As espécies do gênero Eulaema Lepeletier, 1841 (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossinae)

Publica-se uma chave para as especies do genero Eulaema, que distribui a varias pessoas a partir de setembro de 1969, e que fui corrigindo e modificando ate 16.XII. 1996. Devia acompanhar um Catalogo feito nesse mesmo periodo, mas que foi perdido na troca de computador. E apresentada uma copia desse Catalogo, acrescida de comentarios e descricao de especies novas, inclusive uma que nao foi publicada, Eulaema basicincta, e embora conste na check-list, publicada em 1967, e nao venha mencionada na de KIMSEY & DRESSLER (1986). Provavelmente perdeu-se o original quando foi para a imprensa. Afim de facilitar estudos futuros para cada especie e reproduzida a descricao original. Na listagem dos trabalhos que acompanha cada especie, certamente faltarao algumas referencias, contudo as que tive acesso, sao arroladas. Para os interessados na Biologia destes e outros Euglossinae ha um bom apanhado bibliografico em DRESSLER (1982). ABSTRACT A key for the species of the genus Eulaema that was distributed to several persons since September of 1969 and that during this period had been modifying and improoving until December of 1996. This key should accompanies the Catalog done in the same period but as the latter was losten in a computer exchange the publication of both was delayed. A copy of that Catalog with new comments and descriptions of new species, besides one, that in spite of being described it was not published, Eulaema basicincta, is cited in the check-list published in 1967, and that was not mentioned in Kimsey & Dressler (1986). The original description possibly was losten in the press. In order to facilitate future studies, the original description for each species is reproduced. In the list of the papers that accompanies each species, certainly will lack some references, however the ones that I had access are listed. For facilitate future studies in the Biology of these and other Euglossinae there are good bibliographical references in Dressler (1982). RESUME Une clef pour l'especes du genre Eulaema qui a ete distribue aux plusieurs personnes depuis septembre de 1969 et que pendant cette periode avait modifie et improoving jusqu'a decembre de 1996. Cette clef doit accompagne le Catalogue fait dans la meme periode mais comme le dernier etait losten dans un echange de l'ordinateur que la publication de les deux a ete differee.

Los escritores vernáculos digitales y el concepto de valor en las escrituras digitales

Usualmente, cuando se menciona la escritura en y a traves de los entornos digitales se traen a colacion conceptos como ubicuidad, multimodalidad, colaboracion, etc. En contraposicion, un concepto como el valor no parece tener una relacion directa con la escritura y la lectura digitales: el valor suele relacionarse con la cotizacion en bolsa de las acciones de tal o cual red social, cuantos ingresos recibe un video de YouTube por publicidad o la fortuna de un CEO (Chief Executive Officer) de una empresa tecnologica. El proposito del presente articulo es exponer que el valor no se relaciona indirectamente con las practicas de lectura y escritura digitales, sino que esta imbricado en ellas, en tanto que la composicion y la recepcion de textos digitales se basan en el deseo y la necesidad de producir contenidos que agraden a la audiencia y de recibir una retroalimentacion positiva de esta, lo que determina que los textos de los escritores/lectores puedan incluirse en un sistema de valor. Estas y otras conclusiones se derivan de una investigacion que realizamos a partir del analisis de algunas muestras de la escritura digital de estudiantes de una universidad argentina de gestion privada.
A Concept Paper: The Effect of Glycemic Index on Weight Management in Female Athletes

The aim of this study is to determine glycemic index and weight management in female athletes. This is a randomised cross-over study investigating the effects of the following ad libitum low and high GI diet with 50% energy from CHO for 4 weeks on insulin sensitivity and blood lipids in overweight female’s athletes. All subject needs to report to the laboratory for preliminary test and the actual experimental trials. The test will involve the measurement of body composition, RMR, fasting blood and ECG of the subject. Subjects will be explain thoroughly about the exercise protocol and equipment used during the experimental trials. The expected outcome for the study is to identify and plan better strategies for weight loss in female athletes. Hence, the result will produce a proper way of planning a program to suit the needs of athletes. The glycemic index was not identified as risk factors for overweight and adiposity in this cross-sectional study.
Semantic Understanding of Abstract Images

The relation of visual information to its language-based meaning remains a testing region of research. Semantic significance of pictures relies on upon the nearness of items, ascribes and their relations to different articles. But exactly describing this dependence needs taking out of complex visual data from a picture, that is in normal is an exceptionally troublesome but then unsolved issue. During this paper, we propose learning semantic data in unique pictures made from various pictures. Unique pictures give many points of interest over genuine pictures. They take into account the immediate investigation of how to figure abnormal state data, since they wipe out the dependence on buzzing low-level question, property and connection finders, or the exhausting and depleting hand-naming of honest to goodness picture. Fundamentally, conceptual pictures moreover allow the ability to make sets of syntactic near scenes. Finding comparable plans of honest to goodness pictures that are about the same would be almost inconceivable. We make nearly a similar conceptual picture with relating composed depiction. We absolutely intentionally concentrate this dataset to conceive syntactic basic parts, the relations of words to visual components and procedures for measuring semantic comparability. We concentrate the association among the boldness and notability of things and their syntactic criticalness. In this project, we have integrated word-net for analysing all possible synonyms for the keywords given. Hence search efficiency, accuracy shall be improved. we present a viewable-aspect joint hyper graph learning approach to model the relationship of all images. Our aim of the project is to develop a meaning based search engine and increase the search accuracy and relevancy of search data for both images and web URL’s.

Review Article and Clinical Experience METABOLIC SYNDROME VS INSULIN RESISTANCE SYNDROME (A CLUSTER OF COMPONENTS AND STRATEGIES FOR TREATMENT)

Metabolic Syndrome = MS (in which abdominal Obesity is the culprit of the MS) is defined by NCEP-ATP III in 2001, whereas Dysmetabolic Syndrome = DMS and Insulin Resistance Syndrome = IRS are recommended terms by AACE (in 2002) and ACE (in 2002), respectively. Both AACE and ACE stated that insulin resistance plays central role in the syndrome. All these terms of the syndrome are originally and firstly coined by Reaven as Syndrome-X in 1988, and then Metabolic Syndrome-X in 1999. Either MS or DMS or IRS has become major issues because of its impact on the risks of Type 2 DM (T2DM) development and cardiovascular diseases. The criteria of MS, IRS (including its risk factors), and the clusters of components belong to MS and IRS, are listed in this paper. Rational strategies for the treatment of MS and IRS are focused on obesity and insulin resistance, respectively, and can be summarized as follows A. Improving insulin sensitivity and lifestyle (weight loss 5-10%, aerobic exercise ± 30-40 min, 4 times/week). B. Pharmacological Interventions directed to the targets for (mmHg, ml/dl) Blood Pressure 40 for men, and > 50 for women. Clinical evidence-based data supported, that Metformin (UKPDS Outcomes), Sibutramine (STORM Landmark Trial), and Orlistat (XENDOS Study), to date, are the promising drugs for the treatment of MS/IRS. However, the drugs specifically to improve the insulin sensitivity are hoped to treat this Syndrome. Conclusions Syndrome-X, Metabolic Syndrome-X, MS, DMS, or IRS, all have become major issues because of their roles in the development of either T2DM or Cardiovascular Diseases. The cluster of components of this Syndrome and its risk factors should be well recognized. Improving insulin sensitivity, losing body weight, aerobic exercise, and pharmacologic interventions (Metformin, Sibutramin, Orlistat) are rational strategies for the treatment of MS/IRS.
Nosography of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, severe sepsis, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in internal medicine patients

Sepsis is defined by the presence of at least two systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria associated with an infection microbiologically or clinically evidenced. In Italy sepsis is responsible for 80,000 hospital admissions per year and, in the last decades, severe sepsis and septic shock cases are increasing, in correlation with the increased prevalence of multi-drugresistant microbial strains. The predominant etiologic agents are Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, but sepsis caused by fungi is increasing. The host response with both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory processes is responsible for organic failures, which complicate the syndrome, and for the susceptibility to secondary infections. The impairment of one or more organs or systems may be the onset clinical presentation. The organ dysfunctions complicating sepsis involve mainly cardiorespiratory system, kidneys, hemostatis and central nervous system. Fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, leukocytosis or leukopenia, elevated blood levels of lactate and procalcitonin, hypotension are diagnostically sensitive findings for sepsis. Definitive diagnosis requires isolation of the pathogen from blood sample or from the focus of infection. Therapeutic success against sepsis depends on the appropriate use of antibiotics, on the treatment of hemodynamic and respiratory disorder and on general supportive care. In some cases the use of activated protein C is to take in consideration.
The Role of T cells In Mucosal Immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Infection: A Review of Current Understanding

Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains one of the most important infectious diseases globally. Because Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is short of preventing transmission, the search for an efficacious vaccine to either augment that of BCG or to replace has been intensified globally. Currently, there are many candidate vaccines in different stages of clinical trials but none of these has achieved the desired efficacy to control TB. One central issue in TB immunology is lack of clear understanding as to what leads to immune protection or development of clinical disease. Tuberculosis is primarily a disease of the lungs and the main portal of entry of Mtb to the lungs and systemic organs is the respiratory tract and its mucosal surfaces. Therefore, the role of mucosal immunity against Mtb infection has been the subject of several investigations quite for some time. There is emerging evidence that mucosal immunity against TB may be critical for the control of Mtb infection and development of an efficacious vaccine. Although it is generally believed that type helper T (Th1) cells are critical for protection against Mtb infection, emerging data show that non-conventional T cells could play a vital role in protection against TB, particularly in the respiratory mucosa. In this review, current understanding on the role of various T cell subsets, with focus on lymphocytes collectively called “innate-like lymphocytes”, including gammadelta (γδ) T cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells will be presented.
Building a Search Engine for Algorithms

search through a large collection of scholarly documents or author homepages. In this article, we describe an initial prototype of AlgorithmSeer, a system for extracting, indexing, and searching for algorithms in scholarly documents. The initial system has been tested as part of the CiteSeer X digital library and search engine. Current issues and future directions, such as algorithm information extraction and classication, are also discussed.

Managing the memory hierarchy in GPUs

Pervasive use of GPUs across multiple disciplines is a result of continuous adaptation of the GPU architectures to address the needs of upcoming application domains. One such vital improvement is the introduction of the on-chip cache hierarchy, used primarily to filter the high bandwidth demand to the off-chip memory. However, in contrast to traditional CPUs, the cache hierarchy in GPUs is presented with significantly different challenges such as cache thrashing and bandwidth bottlenecks, arising due to small caches and high levels of memory traffic. These challenges lead to severe congestion across the memory hierarchy, resulting in high memory access latencies. In memoryintensive applications, such high memory access latencies often get exposed and can no longer be hidden through multithreading, and therefore adversely impact system performance. In this thesis, we address the inefficiencies across the memory hierarchy in GPUs that lead to such high levels of congestion. We identify three major factors contributing to poor memory system performance: first, disproportionate and insufficient bandwidth resources in the cache hierarchy; second, poor cache management policies; and third, high levels of multithreading. In order to revitalize the memory hierarchy by addressing the above limitations, we propose a three-pronged approach. First, we characterize the bandwidth bottlenecks present across the memory hierarchy in GPUs and identify the architectural parameters that are most critical in alleviating congestion. Subsequently, we explore the architectural design space to mitigate the bandwidth bottlenecks in a cost-effective manner. Second, we identify significant inter-core reuse in GPUs, presenting an opportunity to reuse data among the L1s. We exploit this reuse by connecting the L1 caches with a lightweight ring network to facilitate inter-core communication of shared data. We show that this technique reduces traffic to the L2 cache, freeing up the bandwidth for other accesses. Third, we present Poise, a machine learning approach to mitigate cache thrashing and bandwidth bottlenecks by altering the levels of multithreading. Poise comprises a supervised learning model that is trained offline on a set of profiled kernels to make good warp scheduling decisions. Subsequently, a hardware inference engine is used to predict good warp scheduling decisions at runtime using the model learned during training. In summary, we address the problem of bandwidth bottlenecks across the memory hierarchy in GPUs by exploring how to best scale, supplement and utilize the existing bandwidth resources. These techniques provide an effective and comprehensive methodology to mitigate the bandwidth bottlenecks in the GPU memory hierarchy.
Architectures and Control of Networked Robotic Systems

Networked robot systems are ensembles of robots that enhance their individual capabilities by sharing perception, computation and actuation capabilities with each other to solve problems that an individual robot could not solve alone. In this chapter, we focus on architectures and control of autonomous networked robot systems that communicate wirelessly. We will first provide an overview over current networked robot platforms spanning 3 orders of magnitude in size (from millimeter to meters in size), operation on the ground, in the air and under water, and that are networked using light, sound and radio. We will then describe classes of algorithms and their analysis used for coordination of teams of robots focusing on reactive and deliberative algorithms for sharing perception, computation, and actuation. The chapter is concluded with a summary of current challenges and promising directions.
L'eau et les liquides de dialyse dans le traitement de l'insuffisance rénale chronique terminale

Seules trois methodes de traitement, aujourd'hui, s'offrent au patient insuffisant renal chronique (IRC) en phase terminale : la dialyse peritoneale, l'hemodialyse, et la transplantation renale. L'esquisse de ces techniques sera dessinee au fil de ce travail, avec un focus particulier sur l'hemodialyse, methode a ce jour encore la plus utilisee. A ses debuts, les resultats proposes par cette procedure, assortis d'une lourde mortalite, etaient peu concluants.Jusque dans les annees 1960, l'hemodialyse n'etait utilisee que brievement pour le traitement de l'insuffisance renale aigue (IRA). Le besoin de purifier l'eau de dialyse n'etait alors, pas evident. Ce n'est que plus tard, que l'amelioration de la technique permit de soigner efficacement les signes associes a la maladie.Avec les annees 1970 et l'expansion de la technique dans des centres specialises, les premiers signes de bacteriemie et de reactions pyrogeniques post-dialyse ont ete observes. L'exposition chronique de patients dialyses a un dialysat de qualite insuffisante fut responsable de l'apparition de nouveaux maux. La dialyse aameliore le pronostic et la qualite de vie des patients insuffisants renaux chroniques (IRC), mais au prix de nouvelles complications.Les professionnels de sante rattaches au monde de la dialyse se sont appliques au quotidien a l'amelioration de ces techniques, de maniere a en diminuer les repercussions sanitaires potentielles.Notre travail ne portera que sur les fluides pour hemodialyse et leur qualite, puisque leur fabrication extemporanee est sous la responsabilite seule du pharmacien en charge du traitement de l'eau. A l'inverse des poches de dialysat en dialyse peritoneale qui sont d'origine industrielle garantissant ainsi une reproductibilite de produits de haute qualite, les liquides de dialyse sont fabriques extemporanement et necessitent la mise en place d'un systeme d'assurance de qualite pour garantir une securite sanitaire optimale.Cette these debutera par une approche globale de l'anatomie, de la physiologie renale, puis d'un rappel de la definition de l'insuffisance renale chronique (IRC), de maniere a resituer l'interet de la dialyse dans le traitement du stade terminal de la maladie. A partir d'ouvrages de reference et de normes internationales seraensuite detaillee la place de l'eau dans la fabrication extemporanee du dialysat. La question de la recherche de la contamination bacterienne du dialysat, grâce aux techniques issues des travaux de biologie moleculaire, seraegalement abordee. La philosophie du traitement de l'eau de dialyse sera enfin developpee afin de laisser place, pour finir, aux repercussions cliniques pouvant s'observer en cas d'une contamination du liquide de dialyse.
Ondernemen in familiebedrijven

In toenemende mate wordt het belang van familiebedrijven voor de Nederlandse economie onderkend. Ook het feit dat familiebedrijven een apart ondernemingstype vormen, krijgt steeds meer aandacht. Een van de indirecte gevolgen hiervan is dat de hogeschool Windesheim vijf jaar geleden (de zomer van 2009) gestart is met het lectoraat Familiebedrijven. Dit is het eerste lectoraat in Nederland dat familiebedrijven centraal stelt. Bij het uitspreken van mijn lectorale rede heb ik benoemd dat dit vernieuwend is, verwachtingen schept en dat het lectoraat zich zal moeten bewijzen. Nu, vijf jaar later, ben ik heel tevreden met wat we in de afgelopen jaren hebben neergezet Er staat een stevig fundament. In hoofdstuk 4 van deze publicatie kom ik hier op terug. De rode draad van het lectoraat is ondernemen in familiebedrijven. Professioneel management speelt hierbij een belangrijke rol. Wat ik hier precies mee bedoel, komt in hoofdstuk 2 aan de orde. De verankering van professioneel management in het familiebedrijf vindt plaats door goed bestuur. Dit is mijn specialisatie en zal ik in hoofdstuk 3 verder toelichten. Maar ik begin met een inleiding op de vraag waar het allemaal om draait: wat is er nu zo specifiek aan familiebedrijven?
Effective Communication in Nursing

Nurses are critical in the delivery of essential health services and are core in strengthen- ing the health system. They bring people-centred care closer to the communities where they are needed most, thereby helping improve health outcomes and the overall cost- effectiveness of services. Nurses usually act as first responders to complex humanitarian crises and disasters; protectors and advocates for the community and communicators and co-ordinators within teams. Communication is a core component of sound relationships, collaboration and co-operation, which in turn are essential aspects of professional practice. The quality of communication in interactions between nurses and patients has a major influence on patient outcomes. Increases in nursing communication can lessen medical errors and make a difference in positive patient outcomes. This chapter explores how effective communication and interpersonal skills can enhance professional nursing practice and nursing relationships with various stakeholders. It explains principles of communication, communication process, purpose of communication, types of communi- cation, barriers to effective communication, models of communication and strategies of improving communication and guidelines for successful therapeutic interactions.
