Une géographie relationnelle de l’accès au foncier agricole en France
Authors: Baysse-Lainé Adrien
Published: August 2021

En France métropolitaine, l’accès au foncier est souvent présenté comme relevant désormais de simples normes juridiques nationales. L’article vise à montrer la diversité spatiale des pratiques effectives, mêlant réglementation, conventions sociales situées et relations contractuelles. La combinaison de ces dimensions en des « modes de gestion de l’accès au foncier » locaux s’explique par les rapports de pouvoir changeants entre propriétaires, exploitants, organismes de contrôle des marchés fonciers et collectivités locales. Multiscalaire, le propos s’appuie sur une enquête qualitative doctorale menée dans trois zones d’étude (Amiénois, Lyonnais, Sud-Est de l’Aveyron).
Pour une nouvelle géographie des territoires périphériques
Authors: Dumont Gérard-François
Published: August 2021

Le terme « périphérie », dont l’objet est de caractériser un type de territoires, est présent tant dans les dictionnaires généraux que dans ceux de géographie, mais selon des définitions non nécessairement semblables ou concordantes. En outre, ce vocable a conduit vers l’énoncé d’autres termes dont il sera nécessaire de clarifier la signification dans le cadre du présent article. Celui-ci montre que le caractère univoque des analyses théoriques et des études historiques ne permet pas de répondre adéquatement à la question posée. Il est donc nécessaire de considérer une approche empirique et plurielle conduisant à proposer une typologie distinguant six variétés de territoires périphériques.

Published: August 2021

Indole-3 carbinol (I3C) has shown dual effects on the promotion and progression stages of colon carcinogenesis while synbiotics (Syn) have exerted anti-carcinogenic activities in most rodent studies. This study aimed to investigate the effects of I3C given alone or together with a Syn intervention on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colon carcinogenesis. All animals were given four subcutaneous DMH injections (4×40 mg/kg bodyweight, twice a week for two weeks) and then received either basal diet (G1), basal diet containing I3C (1g/kg chow) (G2) or basal diet containing I3C+Syn (I3C + inulin 50g/kg chow + Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12®), 2.5×1010 cfu/g of basal diet), (G3) for 21 weeks. Dietary I3C (G2) significantly increased tumour volume and cell proliferation when compared to the DMH control group (G1). Syn intervention (G3) significantly reduced tumour volume and cell proliferation when compared to I3C (G2). The colon tumours found were classified into well-differentiated tubular adenomas or adenocarcinomas. Dietary I3C or I3C+Syn did not significantly affect the incidence and the multiplicity of tumours in comparison with the DMH control group. Furthermore, Syn intervention (G3) increased Gstm1 and reduced Mapk9 gene expression in colonic tumours. The findings of the present study show that the dietary I3C shows a weak promoting activity, while the combination with Syn ameliorates I3C effects.

One of the attractive and practical techniques to transform the domain integrals to equivalent boundary integrals is the dual reciprocity method (DRM). The success of DRM relies on the proper treatment of the non-homogeneous term in the governing differential equation. For this purpose, radial basis functions (RBFs) interpolations are performed to approximate the non-homogeneous term accurately. Moreover, when the interpolation points are large, the global RBFs produced dense and ill-conditioned interpolation matrix, which poses severe stability and computational issues. Fortunately, there exist interpolation functions with local support known as compactly supported radial basis functions (CSRBFs). These functions produce a sparse and well-conditioned interpolation matrix, especially for large-scale problems. Therefore, this paper aims to apply DRM based on multiquadrics (MQ) RBFs and CSRBFs for evaluation of the Poisson equation, especially for large-scale problems. Furthermore, the convergence analysis of DRM with MQ and CSRBFs is performed, along with error estimate and stability analysis. Several experiments are performed to ensure the well-conditioned, efficient, and accurate behavior of the CSRBFs compared to the MQ-RBFs, especially for large-scale interpolation points.

The accumulated data indicate that a high level of homocysteine may be a central pathogenetic factor of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In this study, we investigated the effect of hyperhomocysteinemia (HM) on protein homeostasis in the rat lungs. The level of proteins, peptides, total proteolytic activity, as well as protein-peptide composition, were evaluated. HM was induced by daily intragastric administration of DL-homocysteine thiolactone (100 mg·kg-1 of body weight) to albino non-linear male rats for 28 days. Twelve hours after the last administration, the rats were sacrificed and the lungs were harvested. Our findings showed that HM caused the disturbances in the protein homeostasis in the lungs that are manifested by a decrease in the level of proteins in the young and old animals and an increase in the level of peptides in the rats of all studied groups. We found a change in the protein composition in the lung of HM rats - a decrease in the level of proteins with a molecular weight of 50 kDa to 100 kDa simultaneously with an increase in the level of proteins with a molecular weight of less than 50 kDa. Despite the fact that the peptide profile was the same in both control animals and HM animals, the level of individual peptide fractions increased significantly in the rats with HM. Obtained data could contribute to explain, at least in part, the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of lung damage in HM.

Authors: Pathak Amit Kumar , Mallikarjuna K.
Published: August 2021

Introduction:

With various restorative materials available and continuous evolution in the field of research for better restorative materials, it is very important to find a material with maximum desirable properties for restoring a primary tooth.

Aim:

The aim of the study is to compare the compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, and shear bond strength of glass ionomer cement type II (GIC II), GIC IX, and Cention N on primary tooth.

Methods:

Cylinder of each restorative material, GIC II (GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), GIC IX (GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), and Cention N (Ivoclar, Vivadent), of dimension 6 mm diameter × 12 mm height (according to ISO 7489:1986) was prepared to check for compressive strength, and disk of dimension 6 mm diameter × 4 mm height (according to ISO 4049 and ANSI/ADA 27) was prepared to check for diametral tensile strength. Furthermore, following the ISO guidelines 29022:2013, restorative materials from various groups were mixed and placed on the flat buccal/lingual enamel of deciduous teeth bonded to the dentin surface of the tooth were used to check for shear bond strength. All the mixing of the materials and samples making were performed by a single investigator. Universal Testing Machine was used to carry out the tests. The data obtained were subjected to ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey's test. Intergroup comparison was done with Mann–Whitney test.

Results:

The compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, and shear bond strength of Cention N (Ivoclar) were significantly higher than GIC II and GIC IX (P = 0.00). Between GIC II and GIC IX, there was statistically significant difference (P = 0.00) in terms of diametral tensile strength and shear bond strength, but no significant difference was seen in terms of compressive strength (P = 0.08).

Conclusion:

Cention N (Ivoclar) presented with high mechanical strength and can be a good alternative to GIC II and GIC IX for restoration of deciduous teeth.
One-year Outcome of Treating Bifurcation Coronary Artery Disease with Newer Generation Drug-Eluting Stents
Authors: Kumar Danny , Mishra Sundeep
Published: August 2021

Objectives:

Bifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) remain a challenging subset with tussle between provisional versus dedicated (i.e. two-stent) stenting. Besides technical issues, many other factors such as cost, operator skill, and availability of surgery affect the practice which is followed in a particular region. Because of paucity of data in Indian settings, as also information with later generation stents; this study was planned.

Methodology:

Patients with bifurcation lesion undergoing elective PCI during 1-year period were prospectively enrolled. Decision of strategy (provisional or dedicated two-stent) and drug-eluting stent type (second or third generation) were operator's choice. Patients were followed telephonically and/or clinically (on routine visits) for 1-year postprocedure for any major adverse cardiac event.

Results:

One hundred and seven cases (28 in dedicated and 79 in provisional group) with a mean age of 56.2 ± 10.2 years were enrolled. All cases of dedicated arm were true bifurcation compared to 63.2% in provisional group (P < 0.001). In dedicated arm, 75% of patients had stenosis ≥5 mm in side branch (SB), in provisional group, 74.7% had <5 mm stenosis in SB (P < 0.001). T-TAP was most common strategy followed by DK crush and final kissing inflation was done in 96.4% cases of dedicated arm. Nearly 84.1% of patients could be followed up till the end of year. In hospital, events were few in either arm, one patient in the dedicated arm developed acute stent thrombosis and three patients in provisional arm developed in-hospital myocardial infarction. One-year major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) was not significantly different (9.5% provisional vs. 7.4% dedicated; P = 0.65).

Conclusions:

One-year MACE did not differ in either 1 or 2-stent strategy in suitable patients with bifurcation lesions.

Authors: Iragavarapu Tammiraju , Sunkarapalli Gautham , Vutukuru Sushma , Kataria Aniket V
Published: August 2021

Background:

History taking and physical examination have been rendered as the most valuable, cost effective reliable skills taught during medical education which reward the clinicians, the satisfaction of making a diagnosis, while building a natural bond of human touch with the patient.

Aims and Objectives:

A proper and judicious choice of investigations guided by logical reasoning which was made after integrating the history and physical exam is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate management.

Materials and Methods:

We report a series of 11 cases which were mismanaged in the early stages due to lack of proper history and physical examination.

Results:

Though these cases appear to be simple, they highlight the proper methodical and systematic way of approach to the patient care which helps in preventing unnecessary investigations and improper management.

Conclusions:

Excessive worshipping of newer diagnostic modalities will lead to a more “computer oriented” approach rather than a patient centered one.
Preoperative Radiotherapy and Total Neoadjuvant Therapy in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Management
Authors: Nath Jyotiman , Sarma Gautam
Published: August 2021

The treatment outcomes of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) have significantly improved in the last few decades due to the continuous evolution of multimodality management. However, the distant failure remains a concern leading to more cancer-related deaths. Conventionally, preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by total mesolectal excision and adjuvant chemotherapy is the standard of care for LARC patients. However, noncompliance to adjuvant chemotherapy due to various factors leads to more distant failure rates. As an alternative to this, multiple approaches of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) were investigated over time, and multiple reports have shown promising results. This review highlights the evolution of the multimodality management approach to LARC patients, emphasising preoperative radiotherapy and TNT.

Rotational Vibration Test Apparatus for Laser Vibrometer Verification
Authors: Gehringer Mark
Published: August 2021

Prior to making rotational vibration measurements with a laser vibrometer, it is good practice to establish that the instrument is operating properly. This can be accomplished by comparative measurement of a rotational vibration source with known amplitude and frequency. This paper describes the design and development of a rotational vibration apparatus with known amplitude and frequency to be used as a reference for comparison to concurrent and co-located measurements made by a rotational laser vibrometer (RLV). The comparative measurements acquired with the apparatus are helpful to verify proper laser vibrometer operation in between regular calibration intervals, and/or whenever the functionality of the vibrometer is suspect. In the subject apparatus, a Cardan shaft with variable input speed and angle is used to provide output torsional vibration with variable frequency and amplitude. Previously derived equations of motion for Cardan joints are used to estimate operating amplitude versus speed relationship for the apparatus. To provide an independent rotational vibration measurement for comparison to the laser, a ferromagnetic toothed wheel and magnetic pickup are used. The design of the Cardan shaft and adjustable support table are described, followed by the design of the variable speed electric drive system and controller. For the finished apparatus, example operating data from the reference sensor are compared to laser vibrometer data, and to the theoretical prediction of output torsional velocity from the Cardan joint equations of motion. Finally, suggestions for future work are provided. The development and verification of rotational tuned vibration absorbers is provided as a potential additional application of the apparatus.
Liquid Applied Sound Damping for High Frequency Vibrations
Authors: Robertson Ian , Padaon Matthew , Thota Manoj
Published: August 2021

The automotive industry is rapidly changing as electric vehicles (EVs) have gained share in the market, bringing new challenges to ensure passenger comfort through noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) management. Automotive acoustics engineers employ a variety of materials to reduce NVH across the audible frequency spectrum. In general, these materials have been tailored to address vibrations related to internal combustion engines (ICE). For example, liquid applied sound damping (LASD) coatings are widely employed to reduce structural vibrations due to their ease of application and light weight. LASD coatings are typically applied to the vehicle body to reduce structural vibrations at frequencies <1000 Hz, since ICE vehicles tend to exhibit vibrational modes primarily at these frequencies. However, EVs are known to also excite higher frequency vibrational modes up to 3000 Hz. Additionally, the lack of masking noise from the engine may lead these noises to be more noticeable to the passengers than in previous vehicles. Consequently, it is anticipated that damping materials and their specifications may need to be adjusted to better mitigate these high frequency vibrations. Herein, we will examine the effects of LASD design on damping up to 3200 Hz, including formulation, polymer/filler interactions, and coating thickness. These results will guide design of next-generation LASD materials.

Authors: Yakubu D.H. , Akpoko J.G. , Akinola M.O. , Abdulsalam Z.
Published: August 2021

Rice farming is highly dependent on environmental factors such as rainfall and temperature. Rice yield is affected by changes in these climatic elements. Rice farmers’ perceptions of the changes in climate are important determinants of the management practices they use in reducing the effects on rice production. This study assessed the perceived effects of climate change on rice production among farmers. A multistage sampling procedure was used to obtain a sample of 522 farmers. Data were obtained with the aid of structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that majority (94%) of the respondents were males. They were married (88%) and had farming as a major occupation (89%). They perceived that climate change was posing risks to rice production (X = 2.16), would lower rice production (X = 2.07) and would continue to affect storage of rice (X = 2.01). The study determined a significant relationship (p<0.01) between farmers’ perceived effects of climate change and rice yield. It was concluded that positive perception can lead to high adoption of climate change adaptation practices. The climate change knowledge-base of the farmers needs to be improved through more sensitization on climate smart agriculture.
Binary patterns in the Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence
Authors: Almeida Jorge , Klíma Ondřej
Published: August 2021

We show that, with the exception of the words $a^2ba^2$ and $b^2ab^2$, all
(finite or infinite) binary patterns in the Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence can
actually be found in that sequence as segments (up to exchange of letters in
the infinite case). This result was previously attributed to unpublished work
by D. Guaiana and may also be derived from publications of A. Shur only
available in Russian. We also identify the (finitely many) finite binary
patterns that appear non trivially, in the sense that they are obtained by
applying an endomorphism that does not map the set of all segments of the
sequence into itself.
Torus actions, Morse homology, and the Hilbert scheme of points on affine space
Authors: Totaro Burt
Published: August 2021

We formulate a conjecture on actions of the multiplicative group in motivic homotopy theory. In short, if the multiplicative group G_m acts on a quasi-projective scheme U such that U is attracted as t approaches 0 in G_m to a closed subset Y in U, then the inclusion from Y to U should be an A^1-homotopy equivalence. We prove several partial results. In particular, over the complex numbers, the inclusion is a homotopy equivalence on complex points. The proofs use an analog of Morse theory for singular varieties. Application: the Hilbert scheme of points on affine n-space is homotopy equivalent to the subspace consisting of schemes supported at the origin.

L'adresse de référence, la citoyenneté des invisibles
Authors: Pierre Adèle

In Belgium, registration in the Population Register is a prerequisite for access to social rights, as well as an indicator of integration and social recognition. For homeless people, an administrative system has been set up: the reference address. Among other things, this allows the person to be registered in the population register and to obtain a legal and administrative existence. However, today, its application differs from one social welfare organization (called CPAS) to another, the controls being most of the time driven by the fight against social fraud, itself defined by a specific policy of each CPAS.

En Belgique, la domiciliation et l’inscription au Registre de la population constituent un préalable à l’accès aux droits sociaux, ainsi qu’un indicateur d’intégration et de reconnaissance sociale. Pour les personnes sans‑domicile, un dispositif administratif a été mis en place : l’adresse de référence. Celui‑ci permet, entre autres, de disposer d’une inscription au registre de la population et pour la personne d’obtenir une existence de droit et administrative. Pourtant, aujourd’hui, son application diffère d’un organisme d’aide sociale (appelés CPAS) à un autre, les contrôles étant la plupart du temps motivés par la lutte contre la fraude sociale, elle‑même définie par une politique propre à chaque CPAS.

Published: August 2021

In the field of science and engineering, partial differential equations play an important role in the process of transforming physical phenomena into mathematical models. Therefore, it is very important to get a numerical solution with high accuracy. In solving linear partial differential equations, meshless solution is a very important method. Based on this, we propose the numerical solution analysis and comparison of meshless partial differential equations (PDEs). It is found that the interaction between the numerical solutions of gridless PDEs is better, and the absolute error and relative error are lower, which proves the superiority of the numerical solutions of gridless PDEs

Published: August 2021

In the process of traditional methods, the error rate of external boundary value problem is always at a high level, which seriously affects the subsequent calculation and cannot meet the requirements of current Volterra products. To solve this problem, Volterra's preprocessing method for the external boundary value problem of Integro differential equations is studied in this paper. The Sinc function is used to deal with the external value problem of Volterra Integro differential equation, which reduces the error of the external value problem and reduces the error of the external value problem. In order to prove the existence of the solution of the differential equation, when the existence of the solution can be proved, the differential equation is transformed into a Volterra integral equation, the Taylor expansion equation is used, the symplectic function is used to deal with the external value problem of homogeneous boundary conditions, and the uniform effective numerical solution of the external value problem of the equation is obtained by homogeneous transformation according to the non-homogeneous boundary conditions.

Hence our interest in the outcomes and their fundamentalist rules and contemporary financial applications. As for the study’s goal, it is to employ our Islamic fundamental, intentional, jurisprudential and intellectual knowledge in a jurisprudential adaptation of the most prominent contemporary transactions. Therefore, the research problem is: What is the role of the rules of fate in the jurisprudential view of contemporary transactions. The research method is inductive, analytical, and deductive method. By extrapolating the legal texts established to consider the outcomes and then analyzing those texts to derive appropriate provisions for contemporary financial transactions. The most prominent results: First: that Islam prepared man to consider the fates and freed him from the obstacles of superstition, pessimism, volatility, and astrology. Second: The rules of fate aim to consider the legal rulings related to the true tomorrow and the possible actions of the taxpayers based on the past, understanding the reality and anticipating the future according to the possible capacity. Third: The Holy Qur’an was concerned with the cosmic and social norms as harbingers of the fates and the meanings of their perception, as it was concerned with time in all its parts, past, present and future, so that the Muslim would be on the basis of his order in his movement, his residence, its causes, and its consequences.

Longitudinal Assessment of Emotional Intelligence in Doctor of Physical Therapy Students
Authors: Lewis Erika
Published: August 2021

Emotional intelligence has been shown to predict clinical performance in other medical fields and may be a predictor for clinical performance in physical therapy students. Longitudinal assessment of emotional intelligence of Doctor of Physical Therapy students was obtained yearly (three times) beginning in the first year. In addition, the relationship between emotional intelligence and performance on the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) and clinical performance (using the Clinical Performance Instrument (CPI)) was examined. Participants. Graduate physical therapy students (n = 260; 218 women and 42 men) between the ages of 20 and 35 from four schools participated. Methods. Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEITTM version 2.0) scores, Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores, pre-requisite and professional grade point averages (GPAs), NPTE scores, CPI scores (Version 4), and demographic information were collected. Results. Correlation between emotional intelligence and CPI (at either assessment period) was r < 0.37 and emotional intelligence and the NPTE was r = 0.25. Correlation between the various GPA scores and CPI scores was r < 0.13. Likewise, CPI scores or NPTE scores could not be predicted using regression analyses with any combination of emotional intelligence scores, GPA scores, and GRE scores. Higher total emotional intelligence was observed in those who passed the NPTE (103.3) versus those who failed (97.7) the examination (p = 0.05). No differences in total emotional intelligence or any of the subscales were observed over time.Discussion and Conclusion. Emotional intelligence may be a factor in passing the NPTE but had little predictive ability in assessing NPTE or CPI performance. Moreover, GPA and GRE scores also failed to predict CPI or NPTE, indicating a predictive instrument of clinical performance is still needed.
Up The Down Staircase: COVID-19 Paves way for Modern Authoritarianism
Authors: Mohan Nikita , Hooda Sanjana
Published: August 2021

The global pandemic has shaken the foundational notions that characterize modern society. A host of rights that dignify our life have had to be sacrificed, with the new ‘normal’ arguably resembling a life reduced to mere existence. Moving into the post-COVID world, we must critically appraise our condition. This essay attempts perspectives on some of the political implications of COVID-19. Through a consideration of ancient philosophies of the likes of Plato and Aristotle, the justification for the institution of the State and why humankind resorts to it, especially in times of crises, has been established. Further consideration of the State’s responses to past global crises, of the Spanish Flu and the Influenza Pandemic, help one understand how such an institution often rules out political concerns and motivations, as opposed to serving the ‘common good’. This is followed by a discussion of the advent of contemporary authoritarianism in the post-COVID world and on the ideology of populism. The concluding part of this essay deliberates on the political landscape of the post-COVID world. While the authors are in no position to conclusively lay down what the post-COVID world will bring forth, they encourage viewing the pandemic as an opportunity to re-evaluate our political choices and rediscovering the power of mutual aid and solidarity as we refuse to return to ‘normal’, rather than treating COVID-19 as an irreversible setback for political rights and emancipation. Humankind must thus climb up the down staircase in approaching the post-COVID world.

This paper attempts to explain the application of speech act theory (John Searle, 1976) on the soliloquies expressed by Hamlet and Keshulal Singh. The descriptive focus of this study is to draw attention to the felicity conditions whether they are being fulfilled by the speakers while making an utterance or not. Content analysis based on speech act theory is used for this paper. It has been pointed out that declaratives are less while directives are more applicable on these soliloquies, with the help of analysis. Hamlet and Keshulal’s inner self is being depicted through their speeches and it is analyzed that they are so much upset and are in the situation of to be or not to be that they do not know what should be their strategies, in taking their revenge. In actuality, they are trying to extinguish the storm which is bursting inside them through their soliloquies but by comparing the inner devastation of both characters. It is highlighted that Hamlet’s soliloquies are more self-explanatory than that of Keshulal because Hamlet makes vows, questions, deplores, and challenges the circumstances more than the Keshulal.

Irrigation is a major activity in arid and semi-arid regions for many crops, including orchards. The deficit irrigation is an alternative in the context of global warming. The crop studied was apricot, 'Orizont' cultivar, 16 years old, grafted on the 'Constanta 14' rootstock. The planting distance was 4 m between the rows and 5 m between trees in the row. Fruit size and weight are important qualities and yield traits in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), but the factors that influence fruit size and weight remain to be explored. The fruit biometrical characteristics was influenced by the irrigation regime, with the irrigated treatment with 100% AHI (T1) showing significantly (P <5%) higher differences versus T2 and T3. As with fruit biometrical characteristics, the fruit weight determined on the fruits of the studied treatments had the same trend. In this study, we investigated the impact of stress hydric on fruit size and weight at 'Orizont' apricot cultivar in 2019-2020 period.

Authors: Nunes Geilson , Clemente Laura Araújo
Published: August 2021

O presente estudo teve como objetivo pesquisar sobre o amparo que o material genético vivo necessita do ordenamento jurídico frente às inovações que a Biotecnologia traz, buscando demonstrar as singularidades das novas descobertas nos seres humanos ao se falar de herança genética, seus pontos positivos e negativos, qual a postura esperada do Estado no tocante a este assunto e a grande problematização que gira ao redor da falta de normatização do tema por parte do Poder Judiciário. Inicialmente, buscou-se analisar e procurar conceituar com a maior exatidão possível o que é bem jurídico e quais deles merecem proteção penal do Estado, passando-se em seguida a explorar as consequências e os desafios jurídicos que a Biotecnologia apresenta. Por fim, cuidou de demonstrar que as inovações biotecnológicas experimentadas em ser humano devem ter um cuidado especial do Estado quando se criarem normas. O método utilizado na pesquisa foi o dedutivo, valendo-se de referencial teórico doutrinário, constitucional e legal.

Os medicamentos são essenciais para prevenir, curar doenças, aliviar sintomas e melhorar a qualidade de vida. Todavia, um tratamento inadequado pode afetar o cognitivo funcional e, comprometer a efetividade da farmacoterapia. Diante disso, este trabalho objetivou analisar os métodos de partição de comprimidos de Losartana Potássica de 50mg, que necessitem de ajustes de dose durante o tratamento. Trata-se de um estudo quali-quantitativo acerca da partição de comprimidos com faca e cortador, analisando aspecto como as características organolépticas, o peso médio e teor de princípio ativo para três laboratórios diferentes. Observamos que, dos 60 comprimidos analisados, o peso médio foi aceitável apenas para os comprimidos inteiros, já para os partidos os resultados não foram ideais, visto que algumas partes ficaram maiores, outras esfarelaram. O mesmo ocorreu com a variável do princípio ativo, onde as partes tiveram variância significativa, ficando entre 60 e 70% apenas, não alcançando, portanto, a quantidade exigida pela Farmacopeia para um tratamento efetivo. Conclui-se, assim, que a partição não é um método totalmente confiável para um tratamento eficaz, podendo causar uma sub ou superdosagem e consequentemente ocasionar riscos à saúde.
