On the motivations for Merleau-Ponty’s ontological research

This paper attempts to clarify Merleau-Ponty’s later work by tracing a hitherto overlooked set of concerns that were of key consequence for the formulation of his ontological research. I argue that his ontology can be understood as a response to a set of problems originating in reflections on the intersubjective use of language in dialogue, undertaken in the early 1950s. His study of dialogue disclosed a structure of meaning-formation and pointed towards a theory of truth (both recurring ontological topics) that post-Phenomenology premises could not account for. A study of dialogue shows that speakers’ positions are interchangeable, that speaking subjects are active and passive in varying degrees, and that the intentional roles of subjects and objects are liable to shift or ‘transgress’ themselves. These observations anticipate the concepts of ‘reversibility’ and ‘narcissism’, his later view of activity and passivity, and his later view of intentionality, and sharpened the need to adopt an intersubjective focus in ontological research

Design, Control, And Operation Of A Hybrid Electrical Generation System Based On Renewable Energy Sources

Around the word a significant number of villages may never have access to electricity due to their remoteness. For the people living in these isolated communities, access to renewable energy sources is the only solution to meet their energy needs. In these communes the electricity is mainly used for household purposes such as lighting. One of the main problems of such systems, located in isolated areas of difficult access, is the reliability. The coordination protection and operation, distribution network, inverters, control strategies, and maintenance are aspects that must be well designed to get a reliable system. Furthermore, in these applications the system should have the following features: expansion flexibility and robustness, high efficiency, and adequacy to operate in adverse environmental conditions. The results presented in this paper will address these problems with special attention to the control strategies, and system operation. The paper will present experimental results showing the robustness and viability of a pilot renewable hybrid electrical generation system in the Lençóis´s Island, northeast of Brazil

Cisto do Ducto Nasopalatino em Paciente do Sexo Feminino: Relato de Caso em Hospital de Referência no Nordeste do Brasil

Introduction: Although the etiology of NDC is uncertain, trauma and/or bacterial infection seem to contribute to its development. When the lesion develops in the final portion of the incisive canal and only in soft tissue, it is called an incisive papilla cyst. Clinical case: A 34-year-old female, leucoderma, RTAD patient was referred to the stomatology department of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) complaining of a bulging in the palate region, noticed after eating hot food, damaging the incisive papillae region up to the palatine torus. Discussion: A possible differential diagnosis for the nasopalatine duct cyst would be the median palatine cyst (MPC), which is a rare fissural cyst and is difficult to differentiate from the NPC. The MPC is characterized by a firm or floating swelling located in the midline of the hard palate, posterior to the incisive papilla, although the location can make the differentiation, there are cases where the NPC is located more posteriorly and the MPC is located more anteriorly. Conclusion: The nasopalatine duct cyst is considered to be the most common non-odontogenic cyst in the oral cavity and affects around 1% of the population. Despite its predilection for males, the patient in question was female and only noticed the appearance of the lesion after eating food with a high temperature, which could have drawn her attention to it.Introdução: Embora a etiologia do CDN seja incerta, um trauma e/ou uma infecção bacteriana parecem contribuir com seu desenvolvimento. Quando a lesão é desenvolvida na porção final do canal incisivo e apenas em tecido mole, é chamada de cisto da papila incisiva. Caso clínico: Paciente RTAD, gênero feminino, 34 anos, leucoderma, foi encaminhada ao serviço de estomatologia da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), com queixa de abaulamento na região do palato, percebido após a ingestão de alimento quente, lesionando região de papilas incisivas até o tórus palatino. Discussão: Um possível diagnóstico diferencial para o cisto do ducto nasopalatino seria o cisto palatino mediano (CPM), que é um cisto fissural raro e é difícil diferenciá-lo do CDN, o CPM caracteriza-se por uma tumefação firme ou flutuante localizado na linha média do palato duro, posteriormente à papila incisiva, apesar da localização poder realizar a diferenciação, existem casos que o CDN localiza-se mais posteriormente e o CPM localiza-se mais anteriormente. Conclusão: O cisto do ducto nasopalatino é considerado o cisto não odontogênico mais comum da cavidade oral e atinge cerca de 1% da população, apesar da predileção pelo sexo masculino, a paciente em questão era do sexo feminino e apenas notou o aparecimento da lesão após a ingestão de alimento com temperatura elevada que pôde chamar a atenção da mesma, dessa forma é notório que nem sempre o CDN será de fácil suspeita pelo paciente em seus estágios iniciais
