Mitochondrial dysfunction in kidney cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of CKD. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number is a surrogate measure of mitochondrial function, and higher mtDNA copy number in peripheral blood has been associated with lower risk of two important risk factors for CKD progression, diabetes and microalbuminuria. We evaluated whether mtDNA copy number in peripheral blood associates with incident CKD in a population-based cohort of middle-aged adults. We estimated mtDNA copy number using 25 high-quality mitochondrial single nucleotide polymorphisms from the Affymetrix 6.0 array. Among 9058 participants, those with higher mtDNA copy number had a lower rate of prevalent diabetes and lower C-reactive protein levels and white blood cell counts. Baseline eGFR did not differ significantly by mtDNA copy number. Over a median follow-up of 19.6 years, 1490 participants developed CKD. Higher mtDNA copy number associated with lower risk of incident CKD (highest versus lowest quartile: hazard ratio 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.56 to 0.75; P<0.001) after adjusting for age, sex, and race. After adjusting for additional risk factors of CKD, including prevalent diabetes, hypertension, C-reactive protein level, and white blood cell count, this association remained significant (highest versus lowest quartile: hazard ratio 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.64 to 0.87; P<0.001). In conclusion, higher mtDNA copy number associated with lower incidence of CKD independent of traditional risk factors and inflammation biomarker levels in this cohort. Further research on modifiable factors influencing mtDNA copy number may lead to improvement in the prevention and treatment of CKD.

Entre l’ombre et la lumière: l’espoir dans les romans de Marie-Claire Blais
Authors: Pich Ponce Eva
Published: January 2016

Si de nombreuses études ont mis en relief l’obscurité et la souffrance qui caractérisent l’écriture de Marie-Claire Blais, cette analyse vise à montrer l’importance que l’espoir acquiert dans son œuvre romanesque. Nous observerons tout d’abord jusqu’à quel point les images de l’ombre et de la lumière reviennent dans ses récits. La figure de l’ange est aussi significative dans ses textes. Toutefois, l’espoir réside pour cet auteur dans l’humanité elle-même. En effet, nous verrons comment dans l’œuvre de Marie-Claire Blais l’action solidaire et l’écriture peuvent apporter une certaine lumière et de l’espoir à un monde en destruction.
Anclaje de paredes de dominio de interfaces ferromagneto/antiferromagneto en la manganita Pr0.5Sr0.5-xCaxMnO3 con separación de fases
Authors: Niebieskikwiat Darío G. , Sánchez Rodolfo D.
Published: January 2016

Aquí presentamos un estudio de las propiedades magnéticas de la manganita Pr0.5Sr0.5-xCaxMnO3 para x=0.1 y 0.2, donde se presenta la coexistencia entre las fases ferromagnética (FM) y antiferromagnética (AFM). Este estado está caracterizado por la presencia de inclusiones FM dentro de una matriz AFM. La evolución de la magnetización (M) con el campo magnético aplicado (H) muestra la existencia de un campo crítico HC, por encima del cual M crece rápidamente, indicando una expansión repentina del volumen de la fase FM en detrimento del volumen de la fase AFM. Analizamos este comportamiento y la respuesta de la susceptibilidad magnética a bajos campos (H<HC) en términos de un modelo simplificado que considera el anclaje de las paredes de dominio FM/AFM (las interfaces entre las fases FM y AFM). A partir de este análisis podemos estimar algunos parámetros relevantes, incluyendo la energía y longitud característica de anclaje y el tamaño característico de los dominios ferromagnéticos, el cual coincide con otras observaciones experimentales.
Un algoritmo simple y eficiente para la clasificación automática de páginas web
Authors: Garcia María del Cisne , Pasmay Fausto , Carrera Enrique V.
Published: January 2016

Este artículo propone un simple pero eficiente clasificador de paginas Web basado en la frecuencia de termi- nos. La simplicidad esta dada por el uso de un conjunto pequeüo de terminos para describir cada clase, mientras que la eficiencia es alcanzada mediante embolsamiento. El uso de atributos simples como la fre­cuencia de terminos tambien reduce la complejidad de los algoritmos de preprocesamiento y extracción de características. Sin embargo, un problema de usar propiedades dependientes de los terminos incluidos en cada paígina es la seleccioí n de la descripcioí n de teírminos correspondiente para cada una de las clases. En este trabajo, la seleccion de terminos para cada clase se basa en el coeficiente TFIDF, mientras que el enbol- samiento utiliza clasificadores probados como redes neuronales y algoritmos bayesianos. Los resultados de nuestra evaluacion muestran un clasificador sumamente rápido con una exactitud superior al 83 %.
Impacto humano sobre la diversidad de mamíferos en tierras Secoyas Amazonía Ecuatoriana
Authors: De la Torre Stella , Payaguaje Hernán
Published: January 2016

Para evaluar el impacto de la cacería sobre la diversidad de mamíferos en las tierras Secoya, al nororiente del Ecuador, utilizamos una metodología no invasiva basada en el uso de “trampas de cámara” ubicadas en bosques a diferentes distancias de los asentamientos Secoya desde abril a diciembre 2006. Registramos un total de 20 especies de mamíferos pertenecientes a 14 familias. Las especies con mayor número de registros fueron la guatusa Dasyprocta fuliginosa, el sahíno Pécari tajacu y la guanta Agouti paca. La diversidad de especies, estimada por el número de especies registradas por mes, fue significativamente menor en bosques cerca de asentamientos humanos que en bosques alejados de los asentamientos. Presentamos también datos preliminares de la abundancia relativa de las especies y de sus patrones de actividad diaria y estacional. El carácter participativo de la investigación ha facilitado la toma de conciencia por parte de los Secoya sobre los impactos negativos de la cacería y será un pilar importante para el desarrollo de un programa de manejo de cacería eficaz y adecuado a su realidad ambiental y cultural.
Evaluación de la calidad de agua a través de macroinvertebrados bentónicos e índices biológicos en ríos tropicales en bosque de neblina montano
Authors: Arroyo J. Carolina , Encalada Andrea C.
Published: January 2016

Los efectos de la contaminación en ríos de zonas temperadas han sido descritos de manera extensa y desde hace varias décadas, mientras existe escasa información de estos efectos en ríos neotropicales. Los macroinvertebrados bentónicos son muy utilizados como bioindicadores de la calidad de fuentes de agua, debido a sus características y requerimientos especiales que hacen a estos organismos muy sensibles a diversos impactos. Se realizó un muestreo de macroinvertebrados bentónicos en los ríos Guajalito, Palmeras y Brincador, los cuales cruzan a través del Bosque Protector Río Guajalito, con el fin de estimar la calidad de las aguas de los mismos y de comparar diversos índices biológicos de calidad de aguas (BMWP, IBMWP, BMWP/Col e índice de Sensibilidad). Además se realizó una caracterización física y química para validar la información biológica obtenida. Las familias más representativas fueron Hydropsychidae, Chironomidae y Helicopsychidae. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la diversidad y riqueza de invertebrados bentónicos entre los diferentes ríos, y además en las puntuaciones de los diferentes índices biológicos de calidad del agua. El análisis de los diferentes parámetros (físico- químico y biológico) en estos ríos sugieren que los ríos Guajalito y Palmeras tienen aguas ligera a moderadamente contaminadas y que el río Brincador tiene un calidad óptima de sus aguas. Además, el presente estudio sugiere que el índice biológico que explica mejor sobre la calidad de las aguas en este bosque montano, es posiblemente el BMWP/Col, debido principalmente a que más del 97% de familias de invertebrados encontradas están presentes en el índice. A futuro, es necesario el desarrollo de un índice de calidad biológica para el Ecuador, donde se cubra todo el rango altitudinal y ecosistémico del país, así como las familias de macroinvertebrados comunes en los cuerpos de agua.
Seguimiento de dispositivos móviles en un sistema de comunicaciones móviles celulares
Authors: Silva Santiago , Játiva E. René P.
Published: January 2016

Este artículo trata sobre el uso de algoritmos estadísticos en la estimación de señales de una red celular y su aplicación al posicionamiento y seguimiento de dispositivos móvil, con la finalidad de conseguir que la red esté en capacidad de proporcionar servicios basados en localización que podrían ser explotados conforme a las necesidades de los usuarios del sistema.Se introducen brevemente dos técnicas de posicionamiento homogéneas: la primera basada en la estimación de los instantes de llegada de la señal (TOA), y la otra en la observación de la diferencia de instantes de llegada (TDOA); y se utilizan ciertos estadísticos desarrollados para estimar la varianza del error de posicionamiento al aplicar estas metodologías, para simular un entorno realista en el cual se disponen de mediciones de posición de suscriptores móviles. Estas mediciones contienen errores asociados a las limitaciones inherentes de la aplicación de estas metodologías sobre canales móviles, en este caso especialmente a sesgos introducidos por la presencia de propagación multitrayecto. A partir de estas medidas y de las ecuaciones de estado que definen el movimiento del dispositivo, y mediante la aplicación del Filtro de Kalman, se refina la estimación de posición. En efecto, el Filtro de Kalman minimiza el ruido de medida, a partir de su estadística y del comportamiento de los datos; es un filtro adaptativo cuyo uso permite conseguir una mejor aproximación de los resultados, y por consiguiente una mayor flexibilidad en los servicios basados en localización (LBS) que potencialmente podrían derivarse de su incorporación al esquema de localización.El esquema desarrollado en esta propuesta se ha integrado para su visualización en un programa de mapas en tiempo real, GoogleEarth, que ocupa el puesto de servidor geográfico en este proyecto. En este artículo, se realiza la evaluación de las dos técnicas de posicionamiento ya mencionadas: TOA y TDOA, y del seguimiento de suscriptor móvil a través del uso del filtro de Kalman, en operación integrada, y no incluye los procesos de gestión y cálculo requeridos en una red celular para llevar a cabo la localización.

Este artículo sintetiza nuevas propuestas en la enseñanza de la matemática elemental basadas en teorías de sicología del aprendizaje que argumentan la presencia de estructuras cognitivas pre-existentes a la instrucción, las cuales posibilitan el pensamiento proporcional como un componente distinto del componente lógico en el que se basa el desarrollo del concepto de número cardinal en la instrucción elemental. Se expone además una posible línea de desarrollo de implementación de este cambio para la enseñanza del concepto de fracción conjuntamente con preguntas abiertas a futuras investigaciones.
Aluminosilicatos mesoporosos catalíticamente activos obtenidos usando el biopolímero quitosano como agente formador de poros
Authors: Hidrobo Alexis , Retuert Jaime , Araya Paulo
Published: January 2016

Este trabajo presenta la síntesis, y caracterización parcial, de aluminosilicatos mesoporosos obtenidos a partir de un xerogel híbrido organo-inorgánico, utilizando el biopolímero quitosano conjuntamente con un proceso de tratamiento hidrotermal como herramientas de modelación estructural. Mediante comparación con las características de su contraparte blanco, que carece de quitosano, se establece el papel del biopolímero como generador de mesoporosidad y estabilizador de la red.Mediante la reacción de craqueo catalítico de Cumeno se determina que el material posee, a diferencia del material preparado sin quitosano, grupos ácidos con buena estabilidad hidrotermal. Esto hace que pueda ser considerado como un potencial catalizador para la transformación de moléculas de gran tamaño.

Published: January 2016

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o conhecimento, opinião, acompanhamento e a execução do cirurgião-dentista na Odontologia Hospitalar. Foram aplicados 500 questionários a cirurgiões-dentistas na cidade de Araçatuba do estado de São Paulo. Os resultados demonstraram que 49% dos profissionais nunca tiveram a experiência no âmbito hospitalar e 64% afirmaram que este conteúdo é carente como parte integrante do currículo de graduação. Outro resultado foi de que 46% dos entrevistados não têm interesse ou não acham necessário atuar dentro do hospital e 24% acreditam que esse atendimento seja feito somente por especialistas. Pode-se sugerir que há carência de conhecimento sobre Odontologia Hospitalar, assim o cirurgião-dentista deve ser instruído desde a sua formação acadêmica para a inserção na equipe hospitalar.

Published: January 2016

Este estudo identificou a aplicabilidade do Tratamento Restaurador atraumático (ART) na Atenção Primária à Saúde no Paraná. Aplicou-se um questionário a 97 profissionais de 85 municípios (54,6% dentistas; 28,9% gestores). A maioria utiliza restaurações atraumáticas (76,0%), mas só 12,4% receberam capacitação e a indicação preferencial é dentes decíduos. Pontos positivos: maior número de restaurações realizadas (64,4%) e percepção positiva dos profissionais (49,3%). Barreiras: falta de treinamento (50,5%) e preferência por restaurações convencionais (49,5%). Concluiu-se que, mesmo reconhecendo benefícios, o ART é subutilizado na Atenção Primária à Saúde, sendo necessários programas de educação continuada.

Authors: Menezes Ana Carolina , Rosmaninho Érika , Raposo Bárbara Soares , Alencar Maria José Dos S.
Published: January 2016

O câncer é uma patologia grave e o seu tratamento pode ser feito através de quimioterapia, radioterapia ou uma terapia combinada. O diagnóstico, o pré-tratamento e o tratamento são extremamente importantes para a prevenção das sequelas e para a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A mucosite oral é um dos efeitos colaterais mais significativos da terapia contra o câncer. O risco para o desenvolvimento dessa condição, a sua gravidade e a duração dependem do tipo de tratamento realizado, idade, predisposição genética, saúde e higiene oral, a função secretora salivar, a alimentação, o uso de tabaco e álcool entre outros. Os sintomas podem variar de leve desconforto até uma dor intensa. O uso simultâneo da quimioterapia e da radioterapia resulta em um quadro de mucosite mais severo e prolongado. O objetivo desse estudo é informar sobre a mucosite oral, os seus fatores de risco, os seus sintomas e os possíveis tratamentos para essa condição.
A relação do bruxismo com a dopamina
Authors: Alencar Maria José Santos , Martins Bruna Maria De Carvalho , Vieira Bárbara Nogueira
Published: January 2016

O bruxismo é uma parafunção muito comum na população e não há um consenso sobre uma etiologia específica, sendo considerado assim de natureza multifatorial. Entre os fatores etiológicos encontra-se a atuação dos neurotransmissores: noradrenalina, serotonina e, principalmente, a dopamina, devido a sua função, entre outras, de inibir movimentos musculares espontâneos. Com base na revisão da literatura confrontamos dados que pudessem ajudar a comprovar a influência dos neurotransmissores na gênese da parafunção e como drogas que atuam nos mesmos receptores desses neurotransmissores apresentam relevância para o desencadeamento ou atenuação dos episódios de bruxismo.
Solventes do Primer: revisão de literatura
Authors: Sousa José Henrique Pereira de Sousa , Moro André Fabio Vasconcelos
Published: January 2016

O aperfeiçoamento dos agentes adesivos contendo diferentes solventes e os avanços no tratamento da dentina resultaram em crescentes forças de adesão entre dentina e resina. O primer de forma isolada ou combinada com o adesivo está dissolvido em solventes como acetona, álcool e água. Os solventes respondem pela diluição do monômero e na evaporação da água remanescente na superfície dentinária facilitando assim a formação da camada híbrida. Nem água nem resíduos do próprio solvente devem permanecer na intimidade da dentina desmineralizada, pois ambos irão propiciar inadequada polimerização dos monômeros resinosos contidos no primer ou na resina fluida, aplicada posteriormente. Diferentes solventes são responsáveis por diferentes metodologias de aplicação e formas de tratamento.

As sementes de mamoeiro apresentam-se recobertas por membranas mucilaginosas denominadas de sarcotesta ou arilo e esclerotesta, que apresentam em sua constituição substâncias de potencial inibitório, responsáveis pelo controle da germinação. Objetiva-se com este trabalho determinar métodos favoráveis à remoção da sarcotesta em sementes de mamão, avaliando seus efeitos sobre a qualidade fisiológica das mesmas. O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Análise de Sementes e Mudas da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus Pombal, PB. As sementes foram extraídas manualmente de frutos sadios em completo estádio de maturação e lavadas em água corrente para a remoção do tecido placentário aderido às sementes. Em seguida, foram homogeneizadas e separadas em quatro grupos, os quais receberam os seguintes tratamentos: sementes intactas, sem remoção (testemunha); remoção com pressão sobre peneira; remoção pela fricção com areia autoclavada e remoção sob agitação com liquidificador. Após os tratamentos as sementes foram submetidas aos seguintes testes para avaliação de sua qualidade fisiológica: teste de germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, teste de emergência, índice de velocidade de emergência, condutividade elétrica e determinação da umidade. O tratamento de fricção das sementes em peneira foi o mais eficiente na remoção da sarcotesta garantindo os melhores valores de qualidade fisiológica das sementes. Os métodos de remoção, fricção com areia autoclavada e liquidificador mostraram-se pouco eficientes na remoção da sarcotesta de sementes de mamão.

The Influence of Locus of Control on The Relationship between Professional Commitment And The  Job Satisfaction Of Accountant Academician. The effect of locus of control on the relationship between professional commitment and job satisfaction were investigated, because there has not been consistently empirical research.  As suggested in the literature, this research tests hypotheses that these specific contingency factor should aid in identifying situations where professional commitment would have a strong relationship with job satisfaction. Analysis of 41 accountant academician, who becomes the respondents, indicated that professional commitment has direct relationship with job satisfaction.  In addition, the contingency factor was found to play key role on this relationship.  The result of moderated regression analysis proved that locus of control to be pure moderator variable, and has a negative effect to the relationship between professional commitment and  job satisfaction, so that the relationship between  professional commitment and job satisfaction was significantly stronger for accountant academician with internal locus of control than in accountant academician with external locus of control. The implication of this study is relevant to university management and to academicians seeking to explain how, when, and where professional commitment is needed.Key words:  job satisfaction, locus of control  professional commitment
