Tranversalización de la Perspectiva de Género: Una mirada crítica a los programas de estudio de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales. ¿Cuánto hemos avanzado?
Authors: Arias-Cascante Nalda , Bustos-Vásquez Ana Lucía , Víquez-Rojas Celia
Published: November 2016

Recibido: 02/10/2014 Aceptado: 27/06/2016Este trabajo se corresponde con el proyecto: “Análisis de Transversalización de Género en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales”. Nuestro objetivo se focaliza en indagar ¿cómo se ha transversalizado la perspectiva de género en las carreras de la Facultad C.S.? Esta propuesta acoge como fundamento político-institucional la normativa de la Universidad Nacional, que apuesta por la inclusión del género y la equidad como ejes transversales para asumirse en los ámbitos del quehacer universitario. Como fundamento teórico-metodológico se presenta una investigación desde unas miradas de mujeres académicas en la academia, atendiendo al análisis de dos dimensiones: (1) género como eje transversal y (2) como visibilización de mujeres en la academia. Las evidencias dilucidan limitaciones con respecto a la transversalización en términos efectivos. Se sigue proyectando roles estereotipados en la docencia, y profesionalización segregada por sexo. Esto es un reto que debe asumir la academia para responder a las dinámicas de desigualdad por las que aún transitan las mujeres universitarias.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the impact of prenatal maternal iron deficiency (ID) on cord blood serum ferritin (CBSF) concentration and infant cognitive and motor development.

METHODS:

Our prospective cohort study included 636 mother-singleton child pairs from 828 eligible pregnant women who were enrolled during their first antenatal care (ANC) visit in Allada, Benin, into a clinical trial comparing the efficacy of mefloquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine. Venous blood samples of women were assessed for ferritin and hemoglobin concentrations at the first and second ANC visits (occurring at least 1-month apart) and at delivery. Women were prescribed daily iron and folic acid supplements throughout pregnancy. Hematologic examinations were repeated for cord blood at birth. At age 1 year, cognitive and motor functions of children were assessed by using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning.

RESULTS:

The prevalence of prenatal ID at first and second ANC visits, and at delivery was 30.5%, 34.0%, and 28.4%, respectively. CBSF concentrations were similar between ID and non-ID pregnant women. Neither prenatal ID nor CBSF concentration was associated with poor cognitive or gross motor function of children at age 1 year. CBSF concentrations were lower among mothers who had ID anemia (IDA) at delivery compared with non-IDA pregnant women (adjusted mean difference: –0.2 [95% confidence interval: –0.4 to –0.0]).

CONCLUSIONS:

In a malaria-endemic region, ID in pregnancy in the context of iron supplementation is neither associated with CBSF concentration nor with infant cognitive and motor development. Prenatal IDA around the time of delivery is associated with lower CBSF concentrations.
Familial Congenital Facial Synkinesis Due to 12q Duplication: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Myers Kenneth Alexis , Innes Allan Micheil , Mah Jean Kit-Wah
Published: November 2016

Inverse Marcus Gunn phenomenon is a rare form of congenital facial synkinesis in which jaw movement temporarily elicits ptosis, either unilateral or bilateral. This phenomenon is presumed to result from dysinnervation of facial muscles during development of the nervous system. We describe 2 brothers, both with inverse Marcus Gunn phenomenon in the context of multiple other congenital anomalies, all presumed secondary to a chromosomal abnormality involving 12q duplication and 1p36 deletion. Although a handful of familial cases of congenital facial synkinesis have been previously described, this is the first in which a genetic abnormality has been identified. Of the 4 genetic abnormalities previously described in association with congenital facial synkinesis (based on isolated case reports), 1 also involved duplication at the long arm of chromosome 12. We conclude that duplication of ≥1 of the roughly 44 protein-coding genes in the ∼6.3-Mb overlap region between the previously published case and our 2 patients is a likely genetic cause of congenital facial synkinesis.

Authors: Barrozo Yan De Lima , Da Silveira Virgínia Régia Souza , Martins Ricardo Souza , Carvalho Rosimary Sousa , Moreira Maria Mônica Studart Mendes
Published: November 2016

Objective: Based on a review of the literature, we evaluated the clinical effect of the combination of enamel matrix derivative proteins (EMDP) and coronally advanced flap (CAF) surgery in the treatment of gingival recession (GR).Methods: Information was retrieved from the electronic databases PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo, Medline and the Cochrane Library. Controlled, randomized clinical studies of intervention in humans published in English or Spanish between 2000 and 2013 were eligible.Results: The initial sample consisted of 171 publications. Of these, eight were selected which compared CAF+EMDP (study) with CAF alone (control) in the treatment of GR. Invariably, RH decreased in both the study group and the control group. Likewise, GR width and probing depth decreased and the clinical attachment level increased in both groups, but results were significantly better in the study group. Conclusion: Despite the absence of an overall significant difference between treatment with CAF + EMDP and CAF alone, the addition of EMDP appears to increase the likelihood of achieving complete root coverage and clinically and aesthetically satisfactory results.
Conservative treatment of enamel hypomineralization: microabrasion and bleaching for re-estabilishing esthetics
Authors: Da Cunha Leonardo Fernandes , De Souza Juliana Feltrin , Baechtold Marina Samara , Correr Gisele Maria , Nescimento Bruna Luiza , Gonzaga Carla Castiglia
Published: November 2016

Objective: Dental hypomineralization such as dental fluorosis has increased in recent times, which leads to unaesthetic appearance of teeth visible at close quarters. There are different treatment possibilities to improve the aesthetic appearance of hypomineralized enamel described in dental literature. The enamel microabrasion has been a feasible alternative, since it is a fast, safe, conservative, and easy to perform, which promotes good esthetic results.  oreover, this technique is a conservative method that improves the appearance of the teeth without causing significant structural loss. The association of different techniques, such as dental bleaching, can provide good esthetic outcomes, but the etiology, intensity and depth of stain should be considered. Thus, the aim of this article is to describe an easy technique for managing mild to moderate dental fluorosis using microabrasion in association with dental bleaching.Case Report: First, application of the microabrasion material on the enamel surface was performed with 6% hydrochloric acid and silicon carbide and then with 37% phosphoric acid and pumice paste. Subsequently, dental bleaching employing 10% carbamide peroxide gel was indicated.Conclusion: This conservative approach may be considered an interesting alternative treatment to remove fluorosis staining and to improve aesthetic appearance.

Published: November 2016

Williams syndrome (WS) is a multisystem, congenital and panethnic disorder characterized by developmental and physical abnormalities. Developmental abnormalities in dentition are frequently observed in various patients with craniofacial syndromes, however there are a few reports regarding dental management in patients with WS. The aim of the present report is to describe the case of a 6-year-old child with characteristic facial features of WS with remarkable orofacial findings and the ensuing dental management. An intraoral examination revealed a mixed dentition period, with tooth agenesis and caries requiring treatment such as extraction, restoration and fluoride application. The dental treatment was carried out under local anesthesia and was completed successfully. Since then clinical and radiographic evaluations have been conducted periodically.
Inventory of the ichthyofauna from the Jordão and Areia river basins (Iguaçu drainage, Brazil) reveals greater sharing of species than thought
Authors: Frota Augusto , Gonçalves Eduardo Vieira Real , Deprá Gabriel De Carvalho , Da Graça Weferson Júnio
Published: November 2016

Recent sampling on fish from the headwaters of the Jordão and Areia rivers, combined with collection databases and specialized literature reports, yielded the first species inventory. Both basins reflect the high endemism rate associated with the Iguaçu River. However, four species previously thought to be restricted to the Jordão River basin are now known to also occur in the basin of the Areia River: Astyanax jordanensis Vera Alcaraz, Pavanelli & Bertaco, 2009; Characidiumtravassosi Melo, Buckup & Oyakawa, 2016; Jenynsia diphyes Lucinda, Ghedotti & Graça, 2006; and Trichomycterus igobi Wosiacki & de Pinna, 2008. This suggests an ancestral connection between the tributaries of the Jordão and Areia rivers, with putative drainage rearrangements resulting from the uplift of the Serra da Esperança. The endemic fauna of this region is presently threatened by invasive species, the construction of dams, and other human activities.

Predicación, verdad y sujeto colonial: genealogías de la obediencia en contexto mapuche
Authors: Lepe-Carrión Patricio
Published: November 2016

El presente texto examina las formas de predicación jesuita, contenidas en el esquema de subjetividad cristiana, y que entran en juego con las estrategias de conquista, expansión y explotación en el reino de Chile durante el siglo XVII. Se propone una lectura del pasado colonial, de sus relaciones de poder imbricadas en las ‘tecnologías del yo’, en el marco de un proyecto Fondecyt de Iniciación (nº11140804) que tiene como objeto de análisis los efectos de despolitización que tiene la Educación Intercultural durante las últimas décadas de postdictadura. El eje que orienta este trabajo está en pensar cómo el núcleo de la subjetividad mapuche (weichafe) ha sido durante siglos el foco de interés en las políticas o prácticas de dominación imperial.

Characterisation of smectite-rich clay soil: Implication for groundwater defluoridation
Authors: Mudzielwana Rabelani , Gitari Mugera W. , Msagati Titus A.M.
Published: November 2016

Groundwater is a widely used and affordable source of drinking water in most of the rural areas of South Africa. Several studies have indicated that groundwater in some boreholes in South Africa has a fluoride concentration above the level recommended by the World Health Organization (1.5 mg/L). Fluoride concentrations above the permissible limit (>1.5 mg/L) lead to dental fluorosis, with even higher concentrations leading to skeletal fluorosis. In the present work, we evaluate the application of smectite-rich clay soil from Mukondeni (Limpopo Province, South Africa) in defluoridation of groundwater. The clay soil was characterised by mineralogy using X-ray diffraction, by elemental composition using X-ray fluorescence and by morphology using scanning electron microscopy. Surface area and pore volume was determined by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface analysis method. Cation exchange capacity and pHpzc of the soil were also evaluated using standard laboratory methods. Batch experiments were conducted to evaluate and optimise various operational parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dose, pH and initial adsorbate concentration. It was observed that 0.8 g/100 mL of smectite-rich clay soil removed up to 92% of fluoride from the initial concentration of 3 mg/L at a pH of 2 with a contact time of 30 min. The experimental data fitted well to a Langmuir adsorption isotherm and followed pseudo second order reaction kinetics. Smectite-rich clay soil showed 52% fluoride removal from field groundwater with an initial fluoride concentration of 5.4 mg/L at an initial pH of 2 and 44% removal at a natural pH of 7.8. Therefore smectite-rich clay soil from Mukondeni has potential for application in defluoridation of groundwater. Chemical modification is recommended to improve the defluoridation capacity.

Significance: 

Physicochemical and mineralogical characterisation of smectite-rich clay soil
Defluoridation of groundwater using smectite-rich clay soil

Published: November 2016

A actividade física (af) tem um papel fundamental na melhoria da saúde e no bem -estar. no entanto, nas sociedades modernas, os estilos de vida estão a mudar no sentido de comportamentos mais sedentários, o que contribui para um aumento do risco de desenvolvimento de doenças crónicas, como diabetes tipo ii, doenças cardiovasculares, hipertensão, alguns tipos de cancro, doenças músculo -esqueléticas, obesidade, entre outras. Comportamentos como a af e bons hábitos alimentares, entre outros, são moldados em idades precoces. Pode portanto afirmar -se que os comportamentos adquiridos durante a infância e a adolescência podem ser determinantes dos níveis de af (naf) na idade adulta. existem evidências científicas que sugerem que o ambiente urbano pode influenciar os naf da população, comprovando -se que algumas das suas características estão associadas com o transporte activo ou com o desenvolvimento de actividades de lazer. no entanto há poucos estudos sobre elementos objectivos do território e sua relação com os naf, sobretudo dos realizados fora dos contextos americano e australiano. É importante identificar que variáveis influenciam os naf dos adolescentes, especialmente em espaços urbanos, a fim de promover áreas e pessoas mais saudáveis.
Clima e turismo num contexto de mudanças ambientais

A disseminação da prática turística é um fenómeno recente, especialmente marcado a partir da década de 60 do século passado. Mais recente ainda é o estudo sistemático das relações entre turismo e clima. na abordagem teórica acerca da motivação turística, o clima, visto como um bem ou a prestação de um serviço, transforma -se num recurso passível de ser avaliado. neste texto, exemplificam -se várias tentativas para quantificar o “recurso climático” na determinação do potencial turístico de uma região e sintetizam -se os conhecimentos sobre a importância do clima na motivação dos turistas. além disso, o turismo é um dos sectores económicos em que se antecipa que as alterações climáticas venham a ter bastante impacto, devido a modificações do clima nos locais turísticos; por outro lado, as próprias práticas turísticas contribuem para intensificar as alterações climáticas, devido ao aumento de emissão de gases com efeito de estufa. na segunda parte, abordam -se as possíveis interacções entre as alterações climáticas e o turismo, bem como possíveis medidas de mitigação e adaptação.

Consumactor: da condição do indivíduo na cidade pós-moderna
Authors: Cachinho Herculano
Published: November 2016

Neste pequeno ensaio sobre o consumidor na cidade pós-modernadesenvolveram-se essencialmente três ideias. Em primeiro lugar, procurou demonstrar-se que a metrópole contemporânea se pode caracterizar, essencialmente, comoum centro de consumo. Consumo que é elevado ao estatuto de espectáculo pelosdiferentes actores urbanos. Enquanto centro de consumo, a metrópole pós-modernaalimenta-se de dois tipos de paisagens: a cityscape, o ambiente construído ou a arquitectura física da cidade, e a mindscape, as paisagens interiores, ou da alma, produtoda espacialidade das práticas quotidianas. As primeiras fornecem os palcos e os cená-rios necessários à representação dos consumidores, as segundas escrevem os textosque servem de guião à representação.Em segundo lugar, defendeu-se a ideia que na sociedade urbana pós-moderna,os consumidores se tornaram, simultaneamente, espectadores e actores. Conjugandoa faceta de flâneur, de viajante contemplativo, com a de persona implicada na representação e nas experiências de consumo, transformaram-se na figura de consumactores. Para se poder captar esta multidimensionalidade do consumidor pós-moderno,sugere-se o abandono da tradicional segmentação em múltiplos nichos de mercado,e que passemos a ver o indivíduo de forma integrada, respeitando a sua complexaestrutura bio-psico-social, que faz dele uma pessoa.Por último, defende-se também que para captar o espírito do consumactor precisamos de investigá-lo no seu  habitat. Nómada de espírito, pela sua condição deviajante contemplativo, empenhado em obter prazer estético na experiência superficial das intensidades e no fluxo das imagens, o consumactor transita, deambula, passeia-se por múltiplos palcos, mas nutre especial simpatia pelos centros comerciais.Feitos de simulações, arranjos cenográficos, jogos  de sedução e possibilidades, oscentros comerciais criam a ambiance ideal para a comunicação tribal, o espectáculoe a representação. Aos olhos do consumactor nenhum outro lugar na cidade parececonseguir sublimar melhor a sua actuação, razão pela qual fazem destes morada,lugar de encontro e de celebração.
A nobilitação urbana no Bairro Alto: análise de um processo de recomposição sócio-espacial
Authors: Mendes Luís
Published: November 2016

O actual fenómeno de nobilitação urbana deve ser contextualizadonas profundas alterações económicas que têm decorrido nos espaços urbanos dos paí-ses ocidentais de capitalismo avançado desde os finais dos anos 60 do século passado. Estas transformações não podem, porém, ser somente compreendidas e analisadas como resultado dos circuitos especulativos de valorização/desvalorização dosolo urbano e dos bens imobiliários nele existentes, assim como de políticas de intervenção urbanística-arquitectónica, mas também das alterações que aquela reestruturação económica desencadeou na estrutura profissional e na textura social da cidade,com o declínio da produção e do emprego industriais e do rápido crescimento dosector terciário qualificado no seu interior. Seleccionando o Bairro Alto como casoilustrativo deste processo de reestruturação urbana na cidade de Lisboa, analisaremos as importantes transformações na sua estrutura demográfica e sociocultural, coma chegada de novos moradores desde o início dos anos 80. A hipótese é a de que areconfiguração de estratégias residenciais de sectores sociais específicos tem conduzido à emergência de novos modelos de apropriação e de vivência do habitat e,por conseguinte, ao aparecimento de novos produtos imobiliários e novos formatosde alojamento no bairro. Estes assumem a forma de enclaves residenciais, o quereforça a fragmentação do espaço urbano.

Metodologia para a monitorização e gestão da pesca de arrasto em Portugal. O exemplo do SIG GEOCRUST 1.0
Authors: Simões Joana , Pinto Carlos , Afonso-Dias Manuel
Published: November 2016

A METHODOLOGY FOR THE MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF TRAWL FISHERIES IN PORTUGAL. THE SIG EXAMPLE OF GEOCRUST 1.0. This paper aims to present the Geographical Information System GEOCRUST 1.0, a computer programme developed within the fishery research project DGXIV 99/059, Use of Satellite GPS data to map effort and landings of the Portuguese crustacean fleet (GEOCRUST), in the University of Algarve. This stand-alone application was developed essentially to map fishing effort and catch per unit effort (CPUE) information for the Portuguese crustacean trawl fleet, operating off the Southwest and South coasts of Portugal. The data available for this study included GPS vessels’ geographical positions and speed, transmitted via satellite to the Portuguese fisheries inspection authorities, and their catch reported to the Portuguese Directorate-General of Fisheries. GEOCRUST 1.0 was developed in ®VISUAL BASIC 6.0 using two ActiveX control: ADODB, to connect with the ®MSACCESS 2000 database and ®MAPOBJECTS 2.0 PRO, to communicate with the maps and provide GIS facilities. The application includes seven modules with the following objectives: Module 1 – to map and edit the original VMS data for a single vessel or group of vessels, for different periods of time; Module 2 – to analyse the trawl speed of each vessel; Module 3 – to define the boundaries of all fishing trips performed by vessel along the year; Module 4 – to identify and define the trawl hauls, within each fishing trip; Module 5 – to issue maps of fishing effort and CPUE; Module 6 – for exploratory data analysis and to extract data from the DB for further use in other computer packages and Module 7 – to recreate the activity of a single vessel, group of vessels or the total fleet, for a fixed period of time. This GIS application, fully developed by programming, has the advantage of being able to be used on its own without any need for external software support. The system developed is a methodological proposal to implement in Portugal, to monitor and manage the trawl fisheries, in particular, the crustacean trawl fishery.
The Geography of "disused" railways: what is happening in Portugal?
Authors: Sarmento João
Published: November 2016

GREENWAYS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. Recently the concept of Greenways has acquired a multifunctional dimension, and is now used by planners as a tool for preserving environmental qualities of the landscape, as well as to structure leisure resources. It has even become a significant part of transport planning in urban areas. This article focuses on the ways in which disused railways can be an integral part of greenway planning. Firstly, the greenway concept and its evolution will be approached. This will be followed by a brief summary of the railway history in Portugal and an analysis of the present situation in the country regarding railways that are not in use any more. Finally, a detailed study of the first cycleway built in Portugal by using the disused railways between Guimarães and Fafe in the Northwest of the country will be presented.

Influência da Oscilação do Atlântico Norte no clima do continente europeu e no caudal dos rios ibéricos atlânticos
Authors: Trigo Ricardo , Osborn Timothy , Corte-Real João
Published: November 2016

THE IMPACT OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION ON THE EUROPEAN CLIMATE AND RIVER FLOW OF THREE MAJOR IBERIAN RIVERS – The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the most dominant mode of atmospheric circulation variability over the entire Northern Hemisphere (NH) and has recently been shown to be related to climate over large regions of the NH, in particular, over the European and North American continents. Here, a multivariable analysis of the influence ofthe NAO on the climate of the North Atlantic and European sectors is presented using the 40 year (1958-97) reanalysis data set from National Centres for Environmental Prediction. Using high and low NAO index composites, anomaly fields of climate variables are then interpreted based on physical mechanisms associated with the anomalous mean flow (characterised by the surface wind field) and theanomalous eddy activity (characterised by the surface vorticity and the 500hPa storm track fields). It is shown that NAO-related temperature patterns are mainly controlled by the advection of heat by the anomalous mean flow. However, asymmetries between minimum and maximum temperatures, and more significantly, between positive and negative phases of NAO imply the importance of a different mechanism, namely the modulation of short wave and long wave radiation by cloud cover variations associated with the NAO. Furthermore, NAO influence over two different precipitation-related variables, namely, precipitation rate and precipitable water display different patterns. Precipitable water is shown to be strongly related to the corresponding anomaly fields of temperature while precipitation rate appears to be controlled by the surface vorticity field and associated strength of the tropospheric synoptic activity. Finally, we have assessed the impact of the NAO on winter river flow regimes for several different Portuguese rivers, including the three main international Iberian rivers, the Douro (north), the Tagus (centre) and the Guadiana (south). Results show that the large inter-annual variability of flow of these three rivers is largely modulated by the NAO. Such modulation, associated with the recent positive trend of the NAO index, might implicate a significant decrease of the available flow. This reduction can representan important hazard for the Portuguese economy due to its negative impact in agricultural yield and hydroelectric power production.

The persistence of romantic ideas and the origins of the natural park policy in Spain
Authors: Mendoza Josefina Gómez
Published: November 2016

The circulation of geographical ideas is interesting, not only within intellect currents, but also with regards to their transfer from the conceptual and representational to the practical plane. This article studies the influence of the romantic idea of nature and landscape in the earliest decisions regarding the declaration on National Parks. The spanish case is specially interesting because of its landscape and environmental diversity. Moreover, Spain is known to be one of the first European countries to initiate a conservation policy, rooted in the romantic "regeneracionistas" movements, and because of the role played by geographers in the early conservation development. It is argued in the text, that is the survival of the romantic ideas which partially explains the choice of the first parks and sites, more precisely, that such a process concentrated on high Atlantic mountains and forested areas while Mediterranean environments were postposed. Landscape and geologic symbolism, romanticism's heritage, predominated at this time over ecologic observance. In addition to this, identity and traditional reasons, which also favored romantic "places of choice", whereas social reasons and arguments in favor of increase of productivity prevented an earlier classification of areas with great biological resources as Doñana in the Southwest.
The Hettner-Hartshorne connection: reconsidering the process of reception and transformation of a geographic concept
Authors: Harvey Francis , Wardenga Ute
Published: November 2016

This contribution examines the process of reception and transformation of a geographic concept on the exemple of the connection between Alfred Hettner and Richard Hartshorne. The first part sketches the development and structure of Hettner's theoretical construction of geography. This examiation shows that commonly held perceptions until now are the results of a reception that only partially, and in parts erroneously, represent Hettner's thinking. The second part illustrates how Richard Hartshorne received Hettner's concept. Hartshorne, like Hettner's German colleagues, did not grasp the underlying meaning of Hettner's work. However, in contrast to many German geographers, he did understand important aspects of Hettner's approach, like, for exemple, the relational approach to the "region", the problem of regionalization,and the relationship between idiography and nomothesis. The third part shows how German geographers' understanding of Hettner's concept was influenced by the Hartshorne-Schaefer debate in the 1970s.

Essai de Phytoclimatologie dynamique dans le nord du Portugal, et réflexion sur les climats mediterranéens portugais
Authors: Correia Ana Isabel , Lecompte Michel
Published: November 2016

A STUDY IN DYNAMIC PHYTOCLIMATOLOGY IN THE NORTH OF PORTUGAL AND THE QUESTION OF MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATES IN PORTUGAL - The climate-vegetation relation in the north of Portugal is studied in a new way. The dynamic continuity of the climate is revealed by the existence of botanical "continuums". The vegetation sampling was made along a continous NW-SE line transect, 185 km long, parallel to the strongest pluviometric gradient. Multivariate analysis and some of the applications of the information theory were used in the floristic study. In the climate study the spatial patterns of daily values of precipitation were analysed for a period of three years. This description was also done by means of multivariate analysis, including CCA for the aerological explanation. A "threshold of hydric satisfaction", around 1400mm of mean annual rainfall seems to determine the existence of an Atlantic vegetation, between the Alvão and Falperra mountains and the Ocean. This vegetation is homogeneous because it does not respond to the udometric variations above this level. To the east, the Atlantic vegetation rapidly dissapears. The comparison between daily precipitation regimes in the different stations and the dynamic interpretation of the differences bring some light to the discussion about the climate in the NW of the Iberian Peninsula: is it an Atlantic or a Mediterranean climate? In the maritime coast of Portugal these two influences mingle, as opposed to the sheltered interior provinces.

The Quebec system of social innovation: a focused analysis on the local development field
Authors: Klein Juan-Luis , Fontan Jean-Marc , Harrisson Denis , Lévesque Benoît
Published: November 2016

This article shows the components of a system of social innovation based on collaboration and consensus building between a plurality of actors and economic logics. The social innovation system of Quebec features new combinations, approaches, ways of coordination and governance in which social economy and civil society play an important role. Participative governance, co-production of services, co-construction of public policies, as well as the plural character of the economy represent important aspects of this system. This article addresses the territorial dimensions of what could be called the Quebec model of social innovation.
Sustainable development policies and the geographical landscape of the green economy: actors, scales and strategies
Authors: Hamdouch Abdelillah , Depret Marc-Hubert
Published: November 2016

Following the rise of climate and environmental challenges during the last decade or so, the growing awareness among various actors of sustainability issues at the local and global levels has resulted in a change in public policies as in industrial and financial strategic moves. This change has been rapidly translated into substantial investments both in public and private environmental sectors. Indeed, many “green” technologies and innovations are now reaching the market and more radical ones are being developed through significant research and Developing (r&D) investments. However, the development of this emergent “Green economy” is rather concentrated in certain leading countries or regions. Building on some national examples, the paper explains this phenomenon by the key role played both by the integration and inter-temporal coherence of public policies and by territorial specific settings and permissive conditions.
A Clinical Profile of Typhoid Perforation of Bowel in a Tertiary Care Centre
Authors: Bhamre Sudhir , Chandak Sushma S.
Published: November 2016

Background and Aims: Salmonella typhi causes an estimated 22 million cases of typhoid fever and 216000 deaths annually worldwide1 and in developing countries, typhoid bowel perforation is an important surgical problem. The surgeon is faced with number of challenges during the management of these patients. The aims of this study are 1. To study the clinical profile of typhoid perforation of bowel in a tertiary care centre. 2. To study post operative outcome in patients with typhoid ulcer perforation. Methods and Methodology: A total of 45 patients diagnosed as having typhoid bowel perforation were included for the study after fulfilling the inclusion/ exclusion criteria. Results: Majority of patients were in the 2nd and 3rd decades (57.7%) with age ranging from 18 to 68 years. There were 28 (63.63%) males and 17 (37.7%) females. Fever with abdominal pain were the symptoms in all subjects followed by vomiting, distension of abdomen and constipation respectively. Most of the patients presented during 2nd and 3rd week of illness. 5 patients presented early i.e. within 24 hours and 40 patients presented late i.e., after 24 hours. Widal test was positive in 35 (79.45%) cases. Majority of patients (66.6%) group showed leucocytosis, while 7% showed leucopenia and 17% had normal WBC counts. Single perforation was found in 27 patients (60%), 2 perforations in 14 patients (31.1%) and more than 2 perforations were found in 4 patients (8.8%). Gas under diaphragm was present in all the patients. The most commonly done procedure in 33 cases (73.33% ) was simple closure of the perforation and resection and end to end ileo ileal anastomosis was done in 10 patients whereas ileo transverse anastomosis with ileostomy was done in 2 patients with multiple perforations. The most common post-operative complication was surgical site infection followed by respiratory infections, wound dehiscence. Enterocutaneous fistula was present in one case Mortality rate of 6.6 % was seen.
Functional Outcome of Closed Intramedullary Interlocking Nailing in Gustillo-Anderson Type I and II Compound Fractures of Femoral Shaft
Authors: Bhasale Amit , Joshi Satyen
Published: November 2016

Background: Fractures of the shaft of the femur are among the most common fractures resulting mostly from high energy trauma. Objectives: To study the functional outcome of closed intramedullary interlocking nailing in Gustillo-Anderson type I and II compound fractures of femoral shaft. Methodology: In this prospective study, 20 adult patients with Gustillo Anderson Class I and II fractures were included. After undergoing closed intramedullary interlocking nailing , the functional outcome was assessed using the Harris Hip score. Results and Conclusion: Excellent or good functional outcome as per Harris Hip score was observed in 80% cases while fair results were observed in 15% cases. One case with deep wound infection and non union showed poor outcome. Interlocked intramedullary nailing system showed excellent result in both close and open fractures.
Human Values and Reaction to CSR Announcements: A Cross-National Comparison with Emphasis on U.S.–Global Differences
Authors: Pawlak Marek , Mahesh Sathiadev
Published: November 2016

Studies have been conducted in five countries concerning the human values of management students, and their opinions about corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. While the results suggest that CSR announcements have a significant influence on the opinion about company CSR initiatives, we observe a difference between students in the U.S. and students in other countries. The highest negative response to CSR announcements was in the group of self-transcendent students in the USA, and in the group of conservative students in Europe and Asia. On the basis of these studies’ results, it is possible to say that there are differences in reactions to CSR announcements depending on cultural (local) circumstances and that companies should not employ direct communication concerning their CSR initiatives.
Estimation of Particulate Matter Impact on Human Health within the Urban Environment of Athens City, Greece
Authors: Moustris Konstantinos P. , Ntourou Kleopatra , Nastos Panagiotis
Published: November 2016

The main objective of this work is the assessment of the annual number of hospital admissions for respiratory disease (HARD) due to the exposure to in-healable particulate matter (PM10), within the greater Athens area (GAA), Greece. Towards this aim, the time series of the particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10μm (PM10) recorded in six monitoring stations located in the GAA, for a 13-year period 2001-2013, is used. Initially, a descriptive statistical treatment of PM10 concentrations took place. Furthermore, the AirQ2.2.3 software developed by the WHO was used to evaluate adverse health effects by PM10 in the GAA during the examined period. The results show that, during the examined period PM10 concentrations present a significant decreasing trend. Also, the mean annual HARD cases per 100,000 inhabitants ranged between 20 (suburban location) and 40 (city centre location). Approximately 70% of the annual HARD cases are due to city centre residents. In all examined locations, a declining trend in the annual number of HARD cases is appeared. Moreover, a strong relation between the annual number of HARD cases and the annual number of days exceeding the European Union daily PM10 threshold value was found.
