New GMPEs for the Sagami Bay Region in Japan for Moderate Magnitude Events with Emphasis on Differences on Site Amplifications at the Seafloor and Land Seismic Stations of K-NET
Authors: Hu Jinjun , Tan Jingyang , Zhao John X. 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACTGround-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for the horizontal and vertical spectral accelerations (SAs) from the offshore area off the Sagami Bay is presented in this article. To compare the ground motions on the seafloor with those at onshore sites, an onshore GMPE was derived for the onshore stations adjacent to the offshore sites and including those in the Kanto basin sites. The offshore dataset includes 738 three-component records, and the onshore dataset includes 3775 records; both datasets are derived from the same set of 233 earthquakes selected for this study. The local site conditions of the offshore sites are investigated by implementing the mean horizontal-to-vertical response spectral ratios because soil condition data are unavailable. Individual site correction terms are used for the offshore sites due to differences among the site conditions, whereas site-class terms are used for the onshore sites based on the travel-time-averaged shear-wave velocity to 30 m (VS30). A comparison between the offshore and onshore models shows that the horizontal SAs for the whole periods and vertical SAs for moderate and long periods of the offshore motions are considerably larger than those of the onshore motions due to the deep deposition layer comprising soft sediment blanketing the seafloor; the vertical SAs of the offshore motions are slightly smaller than those of the onshore motions at short spectral periods. The inconsistency of the vertical motions at short periods may be due to the combined effect of the deposition layer and water layer. However, the vertical site amplification for short periods is independent of the water depth, and the reason of high-frequency deficiency in vertical components need further investigation.

The study was conducted to find out the topographic changes of disc, macular thickness, visual field, and intra-ocular pressure (IOP) after trabeculectomy in different age and sex using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machine, automated perimeter and Goldman applanation tonometer respectively.It was a prospective, interventional case-series conducted at the glaucoma clinic at Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Kolkata from March 2010 to August 2011. Patients of primary open angle glaucoma who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The trabeculectomy surgeries were done by a single surgeon. The disc changes, macular thickness, IOP and visual field changes were measured before and after trabeculectomy. Preoperative OCT images of disc and macula, visual field testing by Humphrey automated perimeter and IOP by Goldman applanation tonometry were done/within 3 months prior to surgery and same investigations had been done postoperatively within 2 to 3 months after surgery. Data was collected in a standard data collection form and analysis was done by paired t-test.Significant visual field (mean deviation-MD & pattern standard deviation-PSD in decibel) changes were seen but the nerve fiber thickness in the disc and macula were not increased. Significant reduction of IOP was found after trabeculectomy. Significant visual field (MD& PSD) changes were found after trabeculectomy in early glaucoma patients but disc and macular changes were found to be insignificant.
Factors associated with late presentation of cataract in rural and urban patients: A cross-sectional study in Maharashtra

Published: June 2020

: The prevalence of cataractis increasing. Delayed presentation with advanced cataract is quite common. There is scarcity of local data about the proportion of late presenters of cataract and the associated factors.: To assess the proportion of late presenters of cataract and determine factors associated with late presentation in rural and urban patients.: The study was conducted over three months in a medical college hospital on 422 patients. Their sociodemographic details were collected. A structured questionnaire was administered to understand the factors associated with delayed presentation. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.: There were 430/1248 (34.4%) “late presenters” of whom 422 provided consent. There were 212 (50.2%) male patients. The mean age of patients was 60.9 ± 9.5 years. Majority, that is, 67.8% patients came from rural areas. The mean distance travelled by patients was 53 km (minimum 2 and maximum 200 km). The commonest reason for late presentation was lack of awareness [26.1%] followed by poor financial condition [19.9%] and lack of family support [12.8%]. The other reasons were inability to forego daily wages [10.9%], good vision in the contralateral eye [10%], acceptance of poor vision as part of ageing [7.6%], difficulty in reaching hospital [5.2%], systematic illness [5.2%] and fear of surgery [2.4%]. When reasons for delayed presentation were compared between rural and urban patients, it was found that significantly greater proportion of rural patients lacked awareness, were concerned about losing their daily wages and gave poverty as the reason and also pulled on with good vision in the contralateral eye or had accepted diminished vision as an integral part of ageing.: The most commonly quoted reason for late presentation of cataract was lack of awareness, especially in the illiterate rural patients which can be addressed through repeated counselling sessions by healthcare providers.
Study of prevelance of retinopathy of prematurity in tertiary care hospital

Published: June 2020

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder seen in preterm babies. ROP is a potentially preventable cause of irreversible total blindness in premature infants. Recent advancements in neonatal care have led to an increase in the survival of low birth weight infants, resulting in a rise of ROP incidence. Globally, ROP is estimated to affect more than 50,000 infants annually. In India, every year, 500 children are estimated to become blind from ROP. If left untreated it can be a third epidemic which can be prevented by appropriate screening.To find the prevalence of ROP To identify the risk factors for ROP.Reterospective study analysis was done for 2.5 years at tertiary care hospital where after taking permission from institutional ethical committee 293 babies were enrolled in this study who were referred from paediatrician as per the standard guidelines of “Rashtriya Bal swasthya karyakram”. All babies were dilated with combination drops of Tropicamide 0.8%w/v and Phenylephrine hydrochloride 5%w/v. All the high risk term babies and preterm babies(&#60;32 weeks) and &#60;2 kg weight were examined 4 weeks postpartum and babies with &#60;=28 weeks were examined at 2 weeks postpartum by Viteroretinal surgeon till the retina matures. Grading was done by following International classification of ROP. All babies retina were examined up to Ora Serrata, Collected data were analysed by Chi-square test.Among 293 babies Prevalence of ROP identified was 32%. 93 babies were very low birth weight (31.7%)(&#60;1.0 kg BW), 35 babies were low birth weight (46%)(1 to 2.5 kg BW) as per the standard guidelines of World Health Organization for birth weight. ROP was found in 52 out of 93 very low birth weight babies(55%) and 40 out of 135 low birth weight babies(29%). P value was less than 0.0001 which was statistically significant. ROP was found in 80 Out of 157 pre term babies (50%). Logistic regression was performed to ascertain the effect of birth weight and gestational age.ROP occurs mostly in extreme low birth weight and preterm infants. In middle-income-countries like India, high rates of premature birth, and increasing resuscitation of premature infants, often with suboptimal standards of care, have resulted in a third epidemic of ROP. It is essential to screen premature babies and babies with low birth weight. Awareness regarding ROP screening is a key factor for it’s prevention.

To study the relationship of various stages of Diabetic Retinopathy with severity of Diabetic Nephropathy and Diabetic Neuropathy. 120 patients of type 2 diabetic patients were screened for Retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. Investigations like Fundus examination with Indirect Ophthalmoscopy, CBC, RBS, RFT – S. Creatinine, S. Urea; Urine Samples – Microalbuminuria; HbA1c; Lipid Profile and Creatinine clearance, Vitamin B12, Nerve conduction Velocity Test and Clinical Reflex Test were performed on the patients with. In present study we have found significant correlation between Retinopathy, Diabetic Nephropathy and Neuropathy. Severity of neuropathy and nephropathy increased with increase in the grade of retinopathy. In our study the incidence of neuropathy and nephropathy also increases as severity of diabetic retinopathy increases. Thus, all diabetic patients must be screened for retinopathy as it can help determine the presence of other organ involvement.
Human Drama in Aristotle’s Poetics

Ludzki dramat w Poetyce Arystotelesa
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie dramatu jako wydarzenia ludzkiego w Poetyce Arystotelesa. Zdaniem autora, odwrócenie mechanizmu naśladownictwa (mimesis), używanego przez Arystotelesa do tworzenia tragedii, pozwala potraktować Poetykę przede wszystkim jako nośnik wiedzy o dramacie człowieka jako bohatera tragedii. Uczucia litości i trwogi, których powinna dostarczyć tragedia, ujawniają, co jest dramatem człowieka, a zarazem co sprawia, że człowiek może doświadczyć dramatu. Dramat ten wynika nie tylko z siły i nieuchronności zła, na które natrafia człowiek w swoim życiu, ale także jest następstwem jego niedoskonałości. Przejawia się ona w podatności człowieka na błąd, nietrwałości i niepewności jego sytuacji oraz podatności na egzystencjalne zranienie.
Klasyczna argumentacja a persona w inskrypcjach nagrobnych czasów nowożytnych
Authors: Nowaszczuk Jarosław 
Published: June 2020

Starożytni znawcy dziedziny retoryki formułowali katalogi loci a persona, czyli wypisy okoliczności (circumstantiae) albo atrybutów (attributa) dotyczących opisywanej postaci. Niektórzy z nich, jak Marek Fabiusz Kwintylian, doceniali znaczenie tych loci jako sedes argumentorum, czyli źródeł, którymi można posłużyć się w zakresie dowodzenia. Kategorie, które wyszczególnili antyczni uczeni są w wysokim stopniu zbieżne z tymi, jakie w charakterystyce postaci zmarłego, a przez to w strukturze inskrypcji nagrobnych wyodrębnili nowożytni teoretycy tej formy pisarstwa, jak choćby Thomas Correa, Jacobus Pontanus, Gaetano Felice Verani. Jak przekonuje wywód Christiana Weise w dziele De poesi hodiernorum politicorum sive de argutis inscriptionibus libri II, koincydencja nie jest przypadkowa. Uczony stwierdza wprost, że w tworzeniu napisów nagrobnych można wykorzystać topikę retoryczną z zakresu przyporządkowanego osobie (a persona). Twierdzenia badaczy gatunku znajdują potwierdzenia w zachowanym dorobku epigraficznym. Wysiłki pisarzy zmierzały ku temu, by jak najzwięźlej odnieść się do maksymalnej ilości loci a persona. Jak pokazano na przykładzie, tendencja do amplifikacji poprzez congeries, nie wiązała się z wielkością płyty nagrobnej i kosztami jej wykonania, lecz wynikała z upodobań estetycznych epoki.
Zagadnienie periodyzacji literatury łacińskiej doby republiki rzymskiej
Authors: Witczak Krzysztof Tomasz 
Published: June 2020

Artykuł podejmuje problem periodyzacji literatury rzymskiej doby republiki. Autor uznaje tradycyjny podział na 3 okresy literackie: (1) archaiczny; (2) cyceroński; (3) augustowski za częściowo poprawny. Bazując na teorii periodyzacji literatury, opracowanej przez prof. Juliana Krzyżanowskiego (1937), która zakłada cykliczność zjawisk w dziedzinie kultury i literatury, autor proponuje wydzielenie czterech kolejnych faz historycznoliterackich: [1] Okres archaiczny albo „hellenizujący” (240-160 r. przed Chr.); [2] Okres późnoarchaiczny albo „reakcyjny” (160-81 r. przed Chr.); [3] Okres cyceroński (81-31 r. p.n.e.); [4] Okres augustowski (31 r. przed Chr. – 14 r. po Chr.). Poszczególne okresy literackie stoją w wyraźnej opozycji do faz poprzedzających i po nich następujących. Występują w nich dominujące prądy i zjawiska literackie, odmienne niż w fazie poprzedzającej i bezpośrednio po nich następującej. Biorąc pod uwagę kryterium wpływów obcych (helleńskich) i rodzimości, możemy łatwo stwierdzić, że okresy nieparzyste [1, 3] mają charakter wyraźnie prohelleński, co przejawia się między innymi w tłumaczeniu bądź adaptacji najważniejszych dzieł literatury greckiej, wykorzystaniu istniejących w Grecji gatunków literackich, przyswojeniu obcych struktur metrycznych, motywów literackich lub prądów filozoficznych, podczas gdy w okresach parzystych [2, 4] twórcy literatury łacińskiej wprowadzają rodzime wątki i czysto rzymskie motywy, a także rozwijają własne gatunki literackie (np. satyrę, rzymską elegię miłosną).

Com o presente artigo pretende-se apresentar de forma concisa o processo de ensino e aprendizagem da leitura e escrita por parte dos professores e alunos em uma das escolas do ensino primário do Sumbe. O artigo centrou-se no relato de professores e alunos deste sistema de ensino, mediante os resultados das respostas dadas a um questionário. Além da aplicação do questionário, utilizou-se os seguintes métodos: a observação direta das aulas e a análise dos textos produzidos pelos alunos. Esta atividade permitiu levantar a situação real da vida quotidiana dos professores e dos alunos no trabalho com o ensino da leitura e escrita. As respostas obtidas, por meio da análise do questionário aplicado, observação de aulas e textos produzidos pelos alunos mostram que alguns alunos têm dificuldades na aquisição da leitura e da escrita. Isto tem a ver com certas dificuldades enfrentadas pelos professores e alunos tais como: quanto aos professores, os baixos salário que os desmotivam, as péssimas condições de trabalho em salas de aula, a falta de transporte a tempo e hora, visto que, alguns professores vivem distante do local de serviço. Quanto aos alunos, a escassez de livros didáticos que incentivem a leitura e a escrita, a falta de condições em salas de aulas, visto que, as salas são pequenas e com elevado número de alunos e as péssimas condições sociais.
Uma ponte entre o rock e a literatura
Authors: Antunes Angie Miranda , Fiorese Furtado Fernando Fábio 
Published: June 2020

A experiência da guerra que tanto nos empobrece (Walter Benjamin, 1994), quando a relatada por Ernest Hemingway em For whom the bell tolls (1940) nos coloca em imanência. O norte-americano que está na Espanha a ponto de destruir uma ponte, acaba por fazer ligações profundas consigo e com o “outro”. O título do romance, retirado do sermão/poema do poeta inglês John Donne, diz que nenhum um homem está só, e que morremos um pouco cada vez que o sino anuncia uma morte. A mensagem de ambos os textos clama para deslocarmos do lugar mais difícil: de nós mesmos. Repetida por diversas vezes ao longo do século passado, interessa-nos especialmente a versão de Raul Seixas, quando o cantor brasileiro disserta também a partir da presença da morte na música e álbum homônimos: Por quem os sinos dobram (1979), clamando por “ciência” e “coragem” em nossos atos. Com auxílio de A troca simbólica e a morte, de Jean Baudrillard (1996) e “A obra de arte na era da reprodutibilidade técnica” (1994), de Walter Benjamin pensamos nesse “eu” que clama por viver, mas está sempre à espreita da morte. Palavras-chave: Literatura; Morte; Cultura rock.
Uderstanding the Concept of Ecosufism: Harmony and the Relationship of God, Nature and Humans in Mystical Philosophy of Ibn Arabi
Authors: Rozi Syafwan 
Published: June 2020

This paper examines Ibn Arabi's concept of ecosufism, a new philosophical foundation and paradigma in understanding nature, domination and control over natural resources amidst of global environmental crisis, caused by anthropocentric exploitation towards nature. This ecosufism is related to the constellation of religious orientation amongst monotheism, polytheism and pantheism and the relationship between God and nature in response to the environmental problem. This paper explains Ibn Arabi's philosophical thought on ecology and examines how this notion is based on his Sufi view on the relationship of God, humans and nature. This study shows that Ibn Arabi’s concept of waḥdat al-wujūd (unification of being) and al-insān al-kāmil (perfect human) generate his perception of nature preservation. These two fundamental concepts are relevant to be used as a paradigm for promoting ecosufism, which consider nature as God's manifestation. A perfect human is the one who could realize such a perspective. Protecting nature is necessary because of its position as God's manifestation.
Les ruminants domestiques de la Caraïbe : le point sur les ressources génétiques et leur exploitation
Authors: NAVES M. , ALEXANDRE G. , LEIMBACHER F. , MANDONNET N. , MENENDEZ-BUXADERA A. 
Published: June 2020

La Caraïbe a été peuplée par les espèces de ruminants domestiques à partir du XV ème siècle. Après les premières introductions de bétail ibérique, des apports variés ont occasionné de nombreux métissages. Ils ont pu être plus ou moins importants, allant jusqu’à l’utilisation de croisements systématiques se substituant aux populations Créoles d’origine. Des populations locales variées et originales se maintiennent, malgré des apports récents liés aux échanges commerciaux et aux progrès des méthodes modernes de reproduction.
Ces populations animales contribuent fortement à l’élevage de la région, principalement dans des systèmes de production traditionnels ou familiaux où leurs qualités d’adaptation sont appréciées. Malgré leur faible spécialisation, elles révèlent également des aptitudes intéressantes de production. Elles constituent également un matériel biologique modèle pour l’étude de caractères d’adaptation, comme la résistance à certaines pathologies tropicales.
Peu d’actions ont été mises en œuvre pour la conservation ou la gestion des populations locales dans la Caraïbe. Elles concernent principalement les Grandes Antilles, où quelques troupeaux d’animaux Créoles subsistent, mais aussi des races synthétiques de constitution plus récente et fortement organisées. Dans les Petites Antilles, seuls les départements français proposent une gestion des races locales in situ, avec des programmes de sélection concertés.
Avec des effectifs réduits et dispersés, la Caraïbe rassemble de nombreuses ressources génétiques locales méconnues et peu exploitées. Des travaux récents relancent l’intérêt pour ces ressources, au sein de systèmes d’élevage durables. La mise en place d’une stratégie globale de gestion de ces populations dans la Caraïbe et l’Amérique Latine devrait renforcer les efforts des différents partenaires dans ce sens.
