A AUTONOMIA FRENTE À HIDRA CAPITALISTA: APORTES DA EXPERIÊNCIA ZAPATISTA
Authors: Silveira Renata Ferreira , Câmara Marcelo Argenta
Published: November 2018

Resumo: O movimento zapatista mexicano, surgido à luz pública no início de 1994, construiu uma trajetória de progressiva territorialização de sua concepção de sociedade e, consequentemente, de sua estratégia de mobilização. Tal trajetória tem sua conclusão (provisória) na constituição dos Caracóis enquanto recortes territoriais autônomos, e das Juntas de Bom Governo enquanto instâncias políticas e sociais de condução da vida em sociedade. Este artigo toma como ponto de partida a reflexão sobre a experiência zapatista para nos questionarmos sobre as possibilidades de respostas à atual crise civilizatória capitalista.Palavras-chave: Zapatismo. Territorialidades. Autonomia.

Such a trajectory has its (provisional) conclusion in the constitution of the Caracoles as autonomous territorial divisions, and of the Juntas de Buen Gobierno as political and social instances of conducting life in society. This article takes as its starting point the reflection on the zapatista experience to question ourselves on the possibilities of answers to the current capitalist civilizational crisis.Keywords: Zapatismo.

ESCOLA COMO UMA BASE PARA O POVO TOMAR O PODER? Diálogo entre Samora Machel e Paulo freire
Authors: Assane Adelino Inácio , Juliasse Arlindo Cornélio Ntunduatha
Published: November 2018

Depois da Independência Nacional em 1975, uma das palavras de ordem de Samora Machel, primeiro Presidente da então República Popular de Moçambique, foi “fazer da escola uma base para o povo tomar o poder”. O presente artigo pretende ampliar a discussão dessa visão macheliana, dialogando com Paulo Freire (patrono da educação brasileira), pois, nas políticas públicas de educação moçambicana, notam-se vestígios de ideias freireanas que foram adotadas logo após a conquista da Independência Nacional. Encontramos em Machel e em Freire algumas aproximações e similitudes fundadas no comprometimento com o pensamento crítico da educação.Palavras-chave: Alfabetização; Escola; Colonização; Libertação.

Dairy farm management priorities and implications
Authors: Lai John , Widmar Nicole J. Olynk , Wolf Christopher A.
Published: November 2018

This analysis examines how dairy farmers prioritize critical management areas in their operations and derives implications for future growth. A questionnaire elicited preferences from seven dairy farm management areas: production/milking, calf/heifer, feed/crop, financial planning/analysis/management, risk, milk marketing, and employee/labor management. Significant heterogeneity was identified surrounding farmer prioritization across management areas. Dairy manager respondents allocated 52% of their management capacity and time, on average, to production/milking management. Investigating priorities via a latent class model, in one class, financial planning/analysis/management or employee/labor management become relatively more important, and potentially critical, to the growth of the operation. This analysis provides dairy operators and industry stakeholders insights to facilitate dairy farm success and growth. Larger farms already placing greater emphasis on employees and labor management indicated they were prioritizing financial management for their success whereas smaller farms with growth intentions largely lacked management focused on areas outside of production and milking management.
TGR5 Activation Promotes Stimulus-Secretion Coupling of Pancreatic β-Cells via a PKA-Dependent Pathway
Authors: Maczewsky Jonas , Kaiser Julia , Gresch Anne , Gerst Felicia , Düfer Martina , Krippeit-Drews Peter , Drews Gisela
Published: November 2018

The Takeda-G-protein-receptor-5 (TGR5) mediates physiological actions of bile acids. Since it was shown that TGR5 is expressed in pancreatic tissue, a direct TGR5 activation in β-cells is currently postulated and discussed. The current study reveals that oleanolic acid (OLA) affects murine β-cell function by TGR5 activation. Both a Gαs inhibitor and an inhibitor of adenylyl cyclase (AC) prevented stimulating effects of OLA. Accordingly, OLA augmented the intracellular cAMP concentration. OLA and two well-established TGR5 agonists, RG239 and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), acutely promoted stimulus-secretion coupling (SSC). OLA reduced KATP current and elevated current through Ca2+ channels. Accordingly, in mouse and human β-cells, TGR5 ligands increased the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration by stimulating Ca2+ influx. Higher OLA concentrations evoked a dual reaction, probably due to activation of a counterregulating pathway. Protein kinase A (PKA) was identified as a downstream target of TGR5 activation. In contrast, inhibition of phospholipase C and phosphoinositide 3-kinase did not prevent stimulating effects of OLA. Involvement of exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 2 (Epac2) or farnesoid X receptor (FXR2) was ruled out by experiments with knockout mice. The proposed pathway was not influenced by local glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion from α-cells, shown by experiments with MIN6 cells, and a GLP-1 receptor antagonist. In summary, these data clearly demonstrate that activation of TGR5 in β-cells stimulates insulin secretion via an AC/cAMP/PKA-dependent pathway, which is supposed to interfere with SSC by affecting KATP and Ca2+ currents and thus membrane potential.

The Registry as a Basis for Epidemiological Surveillance and Optimization of Care in Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
Authors: Birkun A. A. , Altukhov A. V.
Published: November 2018

Despite significant progress in medicine, out-of-hospital cardiac (OHCA) remains one of the leading causes of death around the world. Epidemiological data suggest wide distribution of OHCA, low incidence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation attempts and low efficiency of resuscitation in the Russian Federation. Both implementation of measures for reducing mortality from OHCA and monitoring of their efficiency should be based on up-to-date, reliable data on national and regional OHCA epidemiology and performance of emergency medical services. The aim of this review is to provide a rationale for establishment of the national OHCA registry as a main instrument of collection, arrangement, storage, processing and presentation of data on OHCA epidemiology and efficiency of care provided. The review includes the analysis of OHCA epidemiological studies carried out in Russia, describes general concept and international experience of developing OHCA registries, and discusses Utstein guidelines for uniform reporting of OHCA data.
Healing and Caring in Dolphin-Assisted Therapy: Criticisms of Effectiveness and Ethical Issues
Authors: Candelieri Irene
Published: November 2018

Since the 1970s, new therapeutic practices, involving the interaction between humans and dolphins - Tursiops truncatus in particular, have developed. Such practices are known as dolphin-assisted therapies (DAT), a specific case of a more heterogeneous set of experiences with dolphins called dolphin-assisted activities (DAA): these include programmes of dolphin watching and swimming in high seas, as well as shows in dolphinariums and marine parks. DAT has grown rapidly as a highly attractive form of therapy, due to the well-liked animals used in an aquatic, and often exotic, environment. This kind of co-therapy seems to testify the enchantement that dolphins - in myths and chronicles often reported in rescue at sea, perceived as especially charismatic - exert on people; the human attempt of bonding with them, possibly in response to the need of building a human-animal bodily intersubjectivity.

Published: November 2018

Introduction. It is well known that the period of maternity commencing from conception is accompanied by great emotions. Each stage is associated with specific behavior as well as the anxiety. The postpartum period is particularly exposed to stress and the ability to overcome it is very important, therefore the support of the loved ones is necessary. Aim. Assessment of the severity of the stress levels of women in childbirth. Material and methods. The research was conducted among 178 women during the postpartum period. The methods of diagnostic survey and own questionnaires were used, as well as PSS-10 standardized tool. Results. The study involved 178 women during the postpartum period. Interpretation of results for the level of stent PSS-10 showed low results - 23.6%, average - 32.6%, high - 43.8% due to a high stress level. Statistically significant factors are: marital status - married women experience lower stress levels, socioeconomic status - the higher socioeconomic status, the test group felt lower stress, birth time - there is a significant difference between women giving birth before 37 weeks and those giving birth in right term. Particular age group, place of residence, education, the number of births and the way of birth are not factors that differentiate levels of perceived stress of women in childbirth. Conclusions. Perinatal period is a time of dynamic changes characterized by high levels of stress. Age, place of residence, education, number of births and way of birth do not affect the level of stress, whereas marital status, socioeconomic situation and the date of birth determine stress levels for women.
Evaluation of knowledge of Polish medical students regarding toxic plants
Authors: Fałkowska Urszula , Radzka Agnieszka , Dobryniewska Wanda , Krawiec Karol , Tchórz Michał
Published: November 2018

Introduction. There are approximately 300 species of poisonous plants in Poland. About 50 of them contain toxic substances which pose threat to health when consumed. Accidental poisonings remain the most common cause, but there were also cases correlated to suicidal or criminal purposes. There are only few toxicological departments in Poland keeping the records of plant poisonings, what makes presented data inaccurate. Aim. The authors decided to evaluate knowledge of Polish medical students regarding toxic plants and symptoms of its intoxication. Material and methods. The number of 734 online responses from students enrolled in medical studies at 16 different Polish universities were collected and analyzed to draw a conclusion. Results. As many as 87.6% of all respondents were in favor of introducing obligatory classes covering the issue of toxic plants. They were also asked to identify plants presented in the pictures. When it comes to 53.1% of students, they were familiar with Datura stramonium L. Over half of the participants were able to recognize the mild symptoms of intoxication, when 25.9% linked the poisoning to narcotic sleep. Taxus baccata L. was identified by 86.6% of the respondents and the majority of them possessed knowledge about the related symptoms. Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. and Caltha palustris L. were recognized by respectively 94% and 64% of the students. As many as 84.1% of participants knew the effects of Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden intoxication. All correct answers related to this poisoning were chosen by 48.3% respondents. The results revealed that the symptoms of Caltha palustris L. are unknown to the majority. Atropa belladonna L. was successfully identified by 93.6%, Galanthus nivalis L. by 55.4% of the students, with a lower percentage of correct responses related to its intoxication. Conclusions. Such differentiated knowledge can be the result of both educational variances and personal experience. Polish medical universities should consider introducing extra classes that would cover the issue of toxic plant intoxications.

Falsification of the Theory of Legal Rules and Legal Standards of Ronald Dworkin Using the Methodological Foundations of the Theory of Law and Morality of Leon Petrażycki
Authors: Majczyk Krzysztof
Published: November 2018

Efficient thinking is the foundation of efficient operation. The correct definition of concepts, especially the basic ones for a given field, in order to reach the truth, is a condition for the development of science and its social utility. The Petrażycki’s research methodology of law is a thoroughly modern method, as it enables effective examination of the accuracy of contemporary legal theories created after Petrażycki’s input. A model contemporary theory susceptible to an examination through the research methodology of law by Petrażycki is the normative theory of legal rules and non-legal standards by Dworkin. For this purpose some falsifications will be subject, i.e. selected ad hoc among many others, two important theories of normative law theory Dworkin. The first one is the thesis classifying legal norms into two groups of norms, namely legal rules and non-legal standards. The second one is a thesis about the existence of who are capable of discovering and issuing lawful and, at the same time, fair (just) court decisions, which are also the only ones for resolving particular court disputes. Unfortunately, owing to the seemingly cognitive research methodology of Petrażycki, both Dworkin’s deformed division of legal norms as well as Dworkin’s Hercules judges - cannot stand the test of authenticity. Due to the Petrażycki’s methodology, the legal-normative theory of Dworkin does not lose an innovative outlook on the existence of social norms, which are being discovered by judges in the jurisprudence, indifferently to the doubts over their proper classification (be it non-legal standards or, perhaps, outright standards supplementing statutory and sub-statutory legal regulations). Moreover, Dworkin’s theory is placed between naive theories, regardless of whether they are considered realistically naive theories (towards the Hercules judges) or nihilistically naive theories (when it comes to the existence of the only judgments in the given court cases which are also the just ones.) A few random reflections on the well-known work of Dworkin with the help of Petrażycki’s methodology serve to provide a new perspective on the contemporary legal normativity.
The Knobe Effect From the Perspective of Normative Orders
Authors: Waleszczyński Andrzej , Obidziński Michał , Rejewska Julia
Published: November 2018

The characteristic asymmetry in the attribution of intentionality in causing side effects, known as the Knobe effect, is considered to be a stable model of human cognition. This article looks at whether the way of thinking and analysing one scenario may affect the other and whether the mutual relationship between the ways in which both scenarios are analysed may affect the stability of the Knobe effect. The theoretical analyses and empirical studies performed are based on a distinction between moral and non-moral normativity possibly affecting the judgments passed in both scenarios. Therefore, an essential role in judgments about the intentionality of causing a side effect could be played by normative competences responsible for distinguishing between normative orders.
Leon Petrażycki on Norms and Their Logical Study
Authors: Lisanyuk Elena , Barbashina Evelina
Published: November 2018

In this paper we discuss L. Petrażycki’s idea of norm as a normative relation and show its repercussions in two perspectives connected to each other, in the legal theory in the framework of which it was originally introduced and where its role was straightforward, and in logic where it played a shadowy role of a fresh idea which in his expectation would have been the core of the novel logical theories capable of modelling reasoning in law and morals. We pay attention to the scholarly environment in which Petrażycki has proposed those ideas and to the unlucky fate of his academic legacy which is now being rediscovered.
Creative Reasoning and Content-Genetic Logic
Authors: Schumann Andrew
Published: November 2018

In decision making quite often we face permanently changeable and potentially infinite databases when we cannot apply conventional algorithms for choosing a solution. A decision process on infinite databases (e.g. on a database containing a contradiction) is called troubleshooting. A decision on these databases is called creative reasoning. One of the first heuristic semi-logical means for creative decision making were proposed in the theory of inventive problem solving (TIPS) by Genrich Altshuller. In this paper, I show that his approach corresponds to the so-called content-generic logic established by Soviet philosophers as an alternative to mathematical logic. The main assumption of content-genetic is that we cannot reduce our thinking to a mathematical combination of signs or to a language as such and our thought is ever cyclic and reflexive so that it contains ever a history.
Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry Uncovers the Impact of the Patterning of Oppositely Charged Residues on the Conformational Distributions of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
Authors: Beveridge Rebecca , Migas Lukasz , Das Rahul , Pappu Rohit , Kriwacki Richard , Barran Perdita E.
Published: November 2018

The global dimensions and amplitudes of conformational fluctuations of intrinsically disordered proteins are governed, in part, by the linear segregation versus clustering of oppositely charged residues within the primary sequence. Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry (IM-MS) affords unique advantages for probing the conformational consequences of the linear patterning of oppositely charged residues because it measures and separates proteins electrosprayed from solution on the basis of charge and shape. Here, we use IM-MS to measure the conformational consequences of charge patterning on the C-terminal intrinsically disordered region (p27 IDR) of the cell cycle inhibitory protein p27Kip1. We report the range of charge states and accompanying collisional cross section distributions for wild-type p27 IDR and two variants with identical amino acid compositions, k14 and k56, distinguished by the extent of linear mixing versus segregation of oppositely charged residues. Wild-type p27 IDR (k31) and k14 where the oppositely charged residues are more evenly distributed, exhibit a broad distribution of charge states. This is concordant with high degrees of conformational heterogeneity in solution. By contrast, k56 with linear segregation of oppositely charged residues, leads to limited conformational heterogeneity and a narrow distribution of charged states. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the interplay between chain solvation and intra-chain interactions (self-solvation) leads to conformational distributions that are modulated by salt concentration, with the wild-type sequence showing the most sensitivity to changes in salt concentration. These results suggest that the charge patterning within the wild-type p27 IDR may be optimized to sample both highly solvated and self-solvated conformational states.
Catalytic, Enantioselective α-Alkylation of Azlactones with Non-Conjugated Alkenes via Directed Nucleopalladation
Authors: Nimmagadda Sri , Liu Mingyu , Karunananda Malkanthi , Gao De-Wei , Apolinar Omar , Chen Jason , Liu Peng , Engle Keary
Published: November 2018

A palladium(II)-catalyzed enantioselective α-alkylation of azlactones with non-conjugated alkenes is described. The reaction employs a chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acid as the source of stereoinduction and a cleavable bidentate directing group appended to the alkene to control regioselectivity and stabilize the nucleopalladated alkylpalladium(II) intermediate in the catalytic cycle. A wide range of azlactones were found to be compatible under the optimal conditions to afford products bearing α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid derivatives with high yields and high enantioselectivity.

Published: November 2018

In October 2016, an outbreak of norovirus occurred among attendees of a Halloween-themed party at a public swimming pool in the south-east of England. Norovirus genogroup II was confirmed in 11 cases. In the retrospective cohort study of pool users, 68 individuals (37 female and 31 male), with a median age of 11 years (range: 0–50 years), met the case definition of developing diarrhoea or vomiting between 6 and 72 h after the pool visit. Multivariable analysis showed that increasing age was associated with a reduced risk of illness (odds ratio = 0.91; 95% confidence interval: 0.83–0.99). Pool behaviours (swallowing water) and the timing of visit (attending pool party after automatic dosing system was switched off) were independently associated with increased risk. Environmental investigations revealed that the automatic dosing system was switched off to reduce chlorine levels to an intended range of 0.5–1 parts per million to facilitate the use of a commercial red dye. There was a lack of compliance with the operator's own pool operating procedures, particularly on maintaining effective chlorine levels in pool water, recording of test results and recording of actions undertaken. This outbreak highlights the risks of lowering chlorine levels when using pool water colourants.

Published: November 2018

Molecular technology to identify relatedness between Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates, representative of possible tuberculosis (TB) transmission between individuals, continues to evolve. At the same time, tools to utilise this information for public health action to improve TB control should also be implemented. Public Health England developed the Strain Typing Module (STM) as an integral part of the web-based surveillance system used in the United Kingdom following the roll-out of prospective 24 loci mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) strain typing. The creation of such a system required data integration and linkage, bringing together laboratory results and patient notification information. The STM facilitated widespread access to patient strain typing and clustering results for the public health community working in TB control. In addition, the system provided a log of cluster review and investigation decision making and results. Automated real-time data linkage between laboratory and notification data are essential to allow routine use of genotyping results in TB surveillance and control. Outputs must be accessible by those working in TB control at a local level to have any impact in ongoing public health activity.

National public health institutes are reminded to remain vigilant and inform clinicians of the ongoing epidemic.
A REMATERIALIZAÇÃO HÁPTICA COMO RESPOSTA À DESMATERIALIZAÇÃO: UMA INTERPRETAÇÃO PELO ATUAL CONTEXTO TECNOLÓGICO
Authors: Ferreira Guilherme Philippe Garcia , Heemann Adriano
Published: November 2018

A computação aliada às redes de comunicação trouxe o referencial global para os ambientes domésticos. Neste meio, o acesso a conteúdos digitais parece se adequar aos conceitos da desmaterialização, um dos focos da sustentabilidade. Entretanto, há impacto perceptível nas relações que as pessoas tecem com o ambiente, com os recursos e também com outras pessoas. Percebe-se, dentre outros aspectos, um afastamento importante das relações táteis com os objetos. Ao mesmo tempo, observa-se em pesquisas a intenção de desenvolver informações háptica para dispositivos móveis. Com a intenção de compreender a relação entre os objetos digitais e a desmaterialização e o possível afastamento das relações táteis, exploramos o seguinte questionamento: seria a háptica uma resposta à emergente necessidade de desmaterialização? Embora não seja apresentada uma resposta definitiva, sugere-se que, se não uma relação direta, a háptica poderá auxiliar em alguns aspectos perceptivos da desmaterialização.

O diálogo entre catolicismo e ambientalismo a partir da Laudato si’
Authors: Ribeiro Neto Francisco Borba
Published: November 2018

Síntese: Este artigo enfoca o diálogo entre o pensamento católico e os movimentos ambientalistas, que perpassa a encíclica Laudato si’, procurando caracterizar sua contribuição para este diálogo. Salienta a importância da sabedoria e da espiritualidade ecológica, da solidariedade, da opção pelos pobres e da subsidiariedade no diálogo entre catolicismo e ambientalismo. Conclui, mostrando que o testemunho pessoal e a adesão às causas ecológicas, naquilo que o discernimento cristão aponta como justo, tal como feito pelo Papa Francisco, são pressupostos para a continuidade deste diálogo. Contudo, para que ele dê fruto plenamente, é necessário que a inteligência da fé se torne uma inteligência da realidade capaz de iluminar os desafios vividos pela sociedade atual.Palavras-chave: Laudato si’. Papa Francisco. Ecologia. Antropologia filosófica. Opção pelos pobres.Abstract: This article focuses on the dialogue between Catholic thought and environmental movements, which permeates the encyclical Laudato si’, seeking to characterize their contribution to this dialogue. Stresses the importance of wisdom and ecological spirituality, solidarity, option for the poor and subsidiarity in the dialogue between Catholicism and environmentalism. Concludes showing that the personal testimony and adherence to ecological causes that Christian discernment points as fair, as made by Pope Francis, are preconditions for the continuation of this dialogue. However, for it to bear fruitfully, it is necessary that the knowledge of faith becomes knowledge of reality, capable of illuminating the challenges faced by society today.Keywords: Laudato si’.

Comunidade apostólica primitiva: fundamento e modelo para a Igreja. Raízes bíblicas e teológicas da “Igreja de Comunhão”
Authors: Rozin Claudemir
Published: November 2018

Síntese: A primeira comunidade cristã, mais especificamente a comunidade de Jerusalém, é o rosto da Igreja nascente. Ela traz em si as principais características da experiência daqueles que assumem o seguimento de Jesus, impulsionados pela força do Espírito do Ressuscitado e convocados por sua Palavra para continuar sua missão. Formam comunidade, reúnem-se por um motivo único, fazem memória dos fatos e da vida de Jesus, praticam o amor fraterno, partilham os bens com os mais necessitados: nasce a Igreja. Esta experiência originária traz os valores básicos que formam a comunidade cristã, narrada nos Atos dos Apóstolos. Tais valores são os pilares que estruturam a vida eclesial, fundamento e modelo para toda a Igreja. A experiência inicial de profunda comunhão (Koinonia) será a base segura para a Igreja sempre se renovar, retomando constantemente sua identidade e sua missão diante dos novos desafios que vão surgindo em sua história.Palavras-chave: Igreja. Comunidade primitiva. Comunhão/Koinonia. Partilha. Modelo. Perseverança.Abstract: The first Christian community, or more specifically, the community of Jerusalem, is the face of the early Church. It possessed the principal characteristics of the people who accepted to follow Jesus, driven by the power of the Spirit of the One who was risen and brought together by his Word in order to continue his mission. They form a community, they come together for a single purpose, they recall the deeds and the life of Jesus, they exercise a fraternal love, and they share their goods with those who are most in need: the Church is born. This original experience possesses the values that form the Christian community, in line with the account given in the Acts of the Apostles, providing the pillars around which the life of the Church would be built, a foundation and the model for the whole Church. This initial experience of deep communion (Koinonia) would offer a sure foundation to a Church that would always seek renewal, by returning to its identity and mission in the face of the new challenges that emerge in the course of time.Keywords: Church. Early community. Communion/Koinonia. Sharing.Model. Perseverance.
O instante da morte. A hipótese da decisão final (II)
Authors: Oliveira Renato Alves de
Published: November 2018

Síntese: A hipótese da decisão final reflete sobre o que, possivelmente, transcorreria, no plano metafísico, no instante em que se detecta fisicamente a ocorrência da morte. As origens da hipótese remetem ao período medieval, no século XVI, com a teoria da iluminação final, para a qual, no último instante do status viae ou no primeiro do staus termini, Deus concederia uma graça especial ao ser humano com o objetivo de que tomasse uma decisão final, determinando seu destino eterno (salvação ou perdição). A evolução desta teoria culminou, nos séculos XIX-XX, na hipótese da decisão final que põe o acento reflexivo no instante da própria morte. Para a hipótese, a morte seria um instante de decisividade, consciência, responsabilidade, atemporal e de profunda densidade psicológica e espiritual. No instante pontual da morte, quando a alma se separa do corpo, o ser humano seria capaz de tomar uma decisão final e absoluta. Esta hipótese suscitou muitas reações críticas nos planos metodológico, antropológico e teológico.Palavras-chave: Vida. Morte. Ser humano. Hipótese. Decisão. Destino eterno.Abstract: The hypothesis of the final decision reflects on what would possibly occur, on the metaphysical plan, when we physically detect the occurrence of death. The origins of the hypothesis may be traced to the medieval period, to the 16th century’s theory of the final enlightenment. According to this theory, at the last moment of the status viae or at the first of the status termini, God would grant a special grace to Man so that he could make a final decision and thus determine his eternal fate (salvation or perdition). In the 19th and 20th centuries, the evolution of this theory culminated in the hypothesis of the final decision that puts the reflective emphasis on the very moment of death.  In this hypothesis, death would be a moment of decisiveness, awareness, responsibility, timelessness and of deep psychological and spiritual density. At the exact moment of death, when the soul leaves the body, the human being would be able to make a final and absolute decision. This hypothesis has raised many critical reactions in the methodological, anthropological and theological plans.Keywords: Life. Death. Human being. Hypothesis. Decision. Eternal destiny.
A importância da pastoral familiar. Ecos do Sínodo dos Bispos de 2015
Authors: Moser Antônio
Published: November 2018

Síntese: Mais do que o Sínodo de 2014, também sobre a família, o Sínodo de 2015 provocou expectativas. Mas estas se desfizeram rapidamente. Mesmo no âmbito eclesial o impacto parece ter sido menor do que o devido. Daí a razão destes “Ecos”. Ainda que tenham surgido divergências e algumas tensões no início, aos poucos elas foram diminuindo, oferecendo como maior ganho não um texto, mas um novo contexto de Igreja. Com habilidade, longe de casuísmos legalistas, foram apresentados desafios de uma pastoral familiar. Escutar, discernir, evangelizar foram três palavras-chave para reforçar a face acolhedora da Igreja, justamente para os que se sentem mais angustiados e marginalizados até pelos próprios ministros. Nem tudo foi dito, mas uma coisa ficou evidenciada: com este Sínodo, a Pastoral Familiar pode receber um novo impulso, desde que o documento seja lido com inteligência e abertura.Palavras-chave: Pastoral Familiar. Sínodo dos Bispos 2015. Descentralização. Discernimento. Acolhida.Abstract: More than the 2014 Synod, that was also about the family, the 2015 Synod created many expectations. But these quickly faded away. Even in the ecclesial area the impact seems to have been smaller than it should have been. Hence the reason for these “Echoes”. Although differences and some tension have arisen at first, they gradually dwindled and offered as its greatest gain not a text, but a new church context. With skill, far from legalistic casuistry, challenges of a familiar ministry were presented. Listen, discern, evangelize were three key words to strengthen the friendly face of the Church, precisely for those who feel more distressed and marginalized even by the ministers themselves. Not everything has been said, but one thing became evident: with this Synod, the Family Ministry can receive a new impetus, as long as the document is read with intelligence and openness.Keywords: Family Ministry.
