The Bond identity: Dismantling a franchise in Quantum of Solace
Authors: Dubois Derek
Published: October 2018

For 55 years, the essence of Bond on film has consistently remained the same: British secret-agent with a license to kill, a fondness for fast-women and fast-cars, and a penchant for saving the world in a clinch. However, the 22nd Bond film, Quantum of Solace (Foster, 2008), received mixed reviews upon release with many journalistic critics admonishing the film for breaking with the established James Bond formula. This article argues that Quantum of Solace’s break with key aspects of the James Bond formula stems from the emergence of intertextual references outside of the franchise’s hypotext through the intermingling of three distinct and un-Bond sources: The Jason Bourne franchise, an exploitation genre of female rape-revenge films and Marc Foster’s utilization of art cinema tropes.

Fundador de um clube de empreendedorismo universitário, inspirado por modelos estrangeiros, Guilherme superou diversos desafios em prol de fortalecer um empreendimento e sua marca. Juntamente com seus sócios, o jovem, que possui experiência em startup, priorizou a diversidade no momento de recrutar os primeiros membros do clube. Contudo, esse elemento revelou-se complexo em termos de gestão e trouxe algumas surpresas desagradáveis, ocasionando a dissolução da primeira equipe. Resiliente e com experiência no assunto, ainda que jovem, o empreendedor conseguiu formar uma nova equipe e encontra-se com novos projetos em vista para o clube de empreendedorismo. Amparado pelos aprendizados decorrentes dos erros do passado, os quais Guilherme deseja evitar que ocorram novamente e movido por novos planos, o jovem encontra-se diante daquele que talvez seja o seu maior desafio até o momento: conduzir o processo de sucessão sem que o clube se desfaça. Os dados para a elaboração do caso foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação direta e documentos do clube.

Published: October 2018

Pittosporum undulatum (Australian cheesewood) is considered an ornamental species with high invasive potential, due to its strong adaptation capacity to colonize different habitats. Aiming to support controlling management actions, a review of its botanical, ecological, ethnobotanical and silvicultural aspects are presented. Control programs should include this type of information to ensure that the limited resources devoted to this issue will be efficiently allocated. It is important to address holistically the causes of the invasion, particularly the role of the original structure and functional changes imposed on ecosystems and their processes, since colonization by invasive species.

Background

Bromodihydrochlorophenylbenzodiazepine (Phenazepam®) is used in the therapy of anxiety disorders in patients with alcohol dependence. However, Phenazepam therapy often turns out to be ineffective, and some patients develop dose-related adverse drug reactions (ADR): severe sedation, dizziness, headache, dyspepsia, falling, etc. That ensures the effectiveness of this category of patients. Despite the popularity of Phenazepam® as an anxiolytic drug, there is currently no accurate data on its biotransformation, as well as the effect of polymorphism of a gene on the efficacy and safety of bromodihydrochlorophenylbenzodiazepine in patients. The aim of our study was to study the effect of the polymorphism of the CYP2C19 gene on the efficacy and safety index of Phenazepam® for patients with anxiety disorders, using algorithms for optimizing the therapy of Phenazepam® to reduce the risk of pharmacological resistance and increase the effectiveness of therapy.

Methods

The study was conducted on 86 Russian patients suffering from alcohol dependence. Patients with trauma anxiety disorders received bromdihydrochlorphenylbenzodiazepine in tablets at a dose of 4.0 [2.0; 6.0] mg per day for 5 days. Genotyping was carried out by the method of polymer chain reaction in real time with allele-specific hybridization. Efficiency and safety assessment was carried out using psychometric scales and scales of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) severity scores.

Results

Based on the results of the study, statistically significant differences in the number of scores on the scale of HADS severity of CYP2C19 CT on the third day of therapy were the following: (CC) 10.00 [9.00; 11.00], (CT) 14.00 [13.00; 16.00], (TT) 18.00 [17.00; 19.00], p=0.00, and also on the fifth day: (CC) 6.00 [5.00; 7.00], (CT) 17.50 [16.25; 19.75], (TT) 22.50 [20.00; 24.00], p=0.00. ADRs in patients with different genotypes for this polymorphic marker did not differ.

Conclusions

Thus, it has been shown that the polymorphism of the CYP2C19 gene may influence the effectiveness indices of Phenazepam therapy in patients with anxiety disorders comorbid with alcohol dependence. This should be taken into account in the appointment of this drug in this way in order to increase effectiveness of therapy and improve the quality of life.
Dimension quotients, Fox subgroups and limits of functors
Authors: Mikhailov Roman , Passi Inder Bir S.
Published: October 2018

This paper presents a description of the fourth dimension quotient, using the theory of limits of functors from the category of free presentations of a given group to the category of abelian groups. A functorial description of a quotient of the third Fox subgroup is given and, as a consequence, an identification (not involving an isolator) of the third Fox subgroup is obtained. It is shown that the limit over the category of free representations of the third Fox quotient represents the composite of two derived quadratic functors.

Published: October 2018

We have studied magnetic properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) composite doped with Co ions. The samples were obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. Electron magnetic resonance (EMR) measurements were carried out and temperature dependence of EMR spectra was obtained. Analysis of temperature dependence of the integral intensity of EMR spectra was carried out using Curie-Weiss law. Reciprocal of susceptibility of an antiferromagnetic (AFM) material shows a discontinuity at the Néel temperature and extrapolation of the linear portion to negative Curie temperature. The results of temperature dependence of EMR spectra for the ZnO:Co sample and linear extrapolation to the Curie-Weiss law indicated the AFM interaction between Co ions characterized by the Néel temperatures TN = 50 K and TN = 160 K for various samples. The obtained g-factor is similar to g-factors of nanocrystals presented in literature, and the results confirm that in the core of these nanocrystals Co was incorporated as Co2+, occupying Zn2+ sites in wurtzite structure of ZnO.
Effects of aluminum (Al) incorporation on structural, optical and thermal properties of ZnO nanoparticles
Authors: Ahammed Nashiruddin , Hassan Md Samim , Hassan Mehedi
Published: October 2018

In this research article, pure and 1 %, 3 % and 5 % aluminium doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared via sol-gel method and then calcined at 500 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques were used to investigate the structural, optical and thermal properties of synthesized pure and Al doped ZnO nanoparticles. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis revealed high purity of nanoparticles in the synthesized products without any impurity peaks. Mean dimension of the nanoparticles was ~28 nm and they were hexagonal in shape, according to the images analyzed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The optical absorption spectra of pure and Al doped ZnO samples studied using UV-Vis spectrometry have been presented and we have observed that the band gap increases with increasing Al concentration. In FT-IR spectra, the broad absorption peaks around 485 cm−1and 670 cm−1were assigned to Zn–O vibration. Above 450 °C, the TG curve became flat what means there was no weight loss. In the DSC curve it is seen that the transition at 150 °C was highly exothermic because of structural relaxation and on doping the exothermic peaks became shifted to the lower value of temperature. These types of materials are very useful in optoelectronics applications.

Published: October 2018

Background

Tuberculosis (TB) is making a comeback and has remained one of the main causes of mortality among the list of infectious diseases in Malaysia.

Objective

To evaluate the burden and demographic, socio-economic and behavior as risk factors of TB among communities in Malaysia.

Method

A comprehensive search of Scopus, Sciencedirect, PubMed, DOAJ, CINAHL Plus, MyJournal, BIREME, BMC Public Health, Medline, CAB, EMBASE (Excerpta Medica dataBASE), and Web of Science (WoS) was undertaken from the articles published from 1st January 2008 to 31st December 2017 using medical subject heading (MeSH) key terms.

Results

Of 717 papers screened, 31 eligible studies met our inclusion criteria. Gender, age, marriage status, ethnicity, area of living, being in prison and immigrant were evaluated as demographic factors, while educational level, occupation and household income were evaluated as socio-economic factors. For behavioral factors, smoking, drug abuse, alcohol consumption and other lifestyle practices were evaluated. However, not all the studies were statistically significantly associated with these risk factors. Studies on household income were few and too small to permit a conclusion. We also did not find any study that investigated TB infection among sex workers.

Conclusion

Immigrant in high density settings may increase the progression of disease infection in Malaysia. The risk factors for the development of TB, specifically in a high-risk population, should be targeted through the implementation of specialized interventions. Further research into the role of indoor and outdoor physical environments is required to better understand the association between the physical environment and the social environment with TB infection.

Published: October 2018

Enhancements in the treatment of sexual offenders has been taking place for over four decades. The development of pharmacological therapy has helped to reduce the risk of re-offense and has demonstrated its utility in combination with psychotherapy. However further studies to demonstrate the efficacy of these therapies are required. We conducted a retrospective study in a unit that provides care for sexual offenders (court ordered treatment or voluntary treatment). Among the 224 patients at ERIOS over the past 15 years, we identified 23 patients who had received anti-libidinal treatment (ALM) at some point in their care. The results, obtained from only 22 informative files, indicate that 16 patients presented no notion of deviant fantasy or behavioral relapse under medication. This study also highlights the comorbidities and offers a perspective regarding the improvement in prescribing this type of pharmacological therapy.
Cavitation Erosion Performance of Steel, Ceramics, Carbide, and Victrex PEEK Materials
Authors: Court Spencer , Corni Ilaria , Symonds Nicola
Published: October 2018

Cavitation erosion has to be taken into consideration during material selection in many industrial sectors, e.g., offshore, marine, and oil and gas, in which components operate under severe working conditions. The cavitation erosion equipment, located at the University of Southampton, uses a vibratory apparatus to compare, rank, and characterize the cavitation erosion performance of materials. This article highlights some of the results obtained from industrial research (consultancy) work employing a Hielscher UIP1000hd 20 kHz ultrasonic transducer (Hielscher Ultrasonics GmbH, Teltow, Germany). The transducer is attached to a titanium horn to induce the formation and collapse of cavities in a liquid, creating erosion (material loss) of the specimen undergoing testing. The results from erosion cavitation testing (in accordance with ASTM G32-16, Standard Test Method for Cavitation Erosion Using Vibratory Apparatus (Superseded)) of two commercially available steels are presented herein and are shown to have less resistance to cavitation when compared to polyether(ether ketone), ceramic, and carbide materials. These materials are presented, along with Nickel 200, which was used to normalize the results. A plot of cumulative erosion versus exposure time was determined by periodic interruption of the test.
The Psychology of Victorian Buddhism and Rudyard Kipling’s Kim
Authors: Kreisel Deanna K.
Published: October 2018

Deanna K. Kreisel, “The Psychology of Victorian Buddhism and Rudyard Kipling’s Kim” (pp. 227–259)

This essay demonstrates that Rudyard Kipling’s Kim (1901) engages deeply with several aspects of Buddhist thought that were also of central concern to nineteenth-century British psychology. It describes several central tenets of Buddhism as understood by Victorian exegetes, paying particular attention to the ways this discourse became surprisingly approbatory over the course of the century. It also performs close readings of three key passages in Kipling’s novel dealing with identity, will, and self-discipline that illuminate the author’s understanding of the subtleties of Buddhist thought. Its attention to the ways in which Kipling’s novel engages Asian religious practice, particularly the “esoteric” practices of meditation and trance, complicates an entrenched reading of the novel as championing British triumphalism; it does so by challenging earlier interpretations of the religious elements in Kim as constituting straightforward evidence for the novel’s endorsement of the imperial project.
Researching Vietnamese Politics
Authors: Malesky Edmund
Published: October 2018

In the the spring 2018 issue of Journal of Vietnamese Studies, Martin Gainsborough’s “Malesky vs. Fforde” offers to adjudicate a supposed dispute between two highly cited scholars of modern Vietnamese politics. Purportedly drawing on the philosophical traditions of ontology and epistemology, Gainsborough claims that we can gain traction as a field by looking closely into the preexisting belief systems that scholars bring to their research questions. Along the way, Gainsborough questions the plausibility of my own work and claims that I smuggle “liberal” values into my writing on Vietnam. In this response, I discuss five dimensions in which Gainsborough and I disagree and why they matter for studying Vietnamese politics. I do so by contrasting my choices with Gainsborough’s scholarship (both in “Malesky vs. Fforde” and other work), illustrating how Gainsborough’s research decisions lead him to faulty and damaging conclusions about my work.
Spatial variability of throughfall under single birch and pine tree canopies
Authors: Zabret Katarina , Šraj Mojca
Published: October 2018

The influence of tree characteristics and meteorological variables on spatial variability of throughfall under a single silver birch and black pine tree was evaluated. During the year 2016 throughfall was measured at 11 points under each tree canopy. For 30 analysed events total throughfall under the birch tree accounted for 73% and under the pine tree 56% of the rainfall in the open. The coefficient of variation of point throughfall was 30% and 40% for the birch and pine tree, respectively. In case of the birch tree both the distance from the stem and canopy coverage influenced throughfall spatial variability, which also showed different patterns during leafed and leafless periods. Additionally, the amount of rainfall and its microstructure influenced the spatial variability of throughfall under the birch tree. However, among the considered tree characteristics only canopy coverage was recognized as a parameter influencing spatial variability of throughfall under the pine. Furthermore, its spatial patterns were specified by meteorological variables, namely the amount of rainfall and its intensity.
Genetic Contributions to Ectopic Sperm Cell Migration in Caenorhabditis Nematodes
Authors: Ting Janice J , Tsai Caressa N , Schalkowski Rebecca , Cutter Asher D
Published: October 2018

Reproductive barriers involving gametic incompatibilities can act to enhance population divergence and promote the persistence of species boundaries. Observing gametic interactions in internal fertilizing organisms, however, presents a considerable practical challenge to characterizing mechanisms of such gametic isolation. Here we exploit the transparency of Caenorhabditis nematodes to investigate gametic isolation mediated by sperm that can migrate to ectopic locations, with this sperm invasion capable of inducing female sterility and premature death. As a step toward identifying genetic factors and mechanisms associated with female susceptibility to sperm invasion, we characterized a panel of 25 C. elegans genetic mutants to test for effects on the incidence and severity of sperm invasion in both conspecific and inter-species matings. We found genetic perturbations to contribute to distinct patterns of susceptibility that identify ovulation dynamics and sperm guidance cues as modulators of ectopic sperm migration incidence and severity. Genotypes confer distinctive phenotypic sensitivities to the sperm from conspecific C. elegans males vs. heterospecific C. nigoni males, implicating evolution of functional divergence in the history of these species for components of sperm-reproductive tract interactions. Sexually-antagonistic co-evolution within species that drives divergent trait and molecular evolution between species provides a working model to explain mismatched species-specific gametic interactions that promote or mitigate ectopic sperm migration.

Published: October 2018

In this study, the population structure of the white grunt (Haemulon plumieri) from the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula was determined through an otolith shape analysis based on the samples collected in three locations: Celestún (N 20°49’,W 90°25’), Dzilam (N 21°23’, W 88°54’) and Cancún (N 21°21’,W 86°52’). The otolith outline was based on the elliptic Fourier descriptors, which indicated that the H. plumieri population in the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula is composed of three geographically delimited units (Celestún, Dzilam, and Cancún). Significant differences were observed in mean otolith shapes among all samples (PERMANOVA; F2, 99 = 11.20, P = 0.0002), and the subsequent pairwise comparisons showed that all samples were significantly differently from each other. Samples do not belong to a unique white grunt population, and results suggest that they might represent a structured population along the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. En este estudio, la estructura de la población del ronco blanco (Haemulon plumieri) de la costa norte de la Península de Yucatán fue determinada a través del análisis de la forma del otolito, sobre la base de las muestras recolectadas en tres localidades: Celestún (N 20°49’, W 90°25’), Dzilam (N 21°23’, W 88°54’) y Cancún (N 21° 21’, O 86° 52’). El análisis del contorno de los otolitos se basó en los descriptores elípticos de Fourier, cuyo enfoque indicó que la población de H. plumieri en la costa norte de la Península de Yucatán se compone al menos de tres unidades delimitadas geográficamente (Celestún, Dzilam y Cancún). Se observaron diferencias significativas en la forma del otolito entre todas las muestras (PERMANOVA, F2, 99 = 11.20, P = 0.0002) y las comparaciones por pares posteriores indicaron que todas las muestras fueron significativamente diferentes una de otra. Al parecer, las muestras no pertenecen a una única población, y los resultados sugieren que podría representar una población bien estructurada a lo largo de la costa norte de la Península de Yucatán.
Comparing the duration of spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine between drug-dependent and non-dependent patients
Authors: Beirami Faranak , Khoshfetrat Masoum , Khosravi Hadi , Keykha Aliakbar
Published: October 2018

Background & Aim: Drug abusers have much lower pain threshold, in a way that the duration of the effect of anesthesia on controlling their pain is still not fully known. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the duration of spinal anesthesia induced with bupivacaine between drug-dependent and non-dependent individuals.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on two 60-member groups consisting of drug-dependent and non-dependent patients undergoing lowerlimb orthopedic surgery. Patients were selected via simple convenience sampling and underwent a similar procedure of spinal anesthesia using the same needle and medicine by an anesthesiologist, who was unaware of the patients' placement in the study groups. After surgery, the duration of patients' anesthesia was correspondingly measured in both groups and compared using the independent t-test.
Results: In this research study, no significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of age and gender. The mean duration of opium abuse in the drug-dependent patient group was reported to be 7.5+/-1.3 years. In addition, the duration of spinal anesthesia in the drug-dependent patient group was shorter, compared to the non-dependent group (P=0.0001).
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, intrathecal bupivacaine is not a durable anesthesia, for performing surgeries that might last more than an hour, in drug-dependent patients.

Published: October 2018

A autorregulação refere-se aos pensamentos, sentimentos e ações que são planejados e ciclicamente adaptados para o alcance dos objetivos traçados pelo indivíduo. Dentro dessa totalidade, encontra-se o monitoramento metacognitivo, habilidade pela qual o sujeito “acompanha” e avalia sua própria cognição. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar o monitoramento de adultos em processo de alfabetização por meio do julgamento, entendido como uma medida do monitoramento metacognitivo, sobre o desempenho em tarefas cognitivas que avaliam o fator geral de inteligência, a velocidade de processamento e a memória de curto prazo. Também foi investigada a existência de diferenças nas relações entre desempenhos reais e estimados e em quais tarefas cognitivas o desempenho real mais se relaciona ao desempenho estimado. Participaram do estudo 34 alunos de um programa de alfabetização para adultos, de ambos os gêneros e com idade entre 40 e 60 anos. Os materiais utilizados para a coleta de dados foram: Entrevista Inicial (EI), Teste R-1 e os subtestes Código, Procurar Símbolos e Dígitos da Escala Wechsler de Inteligência para Adultos III (WAIS III), e Registro de Julgamento de 0 a 100. Os resultados indicaram que os escores reais dos participantes foram mais baixos quando comparados com sujeitos de maior escolaridade das amostras normativas dos instrumentos. A partir das correlações de Pearson, observou-se correlação significativa entre o desempenho real e o julgamento do desempenho no subteste Códigos.

A bacia hidrográfica é o espaço físico de gestão dos diversos usos da água, onde se pode melhor perceber e entender os impactos sobre a quantidade e principalmente a qualidade da água como resultante de fenômenos naturais e da atuação do homem. Assim, objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar a influência da sazonalidade e uso e ocupação do solo sobre a qualidade da água do córrego das Lagoas, localizado no município de Ilha Solteira – SP. As amostragens foram realizadas durante o período de estiagem (maio a outubro) e chuvoso (novembro a abril), com periodicidade mensal, entre os meses de maio de 2012 a abril de 2013, em dois pontos de amostragem. As amostras foram analisadas quanto aos parâmetros físicos e químicos e os resultados das análises mostraram que o córrego das Lagoas apresenta alterações ligadas a fatores temporais e espaciais. Observa-se a perda progressiva da qualidade das águas no período chuvoso, e diferenças na qualidade da nascente para a foz. Conclui-se que a nascente do córrego das Lagoas, necessita de uma atenção especial, devido a redução do OD e pH, tornando inviável para a sobrevivência de muitos seres vivos de vida aquática. Assim, é de extrema importância medidas mitigadoras a fim, de não comprometer a qualidade hídrica principalmente neste ponto que se trata de uma nascente.

YIELD FORMATION CAPACITY, SOIL WATER CONSUMPTION PROPERTY, AND PLANT WATER USE EFFICIENCY OF WHEAT UNDER WATER-SAVING CONDITIONS IN NORTH CHINA PLAIN
Authors: ZHANG Jianheng , WANG Guiyan , ZHOU Damai , XIAO Kai
Published: October 2018

The drastically reduced underground water and shortage of the water resource have caused limitation for the winter wheat (T. aestivum) production in North China Plain. In this study, using a drought-tolerant wheat cultivar Shimai 18 as material, we investigated the yield formation capacity, soil water consumption property, and the plant water use efficiency (WUE) of wheat under various irrigation treatments. Our results indicated that the yield capacities of wheat varied largely across irrigation treatments in three growth seasons with contrasting precipitation patterns. The wheat yields showed constant in growth season with more rainfall and lowered to some extent in seasons with regular or less rainfall under I1 (water-saving condition with one time of irrigation) compared with I3 (regular irrigation with three times of irrigation). Along with increase of the irrigation times, plant WUE lowered drastically in all of three growth seasons examined, together with significantly increased evapotranspiration (ET) amount and relative constant of soil water deposits. These results suggested that the water-saving management is feasible in the winter wheat production in North China Plain. Additionally, the plant leaf area index (LAI), dry matter accumulation, and biomass partitioning rate of vegetative tissues during late growth stage (from flowering to maturity) were consistent with the yield formation capacities of the wheat cultivar. Our investigation indicates that the water-saving management using drought tolerant cultivars is effective in production of winter wheat in North China Plain, which can drastically improve the plant WUE and maintain the sustainable wheat productivity under reduced irrigation conditions.

Published: October 2018

Repaso de la epigrafía del emirato y del protocolo de sus epitafios, con edición, traducción y estudio de dos piezas labradas con escritura árabe de estilo cúfico «arcaico». Una lápida se halló, fuera de contexto, en excavaciones practicadas junto a la catedral de Tudela; la otra es el epitafio de una dama Omeya descubierto antes de 1960, sin duda en la ciudad de Córdoba. Estas lápidas emirales se incorporan a la treintena de inscripciones conocidas del siglo IX en la Península Ibérica.
Paisajes, comunidades y poderes centrales: el centro-oeste de la Península Ibérica durante la Alta Edad Media (S. VI-XI)
Authors: Martín Viso Iñaki
Published: October 2018

El estudio se centra en la construcción social de los paisajes rurales durante el periodo altomedieval en el centro-oeste de la península ibérica. Se analizan las transformaciones en la ordenación de territorio, los aprovechamientos agroganaderos y las formas de representación social en el paisaje. Se discuten además aspectos relativos a las teorías sobre el colapso social, un fenómeno que puede definir la evolución de la región en esos siglos. El resultado es un paisaje rural cambiante, sin fuertes deterioros medioambientales. En general, los impulsos procedentes de las comunidades locales fueron mucho más intensos que los que emanan de las autoridades centrales.

Background: The Pilates Method is a program of physical and mental training that involves the whole body, aiming at the gain of muscular strength, mainly of the central region, formed by the abdominal muscles, the spine and the pelvic floor muscles (PFM). The PFM responds to sexual stimulation, with increased local blood circulation and involuntary contractions during orgasm. The training of this musculature assists in the female sexual function. Objective: To evaluate the influence of Pilates Mat associated with perineal contraction in the female sexual response. Method: Uncontrolled clinical trial in which participated twelve women between 20 and 50 years old, who performed Mat Pilates classes associated with perineal exercises, three times a week. The sexual response was evaluated through the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the contraction capacity of PFM through the Functional Evaluation of the Pelvic Floor (FEPF) before and after 21 sessions. Results: Given the proposed treatment, the FSFI responded positively (0.0099), with an improvement in the median and interquartile range that initially was 25.6 ± 5.4 and increased to 28.4 ± 1.2. The Functional Evaluation of the Pelvic Floor (FEPF) also achieved significant improvement (p= 0.0077), increased from the initial median and interquartile range of 2 ± 1.5 to 4 ± 1. Conclusion: Mat Pilates provides encouraging results, and its use is relevant to promote improved sexual response and strength gain of the pelvic floor muscle.

Os compressores parafuso representam cerca de 50% de todos os compressores atualmente produzidos. Eles têm larga aplicação nas indústrias alimentícia e de bebidas, farmacêuticas, químicas e têxteis. São estudados dois tipos de acionamentos: o ciclo carga/alívio e o acionamento à velocidade variável (AVV). O artigo mostra a influência da pressão de trabalho sobre o balanço energético do sistema e seus acionamentos. Há redução na demanda de energia com o uso do AVV de até 23%, enquanto que reduzindo a pressão de trabalho há redução na demanda de até 11%.

Published: October 2018

Context: Cyberbullying is considered a public health problem with serious consequences on adolescents’ health and well-being. Objective: To analyze the relationships between emotional symptoms and risk behaviors with cyberbullying and understand the role of these factors as predictors of well-being. Design: This is a cross-sectional study based on the 2014 Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children of the World Health Organization (HBSC/WHO) study. Results: More girls reported being involved in cyberbullying as cybervictims, whereas more boys reported being involved in cyberbullying as cyberbullies and cyberbully victims. Girls reported more emotional symptoms, especially fear and sadness; boys reported more risk behaviors, specifically drug use and involvement in fights, but a higher well-being when compared to girls. Cyberbullies and cyberbully victims reported higher alcohol consumption than cybervictims; cyberbullies also reported higher drugs consumption compared to cybervictims and cyberbully victims. Well-being was predicted by emotional symptoms and age, independently of gender; for girls, involvement in fights also predicted well-being. Conclusions: If boys and girls, as well as cybervictims, cyberbullies, and cyberbully victims, present different levels of well-being, emotional symptoms, and risk behaviors vary in function of cyberbullying, it is crucial to develop individual interventions focused on the specific needs of each group.
Closure and Justice: A Qualitative Study of Perspectives From Homicide Survivorship Experts
Authors: Saco Larissa , Dirks Danielle
Published: October 2018

The criminal justice system and the media perpetuate the rhetoric of closure, which frames the end of grief for homicide survivors, or murder victims’ loved ones, as an attainable goal on their path to healing. Public discourse has also framed the death penalty as justice for survivors. However, little scholarly attention has addressed survivors’ experiences and perceptions of closure and justice. This research addresses this gap in the literature using in-depth, qualitative interviews with 36 community, academic, and criminal justice experts on homicide survivorship, 12 of whom are homicide survivors themselves. Using grounded theory, we derived six themes on closure and justice from the data. The majority of respondents indicate that survivors do not experience closure, and that they consider the term misleading. The question as to the meaning of justice produced more disparate responses. While many indicated that justice has unique meanings for individual survivors, holding the perpetrator accountable emerged as the most common theme. Half of the respondents also indicated that justice does not exist in homicide cases because of their difficult experiences with the criminal justice system. The findings have implications for policy, practice, and future research.

Researchers rarely consider if different theoretical models are needed to understand the etiology of men’s sexual aggression against women in steady as compared to casual relationships. A modified confluence model was evaluated with survey data from 556 young, single men. Hostile masculinity was the only assessed risk factor that had a direct relationship to sexual aggression against steady and casual partners. Impersonal sex and friends’ approval of forced sex were directly related to sexual aggression against casual partners; whereas, heavy alcohol consumption was directly related to sexual aggression against steady partners. Psychopathy-related personality traits were indirectly related to both types of sexual aggression. The model explained a moderate amount of variance in casual date perpetration, but only a small amount of variance in steady date perpetration. Thus, more research and theory is needed to understand violence in this type of relationship.
The Role of Racial Identity in the Relationship Between Life Stressors and Depressive Symptoms Among Black Adults in the United States
Authors: Archibald Paul , Daniels Kevin , Dobson-Sydnor Kim
Published: October 2018

The disproportionate rate of life stressors coupled with the unexpected lower rates of mental disorders among African Americans demands concurrent consideration of their cultural coping capacity. Racial identity (β = −.15, p < .01) and the interaction term assessing the moderating effect of racial identity on the relationship between life stressors and depressive symptoms (β = −.08, p < .01) remained significant when controlling for social demographics, despite the significant relationship of age, income, educational status, and work status. Findings from the analyses indicate that higher racial identity significantly reduced the relationship between life stressors and depressive symptoms, and lower racial identity significantly increased the relationship between life stressors and depressive symptoms even in the presence of social demographics.

Sopravvivenza a lungo termine in paziente trattata con lapatinib e capecitabina
Authors: Mulas Carlo
Published: October 2018

Si riporta il caso di donna affetta da carcinoma della mammella metastatico, in trattamento con lapatinib e capecitabina, che presenta una lunga sopravvivenza libera da progressione. La malattia si caratterizza per l’estrema aggressività con la comparsa di recidiva dopo appena un anno dalla fine del trattamento adiuvante standard: la progressione infatti avviene in maniera improvvisa e diffusa dopo circa 13 mesi dal termine della terapia di I linea con pertuzumab, trastuzumab e docetaxel, con interessamento di diversi organi splancnici e dell’encefalo. La II linea di trattamento consiste nella combinazione di lapatinib + capecitabina iniziati dopo terapia radiante encefalica e si contraddistingue per l’estrema tollerabilità e per la risposta viscerale che perdura a tutt’oggi dopo 14 mesi di trattamento (Oncology).
