Obesity and type 2 diabetes: can we find a compromised treatment solution?
Authors: Galstyan Gagik R. , Shestakova Ekaterina A. , Sklyanik Igor A.
Published: October 2017

Type 2 diabetes and obesity are two enormous epidemic diseases of the 21stcentury. Because obesity is a primary risk factor for type 2 diabetes development, patients with diabetes are frequently obese. This comorbidity makes it challenging for these patients to not only compensate diabetes but also bring their weight back to normal. Several anti-diabetic drugs cause weight gain, which augments insulin resistance, and thus demands anti-diabetic treatment intensification. For the treatment, it is crucial to find an anti-diabetic treatment drug that is efficient but does not cause weight gain. In the last few decades, new anti-diabetic drugs with minimal or decrementing effects on the body weight have been introduced. New molecules appearing in the anti-obesity treatment are capable of not only reducing weight but also compensating diabetes. This study focuses on the current anti-obesity and anti-diabetic treatment and optimal combinations for treating comorbid patients.
Is Dutch Straattaal a mixed multiethnolect? A Moroccan perspective
Authors: Kossmann Maarten
Published: October 2017

Dutch Straattaal is often described as a multiethnolect that is not only used among members of several different heritage groups, but also marks new identities. In this article, the focus is on the position of Straattaal among Moroccan youth, based on data from internet exchanges. The general observation is confirmed that Surinamese elements in Straattaal are used by Moroccan youth, and mixed with etymologically Moroccan elements. However, a different picture arises when studying meta-commentary by Moroccans about Straattaal. It appears that young Moroccans construct the use of lexical items from Sranan – the most salient feature of Straattaal – as something belonging to the Black community, and not as something they identify with. Thus, while Straattaal could be considered a multiethnolect on the level of actual speech, it is ideologically kept apart, and at that level much less multiethnic than is sometimes suggested.

Published: October 2017

In this paper, we assess the developmental trajectories by which children approach adult levels of complexity and informativeness in the linguistically and conceptually challenging domain of spatial language. To this end, we look at three types of spatial relations (localization, spontaneous and caused motion) in spontaneous German child speech (age 2;6 to 2;11 and 4;6 to 4;11), and in elicited
Analysis of Operating Conditions on Osmotic Dehydration of Plums (Prunus Domestica L.) and 3D-Numerical Determination of Effective Diffusion Coefficients
Authors: Rodríguez María M. , Arballo Javier R. , Campañone Laura A. , Mascheroni Rodolfo H.
Published: October 2017

The objective of this work was to analyze the relevant process conditions on osmotic dehydration of plums and to determine the diffusion coefficients related to this process. The influence of solution (type and concentration of solute, temperature, fruit/solution ratio) and process time on water loss, water content and solutes gain were studied. Process analysis was performed experimentally by means of a set of 16 duplicate tests and numerically by mathematical modeling of the unsteady-state mass transfer phenomena. Experiments were carried out with glucose and sorbitol solutions (40–60 % w/w), dehydrating plum pieces during 2 h at temperatures of 25 and 40ºC, with fruit/solution ratios of 1/4 and 1/10. For calculating effective diffusion coefficients, a novelty inverse-method was applied, the approximate shape of food-pieces was considered using Finite Elements Method. Calculated diffusion coefficients ranged from 1.13 × 10−09 to 4.71 × 10−09 m2 s−1 and 0.44 × 10−09 to 3.46 × 10−09 m2 s−1, for water and solutes, respectively.
Review of Economic Success of Chinese Merchants in Southeast Asia: Identity, Ethnic Cooperation and Conflict. Integrating the Social Science with Evolutionary Biology
Authors: Eggertsson Thráinn
Published: October 2017

Janet Landa interprets informal economic network of traders or middlemen as an institution for lowering transaction costs in communities that have not developed reliable legal infrastructure for enforcing contracts. In economics, Landa has pioneered the study of trust in trade networks and her new book reveals the intellectual development of an original scholar over a period of thirty years. Of the 14 essays in the book, 5 have not been published before. The story begins on the ground in Singapore and West Malaysia in 1969 when a young doctoral student wonders why Chinese middlemen, belonging the Hokkien dialect group, dominate the marketing of rubber made by small-scale Malay producers. The student herself is part of the Chinese diaspora but studies at a Canadian university.
Zwei Brennpunkte im Recht der Gesellschafterdarlehen
Authors: Brinkmann Moritz
Published: October 2017

Auch neun Jahre nach Inkrafttreten des MoMiG sind zahlreiche Fragen im Recht der Gesellschafterdarlehen noch ungeklärt. Der Beitrag behandelt zunächst das Problem, inwieweit die Rückführung von Sollsalden im Rahmen eines Cash Pools anfechtbar ist. Hierzu wird die These vertreten, dass solche Rückführungen nach § 135 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 InsO anfechtbar sind, allerdings nur in Höhe der Differenz zwischen dem höchsten, nicht nur ganz kurzfristig bestehenden Sollsaldo innerhalb des letzten Jahres vor Antragstellung und dem Saldo am Tag der Verfahrenseröffnung. Für die gleichfalls sehr umstrittenen Fälle der Besicherung von Gesellschafterdarlehen wird gezeigt, dass das Bargeschäftsprivileg (§ 142 InsO) auch auf anfängliche Sicherheiten keine Anwendung findet und dass auch solche Sicherheiten kein Absonderungsrecht vermitteln, die außerhalb der Zehnjahresfrist des § 135 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 InsO bestellt wurden.
Das reformierte Recht der Gesellschafterdarlehen – eine Zwischenbilanz*
Authors: Kleindiek Detlef
Published: October 2017

Mit Wirkung zum 1. November 2008 hatte der deutsche Gesetzgeber das Recht der Gesellschafterdarlehen in haftungsbeschränkten Gesellschaftsformen grundlegend reformiert. An die Stelle des früheren „Zwei-Säulen-Modells“ mit sowohl gesellschaftsrechtlich als auch insolvenzrechtlich ausgerichteten Regelungen sind ausschließlich insolvenzrechtlich konzipierte Sondervorschriften getreten. Sie begründen den Nachrang der erfassten Gesellschafterforderungen in der Insolvenz der Gesellschaft, abgesichert durch eine Haftung aus Insolvenzanfechtung für bestimmte gläubigerbenachteiligende Handlungen innerhalb abgegrenzter Fristen. Der Beitrag analysiert – im Sinne einer Zwischenbilanz – Entwicklung und Stand der Erkenntnis auf zwei zentralen Themenfeldern: dem Normzweck des neuen Rechts und den Rechtsfolgen vorinsolvenzlicher Forderungsabtretung und Anteilsübertragung. Ergänzend werden einige weitere Grundsatzentscheidungen des Bundesgerichtshofs zum reformierten Recht der Gesellschafterdarlehen in den Blick genommen, um erste Rechtsprechungstendenzen aufzuzeigen.

With effect as of the 1st of November 2008, the German legislator has fundamentally reformed the law concerning shareholder loans in regards to limited liability companies. The former so-called “two-pillar model”, which was based on company law as well as on insolvency law regulations, has been replaced by special provisions solely regarding insolvency law. The German legislator justifies the subordination of the requirments of shareholders regarding the insolvency of the company by securing the possibility of, within a specific time period, creating a liability resulting from contesting the insolvency for certain actions that put creditors at a disadvantage. For the purposes of an interim balance, the following article analysis the development and state of knowledge on two important thematic fields: the ratio legis of the new law and the legal consequences in regards to a pre-insolvency assignment of claims and the transfer of shares. Additionally, some other fundamental decisions by the Federal Court of Justice in regards to the reformed company law based on insolvency will be looked at, in order to indicate primary jurisdiction tendencies.
Gluteus Maximus and Hamstring Activation During Selected Weight-Bearing Resistance Exercises
Authors: McCurdy Kevin , Walker John , Yuen Derrick
Published: October 2017

McCurdy, K, Walker, J, and Yuen, D. Gluteus maximus and hamstring activation during selected weight-bearing resistance exercises. J Strength Cond Res 32(3): 594–601, 2018—The purpose of this study was to compare the gluteus maximus (GM) and hamstring group (HG) electromyographic (EMG) activation levels among selected weight-bearing resistance exercises. Eighteen young adult females with previous resistance training experience completed the study. Strength was assessed on the bilateral squat (BS) (3 repetition maximum [RM]), modified single-leg squat (MSLS) (3RM), and stiff-leg deadlift (SLDL) (8RM) to determine an 8RM load for all lifts. Surface EMG was collected after 48 hours of rest using wireless Trigno IM Sensors using EMMA software (Delsys), which also collected and synchronized 3D hip and knee motion. A maximum voluntary isometric contraction was determined for the GM and HG to normalize the EMG data. During EMG data collection, 3 repetitions were completed using an 8RM load on all 3 exercises. Gluteus maximus EMG was significantly greater than HG EMG on the BS (40.3 vs. 24.4%, p < 0.001), MSLS (65.6 vs. 40.1 %, p < 0.012), and SLDL (40.5 vs. 29.9 %, p < 0.047). The MSLS produced significantly greater HG EMG (p = 0.001) compared with the SLDL, whereas the SLDL was significantly greater (p = 0.004) than the BS. The MSLS GM EMG was also significantly greater (p < 0.001) than the SLDL and BS, whereas no difference was found between the SLDL and BS. Comparing the activation of the 2 muscle groups in all exercises, the GM seems to be the primary muscle recruited whereas the MSLS seems to produce greater GM and HG activation. The data indicate that it would be most beneficial to include the MSLS during GM and HG training.

Waldman, HS, Krings, BM, Basham, SA, Smith, JW, Fountain, BJ, and McAllister, MJ. Effects of a 15-day low carbohydrate, high-fat diet in resistance-trained men. J Strength Cond Res 32(11): 3103–3111, 2018—This study examined the effects of a 15-day isocaloric low carbohydrate (<25% E), high-fat (>50% E) (LCHF) diet on physiological and metabolic alterations in resistance-trained (RT) men. College-aged RT men (n = 11) completed 4 V̇o
2max tests using treadmill every 5 days during the 15-day trial. Blood was drawn intravenously pre-exercise across each experimental trial for insulin, cortisol, and glucose. Pulmonary data were collected and substrate oxidation (OXI) was calculated during exercise. Body mass decreased (p < 0.04) with no further changes in anthropometric measures. Time to exhaustion was not affected across each day. Insulin dropped below baseline values (p < 0.0005). Cortisol increased from baseline to day 5 (p < 0.004) but returned back to near baseline at day 10, whereas glucose remained within normal range throughout the duration of the study. Carbohydrate (CHO) OXI dropped (p < 0.001) from baseline to day 5, and fat OXI increased from baseline to day 5 (p < 0.0001). Heart rate decreased from baseline to day 5 (p < 0.001) and again from day 10 to 15 (p < 0.02). Oxygen uptake (V̇o
2) decreased from day 5 to 10 (p < 0.0001). A nonketo LCHF diet appears to favor RT men by altering metabolic markers without decrements in aerobic performance and be a potential diet intervention used by coaches. However, the reported cardiorespiratory responses should be interpreted reasonably because of the possibility the subjects running economy improved over experimental trials.

García-Ramos, A, González-Hernández, JM, Baños-Pelegrín, E, Castaño-Zambudio, A, Capelo-Ramírez, F, Boullosa, D, Haff, GG, and Jiménez-Reyes, P. Mechanical and metabolic responses to traditional and cluster set configurations in the bench press exercise. J Strength Cond Res 34(3): 663–670, 2020—This study aimed to compare mechanical and metabolic responses between traditional (TR) and cluster (CL) set configurations in the bench press exercise. In a counterbalanced randomized order, 10 men were tested with the following protocols (sets × repetitions [inter-repetition rest]): TR1: 3 × 10 (0-second), TR2: 6 × 5 (0-second), CL5: 3 × 10 (5-second), CL10: 3 × 10 (10-second), and CL15: 3 × 10 (15-second). The number of repetitions (30), interset rest (5 minutes), and resistance applied (10 repetition maximum) were the same for all set configurations. Movement velocity and blood lactate concentration were used to assess the mechanical and metabolic responses, respectively. The comparison of the first and last set of the training session revealed a significant decrease in movement velocity for TR1 (Effect size [ES]: −0.92), CL10 (ES: −0.85), and CL15 (ES: −1.08) (but not for TR2 [ES: −0.38] and CL5 [ES: −0.37]); while blood lactate concentration was significantly increased for TR1 (ES: 1.11), TR2 (ES: 0.90), and CL5 (ES: 1.12) (but not for CL10 [ES: 0.03] and CL15 [ES: −0.43]). Based on velocity loss, set configurations were ranked as follows: TR1 (−39.3 ± 7.3%) > CL5 (−20.2 ± 14.7%) > CL10 (−12.9 ± 4.9%), TR2 (−10.3 ± 5.3%), and CL15 (−10.0 ± 2.3%). The set configurations were ranked as follows based on the lactate concentration: TR1 (7.9 ± 1.1 mmol·L−1) > CL5 (5.8 ± 0.9 mmol·L−1) > TR2 (4.2 ± 0.7 mmol·L−1) > CL10 (3.5 ± 0.4 mmol·L−1) and CL15 (3.4 ± 0.7 mmol·L−1). These results support the use of TR2, CL10, and CL15 for the maintenance of high mechanical outputs, while CL10 and CL15 produce less metabolic stress than TR2.

Objetivo. En este trabajo se pretendió comparar el nivel de aprendizaje alcanzado por estudiantes de grado octavo de la institución educativa (I.E.) María Cano (Medellín-Antioquia), en los temas de suma y resta de polinomios cuando este tema es abordado con el método tradicional y usando la herramienta didáctica la caja de polinomios. Métodos. Se toman cuatro grupos distintos de grado octavo y se distribuyen en dos grupos. En dos de ellos se trabaja por medio de la herramienta didáctica la caja de polinomios, fundamentando el trabajo en la teoría cognitiva propuesta por David Ausubel, denominada aprendizaje significativo, y en los otros dos aplicando metodología tradicional, que consiste en explicar-ejemplificar-ejercitar, que para efectos de este trabajo se ha denominado (EEE). Finalmente, se contrastaron los resultados cualitativa y cuantitativamente. Resultados Los promedios de notas de los grupos no varían, con respecto a los promedios históricos. La diferencia entre promedios es relativamente pequeña. Si bien las notas no presentan mejoría, la dispersión se reduce significativamente. Conclusiones. La utilización de material didáctico en las aulas de clase no garantiza que los estudiantes alcancen el objetivo de aprendizaje, pero influye positivamente en aspectos relevantes en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, tales como: organización, interés y motivación por el conocimiento, participación activa, interacción, entre otros.
Modernidade/Colonialidade sem “Imperialidade”? O Elo Perdido do Giro Decolonial
Authors: Ballestrin Luciana Maria de Aragão
Published: October 2017

RESUMO O “giro decolonial” ao adaptar o argumento pós-colonial para a América Latina, compreende que a colonialidade é a face oculta e constitutiva da modernidade. Ao constatar criticamente que o problema do imperialismo é subdesenvolvido pelos seus principais teóricos, lanço as seguintes indagações: é possível pensar na relação entre colonialidade e modernidade, sem a dinâmica da “imperialidade”? Como explicar a reprodução das novas formas de colonialismo sem a consideração das novas formas de imperialismo? Neste artigo, assim, proponho o conceito de Imperialidade como uma lacuna que impede a explicação dos mecanismos de reprodução da colonialidade. Ao entendê-la como lógica do imperialismo, constitutiva e relacional da colonialidade, observo ainda que as estratégias de descolonização devem ser muito mais dirigidas à “Imperialidade” do que à modernidade propriamente dita. A informalidade, invisibilidade e nebulosidade dos mecanismos contemporâneos de Imperialidade reproduzem o imperialismo sem império através da governança sem governo no contexto global.
Surgical care in the public health agenda

Published: October 2017

The current article examines surgical care as a public health issue and a challenge for health systems organization. When surgery fails to take place in timely fashion, treatable clinical conditions can evolve to disability and death. The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery defined indicators for monitoring sustainable universal access to surgical care. Applied to Brazil, the global indicators are satisfactory, but the supply of surgeries in the country is marked by regional and socioeconomic inequalities, as well as between the public and private healthcare sectors.

Abstract We investigated the parasites of five lizard species belonging to Phyllodactylidae (Phyllopezus pollicaris and Gymnodactylus geckoides) and Gekkonidae (Hemidactylus agrius, Lygodactylus klugei and Hemidactylus brasilianus) families in a semiarid region of Brazil. Six nematode species were identified: Parapharyngodon alvarengai and Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis (Pharyngodonidae), Physaloptera lutzi (Physalopteridae), Skrjabinelazia intermedia (Seuratidae), Trichospirura sp. (Rhabdochonidae) and Piratuba sp. (Onchocercidae), and a cestode species, Oochoristica sp. (Linstowiidae). The most prevalent species were Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis, which infected P. pollicaris (75%), and Parapharyngodon alvarengai, which infected G. geckoides (29%). South American lizards were identified as being new hosts for the Trichospirura genus (a usual parasite of mammals), and there were 16 new occurrences of parasite species in the five lizard species studied herein.
Attributable risk of Capillaria species in domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica)
Authors: Qamar M.F. , Butt A. , Ehtisham-ul-Haque S. , Zaman M.A.
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT Fecal samples were collected from 120 domestic pigeons to determine the Attributable risk of Capillaria spp. The Capillaria spp. was observed in 64 out of 120 (51%) pigeons (70 males and 50 females) under this study. A total of 64 (39 males and 25 females) were found naturally infected with Capillaria spp. with infection percentage of 51% and 50% in males and females respectively. Qualitative examinations include the direct microscopy and faecal floatation while quantitative examination includes McMaster technique (worms load was calculated per gram of the faeces). Month wise Attributable risk showed that eggs of the worms were found to be abundant in the month of July during the present study (60% to 73%) because of high humidity. Very high and very low temperature is not suitable for the proper development of the eggs. Qualitative and quantitative examination revealed that Capillaria spp. was more prevalent in males (51%) than females (50%) but overall there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the male and female because both individuals invest equal amount of energy in search of food and incubating the eggs. Different breeds of pigeons gave different Attributable risk in different months during the study. Groups of pigeons from different locations showed different variable Attributable risk. Areas with high humidity were more suitable for the development of eggs, which is the reason why higher Attributable risk was observed in Shahdara (75%) area of Lahore, Pakistan.

RESUMO A hipótese do presente estudo consiste em que uma dieta aniônica prolongada acarretaria uma mobilização mais rápida do cálcio sanguíneo. O objetivo proposto foi avaliar parâmetros clínicos, hematológicos e bioquímicos de novilhas, com hipocalcemia subclínica, submetidas a diferentes períodos de fornecimento de dieta aniônica no pré-parto. Foram utilizadas nove novilhas da raça Holandês induzidas à hipocalcemia subclínica no pré-parto, divididas em três grupos: G0 = sem dieta aniônica antes da indução; G11 = 11 dias de dieta aniônica pré-indução; e G15 = 15 dias de dieta aniônica pré-indução. Foi realizado exame clínico antes e depois da indução, e avaliaram-se cálcio total e ionizado, magnésio e albumina nos dias -2, 0, 1, 2 e 3 (dia 0 = momento da indução) e parâmetros hematológicos nos dias 0, 1, 2 e 3. O G11 apresentou maiores concentrações de cálcio total e ionizado que o G0 e maiores níveis de cálcio total que o G15 (P<0,01). O magnésio teve maiores valores no G15 quando comparado aos outros grupos (P<0,01). O G0 apresentou os maiores valores de monócitos e neutrófilos bastonetes (P<0,01). A dieta aniônica por 11 dias é suficiente para manter a homeostase do cálcio e a resposta leucocitária em novilhas desafiadas a uma diminuição do cálcio sanguíneo.

Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT In China, Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) was officially first reported in 2007. From 2010 until the outbreak of 2013, PPRV infection was not reported. In November 2013, PPRV re-emerged in Xinjiang and rapidly spread to 22 P/A/M (provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities) of China. In the study, suspected PPRV-infected sheep in a breeding farm of South Xinjiang in 2014 were diagnosed and the characteristics of complete sequence of N protein gene of PPRV was analyzed. The sheep showed PPRV-infected signs, such as fever, orinasal secretions increase, dyspnea and diarrhea, with 60% of morbidity and 21.1% of fatality rate. The macroscopic lesions after autopsy and histopathological changes were observed under light microscope including stomatitis, broncho-interstitial pneumonia, catarrhal hemorrhagic enteritis and intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusions in multinucleated giantcell in lung. The formalin-fixed mixed tissues samples were positive by nucleic acid extraction and RT-PCR detection. The nucleotide of N protein gene of China/XJNJ/2014 strain was extremely high homology with the China/XJYL/2013 strain, and the highest with PRADESH_95 strain from India in exotic strains. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete sequence of N protein gene of PPRV showed that the China/XJNJ/2014 strain, other strain of 2013-2014 in this study and Tibetan strains all belonged to lineage Ⅳ, but the PPRV strains of 2013-2014 in this study and Tibetan strains were in different sub-branches.

RESUMO O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a hemogasometria venosa de equinos com lesões isquêmicas induzidas experimentalmente no cólon menor. Foram utilizados oito equinos sadios, com idades entre cinco e oito anos, sem raça definida. Os animais foram submetidos à celiotomia e a quatro horas de obstrução intraluminal do cólon menor. Foram realizadas coletas de amostras de sangue imediatamente antes da indução anestésica (T0), no momento em que a anestesia foi estabilizada (T1), quatro horas após a obstrução intraluminal (T4), e, durante o pós-cirúrgico, as coletas foram realizadas em intervalos de 12 horas até completar 72 horas (T16, T28, T40, T52, T64 e T76). Notou-se em T4 alcalose metabólica, com compensação respiratória por meio da hipoventilação. Esse quadro de alcalose foi brando e transitório, retornando os valores normais para a espécie em T16, com 12 horas de desobstrução intestinal.

RESUMO Objetivou-se avaliar as características dos tibiotarsos de frangos de corte fêmeas. As variáveis analisadas foram os pesos in natura, secos e desengordurados, o comprimento, os diâmetros, a resistência óssea, o índice de Seedor (IS), os percentuais de proteínas colagenosas (PC), as proteínas não colagenosas (PNC), os minerais (cálcio, fósforo, potássio e sódio) e as cinzas. Foram utilizadas 648 aves, da marca comercial Cobb®, em um delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com seis tratamentos e seis repetições, com 18 aves por unidade experimental. Os tratamentos consistiram na suplementação de 0,00; 0,50; 1,00; 1,50; 2,00 e 2,50 μg de 1,25-dihidroxivitamina-D3 (1,25(OH)2D3)/kg de ração. Aos 21 e 35 dias de idade, as aves foram pesadas e uma ave por unidade experimental (UE) com o peso médio da UE foi eutanasiada para a obtenção dos tibiotarsos e subsequente análise dos parâmetros ósseos. As variáveis métricas, bem como a composição orgânica (PC), a densidade (IS) e a resistência à quebra dos ossos das aves, não foram influenciadas pelos tratamentos. No recebimento de 2,50 µg de 1,25(OH)2D3/kg de ração, observou-se maior retenção mineral (cinzas) nos ossos das aves aos 35 dias de idade.

RESUMO As neoplasias ovarianas em gatas são raras e, quando relatadas, estão associadas a animais senis, assim como a piometra de causa não iatrogênica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar o caso de uma gata jovem com neoplasia ovariana, tumor de células da granulosa associado ao complexo hiperplasia endometrial cística/piometra (HECP). O animal foi atendido no setor de Reprodução Animal e Obstetrícia Veterinária (RAOV) de um Hospital Veterinário Escola, com histórico de monta natural recente, anorexia, êmese, polidipsia, poliúria e descarga vaginal purulenta. Ao exame físico, observou-se apatia, mucosas ictéricas, aumento de volume da região abdominal e presença de secreção vaginal purulenta. À ultrassonografia, foi visibilizado conteúdo ecogênico no útero diagnóstico de HECP e estrutura ecogênica na cavidade abdominal, na região ovariana, confirmado pelo exame histopatológico como sendo tumor das células da granulosa. A conduta terapêutica adotada foi a cirurgia de ovariossalpingo-histerectomia (OSH).

ABSTRACT This study reports a co-infection of Escherichia coli and Salmonella in a free-living ruddy ground dove (Columbina talpacoti) received at the Laboratory of Ornithological Studies of the State University of Ceará, Brazil. The bird presented diarrhea, leg paralysis and anorexia, and died shortly after. Necropsy was then performed and samples from lung, kidney, liver and intestine were collected for microbiological and histopathological analyses. Escherichia coli was isolated from cloacal swab, lung and kidney samples. Salmonella ser. Saintpaul was identified in liver and spleen samples. Escherichia coli isolates were tested for the presence of eight diagnostic genes for diarrheagenic pathotypes (STEC, ETEC, EPEC, EIEC, EAEC) with conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). EAEC was detected in the lung and kidney, and STEC in the intestine. In conclusion, Columbina talpacoti is susceptible to enteroaggregative Escherichia coli and Salmonella ser. Saintpaul infection, which may have public health implications.

RESUMO Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos do pneumoperitônio e da posição de Trendelenburg sobre o fluxo de saída do ventrículo esquerdo em gatos anestesiados. Quatorze gatos foram alocados aleatoriamente em dois grupos, ambos submetidos ao pneumoperitônio com 10mmHg de dióxido de carbono (CO2). No grupo controle (GC n=7), os animais foram submetidos apenas ao pneumoperitônio e, no grupo Trendelenburg (GTREN n=7), os animais foram colocados em cefalodeclive 20° após o pneumoperitônio. A indução anestésica foi realizada com isoflurano, utilizando-se caixa de indução. Posteriormente, os animais foram mantidos sob anestesia inalatória com o mesmo fármaco. Foram avaliados a velocidade do fluxo de saída do ventrículo esquerdo (VFSVE), os gradientes máximo (GmáxSVE) e médio (GmédSVE) de pressão e a integral velocidade-tempo (IVT). Os parâmetros foram mensurados nos momentos T0 (basal), antes da insuflação; T5 (cinco), T15 (quinze) e T30 (trinta) minutos após a insuflação. Os resultados mostraram um aumento da VFSVE no GC, em T15 e T30 (P=0,024), e um aumento do GmáxSVE no GC, em T30 (P=0,045). As variáveis não se alteraram significativamente em nenhum momento no GTREN. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a posição de Trendelenburg favoreceu o sistema cardiovascular, preservando os índices de fluxo sanguíneo na saída do ventrículo esquerdo.
Impacto de um desastre natural sobre o habitat e a ocorrência de Lontra longicaudis (Mustelidae, Carnivora) na Serra da Prata, Paraná, Brasil
Authors: Navarro Marcos A. , Quadros Juliana
Published: October 2017

RESUMO Estudos com impacto de desastres naturais sobre a fauna são raros na literatura científica. Considerando Lontra longicaudis (Olfers, 1818), informações publicadas não foram encontradas. O presente estudo buscou determinar se os deslizamentos de terra ocorridos em março de 2011 em parte das montanhas da Serra da Prata (Paraná, Brasil) afetaram de alguma forma a ocorrência da Lontra Neotropical no local impactado. Com esse propósito, a área estudada compreendeu um rio afetado (Rio Santa Cruz - RSC) da face leste dessa serra que foi comparado com outro não afetado (Rio das Pombas - RP), localizado na mesma face da serra e com características semelhantes às originais do RSC. A área de estudo está situada no Parque Nacional de Saint-Hilaire/Lange (PNSHL). Foram realizadas sete campanhas a partir do limite altitudinal do PNSHL (60 m s.n.m) para montante entre agosto de 2012 e julho de 2013. As campanhas consistiram de busca ativa por vestígios (fezes, pegadas, arranhados) e tocas de lontras ao longo de 3 km de margens e leito. Registros de outros mamíferos também foram observados. Cada evidência foi anotada em caderneta de campo, fotografada e georreferenciada. As tocas foram monitoradas ao longo das campanhas. Considerando as lontras, foram registrados 102 vestígios (11 arranhados, 11 pegadas e 80 fezes) e 17 tocas no rio não afetado (RP); e o rio afetado (RSC) apresentou apenas quatro vestígios (três pegadas, uma amostra fecal) e uma toca. Registros de outros mamíferos denotaram a presença de oito táxons no RP e 14 táxons no RSC. As diferenças conspícuas entre a quantidade de vestígios da presença das lontras indicam que o desastre natural afetou a população de lontras do RSC e mesmo dois anos após o evento as lontras retornaram apenas discretamente ao rio afetado. Por outro lado, outras espécies de mamíferos como Cuniculus paca (Linnaeus, 1758), reocuparam as margens abundantemente.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the literature to investigate how and with what modifications or adaptations constraint-induced movement therapy has been employed in clinical practice for therapeutic interventions in children with cerebral palsy. Searches were conducted of the CAPES (Brazilian fostering agency) periodical portal, Pubmed, Bireme, Science Direct, Scielo and PEDro databases for relevant articles published between January 2010 and May 2016. The articles retrieved were evaluated, scored and qualified by two blinded reviewers using the Physical therapy Evidence Database Scale. The searches led to the retrieval of 102 articles, 12 of which were included in the present systematic review. A table was created containing information on the study groups, inclusion criteria, intervention, intervention frequency, difficulties encountered, evaluations and outcomes. Considerable variety was found in the therapeutic intervention models. The findings of the present review demonstrate that constraint-induced movement therapy in pediatric clinical practice is not employed in its original form. Although the studies analyzed did not have a common methodology regarding the use of this type of therapy, the method has been adapted with considerable flexibility, providing promising, positive results regarding the therapeutic intervention of the paretic upper limb in children with cerebral palsy.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze possible associations between a Fantastic lifestyle and self-perception of oral health, binge drinking, and socio-demographic variables among public college students. Methods: questionnaires validated for use in Brazil were applied to 672 students in randomly selected courses. It was the first questionnaire to assess a Fantastic lifestyle, the second to measure oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-14), and the third to include socio-demographic information. Multilevel linear regression was used for the analyses. Results: among the participants, 64.21% were full-time students, 52.82% were females, 50.85% had a family income between 4 and 8 minimum wages, 16.75% were binge drinkers, and 22.22% used to drive after drinking. Socio-demographic variables such as income (p = 0.001), religion (p = 0.02), marital status (p = 0.021), binge drinking (p <0.001), and OHIP-14 (p <0.001) were associated with a Fantastic lifestyle. Conclusions: fantastic lifestyle of the Brazilian college students was associated with income, oral health-related quality of life, marital status, religion, and alcohol consumption (binge drinking).

ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate which intelligence, described in the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, favors the development of language (linguistic intelligence) of the patients, in relation to the studied variables: development phase (children and adolescents), sex and preferential intelligences. Methods: the quantitative-qualitative approach was used, with the identification by content analysis of the preferred intelligences of the 107 patients participating in the investigation and the intelligences contemplated in each therapy. After the coding of these data in numbers, the results obtained in the 1,802 therapies analyzed were compared with the development phase, sex and preferential intelligences, using a statistical test. Results: in the analysis of the data, it was evidenced that the results obtained in the therapy differ between children and adolescents, according to the intelligences contemplated, which is also observed when considering females and males, but to a lesser extent. Conclusion: it is important to observe the characteristics of age, sex and preferential intelligences, in relation to the contemplation of the different intelligences in the activities developed in the therapy, with a view to the qualification of the results.
Pesquisa em Serviço Social: concepções e críticas
Authors: Moraes Carlos Antonio de Souza
Published: October 2017

Resumo O artigo objetiva problematizar as concepções e os significados de pesquisa acadêmico-científica e pesquisa em serviços. Sua relevância é inerente ao fato de que a pesquisa para o Serviço Social brasileiro, na atualidade, é entendida como atribuição profissional que se expressa na formação e no trabalho. Metodologicamente recorreu-se a pesquisa bibliográfica realizada em livros, revistas acadêmicocientíficas, dissertações e teses na área de Serviço Social que abordam os seguintes eixos que também compõem o roteiro do estudo: pesquisa e produção de conhecimentos em Serviço Social; pesquisa e trabalho profissional. Os resultados apontam que o Serviço Social, enquanto área produtora de conhecimentos, insiste no questionamento e enfrentamento da cultura dominante, embora afetado pela realidade capitalista que dialeticamente o impulsiona em dados momentos a reduzir a pesquisa a sistematizações de levantamentos. Além disso, há necessidade de ampliar as discussões da pesquisa para graduação em Serviço Social como possibilidade de romper o academicismo e a unidisciplina.
Considerações para uma ontogênese da política pelo trabalho
Authors: Hillesheim Jaime , Machado Giovanny Simon
Published: October 2017

Resumo O presente artigo tem como objetivo a elaboração de considerações introdutórias para o entendimento da política com sua origem mediante a categoria trabalho, entendido na obra dos pensadores Karl Marx e György Lukács como mediação fundamental entre humanidade e natureza, produtor de valores de uso e momento fundante do ser social. Realizada pesquisa bibliográfica, sistematizando as principais categorias marxiano-lukacsianas e relacionando-as com a política. Como ontogênese, auferiu-se que o surgimento da política está vinculado ao trabalho, pois mimetiza as suas operações fundamentais. O trabalho como pôr teleológico primário é ação consciente que, por meio da prévia-ideação, planeja a execução e movimenta legalidades da matéria criando objetos úteis para seus fins. Por seu turno, os pores secundários, dentre os quais destaca-se a política, ainda que derivados do trabalho, dele se distinguem e incidem sobre indivíduos na realização de seus pores concretos. O surgimento da política, assim, está relacionado à necessidade do convencimento, ou da tentativa de induzir homens ou grupos de homens a realizarem determinadas atividades dentro de uma forma específica de sociabilidade.

Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT The use of small sections of sugarcane propagules for planting brings new challenges, due to the use of different parts of the stem, since each one contains different concentrations of reserves and hormonal balances. This study aimed to assess the influence of types of propagules used for planting sugarcane. A field experiment was carried out using a randomized block design, with three replications, in a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement (propagules with 2, 3 and 4 buds from the apex, middle and base of the stems). The original position (apical and central) and the number of buds of the propagules (2 and 3 buds) influenced the initial development of the plants and, consequently, their yield. The interaction between these two factors showed that, as the number of buds of the propagules decreases, their position plays an important role in budding. Thus, when smaller propagules are used for the establishment of sugarcane, the original position of the bud in the propagule should be considered.

ABSTRACT Combining forest and crop species into a production system may enhance its sustainability. This study aimed to evaluate the yield components, yield and grain quality of soybean cultivars, in an agroforestry system containing Eucalyptus grandis. A complete randomized block design, in a split-plot arrangement, with three replications, was used. Four soybean cultivars were allocated into the plots (BRS 359 RR, BRS 360 RR, BMX Potência RR and NA 5909 RR). The subplots consisted of five positions between the rows of E. grandis (spaced in 28 m - close to the trees on the east and west sides, intermediate position on the east and west sides and at the center of the row). The yield components and soybean grain yield reduce significantly the closer the plants are seeded to the rows of E. grandis. However, the oil and protein contents in soybean grains are not influenced by the position between rows, regardless of the cultivar. Among all evaluated cultivars, NA 5909 RR presents the best agronomic performance in the agroforestry system containing eucalyptus.
