Authors: Joseph Asha , Ramanarayanan Venkitachalam , Venugopal Krishnan , Prabath Singh V. P. , Dhruvan Kavitha , Sagar Krishna
Published: June 2022

Background:

The field of endodontics is greatly evolving with the brisk entry of not just new materials but also numerous technology-based advances. Factors governed by the practitioner such as the canal preparation technique, the disinfection regimes followed, the standard of obturation, and the quality of coronal and apical seal all in turn greatly influence the prognosis of the endodontic treatment.

Objective:

To assess the attitude concerning the materials and techniques used during endodontic treatment among the endodontists in Kerala.

Materials and Methods:

An online questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was done among endodontists in Kerala. The questionnaire assessed several key aspects of endodontic practice. A comparison was made based on the nature of practice and years of practice.

Results:

A total of 165 responses were obtained. A high percentage of participants (>75%) routinely employed preoperative radiographs. A combination of apex locators along with radiographs was most preferred for working length determination, and calcium hydroxide was the most preferred root canal sealant. Almost half of the endodontists did not use any form of magnification.

Conclusion:

Despite several booming advances in technology, endodontists still do not strictly follow the implementation of important regimes such as the incorporation of magnification or use of a rubber dam in their practice, which still needs to be meticulously incorporated into practice, which would raise the standards of clinical practice.
Psychodermatology

Published: June 2022

Psychodermatology is a specialty that highlights admix between psychiatry and dermatology. It is emerging as a new subspecialty in dermatology. The skin and central nervous systems are related through their common embryonic origin – ectoderm. They also have common neuromodulators, peptides, and biochemical systems of internal information. Psychiatry is more focused on the internal invisible symptoms, and dermatology is focused on the external visible signs. This connection between skin disease and psyche has unfortunately been underemphasized. Increased pathophysiological understanding of these issues, with biopsychosocial approaches and clinics of psychodermatology would be highly beneficial. Multicenter research such as prospective case–controlled studies and therapeutic trials about the association of skin and psyche can provide more insight into this unexplored and exciting field of medicine.
Written descriptions versus photographs in dermatological case reports
Authors: Karaman Bilge Fettahlıoğlu
Published: June 2022

Background:

Images are essential for dermatology. However, if a photograph has poor quality, it causes problems in conveying information.

Objectives:

This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of photographs in a part of the current literature.

Methods:

One hundred and eighteen written descriptions and their related photographs were extracted from 89 articles selected from the journal Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine. Frequencies and confidence intervals (CIs) of mentioning 11 features, namely location, side, amount, distribution, dimension, figure, edge, color, touch perception, subjective symptom, and elementary lesion, in the written descriptions were calculated. The photographs were also evaluated to detect features other than touch perception and subjective symptom. Fifty articles randomly selected from five high-impact journals were also reviewed.

Results:

Touch perception and subjective symptom were mentioned only in 35.6% and 46.6% of the written descriptions, respectively. Distribution and edge were distinguishable in the photographs only in half of the cases, however other features in more than 90%. According to multinomial CIs, the written descriptions were superior only in terms of location, whereas the photographs were superior in terms of side, distribution, dimension, figure, edge, and color. Some features, such as touch perception and subjective symptom, were mentioned less frequently in the reviewed articles of the high-impact journals.

Conclusion:

The contribution of the photographs to the written descriptions in case reports was clear. However, the low rate for determining sharpness of edges in the photographs was a sign indicating low-quality images. In conclusion, the present study and similar studies will guide more efficient usage of developing image modalities for online publication in dermatology.

Authors: Nalawade Komal , Sarda Aditi Subhashchandraji , Dogra Binny , Hundiwale Prachi , Khan Ramiz , Handa Amit
Published: June 2022

The strength of the bond between the bracket and the enamel surface depends on three factors, namely, the retention mechanism of the bracket base, the adhesive material or bonding resin, and the preparation of the tooth surface. Commonly used adhesive systems employ an enamel conditioner, a primer solution, and an adhesive resin to bond the orthodontic brackets to the enamel surface. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different enamel conditioning techniques for bracket bonding.

Published: June 2022

Context:

Maize silk (Zea mays) is used in traditional medicine to treat high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. It is also used as an immunostimulant but few scientific studies are available to validate these properties.

Aims:

The aim of this study was to scientifically validate the traditional use of maize silk in the regularization of lipid profile and blood glucose level.

Material and Methods:

Hydroalcoholic extract of maize silk (HAEMS) was prepared by decoction (30:70 Water-Ethanol) from the dry powder of corn silk (250 g/L). Hyperglycemia was induced by repeated single daily subcutaneous injection (s.c) of dexamethasone (5 mg/kg); dexamethasone negative control group (DNC) received dexamethasone exclusively throughout 14 days while negative normal control group (NNC) received only vehicle during the same period. Positive control group (glibenclamide) and plant extract groups (50 and 100 mg/kg) received dexamethasone from the eighth day and each group consisted of six animals. All the parameters (fasting blood glucose level, TC, HDL, LDL, VLDL, atherogenic index (AI) and TG) were measured on the first, seventh and fourteenth day of the experiment. Lipid profile was performed using a BIOLABO® Kit and fasting blood glucose level was measured using a glucometer VivaCheck™ Ino.

Results:

Compared to the DNC group, HAEMS significantly reduced (P<0.001) on days seven and fourteen, fasting blood glucose level, TC, LDL, VLDL, artherogenic AI and TG (on day seven). In addition, only the dose of 50 mg/kg significantly increased serum HDL on the seventh (P<0.01) and fourteenth day (P<0.001).

Conclusion:

The results obtained in this study suggest that HAEMS have hypoglycemic and antihyperlipidemic properties.

Authors: Sethi Prativa Priyadarshani , Jatteppanavar Basavraj , Kant Ravi , Pathania Monika , Bairwa Mukesh Chand
Published: June 2022

Background:

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a known complication in diabetes patients but often remain underdiagnosed because of lack of proper investigation and long asymptomatic period. The study aimed to assess the spectrum of cardiac autonomic neuropathy prevailing among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients visiting a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods:

The study was conducted as an observational cross-sectional study among the type 2 diabetes patients visiting the diabetic clinic. A total of 60 participants were included in the study, including both males and females, over one month. A cardiac autonomic neuropathy system analyser, manufactured by the Diabetik Foot Care India Pvt Limited (DFCI), Chennai (CANS 504), was used to screen for cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN).

Results:

A total of 60 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the participants was 55.72 ± 12.62 (Mean ± SD). 38 (63.3%) of the participants were male, and 22 (36.7%) were Female. Early CANS dysfunction was seen among 21 (35.0%), Moderate CANS dysfunction in 9 (15.0%) and definite CANS dysfunction in 29 (48.3%) patients and only one patient had normal CAN study.

Conclusion:

CAN is a common microvascular complication highly prevalent among diabetes patients and may remain asymptomatic until an advanced stage, so screening of type 2 diabetes patients must be done at the time of diagnosis.
Evaluation of Diabetic Neuropathies
Authors: Varma Amit , Sharma Kapil , Sharma Sumita
Published: June 2022

Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem globally that increases the economic burden of every country. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2021, 1 in 10 adults are living with diabetes. About 352 million adults have uncontrolled glycemic profiles worldwide. Diabetes is likely to affect 552 million people worldwide by 2030. Diabetes and its complications are emerging as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Diabetes neuropathies are estimated to affect approximately 50% of people suffering with diabetes. Neuropathy, the most prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, includes distal symmetric polyneuropathy, radiculoplexus neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, mononeuropathy, and treatment-induced neuropathy. Early diagnosis and appropriate management of diabetic neuropathy are essential to alleviate disabling symptoms and to improve the quality of life of patients. This review discusses clinical manifestations and evaluation of diabetic neuropathies as well as appropriate objective tests helpful in diagnosing diabetic neuropathies.

Published: June 2022

Background:

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus that strongly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and early CAN in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Materials and Methods:

The study was conducted on 60 patients with T2D, divided into two groups; group I included 30 patients with T2D complicated with DR and group II included 30 patients with T2D not complicated with DR. All participants underwent a detailed medical history, examination and laboratory measurements including, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR). CAN was determined based on the results of tilt-table test which was done to all study participants.

Results:

On comparing tilt table test positive results of group I and group II, the results showed a significant difference between both groups (P = 0.004), being higher in group I (43.33% of group I were tilt table test positive) than in group II (only 10% of the group were positive). In group I, on comparing patients with positive tilt table test (CAN) and those with negative tilt table test (without CAN) regarding fundus findings, the results showed that 69.23% of patients with positive tilt table test had proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and 30.77% had non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), while in patients with negative tilt table test, 17.65% had PDR, and 82.35% had NPDR, the odd‘s ratio was 10.5 (P = 0.007). Regression of determinants for the presence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in patients with T2D showed that, the increased duration of diabetes (P = 0.010) and the increased level of UACR (P = 0.001) were significantly associated with CAN in type 2 diabetic patients.

Conclusion:

DR is a strong predictor for CAN. So, fundus photography may be an alternative to autonomic function testing where facilities for the latter test are unavailable.

Published: June 2022

Introduction:

Co-infection with different agents such as bacterial, viral, and Rickettsia is being increasingly recognized due to greater availability and utilization of the diagnostic tests among malaria patients.

Methods:

Consecutive admitted malarial cases were included and were subjected to test for general investigations, bacteria, typhoid, dengue, chikungunya, and rest for specific diagnosis. All patients were followed up till discharge or death and appropriate statistical tests were performed.

Results:

A total of 152 malaria patients were recruited and 27 (18.8%) had concurrent infections. It included 40.7% dengue only, 18.7% pneumonia, 11.1% urinary tract infection (UTI), 7.4% enteric fever, 3.7% leptospirosis, chikungunya, and tuberculous meningitis each, and 3.7% each of dengue with pneumonia and UTI. The organisms isolated were Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The mean duration of fever was 6.33 ± 3.63 days with a range of 3–20 days. Blood culture grew in 2 cases S. typhi and K. pneumonia,e. Dengue co-infections had significantly higher clinical and laboratory features of dengue and complications such as bleeding, jaundice, and cholecystitis, whereas rest concurrent infections had a significantly higher proportion of nausea and vomiting, convulsion, altered sensorium, productive cough, urinary symptoms, shock, acute kidney injury, anemia, and mean neutrophil count. There was significantly higher mortality among malaria–dengue concurrent infection group with 2 (15.4%) than malaria mono-infection group 3 (2.4%).

Conclusion:

Co-infections with malaria are not uncommon, especially dengue fever and other bacterial infections. The dominant clinical picture is of the superimposed infection. Decision should be clinically guided adjunct with specific diagnostic tests, and timely treatment has favorable outcome.

Published: June 2022

Aim:

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in carcinoma breast results in tumour downstaging and provides the opportunity to modify treatment based on response. Pathological complete response (pCR) is considered predictive of favourable long-term outcomes. The objective was to identify clinicopathological factors associated with pCR in breast cancer and disease-free survival (DFS).

Subjects and Methods:

Clinicopathological details of 106 breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy were retrospectively analyzed. The statistical analyses were performed using the Chi-square test by SPSS software (version 18.0). Pvalues were considered statistically significant when <0.05.

Results:

The median age of the patients was 53 years. The overall pCR rate was 23.6%. From univariate analysis, a significant rate of pCR was detected in tumours with high grade or high Ki-67 scores (P = 0.001, P = 0.019), respectively. 29 patients relapsed of which 21 were distant metastasis. On Kaplan–Meier method analysis, statistically significant factors associated with decreased DFS were high Ki 67 and lymphovascular invasion positivity. Distant metastasis occurred in 4 patients with pCR and 19 patients without pCR. The 5-year DFS rate was 84% versus 69% in patients with pCR and without pCR, respectively.

Conclusion:

A higher rate of pCR was obtained with neoadjuvant therapy in tumours with high grade or Ki-67. Longer DFS is achieved by obtaining pCR with ideal neoadjuvant selection.
Неавтономные векторные поля на сфере $S^3$: простая динамика и дикое вложение сепаратрис
Authors: Grines Vyacheslav Zigmuntovich , Lerman Lev Mikhailovich
Published: June 2022

Строятся новые содержательные примеры неавтономных векторных полей на трехмерной сфере, имеющих простую динамику, но нетривиальную топологию. Построение опирается на две идеи: теорию диффеоморфизмов с диким вложением сепаратрис и конструкцию неавтономной надстройки над диффеоморфизмом. В результате получаются периодические, почти периодические и даже нерекуррентные векторные поля, имеющие конечное число особых интегральных кривых, обладающих экспоненциальной дихотомией решений на прямой $\mathbb R$, среди которых одна седловая интегральная кривая (с типом дихотомии $(3,2)$) имеет двумерное неустойчивое дико вложенное многообразие и дико вложенное трехмерное устойчивое многообразие. Все остальные интегральные кривые стремятся к этим особым интегральным кривым при $t\to \pm \infty$. Также строятся неавтономные векторные поля, обладающие $k\ge 2$ специальными седловыми интегральными кривыми с ручным вложением их двумерных неустойчивых многообразий, образующих умеренно дикие пучки в смысле Дебруннера-Фокса. В случае периодических векторных полей соответствующие особые интегральные кривые являются периодическими с периодом векторного поля и являются почти периодическими в случае почти периодического векторного поля.

Published: June 2022

The virus (Ebola virus) (EBV) belongs to the Filoviri-dae family which is a filovirus and is a serious disease which  leads to hemorrhagic disease in human and non human such as chimpanzee, gorilla, porcupine, fruit bats etc. In  this paper, a mathematical modeling for the population dynamics of EBV diseases in the presence of vaccination  was developed. The research shows that, using the human control reproduction number ( Rc )as response and  infectious individual as response function, that the sensitive parameters in the formulated system (1) are the  personal hygiene (ε ), humans to human contact rate ( β1 ), modification parameter (η ), human vaccination rate ( ρ ), proper burial (φ ) and humans natural mortality rate (μh ). The study shows that personal hygiene rate, effective  contact rate of humans, natural mortality of humans’ rate, vaccination rate and proper burial rate are very sensitive  to both reproduction number and infectious humans.
The Symbol of the Mask
Authors: Alcántara Carrera Julio Martín
Published: June 2022

The Zapatista Indigenous Movement from Chiapas, Mexico is an example of the anthropological dynamics between the visible and the invisible in Western culture and the possible revolution of perceiving reality as such since they had to cover their faces with masks in their rebel anti-system movement in order to be considered as having the same dignity as other human beings: they performed a revolutionary act that changed the symbolic order of the visible by the public exhibition of their colonial submission. The mask gave them a face, disrupting the order of the visible with uncanny faces. In this article, a nondual model is proposed to capture the inessential ground of the given composed of endless perspectives in continuous transformation by the generation of ontological novelty: an open cognitive horizon of symbolically empty points of view irreducible to one perspective. For Krishnamurti, the revolutionary act is to see without an image in order to phenomenologically attend to things as they are beyond the known and the unknown such as Stilinovi? and Malevich pursued the dissolution of symbolic representations through art for the transformation of human reality.

"Brake wear is well recognized as one of the dominant sources of traffic-induced particulate matter emissions. A first standardized measurement methodology is currently being developed by UNECE's Particle Measurement Program. The approach is based on isolated single brakes on dedicated brake test beds, where the test conditions can be tightly controlled. However, the actual real-world emission behaviour of a brake system is influenced by many changing factors depending on the vehicle and a multitude of surrounding conditions. This makes real driving emissions measurement of brake dust a highly relevant but also very challenging task, considering minimal impact of the measurement setup on the emission behaviour. In this paper, we show the design of a novel brake particle sampling system with minimal influence on the thermal behaviour of the brake, supported by numerical simulation studies. The proposed setup covers only part of the brake disc on one side and allows for installation with minimal interventions at the brake mount and rim. The particle-collecting grommet and the sampling line were carefully designed to minimize larger particle losses. The sampling system was implemented in a commercial passenger car and equipped with particulate matter measurement instruments, closely following the ongoing standardization for brake dyno emission testing. Repeated real driving tests on a test track were successfully performed with different sampling flow rates. The results demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach, indicating promising particulate matter collection efficiency with sufficiently high sampling flow. "

Moving towards more environmental-friendly brake systems requires the mass and number reduction of their emissions. Moreover, limiting the emissions eco-toxicological behaviour is an additional strategy to reduce their environmental impact. This can be reached by increasing the overall dimensions of the emitted particulates as well as by suitably tailoring their chemical composition. As far as the latter point is concerned, sound understanding of both the chemical modifications occurring at the tribological interface and the emissions chemical composition is needed. Furthermore, to achieve reliable eco-toxicological assessments of specific braking pairs, the reproducibility of the chemical composition of their emissions has to be verified as stable and constant at least over the time and the testing sites. Therefore, this work proposes a first example of inter-laboratory assessment of the chemical composition of emissions generated by brakes. More in detail, the same friction couple composed by a standard grey cast-iron braking disc and a standard copper-free ECE R90 friction material is tested at the dynamometric bench in two different testing laboratories over the same braking cycle (WLTP). The generated PM10 emissions are then collected by the mean of suitable sampling lines and analyzed for both their elemental and phase composition, respectively by the mean of Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Finally, the emissions compositional results are compared to evaluate their variability level. Notably, the results shown in the contribution represent a first example of inter-laboratory assessment of the chemical composition of the emissions generated by brakes, thus widening the field of standardization also to the chemistry of such emissions.

Иконная живопись и оклад составляют общий комплекс, нередко единовременный с живописью. В утилитарном смысле оклад служит чехлом, сохраняющим живопись от повреждений. Статья обозревает темперные окладные иконы конца XVIII – начала XX века в собрании Приморской картинной галереи. Предложена их группировка по особенностям оформления окладов, которая имеет существенное значение в экспозиционной работе музеев. Рассмотрены особенности икон с басменными, шитыми, выполненными под влиянием стилей барокко и классицизма окладами, иконы-«подокладницы» и иконы с врезным крестом. Поднят вопрос об эстетическом взаимодействии элементов скульптуры, графики, живописи иконы и ее оклада.

Icon painting and oklad (“covered” or “a riza”) forms the overall appearance, often simultaneous with painting. In a utilitarian sense, the covered preserves the painting from mechanical and corrosive damage. The article presents the covered icons of the late 18th – early 20th centuries in the collection of the Primorye State Art Gallery. The author proposed their grouping according to the peculiarities of riza’s design, which is of significant importance in the exposition work of museums. The features of icons with basma rizas, embroidered rizas, rizas made under the influence of Baroque and Classicism styles, riza-covered icons and icons with a mortise cross are considered. The study also raises the question of the aesthetic interaction of the elements of sculpture, graphics, painting of the icon and its setting.
A questão racial e o preconceito de cor em São Domingos-Haiti (1789-1794)
Authors: Logis Berno
Published: June 2022

O processo revolucionário haitiano 1791-1804 foi marcado, dentre outros fatores, por vários movimentos de reivindicação por direitos políticos e sociais. No âmbito colonial eles se deram nas lutas contra o trabalho escravo, enquanto entre os sujeitos, os conflitos internos opuseram negros e os chamados mestiços. A desigualdade racial e o preconceito de cor parecem constituir as premissas do colonialismo e da escravidão nessa antiga colônia francesa da América. Jean-Jacques Dessalines, um dos líderes da Revolução Haitiana, exteriorizou, na constituição de sua autoria, publicada em 1805, preocupação quanto a esse aspecto. A historiadora Rogers Dominique concede à questão racial um lugar preponderante na história do Haiti e a considera como critério de diferenciação, não somente nas relações políticas e econômicas, mas sobretudo nas relações sociais. Hannibal Price e Gérad Barthélemy já haviam destacado que a hierarquia social durante a escravidão em São Domingos seguiu critérios claramente raciais: brancos eram senhores, ou seja, superiores, enquanto negros eram escravizados, portanto, inferiores. Uma estrutura que limitava e definia as condições sociais com base na cor da pele não europeia como uma marca indelével, uma fronteira. Em vista disso, este artigo pretende analisar a problemática da questão racial e do preconceito de cor, suas construções e seus desdobramentos durante o período de 1789-1794.

Authors: Dovio Mariana A
Published: June 2022

Este trabajo describe las principales características de los dispensarios de lactantes que funcionaron dentro de la Dirección Municipal de Protección a la Primera Infancia en Buenos Aires desde principios del siglo XX. Fueron espacios donde se llevaron a cabo prácticas sanitarias, de educación, asistencia social e investigación clínica. Estudiamos discursos de publicaciones donde fueron registradas actividades de los dispensarios como Anales de la Sociedad de Puericultura de Buenos Aires y Anales de Biotipología, Eugenesia y Medicina Social entre 1935 y 1945. Los dispensarios habrían sido un dispositivo, noción recuperada de Michel Foucault, como conjunto heterogéneo de discursos - científicos, filosóficos, filantrópicos y morales - y de prácticas, instituciones y disposiciones arquitectónicas. Los mismos funcionaron como una red con objetivos estratégicos que se concentraron, principalmente, en la preservación del binomio madre e hijo y luego en el núcleo familiar.

Investigation of Wing Forms Through Mass and Wing Area Chart
Authors: DURMUŞ Seyhun
Published: June 2022

The wing loading parameter depending on the wing area and weight and the aspect ratio parameter, which is the wing shape factor, are the main parameters that determine the fixed-wing flight mechanics. In this study, the relationship between wing forms and flight style of 195 bird species was evaluated using wing area and mass scatter plot. The slope of the mass and wing area chart is proportional to the 1/wing loading. The results showed that birds with more wing area per unit mass tended to perform unpowered flight styles such as soaring and gliding; and birds with less wing area per unit mass tended to have powered flight styles, such as flapping and hovering. In general, it has been found that the slope of the trendline curve is more inclined tended to expend more energy in flight. Unlike the fixed-wing flight mechanics, hand-wings and arm-wings should also be examined to understand the flight mechanics of flapping wings as different effects occur during flapping flight in terms of the lift and thrust forces. In addition, scythe-shaped wings differ from high-speed wings in terms of the ratio of hand wing length/arm wing length according to their wing structure.
The Effects of Some Priming Applications on Seed Quality Parameters in Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Seeds Under Different Doses of NaCl Stress
Authors: SARIYER Tolga , KAYA Çağlar
Published: June 2022

Salinity of irrigation water and soil-based salinity is an important problem. Priming is an application that increases the germination rate by keeping the seeds in distilled water or different aqueous solutions for a certain period of time. Ipsala variety melon (Cucumis melo L.) seeds obtained from Manisa Kırkağaç region were used in the study to determine the effects of different NaCl stress and priming applications on seed quality. Melon seeds subjected to different priming applications were germinated in pure water (0 mM NaCl) and salt stress (140 mM NaCl) conditions. In the study, herbal origin thyme (Origanum vulgare L. subsp. hirtum), sage (Salvia officinalis L.) applications as well as KNO3 (50 mM) and pure water applications were included as priming applications. In the study, it was determined that increase in the germination rate (%) and germination time (day) parameters which are important quality parameters in seeds, were more pronounced with priming applications. Priming with using sage and thyme plants were more effective respectively in increasing seed quality parameters.

Published: June 2022

Drought and salinity are among the most important abiotic stress factors. Although there is a growing interest to the sustainability of fruit growing in arid and salty areas, there are not enough studies. Therefore, this study was carried out for the determination of the effects of harpin protein at different salt concentrations in Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) seeds. At the end of the treatment, there was a 20% decrease in plant height, 43% in root length, and approximately 40% in fresh and dry plant weight. Superoxide dismutase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase antioxidant enzyme activities increased by 171%, 285% and 390%, respectively. In addition, the amount of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and chlorophyll a+b (respetctively, 47%, 42%, 43%) was decrease. In addition, it was determined that harpin applications protected the chlorophyll content related to photosynthesis, increased the diameter of the stem and root and decreased the stress enzyme activities. Thus, applications of harpin protein may be beneficial to increase tolerance to drought/salinity stresses in pistachio plants, especially in the early stages of seedling development. These findings may pave the way for future research on stress management in sustainable fruit growing in arid and semi-arid areas.

Published: June 2022

Teori mengenai kerusakaan total (Total Depravity) telah menjadi perdebatan menarik di antara para sarjana injili. Tidak ada teori yang cukup memuaskan tentang deskripsi kerusakan gambar dan rupa Allah dalam diri manusia karena dosa. Para sarjana teologi sistematik telah mendeskripsikan beberapa pandangan mereka tentang gambar dan rupa Allah. Sebaliknya, beberapa sarjana tidak meneliti tetang hubungan gambar dan rupa Allah dengan dosa manusia.  Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan bagaimana menyatukan teori imago Dei dengan dosa yang dilakukan oleh manusia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis literatur. Penelitian ini juga mengkaji hasil pustaka yang telah dihasilkan oleh para ahli teologi sistematik dan antropologi Kristen. Melalui pengamatan terhadap teori para ahli dan memberikan sintesis terhadap teori imago Dei dengan keberdosaan manusia. Mengacu pada pandangan relasional, ditemukan bahwa merusakan hubungan antara Allah dan manusia. Kerusakan hubungan ini menyebabkan rusaknya aspek atributif, spiritual dan fungsional. Pemulihan gambar dan rupa Allah dalam teologi Kristen harus dipahami sebagai pemulihan hubungan, bukan sekedar pemulihan atribut Allah dalam diri manusia.The theory of total depravity has been an interesting debate among evangelical scholars. There is no satisfactory theory about the description of the corruption of imago Dei in man due to sin. Scholars of systematic theology have described some of their views on imago Dei. On the other hand, some scholars do not examine the relationship of imago Dei to human sin. This study describes how to unite the theory of imago Dei with sins committed by humans. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a literature analysis approach. This study also examines the literature that has been produced by systematic theologians and Christian anthropologists. Through observing the theories of experts and providing a synthesis of the theory of imago Dei with human sinfulness. Referring to the relational view, it is found that it destroys the relationship between God and humans. Damage to this relationship causes damage to the attributive, spiritual and functional aspects. Restoration of the imago Dei in Christian theology must be understood as a restoration of relationships, not just the restoration of God's attributes in humans.
fidelidade à Torá como garantia da posse da terra:
Authors: Eloi Rodrigues Márcia
Published: June 2022

O presenta artigo propõe-se a discorrer sobre a hipótese de que o livro de Josué, em uma releitura pós-exílica, modifica a perspectiva triunfalista da conquista da terra para uma leitura “nomista”, que acentua a observância da Lei de Moisés como condição de êxito da conquista. Apresentamos, então, no tópico 1, o tema do livro de Josué: a terra doada por Deus em sinal de sua fidelidade às promessas feitas aos antepassados; terra doada, mas conquistada pelo povo sob a liderança de Josué. No entanto, essa “conquista” da terra é relativizada no interior do próprio livro a partir de acréscimos de redator pós-exílico que transformou o guerreiro Josué em rabino respeitoso da Torá. Essa é, pois, a temática desenvolvida no tópico 2, que discorre sobre a hipótese de uma releitura “nomista” do livro de Josué proposta pela escola de Göttingen (Smend). A partir dessa chave de leitura, no tópico 3, analisa-se os dois textos, Js 1,1-9 e Js 23,1-16 a fim de corroborar a tese apresentada por Smend. Constata-se, então, que a perspectiva delineada nesses dois discursos, uma vez postos no início e no final do livro de Josué, orienta a leitura deste livro na ótica da fidelidade à aliança, mediante o cumprimento da Lei de Moisés.
função dos “ossos de José”:
Authors: Fernandes Leonardo Agostini
Published: June 2022

Js 24,32 atesta o repouso definitivo dos ossos de José que foram transladados do Egito por Moisés (Ex 13,19), cumprindo a ordem que fora dada pelo filho primogênito de Jacó com Raquel antes de morrer (Gn 50,25). A dinâmica subjacente a esse percurso tange duas questões. Na primeira, encontra-se a proibição de se tocar em um morto ou em ossadas (Nm 19,11-16; Lv 21,1-4). Na segunda, encontram-se as diferenças de interpretação segundo a corrente Sacerdotal (Nm 20,12-13; 27,12-14 + Dt 32,48-52) e a corrente Deuteronomista (Dt 1,37-38; 3,23-29), no que diz respeito à “punição” sobre Moisés, visto que YHWH não lhe permitiu entrar na terra de Canaã. Diante desses impasses, o presente artigo analisa os textos que se referem aos ossos de José e reflete sobre essas questões, a fim de propor uma hipótese alternativa para a não entrada de Moisés em Canaã, justificando as razões para atribuir tal feito a “José”, através do seu descendente, Josué, filho de Nun da tribo de Efraim. No presente artigo, articulado com introdução, três partes e considerações finais, foram adotadas abordagens diacrônicas e sincrônicas.
Sl 148 analisado à luz da Análise Retórica Bíblica Semítica
Authors: Gonzaga Waldecir , Gonçalves Eliseu Fernandes
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo tem a finalidade de analisar o Salmo 148 a partir Método da Análise Retórica Bíblica Semítica. Destaca-se a estrutura do salmo, em especial os paralelismos, a partir das técnicas exegéticas de Roland Meynet. A estrutura de um texto em paralelismo é uma construção textual muito comum no mundo oriental que valorizava as ideias e não necessariamente as rimas. De fato, a Retórica Semítica não é igual à Retórica Grega ou Latina. A Retórica Semítica tem vida própria, formas e estruturas, as quais podem ser vistas ao decorrer deste artigo. O Salmo 148 é considerado um salmo de louvor cósmico, mais precisamente, louvor aleluiático cósmico. Toda a criação é convocada, em todas as instâncias, junto com Israel, a louvar a YHWH, o Deus criador. Sua estrutura está perfeitamente tecida de tal forma que se percebe claramente sua unidade sintática e temática, exalando sua riqueza teológica. Assim, faz-se necessário debruçar-se sobre teóricos como Roland Meynet e outros que anteriormente se dispuseram a estudar essa fenomenal estrutura do texto bíblico a partir da Retórica Semítica a fim de melhor compreender a riqueza e a beleza deste salmo.
Religião e Literatura
Authors: Mesquita Eryton
Published: June 2022

O presente estudo busca comparar e discutir a relação entre a arte e a religião através de dois textos, a Bíblica Sagrada e a literatura canônica brasileira. Esta pesquisa se utiliza da teoria da intertextualidade de Genette entre a bíblia e a obra literária de Esaú e Jacó feita por Machado de Assis. Busca-se também como aporte a teoria literária, para compreender como distintas linguagens podem se cruzar em uma mesma construção poético-narrativa, em concordância com a pesquisa de Conceição sobre a obra de Marc Chagall. Ou seja, a reconstrução de uma narrativa, exemplificada com personagens da Bíblia e os irmãos gêmeos machadianos Pedro e Paulo, com conflitos familiares tão iguais aos personagens do título da obra. Este “espelho literário” é revisitado diversas vezes durante a narrativa. Sendo assim, comparando ambas, percebe-se que há ressignificações poéticas por meio do aproveitamento estético do livro de Gênesis 15 feito pelo autor brasileiro.
sacerdócio de Cristo e o sacerdócio da Igreja
Authors: Nascimento Hugo dos Santos
Published: June 2022

O sacerdócio é verdadeiro dom de Deus à humanidade; dom esse dado Igreja como participação no sacerdócio do próprio Cristo. Por isso, compreender a origem, a natureza e a missão do sacerdócio é fundamental para uma identificação mais consciente com esse mesmo Cristo e com a salvação que ele concede. Para tanto, é necessário fazer um percurso, que passa pela compreensão do sacerdócio no Antigo Testamento, pela sua realização plena em Cristo e pelo legado sacerdotal confiado à Igreja, povo sacerdotal. No Antigo Testamento não havia, inicialmente, uma figura sacerdotal institucionalizada, ocorrendo isso apenas quando Deus escolheu a tribo de Levi para o serviço litúrgico. No Novo Testamento o sacerdócio encontra a sua plenitude em Cristo, sacerdote não segundo a ordem de Levi, mas segundo a ordem de Melquisedec; isto é, seu sacerdócio é sem começo, sem fim, universal. Toda a Igreja participa desse sacerdócio. Porém, é desejo do mesmo Cristo que haja um sacerdócio ministerial, adquirido pela Ordem, que não se opõe ao sacerdócio comum dos fiéis, adquirido pelo Batismo. Esse sacerdócio ministerial é encarregado do serviço do povo de Deus, pelo exercício do seu tríplice múnus: ensinar, santificar e reger.
“I veer about between hope and despair”: Utopian Visions in Victorian Sensation Fiction
Authors: MacDonald Tara
Published: June 2022

The following article questions what role the present moment can play on in our scholarship on Victorian popular fiction. More specifically, it argues that the feelings of lost or strange time associated with pandemic living find resonance in Victorian sensation novels. The genre is invested in describing the state of ‘the meantime,’ a period that is a mix of stasis and progress when one waits, wastes time, or meanders. This also describes the period when one is waiting for social change to occur. The article then situates sensation fiction within Victorian ideas about utopias, focusing especially on feminist utopias. It suggests that sensation novels present utopian visions, glimmers or partially realised forms of utopian existence, which are characterised by female opportunity, care communities, and happiness. Finally, case studies of two novels by Wilkie Collins, Man and Wife (1870) and The Fallen Leaves (1879), are presented to demonstrate how Collins crafted utopian visions for how to survive life in the meantime.
“Challenging the Divisions between Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Sarah Grand: Conceptions of Authorship in The Beth Book (1897) and The Infidel (1900)
Authors: McKenzie Helen
Published: June 2022

In The Beth Book (1879) and The Infidel (1900), Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Sarah Grand employed fictional writers to question professional authorship, confront contemporary social discourses, and participate in the literary fashion which pervaded fin-de-siècle fiction. As this article demonstrates, looking in depth at the resonances between The Beth Book and The Infidel sheds new light on the complex interrelation between these famous authors, their novels, and across the wider Victorian literary marketplace. The unlikely pairing disrupts the divisions that can still interrupt Victorian literary studies and hamper the critical work done in isolation on Braddon and Grand. The Beth Book and The Infidel, and their fictional authors Beth Maclure and Antonia Thorburn, are a conscious choice to enter the conversations pervading and shaping the social and literary spheres. Through their careers, Braddon and Grand may speak to their readerships in markedly differing styles and time frames but their fictional depictions of the decisions, barriers, and opportunities faced by women writers, including the New Woman, provide a fresh perspective from which to examine these influential women writers’ place in the social and literary spheres.
