Effectiveness of referral and counter-referral systems in a high-complexity Speech, Language and Hearing healthcare service in the city of São Paulo

Introduction: For optimum quality in Speech, Language and Hearing (SLH) healthcare, it is essential to be aware of the flow of referrals and counter-referrals for high-complexity health services. Purpose: To analyze the flow of patients of a high-complexity SLH service in Brazil’s Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS). Methods: Descriptive study, made at a Speech, language and hearing (SLH) service of a high complexity hospital. Participants were 373 users who underwent SLH screening (consultation of health records). The variables analyzed were: social-demographic profile; SLH profile; origin of referral of users; time between referral and screening being carried out; referrals after screening (counter-referral); time between conclusion of screening and first SLH consultation in the counterreferred service; and degree of satisfaction with the SLH consultation of the counter-referral. Results: The largest group was the age range zero to 11 years 11 months, male, resident in the city of São Paulo, who had not completed primary education. The most prevalent initial diagnosis in SLH terms was dysphonia. The majority of users were referred to tertiary care. The average waiting time for screening was 56.6 days. Just over half the subjects were referred for tertiary care. The waiting time for care was longest at the secondary level. The majority of users stated their degree of satisfaction with the care to be excellent or good. Conclusion: A high degree of resolutiveness was observed in the tertiary care service analyzed; and a need was observed in secondary and primary care for reorganization of the systems of referral and counter-referral.
Microbiological and Physicochemical Properties of Mayonnaise Using Biopolymer of Whey Protein-Gelatin-Chitosan during Storage

Biopolymer is a natural polymer which produced using natural polymer monomers, it can be obtained from plants and animals. Biopolymer origin animals are gelatin, whey protein and chitosan. According to Cho et al., (2004), gelatin is one of natural biopolymer derivative protein and derived from collagen which denatured as a result of thermo hydrolysis. Sobral and Habitante (2001) explained that gelatin obtained by means the hydrolysis of collagen and it soluble in water. The use of gelatin in food products is as a stabilizer, in the form of gel, a fastener, a thickener and emulsifier (Hernandez et al., 2009).
Noble gases in fossil micrometeorites and meteorites from 470 Myr old sediments from southern Sweden, and new evidence for the L‐chondrite parent body breakup event

Abstract— We present noble gas analyses of sediment‐dispersed extraterrestrial chromite grains recovered from ˜470 Myr old sediments from two quarries (Hällekis and Thorsberg) and of relict chromites in a coeval fossil meteorite from the Gullhögen quarry, all located in southern Sweden. Both the sediment‐dispersed grains and the meteorite Gullhögen 001 were generated in the L‐chondrite parent body breakup about 470 Myr ago, which was also the event responsible for the abundant fossil meteorites previously found in the Thorsberg quarry. Trapped solar noble gases in the sediment‐dispersed chromite grains have partly been retained during ˜470 Myr of terrestrial residence and despite harsh chemical treatment in the laboratory. This shows that chromite is highly retentive for solar noble gases. The solar noble gases imply that a sizeable fraction of the sediment‐dispersed chromite grains are micrometeorites or fragments thereof rather than remnants of larger meteorites. The grains in the oldest sediment beds were rapidly delivered to Earth likely by direct injection into an orbital resonance in the inner asteroid belt, whereas grains in younger sediments arrived by orbital decay due to Poynting‐Robertson (P‐R) drag. The fossil meteorite Gullhögen 001 has a low cosmic‐ray exposure age of ˜0.9 Myr, based on new He and Ne production rates in chromite determined experimentally. This age is comparable to the ages of the fossil meteorites from Thorsberg, providing additional evidence for very rapid transfer times of material after the L‐chondrite parent body breakup.
Local and Non-Local Tumour Invasion Models: Their Mathematical Analysis and Computational Simulations

In the present paper we investigate local and non-local type of mathematical models of tumour invasion with proliferation in order to understand the mechanism of the non-local tumour invasion. We consider the nonlocal tumour invasion model proposed by Gerisch and Chaplain and an approximation model by expanding the non-local term into Taylor series, which is closely related to Chaplain and Lolas model describing the local tumour invasion. We prove the global existence in time and asymptotic profile of the solution to the initial boundary value problem for the approximation model in one spacial dimension, by applying known mathematical results of the local tumour invasion model. Finally we show by computer simulations of the approximation model, which are verified by our mathematical analysis, the time dependent change of the non-local tumour invasion process and observe the relationship between the value of Taylor coefficients and the tumour cell density or so.
Biogas Farming in Central and Northern Europe:A Strategy for Developing Countries?

In this contribution we want to look at the chances of biogas production as a renewable energy source especially in rural regions and the developing countries. The recent development in Europe is taken as example of the opportunities of biogas technology. And we want to focus on the opportunities to include residues of crop production but also especially cultivated energy crops into the feedstock for anaerobic digestion. Further the appropriate scale of biogas production should be raised as well as the most appropriate pathway for the conversion of biogas to usable energy. There are many options, like conversion to electricity and heat, to transform this heat to coldness, to purify and to compress the gas and use it for cooking, refrigerating or as car fuel. Finally it is discussed how and what is transferable of the European experiences to the developing world.
Influence of cross-shelf water transport on nutrients and phytoplankton in the East China Sea: a model study

Abstract. A three dimensional coupled biophysical model was used to examine the supply of oceanic nutrients to the shelf of the East China Sea (ECS) and its role in primary production over the shelf. The model consisted of two parts: the hydrodynamic module was based on a nested model with a horizontal resolution of 1/18 degree, whereas the biological module was a lower trophic level ecosystem model including two types of phytoplankton, three elements of nutrients, and biogenic organic material. The model results suggested that seasonal variations occurred in the distribution of nutrients and chlorophyll a over the shelf of the ECS. After comparison with available observed nutrients and chlorophyll a data, the model results were used to calculate volume and nutrients fluxes across the shelf break. The annual mean total fluxes were 1.53 Sv for volume, 9.4 kmol s−1 for DIN, 0.7 kmol s−1 for DIP, and 18.2 kmol s−1 for silicate. Two areas, northeast of Taiwan and southwest of Kyushu, were found to be major source regions of oceanic nutrients to the shelf. Although the onshore fluxes of nutrients and volume both had apparent seasonal variations, the seasonal variation of the onshore nutrient flux did not exactly follow that of the onshore volume flux. Additional calculations in which the concentration of nutrients in Kuroshio water was artificially increased suggested that the oceanic nutrients were distributed in the bottom layer from the shelf break to the region offshore of the Changjiang estuary from spring to summer and appeared in the surface layer from autumn to winter. The calculations also implied that the supply of oceanic nutrients to the shelf can change the consumption of pre-existing nutrients from rivers. The response of primary production over the shelf to the oceanic nutrients was confirmed not only in the surface layer (mainly at the outer shelf and shelf break in winter and in the region offshore of the Changjiang estuary in summer) but also in the subsurface layer over the shelf from spring to autumn.
OT constraints are categorical

In Optimality Theory, constraints come in two types, which are distinguished by their mode of evaluation. Categorical constraints are either satisfied or not; a categorical constraint assigns no more than one violation-mark, unless there are several violating structures in the form under evaluation. Gradient constraints evaluate extent of deviation; they can assign multiple marks even when there is just a single instance of the non-conforming structure. This article proposes a restrictive definition of what an OT constraint is, from which it follows that all constraints must be categorical. The various gradient constraints that have been proposed are examined, and it is argued that none is necessary and many have undesirable consequences.
Molecular biogeography: using the Corsica‐Sardinia microplate disjunction to calibrate mitochondrial rDNA evolutionary rates in mountain newts (Euproctus)

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation was examined in the three species belonging to the newt genus Euproctus: E. asper, E. montanus, and E. platycephalus, and in three other species belonging to the same family: Triturus carnifex, T. vulgaris and Pleurodeles waltl. The Euproctus species inhabit mountain streams in the Pyrenean region, Corsica, and Sardinia, respectively. This vicariant distribution is believed to be a result of the disjunction and rotation of the Sardinia‐Corsica microplate from the Pyrenean region and suggested dates for each cladogenetic event are available. A total of 915 bp from 12S and 16S ribosomal rRNA genes were compared for each taxon. These are the first mt‐rDNA sequence data for salamanders. Sequences were used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees, investigate evolutionary rates for these genes, calibrate them with absolute time since divergence, and compare rates with published ones.
Phyllodictyon robustum (Setchell et Gardner) comb. nov. (Siphonocladales, Chlorophyta), a morphologically variable species from the tropical Pacific coast of America

The systematic positions of Cladophoropsis robusta and Willeella mexicana, both occurring along the tropical Pacific coast of America, have long been uncertain. Willeella mexicana has been generally accepted as a synonym of C. robusta, which is currently placed in the genus Struveopsis. Reinvestigation of type material and recently collected specimens from Mexico and Panama, including culture observations, along with a molecular phylogenetic analysis inferred from rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences, confirm that both taxa belong to the same, morphologically variable species. Thallus architecture ranges from stipitate, Struveopsis-like blades (produced by apical cell divisions and formation of opposite and flabellate branches) to Valoniopsis-like plants, composed of coarse, cylindrical filaments with lateral branches initiated by lenticular cells. Additionally, DNA sequence data and morphological features such as branching pattern of blade filaments, presence of tenacular cells and crystalline cell inclusions provide evidence that Struveopsis robusta falls within the Phyllodictyon clade and is most closely related with the Atlantic-Caribbean Phyllodictyon pulcherrimum, with the Indo-Pacific Phyllodictyon orientale forming a sister species. The binomial Phyllodictyon robustum (Setchell et Gardner) comb. nov. is thus proposed.
Fermi surface evolution and collapse of the Mott pseudogap in Nd2-xCexCuO4±δ

Fermi surface (FS) maps and spectral intensities obtained recently in Nd 2 - x Ce x CuO 4 γ Φ via high resolution ARPES measurements are analyzed using mean-field Hartree Fock and self-consistent renormalization computations within the framework of the one-band t-t'-t"-U Hubbard model Hamiltonian. We show that the remarkable observed crossover of the FS from small to large sheets reflects a reduction in the value of the effective Hubbard U with increasing electron doping and the collapse of the correlation induced Mott pseudogap just above optimal doping.

Does FDI Promote Human Capital Accumulation? The Role of Gradual Financial Liberalization

We argue that how inward foreign direct investment (FDI) affects domestic human capital accumulation (HCA) depends on the degree of financial deregulation. Utilizing the Chinese experience and its panel data, the OLS (ordinary least squares) regressions suggest that FDI has a significant positive interaction effect with financial deregulation on HCA. Specifically, the estimated coeffcient on FDI is positive but insignificant, while that on its interaction with financial deregulation is significantly positive. It means that FDI promotes HCA in China, and higher degree of financial deregulation reinforces the promoting effect. Instrumenting FDI with two sets of instruments grounded on different rationales (which ensures valid identification), our limited-information maximum likelihood (LIML) estimation results are similar to those of OLS. The results are also robust when we control for other factors affecting HCA, and time and province effects.
Bromocarbons in the tropical coastal and open ocean atmosphere during the 2009 Prime Expedition Scientific Cruise (PESC-09)

Abstract. Atmospheric concentrations of very short-lived species (VSLS) bromocarbons, including CHBr3, CH2Br2, CHCl2Br, CHClBr2, and CH2BrCl, were measured in the Strait of Malacca and the South China and Sulu–Sulawesi seas during a two-month research cruise in June–July 2009. The highest bromocarbon concentrations were found in the Strait of Malacca, with smaller enhancements in coastal regions of northern Borneo. CHBr3 was the most abundant bromocarbon, ranging from 5.2 pmol mol−1 in the Strait of Malacca to 0.94 pmol mol−1 over the open ocean. Other bromocarbons showed lower concentrations, in the range of 0.8–1.3 pmol mol−1 for CH2Br2, 0.1–0.5 pmol mol−1 for CHCl2Br, and 0.1–0.4 pmol mol−1 for CHClBr2. There was no significant correlation between bromocarbons and in situ chlorophyll a, but positive correlations with both MODIS and SeaWiFS satellite chlorophyll a. Together, the short-lived bromocarbons contribute an average of 8.9 pmol mol−1 (range 5.2–21.4 pmol mol−1) to tropospheric bromine loading, which is similar to that found in previous studies from global sampling networks (Montzka et al., 2011). Statistical tests showed strong Spearman correlations between brominated compounds, suggesting a common source. Log–log plots of CHBr3/CH2Br2 versus CHBr2Cl/CH2Br2 show that both chemical reactions and dilution into the background atmosphere contribute to the composition of these halocarbons at each sampling point. We have used the correlation to make a crude estimate of the regional emissions of CHBr3 and to derive a value of 32 Gg yr−1 for the Southeast (SE) Asian region (10° N–20° S, 90–150° E). Finally, we note that satellite-derived chlorophyll a (chl a) products do not always agree well with in situ measurements, particularly in coastal regions of high turbidity, meaning that satellite chl a may not always be a good proxy for marine productivity.
STRIPPER FOIL DEVELOPMENTS AT NSCL/MSU

The Coupled Cyclotrons Facility (CCF) at NSCL/MSU includes an injector cyclotron (K500) and a booster cyclotron (K1200). The beam from the K500 is injected radially into the K1200 and stripped at approximately one third of the radius at energies of approximately 10 MeV/u. Stripping is done with a carbon foil. The lifetime of the foil is very short when stripping heavy ions and does not agree with the estimates from formulas that work quite well for light ions. We will present in this paper the studies performed to understand the limitations and improve the lifetime of the foils. A foil test chamber with an electron gun has been built as part of the R&D for the US DOE Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) project. It has been used to study different ways of supporting the carbon foils and effects of high temperature operation. Different foil materials (diamond-like carbon, graphene, etc) have been tested in the cyclotron.
Application of cattle manure, zeolite and leonardite improves hay yield and quality of annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) under semiarid conditions

A field experiment was conducted under semiarid conditions to investigate the effect of cattle manure (20 and 40 t ha -1 ), zeolite (250, 500 and 750 kg ha -1 ), and leonardite (250, 500 and 750 kg ha -1 ) applications on hay yield and nutrient quality of annual ryegrass. Application of manure, leonardite, and zeolite increased ryegrass hay yield by 4, 24 and 47%, respectively compared with the control. In all fertilizer levels, the crude protein (CP) content was greater than the control and increased as the level of each fertilizer was increased. Most fertilizer treatments (except from the first level of cattle manure) gave higher CP yield than the control. All fertilizers increased the content of K, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn and B of ryegrass hay as compared with the control, whereas they had no significant effect on Cu and Zn content. The content of most minerals increased as the amount of manure and leonardite applications increased. In conclusion, all fertilizers (especially zeolite) showed great potential for use in organic agriculture as they can improve plant growth and soil conditions in the long term.
Nostalgia as a Resource for the Self

This research tested whether nostalgia serves as a positive resource for the self. In Experiment 1, nostalgia was induced and the accessibility of positive self-attributes was assessed. Participants who thought about a nostalgic experience, relative to those who thought about a positive future experience, evidenced heightened accessibility of positive self-attributes. In Experiment 2, participants received negative or positive performance feedback and then thought about a nostalgic or ordinary past experience. Subsequently, they were given the opportunity to make internal attributions for their performance. Participants displayed a typical pattern of self-serving attributions if they were not given the opportunity to engage in nostalgia. Nostalgic engagement, however, attenuated this effect. Nostalgia indeed functions as a positive resource for the self.
Integrating customer expectations into the development of business strategies in a supply chain environment

Customer expectations in the clothing industry are often erratic and change rapidly because styles and fashions continually change. As a result, it is particularly important in such an industry to develop a customer-oriented supply chain management (CoSCM) framework. This CoSCM framework needs to integrate customer expectations into the development of business strategies along various business units in a supply chain, then narrow the gap between customer expectations and operational performance. Specifically, this paper studies the operating characteristics of the clothing industry in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, Southern China. It reports the findings solicited from industrial practitioners in the PRD clothing industry using the Delphi method. The paper concludes by presenting a CoSCM framework that can be used as a reference framework for the PRD clothing industry to enhance customer satisfaction.
Firm Growth and Localized Knowledge Externalities

A lively debate in the literature focuses on the potential for a firm to profit from a loca-tion in a knowledge intensive context. If localized knowledge spillovers are important, firms tend to locate in proximity to capitalize on the knowledge stock of each other and knowledge institutions. We apply econometric modeling techniques that enable us to model firm level survival and (subsequent) employment growth simultaneously with different types of locally endowed knowledge externalities. We define the latent contextual concept of âknowledge economyâ using three manifest (measurable) dimensions. Based on the knowledge economy li-terature, we not only focus on technological externalities (âR&Dâ), but we value complementa-ry indicators like the successful introduction of new products and services to the market (âin-novationâ) and indicators of skills of employees ('knowledge workers'). The latter contains the use of ICT, educational level of the workforce, and communicative and creative skills. We use employment data for manufacturing and business services firms stemming from a micro data-set of approximately 62.000 firms in the Netherlands in the period 2001-2006. We conclude on the size and knowledge related composition of the contextual effects, in which the innovation dimension turns out to be most robustly related to firm-level economic growth.
Phylogenetic relationships at the base of Oligoarthra (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) with a new species as the cornerstone

Romete bulbiseta gen. et sp. nov. (Aegisthoidea Giesbrecht, 1892: Rometidae fam. nov.) is described from the Great Meteor Seamount, northeast Atlantic. An analysis of the phylogeny and evolution of the basal Harpacticoida Sars, 1903 is presented. Cerviniidae Sars, 1903 and Cervinioidea Sars, 1903 are respective junior synonyms of Aegisthidae Giesbrecht, 1892 and Aegisthoidea Giesbrecht, 1892. Rometidae fam. nov. is identified as sistertaxon of Aegisthidae. Rotundiclipeidae Huys, 1988 and Styracothoracidae Huys, 1993 are removed from Aegisthoidea and placed in Syngnatharthra tax. nov., sistergroup of Aegisthoidea. “Maxillipedasphalea” Lang, 1944 is polyphyletic and therefore not maintained here. A morphological analysis of taxa of Harpacticoida reveals the autapomorphies of Rometidae, Aegisthidae, Aegisthoidea, Syngnatharthra, and Oligoarthra Lang, 1944. Diagnoses for these taxa are given.
Indicator models of real GDP growth in the major OECD economies

Accurate and timely information on the current state of economic activity is an important requirement for the policymaking process. Delays in the publication of official statistics mean that a complete picture of economic developments within a particular period emerges only some time after that period has elapsed. Thus considerable resources are, at times, devoted to making an assessment of the immediate past and the current conjuncture as well as projections about future developments. In practice, a regular flow of information is provided by the large number of quantitative and qualitative indicators that appear each month for different sectors of the economy. One challenge for policymakers is to put these together in a consistent manner to obtain a picture of the overall state of the economy.
