Authors: Mayer A. , Heyer K. , Storck M. , Debus E. S. , Augustin M.
Published: March 2016

Background When concerning documentation and follow up measurement for chronic wounds, uniform standards are a vital precondition for further development of care in Germany. The Federal Consensus Conference “Outcome Measurement and Benefit Assessment for Chronic Wounds” has taken action and has approved systematic recommendations including small data records since 2013.

Aim In the following review rationales, objectives, methods and action outcomes of the Federal Consensus Conference are summarized.

Results Experts from more than 25 different scientific expert associations, professional associations, organizations specialized in care, representatives of statutory health insurance companies as well as the Federal Ministry of Health participated in the consensus formation. From 2013–2015 a total of eight consensus meetings as well as six online consensus enquiries were agreed upon. These entailed a) the relevant subject areas for consensus formation, b) the necessary standards for wound documentation, c) recommendations concerning the enquiries on quality of life for people with chronic wounds, d) recommendations for minimal clinically relevant differences, e) standards on utilization of secondary data and f) recommendations for health-economic analytics of ulcus cruris. The first four publications concerning this topic were finalized.

Conclusions The combination of personal attendance meetings and online enquiries with a broad panel of experts has proved to be an efficient tool for consensus formation regarding the documentation criteria and outcome criteria for chronic wounds using the example of ulcus cruris. The present results are subject of an active implementation in 2016/2017 and at the same time provide a chance for an improved process- and result quality concerning nationwide care.

TRANSFORMATION OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND PROBLEMS OF DISARMAMENT IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION
Authors: Слинько  , Slinko Aleksandr , Орешева  , Oresheva Diana
Published: March 2016

The authors analyze various theoretical concepts on which they substantiate the following: the more hegemonic and unilateral the world order became, the more inhibited interstate dialogue on disarmament was, more and more coming into the crisis. This is also the format of intergovernmental negotiations in general, in particular long-term non-participation of Russia in the "group of seven". Revision of the theoretical foundations is accompanied by a change in emphasis in the dialogue on disarmament, its reactivation and the continuation of more equal footing. According to Galtung, that is the way to express the so-called pluralistic unipolarity, marking the transition from unilateralism to leadership. The constructive position of Russia - search for constructive forms of partnership with the West and the rapprochement with China.

Authors: Гончарук  , Goncharuk Natalya
Published: March 2016

The article provides analytical information on anti-corruption in the system of the civil service of the Russian Federation. The article presents the rationale for further elaboration of decisions on combating corruption at the level of administrative law-making and enforcement of administrative law, because the existing legal provisions should find their content in all kinds of legal liability. It is in the field of administrative legal regulation the concrete mechanisms of combating corruption should be enhanced, gaps should be eliminated, creating opportunities for corruption, the formed schemes of corrupt interaction should be destroyed. A similar situation exists in the scientific coverage of the problems of combating corruption. The existing monographic publications and sources on the subject widely present the strategic and tactical aspects, however, questions on the use of administrative procedures and anti-corruption mechanisms need to be further developed.

Authors: Фалинский  , Falinskiy Ilya
Published: March 2016

In the article author´s approach to the research of a regional shadow stream is offered. Relevance and importance of work consists in the formulation of a technique of factors analysis of a regional shadow stream on the basis of data about the state of economic crime. The author´s hypothesis is presented– according to economic crime it is possible to establish the relationship between the separate economic crimes, which will let to identify common factors contributing to taking illegal economic benefits from shadow economic entities. The method of regional factors analysis of flow shadow is to solve three problems: structural analysis to highlight the most important categories of economic crime; assessment of the presence and nature of the relationship between the essential categories of economic crime; assessment of identified dependencies to determine the common factors of the shadow flow. According to the survey, two basic factors of the development of a regional shadow stream are highlighted as the most significant: the degree of openness of the transport sector; transparency of agents, commissioners. Application of the proposed method allows to detail the measures taken to strengthen the national security of Russia.
Severe mental illness and physical health care
Authors: McGuinness Hannah , Follan Michael
Published: March 2016

Patients with severe mental illness (SMI) have an increased risk of morbidity and mortality, with a reduction in life expectancy of up to 25 years. Despite clinical guidelines for routine physical health checks, there remains a gap in the efficient provision of physical health care for patients with SMI. Through conducting a literature search, this study aims to investigate the factors affecting the physical health care provided in both primary and secondary services for patients with SMI. There were several main areas identified: lack of monitoring of physical health, barriers to provision, ambiguity of job roles, lack of training and poor communication between services. Communication and information sharing is highlighted by both primary and secondary care providers as a barrier to providing efficient physical health care, and an improvement in this area may improve the physical health care of patients with SMI.

Authors: Carr Tracey , Quinlan Elizabeth , Robertson Susan , Duggleby Wendy , Thomas Roanne , Holtslander Lorraine
Published: March 2016

Objective:

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the palliative potential of home-based yoga sessions provided to women with advanced cancer.

Method:

Personalised 45-minute yoga sessions were offered to three women with advanced cancer by an experienced yoga teacher. Each woman took part in a one-to-one interview after the completion of the yoga programme and was asked to describe her experiences of the programme's impact.

Results:

The personalised nature of the yoga sessions resulted in similar positive physical and psychosocial effects comparable to those demonstrated in other studies with cancer patients. Participants described physical, mental, and emotional benefits as well as the alleviation of illness impacts. The enhancement of mind-body and body-spirit connections were also noted.

Conclusion:

Personalised home-based yoga programmes for people with advanced cancer may produce similar benefits, including palliation, as those institutionally-based programmes for people with non-advanced cancer.
Reconstruction of neglected developmental dysplasia by total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy
Authors: Atilla Bülent
Published: March 2016

Patients with neglected developmental dysplasia (DDH) face with early osteoarthritis of the hip, limb length inequality and marked disability while total hip reconstruction is the only available choice. DDH has severe morphologic consequences, with distorted bony anatomy and soft tissue contractures around the hip. It is critical to evaluate patients thoroughly before surgery. Anatomic reconstruction at the level of true acetabulum with uncemented implant is the mainstay of treatment. This requires a subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy, which can be realised using different osteotomy and fixation options. Although a demanding technique with a high rate of related complications, once anatomic reconstruction of the hip is achieved, patients have a remarkably good functional capacity and implant survival during long follow-up periods.

Authors: Providência Paulo
Published: March 2016

Um dos aspectos mais característicos da pedagogia do Projecto de Arquitectura dos docentes do Porto é a inclusão da História da Arquitectura como matéria de aprendizagem, considerando que a História fornece aos alunos instrumentos para interpretarem contextos específicos e exigentes de intervenção. Não é de estranhar que num número da revista Joelho, dedicado ao ensino de arquitectura, surja uma reflexão sobre as propostas de requalificação da Sala dos Capelos de dois dos mais significativos intervenientes pedagógicos daquela escola, que precisamente evidenciaram o uso da História, quer como matéria de ensino/aprendizagem, quer como suporte da actividade projectual. O que resultará da análise histórica da Sala e dos projectos de Arquitectura desses dois autores, é a interpretação que fazem do contexto de intervenção, e assim do seu entendimento do papel da História no processo de Projecto de Arquitectura. Trata-se, afinal, da compreensão dos contextos de intervenção como procedimento metodológico simultâneo ao exercício projectual.

Authors: Kavsıracı Ozan , Hatipoğlu Seda
Published: March 2016

Today, traffic is one of the important issues in public health. Due to physical and mental losses it caused, it is one of the problems that whole world struggle against. It is extremely important to give children traffic training starting from early ages to create a safe traffic environment and minimize the current accident risk on traffic. It is only possible with comprehensive, constant and systematic traffic security training in formal education, to make the children gain the habit and awareness of traffic. Traffic training that starts at an early age would make children gain correct behavioral pattern. In this study subjects such as; concept of traffic, traffic security training in our country, it's place in formal education, importance of juvenile traffic security training, aims and purposes, examined. Two different schools from the city of Ankara has been chosen for survey and the difference of knowledge and sense of traffic between students of these two school is introduced. In the School A curriculum of ministry of education is practiced and subject of traffic is narrowly mentioned in other classes until fourth grade. In the School B traffic security training is provided both theoretical and practical with the help of "juvenile traffic training park" inside school, starting from first grade. As a result of the study; it is demonstrated that the children who receive regular and practical traffic training, understand and internalize traffic rules.

The Choice of the Treatment Method for Cerebral Aneurysms of Different Locations in the Era of Advanced Endovascular Technologies: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Byval’tsev V. A. , Belykh E. G. , Stepanov I. A.
Published: March 2016

Relevance: Until recently, microsurgical clipping was the main method to eliminate cerebral aneurysms (CA) from the circulation. The rate of endovascular versus microsurgical treatment for CA of different locations in the era of rapidly emerging endovascular medicine is unknown. Aim: To study the frequency of microsurgical or endovascular techniques for the treatment of CA of different locations. Methods: Methods of treatment and localization of CA were studied in meta-analysis of clinical series published from 2003 to 2014. Case-control studies, studies with externally balanced number of patients in the groups, and the series in which a large number of patients were treated out the study were excluded. Results: 1 international, 2 American, 2 Japanese and 3 Russian clinical series (n=5254 CA) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled rate of microsurgical treatment used for the CA of the internal carotid artery was 65% (95% CI 55−75), the anterior cerebral artery ― 65% (95% CI 46−84), the middle cerebral artery ― 90% (95% CI 82−98), and vertebrobasilar basin ― 39% (95% CI 41−64). Conclusions: In clinical series both methods of CA treatment were available but endovascular closure was used for the majority of vertebrobasilar basin aneurysms, and for more than a third of anterior cerebral artery or internal carotid artery aneurysms. Middle cerebral artery aneurysms, as opposed to CA of other locations, were subjected to microsurgical treatment in the most cases (90%). In some cases CA are not suitable for endovascular closure, or require microvascular reconstructive operations. In competition with less invasive but more expensive option of endovascular treatment, and under the conditions of decreasing volume and experience of open CA surgery, microsurgical techniques should be mastered to a high level which requires centralization of the patients in the specialized centers and microneurosurgical training.
Disorders of Protein Conformation as a Typical Component of Various Human Disease Pathogenesis
Authors: Sakharov V. N. , Litvitskiy P. F.
Published: March 2016

The review is aimed to analyze the data of the recent studies and to describe all the disorders of protein conformation as a typical pathogenic process of protein structure and metabolism involved in various human disease pathogenesis. The existing group of the disorders of protein metabolism doesn’t clearly reflect the involvement of misfolding in the pathogenesis of many human diseases (as a significant factor) and the term disproteinosis is being broadly used only in the context of some «typical» protein misfolding diseases or conformational diseases (for example, amyloidosis and sickle cell anemia). However, protein conformational stability disorders are well-described as physico-chemical processes; there are diseases, in which the manifestations of protein disorders reach their maximum. The revealing of universal form of conformational stability pathology may eliminate the gaps in the understanding of many human diseases, including some diseases with high social significance.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N) is the main nutrient responsible for the green coloration of lawns but also stimulates the growth of the aerial portion of grass, thus increasing mowing expenses. Therefore, herbicides may be used as a growth regulator. The ideal herbicide will reduce lawn height without affecting esthetics. Toward this end, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the green coloration of Emerald grass ( Zoysia japonica Steud.) under the effect of different N doses or herbicides used as growth regulators. The study site consisted of randomized blocks containing 20 treatments arranged in a 5×4 factorial design with four treatment groups: four herbicides (glyphosate, imazaquin, imazethapyr, and metsulfuron-methyl, accounting for 200, 420, 80, and 140g ha-1 of the active ingredient, respectively) and the control sample (no herbicide); and three doses of N in the form of urea (5, 10, and 20g m-2), divided into five applications per year, in addition to a treatment without N. Leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) was assessed and the aerial portion of the lawn was measured with digital image analysis. Doses of N ranging from 10 to 20g m-2, divided into five applications a year, provided the lawn with intense green coloration, and the herbicides glyphosate (200g ha-1), imazaquin (420g ha-1), and imazethapyr (80g ha-1) were reported to be suitable for use as growth regulators of the study species, considering maintenance of esthetic quality (green coloration). The digital image analysis of the aerial portion provided more accurate results than use of a chlorophyll meter with regard to the recommendation of both N dose and herbicides to be used as growth regulators of Emerald grass.

This study aimed to analyze the association between the duration of the nap and the variables gender, age, education, family income, frailty levels and frailty criteria of community-dwelling elderly. This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study, an excerpt from the multicenter project Frailty in Elderly Brazilians. A total of 3,075 older adults were evaluated, aged 65 and over, using a sociodemographic questionnaire, question about nap (Minnesota Leisure Activity Questionnaire), phenotype of frailty proposed by Fried and screening test for cognitive impairment (Mini Mental State Examination). Descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p<0.05) and multiple linear regression were applied. Ethical principles were respected. Most of the elderly participants napped (61.7%), with an average of 53.4±42.7 min/day. There was an association between duration of naps and variables gender (p=0.002), frailty (p=0.022) and frailty criterion "hand grip strength" (p=0.008). It was observed that the length of the naps is greater for male and frail elderly.

Resumo A descentralização das vigilâncias sanitária, epidemiológica e ambiental para os municípios tomou impulso com mudanças organizacionais e no financiamento federal, quando cresceu a ideia de integração entre elas, e delas com a atenção individual e coletiva. Nos organogramas de muitas secretarias de Saúde, reuniram-se as vigilâncias sob uma coordenação comum, e os gestores demandaram a formação de novos profissionais para esse arranjo. Este artigo objetiva delinear os perfis dos profissionais de nível médio das vigilâncias de seis municípios do estado de Alagoas e dos serviços em que eles operam, agregando percepções dos gestores sobre a prática desses trabalhadores, que representam 88% da força de trabalho das vigilâncias nesses municípios. Sem formação específica para realizar suas atividades, o desempenho dos trabalhadores foi avaliado como pior quanto menor o tempo de exercício do gestor no cargo. As dificuldades destacadas foram: ingerência política no trabalho da vigilância sanitária e ambiental; preenchimento deficiente das fichas de investigação epidemiológica pelas equipes de saúde da família nos seis municípios; papel indefinido desse profissional na vigilância em saúde do trabalhador. A necessária formação técnica é insuficiente para superação dessas dificuldades, requerendo-se a revisão de processos de gestão e coordenação do trabalho das equipes para práticas mais efetivas.

Resumo Os núcleos de apoio à saúde da família configuram-se hoje como um lócus de inserção do profissional de educação física na atenção primária à saúde. Esse fato trouxe novos desafios à atuação desse profissional, como a realização de ações de promoção da saúde nos âmbitos individual e coletivo. O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar as ações realizadas por tal profissional nesses núcleos no estado de Minas Gerais, em 2015. Tratou-se de pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, que utilizou a pesquisa documental e grupos focais com 15 participantes como instrumentos de coleta de dados. Os resultados demonstraram diferentes e complementares concepções acerca do conceito de promoção da saúde e a realização de ações de promoção abrangentes, diversificadas e em conjunto com a equipe e a comunidade. Fatores como a reorientação do modelo de saúde, a participação da comunidade, a valorização do trabalho multiprofissional e intersetorial e o incentivo governamental para as práticas de atividades físicas foram apontados como facilitadores para a realização dessas ações. Entre as dificuldades, destacaram-se a falta de infraestrutura e de capacitação e a concepção dos demais profissionais, ainda voltada para as ações clínicas individuais, em detrimento de ações coletivas de promoção da saúde.
SOBRE FISIOTERAPIA E SEUS RECURSOS TERAPÊUTICOS: O GRUPO COMO ESTRATÉGIA COMPLEMENTAR À REABILITAÇÃO
Authors: Recco Rosani Aparecida Chaves , Lopes Stella Maris Brum
Published: March 2016

Resumo O trabalho com grupos constitui uma estratégia privilegiada pelos profissionais de saúde que envolve um processo de subjetivação e estabelecimento de vínculos comunitários. Desenvolveu-se um grupo de mulheres em tratamento pós-operatório de ombro no ambulatório de fisioterapia de um hospital instalado na cidade de Curitiba, com o objetivo de potencializar os efeitos da fisioterapia convencional, oferecendo a essas mulheres condições para melhor lidar com suas dores e limitações funcionais. Realizou-se pesquisa qualitativa que possibilitou o estabelecimento de um processo descritivo em relação ao processo grupal e o contato direto e prolongado com os sujeitos da pesquisa por meio de seis oficinas realizadas no período de outubro de 2012 a março de 2013. O relato das mulheres apontou o grupo como um espaço acolhedor, onde partilharam experiências de vida, conquistaram amizades e aprenderam com o outro. Isso permitiu um repensar sobre seu comportamento e possibilidade de mudança de atitudes. Concluiu-se que, diante da necessidade de humanização do atendimento com vistas a uma atenção integral, a utilização de grupos como apoio no processo fisioterápico pode ser uma estratégia para uma prática menos reducionista e que reconheça a necessidade do outro.

Published: March 2016

Abstract: The objective of this work was to estimate allelic frequencies of the polymorphisms IGF2/MboII (G > T) of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene, DQ499531.1:g.134A > T of the pro-melanin-concentrating hormone (PMCH) gene, and DQ667048.1:g.3290G > T of the RARrelated orphan receptor C (RORC) gene in beef cattle of different genetic groups, and to evaluate the associations between these polymorphisms and traits related to carcass composition and meat quality. Data on carcass and meat quality of 499 animals was used: of 313 Nellore (Bos indicus) and of 186 Nellore crossed with different taurine (Bos taurus) breeds. For the IGF2/MboII polymorphism, the frequencies found for the G allele were 0.231 and 0.631 for Nellore and crossed breeds, respectively. For the DQ499531.1:g.134A > T polymorphism, the allelic frequencies of A were 0.850 for Nellore and 0.905 for crossed breeds. For the DQ667048.1:g.3290G > T polymorphism, the allelic frequencies of G were 0.797 and 0.460 for Nellore and crossed breeds, respectively. The evaluated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are not significantly associated with carcass and meat traits (rib eye area, back fat thickness, shear force, total lipids, and myofibrillar fragmentation index), suggesting little utility of the analyzed polymorphisms of the IGF2, PMHC, and RORC genes as selection markers in the studied cattle populations.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of application and the efficacy of control of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) with the use of the diquat herbicide done with two application volumes associated to three droplets classes. Three experiments were conducted; in the first, the application efficiency was evaluated; in the second, the control efficiency and; in the third, the droplet spectrum. They were conducted in a completely randomized design with five, four and six replicates, respectively. The treatments were arranged in a 2 x 3 factorial design, with two application volumes (100 and 200 L ha-1) and three droplets classes (fine, extremely coarse and ultra-coarse) to the first and second experiment and the third comprised two diquat concentrations in spray solution (2 and 4 g i.a. L-1) and three droplets classes (fine, extremely coarse and ultra-coarse). The application efficiency was determined by the coverage by droplets, spray deposition and active ingredient of the herbicide (diquat). The efficacy was measured by the control and the percentage of plants with regrowth at 50 days after application. The spectrum of droplets produced per each nozzle model used to obtain the droplets classes were analyzed. According to the parameters analyzed, using the droplets classes extremely thick and ultra thick can provide greater certainty in the application of diquat in the aquatic environment associated with the deposition of the active and sufficient coverage to control Eichhornia crassipes with both application volumes

Usualmente a sinterização de Aços Inoxidáveis AID (ligas Fe-Cr-Ni) ocorre a partir de pós pré-ligados de AID ou pelo balanceamento entre pós de aços inoxidáveis austeníticos misturado com pós de aços inoxidáveis ferríticos, proporcionando uma microestrutura duplex. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a possibilidade de desenvolver uma rota alternativa de produção do AID com menor custo, além de avaliar as características microestruturais e mecânicas da liga Fe-22,5Cr-5,5Ni. Neste contexto, buscou-se desenvolver uma liga a partir de misturas de pós elementares de formulação similar ao AID UNS S32205 e com diferentes isotermas buscando a difusão entre os elementos, com o intuito de eliminar a necessidade de obtenção de pós pré-ligados de elevado custo. Os pós de partida foram caracterizados por Difração de Raios X (DRX) e Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV), e empregados na produção de 10 (dez) formulações que foram uniaxialmente conformadas em pastilhas de 18,88 mm de diâmetro e tratadas termicamente com tempos variando entre 1 (uma) e 6 (seis) horas; com isotermas de 1000ºC; 1100°C e 1200ºC e sob atmosfera controlada de nitrogênio. Com o uso de Microscopia Óptica (MO), foram selecionadas 4 (quatro) misturas para avaliação complementar. Esse estudo englobou a análise de difusão dos elementos Fe, Cr e Ni por Espectroscopia de Energia Dispersiva (EDS) acoplada ao MEV, e avaliação microestrutural por (MO, MEV, DRX). Os resultados obtidos com as análises por MO e MEV revelaram uma baixa difusão do cromo na matriz de ferro. Espectros obtidos por DRX apresentaram a formação de picos de ferrita e em algumas das amostras pequenos picos de austenita, não sendo possível apontar a formação de uma estrutura duplex. A análise de espectroscopia Raman indicou a formação de óxido de cromo no entorno das partículas de cromo, evitando sua difusão na matriz ferrítica. Por fim, os ensaios de microdureza revelaram uma relação diretamente proporcional ao aumento da temperatura e tempo de sinterização com as microdurezas apresentadas pelas misturas obtidas com pós elementares.

Resumo A partir dos anos 1990, a América Latina foi palco de inúmeras reformas educacionais, fruto de recomendações de organismos internacionais, ditadas pelo modelo econômico neoliberal. Essas reformas materializaram-se, basicamente, na constituição de sistemas de avaliação, na ênfase na formação continuada de professores e na disseminação de tecnologias de comunicação e informação. O presente artigo tem como recorte a formação continuada de professores, visando a identificar, caracterizar e comparar políticas em curso no Brasil e no México, bem como a analisar estratégias de sua implantação, com especial atenção para as formas de apropriação das referidas recomendações em cada um dos países. Nesse exercício comparativo, partimos da concepção de que, embora sob uma mesma lógica, os projetos formativos expressam distintas conjunturas políticas e culturais, bem como tensões, disputas e interesses em jogo para sua implementação. Nesse sentido, é verdade que elas atendem antigas reivindicações ao colocarem o professor como centro de suas preocupações. No entanto, em linhas gerais, isso não implica que o professor seja considerado como sujeito político da ação da formação e do fazer docente; ao contrário, parte-se do princípio de que ao docente faltam elementos para educar, que devem ser supridos em cursos de formação continuada. Esses, ao centrarem-se na certificação (Brasil), ou na obtenção de pontuação para progressão na carreira (México), podem resultar em mais um elemento de sobrecarga de trabalho. Ainda assim, muitas vezes os professores inventam formas de apropriação desses cursos não previstas pelas políticas, construindo novas significações para o trabalho docente.

Resumo Uma parcela considerável dos resíduos de construção e demolição (RCD) gerados em um canteiro de obras é proveniente da etapa de acabamentos. Destes, uma grande quantidade são potencialmente recicláveis, com a possibilidade de aproveitamento no próprio local onde é gerado. Contudo, ações de reaproveitamento em obras não são rotineiras devido a fatores como dificuldades de identificação, segregação e classificação destes resíduos. Conhecer a composição gravimétrica qualitativa e quantitativa do RCD gerado por etapa da obra torna-se essencial para justificar tecnicamente e economicamente esse reaproveitamento. Assim, de forma a contribuir para o tema, a pesquisa proposta por este artigo objetivou a avaliar a composição gravimétrica dos RCD gerados na etapa de acabamentos de obras residenciais horizontais de padrão construtivo do programa habitacional Minha Casa Minha Vida. Desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa quantitativa com estudo de caso e coleta de dados primários em campo. Os resultados confirmaram que 92% dos RCD gerados na fase de acabamentos são passíveis de reciclagem. Nestes estão contidos: 39,13% de madeira; 23,19% de plásticos, papel e metal; 16,09% de gesso; 12,99% de demolição (concreto, argamassa, cerâmica, etc); 8,38% de embalagens contaminadas e 0,22% de fios. Como indicador de produção de RCD, a geração média para a fase de acabamentos representou 0,58m3/casa ou 0,012 m3/m2 de área útil construída. Para acabamentos finos, o índice obtido foi de 0,46m3/casa ou 0,0098 m3/m2 e para acabamentos brutos foi de 1,11 m3/casa ou 0,0237 m3/m2.

Resumo A preocupação com a qualidade de operação dos sistemas prediais de esgoto sanitário tem motivado empresas especializadas em biotecnologia a investir em produtos compostos por misturas de microrganismos vivos que atuam no pré-tratamento de efluentes de sistemas prediais para combater odores desagradáveis em ambientes sanitários. O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o uso de misturas concentradas de microrganismos em caixas sifonadas para eliminar o mau cheiro em ambientes sanitários e o impacto em estações de tratamento de esgotos sanitários. O método consiste em diagnosticar o mau cheiro de um dos sanitários de um edifício escolar de nível superior, que é alvo de constantes reclamações por parte dos usuários. Em seguida, introduzir tabletes de microrganismos nas caixas sifonadas e, por fim, avaliar o impacto do uso desse produto em dois sanitários e em estações de tratamento de esgoto por meio de análises de demanda bioquímica de oxigênio e de testes de respirometria. Os resultados indicam que nestes ambientes sanitários o mau cheiro não foi reduzido com o emprego de tabletes de microrganismos e em Estações de Tratamento de Esgoto, na concentração indicada pelo fabricante, o produto não produziu alterações significativas nas características analisadas do esgoto.

Resumo O crescente debate sobre medição de desempenho entre profissionais e entre pesquisadores da área de gestão organizacional ainda não foi suficiente para consolidar as práticas de medição na indústria da construção. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo identificar as oportunidades para o aprimoramento dos sistemas de medição de desempenho na Construção. Para tanto, foram avaliados 22 modelos identificados na literatura nacional e internacional dos últimos 25 anos, aplicando protocolo de análise proposto neste estudo, e validado por especialistas. A partir do mapeamento das principais características, papéis e processos das práticas de medição no setor, da avaliação realizada concluiu-se que há necessidade de melhorias (i) no processamento dos dados, integrando-o à rotina organizacional, (ii) na gestão da informação, melhorando os mecanismos de geração de conhecimentos, (iii) na conexão da avaliação com um sistema de recompensas, e (iv) na revisão sistemática, quanto à sua utilidade, eficiência e consistência geral, não apenas de seus indicadores individuais. Propôs-se, ainda, um framework que apresenta uma visão holística do processo de medição, enfatizando a diferença entre sistema de indicadores e de medição de desempenho. Uma agenda de pesquisa foi sugerida, a partir das lacunas e oportunidades de melhoria encontrados.

Interstitial deletions of chromosome band 10q22.1q22.3 are rare. We here report a 2.5-year-old female patient with developmental delay, speech delay, congenital cleft palate, and bilateral hearing impairment. The girl's karyotype was normal. Chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) revealed a 1.77-Mb de novo interstitial deletion in 10q22.2q22.3. The deletion harbors 9 genes, including KAT6B, DUPD1, DUSP13, SAMD8, VDAC2, COMTD1, ZNF503, NCRNA00245, and C10orf11. This is the first patient with a deletion of the smallest size in 10q22.2q22.3 as detected using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays. Comparisons with patients with overlapping deletions and in neighboring regions demonstrate the clinical impact of each deletion and in the context of other deletions within the 10q22q23 region. Additionally, KAT6B and C10orf11 could represent disease-associated genes that contribute to developmental delay, speech and language delay, and congenital cleft palate.

A adesmia (Adesmia latifolia) é uma leguminosa nativa da região sul do Brasil, que apresenta algumas características de crescimento e adaptação interessantes para o seu cultivo como espécie forrageira. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi isolar, identificar e autenticar rizóbios infectivos e eficientes quanto à fixação biológica de nitrogênio em adesmia. Com base em características morfo-fisiológicas foram isoladas e identificadas colônias com características rizobianas. Também foram estudadas três estirpes recomendadas para adesmia (SEMIA 3007, SEMIA 6437 e SEMIA 6438), e 50 rizobios isolados de A. latifolia, fornecidos pela Epagri-SC. Foram obtidos 17 isolados bacterianos. No experimento para autenticação observou-se que do total de rizobios estudados, 61 isolados foram capazes de nodular adesmia e 38 foram capazes de incrementar a massa fresca das plantas. As plantas inoculadas com os isolados EEL46210 e EEL1010 superaram as do tratamento Controle + N e as inoculadas com a estirpe SEMIA6437 na produção de massa fresca total, número de folhas e comprimento da parte aérea.
