Fachadas y pantallas. Lo real transformado en ficción
Authors: Gorostiza Jorge
Published: May 2019

En La estrategia del caracol los inquilinos de un edificio lo vacían por dentro, vuelan su fachada y la dibujan en su interior, estas acciones anticipan la tendencia de mantener las fachadas y reconvertirlas. Históricamente, se desarrollan espectáculos delante de las fachadas, después se convierte en pantalla, en la que estos espectáculos se proyectan, como si fueran películas cinematográficas, o desde las que se ven, como si fueran televisores, pero además entre ellas se elevan nuevas figuras virtuales, convirtiendo a la ciudad en una ficción y logrando que esa ficción invada completamente lo real.
Transformaciones urbanas en el Documental Estanbul ECHOES (2016)
Authors: Contreras Iván
Published: May 2019

El cine documental se hace eco de la ciudad, mostrando su evolución. Es lo que lo diferencia del cine de ficción, en el que el artista puede recrear un ambiente. Se acercará al documental Istanbul Echoes (2016) de Giulia Frati, que muestra las transformaciones urbanas de un barrio después de haber sido objeto de un proceso de modernización, en virtud del cual los planificadores urbanos desalojaron a los vendedores informales . Se reflexiona sobre la reconversión del espacio y la perdida de identidad.

Alternativas de poder político en los movimientos sociales-rurales de Colombia: caso organización indígena del norte del Cauca
Authors: Masagualli Nery Beca , Bolaño Oscar David Lagares
Published: May 2019

La autonomía indígena ha jugado un rol fundamental en la pervivencia de la cultura tradicional y en la adquisición de bienes simbólicos. La aplicabilidad de dicha categoría ha llevado al pueblo Nasa a generar espacios de participación social propios de dicha comunidad, cuya finalidad ha estado enfocada en atacar la presencia cultural de la occidentalización. La investigación tuvo como referente metodológico el estudio de caso; la recolección de datos por medio de la asistencia a las asambleas comunitarias y en la participación de los ejercicios de recuperación de tierras en el caso del Resguardo indígena Nasa de Corinto. La aplicabilidad del método científico dio como resultado el análisis del concepto de autonomía y su forma de ejercer control social en los territorios ancestrales, ejemplo de la ejecución de alternativas de poder socio-político.
PROTAGONISMO Y MILITANCIA: EL ESTILO DE GESTIÓN DEL MOVIMIENTO BARRIOS DE PIE EN EL MINISTERIO NACIONAL DE DESARROLLO SOCIAL, ARGENTINA 2004 – 2009
Authors: Gradin Agustina
Published: May 2019

En Argentina, durante los gobiernos de Néstor y Cristina Kirchner (2003–2015), los movimientos sociales fueron actores claves del proceso de reconstrucción del Estado nacional, luego de la crisis política, social y económica de 2001–2002. Por esto, se propone analizar la experiencia del Movimiento de desocupados Barrios de Pie en el Ministerio de Desarrollo Social de la Argentina durante el periodo 2004–2009, en donde ocupó diferentes espacios de gestión estatal. La incorporación del militante como actor estratégico de la gestión promovió un estilo basado en aspectos subjetivos como la voluntad política, el compromiso y el protagonismo, e implicó una revalorización de la militancia política, social y comunitaria como elemento estratégico de la política pública.
Emile Durkheim; democracia y sociedad
Authors: López Adalberto
Published: May 2019

La democracia y el Estado ocuparon un lugar particular en el pensamiento sociológico de Emile Durkheim, que se vuelve evidente cuando se analizan los orígenes de la institucionalización de la sociología como disciplina científica, cuando se observa cercanamente los factores temporal y espacial en el que ocurrieron los eventos socio-históricos más relevantes que sustentan su propio sistema de pensamiento, cuando se tiene en cuenta la crisis moral que sacudió a la III República a finales del siglo XIX y, en adición, las críticas que arguyó frente al pensamiento político de la filosofía francesa tradicional. La presentación amplia de todos estos factores que se hace a lo largo de todo el trabajo reconstruye el particular lugar que el Estado y sus conceptos aliados jugaron en el pensamiento del sociólogo francés.
Fotografías de lo invisible: Representando el espacio existencial del pasado
Authors: Villalobos Aurora
Published: May 2019

Este artículo reflexiona sobre el sentido de la fotografía arqueológica, no sólo como una herramienta de documentación de los bienes del pasado, sino como una manera de representar su imaginario cultural a partir del reconocimiento de su espacio, tiempo y presencia desde la contemporaneidad. Se basa en la obra gráfica del artista Javier Pérez González sobre el Sitio de los Dólmenes de Antequera, declarado Patrimonio Mundial en el año 2016. El autor fue quien documentó la orientación del dolmen de Viera hacia el este, registrando por primera vez la entrada del sol en la cámara de Viera en el amanecer de los equinoccios de primavera y otoño. También confirmó la orientación singular del dolmen de Menga hacia La Peña de los Enamorados, una vez trasladado del umbral el olivo que la ocultó durante los últimos siglos. Asimismo, colaboró en la identificación de la zona de El Torcal hacia la que mira el tholos de El Romeral.
Empresarialismo y grandes proyectos urbanos: Análisis comparativo de puerto madero en buenos aires y la loma en Barranquilla
Authors: Martínez Angely
Published: May 2019

En el marco de la gestión empresarial para el desarrollo urbano, el rol del Estado se ha visto supeditado a las lógicas propias del mercado global, las transformaciones urbanas, la potencialización de ciudades como polo de desarrollo e intervención económica y como espacios atractivos para el turismo mundial. Estos procesos se encuentran íntimamente ligados a los flujos del capital y a sus preferencias de localización. Los efectos de este proceso de localización de capitales no se han hecho esperar, estamos frente a ciudades donde no existe sentido de lugar, donde se homogeniza el paisaje urbano y aumenta de forma creciente la fragmentación. Un aspecto característico de este proceso ha sido la generación de grandes proyectos de renovación urbana, especialmente en áreas centrales que con el crecimiento urbano sufrieron un fuerte proceso de marginalización, pero que, conservaron sus ventajas espaciales en términos de accesibilidad, infraestructura y localización, lo cual las convierte en potenciales áreas de oportunidad.

Published: May 2019

Abstract: The objectives were to assess the joint effect of working hours paid per week and multiple job holding on sickness absence, by sex, among basic education teachers in Brazil. This study is based on a survey carried out over a representative sample of 5,116 active basic education teachers in Brazil between 2015 and 2016 (Educatel Study). We created a dummy variable to assess the joint effect of weekly paid working hours [standard (35-40 hours); part-time (< 35 hours); moderately long (41-50 hours); and very long (> 50 hours)] and multiple job holding (working in several schools - no/yes). Working 35-40 hours in one school was the reference category. We conducted Poisson regression models with robust variance to obtain prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) of the association with self-certified sickness absence and medically certified sickness absence. Models were adjusted for age, type of contract and salary, and stratified by sex. Significant associations with sickness absence were only found among teachers working in more than one school. Associations with self-certified sickness absence were found among women with standard and men with moderately long working hours, and for both women and men working > 50 hours (PR: 1.21, 95%CI: 1.09-1.35; PR: 1.40, 95%CI: 1.18-1.66; respectively). Associations with medically certified sickness absence were found among teachers working > 50 hours, among women (PR: 1.30, 95%CI: 1.03-1.63) and men (PR: 1.41, 95%CI: 1.04-1.92). Teachers working longer hours in several schools could be suffering health problems, deriving in work absence.
Accurate identification of atypical Staphylococcus chromogenes plasma-clotting strains causing bovine mastitis
Authors: Avellar-Costa Pedro , Santos Danielle Cabral dos , Lange Carla Christine , Laport Marinella Silva , Brito Maria Aparecida Vasconcelos Paiva , Rossi Ciro César , Giambiagi-deMarval Marcia
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT: We compared the potential of routine techniques used for the identification of Staphylococcus species, aiming to evaluate their accuracy in the detection of 43 Staphylococcus chromogenes strains isolated from bovine mastitis that, despite being a coagulase-negative species, are able to clot plasma. These strains could be mistakenly suspected to be S. aureus and lead to an unappropriated treatment of the disease. MALDI-TOF, PCR-RFLP of the chaperonine gene groEL, and sequencing of the 16S rRNA and elongation factor Tu gene tuf were employed. Results from the four methods were coincident for only half of the strains because of the low accuracy of the groEL PCR-RFLP (51.2% accuracy). Even though all the sequencing results were identical, the high accuracy of the MALDI-TOF results (97.7% accuracy, with only one strain misidentified) encourage the use of this technique, since it does not require laborious sample preparation, being fast and simple to perform.
Comparação do índice tornozelo-braquial com parâmetros de rigidez e resistência arterial periférica avaliados por fotopletismografia em idosos
Authors: Kock Kelser de Souza , Silva João Batista Ferreira da , Marques Jefferson Luiz Brum
Published: May 2019

Resumo Contexto O índice tornozelo-braquial (ITB) utiliza a razão entre a pressão arterial sistólica do tornozelo e do braço para diagnosticar de forma não invasiva a doença arterial periférica (DAP). A fotopletismografia (photoplethysmography, PPG) faz a medição e o registro das modificações de volume sanguíneo do corpo humano por meio de técnicas ópticas. Objetivos O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o ITB com parâmetros de rigidez arterial e resistência periférica avaliados pela PPG em idosos e propor um modelo de predição para o ITB. Métodos Foi realizado um estudo transversal quantitativo. A amostra foi composta por idosos atendidos no ambulatório médico de especialidades da Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (UNISUL). Foram verificados: idade, sexo, índice de massa corporal (IMC), presença de comorbidades, tabagismo e atividade física. Para comparação das variáveis obtidas com a PPG com o ITB, foi realizada regressão linear bivariada e multivariada, considerando erro α = 0,05. Resultados Foram avaliados 93 idosos, sendo 63,4% mulheres. Em 98,9% dos casos, o ITB apresentou-se dentro da normalidade. Na comparação do ITB e variáveis derivadas da PPG em relação à idade, foram demonstradas associações significativas. Contudo, não foram observadas associações significativas entre ITB e PPG. O modelo multivariado indicou que apenas idade, sexo e tabagismo foram associados ao ITB. Conclusões Como conclusão, o ITB e a PPG demonstraram associação com o envelhecimento arterial, tendo em vista sua correlação com a idade; contudo, o ITB foi relacionado apenas com idade, sexo e tabagismo. Mais estudos são necessários para avaliar o potencial uso da PPG como rastreio de doenças vasculares em rotinas ambulatórias.
The phyllostomid bat (Mammalia, Chiroptera) assemblage in a fragmented landscape in Midwestern Brazil
Authors: Odon Anderson , Bordignon Marcelo O. , Dornelles Guilherme D. P.
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT Bats are the second largest order of mammals, with varying feeding habits and great ecological significance. Anthropization has several important effects on animal communities and the Brazilian Cerrado, a Neotropical savannah, has been severely affected by human activity. The objective of this study was to evaluate phyllostomid bat assemblage distributions in the different landscape formations of a modified savannah. Using mist nets, we performed 36 sampling nights between 2015 and 2016. The sampling effort was 23,328 m².h and was equally distributed over three landscape formations: a large fragment, riparian forest, and small fragments. We compared capture rates, richness, diversity, similarity, and feeding guilds for the three formations. We captured 418 bats of 12 species belonging to the family Phyllostomidae. The most abundant species was Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823) (n = 126). We found no significant differences in capture rate or diversity between the areas, but there were differences in feeding guild representation. Frugivores species were the most abundant in the three areas. No gleaning insectivore or carnivore species were captured in the small fragments, and the large fragment contained no hematophages. The large fragment and the small fragments had the greatest similarity whereas the riparian forest and small fragments had the least similarity.
Influence of environmental variables on seasonal abundance and relative growth of Macrobrachium amazonicum (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea): variations of a continental population
Authors: Bueno Alessandra A. P. , Bonatto Carolina R. , Almeida Ariádine C.
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of abiotic factors (conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, precipitation, and water temperature) on the abundance of Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862), as well as to compare the relative growth among demographic groups throughout the seasons in a lagoon system located in the municipality of Perdões, Minas Gerais. Monthly, from August/2013 to July/2014, the prawns were collected on macrophytes of the genus Eichhornia using a semi-circular sieve. In the laboratory, the specimens were categorized into juveniles, males, ovigerous females and non-ovigerous females, and measured as total length (TL), carapace length (CL), and abdomen length (AL). The predominance of juveniles was evident, representing 74.4%, followed by 16.7% males, 2.8% ovigerous females and 6.1% non-ovigerous females. The total abundance and the abundance of juveniles, males, and females were negatively correlated with conductivity. The relative growth of TL and AL, in relation to CL, was different for juveniles, males and females thought the year, except during summer (for TL and AL) and autumn (for AL), when the same pattern was observed for the three demographic categories (p>0.05), possibly due to the highest abundance of juvenile individuals obtained in these seasons. The highest abundance of juveniles can be related to its occurrence in microhabitats that provide refuge, as Eichhornia. Despite some similar characteristics here observed in relation to the other populations throughout its distribution, as the high number of juveniles and the smaller size of males compared to females, the present study provides information that expands the knowledge on the plasticity of M. amazonicum, considering the sampled local - a lateral lagoon system. The obtained results promote the comprehension of the vast occurrence of the species and its adaptations to each specific environment, contributing to the elaboration of conservation and management guidelines for M. amazonicum and for the environment where it inhabits.

Authors: Wakiuchi Julia , Marcon Sonia Silva , Oliveira Denize Cristina de , Sales Catarina Aparecida
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the contents and dimensions of social representations about chemotherapy by cancer patients in chemotherapy treatment. Method: qualitative study, based on the Theory of Social Representations. One hundred patients were interviewed with cancer undergoing chemotherapy treatment attended at a High Complexity Oncology Unit located in the north of the state of Paraná between August and December of 2016. To collect data, a socio-occupational and clinical characterization questionnaire was used, a form of free evocations and in-depth interviews. The analysis was performed with the softwares Microsoft Excel and Evocations. Results: the social representation of chemotherapy has in its central core the words healing, good and difficult, which are structured in order to justify the completion of chemotherapy - good treatment that leads to healing, although difficult. In addition, an attempt is made to define chemotherapy from its effectiveness, seeking, in healing, its conceptualization. The periphery presents elements related to the attitude, efficacy and side effects of chemotherapy, which reveal the concrete experience of daily life during treatment. Conclusion: the health team, especially the nursing team, should collaborate with the representational construction of patients with cancer in chemotherapy, offering information and rescuing knowledge gaps that allow their participation in the therapeutic process.
Effects of an Intervention on Social Competence of Children Surviving Brain Tumors
Authors: Paixão Catiele , Alvarenga Patrícia
Published: May 2019

Abstract Pediatric brain tumors often generate problems in social-emotional development. This study evaluated the effects of an intervention on the social competence of children surviving brain tumors through a multiple-case design. Two mother-child dyads received three home visits for the pre-intervention assessment and another three home visits two months after the intervention for the post-intervention assessment. The collection of evidence pre- and post-intervention involved the child’s clinical data and semi-structured interviews with the mother and the child regarding social adjustment and social interaction components. The intervention lasted from seven to nine sessions, which mother and child attended separately. The data were subjected to logic model analysis. The results show an improvement in social competence in both cases, especially in the pattern of social interaction with peers. We discuss the implications of the sequels from the illness in terms of deficits in and promotion of social competence.
¿Gobernanza financiera?: comparación de las matrices políticas de las que emergieron las CACs 2003 y 2014
Authors: Manzo Alejandro
Published: May 2019

Resumen El discurso de la gobernanza fomenta la producción de modalidades regulativas de alcance global a partir de lógicas diferentes a la del mercado y a la del Estado. Los promotores de los modelos de Cláusulas de Acción Colectiva (CACs) de 2014 señalaron que la matriz política que los diseñó se construyó en buena medida sobre la base de la experiencia de la reforma contractual precedente (2001-2003); ahora bien, también advirtieron de su carácter innovador. Este artículo compara las matrices políticas de las que emergieron las CACs 2003 y 2014 mostrando quiénes participaron en ellas y cómo se articularon. El análisis muestra empíricamente que en ambos procesos se involucraron prácticamente los mismos agentes, aunque a partir de una dinámica de cooperación diferente: los rasgos típicos-ideales de la gobernanza se visualizan más en la segunda que en la primera experiencia. Sin embargo y a contramano de lo que postulan sus promotores, se argumenta que se trata en los dos casos de formas de gobernanza imperfecta que excluyen estratégicamente de los procesos de producción de estas normativas globales a aquellos agentes con potencialidad para disputar el poder a las elites que dominan el mercado de deuda soberana desde la década de los años 1970/1980.
BARIATRIC SURGERY AND BINGE EATING DISORDER: SHOULD SURGEONS CARE ABOUT IT? A LITERATURE REVIEW OF PREVALENCE AND ASSESSMENT TOOLS
Authors: TESS Beatriz H , MAXIMIANO-FERREIRA Letícia , PAJECKI Denis , WANG Yuan-Pang
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Eating pathologies among bariatric surgery candidates are common and associated with adverse surgical outcomes, including weight regain and low quality of life. However, their assessment is made difficult by the great variety and inconsistent use of standardized measures. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this review was to synthesize current knowledge on the prevalence of binge eating disorder (BED) in presurgical patients and to make a critical appraisal of assessment tools for BED. METHODS: A search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from January 1994 to March 2017. Data were extracted, tabulated and summarized using a narrative approach. RESULTS: A total of 21 observational studies were reviewed for data extraction and analysis. Prevalence of BED in bariatric populations ranged from 2% to 53%. Considerable variation in patient characteristics and in BED assessment measures was evident among the studies. In addition, several methodological weaknesses were recognized in most of the studies. Ten different psychometric instruments were used to assess BED. Clinical interviews were used in only 12 studies, though this is the preferred tool to diagnose BED. CONCLUSION: Study heterogeneity accounted for the variability of the results from different centers and methodological flaws such as insufficient sample size and selection bias impaired the evidence on the magnitude of BED in surgical settings. For the sake of comparability and generalizability of the findings in future studies, researchers must recruit representative samples of treatment-seeking candidates for bariatric surgery and systematically apply standard instruments for the assessment of BED.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional condition, which main symptoms of pain, discomfort and abdominal distension, constipation, diarrhea, altered fecal consistency and sensation of incomplete evacuation can be influenced by the presence of dietary fiber and fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs). This study aimed to assess the relationship between the quantity of fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAP) and fiber consumed by individuals diagnosed with IBS, and their classification according to the Rome III criteria. METHODS: A transversal study was carried out in the Intestinal Outpatient Clinic of the Gastroenterology Discipline of UNIFESP. The nutrients of interest for the study were: fiber, general carbohydrates and FODMAPs, with intake quantity measured in grams, analyzed through portions consumed. A nutrition log was used, along with a semi-quantitative questionnaire of consumption frequency. RESULTS: The sample included 63 adult patients; 21 with constipated IBS, 21 with diarrhea IBS, and 21 with mixed IBS. Carbohydrate intake was suboptimal in 55.6% of patients in all groups; excessive consumption was identified in 38.1% of the diarrhea group, 14.3% of the mixed group and 38.1% of the constipated group. Low consumption of carbohydrates was found in 28.6% of diarrhea patients and 47.6% of the mixed group. A mean intake of 23 g of fiber per day was identified, lower than recommended. CONCLUSION: The study identified a number of inadequacies in the consumption of different nutrients, excessive carbohydrate intake, especially FODMAPs, identified by the respondents as responsible for a worsening of their conditions. By contrast, other food groups such as meat, eggs and dairy were consumed by the sample population in insufficient quantities.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The influence of the placement of a band on the outcomes of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has not been appropriately studied yet. OBJECTIVE: To compare early weight loss and glucose metabolism parameters following banded versus non-banded OAGB. METHODS: A prospective randomized study, which evaluated 20 morbidly obese individuals who underwent banded and non-banded OAGB and were followed-up for three months. Weight loss (percentage of excess weight loss - %EWL and percentage of body mass index loss - %BMIL) and glucose metabolism outcomes (glucose, insulin and homeostasis model assessment - HOMA) were compared. RESULTS: The banded group presented a significantly higher %EWL at one month (29.6±5.5% vs 17.2±3.4%; P<0.0001) and two months post-surgery (46±7% vs 34.2±9%; P=0.004544), as well as a significantly higher %BMIL at one month (9.7±1.1% vs 5.8±0.8%; P<0.0001), two months (15±1.4% vs 11.5±2.1; P=0.000248), and three months (18.8±1.8% vs 15.7±3.2%; P=0.016637). At three months, banded OAGB led to significant decreases of insulin (14.4±4.3 vs 7.6±1.9; P=0.00044) and HOMA (3.1±1.1 vs 1.5±0.4; P=0.00044), whereas non-banded OAGB also led to significant decreases of insulin (14.8±7.6 vs 7.8±3.1; P=0.006) and HOMA (3.2±1.9 vs 1.6±0.8; P=0.0041). The percent variation of HOMA did not significantly differ between banded and non-banded OAGB (P=0.62414); overall, the percent variation of HOMA was not correlated with %EWL (P=0.96988) or %BMIL (P=0.82299). CONCLUSION: Banded OAGB led to a higher early weight loss than the standard technique. Banded and non-banded OAGB led to improvements in insulin resistance regardless of weight loss.

Authors: MEIRA Aimée Teixeira dos Santos , TANAJURA Davi , VIANA Irineu dos Santos
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common esophageal disease in medical practice, and it is suspected according to patients’ symptoms. GERD can be classified in erosive esophagitis (EE) according to the presence of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endoscopic findings in patients with symptoms suggestive of GERD comparing epicemiological and risk factors. METHODS: Upper endoscopy reports were examined retrospectively from patients with symptoms of GERD such as heartburn, regurgitation, cough, throat clearing, globus and chest pain. EE was determined based on Los Angeles classification. Comparisons between risk factors in EE and non-EE groups were done with statistical analysis. RESULTS: A total of 984 endoscopic reports were examined and 676 selected for analysis (281 with EE and 395 with non-EE form). Most were female 381 (56.36%) with a mean age of 44.01±15.40 years. Hiatal hernia was present in 47(6.96%) and smoking in 41(6.07%). Univariate logistic regression showed that male (OR=2.24, CI 95%, 1.63-3.06) and hiatal hernia (OR=4.52, CI 95%, 2.30-8.89) were independent predictors of erosions in the EE group. The presence of hiatal hernia (OR=12.04, CI 95%, 3.57-40.62), smoking (OR=8.46, CI 95%, 3.28-31.32) and aged patients (OR=8.01, CI 95%, 2.42-26.49) were also indicated as a risk factor for severe EE (grades C and D of Los Angeles). CONCLUSION Male gender and hiatal hernia were associated with EE. Aged patients, smoking and hiatal hernia were related to severe EE. It is suggested that the risk factors for EE and non-EE types are different. Cohort studies are necessary to identify the exact mechanisms involved in each disease form.
Reliability analysis of freeze–thaw damage of fiber concrete based on Miner theory
Authors: Li Jiangchuan , Qiao Hongxia , Zhu Feifei
Published: May 2019

In the cold regions of north China, due to special climatic and environmental factors, the degradation of concrete durability caused by freeze–thaw cycles has been a widespread concern among researchers. Freeze–thaw damage is considered the main form of damage that causes concrete durability to deteriorate. Aiming at investigating the influence of freeze–thaw damage on the service life of concrete structures in building structures, a freeze–thaw test was carried out in this work to study the frost resistance of the formed concrete under different fiber blending modes. The durability degradation of fiber concrete under different freeze–thaw cycles was analyzed, and the concrete microstructure was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. This study found that the frost resistance of single-fiber concrete is not obvious, the frost resistance of integral fiber concrete is greatly improved and layered hybrid fiber concrete has excellent frost resistance performance. In addition, based on the fatigue cumulative damage Miner theory, the reliability calculation model of freeze–thaw damage is established, which can directly reflect the relationship between the reliability of the test sample and the freeze–thaw cycle. The reliability of concrete with different fiber-blending methods gradually decreases to varying degrees. This theory has good applicability in the reliability analysis of concrete freeze–thaw.
Briefing: Developing a more circular economy model for wine packaging and delivery
Authors: Cooper Jeff
Published: May 2019

The development of more circular and resource-efficient production and resource management processes often requires radical changes to manufacturing and processing procedures. Introducing innovatory solutions to long-held means of delivering products and materials to customers requires long-term dedication and commitment, however good the revolutionary ideas might appear to be. In this case study, therefore, while the proposals and concepts are radical, persuading the consumer and potentially more importantly the whole range of intermediary decision makers that the time is right to adjust their long-standing views of how a very traditional product should be presented, will require a dramatic change in mind-set.
PRESYSTOLIC WAVE VELOCITY MAY PREDICT AORTIC STIFFNESS BUT NOT CIRCADIAN BLOOD PRESSURE PATTERN IN PATIENTS WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION
Authors: SÖKMEN Erdoğan , ÖZDEMİR Levent , ÇELİK Mustafa
Published: May 2019

Background
and Aim: Non-dipping circadian pattern and increased aortic
stiffness have been linked to increased morbidity and mortality in patients with
htpertension (HT). Our aim in the present study was to assess whether
presystolic wave (PSW) velocity measured by Doppler transthoracic
echocardiography (TTE) on left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) had
relationship with circadian pattern and the aortic stiffness parameters
assessed by TTE.

Methods:
A
total of 140 newly-diagnosed essential HT patients admitting to the cardiology
outpatient polyclinic were consecutively included. Data regarding phisical
examination, laboratory analysis, TTE, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
(ABPM) were obtained retrospectively from medical records. Patients were
divided into dipper (n=75) and non-dipper (n=65) groups on the basis of ABPM.
Relationship of PSW velocity with circadian pattern and aortic stiffness was
evaluated.

Results:
Peak
PSW velocity was similar between
dipper and non-dipper HT subgroups. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed a
positive correlation of PSW velocity with aortic stiffness index (r=0.286; p=0.007),
transmitral A velocity (r=0.260; p=0.017), E/A ratio (r=-0.265; p=0.015),
and lateral E’ velocity (r=-0.279; p=0.013).
In multivariate logistic regression model, aortic stiffness index (0.525, p<0.001), age (=0.239, p=0.009), lateral E/E’ ratio (0.636, p<0.001) and E/A ratio (-0.503, p<0.001) emerged as significant
predictors of PSW velocity.

Conclusion:
Peak
velocity of PSW on LVOT, if present, may provide information about the status
of aortic stiffness and LV compliance assessed by TTE. However, PWS velocity is
not useful in the prediction of circadian blood pressure pattern in
newly-diagnosed essential HT patients.

mikropartikül immünoassay (Abbot®, Architect System; Germany), doğrulma ise HCV
RNA polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu testi (Roche® COBAS® AmpliPrep / COBAS® Taqman®
HCV Kantitatif Testi v2.0) ile yapıldı.BULGULAR: Toplamda çalışılan 20.038 anti HCV testinde 337 pozitif
sonuç saptandı. Aynı olguda birden fazla sayıda çalışılan testler
çıkarıldığında 220 anti-HCV sonucu kaldı. Bunlardan 74 tanesinin (%33,63)
anti-HCV pozitif olduğu halde doğrulama yapılmadığı, 32 tanesinin ise öncesinde
kronik hepatit C tanısı ile tedavi almış veya halen tedavi almakta olan hasta
olduğu saptandı. Sonuç olarak PCR ile doğrulamaya gidilmiş 114 naif anti-HCV
pozitif olgu tespit edildi. Bu olguların 78’i (%68.42) HCV RNA negatif
saptanarak yalancı pozitif olarak değerlendirildi. Olguların 36’sında (%31.58)
HCV RNA pozitif olarak saptanarak gerçek hasta olarak tanılandı. Yalancı
pozitiflerde ortalama signal-to-cutoff (S/CO) oranı 3.24 ± 2.84 (min: 1.09,
maks: 14.09), gerçek pozitif olgularda ise 14.05 ± 3.04 (min: 6.05, maks: 20.16)
olarak saptandı. 20.038 hastadaki anti HCV seropozitiflik oranı %0.94, gerçek
pozitiflik oranı ise %0.18 olarak sonuçlandı. Gerçek pozitif olgulardan en
düşüğü olan 6,05 anti-HCV değerine sahip olgu akut hepatit C idi, bunun
dışındakilerin hepsinde anti HCV değeri 8’in üzerindeydi.  Anti-HCV değeri 6’nın altında olan tüm olgularda
HCV RNA değeri negatif olarak sonuçlandı ve yalancı negatif olarak
değerlendirildi. SONUÇ: Yalancı pozitifliğe ek olarak en önemli sorunlardan biri HCV
ile ilgili tanısal bir algoritmanın klinisyenler tarafından benimsenmemiş
olduğudur. Bu konularda yapılacak olan gerek tıbbi gerekse hastane bilişim
sistemlerindeki düzenlemeler ile önemli zaman ve maliyet kaybının önüne
geçilebilir.

Da prática do magistério na escola básica à escrita na universidade
Authors: Fátima Pauletto Margarete
Published: May 2019

The main goal of this article is to present, from the experiences gained as a primary school teacher and as a doctoral student, some reflections on the personal training process in pedagogical practice. We focus on the importance of becoming a teacher researcher in order to be able to cope with daily life in the midst of cultural diversity, while at the same time developing an authoritative voice in pedagogical discourse. The discourse on quality education permeates the discourse on cultural diversity. Education develops its training role as the institution authorized to promote and respect diversity. However, in our experience we realized that there is a gap between training a teacher to be a researcher, and therefore to deal with cultural diversity, and training a teacher to reproduce theoretical approaches that promise to solve the problems for teaching reading and writing. We argue that the teacher prepared to do research in their daily lives will be better able to deal with the cultural diversity present in the classroom. We take as object of analysis the personal training process of an educator, some instances of her practical experience, her work during her master level studies, and the ideas she has developed in the course of her doctoral studies. Through this analysis we will show a process that produces changes in the subjectivity of the teacher and that directly influences her educational practice.

There are not many studies in Colombia that focus on the relationship between parents and educational institutions or on the contributions of the former to their children’s learning processes. This article aims to identify and understand the possible kinds of relations between family and school, and their impact on learning a second language, in this case English. For this purpose, we conducted a collaborative research project, which can be characterised as qualitative and exploratory, in which we surveyed about 250 stakeholders and interviewed about 80 educational actors which included teachers, parents and students from four elementary schools, public and private, with different profiles and belonging to different socio-economic strata, from the city of Bogota, Colombia. This article presents the findings, which also led to the design and implementation of strategies, by some of the participating schools, that aimed to create in practice a model of the school-family relationship that can boost the students’ learning of the English language. We found that there is a great motivation in the vast majority of participants in promoting such learning, but there are also some tensions between teachers and parents concerning the teaching and learning of English.

The goal of the present study was to characterize the assertive and non-assertive communications of a prekindergarten teacher and assess the relationship of such communications with the emotional climate of the classroom, specifically in terms of the quality of the relationships among the students. We analyzed 23 classroom observations carried out during the first period of a school year in a group of prekindergarten in a bilingual, medium-high socioeconomic level school. We collected data by means of non-participant observation and coded the information based on a a matrix we created to evaluate the teacher’s assertive behaviors and we used CLASS criteria to evaluate the emotional climate of the classroom. The results of the descriptive analysis of the data showed a positive relationship between assertive behaviors of the teacher and classroom emotional climate, and a negative relationship between non-assertive behaviors (ie, impositive and passive) and the emotional climate of the classroom. These findings are discussed in light of the implications of teacher communication style for building learning environments that promote the development of emotional and social skills of children at an early age.

This study is aimed at understanding the current perceptions and assessment practices of seven physical education teachers at Colegio Miguel Cervantes Saavedra IED, located in the town of Usme in Bogotá, D.C. A case study methodology was used to examine through interviews, observations and document analysis how these teachers perceive and use assessment in their classes. The findings in the study provide information about the ideas, images and perceptions that these teachers have towards assessment. These teachers define assessment as an activity through which they can discover what their students are learning so they can make adjustments to the program, their methodology and the way they assess. The study found that the seven teachers tended to view assessment as being continuous, comprehensive, participatory, flexible and formative.
