„O sadzeniu, budowaniu i kopaniu”. Prawo miejskie Aleksandrii o odstępach i procedurze w przypadku ich naruszenia
Authors: Skalec Aneta
Published: August 2020

Przedmiotem artykułu jest fragment Dikaiomata (P. Hal. 1, ll. 79-105), papirusu z III w. p.n.e., który jako jeden z nielicznych przekazuje nam prawo miejskie Aleksandrii. Analizowana część dokumentu zawiera uregulowania odległości, jakie należało zachować od sąsiadów przy prowadzeniu różnych prac na własnym terenie (odstęp w przypadku wznoszenia ogrodzenia, ściany, budynku, kopania rowów i dołów oraz sadzenia roślin) oraz procedury znajdującej zastosowanie w razie ich naruszenia. Uregulowania dotyczące odległości znane są z innych, zarówno greckich, jak i rzymskich źródeł, co pozwala na ich uzupełnienia oraz porównanie. Te związane z procedurą przekazane zostały wyłącznie w Dikaiomata i ograniczone są jedynie do przypadków sadzenia i kopania. Przewidywały one możliwość powstrzymania prac prowadzonych na terenie sąsiednim, co skutkowało obowiązkiem usunięcia roślin i rowów, a w razie nieuczynienia tego we wskazanym terminie, dopuszczały zastosowanie samopomocy, jak i domagania się naprawienia szkód. Wydaje się, że w przypadku tego fragmentu mamy do czynienia z przepisami o ogólnogreckim charakterze, które zostały przejęte następnie do prawa Aleksandrii. W artykule wymieniono i omówiono różnice, zarówno gramatyczne, jak i merytoryczne, pomiędzy wersjami prawa przekazanymi w Dikaiomata i w Digestach, wraz z próbą ich wyjaśnienia poprzez odniesienie do rzeczywistości urbanistycznej Grecji archaicznej i klasycznej, hellenistycznej Aleksandrii i Rzymu, jak i specyfiki prawa rzymskiego.
Uwagi nad przekazem dokumentu fundacyjnego klasztoru cystersów w Lądzie
Authors: Pytel Marcin
Published: August 2020

Artykuł jest poświęcony przekazowi dokumentu fundacyjnego klasztoru cystersów w Lądzie. Dokument ten zachował się w kilku wersjach, które różnią się między sobą zarówno przekazem (rzekomy oryginał, kopie), jak i treścią oraz ortografią. Ostatnie badania przyjmowały, że najstarszym i pewnie autentycznym dokumentem jest tzw. egzemplarz włocławski, najuboższy w treść. Jednak analiza pisowni nazw osobowych, a także miejscowych wskazuje, że w formie, w jakiej go znamy, nie mógł powstać w XII w. Do podobnych konstatacji wiedzie również analiza transmisji wszystkich znanych przekazów dokumetu fundacyjnego opactwa w Lądzie.
On variational nonlinear equations with monotone operators
Authors: Galewski Marek
Published: August 2020

Using monotonicity methods and some variational argument we consider nonlinear problems which involve monotone potential mappings satisfying condition (S) and their strongly continuous perturbations. We investigate when functional whose minimum is obtained by a direct method of the calculus of variations satisfies the Palais-Smale condition, relate minimizing sequence and Galerkin approximaitons when both exist, then provide structure conditions on the derivative of the action functional under which bounded Palais-Smale sequences are convergent. Finally, we make some comment concerning the convergence of Palais-Smale sequence obtained in the mountain pass theorem due to Rabier.
Sellars, Price, and the Myth of the Given
Authors: Hicks Michael R.
Published: August 2020

Wilfrid Sellars's "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind" (EPM) begins with an argument against sense-datum epistemology. There is some question about the validity of this attack, stemming in part from the assumption that Sellars is concerned with epistemic foundationalism. This paper recontextualizes Sellars's argument in two ways: by showing how the argument of EPM relates to Sellars's 1940s work, which does not concern foundationalism at all; and by considering the view of H.H. Price, Sellars's teacher at Oxford and the only classical datum theorist to receive substantive comment in EPM. Timm Triplett has claimed that Sellars's discussion simply begs the question against Price, but this depends on the mistaken assumption that Sellars's concern is with foundationalism.  On the contrary, Sellars's argument concerns the assumption that the innate capacity for sensory experience counts as "thinking in presence" in the way needed for empiricist accounts of content acquisition. Price's distinction between noticing universals and being aware of them encapsulates the tensions empiricists face here.

Self-Report and Contemporaneously Recorded Running Agreement in Recreational Athletes
Authors: Leech Richard D. , Grunseit Anne , Edwards Kimberley L.
Published: August 2020

Leech RD, Grunseit A, and Edwards KL. Self-report and contemporaneously recorded running agreement in recreational athletes. J Strength Cond Res 36(7): 1922–1929, 2022—Accurate assessment of running exposure in research or clinical practice relies on the ability to measure the behavior validly and reliably. Self-reported physical activity (PA) (including running), although commonly used, is subject to bias. User-owned wearable technological devices provide a potential contemporaneously collected data source for validating retrospective running-specific questionnaires. This study assesses agreement between self-reported running and contemporaneously collected running data. Self-reported running and corresponding contemporaneously recorded for current (at the time of questionnaire completion) and historical (6 months prior) was collected. Concordance Correlations and Bland-Altman Limits of Agreement measured extent of agreement. Categories for Metabolic Equivalent Task (MET) hours per week were calculated from total running distance. Unweighted and weighted Kappas were used to compare classification of levels of running by the 2 data sources. Running data were collected from 139 subjects (mean age 51.1 years). Self-report data were higher than contemporaneous data. Average estimated pace from both sources were similar, with high variance in some individuals. Differences of 43.5–57.1% were reported for current mean weekly running distances for 7-day, 4-week, and 12-week running periods. The level of agreement in classification between self-report and contemporaneous running data MET/HR categories was fair (unweighted K = 0.24–0.33) to moderate (weighted K = 0.46–0.63). Compared with contemporaneous running data, runners over-estimate the frequency, distance, and duration of running in self-report. Runners tend to discount nonrunning periods and unusual runs when estimating current and historical “average” running. The opportunities and limitations of different contemporaneous running data collection methods as a PA comparator must be acknowledged.

Stapleton, DT, Boergers, RJ, Rodriguez, J, Green, G, Johnson, K, Williams, P, Leelum, N, Jackson, L, and Vallorosi, J. The relationship between functional movement, dynamic stability, and athletic performance assessments in baseball and softball athletes. J Strength Cond Res 35(12S): S42–S50, 2021—Despite recent popularity, the relationship between movement quality and measures of athletic performance remains inconclusive. This investigation sought to clarify the relationships between measures of movement quality and measures of athletic performance in baseball and softball athletes. Thirty-eight National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I baseball (n = 23; age 20.00 ± 1.38 years, lower-extremity [LE] limb length 93.91 ± 4.37, upper-extremity [UE] limb length 92.37 ± 4.48) and softball (n = 15; age 19.93 ± 1.28 years, LE limb length 89.43 ± 4.67, UE limb length 84.61 ± 4.39) athletes completed the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and the Y Balance Test for the lower and upper extremities (YBTLQ and YBTUQ, respectively). Performance assessments were proagility (PA), vertical jump (VJ), and rotational medicine ball throw to the right and left (RMTR and RMTL, respectively). No significant correlations were seen between any of the composite scores of movement quality and athletic performance in baseball athletes; shoulder mobility was weakly correlated with PA (r

s
= 0.442, p = 0.035). Composite FMS was negatively correlated with RMTR (r
s = −0.753) in softball athletes. In addition, in softball athletes, RMTR was negatively correlated with in-line lunge (r
s = −0.544, p = 0.04), trunk stability push-up (r
s = −0.761, p = 0.002), anterior YBTLQ reach (r = −0.628), and posterolateral YBTLQ reach (r = −0.683); VJ was correlated with posterolateral YBTLQ reach (r = 0.531) and superolateral (SL) YBTUQ reach (r = 0.591), and PA was negatively correlated with posterolateral YBTLQ (r = −0.60) and SL YBTUQ reach (r = −0.557). The differences in correlations of movement quality and athletic performance between baseball and softball athletes suggest movement quality influences performance differently in female athletes and male athletes.

Marynowicz, J, Kikut, K, Lango, M, Horna, D, and Andrzejewski, M. Relationship between the session-RPE and external measures of training load in youth soccer training. J Strength Cond Res 34(10): 2800–2804, 2020—The aim of this study was to identify the external training load (TL) markers (10 Hz Global Positioning System) that are most influential on the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and session-RPE (sRPE) during youth soccer training. Data were collected from 18 youth soccer players during an 18-week in-season period. A total of 804 training observations were undertaken. We observed moderate to very large within-individual correlations between sRPE and measures of external load (r ranging from 0.36 to 0.76). Large, positive within-individual correlations were found between total covered distance, PlayerLoad, number of accelerations, and sRPE (r = 0.70, 0.64, and 0.62, respectively, p < 0.001). By contrast, small to moderate within-individual correlations were noted between RPE and measures of intensity (r ranging from 0.16 to 0.39). A moderate within-individual correlation was observed between high-speed running distance (HSR) per minute and RPE (r = 0.39, p < 0.001). The level of statistical significance was set at alpha = 0.05 for all tests. Two generalized estimating equation models were constructed, with RPE and sRPE as the response variables. The model identified by QIC for RPE contained 2 variables as follows: HSR per minute and distance in deceleration per minute, whereas sRPE was modeled with 3 predictors as follows: PlayerLoad, HSR, and distance in acceleration. The findings demonstrate that RPE does not reflect the intensity of a training session and that sRPE can be a useful, simple, and cost-effective tool for monitoring TL.
Myxomycetes within ecotones in temperate and tropical forests

Published: August 2020

Ecotones are interesting portions of forests where microorganisms can be studied for monitoring and diversity purposes. Given the faster life cycle of these organisms, their study in such a context is important to develop models that allow us to understand adaptive microbial dynamics. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of myxomycetes present in the leaf litter layer in different geographical locations representing both temperate and tropical systems, using an experimental approach within the ecotones produced by sharp forest edges. Employing the moist chamber technique and three ecological indicators (species richness, diversity, and number of records, as a proxy for abundance) associated with the reproductive phase of the life cycle of myxomycetes, the present study summarized the potential effect of both temperate and tropical ecotones on the distribution of these organisms. Data from 26 locations in six countries showed that all indicators were higher in temperate than in tropical forests and that most differences could be explained by ecological effects. The overall influence of the ecotone on myxomycetes was opposite in temperate and tropical forests, but the data collected for both types of forests showed similarities that could be explained by comparable mathematical models. These results suggested that, with the methods used herein, ecotones do affect ecological patterns of myxomycetes, but the intensity and directionality of such an effect differ depending on the forest type involved.
Homogenization Effects of VVER-1000 Fuel Assembly on Criticality Calculations
Authors: Shauddin Sardar Muhammad
Published: August 2020

Due to cost effective and simplicity homogeneous reactors have been widely used for experimental and research purposes. Parameters which are difficult to get from a heterogeneous reactor system can be easily obtained from a homogeneous reactor system and can be applied in the heterogeneous reactor system if the major parametric differences are known. In this study, homogenization effects of VVER (Water Water Energetic Reactor)-1000 fuel assembly on neutronic parameters have been analyzed with the universal probabilistic code MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle). The infinite multiplication factor (k∞) has been calculated for the reconfigured heterogeneous and homogenous fuel assembly models with 2 w/o U-235 enriched fuel at room temperature. Effect of mixing soluble boron into the moderator/coolant (H2O) has been investigated for both models. Direct and fission detected thermal to higher energy neutron ratio also has been investigated. Relative power distributions of both models have been calculated at critical and supercritical states. Burnup calculations for both the reconfigured cores have been carried out up to 5 years of operation. Effective delayed neutron fraction (βeff) and prompt removal lifetime (ℓ) also have been evaluated. All the results show significant differences between the two systems except the average relative power.
Dose rate profile inside the spent fuel storage pool in case of full capacity storage
Authors: Abdelhady Amr
Published: August 2020

This study aims to evaluate the radiation dose rate distribution inside temporary spent fuel open-pool storage. The storage pool is connected to the main pool via transfer channel to facilitate transporting the spent fuel under water that avoiding radiation dose rising in the working area in the reactor. The storage pool was prepared to store 800 spent fuel elements that considering the maximum capacity of storage. The spent fuel elements in the storage pool have different decay times depending on the times of extraction from the core. Assuming conservatively, that the spent fuels of the 5-years decay time would be stored in the lower rack and the spent fuels, of decay time ranged between 10 days and 5 years, would be stored in the upper rack. The dose rate was profiled in the region above the upper rack using SCALE/MAVRIC code applying adjoint flux calculation as a variance reduction technique. The results show that the dose rate values in the region above the pool surface would be lower than the permissible limits.

Objetivo Comprender las percepciones que tienen médicos y pacientes sobre sus relaciones y cómo las condiciones actuales del Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS) influyen en su relacionamiento.Materiales y Métodos La recolección y análisis de información se basó en el principio de saturación que propone la investigación cualitativa, mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas a 17 pacientes y 15 médicos durante el ejercicio de sus roles, en el ambiente de la espera y la consulta en cinco IPS seleccionadas. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas, trascritas y analizadas bajo los preceptos de la Teoría Fundamentada de Corbin y Strauss. El diseño muestral fue teórico por conveniencia.Resultados Las condiciones del SGSSS sobre el hacer del médico, el abuso del derecho por parte de algunos pacientes y la percepción de calidad desigual entre Entidades Administradores de Planes de Beneficios (EAPB), así como las fallas de comunicación en las Relaciones Médico-Paciente (RMP), el desprestigio de los médicos generales, la percepción de incredulidad hacia médicos jóvenes, entre otras percepciones identificadas dejan entrever que los cambios en el SGSSS contribuyen en la construcción de las RMP actuales.Conclusiones Es fundamental que los actores del SGSSS propongan intervenciones que refuercen en los médicos capacidades comunicativas y psicosociales desde sus procesos de formación profesional, además de la disposición del SGSSS para proveer condiciones que permitan al médico desarrollar una atención en salud centrada en el paciente.

Objetivo Predecir el número de casos de COVID-19 en la ciudad de Cali-Colombia mediante el desarrollo de un modelo SEIR.Métodos Se utilizó un modelo determinista compartimental SEIR considerando los estados: susceptibles (S), expuestos (E), infectados (I) y recuperados (R). Los parámetros del modelo fueron seleccionados de acuerdo a la revisión de literatura. En el casode la tasa de letalidad, se usaron los datos de la Secretaría de Salud Municipal de Cali. Se plantearon varios escenarios teniendo en cuenta variaciones en el número básico de reproducción (R0) y en la tasa de letalidad; además, se comparó la predicción hasta el 9 de abril con los datos observados.Resultados A través del modelo SEIR se encontró que, con el número básico de reproducción más alto (2,6) y utilizando la letalidad calculada para la ciudad de 2,0%, el número máximo de casos se alcanzaría el primero de junio con 195 666 (prevalencia); sin embargo, al comparar los casos observados con los esperados, al inicio la ocurrencia observada estaba por encima de la proyectada; pero luego cambia la tendencia con una disminución marcada de la pendiente.Conclusiones Los modelos epidemiológicos SEIR son métodos muy utilizados para la proyección de casos en enfermedades infecciosas; sin embargo, se debe tener en cuenta que son modelos deterministas que pueden utilizar parámetros supuestos y podrían generar resultados imprecisos.
SARS-CoV.2/COVID-19 en Colombia: tendencias, predicciones y tensiones sobre el sistema sanitario

Published: August 2020

Objetivo Analizar la evolución temporal de la primera etapa del COVID-19 en Colombia a través del modelo SIRD.Métodos Se analizó la evolución temporal del COVID-19 según los individuos infectados en Colombia del 6 de marzo al 15 de abril de 2020. Se realizó el modelo SIRD modificando la tasa de transmisión (b) bajo tres escenarios: 1) cuarentena hasta el 1 de julio, 2) cuarentena flexible1 hasta el 11 de mayo con un b del 4%, y 3) cuarentena flexible2 hasta el 11 de mayo con b del 8%, con el fin de predecir el número de casos totales y el 5% de infectados en UCI para contrastarlo con el número de camas y personal UCI.Resultados Los escenarios mostraron que levantar la cuarentena el 11 de mayo significará un aumento en el número de infectados, entre 54 105 a 116 081 individuos con COVID-19. Así mismo, la rápida aceleración en la tasa de contagios se traduce en una mayor demanda de camas y personal en UCI: en el escenario de cuarentena flexible2 se colapsarían las 2 650 camas disponibles y se necesitaría de 5 intensivitas y 4 enfermeras por paciente al 1 julio.Conclusión Las medidas de distanciamiento social obligatorias contribuyen al retraso de la saturación del sistema de salud; sin embargo, son difíciles de sostener en el tiempo desde una perspectiva económica. Por lo tanto, para tener una distensión de la cuarentena es necesario adoptar medidas para ampliar la capacidad del sistema de salud y así evitar su colapso.

Objetivo Analizar las dimensiones psicológica, social y familiar de una profesional de la salud en cuarentena por COVID-19.Método Reporte de caso. Se utilizó una matriz como bitácora diaria para recolección de información de las tres dimensiones analizadas. Se respetó el anonimato de la persona en todo momento.Resultados Se presenta un estudio de caso con los principales hitos de la vida diaria de una profesional de la salud durante los 14 días de cuarentena. En la dimensión psicológica se destacan sentimientos de miedo e incertidumbre ante el riesgo; en la social, sobresale la importancia del acompañamiento de familiares y amigos que fortalecieron la adaptabilidad al proceso, y en la familiar, la relevancia de los vínculos afectivos y la comunicación permanente.Conclusión Los aspectos desarrollados en las diferentes dimensiones deben ser considerados por quienes participan en el manejo y seguimiento de casos en el cuidado primario, en tanto son la posibilidad de fortalecer el mecanismo neuronal y hormonal a través del soporte familiar y social. El ser profesional de la salud y el conocimiento sobre el tema puede generar una mayor afectación (por el aislamiento involuntario relacionado con el riesgo de COVID-19), no solo clínica, sino también psicológica, social y familiar. En este este sentido, quienes manejan los casos deben considerar laintegralidad en las condiciones de salud.

Objetivos Analizar las características del pluralismo terapéutico en torno al cáncer de adultos, atendidos en un hospital de cancerología, a partir de sus trayectorias de salud/enfermedad/atención-desatención.Métodos Estudio analítico-explicativo, etnográfico, transversal-aplicado y de carácter cualitativo. Se realizaron registros etnográficos, observación participante y entrevistas semiestructuradas. Para el artículo se tomaron los datos proporcionados por diez personas participantes con cáncer, atendidas en el Centro Estatal de Cancerología de Veracruz. La identificación de participantes se hará mediante seudónimos, para preservar la privacidad de datos personales. Los instrumentos de trabajo estuvieron conformados por guías de observación, guías de entrevistas semiestructuradas y expedientes clínicos del hospital mencionado.Resultados Se muestran dos resultados principales: 1) caracterización de la diversidad de terapias de acuerdo con las referencias de los participantes, y lo que utilizaron durante toda su trayectoria biográfica en torno a procesos salud/enfermedad/ atención -desatención;2) identificación de los aspectos socioculturales que intervienen en estos procesos complejos de pluralidad terapéutica, estrechamente relacionados con la aparición del cáncer. Conclusión Los aspectos socioculturales están entretejidos con la pluralidad terapéutica emergente en los procesos complejos de la enfermedad del cáncer. La implicación de dichos factores en los procesos salud/enfermedad/atención-desatención al cáncer se manifiestan incluso antes de los primeros síntomas, es decir, en las acciones cotidianas del autocuidado y acciones de atención preventiva. El mestizaje terapéutico registrado da cuenta de los efectos de la globalización, característica de las sociedades capitalistas, en la que el pluralismo de terapias deviene en un fenómeno óptimo de comercialización y consumo.
Quando a ideologia é instrumento de dominação: o aprisionamento do sujeito em O Prisioneiro, de Erico Verissimo
Authors: Bonatti Diego
Published: August 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a configuração das ideologias presentes no enredo da obra O Prisioneiro, de Erico Verissimo enquanto representação de um processo de aprisionamento e de dominação do protagonista, o Tenente. Ao narrar as vivências de um militar que lutava na Guerra do Vietnã, a obra evidencia o poder exercido por ideologias de cunho político, econômico e religioso sobre a personagem. O escritor, ao narrar o conflito ideológico do indivíduo frente à sociedade, representa a complexidade trazida pela vivências dos sujeitos diante dos eventos históricos que marcaram o final do século XX. Como bases teóricas, os escritos de Ricoeur (2015), Eagleton (1997), Althusser (1980), Assis (2011), Berthier (2008), Foucault (1999) e Sharpe (2000) deram base à discussão.
Vladimiro Caposso, o “homem novo”: considerações sobre a distopia pós-revolucionária em Predadores, de Pepetela
Authors: Dias Mariana Sousa
Published: August 2020

O presente trabalho aborda a oposição entre o homem novo angolano, idealizado durante as lutas de libertação, frente à ascensão do novo homem angolano, forjado a partir de valores capitalistas no romance Predadores, de 2005. Os tensionamentos delineados pela conjugação utopia-distopia, ou seja, homem novo-novo homem, traduzem, em boa medida, não somente as problemáticas enfrentadas por Angola na atualidade, mas o elemento central da atuação literária de Pepetela: a busca por identificações a serem pensadas a partir das falhas que marcam os dois modelos subjetivos – bem como as interpretações e adaptações realizadas a partir de tais perfis. Para estudarmos a obra, recorreremos em especial a Fanon (1979), Frade (2007) e Mudimbe (2012).
Imagens da mulher chinesa na obra A China Fica ao Lado de Maria Ondina Braga
Authors: Ming Xin
Published: August 2020

Este artigo tenciona apresentar uma análise das figurações femininas chinesas, do estatuto familiar e social da mulher e da sua luta pela emancipação sobretudo em Macau. Maria Ondina Braga, que viveu neste território há anos, configurou na sua obra A China Fica ao Lado imagens de mulheres chinesas. A obra permite-nos olhar para uma evolução da importância da presença feminina das décadas 40 a 60 do século XX. Atendendo aos pressupostos teóricos de Jean-Marc Moura, Álvaro Manuel Machado e Daniel-Henri Pageaux, no âmbito da imagologia, analisaremos o modo como a obra assume enquanto plataforma de construção de imagens das mulheres chinesas em Macau. Discutiremos, no seio de determinado imaginário social, a imagem se pode ou não converter em estereótipo. Reflectiremos que auto-imagem se transmite nesta obra. Quanto à situação das mulheres, será também trabalhado de acordo com as perspectivas enunciadas por Simon de Beauvoir.
Violência doméstica em “Sinhazinha” (1929) de Afrânio Peixoto
Authors: Rocha Denise , Melo Fernandes João Paulo
Published: August 2020

O propósito deste artigo é apresentar o panorama da vida conjugal no Brasil durante o século XIX, a partir do contexto da violência doméstica descrita na literatura regionalista do escritor baiano Afrânio Peixoto. Para tanto, serão analisados no romance Sinhazinha (1929) duas das micronarrativas que circundam a trama principal do livro ­— as histórias de Pia e da “Cabocla do Catulé” — cujo tema preocupa-se em descrever as relações de amor e ódio que estão presentes nos envolvimentos fatais dos personagens. A perspectiva do estudo relaciona-se ao debate sobre o poder do patriarcado, da supremacia masculina e da submissão feminina segundo as reflexões de Gilberto Freyre (2004), Mary del Priore (2009, 2013, 2016) e Raquel Soihet (2017), entre outros.
Maksuna Brasileira: figurações do imigrante árabe nas narrativas de Salim Miguel
Authors: Silva Ana Cláudia de Oliveira da
Published: August 2020

Embora a imigração de povos de ascendência árabe para o Brasil remonte a 1884, é possível identificar a “aparição fantasmagórica” dessa figura em nossa literatura ainda no período colonial. Posteriormente, na medida em que se consolida o projeto nacional romântico, a figuração[1] do árabe modifica-se em nossas letras, percorrendo o tortuoso caminho da “exotização” à sua assimilação. Até o momento em que ocorre a inserção no cenário literário nacional de descendentes de imigrantes sírios e libaneses, redefinindo e problematizando a imagem unívoca e distante pintada anteriormente. A fim de refletir acerca desse complexo processo, selecionamos alguns momentos importantes da dinâmica de figuração do árabe na literatura brasileira, conferindo especial atenção à representação do imigrante árabe nas narrativas de Salim Miguel. Esse escritor não apenas dialoga com as formas de figuração do sujeito árabe ao longo da tradição literária brasileira, como também problematiza a própria ideia de uma memória única, homogeneizadora e sem fraturas em torno da qual se organiza a identidade nacional.

The main objective of this study is to propose a method for identifying aerodynamic coefficient derivatives of aircraft attitude channel using spiking neural network (SNN) and Gauss-Newton algorithm based on data obtained from actual flights. Out of these, the SNN multi-layer network was trained by Normalized Spiking Error Back Propagation, in which, in the forward propagation period, the time of output spikes is calculating by solving quadratic equations instead of detection by traditional methods. The phase of propagation of errors backward uses the step-by-step calculation instead of the conventional gradient calculation method. SNN in combination with Gauss-Newton iterative calculation algorithm proposed in this study enables the identification of aerodynamic coefficient derivatives in a nonlinear model for aerodynamic parameters with higher accuracy and faster calculation time. The identification results are compared with the results when using the Radial Basis Function (RBF) network to prove the algorithm efficiency.

Abstract Cognition in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) shows large variability. Nonverbal tests can be more suitable for cognitive assessment in this group. We investigated cognitive abilities in ASD using the SON-R 6-40 Nonverbal Intelligence Test. A total of 37 individuals with ASD (AG) aged 6-24 years participated. Cognitive assessment of the AG was done using the SON-R 6-40 and performance compared with the standardized sample which served as the control group (CG). Results showed lower subtest scores in the AG than in the CG. Approximately 84% of the AG had intellectual disability according to IQ scores. Individuals with preserved speech in the AG had higher IQ scores than patients without preserved speech. There was no relationship between intelligence and ASD symptom severity as reported by families.
Extension of the stimulus control produced by three procedures for teaching pseudowords discrimination
Authors: Oliveira Jonathan Melo de , Hanna Elenice Seixas

Abstract This study investigated the effects of pseudoword discrimination training that either required or didn’t require selection responses upon control by stimulus elements and recombination of elements, and upon stimulus observation. Eight undergraduate students were exposed to two conditions with discriminative training and stimulus control test. Condition SEL required selecting the S+, and condition OBS only required observation. Test results suggest that selection responses did not affect control by the elements or the recombination of elements in the pseudowords. Four participants presented restricted stimulus control. This control was extended in the additional DOR condition, which required differential observation of the elements, and was accompanied by increases in S+ observation. Increased stimulus control, promoted by the DOR, should still be evaluated independently of previous teaching conditions.

ABSTRACT: There are no studies that characterize the enteric nervous system (ENS) bats. The organization and density of myenteric neurons may vary according to the animal species, as well as the segment of the digestive tube considered. The nitric oxide is one of the key neurotransmitters present in the myenteric neurons, acting as a mediator in the smooth muscle relaxation. These neurons are evidenced by immunohistochemistry of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) or by NADPH-diaphorase histochemistry. In this sense, this study aimed to characterize the total neuronal population and subpopulation NADPH-d+ of the myenteric plexus present in the jejunum of the insectivore species Molossus rufus quantitatively. Five specimens were collected of M. rufus in a buffer area of the “Reserva Biológica das Perobas” in the microregion of Cianorte/PR. After the euthanasia, in a chamber saturated with isoflurane, segments were collected from the small intestine corresponding to the jejunum intended for two techniques for neuronal marking, Giemsa and NADPH-diaphorase, and a fragment to the histological technique of hematoxylin-eosin and Masson’s trichrome. All the procedures were approved by the “Comitê de Ética no Uso de Animais Unipar” (CEUA - protocol No. 34347/2017) and the “Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade” (ICMBio - protocol No. 60061-1) The histological sections allowed to highlight the location of the myenteric plexus between the longitudinal and circular layers of the muscular tunic. The myenteric plexus had an average of total neuronal population (neurons Giemsa+) of 279.23 neurons/mm2, being the nitrergic neurons (neurons NADPH-d+) represented 20.4% of this total population, with an average of 58.14 neuron/mm2. Therefore, the collected data are consistent with previous studies in other mammalian species concerning the location of the myenteric plexus, as well as the neural myenteric proportion NADPH-d+ compared with the population of neurons Giemsa+. The gaps in the knowledge of ENS of bats limits comparative intraspecific and interspecific studies.

ABSTRACT: The nutria (Myocastor coypus) is a medium-sized, semi-aquatic rodent valued by the skin and meat industry. This study aimed to describe and systematize the caudal cerebral artery on the brain surface in nutria, establishing a standard model and its main variations in this species. The thirty animals used were euthanized according to animal welfare rules. The vessels were filled with latex stained with red pigment and the samples were fixed in formaldehyde. In nutria, the brain was vascularized by the vertebral basilar system. The terminal branches of the basilar artery originated the rostral cerebellar, caudal cerebral, rostral choroidal and middle cerebral arteries, and its terminal branch, the rostral cerebral artery. The terminal branch of the basilar artery projected the caudal cerebral artery, which is usually a single medium-caliber vessel, into the transverse fissure of the brain. The caudal cerebral artery was presented as a single (66.7% of the cases to the right and 76.7% to the left) and double vessel (33.3% of the cases to the right and 23.3% to the left). It originated the rostral mesencephalic artery, the proximal component, and the caudal inter-hemispheric artery. The terminal branches of the rostral and caudal tectal mesencephalic arteries formed a typical anastomotic network. The caudal inter-hemispheric artery emitted central branches, the caudal choroidal artery, hemispherical occipital arteries, rostral tectal mesencephalic branches and distal components, and anastomosed “in osculum” with the terminal branches of the rostral inter-hemispheric artery. The caudal choroidal artery anastomosed with the rostral choroidal artery, where it branched out on the thalamic mass, vascularizing all diencephalic structures and the hippocampus. The caudal cerebral artery and its terminal branches anastomosed with the terminal branches of the rostral and middle cerebral arteries in a restricted region of the caudal pole of the cerebral hemisphere. The vascularization area of the caudal cerebral artery and its central branches in the paleopallial of the piriform lobe is extremely restricted, caudomedially.

ABSTRACT: Icterus (jaundice) is a yellowish pigmentation resulting from the depositing of bilirubin in tissues due to its high plasmatic concentration. The pathogenesis of icterus includes metabolic changes or obstructed bilirubin excretion and it is classified as pre-hepatic, hepatic and post-hepatic. This study aimed to evaluate and classify different causes of icterus in dogs during post mortem examination. These dogs were examined from 2014 to 2017, using macroscopic and histologic exams as well as ancillary tests. Eighty-three dogs were examined macroscopically and microscopically. They were separated into groups of icterus types: 24 (28.9%) dogs had pre-hepatic icterus, 45 (54.2%) had hepatic, 13 (15.7%) pre-hepatic and hepatic and one (1.2%) had post-hepatic icterus. Many factors were identified as a cause of icterus, including infectious agents (51/83), neoplasms (13/83), hepatic degeneration (11/83), chronic hepatic diseases (6/83), and obstructive causes (1/87). Among the infectious causes, leptospirosis, ehrlichiosis and disorders suggestive of septicemia were diagnosed. Neoplasms associated with icterus were cholangiocarcinoma, hemangiosarcoma and lymphoma. Other causes of icterus included degenerative diseases, such as lipidosis and glycogen degeneration. Hepatic fibrosis (cirrhosis) as a chronic disease and cholelithiasis also produced icterus. PCR was performed to confirm leptospirosis and ehrlichiosis. Samples of total DNA were used to amplify a fragment of a gene from Leptospira interrogans and Ehrlichia canis. In some dogs, co-infection of these agents was detected. The classification and identification of icterus etiologies in dogs is very important due to the number of diseases with this alteration, where ante mortem diagnosis is not always easily performed when some of these conditions are present.

ABSTRACT Production and storage environments influence the physiological and sanitary quality of seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the herbicide flumioxazin applied as a preharvest desiccant and storage on the physiological and sanitary quality of adzuki bean seeds. A randomized block design was used in a split-plot scheme, with four replications. Plots consisted of five doses of the herbicide flumioxazin (20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 g ai·ha-1) and subplots consisted of two evaluation times (harvest and six months after harvest). Two controls, with no herbicide application, were tested for each evaluation time. The physiological seed quality was maintained with doses from 25 to 35 g·ha-1 of flumioxazin. Increasing herbicide doses reduced the electrical conductivity of seeds. The increased doses also reduced the percentage of normal seedlings in the first germination count after six months of storage and caused seedling vigor loss. The storage of adzuki bean for six months reduced its physiological quality, leading to losses in germination and seed vigor. Storage and increasing doses of the desiccant flumioxazin reduced the incidence of the pathogens Rhizopus, Cladosporium, and Fusarium in the seeds. The increased doses of this herbicide reduced Aspergillus incidence. Penicillium incidence was not affected by treatments.

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to develop fertility life tables in order to estimate the population parameters of black aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch) in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties, aiming to propose a risk scale for its use. The experiment consisted of six treatments and six replicates (five varieties plus the cultivar VITA 7 as a susceptible control). A cohort was formed with six adult females distributed in six replicates of each genotype, and the insects were observed daily. Based on the data, fertility life tables were drawn for each variety and the population parameters were estimated. The different values of the finite growth rate (λ) were considered to propose a risk scale for the use of the genotypes. The results obtained give the dimension of the variability of V. unguiculata in respect to the character, resistance to A. craccivora, with antibiosis as the main mechanism of resistance. Considering all the results, the varieties studied can be classified according to their suitability as a plant favorable to the development of the black aphid as follows: VITA 7 > CE-13 > CE-51 > CE-08 = CE-07. The proposal of a risk scale for the use of V. unguiculata genotypes against the A. craccivora population, based on the finite growth rate (λ) values, was adequate to discriminate the varieties studied.
