Published: December 2018

This study addresses the need to find preemergence herbicides for the direct sowing of seeds of forest species dedicated to the establishment of energy plantations. Twelve different preemergence herbicides were evaluated on the direct sowing of two forest species with great potential for biomass production for bioenergy. One of the limiting aspects of the plantations energy is the high cost of establishment by concept of acquisition of plants, so we looked for the best options for direct sowing of pregerminated seeds of Gmelina arborea (Melina) and Gliricidia sepium (Black Madero), and offer an alternative in lowering costs. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse (ITCR, Cartago), for 10 weeks, analyzing each species separately. A randomized complete block experimental design was used. The seeds were subjected to the best pre germination treatment and sown in pots, they were immediately atomized by the different pre-emergent herbicides following the protocol described in the methodology. At the end of the experiment it was determined that pre-emergent herbicides with the active ingredient of Linuron and Oxyfluorfen can be used in the direct sowing of Melina, as they did not cause damage to plant yields, in addition to obtaining most of the parameters with statistically superior results. In the case of black Madero the pre-emergent Linuron obtained the best results, concluding that it can be useful for use in direct sowing. The pre-emergent herbicide with the active ingredient of Pendimethalin obtained the lowest yield results in almost all the parameters analyzed; For both species it produced the total death of the weeds before week 7.

El estudio y prueba de distintas especies arbóreas con fines de generación de biomasa como fuente energética en Honduras es primordial para el desarrollo de una matriz energética mixta que genere en menor dependencia a los combustibles fósiles y gas natural importados. Por lo que el objetivo del presente estudio consistió en evaluar la acumulación de biomasa por crecimiento diamétrico y altura y el poder calorimétrico de Leucaena macrophylla. Para lo cual se estableció con tres espaciamientos que fueron 1,0 x 1,0 m, 1,5 x 1,5 m y 2,0 x 2,0 m; cada espaciamiento se sembró en 3,56 ha y en cada una se establecieron 8 parcelas permanentes que se evaluaron a los 12, 18 y 24 meses, cosechando árboles en cada medición para estimación del poder calórico. Los resultados indicaron que a los 12 meses de edad no se identificaron diferencias entre los tres espaciamientos, teniendo un diámetro promedio de 3,7 cm, altura de 3,4 m y biomasa de 4,1 ton/ha de biomasa seca; sin embargo, a los 18 y 24 meses el espaciamiento de 1,0 x 1,0 m presentó menores datos de crecimiento y acumulación de biomasa eso debido a la alta competencia de los individuos que estanco el crecimiento, mientras los otros dos espaciamientos no mostraron diferencias entre sí. En caso de las propiedades físicas y calorimétricas, no se encontró diferencias en la densidad verde, seca y anhidra de los tres espaciamientos en los tres periodos estudiados, con las otras variables analizadas a los 12 meses no se encontraron diferencias entre los espaciamientos, es posterior a los 18 meses en el que el espaciamiento de 1,5 x 1,5 m presentó los contenidos de humedad de madera menor, mayor poder calórico en condición verde y seca (a 24 meses fueron superiores a 15 000 kJ/kg) valores considerados como óptimos para establecer la especie L. macropylla con dicho espaciamiento con fin energético.

El muestreo optimizado en inventarios forestales permite perfeccionar las tecnologías de manejo forestal sostenible. Se desarrolló una metodología para determinar la intensidad optima de muestreo en inventarios forestales continuos, ajustándolos al principio n° 08 del FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). Datos de un censo con mapeo de árboles con DAP ≥ 35 cm fueron utilizados. Un simulador de plan de corte que combina un algoritmo genético y un Sistema de Información Geográfica (GIS) fue desarrollado. Diez planes de corte fueron simulados, cinco con intensidad de 22 m3 ha-1 y cinco con 30 m3 ha-1. El área efectiva de explotación forestal fue dividida en 4 690 parcelas (100 x 100 m), en las cuales fueron asignados los árboles mapeados en el censo. En la preparación del algoritmo genético dos enfoques (A y B) fueron considerados. El enfoque A buscó maximizar el número de especies muestreadas con base en las intensidades de muestreo predefinidas 1:1 000, 1:750, 1:500, 1:250 y 1:200. El enfoque B buscó minimizar el número de parcelas permanentes para muestrear todas las especies cosechadas. No fue posible muestrear todas las especies cosechadas utilizando intensidades de muestreo pre-definidas. Para cumplir con el Principio n° 08 del FSC, la metodología determinó una intensidad óptima de muestreo de 1:180 y 1:165 para las intensidades de corte de 22 m3 ha-1 y 30 m3 ha-1 respectivamente. No hubo diferencia significativa entre el número de especies cosechadas en las diferentes intensidades de corte.

Impacto de la ingeniería forestal en el manejo de los recursos naturales en Mesoamérica
Authors: Muñoz-Acosta Freddy
Published: December 2018

Los bosques tropicales son ecosistemas que brindan a las personas una serie de servicios como agua, biodiversidad, madera, absorción de dióxido de carbono, productos no maderables, dendro-energía y también belleza escénica.Es por esto que la Ingeniería Forestal cumple un papel importante, ya que no solo promueve la conservación sino que también el desarrollo sostenible de los bosques a nivel mundial. Bajo este concepto, algunos estudios realizados en América Latina y el Caribe, como las propuestas de Reducción de emisiones por deforestación y degradación (REED+) y Legalidad Forestal en Mesoamérica, indican que es cada vez más urgente tener conocimiento científico en el área de las Ciencias Forestales para promover la conservación, uso sostenible, el comercio de los productos forestales y mejorar la gestión forestal, incluso bajo el marco de fuentes legales.En la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente y el Desarrollo de 1992, países como México, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panamá y Nicaragua suscribieron una serie de acuerdos que buscan establecer una alianza en materia ambiental y de desarrollo sostenible de los bosques que fomenten la cooperación entre los Estados y la sociedad.Bajo esta filosofía trabaja la Escuela de Ingeniería Forestal del Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica y su Revista Forestal Mesoamericana Kurú, promoviendo la divulgación de trabajos científicos como los presentados en este volumen y que son aporte de investigadores de Costa Rica, Honduras y Chile. Los cuales van enfocados al aprovechamiento de los bosques con aplicaciones energéticas, de conservación, reproducción de árboles, valuación de clones de especies maderables, productos de ingeniería y análisis de ecosistemas en situación de pre y post-incendio forestal.Sin duda, estos aportes y los futuros serán insumos importantes para que el desarrollo forestal del país y de la región tenga base sólida para dirigir esfuerzos en consolidar el aprovechamiento y conservación de los bosques de forma sostenible, que es el reto actual que tienen los profesionales en Ingeniería Forestal a nivel mundial.
Agricultural Wastes – A Promising Source for Biogas Production in Developing Countries of the Tropical and Subtropical Regions
Authors: Barz Mirko , Delivand Mitra Kami , Dinkler Konstantin
Published: December 2018

Most of the so called developing countries are located in tropical and/or sub-tropical regions whilst in contrast, most of the developed countries are in the temperate climate zones. It is expected that a huge increase in the future global energy consumption will be caused by the demand of the developing countries. Caused by the favourable climate conditions in tropical and/or sub-tropical regions the average productivity of biomass is 4 – 5 times higher than that of biomass grown in the temperate regions. Many of the developing countries today are agricultural and agro-industrial countries producing huge amounts of agricultural residues and wastes that can be used as source for energy generation. It is estimated that if only all process-based agricultural residues alone would be used, they could contribute between 25 % and 40 % of the total primary energy demand in such regions [1]. Until now, the huge amount of agricultural waste generated each year in developing countries is a headache for farmers, who are obliged to get rid of it. Open field burning and improper disposal are omnipresent in many regions and pollute the environment. Converting such waste into bioenergy such as biogas by using anaerobic digestion technologies represents an alternative treatment with a promising potential. Such treatment prevents pollution, is producing valuable and climate friendly energy and will contribute to nutrient recovery by using the digestate as fertilizer. The paper will introduce some of the most promising agricultural residues in tropical and subtropical regions which can be used as substrates or co-substrates for biogas production. Results of a research project carried out in Costa Rica will be used as a case study to show the potential of two of the major agricultural residues (pineapple and banana residues) as sources for biogas production. The opportunities and prospects for the dissemination and implementation of new and more developed technologies to improve the efficiency of the technologies will be shown.

Published: December 2018

Los incendios forestales son una de las mayores causas de degradación de ecosistemas en Chile. La temporada de incendios forestales 2016-2017 destacó por la superficie afectada, incluyendo un bosque y matorral, del tipo forestal Roble-Hualo, de alto valor de conservación. Por lo que este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto del incendio en ambas formaciones, sobre la estructura del dosel mediante la utilización de fotografías hemisféricas. Además, se cuantificó el efecto del incendio en variables químicas del suelo, diversidad y abundancia de la vegetación. Los resultados indicaron una clara degradación de la estructura del dosel del bosque y matorral, aumento en la radiación potencial sobre el piso forestal, reducción del área foliar y cobertura de los doseles sobre el suelo. Asimismo, algunas variables químicas como el pH, materia orgánica(MO%), suma de bases (Sb) y potasio disponible (Kd) aumentaron en el suelo del matorral, no así en el suelo del bosque. La regeneración post-incendio fue escaza en ambas coberturas, además se apreció una considerable pérdida de diversidad arbórea y arbustiva, afectando así la composición de la vegetación, en el bosque y en el matorral.
Seroprevalensi Bovine Cysticercosis pada Sapi Bali di Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia (SEROPREVALENCE OF BOVINE CYSTICERCOSIS AT BALI CATTLE IN WEST NUSA TENGGARA, INDONESIA)
Authors: Dharmawan Nyoman Sadra , Damriyasa I Made , Mahardika I Gede
Published: December 2018

Bovine cysticercosis is one of the animal and public health problems throughout the world. Besides this disease has a negative impact on public health, also causing economic losses for farmers due to heavy infected carcasses should be rejected. Until now the availability of data related to this parasitic disease, especially in the Nusa Tenggara region is very limited.The purpose of this study was to obtain information on the prevalence and distribution of bovine cysticercosis on bali cattle in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The study was conducted by examining of bali cattle sera obtained from the farmer by ELISA (Bio-X Diagnostics’s Cysticercosis Antigen ELISA Kit). The results of ELISA examination of 92 serum samples with cut off 0.295, shows that there are 4 positive sera (4.35%). Three positive sera are originated from Lombok and one positive sera from Sumbawa. These results indicate that Lombok Island and Sumbawa Island in West Nusa Tenggara are not free from bovine cysticercosis. Since C. bovis infection is zoonotic, studies of risk factors are necessary, as well as the availability of information about the estimated burden of disease and the economic loss of the disease. It is recommended that veterinarians be more accurate when conducting post mortum examination, especially on the cattle which comes from a positive area.
Judul Seroprevalensi Trichinellosis pada Ternak Babi di Wilayah Kabupaten Tangerang, Propinsi Banten (SEROPREVALENCE OF TRICHINELLOSIS IN PIGS IN THE TANGERANG DISTRICT PROVINCE OF BANTEN)
Authors: Setyani Evie , Satrija Fadjar , Sudarnika Etih
Published: December 2018

Trichinellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by parasitic roundworms of the nematode class Trichinella spp, which is distributed worldwide. Indonesia is one of the countries with trichinellosis cases. This study aims to determine the seroprevalence of Trichinellosis in pigs in Tangerang Village, Banten Province. The sample size is determined with 95% confidence level, the expected prevalence is 5%, and the error rate is 5%. A total of 80 sera were collected from farm (27 sera) and from the sample banks of Disease Investigation Centre Subang (DIC Subang(53 sera)). The sample collection was examined serologically by the ELISA method for the examination of anti-Trichinella antibodies. The results showed that seroprevalence of trichinellosis in this study was 1.25% (confidence interval (CI) 95%; 0,22-6,75%). This case can be a threat to human health. Pigs that show seropositive results were the pigs with traditional husbandry practices with ground  flooring and without fences. The results of the questionnaires that distributed to the farmers indicated that all farmers did not know about trichinellosis, this may affect the presence of Trichinella in pigs.

On My Bike by K. Winters
Authors: MacLeod Kirk
Published: December 2018

Winters, Kari-Lynn. On My Bike. Illustrated by Christina Leist. Tradewind Books, 2017.

Following their award-winning 2009 book, On My Bike, Winters and Leist have created a delightful, easy to read story following a young child taking a bicycle ride with their parents. The book, clearly designed to be read aloud, establishes a simple rhyming pattern which allows both narrative and sound effects to connect with the reading experience.

Much of the enjoyment of the story comes from the connected sound effects and the structure, wherein the protagonist, cleverly left both unnamed and without a defined gender, goes on a bicycle ride with one parent while the other stays behind with a younger child. The story follows the two on their bicycle ride and once they have made the end of their trip, follows them back through all of the previous story elements, allowing easier understanding and recognition for younger readers, and ending up back with both parents.

A very simple story following a relatable event for young cyclists, as well as those getting ready to begin cycling, On My Bike has a warm and welcoming style that would work great for preschoolers aged three to five.

Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship by J. Kensky & P. Downes
Authors: Borle Sean
Published: December 2018

Kensky, Jessica and Patrick Downes.  Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship. Illustrated by Scott Magoon. Candlewick Press, 2018 

There are not many children’s books published about amputation, so a new book is always welcome. Jessica Kensky became a double leg amputee as a result of injuries sustained during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Rather than writing a children’s book about amputation, she has written an autobiographical work in the form of a picture book. As a result, this is a strange mix of fiction, where readers hear the service dog’s thoughts, and strict adherence to autobiographical detail that is unnecessary in a picture book. For example, Jessica is depicted as a teenager, closer to the real age of the author, rather than as a young child, to whom young readers could more easily relate. Jessica goes through two amputations in the course of the story, reflecting the experience of the author, but this process is unusual for amputees and unnecessarily complicates the story for early readers. The text is also at a reading level that is higher than one would expect in a picture book, so younger children will need an adult to read the book with them.

However, while it has flaws, the book is a comforting and positive story that will give child amputees hope as they see Jessica learn to be active again on her prosthetic legs. Scott Magoon’s simple and realistic illustrations will help children enjoy the dog, Rescue, and his role in Jessica’s healing process. Magoon does a good job depicting the dog in many states:  readiness, happiness, resting, helping, playing and swimming.  

This book should be included in public and school library collections. It should also be included in hospital library collections, particularly those where children receive amputation care, such as pediatric cancer clinics and prosthetic clinics. It would be of interest to both children undergoing amputations and their families.

The Dog by H. Mixter
Authors: Campbell Sandy
Published: December 2018

Mixter, Helen. The Dog. Illustrated by Margarita Sada. Greystone Books, 2017. 

In The Dog, Helen Mixter has kept her text brief and simple, and allowed the images to convey the story.  It is a story about a boy who is ill and how much his quality of life is improved by the introduction of a therapy dog.  Margarita Sada’s artwork easily shows the fatigue, sadness and illness of the boy and the unconditional affection of the dog. The dog, who looks like a young golden retriever, is never given a name, perhaps to keep her more generic. She is depicted as having boundless health and energy. She even has rosy cheeks, indicating health. The colours that Sada uses are bright and natural and the pictures will attract and hold the attention of small children. Inspired by a visit to a Vancouver children’s hospice the book gently presents how effective a therapy dog can be for very sick children. 

The Dog would be a good addition to public and school libraries. It would also be an excellent addition to libraries in children’s hospitals.

Where Will I Live? by R. A. McCarney
Authors: Aitken Leslie
Published: December 2018

McCarney, Rosemary A. Where Will I Live?  Second Story Press, 2017.

In Where Will I Live, Rosemary McCarney uses 23 pages of images captured by a host of skilled photographers to convey the plight of the world’s refugee children. These images were provided by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. They depict children and their families as they flee in fear, cross hostile landscapes, live in tents and makeshift shelters, and dream of hope. In them, we sense the threat of violence, but we do not see violence itself. Neither do we see death. The lines of text with which McCarney captions the photographs are brief, pointed, sometimes sobering, always thought provoking.

     “But where will I live? Will it be down this road…beyond this hill…past this fence…across this sea?”  [pp.7-10]

McCarney  is uniquely qualified to write on the global refugee crisis. As Canada’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the Geneva office of the United Nations and its Conference on Disarmament, and Past President of Plan International, she speaks with authority on the topic. This book is evidence of her ability to convey her message to child audiences. An accomplished author, her previously published works for children include the international bestseller, Every Day is Malala Day.

The global refugee question is a grim subject; this book, however, is not grim—partly because McCarney focuses not on the miseries of the refugees’ flight, but on their hopes for the future. This she accomplishes by means of a child’s question, “Where will I live?” Looking at the images the author has arrayed, reading her words, thinking of the work to which she has dedicated her life, we may venture a guess at the answer that lies in her heart: “Our doors are open.”

Where Will I live? could be read and understood by most children in grade three. Its subject matter, however, is also completely appropriate for discussion with older students—certainly, those in grades four to six. Finally, in classes where adult students of English as a Second Language have experienced the hardships depicted in the book’s pages, it could prove very successful in prompting dialogue.

Published: December 2018

Em razão do baixo número de brasileiros com ensino superior e isso estar relacionado com o menor desenvolvimento do país, a evasão escolar se torna o epicentro de grandes problemas: retenção do crescimento tecnológico nacional, continuidade dos problemas sociais e desperdício econômico. São muitos os modelos explicativos para a evasão, no entanto cada localidade tem suas próprias peculiaridades quanto as reais causas desse evento, e por isso tais estudos, no âmbito local, são essenciais para criação de políticas públicas de enfrentamento. Diante disso, realizou-se uma pesquisa com 63 estudantes evadidos do campus Crateús da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) no intuito de analisar as causas da evasão por meio de uma análise fatorial exploratória e de uma confirmatória. Após a análise é possível confirmar os principais motivos desse evento, como a frustração pelo desempenho acadêmico, alteração da saúde mental, a falta de vontade de cursar a graduação escolhida, a falta de apoio familiar, a falta de comprometimento com a graduação etc. Portanto, é urgente a necessidade de união entre diversas instituições públicas, como instituições de ensino, de saúde e de segurança, visando enfrentar as raízes da evasão.
O modelo católico de ensino superior no Brasil
Authors: Oliveira Natália Cristina de , Campos Névio de , Skalinski Júnior Oriomar
Published: December 2018

O objetivo do presente artigo é discutir a implantação do modelo católico de formação no Ensino Superior brasileiro. Destaca-se o papel desempenhado pelo padre jesuíta Leonel Edgard Silveira Franca (1893-1948), liderança intelectual responsável pela articulação e viabilização institucional da Pontifícia Universidade Católica (PUC) do Rio de Janeiro. Ao avaliarmos sua trajetória, verifica-se que Franca, nas décadas de 1930 e 1940, foi um importante mediador entre a Igreja e o Estado, ao participar - junto ao governo de Getúlio Vargas – da luta pelo retorno do ensino religioso às escolas regulares. Utilizamos, nesta discussão, fontes localizadas no Arquivo da Província dos Jesuítas no Brasil; bem como referencial teórico sustentado nos conceitos do sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu, a fim de analisar as disputas nas quais Franca tomou parte no âmbito da institucionalização do ensino superior católico. Para tanto, discute-se como o jesuíta trabalhou junto à sua rede de sociabilidade para viabilizar a criação do Instituto Católico de Estudos Superiores, em 1932; em seguida, como essa ação foi aprimorada com a criação das Faculdades Católicas, em 1941; e, por fim, como o objetivo da militância católica foi alcançado, com a fundação da PUC, em 1948, da qual Leonel Franca se tornou reitor. A criação de uma universidade católica no país foi um marco na trajetória do padre Franca. A racionalidade jesuítica foi sua marca distintiva nos embates travados em diferentes campos do espaço social, base para a construção de alianças, de modo a concretizar conquistas no campo educacional em favor da Igreja Católica.
ANALISIS DAMPAK KEBIJAKAN FISKAL DAN MONETER TERHADAP KINERJA MAKROEKONOMI DI INDONESIA DENGAN MODEL STRUCTURAL VECTOR AUTOREGRESSION (SVAR)
Authors: Setiawan Heru
Published: December 2018

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis dampak kebijakan fiskal dan moneter di Indonesia terhadap Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB), inflasi dan tingkat suku bunga menggunakan model Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) dengan periode observasi 2001:1  sampai dengan 2017:3. Penelitian ini menggunakan metodologi Blanchard dan Perotti (2002) untuk mengidentifikasi  structural shocks dan menganalisis mekanisme transmisi dampak kebijakan fiskal dan moneter terhadap aktivitas ekonomi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan fiskal ekspansif melalui kenaikan belanja pemerintah memberikan dampak positif terhadap PDB dan memicu terjadinya kenaikan inflasi serta tingkat suku bunga. Shock pada penerimaan pajak (kebijakan fiskal kontraktif) berdampak negatif terhadap output tetapi dampak tersebut berubah positif setelah satu tahun. Shock pada tingkat suku bunga diikuti dengan menurunnya tingkat inflasi sesuai dengan kaidah Taylor Rule. Secara umum, kebijakan fiskal di Indonesia belum mampu menstimulasi output dalam jangka pendek dengan cepat dan justru memberi tekanan pada kenaikan inflasi dan tingkat suku bunga nominal.

Published: December 2018

Although, staging models gained momentum to stage define affective disorders, no attempts were made to construct mathematical staging models using clinical and biomarker data in patients with major depression and bipolar disorder.The aims of this study were to use clinical and biomarker data to construct statistically-derived staging models, which are associated with early lifetime traumata (ELTs), affective phenomenology and biomarkers.In the current study, 172 subjects participated, 105 with affective disorders (both bipolar and unipolar) and 67 controls. Staging scores were computed by extracting latent vectors (LVs) from clinical data including ELTs, recurring flare ups and suicidal behaviors, outcome data such as disabilities and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), and paraoxonase (PON)1 actvities and nitro-oxidative stress biomarkers.Recurrence of episodes and suicidal behaviors could reliably be combined into a LV with adequate composite reliability (the “recurrence LV”), which was associated with female sex, the combined effects of multiple ELTs, disabilities, HR-QoL and impairments in cognitive tests. All those factors could be combined into a reliable “ELT-staging LV” which was significantly associated with nitro-oxidative stress biomarkers. A reliable LV could be extracted from serum PON1 activities, recurrent flare ups, disabilities and HR-QoL.Our ELT-staging index scores the severity of a relevant affective dimension, shared by both major depression and bipolar disorder, namely the trajectory from ELTs, a relapsing course and suicidal behaviors to progressive disabilities. Patients were classified into three stages, namely an early stage; a relapse-regression stage; and a suicidal-regression stage. Lowered lipid-associated antioxidant defenses may be a drug target to prevent the transition from the early to the later regression stages.

Despite multiple classical outcomes arising from the quantum Rayleigh conversions of photons underlying the propagation of optical waves through dielectric media and the ensuing light-matter interactions, this quantum process has been largely ignored. Several of its outcomes are considered in this article from a physical perspective, e.g., inter-quadrature coupling of photons, phase-dependent amplification in optical directional couplers and related polarization rotation, phase-shifting of weak signals in the optically linear regime, location-dependent coupling coefficient for refractive index gratings, etc. A correct identification of these effects will enable useful design and operation of integrated photonic functional devices.
An Improved EigenAnt Algorithm That Achieves a Balance between Intensification and Diversification
Authors: Mahrueyan Mahan , Bhaya Amit
Published: December 2018

The EigenAnt algorithm has been proposed to find the shortest path between two nodes with a proof of convergence. Two novel features are noticeable in EigenAnt compared to the conventional ant colony optimization algorithms. Pheromone evaporation in the EigenAnt algorithm is done locally for the selected path and it does not use heuristic information in its selection phase. On the other hand, a simple version of ant colony optimization that also does not use heuristic information has been used for analyzing convergence, considering parameter impact analysis, in the problem of finding the shortest path for 1-node binary chain problems. In this paper, we propose to improve the EigenAnt algorithm by adding additional parameters in such a way as to be able to take advantage of the analysis developed for the simple ant colony optimization algorithm. We demonstrate through our analysis that since the Improved EigenAnt algorithm has one parameter more than ant colony optimization algorithms, tuning of convergence speed is decoupled from tuning of convergence features in the algorithm. Thus, IEigenAnt, which can be interpreted as having two uncorrelated intensification and diversification components, makes it possible to achieve a balance between intensification and diversification. In order to illustrate the advantages of this decoupling, we present experimental results for the routing network problem.

Major Depression Disorder (MDD) is accompanied by an immune response characterized by increased levels of pro-inflammatory and immune-regulatory cytokines and cytokine-induced stimulation of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). There is also some evidence that anti-inflammatory drugs may have a clinical efficacy in MDD.The aim of this study is to examine the clinical effects of an eight-week combinatorial treatment of ketoprofen (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) combined or not with sertraline, on serum levels of IDO, interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-4 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in association with changes in the Beck-Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). The study included 140 MDD patients and 40 normal controls. The pre-treatment serum levels of IDO, IFN-γ, TGF-β1 and IL-4 were significantly higher in MDD patients compared with the control group. Treatment with sertraline with or without ketoprofen significantly reduced the increased baseline production of all 4 biomarkers to levels which were similar as those of normal controls. Ketoprofen add-on had a significantly greater effect on IDO and BDI-II as compared with placebo. The reductions in IDO, IL-4 and TGF-β1 during treatment were significantly associated with those in the BDI-II.In conclusion, the clinical efficacy of both sertraline + ketoprofen may be ascribed at least in part to attenuated IDO levels and immune-inflammatory responses in MDD. Moreover, add-on treatment with ketoprofen may augment the efficacy of sertraline by attenuating IDO. However, these treatments may also significantly reduce the more beneficial properties of T helper-2 and T regulatory (Treg) immune subsets. Future research should develop immune treatments that target the immune-inflammatory response in MDD, while enhancing the compensatory immune-regulatory system (CIRS).

Man is a creature of God; This is one of the nature of human beings.
Another is that the nature of human beings is creatures whose development
is influenced by the nature and the environment. A human being is very
interesting. Therefore, he has been the target of studies since past, present,
and future. Almost all higher education institutions assess the human, and
the impact of his work on his own, community and environment. One of the
aims of man created by God is to be His vicegerent on earth. Therefore, people
should be educated from an early age even while still in his mother’s womb.
Early childhood is a group of children who are in the process of growth and
development that is unique, in the sense of having a pattern of growth and
development, intelligence, social, emotional, language and communication
in accordance with the rate of growth and development of children. The
importance of childhood and early childhood characteristics, demanding
approach to be used in learning activities that will be used in the learning
activities that focus on children. At the time of this early age, children need to be
educated as well as possible, with methods appropriate to their circumstances.
The educational methods that can be applied are such as, advice, stories, and
customs. No “bad” or ‘good’method. Because it highly depends on many factors.
The important thing taken into account teachers to set a method is knowing
the limits of goodness and weakness methods that will be used, thus allowing
it to formulate conclusions about the results/achievement of the objectives of
the decision.

Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Ankle Fractures
Authors: Rammelt Stefan , Boszczyk Andrzej
Published: December 2018

* Good-quality lateral and mortise radiographs are the standard for diagnosing ankle fractures and control of reduction.

* Preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging should be utilized generously for malleolar fractures with an unstable syndesmosis (including osseous avulsions), fractures involving the posterior malleolus, supination-adduction-type fractures with suspected medial plafond impaction, spiral fractures of the distal part of the tibial shaft, and transitional ankle fractures in adolescents.

* The strict application of the established 2-dimensional radiographic criteria described by Weber and direct visual control of syndesmotic reduction enable the surgeon to prevent most clinically relevant malreductions.

* Intraoperative 3-dimensional imaging within limitations (missing contralateral side, lower resolution) and postoperative CT scanning are useful for detecting relevant malreduction and other findings that may go unnoticed on radiographs, especially rotatory malalignment, intra-articular implants, loose bodies, and marginal joint impaction.

* Relevant malalignment should be corrected as early as possible after detection in order to avoid joint incongruity and chronic syndesmotic instability leading to posttraumatic ankle arthritis. Although the potentially deleterious consequences of malreduction in the treatment of ankle fractures are well known, few studies on postoperative CT imaging have shown a direct impact on clinical decision-making.

Published: December 2018

Construir territórios saudáveis no país, nesta atual conjuntura, parece algo fora da nossa realidade. É fato que temos problemas mais urgentes que ainda não conseguiram ser erradicados. Entretanto, desenvolver estratégias para melhorar a qualidade de vida da população e reorientar as práticas de saúde para o território é o que o movimento denominado cidades saudáveis propõe, se configurando como um novo viés para a resolução desses problemas emergenciais inerentes a saúde da população. Usando como método a pesquisa participante o presente estudo objetiva-se em mostrar como a Saúde Participante na escola pode contribuir substancialmente na construção de territórios saudáveis e no empoderamento comunitário, formulando um diagnóstico situacional de saúde diferenciado, elaborado a partir das necessidades e das demandas de saúde resultantes do estimulo do protagonismo da comunidade escolar, buscando soluções coletivas para reorganização dos serviços de saúde em escala comunitária a partir do desenvolvimento de mecanismos teórico-metodológicos de reconfiguração territorial que associam o saber popular com o conhecimento técnico-científico e consequentemente qualificam os sujeitos sociais locais para a participação social.
