4-(2-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl) hydrazone) methyl)-2 methoxy phenol (IND-X) and 4-(2-(2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazono) methyl) benzene-1,3-diol (IND-Y) were synthesised by condensation reactions with 2,4-dinitrinophenylhydrazine and were observed to possess acid-base indicator properties. The study was conducted to explore and verify their use in different analytical situations and, consequently, validate them. Analysis of their use in acid-base titrations between strong acids/strong bases and weak acids/strong bases as well as pharmaceutical applications in the assay of ibuprofen pure powder and batch of ibuprofen tablets (400 mg) using standard methods in the British Pharmacopoeia (2020) was all considered. The validations were performed by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for the registration of Pharmaceuticals for Humans Q2 (R1) guidelines. The outcomes were statistically compared with existing conventional analytical approaches. Titrimetric data obtained were analyzed statistically by Student’s t-test and one-way ANOVA at a 95% confidence level. IND-X and IND-Y were shown to be similar in behaviour to phenolphthalein, methyl orange, and methyl red as visual indicators after preliminary evidence of sharp colour changes in acid, alkaline, and neutral pH solutions. The use of the two indicators in the assay of ibuprofen powder and tablets has also been established. The validation parameters considered were found to be consistent with respective acceptance criteria for analytical purposes. IND-X and IND-Y are therefore proposed as alternative acid-base indicators to methyl red, methyl orange, and phenolphthalein for routine volumetric analysis in students’ laboratory experiments. They also serve as alternative indicators to phenolphthalein for the titrimetric analysis of ibuprofen-based samples and products.

Authors: Wali Mubashara , Arshad Sadia , Huang Jianfei
Published: September 2022

This work is aimed at presenting a new numerical scheme for COVID-19 epidemic model based on Atangana-Baleanu fractional order derivative in Caputo sense (ABC) to investigate the vaccine efficiency. Our construction of the model is based on the classical SEIR, four compartmental models with an additional compartment V of vaccinated people extending it SEIRV model, for the transmission as well as an effort to cure this infectious disease. The point of disease-free equilibrium is calculated, and the stability analysis of the equilibrium point using the reproduction number is performed. The endemic equilibrium’s existence and uniqueness are investigated. For the solution of the nonlinear system presented in the model at different fractional orders, a new numerical scheme based on modified Simpson’s 1/3 method is developed. Convergence and stability of the numerical scheme are thoroughly analyzed. We attempted to develop an epidemiological model presenting the COVID-19 dynamics in Italy. The proposed model’s dynamics are graphically interpreted to observe the effect of vaccination by altering the vaccination rate.

Authors: Liao Qiang , Ge Peng , Lu Guangxuan , Song Yang , Ye Wenhui , Gao Jianping , Luo Xian
Published: September 2022

A model of investment casting of a titanium alloy gearbox based on the ProCAST software was established in this work, and the simulated result was used to optimize the casting process. The flow and temperature field of casting were simulated based on an actual pouring process. Casting defects and the solidification process were analyzed. The results show that the defects can be predicted by the simulation result exactly, and the simulated temperature field is in accordance with the actual process. Shrinkage and porosity are observably alleviated by remodelling the casting mould. The casting temperature field and solidification simulation results show that the casting defects arise from hot spots and heat accumulation. The temperature-time curve of different representative location nodes of casting further confirms the defect simulation results. In addition, the use of low-cost alloy elements reduces raw material costs. Compared with TC4 alloy, the mechanical properties of the casting remain unchanged.

Published: September 2022

In order to realize the evaluation of the rationality of an innovative talent training mode, an evaluation model of the rationality of the innovative talent training mode based on a BP neural network is proposed. On the basis of clarifying the principle of the BP neural network model, according to the method of parameter multisource control analysis, the multi-objective characteristic analysis of the rationality of the innovative talent training mode is realized to measure the difference and balance between the two variables of the rationality of the innovative talent training mode. A BP neural network algorithm is designed to find the best feature subset, and a feature sequence sampling and recombination model is constructed. Through reliability evaluation and nonparametric quantitative feature estimation, quantitative analysis and evaluation of the rationality of the innovative talent training mode are realized. The test results show that the confidence level and reliability of the rationality evaluation of the innovative talent training mode using this method are high.

Published: September 2022

The air distribution system is one of the key systems for ensuring the safety and comfort of the passenger aircraft. The large number of components poses a severe challenge to the efficiency, accuracy, and convergence of system simulation. For the 3D CFD method, the complex and large number of meshes leads to low computational efficiency. The 1D simulation has high efficiency, but the local accuracy is inadequate. To solve this problem, the 1D Fluid System Simulation Software Flomaster with the linearization algorithm is used to establish the system-level model. The flow characteristic curve is obtained by the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) method for the local irregular ducts and introduced into the 1D system model for iteration. The effects of local flow resistance and thermal insulation on the flow distribution and thermal performance of the system are studied using this simulation model. The results show that the local flow resistance affects the total flow and uniformity of the cabin distribution, the improvement of insulation performance is weakened with increasing insulation layer thickness, and the application of thicker insulation layers on the downstream pipeline is more advantageous to limit the maximum temperature change of the conditioned air.
C2C Model E-Commerce Credit Evaluation Model Based on Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Mu Wei , Ding HePing
Published: September 2022

The development of network computer technology and artificial intelligence technology promotes the generation of software agents. However, online shopping has inherent information asymmetry due to the anonymity and liquidity of C2C (Customer to Customer) transactions. In the virtual environment, buyers cannot see the physical products, and they do not experience online shopping in person. They can only select products through the seller’s pictures and descriptions. After payment, there may be some problems, such as sending the wrong product, the seller does not deliver the goods after receiving the goods, or the seller does not receive the payment after delivery, etc. Therefore, the credit problem is the bottleneck for the development of online shopping business. Therefore, in order to ensure the transaction security of buyers and sellers, major C2C online trading platforms at home and abroad have established a credit evaluation mechanism. However, due to the reliability of e-commerce technology, the legal environment of e-commerce, the ethical environment of e-commerce, and the problems of existing credit evaluation indicators. The development of e-commerce in China is very slow. Therefore, actively exploring the credit model of Chinese e-commerce is of great significance to promoting the development of Chinese market economy. In this paper, AI technology analyzes the credit evaluation management method of C2C e-commerce website for transaction participants. This paper summarizes some key factors that affect the establishment of C2C credit, and further finds that there are some problems in the credit evaluation model involved in the e-commerce process. These problems stem from the inability to properly deal with the current development of e-commerce in China. There are problems with its evaluation system and honest transaction process. In order to better promote the development of e-commerce, in view of the above problems, this paper proposes a new model of C2C e-commerce credit system based on the game theory model of e-commerce buyers and sellers of AI technology, and further improves the evaluation model and related measures to completely solve the problem. Credit value generally shows a growth trend, but the trend is not obvious.
Increased Sensitivity to Serotonin Syndrome in Cerebral Palsy
Authors: Schindzielorz Adam
Published: September 2022

Serotonin syndrome is characterized by symptoms of neuromuscular and autonomic excitation and altered mental status. It is most often drug induced with antidepressants being the main precipitants. However, other classes have been implicated as well including antipsychotics, antiemetic and pain medications, and lithium. The syndrome is typically induced by the combination of two or more serotonergic agents; however, there have been instances of serotonin syndrome occurring while a patient is on a single medication. The literature is limited regarding the study of risk factors associated with the production of serotonin syndrome while on only monotherapy or otherwise atypically causative agents. One such risk factor may be underlying neuromuscular pathology. This study is the first case series to our knowledge reporting two separate cases of serotonin syndrome being induced in patients with cerebral palsy as an underlying common factor.
Impact of Improved Forage Technology Adoption on Dairy Productivity and Household Income: A Propensity Score Matching Estimation in Northern Ethiopia
Authors: Tesfaye Mamaru , Gutema Paulos
Published: September 2022

Adoption of improved forage technologies remains to be one of a promising strategy to boost dairy productivity and enhance household income in many developing countries. However, there are limited rigorous impact evaluation studies on the contributions of such technologies on smallholder dairy productivity and household welfare. This paper examined the impact of improved forage technologies use on smallholder dairy productivity and farm household income in Northern Ethiopia. In this study, a cross-sectional survey design and a multistage stratified sampling procedure were employed. Primary data for the study were obtained from a random sample of 319 rural households, 128 of which are improved forage technology users and the rest are nonusers. The research employed the propensity score matching (PSM) procedure to determine the causal relationship between adoption of improved forage technologies and changes in milk yield and farm household income. Results from PSM revealed that households using improved forage technologies have increased the household milk yield (productivity) by 29.32% and farm income (welfare) by 19.56%. Higher milk yield and annual farm income were compared to those households not using such technologies. Our findings highlight the importance of promoting multiple improved forage technologies among rural smallholder’s dairy producers. Considering this potential, it is suggested that improved forage technology generation, dissemination, and adoption interventions be strengthened for optimum milk production and to attain optimum income under the smallholder farmers’ dairy production system. Moreover, the linkage among research, extension, universities, and farmers needs to be enhanced through facilitating a multistakeholder’s innovation platform.

Published: September 2022

Worldwide, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most diagnosed cancer in female and the third in men, arising from the epithelium of the colorectum. It is known that colorectal cancer is common in developed countries than in developing countries which may be due to inaccurate data on the existence of the disease in that region combined with embracing western lifestyle expressed by the current trend of changes in cultural, social, and lifestyle practices playing a major part in the etiology of CRC. The aim of this study was to document epidemiological, pathological characteristics, and prognostics determinants of patients diagnosed with CRC in Rwanda. The data from patients’ files and reviewed glass slides for 101 cases all from Kigali University Teaching Hospital (CHUK) were statistically analyzed and patient characteristics were described as mean and frequency accordingly. Comparisons were performed using chi square tests, Fisher’s exact test and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (CI).

Exploring the Mechanism Analysis of Men’s Retirement and Physical Activity Participation Based on the IV-Probit Model
Authors: Wu Jinhao
Published: September 2022

The issue of population aging is of great concern to all countries in the world, and China is one of the countries with more serious population aging. Under the situation of increasingly serious population aging, we should pay more attention to the life of the elderly after retirement. Paying attention to the health behavior and living conditions of the elderly population will contribute to the process of successful aging. Retirement is a critical point, and the transition period will have different effects on the health of the retired population, with some literature suggesting negative effects on the health of individuals after retirement, and others suggesting positive effects on health. Retirement has caused a lifestyle change in older adults, and few studies have addressed the impact of retirement on individuals’ choices of specific healthy lifestyles, particularly the impact of retirement on physical activity participation. In this study, we used data from the 2015, 2017, and 2018 China Social Tracking Survey (CGSS) to explore the effect of retirement on individual male physical activity participation using the sample size of retired male individuals from the three data periods and using the IV-Probit model. The results showed that retirement had a significant positive effect on individual men’s physical activity participation. In terms of the influence mechanism, physical health, psychological health, active learning during leisure time, and Internet use of retired individuals may be the main reasons for increasing physical activity participation. It provides a channel for China to encourage and support older adults to expand their physical exercise participation after retirement and improve their physical and mental health and to promote the shift of older adults’ postretirement lifestyle toward an active and healthy lifestyle.
Approaches to the Development of Language Intelligence in Multimedia English Teaching from the Perspective of Game Theory
Authors: Wei Nan
Published: September 2022

At present, the majority of English language learners use computers as an aid to support their learning. However, the existing software is relatively homogeneous, which can only correct the pronunciation errors of the English language. Due to the massive number of problems in the software itself, it is difficult for English language learners to correct the errors that occur in their pronunciation properly. In this study, a scoring mechanism is established from the game theory perspective of language intelligent development in combination with multimedia-assisted teaching from three perspectives, that is, acoustics, rhythm, and sense of speech. The output of deep learning is simulated by using network parameters based on language intelligent development to assess the language. Meanwhile, the teaching data and materials for the English language are uploaded and answered online in real time. In this way, students can have access to the course content shared by the teacher, which has a certain auxiliary effect on the English language learning of the students. With the aid of multimedia technology, an excellent English teaching model can be used to enhance the English language learning ability of students effectively and improve their interest and initiative in English learning with the English learning of students as the main body. It can be seen from the results of the simulation that students’ learning efficiency in exploring English language independent learning can be improved effectively mainly by making use of the reference database and aligning it with expert knowledge for error identification.

Published: September 2022

Recently, several research papers have addressed multiphase induction motor (IM) drives, owing to their several benefits compared to the three-phase motors, including increasing the torque pulsations frequency and reducing the rotor harmonic current losses. Thus, designing a robust controller to ensure the proper operation of such motors became a challenge. The present study reports the design of an effective second-order sliding mode control (SO-SMC) approach for a five-phase IM drive. The proposed control approach finds its strongest justification for the problem of using a law of nonlinear control robust to the system uncertainties of the model without affecting the system’s simplicity. The formulation of the proposed SO-SMC approach is a prescribed process to ensure the stability and proper dynamics of the five-phase IM. A detailed stability analysis is also presented for this purpose. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller, the five-phase IM drive is tested under different dynamic situations, including load changes and system uncertainties. The presented numerical results prove the ability of the designed SO-SMC to handle high system nonlinearities and maintain high robustness against uncertainties.

Published: September 2022

During the last few decades, the quality of water has deteriorated significantly due to pollution and many other issues. As a consequence of this, there is a need for a model that can make accurate projections about water quality. This work shows the comparative analysis of different machine learning approaches like Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest, Gradient Boost, and Ada Boost, used for the water quality classification. The model is trained on the Water Quality Index dataset available on Kaggle. Z-score is used to normalize the dataset before beginning the training process for the model. Because the given dataset is unbalanced, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) is used to balance the dataset. Experiments results depict that Random Forest and Gradient Boost give the highest accuracy of 81%. One of the major issues with the machine learning model is lack of transparency which makes it impossible to evaluate the results of the model. To address this issue, explainable AI (XAI) is used which assists us in determining which features are the most important. Within the context of this investigation, Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) is utilized to ascertain the significance of the features.

Despite the growing environmental consequences of cement production, geopolymer concrete now has gradually evolved as an ecologically sustainable product. This study experimentally investigates the effect of addition of different proportions (0%, 10%, and 20%) of rice husk ash (RHA) and polypropylene (PP) fibers (0%, 0.1%, and 0.3%) on the mechanical and durability characteristics of fly ash (FA)‐based geopolymer mortars. The strength property is assessed by testing the mortar specimen by uniaxial compressive strength and flexural strength while the durability properties were tested with water absorption, water sorptivity, and acid (10% concentration of H2SO4) resistance tests. The experimental findings revealed that the PP fiber addition is not significant in improving the compressive strength, while the addition up to 0.3% by volume had shown good improvement in flexural behavior. Water absorption increases with an increment in the replacement proportion of RHA. Water sorptivity also increases with an increase in RHA substitution levels. Furthermore, an artificial neural network prototype was proposed in this work to forecast the mechanical and durability properties of fiber reinforced FA‐RHA blended geopolymer mortar. The ANN architecture was constructed utilizing the mechanical and durability characteristics of FA‐RHA blended geopolymer mortar procured through experimental investigation. The RHA substitution proportion, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) liquid concentration, and polypropylene fiber content have been employed as input parameters in the construction of ANN framework. The predicted strength values of mechanical and durability tests achieved from the ANN framework agree well with experiment results. Use of geopolymer mortar has a high potential in repairing the structural elements, and further studies can be done on applying this mortar for the repairs.

Older age at diagnosis is consistently associated with worse clinical outcomes in prostate cancer. We sought to characterize gene expression profiles of prostate tumor tissue by age at diagnosis. We conducted a discovery analysis in The Cancer Genome Atlas prostate cancer dataset (n = 320; 29% of men >65 years at diagnosis), using linear regressions of age at diagnosis and mRNA expression and adjusting for TMPRSS2:ERG fusion status and race. This analysis identified 13 age-related candidate genes at FDR < 0.1, six of which were also found in an analysis additionally adjusted for Gleason score. We then validated the 13 age-related genes in a transcriptome study nested in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study and Physicians’ Health Study (n = 374; 53% of men >65 years). Gene expression differences by age in the 13 candidate genes were directionally consistent, and age at diagnosis was weakly associated with the 13-gene score. However, the age-related genes were not consistently associated with risk of metastases and prostate cancer–specific death. Collectively, these findings argue against tumor genomic differences as a main explanation for age-related differences in prostate cancer prognosis.

Prevention Relevance:

Older age at diagnosis is consistently associated with worse clinical outcomes in prostate cancer. This study with independent discovery and validation sets and long-term follow-up suggests that prevention of lethal prostate cancer should focus on implementing appropriate screening, staging, and treatment among older men without expecting fundamentally different tumor biology.

SER JUDEU: UMA HERANÇA GENÉTICA TRANSMITIDA UNICAMENTE PELO SANGUE?
Authors: Rocha Arlindo Nascimento
Published: September 2022

Esse artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre um dos temas mais polêmicos entre os judeus e os diversos movimentos judaicos, ou seja, a conversão ou não ao judaísmo de não-judeus. As leis rabínicas definem como judeu aquele que nasce de mãe judia; então, ser judeu é uma condição transmissível apenas pelo sangue ou qualquer um pode converter-se ao judaísmo? Na verdade nenhuma outra religião é tão marcada pela ideia de conversão como a religião judaica. Entretanto, o processo de conversão à religião judaica vem adquirido contornos cada vez mais rígidos, atualmente; o que revela a fragilidade judaica moderna, uma vez que, a incerteza está em todas as certezas e não reconhecê-la é querer impor-se ao futuro.

Esse martírio inspira poemas e é um marco na história judaica, estando presente no imaginário histórico do povo judeu por quase dezenove séculos.
“Home? Where? Where?” A Contemporaneidade em The Shawl
Authors: Bertin Carolina Sieja
Published: September 2022

Para Agamben (2009), o sujeito contemporâneo é aquele que, paradoxalmente, não se enxerga inserido em seu tempo, mas que, descolado e distante, consegue enxergar as sombras de seu presente. Pensando nisso, o presente trabalho tem o objetivo de estabelecer uma conexão entre as considerações de Agamben e as narrativas acerca da Shoah, tendo em vista que há uma tendência na atualidade de enxergar os campos de concentração na modernidade, de modo geral. O enfoque será dado ao livro The Shawl (1989), da escritora norte-americana Cynthia Ozick, levando em consideração a maneira interessante segundo a qual a autora constrói seu personagem principal contemporaneamente ligado ao passado.
A História da Morte do Sobrinho de Rabi Ishmael e Jacob de Kefar Sekhaniá: Intertextualidade na Literatura Talmúdica e a Teoria Benjaminiana da Narrativa
Authors: Leone Alexandre Goes
Published: September 2022

Este artigo busca entender as relações entre oralidade e polifonia na composição das narrativas da Agadá, a partir da comparação de duas versões de uma narrativa que aparece no Talmud Babilônico e no Talmud de Jerusalém, que são usadas como estudo de caso. Será discutida também a questão da interdependência entre as diversas versões das narrativas existentes na literatura rabínica observando o modo como os personagens são retratados, as diferenças entre as versões e as situações narradas. Uma versão joga luz na outra apontando e desvelando a intertexalidade nessa literatura elaborada na passagem da oralidade para a sua fixação por escrito. É proposta a utilização da teoria da narrativa feita por Walter Benjamin como marco o para entender o modo de composição e transmissão da Agadá. É com esse aparato que é buscada uma lente para entender a visão de mundo dos sábios do período talmúdico.
Genocídio Armênio: A História e a "Verdade" Oficial
Authors: Sanchez de Almeida Ligia Cristina
Published: September 2022

O Genocídio Armênio (1915-16) é negado até hoje com veemência pelo governo turco, com apoio de várias nações interessadas em manter a versão oficial em detrimento da verdade histórica. Infelizmente, as vozes dos sobreviventes demoraram demais para serem ouvidas e registradas enquanto testemunhos. Detalhes sobre esta tragédia, considerada como o protótipo do genocídio moderno, foram esquecidos por tempo suficiente para que Hitler proferisse a famosa frase: “afinal, quem fala da aniquilação dos Armênios hoje?”.
A Natureza da Linguagem na Criação do Mundo Através do Alfabeto Hebraico: Uma Comparação entre o Crátilo de Platão e o Sêfer Yetsiráh
Authors: Maghidman Marcelo
Published: September 2022

Em lugar de a linguagem haver sido criada pelo homem, o Misticismo Judaico acredita que o mundo e tudo o que nele existe foi criado por Deus por meio da linguagem, especificamente através das infinitas combinações do Alfabeto Hebraico (as vinte e duas letras e os dez primeiros números). Desta forma, o universo constitui-se em um fenômeno da linguagem. O presente texto discute a importância da linguagem e uma classe de Metafísica do Alfabeto Hebraico, comparando as distintas aproximações entre o Crátilo de Platão e o Sêfer Yetsiráh. Como parte da análise o texto apresenta a Teoria da Linguagem de Gershom Scholem e a Metafísica do Alfabeto Hebraico de Elyahu Lipiner.

Mulheres e o Holocausto. Narrativas de Sobreviventes Judias.
Authors: Souza Lilian Ferreira
Published: September 2022

A partir do registro das narrativas orais sobre o Holocausto pretendemos analisar testemunhos que expressem as trajetórias das mulheres  sobreviventes do nazismo. Como critério optamos pelas narrativas daquelas que passaram por campos de concentração e/ou de trabalho forçados, por guetos e/ou atuaram em frentes de resistência como partisans. O foco está nas histórias de vida daquelas que escolheram o Brasil como comunidade de destino pressionada pela política antissemita endossada pelo Terceiro Reich e países colaboracionistas que previam a “Solução Final” para o povo judeu. Assim os registros dos testemunhos têm como objetivo documentar estas narrativas redimensionadas à luz de documentos pessoais. Para nós - intermediários e interlocutores - esse exercício de reflexão ajudará a (re)pensar a sociedade que, ainda hoje, convive com novos genocídios.

A Mensagem do Profeta Isaías Referente à Campanha de Senaqueribe Contra Judá
Authors: Jesus Carolina Alvino Fortes de
Published: September 2022

Este artigo analisa os capítulos 36 e 37 do livro de Isaías, trecho referente ao ataque do rei assírio Senaqueribe contra o Reino de Judá durante o reinado de Ezequias, em 701 A.E.C. Para isso, pretende-se esboçar o contexto histórico a partir do estudo das fontes extrabíblicas de natureza epigráfica – o relato da campanha de Senaqueribe contra Judá nos anais reais assírios –, iconográfica – o painel encontrado no palácio de Senaqueribe em Nínive, cujos entalhes narram o cerco e a conquista da cidade de Lachish, do reino de Judá, durante sua campanha militar – e arqueológica – as escavações na cidade de Lachish. Além disso, para ampliar o entendimento sobre a passagem de Isaías,  conta-se com o auxílio das fontes bíblicas, encontradas, principalmente, no livro de Isaías e na narrativa sobre o acontecimento em II Reis.
Ulysses em Israel: Contextualização da Saga Joyceana em O Amante, de A. B. Yehoshua
Authors: Tápia Pérola Wajnsztejn
Published: September 2022

Ao escrever Ulysses, James Joyce estabelece um diálogo direto com a épica grega de Homero, importando a saga de Odisseu para o contexto irlandês de seu personagem, Leopold Bloom. Esta releitura, repleta de recriações e re-significações, por sua vez, inspira o escritor israelense A. B. Yehoshua na criação de seu romance O amante. O presente trabalho procura trazer à tona elementos do diálogo entre as obras de Joyce, escrita na Irlanda em 1922 e de Yehoshua, escrita em Israel em 1977.

O Estudo da Diferença de Ideologias Entre Gerações a Partir do Conto Yad Vashem
Authors: Wakrat Anath Czeresnia
Published: September 2022

O conto “Yad Vashem”, do escritor israelense Aharon Megued, publicado em 1955, narra a história do avô Ziskind, originário da Ucrânia, que residia em Israel. Quando Ziskind soube que sua neta Raia estava grávida, pediu que ela desse para o filho que ia nascer o nome de Mêndele, caso fosse homem. A partir daí começa a discussão sobre a escolha de um nome típico da tradição europeia, defendido pelo avô ou um nome israelense, próprio de uma ideologia sionista, exigido pela neta. O conflito revela uma crise de identidade profunda entre o imigrante e seus descendentes que se resume no choque entre o antigo e o novo, num conflito geracional capaz de colocar em jogo o passado e o futuro de um povo.

Sombras judaicas na poética de Eduardo Kac
Authors: Covas Iara Maia
Published: September 2022

Eduardo Kac, artista, criador e multimídia, vem desde a década de 1980 desenvolvendo trabalhos que transitam pelas fronteiras da arte, da ciência e da tecnologia. Das potencialidades poéticas dos novos suportes ao desenvolvimento de uma estética baseada na própria lógica da vida, uma miríade de questões atuais perpassa toda sua produção. Esta, porém, apesar de ampla e dividida de acordo com as próprias senhas criadas pelo artista (holopoesia, arte da telepresença, arte transgênica), possui um fio condutor que interliga temas e produz sentidos que, mesmo latentes, passam despercebidos àqueles que nada conhecem da história e cultura judaicas. A presente comunicação pretende iluminar este fio e discuti-lo a partir de alguns trabalhos.
O Aspecto Metafórico das Ampliações Lexicais Sofridas por Algumas Palavras da Língua Hebraica
Authors: Cruz Anna Cecília de Paula
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar, de forma concisa, as linhas gerais do projeto que venho desenvolvendo em nível de mestrado, Alguns aspectos metafóricos nas ampliações lexicais por ampliação semântica na língua hebraica. Minha proposta é demonstrar, por meio da perspectiva da semântica cognitiva, que algumas das ampliações lexicais sofridas no hebraico, por ampliação semântica, têm como base um processo cognitivo metafórico. De acordo com Lakoff e Johnson em “Metaphors we live by” (1980), nós pensamos e compreendemos o mundo por meio de metáforas. Assim, tentaremos demonstrar a tese destes autores, usando como exemplo as palavras hebraicas mekhdal (omissão, negligência), khassut (refúgio, patrocínio) e  hitlahavut (inflamação,  entusiasmo).
O Judeu nas Crônicas de Guerra de Jorge Amado
Authors: Muraca Márcio Henrique
Published: September 2022

Jorge Amado escreveu sobre diversos temas em torno da Segunda Guerra Mundial na coluna Hora da Guerra (1942-1945) do jornal baiano O Imparcial. Dentre eles, destaca-se a questão judaica, o que converge para o ideal libertário e humanista do autor. Comunista na época, Amado não revela o antissemitismo do governo Vargas de modo direto, mas denuncia a perseguição aos judeus no país, sobretudo a artistas como Lasar Segall, além das mazelas perpetradas a esse povo pelos nazifascistas na Europa.
Irmãos de Sangue no Cárcere: Os Cristãos-novos João e Diogo Rodrigues no Tribunal da Inquisição (Brasil e Portugal, Século XVIII)
Authors: Vieira Fernando Gil Portela
Published: September 2022

No início do século XVIII, a Inquisição Portuguesa prendeu vários cristãos-novos moradores na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Dentre estes, os irmãos João Rodrigues Calaça e Diogo Rodrigues Sanches, que pertenciam à família dos Calaças, perseguida por judaísmo desde a década de 1650. Suas prisões mostram a família como um dos fundamentos da ação do tribunal. Este texto discute as estratégias da Inquisição para romper laços familiares, aumentar o número de “culpados” e exercer o anti-semitismo próprio de sua atividade.
“Como Caíram os Valentes”: Uma Introdução ao Gênero Qinah
Authors: Moreira Jayme Alves
Published: September 2022

A partir das passagens de 2 Samuel 1:17-27 e 3:32-34,  este artigo propõe uma investigação do gênero qînāh[1] (“elegia”) no interior da Bíblia Hebraica, identificando os principais traços dele e comparando-o a gêneros próximos. O objetivo é compreender a função social desse gênero nos tempos bíblicos de forma a descobrir possíveis razões para a sua reduzida presença na Bíblia Hebraica. Finalmente, vai se constatar de que modo essas passagens tornam evidentes certos traços do personagem Davi, ao qual são atribuídos os textos, o que enriquecerá o entendimento dos relatos, contidos no livro de Samuel, que contam a sua ascensão ao trono e o seu reinado.

Role of Inferior Vena Cava Dynamics for Estimating Right Atrial Pressure in Congenital Heart Disease
Authors: Egbe Alexander C. , Connolly Heidi M. , Pellikka Patricia A. , Anderson Jason H. , Miranda William R.
Published: September 2022

Background:

Inferior vena cava (IVC) size and collapsibility (IVC dynamics) are used for estimating right atrial pressure (RAP). However, the diagnostic performance of the American Society of Echocardiography IVC criteria for estimating RAP in patients with congenital heart disease are unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of IVC dynamics for estimating RAP in adults with congenital heart disease.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective study of adults with congenital heart disease that underwent cardiac catheterization and echocardiogram at Mayo Clinic (2003–2019). IVC diameter was measured at inspiration (IVC
min
) and end-expiration (IVC
max
), and IVC collapsibility index (IVC
CI
) was calculated.

Results:

Based on 918 patients, we observed a good correlation between IVC
max
and invasive RAP (
r
=0.56,
P
<0.001); IVC
min
and RAP (
r
=0.58,
P
<0.001); and IVC
CI
(
r
=−0.72,
P
<0.001). There was excellent correlation between invasive RAP and estimated RAP using IVC
CI
(
r
=0.80,
P
<0.001). We observed that IVC
CI
<60% had superior diagnostic performance as compared with American Society of Echocardiography criteria (IVC
max
>2.1 cm, area under the curve difference 0.15,
P
<0.001; IVC
CI
<50%, area under the curve difference 0.09,
P
=0.008; combination of IVC
max
>2.1 cm; and IVC
CI
<50%, area under the curve difference 0.06,
P
=0.02). Estimated RAP >10 mm Hg based on IVC
CI
had comparable prognostic performance as invasive RAP but superior prognostic performance as the American Society of Echocardiography criteria.

Conclusions:

IVC
CI
<60% was the best criterion to identify patients with elevated RAP. IVC
CI
was comparable to invasively measured RAP in its relation to prognosis. Further studies are required to determine whether the use of IVC
CI
in clinical decision-making will improve clinical outcomes in this population.
