Authors: Gâz-Florea Șerban Andrei , Mircia Eleonora , Berţa Lavinia
Published: April 2017

Objective: Development of new electronic devices with applications in computer science as well as new medical devices pushed the researcher to find new technologies. Based on those new techniques we have designed and synthesized compounds with possible application in the field of advanced materials. Material and method: Compounds were analyzed by TLC and NMR. Routine 1H NMR (250 MHz) spectra were recorded at room temperature in deuterated acetone, unless stated otherwise. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was carried out on aluminum sheets coated with silicagel 60 F254 Merck TLC plates. Results: Starting from commercial available compounds intermediates were obtained in a good yield. 4,4′-(2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diyl)diphenol was obtained starting from pentaerythritol and p-hydroxy-benzaldehyde in the presence of catalytic amounts of APTS (p-toluensulfonic acid). The product was purified by recrystallization and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The structure exhibit 2 different signals for equatorial and axial position. Furthermore di, tri and tetra ethylene glycol were obtained by microwave assisted synthesis in a matter of minutes. Compounds were separated by recrystallization. Conclusions: In conclusion, several intermediates were synthesized and characterized from spectroscopic point of view. Further analyses should be carried out and the compounds should be tested as advanced materials.

How does host ecology influence sampling effort in parasite diversity estimates? A case study using Neotropical freshwater fishes
Authors: Yamada Fábio Hideki , Takemoto Ricardo Massato
Published: April 2017

Accurately estimating biodiversity is fundamental to ecological understanding and prediction. Helminthes are often neglected in biodiversity estimates and when included are often underestimated. Here we examine how sampling effort affects estimates of parasite diversity in an assemblage of freshwater fish from a floodplain in Brazil. We also examine how ecological and behavioral factors influence the sampling effort necessary to accurately estimate the parasite diversity associated with a fish species. We use our dataset to suggest that host species with wide geographic distribution (i.e., long migrations), gregarious behavior (i.e., shoal), larger body size, higher population density, wide diet breadth (i.e., omnivorous), and autochthonous origin, increase the effort necessary to estimate the total diversity of parasites. However, estimating this parasitic fauna has several restrictions and limitations, due to the highly complex of the floodplain ecosystems, with non-linear and non-random responses.

Published: April 2017

A new invisible nanolevel coating has been developed based on the sol-gel process for veneer finishes. The sol synthesis and its application as a protective agent is described. It could be demonstrated that a combination of organic light stabilizers and sol-gel deposits is feasible and that the resulting hybrid inorganic-organic thin films decrease moisture uptake of hardwood veneers.
Becoming multilingual: The macro and the micro time perspective
Authors: Hammarberg Björn
Published: April 2017

Potential multilingualism is a characteristic property of human language. This paper adopts a usage-based, complex-systems approach in discussing two different but interrelated perspectives on how multilingualism takes shape in individuals: the development of a linguistic repertoire over time (macro time perspective) and the processes of language use and acquisition in specific situations (micro time perspective). The concept of L3 has a role at the micro time level, in the situations of language use. A variable model of the situation of language use and acquisition in micro time is proposed. It adopts a factor approach which is inspired by Hufeisen’s Factor Model, but extends that model so as to be applicable to more variable stages and forms of linguistic repertoires. The connection between dynamic processes in micro and macro time is illustrated by data from a longitudinal test of phonological production which exposes both specific usage events and an evolving pattern.
Ensouling the Beatific Vision. Motivating the Reformed Impulse
Authors: Farris Joshua R. , Brandt Ryan A.
Published: April 2017

The beatific vision is a subject of considerable importance both in the Christian Scriptures and in the history of Christian dogmatics. In it, humans experience and see the perfect immaterial God, which represents the final end for the saints. However, this doctrine has received less attention in the contemporary theological literature, arguably, due in part to the growing trend toward materialism and the sole emphasis on bodily resurrection in Reformed eschatology. As a piece of retrieval by drawing from the Scriptures, Medieval Christianity, and Reformed Christianity, we motivate a case for the Reformed emphasis on the immaterial and intellectual aspects of human personal eschatology and offer some constructive thoughts on how to link it to the contemporary emphasis of the body. We draw a link between the soul and the body in the vision with the help of Christology as reflected in the theology of John Calvin, and, to a greater extent, the theology of both John Owen and Jonathan Edwards.
Politeness shifts in English-Greek political science discourse: translation as a language change situation
Authors: Sidiropoulou Maria
Published: April 2017

Translation practice is a code interaction situation (Schäffner and Adab 1997; Cronin 2003; Heine and Kuteva 2005; House 2006), which can bring about change in target linguistic systems through the cumulative effect of hegemonic donor languages on reception ones.

The study traces development of politeness-related features in English-Greek samples of translated political science discourse. A pilot study first identifies a set of shift types between the English and Greek versions of John Stuart Mill’s essay

Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) are found in 3-6 out of 1.000 of the newborns, or according to some statistics they are represented in 0.5% of all pregnancies. Congenital abnormalities of the kidneys and urinary tract present a family of diseases of various anatomic spectrum, including renal anomalies, and anomalies of the bladder and urethra. The study was retrospective-prospective which means that it included newly diagnosed patients suffering from CAKUT, as well as those patients with already diagnosed and well defined CAKUT on the basis of imaging studies which have been processed according to the protocol for this study.
Conceptualizing cultural discrepancies in legal translation: A case-based study
Authors: Cheng Le , Gong Mingyu , Li Jian
Published: April 2017

By exploring the cultural discrepancies in Chinese legal texts and their English versions and to what extent legal and cultural discrepancies influence and constrain legal translation, the study argues that it is useful to consider cultural discrepancies within a semiotic framework. Language is a phenomenon and factor that links different cultures; the use of language is crucial to any legal system. Law, as a cultural product, is attended by cultural discrepancies when switched into other languages for the purpose of achieving equivalence. After a brief overview of cultural differences in translation, legal translation in particular, the study is set to examine the role of translation in crossing through different legal cultures and backgrounds and investigate barriers in the process of translation. Investigating cultural discrepancies in legal translation within a semiotic framework allows us to focus on certain interpretations by acknowledging that legal texts are composed with systems of systems and interacting with other cultural aspects in a wider context.

Thomas, C, Ismail, KT, Simpson, R, Comfort, P, Jones, PA, and Dos'Santos, T. Physical profiles of female academy netball players by position. J Strength Cond Res 33(6): 1602–1609, 2019—The purpose of this study was to evaluate the height, body mass, and physical characteristics of female academy netball players by position (centers, defenders, and shooters). Data were collected on 43 regional academy players during the preseason period and comprising height, body mass, and physical characteristics (single-leg hop [SLH], squat jump [SJ], countermovement jump [CMJ], 5- and 10-m sprint, 505 change of direction speed and cardiorespiratory fitness). Defenders and shooters demonstrated significantly (p ≤ 0.05; d ≥ 1.1) greater body mass compared with centers. Defenders demonstrated significantly (p ≤ 0.05; d = 1.6) greater height compared with centers; however, no significant differences were noted between centers and shooters (p = 0.19; d = 0.7) and defenders and shooters (p = 0.70; d = 0.5). Centers performed better during the SLH left leg (p = 0.01; d = 1.0), SJ (p = 0.03; d = 1.1), CMJ (p = 0.01; d = 1.4), 5-m (p = 0.04; d ≥ −0.9) and 10-m sprint (p = 0.01; d = −1.2), 505 left (p ≤ 0.03; d ≥ 1.0), 505 right (p ≤ 0.03; d = 1.3), and cardiorespiratory fitness (p = 0.01; d ≥ 1.2) compared with other positions. No other significant differences were observed. These findings demonstrate that height, body mass, and physical characteristics differ between positions in female netball players and provide normative data for English academy netball players. Strength and conditioning coaches should consider the specific demands on individual positions when training female netball players.
Expert Listening beyond the Limits of Hearing: Music and Deafness
Authors: Holmes Jessica A.
Published: April 2017

Attitudes to the relationship between music and deafness suffer from two related misconceptions: the enduring assumption that hearing is central to musical experience in conjunction with an extreme impression of deafness as total aural loss; and, more recently, the tendency to reduce deaf listening to tactility, as narratives about inborn sensory acuities among the deaf proliferate in the popular imaginary. Increasingly, deafness symbolizes a set of sensory polarities that obscure an intrinsic diversity of musical experiences from which musicology stands to gain, a diversity that encompasses members of Deaf culture and non-culturally deaf people alike, and that is signaled through the person-centered compound “d/Deaf.” My article builds on recent music scholarship on disability to offer a pluralistic understanding of music and deafness. Beginning with Scottish deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie, I investigate a range of d/Deaf accounts of music, including those of Deaf sign language users, hearing aid wearers, and cochlear implant recipients, and of people with music-induced hearing loss. Deafness resists automatic entry points into music, unsettling any straightforward hierarchy of the senses. Deaf people reflect on the musical status of aurality in markedly different ways, just as they offer a complex understanding of vision and touch. For instance, vision is a highly versatile listening strategy and is often more reliable than vibration; touch is feasible because of its contextual dependence on visual cues, and is further tied to a set of material and environmental variables. Ultimately, I argue that d/Deaf listeners enrich customary notions of musical expertise: deafness belongs in musicology as a diverse set of experiences within the full spectrum of listening.
The clinical value of regular thyroid function tests during amiodarone treatment
Authors: Benjamens Stan , Dullaart Robin P F , Sluiter Wim J , Rienstra Michiel , van Gelder Isabelle C , Links Thera P
Published: April 2017

Objective

Amiodarone is used for the maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with arrhythmias, but thyroid dysfunction (amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) or amiodarone-induced hypothyroidism (AIH)) is a common adverse effect. As the onset of AIT and AIH may be unpredictable, the value of long-term regular monitoring of amiodarone treated patients for thyroid dysfunction is still uncertain.

Design

We retrospectively documented the frequency at which overt thyroid dysfunction was preceded by subclinical thyroid dysfunction.

Methods

We included 303 patients treated with amiodarone between 1984 and 2007. AIT was defined as a lowered TSH level with an elevated free thyroxine (FT4) and AIH was defined as an elevated TSH level with a decreased or subnormal FT4. Subclinical AIT was defined as a lowered TSH level with a normal FT4 and subclinical AIH as an elevated TSH level with a normal FT4.

Results

200 men and 103 women, aged 62 ± 12.0 years, suffering from atrial (260) or ventricular (43) arrhythmias, were evaluated. During a median follow-up of 2.8 (1.0–25) years, 44 patients developed AIT and 33 AIH. In 42 (55%) patients who developed AIT/AIH, earlier thyroid function tests showed no subclinical AIT or subclinical AIH. In 35 (45%) patients, AIT/AIH was preceded by subclinical AIT or subclinical AIH (16/44 for AIT and 19/33 for AIH).

Conclusions

In a considerable proportion of patients who developed AIT/AIH, earlier thyroid function tests showed no subclinical AIT/AIH. Less than half of the patients with a subclinical event subsequently developed overt AIT/AIH. This study provides data to reconsider the yield of regular testing of thyroid function to predict overt thyroid dysfunction in amiodarone treated patients.

The article contains results of research on the study the dynamics of microbiological changes in frosted and chilled beef during storage. It is established that observance of all veterinary and sanitary requirements in the procurement of beef in slaughter departments, microbiological indicators of meat meets the standards of the EU Regulation №2073/2005. In 8 days of storage at a temperature of 0 °C the total number of microorganisms on the surface of the half carcasses increased in 16.6 times, and after 16 days – 3 350 times and exceeded the permissible level according to standards 1.3 times and 258 times respectively. In 8 days of storage of beef number of Enterobacteriaceae on the surface of half carcasses grew in 87 times and meet the established standards to 316.22 CFU/cm2 of surface or to 3162,2 CFU/cm3 of flushing. Storage of meat up to 16 days at a temperature of 0 °C leads to increase the amount of Enterobacteriaceae into thousands of times, which exceeded the permissible level of bacteria according to EU regulations. It is also established the growth in beef the number of psycho traffic microorganisms in 350 times after 8 days of storage and in 52 thousand times in 16 days. By comparing the number of psycho traffic microorganisms with the the number of MAFAnM during storage of beef it was determined that psycho traffic microorganisms on the surface of the cooled meat was 12.4 times less, compared to the number of MAFAnM, but due to the faster rate of reproduction at this temperature their number on the eighth day of storage was already 1.7 times higher. Psycho traffic microorganisms of chilled meat for its storage were dominant microflora, which indicates its primary role in the occurrence of microbiological defects of meat. It was found that the temperature storage mode of chilled meat 0 ± 0,5 °C is not suitable for bacterial growth of genus Enterococcus and they gradually die. Established that storage of meat in frosted condition inhibits or completely stop the development of mesophilic microorganisms within 20 days. It is revealed the growth of bacteria of genus Enterobacteriaceae within 10 days at 2.3 times, and over the next 10 days of storage – in 4.1 times. However, the total number of 1 cm3 of flushing from the the surface of the meat does not exceed 300 CFU. Number of psycho traffic microorganisms that are able to withstand low temperatures and survive and multiply under these conditions was increasing on the surface of beef half carcasses on storage temperature -2– -3 ° C. Their numbers grew after 10 days in 4.5 times, and in furthering the next 10 days, ie 20 days – in 7.9 times and amounted to 2.2·105 cfu/cm3 of flushing from the surface. Despite the fact that the meat corresponds the standards for the number of MAFAnM, the development of psycho traffic microorganisms in frosted meat requires constant monitoring of the quality evaluation of beef.

RESUMO O artigo debate a constituição transatlântica de conjugalidades e mobilidades no quadro do encontro e aproximação passional de turistas europeus e mulheres brasileiras no bairro de Ponta Negra, principal destino turístico internacional da cidade de Natal, no Nordeste brasileiro. A análise assume dois propósitos centrais: (i) perceber como alguns dos vínculos de intimidade iniciados no contexto do turismo de massas vão sendo mantidos à distância e consolidados como projetos de casal depois do regresso dos turistas à Europa; (ii) compreender as estratégias de gestão da mobilidade e residência que a manutenção desses vínculos e o seu aprofundamento no sentido da aliança pressupõem. A partir de um trabalho de campo etnográfico itinerante e multissituado, realizado nas duas margens atlânticas, os dados empíricos que sustentam a análise mostram que as conjugalidades e as mobilidades euro-brasileiras aqui consideradas estão intrinsecamente associadas a vinculações distendidas e flexíveis de intimidade, residência e, inclusive, de cidadania.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of orchard fertilization with increasing rates of phosphorus (P) on yield and critical levels of P in the soil and in the leaf of ‘Fuji’ apple trees. The experiment was conducted in São Joaquim, state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, from 2010 to 2015, in an Inceptisol soil. The three apple orchards were planted in 2004 with the Fuji cultivar grafted on Marubakaido/ M9 rootstock and grown under a high-plant-density system (1984 trees ha-1). Annual fertilizer levels of 0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg ha-1 of P2O5 (as triple superphosphate) were applied to the soil surface, without incorporation, in a randomized block design with five replicates. In the first and last years (2011 and 2015), soil samples were collected from 0-10, 10-20 and 0-20 cm layers and the available P content was analyzed. Annually, whole leaves were collected and analyzed for P content. The number and weight of fruits per tree and hfruit yield were also evaluated. Application of P increased the content of available P in the soil, but this increase was not accompanied by increased leaf P content nor by increased fruit yield. This suggests that, in soils with medium to high content of organic matter and well fertilized with P before planting, there is no response of apple trees for P reapplication in the 10 subsequent years.
QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF EXPERIMENTAL BONE REGENERATION USING INDENTATION TESTS
Authors: Vidotto Valéria Trombini , Batista Nilza Alzira , Mariolani José Ricardo Lenzi , Belangero William Dias
Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT Objectives: To determine whether the macroindentation test can be applied to quantitatively assess bone regeneration. Methods: A 3.2 mm diameter transverse monocortical defect was created on the medial aspect of both proximal metaphyses of the tibia of male Unib-WH rats. For the macroindentation tests, we used 5.00 mm diameter indenters with a 3.2 mm tip. Defect testing was performed 1 to 12 weeks following the surgical procedures to compare the hardness of the newly developed tissue over the 12-week study period. Additional histological, morphological and physical/chemical data were obtained by optical and electronic microscopy, Raman, and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS). Results: The mean indentation forces increased in a time-dependent manner from 4 to 12 weeks (p<0.001). Tests performed with the 5.0 mm diameter tip were not able to measure the indentation forces in the first week after the procedure. Moreover, in the second postoperative week indentation forces and the newly formed tissue within the spinal canal were greater than those measured in the fourth and eighth weeks. Conclusions: The macroindentation test can be used to quantitatively assess bone regeneration in experimental studies. The choice of indenter tip diameter should consider the study design.

Published: April 2017

Resumo Pretende-se compreender e caracterizar a associação entre o Estatuto Socioeconômico (ESE) e o bem-estar subjetivo em crianças e adolescentes e ainda entender a influência que fatores pessoais e sociais podem ter nela. Os dados foram recolhidos em 16 escolas, uma metade no Norte e outra na Região de Lisboa, Portugal. A amostra envolve 1.181 estudantes, 51,5% do gênero feminino, cuja idade varia entre 8 e 17 anos, com média de 9,9 anos (DP = 1,42). Dos alunos, 2,6% têm necessidades educativas especiais, enquanto que 3% não utilizam o idioma português em casa. Foram retidos por pelo menos um ano 12, 2%. Quanto ao ESE, 27,1% o têm alto, 64,2% médio/baixo, enquanto que 8, 7% estão desempregados. Foram construídos três modelos de regressão adequados. O Modelo 1 estabelece uma associação entre a ESE e o bem-estar subjetivo. Esta associação tornou-se não significativa com o efeito de fatores pessoais e sociais, que foram fortemente associados com o bem-estar subjetivo. Verifica-se que o impacto do ESE no bem-estar subjetivo é atenuado pela presença de fatores pessoais e sociais. A promoção de competências pessoais e sociais parece ser uma forma de prevenção dos efeitos negativos do ESE baixo no desenvolvimento das crianças e adolescentes.

A margem de erro da pesquisa ponderada regional e nacionalmente foi 2,8%. O estudo foi aprovado pelo CEP da Faculdade de Medicina da UnB e teve apoio da OPAS e do Ministério da Saúde. Escala com 35 questões (-35 a +35 pontos) de conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas em DSTs/Hiv Aids e Hepatites Virais foi utilizada como variável dependente. Modelos de regressão linear ajustados identificaram fatores demográficos e determinantes sociais que explicam a variação na escala. A escala atingiu nível satisfatório de consistência (Alfa Cronbach: 0,689). Fatores sociodemográficos associados à variação na escala foram: gênero, etnia, escolaridade e estado civil. Determinantes sociais associadas à variação na escala foram: hábito de conversar sobre sexualidade com pais e profissionais de saúde, consumo de álcool, ter lazer e ser engajado, acesso à internet, interesse em aprender e ter pai e/ou professor como referência pessoal. Os jovens brasileiros estão vulneráveis à transmissão de DSTs/Hiv Aids. São necessárias políticas públicas que promovam engajamento dos pais e professores em assuntos sobre sexualidade.
Região de saúde e suas redes de atenção: modelo organizativo-sistêmico do SUS
Authors: Santos Lenir
Published: April 2017

Resumo O presente trabalho tem por finalidade desenvolver estudos a respeito do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) em seu formato sistêmico que resulta da integração das ações e serviços públicos de saúde, em rede regionalizada e hierarquizada. É dessa integração que nasce o SUS e assim ele deve ser organizado. Pretende-se demonstrar que essa forma organizativa é essencial pelo fato de o país ser uma Federação e a competência para cuidar da saúde ser dos três entes federativos, de forma igual vista a saúde lato senso. Sendo as ações e os serviços de saúde um conjunto complexo de atos sanitários que se interligam em razão de a saúde da pessoa ser um conceito global que não permite fracionamento, os serviços devem seguir essa lógica e assim serem organizados. Por isso, os serviços de saúde devem se organizar sistemicamente para atender a todos de modo igual, independentemente de onde reside o cidadão. Essa organização sistêmica exige permanente interação entre os entes federativos para discutir a operacionalização das referências de serviços, seu financiamento e demais aspectos sanitários e administrativos. São esses aspectos essenciais que tornam o SUS complexo e exige que seja organizado de modo regionalizado, em rede de serviços de atenção à saúde.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate Fusarium guttiforme inoculation methods and genetic resistance of pineapple accessions. Thus, three experiments were conducted: pathogen inoculation of different leaf types (B, D and F) of pineapple (1), pathogen inoculation of pineapple cuttings and detached D leaves (2), and identification of resistance to fusariosis in 19 pineapple accessions (3) sampled in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The cultivars Pérola (susceptible to fusariosis) and BRS-Vitória (resistant to fusariosis) were used as controls. The fusariosis severity was evaluated at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 days after inoculation with F. guttiforme. The lesion diameters (severity level) were used in order to calculate the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC). The inoculation of detached D leaves was the most efficient, fast and inexpensive method, and the one that most satisfactorily reproduced the disease symptoms. The period of 10 to 20 days after inoculation of the D detached leaves with the pathogen is the most suitable to evaluate the resistance of pineapple accessions to fusariosis. The lowest lesion area and AUDPC was found in the accession 1, in all evaluations. Thus, the accession 1 can be used in pineapple breeding programs for resistance to fusariosis.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT In arid and semi-arid regions, the quality of irrigation water varies in geographic terms and during the year, and the occurrence of water with high concentrations of salts is common. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the emergence, growth and production of sesame, cultivar CNPA G3, irrigated with saline water and fertilized with N of different carrier proportions by the ratio of nitrate and ammonium ( NO --N and NH +-N) in an experiment conducted in lysimeters arranged in a greenhouse in the municipality of Campina Grande-PB, Brazil. The treatments were distributed into randomized blocks using a 5 × 5 factorial scheme relative to levels of irrigation water salinity (ECw; 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4 and 3.0 dS m-1) and five proportions of NO3 -N/NH4 -N (200/0; 150/50; 100/100; 50/150 and 0/200 mg of N kg-1), with three replicates. The increase in ECw compromised the emergence, growth and production of sesame, cultivar CNPA G3, and the production components were the most sensitive variables. The highest growth in diameter was obtained with the proportion of 200/0 mg kg -1 of NO3 -N/NH4 -N. An ECw level of 3.0 dS m and fertilization with 0/200 mg kg of NO3 -N/NH4 -N promoted deleterious effects on the total mass of sesame fruits and mass of seeds.

ABSTRACT Pastas are generally accepted all over the world, mainly because they are versatile, cheap and easy-to-prepare. They are not nutritionally balanced, since they provide mainly carbohydrates. As a result of this, it is important to use ingredients which could improve the nutritional deficiencies, without affecting the technological and sensorial characteristics. This study evaluated the effect of using wheat semolina and micronized corn pericarp (MCP), on the proximate composition, cooking quality and color of spaghetti type pasta. Spaghetti pasta was produced using wheat semolina with the incorporation of micronized corn pericarp, at levels of 0, 10, 20 and 30%. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the formulated samples with regards to the contents of moisture and lipid, cooking time, weight gain and volume increase. As observed, supplementation with micronized corn pericarp presented significant difference on the contents of proteins, minerals, dietary fiber and solid soluble loss of the spaghetti pasta (p < 0.05). With increase in micronized corn pericarp concentration, the color difference became accentuated. The use of MCP appears to be viable, providing a nutritionally enriched product without further impairment on pasta quality.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Maxillary transverse deficiency is a highly prevalent malocclusion present in all age groups, from primary to permanent dentition. If not treated on time, it can aggravate and evolve to a more complex malocclusion, hindering facial growth and development. Aside from the occlusal consequences, the deficiency can bring about serious respiratory problems as well, due to the consequent nasal constriction usually associated. In growing patients, this condition can be easily handled with a conventional rapid palatal expansion. However, mature patients are frequently subjected to a more invasive procedure, the surgically-assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE). More recently, researches have demonstrated that it is possible to expand the maxilla in grown patients without performing osteotomies, but using microimplants anchorage instead. This novel technique is called microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE). Objective: The aim of the present article was to demonstrate and discuss a MARPE technique developed by Dr. Won Moon and colleagues at University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA). Methods: All laboratory and clinical steps needed for its correct execution are thoroughly described. For better comprehension, a mature patient case is reported, detailing all the treatment progress and results obtained. Conclusion: It was concluded that the demonstrated technique could be an interesting alternative to SARPE in the majority of non-growing patients with maxillary transverse deficiency. The present patient showed important occlusal and respiratory benefits following the procedure, without requiring any surgical intervention.

ABSTRACT Artificial lakes play an important role in water availability in tropical semi-arid Northeastern Brazil. However, in addition to the negative effects that dams have on the water quality of rivers, other practices such as discharge of untreated wastewater, intensive crop fertilization and fish farming have been contributing to water quality deterioration. Climate change may be another driver of water quality decrease. Increases in precipitation and drought intensities as well as temperature increase may redefine the dynamics of planktonic communities and favour species more adapted to the new environment. Water samples were collected in two reservoirs selected based on the recurrence of positive results for saxitoxins, Acarape do Meio (AM) and Sitios Novos (SN). In general, diversity in SN (1.08) was higher than in the AM (0.60). Phytoplankton dynamics in these reservoirs differ from other reservoirs in the same region of Brazil, in the sense that filamentous cyanobacteria are dominant. Furthermore, lower diversity, concentration and richness of chlorophyceae and bacillariophyceae were found in both reservoirs. Increase in diversity was observed during the intense rainy season of 2011, suggesting a slight improvement of water quality. A close inverse correlation between Cylindrospermopsis sp and other cyanobacteria was found in SN (R2= –0.862) and in AM (R2= –0.997) and the data collected demonstrates that a season with intensive rainfall may lead to lower cyanobacteria concentrations probably due to water dilution and higher flushing rates.
Usos de referências biológicas em publicações de Saúde Mental Global

Published: April 2017

Resumo Desde sua emergência em 2007, o campo da Saúde Mental Global se depara com críticas que costumam advir das Ciências Sociais e Psiquiatria Transcultural. Um ponto criticado, que se supõe caracterizar o campo, é sua tendência a se pautar em explicações biológicas para problemas de saúde mental, que teriam assim quaisquer outras dimensões relegadas a segundo plano. A fim de analisar o quanto o movimento do Global Mental Health se baseia em explicações biológicas de transtornos mentais, no período de 2014 foi realizada uma pesquisa cruzando expressões ligadas à biologia e a de “global mental health” na base de dados PubMed, além de publicações mais recentes associadas ao movimento. No presente artigo, são apresentadas as conclusões sobre a incorporação de referências biológicas em textos recentes associados ao campo da Saúde Mental Global. Embora haja poucos textos com referências diretas à biologia, nota-se que elas parecem ocorrer para justificar a necessidade de políticas de saúde mental.

ABSTRACT In the last few years, new primary immunodeficiencies and genetic defects have been described. Recently, immunoglobulin products with improved compositions and for subcutaneous use have become available in Brazil. In order to guide physicians on the use of human immunoglobulin to treat primary immunodeficiencies, based on a narrative literature review and their professional experience, the members of the Primary Immunodeficiency Group of the Brazilian Society of Allergy and Immunology prepared an updated document of the 1st Brazilian Consensus, published in 2010. The document presents new knowledge about the indications and efficacy of immunoglobulin therapy in primary immunodeficiencies, relevant production-related aspects, mode of use (routes of administration, pharmacokinetics, doses and intervals), adverse events (major, prevention, treatment and reporting), patient monitoring, presentations available and how to have access to this therapeutic resource in Brazil.

ABSTRACT Jawbone reconstruction after tumor resection is one of the most challenging clinical tasks for maxillofacial surgeons. Osteogenic, osteoinductive, osteoconductive and non-antigenic properties of autogenous bone place this bone as the gold standard for solving problems of bone availability. However, the need for a second surgical site to harvest the bone graft increases significantly both the cost and the morbidity associated with the reconstructive procedures. Bone grafting gained an important tool with the discovery of bone morphogenetic proteins in 1960. Benefit of obtaining functional and real bone matrix without need of second surgical site seems to be the great advantage of use bone morphogenetic proteins. This study analyzed the use of rhBMP-2 in unicystic ameloblastoma of the mandible, detailing its structure, mechanisms of cell signaling and biological efficacy, in addition to present possible advantages and disadvantages of clinical use of rhBMP-2 as bone regeneration strategy.

Experimental investigation of evolving anisotropy in unsaturated soils
Authors: Al-Sharrad M. A. , Gallipoli D. , Wheeler S. J.
Published: April 2017

This paper investigates the ‘initial’ and ‘evolving’ mechanical anisotropy of a compacted unsaturated soil. A wide campaign of triaxial compression and extension tests, involving different stress and suction paths, has been performed on both isotropically and anisotropically compacted samples of unsaturated Speswhite kaolin. The first objective is the definition of the initial yield surface of the compacted soil after suction equalisation and before any plastic loading/wetting path takes place. This is followed by the investigation of the evolution of the yield surface induced by plastic straining along different loading/wetting paths. Experimental results are interpreted by using two alternative stress variables, namely net stresses [Formula: see text] and Bishop's stress [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] is Kronecker delta, Sr is the degree of saturation and s is suction). Constant suction cross-sections of the yield surface are represented as distorted ellipses not passing through the origin in the q:p plane of deviator stress plotted against mean net stress, and by distorted ellipses passing through the origin in the q:p* plane of deviator stress plotted against mean Bishop's stress. The inclination of these distorted elliptical yield curves evolves with plastic straining but remains the same at all suction levels for a given level of plastic deformation. The critical state lines in the planes q:p and q:p*, or in the semi-logarithmic v:lnp and v:lnp* planes (v is the specific volume), are generally independent of initial anisotropy or stress history, suggesting that fabric memory tends to be erased at critical state.
Upper-bound solutions for face stability of circular tunnels in undrained clays

Published: April 2017

The aim of this paper is to determine the critical supporting pressure on the circular face of an advancing tunnel in undrained clay in which undrained strength increases linearly with depth. Based on the kinematic approach of limit analysis, a continuous velocity field with a toric envelope is adopted to yield upper bounds of the face pressure for both collapse and blow-out. Combining with a closed-form expression describing the overall velocity field, an optimisation procedure is carried out to find the lowest upper-bound solutions. The calculated results are presented in terms of a dimensionless coefficient N (called the stability number) and then stability charts for use are produced. Alternatively, an approximation formula is given to estimate easily the collapse and blow-out pressure in practice.

Published: April 2017

This study assessed the effects of delivery application quality on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude and behavioral intention. A total of 300 samples were collected using a google online survey from October 28th, 2016 to November 8th, 2016. The results were as follows. First, off-line quality of delivery application had a significantly positive effect on perceived ease of use and the on-line quality of delivery application had a significantly positive effect on perceived usefulness. Second, perceived usefulness is more important than perceived ease of use. Third, the attitude had a significantly positive effect on the behavioral intention. The suggestion of this study is that perceived usefulness is the key factor to improving a customer's attitude to the delivery application and this should be considered when developing and managing the delivery application.
