Dom Luís Antônio dos Santos, primeiro Bispo do Ceará (1861-1881) e Arcebispo da Bahia (1881-1890)
Authors: Azzi Riolando
Published: September 2021

Um dos aspectos que merece ser relevado na história da Igreja do Brasil do século passado é o movimento de reforma católica, sob a liderança do episcopado.

Um dos promotores mais destacados do movimento foi D. Antônio Ferreira Viçoso, bispo de Mariana, criador de uma verdadeira escola de bispos reformadores. Dentre seus primeiros discípulos e colaboradores três merecem menção especial: D. João Antônio dos Santos, bispo de Diamantina, D. Pedro Maria de Lacerda, bispo do Rio de Janeiro, e D. Luís Antônio dos Santos, bispo do Ceará e posteriormente arcebispo da Bahia.

É a atuação deste último, especificamente na área da luta pela reforma e pela liberdade da Igreja, que queremos analisar com mais detalhe no presente estudo...
Zwischen logos und icon
Authors: Engel Ulrich
Published: September 2021

In his contribution "Zwischen logos und icon. Gegenwartskunst als Anders-Ort der Theologie" (Between logos and icon. Contemporary art as other-place of theology) Ulrich Engel OP examines, starting from the iconic turn, the question what theology (which is primarily committed to the biblical WORD) can learn from IMAGES. Following Foucault's theory of heterotopias (other-places), the study focuses on works of contemporary visual art, which as other-places can expose and make visible hidden, overlooked, misunderstood mechanisms of exclusion. Four artistic positions (Pavel Büchler, Boris Mikhailov, Chris Martin, and Paloma Varga Weisz) are used to show how they cite Christian iconographic traditions and revisit them in a contemporary way. In the omissions and gaps that become apparent in these and structurally similar adaptations, de-emphasizations, and continuations, something appears that is already theologically inherent in the biblical prohibition of images. The Jewish prohibition of images is not an absolute one. For it reminds us that all positively painted images of God always need the theological negative sign, the aesthetic "empty space" in the image itself.
Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński’s Concept of Christians Engagement in Culture
Authors: Ficek Ryszard
Published: September 2021

The Christian concept of involvement in culture, as defined by Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, exposes man in his entire personal vocation from the perspective of all essential dimensions of his existence. In this sense, all historical-political or socio-cultural processes - affecting society as a whole - always refer to a specific human person. In the context of all these essential dimensions, man is understood as a homo artifex. Thus, the fullness of man’s personal affluence becomes the ultimate and fundamental principle, subject, and goal of culture. Therefore, the article aims to answer the question: can the personalistic concept of a human being constitute the basis for forming and influencing the culture, especially in contemporary reality? Stefan Wyszyński’s personalism treats Christian involvement in culture regarding a vocation addressed to every human being. Moreover, by emphasizing elements such as the human person, family, nation, state, the international community, culture, economy, and politics, as well as the Church proclaiming the universal message of salvation, the personalistic vision of culture emphasizes its praxeological character, rooted in a specific human existence and oriented towards the supernatural dimension. Therefore, the human person is directly involved in the stream of modern civilization and its cultural changes, as well as finds his proper place in the dynamically changing realities of the contemporary world.

„Symbole geben zu denken”? Theoretische und didaktische Überlegungen zur Reflexionsphilosophie Paul Ricoeurs
Authors: Morawski Marcin
Published: September 2021

Current thinking is strongly oriented towards the logos and sees the need for demythologizing. The myth seems to belong to past forms of consciousness that belong to a "naive" worldview. Today's thinking, however, has to be based on the ratio in still in the tradition of Descartes. Based on Paul Ricoeurs' philosophy of reflection, this article aims to show that the integration of  symbolic forms like the myth but also poetry into today's thinking should not be understood as a departure from the logos, but rather as its expansion with ontological relevance. Finally, it should be explored to what extent such a way of thinking proves to be productive for educational processes.
Research and Publication Ethics
Authors: Olatunji PO
Published: September 2021

Research is an effort to seek the truth and communicate it. In the process, participants or subjects of research must be recognised and respected, and the principles of research ethics must protect the vulnerable from exploitation. The researcher must do the reporting of research findings with honesty and professionalism. Non-adherence to the above principles in the early research period resulted in gross abuse of personality and autonomy. Research is now subjected to rigorous scrutiny to stem the tide of abuse and ascertain and guarantee the sanctity of the research participants, process and product. These are the fundamentals of the practice of ethics in both research and publication. In effect, this paper aims to address ethics and its application to research and publications.
Anti-diabetic Agents and the Potentials for Reducing Cardiovascular Risks in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Ezeani IU , Eregie A , Ohwovoriole AE
Published: September 2021

Recent reports from Cardiovascular Outcome Trials (CVOTs) revealed that some newer anti-diabetic drugs impact Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE). These medications include the Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter (SGLT2) inhibitors and the Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. There is a need for a review of the mechanisms of action of these drugs, in addition to their glucose-lowering effects and CV benefits. This review paper aims to explore the cardio-protective effects and CV risks of anti-diabetic medications, their mechanisms of action and the CV benefits evidenced by CVOTs. Using internet search, with search items such as Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular risk factors, cardiovascular outcome trials, major adverse cardiovascular events, sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, the Google Scholar, EMBASE, PubMed, Medline, Web MD, and Scopus were checked for various relevant published articles. Analyses of the results of multiple CVOTs from various parts of the world were considered. These CVOTs were reviewed to assess the role of anti-diabetic agents in reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with T2DM. The SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists were found to be beneficial in lowering MACE when compared with placebo. This is in addition to their anti-hyperglycaemic benefits.

In conclusion, SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists confer dramatic beneficial CV risk reduction on patients with T2DM, as shown by the various CVOTs. This is in addition to their anti-hyperglycaemic effects. This remarkable benefit justifies the need by various guidelines to adopt them as second line agents to metformin in managing patients with T2DM.

Authors: Ladele AE , Ogunkoya JO , Elikwu CJ , Oyedele TA , Tuta KE , Abiodun O , Idowu A , Eigbe S
Published: September 2021

Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at high risk of contracting and spreading the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease putting themselves, the patients and the community at large at risk. Therefore, there is a need for adequate preparedness in the face of this pandemic.

Objectives: To assess the knowledge of HCW (clinical and non-clinical) on COVID-19, determine the level of HCWs preparedness against COVID-19 and evaluate the level of preparedness of the hospital facility against COVID-19.

Methods: Purposive sampling technique was used in this cross-sectional study. A self-administered questionnaire adapted from a validated questionnaire was used to collect appropriate data on socio-demographics, knowledge about COVID 19 and preparedness.

Results: A total of 170 HCWs with a mean age of 34.7±6.9 years participated in this study. More than half (56.5%; 96/170) were females. The average knowledge score among clinical staff was 9.04±13.77, with 80 clinical staff having good knowledge of COVID-19. The majority of non-clinical staff had a fair knowledge of COVID-19 with an average knowledge score of 5.11±47.07. About 63.4% were not confident enough in caring for a suspected coronavirus case even though more than half (57.6%) have had formal training in Infection Prevention and Control and above 77% (131/170) confirmed the availability of PPE in their facility. However, about three-quarters (74.7%; 127/170) believed the hospital is well prepared to manage COVID-19 cases.

Conclusion: This study revealed that this cohort of HCWs have good knowledge of COVID-19 and are convinced that they and their facility are well prepared for outbreaks of COVID-19.
Fertility-preserving Management of Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital
Authors: Awowole IO , Adeniyi OA , Allen OO , Adeyemi AB
Published: September 2021

Cervical Ectopic Pregnancies (CEPs) are commonly associated with adverse outcomes due to diagnostic and treatment challenges. This report describes the successful management of an initially misdiagnosed CEP. A 30-year-old G4P2+1(Alive 2) presented to the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife, Nigeria, with vaginal bleeding following 11 weeks amenorrhea. The patient was haemodynamically stable, with minimal bleeding per vaginam, and ultrasonography had previously diagnosed complete miscarriage. However, transvaginal ultrasonography demonstrated classical hour-glass uterus. The ballooned cervix contained a gestational sac and foetal node without cardiac activity. The patient was managed with a single dose of intramuscular methotrexate injection. Her serum B-HCG concentration declined from 460.8mIU/ml at presentation to <5mIU/ml on the 10th day post-methotrexate injection, with a complete clinical and ultrasonographic resolution of the features. A high index of suspicion and appropriate ultrasonographic skills are necessary for prompt diagnosis of a CEP. Medical management could minimise the risk of intractable haemorrhage and hysterectomy.

Culture and Pedagogy of MEQs
Authors: Winch Junko
Published: September 2021

It is claimed that MEQ is multidimensional and it is complex to agree on what those dimensions are and how they interrelate. The main objective of this study is to investigate the culture and Pedagogy of MEQs. Using four dimensions of cultural framework, the underlying pedagogies for the MEQ was identified. The results of the literature reviews show that the cultures of the MEQ are individualist, weak uncertainty avoidance and small power distance, which indicates the Western concept. It has also uncovered that MEQs interrelates to the concept of motivation and enjoyment. The recommendation is for university to have a permanent MEQ staff to give staff development opportunity on the MEQ pedagogy and culture to improve their quality assurance and accountability. It is also recommended to create MEQ software which incorporates additional quantitative data such as class attendance rates and other descriptive statistics which describe the class (i.e. minimum, maximum and average) to minimise the bias effect of the teaching staff and students and increase validity and reliability of MEQs. This paper may be of use for MEQ designers, teaching staff, quality assurance staff, student experience staff, HR staff and executive board members.

Published: September 2021

Recent advances in molecular biology make it possible to sequence not only genes or genomes, but also to understand codon dynamics. For the organelle genes of these organisms, a small set of preferred codons are used for encoding proteins. For the first time, this paper treats the divergence of synonymous codon usage and its bias in the rbcL gene within the Laurencia complex of red algae. We observed that the synonymous codon preference biases in rbcL are large and differ among species. A clear distinction in codon usage between genera is evident: the genera Dasya and Delesseria use a set that fluctuated between 53 and 58 codons. Whereas, in the genera Ceramium, Chondrophycus, Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, Laurencia s.s, Osmundea, and Palisada codon usage indicates a higher restriction fluctuating between 40 to 51 codons. Laurencia complex genera and other representative algae showed a defined composition pattern, with lower percentage values of NNC/G (7-24.9%). Dasya and Delesseria showed a selective pattern tendency because of high percentage values of NNC/G (54-55%). The estimated codon bias parameters were tested to infer systematic relationships and match suitable codons with the NNC / G codon percentages. Cluster analysis based on Codon Usage supports phylogenetic relationships between Chondrophycus, Palisada, Laurencia, Osmundea, and Yuzurua species.
5G technology deployment in Latin America: An analysis of public policy and regulation environment
Authors: Fernando Arias  , Alfredo Salado  , Carlos Medina  , Mayteé Zambrano
Published: September 2021

5G has become a reality in Latin America and it is expected to boost the digital revolution with key capabilities, including higher speeds and ultra-low latency, thus enabling innovative solutions and socioeconomic development. But its deployment faces many challenges related to, among other factors, spectrum allocation and infrastructure deployment. In this work we assess the current public policy and regulatory environment in Latin America regarding the adoption and deployment of 5G technology, considering mainly the above-mentioned challenges. From the analysis, it is possible to note that Latin American countries exhibit different levels of commitment and progress in 5G deployment since, for example, the spectrum allocation and assignment for 5G is still underway, and many regulations hamper instead to facilitate the implementation of 5G networks. On the other hand, the analysis confirms the necessity of having public policies and regulations which define flexible, efficient and transparent processes for all aspects related to 5G deployment.

Regulations on the national taxation have explicitly regulated the obligations that are inherent in the status of ownership of motor vehicles. It means that the obligation to pay taxes is a responsibility the person or entity as the owner of motor vehicles shall carry out based on the provisions of prevailing regulations on the taxation. Therefore, the retard the owner of the motor vehicles undertakes in carrying out the obligations of taxations constitutes a serious problem in Maluku province. In fact, the coercion letter issued by the Genderal Directorate of Taxation as a means to give warning to the owner of motor vehicles who neglect to pay off the tax debts and transfer tax of the motor vehicles does not still function well and still violates the determined procedures that, therefore, contributes to the regional revenue in taxes.

The research method used is a sociological legal research that discusses the application of positive law regarding the practice of community inheritance in Bantan District, Bengkalis Regency. The results showed: a. The community in Bantan Subdistrict turned out to be wrong in understanding the principle of balanced justice which was considered to be contrary to the sense of justice for the heirs. They understand the principle of balanced justice must be in the same sense. Whereas the meaning of the principle is that each heir, both male and female, has the same rights in obtaining inheritance rights. Men get more rights which do not mean unfair, but in Islamic law it stipulates that men are responsible for the burden of the family; b. The community in Bantan District in understanding radd in Islamic law does not fully refer to the KHI which is a reference in determining the law. They divide radd based only on habits that can be shared with the heirs who want it or the mosque; c. The community in Bantan Subdistrict considers that the heirs who passed away first from the heir, cannot be replaced by the heir's child. Whereas based on Article 185 paragraph (1) the KHI position of the heir can be replaced by the offspring of both male and female.

The Effects of Situational and Individual Factors on Algorithm Acceptance in COVID-19-Related Decision-Making: A Preregistered Online Experiment
Authors: Utz Sonja , Wolfers Lara , Göritz Anja
Published: September 2021

In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, difficult decisions such as the distribution of ventilators must be made. For many of these decisions, humans could team up with algorithms; however, people often prefer human decision-makers. We examined the role of situational (morality of the scenario; perspective) and individual factors (need for leadership; conventionalism) for algorithm preference in a preregistered online experiment with German adults (n = 1,127). As expected, algorithm preference was lowest in the most moral-laden scenario. The effect of perspective (i.e., decision-makers vs. decision targets) was only significant in the most moral scenario. Need for leadership predicted a stronger algorithm preference, whereas conventionalism was related to weaker algorithm preference. Exploratory analyses revealed that attitudes and knowledge also mattered, stressing the importance of individual factors.

Authors:   Giulio Fusco, Yari Vecchio, Donatella Porrini, Felice Adinolfi
Published: September 2021

To achieve sustainability, agricultural insurance is one of the main tools capable of reducing the vul-nerability of farmers. This is the reason it is important to investigate the different factors that affect the farmers’ agricultural insurance decision-making. The paper, using Regional panel data from Italy Regions and the GMM dynamic panel data model, examines the effect of different group variables on agricultural insurance decision making: risk perception and management, agricultural insurance recognition, trust and affordability. The aim of this paper is: (1) to analyze, through a systematic liter-ature review, which are the main problems regarding agricultural insurance diffusion, (2) to measure which category of variables influences agricultural insurance adoption, (3) to provide different policy solutions to improve the diffusion of agricultural insurance in Italy. The results show that agricultural insurance affordability, risk perception and management are the major influencing factors; a possible solution to improve the agricultural insurance demands would be to raise household net income and find an alternative solution to subsidies.
Perceptions of the links between governance and food security: Case study of the pulses sector in Morocco.
Authors:   Larbi Toumi, Mohamed El Amrani, Abdelkader Ait El Mekki, Rachid Harbouze, Aziz Fadlaoui
Published: September 2021

This research aims to examine the existence or not of a relationship between governance and pulse’s food security in Morocco in terms of food availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability and to determine the governance indicators affecting food security. The methodological approach pursued combines ordi-nal logistic regression and qualitative analysis based on perceptions of thirty-four actors representing the value chain links of pulses. The results obtained show a relationship between governance and pulse’s food security in terms of accessibility and stability rather than in terms of food availability and utilization. The most significant governance indicator affecting accessibility is the piloting and control of the sector. While none of the following indicators, affecting stability, are significant: the degree of information shar-ing on the distribution system, the degree of transparency, and the degree of trust between actors. How-ever, the emergence of constraints relating to coordination, commitment, trust, and information sharing between actors are not favorable to a decisive role in food security governance.
Targeting Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) - An Important Strategy to Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Hemant S. Kanhere , Pallavi C. Bansinge , Helen Ratna Monica J. , Sawan K. Rathod
Published: September 2021

Many theories have been proposed to explain why candidate disease-modifying drugs (DMTs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) failed. Late initiation of treatments during AD development, inappropriate drug dosages, incorrect selection of main therapeutic targets, and primarily inadequate understanding of the complex pathophysiology of AD are the most prominent ones. Reduced expression of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is essential in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. BDNF plays important functions in cell survival and differentiation, neuronal outgrowth and plasticity. It can be a novel target for the treatment of the disease. In Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus, parietal, entorhinal, and frontal cortex all have the most extreme BDNF deficits. Lower levels of BDNF can be linked to neuronal death, masking any gene-related effects. High BDNF levels have been attributed to a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's. Improvements in BDNF levels imparted by exercise, plant based drugs, trkB receptor agonist and BDNF enhancer drug have been proved to enhance cognitive performance. Plant-based products and nutraceuticals can boost BDNF levels. Polyphenols are essential plant compounds with a wide range of therapeutic potentials. Flavonoids like calycosin, genistein, isorhamnetin, and luteolin have been shown to affect the level of BDNF. Curcumin, a compound derived from spice turmeric (curcuma longa), has a variety of biological functions in the brain, including antidepressant properties which also increase BDNF level in the hippocampus. Riluzole is used to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In a depression model with chronic corticosteroid intake, riluzole also restores hippocampal BDNF levels. Evidence indicates that BDNF deficiency plays a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Drugs used to treat Alzheimer's disease have the unintended property of modulating BDNF levels in brain regions specifically involved in the disease's pathophysiology. The discovery of molecules that precisely control BDNF in particular cellular phenotypes could increase the effectiveness of therapy against AD.

Les consuls de France établis en Espagne, l’agent général de France à Madrid ainsi que les Chambres de Commerce de Marseille, Bordeaux et Bayonne œuvrèrent en faveur d’une interconnexion plus affirmée entre les espaces économiques français, ibérique et américain entre 1770 et 1793. Par leurs pratiques et leur discours, ces institutions agissaient afin de favoriser l’immixtion des négociants français dans la Carrera de Indias, dans un contexte de concurrence commerciale avec les puissances maritimes, notamment l’Angleterre. La démarche consiste alors à analyser en quoi ces institutions étaient des outils de l’impérialisme informel français dans l’Empire hispanique et, ce faisant, de la projection commerciale de la France aux Indes espagnoles.

Published: September 2021

Mediante el concepto de imperialismo informal, y revisando convenciones arraigadas, definimos aquí algunas causas externas del colapso del imperio español que se pueden vincular al fortalecimiento del poder británico (estructural, relacional y habilitador) en el Río de la Plata. Las estrategias de seguridad imperial británica relativas a Hispanoamérica durante las guerras napoleónicas están asociadas a la acción de redes aliadas y a la apertura comercial, vector de ese poder gracias a la protección de la Marina. La sinergia entre agentes que respondían al gobierno británico y actores más independientes emerge de la correspondencia oficial y semioficial sobre la disputa con el Virrey Cisneros, quien luego de abrir el comercioamenazó con expulsar a los británicos en vísperas de la Revolución de Mayo.
BARCELONA, THE SEA, AND THE WORLD
Authors: Ruiz Teófilo F.
Published: September 2021

Between 1766 and 1868, close to 25,000 protests against the sea were filed at the Consulate of Commerce in Barcelona. By focusing on the 325 depositions extant at the ACA for the year 1868, this article contextualizes these documents within the city’s history. They become a lens through which to examine the nature of Barcelona trade, changes in the provisioning of the city, its march towards modernity, new seafaring technologies, Barcelona’s global trade, and the city’s enduring ties to the sea.
EXPERIENCIAS TRANSATLÁNTICAS
Authors: Reguera Andrea
Published: September 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar al grupo de ingenieros militares que se dedicaron a la construcción de fortificaciones entre finales del siglo xviii y últimas décadas del xix, con el fin de consolidar la frontera sur rioplatense. Lo que se observa es que, si bien hay una continuidad respecto a la política de construcción de una línea defensiva entre colonia e independencia, lo que cambia es el perfil y la procedencia de los ingenieros. En este sentido, nos interesa analizar su formación y cómo aplican sus conocimientos europeos a la realidad sudamericana.

The 11th version of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) marks a paradigm shift in the diagnosis of personality disorders: In the near future, their classification will no longer be categorical, but dimensional along the severity of personality impairments and optionally regarding the presence of maladaptive personality traits. This study examines the reliability and validity of the German version of the Personality Inventory for ICD-11 (PiCD), a questionnaire designed to assess ICD-11 maladaptive personality domains, in a clinical and nonclinical sample (N = 939). The factor structure of the PiCD was examined using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and showed a tendency for a four-factor model (Negative Affectivity, Dissociality, Detachment, and a bipolar factor Disinhibition-Anankastia). The subscales of the PiCD demonstrated acceptable to excellent reliability coefficients with Cronbach's α (.79 - .89) and McDonald's w (.76 - .90). Convergent and discriminant validity were examined in conjunction with other questionnaires and were found to be satisfactory. The results suggest that the German version of the PiCD is a reliable and largely valid measurement instrument for assessing ICD-11 maladaptive personality traits. However, further research on factor structure, appropriate cut-off as well as norm values is needed.
Dissociation Between Linguistic and Nonlinguistic Statistical Learning in Children with Autism

Statistical learning (SL), the ability to detect and extract regularities from inputs, is considered a domain-general building block for typical language development. We compared 55 verbal children with autism (ASD, 6 – 12 years) and 50 typically-developing children in four SL tasks. The ASD group exhibited reduced learning in the linguistic SL tasks (syllable and letter), but showed intact learning for the nonlinguistic SL tasks (tone and image). In the ASD group, better linguistic SL was associated with higher language skills measured by parental report and sentence recall. Therefore, the atypicality of SL in autism is not domain-general but tied to specific processing constraints related to verbal stimuli. Our findings provide a novel perspective for understanding language heterogeneity in autism.
