Wisdom-of-the-crowds to enhance innovation: state of the art
Authors: Saur-Amaral Irina
Published: March 2019

Our paper performs a systematic literature review on academic and non-academic studies on “wisdom of the crowds” or “collective intelligence” and its possible usage to enhance innovation, with or without financial compensation for the member of the crowd. We aggregate and critically compare contributions since 2004, when the concept was coined, in a conceptual framework meant to assist innovation professionals in sourcing various types of knowledge from the crowds. Key dimensions point towards different approaches according to the type of information/knowledge required, different types of target-crowd, according to company goals and phase of innovation process where knowledge is to be used.

We outline a framework of such an ecosystem and accompanying research agenda.
Is Time Pressure an Advantage or a Disadvantage for Front End Innovation – Case Digital Jewelry
Authors: Salmela Erno , Happonen Ari , Hirvimäki Marika , Vimm Ivary
Published: March 2019

Time pressure is not usually seen as an advantage in front end innovation (subsequently referred to as “FEI”), but rather it is believed that ideas should be left to develop freely without a tight schedule. Instead of strictly formalized operations, creating ideas generally necessitates a certain level of freedom. The starting point for this research was to challenge this general view by imposing severe time pressure in FEI. The FEI process was reviewed from recognizing problems/creating ideas up until the selection of the best concept for further development. The research was executed as a qualitative in-depth investigation of a case. In the case, FEI took place over a three-week period, and the target for the FEI was to generate concepts of digital jewelry with business potential. The time pressure was seen as appropriate – with certain conditions – in FEI. The results also present the advantages and disadvantages of time pressure, combining it to the stress theory.
Coping with big: Does big data lead to ‘bigger’ innovation?
Authors: Torkkeli Marko , Mention Anne-Laure , Pinto Ferreira João José
Published: March 2019

This Spring Issue will discuss about big data and multiple aspects of its usability and applicability. Many of us have seen blockbuster movies Back to the future (premiere in 1985), The Terminator (1984) or Minority report (2002). The unifying element of the above mentioned movies is that manuscripts are introducing a superior competitive advantage factor. The protagonists create an advantage by having either real-time data (sometimes from the future) or all relevant (big and historical) data with enormous computing capacity over competitors. A bit after first two of those movies premiered, NASA scientists Cox and Ellsworth (1997) published an article where term ‘big data’ appeared first time (Press, 2014). Intelligence needs to be topped up in a way to create advantage. Data has been there for a long time, in all forms and sizes. It is applied in almost single every business sector and it is getting faster in sense of usability. The data storage capacity has been exponentially increasing over time, but the usability of this wealth of data remains a critical issue.(...)
Perspectives to Definition of Big Data: A Mapping Study and Discussion
Authors: Ylijoki Ossi , Porras Jari
Published: March 2019

Big data is an emerging research area where common terminology is still evolving. Different perspectives to the research area and terminology exist, but a common definition for big data does not exist. We have performed a systematic mapping study in order to identify different big data definitions and their perspectives. As a result, we present a state-of-the-art review of the current status in big data definitions, discuss the shortcomings of the current definitions, and propose possible solutions for the shortcomings. The paper contributes to the emerging big data research by analyzing current definitions of big data from different perspectives, suggesting enhancement to the terminology as well as pointing out new research avenues. In addition, the article helps new researchers and practitioners to understand what big data is, and bridges the knowledge between theory and practice.
Big Data: Fueling the Next Evolution of Agricultural Innovation
Authors: Sonka Steve
Published: March 2019

Application of Big Data in agriculture could both contribute to economic gain and to reduction of environmental impact. Especially at the farming level, the high cost of measuring actual operations as they occurred historically restrained decision making in the sector. Currently several sensing technologies associated with Big Data are being evaluated and adopted within the sector. Their adoption offers the opportunity to alter that historic benefit/cost relationship. Combined with advanced analytics, measurement and analysis of diverse sources of data promise to create value for sector decision makers and society. While consumers likely will continue to be the ultimate beneficiaries of such advances, the pattern by which value is captured by entities in the sector remains uncertain. Factors such as organizational collaboration and the application of rules associated with intellectual property will have significant impact upon the evolution of Big Data’s implementation within agriculture.

Authors: Almpanopoulou Argyro , Bergman Jukka-Pekka , Ahonen Tero , Blomqvist Kirsimarja , Ritala Paavo , Honkapuro Samuli , Ahola Jero
Published: March 2019

The very nature of the energy sector, as a highly regulated and capital-intensive sector, as well as the challenges imposed by the global transition to renewable energy, have made the emergence of innovation ecosystems, which are necessary for the development and commercialization of new solutions, rather challenging. We examine the emergence of energy services ecosystems from a policy perspective, suggesting the scenario method as an enabler for focusing the attention of relevant actors and identifying triggering events that guide their activities toward a shared future. We illustrate our arguments using three case examples from Finnish public policy. Our study contributes to the nascent literature of ecosystem emergence and public innovation policy in the field of energy services.

Motivation for increasing creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. An experience from the classroom to business firms
Authors: Gerardo Barroso-Tanoira Francisco
Published: March 2019

This study presents a program for increasing students´ motivation to be creative, innovative and entrepreneurs, based on interventions in business firms for improving employee performance through the use of critical and creative thinking.  Results showed that the program was effective both for workers and students, and that the most important factor to be considered for enhancing creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship is intrinsic motivation.  People are more creative when they do what they like, instead of just doing what they know or what they are told to.  The more creative people are, the better performance and higher productivity could be expected.  This is an opportunity for educational institutions to set links with business firms and take a more active role in human and business development.

Roles and responsibilities of open innovation specialists based on analysis of job advertisements
Authors: Dabrowska Justyna , Podmetina Daria
Published: March 2019

Innovative companies are increasingly creating new open innovation functions and employing open innovation specialists to facilitate innovation processes. However, research that explores these emerging jobs remains scarce. This study examines the worldwide job market for ‘open innovation’ specialists as per job title and/or job description, and analyzes 100 job advertisements related to ‘open innovation’ specialists published during two periods in 2014 and 2016. The findings identify the key responsibilities of dedicated open innovation specialists and associated skills, and the competencies that companies seek in candidates. In addition, the findings indicate that companies need open innovation specialists to not only work in R&D departments. In addition, the ability to influence others and prior start-up experience have become basic requirements to apply for open innovation specialist positions.
Societal progress: A tale of two brothers
Authors: Mention Anne-Laure , Pinto Ferreira João José , Torkkeli Marko
Published: March 2019

The story of societal progress has long been acknowledged to involve two brothers - management research and management practice (Beyer, 1982). Although, reared by the same knowledge core (Poole and Van de Ven, 1989; Wallin and von Krogh, 2010), the brothers in a display of their contrasting lives behave independently, often disparately. Their distinct behaviour has prompted scholars to report that ’most of what management researchers do utterly fails to resonate with management practice’ (Bansal et al., 2012, p. 73). Those observing the relationship unfold have been concerned of this disconnect for decades (Banks et al., 2016; Hambrick, 1994; Shapiro, Kirkman and Courtney, 2007). Gordon and Howell (1959) posited that universities and business schools need to be ’better informed and more scholarly faculties that are capable of carrying on more significant research, and with greater appreciation of the contributions to be made to the development of business competence’ (p.425).

Emotional and Social Intelligence as ‘Magic Key’ in Innovation: A Designer’s call toward inclusivity for all
Authors: Henning Buehring Joern , Moore Patricia
Published: March 2019

This paper draws attention to the emotional and social intelligence of individuals - encompassing self- and social awareness, empathy and social skills; when applied to innovation, it can boost employee creativity, diversity, risk taking, learning, adapting, and strategic decision making which is deemed as critical in meeting the challenges of the 21stCentury. Meanwhile, Design in business and innovation have become increasingly synonymous in both meaning (e.g. design and futures thinking) and reach (e.g. products, services, business models, and systems), placing renewed focus on creative human capital as the organizations’ greatest asset. Expanding the conversation of Design in business as a strategic role to develop user-centered innovations through ‘inclusivity for all’, it is proposed that an organization’s emotional and social intelligence may well bear the 'magic key' toward competitive resilience and long-term survival.
The facilitator, characteristics and importance for innovation teams
Authors: Johnsson Mikael
Published: March 2019

This research develops the understanding of the innovation facilitator’s (facilitator) role for inexperienced innovation teams in an industrial context. Qualitative data was collected from X-functional Innovation teams’ members and their sponsor to identify requirements of a facilitator. Forty characteristics were identified and charted in an innovation process. Significant findings, contributing to prior research, are that the facilitator’s presence and involvement in the innovation teams was crucial in the pre- and first phase of the innovation process due to the very high complexity, where personal characteristics as well as e.g. facilitating-, teaching-, coaching-, group dynamic- skills were central. The importance of the pre-phase was unexpected, resulting in an extended innovation process: The Extended Innovation Process (EIP), for which the traditional innovation process was extended with a preparation-phase before the initial ideation-phase. This knowledge is applicable when e.g. creating and educating new innovation teams within an organization. Future research is suggested.
Does size matter? The effects of enterprise size on the perception of benefits and risks of open innovation projects
Authors: Ullrich André , Vladova Gergana , Grum Marcus , Marquart Danny
Published: March 2019

This article presents an exploratory study investigating the influence of an enterprise’s size on its perception and assessment of the benefits and risks expected from participating in open innovation projects. For this purpose an online survey was conducted in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The result of this paper is empirical evidence showing how the size of an enterprise affects its perception of potential benefits and risks expected within the context of open innovation project participation. Furthermore, the identified effects are discussed against the theory. Existing theory regarding the benefits and risks of open innovation is expanded by 1) finding that they are perceived mostly independently of enterprise size, 2) confirming their practical relevance, and 3) enabling a finer distinction between their degrees of relevance for small, medium, and large enterprises.
Promoting the creation of Innovation Ecosystems: the case of the University of Porto
Authors: Brito Carlos Melo
Published: March 2019

Universities are increasingly acting as promoters of innovation, economic growth and regional development, a trend that has attracted the attention of both policy makers and researchers. The objective of this paper is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of higher education institutions as dynamic promoters of growth and development. The University of Porto is used as a case study to explore how universities can act as innovation ecosystems leaders and integrators. The main contributions of the paper are threefold. First, the case puts in evidence a key success factor: the talent to transform the knowledge produced by universities into valuable solutions for companies and other organisations. Second, links between universities and industry must assume a long-term and relational nature rather than an intermittent and transactional character. Finally, the success of university-based ecosystems depends on the integration of a diversity of actors, resources and competences. This means that a sustainable strategy of innovation and knowledge valorisation requires an approach that fosters both internal and external networking.
Actor-network theory: opening the black box of the reasons for the involvement of researchers in the technology transfer process
Authors: De Oliveira Garcia Marcelo , Gava Rodrigo , Tonelli Dany Flávio , Pereira Brito Valéria da Glória
Published: March 2019

The process of technology transfer represents a type of social phenomenon that becomes a black box after its completion. That is, access to the process becomes invisible and obscure. The reasons that lead a public researcher to participate in the technology transfer process represented the main concerns to support the research question, whose derived analysis was based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of the Actor-Network Theory (ANT). This research contributes to understanding the transfer of technology as a complex phenomenon that features the participation of actors with complex and diverse interests; that is, each technology transfer process is singular in its understanding.
Contemporary Australian Artists from the Middle Eastern Diaspora
Authors: Fahd Cherine
Published: March 2019

For nearly two decades contemporary artists from the Middle Eastern diaspora have enjoyed international acclaim with significant representation across major international exhibitions in Western art centers. This success can be attributed in part to the strong sociopolitical concerns that characterize their practices. Like their international counterparts, Australian artists from the Middle Eastern diaspora contribute to the enduring relationship between art and politics and yet despite this, the practice of contemporary Australian artists from the diaspora is scarcely known internationally. This article seeks to offer some redress by introducing seven contemporary Australian artists from the Middle Eastern diaspora who for the past decade have achieved institutional recognition in Australia.

Updating the Model: The Case for Independent Pharmacy to Embrace Digital Health
Authors: Cornell W Kyle , Clauson Kevin A , Cain Jeff
Published: March 2019

Objectives: To advocate for independent pharmacy to embrace digital health as a means to improve patient outcomes and compete more strongly in an increasingly competitive business environment.

Summary: Independent pharmacies are positioned to be at the forefront of adopting digital health tools for a variety of reasons.  They often can make changes to their business model faster than a major retail chain, are often in rural locations where few other providers are located, and are already starting to offer the types of clinical services that can be greatly aided by digital health. This commentary presents the case for a change in the current model of pharmacy practice to one which embraces digital health. The role of the pharmacist would grow beyond exclusively medication management to incorporate tools such as wearable health trackers and mobile phone applications. By utilizing digital health, the pharmacist can obtain a greater amount of patient health data via an asynchronous electronic uploading process, and then use that data to further improve their ability to offer clinical services.

Conclusion: Digital health is a powerful tool that should be embraced by independent pharmacy. By leveraging digital health, pharmacies can improve both accessibility and quality of care, thus providing a competitive advantage in the retail marketplace.

Methodological Proposal for the Identification of an Interregional Project Portfolio for the Economic Development and the Exploitation of Riverine Vocation of Colombia
Authors: Murcia Fernandez Henry , Salgado Martínez Adriana , Gil De Los Ríos Carlos , Saravia Arenas Jimmy , Ortega Buelvas Milena
Published: March 2019

The Colombian riverine system is composed by a 27.725km water network distributed in the four major basins (Magdalena, Amazonas, Atrato, Orinoco) along the country. 73.1% of the system can be considered as waterways. However instead of leveraging the potential for the exploitation of this natural resource and the promotion of a riverine transportation system which can impact neighboring populations in social aspects such as health and education, in Colombia the priority is focused to road transportations systems. The National Government, which has adopted the challenges for the sustainability of the planet, has accepted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) promulgated by the UN and at the same time has linked the iniciative to its 2014 – 2018 National Development Plan. The possibility of connecting the promotion of its riverine vocation and capabilities for solving known socioeconomic needs motivate the creation of this methodological proposal that is driven by the identification of an interregional project portfolio that can be the starting point for closing the diagnosed gaps. At the same time it also makes the accomplish. Went of the goals established by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, defined by United Nations, feasible.

Межэтническое взаимодействие русских и тувинцев в советской и постсоветской Туве (на примере национально-смешанных семей)
Authors: Dorzhu Zoya Yu.
Published: March 2019

В статье анализируются проблемы межэтнических браков между тувинцами и русскими в Республике Тыва, которые рассматриваются как один из аспектов межэтнического взаимодействия двух самых многочисленных этнических групп населения. Хронологический период: советское время (1944–1991 гг.) и постсоветское (с 1991 г. по настоящее время. Источниковая база работы: статистические данные за 1979, 1989, 2002, 2007, 2010 гг.; данные опроса жителей Кызыла разных национальностей, проведенный автором в марте-апреле 2017 г.; личные наблюдения и материалы интервью 2015–2018 гг. с 20 респондентами старше 65 лет, находящимися в межнациональном браке. Взаимодействие тувинцев и русских имеет двухвековую историю. Оно отразилось и на демографических процессах. Если раньше тувинцы предпочитали внутриэтнические брачные связи, то изменение демографической ситуации, межнациональная интеграция обусловили и появление межнациональных браков. Анализируются динамика числа браков, мотивы и факторы выбора партнера для смешанного брака, реакция окружающих, проблема детей в смешанных семьях.Образование смешанных семей влекло за собой качественно новые черты культуры, домашнего быта, традиций, отличающих их семейный уклад от семейного быта однонациональных семей, к которым ранее принадлежали супруги. Параллельно с этим в смешанных семьях происходили языковые процессы, межэтническое общение способствовало распространению двуязычия, а также широкому распространению родственных связей, которые обеспечивали этнополитическую устойчивость многонационального региона.В современной Туве также часто встречаются национально-смешанные семьи, однако общественное отношение к таким бракам резко изменилось. Отрицательное отношение к межнациональным бракам связано с религиозными различиями, разными традициями и обычаями. Из-за этого возникают между супругами разногласия, такие браки люди начинают расценивать как неустойчивые. Свою роль сыграло и усиление националистических тенденций в постсоветском обществе.

Published: March 2019

Pensar em educação na sociedade da informação e da comunicação exige considerar um leque de aspectos relativos às TICs, bem como, os desafios a serem enfrentados não só no que diz respeito à demanda de acesso universal à educação, mas também de oferecer uma educação que considere a diversidade cultural e, em muitos casos, as necessidades de desenvolvimento das comunidades. A utilização das tecnologias de informação e comunicação ao ambiente de ensino e aprendizagem presencial tem possibilitado e ampliado o processo de comunicação e interação professor-aluno. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar os resultados da experiência pedagógica vivenciada por duas professoras dos Institutos Superiores de Ensino no CENSA, quando da utilização dos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem EDMODO e Schoology, com alunos do 1º período do Curso de Enfermagem e do 7º período do Curso de Pedagogia, como estratégia de apoio ao ensino presencial. Trata-se da metodologia de ensino por projetos por meio do uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação, indicada como uma referência para a condução do trabalho didático.Quanto à abordagem do problema teve um enfoque quanti e qualitativo. A análise dos ambientes ocorreu a partir da avaliação dos estudantes. Os dados foram coletados com o auxílio da plataforma de questionários online SurveyMonkey.A pesquisa indica que muito ainda há por se fazer no sentido de criar espaços de interação online professor-aluno. Ainda existem muitas resistências por parte dos alunos quanto ao ensino não presencial. Alguns fatores foram indicados como de relevância para qualquer ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, tais como a interface gráfica, a interatividade (professor-aluno); a inserção de vídeos, links, entre outros; e o acesso às seções e seus conteúdo e/ou atividades.

Objetivo: Evidenciar os fatores inerentes ao desenvolvimento de lesão por pressão e as recomendações para prevenção dos mesmos utilizando a Escala de Braden. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa descritiva, realizada por meio da biblioteca virtual Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), do buscador acadêmico Google Acadêmico e nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDEnf), utilizando os descritores “lesão por pressão”, “medição de risco” e “cuidados de enfermagem”. Foram selecionados 20 artigos para discussão. Resultados: A compreensão dos fatores de risco que favorecem o aparecimento de lesão por pressão mostra-se de grande relevância, pois os mesmos representam um contratempo que afeta o paciente física e psicologicamente, atrasando assim seu processo de recuperação. Para avaliação do risco de desenvolvimento de lesão por pressão, o enfermeiro deve utilizar rotineiramente, além da Escala de Braden, a avaliação clínica e a anamnese, o que facilita o processo de sistematização da assistência por meio da avaliação, da elaboração do diagnóstico de Enfermagem, da prescrição e da evolução de Enfermagem. Conclusão: A utilização da Escala de Braden possibilita conhecer as características dos pacientes aos quais se presta assistência e, se aplicada corretamente, antecipar intervenções que visem a prevenção de lesão por pressão. É mais satisfatório prevenir uma lesão do que facilitar a sua instalação para posteriormente tratá-la.
PENATAAN KAWASAN TEPI SUNGAI DI KOTA SINTANG DARI PERSPEKTIF SENENTANG
Authors: Arisona Sindi , Elvira - , Rustamaji -
Published: March 2019

Senentang merupakan sebutan bagi sebuah tempat, yang lama-kelamaan berubah menjadi Sintang, yaitu nama dari Ibu Kota Kabupaten Sintang di Kawasan Timur Kalimantan Barat. Arti kata Senentang adalah tempat bertemu dua aliran sungai yang berbeda, yaitu Sungai Kapuas dan Sungai Melawi. Latar belakang penelitian ini lahir dari hasil pengamatan kawasan sungai, yang meskipun adalah sumber rujukan bagi nama Kota Sintang, namun tidak didukung oleh kondisi kawasan tepi sungainya. Maka dengan harapan agar makna Senentang tidak dilupakan. kata tersebut menjadi dasar konsep penataan yang mengacu pada konteks sungai dan sejarah kebudayaan. Sehingga hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi arahan dalam membentuk Identitas (Place Identity) Kota Sintang. Konsep Senentang diungkap melalui pendekatan analogi bentuk pertemuan dua sungai, yang menghasilkan empat rumusan konsep bentuk, yaitu berpola radial, terjadi proses penggabungan, terdapat faktor pembeda, dan adanya kombinasi elemen air dan darat. Sejarah kebudayaan memperlihatkan jenis kebudayaan yang memengaruhi perkembangan kota, yaitu Kebudayaan Dayak, Melayu, Jawa dan Tionghoa, yang kemudian menjadi faktor pembeda dalam rumusan hasil analogi sungai dari konsep ini. Dalam wujud fisik, bentuk-bentuk kebudayaan ditata dengan proses gradasi, yang semakin lama semakin melebur menjadi satu wujud bentuk yang menyatu. Pola kegiatan ditata dengan mengikuti aliran sungai, yang mengalir dari tempat tinggi ke tempat yang rendah. Pola tersebut dalam bentuk kegiatan perorangan, kelompok kecil, kelompok besar dan kegiatan penunjang, yang terjadi pembauran ketika tiba di pusat kawasan. Unsur persatuan berupa pusat orientasi kawasan, yaitu di tengah pertemuan dua sungai dan diwujudkan juga dengan landmark sebagai identitas kawasan, serta adanya konektivitas antar kawasan darat. Perwujudan elemen air dan darat, adalah memadukan kedua unsur tersebut dengan bentuk kolam di daratan dan lanting atau ponton yang berada di atas air sungai. Selain itu dengan membuat sebuah panggung pertunjukkan, yang terletak tepat di tengah pertemuan dua sungainya. Perkuatan tebing sungai menjadi hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam menata kawasan tepi sungai, untuk menunjang kegiatan yang diwadahi. Konsep Senentang, menghasilkan pilihan jenis konstruksi pelindung tebing sungai, yang ditentukan melalui hasil pengamatan terhadap foto kawasan penelitian di masa lalu. Yaitu berupa dua pola perlindungan yang terbagi menjadi empat jenis konstruksi. Adalah berupa Bioengineering dengan jenis tumbuhan yang memiliki kedekatan budaya terhadap penduduk Sintang, yaitu dengan usulan pohon Sengkuang dan Bungur. Kemudian pelindung tebing sungai tidak langsung, berupa krib dan konstruksi panggung serta konstruksi apung.

Excited-State Dynamics in the RNA Nucleotide Uridine 5’-Monophosphate Investigated by Femtosecond Broadband Transient Absorption Spectroscopy
Authors: Brister Matthew M. , Crespo-Hernández Carlos
Published: March 2019

Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induce chemical modifications to the nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential, but investigations aimed at understanding the electronic-energy relaxation pathways of the RNA nucleotide uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP) have not received enough attention. In this Letter, the excited-state dynamics of UMP is investigated in aqueous solution. Excitation at 267 nm results in a trifurcation event that leads to the simultaneous population of the vibrationally-excited ground state, a longlived 1nOπ* state, and a receiver triplet state within 200 fs. The receiver state internally convert to the long-lived 3ππ* state in an ultrafast time scale. The results elucidate the electronic relaxation pathways and clarify earlier transient absorption experiments performed for uracil derivatives in solution. This mechanistic information is important because long-lived nπ* and ππ* excited states of both singlet and triplet multiplicities are thought to lead to the formation of harmful photoproducts.

Authors: Okamoto Yasuharu
Published: March 2019

High dimensional neural network potential (HDNNP) is interested as an alternative to classical force field calculations by data-driven approach. HDNNP has an advantage over classical force field calculation, such as being able to handle chemical reactions, but there are many points yet to be understood with respect to the chemical transferability in particular for non-organic compounds. In this paper, we focused on Au13+ and Au11+ clusters and showed that the energy of clusters of different sizes can be predicted by HDNNP with semi-quantitative accuracy.

Published: March 2019

Background: Melanoma incidence is growing worldwide. Although recent advances in imaging, there isn`t still available a specific melanoma agent that can be used for melanoma staging. Archaeosomes may be defined as liposomes composed of one or more polar lipids extracted from the Archaea domain (Archaebacterium). Objective: Â As liposomes have been used as vehicles for drugs and isotopes, the aim of this work was to 99mTc radiolabel archaeosomes and evaluates its potential role as a melanoma imaging agent.Methods: Archaeosomes were prepared by hand shaken method and were radiolabeled with 99mTc; Radiolabelling efficiency and purity was evaluated through different chromatographic systems. In vitro stability of 99mTc-DTPA-archaeosomes was performed through L-cysteine challenge.Results: Archaeosomes size distribution was determined by laser light scattering, having nanometer size between 90 and 120 nm. Radiolabelling efficiency was greater than 90%; 99mTc-DTPA-Archaeosomes presented a radiochemical purity superior to 80% evaluated 24 hours post radiolabelling. For the highest concentration of L-cysteine (30mM) and 1h incubation,Â  radiochemical purity was 92.90 %, 6.41 % was bound to cysteine and 0.69 % remained as 99mTcO4- . Biodistribution and scintigraphic imaging studies in healthy C57 black mice showed high liver, spleen uptake and renal elimination. Melanoma bearing mice, had similar biodistribution as healthy mice but increased melanoma uptake, with T/M ratio of 46 Â±3.7.Conclusions: Â Our results show the feasibility of 99mTc radiolabelling archaeosomes and their potential role as a melanoma imaging agent.
A comparative study on the zinc metatitanate microstructure by ball milling and solvothermal approaches
Authors: Al-Hajji L.
Published: March 2019

The microstructure of an α-TiO2:ZnO system obtained by two different synthesis techniques is investigated. Equimolar α-TiO2:ZnO is subjected to high-energy planetary ball milling as a dry mechanical technique and a solvothermal method as a wet technique for preparing zinc titana­tes. The investigation is performed by XRD and HR-TEM. The mechanical route results in the formation of ZnTiO3 as a major product accompanied by Zn2Ti3O8 as a minor one. The solvo­thermal route results in the formation of Zn2Ti3O8 accompanied by traces of zincite. The thermal stability of later zinc titanate is explored under different temperatures and results in a homogeneous amorphous nanocrystalline phase transformation without a compositional change.
The Effect of Lining Material on the Permeability of Clayey Soil
Authors: Shakir Arwa Ossama , Ali Haifaa Abd Al-Rasool
Published: March 2019

The main objectives of current work are to reduce the permeability of clayey soil for different fluid (water and crude oil) and to predict its efficiency for petroleum storage. Current research uses a sodium bentonite (B) with percentage (1.5, 3 and 6%) by the dry weight of soil and coal tar extended epoxy resin coating as the lining material. The soil sample was brought from AL -Nahrawan region. Soil's permeability for petrol was studied through using compacted soil model and making a central hole (core) in it with changing its dimensions (diameter, thickness of wall and base), type of fluid and number of filling cycles. After filling the core with these fluids, the volume losses of fluids were measured per day. When two cycles were finished, a sample was taken from the base of the core to be examined in a consolidation test. Number of laboratory tests have been conducted such as (Atterberg limits, compaction test, consolidation, sieve analysis and specific gravity).The results showed that the increase in bentonite percentage causes an increase in (optimum moisture content, Atterberg limit and specific gravity) and also decreasing in (max dry unit weight and permeability) as the fluid was water. However, an increase in permeability was obtained using the crude oil. A reduction in volume losses was observed when using the lining material, coal tar extended epoxy resin coating.

Published: March 2019

A SDCSS é uma doença rara (pouco estudo no Brasil) e que em primeiro aspecto, em 1998 por Minor et al.foi descrita como uma degradação da camada óssea responsável por revestir o canal semicircular superior. Está diretamente correlacionada a sintomas vestibulares e alguns pacientes podem apresentar quadros de eufonia e perda auditiva. É válido ressaltar que ainda não se conhece a etiopatologia da doença  peculiaridade da síndrome em questão. Em contrapartida, há hipóteses que acreditam que o erro ocorreria durante o desenvolvimento da camada óssea que recobre o canal semicircular. Como diagnóstico, entende-se que o exame clínico é de suma importância, pelo fato dos exames estipulados como padrão ouro não serem capazes de expor alterações significativas. Quando ocorre uma suspeita, os indivíduos devem ser submetidos ao protocolo da avaliação com os testes estudados, para ser feita a confirmação da HD (hipótese diagnóstica). Por fim, entende-se que SDCSS dever ser incluída entre as causas de vertigem como de hipoacusia de transmissão e embora seja uma alteração incomum, há diversos aspectos fisiopatológicos ainda não escritos. Possui a vantagem de serem evitadas abordagens terapêuticas inapropriadas. (Minor et al, 2001)

Published: March 2019

Introdução: Esclerose Lateral Prima?ria (ELP) é uma doenc?a neurodegenerativa rara de origem desconhecida caracterizada por envolvimento do trato corticoespinhal, que comumente se manifesta por espasticidade progressiva, porém sem lesão do segundo neurônio motor.

Objetivos: Relatar um caso de ELP, realizar revisão da literatura e dos critérios diagnósticos.

Metodologia: relato de caso e revisão da literatura.

Relato do Caso: Mulher, branca, hígida, apresentou aos 35 anos quadro progressivo de alteração da marcha, do equilíbrio e perda na orientação dos movimentos. Redução progressiva da força em membros superiores, posterior ao quadro de paraparesia instalado. Inicia-se também nesse período importante perda ponderal em razão de disfagia associada. Progrediu para tetraparesia, e disfonia severas sem qualquer verbalização aos 37 anos. Na evolução observou-se comprometimento de vários domínios da cognição, além de grande labilidade emocional. Ao exame observa-se tetraparesia espástica, hiperreflexia nos quatro membros, clonus simétrico, sinais de Babinski e Hoffman bilaterais, e afasia motora. Exames laboratoriais, TC de tórax e abdômen, EEG sem alterações. RM de crânio demonstrando atrofia cortical difusa, dilatação ventricular compensatória; RM de coluna sem alterações. ENMG sem sinais de acometimento do segundo neurônio motor.

Conclusões: Trata-se de um caso de doença neurodegenerativa do neurônio motor superior, com acometimento de funções cognitivas. A paciente preenche critérios clínicos propostos por Pringle et al., 1992 para o diagnóstico da ELP. Outras causas de lesão do neurônio motor foram excluídas para a confirmação diagnóstica.
