Crosstalk between bone and other organs
Authors: Yuan Wanqiong , Song Chunli
Published: September 2022

Bone has long been considered as a silent organ that provides a reservoir of calcium and phosphorus, traditionally. Recently, further study of bone has revealed additional functions as an endocrine organ connecting systemic organs of the whole body. Communication between bone and other organs participates in most physiological and pathological events and is responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis. Here, we present an overview of the crosstalk between bone and other organs. Furthermore, we describe the factors mediating the crosstalk and review the mechanisms in the development of potential associated diseases. These connections shed new light on the pathogenesis of systemic diseases and provide novel potential targets for the treatment of systemic diseases.

Published: September 2022

Butterfly-pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) extract powder is a functional product with numerous benefits obtained by extraction followed by the drying process. During drying, encapsulations can be added to protect the color and antioxidants of the samples. Using visible-near-infrared (Vis–NIR) spectroscopy, this research aimed to detect maltodextrin and soybean protein isolate (SPI) added as encapsulants to butterfly-pea extract powder. Butterfly-pea extract powder were added with 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% concentrations of maltodextrin and SPI. Spectral data were acquired using a Vis–NIR fiber optic spectrometer at 350–1,000 nm. The chemometric methods used were principal component analysis (PCA), PCA-discriminant analysis (PCA–DA), partial least square regression (PLSR), and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The results showed that PCA can discriminate pure and maltodextrin- and SPI-added samples using low principal components. PCA-DA determined the accuracy levels of 88% for maltodextrin and 94.67% for SPIs. The PLSR models predicted the addition of maltodextrin with the following variables: coefficient of determination of calibration (R
c

p
2 of 0.97, RMSEC of 2.72%, and RMSEP of 2.83%. The PLS-DA models resulted in an accuracy of 98 and 91% for the identification of maltodextrin and SPI, respectively. In conclusion, this research showed the potency of Vis–NIR spectroscopy combined with a proper chemometric analysis to detect additives in butterfly-pea extract powders.
“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” – Mesolithic Colonisation Processes and Landscape Usage of the Inner-Alpine Region Kleinwalsertal (Prov. Vorarlberg, Western Austria)
Authors: Posch Caroline
Published: September 2022

The region Kleinwalsertal (Vorarlberg, Austria) represents one of the numerous little-known archaeological areas of the Austrian Alps. Here, over 90 sites were found since the 1980s, including surficial flint scatters as well as excavated sites, mainly attributable to the Mesolithic. Because of its high number of archaeological sites, the Kleinwalsertal is a singular micro-region in the context of the Mesolithic of Western Austria. It is the intention of this article to examine the archaeological landscape Kleinwalsertal and the usage of this habitat during the Boreal and Older Atlantic (11500–7000 BP). To obtain a most complete picture, the sites and their material culture were studied via various methodological approaches. The synthesis of the data aims to answer questions regarding the actual function of the sites as well as landscape usage and mobility patterns throughout the Mesolithic in the study area and its adjacent regions. In addition, the position of the Kleinwalsertal between the Mesolithic traditions of Southern Germany, Switzerland, and Northern Italy is examined. Contacts between these regions are known, yet little is clear about the chronological framework and the ways in which these “borderlands” were occupied. To contribute to international research on this issue, basic and comparable data on the Mesolithic of western Austria are generated. They indicate that the Kleinwalsertal was part of a human network with far-reaching connections, embodying influences from the north, south, and south-west. Thus, it becomes evident that during the Mesolithic there were indeed no mountains high enough to hamper human mobility and possibly contacts.

Transferring knowledge to/from the market – still building the polysystem? The translation of Australian fiction in Romania
Authors: Vîlceanu Titela , Păunescu Anca
Published: September 2022

ThePolysystem Hypothesis, bringing together language, literature, culture and society, has hallmarked Translation Studies, while heralding the cultural turn, subsequently attributed to the study of Bassnett and Lefevere. Without a shadow of doubt, this conceptual and methodological framework continues to spark interdisciplinary research interests, allowing for recasts. In this context, the current article sets out to investigate the translation of Australian writers in Romania, from a diachronic and synchronic perspective alike. The main aims are related to featuring quantitative aspects – number of translated authors, number of translated works, etc., and qualitative dimensions – translation policies, the role of translators in the interlinguistic and intercultural transfer of texts, other controlling factors. Furthermore, the affordability, portability and ownership of literary translation underlie shifting patterns of translation knowledge creation and transfer and of translation effective practice.
FromHealingtoWounding: The Psalms of Communal Lament and the Shaping of Yehud’s Cultural Trauma
Authors: Verde Danilo
Published: September 2022

Biblical trauma studies strongly emphasize that texts and traditions that eventually formed the Hebrew Bible helped both the authors and the (former) “readers” to cope with catastrophic events. This approach, however, leads to side-lining other functions of biblical texts, for instance the extent to which biblical texts were used and transmitted not only to “heal” but also to “wound” the collectivity, namely to shape the collective identity of ancient Israel and early Judaism as profoundly damaged. The perspective of cultural trauma studies may help us to go beyond the “healing hermeneutics.” The present article aims to understand how the psalms of communal lament in Books II and III of the Psalter contributed to make the collective trauma of the Babylonian attack become Yehud’s cultural trauma during the Persian period. It suggests that by building and transmitting a coherent metanarrative of the catastrophe and through the communal laments’ dramatic images and metaphors, the redactors of these portions of the Psalter made sure that during the Persian period the people of Israel in the province of Yehud would be wounded by their ancestors’ pain.

August Sander’s Regional Photobook Series, Nazification, and the Politics of Cultural Landscape
Authors: Shaw Hannah
Published: September 2022

Between 1933 and 1935, as the Nazi regime was codifying its racialized understanding of the relationship between the German people and their land, the photographer August Sander published the cultural landscape series Deutsche Lande, deutsche Menschen (later Deutsches Land, deutsches Volk ). Focusing on the beginning and end of the series, this article charts Sander’s negotiation of the regime’s rhetoric and the fate of his Weimar-era methodology after 1933. It argues that while the photobooks were in dialogue with the changes underway in Germany from the very beginning, they moved closer to the visual culture and political imperatives of the regime as the series progressed. This article complicates simple narratives about Sander’s place in the visual culture of Third Reich Germany.
“Deutsches Holz”: Wood, Wirkung, and the Werkbund in 1933
Authors: Hartzell Freyja
Published: September 2022

In the wake of Germany’s ascension to nationhood in 1871, “deutsches Holz”—the stuff of half-timbered houses, Bierkellers, and three-legged chairs—became the building material of a new nationalist politics. But in 1933, after a decade of modernist innovations in steel, glass, and concrete, wood appealed once more to the German cultural consciousness. Amidst economic depression, social upheaval, and political turmoil, wood felt familiar and trustworthy, warm and reassuring—ubiquitous and cheap. But whose Holz was it? This essay employs wood as both substance and symbol to investigate the entangled crises of the German nation, the German Werkbund, and, in particular, Werkbund leader and architect-designer Richard Riemerschmid, in the teeth of the Nazi propaganda machine.
Psychopompos: Thoth, Plato's Phaedrus, and the Context of Egyptian Mythic Rhetoric
Authors: Ramsey Shawn
Published: September 2022

In Phaedrus, Plato invokes a mythic exemplum concerning the Egyptian deity Thoth. Though often interpreted as an overt critique of writing, this argument posits Thoth is offered analogically to contrast Plato's rhetorical epistemology with that of the ancient Egyptians. To do so, this argument addresses why a mythic Egyptian figure might be so significant to Plato in the 4th Century B.C. Greece, whose culture already had multiple gods and cultural heroes to whom the invention of writing is attributed, when the episode in Phaedrus is axiomatically described as a critique of writing. Because Plato may have had some degree of firsthand knowledge of Egyptian traditions it explores those traditions personified in the figure of Thoth, which should be examined as an analogical device advised by Egyptian rhetorical epistemology. A closer examination of the comparative rhetorical epistemological perspective not only illuminates Thoth's appearance in Phaedrus but also the Egyptian rhetorical-epistemic tradition. Thoth's role as epistemic mediator between humans and truth, in the broadest terms, was to act as psychopomp who moves both between humanity and the arrival at knowledge that prefigures rhetorical action.
“A Confidence as Bold”: The Rhetorical Construction of Evangelical Authority in Hugh Latimer's “Sermon of the Plough”
Authors: Irvin Matthew W.
Published: September 2022

Hugh Latimer's 1548 “Sermon of the Plough” is well-known as an example of early English evangelical rhetoric. However, the sermon has often been considered as an effect of, rather than a participant in, evangelical theology. This article reads Latimer's rhetoric, especially his creation of a persona, as fully theological, using Melanchthon's valorization of rhetoric over logic as a model. Latimer's sermon produces an authority that is not limited to Latimer himself, but serves as a reformation of Catholic notions of the authoritative role of the Church, a role based upon the rhetorically effective presentation of the Bible.
Critical Mass and Critical Representation
Authors: Reilly Caroline Virginia , Wang Junmin
Published: September 2022

Women’s critical mass helps change male-dominated cultures and promote women’s career advancement, but its effects vary across organizational domains and are sometimes constrained by persistent gender structures and power relationships inside and outside workplaces. By analyzing a nationally representative sample of China’s private companies, this study examines how women’s representation, not only in sheer numbers but also in certain powerful positions (e.g., owners or shareholders), affects women’s leadership potential. Despite evidence of positive trends in women’s leadership in the Chinese corporate context, women’s representation has been hamstrung by institutional legacies (e.g., partial state ownership). The effects of women’s representation also differ by industrial sector. Women are more likely to reach senior management in low-tech, labor-intensive industries, where women dominate the workforce, than in industries with higher technological demands, where men dominate the workforce. Women owners or shareholders matter more for the promotion of women CEOs in higher-tech companies. Our study contributes to the literature on gendered organizations by offering insights on how transitional institutional forces and large industrial systems converge and interact with women’s representation to affect their upward occupational trajectory in developing contexts.

Authors: Santana Jackson Henrique Emmanuel de , Rosa Cássio Thyone Almeida de , Krause Maria da Conceição de Carvalho Coelho
Published: September 2022

A Psicologia Forense é uma subárea da Psicologia que se dedica a estudar diversos aspectos de um crime utilizando-se de conhecimentos provenientes da psicologia básica. O quanto o conhecimento nesta área pode auxiliar um perito de local de crime, quando na execução de suas funções, é um importante questionamento feito por diversos especialistas da área forense. A psicopatia é uma das denominações mais importantes em psicologia forense, sendo este distúrbio comumente relacionado com crimes violentos. Muitas características de indivíduos psicopatas podem se refletir na cena do crime através dos denominados Vestígios Psicológicos ou Comportamentais, a exemplo de crimes em série no qual o “serial killer” tende a seguir rituais que se repetem de um crime para outro. Este artigo busca analisar alguns conceitos básicos de psicologia e da psiquiatria forense e associar a importância destes com o trabalho do perito criminal de cena de crime, quando na análise de vestígios comportamentais, e servir como uma fonte de estudo e reflexão para peritos e outros usuários da ciência forense.
Axial loading of different single-pin dowels and effect on withdrawal strength
Authors: Podlena Milan , Hýsek Štěpán , Procházka Jiří , Böhm Martin , Bomba Jan
Published: September 2022

Withdrawal strengths of commercially available hardwood dowels were examined in this work. Multi-grooved dowels with a straight surface pattern and with pre-glued polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) were tested. Additionally, standard dowels with different single- and multi-grooved surface patterns were also tested, which were not pre-glued. Standard dowels were bonded with two types of PVAc and one type of polyurethane (PUR) adhesive. The influence of the type of dowel, the surface pattern, the dowel diameter, and the type of adhesive used on the dowel joint strength were investigated. Lower average strengths were observed for single-grooved dowels with a spiral pattern (4.9 MPa); failures generally occurred at the first or second thread of the spiral groove. For the pre-glued dowels, there were differences in the observed strengths, which depended upon how the PVAc adhesive was activated. Lower withdrawal strengths were noted for the pre-glued dowels when they were activated by dipping them in water (3.0 MPa) versus adding water directly to the pre-drilled holes (4.7 MPa to 5.4 MPa).

Published: September 2022

The objective of this study was to determine the preferences of architects for wood and wood products for specific applications and to assess the attributes that influenced its utilization in the construction sector in Peninsular Malaysia. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 500 practicing architects throughout Peninsular Malaysia, with a response of 27%. The application of wood and wood products by architects was focused primarily on non-structural applications rather than structural applications. It was found that cost, customer demand, durability, natural beauty, availability, ease of design, and workability were primary considerations for architects in specifying wood and wood products in building construction. A factor analysis of the results showed that building regulations, material quality and beauty, customer demand, and design and assembly were the primary determinants that influence architects specifying and using wood and wood products in building construction. It was apparent that the use of wood and wood products in building construction in Peninsular Malaysia has the potential to be further increased through advertising and marketing in the material among the general public, as well as architects and specifiers.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of sample preparation including variation in moisture content and particle size on the accuracy of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy models developed to predict Klason lignin, total lignin, and holocellulose in wood. Seventy-five samples of sawdust obtained from a eucalyptus plantation were divided into aliquots and submitted to three different treatments: traditional (TRAD), large particle dried at room temperature (LPRT), and large particle oven-dried (LPOD). The influence of sample preparation method on models’ accuracy was compared by statistical analysis. Overall, grinding to a larger particle size and drying at room temperature (treatment LPRT) did not decrease the accuracy of the prediction models when compared to the TRAD sample preparation method. These findings were more evident for Klason lignin and holocellulose. This is relevant because resources used for sample preparation (i.e. grinding and drying) can be minimized, which is expected to reduce the costs associated with analysis of wood properties by NIR.
Effect of Thermo-Vibro-Mechanic® Densification Process on the Gloss and Hardness Values of Some Wood Materials
Authors: Şenol Süleyman , Budakçı Mehmet
Published: September 2022

This study aimed to determine the gloss and hardness values of low-density wood materials densified using the Thermo-Vibro-Mechanic® (TVM) method after pretreatment with wood stain and wood preservative. This was carried out with a TVM density press that was designed and produced with the support of project 115O138 of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK). The samples obtained from Uludağ fir (Abies bornmüelleriana Mattf.) and black poplar (Populus nigra L.) were pretreated with wood stain and wood preservative prior to the TVM densification process. The TVM densification operation was conducted at three different temperatures, three different vibration pressures, and three different vibration times. After the TVM densification process, changes in the gloss (ISO 2813 2014) and Brinell hardness values (TS 2479 1976) of the samples were determined. According to the results, the TVM densification method increased the gloss value of the Uludağ fir and black poplar wood pretreated with the wood preservative by 175% and 1390%, respectively, and increased the Brinell hardness value by 63% and 150%, respectively.

Purpose. The development of marine aquaculture in the Black Sea is relevant and promising for many reasons, as stated in the decisions and documents of national organizations in the region and the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). Turbot is one of the most valuable ﬁsh marketed in seaside countries of the Black Sea as well as in the European Union. Various aspects of the biology of turbot have been investigated yet.Butunfortunately, surveillance procedures for listed diseasesandanalysis of the possibility its prevention and spread have not been provided. Therefore, in this study, in order to evaluate the data on viral diseases of turbot in Ukraine, in 2020 a field survey in free-living Black Sea turbot (Scophthalmus maeoticus) in the northern parts of Black Sea and Sea of Azov was carried out. Methodology. Before sampling all fish were observed for the external lesions, measured from snout to tail length and of total length and weight. Sampling included pooled internal organs, gills and brain. Cell culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods were used to identify viral diseases. Findings. An external fish examination did not reveal any sign of disease. The internal organs, as well as the gills, were in good condition and had appropriate color, shape and without any pathological changes. All tested samples were free of IPNV, VHSV and VNN viruses as was determined by the methods of cell culture and PCR. The cytopathic effect (CPE) on cells was not observed after the first and the second blind passages. Using the RT-PCR method, we did not identify any of the viruses we were looking for. Originality. This was the first attempt to screen turbot viral diseases in the Ukrainian waters of the Black and Azov Seas. Practical value. In future the permanent surveillance of viral diseases in turbotin accordance with the EU strategy on animal health allows to prevent the outbreaks and develop new approaches for the diagnostic tests in purpose to study the ecology of pathogens in different areas. Key words: turbot, the Black Sea, viral diseases, cell culture, PCR.
Uma leitura linguística e teológica de Mc 10,46-52

Published: September 2022

Este estudo é uma análise do relato de Mc 10,46-52, a cura do cego Bartimeu, o qual cumpre uma função literária no itinerário do conjunto narrativo de Mc 10. A cegueira é o recurso linguístico típico para expressar teologicamente a falta de entendimento da missão de Jesus. Para demonstrar isso, o autor vale-se de uma série elementos linguísticos, que têm função comunicativa e levam seus leitores a compreender o processo de maturação do discipulado. O artigo apresenta a raiz semântica de alguns termos que desempenham uma função comunicativa no relato, tradução, o uso do AT, crítica textual e um ensaio para uma leitura linguística teológica. A análise valoriza o estudo diacrônico, fazendo uma interface com os estudos sincrônicos e análises intertextuais. Ao empregar o termo “ὁδός/caminho”, no início e no fim do texto (vv.46.52), o autor o faz de modo consciente e coerente para marcar e evidenciar esse processo de iluminação, caminho pelo qual deve percorrer todo discípulo. A comunidade acolhe o mandato do Mestre e se torna a grande mediadora, responsável pela condução do percurso que será o itinerário de iluminação para cada seguidor, conforme se percebe na perícope, com seu estilo narrativo próprio.

Primeiramente, vai buscar no Evangelho segundo João um aporte bíblico, que percebe verdade no horizonte da graça, da Cristologia e da relacionalidade-comunicação. Em um segundo momento, analisa a interpretação de Lutero a Gálatas 2, em 1531/5, na tripla perspectiva indicada. Finalmente, volta-se para o desenvolvimento moderno da Teologia luterana/protestante e reflete sobre a maneira como ela lidou com os três aspectos indicados pelo evangelho e apropriados por Lutero.
A revisão dos títulos papais
Authors: Dias Tiago Cosmo da Silva
Published: September 2022

O artigo tem a finalidade de propor uma revisão em alguns dos títulos com os quais a Igreja se refere ao papa, tais como bispo de Roma, sumo pontífice e vigário de Cristo, para investigar se, efetivamente, ainda dizem algo acerca do modus operandi et vivendi do ministério petrino hoje. A análise mostra-se importante porque, para a reforma do papado pedida, inclusive pelos próprios papas (UUS 95; EG 32), esta revisão pode ser um primeiro passo a se dar, visto que, partindo-se da perspectiva de que o papado é uma construção, nem sempre foi como é hoje e, portanto, no futuro pode ser diferente.
Being no one, being One: The role of ego-dissolution and connectedness in the therapeutic effects of psychedelic experience
Authors: Kałużna Ada , Schlosser Marco , Gulliksen Craste Emily , Stroud Jack , Cooke James
Published: September 2022

Background and aims

Despite promising findings indicating the therapeutic potential of psychedelic experience across a variety of domains, the mechanisms and factors affecting its efficacy remain unclear. The present paper explores this by focusing on two psychedelic states which have been suggested as therapeutically significant in past literature: ego-dissolution and connectedness. The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of ego-dissolution and connectedness on the therapeutic effects of the psychedelic experience.

Methods

The investigation was carried out as a mixed methods systematic review, with the data from four databases analysed thematically and results presented through narrative synthesis.

Results

The analysis and synthesis of findings from 15 unique studies (n = 2,182) indicated that both ego-dissolution and connectedness are associated with a higher chance of improvement following a psychedelic experience. However, there seem to be differences in the way the two experiences affect individuals psychologically. Ego-dissolution appears to trigger psychological change but does not typically exceed the psychedelic experience in its duration, while connectedness can be more sustained and is associated with several positive, potentially therapeutic feelings.

Conclusions

Moreover, the findings of this review have implications for further theory-building about the mechanisms which enable therapeutic effects in psychedelic experience. This in turn might lead to improved models for psychedelic therapy practice. Emphasis on ego-dissolution during the preparation phase and on connectedness during integration is one suggestion presented here, alongside overarching implications for the mental health debate and general practice.

Similarity of materials and data-quality assessment by fingerprinting
Authors: Kuban Martin , Gabaj Šimon , Aggoune Wahib , Vona Cecilia , Rigamonti Santiago , Draxl Claudia
Published: September 2022

Identifying similar materials (i.e., those sharing a certain property or feature) requires interoperable data of high quality. It also requires means to measure similarity. We demonstrate how a spectral fingerprint as a descriptor, combined with a similarity metric, can be used for establishing quantitative relationships between materials data, thereby serving multiple purposes. This concerns, for instance, the identification of materials exhibiting electronic properties similar to a chosen one. The same approach can be used for assessing uncertainty in data that potentially come from different sources. Selected examples show how to quantify differences between measured optical spectra or the impact of methodology and computational parameters on calculated properties, like the density of states or excitonic spectra. Moreover, combining the same fingerprint with a clustering approach allows us to explore materials spaces in view of finding (un)expected trends or patterns. In all cases, we provide physical reasoning behind the findings of the automatized assessment of data.

Impact statement

To predict novel materials with desired properties, data-centric approaches are in the process of becoming an additional fundament of materials research. Prerequisite for their success are well-curated data. Ideally, one can make use of multiple data collections. Bringing data from different sources together, poses challenges on their interoperability which are routed in two out of the 4V of Big Data. These are the uncertainty of data quality (veracity) and the heterogeneity in form and meaning of the data (variety). To overcome this barrier, universal and interpretable measures must be established, which quantify differences between data that are supposed to have the same meaning. Here, we show how a spectral fingerprint in combination with a similarity metric can be used for assessing spectral properties of materials. Our approach allows for tracing back in computed as well as measured data, differences stemming from various aspects. It thus paves the way for automatized data-quality assessment toward interoperability. Based on this, in turn, materials exhibiting similar features can be identified.

Towards organic electronics that learn at the body-machine interface: A materials journey
Authors: Roh Heejung , Cunin Camille , Samal Sanket , Gumyusenge Aristide
Published: September 2022

It has been over four decades since organic semiconducting materials were said to revolutionize the way we interact with electronics. As many had started to argue that organic semiconductors are a dying field of research, we have recently seen a rebirth and a major push towards adaptive on-body computing using organic materials. Whether assisted by the publicity of neuroprosthetics through technological giants (e.g., Elon Musk) or sparked by software capabilities to handle larger datasets than before, we are witnessing a surge in the design and fabrication of organic electronics that can learn and adapt at the physiological interface. Organic materials, especially conjugated polymers, are envisioned to play a key role in the next generation of healthcare devices and smart prosthetics. This prospective is a forward-looking journey for materials makers aiming to (i) uncover generational shortcomings of conjugated polymers, (ii) highlight how fundamental chemistry remains a vital tool for designing novel materials, and (iii) outline key material considerations for realizing electronics that can adapt to physiological environments. The goal is to provide an application-guided overview of design principles that must be considered towards next generation organic semiconductors for adaptive electronics.

Examining the Family in the Light of Marriage Annulment as a New Research Perspective
Authors: Kroczek Piotr , Kisiel Przemysław , Ulman Paweł
Published: September 2022

The aim of this article is to outline a new research perspective, allowing for an in-depth reflection on the condition of contemporary marriages and families. Of course, the problem itself is not new, but in order to analyse it, we propose to adopt a perspective which has not been present in the literature so far and which will consist in analysing the condition of the institution of marriage through the prism of the process of declaring a marriage null and void, i.e., the canonical procedure in force in the Catholic Church.The proposed research perspective is based on an interdisciplinary approach, taking into account the broad context in which, in our opinion, the functioning of the contemporary institution of marriage should be considered. In this approach we try to integrate sociological and demographic premises and inspirations with legal, theological and canonical premises, which is a significant novelty. The integration of these approaches will make it possible to consider the problem of the break-up of the marital bond in a different way than has been presented so far. Thanks to this, it is possible to make a comprehensive diagnosis of the situation of marriages in moments of crisis and to capture those aspects of spiritual and social life which have not yet been taken into account in the research, and which play a particularly important role in initiating proceedings to declare a marriage null and void.
18. Yüzyıl Babür Dönemi Minyatüründe Burak: Kutsal Dört Yön Simgeselliği

Hz. Muhammed’in bir gece Mescid-i Haram’dan Kudüs’e yani Mescid-i Aksa’ya gidişini (İsra) ve oradan da göğe çıkarıldığını betimleyen Mirac sahnelerinde, İslam Peygamberin biniti olduğu düşünülen Burak temalı tasvir, çeşitli hayvan uzuvlarından meydana gelmiştir. Kompozisyon gerek biçim gerek içerik itibariyle kültürel formların tek bir kompozisyon oluşturma özelliğiyle yeni tarzlar ve biçimler üretebilme imkânı sağlayan sanatsal bir karşılaştırma deneyimi sunmaktadır. Bu karşılaştırma aşamasında üslubun yalnızca genetik bir gelişme göstermediği aynı zamanda farklı kültürel formların da nasıl bir arada olma kritiğini ortaya koyabilme sorusuna da açıklık getirebilmektedir. İslam sanatında tasvirlerine sıkça rastladığımız, Mekke'den Kudüs'e gece yolculuğunda Hz. Muhammed'i göklere taşıyan bir yaratık olan Burak konulu çalışmaların, XVIII. yüzyıl Babür dönemi minyatürlerinde de örneklerini görmekteyiz. İsra olarak adlandırılan bu yolculuk, Hicri takvimdeki en önemli olaylardan biri olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmamızın içeriğini teşkil eden Burak temalı tasvir, XVIII. yüzyıla tarihlendirilen Deccani sanatçısı tarafından betimlendiği, künye bilgisinden anlaşılmaktadır. Hint Deccan sultanlığı dönemi, saray atölyelerinde üretilen çalışmaların, lokal olarak anatomik fizyonomiyi taşımakla beraber, kültürel ve sanatsal dokuyu Türk Müslümanlığı etkisi altında sürdürmüş olduğu mitolojik veya fantastik hayvan tasvirlerinin biçimsel nitelikleriyle ayırt edilebilmektedir. Burak temalı kompozisyon kadın başlı, aslan vücutlu Türklerde kutsal dört yön unsurları veya figür elemanlarını ihtiva eden İslam ikonografisinde kutsal temalarda yeniden canlandırılan tabiatüstü bir varlık olarak betimlenmiştir. Burak ile ilgili tasvirlerin Osmanlı ve Babür dönemi örnekleri karşılaştırıldığında, coğrafya ve etkileşimli din ve inanç faktörlerine paralel benzerliklerin dışında farklılıkların da olabileceği anlaşılacaktır. Makale metni, Burak temalı tasvirin kozmopolit bir biçim anlayışı ile sembolik ifadelerin seçilebildiği Türk İslam ikonografisinde kutsal temalarda, eski Türk inancına ait kültürel belleğin kutsal dört yön unsurları veya figür elemanlarını ihtiva eden yapının, izlenimlerin aktarıldığı ve kültürlerin birleşmesini gösteren bir anlayışın açıklaması üzerinde durulacaktır.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze colorectal cancer mortality trends in women in Brazil and its regions and states. Methods: ecological, time-series study with trend analysis of deaths caused by colorectal cancer in women in Brazil and its regions and states between 2008 and 2019. Polynomial regression was used to treat the data. Results: 48,225 deaths of women caused by colorectal cancer were examined. There was an increasing mortality trend in Brazilian women, with regional differences that resulted from socioeconomic, political, and cultural inequalities. The South Region stood out with the highest rate (7.32) in 2008, which increased to 8.65 in 2019, followed by the Southeast Region, whose rates were 6.72 and 9.05 in 2008 and 2019, respectively. Conclusions: colorectal cancer mortality increased, which indicates the need to expand public policies oriented toward screening and early diagnosis of colorectal cancer in women.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the implications of health conditions on rural workers’ quality of life in the context of soybean production. Method: a cross-sectional study, with an intentional sample of 299 male rural workers. Data collection took place between October and December 2019. The following instruments were used: World Health Organization Quality Life-bref; Rural Workers’ Living & Health Conditions questionnaire; International Physical Activity Questionnaire; Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, and Eye-opener. They were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics, using bivariate (Mann-Whitney; Kruskal-Wallis) and multivariate tests (generalized additive models for location, scale and shape). Results: the presence of a diagnosis of morbidity, alcohol dependence, occupational accidents and absenteeism implied a decrease in workers’ quality of life scores. Conclusion: the existence of unfavorable health conditions has a negative impact on rural soybean workers’ quality of life.
Composições de pessoas e mundos na cosmopolítica afro-religiosa: a rede de relações no agenciamento das comidas dos orixás
Authors: Favaro Jean Filipe , Corona Hieda Maria Pagliosa , Ramos João Daniel Dorneles
Published: September 2022

Resumo: Este artigo tem por objetivo compreender de que modo os alimentos são agenciados na cosmopolítica afro-brasileira. Etnografias foram realizadas no terreiro Abaça de Oxalá, dirigido pelo Pai Aldacir, desde 2016. As discussões, que aqui apresentamos, advêm das diferentes formas e categorias do coletivo afro-religioso em agenciar as “comidas dos orixás”. A necessidade de nutrir, regularmente, as potências cósmicas é entendida pelo conceito de obrigação, que assegura vitalidade e saúde à pessoa, às entidades e a toda corrente do terreiro. As composições do padê, do sacrifício de animais, do cuidado com as quartinhas, dos ebós e de outros modos nos quais alimentos compõem o fundamento da cosmopolítica afro-religiosa, estão vinculadas às concepções dos orixás, bem como de corpo e território, em suas múltiplas associações.
