The Oncologist’s Guide to Synoptic Reporting: A Primer
Authors: Hewer Ekkehard
Published: June 2019

Synoptic reporting in tumour pathology is defined by (1) completeness in terms of data elements as well as (2) a specific, laboratory value-like format. Adoption of synoptic reporting leads to more complete reporting of essential parameters, improved standardisation of diagnostic criteria and terminology, as well as easier retrieval of information. It is therefore associated with a high degree of satisfaction among end users including surgeons and oncologists and contributes to improvement of clinical care. Furthermore, synoptic reporting is an important step towards higher levels of data capture, which facilitate data exchange and analysis for quality assurance, cancer epidemiology and clinical and basic research. Increased interest in and adoption of synoptic reporting on a global level is stimulated by the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) which publishes freely available, evidence-based datasets for reporting an increasing number of different cancer types. These developments pave the path for increased future application of synoptic reporting across the entire field of oncologic medicine, where it will likely deploy similar benefits to those in pathology. Given that synoptic reporting can be considered the most precise means available for reporting of medical findings, it may be predicted to be critical for the promise of precision medicine to become real.

Authors: Gilstrap Lauren G. , Dominici Francesca , Wang Yun , El-Sady M. Samir , Singh Amitoj , Di Carli Marcelo F. , Falk Rodney H. , Dorbala Sharmila
Published: June 2019

Background:

Cardiac amyloidosis is a substantially underdiagnosed disease, and contemporary estimates of the epidemiology of amyloidosis are lacking. This study aims to determine the incidence and prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis among Medicare beneficiaries from 2000 to 2012.

Methods and Results:

Medicare beneficiaries were counted in the prevalence cohort in each year they had (1) ≥1 principal or secondary
International Classification of Diseases
,
Ninth Revision
code for amyloidosis and (2) ≥1 principal or secondary
International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision
code for heart failure or cardiomyopathy within 2 years after the systemic amyloidosis code. A beneficiary was counted in the incidence cohort only during the first year in which they met criteria. Primary outcomes included the prevalence and incidence of hospitalizations for cardiac amyloidosis. There were 4746 incident cases of cardiac amyloidosis in 2012 and 15 737 prevalent cases in 2012. There was also a significant increase in the prevalence rate (8 to 17 per 100 000 person-years) and incidence rate (18 to 55 per 100 000 person-years) from 2000 to 2012, most notable after 2006. Incidence and prevalence increased substantially more among men, the elderly, and in blacks.

Conclusions:

The incidence and prevalence rates of cardiac amyloidosis are higher than previously thought. The incidence and prevalence rates of cardiac amyloidosis among hospitalized patients have increased since 2000, particularly among specific patient subgroups and after 2006, suggesting improved amyloidosis awareness and higher diagnostic rates with noninvasive imaging. In light of these trends, cardiac amyloidosis should be considered during the initial work up of patients ≥65 years old hospitalized with heart failure.
RNA Sequencing Reveals the Activation of Wnt Signaling in Low Flow Rate Brain Arteriovenous Malformations
Authors: Huo Ran , Fu Weilun , Li Hao , Jiao Yuming , Yan Zihan , Wang Linjian , Wang Jie , Wang Shuo , Cao Yong , Zhao Jizong
Published: June 2019

Background

The blood flow rate of brain arteriovenous malformations (
bAVM
s) is an important clinical characteristic closely associated with the hemorrhage risk and radiosurgery obliteration rate of
bAVM
s. However, the underlying molecular properties remain unclear. To identify potential key molecules, signaling pathways, and vascular cell types involved, we compared gene expression profiles between
bAVM
s with high flow rates and low flow rates (
LFR
) and validated the functions of selected key molecules in vitro.

Methods and Results

We performed
RNA
‐sequencing analysis on 51 samples, including 14 high flow rate
bAVM
s and 37
LFR bAVM
s. Functional pathway analysis was performed to identify potential signals influencing the flow rate phenotype of
bAVM
s. Candidate genes were investigated in
bAVM
specimens by immunohistochemical staining. Migration, tube formation, and proliferation assays were used to test the effects of candidate genes on the phenotypic properties of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human brain vascular smooth muscle cells. We identified 250 upregulated and 118 downregulated genes in
LFR bAVM
s compared with high flow rate
bAVM
s. Wnt signaling was activated in the
LFR
group via upregulation of
FZD
10 and
MYOC
. Immunohistochemical staining showed that vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells of
LFR bAVM
s exhibited increased
FZD
10 and
MYOC
expression. Experimentally elevating these genes promoted human umbilical vein endothelial cells and migration and tube formation by activating canonical Wnt signaling in vitro.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that canonical Wnt signaling mediated by
FZD
10 and
MYOC
is activated in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells in
LFR bAVM
s.
Croatian Society of Medical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine: National recommendations for blood collection, processing, performance and reporting of results for coagulation screening assays prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time
Authors: Bronić Ana , Coen Herak Desiree , Margetić Sandra , Milić Marija
Published: June 2019

A modern diagnostic laboratory offers wide spectrum of coagulation assays utilized in the diagnosis and management of patients with haemostatic disorders, preoperative screening and anticoagulation therapy monitoring. The recent survey conducted among Croatian medical biochemistry and transfusion laboratories showed the existence of different practice policies in particular phases of laboratory process during coagulation testing and highlighted areas that need improvement. Lack of assay standardization together with non-harmonized test results between different measurement methods, can potentially lead to incorrect decisions in patient’s treatment. Consequently, patient safety could be compromised. Therefore, recommended procedures related to preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical phases of prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen and D-dimer testing are provided in this review, aiming to help laboratories to generate accurate and reliable test results.
Jung’s Fantasies of Africa and Africa’s Healing of Analytical Psychology
Authors: Brooke Roger
Published: June 2019

Jung’s dreams about Africa reveal the Whiteness and colonialist assumptions typical of the twentieth century educated European. Jung’s visits to Africa and New Mexico, and his dreams are critically discussed, showing how, even decades later, Jung failed to use his own theory of dreaming with regard to his own dreams. The compensatory function of his dreams was never effected, and his transference fantasies of Africa and blackness were reinforced rather than analyzed. There were unfortunate consequences for the development of his thinking and his understanding of the individuation process, since his oppositional thinking in terms of White and Black remained as a concrete transference fantasy as well as a colonialist attitude towards his internal world. The Nguni term ubuntu, will be used to reimagine individuation in more explicitly ethical and socially embedded ways. With regard to the development of consciousness, a distinction is developed between the withdrawal of projections and as a helpful therapeutic issue and as an epistemological approach to the place of meaning. If Jung’s dreams of Africa had managed to “heal” him, Jungian psychology would look rather like it does today, because the way out of Jung’s Colonialism is to be found in Jung’s life and work, especially in his alchemical studies.
The Love-Hate Relationship between Jung and Modern Art
Authors: Dib Roula-Maria
Published: June 2019

This paper takes Jung’s essay ‘Ulysses’ as a case study in order to elucidate his opinion on the relationship between modern artists and mental insanity. The study seeks to contradict a common misconception that Jung ‘diagnoses’ modern artists such as Pablo Picasso and James Joyce with schizophrenia; instead, the paper sheds light on the cultural (not pathological) connections he makes between modern artists and art. The study examines Jung’s writings on modern art and aesthetics, aiming to dismantle some misinterpretations that might make his attitude toward them appear to be a diagnostic one. Above all, I suggest that through his reading of Ulysses, Jung shows how the feelings of confusion that arose in him can actually be reconstructive; this leads to what I would dub a ‘psychic synthesis’ through modern art. Finally, after clarifying Jung’s standpoint on modern art and insanity, this paper seeks to significantly contribute a revaluation of Jung on modernism.
Analysing Benefit Sharing Scheme as Compensation for Damages Caused by Resource Extraction in Indigenous Territory
Authors: Moreta Maria Augusta León
Published: June 2019

In Latin America extractive operations have given rise to the loss and environmental degradation of indigenous peoples’ territories. This, in turn, has implied the denial of the access of indigenous peoples to essential resources for their cultural, economic and social development. To compensate the loss of their livelihood, the Inter-American Court on Human Rights, states, multinational and financial institutions have recognised the right of indigenous peoples to benefit sharing. This article analyses the impact of this mechanism on indigenous peoples’ lives. While the definition and scope of benefit sharing is still being shaping at international level, its implementation depends on the political and economic interests at national level. The case of Shuar communities in Ecuador affected by the Mirador and San Carlos Panatza mining project illustrates how a top-down hierarchical approach to implementation leads to violent confrontation between state, corporations and indigenous peoples.
The “Fused Horizon” of Abolitionism and Islam
Authors: Mathews Nathaniel
Published: June 2019

This article considers slavery and abolition in Muslim societies globally as a historical and historicist problem. I argue that the changes in popular consensus among Muslims about the desirability and permissibility of owning slaves is primarily due to a Gadamerian “fused horizon” of abolitionism and Islam. I theorize one site of its emergence from interreligious African cooperation in New World slave rebellions. By studying slavery as a global process and parochializing the boundaries between the civilizational and regional histories of Islam, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, there emerges a radical critique of slavery and capitalism that combines elements of both abolitionism and Islam. The historical experience of enslaved people provides an experiential and evidential basis for this new hermeneutical horizon.
Effects of Macrophage Capping Protein (CAPG) on Glioma Cell Proliferation

Published: June 2019

Malignant glioma is one of the most common primary brain tumors and is among the deadliest of human cancers. In recent years, detection of related genes has provided a new perspective for early diagnosis and treatment of glioma. Previous studies have shown that macrophage capping protein
(gelsolin-like, CAPG) is highly expressed in tumor cells, but there have been very few studies on glioma cells. In our study, several candidate genes were identified by lentivirus-mediated RNAi technology, and the infected glioma U251 cells were detected by qRT-PCR using Cellomics Highly Intensive
Functional Screening (HCS) platform. The results showed that after knockdown of CAPG, the expression of CAPG gene in U251 glioma cells decreased, cell cycle was blocked, the number of U251 cells decreased, and the apoptotic rate increased. These results suggested that CAPG is significantly
associated with the development of glioma cells. Shortening of CAPG inhibited the proliferation of glioma cells. CAPG could be used as an important reference for predicting the occurrence and development of glioma, and it could also serve as a novel target of targeted therapy for glioma.
Downregulation of Calpain 1 Causes Neurotoxicity and Apoptosis in Primary Neurons Induced by Aβ25-35
Authors: Zhou Jingran , Li Min , Luo Zheng , Zou Ke , Chen Zhenzhen , Yang Baoping , Tang Zhenyu
Published: June 2019

Amyloid-peptides (Aβ), which can aggregate oligomers or fibrils into neurons, play a critical role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Calpain 1 (CAPN1) is one of the Ca2+ regulated proteases, involved in cell death, apoptosis, and motility. As an important signal transduction
pathway, it has been reported to be closely related to muscle atrophy, myoblast fusion, diabetes mellitus, and neurode-generative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Our previous study investigated the effect of CAPN1 RNAi on neurotoxicity and apoptosis in primary neurons induced by Aβ25-35.
The primary neurons were cultured and separated into different groups pretreated with Aβ25-35 (10 μM). Three groups were treated with CAPN1 shRNA, while one group was not. Along with CAPN1 shRNA, P25 (2 μg/mL) and rapamycin (20 ng/mL) were added to the culture.
The results showed that CAPN1 RNAi enhanced the formation of autophagosomes in cells, as observed by confocal microscopy. Parallelly, CAPN1 RNAi enhanced the cell viability, as observed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay, and decreased the apoptotic rate, as observed by flow cytometry. In
addition, CAPN1 RNAi decreased the mRNA level of CAPN1 and downregulated the expression levels of CDK5, GSK3β, and p-tau in primary neurons induced by Aβ25-35. All these results indicated the effect of CAPN1 RNAi against Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. Our results
suggested that CAPN1 RNAi exhibits a neuroprotective effect on the treatment of AD and provided a pharmacological basis for its clinical treatment.
RETRACTED ARTICLE: LncRNA TUBA4B functions as a competitive endogenous RNA to inhibit gastric cancer progression by elevating PTEN via sponging miR-214 and miR-216a/b
Authors: Guo Jianbo , Li Yan , Duan He , Yuan Lu
Published: June 2019

Background

Emerging evidence demonstrates that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is an important regulator in tumorigenesis and development. Tubulin Alpha 4B (TUBA4B), a novel lncRNA, was recently proposed as a tumor suppressor in several human cancers. However, its role in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression level, clinical implication, biological function and potential regulatory mechanism of TUBA4B in GC.

Methods

qRT-PCR was employed to detect the expression of TUBA4B in GC tissues, cell lines and plasma. In vitro and in vivo experiments were carried out using colony formation/CCK-8/transwell invasion/cell apoptosis assay and xenograft tumor model, respectively. mRNA sequencing was used to identify the TUBA4B-related downstream genes.

Results

TUBA4B was significantly decreased in GC tissues, cells and plasma. Low TUBA4B was positively correlated with larger tumor size, lymph node metastasis and advanced TNM stage. Moreover, TUBA4B was identified as an effective biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with GC. Functionally, ectopic expression of TUBA4B inhibited GC cell proliferation, invasion and induced apoptosis in vitro as well as dampened tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, TUBA4B was found to be a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that could physically bind to and sequester miR-214 and miR-216a/b to increase the expression of their common downstream target PTEN, resulting in inactivation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby retarding GC progression.

Conclusion

Our data highlight the compelling regulatory role of TUBA4B in GC, and reactivation of TUBA4B may be a promising therapeutic avenue for GC patients.
Suicidal behaviour among persons with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Authors: Fitzgerald Cecilie , Dalsgaard Søren , Nordentoft Merete , Erlangsen Annette
Published: June 2019

Background

Persons diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been found to have an increased risk of suicidal behaviour, but the pathway remains to be thoroughly explored.

Aims

To determine whether persons with ADHD are more likely to present with suicidal behaviour (i.e. suicide attempts and deaths by suicide) if they have a comorbid psychiatric disorder.

Method

Using nationwide registers covering the entire population of Denmark, this cohort study of 2.9 million individuals followed from 1 January 1995 until 31 December 2014, covers more than 46 million person-years. All persons aged ≥10 years with Danish-born parents were identified and persons with a diagnosis of ADHD were compared with persons without. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were calculated by Poisson regression, with adjustments for sociodemographics and parental suicidal behaviour.

Results

Persons with ADHD were followed for 164 113 person-years and 697 suicidal outcomes were observed. This group was found to have an IRR of suicidal behaviour of 4.7 (95% CI, 4.3–5.1) compared with those without ADHD. Persons with ADHD only had a 4.1-fold higher rate (95% CI, 3.5–4.7) when compared with those without any psychiatric diagnoses. For persons with ADHD and comorbid disorders the IRR was higher yet (IRR: 10.4; 95% CI, 9.5–11.4).

Conclusions

This study underlines the link between ADHD and an elevated rate of suicidal behaviour, which is significantly elevated by comorbid psychiatric disorders. In sum, these results suggest that persons with ADHD and comorbid psychiatric disorders are targets for suicide preventive interventions.

Published: June 2019

The epicardium, the outer mesothelial layer enclosing the myocardium, plays key roles in heart development and regeneration. During embryogenesis it arises from the proepicardium (PE), a cell cluster that appears in the dorsal pericardium (DP) close to the venous pole of the heart. Little is known about how the PE emerges from the pericardial mesothelium. Using the zebrafish model and a combination of genetic tools, pharmacological agents and quantitative in vivo imaging, we reveal that a coordinated collective movement of DP cells drives PE formation. We found that BMP signaling and the actomyosin cytoskeleton promote constriction of the DP, which enabled PE cells to extrude apically. We provide evidence that cell extrusion, which has been described in the elimination of unfit cells from epithelia and the emergence of hematopoietic stem cells, is also a mechanism for PE cells to exit an organized mesothelium and fulfil the developmental fate to form a new tissue layer, the epicardium.
Water- and Thermal-Stable Silver-Based Photoluminescent Metal-Organic Coordination Polymer for Highly Selective Lead Ion Sensing
Authors: Van Nguyen Chi , Chiang Wei-Hung , Wu Kevin C-W
Published: June 2019

Photoluminescent metal-organic coordination polymers (PLMOCPs) have recently become an attractive material for sensing applications, however, fundamental study of PLMOCP for selective metal ion sensing is still lacking. Here, we report a highly water-stable silver-based photoluminescent metal-organic coordination polymer (PLMOCP) of Ag(BPY)(IPA-NH2) with 404 nm emission as a single probe for selectively detecting Pb2+ in aqueous solutions. The as-synthesized Ag(BPY)(IPA-NH2) was characterized with a high yield, well-defined crystalline structure, extraordinary water and thermal stabilities, and unique optical properties. A high quenching constant of 2*10^4 M−1 and low limit of detection (LOD) of 2.1 µM are determined. Systematic absorbance and PL spectroscopic studies suggest that the PL quenching caused by Pb2+ is the simultaneous dynamic quenching mechanism.

Authors: Birowo Ponco , Deswanto Isaac Ardianson , Rasyid Nur
Published: June 2019

Background: Many epidemiological studies have demonstrated a high prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in different parts of the world. The objective of the present study was to establish the prevalence of ED in a healthy population from Indonesia and risk factors associated with ED.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study to estimate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in relatively healthy males in Jakarta that aged 20 to 80 years old. This cross-sectional study utilizes a web-based survey containing a translated version of The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) in Indonesian. Sexual domain functions in the IIEF-5 include 4 domains of erectile function starting from erection confidence, erection firmness, erection maintenance and sexual satisfaction.

Results: The mean age of respondents is 38.7±12.6 years old. Most of the respondents were married (77.2%), had completed or undertaking tertiary education (66.3%) and worked in privately established companies (35.7%). The prevalence of ED was 35.6% (22.3% mild, 13.7% mild to moderate, 3.1% moderate and 0.8% severe). The prevalence of ED ranges from 6.5% in the 20-29 year old group, to as high as 88.0% in respondents aged 60 years old and above. Age, hypertension, stroke, history of heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, history of prostate operations and interpersonal stress are significantly associated with ED (p-value = <0.001, <0.001, 0.015 0.000, 0.01, 0.002, <0.001 and 0.022 respectively).

Conclusion: The prevalence of ED in Indonesia is about 35.6%. The prevalence of ED in this study ranges from 6.5% to as high as 88.0%. Age, hypertension, stroke, history of heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, history of prostate operation and interpersonal stress are significantly associated with ED.
Strategic Consumers, Revenue Management, and the Design of Loyalty Programs
Authors: Chun So Yeon , Ovchinnikov Anton
Published: June 2019

We study the interaction between the design of a premium-status loyalty program, revenue management, and strategic consumer behavior. Specifically, we consider a contemporaneous change where firms across several industries switch their loyalty programs from quantity-based toward spending-based designs. This change has been met with fierce opposition from the media and consumers. Building on the microfoundations of strategic, forward-looking, and status-seeking consumer behavior, we endogenize strategic consumer response to firms’ pricing and loyalty program design decisions, and we characterize conditions under which, by coordinating these decisions, firms can benefit from strategic consumer behavior. We further show that by switching to a spending-based design, firms can benefit from strategic behavior even more, under broader conditions, and in a Pareto-improving way. Finally, we also analyze combined designs, which utilize a combination of quantity and/or spending requirements, and show how they can be used to better manage the transition toward spending-based designs, possibly minimizing negative consumer reactions.

Technology-Supported Teaching: Technological Progress or a Sham?
Authors: Eckhaus Eyal , Davidovitch Nitza
Published: June 2019

This study examined the extent of faculty’s use of various technology-supported features in their teaching practice, involving syllabi, exercises, presentations, required reading materials, supplementary reading materials, examples of exams from previous years, electronic notice board, links to film clips, and other tools that enhance the convenience of technology-supported teaching.  The findings of this study indicate that faculty make limited use of technological tools. Differences in use were found by age, tenure, gender, and faculty: Age of faculty has a positive effect on the use of the digital system for required reading and video-taped lessons, while faculty tenure has a negative effect on the use of the digital system for required reading materials. Male faculty use the video-taped lesson system more frequently than their female counterparts. Female faculty use the system more frequently than male faculty for required reading and elective reading materials. Faculty in the Humanities use the system to upload required reading more frequently than faculty in the other two faculties, while lecturers in the Faculty of Engineering use to system to upload examples of exams more frequently than their counterparts in the other two faculties. Faculty noted that they found no technological tool that reflects pedagogical thinking that benefits the students. Faculty use these digital tools as technical rather than pedagogical aids. Based on the recognition that these new technological tools will create a paradigmatic change in teaching, efforts should be invested to developed, disseminate, and assimilate new pedagogies that are compatible with these new educational technologies.
Mulheres, saberes e comunidade: outra epistemologia
Authors: Machado Rita Fraga
Published: June 2019

Nestes ritos iniciais, vou apresentar a reflexão a que se propõe este texto em três grandes eixos e, ao final, tentar uma síntese dos mesmos. O objetivo desse texto é traçar uma linha histórica epistemológica no intuito de mostrar que essa não permite a produção significativa para outras epistemologias no trabalho com mulheres da floresta. O primeiro tópico do texto tem a ver com o conceito Clássico de Epistemologia e de como, ao conhecê-lo, podemos refutá-lo com o intuito de reinventá-lo, de acordo com Paulo Freire. O segundo tópico discute acerca desses outros conceitos e dessa outra epistemologia, baseando-se na dialética, método que, ainda hoje, os filósofos da ciência insistem em dizer que não produz conhecimento. Já o terceiro momento trata-se de como essas outras epistemologias se articulam com a educação para autonomia das mulheres da Floresta como modo de vida comunitário. O objetivo é gerar novas sínteses epistemológicas como forma de produção de conhecimentos tendo as mulheres como protagonistas desse processo.
Cuidadores de idosos centenários na região da Beira Interior (Portugal)
Authors: Afonso Rosa Marina , Tomáz Tatiana , Brandão Daniela , Ribeiro Óscar
Published: June 2019

O número de centenários regista um aumento sem precedentes nos países desenvolvidos e os seus cuidadores informais são, habitualmente, familiares também com idade avançada. Este estudo pretende explorar a relação entre o bem-estar de cuidadores (qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde, sobrecarga e satisfação) e as características de centenários enquanto recetores de cuidados. Participaram no estudo 50 díades de cuidados: 12 homens e 38 mulheres cuidadores com uma média de idade de 68.75 anos (DP=8.64) e 50 centenários com idades entre os 100 e os 106 anos (M=101.08; DP=1.43). Foi utilizado o protocolo de recolha de dados do projeto PT100 – Estudo dos Centenários do Porto. A maioria dos cuidadores são filhos (64%) que dedicam, em média, 15 horas diárias à prestação de cuidados. As mulheres cuidadoras apresentam níveis mais elevados de sobrecarga e uma autoapreciação mais positiva da sua saúde do que os homens cuidadores. Os cuidadores que têm a seu cargo centenários mais dependentes são os que apresentam maior sobrecarga subjetiva. Estes resultados alertam para a necessidade de respostas ao nível da saúde e da comunidade adaptadas às especificidades destes cuidadores que, na sua maioria, se confrontam também com o seu próprio processo de envelhecimento.

ШЛЯХИ, ХАРАКТЕР ТА ТИПИ ЗАПОЗИЧЕНЬ З УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ МОВИ В МОВУ РОСІЙСЬКУ (на матеріалі словника живої російської мови В. Даля)
Authors: Тетяна Космеда , Намачинська Галина
Published: June 2019

W artykule wyznaczono na podstawie analizy słownika żywego języka rosyjskiego W. Dala typy zapożyczeń z języka ukraińskiego na rosyjski. Wyróżniono zapożyczenia pośrednie i bezpośrednie, kognaty, zapożyczenia leksykalno-semantyczne oraz semantyczne, zapożyczenia będące faktami rosyjskiego języka literackiego oraz te, które weszły w skład języka narodowego jako dialektyzmy. Ukrainizmy uzupełniły pasywną leksykę języka rosyjskiego w postaci archaizmów oraz historyzmów, jak również jego aktywną leksykę, z uwzględnieniem stylistycznej oraz stylowej różnorodności, reprezentując nominacje językowe właściwe i przenośne. Nie wszystkie fakty zapożyczeń z języka ukraińskiego odnotowane w słowniku W. Dala zostały formalnie potwierdzone we współczesnych słownikach języka rosyjskiego. Do ukrainizmów w języku rosyjskim należą przede wszystkim nominacje faktów ukraińskiej kultury i historii, leksemy, które „ujęzykowiają” kluczowe koncepty ukraińskiej mentalności, egzotyzmy oraz etnograﬁzmy.

A Lei Pelé, o fim do passe e a modernização conservadora do futebol-negócio no Brasil: uma análise das percepções dos jogadores
Authors: Freire Rodrigues Francisco Xavier
Published: June 2019

Este artigo analisa a concepção dos jogadores sobre os impactos da Lei Pelé no mercado futebolístico nacional. Investiga o processo de modernização conservadora do futebol-negócio no Brasil. A percepção predominante dos atletas é de que a Lei Pelé modernizou somente alguns elementos do  futebol brasileiro. O fim do passe representou a passagem de um modelo tradicional de relações de trabalho para um modelo moderno e flexível, pois decretou a liberdade de trabalho para os jogadores e flexibilizou os contratos e relações de trabalho. A maioria dos jogadores considera que as principais intenções da Lei Pelé eram modernizar as relações entre clubes e jogadores. Os setores mais beneficiados pelo fim do passe, segundo a avaliação dos entrevistados, foram os jogadores, os empresários, o futebol como um todo e os clubes de futebol. O fim do passe tem influenciado no rejuvenescimento da força de trabalho no futebol brasileiro.  Palavras-chave: Lei Pelé; Modernização Conservadora; Futebol-Negócio; Fim do Passe.

A TRAMA CIENTÍFICA E JURÍDICA NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO CERTIFICADO DE AGROFLORESTAS
Authors: Korting Matheus Sehn
Published: June 2019

Este artigo tem como propósito desenvolver a trama científica e jurídica formada em torno do Certificado de Agroflorestas. Será demonstrando as origens do termo Agroflorestas e a transformação do conceito por instituições científicas. Também será demonstrado o aparato jurídico que subsidia as políticas ambientais desde a Constituição Federal e seus princípios à legislações infraconstitucionais em direção aos licenciamentos florestais. Nos licenciamentos florestais, a ideia é a de analisar a formação do certificado pelos técnicos como instrumento de disciplina apto a incluir a multiplicidade das práticas de Agroflorestas.Palavras-chave: Certificado de Agroflorestas; Licenciamentos florestais; Políticas ambientais.
A QUESTÃO HÍDRICA NA METRÓPOLE FLUMINENSE: UM OLHAR SOB A DINÂMICA DA GESTÃO (DITA) PARTICIPATIVA
Authors: Maciel Costa Maria Angélica
Published: June 2019

A questão norteadora deste artigo é a relação entre, por um lado, os discursos e as formas institucionais que têm por pressuposto formal a igualdade jurídica no acesso à água e, por outro, as práticas concretas do conjunto de atores sociais envolvidos nos embates e debates relativos à gestão dos recursos hídricos. A água serve, neste trabalho, como ponto de entrada para se discutirem questões de inserção social, eficácia de políticas públicas e compromissos governamentais. Através de técnicas e métodos qualitativos de pesquisa, especialmente a etnografia institucional, analisaremos a dinâmica da gestão dita participativa de águas na metrópole fluminense, através do caso da atuação do Comitê de Bacia Hidrográfica da Baía de Guanabara (CBH Guanabara). Em que pese o caráter deliberativo e participativo deste Comitê, os resultados empiricamente observáveis denotam uma desigualdade real no acesso à água da metrópole, assim como aos próprios sistemas de decisão que regulam tal acesso.Palavras-chave: Gestão de Águas; Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos; Participação. Descentralização; Baía de Guanabara; Comitê de Bacia Hidrográfica da Baía de Guanabara (CBH Guanabara).
Pensando o campo cinematográfico brasileiro a partir das contribuições de Pierre Bourdieu
Authors: Normanha Ribeiro de Almeida Ricardo
Published: June 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo observar e compreender a estruturação do campo cinematográfico brasileiro a partir das contribuições teóricas de Pierre Bourdieu. Os conceitos de campo e habitus são elementos chaves para esta compreensão na medida em que revelam a teoria da prática desenvolvida pelo sociólogo francês, na qual observam-se as relações que se estabelecem entre os agentes do campo e as práticas sociais incorporadas. A teoria da prática busca estabelecer a mediação necessária entre as teorias sociológicas centradas nas estruturas sociais e as teorias que focalizam a ação humana. Desta forma, este artigo busca inicialmente discutir os conceitos chaves de campo e habitus para, em seguida, se debruçar sobre a análise do campo cinematográfico brasileiro por meio da compreensão de seus mecanismos de estruturação e conquista de autonomia, suas regras de funcionamento, suas disputas internas, bem com de sua relação com os demais campos do audiovisual e das artes. Palavras-chave: Teoria do campos; Campo cinematográfico; Habitus.
APRESENTAÇÃO DOSSIÊ: A DINÂMICA DAS RELAÇÕES RACIAIS: DADOS, ABORDAGENS E INTERSECÇÕES
Authors: Spolle Marcus Vinicius , Mello Luciana Garcia de
Published: June 2019

A proposta deste dossiê é também refletir as dimensões dos aspectos interseccionais das relações de raça, gênero, classe, faixa etária e como elas interferem nas questões do reconhecimento dos direitos, da igualdade, seja racial, social ou de gênero. Em termos epistemológicos algumas das reflexões trazidas pelos autores deste dossiê têm por base os teóricos pós-coloniais e pós estruturalistas, o que implica também no questionamento das análises teóricas essencialistas e eurocentrista, ou seja, mais transversal e a de forma decolonial.
A relação entre rural e urbano na ótica de Henri Lefèbvre: um estudo sobre o papel das tríades lefèbvrianas na configuração espacial contemporânea
Authors: Sodré Maiara Tavares , Martins Solismar Fraga
Published: June 2019

O objetivo deste artigo consiste em dissipar erros de interpretação que eventualmente cercam a proposta de Henri Lefèbvre no que concerne à relação rural-urbano. Para tanto, parte-se de uma abordagem ampla sobre a perspectiva de análise lefèbvriana para a temática supracitada, utilizando-se na sequência duas tríades analíticas presentes na obra do autor para exemplificar de forma mais clara o caráter da relação rural-urbano em sua obra. As tríades eleitas consistem em: espaço absoluto, espaço abstrato e espaço diferencial; e representações do espaço, espaços de representação e prática espacial. Entende-se que, para Lefèbvre, a partir de um determinado momento histórico, a lógica de organização socioprodutiva e cultural do campo deixa de seguir sua coerência interna para se submeter às imposições organizacionais emanadas da cidade. Nesse sentido, não se trata do fim do rural, mas sim da sua subordinação a um modo de vida que, mais do que urbano, torna-se, progressivamente, global.Palavras-chave: Henri Lefèbvre. Urbano. Rural. Tríades.

De quoi Lefebvre est-il le nom dans la jeune géographie critique française ?
Authors: Martin Jean-Yves
Published: June 2019

Avant même la disparition d’Henri Lefebvre en 1991, les géographes français ont, à l’évidence, négligé délibérément ou méconnu l’intérêt de sa pensée spatiale. La préservation de son legs de “spatiologue” fut ensuite en France le fait de philosophes, de sociologues, d’urbanistes et de militants qui en furent les passeurs ou les précurseurs. Pourtant, aujourd’hui, une nouvelle génération de géographes le (re)découvre, pour une part à travers une réappropriation, elle-même critique, des travaux des écoles de géographie radicale étrangères, notamment américaine et brésilienne. Mais, d’autre part, le rattrapage accéléré du retard lefebvrien français en cours ouvre au-delà de l’espace, de la ville et de l’urbain, des champs d’investigation inédits à une jeune géographie radicale française tournée vers les interpellations de son temps, dans une volonté affirmée de mobilisation citoyenne et d’émancipation populaire.
Power and Vertical Positions in an Organization Chart: A Pre-Registered Replication Report of Study 3a and a Modification of Study 1a, Giessner & Schubert (2007)
Authors: Giessner Steffen R. , Schubert Thomas W.
Published: June 2019

Study 1a of Giessner and Schubert (2007) found a causal effect of vertical spatial cues on power judgments. Recent work showed that this was a false positive (Klein et al., 2018). Here, we test whether another paradigm (i.e., original Study 3a) can be replicated, and develop an adjusted paradigm of original Study 1a to clarify what kind of vertical spatial cues influence power judgments. Our current preregistered Study 1 confirms original Study 3a of Giessner and Schubert (2007). It shows that information about the power of a leader is represented spatially by placing the leader’s box higher in an organigram. Our current Study 2 distinguishes vertical ranks from magnitude of vertical spatial difference without changes in rank. The original Study 1a and the failed replication manipulated only magnitude while leaving rank equal. We confirm the null finding here. However, we also find that vertical rank order does indeed affect power judgments, again in a preregistered study, and in line with prior work. In sum, building on earlier work and the failed replication, we clarify that vertical rank order, but not magnitude of elevation, are associated with power judgments.
