The Righteous Suffering Servant: Observations about a Theological Problem in Four Individual Complaint Psalms

This article examines the theological problem of a righteous sufferer in four psalms (Pss 22; 27; 69; 109), and what emerges is a coherent image. The psalmist(s) who refers to God feels himself like a righteous servant; he is a religious man, but he faces suffering. The righteous sufferer is also aware of his innocence and that his pain has no real, understandable explanation. The awareness of his innocence is also the motivation to complain and search for God because God is the only one who can give an answer and a meaning to the painful situation. In the end, the righteous sufferer also realise that he does not need to be healed from suffering, instead he had to recognise the importance of God’s role in his life. This is the primary liberation that also allows him a real comprehension of his situation.   https://doi.org/10.17159/2312-3621/2020/v33n3a1

PREVALÊNCIA DE FATORES DE RISCO CARDIOVASCULAR EM DIABÉTICOS TIPO 2 NO MUNICÍPIO DE PARANAVAÍ-PR

As doenas cardiovasculares tm apresentado grande importncia dentro da sade pblica, frente ao seu enorme impacto social e econmico. Os fatores de risco para estas doenas tem acompanhado o portador do Diabetes Mellitus, representando a principal causa de morbimortalidade nesta populao. O presente trabalho teve como finalidade levantar a prevalncia dos fatores de risco das complicaes do Diabetes, que podem levar a doenas cardiovasculares. O estudo avaliou um grupo de 53 diabticos (tipo 2) atendidos por uma equipe do Programa Sade da Famlia (PSF) em Paranava, Paran. A avaliao incluiu avaliao socioeconmica, antropomtrica, pressrica e bioqumica. O estudo demonstrou uma elevada prevalncia de vrios fatores de risco, como presso arterial, dislipidemias, hiperglicemia e excesso de peso, tanto em homens, quanto em mulheres. Considerando a coexistncia de fatores de risco, foi possvel identificar uma alta prevalncia de portadores da sndrome metablica. Desta forma, o estudo refora a necessidade da melhoria do acompanhamento destes pacientes, visando ao controle metablico e reduo da distribuio de gordura corporal, buscando evitar as complicaes que acompanham o diabetes, assim como a implantao de programas de interveno e educao atravs do PSF, com finalidade de reduzir o nus do sistema pblico

Constraints on the χ_(c1) versus χ_(c2) polarizations in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

The polarizations of promptly produced χ_(c1) and χ_(c2) mesons are studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at √s=8  TeV. The χ_c states are reconstructed via their radiative decays χ_c → J/ψγ, with the photons being measured through conversions to e⁺e⁻, which allows the two states to be well resolved. The polarizations are measured in the helicity frame, through the analysis of the χ_(c2) to χ_(c1) yield ratio as a function of the polar or azimuthal angle of the positive muon emitted in the J/ψ → μ⁺μ⁻ decay, in three bins of J/ψ transverse momentum. While no differences are seen between the two states in terms of azimuthal decay angle distributions, they are observed to have significantly different polar anisotropies. The measurement favors a scenario where at least one of the two states is strongly polarized along the helicity quantization axis, in agreement with nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics predictions. This is the first measurement of significantly polarized quarkonia produced at high transverse momentum

A Roadmap for HEP Software and Computing R&D for the 2020s

Particle physics has an ambitious and broad experimental programme for the coming decades. This programme requires large investments in detector hardware, either to build new facilities and experiments, or to upgrade existing ones. Similarly, it requires commensurate investment in the R&D of software to acquire, manage, process, and analyse the shear amounts of data to be recorded. In planning for the HL-LHC in particular, it is critical that all of the collaborating stakeholders agree on the software goals and priorities, and that the efforts complement each other. In this spirit, this white paper describes the R&D activities required to prepare for this software upgrade.Peer reviewe
