Building Missionlogical Bridges in Japan

( Marcelo Reis Soares ),( Marcelo Eduardo Da Costa Dias ) 삼육대학교 선교와사회문제연구소 2018 Asia-Africa Journal of Mission and Ministry(AAMM) Vol.18 No.-

Although the first Japanese contact with Christianity happened in the 8^th century, this country still figures as one of the biggest missiological challenges. In 2018 the Seventh-day Adventist Church has elected Japan as one of its primary missionary contexts. Based on the understanding about the importance of critical contextualization for mission, this study intends to suggest elements to build missiological bridges between Christianity and Shintoism, the Japanese cultural religion. Shintoism, a syncretistic religion, has shaped the Japanese culture and worldview. The aim is to study the values of the Japanese culture connected with Shintoism and develop channels, so Christians can reveal the gospel in a contextual way. Cultural Anthropology provides tools that are especially relevant to develop the process of critical contextualization.

Dimensions of Smart Tourism and Its Levels: An Integrative Literature Review

Otowicz, Marcelo Henrique,Macedo, Marcelo,Biz, Alexandre Augusto Smart Tourism Research Center 2022 Journal of smart tourism Vol.2 No.1

Smart tourism is seen as a revolution in the tourism industry, involving innovative and transformative theoretical-practical approaches for the sector. As a result of its application in the tourist context, benefits can be seen such as more sustainable practices, greater mobility and better accessibility in destinations, evolution of processes and experiences of tourists. Much of this is achieved through the support of technological solutions. However, despite the immense expectations, and the many researches carried out on it, a literature summary regarding the dimensions that can be observed in each application of this smart tourism has not yet been proposed. Therefore, supported by the PRISMA recommendation, this research proposed to carry out an integrative review of the literature on smart tourism (in its different levels of application, such as the city, the destination and the smart tourism region), with the objective of mapping the dimensions that underlie it. Thus, from an initial scope of 833 intellectual productions obtained, inputs were found for the dimensions in 363 of them after a thorough analysis. The compilation of data obtained from these productions supported the proposition of 14 operational dimensions of smart tourism, namely: collaboration, technology, sustainability, experience, accessibility, knowledge management, innovation management, human capital, marketing, customized services, transparency, safety, governance and mobility. With this set of dimensions, it is envisaged that the implementation of smart tourism projects can present more comprehensive and assertive results. In addition, shortcomings and opportunities for new research that support the evolution of the theory and practice of smart tourism are highlighted.

Use of Magnetic Neurostimulator Appliance in Temporomandibular Disorder

Marcelo Rossiti Florian,Vera Lucia Rasera Zotelli,Maria da Luz Rosario de Sousa,Larissa Angelica Bachir Polloni 사단법인약침학회 2017 Journal of Acupuncture & Meridian Studies Vol.10 No.2

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is ranked the second leading cause of orofacial pain after toothache, and there is no effective standard treatment for all cases. Therefore, much research has been conducted in the therapeutic areas of TMD, such as acupuncture and electrotherapy, for this purpose. The aim of this research was to evaluate application of the neuromagnetic stimulator device Haihua model CD-9, used within the precepts of acupuncture in treating TMD-related pain symptoms and limited mouth opening. Analysis and discussion of this study were based on pain intensity index and range of mouthopening evaluation before and after each session. Nine patients diagnosed with muscle TMD, referred by the surgery sector of Center Dental Specialties (CEO e I) in Piracicaba- Sa˜o Paulo participated in this research. Considering the simplicity of the technique and good results obtained, use of this device is suggested as an additional therapeutic tool for relief of TMD symptoms.

100-Hz Electroacupuncture but not 2-Hz Electroacupuncture is Preemptive Against Postincision Pain in Rats

Marcelo Lourenço Silva,Josie Resende Torres Silva,Wiliam Alves Prado 사단법인약침학회 2016 Journal of Acupuncture & Meridian Studies Vol.9 No.4

Preemptive analgesia involves introducing an analgesic before noxious stimulation. Electroacupuncture (EA) activates descending mechanisms that modulate nociceptive inputs into the spinal dorsal horn. This study evaluated whether preoperative EA is more effective than postoperative EA in reducing incision pain in rats. The nociceptive threshold to mechanical stimulation was utilized to examine the effects of an intraperitoneal injection of saline (0.1 mL/kg) or naloxone (1 mg/kg) on antinociception induced by a 20-minute period of 2-Hz or 100-Hz EA applied to the Zusanli (ST36) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupoints before surgical incision, or 10 minutes after or 100 minutes after surgical incision of the hind paw. The extent of mechanical hyperalgesia after the incision was significantly attenuated by the application of 100-Hz EA preoperatively, but not by its application at 10 minutes or 100 minutes postoperatively. By contrast, 2-Hz EA was effective against postoperative hyperalgesia when applied 10 minutes or 100 minutes after surgery but not when it was applied preoperatively. Only the effect of 2-Hz EA applied 10 minutes after surgery was sensitive to naloxone. The present study showed for the first time that 100-Hz EA, but not 2-Hz EA, exerts a nonopioidergic preemptive effect against postincision pain in rats.

Modelling Anti-inflationary Monetary Targeting in Romania

Marcelo Snchez 한국국제경제학회 2011 International Economic Journal Vol.25 No.1

This paper characterises Romania's experience with anti-inflationary monetary targeting over the period 1999-2005 prior to the country's switch to inflation targeting. We uncover the National Bank of Romania's preferences, conditional on an estimated macro-model. We find that Romania's monetary targeting regime can be characterised by a concern for price stability and an additional role for smoothing of the central bank's instrument (base money growth). Exchange rate variability and output gap stability appear not to significantly enter the National Bank of Romania's objective function.

Modeling and Control of Integrated STATCOM-SMES System to Improve Power System Oscillations Damping

Marcelo G. Molina,Pedro E. Mercado 대한전기학회 2008 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.3 No.4

Primary frequency control (PFC) has the ability to regulate short period random variations of frequency during normal operation conditions and also to respond rapidly to emergencies. However, during the past decade, numerous significant sized blackouts occurred worldwide that resulted in serious economic losses. Therefore, the conclusion has been reached that the ability of the current PFC to meet an emergency is poor, and security of power systems should be improved. An alternative to enhance the PFC and thus security is to store excessive amounts of energy during off-peak load periods in efficient energy storage systems for substituting the primary control reserve. In this sense, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) in combination with a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is capable of supplying power systems with both active and reactive powers simultaneously and very rapidly, and thus is able to enhance the security dramatically. In this paper, a new concept of PFC based on incorporating a STATCOM-SMES is presented. A complete detailed model is proposed and a new control scheme is designed, comprising an enhanced frequency control scheme, and a fully decoupled current control strategy in d-q coordinates with a novel controller to prevent de bus capacitors voltage drift/imbalance. The performance of the proposed control schemes is validated through digital simulation carried out using MATLAB/Simulink.

Joining a Monetary Union: Stabilisation Costs Versus Stabilisation Bias

( Marcelo Sanchez ) 세종대학교 경제통합연구소(구 세종대학교 국제경제연구소) 2011 Journal of Economic Integration Vol.26 No.1

Currency union participation may create a welfare tradeoff relating to monetary factors. Stabilisation costs arise from asymmetric shocks across the union. Countries pursuing discretionary national monetary policies benefit from a committed common central bank, which eliminates Svensson`s(1997) stabilisation bias. Currency union membership is favoured by greater price stability focus and commitment of the common central bank, nominal flexibility, and business cycle synchronisation. Monetary union stabilisation performance also improves with lower variability and persistence of cost-push shocks - the latter feature being detectable only for persistence. The degree of monetary policy robustness to parameter uncertainty has somewhat less clear-cut implications.

Is Time Ripe for a Currency Union in Emerging East Asia?: The Role of Monetary Stabilization

Marcelo Schez 세종대학교 경제통합연구소 2006 Journal of Economic Integration Vol.21 No.4

This paper asseses the prospects for monetary integration between EmergingEast Asian (EA) economies. We develop a simple analytical framework forcurrency unions of small open economies. The empirical analysis looks at anumber of supply-side characteristics of EEA countries highlighted by the model,distinguishing betwen aggregate and tradable sector structural features.Moreover, we discuss the evidence on the cross-country correlation ofdisturbances hitting the region. Our study indicates that, at present, EEAeconomies exhibit a high degree of cross-country supply diversity, while there isno compelling evidence that shocks are highly correlated across the region.JEL classification: E52, E58, F33, F40
