Published: June 2015

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar in vitro la resistencia de bacterias endófitas a diferentes concentraciones de plomo. El muestreo se realizó en el primer semestre de 2013, durante el cual se colectaron muestras de tejidos de variedades comerciales de arroz en etapa de macollamiento cultivadas en el municipio de Montería, Córdoba, Colombia. Cada tejido fue sometido a proceso de desinfección superficial. Se aislaron bacterias endófitas en medio de cultivo agar R2A; a partir de cada tejido se determinó la densidad poblacional (UFC/g de tejido) por el método de conteo sobre la superficie de medio R2A; la separación de morfotipos se realizó mediante la forma, color, tamaño y apariencia. Un total de 168 morfotipos fueron aislados de raíz, macolla y hoja de diferentes variedades comerciales de arroz. La prueba de resistencia a plomo se realizó in vitro, para esto se prepararon suspensiones de bacterias en fase log, se inocularon en medio mínimo con cinco concentraciones de plomo en forma de Pb(NO3)2. El ensayo se llevó a incubación con agitación por 150 rpm, a 32 °C por cinco días. Cada hora después de iniciado el ensayo se realizó lectura de la turbidimetría a 600 nm. Las bacterias mostraron la capacidad de crecer a concentraciones de 100% de Pb en forma Pb(NO3)2. La identificación con el kit API20E confirmó la presencia de Burkholderia cepacia y Pseudomonas putida, las cuales mostraron resistencia a diferentes concentraciones de plomo.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar fungicidas para el combate de antracnosis en Sansevieria trifasciata var. Hahnii. Se evaluaron doce fungicidas (solos o en mezcla) sobre la infección y severidad de C. sansevieriae en un sistema de hojas separadas. Los fungicidas utilizados fueron azoxistrobina, boscalid + piraclostrobina, carbendazina + mancozeb, difenoconazol, epoxiconazol + carbendazina, folpet, imazalil, metil tiofanato + mancozeb, miclobutanil y prochloraz. El estudio se llevó a cabo en el Laboratorio de Biotecnología de Plantas del Centro de Investigaciones Agronómicas, Universidad de Costa Rica, durante el primer semestre del año 2012. La aplicación de los tratamientos se realizó por aspersión el día de la inoculación o tres días después de esta (0 y 3 ddi). A los siete, once y quince días después de la inoculación se evaluó el número y diámetro de las lesiones. El fungicida, el momento de aplicación, la interacción fungicida x momento de aplicación y la interacción fungicida x día de evaluación afectaron significativamente (p<0,0001) las variables evaluadas. Azoxistrobina, boscalid + piraclostrobina, carbendazina + mancozeb, epoxiconazol + carbendazina y metil tiofanato + mancozeb proveyeron un 100% de protección de las hojas de Sansevieria durante todo el período de evaluación (quince días), cuando se aplicaron el mismo día de la inocualción (0 ddi). A los 3 ddi, solo epoxiconazol + carbendazina inhibió en un 100% el establecimiento del patógeno (incidencia cero), en las tres evaluaciones. Con los tratamientos azoxistrobina y carbendazina + mancozeb también se obtuvo un 0% de incidencia a los siete y once días de evaluación para el primero y a los siete días para el segundo.

Authors: Rodríguez-Ruiz Ana María , Chaves-Barrantes Néstor , Hernández-Díaz Alberto , Herrera-Murillo Franklin
Published: June 2015

El objetivo de este trabajo fue verificar la presencia de resistencia al cletodim en poblaciones de Poa annua, en el cultivo de cebolla en la zona alta de Cartago, Costa Rica. Se realizaron dos experimentos; el primero se llevó a cabo en el año 2007, en una casa de mallas de la Estación Experimental Agrícola Fabio Baudrit Moreno (EEAFBM), con semilla de plantas que procedieron de una finca donde cletodim ejerció buen control (S), y de otra finca con control deficiente (R). En cada población se aplicó cletodim a diferentes dosis (0,5X, 1,0X, 1,5X y 2,0X) siendo X la dosis comercial recomendada. En este experimento las dosis de 1,5 y 2,0X de cletodim mostraron un 44 y 17% de control respectivamente, en la población R, mientras que las mismas dosis controlaron en 100% la población S. El segundo experimento se realizó en el 2009, recolectándose directamente en el campo semillas de dos poblaciones de P. annua, una en un sitio con control satisfactorio (S) y la otra de un lote de la misma finca donde el control fue deficiente (R). Las semillas se sembraron en recipientes plásticos según poblaciones y se aplicó cletodim a las dosis de 0, 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 16X. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las poblaciones de P. annua en su reacción al cletodim. En la población S se obtuvo mayor porcentaje de control y menos plantas sobrevivientes que la población R. Varias plantas de la población R soportaron hasta dieciséis veces la dosis comercial de cletodim. Los resultados de ambos experimentos sugieren la presencia de poblaciones de P. annua con resistencia a cletodim.

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar el uso del espaciador plastídico trnH-psbA y la secuencia codificante matK como posibles marcadores para la caracterización molecular de dos accesiones de membrillo (C. oblonga). Estas provinieron de Argentina y de Costa Rica. El trabajo se llevó a cabo en el Centro de Investigación en Biotecnología del Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR), durante el año 2014. Los productos amplificados fueron analizados con el software MEGA v6.0 para calcular las distancias genéticas mediante el modelo de Tamura-Nei. Se determinó que la secuencia matK fue la que presentó el mayor porcentaje de sitios variables y distancia intraespecífica, indicando la presencia de polimorfismos entre las accesiones. Por otro lado, la utilización del espaciador trnH-psbA para membrillo, tuvo poca capacidad de discriminación debido a que a nivel intraespecífico este locus presentó menos divergencias.
Mezclas de sustratos orgánicos e inorgánicos, tamaño de partícula y proporción.
Authors: Morales-Maldonado Emilio Raymundo , Casanova-Lugo Fernando
Published: June 2015

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue realizar una revisión acerca de las mezclas de materiales orgánicos e inorgánicos utilizados en la elaboración de un nuevo material, el tamaño de partícula, la proporción y su respuesta en planta. En México, los desechos agropecuarios son considerados un reservorio de contaminantes; sin embargo, desde otra perspectiva, representan una industria con mucho potencial. Los nutrientes ingeridos por los animales representan nutrimentos disponibles para las plantas cuando son reciclados adecuadamente. Una de las opciones que minimiza el riesgo de contaminación y mejora su calidad, es la elaboración de compostaje y vermicompost. Ambos procesos constituyen una alternativa para la producción orgánica. Un material por si solo no cumple con las condiciones óptimas. La reducción del volumen de un material orgánico aumenta la compactación y la compresión de las raíces, afectando la eficiencia de riego y la fertilización, por lo que es necesario hacer mezclas con materiales inorgánicos, lo cual se aprovecha en la elaboración de un nuevo material para obtener mejores condiciones de crecimiento para la planta.

Authors: Rivera Barquero Ángelo , Cano López Francis
Published: June 2015

La colitis ulcerativa crónica indeterminada (CUCI) se caracteriza por una inflamación que afecta en su inicio principalmente al recto, pudiendo extenderse en forma continua y difusa hacia el colon. La anemia es muy frecuente en pacientes con CUCI debido a sangrados y a la cronicidad de la enfermedad. Además, la CUCI puede disminuir la tolerancia inmunológica, lo que puede desencadenar en algunos casos la anemia hemolítica autoinmune (AHAI) mediada normalmente por anticuerpos del tipo IgG. La paciente del caso, presenta una AHAI asociada a CUCI con mediación de anticuerpos tanto IgG como IgA, por lo que es una situación sumamente infrecuente.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Methanofullerene-4-Fluoro-α-Cyanostilbene Dyad as a Potential Acceptor for Organic Solar Cells
Authors: Neti Venkata
Published: June 2015

A series of fluorine appended highly conjugated fullerenes were prepared containing fluoro-α-cyanostilbene and aryl ester units. These modified PCBM dyads are fully characterized by NMR, Mass spectrometry, UV-vis, and cyclic voltammetry (Figures 1-4). It was found that the presence of fluoro-α-cyanostilbenes and esters affects the cyclic voltammetry and absorption in the UV-Vis region. The PCBA modified fullerenes significantly influences the HOMO-LUMO energy and wide absorption compared to PCBM.

Authors: Nogueira Carla , Borges Fernanda , Lameu Edson , Franca Carlos , Rosa Cíntia Letícia da Silva , Ramalho Andréa
Published: June 2015

Objective: patients suffering systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) constitute a group susceptible to elevated levels of oxidative stress. This study’s aim is to evaluate the state of oxidative stress and levels of serum retinol and β-carotene in these patients. Methods: forty-six patients were divided into 2 groups: those those without diet (G1; n=18) and those with enteral nutritional support (G2; n=28). Serum levels of retinol and total carotenoids were measured. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and Apache scores were also calculated. Oxidative stress was estimated by measuring thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels. Results: the patients’ median age was 66.9 (SD=19.3) years. Lower concentrations of retinol and carotenoids were found in 68.6 and 66.7% of G1, respectively. In G2, despite average vitamin A levels being 8078 + 4035, retinol and β-carotene were considered insufficient (31.2 and 33.4%, respectively). No difference was noted between the 2 groups, according to the variables studied, with the exception being PCR and β-carotene (p=0.002; p=0.01). Conclusion: the data presented in this study supports the need to establish/revise clinical practices in treating SIRS patients, in light of this micronutrient’s role in the immune system and antioxidant defense without it interfering with its toxicity.

Summary Objectives: vitamin D is important for muscle function and it affects different aspects of muscle metabolism. This study aim to determine whether serum 25(OH) D levels are related to lung functions, physical performance and balance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: in 90 patients with COPD and 57 healthy controls lung function tests, physical performance tests (time up and go, gait velocity test, sit-to-stand test, isometric strength, isokinetic strength), static (functional reach test) and dynamic (time up and go) balance tests and the association of 25(OH)D levels with lung functions, physical performance and balance were evaluated. Results: the COPD patients had significantly more deﬁcit in physical function and balance parameters, and in dynamic balance test (p<0.005). Isokinetic knee muscle strength (flexor and extensor) in COPD patients was significantly lower than in the controls (p<0.05); FEV1 (p=0.008), FVC (p=0.02), FEV1/FVC (p=0.04), TLC (p=0.01) were lower in COPD patients with vitamin D deficiency [25(OH) D less than 15ng/mL] than in COPD patients without vitamin D deficiency. Hand grip test (p=0.000) and isokinetic knee muscle strength (flexor and extensor) (p<0.05) were also lower in COPD patients with vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was more pronounced in patients with stage III COPD (p<0.05). Conclusion: patients with COPD had worst physical functioning, poor balance and less muscle strength. Severe disturbed lung and peripheral muscle functions are more pronounced in COPD patients with vitamin D deficiency.
Intersected ruralities: "Campeiro" youth and narratives of self and other in social media
Authors: Adelman Miriam , Franco César Bueno , Pires Andressa Fontana
Published: June 2015

This article presents current research on gender and identity among youth who take part in the campeiro cultural circuit in the Curitiba metropolitan area. We look specifically at the narratives that these youth formulate through use of social media, focusing on how they represent masculinity and femininity, sexuality and the body, consumption, cultural identities and leisure interests. Based on a study of young men and women and their Facebook profiles, linked to a broader project of ethnographic research, we argue that social media facilitate their participation in wider fields of discourse circulation, offering an opportunity and perhaps even encouraging them to express themselves in ways that partially disrupt conventional "traditionalist" patterns and ideals.

Published: June 2015

The aim of this study was to create a term base for nursing practices with elderly women with HIV/AIDS. This documental descriptive research was conducted at the Universidade Federal de Paraíba, from August 2012 to July 2013, based on a list of terms from the Integrated Plan to Combat the Feminization of AIDS and other STDs. These terms were cross-mapped with those of the International Classification for Nursing Practices 2011 (CIPE(r) 2011) and use of these terms in nursing practices was confirmed with the help of 15 participants. The base comprised 106 constant terms and 69 non-constant terms in the CIPE(r) 2011. Results revealed the need to reconsider nursing care for elderly women with HIV/AIDS in light of epidemiological changes in relation to aging and feminization of the disease. The term base will support the construction of more appropriate wording for nursing diagnoses, results and interventions for elderly women with HIV/AIDS.

Published: June 2015

A qualitative descriptive study aimed at understanding the perceptions of the family members of children regarding well-child check-ups in the context of attention to child healthcare. Data collection was done using semi-structured interviews of 19 families, in the city of Maringá, in the state of Paraná, Brazil, from December 2012 to February 2013. The data was analyzed using content analysis, a thematic modality, which resulted in the thematic category "Revealing well-child check-ups from the family's point of view" and two secondary categories. The results showed the interviewees' insipient knowledge of well-child check-ups, reflecting the lack of adequate guidance about this type of care. The family members showed a preference for care of children by a pediatrician. Although secondary, the family noted the participation of the nurse in this activity. It is considered extremely important that well-child check-ups are valued by family members in order to promote effective multi-professional participation in this modality of attention.

Authors: Moreno Vania , Barbosa Guilherme Correa
Published: June 2015

The objective of this investigation was to understand what family members know about the rights of individuals affected by mental illness. To this end, a qualitative exploratory study was conducted. A semi-structured interview was used for data collection. Eighteen family members were interviewed at a psychosocial care center (CAPS) and a civil society organization (CSO) located in a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, between March and September 2013. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis and the following categories were constructed: mental health services and the rights of individuals affected by mental illness. We were able to infer that in addition to drug-based therapy, mental health services must provide therapeutic activities. Family members of those affected by mental illness were unaware of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform Law and mentioned the following rights: welfare benefits, free public transport, basic food basket and medications.
Luzes em Portugal: do terremoto à inauguração da estátua equestre do Reformador
Authors: Santos Antonio Cesar de Almeida
Published: June 2015

Neste artigo apresento algumas considerações acerca da experiência portuguesa do Iluminismo, enfocando as mudanças realizadas (ou propostas) durante o reinado de D. José I. Como esse reinado ficou muito mais marcado pela figura do marquês de Pombal, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, ao contrário de adotar uma perspectiva tradicional, que entende que essas mudanças não seguiram um plano previamente definido, defendo que as reformas ocorridas derivavam de uma "teoria" política e formavam um plano de ação coerente, com o objetivo de fazer com que "um pequeno país", Portugal, se igualasse a outros "em riqueza e em forças". Nesse aspecto, considero que tais mudanças, além de conterem referências a ideias de intelectuais portugueses da época, apresentam elementos que deixam manifesto o contato de Carvalho e Melo com doutrinas do direito natural, da política e de teor econômico, consoante "o ser e o agir de um estadista moderno".

Authors: Shinohara Eduardo Jun , Machado Cláudia A. S. , Giannotti Mariana A. , Quintanilha José Alberto
Published: June 2015

Resumo No Brasil existe a perspectiva de crescimento expressivo do volume de dados a ser processado pelas prestadoras de serviços de rastreamento de veículos em decorrência do aumento natural do uso de sistemas de rastreamento. Esse crescimento gera a necessidade da incorporação de ferramentas analíticas nos sistemas de gerenciamento do rastreamento e monitoramento de veículos e na gestão de risco, para aumentar a sua eficiência e atender ao crescimento do mercado. O presente estudo tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um modelo para identificação do Padrão de Comportamento Espacial de Veículos em Movimento – PCEVM, utilizando uma ferramenta de análise espacial para auxiliar o processo de tomada de decisão no monitoramento de veículos e na gestão do sistema de transporte urbano. Embora os resultados obtidos sejam válidos para a particular configuração apresentada neste artigo, a metodologia de análise proposta permite a caracterização de padrões espaciais de movimentação de veículos na área e no período considerados, o que é útil, por exemplo, para planejadores municipais, empresas de logística e empresas seguradoras. Conclui-se que o resultado da comparação entre o posicionamento coletado em tempo real com o modelo de distribuição espacial obtido na caracterização dos padrões de comportamento espaciais é capaz de detectar anormalidades do comportamento de movimentação do veículo e oferecer subsídios para a tomada de decisão em sistemas de monitoramento e gerenciamento de veículos, que visem à segurança patrimonial e pessoal, identificando comportamentos de movimentação não esperados ou de comportamentos de risco.

Published: June 2015

Purpose: To analyze speech expressiveness in a group of executives based on perceptive and acoustic aspects of vocal dynamics. Methods: Four male subjects participated in the research study (S1, S2, S3, and S4). The assessments included the Kingdomality test to obtain the keywords of communicative attitudes; perceptive-auditory assessment to characterize vocal quality and dynamics, performed by three judges who are speech language pathologists; perceptiveauditory assessment to judge the chosen keywords; speech acoustics to assess prosodic elements (Praat software); and a statistical analysis. Results: According to the perceptive-auditory analysis of vocal dynamics, S1, S2, S3, and S4 did not show vocal alterations and all of them were considered with lowered habitual pitch. S1: pointed out as insecure, nonobjective, nonempathetic, and unconvincing with inappropriate use of pauses that are mainly formed by hesitations; inadequate separation of prosodic groups with breaking of syntagmatic constituents. S2: regular use of pauses for respiratory reload, organization of sentences, and emphasis, which is considered secure, little objective, empathetic, and convincing. S3: pointed out as secure, objective, empathetic, and convincing with regular use of pauses for respiratory reload and organization of sentences and hesitations. S4: the most secure, objective, empathetic, and convincing, with proper use of pauses for respiratory reload, planning, and emphasis; prosodic groups agreed with the statement, without separating the syntagmatic constituents. Conclusion: The speech characteristics and communicative attitudes were highlighted in two subjects in a different manner, in such a way that the slow rate of speech and breaks of the prosodic groups transmitted insecurity, little objectivity, and nonpersuasion.

OBJECTIVE Implementing cross-mapping of Nursing language terms with the terminology of NANDA International, contained in records of patients with Parkinson's disease in rehabilitation. METHOD Descriptive study of cross mapping, carried out in three steps. A simple random sample of 67 files of patients who participated in the rehabilitation in the period between March 2009 and April 2013. RESULTS We identified 454 terms of Nursing language that resulted in 54 diagnoses after cross-mapping, present in 11 of the 13 taxonomy domains. The most mapped diagnosis was "Impaired urinary elimination" (59.7%), followed by "Urgent urinary incontinence" (55.2%), "Willingness to self-control improved health" (50.7%), "Constipation" (47.8%) and "Compromised physical mobility" (29.9%). Seven described terms were not mapped due to a corresponding defining characteristic being absent. CONCLUSION It was possible to determine the profile of patients, as well as the complexity of nursing care in the rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson's disease.

OBJECTIVE Identifying the violence suffered by the health team workers and their association with Burnout and minor psychiatric disorders. METHODS Cross-sectional study with 269 health team professionals of a public hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected through the use of the Survey Questionnaire: Workplace Violence in the Health Sector, Maslach Inventory Burnout and Self-Report Questionnaire. RESULTS Workplace violence struck 63.2% of workers, prevailing mostly in women (p = 0.001), among nursing auxiliaries/technicians (p=0.014) and was associated with minor psychiatric disorders (p<0.05), as exposure to different forms of violence increased the chances of these disorders by 60% (CI 95%: 1.2-2.1). The three Burnout dimensions were also associated to violence at work (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Health workers experience violence in the workplace and this exposure is associated with Burnout symptoms and minor psychiatric disorders.

Published: June 2015

OBJECTIVE Identify the direct cost of reprocessing double and single cotton-woven drapes of the surgical LAP package. METHOD A quantitative, exploratory and descriptive case study, performed at a teaching hospital. The direct cost of reprocessing cotton-woven surgical drapes was calculated by multiplying the time spent by professionals involved in reprocessing the unit with the direct cost of labor, adding to the cost of materials. The Brazilian currency (R$) originally used for the calculations was converted to US currency at the rate of US$0.42/R$. RESULTS The average total cost for surgical LAP package was US$9.72, with the predominance being in the cost of materials (US$8.70 or 89.65%). It is noteworthy that the average total cost of materials was mostly impacted by the cost of the cotton-woven drapes (US$7.99 or 91.90%). CONCLUSION The knowledge gained will subsidize discussions about replacing reusable cotton-woven surgical drapes for disposable ones, favoring arguments regarding the advantages and disadvantages of this possibility considering human resources, materials, as well as structural, environmental and financial resources.

Published: June 2015

Este artigo analisa o processo de formação da rede regional de atenção à saúde na Região Metropolitana da Grande Vitória-ES (RMGV-ES), com foco específico no atendimento hospitalar público, procurando dimensionar o estágio atual de estruturação da rede hospitalar intermunicipal no Estado do Espírito Santo, particularmente na Grande Vitória. Analisaram-se as internações realizadas nos hospitais do Sistema Único de Saúde e os deslocamentos dos usuários desses serviços entre os municípios que compõem a RMGV. O método adotado foi o processamento e análise dos dados do Sistema de Internações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH-SUS), sistematizados pelo seu Departamento de Informática, o Datasus. A Região Metropolitana da Grande Vitória assistiu a importantes fluxos populacionais para a utilização de serviços públicos de saúde, conforme indicam os dados coletados. Os maiores deslocamentos verificados foram de homens, crianças e adolescentes, e para internações cirúrgicas. Considerando-se a regionalização como novo princípio e diretriz do processo de descentralização da saúde, este artigo identificou transformações no processo, que anteriormente apontava para a municipalização e, agora, busca fortalecer uma perspectiva regional e intermunicipal para a assistência à população.

Avaliar a articulação dos níveis de atenção aos agravos cardiovasculares na região de Ribeirão Preto-SP-BR. Pesquisa avaliativa utilizando dados secundários do Ministério da Saúde-BR. Foram analisados todos os procedimentos ambulatoriais e hospitalares relativos aos agravos cardiovasculares, atendidos da atenção básica até hospitalar, em 26 municípios, no período de 2000-2010. Para análise foram utilizadas séries temporais tendo como pressuposto organização regional de sistemas de saúde. A produção varia no período, com incremento na atenção ambulatorial e internações cirúrgicas, diminuição de internações clínicas. Há oferta desigual de serviços nos municípios, os menores concentram eletrocardiogramas e internações clínicas. Exames diagnósticos de maior complexidade e internações cirúrgicas são realizados predominantemente no município-polo. A avaliação de serviços de saúde utilizando agravos cardiovasculares como condição traçadora mostrou-se adequada, evidenciou articulação entre os níveis de atenção no sistema regional de saúde, que permite inferir nesse cenário a regionalização e favorece a integralidade da atenção em sua dimensão horizontal.
ECONOMICAL AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF AVIARIES FOR THE INTEGRATION OF BROILERS UNDER CONDITIONS OF RISK

Published: June 2015

Financial investment projects are characterized by uncertainties. When quantified, these will determine the probability of their occurrence and the condition of risk. This information might be analyzed via simulation of Monte Carlo Method, which will establish the level of associated risk. To understand the financial risks of broiler production in integration system, cash flow models for aviaries were formulated with different technological levels. Using deterministic techniques, the value of the main economic viability indicators were calculated, which were incorporated to the risk through a probabilistic model of pseudo-random numbers, generated with Monte Carlo Method. The uncertainties associated to financial projects show that broiler production in different integration systems is economically viable. However, the best financial return and smallest risk are obtained with an aviary which contains low technological level and the least financial investment.

Farmers need highly productive wheat cultivars in order to reach better profitability. However, this alone is not enough, because, in order to serve the mills, the food industry, and more specifically, the bakers, wheat cultivars must present minimum quality requirements that result in final products of superior quality. This study was conducted with the goals of performing the technological characterization of wheat flour five lineages developed for cultivation in the Cerrado Mineiro; compare the flours of these lineages with the wheat flour of two commercial wheat cultivars, and classify the wheat lineages according to current Brazilian legislation. A completely randomized design was conducted with seven treatments and three replicates. Moisture, protein and ashes content, and the rheological characteristics of the flours were determined. The EP066066 lineage as rated was basic wheat. The EP066055, EP064021, EP062043 and EP063065 were rated as bread wheat. Among the studied lineages, the wheat flour from the EP062043 stood from the others, presenting considerable gluten contents, good level of mixing tolerance, good stability and good gluten strength.

Urban drainage has developed from an engineering discipline, concerned principally with public health and safety outcomes, into a multifaceted vision linking drainage with environmental and wider social and economic imperatives to deliver multifunctional outcomes. UK attention is too often focused on surface water as ‘a problem’, despite international progress and initiatives showing that an ‘opportunity-centred’ approach needs to be taken. Sustainable drainage systems, or ‘Suds’, can, when they are part of an integrated approach to water management, cost-effectively provide many benefits beyond management of water quality and quantity. New tools are available that can design Suds for maximum value to society but this requires greater collaboration across disciplines to seize all of the opportunities available. This paper introduces those tools and a roadmap for their use, including guidance, design objectives and criteria for maximising benefits. These new supporting tools and guidance can help to provide a business case for greater use of Suds in future.
Measuring Effectiveness of Persuasive Games Using an Informative Control Condition
Authors: Soekarjo Mara , Oostendorp Herre van
Published: June 2015

Research about the effectiveness of persuasive games is still emerging. This article presents a literature review of studies that empirically evaluate the effectiveness of persuasive games. The review concluded that limited empirical evidence is currently available to prove their effectiveness in attitude change. It further revealed that almost no study employed an informative control condition, making it difficult to conclude that the game was more effective than a control condition. Next, in a pretest-posttest design an empirical study tested whether change in attitude was different for people playing the persuasive game "EnerCities" compared to a control condition where participants read a document with highly similar information. No significant differences in increase of attitude or knowledge between participants that played the game and participants in the informative control condition were found. Based on the results of the literature review and the empirical study presented, it hence cannot be concluded that playing a game leads to a greater change in attitude or knowledge acquisition than experiencing conventional media would. Future work should employ designs with proper control conditions and focus on which game features lead to significant effects.

An investigation to record spatial and seasonal distribution of recent benthic ostracoda was carried out along two transects (East and Northeast) off Rameswaram island of Tamil Nadu coast, India. Thirty sediment and bottom water samples were collected during January 2011 and April 2011 and analysed for various physico-chemical and sediment characteristics using standard procedures. The top 4 cm sediment was preserved in 10% formaldehyde and later in the laboratory the live and total population of Ostracoda was determined using the rose Bengal stain technique. Faunal frequencies for benthic ostracods were computed and correlated with physico-chemical and sediment characteristics. The correlation reveals that ostracod frequency has a positive correlation with sandy substrate and negative correlation with clay substrate and OM%. Faunal frequencies increased by 3 times during summer (April 2011) although values of physico-chemical and sediment characteristics do not show considerable variation from January 2011. The east transect is proximal to the coral reef and characterized by sandy substrate in both seasons, supports high populations and therefore is more congenial for ostracod proliferation. Finally, environmental variables have been correlated with those measured three decades ago to understand the causes for variations.
As belas infiéis: Luciano no salão de M. d’Ablancourt

Published: June 2015

L’expression “les belles infidèles” a été utilisée par Gilles Ménage pour qualifier la traduction des œuvres complètes de Luciano par Nicolas Perrot, seigneur d’Ablancourt, publiée en 1654 et rééditée à plusieurs reprises depuis 1655. Il s’agit d’une proposition de traduction qui a incité dès le début, à juste titre, de la controverse. Cet article examine les propositions théoriques de d’Ablancourt et leur utilisation dans ses traductions de Lucien.
