Η αφηγηματική λειτουργία του θεϊκού στοιχείου στις Μεταμορφώσεις του Απουλήιου
Authors: Μουράρου Παρασκευή
Published: June 2022

Στην παρούσα διατριβή έγινε προσπάθεια να διερευνηθεί η αντιπαλότητα καλού και κακού η οποία εμφανίζεται στις Μεταμορφώσεις του Απουλήιου στο πλαίσιο τoυ διαλόγου με την προγενέστερη λογοτεχνική παράδοση. Η συγκεκριμένη αντιπαράθεση λαμβάνει κάθε φορά διαφορετική μορφή στην εξέλιξη της αφήγησης – αλήθεια / ψεύδος, γνώση / άγνοια, βοήθεια / δυσκολίες – και αποτελεί συνεκτικό στοιχείο της ιστορίας. Έτσι, στην αρχή του μυθιστορήματος εμφανίζονται οι κύριες εκπρόσωποι του κακού, οι μάγισσες, οι οποίες ξεγελούν τον Λούκιο και τον οδηγούν στη μεταμόρφωση του σε όνο. Στην ένθετη ιστορία του Έρωτα και της Ψυχής το δίπολο καλό / κακό εκπροσωπείται αντίστοιχα από τους χαρακτήρες που βοηθούν ή εμποδίζουν την Ψυχή να ενωθεί με το θείο. Στο 10ο βιβλίο η συγκεκριμένη αντίθεση κάνει την εμφάνιση της στις πράξεις των χαρακτήρων που συμμετέχουν στις διαφορετικές ιστορίες του βιβλίου, ενώ παράλληλα συντελείται μια αλλαγή στον χαρακτήρα του Λούκιου ο οποίος συνειδητοποιεί τις λανθασμένες επιλογές του. Στο τελευταίο βιβλίο του μυθιστορήματος κάνει την εμφάνισή της η θεά Ίσιδα, η σώτειρα του Λούκιου, η οποία επαναφέρει τον πρωταγωνιστή στην ανθρώπινη μορφή του και ακυρώνει τη δράση της μαγείας. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο το καλό εμφανίζεται να επικρατεί τελικά στην αντιπαράθεση με το κακό.
Ολοκληρωσιμότητα δυναμικών συστημάτων
Authors: Μητσόπουλος Αντώνιος
Published: June 2022

Στα πλαίσια μίας θεωρίας Φυσικής, τα φυσικά φαινόμενα περιγράφονται από φυσικά μεγέθη που ικανοποιούν συγκεκριμένους φυσικούς νόμους. Τα φυσικά μεγέθη ταυτοποιούνται με κατάλληλα γεωμετρικά αντικείμενα (ΓΑ), ενώ οι φυσικοί νόμοι με δυναμικές εξισώσεις που αφορούν τα αντίστοιχα ΓΑ. Ένα ΓΑ είναι ένα σύνολο συνιστωσών, το οποίο κάτω από μετασχηματισμούς συντεταγμένων υπακούει σε κάποιον δεδομένο νόμο μετασχηματισμού. Με βάση αυτό το χαρακτηριστικό, σε κάθε θεωρία Φυσικής ορίζονται κάποια θεμελιώδη ΓΑ, τα οποία επιλέγουν τις ομάδες μετασχηματισμών συντεταγμένων της θεωρίας. Για παράδειγμα, η μετρική Lorentz επιλέγει την ομάδα των μετασχηματισμών Lorentz (για την ακρίβεια την ομάδα των μετασχηματισμών Poincare). Η αρχή του συναλλοιώτου απαιτεί ακολούθως ότι όλα τα ΓΑ της θεωρίας θα ικανοποιούν την ομάδα μετασχηματισμών της θεωρίας, ενώ και οι νόμοι που διατυπώνει η θεωρία θα περιέχουν μόνο ΓΑ αυτού του τύπου. Κατά κανόνα οι νόμοι των (κλασικών) θεωριών Φυσικής εκφράζονται με συστήματα διαφορικών εξισώσεων δεύτερης τάξης, τα οποία πρέπει να επιλυθούν (αναλυτικά ή ποιοτικά) προκειμένου να μελετηθεί ένα φυσικό φαινόμενο. Όμως, εάν εξαιρέσουμε μερικές βασικές εξισώσεις -κυρίως της μορφής του ταλαντωτή- η επίλυση αυτών των συστημάτων δεν είναι απλή, καθώς τις περισσότερες φορές οι δυναμικές εξισώσεις δεν ολοκληρώνονται είτε επειδή το σύστημα που ορίζουν είναι όντως μη ολοκληρώσιμο είτε επειδή δεν υπάρχει μία συστηματική και αξιόπιστη μεθοδολογία για την εξέταση της ολοκληρωσιμότητάς τους. Ευτυχώς, στη διάρκεια των ετών, έχουν αναπτυχθεί διάφορες μεθοδολογίες αλγεβρικές και γεωμετρικές, οι οποίες μπορούν να εγγυηθούν ότι ένα δυναμικό σύστημα είναι ολοκληρώσιμο -ή ακόμα καλύτερα υπερολοκληρώσιμο- υπολογίζοντας ποσότητες που παραμένουν σταθερές κατά μήκος λύσεων (ή τροχιών) του συστήματος. Αυτές οι ποσότητες είναι γνωστές στη βιβλιογραφία με διάφορα ονόματα όπως πρώτα ολοκληρώματα (ΠΟ), σταθερές της κίνησης, διατηρούμενα ρεύματα, και νόμοι διατήρησης. Τα ΠΟ είναι σημαντικά, διότι μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν για να μειώσουν την τάξη του δυναμικού συστήματος και, εάν είναι "αρκετά'' σε αριθμό, να προσδιορίσουν ακόμα και τη λύση του μέσω πεπερασμένου αριθμού ολοκληρώσεων. Στην τελευταία περίπτωση λέμε ότι το σύστημα είναι Liouville ολοκληρώσιμο και συνδέεται με μία κανονική Lagrangian, από την κινητική ενέργεια της οποίας προκύπτει ένας μετρικός τανυστής γνωστός ως κινητική μετρική. Η παρουσία αυτής της μετρικής είναι καθοριστικής σημασίας, διότι εάν καταφέρει κάποιος να συνδυάσει τις γεωμετρικές συμμετρίες αυτής της μετρικής με τις (άγνωστες εν γένει) τανυστικές ποσότητες που ορίζουν το ΠΟ, τότε καθίσταται δυνατή η χρήση ισχυρών μεθόδων από τη Διαφορική Γεωμετρία στη μελέτη της ολοκληρωσιμότητας των δυναμικών συστημάτων. Αντικείμενο της παρούσας διατριβής είναι να διερευνήσει τη σχέση μεταξύ των συμμετριών της κινητικής μετρικής και των ΠΟ ενός δυναμικού συστήματος, διευκολύνοντας με αυτόν τον τρόπο την επίλυσή του.
Effects of Reactive Capacity on Product Quality and Firm Profitability in an Uncertain Market
Authors: Jiang Baojun , Tian Lin
Published: June 2022

How Reactive Capacity Affects Product Quality and Firm Profitability

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates both supply and demand uncertainties, which have strategically influenced firms’ product quality and targeting decisions. For example, during the pandemic, automakers faced supply shortages for automotive chips because of the upstream suppliers’ limited parts inventory and production capacities, which have prompted the automakers to increase the quality (e.g., producing higher trims with more optional upgrade features) and price of their products to target fewer (high-valuation) consumers. In “Effects of Reactive Capacity on Product Quality and Firm Profitability in an Uncertain Market,” Jiang and Tian study the impacts of the supplier’s reactive capacity and demand uncertainty on product quality and firm profitability under pull contracts in the supply chain. They find that an increase in the supplier’s reactive capacity can lead to higher or lower equilibrium product quality, benefiting the retailer but potentially reducing the supplier’s profit. Interestingly, both the retailer and the supplier can be worse off with a higher probability for the high market state (with more high-valuation consumers). Further, a higher probability for the high market state can lead to lower product quality.
Validating the Need of Social Welfare State in 21St Century
Authors: Shah Dr. Paresh
Published: June 2022

The Indian Economy is under severe pressure for the last ten years. The reduction in demand for goods and services, and at the same time policies of the Government to create demand-driven economy results in the demand for goods being majorly restricted to the necessity and need. The demand for products and services for the improvement of the standard of living is restricted nearly among 70% of the population. The policies of the Government lead the situations towards the suffering by the orphanage, superannuated people, and that results in the productive population (between the age of 19 to 55) suffering a loss. These changes will largely determine and strongly suggest to move towards Social Welfare State, in the nearest years, to maintain the productivity of the country in the longer term. Such Indian cataclysms usually re-shape recently established trends, turning them into socially beneficial levels.
The Impact of Humor on Work Efficiency at Workplace: An Empirical Examination in Tourism and Hospitality Sector in The United Arab Emirates
Authors: Khassawneh Dr. Osama , Mohammad Dr. Tamara
Published: June 2022

Despite the ubiquitous observance of humor at workplace, there is paucity of scholarly attention in terms of the manner in which it affects the behaviour of employees. This study aims to explore the relationship between sense of humor and work efficiency by utilizing the benign violation theory (BVT) to posit that elaborative social information is attributed to in the humor of superiors across organizations. Additionally, the social information processing (SIP) theory was applied for forming the hypotheses. Despite the fact that superiors’ humor is suggested to have a positive correlation with superior-subordinate interchange and as a consequence, work efficiency, it could also point at the norm violation’s tolerability in a workplace environment. These insights, in turn, have a positive correlation with the deviance of subordinates. Furthermore, these indirect impacts are suggested to have been mediated by the violent humor of superiors. Data was sourced from three-wave field that were conducted in United Arab Emirates (UAE). The findings suggest that the humor can evince unexpected negative behavioral patterns.

Authors: Akhter Ireen , Rana Md. Baktiar , Sharif Raihan
Published: June 2022

Stress is now common word and issues for everyone in this pandemic situation regardless of their age and gender. The aim of this paper is to examine the level of work-life stress among managers, because of work demand from job and support provided by the organization to complete the job. The developmental workplace stressors assessment questionnaire has been used for collecting data from 197 working managers who are working with different organizations, through standard Google form between May to August, 2020. The nature of job in some cases are work from home at this COVID situation. For analyzing data, simple descriptive, inferential and bivariate analysis were done. No signification relationships have been found between age and gender with stress. However, correlations have been found moderate to high among some of the factors responsible for creating stress among managers. This study has been done entry to the mid-level management with the selective factors of developmental workplace stressors assessment questionnaire which was not found in earlier research on work-life stress measurement in the context of Bangladesh. Future researchers may explore work-life stress with remaining set of factors (variables) with different set of sample composition.

Authors: Ibelegbu Anthonia Ngozi , Abanyam Friday Ekahe
Published: June 2022

This study ascertained the impact of employees’ relations and training practices of Listed Deposit Money Bank (LDMBs) performance in Adamawa state, Nigeria. A survey research design was employed. The population of the study consisted of 120 employees of the entire 14 branches of LDMBs listed in the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the year 2019. Prior to the study, a sample size that provided a high effect size was ascertained through the use of GPower 3.1 software based on effect size d = 0.8, power (1–b = .95). Hence, 112 employees were studied. A structured questionnaire, with 28 items was developed by the researcher. The questionnaire was structured on a 5-point scale. A pilot study was carried out to predict the power and moderation effect of the variables by conducting a test using mean, independent t-test, and Analysis of Variance statistics. The real limit of the mean values was used to make decisions on the entire item. Independent t-tests and analysis of variance were used for in-depth data analyses. It was concluded that employee relations, training and development practices have a positive impact on the performance of LDMBs in Adamawa State. Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the researchers recommended amongst others that listed deposit banks in Adamawa State should align their human resources management philosophy with a societal culture so as to achieve required corporate results as well as bottom-line performance.
A hermenêutica no pensamento de Filipe Melanchthon
Authors: Cruz Rúbia Campos Guimarães
Published: June 2022

Resumo: Este trabalho tem como foco analisar a questão da hermenêutica no pensamento do autor Filipe Melanchthon (1947-1560). Melanchthon foi um humanista e também um reformador do século XVI. Ele atuou ao lado de Lutero na Reforma Protestante. Este artigo terá como foco analisar como Melanchthon contribuiu para o desenvolvimento da hermenêutica; e qual chave hermenêutica precisamos ter em mente para ler sua importante obra Loci Theologici (Principais tópicos teológicos). Para isso, inicialmente desejamos fazer uma breve introdução acerca da questão da hermenêutica, a partir de Hans-Georg Gadamer (2002); com auxílio de autores que comentaram o seu pensamento como Richard E. Palmer (1969) e Jean Grodin (1999). E ao final iremos analisar a questão da hermenêutica em Melanchthon.
RABECAS E BOIS NA ESCUTA DE TERRITÓRIOS INESPERADOS
Authors: Dozena Alessandro , Padilha Caio
Published: June 2022

O Boi de Reis, Bumba-meu-Boi, Boi de Mamão, Boizinho, Boi Calemba, e mesmo o Cavalo Marinho - que é uma das variações da brincadeira do "Boi de armação" no Brasil - fornecem molduras abrangentes por meio das quais a rabeca ganha sentido de expressão cultural em diferentes territórios. Essas expressões abrigam algumas das interações interétnicas cujas particularidades sonoras e geográficas se misturaram no repertório de canções tocadas, criadas e improvisadas. Os elementos sonoros e territoriais entre bois e rabequeiros - que dançam e cantam, plantam e pastoreiam enquanto tocam seus instrumentos tradicionais - expressam certos territórios sonoros inesperados, ao mesmo tempo em que desafiam nossos modos de escuta mais triviais. O texto objetiva destacar um modo de escuta em que as sonoridades são espacialmente decifradas em termos territoriais, sugerindo novas percepções, novas racionalidades das práticas musicais e identitárias que, distribuídas em territórios sonoros, articulam bois e rabecas em diferentes regiões do Brasil. Se as práticas e os instrumentos musicais se estabeleceram historicamente em conjuntos de territórios, as rabecas instituíram distinções diante das outras práticas sonoras não ligadas aos Bois - tais como os violinos em contextos sinfônicos. E se tais distinções também são percebidas por nossa escuta e intelecto, elas fazem circular significados e valores que fornecem as bases socioculturais para uma relação entre música, território e identidade; entre Bois, rabecas e regionalidades sonoras, que se expressam enquanto linguagem espacial, intrínsecamente conectadas com as sonoridades reminiscentes de seus territórios.
PRIMEIRAS HISTÓRIAS - O MESTRE E A RAPAZIADA: O MOVIMENTO DO CHORO NO RIO DE JANEIRO ATRAVÉS DE UM DOCUMENTÁRIO
Authors: De Andrade Júlia Santos Cossermelli
Published: June 2022

No segundo semestre de 2020 produzi um documentário chamado “Primeiras Histórias: o mestre e a rapaziada”. Ele apresenta uma escola de música que funciona na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Trata-se de uma experiência bastante particular que vem mudando o mapa do choro tanto nesta cidade quanto no mundo. O percurso do documentário foi construir uma investigação com base em depoimentos dos músicos atuantes na escola (professores e alunos) e, a partir deste material etnográfico, construir uma narrativa. A Escola Portátil de Música (EPM) completou vinte anos existência em setembro de 2020. Estima-se que tenham passado por ela cerca de 12.000 alunos desde a sua fundação. Desenhada para atender não apenas aos músicos profissionais, a escola acolhe uma enorme quantidade de amadores. Esses começam a conhecer o choro e formam um público apreciador do gênero que, assim, passam a frequentar rodas, ir aos shows e, muitas vezes, compram os CDs. A pergunta que atravessa o trabalho é como esse saber popular é transmitido de geração para geração na atualidade quando, justamente, os centros urbanos possuem novas dinâmicas. Hoje, com a globalização das técnicas da informação, a circulação do choro ganha novos contornos e propagação pelo planeta. Tudo isso instiga uma investigação geográfica interessada em compreender como a se dá a relação da música na cidade neste período contemporâneo.

Published: June 2022

O presente trabalho é parte da investigação doutoral intitulada: “As Rodas de Samba do Distrito Federal Brasileiro, Patrimônio-Territorial Latinoamericano, Expressão de Resistência Espacial Negra”, defendida na Universidade de Brasília em 2019. Parte do contexto histórico da formação do território do samba no Distrito Federal do Brasil, com o objetivo de identificar suas redes territoriais de sociabilidade e compreender o movimento do samba no território. A partir do contexto histórico investigado, foi possível construir uma periodização do movimento do samba e identificar os principais agentes que compõem as redes territoriais de sociabilidade do samba no distrito federal. Estas redes contribuem para uma valorização e preservação do samba tradicional, autoral e de raiz no distrito federal do brasil. A pesquisa revela que estas redes se fazem como resistência, utopia e luta contra a violência imposta à população trabalhadora e residente, presente nas zonas periféricas sem direitos nem oportunidades para melhoria da qualidade de vida.
MUSIQUE ET TERRITOIRE : CE QUE LA GEOGRAPHIE PEUT EN DIRE, VUE DE FRANCE
Authors: Raibaud Yves
Published: June 2022

Lorsqu‟un géographe s'invite à des débats généralement investis par d‟autres sciences sociales, on lui demande souvent : « Que vient faire la géographie dans cette affaire? ». Il doit alors se justifier en rappelant que la géographie n‟est pas une simple description de la terre mais une science sociale à part entière, traitant de l'espace des sociétés, de la position des hommes dans le monde et des représentations qu'ils s'en font. L‟association musique et territoire en est un exemple : partir du son et de l'environnement sonore comme d‟une source d'information sur l‟espace, envisager la musique et les pratiques musicales comme géo-indicateurs de l‟organisation des lieux, les politiques musicales comme modes de gouvernance etc. permet de construire une connaissance fine des territoires et aide à comprendre la manière dont les humains se les approprient et comment ils les transforment.

IN DUBIO PRO SOCIETATE E A INVERSÃO DO ÔNUS DA PROVA NO PROCESSO PENAL: UM OLHAR A PARTIR DO GARANTISMO
Authors: Carmo Paulo César Oliveira do , Santiago Nestor Eduardo
Published: June 2022

O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar sob o prisma do Garantismo de Ferrajoli, o princípio da presunção do estado de inocência em face do brocardo in dubio pro societate, utilizando o método dedutivo, baseado em referências bibliográficas. É de segurança jurídica a existência de standards probatórios ou critérios de decisão, diante da norma posta no art. 413, caput, do Código de Processo Penal. A utilização do brocardo in dubio pro societate, pode caracterizar em uma inversão do ônus da prova, tornando ineficaz a regra da presunção do estado de inocência e o seu corolário in dubio pro reo.

A (IM)PRESCINDIBILIDADE DA CONFISSÃO PARA A PROPOSITURA DO ACORDO DE NÃO PERSECUÇÃO PENAL
Authors: ZIEHE JULIANA MENESCAL DA SILVA , MADURO FLÁVIO MIRZA
Published: June 2022

O acordo de não persecução penal constitui uma modalidade de justiça negocial, cuja exigência da confissão precisa ser enfrentada. Além de impor uma flexibilização de direitos fundamentais, a confissão representa resquício da cultura inquisitorial. Ademais, diante da conclusão das investigações criminais e havendo elementos suficientes para o oferecimento da denúncia, indaga-se: seria a confissão (im)prescindível para a celebração do ANPP? O trabalho foi estruturado pelo método descritivo e parcialmente exploratório com o objetivo de estudar o ANPP e os desdobramentos que a confissão impõe ao investigado. Ao final foi possível concluir que a exigência da confissão está eivada de inconstitucionalidade.
O ACESSO À JUSTIÇA E A FLEXIBILIZAÇÃO PROCEDIMENTAL JUDICIAL ATÍPICA NO PROCESSO CIVIL BRASILEIRO
Authors: Almeida Leonardo Souza Santana
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo analisa a possibilidade de flexibilização procedimental judicial atípica, à luz do Código de Processo Civil vigente. A sua premissa fundamental é a garantia constitucional do acesso à justiça, a exigir a conformação da estrutura processual a fim de atender às necessidades do direito material e às circunstâncias do caso concreto. Nesse contexto, a possibilidade de ajustes do procedimento em hipóteses não previstas na lei desempenha um papel fundamental para a efetividade do acesso à justiça.
O CAMINHO SUL-AMERICANO: INTEGRAÇÃO SUB-REGIONAL SOB ALBA E UNASUL E RESOLUÇÃO INTERNACIONAL DE CONTROVÉRSIAS
Authors: Gómez Manuel A.
Published: June 2022

Este artigo descreve dois dos mais recentes esforços de integração sub-regional na América do Sul, a ALBA e a UNASUL, incluindo os fatores que contribuíram para o seu desenvolvimento. A análise aqui oferece atenção especial ao papel desempenhado pelo governo venezuelano, especialmente durante o governo do ex-presidente Hugo Chávez, tanto em termos políticos quanto econômicos em direção à ascensão e ao crescimento da ALBA. Este artigo também explica como a forte dependência do apoio da Venezuela foi prejudicial para a ALBA, que foi afetada negativamente pela crise enfrentada pelo país latino-americano. Em contraste com o caso da ALBA, este artigo discute a ascensão da UNASUL como um esforço coletivo e os esforços de seus membros para criar um marco regional que inclui uma nova proposta de um Centro de Solução Consensual de Controvérsias de Investimentos. A metodologia adotada é a de análise qualitativa das informações obtidas em bibliografia específica. Na parte final, conclui-se que os dois esforços mais recentes de integração regional na América Latina, representados pela ALBA e pela UNASUL, foram além dos acordos econômicos tradicionais para um empreendimento mais abrangente, que atende a outras questões sociais e políticas de interesse comum dos Estados membros. No entanto, no caso da ALBA, a dependência excessiva do apoio financeiro e político da Venezuela foi a força motriz por trás dela e também o principal obstáculo para seu desenvolvimento. No caso da UNASUL, a situação parece ser um pouco diferente e a estrutura mais estável. Será necessário esperar o lançamento do Centro de Solução de Controvérsias sobre Investimentos, que se propõe a oferecer uma alternativa ao atual mecanismo patrocinado pelo Banco Mundial para avaliar se o esforço valeu a pena para os estados membros, seus cidadãos e os investidores estrangeiros que fazem negócios com esses estados.
RELEITURA DO DEVIDO PROCESSO LEGAL NA ESFERA ADMINISTRATIVA
Authors: Perlingeiro Ricardo
Published: June 2022

O presente texto discorre sobre o alcance da cláusula constitucional do devido processo legal no direito administrativo brasileiro, lastreando-se na análise das Constituições brasileiras, das Emendas V de 1791 e XIV de 1868 da Constituição dos Estados Unidos da América, do Pacto Internacional relativo aos Direitos Civis e Políticos e dos sistemas europeu e interamericano de direitos humanos. O autor conclui que, tendo a cláusula do devido processo legal (art. 5º LIV da Constituição) sido inspirada no direito constitucional americano, a sua integral implementação no direito brasileiro dependeria de o legislador exercer sua discricionariedade política para adequar a realidade da Administração Pública brasileira à experiência das autoridades quase-independentes que exercem a função de julgar no direito administrativo norte-americano.
Juízo dos órfãos, emancipação e tutelas de ingênuos em Belém (1871-1890)
Authors: Modesto Victor Hugo
Published: June 2022

O presente trabalho analisa o encaminhamento de crianças e menores “ingênuos” por meio da instituição do Juízo dos Órfãos no contexto de emancipação inaugurado com a Lei do Ventre Livre e no pós-abolição. Destacamos a figura do Curador Geral de Órfãos e suas opiniões em pareceres sobre as petições de tutela de “ingênuos”, que em fins da década de 1870 e principalmente no início de 1880 tiveram um crescimento gradativo em todo o Império brasileiro, com seu ápice em 1888 com a abolição. Argumentamos que os agentes do Juízo dos Órfãos foram centrais no encaminhamento dessas crianças ingênuas, seja por vias legais ou não, e na própria execução da Lei de 1871.

Long-term outcomes of primary total knee arthroplasty in patients with hepatitis B virus infection
Authors: Baek Ji-Hoon , Lee Su C. , Ryu Suengryol , Kim Jin-Woo , Nam Chang H.
Published: June 2022

Aims

The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes, mortalities, implant survival rates, and complications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with or without hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection over at least ten years of follow-up.

Methods

From January 2008 to December 2010, 266 TKAs were performed in 169 patients with HBV (HBV group). A total of 169 propensity score–matched patients without HBV were chosen for the control group in a one-to-one ratio. Then, the clinical outcomes, mortalities, implant survival rates, and complications of TKA in the two groups were compared. The mean follow-up periods were 11.7 years (10.5 to 13.4) in the HBV group and 11.8 years (11.5 to 12.4) in the control group.

Results

The mean Knee Society scores in the HBV and control groups improved from 37.1 (SD 5.6) and 38.4 (SD 5.4) points preoperatively to 78.1 (SD 10.8) and 81.7 (SD 10.2) points at final follow-up (p = 0.314), while the mean function scores in the HBV and control groups improved from 36.2 and 37.3 points preoperatively to 77.8 and 83.2 points at final follow-up (p = 0.137). Nine knees in the HBV group required revision surgery, including seven due to septic loosening and two due to aseptic loosening. Four knees in the control group required revision surgery, including three due to septic loosening and one due to aseptic loosening. Kaplan–Meier survivorship analysis with the revision of either component as an endpoint in the HBV and control groups estimated 96.6% and 98.5% chances of survival for ten years, respectively (p = 0.160).

Conclusion

TKA in patients with HBV infection resulted in good clinical outcomes and survivorship. However, there was a higher revision rate over a minimum ten-year follow-up period compared to TKA in patients without HBV infection. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2022;3(6):470–474.
Annotation-free delineation of prokaryotic homology groups
Authors: Yin Yongze , Ogilvie Huw A. , Nakhleh Luay
Published: June 2022

Phylogenomic studies of prokaryotic taxa often assume conserved marker genes are homologous across their length. However, processes such as horizontal gene transfer or gene duplication and loss may disrupt this homology by recombining only parts of genes, causing gene fission or fusion. We show using simulation that it is necessary to delineate homology groups in a set of bacterial genomes without relying on gene annotations to define the boundaries of homologous regions. To solve this problem, we have developed a graph-based algorithm to partition a set of bacterial genomes into Maximal Homologous Groups of sequences (MHGs) where each MHG is a maximal set of maximum-length sequences which are homologous across the entire sequence alignment. We applied our algorithm to a dataset of 19 Enterobacteriaceae species and found that MHGs cover much greater proportions of genomes than markers and, relatedly, are less biased in terms of the functions of the genes they cover. We zoomed in on the correlation between each individual marker and their overlapping MHGs, and show that few phylogenetic splits supported by the markers are supported by the MHGs while many marker-supported splits are contradicted by the MHGs. A comparison of the species tree inferred from marker genes with the species tree inferred from MHGs suggests that the increased bias and lack of genome coverage by markers causes incorrect inferences as to the overall relationship between bacterial taxa.

The inflammatory response to joint injury has been thought to play a key role in the development of osteoarthritis. In this preclinical study, we hypothesized that synovial fluid presence of inflammatory cytokines, as well as altered loading on the injured leg, would be associated with greater development of macroscopic cartilage damage after an ACL injury. Thirty-six Yucatan minipigs underwent ACL transection and were randomized to: 1) no further treatment, 2) ACL reconstruction, or 3) scaffold-enhanced ACL restoration. Synovial fluid samples and gait data were obtained pre-operatively and at multiple time points post-operatively. Cytokine levels were measured using a multiplex assay. Macroscopic cartilage assessments were performed following euthanasia at 52 weeks. General estimating equation modeling found the presence of IL-1α, IL-1RA, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-10 and MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-12, and MMP-13 in the synovial fluid was associated with better cartilage outcomes. Higher peak pressure for the surgical hind leg and contralateral hind leg aligned with worse cartilage outcomes. A support vector machine built with synovial fluid and gait metrics also demonstrated cytokine presence was predictive of better cartilage outcomes. In conclusion, this preclinical analysis suggests that synovial fluid devoid of cytokines may be a possible indicator that cartilage is more at risk of becoming pathologic after joint injury.

Proper respiratory tract protection is the key factor to limiting the rate of COVID-19 spread and providing a safe environment for health care workers. Traditional N95 (FFP2) respirators are not easy to regenerate and thus create certain financial and ecological burdens; moreover, their quality may vary significantly. A solution that would overcome these disadvantages is desirable. In this study a commercially available knit polyester fleece fabric was selected as the filter material, and a total of 25 filters of different areas and thicknesses were prepared. Then, the size-resolved filtration efficiency (40–400 nm) and pressure drop were evaluated at a volumetric flow rate of 95 L/min. We showed the excellent synergistic effect of expanding the filtration area and increasing the number of filtering layers on the filtration efficiency; a filter cartridge with 8 layers of knit polyester fabric with a surface area of 900 cm2 and sized 25 × 14 × 8 cm achieved filtration efficiencies of 98% at 95 L/min and 99.5% at 30 L/min. The assembled filter kit consists of a filter cartridge (14 Pa) carried in a small backpack connected to a half mask with a total pressure drop of 84 Pa at 95 L/min. In addition, it is reusable, and the filter material can be regenerated at least ten times by simple methods, such as boiling. We have demonstrated a novel approach for creating high-quality and easy-to-breathe-through respiratory protective equipment that reduces operating costs and is a green solution because it is easy to regenerate.
Landscape connectivity among coastal giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) populations shows no association with land use, fire frequency, or river drainage but exhibits genetic signatures of potential conservation concern

Determining the genetic consequences of both historical and contemporary events can clarify the effects of the environment on population connectivity and inform conservation decisions. Historical events (like glaciations) and contemporary factors (like logging) can disrupt gene flow between populations. This is especially true among species with specialized ecological requirements and low dispersal ability, like amphibians. We test for the genetic consequences of historical and contemporary disturbances in the coastal giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. We consider predictions based on the contemporary landscape (habitat connectivity, logging, forest fires, and topography), in addition to relatively ancient post-Pleistocene range expansion (following the last glacial retreat). To assess local versus larger-scale effects, we sampled 318 individuals across 23 sites, which were clustered in five sampling regions. Genetic variation was assessed using five microsatellite markers. We found evidence of (i) historical regional isolation, with decreased genetic diversity among more recently colonized northern sites, as well as (ii) high levels of inbreeding and loss of heterozygosity at local scales, despite relatively low overall population differentiation (FST) or strong evidence for population bottlenecks. Genetic diversity was not associated with contemporary disturbances (logging or fire), and there were no detectable effects on the genetic connectivity of populations based on intervening landscape features (habitat fragmentation and topography). However, lower genetic diversity in more northern regions indicates a lag in recovery of genetic diversity following post-Pleistocene expansion. Additionally, some populations had evidence of having undergone a recent genetic bottleneck or had high inbreeding (FIS) values. Lower genetic diversity in more northern sites means populations may be more vulnerable to future environmental changes, and managing for connectivity alone may not be sufficient given low mobility. Recent apparent reductions in some populations were not clearly linked to anthropogenic disturbances we examined. This suggests the type of disturbances this species is sensitive to may not be well understood.

Published: June 2022

Digital technologies empower users to manage their health and reduce the burden on the public health system. The mass adoption of wearable medical devices (WMDs) promotes the ageing population’s confidence besides facilitating users. Thus, the current study aims to empirically evaluate the formation of perceived product value (PPV) with the WMDs’ computability, usefulness, cost, and accuracy, the intention to use WMDs influenced by health consciousness (HCS), health anxiety (HAY), product value, and perceived critical mass (PCM), and later the adoption of WMDs among Chinese adults. The study examined the mediating effect of PPV on the relationship between the intention to use WMDs and perceived compatibility (PCT), perceived cost (PCO), perceived usefulness (PUS), and perceived technology accuracy (PTA). This study adopted a cross-sectional approach and used an online survey to collect quantitative data from 1,160 Chinese adults. Data analysis was performed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Results showed that PCT, PUS, and PTA significant positive effect on PPV. Meanwhile, HCS, PCM, and PPV has a significant positive effect on intention to use WMDs, and the intention to use WMDs and PCM influenced the adoption of WMDs. Consequently, the analysis confirmed that PPV mediated the relationships between the intention to use WMD and PCT, PUS, and PTA. The WMD cost must be reduced to enhance the value of WMDs. Finally, the study’s implications, limitations, and suggestions for future studies are discussed.
Las máximas de la experiencia como generalizaciones empíricas: notas sobre sus implicancias argumentativas en materia jurisdiccional
Authors: Beltrán Calfurrapa Ramón
Published: June 2022

Sabido es que las máximas de la experiencia se presentan como un recurso ineludible en la determinación de las aserciones fácticas verificadas en juicio. Sin embargo, que el juez deba recurrir a ciertos enunciados comunes y generales de lo que comúnmente acontece, no implica que aquél pueda sustentar su valoración en base a meras consideraciones personales, subjetivas e intuitivas, ni mucho menos que pueda prescindir del deber de motivación en pos de racionalizar su correcto uso. Por tal motivo, tomando en consideración su discutido nivel de fiabilidad, así como los controvertidos aspectos lingüísticos y epistémicos, el presente artículo tiene por finalidad inquirir dos aspectos fundamentales en relación con las máximas de la experiencia: por un lado, enjuiciar críticamente la noción antes aludida y proponer su tratamiento en el seno de las denominadas generalizaciones empíricas y, por otro lado, determinar cómo y de qué forma a partir de dicha categorización aquéllas podrían ser justificadas en aras de favorecer su control jurisdiccional.
¿Es posible una Inteligencia artificial respetuosa con la protección de datos?
Authors: Fernández-Aller Celia , Serrano Pérez María Mercedes
Published: June 2022

La Inteligencia artificial es un reto clave en la cuarta revolución industrial que vivimos. El artículo pretende analizar la compatibilidad de ésta con el derecho a la protección de datos. Para ello se analizan los principios que subyacen a la regulación y se estudia el encaje de las características de la tecnología en los mismos. Se destacan los principales derechos de los sujetos, así como las obligaciones de los responsables de los tratamientos. Especial atención se presta a la discriminación algorítmica en el caso de los perfiles y el marketing político, que supone un reto a evitar por su vulneración del principio de igualdad y justicia en el tratamiento de la información personal. Resulta esencial salvaguardar el derecho a la explicabilidad algorítmica. Se concluye con un análisis de la necesaria regulación que está en fase de discusión en Europa.
Principios formales y sentido común jurídico. Sobre la presunción de constitucionalidad de la ley
Authors: Lozada Alí
Published: June 2022

Este trabajo intenta responder a la pregunta de cuál es el lugar –si acaso hay alguno– que el sentido común de los juristas ocupa en la teoría alexyana de los principios formales, particularmente, respecto de la presunción de constitucionalidad de la ley. La respuesta es que (i) la teoría de Alexy capta los aspectos nucleares de ese sentido común, inclusive (ii) contribuye a refinar algunos aspectos del mismo, sin embargo, (iii) todo lo anterior se oscurece si en el análisis se incluye a la fórmula del peso interpretándola como el reflejo exacto de la teoría alexyana.
La exigencia de completitud de los sistemas jurídicos en Alchourrón y Bulygin: Una crítica
Authors: Rodríguez Santiago
Published: June 2022

Alchourrón y Bulygin (en adelante AyB) afirman que la exigencia de completitud de los sistemas jurídicos es un ideal puramente racional, es decir, que tiene un fundamento ‘puramente racional’ y es independiente de posiciones políticas y de filosofía del derecho. Para defender esta tesis, AyB señalan que el ideal de completitud es una consecuencia del Principio de Razón Suficiente. En el trabajo sostengo, en primer lugar, que la exigencia de completitud no es consecuencia del Principio de Razón Suficiente. En segundo lugar, argumento que existe una premisa propia de la filosofía del derecho que es necesaria para llegar a la exigencia de completitud como conclusión y, por lo tanto, que el ideal de completitud no es un ideal puramente racional. Finalmente, propongo una interpretación alternativa del argumento de AyB y concluyo que tampoco logra sortear las objeciones a las que se enfrenta.
Sobre «La tiranía del mérito»
Authors: Villar Antonio
Published: June 2022

Este trabajo tiene por objeto la discusión de algunas de las ideas contenidas en el reciente libro de M. Sandel «La Tiranía del Mérito». El autor plantea de forma articulada y convincente algunas de las implicaciones indeseables de la aplicación del principio del mérito en el proceso de selección social, especialmente centrado en la educación superior. El texto ofrece una visión de la realidad muy estrecha, centrada en la sociedad americana y carece de respuestas a los problemas que plantea. El discurso es de naturaleza moralista, falto de matices y profundamente conservador.
Los problemas epistemológicos de las reglas genuinas en «Positivismo jurídico ‘interno’» de María Cristina Redondo
Authors: Lojo Alba
Published: June 2022

En el presente trabajo analizo la propuesta de reglas «genuinas» que Redondo presenta en el capítulo segundo de su obra Positivismo jurídico ‘interno’. En primer lugar, examino las condiciones de adecuación que las reglas «genuinas» deben cumplir y las interpreto a la luz de la cláusula That’s it de Holton. En segundo lugar, defiendo que esta reinterpretación permite confirmar la respuesta que Redondo ofrece a lo que llama «la objeción epistémica» contra las reglas genuinas. En tercer lugar, presento la paradoja del seguimiento de reglas de Wittgenstein y el problema epistémico que supone para la teoría de Redondo. Por último, sugiero que la interpretación de García-Carpintero de la teoría del significado de Wittgenstein puede ser una solución compatible con el concepto de reglas «genuinas» de Redondo.

IMMORTAL HUMAN: TINDAKAN MANUSIA UNTUK ABADI DALAM PANDANGAN MUHAMMAD IQBAL
Authors: Bustomi Imam
Published: June 2022

This study aims to find the concept of immortality in Iqbal's view by making it relevant to human action in the world. Human action that leads to morality is needed to provide awareness that human perfection can only be achieved by maximizing actions in accordance with the enhancement of his self-concept. To achieve this goal, this study uses qualitative methods with the type of literature study. As an analysis tool, this study uses content analysis techniques. Based on the data generated, this study found that conscious and free human action is the key for humans to achieve perfection. The resulting perfection can lead humans to immortality by absorbing the surrounding reality, including the absorption of the great ego of the Most Perfect. The offer of perfection given by Iqbal reconstructs the concept of timelessness in the views of classical Islamic thinkers that lead to life after death. Eternal in Iqbal's view does not refer to a place but to a state so that Heaven and Hell which are considered places of eternity are conditions related to the process of human attainment towards immortality.

Nomenclatural notes on species of the genus Arenaria (Caryophyllaceae) in Chile
Authors: Iamonico Duilio
Published: June 2022

A nomenclatural study of the Arenaria names referring to the species found in Chile is presented. Three names, A. fastigiata, A. multicaulis, and A. scopulorum, are illegitimate (Arts. 53.1 and 52.1 of ICN); a new name is proposed for A. fastigiata and A. multicaulis; A. scopulorum was also nomenclaturally superfluous including the type of A. digyna (Art. 52.1 of the ICN). Arenaria digyna, A. microphylla, A. oligosperma, A. pleurantha, and A. rivularis are lectotypified, based on specimens preserved at E, HAL, K, P, and SGO (isolectotypes at B, K, P, and SGO). One epitype (at SI) was designated for A. rivularis.
