Published: December 2017

Objetivo: Este trabalho visa relatar um caso de exodontia de mesiodens em criança, diagnosticado precocemente, após a espera de momento oportuno para intervir de forma conservadora. Relato de caso: Paciente com 5 anos de idade e queixa principal de desconforto na região de incisivos superiores decíduos. Os exames clínico e radiográfico revelaram abaulamento em mucosa vestibular com fístula no dente 61 e anomalia dental diagnosticada como mesiodens na região de pré-maxila. O tratamento proposto foi exodontia imediata do dente 61 e intervalo de espera até erupção do supranumerário. Após um período de nove meses, estando o supranumerário já presente na cavidade bucal, o mesmo foi removido e a proservação foi realizada por 2 anos até a erupção do dente 21. Considerações finais: O diagnóstico precoce e a intervenção em momento oportuno favorecem a realização de intervenções conservadoras e cooperação da criança no procedimento realizado.

ResumoObjetivo: Verificar a prevalência e coeficientes de mortalidade específica de dengue no Brasil na população de idosos correlacionando as taxas por sexo feminino e masculino. Métodos: Estudo ecológico descritivo com delineamento de tendência temporal. Foram usadas como fontes de dados o Sistema de Informação Hospitalar, Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade e Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística.  A população correspondeu aos idosos com idade entre 60 e 100 anos atendidos no Sistema Único de Saúde e que tiveram diagnóstico de dengue entre os anos de 2008 e 2015. Resultados: As taxas de prevalência não se alteraram no âmbito da população geral entre os anos de 2008 e 2015. Houve aumento significativo no número de mortes por dengue. No grupo de idosos, a prevalência aumentou substancialmente, e a mortalidade específica nesse grupo apresentou valores muito maiores que a mortalidade da população geral acometida pela dengue. Conclusões: São de extrema importância estudos sobre o acometimento da dengue em grupos de idosos para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas e criação de protocolos específicos no diagnóstico e tratamento nessa faixa etária, considerando a falta de evidências científicas que comportem conduta adequada no manejo de tais pacientes.Palavras-chave:Dengue.

Published: December 2017

ResumoA importância das micro e pequenas empresas (MPE) pode ser notada pela relevante geração de riquezas e de empregos no Brasil. Contudo, os índices de insucesso e mortalidade para esse gênero de empresas são muito elevados e têm como um dos principais causadores a dificuldade no gerenciamento do capital de giro. A realização deste estudo teve como objetivo identificar e discutir os principais fatores, no âmbito da gestão de capital de giro, que prejudicam a continuidade das atividades das MPE industriais. A pesquisa envolveu uma coleta de dados com gestores de 55 MPE industriais.  Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram sete fatores mais importantes que interferem negativamente na gestão de capital de giro: formação inadequada dos gestores, acúmulo de atividade dos gestores, falta de planejamento financeiro, ausência de acompanhamento de indicadores de gestão, deficiência na gestão de estoque e produção, falta de condições de negociação com os fornecedores e restrições financeiras. Os resultados alcançados podem contribuir com a comunidade acadêmica e empresarial para ampliar a compreensão do que prejudica e dificulta a gestão de MPE, especialmente as que possuem atividade fabril. Palavras-chave: Capital de Giro; Micro e Pequenas Empresas; Mortalidade Empresarial.  AbstractThe importance of micro and small enterprises (SME) can be noticed by the relevant generation of wealth and jobs in Brazil. However, the rates of failure and mortality for this type of company are very high and have as one of the main causes the difficulty in the management of working capital. The objective of this study was to identify and discuss the main factors in the scope of working capital management, which hinder the continuity of the activities of industrial SME. The research involved a data collection with 55 industrial MPE managers. The research results pointed to seven major factors that negatively affect working capital management: inadequate training of managers, accumulation of managerial activity, lack of financial planning, lack of monitoring of management indicators, deficiencies in stock management and production, lack of negotiation conditions with suppliers and financial restrictions. The results achieved can contribute to the academic and business community to broaden the understanding of what harms and hinders the management of MSE, especially those that have factory activity. Keywords: Working Capital; Micro and Small Enterprises; Corporate Mortality.

Le vétérinaire et la sécurité civile
Authors: Grandidier Gérard
Published: December 2017

Les populations se trouvent placées en permanence sous l’épée de Damoclès du risque. Sa prévention et la préparation des mesures pour y faire face doivent assurer ou rétablir la sécurité civile.

La profession vétérinaire a un rôle à jouer dans cette approche sécuritaire qui passe d’abord par une connaissance de l’organisation de la sécurité civile. Sa place au sein des structures de sécurité civile, au quotidien comme dans le temps de crise, ne sera effective que par un engagement volontaire et une formation préalable, la voie sapeur-pompier étant la plus opérationnelle.

La toute jeune Société Vétérinaire Française de Médecine de catastrophe constitue aussi un élément de réponse.
Mode, modèles, modélisation et recherche pharmacologique
Authors: Rossignol Paul
Published: December 2017

Mode, models, modelling in pharmacological research.

The mode of experimenting by means of models of less accessible real subjects are now very usual in pharmacology. Critical examination of models issued from animal kingdom leads to consider that tautology and reductionism decrease their heuristic or prospective efficacy.

On the other hand, molecular modelling, mainly based on structural knowledge of selective targets for drugs (receptors, ionic channels, enzymes) allows us to foredesign by computation their energetic and spatial configuration as if ligands were linked there. Thus, it is possible to select the fittest among them.

Published: December 2017

Digital and social media are now widely used to promote engagement in health programs and improve health behaviors across a variety of age groups and domains. However, limited research exists on applying culturally relevant, new media interventions specific to Latino immigrant youth. This paper describes the pilot Adelante Youth Ambassador program for Latino immigrant youth, which used digital media and community-based participatory research to build positive youth development (PYD) assets as a prevention mechanism to reduce co-occurring health risks of substance use, sexual risk, and interpersonal violence. We worked collaboratively with adolescents to create video content as a conduit for Adelante-branded messages to be disseminated on the program’s social media platforms. Using an active audience engagement methodology, youth participants informed the development of prevention messages, scripts for the videos, and acted in videos. Participants disseminated content to their social media networks and engaged peers in dialogue about topics addressed in the videos. Using pre and post tests, we evaluated changes in PYD assets (Civic Action Competence, Confidence, Connection to Community, and Connection to Peers) and skills related to digital media use, communication, and advocacy. The program used innovative branding and social media strategies to engage Latino youth in health risk prevention.

Emotional (Un)Belonging in Aminatta Forna's "The Memory of Love"
Authors: Pérez Fernández Irene
Published: December 2017

War and its aftermaths are at the kernel of The Memory of Love, yet, rather than only dwelling on loss and suffering, the novel explores the enabling possibilities of emotion, and love in particular, as the title suggests, through the lenses of characters who are survivors or witnesses of the devastating civil war in Sierra Leone. In this article, I shall argue that Forna’s novel encourages the reader who has not experienced first-hand such distressing events to recognize the emotional spaces of others. Drawing on Sara Ahmed’s views of emotions as openness (2004), I shall analyse the reasons behind these apparently unlikely interpersonal emotional connections. I shall examine how the main characters in the novel, Mamakay, Agnes, Kai and Adrian, establish interpersonal relations that allow them to come to terms with the ordinary spaces that surround them and eventually construct alternative emotional spaces. The narrative, thus, depicts emotions as fluid, non-static temporal positions, from where to start alternative journeys of surviving and of being. The spaces of emotion form a continuum in the characters’ lives: they are never fixed, never stable, never secured but always adapting, reinventing themselves and changing.
“Are you being serious, Frankenstein?” Transtextuality and Postmodern Tenets in Peter Ackroyd’s "The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein"
Authors: Miquel-Baldellou Marta
Published: December 2017

This article is grounded on the premise that the story behind Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus (1818) has acquired the status of a myth, which has been subjected to all sorts of adaptations that have ensured its current popularity. Looking into Frankenstein as a romantic text with certain traits that forestall postmodern theories, this study approaches Peter Ackroyd’s novel The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein (2008) as a postmodern adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic through Gérard Genette’s inclusive critical term of transtextuality. With the aim to identify Ackroyd’s contribution to the myth of Frankenstein, this article analyses instances of intertextuality, insofar as Ackroyd’s text reproduces quotations from some of Mary Shelley’s autobiographical writings as well as from her seminal novel Frankenstein. Through displays of hypertextuality, Ackroyd’s postmodern novel also transforms Shelley’s original story resorting to metafiction, introducing changes in the structure and the focalisation of the narrative, and making use of parodic elements. Finally, Ackroyd’s postmodern novel also presents examples of metatextuality, inasmuch as it incorporates twists in the plot as a result of applying different critical readings of Mary Shelley’s seminal text.

Authors: Cremonez Filipe Eliazar , Tessele Augusto , Missio Robson Fernando , Cremonez Paulo André , Miranda Vinicius Thomé
Published: December 2017

A planta de pinhão manso encontra-se entre as culturas com grande potencial energético, devido à grande concentração de óleo nas suas sementes, e seu alto poder calorífico. Entretanto, a maturação desuniforme é um problema na colheita, principalmente levando em consideração o melhor momento para se colher os frutos visando maior rendimento de óleo. Neste sentido, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar quais características dos frutos de pinhão manso indicam a melhor época para colheita visando maior rendimento de teor de óleo nas sementes. Para tal, coletaram-se em 2013 e 2014 frutos de pinhão-manso em diferentes estádios de maturação: frutos verdes escuros (VE), frutos amarelos (AM), frutos marrom-amarelados (MA) e frutos marrons na planta (MP). Destes, avaliou-se, tanto das sementes como dos frutos, o comprimento, largura, espessura e a massa seca. Dos frutos avaliou-se ainda a porcentagem de umidade, e das sementes avaliou-se o teor de óleo. Tanto em 2013 como em 2014, para as variáveis relacionadas com dimensões (comprimento, largura e espessura), tanto nos frutos como nas sementes, as maiores médias foram obtidas pelos frutos verdes. Em contrapartida, tanto para os frutos como para as sementes, observou-se que os frutos mais maduros apresentam maior matéria seca onde obteve-se médias de 60,28% e 92,52 em 2013 e 62,79% e 80,31% em 2014 respectivamente para MA e MP. Já quanto ao teor de óleo os estádios de maturação mais adequados à colheita de pinhão manso encontram-se imediatamente após o amarelecimento dos frutos, quando os mesmos apresentam quantidade de óleo mais elevada.
Preceptorship vs. clinical models of learning: The experiences of Bahraini nursing students
Authors: Busubaia Toqa Jameel , O’Neill Catherine S.
Published: December 2017

Background: Different models of teaching and learning are used to produce competent skilled clinical nurses. Some are traditional clinical teaching methods while others are grounded in preceptorship principles of mentoring. Knowledge regarding student nurses’ experiences of preceptorship and its meaning for them can enhance the understanding of stakeholders in academia and practice to the needs of senior nursing students’ and can offer them guidance to construct a more efficient approach to clinical teaching.Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the lived experiences of senior student nurses of preceptorship, while on clinical placements , with the objectives of describing their experiences and their relations with preceptors and also to illustrate the factors that facilitated or hindered the clinical learning process.Methods: A phenomenological hermeneutical inquiry was utilized. Data collection was conducted using semi-structured interviews with ten purposively chosen senior nursing students. Smith’s Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used as a framework for data analysis.Results: Students’ lived experiences of preceptorship were mainly positive. Three main themes were identified: (1) Role Model Identification; (2) Team Integration; (3) Interpersonal Professional and Structural Challenges. The findings showed that preceptor relationships shaped the acquisition of skills and knowledge of student nurses’ during their clinical placements.Conclusions: The findings illustrate the importance of collaboration between the academy and practice in providing support for student nurses and their preceptors. In addition, careful selection, comprehensive training and rewards for preceptors can enhance and facilitate student nurses’ learning.

Published: December 2017

Small stakeholder farmers in southern coastal plains of Yemen as in other Arabian Peninsula countries are fanciers and suffering from shortage of forages mainly during winter season. This study was carried out during three years (2012-2014) at farmers’ fields in the southern coastal plain in Bir Jabir, Lahej in Yemen on loamy-sand soil, to determine the best irrigation water productivity of two exotic and one indigenous (local) accessions of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.), cultivated at two farmer fields. Irrigation water has been added by the quantity and dates according to the farmer experience without any intervention of the researcher. The amount of added irrigation water was measured. Statistical analysis emphasized significant differences in the number of tillers per plant, in the forage fresh yield and in the irrigation water productivity (IWP) among buffel grass accessions. The highest number of tillers was recorded at Gayandah whereas the USA accession has showed the lowest one. The average forage fresh yields have reached 230.5, 208.9 and 181.4 kg/ha for Gayandah, USA and local respectively. The average irrigation water productivity (IWP) was 39.1 kg/m3. The significant difference (P = 0.048) was in favor of Gayandah accession which registered the highest IWP (43.7 kg/m3). However, there was no significant difference observed in IWP between USA and the local accession, even though this latter has apparently produced the lowest value (36.2 kg/m3).

Published: December 2017

The objectives of this study were to determine the optimum plot size (Xo) and the number of replications to evaluate the grains yield of rye (Secale cereale L.) and investigate the variability of Xo between two cultivars and three sowing dates. Eighteen uniformity trials were conducted with rye. The Xo was determined by the method of maximum curvature of the coefficient of variation model. The number of repetitions was determined in scenarios formed by combinations of i treatments (i = 3, 4, ... 50) and d minimum differences between means of treatments to be detected as significant at 0.05 of probability, by Tukey test, expressed in percentage of the average of the experiment (d = 10, 12, ... 30%). There is variability in optimum plot size to evaluate the grains yield among the cultivars BRS Progresso and Temprano and among sowing dates in the rye crop. The optimum plot size to evaluate the grains yield of rye is 6.08 m2. Seven replicates are sufficient to evaluate the grains yield of rye in experiments with up to 50 treatments, and identify, as significant at 5% probability by Tukey test, differences among averages of treatments of 29.65% of the mean of the experiment in designs completely randomized and randomized block.

Authors: Simonetti Ana Paula Morais Mourão , Christ Divair
Published: December 2017

The objective of this work is to evaluate the insecticidal and attractiveness of concentrations of hydroalcoholic extract of crambe grains on Sitophilus zeamais, and its effect on the physiological quality of corn seeds. The experiments were conducted at the Laboratory of Entomology and Seeds of the Assis Gurgacz University Center, in Cascavel, PR. The evaluation of attractiveness and insecticidal effect were evaluated using DIC, with 4 treatments (0, 5, 15 and 25% extract concentration) and 10 or 5 replications, respectively, totaling 40 experimental plots for the insect attractiveness test and 20 Experimental plots for the test of the insecticidal effect. For the experiment on the physiological quality of corn seeds submitted to the extracts, a DIC was set up in a 4 × 4 factorial scheme, factor 1 being the storage time of the seeds (0, 30, 60 and 90 days) and factor 2, the concentrations (0, 5, 15 and 25%), with 4 replicates, totaling 64 plots. Data were submitted to ANAVA, and means adjusted to regression or submitted to the Tukey test at 5% of probability, using the statistical program ASSISTAT®. The results evidenced the treatment with a hydroalcoholic extract in the concentration of 25% as the one with the highest insecticidal effect, and extract at 15% concentration yields a higher percentage of germination, normal seedlings, and mass of seedlings than the control. At 25% concentration, the extract do not negatively influence any of the parameters analyzed. Storage time above 60 days stimulates germination, mass and length of maize seedlings.

Hovenia dulcis is a pioneering species, fast growing and considered exotic and invasive. The species has multiplicity of uses and reproduces by seeds. In this sense, it is extremely important to know the physiological maturity of H. dulcis seeds. The objective of the research was to determine if the maturation of H. dulcis seeds is achieved concomitantly with the physiological maturation of the false fruit. Seeds were obtained from seven adult trees located in Marechal Candido Rondon, PR. The fruits were classified in five maturation stages, determined according to color chart. In order to verify the effects of the maturation stages of the false fruit on the physiological maturity seeds biometric characteristics, moisture content, germination, vigor and seedling development were evaluated. Seeds of H. dulcis presented evolution of maturation at the same time as the false fruit. For the evaluated parameters, seeds classified as stage 1 (7.5 YR 5/8) showed the best results for seed germination and seedling development, in contrast to those classified as stage 5 (2.5 YR 3/4), which presented low germination and delay in the development of seeds and seedlings.

The study was conducted using physiological approach to identify rice accessions with superior performance when subjected to infra-optimum temperatures during initial development phase (V2-V4). Forty-two rice genotypes composed by background essentially indica, japonica and indica/japonica cross with a broad genetic and ecological diversity were used. Plants were grown under initial optimum temperatures gradient (OTG - 22/32 °C night/day) until V2 stage; subsequently were subjected to infra-optimum temperature gradient (ITG - 13/17 °C night/day) during three days; after all genotypes returned to OTG conditions for seven days to recovery. Principal components analysis (PCA) highlighted that the three principal components account for 75.16% of total variation at the end of evaluated period. There were similar contributions of effective quantum yield (Y(II) - stress) and electron transport rate variables after recovery period (ETR - recovery) for PC1. Interestedly, genotypes highly responsive under initial OTG which showed fast initial biomass accumulation were also highly sensitive to stress when subjected to ITG, with accentuated decreases in their physiological performance. Sel. TB 1211-3 line, CTB 1419, CTB 1444, CTB 1455 and AB 13720 progenies showed greater performance for physiological analyzed variables, being potentially useful for breeding efforts aiming improve cold tolerance in rice at initial phase.
A data-driven predictive model of the grinding wheel wear using the neural network approach
Authors: LEZANSKI Pawel
Published: December 2017

Advanced manufacturing depends on the timely acquisition, distribution, and utilization of information from machines and processes. These activities can improve accuracy and reliability in predicting resource needs and allocation, maintenance scheduling, and remaining service life of equipment. Thus, to model the state of tool wear and next to predict its remaining useful life (RUL) significantly increases the sustainability
of manufacturing processes. there are many approaches, methods and theories applied to predictive model building. the proposed paper investigates an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the wear propagation process of grinding wheel and to estimate the RUL of the wheel when the extrapolated data reaches a predefined final failure value. The model building framework is based on data collected during external cylindrical plunge grinding. Firstly, usefulness of selected features of the measured process variables to be symptoms of grinding wheel state is experimentally verified. Next, issues related to development of an effective MLP model and its use in prediction of the grinding wheel RUL is discussed.

Published: December 2017

The article considers the economic conditions for the formation of the quality of life for a regional society, the Republic of Tatarstan. This research bases on comparing the economic indicators of the development of the region and the results of a public opinion survey on the economic components of the quality of life and the material well-being of a family. Statistical indicators of the economic development in the Republic of Tatarstan over the past decade show a positive dynamics of growth, while the satisfaction of the population with the main components of economic well-being does not always has a similar picture. Our studies show that the material well-being of a family and an individual citizen is determined not only by the growth of the aggregate income of the family, but also by such macroeconomic indicators as the level of inflation, the growth of tariffs for utilities. Consequently, the social well-being of the population is more correlated with the real incomes of a family than from macroeconomic growth indicators.

Published: December 2017

This article deals with the motives and attitudes of students with nonlinguistic major studying English as a foreign language in a higher educational institution. Nowadays, having a good command of English both oral and written is a prerequisite for a successful promotion in every field, students must learn how to communicate by means of a foreign language on a very high level. The aim of this paper is to show the efficiency of reading activities for motivating students during their studies, as well as to emphasize the relevance of reading authentic newspaper articles. Significance of the work is contained in finding and using new methods and teaching means for improvement of students’ competence in reading in a foreign language. Results of the empirical study conducted by the authors represent evaluation of authentic newspaper articles’ potential for reading comprehension in a classroom and, furthermore, demonstrate effectiveness of this method for EFL and ESL teaching. In other words, the use of authentic text materials from modern Russian and English newspapers with their adaptation and application of various types of communicative tasks before and after the process of reading has been proved to increase the motivation of students to learn English. Reading newspaper articles, therefore, has been also detected to be an effective tool for development of intercultural competences. The experimental part of the investigation was conducted in the Kazan Federal University (Russia), and consisted of a questionnaire that was filled in anonymously by various groups of students, answers to which helped to determine the popularity of reading newspapers among students.
Economic Man in the Dynamics of Time and Expanse Perception
Authors: Kondratiev Konstantin V. , Smirnov Roman K.
Published: December 2017

The article considers the issue of time perception by an economic person as an independent direction in the field of its study. The urgency of addressing this topic is conditioned, on the one hand, by the lack of its systemic coverage in literature about an economic man, and on the other hand, by the fact that the perception of time by an economic person not only develops the principles of his activity, but also influences the nature of their changes. Our study is built in accordance with the systemic, comparative-historical and dialectical method, the principle of historical and logical element unity. It is substantiated that an economic man could not appear in antiquity due to the lack of favorable conditions for his appearance, which will take shape only during the late Middle Ages and will be associated with the development of human existence secular vector. The contours of a bourgeois existence in the modern conditions of a postmodern situation are outlined. The mechanism of the bourgeois activity subordination is revealed to both linear and scattered-situational ways of time perception. The role of bourgeois activity is highlighted separately (through the transformation of the principle of uncertainty into the norm of life) in the change of the linear time model by its scattered-situational interpretation. The study concludes that A) The dialectical nature of the influence on each other concerning the way of time and bourgeois activity perception. B) The scattered-situational model of time does not mean an end, but a new stage in the history of bourgeois, whose characteristics are the following ones: the combination of features characteristic of both of modernity epoch and the epoch preceding modernity; the transformation of the market from the method of a person's personality oppression into the instrument of his self-creation.
