Tensión hacia Dios y el sentido simbólico de los nombres divinos en Dionisio Areopagita
Authors: Caram Gabriela De los Ángeles
Published: October 2019

Los nombres divinos versa sobre los diversos nombres y expresiones metafóricas con que la Biblia denomina a Dios. Dionisio Areopagita desarrolla allí una teología “positiva”, en tanto que argumentativa y explicitadora, utilizando el texto sagrado como fuente de conocimiento y verdad, en contraposición con la inexpresabilidad manifiesta de lo divino propia de una teología eminentemente apofática. En efecto, ante la inefabilidad de lo divino, el Areopagita se remite al estudio de los términos bíblicos y acuña los hápax, neologismos y vocablos con prefijo privativo, con el objeto de referirse de algún modo a lo sagrado. La presente investigación quiere mostrar que el objetivo del conocimiento de Dios en las reflexiones de Dionisio, a la vez que la comprensión del orden de las distintas esferas del ser –presente también en otras obras del Corpus Dionysiacum–, apunta a una unión con Él en una experiencia de hénosis y de vida en tensión permanente hacia lo Supremo. El artículo se enfoca en el estudio de las denominaciones de Dios, esto es, en una labor exegética de las diversas manifestaciones simbólicas que Dionisio acoge en su obra, con el propósito de aclarar el sentido de la eutonía o tensión hacia Dios presente en el pensamiento del teólogo bizantino.
Vida buena, vulnerabilidad y emociones: la relevancia ética de los acontecimientos incontrolados desde la perspectiva de Martha Nussbaum
Authors: Pinedo Cantillo Iván Alfonso
Published: October 2019

La noción de vulnerabilidad es una de las comprensiones teóricas más originales que atraviesa el proyecto filosófico de Martha Nussbaum. Inspirada en Aristóteles y en una relectura de las tragedias griegas, la filósofa norteamericana recupera un aspecto importante para la reflexión ética y política contemporánea: nuestra continua exposición a situaciones inesperadas, mudables o contingentes de la fortuna que pueden afectar considerablemente nuestra búsqueda de la vida buena, y las emociones altruistas como respuesta a esa esencial fragilidad que nos conforma. En este artículo se ofrece una reconstrucción de la idea de agente moral vulnerable como reflexión clave que permite articular en el pensamiento de la autora diversas concepciones sobre justicia social, dignidad humana y calidad de vida, con intuiciones acerca del cultivo y refinamiento de ciertas emociones morales que son relevantes para contrarrestar la frecuente incapacidad para ver al “otro diferente” como alguien plenamente humano.
Influence of Grain Size Distribution on Ductile Intergranular Crack Growth Resistance
Authors: Molkeri Abhilash , Srivastava Ankit , Osovski Shmuel , Needleman Alan
Published: October 2019

The influence of grain size distribution on ductile intergranular crack growth resistance is investigated using full-field microstructure-based finite element calculations and a simpler model based on discrete unit events and graph search. The finite element calculations are carried out for a plane strain slice with planar grains subjected to mode I small-scale yielding conditions. The finite element formulation accounts for finite deformations, and the constitutive relation models the loss of stress carrying capacity due to progressive void nucleation, growth, and coalescence. The discrete unit events are characterized by a set of finite element calculations for crack growth at a single-grain boundary junction. A directed graph of the connectivity of grain boundary junctions and the distances between them is used to create a directed graph in J-resistance space. For a specified grain boundary distribution, this enables crack growth resistance curves to be calculated for all possible crack paths. Crack growth resistance curves are calculated based on various path choice criteria and compared with the results of full-field finite element calculations of the initial boundary value problem. The effect of unimodal and bimodal grain size distributions on intergranular crack growth is considered. It is found that a significant increase in crack growth resistance is obtained if the difference in grain sizes in the bimodal grain size distribution is sufficiently large.
An Operation Data-Based Method for the Diagnosis of Zero-Point Shift of Wind Turbines Yaw Angle
Authors: Astolfi Davide , Castellani Francesco , Terzi Ludovico
Published: October 2019

The alignment of the wind turbine yaw to the wind direction is an important topic for wind turbine technology by several points of view. For example, the negative impact on power production of an undesired non-optimal yaw alignment can be impressive. The diagnosis of zero-point shifting of the yaw angle is commonly performed by adopting supplementary measurement sources, as for example, light detection and ranging (LIDAR) anemometers. The drawback is that these measurement campaigns have a certain cost against an uncertain diagnosis outcome. There is therefore an increasing interest from wind turbine practitioners in the formulation of zero-point yaw angle shift diagnosis techniques through the use of nacelle anemometer data. This work is devoted to this task and is organized as a test case discussion: a wind farm featuring six multi-megawatt wind turbines is considered. The study of the power factor Cp as function of the yaw error (estimated through nacelle anemometer data) is addressed. The proposed method has been validated through the detection of a 8 deg zero-point shift of the yaw angle of one wind turbine in the test case wind farm. After the correction of this offset, the performance of the wind turbine of interest is shown to be comparable with the nominal. The results of this work therefore support that an appropriate analysis of nacelle anemometer and operation data can be effective for the diagnosis of zero-point shift of the yaw angle of wind turbines.
Passive monitoring of nonlinear relaxation of cracked polymer concrete samples using acoustic emission
Authors: Yu Xiaoyang , Bentahar Mourad , Mechri Charfeddine , Montrésor Silvio
Published: October 2019

This work presents an acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of slow dynamics in micro-cracked polymer concrete (PC) samples. In order to obtain calibrated damage states, AE was first used to characterize the micro-damage mechanisms in real time when PC samples are submitted to three-point bending tests. Then, an unsupervised classification of AE data based on the Principle Component Analysis and the k-means clustering was applied to classify AE data. The AE monitoring of the nonlinear relaxation of PC samples revealed the existence of a silence period followed by AE hits belonging to two different damage classes. A similarity appeared between the properties of the detected AE hits obtained during the nonlinear relaxation and the quasi-static tests. Finally, this work shows that the dynamics of both mechanisms during the nonlinear relaxation are clearly different.

C Motifs in Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus ORF66 Are Required for Viral Late Gene Expression and Are Essential for Its Interaction with ORF34
Authors: Didychuk Allison L. , Castañeda Angelica F. , Kushnir Lola O. , Huang Carolyn J. , Glaunsinger Britt A.
Published: October 2019

Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV; human herpesvirus 8) is an oncogenic gammaherpesvirus that is the causative agent of multiple human cancers. The release of infectious virions requires the production of capsid proteins and other late genes, whose production is transcriptionally controlled by a complex of six virally encoded proteins that hijack the host transcription machinery. It is poorly understood how this complex assembles or what function five of its six components play in transcription. Here, we demonstrate that ORF66 is an essential component of this complex in KSHV and that its inclusion in the complex depends upon its C-terminal domain, which contains highly conserved cysteine-rich motifs reminiscent of zinc finger motifs. Additionally, we examined the assembly of the viral preinitiation complex at late gene promoters and found that while sequence-specific binding of late gene promoters requires ORF24, it additionally requires a fully assembled viral preinitiation complex.

Palliative care within universal health coverage: the Malawi Patient-and-Carer Cancer Cost Survey
Authors: Bates Maya Jane , Namisango Eve , Tomeny Ewan , Muula Adamson , Squire S Bertel , Niessen Louis
Published: October 2019

Objective

Evidence of the role of palliative care to reduce financial hardship and to support wellbeing in low/middle-income countries (LMIC) is growing, though standardised tools to capture relevant economic data are limited. We describe the development of the Patient-and-Carer Cancer Cost Survey (PaCCCt survey) which can be used to gather data on healthcare use and out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE) in households affected by cancer in LMIC.

Methods

To identify relevant content qualitative data were gathered using Photovoice to detail concepts of wellbeing and cost areas of importance in households receiving palliative care in Blantyre, Malawi. Existing approaches and tools used to capture OOPE were mapped through a review of the literature. The WHO tuberculosis patient cost survey was chosen for adaptation. Face and content validity of a zero-draft of the PaCCCt survey were developed through review by healthcare professionals and a national stakeholder group. The final survey was translated into local language (Chichewa) and piloted.

Results

The PaCCCt survey is a tablet-based, third-party administered survey recording healthcare service utilisation and related direct and indirect costs. Coping strategies (loans and dissaving and so on), funeral costs and wellbeing at household level are included. Completion time is <30 min.

Conclusion

The PaCCCt survey can be used as part of economic evaluations in populations in need of palliative care in LMIC. Such evidence can support calls for the inclusion of palliative care within Universal Health Coverage which requires end-user protection from financial hardship.

A completely developed and vigorous root system can provide a stable platform for aboveground plant organs. To identify loci controlling root traits that could be used in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding, 199 recombinant inbred lines were used to measure and analyze eight root traits. A total of 18 quantitative trait loci (QTL) located on chromosomes 1A, 2A, 2B, 2D, 4B, 4D, 6A, 7A, and 7B were identified. The phenotypic variation explained by these 18 QTL ranged from 3.27% to 11.75%, and the logarithm of odds scores ranged from 2.50 to 6.58. A comparison of physical intervals indicated several new QTL for root traits were identified. In addition, significant correlations between root and agronomic traits were detected and discussed. The results presented in this study, along with those of previous reports, suggest that chromosomes 2 and 7 likely play important roles in the growth and development of wheat roots.

Published: October 2019

In this study, performance properties of polymer‐modified asphalt (PMA) binders are evaluated depending on ground tire rubber (GTR) and styrene‐isoprene‐styrene (SIS). Styrene‐butadiene‐styrene‐ (SBS‐) modified asphalt binder of PG 76‐22 is used as a base binder to manufacture the rubberized PMA binder. The rubberized PMA binders are blended using SIS modifier. The binders were artificially short‐term and long‐term aged using rolling thin‐film oven (RTFO) and pressure aging vessel (PAV) procedures. Superpave binder tests were conducted on the binders through rotational viscometer (RV), dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), and bending beam rheometer (BBR). Furthermore, multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) test and atomic force microscopy (AFM) microstructural analysis were performed. The results of this study indicated that (1) the viscosity properties seem to be highly dependent on GTR and SIS contents, (2) the addition of SIS is observed to have a significant effect on improving the rutting performances of rubberized PMA binders, (3) the cracking properties are considered to be improved significantly through SIS modification, and (4) in general, the rubberized PMA binders with SIS showed the best performance for rutting and cracking among all the binders used in this study.

Published: October 2019

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm arising from mature histiocytes and most commonly characterized by the immunophenotypic expression of CD68, CD163, or lysozyme. Although rare, HS arising as a second primary malignancy following hematolymphoid neoplasms has been reported. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of HS occurring as a second primary malignancy in a patient with mycosis fungoides (MF), with the retained immunophenotype markers CD30 and CD4.
Integrating Bacterial Identification and Susceptibility Testing: A Simple and Rapid Approach to Reduce the Turnaround Time in the Management of Blood Cultures
Authors: Pereira Dariane C. , Goldani Luciano Z.
Published: October 2019

We evaluated a rapid bacterial identification (rID) and a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion (rAST) from positive blood culture to overcome the limitations of the conventional methods and reduce the turnaround time in bloodstream infection diagnostics. The study included hemocultures flagged as positive by bacT/ALERT®, identification by MALDI-TOF MS, and rAST. The results were compared to identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results by current standard methods, after 24 h incubation. For rAST categorical agreement (CA), very major errors (VME), major errors (ME), and minor errors (mE) were calculated. A total of 524 bacterial samples isolated from blood cultures were obtained, including 246 Gram-negative (GN) and 278 Gram-positive (GP) aerobes. The overall concordance of rID was 88.6%, and it was highest among GN (96%). A total of 2196 and 1476 antimicrobial agent comparisons were obtained for GN and GP, respectively. Evaluation of rAST, CA, VME, ME, and mE disclosed 97.7, 0.7, 0.5, and 1.1% for GN and 98.0, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.8% for GP, respectively. Meropenem CA, VME, and ME were 98.3, 0.5, and 0.5%, respectively; mE was not observed. Oxacillin CA, ME, and mE were 97.4, 1.6, and 0.6%, respectively; VME was not observed. Overall, kappa scores of the results of the comparisons demonstrated the high agreement between rAST and the standard method. Identification and AST of aerobic bacteria from positive blood cultures after a short period of incubation on solid blood agar is a fast and reliable method that may improve the management of bloodstream infections.
Median-Difference Correntropy for DOA under the Impulsive Noise Environment
Authors: Ma Fuqiang , He Jie , Zhang Xiaotong
Published: October 2019

The source localization using direction of arrival (DOA) of target is an important research in the field of Internet of Things (IoTs). However, correntropy suffers the performance degradation for direction of arrival when the two signals contain the similar impulsive noise, which cannot be detected by the difference between two signals. This paper proposes a new correntropy, called the median-difference correntropy, which combines the generalized correntropy and the median difference. The median difference is defined as the deviation between the sampling value and the median of the signal, and it intuitively reflects the abnormality of impulsive noise. Then, the median difference is combined with the generalized correntropy to form a new weighting factor that can effectively suppress the amplitude level of impulsive noise. To improve the robustness of the algorithm, an adaptive kernel size is also integrated into the weighting factor to obtain the optimal local feature. The influence of adaptive kernel sizes on the proposed algorithm is simulated, and the comparison between three typical direction-of-arrival estimation algorithms is conducted. The results show that the accuracy of the median-difference correntropy is significantly superior to the correntropy-based correlation and the phased fractional lower-order moment for a wide range of alpha-stable distribution noise environments.
Unusual Presentation of Recurrent Gallstone Ileus: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Osagiede Osayande , Pacurari Paula , Colibaseanu Dorin , Jrebi Nezar
Published: October 2019

Background. Gallstone ileus (GSI) is a rare form of small bowel obstruction (SBO) in patients with cholelithiasis, which is often poorly managed. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) with contrast is considered the most helpful diagnostic tool, as it is highly sensitive, specific, and accurate. We report an interesting case of recurrent GSI that was not detected by CT but diagnosed intraoperatively. Case Presentation. A 49-year-old female with a previous history of choledocholithiasis and ERCP presented to the emergency department following episodes of sudden cramping, epigastric pain, and nausea. An abdominal CT revealed evidence of SBO with clear evidence of GSI and a cholecystoduodenal fistula. Laparoscopic exploration of the small bowel revealed a large, calcified 3.5 cm × 3 cm gallstone with evidence of pressure necrosis; segmental bowel resection with stapled anastomosis was performed and patient recovered appropriately after surgery. Cholecystectomy was not performed due to multiple co-morbidities and absence of gallbladder stones. However, she presented two months later with signs and symptoms of SBO. A repeat abdominal CT showed dilated bowel with no clear transition point. This was suspected to be due to adhesions. After an initial conservative treatment which produced mild improvement, laparotomy was performed which revealed a second large non-calcified gallstone and necrotic small bowel with a pocket of abscess. Conclusion. The most sensitive diagnostic tool for GSI is enhanced abdominal CT but dilemma arises when GSI is not detected on CT. A high index of suspicion and further exploration are required in order not to miss other vital findings.
Risikofaktoren für die Diagnoseverzögerung bei idiopathischer Lungenfibrose vermeiden
Authors: Drakopanagiotakis Fotios , Günther Andreas
Published: October 2019

Background: Surveys and retrospective studies of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have shown a significant diagnostic delay. However, the causes and risk factors for this delay are not known. Methods: Dates at six time points before the IPF diagnosis (onset of symptoms, first contact to a general practitioner, first hospital contact, referral to an interstitial lung disease (ILD) centre, first visit at an ILD centre, and final diagnosis) were recorded in a multicentre cohort of 204 incident IPF patients. Based on these dates, the delay was divided into specific patient-related and healthcare-related delays. Demographic and clinical data were used to determine risk factors for a prolonged delay, using multivariate negative binomial regression analysis. Results: The median diagnostic delay was 2.1 years (IQR: 0.9-5.0), mainly attributable to the patients, general practitioners and community hospitals. Male sex was a risk factor for patient delay (IRR: 3.84, 95% CI: 1.17-11.36, p = 0.006) and old age was a risk factor for healthcare delay (IRR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06, p = 0.004). The total delay was prolonged in previous users of inhalation therapy (IRR: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.40-2.88, p < 0.0001) but not in patients with airway obstruction. Misdiagnosis of respiratory symptoms was reported by 41% of all patients. Conclusion: Despite increased awareness of IPF, the diagnostic delay is still 2.1 years. Male sex, older age and treatment attempts for alternative diagnoses are risk factors for a delayed diagnosis of IPF. Efforts to reduce the diagnostic delay should focus on these risk factors.
Aktueller Stand der klinischen Praxis der Langzeitversorgung bei chronischer Ateminsuffizienz
Authors: Schwarz Esther I. , Bloch Konrad E.
Published: October 2019

Die maschinelle Beatmung im heimischen Setting (Heimbeatmung) ist eine wirksame Langzeitmaßnahme bei chronischer hyperkapnischer Ateminsuffizienz. Neben der etablierten Praxis zur Anwendung der Heimbeatmung bei chronischer Ateminsuffizienz im Rahmen langsam fortschreitender neuromuskulärer und thorakal-skelettaler Erkrankungen wächst auch die Evidenzbasis für die Steigerung der Lebensqualität und Lebensverlängerung durch Heimbeatmung bei Krankheitsbildern mit hoher Prävalenz wie z. B. bei chronisch-obstruktiver Lungenerkrankung, dem zunehmend prävalenten Obesitas-Hypoventilationssyndrom oder auch schnell progredierenden neuromuskulären Erkrankungen. Erfolgsentscheidend für die Heimbeatmung ist, dass ein erfahrenes Team die richtigen Patienten auswählt, die richtige Beatmungsmaßnahme mit dem richtigen Zugang frühzeitig einleitet und die Wirksamkeit langfristig regelmäßig überwacht. Unerlässlich sind hierfür auch die Schulung der Patienten mit chronischer Ateminsuffizienz in Bezug auf die Langzeit-Heimbeatmung in einer speziellen Einrichtung sowie die Zusammenarbeit mit Home-Care-Anbietern am Wohnort des Patienten. Die vorliegende Übersichtsarbeit beschreibt verschiedene wichtige Aspekte der Heimbeatmung, bei denen noch Entwicklungsbedarf bei der Umsetzung des gegenwärtigen Wissensstandes in die klinische Praxis besteht, damit letztlich alle Patienten mit entsprechendem Bedarf eine wirksame Heimbeatmung erhalten.
Classe política e crise da democracia na crítica de Antonio Gramsci
Authors: Bianchi Alvaro
Published: October 2019

No início dos anos 1880 um novo gênero de literatura política começou a ganhar vigor e a expandir-se, a análise crítica das democracias parlamentares existentes. Na Itália, esse gênero teve uma importante expressão na obra de Gaetano Mosca. Antonio Gramsci confrontará essa literatura, preocupado com sua reapropriação e revalorização no debate político a partir do imediato pré-guerra, quando a crise da democracia liberal assumiu contornos mais fortes. O artigo mostra como Gramsci traduz o conceito mosquiano de classe política como “a categoria intelectual do grupo social dominante” e integra-o à sua reflexão sobre os partidos políticos. Desse modo pode interpretar a crise do regime parlamentar como uma crise marcada pela decomposição dessa “categoria intelectual” e pela perda de sua capacidade dirigente. Aquilo que na teoria elitista aparecia como decomposição do princípio de autoridade era interpretada como uma crise de hegemonia, crise do Estado em seu conjunto, da qual o afastamento entre governantes e governados seria a manifestação mais evidente. Na seção conclusiva, apresenta-se a hipótese aventada nos Quaderni del carcere de um regime representativo não parlamentar.
A questão política dos intelectuais: Balzac nos Quaderni
Authors: Areco Sabrina
Published: October 2019

A proposta deste artigo é discutir a análise de Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) sobre Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850). A figura e a obra de Balzac emergiram, sobretudo no q 3, escrito entre maio e outubro de 1930, como capazes de articular dois elementos centrais da reflexão de Gramsci: a noção de intelectual, em sua relação direta com a ideia de hegemonia; e a problematização acerca da literatura nacional-popular. A hipótese é que o tratamento de Balzac como intelectual permite que se explorem as relações entre autor e obra, literatura e política, vinculadas à construção da noção de nacional-popular em Gramsci.
Il biennio nero: fascismo, antifascismo e violência política
Authors: Galastri Leandro
Published: October 2019

Logo após a experiência operária das lutas do chamado Biennio rosso (Biênio vermelho) na Itália entre 1919 e 1920, surgiram várias organizações armadas de ex-combatentes da Grande Guerra, trabalhadores e trabalhadoras com o objetivo de resistir às violentas incursões dos esquadrões fascistas contra os setores populares tanto na cidade quanto do campo. O Biennio nero (1921-1922), que marcaria a ascensão fascista até a Marcha sobre Roma e a chegada ao poder de Benito Mussolini, conheceria, no entanto, alguns episódios de vitória popular em armas contra o fascismo num ambiente de guerra civil. A organização protagonista dessa resistência operária armada pelo território italiano foram os Arditi del popolo. O artigo pretende acompanhar esse período de forma sucinta, com a ajuda de recente historiografia italiana, para contextualizar e apresentar a análise de Gramsci sobre tal experiência histórica, tanto em seus textos publicados à época no L’Ordine Nuovo, quanto posteriormente, em suas reflexões carcerárias. A hipótese é que, embora tenha aprofundado, no cárcere, sua análise teórica das relações político-militares de classe, Gramsci nunca mudou de ideia sobre a necessidade de os grupos subalternos organizarem formas de resistência “ilegais”, fora da institucionalidade vigente, como parte da luta de hegemonias.
Considerações filosóficas sobre o habitar e o visitar no contexto das residências artísticas do Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch
Authors: Pereira Marcelo De Andrade , Malavolta Ana Paula Parise
Published: October 2019

Este artigo, de caráter ensaístico, consiste em uma reflexão acerca do sentido do habitar e do visitar/viajar desde a construção poética de Pina Bausch. Ao tomar como ponto de partida a apreciação de um conjunto de peças apresentadas no período das Olímpiadas de Londres, em 2012, a investigação procura delimitar a produção da artista, de modo a diferenciar três fases poéticas, focalizando especialmente em uma tardia – a qual se caracteriza pela relação dos bailarinos da companhia de Wuppertal com cidades do mundo inteiro; pretende, portanto, ao deslindar o problema do habitar e do visitar/viajar no processo criativo da coreógrafa em questão, demonstrar as potencialidades éticas e estéticas de uma dada forma de composição artística – paradoxalmente singular e plural.

Configurações indeterminadas
Authors: Costa Alexandre Rodrigues da
Published: October 2019

Neste artigo, investigamos o informe, na obra de Hans Bellmer, como possibilidade de releitura da anamorfose a partir dos conceitos de diagrama e mancha, estudados por Kenneth Clark em seu texto “The blot and the diagram”. Dessa maneira, analisamos a relação entre corpo e cenário, ao explorar como Bellmer busca no studium, conceito de Roland Barthes, gerar ambiguidades, subvertendo a iconografia dedicada ao erotismo e os limites entre o exterior e o interior. Com base nesses processos, examinamos como o informe se desdobra da anamorfose e o evocamos, na obra de Bellmer, como dúvida, no instante em que a perspectiva e a anatomia são colapsadas pelo diagrama e pela mancha, dos quais se originam elementos de ordem abstrata e figurativa.
Absorção, teatralidade e a tradição da pintura francesa na obra de Henri Matisse
Authors: Sartuzi Ilê
Published: October 2019

O artigo examina as noções de “absorção” e “teatralidade” propostas por Michael Fried e retomadas por Yve-Alain Bois nos textos em que escreveu sobre a obra de Henri Matisse. Uma das questões centrais abordadas é o modo como a obra de Matisse resiste ao regime volátil de percepção precipitado pela modernidade industrial e como insta a um tipo de atenção a um só tempo contemplativa e difusa. Discute, além disso, como essa modalidade de percepção, que dispersa e difunde a atenção, e que é própria à pintura de Matisse, parece sintetizar duas vertentes opostas da tradição pictórica francesa: a dinâmica do olhar cambiante do Rococó e o estado de absorção que marca as pinturas de Greuze e Chardin.
Sobre a noção de três espaços no cinema
Authors: Borges Cristian
Published: October 2019

Em sua tese de doutorado sobre o filme Fausto (1926), do alemão F. W. Murnau, o cineasta francês Éric Rohmer identifica no cinema, ou pelo menos no tipo de cinema mais convencional e narrativo que lhe interessa, três aspectos do espaço que ele denomina: pictórico, arquitetônico e fílmico. Como veremos, se essa divisão pode, por um lado, servir a uma função didática ligada ao aprendizado sobre a composição visual das imagens fílmicas, ela se revela, por outro lado, reducionista e artificial ao ignorar, ou ao menos desprezar, a componente temporal do cinema em favor de sua faceta espacial.
"Um decisionismo saudável": a resposta de Otto Hintze para a crise do historicismo
Authors: Cunha Marcelo Durao Rodrigues da
Published: October 2019

Este artigo tem o objetivo de trazer à tona as contribuições teóricas oferecidas pelo historiador Otto Hintze ao conturbado contexto intelectual vivido pela ciência histórica alemã nas décadas finais do Oitocentos e na primeira metade do século XX. Para tanto, parto do pressuposto de que as posições de Hintze se constituíram em grande medida como uma tentativa de resposta à crise do historicismo, aqui entendida como o colapso da crença por parte da burguesia letrada alemã no sentido "singular coletivo" adquirido pelo conceito de história na modernidade. À luz dessa definição preambular busco compreender a sua ética individual – por ele definida com um tipo "saudável" de resolutismo - como uma posição derivada do que defendo terem sido as duas principais contribuições desse historiador para o debate em tela: a dessacralização da política e do Estado moderno e a sua reconceitualização científica do historicismo.

Published: October 2019

Este texto faz uma reflexão acerca da importância sugerida pelos autores, tradutores e outros personagens responsáveis pela divulgação dos conhecimentos científicos, do final do século XVIII e início do século XIX no Brasil. Selecionamos, para dar suportar nosso estudo, as seguintes obras:   Elementos de Astronomia, 1813, Tratado Elementar de Machanica, 1812, Tratado de Optica, 1813, Tratado Elementar de Physica tomo II, 181 e o Jornal O Patriota, 1813-1814. A análise apresenta algumas expectativas manifestadas pelos autores, tradutores e editores desses textos selecionados, no que se refere a importância social, política ou econômica que davam aos seus trabalhos. Especificamente, centramos na identificação das manifestações dos autores dos textos entendendo que, além do ambiente social, político e econômico ao qual pertenciam, seus anseios, desejos e expectativas também fizeram parte das obras que constituíram. Dialogamos com autores como: Luís Miguel Carolino; Maria Odila Leite da Silva Dias e Lorelai Kury, constituindo um pano de fundo nessa empreitada. O estudo que realizamos permitiu considerar que não há uma resposta definitiva e que não podemos apontar que ambições ou expectativas os editores, autores ou tradutores exatamente tiveram para divulgar conhecimentos científicos. Porém, no que se refere a “utilidade” que atribuíam ao conhecimento divulgado, pudemos aprofundar um pouco mais e trazer algumas considerações que podem contribuir com reflexões para o que está posto sobre a temática.

Authors: Mota Manoel Santos
Published: October 2019

O estudo investiga a biografia e o percurso profissional de Philippe Ariès [1914-1984], historiador francês pouco divulgado no cenário brasileiro, que é considerado um precursor da História das Mentalidades e um expoente da renovação da Escrita da História no século XX. O artigo enseja, nestes traços, desvelar a formação do historiador, fazendo conhecer a sua cultura política e histórica, esferas estas que foram seminais no executar de seu posterior ofício historiográfico. Para tanto, promove-se, em continuidade, uma exegese de sua obra intitulada Le Temps de l´Histoire, livro mister em que Ariès expôs e refletiu sobre suas visões da História da História, Teoria e Metodologia da História e História da Historiografia.
A Pedagogia Jesuítica e a Pedagogia de Anísio Teixeira
Authors: Araujo Leyvijane Albuquerque de
Published: October 2019

A partir de estudos recentes do campo da Historiografia e História da Educação Brasileira, selecionamos dois demarcadores temporais que também podem ser indicadores para uma pedagogia como ciência, que são a pedagogia jesuítica, que vem do pioneirismo de uma organização de ensino no Brasil fundamentada por Pompa e Hilsdorf e a pedagogia anisiana, da pedagogia nova representada por Anísio Teixeira. O estudo bibliográfico mostra que a historiografia e a História da Educação é que vão atestar que tanto a pedagogia jesuítica como a pedagogia anisiana trazem em seu bojo características da cientificidade da educação a partir de uma forma de organização metodológica, epistemológica e das relações entre os sujeitos que são seres sócio-históricos e culturais, ou seja, desde os jesuítas a pedagogia já se constituía como ciência da educação, como uma pedagogia da ciência, portanto, histórica e social.
Hier van daan ging ik na een Boekverkoopers Winkel
Authors: Habermehl Jan
Published: October 2019

This article investigates the anonymously published Dutch libertarian student novel De Leidsche Straat-Schender, Of de Roekelooze Student and discusses its narrator’s awareness of the contemporary literary scene during the 1680s in Amsterdam. A high level of poetological self-referentiality is related to the material needs and economical conditions of Dutch book trade, especially to the life circumstances of a prominent editor of libertarian literature, Timotheus ten Hoorn.
Regulatory Globalisation as a Contested Phenomenon – Case of Electricity Sector Reform in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India
Authors: Chintapanti Adithya Krishna
Published: October 2019

In 1993, India adopted the neoliberal World Bank model for the electricity sector, which endeavoured to privatise the state owned sector. The move to privatise was prompted by sectoral losses owing to politicisation of provision and inefficient management of the state owned utility. This transition from a ‘welfare state’ to a ‘regulatory state’ was sought to be achieved through legislative enactment. By tracing the province of Andhra Pradesh’s implementation of the reform legislation, the paper evolves an alternate narrative of the reform process, as opposed the World Bank’s narrative of legislative enactment signalling the reception of its regulatory model. It argues that focussing on resistance to reform and actual ‘reception’ as opposed to formal enactment will counter the assumption of triumph of the neo-liberal worldview of the role of the state in economic activity.
Phylogenetic position of the fish genera Lobotes, Datnioides and Hapalogenys, with a reappraisal of acanthuriform composition and relationships based on adult and larval morphology
Authors: GILL ANTHONY C. , LEIS JEFFREY M.
Published: October 2019

Lobotes, Datnioides and Hapalogenys are assigned to a newly defined Acanthuriformes on the basis of their pattern of tooth replacement (termed posterolateral tooth replacement), where new teeth form at the posterolateral ends of series. Posterolateral tooth replacement is shown to be a synamorphy of the order. The order is expanded to include Chaetodontidae, Pomacanthidae, Drepaneidae, Ephippidae, Leiognathidae, Antigonia, Scatophagidae and Capros, along with the more traditional members, Siganidae, Luvaridae, Zanclidae and Acanthuridae. Three-item analysis of 63 adult and larval morphological characters yields two optimal trees that differ only in the relative positions of Capros and Siganidae. The intersection tree of the two optimal trees is: (((Hapalogenys (Datnioides, Lobotidae)) (Pomacanthidae (Drepaneidae (Chaetodontidae (Ephippidae (Leiognathidae (Scatophagidae (Antigonia (Siganidae, Capros (Luvaridae (Zanclidae, Acanthuridae)))))))))))). This cladogram is compared with recent phylogenies based on analyses of sequence data, and few differences are found once the weakly-supported interior nodes of the latter are collapsed. Aside from expansion of the Acanthuriformes, the following classification changes are proposed in order to reflect the phylogenetic relationships: redefinition of the Lobotidae to include Lobotes, Datnioides and Hapalogenys; separate families for Antigonia and Capros (Antigoniidae and Caproidae, respectively); continued recognition of Drepaneidae (often considered a synonym of Ephippidae). The larvae of Capros aper are illustrated to show features overlooked in earlier descriptions.
Machine Cleaning of Online Opinion Spam: Developing a Machine-Learning Algorithm for Detecting Deceptive Comments
Authors: Oh Yu Won , Park Chong Hyun
Published: October 2019

Humans are not very good at detecting deception. The problem is that there is currently no other particular way to distinguish fake opinions in a comments section than by resorting to poor human judgments. For years, most scholarly and industrial efforts have been directed at detecting fake consumer reviews of products or services. A technique for identifying deceptive opinions on social issues is largely underexplored and undeveloped. Inspired by the need for a reliable deceptive comment detection method, this study aims to develop an automated machine-learning technique capable of determining opinion trustworthiness in a comment section. In the process, we have created the first large-scale ground truth dataset consisting of 866 truthful and 869 deceptive comments on social issues. This is also one of the first attempts to detect comment deception in Asian languages (in Korean, specifically). The proposed machine-learning technique achieves nearly 81% accuracy in detecting untruthful opinions about social issues. This performance is quite consistent across issues and well beyond that of human judges.
Early Invasive Versus Ischemia-Guided Strategy in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A National Inpatient Sample Analysis

Published: October 2019

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for non-ST-segment elevation–acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). Whether early invasive strategy (EIS) or ischemia-guided strategy (IGS) confers better outcomes in NSTE-ACS with COPD is largely unknown. Nationwide Inpatient Sample database of the United States was queried from 2010 to 2015 to identify NSTE-ACS with and without COPD. Early invasive strategy was defined as coronary angiogram with or without revascularization on admission day 0 or 1, whereas IGS included patients who did not receive EIS. Standardized morbidity ratio weight was used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio. A total of 228 175 NSTE-ACS admissions with COPD were identified of which 34.0% received EIS. In-hospital mortality was lower with EIS in patients with COPD (3.1% vs 5.5%, adjusted odds ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.50-0.63) compared to IGS, but the magnitude of mortality reduction observed in EIS in patients with COPD was less compared to non-COPD patients ( Pinteraction= .02). Length of stay was shorter (4.2 vs 4.7 days, P < .0001) but the cost was higher (US$23 804 vs US$18 533, P < .0001) in EIS in COPD. Early invasive strategy resulted in lower in-hospital mortality and marginally shorter length of stay but higher hospitalization cost in NSTE-ACS with COPD.
Police decision-making with young offenders: Examining barriers to the use of diversion options
Authors: Green Rachael , Gray Rebecca M , Bryant Joanne , Rance Jake , MacLean Sarah
Published: October 2019

Youth justice policies in Australia feature an overall welfare-oriented approach and an emphasis on diverting young people away from the justice system. Nevertheless, some young people, particularly those with complex needs, are incarcerated at a young age and are at greater risk of poor outcomes. This paper explores barriers to the use of diversion options by police through analysis of in-depth interviews with 25 police staff. Consistent with the previous literature, role constraints, workload and lack of specialist knowledge were discussed. This paper explores the interplay of these factors with values, beliefs and expectations about young offenders – many of which were framed by experiences of adversarial encounters with young people and damaged faith in the system to rehabilitate. Naturalistic decision-making scholarship is drawn on to identify the potential role of ‘schemas’ in police use of discretion and of practical strategies that may support welfare and rehabilitation-oriented police practice with young people.
Dynamic Governance Matching in Solution Development
Authors: Colm Laura , Ordanini Andrea , Bornemann Torsten
Published: October 2019

Facing competitive and commoditization threats, many companies shift to solution offerings, albeit with mixed results. With a qualitative analysis of dyadic data (suppliers and customers), this article investigates an important, often overlooked reason for such mixed outcomes: the complex, dynamic role of governance matching. This study identifies a series of tensions arising from solution-specific exchange conditions and the matched governance mechanisms actors use to address them: temporary asset colocation, network closure, knowledge-based boundary objects, rights allocation agreements, and liaison champions. It also reveals the dynamic nature of governance matching. Solutions evolve in three phases—experimentation, integration, and evolution—in which single mechanisms have different functions (safeguarding and/or coordination), provide contingent and transient benefits, and can be used in combination to address complex tensions. This study also identifies two decision points, mutual commitment and balanced power, that separate the three phases; their outcomes help explain why certain solution efforts do not take off, others stall, and still others revert to mere spot exchanges. Beyond contributing to solutions literature, these findings provide actionable insights to marketing managers.
Nomadic Concepts, Variable Choice, and the Social Sciences
Authors: Greene Catherine
Published: October 2019

The observation that concepts used by social scientists are often problematic is not new; they have been described as Ballung concepts, cluster concepts, essentially contested, and reflexive; however, the need to work with these concepts remains. This article addresses the problem of variable choice in the social sciences by exploring and extending Woodward’s recommendations. This article demonstrates why Woodward’s criteria are difficult to apply in the social sciences and proposes an alternative, but complementary, framework for assessing variables.
Role of α-Tocopherol Acetate on Nasal Respiratory Functions: Mucociliary Clearance and Rhinomanometric Evaluations in Primary Atrophic Rhinitis

Published: October 2019

Primary atrophic rhinitis is a disease of the nose and of paranasalsinuses characterized by a progressive loss of function of nasal and paranasal mucosa caused by a gradual destruction of ciliary mucosalepithelium with atrophy of serous–mucous glands and loss of bonestructures.The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of topic α-tochopherol acetate (vitamin E) in patients with primary atrophicrhinitis based on subjective and objective data.We analyzed 44 patients with dry nose sensation and endoscopic evidence of atrophic nasal mucosa. We analyzed endoscopic mucosascore, anterior rhinomanometry, and nasal mucociliary clearance before and after 6 months of topic treatment with α-tochopherol acetate. For statistical analysis, we used paired samples t test (95% confidence interval [CI], P < .05) for rhinomanometric and muciliary transit time evaluations and analysis of variance 1-way test (95% CI, P < .05) for endoscopic evaluation. All patients showed an improvement in “dry nose” sensation and inperception of nasal airflow. Rhinomanometric examination showed increase of nasal airflow at follow-up ( P < .05); nasal mucociliaryclearance showed a reduction in mean transit time ( P < .05); and endoscopic evaluation showed significative improvement of hydration of nasalmucosa and significative decreasing nasal crusts and mucusaccumulation ( P < .05). Medical treatment for primary atrophic rhinitis is not clearly documented in the literature; in this research, it was demonstrated that α-ochopherol acetate could be a possible treatment for atrophic rhinitis.
