Probiotics supplementation in prophylaxis and treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders – a review of current research
Authors: Herman Anna
Published: May 2019

Rosnące w ostatnich latach zainteresowanie związkiem mikroflory jelitowej ze stanem zdrowia człowieka zaowocowało badaniami nad wpływem mikroflory jelitowej na zdrowie psychiczne, w tym funkcje afektywne ośrodkowego układu nerwowego (OUN). Dotychczasowe badania na zwierzętach ujawniły istnienie dwukierunkowego systemu komunikacyjnego pomiędzy mikrobiotą przewodu pokarmowego i ośrodkowym układem nerwowym, tzw. osi jelitowo-mózgowej modulującej działanie OUN poprzez mechanizmy immunologiczne, endokrynologiczne i neuronalne. Badania kliniczne wykazały związek zastosowanych probiotyków zawierających określone gatunki i szczepy bakterii z regulacją odpowiedzi organizmu na stres i nasileniem objawów depresyjnych i lękowych u ludzi oraz przedstawiły różnice składu mikroflory jelitowej pacjentów z rozpoznanym epizodem depresyjnym w porównaniu z populacją ludzi zdrowych. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie aktualnego stanu wiedzy na temat zależności pomiędzy składem mikroflory bakteryjnej jelit a funkcjami afektywnymi OUN oraz wpływu zastosowania probiotyków na objawy depresyjne i lękowe u ludzi. Dotychczasowe badania nad zastosowaniem probiotyków w profilaktyce i leczeniu zaburzeń depresyjnych i lękowych obejmowały zbyt małe grupy osób, zwłaszcza w grupach chorych z rozpoznaną depresją, aby można było jednoznacznie określić skuteczność probiotyków w profilaktyce, a w szczególności leczeniu tych zaburzeń u ludzi.

Kobieta w społeczności ormiańskiej w dawnej Polsce (wieki XVII i XVIII)
Authors: Gliński Andrzej
Published: May 2019

Women in Armenian Community of Old Poland (the 17th and 18th Centuries)A woman in the modern period was confined to her social role of a mother, wife and daughter. Armenian craftsmen’s and merchant’s wives in Poland enjoyed freedom, which gave them potential for greater influence in their marriages. Due to their husbands’ frequent departures, the wives’ time was divided between professional work and households management. It is possible that a seventeenth-century chronicler Jan Alembek is in fact pointing to independence when he is criticising the female Armenians for their tenacity. Alembek also imputes acrimony to elderly Armenians, which he seems to conclude from numerous petty court cases involving Armenians, which fill Armenian court records.

Authors: Afacan Ozlem , Ozbek Neslihan
Published: May 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the social media addiction of high school students in terms of some variables such as age, class, type of school, gender and daily average internet usage period. Survey method was used in the study. “Social Media Addiction Scale” (SMAS) developed by Tutgun-Unal and “Personal Information Form” prepared by the researcher were used as data collection tools. The data were obtained from a total of 596 students studying in three high schools with different academic achievement level in Kirsehir in Turkey. No significant difference was found in terms of gender variable. When the total scores of high school students on Social Media Addiction Scale are examined, it is determined that the students have “low level of addiction”. In addition, it was found that there was a significant relationship between high school students' daily average internet usage time and social media addiction.

Published: May 2019

A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) deve ser mantida no centro de debate sobre acesso e saúde universal, por ser a peça fundamental para a estruturação dos sistemas de saúde. O Programa Mais Médicos no Brasil é a mais recente política pública de fortalecimento da APS, com vistas a ampliação do acesso e melhoria da qualidade. A qualidade neste estudo é concebida como a presença e extensão dos atributos essenciais e derivados da APS (acesso, longitudinalidade, integralidade, coordenação, orientação familiar e orientação comunitária). O objetivo do estudo é avaliar a qualidade da APS nos serviços em que estão inseridos os médicos cubanos do Programa Mais Médicos. A qualidade foi medida por meio de entrevistas aos médicos cubanos do Programa Mais Médicos (n=8235) que estavam nos serviços de APS no Brasil nos meses de abril e maio de 2016, utilizando o Primary Care Assessement Tool (PCATool). Os resultados apontam para um alto grau de orientação a APS nos serviços avaliados, considerando os escores Essencial e Geral da APS. O atributo acesso apresentou baixo escore, indicando a necessidade de mudanças organizacionais nos serviços.  Os serviços avaliados por mais de oito mil médicos apresentaram um bom desempenho, podendo inferir que médicos, com formação em medicina de família e comunidade inseridos em equipes de Saúde da Família contribuem para o fortalecimento da Atenção Primária no Brasil.
On merging of resonant periodic orbits 4:3; 3:2 and 2:1 in Sun-Jupiter photo gravitational restricted three-body problem
Authors: Kumar Prashant , Krishan Sharma Ram
Published: May 2019

We explore the merging of resonant periodic orbits in the frame work of planar circular restricted three body problem with the help of PoincarÃ© surface of section. We have studied the effect of solar radiation pressure on 4:3, 3:2 and 2:1 periodic orbits. It is found that radiation pressure helps in merging these orbits (4:3 and 3.2 into 1:1 resonance and 2:1 into 1:1 resonance). At the time of merging these orbits become near-circular. The period and size of these orbits reduce with the increase in radiation pressure.Â Â

Published: May 2019

Este artigo tem como objeto de preocupação a defesa da garantia do direito à educação para as pessoas em situação de aprisionamento e se propõe a discutir práticas de leitura de homens, alunos da Educação de Pessoas Jovens e Adultas, em uma penitenciária masculina. Como referencial teórico e analítico, mobilizam-se estudos do campo do letramento e autores que tematizam o território. O campo de pesquisa é uma escola estadual que funciona na penitenciária, e os dados foram coletados por meio de observação de aulas e entrevistas com 12 sujeitos. Foram identificados diferentes eventos de letramento dos quais os homens participam, mas convive-se na tensão entre a ampliação do acesso à leitura e os cerceamentos próprios da prisão. Nesses eventos, configuram-se práticas de letramento nas quais comparecem múltiplos sentidos, para além da possiblidade de remição de pena pela leitura, e a escola se configura na prisão como importante agência de letramento, ampliando o acesso à leitura desses sujeitos e dos outros homens presos que não frequentam as aulas. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de fortalecimento do direito à educação nas prisões, para garantir-se efetivamente o acesso à escola e à leitura para as pessoas privadas de liberdade.
Immunosuppressive Effect of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Induction of Apoptosis of pre-B Lymphocytes of Bone Marrow
Authors: Novosad Jakub , Fiala Zdeněk , Borská Lenka , Krejsek Jan
Published: May 2019

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, distinguished by genotoxic, hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic and immunotoxic effects. Especially secondary toxicity after bioactivation by microsomal monooxygenases (dependent on cytochromes P450) is characteristic of them. The immunotoxic effect is the result of very global impact on immunological reactivity of an organism and immunosuppression by induction of apoptosis of pre-B lymphocytes represents one of its particular forms. It has been proved that the effect of PAH is caused mostly by the following mechanisms: enzymatic induction by the way of activation of AhR (Aromatic hydrocarbon Receptor); alteration of cellular DNA; development of oxidative stress; increase in the concentration of intercellular calcium and decline of activity of NF-κB (Nuclear Factor – kappa B). Most sensitive to these changes are particularly B-lymphocytic precursors and pre-B lymphocytes. Intensity of entire manifestations is also considerably dependent on the presence and intensity of mechanisms of active or passive resistance of cells.
Antiacetylcholinesterase Activity of Cyclosporine – A Comparison of Single and Repeated Administration and Effect of 7-Methoxytacrine
Authors: Herink Josef , Krejčová Gabriela , Bajgar Jiří
Published: May 2019

The aim of this work is a comparison of single and repeated peroral administration of cyclosporine (CsA) and the interaction of repeated administration of CsA and 7-methoxytacrine (MEOTA) on the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the frontal cortex, hippocampus, septum, and basal ganglia in rats. Both single and repeated administration of CsA diminished the activity of AChE in the frontal cortex, septum and basal ganglia, while the enzyme activity in the hippocampus was diminished only in the case of repeated CsA, as well as repeated CsA + MEOTA administration. Repeated administration of CsA led to a further augmentation of anticholinesterase activity only in the frontal cortex and – in a lesser extent – in the basal ganglia. No augmentation of AChE activity was observed in the hippocampus and septum.
Palmatine plays a role in sedation and hypnosis by increasing 5-hydroxytryptamine
Authors: Du Jianwei , Yu Yanbo , Qiu Liuji , Qiu Mizhen , Zhu Qing
Published: May 2019

Objective of this study was to investigate the sedative and hypnotic effects of palmatine and to observe whether its mechanism is related to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and GABA. The sedative and hypnotic effects of palmatine on mice were observed with mouse autonomic activity test, direct sleep test, pentobarbital sodium in suprathreshold and subthreshold dose sleep test. The content of GABA and 5-HT in brain homogenate was determined by ELISA  method. Mouse brain specimens were observed by immunohistochemistry for 5-HT expression in the nucleus of mouse brain. Palmatine could reduce spontaneous activities of mice, prolong the sleep time of mice induced by pentobarbital sodium in suprathreshold dose and shorten the sleep latency.  And it could increase the number of mice falling asleep induced by pentobarbital sodium in subthreshold dose and the incidence of falling asleep, but with no direct sleep effect. In addition, it enhanced the 5-HT content in brain, but had no effect on GABA content, and had no toxicity to PC12 cells. Palmatine plays a significant role in sedation and hypnosis, which may be associated with the increase of intra-cerebral 5-HT.

Published: May 2019

Concerns about nanoparticles environmental pollution risk have been increased globally due to an increase in the production of nanoparticles in recent years and their use in diverse cases. The purpose of this experiment was to study the alleviation effect of humic acid on nanoparticles toxicity in greenhouse conditions. Thus two separate experiments were conducted at the rosette growing stages of rapeseed in a factorial experiment as a completely randomized design with three replications. The first factor was copper and zinc oxide nanoparticle in five concentrations of 0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 mg.L-1 in each of experiments and the second factor was humic acid in two concentrations of 0 and 100 mg.L-1 in both experiments. The results showed that simultaneously application of humic acid and the nanoparticles resulted in increasing of chlorophyll, protein contents, and antioxidants enzymes activity. For example, the maximum activity of catalase was 170.72 and 296.82 µmol.min-1.mg-1 proteins when CuO nanoparticle was utilized alone and together with humic acid respectively. Also increasing the concentration of CuO nanoparticle reduced protein content from 2.44 to 1.88 (mg.gr-1 Fresh leaf weight), while its range was 2.86 and 2.49 (mg.gr-1 Fresh leaf weight) when adding the humic acid. Transmission electron microscopy images of root tissue confirm the decreasing of nanoparticles entrance to plant cell and tissue by humic acid. In general, application of humic acid alleviated the nanoparticles toxicity, due to the high adsorption capacity that is able to get out the metals from plants or like-hormonal activity probably.

Published: May 2019

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Compound K, an active metabolite of ginsenosides, is reported to exhibit anti-cancer property in various types of human malignancies. The present study investigated the role of compound K on glucose metabolism in NSCLC cells and its underlying mechanism. Our study found that compound K dose-dependently inhibited the cell viability of NSCLC cells. Moreover, administration with compound K decreased glucose uptake and lactate secretion under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Consistently, the expression of key enzymes (HK II, PDK1 and LDHA) involved in glucose metabolism were inhibited in compound K-treated tumor cells. In addition, compound K inhibited the expression of HIF-1Î± and its downstream gene GLUT1. On the contrary, overexpression of HIF-1Î± elevated metabolic reactions and partly attenuated the inhibitory role of compound K on NSCLC cell growth. These results demonstrate that compound K suppresses NSCLC cell growth via HIF-1Î± mediated metabolic alteration, contributing to novel anticancer therapy by targeting glucose metabolism.

Published: May 2019

Thyroid hormones regulate the development and maturation of the brain by maintaining levels of neurotransmitters and their related metabolites. The present work emphasizes the neural dysfunction in the brain caused by hypothyroidism and the potential role of Hordeum vulgare (water soluble barley, (B)) in ameliorating these effects. The study was conducted on euothyroid and hypothyroid adult female rats. The induction of hypothyroidism was conducted by oral-administration of neo-mercazole (5.0 mg.kg-1) daily for thirty days prior the study and terminated at the end of the study. The groups were assigned as; euthyroid (EU) and hypothyroid (H) groups and other two groups were treated with 100 mg.kg-1 water soluble barley; daily for one month and assigned as (EU+B) and (H+B) groups. Compared with EU and EU+B groups, a reduction in fT4, and ERK1/2 levels and elevation in TSH in brain tissue, Moreover, a  significant elevation in 8-OH deoxyguanosine and caspase-3 levels, confirmed with increase percentage DNA-damage in the brain and thyroid tissues in hypothyroid control rats. Furthermore, a significant decrease in all monoamines levels in different brain areas and downregulation of dopamine and 5-hydroxytreptamin receptors transcription, with a significant increase in excitatory amino acids and no significant change in the levels inhibitory amino acids were recorded in control hypothyroid group. Treatment of hypothyroid group with Hordeum vulgare improved the above-mentioned adverse impact by ameliorating the thyroid hormone levels with depleting the DNA-degradation and elaborating the levels of neurotransmitters with related receptors and amino acids in brain areas.  Water soluble Hordeum vulgare as a phytonutrient, is safe and efficient agent in ameliorating the neural dysfunction resulting from hypothyroidism status in adult female rats.

Improved mobility models for charge transport in graphene
Authors: Nastasi G. , Romano V.
Published: May 2019

Charge transport in graphene is crucial for the design of a new generation of nanoscale electron devices. A reasonable model is represented by the semiclassical Boltzmann equations for electrons in the valence and conduction bands. As shown by Romano et al. (J. Comput. Phys., 2015), the discontinuous Galerkin methods are a viable way to tackle the problem of the numerical integration of these equations, even if efficient DSMC with a proper inclusion of the Pauli principle have been also devised. One of the advantages of the solutions obtained with deterministic approach is of course the absence of statistical noise. This fact is crucial for an accurate estimation of the low field mobility as proved by Majorana et al. (J. Math. Industry, 2016) in the case of a unipolar charge transport in a suspended graphene sheet under a constant electric field.

The mobility expressions are essential for the drift-diffusion equations which constitute the most adopted models for charge transport in CAD. Here the analysis by Majorana et al. (J. Math. Industry, 2016) is improved in two ways: by including the charge transport both in the valence and conduction bands; by taking into account the presence of an oxide as substrate for the graphene sheet. New models of mobility are obtained and, in particular, relevant improvements of the low field mobility are achieved.
Backwards time: Causal catachresis and its influence on viewpoint flow
Authors: Virdee Douglass
Published: May 2019

This paper proposes a cognitive linguistic explanation of the unusual narrative construal of time as moving backwards. It shows that backwards time in narrative involves setting up an alternative space in which a second narrative is constructed simultaneously, resulting in a viewpoint hierarchy which postulates four viewpoints on each discourse statement. The paper draws together research on conceptual metaphor, mental spaces theory and viewpoint multiplicity, bringing it to bear on discourse fragments. The majority of these are taken from Martin Amis’sTime’s Arrow(Amis, Martin. 2003 [1991].Time’s Arrow. London: Vintage.) (a logically consistent and linguistically revealing text), but the discussion is contextualised with further examples. It is argued that the causal construal implied by narrative is not limited by our phenomenological experience, as other studies (e.g., Evans, Vyvyan. 2013.Language and time: A cognitive linguistics approach. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.) might suggest, but is instead prompted by conceptual re-interpretation of deictic markers in the discourse. The analysis focuses on causal construal, negation (especially causal catachresis), and alternativity. It shows how linguistic features at the sentential level generate top-down reorganization of both episodic structure and discourse meaning, and how this relies on multiplicity of viewpoint and a conceptual “zooming out” prompting the perception of irony.
Hydrogen diffusion in low alloy steels under cyclic loading
Authors: Cabrini Marina , Lorenzi Sergio , Pastore Tommaso , Pesenti Bucella Diego
Published: May 2019

The aim of this work is to analyze hydrogen transport in a low alloy steel by applying the electrochemical permeation technique to matrices subject to cyclic loading conditions, up to the yield strength and beyond this limit. The results indicate that, with an increase in the applied maximum stress, a decrease in the apparent diffusivity takes place, along with a marked and instantaneous reduction of diffusing hydrogen in the lattice and an increase in hydrogen solubility. An effect on the permeation current was observed, together with a variation of hydrogen diffusion kinetics ascribable to the activation on new trapping sites, with an appreciable effect under cyclic loading already at 55% of the yield limit, which becomes more relevant in the plastic domain.
AI: A Semiotic Perspective
Authors: Matthews Stéphanie Walsh , Danesi Marcel
Published: May 2019

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a powerful new form of inquiry unto human cognition that has obvious implications for semiotic theories, practices, and modeling of mind, yet, as far as can be determined, it has hardly attracted the attention of semioticians in any meaningful analytical way. AI aims to model and thus penetrate mentality in all its forms (perception, cognition, emotion, etc.) and even to build artificial minds that will surpass human intelligence in the near future. This paper takes a look at AI through the lens of semiotic analysis, in the context of current philosophies such as posthumanism and transhumanism, which are based on the assumption that technology will improve the human condition and chart a path to the future progress of the human species. Semiotics must respond to the AI challenge, focusing on how abductive responses to the world generate meaning in the human sense, not in software or algorithms. The AI approach is instructive, but semiotics is much more relevant to the understanding of human cognition, because it studies signs as paths into the brain, not artificial models of that organ. The semiotic agenda can enrich AI by providing the relevant insight into human semiosis that may defy any attempt to model them.
Living is Surviving
Authors: Fernández Eliseo
Published: May 2019

Beyond extrinsic survival (e.g., finding food, avoiding dangers, etc.), intrinsic survival demands continual internal repair and reconstruction to offset the effects of unrelenting internal decay and depletion. The organism must constantly re-produce the conditions of its own existence. The individual’s survival is nevertheless subordinate to that of the species, which is achieved through biological reproduction in the ordinary sense (i.e., assemblage of a working copy of the organism itself, capable of surviving and reproducing in turn.). This article relates these two types of reproduction to others, such as the reproduction of a picture, of a melody, of a movement. I believe all of these reproductive forms are based on a fundamental one, which is the condition of possibility of all forms of replication. This fundamental kind of reproduction resides in the spontaneous reproduction of events under physical causation. On this basis, I advance an interpretation of semiosis as a type of second-order causation: at the level of biosemiotic transactions, semiosis alters habits which are embodied in constraints that in turn determine the extent and direction of physical changes.

The Female Gaze? Postmodernism and the Search for Women in the Digitized Photographic Collections of Swedish Memory Institutions
Authors: Pierce Rachel
Published: May 2019

Both the photograph and digitization are often defined as democratizing forces. But neither exists outside the system of power dynamics that structure art, history, and cultural heritage. This article uses postmodernist theorization of knowledge hierarchies in the archive developed by archival scholars Terry Cook and Joan Schwartz to examine the gendered nature of metadata and data connected to digitized photographic material available on the platforms of the three major Swedish memory institutions: the Royal Library, the Nordic Museum, and the National Archives. Given that digitized photographs require the addition of machine-readable data and metadata to be findable, this information demonstrates the extent to which digitization staffs have consciously thought about the visibility of gender in their online collections. The research questions of this article are thus twofold: (1) to what extend have Swedish memory institutions embraced a postmodern approach to the archive in their photography digitization projects, and (2) has this approach resulted in the greater visibility of women-oriented material? The findings indicate that Swedish institutions have adopted postmodernist thinking about archival flexibility to varying degrees, but none have thought thoroughly about increasing the visibility of woman-oriented material.
Unsicherheit, Ursache paranoider Ängste
Authors: Teising Martin
Published: May 2019

Security and insecurity are described as results of experiences which are made in the early psychic development. The importance of interpersonal aspects during this process is underlined. The concept of the contact-barrier, used by Freud and Bion, is introduced and modified to explain the formation of a more or less secure psychic border between inside and outside. The permeability of a secure border can be regulated. The psychodynamic of paranoia is explained and will be understood as an example of psychopathological insecurity.

Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is an early childhood mental health disease characterized by impaired social interactions and communication abilities, and neurological deficits in the child’s developing brain. This disorder can significantly affect the pediatric patient’s behavior in the dental setting. An uncooperative 9-year-old Mexican girl, who was residing in a temporary home, was referred by a general dental practitioner to the Postgraduate Pediatric Dental Clinic with her caretaker, requesting dental examination and treatment. The patient presented with a previous diagnosis of RAD with intellectual/social disability. With the psychiatrist’s guidance, an exhaustive oral prophylaxis was carried out in the initial appointments, followed by diverse restorative treatments under the continuous application of behavioral management techniques. These restorative procedures included resin restorations and pit-fissure sealants, under local anesthesia and rubber-dam isolation, on the first four permanent molars. The entire treatment was completed in six weeks. The patient and her caretaker were provided with detailed educational and motivational strategies for improving the patient´s oral hygiene, and they also received nutritional advice. For control reviews and the reinforcement of preventive habits, future appointments were carefully scheduled. An interdisciplinary pediatric collaboration between the dentist, nurse, and psychiatrist was fundamental for improving the patient’s oral health and general welfare.

Osteoma is a benign osteogenic neoplasm originating from the continuous proliferation of compact and/or cancellous mature bone. The tumor can be classified as peripheral, central or extra-skeletal regarding location and it commonly seen in the cranio-facial region especially at the skull and paranasal sinuses. The exact etiology of the tumor is still controversial; however, it is considered that infection, trauma, muscle activity contributes the occurrence of the tumor. Due to the slow growing nature of osteoma, it is coincidentally detected on radiographs or when the tumor reaches a large size enough to trigger symptoms and cause facial disfigurement. Although mainly detected in the craniofacial bones, osteomas are rarely located in the jaw bones.  The purpose of this review, is to present the diagnosis and treatment plan of a peripheral osteoma in the mandibular angulus region of an 8-year-old boy together with a review of published cases of peripheral osteomas of mandibular angulus.

Purpose . The purpose of the current research is to investigate tennis players and swimmers’ perceived coaching behaviors for sport with sport age. Material/Methods : A cross-sectional survey method was applied to tennis players and swimmers (Buyukozturk et al., 2012). Participants (nfemales=175; nmales=187) were selected from different tennis (n=122) and swimming (n=240) clubs in Canakkale, Istanbul and Hatay provinces. For data collection, a translated Turkish version (Yapar et al., 2014) of the Coaching Behavior Scale for Sport (CBS-S) (Côté et al., 1999) was used. The CBS-S includes 47 items and 7 sub-dimensions. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistics. The CBS-S sub-dimensions were evaluated with the sport age of tennis players and swimmers (p<.05). Results: According to the One-Way ANOVA, sport age was statistically significant in the sub-divisions of physical training and condition, technical skills, mental preparation, goal setting, competition strategies and personal rapport among tennis players (p<.05). Among swimmers, sport age was significant for only negative personal rapport (p<.05). Conclusions: Tennis players and swimmers’ perceived Coaching Behavior for Sport scores were evaluated as high. Sport age was significant for the Coaching Behavior for Sport sub-dimensions among tennis players.

Published: May 2019

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between the digit ratios and freestyle swimming performance of adolescent well-trained swimmers. Material and Methods: Twenty-two well-trained male swimmers who had at least 3 years of swim training experience were recruited as participants. The participants’ mean age was 14.1±1.5 years, body height was 164.5±11.3 cm, and body mass was 54.4±11.2 kg. Participants’ body height, mass, index finger (2D) and ring finger (4D) lengths were measured and digit ratio (2D:4D) and body mass index of participants was calculated. To determine the swimming performance of participants, the short (50m and 100m) and middle (200m and 400m) distance freestyle time-trial swimming tests were performed on participants. The association between the 2D:4D ratio and the swimming performance were determined by the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results. Our findings indicated that there were strong negative correlations (r > .50) between the mean of BMI and swimming times of adolescent swimmers. ( p > .05 ). However, result of this study revealed no relationship between the digit ratio (2D:4D) and swimming performance in adolescent swimmers. ( p > .05 ). Conclusion. As a result, it may be stated that the 2D:4D ratio of swimmers is not a major parameter in predicting swimming performance for adolescent swimmers.
“Santa Rita de Cássia, rogai por nós”: uma análise da novena de Santa Rita de Cássia no Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Lima Raquel
Published: May 2019

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta reflexões sobre a novena de Santa Rita, realizada em uma Igreja do Rio de Janeiro, em 2010. A novena é analisada em seu aspecto formal e em seu caráter ritual. Considerando que num ritual a forma é conteúdo (Tambiah 1985a), faz-se a descrição e a análise da estrutura formal das orações, bem como das sequências e dos padrões de atos, falas e gestos durante a celebração. O artigo é fruto de uma tese sobre a devoção a esta santa, elaborada a partir de pesquisa de campo, em diálogo com as perspectivas teóricas da antropologia do ritual (Tambiah 1985a; Leach 2000[1966]; Malinowski 1930), dos atos de fala (Austin 1974), da antropologia da devoção e dos estudos de gênero.
Um debate acerca da formação da secularidade católica brasileira a partir das migrações europeias do fim do século XIX
Authors: Decker Norberto
Published: May 2019

Resumo: O artigo procura explorar, a partir do “caso Idalina”, aspectos ideológicos, pastorais e teológicos que impactaram o país na virada do século XIX para o século XX, no contexto das grandes migrações. Se houve, de um lado, uma moderação do papel político da Igreja Católica, por outro, veremos que se desenvolveu um poderoso projeto de formação da sociedade a partir do catolicismo. Avalio de que maneira o Clero adaptou-se ao contexto republicano ao mesmo tempo em que determinados aspectos estruturais da sociedade brasileira foram penetrados pela doutrina da Igreja. Pretendo demonstrar, com isso, que a religião (católica) não ficou reduzida à esfera das crenças individuais, mas, ao contrário, contou com amplo apoio social para que suas ações e visão de mundo fossem implementadas no espaço público.

Published: May 2019

Resumo Neste artigo, procuramos refletir sobre a experiência da interrupção voluntária da gestação das mulheres no Brasil e o modo como essa experiência se relaciona com os direitos sexuais e reprodutivos das mulheres. Para isso, realizamos uma pesquisa no espaço virtual, que foi utilizado como meio documental para a obtenção de relatos de mulheres que passaram pela experiência do aborto. Ao costurar os fragmentos dessas histórias, construímos saberes sobre a experiência de abortar, a qual, segundo a nossa leitura, pode ser dividida em três momentos temporais: momento da decisão pelo aborto; momento após a decisão e momento de cuidado. As mulheres, ao contarem suas histórias reprodutivas, falam de todas as mulheres, do tornar-se mulher no contexto histórico, social e cultural em que vivemos.
