POPULISMO & PRECONCEITO: CLARIFICANDO QUESTÕES IDEOLÓGICAS E JURÍDICAS DE UM VÍRUS POLÍTICO, EM DIÁLOGO COM UMBERTO ECO
Authors: Cunha Paulo Ferreira da 
Published: November 2020

Objetivo: O objetivo do presente artigo é fazer uma arqueologia do sentido profundo do populismo e entidades a ele associadas, procurando identificar alguns traços mais ou menos perenes dessa realidade psicológica, social, e política, com importantes consequências jurídicas.Metodologia: Este trabalho foi desenvolvido por meios dedutivos, com base em aportações bibliográficas pós-disciplinares (no sentido de Gonçal Mayos e sua escola) oriunda essencialmente dos campos da Psicologia Social e da Sociologia, da História das Ideias Políticas, etc., visando de forma estruturada carrear os conhecimentos multiplamente centrados epistemicamente para a indagação. Seguiu-se explicitamente a contribuição do semiólogo italiano do maior renome internacional Umberto Eco.Resultados: Apesar de haver juristas que consideram tabu temas que possam ser mais polémicos politicamente, e talvez mais ainda social e civilizacionalmente, remetendo-se a uma “castidade metódica” tecnicista, quer a questão do preconceito quer a do fascismo são, não apenas desafios sócio-políticos inafastáveis nos tempos que correm, como colocam objetivamente questões às quais os juristas se não podem furtar. Questões de efetivação real de Direitos Humanos e direitos tout court, e questões da própria sobrevivência dos Estados democráticos de direito, ou seja, questões absolutamente constitucionais e das mais importantes. Concluiu-se, preliminarmente, que é fundamental discutir preconceito e fascismo.Contribuições: Neste artigo, em diálogo com Umberto Eco, um autor cujas teses estão agora internacionalmente a ser revisitadas, avançamos uma análise que parte da tese de que o fascismo é a apoteose dos preconceitos clássicos, antigos, tradicionais. E que obviamente ele não é apenas uma ideologia historicamente situada, ou somente um período localizado na história da Italiano do séc. XX. Se nos repugna dizer que ele é eterno, é certo que tem avatares que sempre retornam. Há um “eterno retorno” do fascismo, com vestes diferentes, mas com traços comuns. E seria estulto e suicida que as democracias, e os juristas democratas não vissem que esse é, aqui e agora, o grande perigo que ameaça o nosso comum modo de viver e progredir: o Estado Constitucional. Em cada um dos tópicos que retomam a perspetiva de Eco se avançam contribuições matizadoras ou aprofundamentos.
DEVILS: a tool for the visualization of large datasets with a high dynamic range

Published: November 2020

The number of grey values that can be displayed on monitors and be processed by the human eye is smaller than the dynamic range of image-based sensors. This makes the visualization of such data a challenge, especially with specimens where small dim structures are equally important as large bright ones, or whenever variations in intensity, such as non-homogeneous staining efficiencies or light depth penetration, becomes an issue. While simple intensity display mappings are easily possible, these fail to provide a one-shot observation that can display objects of varying intensities. In order to facilitate the visualization-based analysis of large volumetric datasets, we developed an easy-to-use ImageJ plugin enabling the compressed display of features within several magnitudes of intensities. The Display Enhancement for Visual Inspection of Large Stacks plugin (DEVILS) homogenizes the intensities by using a combination of local and global pixel operations to allow for high and low intensities to be visible simultaneously to the human eye. The plugin is based on a single, intuitively understandable parameter, features a preview mode, and uses parallelization to process multiple image planes. As output, the plugin is capable of producing a BigDataViewer-compatible dataset for fast visualization. We demonstrate the utility of the plugin for large volumetric image data.

Published: November 2020

Background: Geographic information science (GIS) has established itself as a distinct domain and incredibly useful whenever the research is related to geography, space, and other spatio-temporal dimensions. However, the scientific landscape on the integration of GIS in COVID-related studies is largely unknown. In this systematic review, we assessed the current evidence on the implementation of GIS and other geospatial tools in the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We systematically retrieved and reviewed 79 research articles that either directly used GIS or other geospatial tools as part of their analysis. We grouped the identified papers under six broader thematic groups based on the objectives and research questions of the study- environmental, socio-economic, and cultural, public health, spatial transmission, computer-aided modeling, and data mining. Results: The interdisciplinary nature of how geographic and spatial analysis was used in COVID-19 research was notable among the reviewed papers. Although GIS has substantial potential in planning to slow down the spread, surveillance, contact tracing, and identify the trends and hotspots of breakdowns, it was not employed as much as it could have been. This review not only provided an overarching view on how GIS has been used in COVID-19 research so far but also concluded that this geospatial analysis and technologies could be used in future public health emergencies along with statistical and other socio-economic modeling techniques. Our systematic review also provides how both scientific communities and policymakers could leverage GIS to extract useful information to make an informed decision in the future. Conclusions: Despite the limited applications of GIS in identifying the nature and spatio-temporal pattern of this raging pandemic, there are opportunities to utilize these techniques in handling the pandemic. The use of spatial analysis and GIS could significantly improve how we understand the pandemic as well as address the underserviced demographic groups and communities.

Background: Strengthening capacity for public health research is essential to the generation of high-quality, reliable scientific data. This study focuses on a research capacity strengthening project supporting seven test facilities in Africa conducting studies on mosquito vector control products towards Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) certification. It captures the primary effects of the project on each facility’s research capacity, the secondary effects at the individual and institutional level, and the ripple effects that extend beyond the research system. The relationships between effects at different levels are identified and compared to an existing framework for the evaluation of research capacity strengthening initiatives. Methods: To capture the views of individuals engaged in the project at all levels within each facility, a maximum-variation purposive sampling strategy was used. This allowed triangulation between different data sources. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals in three facilities and a combination of email and remote video-call interviews were conducted with individuals at two further facilities. Results: We found that, despite a focus of the GLP certification project at the institutional level, the project had effects also at individual (including enhanced motivation, furtherment of careers) and national/international levels (including development of regional expertise). In addition, we detected ripple effects of the project which extended beyond the research system. Conclusion: This study shows that research capacity strengthening interventions that are focussed on institutional level goals require actions also at individual and national/international levels. The effects of engagement at all three levels can be amplified by collaborative actions at the national/international level. These findings show that research capacity strengthening projects must develop plans that address and evaluate impact at all three levels. Capturing the ripple effects of investment in research capacity strengthening should also be planned for from the beginning of projects to support further engagement of all stakeholders.

El marco jurídico argentino del ordenamiento territorial: ¿propicia un desarrollo sostenible?
Authors: Gimelfarb Leonor Selena 
Published: November 2020

Este trabajo indaga cómo se instrumenta jurídicamente la consecución del desarrollo sostenible mediante el ordenamiento territorial. Su objetivo fue contribuir al conocimiento del marco jurídico argentino del ordenamiento territorial, examinando si propicia un desarrollo sostenible. Se realizó un estudio de caso, relevando y analizando las 31 leyes que conforman este marco jurídico. Se elaboró un marco conceptual que profundiza en la vinculación entre ordenamiento territorial y desarrollo sostenible, a partir del cual se formularon diez dimensiones de análisis y 27 indicadores. Su aplicación a las leyes relevadas permitió identificar normas que propician un desarrollo sostenible. El análisis mostró que el marco jurídico vigente contiene un número reducido de tales normas y no pueden considerarse un instrumento adecuado de desarrollo sostenible. El trabajo concluye con la recomendación de desarrollar los lineamientos sobre ordenamiento ambiental del territorio, establecidos por la Ley General del Ambiente, mediante una ley sectorial de presupuestos mínimos.

Magnification devices improve direct and indirect vision and precision being significantly higher in microscope use compared to the loupes. Dental loupes are the most commonly used devices for magnification, due to the more affordable prices and the ease of use without major changes in the working protocol and ergonomics. Loupes primary benefits reported refers to ergonomics and posture, restoration evaluation/detection and overall treatment quality. There are some disadvantages that limit the use of loupes among dentists: lack of fixed position (fine movements of the dentist's head disturb the image of the magnified operating field); the need to change the loupes to achieve different magnification. On the contrary, the use of a dental microscope require minimum adjustment and effort so as to reduce postural deviation while working.
It has been more than 30 years since dental practitioners raised the issue of using dental operating microscopes (DOM) in restorative dentistry, identifying the benefits of magnification in diagnosis and treatment steps. The growth is evident in recent years, maybe because of the familiarity of dentists with dental microscopes which have already become implicit endowment for endodontic specialists. Fiber optic lighting is the key factor that complements the magnification offered by the microscope so that treatments can now be performed under increased safety conditions and in conditions of significantly higher quality than in the past.
Since the beginning of the 2000s the principles of minimally invasive dentistry have been widely promoted in dentistry. These principles are major impetus for the use of microscope by dentists. Working with magnification leads dentists to be more conservative with dental tissues.

Published: November 2020

Background. The aim of the study was to present the PET/CT imaging features in a small series of asymptomatic patients with known cancer pathologies, infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which were incidentally discovered during their monitoring scan of F18-FDG PET/CT.
Methods. We included in our study a number of five cases (3 female and 2 male) out of 478 patients examined by F18-FDG PET/CT between March – April 2020, with confirmed diagnostic of cancer. Four patients had lung damages suggestive for the mentioned viral infection and 1 patient had multiple lung metastases from thyroid cancer. All patients were asymptomatic for acute respiratory disease at the time of examination, being subsequently confirmed for the viral infection by specific PCR analysis.
Results. The asymptomatic positive SARS-CoV-2 cancer patients discovered incidentally in PET/CT F18-FDG represent 0.83% and their imaging characteristics were suggestive for high FDG activity in the lung despite the lack of respiratory symptoms.
Conclusion. The SARS CoV-2 viral infection in asymptomatic cancer patients is a very rare possibility, but represents a challenging scenario both for the differential diagnosis in cancer and also for the epidemiologic context.
Positioning the Writing Centre
Authors: Burke David A. 
Published: November 2020

Implicit in the discussion about the “open” future of the library are questions about the library’s identity in an increasingly digital context and anticipations of change (Anderson et al., 2017). But the “open” future of the library does not need to be a passive future. Much like the traditional library, whose books and reading rooms were positioned between students and faculties, the future library can still occupy a similar liminal space, even as digital access supplants books and librarians do less shushing.
But the future library must actively seek to occupy that space. As a future library service, a writing centre can be positioned to help do so.
This paper draws on the experience of the Academic Writing Centre at the University of Oslo (UiO). As part of the University Library, the Writing Centre is already actively helping to mediate the space between students and instructors. Empowered by its liminal position, the Writing Centre offers tailored, non-hegemonic writing support based on student and faculty needs.
As a best practices presentation, this paper identifies key aspects of the Writing Centre’s operational model to demonstrate how the Writing Centre at UiO has already begun to actively (re)position the University Library in the space between students and faculties. Drawing from Academic Literacy theory (Lillis, 2001; Lea & Street, 1998), this paper characterizes the space between students and instructors in the context of academic writing, emphasizing the aspects of identity formulation germane to the writing process (Ivanič, 1998; Lillis, 2010), as well as the faculties’ mandates to develop discourse literacy. From its liminal position between the faculties and the students, and with an awareness of the nature of the gap between the two, the Writing Centre (as part of the University Library) aims to actively support students and instructors toward each other and spark broader collaboration with the University Library, now and in the future.
On a practical level, this paper discusses successes and challenges for the Academic Writing Centre so far and offers insight into the Writing Centre’s important role in the future library.
Preterm vaginal en caul delivery in a case of severe oligohydramnios with pyelonephritis
Authors: Ghosh Kashmira , Choudhury Arun Paul 
Published: November 2020

En caul deliveries are very rare and are associated with prematurity. Approximately 40 percent of spontaneous premature births are thought to be caused by infection. Preterm along with oligohydramnios can lead to en caul delivery. We report a case of 27-year-old gravida 4 multiparous women with a history of 2 normal vaginal deliveries NSVD and 1 spontaneous abortion, who presented at 32 weeks of gestation in active labour and delivered preterm viable female with an intact placenta contained within the amniotic sac as a unit “en caul.” Since the patient gave a history of lower back pain with burning micturition for 1 month which remained consistent after delivery, ultrasonography whole abdomen was done and bilateral pyelonephritis was diagnosed. However, the baby’s sepsis screen was negative and discharged healthy. We report this case because of its rarity of occurrence and to show that intact amniotic membrane during birth can protect the baby from birth trauma and infections.

Współczesna rodzina imigrantów w Irlandii okiem Polaka
Na kanwie współczesnych przeobrażeń społeczno-gospodarczych, zwłaszcza po przystąpieniu Polski do struktur Unii Europejskiej 1 maja 2004 r., nastąpił gwałtowny odpływ Polaków do krajów unijnych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii. Szacuje się, iż obecnie w Irlandii przebywa około 120 tysięcy obywateli polskich, którzy tworzą tam rodziny, żyją samotnie lub funkcjonują w rodzinach czasowo rozłączonych. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie na podstawie badań pilotażowych: wywiadów swobodnych, istoty współczesnej rodziny migracyjnej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem więzi pomiędzy członkami rodzin, ról społecznych członków rodzin, realizacji funkcji rodzinnych w ramach szeroko ujętej migracji i dostosowania do nowych warunków życia migrantów. Respondenci zostali zapytani o kwestię tradycyjnych oraz nowoczesnych form życia małżeńsko-rodzinnego. Zapytano także o wpływ migracji na rozpad rodzin lub zanik ich tradycyjnych form, zastępując je alternatywnymi.
Znaczenie Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej w zimnowojennych koncepcjach polskiego wychodźstwa na tle potencjału wielkich mocarstw
Authors: Pawlikowicz Leszek , Zapart Robert 
Published: November 2020

Kluczowe dla podjętych rozważań naukowych pozostawało pytanie o niezależność Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej z perspektywy posiadanego przez nią potencjału gospodarczo-militarnego w kontekście oczekiwań środowisk emigracyjnych związanych ze zmianami politycznymi w regionie w następstwie ewentualnego wybuchu III wojny światowej w połowie XX wieku. W świetle przywołanych przez autorów artykułu danych z różnych obszarów badawczych, małe i średnie narody tej części Starego Kontynentu nie miały ówcześnie poważnych przesłanek do obrony swojej niezależności na podstawie narodowych sił zbrojnych, gdyż ich potencjał wojenny nie pozwalał na wymaganą postępem technologicznym (broń nuklearna) ich rozbudowę i utrzymywanie na nowoczesnym poziomie, w odróżnieniu od dwóch wielkich mocarstw, Stanów Zjednoczonych i Związku Radzieckiego i związanych z nimi państw. Gwarancji podmiotowości musiałyby zatem poszukiwać w przyszłości w rozwiązaniach politycznych, w tym przede wszystkim partnerstwie z silniejszym podmiotem podzielającym ich wizję wolności, integracji oraz systemu zbiorowego bezpieczeństwa.
Children’s perceptions of local religious sites in rural central Europe: case studies in the Czech-Polish and Polish-Slovak borderland
Authors: Reeves Daniel , Havlíček Tomáš 
Published: November 2020

This study focuses on the local identities of children living in rural towns of Czechia, Poland and Slovakia. Cognitive maps, drawn by elementary school students in geographically proximate municipalities near international borders, provide a means of investigating the significance of local religious sites in the minds of young people. This research successfully examines everyday interactions between the subjects and their local landscape. It seeks to highlight religious elements of local identities.
The methods employed in this research present a more humanistic and qualitative approach, shedding light on the daily experiences of children in rural settings. Recognizing the inclusion and even the placement and artistic details of a religious site in a child-drawn map is a powerful way to move research “beyond the ‘officially sacred’”. The methods also allow for a blending of both passive – including a religious site in a cognitive map – and active – ranking a religious site among the top three important places – declarations of a religious element within local, territorial identity.
This study demonstrates how children use elements of the local religious landscape in constructing and re-constructing their community identity. The two Slovak municipalities showed the greatest affinity for religious elements among the expressions of local identity (children’s cognitive maps). Poland’s municipalities ranked in the middle and the two Czech municipalities scored lowest in terms of religious sites being considered important to the research participants.
Time, space and the social life new interpretation of cemeteries in the city
Authors: Tobiasz-Lis Paulina 
Published: November 2020

The article reveals the issue of time recorded in the urban space, which determines the specific rhythm, continuity and passing of consecutive generations and their social relations. Presented research results focus on cemeteries and appear to be helpful in better understanding of their identity in the city structure, as well as the factors shaping their perceptions by individual people. Qualitative research methods have been applied, in particular: visual materials (photos) analysis and the semantic field analysis.
It seems that the use of images and narratives opens up new possibilities for human geography, new sources of spatial exploration. The problem undertaken in the article is important both from the cognitive and practical perspective related to the appropriate shaping of the city space – modern, yet at the same time not rooted out of the tradition and identity of a particular place, where people would feel good, being able to find both a reference to the past and to the future.
