Exploring the Structure of Narcissism: Towards an Integrated Solution
Authors: Crowe Michael L , Lynam Donald , Campbell William Keith , Miller Josh
Published: February 2019

Objective: Despite decades of work on narcissism there remain many active areas of exploration and debate including a clear and consensual description of its underlying components. Understanding narcissism’s factor structure is necessary for precise measurement and investigation of specific psychological and behavioral processes. The aim of the current study was to explore the structure of narcissism by examining it at varying hierarchical levels. Method: Participants recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (N = 591) completed 303 narcissism items encompassing 46 narcissism scales and subscales. Criterion variables measuring the Five Factor Model, self-esteem, aggression, and externalizing behavior were also collected. Results: A series of factor analyses reveal the factor structure of narcissism at a range of specificities. No more than five meaningful factors (i.e., Grandiosity, Neuroticism, Antagonism, Distrustful Self-reliance, Attention-seeking) were identified and the most parsimonious model appears to be a three-factor structure. Narcissism scales that effectively capture each of the identified factors are identified. Factors diverged in their associations with criterion variables. Conclusions: A three-factor model (i.e., Agentic Extraversion, Narcissistic Neuroticism, Self-centered Antagonism) seems to be the most parsimonious conceptualization. Larger factor solutions are discussed, but future research will be necessary to determine the value of these increasingly narrow factors.

Students’ Movement and Political Participation: Research on The Association of Islamic Student In Indonesia
Authors: Wekke Ismail Suardi , Mukhtar Sidratahta
Published: February 2019

Indonesian student movement engages in political participation since Budi Oetomo declared Kebangkitan Nasional (national awakening) in 1908 to nowadays called reformation era. It proves that student activities in Indonesia a part of political process as “an extra parlement”. One of the student movements is Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam (HMI - The Association of Islamic University Students), a student movement shaped by Islamic value system. This paper tries to examine the practices of HMI in order to realize Islam as a way of life and a universal value relating to politics performance. This study was conducted in Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam, data were collected purposively in Jakarta. Interview with Pengurus Besar (National Board), non-participant observation and documentation study were arranged. The research shows that HMI (sixty years involvement) since 1947 is an instrumental part on Indonesian educational and political activities progress in enhancing and developing the potency of youth generation. Furthermore, this paper will give an example of activities that were designed not only to develop the students' skills of knowledge but also to raise awareness of political activities and how this relates to Islamic belief. Through involvement in wide range activity is one way to increase awareness among students of the possibilities to learn about and practice management and leadership skills. After graduation from the universities many students chair political party activities and appoint in various positions within government institutions. As a result, those activities allow them participate in Indonesia development and contribute to national progress that direct by Islamic belief, value and culture.
Does openness to experience matter in love and work? Domain, facet, and developmental evidence from a 24-year longitudinal study
Authors: Schwaba Ted , Robins Richard , Grijalva Emily , Bleidorn Wiebke
Published: February 2019

Objective: Although numerous studies have demonstrated that personality traits predict important love and work outcomes, there is mixed evidence for the relevance of openness to experience to love and work. We sought to better understand the long-term consequences of openness in these two domains.Method: We examined associations between openness and 51 love and work outcomes using data from a 24-year longitudinal study of UC Berkeley students (N=497) followed from the beginning of college into midlife. Using latent growth curve modeling, we examined whether openness levels and change in openness from college to midlife were associated with downstream love and work outcomes Additionally, we tested whether three facets of openness (intellectual interests, aesthetic interests, and unconventionality) had differential associations with outcomes.Results: Although stable levels of openness predicted few work or love outcomes, individual differences in openness change were associated with delayed romantic commitment and some career outcomes. In addition, there were significant differences among facets of openness: intellectual interests were highly associated with educational outcomes, whereas aesthetic interests and unconventionality predicted non-traditional career motivations.Conclusions: We situate these results in past research on real-world consequences of personality traits and discuss implications for theory and future research.
Bayes, Time Perception, and Relativity: The Central Role of Hopelessness.
Authors: Kent Lachlan , Van Doorn George H , Hohwy Jakob , Klein Britt
Published: February 2019

Time judgement and time experience are distinct elements of time perception. It is known that time experience tends to be slow, or dilated, when depressed, but there is less certainty or clarity concerning how depression affects time judgement. Here, we use a Bayesian Prediction Error Minimisation (PEM) framework called ‘distrusting the present’ as an explanatory and predictive model of both aspects of time perception. An interval production task was designed to probe and modulate the relationship between time perception and depression. Results showed that hopelessness, a symptom of severe depression, was associated with the ordering of interval lengths, reduced overall error, and dilated time experience. We propose that ‘distrusting the future’ is accompanied by ‘trusting the present’, leading to the experiences of time dilation when depressed or hopeless. Evidence was also found to support a relative difference model of how hopelessness dilates, and arousal accelerates, the rate of experienced time.
Individual differences in encoded neural representations within cortical speech production network

Published: February 2019

Individual differences in patterns of attention and thought can vary so greatly that two individuals presented with the same information may encode distinct representations. When presented with a stimulus to be recalled later, the information an individual encodes is dependent on the features of the stimulus to which one attends. Past studies have shown that, on the group level, verbal and visual information (e.g., words and pictures) are encoded in disparate regions of the brain. However, this account conflates external and internal representational formats, and it also neglects individual differences in attention. In this study, we examined neural and cognitive patterns associated with individual differences in attention to verbal representations—both external and internal. We found that the encoded neural representation of semantic content (meaningful words and pictures) varied as a function of individual differences in verbal attention, independent of the stimulus presentation format. Individuals who demonstrated an attentive bias toward words showed similar multivariate BOLD activity patterns within an a priori speech production network when encoding object names as when encoding pictures of objects. This result indicates that these individuals use a common process to encode meaningful words and pictures. These effects were not found for non-semantic stimuli (pronounceable non-words and nonsense pictures). Importantly, as expected, no individual differences in neural representation were found in a separate network of regions known to process semantic content independent of format. These results highlight inter-individual divergence and convergence in internal representations of encoded semantic content.
Duration Perception Versus Perception Duration: A Proposed Model for the Consciously Experienced Moment.
Authors: Kent Lachlan
Published: February 2019

Duration perception is not the same as perception duration. Time is an object of perception in its own right and is qualitatively different to exteroceptive or interoceptive perception of concrete objects or sensations originating within the self. In reviewing evidence for and against the experienced moment, White (2017, Psychol. Bull., 143, 735–756) proposed a model of global integration of information dense envelopes of integration. This is a valuable addition to the literature because it supposes that, like Tononi’s (2004, BMC Neurosci., 5, 42) Integrated Information Theory, consciousness is an integral step above perception of objects or the self. Consciousness includes the perception of abstract contents such as time, space, and magnitude, as well as post-perceptual contents drawn from memory. The present review takes this logic a step further and sketches a potential neurobiological pathway through the salience, default mode, and central executive networks that culminates in a candidate model of how duration perception and consciousness arises. Global integration is viewed as a process of Bayesian Prediction Error Minimisation according to a model put forward by Hohwy, Paton and Palmer (2016, Phenomenol. Cogn. Sci., 15, 315–335) called ‘distrusting the present’. The proposed model also expresses global integration as an intermediate stage between perception and memory that spans an approximate one second duration, an analogue of Wittmann’s (2011, Front. Integr. Neurosci., 5, 66) experienced moment.
Reply to Guo et al. and Credé: The Grit Scale Only Measures Perseverance and not Passion, and Its Supposed Subfactors Are Merely Artifactors
Authors: Jachimowicz Jon , Wihler Andreas , Bailey Erica , Galinsky Adam
Published: February 2019

We (1) proposed that evidence linking grit and performance is mixed because the measure used to assess grit—the Grit-S scale (2)—only captures perseverance, but not passion, whereas the definition of grit encompasses both perseverance and passion (3). Our studies found that the combination of perseverance (measured through the whole Grit-S scale) and passion (measured through the Passion Attainment scale) predicted higher performance. In their letters, Guo et al. (4) and Credé (5) suggest that the Grit-S scale should be treated as reflecting two factors. Credé (5) subsequently advocates for and Guo et al. (4) conducts separate analyses for each supposed sub-facet of the Grit-S scale (called “perseverance of effort” and “consistency of interests”). In this response, we provide additional evidence that the Grit-S scale is unidimensional. That is, there is no validity to the Guo et al. (4) and Credé (5) letters’ claim that the Grit-S scale is composed of two sub-factors. As a result, the analyses advocated by both letters are inappropriate. Instead, the Grit-S scale should be treated as unidimensional, which is how we conducted our original analyses (1).

Learning about hypothesis evaluation using the Bayes factor could enhance psychologicalresearch. In contrast to null-hypothesis significance testing: it renders the evidence in favorof each of the hypotheses under consideration (it can be used to quantify support for thenull-hypothesis) instead of a dichotomous reject/do-not-reject decision; it canstraightforwardly be used for the evaluation of multiple hypotheses without having tobother about the proper manner to account for multiple testing; and, it allows continuousre-evaluation of hypotheses after additional data have been collected (Bayesian updating).This tutorial addresses researchers considering to evaluate their hypotheses by meansof the Bayes factor. The focus is completely applied and each topic discussed is illustratedusing Bayes factors for the evaluation of hypotheses in the context of an ANOVA model,obtained using the R package bain. Readers can execute all the analyses presented whilereading this tutorial if they download bain and the R-codes used. It will be elaborated in acompletely non-technical manner: what the Bayes factor is, how it can be obtained, howBayes factors should be interpreted, and what can be done with Bayes factors. Afterreading this tutorial and executing the associated code, researchers will be able to use theirown data for the evaluation of hypotheses by means of the Bayes factor, not only in thecontext of ANOVA models, but also in the context of other statistical models.
Is less readable liked better? The case of font readability in poetry appreciation
Authors: Gao Xin , Dera Jeroen , Nijhof Annabel , Willems Roel
Published: February 2019

Previous research shows conflicting findings for the effect of font readability on comprehension and memory for language. It has been found that - perhaps counterintuitively – a hard to read font can be beneficial for language comprehension, especially for more difficult language. Here we test how font readability influences the subjective experience of poetry reading. In three experiments we tested the influence of poem difficulty and font readability on the subjective experience of poems. We specifically predicted that font readability would have opposite effects on the subjective experience of easy versus difficult poems. Participants read poems which could be more or less difficult in terms of conceptual or structural aspects, and which were presented in a font that was either easy or more difficult to read. Participants read existing poems and subsequently rated their subjective experience (overall liking, perceived flow of the poem, perceived topic clarity, and perceived structure). In line with previous literature we observed a Poem Difficulty x Font Readability interaction effect for subjective measures of poetry reading. We found that participants rated easy poems as less nice when they were presented in a hard to read font, as compared to when presented in an easy to read font. Despite the presence of the interaction effect, we did not observe the predicted opposite effect for more difficult poems. We conclude that font readability can influence reading of easy and more difficult poems differentially, with strongest effects for easy poems.

Authors: Timilsina Bhusan Raj , Shah Rajiv , KC Sudeep Raj , Upadhyay Hari Prasad , Lamsal Sunita , Belbase Narayan , Kumar Sujit
Published: February 2019

INTRODUCTION: Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical condition presented to the emergency department. Clinical scoring systems such as the Alvarado and modified
Alvarado scoring system were developed with the goal of reducing the negative appendectomy rate to 5%–10%. In the other hand the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha Appendicitis (RIPASA) scoring system was established in 2008 specifically for Asian population. The aim of this study was to compare the modified Alvarado with the RIPASA scoring system in the Nepalese population.
METHODS: This study included 125 patients who had undergone appendectomies
from March of 2017 to January 2018. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV),
negative predictive value (NPV), diagnostic accuracy, predicted negative appendectomy and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the modified Alvarado and RIPASA scoring systems were derived using SPSS statistical software.
RESULTS: A total of 125 patients were included in this study according to our criteria. The cut-off threshold point of the modified Alvarado score was set at 7.0, which yielded a sensitivity of 68.64% and a specificity of 28.57%. The PPV was 95% and the NPV was 5.12%. The cut-off threshold point of the RIPASA score was set at 7.5, which yielded 88.13% sensitivity and 28.57% specificity. The PPV was 95.41% and the NPV was 12.5%.
CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, the RIPASA score is a simple scoring system with better sensitivity and specificity similar to the modified Alvarado scoring system.
KEYWORDS: Acute appendicitis, Modified Alvarado Score, RIPASA score.

Authors: Çelen Serap
Published: February 2019

Centrifugal pumps play an important role in the fluid engineering industry due to their high energy conversion capabilities. It is important to understand form to achieve a successful pump design. In the scope of this research paper, a novel approach to the performance evaluation of a centrifugal pump was used. A precise design of the pump components should be considered a key factor for increasing the pressure-induced performance. The aim of this investigation is to produce an innovative pump and to compare its actual performance with the results derived from numerical analysis. A novel pump was designed, analyzed, manufactured and then tested. Test results indicate that the numerical efficiency was close to 91.72 vol.-% of the virtual experimental efficiency thanks to our precision approach. The operational parameters of the pump are illustrated, and crucial points emphasized to facilitate an understanding of the decision-making process. This novel method may be beneficial for those looking for alternative pump designs.

Published: February 2019

The thermal degradation behavior of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) blends was investigated using potentiometric measurements of the released HCl gas during the degradation process, estimating the degree of discoloration of the degraded samples and measuring the thermal stability (Ts) values. The influence of the PVP percentage in the blend and, moreover, of the addition of commercial dibasic lead carbonate stabilizer to the blend was studied with regard to thermal stability. It turned out that the dehydrochlorination rate of the blend was promoted by increasing the PVP concentration in the blend.

Enforcement of student-centered approach in the Ukrainian legislation on higher education
Authors: Bakhrushyn V.
Published: February 2019

The focus on the development of student-centered learning and teaching in higher education has increased considerably in the course of the recent years. This has been reflected in many documents of the European Higher Education Area and become an impetus for the establishment of relevant norms in Ukrainian legislation. The development of the concept of educational leadership simultaneously took place, which is seen as the unity of leadership in education, leadership for education and leadership of education (S. Kalashnikova, 2012). Student-centered approach is one of the important bases for forming leadership potential both for universities and the higher education system as a whole, as well as for future specialists who will work in a wide range of fields after their graduation.

The evolution of the norms of Ukrainian legislation for the rights of students and student self-government during the last 30 years is analyzed in the article. The first steps in this direction are shown to be made at the turn of the 1980-1990s. However, the movement towards strengthening the academic freedoms of students, their right to choose a part of the content of education, self-government, participation in governance and decision-making process was inconsistent and contradictory. Many of the norms adopted in the early 1990s have not been implemented yet or only they are embedded in the appropriate institutions of higher education. Many of these norms are still negatively perceived by a significant part of Ukrainian educators who do not understand the importance of changing the attitude towards students to improve their success and competitiveness as a system of higher education in Ukraine and particular universities as well as the entire state. Several years ago, the Soviet norms that included the participation of the Komsomol organizations in solving student issues remained valid, and certain Soviet norms remained to be in force today. There is a greater number of such norms in the internal normative documents of institutions of higher education. Meanwhile, the European Higher Education Area continues to develop the methodology and tools of the student-centered approach, to expand the rights and opportunities for students. This negatively affects the competitiveness of Ukrainian higher education.
Dollars, Arms, Words: Barack Obama and the Dilemmas of American Hegemony
Authors: Pero Mario Del
Published: February 2019

This article discusses the foreign policy of Barack Obama and the basic elements and contours of what can be described as a putative “Obama Doctrine”. It argues that, while never precisely stated and outlined, this doctrine constituted an attempt to come to terms with the final manifestation of some ingrained and, after the 2008 global economic crisis, inescapable contradictions and flaws of the model of hegemony the United States had built and projected since the 1970s. To address this novel situation, and the multiple arcs of crisis the U.S. was facing, a radical strategic, diplomatic and discursive shift was needed. Cognisant of it, Obama pursued this change, although not always consistently or successfully, achieving results that appear all the more remarkable when compared with the foreign policies of his predecessor and, after almost two years in office, his successor.

Published: February 2019

Data on mining and consumption of coking coals quoted, including China, Australia, Russia, USA and India. It was shown, that China, taking the first place in the world on those indices, keeps a policy of coals mining and consumption cutting. The China authorities set a task to cut coal mining by 500 mt within 3–5 years beginning from 2016, by mines closing and reducing of working days number at coal-mining plants (from 330 down to 276 a year). At Ukraine in 2017 only 5.2 mt of coking coals were mined, relating to the 2000 level it constitutes only 18.8%. A cardinal reduction of coking coals production from 18.9 mt in 2000 down to 2.4 mt in 2017 observed in Germany. The world consumption of coking coals from 2000 through 2017 increased more than two-folds. However, beginning from 2014, a decreasing trend observed. China is the leader in coking coals consumption. The consumption of them increased in 2017 comparing with 2000 more than five-folds. South Korea takes the fifth place by coking coals consumption. The volume of its consumption increased from 2000 through 2017 by factor 1.9. Ukraine, USA and Germany decreased consumption of coking coals within the period under consideration by 44.3, 38.7 and 40.1% correspondently. The coal world export by end of 2017 comparing with 2000 increased by factor 1.7. By results of 2017, Australia exported 62% of the world coking coal trade volume. USA are the second big exporter of coking coals. The export of coals from the USA in 2017 increased comparing with 2000 by 68%.

Application of coke dry quenching technology provides saving of energy resources, decreasing of environment pollution and increase of metallurgical coke quality. Despite of advantages of coke dry quenching facilities, an additional quantity of circulating gas is generated because of quenching technology peculiarities. This additional circulating gas must be released out of the cooling agent circuit resulting in environment pollution. Existing and proposed methods of reduction of emissions into atmosphere of excess circulating gas considered. It was shown, that utilization of the excess circulating gas as a fuel is the most effective solution of the considered problem. The solution comprise stabilization and support of combustible components composition in the circulating gas at the level of approved indices, joining of excess gas flows out of the dry quenching facility chambers, it enrichment by some amount of high calorie gas (coke or natural) and supply to gas uses. This technical solution was first realized by ArcelorMittal at the coke plant of the steel-works after E. Zendzimir in Krakov, Poland. In 2017 at the EVRAZ NTMK coke plant a project of the dry coke quenching facility modification was realized, comprising utilization of excess circulating gas, which has a considerable technical difference comparing with ArcelorMittal project. According to technology flowsheet, the excess circulating gas is collected  out of operating chambers into a collector, cleaned of dust in a bag filter, chilled, enriched by a high calorie gas and delivered into the gas pipe of BF gas for further utilization as a fuel. To increase efficiency of the technology and to reduce the natural gas consumption for calorie content of enriched gas stabilization and supply it into the BF gas pipe line, the CO and H2 content in the circulating gas of the coke dry quenching facility is kept at the level of 12–15 and 4–5 % correspondently. Implementation of the technical modification of the coke dry quenching facility with elimination of harmful substances emissions within the excess circulating gas provided decrease of harmful substances emissions at JSC EVRAZ NTMK – 4 kg per ton of steel.

This condition is difficult to realize with bell-less charging device of chute type. To reveal rational regimes of burden components charging into the blast furnace mouth space providing most uniform inflow of the burden components by mass, a physical simulation was realized at a laboratory facility of compact bell-less charging device of chute type, manufactured in scale 1:5 relating the linear dimensions of the PAO MMK blast furnaces Nos 2, 4 and 6 charging devices. Succession the burden components charging was being changed by pellets and additional materials supply regimes into the cilo of the bell-less charging device. As a result of the simulation dependences of the burden rational distribution on the priority and uniformity of iron ore materials inflow from the burden cilo at pellets content in them from 10 till 90% were determined. The burden components rational charging regimes were revealed depending on the heat conditions. At blast furnace running with scull it is reasonable to charge the pellets into the lower part of the bell-less charging device cilo. This will provide their inflow into the nearwall area of the furnace mouth, that enables to eliminate the scull during the furnace running. At the pellets share of 50% of the burden iron ore part, by placing of them in the bell-less charging device cilo lower part and the chure moving from periphery to center, the peripherial zone of the furnace mouth will be formed from 82% of pellets and 18% of sinter. New regimes of iron ore materials elaborated, which enable to improve uniformity of their circumference distribution. The highest value of iron ore materials inflow mass uniformity index was registered at the following sequence of the burden components charging into the bell-less charging device cilo: 25% of sinter at the burden cilo bottom, next pellets and additional materials, next charging of the 75% left sinter. At the pellets content of 30–38% of iron ore raw materials, the distribution uniformity index value exceeded 0.75.

Rollers with box passes are widely used in long products manufacturing, that can be explained by better gripping ability and a high drawing out coefficient. However, along with the stated advantages there are considerable drawbacks – formation of an erosion net at a pass bottom and side fractures at side outlets. Study of main technological parameters of rolling process influence on wear, its value and character of distribution along a pass perimeter. Possibilities shown to decrease or redistribute the wear aimed at an increase of rollers service life. Results of reasons study of thermocyclic fractures formation at side outlets of box passes presented. By application of simulation three digital experiments were made: a base one – according to parameters of existing technological process and two being proposed, in which a pass outlet geometry was varied, estimated its influence on the side surface heating, contact pressure and contact with strip. Based on the experiments simulation results analysis the following was determined: formation of side fractures takes place as a result of uneven temperature expansion of side surface and pass bottom; considerably longer contact of box pass outlets results in critical expanding thermal stresses at its surface. Besides, it was determined, that by a pass outlet geometry changing it is possible to control the dynamic of thermal expanding of a pass surface and considerably decrease it.

Superatoms, novel entities being studied extensively in recent years, can be stabilized by mixing with transition metal atoms. The aim of this paper is to present some recent theoretical results on the application of quantum calculations for examining the atomic clusters NaxV (x=1-12) made from the mixing of Nax superatoms with vanadium transition metal atom. Optimized structures of NaxV, NaxV+ and NaxV- are determined by using the TPSSTPSS / DZVP DFT calculations. Characteristics of optimized structures, as point group symmetry, chemical hardness (η), absolute electronegativity (χ), electrophilicity index (ω), fragmentation energy (Ef), secondary energy (∆2E), are calculated. The obtained results point out that among different structures of an atomic cluster, the more negative total energy the more stable structure and the Na8V cluster is the most stable in NaxV (x=1-12) clusters.

Published: February 2019

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology widely adopted for automatic translation of hardcopy text to editable text. The language dependence of the technology makes it far less developed for less popular languages like Myanmar language. Also, the uniqueness and complexity of the Myanmar text system such as touching and complex characters have continued to pose serious challenges to several OCR investigators. In this paper, we propose a new technique to development Myanmar OCR system. Our technique implement skew angle detection and free skew, noisy border correction, extra page elimination, line segmentation from scanned images of Myanmar text. Performance of the proposed method is tested with 430 documents comprising different printed and handwritten Myanmar text of various fonts, sizes, multi-column, tables, stamps or photos, background effects. Our method give an accuracy of 100% for line segmentation and 99.92% for skew angle detection and free skew. The ability of our method to effectively implement global and local skew angle detection, free skew and line segmentation in different handwritten and digital text images of the Myanmar character set with high accuracies confirms the robustness of the technique, its reliability and its suitability for application in many other related languages.

Theoretical approaches to the definitions of “legal status”, “administrative and legal status” have been established. The elements of administrative and legal status of the subject counteracting offense in the sphere of entrepreneurial activity have been determined and analyzed. The main powers of the state agencies that accomplish control activity over the subjects of entrepreneurial activity have been characterized. The notion of a subject of an offense in the sphere of entrepreneurship has been defined: a system of state and non-state agencies, public organizations, social groups and citizens whose activities are focused on eliminating the causes and conditions that give rise to and provoke offenses in the sphere of economic commercial activity (entrepreneurship), preventing these offenses at different stages of incorrect behavior of the participants of relations in the field of entrepreneurship, as well as bringing them to legal liability. Besides, the above subjects have been systematized in this study and their range has been determined. The main ones have been highlighted: the President of Ukraine, Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine; local governments; Ministry of Finance of Ukraine; Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine; State Fiscal Service and its structural units (except customs control at the border); State Inspectorate of Ukraine; National Bank of Ukraine; revenue and fees authorities of Ukraine. The author has defined a special group of subjects, those who have administrative and jurisdictional powers.
Against alienation treatment, we stand for!

Who would be our most contemporary monsters? Who are the outcasts? Who are the ones that (or whom) we don’t want to speak about? The Brazilian society still has places where the established concept of human by Human Rights Standards seems not to be reaching. The so-called “legal asylums” or “judiciary asylums” are places that aggregate not only the “lunatics” but also the ones with mental disorders that additionally committed a crime. As a consequence, of these two main attributes, such persons are not remembered or considered worthy to be advocated, being under a moral judgment. With this in mind, this paper is focused on constructing a critical engagement with the Brazilian Mental Health issue, under the analysis of “legal asylums” and it aims to contribute to the epistemological aspect of the issue. In addition, it aims to bring up a mix of theoretical notions and paradigms about the Brazilian mental health struggle, as well as its political historical background both of the health professionals and patients social movements. Mental Health Social Movements can be understood as an individual and institutional response to stop producing and reproducing inequalities and discrimination, and a path towards a more inclusive society.
Concepções progressistas e culturalistas do espaço social: a dimensão dos projetos e dos planos para as cidades brasileiras da primeira metade do século XX
Authors: Toledo Rodrigo Alberto
Published: February 2019

O objetivo desse artigo é mapear as concepções urbanísticas que, a partir do final do século XIX, recriaram o modelo de intervenção na malha urbana, principalmente, das cidades industriais. O modelo de cidade e de intervenção que se consolida no período que se estende do final do século XIX até meados do século XX, nas aqui denominadas correntes progressista e culturalista, serviu de referência para os pensadores urbanísticos para dar resposta à problemática urbana, fruto, no caso brasileiro, de um acelerado desenvolvimento propulsado pela ampliação da presença da indústria nesses contextos. Nesses termos, a necessidade de empoderamento das instituições públicas municipais, que pudessem criar e aplicar normas de ocupação lícita do solo é captada por um conjunto de urbanistas brasileiros, sendo que um dos expoentes no estado de São Paulo será Luiz Ignácio Romeiro de Anhaia Mello, aqui denominado como Anhaia Mello, que passou a (re)significar os modelos e propostas de cidade à realidade brasileira. O pensamento reflexivo sobre a problemática urbana, desenvolvido por Anhaia Mello, é o produto amalgamado das propostas elaboradas por urbanistas localizados por Choay (2013) nas correntes progressista e culturalista de cidade.
