A mentira da verdade onto-teo-lógica: logos e areté em performação
Authors: Hardt Lúcia Schneider , Scalla Botelho Danilo José , Mafalda Rodrigo
Published: November 2016

A formação ou paideia seria impensável sem outros dois conceitos, a saber: areté (excelência ou excelência política) e, sobretudo, logos (discurso). O objetivo deste artigo é, portanto, a partir do Prólogo e do capítulo O adivinho, da obra Assim falou Zaratustra, de Nietzsche, diferenciar genealogicamente dois tipos de logoi, que implicam distintas aretai (excelências políticas): um tipo onto-teo-lógico, ligado a alguma verdade incondicional, outro logo-lógico ou performático (sofista), em que se performam verdades condicionais. Tendo como pano de fundo a investigação de Bárbara Cassin acerca do “logos sofista” e como fio condutor o aforismo 1 de Ecce Homo, a hipótese é que Zaratustra, ao questionar uma verdade única ontoteológica e admitir diferenciações, serve-se mais do logos performático – e “farmacológico”, que cria realidades, no sentido de Protágoras – do que o santo e o adivinho. Questiona-se, desse modo, se as democracias e seus respectivos sistemas educativos contemporâneos (com os “partidos” inclusos) seriam suficientemente fortes para aceitar o tensionamento, a erística e a agonística, os nômades, a diferenciação, os que sobram, os que faltam, bem como outro(s) discurso(s) que não o hegemônico (ou “verdadeiro”), que representa “fielmente” o real. O povo não entendeu (o logos de) Zaratustra, preferiu o último homem. Hoje, o entenderia?
Aprendizagem docente do formador: os sentidos na e da docência no contexto do trabalho pedagógico no ensino superior
Authors: Carvalho Pereira Sybelle Regina , Bolzan Doris Pires , Sandri Vanessa
Published: November 2016

Neste artigo, discute-se a aprendizagem docente na educação superior, analisada a partir da dimensão categorial dos sentidos produzidos no contexto profissional. Como objetivo, buscou-se compreender os sentidos produzidos na e da docência no contexto do trabalho pedagógico. Os participantes são docentes dos cursos de licenciatura em Pedagogia (diurno e noturno) de uma instituição de ensino superior pública. Esta investigação qualitativa foi desenvolvida a partir da abordagem narrativa sociocultural. No processo de análise dos achados, identificaram-se os sentidos construídos, que indicam que a aula universitária constitui-se em um lugar de aprendizagem dinamizado pelas relações interpessoais; pelo (re)conhecimento do contexto social e cultural do estudante, o que implica na reflexão acerca da organização pedagógica do ensino, e pelas ações auto e interformativas vividas pelos formadores, originadas pela ideia de inacabamento, uma vez que são sujeitos ensinantes e aprendentes. Compreende-se que tanto os formadores como as instituições de ensino superior necessitam planejar as atividades formativas, considerando a tessitura dos significados compartilhados e os sentidos subjetivados nas relações pedagógicas vividas nos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem. Esses sentidos configuram-se em indicadores que repercutirão na sistematização e criação de processos formativos contextualizados em redes colaborativas a fim de favorecer o desenvolvimento profissional docente.
Psicologia e práticas psicossociais: narrativas e concepções de psicólogos de Centros de Atenção Psicossocial
Authors: Thomé Seni da Silva e Oliveira Thais , Caldana Regina Helena Lima
Published: November 2016

A atenção psicossocial, modelo de cuidado em saúde mental vigente no Brasil, preconiza o trabalho interdisciplinar, intersetorial e territorial. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar concepções de psicólogos dos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial de uma cidade paranaense sobre as práticas psicossociais desenvolvidas em seu cotidiano. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas e encontros grupais, utilizando-se a técnica de Grupo Operativo de Pichón-Rivière. As entrevistas e os grupos foram gravados, transcritos na íntegra e analisados qualitativamente. Os resultados apontam a dicotomia entre o fazer clínico e o fazer psicossocial e a identidade profissional dos participantes atrelada ao modelo clínico tradicional da psicologia. Algumas práticas psicossociais estão gradualmente sendo reconhecidas pelos profissionais como práticas legítimas da Psicologia, e poderiam ser consideradas clínica ampliada dentro da área. Conclui-se que para a efetivação de práticas psicossociais, é imprescindível a transformação nos cursos de formação e a criação de estratégias de educação permanente para os profissionais.
A memória nos textos iniciais de Freud
Authors: Brito Wallace Da Costa , Canavêz Fernanda
Published: November 2016

O artigo objetiva investigar a memória no pensamento freudiano, tomando por base alguns textos daquela que é considerada sua fase pré-psicanalítica. Postula-se a importância dessa temática dentro do conjunto mais amplo da sua inovadora concepção acerca da subjetividade. Trata-se de estudo teórico-conceitual que tem um caráter ensaístico e adota como procedimento a revisão bibliográfica. Notamos que para Freud, desde os primeiros anos de suas pesquisas, a memória se configurou como um elemento notável para a compreensão do psiquismo. Destaca-se, assim, a memória enquanto tema relevante em seu pensamento, bem como sua originalidade em compreendê-la como revestida e permeada pelo inconsciente.

Percepção da doença em pacientes cardíacos: Uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Altenhofen Viviane , Kern de Castro Elisa , Britz de Lima Natália
Published: November 2016

A presente revisão sistemática da literatura teve por objetivo investigar estudos publicados entre 2009 e 2015 que examinaram a percepção da doença em pacientes cardíacos a partir do Modelo do Senso Comum. As buscas foram feitas nas bases de dados PsychInfo, Medline e PubMed. Foram utilizados os descritores: cardiac disease, illness perception, illness representation e illness beliefs. Os resultados mostraram que a percepção da doença cardíaca é associada a consequências graves à vida do paciente, com causas atribuídas a fatores independentes dos comportamentos do indivíduo (causas psicológicas, hereditariedade, vírus, má sorte etc.). Além disso, os pacientes cardíacos acreditam mais no tratamento para o controle da doença do que no seu controle pessoal.
Toward a Constructivist Approach in Saudi Education
Authors: Alsulami Sumayyah
Published: November 2016

In the way to develop the educational system in Saudi Arabia, the emphasis was only on the materials with no more attention for the role of the learner and the teacher in the learning process or even the external factors around them. However, there are many theories and approaches that may help the Saudi students in different levels to understand the real aims of learning. Constructivism is one of the most influential theories in learning but not the only one. Constructivist approach has different versions that might be applied successfully in Saudi context. This article will introduce two versions of constructivism which are cognitive and social constructivism. This approach can make a real change in learners and teachers in the circle of learning process in Saudi Arabia. Constructivism will be presented as an effective theory of knowledge can improve the educational system of Saudi Arabia.

Impact of Biostimulant and Synthetic Hormone Gibberellic acid on Molecular Structure of Solanum melongena L.
Authors: Ganash Magdah A.
Published: November 2016

A comparison study between the application of gibberellic acid (GA3) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a biostimulant on the growth and molecular structures of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) has been carried out through a pot experiment. Growth of Solanum melongena L. increased with exogenous application of GA3 followed by yeast. Chlorophyll contents of plant were enhanced with yeast treatment compared with GA3 application and control. Activitiy of antioxidant enzymes, catalase and peroxidase was increased with increasing concentration of GA3 and S. cerevisiae application particularly with using GA3. HPLC analysis showed the highest concentration of salicylic acid in plant treated with GA3 (104.20 mg) followed by S. cerevisiae (70.00 mg) application compared with the untreated plant (57.86 mg). Six common polypeptide bands were observed in treated and untreated S. melongena plants, their molecular weights were 16, 17, 34, 90, 120 and 150 KDa. While the untreated S. melongena plant is characterized by the presence of 8 polypeptide bands, their molecular weights were 19, 24, 32, 33, 36, 50, 109 and 133 KDa. Yeast treatment increased the number of protein bands to 12 instead of 8 in the control plant with molecular weights 18, 125, 74, 69, 62, 31, 30, 27, 25, 23, 20 and 18 KDa. Three polypeptide bands with molecular weights 25, 72 and 125 KDa were detected in S. cerevisiae and GA3 treated plants. PCR analysis showed that total of 16 amplified fragments was visualized in the tested samples. Eight fragments with different molecular weights, four of them are monomorphic bands while the others are polymorphic unique bands. Plant sample sprayed with yeast showed 5 fragments range in molecular weight between 426 to 1766 bp. Only one of these fragments was unique polymorphic fragment. Four monomorphic fragments range in molecular weight from 426 to 1213 bp were showed up in plant sample sprayed with gibberellic acid.
Architecture of Bacterial Promoters; The case of the Escherichia coli ogt Promoter
Authors: Ansarikaleibari Aida
Published: November 2016

All bacteria utilize RNA polymerase enzyme and transcription activator proteins to regulate gene expression in response to internal or external stress. Some bacterial promoters are regulated with only one transcription factor whilst two or more transcription activators regulate some other promoters. NarL is a transcription activator protein that activates the E. coli yeaR and ogt promoters in response to nitrate and nitrite induction in absence of oxygen. In the present study we have studied ogt1052 promoter, which is a derivative of ogt promoter containing only one NarL binding site very close to -35 element. Therefore, it is considered as class II activator dependent promoter just as yeaR promoter. A molecular structure of ogt1052 promoter was proposed which suggests that NarL binding site is located in opposite face of DNA that contains Alpha-CTD and sigma domain 4 of RNA polymerase enzyme required for promoter recognition. The aim of the present study was to study and test the suggested molecular model by creating point mutations at -35 element and deletion of one base pair in spacer region, to test whether sigma domain 4 is necessary to bind -35 hexamer in order to start transcription initiation, and to test whether NarL activates the promoter by interaction with Alpha-CTD in the opposite face of the DNA. Based on the result achieved, ogt1052 promoter is a class I promoter “dressed” like a class II promoter.
Hierarchical Visual Content Modelling and Query based on Trees
Authors: Setyanto Arief , Woods John
Published: November 2016

In recent years, such vast archives of video information have become available that human annotation of content is no longer feasible; automation of video content analysis is therefore highly desirable. The recognition of semantic content in images is a problem that relies on prior knowledge and learnt information and that, to date, has only been partially solved. Salient analysis, on the other hand, is statistically based and highlights regions that are distinct from their surroundings, while also being scalable and repeatable. The arrangement of salient information into hierarchical tree structures in the spatial and temporal domains forms an important step to bridge the semantic salient gap.Salient regions are identified using region analysis, rank ordered and documented in a tree for further analysis. A structure of this kind contains all the information in the original video and forms an intermediary between video processing and video understanding, transforming video analysis to a syntactic database analysis problem.This contribution demonstrates the formulation of spatio-temporal salient trees the syntax to index them, and provides an interface for higher level cognition in machine vision.

The Effect of Interference Parameters on the Exploitation Capabilities of an Underwater Vehicle
Authors: Leszczyński Tomasz
Published: November 2016

This article presents the results of operations performed by an underwater vehicle in the course of approaching a target across water in which there exist pre-defined obstacles and sea currents. The mathematical model of a self-propelled payload for neutralizing mines type ‘Głuptak’ is used to model the operations performed by the vehicle. Because the underwater vehicle is powered by batteries it is necessary to assess whether there will be enough energy required to continue the approach to the target in the case of changes in the environment. The results presented refer to the effect of interference, caused by the marine environment, on the possibility to use the vehicle for this task. The energy consumption for the mentioned task is optimized with a genetic algorithm.
Borg - mellom høvdingdømme og kongemakt
Authors: Storli Inger
Published: November 2016

Borg in Lofoten: Between chiefdom and kingdom Borg in Lofoten has yielded archeological finds from the first millennium AD that surpass all other contemporary finds from the northern parts of Norway: two buildings measuring 64 and 83 meters respectively, objects of gold and silver, exclusive glass and ware imported from the continent, beads from distant areas and a large number of other spectacular objects. This paper seeks to understand the role and significance of Borg during its prime and the reason for its collapse around AD 900. Heavy weight is put on some gold-foil plaques portraying a couple – man and woman – which were found close to structures in the latest building interpreted as a seat of honour. It is suggested that Borg held the status as center of a regional princedom, maybe already from the 7th century. The house was abandoned around AD 900 after the careful dismantling and removing of posts. According to the Islandic Landnámabók, the settlers often brought high seat posts with them across the sea. When they drew near the coast, they tossed the posts in the water and took land where they drifted ashore. It is suggested in this article that the head of Borg loaded his high seat posts on the ship and followed the stream of emigrants from Norway to Iceland due to conflicts related to the Norwegian nation building.
«Det er ikke gull alt som glimrer» – bredøkser med messingbeslått skaft fra sen vikingtid
Authors: Vike Vegard
Published: November 2016

«All that glitters is not gold» - broadaxes with brass banded hafts from the late Viking age Traditionally, the sword was regarded as a weapon of personal prestige and a symbol of the privileged landowning elite. The axe, on the other hand, was a farming tool and symbolic of the landless but free men that went into service under this privileged elite. These men were called housecarls (ON: húskarl). As the Viking age drew toward its end, the axe seemed to gain a higher status as a weapon of prestige in the shape of two-handed broadaxes (dane-axe). Their elongated edge but thin and light body made them a fearsome and formidable weapon. Six broadaxes with haft bandings of copper-alloy have been identified in the archaeological collection at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. The alloys have been analyzed and the results show that they are all made of brass with a high level of zinc. This suggests that the brass is of high quality, which further enhances these broadaxes as prestigious weapons. The results are presented in this article along with comparative material from Europe. The appearance of these broadaxes at the end of the Viking Age is further discussed in light of literary sources relating to Canute the Great and his retinue of  housecarls called the Thinglid.
Fisk, faste og gamle gåter i Bergenhus og Steinvikholm
Authors: Nordeide Sæbjørg Walaker
Published: November 2016

Fish, Lent and old Riddles in Medieval Castles An enigmatic structural feature may be noted in several medieval castles. To date, a satisfactory interpretation as to purpose has been lacking. The feature is a construction reminiscent of wells, and its use seems to be related to the holding of water – yet they fail to fully satisfy an interpretation of being wells or cisterns.  By viewing the constructions within the wider context of medieval society, a more convincing interpretation is evident. In medieval society, and also for a few decades after the Lutheran reformation of 1537, there was great demand for fish during Lent, and this led the Church to organize the breeding of fish. Fresh fish, particularly from fresh water, was also a high status food, expected to be served to high status individuals. At times of siege, it was difficult to catch fish without putting people at risk, and the castle was built to protect lives. The structures located in the kitchen areas at Steinvikholm and Bergenhus are interpreted as fish tanks, intended to keep fish alive and fresh. A construction with a similar inferred function is also to be seen in the Archbishop’s palace, dated to the middle of the 16th century.
Solitary mastocytoma presenting in an adult: report and literature review of adult-onset solitary cutaneous mastocytoma with recommendations for evaluation and treatment
Authors: Cohen Philip R.
Published: November 2016

Background: Mastocytosis is either cutaneous (with skin-limited proliferation of mast cells) or systemic (with mast cells in extracutaneous sites). The onset of solitary mastocytoma in an adult is rare.

Purpose: A woman with the new onset of solitary mastocytoma is described. The clinical features of patients with adult-onset solitary mastocytoma are summarized. Recommendations for the evaluation and treatment of individuals with adult-onset solitary mastocytoma are proposed.

Methods: PubMed was searched with the key words: adult, CD2, CD25, cell, cutaneous, disease, KIT, KIT D816V, mast, mastocytoma, mutation, pigmentosa, solitary, tryptase, and urticarial. The papers generated by the search, and their references, were reviewed.

Results: A 38-year-old Taiwanese woman presented with an asymptomatic brown patch, which morphologically mimicked a dysplastic nevus, on her right abdomen; biopsy demonstrated a solitary mastocytoma. Comprehensive evaluation (including serologic and bone marrow examination) excluded systemic mastocytosis and her residual mastocytoma is being monitored. Adult-onset solitary mastocytoma has been described in 16 patients. Lesions were either on the head and neck (5/14), torso (5/14) or extremities (4/14). Urtication following lesion rubbing was noted in 79% (11/14) of patients. Excision of the mastocytoma [75% (9/12)] was the most common treatment. Other management approaches included corticosteroids (topical or intralesional), antihistamines (systemic) or observation. Systemic symptoms were noted in 5 patients: flushing (3 women) and pruritus (3 women); gastrointestinal symptoms and headaches, flushing and/or anaphylaxis were each noted in one woman. None of the patients with adult-onset solitary mastocytoma had systemic mastocytosis; however, only 3 women were evaluated for systemic mastocytosis.

Conclusions: Systemic mastocytosis is common in adults with new onset cutaneous mastocytosis. Therefore, a conservative work up for new onset solitary mastocytosis in adults is proposed to include complete blood cell counts, serum chemistries (including liver function tests), and serum tryptase level and bone marrow biopsy to evaluate for mast cell clusters, morphology and immunophenotype and KIT gene mutation in codon 816. Similar serologic testing should be considered annually for adult-onset solitary mastocytosis patients without systemic disease.
Two neutrophilic dermatoses captured simultaneously on histology
Authors: Wlodek Christina , Bhatt Nidhi , Kennedy Cameron
Published: November 2016

A number of neutrophilic dermatoses are associated with malignancies and their treatment. These rarely occur together in the same patient.

A Caucasian 72-year-old male was treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with chemotherapy including daunorubicin and cytarabine. Within 48 hours of commencing treatment, he developed pyrexia and, two days later, disseminated non-tender pink plaques on the limbs and trunk. A skin biopsy showed a dermal interstitial infiltrate of lymphocytes, histiocytoid cells and predominantly neutrophils. This extended into the subcutis, where a neutrophilic lobular panniculitis was seen. These findings are consistent with Sweet’s syndrome. In addition, a neutrophilic and lymphocytic infiltrate was also present around eccrine coils and lower ducts. The eccrine epithelium showed squamous metaplasia with dyskeratosis and sloughing into the lumen. These latter findings are consistent with neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis (NEH).

These two histologically distinct entities form part of the neutrophilic dermatoses that have been described in oncology patients with reports of concurrent or sequential occurrence of various neutrophilic dermatoses in the same patient. Ours, however, is only the second reported case of simultaneously captured Sweet’s and NEH in the setting of AML. The most likely explanation is that of an epiphenomenon, whereby the neutrophilic infiltrate extended around the sweat glands in the context of the neutrophilic dermatosis.
Pigmented eccrine Poroma: dermoscopic and confocal features
Authors: Bombonato Caterina , Piana Simonetta , Moscarella Elvira , Lallas Aimilios , Argenziano Giuseppe , Longo Caterina
Published: November 2016

Eccrine poroma is a rare benign adnexal tumor of epithelial cells originating from the terminal ductal portion of the sweat glands that is typically located on palms and soles, although other cutaneous sites can be affected [1]. It is usually nonpigmented even if there is a pigmented variant that corresponds to 17% of cases and it is usually underdiagnosed, since it is mistakenly confused with other pigmented tumors [2,3]. Dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) may assist in the correct diagnosis of this tumor.

Herein, we report one case of pigmented eccrine poroma (PEP) that simulated clinically a cutaneous melanoma or a basal cell carcinoma. Dermoscopy and RCM excluded the possibilities of those two diagnoses; the overall confocal findings were suggestive for a benign epithelial tumor. Histology was fundamental to diagnose this lesion as a pigmented eccrine poroma. Even if the diagnosis of eccrine poroma remains histopathological still, as in this case report, noninvasive tools such as dermoscopy and RCM examinations can be of help to rule out the diagnosis of melanoma. Larger studies on this rare pigmented variant of eccrine poroma could shed new light on the identification of specific diagnostic dermoscopic and confocal features.

Published: November 2016

Molluscum contagiosum is a benign cutaneous viral infection which is caused by double- stranded DNA poxvirus. It affects mainly children and young adults and usually presents with single or multiple umblicated papules or nodules on face, arms, legs and anogenital regions. It may present in atypical size and clinical appearance in patients with altered or impaired immunity and rarely in immuncompetent patients. Herein we present an immuncompetent young adult patient with isolated giant molluscum contagiosum, which was mimicking epidermoid cyst clinically..
Fifty shades of unsaid: Women’s explicit and implicit attitudes towards sexual morality
Authors: Lanciano Tiziana , Soleti Emanuela , Guglielmi Francesca , Mangiulli Ivan , Curci Antonietta
Published: November 2016

The movie Fifty Shades of Grey has created a great deal of controversy which has reignited the debate on unusual and alternative sexual practices such as bondage. Erotophobic individuals have negative affect towards the type of sexual libertinism conveyed by the movie, while erotophilic persons have a positive attitude and emotional feelings towards this kind of sexual emancipation. Using the Implicit Association Test, this study aimed to explore the extent to which there is a difference in women's attitudes towards sexual morality on an explicit and implicit level. Our findings found that erotophobic and erotophilic women differed only on an explicit level of sex guilt and moral evaluation, while no difference in the implicit measure was found.

L’autoévaluation appuyée sur l’outillage textométrique dans l’enseignement de la traduction
Authors: Miao Jun , Salem André
Published: November 2016

Dans un contexte d’enseignement de la traduction, nous comparons différentes traductions françaises d’un même texte original en anglais (le discours d’investiture prononcé par le président Barack Obama en 2009). Certaines des traductions ont été réalisées par des traducteurs professionnels, d’autres par des outils automatiques, d’autres enfin par des apprenants traducteurs. Les outils textométriques permettent de mettre en évidence les similitudes et différences entre les traductions proposées. L’utilisation de l’alignement du corpus au niveau du paragraphe permet de construire un réseau de correspondances à partir desquelles les calculs textométriques produisent des résultats particulièrement intéressants. L’analyse verticaledes traductions permet de localiser des portions du texte original que les traducteurs ont traitées de manière similaire. En utilisant cette même approche, nous pouvons aussi localiser les fragments qui donnent lieu, à l’inverse, à des traductions différentes et explorer l’éventail des traductions proposées. Les ressources numérisées ainsi élaborées constituent une aide précieuse pour juger de la qualité du travail fourni par les apprenants. Elles leur fournissent, par ailleurs, un outil d’autoévaluation efficace.
Legal Language – Pragmatic Approaches to Its Interconnectivity with Legal Interpretation and Legal Translation1
Authors: Simonnaes Ingrid
Published: November 2016

The purpose of this paper is to enhance existing insights into the complex relationship between legal language, legal interpretation and legal translation that challenges the participants of a particular domain-specific communicative situation. This situation can be described as a complex communicative-cognitive procedure taking into consideration a pragmatic approach to reach its addressees on a continuum from lay persons to experts.

The analysis of some “typical” examples shows (not surprisingly) that different kinds of knowledge are necessary in order to achieve a felicitous communicative act in which a high degree of specialist knowledge is of paramount importance to a successful result both in intra- and interlingual translation.

The particular legal language under scrutiny, in other words German contrastive to Norwegian, form the basis for the analysis of the activity of translation in which the translator must be able to understand/interpret the text and must be aware of not taking the words at their “face value” to be able to render their meaning in the target language.
Traduire le Black English (« C’est comme ça des fois. »)
Authors: Lappin-Fortin Kerry
Published: November 2016

Le problème de la traduction des sociolectes demeure « […] one of the biggestlacunaein translation studies » (Herrera 2014 : 290). Dans ce qui suit, j’espère contribuer à la discussion entamée par Brodsky (1993, 1996), Lavoie (1994, 2002) et d’autres sur la traduction du vernaculaire noir américain (VNA) en examinant le cas de deux romans autobiographiques de Maya Angelou,I Know Why theCaged Bird Sings(1969) etThe Heart of a Woman(1981), et le bestseller de Lawrence Hill,The Book of Negroes(2007). Il s’avère que le rôle du Black English dans ces romans dépasse celui de la simple « couleur locale ». Comment les traducteurs Besse (2008), Saint-Martin et Gagné (2008), et Noël (2011/2014), les traducteurs des romans précédemment cités, ont-ils négocié la tension entre fidélité à la langue source et fidélité à la langue cible ? Il ressort de cette étude qu’une plus grande volonté de dévier des normes et des formes du français permettrait de mieux « traduire » ce parler noir dans le but d’en préserver la valeur culturelle et idéologique.
Dominance relationships in a family pack of captive arctic wolves (Canis lupus arctos): the influence of competition for food, age and sex
Authors: Cafazzo Simona , Lazzaroni Martina , Marshall-Pescini Sarah
Published: November 2016

Background

Dominance is one of the most pervasive concepts in the study of wolf social behaviour but recently its validity has been questioned. For some authors, the bonds between members of wolf families are better described as parent-offspring relationships and the concept of dominance should be used just to evaluate the social dynamics of non-familial captive pack members (e.g., Mech & Cluff, 2010). However, there is a dearth of studies investigating dominance relationships and its correlates in wolf family packs.

Methods

Here, we applied a combination of the most commonly used quantitative methods to evaluate the dominance relationships in a captive family pack of 19 Arctic wolves.

Results

We found a significant linear and completely transitive hierarchy based on the direction of submissive behaviours and found that dominance relationships were not influenced by the competitive contexts (feeding vs. non-feeding context). A significant linear hierarchy also emerges amongst siblings once the breeding pair (the two top-ranking individuals) is removed from analyses. Furthermore, results suggest that wolves may use greeting behaviour as a formal signal of subordination. Whereas older wolves were mostly dominant over younger ones, no clear effect of sex was found. However, frequency of agonistic (submissive, dominant and aggressive) behaviours was higher between female–female and male–male dyads than female–male dyads and sex-separated linear hierarchies showed a stronger linearity than the mixed one. Furthermore, dominance status was conveyed through different behavioural categories during intra-sexual and inter-sexual interactions.

Discussion

Current results highlight the importance of applying a systematic methodology considering the individuals’ age and sex when evaluating the hierarchical structure of a social group. Moreover, they confirm the validity of the concept of dominance relationships in describing the social bonds within a family pack of captive wolves.

In 2013 approximately 37,000 people were living with HIV in Ecuador (prevalence 0.4%), representing a generalized epidemic where most new infections arise from sexual interactions in the general population. Studies that examine attitudes towards people living with HIV (PLWH), individual risk perception of acquiring HIV amongst Ecuadorians, and the ways in which levels of risk perception may affect risk behaviors are lacking. This qualitative study aimed to fill this gap in the literature by investigating these issues in the rural, coastal community of Manglaralto, Ecuador, which has among the highest incidence of HIV in Ecuador. We conducted interviews with 15 patients at Manglaralto Hospital. Analysis of interview transcripts revealed widespread negative attitudes towards PLWH, prevalent risk behaviors such as multiple sex partners and lack of condom use, and low individual risk-perception of contracting HIV. These findings underscore the need for increased efforts to prevent further growth of the HIV epidemic in Ecuador.

Published: September 2024

Importance

Chronic spontaneous urticaria affects approximately 1% of the general population worldwide, including approximately 3 million people in the US, impairs patients’ quality of life, and is associated with multiple comorbidities.

Observations

Chronic spontaneous urticaria affects patients of any age but is most common in females aged 30 to 50 years. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, ie, spontaneously recurring wheals, angioedema, or both. Chronic spontaneous urticaria persists for more than 1 year in most patients (1 or repeated episodes) and may present with comorbidities including chronic inducible urticaria (>10%), autoimmune thyroiditis (approximately 20%), metabolic syndrome (6%-20%), and anxiety (10%-31%) and depression (7%-29%). Known autoimmune endotypes (subtypes of urticaria defined by distinct pathogenesis) of chronic spontaneous urticaria are mediated by mast cell–activating IgE and/or IgG autoantibodies (>50%). Approximately 40% of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria have a Dermatology Life Quality Index of more than 10, corresponding to a very large or extremely large negative effect on quality of life. Second-generation H1 antihistamines are first-line treatment; partial or complete response, defined as a reduction in urticaria symptoms of greater than 50%, is observed in approximately 40% of patients. The 2022 international urticaria guideline recommends the monoclonal anti-IgE antibody omalizumab as second-line treatment for antihistamine-refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria. However, at least 30% of patients have an insufficient response to omalizumab, especially those with IgG-mediated autoimmune urticaria. Cyclosporine, used off-label, can improve symptoms in approximately 54% to 73% of patients, especially those with autoimmune chronic spontaneous urticaria and nonresponse to omalizumab, but has adverse effects such as kidney dysfunction and hypertension.

Conclusions and Relevance

Chronic spontaneous urticaria is an inflammatory skin disease associated with medical and psychiatric comorbidities and impaired quality of life. Second-generation H1 antihistamines are first-line treatment, omalizumab is second-line treatment, and cyclosporine is third-line treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Published: September 2024

Importance

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of death in the US. The current evidence on the burdens of HF in Asian American populations, especially Asian American subgroups, is limited and inconsistent.

Objective

To assess and compare the incidence and prevalence of HF in Asian American subgroups.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This retrospective cohort study used electronic health record data from patients 40 years or older with health care encounters from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, recorded in the Oracle Electronic Health Record Real-World Data database, which has more than 100 health care systems across the US contributing to the database as of February 2024. For prevalence analysis, the study samples were those who had at least 1 encounter in the study calendar year. For incidence analysis, participants were additionally limited to those without HF before the study year who also had encounter(s) the year before the study year. Data analysis was performed from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024.

Exposure

Race and ethnicity were determined using patient self-reported data, which were categorized as Black, East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, other Asian (without specified ethnicity), and White.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Outcomes were incidence and prevalence of HF, identified using recorded International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification and International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Age- and sex-standardized incidence and prevalence were used to calculate the risk ratio of each racial and ethnic group compared with White patients.

Results

Incidence and prevalence analyses were performed for 6 845 791 patients (mean [SD] age, 62.1 [12.5] years; 59.9% female; 2.8% Asian, 6.7% Black, and 90.5% White) and for 13 440 234 patients (mean [SD] age, 61.7 [12.7] years; 57.0% female; 2.9% Asian, 7.1% Black, and 90.0% White), respectively. Using the 2015 population as the standard, age- and sex-standardized HF incidence was 2.26% (95% CI, 2.07%-2.45%) for Southeast Asian patients, 1.56% (95% CI, 1.31%-1.82%) for South Asian patients, and 1.22% (95% CI, 1.06%-1.38%) for East Asian patients compared with 1.58% (95% CI, 1.57%-1.59%) for White patients and 2.39% (95% CI, 2.36%-2.42%) for Black patients. Similarly, heterogeneous rates in Asian American subgroups were also observed in the prevalence analysis.

Conclusions and Relevance

In this study of HF outcomes, the disparities between Southeast and East Asian patients were larger than those between Black and White patients, with the estimates in Southeast Asian patients being similar to those of Black patients. These findings reinforce that individual Asian ethnicities and cardiovascular risk factors should be considered in the assessment of HF risks.

Published: September 2024

Importance

This research confirms and further establishes that pathogenic variants in a fourth gene, METTL23, are associated with autosomal dominant normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

Objective

To determine the frequency of glaucoma-causing pathogenic variants in the METTL23 gene in a cohort of patients with NTG from Iowa.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This case-control study took place at a single tertiary care center in Iowa from January 1997 to January 2024, with analysis occurring between January 2023 and January 2024. Two groups of participants were enrolled from the University of Iowa clinics: 331 patients with NTG and 362 control individuals without glaucoma. Patients with a history of trauma; steroid use; stigmata of pigment dispersion syndrome; exfoliation syndrome; or pathogenic variants in MYOC, TBK1, or OPTN were also excluded.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Detection of an enrichment of METTL23 pathogenic variants in individuals with NTG compared with control individuals without glaucoma.

Results

The study included 331 patients with NTG (mean [SD] age, 68.0 [11.7] years; 228 [68.9%] female and 103 [31.1%] male) and 362 control individuals without glaucoma (mean [SD] age, 64.5 [12.6] years; 207 [57.2%] female and 155 [42.8%] male). There were 5 detected instances of 4 unique METTL23 pathogenic variants in patients with NTG. Three METTL23 variants—p.Ala7Val, p.Pro22Arg, and p.Arg63Trp—were judged to be likely pathogenic and were detected in 3 patients (0.91%) with NTG. However, when all detected variants were evaluated with either mutation burden analysis or logistic regression, their frequency was not statistically higher in individuals with NTG than in control individuals without glaucoma (1.5% vs 2.5%; P = .27).

Conclusion and Relevance

This investigation provides evidence that pathogenic variants in METTL23 are associated with NTG. Within an NTG cohort at a tertiary care center, pathogenic variants were associated with approximately 1% of NTG cases, a frequency similar to that of other known normal-tension glaucoma genes, including optineurin (OPTN), TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), and myocilin (MYOC). The findings suggest that METTL23 pathogenic variants are likely involved in a biologic pathway that is associated with glaucoma that occurs at lower intraocular pressures.
