Authors: Leite Manuela , Santos Matheus , Costa Eulina , Balieiro Acenini , Lima Álvaro , Sanchez Odelsia , Soares Cleide
Published: April 2019

Artificial neural network (ANN) techniques are effective in modeling nonlinear processes, are simple to implement and require low computational time. In this work, the lactose adsorption process for continuous flow in a fixed-bed column with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) adsorbent was modeled using an ANN technique. The neural models allowed predicting the relative lactose concentration (C/C0) from the interactions between the variables of contact time (min), temperature (?C), granulometry (mesh), bed height (cm) and flow rate (mL min-1). The ANN models were developed in MATLAB using multilayer perceptrons (MLP) and a radial basis function network (RBF). The MLP model was developed using a three-layer feed forward backpropagation network with 5, 8 and 4 neurons in the first, second and third layer, respectively. The function (RBF) network is also proposed and its performance is compared to a traditional network type. The best architecture configuration RBF model was developed using 5, 14 and 1 neurons in the first, second and third layer, respectively. The proposal of development of mathematical models applied to multi-component adsorption system for milk using these approaches is innovative. The resulting breakthrough curve models for lactose adsorption were in good agreement with the experimental results. Performance indices, such as R?, MSE, RMSE, SSE, MAE and RME were used to evaluate the reliabilities and accuracies of the models. A comparison between the ANN models shows the ability to predict the breakthrough curves of lactose removal in the milk adsorption process. Though, the MLP network model shows more accurately a higher correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9751) and lower values for the obtained error indices. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by the comparison between the predicted and experimental data. The results showed that both neural models efficiently described the non-linear process of lactose adsorption in a fixed-bed column.

Peran Strategis Madrasah Swasta di Indonesia
Authors: Solahudin Solahudin
Published: April 2019

This paper is aimed at discussing the strategic role of school (madrasah) in the country. Madrasah is one of the Islamic educational institutions that have an important role for the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. Madrasah is a place to galvanize the mental, moral, and spiritual of the young generation to educate students to be useful beings for the religion, state, and nation. Private Madrasahs as one of the Islamic Education Institutions in Indonesia have a strategic role in the participation of the nation's intellectuals. In the next developments, private madrasahs face complex issues. In one hand, there is a demand to improve the quality in order to compete with state Islamic education institutions and public schools, but on the other hand, the attention of the government, both central and local, to Islamic educational institutions is still low, even they are still placed not as the main class, but the second class of education institutions. The Ministry of Religious Affairs, which became the central policy, began to formulate serious efforts to improve the quality of madrasahs, such as through the Ministry's Strategic Plan.

Vaporous circumambience: Towards an architectonics of atmosphere
Authors: Tawa Michael
Published: April 2019

The theme of atmosphere has gained significant currency in contemporary architecture. But the idea, its definition and its uses in architectural theory and practice remain vague and opaque. What we lack are an anatomy, inventory and codification of atmosphere. Beginning with thematic analyses of key words that circulate in the ambiance of the word (ambiguity, tone, colour, complexion, emanation, aura, halo, porosit­y, interval, milieu ...), this essay counters the notion that atmosphere is a matter of scenography and theatricality, arguing instead for a systematic reinvestment in the consolidated material assemblage of architecture – that is, in the conjugation of its inherent geometric and formal structures, its spatio-temporal patterns and dynamics and its existential concrete presence – as a more rigorous, genuine and enduring means of producing atmosphere.
Fractured Atmospherics
Authors: Boswell Anna
Published: April 2019

Mobilising Jacques Rancière’s concept of the “distribution of the sensible” and Sara Ahmed’s notion of “angles of arrival”, this paper considers design work implicit in the settler-colonial enterprise and incompatible structures of affect that may be said to underwrite a settler-colonial place. It is interested in the atmospherics of fracture itself, and in the question of the translatability of affect and atmosphere to Indigenous worlds. What might it mean to conceive of a place as possessing the capacity to respond to human intervention in affective terms, it asks, and who or what might be ‘moved’ as a result?
Practiceopolis: Journeys through the contemporary architectural profession
Authors: Megahed Yasser , Sharr Adam , Farmer Graham
Published: April 2019

Supervisors: Adam Sharr, Graham Farmer

The contemporary architectural profession is dominated by a technical-rational culture of practice. The term refers to commercially-driven practices that are often associated with the production of buildings by or for multinational corporations and tend to echo their values. This research interrogates the imperatives of this domination on the original values of the architectural profession. It builds upon two premises: firstly; mapping different cultures of practice constituting the contemporary understanding of the profession; secondly, questioning the increasing closeness between the values of the architectural profession and the instrumentalist values of other actors in the building industry. To do so, the research introduces the imaginary city of Practiceopolis as a methodological device that allows the modelling of contemporary cultures of practice and dramatises their dialogues. The research ends with propositions regarding the particular values of the architectural profession and proposes a critical-instrumental mindset to explore how these values could be defined, communicated, and marketed.

This paper investigates the impact of seamless integration of horticultural activity in the new residential typology of retirement community. It is believed that horticultural therapy is not only beneficial for physical and psychological but also promotes socialisation opportunities among the elderly. Comparative analysis method on selected precedent studies has been carried out and analysed in accordance with Malaysian context. Initial findings indicate that a retirement community with horticultural activity gives therapy for healthier well-being. This therapeutic activity can be apositive change in elderly lifestyle and essential towards the establishment of retirement community in Malaysia.
OVERVIEW OF SAFETY & HEALTH COST FRAMEWORK FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
Authors: Mohd Kamar Izatul Farrita , Che Ahmad Asmalia , Mohamad Derus Mohmad
Published: April 2019

The construction of rail infrastructure project is expanding in Malaysia to enhance and integrate the urban public transportation services. This transportation service is one of the National Key Result Areas (NK.RA) which is a priority under the Government Transformation Program (ETP ). Fatalities, serious injuries and damage to properties occur every year due to rapid construction of this project. Numerous studies have attempted to explain the various losses that could be incurred by companies after the occurrence of an accident. These losses are difficult to isolate, identify and evaluate. Models to analyze and calculate the costs of prevention in the construction industry are limited to apply in this area because they are based on studies carried out in the manufacturing sector. Furthermore, the traditional models for analysing these costs are limited to identifying and classifying them. Therefore, the objectives of this paper are to investigate the overall view of safety and health cost model approaches globally (i.e. UK, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia) and to identify the direction of safety and health cost framework to be practiced in Malaysia.
THE ONE BEYOND SILENCE: THE APOPHATIC HENOLOGY OF PROCLUS
Authors: JUGRIN Daniel
Published: April 2019

For Proclus, negations are truer than assertions (In Platonis Parmenidem 70k), but for a negation to be issued, there must be a name that is denied. But if names are left out, then the negatives are no longer possible. All those aspects of the negation which lead us to discern the transcendent power are now found inapplicable. The negation of negation is the one that introduces us in the appropriate state of silence. The theme of silence is extremely important within the Proclean view of union with the One and it is reached only after intense striving and intellectual effort. The entire dialectical method, even if it operates by way of negations, is nothing but a preamble to the mystical union, removing whatever impedes the contemplation of the One. While the soul cannot know the One, it can attain likeness to the One, experiencing its unity: the way of negation is the precondition for this, purifying the soul for the inflow of divine inspiration. The silence points beyond itself to the One who is beyond all silence.
A TRIBUTE TO THEODORE ROSZAK. THE MAKING OF A COUNTERCULTURE
Authors: BORBÉLY Ştefan
Published: April 2019

A Tribute to Theodore Roszak. The Making of a Counterculture. The American professor Theodore Roszak (1933 – 2011) is generally credited with the invention of the term “counterculture”, although his seminal book from 1969, The Making of a Counter Culture spells the two words separately. To us, today it seems to be the work of a rather cautious, but pioneering sociologist, who acknowledges indeed the legitimacy of the student revolts of the Sixties but at the same time tries to distance himself from their heat with the cool objectivity of the academic observer.
REZUMAT. Omagiu lui Theodore Roszak. Facerea unei contraculturi. Profesorul American Theodore Roszak (1933 – 2011) este îndeobşte creditat cu inventarea cuvântului “contracultură”, deşi cartea sa de referinţă din 1969, The Making of a Counter Culture (Facerea contraculturii) ortografiază separat cele două cuvinte. Astăzi, cartea ne apare ca fiind opera de pionierat a unui sociolog mai degrabă circumspect, care admite, e drept, legitimitatea revoltelor studenţeşti din anii 1960, dar se şi distanţează de incandescenţa lor cu obiectivitatea rece a unui observator academic.

Published: April 2019

Between Law and Custom: A View of the Racial Relationships in Charles Waddell’s Chesnutt’s “The House behind the Cedars”. The aim of this paper is to investigate the manner in which Charles Waddell Chesnutt skillfully uses the conventions of the sentimental novel and of the tragic mulatto/a character, familiar to his white readers, in order to dismantle racial preconceptions and expose the terrible ramifications of racism. The novel The House behind the Cedars shows that race is artificially constructed out of various external markers such as custom, law, dubious scientific findings, which, however, can have dire consequences for the individuals who need to obey such limitations.

Scopul acestei lucrări este acela de a investiga maniera în care Charles Waddell Chesnutt se folosește de convențiile romanului sentimental și ale pesonajului tipic ”mulatrul/mulatra tragic/ă”, familiare cititorilor din epoca sa, pentru a submina prejudecățile rasiale și pentru a expune teribilele ramificații ale rasismului în America. Romanul The House behind the Cedars arată faptul că rasa este o construcție artificială tributară unor elemente constitutive externe cum ar fi: tradiția, legea, descoperiri științifice dubioase, dar care are consecințe tragice pentru persoanele care sunt forțate să se supună limitărilor sociale impuse de legile rasiale.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY FOR NATURAL DEGRADATION OF THREE LOCAL ANESTHETIC DRUGS FOR HUMAN USE BY ¹H NMR RELAXOMETRY AND FT-IR SPECTROSCOPY
Authors: DRĂGAN L. R. , CRAINIC R. , FECHETE R.
Published: April 2019

Three anesthetics, lidocaine (xylene), ropivacaine and propofol, with localized area of action while used in human surgery, were investigated by 1H NMR relaxometry and ATR-FT-IR spectroscopy. The injectable liquid anesthetics were then subjected to degradation in natural condition during 36 days by exposure to direct sunlight radiation. The sunlight radiation intensity in the infrared and visible domain as well as UV index was monitored using Adafruit SI1145 breakout board sensor. The temperature and humidity was monitored using a digital DHT11 sensor. The evolution of 1H NMR T2-distributions, IR spectra, pH, refraction index, electric conductivity and total dissolved solids (TDS) show a degradation of studied anesthetics but also in some cases a certain recovery.
STUDY OF STRUCTURAL, MORPHOLOGICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES IN THE (Bi₁.₆Pb₀.₄)(Sr₁.₈Ba₀.₂)Ca₂(Cu₁₋ₓ Gdₓ)₃Oᵧ SUPERCONDUCTORS
Authors: LUNG C. , MARCONI D. , POP A.
Published: April 2019

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrical resistivity measurements are performed to investigate some physical properties of (Bi1.6Pb0.4)(Sr1.8Ba0.2)Ca2(Cu1-xGdx)3Oy superconducting samples fabricated at sintering temperatures of 840 0C and 845 0C and the uniaxial pressures of 196MPa and 392MPa respectively. The samples were prepared by standard solid-state reaction methods. XRD measurements show that the samples obtained at 840 °C contain two phases. With the increase of the sintering temperature at 845 0C, a decrease in the diffraction peaks of the phase 2212 is observed, and with the increase of the pressure at 392MPa this phase falls below 10%. SEM analysis show that the superconductors have a uniform surface, but the size of the granules changes so that the sample sintered at 845 °C and the uniaxial pressure of 392 MPa has the best crystallinity.
Summary of heat transfer processes and their comparative evaluation for capillary porous coatings in power plants
Authors: Genbach A. A. , Bondartsev D. Yu. , Shelginsky A. Y.
Published: April 2019

The crisis of heat exchange at boiling of water in porous structures used for cooling of heat-stressed surfaces of various aggregates is investigated. The study refers to thermal power installations of power plants. The experiments were carried out on a stand with heat supply from an electric heater. Cooling of heat-exchange surfaces was performed by water supply to porous structures with diff erent cell sizes. It is shown that in porous cooling systems of elements of heat and power plants processes of fl uid boiling take place, and at high heat fl ows it is possible to approach a crisis situation with overheating of the heat-exchange surface. The heat exchange processes are described, the infl uence of thermophysical properties of heat exchange surface is shown, and optimal sizes of porous structure cells are determined. A calculated equation is obtained for determining the critical heat fl ux at high pressures. The calculation of the critical load with respect to the examined porous structures was carried out with taking into account the underheating and fl ow rate, from which it follows that the underheating of the liquid enables to expand slightly the heat transfer capabilities in a porous cooling system. The experimental data of the investigated capillary porous cooling system operating under the joint action of capillary and mass forces are generalized, and its characteristics q=f(ΔT) are compared with boiling in large volume, heat pipes and thin-fi lm evaporators. The limits of diff erent capillary-porous coatings are given. High heat transfer boosting is provided by combined action of capillary and mass forces and has advantages in comparison with boiling in large volume, thin-fi lm evaporators and heat pipes. It is shown that the results of theoretical calculations conform well with experimental data.
Rising incomes and inequality of access to infrastructure among Latin American Households
Authors: Straub Stephane , Fay Marianne
Published: April 2019

The question of infrastructure needs is a crucial policy one in Latin America, given evidence of large access shortfalls across all major types of infrastructure, and the increase in demand linked to the rapid growth in households’ income over the past two decades. However, how much and how fast countries should invest in each of the main infrastructure areas are largely speculative, as to date, literature on investment needs has relied exclusively on aggregate data and cross-country regressions, ignoring both potential policy and supply-side differences across settings, and variations in demand along the income distribution. This paper addresses these shortcomings, providing building blocks to better assess infrastructure investment needs across the region. It does so documenting access to services and ownership of infrastructure-related durables in the water, energy, telecom, and transport areas, based on harmonized household survey data covering 1.6 million households in 14 Latin American countries from 1992 to –2012. It provides a systematic disaggregation of access and ownership rates at different levels of income and over time, and econometrically derives the country infrastructure premium, a measure of how much a household benefits from simply being located in a given country. Within countries, the results show extensive inequality of access across the income distribution, but this is also the case for households at similar levels of income across countries. Few country fundamentals appear to be significant in explaining this variability, pointing to differences in policy choices and local constraints as important determinants. The paper derives disaggregated income elasticity measures for the full set of infrastructure indicators and uses these to estimate the time that would be needed to close the remaining gap for households at different levels of the income distribution in each country under a “business as usual” hypothesis. Under that scenario, universal access appears to still be decades away for many countries in the region. The last part discusses the policy challenges, arguing that in a context in which public budgets face strong constraints and significant increases in private investment are unlikely to be forthcoming, a large part of the solution lies in refocused investment strategies, better demand management, and improved public spending efficiency.

The study of the world experience and the results of long-term experiments with drip irrigation systems in the Republic in various climatic and soil conditions shows that the creation of irrigation systems of this type is effective and economically profitable when irrigation of various perennial plantations, vegetable, tilled crops, ornamental plantations, nurseries etc. Drip irrigation has almost universal application, in particular, it is applicable where other methods of irrigation can not be used or ineffective:

With a complex relief and a large slope of the site (up to 45 degrees or more);

In areas with prolonged droughts and constant strong winds;

For local water sources with a relatively limited amount of water;

On soils with low power and very low or high hygroscopicity;

On soils prone to salinity;

When used for irrigation of water with a high content of water-soluble salts, etc.

Cristianismo y vida: Ideas en torno a 'Cultura y Verdad' de Fernando Inciarte
Authors: Fernández Gel Enric
Published: April 2019

Presento brevemente dos ideas del libro de Fernando Inciarte con las que trata de resolver la tensión entre cristianismo y mundo/vida: las ideas de una tregua con el mundo y de una continuidad tras el pecado original. Si el cristiano quiere encontrarse con Cristo en el mundo, tiene que pactar una tregua con él. Por otro lado, si bajo la ruptura del pecado original subyace una continuidad, es más difícil ver las tendencias o deseos humanos como productos despreciables del pecado, como se ve en el caso de la sexualidad.
A Framework to The Inventory of Cuture-based Tourism Products
Authors: Henriques Cláudia , Guerreiro Manuela , Mendes Júlio
Published: April 2019

Cultural Tourism is a promising market segment with higher growth rates than other niches. World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) data indicate that the proportion of international trips accounted for cultural motivations grew from 37% in 1995 to 40% in 2004. Additionally, UNWTO (2015) considers that this type of tourism could, in the future, increase competitiveness, create employment opportunities, generate income for investment in preservation, and simultaneously contribute to a sense of pride and self-esteem among host communities. In this article the authors propose a reflection on cultural tourism, based on the questioning of concepts such as tourism and culture, experiences and transformations. To this purpose, this paper aims to come up with a framework upon which tourism destinations can develop culture-based tourism products.
Challenges in Developing Ecotourism in The Region of Lake Sentani Papua
Authors: Sitorus Yannice Luma Marnala , Rosyidie Arief , Suhirman Suhirman
Published: April 2019

The concept of community-based ecotourism is one of the sustainable development concepts suitable to be applied to traditional regions with nature tourism potential. Differences in culture between traditional communities and the outside world are not an obstacle in developing the region because with their local wisdom traditional communities can participate in protecting and managing their natural surrounding and at the same time become an attraction for other communities. However, outside societies can influence the culture of the traditional communities that originally tends to be oriented on biocentrism to shift towards anthropocentrism. This can eventually hamper the continuity of ecotourism development. This can be seen from the traditional communities at Lake Sentani, the case study of the author. The study is based on literature and secondary data and used descriptive analysis. The traditional communities of Sentani do not yet fully participate in the development of tourism in its surroundings. Their involvement in tourism development is more focused on ceremonial activities such as can be seen at the Lake Sentani Festival which is organized every year by the government. Besides this, after coming into contact with modern life the traditional communities of Lake Sentani rarely perform their daily activities based on local wisdom aimed at natural conservation of the lake. The development of urban areas in the surroundings also influences changes in land use in the Lake Sentani region which then causes among others erosion, sedimentation, and pollution of the lake water. Socio-economic and cultural changes in the traditional communities of Sentani and the growth of development also contribute towards ecological change in the area of Lake Sentani, the place they live in.

Meyerhold, entre la técnica extracotidiana de inculturación y aculturación. Estudio desde la antropología teatral
Authors: Naranjo Velásquez Sergio
Published: April 2019

Este artículo estudia, desde la antropología teatral de Eugenio Barba, si la biomecánica de Meyerhold se basa en una técnica extracotidiana de inculturación o en una técnica extracotidiana de aculturación. Esta investigación permite enlazar concepciones que, a priori, se presentan separadas, demostrando que la técnica extracotidiana inculturada y la técnica extracotidiana aculturada tienen elementos que se relacionan. Aunque parezca paradójico encontrar símiles entre estos conceptos, que tradicionalmente se han considerado “opuestos”, se constatan y contrastan de forma indirecta los principios técnicos inculturados y aculturados, que hoy se trabajan desde el punto de vista de la antropología teatral. AbstractBased on Eugenio Barba’s Theater Anthropology, this article examines whether Meyerhold’s Biomechanics is based on either of the extra-quotidian techniques of enculturation or acculturation. The purpose is to link these two hitherto separated and even opposite concepts, and to demonstrate that both techniques, as understood in Theater Anthropology, have elements in common.Recibido: 23 de noviembre de 2018Aceptado: 15 de febrero de 2019

Authors: Soares Junior Azemar dos Santos , Cury Cláudia Engler
Published: April 2019

Inspiradas em modelos de países como Inglaterra, França e Rússia foram criadas Companhias para aprendizes marinheiros no Brasil. A primeira delas que se têm notícias foi instituída em 1840 na Corte. Em 17 de janeiro de 1871, sob o decreto n. 4680, foi criada a Companhias de Aprendizes Marinheiros na província da Parahyba e em 1873 na província do Rio Grande do Norte. Discutimos nesse artigo as condições de criação desses espaços educacionais nas duas províncias e, mais especificamente, a constituição de um currículo escolar pretendido para a formação daqueles jovens. Para além das disciplinas nos interessa apreender as práticas educativas prescritas para a organização do cotidiano escolar e as formas de controle dos corpos que deveriam ser instruídos e disciplinados. Metodologicamente analisamos os Relatórios de Presidente de Província e de Ministros da Marinha, espaço em que circulou a proposta de “formar bons marinheiros e uma educação proveitosa às crianças expostas aos vícios e a miséria”.
Configuração e atratividade da carreira docente da educação básica do município de Cametá/PA
Authors: Castro José Joaquim Martins , Carvalho Fabricio Aarão Freire
Published: April 2019

A pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar a configuração da carreira dos profissionais da educação básica, no município de Cametá/PA a partir da Lei n. 212/2012, quanto à presença de elementos de valorização docente e estímulo para uma melhor remuneração, atratividade e incentivo à permanência na carreira. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de estudo bibliográfico e documental e revelou que as legislações nacionais que tratam da carreira do magistério no Brasil tiveram influência e foram determinantes para a implementação de normatizações no município. Contudo, embora a carreira docente da rede municipal de ensino de Cametá/PAapresente alguns elementos de valorização,não estabelece regras relacionadas a melhores condições de trabalho docente e precisa resgatar a valorização social do profissional do magistério, estimulando a jornada de trabalho em uma única escola, com a garantia de progressão e percentual de aumentos estimulantes para atrair bons profissionais à carreira, conferindo-os remuneração condigna.

Reforma da Universidade de Coimbra e a nova ordem dos estudos na transição do antigo regime
Authors: Magalhães Justino
Published: April 2019

A história da Universidade, como instituição científica e formativa, congrega o nacional e o transversal. Desde final da Idade Média e particularmente com a revolução cultural e política do Iluminismo, a questão da Universidade tornou-se também uma questão de Estado. A revolução científica e a revolução política que assinalaram a transição da primeira Modernidade fizeram emergir um novo conceito de universidade, vinculado ao Iluminismo e ao Racionalismo como resposta àquela crise e como instância política, cumprindo objectivos no quadro do Estado-Nação em formação. Dando curso à revolução científica e ajustando-se à modernização da administração pública, a Reforma Pombalina da Universidade de Coimbra, que culminou com a promulgação dos Estatutos, em 1772, insere-se numa corrente histórica de modernização fomentada e regulada pelo elemento estatal. Neste texto será apresentada uma síntese que inclui aspectos sociopedagógicos da Reforma Pombalina e Mariana da Universidade de Coimbra que assinalaram a relação entre a Universidade e a Sociedade Portuguesa, na transição do Antigo Regime. Far-se-á referência ao estatuto e à função da Universidade Reformada, na nova ordem dos estudos. Pela natureza sumária e exploratória deste texto, serão utilizadas fundamentalmente fontes secundárias, quer no que reporta aos planos de estudo, quer no que reporta à legislação.
Planejamento em área de vulnerabilidade social: um estudo sobre o bairro Cidade Cristo Rei (Montes Claros – MG, Brasil)
Authors: Fonseca Guilherme Henrique de Oliveira , Monte-Mór Roberto Luís de Melo
Published: April 2019

Este artigo tem por foco o planejamento urbano em áreas vulneráveis, visto que, são áreas afetadas pela pobreza, violência, riscos diversos, etc., além de serem áreas que constantemente não são incluídas em planos municipais. Por este motivo faz-se necessário o estudo da dinâmica sócio espacial dessas áreas, afim de produzir alternativas que visem a melhoria na qualidade de vida de seus moradores. Para isso foi estudado o caso do bairro Cidade Cristo Rei localizado na cidade Montes Claros (Minas Gerais), visto que, a cidade é de porte médio e possui uma enorme importância sócio econômica para o norte de Minas e o bairro Cidade Cristo Rei está localizado na região central da cidade e possui um aglomerado subnormal dentro de seus limites, o que torna a área ainda mais vulnerável. Essa dissertação é pautada no princípio do aprendizado social, isto é, busca alternativas diversas para o bairro Cidade Cristo Rei que sejam um produto do diálogo entre o interesse social (participação popular) e o interesse público (governo municipal). Por fim, o planejamento urbano associado ao aprendizado social mostrou-se uma importante ferramenta de pesquisa capaz de aglutinar vários temas complexos sobre o território em questão e, desta forma, pode apontar princípios transformadores para outras regiões vulneráveis da cidade de Montes Claros e região.
Efeito do fitofármaco Mentaliv® sobre funções de neutrófilos e eosinófilos

Published: April 2019

A Mentha piperita L. tem sido estudada pelo nosso grupo como possível fitofármaco para tratamento de doenças que promovem respostas inflamatórias intensa, mediadas por eosinófilos e neutrofilos. Assim, analisar os efeitos antioxidantes e produção de citocinas por essas células é importante para entender o efeito desses compostos na resposta imune inata e efetora. Dessa forma, utilizou-se um fitofármaco proveniente da M piperita e avaliou a enzima MPO em neutrófilos por meio da quimiluminescência dependente de luminol (QLDLum) e da lucigenina. E os níveis de IL-4, IL-6 e TNF-α e a QLDLum em eosinófilos. Nossos resultados demonstraram que em neutrófilos houve inibição da produção de radical ânion superóxido e da NADPH oxidase após tratamento com o fitofármaco. Entretando, os níveis de IL-4 foi maior após o tratamento. Esses dados sugerem que esse fitofármaco apresenta atividade anti-inflamatória, por meio do controle dos produtos secretados durante as respostas inflamatórias, principalmente como pode ocorrer durante infecções e processos inflamatórios crônicos de diversas doenças, onde se observa uma acentuada eosinofilia tecidual, com presença significativa de PMN no sangue e no tecido.

Published: April 2019

O objetivo dessa revisão de literatura é discutir os trabalhos pré-clínicos que avaliaram o efeito dos bisfosfonatos sobre a movimentação dentária induzida por tratamento ortodôntico. Foi executada uma busca de artigos no Pubmed e no Scopus de artigos pré-clínicos entre os anos de Janeiro de 1990 até Dezembro de 2016. Foram utilizados as seguintes combinações de palavras chaves para busca dos artigos: “alendronate” and “orthodontic moviment”; “bisphosphonates” and “orthodontic moviment”; “bisphosphonates” and “orthodontic treatment” e “alendronate” and “orthodontic moviment” sendo que foram detectados 57 artigos. Após a leitura dos abstracts e dos títulos, 16 artigos foram selecionados para leitura integral dos textos. Os resultados desta revisão foram heterogênicos, pois houve diferença entre tipo de medicamento utilizado, intensidade da força, sentido de movimentação dentária, diferentes dosagens dos medicamentos, aplicação antes e depois do início da movimentação ortodôntica, houve diferença entre as análises para medição da movimentação dentária, sendo assim, todas as variáveis supracitadas impediram a execução de uma metanálise. Pode-se concluir que em modelo animal o uso de bisfosfonatos reduz a movimentação ortodôntica, o que pode significar um aumento no tempo de tratamento.
