Este articulo se propone explicitar los vinculos entre el pensamiento teologico, sociologico y politico de Jacques Ellul, a traves del estudio de su concepcion de la historia. A partir de su comentario del « Eclesiastes », mostraremos que el pensamiento elluliano distingue tres temporalidades : la del hombre, la de la naturaleza y la de Dios. Ellul descarta la idea de progreso intrinseco del hombre y de su historia, y le otorga el origen y la finalidad de la historia a la trascendencia. Consecuentemente, segun su relacion con la trascendencia, el hombre podra o no inscribirse en el sentido de la historia. Esto implica no solo una valorizacion del presente, sino que tambien una radicalizacion de la accion politica. Quitandole al hombre su responsabilidad historica final, Ellul propone acercarse de la anarquia como doctrina politica luchando asi radicalmente contra todo poder y toda dominacion.
2018, Escepticismo ético y esperanza en la obra de Enrique Santos Discépolo
Resultado de Investigación sobre el problema del escepticismo y la esperanza en E. Santos Discépolo, a quien generalmente no se lo considera un poeta y filósofo del tango.

La esperanza no [pertenece] a la agresividad ni de la certidumbre ni de la duda, en cuanto que la una como la otra hunden sus raices en los recursos del propio yo, del "moi obturateur". La esperanza, al contrario, es una afirmacion (intrepida, infantil), o una "assurance prophetique", que saca sus fuerzas de la comunion interpersonal. "Afirmacion" es el termino que emplea Marcel preferentemente para referirse al mundo del ser, del misterio, o —como en este caso— de la esperanza.
In this paper I want to show the link between political philosophy and philosophical anthropology in Schopenhauer’s work. First of all, I deal briefly with the Schopenhauerian anthropological pessimism, his negative view of human nature that affects his political philosophy, aimed at the criticism of selfishness. In order to achieve this, I focus on the main bulwark against this selfishness, that is, the State, which is for Schopenhauer an institution dedicated to protect the individuals. For this reason, I try to show the link of his philosophy with modern contractualism and liberalism. then I introduce the form of government defended by Schopenhauer, monarchy, to emphasise the continuity of his political thought. Finally, I deal with Carl Schmitt’s criticism of Schopenhauer’s philosophy of right and the relationship between anthropology and politics that Schmitt himself presents in The Concept of the Political. In the conclusion, I try to show that Schopenhauer’s political philosophy can be described as a sui generis liberalism.

En este artículo de reflexión se aborda una categoría que es conocida por los pensadores de República Dominicana: el pesimismo. Según el pesimismo filosófico, el hombre vive en el peor de los mundos posibles; la naturaleza humana se inclina hacia el mal y la vida social nos envilece. El existencialismo concibe el pesimismo como una actitud desde la cual juzgamos el mundo. Se muestra que la evolución social dominicana ha engendrado tres tipos de pesimismos: el del pueblo llano, el de la pequeña burguesía, y el de los intelectuales. El pesimismo de José Ramón López es el propio de los letrados del siglo XIX, por tanto, pre-tende la sistematización y el fundamento racional de sus ideas. El análisis muestra que los rasgos propios de la identidad cultural dominicana se caracterizan por la ausencia de cohesión social, la escasa conciencia política y el personalismo caudillista; mientras que los indicadores de desarrollo social son el atraso capitalista, la carencia de ideologías políticas...
En El Nacimiento de la Tragedia Nietzsche indica que en el pensamiento socrático están presentes tres axiomas del espíritu optimista: “la sabiduría es la virtud; se peca solo por ignorancia; el hombre virtuoso es el hombre feliz”. Existe una difundida valoración según la cual la filosofía platónica constituye también un “ejemplo de optimismo difícilmente superado históricamente, ni incluso por las interpretaciones más favorables de la teología cristiana”. Sin embargo, existen múltiples dimensiones en las que la postura platónica se inclina al pesimismo. Pretendemos mostrar que, mientras en diálogos como la República Platón entiende que la razón es lo más noble del alma, que la virtud está relacionada al conocimiento y que solo a partir de éste es posible una vida feliz, al mismo tiempo, en notable contraste con su maestro, adjudica importantes limitaciones a la parte racional y no parece creer en su capacidad de alterar el fondo moral del individuo. Con fundamento en esta “desconfianza”, defenderemos que Platón pregona una posición que, si no merece ser denominada pesimista, por lo menos es digna de ser excluida del ámbito del optimismo ingenuo. * Abstract: In The birth of Tragedy Nietzsche indicates that in Socrates´ thought we can find three basic axioms of the optimistic spirit: that knowledge is virtue, that no one does wrong willingly and that the virtuous man is the happy man. There is a common interpretation according to which Plato´s philosophy adhere to these maxims, constituting “a system of optimism which has hardly been surpassed - even by the most favourable interpretations of Christian theology”. However, there are multiple dimensions in which the platonic position inclines to pessimism. We intend to show that even if we accept that in dialogs like Republic Plato understands, like Socrates, that reason is the noblest element in the soul, that virtue is intrinsically related to knowledge and that it´s only due to knowledge that a happy life is possible to human being, we will have to accept, as well, that in great contrast to his master he points out several limitations to the rational capacity and doesn´t seem to believe in its capability to change the moral background of individuals. We will state that this “mistrust” is enough to exclude Plato´s position from the field of ingenuous optimism.

Eduard von Hartmann (1842-1906) fue uno de los pensadores alemanes más leídos de su tiempo y el protagonista de la controversia sobre el pesimismo, acaecida a finales del siglo XIX. Su obra, contra la que se alzaron en rebelión multitud de escandalizados literatos, teólogos, filósofos y científicos, y a la que se aplicaron otros muchos, como Nietzsche o Freud, inauguró una nueva etapa en el devenir filosófico de Alemania. Para Hartmann, este es el mejor de los mundos posibles, pero, añade, eso no significa que sea bueno, pues se encuentra bajo la férula de la Voluntad, cuya manifestación no trasluce sino eterna insatisfacción. El dolor, y no el placer, es el prius del universo. El pesimismo, que tiene en consideración esta situación y propone, como objetivo vital, una reducción del padecimiento llevada con aplomo y humor, es el único consuelo que le queda a la humanidad.

La teoría educativa de Rousseau debe ser evaluada con ciertos cuidados, ya que está enmarcada dentro de un sistema complejo, donde las aristas antropológicas, morales y políticas forman un todo. El hombre natural no ha desaparecido por completo, aunque sí haya acontecido eso con el estado de naturaleza puro. La llamada de la naturaleza pervive en él. Es a ese hombre que hay que educar, sea para convivir de forma fraterna con sus pares, sea para vivir lo más cerca posible de aquel llamado de la naturaleza a pesar de no lograrse la construcción de una comunidad rousseauniana. Ahora bien, ¿qué es lo que plantea este autor en materia educativa? ¿Tiene que ver con teoría de la enseñanza? ¿Apunta al conocimiento, al saber, a la verdad o a ninguno de ellos? ¿Qué es lo que hay de revolucionario en estos escritos, si es que lo hay?

espanolUno de los aspectos mas complejos de la obra literaria que la critica ha de dilucidar es la relacion entre ficcion y realidad. Para ello, es necesario desentranar el modo en que los mismos se vinculan en los textos, como se asimilan, se distancian o, incluso, se confunden. De esta conexion depende el grado de credibilidad que el lector le otorgue a la obra en cuestion. Este trabajo tiene como fin analizar la verosimilitud en la primera novela de Leopoldo Marechal, Adan Buenosayres (1948), donde la union entre ficcion y realidad se ofrece de manera conflictiva, tanto a nivel de contenido (que oscila entre el realismo y lo fantastico), como formal (como se presenta la trama argumental). EnglishOne aspect of literary creation that critics find particularly complex and difficult to define is the relationship between fiction and reality. It is an area that can only be addressed by carefully unravelling fictitious and real-life elements within texts, and analysing how they converge...

Bone's microporosity plays important roles in bone biology and bone mechanical quality. In this study, we explored the accuracy and reproducibility of nondestructive desktop μCT for 3D visualization and subsequent morphometric analysis of mouse cortical bone microporosity including the vascular canal network and osteocyte lacunae. The accuracy of measurements was evaluated in five murine fibula using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in conjunction with Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) staining as the reference method. The reproducibility of μCT-derived cortical bone microstructural indices was examined in 10 fibulae of C57Bl/6J male mice at a nominal resolution of 700 nanometer. Three repeated measurements were made on different days. An excellent correlation between μCT and CLSM was observed for both mean lacuna volume (r = 0.98, p = 0.002) and for mean lacuna orientation (r = 0.93, p = 0.02). Whereas the two techniques showed no significant differences for these para...

What explains legislative effectiveness in multiparty presidential systems? We explore the role of the president in a multiparty legislature without a majority party and develop several theoretical expectations regarding ties to the president's party, the role of opposition parties, and the importance of controlling certain committees to explain legislative effectiveness. Drawing upon data from the Mexican Chamber of Deputies and a new measure of legislative effectiveness adaptable to other legislatures, we argue that legislators who share partisanship with the president are often constrained by the executive branch. Thus, legislators from governing parties are generally less effective when it comes to their own legislative initiatives. Deputies from opposition parties do not face these same restrictions, and consequently, are generally more effective at navigating their own proposals through the legislative process. These findings extend to the committee level.

Chronic nitric oxide (NO) inhibition and salt overload (HS) promote severe hypertension and renal injury, which regress quickly, although not completely, on treatment withdrawal. We investigated whether renal function and structure remain stable 6 mo after cessation of these treatments. Adult male Munich-Wistar rats were distributed among three groups: HS, receiving 3.1% Na diet; HS+N, receiving HS and the NO inhibitor Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 30 mg·kg−1·day−1 orally); and HS+N+L, receiving HS+N and the ANG II blocker losartan (L; 50 mg·kg−1·day−1 orally). In studies performed after 20 days of treatment ( protocol 1), HS+N rats exhibited severe glomerular and systemic hypertension, massive albuminuria, glomerular and interstitial injury, and infiltration by macrophages and cells expressing ANG II. These abnormalities were largely prevented in the HS+N+L group. A second cohort ( protocol 2) received HS+N for 20 days, followed by a conventional (0.5% Na) diet and no l...

Oxidants including reactive oxygen species have been indicated to play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma. We investigated oxidative status in patients with acute exacerbations of asthma and evaluated the therapeutic response using the D-ROM test which is simple to use and quick. We measured reactive oxygen metabolite (ROM) levels in the serum of 42 outpatients with acute exacerbations of asthma, 11 outpatients with stable asthma and 40 healthy subjects using the D-ROM test. Seven inpatients admitted due to acute exacerbations of asthma were also enrolled to evaluate the effects of treatment. Serum eosinophil cationic protein and plasma polymorphonuclear elastase were also measured by EIA or ELISA to evaluate the correlation between inflammation and oxidative status. Serum ROM levels were significantly higher in patients with acute exacerbation of asthma than in patients with stable asthma or healthy subjects. Levels of serum eosinophil cationic protein and plasma polym...

A set of 96 common bean genotypes were characterized using 25 candidate gene based SSR markers associated with yield traits. Twenty three SSR markers were found polymorphic and their discriminatory power estimation was performed on the basis of PIC, resolving power and marker index that mainly explain ability of molecular markers to distinguish genotypes. An average of 0.33 PIC was observed where highest value was exhibited by the primer BM184. The primers BM170 and Bmd8 generated four alleles whereas BM170 showed maximum marker index of 1.28 and highest resolving power of 1.89 was found in case of primer BM180. Further, the genotypes were grouped in three major clusters based on DARwin5 software. High level of genetic diversity observed within the genotypes could be used to accelerate genetic improvement of germplasm in common bean targeting yield attributing traits.

Quality of life (QoL) is a core patient-reported outcome in healthcare research, alongside primary clinical outcomes. A conceptual, operational, and psychometric elaboration of QoL in the context of TM is needed, because standardized instruments to assess QoL do not sufficiently represent essential aspects of intended outcomes of telemedical applications (TM). The overall aim is to develop an instrument that can adequately capture QoL in TM. For that purpose, an extended working model of QoL will be derived. Subsequently, an instrument will be developed and validated that captures those aspects of QoL that are influenced by TM. The initial exploratory study section includes (a) a systematic literature review, (b) a qualitative survey for concept elicitation, and (c) pre-testings using cognitive debriefings with patients and an expert workshop. The second quantitative section consists of an online expert survey and two patient surveys for piloting and validation of the newly develope...

Mobile broadband networks are continuously faced with the challenge of limited resources due to the increasing demand for high speed Internet services. To manage these resources, call admission control (CAC) which determines whether or not a connection request should be accepted or rejected is one of the resource management techniques usually deployed. A Dynamic QoS-aware CAC algorithm was recently proposed to improve resource utilization. However, the algorithm detects congestion of the network only after it has occurred, which leads to increase in blocking probability and thus lead to reduction in throughput. In this paper, a congestion control call admission control (CC-CAC) algorithm is proposed to reduce call blocking and increase throughput of all connection classes. The CC-CAC employs a congestion control mechanism that regulates the base station buffer to operate at a target threshold. It also employs a dynamic bandwidth degradation mechanism to degrade the resources of the ...

O trabalho estuda o efeito da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (LRF) sobre as finanças públicas dos municípios alagoanos. Fez-se a opção de trabalhar um referencial teórico menos formalista e mais crítico em relação à instauração da nova legislação. Na metodologia, manuseamos informações e dados disponíveis pela Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional, levantando estatísticas sobre aqueles municípios. Com base em índices de desempenho e capacidade fiscal, confirmou-se, no geral, o sucesso das pretensões da LRF no período 2000-10. Os cálculos indicam que esses limites foram alcançados, mas verificou-se que não garantem equilíbrio fiscal no longo prazo. Concluímos que o conceito de responsabilidade fiscal precisa ser rediscutido e essa condição não garante aos municípios capacidade de alocação e distribuição de recursos de forma mais eficiente, no quadro de mudanças rotineiras na política econômica nacional.

Objective:Puerto Rican children suffer disproportionately from asthma. Project CURA tested the efficacy of a community health worker (CHW) intervention to improve use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and reduce home asthma triggers in Puerto Rican youth in Chicago.Methods:The study employed a behavioral randomized controlled trial design with a community-based participatory research approach. Medications and technique were visually assessed; adherence was determined using dose counters. Home triggers were assessed via self-report, visual inspection, and salivary cotinine. All participants received education on core asthma topics and self-management skills. Participants in the CHW arm were offered home education by the CHW in four visits over four months. The attention control arm received four newsletters covering the same topics.Results:While most of the participants had uncontrolled persistent asthma, < 50% had ICS at baseline. In the CHW arms, 67% of participants received the full 4-visit intervention. In the Elementary School Cohort (n=51), the CHW arm had lower odds of having an ICS (OR=0.2; p=0.02) at 12-months; no differences were seen in other outcomes between arms at any time point. The only significant treatment arm difference in the High School Cohort (n=50) was in inhaler technique where the CHW arm performed 18.0% more steps correct at 5-months (p <0.01) and 14.2% more steps correct at 12-months (p<0.01).Conclusions:While this CHW intervention did not increase the number of participants with ICS or reduce home asthma triggers, important lessons were learned that inform future investigations of the real-life effectiveness of CHW asthma interventions.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing for cementitious materials such as concrete has become increasingly popular. Numerous research efforts have been undertaken to fabricate structural elements, such as beams, using 3D-printed concrete. Because the behavior of 3D-printed reinforced concrete (RC) beams is not well understood, research in this area is still ongoing to investigate the behavior and compare it with conventional RC beams. In this paper, the results of an analytical study using finite element software on 3D-printed RC beams are presented. The main challenge was to determine a constitutive material model of the 3D-printed concrete for nonlinear analysis that was quite different from normal concrete. The developed model was validated using the results from several past experimental tests on 3D-printed RC beams. The results showed that the analytical model can accurately predict the maximum flexural strengths of the 3D-printed RC beams. However, the analytical model overestimated ...
