Diversidad y temporalidad de los eventos caóticos
Authors: Montenegro Joo Javier
Published: December 2016

Las publicaciones sobre caos generalmente exhiben una imagen de un único evento caótico, truncado y siempre en expansión, del sistema en el que el caos se está divulgando. Esto genera la impresión de que los eventos caóticos son únicos y una vez que comienzan, aumentan su intensidad ad infinitum, tomando eventualmente el control del sistema y permaneciendo para siempre. Con el objetivo de averiguar si es exacto el panorama descrito, se llevó a cabo una investigación con el oscilador no lineal amortiguado y forzado (ONLAF). Se encontró una diversidad de eventos caóticos y, que los mismos tienen un inicio y un final, es decir, son temporales. Se descubrió además que los eventos caóticos generan inicialmente una serie de bifurcaciones del periodo, incrementando su intensidad y, luego mediante colapsos de las mencionadas bifurcaciones, su intensidad disminuye gradualmente, hasta que el caos desaparece. Se reportan los mayores exponentes de Lyapunov de los eventos caóticos mostrados, así como algunas observaciones generales sobre los eventos caóticos en el ONLAF.

Stapled hemorrhoidopexy versus open hemorrhoidectomy: a comparative study of short term results
Authors: Sachin Idoor D. , Muruganathan Om Prakash
Published: December 2016

Background: Hemorrhoids are usually managed by surgical hemorrhoidectomy which is associated with postoperative pain, long hospital stay and a longer convalescence. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a newer alternative for the treatment of hemorrhoids. In this study, the two methods were compared for short term outcomes.Methods: Hundred patients having grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids and who fulfilled the criteria were included in the study from June 2012 to May 2014. Fifty patients underwent stapled hemorrhoidopexy and other fifty underwent open hemorrhoidectomy. All patients were reviewed immediately after surgery and at 1, 3, 6 weeks and 6 months post-operatively. The two groups were compared for duration of surgery, hospital stay, return to work and post-operative complications.Results: The mean (S.D.) age was 40.06 (10.33) in our study. The majority of patients in the study were males and had grade 4 haemorrhoids. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy group had shorter duration of surgery, less postoperative pain and need for analgesia, shorter duration of hospital stay and earlier return to work and a high patient satisfaction as compared with open hemorrhoidectomy group. There were no major post-operative complications, recurrence, residual prolapse or incontinence in the follow up period of six months in the stapled group.Conclusions: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a safer alternative to open hemorrhoidectomy with many short-term benefits.

Published: December 2016

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is among the most common disabling diseases which may cause pain and decrease in functional status. It is the commonest form of arthritis and is most prevalent in the elderly, with 50% of adults aged 65-75 years and almost 70% of those 75+ years suffer from this disease. The aim of this study was to investigate consistency of radiologic findings with histomorphologic structure of bone in patients with severe gonarthrosis.Methods: 62 knees of 57 patients over 60 years old who had stage 3-4 gonarthrosis according to Kellgren-Lawrence classification were included in the study. Patients were separated into two groups as having stage 3 or stage 4 gonarthrosis. All the patients underwent total knee replacement procedure. During the operation distal femoral medial/lateral condyle and proximal tibial medial/lateral plateau were removed and sent to histologic examination for the measurement of thickness of cartilage layer and subchondral bone, number and thickness of trabeculae, space between two trabeculae.Results: Average thickness of subchondral bone was measured at stage 3 gonarthrosis and at stage 4 gonarthrosis. Only the difference between medial tibial condyle values of two groups was statistically significant. Average trabecula thickness was measured both at stage 3 and at stage 4 gonarthrosis. Only the difference between lateral tibial condyle values of two groups was statistically significant. Furthermore, as for the number of trabeculas and cavity between trabeculae, a significant difference couldn’t be found.Conclusions: Despite having radiological differences two groups can be said to show similar histopathological characteristics.
Anterior referencing versus posterior referencing in total knee arthroplasty: a prospective observational study
Authors: Choudhary Preetesh , Bahre Skand , Tantuway Vinay , Nagla Ashok , Jain Avinash , Gupta Rishi
Published: December 2016

Background: Femoral component rotation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is essential for patella-femoral tracking, ﬂexion gap balance and normal kinematic function of the knee. The two referencing techniques used for sizing and adjudging the femoral rotation are anterior referencing (AR) and posterior referencing (PR).The current study was designed so as to identify which referencing system determines the femoral rotation more accurately.

Methods: This study involved 34 consecutive patients (22 females and 12 males) with 60 osteoarthritic knees (bilateral=26; unilateral =8) who satisﬁed the inclusion criteria. The trans-epicondylar axis, was taken as gold standard to adjudge the correct femoral rotation and was marked as E. The axis of rotation as per anterior instrumentation (A), and as per posterior instrumentation (P) were marked and compared as to which of the axis (A or P) was parallel to E.

Results: A was always parallel to E, however P was parallel to E in 42 knees. In 18 knees (6 with valgoid deformity, 12 with hypertrophic osteoarthritis involving the medial femoral condyle), P and E tend to converge laterally, suggestive of excessive internal rotation.

Conclusions: Anterior referencing determines femoral rotation more accurately than posterior referencing for knees with severe valgoid deformity or those with hypertrophic osteoarthritis involving the overgrowth of medial femoral condyle.
IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DO PROGRAMA BOLSA FAMÍLIA: UM ESTUDO NO MUNICÍPIO DE PEDRO AVELINO/RN.
Authors: Araújo Richard Medeiros , Viana Jamile Aracelly De Souza , Chacon Virgina Maria De Morais
Published: December 2016

Este Paper objetivou avaliar a implementação do Programa Bolsa Família focado a condicionalidade da educação municipal de Pedro Avelino, Rio Grande do Norte. Metodologicamente foi utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados 02 (dois) questionários, um destinado ao Secretário Municipal de Educação e outro a Gestora do Programa Bolsa Família. As informações foram tratadas pela técnica de análise de conteúdo, promovida a partir das informações coletadas, tendo como suporte a abordagem qualitativa. Dentre os principais resultados tem-se as dificuldades relatadas através da gestora do programa ao enfrentar a implantação do sistema, dificuldades essas caracterizadas por falta de autonomia para as tomadas de decisões, isso foi resolvido quando a secretária de assistência social passou soberania para a gestora. Pode destacar também a falta de capacitação dos três setores, uma vez que o sistema é alimentado por saúde, educação e assistência social. Destacou que, a equipe está assistida de equipamentos para suprir as necessidades, deixando a desejar somente, na conexão de internet. Com isso, conclui-se que a política pública implementada ajuda a minimizar a evasão escolar do município, uma vez que uma das condicionalidades adotadas para o recebimento regular do benefício exige de seus beneficiários a frequência na escola.
Educação escolar como direito: a escolarização do preso nas legislações penal e educacional
Authors: Almeida Julio Gomes , Santos Rogério Queiroz dos
Published: December 2016

O presente artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que assumiu como objeto de estudo a garantia de direito à educação às pessoas que se encontram privadas de liberdade. Os objetivos foram discutir como esse direito é tratado na legislação penal e na educacional bem como identificar ações desenvolvidas pelo poder público do estado de São Paulo com vistas à efetivação desse direito. No desenvolvimento da pesquisa, recorremos a dois corpos teóricos e legais. Por um lado, autores reconhecidos no campo da educação e legislação que organizam esse campo e, de outro, autores com produção significativa no campo do direito penal e legislação a ele relacionada. Como princípio e horizonte foram assumidos os preceitos da carta constitucional de 1988.  No que concerne às ações com vistas à garantia desse direito, verifica-se que elas têm advindo tanto do governo federal quanto do governo estadual, porém precisam ser ampliadas e orientadas no sentido de colocar no centro da questão prisional a desigualdade social.

Published: December 2016

Qualidade é conceito polissêmico, conforme concepções e interesses das arenas de poder da Educação Superior. Essas concepções têm assimetrias entre a iniciativa privada e o setor público, podendo mascarar pedagogias de gerenciamento e performatividade. O artigo aborda a qualidade na avaliação da Educação Superior como conceito em disputa entre a avaliação como um processo de caráter formativo e emancipatório e como um referencial básico da regulação. Essa disputa explicita a polissemia da qualidade na avaliação, ressaltando a perspectiva regulatória presente no sistema educacional brasileiro.

Turbulence in continuous flow surface aeration systems
Authors: Sharma Anurag , Devi Thiyam Tamphasana , Kumar Bimlesh
Published: December 2016

Turbulence characteristics in an optimal continuous surface aeration system were investigated in this study. The experimental system consists of a rectangular tank, where flow is driven by equally spaced aerators placed on the liquid surface. The mass-transfer coefficient and turbulent parameters at the tank's inlet and outlet were measured to enable analysis of their interdependent relationships. The turbulence parameters are linked closely to the system's mass-transfer process. Turbulent bursting analysis has shown that ejection and sweep events govern the hydrodynamics of the systems. Turbulent intensity increases with increasing speed of rotation, and consequently the mass-transfer coefficient also increases. The universal probability distribution functions of the velocity fluctuations in continuous flow surface aeration systems follow the Gram-Charlier series, based on exponential distribution, and the theoretical and experimental curves match.

Published: December 2016

The key to increase the level of life expectancy is good health. To study the indicators of cardiovascular health in the population of the Carpathian region, the analysis of the indicators of cardiovascular disease prevalence over the period 1998-2014 was made. The analysis was conducted based on statistical data of the Regional Information-Analytical Center of Medical Statistics and medical records of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Cardiology Dispensary over the period 1998-2014.To identify the population structure in Ivano-Frankivsk region, the analysis of the main demographic indices over the period 1998-2014 was made. The analysis revealed that in 2007, the total population of the Carpathian region was 1,386,000 people while in 2014, it was 1,379,400 people that was 1.05% and 5.76% lower compared to the total population in 1998 (1,463,600 people). Similar tendency was observed across the whole country. During the studied period, the indicators of the overall prevalence of hypertension (all forms) increased by 2.89 times while the indicators of primary disease incidence increased by 1.89 times. The indicator of the overall prevalence of ischemic heart disease among the adult population of Ivano-Frankivsk region during the studied period increased by 2.11 times ranging from 9780.3 to 20629.1 cases per 100,000 population. It should be noted that since 2012 a reduction in the prevalence of angina pectoris from 6545.7 to 6126.2 cases per 100,000 population (by 1.07 times) was observed. The increase in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction from 81 to 108.2 cases per 100,000 population (by 1.34 times) was detected as well. Cardiovascular diseases are known to be the most urgent problem of modern health care system having no geographical, socioeconomic and sexual preferences. They remain to be the major cause of mortality accounting for about 17,300,000 cases per year.Conclusions. Thus, important factors affecting life expectancy of Ivano-Frankivsk region residents include morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases which have increased recently.

The Politics of Putting Art on Film: Derek May and the National Film Board of Canada
Authors: Russell Catherine
Published: December 2016

Derek May is an exceptional Canadian film maker who brings both political understanding and the aesthetic sensibility of his own formal art training to his documentaries. This article examines May’s contribution to putting art on film by analyzing his three National Film Board documentaries, Sananguagat: Inuit Masterworks of 1000 Years, Pictures from the 1930s, and Off the Wall, against the background of the NFB’s traditional representation of the graphic arts and artists. The author concludes that May’s three art films remove art from the aesthetic vacuum of “Canadiana” and resituate it in a socialized/politicized world where we can discover how things happen but rarely why.
Competitive Federalism: The Case of Direct Delivery of Federal Programs
Authors: Savoie Donald J.
Published: December 2016

During the early 1980s, the federal government put in place a number of measures designed to shift the pendulum of power away from the provinces. One of these measures was a new direct delivery approach to a number of programs which in the past were delivered by provincial governments under federal-provincial cost-shared agreements. This paper reviews the direct delivery approach and points to a number of difficulties. It also argues that the approach could well produce the direct opposite of what is intended and hold important consequences for both the federal government and Canadian federalism.
Teaching and Research in Maritimes Politics: Old Stereotypes and New Directions
Authors: Young R.A.
Published: December 2016

The teaching of Maritimes politics has been led by research, and the dominant view which has informed both for some years is that politics in the region revolves around partisanship, parties, elections, and patronage. This image is now woefully inadequate, if not entirely wrong. The economic structures which underpinned the traditional party systems have eroded, and the scale and scope of state activities impede the selective distribution of benefits through partisan networks. In this era of active and pervasive states, teaching and research should focus first upon what governments actually do — that is, upon the nature and impact of public policy in the region. As well as presenting this argument, this paper provides a brief introduction to such studies.
The Welfare State Since 1975
Authors: Moscovitch Allan
Published: December 2016

Since the middle of the 1970s the welfare state has been under attack in several major western countries. In Canada (except perhaps in British Columbia) social expenditures and social programmes have not been significantly cut back. Instead, they have steadily eroded despite increasing demands from a growing dependent population. This erosion has been effected through a variety of means: a shift to more selective social programmes, the addition of premiums and user fees, and the privatization of social services. More families and unattached individuals in the bottom quintile of the distribution of income are finding themselves increasingly dependent on social benefits for their income. Cutbacks have an immediate effect on the standard of living of the dependent population, particularly single parent women, children, and the elderly.
Pulling in Double Harness or Hauling a Double Load: Women, Work and Feminism on the Canadian Prairie
Authors: Strong-Boag Veronica
Published: December 2016

For all its limited legislative gains, prairie feminism did not disappear with the suffrage victories. Barred as before from the inner circles of power in their society and lacking any strong tradition of looking to public politics for a solution to their problems, women carried on a discourse outside of the public world of male politics. In the 1920s and 1930s theirs was the feminism of the workplace, of day-to-day life, a feminist politics directed to the amelioration of women’s situation in the private sphere. This "working feminism" may have lacked the prominence of the suffrage campaigns but it kept alive the challenge to male privilege.
Hysteria and Insanity in Women: A Nineteenth-Century Canadian Perspective
Authors: Mitchinson Wendy
Published: December 2016

In the late nineteenth century, the Canadian medical profession became concerned about the increasing problem of nervous disorders. Of special interest was the link physicians made between hysteria, and to a lesser degree insanity, and gender. By examining that link we can get closer to nineteenth-century perceptions of women and evaluate the strength of biological determinism. Instead of comparing ill women to healthy women, physicians compared them to healthy men. Thus the image of woman as the weaker sex was reinforced.
Native Art as Art History: Meaning and Time from Unwritten Sources
Authors: Vastokas Joan M.
Published: December 2016

Investigation of prehistoric and post-contact art of native North America presents new challenges to art history. Current theory and method in the discipline are inadequate to the task of reconstructing both the chronology and cultural meanings of especially prehistoric art. Although other circumstances have their role to play in the neglect of native art history by the discipline, it is largely the lack of written documents which poses the greatest difficulty. The methodological position that an authentic and valid art “history” requires the support of written records, however, is no longer tenable.
Peoples of Plenty: A Note on Agriculture as a Planning Metaphor and National Character in North America
Authors: Lapping Mark B.
Published: December 2016

American planners and policy-makers have consistently argued that the failure of effective farmland preservation strategies is a result of the property rights conundrum. Yet the failure of Canadian jurisdictions, in which the property rights argument is not operative, to implement progressive programming is nearly as great as in the United States. The Canadian example indicates that even where these factors do not exist, policy is not necessarily more enlightened. The one exception is within Quebec, where an alternative perspective is operative which questions just how abundant the province’s food resources really are. Quebec’s experience illustrates that North America’s poor record on land use planning is not due mainly to legal concepts and structures, but rather to more traditional weaknesses of planning policy — the absence of nerve, vision, and commitment.
Patronage Observed
Authors: Haggan Reeves
Published: December 2016

The power of appointment is one of the principal means by which a Prime Minister can see to it that his goals and direction are given effect. Persons who have been politically active as volunteer party workers and as elected officers together constitute an excellent source for discretionary appointees. The merit system, although admirable in intent and function, is of limited application in the case of a position that will, to a large extent, be defined by the incumbent. In the end there may be only two ways to fill the most important posts: by the choice of the collectivity, i.e., election; or by the choice of an individual, i.e., patronage.
Le sens du patronage politique
Authors: Lemieux Vincent
Published: December 2016

Le patronage politique suppose des relations entre patrons et clients, mais aussi la compétition des patrons avec des rivaux et l’intervention de supérieurs en faveur des clients. Des conditions politiques, administratives, socio-économiques et culturelles favorisent la pratique du patronage, en définissent les enjeux et en dessinent les modalités. Toujours, cependant, les patrons sont les célébrants d’un jeu de relations de pouvoir où le relâchement des hiérarchies à l’avantage du client est échangé contre un resserrement de celles-ci à l’avantage du patron. Les premières années de l’actuel gouvernement conservateur, à Ottawa, peuvent être interprétées à l’aide de ces notions.
An Assessment of Northern Land Use Planning in Canada
Authors: Payne R.J. , Graham R.
Published: December 2016

The Canadian federal government has recently embarked upon a needed land use planning initiative for the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories. This paper considers that initiative in the light of the experience of land use planning in the northern part of the Canadian province of Ontario. Subjecting both the federal proposal and the Ontario experience to analysis by four critical factors — enabling legislation, use-preservation spectrum, public involvement, and decision-making structure — the paper concludes that the federal initiative seems quite similar to Ontario’s and, as a result, likely to be incapable of providing the sort of innovative solutions required in northern Canada.
Equal Pay for Work of Equal Value: An Historical Note
Authors: Flanagan Thomas
Published: December 2016

"Equal pay for work of equal value" (EV) has now been legislated in several Canadian jurisdictions. Advocates of EV have often contended that such legislation was necessary for Canada to fulfill its obligations under the Equal Remuneration Convention of the International Labour Organization. But a review of the historical evidence shows that the traditional ILO standard, with which Canada has long been in compliance, was actually "equal pay for equal work" (EW). EV has only recently been differentiated from EW by feminists. The concept of EV is a "talismanic word" used by a pressure group as a political weapon; its importance is rhetorical rather than analytical.
One Unit Was Too Many: The Failure to Develop a Canadian Social Housing Policy in the Great Depression
Authors: Bacher John
Published: December 2016

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, a new concern and interest emerged among builders, architects, social workers, and trade unions in public housing. These groups all viewed public housing as an excellent way to reduce unemployment and to meet the shelter needs of low income people. This new concern did not, however, produce effective government programs to improve the housing conditions of needy Canadian families. Instead, the conservative outlook of senior cabinet ministers and civil servants in the King and Bennett governments insured that the new federal housing programs would only serve the top 20 percent of Canadian households in terms of income. Pressures for change would be eased by the development of programs that stimulated new home construction and rehabilitation, but could only be afforded by a relatively affluent minority of Canadian families.
"Dream, Comfort, Memory, Despair": Canadian Popular Musicians and the Dilemma of Nationalism, 1968-1972
Authors: Wright Robert A.
Published: December 2016

English-Canadian popular music matured thematically and economically amid the euphoric nationalism of the Centennial era. Ironically, this maturation owed less to the benevolence of the newly-created CRTC and the adulation of the nationalist music press in Canada than it did to the influence of American folk-protest music. Much Canadian pop music in these years appeared stridently anti-American, but, in truth, thoughtful Canadian song-writers like Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were suspicious of the new Canadian nationalism and profoundly ambivalent about the United States. Revulsion for “official” America and sympathy for American youth combined in the songs of these musicians to produce some of the most poignant pop music of the Sixties generation.
Rationality and the Informational Environment: A Reassessment of the Work of Harold Adams Innis
Authors: Neill Robin
Published: December 2016

The advent of rational expectations theory in economics, coupled with recent experimental analysis in decision theory, has re-emphasized the importance of the informational environment of economic behaviour. It is now more widely recognized that subjectively rational decisions, because they are bounded by the constraints of an imperfect (biased) informational environment, produce non-rational outcomes. Further, it is now evident that Harold Innis’s work on communications was an attempt to describe the historical pattern of these non-rational results. In short, recent work in theory and empirical analysis has clarified the significance of Innis’s work and given it a firm foundation in positivist experimental science.
Gracefal Athleticism or Robust Womanhood: The Sporting Culture of Women in Victorian Nova Scotia, 1870-1914
Authors: Smith Michael
Published: December 2016

In the hope of directing Nova Scotian girls towards healthy womanhood, a number of physical regimens were employed during the last third of the nineteenth century. These regimens promoted the idea of an appropriate balance of physical and mental activity and sought to cultivate elegance, grace, and an athletic and healthy form. By the turn of the century, however, the fear that robust exercise and competitive sporting activity were exerting a masculinizing influence and encouraging women to operate beyond their "proper sphere" led some reformers to attempt to redefine once more the nature of women’s sporting activity.
Culture, State Formation and the Invention of Tradition: Newfoundland 1832-1855
Authors: McCann Phillip
Published: December 2016

The main theme of this paper is the way in which the governing administration of the British colony of Newfoundland, between the grant of Representative Government in 1832 and the achievement of Responsible Government in 1855, fostered and promoted a nativist culture and patriotic outlook in the population at large. Particular attention is paid to the governorship of Sir John Harvey (1841-46) and his attempt to overcome the religious and political tensions of the 1830s by forming a state based on social harmony and sensé of colonial patriotism. In this process, various social rituals and festivities expressive of nativism, patriotism and local culture were invented. These rapidly came to be seen as "traditional," and together with the institutionalization of denominationalism entered the social consciousness of Newfoundlanders in the succeeding period.
Signification and Legitimacy in Public Policy Debate: The Canadian Public and the Politics of Language in Canadian Broadcasting Development
Authors: Fortner Robert S.
Published: December 2016

Private broadcasters, organized interest groups, and the Canadian public all contended to have their versions of the “public interest” achieve the legitimacy necessary to define the character of early radio. As the federal government struggled to respond to their various demands, public policy was created which eventually saw the "realities" of politics and economics overpower less well-organized interests. Canadian radio developed in an environment defined by these "realities." On major questions concerning invasion of privacy, religious programming, commercial “propaganda,” and Canadian identity, these groups offered conflicting interpretations of Canada. Their symbolic constructs offered contrasting alternatives in the fluid political environment of the 1920s and 1930s.
Durham in the East? India and the Idea of Responsible Government 1858-1939
Authors: Darwin John
Published: December 2016

India’s constitutional future in the 1920s and 1930s was as controversial as Canada’s had been in the 1830s and 1840s. The debate among British policy-makers and Indian politicians turned on the appropriateness of responsible government and a federal constitution in Indian circumstances. British and Indians alike looked back to Canadian precedents, and Sir John Simon apparently saw himself as the Durham of India. Strikingly, both those who denounced and those who favoured the idea of a federal Dominion of India cited Canadian experience to support their case.
Durham and Robinson: Political Faction and Moderation
Authors: Ajzenstat Janet
Published: December 2016

A comparison of Lord Durham’s Report on the Affairs of British North America and John Beverley Robinson’s Canada and the Canada Bill — both responses to the 1837 Rebellion — shows the British whig and Canadian tory advancing surprisingly similar arguments. This comparison provides the basis for a critique of Gad Horowitz’s claim that the Upper Canada Loyalists and tories represented a ‘collectivist’ tendency in political thought, and of Peter J. Smith’s and Gordon T. Stewart’s suggestion that the tory ideology was ‘statist.’ Because they fail to do justice to the nineteenth-century argument for restraining popular participation, they miss an important element of Durham’s liberalism — and the liberal heart of Canadian toryism.
Lord Durham Then and Now
Authors: Cameron David R.
Published: December 2016

The Durham Conference began with a keynote address by David Cameron, former Dean of Arts and Science and member of the Political Studies Department at Trent. His address was also the occasion of the Morton Lecture for 1989 at Trent University, a yearly event honouring W.L. Morton. Examining the Durham Report with special attention to its recommendations concerning French-speaking Canadians in Lower Canada, Cameron traces the evolution of English-French relations in Canada, giving special attention to “the increasingly important phenomenon of multiculturalism” in contemporary Canada. The controversy over publication of Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses provides the opportunity to weigh the issues, conceptual and practical, that result from the blending in Canada of liberal principles and cultural pluralism.
