Published: December 2018

Background and design

There are limited data on the effects of blood pressure and cholesterol lowering in Asians at intermediate risk and no cardiovascular disease. We report an analysis of the effects of blood pressure and cholesterol lowering in Asians enrolled in the Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation 3 (HOPE 3) trial.

Methods

We randomly assigned 6241 Asians and 6464 non-Asians at intermediate risk without cardiovascular disease to candesartan 16 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg or placebo and rosuvastatin 10 mg or placebo. The first co-primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular disease death, myocardial infarction and stroke. The second co-primary outcome additionally included heart failure, cardiac arrest and revascularisation. Median follow-up was 5.6 years.

Results

Reduction in systolic blood pressure was less among Asians (4.3 vs. 7.7 mmHg for non-Asians, P < 0.0001) mainly due to a lesser effect in Chinese (2.1 mmHg) than in other Asians (7.3 mmHg), reduction in the latter being similar to non-Asians. The effect on the composite outcomes was similar, with no significant benefits from blood pressure lowering for either Asians (Chinese or non-Chinese) or non-Asians. Rosuvastatin reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to a lesser degree in Asians (0.49 mmol/L (–19.1 mg/dL) compared with non-Asians 0.95 mmol/L (−36.7 mg/dL), Pinteraction < 0.0004). Yet both groups had similar reductions in the two co-primary outcomes. There was no increase in permanent medication discontinuation due to muscle-related symptoms in either group. There was an excess in new diabetes in non-Asians (4.70% rosuvastatin, 3.52% placebo, P = 0.025) but not in Asians (3.02% rosuvastatin, 4.04% placebo, P = 0.0342), Pinteraction = 0021.

Conclusions

Candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide had fewer effects in reducing blood pressure in Chinese and rosuvastatin reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to a lesser extent in Asians compared with non-Asians. There was no overall reduction in clinical events with lowering blood pressure in either Asians or non-Asians, whereas there were clear and consistent benefits with lipid lowering in both. Despite extensive analyses, we have no obvious explanation for the observed findings. Future studies need to include larger numbers of individuals from different regions of the world to ensure that the results of trials are applicable globally.

Published: December 2018

Background

The effect of current infection of Helicobacter pylori on gastric cancer has rarely been studied in a large population. We investigated the association of current H. pylori infection and metabolic factors with gastric cancer in a large population.

Methods

Persons who made their first visit to the National Cancer Center for a health examination, including endoscopy and H. pylori testing using gastric tissue between 2003 and 2013, were included. The association of H. pylori with gastric cancer was estimated using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Among 35,519 people, 113 gastric cancer and 158 gastric dysplasia cases were detected. In the adjusted analysis, gastric cancer was associated with current H. pylori infection (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.53–3.74), age (OR, 1.06; 95% CI 1.04–1.08), first‐degree relatives with gastric cancer (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.30–3.32) and hyperglycaemia (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.04–2.65), whereas it was inversely associated with high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.22–0.94). In the subanalysis, gastric cancer was associated with first‐degree relatives with gastric cancer (OR, 3.23; 95% CI, 1.39–7.50) in the absence of H. pylori, whereas it was associated with hyperglycaemia (OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.16–3.39) in the presence of H. pylori.

Conclusions

Gastric cancer was associated with current H. pylori infection, hyperglycaemia, and low HDL levels in a large population.
RETRACTED ARTICLE: A method for spectral image registration based on feature maximum submatrix
Authors: Wang Ke , Wang Huiqin , Wu Meng , Wang Zhan , Liu Jialin
Published: December 2018

In order to solve the geometric offset caused by replacing the filter during imaging of multichannel spectral image data, a multichannel spectral image registration method based on SURF feature merged with maximum submatrix is proposed. Firstly, the feature of multichannel spectral image is extracted by SURF. Then, a perspective transformation is performed to obtain a preliminary registration image. For the problem of invalid areas with zero pixel values appearing at the boundary of the image after registration, the largest submatrix is used to detect the maximum inscribed rectangle of the image to remove the invalid boundary region, and maximize the reserved effective region information. Experimented was processed with multichannel imaging data of murals. Experimental results agree with the theoretic analysis and verified that the proposed registration method is better adapted to image scale and brightness changing. At the same time, it can avoid the influence of invalid regions generated by other registration methods on subsequent spectral reconstruction and color restoration which has better performance.
PlasmodiumcentrinPbCEN-4 localizes to the putative MTOC and is dispensable for malaria parasite proliferation
Authors: Roques Magali , Stanway Rebecca R. , Rea Edward I. , Markus Robert , Brady Declan , Holder Anthony A. , Guttery David S. , Tewari Rita
Published: December 2018

Centrins are calmodulin-like phosphoproteins present in the centrosome and play an active role in the duplication, separation and organization of centrosomal structures such as the microtubule-organizing centre (MTOC) during mitosis. They are also major components of the basal body of flagella and cilia. In Plasmodium spp., the parasite that causes malaria, mitosis is closed during asexual replication and the MTOC is embedded within the intact nuclear membrane. The MTOC has been named the centriolar plaque, and is similar to the spindle pole body in yeast. In all phases of asexual replication, repeated rounds of nuclear division precede cell division. However, our knowledge of the location and function of centrins during this process is limited. Previous studies have identified four putative centrins in the human parasite, P. falciparum. We report here the cellular localization of an alveolate-specific centrin (PbCEN-4) during the atypical cell division of asexual replicative stages, using live cell imaging with the rodent malaria parasite P. berghei as a model system. We show that this centrin forms a multi-protein complex with other centrins, but is dispensable for parasite proliferation.
Έμφυλα στερεότυπα και καταμερισμός στη Μουσική Εκπαίδευση: Η περίπτωση της διδασκαλίας λαϊκών και παραδοσιακών οργάνων σε δύο Μουσικά Σχολεία της περιφέρειας

Η προσφορά των Μουσικών Σχολείων στο χώρο της λαϊκής και παραδοσιακής μουσικής μπορεί να θεωρηθεί σημαντική, βάσει ενός μεγάλου αριθμού αποφοίτων τους που δραστηριοποιούνται σήμερα επαγγελματικά στο χώρο αυτό.  Επιπλέον, με τη διδασκαλία των λαϊκών μουσικών ιδιωμάτων στα σχολεία αυτά, εισέρχονται όλο και περισσότερες γυναίκες σε ένα πεδίο ανέκαθεν ανδροκρατούμενο, με τον ρόλο τους να περιορίζεται κατά το παρελθόν σε αυτόν της τραγουδίστριας.  Ενδιαφέρον παρουσιάζει η περίπτωση οργάνων που σταδιακά φαίνεται να προτιμώνται περισσότερο από γυναίκες, ενώ άλλα πάλι έχουν διατηρήσει τον «αντρικό» τους χαρακτήρα.  Μέχρι στιγμής, η ξένη βιβλιογραφία πάνω στα έμφυλα στερεότυπα  στη Μουσική Εκπαίδευση, και ειδικότερα τη σχέση μεταξύ του φύλου των μαθητών/μαθητριών και του οργάνου που επιλέγουν, είναι ιδιαίτερα πλούσια.  Στόχος του άρθρου αυτού είναι η μελέτη αντίστοιχων στερεοτύπων σχετικά με λαϊκά και παραδοσιακά όργανα, με βάση εθνογραφικό υλικό που συλλέχθηκε σε δύο επαρχιακά Μουσικά Σχολεία.  Για το σκοπό αυτό ο συγγραφέας προτείνει ένα θεωρητικό μοντέλο, το οποίο αποδίδει στο φύλο αξιολογικό και σίγουρα όχι ουδέτερο χαρακτήρα, μέσω του οποίου νομιμοποιούνται υπάρχουσες ιεραρχίες.  Έτσι, κάθε είδους ενασχόληση με τη μουσική που τελείται από γυναίκες αποκτά αυτόματα και χαμηλότερο κύρος, αλλά και αντίστροφα, δραστηριότητες χαμηλού κοινωνικού κύρους αποφεύγονται από τους άντρες και αντιμετωπίζονται ως λιγότερο αρρενωπές.
Model framework for governance of genomic research and biobanking in Africa – a content description

Published: December 2018

Genomic research and biobanking are expanding globally, with a promise to fast-track the research needed to improve approaches to disease treatment and prevention through scientific collaborations such as the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) initiative. Integral to this type of research is the availability of samples and data for research. The need for broad access brings along a host of ethical concerns, including those related to privacy and confidentiality, as well as fairness and equity in access and capacity to utilise these samples between scientists from the high income and low income countries. Addressing these concerns while promoting genomic research, especially in Africa, requires the implementation of a sound governance framework. In this paper, we describe the contents of a Framework for Best Practice for Genomics Research and biobanking in Africa that was developed, under the auspices of the H3Africa initiative. This framework is broad enough to be used and adapted by African countries to facilitate the development of country-specific guidelines and to help improve the conduct and governance of genomics research.
Impact of eliminating malaria by 2040 on poverty rates among agricultural households in Africa
Authors: Willis Derek W. , Hamon Nick
Published: December 2018

Background: Reaching the goal of eradicating malaria by 2040, if achieved, would have a profound effect on farmers’ lives in sub-Saharan Africa. Our objective is to examine how achieving that goal would affect poverty rates of agricultural households.

Methods: We analyzed the potential impact of eliminating malaria by 2040 on poverty rates among agricultural households in malarious regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Our model used ten scenarios to examine how the impact of eliminating malaria by 2040 on households’ income would affect the number of individuals living on less than $1.90 (2011 PPP) per day. 

Results: We analyzed ten scenarios for malaria’s impact on agricultural household income from 2018 to 2040 for the approximately 324 million individuals in agricultural households in malarious regions of sub-Saharan Africa in 2018. We found that approximately 53 million to 123 million individuals would escape poverty by 2040 if malaria were eliminated by that year. If the malaria burden in agricultural households remained at its current level through 2040, only 40 million individuals would escape poverty by 2040, a decrease of only 24%. Therefore, the impact of eliminating malaria by 2040, relative to the status quo scenario through 2040, is that approximately 13 million to 84 million individuals in agricultural households will escape poverty. 

Conclusions: The modeling analysis presented here is meant to be a starting point for additional research into the potential impact of eliminating malaria on the incomes of agricultural households in sub-Saharan Africa. This study could be strengthened with the application of new methods to examine malaria’s impact on the welfare of agricultural households. We recommend the collection and analysis of longitudinal data from agricultural households in future studies of malaria’s impact on these households.

The Polish adaptation of the Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised by A. Osman et al.
Authors: Chodkiewicz Jan , Gruszczyńska Ewa
Published: December 2018

Cel pracy

Celem przeprowadzonego badania było dokonanie polskiej adaptacji Kwestionariusza Zachowań Samobójczych A. Osmana i współpracowników (Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire Revised - SBQ-R). Kwestionariusz składa się z czterech pytań służących do samoopisowej oceny natężenia tendencji suicydalnych (suicidal behaviors including ideation and attempts).

Metoda

Zbadano 926 osób - studentów oraz słuchaczy studiów podyplomowych łódzkich szkół wyższych. Wśród badanych było 526 kobiet i 400 mężczyzn. Oprócz Kwestionariusza SBQ-R do oceny jego trafności teoretycznej zastosowano Inwentarz Depresji Becka, Skalę Bólu Psychicznego Holdena i wsp. oraz Skalę Poczucia Sensu Życia PIL Crumbaugha i Maholica.

Wyniki

Eksploracyjna i konfirmacyjna analiza czynnikowa potwierdziła jednowymiarowy charakter narzędzia. Zgodność wewnętrzna, oceniona na podstawie alfa Cronbacha, wynosiła 0.83. Wyniki kwestionariusza korelują istotnie dodatnio z poziomem depresji i bólu psychicznego oraz ujemnie z poczuciem sensu życia. Osoby, które w przeszłości podejmowały zachowania samobójcze, miewały myśli samobójcze oraz te, u których w rodzinie pochodzenia występowały próby samobójcze lub uzależnienie od alkoholu, charakteryzowały się istotnie wyższym wynikiem uzyskany w SBQ-R.

Wnioski

Rezultat przeprowadzonych prac nad adaptacją Kwestionariusza Zachowań Samobójczych Osmana i współpracowników wskazuje na dobre parametry psychometryczne narzędzia i tym samym przemawia za użytecznością metody w badaniach naukowych oraz w praktyce klinicznej.
EFFECT OF REINFORCEMEMT PARTICLES PREHEATING ON MECHANICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF AMC
Authors: Fono – Tamo Romeo Sephyrin , Tien – Chien Jen
Published: December 2018

An investigation into the effect of preheating the powder particles versus not preheating before mixing it with an aluminium slurry was carried out. This was seen as way of overcoming the challenge of wettability which often occurs when powder particles are added to a melted metal for the purpose of developing a metal matrix composite. In this study, non – preheated, 2 w.% preheated and 4 w.% preheated palm kernel shell ash powder was used to develop an aluminium matrix composite (AMC) via stir casting method. Mechanical properties revealed that AMC with 4 w.% pks ash inclusion has the highest Vickers Hardness value. Meanwhile, optical micrographs and scanning electron micrograph show that the pks ash both non – preheated and preheated are homogenously distributed into the matrix. This is further confirmed by the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping of the various samples. Although pks ash particles are only visible on the optical microscope micrographs, the elemental analysis of the various samples through EDS show a strong presence of carbon at various degree proving the presence of pks ash in the composite. Overall, preheating does not significantly affect the surface morphology of the AMCs based on the derived optical and scanning electron micrographs and AMC with higher content of pks ash particles seems to have better mechanical properties.

Published: December 2018

In the present work, FeMn13-40 wt.% TiC composites was fabricated by pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) process at different temperatures between 990 and 1020°C under a pressure of 60 MPa with a holding time of 5 min in the vacuum. Phase identification was done using the X-ray diffraction. The relative density, the microstructure and the hardness of the samples were characterized. The results showed that the relative density of FeMn13-TiC composites increased with the increase of sintering temperature. The lowest porosity (3.84%) and the highest hardness (70.54 HRC) of the sample were achieved by PECS process, namely sintering at the temperature of 1020°C under the applied pressure of 60 MPa for 5 min.

Authors: Cruz Michele Santos , Garcia Leandro Martin Totaro , Andrade Douglas Roque , Florindo Alex Antonio
Published: December 2018

The aim of this study was to describe the main perceived barriers to engagement in leisure-time physical activity and associated factors among adults from the Ermelino Matarazzo district, Sao Paulo, Southeast, Brazil. Data were obtained from a population-based household survey conducted in 2007 involving 889 subjects (≥ 18 years). The long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to identify physically inactive individuals. Open question about barriers was applied only for people inactive in leisure and content analysis was conducted to categorize the barriers. Descriptive analysis was performed using frequencies. Bivariate associations between the five most frequently reported barriers and sociodemographic variables, reported diagnoses of chronic diseases, nutritional status, working timing, travel time (to work and school), and television watching were determined using the chi-square test. Results showed that the five most prevalent barriers were lack of time (39.7%), lack of desire or motivation (18.4%), dislike exercising (6.3%), have an injury or disease (5.6%), and lack of money (3.6%). The vulnerable groups to lack of time were people married, young and middle aged, and with longer labor journey. Health problems were related by people with hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases, elderly, with low education and who did not have labor activities. People who were not working, with low education and income, and with hypertension related more dislike of exercising. Lack of desire or motivation was most cited among people who watched television. These results are important to support community programs promoting leisure-time physical activity in areas with low socioeconomic status.
JORNAL ESCOLAR: GÊNERO E DISCURSO NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: Lima Vanessa Wendhausen
Published: December 2018

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar, do ponto de vista da Análise Crítica de Gênero (BONINI, 2011), a relação entre gênero e prática social em jornal escolar produzido por alunos de uma turma de correção de fluxo dos anos finais do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública estadual do município de Tubarão, SC. Esta pesquisa é um excerto de um projeto de letramento aplicado em virtude da tese de doutorado da autora e o objeto produzido, um jornal escolar, pretendia favorecer e/ou estimular o compromisso do aluno com sua própria aprendizagem. Tendo em vista a influência da prática social na produção de gênero, este artigo demonstra que um gênero produzido em sala de aula sofre a ação das crenças, histórias, valores e identidades dos indivíduos produtores. Os resultados sugerem, de um lado, que a prática social influencia a produção do gênero jornal escolar e não pode ser excluída do processo de análise genérica; e, de outro, considerando que o gênero é uma materialização discursiva, através do trabalho com gêneros na escola é possível atingir e provocar transformações na dinâmica de funcionamento social dos discursos. O jornal escolar visto como um gênero, demonstra que a escola deve se posicionar para além do estabelecimento de regras de ensino e entender que as influências extraescolares podem estar bem mais presentes do que se previa.
A formação de professores de língua portuguesa como L2 para surdos: saberes-fazeres da prática docente
Authors: PORTELA CLAUDIA Paranhos de Jesus , Bomfim Luciane Ferreira , Andrade Dídima Melo
Published: December 2018

Esse estudo tem por objetivo apresentar de que maneira a formação continuada para professores pode colaborar para a ressignificação das práticas pedagógicas dos docentes de Língua Portuguesa para surdos como L2. Por considerar que ministrar aulas na modalidade de uma segunda língua exige do professor metodologias didáticas adequadas, levando-se em conta que é uma segunda língua viso-espacial, portanto, diferente de como se ensina para pessoas ouvintes, foi desenvolvido um projeto de intervenção com proposta direcionada para a formação continuada, organizando oficinas formativas para professores que trabalham com educandos surdos, no que concerne ao ensino da Língua Portuguesa como L2 no município de São Francisco do Conde/Bahia/Brasil. Como metodologia foi utilizada a pesquisa participante e, como instrumento de coleta de dados o diário de bordo. O lócus da pesquisa foi o município de São Francisco do Conde (SFC) e os sujeitos foram os professores das escolas de surdos de Salvador/Bahia/Brasil, como também os professores das escolas inclusivas de SFC, que trabalham na sala de recursos, no Atendimento Educacional Especializado. A relevância deste estudo se justifica na medida em que acrescentamos outras discussões aos escassos trabalhos já publicados sobre a temática da formação inicial de professores para o ensino da Língua Portuguesa como L2, por conseguinte, buscando trazer novas perspectivas às lacunas deixadas.
A Resposta de Joseph Raz ao Ferrão Semântico | The answer of Joseph Raz to the Semantic Sting
Authors: Fernandes Gabriel De Carvalho
Published: December 2018

Este artigo examina a resposta de Joseph Raz ao argumento de Ronald Dworkin conhecido como “ferrão semântico”. Para isso, a crítica dworkiniana ao positivismo será exposta, de modo a se contextualizar o ferrão semântico como um desenvolvimento de sua objeção inicial apresentada no célebre Modelo de Regras (seção 2).  Em seguida, apresento a resposta de Raz e a analiso criticamente (seção 3). Minha conclusão é de que ela é uma reação insatisfatória ao argumento de Dworkin. Finalmente, considero alternativas diversas sobre o caminho de diferentes estratégias desenvolvidas para refutar o argumento dworkiniano (seção 4).

Democracia, Direitos Humanos e Direito Natural: crítica à tese de John Finnis sobre o casamento homossexual | Democracy, Human Rights and Natural Law: critique of John Finnis' thesis on homosexual marriage
Authors: Rios Roger Raupp
Published: December 2018

Examina-se de modo crítico a teoria da lei natural, de John Finnis, e sua defesa contra a possibilidade jurídica de reconhecimento do direito ao casamento entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, a partir de dois pontos de vista: a consistência interna da do referencial finnisiano e sua adequação diante do debate sobre direitos humanos. Examinam-se também as alegações associadas à defesa finnisiana, desde a proeminência de uma dita moral majoritária e da ofensa aos sentimentos públicos, até preocupações com a “promoção da homossexualidade”, suas consequências pretensamente prejudiciais aos menores e a fragilização da instituição do casamento. Apontam-se seus limites e sua incompatibilidade em face dos ideais democráticos que suplantaram os projetos nazi-fascistas no século XX, tomando como caso emblemático a decisão da Suprema Corte dos Estados Unidos no caso “Obergefell vs. Hodges”.
ESCOLAS QUE SÃO ASAS: UMA ANÁLISE SARTREANA DA ESCOLA DO CAMPO
Authors: Ramos Débora Jurado , Moura Jeani Paschoal Delgado
Published: December 2018

Partindo do existencialismo e da liberdade proferida por Sartre, procuramos entender a essência da escola do campo e quais as situações que a tornaram objeto de luta. Observamos a história da educação brasileira, entendendo as diversas essências atribuídas às escolas e a legalização da educação do campo como conquista dos trabalhadores. Acrescemos os indivíduos que atuam nestas instituições, seres classificados por Sartre como “Para si”, que gozam da liberdade de escolha. O argumento é que a escola, sendo um objeto “em si”, que, portanto, não se escolhe, não consegue construir com uma educação que busque a liberdade do ser. Guiados por situações sociais de falsa elevação de status pela profissão, os professores estão direcionando a escola do campo para fora do objetivo de sua essência. A solução encontra-se na revolta e liberdade. Revolta posta a partir da conscientização da situação dos indivíduos. Liberdade em escolher lutar, unindo alunos e professores. O ser “Para si” se livra de amarras e escolhe dar asas a uma educação libertária e revolucionária. Palavras-chave: Escola do Campo; Liberdade; Essência; Revolta.
ASPECTOS GEOMORFOLÓGICOS E ANÁLISE GEOECOLÓGICA EM UNIDADES DE CONSERVAÇÃO: ESTUDO DE CASO NO PARQUE NATURAL MUNICIPAL MONTANHAS DE TERESÓPOLIS
Authors: Lopez Gabriela Garcia Santana , Rocha Leão Otavio Miguez
Published: December 2018

Esse artigo enfoca as relações entre a sociedade e a natureza para a delimitação de uma área de conservação. Pautada na perspectiva dos Geossistemas tem como objetivo realizar uma análise geoecológica, com ênfase na geomorfologia, da área do Parque Natural Municipal Montanhas de Teresópolis e de suas relações com o processo de ocupação dos entornos. A delimitação da área do parque, localizado na região serrana do estado do Rio de Janeiro, desconsiderou o aspecto geossistêmico do ambiente, que integra sociedade e natureza em um sistema que possui elevada suscetibilidade a distúrbios em sua estabilidade. Durante um evento catastrófico em que ocorreram inúmeros deslizamentos em janeiro de 2011, no qual mais de 390 pessoas morreram apenas em Teresópolis, o sistema ambiental da área do parque foi atingido, tanto nas áreas protegidas quanto nas áreas de ocupação urbana, negligenciadas por politicas habitacionais ao longo da historia do município, e também, durante a delimitação da área do parque. O PNMMT possui a maior parte de sua área inserida no domínio montanhoso e, diante disso, torna-se mais susceptível a processos erosivos à medida que há uma atuação em conjunto com outros fatores hidrológicos e geomorfológicos. Esse artigo pretende apontar as contradições na delimitação da unidade de conservação e sua ineficiência em proteger o geosssistema montanhoso e as populações que habitam em suas proximidades. Palavras-chave: Unidades de Conservação; Geomorfologia; Geossistemas.
SOBRE A RELAÇÃO ENTRE EPISTEMOLOGIAS E A ROSA DOS VENTOS

Published: December 2018

Tenho acompanhado com alguma distância as proposições do sr. Boaventura de Souza Santos desde seu Pela Mão de Alice e seus esforços em justificar, identificar ou redefinir os diferentes significados de pós modernidade. Sem dúvida trata-se de um dos autores portugueses contemporâneos dos mais prolixos quando se trata de temas associados a política, sociologia, filosofia ou algo que possa ter algum nome associado a esses. Nas últimas semanas, um de seus artigos chamou minha atenção a ponto de provocar a necessidade de tecer comentários diretos sobre suas proposições: o que trata do conceito de Iluminismo e retoma a noção de uma epistemologia do sul. Para dialogar com o texto de Souza Santos, acabei optando pelo caminho mais longo e tortuoso (principalmente para aqueles que, como eu, já leram o texto aqui comentado): resolvi acompanhar parágrafo por parágrafo, proposição por proposição, inserindo aqui e ali os comentários que considerei pertinentes. Os textos de Souza Santos estão em itálico.
The Orthodontic/Periodontal Interface Part 3
Authors: Griffiths Sarah , El-Kilani Sara , Waring David , Darcey James , Malik Ovais H
Published: December 2018

Adult patients are increasingly seeking orthodontic treatment. It is essential to establish optimal periodontal health in these patients before embarking on such treatment, which demands the interaction between the general dental practitioner (GDP) and orthodontist for effective management. This article focuses on the management of periodontal disease in orthodontic patients, orthodontic considerations, retention and complications that may arise. This is demonstrated throughout a series of clinical cases treated within a multidisciplinary team. The management of patients with periodontal disease is often challenging; the clinical issues that require consideration are discussed throughout this article.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article provides a summary of the orthodontic and periodontal implications of different treatment techniques and management for the general practitioner.
Prevention and Optimal Management of Peri-Surgical Pain in Dentistry
Authors: Renton Tara
Published: December 2018

It is every patient's right to expect optimal pain management in relation to routine elective surgery. Dentistry is a profession predicated upon causing and/or managing pain in patients. Poorly managed pain, or severe pain, peri-operatively, is the predominant cause of complaints in NHS dentistry, often leading to legal or GDC scrutiny. Whether the unexpected or persistent pain initiates the patient's suspicions about possible sub-optimal treatment, which then precipitates a complaint, is a possible hypothesis. For now, however, focusing on managing the patient holistically using up-to-date pain management should be a priority for all dental teams. Recent evidence highlights the risks of opiate and opioid dependence and mortality. In addition, the minimal benefit these medications provide for peri-operative pain management compared with other over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics is recognized. Competent patient management, optimal local anaesthetic techniques and intelligent prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and paracetamol are the mainstay for odontogenic and surgical pain management.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: It is imperative that dental teams are familiar with current optimal peri-surgical pain management to optimize the patient's experience and minimize complaint.

The ‘radio service’: Religion and ABC national radio
Authors: Potts John
Published: December 2018

This article discusses religious broadcasting in Australia on Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) Radio during the 1940s and 1950s. ABC policy in this period was strictly ecumenical, at a time when Protestant/Catholic sectarian bitterness was a significant social issue in Australia. The article considers the ABC’s motivation for this ecumenical policy, as well as the broadcasting strategies employed in pursuit of this approach. ABC religious broadcasting is considered as part of the ABC’s contribution to a national conversation on religion, tolerance and national culture.
Hacia una revisión de la caracterización semántica y discursiva de la locución y eso que en español actual
Authors: López Serena Araceli
Published: December 2018

Este trabajo revisa la caracterización semántica, morfosintáctica, discursiva y variacional que las gramáticas y los diccionarios de partículas ofrecen sobre la locución conjuntiva y eso que. A resultas de ello, se ponen en cuestión algunas de las propiedades que normalmente se le atribuyen a esta construcción, como su supuesta intercambiabilidad con aunque en cualquier contexto, su mayor frecuencia de aparición en posición inicial de intervención como recurso óptimo para la toma de turno o su posposición sistemática a la proposición que expresa la consecuencia inesperada y desproporcionada de alguna causa cuyo efecto se preveía mitigar. Los datos que se aducen demuestran asimismo la necesidad de eliminar de su descripción la consideración de que se trata de una estructura impropia de la distancia comunicativa y apuntan, finalmente, a un hecho sobre el que aún no se había dado cuenta en la bibliografía especializada: su reciente conversión, en la lengua periodística, en contextos de inicio de párrafo tras punto y aparte, en un marcador del discurso destinado al cambio de tópico.
Participación comunitaria en educación-reconfiguraciones de lo escolar y de la participación social
Authors: Jiménez Naranjo Yolanda , Kreisel Maike
Published: December 2018

La participación social en educación es un campo vasto en experiencias y perspectivas. En este artículo, pretendemos aportar a dicho debate desde una experiencia educativa específica en escuelas secundarias comunitarias en México, en la cual la participación rebasa formas instrumentales de entender el conocimiento y el apoyo familiar a las escuelas, por un lado, y, por otro, discutimos la relación escuela-comunidad como un eje a partir del cual fomentar otras formas de comprender la educación escolarizada, sus pedagogías y aprendizajes. Sostenemos que formas activas de participación social en educación y no instrumentales se asocian positivamente a los esfuerzos por generar «una otra forma» de entender el proceso educativo escolar, particularmente en el contexto del reconocimiento político y social de los derechos de los pueblos indígenas a una educación basada en sus referentes culturales, lingüísticos y formas de organización social y política propias.
Metáforas de la educación universitaria
Authors: Luque Mengíbar David , López-Gómez Ernesto
Published: December 2018

Este artículo realiza un recorrido por las principales metáforas que se han desarrollado para sintetizar las distintas ideas de la universidad humanista, a saber: la torre de marfil, los grandes libros, la conversación y el agôn. Para ello, desarrolla una aproximación hermenéutica que busca comprender los fines de la universidad, sus instrumentos o la propia institución, a la luz de esas imágenes. Se observa que lo que podría parecer una única interpretación sobre la idea clásica de la universidad es, en realidad, un crisol con diferencias internas muy significativas. El análisis llevado a cabo permite extraer unas notas que permanecen constantes en todas las metáforas, a partir de las cuales es posible repensar la realidad de una universidad de inspiración humanista hoy.

Introduction to the Hegel translations
Authors: Bártfai Imre
Published: December 2018

In this special issue the editorial aim was to represent the whole spectrum of Hegel’s philosophy within the relatively small scope and size provided. Hegel’s system sprouted from one specific problem, the social effects of religion, but was soon extended to all areas of philosophy ranging from ontology to political philosophy. This issue contains the translations of two texts by Hegel, one on political issues, the other on the philosophy of religion. Other aspects of Hegel’s philosophy are represented by the papers.

The first translation is the so called first Wurttenberg text on political issues: he argues for cautious modernization and reform and against swift, radical democratization in political life. The second text is Hegel’s introduction to Wilhelm Hinrichs’s Die Religion im inneren Verhältnisse zur Wissenschaft (1822) in which Hegel expounds his critique of Schleiermacher. He criticizes Schleiermacher and other romantic theorists of religion who deprive faith of its objective content and system in response to the historical-scientific critique of religion by Enlightenment philosophers.
Absolute spirit: The relevance of Hegel’s theory today
Authors: Hoffmann Thomas Sören
Published: December 2018

The paper discusses two key Hegelian concepts: ‘the spirit’ and the remembrance of ‘the absolute.’ The explanation is performed in line with Robert Solomon’s interpretation of Hegel. Solomon writes: ‘[Hegel’s] philosophy is the philosophy of the imagination that encompasses everything: it is the absolute opposite of conceptual formalism.’ The paper argues that Hegel’s concept of ‘the spirit’ is not so much a bizarre conceptual formation of German idealism from two hundred years ago but rather a model of a specific world rich with objects. The absolute spirit commands philosophy, which is thinking rich with content, to demand its own place in the process of everyday cognition.
Nietzsche’s interpretation of Buddhism
Authors: Tóth Marianna
Published: December 2018

Nietzsche’s criticism of Christianity has been widely discussed, but his criticism of Buddhism has not been analyzed very often. Nietzsche was intrigued by Buddhism and Buddhism is often mentioned in his work critically as the second big nihilist religion beside Christianity. However, Nietzsche’s late work The Antichrist presents Buddhism in a positive light, as a practice of life contrasted to Christianity’s negation of life.

The paper poses the question of why and how Nietzsche changed his opinion of Buddhism. How does Buddhism relate to Nietzsche’s criticism of Christianity and eventually to his ideal of life? The problem is connected to the question of what idea of Buddhism Nietzsche could have had, what sources were available for him about Buddhism. The paper analyzes Shopenhauer’s influence on Nietzsche’s criticism of Buddhism to explain Nietzsche’s changing attitude.
Easy but not weightless – Pop Art, conceptual art, and politics: the progressive art of Miklós Erdély and Tamás Szentjóby in the second part of the 1960s
Authors: Kőhalmi Péter
Published: December 2018

Miklós Erdély’s theory of freedom can be analysed from the perspective of his general thoughts on the dichotomy of life and freedom.  However, the article focuses on the problem of Erdély’s theory of freedom in the context of the political. If, as he claims, freedom exists in art, then what is the relation of his art to the political, the actual conditions of freedom? This question can only be explored if his work is seen in context, in the context of the contemporary art scene of the 1960s. The paper claims that in comparison with the early neoavantgard art of Szentjóbi Tamás and company, Erdély’s work is tame or easy but surely not weightless.

The infinity of the real
Authors: Moldvay Tamás
Published: December 2018

Tamás Moldvay interprets Spinoza’s 12th letter to Mayer. In this letter Spinoza explicates his tenets about the infinite in a concise form. Moldvay concentrates primarily on the image that Spinoza uses to illustrate his idea of the incommunicability of the infinite mathematically. Moldvay explicates the idea of this mathematical incommunicability by relying on the notion of extended substance in Descartes’s physics.
The effect of Heidegger’s philosophy on Ortega y Gasset’s reading of Kant
Authors: Tóth Gábor
Published: December 2018

José Ortega y Gasset interprets Kant’s philosophy in two independent texts, in Reflexiones del centenario and in Anejo a mi folleto Kant. Ortega analyses Kant’s transcendental philosophy through the lens of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. Ortega’s Anejo a mi folleto Kant approaches the program of Kantian pure critique of reason as the “critique of reason vitalis.” The paper seeks to compare Ortega’s conclusions to Heidegger’s tenets in Kant and the problem of metaphysics.
Reference in the first, second, and third person
Authors: Kocsis Éva
Published: December 2018

We have direct access to our thoughts, therefore we think we can attribute beliefs and actions to ourselves differently than to others. However, linguistic concepts enable us to think about ourselves the same way as we think of others. The research question of the paper is how it is possible to find a unified model of first, second, and third person reference in language use that can allow for the personal quality of first person reference. The paper shows why the ’I’ in first person statements should be seen as a ineliminable item that is not reducible to non-indexic expressions semantically. Also, the paper claims that first, second, and third person references formulated by the same speaker have similar qualities (spontaneity, lack of identification, directness). Finally, the paper discusses the role of perception in these references.
Objective vs. personal knowledge: the question of knowledge and justification in Mihály Polányi’s philosophy
Authors: Ronkay Margit
Published: December 2018

Mihály Polányi critiques theories of knowledge that seek to define and justify knowledge on an objective basis. For him, gaining knowledge and justifying knowledge can only be explained in the personal dimension, as knowledge cannot be thought of without a person who knows. If anyone seeks to address the boundaries of his or her knowledge, s/he will arrive at the act of personal trust. The final possibility of justification is the clause “because I think so.”  Yet Polányi distinguishes the personal dimension from the subjective dimension: while personal knowledge leads towards truth, subjective knowledge leads towards failure. Personal knowledge joins two poles, the internal world of the person and the outer world of reality. This meeting point prevents personal knowledge from becoming subjective.

Knowledge that comes together in this framework is a responsible decision which joins a person’s subjective ideas to reality and transforms it into personal knowledge. The paper examines Polányi’s concept of truth and compares it to other theories of it (correspondence theory, coherence theory, Taski’s semantics theory).
