Published: September 2018

Análises de contaminantes nos sedimentos, como os elementos traços são fundamentais para caracterizar normalidade ou alterações nos ambientes aquáticos. Estas são informações importantes para avaliar áreas usadas para aquicultura, em especial aquelas onde há uma interação mais próxima entre os sedimentos e organismos cultivados, como ocorrem na prática da ostreicultura. Foram avaliadas as concentrações de elementos traços (Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mg) nos sedimentos de seis áreas de cultivos de ostras no estuário Amazônico. As amostragens de sedimentos foram realizadas nos meses de novembro de 2013 (seco) e abril de 2014 (chuvoso) e priorizaram pontos centrais nestas. Os ní­­veis de elementos traços foram quantificados por espectrometria de emissão ótica com plasma induzido (ICP- MS). Possí­­veis efeitos sobre a biota aquática foram avaliados a partir da comparação dos ní­­veis de metais nos sedimentos com os valores de referência proposto nos protocolos TEL e o PEL. As concentrações dos elementos traços nos sedimentos em todas as áreas avaliadas foram superiores no perí­­odo chuvoso, com exceção do cobre. Seguindo a ordem de concentração, na maioria das localidades Al > Fe > Mg > Cr > Ni > Co > Cu > Cd. Apenas para Cd os ní­­veis foram superiores em referência aos de TEL e PEL.

Published: September 2018

Este trabalho objetivou avaliar viabilidade da suplementação de duas dietas ao camarão Litopenaeus vannamei com Lactobacillus plantarum. Uma usando farinha de peixe como fonte proteica e outra usando concentrado de proteico de soja, bem como o efeito destas formulações na microbiota intestinal de camarão. Para testar a viabilidade probiótica nas dietas, o número de UFC g-1 foi observado semanalmente ao longo de quatro semanas. A viabilidade de Lactobacillus plantarum em relação aos parí­¢metros fí­­sicos das dietas, incluindo estabilidade, flutuabilidade e expansão, foram testados. O efeito das dietas na microbiota e na morfologia do trato intestinal foi determinado por meio de um experimento fatorial 2x2 (duas dietas, com ou sem suplementação), em triplicata, totalizando 12 unidades experimentais, com cinco animais por unidade, alimentados com 3,5% de biomassa por 17 dias. A concentração de bactérias do ácido láctico diminuiu ao longo do tempo, independentemente da fonte de proteí­­na. A dieta com farinha de peixe como fonte proteica, independente da suplementação probiótica, apresentou boa estabilidade e não se desintegrou após quatro horas. Em contrapartida, dieta com concentrado proteico de soja, suplementado ou não, desintegrou-se entre 2,5 e 3 horas, apresentando baixa estabilidade. Todas as dietas apresentaram flutuabilidade de 0%. A taxa de expansão foi maior nas dietas com concentrado proteico de soja, mas sem influência da suplementação probiótica ou interação entre os fatores. No ensaio in vivo, ambas as dietas suplementadas apresentaram maior contagem de bactérias heterotróficas totais; no entanto, nenhuma diferença na contagem foi observada em dietas com diferentes fontes de proteí­­na. Bactérias ácido-lácticas só foram observadas em dietas suplementadas com probiótico. A histologia do trato intestinal mostrou que todos intestinos tinham células intactas, bem desenvolvidas e organizadas, independentemente da dieta. Assim, L. plantarum, quando combinado com diferentes fontes proteicas, produziu efeitos similares na estrutura e microbiota do camarão marinho Litopenaeus vannamei.

Published: September 2018

As ostras são encontradas ao longo de toda a costa do Brasil. Os fenótipos das espécies variam consideravelmente de acordo com as caracterí­­sticas do habitat. O presente estudo investigou a existência de diferentes espécies de ostra do gênero Crassostrea no litoral do Maranhão, utilizando a técnica de PCR Multiplex e DNA barcoding. Os resultados da PCR Multiplex revelaram duas bandas distintas, caracterí­­sticas das espécies C. gasar e C. rhizophorae num total de 135 amostras analisadas. No sequenciamento do gene COI de 98 amostras obteve-se fragmentos de 695 pb e 15 haplótipos para C. gasar e de 640 pb e oito haplótipos para C. rhizophorae. A árvore haplótipica agrupou fortemente as duas espécies em clados diferentes com 100% de bootstrap. Divergências intraespecí­­ficas foram de 0,2% para ambas, e a interespecí­­fica de 23,6%. A similaridade das sequencias deste estudo com sequências presentes no BoldSystems variou de 97,01 a 98,37 para C. rhizophorae e de 97,55 a 99,84 tanto para C. gasar como para C. brasiliana, reforçando uma problemática na taxonomia do grupo, que apontam para a sinonimia dessas espécies. Portanto, o DNA barcoding permitiu identificar as amostras coletadas e confirmou a existência de duas espécies de ostra

Published: September 2018

O objetivo do presente estudo foi estimar os primeiros parí­¢metros de crescimento e mortalidade de Biquara Haemulon plumierii no estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Os otólitos sagittae foram coletados mensalmente de maio de 2013 a abril de 2014 a partir de desembarques da pesca comercial ao longo da costa de Pernambuco. O total de 333 indiví­­duos medindo 10,5 a 32,2 cm foram capturados. As distribuições de frequência de comprimento foram diferentes entre as áreas. Consequentemente, as relações peso-comprimento foram diferentes entre as áreas, bem como os parí­¢metros de von Bertalanffy. A relação peso-comprimento indicou crescimento alométrico negativo. Portanto, a equação de von Bertalanffy para sexos agrupados foi TLt = 31.1[1-e-0.1 (t +4.57)]. A idade máxima observada foi 21 anos e a mortalidade total foi 0,21 ano-1. As análises conduzidas indicam uma espécie com ciclo de vida longa e crescimento lento. Pequenos peixes recifais de pouca movimentação, como a biquara, são susceptí­­veis ao esforço pesqueiro, fatores ambientais e degradação, que afetam o crescimento e a mortalidade. Portanto, sugerimos uma avaliação do status atual do estoque.

Authors: Beltramini Berto Jane Cristina , Chaguri Jonathas de Paula
Published: September 2018

This work aims to analyze the concept of new literacy in Curricular Guidelines of Portuguese Language in the State of Paraná, Brazil (Diretrizes Curriculares de Língua Portuguesa do Estado do Paraná, DCE-LP) (PARANÁ, 2008), concerning its process of elaboration after the previous curriculum documents, DCE-LP of 2006, and the Paraná Basic Curriculum of 1990, in order to verify their consonance with theories postulated by Street (1989; 2003), Soares (2000; 2004), and Tfouni (1994), by discussing implications to students’ new literacy in public schools in Paraná, Brazil. The results point to the interweaving of literacy and new literacy studies, with emphasis on the last, aiming the teaching of writing linked to social practices. However, in the current curriculum proposal prevails the ideological model of new literacy in contrast to excerpts of the autonomous model, being far from the social practice present at curriculum proposal.
LAS CONCEPCIONES DE LA TÉCNICA EN LA FORMACIÓN DE PROFESORES DE EDUCACIÓN FÍSICA EN ARGENTINA: EL CASO DE LAS PRÁCTICAS CORPORALES EN LA NATURALEZA
Authors: Ramirez Facundo , Viñes Nicolás
Published: September 2018

La técnica es un concepto complejo y que genera, en el campo de la Educación Física, distintas posiciones cuando se intenta definirlo o contextualizarlo. Este trabajo que se enmarca en el proyecto de investigación “Los discursos de la enseñanza de las prácticas corporales”, intentará desplegar la categoría “Técnica”, construida a partir del análisis de 55 programas de la asignatura “Vida en la Naturaleza”. Dicho análisis se centró en la confección de una ficha que diera cuenta de la aparición de la palabra “Técnica” o construcciones gramaticales que dieran cuenta de ella. En ese contexto, la investigación relevó en los programas, la aparición de la “Técnica” y sus recurrencias en los diversos apartados de los mismos. Eso permitió una descripción general y posterior análisis de cómo la categoría cobra relevancia o no en cada ítem. Esto dio lugar a la construcción de lo que la Educación Física en general y la Vida en la Naturaleza en particular, entienden por la “Técnica”. Estos análisis arrojaron como resultado una perspectiva instrumental de la técnica, a partir de la universalización del sujeto; opuesto a entender la “Técnica” como techné, o sea, como un saber.

“Latino Threat in the 808?”
Authors: Guevarra Rudy P.
Published: September 2018

This chapter examines the Latino population of Hawaiʻi, one of the oldest yet least explored settler groups to migrate to the islands. I begin by examining what I call the “Tam incident,” in which Local Chinese Hawai‘i councilman Rod Tam referred to Mexican workers in Hawai‘i as “wetbacks.” This incident reveals both the understudied history of Latinos in Hawai‘i as well as current racist stereotypes of Latinos on the islands, which I contend both illustrates the influence of continental U.S. racial thinking, as well as the limits of the “aloha spirit.” Utilizing Leo Chavez’s “Latino Threat” narrative, I demonstrate how Mexicans become racialized in Hawaiʻi and what this signifies within the larger narrative of citizenship and belonging in “the Aloha State.” Their racialization highlights the forms of marginalization, stereotypes, labor oppression, shifting hierarchies and social exclusion faced by Latinos in Hawai‘i. I argue that race, not ethnicity highlights structural and institutional processes that continue to reinforce the idea that Latinos do not exist in the islands, are newcomers, and take people’s jobs, rather than see them as one of the oldest settler communities that has contributed significantly to the economic, social and cultural fabric of Hawaiʻi.
Down and Out in Late Meiji Japan
Authors: Huffman James L.
Published: September 2018

This work examines the daily lives of Japan’s very poor—the kasō shakai or underclass—during the last half of the Meiji era (1868-1912). Focusing on urban slums (hinminkutsu), it attempts to understand how poor people themselves experienced life. After examining the dominant popular views of hinmin or poor people in this era as a baseline, the author looks at what brought masses of hinmin to the cities, where they lived, and what work they did: everything from pulling rickshaws to making textiles, from carrying night soil to providing sex. It looks too at the daily challenges of stretching budgets, grappling with educational issues for children, and preparing meals. One chapter concentrates on the major problems, such as illness and disasters, that made the poverty-stricken life especially difficult, while another examines the endless ways in which the very poor acted as agents, filling life not just with hope but with activism and celebration in the here and now. Final, comparative chapters take up the nature of rural poverty and the lives of poor Japanese immigrants in Hawai’i’s sugar plantations as a way of understanding what was unique about urban poverty. The work contends that despite massive difficulties, the hinmin attacked life as intelligent agents, experiencing a range of life experiences similar to those that typified the more affluent classes.
Earning a Living
Authors: Huffman James L.
Published: September 2018

Two occupation groups are at the center of this chapter: factory workers and those engaged in construction. In the former category, the focus is on laborers in the textile factories and on match-makers. A positive feature of this kind of work was the regularity of income, but negative features such as long hours, low wages, ill-treatment, and (for textile factory girls) confinement in dormitories dominated. One of the key characteristics of factory work was the dominance of women and children. The builders are represented by craftsmen and day laborers. The former had a rich tradition but saw both their prestige and their income decline in the Meiji years. Day laborers were among the least respected but most colorful of hinmin groups, and their work was sporadic at best.
Environment, Justice, Aesthetics
Authors: Adams Bella
Published: September 2018

This essay compares the turns and costs of latter-day consumer appetite whether the Amazon as rainforest or cattle as prime foodway and as expressed in novels by Karen Tei Yamashita and Ruth Ozeki. The one, on the essay’s argument, turns upon Yamashita’s treatment of the Brazil rainforest as ecological fact-fantasy, the other on Ozeki’s pastiche of US media advertising. Both, for Adams, are to be compared as writers who bring a wariest satiric eye to how the earth’s resources risk fatal endangerment.
Karen Tei Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange and Chaos Theory
Authors: Hsu Ruth Y.
Published: September 2018

In addressing Yamashita’s depiction of Los Angeles as interzone, a brimming multiethnic metropolis at once marked by its speed, its migrant populations, its politics of class and gender, Hsu brings chaos theory to bear as a way into understanding the novel. She explores the seven different voices that speak to the freneticism of both human and highway traffic in the city, with the Harbor Freeway as literal but also figurative centre. Chaos theory, she argues, offers a means of entry into the novel’s prime metaphors – the movement north of the actual tropic of cancer and the massive traffic standstill.

L’inuktitut et le corps-vocal dans le cinéma inuk : la décolonisation par le poème cinématographique
Authors: Bertrand Karine
Published: September 2018

Depuis les cinquante dernières années, les peuples inuits ont développé de nombreuses stratégies de décolonisation et de réappropriation culturelle, entre autres en utilisant leur propre langage ainsi qu’en « autochtonisant » le langage du colonisateur afin d’explorer les possibilités de renégociations de la langue. Au cinéma, cette décolonisation du langage se veut un acte politique de réclamation et d’affirmation identitaire, qui se manifeste entre autres par le refus d’ajouter des sous-titres à des films où la langue autochtone prédomine, ou en apposant un nouveau discours sur des images coloniales. Dans cette veine, la remédiation des langues inuites se manifeste bien souvent à travers une oralité ainsi qu’une vocalité des mots et des images (tradition orale) qui rappellent le lien au territoire de même que la connexion au monde des ancêtres. En nous inspirant des travaux de Philippe Le Goff sur le corps-vocal inuit et de Michelle Raheja sur la souveraineté visuelle, nous proposons de montrer comment se déploient les caractéristiques du corps-vocal dans la poésie et le cinéma inuits.
Lost and Found in (Self-)Translation: From Colonial to Post-colonial Contexts
Authors: Merkle Denise , Lane-Mercier Gillian , Mallet Michel
Published: September 2018

The introduction to this special issue discusses (self-)translation processes and products of migrant and colonized Indigenous peoples in translation and cultural studies scholarship, as well as the creation of minor paintings and literature by these peoples in order to affirm the existence of their languages and cultures. It nuances the linguistic, cultural and identitary tribulations to which colonized and migratory peoples are subjected, the double-edged sword of (self-)translation, and the paradoxical gains that can be found by going through its, at times, painful process. Ways in which (self-)translation can be used to empower dominated, often endangered, languages and cultures are also analyzed, before presenting, very briefly, the articles published in the issue

Published: September 2018

The aim of the study was to improve the in-vitro dissolution rate of quercetin (Qu) using cocrystallization of quercetin. Cocrystals of quercetin (Co Qu) were produced with malonic acid (Ma) as coformer at ratio 1:2 using solvent evaporation method. Cocrystals quercetin-malonic acid (Co Qu-Ma) was characterized using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Fourier Transforms Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR) and in-vitro dissolution study. A new endothermic peak at 277.9 °C was shown from the thermogram. Diffractogram of Co Qu-Ma showed a new diffraction peak at 2θ 9.81, 12.99, and 19.80°. Microphotograph showed that Qu and Ma exhibited a columnar-shaped and a pebble-shaped crystal, respectively, and FTIR wavenumber of O-H functional group of quercetin was shifted from its original position at 3411 to 3428 cm-1 in the physical mixture (pm) of Qu-Ma and 3418 cm-1 in Co Qu-Ma, respectively. The physicochemical characterizations using DTA, PXRD, SEM and FTIR indicated that Co Qu-Ma were successfully obtained through solvent evaporation method. The in-vitro dissolution rate of Co Qu-Ma was 95.30% at 60 min. Cocrystals effectively increased dissolution rate and dissolution efficiency in comparison to the pure quercetin and physical mixture of quercetin-malonic acid.

Fenomena merebaknya kasus pencemaran nama baik dan ujaran kebencian yang terjadi di Indonesia selalu menarik untuk diperbincangkan. Dengan kenyataan bahwa negara melalui pemerintahan yang sedang berkuasa saat ini sudah memberikan kebebasan berekspresi khususnya dalam hal mengutarakan pendapat kepada warganya, hal ini kerap menimbulkan masalah tersendiri. Dengan adanya kebebasan berpendapat itu, kemudian banyak orang melupakan batasanbatasan yang tidak boleh dilanggar, misalnya kaitannya dengan permasalahan hukum, etika, dan moral ketika seseorang berniat untuk mengungkapkan kritik atau pendapatnya di muka publik. Kemajuan teknologi yang semakin kencang, khususnya di Indonesia mendukung upaya pemerintah untuk membangun gaya demokratis dalam berbangsa dan bernegara. Dengan demikian masyarakat bisa dimudahkan untuk mengemukakan pendapatnya melalui media apapun, baik secara langsung maupun lewat beragam fitur media sosial yang sangat mudah dioperasikan oleh siapapun di dunia maya.
Convolutional neural networks and hash learning for feature extraction and of fast retrieval of pulmonary nodules
Authors: Qin Pinle , Chen Jun , Zhang Kai , Chai Rui
Published: September 2018

With a widespread use of digital imaging data in hospitals, the size of medical image repositories is increasing rapidly. This causes difficulty in managing and querying these large databases leading to the need of content based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) systems. A major challenge in CBMIR systems is the ?semantic gap? that exists between the low level visual information captured by imaging devices and high level semantic information perceived by the human. Using deep convolution neural network (CNN) to construct the CBMIR system can fully characterize the high level semantic features information for medical image retrieval. The existing network mostly used for the natural images can?t produce a good result directly applied to medical image. This paper used UNet method to preprocessing under the guidance of medical knowledge. Then, multi-scale receiving field convolution module is used to extract features of the segmented images with different sizes. Finally, encoded the features and used a coarse to fine search strategy with an average search accuracy of 0.73.

Published: September 2018

Energy consumption of fuel-fired industrial furnace accounts for about 23% of the national total energy consumption every year in China. Meanwhile, the reduction of combustion-generated pollutants in furnace has become very important due to the stringent environment laws and policy introduced in the recent years. It is therefore a great challenge for the researchers to simultaneously enhance the fuel efficiency of the furnace while controlling the pollution emission. In this study, a transient 3-D mathematical combustion model coupled with heat transfer and pollution formation model of a walking-beam-type reheating furnace has been developed to simulate the essential combustion, and pollution distribution in the furnace. Based on this model, considering nitrogen oxides formation mechanism, sensitivity study has been carried out to investigate the influence of fuel flow rate, air-fuel ratio on the resultant concentration of nitrogen oxides in the flue gas. The results of present study provide valuable information for improving the thermal efficiency and pollutant control of reheating furnace.

Urban Islam in the Netherlands: What Mosques Can Tell
Authors: Boender Welmoet
Published: September 2018

In the Netherlands the number of newly built mosques has grown fast in the past decades, attracting attention of academic observers, politicians and citizens alike. This paper presents a seven-fold typology of Dutch mosques, as one possible way to discuss how mosques have integrated into the urban landscape of Dutch cities and towns. Each type emphasizes a specific imagery of the material expression of the mosque’s ethnic-social-religious identity in Dutch society. Providing illustrative examples that support this classification, the typology will serve as analytical instrument to provide insight in the history of identity politics and dynamic notions of aesthetics.
As implicações da subjetividade do professor do Atendimento Educacional Especializado no seu trabalho pedagógico / Implications of the subjectivity of a Special Education Service teacher in her pedagogical work
Authors: Silva Santos Geandra Cláudia
Published: September 2018

O presente estudo investigou as implicações da subjetividade individual de uma professora do atendimento educacional especializado na prática pedagógica desenvolvida em uma escola pública.  Realizamos pesquisa por meio de estudo de caso, fundamentada pela Epistemologia Qualitativa, com uma professora da sala de recursos multifuncionais, em instituição de ensino fundamental. Optamos por instrumentos, dentre os quais citamos: entrevista, dinâmica conversacionais, redações, observações. A análise indicou que a subjetividade da professora era constituída pela condição de sujeito, bem como mostrou-se marcada pelas configurações subjetivas da religião, família e do trabalho, que servem de fonte às suas relações e experiências. Concluímos que as configurações subjetivas da religião e do trabalho foram mais atuantes na sua prática pedagógica. Destacamos a configuração do trabalho, pois identificamos sentidos subjetivos que vinculavam afetivamente a professora ao exercício do magistério. Ela se identifica com a docência e sente-se profundamente envolvida com os alunos que têm desenvolvimento atípico.
Práticas disciplinares nas representações de sujeitos da Educação em Montes Claros, MG (1910-1930) / Disciplinary practices in the Education’s subject representations in Montes Claros, MG (1910-1930)
Authors: Veloso Geisa Magela , Nascimento Rafael Baioni do , Amorim Mônica Maria Teixeira
Published: September 2018

O objetivo do artigo é discutir transformações das práticas disciplinares nas representações de sujeitos da educação, entre as décadas de 1910 e 1930. A discussão parte do confronto entre a Pedagogia Tradicional e o movimento da Escola Nova, em que a renovação dos processos disciplinares apresenta-se como condição para a efetivação de um projeto de sociedade moderna, no qual punições e castigos passam a ser compreendidos como práticas ultrapassadas, não científicas, inadequadas à socialização de novos hábitos e valores morais e sociais.

Objective: A laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the treatment of choice for gallbladder diseases. The aim of this study is to analyze laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed by a single surgeon over 8 years at Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Centre Pvt. Ltd. of Biratnagar, Nepal (NMCTH).

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 7557 patients that underwent a LC by a single surgeon, from October 2010 to July 2018. We divided it into 3 groups that include data of every three years.

Results: The hospital stay, operation time and conversion rates were decreased by years of experience. Female patients outnumbered male (M:F=1:3.7) patients in this study. The hospital stay (3 days), operation time (21 min), conversion (0.3%) and complications (1.9%) rates decreased from Group 1 to Group 3 (p<0.05).

Conclusion: As surgical experience increased with a rising number of cases, the conversion rate, complications, hospital stay and mean operation time decreased.

Nano materyal içerikli katkıların yakıt özelliklerine ve motor performansına etkileri
Authors: SEZER İsmet
Published: September 2018

Bu çalışma; dizel, biyodizel, su içeren emülsiyon yakıtları ve çeşitli yakıt karışımları gibi dizel motor yakıtlarında nano materyal içerikli katkıların kullanılmasının motor performansı ve emisyonlara etkileri üzerine yapılmış çeşitli çalışmaların sonuçlarından derlenmiştir. Dizel motorlarda zararlı egzoz emisyonlarını azaltması için üç farklı teknik uygulanmaktadır. Zararlı emisyonları azaltmak için uygulanan tekniklerden ilki motor tasarımda ve yakıt püskürtme sisteminde değişiklikler yapılarak yanmanın iyileştirilmesidir. Ancak bu pahalı ve zaman alıcı bir süreçtir. İkinci teknik katalitik konvertör ve partikül filtresi gibi çeşitli egzoz gazı azaltıcı sistemler kullanmaktır. Ancak, bu sistemler dizel motorun performansını olumsuz yönde etkiler. Dizel motorlarda, emisyonları azaltmak ve aynı zamanda dizel motorun performansını artırmak için kullanılan üçüncü teknik ise çeşitli yakıt katkılarının kullanılmasıdır. Dizel motorlardan yayılan en önemli kirleticiler azot oksit (NOx) ve partikül madde (PMis) emisyonlarıdır. Uygulamada, NOx ve PM emisyonlarını birlikte azaltmak oldukça zordur. Emisyonları azaltmanın ve motor performansını artırmanın en iyi yolunun nano materyal içerikli katkıların ve suyla emülsiyonlaştırılmış yakıtların kullanımı olduğu birçok araştırmacı tarafından bildirilmektedir. Bu derlemede çeşitli dizel motor yakıtlarında farklı nano materyal içerikli katkıların kullanımının yakıt özellikleri ve motor performansına etkileri incelenmiştir.

Downsized spark ignition engines coupled with a direct injection strategy are more and more attractive for car manufacturers in order to reduce pollutant emissions and increase efficiency. However, the combustion process may be affected by local heterogeneities caused by the interaction between the spray and turbulence. The aim for car manufacturers of such engine strategy is to create, for mid-to-high speeds and mid-up-high loads, a mixture which is as homogeneous as possible. However, although injection occurs during the intake phase, which favors homogeneous mixing, local heterogeneities of the equivalence ratio are still observed at the ignition time. The analysis of the mixture preparation is difficult to perform experimentally because of limited optical accesses. In this context, numerical simulation, and in particular Large Eddy Simulation (LES) are complementary tools for the understanding and analysis of unsteady phenomena. The paper presents the LES study of the impact of direct injection on the mixture preparation and combustion in a spark ignition engine. Numerical simulations are validated by comparing LES results with experimental data previously obtained at IFPEN. Two main analyses are performed. The first one focuses on the fuel mixing and the second one concerns the effect of the liquid phase on the combustion process. To highlight these phenomena, simulations with and without liquid injection are performed and compared.
Non-philosophical mystique and the rehabilitation of heresis
Authors: Lorandou Eleni
Published: September 2018

In the second part of the Triptych, Mystique non-philosophique à l'usage des contemporains, François Laruelle puts to the test of "non-philosophy" the field of phenomena that are termed as "religious" whether Christian, Judaic or Gnostic. Non-philosophical mystique is born in the spirit of heresy rather than sanctity. It springs from the effort to join Man with himself rather than with God founding the radical cause of the new Logos in the One-in-One. Man is emptied from his identity, becomes a Christ-subject who comes to fight for the World. Future mystique ends as the amorous knowledge, an erotic a priori constitutive of the mystical subject: it is not an illusory transformation of Man or a revision of his relation to God or the World. The final aim – as I will try to show – is to transfigure the heretical experience, mystical as well as erotic of the human such as it becomes capable of a form of unison with itself as unique Other.
Non-Standard Stainless: Laruelle, Inconsistency and Sense-impressions
Authors: Bremner David
Published: September 2018

"Stains" can serve as a metaphor for the role allotted to meaninglessness not only by partisans of the deterritorializing force of "brute matter", but also by diagnosers of symbolic incompleteness. For both, the blindspot that will lead to the disturbance of a given regime of meaning must be determined through a smear or glitch which that regime cannot sublate: the mark of a Real stripped of systematising mediation. However, we argue that it is all too easy to allow the stringency of this Real to be undermined by the inflation in its name of merely contingent empirical instances. Such blockages to theoretical and artistic practice can be removed with the aid of the articulation of incompleteness and inconsistency implied by François Laruelle's conception of the Real as non-consistent but hypercomplete "radical immanence". À rebours of Laruelle himself, different types of meaninglessness can then be distinguished, de-metaphorized, and conceptualized as "noise".
A personalist versus a rationalist theory of virtues
Authors: Moser Susanne
Published: September 2018

The purpose of this article is to make visible Max Scheler's great contribution to philosophical research on virtues and values, and to re-integrate it into the current discourse. Christoph Halbig's marginal reference to Scheler provides a good opportunity for this. Since both authors pursue completely different objectives, the question arises as to how much of Halbig's approach to a theory of action can be reconciled with Scheler's personalist understanding of virtue. While Halbig seeks criteria for assessing the actions of others, Scheler points to the empowerment supplied by virtue itself. The author argues that Scheler already anticipated some ideas, which has led to a new awareness of virtues in contemporary psychology.

In order for the field of bioelectronics to make an impact on healthcare, there is an urgent requirement for the development of “wireless” electronic systems to both sense and actuate cell behaviour. Herein we report the first example of an innovative intracellular wireless electronic communication system. We demonstrate that chemistry can be electrically modulated in a “wireless” manner on the nanoscale at the surface of conductive nanoparticles uptaken by cells at unreported low potentials. The system is made functional by modifying gold nanoparticles incorporating a Zn-porphyrin, which are taken up by cells and are shown to be biocompatible. It is demonstrated the redox state of Zn-porphyrin modified gold nanoparticles is modulated and reported on fluorescently when applying an external electrical potential. This provides an attractive new “wireless” approach to develop novel bioelectronic devices for modulating and sensing cellular behaviour using intracellular monitoring.
