Colmatação e desempenho de sistemas alagados construídos de escoamento horizontal subsuperficial ao longo de oito anos de operação
Authors: Matos Mateus Pimentel de , von Sperling Marcos , Matos Antonio Teixeira de , Dias Daniel Filipe Cristelo , Santos Calebe Rodrigues Soares
Published: December 2018

RESUMO O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar as condições de funcionamento de dois sistemas alagados construídos de escoamento horizontal subsuperficial (SACs-EHSS), um plantado (SACP) com taboa (Typha latifolia) e outro mantido sem plantas (SACNP), ao longo de oito anos de operação, no tratamento de esgoto sanitário. Mediu-se a extensão do escoamento superficial, como indicativo da colmatação do meio poroso ao longo do tempo, além de diversas variáveis que possibilitem inferências sobre as possíveis perdas de eficiência do sistema na remoção de poluentes dessa água residuária. As avaliações indicaram que o meio poroso dos dois SACs se encontra colmatado (mais de 80% do leito apresentando escoamento superficial), estando o SACNP, atualmente, em pior situação, tendo havido prejuízo do seu potencial de remoção de sólidos e nitrogênio em relação ao SACP. Apesar disso, o desempenho em ambos os sistemas permanece satisfatório, não existindo tendência de decréscimo acentuado nas suas capacidades de remoção de poluentes, contrariando a expectativa e corroborando resultados obtidos em trabalhos de monitoramento desses sistemas por longos períodos de tempo. A carga aplicada e o tipo de pré-tratamento a que o esgoto foi submetido parecem ter sido mais decisivos na eficiência dos sistemas em remover nutrientes/poluentes do que o próprio período de operação das unidades, sobretudo no que se refere ao SACP.

Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the initial results and the possible complications of the combination of pelvic fixation using iliac screws in long instrumentations of the lumbar spine in elderly patients. Methods: An analysis of 38 patients who underwent lumbar spine arthrodesis instrumentation with more than 3 levels, in which we included level L5-S1 and extended the fixation to the iliac crest. Radiological assessment of instrumentation through X-ray of the lumbar spine and pelvis, and computed tomography, to investigate the presence of radiological fusion. Clinical evaluation through a questionnaire of buttock pain including the visual analogue pain score (VAS). Complications related to pelvic instrumentation were investigated. Results: All patients had radiological fusion in the lumbosacral transition. A halo was found around the iliac screw on imaging studies in 31% of patients, but without related symptoms. The questionnaire of buttock pain found that 15% of patients had some low intensity buttock pain (VAS 1-2) and no need to or interest in removing the screws. There was infection at the surgical site in 2% of cases, hematoma in the buttocks in 5%, and vertebral body fracture in the cranial level instrumented in 7% of cases. Conclusions: Pelvic fixation through the iliac screws proved to be effective in protecting the S1 screws in long instrumentations including the L5-S1 level in elderly patients, allowing the radiological bone fusion. The overall results for pain were satisfactory, based on a questionnaire of buttock pain. There are no signs of overload or degeneration of the sacroiliac joints in the early years after surgery. Level of Evidence IV; Case series - therapeutic study.

Published: December 2018

RESUMO Objetivo: Compreender as contradições envolvidas no processo de reconstrução curricular na formação do enfermeiro, pela percepção dos docentes. Método: Estudo qualitativo, na modalidade interpretativa, no qual foram entrevistados docentes de cursos de enfermagem de três instituições públicas e três privadas. A análise ocorreu por meio da hermenêutica-dialética. Resultados: Participaram 21 docentes. Constatou-se que as propostas de mudanças são permeadas por avanços e resistências, uma vez que o olhar ampliado do processo saúde-doença é contraposto à visão biologicista; a diversificação dos cenários de aprendizagem confronta-se com a hegemonia do cenário hospitalar; a integração ensino-serviço esbarra na desigualdade de participação das partes; e a integração básico-clínica encontra resistência no saber acumulado de cada disciplina. Conclusão: As contradições encontradas, embora inerentes ao processo de mudanças, indicam ser necessário persistência e contínuo movimento de reformulação curricular.

Place Your Bets: Adversarial Collaboration for Scientific Advancement
Authors: Bollacker Kurt , Paritosh Praveen , Welty Chris
Published: December 2018

The AI Bookie column documents highlights from AI Bets, an online forum for the creation of adjudicatable predictions and bets about the future of AI. While it is easy to make a prediction about the future, this forum was created to help researchers craft predictions whose accuracy can be clearly and unambiguously judged when they come due. The bets will be documented on line, and regularly in this publication in The AI Bookie. We encourage bets that are rigorously and scientifically argued. We discourage bets that are too general to be evaluated, or too specific to an institution or individual. The goal is not to continue to feed the media frenzy and pundit predictions about AI, but rather to curate and promote bets whose outcomes will provide useful feedback to the scientific community.

Published: December 2018

A Caatinga é um bioma marcado por intensos processos de degradação carecendo de estratégias mitigadoras para compensação como o cultivo de mudas. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o processo de produção e aprofundar as discussões acerca da importância da produção de mudas nativas da caatinga para o semiárido do Nordeste brasileiro. O estudo foi realizado no Centro de Educação Ambiental do Semiárido de Pernambuco – CEASAPE, em Ibimirim - PE. Para obtenção dos resultados alcançados foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográficas sobre a problemática e análise documental do histórico da ONG, visitas técnicas para tomada de informações acerca das metodologias adotada na atividade desenvolvida pela sua equipe multiprofissional administrada pela ASSUVAM. Diante do exposto pode-se averiguar que o CEASAPE aproveita de maneira aceitável os mecanismos e utensílios para a atividade de produção de mudas, dentre eles a matéria-prima com foco na recuperação de áreas degradadas e paisagismo urbano para o município de Ibimirim e semiárido de Pernambuco. Com isso, conclui-se que a produção de mudas nativas é uma alternativa para recomposição das áreas antropizadas da caatinga e desenvolvimento sustentável do semiárido.
ALEXEY M. POZDNEEV (1851-1920) AND RUSSIAN PRACTICAL ORIENTAL STUDIES
Authors: DYBOVSKY Alexander
Published: December 2018

The present paper provides an overview of extensive activities in the field of education of A.M. Pozdneev – a founder and head of Oriental Studies Institute in Vladivostok and Practical Oriental Academy under the Imperial Society of Oriental Studies in St. Petersburg. The founding of the two major academic centers of oriental studies in imperial Russia was of a crucial importance for the geopolitical strategy of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries, and it is within this historical context that the significance of the activities of A.M. Pozdneev is analyzed here. At the end of the 19th century, foresighted imperial government officials (namely, S. Yu. Vitte and N. P. Bogolepov among others) set a task to train specialists in living languages, economics and everyday life of countries of the Middle East and the Far East. Russian imperial officials realized the importance of training the necessary staff for a broad variety of administrative, commercial and industrial institutions of Asian part of Russia and neighbor-states. The main burden of the implementation of the above-mentioned task set by the State fell on a Professor of the St. Petersburg University, Doctor of Mongolian Literature, A.M. Pozdneev. In the beginning of the 20th century, under Pozdneev’s guidance, a group of young, talented graduates of St. Petersburg University in Vladivostok’s Oriental Studies Institute revolutionized the organization of Oriental Studies education and research, and made an invaluable contribution to the development of Russian scholarship on the East Asia. The present article reveals the main directions of innovative activities and academic achievements of the School of Practical Oriental Studies in Vladivostok and St. Petersburg and its role in the establishment of the field of modern Russian oriental studies. The role of A.M. Pozdneev as an ideologist, promoter, and the leader of the Russian School of Practical Oriental Studies is described in detail on the basis of the analysis of a wide variety of archival materials and the Oriental Studies Institute reports. A list of the main works of A.M. Pozdneev compiled by Т.V. Polikarpova is provided.

Similaridad del nicho ecológico de Pinus montezumae y P. pseudostrobus (Pinaceae) en México: implicaciones para la selección de áreas productoras de semillas y de conservación
Authors: Manzanilla Quiñones Ulises , Delgado Valerio Patricia , Hernández Ramos Jonathan , Molina Sánchez Agustín , García Magaña J. Jesús , Rocha Granados Ma. del Carmen
Published: December 2018

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los modelos de nicho ecológico se han usado para entender de qué manera las especies pueden cambiar o persistir en un espacio ambiental y geográfico a lo largo del tiempo. Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron i) modelar el nicho ecológico de P. montezumae y P. pseudostrobus en México, ii) evaluar y comparar la similaridad y equivalencia de la idoneidad del nicho entre las áreas de distribución de las dos especies, y iii) proponer zonas geográficas potenciales para la delimitación de áreas productoras de semillas y conservación para cada especie.Métodos: Se usaron datos geográficos para predecir la distribución de especies y climáticos topográficos y edáficos como predictores ambientales, fueron modelados con base en el algoritmo de Máxima Entropía. Se estimaron parámetros de similaridad (I) y equivalencia (D) para conocer el grado de traslape del nicho. Para la selección de áreas semilleras se usaron los datos ambientales que definieron la distribución de cada especie y dasométricos del Inventario Nacional Forestal y de Suelos (INFyS).Resultados clave: Los modelos muestran que las dos especies presentan zonas muy similares de alta idoneidad, distribuidas en la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana y en la Sierra Madre del Sur. Las mayores contribuciones al modelo de Pinus pseudostrobus fueron las variables temperatura promedio anual (41.3%) y precipitación total anual (14.3%), mientras que el suelo (31.1%) y la altitud (29%) fueron determinantes para el modelo de P. montezumae. El traslape de nicho presenta un valor observado de equivalencia (D=0.430) menor al de similaridad (I=0.610), sugiriendo que las especies tienen un nicho similar, pero que este no es equivalente en su totalidad, el cual podría estar en proceso de diversificación.Conclusiones: La idoneidad del nicho ecológico es similar para las dos especies de pino, pero no es equivalente al presentar variables ambientales diferenciales. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para la selección potencial de áreas productoras de semillas y conservación para cada especie.

Published: December 2018

Background

Mobile Therapeutic Attention for Patients with Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia (m-RESIST) is an EU Horizon 2020-funded project aimed at designing and validating an innovative therapeutic program for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The program exploits information from mobile phones and wearable sensors for behavioral tracking to support intervention administration.

Objective

To systematically review original studies on sensor-based mHealth apps aimed at uncovering associations between sensor data and symptoms of psychiatric disorders in order to support the m-RESIST approach to assess effectiveness of behavioral monitoring in therapy.

Methods

A systematic review of the English-language literature, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, was performed through Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Studies published between September 1, 2009, and September 30, 2018, were selected. Boolean search operators with an iterative combination of search terms were applied.

Results

Studies reporting quantitative information on data collected from mobile use and/or wearable sensors, and where that information was associated with clinical outcomes, were included. A total of 35 studies were identified; most of them investigated bipolar disorders, depression, depression symptoms, stress, and symptoms of stress, while only a few studies addressed persons with schizophrenia. The data from sensors were associated with symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and depression.

Conclusions

Although the data from sensors demonstrated an association with the symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and depression, their usability in clinical settings to support therapeutic intervention is not yet fully assessed and needs to be scrutinized more thoroughly.
6.15%: Taking Numbers at Interface Value
Authors: Holtrop Tjitske
Published: December 2018

This article discusses a number, 6.15%, as it comes into being in the course of an evaluation study of education in a southern Afghan province. This number indicates that out of 100 school-aged girls 6.15 go to school. While this kind of number may invite refl ections on its epistemic accuracy, more often it draws attention to its inherent negative — the girls that do not go to school — substantiating a need for sustained international commitment. As this article will show, numbers work to establish girls as research entities, as part of populations, and as a concern for the Afghan government and the international intervention. This interfacing work of numbers — between girls, states, interventions, and research protocols — is often absent from academic work that takes numbers to be stable and passive tools with which the world can be known. This article, instead, takes numbers to have an internally complex multiplicity and to actively engage with their environments. In this article, I use the interface between numbers and environment as a space for ethnographic exploration of world-making. By describing three moments in the lifecycle of the number — data cleaning, analysis and presentation — I describe three distinct moments of interfacing in which the number comes to act in three capacities: effecting reference, constituting proportional comparison, and evoking doubt and certainty. Detailed understanding of numbering practices provides an opportunity to not just critically assess numbers as end products but to carefully assess the worlds that emerge alongside numbering practices and the ways in which numbers contribute in processes of governance.
Something and Nothing
Authors: Neyland Daniel
Published: December 2018

This paper explores the ways that qualities and quantities can be enacted, bringing realities into being and how qualities and quantities might also be undone, and sometimes in order to do realities better. In particular, undoing has become a focus for accountably resisting quantification. Utilising the neologism of the qualculation, the paper begins by exploring a particular kind of undoing: deletion. Questions are raised regarding the legal, technical and organisational aspects of deletion and then how we might bring ideas from Science and Technology Studies (STS) together to pose questions of deletion and accountability. Subsequently, data from a study of the development of an algorithmic deletion system is presented to explore qualculation, undoing, deletion, accountability and market value in action. The paper will conclude with a discussion of the nature of undoing qualculations, of how undoing is a constitutive action in itself.
On Not Muddling Lunches and Flights
Authors: Lippert Ingmar
Published: December 2018

Calculating and making public carbon footprints is becoming self-evident for multinational corporations. Drawing on ethnographic data I narrate of the calculative routine practices involved in that process. The narration shows how routine yet sophisticated mathematical transformations are involved in retrieving salient information, and second that mathematical consistency is readily interrupted by ‘dirty data’. Such interruptions call for opportunistic data management in devising work-arounds, which effect enough mathematical coherence for the number to hold together. Foregrounding an episode of calculative data retrieval, interruption and work-around contrivance, I employ it to make a comparative reading of two STS analytics, arguing: whereas Callon and Law’s analytic technique of qualculation reveals the episode of data management and work around contrivance as a teleologically oriented process that manages to bridge mathematical inconsistency, Verran’s technique of ontologising troubles enables us to recognise how a number-as-network configures its particular kind of certainty and coherence, how it sticks.
A young lady with inflammation of unknown origin
Authors: Chu Chiu Sum , To Chi Hung , Mok Chi Chiu
Published: December 2018

Takayasu’s arteritis (TAK) is a systemic vasculitis mainly affecting the aorta and its first branches. The initial presentation can be very non-specific while its sequelae can be debilitating and fatal. Apart from clinical and biochemical tests, imaging studies remain pivotal for the diagnosis of this rare disease. Delay in treatment may result in vascular stenosis, leading to morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a young woman who presented with anemia with no obvious causes. Subsequently she developed ischemic symptoms and the diagnosis of TAK was established with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Our case illustrates the importance of recognition of the possibility of TAK in young women who presented with non-specific systemic upset and anemia of chronic inflammation. A high index of suspicion is needed and imaging studies should be considered early. The treatment of TAK will also be briefly reviewed.
Crítica de la educación física crítica: eurocentrismo pedagógico y limitaciones epistemológicas
Authors: Moreno-Doña Alberto , Toro Arévalo Sergio , Gómez Gonzalvo Fernando
Published: December 2018

Se presenta un análisis crítico del libro “Educación Física y pedagogía crítica, Propuestas para la transformación personal y social”. Este libro aborda la pedagogía crítica, desde la asignatura de Educación Física, con una visión eurocéntrica que limita los postulados críticos y la forma de entender la transformación social. El libro orienta la pedagogía crítica desde una lógica dominante que invisibiliza las perspectivas críticas construidas desde colectivos vulnerados. Además, se utilizan autores casi exclusivamente de los contextos europeos y norteamericanos para fundamentar sus postulados y, al mismo tiempo, se invisibilizan aportes que emergen desde el sur global, higienizándolos para hacerlos encajar en la perspectiva científica del llamado norte global. Si bien planteamos que la inclusión de esos ‘otros’ autores(as) no es indispensable, proponemos la necesaria comprensión de la complejidad del fenómeno fenómeno educativo a través de los sujetos situados en las zonas que presentan mayores índices de desigualdad.

Nexus analysis in the study of the changing field of language learning, language pedagogy and language teacher education
Authors: Kuure Leena , Riekki Maritta , Tumelius Riikka
Published: December 2018

Nexus analysis is becoming increasingly employed in a variety of research fields. It is seen to be particularly suited to exploring complex and changing phenomena. It entails a mediated discourse perspective to social action and interaction. In discourse studies, this involves switching the perspective from language to social semiotic meaning making in its full spectrum not only here and now but at the same time reaching across more distant spatial and temporal orientations. As the tradition of nexus analysis is still young there are no established interpretations of how to conduct research with an interest in such complexities in flux. This paper presents a review of studies in which nexus analysis or mediated discourse analysis has been applied in research related to language pedagogy and language teacher education. The review shows how research in the field is in emergence and the interpretations concerning the theoretical-methodological underpinnings vary to some extent.
Solventless coating for Tablets: An alternative to conventional coating technique
Authors: Jaimini Manish , Jain Arpit , Sharma Sanjay K. , Mohan Shailender
Published: December 2018

There are many ways to coat tablets. Coatings are a very important part in the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage form to achieve excellent formulation quality (e.g., color, texture, mouth feel, and taste masking), physical and chemical protection for the drugs in the dosage forms, and modification of drug release characteristics. Most film coatings are applied as aqueous or organic-based polymer solutions. Such film coating brings their own disadvantages. Solventless coatings are alternative technique of coating. Solventless coating technologies can overcome many of the disadvantages associated with the use of solvents (e.g., solvent exposure, solvent disposal, and residual solvent in product) in pharmaceutical coating. Solventless processing reduces the overall cost by eliminating the tedious and expensive processes of solvent disposal/treatment. In addition, it can significantly reduce the processing time due to reduction of step of drying/evaporation. These environment-friendly processes are performed without any heat in most cases (except hot-melt coating) and thus can provide an alternative technology to coat temperature-sensitive drugs. This review includes various solventless coating methods like magnetic assisted impaction coating , hotmelt coating, supercritical fluid spray coating, electrostatic coating, dry powder coating, and photocurable coating that can be used to coat the pharmaceutical dosage forms.

الخطر الصهيوني والسياسات الدولية في منظور "نجيب عازوري" أحد رواد القومية العربية في مطلع القرن العشرين
Authors: Ben dahmane Hafida
Published: December 2018

عندما
تقرأ اسم "نجيب عازوري" لأول وهلة سيتبادر إلى ذهنك أفكاره القومية
ونشاطه السياسي لفصل العرب عن الدولة العثمانية في بداية القرن العشرين، وقليل من
الناس من يقرن اسم عازوري بنظرته -في ذلك الوقت المبكر- للحركة الصهيونية التي
كانت تحفر طريقها بتأنٍّ بعيدا عن أعين الرقباء. هذا العربي المسيحي الذي تكوّن في
المدارس الدينية الفرنسية ببيروت وتشرّب من الثقافة الأوروبية بباريس، كان من
أوائل من تفطّن ونبّه للخطر الصهيوني على الأمة العربية وعلى السلم العالمي، وفي
كتابه الشهير "يقظة الأمة العربية" الذي أصدره باللغة الفرنسية، قرن بين
الحركة القومية العربية والحركة الصهيونية والسياسات الدولية، فجاءت فكرة البحث
لتفكيك العلاقة بين العناصر المذكورة وتحليل أفكار عازوري من أجل التحقق من مدى
الوعي لدى النخب العربية بالخطر الحقيقي الذي كان يهدد الأمة، ومدى صلاحية الحلول
التي تم اقتراحها لمواجهة هذا الخطر.
ANALYSIS OF FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER OF FLUID WITH ESSENTIAL DEPENDENCE OF VISCOSITY FROM TEMPERATURE
Authors: Timoshchenko A.V. , Dmitrenko N.P. , Kovetska M.M.
Published: December 2018

The introduction of new environmentally safe, durable and fire-resistant thermal insulation based on basalt fiber requires the improvement of technological processes for the production of basalt filaments in order to increase their energy efficiency. The quality of basalt fiber significantly depends on the properties of the basalt melt in the process. The process is considered to be more perfect than the more homogeneous and isotropic final properties of the melt. The conditions of flow and heat transfer in the bath and feeder of the melting furnace have a significant impact on the final properties of the melt.

The paper presents the results of studies of heat transfer in the boundary layer on a flat plate with the flow of a liquid, the viscosity of which depends significantly on temperature. The system of differential equations, which describes the steady-state flow regime, is solved using symmetry analysis (analysis of Lie groups).

On the basis of the developed mathematical model, new results were obtained which characterize the regularities of the flow and heat exchange of a highly viscous fluid in the range of temperature variations from 900 to 1450 ° C. The conditions for the formation of a low-mobility layer of liquid near a solid surface are determined. The influence of the value of a low-mobility fluid layer on the temperature distribution in the boundary layer of basalt melt is established.

The results obtained allow us to adjust the temperature regimes in the melting furnace and improve the process of manufacturing ultrathin basalt threads.
