19. Yüzyil Galata’sindan Bir Banker: Darphane-İ Âmire Ve Sefaretler Bankeri Jacques Alléon
Authors: Manav Nursel
Published: April 2018

Galata
bankerlerinin, Osmanlı Devleti’ndeki faaliyetlerini incelemek ve bu sayede
ekonomideki yerlerini belirlemek, mali tarihe ilişkin tespitlerin doğru
yapılması açısından önemlidir. Önce sarraflık yapan ve ardından Galata
bankerlerine dönüşen bu finans kesiminin işlemleri, mali ilişkileri, iltizam
düzenindeki yerleri, iç borçlanmadaki ağırlıklarının tespiti ve Batı ile
ticaretteki aracılık rollerinin ele alınması gerekmektedir. Galata
bankerlerinin ekonomideki etkinliklerinin tam olarak belirlenmesi için her
birinin hem maliyeyle hem de piyasa ile ticari ilişkilerinin açıklığa
kavuşturulması zorunludur. Fransız uyruklu Jacques Alléon, 19. Yüzyıl Galata bankerleri arasında
önde gelen bir isimdir. Buna rağmen, bir banker olarak onun ticari ve mali
işleri hakkında müstakil çalışma yapılmamıştır. Ayrıca, hayatı hakkında var
olan sınırlı bilginin de bir kısmı yanlıştır. Bu çalışma, Galata bankerlerinin
öncülerinden Alléon’un, Osmanlı maliyesiyle 1820’lerde başlayan ilişkisindeki
önemli aşamaları incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yanısıra hayatıyla ilgili hatalı
bilgilerin düzeltilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Kambiyo kurunun dengelenmesi amacıyla
yurt dışındaki piyasalara poliçe çekmek ve Dersaadet Bankası’nın kurulmasında
oynadığı rol dışında diğer mali işlemleri de gölgede kalmıştır. Galata’da kendi
kumpanyasını kurduktan kısa süre sonra Darphane-i Âmire ve sefaretlerin
sarraflığını üstlenmiş ve uzun süre devam etmiştir. Ayrıca, Darphane-i Âmire ve
sefaretlerin sarrafı olması nedeniyle bu iki kurum adına yaptığı işlemler, onun
kambiyo kurunun kontrolünde diğer bankerler arasından öne çıkmasına ve hatta
öncelikle tercih edilmesine etki etmiştir.
A New Friction-Reducing Agent for Slickwater-Fracturing Treatments
Authors: Ibrahim Ahmed F. , Nasr-El-Din Hisham A. , Rabie Ahmed , Lin Genyao , Zhou Jian , Qu Qi
Published: April 2018

Friction reducers (FRs) represent an essential component in any slickwater-fracturing fluid. Although the majority of previous research on these fluids has focused on evaluating the friction-reduction performance of chemical components, only a few studies have addressed the potential damage these chemicals can cause to the formation. Because of the polymeric nature of these chemicals—typically polyacrylamide (PAM)—an FR can either filter out onto the surface of the formation or penetrate deeply to plug the pores. In addition, breaking these polymers at temperatures lower than 200°F remains a problem. The present study introduces a new FR that replaces the linear gel with an enhanced proppant-carrying capacity and reduced potential for formation damage.

Friction-reduction performance, proppant settling, breakability, and coreflood experiments using tight sandstone cores at 150°F were conducted to investigate a new FR (FR1). The performance of the new FR was compared with two different FRs: a salt-tolerant polymer that is a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylamido-methylpropane sulfonate (FR2), and a guar-based polymer (FR3). Different breakers were used to examine the breakability of the three FRs, including ammonium persulfate (APS), sodium persulfate (SPS), hydrogen peroxide (HP), and sodium bromate (SB).

The friction reduction of the new chemical was higher than 70% in fresh water or 2 wt% potassium chloride (KCl) in the presence of calcium chloride (CaCl2) or choline chloride. The presence of 1 lbm/1,000 gal of different types of breakers did not affect the friction-reduction performance. The friction reduction of 1 gal/1,000 gal of the new FR1 was also higher than that of the guar-based FR3 at a load of 4 gal/1,000 gal at the same conditions. The results show that the new FR is breakable with any of the tested breakers. Among the four tested breakers, APS is the most-efficient breaker. Static and dynamic proppant-settling tests further indicated a superior performance of FR1 for proppant suspension compared with a PAM FR (FR2). Coreflood experiments showed that FR1 did not cause any residual damage to the core permeability when APS was used as a breaker, compared with 10% and 9% damage when FR2 and FR3 were tested, respectively. Coreflood tests also showed that FR1 is breakable using SB with only 2.5% damage, whereas FR2 and FR3 resulted in 47% and 41% damage, respectively. The results also show that higher salinity does not affect the breakability of the new FR.

The proposed FR shows higher friction-reduction performance and better proppant-carrying capacity with no formation damage, compared with the conventional counterparts. Hence, FR1 is a viable choice for application in fracturing formations with proppants.

This paper is an attempt to complement the existing body of knowledge about the Montenegrin community in Serbia through the analysis of the life story of one Montenegrin living in a rural environment in Vojvodina. His life story contains all the hallmarks of identity which have been noted in earlier studies of Montenegrin identity, and sheds new light on certain aspects of it.
The Demographic Characteristics of the Vardar Province and Issues of Self-Identification
Authors: Jovanović Vladan
Published: April 2018

The paper analyzes the demographic structure of the south of the kingdom of Yugoslavia which was characterized by political instability, feudal heritage in economy and culture of living as well as a condition of permanent ethnic and religious antagonisms which arose from subjective mistakes made by the Yugoslav state as well as objective problems it had inherited (Albanian irredentism, activities of the IMRO backed by Bulgaria, Albania and Italy, passive resistance  and fear within the population etc.). Aside from being an attempt at a demographic reconstruction of the area, the paper deals with issues of national, religious and political self-determination of the population inhabiting the Vardar region. The paper is based on unpublished archive material, statistical overviews and relevant literature.
Young Adult Dystopias: Bildungsroman for the 21st Century
Authors: Gavrilović Ljiljana
Published: April 2018

The paper examines young adult dystopian novels written in the first decade of the 21st century, as heirs to the tradition of the bildungsroman, and the great dystopias. The focus of this new genre has shifted from maintaining “the best of all worlds” – where the young person adjusts and fits into the existing world, to the shaping of the hero’s critical spirit which is supposed to result in the hero/heroine growing up, but also in changes in the world which they inhabit. Two other important characteristics of these novels are the critical relationship toward ancestors and tradition on the one hand, and on the other the positive assessment of non-rational decisions which are made impulsively and are based on emotions, which points to the abandonment of different aspects of the heritage of modernity (the traditions of rationalism and romanticism). Thus they set the stage for a new, different view of the world and the role which the individual is to fulfill by growing from a child into an adult in such a world.
Ufology: The Origins of a “Science” in Popular Culture
Authors: Kulenović Nina
Published: April 2018

The paper indentifies pop-cultural precursors to contemporary ufology, an unusual amalgamation of beliefs, conceptions and ideas, based on ontologically officially inexistent phenomena. The focus of the paper is on the socio-cultural context which enabled the constitution and/or transformation of the contingent semantic matrix which would interpret “strange phenomena in the sky” as alien aircraft. By contextualizing ufology within the framework of popular culture on the shoulders of which it initially stood, I will shed light on the political, ideological and ethical climate in which the initial UFO discourse emerged. The trail for further ufological research was opened by pointing out that pop-culture – in the age of dwindling trust in official institutions which is symptomatic of the second half of the 20th century, as well as the dismantling of the idea of science as a value-neutral and objective way of looking at reality – had already paved the way for a pseudoscientific/sciencelike discourse like ufology to strive to constitute itself as a “science more scientific than science itself”, and as “more objective than the objective”. In other words, as a epistemologically valid, methodologically standardized, institutionally grounded, fiscally viable and ethically superior scientific discipline.
A Contribution to the Definition of the Concept of Popular Culture: An Empirical Inquiry into the Epistemological Shortcomings of Popular Conceptions about Pretrial Detention in Serbia
Authors: Nedeljković Saša
Published: April 2018

In an attempt to ascertain the functionality of certain definitions of the concept of popular culture, or rather, to point out certain methodological options for the study of popular culture through analyzing certain popular conceptions, I have sought out those areas of social life which are under-represented in popular culture. I consider their avoidance symptomatic, worthy of attention and suitable for analysis. Discovering pretrial confinement as one such neglected area or topic, and trying to indirectly discover what might be the cause of this, I have analyzed and systematized those of its characteristics and elements which do not fulfill the requirements of the syndrome of popularity as it is typically understood.
All Roads Lead to Guča: Modes of Representing Serbia and Serbs during the Guča Trumpet Festival
Authors: Krstić Marija
Published: April 2018

In this paper I research famous Serbian music event, the Dragačevo Trumpet Festival, better known as the Guča festival, by analysing on line photographs about the festival. The Dragačevo Trumpet Festival is one of the most famous music festivals in Serbia and one of the most famous brass band festivals in the world. Since 1961, it is annually held in the village of Guča in western Serbia. From 1962, the participants from other parts of Serbia came to Guča, while in 1963 for the first time the Roma players participated. From that time on, Roma remained among the best trumpeters at the competitions. However, during these fifty years, the festival always demonstrated and was conceptualised as the carrier of the Serbian folk tradition and culture. In my research I use visitors’ photographs available on one of the websites dedicated to Guča, www.guca.rs, in order to question how the festival’s photographs visually represent the Serbs. The main goal of the paper is to explain and show how Guča festival found its place in modern Serbia in spite of its rural, folk, barbarian and sometimes nationalist representation.
The Pop Song: The Epistolary Form of Popular Culture
Authors: Žikić Bojan
Published: April 2018

The paper deals with the basic form of contemporary popular music, which is considered from a viewpoint that conceptualizes popular culture as a form of supracultural communication. This perspective differs from earlier anthropological interest in music as, above all, grounded in some form of locality, supposedly traditional and authentic, where in it tries to focus this interest on the meaning of the songs and their reception.
Improved ciprofloxacin removal by a Fe(VI)-Fe3O4/graphene system under visible light irradiation
Authors: Fang Shunping , Zhou Zhengwei , Xue Jinjuan , He Guangyu , Chen Haiqun
Published: April 2018

In this paper, Fe3O4/graphene (Fe3O4/GE) nanocomposites were prepared by a co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS). The composites were used in combination with Fe(VI) to construct a Fe(VI)-Fe3O4/GE system in order to degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP) in simulated water samples. The photocatalytic properties of Fe(VI)-Fe3O4/GE were evaluated under visible light irradiation. The concentration of CIP in solution was detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A series of results showed that Fe(VI), as a good electron capture agent, could significantly improve the treatment performance. Major determining factors during CIP degradation were also investigated, in which solution pH of 9, Fe(VI) to Fe3O4/GE dosage ratio of 1:25 and GE content in the Fe3O4/GE nanocomposites of 10 wt% were found to be the best experimental conditions. The results demonstrated that the Fe(VI)-Fe3O4/GE system could offer an alternative process in water treatment in addition to the current Fe(VI)-UV/TiO2 process.

A educação da criança enjeitada e da súdita na Freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Apresentação (Natal, século XVIII)
Authors: Araujo Marta Maria , Paula Thiago Do Nascimento Torres de
Published: April 2018

O século XVIII, na Freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Apresentação, com sede episcopal na cidade de Natal, é o período para refletir sobre o estatuto da educação da criança enjeitada (e da criança súdita em geral) fora da escola e por meio da escola. O trabalho, na análise do corpus documental circunscrito ao século XVIII, alicerça-se no entendimento de Norbert Elias (1980; 2006) relativo aos processos de dependências e interdependências que ligam as pessoas e no conceito de figuração. Em termos de conclusão, a análise histórica a que se procedeu evidencia que o estatuto da educação dos bons costumes fora da escola sobrepujou, nesse século XVIII, a conservação da ordem sociorreligiosa vigente. A exceção deveu-se à criação das cadeiras públicas de Gramática Latina (1731) e de Primeiras Letras (1793), devido à insistência dos Oficiais do Senado da Câmara de Natal em recíproca interdependência com os pais de crianças e de jovens.

N-Acetyl Cysteine and Vitamin D Supplementation in Treatment Resistant Obsessive-compulsive Disorder Patients: A General Review
Authors: di Michele Flavia , Siracusano Alberto , Talamo Alessandra , Niolu Cinzia
Published: April 2018

Objective: Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a disabling mental illness for which pharmacological
and psychosocial interventions are all too often inadequate. This demonstrates the need for more targeted
therapeutics. Recent preclinical and clinical studies have implicated the dysfunction of glutamatergic neurotransmission
in the pathophysiology of OCD. Moreover, there are studies suggesting that neuroimmune abnormalities
may play an important role in the pathogenesis of OCD. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a safe and readily available
agent that would modify the synaptic release of glutamate in subcortical brain regions via modulation of the
cysteine-glutamate antiporter. The modulation of inflammatory pathways may also play a role in the benefits seen
following NAC treatment. Therefore NAC can be considered a neuroprotective agent.

Methods:

This paper explores the role of NAC in the treatment of OCD conditions refractory to first-line pharmacological
interventions, reviewing the clinical studies published in the last decade.

Results:

The possible benefit mechanisms of NAC for this disorder will be discussed, as well as the role of vitamin
D supplementation, given its specific property of stimulating the formation of glutathione in the brain.

Conclusion:

Nutraceutical supplementation in treatment resistance OCD may be important not only for improving
obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, but also from a psychological perspective, given its better acceptance
by the patients compared to pharmacological treatment.
Phytochemical Screening, Antiproliferative and Antioxidant Properties of Various Extracts from Endemic Origanum acutidens
Authors: Oke-Altuntas Feyza , Demirci Mehmet Ali , Demirtas Ibrahim , Yaglioglu Ayse Sahin , Behcet Lutfi
Published: April 2018

Aim and Objective:

Origanum acutidens (Hand.–Mazz.) Ietsw. is an endemic and
perennial plant grown mainly in East Anatolia. Recently, natural plant products have attracted
interest due to their safety and therapeutic effects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate
phytochemical contents and biological effects of Origanum acutidens.

Materials and Methods:

The aerial parts of O. acutidens were extracted with water, ethyl acetate, nbutanol,
and methanol/chloroform solvents. Phenolic compounds and other constituents of the
extracts were analyzed by HPLC/TOF-MS. The Ethyl Acetate extract (EA) was fractionated by flash
chromatography. The extracts and fractions were investigated for their antiproliferative activities on
human cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cell line by using BrdU ELISA assay. Antioxidant activities
of the extracts and fractions were evaluated by complementary test systems, namely determination of
total phenolic contents, metal chelating ability and DPPH radical scavenging assay.

Results:

Among the extracts, Ethyl Acetate extract (EA) exhibited the highest antiproliferative
activity (IC50 = 15.71 ± 0.04 µg/mL) on HeLa cells. It was therefore fractionated by flash
chromatography to obtain 10 fractions which were investigated for their phenolic compounds and
bioactivities. Rosmarinic acid was determined as the major component of EA and its fractions. EA
exhibited higher antiproliferative activity against HeLa cell line than its fractions and 5-fluorouracil
(5-FU) at the concentration of 100 µg/mL. EA and its fractions (F10, F6, F4, F7, F3, and F2)
displayed higher radical scavenging activity compared to Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT). These
effects may be attributed to the presence of rosmarinic acid in EA and its active fractions.

Conclusion:

This study demonstrated that O. acutidens is an essential natural source of polyphenols
and a potent natural antioxidant and antiproliferative agent for food and pharmaceutical industries.
Methodologies Related to Computational Models in View of Developing Anti-Alzheimer Drugs: An Overview
Authors: Baheti Kirtee , Kale Mayura
Published: April 2018

Background:

Since the last two decades, there has been more focus on the
development strategies related to Anti-Alzheimer’s drug research. This may be attributed to the
fact that most of the Alzheimer's cases are still mostly unknown except for a few cases, where
genetic differences have been identified. With the progress of the disease, the symptoms involve
intellectual deterioration, memory impairment, abnormal personality and behavioural patterns,
confusion, aggression, mood swings, irritability Current therapies available for this disease give
only symptomatic relief and do not focus on manipulations of biololecular processes.

Methods:

Nearly all the therapies to treat Alzheimer's disease, target to change the amyloid
cascade which is considered to be important in AD pathogenesis. New drug regimens are not able
to keep pace with the ever-increasing understanding about dementia at the molecular level.
Looking into these aggravated problems, we thought to put forth molecular modeling as a drug
discovery approach for developing novel drugs to treat Alzheimer disease. The disease is incurable
and it gets worst as it advances and finally causes death. Due to this, the design of drugs to treat
this disease has become an utmost priority for research. One of the most important emerging
technologies applied for this has been Computer-assisted drug design (CADD). It is a research tool
that employs large-scale computing strategies in an attempt to develop a model receptor site which
can be used for designing of an anti-Alzheimer drug.

Results:

Various models of amyloid-based calcium channels have been computationally optimized.
Docking and De novo evolution are used to design the compounds. They are further subjected to
absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) studies to finally bring
about active compounds that are able to cross BBB. Many novel compounds have been designed
which might be promising ones for the treatment of AD.

Conclusion:

The present review describes the research carried out on various heterocyclic
scaffolds that can serve as lead compounds to design Anti-Alzheimer’s drugs in the future. The
molecular modeling methods can thus become a better alternative for the discovery of newer Anti-
Alzheimer agents. This methodology is extremely useful to design drugs in minimum time with
enhanced activity keeping balanced ethical considerations. Thus, the researchers are opting for this
improved process over the conventional methods hoping to achieve a sure shot way out for the
sufferings of people affected by Alzheimer besides other diseases.
Comparative Analysis of DNA Motif Discovery Algorithms: A Systemic Review
Authors: Hashim Fatma A. , Mabrouk Mai S. , Atabany Walid A.L.
Published: April 2018

Background:

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines biology and information
technology to study how to deal with the biological data. The DNA motif discovery
problem is the main challenge of genome biology and its importance is directly proportional to increasing
sequencing technologies which produce large amounts of data. DNA motif is a repeated
portion of DNA sequences of major biological interest with important structural and functional
features. Motif discovery plays a vital role in the antibody-biomarker identification which is useful
for diagnosis of disease and to identify Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBSs) that help in
learning the mechanisms for regulation of gene expression. Recently, scientists discovered that the
TFs have a mutation rate five times higher than the flanking sequences, so motif discovery also
has a crucial role in cancer discovery.

Methods:

Over the past decades, many attempts use different algorithms to design fast and accurate
motif discovery tools. These algorithms are generally classified into consensus or probabilistic
approach.

Results:

Many of DNA motif discovery algorithms are time-consuming and easily trapped in a local
optimum.

Conclusion:

Nature-inspired algorithms and many of combinatorial algorithms are recently proposed
to overcome the problems of consensus and probabilistic approaches. This paper presents a
general classification of motif discovery algorithms with new sub-categories. It also presents a
summary comparison between them.

Survey of Kidney Biopsy Clinical Practice and Training in the United States
Authors: Yuan Christina M. , Nee Robert , Little Dustin J. , Narayan Rajeev , Childs John M. , Prince Lisa K. , Raghavan Rajeev , Oliver James D. ,   for the Nephrology Education Research and Development Consortium (NERDC)
Published: April 2018

Background and Objectives

Practicing clinical nephrologists are performing fewer diagnostic kidney biopsies. Requiring biopsy procedural competence for graduating nephrology fellows is controversial.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements

An anonymous, on-line survey of all Walter Reed training program graduates (n=82; 1985–2017) and all United States nephrology program directors (n=149; August to October of 2017), regarding kidney biopsy practice and training, was undertaken.

Results

Walter Reed graduates’ response and completion rates were 71% and 98%, respectively. The majority felt adequately trained in native kidney biopsy (83%), transplant biopsy (82%), and tissue interpretation (78%), with no difference for ≤10 versus >10 practice years. Thirty-five percent continued to perform biopsies (13% did ≥10 native biopsies/year); 93% referred at least some biopsies. The most common barriers to performing biopsy were logistics (81%) and time (74%). Program director response and completion rates were 60% and 77%. Seventy-two percent cited ≥1 barrier to fellow competence. The most common barriers were logistics (45%), time (45%), and likelihood that biopsy would not be performed postgraduation (41%). Fifty-one percent indicated that fellows should not be required to demonstrate minimal procedural competence in biopsy, although 97% agreed that fellows should demonstrate competence in knowing/managing indications, contraindications, and complications. Program directors citing ≥1 barrier or whose fellows did <50 native biopsies/year in total were more likely to think that procedural competence should not be required versus those citing no barriers (P=0.02), or whose fellows performed ≥50 biopsies (P<0.01).

Conclusions

Almost two-thirds of graduate respondents from a single military training program no longer perform biopsy, and 51% of responding nephrology program directors indicated that biopsy procedural competence should not be required. These findings should inform discussion of kidney biopsy curriculum requirements.

Are the FAIR Data Principles fair?
Authors: Dunning Alastair , De Smaele Madeleine , BÃ¶hmer Jasmin
Published: April 2018

This practice paper describes an ongoing research project to test the effectiveness and relevance of the FAIR Data Principles. Simultaneously, it will analyse how easy it is for data archives to adhere to the principles. The research took place from November 2016 to January 2017, and will be underpinned with feedback from the repositories.

The FAIR Data Principles feature 15 facets corresponding to the four letters of FAIR - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable. These principles have already gained traction within the research world. The European Commission has recently expanded its demand for research to produce open data. The relevant guidelines1are explicitly written in the context of the FAIR Data Principles. Given an increasing number of researchers will have exposure to the guidelines, understanding their viability and suggesting where there may be room for modification and adjustment is of vital importance.

This practice paper is connected to a dataset(Dunning et al.,2017) containing the original overview of the sample group statistics and graphs, in an Excel spreadsheet. Over the course of two months, the web-interfaces, help-pages and metadata-records of over 40 data repositories have been examined, to score the individual data repository against the FAIR principles and facets. The traffic-light rating system enables colour-coding according to compliance and vagueness. The statistical analysis provides overall, categorised, on the principles focussing, and on the facet focussing results.

importancia del desarrollo de la teoría cinematográfica feminista en México: un llamado al análisis del género y el cine
Authors: Solís Salazar Sofía G.
Published: April 2018

Este artículo propone la revisión de tres coyunturas que se engendran en las condiciones actuales del cine mexicano en su relación con el género: la invisibilidad del trabajo de las directoras nacionales, la reproducción de estereotipos de género en el cine comercial y la transfiguración de la espectadora mexicana como consumidora de un mercado más extenso que el del cine. Este trabajo se desarrolla como un llamado a la consolidación de una teoría cinematográfica feminista mexicana que, de manera urgente, se aproxime a estas tres problemáticas

PARA O-CU-PAR, ENTRE! ENTRE POLÍTICAS, ESTÉTICAS, SUBJETIVIDADES E CORPOS INDISCIPLINADOS
Authors: García Paulo César
Published: April 2018

Considero tratar o ato de ocupar a literatura por um lugar político e como tendência inovadora da estética que agencia possibilidade de discursos que assumem o plano do político-cultural pela experiência de subjetividades, com produções que refletem as potentes formas de existências em criativas e provocadoras escritas que representam a ambiência LGBTTTs. Este texto se fundamenta por trazer à tona as rupturas que envolvem as identificações de gêneros, evitando regras generalizadas que marcam privilégios de termos flexionados no masculino e de formas primárias do binário tocadas pelas referências de sexualidades masculinizadas. A palavra o-CU-p-ação pretende debater o que pode falar sobre a zona do corpo politizada por estéticas, do que traduz pela marca do queer o desejo de existir menos sexualizado e mais fomentado para entreter a inserção dos subalternos/as. A visão de transversalidade é buscada com a noção de comparativismo, para apresentar a leitura crítica ao literário, a partir da crítica cultural em Coutinho (2003), Preciado (2000, 2003, 2014), Butler (2003), Foucault (1988, 2003), Hocquemghem (2000), Ranciére (2005), com o objetivo de operar o sentido do anal como metáfora pensante e politizada e com a qual busco analisar as obras literárias de Marcelino Freire (2003), Bernardo Santareno (2006), Waldo Motta (2008, 1996, 1984) como estéticas críticas que veem as subjetividades e corpos indisciplinados.
VIOLÊNCIA E HOMOSSEXUALIDADE NA AUTOFICÇÃO CONTEMPORÂNEA: A RECEPÇÃO DO CASO EDOUARD LOUIS
Authors: Vieira Willian
Published: April 2018

Propõe-se pensar a autoficção a partir da recepção de Histoire de la violence, romance em que o escritor Edouard Louis relata um estupro sofrido por ele. Após a publicação, o autor foi processado por atentado à vida privada pelo próprio estuprador. Ao expor seu trauma de forma literária, mas mantendo-se fiel à história (incluindo os nomes reais), Louis não só causou a fúria de uma pessoa real, algo típico da autoficção na França, como trouxe à tona a violência silenciosa sofrida por homossexuais, inclusive quando decidem denunciá-la. E o fez em um livro carregado de análise sociológica, como já fizera em En finir avec Eddy Bellegueulle. Ambos nada lembram certa queer literature de cunho “maldito”, de Genet a Dustan. Em Louis, a provocação não está no estilo, mas na suposta veracidade do relato. A partir da recepção, sobretudo na imprensa, tenta-se delinear a maneira como a violência contra o homossexual (estética e eticamente) é recebida quando denunciada sob a égide da autoficção.
O CORPO LGBT PATOLOGIZADO: FRATURAS E DEGRADAÇÕES DO LUGAR DO SER EM UM CENÁRIO DE VIOLÊNCIAS
Authors: Aquino Ana Márcia Ruas de , Mari Hugo
Published: April 2018

Pretende-se, com este texto, questionar o cenário social, político, linguageiro, cultural e histórico, que deve demandar posicionamentos de resistência no que concerne ao preconceito sexual vigente, capaz de rotular, destruir psicologicamente e até mesmo ceifar a vida de outros seres humanos, por razões ligadas a uma racionalidade subjetiva que encontra anuência em um discurso heteronormativo, sexista e homofóbico, ao reproduzir crenças, valores e desejos hetrossexualizados, com corpos rotulados por metáforas estigmatizadoras, nas relações de poder que se reforçam numa sociedade que tem como norma o hétero, descartando o homossexual e praticando ações homofóbicas paroxistas. No intuito de definir-lhe os aspectos atuais mais constantes, busca descrever o cenário da patologização do não heteronormativo e delinear, no contexto da heteronormatividade, a LGBTfobia, com categorias naturalizadas e manipulação de símbolos a essas categorias semânticas como reflexo da cognição humana, pela capacidade humana de categorizar e reproduzir categorias produtoras de sentidos metafóricos sexistas.
O SER DESCONTÍNUO E O DESEJO HOMOERÓTICO EM CONTOS DE ANTONIO DE PÁDUA
Authors: Mendes Júnior Simião , Camargo Flávio Pereira
Published: April 2018

Antonio de Pádua Dias da Silva em sua primeira obra de contos Sobre rapazes e homens, de 2006, explora, através de seus personagens, questões relacionadas à subjetividade e à identidade gay, como a carência afetiva e sexual, através de uma narrativa carregada de sensibilidade poética e visceral. Esse artigo procura discutir e identificar como se manifesta o desejo homoerótico destes personagens, demonstrando a relação intrínseca entre o desejo inquietante com a descontinuidade do ser, que muitas vezes levam os sujeitos gays a situações de injúria, abjeção e solidão.
POSIÇÕES DE PROFESSORES EM FORMAÇÃO E PROFESSORES FORMADORES (ENTRE)VISTAS EM ATIVIDADES DIDÁTICAS
Authors: Assunção Emerson Tadeu Cotrim , Modl Fernanda De Castro
Published: April 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir sobre questões vinculadas ao letramento acadêmico (BARTON; HAMILTON, 2000; LEA; STREET 1998), a partir da tematização de aspectos relativos à construção da autoria (MATENCIO, 2002, 2006) em gêneros acadêmicos. A discussão é orientada pela análise de posições de professores em formação (licenciandos em Letras) em dialogia com dois de seus professores formadores materializadas em respostas a duas atividades didáticas que integram a agenda de trabalho de uma disciplina. Assumindo uma perspectiva discursiva (MONDADA; DUBOIS, 2003; POSSENTI, 2004) e metodologicamente amparados em princípios da pesquisa qualitativa (FLICK, 2002; MINAYO, 2012), dedicamo-nos a demonstrar a importância de que a atividade docente universitária leve em consideração representações sociais dos interlocutores que estão a orientar e, assim, a explicar o agir na universidade. Aqui, essas representações vinculam-se sobretudo ao trabalho em grupo, à produção de texto e à construção da autoria.

O LEGADO DA DEPENDÊNCIA CULTURAL NA LITERATURA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Botoso Altamir , Fraga Betania Vasconcelos da Cruz
Published: April 2018

Neste artigo, objetivamos estudar alguns aspectos da sociedade colonial brasileira e serão apontadas apenas algumas das características históricas e culturais do legado da colonização referente à literatura, tais como a cultura do favor e a dependência cultural europeia. Como suporte teórico, utilizamos as obras e estudos de Antonio Candido (2006), Roberto Schwarz (1992) e Mikhail Bakhtin (1989, 2006, 2014). Faremos um comentário do capítulo XX de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas de Machado de Assis (1994), seguido da análise do conto o conto “Atravessando o psicossamba da loura fake” de Henrique Pimenta (2016), enfatizando questões do favor e dependências contidas nessas narrativas. Em síntese, observamos que as questões apresentadas perpetuam-se em obras do século XXI, revelando que traços do Brasil colônia mantêm-se na ficção brasileira contemporânea.
Impact of moderate heat stress on the biochemical and physiological responses of the invasive waterweed Elodea canadensis (Michx. 1803)

Global warming can negatively affect freshwater macrophytes. However, the degree to which freshwater plants can survive after long-term or short-term warming and the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of our study was to analyze the responses of an invasive plant to moderate heat stress (HS). Biochemical and physiological stress responses to experimental warming (30?}1.0?C/25?}1.0?C, day/night) were assessed in the invasive waterweed Elodea canadensis. The effect of the moderate HS on the macrophyte was evaluated through changes in the total protein content, catalase activity, lipid peroxidation, cellular membrane permeability by electrolyte leakage and the concentrations of carotenoids and photosynthetic pigments. Catalase activity and carotenoid concentrations increased significantly (p<0.01) in comparison to the control. A significant increase (p<0.05) in malondialdehyde concentration was observed. However, at the same time there was a persistent low level of electrolyte leakage in heat-treated plants as compared to the control. The results demonstrated that moderate HS improved membrane stability and increased the concentration of photosynthetic pigments and antioxidant activity in E. canadensis shoots. Moderate alterations in temperature may favorably affect the physiology and growth of the invasive macrophyte E. canadensis. It is reasonable to expect that warming could lead to a gradual change in E. canadensis distribution and to changes in composition of freshwater ecosystems.
Maxillary arch dimensions associated with acoustic parameters in prepubertal children
Authors: Hamdan Abdul-Latif , Khandakji Mohannad , Macari Anthony Tannous
Published: April 2018

Objectives:

To evaluate the association between maxillary arch dimensions and fundamental frequency and formants of voice in prepubertal subjects.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty-five consecutive prepubertal patients seeking orthodontic treatment were recruited (mean age = 11.41 ± 1.46 years; range, 8 to 13.7 years). Participants with a history of respiratory infection, laryngeal manipulation, dysphonia, congenital facial malformations, or history of orthodontic treatment were excluded. Dental measurements included maxillary arch length, perimeter, depth, and width. Voice parameters comprising fundamental frequency (f0_sustained), Habitual pitch (f0_count), Jitter, Shimmer, and different formant frequencies (F1, F2, F3, and F4) were measured using acoustic analysis prior to initiation of any orthodontic treatment. Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to measure the strength of associations between different dental and voice parameters. Multiple linear regressions were computed for the predictions of different dental measurements.

Results:

Arch width and arch depth had moderate significant negative correlations with f0 (r = −0.52; P = .001 and r = −0.39; P = .022, respectively) and with habitual frequency (r = −0.51; P = .0014 and r = −0.34; P = .04, respectively). Arch depth and arch length were significantly correlated with formant F3 and formant F4, respectively. Predictors of arch depth included frequencies of F3 vowels, with a significant regression equation (P-value < .001; R2 = 0.49). Similarly, fundamental frequency f0 and frequencies of formant F3 vowels were predictors of arch width, with a significant regression equation (P-value < .001; R2 = 0.37).

Conclusions:

There is a significant association between arch dimensions, particularly arch length and depth, and voice parameters. The formant most predictive of arch depth and width is the third formant, along with fundamental frequency of voice.
