The article considers the problems of improvement of process control system design of buildings and structures in the conditions of its decentralization. Practice shows that the labor organization in modern design organizations in them in most cases, the remote system that uses the work of designers and engineers working at home on her computer. With this approach, there is the problem of ensuring the required quality of design and estimate documentation. This is due to the fact that most designers use when calculating the specifications and scope of work their "calculators", written in different programming languages. During assembly drawings and specifications, performed "homeworkers" in a central database, there is a huge number of non-conformities related to: using rounding systems; transfer systems from one unit to another; description of the individual materials and products, etc. To overcome this problem, the article proposes to use single reference material resources and WEB interface that allows you to remotely design based on this framework.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar e comparar o nível de percepção dos estudantes dos cursos de graduação do Centro de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (CCA/UFES) em relação aos insetos. Os dados foram coletados por meio do preenchimento de questionários pelos estudantes entre os meses de junho e agosto de 2013. A hipótese testada e comprovada foi a de que os estudantes dos cursos de Agronomia, Ciências Biológicas Bacharelado, Ciências Biológicas Licenciatura, Engenharia Florestal e Zootecnia teriam um maior índice de acertos e maior nível de conscientização, já que apresentam, em sua grade curricular, disciplinas em que o grupo dos insetos é abordado. Os estudantes, em geral, demonstraram percepções ambíguas em relação aos insetos, como sentimentos de “medo”, “nojo” e “curiosidade”, que foi a principal sensação que os insetos causam nos alunos entrevistados. A principal fonte de conhecimento sobre os insetos citada pelos alunos foi a “escola”. Além disso, os discentes estão conscientes dos malefícios e benefícios trazidos pelos insetos, sendo a importância ecológica o benefício mais citado. Portanto, apesar de alguns equívocos na classificação de certos seres vivos como insetos, tendo como base a classificação lineana, os alunos entrevistados, em geral, mostraram-se conscientes da importância desses animais no ecossistema.Entomologic Perception by Undergraduate Students of Federal University of Espírito Santo, ES, Brazil.Abstract. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the level of students' perceptions of the various graduation courses at the Centro de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (CCA/UFES) in relation to insects. Data were collected by completing of a questionnaire by the students between the months of June and August 2013. The tried and tested hypothesis was that students of Agronomy, Bachelor in Biological Science, Biological Science Teacher Education, Forest Engineering and Zootechny have a higher hit rate and a higher level of awareness, since they have in their curriculum, disciplines they the group of insects is discussed. The students generally demonstrated ambiguous perceptions of the insects, as feelings of "fear", "disgust" and “curiosity” which was the main feeling that insects cause in the students interviewed. The main source of knowledge about insects cited by students was the “school”. In addition, are aware of the harms and benefits brought by the insects, and the ecological importance, the most cited benefit. Therefore, despite some mistakes in the classification of certain living being like insects, based on the Linnaean classification, the students interviewed, in general, were shown to be aware of the importance of these animals in the ecosystem.

Treatment of multiple wounds of aplasia cutis congenita on the lower limb: a case report
Authors: Cherubino M. , Maggiulli F. , Dibartolo R. , Valdatta L.
Published: December 2016

Introduction:

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital disease, characterised by absence of skin, that can affect different parts of the body. ACC is more frequent on the scalp, but can involve limbs, with partial-or total-thickness loss of skin, with a functional impairment of the joint affected. There is no clear indication for surgical or conservative treatment, therefore, it would be helpful to find scientific support for the optimal treatment strategies.

Clinical presentation:

We present a case of a newborn female, with six wounds on the inferior limbs, treated with conservative therapy. To prevent infection and promote healing, the defects were kept moist and covered with non-adherent/antimicrobical dressings. Complete wound healing occurred in eight weeks. The duration of follow-up was three years.

Results:

In this kind of ACC with superficial partial-thickness wounds of the lower limbs, conservative treatment was successful. The same conservative treatment can be proposed for larger or deeper wounds of lower limbs with no involvement of underlying structures, with delayed scar excision after the complete growth of the patient. ACC scar excision could require complex tissue rearrangement, tissue expansion, or skin grafting.

Conclusion:

In the evaluation for treatment of ACC of inferior limbs, even in cases of total-thickness skin loss, even on joints, the conservative approach could be considered as the first choice.

Published: December 2016

BACKGROUND

Noninvasive prenatal detection of fetal subchromosomal copy number aberrations (CNAs) can be achieved through massively parallel sequencing of maternal plasma DNA. However, when a mother herself is a carrier of a CNA, one cannot discern if her fetus has inherited the CNA. In addition, false-positive results would become more prevalent when more subchromosomal regions are analyzed.

METHODS

We used a strategy that combined count- and size-based analyses of maternal plasma DNA for the detection of fetal subchromosomal CNAs in 7 target regions for 10 test cases.

RESULTS

For the 5 cases in which CNAs were present only in the fetus, the size-based approach confirmed the aberrations detected by the count-based approach. For the 5 cases in which the mother herself carried an aberration, we successfully deduced that 3 of the fetuses had inherited the aberrations and that the other 2 fetuses had not inherited the aberrations. No false positives were observed in this cohort.

CONCLUSIONS

Combined count- and size-based analysis of maternal plasma DNA permits the noninvasive elucidation of whether a fetus has inherited a CNA from its mother who herself is a carrier of the CNA. This strategy has the potential to improve the diagnostic specificity of noninvasive prenatal testing.

BACKGROUND

Despite advances in next generation DNA sequencing (NGS), NGS-based single gene tests for diagnostic purposes require improvements in terms of completeness, quality, speed, and cost. Single-molecule molecular inversion probes (smMIPs) are a technology with unrealized potential in the area of clinical genetic testing. In this proof-of-concept study, we selected 2 frequently requested gene tests, those for the breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, and developed an automated work flow based on smMIPs.

METHODS

The BRCA1 and BRCA2 smMIPs were validated using 166 human genomic DNA samples with known variant status. A generic automated work flow was built to perform smMIP-based enrichment and sequencing for BRCA1, BRCA2, and the checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) c.1100del variant.

RESULTS

Pathogenic and benign variants were analyzed in a subset of 152 previously BRCA-genotyped samples, yielding an analytical sensitivity and specificity of 100%. Following automation, blind analysis of 65 in-house samples and 267 Norwegian samples correctly identified all true-positive variants (>3000), with no false positives. Consequent to process optimization, turnaround times were reduced by 60% to currently 10–15 days. Copy number variants were detected with an analytical sensitivity of 100% and an analytical specificity of 88%.

CONCLUSIONS

smMIP-based genetic testing enables automated and reliable analysis of the coding sequences of BRCA1 and BRCA2. The use of single-molecule tags, double-tiled targeted enrichment, and capturing and sequencing in duplo, in combination with automated library preparation and data analysis, results in a robust process and reduces routine turnaround times. Furthermore, smMIP-based copy number variation analysis could make independent copy number variation tools like multiplex ligation-dependent probes amplification dispensable.

Published: December 2016

O desempenho humano tem sido estudado em face às limitações impostas ao ambiente e que refletem no desempenho do colaborador. Para que os erros humanos sejam minimizados é necessário que sejam analisados e propostas medidas mitigatórias. O objetivo do estudo é adicionar o tipo de erro "lapso" a estrutura proposta por Vilela (2013). Posteriormente, é realizada uma análise de agrupamentos para observar quais modos de falha, comportamento elementar e processo de Berliner que causaram mais interrupções de energia elétrica entre os anos de 1998 e 2009. Para tanto, a metodologia foi baseada em uma análise de agrupamentos a qual auxiliou na divisão dos erros humanos por grupos de características semelhantes, fornecendo assim uma identificação mais realística do comportamento humano que ocasionou o erro. Por conseguinte, essa pesquisa fornece suporte para uma proposição de soluções que possam contribuir para a redução dos erros humanos. O resultado da análise de agrupamento identificou os grupos 3 e 4 como os maiores ocasionadores de interrupções de energia elétrica. Também foi realizada a mensuração dos custos envolvidos na interrupção de energia elétrica, evidenciado o alto valor do faturamento perdido pela empresa no período estudado.
Servitization: organizational implications and acquisition of competencies
Authors: Ferreira Junior Silas Costa , Silva Marcia Terra da
Published: December 2016

Servitization is a strategic move in which firms —usually manufacturers in high value-added industries— expand their offerings by bundling core products with additional services. This article aims to study the transition toward servitization from an organizational perspective, because the required organizational changes are among the main difficulties to overcome. The Star Model of organizational design was employed to describe and explain how such changes, in terms of strategy, structure, processes, people and rewards, were carried out in the textbook publishing industry. It is a particularly interesting sector, which has increasingly offered services and digital content, bundled with the printed textbook. A multi-case research was conducted in three textbook publishers in Brazil, focusing on their relationship with a key customer: the private primary and secondary schools. Data collected from the publishers’ reports as well as interviews in the publishers and in the schools they serve, were analyzed and compiled in descriptive insights. Evidence suggest the adaptation of the publishers’ capabilities and processes included changes in mindset to better understand the customer’s needs; the acquisition of new competencies, usually by hiring former school employees with experience and interpersonal skills; and stronger integration between services (commercial) and product development (editorial) teams. The insights herein provided may encourage managers to evaluate and revise their current or future transition toward servitization.

Published: December 2016

A assistência técnica das empresas construtoras, ao acumular informações sobre problemas recorrentes após a ocupação de imóveis, serve como uma fonte de aprendizado para empreendimentos posteriores. Assim sendo, iniciou-se um estudo a partir da análise de arquivos em uma construtora cearense, o que mostrou a presença significativa de reparos ligados aos Sistemas Prediais Hidráulicos e Sanitários (SPHS) em detrimento de outros sistemas construtivos. Posteriormente, a partir de observações, de análise de documentos e de entrevistas em três construtoras locais, realizou-se uma análise do fluxo da informação no setor de assistência técnica das construtoras e a comunicação destas com os escritórios de projetos de SPHS. Com isso, constatou-se que a retroalimentação das informações desses projetos ainda não é uma realidade entre as empresas, mas os projetistas gostariam de receber esse feedback sobre a qualidade de seus produtos. Considerando, a partir do estudo realizado, que as empresas precisam de maior gerenciamento para conseguir reutilizar as informações oriundas do setor de assistência técnica, foi proposto um modelo com uma sequência de passos para a criação de diretrizes de projetos embasadas na coleta organizada de dados nesse setor.
Identification and qualitative comparison of performance indicators of industrial symbiosis
Authors: Mantese Gabriel Couto , Amaral Daniel Capaldo
Published: December 2016

Industrial symbiosis is the exchange of by-products, energy and water between industries, centered on a collective approach, and in order to achieve competitive advantages. It is central to the concept of eco-industrial park and requires continuous monitoring by the professionals involved. Indicators have been proposed and the objective of this work is to identify and describe the indicators present in the literature, and then make a conceptual comparison. In a total of seven indicators, the ISI (Industrial Symbiosis Indicator), from Felicio et al. (2016), stands out due to the amount of its positive features, bigger than the others, and for facilitating the indication of trends. The Environmental Impact indicator, from Trokanas et al. (2015), also stands out, but for considering the financial and energy consumption aspects, inherent in the industrial symbiosis networks. The others indicators have serious problems, including superficiality and difficulty of application. A combination of both would be the best alternative, but further research is recommended with more robust assessments, based on cases or simulations.

Published: December 2016

As indústrias de manufatura estão sempre em busca de novas formas para se manter competitivas e atender as expectativas de seus clientes. Uma destas formas é através do oferecimento de serviços atrelados aos seus produtos. Essa tendência é conhecida como servitização. A metodologia TraPSS tem como objetivo fornecer suporte ao processo de tomada de decisão de uma empresa que deseja evoluir no seu grau de servitização ao longo do contínuo PSS (Product Service System). O objetivo desse trabalho é aplicação desta metodologia e a sua avaliação. Um estudo de caso foi feito a partir de dados obtidos na literatura de duas empresas: uma de telecomunicações e a outra do ramo automobilístico. Estas empresas já haviam sido objeto de estudo do tema servitização, mas em outro contexto. Constatou-se que o método é plenamente aplicável para os fins pretendidos, desde que seja utilizado de forma prescritiva a partir de uma sequência de etapas lógicas pré-estabelecidas. Por outro lado, concluiu-se também que a metodologia não é simples, e, portanto, não é aplicável a qualquer negócio, não podendo sua utilização ser generalizada, uma vez que sua aplicação é adequada para empresas que possuam modelo de gestão maduro e colaboradores com alto grau de competência técnica e administrativa.

The tidal flood inundating the North Pekalongan Sub-district to the radius of three kilometers from the beach. There were eight villages which stagnated by the tidal flood, include the Village Pabean and Village Bandengan. The adaptive capacity of society needs to be improved to deal with the tidal flood. This study aims to assess the adaptive capacity of coastal communities Pekalongan against the tidal flood vulnerability by using the quantitative methods with scoring and descriptive statistical analysis to synthesize the results of the analysis. Adaptive capacity assessed at the level of individuals, communities and cities. This analysis also based on the physical, social and economic aspects. The result of the analysis showed that at the individual level, both of these villages, the level of the adaptive community was low. It was caused by the low ability of communities to repair houses. This level of adaptive capacity was also influenced by the level of education and income levels. At the community level, the level of adaptive capacity was determined by the ability of communities to improve infrastructure. This level of adaptive capacity was also determined by the existence of the organization and the ability to raise funds. It could be known that the level of adaptive capacity at the community level was moderate. At the city level, the government was able to adapt by providing technological and institutional. Society needs to increase the adaptive capacity by improving the ability of the economy, in addition, to optimizing the performance of government and non-government organizations.

Published: December 2016

Pekalongan City is known as the batik city. Thus it has the city branding as "Pekalongan World's City of Batik." This branding is a result of people’s daily activity related to batik. Pekalongan has 860 batik industries in 2013 and have the specialization in the production activities and subcontracting partnerships. Most of the batik industries do not do the production process entirely by themselves, but by joining to the other industries with a particular specialization. This study aims to determine the specialization of production activities and subcontracting partnership in Pekalongan batik cluster. The results of this study show that there is a majority of ‘batik cap’ industries that is equal to 82% of the total industries in Pekalongan. The specializations consist of making the batik, convection, and making of the canting. These specializations are geographically grouped into a center due to the endowment factors such as labors, land, and infrastructures. Specialization of production activities also leads to partnership subcontracting in the batik cluster, which is known by a factor of specialty subcontracting. The subcontracting partnership gives negative and positive impacts, such as the reliance between the subcontractor and the principal, efficiency of production factors, and cost efficiency.

Epoxy polymer with damage indicating ability was very usable for ships and bridges to detect the cracks at an early stage and to prevent corrosion. 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF), as a damage indicator, was used to report the mechanical damage of epoxy-amine polymer by a strong color change from a light yellow to bright red due to the molecular structure transition from the acid molecular form to the base ion form. The effect of water on damage indicator and damaged epoxy-amine polymer film was evaluated by an immersion test and the properties were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), zeta potential and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that DCF was an easy, stable and permanent indicator for epoxy-amine polymer and the water only had a slight influence on the indication stability of damaged epoxy polymer.
‘Fraud’ and ‘Misleading Commercial Practices’: Modernising the Law of Defects in Consent
Authors: Patti Francesco Paolo
Published: December 2016

The rules provided by the civil codes on defects in consent were designed at a time when the notion of consumer law did not exist and fairness at the pre-contractual stage was not widely considered as a value worthy of protection. Matters have changed radically in the last three decades. The proliferation of rules protecting consumers on a European level, especially through information duties and rights of withdrawal, and the growing impact of general clauses, has led to a fragmentation of domestic contract law. This clash of different sets of rules is particularly conspicuous in the field of unfair commercial practices as the European legislator has not made provision for specific private law remedies for individual consumers in cases of misleading and aggressive commercial practices. This article addresses the particular issue of the applicability of the law of fraudulent misrepresentation to cases of misleading commercial practices. The purpose is to reconsider ‘fraud’ in terms of a defect in consent, in a manner that is both more in line with the modern features of European contract law and better able to counteract new market strategies based on exploiting cognitive weaknesses. The focus is thus put on the relationship between pre-contractual information duties and defective consent, as well as on some insights of law and economics, which demonstrate that ‘consent theories’ or ‘will theories’ cannot provide precise criteria to indicate when a contract should be void. In conclusion, a possible legislative intervention aiming to substitute the rules on fraud for a set of remedies for violation of information duties is discussed.
Investment Bankers in Conflict: The Regime of Inducements in MiFID II and the Member States’ Struggle for Fairness
Authors: Papaconstantinou George A.
Published: December 2016

This article sheds light on the new legal treatment of inducements, under the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, and seeks to address the question whether or not that regime is beneficial for market participants. Inducements constitute a common practice of day-to-day conduct of business by financial institutions. Accordingly, the rules that define their realm of operation are quintessential for both investment firms and investors. The relevant paradigm of conflicts of interest is used. MiFID II has to be implemented only by 3 January 2018. However, the forthcoming regime on inducements derives from gold-plating practices that are already in place in the UK. An examination and assessment of the impact of inducements policy and their adverse effect on retail investors in the UK is an adequate apparatus to draw parallels from. After highlighting the inherent problems of the EU provisions on inducements, an enhanced framework is designed.

This cross-sectional study compared somatic, endurance performance determinants and heart rate variability (HRV) profiles of professional soccer players divided into different age groups: GI (17–19.9 years; n = 23), GII (20–24.9 years; n = 45), GIII (25–29.9 years; n = 30), and GIV (30–39 years; n = 26). Players underwent somatic and HRV assessment and maximal exercise testing. HRV was analyzed by spectral analysis of HRV, and high (HF) and low (LF) frequency power was transformed by a natural logarithm (Ln). Players in GIV (83 ± 7 kg) were heavier (p < 0.05) compared to both GI (73 ± 6 kg), and GII (78 ± 6 kg). Significantly lower maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max, ml•kg-1•min-1) was observed for GIV (56.6 ± 3.8) compared to GI (59.6 ± 3.9), GII (59.4 ± 4.2) and GIV (59.7 ± 4.1). All agegroups, except for GII, demonstrated comparable relative maximal power output (Pmax). For supine HRV, significantly lower Ln HF (ms2) was identified in both GIII (7.1 ± 0.8) and GIV (6.9 ± 1.0) compared to GI (7.9 ± 0.6) and GII (7.7 ± 0.9). In conclusion, soccer players aged >25 years showed negligible differences in Pmax unlike the age group differences demonstrated in VO2max. A shift towards relative sympathetic dominance, particularly due to reduced vagal activity, was apparent after approximately 8 years of competing at the professional level.

The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological responses during the time limit at the intensity of the peak velocity of the Carminatti’s test (T-CAR). Ten professional futsal players (age, 27.4 ± 5.8 years, body mass, 78.8 ± 8.5 kg, body height, 175.8 ± 6.8 cm, body fat mass, 14.1 ± 2.6%) took part in the study. The players performed three tests, with an interval of at least 48 hours, as follows: the T-CAR to determine the peak velocity and the maximal heart rate; an incremental treadmill protocol to determine the maximal physiological responses; and a time limit running test at the peak velocity reached in the T-CAR. During the last two tests, a portable gas analyzer was used for direct measurement of cardiorespiratory variables. It was shown that the peak velocity was not significantly different from the maximal aerobic speed achieved in the laboratory (p = 0.213). All athletes reached their maximum oxygen uptake during the time limit test. The maximum oxygen uptake achieved during the time limit test was not different from that observed in the laboratory condition (51.1 ± 4.7 vs. 49.6 ± 4.7 ml·kg-1·min-1, respectively, p = 0.100). In addition, Bland and Altman plots evidenced acceptable agreement between them. On average, athletes took ~140 s to achieve maximum oxygen uptake and maintained it for ~180 s. Therefore, the peak velocity intensity can be used as an indicator of maximal aerobic power of futsal athletes and the time limit can be used as a reference for training prescription.

Published: December 2016

The purpose of the study was to compare playing intensity and performance changes within a water-polo match in players of different competitive levels. High-level (n = 7) and lower-level (n = 7) players performed a progressively increasing speed test of 5 x 200 m swimming and speed corresponding to lactate concentration of 4.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mmol•l-1 was calculated. Repeated sprint ability (8 x 20 m) was tested at pre-, the middle and post-match and a 400 m swimming test was completed at pre and post in five water-polo matches. A t-test and a two-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis. High-level compared to lower-level players presented higher speed corresponding to lactate concentration of 4.0 and 5.0 mmol•l-1 (p < 0.05). Regardless of the sports level, the mean heart rate was reduced towards the end of the match. High-level players completed a shorter amount of match time with the heart rate lower than 85% of the peak heart rate (p < 0.05). However, when the speed corresponding to lactate concentration of 4.0 mmol•l-1 was used as a covariate, no differences were observed in the heart rate between groups. Both groups decreased repeated sprint and 400 m performance at post- compared to pre-match by 7 ± 3% and 7 ± 4%, respectively. High-level compared to lower-level players showed better performance in repeated sprints at the middle (p < 0.01) and in pre-, post-match 400 m tests (p < 0.01). It was concluded that high-level compared to lower-level players completed the match at a higher playing intensity and presented a lower performance decrement across the match as a result of their higher aerobic endurance.

The aim of the present study was to identify groups of offensive performance indicators which best discriminated between a match score (favourable, balanced or unfavourable) in water polo. The sample comprised 88 regular season games (2011-2014) from the Spanish Professional Water Polo League. The offensive performance indicators were clustered in five groups: Attacks in relation to the different playing situations; Shots in relation to the different playing situations; Attacks outcome; Origin of shots; Technical execution of shots. The variables of each group had a constant sum which equalled 100%. The data were compositional data, therefore the variables were changed by means of the additive log-ratio (alr) transformation. Multivariate discriminant analyses to compare the match scores were calculated using the transformed variables. With regard to the percentage of right classification, the results showed the group that discriminated the most between the match scores was “Attacks outcome” (60.4% for the original sample and 52.2% for cross-validation). The performance indicators that discriminated the most between the match scores in games with penalties were goals (structure coefficient (SC) = .761), counterattack shots (SC = .541) and counterattacks (SC = .481). In matches without penalties, goals were the primary discriminating factor (SC = .576). This approach provides a new tool to compare the importance of the offensive performance groups and their effect on the match score discrimination.
