Os Estylos são Função dos Indivíduos
No full textIn this paper, I propose some associations between Pessoa's reflections on style and his definition of freedom and autonomy. According to the described point of view, style becomes a manifestation of a superlative state of access to culture from which the author acquires an expression freed from conventional shackles, allowing a management and adaptation of different cultural vocabularies, represented, for example, by the various mythologies adopted in writing. The problem of style, usually read in terms of aesthetic issues or the constitution of heteronymic individuality and the debate between heteronyms, is thus associated with other relevant issues in Fernando Pessoa's theoretical universe.Neste texto, propõem-se algumas associações entre a discussão de Pessoa em torno do estilo e o modo como o poeta define uma concepção da liberdade e da autonomia. De acordo com o ponto de vista descrito, o estilo converte-se numa manifestação de um superlativo estado de acesso à cultura a partir do qual o artista criador adquire uma expressão liberta de amarras convencionais, permitindo ao indivíduo manejar e adaptar os diferentes vocabulários culturais, representados, por exemplo, pelas várias mitologias adoptadas no decurso da escrita. O problema do estilo, normalmente lido em função de questões estéticas ou da constituição da individualidade heteronímica e do debate entre os heterónimos, é assim associado a outras questões relevantes no universo teórico de Fernando Pessoa

“Nós os de Orpheu”: da distinção
No full textThis essay considers Fernando Pessoa’s text “Nós os de Orpheu” within its specific context of publication, a magazine that pays tribute to Orpheu, twenty years after its short existence, and to Presença, a dominant magazine in the national literary scene at the time. This collaboration in Sudoeste is Pessoa´s last publication in his lifetime, being these therefore his ultimate and, accordingly, definitive words about Orpheu. This note will be discussed, on the one hand, in relation to other texts in which Pessoa spoke about Orpheu and, on the other hand, considered as a distinguishing act in relation to the Presença movement. The confrontation between Orpheu and Presença, that this number of Sudoeste stages and promotes, has become decisive in reading the Portuguese literary modernism. This essay argues that it is the awareness of this confrontation which underlies this editorial note as well as the choice of the other texts the author decided to publish on the same occasion, the poem “Conselho”, in his own name, and “Nota ao Acaso", from Álvaro de Campos.O presente ensaio entende o texto “Nós os de Orpheu” de Fernando Pessoa a partir do seu contexto específico de publicação, uma revista que presta homenagem a Orpheu, vinte anos depois da sua curta existência, e à Presença, dominante no panorama literário nacional coevo. Atendendo à circunstância de ser a colaboração em Sudoeste a última publicação em vida de Pessoa, estas são as suas derradeiras e, nesse sentido, definitivas palavras sobre Orpheu. Esta nota será discutida, por um lado, tendo presentes outros textos em que Pessoa se pronunciou sobre Orpheu e, por outro, considerando-a como acto de distinção relativamente ao movimento presencista. O confronto entre Orpheu e Presença, que este número de Sudoeste encena e promove, passou a ser determinante na leitura do modernismo literário português. Este ensaio defende que é a consciência dessa confrontação a subjazer à nota editorial de Pessoa e a tornar decisivas as escolhas dos outros textos que o autor decidiu publicar nessa mesma ocasião, o poema “Conselho”, em nome próprio, e a “Nota ao Acaso”, de Álvaro de Campos
Treatment outcome and prognostic indices in patients with hyperglycemic emergencies
No full textIU Ezeani,1 A Eregie,2 OS Ogedengbe21Department of Medicine, Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria; 2Department of Medicine, University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, NigeriaObjective: The objective of this study is to assess the treatment outcomes in patients with hyperglycemic emergencies and to ascertain the factors associated with outcome, with emphasis on the determinants of outcome.Method: A total of 105 patients admitted to the Accident and Emergency unit, who fulfilled the criteria for hyperglycemic emergencies, were selected. The information extracted included sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory data, as well as hospitalization outcome.Results: Of the 105 subjects that participated in the study, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic state (HHNK) was seen in 50% (53) of the subjects, while diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was seen in 31% (29), normo-osmolar nonketotic hyperglycemic state (NNHS) in 12% (13), and mixed hyperglycemic emergency in 7% (10) of the subjects. The overall mortality rate in this study was 4.8%. Three deaths were recorded in patients with HHNK, while DKA and NNHS each had one death. Three of the deaths occurred within the first 24 hours of admission while the other two were more than 24 hours after admission. The mean (standard deviation) total duration of hospital stay was 24.2 days (SD), and the range of stay was 0.5–88 days.Conclusion: The most common type of hyperglycemic emergency seen in this study was HHNK. Also, the presence of infection, and sex of the study subject, were significant determinants of outcome in this study.Keywords: hyperglycemia, emergency, diabetes mellitus, insuli
Characterization and structure in the development of Tudor comedy
No full textThe role of characterization in dramatic structure is assessed by theoretical criteria.
Characters who perform actions necessary for the completion of the narrative sequence are
said to be "bound" to the narrative; those without such obligations are "free". Characters
who maintain a single, constant meaning during the course of a play are said to be "static";
characters who change or develop into new roles are "dynamic". Horatian decorum
demanded that comic characters be static, and the characters of Plautine and Terentian
tradition were almost always bound to narrative intrigue. However, evaluations of six
Tudor comedies show an increasing use of non-classical characterization within the comic
form.
In the early comedies lohan lohan and Roister Doister all characters are bound and
static, yet the impetus to enlarge the role of characterization is evident. The characters of
lohan lohan are expanded from their French source, and Roister Doister includes
extraneous episodes in which Udall displays his braggart hero. Free characters abound in
Misogonus; as well the play brings dynamic characterization into the scope of comedy with
the conversion of its prodigal son.
Free characters offer new possibilities of non-narrative plotting. In comedies of the
1580s favourite traditional characters appear as diversions outside the action, and thematic
arrangements of characters inform the increasingly complex plots. Lyly stresses the
symbolic potential of characters in Endimion, whereas Greene uses dynamic
characterization to heighten the illusion of independent figures in Friar Bacon and Friar
Bungay. Love's Labour's Lost exposes the limitations of comic artifice by pulling the
characters between convention and individualization.
By the end of the sixteenth century free and dynamic characters had become
common, and characterization had established a sizable claim on the design of English
comedy. These developments set the English form apart from its neoclassical counterparts
Reconfiguração do consensualismo contratual: as ações tituladas nominativas e os limites à transmissão
No full textPartimos da evolução histórica do consensualismo contratual salientando os
principais carateres que, nos diversos momentos históricos, se foram evidenciando.
Numa segunda etapa exploramos os fundamentos dogmáticos do modelo de
transmissão contratual assumido pelo legislador e a sua viabilidade no sistema
jurídico global, em particular, no direito dos valores mobiliários. Constatamos a
crescente necessidade na prática mercantil e inevitabilidade no sistema jurídico
global da admissibilidade da existência de contratos de compra e venda de natureza
meramente obrigacional. Num terceiro momento desenvolvemos os principais
aspetos do regime jurídico aplicável às ações tituladas nominativas fora do mercado
regulado, em particular, os principais limites à transmissão, enquanto instrumentos/barreiras ao consensualismo contratual.We start from the historical evolution of contractual consensualism emphasizing the
main aspects that, in different historical moments, were showing up. In a second
stage we explore the dogmatic foundations of the transmission model contractual
assumed by the legislator and its viability in the global legal system, in particular, in
securities law. We note the growing need in commercial practice and inevitability in
the global legal system the admissibility of the existence of contracts of sale purely
obligatory. In the third stage we develop the main aspects of the legal regime
applicable to nominative titled actions outside the regulated market, in particular,
the main limits to the transmission, as instruments / barriers to contractual
consensualism

The World Health Organization (WHO) criterion was used to define MS and the UKPDS-RE was used to identify persons with increased risk for stroke and those with increased risk for coronary heart disease. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Statistical comparisons were made with chi-square for comparison of proportions. A P-value of less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.Results: Fifteen subjects were identified as having an increased 10-year risk for stroke and ten as having an increased risk for a coronary event. The odds of a T2DM subject with MS having an increased risk for stroke compared with a T2DM subject without MS was 0.9579≈1 while the odds of a T2DM subject with MS developing an increased risk for a coronary event compared with a T2DM subject without MS was =3.451≈3.Conclusion: MS was more common in subjects with T2DM compared with controls (irrespective of the diagnostic criteria used) and MS appears to increase the risk of a coronary event in subjects with T2DM by threefold. Also from this study, MS did not appear to cause an additional increase in the risk of stroke in subjects with T2DM.Keywords: diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, UKPDS risk engin
