JOVENES Y AISLADAS PERO DIVERSAS: ESTRUCTURA Y COMPOSICIÓN FLORÍSTICA DE MATAS DE MONTE EN ARAUCA
Authors: Perez Buitrago Nestor Fernando , Guio Blanco Paola Andrea , Mijares Santana Francisco Javier
Published: May 2020

Se analizó la estructura y composición florística de tres fragmentos de bosque rodeados de sabana inundable, localmente llamados “matas de monte”, en la zona rural del municipio de Arauca (Arauca). En cada mata de monte (MM), el área de muestreo fue de 1000 m2 (0,1 ha) para la vegetación arbórea (DAP  ≥ 10 cm), 500 m2  para la vegetación arbustiva  (DAP: 5 – 9,9 cm) y 10 m2 para la vegetación herbácea (DAP < 5 cm). Se registraron 40 familias, 79 géneros y 84 especies. Las familias con mayor riqueza de especies fueron Fabaceae, Malvaceae, Rubiaceae, Apocynaceae y Euphorbiaceae. Las especies con mayores Índices de Valor de Importancia (IVI) fueron Sapium glandulosum en la MM1 (36,2 %) y MM2 (23,9 %) y Vitex orinocensis var. multiflora en la MM3 (40,1 %). Las MM estudiadas pueden ser descritas como bosques secundarios multiestratificados en estado de regeneración con doseles de hasta 15 m de altura y con rasgos florísticos similares a los bosques semideciduos y deciduos de los Llanos de Venezuela. En 1994 y basados en fotos aéreas, se evidencia que las áreas donde existen actualmente las matas de monte eran zonas de cultivo con ningún tipo de vegetación boscosa. Esta cronología de eventos refleja un aspecto fundamental de muchos sistemas biológicos e importante para la biología de la conservación que es la capacidad de recuperación de la naturaleza si se dan las circunstancias de tiempo y espacio para que lo haga.
VALOR TAXONÓMICO DE NUEVOS CARACTERES ANATÓMICOS DE LA LÁMINA FOLIAR DE TRES ESPECIES DE Cecropia (URTICACEAE: CECROPIAE) EN CÓRDOBA, COLOMBIA.
Authors: Varilla González Jean David , Ruíz Vega Rosalba
Published: May 2020

Se describen las características anatómicas de la epidermis foliar y mesófilo de las especies Cecropia longipes, C. membranacea y C. peltata. El material vegetal fue recolectado en Córdoba- Colombia. Se realizaron disociaciones epidérmicas y cortes transversales de la lámina media mediante técnicas histológicas convencionales. Los caracteres evaluados: forma y el contorno de las células epidérmicas, indumento aracnoideo abaxial, organización de las células de la base de los tricomas, idioblastos epidérmicos, tipo y distribución de los estomas, mostraron diferencias que permiten separar a C. membranacea de las otras especies. Las especies C. longipes y C. peltata son similares en la anatomía de la lámina foliar, sin embargo, es posible distinguirlas teniendo en cuenta la epidermis pluriestratificada y proporción del parénquima clorofiliano, aunque estas características no se presentaron en todas las muestras. Los caracteres evaluados son útiles desde el punto de vista taxonómico y pueden contribuir a la identificación de las especies de la tribu Cecropieae.
Segment–zero alternations in Galician definite article allomorphy
Authors: Ulfsbjorninn Shanti
Published: May 2020

Galician presents an intriguing case of opaque phonologically-conditioned definite article allomorphy (PCA). Though Galician features in the general literature on PCA (Nevins 2011), there is a surprising lack of synchronic theoretical discussion of this specific pattern. The data appears to require allomorph selection arranged in a system of Priority (Mascaró 2005; Bonet et al. 2003; 2007). The pattern involves opaque segment ‘deletion’ and resyllabification, where segment deletion counterbleeds allomorph insertion along with morphologically-specific segmental changes. A Strict CV representational reanalysis is proposed in which there is no true allomorphy (no selection between competing underlying morphemes). All the forms are generated from a single underlying form, thereby undercutting PRIORITY.
Present Peace, Future Freedom
Authors: Emory-Moore Christopher
Published: May 2020

Euro-North American Buddhism consists of a diversity of transplanted Asian traditions whose cultural adaptations often include heightened emphases on both family and meditation. This paper considers the nexus of these two themes in an examination of children’s meditation instruction in two of the largest international Gelukpa Tibetan Buddhist networks, the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) and the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT). Through a comparison of these organizations’ recently published English-language children’s meditation manuals, the paper aims to produce a clearer picture of how children and their capacities for meditation are being conceptualized and cultivated in diasporic Tibetan Buddhist formations. I argue that the texts of the FPMT and NKT reflect respectively enthusiastic and measured approaches to the adaptation of Gelukpa Tibetan Buddhist meditation’s traditional doctrinal context and goals for primarily non-Tibetan audiences.

Published: May 2020

Avulsão dentária está relacionada com causas extrínsecas como acidentes e violência. Tendo alta incidência em crianças de 7-12 anos, sendo os incisivos centrais superiores os dentes mais acometidos. Paciente YD, 9 anos de idade, gênero masculino, buscou atendimento na clínica infantil/UMESP acompanhado da mãe com queixa principal de estética/emocional decorrente da perda do elemento 21 e extrusão do 11 após queda de bicicleta. Imediatamente após queda, a criança foi para Santa Casa onde realizaram contenção do elemento 11, porém não houve reimplante do 21, pois este foi perdido. Ao exame clínico, foi observada extrusão e infra-oclusão de aproximadamente 4mm do elemento 11 e intrusão dos elementos 12 e 22.  Foi realizada radiografia periapical modificada anterior superior para analisar a situação periodontal e integrar plano de tratamento. A contenção foi removida, observando uma mobilidade no 11. Confeccionou-se aparelho removível superior estético com alças para intrusão. Utilizou-se elástico de 3/16” leve, com 20gF, para intrusão do 11 até a altura do provisório 21. Em 15 dias observou-se que o dente estava quase reposicionado, faltando apenas 1mm para alcançar a altura correta e não havia mobilidade. Foi diagnosticada necrose do elemento 11, após o teste de vitalidade, provavelmente devido ao trauma. Desse modo, o mesmo foi encaminhado para avaliação endodôntica. A intrusão do 11 ocorreu com sucesso e, até que o paciente tenha idade suficiente para realização do implante do 21, deverá ser mantido aparelho estético/funcional ou contenção.

Published: May 2020

This paper aimed at providing popping characteristics of different red and white sorghum genotypes according to different moisture content at traditional methods of popping using high temperature for a short time (HTST). To increasing grain moisture level, seven sorghum genotypes - mutant and hybrid lines (M1(6282), 16113, 16121, 1641, 1643, 1651, 1673) were soaked to 0, 60, 120 and 180 min in distilled water. The popping rate and expansion ratio were recorded. The results showed that conventional method of popping is a good main to produce pops sorghum after increasing moisture of grains. Moistening of grains from 13-16 % increased 5.3-10.2% popping rate of all sorghum genotypes. The mutant line M1(6282) with red coloration of pericarp had the highest popping rate and expansion ratio at 16% moisture i.e. 85% and 3.88 %, respectively. There was correlation between diameter of grains and parameters expansion ratio (from 0.604 to 0.724), popping rate (from 0.815 to 0.878) and moisture grains (from 0.815 to 0.878).

Authors: ANGELOPOULOU Foteini , TSIPLAKOU Eleni , BILALIS Dimitrios
Published: May 2020

Camelina sativa (L). Crantz is a novel promising oilseed plant that can be grown as a spring annual crop or as a winter annual, in milder climates, providing distinct advantages. The objectives of this 3-year study were to evaluate the agronomic potential of fall-seeded camelina in Mediterranean conditions and the effect of compost application on its yield and quality characteristics. The response of fall-seeded camelina to organic fertilization resulted in tripling the seed yield and enhance the weight of seeds, compared to the unfertilized control. Concerning, seed quality characteristics compost application significantly enhanced only seed ash percentage (3.71%) as compared to control (3.05%) and lesser the crude fiber, crude protein and oil content. Results indicated that camelina is a feasible winter crop for Southern Greece and further studies must be carried out to optimize its production.

Published: May 2020

Weed problems were reported in almost all production areas, and management of competing unwanted vegetation has long been an issue for commercial growers all around the world. A field trial was set up in 2016 in Bologa, Cluj county, Romania, in order to examine the influence that different mulches have on weed control, crop growth, yield and soil properties. Weed management is critical for successful production of blueberries. The use of herbicides is becoming increasingly limited, the cost and availability of manual labor are prohibitive factors. There was little research comparing different production strategies in container grown blueberries. The main objective was finding a cost effective weed suppression method that increases yield, promotes vegetative growth and fruit quality. Organic matter (OM) was 6% higher in pine bark treatment compared with weed mat, the pH was not influenced in a significant way by any of the treatments. The number of shoots was higher in pine bark treatment, 1.67 on average, compared to weed mat treatment where the number of shoots was 1.45 this might lead to an increase of production in the following years for pine bark.
The Impact of Airbnb Platforms on the Romanian Real Estate Market
Authors: RĂBOJ Daniela
Published: May 2020

Airbnb or other similar platforms have evolved greatly in recent years and managed to change the perception of accommodation, in the same manner as Uber has changed the perception of public transport. Renting for tourism purposes, through Airbnb type platforms, has a direct impact on investors, state institutions, real estate markets and so on. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of Airbnb type platforms on the Romanian real estate market and to describe the difficulties encountered in evaluating the properties that produce hotel rental income. These analyzes are intended in order to highlight an empirical perspective on this trend. The study consisted of a thorough online research, that took also into consideration legislation in force. In this paper I have presented a series of assessments of the impact on the market value of residential properties in Romania, which the properties listed for rent on Airbnb, seem to have.

Published: May 2020

Laser scanning describes a method by which a surface is sampled or scanned using laser technology. The science of valuation has become more and more sophisticated as the development of society in general and of the economy in particular, in order to meet, eventually, complex information needs. The main idea of this project is to carry out scanning works in the framework of the evaluation report of a property. For this project, The Leica Scanstation C10 laser scanner was used and the following methods were applied for the scan operation: Backward Intersection Method, Deletion Method. For the valuation we used Market approach and Cost approach. The use of the laser scanner led to the expected results, namely the retrieval of an enormous volume of information collected from the field, of extremely high accuracy which subsequently helped to model a large number of details necessary to improve the evaluation process.

Published: May 2020

The purpose of this research was to conduct an ultrasound exam in the interval between 49-120 days of gestation for the determination of fetus sex and to establish the interval when the fetal sexing is possible. The research was carried out in three farms from Transylvania. In farm A were examined 25 animals, in farm B 13 animals and in farm C 11 animals. The diagnosis of the fetal sexing was possible for 35 cases, 14 animals were diagnosed as female and 21 were male. In the interval between 56-65 days of gestation the diagnosis of fetal sexing was established by viewing the genital tubercle and in the interval between 65-90 days of gestation the diagnosis was established by viewing the secondary genital organs. In 14 cases the diagnosis was not set; in 4 cases the conception product has not been sufficiently developed, the genital tubercle was not visible, and in 10 cases the fetus was too big and was impossible to localize the genital organs.

Published: May 2020

The purpose of this work was to describe three mini-invasive techniques for extraarticular stabilization of the deficient stifle based of bone anchores inserted in quasi-isometric sites.Suture stabilization of the stifle consisted of placing a monofilament nylon leader line or polyethylene suture between femoral site adjacent to the distal poles of the fabella, and tibial site immediately cranial to the long digital extensor tendon, using two anchor types. Each stifle was tested (cranial drawer test and tibial compression test) before and after arthroscopic transection of the cranial cruciate ligament and after performing the assigned procedure. Surgical approach, order of procedural steps, drill hole entrance and exit points, and techniques for anchors placement, tensioning, and securing were described.The results of the cranial drawer test and tibial compression test do not show statistically significant differences between the three applied techniques. All three techniques provide passive stability to the deficient stifle.
Toward Premodern Globalism: Oceanic Exemplarity in Chaucer's Man of Law's Tale
Authors: Taylor Jamie K.
Published: May 2020

This essay reads Chaucer's Man of Law's Tale—a retelling of the popular Constance exemplum—as a case study for thinking about a global Middle Ages. The tale's globalism emerges most pointedly in its depiction of the ocean and, more surprisingly, in Constance's pale face during her trial for a murder she did not commit. By reading these unlikely images together, this essay argues that both operate as oceanic sites of exemplary justice and that the Man of Law frames the Constance story as a call for global justice outside the reach of territorial law. Chaucer imagines a legality that works like exemplarity, conceptualizing witness testimony in particular as a fluid narrative form that can accommodate the needs and expectations of various audiences, cultures, and temporalities.

Shakespeare's Notation: Writing Sound inMuch Ado about Nothing
Authors: Trudell Scott A.
Published: May 2020

In Act 5 ofMuch Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare Dramatizes Two Consecutive Episodes in Which Writing Poetry is Mixed suggestively with singing, recalling, or imitating music. The first comes when Benedick sings or speaks several lines from the popular ballad “The God of Love.” The second is Claudio's musical rite of contrition for slandering Hero and (he believes) causing her death. In both cases, poetry is produced through writing practices that are interwoven with song. Indeed, Shakespeare yokes literacy and aurality together in the same keyword,noting, which referred both to writing and to musical notes, and which (as scholars have long observed) is hownothingwas pronounced in early modern English. Benedick seeks poetic inspiration from the notes of balladry, then bemoans his inability to versify in rhyme. Claudio not only sees that his epitaph is notated, read aloud, and hung on the tomb; he calls for a corresponding hymn to be sung. Taken together, the scenes attune us to forms of poetic making that are irreducible to writing or language—those overdetermined categories in literary studies that have enabled our neglect of the role that nonverbal sound has played in poetic composition.

Effect of infilled materials and arrangements on shear characteristics of stacked soilbags
Authors: Fan K. , Liu S. H. , Cheng Y. P. (Helen) , Liao J.
Published: May 2020

The shear characteristics of stacked soilbags are related to their interlayer arrangements and the properties of the materials with which the bags (geosynthetics) are filled. To study the effects of those factors on the shear strength and failure mode of stacked soilbags, a series of shear tests were conducted. The results show that although the shear failure surface occurred at the horizontal interface between soilbags when they were stacked vertically, it was ladder-like when the soilbags were stacked in a staggered manner. The angle of insertion was found to govern the shape of the shear failure surface and, thus, the final shear strength of soilbags stacked in a staggered manner. Two shear failure modes of the stacked soilbags were observed with different infilled materials. When the frictional resistance of the contact interface was smaller than the shear strength of the materials with which the bags was filled, only interlayer sliding failure occurred. Otherwise, the simple shear failure of materials filling the bags occurred first, followed by interlayer sliding failure.

Personality disorder in an Early Intervention Psychosis cohort: Findings from the Social Epidemiology of Psychoses in East Anglia (SEPEA) study v1
Authors: Ban Ka-young , Osborn D , Hameed Y , Pandey S , Perez J , Jones PB , Kirkbride JB
Published: May 2020

Aim: Personality Disorders (PD) often share clinical and phenomenological overlap with psychotic disorders, especially at onset. However, there is little research on comorbid PD among people experiencing first episode psychosis. We examined the prevalence of PD recording and its sociodemographic and clinical correlates in people accepted to Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) services. Methods: Participants were aged 16-35, accepted into 6 EIP services for suspected psychosis, as part of the Social Epidemiology of Psychoses in East Anglia (SEPEA) study. PD was recorded by clinicians according to ICD-10. Multilevel logistic regression was performed. Results: Of 798 participants, 76 people (9.5%) received a clinical diagnosis of PD, with emotionally unstable PD (75.0%, N=57) the most common subtype. In multivariable analysis, risk factors for PD included female sex (odds ratio [OR]: 3.4; 95% CI: 2.0-5.7), absence of psychotic disorder after acceptance to EIP (OR: 3.0; 95% CI: 1.6-5.5), more severe hallucinations (OR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2-2.1), and lower parental SES (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1-1.8). Compared with the white British, black and minority ethnic groups were less likely to receive a PD diagnosis (OR: 0.3; 95% CI: 0.1-0.7). There was no association between PD and neighbourhood-level deprivation or population-density. Conclusions: Recording of a PD diagnosis was three times more common amongst participants later found not to meet threshold criteria for psychotic disorder, implying phenomenological overlap at referral which highlights difficulties encountered in accurate diagnostic assessment, treatment and onward referral. People with PD experienced more individual-level, but not neighbourhood-level social disadvantage in an already disadvantaged sample.

This protocol describes the implementation of a dummytube system in AJCC stage III melanoma patients, to investigate whether serum S-100B levels can be falsely elevated by adipocyte contamination in the first drawn serum separation tube. A dummy tube system was introduced for performance of venipunctures during regular follow-up in all AJCC stage III melanoma patients, with no evidence of disease.After venipuncture, a dummy tube was drawn first, and subsequently the regular tube was drawn. The first tube was anonymously coded and stored, while the second tube was registered in the patients’ medical results. After performing the assay, S-100B levels between the two consecutively drawn samples were compared.
Mild Hypothermia to prevent Acute kidney injury in Liver Transplantation (MHALT) Trial - Statistical Analysis Plan for the Interim Analysis, v1.0 v1
Authors: Bokoch Michael , Niemann Claus , Adelmann Dieter , Kothari Rishi
Published: May 2020

Acute kidney injury (AKI), or worsening kidney function, is a common complication after liver transplantation (20-90% in published studies). Patients who experience AKI after liver transplantation have higher mortality, increased graft loss, longer hospital and intensive care unit stays, and more progression to chronic kidney disease compared with those who do not. In this study, half of the participants will have their body temperature cooled to slightly lower than normal (mild hypothermia) for a portion of the liver transplant operation, while the other half will have their body temperature maintained at normal. The study will evaluate if mild hypothermia protects from AKI during liver transplantation. This study is a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial of mild hypothermia during liver transplantation to provide protection from AKI. Participants will be randomized to normothermia (36.5-37.5 °C) versus mild hypothermia (34-35 °C) during a portion of the liver transplant operation. The protocol is based on preliminary data from rodent models showing that hypothermia protects the kidneys from ischemia-reperfusion injury, as well as studies in deceased organ donors showing that cooling improves post-transplant organ function. Temperature will be maintained with standard techniques plus a minimally-invasive esophageal cooling device that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The investigators hypothesize that mild hypothermia will reduce the incidence and severity of AKI after LTx. Standard surrogates (e.g., change in serum creatinine, need for initiation of dialysis) and biomarkers will be used to assess the severity of kidney injury.

Sustainable Development of Single-Industry Towns in Siberia and the Russian Far East: What is the Price of Regional Economic Growth?
Authors: Pyzheva Yulia I.
Published: May 2020

One of the most well-known and relatively easy to compute integral indicators of sustainable development is the indicator of genuine savings. In the present article the emphasis is made on the modifications of the method of genuine savings calculation for the level of municipal units on the example of single-industry towns (monotowns) of Siberia and the Russian Far East. This choice of the object of the study is conditioned by the hypothesis that it is municipalities that experience most of the environmental and social consequences of economic growth in regions. The enterprises’ reports gave rise to the database, which was then used to calculate the genuine savings values of Siberian and Far Eastern single-industry towns. The result is a new classification of single-industry towns, which includes four clusters allocated depending on the level of genuine savings, industry of specialization and population. The new approach to the classification of singleindustry towns can be used by regional and municipal authorities to form a differentiated policy for the sustainable development. The analysis of the average genuine savings of different towns by region has shown that even if the region as a whole is characterized by quite high values of genuine savings, the towns, in which there are real enterprises that yield most of the gross domestic product of the country, experience negative values of genuine savings and are often on the verge of environmental or social disaster

Published: May 2020

A first consistent and homogenized polygon-based inventory of rock glaciers of the Austrian Alps is presented. Compiling previous inventories and updating them by using digital elevation models (1 m grid resolution) derived from airborne laser scanning yield a dataset of 5769 rock glaciers in a ca. 48400 km2 large area. A consistent methodological approach for assigning attributes, stored in a detailed attribute table, was developed and applied here to improve comparability and reproducibility. The majority (60 %) of the studied landforms is considered to be relict (no permafrost); the remaining 40 % may still contain permafrost ice and are thus classified as intact. Rock glaciers range in elevation from 476 to 3312 m a.s.l. and cover a total area of 303 km2. The distribution of rock glaciers is mainly related to the topography of the Austrian Alps and related effects such as past glaciation history.

In addition, a comprehensive analysis of the hydrological catchment areas of all individual rock glaciers was carried out. A hydrological catchment analysis in rock glacier areas is of great interest for sustainable water management issues in alpine catchments as these landforms represent shallow aquifer systems with a relatively high storage and thus buffer capability, especially in crystalline bedrock areas. A total area of almost 1280 km2 is drained through rock glaciers.

The presented rock glacier and rock glacier catchment inventories provide an important basis for further research, particularly for a better understanding of the hydrogeology and geomorphology of alpine catchments and their potential alteration in the light of climate change, but also in terms of paleoglaciation and deglaciation in the Alpine Lateglacial to Holocene period. As such, the inventories are seen as an important base to stimulate further research.

Çalışma kapsamında sığınmacıların Türkiye’ye giriş yapmaya başladığı 2011 yılının Nisan ayından, 2018 yılının sonuna kadar siyasi tutumları farklı olan Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet, Sabah, Sözcü ve Türkiye gazetelerinde yayımlanan ve Suriyeli sığınmacı kadınları konu edinen haberler analiz edilmiştir. Bu haberlere, “Suriyeli kadın” anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak PRNet adlı medya takip şirketinin veritabanı aracılığıyla ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, Türk basınının Suriye’de çıkan iç savaş sonucunda Türkiye’ye gelen Suriyeli sığınmacı kadınlara yönelik bakış açısını belirlemek ve Suriyeli sığınmacı kadınların hangi konular etrafında ele alındığını ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma Suriyeli sığınmacı kadınların Türk Basınında nasıl temsil edildiği sorunsalına odaklanmaktadır. Çalışmanın yöntemi nicel ve nitel içerik analizidir. Bulgular sonucunda, Türk basını Suriyeli sığınmacı kadınlara yönelik genel olarak olumlu ve yansız bir bakış açısına sahip gibi görünse de “sığınmacılar” ve “kadınlar” için üretilen uluslararası stereotiplerin aynen üretildiği sonucuna bu çalışmada da ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca gazetelerin siyasi tutumları haber içeriklerinde gazetelerin siyasi pozisyonlarına göre hükümet eleştirisi ya da övgüsü şeklinde kendini göstermektedir.

A better understanding of the Dead Sea basin (DSB) tectonics and hazards can be achieved through high-sensitivity observations of its seismic activity. Accordingly, we have taken advantage of the Masada deep borehole (MDBI), an abandoned oil well on the western shore of the Dead Sea rift, to install a seismometer at 1516 m below sea level—a 2 Hz three-component seismometer. The MDBI station is near the east Masada fault, part of the western boundary fault of the DSB. Seismological measurements conducted at these depths can provide more information than possible with surface observations—in this case, recording 1491 high-quality seismograms as compared to 103 by the local national network. The MDBI seismograms also have significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio than the on-surface observations of nearby Israel Seismic Network (ISN) stations. This lowers the detection threshold down to well below M = 0 on the ISN scale. Many of these earthquakes, sometimes occurring in clusters, take place almost under MDBI, at depths of 10–25 km. Using cross-correlation techniques, we found several sequences of earthquake clusters underneath both the station and along the Dead Sea fault (DSF). The b-value obtained by the frequency–magnitude relationship of these events is somewhat higher than the value for the DSF area taken as a whole.

Oncological patients are a high-risk group for venous thromboembolic complications. These complications significantly impair the outcome of antitumor treatment and take a leading place in the structure of mortality. Treatment of venous thromboembolic complications in oncological patients is a serious challenge. When selecting an anticoagulant, the physician should consider its efficacy and safety and possible drug interactions. Based on results of multiple studies presented in this article, physicians will be able to choose an optimum therapeutic tactics and secondary prevention of thromboembolic complications for this group of patients.
Myocardial work in assessment of left ventricular systolic function
Authors: Ivanov S. I. , Alekhin M. N.
Published: May 2020

This review focuses on a new method for noninvasive, complex evaluation of left ventricular (LV) systolic function using an echocardiography-based technology of computing indexes of myocardial performance by construction of pressure-deformation curves. Since this new method accounts for the effect of afterload on myocardial contractility, the article presents data demonstrating advantages of the evaluation of LV myocardial performance over the speckle-tracking echocardiography and other methods in diagnostics of several diseases. The review provides a description of this method and its advantages and limitations. The authors analyzed results of major studies on evaluation of LV performance. Prospects of implementation and practical use of the method are discussed in the aspects of diagnostics of cardiovascular diseases and risk stratification for different groups of patients.

ObjectiveComparative analysis of structural and functional specific features of the heart in patients with toxic cardiomyopathy (TCMP) with a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and severe, chronic heart failure (CHF) and in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) and similar LVEF and CHF severity.Materials and MethodsThis observational, single-site study included 15 patients with TCMP (12 of them received treatment including anthracycline antibiotics and 3 patients received targeted therapies) and 26 patients with idiopathic DCMP. Data of echocardiography were compared for patients with TCMP and DCMP with comparably low LVEF of <40 %.Results In patientswith severe heart damage associated with antitumor therapy with low LVEF, volumetric and linear indexes of left and right ventricles and the left atrium (left atrial volume index (LAVI), 33.7 (21.5–36.9) ml / m2; right ventricular end-diastolic dimension (RVDd), 2.49 (1.77–3.53) cm; and end-diastolic volume index (EDVI), 78.0 (58.7–90.0) ml / m2) were considerably less than in the DCMP group (LAVI, 67.1 (51.1–85.0) ml / m2; RVDd, 4.05 (3.6–4.4) cm; and EDVI, 117.85 (100.6–138.5) ml / m2, p<0.0001). Furthermore, LV wall thickness and pulmonary artery systolic pressure did not differ in these groups. Both in men and women with TCMP, LAVI and EDVI were significantly less than in men and women with DCMP.ConclusionThe study showed significant differences in parameters of cardiac remodeling. In TCMP patients as distinct from DCMP patients, despite a pronounced decrease in LVEF, LV dilatation was absent or LV volumetric parameters were moderately increased with a more severe somatic status.

A MANUTENÇÃO DAS APP’S URBANAS E O ORDENAMENTO TERRITORIAL: APONTAMENTOS SOBRE PAU DOS FERROS/RN
Authors: Da Silva Manoel Mariano Neto , Carvalho Carla Caroline Alves , Alves Larissa Da Silva Ferreira , Pinto Filho Jorge Luis de Oliveira
Published: May 2020

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os reflexos do ordenamento territorial sobre a manutenção das APP’s urbanas na cidade de Pau dos Ferros/RN, de modo a elencar suas principais potencialidades e desafios. Para tanto, adotou-se o método dedutivo e como base metodológica, a revisão de literatura e o mapeamento das áreas de preservação permanente com auxílio do Qgis e imagens de satélite. As APP’s urbanas de Pau dos Ferros sofreram uma ocupação gradativa, decorrente da expansão urbana no sentido da periferia, colocando a população em risco ambiental. Ressalta-se a inexistência de ferramentas legislativas municipais que possibilitem o zoneamento ambiental, o que evidencia a desarticulação com as políticas nacionais que ordenam o território. Há um descaso do poder público com a temática, tendo em vista a ausência do monitoramento da ocupação, que se reflete na supressão e degradação desses ambientes. A carência de educação ambiental também contribui para o agravamento das condições desses ambientes. Desta maneira, a preservação e manutenção das APP’s deve ser entendida como uma prática de ordenamento territorial local, que deve partir da implementação de mecanismos estruturais e não estruturais por parte das autoridades municipais, com ênfase à promoção da educação ambiental da população e monitoramento das áreas.

O desenvolvimento regional também é proveniente de avanços nas indústrias com ênfase em aspectos econômicos, contudo, deve estar alinhado aos aspectos sociais, por exemplo, gerando-se impactos positivos à sociedade. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar estudos de desenvolvimento regional, focando-se no contexto brasileiro. Foi realizada busca por artigos na base de dados bibliográficos Scopus, utilizando a palavra-chave regional development. O total de artigos gerado para análise bibliométrica, foi considerado sem nenhuma exclusão. Posteriormente, foi efetuada uma limitação para o total de artigos (geração de outro portfólio com artigos somente vinculados aos autores e/ou co-autores brasileiros) para análise qualitativa. Os respectivos focos de artigos são relatados. Na maior parcela, os estudos tratam de análises de impactos, positivos e/ou negativos, socioeconômicos, políticos e outros, atuantes em regiões de populações brasileiras de cenários rurais ou urbanos. Uma visão ampla e multidisciplinar acerca de desenvolvimento regional foi apresentada.
REGIONAL DISPARITIES, PUBLIC POLICIES AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN BRAZIL
Authors: Ladvocat Marcelo , Lucas Vander
Published: May 2020

Fiscal Federalism, the division of economic responsibilities between the central and local government, has been an ongoing debate. The few existing studies on Brazilian’s fiscal structure facing regional economic growth shows conflicting results. However fiscal decentralization can lead to a more efficient provision of local public goods and services to promote welfare state, citizen’s preferences and economic growth, Brazil's policymakers seem to have a different view. In a country where only three states in 26 hold 53% of Brazil’s PNB, disparities shows-up claiming to be solved. There are still some questions as to whether all regions can achieve real gains with greater autonomy. Decentralization may not solve all subnational entities problems, especially the issue of the poorer regions losing competitiveness about the richer regions, which increases regional disparities. In this way, more recent studies have focused on the different channels through which fiscal decentralization can affect the issue of disparities such as taxes and duties, the autonomy of spending and vertical fiscal imbalance. The present work investigates the relationship between fiscal decentralization, regional disparities and economic growth within 26 Brazilian’s states and Federal District, in the period 2001-2012. Attention was given to channels through which decentralization can affect inequality: human capital, vertical fiscal imbalance, population’s geographic concentration, and local taxes. The empirical analysis suggests that a decentralized fiscal structure can reduce regional disparities by implementing better government policies that favor local economic development.

Vingadores: Ultimato foi lançado em abril de 2019 e se tornou o filme mais lucrativo da Marvel nos cinemas. Neste artigo, buscamos investigar, nesse contexto, as maneiras pelas quais a Marvel, cinematograficamente, articula performances, formações de sujeitos, construções de gosto e agenciamentos em redes. Para tal, investigamos a noite de estreia do filme no Shopping Recife, em Recife (PE), a partir de três chaves conceituais de acesso: globalizações heterogêneas e senso de pertencimento; performances de gosto e construções de si; e atravessamentos de redes de heróis, fãs e experiências. Ao fim, concluímos que a maneira como a Marvel se organiza narrativamente se entrecruza com redes produtivas e de consumo e também se materializam na estreia a partir de construções de sensos de pertencimento.
