Confronto tra l’ontologia dimensionale di V.E. Frankl e il volume della persona di E. Mounier: una riflessione antropologica e metodologica
Authors: Carrasco de Paula Ignacio , Mangione Maria Addolorata
Published: December 2019

Nel centenario della nascita sia dello psichiatra viennese V.E. Frankl, che del filosofo E. Mounier, si è pensato di compiere un confronto tra le proposte antropologiche dei due Autori, che hanno vissuto in maniera parallela gli anni tragici del Novecento, esponendosi entrambi per la fede nei propri ideali e pagando in prima persona, offrendo con la testimonianza della propria vita un grande insegnamento. Entrambi hanno lasciato una traccia importante nella storia del pensiero, pur non essendo dei filosofi nel senso tradizionale: l’uno psichiatra, l’altro filosofo sì, ma al di fuori di accademie. Gli studi antropologici elaborati da entrambi mirano ad approfondire le dimensioni della persona, senza cadere in riduttive descrizioni in senso deterministico, senza operare frammentazioni né divisioni, ma facendo emergere l’integrità della persona umana, attraverso il riconoscimento della sua apertura alla spiritualità e alla trascendenza. Si è messo in luce il ricorso ad una metodologia che ha radici antiche: utilizzare delle metafore di natura geometrica, per esprimere delle similitudini efficaci e, nel nostro caso, adatte ad esprimere l’unità della persona, irriducibile ad una semplice somma di parti. L’auspicio è che la commemorazione di anniversari importanti si accompagni alla ripresa del pensiero di Autori che hanno ancora molto da dire, soprattutto quando l’attualità registra forme pericolose di negazione della dignità umana. ---------- Abstract not available in english language.

Thermodynamic properties of isoprene and monoterpene derived organosulfates estimated with COSMOtherm
Authors: Hyttinen Noora , Elm Jonas , Malila Jussi , Calderón Silvia M. , Prisle Nønne L.
Published: December 2019

Abstract. Organosulfates make significant contributions to atmospheric secondary organic aerosol (SOA), but little is still known about the thermodynamic properties of atmospherically relevant organosulfates. We have used the COSMOtherm program to calculate both gas- and condensed-phase properties of previously identified atmospherically relevant monoterpene and isoprene derived organosulfates. Properties include solubilities, activities and saturation vapor pressures, which are critical to the aerosol phase stability and atmospheric impact of organosulfate SOA. Based on the estimated saturation vapor pressures, the organosulfates of this study can all be categorized as semi- or low-volatile, with saturation vapor pressures 4 to 8 orders of magnitude lower than that of sulfuric acid. The estimated pKa values of all the organosulfates indicate a high degree of dissociation in water, leading in turn to high dissociation corrected solubilities. In aqueous mixtures with inorganic sulfate, COSMOtherm predicts a salting out of both the organosulfates and their sodium salts from inorganic co-solutes. The salting-out effect of ammonium sulfate (less acidic) is stronger than of ammonium bisulfate (more acidic). Finally, COSMOtherm predicts liquid-liquid phase separation in systems containing water and monoterpene derived organosulfates. The COSMOtherm estimated properties support the observed stability of organosulfates as SOA constituents and their long range transport in the atmosphere, but also show significant variation between specific compounds and ambient conditions.
Mujeres de las élites y cultura artística en el ‘Museo Pictórico’ de Antonio Palomino
Authors: De Carlos Varona María Cruz
Published: December 2019

El presente texto analiza la participación de las mujeres de las élites en la cultura artística de la España de la Edad Moderna a partir de las noticias contenidas en el Museo pictórico y escala óptica publicado en Madrid entre 1715-1724 por Antonio Palomino (Bujalance, Córdoba 1655-Madrid 1726). Una primera parte se ocupa de la presencia femenina en el Museo que, sin ser desde luego mayoritaria, aporta valiosas noticias en torno a las mujeres y la cultura artística europea del momento. La segunda parte se centra en las menciones a casos específicos de mujeres de las élites hispanas y analiza varios testimonios materiales conservados, combinando las referencias teóricas expresadas en el tratado con las huellas materiales de la producción artística de las mujeres de las élites en el pasado. Con ello se pretende reconsiderar el papel de estas mujeres, consideradas en la historiografía artística como una rareza exótica o como meras aficionadas, en la cultura artística de su tiempo.
De la corte del Cielo a la hagiografía genealógica. Santidad y nobleza en los siglos XVI y XVII
Authors: Terrasa Lozano Antonio
Published: December 2019

En este artículo se analizan los discursos genealógicos presentes en las dedicatorias de las hagiografías patrocinadas por nobles entre los siglos XVI y XVII. Este análisis se enmarca dentro de un doble contexto: por una parte, el de la imagen teológica del cielo concebido como una corte nobiliaria barroca. Por la otra, del proceso de asimilación de los linajes nobiliarios de la figura de los santos, presentados como miembros de la nobleza, y, a la vez, del intento de los linajes de apropiarse de la nobleza sobrenatural de sus antepasados canonizados.
Dos hidalgas 'enamoradas': escritura epistolar femenina, pasiones y estrategias (siglos XVI-XVIII)
Authors: Usunáriz Jesús M.
Published: December 2019

El objetivo de este estudio es centrarse en las cartas de amor escritas por mujeres en los siglos XVI y XVII. Se examinan las críticas contra este tipo de intercambio epistolar por parte de los moralistas y las convenciones estilísticas expuestas en algunos tratados de escritura epistolar. Finalmente se analizan dos ejemplos cartas amorosas escritas por dos hidalgas vascas, en donde hacen uso de un lenguaje apasionado y cortés y, al mismo tiempo, revelan sus propias estrategias, intereses y actitudes conforme a unas circunstancias sociales, jurídicas y culturales concretas.
¿Príncipes o tiranos? La 'Ciropedia' de Jenofonte, la monarquía aqueménida y los 'specula principum' de la modernidad (siglo XVI)
Authors: García Sánchez Manel
Published: December 2019

La Ciropedia de Jenofonte ofreció a los humanistas un modelo de soberano ideal que reinaba por deber y con el apoyo de la aristocracia, pero cuya labor era entendida como un servicio fundado también en la legalidad. El speculum principis de Jenofonte estuvo motivado por la búsqueda de un líder ideal, una necesidad sentida como imperativa en la modernidad del siglo XVI, también frente a la amenaza turca, desde Italia o España hasta los Países Bajos, la Gran Bretaña o Francia. Su Ciro marcó el camino a seguir a los defensores del absolutismo monárquico en su apelación a la razón de estado y, en especial, en la disputa contra los populares modelos republicanos de inspiración platónica o aristotélica. Jenofonte y su Ciropedia satisfacían además dos de las grandes pasiones del humanismo, la política y la educación.
La anaciclosis polibiana, principio de autoridad durante el periodo constituyente de los Estados Unidos
Authors: Martínez Maza Clelia
Published: December 2019

Uno de los rasgos esenciales de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos es la separación de poderes entre el poder ejecutivo, legislativo y judicial, solo posible gracias al sistema de pesos y contrapesos. Los padres fundadores propusieron este mecanismo y el principio del gobierno mixto como instrumentos eficaces para prevenir la amenaza de la “anaciclosis”, la degeneración natural de las tres formas simples de gobierno. La fórmula, tal y como la describe Polibio en el libro VI de sus Historias, tuvo una influencia decisiva en los debates del periodo constituyente.
Usos y apropiaciones del cinismo griego en la contracultura contemporánea
Authors: Notario Pacheco Fernando
Published: December 2019

Las relaciones entre las tradiciones intelectuales del mundo clásico y las contemporáneas han sido objeto frecuente de investigación por parte de los estudiosos de la Antigüedad. No obstante, ciertas tendencias filosóficas y culturales han recibido un grado inferior de atención, como pudiera ser el caso del cinismo. Del mismo modo, los usos y apropiaciones de la Antigüedad clásica han tendido a contemplarse desde determinadas tradiciones intelectuales contemporáneas, abandonando el análisis de este problema en otras. El presente artículo analiza la relación que se establece entre la contracultura estadounidense emergente desde la década de 1960 y el cinismo clásico a través de la presencia de la figura de Diógenes de Sinope en la prensa contracultural del periodo. De esta manera se ofrecen nuevas perspectivas sobre las dinámicas de apropiación del legado clásico por parte de grupos que conscientemente se definen como contrarios al establishment político, social y cultural, y las limitaciones y contradicciones que derivan de ello.
Minorities, volatile identities and (mis-)identification: a holistic reading of HBO’s 'Girls'
Authors: Argyriou Konstantinos
Published: December 2019

La serie Girls, de Lena Dunham, ha provocado interés y controversias, particularmente a lo largo de sus primeras temporadas, por su título intencionado y su contenido, frecuentemente oscilando entre feminismo y postfeminismo. El objetivo de este artículo es examinar las implicaciones del título en términos de representación e identificación, así como una serie de cuestiones textuales planteadas en las últimas temporadas, aún no investigadas de manera proporcionada, con el fin de rastrear y discutir omisiones y retratar el desarrollo posterior de los personajes. Por esta razón, primero se utiliza la serie como mapa para explorar la noción de condición de chica (girlhood) en el ambiente contemporáneo y se aventuran comparaciones con la feminidad, la virilidad y la noción de niño. Seguidamente, se desea revelar el debate sobre la exclusión racial y de género. Finalmente, se emplea una lectura transversal basada en la discusión de críticas positivas y negativas, pero también en otras lecturas estructuradas de Girls. Nos inclinamos hacia el paradigma de la mis-identificación o identificación parcial como una forma queer de ver la serie, que permite una revisión puntual a través de diferentes ángulos, por un lado, y que reconoce los intentos de la autora de ajustarse a la retroalimentación de las audiencias, por el otro. En general, opinamos que Girls sobrepasa las trivialidades que son comunes en la televisión de calidad contemporánea, incluso al no ser completamente representativo.
«Vivir en el paraíso»: escenarios de contienda entre la segunda generación de migrantes yucatecos en Cancún, Quintana Roo
Authors: Be Ramírez Pedro Antonio
Published: December 2019

Este artículo trata de comprender la manera en que la segunda generación de migrantes yucatecos radicados en Cancún, Quintana Roo, se asumen y/o se identifican con respecto a la cultura maya yucateca a partir de situarse en un contexto donde lo local y lo global se encuentran presentes. Las formas o contenidos culturales que aquí se discuten, como la lengua maya, el uso de la indumentaria típica, las prácticas o costumbres mayas e incluso el portar apellidos mayas, son elementos que ponen en juego sus pertenencias, ya sea para reivindicarse o diferenciarse con respecto al otro. Estos referentes socioculturales, de raíces indígenas y transmitidos por los padres, constituyen ejes de análisis donde los prejuicios y la discriminación sirven de engarce para aceptar o rechazar las pertenencias de su herencia cultural maya.
The Moderating Effect of Firm Characteristics on the Association Between Accounting Conservatism and Cash Holdings
Authors: Soliman Walid Shehata
Published: December 2019

Recent studies are interested in the determinants of cash holdings (CASH), some of these studies focus on conservatism, as one of these determinants. In light of a debate on the nature of the association between conservatism and CASH, this paper discusses and investigates the answers for three questions, the first question about the direct association between conservatism and CASH, the second question about the moderating effect of firm characteristics on this association, the third question about the effect of adopting Egyptian Accounting Standards (EAS) since 2016 on the last association. This paper focuses on Egyptian listed firms in Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX), especially EGX 100, for six years period from 2013 to 2018 for 11 main sectors, 125 firms and 703 unbalances panel data observations. The findings indicate that (1) conservatism has a negative effect on CASH, (2) only firm size has a moderating and positive effect on the association between conservatism and CASH, (3) firm leverage, firm growth opportunity, and firm managerial ownership do not have a moderating effect on the last association. (4) Adopting EAS in 2016 by Egyptian listed firms gives the management of these firms' suitable chances to control CASH using its association with conservatism.
End of life – The nurses’ perspective
Authors: Boby Saumya
Published: December 2019

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) support is provided with the aim of maintaining the vital functions, reducing mortality and morbidity in patients with a severe critical illness. Despite having newly developed technologies and improvement in care, the death rate in the intensive care unit remains high, ranging between 20-35%. The care that people receive at the end of their lives has a profound impact not only upon them but also upon their families and carers.

End of life (EOL) in the ICU is a challenge. Nature and spirituality have been superseded by all that medical science has to offer by way of technology and life support, prolonging the dying process and dictating the time of death.

Death as it occurs in the ICU is neither simple nor natural. Caring for dying patients and their families is thought to be most stressful and painful to the nurses who constantly attend to the patients whereas other healthcare providers can visit and then walk away. There are only limited studies from the perspective of critical care nurses on obstacles and/or supportive behaviors that either restrict or promote good care for dying patients even though there are adequate documentation of the difficulties and inadequacies of providing EOL care to patients.

It is well identified that the nurses have a decision making role as they act as a link between families and physicians in decisions at the end of life while interpreting and explaining information.

It has been noted that the nursing paradigm of enhancing communication, reducing symptom burden, and supporting families are aligned with the common domains of EOL care. The study using the grounded theory approach to formulate a conceptual framework of the nursing role in EOL decision making in an ICU setting concluded that the core concept, supporting the journey, became evident in four major themes: Being There, A Voice to Speak Up, Enable Coming to Terms, and Helping to Let Go. Nurses describe being present with patients and families to validate feelings and give emotional support, nursing work, while bridging the journey between life and death, imparting strength and resilience and helping overcome barriers to ensure that patients receive holistic care. The conceptual framework challenges nurses to be present with patients and families at the end of life, clarify and interpret information, and help families come to terms with end-of-life decisions and release their loved ones. Thus involving the nurses in the multidisciplinary decision making of EOL care will be beneficial.

Nurses play a very important role in EOL care by providing family care and collaborating with the rest of the medical team. Working as a nurse within the wider ICU team requires good collaborative and communication skills and few studies have focused on how we foster these skills to enhance EOL care in the ICU. Little is known about the role of nurses in end of life in the critical care setting, and therefore a grounded theory study in this area is needed to further understand this important role.
Mecanicismo, finalidade e a teoria da preexistência dos germes em Malebranche
Authors: Zilber Kontic Sacha
Published: December 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a articulação feita por Malebranche entre a física mecanicista o finalismo em sua teoria da preexistência dos germes. Pretendemos mostrar como essa articulação permite que o oratoriano forneça uma resposta ao problema, deixado por Descartes, da explicação mecânica da geração dos corpos organizados. Assim, tomamos como ponto de partida (1) as tentativas de Descartes de fornecer uma explicação mecânica à geração para, em seguida (2), analisar a noção de finalidade no ocasionalismo de Malebranche e, finalmente (3), a articulação entre mecanicismo e finalismo na teoria da preexistência dos germes.
Da organização cartesiana à desorganização sadiana: Sade e o conceito de organização nos séculos XVII e XVIII
Authors: Carnicero de Castro Clara
Published: December 2019

"Organização" é um conceito amplamente empregado nos romances filosóficos de Sade. O sentido do termo, contudo, parece mudar conforme a teoria do personagem. Tal polissemia não é uma invenção de Sade, pois pode-se discernir, em obras filosóficas dos séculos XVII e XVIII, pelo menos cinco significados diferentes para a palavra: um sinônimo de máquina cartesiana, uma disposição específica da matéria que possibilita a vida (Cyrano), a forma com que a matéria viva se dispõe num todo contínuo (Ménuret), um mero arranjo geométrico de partículas (Diderot), uma propriedade da matéria (Robinet). O objetivo deste artigo é esclarecer problemas de interpretação do romance sadiano referentes ao uso do conceito de organização pelos personagens. Para isso, será preciso, primeiro, examinar os principais sentidos do conceito nos séculos XVII e XVIII para aplicar, em seguida, os diferentes significados aos discursos dos libertinos. Trata-se de analisar como a plurivocidade do conceito na Idade Moderna se estende ao romance sadiano e de que maneira um sentido específico de organização modifica teorias acerca de um mesmo objeto ou acorda discursos sobre assuntos diferentes.
A linguagem e as formas da natureza: breve estudo da noção de força na filosofia e nas ciências do século XVIII
Authors: Fragelli Isabel
Published: December 2019

O conceito de força exerceu um papel central nas transformações que ocorreram na ciência física na passagem do século XVII para o século XVIII. A forte reação ao sistema mecanicista elaborado por Descartes, no qual não havia propriamente um lugar para esse conceito, levou ao surgimento das teorias dinâmicas que, tais como as de Leibniz e Newton, tiveram forte influência no desenvolvimento da história natural setecentista. Uma vez que a biologia se constituiria como um conjunto autônomo de conhecimentos apenas cem anos mais tarde, a partir das obras de Lamarck e Darwin, os naturalistas daquela época buscavam ainda os meios de circunscrever e determinar o domínio específico dos fenômenos vitais. Nesse sentido, muitos deles importaram a noção de força da física clássica para suas teorias, a fim de que pudessem de algum modo determinar, ainda que mediante uma simples analogia, o elemento "incognoscível" da natureza orgânica.
Rousseau e a botânica: uma promenade entre observação científica e contemplação
Authors: Tredanaro Emanuele
Published: December 2019

Resumo: Neste trabalho pretende-se apresentar algumas reflexões sobre a trajetória que leva Rousseau não apenas a aproximar-se à botânica, mas, sobretudo, a definir seu estatuto epistemológico, bem como metodológico. Nesse sentido, propõe-se mostrar em que termos – no interior do amplo panorama intelectual rousseauniano oriundo dos escritos e das cartas dos últimos três lustros da vida do filosofo genebrino – a botânica assume, para Rousseau, uma peculiar autônoma fisionomia e, ao mesmo tempo, torna-se paradigma para a própria filosofia. Rousseau and botany: a promenade between scientific observation and contemplationAbstract: This paper aims to present some reflections about the trajectory that leads Rousseau not only to approach botany, but, above all, to define its epistemological as well as methodological status. In this sense, we propose to show in what terms – in the broad Rousseauan intellectual panorama related to writings and letters of the last sixteen years of the Genevan philosopher’s life – botany assumes for Rousseau a peculiar autonomous physiognomy and, at the same time, becomes a paradigm for philosophy itself.Keywords: Rousseau; botany; epistemology; promenade; observation; herborization.
Por uma poética do olhar: dos dilemas da imagem na fenomenologia da obra de arte
Authors: Costa Solange
Published: December 2019

Este trabalho examina a questão do olhar na obra de arte a partir da fenomenologia. Investiga, a princípio, os pressupostos que, desde Platão, tornaram a imagem (eidos) um elemento filosófico por excelência. A abordagem se separa da filosofia platônica e da noção de olhar como epistême e leva a discussão para o âmbito da fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty, que pensa e compreende a realidade pelo olhar num duplo significado, que vê a si mesmo e também é visto por ele. A obra de arte, nesse âmbito, não é apenas um objeto que revela algo a ser contemplado, mas entrevê e cria o próprio mundo no qual o homem ganha sentido. O artigo se divide em três tópicos: o primeiro trata brevemente da importância do olhar na mitologia grega; o segundo, expõe a concepção clássica do olhar na filosofia e o terceiro, discute a possibilidade de um olhar fenomenológico evocado pela arte.
Após o fim da arte europeia: uma análise decolonial do pensamento sobre a produção artística
Authors: Costa Rachel
Published: December 2019

O presente texto parte de uma analogia com a obra “Após o fim da arte: a arte contemporânea e os limites da história” de Arthur Danto para pensar perspectivas da produção artística após a decretação de seu fim, ou seja, após o momento em que os modelos tradicionais de pensar e fazer arte passaram a não se enquadrar às próprias obras de arte. A perspectiva abordada traz à tona os contextos de visibilidade e de participação do mundo da arte, o qual acompanha um movimento simultâneo de globalização e regionalização. Para tanto, o presente artigo fará uma analise decolonial da tese de Arthur Danto, para então explicitar de que modo ela não se mostra suficiente. Por fim, trará para a discussão os conceitos de perspectivismo e multinaturalismo trabalhados por Eduardo Viveiros de Castro para apontar caminhos que permitam pensar a arte para além dos limites da arte europeia.
É possível haver arte sem fim?
Authors: Trombetta Gerson
Published: December 2019

O artigo analisa a finalidade interna da arte, ou seja, como ela se estrutura, que tipo de relação há entre suas partes e sua origem comum com a forma geral do ajuizamento estético. O argumento principal, seguindo as teses expostas na Crítica da Faculdade do Juízo de Kant, é que as características do juízo sobre o belo encontram na arte um “caso de aplicação” compatível uma vez que as estruturas formais de ambos coincidem. Na produção da arte, quem realiza tal coincidência, na peculiar definição de Kant, é o gênio.

A piedade no Emílio: solução possível para leitura smithiana do Segundo Discurso?
Authors: Vargas Thiago
Published: December 2019

Não é anódino que Adam Smith, em célebre carta para a Edinburgh Review, tenha ressaltado passagens relativas a problemas de filosofia moral do Discurso sobre a desigualdade. Chegando a aproximar Rousseau de Mandeville, distancia-os, contudo, por meio de um conceito fundamental: a piedade. Nesse artigo, examinaremos as consequências dessa leitura, analisando-a, no entanto, sob a luz de Emílio. Mais precisamente, pretendemos desenvolver a seguinte hipótese: enquanto o Segundo Discurso (1755) apresenta-se como um diagnóstico crítico da moral do “sistema dos políticos modernos”, no Emílio (1762) encontramos uma solução possível, através da educação do homem no percurso da formação do juízo, para os problemas morais impostos aos indivíduos da sociedade comercial. Examinaremos detidamente esse segundo momento, ou seja, verificaremos se as noções desenvolvidas de amor de si, identificação e piedade, podem indicar a posição do pensamento rousseauniano em relação ao debate filosófico-moral ligado à economia política de seu tempo.
Simondon (novo)materialismo? Um movimento para além do pensamento político moderno
Authors: Bardin Andrea
Published: December 2019

Abstract: This paper combines Simondon’s philosophy of individuation with some aspects of post-humanist and‘new materialist’ thought, while, at the same time, remaining within the ambit of a more classically ‘historical’characterisation of materialism. Two keywords drawn from Karen Barad and Simondon respectively – ‘ontoepistemology’and ‘axiontology’ – represent the red thread of a narrative that connects the early modern invention of civil science(emblematically represented here by the conceptual couple Descartes-Hobbes) to Wiener’s cybernetic theory ofsociety. The political stakes common to these forms of what I call ‘banal’ materialism, Simondon attacked ontologically,epistemologically and politically. The conceptual tools Simondon’s philosophy of individuation elaborates prove tosupport a ‘non-banal’ materialist critique of the alleged ‘unsocial sociability’ of human nature theorised in modernpolitical theory. A genuine materialist approach, as I will argue, allows us to shift political thinking from politicsconceived as a problem to be solved to politics as an arena of strategic experimentation.
Capacitação de profissionais para intervenção em comportamentos aberrantes: Elaboração de material didático e validação social
Authors: Yazawa Thaís , Fornazari Sílvia Aparecida
Published: December 2019

Pessoas com deficiência intelectual severa, muitas vezes continuam a margem dos serviços de atendimento especializado, apesar das políticas de inclusão escolar e social para essas pessoas.  Esses indivíduos podem apresentar comportamentos aberrantes, um conjunto de comportamentos mal adaptativos que podem ser fonte de estigmatização dessas pessoas, dificultando a inclusão e o acesso ao tratamento especializado. O presente artigo versa sobre a elaboração e validação social de um material didático sobre princípios básicos da Análise do Comportamento, Análise funcional, e os procedimentos de Reforçamento diferencial de comportamentos alternativos e Reforçamento diferencial de comportamento incompatível, que podem ser utilizados para diminuir a emissão dos comportamentos aberrantes e aumentar a frequência de comportamentos adequados, aumentando o repertório comportamental das pessoas com deficiência intelectual severa. O material didático foi entregue aos 11 profissionais da saúde participantes, que realizaram as atividades propostas pelo mesmo. Foi aplicado nos participantes o Therapy Attitude Inventory (TAI) adaptado para realizar uma validação social do material desenvolvido, com relatos positivos sobre a necessidade de haver um material como esse para os profissionais compreenderem os comportamentos aberrantes. Tais resultados também puderam ser demonstrados na correlação do TAI e na entrevista final.
Seleção de Culturantes por dois tipos de metacontingências
Authors: Baia Fábio Henrique , Lemes Isabella Guimarães , Da Silva Poliana Ferreira , Dos Santos Baia Rogerio Guaita , Cabral Biano Alina Barboza
Published: December 2019

Metacontingência do tipo 1 descreve relações condicionais entre culturantes – contingências comportamentais entrelaçadas (CCEs), consequência individual (CI), e produto agregado (PA) – e consequências culturais (CC). O tipo 2 envolve programações nas quais CC selecionam tanto respostas quanto culturantes. Portanto, não há CI. Este estudo verificou se a programação de diferentes tipos de metacontingências produziria diferentes padrões de respostas ou culturantes. Participaram duas tríades de universitários. Na condição A vigoraram metacontingências do tipo 1. Na condição B, metacontingências do tipo 2.  A Tríade 1 foi exposta ao delineamento ABAB. Já a Tríade 2 ao delineamento BABA. Na condição A, participantes emitiram respostas e engajaram em culturantes que produziam consequências. Na condição B houve queda na frequência de respostas e manutenção dos culturantes. Conclui-se que a programação de diferentes tipos de metacontingências produz diferentes efeitos sobre comportamentos. Não foram observados efeitos de ordem de exposição as condições. Discute-se ainda a interação entre operantes e culturantes tanto na aquisição quanto na manutenção do comportamento em grupo.
Not All Finns Think Alike: Varying Views of Assessment in Finland
Authors: Franco Ashleigh
Published: December 2019

Finnish students have been among the world’s strongest performers on standardized assessments throughout the past decade. Consequently, educators and scholars are interested in how to explain such results. A common explanation, as seen on social media, is that Finnish educators do not regularly assess their students. This study explores educators’ views on assessment practices in Finnish education. First, the literature on assessment practices in Finland is reviewed. Then, using narrative inquiry as a research method, Finnish educators’ views on assessment practices are examined. The research participants were two professors, two novice teachers, and two pre-service teachers, all connected to the same prominent university-based primary teacher education program in Finland. The narratives of the six participants in connection with assessment in Finland’s education system highlight the variance in opinions about international standardized assessments as well as assessment practices at the classroom and school levels. Further, participants’ narratives reveal the influence students’ socioeconomic status may have on teachers’ assessment practices.

Assessment of efficacy and effectiveness of some extracted bio-chemicals as bio-fungicides on wood
Authors: Salem Mohamed Z. M. , Hamed Safa Abd El-Kader Mohamed , Mansour Maisa M. A.
Published: December 2019

The present study investigates in-vitro the antifungal activity of two extracts (ethyl ether extracts of Schinus terebinthifolius ripened fruits and Pinus rigida heartwood) and two essential oils (Thymus vulgaris and Origanum majorana leaves) against two species of fungi; Trichoderma harzianum and Aspergillus niger. The results clearly show that O. majorana oil and P. rigida wood extract had the highest activity against both fungi and were chosen for the application on four wood species; Weeping-Wreath Wattle (Acacia saligna), Beech (Fagus sylvatica), Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) and Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida). Additionally, their impact on the wood structure was examined by FTIR, SEM and colorimetry. The study suggests that O. majorana oil appears to show the best results and could be used as friendly bio-fungicides to protect wood objects without changing their structures.
Consumer perception of environmentally sustainable products of Slovak wood processing enterprises
Authors: Malá Denisa , Sedliačiková Mariana , Drábek Josef , Jelačić Denis , Minárová Martina
Published: December 2019

To provide environmentally sustainable development of a wood processing enterprise, it is necessary to implement environmentally sustainable products. The study focuses on identifying the factors of consumer perception of environmentally sustainable wood processing products and recommends how to ensure such product development. The main objective of the research was to survey the perception of environmentally sustainable wood processing products by consumers and to identify the factors that consumers take into account when making purchasing decisions. The survey was conducted by the method of questionnaire, addressing 754 adult inhabitants of Slovakia. The results revealed that the most frequently indicated reason for purchasing environmentally sustainable wood processing products was that they had a positive impact on health. The most commonly identified reason why consumers do not buy these products was their high price. The survey results should help understand the needs of consumers with regard to the environmental aspects of wood processing products, and thus ensure better satisfaction of their environmental needs.
Application of massage in skin hypersensitivity
Authors: Wilk Iwona
Published: December 2019

Introduction: The dysfunction of the reception, analysis and responding to sensory impulses may refer to many areas such as superficial and deep cutaneous feeling, temperature and motor orientation in space. Over and under sensitivity can be found in healthy and sick children, for example, with Asperger’s syndrome. The symptom may also affect the adults with diabetes in whom oversensitivity to touch appears as a complication. Excessive reaction of the human body to touch is the reason of abnormal motor development in children. In adult persons this might disturb regular, every day activities. In other cases it can make physiotherapy impossible. Material and methods: The classical massage was performed to a patient with many disease symptoms and varied complications to reduce hypersensitivity to touch and decrease pain. We used superficial stroking but the most important was the intensiveness and the direction of the strokes. The purpose of the massage was to reduce the hyperesthesia of the skin and decrease pain in the area of the patient’s feet, ankles and calves.Results: After the massage the reduction of hyperesthesia and decrease in pain were achieved which made the continuation of another form of physiotherapy possible.Conclusions: We can use the massage, because it is an effective therapy in the dysfunction of the superficial receptors on the skin. After the massage we decrease the pain in the diseased area, where the disorder of feeling appears. The massage can serve as an introductory part to another kind of physiotherapy, individual for every patient.

The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effect of the addition of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) extract and goat’s rue extract (Galega officinalis L.) to rabbit feed on their breeding and milk performance. The research material was female Blanc de Termonde White rabbits (n = 15) and their offspring. The research was conducted on three consecutive litters of the does. The does were divided into three feeding groups, with 5 rabbits in each group. The rabbits in each feeding group were fed ad libitum with commercial pelleted complete feed. The control feed for the does contained wheat bran, dried alfalfa, extracted soybean seeds, barley, sugar beet pulp, sunflower extraction meal and a vitamin and mineral supplement. The rabbits in the first experimental group received feed containing 2% fennel extract, while the feed for the second group was enriched with a 2% addition of goat’s rue. The rabbits were mated 10 to 14 days after kindling. To examine the effect of the herbal feed supplements on the reproductive and milk performance of the rabbits, the following information was collected: number of rabbits born per litter, litter weight at 24 hours after birth and on the 21st day of life, and milk yield. Statistical analysis was performed using the SAS statistical package. The analysis showed that the addition of fennel extract and goat’s rue extract significantly affects litter size and milk yield.
Supplier Selection by Using a Fuzzy Integrated Model for a Textile Company

Published: December 2019

Supply chain management determining the competitive position of corporations in a rival and fast-changing environment is one of the favourite topics in engineering economics. Since the performance of suppliers affects the performance of the whole supply chain, the selection of a supplier is a significant problem in supply chain management. When solving a supplier selection problem, there are many criteria needed to be considered. Therefore, the supplier selection problem is a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. In the supplier selection process, most of the time, expert data is involved, and the judgement of experts includes ambiguous, imprecise and uncertain data. Thus, there are many methods to solve supplier selection issues by utilising fuzzy set theory, grey theory and rough theory to handle vagueness of a problem. This study also proposes a fuzzy model to solve this problem. In this study, an integrated fuzzy MCDM model including the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and the Fuzzy Operational Competitiveness RAting (Fuzzy OCRA) will be proposed to solve supplier selection problem for a Turkish textile company. The FAHP is utilised to determine the weights of considered eight criteria and the fuzzy OCRA is used to rank five fabric suppliers concerning their performances on eight measures. This study is original and it contributes to the literature in two ways: first, this study proposes a fuzzy extension of the OCRA method and second, this study offers a new integrated fuzzy MCDM model consisting of the FAHP and the Fuzzy OCRA. By using a real case study of supplier selection problem, it is attempted to indicate the applicability of the new integrated fuzzy MCDM model for actual circumstances.

The study of online shopping motives becomes more important because of the increasing number of online shops and the fast-growing size of the online retail market. This makes a significant impact on the consumer experience and changes the behaviour of people, profit, and the use of the distribution channels. The novelty of this research is based on the development of the classification model, which explores economic demand formation motives perceived by sellers in online shopping. It consists of: deliberate, reasonable-price shopping model, clear and easy, lower-price shopping model, fast, easy shopping model, fast and informed, reasonable-price shopping model, fast, low-price shopping model, clear and easy shopping model, clear, lower-price shopping model, and cheap and simple shopping model. These models are developed based on the interdependence of the following created latent models: demand inclination and growth interferences model, demand emergence stimulation model, and demand growth acceleration and growth incentives model. The study of online shopping economic motives perceived by the sellers has revealed that it is the multidimensional structure, which is essentially based on the understanding of the added value of shopping. This value usually depends on a set of factors that reduce the shopping attractiveness and, vice versa, induce it. For this study, the survey was used, and the experts representing top e-commerce managers and owners were selected. The five categories empirically defining the economic demand motives were extracted. Additionally, three categories that are unexplored empirically also were extracted due to a limited number of possible categories. The complete eight-category model fully describes the internationally relevant models of an e-commerce business.

Agricultural and processing activities generate enormous amounts of tobacco waste, and the stalks left after harvesting of the leaves constitute a significant share. The stalks of common tobacco (N. tabacum L.) were considered a promising source for processing and recycling, but very little is known about the properties of the stalks from other Nicotiana species. The aim of present study was to examine the performance of stalk powders from three Nicotiana species grown side-by-side in Bulgaria for the ability to remove Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solutions. The characterization of applied biosorbents was conducted by FTIR analysis. Batch experiments were carried out and the effects of different adsorption process parameters were determined. Maximum removal efficiencies of 99.13±0.55%, 98.33±0.58% and 95.00±0.50% for N. tabacum, N. rustica L. and N. alata Link&Otto, respectively, were obtained at pH 3.0, adsorbent dosage 5 g/L, initial Cr (VI) concentration 10 mg/L, temperature 25.0 ± 0.5oC, agitation speed 200 rpm and contact time 60 min. The Langmuir and Freundlich models fitted well the equilibrium isotherms experimental data. Based on the values determined for the maximum adsorption capacity, the powder from N. alata stalks was found to have higher affinity (9.87 mg/g) for Cr (VI) ions than those obtained from N. tabacum (8.38 mg/g) and N. rustica (6.96 mg/g) stalks.

During the last two decades, interest in cellulosic nanomaterials has greatly increased. Among these nanocelluloses, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) exhibit outstanding properties. Indeed, besides their high crystallinity, cellulose nanocrystals are interesting in terms of morphology with high aspect ratio (length 100–1000 nm, width 2–15 nm), high specific area, and high mechanical properties. Moreover, they can be used as rheological modifier, emulsifier, or for barrier properties, and their surface chemistry opens the door to numerous feasible chemical modifications, leading to a large panel of applications in medical, electronic, composites, or packaging, for example. Traditionally, their extraction is performed via monitored sulfuric acid hydrolysis, leading to well-dispersed aqueous CNC suspensions; these last bearing negative charges (half-sulfate ester groups) at their surface. More recently, natural chemicals called deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been used for the production of CNC in a way of green chemistry, and characterization of recovered CNC is encouraging.
