Breyten Breytenbachs poëzie in Raster
Authors: Bourgeus Camille , T'Sjoen Yves
Published: October 2017

From 1969 until 1972 the South-African writer and graphic artist Breyten Breytenbach published 29 poems, prose texts and three drawings in the Dutch experimental periodical Raster (first edition: 1967). H. C. ten Berge, writer, poet and Raster's main editor, attributed Breytenbach an unusually prominentÂ position in his magazine. In the Dutch language area of the late sixties and early seventies, Breytenbach was mostly known for his political engagement within the anti-apartheid movement. Ten Berge, however, also praised his work for its formal and experimental aesthetic qualities. According to Ten Berge experiment and engagement are related to one another in a very unique way. By examining the position of Breytenbach in Raster, the paper presents a documentation of the exceptional literary relationship between Breytenbach and Ten Berge, as well as their shared interest in certain motifs in poetry, the use of a specific metaphoric language (e.g. perception of nature and body) and a common belief in the power of poetic language.
Pedagogical, Psychological And Psychotherapeutic Help In Overcoming Learning Difficulties To Facilitate Development
Authors: Zaretsky V.K. , Kholmogorova A.B.
Published: October 2017

The paper discusses theoretical foundations for organising the work and interaction of various specialists who help children with learning difficulties (teachers, counsellors, therapists). The multidimensional model of the zone of proximal development based on cultural-historical psychology and developed in the theoretical framework of the Reflection and Activity Approach is proposed to be such a basic value. We connect different types of help to various developmental dimensions and consider them as technologies to enhancing the client’s development. We elaborate on the essence of such concepts as collaboration, zone of proximal development, agency, reflection, and problem’s epicentre. We present different ways of operational use of these concepts as applied to helping children with learning difficulties. The concept of double resource that we propose is important for developing new techniques of working within the zone of proximal development; it is this basis that certain technologies of organising the client’s reflection are relying on. We provide examples of counselling children using this approach.
Applying The Conversational Analysis Strategies To Psychoanalytic Process Research. Rhythm And Blues: 152nd Session With Amalia (Part 1)
Authors: Buchholz M. , Agarkov V.A. , Kächele H.
Published: October 2017

Studies of the psychotherapeutic process using the methods of conversation analysis can make a substantial contribution to further development of psychotherapeutic practice. The case study of Amalia, particularly session 152, has been analysed many times using different methods that are briefly reviewed here. This paper is devoted to the analysis of session 152, based on the new transcription material that includes the prosodic elements of the dialogue in the analytical dyad. Our study demonstrates the following: (a) how the analyst and the patient together create a common object of conversation, i.e. psychoanalysis; (b) the use of different therapeutic tools that have not been properly covered in literature yet and may be described as ‘devices’. We define our work as a qualitative study based on the non-statistical data of the verbal production analysis whose results may be used for advancing new hypotheses.

Impact of Various Caffeine Vehicles on Mood and Cognitive, Neurological and Physiological Functions over Five Hours
Authors: Paulus Ryan , Roth Alex , Titus Lauren , Chen Renee , Bridges Michael Chad , Woodyard Shyla
Published: October 2017

Although college students’ caffeine consumption has increased over the last decade, studies have not yet determined the time frame in which caffeine exerts its effects nor the impact of the vehicle by which caffeine is consumed. Sixty college students were randomly divided into one placebo (flour) and three caffeine treatment groups: 5-Hour Energy ®, Starbucks DoubleShot ®, or caffeine powder; all dosed at 3 mg caffeine/kg of body weight.  A battery of tests was performed prior to dosing and repeated 2.5 and 5 hours post treatment. Mood was self-reported on a scale of 1-100 for happiness, alertness and focus. Cognitive function was assessed by Stroop and memory tests. Reaction time, heart rate, blood glucose, and electroencephalogram were recorded. All initial measurements across groups and group baselines vs 2.5 and 5 hour results were analyzed by ANOVA followed, when indicated, by post hoc t-tests at 95% confidence levels and only significant results are reported. All caffeine groups had elevations in mood and faster reaction times at 2.5 hours (most effects sustained for 5 hours).  The 5-Hour Energy® group rated alertness higher than other caffeine treatments, and was the only group to demonstrate decreases in alpha waves, memory improvements, and impaired glucose homeostasis. All caffeine groups had improved cognition with decreased Stroop test time and the caffeine powder and 5-Hour Energy ® groups had improved Stroop test accuracy at 2.5 hours. The 5-Hour Energy shot ® had the greatest proportion of sustained caffeine effects across test parameters.
Short-term Impacts of Prescribed Burning on the Spider Community (Order: Araneae) in a Small Ohio Grassland
Authors: Rose Sarah Jane , Goebel P. Charles
Published: October 2017

Prescribed burning is a management tool that is widely accepted for prairie management and restoration, yet little is known how burning may impact the spider community. Although it is generally thought that prescribed burning may alter the spider community composition and structure, few studies have examined these shifts in a controlled manner with both a burned grassland and a nearby unburned companion grassland.  On October 25, 2014 we conducted a prescribed burn of a grassland at the Gwynne Conservation Area, London, Ohio. Spiders were sampled using pitfall traps for four weeks pre-burn and six weeks post-burn in both the treatment grassland and adjacent unburned grassland. A total of 298 spiders were collected from sixteen families, over 60% of which were in the family Lycosidae. Overall, we found the prescribed burn did not significantly alter the abundance or diversity of spiders collected, and interestingly it appears the community composition of the unburned grassland changed more over the sample period than the burned grassland. Anecdotal observations also suggest that some spiders are capable of surviving the fire in situ. As we continue to study these communities, we will develop a better understanding of role that prescribed burning plays in regulating the structure and composition of the spider communities. Such information is important to develop process-based restoration and management practices in grassland ecosystems.
An Annotated List of the Fishes of the Western Basin of Lake Erie with Emphasis on the Bass Islands and Adjacent Tributaries
Authors: Simon Thomas P. , Boucher Charles , Altfater David , Mishne Dennis , Zimmerman Brian
Published: October 2017

Fish assemblage structure has changed dramatically in the Western Basin of Lake Erie since Trautman’s revision of the Fishes of Ohio. Fish surveys near the Bass Islands and adjacent mainland tributaries documented fish faunal distributional patterns during the last three decades. Recent collections (n=1,719 sites) from 1982-2014 indicate that 123 fish species are extant and 27 species have been extirpated from the Bass Islands and nearby tributaries draining the western basin. Extirpation of Polyodon spatula, Alosa sapidissima, Moxostoma lacurum, and Sander glacum occurred; however, A. sapidissima and members of genus Oncorhynchus were introduced and unable to naturalize. Recent collection of A. fulvescens in Schoolhouse bay near Middle Bass Island in May 2012; Umbra limi populations on Middle Bass Island and Kelley’s Island; and Lepisosteus oculatus populations along the southeastern shoreline of North Bass Island are stable in Lake Erie despite increased eutrophication. The current Western Basin fish assemblage includes 107 native, 26 nonindigenous, and 6 alien fish species. Twenty-one native species have been extirpated from Lake Erie, while 6 nonindigenous species have not naturalized and have been extirpated. Six additional species known from within the Lake Erie basin have not been collected from the Western Basin during the study period and current status is unknown. Introduced non-indigenous and alien species are responsible for increased species richness including Neogobius melanostomus, Proterorhinus semilunaris, Salmo trutta, Carassius auratus, Cyprinus carpio, Ctenopharyngodon idella and four records for Hyphthalmichthys molatrix since 1981. Brief comments on distribution, relative abundance, and status are provided for each species.
Consequences of Dam Removal on Mussel Assemblages (Unionidae) in the Cuyahoga River
Authors: Hogya Nicholas P. , Andrikanich Rachel E. , Trimbath Ryan J. , Krebs Robert A.
Published: October 2017

The primary objective of a new survey of the Cuyahoga River was to assess species richness and population abundance of various mussel species in the family Unionidae throughout the Middle Cuyahoga River and upper parts of the Lower Cuyahoga River. Historically, few records existed for this river between Lake Rockwell and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, a region in which four dams have been removed in the past 12 years. Timed visual surveys were conducted during low flow conditions and by using tactile techniques in deeper water. Throughout the survey, only 37 live animals were located across the 18 Middle Cuyahoga River sites inspected, which included only Lampsilis siliquoidea, Pyganodon grandis and the state-endangered Ligumia nasuta. No live mussels were found between the Gorge and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. That 434 shells and valves were collected, and all but two were classified as long dead, attests that mussels had been more abundant, and that at least nine of the ten species known to be present above Lake Rockwell had lived in the Middle Cuyahoga River. Remote sensing data and aerial photographs were used to characterize change in opening up the river, but benefits to water quality and stream flow subsequent to dam removal must be tempered with the apparent loss of an assemblage of mussels better adapted to lentic conditions.
CADMIUM TOXICITY INDUCED MORPHOLOGICAL ALTERATION IN INDIGENOUS FISH Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch.)
Authors: Shukla Madhulekha , Arya Sunita
Published: October 2017

The aim of present study was to determine the toxicity (LC50) of cadmium chloride in freshwater catfish Heteropneustes fossilis. Acute toxicity of cadmium on the indigenous fish H., fossilis was designed in the fish aquarium in laboratory at room temperature in Department of Zoology, DGPG College at Kanpur.

Treated fish H., fossilis induced morphological alteration against cadmium chloride toxicity. H. fossilis showed morphological alteration such as increased opercula movement, abnormal swimming, and loss of buoyancy and fading of their body colour. Control fishes were also continuously monitored and compared with the changes caused by cadmium concentration.

Heteropneustes fossilis exposed different concentration of cadmium chloride toxicity i.e. 0 ppm for 24 h, 10 ppm for 48h, 15ppm for 72h and 20 ppm for 96 h. From this present study it seems that the indigenous fish, H. fossilis is more susceptible to cadmium toxicity.

Kultury działania i podzielane sposoby organizacji konstrukcji sensu
Authors: Barbier Jean-Marie
Published: October 2017

Przedmiotem konceptu kultury działania są ramy myślenia podmiotów i werbalizacji działania. Obserwuje się różnorodność kultur działania w różnych dziedzinach, takich jak: edukacja, praca socjalna, terapia, zarządzanie, aktywność naukowa. Koncept kultury działania może być zdefiniowany jako podzielany i ewoluujący sposób organizacji procesu konstruowania sensu wokół aktywności podmiotów, w które są zaangażowane. Jest on bliski pojęciu episteme w znaczeniu nadanym przez Foucaulta oraz przyzwyczajenia mentalnego (habitude mentale) Panofskiego.
Dimension sociétale ďinterventions dans le champ de la pratique: le cas du travail social
Authors: Marynowicz-Hetka Ewa
Published: October 2017

Cet article a pour objet d’analyser les liens entre le champ de la pratique, le travail social et l’approche socio-pédagogique. Nous faisons l’hypothèse que le travail social est un type de pratiques des professionnels du social, et que l’approche socio-pédagogique pourrait remplir la fonction d’une métathéorie pour l’analyse du champ du travail social, en vue de permettre une orientation appropriée de l’agir dans ce champ et de choisir un mode d’activité. Cette perspective s’efforce de répondre aux questions complexes de la pratique, et par la suite d’encourager les acteurs à coopérer dans ce champ. Elle permet d’adopter une vision multidimensionnelle de la formation à l’activité dans un champ de la pratique. Nous considérons que l’introduction de l’approche socio-pédagogique pourrait enrichir et ordonner cette activité professionnelle en soulignant sa dimension sociétale. Dans cet article nous essayons d’analyser quelques outils de cette approche.
Kultura edukacyjna miasta: czego uczy globalny urbanizm
Authors: Mendel Maria
Published: October 2017

Życie w mieście – przebiegając we względnej bliskości fizycznej – owocuje wzajemnym wpływem, zaś towarzyszące mu stymulacje generują określoną wiedzę, orientacje, dyspozycje do zachowań, obyczajowość, rytualizacje itd. Ich współwystępowanie skutkuje odrębnością, którą można nazwać kulturą miasta. Kultura edukacyjna miasta jest jej częścią. Jako strukturę i proces można ją interesująco badać i rozwijać. W tekście przedstawiane są możliwości w tym zakresie. Przeprowadzane w nim analizy skupiają się na neoliberalnie zarządzanym mieście globalnym. Rozumiane jako Foucaultowskie urządzenie (dispositif), pozwala dostrzec strategiczne zespoły zjawisk społecznych, tworzące w związku z edukacją specyficzne urządzenia wiedzy i władzy. Wyodrębnienie kultury edukacyjnej miasta, jako kategorii, może okazać się przydatne w teoretycznym opisie i produktywne zarówno w operującej nim myśli pedagogicznej, jak i obszarze szerzej rozumianej refleksji nad współczesnym miastem, jego kulturą i problemami. Celem artykułu jest uzasadnienie takiego podejścia.
Kultura animacji jako humanistyczna pedagogia
Authors: Kubinowski Dariusz
Published: October 2017

Celem niniejszego opracowania jest próba określenia cech uniwersalnej kultury animacji w ogólności, postrzeganej jako swoista humanistyczna pedagogia w szerokim rozumieniu. Punktem wyjścia autor czyni tu cechy konstytutywne animacji kultury odnoszące się do: (1) rozumienia animacji jako ożywiania, aktywizowania, zmieniania etc.; (2) traktowania kultury własnej jednostek i wspólnot jako zasadniczego przedmiotu jej oddziaływań; (3) realizowania wszelkich działań animacyjnych w oparciu o zasady humanistycznej metodyczności; (4) przyjęcia minimum aksjologiczności jako niezbędnego warunku postrzegania animacji kultury jako idei pedagogicznej oraz (5) sprecyzowania swoistości roli społecznej animatora kultury. W tekście podejmuję próbę ich uogólnienia z myślą o rozwinięciu pedagogicznej teorii działalności animacyjnej poza jej aspekty – wyłącznie – kulturalne.
Culture rurale et mode de formation: témoignage
Authors: Puig-Calvó Pedro , Ichard Jean-Louis
Published: October 2017

Le milieu rural présente quelques caractéristiques induisant une pédagogie de formation adaptée. Parmi ces caractéristiques, on peut relever : 1) la vie de travail, la vie de famille, la vie sociale, la vie de loisirs, orientées et rythmées par les exigences de la profession ; 2) le poids faible des discussions ou des discours : seuls les faits et les actes ont de la valeur ; 3) la difficulté relative à s’exprimer et à faire connaître sa pensée ; 4) un éventuel complexe d’infériorité face au citadin ; 5) des préjugés ténus qui peuvent faire douter d’avoir le droit de se cultiver et de s’épanouir ; 6) l’idée prégnante qu’il ne faut surtout rien changer aux habitudes ; 7) une certaine méfiance face à la nouveauté et à l’inconnu ; 8) la mentalité qui oblige à faire passer l’innovation par des personnes influentes ou par des leaders ; 9) une indépendance de caractère et une autonomie d’entreprise ; 10) le poids de la transmission ; 11) et de la tradition orale par rapport à l’écrit. Certains pays ont innové pour adapter la formation à cette réalité, avec des succès incontestables. D’autres pays s’y essaient avec des succès non négligeables, car « même si la culture n’est pas la même, tous les paysans réagissent de la même façon ! » (Blois, entretiens).

O badaniach biograficznych krytycznie
Authors: Bron Agnieszka
Published: October 2017

W naukach społecznych i humanistycznych widzimy różnorodność podejść do badań biograficznych. Powstaje więc pytanie, które z tych podejść są właściwe, a które nie? Które warto stosować i dlaczego? Artykuł ten podejmuje zagadnienie badań biograficznych z punktu widzenia krytycznego, szczególnie w czasie, kiedy różnorodność podejść, koncepcji i perspektyw może sprawiać trudności nowicjuszom w stosowaniu tej metody. Wieloletnie posługiwanie się metodą biograficzną pozwala mi spojrzeć na własną działalność badawczą krytycznie i zastanawiać się, jak stosowanie metody abdukcyjnej do generowania teorii dotyczącej konstruowania i rekonstruowania tożsamości nietradycyjnych studentów w szkolnictwie wyższym w Szwecji jest możliwe i jakie są tego konsekwencje. Artykuł ten stara się pokazać początki metody biograficznej, usytuować ją w kontekście nauk społecznych, zastanowić się nad różnymi podejściami, pułapkami oraz zaletami i wadami tej metody. Równocześnie przedstawia problemy w stosowaniu metody wywiadu biograficznego, doboru próby, zagadnień etycznych oraz analizy danych, jak i konceptualizacji danych oraz tworzenia typologii na przykładzie własnych badań.
„Nienawidzę tej szkoły!” O odrzuceniu, niezrozumieniu i o tym, jak wiele zależy od człowieka
Authors: Kabzińska Iwona
Published: October 2017

Historia Krzysia, odtworzona przez Autorkę na podstawie rozmów z jej koleżanką, pokazuje sytuację „klasowego głupka”. Chłopca z podejrzeniem ADHD, u którego przez kilka lat lekarze nie potrafili postawić jednoznacznej diagnozy. Jak wielu „Innych”, Krzyś doświadczył odrzucenia przez część nauczycieli, rówieśników i ich rodziców oraz niektórych członków rodziny. Wcześnie poznał smak samotności, niezrozumienia, agresji, lęku przed szkołą, upokorzenia, bezradności. Opowieść o Krzysiu i jego szkolnych problemach pokazuje, jak różne mogą być postawy osób związanych ze szkołą wobec dziecka postrzeganego jako „Inny”. Jak wiele zależy od człowieka i jego wrażliwości, umiejętności dostrzegania problemów i chęci spieszenia z pomocą. Opowieść ta jest też punktem wyjścia do refleksji nad modelem relacji uczeń – nauczyciel w szkole masowej i alternatywami dla niego, a także nad funkcjonowaniem szkół w społeczeństwie hołdującym kulturze upokarzania, wrogości i odrzucenia.
„Otworzyło mi się wtedy okno na inny świat. Otworzyło mi to oczy na moje życie”. O wydarzeniach (punktach zwrotnych) inicjujących próby zerwania przez recydywistów z przestępczym stylem życia
Authors: Szczepanik Renata
Published: October 2017

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań biograficznych przeprowadzonych wśród recydywistów odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności. Zainteresowaniem objęto doświadczenia mężczyzn (punkty zwrotne), które stanowiły wyraźny przełom w realizowanym stylu życia w więzieniu i sposobie myślenia o swoim życiu w ogóle. Punktem wyjścia dla analiz uczyniono następujące pytania: w jaki sposób rekonstruowane są przez recydywistów doświadczenia stanowiące punkty zwrotne, które drastycznie transformują ich wizję „siebie” i ich tożsamości widziane oczami innych? Jaką rolę odgrywają w tym procesie tzw. przypadkowe okoliczności życiowe, a jaki jest udział intencjonalnie organizowanych przez personel wydarzeń w obrębie resocjalizacji instytucjonalnej? Charakterystyce poddano cztery przełomowe doświadczenia, którym towarzyszyły silne emocje oraz które uruchomiły pracę biograficzną i działania nastawione na zerwanie z przestępczym stylem życia. Są to: reorientacja układu pozycji i ról społecznych w rodzinie, miłość do kobiety, nawrócenie religijne oraz udział w terapii uzależnień.

Published: October 2017

This study identifies risk factors for grief following a mass school shooting. Participants (N= 1,013) completed online questionnaires 3–4 months (Time 1) and 1 year (Time 2) post-shootings. We tested models predicting Time 2 grief reactions, exploring direct and indirect predictive effects ofexposure variables(physical and social proximity) through hypothesized peritraumatic mediators (peritraumatic perceived threattoselforothers) while controlling forTime 1 griefandposttraumatic stress (PTS) reactions,pretrauma vulnerabilities. Findings demonstrate that closer social proximity predicted higher levels of Time 2 grief, directly and indirectly through increasing peritraumatic perceived threat to others’ safety. Physical proximity and peritraumatic threat to self did not predict Time 2 grief reactions. Implications for grief screening instruments and theory building research through identifying risk factors and causal mechanisms are discussed.
MODELING OF STAB INJURIES BY THE METHOD OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Authors: Kislov M. A.
Published: October 2017

The article discusses the use of mathematical modeling by the finite element method to predict the destruction of the flat bones, when exposed to a bladed weapon for introduction and extraction of the blade of the knife into the bone. The simulation showed that the concentration of equivalent stress on top depends on the magnitude of the applied forces, and clearly corresponds to the simulated tilt of the blade, which is fully confirmed by the data obtained in the macroscopic study of stab injuries of the flat bones.

Authors: Cubero-Alpízar Consuelo , Rojas-Valenciano Ligia Patricia
Published: October 2017

Objetivo: Describir el comportamiento de la diabetes en Costa Rica.
Materiales y métodos: La población estuvo conformada por casos incidentes de DM a nivel nacional, reportados y procesados en el departamento de
Estadística del Ministerio de Salud para un total en el periodo del 2012 al 2015 de 35, 837 personas y las proyecciones de uso de la consulta externa,
de la Caja Costarricense del Seguro Social (CCSS) en el periodo del 2012 al 2015, para un total de 1, 781, 164 consultas. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de
tipo descriptivo retrospectivo y transversal. Las variables estudiadas fueron, sexo, edad, mortalidad, egreso hospitalario, morbilidad (uso del servicio
consulta externa), incidencia. Los datos recolectados fueron anotados en una matriz de datos utilizando el paquete Excel.
Resultados: Tanto la incidencia como la mortalidad por Diabetes Mellitus mostró un aumento para el periodo en estudio. Se evidencia que conforme
aumenta la edad es mayor la cantidad de casos que se presentan. Según el sexo, hay una relación de 3 mujeres por un hombre con DM. Respecto de
la demografía, la provincia de San José presenta un mayor número de egresos. Sin embargo, se debe tomar en cuenta que en San José se concentra
la mayor cantidad de población y donde se concentra el mayor número de hospitales clase A (especializados), los cuales reciben traslados de otros
hospitales regionales de acuerdo con la condición del paciente. Por su parte, la provincia de Puntarenas presenta un aumentado de los egresos en
relación con otras provincias del país.
Conclusiones: La incidencia, así como la mortalidad por DM en Costa Rica son variables que muestran un aumento para el periodo en estudio (2012-
2015), catalogándose a esta enfermedad como una epidemia a nivel mundial, por lo que se considera un reto para los sistemas de salud debido a las
complicaciones que presenta.

Introduction: Urinary tract infections are the most frequent healthcare associated infections, being related to both high costs and morbidity. Our intention was to carry out an epidemiological characterization of hospital acquired urinary tract infections that occurred in an internal medicine department of a Portuguese hospital.Material and Methods: Retrospective cohort study (historic cohort). Data were analysed from a systematic random sample of 388 patients, representative of the 3492 admissions occurred in 2014 in that department.Results: One in four patients underwent the placement of a bladder catheter [24.7% (n = 96); 95% CI: 20% - 29%], 36.5% (95% CI: 33% - 48%) of which in the absence of clinical criteria for that procedure. The global cumulative incidence rate for nosocomial urinary tract infections was 4.6% (95% CI: 2.5% - 6.7%). Most hospital acquired urinary tract infections (61.1%) were related to bladder catheter use. We quantified 3.06 infections / 1000 patient-days and 14.5 infections / 1000 catheter-days. Catheter associated urinary tract infection occurred at an early stage of hospitalization. The vast majority of patients (66.7%) that developed a catheter associated urinary tract infection were subjected to bladder catheter placement at emergency department. Seventy one per cent of catheter associated urinary tract infection occurred in patients that were subjected to bladder catheter placement without criteria.Discussion: These results point to an excessive and inadequate use of urinary catheters, highlighting the need for judicious use taking into account the formal clinical indications. The incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infection is similar to what we found in other studies. Nevertheless we found a very high incidence density per catheter-days that may foresee a problem probably related to the absence of early withdrawal of the device, and to both bladder catheter placement and maintenance practices. A significant part of catheter associated urinary tract infection occurred in patients that had the bladder catheter placed in the emergency department, before the admission to the internal medicine ward, which highlights the need to assess the urinary catheterization practices in those departments.Conclusion: The high rate of catheter associated urinary tract infection that occurred in the absence of bladder placement indication reinforces the need to implement prevention strategies that contemplate the reduction of its use. Emergency departments should be part of quality improvement projects in this area. Causes for the early onset of catheter associated urinary tract infection in this cohort should be investigated.

As neoplasias primárias do baço constituem um grupo com baixa taxa de incidência na prática médica. Por compreender várias patologias raras com manifestações inespecíficas, o diagnóstico na grande maioria dos casos só é dado após realização de esplenectomia e análise anatomopatológica do material. Este trabalho tem como finalidade apresentar uma revisão de literatura acerca de algumas das principais neoplasias primárias do baço, benignas e malignas, discutindo os principais sintomas, diagnóstico e tratamento das mesmas.Palavras-chave: Neoplasias, Baço, Esplenectomia.

ABSTRACT

Primary spleen neoplasms are a group with a low incidence rate in medical practice. Because it comprises several rare pathologies with nonspecific manifestations, the diagnosis in the great majority of cases is only given after performing splenectomy and anatomopathological analysis of the material. This paper aims to present a literature review about some of the main benign and malignant primary neoplasms of the spleen, discussing the main symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of the same.                                       Keywords: Neoplasms. Spleen. Splenectomy.

The storage longevity of biofungicide containing Trichoderma virens and T. amazonicum to controll the whithe root diseases (WRD) in rubber plants is important to know to remain effective when applied. The composition of the multiplication medium in the T. virens dan and T. amazonicum biofungicide can affect the longevity and viability of conidia during storage. The objective of the research was to determine the effect of glycerol addition in the multiplication medium of T. virens and T. amazonicum biofungicide during storage. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Plant Protection, Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute (IIBCRI), Sukabumi, from January to July 2014. The experiment used a completely randomized design with 8 treatments and 3 replications. The biofungicidal formula consisted of: (1) glycerol addition (0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%) in the multiplication medium of T. virens and (2) glycerol addition (0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%) in the multiplication medium of T. amazonicum. Each multiplication was mixed with a carrier (talc), dried, then packed in a plastic bag and stored for 4 months. Observations were carried out each month, including: the amount of conidia, Trichoderma sp. population, and water content. The results showed that the addition of glycerol to multiplication medium was able to maintain the viability of T. virens and T. amazonicum and the storage longevity of the biofungicide. The addition of 6% to 9% glycerol in the multiplication medium of  T. virens and T. amazonicum showed the highest concentration, yielding conidia up to 7.98 x 107 – 8.59 x 107 conidia/g and population abundance of 11.67 x 103 – 14.67 x 103 cfu/g in biofungicide stored for 4 months.

Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi estimar e comparar o número necessário para tratar (NNT) entre a associação de cobimetinibe + vemurafenibe e outras opções terapêuticas no tratamento de melanoma metastático BRAFV600 mutado em primeira linha. Métodos: O NNT foi calculado como o inverso do risco absoluto de um medicamento em um ponto específico de tempo (12 meses). Os comparadores considerados foram o vemurafenibe monoterapia, dabrafenibe monoterapia, dabrafenibe + trametinibe, nivolumabe e ipilimumabe. O desfecho considerado foi a sobrevida livre de progressão (SLP), cujas curvas foram obtidas dos estudos coBRIM, BRIM-3, Robert, 2015, BREAK-3 e Checkmate 67. Resultados: Em 12 meses, os resultados de NNT foram: cobimetinibe + vemurafenibe = 1,92, vemurafenibe = 3,33; dabrafenibe = 4,67; dabrafenibe + trametinibe = 2,04; nivolumabe = 4,39 e ipilimumabe = 7,84. Conclusão: A associação de cobimetinibe e vemurafenibe no tratamento de pacientes com melanoma irressecável ou metastático, positivo para mutação BRAFV600 sem tratamento sistêmico prévio para a doença, apresenta resultados favoráveis em termos de NNT quando comparada a todas as outras opções terapêuticas disponíveis no mercado brasileiro para essa mesma indicação.

Objetivos: Propor indicadores de avaliação de aquisição de medicamentos e comparar os seus resultados econômicos. Métodos: Avaliou-se o resultado da compra de medicamentos do Hospital Estadual Américo Brasiliense (HEAB) por meio de um estudo descritivo e transversal. Para isso, foi realizada pesquisa documental dos relatórios de compra e de consumo de medicamentos por um ano. Obteve-se o número de medicamentos adquiridos em cada compra, seus preços unitários e a taxa de consumo mensal em unidades, para elaboração da curva ABC e cálculo dos indicadores de percentual econômico – percentual de economia entre o preço máximo de venda ao governo (PMVG) 18% CMED e preço médio unitário das aquisições analisadas – e razão econômica – razão entre o PMVG 18% CMED e o preço médio unitário das aquisições analisadas. Resultados: Foi calculada a eficiência da aquisição para 51/72 apresentações classificadas como A e B, segundo curva ABC. A mediana da economia total gerada calculada pelo percentual econômico foi de 41,6% (mínimo = -2008,6%, máximo = 99,3%, intervalo interquartil (IIQ 25-75%) = -15,2-54,9) e de 0,6 (mínimo = 0, máximo = 21,1, IIQ 25-75% = 0,5 – 1,2) calculada pela razão econômica. Conclusões: Observou-se que o processo de aquisição do HEAB foi eficiente, porque gerou economia. Devido à similaridade dos resultados obtidos pelos dois indicadores, consideram-se ambos elegíveis e aplicáveis para o monitoramento da economia gerada. No entanto, o indicador razão econômica seria o melhor aceito e implantável pelo serviço devido a maior facilidade de cálculo e interpretação do que o indicador percentual econômico.
Az integráció mutatói és esélykülönbségei a Magyarországon élő bevándorlók körében
Authors: Irén Gödri
Published: October 2017

A tanulmány a Magyarországon élő bevándorlók integrációs helyzetét vizsgálja a 2011-es népszámlálás adatai alapján, különös tekintettel a munkaerő-piaci integrációjukra. Külön kezeli a külföldi állampolgárokat és a külföldi születésűeket, rávilágítva ugyanakkor a különböző származási csoportok heterogenitására. A 2010-ben elfogadott zaragozai indikátorokat figyelembe véve általános áttekintést nyújt a bevándorlók integrációs helyzetéről a főbb területeken (munkaerőpiac, oktatás, egészségi állapot, lakásviszonyok). Ezt követően részletesen elemzi a munkaerő-piaci integráció alapvető mutatóit (foglalkoztatottság, munkanélküliség, túlképzettség, önfoglalkoztatás) a bevándorlók egyes társadalmi-demográfiai és származási csoportjaiban, majd többváltozós elemzéssel vizsgálja a foglalkoztatottság és a túlképzettség esélyét befolyásoló tényezőket. Fontos megállapítása, hogy a Magyarországon élő bevándorlók magasabb foglalkoztatottsága elsősorban összetételüknek és területi elhelyezkedésüknek köszönhető, ugyanakkor származási országok és érkezési idő szerinti jelentős eltérések, valamint nemek közötti esélykülönbségek is kimutathatók. A magyar állampolgárság megszerzése, a magyar nemzetiség és anyanyelv, illetve a magyar nyelv elsajátítása növeli a nők foglalkoztatottsági esélyét, és mindkét nem esetében csökkenti a túlképzettség esélyét.

The aim of this work was to assess the suitability of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for routine heterotrophic monitoring in a drinking water treatment plant. Water samples were collected from raw surface water and after different treatments during two campaigns over a 1-year period. Heterotrophic bacteria were studied and isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Moreover, the diversity index and the coefficient of population similarity were also calculated using biochemical fingerprinting of the populations studied. MALDI-TOF MS enabled us to characterize and detect changes in the bacterial community composition throughout the water treatment plant. Raw water showed a large and diverse population which was slightly modified after initial treatment steps (sand filtration and ultrafiltration). Reverse osmosis had a significant impact on the microbial diversity, while the final chlorination step produced a shift in the composition of the bacterial community. Although MALDI-TOF MS could not identify all the isolates since the available MALDI-TOF MS database does not cover all the bacterial diversity in water, this technique could be used to monitor bacterial changes in drinking water treatment plants by creating a specific protein profile database for tracking purposes.
Biofiltration field study for cold Fe(II)- and Mn(II)-rich groundwater: accelerated Mn(II) removal kinetics and cold-adapted Mn(II)-oxidizing microbial populations

Removal of Mn(II) from Fe(II)- and Mn(II)-rich groundwater in cold regions is challenging, due to slow Mn(II) removal kinetics below 15 °C. This study demonstrated onset, acclimation, and acceleration of Mn(II) removal in a two-stage pilot-scale biofilter (Fe and Mn filters) at varying low on-site temperatures (8–14.8 °C). Mn(II) removal commenced at 8 °C in the Mn filter after Fe(II) removal. A shift in redox-pH conditions favored biological Mn(II) removal and Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria increased. The Mn filter reached steady-state functioning after 97 days, exhibiting high removal efficiencies (97 ± 0.9%). Yet, first-order rate constants (k) for Mn(II) removal were low (10−6–10−5 min−1; t1/2 = ∼40 d). After consecutive backwashes and filter inoculation with backwashed sludge, k remarkably accelerated to 0.21 min−1 (t1/2 = 3.31 min at 11 ± 0.6 °C). The cold-adapted microbial consortium (51 genera), including Pseudomonas, Leptothrix, Flavobacterium, and Zoogloea, cultured from the field-aged biofilter rapidly produced biogenic Mn oxides at 8 °C, confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Birnessite and pyrolusite detected by synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction, and a repetitive birnessite-like surface morphology on ripened filter materials, reflected autocatalytic oxidation. Shifting in k indicated the vertical progress of biofilter ripening, which was not limited by low temperature.
