Authors: Morales José Jaimes , Torres José David , Severiche Carlos Alberto
Published: September 2016

En este trabajo se analizó la calidad de un producto cárnico escaldado utilizando durante la formulación harina de Prosopis juliflora, como alternativa a la harina comercial de soya. Se obtuvo la harina del Prosopis por las operaciones respectivas de adecuación, secado, molturación, tamizado, y se analizaron sus propiedades funcionales; además se evaluaron los parámetros fisicoquímicos, microbiológicos y sensoriales del producto terminado. El contenido de proteína, de acuerdo con el método de Kjeldahl con factor 6.25, fue de 33.7%; el de fibra, 7.71%. La capacidad de retención de agua y el índice de absorción de lípidos para la harina fueron de 3.87 mL de agua y 3.21 mL de aceite por gramo de harina, respectivamente, valores similares a lo reportado por otros autores para diversas harinas de uso comercial. El producto final fue sensorialmente aceptado y los recuentos microbianos estuvieron dentro de lo establecido por las normas técnicas colombianas. Se concluye que la harina de Prosopis es una alternativa, como materia prima no cárnica, que puede ayudar a reducir esfuerzos a la industria cárnica en la elaboración de productos con interesantes valores proteicos, ya que no afectó las características de calidad del alimento donde fue probada.

Published: September 2016

Intussusception is one of the main causes of intestinal obstruction in children that requires timely treatment. Despite the high efficacy of therapeutic methods of intussusception reduction, some patients need the surgery. The question of the surgery method choice, namely open laparotomy or laparoscopy, is still under debate.The objective of the research was to summarize own experience of laparoscopy in children with an intussusception.The research was grounded on the results of treatment of 28 children operated in the first surgical department of the Lviv Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital «OHMATDYT» during 2008-2015. Optical system Strayker 1088 HD (Germany) with the 3-, 5-mm laparoscopic equipment was used for laparoscopy. The reduction of intussusception was performed by the retrograde traction of small intestine with the sliding catches.Laparoscopic intussusception reduction was successful in 67.9% of patients, conversion was conducted in 32.1% of patients. The main reasons for the conversion were the necrosis of intestinal loop needing resection, presence of the complex intussusception, and the presence of polyp clear to the ileocecal valve. In 10.7% patients the laparoscopic reduction was supplemented by per rectum pneumoreduction with the help of Richardons’ system. During the last year, in cases of intestine resection need, the video-assisted operations were applied, when the intestine mobilization was performed laparoscopically and anastomosis was applied extraperitonealy. Complications during laparoscopic reduction and in the postoperative period were not observed.Laparoscopy is the safe and effective method of patients with the intussusception treatment. Thorough selection of patients for the laparoscopic intussusception reduction makes it possible to decrease the rate of conversion.

Published: September 2016

Introduction. The mode of delivery for gravidas with fetuses with GS plays an important role among the factors influencing the results of gastroschisis (GS) treatment. More researchers come to univocal conclusion that elective and early cesarean section has positive impact on elimination (prevention) of GS complications compared to previous experience in natural deliveries in term. However, the impact of the mode of delivery to anatomical features of GS remains still not investigated.The objective of the research was to determine the impact of the delivery mode on anatomical characteristics of newborn children with GS.Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis of 100 patients’ case histories was conducted. Infants were born naturally or via C-section during the period from 1987 to 2015. All newborns were divided into 3 clinical groups according to prenatal diagnosis, mode of delivery, transportation, place and term of surgical treatment of GS.Results. Localization of penetration defect of anterior abdominal wall (AAW) remains constant and typical for GS in every clinical group; therefore the mode of delivery did not have any impact upon the localization of defects in case of this malformation. The size of the penetration defect was significantly smaller in children after C-section than those born via vaginal deliveries. Thus, in Group I (children born via C-section) the defects sizes were 3.15 ± 0.09 cm, while in Groups II and III (after vaginal deliveries) the sizes were 4.17 ± 0.3 cm, p<0.01, and 4.7 ± 0.29 cm, p<0.01, respectively. The eventration rate of retroperitoneal organs (pancreas and duodenum) was significantly higher in children with GS born via natural mode of delivery (II and III clinical group) than in neonates born via C-section (I clinical group), constituting 56.0% and 63.3% to 25.0%, respectively, with p<0.01.Conclusions. The mode of delivery (C-section or vaginal) has impact on anatomical features of GS in the newborns. The size of AAW defect is significantly greater in children with GS born vaginally than in infants born via C-section and eventeration rate of retroperitoneal organs (pancreas and duodenum) is higher.

Published: September 2016

The agricultural commodity prices have a volatile nature which may increase or decrease inconsistently causing an adverse effect on the economy. The work carried out here for predicting prices of agricultural commodities is useful for the farmers because of which they can sow appropriate crop depending on its future price. Agriculture products have seasonal rates, these rates are spread over the entire year. If these rates are known/alerted to the farmers in advance, then it will be promising on ROI (Return on Investments). It requires that the rates of the agricultural products updated into the dataset of each state and each crop, in this application five crops are considered. The predictions are done based on neural networks Neuroph framework in java platform and also the previous years data. The results are produced on mobile application using android. Web based interface is also provided for displaying processed commodity rates in graphical interface. Agricultural experts can follow these graphs and predict market rates which can be informed to the farmers. The results will be provided based on the location of the users of this application.

Published: September 2016

Consistently numerous lives are affected by heart attacks and all the more vitally on the grounds that the patients do not get timely and proper help. If the patient is under constant observation then the parameters that are responsible for causing heart attack can be continuously monitored, and the right treatment at the correct time may be provided in case of emergency. So a system needs to be developed that helps in monitoring the patients suffering from heart disease at any point of time. The proposed system uses a sensor that reads both heart rate and blood pressure. These values are continuously tracked by Raspberry Pi and stored in the master node. The parameters are analyzed at regular interval. If these parameters cross their normal range, then an automated message is sent via Short Message Service (SMS) gateway to the pre-configured numbers of the relatives and the doctor. The message contains the parameter values and the patients current location is recognized through GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, thus making it possible for the patient to get help at the right time when required.

У роботі проведено аналіз результатів впливу ключових питань діагностики та інтенсивної терапії сепсису, що базуються на положеннях «Міжнародних настанов з інтенсивної терапії тяжкого сепсису і септичного шоку — 2012», доповнених локальною внутрішньопросвітною реоксигенацією перфтораном, на перебіг септичного процесу і вираженість енцефалопатії в структурі поліорганної недостатності. Висновки базувалися на підставі динаміки кількісних характеристик фізіологічного патерну CI-DO2-VO2; pH інтрамукозного; шкал GCS, APACHE II, SOFA; показників синдрому системної запальної відповіді, концентрації цитокінів (TNFα, IL-1, ­IL-4, IFNα), імуноглобулінів (IgA, IgM, IgG). Відновлення показників фізіологічного патерну DO2-VO2 до наднормальних значень до 3-ї доби сприяло поліпшенню загальної та регіональної оксигенації; швидкому оборотному розвитку церебральної недостатності: кількість балів становила 13,83 і коливалась клінічно між помірним оглушенням і ясною свідомістю; реєструвалась відсутність проявів SIRS; вірогідному зниженню концентрацій прозапальних цитокінів і відновленню їх рівноваги з протизапальним IL-4. Відсутність фази повторного погіршення стану хворих асоціювалася з обмеженням гострого медіатозу, подальшим регресом проявів гастроінтестинальної недостатності. Запобігання шлунково-кишковим кровотечам свідчить про прискорення репаративної регенерації ентероцитів під впливом перфторану. Початково передбачувана летальність за сумою балів шкали APACHE II становила 51 %, істинна летальність — 25 %, локальна реоксигенація перфтораном призвела до зниження летальності на 26 %.

Мета дослідження — вибір оптимального методу анестезіологічного захисту хворих від операційної агресії при хірургічному лікуванні колоректального раку. Проведено порівняльний аналіз клінічних показників і результатів лікування при використанні атаралгезії з подальшою аналгезією наркотичними анальгетиками та комбінованої методики з використанням низькопотокової анестезії севофлураном та епідуральної аналгезії з подальшим подовженим епідуральним знеболюванням. Показано вірогідну перевагу комбінованої методики перед тотальною внутрішньовенною анестезією за рахунок нормодинамічного типу гемодинаміки упродовж всієї операції, ранньої регресії постнаркозної депресії і можливості екстубації пацієнта в операційній, ефективної аналгезії в ранньому післяопераційному періоді. Методика подовженої епідуральної аналгезії порівняно з опіатною аналгезією забезпечила значне зниження потреби в опіоїдних анальгетиках, ефективну і якісну аналгезію в післяопераційному періоді, нівелювала побічні ефекти опіатних препаратів, знизила тривалість перебування пацієнта у відділенні інтенсивної терапії. Впроваджена методика дозволила знизити частоту післяопераційної летальності, кількість ускладнень, середню тривалість ліжко-дня і частоту повернень пацієнтів у відділення інтенсивної терапії.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ecto and endoparasites of chicken colonial creation / hillbilly in Santa Catarina. Two hundred and fifty clinically healthy birds were contained and examined for the presence of ectoparasites. And, to evaluate hemoparasites blood samples made brachial vein and blood films 500 were collected and evaluated by methods Panotic Fast (250) and Giemsa (250), and 60 faecal samples of the patio soil were evaluated by the methods parasitological spontaneous sedimentation and centrifugal flotation in saturated solution of sucrose. No bird showed ectoparasites and blood parasites. Eggs were identified Capillaria spp. (48.3%), Ascaridia galli (21.7%), Hymenolepis spp. (16.7%), Heterakis spp. (8.3%), Choanotaenia spp. (6.7%), Raillietina spp. (3.3%), Syngamus trachea (3.3%) and oocysts of Eimeria spp. (20%). Most fecal samples from two properties had more than one parasite gender. The negativity of haemoprotozoans can be attributed to the large volume of rain throughout the study period, reflecting the low occurrence of vectors, mosquitoes and bloodsucking flies, vectors in the transmission.

Published: September 2016

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of day-and-night hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery in adolescents with type 1 diabetes under free-living conditions.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In an open-label randomized crossover study, 12 suboptimally controlled adolescents on insulin pump therapy (mean ± SD age 14.6 ± 3.1 years; HbA1c 69 ± 8 mmol/mol [8.5 ± 0.7%]; duration of diabetes 7.8 ± 3.5 years) underwent two 21-day periods in which hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery was compared with sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy in random order. During the closed-loop intervention, a model predictive algorithm automatically directed insulin delivery between meals and overnight. Participants used a bolus calculator to administer prandial boluses.

RESULTS

The proportion of time that sensor glucose was in the target range (3.9–10 mmol/L; primary end point) was increased during the closed-loop intervention compared with sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy by 18.8 ± 9.8 percentage points (mean ± SD; P < 0.001), the mean sensor glucose level was reduced by 1.8 ± 1.3 mmol/L (P = 0.001), and the time spent above target was reduced by 19.3 ± 11.3 percentage points (P < 0.001). The time spent with sensor glucose levels below 3.9 mmol/L was low and comparable between interventions (median difference 0.4 [interquartile range −2.2 to 1.3] percentage points; P = 0.33). Improved glucose control during closed-loop was associated with increased variability of basal insulin delivery (P < 0.001) and an increase in the total daily insulin dose (53.5 [39.5–72.1] vs. 51.5 [37.6–64.3] units/day; P = 0.006). Participants expressed positive attitudes and experience with the closed-loop system.

CONCLUSIONS

Free-living home use of day-and-night closed-loop in suboptimally controlled adolescents with type 1 diabetes is safe, feasible, and improves glucose control without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Larger and longer studies are warranted.

Published: September 2016

Background

Some alternative products instead of immunotherapy are used in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR).

Methods

In this paper, alternative products to treat allergic rhinitis and alternative routes for allergy immunotherapy are reviewed.

Results

Alternative products and methods used instead of immunotherapy are tea therapy, acupuncture, Nigella sativa, cinnamon bark, Spanish needle, acerola, capsaicin (Capsicum annum), allergen-absorbing ointment, and cellulose powder. N. sativa has been used in AR treatment due to its antiinflammatory effects. N. sativa oil also inhibits the cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase pathways of arachidonic acid metabolism. The beneficial effects of N. sativa seed supplementation on the symptoms of AR may be due to its antihistaminic properties. To improve the efficacy of immunotherapy, some measures are taken regarding known immunotherapy applications and alternative routes of intralymphatic immunotherapy and epicutaneous immunotherapy are used.

Conclusion

There are alternative routes and products to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Published: September 2016

Background

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) leads to the production of antiallergen immunoglobulin (IgG) or “blocking antibody” in the serum and an increase in antiallergen IgG and IgA in nasal secretions. There is also a decrease in the usual rise in antiallergen IgE that occurs after the pollen season.

Methods

In this paper, mechanisms of action of allergen immunotherapy is reviewed.

Results

Regulatory T (Treg) cells and their cytokines, primarily interleukin (IL) 10 and transforming growth factor beta, suppress T-helper type 2 immune responses and control allergic diseases in many ways. AIT induces a shift in the proportion of IL-4–secreting T-helper type 2 cells in favor of IL-10-secreting inducible Treg cells specific for the same allergenic epitope that increases in number and function. Different types of inducible Treg control several facets of allergic inflammation. There are two main types of immunotherapy: subcutaneous immunotherapy and sublingual immunotherapy. Subcutaneous immunotherapy is efficacious and is indicated for the reduction of seasonal symptoms. Sublingual immunotherapy involves the regular self-administration and retention of allergen extract under the tongue for 1–2 minutes before the extract is swallowed. The allergens cross the mucosa in 15–30 minutes and are then captured by tolerogenic dendritic cells and processed as small peptides. Next, via the lymphatic system, a systemic immune response is created to produce an early decrease in mast cell and basophil degranulation.

Conclusion

AIT is indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe intermittent or persistent symptoms of allergic rhinitis. AIT can be administered to those >5 years of age and has been shown to be safe in children as young as 3 years of age. In this article, AIT and other types of immunotherapies were discussed as well as the indications for immunotherapy.
Numerical Analysis of the Combined Influence of Accelerated Crucible Rotation and Dynamic Crucible Translation on Liquid Phase Diffusion Growth of SiGe
Authors: Sekhon Mandeep , Lent Brian , Ma Yanbao
Published: September 2016

The effects of accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT) and dynamic translation on liquid phase diffusion (LPD) growth of SixGe1−x single crystals have been separately investigated numerically in earlier works and were found to have a very positive impact on the LPD growth process. Building upon these findings, in this paper, we study the consequences of imposing both ACRT and dynamic translation on this growth technique. Time-dependent, axisymmetric numerical simulations using moving grid approach have been carried out using finite volume code Ansys Fluent. Crucible translation effect is simulated using dynamic thermal boundary condition. Results are compared to the case in which this growth system is subjected to ACRT only. It is predicted that by combining ACRT with dynamic pulling, excellent axial compositional uniformity can be achieved and growth rate can be improved substantially without significantly compromising on the benefits of employing ACRT. The results show that it is advantageous to utilize the combination of ACRT and dynamic translation during LPD growth rather than using them independently for producing relatively uniform composition SixGe1−x single crystals in a shorter span of time.

Published: September 2016

Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of gynecological cancer-related deaths worldwide. We investigated the role of a newly discovered long noncoding RNA, NR_026689, in cell proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. Our results showed that NR_026689 was
overexpressed in both clinical ovarian cancer patients and cultured ovarian cancer cells. Knockdown of NR_026689 in HO-8910PM cells significantly decreased the cell proliferative rate and the ability to form colonies. Transwell assays revealed that depletion of NR_026689 suppressed cell migration
ability by 68% and cell invasive capacity by 71% in HO-8910PM cells. Moreover, specific shRNAs against NR_026689 notably promoted cell apoptosis in HO-8910PM cells by upregulating the expression of proapoptotic proteins, including caspase 3, caspase 9, cytochrome C, and PARP. Our study suggests
an oncogenic potential of NR_026689 in ovarian cancer and might provide novel clues for the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer in the clinic.
Influence of light and plant size on the reproduction and growth of small palm tree species: Comparing two methods for measuring canopy openness
Authors: Amadeu Luã S. N. , Sampaio Mauricio B. , dos Santos Flavio A. M.
Published: September 2016

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:

The reproduction and growth of large palms are influenced by many factors, including light and plant size, but few studies have examined smaller species (up to 2 m tall). We examined the effect of incident light and individual size on growth rates, the probability of reproduction, and the number of inflorescences of three small palm species and compared two methods for estimating canopy openness.

METHODS:

We measured canopy openness above the crowns of 132 adult plants and in the centers of 72 subplots (10 × 10 m) where individuals were sampled. We also recorded individual size and the number of leaves and inflorescences produced in two years.

KEY RESULTS:

Reproductive individuals ofButia paraguayensistend to occur in illuminated microhabitats. Reproduction ofAcrocomia emensiswas correlated with stem diameter, but not with light. Reproduction was inversely related to individual size and light inSyagrus petraea, probably because this clonal palm invests heavily in sexual reproduction during its younger stages and clonal activity in older stages and may be adapted to the low‐light conditions of the woodland understory. Growth was not predicted by light or individual size. Stronger correlations were found when incident light was measured directly above the crown, as opposed to the subplot center.

CONCLUSIONS:

The influences of light on reproduction are dependent on plant life histories, even among related and sympatric species. Light measurements directly above individual crowns provide better understanding of the reproductive effort rather than in subplot center.
The FOUR LIPS (FLP) and MYB88 genes conditionally suppress the production of nonstomatal epidermal cells in Arabidopsis cotyledons
Authors: Yang Ming
Published: September 2016

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:

The Arabidopsis MYB transcriptional factors FOUR LIPS (FLP) and MYB88 are predicted to play a broader role than just limiting the number of guard cells per stoma in the epidermis based on their expression patterns. Analysis of the numbers of all epidermal cells in cotyledons in flp mutants and the flp‐1 myb88 double mutant may substantiate the functions of FLP and MYB88 in nonstomatal epidermal cells.

METHODS:

The number of all types of abaxial epidermal cells in mature cotyledons were determined under different growth conditions in flp‐1, flp‐3, flp‐8, and tmm‐1 single mutants, flp‐1 tmm‐1 and flp‐1 myb88 double mutants, and accessions Columbia‐0 (Col, control for flp‐1, flp‐3, and flp‐1 myb88) and Landsberg erecta (Ler, control for flp‐8).

KEY RESULTS:

In soil‐grown plants, the number of pavement cells and meristemoids per cotyledon were not statistically different between the flp mutants and their respective controls and between flp‐1 and flp‐1 myb88, except sometimes for the number of meristemoids or pavement cells between flp‐1 and Col. In contrast, the same comparisons yielded statistically significant differences in medium‐grown plants, i.e., more cells in the flp mutants and flp‐1 myb88, except for meristemoids between flp‐8 and Ler and pavement cells between flp‐1 and flp‐1 myb88. No significant difference was detected for nonstomatal epidermal cells between tmm‐1 and flp‐1/tmm‐1 under the two conditions.

CONCLUSIONS:

FLP and MYB88 inhibit the production of nonstomatal epidermal cells largely in a growth‐condition‐dependent manner. The tmm‐1 mutation is epistatic to the flp‐1 mutation in the production of nonstomatal epidermal cells in the cotyledon.
CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PARAMETERS FROM X-RAY HIGH-RESOLUTION SPECTRA OF THE GALACTIC NOVA V959 MON

Published: September 2016

Two observations of V959 Mon done using the Chandra X-ray gratings during the late outburst phases (2012 September and December) offer extraordinary insight into the physics and chemistry of this Galactic ONe nova. The X-ray flux was 1.7 × 10−11 erg cm−2 s−1 and 8.6 × 10−12 erg cm−2 s−1, respectively, at the two epochs. The first result, coupled with electron density diagnostics and compared with published optical and ultraviolet observations, indicates that most likely in 2012 September, the X-rays originated from a very small fraction of the ejecta, concentrated in very dense clumps. We obtained a fairly good fit to the September spectrum with a model of plasma in collisional ionization equilibrium with two components; one at a temperature of 0.78 keV, associated with flat-topped and asymmetrical emission lines, blueshifted by ≃710–930 km s−1; the other one at a temperature of 4.5 keV, mostly contributing to the high-energy continuum. However, we cannot rule out a range of plasma temperatures between these two extremes; we also modeled the spectrum as a static cooling flow, but the available models and the data quality are not adequate yet to differentiate between the two-component fit and a smoothly varying temperature structure. In December, the central white dwarf (WD) became visible in X-rays. We estimate an effective temperature of ≃680,000 K, consistent with a WD mass

M
⊙. The WD flux is modulated with the orbital period, indicating high inclination, and two quasi-periodic modulations with hour timescales were also observed. No hot plasma component with a temperature above 0.5 keV was observed in December, and the blueshifted component cooled to kT ≃ 0.45 keV. Additionally, new emission lines due to a much cooler plasma appeared, which were not observed two months earlier. We estimate abundances and yields of elements in the nova wind that cannot be measured in the optical spectra and confirm the high Ne abundance previously derived for this nova. We also find high abundance of Al, 230 times the solar value, consistently with the prediction that ONe novae contribute to at least one-third of the Galactic yield of 26Al.
THE STACKED LYα EMISSION PROFILE FROM THE CIRCUM-GALACTIC MEDIUM OF z ∼ 2 QUASARS*

Published: September 2016

In the context of the FLASHLIGHT survey, we obtained deep narrowband images of 15 z ∼ 2 quasars with the Gemini Multi-object Spectrograph on Gemini South in an effort to measure Lyα emission from circum- and intergalactic gas on scales of hundreds of kpc from the central quasar. We do not detect bright giant Lyα nebulae (SB ∼ 10−17 erg s−1 cm−2 arcsec−2 at distances >50 kpc) around any of our sources, although we routinely (≃47%) detect smaller-scale <50 kpc Lyα emission at this surface brightness level emerging from either the extended narrow emission line regions powered by the quasars or by star formation in their host galaxies. We stack our 15 deep images to study the average extended Lyα surface brightness profile around z ∼ 2 quasars, carefully PSF-subtracting the unresolved emission component and paying close attention to sources of systematic error. Our analysis, which achieves an unprecedented depth, reveals a surface brightness of SBLyα
 ∼ 10−19 erg s−1 cm−2 arcsec−2 at ∼200 kpc, with a 2.3σ detection of Lyα emission at SB

erg s−1 cm−2 arcsec−2 within an annulus spanning 50 kpc  < R < 500 kpc from the quasars. Assuming that this Lyα emission is powered by fluorescence from highly ionized gas illuminated by the bright central quasar, we deduce an average volume density of n
H = 0.6 × 10−2 cm−3 on these large scales. Our results are in broad agreement with the densities suggested by cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of massive (M ≃ 1012.5 M
⊙) quasar hosts; however, they indicate that the typical quasars at these redshifts are surrounded by gas that is a factor of ∼100 times less dense than the (∼1 cm−3) gas responsible for the giant bright Lyα nebulae around quasars recently discovered by our group.

To date, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) onboard Swift has detected ∼1000 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), of which ∼360 GRBs have redshift measurements, ranging from z = 0.03 to z = 9.38. We present the analyses of the BAT-detected GRBs for the past ∼11 years up through GRB 151027B. We report summaries of both the temporal and spectral analyses of the GRB characteristics using event data (i.e., data for each photon within approximately 250 s before and 950 s after the BAT trigger time), and discuss the instrumental sensitivity and selection effects of GRB detections. We also explore the GRB properties with redshift when possible. The result summaries and data products are available at http://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/results/batgrbcat/index.html. In addition, we perform searches for GRB emissions before or after the event data using the BAT survey data. We estimate the false detection rate to be only one false detection in this sample. There are 15 ultra-long GRBs (∼2% of the BAT GRBs) in this search with confirmed emission beyond ∼1000 s of event data, and only two GRBs (GRB 100316D and GRB 101024A) with detections in the survey data prior to the starting of event data.
Intención emprendedora en estudiantes universitarios: Un estudio bibliométrico
Authors: Valencia Arias Alejandro , Montoya Restrepo Iván , Montoya Restrepo Alexandra
Published: September 2016

Purpose: The aim of the article is to present the results of the bibliometric study in the field of entrepreneurial intention of undergraduate students, allowing a diagnosis of the state of art of this topicDesign/methodology/approach: The applied methodology consisted in analyzing 396 obtained papers form database and search equation, all from the Scopus data base. From this, bibliometric indicator (quantity, quality and structure) was proposed and incorporated the study of the topological structure of the network of authors between 1996 and 2015.Findings: The results shows that the Theory of Planned Behavior is the most widely used model for the study of entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduate students and the factors evaluated are: efficacy, entrepreneurial attitude, motivation and subjective specifications.Originality/value: The bibliographic tracking show that entrepreneurship is a topic with a grown exponentially, without showing saturation in them and that the entry of new authors in the two fields is mainly through existing networks.
Información de responsabilidad social corporativa y teoría institucional
Authors: Gallén Ortiz María , Peraita de Grado Carlos
Published: September 2016

Purpose: Research on disclosure of sustainability information has focused on the level of firms, and very few works analyze the differences between countries.  The objective is to identify the factors that explain the differences in the provision of sustainability information at a macroeconomic level.Design/methodology: The sample includes 9.570 reports drawn up within the framework of the Global Reporting Initiative in 53 countries in the period 2007-2012. Information for each country has been standardized by a million inhabitants every year. Multiple regression models have been used to study the incidence of governance, culture and globalization.  Findings:  It has been detected that indicators of the World Bank’s governance, the proportion of seats for women in national parliaments and foreign direct investment explain significantly the provision of sustainability information in all analyzed countries. There are differences when the sample is broken down into developed and developing countries.Research limitations/implications: The use of macroeconomic variables that show strong correlations between each other prevents from including all the institutional factors that may affect the organizations’ behavior.Practical implications: Organizations are facing the coercive isomorphism, so their performance in the emission of corporate social responsibility information is explained mainly by the pressure of formal and informal institutions.Originality/value: Evidence of the importance of institutional factors in the emission of sustainable information is presented.
Les chroniques de Jorge Luis Borges dans El Hogar, continuum de l’œuvre littéraire
Authors: Larrue Christophe
Published: September 2016

La communication se propose principalement de voir en quoi les chroniques de Borges parues dans El Hogar entre 1936 et 1939, en tant que rubrique de « Libros y autores extranjeros », contiennent en germe certains aspects de l’œuvre narrative et des essais en gestation ou à venir, en particulier les nouvelles de Ficciones, dont certaines sont contemporaines de ces chroniques. Nous dégageons certaines caractéristiques de ces chroniques littéraires, inscrites dans les débats et conflits idéologiques de l’époque, et présentons les coïncidences textuelles entre chronique et œuvre et, plus généralement, nous mettons en relation des textes qui dialoguent entre eux à plus ou moins grande distance chronologique.
La biografía y la autobiografía en la entrevista, una forma de crónica periodística
Authors: Kanev Venko
Published: September 2016

El propósito del presente ensayo es analizar en función de la crónica a dos libros curiosos, obra del periodista francoespañol Ignacio Ramonet y sus insignes interlocutores: Fidel Castro y Hugo Chávez. Y de sendos libros: Cien horas con Fidel (edición cubana) o Biografía a dos voces (edición española) y Hugo Chávez. Mi primera vida. Se estudiará la interferencia de la crónica con otros géneros. Formalmente se trataría de largas entrevistas de más de setecientas páginas cada una. Sin embargo, estos libros corresponden en gran medida a las características de la crónica. Los acontecimientos están contados en un orden cronológico determinado por el periodista. Si estudiamos las respuestas aparte, el relato de un suceso o de un período con sus protagonistas, se puede hablar propiamente de crónica o de varias crónicas. Las preguntas forman también un texto que completa la crónica de los acontecimientos. Los textos están construidos por dos voces, por lo cual existen elementos biográficos en las largas introducciones, las preguntas y el paratexto, y autobiográficos en las respuestas-explicaciones del entrevistado. Pero en el aspecto formal, los dos libros por su volumen se apartan de la entrevista y se acercan a la crónica. Nuestro ensayo revela estas y otras características de la crónica en relación con otros géneros.
Les chroniques de Jorge Ibargüengoitia dans le quotidien Excélsior (1968-1976)
Authors: Benmiloud Karim
Published: September 2016

Dramaturge, nouvelliste et romancier de premier ordre, l’écrivain mexicain Jorge Ibargüengoitia (1928-1983) est moins connu pour ses chroniques, alors même qu’il en a rédigé plus de 660, de 1968 à 1976, pour le prestigieux quotidien Excélsior. Cet article commence par rappeler les conditions de production de ces chroniques (rédigées à la demande de Julio Scherer dans les mois qui suivirent le massacre de Tlatelolco), avant d’analyser les différents pactes de lecture que suppose leur réception par les lecteurs de l’époque (qui les découvrirent deux fois par semaine dans leur quotidien) et par les lecteurs d’aujourd’hui (qui y ont accès grâce aux six anthologies thématiques qui rassemblent l’essentiel de cette production journalistique initialement marquée par la discontinuité). L’article analyse enfin les variations thématiques récurrentes les plus significatives, les cibles favorites, ainsi que la double nature du regard porté par l’écrivain sur les faits qu’il rapporte, entre fausse ingénuité et lucidité dévastatrice, teintées de mélancolie.
La figure de l’auteur de chronique dans Nueva grandeza mexicana (1946) de Salvador Novo
Authors: Pouzet Isabelle
Published: September 2016

En 1946, le poète et journaliste mexicain Salvador Novo gagne le concours du Departamento Central grâce à son ouvrage Nueva grandeza mexicana consacré à la ville de Mexico. En ponctuant son texte d’anecdotes tant historiques que biographiques, Salvador Novo propose au lecteur une promenade enchanteresse dans les rues de la capitale afin de lui en révéler toutes les beautés. Construit en écho aux chroniques sur la ville de Mexico du XVIIe siècle et plus particulièrement à Grandeza Mexicana (1604) de Bernardo de Balbuena, ce texte présente néanmoins une ville en pleine évolution culturelle et architecturale. Dans cet article, nous étudions la figure du chroniqueur, telle que la présente l’auteur, en éclairant les circonstances particulières dans lesquelles cette œuvre a été élaborée.
Dislocaciones. Crónica, memoria y homosexualidad
Authors: Galarraga-Oropeza Víctor
Published: September 2016

Las crónicas de Pedro Lemebel (Santiago de Chile, 1955) constituyen uno de los casos más singulares del variopinto panorama de la literature latinoamericana de las últimas décadas. Con una retórica resueltamente mestiza e irreverente, Lemebel acomete una re-lectura tanto de la cartografía urbana, como de la historia nacional chilena, proponiendo una reivindicación de sujetos y discursos tradicionalmente marginados –el homosexual, el indio, el pobre– hasta construir una potente apuesta estética y política, marcada por la convicción de una especificidad latinoamericana, que permitiría cuestionar las tradicionales relaciones entre la escritura, el deseo y la memoria.
Crónica de crónicas: teoría y práctica del género en los textos de María Moreno
Authors: Havas Teresa Orecchia
Published: September 2016

En las crónicas de María Moreno, celebrada periodista y escritora argentina, se encuentran algunas de las sugerencias más interesantes del momento actual sobre la escritura de ese género. La trayectoria de esta autora, que ha publicado en una veintena de medios argentinos, y sigue haciéndolo en particular en los diarios Página 12 y Perfil, dibuja desde sus inicios una línea de intervención feminista y se inserta cada vez con mayor claridad en el análisis de las ideologías de la cultura y en los debates estéticos y literarios en curso.La comunicación enfoca las estrategias con las cuales las notas de Moreno asientan una teoría y una práctica del género cronístico que, alejándolo tanto del periodismo como de algunas maneras consagradas de la crónica literaria, lo proponen como una escritura específica, guiada ocasionalmente por modelos áureos pero al mismo tiempo incompleta y tendiente a una forma final por venir. La hipótesis final del trabajo es que las propuestas de Moreno logran oportunamente construir puentes entre diversas poéticas literarias al par que reajustan los pasos del género a un proyecto de futuro.Se examinan en relación con esta hipótesis: a) los textos programáticos de Moreno (artículos sueltos, prólogos o epílogos en el formato del libro); b) las técnicas de construcción del sujeto y el lugar atribuido al cronista; c) las principales estrategias de composición y la defensa de los procedimientos experimentales.
Propositions relatives et niveau phrastique
Authors: Melis Gérard
Published: September 2016

The purpose of this paper is to analyse various cases of so-called “appositive relative clauses” in an enunciative textual perspective. Briefly discussing the current terminology, it explores the distinction between “attached relative clauses” and “detached relative clauses”, concentrating on the second case. Its main purpose is to underline the fact that such clauses have a role to play not only at the level of the NP but also - and mainly- at the level of the complete utterance, involving referential, textual and subjective parameters.
Les relatives en américain contemporain
Authors: Dubois-Charlier Françoise
Published: September 2016

This paper presents an analysis of relatives clauses in a corpus of American English (a contemporary novel).Our first aim was to study whether the syntax of relatives clauses is the same in American English and in British English - and the study shows that the two systems differ in several important ways.Our second aim was to revive a methodology: the idea was to approach the data with an open mind, to gather and analyse all the occurrences in a complete discourse, to ‘listen’ to what the data have to say - as opposed to an approach frequently used in recent studies, where the argumentation is theory-based and theory-oriented, and examples collected here and there are mere illustrations of what is posited.
Niclosamide Prevents Systemic Sclerosis in a Reactive Oxygen Species–Induced Mouse Model
Authors: Morin Florence , Kavian Niloufar , Nicco Carole , Cerles Olivier , Chéreau Christiane , Batteux Frédéric
Published: September 2016

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by fibrosis of the skin and inner organs, vasculopathy, and immunological abnormalities. Recent insights on the implication of STAT3, AKT, and Wnt/β-catenin in fibrosis have prompted us to investigate, in a mouse model of ROS-induced SSc, the effects of niclosamide, an antihelmintic drug that inhibits both of these signaling pathways. SSc was induced in BALB/c mice by daily s.c. injections of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Mice were treated or not every other day, 5 d a week, for 6 wk, by niclosamide. Skin and lung fibrosis as well as immunological features were studied. Mice exposed to HOCl developed a diffuse cutaneous SSc with pulmonary fibrosis and anti-DNA topoisomerase 1 autoantibodies. STAT3, AKT, and Wnt/β-catenin pathways were hyperactivated in the skin and the lungs of diseased mice. Niclosamide reversed fibrosis of the skin and the lungs. Beneficial immunological effects were also observed because niclosamide decreased the activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, autoimmune B cell activation, as well as IL-4 and IL-13 production in the skin. The improvement permitted by niclosamide in the mouse model of HOCl-induced SSc as well as the well-documented safety profile of this drug provide a rationale for the evaluation of niclosamide in the management of patients affected by this disease.
