Twenty three face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted to collect data. Findings revealed Chinese advertising practitioners’ definitions of creativity and strategy, perceived criteria of creativity and strategy, perceptions of strategy typology, and how creative person, process, and press shape their perceptions of creativity. Theoretical and practical implications were offered.
Spiritual Care in Nursing Practice in Veteran Health Care
Authors: Burkhart Lisa , Bretschneider Anna , Gerc Sharon , Desmond Mary E.
Published: May 2019

Spiritual care is important in nursing practice, and spiritual well-being and spiritual care are associated with better health. Military veterans, a unique patient population, want spiritual care to cope with chronic conditions. It is unclear whether spiritual care is provided in veteran health care in the United States. This study used a qualitative descriptive method, guided by the Spiritual Care in Nursing Practice (SCNiP) theory, to describe spiritual care in nursing practice and facilitators/barriers in veteran health care. Individual interviews were conducted with 39 registered nurses (RNs) at a U.S. veteran health system. Findings were consistent with the SCNiP theory but revealed additional categorical attributes and processes as it applied to veteran health care. Facilitators that promoted spiritual care include nurse professionalism, collegial support, and available spiritual resources. Barriers included lack of time, task-oriented culture, unclear knowledge of accessing resources, and unclear organization policy in providing spiritual care. Findings further refined the theory.
Scalar fixes of environmental management in Java, Indonesia
Authors: Lukas Martin C , Flitner Michael
Published: May 2019

This paper analyses the emergence and fixing of scales in struggles over environmental issues. Using the example of watershed and coastal management in Java, we show how political framings of environmental matters and struggles over resources are linked to scalar regimes. We conceptualise these regimes as scalar fixes in which scales of intervention and scales of knowledge production are bound by environmental narratives and social–ecological processes to produce lock-in effects for prolonged periods of time. In our empirical case, particular scales were central in providing ‘problem closure’ and legitimising interventions while precluding other problematisations. Sedimentation of the Segara Anakan lagoon, first desired to support conversion into a rice bowl, was later framed as threat caused by upland peasants. The lock-in of interpretive framings and scales of observation and intervention, which was linked to politics of forest control, impeded debate on the various causes of sedimentation. With our newly defined concept of scalar fixes we contribute to understanding environmental narratives and related knowledge, providing a complement to the micro-perspectives on the stabilisation of knowledge claims currently discussed in cultural and political ecology. In doing so, we offer an approach to scalar analysis of environmental conflicts linking environmental narratives with the material social–ecological processes enrolled.
Enhancer RNAs: Insights Into Their Biological Role
Authors: de Lara Josué Cortés-Fernández , Arzate-Mejía Rodrigo G , Recillas-Targa Félix
Published: May 2019

Enhancers play a central role in the transcriptional regulation of metazoans. Almost a decade ago, the discovery of their pervasive transcription into noncoding RNAs, termed enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), opened a whole new field of study. The presence of eRNAs correlates with enhancer activity; however, whether they act as functional molecules remains controversial. Here we review direct experimental evidence supporting a functional role of eRNAs in transcription and provide a general pipeline that could help in the design of experimental approaches to investigate the function of eRNAs. We propose that induction of transcriptional activity at enhancers promotes an increase in its activity by an RNA-mediated titration of regulatory proteins that can impact different processes like chromatin accessibility or chromatin looping. In a few cases, transcripts originating from enhancers have acquired specific molecular functions to regulate gene expression. We speculate that these transcripts are either nonannotated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) or are evolving toward functional lncRNAs. Further work will be needed to comprehend better the biological activity of these transcripts.
Sexual molestation of males: Associations with psychological disturbance
Authors: King Michael , Coxell Adrian , Mezey Gillian
Published: May 2019

Background

There are no epidemiological data in Europe on associations between sexual molestation in males and psychological disturbance.

Aims

To investigate whether sexual molestation in males is a significant predictor of psychological disturbance.

Method

We recruited men attending general practice and genitourinary medicine services. Participants took part in a computerised interview about sexual molestation as children or adults. We ranked reported sexual experiences into three categories of decreasing severity. Each category was treated as an independent predictor in a multivariate analysis predicting different types of psychological disturbance.

Results

Men who reported child sexual abuse were more likely to report any type of psychological disturbance. Men who reported sexual molestation in adulthood were 1.7 (1.0–2.8) times more likely to have experienced a psychological disorder, but self-harm was the single most likely problem to occur (odds ratio⩵2.6, range⩵l.3–5.2). Men reporting ‘consenting’ sexual experiences when aged under 16 years also were more likely to report acts of self-harm (odds ratio⩵l.7, range⩵0–2.8).

Conclusions

Sexual abuse as a child or adult is associated with later psychological problems. All forms of sexual molestation were predictive of deliberate self-harming behaviour in men.
Evidence into practice
Authors: Chilvers Rupatharshini , Harrison Glynn , Sipos Attila , Barley Madeline
Published: May 2019

Psychiatrists have long recognised that routine clinical practice needs to be shaped and informed by external evidence (Lewis, 1958). Psychiatric researchers were among the first to utilise multi-centre randomised controlled trials (demonstrating the effectiveness of antipsychotics), and psychologists were among the first in the health field to develop techniques of meta-analysis. Social workers, too, point to their tradition with the publication of one of the earliest controlled trials (Lehrman, 1949).
Status of bone health and association of socio-demographic characteristics with Bone Mineral Density in Pakistani Females
Authors: Tariq Saba , Baig Mukhtiar , Tariq Sundus , Shahzad Muhammad
Published: May 2019

Background & Objective: The “silent thief” of bone osteoporosis is associated with various modifiable factors, identifying these factors is important in decreasing the prevalence of this highly prevalent disease. Therefore, this study was planned to identify these risk factors for osteoporosis in premenopausal and postmenopausal Pakistani women.

Methods: A total of 1205 pre and postmenopausal females between the age of 20 to 80 years were selected. Detailed history about the socio-demographic characteristics including age, education, profession, marital and resident status was recorded. Medical and gynecological history was also taken after informed consent Bone health of females was assessed using calcaneal ultrasound bone densitometer. SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze data.

Results: Univariate analysis showed that age (30-39 yrs, and 60-69 yrs), occupation (housewives) and education (secondary and primary education, illiterate) were significantly associated with low bone mass density (LBMD). Multivariate analysis showed that age 30-39 years (OR=0.25 95%CI 0.13 – 0.49), age 40-49 years (OR=0.30 95%CI 0.15 – 0.59), age 50-59 years (OR=0.42 95%CI 0.22 – 0.79), primary education (OR=3.83, 95%CI 2.30 - 6.38) and illiteracy (OR=3.83 95%CI 2.52 – 5.82), were significantly associated with LBMD. The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was 29.8%, 27.2%, respectively, while 43% of subjects had normal BMD.

Conclusion: It is concluded that within Pakistani population, the prevalence of osteopenia is high even at an early age group and the odds of having LBMD are more in less educated or illiterate women.

Improvement of hand hygiene compliance in a private hospital using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) method
Authors: Demirel Aslıhan
Published: May 2019

Objective: Improving the compliance to hand hygiene in healthcare providers is important to reduce healthcare-associated infections. This study aimed to compare the compliance rate before and after the improvement of compliance to hand hygiene.

Methods: In this study 270 of the 348 medical staff working in a 61-bed private hospital was observed. The informed observation was performed by the infection control committee in the entire hospital using “Five Moments for Hand Hygiene” for a period of one year. After the first six months, an improvement study was conducted together with the hospital’s quality department using the plan-do-check-act cycle. The study was conducted in a private hospital in Istanbul/Turkey; Kadıkoy Florence Nightingale Hospital in 2014.

Results: In the first six months of the year, 153 actions were observed at 316 proper situations. The compliance rate was 35%, 54% and 64% for the physicians, nurses and, other healthcare staff, respectively. The overall compliance rate was 48%. One hundred eighty-three actions were observed for 306 situations after the improvement and education studies. The compliance rate was 29%, 72% and 86%. The overall mean compliance rate was 60%.

Conclusion: The promotion of hand hygiene requires the cooperation of the hospital administrators, infection control committee, and quality departments for better hand hygiene practices among the healthcare providers.

Authors: Hübner Jacek , Hübner Ilona , Kroczka Sławomir
Published: May 2019

Cel pracy

Była nim ocena występowania zaburzeń nastroju pod postacią depresji oraz zaburzeń funkcji poznawczych w przebiegu narastającego upośledzenia funkcji ruchowych na przestrzeni półrocznej obserwacji pacjentów z SLA.

Metoda

Badaniem objęto 20 osób (5 kobiet, 15 mężczyzn), 10 osób z postacią opuszkową SLA i 10 osób z postacią kończynową SLA.
Pacjentów badano trzykrotnie w odstępach 3 miesięcy na przestrzeni półrocza. Oceniano sprawność fizyczną, funkcje poznawcze oraz zaburzenia depresyjne. Do oceny sprawności posłużono się testem kreskowania Miry Stambak oraz 10-metrowym testem marszowym. Oceny funkcji poznawczych dokonano za pomocą przesiewowego testu psychometrycznego zwanego DemTect. Do diagnozy zaburzeń depresyjnych wykorzystano skalę depresji Becka (BDI).

Wyniki

Analiza uzyskanych wyników wykazała, że upośledzonej sprawności fizycznej towarzyszy zaburzenie funkcji poznawczych, z tendencją do progresji tych zmian na przestrzeni półrocza. Zaburzenia depresyjne również wykazywały związek z niepełnosprawnością motoryczną, jednak ich nasilanie miało charakter przemijający w czasie trwania SLA.

Wnioski

1. Stopniowo narastający ubytek neuronów ruchowych rogów przednich rdzenia kręgowego znajduje odzwierciedlenie w upośledzeniu sprawności fizycznej u pacjentów z SLA.
2. Nasilanie się zaburzeń funkcji poznawczych towarzyszy narastającej niepełnosprawności fizycznej.
3. Narastanie zaburzeń depresyjnych w przebiegu stwardnienia zanikowego bocznego ma charakter przemijający.

Um diálogo entre a teoria ator-rede e a proposta artística de Hélio Oiticica: o que a psicologia tem a ver com isso?
Authors: Lomba Debora Emanuelle Nascimento
Published: May 2019

O presente trabalho é uma releitura da monografia "Eu sou uma obra de arte, o museu é um mundo", cujas questões trabalhadas envolvem a proposta artística de Hélio Oiticica, bem como sua aproximação com uma maneira alternativa de pensar a psicologia, a saber, a teoria ator-rede (TAR). Com isso, temos tanto um trabalho que une psicologia e arte, como um trabalho que problematiza as práticas em psicologia. Dessa forma, serve de apoio para esta discussão, uma bagunça na maneira de pensar e fazer psicologia, totalmente embasadas pelos autores da TAR e dialogando com Hélio Oiticica. Uma discussão que inclui diversos atores e faz compor uma proposta política diferente da lógica dominante na psicologia.
Um convite para um começo de conversa sobre a graduação em Psicologia: pensando uma versão da Psicologia do Desenvolvimento pela TAR
Authors: Soares Luciana Loyola Madeira
Published: May 2019

Apresentamos uma reflexão sobre as práticas na graduação em Psicologia, partindo de uma breve revisão histórica e crítica da Psicologia do Desenvolvimento. Caminhamos pelas formulações iluministas da Ciência Moderna que deram sustentação ao projeto racionalista e individualista enredado na lógica do liberalismo econômico e que colocou o conhecimento voltado para a técnica e leis de mercado no centro do projeto de formação universitária. Apontamos que tais formulações contribuíram para o estabelecimento de uma apolítica noção de desenvolvimento humano, assim como para as práticas de ensino e aprendizagem na referida disciplina e na graduação como um todo. Propomos uma perspectiva ao estudo do desenvolvimento humano que se vincule à presença do outro: a problematização através de práticas éticas em sala de aula na graduação em Psicologia. Apontaremos a Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR) como suporte teórico para uma atitude investigativa para o docente, por fornecer condições para pensarmos o desenvolvimento humano a partir das experiências tecidas em redes e conexões, onde os afetos e a criatividade têm vez, e não só o tecnicismo, a competição, a adaptabilidade e o adestramento.
Fatores associados à assertividade de familiares cuidadores de pacientes psiquiátricos
Authors: Lima Diego Costa , Bandeira Marina , Oliveira Marcos Santos de
Published: May 2019

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar os fatores sociodemográficos associados à assertividade de familiares cuidadores de pacientes psiquiátricos. A amostra foi composta por 53 familiares que cuidavam de pacientes atendidos em um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) de uma cidade de porte médio de Minas Gerais. Os instrumentos de medida utilizados foram a Escala de Assertividade Rathus (RAS), que avalia um fator geral de inibição e três fatores específicos de timidez, agressividade e assertividade no sentido de fazer valer seus direitos, e um questionário sociodemográfico e clínico. Os resultados mostraram que ter menor grau de escolaridade e viver sozinho foram fatores preditores de maior grau de inibição e timidez, assim como menor agressividade e assertividade, e possuir um trabalho foi preditor de maior agressividade. Estes resultados apontam para subgrupos de familiares que necessitam de maior apoio e orientação para desenvolver as habilidades necessárias ao relacionamento com os pacientes, no desempenho do papel de cuidadores. Um melhor repertório de assertividade dos familiares, para saber lidar com os comportamentos dos pacientes, poderá contribuir para que eles tenham um menor grau de sobrecarga e melhores condições de prestar cuidados cotidianos aos pacientes. Intervenções psicoeducacionais em serviços de saúde mental poderão desenvolver estas habilidades.

‘Do not attempt CPR’ in the community: the experience of ambulance clinicians
Authors: Moffat Suzanne , Fritz Zoë , Slowther Anne-Marie , Parry Matthew , Barclay Stephen
Published: May 2019

Background:

Ambulance clinicians must make time-critical decisions concerning treatment and resuscitation. Little is known about the impact of the presence (or absence) of do-not-attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DNACPR) decision forms in the community.

Aims:

To investigate ambulance clinicians' experiences of DNACPR documentation and views concerning potential future changes.

Methods:

This multi-methods study used semi-structured face-to-face interviews (n=10) and an online questionnaire (n=123)

Findings:

Ambulance clinicians report that a statistically significant increase in numbers of community DNACPR forms has occurred in recent years. Most state they have not had formal DNACPR education and experience difficulties in making clinical judgments about patients at the end of life, reporting inappropriate CPR attempts and poor communication among stakeholders.

Conclusion:

Assessment of patients near the end of life with (and especially without) a DNACPR is challenging for ambulance clinicians. Education about resuscitation recommendations needs to be integrated into training and a national approach should be taken to decisions and their documentation.

THE BORN GLOBAL FIRMS IN BRAZIL AND THE ROLE OF EXPORT- PROMOTION PROGRAMS
Authors: Machado Marcelo André , Bischoff Viviane
Published: May 2019

Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar os drivers internos e externos de empresas Born Global com as características de quatro pequenas empresas brasileiras da indústria coureiro-calçadista para identificar o papel dos programas oficiais de apoio na rápida internacionalização dessas empresas. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo de casos múltiplos com quatro PMEs: Francesca Giobbi, LeatherTec, Gueto Ecodesign e Best Calçados e Componentes. O domínio de ativos intangíveis e únicos, a atuação em nichos de mercado e a orientação internacional dos fundadores foram os principais drivers internos relacionados à rápida internacionalização das empresas. Percebeu-se que os fundadores das 04 PMEs têm conhecimento sobre programas de promoção de exportações, mas esse driver externo não teve impacto na velocidade e no desempenho de internacionalização das empresas. Esse reforça a ideia de que a orientação internacional do executivo está associada ao conhecimento sobre programas oficiais de apoio, mas isso não significaria o seu uso e impacto na velocidade da internacionalização.

Published: May 2019

O Programa de Apoio ao Intercambista (PAI) é pertencente à Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Atuária e Contabilidade (FEAAC) da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) e tem o objetivo de ajudar e guiar estudantes de mobilidade acadêmica internacional na UFC nos seus primeiros momentos em Fortaleza, fornecendo apoio e incentivando trocas de experiências entre os acadêmicos estrangeiros e os da UFC. O presente estudo tem o objetivo de analisar os fatores que configuram o programa na fase de pré-institucionalização. A presente pesquisa é de abordagem qualitativa. Quanto aos fins, esta pesquisa é descritiva e quanto aos meios é documental e um estudo de caso sobre o PAI. Já a apreciação dos dados coletados foi feita por meio da análise de conteúdo. A pesquisa contribui com aprofundamento do processo de institucionalização do suporte ao estudante estrangeiro em uma universidade brasileira, temática pouco difundida e explorada em pesquisas nacionais até então. Concluiu-se que houve uma evolução dos fatores que determinaram a fase de pré-institucionalização do programa; percebeu-se que um dos principais fatores que causa entraves à fase de objetivação dele é a falta de uma estrutura física e constatou-se que um dos fatores que coadjuva à fase de objetivação é o monitoramento por meio da comparação com o suporte aos estudantes estrangeiros feito por outras universidades brasileiras ou estrangeiras. Como limitações da pesquisa, identifica-se o número de entrevistados e sugere-se que sejam abordadas as perceptivas dos professores, dos servidores e dos gestores em pesquisas futuras.

"Les Amours de Bastien et Bastienne". Ein Opernprojekt der Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität
Authors: Genewein Claire , Schmid Peter
Published: May 2019

Claire Genewein und Peter Schmid widmen sich in ihrem Beitrag einem Opernprojekt der Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität, der Rekonstruktion und Inszenierung des Singspiels »Les Amours de Bastien et Bastienne« von Marie Favart aus dem Jahr 1753. Während die Partitur nur lückenhaft überliefert ist - von insgesamt acht Auftritten sind lediglich zwei vollständig; zwei fehlen ganz -, existieren das vollständige originale Libretto sowie eine deutsche Fassung, welche für eine Inszenierung in Wien ausgearbeitet worden war. Für die vorliegende Inszenierung in deutscher Sprache wurde dieses Libretto von Friedrich Wilhelm Weiskern verwendet, welches über weite Strecken der Partitur unverändert unterlegt werden konnte. Daneben enthält Favarts Partitur auch Sätze ohne Textunterlegung, welche mit Passagen aus dem Weiskern'schen Libretto vervollständigt werden konnten. Ergänzende musikalische Elemente wurden Rousseaus parodiertem »Le Devin du village« entnommen. Im Anhang werden die beiden vollständigen Libretti mit Angaben zur Rekonstruktion gegenübergestellt.
Psychopolitics of Speech
Authors: Martin James
Published: May 2019

The human capacity for speech is forever celebrated as evidence of its innate civility. Why, then, is public discourse often - and today more than ever, it would seem - so uncivil, even delusional? The reason, argues James Martin in this timely book, lies in the way speech works to organise desire. More than knowledge or rational interests, public speech services an unconscious urge for a lost enjoyment, stimulating an excess in subjectivity that moves us in body and mind. James Martin draws upon the work of psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan as well as other Continental thinkers to set out a new approach to the analysis of rhetoric and answer the troubling question of whether civil discourse can ever hope to escape its obscene underside.
Hexen der Großstadt
Authors: Hegner Victoria
Published: May 2019

Die Religion der Hexen hat Konjunktur - und dies vor allem in Großstädten. Wer sind diese Hexen? Welche religiösen Vorstellungen vertreten sie? Und warum erweist sich der urbane Kontext als derart entscheidend für die Tradierung ihrer Religion? Diesen Fragen geht Victoria Hegner am Beispiel des Ortes nach, der die größte Hexendichte Mitteleuropas für sich reklamiert: Berlin. Dabei wird deutlich, wie die Stadt zur diskurssetzenden Arena neuer Religionen avanciert und es ihnen ermöglicht, eine politische Öffentlichkeit für sich herzustellen und zugleich privatisiert zu bleiben. Die Hexenreligion ist für dieses Phänomen emblematisch - und gleichzeitig ein Sonderfall.

Dieses Buch soll Mut machen. Es vereint ein beziehungsreiches Denken mit einer neuen Art zu handeln. Das Ziel: eine freie, faire und lebendige Gesellschaft. Doch das Gewohnte hat sich tief eingegraben in unseren Köpfen, in unserem Alltag, in Markt und Staat. Silke Helfrich und David Bollier legen überkommene Denkmuster frei und entwerfen ein Programm für ein gelingendes Miteinander, ein anderes Politikverständnis und ein sorgendes Wirtschaften. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Commons-Praktiken. Sie zeigen, wie wir in Verschiedenheit gemeinsame Ziele verfolgen. Ganz praktisch können so Häuser und Fahrzeuge in ähnlicher Weise wie die Wikipedia entstehen. Das Buch stiftet zudem an, wie ein »Commoner« zu denken. Es bietet eine Sprache für die Welt von morgen. Es verändert nicht nur die Wirtschaft und die Politik - es verändert uns.
Statusängste in Deutschland
Authors: Delhey Jan , Steckermeier Leonie C.
Published: May 2019

Jan Delhey und Leonie C. Steckermeier beschäftigen sich in ihrem Beitrag mit Statusängsten im Sinne von statusbedingten Inferioritätsängsten und -erfahrungen. Mit Daten aus drei Wellen des European Quality of Life Survey nehmen sie zu zwei theoretischen Debatten Stellung: zur Spirit-Level-Theorie von Wilkinson und Pickett und zu populären Zeitdiagnosen einer Angstgesellschaft. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass Statusängste sowohl von ökonomischen als auch von kulturellen Faktoren bedingt werden. Entgegen der Annahme vieler Angstdiagnosen ist das Niveau der Statusängste der Deutschen im europäischen Vergleich sehr gering und hat sich bis 2016 auch in Ost- und Westdeutschland angeglichen. Während sich der Zusammenhang von Statusängsten und Lebenszufriedenheit über die Zeit abgeschwächt hat, ist der Effekt von Statusängsten auf das Institutionenvertrauen stärker geworden. Insgesamt sind Statusängste in Deutschland kein wachsendes Problem, sondern eher ein zeitdiagnostischer Mythos.

Entlang des Spannungsfeldes zwischen institutionellen und methodischen Plattformen (Dispositionen) und den Unvorhersehbarkeiten bei der eigentlichen Durchführung (Kontingenzen) entstehen in Wissenschaftsprojekten ganz spezifische epistemische Zusammenhänge. Am Beispiel von drei kardiovaskulären Sonderforschungsbereichen entwirft Thomas Krämer eine methodologische Synopse von Konzepten aus Epistemologie, ANT und Wissenschaftsphilosophie (u.a. mit Bachelard/Heidegger, Canguilhem, Latour, Rheinberger), um Verbundforschung zu konzeptualisieren und untersuchen zu können.
Klimapolitik in der Stadtentwicklung
Authors: Sturm Cindy
Published: May 2019

Vor welche Probleme wird die Kommunalpolitik in Bezug auf Stadtentwicklung und Klima gestellt und warum können diesbezügliche bundespolitische Programme nicht so einfach umgesetzt werden? Aus einer politisch-geographischen Perspektive zeigt Cindy Sturm am Beispiel von Dresden und Münster, dass diese Programme auf unterschiedliche Rationalitäten und Problematisierungen treffen und in vielfältigen, auch unerwarteten oder widerständigen Praktiken der Stadtentwicklungspolitik angeeignet und modifiziert werden. Basierend auf diskurs- und gouvernementalitätstheoretischen Ansätzen trägt die Studie somit dazu bei, die Komplexität kommunaler Politik allgemein bzw. von Klimapolitik im Besonderen zu verdeutlichen.
Alltag nach dem Erdbeben
Authors: Schild Pascale
Published: May 2019

Erdbeben sind immer auch politische Ereignisse, die Machtverhältnisse in Gesellschaften aufbrechen. In ihrer Ethnografie des Wiederaufbaus nach dem Erdbeben 2005 in Azad Kaschmir untersucht Pascale Schild alltägliche Widersprüche und Konflikte in und um Politik, Bürokratie und die häusliche Familie. Sie zeichnet nach, wie staatliche Wiederaufbaubestrebungen Menschen, ihre Stadt und Häuser regierten und so auch Widerstände gegen Ungerechtigkeiten befeuerten. Die Studie erweitert die sozialanthropologische Naturkatastrophenforschung u.a. um eine Ethnografie des Regierens und Regiert-Werdens und leistet einen Beitrag zur Sozial- und Politikanthropologie Pakistans und Kaschmirs.
Die Präsenz der Dinge
Authors: Scholz Jana
Published: May 2019

Menschenähnliche Dinge fordern uns in besonderem Maße heraus. Sie lösen Gefühle und Imaginationen aus, sie beeinflussen unsere Körperhaltung und unsere Mimik. Woher rühren unsere bisweilen starken Reaktionen auf anthropomorphe Artefakte? Warum neigen wir dazu, sie wider besseres Wissen zu verlebendigen? Jana Scholz fragt erstmals gezielt nach der Agency künstlerischer Artefakte in menschlicher Gestalt. Anhand dreier Beispiele aus Fotografie, Mode und Literatur lotet sie das Verhältnis zwischen materiell-visueller Inszenierung und ästhetischer Wahrnehmung aus. Dabei werden neue Sichtweisen auf die Beziehungen von Dingen und Menschen eröffnet - in einer Zeit, in der diese zunehmend undurchdringlich scheinen.
Todesbegegnungen im Film
Authors: Räuber Laura
Published: May 2019

Wie nah kommen die Bildmedien Malerei, Fotografie und Film dem Phänomen Tod? Die zeichentheoretischen Unterschiede einbeziehend, beschreibt Laura Räuber Film als erfolgreichstes Medium für eine »Begegnung« mit dem Tod. Der Film erweitert die Symbolismen der Malerei und die Realitätsbezüge der Fotografie um lebensnahe, bewegte und auditive Eindrücke und bietet dem Publikum ästhetische Erfahrungen tödlicher Gewaltakte. Dabei werden gängige Filmtheorien mit psychoanalytischem oder kognitivem Fokus aus der Perspektive des Körpers neu gedacht. Es zeigt sich: Somatische Anteilnahme gleicht die künstliche Abstraktion von Realität aus und scheint zugleich als gefahrlose Nähe zum Tod die grundlegende Motivation für eine Rezeption darzustellen.

Ética y política: dimensiones prácticas de la experiencia del lenguaje en el filosofar wittgensteiniano
Authors: Cabanchik Samuel
Published: May 2019

Como suele ocurrir con los clásicos, también la determinación de la orientación dominante de la filosofía de Wittgenstein sigue siendo materia de controversia. En el presente artículo sostengo el papel estratégico de la dimensión ética, como clave de lectura de su pensamiento. El eje fundamental de esta clave deriva de lo que llamaremos “experiencia del lenguaje”, tal como se da cuenta de la misma desde el primer al último período de su obra. Se sostendrá que toda la obra de Wittgenstein puede leerse como un campo de experimentación para realizar la experiencia del lenguaje. En el primer período, la experiencia del lenguaje se realiza en la articulación entre el sentido y el sinsentido, a través de la distinción decir/mostrar como punto de apoyo para el acto ético; con posterioridad al Tractatus, son los fenómenos del “ver como” o “notar un aspecto”, los que hacen posible el montaje de experimentos lingüísticos en los que la experiencia del lenguaje es realizada. También en la perspectiva de las Investigaciones la experiencia del lenguaje es ocasión para la realización del acto ético, pero ya no en una perspectiva solipsista como la del Tractatus, sino en una comunitaria y, en ese sentido, quizá política, en una acepción amplia de la palabra.
Filosofía, crítica y práctica de sí: entre Wittgenstein y Foucault
Authors: Lorio Natalia , Torrano Andrea
Published: May 2019

Si bien Wittgenstein y Foucault pertenecen a distintas tradiciones – Wittgenstein a la filosofía analítica y Foucault a la filosofía continental– es posible señalar cierta problemática común sobre lo que comprendieron como actividad filosófica. En este artículo nos ocuparemos de la actividad filosófica a partir de las nociones de crítica y práctica de sí. Tanto Wittgenstein como Foucault realizan una crítica al modo tradicional como se ha comprendido la filosofía, como también al modo de hacer filosofía. Asimismo, la tarea filosófica supone una práctica de sí, la cual puede ser considerada como propedéutica –Wittgenstein– o como parrhesía –Foucault.
Para uma (re)leitura das Anotações sobre as cores de Wittgenstein
Authors: Salles João Carlos
Published: May 2019

As Anotações sobre as cores não têm tido o destaque merecido, pois parecem um conjunto parcialmente amorfo e desconexo, com precária estrutura de conjunto. Isso se deve, em grande medida, ao estado da edição dos textos realizada por G. E. M. Anscombe, que despreza variantes, faz sugestões equivocadas para a datação dos manuscritos, suprime parágrafos (inclusive uma quarta parte), além de ter desfigurado a Parte II, ordenando equivocadamente esses parágrafos. Uma edição bem cuidadaé necessária à recuperação de suas chaves interpretativas, permitindo-nos um roteiro claro de leitura. Desse modo, a Parte II logo se apresenta como um projeto de tratamento de proposições gramaticais sobre cores, ao que se segue o extenso e rico material da Parte III, a ser lido em conjunto com a Parte IV. Assim, em conjunto, essas partes preparam a bem elaborada Parte I, que sintetiza os principais problemas anteriores e, de modo claro, mostra as razões mais profundas para o fracasso da análise fenomenológica de Goethe e, por conseguinte, de toda fenomenologia que se pretenda uma ciência definitiva do conceito de cor ou que, em relação a outros temas, pretenda universalizar a "matemática" própria de um emprego específico.
Sistema de control en laberinto circular de Barnes (LCB)
Authors: Puentes Morales Carlos Alberto
Published: May 2019

El estudio de la memoria en roedores ha tenido un desarrollo amplio gracias al laberinto creado por Carol Barnes hacia los años 80 del siglo XX. Con esta motivación, en la Universidad El Bosque, Bogotá, Colombia, se desarrolló un laberinto circular de Barnes (LCB) donde se han aplicado diferentes experimentos que emulan el movimiento de una rata como actividad típica de laboratorio para pruebas de memoria; de acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, se ha pretendido cuantificar si la ejecución de estímulos (sonoros o visuales) afecta en la memoria espacial del roedor y en qué medida. Por lo anterior, el presente trabajo muestra el diseño e implementación de un sistema de control que registra el mapeo del roedor en el experimento, activa módulos sonoros y lumínicos en tiempo real y garantiza la compatibilidad con el software desarrollado (BarnesMaze 2.0). Se destaca del diseño e implementación de BarnesMaze -basado en la plataforma libre Java- que realiza procesamiento de imágenes, lectura de sensores, lectura de tiempo o cronómetro, cálculo de distancia, cálculo del número de huecos de error, y activación de estímulos lumínicos y sonoros ecazmente y en tiempo real a través del protocolo multihilos (Thread) del procesador del PC.
Czy może istnieć świat rzeczy bez rzeczy? Problem badania inwentarzy dóbr w historii sztuki
Authors: Morawski Konrad
Published: May 2019

The paper addresses a problem which traditional art history has thus far ignored, i.e. the examination of items listed in inventories of property. Art historians usually approach concrete works of art to textualize them, while they are helpless confronting items “hidden” behind a text. In the context of the “materiality turn,” inventories reveal their paradoxical character since they include “personal” information about individual objects. If one assumes that the inventory is an instrument used to examine the objects listed in it, one must also realize a basic paradox of approaching them via their purely textual representation. A growing interest of art historians in publishing historical sources, in particular inventories, should result in more reflection on the role assigned to texts and things by historiography. To answer the question how items listed in inventories are available to their readers, the author has made references to cognitive linguistics and epistemology, critiques of historical narrativism, and poststructuralism. Such a comprehensive frame of reference made it possible to analyze some problems of the theory of historical source analysis and the editing and publishing of source texts. A comparison of art history and history of material culture resulted in defining the expectations and limitations related to the study of property inventories conducted by both disciplines. The experience of object analysis, which is a key prerequisite of interpretation, has been described in reference to three cognitive terms: concepts, exemplars, and invariants. The scholar trying to use all the available sources to reach the object itself must take advantage of all his/her experience. Analysis is possible only in a context, while the meaning of concepts, i.e. brief entries about individual items, can be discovered only in a complex system of semiotic reference. Apparently, such analysis can never be objective.
„Rzeczy warszawskie” – nowa odsłona Muzeum Warszawy
Authors: Markowska Anna
Published: May 2019

A radical reconstruction of the exposition layout at the Museum of the City of Warsaw, connected with the general reconstruction of the facilities and retirement of its longtime director, Janusz Durko (1951-2003), resulted in 2017 in opening a new permanent exposition called Things from Warsaw. The exposition consists of 21 cabinets containing 8 000 items selected out of 300 000 included in the museum holdings (e. g., Cabinet of Warsaw Monuments, Cabinet of Warsaw Silver and Plate Tableware, Cabinet of the Warsaw Sirens, Cabinet of Postcards, Cabinet of Souvenirs, Cabinet of Shrines). The main criterion was the materiality and authenticity of particular items, which resulted in the absence of multimedia presentations and suggested “appropriate” narratives. The main curator of the exposition is Jarosław Trybuś, art historian and curator rewarded with the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2008. His team followed an idea of Bjørnar Olsen that due to various conceptualizations the material world studied by the humanities has been so dematerialized that we can hardly believe our eyes. Thus the features of the exposition – sincerity, seriousness, and modesty – suggest a new approach to the city’s history through experiencing the reality of things treated not so much as “witnesses,” but rather as “actors” of the past events. This turn to materiality stems from the hope to come close to the things without the mediation of words imposing predictable interpretations in advance. In other words, the exposition is a kind of lesson in openness, multidirectional reading, and the de-ideologization of history. The Things from Warsawexhibition has been analyzed in reference to three criteria: openness to the “other,” creating a vision of the future, and the inspiring power of imagination.
