Authorship in the Interstices of History, Biography, Reality and Memory: Histoire(s) du cinéma and Cabra Marcado para Morrer
No full textEste artigo contrasta Histoire(s) du cinéma de Jean-Luc Godard e Cabra Marcado Para Morrer de Eduardo Coutinho, estão engajadas com a questão da autoria no cinema. Enquanto a imagem de Godard enfatiza a capacidade que tem um filme de transmitir a visão de mundo pessoal de um artista, a presença de Coutinho na tela funciona menos como um meio de subjetivar a obra do que como um catalizador instigando cetas reações nos "atores" filmados
Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
Purinergic signaling, DAMPs, and inflammation
No full textDanger sensing is one of the most fundamental evolutionary features enabling multicellular organisms to perceive potential threats, escape from risky situations, fight actual intruders, and repair damage. Several endogenous molecules are used to “signal damage,” currently referred to as “alarmins” or “damage-associated molecular patterns” (DAMPs), most being already present within all cells (preformed DAMPs), and thus ready to be released, and others neosynthesized following injury. Over recent years it has become overwhelmingly clear that adenosine 5=-triphosphate (ATP) is a ubiquitous and extremely efficient DAMP (thus promoting inflammation), and its main metabolite, adenosine, is a strong immunosuppressant (thus dampening inflammation). Extracellular ATP ligates and activates the P2 purinergic receptors (P2Rs) and is then degraded by soluble and plasma membrane ecto-nucleotidases to generate adenosine acting at P1 purinergic receptors (P1Rs). Extracellular ATP, P2Rs, ecto-nucleotidases, adenosine, and P1Rs are basic elements of the purinergic signaling network and fundamental pillars of inflammation
DESEMPENHO DO ÍNDICE COUTINHO NA AVALIAÇÃO DO PADRÃO DE FIBROSE PERIPORTAL EM PACIENTES COM ESQUISTOSSOMOSE EM HOSPITAL DE REFERÊNCIA EM RECIFE
No full textIntrodução/objetivo: A avaliação do padrão da fibrose periportal (FPP) na esquistossomose mansoni é essencial, uma vez que permite determinar a gravidade da doença e prever complicações, como hemorragia digestiva. Essa análise é realizada pela ultrassonografia, porém apresenta limitações, como operadores treinados e disponibilidade de maquinário. Desta forma, vem-se utilizando biomarcadores para avaliar a FPP, dentre os quais se destaca o Índice Coutinho. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o desempenho do Índice Coutinho na avaliação do padrão da FPP, tendo como padrão-ouro a ultrassonografia. Métodos: Em 2019, foram avaliados 57 pacientes com FPP (idade 64 anos, 54,4% feminino) acompanhados em hospital de referência em Recife (HC-UFPE). Todos os pacientes realizaram US (Siemens Acuson S2000) pelo mesmo operador e o padrão da FPP foi definido pela classificação de Niamey. Os exames que compõem o Índice Coutinho [(FA/LSN) / plaquetas] x 100] foram realizados no Laboratório Central do HC-UFPE. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas pelo software SPSS versão 25 para Windows. Resultados: O Índice Coutinho variou entre: 0,19 e 4,51 (Percentis 25 e 75 de 0,40 e 1,27, respectivamente). Foram observados os resultados de mediana do Índice Coutinho e P25-P75, respectivamente: 0,30 (0,21-0,36) para FPP padrão C (Periférica); 0,54 (0,36-0,79) para padrão D (Central) e 1,12 (0,87-1,67) para padrão E/F (Avançada / muito avançada). Quando as 3 medianas do Índice Coutinho foram comparadas entre si com os respectivos padrões de Niamey C x D x E/F, obteve-se p < 0,001; da mesma forma, quando comparados os padrões C x E/F e D x E/F. Além disso, observou-se associação entre os valores do Índice Coutinho e o padrão de FPP, de acordo com a classificação de Niamey, com o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman (r = 0,621; p < 0,001). Conclusão: Nesta série, observou-se que o Índice Coutinho foi capaz de diferenciar os pacientes com padrões mais leves de FPP daqueles com fibrose mais avançada. A utilização de testes não invasivos, de simples execução e baixo custo, auxiliam no diagnóstico dos padrões mais avançados de FPP, constituindo ferramenta importante nas zonas endêmicas
