Authors:   Medical Institute of Sumy State University, Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, Boyko A.V. ,   Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Kiev
Published: March 2022

The objective: to study features of restration of reproductive function of women after organ-preserving operations on ovaries. Materials and methods. Investigated morfofunctionale condition of ovaries at 100 patients with a simple serous cystadenoma (n=50) and a mature teratoma (n=50) – before organ-preserving operations (cystectomia, resection). Taking into account the volume of the executed operative measure, surveyed were distributed on groups. The complex of the conducted researches included clinical, endocrinologic, biochemical, morphological and staticsti methods. Results. The women who have undergone organ-preserving operations concerning benign tumors of ovaries, to the most vulnerable still have reproductive health. Results of the conducted research showed that patients with normal ovariale reserve in the majority of observations have not changed indicators of fecundity. Complications of pregnancy were more often taped at patients with moderate depression and low ovariale reserve that it is necessary to consider when conducting pregnancy at these patients. The data obtained by us confirm opinion that in connection with the high frequency of sterility at patients with the lowered ovariale reserve after an operative measure in the late reproductive period use of auxiliary genesial technologies for realization of reproductive function is shown. Conclusion. The obtained data need to be considered when developing algorithm of diagnostic, treatment-and-prophylactic and rehabilitational actions. Key words: benign tumors of ovaries, reproductive age, restoration of reproductive function.

Authors:   Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Kiev, Tkachuk R.R. ,   Kyiv City Center for Reproductive and Perinatal Medicine
Published: March 2022

The objective: is to analyze the frequency of gestational complications and labor abnormalities in pregnant women with different types of vegetative regulation disorders. Materials and methods. 129 women were examined. The type of vegetative regulation was determined by recording the time and spectral parameters of heart rate variability by computer cardiointervalography with use of CardioLab Bebicard diagnostic system. The main group consisted of 66 pregnant women with established vegetative regulation disorders. 63 patients with a normal vegetative state, a balanced level of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity formed a control group. To assess the status of the mother–placenta–fetus, an ultrasound examination with doplerometry was performed. Results. A significant increase of the central regulatory circuit activity in pregnant women with vegetative dysfunction was established. The cardiointervalography indicate a balanced activity of the vegetative nervous system in the control group. The gestational complications were significantly more frequent in women of the main group in the context of detected vegetative dysfunction than in the control group. Labor anomalies were more common in pregnant women of the main group. Women with high parasympathetic astivity noted an increased frequency of labor dystocia. In patients with a superiority of sympathetic and humoral regulation, an increased frequency of weakness of labour activity was observed. The fast deliveries often determined in pregnant women with decreased activity of both departments of autonomic nervous system. The incidence of urgent caesarian deliveries was significantly higher in the main group, including due to the ineffectiveness of the medical correction of labor abnormalities. Conclusions. The cardiointervalography is informative for the diagnosis of vegetative regulation and adaptive disorders, which may be the prerequisites for the gestational complications and labor abnormalities development. Using the heart rate variability analysis in pregnant women will improve the early prediction of gestational pathology and pathological birth process, reduce the risk of obstetric and perinatal complications. Key words: heart rate variability, vegetative regulation, gestational complications, labor activity abnormalities.

The speech act of apologising in Japanese online communication
Authors: Diegoli Eugenia
Published: April 2022

Gomen, the object of analysis in this study, is an informal expression commonly signalled as an apology in Japanese. Drawing from a corpus of online Q&A forums in Japanese compiled by the author, the study demonstrates that the real communicative intent of gomen can be something different from an expression of apology, or indeed can be apologising plus other intentions. First, the article describes the pragmatic functions of gomen in real-life situations. Second, it shows different patterns of speech act realisation with respect to gomen when used as an apologetic device. This argument is developed by analysing multiple linguistic and contextual variables that frequently co-occur with gomen and play a role in the realisation of its pragmatic functions.
Discourse markers in the making
Authors: Shibasaki Reijirou
Published: April 2022

This study examines the discourse-pragmatic functions of the discourse marker (DM, hereafter) jijitsujoo ‘as a matter of practice, practically speaking’ in comparison with another DM jijitsu ‘in fact, the fact is’ in the history of Japanese. The gist of the survey results is that, while jijitsu serves to introduce telling evidence for the preceding statement, jijitsujoo reformulates the preceding statement with what the speaker regards to be relevant, while disregarding irrelevant information. In other words, jijitsujoo plays a more subjective role as a DM than jijitsu in that the former can provide the speaker’s own stance toward an immediate topic. These DM functions can be fully fulfilled in sentence-initial position, presumably because they are connective in essence.
Diachronic change and synchronic variation of the Chinese discourse marker shishishang
Authors: He Xiao
Published: April 2022

This article discusses shishishang in Mandarin Chinese with three major objectives: (1) to describe the diachronic grammaticalisation process of shishishang from an adverbial phrase to a discourse marker based on the CCL corpus; (2) to investigate the structural and semantic properties of shishishang in Mandarin Chinese; and (3) to analyse the discourse-pragmatic functions of the discourse marker shishishang focusing on its ideational, textual, and interpersonal functions. With the method of corpus retrieval and sorting, this article finds that shishishang, as a discourse marker, has three kinds of functions: semantic connection, textual cohesion, and interpersonal function, which originate from its diachronic development.
Talking about Sexuality within Catholic Consecrated Communities in Poland
Authors: Sadlon Wojciech , Jewdokimow Marcin
Published: April 2022

Currently, the topic of sexuality in the context of Catholic consecrated life is studied predominantly from the perspective of sexual abuse. In our study we sought to unveil how sexuality is lived out by sisters and brothers in Catholic monasteries in Poland, very specific groups that construct their identity and everyday practices by suppressing sexuality, resulting from the vow of chastity. In order to reach out to the attitudes and experiences of this group, we employed the mixed methods logic combining it with the world café method (n = 92) with a representative survey (n = 1583). This article takes the form of a reflective narrative in which the authors discuss the linguistic and practical issues of the research, focusing on its qualitative stage. We present a methodological approach to elaborate suitable language to study and discuss sexuality within the context of religious life, which touched upon the challenge of fine-tuning the relationship between the theological content of “chastity” and the popular term “sexuality” taking into account both the Catholic institutional and Polish cultural contexts. We uncover the process of our study and attitudes and experiences of the chaste religious, shed light on the methodological issues related to the studies of sexuality among the religious, and methodologically contribute to other topics taken into account when discussing sexuality and Catholicism.
Nonlocal effects on Rayleigh-type surface wave in a micropolar piezoelectric medium
Authors: Singh Baljeet , Sangwan Asha , Singh Jagdish
Published: March 2022

The properties of Rayleigh-type surface wave in a linear, homogeneous and transversely isotropic nonlocal micropolar piezoelectric solid half-space are explored. Dispersion relations for Rayleigh-type surface wave are derived for both charge free and electrically shorted cases. Using an algorithm of iteration method in MATLAB software, the wave speed of Rayleigh wave is computed for relevant material constants. The effects of nonlocality, angular frequency, micropolarity and piezoelectricity are illustrated graphically on the propagation speed of Rayleigh wave.
A meshfree-based topology optimization approach without calculation of sensitivity
Authors: Nguyen Minh Ngoc , Bui Tinh Quoc
Published: March 2022

This paper presents a novel topology optimization approach without calculation of sensitivity for the minimum compliance problems, based on the meshfree Radial Point Interpolation Method (RPIM). Relying on the algorithm of Proportional Topology Optimization (PTO), material is distributed using only information of the objective function (which is the elastic strain energy). Material properties are interpolated by the well-known Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) technique; however the pseudo density (design variables) are not defined on the element center as usually encountered in finite element-based approaches, but on integration points. Since no element exists in meshfree analysis, this would be a natural choice. More importantly, the number of integration points is in general larger than that of elements or that of nodes, resulting in higher resolution of the density field. The feasibility and efficiency of the proposed approach are demonstrated and discussed via several numerical examples.
Classificação das doenças neurometabólicas hereditárias baseada em aspectos radiológicos: ensaio iconográfico
Authors: Pedri André Felix , Guedes Marcelo dos Santos , Castro Cláudio Campi de
Published: April 2022

Resumo As doenças neurometabólicas hereditárias representam um desafio diagnóstico e precisam de classificações eficientes para sua compreensão. São um grupo de doenças raras, mas atingem pelo menos um a cada mil nascimentos. Algumas têm possibilidade terapêutica. Os quadros clínico e radiológico são variáveis e, às vezes, superponíveis, a depender da fase da doença. Por isso, observam-se na literatura vários tipos de classificações, algumas de difícil aplicação prática. O objetivo deste estudo é ilustrar a classificação das doenças neurometabólicas hereditárias baseada exclusivamente em achados radiológicos. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo a partir de exames de imagem do sistema nervoso central, particularmente de crianças, realizados em uma rede de hospitais. Todos os casos foram estudados por tomografia computadorizada multidetectores e/ou ressonância magnética, tendo sido avaliados por dois neurorradiologistas. Consideraram-se os casos com diagnóstico definitivo. A classificação propõe 10 subgrupos, de acordo com os achados radiológicos. Todos os casos estudados apresentaram, pelo menos, um desses achados. Na maioria dos casos observou-se mais de um achado, o que aumentou a especificidade e restringiu os diagnósticos diferenciais. Após avaliar os dados de literatura e os deste estudo, demonstra-se que é possível classificar as doenças neurometabólicas hereditárias pelo aspecto radiológico, o que favorece um diagnóstico definitivo.

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar os padrões tomográficos relacionados aos agentes etiológicos da pneumonia em pacientes durante o primeiro ano após transplante renal. Materiais e Métodos: Foram analisados dados de prontuários de 956 pacientes submetidos a transplante renal, no período de 2013 a 2018, em um centro transplantador renal do nordeste do Brasil. Nos pacientes que desenvolveram pneumonia, os agentes etiológicos foram classificados em bactérias piogênicas, micobactérias, fungos, vírus e pneumonia polimicrobiana, enquanto os padrões tomográficos foram classificados em consolidação, broncopneumonia, pneumonia intersticial e nódulos e massas. Para verificar associação estatística entre micro-organismos e padrões tomográficos, foi utilizado o teste exato de Fisher, com p < 0,001. Resultados: Foram encontrados 101 casos de pneumonia, dos quais 60 (59,4%) tiveram agente etiológico identificado, sendo as bactérias piogênicas as mais frequentes, detectadas em 22 (36,7%) dos casos. Entre os pacientes com agente causal identificado, o padrão tomográfico predominante foi o de nódulos e massas, identificado em 25 (41,7%) casos. Foi observada associação entre bactérias piogênicas e o padrão de consolidação, fungos com nódulos e massas, bem como entre agentes virais e padrão intersticial. Conclusão: Foi demonstrada associação estatística entre micro-organismos causadores de pneumonia e padrões tomográficos, informação que pode contribuir para o planejamento da terapia de pacientes transplantados renais.

Published: April 2022

Estudos com edições anteriores da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares (POF) indicam que, no Brasil, pagar um plano de saúde aumenta o percentual da renda gasto com saúde e não reduz a probabilidade de ter gastos excessivos com saúde. Descrevem-se relações entre gastos com planos de saúde, renda e faixas etárias, destacando o efeito de ter plano sobre a probabilidade de comprometer mais de 40% da renda com despesas relacionadas à saúde. Análise de microdados da POF 2017/2018 para determinar o comprometimento da renda domiciliar per capita dos pagantes de planos por faixa etária e por tipo de plano, e regressão logística para fatores associados a comprometer mais de 40% da renda com despesas de saúde. Em 12 meses, R$ 78,1 bilhões foram gastos com planos médicos por 22,1 milhões de pessoas. O comprometimento da renda com planos individuais aumenta consistentemente com a idade, passando de 4,5% da renda domiciliar per capita (< 19 anos) para 10,6% dessa renda (79 anos ou mais). A probabilidade de comprometer mais de 40% da renda com despesas de saúde diminui com a renda, cresce com a idade e é maior para quem paga plano de saúde. A despesa apenas com os planos supera 40% da renda domiciliar per capita para 5,6% das pessoas com 60 anos ou mais que pagam planos individuais e para 4% das que pagam planos empresariais. As pessoas nas faixas de idade mais altas e faixas de renda mais baixas são as com maior probabilidade de comprometer mais de 40% da renda com despesas de saúde. Rever as regras de reajuste por idade dos planos é uma alternativa para tentar mitigar esse problema.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effect of soybean meal (SBM) particle size on nutrient digestibility and the growth performance of nursery piglets. Sixty-three piglets (BW = 6.86 kg ± 0.56; 23 d of age) were distributed in a randomized block design (by initial weight and sex) with 3 dietary treatments: diets with 1,017 µm (unground); 585 µm; and 411µm SBM, with 7 replicates of 3 piglets each. All diets were offered ad libitum in mash form, formulated differently according to three growing phases: (1) with 20% of SBM, from 23 to 32 d of age; (2) with 25% of SBM, from 32 to 44 d of age, and (3) with 30% of SBM, from 44 to 63 d of age. For the first 21 d, pigs fed diets with a medium particle size of SBM (585mm) had better average weight gain and feed/gain ratio (P<0.05). The average feed intake, average body weight gain, and feed/gain ratio from 44 to 63 d improved (P<0.05) with increasing SBM particle sizes, and the average live weight for the overall period increased with coarser SBM (P<0.05). There was a marginally improvement (P < 0.1) on digestible energy as particle size of SBM decreased; although, no differences (P > 0.05) in the coefficients of apparent digestibility of dry matter and crude protein for the assessed SBM particle sizes were observed. It was concluded that the grinding of dietary SBM is not required for piglets during the nursery phase.

Abstract Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is the most common rust disease of wheat. The fungus is an obligate parasite capable of producing infectious urediniospores. To study the genetic structure of the leaf rust population 20 RAPD primers were evaluated on 15 isolates samples collected in Pakistan. A total of 105 RAPD fragments were amplified with an average of 7 fragments per primer. The number of amplified fragments varied from 1 to 12. GL Decamer L-07 and GL Decamer L-01 amplified the highest number of bands (twelve) and primer GL Decamer A-03 amplified the lowest number of bands i.e one. Results showed that almost all investigated isolates were genetically different that confirms high genetic diversity within the leaf rust population. Rust spores can follow the migration pattern in short and long distances to neighbor areas. Results indicated that the greatest variability was revealed by 74.9% of genetic differentiation within leaf rust populations. These results suggested that each population was not completely identical and high gene flow has occurred among the leaf rust population of different areas. The highest differentiation and genetic distance among the Pakistani leaf rust populations were detected between the leaf rust population in NARC isolate (NARC-4) and AARI-11and the highest similarity was observed between NARC isolates (NARC-4) and (NARC-5). The present study showed the leaf rust population in Pakistan is highly dynamic and variable.
Accounting professionals and whistleblowing: a typology of the influence of institutional logics
Authors: Ayres Rosângela Mesquita , Sauerbronn Fernanda Filgueiras , Fonseca Ana Carolina Pimentel Duarte da
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT The main objective of this article is to understand how institutional logics (ILs) - family, religion, community, state, profession, organization, and capital and labor market - influence (or not) the Brazilian accounting professional in their intention to report irregularities. The study helps fill an epistemic gap by using the theory of ILs to comprehensively understand the professional in their world, in contrast with the whistleblowing studies that are generally based on behavioral theories. Most of those studies are quantitative, using the vignette technique (elaborated by researchers), which highlights the relevance of this paper, as it chooses to allow the accountants to reflect on the phenomenon and elaborate explanations for their actions and the dimensions that surround them. The main contribution lies in the theoretical advancement in accounting by extending the classic whistleblowing model, in order to socioinstitutionally recognize the individual’s reflection process (at the micro level) and the structuring elements (macro and meso levels) involved. In methodological terms, the study is qualitative and interpretative, based on content analysis (CA) through the lens of the hermeneutic circle. Standing out among the results are: (a) a typology of the influence of ILs on the accounting professional’s intention to report irregularities; (b) the differentiation of influences that favor whistleblowing or lead to the avoidance of it according to various logics; and (c) discussions about the premises that greater protection and support for the whistleblower would favor whistleblowing or, in contrast, that recognition and financial reward would be considered as factors that would not favor whistleblowing, among other aspects. The impact and applicability of the study derive from an alternative approach in epistemic-methodological terms, enabling an understanding of the socioinstitutional structure that influences whistleblowing intentions, thus allowing for the construction of mechanisms that increase the potential for whistleblowing.
Workforce and earnings management: Evidence in the Brazilian capital market
Authors: Rocha Marcelo Cardoso , Pereira Antonio Gualberto , Oliveira José Sérgio Casé de
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT We aimed to investigate the relationship between workforce [força de trabalho (FT)] and earnings management in the Brazilian capital market and, additionally, identify whether operating activities management is a substitute for management by accruals. Evidence of the effect of the FT on earnings management practice is controversial, sometimes showing an effect on the reduction or smoothing of profit or even no effect. In Brazil, there are no studies that investigate how the intensity of the FT affects the managers’ behavior regarding the manipulation of profit. The research is relevant to the regulatory bodies because it brings empirical evidence of the incentives generated by the pressure of the FT so that the top executives reduce the result of the period, in a substitute way, to the manipulation of the company's operational activities. In addition, it is relevant for users of accounting information, as it demonstrates that the FT influences the recognition of results, affecting the quality of accounting information. The findings may assist regulatory bodies and investors, as it demonstrates that pressure from the FT is an important incentive for decision-making by executives and workers at the operating levels of companies and can support the improvement of labor regulations. Following Pae (2005), we use Jones' modified model (1991) with lagged accruals to detect earnings management. To capture the FT intensity, we employed the proxies presented by Hilary (2006) and a variable calculated from the statement of value added [demonstração do valor adicionado (DVA)]. We analyzed 119 companies listed on the Brazilian stock exchange during the period 2012-2018. It were found that the intensity of the FT negatively influences earnings management by accruals [gerenciamento de resultados por accruals (GRA)], expanding the evidence on the effects of workers' bargaining power on accounting choices.
EFEITO DE EXTRATOS AQUOSOS DE PLANTAS NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DE PLUTELLA XYLOSTELLA (L.) (LEPIDOPTERA: PLUTELLIDAE) EM COUVE

Published: April 2022

RESUMO Avaliou-se o efeito de extratos aquosos de plantas na concentração de 10%, no desenvolvimento de Plutella xylostella, sobre discos de folhas de couve, imersos no extrato. Os discos tratados foram colocados em placas juntamente com 12 lagartas recém-eclodidas avaliando-se a viabilidade e duração das fases larval e pupal e peso de pupa após 24 horas. A mortalidade larval foi afetada pelos extratos de Enterolobium contortisilliquum, Nicotiana tabacum Sapindus saponaria e Trichilia pallida, resultando em 100% de mortalidade, seguidos dos extratos de T. pallida (93,8%), Azadirachta indica (89,6%), Symphytum officinale (77,1%), Bougainvillea glabra (72,9%), Achillea millefolium (70,8%) e Chenopodium ambrosioides (70,8%). A duração da fase larval variou de 8,2 dias (testemunha) a 10,7 dias (A. indica). Houve correlação direta entre a duração e a mortalidade de larvas, sendo que os extratos que causaram maior mortalidade, causaram também aumento na duração larval. A maior diferença no peso de pupa em relação à testemunha foi observada no tratamento com extrato de B. glabra, que causou redução de 1,2 mg. Em todos os parâmetros avaliados, T. pallida apresentou maior toxicidade em relação a Trichilia catiguae os ramos foram mais tóxicos que as folhas em ambas as espécies, diferença observada também entre as partes vegetais de S. saponaria, sendo os frutos mais tóxicos que as folhas.

Published: April 2022

RESUMO Lecanicillium lecanii é um entomopatógeno capaz de controlar várias pragas como afídeos, coccídeos e aleirodídeos. Na Europa é utilizado em culturas como pepino, tomate, ornamentais entre outras. Para que seja eficientemente utilizado no Brasil há necessidade de adaptá-lo às condições brasileiras de cultivo assim como produzi-lo em grandes quantidades. Assim, este trabalho objetivou avaliar diferentes concentrações de dextrose (D) e extrato de levedura (E.L.) em g/L, 60 g D – 60 g EL, 60 g D – 40 g EL, 60 g D – 20 g EL, 60 g D – 10 g EL, 40 g D – 40 g EL, 40 g D – 20 g EL, 40 g D – 10 g EL, 20 g D – 60 g EL, 20 g D – 40 g EL, sendo a dextrose a fonte de C e o extrato de levedura a fonte de N, na produção de massa seca e esporulação deste fungo. O fungo foi cultivado até o décimo dia, com avaliação a cada 2 dias. Verificou-se que combinações mais próximas de D-EL foram mais eficientes em relação à massa seca micelial e 8 dias de cultivo são suficientes para a produção máxima de conídios. Este fungo é exigente em carbono já que as combinações com maior dosagem de C (60 g D – 60 g EL, 60 g D – 40 g EL, 60 g D – 20 g EL, 60 g D – 10 g EL, 40 g D – 40 g EL) não diferiram estatisticamente.

Foram utilizados camundongos fêmeas (Balb C) entre 6-8 semanas de idade, superovuladas com os hormônios eCG e hCG, acasaladas com machos inteiros para colheita dos zigotos. Esses foram separados em 3 grupos, controle e exposto 24h a duas concentrações da suspensão viral (10 µL e 30 µL). Cada grupo foi dividido para análise da morfologia e para avaliação da presença de partículas virais empregando a reação em cadeia pela polimerase (PCR), após o procedimento de lavagens seqüenciais e tratamento com tripsina. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, os zigotos murinos poderão fornecer subsídios como modelo experimental para estudos sobre a biologia das interações embrião-vírus, uma vez que se apresentaram sensíveis ao BoHV-1.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe and discuss the participation of adolescents from a quilombola community in the transformation of the comic “Possible Story” (“Uma História Possível”), from the Comic on alcohol, into an educational game. Method: Implementation of the creative and sensitive method of art-based research, with adolescents from a quilombola community in the state of Espírito Santo, for the development of a board game. Results: The democratic and interactive space favored the problematization of images and narratives about alcohol consumption mediated in the comic book. The group selected scenes, reordered the story, devised questions and riddles, formulated true and false assertions in a 17-card composition of the board game. The potential of the game as a content mediating tool to promote learning, reinforcement, and fixation of scientific content was evaluated. Conclusion: The active and dynamic participation of adolescents took place from conception to evaluation of the board game, encouraging them to reflect on a community context of cultural permissiveness of alcohol use.

Abstract Several possible correlations between dioecy and eco-morphological features have been suggested to infer the conditions that would favor this sexual system. Dioecy has been associated either with specialized or generalized pollination systems. The genus Simarouba has six dioecious species that seem to have generalized pollinators. In this study, we examined the reproductive biology aspects of two Simarouba species to evaluate which of their eco-morphological attributes may favor dioecy. Our data suggest that S. amara and S. versicolor have small, inconspicuous, and abundant flowers of nocturnal anthesis and are only pollinated by nocturnal moths. They have a stable sexual system with flower, inflorescence, and flowering phenology dimorphism that is part of their pollination system strategies. Male plants of both species produce more flowers per individual than do female plants. A larger floral display may have an essential role in increasing male reproductive success. However, both species showed low reproductive efficacy, especially S. versicolor. The low reproductive efficacy may be due to the lack of pollinators or to the inefficacy of the pollinators available locally.

Abstract The taxonomic floristic survey of the Heliotropiaceae species in Ceará state is part of the “Flora of Ceará: knowing to conserve” project. The study was based on specimens deposited in national and international herbaria, relevant bibliography, images of type specimens, and field trips. Fourteen species belonging to three genera were recorded: Euploca (six spp.) was the most representative in number of species, followed by Heliotropium and Myriopus (four spp. each). Euploca paradoxa is endemic to Brazil, being a new occurrence for Ceará. Most species occur in Conservation Units, except for Euploca humilis, E. paradoxa, Heliotropium angiospermum, and H. funkiae. The species occur predominantly in dry habitats, such as Stepic Savanna (Caatinga), however some species have been recorded in more humid areas, such as Ombrophilous Forest and coastal vegetation.

Abstract This study aimed to carry out a floristic inventory and update the geographical distribution of Portulacaceae species that occur in the state of Ceará, Northeast Region of Brazil. The field expeditions for collection and observation of species were realized between March/2015 and March/2021. Six species of Portulaca have been recorded in the state of Ceará, being identified mainly by habit, margin and leaf shape, flower coloration, operculum shape, and seed ornamentation. All species occur in Conservation Units in the state of Ceará: P. elatior, P. halimoides, P. mucronata, P. oleracea, P. pilosa and P. umbraticola. The highest floristic richness was found in the Stepic Savanna, where all species were recorded. Portulaca halimoides had the widest distribution in Ceará, with 17 records, occurring in various vegetation types, especially in the Stepic Savanna. Portulaca mucronata was registered exclusively in Stepic Savanna, being the species with the lowest number of records. Identification key, descriptions, comments about the species, taxonomic relationships, phenological data and photographs of the species are presented here.
O discurso irônico em narrativas curtas de Bernardo Kucinski
Authors: Pereira Helena Bonito Couto , Rocha Fernanda Reis da
Published: April 2022

Resumo A ironia consiste em um artifício linguístico-literário relevante para a constituição de discursos ambíguos, para a construção da comicidade ou, ainda, para o estabelecimento de uma atmosfera de combate e crítica política e social. O presente artigo visa analisar como se constrói a ironia nas narrativas curtas de Bernardo Kucinski reunidas em Você vai voltar para mim e outros contos, que apresentam personagens expostas às situações de opressão e violência durante a ditadura militar brasileira. Verificou-se o papel decisivo do emprego da ironia para conduzir à interpretação das narrativas, fazendo confluir todo o potencial desse recurso para a denúncia de arbitrariedade e violência vigentes no contexto turbulento da ditadura militar.
Nietzsche e a tarefa do filósofo do futuro
Authors: Oliveira Jelson R. de
Published: April 2022

Resumo: Pretende-se neste artigo analisar a noção nietzschiana de filósofo do futuro e sua contribuição para o surgimento do novo homem, tendo em vista, prioritariamente, Além de bem e mal. Para tanto, iniciaremos analisando de que forma esta obra pode ser considerada, segundo a pretensão de seu autor, como uma crítica da modernidade e, consequentemente, de que forma ela se constitui como o manifesto de uma tarefa que Nietzsche define como própria dos filósofos do futuro: a superação do passado, ou seja, das formas metafísicas, dogmáticas e ascéticas que orientaram a filosofia ao longo da história, por meio dos “trabalhadores filosóficos”, que agora devem ceder lugar aos autênticos filósofos, cujas lentes fisiopsicológicas examinam o pensamento como sintoma da saúde ou da doença de seus autores. Com isso, Nietzsche substitui a antiga tarefa do filósofo (buscar a verdade) por uma nova missão (buscar a saúde). Com essa reflexão, acredita-se margear alguns dos problemas centrais da pesquisa do homenageado desse dossiê, prof. Wilson Antonio Frezzatti Jr.
“Nenhum sentimento para defender algo, para proteger algo”. De como, segundo Nietzsche, a estética não pode substituir o conhecimento
Authors: Hanza Kathia
Published: April 2022

Resumo: O artigo se ocupa da relação entre arte (ou estética) e conhecimento na Lição inaugural, no Nascimento da tragédia e n’A genealogia da moral de Nietzsche. Seu propósito é o de mostrar que, nesses escritos, Nietzsche não propõe que a arte possa substituir o conhecimento, ou, muito menos, anulá-lo. Em vez disso, a estética desempenha um papel na estimativa de valor, o que contribui para o conhecimento. Por essa via passam a se acumular alguns mal-entendidos sobre a relação entre arte e conhecimento segundo Nietzsche, e também assoma o “autor” Nietzsche, a despeito das convenções da escrita acadêmica.
Trauma, Memoria y Antagonismo Político: Algunas Puntualizaciones sobre el Papel de los Sitios de Memoria en la Elaboración de los Efectos Transgeneracionales de la Violencia Política
Authors: Sánchez José Cabrera
Published: April 2022

RESUMEN El presente texto efectúa una problematización teórica del carácter conflictivo de la memoria colectiva desde la perspectiva de la teoría del antagonismo propuesta por Laclau, el cual constituye un aporte de este trabajo, dado que resulta una aproximación novedosa para la comprensión de los fenómenos de trauma histórico desde una perspectiva atenta a la dimensión política de la memoria. A partir de esta problematización se reflexiona acerca de la relevancia de los sitios de memoria como espacios de inscripción y tramitación simbólica de los traumas colectivos, los que dada su particular naturaleza material y ubicación en el espacio público pueden operar como hitos de referencia para la elaboración de las repercusiones transgeneracionales de los traumas colectivos.
Unraveling Spatial, Structural, and Social Country-Level Conditions for the Emergence of the Foreign Fighter Phenomenon: An Exploratory Data Mining Approach to the Case Of ISIS
Authors: Pájaro Agustín , Duran Ignacio J. , Rodrigo Pablo
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT Governments face a tough and timeless challenge: dealing with the capability of radical terrorist organizations to recruit foreign fighters. However, scholars so far have ignored that this phenomenon pertains to the realm of complexity theory, failing to determine the combination of country-level variables able to catalyze this issue. This is an important concern if countries want to design effective socio-political strategies aimed at decreasing terrorist groups’ capability to enroll foreign fighters or, at least, to curtail the penetration of their radical message. Thus, to address this issue we undertake an exploratory data mining approach (knowledge discovery in databases) to discover country-level patterns which might engender conditions that induce people to join an extremist organization, based on the case of ISIS. After a pre-selection procedure, the 950 variables initially selected were reduced to 22, and subsequently used in decision tree algorithms. Findings reveal the existence of six specific country clusters, which are characterized by some spatial, structural (economic and political), and social variables that create favorable conditions for the emergence of the phenomenon. Academic and practical recommendations are then discussed.
Effects of processing type on shear modulus and damping ratio of waste tire-sand mixtures
Authors: Edinçliler A. , Yildiz O.
Published: April 2022

Processed waste tires can be used as additives for geotechnical applications in earthquake-prone areas. The increasing use of waste tires additives requires a better understanding of their dynamic behaviors. Processed waste tires as granular and fiber-shaped rubber particles under the same experimental conditions have not been studied before. The main purpose of this study is to carry out these experiments to determine the effects of two different processing techniques on the shear modulus and damping ratios of the mixtures. It is also the first time that the effects of fiber-shaped rubber particle inclusions are determined in detail. In addition, the results of similar tests using different processed waste tires were evaluated. The effects of the processed waste tires are given by evaluating the literature and this study together. It has been found that depending on the size, aspect ratio and content of the rubber material, the type of processing can significantly affect the dynamic properties of the mixture. The tested materials may be suitable as base isolation material. Of all the studies evaluated, the highest damping ratio was obtained with granulated rubber inclusions.
