Transformative Psychopharmacology: the Case of 5-Methoxy-N,N-Dimethyltryptamine
Authors: Hesselink Jan M Keppel , Hesselink Jan M Keppel
Published: January 2019

Since the 2nd part of last century neo-shamanic rituals using mind-altering extracts from plants or animals have become increasingly popular in Europe and the USA. The first rituals coming to the west were based on drinking a special Amazonian tea, Ayahuasca, based on 2 different plants, with active compounds belonging to the class of the beta-carbolines (harmala alkaloids) and tryptamines. The use of such compounds will be described from the perspective of the transformative psychopharmacology: that part of psychopharmacology studying the use of psychoactive compounds to achieve a new balance, a transformation or healing and sometimes even leading to a cure. Examples of curing are meanwhile well documented, for instance the positive influence on drug abuse and addiction, alcoholism. The importance of the healing aspects of these rituals however are often neglected or overlooked. For users, these are key however. As medicine becomes more and more personalized and postmodern, it will be relevant to understand why patients and healthy people decide to participate in healing rituals based on psycho-active compounds. We will present the pharmacology, the transformative psychopharmacology, the effects and adverse events of 5-methoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) and its place in postmodern medicine.

Published: January 2019

Neste trabalho, propomos demonstrar, a partir da análise da definição de alguns dicionários e de um teórico da Lexicografia, como o termo locução vem sendo conceituado.  Para isso, partimos de um dicionário de língua latina, de um de Linguística e de alguns dicionários de língua geral (de diferentes épocas). Em seguida, por tratar-se também de nossa área de estudos, discutimos o conceito de locução, com base nas contribuições do lexicógrafo Julio Casares Sánchez, uma das grandes referências sobre o tema, nos estudos fraseológicos. Notamos que essas obras lexicográficas, em alguns momentos, aproximam a sua definição ou ao que se refere à pronúncia, ou tendem a uma classificação gramatical e/ou lexical. Todavia, sempre se remetem às locuções como um agrupamento de palavras.  Casares, por sua vez, a respeito dessas unidades, as conceitua também como uma combinação estável de duas ou mais palavras pertencentes ao âmbito da oração, mas salienta que seu significado provém da soma dos significados contidos em seus componentes.

The aim of the paper was to develop a device (“pin-on-disc” type) for the measurement of friction in plane friction couplings with sliding movement. On tribometric device (made in our laboratory) we can measure the friction force, friction coefficient and wear, for different loading conditions, speeds, time and material coupling.

For the measurement of the frictional force as well as of the coefficients of friction, mainly the method with a resistive tensiometric transducer is used. With a DataQ DI 245 data acquisition board it is possible to record up to 2 kHz frequencies in the range of -10 ÷ +10 mV with a resolution of 13 bits. To test the functionality of the device, a preliminary test was carried out for a steel pin- on- cast iron disc, for different values of the normal pushing force. The device was calibrated and the measurement results were recorded and processed on the computer.

The Gift of Volunteering
Authors: Compion Sara , Cliggett Lisa
Published: January 2019

Foreign aid to southern Africa has triggered the growth of a nonprofit sector that increasingly provides welfare and social support for needy populations. However, largely absent from research on this sector are substantive analyses of the contribution of voluntarism and interpersonal exchange to broader welfare development and social cohesion. This paper employs theories of gift exchange to analyze volunteer practices and localized interpretations of volunteering within the welfare structure of post-colonial Pretoria, South Africa, and Lusaka, Zambia. The analysis of ethnographic data pertaining to within- and between-group volunteering reveals particular patterns of “gifting,” which enable many southern Africans to overcome social divides, to strengthen existing bonds, and to fill gaps in the provision of basic public services. We conclude that volunteering succeeds as a form of welfare distribution precisely because of how actors frame their efforts as a gift—ensuring enduring social-relational dynamics and continued social service delivery.

This article examines the existence, role, and practice of Art for Children (AFC) Yogyakarta as a community art center for children in Yogyakarta. Due to its cultural and educational setting, the children’s art center serves as an alternative for non-formal art education. The data were gathered by the passive participant observation, in-depth interview, and document review and analyzed by using the interactive model. The research results in four things. First, the establishment of the Art for Children (AFC) meets the needs of the self-actualization of both the artists and the parents in nurturing children’s art. Teaching art to children becomes the honorable way for the artists to reach his self-fulfillment as artists as well as members of a society and, on the other hand, engaging their children’s in the art center is the responsibility for the parents to fulfill their aesthetic needs and to support their children’s education. Second, the lesson emphasizes the process rather than the result; it is oriented to the development of art educational values rather than artistic skills. The training process involves collaboration between the artists and the parents. The artists engage the parents in active participation of guiding the children. Third, through this strategy the children have produced original and creative drawings and paintings worthwhile for children’s aesthetic education and cultural activity in the city.

Published: January 2019

The relational database is defined as the database by connecting between tables. Each table has a collection of information. The information is processed in the database by using queries, such as data retrieval, data storage, and data conversion. If the information in the table or data has a large size, then the query process to process the database becomes slow. In this paper, Genetic Algorithm is used to process queries in order to optimize and reduce query execution time. The results obtained are query execution with genetic algorithm optimization to show the best execution time. The genetic algorithm processes the query by changing the structure of the relation and rearranging it. The fitness value generated from the genetic algorithm becomes the best solution. The fitness used is the highest fitness of each experiment results. In this experiment, the database used is  MySQL sample database which is named as employees. The database has a total of over 3,000,000 rows in 6 tables. Queries are designed by using 5 relations in the form of a left deep tree. The execution time of the query is 8.14247 seconds and the execution time after the optimization of the genetic algorithm is 6.08535 seconds with the fitness value of 0.90509. The time generated after optimization of the genetic algorithm is reduced by 25.3%. It shows that genetic algorithm can reduce query execution time by optimizing query in the part of relation. Therefore, query optimization with genetic algorithm can be an alternative solution and can be used to maximize query performance.

Published: January 2019

Expert system is computer programs that mimic the thought process and expert knowledge in solving a particular problem. Basically, an expert system has various methods to diagnose various kinds of diseases experienced by humans, animals, and plants. This research analyzes the comparison of Certainty Factor method and Bayes Probability method in the expert system of Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) diseases. Both methods have the same basic theory of overcoming uncertainties with existing variables. The Certainty Factor method has many variables that are used as systematic knowledge, namely the weight value of the expert which is the basis of knowledge of the system and the user input weight value, while the Bayes Probability method uses only expert knowledge in the calculation. Based on a comparative analysis of the methods obtained with 10 patients data on the ENT disease expert system, the Certainty Factor method has accuracy in diagnosing the disease by 100%, while the Probability Bayes method of system accuracy is 80%. So it can be concluded that the Certainty Factor method is more accurate in diagnosing ENT than the Bayes Probability method.

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, iç denetimin Türkiye’deki gelişimini gözlemlerken, aynı zamanda iç denetim mekanizmalarının küresel boyutta geçirdiği evrelerle de bu gelişimin etkileşimini incelemektir. Bu nedenle, akademisyenlerin, enstitülerin (IIA), iç denetim işini fiilen yapan kişilerin ve kurumların literatüre farklı açılardan bakmalarını sağlaması ve teori ile uygulama kapsamındaki faaliyetleri karma bir şekilde değerlendirmesi bakımından, çalışma ayrı bir önem taşımaktadır. Küresel ölçekteki iç denetim faaliyetlerinin dünden bugüne nasıl şekillendiği, temel nedenler ve varsayımlar ile yapılan literatür incelemelerinin ışığında derinlemesine bir yaklaşım ile araştırılmıştır. Örneğin, tarihte iç denetim faaliyetlerinin kökleri milattan önce üç bin beş yüz yılına kadar uzanmaktadır. Öte yandan, iç denetimin Türkiye’deki geçmişi ise, on altıncı yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun muhasebe kayıtlarını kontrol etmesine kadar dayanmaktadır. Daha sonraları, 1860 yılında Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Mektup ve Telgraf Hizmetleri için ilk denetim birimi kurulmuştur.    Sonuçta, Türkiye, son yıllarda pek çok alanda bir değişim ve gelişim sureci içine girmiş ve özellikle mali sistem alanında gelişmiş ülke düzeyine ulaşabilmek için gerekli yasal ve yapısal değişimleri gerçekleştirmek için büyük çaba sarf etmektedir. Bu durum, iç denetim alanında da sonuçlarını göstermiş ve iç denetim mevzuatında ve uygulamalarında önemli değişimler olmuştur. Özellikle, 2000’li yılların başında itibaren Türkiye, uluslararası alanda meydana gelen bu değişimlere ayak uydurmak ve değişimleri ulusal düzeye adapte etmek için, kurumlar seviyesinde iç denetim standartları geliştirmiş ve bu çerçevede yasal düzenlemelere gidilmiştir.

Neoliberal governmentality encourages individuals to value their life as a proper(ty). The neoliberal valuation of life embraces ‘self-responsible’ and ‘competitive’ individuals. Drawing on the contingency of life, neoliberal governmentality intervenes in affects to govern individuals. For instance, individuals are made anxious by the insecurity, vulnerability and ambiguity about the unintended consequences of what may happen to them. In this study, we address how Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool/‘Natural Disaster Insurance Institution’ (Doğal Afet Sigortaları Kurumu—hereafter, DASK) intervenes in affects for neoliberal valuation of life as proper(ty). With an interpretive, a post-structuralist and a critical management approach, we examine and analyze the content of the public spots of DASK through the lens of neoliberal governmentality. Accordingly, these public spots portray the victims of Van earthquake as ‘compulsory guests’ and problematise being a compulsory guest. We remark that the compulsory guests do not feel at home at their relatives’ homes. Within the neoliberal precarization process to foster responsible subjects, DASK portrays the uneasiness—or properness—of compulsory guests through hopes, anxieties and fears so that individuals are encouraged to get their compulsory earthquake insurance to avoid being a compulsory guest.

A model for the energy effectiveness of cross-flow packed-bed humidifiers is developed and compared with experimental data. The effectiveness of the humidifier is defined as the sensible and latent heat transferred to the air to the maximum total energy available to the humidified air. Simultaneous heat and mass transfer models; available in the literature and originally developed forwent counter flow cooling towers, are utilized to develop a modified model in this paper. The main modification added to that model is a definition of the heat capacity ratio that combines the simultaneous heat and mass transfer transport in that cross-flow packed-bed humidifiers. It was found that the mixed-mixed crossflow heat exchanger effectiveness relationship developed by Kays and London agrees well with the experimental data with an average deviation of less than 10%. The mixed-unmixed correlation developed by Kays and London [12] which was recommended by Jaber and Webb is found to have larger deviation from the experimental measurements occurred at higher heat capacity ratios.
SKULL-BASE MENINGOENCEPHALOCELE PRESENTING AS A LABIOGNATOPALATOSCHIZIS AND BILATERAL MACROSTOMIA ON IMPENDING PARTIAL AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION IN A NEONATE
Authors: Golden Nyoman
Published: January 2019

A unique skull-base meningoencephalocele presenting as a labiognatopalatoschizis and bilateral macrostomia in a neonate is reported, with impending partial airway obstruction. Surgical management requires neurosurgical intervention and plastic reconstruction. This case report presented a term neonate was noted to have a soft, fxed, 5-cm mass fulled of his mouth with the impending partial airway obstruction. The patient had several episodes of apnea related to partial airway obstruction by the mass. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed a large complex cystic and solid mass on lamina cribrosa of ethmoidal bone. Focal calcifcation was seen within the mass. The mass extended resulting in the complete cleft of lip and palate, and bilaterally macrostomia. The brain on CT scan was normal with no dysmorphic structures. A transcranial approach by the neurosurgeon was performed to excise the cephalocele and close the dura mater. The bone defect on lamina cribrosa of ethmoidal bone was closed using periosteum tissue. The procedure was followed by total excision of the prolapsed brain tissue and osteotomy on the left palate and then nasal airway reconstruction continued with gradual reconstruction with external compression for close loopholes of the palate. Three months after the initial surgery, a defect of the palate was narrowing and without cranial nerve defcits. Skull-base transethmoidal meningoencephalocele with labiognatopalatoschizis and bilateral macrostomia is a rare congenital abnormality. Neurosurgical procedures through transcranial approach are safe and provide excellent results. Moreover, gradual reconstruction will improve a patient’s quality of life and activity of daily living

Pengukuran hematologis darah ikan dapat dijadikan sebagai indikator kesehatan ikan. Salah satu penyakit yang sering menyerang pada budidaya ikan lele sangkuriang (Clarias Gariepenus) adalah penyakit bercak merah atau penyakit MAS (Motile Aeromonas Septicemia) yang dapat menyebakan tingkatmortalitas tinggi. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh bakteri Aeromonas hydrophila, yang termasuk bakteri gram negatif. Salah satu alternatif yang digunakan untuk mengatasi permasalahan serangan penyakit adalah dengan menggunakan bahan alami yang aman dan ramah lingkungan. Tumbuhan   dapat dijadikan sebagai antibakteri dan imunostimulan, misalnya  tumbuhan majapahit (Crescentia cujete L.) yang mempunyai  kandungan kimia pada daun, batang dan daun.  Kandungan  bahan aktif tersebut  adalah flavonoid, tanin,  polifenol dan saponin. Penggunaan imunostimulan dalam budidaya perikanan dilaporkan dapat meningkatkan ketahanan tubuh terhadap resistensi patogen selama masa periode stress seperti saat griding, reproduksi, pengangkutan dan vaksinasi. Kadar  hematokrit  adalah salah satu parameter hematologis yang  digunakan untuk  mengetahui  dampak infeksi  dari  A.  Hydrophila. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  mengetahui pengaruh  serbuk daun majapahit (Crescentia cujete L.)  sebagai bahan imunostimulan  pada benih ikan lele sangkuriang  (Clarias gariepenus) yang terinfeksi  oleh bakteri Aeromonas hydrophyla terhadap gambaran hematokritnya. Metode yang dipakai adalah menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan  4 perlakuan dan 3 x ulangan serta analisa data menggunakan ANOVA. Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dosis terbaik yang menunjukkan nilai hematokrit tertinggi adalah pada perlakuan A dengan dosis 7.5%.
Религия в жизни эмигрантов-белорусов в Аргентине (ХХ в.–начало ХХІ в.)
Authors: Шабельцев Сергей
Published: January 2019

Статья посвящена осмыслению роли религии в жизни эмигрантов-белорусов в Аргентине. Основное содержание исследования составляет анализ развития православной церкви и участие белорусов в ее жизнедеятельности. Раскрывается роль и отдельных священников-белорусов, служивших на ниве православия в Южной Америке (Афанасия Мартоса, Валентина Ивашевича). Автор приходит к выводу, что эмиграция приводила к снижению уровня религиозности белорусов, а православные церкви становились для эмигрантов, по большей части, местом встреч и связующей нитью со своей родиной, воспоминания о которой сопровождались острым чувством ностальгии.

Avicultura é uma das principais áreas da produção animal hoje no Brasil. Tendo em vista esse cenário para evitar perdas produtivas por mortalidade devido ao  estresse calórico, vem sendo utilizado ferramentas para mapear índices que pode causar desconforto nas aves e prejudicar seus índices produtivos dentro das instalações. Desta  forma o objetivo deste estudo foi  verificar a variabilidade do ambiente térmico de diferentes tipos de sistemas de climatização em aviários para poedeiras. Foram  registradas as variáveis bioclimáticas no interior das instalações em diferentes alturas para determinar a variação térmica de três diferentes instalações para poedeiras, sendo uma do tipo piramidal sem climatização (A1), uma do tipo Vertical com sistema de climatização realizado por exautores e placas evaporativas (A2) e a terceira instalação do tipo sistema vertical com aspersão no telhado (A3). O estudo foi realizado na estação de verão e cálculados os índices ITGU e CTR. Os índices  foram submetidos à análise geoestatística. Para a elaboração dos mapas de distribuição espacial das variáveis, foi utilizado o programa Surfer®. Verificou-se que existem falhas nas estruturas dos aviários que levam a pontos críticos tanto da CTR como do ITGU, principalmente nos sistemas verticais. Conclui-se que o ITGU e a CTR no A1 apresentaram comportamento uniforme ao longo da instalação. Os aviários A2 e A3 mostraram variabilidade nos mesmos índices estudados. Os valores dos índices em todos os aviários foram acima do recomendado na literatura, evidenciando situação de  alerta no  conforto térmico para poedeiras.Palavras chaves: ambiência; conforto térmico; bem-estar animal; geoestatística

Nos sistemas intensivos de produção de suíno, o tipo de cama utilizada interfere no desenvolvimento dos animais.  Na maternidade, os suínos apresentam diferentes graus de lesões no carpo e no tarso, causando dificuldade de locomoção e crescimento.  Deste modo, o diagnóstico precoce permite tratar o animal na fase inicial da doença.  Objetivou-se caracterizar e comparar duas metodologias existentes de análise de imagens termográficas das regiões das articulações do carpo e tarso de leitões na fase de maternidade, criados em três tipos de coberturas de piso de escamoteadores.  Foram utilizadas 542 imagens de suínos que apresentaram lesões nos membros anteriores e posteriores.  A temperatura superficial média (TSM) dos membros foi registrada por meio de imagens termográficas utilizando o software SmartView® 3.14.  Foram avaliados dois métodos: o primeiro por meio da marcação de 10 pontos ao longo de cada membro e o segundo, por meio do contorno da lesão nos membros dos leitões. Posteriormente, os métodos foram comparados utilizando o teste – t para dados pareados.  Os métodos apresentaram diferenças significativas (P≤0,05) entre si, sendo que o método de pontos apresentou temperaturas mais elevadas, o que pode indicar uma maior precisão em representar lesões.
