Neoproterozoic microbially-induced sedimentary structures (MISS) from Ediacaran Podillya Basin, Ukraine: mineralogical particularity and paleoenvironmental application
Authors: Soldatenko Y. , El Albani A. , Fontaine C. , Nesterovsky V. A. , Ruzina M. V. 
Published: October 2019

The Neoproterozoic Podillya sedimentary Basin is well known to the imprints of the Ediacaran soft-bodied fauna which were previously described by many ukrainian and foreign authors. At this period, fossil-rich siliciclastic sediments recognized as traces of early metazoans also contain evidence of significant microbiological activity. In these ediacaran sediments, many structures can be interpreted as microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS). Their morphologies have a great similarity with modern structures observed in relation with micro-organism activity. These specific structure and surfaces and their mineral composition are the criteria used to study the bacterial structures from the ukrainian Neoproterozoic sedimentary basin. Our results demonstrate microorganisms were organized in bacterial mats whose activity was recorded in the difference of mineralogy between biological films and host rocks. On outcrop, the different type of MISS are often associated with lenticular beddings, ripples and hummocky cross structures indicative of coastal-marine conditions close to the littoral zone of the basin at this epoch. If MISS are important in the issue of paleogeographic reconstructions, they also give precious informations about early diagenetic processes, syn- and post-sedimentation. By mineralogical approach we show that during the time of development of MISS structures and the burial that followed the diagenetic processes have remained moderate. Finally, the close coexistence with ediacarian fossils suggest that such bacterial mats could be at the origin of the fossilization process of soft-bodies of enigmatic Ediacaran biota of Mohyliv-Podylska Group and their preservation until today.
Horizontal and vertical zonation of the weathering rind of the northern part of the Krivy Rig Basin
Authors: Tikhlivets S. V. , Trunin O. M. 
Published: October 2019

The ferriferous-siliceous formation of the Kryvyi Rih Basin has been formed as a result of the effect of different geological processes: sedimentation, diagenesis, dynamothermal metamorphism, metasomatosis, orogenesis, hypergenesis. Hypergenic changes are manifested to a different extent within iron ore deposits of the Kryvyi Rih Basin. In the south part of the basin, thickness of the weathering rind in some places reaches 1,000-1,500 m, it is up to 2,500 in the central, and in the northern part this parameter is much lower. Hypergenic processes are observed in the sections of all stratigraphic horizons of the Saksahanska suite of the iron ore deposits of the Kryvyi Rih Basin. The thickness of their manifestations changes depending on the horizon (schist, ferriferous). Therefore, over the study, we determined the impact of stratigraphic horizon on variance of thickness of the weathering rind within the northern area of the Kryvyi Rih basin, on example of the Hannivsk deposit. The surveys were performed in all hypsometric levels of the deposit. Schematic sections of the deposit`s weathering rind were made. The products of hypergenesis are hematite quartzites with qualitative parameters (total content of iron) no lower than in magnetic quartzites. In some deposits, the reserves of the hematite quartzites are quite large, but they are not being extracted. For more detailed study of the structure of the weathering rind, manifestation of its vertical zonation was investigated, a schematic section of the weathering ring within the ferriferous-siliceous formation of the deposit was made designating all mineralogical zones. We studied the variance of mineral composition of the ferriferous rocks depending on the manifestation of horizontal zonation of the weathering rind and impact of hypergenic processes on authigenic-metamorphogenic zonation of the productivity of the deposit`s layer. We developed a scheme of mineralogical zonation of the weathering rind, therefore facilitating the enlargement of the mineral-ore base of the Hannivsk deposit and the Kryvyi Rih Basin in general for further extraction and beneficiation of hematite quartzites.

Published: October 2019

Background: Indicators showing levels of nutritional status in children are often regarded as representative of the health and general well-being of a society at large. Malnutrition stands as a consequence of several key social and economic factors such as lack of education, inadequate health care services and ill-informed cultural behaviors. In order to holistically address the issues surrounding malnutrition, a comprehensive understanding of the multi-dimensional complexities at play in society is crucial. Objective was to identify determinants of severe acute malnutrition among children with severe acute malnutrition under 5 years (between 6 months to 60 months) of age. Methods: A cross sectional study design involving 64 patients with severe acute malnutrition between 6 to 60 month of age was employed to identify the risk factors of severe acute malnutrition among children admitted in pediatric wards and nutritional rehabilitation centers, Civil hospital Ahmedabad, from April 2018 to march 2019. A detailed history of all the patients were taken and data collected using structured interviewer-administered questionnaire.Results: Thus, from the above study, it is clear that age of the child <2 years, female gender, bigger family size, poverty, illiteracy in mother, poor feeding practices, improper complementary feed introduction, poor nutritional status of mother whose child were breastfed, acute or chronic illness in child and narrow birth spacing were the chief determinants of SAM in under five children.Conclusions: Socio demographic characters, nutrition and child caring practices, infection and other childhood illness as well as obstetric history of mother are important determinants of severe acute malnutrition in children under five years of age. As a result, collaborative efforts should be organized to improve promotion of better child caring practices through appropriate age specific child and maternal feeding practices, prevention and early treatment of acute childhood illnesses and promotion of family planning.

Published: October 2019

Background: Developmental disabilities occur in approximately 5-10% of the childhood population. The paucity of data regarding the burden and risk factors slows down the programs and policymaking actions for these highly prevalent conditions in developing countries.Methods: A retrospective review of records of 264 children below 12 years referred to CGC of a Tertiary Care Hospital from November 2016 to December 2018 was done. Data was analysed using SPSS software and is described in terms of frequency and mean. Results: 264 new cases that were referred to the CGC were enrolled. The mean age of referral was 2.54 yrs. (±1.00) with M: F ratio being 1.4:1. In religion, Hindu predominance (56.4%) was found.76.5% hailed from urban area. 39% of all cases showed Consanguinity.37% belonged to Class IV(Upper Lower) and 89% had chronic malnutrition. 46.2% of cases had NICU stay of which perinatal asphyxia(PA) was found in 40%.Majority of children (45.7%) had Global developmental delay (GDD)/Mental Retardation (MR), 37.7% had various forms of CP, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) was seen in 13%, 3.4% had Autism, 4.5% had specific language disorder, Learning disability was seen in 2.7% and only 2.7% had Isolated motor delay.Conclusions: Early Intervention services for children lag behind in developing countries and the proportion of children referred to CGC with severe disabling conditions is high. This study provides baseline data for further planning of services and interventions for these children in Maharashtra.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF SCAPULA AND SUPRASPINATUS TENDONITIS
Authors: Gönen Aydın Canan 
Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE: Tendonitis is one of the most frequent
shoulder lesions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of the
radiological parameters including critical shoulder angle (CSA), glenoid
inclination (GI) and acromion index (AI) with supraspinatus tendonitis.MATERIALS AND METHODS
: Seventy-four patients [47 men, 27 women, mean age 29±5.2
(range 18-40)] were included in the study. Two groups were formed as Group I
(n=33) and Group II (n=41) according to supraspinatus tendon intensity revealed
by shoulder magnetic resonance images. Critical shoulder angle, glenoid
inclination and acromion index
parameters were measured on shoulder radiographs obtained in neutral position.
The relationship of the radiologic parameters and the presence of supraspinatus
tendonitis was evaluated. RESULTS: The mean CSA was 37.9°, the mean GI was 17.2°, and the mean AI
was 0.8 in Group I. The mean CSA was 38.3°, the mean GI was 17.1°, and the mean
AI was 0.8 in Group II. No statistically significant difference was found between
the groups. The CSA values of the women were statistically significantly higher
than that of the men (p=0.04).

CONCLUSIONS: Higher CSA values are found to be
associated with the risk of rotator cuff tear and lower CSA values with
osteoarthritis. Higher angles are associated with increased risk of supraspinatus
tendonitis tear. Supraspinatus tendonitis is not associated with the
morphometric parameters including CSA, AI and GI. New morphometric parameters
should be identified and their relation with supraspinatus tendonitis should be
investigated for early diagnosis.
Ônus municipal, bônus federal: a crise das finanças públicas, cultura e direito da assistência social em Porto Alegre/RS
Authors: De Lima Mario Jaime Gomes 
Published: October 2019

A Assistência Social é um direito, mesmo que ainda mantenha um constante conflito com uma cultura conservadora, que a enxerga como um instrumento clientelista e assistencialista, de dever do Estado. Logo, a Assistência Social tornou-se um direito da sociedade brasileira, a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988. Está estruturada pelo Sistema Único de Assistência Social, que possui uma gestão com participação social e um Fundo Nacional de Assistência Social, que de forma transversal realiza a implementação e execução dessas políticas entre a União, os Estados e os Municípios. As capitais brasileiras são os municípios que recebem valores insuficientes da União para a execução da Assistência Social. No caso de Porto Alegre, capital do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, 94,91% destas políticas são financiadas com recursos livres do Tesouro Municipal. Atualmente, Porto Alegre passa por sucessivos déficits no Tesouro Municipal, o que traz dificuldades no financiamento dos bens e serviços públicos, especialmente da Assistência Social, que tem um comportamento crescente tanto nos atendimento de beneficiários, quanto nos recursos dispendidos para seu financiamento. O objetivo do artigo foi observar a relação do financiamento da Assistência Social com a crise das finanças públicas municipais de Porto Alegre, onde surgiram elementos suficientes para observar que a Assistência Social é um direito à sociedade brasileira, mediante um bônus para União e um ônus para os Municípios, diante da restrição orçamentária das finanças públicas destes últimos, especialmente, em Porto Alegre. Isso exigirá a melhoria na qualidade e na eficiência dos limitados recursos livres do Tesouro Municipal.

Algunos problemas de métrica griega: ritmo, pies, metros
Authors: Galaz Mariateresa 
Published: October 2019

La métrica, como parte del arte de la poesía es, por así decirlo, una ciencia (ἐπιστήμη) o un sistema (τέχνη) por medio del cual conocemos los principios de la versificación. Según Maas, en efecto, uno es el arte de la métrica, como medio de imponer un patrón regular al ritmo natural del lenguaje en una obra literaria, por lo que sugiere mejor el nombre de "rítmica", y otra distinta es la ciencia métrica, de la que afirma que "is the theory of the art of metric, and is therefore part of the study of poetry, as is, for example, the theory of poetic style. It is based on the phonetic values of the language, and is closely connected with the theory of rhythm in music and dancing".

Authors: García Pérez David 
Published: October 2019

Las profesoras Maglia y Cabrero han analizado en este libro el sentido de la decisión que el Áyax sofócleo debe tomar en la edificación de su destino. Para las autoras, la tragedia de este héroe se enmarca en “el enfrentamiento de la antigua concepción heroica, aristocrática y gentilicia del mundo con el nuevo movimiento racionalista sofístico” (p. 8). El razonamiento en torno a la metamorfosis que va del héroe épico al héroe trágico, sirve de base para apuntalar el análisis semiótico que persiguen Maglia y Cabrero a lo largo de su libro (pp. 7-10); en especial, han puesto mayor interés en la areté y su cambio de significado, marcado por el camino trazado desde Homero hasta el espacio de la tragedia (s. V a. C.).

Le prospettive cui allude il titolo di questa raccolta sono quelle emerse nel corso del “Première rencontre aristotélicienne”, svoltosi —tra il 21 e il 24 ottobre 1999— presso l’università di Provence, ad Aix-en-Provence; simposio aristotelico che ha registrato gli intervente di alcuni dei maggiori specialisti di area neolatina. Uno degli elementi di interesse dell’opera è proprio la posibilita di mettere a confronto letture del testo aristotelico da ritenersi, se non alternative, almeno orientate da sensibilità diverse da quelle proposte da studiosi di area anglosassone (Owen, Lloyd, Burnyeat, Lear, Lewis, Bostock), costantemente tenuti presente e richiamati nelle analisi. È in questo senso significativo che la raccolta si apra e si chiuda con gli interventi di due dei massimi aristotelisti, Aubenque e Berti, nel primo caso per focalizzare un aspetto metodologico fondamentale (la funzione della aporia) —intorno al quale ampio è stato il dibattito tra le due sponde dell’Atlantico a partire dagli anni Sessanta—, nel secondo per ribadire l’attualità della Metafisica e del suo approccio rispettoso della varietà, molteplicità e problematicità del reale.
Omero e l’origine della teoria degli stili
Authors: Dentice di Accadia Stefano 
Published: October 2019

La presente comunicazione intende esaminare alcuni commenti formulati dai critici antichi relativamente ai vv. 203-224 del III libro dell’Iliade, dove Antenore ricorda Menelao e Odisseo, giunti a Troia in ambasceria prima dello scoppio della guerra, e ne descrive i diversi stili oratorii. Dall’esame emergono tre considerazioni: A. alcuni personaggi omerici (non solo Odisseo e Menelao, ma anche Nestore e lo stesso Antenore) erano individuati dai critici antichi come veri e propri oratori. B. Omero era considerato conoscitore, se non inventor, di tre diversi modi di pronunciare discorsi, di tre stili, che successivamente saranno emulati, ma —si badi bene— non inventati o rifondati, da Lisia, Isocrate e Demostene. I commentatori antichi individuarono in questo passo le origini di quella teoria degli stili che avrà tanta fortuna nel mondo antico. C. i commentatori antichi non esitarono ad impiegare termini tecnici, parte del dominio della scienza oratoria codificata, riferendoli a personaggi di un poema antico come l’Iliade. Si può pertanto affermare che Omero era considerato nell’Antichità il pater se non della retorica come dottrina sistematica, certamente dell’oratoria come pratica consolidata. Inoltre si può riconoscere nelle parole di Antenore una principio di riflessione teorica sugli stili.
Heráclito: el Despierto
Authors: Martínez Millán Hernán 
Published: October 2019

En este artículo me propongo atenuar el juicio que hiciera Eggers Lan sobre Heráclito, a quien se imagina interesado en cuestiones ético-metafísicas. La inflexión consiste en imaginar al Efesio intentando responder a las cuestiones religiosas y a las cuestiones cosmológicas, que en la Grecia arcaica eran las dos caras de una misma moneda. Es decir, las implicaciones recíprocas de las cues- tiones ético-religiosas y cosmológicas imposibilitaban —muy seguramente— un tratamiento unilateral. Esta lectura unilateral, que trasluce los debates epistemológi- cos de la atmósfera espiritual de Eggers Lan, no deja ver las relaciones intrincadas entre religión y cosmología en los fragmentos de Heráclito.
Intelectuales y poetas en la era presocrática: diálogo y polémica
Authors: Álvarez Salas Omar 
Published: October 2019

En este trabajo me propongo mostrar cómo la interacción ideológicadocumentada en la época arcaica de Grecia se rigió por una dinámica de tipo competitivo que involucró a representantes del saber poético tradicional y a los practicantes de un tipo recién surgido de investigación laica sobre la naturaleza y las causas de los fenómenos, esto es, a los pensadores presocráticos. Según se muestra aquí, la búsqueda de la excelencia en todo campo en competencia con los demás era una tendencia natural del hombre helénico (compárese Homero Il. VI, 208) que adquirió carácter oficial en los ἀγῶνες (concursos atléticos, literarios, artísticosy oratorios) y que habría fungido como mecanismo de afirmación personal y profesionaltambién en actividades eminentemente intelectuales como la ciencia y lafilosofía. Ilustraré en particular cómo estos expertos en un nuevo campo de conocimiento—de los cuales me referiré aquí a Jenófanes, Parménides, Empédocles y Heráclito— se habrían enfrentado mutuamente y con los sabios tradicionales (sobretodo con poetas como Homero, Hesíodo y Simónides) en una disputa real o virtual no sólo para persuadir al auditorio sobre la superioridad cualitativa de su modelo explicativo (la cual lo haría objetivamente preferible a los otros), sino sobre todo para descalificar la validez de sus adversarios junto con sus proyectos intelectuales. Se subrayará asimismo cómo dicha polémica involucró no sólo a especialistas ensentido estricto, sino también a dilettanti a quienes nuestros esquemas mentalesmodernos nos llevarían a excluir como interlocutores calificados o pertinentes en el debate especializado, aun cuando estaban igualmente empeñados en hacer quelas declaraciones doctrinales de sus adversarios aparecieran como erróneas, más aún como mentiras flagrantes.
