The Weight of Social Position: the Unequal Health Trajectories of Children With a Diagnosis of Overweight or Obesity
Authors: Lutz Andrea
Published: August 2018

This article studies the impact of the social position on the health trajectories of children who follow a therapy for overweight or obesity management. Based on a qualitative study conducted within a Swiss hospital with 29 families, the author explains how the social position influences children’s relationship to health norms. The study results show that children belonging to wealthy families internalize more easily the therapeutic prescriptions in their everyday lives than the children from underprivileged families.
Development of Somatic Complaints Among Adolescents and Young Adults in Switzerland
Authors: Berchtold André , Surís Joan-Carles , Meyer Thomas , Taushanov Zhivko
Published: August 2018

In this study we explored the development of somatic complaints among adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 30 years in Switzerland. Using data from the Transitions from Education to Employment (TREE) study, we applied a hidden Markovian model with covariates to cluster trajectories representing the sum of eight somatic complaints. The resulting groups differed mainly in terms of gender, reading literacy, and substance use. The trajectories of somatic complaints were also related to the number of critical events experienced by the respondents.
Eine für die Berechnung der intestinalen Vitamin B12-Resorption beim Menschen sowohl im physiologischen, Intrinsic Factor-abhängigen als auch im unphysiologisch hohen, diffusionsbedingten Dosisbereich allgemein gültige Formel
Authors: Heinrich H. C. , Gabbe E. E. , Whang D D. H. , Wolfsteller E.
Published: August 2018

The intestinal absorption of pure 60Co-cyanocobalamin was measured in human beings in the dose range between 0.10 and 100,000 µg with the radio-vitamin B12-absorption-whole body retentiontest. The 60Co-vitamin B12-whole body-retention was measured within the 200 cm long 4 п detector geometry of a large volume radioactivity detector with liquid organic scintillator.

The estimated intestinal 60Co-vitamin B12 absorption in man can be described for the whole dose range (0.10 —100,000 µg) by two equations which contain expressions for the intrinsic factordependent vitamin B12 absorption and the diffusion absorption of vitamin B12 [see equations (1) and (2) ]. It is evident from these equations that intrinsic factor-dependent vitamin B12-absorption is limited to 1.5 µg B12/dose whereas the diffusion absorption of vitamin B12 approaches but never exceeds 0.90% of the oral dose.

The diffusion absorption rate can be used together with the vitamin B12-whole body turnover rate (~ 2.6 µg/day) as an experimental basis for an efficient oral vitamin B12-therapy with high doses.

Studies on Phenylpyruvic Acid, II. Keto-Enol Equilibrium in Water-Dimethylsulphoxide Mixtures
Authors: Cassidei L , Dell 'atti A , Sciacovelli
Published: August 2018

A spectroscopic study of the keto-enol equilibrium of phenylpyruvic acid (PPA) was performed in water-dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) mixtures, throughout the composition range and in an ex­ tended temperature range. The thermodynamic quantities of the tautomerism were also calculated. The high value of enolization entropy in pure DMSO is attributed to hydrogen bonding of PPA to this solvent. The experimental conditions and the optimum composition range of the H2O-DMSO mixtures for PPA analytical determination were determined.
Identification of β,β-Caroten-2-ol and β,β-Carotene-2,2′-diol in the Stick Insect, Carausius morosus Br.; a Reinvestigation Study
Authors: Kayser Hartmut
Published: August 2018

Two major carotenoids of the stick insect were reinvestigated and shown to be β,β-caroten-2-ol and β,β-carotene-2,2′-diol and not isocryptoxanthin (β,β-caroten-4-ol) and isozeaxanthin (β,β-carotene-4,4′-diol). Both pigments are esterified with fatty acids. The identification is based on co-chromatography with authentic 2-, 3-and 4-isomers of the mono-and dihydroxy pigment, mass spectra, and chemical behaviour. In acid solution β-β-carotene-2,2′-diol is specifically dehydro­ genated and rearranged to ketones with retro structures in analogy to the reaction of β,β-caroten-2-ol as recently reported. The final product of the diol is 4,5-dihydro-4,5′-retro-β,β-carotene-2,2′-dione.

This is the first demonstration of β,β-carotene-2,2′-diol in an animal.

Diphosphonates, Dissociation Constants The dissociation constants of ethane-l-hydroxy-1,1-disphosphonate [EHDP] and dichloro-methylene-diphosphonate [Cl2MDP] for H+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ have been determined from pH-titration curves. EHDP forms more stable chelates with Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ than Cl2MDP. Cl2MDP is a stronger acid than EHDP.
Kinetic Analysis of the Catalytic Properties of Peptides in Ester Hydrolysis
Authors: Petz Dorothee , Schneider Friedhelm
Published: August 2018

The catalytic properties of peptides containing histidine, cysteine and aspartic acid in ester hydrolysis were studied. Saturation kinetics were found for the reaction of p-nitrophenyl acetate (NPA) with Z-His-Ala-Asp-Gly-Cys-NH2 and Z-His-Ala-Gly-Gly-Cys-NH2 . The Brönsted equation for the hydrolysis of tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-alanine-p-nitrophenylester (Boc-Ala-ONp) catalyzed by simple imidazole and SH-compounds was determined. The catalytic behaviour of the peptides in ester hydrolysis could not be described by the Brönsted equations for imidazole or thiole catalyzed hydrolysis of NPA and Boc-Ala-ONp. The pH dependence of the rate constants of the catalyzed ester hydrolysis gave no linear plots in 1/k versus H+ diagrams.
On the Role of the Cell Coat Glycoproteins in the Permeability of the Cell
Authors: Anghileri L , Heidbreder M , Dermietzel R
Published: August 2018

The release of a part of the cell coat of Ehrlich ascites cells by chelation with ethylenediamine­ tetraacetic acid modifies significatively the uptake of various radioactive molecules. This phenomenon seems to be related to a change in the permeability of the cell membrane. The chemical analyses of the released material appear to indicate that glycoproteins are involved in that change and that their release modifies the structural and physiological characteristics of the cell membrane.
Labeling of Animal Cells with Fluorescent Dansyl Cerebroside
Authors: Huang Richard T. C.
Published: August 2018

A dansyl (diaminonaphthalenesulfonyl)-derivative of cerebroside was prepared which could be effectively incorporated into the plasma membranes of tissue culture cells and erythrocytes. The cells which had assimilated the glycolipid fluoresced intensely and could be observed under a fluorescent microscope. Cells were initially labeled rather homogeneously over the whole surface. With longer incubation time organization of the fluorescent glycolipid took place and patches of the lipid in the membrane were formed. The redistribution and organization of the membrane lipid could be demonstrated most clearly when cells labeled with this fluorescent glycolipid were infected with myxoviruses. After infection of MDBK and BHK cells with fowl plague virus areas of dense fluorescence appeared at margines of neighboring cells. When BHK cells were infected with Newcastle disease virus fusion of the cells was accompanied by complete redistribution of the glycolipid. Erythrocytes could also easily incorporate dansyl cerebroside. Chicken erythrocytes which contain cytoplasmic and nuclear membranes incorporated the fluorescent glycolipid in both membranes.
Experimentelle Untersuchungen zur ultraschwachen Photonen­ emission biologischer Systeme / Experimental Investigations on Ultraweak Photonemission from Biological Systems
Authors: Ruth B. , Popp F. A.
Published: August 2018

Ultraweak Photoemission, Biological Systems, Cell Communication Measurements on untreated yeast cells, potato-and cucumber seedlings have confirmed the existence of photon emission from biological systems known as “ultraweak luminescence”. The intensity is of the order of 102 counts per second, and the spectral distribution shows a maximum near 550 nm. The dependence of the photon emission on certain chemicals has been investigated. Some chemicals, as for instance acetone, intensify the photon emission from cucumber seedlings without essential change of the spectral distribution. On the other hand, NaCl leads to a shift to the red region of the spectrum. The treatment of EAT-cells by 4-Hydroperoxycyclofosfamide involves a nonlinear enhancement of the intensity with increasing concentration. There are some indications that collective interactions of the system are more appropriate than simple chemiluminescence reactions.

Rogan, S, Haehni, M, Luijckx, E, Dealer, J, Reuteler, S, and Taeymans, J. Effects of hip abductor muscles exercises on pain and function in patients with patellofemoral pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 3174–3187, 2019—This systematic review and meta-analysis considered the effects of hip strengthening (i.e., abductor and external rotator muscles) vs. no hip strengthening on pain and of hip strengthening combined with knee strengthening vs. knee strengthening (i.e., quadriceps muscles) alone on pain and functional status in patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Eleven, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) studies and 1 non-RCT study were included, totaling 604 participants. Female athletes were included in one study, whereas untrained participants were included in the other studies. On average, the studies showed a low methodological quality. Hip muscle strengthening showed greater pain-reducing effects when compared with no hip strengthening (standardized mean difference [SMD] = −1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], −2.92 to −0.9; p = 0.0002). When comparing a combined hip and knee muscle strengthening with knee muscle strengthening alone, pain was reduced in the combined hip and knee–strengthening group (SMD −0.99; 95% CI, −1.99 to 0.02; p = 0.05), whereas function showed a SMD of 0.70 (95% CI, 0.25–1.14; p = 0.002) again favoring the combined hip and knee–strengthening group. This meta-analysis showed evidence that the strengthening of the hip abductor muscles can reduce pain and function in patients with PFP. Because studies including highly trained patients with PFP are currently lacking, one should be careful when applying the clinical findings of this meta-analysis when working with athletes.

Intrinsic Mechanisms of Frequency Selectivity in the Proximal Dendrites of CA1 Pyramidal Neurons
Authors: Combe Crescent L. , Canavier Carmen C. , Gasparini Sonia
Published: August 2018

Gamma oscillations are thought to play a role in learning and memory. Two distinct bands, slow (25–50 Hz) and fast (65–100 Hz) gamma, have been identified in area CA1 of the rodent hippocampus. Slow gamma is phase locked to activity in area CA3 and presumably driven by the Schaffer collaterals (SCs). We used a combination of computational modeling andin vitroelectrophysiology in hippocampal slices of male rats to test whether CA1 neurons responded to SC stimulation selectively at slow gamma frequencies and to identify the mechanisms involved. Both approaches demonstrated that, in response to temporally precise input at SCs, CA1 pyramidal neurons fire preferentially in the slow gamma range regardless of whether the input is at fast or slow gamma frequencies, suggesting frequency selectivity in CA1 output with respect to CA3 input. In addition, phase locking, assessed by the vector strength, was more precise for slow gamma than fast gamma input. This frequency selectivity was greatly attenuated when the slow Ca2+-dependent K+(SK) current was removed from the model or blockedin vitrowith apamin. Perfusion of slices with BaCl2to block A-type K+channels tightened this frequency selectivity. Both the broad-spectrum cholinergic agonist carbachol and the muscarinic agonist oxotremorine-M greatly attenuated the selectivity. The more precise firing at slower frequencies persisted throughout all of the pharmacological manipulations conducted. We propose that these intrinsic mechanisms provide a means by which CA1 phase locks to CA3 at different gamma frequencies preferentiallyin vivoas physiological conditions change with behavioral demands.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTGamma frequency activity, one of multiple bands of synchronous activity, has been suggested to underlie various aspects of hippocampal function. Multisite recordings within the rat hippocampal formation indicate that different behavioral tasks are associated with synchronized activity between areas CA3 and CA1 at two different gamma bands: slow and fast gamma. In this study, we examine the intrinsic mechanisms that may allow CA1 to selectively “listen” to CA3 at slow compared with fast gamma and suggest mechanisms that gate this selectivity. Identifying the intrinsic mechanisms underlying differential gamma preference may help to explain the distinct types of CA3–CA1 synchronization observedin vivounder different behavioral conditions.
Recipes as Culinary Communication in a Canadian Art Museum: Lobster Soufflé, Beef Stroganoff, and the Tensions of Gourmet Cooking in the 1960s
Authors: Mihalache Irina D.
Published: August 2018

This article proposes that recipes are a form of culinary communication, suggesting that a recipe's biography is one of communicative moments, negotiations, and multiple voices. This framework is applied to The Art of Cooking, a series of culinary demonstrations organized by the Women's Committee at the Art Gallery of Toronto in the 1960s. The events, featuring chefs such as James Beard and Dione Lucas, were organized around the logics of gourmet cooking but departed from it when faced with the realities of women's daily lives. The research is based on archival documents and media coverage of these very popular events, which offer an opportunity to explore the mythologies and narratives about gourmet cooking in the 1960s. This article argues that communications about a recipe are part of the recipe's evolving biography and need to be analyzed alongside ingredients, instructions, makers, and users. In addition, the article advocates for the inclusion of women's committees’ histories to those of art museums in North America.

Sororidad en los procesos de envejecimiento femenino
Authors: Pérez Sánchez Lucia , Rábago de ávila Marcela , Guzmán Ortíz Mayra , Zamora Pérez Rosario de Jesús
Published: August 2018

La sororidad engloba las prácticas de colaboración y soporte en las relaciones entre mujeres y es el espacio propicio para la construcción de nuevas formas de signifi ar la vejez femenina. El objetivo de este estudio cualitativo fue describir y categorizar los tipos de configuraciones vinculares que se mantienen y los que se han transformado en pro a la sororidad en los procesos de envejecimiento femenino, por medio del análisis narrativo de una entrevista profunda grupal. Los resultados muestran la necesidad de implementar políticas y acciones en aras de disminuir el ageism con relación al envejecimiento de mujeres. La construcción de la sororidad ayuda en el empoderamiento colectivo en pro de su género. La sexualidad de la mujer mayor sigue siendo un tema pendiente en la agenda de la investigación y la discusión en los estudios feministas, lo que nos lleva a concluir que, a pesar de la existencia de diferencias individuales en los propios procesos de envejecimiento, las mujeres se experimentan y comparten en una misma condición histórica, por ello es en colectivo que la acción de la sororidad se pronuncia como vía en la generación de nuevas narrativas preferidas por las mujeres. Finalmente, se expone una propuesta para trabajar la percepción del cuerpo femenino en el proceso de envejecer, y la construcción de la sororidad, desde las prácticas narrativas de White y Epston.

Attitude towards oral hygiene among different socio-economic groups in Jaipur city, Rajasthan
Authors: Mishra Priyanka , Solanki Jitender , Choudhary Rahul , Sharma Chetan , Sharma Prachi , Shah Disha
Published: August 2018

Background. Socio-economic status is a total measure of a person’s work experience and of an individual or family economic and social position in relation to others, based on income, education and occupation.

Objective. The study was conducted to determine the differences in attitudes of people from different socioeconomic statuses towards their oral hygiene.

Method. A cross sectional study was conducted among subjects of various socioeconomic groups. Socioeconomic status and oral hygiene data was collected using Aggarwal scale having 22 items questionnaire addressing various aspects of knowledge and attitude of subjects towards oral health, and simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI- S), respectively. Statistical analysis was done using chi- square test and frequency distribution (P< 0.05 taken as significant).

Results: Among 500 subjects, 260 (52%) were found to have good oral hygiene, and most of them (43.46%) were from lower middle class group. A highly significant association was found between the oral hygiene and socioeconomic status (p=0.000).

Conclusion. It could be concluded that the socioeconomic status is not the only factor that determines a person’s attitude towards oral hygiene, but other factors such as lack of awareness, lack of availability of dentist nearby, fear and anxiety also play an important role.
The Healthy Neighborhood, Healthy Families Initiative
Authors: Kelleher Kelly , Reece Jason , Sandel Megan
Published: August 2018

Extreme poverty and the associated effects, such as blight, housing insecurity, and crime, have debilitating consequences on child development. Health care institutions are largely ineffective in changing those outcomes 1 child at a time. We present a case study of a hospital treating the adjacent neighborhood as a “patient” to address social determinants. The community represents a largely impoverished and housing-unstable neighborhood that underwent an assessment by community partners and treatment with a multifaceted housing intervention. Marked improvement in vacancy rates occurred, although outcome assessments for children are still being gathered. Several case learnings are presented, but the involvement and investment of pediatric health care clinicians and institutions increased the speed and size of neighborhood development after 80 years of redlining and institutional racism.

Published: August 2018

Kontruksi sosial bisnis lobster merupakan fenomena sosial yang berperan menjaga keberlanjutan bisnis lobster. Peran itu telah ditunjukkan melalui berbagai regulasi dan kelembagaan (asosiasi lobster) di Amerika Utara, Australia dan Uni Eropa. Di Indonesia asosiasi atau organisasi yang demikian belum ada. Keberadaan Permen KP No. 56/ 2016, merupakan kontruksi sosial yang penting untuk merintis pengembangan bisnis lobster Indonesia yang berkelanjutan. Tulisan ini mempelajari fenomena kontruksi sosial dari jaringan sosial bisnis lobster pada berbagai kawasan di Indonesia. Bahan tulisan ini, diperoleh dari studi pustaka, hasil survey di Simeulue tahun 2015 – 2016 dan wawancara narasumber yang terkait langsung dengan bisnis lobster pada bulan Juli 2017. Hasil analisis menunjukkan kebijakan terobosan harus dilakukan dalam mengembangkan bisnis lobster di Indonesia dengan membentuk kelembagaan Asosiasi Lobster Indonesia (ALI) atau Konsorsium Lobster Indonesia (KLI). ALI atau KLI berperan tidak hanya untuk berdagang, tetapi membantu pemerintah menjaga stok lobster dan mempromosikan teknik penangkapan/budidaya lobster, serta merancang kebijakan untuk mempengaruhi pasar global.Social construction of lobster business is a social phenomenon to maintain the sustainability of lobster business. The role has been showed by many regulation and institution (lobster associations) in North America, Australia and European Union. Such associations have not been established in Indonesia. The Ministerial Decree of Fisheries & Marine Affair No. 56/2016 is an important social construction as a pioneer to develop sustainable lobster business only in Indonesia. This paper studied the phenomenon of social construction from lobster business network in many areas in Indonesia. The source of data and information were obtained from literature study, survey in Simeulue from 2015-2016, and interview with sources directly related with lobster business in July 2017. Result analysis showed that an innovation in Indonesian lobster business policy should be made by creating Indonesian Lobster Association (ILA) or Indonesian Lobster Consotium (KLI). The role of ILA or KLI are not only related to lobster trading, but also to assist the government in maintaining lobster stock, promoting techniques of lobster cultivation, and designing policy to affect global market.
Tractarian Form as the Precursor to Forms of Life
Authors: Tejedor Chon
Published: August 2018

Interpreters are divided on the question of whether the phrase ‘form of life’ is used univocally in Wittgenstein’s later writings. Some univocal interpreters suggest that, for Wittgenstein, ‘form of life’ captures a uniquely biological notion: the biologically human form of life. Others suggest that it captures a cultural notion: the notion of differently enculturated forms of human life. Non-univocal interpreters, in contrast, argue that Wittgenstein does not use ‘form of life’ univocally, but that he uses it sometimes to highlight a cluster of biological notions and sometimes a cluster of cultural ones. The debate between univocal and non-univocal readers has generated a raft of intricate, illuminating literature on both sides. If it remains to an extent open, it is partly as a result of the fact that the textual evidence available on this matter, in Wittgenstein’s later published and unpublished writings, is so limited. In this paper, I argue that considering Wittgenstein’s earlier treatment of ‘form’ can help to shed light on his later treatment of ‘form of life’. More specifically I argue that revisiting the Tractatus’ treatment of ‘form’ gives us – perhaps surprisingly – reasons to support a non-univocal later reading of ‘forms of life’.
Aspect-Perception as a Philosophical Method
Authors: Agam-Segal Reshef
Published: August 2018

Inducing aspect-experiences – the sudden seeing of something anew, as when a face suddenly strikes us as familiar – can be used as a philosophical method. In seeing aspects, I argue, we let ourselves experience what it would be like to conceptualize something in a particular way, apart from any conceptual routine. We can use that experience to examine our ways of conceptualizing things, and re-evaluate the ways we make sense of them. I claim that we are not always passive with regard to these experiences, and explain how we can actively induce them. I distinguish this method from other standard Wittgensteinian philosophical methods.
Does Wittgenstein have a Method? The Challenges of Conant and Schulte
Authors: Wyss Sebastian
Published: August 2018

Does Wittgenstein have a method? There are two challenges to an affirmative answer. One is put forth by Schulte, who claims that Wittgenstein’s method is little more than a skill, and thus not a method in any ambitious sense of that word. Another is Conant’s view that the philosophy of the later Wittgenstein entertains not one method, but a variety of methods. I tackle these challenges by questioning what I take to be their presupposed conceptions of ‘method’ and conclude that we can indeed speak of Wittgenstein’s method in an interesting sense. Thereby, the concept of method will be elucidated and the sense in which Wittgenstein’s philosophy has a method clarified.

This article analyzes the availability of different diagnostic procedures of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the reimbursement landscape of drugs for NSCLC in countries of central and southeastern Europe (CEE).

 A survey was conducted by the Central European Cooperative Oncology Group. Results of the survey show that both availability and reimbursement of diagnoses of molecular alterations in NSCLC, the detection of which is essential for therapeutic decisions, varies widely between countries of CEE. Not only is “reflex” testing often substituted by analyses performed only “on demand,” but reimbursement of such assessments varies widely between unavailability and payments by the health care system or even pharmaceutical companies. It was concluded that a structured access to testing and reimbursement should be the aim in order to provide patients with appropriate therapeutic options.

Implications for Practice

Background

For clinically appropriate early-stage breast cancer patients, reflex criteria for Oncotype DX ordering (“the intervention”) were implemented at our comprehensive cancer center, which reduced time-to-adjuvant chemotherapy initiation. Our objective was to evaluate Oncotype DX ordering practices and chemotherapy use before and after implementation of the intervention.

Materials and Methods

We examined medical records for 498 patients who had definitive breast cancer surgery at our center. The post-intervention cohort consisted of 232 consecutive patients who had Oncotype DX testing after reflex criteria implementation. This group was compared to a retrospective cohort of 266 patients who were diagnosed and treated prior to reflex criteria implementation, including patients who did and did not have Oncotype DX ordered. Factors associated with Oncotype DX ordering pre- and post-intervention were examined. We used multivariate logistic regression to evaluate factors associated with chemotherapy receipt among patients with Oncotype DX testing.

Results

The distribution of Oncotype DX scores, the proportion of those having Oncotype DX testing (28.9% vs. 34.1%) and those receiving chemotherapy (14.3% vs. 19.4%), did not significantly change between pre- and post-intervention groups. Age ≤65 years, stage II, grade 2, 1–3+ nodes, and tumor size >2 cm were associated with higher odds of Oncotype DX testing. Among patients having Oncotype DX testing, node status and Oncotype DX scores were significantly associated with chemotherapy receipt.

Conclusion

Our criteria for reflex Oncotype DX ordering appropriately targeted patients for whom Oncotype DX would typically be ordered by providers. No significant change in the rate of Oncotype DX ordering or chemotherapy use was observed after reflex testing implementation.
A method for evaluating flood hazard and flood risk of east Bangkok plain, Thailand
Authors: Tingsanchali Tawatchai , Keokhumcheng Yuddhana
Published: August 2018

A new method for estimating flood hazards was developed in this study for flat and low-lying areas wherein floods have low flow velocity, large depth and long duration. The hazard was computed as a function of flood depth and duration, not only depth as in the past. The study area of 624 km2 in suburban Bangkok, Thailand, was divided into small grids, each 200 m by 200 m. Because flood depth and duration have different dimensions, this new method categorised the depth and duration into four groups of small, medium, large and largest magnitudes represented by the integers 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The depth integer and duration integer of each grid were weighted by the factors μ and (1 − μ), respectively, and summed up to obtain the flood hazard indicator. The factor μ was assumed to be between 0 and 1 and adjusted by trial and error until the computed hazard satisfactorily satisfied the hazard estimated from field and questionnaire surveys. For flood damage vulnerability, an established methodology was applied considering the vulnerability as a function of population density and land use assets at risk. By multiplying the computed hazard and vulnerability, the flood risk maps of three return periods were constructed.

Conventional steel-reinforced ordinary Portland cement concrete is prone to corrosion. Geopolymer concrete is a new durable cementitious material, and the glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) is an attractive alternative to steel because of GFRP's compelling physical and mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and electromagnetic transparency. This study investigates the structural properties of 11 air-cured square geopolymer concrete columns reinforced with GFRP bars at various stirrup spacings of 50, 100 and 150 mm. The specimens were tested under varying loading conditions to generate interaction diagrams for comparison with theoretical predictions from existing codes and standards. Effective confinement and higher ductility were achieved by reducing the stirrup spacing. High strains indicating buckling or rupture of the longitudinal GFRP bars and confinement of the core were measured. The comparison between the experimental data and design codes showed that the load-carrying capacity of the columns were favourably under-predicted from a design viewpoint when the compressive GFRP bars were excluded. The strength of the concentrically loaded columns was up to 39·6% higher than the code predictions. The GFRP-reinforced geopolymer concrete columns showed a 10·8% average increment in the load-carrying capacity over their plain concrete sections.

Botrytis cinerea
(teleomorph: Botryotinia fuckeliana)
causes gray mold disease on vegetable crops in greenhouses. Profound knowledge
on pathogen diversity is necessary for efficiently disease management. In this
study, forty-two B. cinerea isolates
collected from 36 different greenhouses in Antalya province of Turkey were
investigated. Twelve SRAP (sequence-related amplified polymorphism) and 18 ISSR
(inter simple sequence repeat) primers producing high polymorphic fragments
were used to genetic diversity of B.
cinerea isolates infecting dill, basil, lettuce, bean, cucumber, tomato,
pepper and eggplant. The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average
analysis (UPGMA) was used to evaluate of combined ISSR and SRAP data showing a
similarity range 0.15-0.90 among the isolates. Cophenetic correlation of the
tree was high level (r=0.93). Interestingly, cluster analysis showed a
divergent group consisting of lettuce isolates which were genetically different
from the other isolates. On the other hand, transposable elements (Flipper and Boty) were detected among
isolates from all the hosts. Isolates containing only the Fliper element were detected. The results showed that genetically
characterized B. cinerea populations
by a high level of genetic diversity were associated with genotype flow and the
evolutionary potential of B. cinerea.
In further studies, the newly tested molecular markers are useful and can be
suggested for analyzing of genetic diversity and population structure of this
pathogen on different hosts.

As representações sociais a respeito do sobrepeso corporal estão relacionadas com a compreensão do pensamento social acerca do corpo, uma entidade física e simbólica resultante da interação entre o organismo natural e o ambiente social. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever as representações sociais sobre o controle de peso corporal para pessoas com sobrepeso corporal engajadas nessas práticas. Método: Participaram desta pesquisa 20 sujeitos. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista em profundidade e tratados com software IRAMUTEQ para classificação hierárquica descendente e análise de similitude. Resultados: O controle de peso foi relacionado diretamente à prática da alimentação e dietas, seguido do exercício físico como componente obrigatório para a manutenção da boa forma e saúde.  Conclusão: Estética e saúde compuseram o mesmo campo representacional em todas as descrições, sendo possível constatar a reprodução de padrões normativos acerca da beleza e da saúde corporal neste grupo de pessoas que buscam controle de peso corporal.

As políticas de ações afirmativas assumiram diversas formas em diferentes países, mas quase sempre ocasionaram debates e suscitaram posicionamentos diversos na sociedade. No Brasil esse tipo de política é marcado, principalmente, pelo sistema de cotas ou reserva de vagas em concursos e processos seletivos para determinadas minorias. Esse trabalho se enquadra dentro da psicologia social, tendo enfoque no campo teórico das representações sociais. Seu objetivo consiste em entender de que forma o pensamento social de estudantes cotistas e não cotistas se constituem em relação ao sistema de cotas para ingresso na universidade. Para alcançar esse objetivo foi aplicado um questionário, que continha questões em formato de evocação livre com o termo indutor “cotas” e questões em formato de itens de Likert com vistas a averiguar o posicionamento dos sujeitos em relação a diferentes tipos de cotas. Esse instrumento foi aplicado em 135 estudantes da Universidade XX, sendo 63 cotistas e 72 não cotistas.  As análises desses dados foram feitas através das técnicas da análise prototípica e de similitude. Quando comparados, os grupos de cotistas e não cotistas, é possível notar acentuada diferença entre as suas representações sociais e seu campo atitudinal, o que pode justificar o aparecimento de argumentos diversos e contrários na sociedade sobre as cotas.
Psicologia e Pós-Verdade: a Emergência da Subjetividade Digital
Authors: Guareschi Pedrinho
Published: August 2018

A partir de uma análise crítica do que se entende por Pós-verdade, o trabalho discute dois pontos interligados. No primeiro investiga o importante papel que a Psicologia está desempenhando dentro de uma nova ambiência sócio-antropológica, com repercussões políticas e, principalmente, econômicas. O segundo ponto detém-se no aprofundamento do conceito de subjetividade. Mostra como estão sendo atingidas, com o predomínio do tecnoliberalismo que faz uso das novas mídias, diferentes dimensões do ser humano. Esse processo propicia a construção de uma nova subjetividade, que poderia ser denominada de subjetividade digital. A investigação procura evidenciar que na implementação dessas práticas midiáticas é o próprio ser humano que está sendo objeto de manipulação. Aprofunda-se a administração digital da vida humana que vai sendo transformada num novo objeto de consumo. As novas mídias procuram atingir todas as sequências da vivência do ser humano produzindo uma mercantilização integral da vida
