Authors: Lourenço Camilo Luis Monteiro , Souza Thiago Ferreria de , Mendes Edmar Lacerda
Published: October 2019

The aims of this study were a) to describe the smartphone use and sedentary behavior (SB) on typical weekdays and weekends, and b) to verify the association between smartphone use and SB among adolescents. This is a cross-sectional population school-based, which surveyed 984 students from Uberaba, Minas Gerais, in 2015. Gender-stratified analysis were performed using t-tests, Pearson’s correlation (r) and multiple linear regression (β). Girls used more smartphones than boys (weekdays: 6.58 hrs vs. 5.29 hrs, p < 0.001; weekend: 7.81 hrs vs. 6.18 hrs, p < 0.001). Both genders used more smartphones in the weekend (p < 0.001) than weekdays. SB was higher in girls than boys (weekdays: 5.34 hrs vs. 4.48 hrs, p < 0.001, weekend: 5.22 hrs vs. 4.38 hrs, p < 0.001). SB was higher for both genders at weekend (p < 0.001) than on weekdays. Correlation between SB and smartphone use ranged from weak to moderate in both genders (weekdays: boys, r = 0.30; girls, r = 0.17, p < 0.001; weekend: boys, r = 0.39; girls, r = 0.17, p < 0.001). Smartphone use was positively associated with SB during the weekdays (boys: β = 0.25, girls: β = 0.19, p < 0.001) and weekend (boys: β = 0.31; girls: β = 0.14, p < 0.001). Girls showed greater SB and smartphone use than boys, regardless if compared on weekdays or weekend. SB and smartphone were positively associated in both genders.
Business Models for Technology-Intensive Supply Chains
Authors: Lee Junghee , Krishnan Vish , Shin Hyoduk
Published: October 2019

Technology and intellectual property play increasingly critical roles in emerging supply chains by endowing products with sought-after capabilities. In such technology-intensive supply chains, the technology invented by an upstream firm must be embedded in a subsystem that is then integrated into a full system. The technology providers’ prevalent royalty-driven business model has gotten complicated in this multilateral supply chain, prompting formal research attention. Moreover, providers also consider forward integration into manufacturing to monetize their intellectual property. We characterize the appropriateness of different business model decisions for markets, which may have varying levels of consumer diversity and competitive intensity at intermediate layers. For the technology provider, our key results show that a subsystem base royalty approach is the optimal business model when dealing with monopolistic intermediaries or having a low degree of consumer diversity. However, a full-system base royalty business model becomes increasingly optimal when the intermediate supply chains face competition and consumer diversity increases. We present conditions under which the technology provider may want to forward integrate. Our formulation and results are relevant to technology providers, policy makers, and industry groups engaged in the prevailing heated global discussion on royalty base.

Do Director Networks Matter for Financial Reporting Quality? Evidence from Audit Committee Connectedness and Restatements
Authors: Omer Thomas C. , Shelley Marjorie K. , Tice Frances M.
Published: October 2019

This study examines the effect of audit committee connectedness through director networks on financial reporting quality, specifically the misstatement of annual financial statements. Using network analysis, we examine multiple dimensions of connectedness and find that after controlling for operating performance and corporate governance characteristics, firms with well-connected audit committees are less likely to misstate annual financial statements. In addition, our study demonstrates that audit committee connectedness through director networks moderates the negative effect of board interlocks to misstating firms on financial reporting quality. We conduct several tests to address identification concerns and find similar results. Our findings suggest that firms with better-connected audit committees are less likely to adopt reporting practices that reduce financial reporting quality.

Urbanização Militarizada e Controle Social: primeiras impressões sobre os “drones” como dispositivos de segurança pública no Brasil
Authors: Do Amaral Augusto Jobim , Salles Eduardo Baldissera Carvalho , Medina Roberta Da Silva
Published: October 2019

O objetivo do presente artigo é investigar as implicações do uso de drones como forma de policiamento no Brasil. A hipótese é que novas formas de controle social suplantam cada vez mais os espaços tidos como “disciplinares". Para isso, implica também relacionar a sensação de insegurança e a guerra nas cidades sob a ótica do “novo urbanismo militar”. Abordam-se, para tanto, as principais teorias que envolvem o fenômeno por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica sob o método dedutivo. Ao final, afere-se que esta realidade é consequência do agigantamento do poder punitivo, feito através da expansão das práticas de controle que retroalimentam as lógicas de governo soberano e disciplinar.
O DEVER FUNDAMENTAL DE PRESERVAR A INCOLUMIDADE DAS PESSOAS (ART. 144, CRFB/88) E A ATUAÇÃO NA PREVENÇÃO DE SUICÍDIOS: O CASO DA TERCEIRA PONTE - RODOSOL/ES
Authors: Sant'Ana Pedra Adriano , Bergamim Uliana Eduardo
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo buscou analisar se a Rodosol, concessionária que administra a Ponte Deputado Darcy Castelo de Mendonça (Terceira Ponte), tem ou não o dever fundamental de preservar a incolumidade das pessoas (art. 144, da CRFB/88), atuando na prevenção dos casos de suicídios que ocorrem no local. Além disso, analisou-se quem arcaria com os custos dessas medidas preventivas implementadas. O método empregado foi o estudo de caso, tendo em vista que os casos de suicídios que acontecem na Terceira Ponte/ES, mostram-se como um fenômeno atual, inserido na realidade do Estado do Espírito Santo. Ao final, foi possível chegar à conclusão de que a concessionária Rodosol, uma pessoa jurídica, também possui o dever fundamental de preservar a incolumidade das pessoas, atuando na prevenção dos casos de suicídios que ocorrem na Terceira Ponte, tendo como base dois direitos previstos na Constituição, quais sejam: o direito à vida e à segurança pública. Verificou-se, ainda, que o dever fundamental de preservar a incolumidade das pessoas é de responsabilidade de todos. Assim, com equidade, entendeu-se que o custo oriundo das medidas específicas adotadas para prevenir os casos de suicídios que ocorrem na Terceira Ponte, deverá ser arcado por toda a sociedade, por meio dos impostos.
Acesso controlado ao Morro São Caetano em Porto Alegre: estudo de caso
Authors: Michel Voltaire De Freitas , Deitos Marc Antoni
Published: October 2019

O artigo é resultado de pesquisa que envolveu o estudo de um caso da cidade de Porto Alegre, mais especialmente no Morro São Caetano, em que a comunidade se dividiu entre os que buscavam a possibilidade de restringir o acesso ao loteamento, mediante colocação de cancelas e outros instrumentos, e aqueles que se opunham à tal implementação. O caso envolveu a análise da intervenção do Ministério Público, do Município de Porto Alegre e, finalmente, do Poder Judiciário, sob cuja responsabilidade se encontra, atualmente, a decisão a respeito da constitucionalidade da lei municipal que permitiu a implantação do acesso controlado. O estudo analisa as dificuldades apresentadas pela sobreposição da legislação nacional e municipal, assim como os aspectos constitucionais envolvidos. Os métodos empregados são exploratórios, com o exame de processos judiciais e extrajudiciais nos sites do Ministério Público e do Poder Judiciário; da legislação nacional e municipal, assim como da doutrina já produzida a respeito do assunto. Os resultados da pesquisa e as considerações finais correm no sentido de que os vícios da legislação municipal não são superados pela nova lei federal, porém a lei federal dá espaço à regulamentação desses empreendimentos, desde que interpretada em conformidade com as restrições constitucionais.
Reflexões sobre a (des) inserção da mineração de areia no Plano Diretor do município de Campinas-SP: há como mudar esta realidade?
Authors: Fulfule Elaine Cristina , Longo Regina Marcia , Mastrodi Josué
Published: October 2019

Trata este trabalho de analisar a legislação minerária relativa a areia, trazendo a discussão da carência de diplomas legais nesta área no Brasil, no Estado de São Paulo e no município de Campinas, SP. O tema é analisado a partir das questões relativas ao equacionamento do uso e ocupação do solo, haja vista que a mineração compete principalmente com a construção civil e a agropecuária pelo uso do solo.  Para subsidiar a argumentação, foi analisado o Plano Diretor do município de Campinas, bem como foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os temas na base de periódicos da Capes, e uma revisão da normatização existente sobre os temas mineração de areia e ocupação do solo. Identificou-se uma acentuada deficiência do Plano Diretor do município analisado no que toca à previsão de ocupação do solo pela mineração de areia, posto não haver, no referido Plano, nenhuma priorização no que diz respeito ao manejo sustentável da mineração de areia, que é minério de largo uso na construção civil. A proposta feita para equacionar esta deficiência é envolver os demais municípios da região metropolitana de Campinas na produção deste minério.

Published: October 2019

Shortages in nursing are the single biggest and most urgent workforce issue that the NHS needs to address. This article sets out the early success of the Nurse Clinical Fellowship Programme established by The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust. The unique programme aims to attract and retain nurses by offering a staff nurse post with supported access to academia, fully funded by the NHS Trust. To date, the Trust has attracted 90 nurses (both UK and international registered nurses) to the programme. The programme is also offered internally and the Trust has a cohort of 10 internal nursing staff enrolled onto the programme completing either their BSc (top-up) or Masters, with a second cohort of 60 internal nurses due to start in September 2019. To support international registered nurses with demonstrating their competence to meet Nursing and Midwifery Council requirements the Trust has also established an objective structured clinical examination preparation course designed to embrace and enhance the existing knowledge and skills, while guiding staff in transferring these in line with UK and Trust policies and practices.
EXTRACTION OF FETAL FEATURES FROM B MODE ULTRASONOGRAMS FOR EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS OF DOWN SYNDROME IN FIRST AND SECOND TRIMESTER
Authors: Jeba Shiney O. , Pratap Singh J. Amar , Shan B Priestly
Published: October 2019

Segmentation of ultrasound images has been found to be a tedious task due to the presence of speckle and other artifacts. The random nature of the multiplicative speckle noise and lack of demarcation of information in ultrasound images makes the segmentation a highly complex one. In this paper a modified watershed based method has been proposed for segmentation of features from Ultrasound images towards efficient diagnosis of Down Syndrome in first and second trimester. The pixels are grouped based on the pixel differences and the co- occurrence matrix is formed based on the energy and contrast. If global scheme is adopted for segmentation the high frequency edges may appear as artifacts. Hence to overcome this the wavelet transform of co-occurrence matrix is obtained and each decomposed band is subjected to an averaging filter. The process bands are thresholded using Otsu’s method and a binary image is obtained. The isolated pixels are removed by using suitable morphological operations. Then inverse wavelet transform is performed to obtain the image skeleton. The resultant image is subjected to watershed segmentation using gradients. Using the above mentioned approach we can see that the regions of interest are clearly segmented and is producing reproducible results.
Power Spectral Density analysis of time series of pixel of functional magnetic resonance image for different motor activity
Authors: Daimiwal Nivedita , Shriram Revati
Published: October 2019

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a non invasive modality to detect structure and function of the brain. Brain functions for various activities like motor, sensory, speech and memory process are detected using fMRI modality. This paper deals with the analysis of power spectrum of pixel time series for different motor activities. The analysis is to relate the power magnitude of the spike in the power spectrum of the fMRI time series with the activity performed. The fMRI data set consists of a sequence of images with respect to time, when the subject performs a definite task in a given block paradigm. The data set consists of four slices each of size 64×64 pixels. The power spectrum is acquired by taking the Fourier transform of the time series. The shape of the power spectrum is often referred to as 1/f or the inverse frequency function. Low frequency noise is removed by applying discrete cosine transform on time series. Data was originally, collected from General Electric Signa 1.5 T MRI system for 5 male subjects; 3 subjects: Performed lower limb movement (LL) and 2 subjects: Performed upper limb movement (UL). The power magnitude of the spike is recorded for lower limb and upper limb movement. The spike in the power spectrum at f Hz corresponds to the frequency at which the task is performed. The power magnitude amplitude for lower limb activity is around 14.31 dB and upper limb is around 4.0 dB. Power spectral density (PSD) of the time series is used for the detection of activities occurring in the brain.
The effect of metformine and maninil on lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes
Authors: Davydov A. L.
Published: October 2019

Effects of metformine and maninil on lipid metabolism and its hormonal regulators were studied in 38 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (N1DDM) aged 35-55 years. A 3-month metformine course in a daily dose of 0.85 g notably decreased lipid content in the plasma, particularly of triglycerides (TG) and very low density lipoproteins. Monotherapy with metformine decreased basal and stimulated insulin secretion and glycaemia, and normalized GH secretion. Medium-expressed correlation between the extent of TG decrease and GH increase in the plasma was detected. Metformine did not change tissue respiration parameters in patients with initially normal lactate content. Despite diabetes compensation by glycaemia, lipid metabolism did not improve, insulin concentrations did not decrease, and GH did not normalize in NIDDM patients treated with maninil (0.005-0.015 g/day) during the same period.
The daily rhythm of secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone in assessing the adequacy of replacement therapy for primary chronic adrenal insufficiency
Authors: Fadeev V. V. , Gitel E. P. , Melnichenko G. A.
Published: October 2019

Plasma level о] АС 1Н was radioimmunoassayed every 4 hours for 24 h in three groups of patients in order to evaluate the possibility of using circadian rhythm of ACTH secretion for assessment of the efficacy of substitute glucocorticoid therapy for primary chronic adrenal insufficiency (CAI-1, Addison’s disease). In group 1 (n = 14) patients with CAI-1 were treated with prednisolone (5 mg at 9.00 and 2.5 mg at 14.00), in group 2 dexamethasone (0.5 mg at 23.00) and prednisolone (2.5 mg at 14.00). In addition, all patients with CAI-1 were administered 9a-fluorocortisol in a daily dose of0.005-0.01 mg. Control group consisted of 14 healthy volunteers.

The level of A CTH varied within a wide range in both variants of substitute therapy in comparison with the norm. The areas under the curve reflecting ACTH concentrations within 24h differed negligibly in groups 1 and 2 and in group 2 and control. The area under ACTH curve in group 1 was significantly larger than in the control. The mean concentrations of ACTH in group I at 7.00 and 11.00 were significantly higher than in the two other groups. In general, circadian rhythms of ACTH secretion were closer to the norm in the patients treated with dexamethasone. According to our clinical experience, dexamethasone had to be discontinued because of the overdosage syndrome (body weight excess, high appetite and insomnia) in at least 2/3 of patients initially prescribed this agent, and therefore we conclude that the clinical picture and data on the 24-h rhythm of A CTH secretion disagree. Evaluating the results of substitute therapy for CAI-1, one should remember that normal rhythm of ACTH secretion during 24 h does not rule out overdosage of glucocorticoids, and therefore the results of laboratory tests should be interpreted with due consideration for the clinical picture.

Published: October 2019

The metabolic (MS) or insulin resistance syndrome includes a tetrade of signs: dyslipidemia, carbohydrate metabolism disorders presenting as type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) or impaired glucose tolerance, arterial hypertension, and abdominal obesity. Arbitrary components are hyperuricaemia and microalbuminuria. The immune status of 24 patients with MS has been examined for the first time. Control groups consisted of 5 patients with type 2 DM without history of MS or chronic infections, 16 patients with chronic infections, and donors. Immunoglobulins A, M. and G were measured by Mancini’s method in gel; CD3, CD4, CD8, CD 16, and CD72 were evaluated using monoclonal antibodies (Sorbent); thyroid hormones were measured by enzyme immunoassay (Biorad). Thyroid diseases (autoimmune thyroiditis with nodular goiter or nodular goiter) were detected in 54%, chronic infectious diseases in 58.3%, and their combinations in 29.2% examined patients. Shifts in immune status were detected in MS patients without concomitant chronic infections and/or thyroid diseases: decreased counts of T lymphocytes and hyperfunction of В lymphocytes and dysimmunoglobulinemia with a significant increase in IgA and IgG levels. Presumably hyperstimulation of humoral immunity is the first stage of immune disorders in patients with MS. Combination of MS with thyroid diseases and/or chronic infections leads to inversion of the immune status with development of T helper, T suppressor, and NK insufficiency, В lymphocyte dysfunction, and low IgG level. Decreased count of NK cells in MS can be associated with increased risk of malignant diseases, including those of the thyroid.
Epiphysis: current data on physiology and pathology

Today the pineal gland is one of the most “titled” endocrine glands, but interest in it has not diminished, but continues to increase. A Melatonin Club has been organized and operates, and Jounal of Pineal Research, Advances in Pineal Research, and European Pineal Society News are published. The rapid development of chronobiology led to the elimination of the leading role of the pineal gland and its hormone melatonin in the implementation of circadian, seasonal and annual rhythms of the most diverse functional systems of the body [1]. Despite this, the amount of modern literature in Russian, devoted not to some particular issues, but to the pineal gland and its pathology as a whole, is very limited.
Evaluation of the effectiveness and optimization of the screening diagnostic service for congenital hypothyroidism in Moscow

Published: October 2019

System of neonatal screening diagnosis (SD) of congenital diseases implies free-of-charge examinations of newborns, which is very expensive for the state. This is the cause for regular evaluation of the system’s efficiency. The evaluation includes analysis of clinical efficiency (detection rate and terms of treatment beginning) and economic efficiency (financial estimation of the ratio of prevented harm to financial loss). We evaluated medical efficiency of system of overall SD of congenital hypothyrosis (CH) in children born in Moscow in 1990-1998 (n = 601602) in order to develop recommendations on optimization of the system. The main efficiency criteria in recent years are as follows: 93-99% newborns were examined at the first stage of screening at maternity hospitals (vs. international standard > 95%); 88% subjects with abnormal results at the first stage were retested at the second stage (vs. international standard 100%); 3) babies ’ ages by retesting was 36 days, by the moment of diagnosis 55 days, and by the beginning of treatment 64 days (vs. international standard up to 30 days). Still, comparison of the results of SD with the data of the "prescreening epoque" (before 1990) demonstrates obvious positive shifts. Before SD was introduced in Moscow, CH was diagnosed in 67.5 ± 4.2%> children (2/3 of 123 cases) at even later terms, after 3 months of life; in 9 years SD value decreased more than 3-fold (p < 0.001) and the diagnosis was recorded in only 19.7 ± 4.6$ patients (1/5 of 76 cases). The detected errors and defects in organization and implementation lay the basis for recommendations on optimizing SD system in order to accelerate the process of CH detection and prescription of urgent therapy: 1) To improve the collection of information aimed at search of the child by modifying the initial blank in maternity hospital (to record home address and telephone number). 2) If the values of thyrotropic hormone at the first stage suggest CH (>50 IU/Hter), the diagnosis should be verified serologically at once, without the stage of whole blood retesting, which is performed only for values 20—50 IU/liter.

Published: October 2019

Specific features of training the rats in a new form of defense behavior in insulin deficiency in animal body were under study. Experiments were carried out with 51 male Wistar rats, 24 of these with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The method of bilateral active avoidance with acoustic signal stimulation, followed by electric stimulation of the skin, was employed. The curves of training, reflecting the time course of the number of effective behavioral acts, were analyzed, and the parameters of the shape of the individual curves of training estimated to classify the animals, making use of analysis of factors. A significant variability of the examined individual parameters of training was associated with the absence of noticeable differences in the approximated results of examinations of intact and streptozotocin-treated rats. Analysis of factors helped single out a group of rats with streptozotocin induced diabetes among the groups of animals that were characterized by similar training parameters, that could sooner learn a new habit after a longer latent period as against intact animals.

La « carte d’Artémidore » ? Le delta des Ptolémées!
Authors: Carrez-Maratray Jean-Yves
Published: October 2019

As some scholars have already suggested, the « Artemidorus map » does not depict a Spanish landscape, but a huge river delta. This article argues in favour of the Nile delta in Ptolemaic times. The three main river courses at the centre of the map correspond exactly to what Ps.Skylax (340 BC) called the « Sebennytic », « Mendesian » and « Phatnitic » mouths (stomata). Some peculiarities, like the Bubastis island and the Red Sea canal, seem to confirm this identification.

Edition, with philological and liturgical commentary, of two Theban 7th/8th century liturgical prayers in Sahidic Coptic from the Berlin Papyrus Collection. The first prayer is an unattested redaction of the intercession for peace, related to the wording of the anaphora of St. Mark. The second is a long and elaborate prayer of thanksgiving, asking for protection. It parallels the first prayer of the morning of the present-day Coptic rite.
Whence Diyār Bakr? An Inquiry into Early Jazīran Administrative Geography
Authors: Hagemann Hannah-Lena
Published: October 2019

This article discusses the emergence of Diyār Bakr as the northern subdivision of the Jazīra in the early Islamic period. It shows that this sub-province is a product of the 10th century CE and not, as has hitherto been assumed, of the conquest or Umayyad period. As a first step, the paper traces the appearance of the name Diyār Bakr in the Arabic sources to the mid-10th century. It then turns to the ʿAbbāsid geographical tradition and gives an overview of the various portrayals of the region of the Jazīran north up to al-Muqaddasī (d. after 990), who is the first to provide a rudimentary depiction of the Jazīran north as ‘Diyār Bakr’. The article then turns to the history of the Banū Shaybān of Bakr/Rabīʿa in the Jazīran north to offer a tentative explanation for the origin of the term and administrative district of Diyār Bakr. It concludes with a brief discussion of the need to re-evaluate the political and administrative history of the Jazīra before the 10th century.

Organized Civil Society Under Authoritarian Populism: Cases from Ecuador
Authors: Appe Susan , Barragán Daniel , Telch Fabian
Published: October 2019

This article examines how civil society organizations (CSOs) in Latin America cope with authoritarian populism. In particular, it outlines cases of coping and adaptive strategies by CSOs in Ecuador during the years of President Rafael Correa’s presidency (2007–2017). Ecuador provides an example of an authoritarian, leftist populist administration; thus situating our discussion in the general civil society-government relations literature, we link together trends of authoritarianism and populism and its implications on CSOs. Using a qualitative-interpretive approach with long-term fieldwork in Ecuador, we outline a selection of coping strategies used by organized civil society that include formal, semi-formal and informal organizational configurations.
Military expenditure and security outcome convergence in African regional economic communities: evidence from the convergence club algorithm
Authors: Saba Charles Shaaba , Ngepah Nicholas
Published: October 2019

This study investigates the degree of convergence in military expenditure and security outcome for the eight regional economic communities (RECs) of Africa spanning 1995–2015. We utilise the methodology of the Phillips and Sul convergence test to each of the region’s military expenditure and security outcome. The results of this study suggest that the convergence club of military expenditure and security outcome cannot be generalised across the RECs of African countries, and likewise for the overall convergence of the regions. The nonconvergence of the full sample and the presence of the different subgroup convergence clubs for both variables imply that RECs of African countries are characterised by individual factors which in turn determine an idiosyncratic course of their own path for defence and security policies. The empirics further confirm that the regions appear to have chosen dissimilar paths for their defence and security measures. Considering the cross-border and multiple security challenges facing the continent, this study recommend that African RECs harmonise their defence and security policies in order to achieve a convergence for a concerted security threats facing the regions.

Bodies of Knowledge: Politics of Archive, Disability, and Fandom
Authors: Baumgartner Chelsea Fay
Published: October 2019

The work of critical theory cannot stop when it leaves the classroom, but must encompass the lived experience of the everyday. This essay combines personal narrative, disability theory, and a discussion of archiving strategies to question the boundaries of disability, injury and impairment.

Although fandom has an interesting and constructive relationship with disability, injury, and impairment, this paper does not focus on individual fan-works that feature these topics. This essay is instead an examination of the macro-structure of two different archives: TV Tropes and Archive of Our Own.

TV Tropes is an informal encyclopedia of narrative devices that uses community engagement to read narratives in a critical yet accessible way. Employing the macro-structure organization of the database, users frame the linkage of pity and disability in an atypical manner that subverts mainstream ableist assertions. This shows us that the structure of the archive allows for opportunities to resist oppressive ideologies. Rather than subverting official archival methods, Archive of Our Own instead provides space for users to create intersectional spaces through personally generated tags. While these websites are examples of how diverse archival strategies can positively engage with disability narratives, the decision to separate the labels of disability and injury is indicative of tensions around the categorization of the body. Examining how the division can be broken in both theory and fandom creates new, productive models of activism.
Complexities of Survival and Resilience
Authors: Aubrecht Katie , La Monica Nancy
Published: October 2019

By mapping tacit and contested assumptions about adversity, works in this issue shift understandings of survival and resilience from individual assets to spaces of solidarity, collective action, culture-building and community identity. Spanning diverse institutional, geographic, community and subjective sites, authors chart new terrains for knowing, representing and experiencing survivals, ruptures and resiliencies.
Dostoevsky’s Addresses and Addressees in Petersburg (On the Problem of Regional Commentary of Address Records of the Writer). Article Two
Authors: Tikhomirov Boris N.
Published: October 2019

In the second article the experience of the annotated publications of Dostoevsky’s address records from his notebooks of the 1860s (as well as of other handwritten materials) is continued. The records are characterized in comparison with the similar handwritten materials of the 8170s. Like in the first article, all the records here are reproduced by autographs with the indication of their archival storage places. The regional commentary with the use of address books and other printed sources of that epoch (building tables, guide books, reference books etc) allowed rectifying a number of erroneous textual interpretations of the previous publications. The commentaries made it possible to restore historical addresses of the individuals and organizations contained in Dostoevsky’s manuscripts, to specify the personal data of the addressees with the greatest possible completeness. In scores of cases for the first time there were named the house owners and specified the house numbers or sometimes apartments. The given addresses are located in the map of Saint Petersburg.

O TEMPO NA PESQUISA PSICANALÍTICA
Authors: Caon José Luiz
Published: October 2019

O pequeno estudo do autor trata do tempo na pesquisa psicanalítica implicado no termo e na noção freudianos de nachtraglich (aprêscoup, no relance) e Nachtraglichkeit {effet d'aprêscoup, relance). Serve-se de quatro ilustrações: 1) a noção do jogo olimpico chamado revezamento (relais) ; 2) a noção da figura musical de síncope, quando o segundo tempo é forte e o primeiro, fraco; 3) o conto baseado num divertimento de salão, conhecido como o jogo dos três prisioneiros, do qual Lacan extrai preciosas informações, no seu estudo, "Le temps logique et l'assertion de certitude anticipée, um nouveau sophisme" (1945), {Lacan, 1996, p. 197-213), e que pode didaticamente e, para maior comodidade, ser reduzido ao jogo de dois prisioneiros; 4) a noção obtida a partir da decomposição dos termos recordar e erinnern. Fragmentos de conhecimento sobre o tempo, no qual o futuro não é considerado, incita os pesquisadores não psicanalíticos a olhar pela luneta do pesquisador psicanalítico não somente a subjetividade, mas também os efeitos que um tal olhar pode re-produzir no próprio pesquisador no ato da pesquisa anímica.

IMPLICACIONES POLITICAS DE LA PREDESTINACIÓN AL COMIENZO V AL FINAL DE LA EDAD MEDIA: Juan Escoto Erigena y John Wyclif
Authors: Bertelloni Francisco
Published: October 2019

O tema da predestinação dos homens, uns, para a salvação eterna, outros, para a condenação, constitui, aparentemente, apenas uma questão teológica. Examinando com maior profundidade dois casos em que este tema foi causa de polêmicas, dentro do mundo cristão, percebesse que, por trás das questões dogmáticas, havia um conteúdo político não manifesto que poderia abalar a ordem vigente.

Published: October 2019

Vivemos numa sociedade carente de referenciais. A filosofia ressente- se dessa falta. Nos tempos modernos o homem ocidental passou por um processo histórico-cultural complexo de transformação de mentalidade e de conduta, um processo que se desenvolve em sentido estrito e de maneira consciente, do século XVII até meados do século XX. Nesse processo histórico, o referencial é a razão humana. Esta, por sua vez, é a razão instrumental ou científica. O método predominante no conhecimento é o analítico, pois as ciências modernas caracterizam-se pela objetividade e pela racionalidade.

Published: October 2019

This study aimed to evaluate the potential antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Sinulariasp. and Sarcophyton sp. from the Palu Bay, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Soft corals were identified as Sinulariasp. (SC1), Sinularia sp. (SC2), andSarcophytonsp. (SC3). Antibacterial activity was examined using agar diffusion well method. Antioxidant activity was measured by the DPPH radical scavenging method. The samples were macerated in MeOH: DCM. The crude extracts were partitioned with DCM, EtOAc, and BuOH. The crude extract of Sinulariasp. (SC2) showed a very strong antibacterial activity as it was able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureusand Escherichia coliup to 10 mg/mL. Sinularia sp. (SC1) crude extract showed strong activity againstS. aureus, whereas it showed moderate against E. coli.Sarcophyton sp. (SC3) crude extract showed moderate activity against S. aureus, whereas it showed weak against E. coli. The partition fractions of the three soft coral extracts had the potential to be a potent antioxidant agent.
