Conus intramedullary pyogenic abscess in a 4years old child: a rare case report and review of literature
Authors: Prasad Prajapati Hanuman , Kumar Singh Deepak , Kumar Singh Rakesh , Faran Ahmad
Published: December 2017

Intramedullary pyogenic abscess in the conus medullaris in a young child is an extremely rare condition. It had never been reported in literature. It should be differentiated from other more common pathology like tubercular abscess, dermal sinus, epidermoid and dermoid tumour. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical evacuation may lead to good neurological recovery from this rare benign pathology.
Echinococcus spp.: Tapeworms that Pose a Danger to Both Animals and Humans – a Review
Authors: Brožová A. , Jankovská I. , Bejček V. , Nechybová S. , Peřinková P. , Horáková B. , Langrová I.
Published: December 2017

Species of the genus Echinococcus (Cestoda; Taeniidae) are minute tapeworms of carnivores. Their larvae are known as hydatids (metacestode), which proliferate asexually in various mammals. Like the majority of cestodes, Echinococcus spp. require two different host species to complete their life cycle. Definitive hosts harbouring the adult cestodes in the small intestine are exclusively carnivores of the Canidae and Felidae families. A wide range of mammal species including humans is susceptible to infection by the metacestode of Echinococcus spp., which develops in their viscera. The disease, caused by species of the genus Echinococcus, is called echinococcosis, and it is one of the most dangerous zoonoses in the world. The traditional species Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis are agents of significant diseases due to the high number of cases and the wide geographical species range. The taxonomy of the genus is controversial; in the current state of ongoing complex revisions, the agent of cystic echinococcosis E. granulosus sensu lato is divided into five species (E. granulosus sensu stricto, E. felidis, E. equinus, E. ortleppi, E. canadensis), in addition to the agents of alveolar echinococcosis (E. multilocularis, E. shiquicus) and polycystic/unicystic echinococcosis (E. vogeli, E. oligarthrus). Here we provide an overview of the current situation, which continues to develop.
Does seed modification and nitrogen addition affect seed germination of Pulsatilla grandis?
Authors: Bochenková M. , Karlík P. , Hejcman M. , Jiras P.
Published: December 2017

Pulsatilla grandis is an endangered species in the Czech Republic and is protected in whole Europe because the number of its populations is declining. One of the possible causes is the deposition of atmospheric nitrogen. In our research, we investigated how nitrogen concentrations and seed appendage removal directly affect the species’ seed germination.Seeds were allowed to germinate under laboratory conditions in water solutions of NH4NO3 ranging in concentration from 0 to 4239 mg N l-1. They were able to germinate up to the concentration of 848 mg N l-1 even when covered with mycelium, which supports the idea that they can tolerate being strongly infected by fungi. We also found a significant positive effect of seed appendage removal on seed germination. Seeds without appendages germinated, on the average, with 11% greater probability, compared to seeds with appendages. We conclude that the germination of P. grandis is not directly affected by high N concentrations in rain water, which can range from 10 to 13 mg N l-1 near large cities. Surprisingly, low concentrations of N (up to 34 mg N l-1) might even slightly support the seed germination of P. grandis. The negative effect of N deposition on seeds is indirect and acts in conjunction with the absence of management at localities.
A Reconstruction of Russell's Gray's Elegy Argument
Authors: Rosenkrantz Max
Published: December 2017

This paper presents a detailed exegesis of Russell’s “Gray’s Elegy Argument” (GEA). It holds that the GEA mounts a successful attack on Frege—a thesis that has been widely controverted in the literature. The point of departure for my interpretation is Russell’s charge that it is impossible to speak about Sinne, or “meanings” as Russell calls them. I argue that the charge concerns the construction of an “ideal language.” For Russell, an ideal language is an artificial schema designed to represent the truth-makers for sentences occurring in natural language. Its signs stand for the entities that are constituents of those truth-makers. Russell’s charge can thus be expressed more clearly and completely as follows: an ideal language designed to express Frege’s ontology requires signs for meanings (Sinne); however, the signs introduced for that purpose cannot be correlated with the entities they are supposed to represent. Thus, the requirement cannot be met.
Community Use and Knowledge of Algarrobo (Prosopis pallida) and Implications for Peruvian Dry Forest Conservation
Authors: Depenthal Johanna , Meitzner Yoder Laura S.
Published: December 2017

El algarrobo (Prosopis pallida Kunth) es la especie clave del bosque seco norteño de Perú, un ecosistema forestal muy amenazado. El algarrobo es únicamente adaptado para florecer en ambientes áridos, pero aun así su alcance en la costa peruana y particularmente en la región de La Libertad ha sido reducido drásticamente por la urbanización, la expansión agrícola, y la cosecha de madera. La conservación efectiva de los bosques secos sobrevivientes de La Libertad requerirá iniciativas basadas en conocimiento de la interacción de las comunidades cercanas con el algarrobo y su entendimiento de la importancia de dichos árboles. Esta investigación estudia cómo integrantes de distintas comunidades en el pueblo de San Pedro de Lloc o cerca de este, en la región de La Libertad, conocen, usan, y valoran al algarrobo en tres bosques secos locales.  Los métodos de investigación incluyen entrevistas con habitantes de la comunidad y depositarios claves, además de visitas a los bosques. Nuestros resultados indican que los principales usos actuales del algarrobo incluyen el común empleo doméstico de la leña, la producción del carbón para fines comerciales y dependencia a los bosques secos del algarrobo como alimento para ganados. Personas entrevistadas también valoran a los algarrobos por su papel ecológico en la producción del oxígeno, la prevención de intrusión de dunas de arena a sus comunidades y como patrimonio cultural. Basadas en los resultados de esta investigación, nombramos algunas sugerencias concretas respecto a cómo el conocimiento y uso de los bosques secos por parte de la comunidad pueden ser usados para apoyar la conservación de este ecosistema único y tan amenazado.
Retrospective Consent in a Neonatal Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Songstad Nils T. , Roberts Calum T. , Manley Brett J. , Owen Louise S. , Davis Peter G. ,   on behalf of the HIPSTER trial investigators
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

The requirement for prospective consent in clinical trials in acute settings may result in samples unrepresentative of the study population, potentially altering study findings. However, using retrospective consent may raise ethical issues. We assessed whether using retrospective consent affected recruitment, participant characteristics, and outcomes within a randomized controlled trial.

METHODS:

We conducted a secondary analysis of a randomized trial, which compared nasal high flow (nHF) with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for primary respiratory support in preterm infants. In Era 1, all infants were consented prospectively; in Era 2, retrospective consent was available. We assessed inclusion rates of eligible infants, demographic data, and primary trial outcome (treatment failure within 72 hours).

RESULTS:

In Era 1, recruitment of eligible infants was lower than in Era 2: 111 of 220 (50%) versus 171 of 209 (82%), P < .001; intrapartum antibiotic administration was lower: 23 of 111 (21%) versus 84 of 165 (51%), P < .001; full courses of antenatal steroids were higher: 86 of 111 (78%) versus 103 of 170 (61%), P = .004; and more infants received pre-randomization CPAP: 77 of 111 (69%) versus 48 of 171 (28%), P < .001. In Era 1, nHF failure (15 of 56, 27%) and CPAP failure (14 of 55, 26%) rates were similar, P = .9. In Era 2, failure rates differed: 24 of 85 (28%) nHF infants versus 13 of 86 (15%) CPAP infants, P = .04. The χ2 interaction test was nonsignificant (P = .20).

CONCLUSIONS:

The use of retrospective consent resulted in greater recruitment and differences in risk factors between eras. Using retrospective consent altered the study sample, which may be more representative of the whole population. This may improve scientific validity but requires further ethical evaluation.

Elsholtzia densa Benth. var. densa (Lamiaceae) is a famous medicinal herb which has been widely used for treatment of colds, headaches, pharyngitis, fever, diarrhea, digestion disorder, rheumatic arthritis, nephritises, and nyctalopia in China. In this study, fraction of the ethyl alcohol extract of E. densa (aerial part) by different polarity solvents indicated that the ethyl acetate soluble fraction exhibited a potent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity with the IC50 value of 148.2 μg/mL. Under the target guidance of DPPH experiment, isoquercitrin, trachelogenin, ethyl caffeate, and arctigenin were separated with purities 95.98%, 92.98%, 96.07%, and 88.83%, respectively, by a dual-mode high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) method using n-hexane–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (4.5:5:3:4, v/v/v/v) as the solvent system. In order to evaluate the scientific basis, antioxidant activity of four isolated compounds was assessed by the radical scavenging effect on DPPH radical; isoquercitrin and ethyl caffeate showed stronger antioxidant activities with IC50 values of 9.4 μg/mL and 9.2 μg/mL, respectively, while trachelogenin and arctigenin showed weak antioxidant activities with IC50 values of >500 μg/mL and 72.8 μg/mL, respectively. Results of the present study indicated that the combinative method using DPPH antioxidant assay and dual-mode HSCCC could be widely applied for rapid screening and isolating of antioxidants from complex traditional Chinese medicine extract.

Nonlinear thermo-mechanical stability of shear deformable FGM sandwich shallow spherical shells with tangential edge constraints
Authors: Khoa Nguyen Minh , Tung Hoang Van
Published: December 2017

This paper presents an analytical approach to investigate the nonlinear axisymmetric response of moderately thick FGM sandwich shallow spherical shells resting on elastic foundations, exposed to thermal environments and subjected to uniform external pressure. Material properties are assumed to be temperature independent, and effective properties of FGM layer are graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Formulations are based on first-order shear deformation shell theory taking geometrical nonlinearity, initial geometrical imperfection, Pasternak type elastic foundations and various degree of tangential constraint of boundary edge into consideration. Approximate solutions are assumed to satisfy clamped boundary condition and Galerkin method is applied to derive closed-form expressions of critical buckling loads and nonlinear load-deflection relation. Effects of geometrical parameters, thickness of face sheets, foundation stiffness, imperfection, thermal environments and degree of tangential edge constraints on the nonlinear stability of FGM sandwich shallow spherical shells are analyzed and discussed.

Natural Language Understanding (NLU, not NLP) in Cognitive Systems
Authors: McShane Marjorie
Published: December 2017

Developing cognitive agents with human‐level natural language understanding (NLU) capabilities requires modeling human cognition because natural, unedited utterances are anything but neat and complete; so understanding them requires the ability to clean up the input and fill in the lacunae. Indeed, language inputs regularly feature complex linguistic phenomena such as lexical and referential ambiguity, ellipsis, false starts, spurious repetitions, semantically vacuous fillers, nonliteral language, indirect speech acts, implicatures, and production errors. Moreover, cognitive agents must be nimble in the face of incomplete interpretations since even people do not perfectly understand every aspect of every utterance they hear. This means that once an agent has reached the best interpretation it can, it must determine how to proceed — be that acting upon the new information directly, remembering whatever it has understood and waiting to see what happens next, seeking out information to fill in the blanks, or asking its interlocutor for clarification. The reasoning needed to support NLU extends far beyond language itself, including, nonexhaustively, the agent's understanding of its own plans and goals; its dynamic modeling of its interlocutor's knowledge, plans, and goals, all guided by a theory of mind; its recognition of diverse aspects of human behavior, such as affect, cooperative behavior, and the effects of cognitive biases; and its integration of linguistic interpretations with its interpretations of other perceptive inputs, such as simulated vision and nonlinguistic audition. Considering all of these needs, it seems hardly possible that fundamental NLU will ever be achieved through the kinds of knowledge‐lean text‐string manipulation being pursued by the mainstream natural language processing (NLP) community. Instead, it requires a holistic approach to cognitive modeling of the type we are pursuing in a paradigm called OntoAgent.
The Case for Explicit Ethical Agents
Authors: Scheutz Matthias
Published: December 2017

Morality is a fundamentally human trait that permeates all levels of human society, from basic etiquette and normative expectations of social groups, to formalized legal principles upheld by societies. Hence, future interactive AI systems, in particular, cognitive systems on robots deployed in human settings, will have to meet human normative expectations, for otherwise these system risk causing harm. While the interest in machine ethics has increased rapidly in recent years, there are only very few current efforts in the cognitive systems community to investigate moral and ethical reasoning. And there is currently no cognitive architecture that has even rudimentary moral or ethical competence, that is, the ability to judge situations based on moral principles such as norms and values and make morally and ethically sound decisions. We hence argue for the urgent need to instill moral and ethical competence in all cognitive system intended to be employed in human social contexts.
Эмоциональный интеллект участников как фактор эффективности деловых переговоров
Authors: Штроо Владимир Артурович , Серов Сергей Юрьевич
Published: December 2017

Цель. В статье обсуждается роль эмоционального интеллекта в переговорном процессе. Цель исследования – выявить и описать связь эмоционального интеллекта индивидов с результативностью переговоров между ними. Дизайн. Результативность переговоров рассматривается в работе в двух аспектах – с одной стороны, как индивидуальная успешность, а с другой – как общая, двусторонняя эффективность (эффективность переговорного процесса в целом). Для проверки гипотезы о наличии положительной связи между индивидуальной мерой выраженности (уровнем) эмоционального интеллекта участников и успешностью/эффективностью переговоров реализован квазиэкспериментальный план эмпирического исследования с помощью ролевой игры «Переговоры». Игра является моделью переговорного процесса, основанного на понимании сторонами необходимости поиска взаимоприемлемого, партнерского решения. Измерение коэффициента эмоционального интеллекта было осуществлено с помощью модифицированной версии теста MSCEIT V2.0, адаптированной для российской выборки. В выборочную совокупность исследования (N = 72) вошли 36 школьников, 24 студента и 12 сотрудников бизнес-структур. Результаты. Полученные результаты в целом свидетельствуют о подтверждении гипотез о существовании закономерной связи между индивидуальной мерой выраженности эмоционального интеллекта переговорщиков и результатами переговоров и о наличии связи между эмоциональным интеллектом и эффективностью переговорного процесса. Выводы. В работе изучены факторы, влияющие на успешность и эффективность переговорного  процесса. Данные факторы играют важную роль в управлении переговорным процессом и в надежном предсказании его результатов. Ценность результатов. Обнаружены факты, требующие более глубокого изучения. В частности, оказалось, что наличие в переговорной паре участника с уровнем эмоционального интеллекта ниже среднего, как правило, приводит к тому, что общая эффективность такой пары в целом столь же низка, как и в паре, оба участника которой обладают эмоциональным интеллектом на уровне ниже среднего. Сравнение эмпирических данных между различными социально-демографическими группами показало, что в ряде случаев высокий уровень эмоционального интеллекта может компенсировать отсутствие опыта проведения переговоров.

Introdução: As metodologias utilizadas para a busca de evidências são apropriadas para auxiliar na separação de informação confiáveis de livre acesso. No entanto, quando falamos no Direito em Saúde Baseada em Evidências se faz necessário algumas diretrizes para uma boa estruturação de perguntas de pesquisa para melhor uso de base de dados factíveis. Objetivo: demostrar como formular perguntas no campo da judicialização da saúde e como buscar evidências da literatura científica para melhor instruir processos. Métodos: revisão de artigos referente ao campo de sistematização de pesquisa científica para tomada de decisões e caracterização das opções de perguntas existentes e bases de dados relevantes. Resultados: Existem quatro métodos para elaboração de uma pergunta estruturada contendo informações sobre População, Intervenção, Comparador, Outcomes (desfechos), sendo os acrônimos PICO, SPIDER, SPICE, ECLIPSE os mais usados. A formulação da pergunta subsidia de forma mais adequada a busca nos diferentes tipos de bases da literatura. Essas bases podem ser de estudos de síntese e revisões sistemáticas; bases da literatura gerais; bases de produção técnica científica específicas; bases de dados consideradas literatura cinza e bases de guias e diretrizes clinicas. Conclusão: o uso de evidencias cientificas tem se tornado cada vez mais necessário com a judicialização requerendo a prática de fazer perguntas para buscar respostas na literatura científica visando instruir processos judiciais no campo da saúde.
Análise Idiossincrática dos Discursos proferidos nas decisões judiciais sobre Erro Médico no TJDFT: um estudo qualitativo.
Authors: Gomes Talita Rodrigues
Published: December 2017

Sabendo que as relação médico-paciente insatisfatória decorrente de erro médico são responsáveis por grande parte das denúncias feitas nos conselhos de classe e das demandas pecuniárias junto aos tribunais de justiça. É necessário reconhecer a importância e conhecer os fatores relacionados aos erros médicos para a formulação de medidas no sentido de evitar a má prática profissional. Com o objetivo de conhecer os argumentos utilizados nas decisões judiciais procedentes sobre erro médico que foram julgadas no TJDFT mediante uma metodologia qualitativa realizou-se uma análise idiossincrática do discurso com a finalidade de conhecer pressupostos classificados como: legal, processual e material. Observamos uso diferenciado da legislação para o julgamento de casos de erro médico de forma distinta para o setor público e o setor privado assim como observamos julgados em vista de problemas processuais e erros formais no processo civil. É possível aferir a partir do discurso analisado tanto a negligência, como imperícia e imprudência no trato dos pacientes o que evidencia falhas no sistema de saúde. Constata-se a necessidade de efetivação de ações de saúde e propostas de formação dos profissionais de saúde e do direito mais humanizadas.
Mobility-Related Economic Exclusion: Accessibility and Commuting Patterns in Industrial Zones in Turkey
Authors: Akyelken Nihan
Published: December 2017

Geographers have long examined the assumption that women are locally constricted and what this means for women taking up of economic opportunities. These studies have provided valuable insights into the understanding of the spatial dimension of social exclusion. However, the investigation of the role of wider economic, physical and social contexts on women’s mobility and accessibility constraints has mainly concerned the countries in North America and Western Europe. Through a mixed methods study of two industrial zones in Turkey, this article looks at how women and men from different social backgrounds access the zones with the aim of identifying the specific constraints that women face in their everyday life in accessing economic opportunities. The results show that while gender seems to play a role in the choice of place of residence and the employers’ perception of time use, women’s socioeconomic and educational backgrounds seem to be more important predictors of their commuting patterns and access to the zones. The study confirms that gendered daily travel patterns are a useful unit of analysis for investigating unequal access to economic opportunities. It further argues that the complex nature of everyday mobilities of women should be interpreted in conjunction with the perceptions of employers on women’s work spaces and time use.

RESUMO: O atual estágio do desenvolvimento humano definido pelas tecnologias da inteligência, hoje acelerado pelo rápido desenvolvimento das tecnologias digitais e a expansão das redes cibernéticas, estabelece desafios urgentes para o mundo da educação e as suas relações com a sociedade. Em diálogo com Abranches (2003), Bernheim (2008), Castells (2000), Dowbor (2011), Freire (1967), Silveira (2008) e outros autores relevantes à nossa reflexão, o artigo analisa as contradições existentes entre a produção do conhecimento no contexto da cultura escolar, sobretudo no âmbito da academia, e a privatização do conhecimento desenvolvido, transformado-o em capital cognitivo a partir das novas práticas capitalistas no mundo globalizado. As primeiras ideias deste ensaio nasceram em 2011, durante as aulas da disciplina “Educação e Sociedade”, no curso de mestrado em Educação Matemática e Tecnológica, no Centro de Educação da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. A análise segue, portanto, um percurso metodológico que revisa e revisita a bibliografia tomada como arcabouço teórico do presente texto.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: sociedade; educação; conhecimento; tecnologias digitais; mudança da realidade.ABSTRACT: The current stage of human development defined by intelligence technologies, now accelerated by the rapid development of digital technologies and the expansion of cybernetics, poses urgent challenges for the world of education and its relations with society.

RESUMO: Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o programa educativo audiovisual Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum, considerado um programa inovador, que se constitui como um gênero híbrido entre os gêneros educativo e de entretenimento. Tendo em vista as novas formas de produção e sociabilização dos saberes que os avanços tecnológicos promovem e que mudam significativamente as formas de vida contemporâneas, propõe-se investigar as estratégias de interação desse programa, considerando-o como um gênero didático pedagógico produzido no universo de práticas educativas não formais. As análises foram fundamentadas, predominantemente, pelos pressupostos da teoria semiótica francesa, com ênfase nos conceitos de formas de vida apresentados por Fontanille (2008).PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum; prática educativa; formas de vida; semiótica.ABSTRACT: The main objective of this article is to analyze the audiovisual and educational program, Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum, which is considered innovative, hybrid and different of other educational and entertainment programs. Considering the new forms of production and socialization of the knowledge that the advances in technology have promoted, which then result in significant changes in the contemporary life, we propose to investigate the strategies of interaction in Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum. It is interesting to consider that this program uses a pedagogical didactic genre that is not commonly applied to the formal educational practices. Our analyses were predominantly based in the French semiotic theory, thus emphasizing the concepts of forms of life presented by Fontanille (2008).KEYWORDS: Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum; educational practice; forms of life; semiotic.
Prática de leitura em sala de aula a partir dos pressupostos foucaultianos / Reading practice in the classroom from Foucault's premisses
Authors: Rocha Tacia , Di Raimo Luciana Cristina Ferreira Dias
Published: December 2017

RESUMO:As diferentes noções de leitura constituem diferentes metodologias, objetos de estudo da linguagem e posturas pedagógicas. Essas noções têm mudado, passando pelos conceitos de leitura como decodificação e como interação na modernidade, e leitura como processo discursivo e como processo virtual, na pós-modernidade. Adotando uma dessas concepções, este artigo tem como objetivo propor uma prática de leitura como processo discursivo para o Ensino Superior, a partir de uma materialidade audiovisual com a temática tecnologia na educação. O arcabouço teórico metodológico adotado é a Análise do Discurso em intersecção com os estudos foucaultianos para mobilizar conceitos como acontecimento discursivo, condições de emergência, regime de verdade e posição-sujeito. Os resultados apontam que a atividade de leitura como processo discursivo, a partir do exemplo elucidado, traz à tona acontecimentos históricos que possibilitam que apareçam determinados enunciados e não outros em seu lugar. Com a irrupção desses acontecimentos, surge um regime de verdade que sustenta a teia de discursos em que o texto analisado está amarrado. A posição de quem lê e de quem produz o discurso ocasionará diferentes sentidos. Somente quando se relaciona criticamente com sua posição e problematiza, explicitando as condições de produção, o sujeito-leitor finalmente compreende o texto.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: leitura; análise do discurso; tecnologia na educação. ABSTRACT:The different notions of reading constitute different methodologies, objects of study of the language and pedagogical postures. These notions have changed, through the concepts of reading as decoding and as interaction in modernity, and reading as discursive process and as virtual process, in post-modernity. Adopting one of these conceptions, this article aims at proposing a reading activity as discursive process for higher education, from a technology-themed audio-visual materiality in education. The theoretical methodology adopted is the Discourse Analysis in intersection with Foucault's studies to mobilize concepts such as discursive event, emergency conditions, regime and position-subject. The results show that the activity of reading as discursive process, from the example elucidated, brings up historical events which make it appear certain listed and not others in its place. With the irruption of these events, a regime appears of truth that supports the net of speeches where the analyzed text is anchored. The position of who reads and of who produces the speech will generate different meanings. Only when one relates critically to his position and problematizes it, explaining the production conditions, will the subject-reader finally understand the text.KEYWORDS: reading; discourse analysis; technology in education.
Terpsícore e o romance moderno: cenas de baile em narrativas francesas do século XIX
Authors: Daher Claudia Helena
Published: December 2017

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo do romance moderno francês a partir de um de seus topoi: a cena de baile, que a partir do século XIX passa a aparecer de maneira cada vez mais sistemática, mimetizando, de certa maneira, a eclosão do baile como fenômeno social burguês, classe que se apropria de um imaginário idealizado da antiga classe dominante, a nobreza. Essa mudança no campo literário acompanha a evolução dos costumes pela qual passa a sociedade a partir da Revolução Francesa, quando uma nova mentalidade começa a se formar, e as noções de indivíduo e de isolamento são colocadas em evidência. Através da leitura de três cenas de baile, apresentam-se alguns aspectos das tensões e conflitos que marcam o indivíduo e sua relação com o mundo moderno. Como orientação teórica, destacam-se os estudos sobre o romance de Watt e sobre a representação da realidade, de Auerbach.
Jean-Christophe Bailly e a legenda(gem) dispersa do mundo: comparições, ricochetes, desarraigamentos
Authors: Moraes Marcelo Jacques de
Published: December 2017

Este ensaio apresenta algumas das linhas de força da obra de Jean-Christophe Bailly, com especial atenção ao que ele quer definir como a condição essencial do poema – ou de seu alargamento. Trata-se de manter a linguagem como área de receptividade, de contatos, de ressonâncias, disseminando índices de significância e fazendo de seu manejo um movimento de resistência à pulsão de encerrar sob o nome aquilo que nos chama do desconhecido, substantivando-o. Trata-se, em suma, de desencerrar sem fim, de reabrir o mundo sob a linguagem, de desbatizá-lo, de produzir e dispersar, a partir dessa operação, lendas e legendas. Introduziremos o pensamento poético do escritor pautando-nos especialmente em três imagens conceituais: comparições (comparutions), ricochetes (ricochets), desarraigamentos (dépaysement).

Ante una democracia representativa debilitada. Una quimera entre el ideal y el logro
Authors: Macías Jara María
Published: December 2017

Parece estar asumido, en la actualidad, que la idea de democracia lleva intrínsecamente acomodada la idea de representación. No obstante, son conocidas las diferentes maneras de apreciar la representación, por ejemplo, como autoridad, como símbolo, como reflejo de deseos, como cuidado de intereses, como autorización para decidir, como responsabilidad. Es este último significado el que va a ser tomado de referencia para reflexionar acerca de la distancia entre la legitimación de los representantes actuales adquirida a través de la voluntad que expresa el electorado y la carencia de legitimidad política de la que no consiguen dotarse porque no asumen la responsabilidad como representantes. Podría decirse que asistimos a una pérdida de la capacidad representativa como consecuencia de una transgresión de la confianza que el pueblo soberano depositó en los representantes que no consiguen representar.Quizás, se ha hecho un uso hegemónico del mandato representativo que ha desembocado en una cierta desconexión entre el ideal querido y el logro sobre el ideal y, con ello, la sensación de pérdida de control de la ciudadanía y la debilitación de la democracia, pues el control corresponde al pueblo soberano y no a los representantes. Sin control, no puede hablarse, en la actual configuración de los Estados constitucionales, de democracia representativa.Recibido: 16 mayo 2017Aceptado: 28 noviembre 2017Publicación en línea: 27 diciembre 2017

Polski rynek gier wideo – sytuacja obecna oraz perspektywy na przyszłość
Authors: Juszczak Adam
Published: December 2017

Rynek gier komputerowych w ciągu ostatnich 60 lat rozwijał się w niezwykle szybkim tempie. Mimo faktu że przez opóźnienie technologiczne wynikające z komunizmu pierwsze firmy produkujące gry komputerowe zaczęły w Polsce funkcjonować dopiero w latach 90. XX wieku, powstała u nas całkiem imponująca liczba firm, które są w stanie tworzyć gry podziwiane na całym świecie – zarówno z sektora AAA, jak i mniejszych produktów. Najlepsze polskie firmy, jak CD Projekt Red, Techland czy CI Games, są w dobrej kondycji finansowej po wypuszczeniu hitów takich, jak Wiedźmin 3 czy Dying Light, które znalazły się w gronie najlepszych gier 2015 i 2016 roku. W tym samym czasie mogliśmy też obserwować rozwój obiecujących mniejszych developerów, jak 11 bit studios. Biorąc pod uwagę tę sytuację na rynku oraz wchodzący program rządowy GameINN, który ma wspierać innowacyjne nowe produkcje, możemy przewidywać, że polski rynek gier wideo nadal będzie się bardzo szybko rozwijał.

Murals make (Our) history: paintings on the wall as media of cultural memory. Interpreting the current state of Warsaw’s commemorative murals
Authors: Upalevski Ilija
Published: December 2017

The aim of this paper is to closely examine the ways in which the outdoor mural as a form of art. has been used for commemorative purposes in the context of the Polish capital. Drawing on content analysis this paper will argue that regardless of their democratic potential and potential to act subversively in the public domain, the commemorative murals in the case of Warsaw are predominantly reflecting the official narrations/representations of the past and thus reproducing the state-supported, nation-centered, male-dominated perspective of history. Referring to Wulf Kansteiner methodological instructions, the paper introduces the notion of “secondary” memory makers in order to describe the position the mural makers are occupying in the field of Warsaw’s cultural memory. It will also be argued that mural makers, by adapting their works to the demands of the cultural institutions responsible for the memory production and dominant discourses of memory from mainly pragmatic reasons, are forgoing a fair portion of the democratic and subversive potential of the murals. As such, the paintings on the walls are, intentionally or not, further involved in more complex state-sponsored strategies of nationalizing the public space.
On The Exact Solutions to Conformable Time Fractional Equations in EW Family Using Sine-Gordon Equation Approach
Authors: Korkmaz Alper , Ersoy Hepson Ozlem , Hosseini Kamyar , Rezazadeh Hadi , Eslami Mostafa
Published: December 2017

New exact solutions to conformable time fractional EW and modified EW equations are constructed by using Sine-Gordon expansion approach. The fractional traveling wave transform and homogeneous balance have significant roles in the solution procedure. The predicted solution is of the form of some finite series of multiplication of powers of cos and sin functions. The relation among trigonometric and hyperbolic functions in sense of Sine-Gordon expansion gives opportunity to construct the solutions in terms of hyperbolic functions.
