O LÉXICO COMO INDÍCIO DE ORALIDADE EM MANUSCRITOS DA PRIMEIRA METADE DO SÉCULO XVIII DAS MINAS GERAES
Authors: Prado Mendes SOÉLIS Teixeira
Published: December 2017

Não existe outra forma de pesquisar a língua pretérita que não seja por meio da escrita, sejam os textos literários ou não-literários. Mas qual o grau de representatividade da oralidade em documentos pretéritos? Esta é a questão que, de forma geral, conduziu a pesquisa realizada e cujos resultados serão apresentados neste artigo. Nosso objetivo é discutir (e mostrar) de que forma combinações lexicais restritas, extraídas de 14 processos-crime, escritos em Vila Rica e em Vila Real de Sabará, na primeira metade do século XVIII, período que marca a colonização das Minas Geraes, indiciam a presença de oralidade nesses documentos. Após o levantamento e análise de 42 combinações lexicais restritas e a respectiva busca em corpora coetâneos, constatou-se que nove delas, que não figuraram nos bancos de textos pesquisados, podem ser consideradas como resquícios de oralidade.   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
QUANDO O CA[x]O VIRA CA[r]O: A PERCEPÇÃO DOS RÓTICOS EM UM MUNICÍPIO DE COLONIZAÇÃO POMERANA
Authors: Silva Felipe Bilharva da , Ferreira-Gonçalves Giovana
Published: December 2017

O presente trabalho busca investigar a influência do Pomerano, língua de imigração Baixo-Saxã falada no município de Arroio do Padre (RS), na percepção dos segmentos róticos por estudantes bilíngues e monolíngues do segundo, terceiro, quarto e sexto anos de duas escolas públicas. Para tanto, foram formados três grupos de investigação: bilíngues de Arroio do Padre (grupo BA), monolíngues de Arroio do Padre (grupo MA) e monolíngues de Pelotas (grupo MP, controle). Foram realizados dois testes de percepção. No primeiro, de identificação com escolha forçada, os sujeitos ouviam uma palavra e deveriam associá-la a uma de duas imagens mostradas na tela de um laptop. No segundo, de discriminação do tipo ABX, eram ouvidas três palavras, e os participantes deveriam apontar se uma delas era diferente das demais, se todas eram iguais ou se todas eram diferentes. Após os índices de acerto e os tempos de resposta serem contabilizados, os resultados revelaram que, enquanto o grupo MA aumentou o número de acertos ao longo da escolaridade, e o grupo MP diminuiu o tempo de resposta necessário para escolher a alternativa correta, o grupo BA demonstrou um índice de acertos inferior aos demais, sem uma evolução ao longo das séries.  This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
Educator Perceptions of Virtual Learning System Quality Characteristics
Authors: Padayachee Indira
Published: December 2017

In higher education institutions, digital learning environments, referred to as virtual learning systems in this article, have been adopted and are becoming increasingly popular among academics. A virtual learning system (VLS) has a suite of tools with associated functions and non-functional system characteristics. Higher education institutions (HEIs) implement a VLS with the intent to assimilate e-Learning with face-to-face instruction and thereby derive associated benefits from its usage. Currently there is limited information on educators’ perceptions on the usefulness of VLS tool functionality, and the importance assigned to non-functional characteristics. This article adapted the generic framework of the ISO 9126 external software quality model to ascertain the perceptions of educators with regards to VLS functionality and non-functional quality characteristics. A case study research strategy was adopted, using two South African higher education institutions. The main contribution of this article is a proposed model representing VLS quality in use characteristics, measured by the constructs of perceived usefulness and perceived importance. In addition to the theoretical contribution, this article makes a practical contribution by providing educators’ recommendations on the improvement of VLS quality characteristics. This article has potentially useful implications for the use of a VLS by educators and future VLS design iterations.
Demarcating Mobile Phone Interface Design Guidelines to Expedite Selection
Authors: Renaud Karen Vera , Van Biljon Judy
Published: December 2017

Guidelines are recommended as a tool for informing user interface design. Despite a proliferation of guidelines in the research literature, there is little evidence of their use in industry, nor their influence in academic literature. In this paper, we explore the research literature related to mobile phone design guidelines to find out why this should be so. We commenced by carrying out a scoping literature review of the mobile phone design guideline literature to gain insight into the maturity of the field. The question we wanted to explore was: “Are researchers building on each others’ guidelines, or is the research field still in the foundational stage?” We discovered a poorly structured field, with many researchers proposing new guidelines, but little incremental refinement of extant guidelines. It also became clear that the current reporting of guidelines did not explicitly communicate their multi-dimensionality or deployment context. This leaves designers without a clear way of discriminating between guidelines, and could contribute to the lack of deployment we observed. We conducted a thematic analysis of papers identified by means of a systematic literature review to identify a set of dimensions of mobile phone interface design guidelines. The final dimensions provide a mechanism for differentiating guidelines and expediting choice.
Imagens de infância em Peter Pan de James Barrie
Authors: Gaspar Bianca Serafim , Carvalho Richarles Souza de
Published: December 2017

O presente artigo busca fazer uma análise da obra Peter Pan, de James Matthew Barrie. Procura-se verificar mediante um trabalho de interpretação de que maneira a criança e sua infância são representadas na obra, justamente quando a sociedade (século XIX) começa a ter um novo olhar em relação à infância. O referencial teórico demonstra de que maneira a criança era representada nas artes e na literatura e as mudanças ocorridas no decorrer dos séculos. Foram construídas duas expressões que ajudam a entender como a infância é descrita no livro: “infância garantida” e “não infância”. Também foi possível perceber que a obra continua atual devido à relevante temática que ela oferece.PALAVRAS CHAVE: Literatura. Infância. Peter Pan.
Os caminhos da recuperação da aprendizagem: uma análise de duas escolas da rede municipal de Criciúma/SC
Authors: Bona Grasiela Teixeira de , Silveira Zélia Medeiros
Published: December 2017

A avaliação é um dos componentes do trabalho do professor que, aliados a outros, contribuem para a aprendizagem do aluno. O empenho dos professores no ato de avaliar deve englobar o compromisso com a aprendizagem, portanto o processo avaliativo tem por objetivo diagnosticar as dificuldades dos alunos que não aprenderam determinados conteúdos, indicando ao professor a intervenção pedagógica mais adequada para garantir a aprendizagem dos mesmos. Foi neste sentido que este trabalho de pesquisa objetivou compreender como os professores do 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental realizam a recuperação de conteúdos que não foram apropriados pelos alunos durante o processo ensino-aprendizagem. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo teórico sobre as funções da avaliação da aprendizagem e recuperação dos conteúdos, como contribuição para o processo educativo. Realizou-se também uma pesquisa de campo e com duas professoras de duas escolas da rede Municipal de Criciúma S/C, para perceber qual a concepção de avaliação e da recuperação da aprendizagem se fazem presentes no cotidiano escolar dessas duas professoras que atuam no 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental, e com as gestoras sobre as escolas. Além das entrevistas, analisou-se as concepções de aprendizagem, avaliação e recuperação presentes no PPP das escolas. Por meio de entrevista pesquisou-se também as gestoras sobre a realidade da escola. Tendo por base esses dados analisados, constatou-se ao final da pesquisa indícios da concepção de avaliação e recuperação da aprendizagem classificatória, na prática pedagógica de uma das professoras, a qual considera que a finalidade da avaliação é a nota, e, portanto, a recuperação é para melhoria da mesma. Já a concepção formativa, foi percebida na prática pedagógica da outra professora, pois considera a avaliação como parte do processo de aprendizagem do aluno, e que a recuperação do conteúdo contribui para a melhoria da mesma. Nesse sentido percebe-se a necessidade das Escolas Municipais de Criciúma S/C, refletirem sobre a concepção de aprendizagem e avaliação presentes na escola.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Avaliação. Aprendizagem. Recuperação.
Ensino de Ciências no 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental: reprodutivo ou problematizador? O que pensam os alunos?
Authors: Rocha Shirley Monteiro , Silveira Zélia Medeiros
Published: December 2017

O processo ensino-aprendizagem vem sendo tema de estudo por diversos pesquisadores no cenário atual da educação, incitando as discussões sobre a importância da problematização das práticas pedagógicas. Foi pensando nessa perspectiva que a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar se os alunos do 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental formulam problematizações nas aulas de Ciências. Com o propósito de aprofundar a concepção problematizadora, dedicou-se ao estudo teórico das obras de Paulo Freire e de Delizoicov, Angotti e Pernambuco, que vêem na problematização a possibilidade da construção de novos saberes por meio de uma prática pedagógica interativa. Realizou-se ainda uma pesquisa de campo em uma escola pública municipal de Criciúma, por meio da observação de duas aulas de Ciências além da entrevista com sete alunos do 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental. Os resultados indicaram que os alunos não formulam problematizações durante ou após a aula de Ciências e suas posturas distanciam-se da Problematização da educação proposta por Paulo Freire e Delizoicov, Angotti e Pernambuco, pois ainda estão inseridos num processo de ensino que visa à reprodução dos conteúdos prejudicando sua formação como sujeitos críticos e reflexivos, os colocando na posição de expectadores e não participantes ativos na apropriação do conhecimento.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Problematização.

Authors: Pereira Tamires Fernandes , Camargo Gislene
Published: December 2017

O presente artigo busca analisar o significado que as mães de um Centro de Educação Infantil de Criciúma, SC atribuem ao cuidar e educar, refletindo sobre a valorização ou desvalorização da Educação Infantil. Busca também, verificar as razões pelas quais as mães matriculam seus filhos (as) na idade de 0 a 3 anos; diferenciar a relação entre o cuidar e educar; verificar a visão que as mães têm entre o cuidar e educar exercidas pelos professores; e conhecer o que é ser uma boa professora de Educação Infantil na visão das mães. Quanto à abordagem a pesquisa caracteriza-se como qualitativa e quanto aos objetivos descritiva. Foram analisados os dados a partir de entrevista com sete mães. Neste estudo, foi possível constatar que a Educação Infantil é importante para o desenvolvimento das crianças, porém se faz necessário que as mães reconheçam a relação entre o cuidar e educar na Educação Infantil como tarefas indissociáveis e pedagógicas, não sendo o cuidar somente a higiene e o cuidado com o corpo, e o educar as atividades pedagógicas. Percebeu-se que as mães valorizam a Educação Infantil e lhe atribuem papéis relacionados ao processo pedagógico e que é papel da instituição, também orientar as/os mães/pais sobre o cuidar e educar.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Cuidar e educar.

Are Adult Cats Fed on Wet Maintenance Diets Less at Risk of Developing
Chronic Kidney Disease Compared to Adult Cats Fed on Dry Maintenance
Diets?
Authors: McLeonard Catherine Anne
Published: December 2017

A comprehensive search of the available veterinary literature
found three studies which assess whether feeding wet or dry maintenance
diets place cats at an increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
diagnosis. None of the three studies found any significant benefit of
feeding either diet in reducing the risk of CKD. However, the criteria used
to diagnose CKD was not standardised across any of the three studies. There
is currently insufficient evidence that feeding a wet maintenance diet will
help to reduce the risk of CKD but further studies are needed to assess
whether diet can play some role in reducing the risk of CKD
diagnosis.

Formando ciudadanos: Bien común, Profesores y movilizaciones estudiantiles en Chile
Authors: Cavieres-Fernández Eduardo , Urrutia Carlos
Published: December 2017

El presente trabajo explora las concepciones de profesores de historia de enseñanza secundaria acerca del bien común y la relación de estas concepciones con la formación ciudadana y las movilizaciones estudiantiles que se han desarrollado en Chile en los últimos años. Para ello se realizaron entrevistas grupales a 23 profesores en cinco ciudades distribuidas a lo largo de Chile. A la luz de los hallazgos, y considerando el marco teórico de este trabajo sustentado en una comprensión del bien común que resalta su vinculación con la sociedad civil, discutimos que, a pesar de ciertas limitaciones que se amplifican por la falta de apoyos institucionales, los profesores poseen perspectivas acerca del bien común centradas en el bienestar general de la sociedad que transmiten en su enseñanza; y conforme a las cuales, junto con reconocer los aportes de las movilizaciones estudiantiles a la participación ciudadana en el país -en particular de los estudiantes valoran que les ayudan a tratar en el aula la temática del bien común, generalmente ausente en el currículo que imparten. Dado el carácter exploratorio del estudio, sugerimos una serie de preguntas de investigación para estudios futuros que puedan profundizar los hallazgos presentados.

Authors: Pulido Alva del Rocío , Domínguez Débora , Sandoval María del Carmen
Published: December 2017

En los últimos años la educación superior en México ha intensificado sus esfuerzos por elevar la calidad de los procesos educativos a través del fomento de la investigación científica, la habilitación de la planta académica y el fortalecimiento de los cuerpos académicos así como de las respectivas líneas de generación y aplicación del conocimiento. La finalidad de este estudio fue describir los procesos de conformación y evolución así como las fortalezas y debilidades de los cuerpos de una facultad de ingeniería. El estudio fue descriptivo transversal con enfoque mixto. Por una parte se analizaron datos estadísticos relevantes proporcionados por la institución y se empleó la entrevista estructurada dirigida a líderes y ex líderes de dicho centro con la finalidad de recolectar sus puntos de vista. Los principales resultados indicaron que dichos cuerpos académicos presentaron limitaciones respecto a su conformación debido a que los profesores no cumplían con los requisitos para el grado de doctor ni había productos académicos desarrollados entre sus integrantes. Por otra parte, se hallaron avances en el número de cuerpos académicos en consolidación. La principal fortaleza identificada fue que el total de los integrantes de cada cuerpo académico cuenta con el reconocimiento del perfil deseable otorgado por el Programa para el Desarrollo Profesional Docente, al tiempo que la mayor debilidad se manifiesta en el escaso número de miembros pertenecientes al Sistema Nacional de Investigadores.

Действие сульфата меди на рост и морфологию клеток клоновых культур четырёх видов бентосных диатомовых водорослей (Bacillariophyta) Чёрного моря
Authors: Романова Д. Ю. , Петров А. Н. , Неврова Е. Л.
Published: December 2017

Многие виды диатомовых водорослей чувствительны к влиянию экологических стрессоров, поэтому изменения показателей их развития под воздействием различных токсикантов могут быть использованы как биоиндикаторы при оценке качества среды. Целью работы было исследование особенностей роста популяции и изменения морфологии клеток диатомовых водорослей при однократном внесении раствора сульфата меди (CuSo4∙5H2O) в пяти последовательно снижающихся концентрациях ионов меди (от 128 мкг·л-1 Cu2+ до 8 мкг·л-1 Cu2+). В эксперименте использованы клоновые культуры четырёх видов морских бентосных форм Bacillariophyta, выделенных из Чёрного моря: Cyclophora tenuis Castracane 1878, Psammodictyon panduriforme var. continua (Grunow) Snoeijs 1998, Entomoneis paludosa (W. Smith) Reimer in Patrick & Reimer 1975 и Haslea sp. Первые два упомянутых вида зарегистрированы нами впервые для черноморской флоры. По результатам 10-суточных токсикологических экспериментов установлено, что по степени резистентности к токсиканту изученные виды подразделяются на две группы. Высокочувствительные виды P. panduriforme var. continua и Haslea sp. прекращают деление клеток уже при минимальных концентрациях токсиканта (8 мкг·л-1). Токсический порог воздействия сульфата меди, вызывающий остановку развития и роста численности клеток, у данных двух видов очень низкий (диапазон между контролем и концентрацией 8 мкг·л-1). В группе среднетолерантных видов для E. paludosa пороговой является концентрация ионов меди 16 мкг·л-1: при воздействии такого уровня токсиканта различия средних значений численности клеток всегда статистически достоверны. Для C. tenuis пороговая концентрация Cu2+, при которой угнетение роста клеток относительно контроля всегда статистически достоверно, составляет 32 мкг·л-1. При низких концентрациях ионов меди (8 и 16 мкг·л-1) рост численности клеток среднетолерантных видов по мере увеличения периода экспозиции аппроксимируется степенной (для C. tenuis) либо затухающей сигмоидной (для E. paludosa) моделью. В контроле у каждого из четырёх исследованных видов диатомовых водорослей рост популяции клеток идёт по экспоненциальной модели на протяжении всего эксперимента. Отмечены особенности отклика клеток диатомовых водорослей при высокой концентрации токсиканта, выраженные в нарушении процесса морфогенеза и множественном нерасхождении створок с одной стороны после вегетативной фазы цитокинеза.

Authors: Zhao Chun Yan , Si Jian Hua , Feng Qi , Yu Teng Fei , Deo Ravinesh C. , Luo Huan
Published: December 2017

This study investigated the physiological response of Populus euphratica (P. euphratica) to ecological water transport. Results showed significant increases in net photosynthetic (32.71%), stomatal conductance (27.58%), and transpiration (25.18%) rates of P. euphratica prior to the ecological water transport treatment. Internal CO2 concentrations (Ci) decreased significantly compared with the day preceding the treatment (23.69%; P < 0.05). During the treatment, the O, J, I, and P steps quickly increased, with the P step exhibiting the most significant change (P < 0.05). Moreover, Fv /Fm and Fv/Fo values were highest 7 d after the ecological water transport treatment. During the treatment, the initial fluorescence (F0), the maximal fluorescence intensity (Fm), PI, and RC/CSo quickly increased, with an increasing percentage of 9.67%, 46.15%, 59.17%, and 48.54%. In contrast, Vj, ABS/RC, TRo/RC, and ETo/RC rapidly decreased, with a decreasing percentage of 30.43%, 43.54%, 37.50%, and 39.04%, respectively. After the treatment, the average chlorophyll content of a, b, and a + b increased by 26.36%, 8.89%, and 21.93%, respectively, compared with the day preceding the treatment. This study also found that the relationship between soil water content and the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, the transpiration rate, the internal CO2 concentration, Fv/Fm, and Fv/Fo of P. euphratica were strongest during ecological water transport.
An intelligent detecting system for permeability prediction of MBR
Authors: Han Honggui , Zhang Shuo , Qiao Junfei , Wang Xiaoshuang
Published: December 2017

The membrane bioreactor (MBR) has been widely used to purify wastewater in wastewater treatment plants. However, a critical difficulty of the MBR is membrane fouling. To reduce membrane fouling, in this work, an intelligent detecting system is developed to evaluate the performance of MBR by predicting the membrane permeability. This intelligent detecting system consists of two main parts. First, a soft computing method, based on the partial least squares method and the recurrent fuzzy neural network, is designed to find the nonlinear relations between the membrane permeability and the other variables. Second, a complete new platform connecting the sensors and the software is built, in order to enable the intelligent detecting system to handle complex algorithms. Finally, the simulation and experimental results demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed intelligent detecting system, underlying the potential of this system for the online membrane permeability for detecting membrane fouling of MBR.
W kierunku odnowionej wizji rozeznania duszpasterskiego od "peryferii' Kościoła do jego "centrum". Analiza na przykładzie posoborowych reform 'visitas ad limina aspostolorum'
Authors: Kasprzak Artur Antoni
Published: December 2017

Duszpasterskie rozeznanie Papieża Franciszka podkreśla wyrażenie „peryferia Kościoła”. termin ten używany jest przez niego w sensie określenia nowej wrażliwości Kościoła wobec ubogich i wykluczenia społecznego. Niniejsze studium uwydatnia inne znaczenie „peryferii Kościoła”. Odnosząc swoje poszukiwanie do debaty, która miała miejsce po Soborze Watykańskim II, chodzi o kwestię decentralizacji Kościoła. Wprowadzanie w życie kolegialności episkopalnej, głównej treści tego Soboru, przesunęło punkt równowagi w rozeznaniu duszpasterskim z dotychczasowej dynamiki „od centrum do peryferii”, na dynamikę „z peryferii do centrum”. Centrum oznacza tutaj Kościół w Rzymie, a peryferie Kościoły lokalne.Proponujemy podjęcie analizy tej nowej dynamiki na podstawie wizyt ad limina po Soborze Watykańskim ii. W 1975 roku funkcjonowanie tej instytucji stało się bardziej kolegialne. od tego czasu spotkania z Papieżem i Kurią rzymską są organizowane przez grupy biskupów, a uwaga skupia się bardziej na doświadczeniu życia Kościołów na peryferiach. Nowa forma wizyt ad limina jest ilustracją decentralizacji Kościoła po ostatnim Soborze Powszechnym.
"Domowy Kościół" propozycją katechezy dorosłych
Authors: Kurzydło Dariusz
Published: December 2017

W artykule autor dowodzi, że katecheza dorosłych – najważniejsza forma chrześcijańskiej formacji – powinna przyjąć postać wsparcia człowieka w jego codziennego życia. Jezus Chrystus posyłając swego ducha uzdalnia chrześcijan do rozpoznawania swej obecności w świecie jako posługi miłości i nadziei dla zmagającego się co dnia z trudną rzeczywistością. W ramach takiej katechezy nie chodzi o pouczanie dorosłych tak bardzo, jak bycie razem każdego dnia. Droga chrześcijanina w „Kościele domowym” wiedzie poprzez drogę do świętości w małżeństwie; przyjmuje ona postać katechumenatu połączonej ze współczesną wiedzą o człowieku i jego formacji. Katecheza dorosłych stanowi szansę dla Kościoła, by odnowił się w konkretnej miłości na wzór małżeństwa.
"Klub Górski Jelonki" jako miejsce rozwoju rodziny
Authors: Woźniak Magdalena
Published: December 2017

„Klub Górski Jelonki” jest stowarzyszeniem, które powstało w roku 1996. działa przy parafii Podwyższenia Krzyża Świętego na warszawskich Jelonkach. Zrodziło się wśród młodzieży, wywodzącej się ze środowiska oazowego oraz ministrantów i bielanek, z potrzeby rozwijania pasji chodzenia po górach. Zrzesza ono ludzi, którzy pragną doświadczać Boga poprzez obcowanie z dziełem stworzenia. Poprzez podziwianie piękna stworzonego świata pragniemy zbliżać się do Boga Stwórcy, który z miłości do człowieka obdarzył go wszelkimi dobrami. Autorka przedstawia „Klub Górski Jelonki” jako miejsce rozwoju rodziny. Opisuje Stowarzyszenie nie tylko w świetle jego statutowych celów, jak: propagowanie dziedzictwa kulturalnego ziem górskich, rozbudzanie zamiłowania do turystyki i ziem górskich, organizacja wypoczynku dla dzieci i młodzieży, ale również w aspekcie społecznym, kulturowym, a nawet teologicznym. Ukazuje Stowarzyszenie jako wspólnotę, dzięki której rodziny chrześcijańskie mają możliwość realizowania zadań, o których pisze Jan Paweł II w adhortacji Familiaris consortio. Zdaniem autorki, działania podejmowane przez Klub Górski Jelonki wpisują się w tegoroczne hasło roku duszpasterskiego „idźcie i głoście”.
Systematic Review Investigating Multi-disciplinary Team Approaches to Screening and Early Diagnosis of Dementia in Primary Care – What are the Positive and Negative Effects and Who Should Deliver It?
Authors: Smith Toby , Cross Jane , Poland Fiona , Clay Felix , Brookes Abbey , Maidment Ian , Penhale Bridget , Laidlaw Ken , Fox Chris
Published: December 2017

Background:

Primary care services frequently provide the initial contact between people with
dementia and health service providers. Early diagnosis and screening programmes have been suggested
as a possible strategy to improve the identification of such individuals and treatment and planning health
and social care support.

Objective:

To determine what early diagnostic and screening programmes have been adopted in primary
care practice, to explore who should deliver these and to determine the possible positive and negative
effects of an early diagnostic and screening programme for people with dementia in primary care.

Methods:

A systematic review of the literature was undertaken using published and unpublished research
databases. All papers answering our research objectives were included. A narrative analysis of
the literature was undertaken, with the CASP tools used appropriately to assess study quality.

Results:

Thirty-three papers were identified of moderate to high quality. The limited therapeutic options
for those diagnosed with dementia means that even if such a programme was instigated, the clinical
value remains questionable. Furthermore, accuracy of the diagnosis remains difficult to assess due to
poor evidence and this raises questions regarding whether people could be over- or under-diagnosed.
Given the negative social and psychological consequences of such a diagnosis, this could be devastating
for individuals.

Conclusion:

Early diagnostic and screening programmes have not been widely adopted into primary
care. Until there is rigorous evidence assessing the clinical and cost-effectiveness of such programmes,
there remains insufficient evidence to support the adoption of these programmes in practice.
The Rationale for Repurposing Sildenafil for Lung Cancer Treatment
Authors: Keats Theodore , Rosengren Rhonda J. , Ashton John C.
Published: December 2017

There is now a considerable body of evidence for sildenafil possessing anticancer properties. In this
article, we argue the case for testing sildenafil as a lung cancer therapy chemoadjuvant. Currently, lung cancer is
a disease with insufficient treatment options, with only 20% of patients responding to systemic chemotherapy,
and even incremental potential improvements should be explored. We review the literature concerning the biochemical,
physiological and metabolic effects on cancer cells by sildenafil alone, and when combined with
chemotherapeutic agents. Most studies have shown that sildenafil is cytotoxic to cancer cells, both as a monotherapy
and as a chemoadjuvant. Sildenafil enhances cancer cell apoptosis when used as a chemoadjuvant both
in vitro and in vivo. In particular, in rodent experiments sildenafil has decreased tumour size compared to chemotherapy
alone. Sildenafil has also been proven as an agent to decrease drug-efflux by cancer cells and increases
blood perfusion to lung tissue, which can potentially increase the dosage of chemotherapeutic agents
delivered to lung cancer cells compared to healthy tissue. In addition, the proven clinical effects of sildenafil on
other lung diseases suggest that it could improve other patient outcomes, such as right ventricular function and
quality of life. Sildenafil may also extend the half-life of docetaxel and some small molecule inhibitors used in
lung cancer treatment by acting as an inhibitor of CYP3A4. We conclude that the evidence strongly warrants
clinical investigation into the use of sildenafil as an agent for the treatment of lung-cancer.

Introduction/Objective. Seroepidemiological studies are crucial for better understanding of pertussis epidemiology. The aim of this study was to assess the seroprevalence of anti-Bordetella pertussis toxin antibodies (anti-PT IgG) in the adult population of Novi Sad, and to evaluate the differences by age and sex. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 468 healthy adults aged ? 20 years stratified into seven age groups. The youngest of our participants received the last dose of the vaccine at least 18 years ago. Positive results of anti-PT IgG concentrations were considered a consequence of natural pertussis infection or reinfection. A commercial ELISA kit (EuroimmunR, Lubeck, Germany), with anti-PT IgG with four calibrators (5 IU/mL, 25 IU/mL, 100 IU/mL, and 200 IU/mL) was used. Results. Most of the subjects (53.8%) had anti-PT IgG of > 5 to < 62.5 IU/mL. The proportion of participants with high concentrations (62.5 to < 125 IU/mL) was statistically significantly higher in females than in males (5.4% vs. 0.4%, p = 0.002). The highest values of anti-PT IgG were detected among subjects in the age group of 20?24 years (17.5 ?} 22.2 IU/mL), and in the participants ? 60 years of age (15.0 ?} 29.4 IU/ mL). The percentage of anti-PT IgG concentration of ? 62.5 IU/mL was the highest among subjects aged ? 60 years (6.6%) and among those aged 20?24 years (5%). Conclusions. The limited duration of vaccine-induced immunity with subsequent infection or reinfection enables the circulation of pertussis in the adult population of Novi Sad that serves as the reservoir of infection for transmission to vulnerable persons.

Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin liikkuvia hyvinvointipalveluja sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon johtajien, palvelujen kehittäjien sekä työntekijöiden näkökulmista. Tavoitteena oli saadun tiedon avulla lisätä ymmärrystä liikkuvien hyvinvointipalvelujen hyödyistä ja palvelujen kehittämisen edellytyksistä ja haasteista. Tutkimusaineistot koottiin 1) puhelinhaastatteluilla sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon johtotehtävissä toimivilta, liikkuvien hyvinvointipalveluiden suunnittelijoilta ja kehittämiseen osallistuneilta työntekijöiltä (N=12). Haastateltavilla oli kokemusta viidellä alueella toimivista liikkuvista hyvinvointipalveluista. Toinen aineisto (N=21) koottiin neljässä terveydenhuollon työntekijöiden ryhmähaastattelussa. Osalla työntekijöistä oli kokemusta liikkuvista hyvinvointipalveluista. Aineistot analysoitiin sisällön analyysillä. Liikkuvien hyvinvointipalvelujen kehittämisen tärkeänä edellytyksenä nähtiin koko palvelun kehittämisprosessin hallintaa ja monitoimijaista suunnittelua. Tämä edellytti johdon ja työntekijöiden sitoutumista, sitkeyttä ja osaamista pitkäjänteiseen palvelun kehittämiseen. Palvelutarpeet, käyttäjälähtöisyys ja tutkittu tieto nähtiin olennaisina kehittämistyön lähtökohtina. Haasteena nähtiin liikkuvien hyvinvointipalvelujen kokonaisuuden johtaminen ja koordinointi. Toimiminen liikkuvassa hyvinvointipalvelussa edellyttää vastuullisuutta, joustavuutta, ongelmanratkaisu- ja päätöksentekokykyä ja halua työskennellä itsenäisesti. Työpaikkana liikkuva yksikkö koettiin haastavana; työskentely yksikössä vaati tietynlaista työorientaatiota. Toisaalta osaamisen kuvattiin laajenevan ja työnkuvan olevan joustava ja mielenkiintoinen. Ilmapiiriä liikkuvassa yksikössä kuvattiin vapautuneeksi ja hoitomyönteiseksi. Tulosten mukaan vahva tiedotus- ja markkinointiosaaminen on ensiarvoisen tärkeää palvelukonseptin käyttöönotossa ja toiminnassa. Liikkuvien hyvinvointipalveluiden mahdollisuudet vastata erilaisten asiakasryhmien palvelutarpeisiin ovat moninaiset, muuntuvat ja joustavat. Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon palvelurakenteen muuttuessa liikkuva palvelukonsepti voisi tarjota laajat mahdollisuudet hyvinvointipalvelujen monipuoliseen tarjontaan.

Published: December 2017

O ProUni foi instituído com o propósito de possibilitar o acesso de jovens de baixa renda ao convívio acadêmico e à formação universitária. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender a experiência de inclusão e exclusão de alunos prounistas, a partir de diferentes atores sociais que interagem na vida acadêmica desses alunos. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa com dezoito alunos prounistas e não prounistas e quatro professores do curso de Direito de uma universidade da cidade de São Paulo. As entrevistas foram analisadas mediante técnica de categorização temática. A condição de prounista foi percebida como uma identidade de valor negativo, escamoteada por vários alunos. Além disso, as dissimilaridades percebidas acentuam as barreiras entre os grupos. Enquanto o impedimento de acesso a algumas pessoas, grupos e informações são formas de exclusão, inexistem estratégias de inclusão, quer institucionais, de professores ou de outros alunos, cabendo ao próprio prounista a busca da autoinclusão.

Permasalahan yang dialami DAS Binanga Lumbua dari hasil observasi singkat sebelumnya mengindikasikan bahwa DAS ini mengalami kekritisan. Hal tersebut terindikasi karena pada saat musim hujan, wilayah ini mengalami banjir akibat luapan dari DAS. Ketika musim kemarau, wilayah ini mengalami kekeringan dan benar-benar tandus. Salah satu hal yang dapat dilakukan dari adanya indikasi kekritisan pada DAS ini adalah dengan tetap menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem di DAS melalui upaya Pengelolaan DAS menggunakan teknologi spasial Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Tujuan penelitian ini diarahkan untuk mengalisis tingkat kekritisan ekosistem lingkungan DAS Binanga Lumbua dan memberikan arahan pemanfaatan ruang untuk mengelolah lingkungan di DAS Binanga Lumbua berdasarkan pada zonasi tingkat kekritisan. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah teknik analisis overlay dengan mengunakan teknologi spasial GIS. Kekritisan DAS dapat dilihat melalui pendekatan keberadaan air tanah yang berdasarkan pada parameter hidrogeomorfologi dan analisis ini menghasilkan peta tingkat kekritisan DAS. Dari peta tingkat kekritisan DAS inilah yang dijadikan dasar dalam menentukan langkah pengelolaan apa yang akan dilakukan di area DAS Binanga Lumbua ini. Diharapkan pula, penelitian ini bisa dijadikan sebagai langkah awal wilayah ini dalam mengatasi permasalahan lingkungan pada daerah aliran sungai setempat.
