Псалтирь царя Давида Симеона Полоцкого в контексте паралитургической и парафрастической традиции XVI–XVII вв.

The collection of poetic translations of King David’s Psalms, compiled by Symeon of Polatsk, is usually used in the scientific discourse under the descriptive title Psaltir’ rifmotvornaya. In this article, King David’s Psalter (1680) of Symeon is considered not in the context of the poet’s entire creative heritage, but in terms of the evolution of the European book tradition of paraliturgical discursive psalmic practices and the poetic paraphrase of the psalms, beginning with the German poets of the Renaissance Helius Eobanus Hessus and Ioannes Mylius Libenrodensis. Not only the artistic experience of Western and Central Europe but also of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is taken into account. Addressing the broader historical context allows us to move away from traditional scientific discussions about the degree of influence of Jan Kochanowski’s poetic paraphrases of psalms (Psałterz Dawidów, 1578) and to more adequately appreciate Symeon’s merits in the field of cultural transfer. The King David’s Psalter of Symeon is evaluated as a result of the interaction of the European book tradition of creating poetic paraphrases of biblical texts and the East Slavic singing culture. The functioning of this culture from the end of the 16th century and especially in the 17th century was greatly influenced by Polish spiritual songs (first of all, the poetic paraphrases of the psalms of Jan Kochanowski), as well as by the increased interest in polyphonic singing thanks to Nikolai Diletsky.The collection of poetic translations of King David’s Psalms, compiled by Symeon of Polatsk, is usually used in the scientific discourse under the descriptive title Psaltir’ rifmotvornaya.

Анималистические гротески в фольклоре и литературе славянских народов как художественный антидепрессант и релевантный элемент культурной грамотности

Songs with animalistic motifs are widely represented in the traditional culture of Slavic peoples. Songs with bird motifs clearly predominate, as most of them were originally connected with the archaic ritual of the bird wedding. In the course of their centuries of use, their erotic context has been reduced, and their social and didactic motifs have been strengthened. Embodied primarily in the form of grotesques (Czesław Hernas), these songs became an essential element of the cultural literacy (Eric Donald Hirsch) of the people and formed the basis of ethnopedagogy. The playful character and life-like plot collisions played a role of a peculiar psychotherapeutic means, which is confirmed by the reviews of ethnographers, as well as writers, who processed the folklore plots. In the culture of the Slavic peoples of the new time, the songs with bird motifs were most widespread, although the ritual of a bird wedding survived only among the Sorbs from Lusatia. Animalistic grotesques contributed to the socialization of a person, their awareness of themselves within various models of collective identity. This is why such poems and songs are especially relevant in the sphere of modern recreational culture, including in the field of preschool pedagogy.Songs with animalistic motifs are widely represented in the traditional culture of Slavic peoples.

Basal levels of inorganic elements, genetic damages, and hematological values in captive Falco peregrinus

It is essential to determine the basal pattern of different biomarkers for future evaluation of animal health and biomonitoring studies. Due to their great displacement capacity and to being at the top of their food chains, birds of prey are suitable for monitoring purposes. Furthermore, some birds of prey are adapted to using resources in urban places, providing information about this environment. Thus, this study determined the basal frequency of micronuclei and other nuclear alterations in peripheral blood erythrocytes of Falco peregrinus. Hematological and inorganic elements analysis were also performed. For this purpose, 13 individuals (7 females and 6 males) were sampled in private breeding grounds. Micronucleus, nuclear buds, nucleoplasmic bridges, notched nuclei, binucleated cells and nuclear tails were quantified. Inorganic elements detected included the macro-elements Ca, P, Mg, Na, Cl, S and K as well as the micro-elements Fe, Al and Zn. Our study found similar values compared to previous studies determining the reference ranges of hematologic parameters in falcons. The only different value was observed in the relative number of monocytes. Thus, this study is the first approach to obtaining reference values of cytogenetic damage in this species and could be useful for future comparisons in biomonitoring studies

Chitosan Fibers Modified with HAp/β–TCP Nanoparticles

This paper describes a method for preparing chitosan fibers modified with hydroxyapatite (HAp), tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and HAp/β-TCP nanoparticles. Fiber-grade chitosan derived from the northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) and nanoparticles of tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) suspended in a diluted chitosan solution were used in the investigation. Diluted chitosan solution containing nanoparticles of Hap/β-TCP was introduced to a 5.16 wt% solution of chitosan in 3.0 wt% acetic acid. The properties of the spinning solutions were examined. Chitosan fibers modified with nanoparticles of HAp/β-TCP were characterized by a level of tenacity and calcium content one hundred times higher than that of regular chitosan fibers

Aplicação da técnica Pixe ao estudo de poluição de regiões costeiras marinhas utilizando peixes como bioindicadores

O presente trabalho consiste no estudo de uma possível influência antropogênica sazonal na praia de Itamambuca através da análise de peixes que habitam esta região, considerados biomonitores. O peixe escolhido para este estudo foi o Atherinella brasiliensis, usualmente conhecido como peixe-rei, devido à sua abundância. Num total, 84 peixes foram coletados entre julho de 2004 e fevereiro de 2005 em diferentes locais da praia e dentro do rio Itamabuca. Estes animais foram classificados de acordo com a estação do ano, local e período de coleta e sua musculatura foi analisada através das técnicas Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) [1] e Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) [2]. A concentração de elementos leves que compõem a matriz da amostra, tais como C, N e O foi obtida através da técnica RBS, enquanto os elementos majoritários (Na, Mg, P, S, Cl, K e Ca) e os elementos traço (Si, Al, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br e Sr) foram medidos através da técnica PIXE. Os resultados mostram que não existem diferenças significativas entre as concentrações elementares dos tecidos de peixes coletados durante a alta temporada (primavera-verão) e a baixa temporada (outono-inverno), o que pode ser um indicativo de que o aumento das atividades humanas nestas regiões tem pouco impacto no ecossistema da praia. Também não existem diferenças entre peixes coletados durante o dia e a noite, bem como nas diferentes regiões do rio e da praia, confirmando a hipótese de um caráter migratório destes animais

Microanálise com feixes de íons : caracterização de elementos leves em materiais via micro-NRA e micro-PIXE

O Laboratório de Implantação Iônica (LII) do IF-UFRGS possui uma linha de microfeixe instalada há poucos anos e que se encontra em fase de otimização e desenvolvimento. Esta é a primeira e única linha de microfeixe de íons instalada no Brasil e, portanto, é de grande interesse torná-la eficiente e disponibilizá-la para a comunidade científica. Algumas técnicas já estão bem desenvolvidas na linha de microfeixe: micro-PIXE, STIM e PBW (proton beam writing). A grande variedade de técnicas baseadas em feixes de íons de grande dimensão estimula estudos para a operacionalização dessas mesmas para o caso de feixes micrométricos. O estabelecimento e a operacionalização da técnica micro-NRA (reação nuclear) é importante para a consolidação de uma técnica capaz de determinar e mapear elementos leves que não são detectados com as técnicas atualmente em operação. Tais elementos, como por exemplo, carbono, nitrogênio e oxigênio, são os constituintes majoritários de grande parte dos materiais em estudo no LII. Neste estudo, apresentamos os parâmetros experimentais utilizados, bem como os resultados analíticos obtidos com a técnica de micro-NRA. Uma primeira avaliação sugere que a técnica tem grandes potencialidades para caracterização e mapeamento do carbono, enquanto que os resultados para o oxigênio e nitrogênio indicam a necessidade de uma técnica complementar. Adicionalmente, os resultados obtidos com micro-NRA foram comparados com os resultados provenientes de medidas com micro-PIXE utilizando um detector SDD com janela ultrafina, recentemente instalado na linha de microfeixe. Uma avaliação dos mapas elementares obtidos pelas duas técnicas indica que as medidas realizadas com micro-PIXE oferecem resultados com melhor estatística e mapas elementares de qualidade superior.A couple of years ago, the Ion Implantation Laboratory (LII) at IF- UFRGS installed a microprobe station and ever since it has been under development. This is the first and unique ion microprobe station installed in Brazil and therefore it is of great interest to make it efficient and available to the scientific community. Some techniques are well developed in the microbeam station: micro-PIXE, STIM and proton beam writing. A wide variety of techniques based on broad ion beams stimulates further work for the implementation of such techniques for the case where the beam spot size is of the order of few micrometers. The study of the micro-NRA technique (Nuclear Reaction Analysis) is important since it can be used for the detection of light elements that are not detected with the techniques already in operation at the microprobe station. Such elements, such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are the major constituents of most materials under study in LII. In this study, we present the experimental parameters as well as the analytical results obtained with the micro-NRA technique. A preliminary assessment suggests that the technique has a great potential for the characterization and mapping of carbon, while the results for oxygen and nitrogen indicate the need for a complementary technique. Additionally, the results obtained with micro-NRA were compared with the results from measurements with micro-PIXE obtained with a SDD detector with ultra-thin window. An evaluation of the elemental maps obtained by the two techniques indicates that the measurements made with micro-PIXE provide results with better statistics and elemental maps with higher quality
