An Assessment of Drinking Water Quality in Cauvery Delta Region and Palar Region, Tamil Nadu
Authors: Porchelvi R. Sophia , Selvavathi P.
Published: April 2017

Delta regions of the Cauvery River basin are one of the significant areas of rice production in India. In spite of large-scale utilization of the river basin for irrigation and drinking purposes, the lack of appropriate water management has seemingly deteriorated the water quality due to increasing anthropogenic activities. Vellore is the second most populous district of Tamil Nadu in India where the Palar River flowing towards east for about 295 Km. Vellore is surrounded by many leather tanneries and small scale dying industries and their effluents are discharged into the Palar river causing impact on the quality of the underground water. To assess the extent of deterioration, physicochemical characteristics of surface water were analyzed select regions of Cauvery Delta River basin and Palar region, Tamil Nadu, during March 2016 to May 2016. This study aimed to examine quality of drinking groundwater. The results represented whether the water was suitable or unsuitable for drinking purposes in this area. It was also observed that some areas like Tiruvarur, Needamangalam, Kamalapuram, Arcot, Soraiyur, Ranipet had low quality drinking water. It is suggested to take some necessary measures for supplying desirable water to the people living in these areas.
Advogando no novo desenvolvimento: profissionais do direito e a construção do setor de telecomunicações no Brasil emergente (dos anos 1980 aos anos 2010)
Authors: De Sá e Silva Fabio , M. Trubek David
Published: April 2017

Este texto explora mudanças no papel dos advogados de empresas que atuaram na construção e operação de um importante setor da economia brasileira nos últimos trinta anos: as telecomunicações. O estudo examina três períodos na história deste setor: declínio do monopólio estatal; reestruturação global, neoliberalismo e privatização; e o recente retorno do ativismo estatal, com a configuração de um “Novo Estado Desenvolvimentista”. Em cada um desses períodos, advogados de empresas tiveram importantes, porém distintas funções. Nos dois primeiros, eles trabalharam para viabilizar a privatização e criar um mercado levemente regulado para os serviços de telecomunicações, visando, em especial, atrair investimento estrangeiro. No entanto, este quadro se altera no momento em que políticas industriais e sociais características de um “Novo Estado Desenvolvimentista” trazem novas demandas para o setor. Neste novo contexto, alguns advogados de empresas tentam resistir ao ativismo estatal, enquanto outros aceitam a legitimidade de maior intervenção do Estado, demonstram disposição para operar no âmbito de modelos mais flexíveis, e buscam negociar parcerias efetivas entre seus clientes e o poder público. A emergência desse novo tipo de advogado e de advocacia demandará ajustes naquelas teses. Esta sequencia de eventos envolve mudanças no campo do poder estatal, hierarquias nas profissões jurídicas, e relações centro-periferia, as quais desafiam as teorias existentes sobre direito, advogados e desenvolvimento capitalista.

Published: April 2017

No dia 30 de maio de 2015, durante a conferência anual da Law & Society Association, que acontecia na cidade de Seattle, Bryant Garth concedeu uma entrevista aos três autores. Um dos mais influentes acadêmicos do campo da Sociologia do Direito, e um dos principais quadros do que se denominou Law & Society Movement, ele nos concedeu mais de duas horas de entrevista. Falamos sobre suas origens familiares, sua opção pelo curso de Direito e a construção de sua carreira. O leitor acompanhará o contexto dentro do qual ele ocupou diferentes posições jurídicas e acadêmicas, bem como constituiu redes e produziu trabalhos. Interessa particularmente a uma reflexão biobibliográfica a maneira como Bryant Garth se constituiu como ator singular no nosso campo de estudos. Se por um lado, cresceu academicamente sob influência da primeira geração do L&SM (David Trubek, Lawrence Fridman, Marc Galanter), de forte ancoragem americana, de outro construiu parcerias sólidas com pesquisadores europeus, notadamente Mauro Cappelletti e Yves Dezalay. Se trata de uma trajetória a partir da qual se pode observar privilegiadamente a convergência da empiria americana e do comparatismo europeu para a produção de algo realmente novo na Sociologia do Direito. Esta entrevista se pretende uma fonte para estudos e reflexões. Ela se apresenta na exata forma em que foi gravada. Sua transcrição direta do inglês foi realizada por Izabel Nuñez e Veridiana Domingos Cordeiro.  A conferência de fidelidade e a tradução para o português foram realizadas por Izabel Nuñez.

The role of arterio-venous anastomoses in the neutrophilic granulocytes circulation
Authors: Markov Igor , Markova Valeriya , Malykhina Tat'yana , Sofronov Matvey , Antonyan Yanis , Rassolov Vladimir
Published: April 2017

Migration of neutrophilic granulocytes (NG), whose main function is phagocytosis, is primarily caused by the
venule lumen. Nevertheless, NGs are often “blamed” for their ability to block microcirculation in the systemic circulation and thus to develop the no-reflow phenomenon in the cerebrum and myocardium. Apparently, NGs are a priori believed to enter the venous bed trans capillary, although their morphological features should prevent it. Are NGs able to circulate into venules via arterio-venous anastomoses (AVA)? The aim of the research is to elucidate the role of AVA in neutrophilic granulocyte circulation. The paper presents the study of the intestine, skeletal muscles, myocardium, cerebrum, peritoneum, and spleen in cats (n=7) and white rates (n=17). The research methods are intravascular impregnation by the Ranvier method, a universal method of impregnation with various silver salts, routine histological methods of staining paraffin sections. In intact animals, neutrophilic granulocytes enter the venules via AVAs only. In the myocardium and cerebrum, which have no AVAs, due to the blood separation phenomenon, NGs enter the epicardium exclusively in the former case and the facial soft tissues and pachymeninx in the latter.

Published: April 2017

A região Sudoeste do Rio Grande do Sul apresenta áreas de intensa degradação, com extensas porções da superfície recobertas por areias submetidos aos condicionantes climáticos locais, sendo denominadas de areais ou campos de areias. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar uma análise da evolução da arenização da Bacia Hidrográfica do Arroio Puitã no período 1984 a 2014, através de mapeamento multitemporal. Assim se seguiram algumas etapas: primeiramente se deu a coleta de dados; após, o trabalho de campo; a seguir se deu a etapa de geoprocessamento com a confecção dos mapas de uso e cobertura da terra dos anos de 1984, 1994, 2004 e 2014 de toda a Bacia, a validação das classificações e as análises geográficas. A partir do mapeamento da arenização na bacia foi encontrada uma expansão considerável da área para os períodos correspondentes de 1984-1994 e 1994-2004, e uma redução de área em um terceiro período de 2004-2014, no entanto considerando todo o período estudado foi verificado apenas um aumento de 1,87 km² de área. Assim se observou que o mapeamento da arenização no Oeste do RS, visando o monitoramento da mesma área considerando um grande intervalo temporal foi mais eficaz utilizando-se do mapeamento multitemporal.

Abnormality of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) mediated signaling pathways were frequently found in various human malignancies, making FGFRs hot targets for cancer treatment. To address the consistent need of new chemotype of FGFR inhibitors, here, we started with a hit structure identified from our internal c-Met inhibitor project, and conducted a chemical optimization. After exploring three parts of the hit compound, we finally discovered a new series of pyrrolo[2,3-b] pyrazine FGFR inhibitors, which contain a novel scaffold and unique molecular shape. We believed that our findings can benefit others to further develop selective FGFR inhibitors.
Green Tea Catechins for Prostate Cancer Prevention: Present Achievements and Future Challenges
Authors: Naponelli Valeria , Ramazzina Ileana , Lenzi Chiara , Bettuzzi Saverio , Rizzi Federica
Published: April 2017

Green Tea Catechins (GTCs) are a family of chemically related compounds usually classified as antioxidant molecules. Epidemiological evidences, supported by interventional studies, highlighted a more than promising role for GTCs in human Prostate Cancer (PCa) chemoprevention.In the last decades many efforts have been made to gain new insights into the mechanism of action of GTCs. Now it is clear that GTCs anticancer action can no longer be simplistically limited to their direct antioxidant/pro-oxidant properties. Recent contributions to the advancement of knowledge in this field have shown that GTCs specifically interact with cellular targets including, cell surface receptors, lipid rafts and endoplasmic reticulum, modulate gene expression through direct effect on transcription factors or indirect epigenetic mechanisms, interfere with intracellular proteostasis at various levels. Many of the effects observed in vitro are dose and cell context dependent and take place at concentration that cannot be achieved in vivo.Poor intestinal absorption together with an extensive systemic and enteric metabolism influence GTCs bioavailability through still poor understood mechanisms. Recent efforts to develop delivery systems that increase GTCs overall bioavailability, by mean of biopolymeric nanoparticles, represent the main way to translate preclinical results in a real clinical scenario for PCa chemoprevention.
PEREMPUAN PERIWAYAT HADIS-HADIS HUKUM DALAM KITAB BULUGH AL-MARAM KARYA IMAM IBN HAJAR AL-ASQALANI
Authors: Farida Umma
Published: April 2017

Kajian mengenai peran perempuan dalam bidang keagamaan pada umumnya tetap menemukan signifikansinya mengingat kajian tentang ketokohan perempuan dalam bidang tersebutmasih sangat langka. Artikel ini mencoba mengungkap peran perempuan dalam periwayatan hadis dengan memfokuskan pada kitabBulu>gh al-Mara>m min Adillah al-Ah}ka>m yang ditulis oleh Ibnu Hajar al-Asqalani dan merupakan salah satu kitab koleksi hadis hukum yang banyak dipelajari di pesantren-pesantren di Indonesia.

Adanya partisipasi kaum perempuan dalam periwayatan hadis sebagaimana terkodifikasi dalam kitab Bulu>gh al-Mara>m menunjukkan perhatian perempuan yang besar terhadap hadis Nabi Saw. Jumlah para periwayat tersebut mencapai 19 orang dengan tema periwayatan yang beragam. Jumlah ini cukup banyak mengingat kesibukan kaum perempuan dalam ruang domestik yang melebihi kaum lelaki. Selain itu, juga dikarenakan aktifitas perlawatan ilmiah yang menjadi salah satu sarana perolehan hadis masih sulit dilakukan kaum perempuan pada saat itu.Meski demikian kaum perempuan tidak jauh ketinggalan dalam berpartisipasi dan memantapkan eksistensi dan kapabilitasnya dalam periwayatan hadis.
Para muhaddis\in mengakui kualitas periwayatan hadis yang berasal dari sahabat perempuan. Hal ini terutama disebabkan kecenderungan para muhaddis\in yang tidak mempermasalahkan gender dalam periwayatan hadis. Dalam syarat-syarat ‘adalah dan dhabt}} yang harus diterapkan pada seorang periwayat hadis, misalnya, tidak terdapat ketentuan bahwa periwayat harus berjenis kelamin laki-laki.

Undeniably lately potential conflict between elements of Indonesian society increasingly worrying, between the organizations with another organizations of a conflict, between one party with another party blaspheme each other, between one expert to another expert is blame. This condition is exacerbated by widespread behavior spreading false news (Hoak) through in social media, so the president had to intervene to dampen this unnatural behavior. Even more sad again, this does not only happen in Indonesia, but has become a global phenomenon.

Hoak outbreak of course can not be separated from the lost of mutual respect and respecting others and far from harmonious and inclusive behavior in the midst of the peoples of Indonesia. Whereas previously the nation Indonesia is known as a nation that good at keeping the feelings of others, respecting others, behave in a harmonious and inclusive and forgiving against others. This condition is realized thanks to the philosophy of its predecessor which is still held firmly, like a life philosophy of Kyai Telingsing, Sheikh Ja'far Shodiq and Raden Umar Sa'id in Kudus.
But today it is the philosophy of living in harmony and inclusive inherited by the sunan narrowly missing eroded by the culture of individualism, selfishness and behavior to be selfish so it is not uncommon that emerges is precisely the behavior that led to the division and conflict. Therefore, efforts to revitalize the living tradition of inclusiveness in Kyais Telingsing, Sheikh Ja'far Shodiq and Raden Umar Sa'id in Kudus becomes very important. With hope these efforts can minimize the potential for conflict in the midst of society. This is the main purpose of this article writes

Objetivo. Analizar la asociación entre ciertos factores de riesgo relacionados con el tabaquismo en estudiantes de tercer año de odontología de países latinoamericanos. Material y métodos. Se analizaron los datos de la Encuesta Mundial de Estudiantes de Profesiones de la Salud (GHPSS, por sus siglas en inglés) mediante la aplicación de modelos de regresión logística. Resultados. De los 5 605 encuestados, 33% fumó y 45% estuvo expuesto al humo de segunda mano durante el mes pasado; 34% fumó en los edificios de las escuelas dentales durante el pasado año y 85% nunca recibió entrenamiento formal en cesación de tabaquismo. Ser boliviano, chileno o mexicano; estar expuestos al humo de segunda mano; no auto-percibirse como un “modelo a seguir” para los pacientes; y no creer que un profesional de salud que fuma es menos propenso a aconsejar a sus pacientes para dejar de fumar fueron factores asociados significativamente con el tabaquismo. Conclusiones. Todas las escuelas dentales deben fomentar las políticas contra el consumo de tabaco y ofrecer servicios de cesación de tabaquismo. La formación sobre cesación debe incorporarse a los planes de estudio con el fin de incluir a los profesionales dentales en la batalla contra la epidemia de tabaquismo.

The last decade has seen unprecedented achievements in global tobacco control. These include the entry into force of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) and 179 states, as well as the European Union, becoming Parties to the Treaty,leading to an increased global cognizance of the negative health and economic impact of tobacco use. Governments around the world continue to adopt and implement effective tobacco control strategies and financial contributions from major philanthropies have increased the levels of financial support for tobacco control efforts in low- and middle-income countries. The UN high-level summit on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) in 2011 and the 2015 adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in which NCDs and acceleration of implementation of WHO FCTC are included as specific targets, represent an increased global recognition of theneed to address tobacco use prevalence as a key element of NCD interventions...

Making Sense of the Professional Learning of Grade Six Teachers of Mathematics Implementing the Flipped Classroom Approach | Le perfectionnement professionnel des enseignants de mathématique en 6e année mettant en œuvre l’approche de la classe inversée
Authors: Goodnough Karen , Murphy Elizabeth
Published: April 2017

The purpose of this paper is to make sense of the professional learning of four teachers implementing a flipped classroom approach in their grade six mathematics class. The professional learning took place within a two-year Action Research (AR) project that engaged teachers in collaborative and iterative planning, implementation, observation and reflection. Data collection relied on semi-structured interviews, teachers’ reflections, plan of action, and final multimedia artefact. Post-project data analysis relied on a framework adapted from workplace and organizational learning. The findings revealed that, using the AR model in conjunction with a flipped approach, teachers learned to expand their practice to encompass teaching as collaborative inquiry and design. Implications point to the potential role of the approach for scaffolding teachers’ professional learning in contexts of educational reform. Implications also highlight the value of community and of models of inquiry for supporting and scaffolding teachers’ complex learning as they implement a flipped approach. Future studies may investigate issues of sustainability and feasibility of teachers’ professional learning with the flipped approach using other models of inquiry and in other grades and subject areas.L’objet de cet article est de saisir la signification du perfectionnement professionnel de quatre enseignants mettant en œuvre l’approche de la classe inversée dans leur cours de mathématique en 6e année. Le perfectionnement professionnel s’est déroulé durant un projet de recherche-action de deux ans au cours duquel les enseignants ont pris part à une planification collaborative et itérative, à une mise en application, à de l’observation et à une réflexion. La collecte de données s’est basée sur des entrevues semi-structurées, sur les réflexions des enseignants, sur des plans d’action et sur les artefacts multimédias finaux. L’analyse des données post-projet s’est appuyée sur un cadre adapté issu de l’apprentissage en milieu de travail et de l’apprentissage organisationnel. Les conclusions révèlent que des enseignants ayant différents niveaux d’expertise dans leur discipline, d’aisance avec la technologie et d’expérience en enseignement ont amélioré leur pratique en enrichissant leur collectivité et leurs outils pour devenir concepteurs de l’apprentissage. De futures études pourraient se pencher sur les questions de la durabilité et de la faisabilité du perfectionnement professionnel des enseignants appuyé par la recherche-action, ainsi que sur l’approche inversée pour déterminer quels outils sont les plus essentiels. Les implications ont souligné la différence de mise en œuvre de l’approche inversée de la maternelle à la 12e année comparativement à sa mise en œuvre en contexte postsecondaire relativement à la participation des parents.
Understanding School Board Leaders Use of Online Resources to Inform Decision-Making | Examen de l’usage des ressources en ligne par les dirigeants des conseils scolaires pour guider les prises de décisions
Authors: Kay Robin Holding , Carruthers Loralea
Published: April 2017

In the past five years, there has been considerable interest in the decision-making process of school board officials in the field of education.  However, a paucity of research exists on how these leaders use online resources to make decisions.  Through an online survey and face to face interviews, this study examined the use of online resources by school-board trustees (n=164) to guide board-level decisions.  Trustees used online articles (news, research articles, journals) twice as much as social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs) or repository services (clipping services, Google Scholar).  Almost 70% of trustees used three or more resources to inform their decision making.  Seventy-five to 85% of trustees rated online articles and repository services as being useful.   Trustees actively checked the trustworthiness of online resources by evaluating sources, cross-checking data, and asking colleagues.  Key barriers to using online resources included lack of time, finding reliable or relevant information, and negotiating conflicting results.  Some trustees wanted access to a third-party, repository of valid, reliable information.Au cours des cinq dernières années, le processus de prise de décisions des officiels des conseils scolaires a suscité un grand intérêt. Il existe cependant peu d’études sur la façon dont ces dirigeants utilisent les ressources en ligne pour guider leurs prises de décisions. Grâce à un sondage en ligne et à des entrevues menées en personne, la présente étude se penche sur l’usage que font les commissaires scolaires (n=164) des ressources en ligne pour appuyer les décisions du conseil. Les commissaires se servaient d’articles en ligne (actualités, articles de recherche, revues) deux fois plus que des réseaux sociaux (Twitter, Facebook, blogues) ou de services d’archivage (services de coupures de presse, Google Scholar). Près de 70 % des commissaires se servaient de trois ressources ou plus pour guider leurs décisions. De 75 % à 85 % des commissaires estimaient que les articles en ligne et les services d’archivage étaient utiles. Les commissaires vérifiaient activement la fiabilité des ressources en ligne en évaluant les sources, en recoupant les données et en demandant l’avis de collègues. Les principaux obstacles à l’usage des ressources en ligne comprenaient le manque de temps, la difficulté à trouver des renseignements fiables ou pertinents, et l’évaluation de résultats contradictoires. Certains commissaires souhaitaient accéder à des archives externes rassemblant des renseignements fiables et valides.
AS TRANSFERÊNCIAS TRANSATLÂNTICAS DE DADOS PESSOAIS: O NÍVEL DE PROTEÇÃO ADEQUADO DEPOIS DE SCHREMS
Authors: Rodrigues Araújo Alexandra Maria
Published: April 2017

O princípio do nível de proteção adequado está no cerne da legislação de proteção de dados da União Europeia. Pressupõe, que uma transferência para um país terceiro/organização internacional só seja permitida se estiver assegurado um nível adequado de proteção para os dados pessoais a transferir. Neste artigo, analisa-se este princípio através de um estudo do conceito na legislação europeia sobre proteção de dados e, também, no recente acórdão Schrems do Tribunal de Justiça da União Europeia. Este acórdão tem uma importância crucial na interpretação deste princípio. Nele, o Tribunal esclarece, pela primeira vez, que este conceito exige ao país terceiro em questão assegurar um nível de proteção dos dados pessoais substancialmente equivalente ao conferido dentro da União Europeia. Desta forma, preserva-se uma certa margem de abertura para adaptar as apreciações de adequação às diferentes culturas e tradições jurídicas. Ao mesmo tempo, reforça-se, a nível internacional, o direito à proteção de dados pessoais tal como está protegido na Carta dos Direitos Fundamentais da União Europeia.

Perceived stress was measured using 10 items of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), body image was evaluated using 16 items of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-16) and obesity was estimated using the percentage of body fat calculated from anthropometric measurements. Chi-square test, Spearman correlation analysis, and odds ratio were used to test the hypotheses.Results: There was significant correlation between obesity and body image in male (r= 0.32, p<0,01) and female students (r= 0.23, p<0,05). Obese male students were 7 times likely to have negative body image than non-obese male students. While no significant relationship was found between obesity and perceived stress,  non-obese students had almost two times likely to perceive stress. Similarly, body image was not significantly related to perceived stress in male and female students, however, it was likely that students with negative body image had about 1,5 times to feel stress than those with positive body image.Conclusion: Obesity was significantly associated with body image among male and female college students in Yogyakarta Province. However, no significant relationship was found between obesity and perceived stress as well as between body image and perceived stress among the students.

Background:  Breakfast can meet energy requirement of school children to conduct their daily activity all day. But, in reality, there are many school children who do not behave in a healthy breakfast that can meet the needs of 30% of energy. One of reason is a lack of knowledge and practice of the mother in preparing a healthy breakfast for their children.Objective: To assess the influence of media outreach breakfast (booklets, flipchart, and short films) on the mothers' knowledge of healthy breakfast schoolchildren.Method: Design of quasi-experimental one group pre-post test used in the study towards 186 mothers from ten the selected elementary school at Depok City. Mother's knowledge was measured through a questionnaire pre-post test.Results: There was increased in knowledge of mothers at the end of the study with correct answers given by the mother on the question of the type of food that should be avoided at breakfast. Increased knowledge of the mother before and after the study was differed significantly according to age groups (p <0.05). Older age of mother has better knowledge than younger.Conclusion: Knowledge of mothers on healthy breakfast can be improved through counseling using flipcharts, booklets, and short film.

Background: Vegetarian diet has become a popular diet among people. The information about the benefits of going plant-based as opposed to the risks of degenerative illnesses is widespread and publicly eligible. However, the diet is known to cause the lack of some nutrients such as protein, iron, and B12, which has the implication on one's nutritional status.Objective: The study is aimed at identifying nutrient intake and nutritional status vegetarians and the influential factors among vegetarians in Yogyakarta.Method: The study is an observational one with a cross sectional design. It is conducted on vegetarians living in Yogyakarta, which, as methodologically required, involves 102 respondents. The nutritional intake is measured through Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and the nutritional status through the Body Mass Index status, ferritin serum level, protein serum level and hemoglobin level. The data are analysed using chi square and multiple logistic regression.Results: The mean intake of energy, fat, zinc, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 is higher in lactoovo vegetarian while vegan is the higher intake of carbohydrates, protein, iron, folic acid, and vitamin C. Some nutritional intake of less than 80% of AKG is the intake of energy, carbohydrates, zinc, folic acid, and vitamin B12. There are significant differences of the intakes of vitamin B12 between both groups. The vegan’s IMT is lower than lactoovo vegetarian. Lactoovo vegetarian’s protein serum levels are higher, however serum levels of vegan’s ferritin and hemoglobin are higher. There are significant differences in serum levels of protein and hemoglobin levels in both groups. There is a significant relation between the intake of iron and hemoglobin levels in vegetarians.Conclusion: Lactoovo vegetarian diet and vegan diet can fulfill the nutritional adequacy, but the things that need to keep in mind are the quality and quantity of food and a good diet plan in order to comply all the nutritional adequacy especially food sources of zinc, folic acid, and vitamin B12.

The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of slotted air gap constructive parameters on magnetic flux density of rotating machines. For this purpose, different approaches were used to solve the air gap field diagram using finite element method and the magnetic field distribution uniformity was evaluated by Carter's factor calculation on two-dimensional and three-dimensional models. Sensitivity analysis of slot constructive parameters was performed and results show that slot geometry modifies the magnetic flux on air gap and shifts the air gap magnetic equipotential midline of double slotted machines. Finally, minimization of Carter’s factor on two-dimensional model presents an optimized slot geometry with a near uniform magnetic flux density distribution.
