Morphologic analysis and Neotype designation of the Raspthorn sandskate, Psammobatis scobina, from its type locality
Authors: Fuentes-Fuentes Pamela , Mabragaña Ezequiel , Concha Francisco
Published: October 2022

The genus Psammobatis is endemic to South America, and three of its species are sympatric along the Chilean coast. Their morphological similarity as well as the lack of type material of P. scobina, has made its taxonomic identification especially complex. The aim of this work is to allow for objective identification and comparisons of P. scobina, providing a new morphological characterization, incorporating both morphometric and meristic features for both sexes, and designating a Neotype. Morphometric and meristic data are presented separately for the Neotype, and for males and females to determine variability between sexes. Although there is overlap between some morphometric features of males and females, there are also some morphometric measures that differed between sexes among specimens of similar sizes, such as disc width, length of posterior pelvic lobe, preoral length, distance between fifth gill slits and distance from cloaca to second dorsal fin. Additionally, Principal Component Analysis and cluster analyses allowed to identify sexual dimorphism in specimens, with the most influential variables related to tail length. There are several unresolved issues regarding the taxonomy of this problematic genus, especially those regarding P. scobina and P. normani, which are sympatric in the southeastern Pacific. In addition to the analysis of skeletal structures and egg cases, an integrative comparative morphometric analysis, based on a recent standardized methodology with the inclusion of both morphological and molecular data, is still needed. The designation of a Neotype for objective comparative purposes, will allow such future study.
Size structure and length-length relationships for two shark species (Chondrichthyes: Carcharhiniformes) from an artisanal fishery in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Southern Mexico
Authors: Celaya-Castillo Cristina , Romero-Berny Emilio I. , López-Vila Jesús M. , Arias-Aréchiga Juan P.
Published: October 2022

This paper presents size structure by sex and length-length relationships for Carcharhinus falciformis and Sphyrna lewini caught by an artisanal fishery in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico. According to a local processing practice in this fishery, when sharks are landed, their jaws are removed but not their heads. The orbit-fork length was evaluated as a basis for estimating total length. A good fit (r2 > 0.9) of linear regression models for length-length relationships was calculated for both species. Overall data showed that this area is an important habitat for juvenile sharks, and standardizing measurements is proposed to better characterize the catch structure.

The main objective of this research is to study the achievement of their mathematical self-esteem, as a result of Project-based Learning (PBL) and Conventional Learning (CL). This research is conducted mathematical self-esteem to be possessed by students, but in reality shows their self-esteem are still low. This research used quasi experimental methods. The population of this study is students of State Junior High Schools in Bandung City, West Java Province. The sample comprises the students of grade VIII. One class as an experimental group that received PBL learning and another class as a control group that received CL learning. The instruments used in this study are Prior Mathematical Knowledge (PMK) worksheet and mathematical self-esteem scale. The results indicate that: (1) the achievement of mathematical self-esteem of  the students who received PBL learning is better than the students who received CL learning; (2) there is no interaction effect between learning model and PMK on the achievement of students' mathematical self-esteem.
Muscle Usage and Workload Assessment of Cardiac Ablation Procedure with the Use of a Novel Catheter Torque Tool in a Pediatric Simulator
Authors: Mass Paige , Kumthekar Rohan N. , Clark Bradley , Opfermann Justin D. , Sherwin Elizabeth , DiBiase Luigi , Berul Charles I.
Published: October 2022

Background: Cardiac ablation catheters are small in diameter
and pose ergonomic challenges that can affect catheter stability.
Significant finger dexterity and strength are necessary to maneuver them
safely. We evaluated a novel torque tool to reduce muscle activation
when manipulating catheters and improve perceived workload of ablation
tasks. The objective was to evaluate measurable success, user perception
of workload, and muscle usage when completing a simulated ablation task
with and without the use of a catheter torque tool.

Methods: Cardiology attendings and fellows were fitted with
surface electromyographic (EMG) sensors on 6 key muscle groups in the
left hand and forearm. A standard ablation catheter was inserted into a
pediatric cardiac ablation simulator and subjects navigated the catheter
tip to 6 specific electrophysiologic targets, including a 1-min
simulated radiofrequency ablation lesion. Time to complete the task,
number of attempts required to complete the lesion, and EMG activity
normalized to percentage of maximum voluntary contraction were collected
throughout the task. The task was completed 4 times, twice with and
twice without the torque tool, in semi-randomized order. A NASA Task
Load Index survey was completed by the participant at the conclusion of
each task.

Results: Time to complete the task and number of attempts to
create a lesion were not altered by the tool. Subjectively, participants
reported a significant decrease in physical demand, effort, and
frustration, and a significant increase in performance. Muscle
activation was decreased in 4 of 6 muscle groups.

Conclusion: The catheter torque tool may improve the perceived
workload of cardiac ablation procedures and reduce muscle fatigue caused
by manipulating catheters. This may result in improved catheter
stability and increased procedural safety
Trauma focused legal advocacy
Authors: Khan Sharjeel
Published: October 2022

Trauma is a widespread, harmful and costly public health problem. It occurs as a result of violence, abuse, neglect, loss, disaster, war and other emotionally harmful experiences. Trauma has no boundaries with regard to age, gender, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, geography or sexual orientation. It is an almost universal experience of people with mental and substance use disorders. The need to address trauma is increasingly viewed as an important component of effective behavioral health service delivery. Additionally, it has become evident that addressing trauma requires a multi-pronged, multi-agency public health approach inclusive of public education and awareness, prevention and early identification, and effective trauma-specific assessment and treatment The effects of traumatic events place a heavy burden on individuals, families and communities and create challenges for public institutions and service systems. Although many people who experience a traumatic event will go on with their lives without lasting negative effects, others will have more difficulty and experience traumatic stress reactions. Emerging research has documented the relationships among exposure to traumatic events, impaired neurodevelopmental and immune systems responses and subsequent health risk behaviors resulting in chronic physical or behavioral health disorders.
Magnetic Field and Agriculture Sustainability
Authors: Raza Ali
Published: October 2022

Agriculture's sustainability depends on the need to use practices and technologies that are environmentally friendly and have no bad impact on the environment, are cost-effective and easily accessible to farmers, resulting in overall food productivity enhancement. Novel advanced techniques are required that integrate ecological and biological procedures to enhance food production and reduce the use of non-renewable resources, which are harmful to the environment and the health of individuals. The earth's magnetic field (MF) is one of the inevitable environmental factors affecting plant growth and yield. Because the MF technique is environmentally friendly, produces no waste, requires no power supply, and does not emit harmful radiation, it can be used for agricultural sustainability.

Streptococcus constellatus are gram-positive cocci belonging to the Streptococcus milleri group that have a propensity to cause bacteremia and abscesses, especially in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report the case of a 39-year-old male who was initially admitted to the hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis. During the hospitalization, he developed sepsis and blood cultures grew Streptococcus constellatus. CT imaging revealed multiple hepatic abscesses. A periapical abscess of the left mandibular central incisor found on CT Scan of face was identified as the likely source of infection. IR-guided drainage was performed however the patient went on to develop septic shock despite attempted source control and IV antibiotic therapy. Repeat imaging showed persistent hepatic abscesses in addition to new intraperitoneal abscesses necessitating exploratory laparotomy, drainage and abdominal washout. Fluid cultures grew Streptococcus constellatus and common enteric flora. Our report highlights the need for high clinical suspicion in cases of Streptococcus constellatus bacteremia to obtain diagnostic imaging for any abscess formation. Prolonged antibiotic therapy is a must and imaging guided or surgical drainage may be needed.

Authors:   Korean Academy of Integrated Care Management, Kim Sook-Nam , Kim So-Young , Jo Myoung-Ju
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study was to provide a basic practices reference for establishing a home life end of life caring system based on the community in the super-aging era, by confirming the degree of the demand for the caring at the end of the life of the elderly residing in the community as well as the attitude regarding the prior life-prolonging medical treatment decision. Regarding the collection of the data, a questionnaire survey investigation was conducted with a research assistant of 1,310 elderly age 65. Regarding the data collected, by using the SPSS 26.0 program, it was analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, the one-way ANOVA, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. Regarding the degree of the demand for the caring at the end of life in the home life of the elderly, the mean score for degree of demand was 4.09 that was higher than the middle. Additionally, the support demand for the safety promotion was the highest. The mean score regarding the attitude, in relation to the prior life-prolonging medical treatment decision was 2.98. Also, the two variables showed a positive correlation. Based on the results, regarding the system for the caring at the end of life for the elderly who had been living at home in the future, a caring system that reflects the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual demand in an integral way is needed. Additionally, the education as well as counseling regarding the prior life-prolonging medical treatment decision for guaranteeing the autonomy of the elderly, must be included indispensably.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study was to identify paths towards developing elder abuse prevention, through an in-depth exploration of the experiences of persons engaged in statutory compulsory education.
Seven working-level workers, including elderly welfare facilities, long-term care institutions, and multicultural health family support centers, were recruited considering areas with a high reporting rate as well as a low participation rate in prevention education among 17 job groups obligated to report.
Data were collected through unstructured in-depth interviews and analyzed, using constant comparative methods as the qualitative data analysis methods. As a result, five topics and 24 subtopics were derived, as the basis for meaningful statements. The five topics were ① the perception of elder abuse prevention education, ② effectiveness of elder abuse prevention education, ③ an education method with clear advantages and disadvantages, ④ obstacles to activating prevention education, and ⑤ paths towards improving effectiveness. Based on the results derived, an activation plan to increase the effectiveness of elder abuse prevention education is suggested.
Effects of temperature on physicochemical properties of the lecithin based deep eutectic solvents and their use in the CaO-catalyzed transesterification

Published: October 2022

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are called 'designer solvents' due to various structural variations and the benefit of tailoring their physicochemical properties. For industrial applications of DESs it is crucial to know their physical and thermodynamic properties such as density, viscosity, and refractive index. These properties were measured for three lecithin (LEC)-based DESs with glycerol (G), triethanolamine (TEOA), and oleic acid (OLA) as functions of temperature. The viscosity was fitted by both Arrhenius-type and Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher equations. The density, viscosity, and refractive index of tested DESs decreased with the increase in temperature. The LEC:G DES exhibited the lowest density at all tested tempe-ratures. This DES was selected as a cosolvent in the ethanolysis of cold-pressed black mustard (Brassica nigra L.) seed oil catalyzed by either calcined or non-calcined CaO. The reaction was carried out in a batch stirred reactor under the following conditions: the temperature of 70 ?C, the ethanol-to-oil molar ratio of 12:1, and the amount of DES and CaO of 20 and 10 wt.% (to oil), respectively. The presence of DES accelerated the reaction, while the separation of the final reaction mixture phases was faster.

Published: October 2022

In the present investigation, the application of an organic coprecipitant, 2-[5,6-dichloro-2-(2-bromobenzyl)-1H-benzimidazole-1-yl]acetohydrazide (DIBBA), for separation and preconcentration of Cu(II) ions in fruit and water samples through a new carrier element free coprecipitation (CEFC) method was researched for the first time. Flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS) was used for the analyses of Cu(II) ions. The main effective experimental factors such as solution pH, DIBBA quantity, waiting time, centrifuge speed and duration and volume of sample on the recovery efficiency of Cu(II) ions were explored in detail. Under the optimized conditions the preconcentration factor (PF), relative standard deviation (RSD), and limits of detection (LOD) was achieved as 50, 3.4 % and 0.44 ?g L-1, respectively. No interference effects were detected by virtue of the presence of various foreign ions. Satisfactory recoveries (in the range of 94.4 to 103.0 %) in the environmental sample matrix were acquired. After being validated the recommended selective, low cost, simple and rapid CEFC method by spike/recovery tests, it was properly implemented for the low levels detection of Cu(II) ions in sour cherry, mulberry, apple, and peach as fruit samples and stream and sea water samples without any significant matrix effects.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the impact of CamAPS FX hybrid closed-loop (HCL) automated insulin delivery in very young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on caregivers’ well-being, fear of hypoglycemia, and sleepiness.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a multinational, open-label, randomized crossover study. Children (age 1–7 years) with T1D received treatment for two 4-month periods in random order, comparing HCL with sensor augmented pump (control). At baseline and after each treatment period, caregivers were invited to complete World Health Organization–Five Well-Being Index, Hypoglycemia Fear Survey, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaires.

RESULTS

Caregivers of 74 children (mean ± SD age 5 ± 2 years and baseline HbA1c 7.3 ± 0.7%; 42% female) participated. Results revealed significantly lower scores for hypoglycemia fear (P < 0.001) and higher scores for well-being (P < 0.001) after HCL treatment. A trend toward a reduction in sleepiness score was observed (P = 0.09).

CONCLUSIONS

Our results suggest better well-being and less hypoglycemia fear in caregivers of very young children with T1D on CamAPS FX HCL.

O espanto da luz e a inocência da carne - (a poesia de Sophia de Mello Breyner e de Adélia Prado)
Authors: Bingemer Maria Clara
Published: October 2022

Este texto procura aproximar e, mais ainda, fazer dialogar a poesia da portuguesa Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen com a da brasileira Adélia Prado. Ambas são mulheres, casadas e mães de família.  Ambas escrevem em língua portuguesa, uma em Portugal e outra no Brasil.  Ambas levam em sua poesia a marca inegável da Transcendência e da aliança entre divino e humano. Sua experiência vital feita poesia, porém tem pontos de diferenciação estilística importante.  Enquanto Sophia é iluminada por um permanente deslumbramento com a beleza da criação e do mundo que a rodeia, Adélia é alguém cuja poesia reflete a consciência profunda da corporeidade, da carne.  A poética de Sophia é impregnada de natureza, sentimentos, odores, mitos. A de Adélia de desejo sexual, corporeidade gozosa ou ferida, dureza pontiaguda da luta pela vida.
Encuentros con las figuras paternas en el camino de Dante hacia el Padre en la Divina Comedia
Authors: Baya Casal Pedro
Published: October 2022

En el itinerario de Dante de la oscuridad hacia la luz las figuras paternas van jalonando su camino en una progresividad cada vez mayor. De cada encuentro de Dante con estas figuras paternas que han configurado su identidad rescatamos dos elementos: el recuerdo del origen y la predicción del futuro. Estos elementos (origen y destino) configuran la verdad de la vida del poeta. Por este motivo, estas dos características de los encuentros con las figuras paternas nos invitan a pensar en la cercanía entre el encuentro con el Padre y al mismo tiempo con la Verdad. El encuentro con las figuras paternas y finalmente con el Padre, anticipa y revela,  “en el medio del camino”, la verdad de su vida.

          Podemos agregar a esta primera observación la presencia de la Ciudad en estos encuentros: las figuras paternas refieren siempre a la descripción de la ciudad como ámbito de la vida común. Padre y patria como tierra de los padres aparecen en estrecho vínculo en los encuentros de Dante.

Published: October 2022

Los trabajos que se presentan a continuación están agrupados bajo el rótulo “La salvación y sus rostros: teopoéticas del mal y la redención” en el intento de leer una realidad –el mal– que parece nuestra sombra inseparable, así como de leer una esperanza –la salvación– que apunta a un cumplimiento en plenitud, de acuerdo con la Promesa de la cual somos herederos. Una realidad y una esperanza que indagamos según su traducción en la palabra literaria. Y es que confiamos en que la literatura de ficción traduce nuestros deseos y dolores, nuestros silencios e incertidumbres, y todo lo que quizá podamos denominar otredad: aquello otro constitutivo de lo humano.

En este escrito se discuten los alcances que tiene el denominado problema evidencial del mal en la comprensión del sufrimiento como un caso de mal horrendo. Se trata, fundamentalmente, de discutir en qué sentido el sufrimiento (por ejemplo el sufrimiento animal) estaría epistémicamente justificado, lo que evitaría se entienda ese sufrimiento como mal gratuito y mal horrendo. Esta alternativa es descartada.
Nenhum nome serve para dizer o fogo
Authors: Cappelli Marcio
Published: October 2022

O artigo quer explorar a hipótese de que a poesia de José Tolentino Mendonça mantém uma relação com o universo da espiritualidade, ou, dito de modo mais específico, a ideia de que a própria poesia pode ser entendida como um exercício espiritual. Para dar a ver essa característica da poesia de José Tolentino Mendonça, percorreremos o seguinte caminho: 1) procuraremos oferecer um panorama contextual resumido de sua obra poética, ressaltando, com auxílio da fortuna crítica, a sua relação com a religião; 2) buscaremos mostrar, especialmente a  partir de um ensaio recente, como o próprio José Tolentino Mendonça aproxima a experiência poética da espiritualidade; 3) e, por fim, como isso se reflete de maneira evidente em alguns poemas. Desse modo, pretende-se evidenciar que a poesia do autor se constrói num movimento de apropriação da tradição espiritual cristã em modo de “torção”, como um esforço de despojamento e reconhecimento da fragilidade e dos potenciais dos poemas para dizer o indizível.
Rostros del mal y poética de salvación al sur de América
Authors: Bingemer Maria Clara
Published: October 2022

En esta comunicación buscaremos ver como la estética en sus diversas formas alimenta la expresión de la fe a través de los siglos, sea alabando la maravilla de la creación, cantando la bondad de Dios, pero igualmente denunciando el mal en todas sus insidiosas formas, proclamando como Dios libera y salva de todas las formas de este mal.

Veremos como los rostros del mal y de la salvación se revelaron en un determinado período de la historia reciente de la América Latina y como la Iglesia post Conciliar, que hizo la recepción del Concilio a partir del evento de la II Conferencia del Episcopado latinoamericano, en Medellín, Colombia, en 1968, reconoció esas expresiones teopoéticas como legítimas y dignas de figurar al lado de la liturgia, la teología y el lenguaje eclesial. Concluiremos viendo como estas experiencias revelan algo igualmente sobre la misión del teólogo en cuanto teopoeta y cantor del misterio de Dios.
Cualidad y desafíos de la comunión
Authors: Avenatti de Palumbo Cecilia
Published: October 2022

El propósito de esta exposición es hacer memoria cordial del espíritu con el que se fundó este espacio de diálogo interdisciplinario entre la literatura y la teología que hoy es la Alalite. Recordar es reunir en el presente del corazón los pasos recorridos y es, a la vez, imaginar nuevos horizontes. La simbólica del viaje que nos propone Dante en su Divina Comedia –a quien se han referido mis colegas en el panel de socios argentinos- ha guiado también mi reflexión. Poeta y teólogo de la misericordia, la esperanza y la libertad –como lo definió el papa Francisco en la Carta apostólica Candor lucis aeternae, nº 3 y 5–, el florentino tuvo plena conciencia de la cualidad de su misión. Beber de la fuente luminosa del río del Amor, para liberar al hombre del mal y la mentira y establecer vínculos de comunión: esta ha sido la llama que su poesía ha mantenido encendida durante setecientos años. Recoger la cualidad de esta huella es el desafío de la Alalite
Libro y profecía: la Commedia dantesca como utopía
Authors: Del Percio Daniel
Published: October 2022

La poesía es, también, futuro. Esto es especialmente válido en La Divina Comedia, de Dante Alighieri, en donde el poeta italiano, ya desde el primer canto, pondrá en boca de su Guía, poeta, maestro y padre, Virgilio, una profecía, consuelo ante la presencia del mal, alegorizado en tres bestias que cierran la Anábasis de Dante personaje: “infin che ‘l Veltro / verrà, che la farà morir con doglia” (Infierno, I, vv. 101-102). La figura esperada, el mastín (Veltro), quien derrotará a la Loba (que es la Avaricia, pero también es Roma) remite al Milenarismo propio de la Revelación, pero también a las ambigüedades de la política. Esta doble lectura, a la vez sacra y laica, ha dado lugar a teorías muy variadas y, en ocasiones, insólitas. Sin embargo, hay una de ellas en donde lo sacro y lo laico convergen. Una Utopía donde un mesías traerá el fin del mal en las acciones humanas. En nuestro trabajo, nos proponemos indagar en la esencia de esta utopía.
Papa Francisco e suas reformas para uma Igreja em saída diante de novos apelos da humanidade
Authors: Souza Waldir , Nacimento Rivael de Jesus
Published: October 2022

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o Papa Francisco e seu projeto de renovação interna na Igreja, como chave em saída. Desde o início de seu pontificado, em 2013, ele revelou-se um grande reformador, seu objetivo principal é o de conclamar a todos para um novo rosto da igreja, esta que sai ao encontro da humanidade. O termo não é novo, pois já havia sido mencionado por João Paulo II, porém, na ocasião, ficou apenas no campo dos anseios. O papa argentino defende incansavelmente a ideia que a igreja precisa acompanhar esse processo de renovação. Para se entender essa nova concepção, os elementos serão aqui apresentados através de quatro eixos básicos. O primeiro abordará a necessidade da “igreja em saída”, chave para uma conversão pastoral e mudança de mentalidade, uma esperança do Concílio Vaticano II nestes seus quase 60 anos. O segundo elemento tratará sobre a misericórdia de Deus, para os não batizados que não estão presentes na igreja. O terceiro é a referência à cultura do encontro, este é uma ideia essencial no pensamento de Francisco. E, o último aponta uma igreja em saída que sempre está se reformando. O método usado no artigo é o dedutivo com uma metodologia qualitativa bibliográfica. O pontificado de Francisco é marcado pelo anuncio do Reino de Deus e sua atualização no mundo, no cenário urbano, indicando novas ações pastorais e revelando a esperança no meio das fragilidades.
Reflexões antropológicas e teológicas sobre a liberdade humana
Authors: Oliveira Renato Alves de
Published: October 2022

Este artigo se propõe a refletir sobre alguns aspectos antropológicos e teológicos da liberdade humana. Um dos objetivos do artigo é refletir sobre os aspectos antropológicos da liberdade humana como a diferença entre a liberdade eletiva e a entitativa, a relação entre pessoa e liberdade humanas, a morte como consumação da história da liberdade e as correntes do pensamento contemporâneo que negam a existência da liberdade. O outro objetivo é meditar sobre os aspectos teológicos da liberdade humana, partindo de sua fundamentação bíblica, as suas principais dimensões cristãs, a relação entre a graça divina e a liberdade humana e sobre a possibilidade da liberdade se equivocar em suas decisões, fazendo uma opção infernal. O método usado é o de análise antropológica e teológica de algumas categorias que compõem a liberdade humana. As conclusões objetivam mostrar, contrariamente ao que foi defendido pela modernidade e por alguns teólogos contemporâneos, que Deus e a liberdade são duas magnitudes alérgicas, mas há uma reciprocidade entre ambos. A noção de Deus não fere a autonomia e o exercício da liberdade humana.
Alteridade e fraternidade
Authors: Dias Tiago Cosmo da Silva , Xavier Donizete José
Published: October 2022

Este artigo tem a finalidade de refletir a Carta Encíclica Fratelli tutti, do Papa Francisco, partindo do seu apelo de se defender a fraternidade universal como elemento de um mundo melhor, mais justo e pacífico.  Sob essa perspectiva, o título Fratelli tutti – “Todos irmãos” –, evoca uma reflexão profunda sobre a existência humana e, ao mesmo tempo, interpela à redescoberta do sentimento de pertença à mesma fraternidade. É nessa lógica que emana o grande apelo do bispo de Roma ao respeito, abertura e ao reconhecimento do outro como viabilidade da proposta fraternal. Francisco sonha e deseja uma nova “arte do encontro”, na qual seja possível pensar no outro “como rosto”, reconhecendo sua dignidade, sua liberdade e direitos fundamentais. Nesse escopo, justifica-se o desenvolvimento deste artigo a partir de um excurso pela noção de fraternidade, analisada sob as lentes do princípio de alteridade do pensamento de Levinas. Desse modo, este artigo se propõe a ler a Fratelli tutti, tendo como chave hermenêutica a via de Levinas, que desemboca em Francisco como sonho de uma nova humanidade ancorada na responsabilidade ética da fraternidade.
A política teológica dos evangélicos
Authors: Gonçalves Alonso
Published: October 2022

O artigo tem como principal objetivo tratar de três obras que procuraram refletir o atual contexto político-social brasileiro. Os textos aqui analisados, é fruto de uma percepção de que a polarização inviabiliza o debate razoável na esfera pública. Dessa forma, os autores intentaram elaborar um projeto político que antecedesse ao ativismo político, que, de maneira recorrente, é descaracterizado do aparato teórico-prático refletido. Depois de uma abordagem detida no conteúdo de cada texto, o artigo propõe um exercício crítico dos projetos elencados, apontando algumas lacunas e possibilidades.
Reflexão sobre o contexto e a singularidade de Dt 30,11-14
Authors: Fernandes Leonardo Agostini
Published: October 2022

Tudo o que Moisés recebeu do Senhor, ele transmitiu ao povo como um pai que, antes de morrer, deixa a sua herança para o filho. Como o pai continua vivo no filho, Moisés estará vivo na herança deixada ao “novo Israel”. A boca e o coração de Moisés – que serviram ao Senhor, em todo o processo de libertação e condução pelo deserto até às portas de Canaã – passam, pela ordem-palavra do Senhor, à boca e ao coração do “novo Israel”. Este artigo subdivide-se em: considerações preliminares (processo de formação do livro de Deuteronômio); três partes: 1) tradução segmentada do texto a partir do hebraico, com algumas notas de crítica textual; 2) texto dentro do seu contexto (Dt 28,69–30,20), justificando a sua delimitação; 3) singularidade de Dt 30,11-14; considerações finais (abertura para a missão de Josué como sucessor de Moisés). Quanto à metodologia seguida, foram usados alguns elementos da abordagem diacrônica e sincrônica.
Creation, Kingship, and the Defeat of Evil: A Reflection on Psalm 74
Authors: Cunha Wilson de Angelo
Published: October 2022

Em mitos da criação do Antigo Oriente Próximo, ocorre-se frequentemente uma batalha divina contra o caos cósmico. A criação do mundo e o templo da divindade vitoriosa funcionam como sinais da derrota do mal e do estabelecimento da ordem. Essas idéias ajudam a explicar a justaposição de um lamento sobre a destruição do templo (Salmo 74:1-11, 18-23), que levou a comunidade a experimentar alienação divina, e o hino que proclama a vitória de Yhwh sobre o caos na criação (Salmo 74:12-17). Uma análise retórica do poema demonstra a centralidade do hino da criação no Salmo 74:12-17, indicando que a teologia da criação funciona como uma fonte de esperança para a comunidade em desespero e para um mundo marcado pelo pecado, sofrimento e mal.
A ECONOMIA SEGUNDO FRANCISCO. ASPECTOS PRINCIPAIS DO PENSAMENTO ECONÔMICO NO ATUAL PONTIFICADO A PARTIR DA MENSAGEM DO PAPA AOS PARTICIPANTES DO EVENTO “THE ECONOMY OF FRANCESCO”.
Authors: Raupp Klaus da Silva , Susin Luiz Carlos
Published: October 2022

Este artigo pretende apresentar os aspectos principais do pensamento econômico do Papa Francisco desde o início do seu pontificado até os dias atuais, tendo como ponto de partida a mensagem dirigida aos jovens participantes da primeira edição do evento “A Economia de Francisco”. Nesse sentido, são destacados cinco momentos importantes que, no entender do autor, constituem o fio de ouro da economia segundo Francisco, a saber: a Exortação Apostólica Evangelii gaudium, os encontros com os movimentos populares, a Encíclica Laudato si, o chamado para o evento, e a Encíclica Fratelli Tutti.
urgência de uma antropologia sexual personalista: a dificuldade de incorporação do princípio conciliar na antropologia sexual católica
Authors: Zacharias Ronaldo
Published: October 2022

Partindo do pressuposto de que o Concílio Vaticano II abriu uma era importante para a compreensão e enfoque da sexualidade por parte da Igreja, no presente artigo aborda-se a tentativa feita pelo Magistério de estender a perspectiva personalista promovida pelo Concílio a questões referentes à sexualidade, especialmente fora do contexto matrimonial. Servindo-se de uma leitura crítica sobre alguns elementos que comprometeram e continuam comprometendo o êxito do Magistério nessa tentativa, são evidenciadas as razões pelas quais assumir o princípio personalista do Concílio na antropologia sexual católica ainda se impõe como tarefa.
Mater et Magistra
Authors: Aquino Júnior Francisco de
Published: October 2022

Publicada por ocasião do septuagésimo aniversário da Encíclica Rerum Novarum (RN) do papa Leão XIII (1891), a Encíclica Mater et Magistra (MM) do papa João XXIII (1961) é considerada como uma “encíclica de transição” no contexto mais amplo do desenvolvimento histórico da doutrina social da Igreja. E por várias razões: situa a problemática da justiça social no contexto mais amplo da relação entre os povos; está inserida no contexto de mudança/transição que caracteriza o pontificado de João XXIII e o Concílio Vaticano II; é marcada por uma atitude de confiança e otimismo para com o mundo e por um estilo e uma linguagem menos filosófico-abstratos e mais concreto-empíricos no trato da realidade. Tudo isso confere particular importância e relevância à MM e justifica este trabalho que, como indica seu subtítulo, pretende ser um guia de leitura da encíclica. Começa indicando o contexto sócio-eclesial em que ela surge e ao qual procura responder. Faz uma apresentação panorâmica do texto em sua estrutura e conteúdo fundamentais. E conclui destacando alguns pontos importantes para sua adequada compreensão e interpretação.

A multimodal approach to prevent the cognitive impairment in patients with cardiovascular diseases combines the control of major cardiovascular risk factors, cognitive recovery, and physical training. Here we discuss current advances in computer-aided (also called computer-assisted) cognitive recovery to prevent the cognitive impairment in patients with cardiovascular diseases, as this approach has a number of advantages in comparison with the conventional tools. We describe a cognitive training software to stimulate perception, attention, short-term memory, executive functions, speech, and thinking. Baseline neurological examination and neuropsychological testing are mandatory before starting a cognitive recovery. A particular attention is paid to the high prevalence of cognitive impairment in cardiac surgery patients. Around half of them have pre-operative cognitive impairments, and almost half of the patients suffer from a postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Among the brain regions, prefrontal and parietal cortex and hippocampus are the most sensitive to circulatory disorders as they are supplied by the terminal branches of the cerebral arteries. Therefore, cognitive rehabilitation of cardiac surgery patients should include computer-aided cognitive training tasks activating these brain regions.

Inselromane
Authors: Meier Julia
Published: October 2022

Mit seinem zweisprachigen Roman gestaltete Oehlenschläger auf der Basis von Schnabels Insel Felsenburg ein völlig neues Werk. Durch die Fülle von Reflexionen, Prätexten, Zitaten, lyrischen Einlagen, Novellen sowie dem Einbezug von Schnabels zentralen Strukturen und Hauptfiguren entstand ein vielschichtiger und dynamischer Text, der aber bisher beim Lesepublikum und in der Forschung nur wenig Beachtung gefunden hat. Die vorliegende Untersuchung beleuchtet anhand von Bachtins und Kristevas Polyphonie- und Intertextualitätstheorien die Mehrstimmigkeit und Vielfalt des Romans, wobei die Zweisprachigkeit ebenso einbezogen wird wie die verschiedenen Fassungen, die von der Erstausgabe teilweise stark abweichen. Detaillierte Analysen zeigen, dass der Roman zu seiner Zeit neuartige literarische Verfahren für die Textproduktion fruchtbar machte.
H/A/α Polarimetric Decomposition Of Dual Polarized Alos Palsar For Efficient Land Feature Detection And Biomass Estimation Over Tropical Deciduous Forest
Authors: Sinha Suman
Published: October 2022

Information regarding land use and land cover is an important for formulating decision making for land information system. The easiest and most effective way to gather such information is via using Earth observation remote sensing satellites supported by ground data. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), due to its additional unique intrinsic characteristics is favoured over the optical systems for procuring land information. An innovative and effective technique for land feature detection is the use of polarimetric capabilities of SAR. Generally applicable for quad polarized data, this study investigates the polarimetric capabilities of a dual polarized data obtained from ALOS PALSAR, which is not a general notion. The approach applied in the study shows accurate results for detection of land features using polarimetric decomposition of dual polarized ALOS PALSAR data over an area of Munger in the state of Bihar, India. Twelve distinct land cover features are identified in the study area using this approach. The polarimetric products are also investigated for deriving the biomass information for the vegetation cover in the study area. The relation between in-situ biomass generated from floral species-specific volumetric equations and SAR polarimetric products showed a moderate correlation of 0.56 with RMSE=29.13 t/ha and data agreement of 0.62 based on exponential regression model for predicting biomass. The decomposition parameters revealed more evidences for forest structure and feature identification rather than biomass information. The method adopted in the study can be well utilized for land resource information and mapping; hence, natural and man-made resource monitoring and management.
