The periodization of resistance exercise is often touted as the most effective strategy for optimizing muscle size and strength adaptations. This narrative persists despite a lack of experimental evidence to demonstrate its superiority. In addition, the general adaptation syndrome, which provides the theoretical framework underlying periodization, does not appear to provide a strong physiological rationale that periodization is necessary. Hans Selye conducted a series of rodent studies which used toxic stressors to facilitate the development of the general adaptation syndrome. To our knowledge, normal exercise in humans has never been shown to produce a general adaptation syndrome. We question whether there is any physiological rationale that a periodized training approach would facilitate greater adaptations compared with nonperiodized approaches employing progressive overload. The purpose of this article is to briefly review currently debated topics within strength and conditioning and provide some practical insight regarding the implications these reevaluations of the literature may have for resistance exercise and periodization. In addition, we provide some suggestions for the continued advancement within the field of strength and conditioning.

Introduction

DNA methylation may be one of the biological mechanisms underlying the health benefits of physical activity (PA). Our objective was to determine the association between PA and genome-wide DNA methylation at CpG level.

Methods

We designed a two-stage epigenome wide association study. In the discovery stage, we used 619 individuals from the REgistre GIroní del COR cohort. Next, we validated the CpG suggestively associated with PA (P < 10−5) in two independent populations (n = 1735 and 190, respectively). Physical activity was assessed with validated questionnaires and classified as light PA (LPA), moderate PA, vigorous PA, moderate-vigorous PA (MVPA) and total PA. We examined linear and nonlinear associations and meta-analyzed the results in the three populations. The linear associations were meta-analyzed with a fixed-effects model and the P values of the nonlinear associations with the Stouffer and Fisher methods. We established a P value threshold that fulfilled Bonferroni criteria over the number of CpG analyzed (0.05/421,940 = 1.185 × 10−7).

Results

In the meta-analyses, two CpG sites had a statistically significant nonlinear association with MVPA. cg24155427 (P = 1.19 × 10−9), located in an intergenic region in chromosome 1, has been previously associated with smoking, lupus, and aging. cg09565397 (P = 1.59 × 10−7), located within DGAT1 in chromosome 8, which encodes an enzyme involved in triacylglycerol synthesis.

Conclusions

This population-based study identified two new, differentially methylated CpG sites with a nonlinear dose–response relationship to MVPA. These associations must be additionally validated and may be considered for further research on the biological mechanisms underlying health benefits of PA.

Introduction/Purpose

Limited studies have examined the association of physical activity with reproductive hormones, DNA methylation, and pubertal status among adolescents.

Methods

Among 248 boys and 271 girls, we estimated daily physical activity levels based on 7 d of wrist-worn accelerometer data. We used an isotemporal substitution paradigm and sex-stratified regression models to examine the association of physical activity levels with 1) testosterone, cortisol, progesterone, and androstenedione concentrations; 2) DNA methylation of long interspersed nucleotide (LINE-1) repeats and the genes H19, hydroxysteroid (11-Beta) dehydrogenase 2 (HSD11B2), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA) from blood leukocytes; and 3) Tanner stages, adjusted for age, BMI, and socioeconomic status.

Results

In boys, substituting 30 min of moderate physical activity for 30 min of sedentary behavior per day was associated with 29% (−49%, 0%) of lower testosterone and 29% (4%, 61%) of higher progesterone. Substituting 30 min of light physical activity for sedentary behavior was associated with 13% (−22%, −2%) of lower progesterone. Among girls, 30 min of additional sedentary behavior was associated with 8% (−15%, 0%) of lower testosterone and 24% (8%, 42%) of higher progesterone concentrations. Substituting 30 min of moderate physical activity for sedentary behavior was associated with 15% (0%, 31%) of higher cortisol, whereas substituting the same amount of light physical activity for sedentary behavior was associated with 22% (−39%, 0%) of lower progesterone. Substituting 30 min of vigorous physical activity for sedentary behavior per day was associated with almost six times higher levels (5.83, 95% confidence interval = 1.79–9.86) of HSD11B2 methylation in boys.

Conclusions

Accelerometer-measured daily physical activity was associated with reproductive hormones and HSD11B2 DNA methylation, differed by sex and activity intensity levels.
Actores y roles en el bautismo de socorro (Lugo, s. XVI-XIX)
Authors: González López Tamara
Published: October 2019

El fallecimiento de un niño sin ser bautizado suponía privarlo de su entrada en la religión católica. Para evitarlo, el bautismo de socorro se convirtió en un recurso necesario y vital, normalmente administrado por mujeres que atendían el parto. La Iglesia, temiendo la suplantación de sus funciones, estableció ciertas normas que derivaron en una variación de los roles limitando la capacidad de actuación de las mujeres. El bautismo de socorro condicionaba el padrinazgo posterior del recién nacido y, por ende, la red social que se creaba a su alrededor.
Viejos y nuevos métodos educativos entre hibridaciones, coexistencias y solapamientos. La reforma educativa en la pluma de un ilustrado español: Juan Antonio González Cañaveras
Authors: Perrupato Sebastián Domingo
Published: October 2019

Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en la Monarquía Hispánica surgieron distintos proyectos de educación que, a partir de un análisis crítico sobre el tema, bregaron por una reforma en la enseñanza partiendo de lugares disimiles. En este sentido, los ilustrados dieron un lugar por demás destacado a este tópico escribiendo sobre sus deficiencias y generando propuestas de innovación. Dos temáticas dentro de la educación parecieron ganar terreno: por un lado, la secularización de la enseñanza y por otro los métodos educativos. La obra de Juan Antonio González Cañaveras se ha dedicado fundamentalmente a la segunda pretendiendo una reforma integral de la educación.El trabajo que se presenta pretende analizar los métodos educativos propuestos por González Cañaveras en Plan de educación, o exposición de un nuevo método para estudiar las lenguas, geografía, cronología, historia, filosofía, matemáticas (1767) y Modo de enseñar las lenguas y ciencias que conviene a un noble bien educado (1794). Entendiendo que la primera es parte constitutiva de la segunda, podemos analizar como en ambas coexisten y se solapan viejos y nuevos métodos educativos, producto de la dialéctica que entre la tradición y la modernización operaba en la Monarquía Hispánica de entonces.

Authors: Goyal Tanvi , Javaid Toseef , Goyal Anirudh , Khan Zubair
Published: October 2019

Necrosis developing 4 weeks after the initial acute pancreatitis attack is known as walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN). Complications of WOPN include spontaneous rupture into the peritoneal cavity or hollow viscus obstruction by compression of surrounding structures, including the colon, stomach, duodenum, and common bile duct. There have also been cases of pseudocyst rupture into blood vessels. This case report is unique in that it highlights a patient with inferior vena cava compression leading to hemodynamic instability due to the mass effect of WOPN and has not been previously reported.
Predicting diabetic self-care management based on the theory of planned behavior among elderly with type 2 diabetes in Thailand
Authors: Wongrith Paleeratana
Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes, especially in the elderly, continues to plague the world. Thailand a developing country is not immune to these ravage effects and their distressing upsurge in health and economic societal burdens. Self-care management is an essential strategy to prevent complications and reduce type 2 diabetes complications.
AIM: This study aimed to examine the treatment outcome and factors predicting diabetes self-care behaviors among elderly in Thailand.
METHODS: A cross-sectional correlative predictive design using multiple linear regression models to evaluate data in elderly type 2 diabetics in Thailand (August through December 2017) to assess perceived behavioral control on diabetic self-care management. One hundred thirty-four participants data were collected via questionnaire along with individual health records becoming the foundation of this study.
RESULTS: Most patients controlled glycemic outcome (77.9 %) through self-care behaviors at moderate rates (majority 55.9%). Subjective norms and perceived control strongly correlated with behavioral intention and self-care behaviors. Perceived behavioral control was the most important factor predicting intentions ( 4.025, p .01) and self-care management behavior (15.258, p .001). Patients responding to items regarding self-care behavior for diet, exercise and medication adherence showed favorable outcomes.
CONCLUSION: More than half of the patients had moderate levels in self-care management and the majority had good glycemic outcomes. From the analysis, we find that perceived behavioral control is critical to predicting behavioral intention and diabetic self-care behavior among the elderly.

Kulturpolitik in Thüringen
Authors: Flohr Michael
Published: October 2019

Kaum ein Politikfeld ist so heterogen zusammengesetzt, normativ aufgeladen und von symbolischen Handlungen geprägt wie die Kulturpolitik. Über die Funktionsweise dieses Feldes liegen bislang nur vereinzelte politikwissenschaftliche Studien vor. Michael Flohr wählt das selbsternannte »Kulturland Thüringen« als Fallbeispiel, um Handlungsfelder, Praktiken, Governance-Formen und Netzwerke in der Kulturpolitik zu untersuchen. Die Analyse stützt sich auf eine umfangreiche qualitative und quantitative Datenbasis und belegt: Kulturpolitik befindet sich in einer systemimmanenten Sinn- und Strukturkrise.

Die Humanisierung des Arbeitslebens
Authors: Kleinöder Nina , Müller Stefan , Uhl Karsten
Published: October 2019

Nina Kleinöder, Stefan Müller und Karsten Uhl leiten die Bemühungen des Sammelbandes um eine Verortung von »Humanisierung« der Arbeit« in einem breiteren Kontext des 20. Jahrhunderts ein. Ausgehend vom Bundesprogramm »Humanisierung des Arbeitslebens« (1974-1989) rückt dazu eine allgemeine Historisierung der Geschichte der »Humanisierung« in den Fokus. Die Herausgeber*innen loten hinsichtlich der transnationalen Sozialgeschichte, der Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensgeschichte sowie der Wissens- und Technikgeschichte verschiedene Forschungsperspektiven aus, an die der Sammelband anschließt. Sie grenzen dabei mit dem im Sammelband gewählten Zugriff einer Geschichte des HdA-Programms und der Debatte technischer und ökonomischer Entwicklung der letzten Jahrzehnte die Geschichte der »Humanisierung der Arbeit« deutlich von den sozialhistorischen Anfängen ab: Insbesondere die Frage der Qualität der Arbeit (und der Auseinandersetzung darum) spielt in der historischen Analyse der versammelten Beiträge eine wichtige Rolle.
Der Erste Weltkrieg als Ausgangspunkt der Humanisierung des Arbeitslebens
Authors: Uhl Karsten
Published: October 2019

Der Beitrag arbeitet die katalytische Funktion des Ersten Weltkrieges für die weitere Diskussion um die Vereinbarkeit von Rationalisierung und Humanisierung des Arbeitslebens im 20. Jahrhundert heraus. 1917 drängte das deutsche Rüstungsministerium staatliche Rüstungsbetriebe, Fabrikpflegerinnen einzustellen. Als wirkungsvolles Druckmittel zur Verbreitung dieser Maßnahme wurde auch die Vergabe von Rüstungsaufträgen an die Privatwirtschaft an diese Voraussetzung gekoppelt. Noch während des Krieges wurde die Ausbildung dieser Fabrikpflegerinnen institutionalisiert. Ähnliche Diskussionen über das während des Krieges zum Massenphänomen gewordene »Problem« der Frauenarbeit in der Industrie wurden auch in anderen europäischen Staaten und den USA geführt. Ein wichtiger Markierungspunkt ist hierfür die wichtige Rolle, die solche Fragen in dem wichtigsten englischsprachigen Werk zur Industriearchitektur von Moritz Kahn spielen.
Poststrukturalistische Perspektiven auf soziale Bewegungen
Authors: Hagemann Ingmar , Leinius Johanna , Vey Judith
Published: October 2019

Der Beitrag rekonstruiert das heterogene Feld der poststrukturalistischen Perspektiven auf soziale Bewegungen und zeigt ihren analytischen Mehrwert für die soziale Bewegungsforschung auf. Wir argumentieren, dass sie soziale Bewegungen als Ausdruck gesamtgesellschaftlicher Dynamiken verstehen, woraus eine analytische und empirische Blickverschiebung radikaler Kontingenzakzeptanz folgt. Thematisiert werden die Wechselbeziehung von sozialer Struktur und Subjekt, der Zusammenhang von Mobilisierung und Identitätsbildung sowie die Bedeutung von Macht für die Formierung von sozialen Bewegungen und ihren Subjekten als wesentliche Merkmale einer poststrukturalistisch inspirierten Bewegungsforschung.

Mathias Krams schlägt in diesem Beitrag das der Cultural Political Economy (CPE) entnommene Konzept der strategischen Selektivität als produktive Erweiterung einer poststrukturalistischen Perspektive auf Framing-Prozesse vor. Durch eine solche Integration ist es möglich, die Wirkweise von Mechanismen zu analysieren, durch die der Herrschaftskontext und gesellschaftliche Dynamiken auf Framing-Prozesse einwirken und die ungleiche Ausgangsbedingungen schaffen, unter denen Deutungskämpfe stattfinden.
Koloniales Erbe in Museen
Authors: Greve Anna
Published: October 2019

Mit dem Koalitionsvertrag von 2018 wurde das koloniale Erbe als Teil der deutschen Geschichte anerkannt. In einem Europa, in dem Nachfahren einstiger Kolonialmächte zusammen mit Menschen aus ehemals kolonisierten Ländern leben, gibt es sehr verschiedene Blicke in die Vergangenheit - geeint jedoch im Wunsch nach gesellschaftlichen Grundwerten in der Gegenwart. Daraus ergeben sich zentrale Fragen für die postkoloniale Museologie: Wie geht man mit Sammlungsgut aus kolonialen Kontexten um? Welche Erinnerungspolitik soll vertreten und wie kann struktureller Rassismus abgebaut werden? Anna Greve führt zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen erstmals die Kritische Weißseinsforschung mit ihren Begriffen und Methoden in die praktische Museumsarbeit ein.

Published: October 2019

An interdisciplinary team of university faculty members collaborated to develop an intervention to address a deficiency in student information literacy skills. The team developed video modules that instruct users how to create, use and maintain a ProQuest RefWorks account; a citation management software (CMS) tool that is compatible with Google Docs word processing. The research team collected YouTube and ProQuest RefWorks analytics as well as pre/post survey data from university students who participated in a pilot using the video modules. Results indicate that the modules impacted student information literacy skills; specifically, in-text citation and referencing. Based on the results, we also describe next steps for this research.
Faculty Beliefs about the Nature of Intelligence
Authors: Rubin Lisa Melanie , Dringenberg Emily A , Lane Jessica J , Wefald Andrew J
Published: October 2019

Educators shape the learning experiences of students in the classroom. Their views on intelligence influence the beliefs students have about their own abilities to learn. Astin (2016) cautioned, "The faculty culture regards smartness in an almost reverential fashion" (p. 4). Research on academic mindsets has focused mainly on secondary education (e.g., Dweck, 2016; Yeager & Dweck, 2012). There is a gap in the literature about educator views about intelligence in higher education. The purpose of this study was to measure the beliefs that faculty from various academic disciplines hold about the nature of their own intelligence and the intelligence of their students. Faculty at one land grant institution participated in an eight-term Mindset survey. Position was the only statistically significant demographic factor.
Fractura de roca andesita y análisis espectral de señales de emisión acústica
Authors: Filipussi Dino Alberto , Muszkats Juan Pablo , Sassano Miryam Patricia , Zitto Miguel Eduardo , Piotrkowski Rosa
Published: October 2019

Contexto: En las rocas sometidas a esfuerzos se producen señales de emisión acústica (EA). Esta y la información sísmica son complementarias tanto en sus aplicaciones como en su base teórica. Por ende, el estudio de frecuencias características en las señales de emisión acústica tiene relevancia para comprender la propagación de ondas sísmicas en la Tierra.

Método: Se realizó un ensayo de compresión uniaxial en probetas cilíndricas de roca andesita, llevadas hasta la rotura. Se registraron las señales de EA obtenidas durante el ensayo. Un análisis de las frecuencias de estas señales cabe en el contexto de un modelo elemental de foco sísmico, el cual describe el avance y la propagación de ondas durante la fractura de un material frágil. A partir de los espectros de Fourier de las señales, convenientemente representados en escala logarítmica, se obtiene la frecuencia esquina. Este parámetro da cuenta del tamaño de las fisuras durante el avance del daño en el material sometido a esfuerzo.

Resultados: En un primer análisis se determinó la frecuencia esquina. En un segundo análisis, se filtraron las señales para distintas bandas de frecuencias con transformada Wavelet y se obtuvo el Wavelet Energy b-value (bWE) correspondiente.

Conclusiones: El estudio de la evolución del bWE para las distintas bandas de frecuencia permitió determinar frecuencias características que se pueden asociar a distintos mecanismos de fracturas en las rocas.

Assessing hospital readiness for radio frequency identification device implementation in Iran: a conceptual model
Authors: Sadeghi Malihe , Rahmati Pakzad , Pour Zahra Ramezani , Goharinejad Elham , Kahouei Mehdi
Published: October 2019

Background

To avoid possible failures and ineffective use of economic resources, necessary infrastructure must be provided before implementing new technologies in a developing country like Iran.

Objectives

To assess the degree of readiness for implementing a radio frequency identification device (RFID) system in hospitals in Iran.

Methods

We adopted a descriptive design and structural equation modeling (LISREL statistical software package) to analyze data collected from the hospitals affiliated with the Semnan University of Medical Sciences. All managers, physicians, residents, nurses, and staff members of the medical records and information technology sectors participated in this study. A questionnaire was designed by the investigators to collect ideas from the participants about organizational readiness, cultural readiness, and human resource readiness in implementing RFID.

Results

We found a significant positive correlation between the variables studied. Human resource readiness significantly predicted RFID implementation, with cultural readiness playing the role of a mediator variable. Cultural readiness itself was influenced by organizational readiness (P < 0.01). We found 0.346 (standard deviation: 0.374) changes in an arbitrary unit of the possibility of RFID implementation was attributed to human resources and cultural readiness.

Conclusions

Paying attention to cultural factors, which play an important role in implementing technological projects such as RFID in developing countries like Iran, can reduce the risk of failure. Hospitals should strengthen organizational factors and improve the support of top rank managers when implementing technological projects. By so doing, they will promote cultural readiness, prepare human resources, and win the cooperation of personnel for such projects.

Microalgal blooms in a eutrophic estuary (Golden Horn, Sea of Marmara) following a remediation effort
Authors: Tas Seyfettin
Published: October 2019

The present work describes microalgal blooms that occurred in a eutrophic estuary (Golden Horn, Sea of Marmara, Turkey) between October 2013 and September 2014 following a remediation effort. The relationships between bloom-forming microalgal species and environmental factors were investigated during the study period. The changing environmental conditions (e.g. increasing water transparency and salinity) after seawater transfer to the Golden Horn Estuary stimulated phytoplankton growth with dense algal blooms. Annual average values of Secchi depth, salinity and dissolved oxygen increased in comparison with those in an earlier study in 2009–2010. Nine microalgal species, which consisted of four diatoms, two dinoflagellates, one cryptophycean, one raphidophycean and one euglenophycean, formed the blooms with water discolorations during spring and summer. The species that reached the highest bloom density were Plagioselmis prolonga (62.4 × 106 cells l−1) among crytophyceans, Heterocapsa triquetra (21.8 × 106 cells l−1) among dinoflagellates and Skeletonema marinoi (39 × 106 cells l−1) among diatoms. The abundance of dinoflagellates and phytoflagellates increased particularly in the upper estuary when compared to diatoms and their rapid growth and bloom formation revealed that they have a wide range of tolerance to changing environmental conditions and a strong ability to compete with other species in this study area.

Determination of indirect reference intervals of vitamin B12 for outpatients admitted to primary healthcare centers
Authors: Avci Esin , Aslan Diler
Published: October 2019

Background

Vitamin B12 deficiency is still an important nutritional problem worldwide. There is no consensus on the reference intervals (RIs) for vitamin B12. In order to establish vitamin B12 RIs, we used the database obtained from a primary healthcare organization and estimated region-specific intervals.

Methods

Vitamin B12 results were collected from our laboratory information system (LIS) between January 2014 and July 2014. We excluded the results of the individuals who had megaloblastic and microcytic anemia. After outlier detection and exclusion, we estimated the RIs of the “1–12, 13–18, 19–64 and 65 +” age groups according to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) method. Statistical differences were examined between groups.

Results

The reference limits and 90% confidence intervals (CIs) (n = 14,748, 3790 male, age: 1–96; 10,958 female, age: 1–115) were estimated with 90% CIs as 106 (104–107)–393 (391–395) pmol/L. We also estimated the reference limits of the “1–12, 13–18, 19–64 and 65 +” age groups to be 127–459, 108–398, 106–384 and 104–426 pmol/L, respectively. There was no difference between genders in all age groups.

Conclusions

Both the lower and upper limits of the estimated RIs were found to be lower than the reference limits recommended by the manufacturer. Our findings revealed that the RIs of vitamin B12 should be given for the “1–12, 13–18, 19–64 and 65 +” age groups separately. The big data obtained from laboratories should be used for the determination of its population health status. As our population is composed of outpatients, the estimated vitamin B12 RIs may establish the basic information for the examination of our population for vitamin B12 deficiency.

Paper relics are important historical and cultural heritages. However, the paper relics are at risk of ageing, damage and disappearance. In order to delay the aging of paper, improve the strength of paper, solve the problem of poor permeability and stability of traditional resins to paper, the polyurethane was synthesized by polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) and low molecular weight hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) trimer, and the chemical and physical properties of paper samples were tested. Results showed the paper coated by HTPDM-modified polyurethane liquid had good mechanical property, the tensile strength was increased from 1105 to 3299 N/m, the folding endurance was increased from 20 to 1024; and had good gloss and brightness; after thermal aging, coated paper can effectively maintain tensile strength, delay folding resistance and tearing strength loss; after acid stability test, the loss ratio of tensile strength was decreased from 34.2 % to 15.7 %, folding endurance was decreased from 57.1 % to 9.7 %; after alkali stability test, the loss ratio of tensile strength was decreased from 29.3 % to 6.6 %, folding endurance was decreased from 82.9 % to 22.0 %. Therefore, the prepared polyurethane material has great application prospects in the protection of paper.
Zwischen Königsgrab und Wickbold 1 – Jungbronzezeitliche Siedlungsreste in der Sakrallandschaft bei Seddin in der Prignitz. Vorbericht über die Prospektionsgrabungen der Jahre 2015 bis 2018
Authors: Heske Immo
Published: October 2019

In den Jahren 2015 bis 2018 fanden auf einem flachen Plateau zwischen dem berühmten Seddiner Großgrabhügel und dem „Wickboldschen Wäldchen“, das ebenfalls durch herausragende Bestattungen in Grabhügeln geprägt ist, erste Prospektionsgrabungen zur Ermittlung einer möglichen zeitgleichen Siedlung im Zeithorizont der Perioden V bis VI statt. Die Ausgrabungen lieferten Hinweise auf die Befunderhaltung und erbrachten flachmuldige Gruben sowie eine Vielzahl an Pfostengruben. Weitere Befunde lassen auf ein Werkstattareal schließen. Besonders aufschlussreich waren die Beobachtungen zum Auftreten und der Verteilung der Funde, die überwiegend Keramik, aber auch Steingeräte und wenige Bronzen umfassen. Das Fundmaterial kann typologisch in den Zeitraum der jüngeren Bronze- und frühen Eisenzeit gestellt werden. Die Prospektionsgrabungen lassen den Schluss zu, dass zwischen den beiden Bestattungskomplexen die zeitgleiche Siedlung gelegen hat. Mit der räumlichen Ausweitung der Grabungsaktivitäten im Jahr 2018 deutet sich an, dass es sich bei dem Fundplatz bei Seddin um eine jungbronzezeitliche Großsiedlung gehandelt haben könnte.

A VIOLAÇÃO DA INTEGRIDADE SEXUAL DA CRIANÇA E DO ADOLESCENTE E O FENÔMENO DA REVITIMIZAÇÃO CAUSADO PELAS REPARTIÇÕES PÚBLICAS: A OITIVA ESPECIALIZADA
Authors: Firmino Rodrigues Gustavo , Pessôa Ulisses
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo tem o intuito de explanar o procedimento de produção de provas realizado na Vara da Infância e Juventude do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, especialmente no que tange a oitiva de crianças e adolescentes que tiveram sua integridade sexual violadas. A infância, momento de descobrir, de desenvolvimento e proteção. É nesta fase que os vínculos afetivos devem ser estabelecidos, a fim de afastar qualquer tipo de omissão e negligência. É preciso humanização e sensibilidade, não somente familiar, mas como um todo organismo que só funcionam juntos, dependentes para o pleno funcionamento vital. Garantir a integridade sexual da criança e do adolescente é dever do Estado, da família e da sociedade, conforme dispõe o Artigo 227 da Constituição Federal, de forma que não fiquem expostos a qualquer tipo de negligência ou violência. Embora ocorra a omissão do dever Estatal, familiar e social, ainda assim, qualquer procedimento adotado no atendimento de criança e adolescente vítima deve cooperar para que a integridade psicológica seja reestabelecida, isto porque se tratam de indivíduos de tão pouca idade e que ainda estão em processo de desenvolvimento. Neste sentido, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica no Poder Judiciário do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, diretamente na equipe técnica da Vara da Infância e Juventude da Comarca da Capital e Regional de Campo Grande, e ao NUDECA (Núcleo de Depoimento Especial da Criança e do Adolescente), a fim de analisar e avaliar, de forma objetiva, a escuta especializada.

Authors: De Andrade Carvalho Juana Regina , Cavaliere Tavares Felipe
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo versa sobre a importância da Criminalização da LGBTFobia no Brasil, ressaltando o efeito simbólico para a comunidade LGBT+ que vive sofrendo com a discriminação diariamente, pois a referida criminalização possui amparo quanto o Princípio da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana. Frequentemente, os LGBT+ têm seus direitos violados pela homofobia, e o estado esta ineficaz quanto a uma Criminalização destas condutas homofóbicas. Cabe ressaltar que compete ao estado à proteção de cada individuo, e consequentemente também da população LGBT+ ser incluída nesse rol protetivo, pois existem projetos de leis e ações que possam amenizem este sofrimento, mas há décadas estão parados congresso. Observaremos o grande número de casos de homofobia no Brasil, sendo o mesmo o país que mais mata LGBT+ no mundo, e uma lei que diminua está situação seria fundamental.

Aldosterone, which plays a key role in the regulation of blood pressure, is produced by zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells of the adrenal cortex. Exaggerated overproduction of aldosterone from ZG cells causes primary hyperaldosteronism. In ZG cells, calcium entry through voltage-gated calcium channels plays a central role in the regulation of aldosterone secretion. Previous studies in animal adrenals and human adrenal adrenocortical cell lines suggest that the T-type but not the L-type calcium channel activity drives aldosterone production. However, recent clinical studies show that somatic mutations in L-type calcium channels are the second most prevalent cause of aldosterone-producing adenoma. Our objective was to define the roles of T and L-type calcium channels in regulating aldosterone secretion from human adrenals. We find that human adrenal ZG cells mainly express T-type CaV3.2/3.3 and L-type CaV1.2/1.3 calcium channels. TTA-P2, a specific inhibitor of T-type calcium channel subtypes, reduced basal aldosterone secretion from acutely prepared slices of human adrenals. Surprisingly, nifedipine, the prototypic inhibitor of L-type calcium channels, also decreased basal aldosterone secretion, suggesting that L-type calcium channels are active under basal conditions. In addition, TTA-P2 or nifedipine also inhibited aldosterone secretion stimulated by angiotensin II- or elevations in extracellular K+. Remarkably, blockade of either L- or T-type calcium channels inhibits basal and stimulated aldosterone production to a similar extent. Low concentrations of TTA-P2 and nifedipine showed additive inhibitory effect on aldosterone secretion. We conclude that T- and L-type calcium channels play equally important roles in controlling aldosterone production from human adrenals.
Effect of Transition Metals Oxide Additives on the Properties of Mixed-Alkali Glass for Electric Insulating Coatings on Aluminum
Authors: Goleus V. , Salei A.
Published: October 2019

In order to reduce the cost of the thick-film technology of microcircuits and heating elements, as well as to expand its areas of use, it became necessary to expand the range of materials that, along with ceramics and steel, can also be used as substrates for these products. One of these advanced materials is aluminum. Electrically insulated coatings on metals are subjected to repeated heating and cooling while their produce and use, which promotes the creation of temperature stresses in the coating and leads to their chipping. Therefore, in order to improve the water resistance and adhesion strength of electrical insulation coatings on aluminum, CuO, ZrO2 and Bi2O3 additives were examined. There was found an increase in water resistance with a simultaneous increase in the adhesion strength of the enamel coating with an aluminum substrate with the addition of not more than 3 pts. wt. of copper oxide (II), up to 1 pts. wt. of zirconium oxide (IV), and up to 4 pts. wt. of bismuth oxide (III) w.r.t. 100 pts. wt. of glass.

Populations of spiny lobsters worldwide are threatened by overfishing, while its supply from aquaculture is currently insufficient to meet the market demand. This current study investigated the genetic structure of two economically important spiny lobsters, P. homarus and P. ornatus sourced from the Indian Ocean and South China Sea. Fragments of the cytochrome oxidase subunit-I (COI) gene of the mitochondrial DNA of 71 P. homarus and 42 P. ornatus collected from 6 and 5 fish landing sites in Indonesia, respectively, were sequenced. Homologous sequences from the Indian Ocean and South China Sea available at GenBank were included in the analysis. No genetic differences were observed in P. ornatus populations from the two geographic regions (xST = -0.005) while a diminutive difference was found in the populations of P. homarus (xST = -0.002 and 0.009). These results, combined with a negative Tajima’s D estimates, points to a deficit of nucleotide variation relative to the expectations from the mutation/drift equilibrium. Reconstruction of the phylogeny of P. homarus demonstrates that all Indonesian samples of P. homarus are grouped in one cluster and share the common cluster with GenBank data originated from Taiwan, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, Oman, and Iran. The phylogeny of P. ornatus indicates that there are two separated lineages existing in Indonesia.

Health as growth
Authors: Calkins Sandra
Published: October 2019

What notions of health and proper nutrition are articulated in the use and promotion of agricultural biotechnology in the global South? What future trajectories for health do they envision? Experiments with genetically modified bananas in Uganda use the fruit as a vehicle to achieve public health goals. This work in plant science understands itself as humanitarian, drawing on specific notions of health and its opposite: the deficient health of humans and plants. Instead of thinking about improved health through bananas, which implies an instrumental relationship to plants, I connect this high-tech effort to a way of thinking with the banana plant in central Uganda that highlights the entanglement of human and plant growth. Expanding our thinking about health with plants and the gardens where they grow relocates the production of health to sites that still seldom figure in medical anthropology and helps reconceptualize what one takes growth to be and what relations can sustain cross-species thriving.
