DINÂMICAS PROFÉTICAS NO PRÓLOGO DE DÊUTERO-ISAÍAS. Exegese de Isaías 40,1-11.

As dinâmicas proféticas no prólogo de Dêutero-Isaías que delineiam grande parte das linhas da mensagem apresentada em todo o bloco de Isaías 40-55 como uma introdução, é via desta pesquisa. Estas dinâmicas contêm conceitos teológicos renovados, pertinentes, e que fortaleceram o ânimo dos exilados. Para isto, o profeta usou como modelo antigas memórias fundamentais do povo hebreu. Em especial no prólogo, destacam-se o êxodo do Egito e a peregrinação no deserto, que têm seu propósito em chamar os exilados à resistência ao assédio e incorporação babilônica. Tendo em vista que, entre sucumbir aos encantos da religião e cultura babilônica, ou continuar a firmar a fé em Javé esperando a mudança da sorte, estava o drama vivido pelos exilados. O povo precisava de respostas pertinentes às suas dúvidas e é neste sentido que surge a profecia de Dêutero-Isaías combatendo a crise com esperança e movimentando à fé antes resignada. Neste sentido, a história da salvação serve como apoio e garantia para o futuro de libertação e restauração. Quando o presente não era capaz de suscitar esperança de mudanças no futuro, o profeta buscou no passado, memórias capazes de suscitarem aos exilados o desejo de servir a Javé ao invés de Marduque. Por trás desta necessidade surge o conceito de que a história do povo é o caminho pelo qual Javé escolheu para manifestar-se. No prólogo é possível perceber, como, e, o que, o profeta utilizou para levar os judaítas exilados a sentir-se verdadeiramente o povo de Deus. Foi importante fazer com que buscassem sua identidade em suas experiências de libertação do passado para que pudessem ter esperança.

Quantal acetylcholine release induced by mediatophore transfection.

Mediatophore is a protein of approximately 200 kDa able to translocate acetylcholine in response to calcium. It was purified from the presynaptic plasma membranes of the electric organ nerve terminals. Mediatophore is a homooligomer of a 16-kDa subunit, homologous to the proteolipid of V-ATPase. Cells of the N18TG-2 neuronal line are not able to produce quantal acetylcholine release. We show here that transfection of N18TG-2 cells with a plasmid encoding the mediatophore subunit restored calcium-dependent release. The essential feature of such a release was its quantal nature, similar to what is observed in situ in cholinergic synapses from which mediatophore was purified.

Quaternary refugia of the sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.): an extended palynological approach

Knowledge about the glacial refugia of the thermophilous European Castanea sativa Mill. (sweet chestnut) is still inadequate. Its original range of distribution has been masked by strong human impact. Moreover, under natural conditions the species was probably admixed with other taxa (such as Quercus, Fraxinus, Fagus, Tilia) and thus possibly represented by low percentages in pollen records. In this paper we try to overcome the difficulties related to the scarcity and irregularity of chestnut pollen records by considering 1471 sites and extending the palynological approach to develop a Castanea refugium probability index (IRP), aimed at detecting possible chestnut refugia where chestnuts survived during the last glaciation. The results are in close agreement with the current literature on the refugia of other thermophilous European trees. The few divergences are most probably due to the large amount of new data integrated in this study, rather than to fundamental disagreements about data and data interpretation. The main chestnut refugia are located in the Transcaucasian region, north-western Anatolia, the hinterland of the Tyrrhenian coast from Liguria to Lazio along the Apennine range, the region around Lago di Monticchio (Monte Vulture) in southern Italy, and the Cantabrian coast on the Iberian peninsula. Despite the high likelihood of Castanea refugia in the Balkan Peninsula and north-eastern Italy (Colli Euganei, Monti Berici, Emilia-Romagna) as suggested by the IRP, additional palaeobotanical investigations are needed to assess whether these regions effectively sheltered chestnut during the last glaciation. Other regions, such as the Isère Département in France, the region across north-west Portugal and Galicia, and the hilly region along the Mediterranean coast of Syria and Lebanon were classified as areas of medium refugium probability. Our results reveal an unexpected spatial richness of potential Castanea refugia. It is likely that other European trees had similar distribution ranges during the last glaciation. It is thus conceivable that shelter zones with favourable microclimates were probably more numerous and more widely dispersed across Europe than so far assumed. In the future, more attention should be paid to pollen traces of sporadic taxa thought to have disappeared from a given area during the last glacial and post-glacial period.
