Published: December 2017

For many years the curd cheese has stood out on the table of Brazilian consumers, especially in the Northeast due to its high nutritional value and its good taste and because of that it has been used in numerous dishes of the Northeastern cuisine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of the curd cheese sold at a market garden in the city of Sousa-PB. Twenty curd cheese samples were collected every week during the month of October 2015, in five sales areas at a market garden in the city. Samples were analyzed at the Microbiological Analysis of Foods Laboratory of the Agroindustry sector at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Paraíba, Campus Sousa, having as reference the Resolution of the Collegiate Board (RDC) n ° 12 of the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency. According to the results, the values obtained for total coliforms were considered high in almost all the samples. Regarding coliform, seven out of twenty samples (35%) were above the threshold count allowed by Brazilian law. As for the pathogenic to 65% of the samples presented coagulase positive Staphylococci counts and in 40% the growth of Salmonella sp,it was confirmed. Based on the results obtained,it can be said that these products are being manufactured without the adoption of Good Manufacturing Practices, which a condition that compromises the quality of the product and puts the health of consumers at risk

The aim of the prospective study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of Tamistol and Bifiten in the complex treatment of salpingoophoritis.Patients and methods. The study involved 152 patients of reproductive age with salpingoophoritis. All women were divided into 3 groups: I – 48 patients received traditional therapy; II – 54 patients who received complex anti-inflammatory treatment with vaginal application of a combined drug containing neomycin sulfate 35,000 IU, polymyxin B sulfate 35,000 IU and nystatin 100,000 IU; III – 50 women, each of whom in addition to traditional therapy received Tamistol and the synbiotic Bifiten. The comparative assessment of the effectiveness of treatment was conducted on the basis of regression of women’s complaints and the results of bacteriological research in dynamics.Results. The local application of suppositories Tamistol or combined drug with neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate and nystatin had a pronounced clinical effect in the treatment of salpingooophoritis. However, the use of suppositories of Tamistol and Bifiten capsules were more effective than the use of combined drug to reduce the incidence of dysbiosis (RR 2.01, 95% CI 1.14–3.53, p = 0.02 and RR 4.63, 95% CI 1.43–15.04, p = 0.01), for a higher number of lactobacilli (RR 1.99, 95% CI 1.17–3.40, p = 0.011 and RR 5.45 95% CI 1,71–17,41, p = 0,004) on the 14th and 30th day of the study.Conclusion. Use of suppositories Tamistol and capsules Bifiten was clinically highly effective in the complex therapy of salpingoophoritis. The combination of suppositories Tamistol and Bifiten capsules per os requires further investigation.

Uterine leiomyoma is the most common reproductive system disease in women of fertile age, which takes the leading place in frequency among tumors of the female sexual sphere. It is diagnosed in 20–70% of women of reproductive age. The uterine leiomyoma is still often treated surgically, and is the most common cause of hysterectomies.The article examines the issues of increasing the effectiveness of treatment of uterine leiomyoma and its complications in women of reproductive age by using combined methods of conservative treatment. The results of examination and treatment of 55 patients aged 27–45 with different forms of leiomyoma are presented: intramural nodes (18–32.7%), intramuralsubserous (21–38.3%) and intramural-submucous (16–29.0%). The size of the dominant node varied from 4.5 to 12 cm. Clinical manifestations of leiomyoma was hyperpolimenorrhea (82.3%), lower abdominal pain (34.7%), frequent urination (15%). Also, 86% of women suffered from a decrease in hemoglobin in the blood.In respect of all patients, organ-preserving surgical treatment was planned in connection with the desire of women to giving birth to a child. Patients took ulipristal acetate in a continuous regimen of 5 mg per day and indole-3-carbinol with epigallocatechin-3-gallate 1 tablet 2 times a day for 12 weeks. Women with anemia concurrently with this basic therapy took iron preparations inside.43 (78.3%) women had amenorrhea since the beginning of treatment within a month. The mean decrease in the size of the uterus was 40.7%. After the end of treatment, 49 (89.0%) patients successfully underwent conservative myomectomy, and in 6 (11.0%) patients after the termination of treatment surgical intervention was avoided. During the year after the termination of the course of treatment 13 women became pregnant.In using the combination therapy with ulipristal acetate in combination with indole-3-carbinol and epigallocatechin-3-gallate for 3 months the hemoglobin level was normalized, and the size of the leiomyoma was decreased, which is important for the safe operation. This therapy is a method of choice for the treatment of young women, who intend to exercise their reproductive function.

The article discusses the advisability of using oral estrogens in the treatment of infertility in cycles of auxiliary reproductive technologies in women with a tubal peritoneal factor of infertility. The authors present their own observations and practical experience, which are based on a meta-analysis of global trends concerning the effect of oral estrogens on the state of the endometrium in conducting controlled ovarian stimulation.Described study conduct additional inclusion in the drug supply of the ART program Proginova in a dose of 4 mg per day with the prolongation of the using until 12 weeks of pregnancy, with the purpose of pregnancy and its physiological prolongation in women with tubal peritoneal factor of infertility. The results which we have obtained showed the high effectiveness of the using preparation containing estrogens as a part of complex therapy during the cycles of auxiliary reproductive technologies. It was found that the use of estrogen preparations improved the implantation receptivity of the endometrium, achieved the necessary thickness of the endometrium, improved the pregravidary transformation of the endometrium, prolonged pregnancy, in the presence of the threat of interruption in the early periods (until 12 weeks).At appendix of oral estrogens of the standard hormone therapy in the treatment of infertility by the methods of auxiliary reproductive technologies, the number of onset of biochemical pregnancies, the number of diagnosed clinical pregnancies which were diagnosed during ultrasound, and the number of pregnancies prolonged until the 12th week of pregnancy, significantly increased on comparison with the standard treatment without application of drugs which contain estrogen. All patients had noted the ease of using oral forms of estrogen preparations, the absence of side effects and the convenience of a prescribed hormone therapy regimen in the treatment of infertility.Considering the significant positive effect from application preparation Proginova in the complex scheme of drug support of the program of auxiliary reproductive technologies the high expedience was marked in using it in ART programs as standard scheme pharmacological support of endometrial functionality and prolongation of pregnancy in a period until 12 weeks.

The aim of study. To reveal the peculiarities of mRNA expression of the inflammatory component genes of the immune response in the expected window of the implantation in women with RPL in ART programs.Material and methods. 240 patients with RPL in ART programs and 100 conditionally healthy fertile women in the control group with the presence in history of at least one childbirth in time and the absence of episodes of miscarriage were examined. The average age of the examined women of the main group was 29.80 ± 0.30 years, the control group – 30.09 ± 0.32 (p >0.05). The average number of cases of involuntary termination of pregnancy after conduction of ART in main group was 3.24 ± 0.11, the average term of termination of pregnancy was 8.15 ± 0.65 weeks.All women had a paipel-biopsy of the endometrium during the expected implantation window. Samples were frozen at t = -70 °C. until the study. Reverse transcription -polymerase chain reaction was used to study mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-10, Foxp3, TLR9, IL-2Rα cytokine genes in endometrial biopsy obtained on the day of the implantation window.Results. It was found that the relative level of mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-2, Foxp3, TLR9, IL-2Rα genes did not differ significantly in patients with RPL in the cycles of VRT and control group. A statistically significant decrease in mRNA expression of the IL-10 gene was noted.Conclusion. RPL in the treatment of infertile women in ART programs is associated with changes in the transcription profile of the endometrium during the intended implantation window and with a decrease in the expression level of the IL-10 gene mRNA.

There is a wide spectrum of indications for negative pressure woundtherapy (NPWT) including enterocutaneous fistulas, open abdomen management,abdominal wound dehiscence, open fractures, amputation wounds, sternal woundinfections, vascular bypass site infection and many others.The article shows a case report of a patient with an entero-atmospheric fistulamanaged with NPWT. Control of intestinal contents from an entero-atmosphericfistula with the NPWT minimizes the damage to the healing bed of granulationtissue until the definitive closure of the fistula can be undertaken six to twelve monthslater.

After a laparoscopic gastric bypass and 5 emergency interventions because of leaksat the jejunojenunal anastomosis and complications of the abdominal wall, anentero-atmospheric fistula appeared. This fistula was managed with the NPWTduring two months. In the described case, the application of negative pressuredressing system allowed the management of the entero-atmospheric fistula until itbecame a stoma.

Published: December 2017

Pós de ferrita de bismuto (BiFeO3) foram sintetizados com sucesso mediante o método do precursor polimérico modificado, utilizando como agente quelante, ácido poliacrílico de peso molecular 1800. A morfologia e a estrutura cristalina dos pós obtidos foram analisadas através de difração de raios X, área de superfície especifica BET e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Os resultados indicaram não apenas a redução de fases secundárias a um valor mínimo de aproximadamente 7% em 600 ºC, mas também um menor tamanho de cristalito de 70 nm. Foram também observadas partículas com morfologia tipo agulha, associada à presença da fase Bi25FeO40 no sistema, que com o aumento da temperatura foram notavelmente reduzidas. Com menos presença de fases secundárias, a BiFeO3 obtida neste trabalho possui grande potencial em aplicações na indústria de eletroeletrônicos.
OBTENÇÃO DE ÓXIDO DE CÁLCIO A PARTIR DA CASCA DE OVO DE GALINHA
Authors: Vieira Luísa Arantes Fernandes , Pinho Marianne Diniz , Pinheiro Ivete Peixoto , Da Silva Sidney Nicodemos
Published: December 2017

Diariamente, toneladas de cascas de ovos de galinha são descartadas, gerando um resíduo desvalorizado comercialmente, proveniente de restaurantes, indústria alimentícia e até mesmo residências. A casca de ovo é rica em carbonato de cálcio, um precursor para a obtenção de óxido de cálcio. Comercialmente conhecido como cal, o óxido de cálcio possui maior empregabilidade se comparado a casca de ovo in natura. Atualmente, tem sido utilizado em diversas áreas, como na indústria civil, na indústria de biomanteriais, e na agricultura. A casca adquirida na indústria alimentícia ainda contém elementos orgânicos e por isso precisa ser previamente preparada. Esse estudo demonstra a preparação dessa casca até a referida obtenção do óxido de cálcio. A conversão é viabilizada a partir da realização de um tratamento térmico, chamado calcinação, onde a casca de ovo é submetida a uma temperatura de 850ºC durante uma hora e meia. Durante a calcinação uma reação química ocorre e gás carbônico é liberado, gerando assim, o óxido de cálcio. Foram realizados ensaios de caracterização, como a Difração e Espectometria de Raio X (DRX) e  a Análise Termogravimétrica (TG),  para a certificação do produto final.
INFLUÊNCIA DO TRATAMENTO TÉRMICO PÓS-SOLDAGEM NA MICROESTRUTURA E DUREZA DA ZTA DO AÇO 9%NI PARA APLICAÇÃO OFFSHORE
Authors: Cruz Karen Debora Pinheiro , Mineiro Paloma Estebanez Marques
Published: December 2017

No Pré-sal, o sistema de reinjeção de CO2 aumenta a produtividade dos poços e atinge a temperatura de -95°C na rápida descompressão em caso de falha. Como o sistema está sujeito a condições altamente corrosivas, a soldagem de revestimento dos tubos de aço 9% Ni com superliga de níquel por processo GTAW está sendo estudada. Segundo estudos prévios, o tratamento térmico pós-soldagem (TTPS) é recomendado devido a alta dureza da ZTA. Porém, estudos conforme a norma ASTM A333 grau 8 não atingiram os níveis desejados de dureza. Neste trabalho foram analisados TTPS’s em distintas condições de temperatura e tempo, procurando identificar a que melhor atende à aplicação. Após 40 condições de tratamentos testadas, ensaios de dureza e caracterização por microscopia, verificou-se que a mínima dureza ocorre na condição de duas camadas de revestimento tratada à 600°C por 4h, devido à microestrutura similar ao metal base composta por matriz ferrítica com austenita reversa nos contornos de grãos.

Educação de imigrantes poloneses e a atuação das irmãs da caridade em Irati-Paraná (1930-1938)
Authors: Kruk Fabio
Published: December 2017

Este artigo apresenta a memória sobre a atuação das Irmãs da Caridade na educação dos imigrantes poloneses em Irati-Paraná, entre 1930 e 1938. A Escola Nossa Senhora das Graças, hoje administrada pela Secretaria de Estado da Educação, marcou o início da atuação dessas religiosas no município. As comunidades polonesas investiram recursos próprios para instruir seus filhos e realizar a transmissão dos valores culturais e religiosos aos descendentes. Para tanto, algumas congregações religiosas atuaram com esse propósito, entre elas, as Irmãs Filhas da Caridade de São Vicente de Paulo da Província Polonesa. A Escola Nossa Senhora das Graças teve uma origem étnica e posteriormente foi nacionalizada devido às exigências dos decretos estaduais e federais. A metodologia adotada decorre do uso das fontes orais, escritas e iconográficas como registros da memória que apresentam pistas para narrar uma história e constituir um “saber venatório” da educação dos filhos dos poloneses e da relação das irmãs com esses imigrantes.

Published: December 2017

Objectives. To examine elevated blood lead levels (EBLLs) in refugee children by postrelocation duration with control for several covariates.

Methods. We assessed EBLLs (≥ 5µg/dL) between 2012 and 2016 of children younger than 15 years (n = 1950) by the duration of resettlement to health screening by using logistic regression, with control for potential confounders (gender, region of birth, age of housing, and intestinal infestation) in a cross-sectional study.

Results. Prevalence of EBLLs was 11.2%. Length of time from resettlement to health screening was inversely associated with EBLLs (tertile 2 unadjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.56, 1.12; tertile 3 OR = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.42, 0.90; tertile 2 adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.39, 0.97; tertile 3 AOR = 0.57; 95% CI = 0.34, 0.93). There was a significant interaction between intestinal infestation and age of housing (P < .003), indicating significant risk in the joint exposure of intestinal infestation (a pica proxy) and age of house.

Conclusions. Elevated blood lead levels were reduced with increasing length of time of resettlement in unadjusted and adjusted models. Improved housing, early education, and effective safe-house inspections may be necessary to address EBLLs in refugees.
Trends in Illicit Cigarette Use in Brazil Estimated From Legal Sales, 2012–2016

Published: December 2017

Objectives. To estimate the proportions of illicit cigarette consumption in Brazil from 2012 to 2016, a period of sharp increases in cigarette taxes.

Methods. We used an approach based on legal sales provided by the Secretariat of Federal Revenues and self-reported consumption data from an annually conducted telephone survey (VIGITEL) to estimate the changes over time in illegal cigarette use in Brazil. For that purpose, we also used available information on the proportion of illegal cigarette consumption from a nationwide household survey conducted in 2013 to calculate a constant proportion of underreporting from VIGITEL in relation to total consumption and sales in Brazil.

Results. There was an increase in the estimated proportion of illicit cigarette use from 2012 to 2013 (from 28.6% to 32.3%), then a decrease from 2013 to 2014 (32.3% to 28.8%), and then a sustained trend of increase from 2014 to 2016 (28.8% to 42.8%).

Conclusions. Novel and feasible approaches to estimate changes over time in the illegal market are important for helping the effective implementation of tobacco excise tax policy.

Background:

Disruption of the arterial supply to the femoral head, and subsequent development of femoral head osteonecrosis, is of serious concern with intracapsular hip procedures. However, the effect of arthroscopic femoral osteochondroplasty on femoral head perfusion is unknown. We aimed to quantify the effects of both standard and posterosuperior extension of arthroscopic femoral osteochondroplasty on femoral head vascularity. We hypothesized that extension of the superior resection zone posteriorly would negatively affect femoral head perfusion.

Methods:

In 12 cadaveric pelvic specimens, we cannulated the medial femoral circumflex artery (MFCA). One hip per pelvis was randomly selected to be in 1 of 2 experimental groups based on the superior extent of the osteochondroplasty: standard resection (resection anterior to the 12 o’clock [0° of 360°] position) or extended resection (resection extended posterior to the 12 o’clock position). Computed tomography (CT) scans were obtained prior to and following arthroscopic resection to delineate the resection margins. Gadolinium enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was quantified in the femoral head by volumetric analysis using custom software. A polyurethane compound was injected and gross dissection of the vasculature was performed.

Results:

Extension of the osteochondroplasty posteriorly (the extended-resection group), to a mean of 41.3° (range, 34° to 47°) posterior to the 12 o’clock position, decreased femoral head perfusion by a mean of 28% (range, 18% to 38%). The standard-resection group demonstrated a mean decrease in femoral head perfusion of 7% (range, 4% to 11%). Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant negative correlation (correlation coefficient, −0.877; p < 0.001; R2 = 0.747). For every 1° that the superior resection margin extended posteriorly, a corresponding 0.88% decrease in femoral head perfusion was found.

Conclusions:

Femoral head perfusion is almost fully maintained with arthroscopic osteochondroplasty when the superior resection margin is anterior to the 12 o’clock position. Perfusion is also well maintained if the superior resection margin is extended no more than 10° posterior to 12 o’clock. Further posterior extension correlated with greater decreases in femoral head perfusion.

Clinical Relevance:

Our study provides previously unreported quantitative MRI data on femoral head perfusion following arthroscopic femoral osteochondroplasty for the treatment of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement.
Validation of Coiled-Tubing Penetration Predictions in Horizontal Wells
Authors: van Adrichem Willem , Newman K. R.
Published: December 2017

Coiled Tubing (CT) is being used increasingly for servicing highly deviated (including horizontal) wells as the number of these wells increases. Services typically performed with either electric line or slick line are often performed using CT because the rigidity of the CT allows it to be pushed into the highly deviated section of the well. Services typically performed with drill pipe or conventional tubing are often performed using CT to avoid the costs associated with a rig. The services currently being run in highly deviated wells include:LoggingPerforatingSetting and retrieving plugsOpening/closing sliding sleevesFishingFill removalDrillingMatrix acidizing and acid wash

There are several questions which need to be answered when designing a CT operation in a highly deviated well. These questions include: How far can the CT safely penetrate and push tools into the deviated section?How can the operator be confident during the operation that the CT is being pushed into the well and not becoming bent in the well?How much weight can the CT apply to either a drill bit or any other downhole tool at a point in the deviated section?

To answer these questions, a tubing forces model (TFM) was developed specifically for CT. This paper describes this model and it has been validated using measured data from jobs performed in highly deviated wells.

Immanenz in der Physik
Authors: Traxler Tanja
Published: December 2017

In diesem Aufsatz wird die Geschichte der Raumkonzepte in der Physik im Kontext von transzendenten und immanenten Konzepten präsentiert. Kurz gesagt postulieren transzendente Konzepte Raum als umgebende Metastruktur, um materielle Objekte zu organisieren. Immanente Raumkonzepte existieren dagegen nicht unabhängig von den Objekten, sondern ergeben sich aus ihren Bezügen. In dieser Analyse wird sichtbar, dass transzendente Charakterisierungen des Raumes in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten in der Physik dominierend waren, während immanente Raumkonzepte erst seit der Entwicklung der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie aufgekommen sind. Die Bedeutung von Immanenz in der Physik abseits der Relativitätstheorie ist noch nicht hinreichend erschlossen. Im Gegensatz zum klassischen Framework von absoluten und relativen Beschreibungen des Raums, erlauben die Begriffe von Transzendenz und Immanenz eine komplementäre Raumkonzeption, die Elemente beider verbindet.
Figurations of Immanence
Authors: Schäfer Elisabeth
Published: December 2017

If anything, Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy, makes all living beings, including the human subjects, very much ‘part of nature’. Calling for an embodied philosophy of radical immanence marks the start of a bodily philosophy of relations. The body in this perspective is a relation to what is not itself. It is basically a movement or an activity. Could certain processes of writing be described as immanent to such movements or activities?
Laruelle, Immanence, and Performance: What Does Non-Philosophy Do?
Authors: Ó Maoilearca John
Published: December 2017

François Laruelle’s ‘non-philosophical’ practice is connected to its performative language, such that to the question 'what is it to think?, non-philosophy responds that thinking is not “thought”, but performing. Non-philosophy is equally described by Laruelle as ‘transcendental practice’, an ‘immanent pragmatics’, or a ‘universal pragmatics’ that is ‘valid for ordinary language as well as for philosophy:’ He insists that we look at ‘that-which-I-do-in-saying and not just what I say’ – for the latter is simply what happens when thought is ‘taken hold of again by philosophy.’ Resisting this hold, non-philosophy performs re-descriptions of philosophy that, in doing so, produce effects on how philosophical texts are seen. All the same, it is notable that Laruelle objects to the focus on activity within the concept of a speech act, and instead emphasizes the ‘descriptive passivity’ that an immanent pragmatics obliges; statements that manifest ‘by their very existence what they must describe in the last instance – statements identically descriptive and performative.’ What Laruelle calls a ‘Performed-Without-Performation’ would be an action of the Real, or the ‘in-One’ – philosophical language seen as a performed without we using this or any language to perform. In this essay, this complex thought is compared with certain concepts and practices of performance that do not come from philosophy so explicitly (Allan Kaprow’s, Richard Schechner’s and Michael Kirby’s especially), but may well offer a key to understanding this passive action of the Real.

It is a reader consisting of key passages on immanence by Gilles Deleuze, Baruch de Spinoza, Giorgio Agamben, Henri Bergson, François Laruelle, Antonin Artaud and Friedrich Nietzsche. The reader was put together by Arno Böhler and Elisabeth Schäfer, and a collage of its content arranged by Susanne Valerie Granzer, who read out these text fragments at the start of the conference. Her reading was sporadically interrupted by Alice Lagaay, whose comments served to draw lines of connection between the dense theoretical texts and the performative immanent context in which they were being read and digested—the context of the conference. We present here the readings and their lighthearted—and at times deadly serious—commentary as performed. Readers are invited to imagine and re-enact the live-ness of this event, letting their own comments, questions and musings interrupt the proposed interruptions of reading.
Equalizing Theatre and Philosophy: Laruelle, Badiou, and gestures of authority in the philosophy of theatre
Authors: Cull Ó Maoilearca Laura
Published: December 2017

In this article I engage François Laruelle’s notion of ‘non-standard’ aesthetics to provide a critical perspective on Alain Badiou’s various pronouncements on the philosophy of theatre. Whilst in works such as In Praise of Theatre (2015), Badiou initially appears magnanimous in relation to theatre’s own thinking, and indeed to demote the function of philosophy in relation to an ontological privilege now accorded (by him) to set theory, I will argue that this very benevolence, from a Laruellian perspective, constitutes another form of philosophical authoritarianism. That is, whilst Badiou famously describes theatre as ‘an event of thought’ that ‘directly produces ideas’ (Badiou 2005a, 72), this article draws from Laruelle to suggest that he ultimately positions himself as the authority on what ‘counts as theatre properly speaking’ (Badiou 2013, 109); performatively positioning his own thought as normative exception and as the gatekeeper to that exception.
Nietzsche: An Immanentist?
Authors: Sommer Andreas Urs
Published: December 2017

My paper consists of three chapters. The first chapter deals with the concept of Nietzsche’s usage of “immanence;” I will be tracing his usage of this term. My second point is a more general one. I would like to focus on the question as to whether it is possible for Nietzsche to have a strong concept of immanence, particularly when we recall that Nietzsche clearly formulates his strong opposition to all ideas of transcendence. Might any immanence at all be retained here? The third chapter contains an in-depth examination of two sections of Beyond Good and Evil, Sections 3 and 6. I think we are able to note some important aspects in these passages as we seek to understand whether Nietzsche has any kind of idea or concept of immanence.
On the causality analysis of the correlation between financial leverage and systematic risk: evidence from Indonesian Stock Exchange
Authors: Qizam Ibnu
Published: December 2017

This research is aimed at analyzing the causality puzzle on the correlation between financial leverage and systematic risk (beta). Financial leverage and beta are usually considered as two proxies of risk derived from different domains: one ends at financial decision outcome, and the other points to market. Cross-sectionally, this result does not support the moderating-variable impact of size on the relation between financial leverage and systematic risk. On the other hand, however, the moderating-variable impact of industry and operating leverage (to some extent) on the relation between financial leverage and systematic risk were well documented. Inter-temporally, financial leverage is significantly and symmetrically related to beta, not moderated by size and operating leverage. This means that the two variables show bidirectional causality. This study contributes to the new insight that financial leverage and beta are the two variables with bidirectional causality, showing that in the long run, risks from fundamental (financial/micro-economy) and from market (macro-economy) are tightly linked to each other inter-temporally.

Nagypolgári és nemesi leánygyermek-ábrázolás a Millennium korának társasági festészetében
Authors: Támba Renátó
Published: December 2017

Tanulmányomban a nagypolgári és nemesi leánygyermek-ábrázolás dualizmuskori gyakorlatában fellelhető gyermekszemléleti mintázatok feltárására vállalkozom a társasági festészet vonatkozásában, Vastagh György, Innocent Ferenc és László Fülöp leányportréira összpontosítva. Elemzéseim során a könyvemben (Támba, 2017, pp. 79–122) vázolt kutatásmódszertani eljárást követem. A képelemzések struktúráját Erwin Panofsky (1955) ikonográfiai-ikonológiai modellje, illetve annak a Mietzner & Pilarczyk (2013, p. 36) szerzőpáros által továbbgondolt változata adja, a társadalmi tudat- és tapasztalatformák feltárására irányuló szemléletmódot Norbert Schneider (é. n.) munkái szolgáltatják, az elemzés társadalomtudományi irányultságú szempontjait pedig Sztompka (2009) és Goffman (1956) nyújtják. Írásomban arra a kérdésre keresem a választ, hogy a festők milyen külsődleges jegyekkel, önreprezentációs eszközökkel (ld. Goffman, 1956, pp. 10–14), létmotívumokkal, létmetaforákkal és szimbólumokkal érzékeltették az ábrázoltakra vonatkozó gyermekkép és gyermekfelfogás (ld. Pukánszky, 2005, pp. 9–10) jegyeit.

Mambalgins, the Venom-origin Peptides as a Potentially Novel Group of Analgesics: Mini Review
Authors: Brzezicki Maksymilian Aleksander , Zakowicz Przemyslaw Temistokles
Published: December 2017

Background:

Despite a wide variety of current analgesia regimens, chronic pain is an incredibly
difficult condition to treat. Its pathophysiology, initiation, development and course involve a
range of different receptors and transmitters. The acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are being attributed
to an increasingly larger significance in pain aetiology. Over the last few years, the mechanism of
ASICs action, influence of their antagonists/agonists and clinical applications have been well described.
However, the importance of this protein is significantly larger, not only from the perspective
of pain management, but also in psychiatry of addiction or fear. Recently discovered peptides from
three-finger toxin group, called mambalgins (isolated from Dendroaspis polylepis polylepsis) exhibit
potent analgesic mechanisms of action on ASICs in animal model.

Aims & Methods:

The article reviews current knowledge in the field of mambalgins and assesses their
potential analgesic application, based on the recent experimental evidence.

Results:

The mambalgins seem to decrease the intensity of the inflammatory, neuropathic and mechanic
pain. This has been demonstrated in animal studies of different pain models, including carrageenan-
induced inflammatory pain, chronic constrictive injury-induced neuropathic pain and thermal
pain. The mechanism of mambalgin action is not clearly defined, but it is suspected that they bind
directly to the pH-sensitive region of the ASIC.

Conclusion:

In this short review, we attempted to summarise the current knowledge about mambalgins
and their potential applications as a new substance in searching for the ideal analgesia without
common side effects of the other drug groups.

L’auctorialité dans Marzi, une bande dessinée autobiographique en collaboration
Authors: Glaude Benoît
Published: December 2017

For twelve years the autobiographical character Marzi has been growing up through short comics stories in the Spirou magazine, created in Belgium and France by a French artist, Sylvain Savoia and a Polish writer, Marzena Sowa. Realized through collaboration, such an autobiography opens up a grey area for questions concerning authorship. It shatters the notion that autobiography in comics has to be the individual work of a 'complete' author. This article considers the reception of Marzi's authorship through internal and external perspectives, starting with the publication context of the weekly Spirou and ending with close readings of the autobiographical work. In rendering complex the autobiographical equation suggested by literary scholar Philippe Lejeune, protagonist=narrator=author, the case of Marzi shows that fictive agents such as the 'méga-narrateur' and the author are, above all, activated during the reading of the work.  Depuis douze ans, le personnage autobiographique Marzi grandit dans le journal de Spirou, au fil de brefs récits de bande dessinée réalisés en Belgique ou en France par un dessinateur français, Sylvain Savoia, et une scénariste polonaise, Marzena Sowa. Une telle autobiographie, réalisée en collaboration, constitue un cas limite pour les questions d’auctorialité, elle bouscule l’idée que l’autobiographie en BD doit être l’œuvre solitaire d’un « auteur complet ». Cet article envisage la réception de l’auctorialité de Marzi de points de vue externes et internes, en partant du contexte de publication de l’hebdomadaire Spirou, pour aboutir à des microlectures de l’œuvre autobiographique. En complexifiant l’équation autobiographique posée par le poéticien Philippe Lejeune, héros = narrateur = auteur, le cas de Marzi montre que les instances fictives du méga-narrateur et de l’auteur constituent avant tout des faits de réception activés par l’œuvre.
“Things are Complicated”: Paul Cornell at Marvel and DC
Authors: Flanagan Martin
Published: December 2017

Paul Cornell’s work for the ‘Big Two’ U.S. comic publishers transfers a distinctly British (mostly English) sensibility into a field where cues normally revolve around American cultural iconography and values. The key to his authorship is Cornell’s homespun method which, unlike 1970s and 1980s efforts of Marvel’s UK wing that transplanted American characters into a postcard-like Britain, explores a British dimension of the Marvel Universe that offers a challenge to the codes of that realm. Whether working with established heroes such as Captain Britain, twists on archetypes like Knight and Squire (English analogues of Batman and Robin), or superheroic ‘big guns’ like Wolverine, Cornell writes against tired, automatic canonicity. This paper mainly focuses on the directly British representations in the Cornell titles Captain Britain and MI-13 (2008-9) and Knight and Squire (2010).
