The concept of «scandal» played a crucial role in the administration of justice and the maintenance of social order. Scandal, understood as more than just public disorder, included any act that destabilized social harmony and went against collective morality or religious beliefs. Sexual crimes, for example, were prosecuted not only for the individual harm caused but also for their social impact, turning them into a matter of public interest. This approach reflects how scandal was not merely a matter of personal conduct, but a public order concern, affecting the social perception of authority and social stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to address the issue of interculturality from the point of view of everyday life, as the preferred place of interaction between subjects coming from different cultures. The aim is to show that such interaction is essentially conflictive. This conflictuality, typical of everyday intercultural encounters, will show its paradoxical character insofar as it exhibits, together with its evident negative side, a positive one. The negative side is given by the existence of a hostility that can escalate to violence, in the sense of injury or harm that provokes victims. The positive side is related to the fact that conflict has the potential to be a source of learning and growth, since it can contribute to diminishing both fear and error, which are at the origin of much of the hostility.

The paper addresses the concepts of compassion and responsibility from a specific view of the legal ethics of vulnerability. The study examines both concepts from an ethical and legal point of view to advocate for a vision of responsibility as an epistemic tool to rethink end-of-life care. The paper is divided into six parts: 1) an analysis of the legal ethics of vulnerability raised in the paper, 2) the role of this legal ethics is analyzed in the face of changes in medical ethics, 3) the concept of suffering is examined in the context of human rights, 4) compassion against the different in legal ethics, 5) responsibility as a value and principle at the end of life, 6) it draws some conclusions.

Violence is the founder of a hierarchical, unequal and divided society, which affects some social groups more than others: the practices of violence will be inserted into a network of domination of various types: class, gender, ethnicity, by social category or by the forms of symbolic violence, which result in the manufacture of a network of possibly overlapping exclusions. We intend to investigate the social and intellectual manufacture of violence as a social norm in late modernity. This sociological path led us to the construction of the intellectual field "Violence, security and society". We develop the analysis of some discourses and practices that constitute this intellectual field. To this end, we describe the modalities of violence and its manifestations: violence against children and adolescents; the criminalisation of the drug user; the territoriality and the owners of the place; the possible militarisation of security; also the proposal of the massacre as a sociological object. In sum, it would be possible to think about the construction of a transnational or world citizenship, marked by institutional creation and the dissemination and communication of innovative social, legal and symbolic practices. On the one hand, the reinvention of forms of solidarity; on the other hand, the redefinition of work in multiple social relationships, both in rural and urban areas; finally, the prevention and eradication of forms of social violence.

Thrasymachus' argument in Plato's Republic I on justice and "the just" [man] and their opposites - injustice and "the unjust" [man] - has been subjected to a large number of interpretations. Our objectives here are: 1. to understand how on the basis the definition of justice as "the advantage of the stronger" (338c, 339a, 344c) injustice comes to be seen as "stronger, freer and more masterful than justice" (344c); 2. to read Plato's criticism of this argument as a warning about the danger of using the law to promote the abuse of Power.

This work aims to present the rhetoric in general, and the cultural rhetoric in particular as a current discipline of discourse study, and therefore, transferable to the field of teaching Spanish as a foreign language (SFL). One of the communicative skills worked on SFL is the reading comprehension, for which the contributions of cultural rhetoric such as poliacroasis, and rhetorical Reading, as a reconstruction of the rhetorical context, in the adequate interpretation of the text are considered appropriate tools in teacher training and teaching practice. For this purpose, we will analyse a small selection of opinion pieces about the political and social situation in Catalonia in the latter part of the year 2017, written by the Spanish journalist Jordi Évole.

This research aimed to identify the social representations among professionals enrolled in the Family Strategy Program (PEF) about LGBT old age. It counted with 50 professionals from the Brazilian states of Ceará and Piauí, mostly women 96% with an average age of 35.3 years (SD = 9.7). For the collection of data, we used a socio-demographic questionnaire and the question: How do you understand LGBT old age? Then, they were submitted to analysis in the software Iramuteq, by the descending hierarchical classification method (CHD) that originated 6 classes of semantic approximation. Socio-demographic data were analyzed by the SPSS software. In the results, it was found that the social representations surround the invisibility of LGBT elderly people. As well as negative prejudices and stereotypes related to sexual orientation. On the other hand, the social representations of professionals are directed to psychosocial aspects related to the process of senescence as a whole and to a happy and autonomous old age.

From the perspective of interculturalism, this paper analyzes the importance of the authentic tolerance as a necessary element for a better integration of minorities in the context of postliberal states. Tolerance is understood as an unavoidable requirement for an authentic development of an open society, linked to a concept of freedom that advocates an understanding on an equal footing between different cultures including minority ones. The methodology consists in developing the concept of tolerance in relation to minorities using multidisciplinary references. The article has been divided into four sections: In the first section, it analyzes the context of tolerance from the perspective of interculturalism. The second section explains the authentic tolerance as an element for the integration of minorities in open societies. The third section tries to offer answers to the tolerance-freedom pairing. Finally, the fourth section draws some conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article says we are in a hyper-technological world where everything is uncertain and relative within the context of extended modernity. This point of departure serves to analyze how radical capitalism and individualism have led to a decadent image of technological man, a situation that illustrates the triumph of materialism and the decline of cultural, ethical and legal values in relation to the understanding of transhumanism. Nowadays, the human being is an almost isolated man and human nature is liquid, which is why it is necessary to advocate a new concept, one that is more in line with respect for the human being and does not impoverish human relations. Hence, this view serves to establish a dialogue with postmodernism as resistance, according to Jesús Ballesteros; that is, as a form of struggle to respond to the injustice, inhumanity and progressive senselessness of today's world. A brief outline of a legal ethic of the weak is provided as well to serve as an alternative to the current technological image of man. It is a perception that seeks to provide a better form of humanity for future generations, from an ethical and legal point of view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFL) is a disease of a great importance for medical community for being considered the hepatic factor in metabolic syndrom, associated to dyslipidemia, obesity and diabetes mellitus. Theorically, oxidative stress has been considered as the determinant factor in its ehiopatogeny, originated from a lower antioxidant activity and the rise of prooxidant factors starting from hyperinsulinemia. In this research the diagnosis of fatty liver was made through: clinical and laboratory tests, ultrasound, NAFLD Score; besides the non traditional method Quantic Bioelectric System (QRS) which has an 85% sensibility that was verified through findings in laboratory and ultrasonographic tests. Research starts with a group of 28 patients who were diagnosed as NAFL through quantic system (QRS), and from this group there were 5 people selected and there were only 3 who met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects in research received supplements with 4 daily capsules for 6 months, and each one of them contained 13 antioxidants. As a result, a normal rate of clinical, biochemical and ultrasonographics parameters and bioelectrical quantic system from the subjects without diet or daily activities modifications.

Early development of fish larvae is a highly dynamic process and its study may provide important information about ontogenetic development, bioenergetic growth, behaviour, taxonomic characteristics for identification in natural environments, identification of spawning areas, and population monitoring. With the aim to provide knowledge about their growth and behaviour, to support larval rearing, and also taxonomic purposes, we studied the life history of the Prochilodus argenteus and P. costatus from hatching until the complete absorption of the yolk. Larvae were obtained through artificial reproduction at the Hydrobiology and Aquaculture Station of Três Marias, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Immediately after hatching, 100 larvae of each species were put in two plastic incubators for conditioning. On a daily basis, larvae behavior was recorded and 14 larvae of each species were collected to analyse body morphology. On the first day after hatching, larvae of P. costatus and P. argenteus showed an elongated and transparent body; the yolk sac was filled with individualized yolk globules. In both species, the embryonic fin rounded the caudal region of the body, the retina was non-pigmented and the gut was obliterated. At the second day post-hatching, larvae of both species dendritic chromatophores had emerged, the mouth was obliterated and the pectoral fin was observed. The larvae showed 38-43 myomeres in P. costatus and 42-43 in P. argenteus. For both species, the gas bladder was inflated and the lumen of the gut was already open. On the third day post-hatching, the mouth of P. costatus and P. argenteus was already open in a sub-terminal position; the retina was pigmented; the gill arches had lamellar protrusions and were partially covered by the operculum. On the fourth day post-hatching, the pigmentation pattern was maintained with greater intensity; the mouth occupied a terminal position, the yolk sac was almost completely reabsorbed, and the pectoral and caudal fins showed mesenchymal rays in both species. The gut showed a broad lumen with folded mucosa and epithelium with striated border. The larvae of both species showed similar swimming behaviour. Our study provided understanding about the morphophysiological aspects, species identification, larval development and growth, and the ontogenic characteristics of two Neotropical fishes with importance for commercial and sports fishing.

The author comments on the implementation of this technology in democratic political systems throughout the world and examines its influence on the democratic process. The ability to promote direct democratic processes through information and communication technologies is also explored.

Many studies have addressed the benefits of physical activity in elderly people. However, the physical activity models followed have not always taken into account the role of active participation. In general, these models have been mainly influenced by directive methodologies and emphasise physical training; these aspects offer greater group control and less organizational effort. The main aim of this study was to compare two physical activity programs for elderly people and determine their effect on mood, self-esteem, and enjoyment with physical activity. The study participants were 72 women between 55 years and 70 years (M = 64.10; DT = 9.40) from the municipalities of Arousa- Norte (Galicia, Spain). The results show that the supervised exercise programs benefitted the participants' psychological health, which differed according to the type of program. Thus, a unique physical exercise model cannot be endorsed in adulthood, because the role of the participants and the way they interact within exercise programs varies, leading to differing effects on health and therefore on everyday life. New multidimensional proposals should be developed that combine physical, mental, and social aspects within a movement-based approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is divided into five sections: 1) Philosophical and legal analysis of the memory after Auschwitz to understand the present returning to the past, so prudently look to the future in the rule of law. 2) Study of the consensus and language after the Second World War, understood the first as an overrated concept, but also as a necessary element to determine the law. 3) The starting point is the consensus after the postwar period set in the context of hate speech. It intends to justify the denial of Holocaust as a way to reconcile with our past. 4) Rethinking memory to understand the law across the past, and accomplish a reasonable present and authentic future. 5) Finally, the last part indicates some conclusions.
