Authors: Bayart Frédéric , Matomäki Kaisa , Saksman Eero , Seip Kristian
Published: December 2018

In recent years a number of challenging research problems have crystallized in the analytic theory of Dirichlet series and its interaction with function theory in polydiscs. Their solutions appear to require unconventional combinations of expertise from harmonic, functional, and complex analysis, and especially from analytic number theory. This MFO workshop provided an ideal arena for the exchange of ideas needed to nurture further progress and to solve important problems.

Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação em cursos de licenciatura em Física de uma universidade pública federal: “usos” estabelecidos por professores universitários no processo de formação inicial
Authors: De Andrade Roberta Silva , Coelho Geide Rosa
Published: December 2018

Neste artigo relatamos um estudo que tem como objetivo analisar os usos que professores de cursos de licenciatura em física de uma universidade pública federal fazem das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDICs) durante o processo de formação inicial. A pesquisa é de caráter exploratório, e a produção de dados pautada no uso de documentos e entrevista semiestruturada. Por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva, quatro categorias emergentes foram identificadas neste estudo: (i) O lugar das disciplinas de TDIC nos cursos de licenciatura em Física; (ii) Usos das técnicas; (iii) Usos da tecnologia na formação – relação com os processos de formação do professor formado; (iv) Que rede há nessa formação? Os resultados apontam que os usos das TDICs nos cursos investigados envolvem inventividades que se perfazem por meio de uma dinâmica baseada nas técnicas que necessariamente não se constituem como técnica pura, mas são entrelaçadas a aspectos teórico-metodológicos de ensino e aprendizagem, ao processo formativo desenhado para o desenvolvimento da disciplina, ao diálogo estabelecido entre os possíveis contextos educativos para o uso das tecnologias. Além disso, tencionamos a perspectiva de universalização da rede de interconexão, visto que o uso da internet (na dimensão da construção coletiva de conhecimentos) é limitado tanto na universidade quanto no contexto da educação básica.
High tropospheric ozone in Lhasa within the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone in 2013: influence of convective transport and stratospheric intrusions
Authors: Li Dan , Vogel Bärbel , Müller Rolf , Bian Jianchun , Günther Gebhard , Li Qian , Zhang Jinqiang , Bai Zhixuan , Vömel Holger , Riese Martin
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Balloon-borne measurements of ozone in Lhasa (29.66∘ N,
91.14∘ E; 3650 m above sea level) in August 2013 are investigated
using backward trajectory calculations performed with the Chemical Lagrangian
Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS). Measurements show three time periods
characterized by high ozone mixing ratios (OMRs) in the troposphere on 8, 11,
and 18–20 August 2013 during the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) season. Here, we
verified two different sources for the enhanced ozone values in the
troposphere. First, transport of polluted air from the boundary layer, and
second downward transport from the stratosphere by stratospheric intrusions.
Air pollution from South Asia through convective and long-range transport
plays a key role in enhancing middle tropospheric OMRs up to 90 % on
8 August and up to 125 % on 11 August 2013 compared to monthly mean ozone
of August 2013. Stratospheric air intruded from the northern high-latitudes
to the southeastern flank of the ASM anticyclone to the troposphere and is
identified as the source of enhanced ozone according to backward trajectory
calculation and satellite measurements by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument
(OMI) and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS). Air parcels with high
ozone moved from the high-latitude lower stratosphere to the middle and upper
troposphere. These air parcels are then transported to Lhasa over long
distances and enhanced upper and middle tropospheric ozone over Lhasa during
18–20 August 2013. Our findings demonstrate that the strong variability of
ozone within the ASM anticyclone in the free troposphere is caused by
transport from very different regions of the atmosphere.
A physics-based approach to oversample multi-satellite, multispecies observations to a common grid

Abstract. Satellite remote sensing of the Earth's atmospheric composition usually
samples irregularly in space and time, and many applications require
spatially and temporally averaging the satellite observations (level 2) to a
regular grid (level 3). When averaging level 2 data over a long period to a
target level 3 grid that is significantly finer than the sizes of level 2
pixels, this process is referred to as “oversampling”. An agile,
physics-based oversampling approach is developed to represent each satellite
observation as a sensitivity distribution on the ground, instead of a point
or a polygon as assumed in previous methods. This sensitivity distribution
can be determined by the spatial response function of each satellite sensor.
A generalized 2-D super Gaussian function is proposed to characterize the
spatial response functions of both imaging grating spectrometers (e.g., OMI,
OMPS, and TROPOMI) and scanning Fourier transform spectrometers (e.g., GOSAT,
IASI, and CrIS). Synthetic OMI and IASI observations were generated to
compare the errors due to simplifying satellite fields of view (FOVs) as
polygons (tessellation error) and the errors due to discretizing the smooth
spatial response function on a finite grid (discretization error). The
balance between these two error sources depends on the target grid size, the
ground size of the FOV, and the smoothness of spatial response functions.
Explicit consideration of the spatial response function is favorable for
fine-grid oversampling and smoother spatial response. For OMI, it is
beneficial to oversample using the spatial response functions for grids finer
than ∼16 km. The generalized 2-D super Gaussian function also enables
smoothing of the level 3 results by decreasing the shape-determining
exponents, which is useful for a high noise level or sparse satellite datasets. This
physical oversampling approach is especially advantageous during smaller
temporal windows and shows substantially improved visualization of trace gas
distribution and local gradients when applied to OMI NO2 products and IASI NH3 products. There is no appreciable difference in the computational time
when using the physical oversampling versus other oversampling methods.
First high resolution BrO column retrievals from TROPOMI
Authors: Seo Sora , Richter Andreas , Blechschmidt Anne-Marlene , Bougoudis Ilias , Burrows John Philip
Published: December 2018

Abstract. For more than two decades, satellite observations from instruments such as GOME, SCIAMACHY, GOME-2 and OMI have been used for the monitoring of bromine monoxide (BrO) distributions on global and regional scales. In October 2017, the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) was launched onboard the Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor platform with the goal of continuous daily global trace gas observations with unprecedented spatial resolution. In this study, sensitivity tests were performed to find an optimal wavelength range for TROPOMI BrO retrievals under various measurement conditions. From these sensitivity tests, a wavelength range for TROPOMI BrO retrievals was determined and global data for April 2018 as well as for several case studies were retrieved. Comparison with GOME-2 and OMI BrO retrievals shows good consistency and low scatter of the columns. The examples of individual TROPOMI overpasses show that due to the better signal to noise ratio and finer spatial resolution of 3.5 x 7 km2, TROPOMI BrO retrievals provide good data quality with low fitting errors and unique information on small scale variabilities in various BrO source regions such as Arctic sea ice, salt marshes, and volcanoes.
Reciprocal bias compensation and ensuing uncertainties in
model-based climate projections: pelagic biogeochemistry versus
ocean mixing
Authors: Löptien Ulrike , Dietze Heiner
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O impinge on the earth system which, in turn, modulates atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The underlying feedback mechanisms are complex and, at times, counterintuitive. So-called Earth System Models have recently matured to standard tools tailored to assess these feedback mechanisms in a warming world. Respective model applications range from being targeted at basic process understanding to the assessment of geo-engineering options. A problem endemic to all these applications is the need to estimate poorly known model parameters, specifically for the biogeochemical component, based on observational data (e.g. nutrient fields). In the present study, we illustrate that by such an approach biases in the physical ocean-circulation model component of an Earth System Model can reciprocally compensate biases in the pelagic biogeochemical model component (and vice versa). We present two configurations of an Earth System Model that share a remarkably similar steady state (based on ad-hoc measures) when driven by historical boundary conditions, even though they feature substantially different configurations (sets) of ocean-mixing and biogeochemical cycling (model parameters). When projected into the future the similarity between the model responses breaks. Metrics like total oceanic carbon content and suboxic volume diverge in the model configurations as the Earth warms. Our results reiterate that advancing the understanding of oceanic mixing processes will reduce the uncertainty of future projections of the oceanic biogeochemical cycles. Vice versa, we suggest that an advanced understanding of oceanic biogeochemical cycles can be used for advancements in the ocean circulation modules.
The climate of Granada (southern Spain) during the first third of the
18th century (1706–1730) according to documentary sources
Authors: Rodrigo Fernando S.
Published: December 2018

Abstract. The climatic information recorded by the physician Francisco Fernández Navarrete in Granada (southern Spain) during the first third of the 18th century is analysed in this work. Observations are included in the book Cielo y suelo granadino (Sky and soil in Granada), and consist of qualitative comments relating climatic conditions to illness and diseases since 1706, as well as instrumental observations (using an English barometer and a Florentine thermometer) from December 1728 to February 1730. To the best of our knowledge, these are the earliest instrumental observations recorded in Spain. The analysis shows that seasonal mean values of temperature and precipitation during the period 1706–1730 were very similar to those of periods of similar length at the beginning of the 20th century, as 1906–1930. However, some years were especially extreme, such as the dry first half of the 1720s decade, or the winter 1728–1729, when a strong cold wave affected the city.
Modelling study of transformations of the exchange flows along the Strait of Gibraltar
Authors: Sanchez-Roman Antonio , Jorda Gabriel , Sannino Gianmaria , Gomis Damia
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Vertical transfers of heat, salt and mass between the inflowing
and outflowing layers at the Strait of Gibraltar are explored basing on the outputs of a
three-dimensional fully nonlinear numerical model. The model covers the entire
Mediterranean basin and has a very high spatial resolution around the strait
(1/200∘). Another distinctive feature of the model is that it includes a
realistic barotropic tidal forcing (diurnal and semi-diurnal), in addition to atmospheric
pressure and heat and water surface fluxes. The results show a significant transformation
of the properties of the inflowing and outflowing water masses along their path through
the strait. This transformation is mainly induced by the recirculation of water, and
therefore of heat and salt, between the inflowing and outflowing layers. The underlying
process seems to be the hydraulic control acting at the Espartel section, Camarinal Sill
and Tarifa Narrows, which limits the amount of water that can cross the sections and
forces a vertical recirculation. This results in a complex spatio-temporal pattern of
vertical transfers, with the sign of the net vertical transfer being opposite in each
side of the Camarinal Sill. Conversely, the mixing seems to have little influence on the heat
and salt exchanged between layers (∼2 %–10 % of advected heat and salt).
Therefore, the main point of our work is that most of the transformation of water
properties along the strait is induced by the vertical advection of heat and salt and not
by vertical mixing. A simple relationship between the net flux and the vertical transfers
of water, heat and salt is also proposed. This relationship could be used for the fine-tuning of coarse-resolution model parameterizations in the strait.
Use of canopy coefficients obtained from satellite data to estimate evapotranspiration over high mountain Mediterranean watersheds
Authors: Carpintero Elisabet , González-Dugo María P. , Jódar Jorge , Martos-Rosillo Sergio
Published: December 2018

Abstract. This work explores the dynamics of the water consumed by the vegetation in two Mediterranean watersheds of Sierra Nevada Mountains (Southern Spain). This region has experienced an increase in the demand of water in the last years due to the growth of irrigated areas, and a new water resources plan is required. The evapotranspiration (ET) of irrigated horticultural crops and natural communities were monitored for the hydrological years 2013/14 and 2014/15, using an approach based on the concept of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and canopy coefficients derived from the computation of vegetation indices (VIs), which we will call the VI-ETo approach. A set of Landsat-8 and MODIS images has been used as remote input data. The results were used for the spatial analysis of water consumption in terms of the main land cover types in the area. The annual runoff obtained with a simple surface water balance, using the ET values estimated by the VI-ETo approach, was comparable to that obtained by the HBV (Hydrologiska Byrans Vattenbalansavdelning) model, a precipitation-runoff generation model that reproduces the observed river discharge at the outlet of the watershed.
Monitoring environmental supporting conditions of a raised bog using remote sensing techniques

Published: December 2018

Abstract. Conventional methods of monitoring wetlands and detecting changes over time can be time-consuming and costly. Inaccessibility and remoteness of many wetlands is also a limiting factor. Hence, there is a growing recognition of remote sensing techniques as a viable and cost-effective alternative to field-based ecosystem monitoring. Wetlands encompass a diverse array of habitats, for example, fens, bogs, marshes, and swamps. In this study, we concentrate on a natural wetland – Clara Bog, Co. Offaly, a raised bog situated in the Irish midlands. The aim of the study is to identify and monitor the environmental conditions of the bog using remote sensing techniques. Environmental conditions in this study refer to the vegetation composition of the bog and whether it is in an intact (peat-forming) or degraded state. It can be described using vegetation, the presence of water (soil moisture) and topography. Vegetation indices (VIs) derived from satellite data have been widely used to assess variations in properties of vegetation. This study uses mid-resolution data from Sentinel-2 MSI, Landsat 8 OLI for VI analysis. An initial study to delineate the boundary of the bog using the combination of edge detection and segmentation techniques namely, entropy filtering, canny edge detection, and graph-cut segmentation is performed. Once the bog boundary is defined, spectra of the delineated area are studied. VIs like NDVI, ARVI, SAVI, NDWI, derived using Sentinel-2 MSI and Landsat 8 OLI are analysed. A digital elevation model (DEM) was also used for better classification. All of these characteristics (features) serve as a basis for classifying the bog into broad vegetation communities (termed ecotopes) that indicate the quality of raised bog habitat. This analysis is validated using field derived ecotopes. The results show that, by using spectral information and vegetation index clustering, an additional linkage can be established between spectral RS signatures and wetland ecotopes. Hence, the benefit of the study is in understanding ecosystem (bog) environmental conditions and in defining appropriate metrics by which changes in the conditions can be monitored.
Submarine groundwater discharge site in the First Salpausselkä ice-marginal formation, south Finland

Published: December 2018

Abstract. Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) has been implicated as a significant source of nutrients and other potentially harmful substances to coastal sea. Although the number of reported SGD sites has increased recently, their stratigraphical architecture and aquifer geometry are rarely investigated in detail. This study analyses a multifaceted dataset of offshore seismic sub-bottom profiles, multibeam and sidescan sonar images of the seafloor, radon measurements of seawater and groundwater, and onshore ground-penetrating radar and refraction seismic profiles in order to reconstruct the detailed stratigraphical architecture of a high-latitude SGD site, which is connected to the Late-Pleistocene First Salpausselkä ice-marginal formation on the Hanko Peninsula in Finland. The studied location is characterized by a sandy beach, a sandy shore platform that extends 100–250  m seaward sloping gently to ca. 4 m water depth, and a steep slope to ca. 17 m water depth within ca. 50 m distance. The onshore radar and offshore seismic profiles are correlated based on unconformities, following the allostratigraphical approach. The aquifer is hosted in the distal sand-dominated part of an ice-contact subaqueous fan foreset. It is interpreted that gravel and coarse sand interbeds and lenses in the distal foreset, and, potentially, coarse couplet layers in the overlying glaciolacustrine rhythmite, provide conduits for localized groundwater flow. The SGD takes place predominantly through pockmarks on the seafloor, which are documented on the shore platform slope by multibeam and sidescan sonar images. Elevated radon-222 activity concentrations measured 1 m above seafloor confirm SGD from two pockmarks with fine sand surface sediment, whereas there was no discharge from a third pockmark that was covered with a thin organic-rich mud layer. The thorough understanding of the local stratigraphy and the geometry and composition of the aquifer that have been acquired in this study are crucial for successful hydrogeological modeling and flux studies at the SGD site.
Experimental validation of a ducted wind turbine design strategy
Authors: Kanya Benjamin , Visser Kenneth D.
Published: December 2018

Abstract. A synergistic design strategy for ducted horizontal axis wind
turbines (DWTs), utilizing the numerical solution of a ducted actuator disk
system as the input condition for a modified blade element momentum method,
is presented. Computational results of the ducted disk have shown that the
incoming flow field for a DWT differs substantially from that of a
conventional open rotor. The rotor plane velocity is increased in the ducted
flow field, and, more importantly, the axial velocity component varies
radially. An experimental full-scale 2.5 m rotor and duct were designed,
using this numerical strategy, and tested at the University of Waterloo's
wind turbine test facility. Experimental results indicated a very good
correlation of the data with the numerical predictions, namely a doubling of
the power output at a given velocity, suggesting that the numerical strategy can
provide a means for a scalable design methodology.

Authors: Huerta Ricard
Published: December 2018

Planteamos el uso del arte contemporáneo en la formación de docentes. Consideramos de gran interés acercar los actuales dispositivos del arte a las futuras generaciones de maestros y maestras, ya que en el mundo del arte se están tratando temáticas sociales y culturales que van a resultar decisivas en la labor que deberán llevar a cabo quienes eduquen. Desde una perspectiva regeneradora y vitalista, proponemos una posibilidad de estrategias en la formación artística del colectivo docente. Integramos temáticas que habitualmente no se tratan en el ámbito escolar, pero que están vinculadas a las emociones, a las necesidades y a la vida cotidiana del alumnado. Conceptos como «el miedo» o «el cuerpo» permiten indagar en las problemáticas más cercanas, sin dejar de revisar lo que las artes han planteado al respecto desde siempre, ya que se trata de elementos con presencia constante tanto en nuestras vidas como en la historia del arte. Abordamos los conceptos utilizando la obra de las artistas Carmen Calvo y Anna Ruiz Sospedra. La metodología utilizada es mixta, combinando la Investigación Educativa Basada en las Artes con la «Artography». Entre los resultados obtenidos destacamos la gran aceptación por parte del alumnado universitario de los procesos innovadores utilizados.
«Mirada Interior» La fotografía como herramienta de transformación social con mujeres del Centro Penitenciario de Algeciras
Authors: Conde de Vega Alicia
Published: December 2018

En este artículo se reflexiona sobre la fotografía como herramienta de transformación social. A través del trabajo realizado desde el año 2009 al 2015 en el Centro Penitenciario de Algeciras con mujeres reclusas en los talleres de fotografía bajo el título de “Mirada interior”, se ha comprobado que el proceso creativo a través de la imagen permite la creación de un espacio de libertad, de encuentro con ellas mismas y con el grupo. La fotografía se convierte en una gran herramienta para trabajar aspectos importantes para su desarrollo personal y social, reflexionar sobre su identidad, mejorar su autoconcepto y su autoestima, al permitir reconocerse, aceptarse, transformarse y encontrarse ante la cámara, favoreciendo la toma de decisiones, al poder decidir tanto individual como colectivamente qué es lo que quieren y cómo mostrarlo. Así se generan nuevos procesos de comunicación a través de la interacción que facilita el acto fotográfico permitiendo, de este modo, crear relaciones intra e interpersonales más positivas convirtiendo el tiempo de condena en un tiempo educativo y socialmente útil.

Aunque las mujeres del siglo XIX tenían una identidad secundaria como madres y esposas, la conciencia de luchar por la libertad ya había surgido con un incipiente movimiento feminista. Debido a que la prensa es un medio de comunicación importante de la época, el objetivo de este trabajo es investigar sobre la idea que se presentaba en ella sobre las mujeres, sobre todo, prestando atención a las ideas menos tradicionales y reivindicativas. Esta investigación consiste en averiguar los contenidos relacionados a mujeres que se publican en la prensa española de este siglo, con el fin de tener una idea sobre la situación de las mujeres en el mundo periodístico.
Possessors move through the edge, too
Authors: Jeoung Helen
Published: December 2018

This paper discusses possessor sub-extraction in Indonesian, Javanese and Madurese, and its implications for phase-based A-bar extraction of nominals. I show that possessors may extract from their possessive DPs and occur at the left edge of the clause. I argue that the suffix that occurs on the possessum (Indonesian -nya, Javanese -ne, Madurese -Nah) is the pronunciation of the functional head D rather than a pronominal possessor or resumptive pronoun. While the extraction of verbal arguments has been well studied in Indonesian languages, possessor sub-extraction provides a novel set of data that contributes to the discussion on the relationship between voice and nominal extraction. In these languages, voice morphology on the verb must reflect extraction of a low nominal, whether a verbal argument or a possessor. This pattern shows that the functional head Voice regulates A-bar extraction of all nominals that begin in the complement of the verb: the extracted nominal undergoes successive-cyclic movement through the edge of DP, then the edge of VoiceP, before landing in its surface position in CP. This movement is marked by morphological wh-agreement in the nominal and verbal domain. Possessor extraction thus has implications for theories of nominal extraction, phases and clause structure in Indonesian-type languages.

Published: December 2018

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o emprego das resinas bulk-fill empregadas para restauração de dentes tratados endodonticamente. Pretende-se compilar os principais resultados de trabalhos clínicos e laboratoriais que avaliem resinas bulk-fill para restauração direta de dentes tratados endodonticamente. Método: A busca dos estudos foi realizada no portal PubMed, utilizando os descritores “bulk fill” e “endodontically treated”. Os dados extraídos foram agrupados em uma tabela-síntese apresentando as características metodológicas e os principais resultados de cada estudo. Resultados: Sete estudos foram incluídos na revisão e, dentre eles, cinco avaliaram a resistência a fratura dos dentes após a restauração, um avaliou a adaptação da resina ao assoalho da câmara pulpar e um trata-se de um ensaio clínico com acompanhamento de três anos, comparando o uso de resina bulk-fill com resina convencional. Conclusão: O desempenho das resinas bulk-fill mostrou-se semelhante às resinas convencionais quando comparadas quanto a resistência a fratura dos dentes (in vitro), e a longevidade (in vivo). A economia de tempo clínico proporcionada pelas resinas bulk-fill pode justificar o seu emprego para a restauração de dentes tratados endonticamente.
Restaurações cerâmicas multicamadas e monolíticas: uma revisão de literatura

Published: December 2018

Objetivo: o objetivo do estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre os materiais, técnicas de confecção, vantagens, desvantagens e limitações das restaurações cerâmicas multicamadas e monolíticas. Revisão de literatura: embora as cerâmicas odontológicas sejam utilizadas para confecção de restaurações dentárias indiretas por possuem excelentes propriedades mecânicas e estéticas, é um material susceptível à fratura sob forças oclusais. Para compensar essa fragilidade, restaurações multicamadas são confeccionadas associando um material mais resistente para a infraestrutura e posterior aplicação de cerâmica para recobrimento estético. Porém, as restaurações multicamadas apresentam como desvantagem o possível lascamento da cerâmica de recobrimento. Essas falhas comprometem a restauração funcional e esteticamente, exigindo a substituição da peça protética em muitos casos. Sendo assim, devido a evolução dos sistemas cerâmicos e técnicas de processamento, surgiram as restaurações cerâmicas monolíticas fabricadas com um único material a fim de superar tal limitação. Nesse sentido, diferentes materiais e técnicas são apresentados na literatura para a confecção de restaurações cerâmicas monolíticas. Considerações finais: as restaurações multicamadas apresentam bom resultado estético, porém podem apresentar lascamento da cerâmica de recobrimento. Essa limitação é superada pelo uso de um único material para as restaurações monolíticas, mas o resultado estético pode apresentar limitações. De um modo geral, a literatura demonstra um bom comportamento clínico para as restaurações cerâmicas multicamadas e monolíticas quando a técnica de confecção e o sistema cerâmico são bem indicados.

Dente incluso é aquele que não consegue erupcionar, não atingindo sua posição na arcada dentária dentro do tempo esperado. Os Caninos são dentes frequentemente mal posicionados, porém a falha de erupção do canino mandibular é pouco comum, sendo mais frequente a inclusão de caninos maxilares. A transmigração é um fenômeno raro no qual dentes não erupcionados migram através da linha média maxilar ou mandibular, afetando mais comumente os caninos mandibulares. Esses dentes normalmente permanecem inclusos, assintomáticos, sendo descobertos em exames radiográficos para diagnosticar a demora da esfoliação do canino decíduo ou para outras finalidades. O planejamento cirúrgico adequado para cada caso baseia-se nos achados clínicos e radiográficos, onde avalia-se a localização, grau de formação radicular e a existência de espaço para a erupção do dente impactado. O sucesso do tratamento depende da idade do paciente e da posição do dente. No entanto, o tratamento mais indicado é a remoção cirúrgica, pois a permanência desses dentes pode causar danos como a anquilose, reabsorção da raiz e da coroa dos dentes adjacentes, presença de infecção, interferência com próteses, dor, erupção ectópica e outras patologias. Este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar um caso de exodontia do dente 43, incluso, na região do mento com o auxílio da radiografia lateral de mandíbula utilizando-se o filme oclusal.
Effect of applying saline spray on nasal health status of critically ill patients
Authors: Awad Shaimaa Ahmed
Published: December 2018

Objective: A fundamental aspect of hygienic care in ICU is nasal care. However, providing nasal care for critically ill patients is challenging because of caring for very sick patients in a highly stressful environment results in nasal care having a lower priority for nurses than other aspects of care. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of applying saline spray on nasal health status of critically ill patients.Methods: This study was carried out in intensive care units at Emergency Hospital. Sixty patients were enrolled and divided into a study group who received saline nasal spray three times daily for seven days and a control group who received routine hospital care. Secretion load and nasal cultures were assessed before and on the 7th day of nasal care.Results: No significance difference was found between control and study groups as regards to secretion score before nasal care. On the 7th day, there was a statistically significant deterioration of the secretion score by increasing to 3 (p < .001) in the control group. However, a significant improvement was noted in the study group in comparison to the control group (p < .001). In addition, about half of the control group had proliferated Klebsiella in the first culture which continued to the second culture on the 7th day of routine nasal care while no one had proliferated Klebsiella in the studied sample following administration of normal saline spray which was highly statistically significant. Conclusions: The use of saline nasal spray is more effective than routine nasal care in reducing colonization with different bacterial species and improving secretion score.
Public-Private Investment and Macroeconomic Determinants: Evidence from MENA Countries
Authors: Alber Nader , Kheir Vivian Bushra
Published: December 2018

This paper attempts to demonstrate the relationship between macroeconomic factors and each of Private Investment in Energy (PIE) and Private Investment in Telecoms (PIT) from 1990 to 2016 in 21 MENA countries (Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Palestine and Yemen).

Results reveal that both PIE and PIT are Granger caused by GDP, Real Interest Rate, Gross fixed capital formation, private sector, stocks traded are Granger causing PIE. Also, Inflation, Exports of goods and services and Commercial bank branches are Granger causing PIT. All of the ten macroeconomic variables taken up in study are cointegrated with Investment in energy and telecoms with private participation in the long run.

Besides, shocks to all of GDP, gross fixed capital formation, private sector to GDP, general government final consumption expenditure, stocks traded and commercial bank branches (as a proxy of financial inclusion) have a positive and statistically significant effect on the private investment in energy and telecoms.
Truncated V-fractional Taylor's Formula with Applications
Authors: Sousa José Vanterler da Costa , Oliveira Edmundo Capelas de
Published: December 2018

In this paper, we present and prove a new truncated V-fractional Taylor's formula using the truncated V-fractional variation of constants formula. In this sense, we present the truncated V-fractional Taylor's remainder by means of V-fractional integral, essential for analyzing and comparing the error, when approaching functions by polynomials. From these new results, some applications were made involving some inequalities, specifically, we generalize the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality.

One Safe Place: the multidisciplinary approach of domestic violence and child abuse under one roof

The Family Justice Centers are an international model where victims of domestic violence and child abuse can find all help needed under one roof. The FJCs are a collaboration of police, justice, welfare, help centers and authorities. The main target is empowering survivors of violence.

The development of the FJC-model is situated in an evolution of the approach of these forms of violence, starting with the recognition of violence against women and child abuse towards a multidisciplinary and collaborative model starting from the needs of survivors of violence. The FJC-model is explained from a field worker point of view and further developments and expected evolutions are mentioned.

Bio-aerosols are important components of atmospheric aerosols, which can affect human health depending on the origin of biological particles. A real-time monitoring technology for bio-aerosols can rapidly provide information on the current state of biological particles in ambient environment, which substantially minimize the impact of hazardous biological particles. The aim of this study is to evaluate LIF (laser-induced fluorescence) technology on real-time monitoring of bio-aerosols by investigating the correlation between biomaterial concentration (cultured microbes or extracted DNA) and fluorescent particle concentration in ambient environment. For this, we used LIF instrument, BDS (Bio-aerosol Detection System), and analyzed the correlation coefficients from the collected data (the non-fluorescent particle concentration, the fluorescent particle concentration, the cultured microbial concentration, the extracted DNA concentration). Pearson’s correlation coefficients (r) from this study are as follows: 0.85 (p<0.001) between the fluorescent particle concentration and the cultured microbial concentration, 0.93 (p< 0.001) between the fluorescent particle concentration and the extracted DNA concentration, while 0.42 (p<0.01) between the non-fluorescent particle concentration and the cultured microbial concentration, 0.49 (p<0.01) between the non-fluorescent particle concentration and the extracted DNA concentration. It was also found that the size range of the fluorescent particles, which exhibited the highest coefficient for the extracted DNA concentration and the cultured microbial concentration, was 2 to less than 10 micrometer (μm), and their coefficients were 0.89 (p<0.01) and 0.8 (p<0.001), respectively. These results indicate that the fluorescent particles, especially in the range of 2 to less than 10 μm, are highly correlated with bio-aerosols rather than the non-fluorescent particles. Taken together, LIF technology is great for real-time monitoring of bio-aerosols by counting fluorescent particles and resolving particle sizes at ambient atmospheric environment.

Published: December 2018

This is the first comparative study to examine two different background monitoring sites in Japan to compare differences in the concentration and composition of long-range-transported polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) from the Asian continent. This study chose the Noto Peninsula (the Kanazawa University Wajima Air Monitoring Station; WAMS) and Fukue Island (the Fukue-jima Atmosphere and Aerosol Monitoring Station; FAMS) to compare 10 weekly periods in 2009 and 2010 from autumn to spring, seasons that are strongly influenced by the Asian continent. The PAHs concentration differed significantly for most periods at these two sites. The backward trajectory analysis found that the low height of the air mass may cause the low concentration and the similar air mass condition could result in the similar concentration. The concentration of long-range-transported PAHs depended more on the source of the coal combustion areas such as Northeast China in heating period.
Preoperative algorithm for sinus lift procedure
Authors: Hadrowicz Piotr , Hadrowicz Joanna , Milcarz Radosław
Published: December 2018

The dental implants are becoming more used by dental surgeons to perform prosthetic rehabilitation, therefore sinus lift procedure is more often performed. The complications after this procedure by the ENT specialists will be observed. So far a valid algorithm of candidates with naso-sinusal diseases for sinus lift procedure was not established. The interdisciplinary management, including ENT specialist, not only increases the expectation of a better procedural outcome, but also provides a better control while complications occur. The authors postulate that knowledge about sinus lift technique and possible postoperative complications should be well known, both by stomatologists and ENT specialists.
