PRIEKIN (‘ahead’, ‘frontward’) – through space and time
Authors: Kardelis Vytautas , Kardelytė-Grinevičienė Daiva
Published: April 2016

Based on the combination of methods of referential and cognitive semantics, this article discusses one part of the model of spatial and temporal relations, i.e. the sagittal and its realisation in discourse. The object of this study is the realisation of the sagittal by the adverbial priekin (‘ahead’, ‘frontward’) in the Vilniškiai subdialect of Northeastern Aukštaitija. This dialect features prototypical and non-prototypical uses of the adverbial priekin. In its prototypical use the adverbial refers to location in space and acquires the meaning of ‘forward to the direction of movement’, in front of oneself, ahead / frontward’) (based on LKŽ (Lietuvių kalbos žodynas [‘Dictionary of the Lithuanian Language’]). The transfer of temporal scenes into discourse makes use of the adverbial priekin in its non-prototypical sense to refer to an earlier time of events, i.e. ‘earlier, previously’ or ‘in advance’. The non-prototypical use of the adverbial priekin to refer to temporal scenes in discourse is determined by the speaker’s choice of the strategy and perspective of conceptualising a specific temporal scene. When the speaker chooses the strategy of text-internal origo to refer to temporal relations in discourse, the adverbial priekin is more suitable. The strategy of text-internal origo is chosen under the following conditions: a) the time of the story is the past; b) the story consists of at least two events. Nevertheless, the choice of conceptualising space and time depends on the conceptual capabilities of a specific speaker and his/her encyclopaedic knowledge.Since examples of the temporal use of the adverbial priekin have been detected in other subdialects apart from Lithuanian ones such as Slavic (Russian and Byelorussian) and in some Romance languages (French and Italian), it can be assumed that such realisation of temporal scenes in discourse could typologically be a common feature of these languages.

Trends in urban storm water quality in Tallinn and influences from stormflow and baseflow
Authors: Maharjan Bharat , Pachel Karin , Loigu Enn
Published: April 2016

Temporal trends provide a good interpretation of change in stormwater quality over time. This study aimed to analyse trends and influences due to stormflow and baseflow. Grab samples of 18-19 years from 1995 to 2014 recorded at outlets of 7 Tallinn watersheds were analysed for monotonic trend through seasonal Mann Kendall test for long-term, short-term, baseflow and stormflow. Statistically significant downward trends (P-value (p) < 0.05) were found for 6 – hydrocarbon (HC), 1 – suspended solids (SS), 3 – biological oxygen demand (BOD), 4 – total nitrogen (TN) and 2 – total phosphorus (TP) out of 7 sampling outlets over the last 10 years. Less significant decreasing trends (p > 0.05 and < 0.2) for 3 – SS, 1 – BOD, 1 – TN and 1 – TP were identified. Statistically significant long-term upward trends of pH were re-vealed in 5 basins, which reduced to 2 with 5 less significant upward trends over the 10 year period, indicating improve-ments in pH reduction. Härjapea has the highest pH without trend but it includes an upward trend of TN at p = 0.051. The highly possible causes for downward trends are street sweeping, sewer network improvement, decline in sub-urban agri-cultural areas, etc. The upward trend results of pH are related to increased alkalinisation due to acidic rain, weathering of carbonate rocks, sewage discharge and alkaline road dust. In most of the basins, stormflow has more influence on trends than baseflow.

Published: April 2016

Objective: to describe and evaluate the acceptance of a low-cost chest tube insertion porcine model in a medical education project in the southwest of Paraná, Brazil. Methods: we developed a low-cost and low technology porcine model for teaching chest tube insertion and used it in a teaching project. Medical trainees - students and residents - received theoretical instructions about the procedure and performed thoracic drainage in this porcine model. After performing the procedure, the participants filled a feedback questionnaire about the proposed experimental model. This study presents the model and analyzes the questionnaire responses. Results: seventy-nine medical trainees used and evaluated the model. The anatomical correlation between the porcine model and human anatomy was considered high and averaged 8.1±1.0 among trainees. All study participants approved the low-cost porcine model for chest tube insertion. Conclusion: the presented low-cost porcine model for chest tube insertion training was feasible and had good acceptability among trainees. This model has potential use as a teaching tool in medical education.

Rediscovering hermaphroditism in Grammatidae with the description of the testicular gland in Brazilian Basslet Gramma brasiliensis
Authors: Leite J. R. , Freitas M. O. , Sanches E. G. , Gomes M. L. M. , Hostim-Silva M. , Cole K. S.
Published: April 2016

Abstract Many aspects of sex change in reef fishes have been studied, including behavior and social organization. However, gonad histology remains the most robust way to identify sexual patterns in fishes. Some uncommon tissues remain poorly described, such as the accessory gonadal structures found in species from the Gobiidae family, which are rare in other bony fishes. This is the first report of the testicular gland in Gramma brasiliensis and for the Grammatidae family. Between April 2011 and February 2012 eighty specimens were collected during four dive campaigns on the Taipus de Fora reef (13°56’20”S 38°55’32”W), Bahia, Northeast Brazil, and their sex was determined. Thirteen per cent of the active-females and 90% of the active-males had testicular gland tissue in their ovotestis. This discovery led to additional research into the characteristics of the gland tissue and its relationship with gonadal maturation. Three patterns of testicular gland development were found in Brazilian basslet ovotestis. Both ova and sperm-producing gonad contained testicular gland tissue, and the appearance of this tissue seems to be the first modification of ovotestis tissue marking the beginning of the protogynous sex-change process in G. brasiliensis.

Published: April 2016

Abstract Among the natural enemies of insect pests in rice fields, parasitoids are especially notable. To better understand the space-time dynamics of these insects, the objectives of this study were to describe and compare groups of parasitoids in organic irrigated rice fields using two management approaches for levee vegetation, and to relate them to the phenological stages of rice cultivation (the seedling, vegetative, and reproductive stages). The samples were taken in a plantation located in Viamão, RS, Brazil. The total area of 18 ha was divided into two parts: a no-cut (NC) subarea in which the wild vegetation of the levees was maintained, and a cut (C) subarea in which the levee vegetation was cut monthly. In each subarea, four Malaise traps considered as pseudo-replicas were installed and remained in the field for 24 hours at each sampling location. Collections occurred twice a month from the beginning of cultivation (October 2012) until harvest (March 2013). A total of 3,184 Hymenoptera parasitoids were collected: 2,038 individuals in the NC subarea and 1,146 in the C subarea. We identified 458 morphospecies distributed in 24 families. Mymaridae was the most abundant and Eulophidae was the richest in both subareas. A total of 198 morphospecies was shared between the subareas, including Platygastridae, Eulophidae, and Mymaridae, which were the families with the highest number of shared species. The richness and abundance of parasitoids varied according to their phenological developmental stages, with peak abundance registering during the vegetative period. The Morisita index identified three groupings, indicating a similarity that was related to the three phases of rice growth and development: seedling, vegetative and post-harvest.
Structure of bird communities in eucalyptus plantations: nestedness as a pattern of species distribution
Authors: Jacoboski L. I. , Mendonça-Lima A. de , Hartz S. M.
Published: April 2016

Abstract Replacement of native habitats by tree plantations has increased dramatically in Brazil, resulting in loss of structural components for birds, such as appropriate substrates for foraging and nesting. Tree plantations can also reduce faunal richness and change the composition of bird species. This study evaluated the structure of avian communities in eucalyptus plantations of different ages and in a native forest. We classified species as habitat specialists or generalists, and assessed if the species found in eucalyptus plantations are a subset of the species that occur in the native forest. Forty-one sampling sites were evaluated, with three point counts each, in a native forest and in eucalyptus plantations of four different ages. A total of 71 bird species were identified. Species richness and abundance were higher in the native forest, reflecting the greater heterogeneity of the habitat. The composition of bird species also differed between the native forest and plantations. The species recorded in the plantations represented a subset of the species of the native forest, with a predominance of generalist species. These species are more tolerant of habitat changes and are able to use the plantations. The commercial plantations studied here can serve as a main or occasional habitat for these generalists, especially for those that are semi-dependent on edge and forest. The bird species most affected by silviculture are those that are typical of open grasslands, and those that are highly dependent on well-preserved forests.
Spatial and temporal variation of phytoplankton in a tropical eutrophic river

Published: April 2016

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the environmental factors determining of the changes in phytoplankton structure in spatial (upper, middle and lower course) and seasonal (dry and rainy period) scales in a eutrophic river (Almada River, northeastern Brazil). In the study period, total accumulated rainfall was below of the historic average, resulting in flow reduction, mainly in rainy period. High orthophosphate concentration was found at the sampling sites. Phytoplankton chlorophyll a increased from upstream to downstream. Geitlerinema splendidum (S1) and Chlamydomonas sp. (X2) were the most abundant species in the upper course and several species of diatoms (D), Euglenophyceae (W1, W2) and Chlorophyceae (X1) in the middle and lower course. The functional groups were found to be characteristic of lotic ecosystem, shallow, with low light availability, rich in organic matter and eutrophic environments. We conclude that phytoplankton community structure was sensitive to change of the river flow and nutrient availability in spatial and seasonal scale in a tropical river.
Irrigation canals in Melo creek basin (Rio Espera and Capela Nova municipalities, Minas Gerais, Brazil): habitats to Biomphalaria (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) and potential spread of schistosomiasis

Published: April 2016

Abstract This study analyzed the presence of Biomphalaria in Melo creek basin, Minas Gerais state, and its relationship to irrigation canals. Seventeen of these canals were used to determine a limnological, morphological and hydrological characterization during an annual seasonal cycle. Biomphalaria samples were sent to René Rachou Research Center/FIOCRUZ for identification and parasitological examination. Six canals were identified as breeding areas for mollusks and in one of them it was registered the coexistence of B. tenagophila (first report to this basin) and B. glabrata species. Results indicated that the low flow rate and speed of water flow were the main characteristics that contributed to this specific growth of the mollusks in the area. These hydraulic characteristics were created due to anthropogenic action through the canalization of lotic areas in Melo creek, which allowed ideal ecological conditions to Biomphalaria outbreak. The results emphasize the need of adequate handling and constant monitoring of the hydrographic basin, subject to inadequate phytosanitary conditions, aiming to prevent the occurrence and propagation of schistosomiasis.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the reaction of Arabica coffee progenies derived from Icatu to Meloidogyne paranaensis. The experiment was conducted under screenhouse conditions at Instituto Agronômico do Paraná (IAPAR) in Londrina, Paraná State, Brazil. Seedlings with three to four pairs of leaves were inoculated with 5,000 M. paranaensis eggs and second-stage juveniles (J2). Four F4 progenies of HN 87609 derived from Icatu H4782-7-925 were evaluated. C. arabica cv. Catuaí Vermelho IAC 81 and C. arabica cv. IPR 100 were susceptible and resistant checks, respectively. The experiment was conducted in a randomized blocks design with 14 replications of one plant per plot. Assessments were performed 120 days after inoculation. The number of eggs and second-stage juveniles (J2) per gram of roots (Nematodes∙g–1) and reproduction factor (RF) were evaluated. Host susceptibility index (HSI) was used to classify the resistance levels of coffees. In relation to Nematodes∙g–1, IAPAR 12232 and IAPAR 12231 progenies were not significantly different from the resistant check IPR 100. All F4 progenies of HN 87609 were classified as highly resistant by HSI and presented 100% of plants classified as highly resistant or resistant. Therefore, these progenies are homozygously resistant to Meloidogyne paranaensis.

Medicalização do corpo da mulher e criminalização do aborto no Brasil
Authors: Ferrazza Daniele de Andrade , Peres Wiliam Siqueira
Published: April 2016

Resumo O presente trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre a medicalização do corpo e a criminalização do aborto no âmbito do gerenciamento de população de caráter biopolítico. A criminalização do aborto no Brasil permitirá que mulheres pobres se submetam as precárias formas de descontinuação da gravidez e sejam brutalmente vítimas dessa opção. A “vida matável” dessas mulheres não está somente desprovida de direitos, mas da própria qualidade do humano. A descriminalização deve romper com discursos médicos morais para promover o atendimento público para mulheres que queiram optar pela prática do aborto, sem discriminação de raça, credo, etnia e classe social.

Published: April 2016

Resumo Este artigo parte de uma pesquisa de dissertação que procurou investigar as representações sociais de profissionais da psicologia que atuam em Centros de Referência de Assistência Social (CRAS) sobre os usuários deste serviço, objetiva demonstrar a existência de uma dimensão relacional entre profissionais e usuários, evidenciando assim possibilidades de transformações sociais e políticas tanto no contexto de vida dos destinatários da assistência social como também da própria psicologia inserida no Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS). Entrevistou-se 21 psicólogas que atuam em CRAS. Dentre os resultados, percebe-se a vigência ainda de um legado histórico assistencialista e o quanto as relações entre profissionais e usuários(as) podem provocar possíveis processos de mudança social e política na vida desses sujeitos. Paralelamente, é possível pensar também o quanto a inclusão dessas e de outra dimensão, a ética, podem produzir avanços para a própria psicologia, tornando-a politicamente compromissada com as necessidades dessa população.

Published: April 2016

Resumo Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar os efeitos do processo de medicalização de alunos que apresentam comportamentos que a equipe escolar considera inadequados. Participaram da pesquisa dez professores de três escolas públicas de uma cidade do Estado do Paraná. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. Os dados foram trabalhados mediante análise de conteúdo e os resultados mostraram que, na compreensão dos participantes, o aluno “medicado” consegue se concentrar mais e fazer as atividades em sala produzindo satisfatoriamente; porém questionam as consequências do processo de medicalização para a infância, uma vez que as crianças se tornam apáticas e não se relacionam mais com os colegas da maneira como se relacionavam antes. Concluímos que essa prática social da medicalização dos problemas de comportamento de alunos nas instituições escolares se torna uma prática social de controle, uma vez que com essa prática se buscam objetivos materiais ideológicos.

Resumo Reconhecendo a necessidade de pesquisas sobre movimentos sociais no campo dos Estudos Organizacionais e partindo de uma abordagem de discurso neogramsciana em resistência, indagamos: de que forma o movimento agroecológico no município de Araponga (MG) promove resistência à hegemonia do agronegócio a partir da reconstrução de diferentes aspectos da realidade social na região? O desenho metodológico inclui pesquisa bibliográfica e também pesquisa de campo, esta última realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com atores envolvidos na experiência agroecológica desenvolvida no município de Araponga. As entrevistas foram analisadas buscando estabelecer relações entre agroecologia e conhecimento agroecológico, relações sociais, autonomia em relação a mercados e sistema de valores. Os resultados apontam que o movimento agroecológico resiste ao agronegócio por meio da articulação de uma identidade contra-hegemônica desenvolvida a partir de: associação e engajamento com outros movimentos sociais e agentes não governamentais; construção de conhecimentos pelos agricultores familiares que se legitimam como interlocutores nas relações com órgãos públicos e mercados, refletindo em mudanças nas relações de poder.

Published: April 2016

Plant evapotranspiration is recognised to affect soil suction of slopes and landfill covers. Previous work has focused on evapotranspiration-induced suction by a single plant, with little attention paid to the effects of planting density. The aim of this study is to quantify any changes in tree growth and tree-induced suction during evapotranspiration and rainfall under different planting densities for non-mixed-species plantations. A tree species, Schefflera heptaphylla, which is commonly found in Asia, was planted in silty sand at spacings of 60, 120 and 180 mm, representing three different planting densities. For each case, three replicates were tested to consider tree variability. In total, the responses of suction for 297 seedlings subjected to drying and a rainfall event with a 10-year return period were measured. The test results show that reducing the tree spacing from 180 to 60 mm induced greater tree–tree competition for water, as indicated by a 364% increase in peak suction upon evapotranspiration. Such tree–tree interaction led to: (a) a 19–35% reduction in the leaf area index; (b) a 17–36% decrease in root length; and (c) an obvious decay of roots. Upon the rainfall event, the infiltration rate for vegetated soil with trees planted at a spacing of 60 mm was up to 247% higher than those for soil with a wider tree spacing, where mainly fresh roots were found. Although most suction within the root zone (i.e. top 100 mm) was lost due to increased infiltration at 60 mm spacing, suctions in deeper depths below root zone were largely preserved.

Published: April 2016

Diabetics and individuals with lab results consistent with a diagnosis of diabetes or hyperglycemia were extracted from data covering US residents who applied for life insurance between January 2007 and January 2014. Information about these applicants was matched to the Social Security Death Master File (SSDMF) and another commercially available death source file to determine vital status. Due to the inconsistencies of reporting within the death files, there were two cohorts of death cases, one including the imputed year of birth (full cohort of deaths), and the second where the date of birth was known (reduced cohort of deaths).

The study had approximately 8.5 million person-years of exposure.

Actual to expected (A/E) mortality ratios were calculated using the Society of Actuaries 2008 Valuation Basic Table (2008VBT) select table, age last birthday and the 2010 US population as expected mortality rates. With the 2008VBT as an expected basis, the overall A/E mortality ratio was 3.15 for the full cohort of deaths and 2.56 for the reduced cohort of deaths. Using the US population as the expected basis, the overall A/E mortality ratio was 0.98 for the full cohort of deaths and 0.79 for the reduced cohort. Since there was no smoking status information in this study, all expected bases were not smoker distinct.

A/E mortality ratios varied by disease treatment category and were considerably higher in individuals using insulin. A/E mortality ratios decreased with increasing age and took on a J-shaped distribution with increasing BMI (Body Mass Index). The lowest mortality ratios were observed for overweight and obese individuals. The A/E mortality ratio based on the 2008VBT decreased with the increase in applicant duration, which was defined as the time since initial life insurance application.

Cel pracy

Celem pracy było znalezienie związku między polimorfizmem rs1421085 genu FTO a występowaniem nadciśnienia tętniczego u osób z nadwagą i otyłością.

Materiał i metodyka

Badaniem objęto łącznie kolejnych 391 pacjentów z rejonu Polski południowej, którzy zgłaszali się do poradni ogólnej POZ. Badanych podzielono na 3 grupy na podstawie wartości obwodu pasa (grupa kontrolna, grupa z nadwagą, grupa z otyłością). Genotypowanie polimorfizmu FTO rs1421085 prowadzono z wykorzystaniem znakowanych fluorescencyjnie sond, używając gotowych zestawów do oznaczania polimorfizmu pojedynczego nukleotydu – TaqMan Pre-designed SNP Genotyping Assay (Applied Biosystems). Do obliczeń poszczególnych parametrów w ujęciu statystycznym zastosowano program Statistica 9.0.

Wyniki

Częstość występowania nadwagi i otyłości ocenianej na podstawie obwodu pasa wynosiła w badanej grupie 71,35% (24,04% – nadwaga, 47,31% – otyłość brzuszna). W surowicy osób z nadwagą i otyłych stwierdzono istotnie statystycznie wyższe stężenia glukozy, insuliny, wartości średniego ciśnienia tętniczego i składowych profilu lipidowego w stosunku do osób z grupy kontrolnej (p < 0,001), w której żaden z genotypów nie korelował z wyższym średnim ciśnieniem skurczowym (p ≥ 0,05). W grupach z nadwagą i otyłością osobnicy homozygotyczni względem allelu T wykazują wyższe wartości średniego ciśnienia skurczowego niż inne genotypy (p < 0,05).

Wnioski

1. Polimorfizm rs1421085 genu FTO nie wykazuje znamiennej statystycznie korelacji z występowaniem nadwagi i otyłości w populacji Polski południowej. 2. Prawdopodobieństwo wystąpienia nadciśnienia tętniczego u osoby będącej homozygotą TT w obrębie polimorfizmu rs1421085 jest znamiennie statystycznie wyższe niż w przypadku innych genotypów u osób z nadwagą lub otyłością.

Pendidikan merupakan jantung kehidupan bagi masyarakat Jepang. Sebagai negara yang miskin sumber daya alam serta rawan bencana alam, bangsa Jepang sangat menggantungkan kepada proses pendidikan dalam memberdayakan sumber daya manusianya untuk mempertahankan kelangsungan hidup bangsa serta bersaing dengan bangsa-bangsa lain di dunia dalam bidang politik, ekonomi, teknologi dan lain-lain. Dibandingkan dengan negara-negara lain terutama dari kelompok G8(kelompok Negara-negara industri maju di dunia,) Jepang mempunyai sistem pendidikan yang unik.  Kalau negara industri maju lainnya menitik beratkan dalam pengembangan intelegensi tapi Jepang lebih memberdayakan mental untuk bekerja keras, bergotong royong dan kesetia kawanan sosial, dan pantang menyerah dalam menghadapi setiap permasalahan. Pendidikan Jepang pada awalnya banyak dipengaruhi oleh Cina, namun dalam iperkembangan selanjutnya Jepang juga mengadopsi sistem pendidikan barat dengan tetap mempertahankan ruh pendidikan Jepang sendiri yakni sikap mental pantang menyerah dan menjunjung tinggi gotong royong sesama bangsa Jepang sendiri. Sekolah dasar di Jepang mengutamakan pembentukan sikap dan mental di awal-awal tahun mulai kelas satu sampai kelas tiga kemudian mulai memfokuskan pengkajian ilmu pengetahuan mulai kelas empat sekolah dasar dan seterusnya. Matematika, ilmu pengetahuan(Sain), dan teknologi merupakan aspek penting dalam kurikulum pendidikan di Jepang dalam pembentukan pola pikir yang logis, sistematis dan prosedural bagi bangsa Jepang. Mulai tahun 2002, pelajaran bahasa Inggris resmi masuk dalam kurikulum sekolah dasar di Jepang.

Untuk menghasilkan pendidikan yang baik, tentunya harus memiliki strategi dalam proses belajar mengajar (pembelajaran). Oleh karena itu penetapan strategi yang relevan merupakan suatu keharusan. Strategi pembelajaran
yang tepat akan membina peserta didik (mahasiswa) untuk berfiir mandiri, kreatif dan sekaligus adaptif terhadap berbagai situasi yang terjadi dan yang mungkin terjadi. Karena penetapan strategi yang tidak tepat akan berakibat
fatal. Sebab akan terjadi kontraproduktif dan berlawanan dengan apa yang ingin dicapai, misalnya seorang dosen mengajar agar mahasiswa menjadi kreatif, akan tetapi mengajar dengan cara-cara otoriter dan kaku. Maka dalam
hal ini yang akan mengakibatkan kefatalan terhadap mahasiwa tersebut.

Published: April 2016

The high performance computing community has traditionally focused uniquely on the reduction of execution time, though in the last years, the optimization of energy consumption has become a main issue. A reduction of energy usage without a degradation of performance requires the adoption of energy-efficient hardware platforms accompanied by the development of energy-aware algorithms and computational kernels. The solution of linear systems is a key operation for many scientific and engineering problems. Its relevance has motivated an important amount of work, and consequently, it is possible to find high performance solvers for a wide variety of hardware platforms. In this work, we aim to develop a high performance and energy-efficient linear system solver. In particular, we develop two solvers for a low-power CPU-GPU platform, the NVIDIA Jetson TK1. These solvers implement the Gauss-Huard algorithm yielding an efficient usage of the target hardware as well as an efficient memory access. The experimental evaluation shows that the novel proposal reports important savings in both time and energy-consumption when compared with the state-of-the-art solvers of the platform.

Catarse: aproximações conceituais com o ensino da arte
Authors: Leite Priscila de Souza Chisté
Published: April 2016

A catarse é considerada por muitos autores como um “efeito” ligado a um processo que leva à tomada de consciência. Que “efeito” é esse? Por quem foi sistematizado? Quais abordagens foram construídas a partir desse conceito? Qual a sua relação com a educação e com os espaços escolar e expositivo? O artigo em tela pretende refletir, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, sobre essas questões ao revisitar o conceito de catarse a partir de autores como Aristóteles, Vigotski, Jauss e, em especial, Lukács. Busca relacionar as ideias desse esteta húngaro ao campo da educação e, principalmente, ao ensino da arte.

Authors: Cuadrado Callejo Pedro
Published: April 2016

Objetivo. Revisar bibliografía sobre dependientes del alcohol sin hogar, su prevalencia, características y programas de intervención. Proponer un modelo de atención para los mismos. Resultados. Entre un 25 y un 45% de las personas sin hogar tienen un trastorno por alcohol. Son más jóvenes, de comienzo más temprano, mayor consumo y mayor duración de la dependencia y más complicaciones y comorbilidad psiquiátrica que los dependientes de alcohol con residencia. Los programas asistenciales existentes no son eficaces y más del 75% no reciben ningún tratamiento. Propuesta de intervención. Los objetivos básicos deben ser conseguir el enganche y la retención en el tratamiento y la actuación sobre necesidades básicas y alojamiento. Se van a precisar técnicas específicas, estrategias de intervención en la calle y monitorización intensiva que favorezca el acceso a los dispositivos asistenciales y el cumplimiento del tratamiento. Conclusiones. Los dependientes del alcohol sin hogar tienen unas necesidades asistenciales complejas cuyo abordaje requiere programas específicos que se deben apoyar en la coordinación y adaptación de los servicios que intervienen, la discriminación positiva de estos pacientes en los recursos de la red, la creación de equipos multidisciplinares de trabajo en la calle, recursos de alojamiento y ayudas económicas.
