Published: January 2020

Objective: Cytogenetic plays an inevitable role in predicting the diagnosis of acute leukemia. The recurrent chromosomal aberrations in acute leukemia have provided critical insights into the pathophysiological mechanism of leukemogenesis. Cytogenetics findings at diagnostics provide important information for decision-making in both childhood and adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The cure rate for ALL is >80% in children and 35% in adults. Despite the therapeutic advances in ALL, several important biological and pathophysiological questions remain to be answered to achieve an accurate diagnosis, timely prognosis, and maximum therapeutic benefit.

Methods: The present study was carried out at tertiary care hospital, New Delhi, India. A total of 144 newly diagnosed ALL patients were analyzed for clinicohematological profile, immunophenotyping, conventional, and molecular cytogenetics.

Results: The study population was found to have normal karyotypes in most of the cases; however, abnormalities also reported. Our study clearly indicates that the application of fluorescence in situ hybridization has increased sensitivity and accuracy for detecting various chromosomal abnormalities, more so with the cryptic rearrangements.

Conclusion: We observed that the prevalence of the molecular subgroup of leukemia with a potential for a favorable clinical outcome (ETV6-RUNX1 and hyperdiploidy) in precursor B-ALL is higher in the North India.

THE GREEN SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES OF ONION DNA AND SCREENING FOR IN VITRO ANTITYROSINASE ACTIVITY
Authors: SNEHA THAKUR  , KRISHNA MOHAN G
Published: January 2020

Objective: The main objective of the research work is to evaluate the antityrosinase potential of onion DNA silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).

Methods: The onions were procured from the local market and DNA was extracted from onions using detergent and methylated spirit. The isolated DNA was selected for synthesis of AgNPs which acts as capping and reducing agent. About 10 ml of the DNA extract was added to 90 ml of 0.1 N silver nitrate solution. After 24 h incubation, the solution turned dark brown, which indicates the formation of AgNPs. The synthesized DNA AgNPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies.

Results: The results revealed that the particles were uniform in shape with face-centered cubic structure. The particles are 153±20.4 nm in size and were no signs of agglomeration measured by DLS studies. The FTIR spectroscopy revealed B form of DNA along with strong N-H stretching, C=N stretching, and also asymmetric vibrations of phosphate groups characteristic for DNA molecule. The XRD studies revealed the face-centered cubic structure. SEM studies revealed the spherical structure with average particle size of 150±0.1 nm for single DNA nanoparticles. The onion DNA AgNPs were further investigated for its antityrosinase activity against the standard kojic acid and were to have anticancer potential nearer to the standard.

Conclusion: From the results, it is evident that the synthesized onion DNA AgNPs have antityrosinase potential and can be further investigated for in vivo anticancer potential in future.

La víctima de regreso al sistema de justicia penal
Authors: Morales Brand José Luis Eloy
Published: January 2020

El modelo procesal penal acusatorio toma en cuenta a la víctima olvidada en el sistema penal, pues no sólo se trata de un objeto del proceso, sino que cuenta con una serie de facultades y garantías de protección, para solucionar eficaz y rápidamente el conflicto, atendiéndola de inmediato y generando una protección de las autoridades para favorecer a su  reparación del daño integral. La víctima cuenta con el derecho a informarse en forma completa de la situación del procedimiento; se incrementan las medidas de protección y aseguramiento de sus derechos; cuenta con una intervención activa con el acusador, y para ejercer la acción de reparación del daño; puede impugnar lo que le perjudique; y en algunos casos se le permite realizar la investigación y continuar con el proceso. La víctima deja de ser un mero objeto de investigación, y se convierte en sujeto procesal interesado y con derechos.
Developing the Methodology for Studying and Assessing the Severity of Occupational Deformations of Athletes Based on an Eye Movement Analysis
Authors: Barabanschikova Valentina , Kovalev Artem , Klimova Oksana , Men'shikova Galina
Published: January 2020

The study and prediction of emergence and development of occupational deformations is one of the urgent tasks in psychology. However, existing methods are questionnaires, and their results can be distorted due to self-reports by respondents. In this regard, the aim of the study was to develop a methodology for studying and assessing the severity of occupational deformations using unbiased indicators of oculomotor activity and the burnout syndrome example.

34 athlete-skaters took part in the experiment. As stimuli, texts of negative, positive and neut­ral content were used. The results identified a link between the severity of burnout symptoms such as “reduction of personal achievements” and “depersonalization” with eye movement parameters. In particular, the members of the “reduction of personal achievements” group, while reading texts with negative content, tried to focus less on negative words thereby avoiding them. Thus, using the parameters of eye movements, the authors conducted an unbiased assessment of text areas, to which the subjects' attention was directed. This allowed reliably identifying the behavioural strategies for subjects who suffer from burnout syndrome.

INTERACTION DETERMINING FACTORS FROM REGENCY / CITY REGION IN EAST JAVA
Authors: Nuraini Ida , Hidayat Rahmad , Sulistyono Setyo Wahyu
Published: January 2020

This study aims to calculate the strength of interaction between regions and determine the variables determining the level of interaction between regions. This research was conducted in the area of East Java province with the object of 39 regencies and cities using the variable mileage, educational facilities, and health facilities. The data used are secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency of East Java, meanwhile the analytical tool used is gravity analysis and regression analysis, with the regression model used is panel data regression, the Random Effect model. The results showed that the areas in the interaction category were weak, namely the southern part of East Java, the western part and the eastern part while those in the interaction category were in the middle eastern part of Java. Category of regions with strong interaction are Gerbang kertosusila and surrounding areas. From the random effect model regression analysis it is known that the distance, education and health facilities variables together influence 95% of the level of interaction between regions and the most dominant variable is the distance between regions which has a regression coefficient of -62480222. Health facility variable has a significant positive effect while education facility variable has no effect on interactions between regions. Therefore, in order for equitable development to be realized immediately, the distance between regions must be shortened by improving the quality of roads, construction of new roads and toll roads, especially in the southern, eastern and eastern parts of Java.
Negative mood and employee voice: The moderating role of leadership
Authors: Zhang Qihua , Hu Haihua , Wang Chengjun
Published: January 2020

We applied mood-as-information theory to investigate the effect of negative mood on prohibitive and promotive employee voice, and the moderating role of transformational and transactional leadership styles in this relationship. We recruited a paired employee–supervisor sample,
comprising 48 supervisors who rated their employees' promotive and prohibitive voice, and 224 employees who completed measures of negative affect and their supervisors' transformational and transactional leadership. Our results showed that negative mood enhanced prohibitive voice but reduced
promotive voice. Further, transformational leadership weakened the effect of negative mood on voice, whereas transactional leadership reinforced this effect. The research results provide a solid theoretical basis for managers to manage their negative mood by changing their leadership behavior,
and provide a new perspective for leaders to develop employee management strategies, and develop an objective and impartial evaluation system based on the intuitive external behaviors of employees.
Modeling the set of blade profiles of a gas turbine engine
Authors: Mamaev Vladimir K. , Vinogradov Leonid V. , Oschepkov Petr P.
Published: January 2020

In the development of gas turbine engines (GTE) it is necessary to simulate the flow section of blade machines (turbines, compressors). At the same time, it is rational to use previously designed profiles and set of profiles with high aerodynamic and efficient performance. This is due to the fact that the process of creating profiles of a nozzle and moving blades set requires the participation of a large team and considerable labor and time costs. Many sets were created for the graphic-analytical design method, which leads to an increase in the development time and a decrease in the universality in terms of the use of programming languages and digital technologies. The article presents the design scheme of the nozzle profile sets of type С8626, the main fragments of the mathematical model of the sets, the results of the design of the original profile С8626 and the sets, comparison of the geometric parameters of the source and built profiles. The contours of the initial profile are approximated by second-order Bezier curves, and the leading and trailing edges are circular arcs. The coordinates of the points of conjugation of the circles of the leading and trailing edges with convex (suction side) and concave (pressure side) profile surfaces are determined. After approximation of the contours of the initial profile, an integral system of equations of the original C8626 turbine profile was obtained. The proposed mathematical model can be considered as independent, it can be a subsystem (software module) of CAD, to represent the shearer of the electronic atlas of profiles and etc.
Обобщенная предельная теорема для периодической дзета-функции Гурвица
Authors: Римкявичене Аудроне
Published: January 2020

С времен Бора и Йессена (1910-1935) в теории дзета-функций прмменяются вероятностные методы. В 1930 г. они доказали первую теорему для дзета-функции Римана $$\zeta(s), $$ $$s=\sigma+it,$$ которая является прототипом современных предельных теорем, характеризующих поведение дзета-функции при помощи слабой сходимости вероятностных мер. Более точно, они получили, что при $$\sigma>1$$ существует предел $$lim_{T\to\infty} \frac{1}{T} \mathrm{J} \left\{t\in[0,T]: \log\zeta(\sigma+it)\in R\right\},$$ где R - прямоугольник на комплексной плоскости со сторонами, паралельными осям, а $$\mathrm{J}A$$ обозначает меру Жордана множества $$A\subset \mathbb{R}.$$ Два года спустя они распространили приведенный результат на полуплоскость $$\sigma>\frac{1}{2}.$$ Идеи Бора и Йессена были развиты в работах Винтнера, Борщсениуса, Йессена, Сельберга и других известных математиков. Современные версии теорем Бора-Йессена для широкого класса дзета-функций были получены в работах К. Матсумото. В основном теория Бора-Йессена применялась для дзета-функций, имеющих эйлерово произведение по простым числам. В настоящей статье доказывается предельная теорема для дзета-функций, не имеющих эйлерова произведения и являющихся обобщением классичесской дзета-функции Гурвица. Пусть $$\alpha, 0<\alpha \leqslant 1, $$ фиксированный параметр, а $$\mathfrak{a}=\{a_m: m\in \mathbb{N}_0= \mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}\}$$ - периодическая последовательность комплексных чисел. Тогда периодическая дзета-функция Гурвица $$\zeta(s,\alpha; \mathfrak{a})$$ в полуплоскости $$\sigma>1$$ определяется рядом Дирихле $$\zeta(s,\alpha; \mathfrak{a})=\sum_{m=0}^\infty frac{a_m}{(m+\alpha)^s}$$ и мероморфно продолжается на всю комплексную плоскость. Пусть $$\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{C})$$ - борелевское $$\sigma$$-поле комплексной плоскости, $$\mathrm{meas}A$$ - мера Лебега измеримого множества $$A\subset \mathbb{R},$$ а функция $$\varphi(t)$$ при $$ t\geqslant T_0$$ имеет монотонную положительную производную $$\varphi'(t), $$ при $$t\to\infty$$ удовлетворяющую оценкам $$(\varphi'(t))^{-1}=o(t)$$ и $$\varphi(2t) \max_{t\leqslant u\leqslant 2t} (\varphi'(u))^{-1}\ll t. $$ Тогда в статье получено, что при $$\sigma>\frac{1}{2}$$ $$ \frac{1}{T} \mathrm{meas}\left\{t\in[0,T]: \zeta(\sigma+i\varphi(t), \alpha; \mathfrak{a})\in A\right\},\quad A\in \mathcal{B}(\mathbb{C}), $$ при $$T\to\infty$$ слабо сходится к некоторой в явном виде заданной вероятностной мере на $$(\mathbb{C}, \mathcal{B}(\mathbb{C})).$$

A "GRANDE FAMÍLIA" DO INSTITUTO OSWALDO CRUZ: A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DOS TRABALHADORES AUXILIARES DOS CIENTISTAS NO INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XX
Authors: Reis Renata
Published: January 2020

Sustentada em pesquisa documental levantada no Departamento de Arquivo e Documentação da Casa de Oswaldo Cruz/Fiocruz, com fotografias utilizadas como fonte de pesquisa, a tese se propõe responder quem eram os trabalhadores subalternos da instituição, como se deram as relações destes com os cientistas, qual a sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento da ciência e da saúde pública no Brasil. Suas análises apontam, ao final, para a confirmação da contribuição fundamental do trabalho dos auxiliares para o desenvolvimento da ciência e da saúde pública brasileira. Também indicam que a divisão de classe presente nas relações de trabalho do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, reproduziu uma divisão social do trabalho que limitou o reconhecimento do trabalho e dos conhecimentos adquiridos pelos auxiliares de laboratório. Conclui que “agindo como sujeitos de suas próprias histórias”, estes trabalhadores “buscaram nas brechas da instituição e na construção de relações de reciprocidade entre si, trabalhar e viver suas vidas, ora se submetendo e ora subvertendo o curso da história”.

Velfærdsproblemer adresseres i stigende grad på tværs af sektorer ud fra ideen om, at nye løsninger skal samskabes i fællesskab med de mennesker, hvis liv de berører og gennem aktivering af eksisterende ressourcer i civilsamfundet. I artiklen undersøger forfatterne, hvordan et lokalt fællesskab konstitueres med afsæt i en case, hvor en gruppe borgere og en offentlig koordinator afprøver en digital platform som en måde at understøtte borgernes fællesskab. Analysen tager afsæt i social praksisteori og en relationel ontologi for derved flytte fokus til en procesorienteret forståelse af fællesskabelse, i hvilken det ’fælles’ kan ses som et fænomen, der kontinuerligt skabes og genskabes. Analysen peger på fælleskabelse som en proces, der konstitueres gennem sammenfletningen af handlinger, erfaringer og forestillinger i interaktion med spatiale, temporale og materielle elementer. Artiklen slutter med en diskussion af artiklens pointer i relation til offentlige aktører.

Integrated sustainable performance management systems: A case study on Italian benefit corporations
Authors: Nigri Giorgia , Del Baldo Mara , Agulini Armando
Published: January 2020

Today, to integrate sustainable development goals into business, an overall integrated sustainable performance management system — to implement and measure these global goals — is needed. In a short timeframe, the benefit impact assessment (BIA) — elaborated by B Lab, utilized by benefit corporations (a new and emerging hybrid type of prosocial business) and adopted by the United Nations — became the most comprehensive indicator to evaluate company practices against SDGs. Italy was the first sovereign country to insert the benefit corporation legislation after the US and analyze the effectiveness of the BIA. This prompted us to address our attention to the integration of benefit-driven indicators, adopted by Italian B Corps into their performance management systems, and to analyze if these indicators are used by managers to support internal decision-making. To achieve this goal, cross-sector semi-structured interviews were conducted in seven Italian certified benefit corporations. Relevant to both researchers and practitioners, our review provides a useful snapshot of how the BIA is developing as an assessment and how value-based organizations are moving toward an integrated sustainable performance management system.
Factors Affecting the Perceptions of Small-Scale Organic Farmers in South Africa: An OLS Approach
Authors: Eyinade Gabriel Adewunmi , Akharume Celestine Ohi
Published: January 2020

Much investments have been tailored towards organic farming by several stakeholders in recent years. Reasons for these are poverty mitigation, income generation as well as food security and good dietary diets. Unfortunately, there are no significant improvements in those areas where organic farming has been funded and encouraged. The study aims at identifying factors affecting the perceptions of small-scale organic farmers using ordinary least square regression model (OLS). One hundred and sixty structure questionnaires were administered on 160 small-scale organic farmers in Amathole District Municipality to gather data for the study. The results revealed that gender and educational level are the major factors affecting the perceptions of small-scale organic farmers in South Africa. Nevertheless, to open the prospective of smallscale organic farmers, the study suggested that these farmers should have greater access to extension services and support. This will go a long way in assisting the farmers to diversify and improve their production, thus enhancing livelihoods and creating markets for organic foods.
Contrasting Contemporary Advertising Media Strategies of Small Retail Firms:
Authors: Masocha Reginald
Published: January 2020

This paper is an investigation contrasting modern and traditional advertising media from the perspective of small retail firms in Limpopo province of South Africa. Prior studies established juxtaposition in terms of media choices which continuously challenges businesses at large, per se, small retail businesses. A cross-sectional survey, through a purposive sampling technique of a subsequent sample size of 236 owners and managers of small retail firms was utilised in this research. Descriptive statistics, correlation and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were used in data analysis. Furthermore, structural equation modelling (SEM) was used in hypotheses testing. The findings of the study posit that traditional advertising media have no significant influence on communication effectiveness and the performance of small retail SMEs. Contrarily, modern advertising media was found to positively and significantly influence the performance of retail SMEs. The practical implications of this study primarily pertain to the demise of traditional advertising media in the contemporary environments which business people need to consider. Theoretically, the study posits a review of the theory that pertains to the use of traditional media juxtaposed to modern media in contemporary advertising.

The South African Immigration Act 19 of 2004 requires that all international students have proof of medical insurance cover for the academic year of study. The medical insurance cover must be from a registered provider with the South African Council for Medical Schemes. Some medical insurance companies provide gifts to students to gain a larger market share within the educational institutions. Health insurance products are very crucial in the lives of university students and therefore the students must be familiar with medical product benefits and exclusions. It seems that many students lack relevant knowledge of health insurance products. Students seem to have a perception that medical insurance products cover all healthcare expenses. Dissatisfied customers may tarnish the image of the respective medical insurance company and result in customers seeking alternate products. The purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of promotional tools in creating awareness amongst international university studentsâ€™ selection of medical insurance products. The study was descriptive and quantitative in nature. Four hundred international students studying at two state universities in Durban, South Africa completed a structured questionnaire. The results indicate that the respondents are very sensitive to price and the majority of them are influenced by advertising and word of mouth. The results of the study indicated that medical insurance companies should consider the quality of service and price as being very important factors when designing a promotional mix. Awareness creation is the backbone of sales growth and market share.
Characteristics of Credit Instruments Issued by Stokvels in South Africa
Authors: Ngcobo Lindiwe , Chisasa Joseph
Published: January 2020

Access to formal credit and other financial instruments remains a challenge for the majority of households in South Africa. The objective of this study was, therefore, to determine the characteristics of credit instruments issued by stokvels to households in South Africa. Prior studies have generally focused on mobilization of savings through stokvels while none has paid particular attention to the credit supply function of stokvels. This study attempts to fill this gap by using a self-administered research questionnaire on a sample of 386 respondents. Members of stokvels were surveyed from the cities of Pretoria and Johannesburg in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor and correlation analyses. Results show that stokvels issue short-term loans from less than 3 to 6 months. Interest rates are high ranging from 25% to 35% and are charged monthly. Loan sizes are small with approximately two-thirds of the respondents receiving loans above R500 while the remaining third received less than R500. Finally, all loans are secured by the borrowerâ€™s identification document or bank card and personal identification number. The results of this study have policy implications for financial institutions in South Africa.

A processing strategy for obtaining alumina-spodumene ceramics from fine
commercial powders is presented. In this work, a spodumene addition to
calcined alumina powder was performed and their proportion was explored
between 15 and 45 wt%. The industrial spodumene presented secondary phases,
mainly albite and quartz. Mechanical properties were evaluated. Although
they were lower than those of sintered alumina, based on the achieved values
an adequate behavior in structural applications can be assumed, especially
taking into account that the better mechanical behavior was coupled with the
lower thermal expansion. Relatively low thermal expansion( ? 5 x 10-1?C-1)
behaviors were observed in one of the developed materials. Noncrystalline
phases containing lithium were detected. We assume that all the lithium
oxide incorporated through the spodumene is in the glassy phase after the
sintering of the materials. This difference in lithium concentration in the
composition of the resulting glass affected the thermal expansion of the
developed materials. Particularly with low lithium content (30 wt% of
additive) the material performance was enhanced. This, together with the
mechanical behavior, encourages structural applications with high
thermomechanical solicitations. With the information gathered, a wide range
of materials with specific properties can be obtained by modulating the
spodumene-alumina proportion only.
Syrian priesthood in the territory of Danube Limes of Moesia superior: Funerary monument dedicated to Jupiter Dolichenus and Sea Syria from Glamija
Authors: Gavrilovic-Vitas Nadezda
Published: January 2020

In 1982, during archaeological excavations in the Danube Limes, a funerary
stela was found in the locality of Glamija I (in the village of Rtkovo),
inside the Roman fortress, dedicated to Jupiter Dolichenus and Dea Syria. The
dedicant is the priest of the divine couple. The monument from Glamija I
represents one of only a few monuments dedicated to Jupiter Dolichenus and
Dea Syria, particularly since the dedication is made by the priest of the
gods. This paper discusses the question and role of Syrian priesthood in the
territory of the Danube Limes and the Central Balkan Roman provinces, in the
context of the cults of Jupiter Dolichenus and Dea Syria, along with the
hypotheses regarding the possible sanctuaries of the deities, their
worshippers and the period when their cults existed in the aforementioned
territories.
Invisible victims of induced abortions in the kingdom of Yugoslavia in the 1930s
Authors: Jorgic-Stepanovic Kristina
Published: January 2020

The author gives a detailed analysis of the 1929 Criminal Code paragraphs
that pertain to abortion. Analyzing the social indications, the paper also
explains the methodological inability to determine the precise number of
abortions performed during the 1930s. However, the subject of this paper is
not solely an exploration of legal regulations on abortions, but rather the
identification of the treatment of women in the Yugoslav Kingdom?s Criminal
law from this point of view. Considering that the problem of induced
abortions was approached from the existing conservative- patriarchal socio-
political position, the press was often the key source for analyzing and
documenting this problem. Precisely because of this fact, the paper presents
an affair that revolved around the work of gynaecologist Pance Stojanovic in
mid-summer 1936. This case showed the deep corruption of the Yugoslav
society, but also the involvement of various representatives of power in
this affair. It turned out that the patients were women from different
backgrounds, but that girls and women from affluent families were far more
numerous. Faced with the increasing number of fatalities following induced
abortions, doctors at the 17th Congress of the Serbian Medical Association
called for changes to the articles of the Yugoslav Criminal Code relating to
abortion.
The Business Environment of Destination Marketing
Authors: Celuch Krzysztof
Published: January 2020

Marketing is the process of creating, communicating and delivering offers which prove valuable to the customers, clients, partners and community focused around a given brand, product, service, person, event or place. It is the process consisting of the identification, prediction and delivery of the strategic benefits expected by the recipients as well as the management of profit-generating relations with clients. Destination marketing is a realisation of the process in relation to a selected geographical unit and, at the same time, a market concept of managing the said unit. Activities undertaken within the destination marketing strategy may be aimed at improving the image of a given territory and increasing its recognisability, developing specific features of its social and economic life, and influencing opinions, attitudes and behaviours of external and internal groups of stakeholders by shaping appropriate set of means and instruments for the stimulation of trade-off relations. These activities result in creating the image of a destination, that is a set of impressions and interpretations spontaneously connected with a given stimulus (physical or social) which brings on appropriate
associations with the place in question.
A ORELHA DIREITA DE MALCO COM BASE NO TEXTO DE JOÃO 18:10 E LEVÍTICO 8:24
Authors: De Azevedo André Luis Estolano
Published: January 2020

O presente estudo teológico tem por objetivo dissertar sobre um fato da vida de Jesus que se desencadeou na noite de sua prisão. Malco, servo do sumo sacerdote Caifás, tem sua orelha direita decepada por um golpe de espada de um dos discípulos, de sorte que Jesus se opõe ao ato de violência cometido contra seu acusador, curando sua orelha perdida e demonstrando, mais uma entre as várias outras vezes, que o caminho da violência apenas havia impedido a vitória do povo de Israel contra seus inimigos anteriores. Para cumprir os objetivos propostos neste estudo, fez-se uma ampla pesquisa bibliográfica focada na bíblia sagrada e em autores renomados com o objetivo de reforçar as opiniões expressadas. Baseado na história da vida de Jesus Cristo e sobre os procedimentos que levavam um homem a ser convocado ao posto de sumo sacerdote, Jesus o cura, mostrando que a violência não é o caminho e que Ele veio para que a profecia se cumprisse e todos tivessem a salvação pelo seu sangue.

O escopo do Artigo quer apresentar o itinerário da Universidade, nascida no coração da Europa Medieval, até o nascimento da Faculdade de Teologia Nossa Senhora da Assunção, instalada no coração da cidade de São Paulo, em 1949. No coração da cidade de São Paulo, em 20 de setembro de 1949, do querer do cardeal arcebispo de São Paulo, Dom Carlos Carmelo de Vasconcelos Motta, nasceu a Faculdade de Teologia, efetivamente instalada em 07 de março de 1950, no Pontificado de Pio XII. Naquele momento, beneficiou-se a metrópole que se agigantava e ganhou a Igreja no Brasil com o novo ambiente acadêmico que nascia. Por meio da cidade que crescia com seus arranha-céus, o saber teológico possibilitou o homem daquele momento buscar o conhecimento dos céus. A pauliceia desvairada via sua gente investigar a presença de Deus na História, bebendo das Sagradas Escrituras e pesquisando, por intermédio das Fontes, o dinamismo e envolvimento da célere metrópole.
O CAMINHO DE PUEBLA 40 ANOS DEPOIS E A OPÇÃO PREFERENCIAL PELOS POBRES
Authors: De Oliveira Castro Chaves Robson Ribeiro
Published: January 2020

O artigo presente analisa a realidade do Conselho Episcopal Latino-Americano (CELAM) e sua atuação no continente. Ao realizar a III Conferência em Puebla (1979), é mister observar o seu aspecto histórico a partir da opção preferencial pelos pobres. A realidade de Puebla e a Igreja latino-americana são fatos de grandes transformações como: as Comunidades Eclesiais de base (CEB’s) e a Teologia da Libertação (TdL), que trouxe para a realidade do povo a fé professada nos templos. O caminho de estrutura e de propósito é de uma Igreja autêntica, aberta ao próximo, atenta às realidades sociais, que assume a opção preferencial pelos pobres e que combate com afinco as injustiças. O Documento de Puebla (DP) é de cunho pastoral e se fez ressoar na Igreja Latino-americana, cumprindo o objetivo de se engajar nas particulares do Continente. Com essa proposta, debruçamo-nos diante do caráter histórico, a opção ética de Puebla e a realidade dos pobres da época e do contexto apresentado. De fato, com a autêntica opção pelos pobres, temos a possibilidade de repensar o que foi feito, abrindo frentes de denúncia e de anúncio do Evangelho aos pobres e a valorização de sua atuação.
