Deconstructing Methodist Mythology: The Search for a Usable Postcolonial Ethic
Authors: Reddie Anthony G. 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
This article offers a postcolonial and liberationist hermeneutic for reinterpreting and reassessing Wesleyan and Methodist history. It argues that much of Methodist and Wesleyan history has been shrouded in ‘Whiteness’; this term is concerned less with the epidermis of those racialized as ‘White’, and is more focused on systems, structures, policies, and procedures, all of which incorporate the totality of this phenomenon. As a cradle Methodist and a local preacher, I argue that for contemporary British Methodism to be a truly more radical, inclusive, and diverse ecclesial body, it will need to decolonize its history, rethinking how we see traditional, visible figures and consider the lack of agency of those condemned to the shadows. This work is not a revisionist ‘take down’ of John Wesley; rather, it is a postcolonial-inspired, Black theology hermeneutical reappraisal of our common history, seeking to give agency to often invisible Black voices.
Overcoming Nationalism in the Korean Methodist Theology of Inculturation: Toward a Fourth-Generation Theology
Authors: Yang Heejun 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Korean Methodist theologies of inculturation have focused on examining the relationship between the gospel and Korean traditional religious cultures. This article shows how Korean Methodist theology is rooted in nationalism through the works of the first Korean Methodist pastor, Ch’oe Pyŏnghŏn. Then it demonstrates how the nationalism of Korean Methodism continued in first-generation Korean theologians such as Yun Sŏngbŏm, Pyŏn Sŏnhwan, and Yu Tongsik. Lastly, it demonstrates the criticism of nationalism by third-generation (postcolonial) Korean Methodist theologians. In conclusion, the article suggests a new way to overcome nationalism with a Trinitarian theology of inculturation.

Introduction: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a novel dietary supplement (Maltor™) on indices of muscle recovery after a delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) protocol.
Methods: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, subjects consumed the treatment (i.e., 5 g. Maltor™ – a complex of taurine and L-malic acid in an approximately 2:1 ratio) and placebo (i.e.,1 g of sodium citrate and 4 g of maltodextrin) daily over 14 days. Subjects were instructed to consume the treatment or placebo for 14 days. After 14 days of consumption, subjects performed a DOMS protocol based on their 1-RM. Inflammatory markers, arm circumference, strength, subjective and objective measures of pain were assessed 24hr, 48hr and 72hrs after DOMS protocol.
Results: A statistically significant difference was found for the assessment of pain threshold via the pressure algometer (p=0.5). Subjects in the treatment group exhibited a higher pain threshold two days post-DOMS (i.e., delta score data). We found no significant differences between groups for arm circumference, 1-RM (p=0.66), pain assessed by VAS (0.94), or arm circumference (p=0.91) between the groups. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between groups for Interleukin-6 (p=0.85) and C-reactive protein (p=0.48), key markers of inflammation.
Conclusions: Based on this preliminary investigation, two weeks of consuming taurine-L-malic acid complex may diminish delayed-onset muscle soreness in exercise-trained males as assessed by an algometer (i.e., assessment of pain threshold).

Uma estratégia econômica e eficaz para prevenir o acúmulo excessivo de água na gestão da drenagem urbana envolve adotar os blocos de concreto intertravados (pavers) como alternativa. No entanto, muitos locais sofrem com pavimentação inadequada, levando a custos adicionais, desconforto e danos ambientais. Através de um estudo de caso o presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar, classificar as patologias encontradas e identificar o estado de deterioração de um pavimento flexível de uma rua do município de Passos – MG. O projeto foi composto por duas etapas distintas. A primeira consistiu na análise e identificação dos principais problemas estruturais do pavimento e suas causas e a segunda e última etapa envolveu a realização de testes para avaliar as dimensões mínimas e resistência à compressão dos blocos de concreto pré-moldados utilizados na pavimentação da referida rua e sobre suas propriedades, estando conectadas diretamente às cargas que são colocadas sobre o pavimento, conforme as diretrizes estabelecidas pela norma NBR 9781 (ABNT, 2013). Percebeu-se um elevado estado de deterioração da via analisada, ocasionado pelo desgaste natural ao longo do tempo, pelo tráfego diário de veículos e pela ausência de manutenções preventivas regulares. Os dados coletados nesta pesquisa fizeram com que fosse possível identificar as falhas que impactam o pavimento intertravado, juntamente com algumas possíveis soluções para preservar suas características essenciais.

O estudo tem como objetivo analisar os pontos controversos e, muitas vezes, divergentes, sobre as diretivas antecipadas de vontade na velhice a partir de considerações preliminares. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, foram realizados estudos sobre os conceitos, finalidade, relevância e a legislação existente no Brasil sobre o Testamento Vital. Assumpção (2014), o Testamento Vital pode ser o instrumento que melhor se adéqua à expressão dos anseios da pessoa, registrando, de maneira mais segura, as vontades e autonomia de cada indivíduo e afastando eventuais dilemas familiares. Na complexidade do final da vida de uma pessoa, determinadas decisões precisam ser tomadas. Algumas delas envolvem desejos que nem sempre são atendidos. O estudo será norteado pelas concepções dos autores: Husserl (2007; 2008), Heidegger (2012), Merleau-Ponty (1971; 2000) e Sartre (2007), cujas ideias serão o fio condutor desta pesquisa. A relevância do presente estudo parte do pressuposto de que qualquer ser humano tem o direito individual de morrer com dignidade. A construção metodológica foi norteada pela abordagem qualitativa e os dados que instituíram a pesquisa foram obtidos por meio de estudos bibliográficos e documentais. O estudo indica que o Testamento Vital está presente no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, amparados pelos princípios da autonomia e dignidade humana. Nesse contexto, as Diretivas Antecipadas de Vontade constituem-se como construção histórica e cultural. A pesquisa qualitativa, bibliografia e análise documental trazem as apreciações sobre o processo de Diretivas Antecipadas de Vontade no fim da vida. Percepções e interpretações que revelam mitos e preconceitos no percurso, mas destacam, também, a importância da conscientização e publicitação do referido Testamento enquanto direito e garantia fundamental em nosso ordenamento jurídico brasileiro.

Published: June 2024

A síndrome dos ovários policísticos (SOP) é a condição clínica mais comum entre as disfunções endócrinas que afetam mulheres em idade reprodutiva, e novas alternativas terapêuticas para seu manejo são frequentemente estudadas. Esta revisão narrativa buscou analisar os efeitos da curcumina, um polifenol presente na cúrcuma, em pacientes com a síndrome, e sua possibilidade como tratamento. Os impactos da curcumina no metabolismo de pacientes com SOP foram explorados por meio da análise e comparação de estudos clínicos realizados entre 2017 e 2022. Apesar de divergências nos resultados, todos os estudos demonstraram algum tipo de benefício no uso da curcumina no tratamento da SOP, incluindo possíveis efeitos positivos no metabolismo da glicose e resistência à insulina – com redução da glicemia de jejum e outras alterações em parâmetros glicêmicos –, nas variações no perfil lipídico – com redução do colesterol total e LDL-c e aumento do HDL-c –, nos níveis hormonais – com diminuição de androgênios e aumento do estradiol-, e em características menstruais, além de outros possíveis impactos nos demais componentes avaliados. Limitações dos estudos compreendem as variações nas dosagens de curcumina, a duração do tratamento, e a representatividade e tamanho das amostras estudadas. De forma geral, os benefícios sugeridos apontam para um papel positivo da curcumina na SOP. No entanto, são necessárias mais pesquisas para confirmar esses achados, esclarecer divergências e estabelecer diretrizes para o uso clínico da curcumina na SOP.

Deactivation of manganese dioxide electrocatalyst in zinc-air batteries studied via density functional theory
Authors:   , Buapin Puwit 
Published: June 2024

Manganese dioxide (MnO2) is the effective electrocatalysts used as a cathode for Zn-Air batteries (ZABs) accounted for the acceleration of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). There are various studies on the ORR activity of MnO2 rather than deactivation mechanisms. In this work, the deactivation mechanisms of α-MnO2 and β-MnO2 was investigated by density functional theory and computational hydrogen electrode. It was found that, the phase transformation from the α-MnO2 (211) to β-MnO2 (110) shows that the catalyst deactivation is due to the higher overpotential of β-MnO2 (110) making electrocatalyst efficiency low. For Ov surfaces, it illustrates that the performance is decreased in Ov α-MnO2 (211), while, Ov β-MnO2 (110) can be enhanced. The poisoning intermediates, *OOH found in ORR of perfect catalysts, exhibit deactivation on α-MnO2 (211) and β-MnO2 (110). In addition, the activity of poisoning β-MnO2 (110) on 2e- ORR is higher than that of β-MnO2 (110) on 4e- ORR. The poisoning intermediate cases reveal that the ORR can operate, although the catalyst surfaces are covered by *OOH rich. Therefore, the prevention of Ov for α-MnO2 is the key to keep the high activity of α-MnO2 electrocatalysts, while, the Ov can improve the catalytic performance of β-MnO2.

Do transexualismo à incongruência de gênero
Authors: Sombra Neto Luis Lopes , Luz José Henrique Sousa 
Published: June 2024

Objetivo: Contribuir para o conhecimento sobre a evolução histórica das classificações diagnósticas relacionadas às identidades trans. Métodos: Trata-se de artigo de atualização realizado através de revisão bibliográfica das edições da Classificação Internacional de Doenças (CID) e do Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM), além de outras publicações científicas sobre a história e a evolução das classificações diagnósticas referentes às identidades trans. Resultados: As identidades trans já foram nomeadas de diversas formas nos manuais que determinam os critérios diagnósticos que compõem a nosologia médica. No DSM, houve certa gradação: o que era definido por “Transexualismo” se tornou, inicialmente, “Transtorno de identidade de gênero” e, mais recentemente, “Disforia de gênero”. Já na CID, a mudança foi mais direta: do “Transexualismo”, categoria de um subgrupo de transtornos psiquiátricos conhecido como “Transtornos da identidade sexual”, para “Incongruência de gênero”, categoria de um grupo não pertencente aos transtornos psiquiátricos, nomeado como “Condições relacionadas à saúde sexual”. Conclusão: A despatologização das identidades trans faz parte do processo de evolução do conhecimento humano que, dessa forma, contribui para a superação de antigos preconceitos e discriminações relacionadas a esse grupo.
