Auctoritas, non veritas, facit legem!
Authors: Schotte Dietrich
Published: May 2017

In the last few years it has become fashionable to 'rethink' the heritage of the western secularist modernity and claim that it is, basically, Christian. One possibility of proving this thesis is to show that the founding fathers of secularism themselves argued from an - at least implicitly - Christian point of view, above all when setting up the normative standards for politics. One such deliberately secular founding father is Thomas Hobbes, and contrary to Christian or religious interpretations of his political philosophy two things can be shown: firstly his political philosophy doesn't depend upon religion or religious commitments and, furthermore, the underlying systematic arguments in favour of a political theology are not plausible, let alone effective.
Willensfreiheit
Authors: Keil Geert
Published: May 2017

The article is a reply to three reviews of my book
Willensfreiheit
(Berlin/New York 2007) which were published in a previous issue of this journal. In the book, I develop a libertarian account of free will that invokes neither uncaused events nor mind-body dualism nor agent causality. Against Bettina Walde's criticism, I argue that a well-balanced libertarianism can evade the luck objection and that it should not be portrayed as positing tiny causal gaps in an otherwise deterministic world. Against Marcus Willaschek's Moorean compatibilism, I argue that our ordinary notion of agency commits us to genuine two-way abilities, i. e. to abilities to do otherwise given the same past and laws of nature. Against Christoph Jäger's defence of van Inwagen's consequence argument, I insist that this argument for incompatibilism is seriously flawed and that libertarians are well-advised not to base their position upon it.
Pachydermoperiostosis: a rare mimicker of acromegaly
Authors: Abdullah Noor Rafhati Adyani , Jason Wong Lok Chin , Nasruddin Azraai Bahari
Published: May 2017

Pachydermoperiostosis is a very rare osteoarthrodermopathic disorder whose clinical and radiographic presentations may mimic those of acromegaly. In the evaluation of patients with acromegaloid appearances, pachydermoperiostosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis. In this article, we report a 17-year-old boy who presented with 2-year history of acral enlargement and facial appearance changes associated with joint pain and excessive sweating. He had been investigated extensively for acromegaly, and the final diagnosis was pachydermoperiostosis.

Learning points

There is a broad range of differential diagnosis for acromegaloid features such as acromegaly, pseudoacromegaly with severe insulin resistance, Marfan’s syndrome, McCune–Albright and a rare condition called pachydermoperiostosis.

Once a patient is suspected to have acromegaly, the first step is biochemical testing to confirm the clinical diagnosis, followed by radiologic testing to determine the cause of the excess growth hormone (GH) secretion. The cause is a somatotroph adenoma of the pituitary in over 95 percent of cases.

The first step is measurement of a serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1). A normal serum IGF1 concentration is strong evidence that the patient does not have acromegaly.

If the serum IGF1 concentration is high (or equivocal), serum GH should be measured after oral glucose administration. Inadequate suppression of GH after a glucose load confirms the diagnosis of acromegaly.

Once the presence of excess GH secretion is confirmed, the next step is pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Atypical presentation warrants revision of the diagnosis. This patient presented with clubbing with no gigantism, which is expected in adolescent acromegalics as the growth spurt and epiphyseal plate closure have not taken place yet.
Diagnóstico de la infección por el virus zika
Authors: Cabezas César , García Paquita
Published: May 2017

El virus del zika es un virus ARN que puede tener como complicaciones de su infección al síndrome congénito y síndrome de Guillain Barré. Como hay otros arbovirus que cursan con fiebre y rash, es importante el enfoque sindrómico para orientar las pruebas y el diagnóstico de laboratorio. Actualmente están disponibles el RT-PCR en tiempo real y el aislamiento viral, como estándares para el diagnóstico confirmatorio en los primeros días de la infección. Existen pruebas serológicas (ELISA, NP) para determinar anticuerpos IgM, pero hay el inconveniente de las reacciones cruzadas con otros flavivirus. Sin embargo, pueden utilizarse en ciertas circunstancias en la que no es posible contar con RT-PCR y hacer una interpretación adecuada.
On Polish Fantastic Literature for Young People and Its Therapeutic Potential
Authors: Borowski Dominik
Published: May 2017

The objective of this article is to provide an overview of the therapeutic potential of fantastic literature for young people on the example of the series of novels by Rafał Kosik. The paper consists of three parts. The first part presents the definition of fantastic literature with reference to the concepts introduced by Tzvetan Todorov, Roger Caillois, Eric Rabkin and dictionary entries. Then the therapeutic function of literature is discussed by citing psychological theses on the importance of narrative in human life, as well as Roman Ingarden’s theory of the aesthetic experience. This provides the basis for reflection on bibliotherapy and the use of fantastic literature within its framework. The third part of the article presents the concept of the series of novels about Felix, Net and Nika, referring to the opinions of critics and literary scholars. Subsequently the selected fragments of the novels are discussed, demonstrating their therapeutic potential.

La catedra de la Paz, la apuesta pionera en la consolidación del Postconflicto
Authors: Almanza Iglesias Maury , Zamora Polo Tatiana Lucía , Maya Villazón Osnaider
Published: May 2017

Históricamente, Colombia se ha visto enmarcada en situaciones de permanente violencia, que a lo largo de los años ha dejado cifras incalculables de víctimas como consecuencia del conflicto armado interno y de la ausencia del Estado en esta materia. Ello a su vez, ha incidido en la lenta construcción de una cultura de paz en el país, situación que se aleja de los estándares mundiales, ya que en Colombia se dio una respuesta tardía en la creación de políticas públicas para la construcciónde paz, pues solo después de los fallidos intentos en búsqueda del ejercicio de este derecho, fue que jurisprudencialmente se iniciaron pequeños reconocimientos en esta línea, que hoy dejan como producto tangible la Ley de Víctimas, pilar base para la construcción de una cultura de paz.De tal manera, que en aras de la consolidación del postconflicto en el marco de unos acuerdos entre Gobierno y grupos insurgentes, se busca la educación y transformación para la paz como base sólida para asumir la era del postconflicto.
Cuestionar la libertad como fundamento de la responsabilidad: crítica a la herencia humanista del Derecho Penal
Authors: Beltrán Castellanos Andrés Santiago
Published: May 2017

El andamiaje conceptual y procedimental del Derecho Penal se ha construido sobre la base de un esencialismo; el hombre es libre y por tanto es responsable de sus acciones. Problematizar dicha afirmación a través de una revisión de la emergencia de los enunciados que validaron entender aeste como un ser dotado de discernimiento utilizando algunas críticas de Michel Foucault al Humanismo, permite cuestionar saberes y prácticas hegemónicos del Derecho como primer estadio de un ejercicio crítico imprescindible al interior de este campo disciplinar.
Markraumbolzung bei Metakarpal- und Metatarsalfrakturen des Hundes
Authors: Matis Ulrike , Kornmayer Matthias
Published: May 2017

Gegenstand: Ziel dieser Studie war, detaillierte Informationen über die Markraumbolzung von Metakarpal(Mc)- und Metatarsal(Mt)-Frakturen des Hundes anhand einer Fallserie zu präsentieren. Material und Methoden: Die Auswertung umfasste die Befunde von 13 Hunden, deren Rekonvaleszenz mindestens 5 Monate verfolgt und sowohl klinisch als auch röntgenologisch dokumentiert werden konnte. Analysiert wurden die Anzahl der frakturierten bzw. operativ versorgten Mc-/Mt-Strahlen, das Repositionsergebnis sowie die Lage und Dimension der Implantate in Relation zur Knochenlänge. Komplikationen im Heilungsverlauf und das Endergebnis wurden mit der Fraktur und dem Osteosyntheseverfahren korreliert. Ergebnisse: Die Hunde (Durchschnittsalter 2,9 Jahre, Durchschnittsgewicht 9,9 kg) hatten überwiegend geschlossene Brüche von drei oder vier Strahlen. Mit Ausnahme von fünf Frakturen handelte es sich um glatte Querbrüche und alle Frakturen betrafen den Schaft. Der Durchmesser der implantierten Kirschner-Bohrdrähte reichte von 0,8 mm bis 2,0 mm, die Bohrdrahtlänge betrug 39–91% der Knochenlänge. Abgesehen von den offenen Metatarsalfrakturen eines Hundes, bei denen a priori keine Indikation für eine Markraumosteosynthese bestand, konnte das Repositionsergebnis der operativ versorgten Knochen bei unveränderter Implantatlage aufrechterhalten werden. Bei diesem Hund mit falscher Indikationsstellung war die Osteosynthese überdies fehlerhaft ausgeführt worden: Die Bohrdrähte hatten die Kortikalis der proximalen Fragmente perforiert, wodurch die Implantate wanderten, die Frakturen in Fehlstellung konsolidierten und der Patient dauerhaft lahmte. Bei den anderen Hunden heilten die Frakturen ohne funktionelle Einschränkung, obgleich in sieben von 13 Fällen röntgenologisch Synostosen nachweisbar waren. Klinische Relevanz: Mit der Einschränkung einer kleinen Fallzahl erwies sich die Markraumbolzung bei Metakarpal- und Metatarsalfrakturen des Hundes in unserer Studie als effektiv. In zukünftigen Untersuchungen sollte die für die Heilung erforderliche Dauer der postoperativen Verbandsbehandlung geklärt werden.
PRESENTATION OF THE RAIL FREIGHT MARKET’S CONCENTRATION WITH RESPECT TO THE GAS MARKET WITH THE HELP OF THE HERFINDAL-HIRSCHMAN INDEX
Authors: Farkas B.
Published: May 2017

Purpose. To demonstrate the current level of concentration on the rail freight market and to find a feasible long-term way for its expansion and progress by exploring and comparing it to another industrial branch well ahead on the road of concentration. Methodology. To identify an industrial branch being at an appropriate level of concentration, therefore being suitable for the purpose. To adapt the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) for measuring the level of concentration of the market. Finally, to make a series of comparisons between the levels of concentrations of the two markets. Findings. In terms of concentration of the market, the liberalisation was more successful in the gas sector than in the rail freight sector, in Hungary. Therefore, the Hungarian gas sector is to be abandoned for comparison purposes and another, more suitable should be picked. Figures in the charts and findings of the application of the HH Index demonstrate that the liberalisation process in the energetics sector in Estonia has been most efficient. The methods of the Estonian process may be applicable for reducing the level of concentration on the rail freight market in Hungary. Originality. Novelty as far as the application of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index for the purposes of the investigation is concerned. An innovative approach to analyse the structure of the rail freight market by a test, which has been unique so far in Hungary. Practical value. By using a mathematical method, a market suitable for testing can be selected. The results of the analyses can be adopted for the purposes of the rail freight market.
RIGIDITY OF INTERMEDIATE FASTENING SCREWS AND SPIKES FOR WOODEN SLEEPERS UNDER THE ACTION OF HORIZONTAL LATERAL FORCES
Authors: Darenskiy O. M. , Tuley Yu. L. , Potapov D. O. , Malishevskaya A. S.
Published: May 2017

Purpose. Despite the steady increase in the length of sections of continuous welded rail on concrete sleepers, wooden railway sleepers, as one of the options of under-rail bearings, are still operated on a sufficiently large number of areas, in particular, remain uncontested in the curve of up to 350m radius, as well as on the main ways of subways. The main types of fasteners in the most common types of intermediate rail fastenings for wooden sleepers are track screws and spikes. Since the «wheel-rail» system contact peculiarities existing in track curved sections have a significant impact on the processes of interaction between the railway track and rolling stock, it is necessary in this work to determine the rigidity of the track screws and spikes, which are directly involved in the formation of spatial rigidity of the intermediate rail fastening nodes under the influence of horizontal transverse forces. Methodology. The study of the track screw and spike rigidity was conducted experimentally for the two types of intermediate rail fastenings – D0 and «Metro». To carry out experimental tests, 10 test sites were selected on the roads of the regional branch of «Southern Railway» of «Ukrzaliznytsia», and 8 – in the main routes of KP «Kharkiv Metro». Each of the test sites was in approximately the same operating conditions, but had different values of passed tonnage. Findings. The values of the track screw and spike rigidity were obtained. Originality. The authors first obtained the experimental data on variation in rigidity of track screw and spike, depending on the useful life for the main railways and subway routes. This allows calculation of the horizontal shear forces in track curved sections (particularly in curves of up to 350 m radius), as well as the forecast evaluation of their level change during operation. Practical value. Based on the experimental data, it was found that variation in rigidity of track screw and spike depending on the lifetime is nonlinear. These experiments allow a more rational approach to the issue of determining the optimal design of the intermediate rail fasteners, based on the specific operating conditions, and may also contribute to the development of measures to improve the reliability of the components of intermediate rail fastenings for wooden sleepers.
ANALYSIS OF INFLUENCE OF DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS OF INCLINED BUCKET ELEVATOR ON THE POWER OF ITS DRIVE
Authors: Bohomaz V. M. , Borenko M. V. , Patsanovskyi S. V. , Tkachov O. O.
Published: May 2017

Purpose.One of the main elements of the inclined belt bucket elevators is their drive. To determine the drive power, it is necessary to carry out calculations according to standard methods, which are described in the modern literature. The basic design parameters are the productivity, lifting height, type and properties of the transported material, the angle of inclination. It is necessary to build a parametric dependence of the driving power of the elevator on its design parameters, which takes into account the standard sizes and types of buckets and belts. Methodology. Using the methodology of traction calculation of inclined belt bucket elevator there were built parametric dependences of efforts in specific points of the route of the elevator, as well as the parametric dependences of the drive power of high-speed elevators with deep and shallow buckets on their design parameters and characteristics. Findings. On the basis of constructed parametric dependencies, it was found that the function of changing the value of the elevator’s power from design capacity (at fixed lifting height, type of cargo, belt speed) is piecewise constant and monotonically increasing. It was built a graphical representation of elevator drive power on the angle of its inclination within acceptable limits of change. The resulting relationship is non-linear and monotonically decreasing. In general terms the intervals of project performance values, which provide a constant value of drive power of inclined elevator were defined. As an example of the obtained results it was observed the process of dependence construction of the drive power on design capacity and inclination angle of the elevator for transporting the fine coal. Originality. For the first time there were constructed the parametric dependences of drive power of inclined bucket elevator on its design parameters that take into account the standard sizes and types of buckets and belts. Practical value. Using the constructed dependencies enables relatively quick determination of the approximate value of the drive power of high-speed inclined elevators with deep and shallow buckets at the design stage and high-quality selection of its basic elements in the design of specific characteristics: type of cargo, productivity, lifting height, angle of inclination.
Literatura latino-americana e representatividade cultural: Uma leitura dos ensaios de Héctor Libertella e Jorge Volpi
Authors: OLMOS Ana Cecilia
Published: May 2017

RESUMO Os escritores de ficção deslocam-se para o ensaio na busca de uma forma discursiva que permita assumir uma enunciação subjetiva despojada das máscaras do narrador e da personagem. Essa posição favorece a indagação de suas práticas literárias, das singularidades poéticas que as definem, das tradições nas quais se reconhecem, das intervenções na cena pública que assumem. O ensaio, portanto, apresenta-se como um espaço discursivo privilegiado para levar adiante o debate em torno dos sentidos que definiriam a literatura latino-americana na cartografia ocidental das últimas décadas. Esse trabalho propõe indagar os modos que assume o ensaio dos escritores como estratégia discursiva que, dos anos 1970 até hoje, operou criticamente na desarticulação de uma noção ideologizada da literatura latino-americana que a sujeitava a funções de representatividade cultural. Serão abordados em particular ensaios do argentino Héctor Libertella e do mexicano Jorge Volpi.
Sobre fantasmas e homens. Passado e exílio em Onetti
Authors: PINTO JÚLIO PIMENTEL
Published: May 2017

RESUMO O texto analisa a relação entre história e ficção na obra do escritor uruguaio Juan Carlos Onetti (1909-1994) a partir de dois temas que são recorrentes em sua obra: o passado e o exílio. Para tanto, recorre a dois contos, distantes quase vinte anos um do outro: “La cara de la desgracia”, publicado originalmente em 1960, e “Presencia”, de 1978. Em “La cara de la desgracia”, as lembranças atormentam o narrador, que entrevê, num encontro casual com uma garota, a possibilidade de reconstruir a própria memória e libertar-se do peso e da possessão do passado. Em “Presencia”, conto de forte conotação política, escrito durante o exílio de Onetti, o protagonista, também exilado, reinventa a realidade, por meio de uma falsa investigação, para “compensar a perda desorientadora, criando um mundo novo para governar” (Edward Said). Nos dois casos, desponta a figura de um escritor “impertinente”, estranho à tradição do chamado boom literário latino-americano dos anos 1960 e capaz de problematizar as fronteiras entre história e ficção.
O debate sobre a fundação dos cursos jurídicos no Brasil (1823-1827). Uma reavaliação
Authors: APOSTOLOVA Bistra Stefanova
Published: May 2017

RESUMO O presente artigo discute a criação das primeiras academias de direito no país, fruto de um rico debate realizado em dois períodos da primeira década pós-independência: em 1823, na Assembleia Constituinte, e em 1826-1827, na Assembleia Geral. O objeto se concentra nos debates parlamentares dos quais resultou a Lei de 11 de agosto de 1827. O principal objetivo é investigar de que forma os projetos que tramitaram nas duas Assembleias se inseriam nos processos de construção do Estado e da nação, iniciados com a emancipação política do Brasil, e se a lei aprovada se afastou ou não da concepção do ensino jurídico português. O argumento central defende que houve diferenças entre os modelos de ensino jurídico da Constituinte e da Assembleia Geral, fruto das rápidas mudanças que ocorreram no contexto político do Primeiro Reinado. Ao fim, a nova lei conseguiu, apenas em parte, afastar-se da tradição jurídica portuguesa.
Elas não ficaram em casa. As primeiras mulheres deputadas na década de 1950 no Brasil
Authors: PINTO Céli Regina Jardim
Published: May 2017

RESUMO O artigo tem como objetivo principal examinar a trajetória de vida de doze mulheres pioneiras na política brasileira pós Estado Novo que foram eleitas deputadas estaduais e federais na década de 1950, para verificar quais condições e razões concorreram para sua entrada na carreira política em disputas eleitorais. O propósito não é abordar a biografia dessas mulheres individualmente, mas tomá-las como um grupo observado em sua diversidade. Nesse sentido, buscamos construir uma biografia de grupo que mostre sua diversidade e não excepcionalidade, conferindo visibilidade histórica a essas mulheres no espaço da política. Para que se apreenda a diversidade dessa relação diante da carga biográfica de cada personagem, trabalhamos com temas: família; educação; casamento e vida familiar; vida profissional e atuação pública; vida política. Para a construção desta biografia de grupo foram analisadas notas biográficas, acervos dos legislativos, notícias da imprensa, diários oficiais, trabalhos acadêmicos foram fontes exaustivamente pesquisados, além de bibliografia especializada. A análise de um conjunto de documentos mostra que não havia um padrão comum para as mulheres que entraram na política naqueles anos no Brasil.
Seminário e método entre historiadores que visitaram a Alemanha (1877 - 1909)
Authors: OLIVEIRA Itamar Freitas de
Published: May 2017

RESUMO Este artigo analisa os discursos de quatro historiadores visitantes da Alemanha, no período 1877-1909, que produziram relatórios de suas excursões a universidades de diferentes estados alemães: Paul Fredericq, da Bélgica, Charles Seignobos, da França, Herbert Baxter Adams, dos Estados Unidos e Ernesto Quesada, da Argentina. Nele discutimos os significados de seminário e método motivados pela literatura sobre a identidade profissional que apresenta os dois objetos como determinantes no processo de formação de uma comunidade transnacional de historiadores na passagem do século XIX para o XX. Examinadas as fontes, concluímos que o multifacetado espaço de produção dos estados germânicos, os interesses individuais, as demandas governamentais e os contextos intelectuais, em termos de ensino superior em história, desencadearam as mais diferentes representações sobre seminário, embora os autores tenham mantido um corpo mínimo de princípios e procedimentos que reforça a ideia de que uma espécie de transnacionalização ocorreu no referido período.
DOES CROWN CLASS CLASSIFICATION IMPROVE THE INITIATION AND DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS OF POST-FIRE PINUS BRUTIA STANDS?
Authors: Bountis Diamantis , Milios Elias
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT The present study was conducted in Pinus brutia Ten. stands which were created after the forest fire of 1989, in the island of Thassos. In 2008, 45 plots of 5 x 5 m were randomly established in three site types. In each plot, the trees were counted, while the breast height diameter of trees was measured. All trees were classified as dominant, codominant, intermediate or suppressed. In each plot, one tree from each crown class was selected (a total of 160 trees) and were cut down. From each tree a cross-sectional disc was cut from the ground level and the number of annual growth rings was counted. A few years of age difference between trees in post fire establishment determined the crown class of a tree. The age difference and the number of trees were reduced from the less productive site type to the more productive site type. Codominant trees were (or will become) the crown class with the most numerous trees in the main canopy. Dominant trees were one of the most, if not the most, significant elements of stand structure and production regarding basal area. This was not the case in low productivity site type as a result of delayed dimension differentiation. Analysis of young P. brutia stands, through the classification of trees into crown classes, increased the amount of attained information, since it provided an improved insight in the competition regime.

Published: May 2017

Resumo O desenvolvimento socioemocional de crianças dotadas e talentosas ainda é objeto de controvérsias na literatura especializada. Este estudo visou avaliar a relação entre habilidades sociais e bem-estar subjetivo de crianças dotadas e talentosas e identificar o poder preditivo da primeira variável sobre a segunda. Participaram 269 crianças, de ambos os sexos, identificadas como dotadas e talentosas, de oito a 12 anos, que responderam a instrumentos padronizados de medida das habilidades sociais e de bem-estar subjetivo. Os resultados mostraram que um repertório elaborado de habilidades sociais está associado à percepção de maior bem-estar subjetivo, podendo inclusive predizê-lo, ou seja, aumentando a probabilidade de relato de afetos positivos, autoconfiança, autoestima e bom-humor, entre outros aspectos.
Marital physical violence suffered and committed by men: repeating family patterns?
Authors: Marasca Aline Riboli , Razera Josiane , Pereira Henrique Juliano Rosa , Falcke Denise
Published: May 2017

Abstract Intending to contribute to the marital violence theme, this article has the objective to investigate the presence of physical violence suffered and committed by men in family relationships and the predictive power of family of origin experiences on this occurrence in a sample of 186 men. A sociodemographic questionnaire, Family Background Questionnaire (FBQ) and Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) were used to collect the data. Physical violence suffered and committed by men established significant correlations with experiences of violence in the family of origin. The predictive factor for the occurrence was the experience of parental physical abuse in childhood. We discuss the relevance of a focus of attention on men also as victims of marital violence and the relevance of understanding the role of family of origin for the maintenance of violence in future relations.

Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the factors associated with suicidal ideation in a representative sample of university students. Methods: cross-sectional study, carried out with 637 students of the Federal University of Mato Grosso. The presence of suicidal ideation, demographic and socioeconomic variables, use of alcohol through the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test, and depressive symptoms (Major Depression Inventory) were investigated. Bivariate analysis was performed with the Chi-square test and multivariate analysis using the Poisson regression model. Results: it was found that 9.9% of the students had suicidal thoughts in the previous 30 days and, in the bivariate analysis, the variables economic class, sexual orientation, religious practice, suicide attempts in the family and among friends, alcohol consumption and depressive symptoms were associated with suicidal ideation. In the multivariate analysis sexual orientation, suicide attempts in the family and the presence of depressive symptoms remained as associated factors. Conclusion: these findings constitute a situational diagnosis that enables the formulation of academic policies and preventive actions to confront this situation on the university campus.

Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the usefulness of capnography for the detection of metabolic changes in spontaneous breathing patients, in the emergency and intensive care settings. Methods: in-depth and structured bibliographical search in the databases EBSCOhost, Virtual Health Library, PubMed, Cochrane Library, among others, identifying studies that assessed the relationship between capnography values and the variables involved in blood acid-base balance. Results: 19 studies were found, two were reviews and 17 were observational studies. In nine studies, capnography values were correlated with carbon dioxide (CO2), eight with bicarbonate (HCO3), three with lactate, and four with blood pH. Conclusions: most studies have found a good correlation between capnography values and blood biomarkers, suggesting the usefulness of this parameter to detect patients at risk of severe metabolic change, in a fast, economical and accurate way.

Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT Protein electrophoresis is a relatively simple technique that allows separating serum protein fractions, and provides important information in the investigation and diagnosis of several diseases. This study determined the levels of acute-phase proteins in the serum of healthy, captive emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae). Animals were divided into two groups (n=11 in each) based on age, with 1-year-old and 4-year-old emus. Acute-phase proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE. Ceruloplasmin, transferrin, albumin, haptoglobin, acidic glycoprotein, IgA, and IgG were detected in the serum of all animals. Protein profiles varied significantly with age (P<0.05). Individuals in the 4-year-old emus group had higher values of ceruloplasmin, transferrin, albumin, haptoglobin, and acidic glycoprotein, compared with the group with 1-year-old animals, showing the role of age in the protein profile of this species. Reference values for acute-phase proteins in healthy emus may be useful in the evaluation of health status and in the diagnosis of diseases affecting the species.

ABSTRACT With the objective of detecting the presence of caprine lentivirus (CLV) in ewe milk and in ram semen, ten matrixes and four reproducers experimentally infected with CLV were used. Samples of ewe milk were collected during the four months of lactation, five collections per animal, totaling 50 samples. Regarding the rams, eight semen collections were made per animal, during one year of experimentation, totaling 32 samples. The milk and semen samples were submitted to DNA extraction and the nested polymerase chain reaction test (nPCR) to detect CLV proviral DNA. Eight (16%) of the milk samples were positive in nPCR originating from two ewes. Only one (3.12%) semen sample was positive. The amplification products were sequenced, and were confirmed to be a CLV genomic sequence. Thus, the presence of CLV proviral DNA in sheep milk and semen was demonstrated, confirming the feasibility of infection between species, and alerting to the risk of spreading infections.
Gross and histologic features of gastritis due to Ophidascaris arndti in tropical rattlesnakes ( Crotalus durissus )

Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT The tropical rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus) is a snake of great importance for biomedical industry since its poison is used for the production of antiophidic serum and researches. Several conditions related to animal health, such as diseases and parasites, which can promote the reduction of poison production by these snakes should be investigated. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to characterize the gross and microscopic lesions related to the presence of Ophidascaris arndti in stomachs of tropical rattlesnakes. The gastrointestinal tract of thirty-five South American rattlesnakes captured in Southeastern region of Brazil were analyzed and nineteen animals showed infestation by the parasites, found in the small intestine and, especially, in the stomach of the hosts. Grossly, lesions were characterized by mucosal ulcers occasionally associated with hemorrhage. Microscopic alterations included histiocytic granulomas, fibrosis, necrosis, and hemorrhage. Based on these findings, the diagnosis of a parasitic granulomatous disease was made. The lesions may be related to the cause of death in captivity snakes, since the lesions can promote secondary infections by opportunistic bacteria. Moreover, the intense inflammatory response accompanied by fibrosis may be related to poor functioning of the gastric snakes, which it may exhibit frequent regurgitation of the food.

ABSTRACT Meningoencephalitis caused by Bovine herpesvirus 5 (BoHV-5) is an important neurological disease that affects Brazilian cattle herds. The present study investigated the presence of BoHV-5 DNA in cattle diagnosed with meningoencephalitis at Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, UNESP - Univ Estadual Paulista from 1980 to 2009. The records obtained from the Large Animal Internal Medicine Service and the Animal Pathology Service were reviewed to identify clinical and epidemiological data from cattle with neurological signs. Excluding rabies cases, we found 115 cases of cattle with neurological signs that had been necropsied. Non-suppurative meningoencephalitis was diagnosed in 28 animals of the 115 initially selected based on histopathological examination of brain tissues. Of these 28 animals, 15 (54%) were positive for BoHV-5 DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) brain samples. PCR target was 159-bp fragment from the BoHV-5 glycoprotein C gene. The oldest case identified in the present study was from 1988. PCR was a good tool for the diagnosis of BoHV-5 DNA extracted from FFPE tissues, allowing retrospective studies of samples stored for more than 20 years.

ABSTRACT The present study has the objective of evaluating the effects of exercise training, using moderate intensity walking (60 to 80% of maximum heart rate), from 30 to 50 minutes, three times a week, in alternate days, during eight weeks, on heart rate variability in dogs with myxomatous valve disease (MVD). For that, 20 dogs in stages B1 (1), B2 (14) and C2 (5) of MVD (ACVIM classification) were divided into untrained control group (CG, n=9) and training group (TG, n=11), and assessed at baseline (T0), after four (T1) and eight weeks (T2). Only one B1 and five B2 dogs completed the training program. In the time domain, the rMSSD was greater in TG in T1 (155,5+42,07) and T2 (199,8+83,54) than CG (T1:91,17+35,79 and T2:88,17+57,51). In the frequency domain, the variable High Frequency (HF) increased in TG in T1 (30950+25810) and T2 (40300+33870) when compared to the CG (T1:19090+23210 and T2:18810+22200) and within the group TG in T2 in relation to T0 (29340+20950). The proposed walking protocol is concluded to have increased the rMSSD and HF variables in TG, representing an increase of the parasympathetic tonus, justifying the indication of this therapy in B1 and B2 stages of MVD.
Is International Relations still an American social science discipline in Latin America?
Authors: A. Duarte Villa Rafael , B. de Souza Pimenta Marilia Carolina
Published: May 2017

Abstract Over the last 40 years, investigations have shown the discipline of International Relations to reproduce the American influence on its methods, paradigms, and institutional dynamics. This article explores the case for the Latin American community, based on the survey data from the Teaching, Research, and International Politics project (TRIP) 2014 developed by the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations of the College of William and Mary, Virginia (USA). TRIP evaluated International Relations communities in 32 countries around the world. The article aims to answer two main questions: (i) is American influence still dominant over epistemological, methodological, paradigmatic, and institutional representative terms in Latin American International Relations communities, as has been considered in the past? (ii) Is there in the region any contestation to this supposed influence? Primarily, the present article shows an affirmative answer for the first issue. Therefore, and most importantly, the data analysis shows upcoming local pressures rooted in American influence, especially on its epistemic and paradigmatic terms. The data strengthens the miscegenation tendency on its epistemological and paradigmatic aspects, which underlines a lack of consensus over the structure of American dominance over the discipline of International Relations in Latin America, especially if one observes the most numerous and structured group in the region: the Brazilian International Relations community.
O autômato: uma figura da paixão
Authors: Oliveira Iza Maria de
Published: May 2017

Resumo: Neste artigo, propõe-se realizar uma apresentação crítica do conto, O homem da areia, de E.T.A. Hoffman, inserido no universo psicanalítico por Freud, em 1919, em Das Unheimliche. Este estudo apresentará aquele material literário, verificando a complexidade narrativa e a riqueza de elementos que o compõem. Em seguida, examiná-lo sob o ângulo da paixão, precisamente, como uma narrativa acerca da experiência de uma loucura passional que culmina numa tragicidade daquela natureza. Propõe-se conceber o mecanismo psíquico da alienação como intrínseco ao fenômeno do automatismo, próprio de um estado passional. É possível estabelecer tal processo, tanto nas modulações discursivas do texto, como na constituição dos personagens, mais propriamente em Natanael e Olímpia. A partir desta perspectiva, evidencia-se o autômato como uma figura da paixão.
SABER, VERDADE E GOZO: O MURO DE LINGUAGEM E A FUNÇÃO POÉTICA
Authors: Figueiredo Ingrid Porto de
Published: May 2017

Resumo: Este artigo propõe uma articulação entre saber, verdade, gozo como uma escrita no muro de linguagem, interrogando acerca da possibilidade de sua transposição a partir da função poética. Tal função, em sua articulação com a lógica da inexistência da relação sexual, a qual contraria a lógica da não-contradição, nos aponta uma via para ultrapassar a significação fálica. Assim, parece-nos possível, pela via da função poética, uma tensão entre sentido e som que possa produzir um significante novo pelo ab-senso, de modo que esse significante possa se posicionar como carta de amor que se sustenta pela ressonância da causa do desejo.
Inovação na ciência, inovação na psicanálise
Authors: Lo Bianco Anna Carolina , Costa-Moura Fernanda
Published: May 2017

Resumo: O artigo examina o estatuto da inovação nos dias de hoje, relacionando-o aos procedimentos da ciência e procurando ver as suas consequências para as concepções de sujeito e de ato. Toma o complexo curso da história da ciência, recorrendo a unidades de tempo amplas, para demonstrar as importantes marcas deixadas ao longo dos últimos séculos. Mostra em seguida que, a despeito de aparentemente afastadas de nosso cotidiano, as operações matemáticas alteram a ordem do discurso onde o sujeito se constitui. Conclui que a inovação se torna obrigatória na ciência, o que paradoxalmente a afasta do novo que faz surgir o sujeito.

Abstract Ecovillages have been highlighted among the initiatives that promote sustainable development in the contemporary world. However, little is known about their effectiveness in the economic, social, environmental, and institutional contexts, in relation to society in general. This study compared, quali-quantitatively, 11 IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) Sustainable Development Indicators (SDIs) in the country with the respective data for the participating ecovillages. Of these indicators, five were related to the environmental dimension; four others to the social dimension; and two to the economic dimension. Questionnaires were used with 52 ecovillages, with open and closed questions, resulting in 32 responses with different degrees of detail. The results suggest that ecovillages outperform those described by IBGE, for the population as a whole, in all indicators that were analyzed. However, there are still challenges to be overcome, such as the difficulty of these groups in dealing with social and economic aspects.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION, QUALITY OF LIFE AND TERRITORIAL TRANS-REGIONAL JUSTICE: A SOCIAL BASIS FOR COMMON GOOD
Authors: ROJAS HERNÁNDEZ JORGE
Published: May 2017

Abstract For globalized local worlds undergoing transformation, territorial interventions are increasingly producing larger social and environmental impacts. Macro-interventions profoundly alter the functioning of ecosystems and human habitats or communities, becoming inclusive in extreme situations of exploitation or extraction, risking their very existence. Therefore it is necessary to develop a system or Social Baseline that clearly establishes the philosophical bases, restrictions and criteria that regulate and curb the negative impacts of such interventions. This implies defining methods for citizen participation. This article focuses on defining a basic framework with criteria and indicators that regulate the impact of macro-interventions - of different natures - on human territories and communities.

Published: May 2017

RESUMO: Objetivo: Analisar a contribuição de proteína, lipídio e carboidrato no total de energia da dieta de idosos das diferentes regiões brasileiras. Métodos: Foram analisados dados de 4.286 idosos (60 a 104 anos) provenientes da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares 2008/2009. Baseado no consumo obtido por dois registros alimentares, o programa Multiple Source Method estimou o consumo habitual de macronutrientes e gordura saturada. As recomendações do Institute of Medicine (IOM), segundo os Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR), foram utilizadas para avaliar a participação relativa dos macronutrientes de acordo com percentual energético (PE). Modelos de regressão linear identificaram diferenças entre PE dos macronutrientes, situação do domicílio, macrorregiões e gênero. Resultados: A proteína foi o macronutriente que apresentou maior concordância com o AMDR (99,8%). Com relação ao PE lipídico, observou-se que 9,2% da população ficaram acima da recomendação, sendo o dobro do encontrado para carboidrato (4,9%) e nove vezes o percentual de idosos, cujo PE-proteico (1,0%) foi acima do recomendado. Em 14,5% dos idosos a ingestão de carboidratos foi abaixo da AMDR, sendo que essas dietas apresentaram maior PE lipídico (β = 8,19; p < 0,001), revelando que 50% dos idosos que consumiam carboidratos abaixo do PE recomendado apresentou um consumo excessivo de lipídio. Segundo macrorregiões, o Centro-Oeste foi o único a apresentar diferença para carboidrato, sendo esta de menor percentual (51,6%; p < 0,05). A região Sul (17,9%; p < 0,01) apresentou o menor PE proteico e o maior de lipídios (28,7%; p < 0,01). Conclusões: A elevada frequência de inadequação da ingestão de lipídio pode significar uma pior qualidade da dieta, contribuindo com o aumento no risco de desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas.
