OS CINCO ARTIGOS DE FÉ DO ARMINIANISMO DISCUTIDOS NO SÍNODO DE DORT (1618-1619):
Authors: Lima Daniel Barros de , Silveira Sergio Becker da
Published: October 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma análise do Sínodo de Dort, assembléia realizada em 1618-19 em Dordrecht na Holanda. Este Sínodo foi convocado pelo Estado para tratar da Remonstrância, documento publicado pelos discípulos de Jacobus Arminius, que começaram a questionar as doutrinas da igreja reformada, e queriam uma revisão da Confissão Belga e do Catecismo de Heidelberg, catecismo oficial da igreja. Este documento continha cinco artigos que tratavam sobre a predestinação, expiação de Cristo, o livre-arbítrio, a graça de Deus e a perseverança dos santos. Os cinco artigos foram discutidos e uma comissão preparou o texto dos Cânones ou regras de doutrinas em que rejeitava a doutrina arminiana e expunha também em cinco artigos a fé reformada. Tendo então os Cânones de Dort como parecer final das reuniões deste Sínodo, este trabalho propõe analisar se a decisão do Sínodo está de acordo com o ensino das Escrituras. Através de uma análise histórico teológica, os temas desses artigos serão analisados por diversos autores, incluindo alguns autores clássicos da igreja antiga, pois estes temas têm sido discutidos durante toda a história da teologia até os dias de hoje.
ENTRE O PLURALISMO E O DIÁLOGO INTER-RELIGIOSO:
Authors: Barrozo Victor Breno Farias
Published: October 2018

O presente artigo propõe-se discutir panoramicamente sobre a problemática do diálogo inter-religioso, no contexto da situação pluralista das religiões na sociedade contemporânea, tomando como perspectiva contributiva à abordagem do teólogo alemão Jürgen Moltmann (1926). Para tanto, traçaremos panoramicamente o lugar, as perspectivas e as direções que constituem a chamada “teologia cristã das religiões” ou “teologia do pluralismo religioso”. Em seguida, apresentaremos de uma forma em geral, como se está posta a discussão sobre os eixos e formas do diálogo inter-religioso na reflexão da teologia das religiões. E por fim, desenvolveremos alguns apontamentos a respeito de tal questão, a partir da leitura tópica dos livros A Igreja no Poder do Espírito (1975) e Experiências de reflexão teológica (1999), em busca de elementos introdutórios para uma sinalização do prisma protestante acerca do diálogo entre o cristianismo e as religiões no mundo atual.
ANÚNCIO E DENÚNCIA:
Authors: Silveira Sergio Becker da
Published: October 2018

O presente artigo trata da educação pretendida por Lutero em sua proposta de reformas no âmbito da Igreja e na própria sociedade alemã, no século XVI em consonância com as propostas de educação no século XXI. A proposta deste trabalho é realizar um paralelo sobre as ideias de Lutero sobre educação e a realidade vivida e experimentada nos dias de hoje. Um diálogo entre as propostas do reformador por uma educação inclusiva, democrática e libertadora. A primeira etapa deste método é conceitual onde se aprende os conceitos, distinções e comparações e, a outra etapa, consiste em explorar a capacidade de interpretação, crítica e criação. Em outras palavras, trata de uma relação entre Martinho Lutero e a história da educação hodierna e suas propostas para uma educação inclusiva, democrática e libertadora. Este paralelismo de ideias gerou na pesquisa a criticidade e debate frente ao contexto vivenciado nos dias de hoje em busca de uma educação inclusiva que respondesse ao clamor do povo.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo descrever e apresentar o fenômeno religioso de caráter universal, constituído do aspecto inerente ao ser humano, através do conhecimento da manifestação do sagrado na cultura da Etnia Sateré Mawe através do ritual  de passagem vivenciado pelos meninos que assinala a passagem da criança para a idade adulta concretizado no mito da  formiga Tucundeira. O trabalho foi desenvolvido com a pesquisa bibliográfica trazendo uma contribuição para a compreensão da importância e do significado deste ritual para a cultura da Etnia Sateré Mawe na Amazônia.
PANORAMA HISTÓRICO DO DOGMA TRINITÁRIO DO CONCÍLIO DE NICÉIA ATÉ O DE CONSTANTINOPLA
Authors: Pereira Reginaldo Bello , Lima Daniel Barros de
Published: October 2018

Este artigo apresenta um panorama histórico cujo objetivo é o de fazer uma análise sobre a formulação do dogma Trinitário abordando do concílio de Niceia até o de Constantinopla. A metodologia empregada neste estudo foi a histórica bibliográfica, utilizando livros de autores renomados tais como GONZÁLEZ, Justo L., KELLY, J. N. D, PELIKAN, Jaroslov., WALKER, Wiliston., OLSON, Roger. O resultado de toda essa análise histórica é o de que o concílio de Nicéa foi realizado a partir de uma ordem de Constantino afim de propor um fim às conturbações teológicas acerca da divindade de Cristo promovidas pelo arianismo. E, anos depois é realizado o concílio de Constantinopla cuja finalidade foi a de ressaltar a divindade do Filho, acrescentar a sua humanidade e acrescentando também a divindade do Espírito Santo. A importância de se estudar os dogmas e as doutrinas do cristianismo é valorável por conceder o poder de não transformar o cristianismo numa religião mitológica servindo apenas como uma solução terapêutica. O importante não é só conhecer as doutrinas, mas também pensamentos divergentes à doutrina Trinitária. Pois a formulação do dogma Trinitário só foi possível a partir dos pensamentos arianistas.
A FORÇA DA ESCATOLOGIA:

Published: October 2018

O presente artigo vai discutir a presença das crenças milenaristas nas culturas teológicas de sociedades ocidentais e orientais. Veremos que na tradição protestante o milenarismo se divide em pré-milenarismo e pós-milenarismo. No primeiro, acredita-se que os mil anos de justiça e felicidade serão precedidos pela repentina vinda de Cristo. Já no segundo, o milênio é compreendido como o estado final do processo evolutivo, quando, enfim, a sociedade humana será plenamente justa e equânime. Partimos do pressuposto de que os anseios por “novos céus e nova terra” estão presentes em várias culturas.
A REPRESENTAÇÃO DO SAGRADO NO ROMANCE CHUVA BRANCA, DE PAULO JACOB
Authors: Souza Jamescley Almeida de
Published: October 2018

Chuva branca, o mais famoso romance de Paulo Jacob, é uma porta de entrada para o encontro com a Amazônia e com a forma com que ela encara e vive a religião e o sagrado. Por meio de Luis Chato, o representante coletivo do homem deste espaço, o romance mostra que a Amazônia, em especial aquilo que no trabalho eu chamo de a “Terceira Amazônia”, possui uma maneira peculiar de viver a sua religiosidade. Baseado no sincretismo religioso que veio a se formar a partir da religião cristã e da tradição indígena, o homem deste espaço clama por todos os santos, deuses e entidades mitológicas que podem lhe auxiliar. O trabalho ressalta, ainda, o fato de o seu autor, Paulo Jacob, judeu e de tradição monoteísta, ter conseguido retratar, com realidade, esse aspecto da religiosidade amazônica.
EDUCAÇÃO E A PERSPECTIVA DO ENCONTRO–DIÁLOGO
Authors: Salvador Edeney Barroso
Published: October 2018

Reflete acerca da educação na perspectiva do encontro-diálogo. Tem como objetivo apresentar as dimensões da educação, delimitada nos aspectos do encontro-diálogo consigo mesmo, com o outro, com o transcendente e com a natureza, a fim de somar positivamente no debate acerca dos desafios das práxis educativas, tendo em conta as diversidades. O texto nasce de uma inquietação pessoal, ao constatar, no cotidiano do fazer/viver educativo e nos seus resultados na vida comum de cidadãos e cidadãs, educadores/as e educandos/as, que a habilidade do encontro-diálogo é pouco desenvolvida, e, portanto, carregada de conflitos a serem superados. O texto-discurso foi construído com base nas leituras e hermenêutica de textos que discutem a educação focada na humanização e libertação da pessoa humana, atento aos aspectos antropo-teo-ecológico-culturais. Finalmente, aponta-se para horizontes que possam contribuir no devir de um ensino-aprendizagem consciente das identidades da pessoa humana: dialógica-transcendental-ecológica.

Authors: Silveira Sergio Becker da , Ribeiro Reyth Da Cunha , Palheta Jairo Da Gama
Published: October 2018

Entendendo que a espiritualidade pode ser encarada como um estilo de vida para toda pessoa cristã. Podemos afirmar que a espiritualidade cristã se desenvolve, entre outras maneiras, mas principalmente, como resultado da representatividade do texto neotestamentário destacando-se como ponto de partida para a origem e o desenvolvimento da temática em questão. Portanto, apresentamos esta pesquisa que tem como objetivo propor uma análise bíblico-teológica, em perspectiva cristã, da espiritualidade, apresentando apontamentos a partir do contexto do Segundo Testamento, onde destacamos a vida de Jesus, dos apóstolos e da primeira Igreja apontando sugestões para superação dos desafios para uma espiritualidade para a Igreja nos dias de hoje.  Desta forma, esta pesquisa pretende analisar a espiritualidade como algo inerente ao ser humano, e abrir um horizonte mais amplo para a compreensão da genuína espiritualidade cristã.

Authors: Silveira Sergio Becker da , Corrêa Alex De Melo
Published: October 2018

O presente artigo visa abordar as principais características da Teologia da Missão Integral (TMI), bem como se busca evidenciar quais as influências que a mesma pode exercer sobre a igreja, e também sobre a sociedade. Para tanto, foi feito uma pesquisa em literaturas e artigos que abordam esta temática, o que permitiu descortinar e compreender com mais detalhes os aspectos vitais da TMI para o contexto hodierno no Brasil; cabendo destacar que houve uma inquietação ao escrever o artigo em expor dados mais concretos das ações práticas deste, que tem sido chamado por alguns de um “repensar do modo de fazer missões”. Ao final, conclui-se por meio de dados retirados de aplicações práticas, que a Teologia da Missão Integral tem valor inestimável para a população, seja igreja ou sociedade. O artigo ficou dividido de forma que foram apresentados os conceitos amplos de missão cristã, sendo expostas as bases da Teologia da Missão Integral, tais como a Fraternidade Teológica Latino-americana (FTL) e o Pacto de Laussane; em seguida foram estudadas as particularidades da Teologia da Missão Integral e seus principais teólogos. O anseio dos oprimidos ganhou destaque no artigo, e por fim foram expressos os elementos mais práticos do uso da TMI na sociedade e na igreja, o que permitiu conclusões mais concretas e fundamentadas.
Quelques difficultés de la théorie dynamique des électrons. Un formalisme qui tente de les éviter
Authors: Tournarie Max
Published: October 2018

Parmi les difficultés de la théorie dynamique des électrons se trouvent l'écriture des conditions aux limites et le choix des approximations à faire pour obtenir à la fois un formalisme manipulable et une solution suffisamment proche de la réalité.

Dans le cas de la transmission à travers une lamelle cristalline, on atténue les difficultés en utilisant une représentation matricielle dans un espace mixte, direct dans la direction de propagation, réciproque dans les deux autres. On peut ainsi obtenir quelques solutions rigoureuses et les comparer avec celles que donnent d'autres théories dans le même cas.

Definiteness in Akan: Familiarity and uniqueness revisited
Authors: Bombi Carla
Published: October 2018

In the recent semantic literature, Akan is viewed as a language that distinguishes between uniqueness definites and familiarity definites (Schwarz 2009, 2013), following a proposal by Arkoh & Matthewson (2013). Based on a re-examination of previous evidence and on novel fieldwork data, this paper argues that this distinction is not supported in Akan. A novel analysis is put forward, in which the overt determiners in this language have a similar distribution to that of English the and that. Differences between English the and the Akan article nó are attributed to the availability of a definite bare noun, which is a competitor to the overt definite in Akan. The paper shows that definiteness distinctions cannot always be reduced to a uniqueness–familiarity dichotomy, and points to a more articulated view of definites cross-linguistically.
The Thought Uniqueness Hypothesis
Authors: Sauerland Uli
Published: October 2018

A novel principle, the Thought Uniqueness Hypothesis (TUH), unifies several restrictions on interpretation that work in theoretical semantics has observed, in particular the following: binding and scope economy of Fox (2000, MIT Press), and constraints on types (Heim 2017, unpublished; Hirsch 2017, MIT Dissertation). The principle not only derives these phenomena, but makes additional novel pre- dictions such as a reduction of superiority and D-linking data and the interaction of i-within-i phenomena with coordination. Furthermore the principle exhibits close similarities to current work on exhaustification and efficiency (Meyer 2013, MIT Dissertation) with a potential for further unification. The statement of the TUH is most natural on a realizational view of grammar, where conceptual representations are generated by a non-linguistic system, and then realized by the linguistic sys- tem. It therefore argues against the view that surface word order plays a role in interpretation (Chomsky 1970, TEC Co., and others).
Metalinguistic "just" and "simply": exploring emphatic exclusives
Authors: Beltrama Andrea
Published: October 2018

When occurring next to predicates located at the extreme of a scale, "just" and "simply" contribute an emphatic effect. In this paper, I propose to analyze these uses as exclusive operators over "metalinguistic alternatives", whereby the speaker signals that no more complex alternative description is assertable in the context. On this account, emphasis emerges as an indirect effect of the interaction between exclusivity and scalar extremeness: because all the alternatives to extreme predicates happen to be weaker than the predicate itself, ruling them out will induce an "anti-weakening" effect, whereby the prejacent is interpreted in its full strength, and not merely as a possible alternative among weaker ones.
Spurious NPI licensing and exhaustification
Authors: Mendia Jon Ander , Poole Ethan , Dillon Brian
Published: October 2018

Under certain circumstances, speakers are subject to so-called spurious NPI licensing effects, whereby they perceive that NPIs without a c–commanding licensor are in fact licensed and grammatical. Previous studies have all involved the presence of a licensor in a position that linearly precedes, but does not c–command the NPI. In this paper, we show that spurious NPI licensing can occur in the outright absence of a licensor, in contexts that force an exhaustive parse. We reason that at least these instances of spurious NPI licensing might be reduced to the E XH operator pragmatically “rescuing” the NPI, in the sense of Giannakidou (1998, 2006).
VIABLE FUTURES THROUGH DESIGN: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EXPERIENCES IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
Authors: Chamorro-Koc Marianella , Caldwell Glenda
Published: October 2018

Community engagement projects for social innovation are increasingly happening across the globe and show a trend that involves communities in participatory approaches for the resolution of a variety of social needs. However, little has been discussed about how this type of projects could possibly lead to the production of viable futures as design innovations, and how social and cultural factors influence people’s engagement and participation in community-based projects. We argue that making viable futures by design requires a bottom up approach where ideas depart from the community itself, where the co-production of knowledge takes place through a process that is collaborative, participatory and engaging. From this perspective, in this paper we discuss insights gained through a study tour project in which we explored the various aspects of the concept of engagement as a key component of design innovations in people’s everyday activities. The study tour project took place at a Faculty of Creative Industries in Australia and comprised two different design creative explorations: Mutant Piggy student project involving students from Australia, China and Peru; and the InstaBooth research project involving Brisbane’s, Australia community. From our experiences we establish the concept of viable futures by design as the enabling of new endeavours that are made possible within particular contexts and within local people’s knowledge. Finally, we propose that the making of viable futures by design is an engagement process that requires co-production of knowledge and suitable tools to facilitate democratic and true participation; and that this process can prompt social change as a by-product of these community-engagement experiences.
Gemini, SOFIA, and ATCA Reveal Very Young, Massive Protostars in the Collapsing Molecular Cloud BYF 73

Published: October 2018

We present multi-wavelength data on the globally infalling molecular cloud/protostellar cluster BYF 73. These include new far-infrared (FIR) spectral line and continuum data from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy’s (SOFIA’s) Far Infrared Field-Imaging Line Spectrometer (FIFI-LS), mid-infrared (MIR) observations with the Thermal-Region Camera Spectrograph (T-ReCS) on Gemini-South, and 3 mm continuum data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), plus archival data from Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera (IRAC), and Herschel/Photodetecting Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) and Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE). The FIFI-LS spectroscopy in [O i]

, [O iii]

, [O i]

, and [C ii]

highlights different gas environments in and between the dense molecular cloud and H ii region. The photo dissociation region (PDR) between the cloud and H ii region is best traced by [O i]

and may have density >1010 m−3, but the observed

and λ63 μm/λ158 μm line ratios in the densest gas are well outside model values. The H ii region is well-traced by [C ii], with the λ158 μm/λ145 μm line ratio, indicating a density of 108.5 m−3 and a relatively weak ionizing radiation field, 1.5 ≲ log(G/G
0) ≲ 2. The T-ReCS data reveal eight protostellar objects in the cloud, of which six appear deeply embedded (A

or more) near the cloud’s center. MIR 2 has the most massive core at ∼240 M

, more massive than all the others combined by up to tenfold, with no obvious gas outflow, negligible cooling line emission, and ∼3%–8% of its 4.7 × 103

luminosity originating from the release of gravitational potential energy. MIR 2's dynamical age may be as little as 7000 years. This fact, and the cloud’s total embedded stellar mass being far less than its gas mass, confirm BYF 73's relatively early stage of evolution.
Detection of 84 GHz Class I Methanol Maser Emission toward NGC 253
Authors: McCarthy Tiege P. , Ellingsen Simon P. , Breen Shari L. , Voronkov Maxim A. , Chen Xi
Published: October 2018

We have investigated the central region of NGC 253 for the presence of 84.5 GHz (5−1 → 40E) methanol emission using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. We present the second detection of 84.5 GHz class I methanol maser emission outside of the Milky Way. This maser emission is offset from the dynamical center of NGC 253, in a region with previously detected emission from class I maser transitions (36.2 GHz 4−1 → 30E and 44.1 GHz 70 → 61A+ methanol lines). The emission features a narrow linewidth (∼12

) with a luminosity approximately that is 5 orders of magnitude higher than typical Galactic sources. We determine an integrated line intensity ratio of 1.2 ± 0.4 between the 36.2 and 84.5 GHz class I methanol maser emission, which is similar to the ratio observed toward Galactic sources. The three methanol maser transitions observed toward NGC 253 each show a different distribution, suggesting differing physical conditions between the maser sites, and also that observations of additional class I methanol transitions will facilitate investigations of the maser pumping regime.

Person-Centered Incontinence Care in Residential Care Facilities for Older Adults With Cognitive Decline: Feasibility and Preliminary Effects on Quality of Life and Quality of Care
Authors: Wijk Helle , Corazzini Kirsten , Kjellberg Irma Lindström , Kinnander Anton , Alexiou Eirini , Swedberg Karl
Published: October 2018

The current study operationalized, assessed, and evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effects of implementing a person-centered approach to incontinence care for older adults with cognitive decline in residential care facilities (RCFs) in Sweden. Twenty health care workers were purposively sampled from two intervention RCFs. Process outcome was measured as number of assessments conducted for incontinence management. Impact outcome measures were quality of life, basal assessment of incontinence, incontinence actions taken, and personally chosen incontinence aids. A usual care control group RCF was matched by resident case-mix and geographic region. Introduction of a person-centered approach showed an increase in residents' quality of life in the intervention group compared to baseline and the control group. A positive effect was found on the number of urinary incontinence assessments conducted (
p
< 0.05). In addition, the number of person-centered caring actions (e.g., toilet assistance) was significantly higher during and 6 months after implementation of the person-centered approach. Implementing a person-centered approach in clinical practice focused on incontinence care, quality of care, and quality of life is supported for RCF residents. [

Published studies regarding Bichat fat pad focused, quite exclusively, on the implant of this adipose depot for different facial portions reconstruction. The regenerative components of Bichat fat pad were poorly investigated. The present study aimed to describe by an ultrastructural approach the Bichat fat pad, providing novel data at the ultrastructural and cellular level. This data sets improve the knowledge about the usefulness of the Bichat fat pad in regenerative and reconstructive surgery. Bichat fat pads were harvested form eight patients subjected to maxillofacial, dental and aesthetic surgeries. Biopsies were used for the isolation of mesenchymal cell compartment and for ultrastructural analysis. Respectively, Bichat fat pads were either digested and placed in culture for the characterization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or, were fixed in glutaraldehyde 2% and processed for transmission or scanning electron microscopy. Collected data showed very interesting features regarding the cellular composition of the Bichat fat pad and, in particular, experiments aimed to characterized the MSCs showed the presence of a sub-population of MSCs characterized by the expression of specific markers that allow to classify them as multilineage differentiating stress enduring cells.  This data set allows to collect novel information about regenerative potential of Bichat fat pad that could explain the success of its employment in reconstructive and regenerative medicine.

Role of human leukocyte antigens DRB1-DQB1 haplotype in the susceptibility to gastroesophageal reflux disease
Authors: Mahdi Batool Mutar , Hasan Riyadh Mohamad , Hazim Wafaa
Published: October 2018

Gastro oesophageal reflux disease is due to involuntary gastric contents reflux into the esophagus from stomach, causing heartburn and acid regurgitation symptoms. Genetic and environmental factors are important factors in the causation of disease. Human Leukocyte antigens considered as an excellent marker for population genetics analysis and disease association. This study aimed to investigate the association between HLA-DRB1-DQB1 haplotype that inherited in linkage and its association with gastro oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Patients and healthy controls were prospectively recruited from gastrocolonoscope unit at Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital (Baghdad-Iraq) between January and July 2016. Forty Iraqi Arab Muslims patients with a history of heartburn and dyspepsia compared with 100 Iraqi Arab Muslims control. All study patients and control group underwent upper gastroesophageal endoscope examination and HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 genotype were done using sequence spesific oligonucleotide primer to both groups. The frequencies of two haplotype HLA-DRB1⁄03-DQB1⁄03 and HLADRB1⁄ 13-DQB1⁄06 were significantly higher in patients with GERD while haplotype HLA-DRB1⁄03-DQB1⁄02 was significantly higher in control group. Sex had an effect in disease developing that haplotype HLADRB1⁄ 03-DQB1⁄03 was significantly more common in female patients that increased susceptibility to disease. This study identified that two haplotypes HLA-DRB1⁄03- DQB1⁄03 and HLA-DRB1⁄13- DQB1⁄06 leads to increased susceptibility to GERD and haplotype HLA-DRB1⁄03-DQB1⁄02 was protective against GERD development.
Analysis of Quercetin and Kaempferol Levels in Various Phase of Flowers Melastoma malabathricum L.
Authors: Isnaini  , Permatasari Nur , Mintaroem Karyono , Widodo M. Aris
Published: October 2018

Melastoma malabathricum L. flowers are part of a plant that contains quercetin and kaempferol. Quercetin and kaempferol are useful for their antioxidant and anticancer properties. The flowering phase affects levels of quercetin and kaempferol. There are four phases of flower blooming: 1st bud phase (K1), 2nd bud phase (K2), 3rd bud phase (K3), and flower bloom (M). It remains to be determined which phase of Melastoma malabathricum L. flowering shows the highest levels of quercetin and kaempferol. Quercetin and kaempferol levels were measured using HPLC MS/MS. The measured quercetin levels of K1, K2, K3, and M phases, respectively, were: 19.47 μg/g, 17.78 μg/g, 31.2 μg/g, and 94.32 μg/g. Levels of kaempferol during K1, K2, K3, and M, respectively, were: 140.99 μg/g, 57.28 μg/g, 95.32 μg/g, and 349.37 μg/g.
On spectral properties of Neuman–Poincaré operator and plasmonic resonances in 3D elastostatics
Authors: Deng Youjun , Li Hongjie , Liu Hongyu
Published: October 2018

We consider plasmon resonances and cloaking for the elastostatic system in

\mathbb{R}^3

via the spectral theory of the Neumann–Poincaré operator. We first derive the full spectral properties of the Neumann–Poincaré operator for the 3D elastostatic system in the spherical geometry. The spectral result is of significant interest for its own sake, and serves as a highly nontrivial extension of the corresponding 2D study in [4]. The derivation of the spectral result in 3D involves much more complicated and subtle calculations and arguments than that for the 2D case. Then we consider a 3D plasmonic structure in elastostatics which takes a general core-shell-matrix form with the metamaterial located in the shell. Using the obtained spectral result, we provide an accurate characterisation of the anomalous localised resonance and cloaking associated to such a plasmonic structure.

Authors: Oliveira Neto Gilson De Sousa , Amaral Neto Osmar Alexandre do , Silva Vera Lúcia da , Leite Eduardo Cesar Cordeiro , Salomão Ítalo Linhares
Published: October 2018

O cálculo de lajes pode ser realizado através de processos simplificados, tendo como o parâmetro lambda (λ) o dado inicial a ser determinado. Este valor é constituído pela razão entre o lado menos rígido (ly) e o lado mais rígido (lx). Tendo como base a Tabela de Marcus, na maioria dos casos, a viga com menor comprimento é a mais rígida, porém, isso pode variar em três exceções, que são: laje constituída por uma faixa com dois apoios simples e outra perpendicular com um apoio simples e um engastado (Caso 2); laje composta por uma faixa com dois apoios simples e outra perpendicular com dois apoios engastados (Caso 4); laje formada por uma faixa com um apoio simples e o outro engastado e uma segunda faixa com dois apoios engastados (Caso 5). Para a determinação do elemento de maior rigidez de forma simplificada, foram criados parâmetros a partir de métodos estatísticos gerados em função do deslocamento para cada tipo de faixa representada por viga. A amostra escolhida foi de 600 vigas, sendo 200 para cada um dos 3 casos. O coeficiente para definição do elemento de maior rigidez determinado para o caso 2 foi de 0,810975667, para o caso 4 tem-se 0,675694 e para o caso 5 obteve-se 0,839303.

Purpose

Haemangioblastomas (HABLs) and pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) are brain tumours presenting similar appearance and location in conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The purpose of our study was to determine whether a detailed analysis of diffusion (DWI) and perfusion (PWI) characteristics can be useful in preoperative differentiation of these tumours.

Material and methods

The study group consisted of biopsy proven six HABLs and six PAs, which underwent preoperative standard MR examinations including PWI and DWI. In PWI relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and the shape of perfusion curves (parameters of peak height – rPH and percentage of signal recovery – rPSR) were analysed. All perfusion parameters were measured for the entire tumour core (mean rCBV, mean rPH, mean rPSR) and in regions with maximal values (max rCBV, max rPH, max rPSR). In DWI parameters of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from the entire tumour core (mean ADC) and in regions with minimal values (min ADC) were evaluated.

Results

Compared to PAs, HABLs presented significantly higher rCBV and rPH values and lower mean rPSR value. PAs showed significantly lower rCBV and rPH values and higher mean rPSR value. Mean rCBV showed no overlap in the values between HABLs and PAs, and thus it provided the highest accuracy in differentiating between them. Max rPSR, mean ADC, and min ADC did not show any significant differences.

Conclusions

High rCBV values and deep perfusion curves with only partial return to the baseline are characteristic features of HABLs differentiating them from PAs, which show lower rCBV values and perfusion curves overshooting the baseline. Diffusion parameters are not useful in differentiation of these tumours.

Published: October 2018

Purpose

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are connected with cerebral haemorrhage, seizures, increased intracranial pressure, headaches, mass effect, and ischaemia symptoms. Selection of the best treatment method or even deciding if intervention is required can be difficult.

Material and methods

The study included 50 patients who were diagnosed with cerebral AVMs and treated in our Centre between 2008 and 2014. A total of 111 procedures were performed, including 94 endovascular embolisations and 17 neurosurgical procedures. Medical records and imaging data were reviewed for all patients. All AVMs were measured and assessed, allowing classification in Spetzler-Martin and Spetzler-Ponce scales.

Results

Complete or partial treatment was observed in 88.24% of neurosurgical procedures and in 84.00% of embolisations. Early complication rate was 21.28% for embolisation and 17.65% for neurosurgical procedures, while Glasgow Outcome Scale was 4.89 (σ = 0.38) and 5.0 (σ = 0.00), respectively. According to the Spetzler-Martin scale, cerebral haemorrhages occurred more frequently in grade 1, but no statistical significance was observed. In Spetzler-Ponce class B lower grades in Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were noticed (p = 0.02). Lower GCS scores were also correlated with deep location of AVM and with eloquence of adjacent brain. Patients with Spetzler-Martin grade 1 were more frequently qualified for neurosurgical procedures than other patients.

Conclusions

Treating AVMs requires coordination of a multidisciplinary team. Both endovascular embolisation and neurosurgical procedure should be considered as a part of multimodal, frequently multistage treatment. Spetzler-Martin and Spetzler-Ponce scales have an influence on haemorrhage frequency and patients’ clinical condition and should be taken into consideration in selecting the treatment method.

Purpose

To present a single-centre experience with endovascular treatment of patients with severe symptoms secondary to acute pulmonary embolism (PE).

Material and methods

Twenty-five patients were treated due to contraindications or deficient effects of systemic thrombolytic therapy. The patients were treated with a combination of fragmentation and aspiration, only aspiration, or only fragmentation, and with catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy.

Results

The saturation was improved following treatment in all patients, except in one where the procedure could not be completed. There were no immediate or late procedure-related complications.

Conclusions

Endovascular treatment of severe PE is a safe and efficient option in patients with failing effect or contra­indication to systemic thrombolysis.

Authors: Ozturk Kerem , Soylu Esra , Gokalp Gokhan , Topal Ugur
Published: October 2018

Purpose

To determine the risk factors of pneumothorax and chest tube placement after computed tomography-guided core needle lung biopsy (CT-CNB).

Material and methods

Variables that could increase the risk of pneumothorax and chest tube placement were retrospectively analysed in 822 CT-CNBs conducted with 18-gauge non-coaxial CT-CNB in 813 patients (646 men and 167 women; range: 18-90 years; mean: 59.8 years). Predictor variables were age, gender, patient position, severity of pulmonary emphysema, lesion size and localisation, contour characteristics, presence of atelectasis, pleural tag and fissure in the needle-tract, length of the aerated lung parenchyma crossed by the needle, needle entry angle, number of pleural punctures, experience of the operator, and procedure duration. All variables were investigated by ×2 test and logistic regression analysis.

Results

The overall incidence of pneumothorax was 15.4% (127/822). Chest tube placement was required for 22.8% (29/127) of pneumothoraxes. The significant independent variables for pneumothorax were lesions smaller than 3 cm (p = 0.009), supine and lateral decubitus position during the procedure (p < 0.001), greater lesion depth (p = 0.001), severity of pulmonary emphysema (p < 0.001), needle path crossing the fissure (p < 0.001), and a path that skips the atelectasis (p < 0.001) or pleural tag (p < 0.001); those for chest tube placement were prone position (p < 0.001), less experienced operator (p = 0.001), severity of pulmonary emphysema (p < 0.001), and greater lesion depth (p = 0.008).

Conclusions

The supine and lateral decubitus position, a needle path that crosses the fissure, and a path that skips the atelectasis or a pleural tag are novel predictors for the development of pneumothorax.
Exploring aerosol cloud interaction using VOCALS-REx aircraft measurements
Authors: Jia Hailing , Ma Xiaoyan , Liu Yangang
Published: October 2018

Abstract. In situ aircraft measurements during the VAMOS Ocean–Cloud–Atmosphere–Land Study-Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx) field campaign are employed to study the interaction between aerosol and stratocumulus over the southeast Pacific Ocean, as well as entrainment process near the top of stratocumulus and its possible impacts on aerosol–cloud interaction. Our analysis suggest that the increase of liquid water content (LWC) is mainly contributed by cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) instead of effective radius of cloud droplets in the polluted case, in which more droplets form with smaller size, while the opposite is true in the clean case. By looking into the influences of dynamical conditions and aerosol microphysical properties on the cloud droplet formation, it is confirmed that cloud droplets are more easily to form under the conditions with large vertical velocity and aerosol size. An increase in aerosol concentration tends to increase both Nd and relative dispersion (ϵ), while an increase in vertical velocity (w) often increases Nd but decreases ϵ. After constraining the differences of cloud dynamics, positive correlation between ϵ and Nd become stronger, implying that perturbations of w could weaken the influence of aerosol on ϵ, and hence may result in an underestimation of aerosol dispersion effect. The difference of cloud microphysical properties between entrainment and non-entrainment zones confirms that the entrainment-mixing mechanism is predominantly extreme inhomogeneous in the stratocumulus that capped by a sharp inversion, namely the entrainment reduces Nd and LWC by 28.9 % and 24.8 % on average, respectively, while the size of droplets is relatively unaffected. In entrainment zone, smaller aerosols and drier air entrained from the top induce less cloud droplet with respect to total in-cloud particles (0.56 ± 0.22) than the case in non-entrainment zone (0.73 ± .0.13) by inhibiting aerosol activation and promoting cloud droplets evaporation.
Vertical Ionosphere Delay Estimation using Zero Difference GPS Phase Observation
Authors: Elsayed Ahmed , Sedeek Ahmed , Doma Mohamed , Rabah Mostafa
Published: October 2018

Abstract. An apparent delay is occurred in GPS signal due to both refraction and diffraction caused by the atmosphere. The second region of the atmosphere is the ionosphere. The ionosphere is significantly related to GPS and the refraction it causes in GPS signal is considered one of the main source of errors which must be eliminated to determine accurate positions. GPS receiver networks have been used for monitoring the ionosphere for a long time. The ionospheric delay is the most predominant of all the error sources. This delay is a function of the total electron content (TEC). Because of the dispersive nature of the ionosphere, one can estimate the ionospheric delay using the dual frequency GPS. In the current research our primary goal is applying Precise Point Positioning (PPP) observation for accurate ionosphere error modeling, by estimating Ionosphere delay using carrier phase observations from dual frequency GPS receiver. The proposed algorithm was written using MATLAB. The proposed Algorithm depends on the geometry-free carrier-phase observations after detecting cycle slip to estimates the ionospheric delay using a spherical ionospheric shell model, in which the vertical delays are described by means of a zenith delay at the station position and latitudinal and longitudinal gradients. Geometry-free carrier-phase observations were applied to avoid unwanted effects of pseudorange measurements, such as code multipath. The ionospheric estimation in this algorithm is performed by means of sequential least-squares adjustment. Finally, an adaptable user interface MATLAB software are capable of estimating ionosphere delay, ambiguity term and ionosphere gradient accurately.
HESS Opinions: How should a future water census address consumptive use? (And where can we substitute withdrawal data while we wait?)
Authors: Ruddell Benjamin L.
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Despite the centrality of the water balance equation to hydrology and water
resources, in 2018 we still lack adequate empirical observations of
consumptive use of water by humans and their economy. It is therefore worth
considering what we can do with the withdrawal-based water use data we
already possess, and what future water census measurements would be required
to more accurately quantify consumptive use for the most common mesoscale use
cases. The limitations of the currently applied simple net consumptive use
(SNCU) assumptions are discussed for several common use cases. Fortunately,
several applied water management, economics, and policy questions can be
sufficiently addressed using currently available withdrawal numbers in place
of water consumption numbers. This discussion clarifies the broad
requirements for an improved “stock and flow” census-scale data model for
consumptive water use. While we are waiting for the eventual arrival of a
more sophisticated water census, the withdrawal data we already possess are
sufficient for some of our most important scientific and applied purposes.
