Time-Dependent Seismic Fragilities of Older and Newly Designed Multi-Frame Reinforced Concrete Box-Girder Bridges in California
Authors: Abbasi Mohammad , Moustafa Mohamed A.
Published: August 2018

Multi-frame box-girder reinforced concrete bridge is a common bridge class in California, characterized by the use of in-span hinges, which can have adverse effects, such as the pounding of adjacent frames and deck unseating during earthquakes. The goal of this study is to develop and compare a time-dependent overall system and individual components’ fragility curves of older and newly designed multi-frame reinforced concrete bridges in California. These are designed based on the pre-1971 and post-1994 seismic design specifications, respectively. Confidence bounds were developed to investigate the variability in the developed fragility curves. The study shows that older bridges have higher fragilities than new bridges at the system level, and the overall bridge system fragilities are less affected by time-dependent corrosion compared to the column fragilities. Moreover, the developed fragilities were compared to what is available in HAZUS for a better assessment of the currently available tools for this bridge type.

Authors: Ma Guo-Liang , Xie Qiang , Whittaker Andrew
Published: August 2018

Ultra-high–voltage (UHV) power distribution systems are seeing increased use in the seismically active regions of developing world, including China, as backbone power grids are being built out over long distances. This paper presents a study of the seismic performance of a UHV power transformer. Construction details for a typical Chinese UHV power transformer are described. The seismic behavior of the UHV power transformer is evaluated numerically, including calculation of modal properties and response to design basis earthquake shaking. The amplification of ground motion to the points of attachment of the seismically vulnerable transformer bushings is characterized. Alternative configurations for the sidewall-mounted turrets are investigated to mitigate the dynamic response of the 1,100-kV bushing.

Response to neotypification of Paecilomyceshepiali (Hypocreales) (Wang & al., 2015)
Authors: Dai Ru-Qin , Shen Chong-Yao , Li Xiao-Ming , Lan Jiang-Li , Lin Shu-Fang , Shao Ai-Juan
Published: August 2018

Paecilomyces hepiali is a species of fungus isolated from a field collection of natural Cordyceps sinensis insect–fungi complex from the Baima Snow Mountains, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. A dried culture of living strain 82–2 was designated as the holotype and deposited in the Herbarium of the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica (HICMM), China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing. In 2015 a neotype was designated for P. hepiali based on the presumption that the holotype was unavailable for study. We show that the holotype is extant and available, and thus the neotypification is overturned.

Authors: Mani Kumar Vyonkesh , Kapoor Neeru , Nayak Devasharma , Kumar Bhuvnesh
Published: August 2018

Passive hearing protective devices, referred also as ear defenders, work by obstructing noise propagation through the ear canal of the receiver. These gadgets are a popular choice as they offer high attenuation over a broad frequency range, though at times inadequately, especially in the low frequency region, as per International Standards of occupational exposure to noise. Upward masking of speech signal by low frequency noise also degrades the intelligibility of speech in noise that may lead to decrement in performance and hamper the safety of individuals
working in noisy occupational environments. Active noise reducing hearing protective devices lend the possibility of avoiding these problems particularly where the major acoustic energy is centered at low frequencies, rendering these active contraptions a powerful tool in preventing noise induced hearing loss without hampering speech/oral
communication. Accordingly, the present study was undertaken to investigate the potential of Telex Stratus 30 Headset in providing protection against noise induced hearing loss and to evaluate its efficacy in improving the speech intelligibility of our Armed forces personnel working in different noise spectral environments

Authors: Gaur Hari Mohan , Singh Ashutosh Kumar , Ghaneka Umesh
Published: August 2018

Testability leads to a large increment in operating costs from their original circuits which drastically increases the power consumption in logic circuits. This paper presents a new design for testability methodology for the detection of stuck-at faults in multiple controlled Toffoli based reversible circuits. The circuit is modified in such a manner that the applied test vector reaches all the levels without any change in values on the wires of the circuit. An (n+1) dimensional general test set containing only two test vectors is presented, which provide full coverage of single and multiple stuck-at faults in the circuit. The work is further extended to locate the occurrence of stuck-at faults in the circuit. Deterministic approaches are described and the modification methodology is experimented on a set of benchmarks. The present work achieved a reduction up to $50.58\%$ in operating costs as compared to the existing work implemented on the same platform.

Authors: Widawski Krzysztof , Jary Zdzisław , Oleśniewicz Piotr , Owczarek Piotr , Markiewicz-Patkowska Julita , Zaręba Anna
Published: August 2018

This article examines the tourist role of protected areas important for their unanimated nature potential. In Poland the highest form of legal protection is a national park. Babiogórski National Parks is one of 23 national parks in Poland. The aim of this article is to present its tourist attraction based on its geotourist potential considered by tourists who visit this park. At the beginning a brief history of protection of Babia Góra is presented. Based on stock-taking sightseeing method an analysis of the most important tourist attractiveness elements (like infrastructure or tourist values) is done. The focus on the values of unanimated nature is made grouping them into four main categories. As the result of research on infrastructure the most important accommodation units were indicated present at the surroundings of this National Park which is vital for its tourist capacity. For the correct functioning of tourist movement at the protected area the supporting infrastructure is important bearing a lot of functions. The function of channeling of the tourist movement as well as the didactic function are the most important for protection and correct use of geotourist values. Among the many elements of the supporting infrastructure the most important ones are tourist and didactic routes (their course and themes are presented). The most important part of the article is the presentation of the participants of the tourist movement opinions on the Babiogórski National Park tourist attractiveness. A survey was conducted and then analysed on 308 respondents in 2011. They were asked to judge both the quality of infrastructure as well as attraction of geotourist values together with their adaptation to reception by the tourist movement. The results analysis served as a base to appraise the state and perspectives for the geotourism development in Babiogórski National Park from the point of view of the receivers of tourist product i.e. the protected area.
First break psychosis in a young military veteran with cannabis use disorder: an educational case report
Authors: Riess Paulina , Sher Leo
Published: August 2018

Psychotropic management of a first psychotic break is challenging for many psychiatrists. The literature shows that the use of cannabis is widespread in psychotic individuals. The literature also points to young males being most at risk for substance abuse. Studies also show that obstructive sleep apnea and the stress of the military lifestyle contribute to the development of psychosis. Here, we present a case study of a young non-combat veteran with a medical history of obstructive sleep apnea who presented to the Emergency Department of a Veteran’s Affairs hospital with symptoms consistent with a first psychotic break. On routine admission laboratory work, his urine toxicology screen was positive for cannabis. Given the widespread use of cannabis in individuals with psychosis, we suggest that it plays an important role in the regulation of psychosis and behavior.

Background

The prognostic value of primary tumor location (PTL) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) was reported by recent analyses in RAS wild-type patients. Here, we investigated the prognostic value of PTL in RAS mutated mCRC patients.

Materials and Methods

PTL was defined as left or right if distal or proximal to the splenic flexure. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) according to PTL. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to time to metastases and RAS mutation subtypes.

Results

Five hundred sixty-four patients were included. Left- and right-sided cases were 65% and 35%, respectively. No difference in OS was detected according to PTL (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.99, p = .964). No difference in OS was observed in right versus left when looking at synchronous (HR 0.92, p = .557) or metachronous (HR 1.07, p = .807) patients.

Conclusion

No OS difference was detected in RAS mutated mCRC. Molecular and clinical features able to improve prognosis and treatment strategies in this setting are needed.

Published: August 2018

Background

Although chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is considered temporary, some patients report persistent alopecia several years after chemotherapy. There is, however, a paucity of long-term prospective data on the incidence and impact of permanent CIA (PCIA). The objective of our study was to estimate the long-term incidence of PCIA in a cohort of patients with breast cancer whose hair volume and density were measured prior to chemotherapy and who were followed for 3 years after chemotherapy.

Materials and Methods

Prospective cohort study of consecutive patients ≥18 years of age with postoperative diagnosis of stage I–III breast cancer expected to receive adjuvant chemotherapy at the outpatient breast cancer clinic at the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Korea, from February 2012 to July 2013 (n = 61). Objective hair density and thickness were measured using a noninvasive bioengineering device.

Results

The proportion of participants who had PCIA at 6 months and 3 years was 39.5% and 42.3%, respectively. PCIA was characterized in most patients by incomplete hair regrowth. Patients who received a taxane-based regimen were more likely to experience PCIA compared with patients with other types of chemotherapy. At a 3-year follow-up, hair thinning was the most common problem reported by study participants (75.0%), followed by reduced hair volume (53.9%), hair loss (34.6%), and gray hair (34.6%).

Conclusion

PCIA is a common adverse event of breast cancer adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy. Clinicians should be aware of this distressing adverse event and develop supportive care strategies to counsel patients and minimize its impact on quality of life.

Implications for Practice

Knowledge of permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, an under-reported adverse event, should lead to optimized pretherapy counseling, anticipatory coping techniques, and potential therapeutic strategies for this sequela of treatment.

Published: August 2018

On November 6, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted regular approval to vemurafenib for the treatment of adult patients with Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) with BRAFV600 mutation. ECD is a type of histiocytosis, a rare disorder characterized by an abnormal accumulation and behavior of cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system, which includes antigen-processing cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, or macrophages. Recently published data confirm a frequency of 54% of BRAFV600E mutations in patients with ECD.

Approval was based on a cohort of 22 patients who received 960 mg of vemurafenib twice daily within the VE Basket Trial (MO28072), a single-arm, multicenter, multiple cohort study. Patients in the ECD cohort had histologically confirmed ECD with BRAFV600 mutations that were refractory to standard therapy. The ECD cohort achieved an overall response rate of 54.5% (95% confidence interval: 32.2–75.6), with a complete response rate of 4.5%. With a median duration of follow-up of 26.6 months, the median duration of response has not been reached. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (>50%) in the ECD cohort were arthralgia, rash maculo-papular, alopecia, fatigue, electrocardiogram QT interval prolonged, and skin papilloma. The median treatment duration for ECD patients in this study was 14.2 months. This article describes the FDA review of the vemurafenib efficacy supplement for patients with ECD with BRAFV600 mutations.

Implications for Practice

Vemurafenib, an oral monotherapy targeting a mutation in BRAF, is the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for the treatment of Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD). ECD is an extremely rare hematopoietic neoplasm that represents clonal proliferation of myeloid progenitor cells. ECD may involve bone and one or more organ systems, primarily affecting adults in their 5th and 7th decades of life, with a slight male predominance. This approval provides an effective and reasonably safe therapy for patients with a serious and life-threatening condition for which no approved therapy exists.
Effect of borax on early hydration and rheological properties of reactivated cementitious material
Authors: Zhang Linglei , Ji Yongsheng , Huang Guodong , Gao Furong , Dong Zuochao
Published: August 2018

The influence of borax on the early hydration and rheological properties of dehydrated cement paste (DCP) composite reactivated cementitious materials (DCRCM) is investigated through analysis of the hydration kinetics and measurement of rheological parameters. Results show that the presence of borax can effectively restrain the early hydration rate of DCRCM, and this leads to reductions in both the hydration products and the flocculent structure in the paste. Obvious shear thinning occurs in the fresh DCRCM paste with the increase of shear rate, followed by gradually stabilised viscosity. As the amount of borax is increased, the yield stress and plastic viscosity of DCRCM paste decrease and the rheological properties are significantly improved. However, when the amount of borax is 4%, the rheological type of DCRCM paste changes to shear thickening at a high shear rate, which is unfavourable in terms of the improvement of rheological properties.

Published: August 2018

Thermoactive geostructures are considered an economically suitable and environment-friendly solution for heating and cooling buildings. Energy tunnels have gained growing interest in recent years because of the large ground volume involved in heat exchange in comparison to building foundations. Heat exchange is obtained by embedding a circuit of pipes into the precast concrete lining, resulting in a reduction of the initial costs of installation with respect to standard low-enthalpy geothermal solutions. In this paper, thermal activation of the twin tunnels of the II line of Warsaw metro, Poland, is considered with the aim of evaluating the geothermal potential of the line. Thermohydraulic finite-element analyses were performed on a number of representative cross-sections, considering site-specific hydrogeological conditions based on the Engineering Geological Database of the Capital City of Warsaw. Results demonstrate that the thermal activation of the two 1·6 km-long tunnels could exchange up to 5·3 and 5·8 GWh in the heating and cooling seasons, respectively. Furthermore, the influence of the local geological conditions on the exchangeable heat rate was investigated. The results form a basis for a preliminary assessment of the shallow geothermal energy utilisation potential for the design of further extensions of the metro line in Warsaw.
Seismic vulnerability evaluation of power substations’ equipment: a review
Authors: Shahsanee Shirin , Zareei Seyed Alireza
Published: August 2018

The seismic vulnerability of power substations – one of the key components of power networks – has been observed in past earthquakes. In this paper, after surveying significant previous relevant studies, several significant studies are introduced and discussed. According to the observed physical damage, using brittle materials, improper mass distribution, heavy elevated masses and inadequate anchorage are some of the important factors responsible for the high seismic vulnerability of such systems. Probabilistic approaches, particularly those using fragility curves, are considered for the assessment of seismic vulnerability. Various probabilistic studies are presented in terms of comparing and identifying their merits and demerits. Finally, a pluralisation of the studies is presented. The results show that, although all of the previous studies had their own novel ideas, there are still gaps and ambiguities in the knowledge about the seismic performance of these systems.

The cross subsidization in the electric power industry. What is the limit of growth?
Authors: Dolmatov I. A. , Zolotova I, Yu.
Published: August 2018

One of the key pressing challenge the Russian electric power industry faces today in its development and performance is the problem of the cross subsidization between consumer groups. The volume of the cross subsidization in Russia has increased 4 times for 15 years. The conditionally acceptable level of the cross subsidization is estimated based on the additional tariff burden on industrial consumers associated with the implementation of the cross subsidization mechanism. In order to reduce the cross subsidization, it is recommended to increase electricity tariffs for the house-holders by 6% annually. At the transition stage to the target model should be based on the marginal tariff burden on industrial consumers; retail electricity prices for similar consumers in Europe can serve as a “standard” for such a limit (a possible increase in electricity tariffs for industrial consumers on average in Russia is 1.4 times the level of 2016). Options for reducing the cross subsidization and recommendations on how to determine the appropriate volumes are proposed, that is important in the current conditions of the absence of a single adopted methodology for assessing both the value of cross-subsidization and economically justified tariffs.The mechanism of the cross subsidization in the target model of electric energy pricing should be completely excluded, for which the indicator “growth of regulated (final) tariffs for the population” should be included in the forecast of social and economic development of Russia (return to the existing practice until 2017), providing for faster growth rates compared to other consumers.

The article deals with the current trends the growing influence of large agro-industrial groups - agricultural holdings in the agricultural sector of Ukraine. It noted the ambiguous impact of agricultural holdings in the development of rural areas and, in general, their lower social responsibility. Some of the negative features of their economic activities are given. In particular, the meager demand for local labor and low wages of agricultural workers. Certain measures improving the regulation of the activities of agricultural holdings are proposed. The main ones relate to the establishment of limits of their monopoly position, the abolition of state support for them, the differentiation in taxation, and the application of the regulatory approach to the creation of jobs. We also introduce other measures aimed at the development of the Institute of Corporate Social Responsibility of agribusiness and strengthening of its social orientation.
Jungian psychology in a demanding modern world
Authors: St.Hilaire Clarence
Published: August 2018

This article discusses Jungian psychology as a debated, and exclusionary field of psychology using Carl Jung’s influential work to provide light on analytical or environmental psychology, and to present the theoretical rapprochement between Jungian and Freudian theories[4].  A succinct look at the realm of analytical psychology is still pertinent looking at the role of environmental psychology considering several demands from the modern world. To position Jung in minority spheres, where most of his critics have seen expressions of discrimination, and anti-Semitism, the key principles of Jungian theories will be highlighted considering various researchers to ascertain whether there is limited knowledge for this mindful inquiry[2]. In terms of environmental psychology, Jung’s relevance is important to assess. The many perspectives espoused by Jungian advocates warrant further analysis and research, but are necessary to reflect on today’s societal needs for positive, environmental, humanistic psychology, and potential creation of the psyche as a social transformational tool in psychoanalysis.
NÚCLEO DRAMÁTICO E SENSO COMUM: UMA LEITURA DE CAFÉ, DE MÁRIO DE ANDRADE
Authors: Silva Ivan Moura
Published: August 2018

O presente trabalho analisará o romance Café, de Mário de Andrade, sob as perspectivas formal e ideológica. No primeiro caso, será analisado o núcleo dramático que se desenvolve no capítulo As duas irmãs, considerando que esse núcleo se insere num “intervalo dramático”. Isso ocorre devido ao fato de que a trama principal do romance é interrompida para que o núcleo dramático possa se desenvolver. Assim, Café inclui em sua estrutura características dos gêneros romance e drama, o que evidencia a abrangência permitida pela literatura. Já a análise ideológica mostrará o modo como a imprensa contribui para a difusão do senso comum, de modo a preencher a vida cotidiana dos personagens em torno de uma ideologia dominante. Essa ideologia se faz notar pelo comportamento cada vez mais burguês a que a família se submete com a vida na cidade, influenciada particularmente pela leitura de jornais e folhetins.

Published: August 2018

A Linguística Textual é o estudo do texto. Uma vez que os textos são formas específicas de manifestação de linguagem, a Linguística Textual ultrapassa os limites de frases e de sentenças e concebe a linguagem como principal ponto de interação. O trabalho intitulado “The lira ultra-romantic: an analysis of referral processes in Álvares de Azevedo work” parte da seguinte problemática: qual a importância dos processos de Referenciação na construção do texto poético? O corpus de análise é a obra Lira dos vinte anos, de Álvares de Azevedo. Os resultados revelam a presença de algumas estratégias no texto poético, como a recategorização, anáfora indireta, anáfora associativa e dêixis de memória que são importantes não só como ponto estético - na utilização de metáforas recategorizadoras, mas também como facilitador da leitura e da compreensão do texto através de diferentes vocábulos - empregadas nas anáforas indiretas e associativas.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Linguística Textual.

A ORIENTAÇÃO SOCIAL-POLÍTICA DA PALAVRA: REFLEXÕES SOBRE A ESCOLA SEM PARTIDO
Authors: Lopes da Costa Junior José Veranildo , Maia Fernandes Barbosa Maria do Socorro
Published: August 2018

Este artigo propõe uma revisão teórica sobre a orientação social-política da palavra, partindo da tese de que nenhum discurso é neutro (BAKHTIN, 1995) e que, portanto, todo discurso é social-político e ideologicamente localizado. Para tanto, nos ancoramos em dois textos fundamentais para os estudos linguísticos e discursivos: Bakhtin (1995) e Volochínov (2013), para traçar um paralelo comparativo sobre o modo pelo qual estes dois autores concebem a orientação social-política da palavra. Para fins de aplicação analítica, buscamos aproximar esta revisão teórica do projeto Escola sem Partido, proposta de natureza política que busca limitar a liberdade de ensinar, e obstruir o pensamento crítico e reflexivo. Como resultado de nossas análises, enfatizamos que: a) Bakhtin (1995) e Volochínov (2013) concebem a linguagem como signo ideológico, ou seja, é na palavra que exprimimos as nossas vivências e o modo pelo qual lemos o mundo e b) sinalizamos para a incoerência do Escola sem Partido pela inexistência de um discurso neutro, pois o próprio projeto em questão é um exemplo ideológico e político de como os professores devem se portar em sala de aula. Por fim, como conclusões, argumentamos que o Escola sem Partido é um projeto político, dado que nenhum discurso é neutro e que os princípios propagados por este movimento ferem a autonomia docente e criminalizam o pensamento reflexivo e crítico em sala de aula.

MARLOW, PERSONAGEM-NARRADOR-AUTOR.
Authors: Barreiros Gravina Paulo Otávio
Published: August 2018

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de retornar à obra Lord Jim, de Joseph Conrad, destacando e mantendo o foco em sua força poética e em seu poder de entrelaçamento, vistos através de Marlow, que atua como personagem, narrador e autor. O texto analisa as diversas facetas de Marlow, em termos narrativos e poéticos, considerando seu diálogo com os outros personagens e com o leitor e também suas referências textuais ligada a outros autores, como William Shakespeare. Segundo a minha análise, a força da narrativa se dá por meio de uma rede de relações que abarca os personagens, narradores e “autores” da história em um mesmo lugar sem qualquer prioridade ou hierarquia entre eles.
A CONVERGENCE OF GENRES: GOTHIC AND SCIENCE FICTION IN FRANKENSTEIN
Authors: Bernardo Pereira Ismael
Published: August 2018

This article aims to analyze the novel Frankenstein, by Mary W. Shelley, from a perspective of literary genres. The work is believed to manifest both traits of the Gothic genre––due to its structure and common themes to the period it was published––and of what would in future be called the Science fiction genre. Those elements are here observed, in the novel as well as in the context of its creation. In this sense, there is a convergence of genres taking place, albeit one of them is in its nascent form: Shelley's novel antecipate a scientific interest that would be specified in later fiction, being derived from her legacy. Tzvetan Todorov's perspective is considered, inasmuch as he defends the presence of multiple genres inside a work of fiction, as well as the creation of new literary genres from other, pre-existent, ones. It is concluded that the novel manifests enough elements to comprise both the genres here discussed, with its common and different traits.
A ESTRUTURA “ENTRETANTO” NO GÊNERO RESUMO ACADÊMICO: DE CONJUNÇÃO ADVERSATIVA A ELEMENTO ATIVADOR DE POLIFONIA
Authors: Da Silva Marcos Antônio
Published: August 2018

RESUMO: O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar a estrutura linguística entretanto em quatro resumos acadêmicos. Para tal empreendimento, lançamos mão da Teoria da Argumentação na Língua (ANSCOMBRE e DUCROT, 1994) e (DUCROT, 1988). Nessa teoria, esse operador funciona como orientador dos discursos que possibilitam ao leitor produzir determinadas conclusões. A análise realizada no corpus constatou que o uso do operador argumentativo entretanto, no gênero resumo acadêmico, apresenta-se como principal estratégia argumentativa. Além disso, o operador analisado não funciona apenas como elemento de ligação de palavras e orações, mas também ativam pontos de vista diferentes, revelando o posicionamento do locutor responsável pelo texto.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Argumentação. Operador argumentativo. Resumo acadêmico. Polifonia.
DA ESCURIDÃO À CEGUEIRA DA LUZ: ENSAIOS SOBRE A CEGUEIRA EM ANDRÉ CARNEIRO E JOSÉ SARAMAGO
Authors: Sousa Gladson Fabiano de Andrade , Santos Naiara Sales Araujo , Oliveira Rita de Cássia
Published: August 2018

Em 1963, o escritor brasileiro André Carneiro publica seu conto A escuridão, que traz a história de um fenômeno que desafia a ciência: toda fonte de luz, natural ou artificial, não ilumina mais. Sol, fósforos, lanternas se mostram inúteis; assim recai sobre a terra uma escuridão sem precedentes. Mais de trinta anos depois, o escritor português José Saramago lança seu Ensaio sobre a cegueira, romance que traz o drama de um mundo repentinamente afligido por uma epidemia referenciada como “cegueira branca”. Sobre estes semelhantes motes, os autores contemporâneos abrem seus universos ficcionais refletindo sobre a condição humana e como a sua natureza é revelada ao ruir das convenções político-sociais. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os pontos de convergência e divergência entre as obras A escuridão e Ensaio sobre a cegueira, a partir da perspectiva da obra Dialética do esclarecimento (1944) de Adorno e Horkheimer, bem como das discussões acerca da Ficção Científica apresentadas pela crítica literária Elizabeth Ginway. Serão consultadas também os apontamentos do sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman (2003). Palavras-chave: André Carneiro. José Saramago. Cegueira. Dialética do esclarecimento.
O OBJETO MEDIADOR NA LITERATURA FANTÁSTICA
Authors: Scomação da Silva Rhuan Felipe
Published: August 2018

Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a aparição e o efeito do objeto mediador na narrativa fantástica, assim como categorizar três possíveis formas de utilização desta ferramenta na obra literária. A partir da proposta de Ceserani sobre o objeto mediador, onde o crítico o classifica como o atesto de uma verdade inequívoca porque inexplicável e inacreditável dentro da narrativa, o artigo procura evidenciar estas aparições nas obras como um mecanismo de conexão entre a realidade e a ficção. As três maneiras como elencamos a forma de aparição deste mecanismo (o objeto físico inanimado, a entidade sobrenatural física e a invocação\evocação de um ser sobrenatural invisível) são estudadas a partir de exemplos, pontuando suas presenças e suas influências na trama narrativa. Com isso, propõe-se estudar um mecanismo narrativo que evidencia a presença do sobrenatural e coloca a narrativa fantástica para além da hesitação. A aparição do objeto mediador estará geralmente conectada com a presença inquestionável do sobrenatural, por isso torna-se tão poderosa como ferramenta e tão importante na sua atividade de mediação entre o real e o fantástico.
Fantasmas de la literatura argentina: una genealogía crítica del mal en la escritura
Authors: Moscardi Matías
Published: August 2018

El presente artículo retoma los debates desarrollados en Argentina, en la década de los noventa, acerca del grupo poético “Belleza y Felicidad” con el objetivo de pensar relaciones entre el trabajo y emoción estética en la escritura para luego desmontar y analizar, en términos de una genealogía de la crítica, distintos momentos de irrupción de figuras emparentadas con el mal y la mala escritura en la literatura argentina contemporánea a partir de ensayos de Daniel Freidemberg, Beatriz Sarlo y Sandra Contreras.
Poética da República de Curitiba, “laranja azeda”, “sabugo estéril”, “vergonha eterna”: Dalton Trevisan Meia-Oito
Authors: Wolff Jorge H.
Published: August 2018

A partir da expressão “República de Curitiba”, forjada por Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, preso desde abril na cidade e personagem deste ensaio, propõe-se uma reflexão em torno da relação literatura-política com base na obra do escritor Dalton Trevisan, que em 1968 publicou dois livros em um (Desastres do amor e Mistérios de Curitiba) pela editora Civilização Brasileira de Ênio Silveira. Tomando como principal objeto o texto em tom bíblico profano dedicado à destruição da cidade que abre o segundo livro, “Lamentações de Curitiba”, postula-se uma relação entre as espadas desembainhadas nas “Lamentações” e durante as passeatas do movimento estudantil há cinquenta anos no Rio de Janeiro, com forte adesão da classe intelectual, que provocariam o endurecimento do regime militar instalado no poder desde 1964. Os relatos de Dalton Trevisan são vistos da perspectiva das escrituras do desastre segundo Blanchot e da poesia como vida-morte segundo Bataille, juntamente com a fusão de prosa e poesia que se pode ler em Waldman e Agamben.
A PARTICIPAÇÃO DA SOCIEDADE CIVIL NAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE HABITAÇÃO: UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE O CONSELHO MUNICIPAL DE HABITAÇÃO DE INTERESSE SOCIAL DE FLORIANÓPOLIS
Authors: Poletto Eduardo Dias , Ronconi Luciana Francisco de Abreu
Published: August 2018

O presente artigo objetiva verificar a participação da sociedade civil nos processos de formulação de políticas públicas de habitação, tendo como lócus o Conselho Municipal de Habitação de Interesse Social (CMHIS) do município de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Essa pesquisa qualitativa se caracteriza como estudo de caso e contou com análise documental, observação não participante nas reuniões do CMHIS e entrevistas realizadas junto aos conselheiros. O estudo constatou que existe pouca incidência do Conselho em termos de propostas de soluções concretas aos problemas habitacionais existentes na cidade embora se constitua como um espaço de diálogo, participação democrática e aprendizado coletivo.
COMPETÊNCIAS DO BIBLIOTECÁRIO NO TRABALHO EM BIBLIOTECA UNIVERSITÁRIA DE UMA INSTITUIÇÃO PÚBLICA: IMPLICAÇÕES DAS DIMENSÕES INTERDISCIPLINARES E DA SUBJETIVIDADE
Authors: Silveira Luhilda Ribeiro , Rodrigues Ana Paula Grillo
Published: August 2018

Apresentam-se considerações acerca das competências do bibliotecário no trabalho em uma biblioteca universitária de uma instituição pública de ensino. Parte-se da perspectiva pautada na ação no trabalho, onde competência é considera uma ação que se expressa no contexto onde é demandada. Realizou-se pesquisa documental e pesquisa de campo, na biblioteca central do Núcleo de Bibliotecas da UFMA. A análise de dados pautou-se na análise de conteúdo, cujas categorias base foram: grupos de trabalho; situações complexas; e dimensões da competência. Destaca-se a importância da dimensão do sentido do trabalho, e da interdisciplinaridade na expressão das competências no trabalho numa biblioteca universitária e interconexões entre: saber, poder agir, e querer agir, evidenciando que competência se situa em meio à multimensionalidade que envolve a subjetividade e o contexto de trabalho.
