Eric Weil e o (não)sentido de um mundo moldado pela ciência
Authors: Castelo Branco Judikael
Published: August 2024

Este artigo analisa, com base na obra de Eric Weil, as condições históricas para o surgimento e a evolução da ciência moderna, refletindo sobre o seu sentido para a nossa civilização. Dividido em três partes distintas, o texto começa investigando as circunstâncias históricas que deram origem à ciência moderna e o seu progresso até se tornar a base do “sonho cartesiano”. Em seguida, examina o paradoxo inerente à concepção moderna de ciência, destacando sua suposta “neutralidade axiológica”. Esse paradoxo é evidente quando a liberdade da ciência em relação a considerações de valor é ela mesma considerada um valor fundamental. Nesse contexto, deve-se reconhecer, simultaneamente, a importância da ciência para o controle da natureza e da história e a sua insuficiência para lidar com a questão do sentido desse domínio. Por fim, o texto aborda as reações comuns ao desafio do sentido da ciência: o cientificismo e o negacionismo científico. Este último argumento é desenvolvido no quadro da relação entre filosofia e ciência.

Many existing studies have considered the factors influencing review helpfulness, mainly focusing on reviewer impact, review informativeness, and managerial response, based on signaling theory. However, previous studies have simply regarded these factors as independent signals, thus ignoring their in-depth transmission and reception processes. The conclusions about the impact of reviewers on review helpfulness are also inconsistent due to the inaccurate measurement of variables. To fill the above gaps, we followed the signaling timeline theoretical framework used in signaling theory and employed a bootstrapping analysis to examine how reviewer impact, review informativeness, and hotel managerial responses interact to influence review helpfulness. In this study, we used a unique dataset that included official labels from one leading online travel agency. The results show that reviewer impact may affect review helpfulness sequentially through review informativeness and hotel managerial response. Furthermore, by using official labels, both reviewer expertise and reviewer experience significantly affect review helpfulness. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

Wat gebeur wanneer skepe die windverwaaide suidpunt van Afrika teen die helfte van die 17de eeu aandoen en hulle ’n maritieme diensstasie ontwikkel? Wat gebeur wanneer hierdie mense die Christelike geloof saamdra en aan Cabo de Bona Esperança beoefen en uitleef? Die boek vertel hierdie verhaal opnuut uit die oorspronklike bronne. Watter mense was dit wat die Bybel saamgebring het? Wat het hulle gesing, gebid, geglo? Aan watter weergawe van die Christendom is destyds voorkeur gegee? Die geskiedenis word dikwels beskryf asof God en geloof nie saak maak nie en eintlik weglaatbaar is. Die boek gee ’n ander perspektief. Die samehang van geskiedenis en godsdiens is opgespoor en beskryf. Vir almal wat vandag met die omstrede verlede en met mekaar saamleef.

¿Culpa lata dolo aequiparatur en las cláusulas limitativas de responsabilidad?
Authors: Torre de Silva y López de Letona Javier
Published: August 2024

El presente estudio examina si la culpa grave equivale al dolo a efectos de la posible no aplicación de las cláusulas de limitación de responsabilidad contractual, muy frecuentes en los contratos de compraventa de activos o sociedades. Con una metodología cercana a la jurisprudencia de intereses, se sostiene que la solución no tiene por qué ser la misma en el caso de exclusión completa de responsabilidad contractual por culpa grave (que es el supuesto más estudiado por la doctrina que acepta la equiparación) que en el caso de mera limitación de dicha responsabilidad. Se estudian los antecedentes históricos de la cuestión, así como el resultado del análisis económico del Derecho en este punto, incluyendo la posibilidad de aseguramiento (seguros de manifestaciones y garantías y seguro de responsabilidad contractual incluyendo cobertura de culpa lata). Se analiza el significado que tiene la equiparación que –a ciertos efectos específicos– se establece en distintos artículos del Código Civil o en la legislación del transporte terrestre, así como en Derecho comparado. Se sostiene la tesis de que con carácter general es lícito limitar convencionalmente la responsabilidad contractual por culpa grave entre empresarios.
Ematuria e proteinuria
Authors: Scaramuzzino Fabiola , Burlo Francesca , Delcaro Giulia , Peinkhofer Martina , Sutera Marco , Persia Sabrina , Emma Francesco
Published: August 2024

Proteinuria and haematuria are common findings in children. However, they are indicative of a renal or urinary condition only in a minority of cases. The probability of an underlying disease causing haematuria and /or proteinuria increases when they are associated and in the presence of symptoms that suggest kidney damage, such as oedema, hypertension, or kidney failure. Transient and orthostatic proteinurias are benign conditions that do not require further investigations. Proteinuria should always be investigated when constant or heavy. If patients present with nephrotic syndrome, oedema and hypoalbuminemia, proteinuria is always pathologic. Tubular proteinuria should always be ruled out, in particular in male subjects with persistent proteinuria. Haematuria can be glomerular or non-glomerular and may present as gross haematuria or can only be detected microscopically. Macroscopic haematuria should always be investigated as it may be associated with benign conditions (fever, exertion, dehydration, nutcracker syndrome), but also with several conditions such as glomerular diseases or urolithiasis. The urine colour, the urinary sediment, the morphology of red blood cells, kidney function, the presence of proteinuria and the medical history help in the differential diagnosis. On the other hand, microscopic haematuria should be investigated only when persistent or if there is a positive family history. This paper presents 5 illustrative cases to highlight the above points.

Published: August 2024

Hyperhomocysteinemia may cause concern to the paediatrician due to its correlation with increased cardiovascular risk. In paediatric age, the most common cause is a nutritional vitamin deficiency, particularly vitamin B12 or folate, which can be found in subjects who follow a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet or one devoid of animal-derived foods for socioeconomic, cultural, or religious reasons. Hyperhomocysteinemia is not uncommon in infants born to mothers with vitamin deficiency and such condition can lead to their neurodevelopmental impairment. Genetic causes are rare. Therefore, a correct diagnostic and therapeutic approach is essential, so that to allow the paediatrician to identify and manage most cases of hyperhomocysteinemia in the outpatient setting, as well as to recognize the red flags for severe disease that require a specialist evaluation.

En este artículo se realiza un análisis comparativo de espacios y circuitos de mú- sica de tango actual en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y sus alrededores, tomando en cuenta sus características estructurales y la experiencia de sus actores, poniendo el foco en el circuito independiente. Para esto se utilizan distintas técnicas de investigación cualitativa, como análisis de registros generados durante el trabajo de campo etnográfico, entrevistas en profundidad, observación participante y charlas informales. Se concluye que el circuito independiente, en la práctica, se intersecta y solapa en varios puntos con los otros, si bien existen características específicas que lo distinguen. Por un lado, se caracteriza por la pluriactividad de sus actores y la ausencia de un salario definido, por otro, encontramos una serie de valoraciones subjetivas vinculadas a la categoría de “independiente” que circulan entre los artistas. En esta investigación se exploran sus múltiples connotaciones, que son surcadas por una serie de conflictos y acuerdos tácitos que operan al mismo tiempo a nivel económico, estético y moral.

Post-Electoral Violence and National Development in Nigeria
Authors: Badmus Bidemi Gafar
Published: August 2024

Election is generally accepted in all climes of the world as the hallmark of democracy. Political scientists and development theorists link free, fair and credible elections to democratic governance, peace and development. In brief, they argue that free, fair and credible elections provide the basis for the emergence of democratic, accountable and legitimate governments with the capacity to initiate and implement clearly articulated development programmes. Again, they claim that free, fair and credible elections empower the electorate to hold the government accountable and to demand strong credentials and feasible development agenda from prospective government officials. In other words, free, fair and credible elections bestow on governments the legitimate authority to, on one hand, initiate and implement policies; while on the other hand, they empower thecitizens to hold governments accountable for their actions and/or inactions. Credible elections are,therefore, sine qua non for democratic governance, political stability and national development

Authors: Oyinloye Micheal Abiodun
Published: August 2024

Esie Museum in Kwara State is the oldest national museum in Nigeria and it is reputed to have the largest collection of soapstone images across Africa. The soapstone images and other materials in the museum stand out as a unique art tradition of Nigeria that must be preserved against deterioration or total breakdown so that ancient civilization would not be forgotten. In order to preserve these cultural objects, proper caring methods and techniques must be followed to guarantee the long lifespan of the collections. It is against this background that the study examines the essence of conservation of the soapstone images in the National Museum, Esie. It also examines National Museum, Esie's collections and the challenges of conservation. Data for this study were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary source draws from fieldwork which includes physical observation of the objects in the museum, oral interviews with the purposeful key informants, such as the curators and the conservators in the museum, as well as the traditional ruler of Esie community. The secondary sources were collected from existing literature, such as textbooks, journal articles and protagonists in the subject matter. Findings of the study reveal inadequate care and maintenance of the cultural heritage in this museum. Subsequently, the study suggests a need to improve the facilities and equipments at the museum, so as to guarantee the well-being of objects kept in the museum.
Development of an Automatic Scissors Screw Car Jack
Authors: Ajayi Arinola Bola , Adeyinka Musiliu Olalekan
Published: August 2024

In this paper, an existing manual scissors screw car jack was converted to an automatic scissors screw car jack by introducing a sleeve coupling between the manual screw jack and a 12V DC electric motor, which is powered through a direct current energy flow directly from the car battery. The DC electric motor provides a turning effect to automatically power the screw jack for the purpose of lifting the desired load. A screw jack (manual or automatic) is a simple machine used in lifting heavy loads. It becomes very useful in vehicles when changing a punctured tire. It is mandatory for each vehicle plying an approved road to carry a jack for fixing a punctured tire. However, the operation of most car jacks is done manually and also requires prolonged bending or squatting positions when using the jack, making it difficult for most women, the disabled, the elderly, etc., and above all, not ergonomically suitable for the human body due to crouching and squatting positions when in use, which may result in health complications. The automatic scissors car jack developed was successfully tested on five different types of vehicles, with different weights. Five different tests measurements were carried out on each vehicle. The time taken to lift the vehicles 0.03 m off the ground was recorded. They ranged from 74 s to 90 s depending on the weight of the vehicle involved. The heavier the vehicle, the longer the time taken to lift the vehicle off the ground to the predetermined height of 0.03 m.
Improvement of the mechanical performance of Portland cement concretes through the addition of nanostructured carbonate material
Authors: Duart Marcelo Adriano , Arsand Daniel Ricardo , Hlenka Lucas , Laporta Luciane Varini
Published: August 2024

The mechanical performance of construction materials depends on their structural integrity and therefore deficiencies cause changes in their properties or characteristics. The use of composite materials has shown that it is possible to improve properties or even create characteristics by incorporating nanostructured carbonate materials into the cementitious matrix of structural concretes. Simple concretes are characterized by low tensile strength, and this can be improved by incorporating materials with a high modulus of elasticity. The incorporation of carbonate materials such as graphene can be an alternative since such materials have tensile strength up to 100 times greater than steel. In this research, concrete specimens produced with the addition of nanostructured carbonate materials were prepared and compared with the control material (without carbonate material). Analyzing the tensile strength, it was found that concretes produced with 5% addition of carbonate materials had higher tensile strength than the control concrete (without carbonate addition) and that the addition of 2% carbonate material was not effective for improving the mechanical tensile strength. The results demonstrate the increase in the compressive strength of the specimens produced with 5% addition of carbonate material. It is concluded that the addition of carbonate materials can be an efficient alternative to solve mechanical strength problems in Portland cement concretes for structural purposes.

The study evaluated open spermatic cord ligation as an alternative method of castration in dogs. Three Nigerian indigenous puppies were randomly selected (identified as SL1, SL2 and SL3) and used for the study. They underwent the same surgical procedure. Blood samples of the experimental puppies were taken daily for 3 days, pre-surgery. Additional blood sampling was at 24 hrs post-surgery, and, subsequently at 48 hrs interval for 3, 2, and 1 week(s) in SL1, SL2, SL3 respectively. Sera samples were harvested from the blood samples. At weeks 3, 2 and 1, the testicles of the puppies were harvested for macroscopic and microscopic evaluations. The puppies were physically examined daily throughout the study period. Serum testosterone concentration of the puppies was determined using ELISA kit. The pre-surgical values ranged from 0.1ng/mL-0.5ng/mL before the surgery and declined to 0ng/mL 24 hrs post-surgery. Gross appearance of the testicles showed atrophy of the testicles. Testicular histopathology showed distortion of germ and supporting cells due to ischaemic necrosis, which was more evident in SL1 followed by SL2, and then SL3. It was concluded from this study that the procedure was effective, minimally invasive, simple and fast.

In recent years, the focus on improving well-being through natural solutions, such as dietary adjustments to improve the composition and functionality of the microbiota, has gained prominence. This study explored the effects of a zinc-enriched postbiotic of whole-cell yeast strains (Saccharomyces boulardii ABB S3, Kluyveromyces marxianus ABB S8, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ABB S6) on metabolic health and gastrointestinal well-being in resistance-training individuals. Over a 30-day period, 18 participants who experienced gastrointestinal discomfort and were not using other dietary supplements underwent evaluation. The intervention aimed to assess changes in serum zinc levels, protein metabolism indicators, and gastrointestinal health, using a repeated measures design for comprehensive data analysis. Results showed a significant increase in serum zinc levels and improvements in protein metabolism markers, alongside reduced gastrointestinal discomfort. These findings underline the efficacy of zinc-enriched postbiotic supplementation in enhancing metabolic health, and suggest that such targeted nutritional interventions can significantly benefit exercise performance and general well-being. The study's outcomes support the potential of incorporating postbiotics into dietary strategies for health maintenance, offering a promising direction for future research in nutritional science and the management of exercise-induced gastrointestinal symptoms.

The study aimed to evaluate the morphological changes in erythrocytes following the administration of various solutions. Patients who underwent mitral valve (MV) replacement were divided into three groups: the first group received Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), the second received gelatin solution (4% succinylated gelatin solution), and the third received 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Blood samples were collected at 90 minutes, 24, and 48 hours post-resuscitation (ICU), and before discharge. Healthy patients' blood served as the control. The express technique of the "thick drop" (EMTD) was used to assess erythrocyte shape shifts, measuring the ratio of normal and pathological forms within 10-15 minutes using a DN-300M microscope. Before using the solutions, the pathological forms of erythrocytes were significantly higher in all groups compared to the control group. The control group had over 89.8% discocytes, while the number significantly decreased in MV patients pre-operation. Post-treatment with HEC and Gelatin solution, the number of discocytes increased slightly, whereas the third group (sodium chloride) showed no significant change. The number of echinocytes and stomatocytes varied across the groups, with the third group showing minimal improvement. The findings indicated that HEC and gelatin solution improved the ratio of discocytes to pathological forms better than sodium chloride. The most promising plasma-stimulating agents for surgical patients, particularly those with heart disease, are colloids and balanced crystalloid solutions. Their composition closely mimics blood plasma, providing optimal hemodynamic stability and tissue perfusion, thus supporting better postoperative recovery and critical care management.
