Authors: CARVALHO L.B. , DUKE S.O. , MESSA J.R. , COSTA F.R. , BIANCO S.
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT Glyphosate is commonly used for intra-row weed management in perennial plantations, where unintended crop exposure to this herbicide can cause growth reduction. The objective of this research was to analyze the initial plant growth behavior of young apple and pear plants exposed to glyphosate. Glyphosate was sprayed on 2-year-old 'Gala' apple and 'Abbè Fetel' pear plants at doses from 18 to 720 g per hectare of acid equivalent (a.e.). The plant height of neither species was not significantly reduced (less than 1%) by any glyphosate dose at 240 days after spraying, whereas the stem diameter and the dry mass of stem and leaves were reduced by 720 g a.e. ha-1. The glyphosate dose required to reduce the aboveground dry mass by 50% was 162 and 148 g a.e. ha-1 for apple and pear, respectively. Aboveground dry mass was reduced 2% and 6% for apple and pear plants, respectively, at 720 g a.e. ha-1. Hormesis was not observed in either species at doses down to 18 g a.e. ha-1. Both species showed low susceptibility to glyphosate; however apple was less susceptible than pear.

Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT Ametryn is one of the most widely used herbicides in the sugarcane culture. Little is known about the interactions between this herbicide and the attributes of soils in the sugarcane region of northeastern Brazil. This knowledge, before recommending herbicide, will minimize the negative effects on the environment, particularly on water resources, and will ensure weed control efficacy. In this work, ametryn leaching potential was estimated through bioassays and chromatography, in five soils from the sugarcane region in northeastern Brazil: Quartzarenic Neosol (Entisol); Red Argisol (Ultisol); Ferrihumiluvic Spodosol (Spodosols); Red-Yellow Acrisol (Oxisol) and Haplic Cambisol (Inceptisols). To achieve this, columns were prepared with samples of the respective soils. On top of these columns ametryn was applied and, 12 hours later, a 60 mm rainfall was simulated. After water draining (72 hours after herbicide application), the columns were longitudinally opened to withdraw samples of each soil, every 5 cm. On some of these samples, ametryn quantification was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography and, on the others, biological assays were performed to confirm the results. Ametryn mobility was influenced by the physical-chemical characteristics of soils, mainly by organic matter content, texture and cation exchange capacity (CEC). However, this cannot be considered for Ferrihumiluvic Spodosol, whose cementing characteristics restrict the infiltration of water and organic compounds. Increased leaching ametryn occurred in Quartzarenic Neosol (Entisol), with higher herbicide concentration in the 5 to 10 cm depth layer, in relation to the 0 to 5 cm surface layer, indicating possible agronomic efficiency loss and higher risk of groundwater contamination.

Abstract Brazilian spotted fever (BSF) is a fatal zoonosis because of the difficulties in its early diagnosis and treatment. Occurrences of BSF in the northeast of the state of Paraná prompted investigation of areas at risk of this rickettsiosis in the municipalities of Japira, Jaboti, Pinhalão and Tomazina. To determine the areas at risk, 592 serum samples from dogs and 230 from equids were analyzed by means of the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) for Rickettsia rickettsii and R. parkeri . In addition, risk probability maps were drawn up using the kriging indicator technique. Among the samples tested, 5.3% (43/822) indicated presence of antibodies reactive to at least one of the two Rickettsia species tested: 7.8% of the equids (18/230) and 4.2% of the dogs (25/592) were positive. Geostatistical analysis showed that the average seropositivity rate was 5 to 6%. Although the average seropositivity rates observed among these dogs and equids were lower than those reported from endemic areas of Brazil, the biotic components (etiological agent, vector and reservoirs) and environmental aspects of BSF epidemiology were present in these municipalities.

Abstract Neighborhood dogs may act as reservoirs for several zoonotic protozoan infections, particularly in urban areas, thus constituting a potential public health threat. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the exposure of neighborhood dogs to four protozoan pathogens in public areas with high levels of human movement in Curitiba, southern Brazil. Blood samples from 26 neighborhood dogs were screened by means of the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT) for Leishmania spp., Toxoplasma gondii, Trypanosoma cruzi and Neospora caninum, and a questionnaire was answered by the respective keeper. A total of 8/26 dogs (30.7%) seroreactive to T. gondii, 3/26 (11.5%) to N. caninum and 2/26 (7.7%) to both were identified. All the samples were seronegative for T. cruzi and Leishmania spp. Pathogen seroreactivity was not associated with the daily human movements or other epidemiological variables investigated (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the low seroprevalence for T. gondii and N. caninum indicated low environmental and food risk for animal infection and the seronegativity for Leishmania spp. and T. cruzi may reflect the absence of these pathogens in urban areas of Curitiba. Moreover, neighborhood dogs may be used as environmental sentinels for the presence of protozoan pathogens and their vectors.
Effective friction angle of soft to firm clays from flat dilatometer
Authors: Ouyang Zhongkun , Mayne Paul W.
Published: November 2016

A new method based on spherical cavity expansion theory is used to interrelate data from piezocone penetration tests (CPTUs) and flat plate dilatometer tests (DMTs) in soft to firm clays. Data from 27 clay sites are shown to confirm simple links that express the CPTU net resistance and excess porewater pressure in terms of th e DMT contact pressure and expansion pressure. As a result, the derived nexus is explored to predict the effective friction angle of soft to firm clays from DMT data using an existing CPTU limit plasticity solution. Two well-documented case studies are presented to illustrate the reasonable prediction of the effective friction angle in comparison with laboratory anisotropically consolidated undrained compression triaxial test results on undisturbed samples.

Published: November 2016

Some 2·4 billion people lack access to safe sanitation. The potential of new technologies to address this need in low- and middle-income countries has been under-addressed in research, programming and policy. Despite the global efforts to improve access to sanitation, there has been insufficient attention to the role of transformative technologies to respond to these needs. There is an urgent need for innovation, in particular for safe faecal sludge management, not least to secure its benefits for health and well-being. This paper provides a short review of evolving technologies that are being developed to treat human faecal sludge together with insights into the use and implications of such technologies. A case study on the toilet reinvented by Loughborough University is presented, which uses hydrothermal carbonisation processes. The paper concludes with essential considerations for guiding national policymakers, the private sector, sanitation programme implementers and donors focused on improving access to safely managed sanitation.

Published: November 2016

The Adriatic-Ionian area occupies a very strategic position between three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. Furthermore, it has a key position along trade routes of major global importance. A number of recent trends such as globalization and growth in international and intercontinental trade, the opening up of eastern Europe and the rerouting of intra-European trade flows provides a new opportunity for the development of the Adriatic Sea ports and for the re-definition of their roles as critical nodal points within the wider area transport network. The aim of this paper is research and analysis of the possibility of redefining the roles of all ports in the observed area with particular attention to all possible transport specializations and cooperation agreements. The above mentioned will be achieved by defining quality labels and indicators.

High-dose interleukin-2 (HD IL-2) has been in clinical use in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and metastatic melanoma (mM) for over 20 years, and has produced substantial, durable responses in selected patients, resulting in cures in some patients with no ongoing therapy or chronic toxicity. However, use of the drug has remained limited owing to its significant acute toxicities, and the fact that only a minority of selected patients derive a response to treatment. Recent registry data support the use of HD IL-2 as first-line therapy in mRCC and mM, producing major responses for some and thus reducing the requirement for long-term therapy. In addition, an enhanced understanding of the role of IL-2 has led to the development of new therapeutic approaches to maximize the anti-tumor response of IL-2. These strategies include combined treatment with vaccines, antibody treatments to block inhibitory pathways, or adoptive cell transfer of T cells. These data and new approaches have led to continued use of HD IL-2 and may increase the number of patients who derive benefit from this treatment.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with a poor prognosis compared to other types of breast cancer. The classification of ‘triple negative’ is not one homogenous tumor type, but rather is made up of multiple molecularly and biologically diverse tumor subtypes. At present, no approved targeted therapy exists and the standard remains cytotoxic chemotherapy. The identification of TNBC subtypes has provided a basis for identifying possible targeted therapeutic options. In addition, the recognition that some TNBCs share characteristics similar to tumors arising in patients with germline BRCA mutations has led to consideration of DNA damaging agents as a potential treatment option. Multiple investigational approaches are also underway, including immune checkpoint inhibition, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition, and androgen receptor blockage. The limited options available for systemic treatment of TNBC will hopefully expand as more is learned about the complex biology and molecular targets of this group of breast cancers. This review will discuss the biology of TNBC, current treatment options, and promising experimental strategies.

Desventajas de la introducción de la leche de vaca en el primer años de vida
Authors: Sara Guillén López , Marcela Vela Amieva
Published: November 2016

El costo de las fórmulas infantiles suele ser una de las principales razones por las que las madres preﬁeren el uso de leche entera de vaca en menores de un año; sin embargo, su empleo en niños de esa edad puede causar daños en la salud. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar la evidencia cientíﬁca sobre los riesgos y efectos adversos de alimentar con leche entera a los lactantes antes del primer año de vida. La leche entera de vaca no es una fuente signiﬁcativa de ácido ascórbico y hierro; este hecho y los microsangrados intestinales que elevan considerablemente el riesgo de causar anemia. La leche de vaca tiene menor contenido de ácidos grasos esenciales que son necesarios para el neurodesarrollo y para la función visual de lactante; por esta razón la leche descremada es menos recomendable. El alto contenido de proteína y nutrimentos inorgánicos da una alta carga de solutos renales, la que en ciertos casos puede causar deshi- dratación. En ocasiones los lactantes pueden tener alergia a la proteína de la leche. Si bien hacen falta más estudios, existe un número creciente de evidencias que vinculan la introducción temprana de la leche de vaca con algunas enfermedades crónico-degenerativas en los niños tales como la diabetes y la obesidad.

Published: November 2016

A indústria siderúrgica produz quatro subprodutos com significativa capacidade de geração de energia. Esses subprodutos podem ser utilizados como combustível na caldeira siderúrgica, equipamento da central termoelétrica. O objetivo deste estudo é propor uma modelagem para estimar a temperatura adiabática da chama da fornalha de uma caldeira siderúrgica com a variação de ar e combustível disponível. A técnica empregada consiste no princípio da Primeira Lei da Termodinâmica. O balanço de energia do sistema foi proposto definindo assim o modelo. A solução do modelo possibilita estimar a temperatura adiabática do sistema. Na indústria, a temperatura adiabática é determinada pelo poder calorífico inferior dos combustíveis. A metodologia proposta neste estudo faz com que não sejam necessários levantamentos experimentais do poder calorífico inferior. Os valores da temperatura adiabática simulados indicam que utilizar condições operacionais distintas na alimentação do combustível e do ar podem afetar significativamente o valor deste parâmetro. Nas simulação com a variação de ar, nota-se que a temperatura adiabática decresce com o acréscimo do excesso de ar. Tal resultado é esperado, uma vez que o aumento da massa, contida no sistema, diminui a eficiência energética do processo. Conclui-se que a metodologia proposta provou ser eficaz de descrever o sistema quando diferentes condições de alimentação são adotadas.

 

ABSTRACT
Steel industry produces four by-products with significant capacity of energy generation. These products can be used as fuel at steel boiler, equipment thermoelectric plant. The objective of this study is to propose a modeling to estimate the adiabatic flame temperature furnace’s of an industrial boiler steelmaking with the variation of available air and fuel. The technique employed consists in principle of the First Law of Thermodynamics. The system's energy balance was proposed thus defining the model. The solution’s model enables to estimate the system’s  temperature of the adiabatic. In industry, the adiabatic temperature is determined by the fuel’s lower heating value. The methodology proposed in this study makes is not necessary experimental surveys of the lower heating value. The values at the adiabatic temperature simulated to indicate that use different operating conditions in the feed of fuel and air can significantly affect the value of this parameter. In the simulation with the variation in air, it is noted that the adiabatic temperature decreases with the increase of excess air. This result is expected since the increase of the mass contained in the system decreases the energy efficiency of the process. It is concluded that the methodology proved to be effective to describe the system when different air and fuel feed are adopted.

Dialdehyd malonowy (MDA) w organizmie człowieka pochodzi z dwóch źródeł: spożywanego pokarmu i peroksydacji lipidów występujących w tkankach. Powstawanie MDA, a także wielkość i szybkość utleniania lipidów w tkankach organizmów żywych, zależy od wielu czynników endo- i egzogennych. Produkty peroksydacji lipidów, szczególnie MDA, wykazują właściwości cytotoksyczne, mutagenne i rakotwórcze. Mogą one również hamować enzymy związane z obroną komórki przed stresem oksydacyjnym. Mogą nie tylko przyczyniać się do rozwoju wielu chorób, ale stanowią również część procesu starzenia się. Organizm broni się w pewnym stopniu przed działaniem wolnych rodników, neutralizując je. Głównym źródłem przeciwutleniaczy jest żywność – produkty pochodzenia roślinnego. Styl życia, na który składają się dieta i aktywność fizyczna, jest ważnym elementem w zachowaniu zdrowia rozumianego jako dobre samopoczucie fizyczne i psychiczne. Nawyki żywieniowe i dieta bogata w przeciwutleniacze są modyfikowalnymi czynnikami, które nie tylko zapobiegają chorobom związanym z wiekiem, ale także opóźniają procesy starzenia.

Published: November 2016

Breastfeeding is one of the main manifestations of the bond that a mother builds with her newborn baby. Literature on psychological support for mothers in the early stages of breastfeeding is limited and interventions often do not pinpoint the actual roots of the difficulties. Breastfeeding difficulties may cause emotional distress to women and this can impact significantly on bonding and the perinatal period may turn into a state of crisis. Therefore, it is essential for the clinical psychologist to intervene selectively and in a prompt, effective way, especially when working in a maternity ward. This article suggests a model of intervention: the Breastfeeding and Bonding EMDR Protocol. This protocol, created ad hoc for breastfeeding, combines the work with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) on recent events, the standard protocol and the installation of resources. The hospital case study presented here thoroughly illustrates the various stages of the protocol and the peculiarity and functionality of EMDR regarding breastfeeding and bonding issues in the immediate postpartum period. Prevention is the paramount subject of the model of clinical intervention on breastfeeding hereafter presented.

El diablo de la exégesis en algunos villancicos y en El cetro de José, de sor Juana
Authors: Castaño Ana
Published: November 2016

La tradición de la exégesis bíblica tuvo una influencia determinante en la creación del Barroco hispánico. Sin embargo, cuando recurrían a la exégesis los poetas muchas veces intentaban “curarse en salud”, en un terreno que había sido exclusivo de los teólogos. En este auto sacramental, por ejemplo, sor Juana pone todas las reflexiones exegéticas en boca del Diablo, que aquí funciona como una especie de alter ego de la autora.
Intervención en el alojamiento con criterios ecológicos
Authors: Gómez Muñoz Gloria
Published: November 2016

ResumenLas evidencias del impacto sobre el medio ambiente asociado al funcionamiento de las ciudades hacen que sea urgente proponer medidas que reduzcan este consumo y mejoren la eficiencia del metabolismo urbano. La existencia de límites en la disponibilidad de recursos materiales y energéticos, plantea actualmente un reto importante al ser humano: ¿son posibles otras formas de organización más adecuadas a esta condición de limitación? Para dar respuesta, resulta fundamental conocer cómo interactuarán nuestros sistemas urbanos en un modelo económico de continuo desarrollo, con la población que alojan, y si podrán adaptarse a la capacidad de carga limitada del Planeta, evitando futuras situaciones de colapso anunciadas desde distintos ámbitos científicos. En ese contexto, la tesis formula un método de análisis del alojamiento que, mediante la evaluación a largo plazo, permita proponer medidas de intervención para reducir el consumo de recursos asociado a su funcionamiento. Partiendo de un enfoque ecológico para definir el alojamiento como una parte fundamental del sistema urbano, que está compuesta por tres elementos: habitantes, viviendas y recursos naturales; por tanto, para reducir los impactos asociados al alojamiento es necesario tener en cuenta la diferente naturaleza de estos elementos y el carácter dinámico de las relaciones que se producen entre ellos. AbstractEvidence of the impact on the environment associated with the operation of cities make it urgent to propose measures to reduce energy consumption and improve the efficiency of urban metabolism. The limited availability of materials and energy resources currently poses a significant challenge to human beings: are more appropriate forms of organization for this limitation possible? In response, it is essential to know how our urban systems with the population they host will interact in an economic model of continuous development and whether they can adapt to the limited endurance capacity of the planet, thus avoiding future collapse situations which are being announced from different scientific fields. In this context, the thesis puts forward a method of housing analysis that by a long term assessment will enable to propose intervention measures to reduce resource consumption associated with its operation. The thesis is based on an ecological approach to identify housing as a fundamental part of the urban system, which is composed of three elements: inhabitants, homes and natural resources. Therefore, in order to reduce the impacts associated with housing it is necessary to consider the characteristics of these elements and the dynamic nature of the relationships among them.

Pharmacists are burdened with obligations as cited in Regulation of the Minister of Health, No. 35 of 2014 on the Standards of Pharmaceutical Services in Pharmacy. This paper uses socio-legal approach aiming at examining the norms associated with the protection of the patient’s safety. The applicability of the rules faces some obstacles since the legal culture of apathy still exist, so that the understanding and awareness of legal compliance is not achieved. Legal culture of apathy regarding ideas, concepts, perceptions, views, values and behaviors that are not constructive, affect the workings of law towards the observance and compliance to the law, as a result, the purpose of the law to provide justice and legal certainty to the practicians suchas pharmacists, patients and owner of the pharmacy services, are not fully able to interpret the substance of the regulation of the Minister of Health, Number 35 of 2014. As a result of this legal culture, the implementation of the Regulation of the Minister of Health No. 35 of 2014 is directed more on aspects of benefactive purpose than on the aspect of legal certainty.Keywords: pharmacists; apathy legal culture; the purpose of law

Radio Detection and Ranging (Radar) merupakan sistem pengideraan jauh dengan sensor aktif. Bagian penting radar terdiri dari transmitter (Tx)  yang dihubungkan dengan antenna transmitting yang mengirimkan gelombang elektromagnetik ke target, receiver (Rx) yang dihubungkan dengan sebuah antenna receiving akan menerima gelombang hasil pantulan dari target radar. Bagian output dari terminal transmitter akan menghasilkan sebuah persamaan sinyal S(t). Antenna Tx akan mengkonversi sinyal tersebut dan mengarahkan sinyal radio menuju target. Sinyal yang menuju ke target akan menabrak target. Dengan karakteristik target radar sebagian sinyal tersebut dipantulkan kembali menuju antenna penerima radar. Persamaan sinyal hasil pantulan, Sr(t) akan diterima antenna penerima radar dan diteruskan ke bagian penerima. Bagian penerima radar selanjutnya menganalisa persamaan sinyal Sr(t) sehingga dapat menganalisa dimana keberadaan dan jarak dari target radar. Java adalah bahasa pemrograman yang dapat digunakan untuk program aplikasi perhitungan perencanann radar ini. Java memiliki sifat portable atau tidak tergantung pada platform. Dengan begitu Java dikenal dengan istilah „write once, run everywhere’, yang berarti kode program hanya ditulis sekali, namun dapat dijalankan dibawah platform manapun tanpa harus melakukan perubahan kode program. Hand phone yang memenuhi platform standar MIDP 2.0 dan CLDC 1.1 yang dapat digunakan untuk menjalankan program ini.

Saat ini, dalam dunia telekomunikasi, (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) WiMaX merupakan teknologi nirkabel yang menyediakan hubungan jalur lebar dalam jarak jauh, memiliki kecepatan akses yang tinggi dan jangkauan yang luas serta menyediakan berbagai macam jenis layanan. Masalah yang menarik dan menantang pada WiMaX adalah dalam hal menyediakan jaminan kualitas pelayanan (QoS) untuk jenis layanan yang berbeda dengan bermacam-macam kebutuhan QoS-nya. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan QoS tersebut, maka diperlukan suatu algoritma penjadwalan. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan simulasi jaringan WiMaX menerapkan algoritma penjadwalan dengan metode homogeneous algorithm dan hybrid algorithm. Perwakilan pada metode homogeneous algorithm akan menggunakan algoritma penjadwalan Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) dan Deficit Round Robin (DRR), sedangkan pada metode hybrid algorithm menggunakan penggabungan antara algoritma penjadwalan DRR dan WFQ. Pengujian kinerja algoritma penjadwalan tersebut dilakukan dengan membandingkan kedalam 5 jenis kelas QoS pada WiMAX yaitu UGS,  rtPS, nrtPS, ertPS, dan Best Effort. Dari hasil pengujian, hybrid algorithm memberikan nilai QoS yang lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan homogeneous algorithm. hybrid algorithm sangat cocok jika diterapkan pada kondisi jaringan yang memiliki trafik dengan paket data yang bervariasi, karena dapat menghasilkan throughput yang tinggi, serta dapat menghasilkan nilai delay dan jitter yang rendah
