Políticas de Reconhecimento e Identidade a partir de Charles Taylor e Nancy Fraser

O presente artigo tem como objetivo articular um diálogo entre as propostas de Charles Taylor e Nancy Fraser acerca das políticas de reconhecimento e identidade. Nesta tarefa, apresentamos a ligação fundamental que Charles Taylor estabelece entre identidade e reconhecimento, a partir de uma dimensão dialógica que privilegia o contato significativo com os outros. Posteriormente, discutimos a concepção de um modelo de status como alternativa ao modelo de identidade na proposta de Nancy Fraser, que compreende o reconhecimento como uma questão de justiça desvinculada de avaliações éticas. Por fim, são contrastadas as concepções de reconhecimento de ambos os pensadores em relação à centralidade da identidade e autorrealização nas políticas de reconhecimento, destacando como as críticas de Fraser a Taylor desconsideram a dimensão intersubjetiva da concepção de identidade do filósofo canadense

Aristote et le dualisme de la fin dans Physique II

Résumé : Dans cette étude, nous proposons une relecture du passage de Physique II, 2, 194a 27 - 194b 9 d’Aristote concernant l’argumentation qui vise à établir la dépendance de la matière à l’égard de la finalité dans les processus naturels. À partir d’une discussion sur la traduction d’un extrait, 194a 32-36, et de la mise en lumière de la notion de dualisme de la cause finale, nous verrons comment Aristote présente sa téléologie naturelle selon un processus duel, déterminée non seulement par son aboutissement dans une nouvelle forme naturelle, mais encore dans sa mise en usage par une fonction spécifique

ALASDAIR MACINTYRE E CHARLES TAYLOR: duas leituras sobre a modernidade

Este trabalho tem como objetivo articular uma discussão entre o pensamento de Charles Taylor e Alasdair MacIntyre acerca da modernidade. Nessa tarefa, apresentamos o exame tayloriano em relação à constituição e deslocamento do self moderno especialmente a partir da obra “As Fontes do Self”. Logo após, discutimos como MacIntyre, em “Depois da Virtude”, compreende o emotivismo enquanto doutrina filosófica, pontuando as críticas que o autor escocês direciona ao eu moderno. Por fim, articulamos uma relação entre as principais críticas desses dois filósofos em relação à modernidade e aos sujeitos que dela emergiram, bem como apresentar as relações entre suas visões no tocante à concepção de telos como horizonte moral.ALASDAIR MACINTYRE E CHARLES TAYLOR: Duas leituras sobre a modernidad

Risk factors for fractures in type 2 diabetic with chronic kidney disease stage: the saints and the sinners

Since the population in the developed world is aging, the burden offragility fractures is aconstantly increasing problem. Despite the fact that potent bone-specific pharmaceutical agents have become available, the problem of how to identify patients with high fracture risk yet remains an enigma. Some studies mention the role of a normal mineral metabolism is critical for skeletal development and preservation of bone integrity. The aim of this study isto investigate the association of mineralmetabolism with hip fractures in type 2 diabetic with chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Angels and demons regarding cardiovascular disease in diabetic renal patients: the role of FGF-23 Andklotho on the pulse pressure

The last decade have shown thatFGF23 and Klotho may have relevant independent actions on the renal and cardiovascular systems. Theyinterfere with vascular functions and may playa role in vascularcalcification, atherosclerosis and arteriolosclerosis. On the other hand, pulse pressureis awell-known risk factorof cardiovascular morbidityand mortality in renal patients. The aim of this study isto investigate the relationship between FGF-23 and Klothowith pulse pressure in type 2 diabetic with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 2-3

Determinants of gingival recessions in Portuguese adults

Objectives: The objective of this study consisted in determining the prevalence of gingival recession and potential risk factors associated in a sample of patients that had a dental appointment in the University Clinic of the Portuguese Catholic University in Viseu, Portugal. Methods: We conducted an epidemiological observational cross-sectional study where a sample of 101 patients was assessed. The participants were subjected to a questionnaire and an intra-oral clinical examination was made in order to assess gingival recessions. Results: The prevalence of recession was 85.1%. The presence of habits and a high plaque index are associated with the onset of recessions and its severity. The aesthetic condition was influenced only in 14.0% of the cases and just 17.4% of the patients with gingival recession had tooth hipersensibility. There is a stronger association between the development of recessions and using a brushing technique based mostly on horizontal movements and brushes with harder bristles. Conclusion: Although further studies need to be applied in a more representative sample, we conclude that the majority of the analyzed sample has already suitable oral health behaviors, however, some need to be modified as the understanding of the need to change certain habits to prevent development of recessions.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Gla-rich protein (GRP) as an early and novel marker of vascular calcification and kidney dysfunction in diabetic patients with CKD: a pilot cross-sectional study

Vascular calcification (VC) is one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. New diagnostic/prognostic tools are required for early detection of VC allowing interventional strategies. Gla-rich protein (GRP) is a cardiovascular calcification inhibitor, whose clinical utility is here highlighted. The present study explores, for the first time, correlations between levels of GRP in serum with CKD developmental stage, mineral metabolism markers, VC and pulse pressure (PP), in a cohort of 80 diabetic patients with mild to moderate CKD (stages 2-4). Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a positive association of GRP serum levels with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and α-Klotho, while a negative correlation with phosphate (P), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), vascular calcification score (VCS), PP, calcium (x) phosphate (CaxP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6). Serum GRP levels were found to progressively decrease from stage 2 to stage 4 CKD. Multivariate analysis identified low levels of eGFR and GRP, and high levels of FGF-23 associated with both the VCS and PP. These results indicate an association between GRP, renal dysfunction and CKD-mineral and bone disorder. The relationship between low levels of GRP and vascular calcifications suggests a future, potential utility for GRP as an early marker of vascular damage in CKD.Portuguese Society of Nephrology (SPN) ; Portuguese national funds from FCT-Foundation for Science and Technology through the transitional provision DL57/2016/CP1361/CT0006 UIDB/04326/2020info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Aprendizagem e comportamento social: uma análise diante dos conflitos inerentes a fase da adolescência.

Este estudo visa apontar dados e reflexões sobre os conflitos que os adolescentes enfrentam passando seu comportamento social pelo desenvolvimento na aprendizagem que repercutem diretamente no cotidiano escolar e assim auxiliar profissionais da educação e estudiosos para que conheçam a finco essa fase do desenvolvimento humano e saibam da necessidade de se dar a devida atenção aos adolescentes de hoje sempre buscando auxilio de meios mais precisos. Tivemos como base teórico-metodológica discussões da Psicopedagogia como eixo para compreensão dos dados no tocante às análises de objetos de estudo concernentes ao contexto educacional. Além da pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, utilizando como instrumento a entrevista com professores, demonstrando as suas opiniões a cerca do tema. Em estudo, também, estiveram reflexões de Libanêo (1994), Collins (2004) e Weiss (2004). This study aims to point data and reflections on conflicts that adolescents face through their social behavior by developing learning that directly affect the daily school and so assist education professionals and scholars to know the nail that stage of human development and know the need to give due attention to teens today always seeking help of more accurate means. We as a theoretical and methodological basis of discussions psychoeducation as an axis for understanding the data concerning the analysis of objects of study concerning the educational context. In addition to the literature field research was carried out using as a tool the interview with teachers, showing their opinions about the topic. In a study, too, they were reflections of Libâneo (1994), Collins (2004) and Weiss (2004).

Immunogenetic features of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome and focal segmental glomeru losclerosis in Brazilian patients of the northeast region of the state of São Paulo

A síndrome nefrótica corticossensível (SNCS) e a glomerulonefrite esclerosante segmentar e focal (GESF) compartilham características imunológicas e patogênicas. Foram estudados 93 pacientes brasileiros (46 com SNCS e 47 com GESF) e 104 indivíduos-controle, para caracterizar os perfis imunogenéticos dessas variedades de síndromes nefróticas idiopáticas. Os antígenos HLA-A, -B e –DR foram tipificados, usando-se método sorológico. Embora nenhuma associação com os antígenos HLA-A ou –B fosse observada, as freqüências dos antígenos HLAB7 e –B12 estavam significantemente elevadas nos pacientes com SNCS. Os antígenos HLADR7, HLA-DR1 e a combinação de antígenos HLA-DR1/DR7 estavam significantemente elevados nos pacientes com SNCS, em relação aos indivíduos-controle, ou em relação aos pacientes com GESF. A avaliação somente de pacientes caucasóides revelou que o antígeno HLA-DR7 continuava elevado nos pacientes com SNCS. O haplótipo HLA-B7/DR7 estava significantemente elevado nos pacientes com SNCS e GESF. Embora a população brasileira seja altamente miscigenada, a freqüência do antígeno HLA-DR7, que confere susceptibilidade a SNCS em outras populações, estava também elevada na série de pacientes caucasóides aqui estudada.Steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGC) share immunologic and pathogenetic features. We studied 93 Brazilian patients (46 with SSNS and 47 with FSGC) and 104 control subjects with the objective of characterizing the immunogenetic profile of these varieties of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. HLA-A, -B, and -DR antigens were typed using a complement-dependent microlymphocytotoxicity assay. No significanty association was observed with HLA-A or -B antigens in either group; however, HLA-B7 and -B12 antigens were increased in SSNS patients. HLA-DR7, -DR1 and the combination of HLA-DR1/DR7 antigens were significantly increased in the total group of patients with SSNS compared to controls or to FGSC patients. The study of only Caucasoid individuals revealed that HLA-DR7 antigen remained significantly increased in SSNS patients. The HLA-B7/DR7 haplotype was siginificantly increased in both SSNS and FSGC patients. Although the Brazilian population is highly miscigenated, the same antigen (HLA-DR7) which confers susceptibility to SSNS in other Caucasian population is still prevalent in this series
