A finalidade central desta pesquisa é demonstrar a importância do planejamento tributário como um processo que possibilita a escolha da melhor opção de regime tributário, visando a economia de tributos, dever constitucional de todo administrador ativo e probo. As empresas buscam por meio legal e até mesmo como dever dos gestores identificar as possibilidades regulamentares de reduzir a carga tributária e com isso aumentar a capacidade competitiva e de sobrevivência de seus negócios, por meio de ações oriundas do planejamento tributário, enquanto processo de gestão de tributos. O planejamento tributário é um processo contínuo dentro de qualquer atividade de negócios. Enquanto de um lado o contribuinte busca identificar algumas situações que possibilitam reduzir seus custos com tributos, por outro o fisco está sempre atento para eliminar qualquer possibilidade de evasão de tributos. Foi realizado um levantamento dos dados da empresa por meio dos relatórios contábeis. Destacando a importância do planejamento tributário esta pesquisa se propôs a responder à seguinte questão: Como o planejamento tributário pode auxiliar na definição do regime tributário com o foco de reduzir a carga tributária da empresa estudada? O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de uma pesquisa descritiva e qualitativa, os dados foram coletados por meio dos relatórios contábeis da empresa que é enquadrada no regime do Simples Nacional. O período analisado foram os anos de 2014 e 2015. Os resultados obtidos pela análise comparativa dos dados evidenciados em suas demonstrações contábeis apresentam que o regime de tributação adotado pela empresa atualmente é o mais favorável e que o planejamento tributário contribui efetivamente para a definição do regime mais vantajoso para a empresa analisada.

Empresas consideradas familiares têm sua gestão ligada a um grupo de pessoas da mesma família e estão sujeitas aos ajustes e modificações que o mercado exige para uma organização, bem como estão sujeitas a problemas e ameaças próprios, que não afetam apenas a empresa, mas a toda família a qual está vinculada. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a gestão de uma empresa familiar sob a ótica de bases conceituais presentes na literatura. É realizado um estudo de caso junto à empresa Construtelhas Comércio e Serviços Ltda. Para tanto, foi feita uma entrevista com o gestor da empresa, sendo os dados coletados analisados através do método de análise do conteúdo. Os resultados apontam que houve um aprimoramento no modelo de gestão adotada pela empresa, na qual o gestor e demais participantes utilizam os conhecimentos adquiridos em suas formações, além de destacar a falta de conflitos oriundos de divergências entre a gestão familiar e não familiar que coexistem no mesmo ambiente de trabalho empresarial.
PRODUZIR PARA O AUTOCONSUMO: UMA ANÁLISE DA AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR NO MUNICÍPIO DE TEUTÔNIA/RS
Authors: Hagemann Junior , Agostini Cíntia
Published: January 2019

A produção de alimentos no mercado brasileiro é prioritariamente atendida pela agricultura familiar. No Vale do Taquari, e especificamente no município de Teutônia/RS, prevalecem a produção e o processamento de alimentos em propriedades de caráter familiar, que, além de atender a demanda por alimentos, produz parte do que é necessário para o consumo próprio. Essa produção é denominada para autoconsumo e objetiva tanto reduzir os custos de aquisição como privilegia a segurança alimentar. Assim, este estudo objetivou analisar quais os fatores que determinam a produção para o autoconsumo nas propriedades familiares de Teutônia/RS. Enquanto metodologia, esta pesquisa é qualitativa e quantitativa. A análise de dados se deu pela mensuração da representatividade na renda da produção e análise de conteúdo das entrevistas. Como resultado constatou-se que essa a produção para autoconsumo está diminuindo nas propriedades, sendo mantida essa prática parcialmente devido à segurança alimentar e à renda.
RESTRIÇÕES AO CRESCIMENTO ECONÔMICO BRASILEIRO: ANÁLISE DE FATORES DE OFERTA E DE DEMANDA NO PERÍODO DE 1996 A 2016
Authors: Attílio Luccas Assis
Published: January 2019

Esse artigo investiga restrições ao crescimento econômico brasileiro pelas óticas da oferta e da demanda entre os anos 1996 e 2016. A primeira restrição é concernente à demanda agregada: exportações de manufaturados. Nesse caso, utilizou-se o modelo de Thirlwall (1979) e estimou-se uma função relativa a esse componente. Por meio do VEC obteve-se relações de longo prazo da taxa de câmbio e da taxa de juros com as exportações. As estimativas sugerem que um câmbio apreciado e uma taxa de juros elevada prejudicam a expansão das exportações de manufaturados. A segunda restrição é pela ótica da oferta: estoque de capital físico. Para analisá-lo, recorreu-se ao modelo de Solow (1956), estimando uma função de investimento em capital físico. Também por meio do VEC obteve-se relações de longo prazo que apontam para o efeito negativo do pagamento de juros da dívida pública sobre o investimento. Conclui-se que essas restrições são estruturais e que, mesmo que políticas cambial e monetária sejam gerenciadas para superar tais restrições, os efeitos seriam percebidos somente no longo prazo.

Published: January 2019

Due to the biological effects of phenolic acid components, polyphenol-rich foods are a significant part of human and animal diets. In this study, the acidity constants of caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) in binary mixtures of ethanol?water were determined spectrophotometrically using the introduced net analyte signal (NAS) algorithm and an ab initio quantum mechanical method. The NAS is an efficient chemometric algorithm for analysis of acid?base equilibrium systems by a spectrophotometric method. At different pH values, the distribution of acid species is obtained from an absorption data matrix and this procedure enabled the pKa of caffeic acid to be obtained alternatively. The results showed that pKa1 (4.02, 4.26, 4.39, 4.57 and 5.11) and pKa2 (8.43, 8.68, 8.79, 9.00 and 9.34) were increased by increasing the percent ethanol in water (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 vol. %) and these results were in agreement with the results of the Gaussian method. The ab initio calculated Gibbs energy change showed that para-hydroxy group is more acidic than meta-hydroxy group. The red shifts of different species of caffeic acid obtained using the ab initio quantum mechanical method are in good agreement with the results of UV?Vis spectroscopy.
Study of geometrical characteristics effects on radiation properties in high porosity fibrous porous media using the pore-scale simulation and two-flux model
Authors: Hosseinalipour Seyed , Namazi Mohammadmehdi
Published: January 2019

In the present study, the radiation properties of a high porosity fibrous medium which is used in catalytic heaters were estimated. The calculation process was based on an inverse method using pore scale simulation and two-flux model. The results showed a good agreement with available experimental results. The effects of geometrical parameters including the solid volume fraction, fibers orientation, and diameter on the radiation properties were investigated. By increasing the solid share in the fibrous porous medium, the extinction coefficient increased, in which the absorption growth rate was higher than the scattering growth rate. The effect of the fibers angle on the scattering was greater than its effect on the absorption. For each porosity, an extinction coefficient could be defined in which, by increasing the fibers diameter, the extinction coefficient would not be reduced any more. The solid volume fraction, fibers diameter, and orientation were found to be the most effective geometric parameters on the radiation properties, respectively.
Experimental investigation on operation parameters of 3Å molecular sieve desiccant coated total energy recovery wheel for maximum effectiveness
Authors: Kassai Miklos , Al-Hyari Laith
Published: January 2019

The object of this research study was to investigate the maximum effectiveness values of the energy wheel by experimental tests conducted under extreme difference ambient air conditions parameters, different air volume flow rates, and energy wheel rotation speeds. Air temperature and humidity experimental tests were performed using a test facility that was developed and installed into the Indoor Air Quality and Thermal Comfort Laboratory of Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Our objective was to get the effectiveness values of sorption coated air-to-air energy recovery wheel for steady-state conditions under different ambient air (as supply air inlet) conditions. It was found that the sensible effectiveness increases by decreasing the volumetric flow rate through the wheel, and the optimum values of the effectiveness were given at the maximum wheel rotation speed based on the tests. As for the latent and total effectivenesses, their characteristics show an increasing trend by decreasing the air volume flow rate, ambient air temperature and relative humidity and increasing the wheel rotation speed.

Humorism and Characterization in Topan’s Mfalme Juha
Authors: Minerba Emiliano
Published: January 2019

This paper discusses the character of King Juha, the protagonist of the comedy Mfalme Juha by Farouk Topan, using an approach that considers the humoristic dimension of this character. The definition of humorism employed here is that given by Pirandello: the result of an aesthetic process in which the comic effect deriving from an object of laughter is tempered and contrasted by a “sentiment of the contrary” that observes and builds empathy with the inner contradictions of the object itself. After a short outline of Mfalme Juha’s critical history which shows that the humoristic dimension of King Juha has never been considered in critiques, this paper focuses on an analysis of this character, in which the core feature of egocentricity is identified. Juha’s egocentricity and its humoristic nature are analysed in the character’s relationship with his subjects as their king and in his idea of art and culture; in both cases it is shown that what is important is not the wickedness or egoism of Juha, but his lack of comprehension of the world. Juha is incapable of understanding his environment and other people, since he can not doubt his own superiority: this puts him in several comic situations, but on the other hand makes him a victim of his smart subjects, so that he arouses a feeling of sympathy in which Pirandello’s sentiment of the contrary can be traced.
Changing Perceptions of Türk Identity Among the Medieval Nomads of Central Eurasia
Authors: Zimonyi István
Published: January 2019

The Türk Khaganate and the ethnonym Türk have been used in modern nation-building processes among the Turkic-speaking peoples of Eurasia since the end of the nineteenth century. The historical importance of the name is exemplified by the country of Turkey today, the plan for a Turkic Republic in Central Asia in the 1920s, and the latest Kazak (Tatar) historiography after the fall of the Soviet Union. The study focuses on the meanings of Türk in the period of the Türk Khaganate (6th–8th centuries). Its first denotation is for an ethnic community or nationality, that is, a nomadic tribal confederation defined by use of the model of gens, including a common origin, language, and traditions with centuries of a stable political framework and the majority of society sharing common law. The second aspect of the usage of the term Türk, being political, referred to all peoples subject to the power of the Türk Khagan. After the fall of the Türk Khaganate, both meanings faded away due to the lack of political stability in the history of the Eurasian steppe, revealing an absence of ethnic continuity from the Middle Ages. However, fragments of Türk identity may have survived in the forms of language community, the Islamic legend of descent from an eponymos hero, and a nomadic way of life opposed to the territorial principles of settled civilisations.

Las políticas públicas de inclusión social en la Argentina 2003-2015 ¿Desde la economía social hacia una economía civil?
Authors: Srnec Cynthia
Published: January 2019

A partir de la crisis económica y política de diciembre de 2001 en la Argentina, se implementaron nuevas líneas de políticas públicas de inclusión socio-laboral y, desde el 2003, se incluyó a la economía social como un eje destacado. En este artículo se propone examinar la propuesta socio-política y económica de la economía social que implementó el gobierno nacional desde el 2003 a fin de señalar su interrelación con la propuesta de la economía civil como modelo diferente al neoliberal. En primer lugar, se sitúan las concepciones teóricas y sus experiencias históricas en los distintos pactos sociales que sostienen modelos de economía y de protección social. En segundo lugar, se revisan las ideas asociadas a la promoción de la economía social por la política pública del Ministerio de Desarrollo Social de la Nación realizando un análisis del discurso. Se examinan los aspectos en los cuales esta política estatal rescata y reúne claves de la economía civil italiana. Se concluye que ambas propuestas de modelos económicos tienen en común claves que representan modelos comunitarios alternativos al pensamiento y políticas neoliberales.

Franz Rosenzweig o de la filosofía como enfermedad
Authors: Arjona Díaz Kathia Verónica
Published: January 2019

De acuerdo con Franz Rosenzweig la filosofía es comprendida, de Platón a Hegel, como algo supremo, íntegro y esencial. La filosofía está hecha sólo para los que son virtuosos. La pregunta filosófica más importante es la relacionada con el ser: ¿Qué es?, interroga. Pero, cuando la pregunta aparece, el sujeto enferma. Rosenzweig piensa que la filosofía es una enfermedad. Hace que el entendimiento humano se detenga y se paralice. Para poder vivir, el hombre tiene que fluir, moverse, ser parte del mundo. Y eso, la filosofía lo obstaculiza. Por lo tanto, cuando la filosofía existe, la vida disminuye en diferentes sentidos. En lugar de filosofía: “Nuevo pensamiento”. Algo que abra la conciencia sin paralizar la existencia.Rosenzweig no esta en contra de la filosofía en sí misma, sino en contra de la filosofía académica, en contra de un solo camino posible para la comprensión, que no es otro que el punto de vista Occidental. En este sentido, el judaísmo se convierte en una parte activa de este “nuevo pensamiento”. Hay otros caminos para alcanzar la verdad.En este ensayo introductorio vamos a explorar quién era Fran Rosenzweig, por qué piensa que la filosofía es una enfermedad y por qué el judaísmo juega una parte importante en esta ecuación.
Una aproximación bioética al término enhancement postulado por el transhumanismo
Authors: Torres Añorve Victoria Angélica , Casas María de la Luz
Published: January 2019

La hipótesis de este artículo es que la propuesta transhumanista de “enhancement” humano aporta a la concepción de mejoramiento humano en un sentido cuantitativo mas no necesariamente en uno cualitativo. En la primera sección caracterizaremos los dos significados más habituales del término “enhancement” utilizado por los transhumanistas: como sinónimo de aumento y como sinónimo de mejoramiento o perfeccionamiento y cómo cada uno implica una concepción subyacente de cantidad y cualidad. En la segunda sección analizaremos si una maximización de ciertas funciones o facultades implica necesariamente una mejora y de qué tipo. En la tercera sección discurriremos brevemente sobre el problema de la especificación del bien y la finalidad del ser humano, implícitos en la concepción valorativa o cualitativa del mejoramiento humano. Finalmente, haremos una reflexión conclusiva donde exhortamos a la profundización sobre estos temas.

Published: January 2019

OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of esophageal insufflation CT (EICT) for evaluation of the esophagus in dogs.

ANIMALS 7 clinically normal adult Beagles.

PROCEDURES Each dog was anesthetized twice with 1 week between anesthesia sessions. Dogs were positioned in sternal recumbency during all CT scans. During the first anesthesia session, a CT scan was performed before the esophagus was insufflated (insufflation pressure, 0 mm Hg) and unenhanced and contrast-enhanced EICT scans were performed after CO2 was insufflated into the esophageal lumen to achieve a pressure of 5 mm Hg. For the contrast-enhanced scan, each dog received iohexol (600 mg/kg, IV), and the scan was performed 30 seconds later. During the second anesthesia session, unenhanced and contrast-enhanced EICT scans were performed in the same manner except the insufflation pressure achieved was 10 mm Hg. The esophageal luminal cross-sectional area and wall thickness were measured at each of 5 segments, and mean values were compared among the 3 insufflation pressures and between unenhanced and contrast-enhanced images.

RESULTS Mean esophageal luminal cross-sectional area increased and esophageal wall thickness decreased as insufflation pressure increased. Measurements did not differ significantly between unenhanced and contrast-enhanced images. The stomach became distended with CO2 at an insufflation pressure of 10 mm Hg but not at 5 mm Hg. No adverse effects were observed.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested EICT was feasible for esophageal evaluation in dogs. Further research is necessary to determine the optimal insufflation pressure for the procedure and its diagnostic efficacy in diseased patients.
Two new species of Symplocos based on endocarps from the early Miocene Brandon Lignite of Vermont, USA
Authors: Tiffney Bruce H. , Manchester Steven R. , Fritsch Peter W.
Published: January 2019

We describe two new species of Symplocos (Symplocaceae) from the early Miocene Brandon Lignite Flora of Vermont, USA. The endocarps of Symplocos laevigata (Lesq.) comb. nov. are most similar in morphology and anatomy to those of the extant species S. tinctoria of southeastern North America and S. wikstroemiifolia of eastern Asia, both of S. sect. Hopea, and to those of several species of S. sect. Lodhra, endemic to eastern Asia; they are also somewhat similar to those of S. minutula of the Tertiary of Europe. The endocarps of Symplocos hitchcockii sp. nov. are most similar in morphology and anatomy to those of living members of S. sect. Lodhra, and are also somewhat similar to fossil S. incurva of the Tertiary of Europe. This report extends the fossil record of Symplocos endocarps to eastern North America and underscores the mixed mesophytic to subtropical nature of the Brandon flora.
The Nossa Senhora da Luz flora from the Early Cretaceous (early Aptian-late Albian) of Juncal in the western Portuguese Basin
Authors: Mendes Mário Miguel , Friis Else Marie
Published: January 2019

A new fossil flora is described from the Early Cretaceous of the western Portuguese Basin, based on a combined palynological-mesofossil study. The fossil specimens were extracted from samples collected in the Nossa Senhora da Luz opencast clay pit complex near the village of Juncal in the Estremadura region. The plant-bearing sediments belong to the Famalicão Member of the Figueira da Foz Formation, considered late Aptianearly Albian in age. The palynological assemblage is diverse, including 588 spores and pollen grains assigned to 30 genera and 48 species. The palynoflora is dominated by fern spores and conifer pollen. Angiosperm pollen is also present, but subordinate. The mesofossil flora is less diverse, including 175 specimens ascribed to 17 species, and is dominated by angiosperm fruits and seeds. The mesofossil flora also contains conifer seeds and twigs as well as fossils with selaginellaceous affinity. The fossil assemblage indicates a warm and seasonally dry climate for the Nossa Senhora da Luz flora.
Association of socio-culture factors with disordered eating behavior: An empirical study on urban young girls of West Bengal, India
Authors: Ganguly Nandini , Roy Subho , Mukhopadhyay Susmita
Published: January 2019

A shift towards the concept of thin body image is occurring among the urban girls, as an outcome of mass media exposure. A large section of the girls are involved in attaining thin body image which at times develops dissatisfaction over body weight. Body weight dissatisfaction gives rise to the development of body weight concern and disordered eating behavior. The present research aimed to find out the association of socio-cultural factors with disordered eating behavior among a group of urban girls.
The study group included 400 girls aged between 14 and 21 years, residing in the city of Howrah, West Bengal, eastern state of India. Information on socio-demographic characteristics, body weight concern, media habits, and family-peer environments was collected using standard pretested questionnaires. A cross-culturally tested questionnaire developed by Srinivasan and colleagues in 1998, was used to measure disordered eating behavior. Bivariate analyses found significant associations between eating behavior and several socio-cultural factors. Multivariate analysis revealed that education level of fathers and birth order of the participants, body weight concern and peers’ influence were the significant predictors of disordered eating behavior of the study participants. Socio-cultural factors have significant associations with the disordered eating behavior of the study participants.
Analysis of limb movement synchronization in primates locomotion
Authors: Sikorska-Piwowska Zofia , Śliwka Piotr , Ciszek Bogdan
Published: January 2019

The authors present an original mathematical model based on features identified with discrete variables using vector and hierarchical cluster analysis in primates locomotion. Proposed model allows to formalize and analyze the synchronization variability of movements in given locomotion types of adaptation and specialization in monkeys, apes and humans. The material covers observations of 102 forms including 9 species of primates: the chimpanzee, bonobo, orangutan, gibbon, gelada, mandrill, brown capuchin and ring–tailed lemur. The studies included also the synchronization of locomotory movements in man. The sequences of moves of pectoral and pelvic limbs, right and left, were studied in four categories: walking, running, jumping and brachiation. The locomotion movements depend on the brain centers and allow to find phylogenetic relations between examined forms in the evolution process.
The knowledge of the pattern of movements is used in the treatment of paraplegia and paraparesis in humans.

Published: January 2019

With the uptake of the IoT in the industrial domain, a whole new range of cyber-physical systems has emerged; Industry 4.0 is the title given to this technological domain of highly interconnected, data-rich systems. To aid the development of such systems, a range of reference architectures has been developed throughout the years. This paper reviews a number of recent reference architectures, detailing their essential traits as well as identifying aspects that need to be further explored in order to obtain reference architectures better tuned to generating cyber-physical social systems.

The presence of phytoplankton responsible for the production of marine biotoxins (phycotoxins) is well recognized globally. Phycotoxins accumulate in filter feeding bivalves and through the food chain find their way to humans. In certain quantities they can cause severe illness. According to the symptoms they cause marine biotoxins are classified as paralytic (e.g. saxitoxin), amnesic (e.g. domoic acid), which are hydrophilic and diarrheic (e.g. okadaic acid) toxins etc. which have lipophilic nature. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of lipophilic toxins in both cultivated and wild mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) samples, harvested in summer 2017 from the south coast of the Black Sea, Bulgaria. Determination was performed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Despite of the recent evidence for the presence of a variety of potentially toxigenic producers in the investigated area, only yessotoxins were found in the studied samples. Mean levels of YTX in cultivated mussels were determined as 5832.86 pg YTX/g hepatopancreas (hp) and as 920.42 pg YTX/g hp in wild mussels. In both cases, YTX levels did not exceed the legislative limit of 3.75 mg/kg shellfish meat. These results indicated that the risk through consumption of studied shellfish is low.
Basic Diophantine Relations

Published: January 2019

The main purpose of formalization is to prove that two equations ya(z)= y, y = xz are Diophantine. These equations are explored in the proof of Matiyasevich’s negative solution of Hilbert’s tenth problem.

In our previous work [6], we showed that from the diophantine standpoint these equations can be obtained from lists of several basic Diophantine relations as linear equations, finite products, congruences and inequalities. In this formalization, we express these relations in terms of Diophantine set introduced in [7]. We prove that these relations are Diophantine and then we prove several second-order theorems that provide the ability to combine Diophantine relation using conjunctions and alternatives as well as to substitute the right-hand side of a given Diophantine equality as an argument in a given Diophantine relation. Finally, we investigate the possibilities of our approach to prove that the two equations, being the main purpose of this formalization, are Diophantine.

The formalization by means of Mizar system [3], [2] follows Z. Adamowicz, P. Zbierski [1] as well as M. Davis [4].
Current challenges of suicide and future directions of management in Bangladesh: a systematic review
Authors: Yasir Arafat S.M.
Published: January 2019

Objectives

Bangladesh is a densely populated country in south-east Asia with paucity of research in suicide. This systematic review was aimed at critical appraising various aspects of suicide in Bangladesh based on available literature and systematic search.

Methods

Extensive literature search was conducted in Scopus, PubMed, PubMed Central, Google, Google Scholar and BanglaJOL with searching key words without any date boundary and without any basis of types of studies, that is, all types of studies were scrutinised. The author focused on sources of suicide data along with epidemiological variables of suicides in Bangladesh such as suicide rate, gender of victims, methods of suicides, risk factors and prevention activities and role of media in suicide.

Results

After exclusion of repetitions, screening was performed, and finally, 35 articles were selected for review. Amongst the 35 articles, 16 articles were original contributions, 2 systematic reviews, 6 narrative reviews, 2 scoping reviews, 3 editorials, 3 case reports and rest correspondence article. The review revealed that the actual rate of suicide in Bangladesh is yet to come out and quality data is a real challenge. Women are dying more than the men, and early adulthood is the most vulnerable time of life.

Discussion

Suicide is a under attended problem in Bangladesh, as the country yet to reveal the actual rate of suicide along with the challenge of quality data. Prevention activities have been started but yet to be visualised. Decriminalisation of suicide in the legal criteria and establishment of suicide surveillance can be the top priorities in the country.
Management of immune-related adverse events in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors– Rheumatology point of view
Authors: Ho Cheuk Man , Mok Chi Chiu
Published: January 2019

The development of immunotherapy has revolutionized the cancer treatment in the recent years. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPis) such as anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (anti-CTLA-4) and anti-programmed cell death protein (anti-PD1) and its ligand (anti-PDL1) have become part of the standard treatment of various malignancies. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were common in patients treated with ICPis. Rheumatologists should be aware of the upcoming challenges in the management of irAEs in a patient receiving treatment with ICPis.
The Spirit as Transcendent Lord
Authors: Stackhouse Ian
Published: January 2019

This essay was delivered as the third and last paper at Spurgeon’s Annual Theological Conference in the summer of 2015. The theme of the Conference was the nature of the trinitarian God, neatly divided a sequence of papers on the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In this essay on the person of the Holy Spirit, Stackhouse challenges some of the assumptions we make when we speak of the Spirit as the God who is near. By placing charismatic experience alongside the biblical revelation, he argues for an understanding of the person of the Spirit as no less transcendent as the Father and the Son, and actively engaged not simply in the phenomena of signs and wonders but in drawing the believer into the very life of the trinity. As the essay develops, Stackhouse seeks to draw out the implications of this approach to pneumatology for our notions of identity, holiness, prayer and Christian community. He argues for a much stronger connection in charismatic/Pentecostal experience between Christ and the Spirit; and in so doing, he warns against some of the more popular, and somewhat ironic, emphases on power, method and function. As with the first paper of the day by Dr Nigel Wright, Stackhouse draws upon the work of Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. Like Wright, he regards Buber’s I-Thou construct of religious experience as critical for the future of contemporary revivalism.
Religious Responses to Environmental Crises in the Orange Free State Republic, C. 1896-C. 1898
Authors: Steyn Phia
Published: January 2019

The purpose of this article is to explore the religious responses within the Orange Free State republic to the environmental crises in the period c. 1896 to c. 1898. During this time the state was subjected to severe drought, flooding, and the outbreak of various diseases. The article examines the way in which these afflictions where interpreted by the Christian and wider community in terms of God’s wrath for unrepented sins. The persistence of synchronistic elements of folk religion was seen to have brought plagues like those found in Exodus which were visited upon the Pharaoh and his kingdom. This interruptive frame work led to calls for national repentance, but also a resistance to scientific and medical resolutions to the crises. It also reinforced racial divisions. Black Africans were perceived as the carriers of the disease so their movement was prohibited. The article goes on to show how the effect of this biblical frame of reference protected the concept of God as the ever-present active God in every aspect of life against the scientific rationalism of the age, while at the same time ironically hindering the work of mission and the life of the church.

Shielded silicon diodes are commonly employed in commissioning of Cyberknife 6 MV photon beams. This study aims to measure output factors, off centered ratio (OCR), percentage depth dose (PDD) of 6 MV photons using shielded and unshielded diodes and to compare with Gafchromic EBT3 film measurements to investigate whether EBT3 could effectively characterize small 6 MV photon beams. Output factors, OCR and PDD were measured with shielded and unshielded silicon detectors in a radiation field analyzer system at reference condition. Water equivalent solid phantom were used while irradiating EBT3 films. From multiuser data, diodes underestimated output factor by 3% for collimator fields ≤ 10 mm, while EBT3 underestimated the output factor by 3.9% for 5 mm collimator. 1D Gamma analysis of OCR between diode and film, results in gamma ≤ 1 for all measured points with 1 mm distance to agreement (DTA) and 1% relative dose difference (DD). Dose at surface is overestimated with diodes compared to EBT3. PDD results were within 2% relative dose values between diode and EBT3 except for 5 mm collimator. Except for small collimator fields of up to 10 mm, results of output factor, OCR, PDD of all detectors used in this study exhibited similar results. Relative dose measurements with Gafchromic EBT3 in this work show that EBT3 films can be used effectively as an independent tool to verify commissioning beam data of small fields only after careful verification of methodology for any systematic errors with appropriate readout procedure.

The strength and density change of the ultraviolet (UV) ray of Gafchromic EBT2 were investigated. Previous studies suggested that UV-A rays can be substituted for the x-ray double-exposure technique to correct Gafchromic EBT2’s non-uniformity error. In this study, we aimed to determine the appropriate strength of UV-A rays for irradiating an active layer that would correct the non-uniformity error of Gafchromic EBT2.

UV-A rays with a wavelength of 375 nm were used to irradiate Gafchromic EBT2 in various durations, and the resulting density change was investigated. To correct Gafchromic EBT2’s non-uniformity error, a pre-irradiation with a UV-A lamp was conducted at a distance of 72 cm for 30 min. To determine the most appropriate irradiation duration, a UV light-emitting diode generating UV-A of 375 nm was used to irradiate the Gafchromic EBT2 film with varying durations of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min at a distance of 5.3 cm. A 12.7 diameter region of interest was set by the irradiation area, and a histogram of pixel values was created. The condition options were decided based on two important requirements: 1) no zero values of the mode and seconds exist, and 2) the 1/10 value of the mode intersects both histogram sleeves.

In the case of Gafchromic EBT2, the irradiation strength was 85.43 mJ/cm2 for one minute in which the pixel value of mean ± SD was 255.34 ± 213.29. The irradiation duration of 4 min was the border duration of the above two conditions. When a UV ray of 375 nm wavelength is used to irradiate Gafchromic EBT2 as a substitute for x-ray exposure, the 4-min pre-irradiation duration (341.74 mJ/cm2) is demonstrably sufficient.
