Multimodal non-surgical treatment of a feline tracheal adenocarcinoma
Authors: Azevedo Carolina , Brawner William , Schleis Lindley Stephanie , Smith Annette
Published: February 2017

Case summary

A 10-year-old, castrated male domestic shorthair cat presented with a 2–3 month history of weight loss, lethargy and coughing. Thoracic radiographs revealed a soft tissue opacity overlying the dorsal trachea from the first rib to second rib and the ventral aspect of the trachea extending from the second rib to approximately the fourth rib. CT confirmed a mass involving the dorsal, right lateral and ventral aspects of the trachea narrowing the lumen and extending from vertebra C7 through T4. Bronchoscopy revealed a partially circumferential irregular and multilobulated tracheal mass, which was biopsied. The histopathological diagnosis was tracheal adenocarcinoma. The cat was treated with a definitive course of external beam radiation therapy (RT; 3 Gy × 18), cytotoxic chemotherapy, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor and palliative RT. The cat remained asymptomatic for 2 months and the mass remained stable radiographically for 11 months after RT.

Relevance and novel information

With multimodal treatment the cat had a survival time of 755 days. Initial treatment included definitive RT, carboplatin and piroxicam, followed by toceranib phosphate and palliative RT when the mass recurred. This case report describes the first documented use of non-surgical treatment and long-term outcome of tracheal adenocarcinoma in a cat. This case report is an indication that prolonged survival can be achieved with multimodal therapy.
Tradeoff Between Distributed Social Learning and Herding Effect in Online Rating Systems
Authors: Tchernichovski Ofer , King Marissa , Brinkmann Peter , Halkias Xanadu , Fimiarz Daniel , Mars Laurent , Conley Dalton
Published: February 2017

We investigated how social diffusion increased client participation in an online rating system and, in turn, how this herding effect may affect the metrics of client feedback over the course of years. In a field study, we set up a transparent feedback system for university services: During the process of making service requests, clients were presented with short-term trends of client satisfaction with relevant service outcomes. Deploying this feedback system initially increased satisfaction moderately. Thereafter, mean satisfaction levels remained stable between 50% and 60%. Interestingly, at the individual client level, satisfaction increased significantly with experience despite the lack of any global trend across all users. These conflicting results can be explained at the social network level: If satisfied clients attracted new clients with more negative attitudes (a herding effect), then the net increase in service clients may dampen changes in global trends at the individual level. Three observations support this hypothesis: first, the number of service clients providing feedback increased monotonically over time. Second, spatial analysis of service requests showed a pattern of expansion from floor to floor. Finally, satisfaction increased over iterations only in clients who scored below average.
Subnational governance for the low carbon energy transition: Mapping the UK’s ‘Energy Constitution’
Authors: Muinzer Thomas L , Ellis Geraint
Published: February 2017

The UK has a ‘national’ strategy to decarbonise its energy sector, yet the transfer of key responsibilities to its Devolved Administrations has meant that they control many of the powers that determine the rate and extent of the decarbonisation process. This reflects an asymmetrical distribution of legal responsibilities that has cast a complex range of powers ‘downward’ from the national sphere to subnational scales and which plays a crucial role in shaping the agency at different levels of the UK’s energy governance. This paper provides a detailed exploration of the UK’s ‘Energy Constitution’ as a means of examining the way in which the complex legal framework of devolution shapes the spatial organisation of the UK’s low carbon transition. Previous research on the low carbon transition has remained largely ‘lawless’ and as such has tended to overlook how the legal regimes governing energy both produce space and are shaped by its geographic context. The paper therefore develops a more nuanced understanding of the spatiality, territorialisation and scaling of UK energy governance to highlight a nexus of ambiguity and partial power allocation distributed across a plurality of overlapping ‘legal’ jurisdictions. This raises fundamental questions over how UK constitutional arrangements reify the territoriality of energy governance and structure the relationships between national and subnational multi-level decarbonisation processes.
An Extubation Protocol for Angioedema
Authors: Floyd Elizabeth , Goldstein Nira A. , Joks Rauno , Mascaro Miguel , Liaw Christine , Dickson Bradley , Varughese Denny , Silverman Joshua
Published: February 2017

Angioedema—nonpitting edema of the mucous membranes and skin—most commonly occurs as a complication from the use of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors. At our institution, the otolaryngology department has incorporated the use of the endotracheal tube cuff‐leak test and bedside direct laryngoscopy to aid in timing for extubation of angioedema patients. Prospective data collection of patients presenting to the emergency department with angioedema was performed. Of 76 patients with angioedema, 9 required fiberoptic intubation. Intubation was performed at a median of 73 hours (range, 44‐118). An endotracheal tube cuff‐leak test was performed in 7 patients prior to extubation, and bedside direct laryngoscopy was also performed in 3 of these 7 patients to document resolution of laryngeal edema. The use of the endotracheal tube cuff‐leak test and bedside direct laryngoscopy is an easy and inexpensive method to help determine eligibility for extubation in patients intubated for angioedema.

Jiangella gansuensis strain YIM 002T is the type strain of the type species of the genus Jiangella, which is at the present time composed of five species, and was isolated from desert soil sample in Gansu Province (China). The five strains of this genus are clustered in a monophyletic group when closer actinobacterial genera are used to infer a 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny. The study of this genome is part of the GenomicEncyclopedia ofBacteria andArchaea project, and here we describe the complete genome sequence and annotation of this taxon. The genome of J. gansuensis strain YIM 002T contains a single scaffold of size 5,585,780 bp, which involves 149 pseudogenes, 4905 protein-coding genes and 50 RNA genes, including 2520 hypothetical proteins and 4 rRNA genes. From the investigation of genome sizes of Jiangella species, J. gansuensis shows a smaller size, which indicates this strain might have discarded too much genetic information to adapt to desert environment. Seven new compounds from this bacterium have recently been described; however, its potential should be higher, as secondary metabolite gene cluster analysis predicted 60 gene clusters, including the potential to produce the pristinamycin.
Dynamic Response of Underground Structures in Sand: Experimental Data
Authors: Lemnitzer Anne , Keykhosropour Lohrasb , Kawamata Yohsuke , Towhata Ikuo
Published: February 2017

A densely instrumented system of large-scale underground structures consisting of two vertical shafts connected through a cut-and-cover tunnel and two independent shield tunnels was installed in an 8 m-diameter laminar soil box at the E-Defense shake table in Miki, Japan. The system was subjected to step-sine sweeps and scaled ground motion records of the Kobe (1995) earthquake. The underground structures were embedded in Albany Silica Sand with an average relative density of 54%. System instrumentation consisted of over 800 sensors, including strain gauges, accelerometers, displacement transducers, bender elements and pressure sensors. A U.S.-Japanese research collaboration was established to instrument the vertical shaft elements and record seismic soil pressures. Data records are archived at the NHERI DesignSafe Data Depot_and can be used to analyze the structural response, soil-structure interaction and other response parameters of individual subsurface components as well as the entire system. The DOI for the data set is 10.17603/DS21C78.
Extremely fast and incredibly close: cotranscriptional splicing in budding yeast
Authors: Wallace Edward W.J. , Beggs Jean D.
Published: February 2017

RNA splicing, an essential part of eukaryotic pre-messenger RNA processing, can be simultaneous with transcription by RNA polymerase II. Here, we compare and review independent next-generation sequencing methods that jointly quantify transcription and splicing in budding yeast. For many yeast transcripts, splicing is fast, taking place within seconds of intron transcription, while polymerase is within a few dozens of nucleotides of the 3′ splice site. Ribosomal protein transcripts are spliced particularly fast and cotranscriptionally. However, some transcripts are spliced inefficiently or mainly post-transcriptionally. Intron-mediated regulation of some genes is likely to be cotranscriptional. We suggest that intermediates of the splicing reaction, missing from current data sets, may hold key information about splicing kinetics.

The Danish trans-fatty acids ban: alliances, mental maps and co-production of policies and research
Authors: Vallgårda Signild
Published: February 2017

In 2003 an executive order was issued banning industrially produced trans-fatty acids above a low level in food items in Denmark. To date, only a few other countries have followed Denmark’s example. The way health consequences of trans fats were translated by the different actors enabled the creation of alliances between researchers, politicians, administration and industry. Danish researchers interpreted the research in a way to suit their ‘mental maps’ and to support their initially set goal to reduce industrially produced trans fats. The process displayed a ‘co-production’ where research and policymaking influenced research interpretations.
Mask – ArtsCross/Danscross London
Authors: Lei Guo
Published: February 2017

The culture of Nuo is a kind of culture symbol, which is also a worldwide ancient folk art. In my hometown in Jiangxi, China, Nuo dance has been handed down for generations. For this reason, I hope to utilize the platform of ArtsCross/Danscross to present the world with this ancient culture. It is truly representative of the view of life and the universe in the minds of Chinese people. This is the creative motivation of Mask, which is based on the elements of Nuo dance. My intention is to ponder the ancient Nuo culture in terms of the creation of Mask – what is the perception of affiliation or the real demand of humanity that lies behind the masks?
Dancing with the sound of birds: Atmospheres and translation in ArtsCross/Danscross
Authors: Welton Martin
Published: February 2017

In this article I consider three instances of the extra-linguistic translation of embodiment, affect and aesthetics in the context of intercultural performance during the ArtsCross/Danscross project between 2011 and 2013. Drawing on Francois Jullien’s proposition that cultural knowledges might be considered in respect of ‘divergence’ rather than ‘difference’, I draw together Western phenomenologies of atmosphere with Chinese aesthetics to examine movement among bodies as atmospheric currents. Through close readings of instances of translation as it relates to dance practice in rehearsals for Bulareyaung Pagarlava’s Uncertain… Waiting… (2011), Liu Yan’s Say to Him (2012) and Riccardo Buscarini’s No Lander (2013), I argue that attention to the affective aesthetics of atmosphere allows for an understanding of how intercultural performance projects such as ArtsCross/Danscross model modes of ‘feeling together, differently’.
Ways of doing, ways of thinking, ways of moving together: Considerations for cross-cultural encounters and exchanges in and through dance practice
Authors: Sachsenmaier Stefanie
Published: February 2017

In each of the encounters that were and continue to be facilitated through the project ArtsCross/Danscross, sets of relational agendas are being instigated, which tie into complex historical and current political as well as cultural entanglements between the countries of origin of the practitioners involved. In integrating dance practitioners from the cities of Beijing, London and Taipei, who work together towards publicly performed choreographic works, the project is set to involve processes of cultural translation between practitioners from specific places that bring with themselves equally specific ways of doing and thinking. In this article I extend my thinking around the issues arising from and within the cross-cultural encounters, building on a previously written chapter published in the co-edited collection Collaboration in Performance Practice: Premises, Workings and Failures (Sachsenmaier in Colin and Sachsenmaier (eds.) 2016). More than bringing practitioners from different localities together to create dance works, the project ArtsCross/Danscross set up spaces of encounter of practitioners as well as practices as such – practices as established in varying ways of doing in different places. I discuss examples of choreographic practice with a focus on issues identified in the related fields of Global and Translation Studies, while arguing that these practices retain their own logic and ways of working, as well as producing ‘new forms of experience’, which are ‘extra-linguistic’.
Computational gait analysis using fuzzy logic for everyday clinical purposes – preliminary findings
Authors: Mikołajewska Emilia , Prokopowicz Piotr , Mikolajewski Dariusz
Published: February 2017

Background:

Proper, early, and exact identification of gait impairments and their causes is regarded as a prerequisite for specific therapy and a useful control tool to assess efficacy of rehabilitation. There is a need for simple tools allowing for quickly detecting general tendencies.

Objective:

The aim of this paper is to present the outcomes of traditional and fuzzy-based analysis of the outcomes of post-stroke gait reeducation using the NeuroDevelopmental Treatment-Bobath (NDT-Bobath) method.

Materials and methods:

The research was conducted among 40 adult people: 20 of them after ischemic stroke constituted the study group, and 20 healthy people constituted the reference group. Study group members were treated through 2 weeks (10 therapeutic sessions) using the NDT-Bobath method. Spatio-temporal gait parameters were assessed before and after therapy and compared using novel fuzzy-based assessment tool.

Results:

Achieved results of rehabilitation, observed as changes of gait parameters, were statistically relevant and reflected recovery. One-number outcomes from the proposed fuzzy-based estimator proved moderate to high consistency with the results of the traditional gait assessment.

Conclusions:

Observed statistically significant and favorable changes in the health status of patients, described by gait parameters, were reflected also in outcomes of fuzzy-based analysis. Proposed fuzzy-based measure increases possibility of the clinical gait assessment toward more objective clinical reasoning based on common use of the mHealth solutions.
A Two-Stage Space-Time Adaptive Processing Method for MIMO Radar Based on Sparse Reconstruction
Authors: Liu Hanwei , Zhang Yongshun , Guo Yiduo , Wang Qiang
Published: February 2017

To effectively suppress clutter and blocking interference for MIMO radar, a two-stage STAP method based on sparse reconstruction is proposed. As interference is sparse in spatial domain, the subspace of it is estimated with only one snapshot by using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm, and the array data is projected onto the complementary subspace of interference. In the sequel, matched-filtering is applied to the output data followed by clutter suppression with temporal and spatial freedom. The clutter suppression is utilized directly to reduced-dimension STAP (RD-STAP) algorithms. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms traditional methods and reduces sample requirement.
A Compact Quad-Band Bandpass Filter Based on Defected Microstrip Structure
Authors: Chen Lei , Li Xiao Yan , Wei Feng
Published: February 2017

A compact quad-band band-pass filter (BPF) based on stub loaded resonators (SLRs) with defected microstrip structure (DMS) is analyzed and designed in this paper. The proposed resonator is created by embedding DMS into the SLR and can achieve four narrow passbands. By employing the pseudointerdigital coupling structure between the two resonators, transmission zeros among each passband are generated to improve the passband selectivity and a high isolation is achieved. In order to validate its practicability, a prototype of a quad-band BPF centred at 1.57, 2.5, 4.3 and 5.2 GHz is designed and fabricated. The proposed filter is more compact due to the slow-wave characteristic of DMS. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement with each other. In addition, the DMS idea can be extended to the design of other microstrip passive devices.
Imperfect Credit Markets and Crime
Authors: Baumann Florian , Friehe Tim
Published: February 2017

This paper analyzes the link between individual crime choices and imperfect credit markets. The study shows that, by affecting the equilibrium lending rate, credit market characteristics such as the mark-up required by lenders or the severity of information asymmetries between lenders and loan applicants influence the extent of crime. For example, higher mark-ups incite more crime when less borrowing makes the criminal opportunity more tempting. Similarly, law enforcement policies may impact on the credit market equilibrium.
El prejuicio y la cuestión crítica: una tensión fundamental en Verdad y Método
Authors: Bárcenas Ramón
Published: February 2017

Gadamer argumenta contra la lectura moderna del prejuicio que éste no es mera fuente de error sino ante todo posibilidad de experimentar la verdad. A pesar de la rehabilitación hermenéutica del prejuicio, lo cierto es que éste puede conducirnos tanto a la verdad como al error. Por esta razón, es necesario distinguir los presupuestos que nos llevan a la comprensión de aquellos que nos conducen al malentendido. A esta exigencia metodológica Gadamer la caracteriza como la “verdadera cuestión crítica de la hermenéutica”. En este texto se muestra que existe una tensión fundamental en Verdad y método entre la rehabilitación ontológica del prejuicio y la exigencia epistemológica de diferenciar los prejuicios legítimos de los ilegítimos.

Published: February 2017

Exposure to sunlight may limit cardiometabolic risk. In our previous studies, regular exposure to sub-erythemal (non-burning) ultraviolet radiation (UVR) reduced signs of adiposity and cardiometabolic dysfunction in mice fed a high-fat diet. Some of the observed effects were dependent on skin release of nitric oxide after UVR exposure. Here, we examine the effects of sub-erythemal UVR on signs of adiposity and metabolic dysfunction in already overweight mice, comparing the effects of two sunlamps with distinct emitted light spectra. Mice were fed a high-fat diet from 8 weeks of age, with UVR administered twice a week from 14 weeks of age until they were killed at 20 weeks of age. Mice were irradiated with the same dose of UVB radiation (1 kJ/m2) from either FS40 (65% UVB, 35% UVA) or CLEO (4% UVB, 96% UVA) sunlamps, but substantially more UVA from the latter. FS40 UVR (but not CLEO UVR) significantly reduced mouse weights and weight gain, compared to mice fed a high-fat diet (only). These effects were dependent on nitric oxide. Conversely, CLEO UVR (but not FS40 UVR) significantly reduced circulating LDL cholesterol. Both light sources reduced fasting insulin levels, and the extent of hepatic steatosis; the latter was reversed by topical application of cPTIO, suggesting an important role for skin release of nitric oxide in preventing hepatic lipid accumulation. These results suggest that there may be a number of benefits achieved by regular exposure to safe (non-burning) levels of sunlight or UV-containing phototherapy, with effects potentially dependent on the predominance of the wavelengths of UVR administered.

Preparation of a Silicon Oximide Gel via a Non-Aqueous Sol-Gel Route
Authors: Cheng Fei , Bradley John S.
Published: February 2017

A silicon oximide gel was prepared by a reaction in N,N-dimethylformamide between tris(dimethylamino)silylamine (Me2N)3SiNH2 (TDSA) and formamide in a 1:2 molar ratio at 50C. The 29Si, 13C CP-MAS NMR and IR analyses indicated that the gel mainly comprised oximino silicon networks [SiOC(H)=NSi]x. The gel exhibited a microporous structure and had a total surface area of 339 m2/g. A microporous structure with a BET surface area of 195 m2/g was also obtained after pyrolysis of the gel at 1000°C for 2 h. Pyrolysis of the gel under N2 up to 1485°C gave an amorphous silicon oxycarbonitride glass.
From Bifurcations to Chua's Periodic Table
Authors: Tonelli Roberto , Chua Len O. , Meloni Franco
Published: February 2017

We describe and discuss the similarites in two different kinds of physical systems: Chua's circuit (and, broady speaking, chaotic systems) and atoms in the Periodic Table. We anayze the regularities arising from the chaotic nature of the former against the regularities in the energy spectra of the second. We show the existing analogies among the Bohr's law and the bifurcation diagram building a map connecting each energy level in atoms to each point in the bifurcation diagram in the parameter space. We found a genera rule valid for many element of the Periodic Table by calculating the two-dimensional bifurcation diagram versus Bohr's law. The result is a one-to-one correspondence between atoms and nonlinear Chua's circuits. Finaly we discuss possible implications of the model when applied to more complicated systems like molecules or atomic clusters.
Phase Separation in Alumina-Chromia
Authors: McIntosh M. S. , Sanders T. H. , Hampikian J. M.
Published: February 2017

The alumina-chromia system shows complete mutual solubility and is represented by an isomorphous phase diagram. However, the alumina-chromia system exhibits an asymmetric miscibility gap under 1300°C. Using existing data from the literature, the alumina-chromia system was assessed using thermodynamic modeling by Kim and Sanders [1]. Regular and subregular solution models for the liquid and solid phases were used to define the phase boundaries for the miscibility gap in this system. Using this thermodynamic representation of the miscibility gap to select temperatures of interest, 75 mole percent Al2O3samples were synthesized via combustion of powders, followed by pressing into pellets and heat-treated for various times and temperatures. Both X-ray and TEM analysis showed evidence of spinodal decomposition after heat-treatment. X-ray analysis showed that decreasing the heat-treatment temperature increases the compositional difference between the phases present. The experimentally observed microstructures exhibit lamella-like structures that vary in spacing from 8nm to 3nm as the heat-treatment temperature varies from 400°C to 800°C.

Authors: Prisantoso Budi Iskandar , Badrudin Badrudin
Published: February 2017

Sumber daya ikan kakap merah di Laut Arafura secara efektif dimanfaatkan oleh perikanan rawai dasar dan pukat ikan skala industri. Pukat udang dengan target penangkapan udang tertangkap juga sejumlah besar ikan demersal, di mana ikan kakap merah (Lutjanus spp.) berukuran kecil sering tertangkap dalam jumlah yang sedikit. Melaui kajian genetic similarity Australia menyimpulkan bahwa ikan kakap merah di kedua sektor Laut Arafura tersebut merupakan satu unit stok yang dikelola secara bersama melalui kerangka kerja Indonesia- Australia shared snapper management plan. Secara ekonomi, langkah pengelolaan bersama tersebut mempunyai implikasi luas yang berpotensi merugikan Indonesia. Hasil analisis data dan informasi lanjutan menemukan bahwa populasi ikan kakap merah di kedua sektor perairan Laut Arafura merupakan unit-unit stok yang terpisah dengan cakupan kawasan perairan yang sangat luas (mega separate stock). Dengan demikian stok ikan kakap merah di kedua sektor Laut Arafura tersebut dapat dikelola sesuai dengan yurisdiksi, kebijakan, dan tujuan pengelolaan yang ditetapkan oleh masing-masing negara.Red snapper resources in the Arafura Sea have been effectively exploited by the industrial scale of bottom long line, fish trawl, and shrimp trawl fisheries. A substantial mount of demersal fish caught by the shrimp trawl fisheries in which a small size (juvenile) red snapper species was also retained. Through genetic similarity studies Australia concluded that the red snapper stock in both sector of the Arafura Sea belong to one stock unit and should collaborative managed under the framework of Indonesia-Australia shared snapper management plan. Based on the economic aspect this management has a wide implication that lead to some potential losses to Indonesia. Further studies on some population dynamics aspects and analysis of the available data and information it was found that the red snapper stocks in the two sectors of the Arafura Sea provide a mega separate stock, occupying a very wide waters area. Based on these findings it can be stated that management of these mega separate stock could be managed in accordance with their respective jurisdictions, policies, and management objectives set up by the respective countries.
Plasmapheresis in the Management of Acute Pancreatitis due to Severe Hypertriglyceridemia—Reporting New Cases
Authors: Campos Andreia , Santos Josefina , Freitas Cristina , Castro Ana , Santos Sofia , Pedro Pimentel Joa ̃o , Cabrita António
Published: February 2017

Acute pancreatitis is a potentially life-threatening disease. If the diagnosis and the treatment are not prompt, it can rapidly evolve to a medical emergency. Severe hypertriglyceridemia, defined as above 1000 mg/dl, is the third most common cause of acute pancreatitis. Conventional management includes fat dietary restriction and pharmacological treatment; however, these measures take time to be effective. Plasmapheresis seems to be an alternative and safe adjunctive therapy because it allows the rapid reduction of the trigger agent in circulation. Its use, especially in severe cases, has been increasingly reported. The authors report three cases of severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis in which early plasmapheresis was successfully used with other supportive clinical management.

A maioria (76,56%) dos membros da equipe de enfermagem não verificou o VRG antes de infundir a dieta por sonda nasogástrica (SNG), embora 90,63% tenha informado que realiza o procedimento. Do total, 20,31% afirmaram abrir a SNG a partir de 100ml de VRG, a maioria referiu desprezar o aspirado e 57,81% citaram administrar 100% do volume prescrito independente do VRG aspirado pela SNG. O estudo revelou a necessidade de supervisão e orientação para a equipe de enfermagem relacionada aos cuidados pertinentes à infusão da dieta por SNG.

Authors: Ciampone Maria Helena Trench
Published: February 2017

O estudo foi realizado em uma instituição que existe indivíduos portadores de deficiência mental. Aqui denominada CASA GRANDE, a instituição abriga cerca de 900 internos. O cuidado direto aos internos é prestado por aproximadamente 400 pajens, formalmente subordinadas ao Serviço de Enfermagem. O propósito desse estudo foi conhecer e compreender como se dá o trabalho das pajens nesse contexto. Para tanto, partiu-se das representações que estas tem à respeito desse cuidar. A análise dessas representações propiciou a compreensão da dimensão simbólica desse trabalho, bem como da psicodinâmica aí compreendida, tanto ao nível da mulher trabalhadora, grupo e instituição.

Trata-se de parte de estudo onde avalia-se o conhecimento e a prática de enfermeiros e ocupacionais de enfermagem em relação a medidas de prevenção e controle de infecções hospitalares em vinte e nove hospitais gerais, da cidade de São Paulo. Objetiva, além de avaliar o conhecimento e a prática acerca das medidas de prevenção e controle das infecções, investigar se existem diferenças entre os níveis de conhecimento e de atuação prática dos enfermeiros e ocupacionais de enfermagem, quando lotados em diferentes grupos de hospitais: hospitais públicos com serviço de prevenção e controle de infecções hospitalares; hospitais públicos sem serviço de prevenção e controle de infecções hospitalares; hospitais privados com serviço e privados sem o referido serviço. Constata-se que existem lacunas no que se refere ao conhecimento e a prática acerca das medidas de prevenção e controle das infecções estudadas e que embora se detectem diferenças significativas para o conhecimento e a prática dos profissionais e ocupacionais de enfermagem, quando lotados em diferentes grupos de hospitais, a análise de perguntas isoladas nem sempre distingue, com significância, os mesmos grupos.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar a freqüência com que é realizado o diagnóstico precoce do câncer de mama e de colo uterino no município de Guarapuava, Paraná. Realizou-se estudo transversal de base populacional, incluindo 885 mulheres com idade mínima de 18 anos, no período de outubro a dezembro de 2006. Considerou-se nível de confiança de 95% e margem de erro de 3% para cálculo amostral. Utilizou-se o software Statistica versão 7.1 para a análise dos dados, considerando nível de significância de 5%. O auto-exame das mamas foi realizado por 63% das entrevistadas e o exame clínico em 49%. A mamografia foi realizada por menos de um quarto da amostra. A prevenção do câncer de colo uterino foi praticada pela maioria das mulheres (80%). Conclui-se que as mulheres da amostra estudada realizam exames preventivos de câncer de mama com menos freqüência, se comparado ao exame preventivo de colo de útero.

Para melhor compreender a adesão dos alunos a um Programa de Mentoring, o Programa Tutores FMUSP, este estudo qualitativo explorou as razões apresentadas pelos estudantes em relação ao seu envolvimento com a atividade, no período 2004-2005, antes e depois de mudanças estruturais no programa (inserção da atividade na grade horária). Os estudantes avaliam anualmente o programa por meio de um questionário estruturado - "O Tutorando". Nele, uma questão específica sobre adesão é apresentada e foi analisada neste estudo. A análise dos resultados mostra que a troca de experiência entre alunos de diferentes anos, mediada por um tutor habilidoso, promove uma visão ampliada do curso e da profissão e motiva os alunos a participarem mais do programa. Tutores que se desligam do programa, agendamento irregular dos encontros, comunicação não efetiva, discussão de temas desinteressantes contribuem para uma baixa adesão. A inserção do programa na grade horária oficial resolveu importantes problemas, mas muitos alunos ainda preferem usar o tempo do Mentoring para outras atividades acadêmicas ou necessidades pessoais. O mentoring informal e grupos com uma dinâmica ruim também justificam, para os alunos, uma menor adesão. O sucesso de um Programa de Mentoring, no que diz respeito à adesão dos alunos, mostra estar vinculado não apenas a uma estrutura adequada, mas também às características pessoais e valores dos participantes.

O beneficiamento de sementes é uma etapa subsequente à produção que visa aprimorar a qualidade de lotes, tornando-os aptos para a comercialização. Para espécies cujas sementes contêm diferenças na densidade em virtude da desuniformidade de maturação ou muito susceptíveis a danos mecânicos como o nabo forrageiro, é fundamental o conhecimento dos efeitos do beneficiamento no potencial fisiológico dos lotes. Dois lotes da cultivar CATI AL-1000, safra 2006, foram submetidos ao beneficiamento, pela máquina de ar e peneira e mesa de gravidade (descarga superior, intermediária superior, intermediária inferior e inferior) e avaliados em relação a seus aspectos físicos e fisiológicos. Foram determinados o grau de umidade, a pureza, o peso de mil sementes, a germinação, a primeira contagem da germinação, o índice de velocidade de germinação, o estande inicial, a emergência, o índice de velocidade de emergência, a massa seca da parte aérea de plântulas e a sanidade. Concluiu-se que, para atender os padrões mínimos de pureza e germinação para comercialização de sementes certificadas de nabo forrageiro, os lotes devem ser beneficiados em máquina de ar e peneiras e mesa de gravidade. O beneficiamento em máquina de ar, peneiras e mesa gravitacional contribui para o aprimoramento da qualidade fisiológica das sementes de nabo forrageiro. A máquina de ar e peneiras e a mesa gravitacional são equipamentos eficientes para a separação do lote de sementes de nabo forrageiro em frações com qualidade física e fisiológica distintas.
Germination of cotton seed in relation to temperature
Authors: Krzyzanowski Francisco Carlos , Delouche James Curtis
Published: February 2017

The effect of constant temperature on the germination rate and percentage of two cotton seed lots was determined using a thermogradient plate. A gradient of 10 ºC to 40 ºC was established across the plate so that temperatures changed 2 ºC for each 5 cm increment in length, resulting in sixteen different temperature treatments. The optimal temperature zone for germination was 28 ºC to 30 ºC. As temperature decreased from the optimal zone, the rate of germination also decreased but germination percentages during the 10-day period were significantly lower only below 20 ºC. As temperature increased above the optimal zone, the rate of germination decreased and the percentage of germination sharply decreased above 32 ºC - 34 ºC. As expected, high quality cotton seed performed better than medium quality seed for a low temperature range (16 ºC to 22 ºC), but the most intriguing results were observed for the high temperatures range (36 ºC to38 ºC). The germination of medium quality cotton seed was consistently higher than for high quality seed, especially at 38 ºC after the second day of evaluation. This response has not been reported in the literature and further research is needed to better understand the germination physiology of cotton seed at high temperatures.
118 anos de dados mensais do Índice Padronizado de Precipitação: série meteorológica de Campinas, estado de São Paulo

O Índice Padronizado de Precipitação (SPI) é utilizado em programas estaduais e nacionais no monitoramento das condições de seca de diversas regiões brasileiras. Com base na hipótese de que a análise de longas séries temporais do SPI pode auxiliar a adoção de políticas de mitigação e combate a essa anomalia climática, o objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar a variabilidade do SPI mensal, na localidade de Campinas-SP, entre os anos de 1890 a 2007. Por meio de análises espectrais e testes não paramétricos verificou-se uma variabilidade na escala de três a quatro anos. Contudo, não foi possível observar marcante influência do fenômeno El Niño/Oscilação Sul nas condições mensais de variabilidade climática na localidade de Campinas. Com respeito à tendência de longo prazo, enquanto uma tendência de intensificação nas condições de déficit de precipitação pluvial foi detectada em agosto, nos demais meses não houve alterações significativas. Sob o ponto de vista acadêmico o tratamento probabilístico e padronizado dos déficits/excesso de precipitação pluvial empregado no cálculo do SPI, o torna um interessante índice alternativo na investigação de forçantes climáticas condicionantes/moduladoras do clima de determinada região.
Movimentos sociais na contemporaneidade
Authors: Gohn Maria da Glória
Published: February 2017

O trabalho objetiva apresentar um panorama geral dos movimentos sociais da atualidade, com destaque para a América Latina, e apresentar um mapeamento de suas principais formas no Brasil. Nesse sentido, reflete sobre o caráter educativo de suas ações, tanto para seus participantes como para a sociedade em geral e para os órgãos públicos. A premissa básica é de que os movimentos sociais são fontes de inovação e matrizes geradoras de saber. Entretanto, como não se trata de um processo isolado, mas de caráter político-social, o trabalho analisa as articulações na rede de relações que os movimentos estabelecem na conjuntura política, econômica e sociocultural do país, para compreender os fatores que geram as aprendizagens e os valores da cultura política que vão sendo construídos. Destacam-se os movimentos que ocorrem nas áreas da educação formal e da educação não formal.
