Postoperative atrial fibrillation as a risk factor for cardiovascular complications in non-cardiac surgery
Authors: Dzhioeva O. N. , Drapkina O. M.
Published: September 2020

Reducing mortality due to cardiovascular complications (CVC) after non-cardiac surgery is one of the priority tasks of modern healthcare. According to the literature data, it is the CVC that are leading cause of perioperative mortality in non-cardiac surgery. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication after surgery. It is believed that in most cases the AF is potentiated by a combination of factors. It is intraoperative triggers, such as deliberate hypotension, anemia, injury, and pain, that can directly contribute to development of arrhythmia. However, heart rate monitoring after non-cardiac surgery is performed in only a small number of patients, so in most cases, arrhythmias remain unreported. The Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) and theAmericanCollegeof Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) Surgical Risk Calculator are the current tools for assessing perioperative cardiovascular risk. Postoperative AF is not included in any CVC risk stratification system. The presented review systematizes the data that postoperative AF is closely associated with perioperative complications and in some cases it may be the only marker of these complications.  It has been shown that AF detection is of great clinical importance in both high-risk patients and, especially, in patients with a low risk of potential complications in non-cardiac surgery.

Aim. To study the prevalence of intermittent claudication (IC) and assess the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause death In Russian men with IC according to 30-year follow-up.

Material and methods. The study used data obtained from representative samples of men examined inMoscow andSt. Petersburg (formerly known  as Leningrad) from 1975 to 1986. Response rate was 75%. The examination of men (n=10953) aged 35-70 years (mean age 48,8±6,6 years) was carried out according to a single protocol, which included a standard survey, biochemical profile test, measurement of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate, anthropometry and 12-lead electrocardiography. To determine IC, the original Rose questionnaire was used, according to which four categories of pain were identified. The first is the absence of pain (P0); the second — mixed pain, including not associated with exercise (P1); the third — atypical pain in calf muscles lasting >10 minutes of rest (P2); the fourth — typical IC (P3). The median follow-up was 21,9 years. In total, 7,893 people died, including 4220 people due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The KaplanMeier curves was used to assess the associations between IC categories and survival. The risk of death, including due to CVD, was assessed using Cox proportional hazard models.

Results. There were 38,8% of men with leg pain. The prevalence of IC in the studied sample was 1,0%, increasing with age from 0,4 to 2,3% in the older age group. As expected, individuals without leg pain live the longest. The years of life lost in persons with IC was 12. This parameter for cardiovascular deaths was 22,4 years. The contribution to survival not only of IC (P3), but also of atypical pain (P2) remains significant regardless of age. Moreover, the results of multivariate analysis showed that the contribution to mortality of P3 and P2 does not depend on increased blood pressure, smoking, ischemic and other electrocardiographic abnormalities, a history of myocardial infarction, which indicates the common etiology of lower limb and heart artery diseases. Similar data were obtained regarding cardiovascular mortality, however, the contribution of CI is more significant.

Conclusion. IC In Russian men aged 35-70 years is an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular death.

Aim. To study the features of biochemical and morphometric parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cognitive impairment (CI).

Material and methods. The experimental group included 72 patients with CI and T2D, the control group − 20 patients with T2D and without CI. We used the Montreal Cognitive Scale (MoCA) to assess the presence of CI. We also evaluated the levels of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and data of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Results. We revealed that patients with T2D and CI have high HbA1c levels, but there was no significant difference of 1,5-AG levels between the groups. In patients with CI, we also established a decrease in gray and white matter surface area, as well as subcortical structures (the hippocampus, nucleus accumbens and putamen on both sides; the amygdala and globus pallidus on the right). The severity of CI correlated with polyneuropathy severity. In patients with proliferative retinopathy, there was a decrease in the volume of the caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, putamen and nucleus accumbens.

 Conclusion. The study revealed that patients with T2D with CI have worse  levels  of  carbohydrate  metabolism  parameters,  as  well  as a decrease in the cortical and subcortical brain structures.

Abstract Introduction To prevent the shrinkage stresses produced during polymerization, composite resins of low polymerization shrinkage were developed. Objective To evaluate the microtensile bond strength in class I cavities restored by acid-etching the cavosurface angle and with composite resins indicated for posterior teeth. Material and method 48 healthy molars were selected and divided into six groups (n = 8), considering that the cavosurface enamel of three groups was etched with 35% phosphoric acid. The teeth were restored with the Clearfil SE Bond adhesive system and Filtek Z350 XT, Empress Direct, and Charisma Diamond composite resins, which were light-cured for 40 seconds. After 24 hours, the teeth were taken to a cutting machine, which produced sections in the buccolingual and mesiodistal directions. This resulted in toothpicks of 0.9×0.9 mm that were taken to the universal testing machine for the microtensile bond strength test. Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA and Tukey’s test (p < 0.05). Result There was no statistically significant difference between the groups evaluated. Conclusion Acid-etching the cavosurface angle did not affect the performance of restorations, probably due to the adhesive system used.

ABSTRACT Exostoses or hyperostoses are benign bony outgrowths originating from the cortical bone and depend on their location for a more precise designation. The most common types found in the oral cavity are the torus palatinus and the torus mandibularis. Buccal and palatal exostoses are located along the buccal aspect of the maxilla and/or the mandible (commonly in the premolar and molar areas) and on the palatal aspect of the maxilla (usually in the tuberosity area), respectively. The etiology of exostoses still hasn’t been enlightened but an interaction between environmental and genetic factors is accredited. They are usually asymptomatic, unless the mucosa becomes ulcerated. The frequency of exostoses increases with age, having their biggest prevalence from 60 years old, being more common in men and suffering ethnic influences. A thorough evaluation is important for the correct diagnosis since other lesions have similar clinical characteristics to the exostoses such as osteomas. The majority of exostoses are diagnosed clinically along with radiographic interpretations, making the biopsy dispensable and the treatment is usually unnecessary. The aim of this article was to describe a case report of bilateral maxillary exostosis, unusual, in a female patient. If an excessive amount of bone is present the exostoses may exhibit a relative radiopacity on dental radiographs. Initially, periapical and panoramic radiographs were performed to evaluate the alterations. Due to the size of the exostoses a concomitant Cone Beam Computed Tomography was performed to confirm the diagnosis. The patient is in follow-up.

ABSTRACT Foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses after critical accidents are rare occurrences that have sporadically been reported worldwide. Firearm projectiles, daggers, knives, glass fragments, stones, teeth, and wood can get lodged in the soft and hard tissues of the face. The management and prognosis in these cases depend on the composition and location of the foreign body as well as on the presence or absence of infection. Although there are reports involving the soft tissues of the face, the ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses are the most frequently involved sites. The main manifestation of this condition is sinusitis arising from infection and/or inflammation caused by the foreign body, which is a contaminated object. We report a case of removal of a firearm projectile located in the maxillary sinus of a 34-year-old patient under local anesthesia.

ABSTRACT This clinical report describes the treatment of a patient dissatisfied with the esthetics of the smile due to the presence of narrow teeth, yellow and the presence of diastema between teeth 11 and 21. Clinical examination revealed absence of the disocclusion guides. The treatment plan consisted in obtaining study casts, assembly in a semi-adjustable articulator and diagnostic waxing, to evaluate the possibilities of a restorative treatment. After the approved the viability of the procedure, dental bleaching was started in-office with 38% hydrogen peroxide associated with at-home bleaching with 15% carbamide peroxide, in order to reduce the yellowing of the teeth. Afterwards, the functional evaluation of the restorative procedure was carried out through the prior preparation of the mock-up. After functional approval of the mock-up, lip frenectomy was performed, since the frenulum is the cause of the diastema between the teeth 11 and 21. After 4 weeks was carried out the restorative procedure of teeth 13 to 23, with direct composite resin, improving the aesthetics of the smile and restoring the disocclusion guides.

Authors: TSHISWAKA Serge Kalongo , PINHEIRO Sérgio Luiz
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of music on anxiety in children during dental care Methods: A total of 40 children 5 to 11 years old were selected; they were randomized into 2 groups (n = 20): group 1: experimental, children were subjected to music therapy; group 2: control, children were not subjected to music therapy. We measured oxygen saturation, heart rate and levels of Corah anxiety scale and pain scale. The results for heart rate were evaluated by ANOVA. The Kruskal Wallis (Dunn) test was used to evaluate the oxygen saturation results and the Wilcoxon test for Corah anxiety and pain scores Results: There was a significant decrease in heart rate (pulse) in children who listened to music during dental treatment (p = 0.05). In the group without music, heart rate remained unchanged throughout the care (p = 0.53). There was no significant difference in oxygen saturation or Corah anxiety and pain scores in children who listened to music during dental care (p > 0.05) Conclusion: It can be concluded that music is a non-pharmacological alternative that reduces anxiety levels in children during dental treatment.

Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT More than one herbicide application is usually necessary to manage glyphosate-resistant sourgrass in advanced stages of development efficiently during off-season fallow periods. The objective of this study was to determine the best interval between two sequential applications to control sourgrass, based on the number of days and tiller-height after the first treatment. Two experiments were conducted based on these criteria. Experiment 1 consisted of one application of glyphosate + clethodim (1140 ae ha-1 + 108 g ha-1) followed by glyphosate + clethodim or paraquat (400 g ai ha-1) at an interval of 10, 17, 24, 31, 28, or 45 days. Experiment 2 was conducted with the same herbicide treatments, but using the tiller-height as the criteria for the second application, which were 2-5, 6-10, 11-20, 21-30, and >30 cm. None of the treatments resulted in total sourgrass control during the evaluation period. Overall, treatments with glyphosate + clethodim in the second application were more efficient than paraquat. The most effective interval between sequential applications of glyphosate + clethodim was observed at 17 to 24 days. For paraquat, the best interval for the second application was 6-10 days. The most effective performances based on the tiller-height were found at 620 cm tall for glyphosate + clethodim and 6-10 cm tall for paraquat.

ABSTRACT Root lesion nematodes limit the productivity of several crops of economic importance, requiring alternatives for their management. Resistance inducers activate enzymes involved in defense mechanisms and micronutrients can influence this process by acting as enzymatic cofactors. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of a commercial organomineral fertilizer and its association or not with zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) micronutrients on the Pratylenchus brachyurus suppression and soybean plant development under greenhouse conditions. Shoots of soybean were treated 10 days after germination and inoculated with 5000 nematodes/plant five days after the treatments, using untreated plants as controls. Treatments consisted of a commercial product based on phosphorylated mannanoligosaccharide derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (here coded as MOS), Zn, Mn, MOS+Zn, MOS+Mn or MOS+Zn+Mn. At sixty days after establishment of treatments, the plants were collected and evaluated for vegetative analysis, nematological analysis and nutrient contents. The work was repeated at different times: experiment 1 from November 2016 to January 2017 and experiment 2 from October to November 2017. All treatments were efficient in controlling P. brachyurus in at least one of the evaluated nematological parameters, compared to the control. However, only the plant spraying with MOS+Zn results in significative reduction of the total number of nematodes and the number of P. brachyurus nematodes per gram of soybean root in both experiments. In addition, spraying of plants with Mn increased shoot dry weight and all treatments resulted in higher concentrations of copper, Zn and Mn in soybeans leaves compared to control.

ABSTRACT The root-lesion nematodes Pratylenchus spp. have a wide geographic distribution and a large number of host plants. These migratory endoparasites are found associated with sugarcane around the world causing diseases that induce permanent losses in productivity. Although this genus has ordinarily been reported in low-producing sugarcane areas in northeastern Brazil, studies of the species occurrence are few and restricted to a very low number of sites and samples. This study aimed to morphologically and morphometrically characterize Pratylenchus species from different sugarcane regions of Pernambuco state, where composite samples of soil and roots were collected on 30 farms from three sugarcane mills. The external morphological characters of the nematode body from different populations had a diagnostic value compatible with those obtained in the literature, showing the dominance of P. zeae (87%) in the region. Atypical populations of the genus Pratylenchus were also found.

ABSTRACT Multifunctional microorganisms can contribute significantly to improve plant performance and are innovative technology for sustainable development. Thus, objective of this study was to determine the effect of bioagents applied alone or in mix on the performance of upland rice. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design with four replications. The 26 treatments consisted of the rhizobacteria Bacillus sp. (BRM 32109, BRM 32110 and 1301), Azospirillum sp. (1381), Azospirillum brasilense (Ab-V5), Pseudomonas sp. (BRM 32112), Pseudomonas fluorescens (BRM 32111), Burkholderia pyrrocinia (BRM 32113), Serratia sp. (BRM 32114), and a fungal genus formed by a pool of Trichoderma asperellum (T-06, T-09, T-12, and T-52), applied alone or in mix, plus a control treatment without microorganism application. The most effective treatments were the mixes of microorganisms 1301 + Ab-V5 and BRM 32114 + pool of Trichoderma asperellum, as they provided an average increase of 123 and 88% in the number of panicles and 206 and 167% in the grain yield of upland rice plants, respectively. Mixes of 1301 + Ab-V5, BRM 32114 + Trichoderma asperellum pool, BRM 32110 + BRM 32114, BRM 32110 + Ab-V5, 1301 + BRM 32110 and 1381 + Trichoderma asperellum pool also provided better morphophysiological performance in rice plants (photosynthetic rate, carboxylation efficiency, number of tillers, shoot dry biomass and nutrient content in shoot and root). Therefore, the use of multifunctional microorganisms in the management of upland rice was efficient in its ability to provide better development of plants.

ABSTRACT Rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) limits rice (Oryza sativa) grain yields worldwide. The objective of this investigation was to morphologically, biochemically, and molecularly characterize six bacterial isolates, BRM 32109, BRM 32110, BRM 32111, BRM 32112, BRM 32113, and BRM 32114, and to determine their potential as antagonists to M. oryzae. Morphological characterization was based on colony formation and color, Gram staining, and fluorescent pigment production. Biochemical studies were based on cellulase, chitinase, phosphatase, indoleacetic acid, and siderophore production, as well as biofilm formation. The molecular identification used specific primers for PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA region, followed by sequencing. The antagonism studies involved three experiments, which had randomized designs. Two of them were conducted in laboratory conditions, pairing bacterial colonies and M. oryzae, using bacterial filtrates, and the third was conducted in greenhouse conditions. BRM 32111 and BRM 32112 were identified as Pseudomonas sp., BRM 32113 as Burkholderia sp., BRM 32114 as Serratia sp., and BRM 32110 and BRM 32109 as Bacillus spp. BRM 32112, BRM 32111, and BRM 32113 inhibited the colony of M. oryzae by 68%, 65%, and 48%, respectively. The bacterial suspensions of the BRM 32111, BRM 32112, and BRM 3212 filtrates suppressed leaf blast by 81.0, 79.2, and 66.3%, respectively. BRM 32111 and BRM 32112 were determined to be antagonists of M. oryzae and were found to solubilize phosphate, produce siderophores and cellulose, form biofilms, and suppress leaf blast. These isolates should be further investigated as potential biological control agents for leaf blast control.

ABSTRACT The significant economic potential of Swietenia macrophylla has caused immense reductions in the native populations, jeopardizing their survival. Restoring these populations requires the establishment of quality seedling production, which depends on adequate evaluation of the physiological state of seeds. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of temperature and light on seed germination and seedling growth of S. macrophylla. The experimental design was completely randomized, with ten treatments of four replicates of 50 seeds. Treatments consisted of: constant temperatures of 23, 29, 35 and 41 °C, with photoperiods of 24 and 12 h of light, and alternating temperatures of 25-35 °C and 30-40 °C, with 12 h of light. Water content, germination, germination speed index, stem diameter, root length, shoot length, root dry mass and shoot dry mass of seedlings were evaluated. At 41 oC, S. macrophylla seeds failed to germinate. A constant temperature of 29 oC under 24 h of light favors the germination process of seeds and initial seedling growth.

ABSTRACT The study was conducted to evaluate the growth and physicochemical quality of West Indian cherry cv. BRS 366-Jaburu, as a function of saline water irrigation and potassium fertilization. The research was conducted under greenhouse conditions in Campina Grande-PB. The experimental design was randomized blocks in a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement, which consisted of two levels of irrigation water electrical conductivity - ECw (0.8 and 3.8 dS m-1) and four levels of potassium of 50, 75, 100 and 125% of the recommendation, in which the dose of 100% was equivalent to 19.8 g of K2O per plant year-1, with three replicates and one plant per replicate. Water salinity of 3.8 dS m-1 inhibited the absolute and relative growth in diameter of the rootstock and scion of West Indian cherry plants, in the period from 100 to 465 days after transplanting. The interaction between saline levels and potassium doses was significant for hydrogen potential, soluble solids and anthocyanins levels in BRS 366-Jaburu West Indian cherry fruits, with the highest values obtained in plants fertilized with 125, 125 and 50% of the K2O recommendation and under water salinity of 3.8, 3.8 and 0.8 dS m-\ respectively. Increasing doses of K did not attenuate the effects of salt stress on the relative growth in rootstock stem diameter, fruit polar diameter and anthocyanin contents of West Indian cherry. Soluble solid contents in West Indian cherry pulp increased with application of K2O.

ABSTRACT Well-operated and calibrated weighing lysimeters reliably determine the water demand of agricultural crops, and the quality of the data is evaluated through the error analyses attributed to the instrument. The objective of this study was to determine performance parameters of a weighing lysimeter and to evaluate its adequacy for the direct determination of cocoa crop evapotranspiration. The lysimeter with 1.44 m2 surface, supported on four load cells installed in the experimental area of the Graduate Program in Agricultural Engineering of the Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia, was calibrated at 3:00 a.m., using known masses at intervals of 02 minutes in five cycles of addition and removal. Data were collected using a datalogger coupled to four load cells with an individual capacity of 1000 kg, programmed to perform readings every 01 second, storing the averages of 15 minutes. The lysimeter showed excellent accuracy, with r2greater than 0.99 in the correlation between the standard masses and the signal of the load cells and standard error of linear regression estimate of 0.03 mm. The combination of repeatability and hysteresis errors with an uncertainty of 0.19% showed that the load cells have accuracy of ±0.07 mm, with resolution of 0.00033 mV, and sensitivity to detect mass changes below 0.1 mm, the system is adequate for direct measurement of cocoa ETc at time intervals of less than one hour.

ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental problem in many parts of the world and represents a serious problem for sustainable agriculture and the environment, with direct and indirect impacts on soil quality and fertility. This study aimed to use the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model to estimate rill erosion and determine soil physical and hydraulic properties, which are essential to investigate its performance. To this end, an experiment was carried out in the Exu Creek watershed, in Serra Talhada, semi -arid region of Pernambuco State (Brazil), under increasing flow rates: T1: 5.87 L min-1; T2: 12.10 L min-1; T3: 20.33 L min1; and T4: 27.57 L min-1. Liquid and solid discharges were sampled for determination and characterization of hydraulic parameters in preformed rill flows. Reynolds numbers between 2,019 and 6,929 and Froude numbers below 1 found in this study attest to occurrence of erosive rills. Soil losses due to rill erosion increased as flow rates increased. Rill erodibility was 0.0011 kg N-1 s-1, and critical shear stress (tc) was 1.91 Pa, collapsing rill sidewalls and increasing local uplift, wet perimeter, and rill hydraulic radius.

Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT In intensive vegetable production systems, it is natural to increase nutrient contents in the soil due to the frequent fertiliser applications, especially phosphorus (P). There are few studies on the response of vegetables to phosphate fertilisation under such conditions. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance of rocket as a function of phosphorus fertilisation in a P-rich Rhodic Eutrudox soil. Five P doses (0, 50, 100, 200, and 300 kg ha-1 P2O5) were evaluated in a randomised complete block design with four replicates. Maximum soil P content and shoot P content at harvest were obtained at a dose of 300 kg ha-1 P2O5. Rocket responded negatively to P fertilisation. The increase of P doses promoted the decrease of height and yield of the crop.

A hipótese central do artigo é a de que é possível identificar a permanência da criminologia positivista nas ciências criminais também nos estudos que envolvem crimes praticados por e/ou contra mulheres e que as criminologias feministas e a criminologia crítica, apesar de divergências (reais e/ou aparentes) nos campos epistemológico e político-criminal, apresentam uma identidade comum antipositivista que possibilita o redimensionamento das perguntas que entrelaçam as questões penal e criminal com as de gênero. O estudo se desenvolve a partir do levantamento das principais pesquisas sobre os temas e propõe uma reflexão teórica que procura identificar uma hipótese comum ou identidade compartilhada entre a teoria crítica (criminologia crítica) e o feminismo (criminologias feministas).
Deslocados ambientais: uma análise com base na dignidade da pessoa humana
Authors: Vedovato Luis Renato , Franzolin Cláudio José , Roque Luana Reis
Published: September 2020

Resumo Considerando que a ocorrência de desastres ambientais é uma realidade cada vez mais frequente, busca-se apresentar uma nova situação de mobilidade humana: o deslocamento ambiental, pois a degradação e deterioração do meio ambiente pode ganhar proporções de modo a inviablizar a sobrevivência e subsistência de indíviduos ou comunidades em seus locais de origem. Tal situação compromete gravemente o modo de vida adotado, inclusive pode ser entendida como violação de direitos humanos, de modo que se converte em tema legítimo de interesse da comunidade internacional. Entretanto, o que se vê sobre o deslocamento humano por causas ambientais é um vazio normativo.
Los amici curiae como “método legal feminista”: una exploración de sus potencialidades en casos de violencia de género en el contexto argentino
Authors: Sáenz M. Jimena
Published: September 2020

Resumen Este trabajo se propone explorar las potencialidades de los amici curiae como estrategia de incidencia legal feminista en materia de violencia de género. Para ello, la primera sección repasa una serie de problemas recurrentes que presenta el derecho ante los problemas que involucran desigualdad de género (1.a.) y que se agravan cuando se trata de casos de violencia sexista en el contexto argentino (1.b.). La segunda sección avanza una serie de posibilidades estratégicas que abren los memoriales de amici curiae como “método legal feminista” en ese panorama, incluyendo ejemplos de prácticas con distinto grado de éxito en Argentina y algunos casos que iluminan lo que podemos aprender de la experiencia comparada.
O espaço do direito na Teoria da Justiça de Axel Honneth
Authors: Hamel Marcio Renan
Published: September 2020

Resumo A presente pesquisa discute o espaço do direito na teoria da justiça de Axel Honneth. Para tanto, o texto está dividido em três seções, sendo a primeira a análise do direito enquanto padrão de reconhecimento intersubjetivo, ao lado do amor e da solidariedade. A segunda seção trata a consolidação da teoria da justiça honnethina e a forma pela qual a justiça é pensada no centro da teoria do reconhecimento social. A terceira e última sessão aborda o lugar do direito na teoria da justiça. Considerando a tese de uma justiça descentralizada e relacional, Honneth constroi uma teoria da justiça sem a presença do direito enquanto sistema jurídico.
Global Justice: Why not State jurisdictions in transnational financial disputes?
Authors: Manzo Alejandro Gabriel
Published: September 2020

Abstract The article brings the debate about Global Justice to the centre stage of the Sovereign Debt Restructuring (SDRs) field. The judicial system that intervenes in sovereign debt conflicts was not on the agenda of the last reform processes activated in this field. In the NML Capital vs. Argentina (NML) trial, judges from different instances and different jurisdictions issued declarations of the same dimensions related to the same object of litigation. The article makes a comparative analysis of the argumentative strategies that judges used at the time of justifying their positions in order to show the tensions in which they incurred. It is explained that: a) these tensions are the result of agents -the judges- that must take decisions in a context of crossroads where the expected option in accordance with usual legal practices would undermine their own position in the field of sovereign debt market; b) these crossroads are rooted in the structural limits of the judicial system in which these agents operate. Contrary to what official statements postulate, it is argued that these limits conspire against the possibility that state courts provide Justice in transnational disputes, in which they must judge another equally sovereign State.
La voz de los vencidos: Justicia y experiencia colonial en Walter Benjamin
Authors: Alvarez-Nakagawa Alexis
Published: September 2020

Resumen La idea de rescatar la voz de los vencidos, tarea que Benjamin declara urgente e indispensable en las Tesis sobre la filosofía de la historia, tiene una historia que puede remontarse a su interés temprano por la colonización de América. Un ejemplo de este interés puede encontrarse en la pequeña reseña que se traduce con este artículo, Marcel Brion, Bartolomé de Las Casas. Padre de los indios. Mi artículo reconstruye las circunstancias bajo las cuales se produjo este texto, indicando algunas claves de lectura que permiten relacionarlo con otras ideas que Benjamin elaborará a lo largo de toda su vida sobre el rol del lenguaje, la justicia y la historia. Además de ello, el artículo intenta esclarecer qué significa “salvar la voz de los vencidos” y los problemas que esta idea acarrea en el contexto colonial. Siguiendo el método empleado por el propio autor, el ensayo utilizará la técnica del montaje, colocando momentos biográficos y textos afines que permitirán iluminar una arista no tan conocida en la obra de Benjamin.
Crítica, Coerção e Vida Sagrada na “Crítica da Violência” de Benjamin
Authors: Butler Judith
Published: September 2020

Resumo Eu gostaria de abordar a questão da violência, mais especificamente, a questão do que uma crítica da violência poderia ser. Que significado o termo crítica assume quando se torna uma crítica da violência? Uma crítica da violência é uma investigação sobre as condições para a violência, mas também um questionamento sobre como a violência é previamente delimitada pelas perguntas que fazemos acerca dela. De que modo, então, podemos colocar a questão do que é a violência? Não precisamos saber como lidar com tal questão antes de perguntarmos, como devemos, quais são as formas legítimas e ilegítimas de violência? Eu enxergo o ensaio “Crítica da Violência” de Benjamin, escrito em 1921, como uma crítica da violência do direito, o tipo de violência que o Estado exerce por instaurar e manter o status vinculante que o direito impõe sobre quem está a ele sujeito (resumo e palavras-chaves pelo editor).
Tempo Messiânico e Historicidade Revolucionária em Walter Benjamin
Authors: Löwy Michael
Published: September 2020

Resumo Ao propor uma análise da trajetória intelectual desta grande figura, que é Walter Benjamin, Michael Löwy mostra como o filósofo criticou diversas historicidades, notadamente a do tempo mecânico ou da ideia tranquilizadora de um progresso linear. Ele lhes opõe um tempo qualitativamente outro e raro, marcado pela articulação entre perspectiva messiânica e historicidade revolucionária, associando assim a tradição judaica e a convicção marxista.
IMIGRAÇÃO INTERNACIONAL E CONTRATOS DE TRABALHO NO IMPÉRIO DO BRASIL: COLONOS EUROPEUS NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE ESTRADAS NA DÉCADA DE 1830
Authors: Cravo Télio Anísio , Rodrigues Pedro Conterno , Godoy Marcelo Magalhães
Published: September 2020

Resumo Este artigo analisa as formas jurídicas de controle de trabalhadores livres no Brasil durante a década de 1830. Esta pesquisa explora o modo de contratação de imigrantes internacionais destinados para construir uma estrada em Minas Gerais em direção à capital do Império. Os arranjos de trabalho foram estabelecidos com intermediação direta de empresa privada de colonização, especializada no recrutamento e imigração de trabalhadores estrangeiros. Com apoio financeiro e político do governo, oito colonos artífices foram engajados no serviço de obras públicas, tendo como base os instrumentos coercitivos previstos na Lei de Locação de Serviços de 1837. O artigo enfatiza os interesses e conflitos envoltos na experiência de imigrantes livres na conjuntura de incerteza de continuidade do tráfico negreiro nos anos de 1830.
DOIS MESTRES DE OFÍCIO ALEMÃES NO RECIFE OITOCENTISTA: MUNDO DO TRABALHO ARTESANAL E SOCIABILIDADES COTIDIANAS
Authors: Cord Marcelo Mac
Published: September 2020

Resumo No Recife oitocentista, artífices brasileiros (pernambucanos e de outras províncias) disputaram mercados com os artesãos europeus. Conflitos entre trabalhadores estrangeiros e nacionais foram uma tônica no referido tempo-espaço. O artigo que entrego ao leitor conta a história de dois mestres de ofícios alemães que experimentaram as referidas conjunturas e construíram estratégias para conquistar serviços (públicos e particulares) e aliados (brasileiros e estrangeiros) para além da pequena comunidade germânica que viveu no Recife oitocentista. Portanto, nesse texto, por meio de significativas evidências empíricas, travaremos contato com as existências do mestre de obras Theodoro Rampk e do mestre marceneiro Remigio Kneip, o que permitirá que conheçamos suas agências e os limites sociais que lhes foram impostas.
Investigações Subterrâneas: perspectivas errantes e modos de expressão
Authors: Fischer Rodrigo , Matsumoto Roberta Kumasaka
Published: September 2020

Resumo: O artigo objetiva investigar o processo de criação do projeto interdisciplinar A sombra dos outros, realizado pelo Grupo Desvio, na cidade de Nova Iorque, a partir de uma imersão errante no universo subterrâneo da cidade. Esse processo foi realizado por meio de procedimentos estéticos e filosóficos que buscavam desestabilizar e descentralizar noções como corpo, indivíduo e representação. Este ensaio apresenta então procedimentos que permitem a reconfiguração de modos de expressão e a instauração de um plano que permita novas percepções e novos modos de existência.

Published: September 2020

Today, with the increasing sensitivity to environmental issues, bio-based materials are needed as an alternative to traditional materials. Rosin is used for biomaterial production due to its abundance in nature and cheapness. This study aims to produce bio-epoxy using powdered rosin with enhanced mechanical properties. Powdered rosin was used at 1, 3 and 5 wt.% to study the effect of additive ratios. Three different mixing methods were used to make the mixture homogeneous. A magnetic stirrer was used in the first method, an ultrasonic stirrer was used in the second method and both were used in the third method. Bio-epoxy was successfully synthesized, and mechanical properties were examined by tensile, compression, density and hardness tests. As a result, it was determined that the best mixing method was the third mixing method, and the best results in additive ratios were obtained at 1 wt.% for tensile strength (5.63%) and hardness (14.41%) and at 5 wt.% for compression strength (8.28%).
Biopolymers based on copolyester and modified banana starch: property approach
Authors: Valle Vladimir , Aldás María Belén , Iles Sonia , Proaño Erick , Almeida-Naranjo Cristina E
Published: September 2020

Aliphatic–aromatic copolyester/oxidized starch blends were formulated using different copolyester proportions and a constant starch–plasticizer ratio. After homogeneity evaluation, the samples were subjected to mechanical and thermal analyses. Subsequently, biodegradability evaluation under sandy loam garden soil was performed. The results showed that tensile strength, Young’s modulus and elongation at break presented a proportional increase with copolyester content. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis evidenced that the blend composition has no important influence on the glass transition temperature. The biodegradability tests showed a proportional relation between the amount of modified starch in the formulations and their degradation. Moreover, samples with a higher mass loss exhibited greater color changes, which indicate the microorganisms’ activity.
Imagen aérea como representación pictórica de la fotointerpretación topográfica de la provincia de Bíobío
Authors: Cárdenas Ramón Esteban , Godoy Uribe Gustavo Modesto , Figueroa Gutiérrez Eugenio Enrique
Published: September 2020

Las manifestaciones contemporáneas de las Artes Visuales postulan un amplio lenguaje de comunicación entre el creador, el proceso, la obra creada y el espectador. Estas definen la comprensión de la realidad sobre la base de estereotipos estéticos, simbólicos e ideológicos acerca de los mecanismos que modelan la construcción de creencias relacionadas con el discurso de las performances e instalaciones, las nuevas tecnologías, el hacktivismo, el arte digital y el Net Art, entre otras manifestaciones. En este sentido, la Geomática posee directa relación con el arte contemporáneo porque en sus áreas de conocimiento específico como la fotogrametría, la topografía y los sistemas de información geográfica utiliza, en la actualidad, las imágenes obtenidas por dispositivos digitales como soporte para la investigación. De manera interdisciplinaria, estos permiten el desarrollo de diferentes mecanismos de representación visual, cognitivos y emocionales que condicionan nuestra manera de conocer, percibir y experimentar la realidad. En el presente artículo se exponen algunos lineamientos de reflexión teórica que fundamentan el proyecto RV30. Así, este estudio adopta el modelo de investigación en creación artística que orientan el desarrollo disciplinar del artista como investigador y la fusión de un nuevo formato relacionado con el arte y la tecnología. Los resultados de nuestro proceso creativo permiten acercar al público al conocimiento y utilización de esta última. El proyecto abarca la fotografía aérea digital dentro de los parámetros de la fotogrametría desde una perspectiva bidimensional relacionada con la creación y exhibición pública de 12 pinturas sobre un repertorio iconográfico de la topografía de la provincia del Biobío.
