In this paper, we consider a cholera infection model with vaccination and multiple transmission pathways. Dynamical properties of the model are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is less than unity; the endemic equilibrium exists and is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is greater than unity. In addition, the model is successfully used to fit the real disease situation of cholera outbreak in Somalia. We consider an optimal control problem of cholera transmission with vaccination, quarantine, treatment and sanitation control strategies, and use Pontryagin's minimum principle to determine the optimal control level. The optimal control problem is solved numerically.
Model-Driven Adaptive Enterprise
Authors: Kulkarni Vinay , Reddy Sreedhar , Clark Tony
Published: June 2020

Modern enterprises are large complex systems operating in dynamic environments and are therefore required to respond quickly to a variety of change drivers. Moreover, they are systems of systems wherein understanding is only available in localized contexts and is partial and uncertain. Given that the overall system behaviour is hard to know a-priori and that conventional techniques for systemwide analysis either lack rigour or are defeated by the scale of the problem, the current practice often exclusively relies on human expertise for adaptation. This chapter outlines the concept of model-driven adaptive enterprise that leverages principles from modeling, artificial intelligence, control theory, and information systems design leading to a knowledge-guided simulation-aided data-driven model-based evidence-backed approach to impart adaptability to enterprises. At the heart of a model-driven adaptive enterprise lies a digital twin (i.e., a simulatable digital replica of the enterprise). The authors discuss how the digital twin can be used to analyze, control, adapt, transform, and design enterprises.
Conjoint Analysis and Design of Business and IT
Authors: Frank Ulrich , Bock Alexander C.
Published: June 2020

This chapter presents a method for multi-perspective enterprise modeling (MEMO). Enterprise modeling fundamentally aims to support the conjoint analysis of business and IT to foster their integration. MEMO expands on this general aim with a specific concern for the professional perspectives of different stakeholder groups. MEMO is based on a language architecture that comprises an extensible set of domain-specific modeling languages, each addressing one or more professional perspectives. It is supplemented by an adaptable generic framework to support high-level ‘ballpark' views of an enterprise and to serve as a common starting point for more elaborate analysis and design tasks. MEMO also supports the construction of corresponding process models to design customized modeling methods. The chapter motivates the use of MEMO and illustrates possible use cases. It also provides a description of the method's architecture, its DSMLs, and a tool environment that supports the development and analysis of enterprise models.
IT Systems for the Digital Enterprise
Authors: Barat Souvik , Rajbhoj Asha
Published: June 2020

Modern digital enterprises operate in a dynamic environment where the business objectives, underlying technologies, and expectations from the end-users change over the time. Therefore, developing agile and adaptive IT systems is a critical need for most of the large business-critical enterprises. However, it is observed that the traditional IT system development approaches are not capable of ensuring all desired characteristics. This chapter discusses a set of established concepts and techniques that collectively help to achieve the desired agility and adaptiveness. The chapter reflects on the core concept of model-driven engineering for agility, technology independence, and retargetability; focuses on component abstraction to introduce divide-and-concur and separation of concerns; and proposes the use of variability and the concept of productline for developing configurable and extensible IT system.
Enterprise Security
Authors: Shukla Manish , Tupsamudre Harshal , Lodha Sachin
Published: June 2020

As we increasingly depend on technology, cyber threats and vulnerabilities are creating trust issues for businesses and enterprises, and cybersecurity is being considered as the number one threat to the global economy over the next 5-10 years. In this chapter, the authors explain this phenomenon by first describing the changing cyber ecosystem due to extreme digitalization and then its ramifications that are plainly visible in the latest trends in cyber-attacks. In the process, they arrive at five key implications that any modern enterprise needs to be cognizant of and discuss eight emerging measures that may help address consequences of those implications substantially. It is hoped that these measures will play a critical role in making enterprise security more proactive, cognitive, automated, connected, invisible, and risk aware.
Generate and Test for Formulated Product Variants With Information Extraction and an In-Silico Model
Authors: Sunkle Sagar , Jain Deepak , Saxena Krati , Patil Ashwini , Chacko Rinu , Rai Beena
Published: June 2020

The chemical industry is expanding its focus from process-centered products to product-centered products. Of these, consumer chemical products and other similar formulated products are especially ubiquitous. State of the art in the formulated product design relies heavily on experts and their expertise, leading to extended time to market and increased costs. The authors show that it is possible to construct a graph database of various details of products from textual sources, both offline and online. Similar to the “generate and test” approach, they propose that it is possible to generate feasible design variants of a given type of formulated product using the database so constructed. If they restrict the set of products that are applied to the skin, they propose to test the generated design variants using an in-silico model. Even though this chapter is an account of the work in progress, the authors believe the gains they can obtain from a readily accessible database and its integration with an in-silico model are substantial.

Published: June 2020

As businesses embrace digital technologies and drive business growth, this transformation demands a reimagination of their products, processes, and work beyond just “digitalization.” The enterprise starts by capturing diverse sensor data and integrates just-in-time data to achieve “connected” stage. It further uses data along with contextual intelligence to drive integrated decisions in “collaborative” stage. It aspires to share decision making between machines and humans and evolves into “cognitive” stage. In this C3 journey—connected to collaborative, further to cognitive—enterprises need to take advantage of innovative technologies across machines, facilities, and operations in the ecosystem of products, processes, and partners. The authors highlight the nuances and opportunities across the C3 journey focusing on manufacturing value chains. Customers can orchestrate their C3 journey using innovative digital solutions outlined here for information sharing and interactive analytics that will deliver best business results with data-driven decisions.

Authors: Markov Alexander , Ponomarev Andrey , Zavatskij Mikhail , Stepanova Ksenya , Krylov Sergej , Naumov Mikhail
Published: June 2020

This work is devoted to studying the reaction of bone tissue to installed titanium implants, which are bioinert in comparison with other metals used in traumatological and orthopedic practice, but which have a negative effect on bone tissue in the implant-to-bone area. In order to increase the affinity of the implant surface with bone tissue, it was proposed to use synthetic bioactive calcium phosphate mineral coating by applying it on titanium implants, which ultimately will make it possible to maintain the quality of the bone tissue around the implant after osteosynthesis or prosthetics. During the comparative research an in vivo experiment was conducted in which quality change of peri-implant zone of bone tissue when using titanium implants with synthetic bioactive calcium phosphate mineral coating and titanium implants without bioactive coating was analyzed. To analyze the results of the study, we used the X-ray computed tomography method, for a detailed assessment of the X-ray density and bone mineral density of the peri-implant zone. According to the results of the experiment, it was concluded that the reaction of bone tissue to synthetic bioactive calcium phosphate mineral coating of titanium implants was reduced, what ensures the preservation of bone tissue quality in the postoperative period at a high level.
FARMACI A PICCOLE DOSI: LA SCIENZA MEDICA NEI PRIMI DIZIONARI INGLESI
Authors: Iamartino Giovanni
Published: June 2020

This essay examines the role of lexicography in the popularisation of medical terminology in seventeenth-century England. As a matter of fact, the compilation of the earliest monolingual English dictionaries proceeded side by side with the birth and early development of modern science. After sketching the lexicographical tradition of the so-called hard-word dictionaries and commenting on how these works were involved in the popularisation of science, and especially scientific terminology, in the seventeenth century, this essay focuses on all the medical entries in the very first monolingual English dictionary, Robert Cawdreyâ€™s A table alphabeticall of 1604.

Authors: Olowa Shango N. , Govender Indiran , Saidiya Christian
Published: June 2020

Background: Empowering women to have a full control over the size of their family is not only an issue of human rights but also a sustainable development goal.1 This study sought to determine the factors influencing the use of contraception amongst female patients aged 18–49 years attending Odi District Hospital, Tshwane district.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out from September 2018 to February 2019 at Odi District Hospital. A representative sample size of 400 female patients was recruited by systematic random sampling. Logistic regression model was used to determine the most influential predictors.Results: The mean age in the studied population was 30.65 (±7.57) years. Contraceptive prevalence was estimated to be 55.3%. Dual protection (condom) was used as additional method by up to 72.3% of respondents. Injectables remained the most used contraceptive method, while more permanent methods, such as Bilateral Tubal Ligation (BTL), were less utilised. The source of family planning information, past exposure to contraceptive methods and woman’s number of living children (parity) determined the use of contraception amongst Odi district females.Conclusion: This study revealed a discrepancy within the maternal health delivery system regarding the supply and demand chain prompting the need for more insights. The results suggest evidence-based reengineering programme that incorporates contraceptive uptake determinants into the maternal health delivery system.
L$^2$ well-posedness of boundary value problems for parabolic systems with measurable coefficients
Authors: Auscher Pascal , Egert Moritz , Nyström Kaj
Published: June 2020

We prove the first positive results concerning boundary value problems in the upper half-space for second order parabolic systems only assuming measurability and some transversal regularity in the coefficients of the elliptic part. To do so, we introduce and develop a first order strategy by means of a parabolic Dirac operator at the boundary to obtain, in particular, Green’s representation for solutions in natural classes involving square functions and non-tangential maximal functions, well-posedness results with data in L

^2

-Sobolev spaces together with invertibility of layer potentials, and perturbation results. On the way, we solve the Kato square root problem for parabolic operators with coefficients of the elliptic part depending measurably on all variables. The major new challenge, compared to the earlier results by one of us under time and transversal independence of the coefficients, is to handle non-local half-order derivatives in time which are unavoidable in our situation.
Unconditionally Stable Algorithm for Copolymer and Copolymer-Solvent Systems
Authors: Pezzutti Aldo D. , Hernández Hugo
Published: June 2020

In the time evolution simulation of a copolymer system towards its equilibrium configuration, it is common to use the Otha-Kawasaki approach for free energy and time evolution by means of a Cahn-Hilliard diffusion equation. The conventional numerical resolution is to use the cell dynamics simulation method (CDS). Although this method gives an adequate response, it is limited since it needs very small time steps to present both appropriate resolution and stability. Unconditionally stable methods have recently been used in gradient systems that provide adequate resolution and stability with a greater time step in solving Cahn-Hilliard equations. In this paper we develop and implement unconditionally stable algorithms for copolymer-solvent systems and for resolution of the time evolution of block copolymer systems under the Otha-Kawasaki functional.

PEREMPUAN DALAM GERAKAN TERORISME DI INDONESIA
Authors: Mulia Musdah
Published: June 2020

Modus baru dalam aksi terorisme menjadikan perempuan sebagai pelaku. Kalau sebelumnya aksi-aksi teror berwajah maskulin dan menggunakan pendekatan patriarkal, belakangan aksi-aksi teror memanfaatkan perempuan sebagai pelaku dan dengan pendekatan feminin. Meskipun faktanya perempuan adalah pelaku, hakikinya mereka tetap korban.Tulisan ini mencoba menguak berbagai hal terkait keterlibatan perempuan Muslim dalam gerakan terorisme di Indonesia. Di antaranya, menggali latar-belakang kehidupan mereka, apa motif utama mereka terlibat dalam aksi-aksi terorisme, mengapa gerakan yang penuh kekerasan dan mematikan ini justru menarik bagi kelompok perempuan yang umumnya secara bias gender masih dipersepsikan sebagai kelompok rentan dan makhluk domestik.Sesuai kodratnya, perempuan lebih mudah direkrut menjadi agen perdamaian (agent of disengagement). Kalau mereka bisa direkrut menjadi teroris seharusnya lebih mudah mengajak mereka menjadi agen perdamaian. Karena secara alami perempuan diciptakan dengan sebuah rahim untuk merawat keberlangsungan kehidupan manusia.
WANITA KARIR DALAM PANDANGAN ISLAM
Authors: Muhammad Ismiyati
Published: June 2020

Wanita Karir berarti wanita yang memiliki pekerjaan dan mandiri finansial baik kerja pada orang lain atau punya usaha sendiri. Ia identik dengan wanita pintar dan perempuan modern. Ketiga label ini bisa positif tapi juga negatif tergantung bagaimana dia bisa membawa diri secara agama dan sosial. Ada beberapa alasan kenapa wanita terjun dalam dunia karier, antara lain adalah faktor pendidikan yakni dengan pendidikan dapat melahirkan wanita karier, keadaan dan kebutuhan yang mendesak dalam keluarga, alasan ekonomis yakni sebagian kaum perempuan tidak ingin bergantung terus pada suami, untuk mengisi waktu lowong yakni perempuan merasa bosan atau jenuh jika berada dirumah terus, untuk mencari ketenangan dan hiburan apabila terjadi kemelut dalam keluarga yang tidak berkesudahan perempuan mencari kegiatan diluar rumah, mengembangkan bakat.  Islam datang mengangkat harkat wanita setara dengan kaum pria dalam hakekat kemanusiannya dan mendapatkan hak-hak yang wajar sebagaimana kaum pria. Seiring dengan berubahnya cara pandang masyarakat terhadap peran dan posisi kaum wanita di tengah masyarakat,Kesimpulan dari makalah ini adalah Islam adalah agama yang sangat fleksibel dan mengerti terhadap perempuan  namun tetap mempunyai aturan mainnya sendiri. Dimana wanita karir dalam Islam memang diperbolehkan asalkan mendapatkan ijin dari suami dan bekerja untuk membantu keluarga, ini akan jadi sebuah kegiatan yang menyenangkan apalagi jika didasari oleh ibadah.

Published: June 2020

Praktek perdagangan manusia merupakan bentuk kejahatan yang masih terjadi. Mayoritas korban trafiking adalah perempuan, meskipun juga ada korban laki-laki dan anak-anak. Tulisan ini hendak mengkaji fenomena trafiking dan bagaimana al-Qur’an merespon praktik trafiking. Dari kajian yang dilakukan, dapat diketahui bahwa trafiking memiliki bermacam bentuk dan modus. Kebanyakan trafiking terjadi dalam bentuk pemaksaan kerja, serta eksploitasi seksual. Modus yang muncul ada kalanya tawaran pekerjaan dengan gaji tinggi, pemaksaan, pernikahan pesanan, atau yang terkait dengan dunia pendidikan seperti tawaran magang. Banyak faktor yang mendorong terjadinya trafiking, antara lain ekonomi, pendidikan dan  sosial budaya, terutama pandangan yang masih bias gender sehingga memandang perempuan sebagai makhluk yang bisa diperlakukan semena-mena. Al-Qur’an memberikan perlawanan terhadap praktik trafiking ini. Karena tidak sesuai dengan elan vital yang dibawa al-Qur’an yang mengajarkan keadilan dan kasih sayang untuk kemaslahatan kehidupan.

Davranışsal kalkınma iktisadı, iktisadi olayları kalkınma iktisadının alışılagelmiş yaklaşımlarından çok daha farklı perspektiflerle gözden geçirmektedir. Davranışsal iktisadın teorik arka planından yola çıkan bu yeni yaklaşım, geleneksel kalkınma modellerine insan davranışlarını dâhil etmektedir. Davranışsal kalkınma iktisadı, geleneksel yaklaşımları tamamen reddetmemekle birlikte, kalkınmanın önündeki engelleri ve buna yönelik çözüm önerilerini psikolojik faktörlerle açıklamaktadır. İnsanların, karar verme süreçlerini etkileyen bilişsel yanlılıkları bulunmakta ve bu yanlılıklar az gelişmişliğin etkisine maruz kalanlarda daha güçlü etkiler barındırmaktadır. Başarılı kalkınma stratejileri gerçekleştirebilmek adına insan davranışlarındaki bilişsel yanlılıkların dikkate alınmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. İyi bir davranışsal tasarım ile bilişsel yanlılıkların iyileştirilmesi olası gözükmektedir. Ayrıca bu davranışsal tasarımların, geleneksel kalkınma iktisadına büyük katkılar sunması beklenmektedir.

Yükseköğretimde Fırsat Eşitliği, Nizamiye Medreseleri
Authors: BERBEROĞLU Bahar
Published: June 2020

Büyük Selçuklu Devleti’nin veziri Nizam’ül Mülk’ün
‘Nizamiye Medreseleri’ni açması yükseköğretimde önemli bir yeniliktir. Bu
medreselerin açılmasının başlıca amaçları, İslamiyet’i yayacak ve yaşatacak üst
düzey din ve devlet adamlarını, devlet hizmetinde yer alacak Sünnî ve Hanefî
inanca sahip ahlâklı memurları, yoksul ve yetenekli öğrencileri yetiştirmekti.
Bu medreseler yükseköğretim olanağını maddi durumu iyi olan, olmayan tüm
öğrencilere verdiğinden, yükseköğretimde fırsat eşitliği sağlamaktaydı. Bu
kurumlar sadece müderris, müid konumundakilere yüksek maaş vermiş, öğrencilerine
de yatılı-burslu olma olanağı sağlamıştır. Medreselerin şehirlerden kasabalara
kadar önemli yerleşim yerlerinde açılmasıyla, yükseköğretim tabana yayılmış,
fırsat eşitliği sağlanmıştır. Selçuklu Medreseleri, Avrupa’da başlayan
‘Aydınlanma Çağı’na katkı sağlayarak o dönem Avrupa’daki üniversitelere iyi bir
örnek oluşturmuştur. Selçukluların yükseköğretim tecrübeleri, kendisinden sonra
gelen Anadolu Beylikleri ve Osmanlı Devleti’ndeki yükseköğretimine önemli bir
temel teşkil etmiştir. Biz bu çalışmamızda, Nizamiye medreselerindeki fırsat
eşitliğini inceleyerek, bu kavramın önemine ve toplumsal getirilerine dikkat
çekmek ve günümüze yansımalarını değerlendirmek istiyoruz. Bu konu ile ilgili
kaynak taramamızda eğitimde fırsat eşitliği kavramını geçmişten günümüze
değerlendireceğiz. Selçuklularda olduğu gibi, günümüzde de devletlerin,
yükseköğretimi en önemli görevleri arasında kabul ederek, bireylerin tamamına
eşit olanaklarla bu hizmeti sunması gerekmektedir. Ulusal eğitim
politikalarında dezavantajlı gruplar için açık ve uzaktan öğretimin
kullanılması, yaşam boyu öğrenme olanaklarının halkın hizmetine sunulması ve
böylece beşerî sermayenin geliştirilmesine olanak sağlaması mümkündür.
Çalışmamızda, devletin yükseköğretim politikaları oluşturması ve eğitim ve öğretimde
fırsat eşitliği sağlaması konularının Batıdan öğrendiğimiz kavramlar değil,
Batının bizden öğrendiği kavramlar olduğunu ortaya koymaya çalışacağız.

Özyeterlik, bireyin belli bir görevi
yerine getirmek için gereken etkinlikleri düzenleyerek, o görevi başarılı bir
şekilde gerçekleştirebilme yeteneği ve kapasitesine ilişkin kendini algılayışı
ve kendine ilişkin inancıdır. Özyeterlik algısı güçlendikçe, harcanacak çaba
artar ve çabanın artması da belli etkinlikler sonunda elde edilecek yabancı dil
başarısına ulaşmada önemli bir faktördür. 
Çalışmada, önlisans öğrencilerinin İngilizce dersi bilişsel öğrenme
alanları kazanımları ile ilgili özyeterlik algılarının belirlenmesi
amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, 2018-2019 bahar yarıyılında, bir devlet üniversitesi
meslek yüksekokulunda öğrenim gören önlisans öğrencileri ile yürütülmüştür.
Çalışmaya toplam 160 öğrenci gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırma var olan bir
durumu betimlemeyi amaçlayan tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Araştırmada veri toplamak amacıyla, İngilizce dersi bilişsel öğrenme
alanlarının bilgi, kavrama ve uygulama düzeyi kazanımları dikkate alınarak
hazırlanan Likert tipi anket kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada verilerin analizi için
SPSS 20 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Veriler, yüzde, frekans, aritmetik
ortalama ve standart sapma puanları kullanılarak çözümlenmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, önlisans öğrencilerinin, bilgi
düzeyi kazanımlara yönelik özyeterlik algılarının “Bana uyuyor”, kavrama ve
uygulama düzeyi kazanımlara yönelik özyeterlik algılarının “Bana çok az uyuyor”
ve genel özyeterlik algılarının “Bana uyuyor” düzeyinde olduğu tespit
edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, öğrencilerin kavrama düzeyi özyeterlik
algılarının bilgi düzeyinden daha düşük, uygulama düzeyi özyeterlik algılarının
da kavrama düzeyinden daha düşük olduğu çalışmanın bulguları arasında yer
almaktadır.

O presente artigo propõe uma investigação teórica das interações entre teoria queer e as discussões sobre identidades ao analisar o romance brasileiro Todos nós adorávamos caubóis de Carol Bensimon, publicado em 2013. Partindo de uma discussão sobre a heteronormatividade (MISKOLCI, 2016), elabora-se um comentário sobre a teoria queer e sua política pós-identitária buscando destacar não só a metáfora da viagem dentro da narrativa selecionada, mas também a fragmentação e o deslocamento das identidades das protagonistas, Cora e Júlia, durante a sua road trip pelo interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Traçando pontes e limites entre a teoria queer e os estudos gays e lésbicos, discute-se como uma leitura do romance de Bensimon é sintomática das proposições da própria indefinibilidade teórica da teoria queer como forma de investigação do cenário literário contemporâneo. Privilegiam-se, entre outros, as contribuições teóricas de Carla Rodrigues (2009), Linda Hutcheon (2003), Steve Seidman (2004), Diane Richardson (2006) e Guacira Lopes Louro (2016) para a discussão proposta.
A morte como higienização social/sexual na obra de Nelson Rodrigues: uma leitura de gênero, sexualidade e masculinidades
Authors: Valente Paulo
Published: June 2020

Este artigo pretende revisitar o conto-crônica “Delicado”, do dramaturgo e jornalista Nelson Falcão Rodrigues (1994), presente na coletânea A vida como ela é..., fruto de seu trabalho para o jornal Zero Hora, a fim de discutir de que modo a narração evidencia uma sociedade heteronormativa compulsória a qual violenta a existência do protagonista alheio à norma, a ponto de este vir a provocar a própria morte, não suportando a pressão externa para cumprir o seu ‘papel de homem’. Ao longo da escrita, evidenciamos como Eusebiozinho, personagem principal, ao romper com o binarismo sexual e norma social, é obrigado a retornar a um suposto lugar original/apriorístico, o da masculinidade hegemônica, por via da heterossexualidade compulsória, imposta pela família e representada pela figura do tio. Recorremos, para tanto, aos estudos queer e aos textos de Adrienne Rich (2003), Judith Butler (2005), Monique Witting (1992), Teresa de Lauretis (1994), Robert Connell (1995) e Michael Foucault (2001), dentre outros.
Vestígios do experimentalismo poético greco-latino
Authors: Santos Júnior Cristóvão
Published: June 2020

Este trabalho investiga determinados vestígios do experimentalismo poético greco-latino, buscando demonstrar sua longevidade e potência artística. Nesse sentido, são abordadas tipologias de escrita constrangida, como o acróstico, o palíndromo, o centão, o lipograma, o anagrama e o tautograma. Interessante é perceber que tais modalidades compositivas já encontram registro documental em obras da Antiguidade e da Idade Média, muito embora se costume atribuir a difusão de tais elaborações expressivas ao movimento Concretista, situado no século XX. Explicita-se, portanto, o processo de marginalização dessas manifestações artísticas, as quais foram relativamente invisibilizadas. Desse modo, discute-se a permanência resistente do construto poético experimental a partir de um levantamento de ocorrências encontradas, focalizando os cenários antigo e mediévico de sua produção. Destaque-se, então, que este estudo é de natureza indiciária, visando a adentrar na percepção de rastros, pistas e vestigíos que possibitem um olhar crítico-panorâmico desse legado poético, o qual não apenas nos constitui, mas também provoca, ainda nos tempos atuais, significativo fascínio e curiosidade.
“Tudo o que fizemos foi tomar a BR-116...”: a estrada queer de "Todos nós adorávamos caubóis"
Authors: Lopes Filho Antônio Augusto do Canto
Published: June 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo debater acerca do sistema sexo-gênero e da centralidade dos modelos hegemônicos de relações afetuosas no campo da sexualidade a partir do romance de Carol Bensimon, Todos nós adorávamos caubóis, de 2013. A escritora apresenta em sua narrativa duas mulheres protagonistas em uma road novel peculiar, na qual as personagens vagam como forasteiras na própria terra onde nasceram, tentando compreender suas identidades tanto individuais quanto no relacionamento conflitante entre as duas. O estudo possui como norte teórico a pesquisa de Regina Dalcastagnè (2005) a respeito da personagem do romance brasileiro contemporâneo como sintoma da não democratização do fazer literário e a Teoria Queer que se estabelece como uma categoria epistemológica ao dialogar com os estudos literários e com os mecanismos de exclusão das relações de poder frente às diversas manifestações da sexualidade. Portanto, textos de Adrienne Rich (2010), Teresa de Lauretis (1994) e Judith Butler (2000; 2016) são suporte para o entendimento dos efeitos das diversas tecnologias sociais que controlam o comportamento de gênero e da heteronormatividade como regulação do desejo nos interiores da sociedade e do texto literário.
Figurações do amor lésbico em "Amora", de Natália Borges Polesso
Authors: Santos Manuela Rodrigues
Published: June 2020

O amor sempre esteve no imaginário e nas preocupações dos seres humanos ao longo dos desafios de viver junto. Contudo, assim com a sociedade muda, a visão de amor e as dinâmicas de relacionamento também se modificam e ganham nos contornos, principalmente na contemporaneidade. Esse processo também impacta o amor lésbico que além de enfrentar as inquietações do amor ainda sofrem com o silenciamento, fruto de uma política do esquecimento produzida por uma sociedade cujo referencial é sempre o homem, branco, heterossexual, cristão, moderno/colonial. Assim, este artigo se propõe a analisar as figurações do amor lésbico, a partir das transformações que o amor apresenta na vida contemporânea e sua relação com o regime da heterossexualidade que impacta a experiência lésbica nos contos: “Minha prima está na cidade”, “Como te extraño, Clara”, “Diáspora Lésbica” e “Dramaturga hermética” do livro Amora de Natália Borges Polesso (2015). Para tanto, empregou-se como aporte teórico as discussões de Antony Giddens (1993) e de Zygmunt Bauman (2004; 2011a; 2011b), bem como os estudos de Virgínia Maria Vasconcelos Leal (2019), Ochy Curiel (2007; 2013), Tânia Navarro-Swain (2004) e Byang-Chul Han (2011a; 2011b; 2011c).

Introduction

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory, connective tissue disease, leading to foot deformities, impairment of locomotive functions, and reducing patients’ quality of life. Obesity prevalence is rising in early RA and is associated with worse disease activity, function and health-related quality of life, with a significant negative impact on achieving a low Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28). The aim of the study was to evaluate foot deformities in overweight RA patients according to the severity of the disease.

Material and methods

The study was performed on 50 overweight women with RA. The control group consisted of 50 overweight women free of any disorders. Plantography examination was carried out by means of a CQ ST 2K podoscope. Rheumatoid arthritis disease activity was assessed by DAS28. Activity limitation was assessed using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and foot posture by the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6). Body composition analysis was performed using In Body 220.

Results

Hallux valgus was the most frequent deformation in RA patients with overweight. Longitudinal flat foot was much more frequent in RA patients than transverse flat foot. A relationship between fat tissue mass and presence of transverse flat foot in RA patients with overweight was found. In this group DAS28, VAS, and Clarke’s angle were correlated with increased value of HAQ.

Conclusions

Plantar contourography showed a trend of an increase of α angle values and the Sztriter-Godunow index (KY) in overweight RA patients with increasing severity of radiological changes and DAS28, requiring use of proper prevention and therapeutic strategies of destructive changes.
Immunological effects of anti-coagulant unfractionated heparin in pregnant Chinese women with cryptic recurrent miscarriages
Authors: Hong Yanli , Hong Ke , Chen Xiaojuan , Xue Jinting , Yin Yanyun
Published: June 2020

Introduction

Anti-coagulant unfractionated heparin of low molecular weight (ACUHlmw) therapy is popularly practised in the therapy of recurrent miscarriages (RMC) due to its anti-coagulant properties. However, several in vitro investigations have hypothesized about the possible immunological effects of ACUHlmw.

Material and methods

We examined pregnant women with cryptic RMC (cRMC) to determine whether ACUHlmw could regulate the immune reaction in vivo during their pregnancy. In this study, a total of 51 women were subjected to tinzaparin and 48 patients were considered as control women on the basis of an open single-centre randomized controlled trial. During different fertilization weeks (FW) 7, 19, 29, and 35 plasma samples were acquired for eleven chemokine and cytokine levels and then investigated by multiplex bead technology and selected to portray T-helper subset-related immunity.

Results

We did not find any difference in chemokine C-C motif ligand-2, -17, -22, chemokine C-X-C motif ligand-1, -8, -12, -13 or cytokine interleukin-6 when a mixed linear model test was carried out on ACUHlmw in both the study and control women. However, differences were observed in the mixed linear model test on ACUHlmw in both the study and control women during pregnancy of the Th1/Th17 related chemokine C-X-C motif ligand-10 (p = 0.01), -11 (p < 0.001) and chemokine C-C motif ligand-20 (p = 0.04) respectively.

Conclusions

A positive outcome of ACUHlmw therapy in vivo was observed, thus establishing its potential proinflammatory effect. During 2nd and 3rd trimesters, the observed harmonious enlargement in Th1/Th17 related chemokine and cytokine levels does not recommend a fruitful immunological impact of ACUHlmw therapy in vivo.

Introduction

The aim of this work is to investigate the inhibitory effect of aloperin (Alo) on hepatocyte apoptosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and the underlying mechanism.

Material and methods

Rats in the Alo groups were fed a high-fat + high-sugar diet for eight weeks and then treated with low-, moderate-, and high-dose Alo for another eight weeks via gavage. Oxidative stress indices were tested by a colourimetric method, and pathological changes were observed by haematoxylin–eosin staining. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining. TLR4, TRIF, and NF-B(p65) mRNA and protein expressions were detected by RT-qPCR, Western blot assay and immunohistochemistry. In the in vitro study, L02 cells were treated with FFA (free fatty acid) for 24 h to establish a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model. Inhibition of cell proliferation was measured by the MTT method, and cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry. Finally, the nuclear import volume of NF-B(p65) was evaluated by cellular immunofluorescence.

Results

Cell apoptosis significantly decreased in the Alo-treatment groups in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05). TLR4, TRIF, and NF-B(p65) expression in the Alo-treatment groups was significantly downregulated compared with model group (p < 0.05). The cell proliferation rate significantly increased, cell apoptosis significantly decreased (p < 0.05), and the TLR4/TRIF/NF-B pathway was significantly inhibited (p < 0.05) in the Alo-treatment groups. The nuclear import volume of NF-B(p65) in the Alo-treatment groups was significantly decreased compared with that in the model group in a dose-dependent manger (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Alo could improve NASH via the TLR4/TRIF/NF-B pathway.
