Pulmonary arteriovenous Malformations (PAVMs) are a rare vascular alteration characterized by abnormal communications between the pulmonary arteries and veins resulting in an extracardiac right-to-left (R-L) shunt. The majority of PAVMs are associated with an autosomal dominant vascular disorder also known as Osler-Weber- Rendu Syndrome. PAVMs appearance can be both single and multiple. Clinical manifestations include hypoxemia, dyspnea cyanosis, hemoptysis and cerebrovascular ischemic events or abscesses. We report a case of an 18 year old female with severe respiratory failure caused by a relapse of multiple unilateral pulmonary arterovenous fistula. Symptoms at admission include dyspnea, cyanosis and clubbing. The patient underwent pulmonary angio-TC scan, brain CT and echocardiography. The thoracic angio-CT scan showed the presence of PAVMs of RUL and RLL; a marked increase of right bronchial artery caliber and its branches with an aneurismatic dilatation was also observed. The patient underwent percutaneous transcatheter embolization using Amplatzer Vascular Plug IV; a relevant clinical and functional improvement was subsequently recorded. Embolization is effective in the treatment of relapsing PAVMS.
Changes in the coelomic microclimate during carbon dioxide laparoscopy: morphological and functional implications
Authors: Wilson Robert B.
Published: March 2017

In this article the adverse effects of laparoscopic CO2pneumoperitoneum and coelomic climate change, and their potential prevention by warmed, humidified carbon dioxide insufflation are reviewed. The use of pressurized cold, dry carbon dioxide (C02) pneumoperitoneum causes a number of local effects on the peritoneal mesothelium, as well as systemic effects. These can be observed at a macroscopic, microscopic, cellular and metabolic level. Local effects include evaporative cooling, oxidative stress, desiccation of mesothelium, disruption of mesothelial cell junctions and glycocalyx, diminished scavenging of reactive oxygen species, decreased peritoneal blood flow, peritoneal acidosis, peritoneal hypoxia or necrosis, exposure of the basal lamina and extracellular matrix, lymphocyte infiltration, and generation of peritoneal cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-8 and TNFα. Such damage is increased by high CO2insufflation pressures and gas velocities and prolonged laparoscopic procedures. The resulting disruption of the glycocalyx, mesothelial cell barrier and exposure of the extracellular matrix creates a cascade of immunological and pro-inflammatory events and favours tumour cell implantation. Systemic effects include cardiopulmonary and respiratory changes, hypothermia and acidosis. Such coelomic climate change can be prevented by the use of lower insufflation pressures and preconditioned warm humidified CO2. By achieving a more physiological temperature, pressure and humidity, the coelomic microenvironment can be better preserved during pneumoperitoneum. This has the potential clinical benefits of maintaining isothermia and perfusion, reducing postoperative pain, preventing adhesions and inhibiting cancer cell implantation in laparoscopic surgery.
Physical and Chemical Properties of Surface Waters in the Różany Strumień Catchment in The Years 1988–2012
Authors: Okońska Monika , Pietrewicz Katarzyna
Published: March 2017

The Różany Strumień catchment located in the north of Poznań is an example of a small anthropogenically-induced catchment. The main aim of this study is to analyse the variability of selected physical and chemical properties of surface waters in the catchment area in the years 1988-2012. It was found that surface waters in the catchment can be classified as hard and very hard, with slightly basic pH. The deterioration of Różany Strumień water quality concerns chemical oxygen demand, conductivity, chlorides, sodium, ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen concentrations. The authors of the study have noticed a decrease in the amount of phosphates and sulphates in the water. As observed, the hydrogeochemical type of water changed from calcium-hydrogen carbonate-sulphate into calcium-sodium-hydrogen carbonate-sulphate-chloride. Changes in water chemistry are probably a result of anthropogenic impacts, and they can be associated with the transformation of land use in the catchment area, i.e. the ongoing urbanization of the area.
Mapping Spatial and Temporal Changes of Global Corporate Research and Development Activities by Conducting a Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Csomós György
Published: March 2017

Corporate research and development (R&D) activities have long been highly concentrated in a handful of world cities. This is due to the fact that these cities (e.g., Tokyo, New York, London, and Paris) are home to the largest and most powerful transnational corporations and are globally important sites for innovative start-up firms that operate in the fastest growing industries. However, in tandem with the rapid technological changes of our age, corporate R&D activities have shifted towards newly emerging and now globally significant R&D centres, like San Jose, San Francisco, and Boston in the United States, and Beijing, Seoul, and Shenzhen in East Asia. In this paper, I will conduct a bibliometric analysis to define which cities are centres of corporate R&D activities, how different industries influence their performance, and what spatial tendencies characterise the period from 1980 to 2014. The bibliometric analysis is based upon an assumption that implies there is a close connection between the number of scientific articles published by a given firm and the volume of its R&D activity.

Results show that firms headquartered in Tokyo, New York, London, and Paris published the largest combined number of scientific articles in the period from 1980 to 2014, but that the growth rate of the annual output of scientific articles was much greater in Boston, San Jose, Beijing, and Seoul, as well as some Taiwanese cities. Furthermore, it can also be seen that those cities that have the largest number of articles; i.e., that can be considered as the most significant sites of corporate R&D in which firms operate in fast-growing industries, are primarily in the pharmaceutical and information technology industries. For these reasons, some mid-sized cities that are home to globally significant pharmaceutical or information technology firms are also top corporate R&D hubs.
Discussion of the “Hottest Year on Record” in Australia
Authors: Parker Albert , Ollier Clifford D.
Published: March 2017

The global temperature trends provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology are artificially exaggerated due to subjective and unidirectional adjustments of recorded values. The present paper aims to promote the use of the raw stations’ data corrected only for urban heat island formation. The longer temperature records of Australia exhibit significant oscillations with a strong quasi-60 years’ signature of downward phases 1880 to 1910, 1940 to 1970 and 2000 to present, and upwards phases 1910 to 1940 and 1970 to 2000. A longer oscillation with downward phase until 1910 and an upwards phase afterwards is also detected. The warming since 1910 occurred at a nearly constant rate. Over the full length of the long Australian records since the end of the 1800s, there is no sign of warming or increased occurrence of extreme events. The monthly highest and mean maximum temperatures do not exhibit any positive trend. The differences between monthly highest and lowest, or monthly mean maximum and mean minimum temperatures, are all reducing because of urban heat island formation.

Authors: Cherkasov Vladimir
Published: March 2017

The article has analyzed and systematized the development of musical-pedagogical education in Ukraine in the 60's -70-ies of XX century. It has summarized the experience of training of specialists with higher musical-pedagogical education at the faculties of Humanities, where the 50's - 60's graduates received diplomas of philologists, historians, geographers with additional qualification of a teacher of music and singing. It has also been grounded the establishment of the first musical-pedagogical faculties at educational institutions in different regions of Ukraine (Kyiv, Luhansk, Drohobych, Odesa, Zaporozhia). Having based on the analysis of the archival documents it has been revealed the main directions of the formation of teaching staff of specialized departments, organization of the educational process, creation of the art groups, participation of students in research work, teaching practice at secondary schools. It has been proved the importance of concert performance and musical educational work in the pedagogical formation of prospective teachers of music and singing. Their role in raising the level of musical and aesthetic education of children and youth in the 60's of last century has been proved. The 70‟s years of the twentieth century of the history of Ukraine are known as the years of corresponding changes in the socio-political processes, "thaw" in all spheres of life, particularly in the organization of higher education activity. This period of musical-pedagogical education is characterized by democratization and the search for more advanced forms of the educational-upbringing process.
1. Necklaces and Pendants of the Metal Age on the Territory of Romania
Authors: Olaru Ioana-Iulia
Published: March 2017

The present paper will refer to an aspect of processing metals on the territory of Romania, in Bronze Age and Iron Age (the second age habing been studied up to the moment when Prehistory ended: 1st century B.C., being continued by Antiquity). Unfortunately, few pieces were found in settlements and in necropoleis, so it is difficult to attribute the artifacts of the Metal Age to one or other of the existing cultures, though the region where they were produced can be mentioned. Consequently, their study can lead to another classification than the chronological one, and that is of the field of ornamental arts in metal. We will focus only on two types of objects that embellish the neck and the chest: necklaces and pendants, which help us create a vivid image of this important artistic field of the Iron Age on the territory of our country, these two joining the other important types of jewels: bracelets, rings, fibulae, phaleras.
6. Some Methodology Aspects Regarding the Organic Deposits Removal Interventions in the Prothesis of the Church of Dragomirna Monastery
Authors: Gavrilean Bogdan Teodor
Published: March 2017

Less visible to the general public, the area of the Prothesis inside the sanctuary of the “Pentecost” heritage church, of Dragomirna Monastery, shows a particular casuistic due to the diversity of types of degradation recorded at the time of its restoration (2011). The dominant form is the adherent candlewax deposits, present on the surface of the paint layer in various stages of hardness. The particular state of conservation features occurring in this area, corroborated with a series of aggravating environmental factors, imposed the application of a special restoration intervention methodology in the area of the Prothesis.
12. The Visual Art from Iasi between Tradition and Innovation
Authors: Ştefănescu Mirela
Published: March 2017

After December 1989 in visual art from Iasi were produced numerous changes which have contributed to a new approach of the artistic phenomenon. That was the moment when a new generation of artists appeared and who, unshackle by the rigors of the communist regime, they have created artworks by experimenting the most varied ways of visual expression. An important aspect of this transition period is the place which visual art has it in the culture from Iasi and the aesthetic trends learned by the new generation alongside older artistic directions define the value of the contemporary cultural heritage from Iasi. Also, an important role in the presentation of the visual art from Iasi is the artistic education, which it‟s in a constant development with the advent of new specializations within the Faculty of Visual Arts and Design, highlighting the artistic and scientific potential of the professors and the students of „George Enescu“ Național University of Arts from Iasi.
Practices for modeling oil shale pyrolysis and kinetics
Authors: Raja Muhammad Afzal , Zhao Yongsheng , Zhang Xiangping , Li Chunshan , Zhang Suojiang
Published: March 2017

Oil shale is one of the largest, relatively undeveloped natural fossil fuel resources in the world and so an important potential source of energy. The organic matter of oil shale is present as a complex combination of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen named kerogen. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy affords the opportunity to chemically characterize the main structural skeleton in this kerogen and is a favorable method to study the structural characteristics of kerogen at a molecular level. The thermal degradation of oil shale kerogen is a complex chemical process, accompanied by the wide variety of products obtained, which poses difficulties in the determination of the kinetics and mechanism of pyrolysis. Understanding the kinetics of kerogen decomposition to oil is critical to design a viable retorting process. Comprehensive kinetic data are also essential for accurate mathematical modeling of various oil shale processes. Classic graphical methods cannot unambiguously measure and estimate kinetic parameters due to the mathematical complexity. Advanced isoconversion methods would be appropriate for the calculation of the distribution of activation energies for multiple reactions involved in the decomposition of complex material such as kerogen to products. The range of variability in the principal activation energy is from about 200 to 242 kJ mol−1, with most samples being in the middle half of that range, while the range of frequency factors most likely in the 1012–1016s−1range, with most values within the middle half of that range. The review presents the complexity of the oil shale pyrolysis mechanism and pyrolysis kinetics along with the challenges in experimental procedures and modeling of oil shale pyrolysis kinetics.
Acute ischemic stroke mimicking subarachnoid hemorrhage after coronary angioplasty
Authors: Piršić Ana , Šipić Tomislav , Štambuk Krešimir , Budinčević Hrvoje
Published: March 2017

Use of non-ionic contrast media (CM) in coronary arteriography has been reported to cause transient cortical blindness, confusion, amnesia and very rare focal deficits. We report a 69-year old patient with stable angina pectoris who underwent coronary angioplasty with stent placement due to in-stent thrombosis of the right coronary artery and developed stroke symptoms with radiological suspicion of subarachnoid hemorrhage. No vascular malformations were detected on CT cerebral angiography. Dual antiplatelet treatment was continued. Complete neurological recovery was observed within 48 hours post angiography. As observed with repeated CT scans, sulcal hyperdensities mostly faded after 24 hours and totally disappeared within 7 days when she was discharged home. Our case shows transient neurological symptoms and rapid disappearing of sulcal hyperdensities, suggesting temporary blood brain barrier disruption, consequential cerebral infarction and contrast media extravasation as the main mechanisms which allowed us to treat the patient with dual antiplatelet treatment.

In Search of a Theory: The Interpretative Challenge of Empirical Findings on Cultural Variance in Mindreading
Authors: Gut Arkadiusz , Mirski Robert
Published: March 2017

In this paper, we present a battery of empirical findings on the relationship between cultural context and theory of mind that show great variance in the onset and character of mindreading in different cultures; discuss problems that those findings cause for the largely-nativistic outlook on mindreading dominating in the literature; and point to an alternative framework that appears to better accommodate the evident cross-cultural variance in mindreading. We first outline the theoretical frameworks that dominate in mindreading research, then present the relevant empirical findings, and finally we come back to the theoretical approaches in a discussion of their explanatory potential in the face of the data presented. The theoretical frameworks discussed are the two-systems approach; performance-based approach also known as modularity-nativist approach; and the social-communicative theory also known as the systems, relational-systems, dynamic systems and developmental systems theory. The former two, which both fall within the wider modular-computational paradigm, run into a challenge with the cross-cultural data presented, and the latter - the systemic framework - seems to offer an explanatorily potent alternative. The empirical data cited in this paper comes from research on cross-cultural differences in folk psychology and theory-of-mind development; the influence of parenting practices on the development of theory of mind; the development and character of theory of mind in deaf populations; and neuroimaging research of cultural differences in mindreading.
The Role of Emotions in Delusion Formation
Authors: Smurzyńska Adrianna
Published: March 2017

The text concerns the role of emotions in delusion formation. Provided are definitions from DSM-V and DSM-IV-R and the problems found in those definitions. One of them, the problem of delusion formation, is described when providing cognitive theories of delusions. The core of the paper is a presentation of the emotional and affective disorders in delusions, especially Capgras delusion and Cotard delusion. The author provides a comparison of the kinds of delusions and the conclusions taken from neuroimaging studies. As a result of the fact that an explanation of delusion formation focusing on emotional problems turns out to be insufficient, the author provides examples of the reasoning impairments which coexist with them. At the end of the article, some hypotheses are proposed concerning the role of emotions and reasoning in delusion formation and the relation between belief disorders and emotional disorders.
Language Acquisition in the Light of Rationalist Philosophy of Mind and Philosophy of Language
Authors: Święczkowska Halina , Piecychna Beata
Published: March 2017

The present study deals with the problem of the acquisition of language in children in the light of rationalist philosophy of mind and philosophy of language. The main objective of the paper is to present the way Gerauld de Cordemoy’s views on the nature of language, including its socio-linguistic aspects, and on the process of speech acquisition in children are reflected in contemporary writings on how people communicate with each other. Reflections on 17th-century rationalist philosophy of mind and the latest research conducted within the field of cognitive abilities of human beings indicate that between those two spheres many similarities could be discerned in terms of particular stages of the development of speech and its physical aspects.
Kaluza–Klein Bulk Viscous Fluid Cosmological Models and the Validity of the Second Law of Thermodynamics in f(R, T) Gravity

The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are given by assuming a particular model of the form of f(R, T)=R+2f(T), where f(T)=λT, λ is constant. We studied the cosmological model in two stages, in first stage: we studied the model with no viscosity, and in second stage: we studied the model involve with viscosity. The cosmological model involve with viscosity is studied by five possible scenarios for bulk viscous fluid coefficient (ξ). The total bulk viscous coefficient seems to be negative, when the bulk viscous coefficient is proportional to

Scent gland constituents of the Middle American burrowing python, Loxocemus bicolor (Serpentes: Loxocemidae)
Authors: Schulze Thies , Weldon Paul J. , Schulz Stefan
Published: March 2017

Analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of the scent gland secretions of male and female Middle American burrowing pythons (Loxocemus bicolor) revealed the presence of over 300 components including cholesterol, fatty acids, glyceryl monoalkyl ethers, and alcohols. The fatty acids, over 100 of which were identified, constitute most of the compounds in the secretions and show the greatest structural diversity. They include saturated and unsaturated, unbranched and mono-, di-, and trimethyl-branched compounds ranging in carbon-chain length from 13 to 24. The glyceryl monoethers possess saturated or unsaturated, straight or methyl-branched alkyl chains ranging in carbon-chain length from 13 to 24. Alcohols, which have not previously been reported from the scent glands, possess straight, chiefly saturated carbon chains ranging in length from 13 to 24. Sex or individual differences in secretion composition were not observed. Compounds in the scent gland secretions of L. bicolor may deter offending arthropods, such as ants.

Published: March 2017

The size effect of nanoscale silicon in both amorphous and porous silicon was investigated with micro-Raman spectroscopy. Silicon nanostructures in amorphous silicon were deposited on quartz substrates by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with deposition powers of 15, 30 and 50 W. Micro-Raman spectra of the nanostructured silicon show the T2g Raman active mode shifting from the 521 cm−1 crystalline Si Raman line to 494, 499 and 504 cm−1 as deposition power increased. Large Raman mode shifts, up to 27 cm−1 and broadening up to 23 cm−1 of the T2g Raman-active mode is attributed to a phonon confinement effect. The analysis of micro-Raman scattering data is useful to understand the role of deposition condition of the silicon sample. In addition, micro-Raman scattering intensity of porous silicon prepared using various current densities such as 10, 50 and 125 mA/cm2 has also been investigated. The effect of phonon confinement on the nanoscale porous silicon has been quantified. The relationship between Raman shift and stress on the porous silicon has been evaluated.

Demagogic Style and Historical Method: Locating Cleon's Mytilenean Rhetoric (Thucydides 3.37–40)
Authors: Mader Gottfried
Published: March 2017

Truth-construction and -mediation are theorized both by Thucydides xyngrapheus and by the internal rhetores in his History, with tensions between these perspectives highlighting rhetorically significant moments of political communication. The historian posits the (negative) configuration “contest – pleasure – hearing – untruth – useless” as contrastive foil to his own model of “rigorous enquiry – pleasure disavowed – seeing – truth – useful.” Cleon the demagogue, in a process of rhetorical “contaminatio” or creative fusion, artfully (mis)appropriates and instrumentalizes this model in his critique of Athenian assembly culture, embedding the signature Thucydidean categories in a spirited anti-Thucydidean argument. His distinctive approach, conflating Thucydidean categories and noteworthy Periclean echoes, marks him as both anti-Pericles and anti-Thucydides, and signals a counter-model to the historian's own schema of truth-construction. As such, Cleon's tirade fits into the History's wider concern with the corruption of political discourse over the course of the war.
A Figurative Mind: Gertrude Buck's The Metaphor as a Nexus in Cognitive Metaphor Theory

Published: March 2017

Gertrude Bucks (1899) The Metaphor: A Study in the Psychology of Rhetoric (Die Metapher: Eine Studie in der Psychologie der Rhetorik) ist ein einzigartiges Essay. In vielerlei Hinsicht prognostiziert das Essay die Metaphern des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts in der Rhetorik, der Linguistik und den Kognitionswissenschaften, inklusive Richards (1936) gefeierten Bemerkungen über die mentale Grundlagen von Metapher, sowie der einflussreichen “konzeptuellen Metapher” in Lakoff und Johnson (1980). Bucks Essay spiegelt auch die Themen der Metaphern welche die Deutsch und Französisch lexikalische Semantik des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts faszinierten. Die Metapher ist zwar ein Original, aber eine dennoch vernachlässigt Verbindung der rhetorischen Tradition, der linguistischen Wende und der Kognitionswissenschaft. Wir kartographieren die Konturen dieses Zusammenhangs, und explizieren, wie Bucks Argumente in die Geschichte der kognitiven Metapherstudien hineinpassen, mit einem Augenmerk sowohl auf Müllers Philologie des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts als auch bezüglich Lakoff und Johnsons Linguistik zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts.
The Determinants of the Division of Labor between Men and Women in Paid Employment in the Global North and South
Authors: Cohn Samuel
Published: March 2017

This essay attempts to contribute to the study of gender and development by developing a systematic theory of the division of work between men and women in the global North and the global South. There is an extensive literature on women's work and development; this literature consists of rich case studies that do not attempt to identify general principles that apply to women's work as a whole. In formal employment settings, women are most likely to be excluded from settings where employers are buffered from labor costs and do not have to utilize cheap labor. In the global North, this means settings that are capital-intensive, where raw material and machinery costs reduce the importance of wage costs in total budgets. In the global South, petroleum lowers the importance of wage costs, promoting male employment, while export orientation increases the importance of cheap labor, promoting female employment. Family firms and female self-employment have their own dynamics, which are discussed.
Infrastructure Provisioning and Health Service Utilization in Africa
Authors: Quamruzzaman Amm
Published: March 2017

Although the positive developmental effects of infrastructure provisioning are well documented, research on the potential role of governance in the improvement of infrastructure performance and individual-level service utilization is lacking. I explore the effect of infrastructure provisioning on individual-level health service utilization, paying close attention to whether governance at different levels shapes people's access to health care. The different geographical levels of infrastructure provisioning, governance, and health service utilization require a multilevel analysis, which I perform using Afrobarometer Round 5 survey data on 34 African countries in a three-stage mixed-effects modeling. Results show that the presence of health infrastructure is crucial for enhancing people's health service utilization. However, people encounter certain problems when receiving services at their local health clinics or hospitals, and these problems are directly linked with governance in the health sector as well as overall governance at the country level. Improvements in people's health service utilization therefore require both better infrastructure provisioning and better governance at different levels, as the former does not guarantee the latter. Development scholars need to widen their focus beyond national-level governance and help policy makers identify at which level state interventions are most needed for removing barriers to development.

Dietary factors modify post-menopausal breast cancer risk: a case-control study from Turkish Cypriot population
Authors: Pervaiz Ruqiya , Faisal Faisal , Serakinci Nedime
Published: March 2017

Background: Being potentially modifiable risk factor of breast malignancy, the role of diet in the development of breast cancer (BC) is of great concern. As up to 40 % of cancers can be prevented through dietary strategies; therefore, this case-control study is conducted with the aim to investigate the effects of frequently used dietary factors and postmenopausal BC risk in Turkish Cypriot population. Material and method: Total 786 postmenopausal women including 401 histologically confirmed BC cases and 385 control, recruited from two hospitals i.e. Near East Hospital and Doctor Burhan Nalbantoglu State Hospital Nicosia, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, between the month of July to December 2016. A standardized interview procedure is used and the information is collected using a structured questionnaire from participants after giving informed consent form. For data analysis, SPSS version 20 software is used. Age-adjusted odds ratios (OD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by logistic regression before and after adjusting for potential confounding effects of other factors. Results: The multivariable adjusted model confirmed a 3-fold increased BC risk with daily oil use of ≥ 40 mL (OR = 3.22, 95%CI 2.01-5.17, p<0.001). And 4.1-fold increased risk was associated with 4 to 6 daily servings of sugar intake (OR = 4.19, 95%CI 1.79-9.80, p = 0.001), this risk increased to 7.5-folds (OR = 7.5, 95%CI 3.25-17.32, p<0.001) when the consumption of sugar was increased to > 6 servings per day. Daily 1 to 2-liter water intake was associated with 64% decreased BC risk (OR = 0.36, 95%CI 0.20-0.63, p = 0.001). While, no significant association were observed between consumption of full-fat dairy products (FFDP), olive oil, coffee intake and BC risk. Interestingly, daily 3 or more cups of tea intake were associated with 54% decreased risk of BC (OR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.22-0.98, p = 0.043). Conclusion: The study suggests that the risk of BC can be reduced by limiting the consumption of oil and sugar and increasing daily water intake more than a liter.
Prescription Opioid Exposures Among Children and Adolescents in the United States: 2000–2015
Authors: Allen Jakob D. , Casavant Marcel J. , Spiller Henry A. , Chounthirath Thiphalak , Hodges Nichole L. , Smith Gary A.
Published: March 2017

OBJECTIVES:

This study analyzes and compares exposures to prescription opioids among children and adolescents younger than 20 years old in the United States.

METHODS:

Data from the National Poison Data System for 2000 through 2015 were analyzed.

RESULTS:

Poison control centers received reports of 188 468 prescription opioid exposures among children aged <20 years old from 2000 through 2015. The annual number and rate of exposures increased early in the study period, but declined after 2009, except for buprenorphine exposures, which increased during the last 3 study years. Hydrocodone accounted for the largest proportion of exposures (28.7%), and 47.1% of children exposed to buprenorphine were admitted to a health care facility (HCF). The odds of being admitted to an HCF were higher for teenagers than for children aged 0 to 5 years (odds ratio [OR]: 2.86; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.78–2.94) or children aged 6 to 12 years (OR: 6.62; 95% CI: 6.06–7.02). Teenagers also had greater odds of serious medical outcomes than did children aged 0 to 5 years (OR: 3.03; 95% CI: 2.92–3.15) or children aged 6 to 12 years (OR: 4.59; 95% CI: 4.21–5.00). The rate of prescription opioid–related suspected suicides among teenagers increased by 52.7% during the study period.

CONCLUSIONS:

Prescription opioid–related HCF admissions and serious medical outcomes were higher among teenagers. Contrary to trends for other prescription opioids, exposures to buprenorphine have increased in recent years; children aged 0 to 5 years accounted for almost 90% of buprenorphine exposures. These findings indicate that additional prevention efforts are needed.

Os cuidados em saúde: ontologia, hermenêutica e teleologia
Authors: Contatore Octávio Augusto , Malfitano Ana Paula Serrata , Barros Nelson Filice de
Published: March 2017

O cuidado em saúde cresce como área de pesquisa e tem sido abordado por novos referenciais. Embora seja um dos atributos necessários à sobrevivência humana, não lhe foram direcionadas análises suficientes para a constituição de uma sociologia dos cuidados. O objetivo deste ensaio é mapear a produção de conhecimento sobre os cuidados, com o fim de desenvolver uma reflexão teórica sobre o tema. Observou-se na literatura: uma ontologia do cuidado biomédico, uma hermenêutica das diferentes abordagens do cuidado e o desafio teleológico do cuidado na contemporaneidade. Conclui-se que os cuidados de base técnico-científica pouco atendem as reais demandas das pessoas, apontando a necessidade de uma abordagem “sócio+lógica” emancipadora dos cuidados.

Authors: Serafim Lucas Almeida , Oliveira Adriana Carla Silva de , Hartel Jenna , Freire Gustavo Henrique de Araújo , Dias Guilherme Ataíde
Published: March 2017

Resumo Este artigo apresenta a participação de acadêmicos brasileiros da fase de coleta de dados do projeto de pesquisa internacional e colaborativo iSquare, sediado na Universidade de Toronto, Canadá. As origens e fundamentos teóricos do estudo são discutidos com doze países que investigaram as concepções visuais de informação de estudantes de pós-graduação, utilizando a técnica de pesquisa “desenhe e escreva” (draw-and-write). Este artigo representa uma inovação metodológica pelo uso de métodos visuais de arte-informada (arts-informed), os quais são raros na Ciência da Informação. A equipe do Brasil descobriu fatores socioculturais que influenciam as concepções visuais de informação dos estudantes, e esses podem ser comparados com outros iSquares de outras partes do mundo. Este artigo justifica a abordagem do iSquare como método investigativo e pedagógico, proporcionando a estudantes e educadores modos multimídia, divertidos e amplos de engajar o conceito de informação em sala de aula. Como exemplo de pesquisa visual de arte-informada, este artigo apresenta notáveis exemplos dos dados originais desenhados pelos participantes.

O Vazio de Sentido: Suporte da Religiosidade para Pacientes com Câncer Avançado
Authors: Reis Cristine Gabrielle da Costa dos , Farias Camila Peixoto , Quintana Alberto Manuel
Published: March 2017

Resumo Pacientes com câncer avançado, muitas vezes, deparam-se com um vazio de sentido, tanto por conta de movimentos externos, como o afastamento e falta de olhar da equipe, de amigos e familiares, quanto por dimensões subjetivas e singulares relacionadas à vivência da doença. Com isso, objetivou-se compreender quais os sentidos que os pacientes constroem para a vivência do adoecimento grave. Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, de cunho qualitativo, com 12 pacientes com câncer avançado, internados no serviço de Hematologia-Oncologia de um hospital-escola do interior do Rio Grande do Sul, com base em entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise de conteúdo. Verificou-se que os entrevistados buscaram construir um sentido para sua vivência, predominantemente por meio da religiosidade, que lhes ofereceu possibilidades de compreensão, suporte, conforto, sentimento de controle, entre outras construções de significação para a doença. Foi possível perceber que, por vezes, a religiosidade não se mostrou suporte suficiente para o trabalho de construção de significados para o adoecimento. Assim, pensa-se que a religiosidade é capaz de lhes trazer certas explicações e suportes diante do esvaziamento dos sentidos provocado pela doença, contudo, faz-se necessário que outras estratégias sejam construídas para auxiliar o paciente a lidar com as angústias frente à doença e à possibilidade de morte.
Depressão em Adolescentes: Revisão da Literatura e o Lugar da Pesquisa Fenomenológica
Authors: Melo Anna Karynne , Siebra Adolfo Jesiel , Moreira Virginia
Published: March 2017

Resumo Atualmente a depressão em adolescentes consiste em um fenômeno complexo e cada vez mais recorrente. Visando identificar e discutir os estudos que estão sendo produzidos sobre este tema, realizamos uma revisão de literatura com base em pesquisas indexadas nos bancos de dados SciELO; Portal de Periódicos da Capes; BDTD; APA; ScienceDirect; Redalyc; Lillacs e MedLine, mediante cruzamento das palavras-chave: depressão e adolescência; depressão em adolescentes; depression in adolescentes; depresión en adolescentes. Foram identificados 247 textos, sendo que, após apreciação baseando-se nos critérios de elegibilidade, restaram 159 estudos. Num primeiro momento, essas pesquisas foram organizadas quantitativamente e, a seguir, por uma análise qualitativa. Os estudos evidenciaram cinco categorias temáticas: sintomas depressivos; fatores associados à variabilidade sintomatológica; eventos estressores e fatores de risco; comorbidades associadas à depressão em adolescentes e depressão e suicídio em adolescentes. Os eixos abordados demonstram que ainda existe muito a discorrer sobre essa forma de adoecimento, em virtude dos múltiplos contornos que a constituem. Destacamos a escassez de trabalhos pautados em uma perspectiva fenomenológica, apesar do gradativo crescimento nos últimos anos. Sugere-se a fomentação, bem como a construção de novos espaços de discussão, no intuito de auxiliar os profissionais que estão envolvidos com essa temática em sua praxis.

Profissionais Paliativistas e suas Contribuições na Prevenção de Luto Complicado
Authors: Braz Mariana Sarkis , Franco Maria Helena Pereira
Published: March 2017

Resumo Os cuidados paliativos buscam qualidade de vida baseada principalmente na prevenção e alívio do sofrimento de pacientes que possuem doenças ameaçadoras de vida, englobando as esferas de ordem física, psicossocial e espiritual. Além disso, estende-se ao pós-morte do paciente, oferecendo suporte à família no processo de luto. Esta pesquisa qualitativa teve como objetivo compreender e analisar a formação dos profissionais em relação ao processo de morrer do paciente e as percepções daqueles em relação às suas contribuições para a prevenção de luto complicado da unidade de cuidado. A Teoria do Apego fundamentou teoricamente este estudo. Participaram voluntariamente profissionais de saúde que integram formalmente equipes de cuidados paliativos. Foi utilizado um questionário autoaplicativo para obtenção de dados acadêmicos, profissionais e de cursos realizados, e uma entrevista semiestruturada. A análise das informações colhidas nas entrevistas foi realizada através de transcrição e categorização das mesmas, seguida de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados confirmaram que a formação dos profissionais em relação ao processo de morrer é escassa. Ademais, observou-se que os profissionais de saúde que trabalham em cuidados paliativos possuem comportamentos de apego, os quais são identificados como naturais nesse contexto, o que acaba por dificultar a percepção de que são importantes contribuições para a prevenção de luto complicado da unidade de cuidado. Diante desses resultados, a presente pesquisa trouxe a relevância sobre a necessidade da inserção das temáticas morte e morrer na educação dos profissionais de saúde, o que pode contribuir para melhor assistência à unidade de cuidado nos seus processos de luto.
