Experiência e linguagem como estratégias de resistência

Neste artigo visamos apontar, apoiadas em W. Benjamim e G. Agamben, a fragilização do registro da experiência e sua incidência na lógica do poder/violência. Analisamos, pretendendo desmistificar a eficácia dos discursos mortificadores da experiência, a figura do "mulçumano"; - nome que designava os mortos-vivos nos campos de concentração, conforme relato de Primo Levi e outros. Tal figura é emblemática do estado limite a que chegaram algumas pessoas e podem expressar o destino de alguns sujeitos na contemporaneidade. Pudemos identificar nessa posição tanto um movimento na direção da perda do laço identificatório com o semelhante, como uma forma de resistência à violência perpetrada pelo discurso social. Tal resistência consiste em operar uma mimese ao objeto resto, o que permite ao sujeito a manutenção da estrutura fantasmática. Indicamos que, apesar das estratégias do poder, o sujeito reinventa modos de se situar na relação ao Outro, nos quais se fazem importantes a presença e a palavra, incluindo aí a experiência psicanalítica.

The Tausk controversy on the foundations of quantum mechanics: Physics, philosophy, and politics

In 1966 the Brazilian physicist Klaus Tausk (b. 1927) circulated a preprint from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, criticizing Adriana Daneri, Angelo Loinger, and Giovanni Maria Prosperi`s theory of 1962 on the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. A heated controversy ensued between two opposing camps within the orthodox interpretation of quantum theory, represented by Leon Rosenfeld and Eugene P. Wigner. The controversy went well beyond the strictly scientific issues, however, reflecting philosophical and political commitments within the context of the Cold War, the relationship between science in developed and Third World countries, the importance of social skills, and personal idiosyncrasies.

Effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) on hormone secretion from sheep pituitary cells in vitro

Although vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is thought to be a prolactin releasing factor, in vivo studies on sheep suggest that it is inactive in this species. Recent studies, based primarily on the rat, suggest that the related pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is also a hypophysiotrophic factor but again in sheep, this peptide has no in vivo effects on hormone secretion despite being a potent activator of adenylate cyclase in vitro. This lack of response to either peptide in vivo in sheep could be due to the low concentration of peptide that reaches the pituitary gland following peripheral injection. In the present study we therefore adopted an alternative approach of evaluating in vitro effects of these peptides on GH, FSH, LH or prolactin secretion from dispersed sheep pituitary cells. In a time-course study, PACAP (1 mu mol/l) increased GH concentrations in the culture medium between 1 and 4 h and again at 12 h but had no effect in the 6 and 24 h incubations. Prolactin, LH and FSH were not affected by PACAP. The response to various concentrations of PACAP (1 nmol/l-1 mu mol/l) were then evaluated using a 3 h incubation. Again prolactin and LH were not affected by PACAP and there was a small increase in GH concentrations but only at high concentrations of PACAP (0.1 and 1 mu mol/l; P<0.05), PACAP also stimulated FSH secretion in cells from some animals although this effect was small, The GH response to PACAP was inhibited by PACAP(6-38), a putative PACAP antagonist; but not by (N-Ac-Tyr(1), D-Arg(2))-GHRH(1-29)-NH2, a GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) antagonist. The cAMP antagonist Rp-cAMPS was unable to block the GH response to PACAP suggesting that cAMP does not mediate the secretory response to this peptide. At incubation times from 1-24 h, VIP (1 mu mol/l) had no effects on prolactin, LH or GH secretion and, in a further experiment based on a 3 h incubation, concentrations of VIP from 1 nmol/l-1 mu mol/l were again without effect on prolactin concentrations. Interactions between PACAP and gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH), GHRH and dopamine were also investigated. PACAP (1 nmol/l-1 mu mol/l) did not affect the gonadotrophin or prolactin responses to GnRH or dopamine respectively. However, at a high concentration (1 mu mol/l), PACAP inhibited the GH response to GHRH. In summary, these results show that PACAP causes a modest increase in FSH and GH secretion from sheep pituitary cells but only at concentrations of PACAP that are unlikely to be in the physiological range. The present study confirms that VIP is not a prolactin releasing factor in sheep.

Analyzing Geospatial patterns of syrian refugee flows in southeastern Turkey by use of remote sensing and complementary data

Crisis-affected communities and global organizations for international aid are becoming increasingly digital as consequence geotechnology popularity. Humanitarian sector changed in profound ways by adopting new technical approach to obtain information from area with difficult geographical or political access. Since 2011, turkey is hosting a growing number of Syrian refugees along southeastern region. Turkish policy of hosting them in camps and the difficulty created by governors to international aid group expeditions to get information, made such international organizations to investigate and adopt other approach in order to obtain information needed. They intensified its remote sensing approach. However, the majority of studies used very high-resolution satellite imagery (VHRSI). The study area is extensive and the temporal resolution of VHRSI is low, besides it is infeasible only using these sensors as unique approach for the whole area. The focus of this research, aims to investigate the potentialities of mid-resolution imagery (here only Landsat) to obtain information from region in crisis (here, southeastern Turkey) through a new web-based platform called Google Earth Engine (GEE). Hereby it is also intended to verify GEE currently reliability once the Application Programming Interface (API) is still in beta version. The finds here shows that the basic functions are trustworthy. Results pointed out that Landsat can recognize change in the spectral resolution clearly only for the first settlement. The ongoing modifications vary for each case. Overall, Landsat demonstrated high limitations, but need more investigations and may be used, with restriction, as a support of VHRSI.

Help-seeking for 'memory loss' by older adults in India : patient, caregiver and health providers' perspectives

ABSTRACT: Background. In India, prevalence rates of dementia and prodromal amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are 3.1% and 4.3% respectively. Most Indians refer to the full spectrum of cognitive disorders simply as ‘memory loss.’ Barring prevention or cure, these conditions will rise rapidly with population aging. Evidence-based policies and practices can improve the lives of affected individuals and their caregivers, but will require timely and sustained uptake. Objectives. Framed by social cognitive theories of health behavior, this study explores the knowledge, attitudes and practices concerning cognitive impairment and related service use by older adults who screen positive for MCI, their primary caregivers, and health providers. Methods. I used the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to screen for cognitive impairment in memory camps in Mumbai. To achieve sampling diversity, I used maximum variation sampling. Ten adults aged 60+ who had no significant functional impairment but screened positive for MCI and their caregivers participated in separate focus groups. Four other such dyads and six doctors/ traditional healers completed in-depth interviews. Data were translated from Hindi or Marathi to English and analyzed in Atlas.ti using Framework Analysis. Findings. Knowledge and awareness of cognitive impairment and available resources were very low. Physicians attributed the condition to disease-induced pathology while lay persons blamed brain malfunction due to normal aging. Main attitudes were that this condition is not a disease, is not serious and/or is not treatable, and that it evokes stigma toward and among impaired persons, their families and providers. Low knowledge and poor attitudes impeded help-seeking. Conclusions. Cognitive disorders of aging will take a heavy toll on private lives and public resources in developing countries. Early detection, accurate diagnosis, systematic monitoring and quality care are needed to compress the period of morbidity and promote quality of life. Key stakeholders provide essential insights into how scientific and indigenous knowledge and sociocultural attitudes affect use and provision of resources.
