A toxikológia rövid története – a tapasztalattól a tudományig
Authors: Tompa Anna , Balázs Péter
Published: January 2018

Abstract:

Toxicology is a science of poisonings by xenobiotics and endogenous physiological changes. Its empiric roots may be traced back to the emerging of the human race because the most important pledge of our predecessors’ survival was the differentiation between eatable and poisonous plants and animals. In the course of social evolution, there were three main fields of using poisons: 1) hunting and warfare, 2) to settle social tensions by avoiding military conflicts through hiding strategy of eliminating enemies by toxic substances, 3) medicines applied first as anti-poisons and later by introducing strong substances to defeat diseases, but paradoxically active euthanasia is also a part of the whole story. The industrial revolution of the 19th century changed the sporadic occupational diseases to mass conditions. Later the chemical industry and subsequently the mass production of synthetic materials turned out as a global environmental catastrophe. This latest change initiated the emerging of ecological toxicology which is a future history of the concerning ancient science. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(3): 83–90.

Resumo: Objetivamos, neste artigo, relacionar a evasão do ex-aluno do curso de matemática da Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM) e sua necessidade de trabalhar, à luz da teoria de Michel Foucault, utilizando-nos de enunciados proferidos pelos próprios alunos evadidos. Para tanto, levantamos os dados oficiais da UEM acerca da evasão no curso de Matemática entre os anos de 2003 a 2013, buscamos e analisamos trabalhos científicos que tratam do objeto evasão e aplicamos uma entrevista com 26 evadidos. O objetivo da pesquisa, além da verificação das representações que os evadidos têm da sua evasão e sua necessidade de trabalhar, é incitar uma discussão crítica das representações do maior envolvido com a evasão, uma vez que as representações mostram sua subjetividade. Pretendemos descrever quais são os sujeitos evadidos e em que discurso estão inseridos. Almejamos dar voz aos sujeitos excluídos. Podemos afirmar que “sujeito evadido” se constitui em seu próprio discurso.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the frequency of malnutrition and food consumption of children with cerebral palsy according to the age at the beginning of speech and hearing rehabilitation treatment. Methods Two to eleven-year-old children diagnosed with cerebral palsy who had up to three months of speech-language and nutritional rehabilitation were included in two reference centers in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The following measurement of the children were taken: weight, knee height, arm circumference and triceps skinfold. Weight, estimated height and body mass index were classified into Z-scores according to the World Health Organization curves. Brachial circumference, triceps skinfold and arm circumference were classified according to Frisancho. The 24-hour recall was used to calculate intake of calories, proteins, calcium, iron, vitamin A, and zinc using the NutriWin software. Results A total of 68 patients were evaluated. Children older than five had a higher frequency of malnutrition when weight (.=0.02) and arm circumference (.<0.001) were considered, although there was less triceps malnutrition (.=0.002). These also had lower calorie consumption per kg/day, protein/kg/day and calcium than the younger children. Conclusion The greatest nutritional impairment after the age of five suggests that nutritional and speech therapy interventions could have a greater effect if they were performed before that age.

Published: January 2018

No presente trabalho, apresentamos definições operacionais para as grandezas físicas distância, massa e tempo. Tentativas de formular uma definição operacional bem fundamentada para grandezas físicas foram primeiramente propostas no fim do século 19 por Hermann von Helmholtz e Otto Hölder. O problema consiste em como associar um número (o valor da grandeza) com uma entidade não-numérica (a própria grandeza). O trabalho apresenta uma releitura moderna dos autores mencionados. Parafraseando Feynman no seu clássico trabalho das integrais de caminho, “there is a pleasure in recognizing old things from a new point of view”.
A categorização e a validação das respostas abertas em surveys políticos
Authors: Henkel Karl
Published: January 2018

Resumo O artigo trata do problema da categorização de respostas sobre política, governo e democracia, obtidas por meio de perguntas abertas e levantadas num survey com 800 entrevistados. Para identificar o grau de compreensibilidade das perguntas, realizaram-se um pré-teste e uma análise de não resposta, elaborando-se um perfil psicométrico. Na categorização o método dedutivo se mostrou superior ao indutivo. Observa-se uma influência midiática e da posição no ciclo de vida na percepção dos entrevistados sobre política e governo. A validação intra e interconfiabilidade mostra que codificadores, em dado momento, começam a aceitar respostas irracionais como racionais e podem estar sujeitos a um framing.

Optimal reliability based design of V-shaped anchor trenches for MSW landfills
Authors: Raviteja K. V. N. S. , Basha B. M.
Published: January 2018

Geomembrane liners that are installed in anchor trenches may experience pullout failure when the applied tensile stress exceeds the allowable strength of the liner. Deterministic analysis approaches do not consider the variability of the unit weight and friction angle of the soil, interface friction between the geomembrane and the cover soil, and tensile strength of the geomembrane. An analytical expression based on the Euler-Eytelwein equation is derived for the mobilized tension in the anchor. This paper proposes a new procedure for the target reliability-based design optimization (TRBDO) of V-shaped anchor trenches. The effect of the bend resistance on the GMB tensile force and reliability index is discussed. This approach is used to determine an optimal allowable geomembrane tensile force required to avoid pullout failure such that the prescribed reliability indices are attained in the presence of parameter variability. The optimization methodology is useful to develop modifications for conventional analytical models in practice. Thus, the proposed procedure combines modern concepts of reliability analysis, anchor trench design, and nonlinear constrained optimization to develop a rational and practical procedure for the optimal design of V-shaped anchor trenches.
Fibroblast-Specific β-Catenin Signaling Dictates the Outcome of AKI

Published: January 2018

AKI is a devastating condition with high morbidity and mortality. The pathologic features of AKI are characterized by tubular injury, inflammation, and vascular impairment. Whether fibroblasts in the renal interstitium have a role in the pathogenesis of AKI is unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of fibroblast-specific β-catenin signaling in dictating the outcome of AKI, using conditional knockout mice in which β-catenin was specifically ablated in fibroblasts (Gli1-β-cat−/−). After ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), Gli1-β-cat−/− mice had lower serum creatinine levels and less morphologic injury than Gli1-β-cat+/+ littermate controls. Moreover, we detected fewer apoptotic cells, as well as decreased cytochrome C release; reduced expression of Bax, FasL, and p53; and increased phosphorylation of Akt, in the Gli1-β-cat−/− kidneys. Gli1-β-cat−/− kidneys also exhibited upregulated expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Ki-67, which are markers of cell proliferation. Furthermore, Gli1-β-cat−/− kidneys displayed suppressed NF-κB signaling and cytokine expression and reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells. Notably, loss of β-catenin in fibroblasts induced renal expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and augmented the tyrosine phosphorylation of c-met receptor after IRI. In vitro, treatment with Wnt ligands or ectopic expression of active β-catenin inhibited HGF mRNA and protein expression and repressed HGF promoter activity. Collectively, these results suggest that fibroblast-specific β-catenin signaling can control tubular injury and repair in AKI by modulating HGF expression. Our studies uncover a previously unrecognized role for interstitial fibroblasts in the pathogenesis of AKI.

This study evaluated the shear stress distribution on the adhesive interface and the bond strength between resin cement and two ceramics. For finite element analysis (FEA), a tridimensional model was made using computer-aided design software. This model consisted of a ceramic slice (10x10x2mm) partially embedded on acrylic resin with a resin cement cylinder (Ø=3.4 mm and h=3mm) cemented on the external surface. Results of maximum principal stress and maximum principal shear were obtained to evaluate the stress generated on the ceramic and the cylinder surfaces. In order to reproduce the in vitro test, similar samples to the computational model were manufactured according to ceramic material (Zirconia reinforced lithium silicate - ZLS and high translucency Zirconia - YZHT), (N=48, n=12). Half of the specimens were submitted to shear bond test after 24h using a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min, 50kgf) until fracture. The other half was stored (a) (180 days, water, 37ºC) prior to the test. Bond strength was calculated in MPa and submitted to analysis of variance. The results showed that ceramic material influenced bond strength mean values (p=0.002), while aging did not: YZHT (19.80±6.44)a, YZHTa (17.95±7.21)a, ZLS (11.88±5.40)b, ZLSa (11.76±3.32)b. FEA results showed tensile and shear stress on ceramic and cylinder surfaces with more intensity on their periphery. Although the stress distribution was similar for both conditions, YZHT showed higher bond strength values; however, both materials seemed to promote durable bond strength.

An in-depth study the possible links of the stress-protective action of oligopeptides - homologues of the of adrenocorticotropic hormone fragment (15-18) on the model of acute immobilization stress has been carried out. A marked antioxidant effect, not inferior to the reference medicine “Semax”, has been detected in the blood serum and liver of the rats. The results of the morphological study of liver tissue also indicate the normalization of the stress-induced damage in the organ under the influence of oligopeptides (KK-1, KK-5). Both peptides have been exceeded the reference drug, however, the peptide KK-1 had the marked positive effect on the reduction of histological structure of the liver. The stress-protective action of the investigated oligopeptides KK-1 and KK-5 is confirmed by their ability to reduce the increased activity of steroidogenesis and reduce the release of catecholamines, as well as normalize the damaged structure of the adrenal cortex. According to the indices of the adrenal structure recovering, the peptide KK-1 exceeded the reference drug and the peptide KK-1.

Published: January 2018

Recruitment is a function of human resource management by which an organization can attract the potential candidates and select the most appropriate employees for the organization. Now-a-days the people are extensively adaptive to the technology and that’s why e-recruitment has become a popular practice followed by the organization for hiring employees. This is an exploratory research with the aim of identifying how e-recruitment and internet is influencing the overall recruitment process of an organization in context of Multinational companies of Bangladesh. In this study, multinational organizations of Bangladesh have been taken as population according to their participation in e-recruitment activities. The sample was drawn from the renowned companies and data were collected from various levels of respondents in context of the job seekers. Statistical analysis has been used to prove that there is a significant statistical analysis of how e-recruitment is practiced and the relationship between e-recruitment and overall recruitment process. It also concluded that there is a moderate relationship between these two variables and the job seekers feel convenient to search potential jobs for their prosperous career. So it is recommended that the organization should continue to use e-recruitment and online sources for hiring candidates so that they can match with the global business world.

“Vocês conhecem algumx ‘heterossexual flexível’?”: masculinidades performativas em debate
Authors: Couto Junior Dilton Ribeiro , Brito Leandro Teofilo de
Published: January 2018

A proposta do texto é investigar como o processo de constituição das masculinidades como enunciações performativas auxilia na formulação de críticas à masculinidade normativa. Para isso, analisamos duas conversas online realizadas no Facebook em 2015 com um grupo de jovens que não se identificam com a heterossexualidade e que vêm utilizando a referida rede digital como possibilidade de repensar os corpos, gêneros e sexualidades para além de modelos normativos binários. A pesquisa online foi desenvolvida por meio dos princípios da alteridade e do dialogismo de Mikhail Bakhtin, imprescindíveis para reconhecer pesquisador e sujeitos como atores sociais que buscam, coletivamente, novas formas de produzir conhecimento. O referencial teórico adotado para a análise das conversas é amparado, principalmente, pelas contribuições da teórica feminista Judith Butler, que compreende o gênero como performativo. Com base em seus estudos, reconhecemos a infinitude de sentidos possíveis atribuídos ao masculino e a necessidade de desestabilização dos essencialismos identitários. O material empírico produzido com os sujeitos evidenciou a denúncia de normas regulatórias de gênero que insistem em privilegiar determinadas formas de ser e de estar no mundo. Somado a isso, esse material trouxe a oportunidade para que pudéssemos tecer algumas breves reflexões para pensar uma educação subversiva à luz do pensamento queer. Isso implicou no desafio de reconhecermos a necessidade de expor, nos cotidianos escolares, os limites e fragilidades de uma masculinidade normativa que impede a capacidade humana de fabricar corpos, gêneros e sexualidades para além das heteronormas.

Published: January 2018

While traditionally people relinquish their pets to an animal shelter or pound, the internet provides a newer method to re-home. We analysed advertisements (ads) on the largest website in Australia for trading dogs and cats, gumtree.com.au. Data was collected in 2016. Dogs were sampled on February 7, 16 and 24, 2016 and cats on February 9, 19 and 26, 2016 with 2640 ads for relinquished dogs, and 2093 ads for relinquished cats. It was estimated >31,000 puppies/dogs and >24,000 kittens/cats are relinquished on gumtree.com.au per year. The median age of dogs was 1.42 and cats 0.9 years of age. There were 23% of dog ads and 62% of cat ads for free animals. Compared to the human population there were proportionately more ads in Queensland and fewer ads in Victoria. A total of 15 people were surveyed who had relinquished a dog or cat using gumtree.com.au. The dog owners used gumtree.com.au because they believed the shelters were full (n = 4), and; they wanted to see/interview the new owner (n = 2). For cat owners it was because they had originally got the cat on gumtree.com.au (n = 2); they use gumtree.com.au for other things, and it works (n = 2), and; they wanted to see/interview the new owner (n = 2). The data collected will be valuable for implementation of policy and interventions to protect the welfare of un-wanted dogs and cats.
Donor Human Milk Protects against Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Villamor-Martínez Eduardo , Pierro Maria , Cavallaro Giacomo , Mosca Fabio , Kramer Boris W. , Villamor Eduardo
Published: January 2018

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common complication after preterm birth. Pasteurized donor human milk (DHM) has increasingly become the standard of care for very preterm infants over the use of preterm formula (PF) if mother’s own milk (MOM) is unavailable. Studies have reported beneficial effects of DHM on BPD. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies on the effects of DHM on BPD and other respiratory outcomes. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of RCT’s could not demonstrate that supplementation of MOM with DHM reduced BPD when compared to PF (3 studies, risk ratio [RR] 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.60–1.32). However, meta-analysis of observational studies showed that DHM supplementation reduced BPD (8 studies, RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.67–0.90). An exclusive human milk diet reduced the risk of BPD, compared to a diet with PF and/or bovine milk-based fortifier (3 studies, RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68–0.95). Feeding raw MOM, compared to feeding pasteurized MOM, protected against BPD (2 studies, RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.62–0.96). In conclusion, our data suggest that DHM protects against BPD in very preterm infants, but pasteurization of human milk reduces the benefit.
What is Developmental Dyslexia?
Authors: Stein John
Published: January 2018

Until the 1950s, developmental dyslexia was defined as a hereditary visual disability, selectively affecting reading without compromising oral or non-verbal reasoning skills. This changed radically after the development of the phonological theory of dyslexia; this not only ruled out any role for visual processing in its aetiology, but also cast doubt on the use of discrepancy between reading and reasoning skills as a criterion for diagnosing it. Here I argue that this theory is set at too high a cognitive level to be explanatory; we need to understand the pathophysiological visual and auditory mechanisms that cause children’s phonological problems. I discuss how the ‘magnocellular theory’ attempts to do this in terms of slowed and error prone temporal processing which leads to dyslexics’ defective visual and auditory sequencing when attempting to read. I attempt to deal with the criticisms of this theory and show how it leads to a number of successful ways of helping dyslexic children to overcome their reading difficulties.
A Well Control Procedure for Wells with High Rate Upward Crossflow
Authors: El-Nekhily Mohamed M. , Al-Hajri Nasser M. , Al-Ageel Ibraheem M. , Al-Obaidi Ibrahim A.
Published: January 2018

This paper describes a new procedure/technique which was used to control wells with high upward crossflow. The procedure was successfully deployed in four wells at different occasions. The subject wells, located in brown fields, are tubingless water injectors identified with shallow casing leaks. The shallow leaks were located above an existing liner hanger. The casing leaks prompted upward crossflow of high magnitude in all four wells. The downhole dynamic upward crossflow took place between two formations at shut-in conditions. Water was flowing from a deep high pressure zone to a shallow low pressure zone through the casing leak in all wells. The crossflows were confirmed inside the wellbore and their flowrates were determined using electric line flowmeter measurement. Conventional methods such as surface bullheading, downhole dynamic kill, and mechanical plugs installation had previously been used, and proven costly and ineffective atsuch high rates.

This new procedure repurposes several oilfield workover equipment items to achieve well control in cases of dynamic upward crossflow. The procedure deploys a drill string that comprises a modified liner tie-back stem, casing joints, liner top packer without slips, float sub with float valve, and all associated running equipment. This drill string is then stung into an existing liner tie-back area. This tie-back area was already existent in all four wells and is fundamental to implementing the proposed procedure. The modified liner tie-back stem (which is the bottom component of the drill string) forms a metal to metal contact with the existing tie-back area. Although the contact may not entirely form a pressure seal, it will decrease the crossflow rate entering the leak area. The liner top packer is then set without slips to allow for future retrieval after killing the well to cure the casing leak. After setting the liner top packer, a normal kill fluid bullheading is performed using the appropriate mud weight through the drill string to achieve the required well control.

The field deployment of this new technique resulted in safe, successful, and cost-effective well control in all four case studies. In addition, costly remedial actions such as drilling relief wells and premature well plug and abandonment were avoided. The paper will describe in details the new procedure, equipment used, conveyance method, and related engineering calculations.

A região nordeste do Brasil, especialmente nas áreas costeiras, tem-se assistido a um rápido crescimento no número de parques eólicos, bem como conflitos econômicos e socioambientais envolvendo residentes de comunidades tradicionais, que muitas vezes são "invisíveis" para as elites políticas e econômicas. O presente artigo analisa como a instalação de um parque eólico nos campos de dunas na comunidade do Cumbe, município de Aracati, estado do Ceará tem interferido nas formas de convivência da comunidade com o seu território. Dessa forma o estudo colabora na ampliação de uma bibliografia nacional e internacional, tendo em vista a possibilidade de inclusão dos espaços de lazer nas discussões sobre os impactos dos projetos eólicos, além de contribuir para melhorar a visibilidade dos conflitos em territórios tradicionais brasileiros.
MULHERES DAS ROCAS: IMERSÃO DO DOCUMENTÁRIO NO ESPAÇOTEMPO DOS PERSONAGENS DO SAMBA EM NATAL/RN / ROCAS’S WOMEN: IMMERSION OF THE DOCUMENTARY IN SPACE AND TIME OF SAMBA CHARACTERS IN NATAL, BRAZIL
Authors: Coradini Lisabete , Pavan Maria Angela
Published: January 2018

Este artigo traz uma reflexão sobre o método na construção do documentário As mulheres das Rocas são as vozes do samba. As mulheres das Rocas (bairro popular) são as guardiãs das memórias do samba local – além de detentoras da história, têm papel ativo desde o início na construção das escolas de samba em Natal (RN). Para realizar o documentário nos envolvemos com os acontecimentos locais durante quatro anos; desta forma, construímos um arquivo de fatos e entrevistas para documentação da história do samba, e entre lembranças, fotos, imagens e músicas, o audiovisual permitiu nos relacionarmos de forma intensa no espaço-tempo de cada entrevistada, que possibilitou conhecimento ativo na vida das mulheres do samba das Rocas. Descrevemos neste artigo o método utilizado, nossas pesquisas, leituras e reflexões, buscando as abordagens teóricas sobre a etnografia da duração de Eckert e Rocha e de MacDougall; e sobre a perspectiva de resgate das memórias de Sarlo e de Nora.ABSTRACTThis paper shall reflect on the construction method used in the documentary As mulheres das Rocas são as vozes do samba. Rocas’s Women (a popular neighborhood in Northeast Brazil) are memory guardians of the local samba. Besides being history owners, they have an active role since the beginning of Natal’s (RN, Brazil) samba schools foundation. To do this documentary we were involved with local events for four years. This was a way to construct an archive of facts and interviews to the samba history documentation. Among memories, photographs, pictures and songs that we were able to relate with the space-time of each interviewed woman, the audiovisual allowed the creation of this intense relation and made an active knowledge about life of samba women from Rocas possible. In this study we describe the used methodology, our researches, readings and reflections, based on the theoretical approach of the length of time ethnography, of Eckert and Rocha and MacDougall; and also on the rescue perspective of memories of Sarlo and Nora.
Koncepcja artysty i konflikt pokoleniowy w "Liście do Pizonów" Horacego. Glosa do antycznej krytyki literackiej
Authors: Kopek Wojciech
Published: January 2018

This paper, taking as a starting point Horace’s “Epistle to the Pissos”, its form and structure, approaches the Horatian problem of an artist involved in the Roman social issues, dominated by such categories as pietas and dignitas, both in relationship to the poet himself and to the social position and role of the profession of an artist (dichotomy: otium – negotium). Moreover, the role of a literary critic is discussed. A literary critic, by imposing certain rules and constraints on the artist, himself is not free of the social pressure being the result of the client/patron dependence. Writing in this context becomes an art of a compromise of values, between social and legal solutions founded in Rome’s traditional ‘community of citizens’ and the aesthetic limits and needs of the new generation of creators and their audiences.
Cancer-Targeted Oncolytic Adenoviruses for Modulation of the Immune System
Authors: Cerullo Vincenzo , Capasso Cristian , Vaha-Koskela Markus , Hemminki Otto , Hemminki Akseli
Published: January 2018

Adenovirus is one of the most commonly used vectors for gene therapy and it is the first
approved virus-derived drug for treatment of cancer. As an oncolytic agent, it can induce lysis of infected
cells, but it can also engage the immune system, promoting activation and maturation of antigen-
presenting cells (APCs). In essence, oncolysis combined with the associated immunostimulatory
actions result in a “personalized in situ vaccine” for each patient. In order to take full advantage of
these features, we should try to understand how adenovirus interacts with the immune system, what
are the receptors involved in triggering subsequent signals and which kind of responses they elicit.
Tackling these questions will give us further insight in how to manipulate adenovirus-mediated immune
responses for enhancement of anti-tumor efficacy.

In this review, we first highlight how oncolytic adenovirus interacts with the innate immune system
and its receptors such as Toll-like receptors, nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-
like receptors and other immune sensors. Then we describe the effect of these interactions on the
adaptive immune system and its cells, especially B and T lymphocytes. Finally, we summarize the
most significant preclinical and clinical results in the field of gene therapy where researchers have
engineered adenovirus to manipulate the host immune system by expressing cytokines and signalingmediators.

Published: January 2018

Toen Schepen Vermeulen in 1942 de naam van "Chartreuzenplein" (naar de vermaarde Kartuizers) veranderde in "Fratersplein", was dit geschiedkundig volledig juist. Oorspronkelijk was er bij de Gentse bevolking, vooral dan in de onmiddellijke buurt, wel wat protest bij de naamwisseling. Het had toch geen zin, zo meende men, het plein voor het huidige instituut St-Jan de Deo, "Fratersplein te noemen. Men aanzag het meer als een tegemoetkomingaan de Broeders die er woonden. Bovendien had men van die broedersdan nog "Fraters" gemaakt!
