LEITURAS EDIFICANTES PARA RELIGIOSAS NA DÉCADA DE 1990
Authors: Guariza Nadia , Cardoso Samuel
Published: October 2018

A proposta deste artigo é discutir com as leituras religiosas, especificamente as biografias, agiram como estratégia de recrutamento de religiosas para a Igreja Católica, bem como, uma forma pedagógica para a formação das noviças e de religiosas nos conventos. O livro analisado é “O mistério das Clausuras” de Afonso de Santa Cruz (1995), nesta obra o autor seleciona cartas que havia solicitado às religiosas de todo o Brasil, pedindo que ressaltassem o motivo de sua entrada na vida religiosa. Compreendemos as cartas das religiosas como a escrita de si, ou seja, ao escrever sobre si as religiosas pretendia divulgar uma imagem de si própria e da vida religiosa. Além disso, analisamos os relatos a partir da perspectiva de gênero, isto é, compreendemos que a representação em torno da vida religiosa feminina está ancorada nos papéis que estas mulheres podem assumir na instituição, em contraposição aos papéis que os homens assumem. Para tanto, empregamos como referencial teórico os seguintes autores: Bourdieu, Scott, Certeau, Durkheim, Eliade.
FORMAS ELEMENTARES DA VIDA ALIENÍGENA: SAGRADO & PROFANO EM DUNA (1965) DE FRANK HERBERT
Authors: Busch Willian Perpétuo
Published: October 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é construir uma análise sociológica da obra de Duna (1965) de Frank Herbert. Tratado como um dos principais textos da Ficção Científica, Duna produz uma narrativa que faz uso de elementos religiosos. Estes, uma vez postos sobre o escrutínio das teses sociológicas de Émile Durkheim, Marcel Mauss, Henri Hubert e Max Weber, revelaram seus mecanismos de funcionamento. A partir de Durkheim, percebemos como a religião no texto foi construída a partir da oposição entre sagrado e profano e é na oscilação de um para o outro que os personagens operam. Visando compreender isso, as proposições de Mauss e Hubert nos forneceram um arsenal para compreender como um objeto pode oscilar entre os dois campos (sagrado e profano). Em específico, percebemos como Paul Atreides vai sendo dotado de sacralidade na medida que consolida sua posição dentro de dois conjuntos de pensamento distintos. Por fim, com as reflexões de Weber compreendemos que essa sacralidade adquirida por Paul foi possível a partir de um regime ascético que viabiliza sua ascensão como um messias.
Introduction: Visualizing Protest: Transnational Approaches to the Aesthetics of Dissent
Authors: Pryzbylo Ela , Novoselova Veronika , Rodrigues Saraç
Published: October 2018

In this issue of Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology, we invited contributors to engage with how protest is visualized, that is, rendered visual in the form of iconography and through social media, and imagined as a utopian project of feminist, queer, and anti-racist worldmaking. Inviting scholarship and creative engagements from the overlapping perspectives of feminist media studies, transnational feminist theory, critical race studies, visual studies, and postcolonial digital humanities, this special issue examines the aesthetics of feminist protests in terms of their networked circulations as well as their affective bonds and material contexts. Exploring the emerging modes of visibility, networked solidarity, and collaborative knowledge production, “Visualizing Protest: Transnational Approaches to the Aesthetics of Dissent” examines the relationships between the aesthetics of feminist transnational protest and digital revolt in a dynamic, polymedia context characterized by amateur remixing, instantaneous sharing, immaterial labour, corporate ownership of digital platforms, and institutionalized state surveillance of social media.
Combining innovative mulches and soil conditioners in mountain afforestation with ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) in the Pyrenees (NE Spain)
Authors: Coello Jaime , Piqué Míriam , Rovira Pere , Fuentes Carla , Ameztegui Aitor
Published: October 2018

Aim of study: To assess the effectiveness for improving early seedling performance of the individual and combined application of (i) various doses of an innovative soil conditioner including polyacrylamide-free super-absorbent polymers, fertilizers, root precursors and humic acids; and (ii) innovative mulches based on renewable-biodegradable or recycled raw materials. The assessment was carried out in comparison with reference (commercial) soil conditioners and mulches.Area of study: Upper montane afforestation site located at 1,430 m altitude in the southern Pyrenees (NE Spain).Material and methods: We studied the effect of 15 treatments (various combinations of soil conditioners and mulches) on mountain ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), testing survival, diameter and height growth and water and nutrient status during two growing seasons (2014-2015). We also assessed mulch durability during 2014-2016.Main results: The innovative soil conditioner improved diameter and height seedling growth (92% and 72% respectively) and water and nutrient status. The 40 g/seedling dosage was more cost-effective than the 20 and 80 g/seedling doses. The new formulation performed better in general than the commercial formulation. Mulches led to slight gains compared to control seedlings, and there were no major differences between the mulch models. The combined application of soil conditioners and mulches was not of particular interest.Research highlights: Soil conditioners consisting of synergic mixtures of water super-absorbent polymers, fertilizers, root growth precursors and humic acids can improve early seedling performance in coarse-textured, stony soils in montane conditions. Small mulches may be only of limited interest as long as weed competitiveness is poor.Keywords: ecotechnology; groundcovers; reforestation; seedling performance; restoration; water super-absorbent polymer; weed.Abbreviations used: GSn, growing season number ‘n’; leaf water potential, LWP; water super-absorbent polymers, SAP; soil conditioner with water super-absorbent polymers, SCwSAP; Soil Plant Analysis Development, SPAD.

Authors: VATANSEVER Sezgin , PAKÖZ Zehra Betül
Published: October 2018

Objectives: Cirrhosis is seen in 4-8% of patients with nonalcoholicfatty liver disease (NAFLD), and death occurs in 1-5%of them due to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of thisstudy was to determine the factors associated with complicationsand mortality in patients with cirrhosis secondary to non-alcoholicsteatohepatitis (NASH).Materials and Methods: The patients with cirrhosis due toNASH diagnosed between 2008 and 2018 in our clinic formedthe study population. Patients with diabetes, obesity, or insulinresistance and those with cirrhosis due to other causes wereexcluded. The patients were enrolled and followed up prospectively.Results: A total of 185 patients were included in the study.The survival was 94.6% at the 1st year and 57.0% at the 5th year.Median survival duration was 5.83 years. The rate of HCCdevelopment was 0.7% at the 1st year and 9.7% at the 5th year. Inthe multivariate Cox analysis, age (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.04-1.21;P = 0.003), creatinine (OR: 24.4, 95% CI: 2.32-257.8; P= 0.008)and encephalopathy (OR: 24.49, 95% CI: 1.06-19.6; p = 0.042)were found as independent predictors of mortality. Developmentof ascites occurred in 46.9%, variceal bleeding in 21.9% andencephalopathy in 18% of patients at the 5th year.Conclusion: Patients with NASH-related cirrhosis shouldbe carefully monitored for HCC development, variceal bleeding,ascites, and encephalopathy.
An Assessment of Credit Risk Management Practices of Adansi Rural Bank Limited
Authors: Odonkor Alexander Ayertey
Published: October 2018

Rural banks in Ghana are not exempted from the risk exposures associated with managing credit. Given their importance to the economy, appropriate measures should be taken to mitigate credit risk exposures of rural banks in the country. The study critically examines the credit risk management practices of rural banks in Ghana making reference to Adansi Rural Bank Limited. The study was carried out to examine the credit management practices, credit policies and strategies for managing credit as well as challenges faced in this practice and to recommend solutions that will mitigate the credit risk exposures of Adansi Rural Bank Limited. The researcher used a purposive sampling technique to select a sample size of forty respondents which comprised of branch managers and credit officers from four different branches of the rural bank. The researcher used a well structured questionnaire and a face to face interview to collect primary data for this study. The researcher employed both primary and secondary data in the study. Descriptive statistical tools were used in analysing the data collected. The researcher discovered that Adansi Rural Bank Limited had implemented a rigorous credit risk management policy. This included; loan appraisal, use of collateral and checking the credit history of borrowers. The results of the study revealed that, rural banks that have implemented rigorous credit risk management policies were exposed to few challenges in managing credit risk as compared to rural banks with poorly implemented credit risk management policies. This affirms the point that a comprehensive credit risk management system should be adopted and implemented well by rural banks in Ghana.

Published: October 2018

Este estudo contempla um dos segmentos da economia brasileira mais afetados pela carência no campo da gestão: o das Micro e Pequenas Empresas (MPE). Dentre as principais razões dessa dificuldade aparece com certeza a composição enxuta dessas empresas, fator que as impulsiona a focar suas energias e recursos em atividades-fim, restando pouca disponibilidade destes recursos para a sua própria gestão. Este artigo tem por objetivo aplicar e analisar uma metodologia que tem como finalidade mapear as competências organizacionais, funcionais e individuais em uma pequena empresa do setor de software, a partir de seus referenciais estratégicos, por meio de um estudo de caso exploratório do tipo descritivo-analítico, no qual se analisa uma metodologia de intervenção empresarial baseada na articulação sistemática entre atividades-fim (objetivos estratégicos) e atividades-meio (competências necessárias à organização, às áreas-funções e aos profissionais da organização). Em outras palavras, este estudo apresenta e analisa uma metodologia de intervenção orientada para a construção e o mapeamento da relação sistemática entre os objetivos estratégicos e as dimensões organizacional, funcional e individual da noção de competências, no contexto de uma pequena empresa com atuação no setor de software. A coleta de dados foi feita em quatro momentos pontuais: entrevista com o sócio-diretor, análise dos documentos comerciais, entrevista com a totalidade dos gestores e entrevista com clientes da empresa. No momento da análise dos dados foram identificadas as características das Competências Organizacionais associadas à estratégia e mapeadas as Competências Funcionais e Individuais da empresa. Os resultados apresentam contribuições para a atuação de empresas deste segmento e atividade pela evidenciação de fatores que influenciam este mercado e podem modificar os processos estratégicos dessas empresas; contribuições teórico-conceituais na medida em que integra em um mesmo método de intervenção, diversos conceitos associados a diferentes campos do conhecimento, e contribuições no campo das práticas e metodologias de intervenção organizacional, ao apresentarem e analisarem o mapeamento de competências em uma abordagem distinta das atualmente encontradas na literatura e pouco frequente no debate acadêmico-organizacional, uma vez que compreende os níveis organizacional, funcional e individual das competências.
Custo de Conformidade á Tributação e o Gerenciamento do Risco em Projetos: O Estudo de Caso de uma Pequena Empresa
Authors: Cianfanelli Mario Manzini , Pessôa Leonel Cesarino , Muritiba Patrícia Morilha
Published: October 2018

O presente estudo aborda a ocorrência da guerra fiscal envolvendo o Imposto Sobre Serviços – ISS, o custo de conformidade à tributação e a interação com a gestão do risco em projetos. Será analisado o caso de um prestador de serviços para a Companhia de Saneamento do Estado de São Paulo - SABESP, contratado por meio de complexo processo público de licitação, regido pela Lei 8.666/93, para prestação de serviço de engenharia em vários municípios da região metropolitana de São Paulo. Como, nesse tipo de contratação, o preço final ofertado e vencedor do certame não pode ser alterado, o impacto da bitributação e dos custos de conformidade em que a empresa incorreu em um desses municípios afetaram sua lucratividade e, se o mesmo problema tivesse ocorrido com a legislação dos demais municípios, poderia ter inviabilizada a prestação do serviço. Trata-se de demonstrar como o impacto sobre o custo relacionado ao imposto sobre serviço cobrado, ao tempo perdido e ao custo psicológico de lidar com a situação teria sido evitado, se uma metodologia de gestão de projetos que considerasse a gestão do risco tivesse sido utilizada. E de discutir as ferramentas da gestão de projetos para equacionar tal situação.
Metafísica imanente: Schopenhauer como ponto de inflexão
Authors: De Barros Roberto De A. P.
Published: October 2018

Este artigo visa considerar aspectos que demonstrem como a filosofia de Schopenhauer, formulada na confluência de duas tendências decisivas para toda a reflexão contemporânea, a ascensão das ciências naturais e a crise da filosofia idealista, apresenta aspectos que são decisivos para domínios teóricos da filosofia. Crítico do reducionismo da perspectiva naturalista, mas também do caráter abstrato da filosofia racionalista, sua consideração destas perspectivas resulta em uma filosofia metafísica com necessária base imanente que exerce grande impacto nos pressupostos do pensamento filosófico moderno.

O irracionalismo na teoria do conhecimento de Schopenhauer e na epistemologia de Paul Feyerabend
Authors: Silva Antunes Ferreira da , Lima Thalyta De Paula Pereira
Published: October 2018

Este artigo pretende analisar a origem do irracionalismo presente na teoria do conhecimento de Schopenhauer e a epistemologia de Paul Feyerabend. Por um lado, Schopenhauer, atacando diretamente a filosofia hegeliana, defende que, por ser uma atividade secunda ria, não é possível a racionalidade humana conceber, entender ou explicar o real, por ser constituí do de algo que, ao menos abstratamente sob a forma de conceitos, não pode ser abstraído, mas tão somente intuído. Ele defende uma espécie de conhecimento espontâneo e, com isto, demonstra o quanto inócua é a tentativa racional de estabelecer caminhos ou métodos que o possibilitem. Por outro lado, Feyerabend postula que as grandes descobertas científicas, por surgirem na história e levando em consideração o contexto cultural de cada povo, na o foram provocadas, em sua maioria, pela observância de me todos rigorosos e definidos aprioristicamente, mas especialmente descobertos para dado campo de estudo. Sendo assim, não seria possível estabelecer me todos universais e absolutos que possam conduzir a racionalidade humana ao conhecimento do real. E quando tal acontece, estes nada mais seriam do que imposição es que objetivam muito mais a manutenção das relações de poder do que a verdadeira busca do real. Ora, embora surgidas em meios e contextos diferentes, ambos chegam a conclusa o de que a razão e secundaria e que, portanto, não se pode confiar nela para o progresso do conhecimento.
As fontes da teoria da sublimação de Freud na filosofia de Schopenhauer
Authors: Bittencourt Renato Nunes
Published: October 2018

De acordo com a visão de mundo de Schopenhauer, o ser humano se caracteriza por ser dominado por uma carência essencial, motivada pela eterna insatisfação dos seus desejos e inclinações. Essa situação motiva na personalidade humana o desgosto pela existência, o desenvolvimento de sentimentos terríveis e violentos, brevemente apaziguados quando o homem consegue suprir essa carência existencial, os quais, após uma feliz paz de espírito, afloram novamente na vida humana com máxima intensidade. Schopenhauer elabora a referida teoria da contemplação estética, considerando que o indivíduo que se dedica à criação artística e mesmo ao ato de filosofar, torna-se efetivamente capaz de apaziguar por momentos preciosos o abrasamento de sua infelicidade. Tal perspectiva influencia Freud quando este desenvolve a teoria da sublimação, sendo que esta se caracteriza por superar em alguns passos a perspectiva de Schopenhauer, pelo fato de que Freud considera que não apenas na criação artística e na Filosofia, mas em qualquer outra atividade, de caráter intelectual ou até mesmo de labor, o ser humano canalizaria os seus voluptuosos impulsos sexuais (que na teoria de Schopenhauer seria mais uma das expressões do desejo imposto pela vontade humana) através da realização de empreendimentos, de ações que, transformando essa energia vital dispersa através do ato sexual, em um impulso produtivo concreto.
Um caráter abissal - a metafísica schopenhaueriana da Vontade como caracterologia
Authors: Debona Vilmar
Published: October 2018

No presente artigo investigo a noção de caráter na obra de Schopenhauer com a intenção de indicar em que medida a ideia de uma caracterologia é um componente basilar da metafísica schopenhaueriana. Para tanto, não me detenho na recepção das noções kantiana e schellinguiana de caráter, na esfera da ética e nem na noção de caráter adquirido, mas me restrinjo a uma análise dos conceitos de caráter inteligível e de caráter empírico especificamente no contexto das primeiras elaborações da chamada Metafísica da Vontade - nos Manuscritos juvenis do pensador (em especial, nos póstumos de 1812-1814) -, assim como no contexto do emprego dessa dual concepção de caráter em algumas passagens de obras publicadas. Ao final, indico quais seriam os principais conteúdos materiais da caracterologia e atento para as distinções fundamentais entre caráter individual e caráter da espécie.
A formulação das doutrinas do Estado e do Direito elaboradas pelo jovem Schopenhauer: extensão, limites e mudanças em relação à publicação de sua obra magna
Authors: Durante Felipe Dos Santos
Published: October 2018

Este trabalho tem por objetivo, a partir da leitura e análise dos manuscritos de juventude (Der handschriftliche Nachlass - Frühe Manuskripte) datados de 1804-1818, reunir os fragmentos que serviram como base constituinte das doutrinas do direito e do Estado formuladas pelo filósofo da vontade, Arthur Schopenhauer, com vistas a avaliar a extensão, os limites, e as mudanças das enunciações do jovem autor efetuadas na edição de 1844 de sua obra magna, O mundo como vontade e como representação. Este esforço compreende três etapas: (i) exegese dos manuscritos de juventude, a fim de selecionar os fragmentos relacionados à temática, (ii) exegese do livro IV de MVR, principalmente do § 62 e do capítulo 47 do segundo tomo da obra, nos quais as referidas doutrinas são formuladas; (iii) avaliar a inserção, a extensão e o impacto dos escritos do jovem Schopenhauer na edição de 1844 de MVR.

Published: October 2018

OBJETIVO: analizar cómo se produce la integración entre la enseñanza y el trabajo en la formación del enfermero, sus avances y retos. MÉTODOS: estudio cualitativo que, a través de la hermenéutica-dialéctica, analizó los proyectos pedagógicos de seis cursos de enfermería del estado de San Pablo y las encuestas a 21 profesores. RESULTADOS Y DISCUSIÓN: se observa la diversificación de escenarios e inserción de los alumnos en la práctica profesional en los cursos iniciales. La integración enseñanza/trabajo marcha entre avances y retos, teniendo en cuenta que este movimiento deben mantenerse, independientemente de los arreglos políticos, por acuerdos institucionales y la garantía de espacios de construcción conjunta. La inserción de los estudiantes en los escenarios promueve distintos impactos en la transformación de la práctica esperada. A pesar de que la integración está más consolidada en la atención primaria, las instituciones buscan fortalecerse con los hospitales. CONSIDERACIONES FINALES: el proceso de integración enseñanza - trabajo está rodeado de complejidades y subjetividades que necesitan ser discutidas para lograr superar el desajuste entre las intenciones académicas y las de cuidados.

Published: October 2018

Ante la necesidad de cambiar el modelo tradicional de enseñanza y aprendizaje, un grupo de docentes de las asignaturas Atención a la Salud de la Mujer y del Niño del curso de Enfermería de una universidad pública decidió incorporar metodologías activas de enseñanza. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender la vivencia del estudiante tras los cambios en el método de enseñanza y el proceso de puesta en práctica de las nuevas estrategias. La recogida de datos fue realizada en junio de 2016 con el grupo de estudiantes que cursó la asignatura, mediante un cuestionario de evaluación con cuestiones cerradas y una cuestión disertativa para que los estudiantes elaborasen una narrativa. Se realizó el análisis estadístico descriptivo y de contenido de los datos. Los principales resultados mostraron que la asignatura fue considerada como óptima y buena por la mayoría; los aspectos más citados fueron "profesores", "campos de práctica" y "clases de laboratorio". En la práctica clínica realzaron como positivos "autonomía", "discusión de casos" y "consulta de enfermería"; entre los negativos fueron señalados "relación con el enfermero del servicio" y "recepción del equipo". En el análisis de contenido de las narrativas surgieron los siguientes temas: "viviendo la metodología activa", "observado la asociación entre la teoría y la práctica" y "yendo más allá de la técnica". Los estudiantes subrayaron experiencias más allá del aprendizaje técnico, como adquisición de valores morales, crecimiento como ser humano, importancia para la ciudadanía, respeto y sensibilidad en las relaciones humanas, incorporando conceptos como integralidad, horizontalidad y autonomía

CONCLUSIÓN: la asociación entre la violencia intrafamiliar y el bullying indica la necesidad de estrategias de prevención, especialmente de articulación entre los campos de salud y educación.
Strength, solidarity, strategy and sustainability: A counseling psychologist’s guide to social action
Authors: Toporek Rebecca L.
Published: October 2018

The roles of counseling psychologists vary by setting, population, and circumstances. Yet, social justice can be a unifying force beyond the boundaries of daily responsibilities. No matter how insightful or profound counseling psychology theories or practice are, if they are focused on individual change alone, they will never sufficiently address injustice. Injustice and the inadequacy of traditional, individually focused paradigms present tensions between counseling psychologists’ work to help individuals cope with life’s challenges and inadvertent (or intentional) support of systems that perpetuate oppression. This paper explores this dichotomy, avenues for moving to action, and personal sustainability in the face of professional fatigue. Experiences as a counselor and counseling psychologist, as well as research, shape the way I see advocacy and activism and have given rise to strategies I have found helpful. A resulting framework for developing a “personal social action plan” is represented by four pillars: Strength, Solidarity, Strategy and Sustainability (S-Quad). National and local challenges across the globe reflect enormous differences in contexts, needs, politics, and resources. Yet, sharing strategies for social action, activism, and advocacy can provide seeds for optimism and action toward justice and positive change.

Published: October 2018

The present study aimed to assess the relationship between shoulder pain and weight of shoulder bags in young women. Cross-sectional study conducted with 316 women aged 18-35 years from February 2013 to July 2014. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and information on physical activity, sleeping habits, presence of pain and its characteristics, use of bags, and percentage of bag weight–body weight ratio (%bagweight). Pearson’s chi-squared test and Mann-Whitney test were used to check for associations between the dependent variable (presence of pain) and the independent variables, with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). In all, 195 (61.7%) women complained of shoulder pain. These women carried heavier shoulder bags (p=0.01), weighing circa 4.02% of their body weight (p=0.050), and the pain was proportional to a higher bag weight (p=0.023) compared to the painless group. Lack of physical activity and inadequate sleep position influenced the occurrence of shoulder pain (p=0.008 and p=0.017, respectively). The weight of the shoulder bag represented a risk factor for the onset of shoulder pain and women should not carry bags weighing more than 4% of their body weight.

Published: October 2018

It was our objective to compare the physical activity, fatigue and quality of life of patients during breast cancer treatment and to investigate the association between these variables. Participated in this study 122 women in clinical treatment at the Cancer Research Center (CEPON) in Florianópolis, SC. We used a questionnaire with general information, physical activity (IPAQ - short), fatigue (Piper fatigue) and quality of life (EORTC QLQ - C30). One-way ANOVA with Scheffe's post-hoc, Chi-square, and univariate and multiple linear regression (p <0.05) were used. It was observed a greater walking time and total physical activity for the patients in the hormone therapy. In the fatigue, worse scores were presented by the patients in the chemotherapy. In the quality of life, there was a difference in the symptomatic scale, with worse scores on the subscales of nausea and vomiting, pain and loss of appetite for patients on chemotherapy and constipation for radiotherapy. It was identified an association between the increase of the physical activity with the improvement of the physical, social function and symptoms of the fatigue, regardless of the type of treatment or age. Patients in the hormone therapy practiced more physical activity, and those in chemotherapy had worse side effects. It is necessary to encourage physical activity during treatment, since benefits in quality of life and fatigue are evidenced.

The aim of this study was to investigate the short and long-term effects of the bandwidth KR in learning of the absolute and relative dimensions of a motor skill. Twenty-two undergraduate students divided into two groups: G15 who received KR when the relative error exceeded 15%; and G0, with KR after every trial. The study consisted of an acquisition phase, and the volunteers practiced 100 trials with a target time of 850 ms and relative of 22.2%, 44.4% and 33.3% between the first and second, second and third, third and fourth keys, respectively. This phase, KR related to relative time (relative error) was provided according to the group. KR of total target time was available to both groups after all trials. Three retention tests with ten trials were conducted 10 minutes, 24 hours and one week after the acquisition phase. The results showed that G15 had a smaller relative error than G0. This study allows concluding that bandwidth KR in relation relative time error showed its effects in the consistency of relative time. These effects persisted even after seven days after the acquisition phase in a delayed retention test.

Divergent patterns of ocular development and gene expression in the evolution of a subterranean salamander
Authors: Tovar Ruben U. , Cantu Valentin , Fremaux Brian P. , Gonzalez Pedro , García Dana M.
Published: October 2018

Relatively few studies have focused on the evolution and development of divergent nervous systems. The salamander clade (Eurycea) from the karst regions of central Texas provide an ideal platform for comparing divergent nervous and sensory systems, since some species exhibit extreme phenotypes thought to be associated with inhabiting a subterranean environment, including highly reduced eyes. We describe ocular development and examine early ocular protein expression (Pax6 and Shh), comparing between two salamander species representing two phenotypes: the surface dwelling Barton Springs salamander (E. sosorum) and the obligate subterranean Texas blind salamander (E. rathbuni). Between the two species, similarities during the development of ocular tissue (e.g. optic cup and lens vesicle) were observed during embryogenesis. However, during late stage embryogenesis the two species display markedly different patterns of Pax6 localization, which parallel patterns previously reported in a cavefish. A lens vesicle was observed in E. rathbuniembryos at stage 40, yet the lens is absent in adults, suggesting the regression of the lens during ontogeny. We also include adult histology of the surface dwelling San Marcos salamander (E. nana) and note similarities to E. sosorum. Adult E. rathbunilack major histological features associated with vision; however, eye morphology did not differ significantly between E. rathbuniand E. sosorumin early developmental stages, suggesting a combination of underdevelopment and degeneration contribute to the reduced eyes of adult E. rathbuni.

Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Tod. – Ostrich fern (Onocleaceae) is the circumboreal species widely distributed in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. In the paper, we presented the results of the observations on the developing population of M. struthiopteris on the man-made lawn situated in the University Grove of Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation). In the original making of the lawn, the ground was replaced by new rich soil, which was taken in early summer of 2007 from a native site situated 6.65 km towards south-west from Tomsk University. The formation of the plant community on the new lawn occurred mostly naturally, and sporophytes of this fern appeared naturally. The first sporophytes on the new lawn were detected in 2009, occurring initially in the significant numbers, recorded here. During the time of observation (2009–2018) the number of sporophytes decreased from an original 263 to 96, i.e. 63.5% of sporophytes died. The initial population in 2009 included only juvenile sporophytes. No spore-bearing sporophytes appear during the period of observation. For detection of the source of spores, from which the population on the lawn was formed, we selected three populations having fertile sporophytes, and conducted a molecular-genetic analysis. Two of the analyzed source populations were found to be situated at 160–365 m distance from the developing population and one population occurs near the place where the soil for new lawn making was taken. We used the ISSR method for analyzing the genetic diversity of populations and processed the results by software STRUCTURE Version 2.3.4. The result show, that new population, and population from the soil taking point belong to the same group. The coefficient of Nei’s genetic identity between these populations is high (I = 0.931). This confirms the origin of the new population from spores contained in the soil used for the lawn construction.
The running kinematics of free-roaming giraffes, measured using a low cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)

The study of animal locomotion can be logistically challenging, especially in the case of large or unhandleable animals in uncontrolled environments. Recent technological advances have permitted the use of Global Positioning System and inertial sensors in locomotion studies, but these methods require manual access to each study subject. Here we demonstrate the utility of a low cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in measuring two-dimensional running kinematics from free-roaming giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa) in the Free State Province, South Africa. We collected 120 Hz video of running giraffes, and calibrated each video frame using metatarsal length as a constant object of scale. We tested a number of methods to measure metatarsal length. The method with the least variation used close range photography and a trigonometric equation to spatially calibrate the still image, and derive metatarsal length. In the absence of this option, a spatially calibrated surface model of the study terrain was used to estimate topographical dimensions in video footage of interest. Data for the terrain models were collected using the same equipment, during the same study period. We subsequently validated the accuracy of the UAV method by comparing similar speed measurements of a running human subject, with a gold standard method. We recommend that future users maximise the camera focal distance, and keep the subject in the central field of view.

The studied giraffes used a grounded rotary gallop with a speed range of 3.4 to 6.9 ms-1 (never cantering, trotting or pacing), and lower duty factors when compared with other cursorial quadrupeds. As this pattern might result in adverse increases in peak vertical limb forces with speed, it was notable to find that contralateral limbs became more in-phase with speed. Considering the latter pattern and the modest maximal speed of giraffes, we speculate that tissue safety factors are maintained within tolerable bounds this way. Furthermore, the angular kinematics of the neck were frequently isolated from the pitching of the body during running; this may be a result of the large mass of the head and neck. Further field experiments and biomechanical models are needed to robustly test these speculations.

The colon hosts gut microbes and glucagon-like peptide 1 secreting cells, both of which influence glucose homeostasis. We tested whether colectomy is associated with development of type 2 diabetes. Using nationwide register data, we identified patients who had undergone total colectomy, partial colectomy, or proctectomy. For each colectomy patient, we selected 15 non-colectomy patients who had undergone other surgeries. Compared with non-colectomy patients, patients with total colectomy (n = 3,793) had a hazard ratio (HR) of clinically recorded type 2 diabetes of 1.40 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21 to 1.62; p<0.001). Corresponding HRs after right hemicolectomy (n = 10,989), left hemicolectomy (n = 2,513), and sigmoidectomy (n = 13,927) were 1.08 (95% CI, 0.99 to 1.19; p=0.10), 1.41 (95% CI, 1.19 to 1.67; p<0.001) and 1.30 (95% CI, 1.21 to 1.40; p<0.001), respectively. Although we were not able to adjust for several potential confounders, our findings suggest that the left colon may contribute to maintenance of glucose homeostasis.
The Rights Provisions of a Book Publishing Contract
Authors: Herr Melody
Published: October 2018

When signing a publishing contract, an author makes decisions which directly affect the book's availability. In order to decide judiciously which rights to retain and which to transfer to a publisher, she needs an understanding of U.S. copyright law and the author-publisher partnership. In this article, Melody Herr, PhD, a scholarly communications professional who has over 16 years of experience in academic publishing and who has authored six books herself, explains the rights provisions of a book contract. First, she discusses copyright ownership and describes the ways in which copyright's components apply to scholarly books. After enumerating the benefits and drawbacks of allocating specific rights to a publisher, she highlights contract wording to watch for and suggests the rights an author may wish to retain by negotiating an addendum. She then explains how an author may reclaim rights granted to a publisher through reversion or termination of transfer. In the conclusion, she recommends that outreach programs target scholars at critical moments when they face decisions regarding publication of their work.
The gut microbiome participates in transgenerational inheritance of low‐temperature responses in Drosophila melanogaster

Published: October 2018

Environmental perturbations induce transcriptional changes, some of which may be inherited even in the absence of the initial stimulus. Previous studies have focused on transfers through the germline although microbiota is also passed on to the offspring. Thus, we inspected the involvement of the gut microbiome in transgenerational inheritance of environmental exposures in Drosophila melanogaster. We grew flies in the cold versus control temperatures and compared their transcriptional patterns in both conditions as well as in their offspring. F2 flies grew in control temperature, while we controlled their microbiota acquisition from either F1 sets. Transcriptional status of some genes was conserved transgenerationally, and a subset of these genes, mainly expressed in the gut, was transcriptionally dependent on the acquired microbiome.

Published: October 2018

The objective of this note is to introduce a clinical tool that generates ideal base plan dose distributions to enable re‐irradiation volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) optimization based on cumulative biological effective dose objectives for specific organs at risk (OARs). The tool is demonstrated with a lung cancer case that required re‐irradiation at our clinic. First, previous treatment dose is deformed onto the retreatment computed tomography (CT) using commercial software. Then, the in‐house Matlab tool alters the deformed previous dose using radiobiological concepts on a voxel‐by‐voxel manner to generate an ideal base plan dose distribution. Ideal base plans that were generated using the in‐house Matlab tool were compatible with the Varian Eclipse™ treatment planning system. The tool enabled optimization of VMAT re‐irradiation plans using cumulative dose limits for OARs and all OAR cumulative dose objectives were met on the first optimization for the recurrent lung cancer case tested.

Control over the oxygen octahedral framework is widely recognized as key to the design of functional properties in perovskite oxide heterostructures. Although the oxygen octahedral framework can be manipulated during synthesis, the as‐grown oxygen octahedra generally remain fixed, preventing the development of adaptive behavior in electronic and ionotronic systems. Here, it is demonstrated that the oxygen octahedral framework can be dynamically and reversibly manipulated by an electric field through the coupling with oxygen vacancies. Studying model WO3 heterostructures during ionic liquid gating with a combination of in situ X‐ray scattering and spectroscopy, it is shown that large changes in electronic properties can arise due to the increased flexibility of the octahedral network at high vacancy concentrations. The results describe a generic framework for the construction of dynamic systems and devices with an array of field‐tunable properties.
