DEI VERBUM “ALKITAB BUKU YANG TERBUKA”
Authors: Muda Simeon Bera
Published: May 2018

The Dogmatic Constitution Dei Verbum on Divine Revelation opens us towards

God’s self revelation in the whole universe in order that all be gathered in Christ

into full communion with the Triune God. This official teaching sees revelation as

a dialogue of love, and a response in faith which is personal, dynamic, historical

and centred on Christ and the Spirit. With this broad understanding of

revelation, the Dei Verbum Constitution goes on to open up ways of interpreting

the Scriptures and understanding how the Scriptures have been read in history

(Tradition), thus opening up Bible study as the soul of theology, as well as the

anima of prayer, liturgy and spirituality. The local Churches of Indonesia, Asia

and the world, including the Society of the Divine Word (SVD), have responded

to the invitation to participate in this divine dialogue of love by receiving God’s

Word graciously and proclaiming it faithfully in daily life. The essay ends by

noting the contribution of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, the Catholic

Biblical Federation, Lembaga Biblica Indonesia, St. Paul’s Biblical Centre

Ledalero, and the Biblical Apostolate Diocesan Commissions of Nusa Tenggara

Ecclesial Province in Indonesia which have facilitated Bible sharing in grassroots

communities.

KEADILAN SOSIAL DALAM TANTANGAN EKONOMI PASAR. Mencermati Gagasan Keadilan Sosial Hayek
Authors: Ujan Andre Ata
Published: May 2018

Is social justice or economic justice a utopia? This would be one of the questions

that anyone might immediately raise as he/she reads Friedrick August von Hayek’s

position on the idea of social or economic justice. As a classic liberal thinker,

Hayek believed that the free market is the ideal economic system for it in nature

promotes freedom and equality in a free and open society. Is Hayek’s defence of

the free martket economy sufficiently convincing to eliminate any room for social

or economic justice to take place? There is actually no free market in a pure sense.

The market is not totally free from selfish interests that might be developed by

market players themselves in doing business. It is therefore not reasonable to

see the market as a purely spontaneous and independent entity. And since it

is in fact open to selfish interventions, its outcomes may be just or unjust. Free

competition, prompted systematically by the free market system, therefore, could

risk human life. For this reason, state intervention to a certain extent is necessary

to prevent market competition from endangering citizens’ economic prospects. The

state’s intervention is important, as it is necessary, to secure social or economic

justice. Social or economic justice is of course an ideal but not necessarily a utopia

in a radical sense. Taking the unfortunates’ quality of life as the benchmark in

designing and enacting economic policies, social or economic justice might be, at

least partially, realized. John Rawls’ idea of maximin rule or maximin strategy

can pave the way for the realization of such an ideal that every civilized person or

society is essentially craving for.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS: CHRISTIANITY OF SLAVEHOLDERS VS CHRISTIANITY OF CHRIST
Authors: Ludji Irene , Fletcher Lashonda , Clarck Maureen
Published: May 2018

Hak beragama telah dipertalikan dengan setiap orang sejak lahir, entah dia

orang merdeka atau budak, kulit hitam atau putih, lelaki ataupun perempuan.

Manifestasi iman tersebut terungkap secara hebat di dalam komunitas jemaat

warga kulit hitam selama Masa Kebangkitan Kedua (Second Awakening) di

abad ke-18 tatkala banyak orang Afrika masuk kekristenan dalam berbagai

denominasi. Di tengah-tengah masa kebangkitan itulah Frederick Douglass lahir

di Desa Talbot pada tahun 1818, dari seorang ibu budak warga kulit hitam

dan seorang ayah yang diduga majikan warga kulit putih. Kelahiran Douglass

ke dalam sistem perbudakan ini memberinya sebuah perspektif kritis atas iman

dan efeknya terhadap setiap persoalan sosial, khususnya menyangkut perbudakan.

Lebih penting lagi, Douglass mampu secara tajam mengemukakan interpretasiinterpretasi

dan ideologi-ideologi kontradiktif mengenai agama/iman sampai ke tingkat

yang menempatkan dia pada sebuah jalan dari status budak ke penghapus

perbudakan (abolisionis). Harus dicatat bahwa kendatipun Douglass menganggap

urusan iman/agama sebagai urusan yang sangat pribadi, namun keyakinan-keyakinannya

dibentuk, dituntun, dan dapat didengar dalam pidato-pidato dan tulisan-tulisannya.

Penting untuk menggali kehidupan Douglass sebagai seorang budak

dan memeriksa apa pengaruh dari Gereja kulit hitam dan agama terhadap

tindakan-tindakannya. Kehidupan Douglass sebagai seorang pejuang

penghapusan perbudakan akan ditelusuri seraya memberikan perhatian

yang intens/mendalam terhadap peranan agama dan Gereja kulit hitam terhadap

kematangannya.

MENGGOYANG AKAL, MENGGAPAI INTUISI Kajian Kritis atas Metode Koan dan Zazen di dalam Tradisi Zen
Authors: Wattimena Reza A.A
Published: May 2018

Zen is a way of understanding our true self as human before any concept is produced by the thinking mind. This true self can be perceived, when we let go all of forms of concepts and abstractions, and move to the realm of intuition. In this sense, intuition is direct experience of reality without the mediation of any kind of concepts or abstractions. The Zen tradition offers two ways to help people achieve this state of mind, namely Zazen (sitting meditation) and Koan (interview with the Zen Master). The awareness of the true self, or intuition, can be seen also as the state of enlightenment. This is the true freedom. This paper examins Zazen and Koan practices in the Zen tradition critically, and looks at how both can contribute to the development of human life.

AKAR KORUPSI
Authors: Kirchberger George
Published: May 2018

The author of this article starts from the fact that in Indonesia, as in many other countries, corruption is rapidly escalating, and seemingly is extremely difficult to eradicate. And so the author questions the root of corruption. From an ethical perspective, corruption is clearly categorised as a social sin. In the Catholic view, sin is rooted in what is known as “original sin”. Making use of the study of Eugen Drewermann, the author describes the root of sin as suspicion of God, an attitude that is no longer convinced that God can be relied upon as source of life and basic guarantor of human life. Thus, humans become convinced that they themselves must guarantee the foundation of their existence. To achieve this, humans seek power, property and wealth as the source of apparently guaranteeing the basis of their life. However, humans know in their heart that death is going to take everything away, and so become avaricious and feel that they never own enough to secure themselves. Because of this sinful mechanism, corruption will never be overcome as long as the underlying distrust is not overcome through conviction. In order to oppose corruption, the Church needs to attempt to plant in the hearts of humanity confidence that God can be relied upon as the foundation and guarantor of life. Only then can humans be freed from the necessity of guaranteeing life by their own efforts.
PENGGUNAAN METAFORA TUBUH PEREMPUAN DALAM KITAB HOSEA
Authors: Natar Asnath N
Published: May 2018

In a partriarchal society the what and the how of women and her body, is largely decided upon by males rather than by women themselves. Not infrequently a woman’s body is used to depict something negative, which not only results in no respect for a woman’s body, but can lead to violence against her. The Book of Hosea is a book that uses the woman and her body as a metaphor of the relationship between God and the people of Israel, where the woman and her body are depicted negatively. This article criticises the use of the woman and her body in the relationship between God and God’s people, and its impact on the husband-wife relationship.
Toleransi dan Diskursus Post-Sekularisme
Authors: Madung Otto Gusti
Published: May 2018

This essay presents two types of tolerance: passive tolerance and active or authentic tolerance. Passive tolerance is vertical and is illustrated in the attitude of one being forced by a pluralist societal situation to allow others to exist. Here tolerance is a gift from the powerful majority but can be taken away at any time if minorities infringe a number of conditions. Active or authentic tolerance accepts the right to existence, freedom and the wish of others to develop precisely as others. This principle of tolerance is in accord with the situation of contemporary democratic societies that are plural and which are characterized by potential conflict due to differing concepts of the good life. This essay illustrates how the concept of authentic tolerance is an appropriate model for a post-secular society marked by an increasingly public function by religion.

Keywords: Passive tolerance, active tolerance, secularization, postsecularism,public reason,religion

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tulisan ini memperkenalkan dua jenis toleransi yakni toleransi pasif dan toleransi aktif atau autentik. Toleransi pasif bersifat vertikal dan tampak dalam sikap terpaksa membiarkan yang lain hidup karena realitas sosial yang plural. Di sini toleransi adalah hadiah dari penguasa dan setiap saat dapat dicabut kembali jika kaum minoritas melanggar sejumlah ketentuan. Toleransi aktif atau autentik mengiakan hak hidup atau keberadaan, kebebasan dan kehendak yang lain sebagai yang lain untuk berkembang. Prinsip toleransi ini sesuai dengan kondisi masyarakat demokratis dan plural kontemporer yang diwarnai potensi konflik lantaran perbedaan konsep good life. Tulisan ini akan menunjukkan bahwa konsep toleransi autentik merupakan konsep yang cocok dengan kondisi masyarakat post-sekular yang ditandai dengan menguatnya peran publik agama- agama.

Yohanes Calvin: Politik, Jabatan Gerejawi, dan Relevansinya bagi Gereja Masa Kini
Authors: Kolimon Mery
Published: May 2018

Recalling the Reformation movement of five hundred years ago provides us, the Churches throughout the

world, with an opportunity to undertake a critical reflection on the meaning of the Reformation for us. In the Indonesian context, in particular relating to the relationship between Church and State, and the function of the Church in politics, we can learn from the legacy of John Calvin. This Reformation figure underlined the importance of separating the function of Church officials from that of State officials. Church pastors/ shepherds are responsible for taking care of the spiritual needs and the education of God’s people so that they can participate in politics as a faith responsibility. This is a duty that needs to be carried out with full commitment. Meanwhile the government and politicians work for the wellbeing of the people in the civic and governance spheres. Church and State have their own particular spheres of operation that should never be confused.

Memperingati lima ratus tahun gerakan Reformasi memberikan kepada kita, Gereja-gereja di seluruh dunia, kesempatan untuk melakukan refleksi kritis atas makna Reformasi bagi kita. Dalam konteks Indonesia, khususnya berkaitan dengan hubungan antara Gereja dan Negara, dan fungsi Gereja dalam politik, kita bisa belajar dari warisan Yohanes Calvin. Reformasi ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya pemisahan fungsi jabatan Gereja dari jabatan Negara. Para gembala bertanggung jawab mengurusi kebutuhan spiritual dan pendidikan umat Allah sehingga mereka dapat berpartisipasi dalam politik sebagai tanggung jawab iman. Ini adalah tugas yang perlu dilakukan dengan komitmen penuh. Sementara itu, pemerintah dan politisi bekerja untuk kesejahteraan rakyat di bidang sipil dan pemerintahan. Gereja dan Negara masing-masing memiliki bidang khusus yang tidak boleh saling berebutan satu sama lain.

TEOLOGI DIALEKTIS: BUAH TEOLOGI DARI RAHIM PERANG DUNIA PERTAMA
Authors: Juhani Sefrianus
Published: May 2018

On the one hand, the First World War was the epitome of

destruction, on the other hand the war spurred humanity to think

deeply and be creative. An example of human creativity, a fruit of World

War I, was Dialectic Theology, a theology that counter-balances and

corrects Liberal Theology. It corrects the concept that identifies God

with the human, such that instead of humanity talking about God,

humanity deifies itself. Dialectic Theology invites theologians to return

to the Sacred Scriptures to rediscover the true concept of the Divine.

The God of Christians is the God who is absolutely “Other”, a concept

impossible for human reason to grasp. God can only be experienced in

faith. Nevertheless, Dialectic Theology is not without imperfections for

its theological model excessively absolutizes God. This tendency results

in Dialectic Theology falling into a similar fault as Liberal Theology.

Liberal Theology falls into anthropomorphism, while Dialectic Theology

falls into theocentrism. It also ignors other theological sources, namely

tradition and context. Contextual theologies are a reaction to Dialectic

Theology.

Keywords: dialectic theology, liberal theology, otherness, justification, religion, war.

Di satu sisi, perang berdaya menghancurkan, pada sisi lain,

ia memacu manusia untuk berpikir dan berkreasi. Salah satu kreasi

manusia, sebagai buah dari perang Dunia I adalah Teologi dialektis.

Teologi dialektis merupakan teologi yang muncul untuk mengoreksi

Teologi Liberal. Hal yang dikoreksi adalah konsep tentang Allah yang

bersifat antropomorfistis. Allah disamakan dengan manusia. Di sini,

manusia alih-alih berbicara tentang Allah, padahal yang terjadi adalah

ia yang meng-allah-kan dirinya. Terhadap realitas ini, Teologi dialektis

meminta para teolog untuk kembali kepada Kitab Suci. Sebab konsep

mengenai Allah yang benar ada di sana. Allah Kristen bukan Allah seperti

yang dipikirkan oleh teologi liberal. Allah Kristen adalah Allah “yang

lain”. Allah yang berbeda secara absolut dengan manusia. Terhadap Allah

macam ini, rasio manusia tidak mungkin menjangkaunya. Ia hanya bisa

dialami dalam iman. Teologi dialektis bukanlah tanpa cacat. Model

teologi ini terlalu mengabsolutkan Allah. Tendensi ini telah membuat

teologi ini jatuh ke dalam dosa yang sama seperti teologi liberal. Dosa

teologi liberal adalah antropomorfisme, sedangkan dosa Teologi dialektis

adalah teosentrisme. Kekeliruan yang lain dari teologi ini adalah

pengabaian sumber lain dalam berteologi, yaitu tradisi dan konteks.

Teologi kontekstual merupakan tanggapan atas Teologi dialektis.

DAMPAK REFORMASI TERHADAP PERPECAHAN GEREJA DAN MAKNANYA BAGI UPAYA PENYATUAN GEREJA | IMPACT OF THE REFORMATION ON CHURCH DIVISION AND ITS MEANING FOR THE EFFORT TO UNITE THE CHURCHES
Authors: Aritonang Jan S.
Published: May 2018

Abstract: There are at least two general impressions about Church

Reform that took place 500 years ago, namely (1) the Reformation

sought - and to some extent succeeded – in renewing the doctrine

and life of the Church; and (2) the Reformation caused divisions

within the Church. This article will examine whether and to what

extent these two impressions are correct, and what impact and

significance this is for the Church today, especially in Indonesia.

To discuss these issues thoroughly, we certainly need more deep

and detailed research. This paper is limited to several aspects and

examples, while including several other points.

Keywords: reformation, Church, theology, controversy of

theology, base color, ecumenical, ecumenical movement.

Abstrak: Sekurang-kurangnya ada dua kesan umum tentang

Reformasi Gereja yang terjadi sejak 500 tahun yang lalu, yaitu

(1) Reformasi itu berupaya – dan pada batas tertentu berhasil

– membarui ajaran dan kehidupan gereja; dan (2) Reformasi

itu menimbulkan perpecahan di dalam Gereja. Artikel ini akan

mengkaji apakah dan sejauh mana kedua kesan itu benar, serta apa

dampak dan maknanya bagi Gereja pada masa kini, khususnya di

Indonesia. Untuk membahasnya secara tuntas, tentu dibutuhkan

penelitian dan penulisan yang mendalam, panjang, dan rinci.

Prevalence of thyroid disorders among infertile women with menstrual irregularities
Authors: Nargis Nazlima , Mahmood Abu Kholdun Al , Karim Iqbal
Published: May 2018

Background: The infertility problem is more common phenomenon among the women now a days and has increased over past 30 years. The present study was carried out to see the prevalence of thyroid disorders among infertile women with menstrual irregularities.Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ibn Sina Medical College, Dhaka from January to December 2016. After taking informed consent, total 160 infertile women and 100 normal fertile women volunteers were selected on OPD basis between age group of 18-45 years. Out of 160 infertile women, 100 were of primary infertility and 60 of secondary infertility. Participants were selected on the basis of detailed history, clinical examination and laboratory investigations. Detailed history of participants including age, menstrual history, obstetric history, history of any medications were taken.Results: There was a higher prevalence of hypothyroidism in the infertile women as compared to the fertile one in the study group, particularly in secondary infertility. Oligomenorrhoea was most common in infertile women. Hypothyroidism is commonly associated with ovulatory failure. Hence, assessment of serum TSH is mandatory in the work up of all infertile women, especially those presenting with menstrual irregularities. So the basic approach should be to identify those hypothyroid individuals who have greatest risk for the development of infertility.Conclusion: Long standing hypothyroidism may develop ovulatory dysfunction. So identifying and treating hypothyroidism at an earlier stage before the appearance of ovulatory dysfunction can have potentially great preventive value.Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2018; 6(1): 22-25
Fluid therapy in trauma resuscitation : A review of changing practices.
Authors: Mohammad Rasheed Kaja
Published: May 2018

Background: Haemorrhage is the leading preventable cause of post trauma death. Acute trauma resuscitation has evolved over the last decade. The ATLS guidance used since 2012 is being updated in 2018.Objectives : To search relevant representative literature over 6 years between 2012 and 2018 to gain an insight into changing concepts, practices and recent advances in acute trauma fluid resuscitation and provide a structured review of the topic.Search methods: A relevant MEDLINE search was undertaken to obtain a list of 1512 articles from which 107 were utilised to prepare this review.Selection criteria:1. Inclusion: Articles from human medicine relevant to fluid resuscitation in trauma published in English between January 2012 and January 2018. 2.Exclusion: Articles restricted to Brain, spinal trauma or cardiovascular trauma, post traumatic arrest patients, animal or human laboratory model studies and articles on septic, postoperative, obstetric patients and single case studies were excluded.Results: This review categorises the topic into various parts to explain the evolving understanding of fluid resuscitation, trauma induced coagulopathy and endotheliopathy of trauma. The strategies for acute fluid management like damage-controlled resuscitation, balanced and haemostatic resuscitation and massive transfusion protocol are explained. A detailed discussion is carried out regarding crystalloid, colloid and blood transfusion. Special consideration is given to specific age groups, combat casualties and prehospital trauma care.Conclusions: Fluid resuscitation in trauma is a complex and rapidly evolving subject. Massive transfusion protocols and principles of damage control are significant for patient outcome. Standard guidance like ATLS is relevant and important for training professionals to deliver systematic, high quality of trauma care. There is scope for local improvisation based on resources and need for more high-quality trials and frequent systematic reviews.Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2018; 6(1): 31-39

Published: May 2018

Background: Antimicrobial resistance in pathogens is a growing concern for health. It is a great concern around the globe about the threat of increasing antimicrobial resistance. In response to this concerns, medical experts have proposed initiatives to curtail the spread of antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria. We have taken this surveillance study in KYAMCH to contain the spread of antimicrobial resistance.Objectives: To determine the prevalence of MRSA from different clinical samples and to record its current status to commonly used anti Staphylococcus antibiotics.Methods: The clinical samples were taken to the laboratory and within four hours cultured for isolates and identification pathogens. Finally, antibiotic sensitivity testing of the isolated Staphylococcus aureus was performed. Results: More than 80% of MRSA isolates were resistant to ampicillin (98%) followed by amoxicillin, cefixime and azithromycin with 94%, 93.5% and 85% respectively and maximum sensitivity toward tobramycin with 86% followed by 85% gentamicin and 79% meropenem.Conclusion: The detected trend in antibiotic resistance patterns of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus in this study is alarming. This has created a huge clinical burden in the hospital settings as well as in the community.KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-1, April 2018, Page 6-10

Published: May 2018

Background: A molar pregnancy is also known as hydatidiform mole which is a benign tumour that develops in the uterus. It begins when an egg is fertilized but normal viable pregnancy not occurs, rather than the placenta develops into an abnormal mass of cyst. In all cases of molar pregnancy observation is essential to detect the reawakening of chorionic activity.Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore the incidence, clinical presentation, management and outcome of the molar pregnancy in our hospital.Materials & Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh over a period of one year from July 2016 to June 2017. All pregnant women who were diagnosed as molar pregnancy were included in the study.Results: In this study the incidence of molar pregnancy was 5.3 per 1,000 deliveries that was 1 in 188 deliveries. Among the patients 54.7% were between (23 - 27 years) age group, 81.2% cases were multiparous and 58.4% patients belonged to low socioeconomic status. The prevalent blood group was A and constitute 56.6%. About 62.2% patient presented with amenorrhoea and abnormal vaginal bleeding. 45.3% admitted between (12-16) weeks of gestation. Most of the patients 58.4% were managed by suction and evacuation. Among all the cases 92.4% were complete mole and only 16.9% came for follow up.Conclusion: Results from this study showed that a small portion of patient of molar pregnancy came for routine follow up. To achieve high cure rate and low chemotherapy rate an effective registration programme and treatment protocol should be established.KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-1, April 2018, Page 24-27

Nanoporous silicon nitride-based membranes of controlled pore size, shape and areal density: Fabrication as well as electrophoretic and molecular filtering characterization
Authors: Seidenstücker Axel , Beirle Stefan , Enderle Fabian , Ziemann Paul , Marti Othmar , Plettl Alfred
Published: May 2018

A new route will be presented for an all-parallel fabrication of highly flexible, freestanding membranes with well-defined porosity. This fabrication is based on arrays of well-defined Au nanoparticles (NPs) exhibiting a high degree of hexagonal order as obtained in a first step by a proven micellar approach. These NP arrays serve as masks in a second reactive ion etching (RIE) step optimized for etching Si and some important Si compounds (silicon oxide, silicon nitride) on the nanoscale. Application to commercially available silicon nitride membranes of well-defined thickness, delivers a diaphragm with millions of nanopores of intended and controlled size, shape, and areal density with narrow distributions of these parameters. Electrophoretic transport measurements indicated a very low flow resistance of these porous membranes in ionic solutions as expected theoretically. Size-selective separation of protein molecules was demonstrated by real-time fluorescence microscopy.
Giant Double Radio Source DA 240: Purveyor of Galaxies
Authors: Chen Ru-Rong , Strom Richard , Peng Bo
Published: May 2018

Galaxies of stars are building blocks of the baryonic universe. Their composition, structure, and kinematics have been well studied, but details of their origins remain sketchy. The collapse of gas clouds, induced by external forces whereby gravity overcomes internal pressure to form stars, is the likely starting point. Among the perturbing initiators of galaxy formation, radio source beams (jets) are quite effective. Typically, a beam may spawn one galaxy, though instances of several aligned with the radio axis are known. Recently, we found an impressive 14 companions in the lobes of the giant radio galaxy DA 240, which we argue formed as the result of jet instigation. This conclusion is bolstered by the fact that the galaxy groups display Z-shaped symmetry with respect to the radio axis. There is some evidence for star formation among the aligned companions. We also conclude that galaxy alignments at low redshift may derive from line-emitting gas observed in radio components of high-redshift galaxies.

Published: May 2018

We present a three-dimensional modeling of the Milky Way dust distribution by fitting the value-added star catalog of the LAMOST spectral survey. The global dust distribution can be described by an exponential disk with a scale length of 3192 pc and a scale height of 103 pc. In this modeling, the Sun is located above the dust disk with a vertical distance of 23 pc. Besides the global smooth structure, two substructures around the solar position are also identified. The one located at 150° < l < 200° and −5° < b < −30° is consistent with the Gould Belt model of Gontcharov, and the other one located at 140° < l < 165° and 0° < b < 15° is associated with the Camelopardalis molecular clouds.
X-Ray Quasi-periodic Oscillations in the Lense–Thirring Precession Model. I. Variability of Relativistic Continuum
Authors: You Bei , Bursa Michal , Życki Piotr T.
Published: May 2018

We develop a Monte Carlo code to compute the Compton-scattered X-ray flux arising from a hot inner flow that undergoes Lense–Thirring precession. The hot flow intercepts seed photons from an outer truncated thin disk. A fraction of the Comptonized photons will illuminate the disk, and the reflected/reprocessed photons will contribute to the observed spectrum. The total spectrum, including disk thermal emission, hot flow Comptonization, and disk reflection, is modeled within the framework of general relativity, taking light bending and gravitational redshift into account. The simulations are performed in the context of the Lense–Thirring precession model for the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations, so the inner flow is assumed to precess, leading to periodic modulation of the emitted radiation. In this work, we concentrate on the energy-dependent X-ray variability of the model and, in particular, on the evolution of the variability during the spectral transition from hard to soft state, which is implemented by the decrease of the truncation radius of the outer disk toward the innermost stable circular orbit. In the hard state, where the Comptonizing flow is geometrically thick, the Comptonization is weakly variable with a fractional variability amplitude of ≤10%; in the soft state, where the Comptonizing flow is cooled down and thus becomes geometrically thin, the fractional variability of the Comptonization is highly variable, increasing with photon energy. The fractional variability of the reflection increases with energy, and the reflection emission for low spin is counterintuitively more variable than the one for high spin.

The Cloud spans ∼10′ × 3′ (25 × 7.5 kpc) in size and has no stellar counterpart; comparisons with our previous deep broadband imaging show no detected continuum light to a limit of μ

 ∼ 30 mag arcsec−2. WIYN SparsePak observations confirm the Cloud’s kinematic association with M51, and the high [N ii]/Hα, [S ii]/Hα, and [O i]/Hα line ratios that we measure imply a hard ionization source such as active galactic nuclei (AGN) photoionization or shock heating rather than photoionization due to young stars. Given the strong [N ii] emission, we infer roughly solar metallicity for the Cloud, ruling out an origin due to infall of primordial gas. Instead, we favor models where the gas has been expelled from the inner regions of the M51 system due to tidal stripping or starburst/AGN winds and has been subsequently ionized either by shocks or a fading AGN. This latter scenario raises the intriguing possibility that M51 may be the nearest example of an AGN fossil nebula or light echo, akin to the famous “Hanny’s Voorwerp” in the IC 2497 system.

We present results of recent Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar (AMXP) IGR J17062−6143 that show that it resides in a circular, ultracompact binary with a 38-minute orbital period. NICER observed the source for ≈26 ks over a 5.3-day span in 2017 August, and again for 14 and 11 ks in 2017 October and November, respectively. A power spectral analysis of the August exposure confirms the previous detection of pulsations at 163.656 Hz in Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) data, and reveals phase modulation due to orbital motion of the neutron star. A coherent search for the orbital solution using the Z
2 method finds a best-fitting circular orbit with a period of 2278.21 s (37.97 minutes), a projected semimajor axis of 0.00390 lt-s, and a barycentric pulsar frequency of 163.6561105 Hz. This is currently the shortest known orbital period for an AMXP. The mass function is 9.12 × 10−8
M
⊙, presently the smallest known for a stellar binary. The minimum donor mass ranges from ≈0.005 to 0.007 M
⊙ for a neutron star mass from 1.2 to 2 M
⊙. Assuming mass transfer is driven by gravitational radiation, we find donor mass and binary inclination bounds of 0.0175–0.0155 M
⊙ and 19° < i < 27.°5, where the lower and upper bounds correspond to 1.4 and 2 M
⊙ neutron stars, respectively. Folding the data accounting for the orbital modulation reveals a sinusoidal profile with fractional amplitude 2.04 ± 0.11% (0.3–3.2 keV).

O artigo sugere a contextualização do ensino do postulado de Bohr com o cotidiano social, usando o conceito de quimioluminescência a partir da química forense, com o objetivo de instigar o interesse e o senso crítico do aluno, mostrando uma aplicação prática da reação química do luminol. O estudo se realizou por meio da leitura e análise de três livros didáticos de química do primeiro ano do ensino médio, utilizados no Município de Campo Mourão, comparando-os com as Diretrizes Curriculares da Educação Básica de Química do Estado do Paraná (DCE). Foram analisados os livros Química Cidadã de Wildson Santos e Gerson Mól, Química de Ricardo Feltre e Química de Martha Reis, que apresentaram algumas distinções a partir dos critérios estabelecidos. Além disso, foi proposta uma atividade prática para uma melhor contextualização com o cotidiano dos alunos. Ao término da pesquisa foi observado que o modelo atômico de Bohr possui algumas carências nos livros didáticos analisados. Além disso, por apresentarem pouca contextualização, vai contra o que as DCE defendem.

O seguinte trabalho teve como objetivo verificar e categorizar as atividades experimentais contidas nas seções do conteúdo de pilhas e baterias nos Livros Didáticos de Química aprovados no PNLD 2015. Adotamos o referencial teórico da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2011) para uma melhor elucidação dos dados. As análises prosseguiram de forma que em três livros foram encontrados experimentos sobre pilhas e baterias em uma visão ilustrativa/descritiva e no quarto livro foi encontrado uma forma de análise da composição de uma pilha, sendo classificada como experimentação investigativa. Com isso pudemos notar que a maior parte dos livros de química no PNLD aborda os conteúdos experimentais de pilhas e baterias de forma empírico-indutiva, com apenas um livro trazendo um tipo de abordagem investigativa
O Manual do Mundo: as derivas da educação química

Published: May 2018

Este trabalho procurou apresentar e pôr em discussão o movimento da química no canal conhecido como Manual do Mundo, um canal de entretenimento educativo que já interessou a mais de 8 milhões de pessoas. O canal especializou-se em produzir vídeos demonstrativos de experimentos de ciências usando uma linguagem informal endereçada ao público jovem. Olhamos a química que é deslocada do mundo off-line ao mundo online como estratégia de arregimentação e convencimento para dar visibilidade e prestígio ao discurso científico que esse canal veicula mantendo o canal em funcionamento. Esses novos espaços de mobilidade do jovem estão produzindo uma outra forma de pensar e de aprender. Nos apropriamos das teorizações de Bruno Latour sobre enunciados e modalidades para analisar as derivas em relação ao discurso pedagógico apresentado no vídeo Como fazer tinta invisível. Em seu interior vimos os elementos que o apresentador, Iberê Thenório, utiliza como estratégia de arregimentação de aliados, que colocam em circulação enunciados científicos capazes de deslocar a química a lugares outros que não os institucionalmente naturalizados. A atuação do Iberê, o híbrido jornalista-cientista-professor, é um dos pontos que causam o sucesso do canal, uma vez que, ao se apropriar de vários elementos coloca em movimento sua ciência: a química experimental do laboratório.

A busca por alimentos minimamente processados cresce a cada dia, sendo que um dos motivos mais comuns é a busca por uma alimentação mais saudável e conveniência, visando alimentos semelhantes aos in natura e que contenham compostos benéficos. Após a colheita e processamento, os vegetais sofrem perda de água, elevação da taxa respiratória e aumento da produção de etileno e danos mecânicos, ocasionando a redução da vida útil do produto. A utilização de ferramentas como refrigeração e atmosfera modificada podem desacelerar este processo, prolongando assim a vida de prateleira. O objetivo deste trabalho foi a caracterização físico-química, de compostos fenólicos e de clorofila em brócolis minimamente processados e armazenados sob refrigeração com e sem atmosfera modificada. No uso de atmosfera modificada observou-se uma menor retenção de e compostos fenólicos e clorofilas, porém nas amostras com atmosfera modificada, não se observou diferença nos valores de textura, pH e cor L*, o que indica a manutenção das características sensoriais similares ao produtos fresco. Dessa forma, recomenda-se o uso de atmosfera modificada para manter características do produto que serão distribuídos e ou armazenados por tempo mais prolongados.

Os consumidores valorizam alimentos nutritivos, saborosos e que contribuam com a manutenção da saúde reduzindo os riscos de doenças. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver e caracterizar queijo petit suisse probiótico acrescido de farinha de chia. Queijo petit suisse sabor morango foi feito adicionando 3 diferentes concentrações (0,4%; 0,6% e 0,8%) de farinha de chia. Além disso, foram adicionados 108 - 1010 UFC.g-1 de Lactobacillus casei. Os tempos de análise foram 0, 15 e 30 dias de fabricação do produto armazenado a 8°C. Foram feitas análises físico-químicas, microbiológicas e teste de aceitação e intenção de compra utilizando escalas de 9 e 5 pontos. O produto manteve-se de acordo com os parâmetros microbiológicos para queijo petit suisse. Para os parâmetros físico químicos o produto não apresentou variação entre as amostras. Apresentou uma boa aceitação sensorial, sugerindo que este produto probiótico associado à farinha de chia representa uma nova opção de consumo.

Segundo a OMS, probióticos são “microrganismos vivos que administrados em quantidades adequadas conferem benefícios à saúde do hospedeiro”. No presente artigo de revisão, buscou-se descrever a atividade imunomoduladora e antimicrobiana de probióticos. O trabalho mostrou que, fundamentalmente, a atividade imunomoduladora de probióticos está relacionada ao estímulo de expressão de citocinas anti-inflamatórias, tais como IL-10 e TGF- β, bem como a produção de IgA e a ativação de células T reguladoras. Em relação a atividade antimicrobiana, os efeitos benéficos sobre a homeostasia da microbiota normal são os mais descritos, além da produção de enzimas bacteriolíticas, subprodutos de via metabólica (ácidos orgânicos e peróxido de hidrogênio) e bacteriocinas, todos com ação antimicrobiana. Conclui-se que os probióticos são ferramentas úteis de promoção de saúde, especialmente aquela relacionada ao trato digestório.

Blends elaborados com frutas e hortaliças não convencionais, como a capuchinha são alternativas de bebidas com aceitação sensorial, boas características nutricionais, além de ser opção para o desenvolvimento de novos produtos. Para aumentar o tempo de prateleira deste tipo de bebida são necessários processamentos térmicos, que podem causar alterações indesejáveis. Este estudo objetivou desenvolver e avaliar o efeito dos processamentos térmicos na retenção de compostos bioativos, aceitação sensorial e características físico-químicas, de blends de polpa de maracujá e flor de capuchinha. Constatou-se que os conteúdos de carotenoides variaram de 544,35 (µg/100g), para o blend in natura, até 779,92 (µg/100g) para o produto pasteurizado. O teor de fenólicos totais, não diferiu significativamente entre os tratamentos, enquanto as antocianinas foram significativamente degradadas pelo processamento térmico. Em relação às características físico-químicas, o parâmetro a* do blend pasteurizado diferiu dos demais, sendo este de maior intensidade na coloração vermelha.  Os SST do blend pasteurizado (12,78°Brix) e esterilizado (12,81°Brix) foram superiores ao do blend in natura. A ATT (% ácido cítrico) foi menor no blend esterilizado, já entre os blends in natura e pasteurizado, não houve diferença significativa. O ratio diferiu em todos os tratamentos. O pH e a matéria seca não diferiram entre os tratamentos. Em relação à aceitação sensorial, o blend pasteurizado obteve as maiores médias e o esterilizado as menores. De forma geral, o blend elaborado é uma boa alternativa para desenvolvimento de novos produtos, pois possui boa aceitação e é fonte de compostos bioativos mesmo após o processamento térmico.
