Origin of the theory about the Pseudo-Theophilus paraphrase
No full textOrigin of the theory about the Pseudo-Theophilus’ Paraphrase. – The sudden and abrupt change in Contardo Ferrini’s stance towards Theophilus, is attributed here to the misinterpretation of a letter sent to him by Zachariä von Lingenthal on January 31, 1884, just as his magnificent edition of the Paraphrase was on the brink of publication. This circumstance compels him to hastily modify and adapt its Prolegomena to his new theory, leading to significant unforeseen consequences. Furthermore, due to the rush, he also overlooks making modifications in other sections of his edition where, for this reason, Theophilus is still acknowledged as the author of the Paraphrase.Depto. de Derecho Romano e Historia del DerechoFac. de DerechoTRUEpu
Wave-Driven Hydrodynamic Processes Over Fringing Reefs With Varying Slopes, Depths, and Roughness: Implications for Coastal Protection
No full textWave breaking on the steep fore-reef slopes of shallow fringing reefs can be effective at dissipating incident sea-swell waves prior to reaching reef shorelines. However, wave setup and free infragravity waves generated during the sea-swell breaking process are often the largest contributors to wave-driven water levels (wave runup) at the shoreline. Laboratory flume experiments and a two-dimensional vertical phase-resolving nonhydrostatic wave-flow model, which includes a canopy model to predict drag forces generated by roughness elements, were used to investigate wave-driven water levels for along-shore uniform fringing reefs. In contrast to many previous studies, both the laboratory experiment and the numerical model account for the effects of large bottom roughness. The numerical model reproduced the observations of the wave transformation and runup over both smooth and rough reef profiles. The numerical model was then extended to quantify the influence of reef geometry and compared to simulations of plane beaches lacking a reef. For a fixed offshore forcing condition, the fore-reef slope controlled wave runup on reef-fronted beaches, whereas the beach slope controlled wave runup on plane beaches. As a result, the coastal protection utility of reefs is dependent on these slopes. For our examples, with a fore-reef slope of 1/5 and a 500 m prototype reef flat length, a beach slope of ∼1/30 marked the transition between the reef providing runup reduction for steeper beach slopes and enhancing wave runup for milder slopes. Roughness coverage, spacing, dimensions, and drag coefficient were investigated, with results indicating the greatest runup reductions were due to tall roughness elements on the reef flat.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Environmental Fluid Mechanic

The marginalized adolescent before liquid modernity
No full textO artigo em questão objetiva destacar características dos adolescentes e fazer apontamentos de como eles se tornam marginalizados frente às situações impostas pela modernidade líquida, e como ela influencia o seu comportamento na busca em atender a necessidade que sentem de serem aceitos na sociedade em que estão inseridos. Para tanto, foi utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica para o levantamento das informações expostas, e o marco teórico foi desenvolvido principalmente através dos estudos do sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman, com base em sua teoria líquida, do teólogo e psicólogo James Fowler, dos psicanalistas Contardo Calligaris e Françoise Dolto, com base em seus estudos sobre as características da fase da adolescência. Os resultados encontrados na produção deste artigo serão utilizados para o desenvolvimento da dissertação de mestrado do autor, intitulada “Desenvolvimento da fé e educação cristã na infância para a formação cidadã da criança”, além de ser debatido junto ao grupo de pesquisa “Interculturalidade na América Latina”, coordenado pelo Dr. Roberto Ervino Zwetsch.The article in question objective detach characters of adolescents to make directions of how they are marginalized by situations imposed by liquid modernity, and how it reflects in their behavior to search to attend the need they feel of been accepted in the society they're in.

The Importance of University Level Psychology Education for the Incarcerated
No full textabstract: Education is a fundamental human right. However, when groups of people are subjugated to systematic violence and institutionalization, the importance of education often is often forgotten. A team of students and faculty at Arizona State University (ASU) currently teach an Introduction to Psychology course within a minimum-security unit in conjunction with both the Arizona Department of Corrections and the Prison Education Program at ASU. This course aims to enhance the current educational programs offered by the prison by fostering an environment where inmates can practice literacy skills and are introduced to standard classroom procedures for the typical university class. In addition, the course introduces students to an academic field previously unknown to them, specifically, psychology. However, the most important aspect of this educational endeavor is to provide an environment where people who have been deemed inhuman and outside of the human experience can come together and learn. By doing so, the curriculum sought to instill confidence in the students by demonstrating that they are in fact capable of learning and comprehending university level material. As of 2016, numerous studies have been conducted from across the nation that have reaffirmed the validity and efficacy of prison education on reducing recidivism levels of the previously incarcerated (ADC 2005, Kim & Clark 2013, Nuttal et al. 2003). Additionally, studies have determined that the benefits that students receive from education while incarcerated are, over time, shared with the family members (Erisman & Contardo, 2005). These benefits, while not strictly educational, are incredibly important within the realm of reduction in crime as they pertain to "reduction of costs, reduction of strain of offenders on their families, and an economic boost for society" (Erisman & Contardo, 2005). Teaching within any prison unit, regardless of the security level, provides a variety of unique challenges. Some of these include the lack of technological resources within most classrooms, prohibition of outside material unless vetted and approved by prison education staff, and rigid restrictions on student-teacher interactions. Also, because of the nature of psychology and the students within the class, certain sensitive topics must be either handled with extreme care or will not be covered at all. However, particular achievements were made in regards to increasing in class participation and encouraging the students to continue to pursue academics. Most importantly, it provides an environment where the humanity of the prisoner is restored, if but for only a few hours a week. It allows them to be seen as more than numbers, allows them to think and voice their opinions in a space that respects them for their beliefs. And the restoration of humanity to an inherently inhumane system is far more important than any other educational goal
Free and forced components of shoaling long waves in the absence of short wave breaking
No full textLong waves are generated and transform when short-wave groups propagate into shallow water, but the generation and transformation processes are not fully understood. In this study we develop an analytical solution to the linearized shallow-water equations at the wave-group scale, which decomposes the long waves into a forced solution (a bound long wave) and free solutions (free long waves). The solution relies on the hypothesis that free long waves are continuously generated as short-wave groups propagate over a varying depth. We show that the superposition of free long waves and a bound long wave results in a shift of the phase between the short-wave group and the total long wave, as the depth decreases prior to short-wave breaking. While it is known that short-wave breaking leads to free long generation, through breakpoint forcing and bound wave release mechanisms, we highlight the importance of an additional free long wave generation mechanism due to depth variations, in the absence of breaking. This mechanism is important because as free long waves of different origins combine, the total free long wave amplitude is dependent on their phase relationship. Our free and forced solutions are verified against a linear numerical model, and we show how our solution is consistent with prior theory that does not explicitly decouple free and forced motions. We also validate the results with data from a nonlinear phase-resolving numerical wave model and experimental measurements, demonstrating that our analytical model can explain trends observed in more complete representations of the hydrodynamics

Non-invasive microstructural characterization and in vivo glycemic response of white bread formulated with soluble dietary fiber
No full textThe global prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, has prompted the development of starchy foods with functional ingredients to control starch digestibility and promote health benefits. This study aimed to analyze the effect of a mixture of soluble dietary fibers (SDF) - inulin and methylcellulose - on microstructural changes, in vitro starch digestibility, and in vivo glycemic response of a wheat bread formulation. Quantitative micro-CT image analysis revealed a reduced bread porosity, increased pores with small diameters, and a significant rise in bread structure thickness (p < 0.05), indicating a more homogeneous and compact structure after adding the SDF blend. The addition of the SDF blend led to a reduction in in vitro starch digestibility in the bread. The rapidly available glucose decreased from 31.02 g/100 g to 11.52 g/100 g, and the unavailable glucose fraction increased from 62.81 g/100 g to 80.49 g/100 g in bread + SDF compared to regular bread (p < 0.05). These differences could be attributed to the observed fiber coating over the starchgluten network in these samples, which may act as a physical barrier, impeding starch digestibility. In line with these findings, the SDF blend significantly reduced the postprandial glycemic response of bread by up to 25% compared with Trutol (R) standard commercial glucose (p < 0.05). The new formulation could be classified as an intermediate glycemic food, as glycemic index and glycemic load were 56.43 and 15.11, respectively, which may be helpful for people who want to manage the glucose levels in their daily diets

Epidemiological changes of invasive fungal disease in children with cancer: Prospective study of the National Child Program of Antineoplastic Drugs network, Chile
No full textBackground: Invasive fungal diseases (IFD) are high morbidity and mortality infections in children with cancer suffering episodes of high-risk febrile neutropenia (HRFN). IFD epidemiology has changed in the last two decades, with an increasing incidence in recent years due to the growing number of immunocompromised children at risk for IFD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of IFD in children with cancer in the period 2016-2020 compared to 2004-2006 in six hospitals in Chile. Methods: Prospective, multicentre study, carried out between 2016 and 2020 in six hospitals in Chile. The defined cohort corresponds to a dynamic group of HRFN episodes in patients <18 years old with cancer, who at the fourth day of evolution still presented fever and neutropenia (persistent HRFN). Each episode was followed until resolution of FN. The incidence of IFD was calculated between 2016 and 2020 and compared with data obtained in the period 2004-2006. The incidence rate was estimated. Results: A total of 777 episodes of HRFN were analysed; 257 (33.1%) were considered as persistent-HRFN occurring in 174 patients. The median age was 7 years (IQR: 3-12 years) and 52.3% (N = 91) were male. Fifty-three episodes of IFD were detected: 21 proven, 14 probable and 18 possible. Possible IFD were excluded, leaving 239 episodes of persistent-HRFN with an IFD incidence of 14.6% (95% CI 10.5-19.9) and an incidence rate of 13.6 IFD cases per 1000 days of neutropenia (95% CI 9.5-20.0). Compared to 2004-2006 cohort (incidence: 8.5% (95% CI 5.2-13.5)), a significant increase in incidence of 6.1% (95% CI 0.2-12.1, p = .047) was detected in cohorts between 2016 and 2020. Conclusion: We observed a significant increase in IFD in 2016-2020, compared to 2004-2006 period.Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Cientifico y Tecnologic
