Critical congenital heart disease screening with a pulse oximetry in neonates
Authors: Hamilçıkan Şahin , Can Emrah
Published: June 2017

Objective:

To compare the results of pulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in newborn infants performed at <24 h and >24 h following.

Method:

Measurements were taken for each group at <24 h and >24 h following birth. Echocardiography was performed if the SpO2 readings remained abnormal results.

Results:

A total of 4518 newborns were included in this prospective descriptive study. Of these, 2484 (60.3%) were delivered vaginally and 1685 (39.7%) by cesarean section. Median time points of the screening were 25.4 (25.3–25.5) vs. 17.3 (12.2–22.4) hours after birth. In 4109 infants screened 24 h after birth, the mean pre- and postductal oxygen saturations (SpO2) were 96.5±1.99 and 97.7±1.98, while 127 infants screened within 24 h of mean preductal and postductal SpO2 were 91.33±2.64 and 94.0±4.44. No CCHD was detected during the study period. Pulse oximetry screening was false positive for CCHD in 9 of 4109 infants (0.02%); of these, six infants were referred to pediatric cardiology and three cases were diagnosed as other significant, non-cardiac pathology. There were two cases with AVSD (atrioventricular septal defect, three cases with ventricular septal defect (VSD), and one case with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

Conclusions:

Saturation values are different between <24-h and >24-h neonates in pulse oximetry screening. The screening in this study identified infants with other important pathologies, this forms an added value as an assessment tool for newborn infants.

Authors: Chen Zhongxue , Han Shizhong , Wang Kai
Published: June 2017

Many gene- and pathway-based association tests have been proposed in the literature. Among them, the SKAT is widely used, especially for rare variants association studies. In this paper, we investigate the connection between SKAT and a principal component analysis. This investigation leads to a procedure that encompasses SKAT as a special case. Through simulation studies and real data applications, we compare the proposed method with some existing tests.

Seeds of Rebellion
Authors: Speece Darren F.
Published: June 2017

The Redwood Wars were largely defined by dramatic confrontations between activists and timber companies in the woods, in the courts, and in the legislature. The iconic images of those late twentieth-century conflicts include Julia “Butterfly” Hill standing atop the giant redwood she named Luna, and other tree sitters hanging large banners from their perches across the North Coast. Some Americans might conjure images of Charles Hurwitz and junk bond dealer Michael Milken, or of the bombed-out car of Judi Bari. Headwaters Forest in Humboldt County became the center of the Redwood Wars. By the end of the 1980s, most of the popular imagery had emerged from the battles over the fate of that forest. However, the seeds of those tumultuous years were planted during the late 1970s and early 1980s at a less well-known location in southern Humboldt County. At Sally Bell Grove, near the Sinkyone Wilderness and the Lost Coast, local activists embarked on a campaign to resist the ever-expanding industrial logging of multinational logging companies, and protect old-growth redwood groves. To fight industrial liquidation logging, activists commingled direct action, public protest, public comment, and citizen participation provisions for forestry regulation, litigation, and lobbying in ways that drove timber companies mad and compelled reform by the California Department of Forestry (CDF). Organizations and partnerships were formed during the fight over Sally Bell. Legal expertise and “tree-hugging” tactics were honed and coordinated in the courtrooms and the woods. And activists fashioned a style and tone of activism suited to their values and demands. Those tools, tactics, and strategies were repeated over and over again from 1985 through at least the end of the twentieth century. Thus, when Julia “Butterfly” Hill and the scores of other activists perched in trees and filed lawsuits, they operated from a foundation constructed by a generation of Bay Area refugees and native North Coasters who had worked to save their neighborhood from industrial logging.
Missed Nursing Care in Pediatrics
Authors: Lake Eileen T. , de Cordova Pamela B. , Barton Sharon , Singh Shweta , Agosto Paula D. , Ely Beth , Roberts Kathryn E. , Aiken Linda H.
Published: June 2017

OBJECTIVES:

A growing literature suggests that missed nursing care is common in hospitals and may contribute to poor patient outcomes. There has been scant empirical evidence in pediatric populations. Our objectives were to describe the frequency and patterns of missed nursing care in inpatient pediatric settings and to determine whether missed nursing care is associated with unfavorable work environments and high nurse workloads.

METHODS:

A cross-sectional study using registered nurse survey data from 2006 to 2008 was conducted. Data from 2187 NICU, PICU, and general pediatric nurses in 223 hospitals in 4 US states were analyzed. For 12 nursing activities, nurses reported about necessary activities that were not done on their last shift because of time constraints. Nurses reported their patient assignment and rated their work environment.

RESULTS:

More than half of pediatric nurses had missed care on their previous shift. On average, pediatric nurses missed 1.5 necessary care activities. Missed care was more common in poor versus better work environments (1.9 vs 1.2; P < .01). For 9 of 12 nursing activities, the prevalence of missed care was significantly higher in the poor environments (P < .05). In regression models that controlled for nurse, nursing unit, and hospital characteristics, the odds that a nurse missed care were 40% lower in better environments and increased by 70% for each additional patient.

CONCLUSIONS:

Nurses in inpatient pediatric care settings that care for fewer patients each and practice in a professionally supportive work environment miss care less often, increasing quality of patient care.
Newborn Screening for Pompe Disease
Authors: Bodamer Olaf A. , Scott C. Ronald , Giugliani Roberto ,   on behalf of the Pompe Disease Newborn Screening Working Group
Published: June 2017

Started in 1963 by Robert Guthrie, newborn screening (NBS) is considered to be one of the great public health achievements. Its original goal was to screen newborns for conditions that could benefit from presymptomatic treatment, thereby reducing associated morbidity and mortality. With advances in technology, the number of disorders included in NBS programs increased. Pompe disease is a good candidate for NBS. Because decisions regarding which diseases should be included in NBS panels are made regionally and locally, programs and efforts for NBS for Pompe disease have been inconsistent both in the United States and globally. In this article, published in the “Newborn Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment for Pompe Disease” guidance supplement, the Pompe Disease Newborn Screening Working Group, an international group of experts in both NBS and Pompe disease, review the methods used for NBS for Pompe disease and summarize results of current and ongoing NBS programs in the United States and other countries. Challenges and potential drawbacks associated with NBS also are discussed.
Transformaciones de la masculinidad de los tranviarios de Guadalajara durante el Porfiriato
Authors: Alvizo Carranza Cristina
Published: June 2017

Las masculinidades y feminidades se encuentran en constante cambio. Durante el Porfiriato (1876-1911) y su ola de modernización, las ideas de lo que era ser hombre se modificaron y encaminaron hacia imágenes de hombres educados, con modales refinados y vestidos higiénica y elegantemente. Estas nuevas formas de ser hombre se confrontaron y combinaron con el estereotipo del macho.  En este artículo, por medio del análisis de las imágenes y las narrativas de los actores analizo como se construyó el ideal masculino del hombre moderno porfiriano (limpio, educado, trabajador, buen padre de familia) y cómo estos ideales impactaron en la construcción de la masculinidad de un grupo de trabajadores de elite de la ciudad de Guadalajara, los tranviarios, quienes representaban un servicio clave en el desarrollo de la ciudad.

Methanolic Extracts of Cochorous olitorous (L.) and Adansonia digitata (L.) Leaves Against Irradiation-Induced Atherosclerosis in Male Wistar Rats
Authors: BELLO Kabir O. , NWOZO Sarah O. , OLADELE Johnson , MUSTAPHA Kabir K. , QUADRI Lukman A.
Published: June 2017

The present study investigated the anti-atherosclerotic and antioxidative effect of the methanolic extracts (MExt) of Cochorous olitorous (CO) and Adansonia digitata (AD) leaves on irradiation-induced atherosclerosis in male Wistar rats. Atherosclerosis was induced in male rats by a single dose of 6 gray whole body gamma radiation. MExt of C. olitorous and A. digitata leaves at 500 and 1,000 mg/kg bwt were administered as treatment for 7 days. Blood serum was analysed for lipid profile, MDA (malondialdehyde) and liver tissue for antioxidants enzymes, whereas the therapeutic potential was compared to the lipids-lowering drug lovastatin at 10 mg/kg/bwt. The phytochemical studies showed the presence of polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins and saponins. Treatment with MExt of CO and AD normalized the elevated MDA level, whereas the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in the treated rats increased. Pronounced changes were observed at 1,000 mg/kg bwt mixture of MExt of CO and AD for 1 weeks and it was more potent than the standard drug. The current study provided strong evidence that MExt of CO and AD might be important in the treatment of atherosclerosis and ROS without any side effects at the studied dosage and duration.
Plankton Abundance and Physico-chemical Water Quality of Effluent Impacted Waterbodies in Ile-Ife, Nigeria
Authors: ADEDEJI Adebukola Adenike , OLAJIDE Joshua Seun , ALUKO Tolulope Israel , MUHIBBU-DIN Iysa Olorunshina
Published: June 2017

An effluent receiving stream and Opa River to which it drains within Obafemi Awolowo University, South-Western Nigeria, were studied to ascertain the level of physico-chemical and biological pollution. Water samples were collected and analysed using various standard methods for planktonic abundance and selected physico-chemical parameters over a period of seven months. Most of the water quality parameters investigated showed statistically insignificant differences between the stream and Opa River, except of conductivity, nitrate and turbidity. Notable parameters were nutrient level indicator parameters (conductivity, nitrate, organic matter, COD and planktonic abundance) whose mean concentrations were higher in the effluent receiving stream than in Opa River. Even more, the seasonal variations of some of the investigated parameters (sulphate, organic matter and conductivity) at both sampled stations revealed the effect of anthropogenic run-off as additional source of dissolved nutrient and chemical enrichment rather than the effluent only. Highest occurrence of Chlorophyceae and abundance of Bacillariophyceae in the studied water bodies revealed a level of organic pollution, while the low occurrence species diversity of copepod, cladocera, diptera and protozoa further connotes the unfavourable physico-chemical condition of the water bodies. However, this effect was observed to be reduced at the point where the stream emptied into Opa River. Hence, the effect of the effluent discharge may not pose a health risk to several rural communities downstream which rely on the receiving water body primarily as their source of domestic water. Nevertheless, due to the level of organic pollution recorded, it could be suggested that the oxidation pond effluent discharge should be treated and/or recycled before discharge into this natural body of water.

The effects of plant growth promoting (PGP) bacteria on soybean growth and yield were tested in field conditions using four treatments: (A) Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain 526, combined with cell-free supernatants (CFS) of Bacillus sp. strain Q10 and Pseudomonas chlororaphis strain Q16; (B) B. japonicum 526 + Bacillus sp. Q10; (C) B. japonicum 526 + P. chlororaphis Q16 and (D) commercial fertilizer containing B. japonicum, which served as a control. The average values of dry weight per nodule and shoot dry weight had the maximum values in the B treatment. In dry shoots collected at the flowering stage, nitrogen and carbon content was similar across all treatments, while that of sulphur decreased in treatment A. Relative to the control (D), all treatments showed positive effects on pods number and grain mass per plant, with the best results yielded by treatment A. Nitrogen and sulphur content in grain were significantly higher in treatment C, whereas maximum carbon content was measured in treatment B. In the control, it was obtained the yield of 4,000 kgha-1, which was in accordance with data reported by the seed producer for the same growing conditions (the maximum value). The yields of 4,229, as well as 4,286 and 4,400 kg ha-1 were measured for variants C, B and A, respectively, which were statistically significant higher (5.73 to 10%) than the commercial fertilizer (D). The improvement in soybean growth and yield in the field trial achieved by addition of PGP strains Bacillus sp. Q10 and P. chlororaphis Q16 to B. japonicum 526 can result in more productive agricultural practices.
A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Approach to Seasonal and Zooplankton Diversity Relationships in Fishing Grounds of Mannar Gulf, India
Authors: PITCHAIKANI Selvin J. , LIPTON A.P.
Published: June 2017

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique used to emphasize variation and bring out strong patterns in a dataset. It is often used to make data easy to explore and visualize. The primary objective of the present study was to record information of zooplankton diversity in a systematic way and to study the variability and relationships among seasons prevailed in Gulf of Mannar. The PCA for the zooplankton seasonal diversity was investigated using the four seasonal datasets to understand the statistical significance among the four seasons. Two different principal components (PC) were segregated in all the seasons homogeneously. PCA analyses revealed that Temora turbinata is an opportunistic species and zooplankton diversity was significantly different from season to season and principally, the zooplankton abundance and its dynamics in Gulf of Mannar is structured by seasonal current patterns. The factor loadings of zooplankton for different seasons in Tiruchendur coastal water (GOM) is different compared with the Southwest coast of India; particularly, routine and opportunistic species were found within the positive and negative factors. The copepods Acrocalanus gracilis and Acartia erythrea were dominant in summer and Southwest monsoon due to the rainfall and freshwater discharge during the summer season; however, these species were replaced by Temora turbinata during Northeast monsoon season.

Published: June 2017

This paper presents a methodology for the development of augmented reality (AR) visualization applications in industrial scenarios. The proposal presents the use of georreferenced natural markers detected in real time, which enables the construction of AR systems. This use of augmented visualization allows the creation of tools that can aid on-site maintenance activities for operators. AR use makes possible including information about the equipment during a specific procedure. In this work, the detection of natural markers in the scene are based on Haar-like features associated with equipment geolocalization. This approach enable the detection of equipment in multiple user’s viewpoints in the industrial scenario and makes it possible the inclusion of real information about those equipment in real time as AR annotations. In this way, beyond a methodology approach, this paper presents a new way for Power System information visualization in the field that can be used in both for training and for control operations.

USOS DE UMA CIDADE DA LIBERDADE: estudantes africanos em Redenção
Authors: Maciel Wellington
Published: June 2017

Este trabalho analisa a presença de estudantes estrangeiros na cidade de Redenção, Ceará, Brasil. Seu objetivo é compreender as ressignificações que guineenses produzem do espaço urbano. O estudo busca dialogar com as pesquisas sobre a atual diáspora africana no Brasil. Nesses estudos, sobressaem ênfases nas identidades nacionais recriadas por sujeitos deslocados. Observa-se, porém, uma subvalorização dos condicionantes espaciais ao se interpretar a localização desses sujeitos na “terra do outro”. Argumenta-se, neste artigo, que os usos estrangeiros ocorrem no momento em que Redenção presencia o florescimento de um imaginário de cidade da liberdade, por se tratar do primeiro núcleo urbano a libertar os escravizados em fins do século XIX. Após a instalação da Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira em 2010, o novo marco espacial dessa topografia da liberdade, a cidade passou a se apropriar de símbolos que compõem um mosaico de temporalidades históricas contrastantes.

La autonomía del derecho sanitario en la organización institucional de las provincias argentinas
Authors: Ortega Jose Emilio , Espósito Santiago Martin
Published: June 2017

Una vez planteada la autonomía del derecho sanitario en la Argentina, a partir de sentar sus bases, se observará la relación a través de los distintos niveles de gobierno, ya que la existencia de un Estado Federal en la Argentina se traduce en un sistema jurídico multinivel y plurilegislativo en el cual coexisten diversos ordenamientos jurídicos. Por ello resulta necesario conocer el ámbito de competencia específico de cada orden de gobierno y que asuma fundamental importancia la articulación y cooperación en las relaciones intergubernamentales, lo que no está exento de algunas dificultades: ¿En qué consisten los deberes positivos de los distintos órdenes de gobierno, cuál es su alcance y quiénes responden por su cumplimiento? Así como la doctrina ha trabajado muchas cuestiones atinentes a la organización institucional de las provincias argentinas, ha faltado, a nuestro criterio, un estudio transversal en relación con una rama del derecho sumamente importante: el derecho sanitario.
O fim dos manicômios em detrimento da Reforma Psiquiátrica e a reinserção do paciente com transtorno mental na sociedade no âmbito do Distrito Federal, Brasil

Published: June 2017

Este trabalho tem por objeto identificar como a Reforma Psiquiátrica é aplicada no âmbito do Distrito Federal, analisando as instituições psiquiátricas mais tradicionais (Hospital São Vicente de Paulo e Instituto de Saúde Mental) que atuam no tratamento dos pacientes acometidos de transtornos mentais. Ademais, será questionado o tratamento desses pacientes, apontando estudos científicos que demonstram que o paciente institucionalizado possui a saúde mental ainda mais agravada e que, mesmo assim, a política pública não é efetiva em reinserir o paciente na sociedade, ainda que não o cure, mas o adapte ao meio social. Por fim, o trabalho tem o escopo de analisar a estrutura do Distrito Federal no atendimento aos pacientes com transtornos mentais, bem como verificar as formas de inserção desses pacientes na sociedade, criticando as formas de tratamento desses usuários psiquiátricos no âmbito daquelas instituições públicas.
HumanizaSUS e a garantia do Princípio da Integralidade
Authors: Gomes Karina de Morais
Published: June 2017

Este artigo traz uma breve reflexão sobre a importância da humanização e sua incorporação no atual sistema de saúde brasileiro. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de revisão bibliográfica, utilizando-se livros, e artigos científicos na base de pesquisa SCIELO Brasil, complementada pela realização de uma entrevista com o Coordenador Nacional da Política Nacional de Humanização da Atenção e Gestão em Saúde. Aborda-se como esta política pública de saúde pode contribuir para a efetivação dos princípios constitucionais referentes ao direito à saúde, em especial, o direito à atenção integral em saúde. São explanados aspectos da reforma sanitária brasileira, com especial foco na integralidade como um direito constitucional e um pouco da trajetória do direito à saúde. São abordados alguns conceitos sobre integralidade tanto em seu aspecto jurídico como sociológico, além de avaliar sua importância para nortear a construção de uma política pública. A Política Nacional de Humanização da Atenção e Gestão em Saúde é, segundo esta nossa perspectiva, um instrumento que pode ser utilizado para que o direito à assistência à saúde seja efetivado, respeitando parâmetros técnicos, bem como, as subjetividades de todos os atores envolvidos no processo assistencial: usuários, profissionais e gestores. Esta efetivação passa pelo reconhecimento da necessidade de conscientização, da superação de limites e barreiras, tendo como ponto chave a construção dialógica, acerca de quais mudanças precisam acontecer para que tenhamos um Sistema Único de Saúde cada vez melhor.

Una escultura desconocida de Cristóbal Ramos (1725-1799). Iconografía, uso artístico y mentalidad ilustrada a propósito de una imagen de San José con Niño
Authors: Martínez Lara Pedro Manuel , De la Torre Amerighi Iván
Published: June 2017

RESUMEN:El presente trabajo da a conocer una obra inédita, perteneciente a la sevillana colección particular de Carmen Marroco, inequívocamente atribuible al quehacer del maestro escultor Cristóbal Ramos. Ésta representa a San José sedente con Cristo niño en el regazo. El análisis del medio generador que rodea a esta escultura ha revelado cómo en ella están presentes rasgos que remiten claramente a sintagmas tradicionales barrocos, mientras que al mismo tiempo se adscribe a toda una serie de nuevos presupuestos artísticos, sobre todo desde el punto de vista del uso. Una pieza que queda además encuadrada en un ambiente histórico y estético de todo punto interesante pues es testigo de las transformaciones en las relaciones socio-políticas que se originan dentro del medio cultural y artístico, y que se producen en la España durante el último cuarto del siglo XVIII, en el marco de la Ilustración.PALABRAS CLAVE:Cristóbal Ramos, San José, Escultura, Ilustración, Jovellanos.ABSTRACT:This study reveals the unpublished work belonging to the private Sevillian collection of Carmen Marroco, unequivocally attributable to the endeavors of master sculptor, Cristobal Ramos.This work represents seated Saint Joseph with the Christ Child on his lap. The analysis of the creative means surrounding this sculpture has revealed vestiges that clearly depict traditional Baroque syntagma, while at the same time it ascribes to a number of new artistic premises, above all from the perspective of its usage.

Background: Hospital waste management means the management of waste produced in hospitals by using different techniques that will prevent the spread of diseases. Hospital is the place where infectious and non-infectious healthcare waste is being generated and this needs a special precaution for its proper disposal. However, its mismanagement has posed major environmental threats and is now being reported as a serious public health issue worldwide. In developing countries, knowledge, attitude and practices regarding hospital waste management in terms of its segregation, collection, storage, transportation and disposal is limited.

Methods: A cross sectional study using simple convenient sampling was conducted from January to May 2015 at tertiary care hospitals of Muzaffarabad, AJK. A self-designed pretested questionnaire was used. Sample size was 114.  

Results: Mean age of these participants was of 33 years (min 25-maz 41 years) and average work experience was 7 years. Among them, n67 (58%) were male and n47 (42%) were female. n13 (11.4%) were doctors, n68 (60%) were of paramedical staff and n33 (29%) were junior staff. The overall Satisfactory knowledge and attitude score (≥60% answers correct) of doctors was significantly higher than others. Knowledge about the color coding for specific wastes were insignificantly higher among doctors, rather only n4 (30.7%) doctors responded to this question. The overall Satisfactory practice score (≥60% answers correct) of junior staff was higher (94%).

Conclusions: Qualified medical professionals give little importance for hospital waste handling practices evident from lower practice score than the paramedical and lower staff. An important opportunity of possible oversight for hospital waste handling is missed in day to day hospital operation.
Thyroid disorder: treatment with acupuncture
Authors: Arsovska Blagica , Zhu Jihe
Published: June 2017

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck secreting thyroid hormones. When hormones are not secreted properly, the two conditions may occur - hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Acupuncture as a treatment for thyroid disorders is used very common and it can improve the symptoms significantly. The patients is a 42 year old woman, who first came to the clinic on 14.02.2013 with very low level of TSH=0,2. Since then she has made 29 treatments in a period of three years, until 12.01.2016. Acupuncture treatments were made in a clinic for Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture in Skopje, Macedonia. During the treatment her hormone levels normalized, although she faced and unplanned pregnancy and went from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism. The last results are from the analysis made on 12.01.2016 - FT4=9, 7 TSH=2,9 TPO<10 TG<20. Acupuncture has a positive effect as a treatment for thyroid disorders, regulating the flow of the energy and restoring the balance of the internal state of the body.

Authors: Queiroz Eliani de Fátima Covem
Published: June 2017

Um novo elemento marca as ações dos movimentos sociais na contemporaneidade: o uso da Internet e das redes sociais para a convocação de ativistas, divulgação de manifestações e acompanhamento em tempo real do que acontece nas ruas. Essa nova estratégia de ação é denominada de ciberativismo, levando ao empoderamento de grupos de ativistas ao ampliar o alcance das reivindicações assumidas como direitos coletivos.
Being Black (and) Immigrant Students: When Race, Ethnicity, and Nativity Collide
Authors: George Mwangi Chrystal A. , English Shelvia
Published: June 2017

While Black immigrants share some of the racialized experiences of native-black Americans, they also have distinctive experiences. U.S. education presents an important environment to investigate these experiences as immigrants have the fastest growing child population and these children are increasingly entering the education system. This paper engages a systematic review of the growing body of literature centering on Black immigrants across the U.S. P-20 pipeline. Findings reveal that Black immigrants are presented narrowly in terms of the frameworks and research designs used to examine their educational experiences, pointing to a larger issue of a single narrative concerning this group.
Furazolidone Immobilized in a Hydrogel Based on Crosslinked Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Published: June 2017

The paper deals with the obtainment of a polymer-drug system with controlled release of the biological active principle, based on furazolidone included in a hydrogel obtained by crosslinking of carboxymethylcellulose with epichlorohydrine. The influence of temperature and duration of crosslinking reaction on the
crosslinking degree of carboxymethylcellulose (indirectly appreciated by its swelling capacity in polar liquids as water and dimethylformamide/water mixtures) is studied. Kinetic data concerning the inclusion of furazolidone from solution, in the hydrogel of crosslinked carboxymethylcellulose, as well as the release of the drug from the obtained polymer-drug system, are performed. The obtained results evidence that the inclusion
rate as well as the amount of furazolidone diffused into the support depend on the dymethylformamide/water ratio utilized as solvent, and on the drug concentration in solution. The product obtained through the insertion of furazolidone from a DMF/water mixture = 5/1 (with a content of 8.9 mg drug/hydrogel) was studied as to the kinetics of the active principle’s release, in vitro, by using as an eluent a buffer solution, which simulates the gastric fluid (pH = 2.4). The experimental results prove the obtention of a polymerdrug system with controlled release of the biologically active principle, conform to a zero order kinetic, in the time interval ranging between 3–12 hours.

Fifty diverse paddy genotypes were evaluated under low land submerged field condition at two different locations i.e. Hingalganje (North 24 Pgs, West Bengal) and Baruipur (South 24 Pgs, West Bengal) during the kharif seasons for three consecutive years of 2011, 2012 and 2013 for the study of association between yield and yield components under submerged condition where the water depth was more than 50 cm at least for two weeks at the vegetative stage of crop. On the basis of mean performances genotypes viz., Mahananda, Sabita, Nagalmuda, Lakshmikajal, Purnendu and Jaladhi II performed better for seed yield than the tolerant checks. High broad sense heritability along with high genetic gain over mean was also observed for plant height, grains/panicle, test weight, and seed yield. Fertile grains per panicle, panicle length and test weight (1000 seed weight) are consistently highly positively correlated with the seed yield. These yield attributes were the major contributing traits for seed yield in rice under submergence in the set of genotypes under study.

Authors: Shahjahan A. S. , Martin Enciy R.
Published: June 2017

Sorbitol Dehydrogenase (SDH) is important enzymes responsible for the protection of eggs from harsh condition as it convert fructose to sorbitol which serves as polyol and stabilize the soluble proteins and lipid bilayer. The enzyme SDH (d-Idiol NAD oxidoreductase EC 1.1.1.14) is purified from the eggs of red cotton bug, Dysdercus cingulatus exposed to low temperature. The SDH from eggs were purified by using different protein purification technique viz, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration and SDS–PAGE. The ion exchange chromatography showed 0.185U total activity, with a purification fold of 1.48 and yield 3.36%. Gel filtration chromatography showed an increase in purification of SDH activity by 2.73 with 0.095 U total activity and yield of 1.73%.  SDS-PAGE revealed that SDH molecular weight of 38 KDa. The Km value of Fructose: NADH is 0.4:0.01 and the Vmax was 0.6 and 0.03. Thus low temperature increases the activity of SDH which convert fructose to sorbitol which protects the cell during diapause condition.
A formação de cidades ribeirinhas no Araguaia a partir de presídios militares — século XIX
Authors: Carvalho Francisquinha Laranjeira
Published: June 2017

O presente artigo aborda o Rio Araguaia como o caminho, a estrada para o desenvolvimento do comércio, na segunda metade do século XIX. A navegação fluvial brasileira apresenta-se, nesse período, como meio de propiciar condições de vida aos moradores das cidades mais afastadas dos principais centros comerciais e próximas dos rios, fundamentadas no intercâmbio comercial mais efetivo com o exterior. Na primeira metade do século XIX, os receios de invasão externa através dos rios levaram o príncipe D. João VI, em 1809, a viabilizar a política de defesa e proteção do Território Imperial através da implantação de Presídios Militares nos principais rios brasileiros. No vasto sertão do Araguaia, essas tentativas foram frustradas em vista da não permissão dos povos indígenas — Xavantes, Caiapós, Karajás, Javaés, Xambioás e outros, que viviam agrupados em aldeias, avessos à entrada de outros povos de culturas distintas. Na segunda metade do referido século, o governo Imperial, ciente da impossibilidade de desenvolver o comércio via fluvial, optou por adotar a política de Implantação de Presídios Militares com a pretensão de criar os Portos de Embarques e Entrepostos Comerciais para garantir a navegação comercial e a formação de cidades beiras. Uma saída em duplo sentido, para possibilitar uma ligação com o litoral e salvar a Província do marasmo em que se encontrava.
