Optical strain measurements on fast moving fiber reinforced polymer rotors using diffraction gratings
Authors: Lich Julian , Wollmann Tino , Filippatos Angelos , Gude Maik , Kuschmierz Robert , Czarske Jürgen
Published: March 2019

In-situ measurements of the deformation and of the structural dynamical behavior of moving composite structures, such as rotors made of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP), are necessary in order to validate newly developed simulation models. Local methods like strain gauges and fiber Bragg gratings lack spatial resolution, while contactless optical methods like image correlation or speckle interferometry suffer from noise effects in the presence of fast rigid body movements. A novel compact sensor – based on the diffraction grating method – is introduced for spatially and temporally resolved strain measurement. The use of a line camera allows the measurement of vibrations up to several tens of kHz. With a scanning movement, strain fields at submillimeter resolution can be recorded. The use of two diffraction orders and an objective lens reduces cross sensitivities to rigid body movements on the strain measurement by two to three orders of magnitude. A validation on a GFRP probe was conducted in a quasi-static tensile test with an optical extensometer up to 14500 µϵ. Furthermore, a strain measurement on a moving rotor at surface speeds up to 75 m/s was performed and the results were compared with those of strain gauges as a gold standard. The statistical standard deviation was around 10 µϵ and independent of the rotational speed.

THE CONTROL AND QUANTIFICATION OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL TRAINING LOADS IS ESSENTIAL TO THE CORRECT DESIGN OF TRAINING PROGRAMS. IN TENNIS, ALONG WITH ANAEROBIC, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND TACTICAL ABILITIES, TECHNICAL SKILLS AND ENDURANCE CONDITIONING ARE KEY TO COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE. THEREFORE, IT COULD BE USEFUL TO USE TESTING AND TRAINING LOADS AND METHODS THAT INCLUDE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND TECHNICAL PARAMETERS AT THE SAME TIME. THE AIM OF THIS REVIEW IS TO IDENTIFY A NEW TRAINING LOAD PARAMETER, SUITABLE FOR ON-COURT USE IN TENNIS, BASED ON TECHNICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL SKILLS, TO ALLOW CONTROL OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LOADS.
Pore Structure Characteristics of RAP-Inclusive Cement Mortar and Cement Concrete Using Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry Technique
Authors: Abraham Sarah Mariam , Ransinchung G. D. R. N.
Published: March 2019

The pore structure characteristics of cement mortar and concrete incorporating reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) fine aggregates as part replacements of natural fine aggregates (NAs) were studied using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) technique. NAs were replaced by RAP at 25, 50, 75, and 100 % by volume of total fine aggregates. Mineral admixtures, namely silica fume and activated sugarcane bagasse ash, were incorporated as part replacements of cement as well. MIP technique could identify the mesopores and macropores in the cementitious mixture. Porosity increases with an increase in RAP content in cementitious mixture, owing to larger and porous interfacial transition zone. Total intrusion pore volume increases with an increase in RAP content and is greater than the control mix irrespective of RAP content and mineral admixture. Mesopores and macropores follow a similar trend as total intrusion pore volume, suggesting finer and larger pores in RAP-inclusive cementitious mixtures. Threshold diameters were observed to initially decrease until 50 % RAP content and to increase thereafter for RAP-inclusive cement mortar, suggesting easy penetration of chemical species for higher RAP content mixes. From pore classification studies, entrained air, large capillaries, medium capillaries, and small capillaries were also analyzed. Large capillaries follow a similar trend to threshold diameter, in which the former affects the transport processes in cementitious mixture. RAP-inclusive cementitious mixtures have the ability to resist freeze as well as thaw and salt decay; this is concluded indirectly from pore structure studies. The pore-mass fractal dimension has the ability to describe the pore-solid structure, whereas the pore-surface fractal dimension failed to do so for RAP-inclusive cementitious mixtures.
A New Cyclic Simple Shear Test Procedure with Multidirectional Loading
Authors: Le Viet Hung , Rackwitz Frank
Published: March 2019

This article presents a new procedure for cyclic simple shear tests with a change in the loading direction. For the experimental investigation of sand under drained condition, a conventional simple shear test device (unidirectional simple shear) was used. After modification of the specimen cell, the cell can rotate during the test, enabling the load direction to be changed. The construction of this modified version and its test procedure are explained in detail. This modification and test procedure can also be used for different simple shear devices of the same type. Furthermore, a test series involving Berlin sand was conducted with the direction of cyclic loading being changed once during each test. The test results indicate that a change in the cyclic direction has a significant influence on the accumulated deformation of sand.
Let's Talk Biology – Developing a Model for Incorporating English-Speaking Experts into the (Bilingual) Science Classroom
Authors: Meyerhöffer Nina , Dreesmann Daniel C.
Published: March 2019

We present an instructional approach to incorporate into biology lessons an exchange of videos between international practicing scientists and secondary-school students. We validated the approach in German school settings in three curricular contexts: genetics, cell biology, and immunology. The participating students (n = 255) were native speakers of German with a background of English as a foreign language. The three participating scientists, English-speaking experts from the United Kingdom and Uganda, were rooted in different fields that were related to the respective curricular topics. We explain how the video exchange model was developed and evaluate students' comments and suggestions for improvement in a qualitative approach. This is followed by a discussion of implications for future applications. The video exchange was intended to promote English as the language of science in biology lessons. Through personal and genuine insight into science professions, students were able to experience the usefulness of English as a tool for international communication. We argue that the instructional model is applicable to a wide variety of educational contexts, including minority language students and native speakers of English.
“Invasive Aliens”: A Student Citizen-Science Activity Using DNA Barcoding to Investigate Concepts in Ecology & Molecular Biology
Authors: Eble Jeff , Pecore John
Published: March 2019

Student participation in authentic research, as citizen scientists, can improve classroom engagement, achievement of learning objectives, and perceptions of science. We present DNA barcoding of invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans) prey as an example student citizen-science project, though the protocols, objectives, and outcomes can be generalized to any piscivorous fish. The objective of this five-lab conservation genetics unit is to enhance student understanding of fundamental molecular and ecological concepts through applied use of DNA sequencing technologies. Student assessments were equivocal, indicating modest gains in conceptual understanding and maintenance of an overall high perception of science. More notably, student findings have contributed to an improved understanding of the impacts of invasive lionfish, including providing the first evidence that lionfish prey on economically important red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus).

Published: March 2019

An introductory cell biology laboratory course was redesigned using two inquiry-based modules to align with the goals of scientific inquiry as described in Vision and Change. To evaluate the lab's efficacy, we used a broad range of materials, including pretests and posttests, online surveys, focus group interviews, and course evaluations. Although our students produced significant learning gains on technical laboratory skills, methods, and data analyses, during the first two years their affective dispositions toward the experience were more negative. By evaluating our class data in light of insights from the scholarship of teaching and learning, we were able to provide better guidance to students and subsequently to persist past this implementation dip, showing continued positive gains in student learning outcomes, and eliminating the negative impact on student affective outcomes. Our experience underscores the value of scientific teaching, using class data and evidence-based practices to persist beyond the implementation dips that come with adopting new curricula.
Heating Up Enzyme Kinetics: A Safe, Inexpensive & Quantitative Inquiry Activity
Authors: Bhatt Kushal , Davis Ann M. , Ahmed Shazia A.
Published: March 2019

Enzyme kinetics is an essential process of life, but it is a concept that challenges introductory biology students. Most enzyme kinetics laboratory activities either use hazardous chemicals to visualize the enzyme product or do not afford quantitative analysis at all. We have designed an inquiry-based activity that provides insight into enzyme function and that is budget friendly, safe, and produces quantitative results. The materials required are household products, so this activity can be adapted even for online classes. Furthermore, we suggest options for a sequential, experiential experiment-design activity for students.
Unravelling the Complex Genetics of Karnal Bunt (Tilletia indica) Resistance in Common Wheat (Triticum aestivum) by Genetic Linkage and Genome-Wide Association Analyses
Authors: Emebiri Livinus , Singh Sukhwinder , Tan Mui-Keng , Singh Pawan K , Fuentes-Dávila Guillermo , Ogbonnaya Francis
Published: March 2019

Karnal bunt caused by Tilletia indica Mitra [syn. Neovossia indica (Mitra) Mundkur] is a significant biosecurity concern for wheat-exporting countries that are free of the disease. It is a seed-, soil-and air-borne disease with no effective chemical control measures. The current study used data from multi-year field experiments of two bi-parental populations and a genome-wide association (GWA) mapping panel to unravel the genetic basis for resistance in common wheat. Broad-sense heritability for Karnal bunt resistance in the populations varied from 0.52 in the WH542×HD29 population, to 0.61 in the WH542×W485 cross and 0.71 in a GWAS panel. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis with seven years of phenotypic data identified a major locus on chromosome 3B (R2 = 27.8%) and a minor locus on chromosome 1A (R2 = 12.2%), in the WH542×HD29 population, with both parents contributing the high-value alleles. A major locus (R2 = 27.8%) and seven minor loci (R2 = 4.4–15.8%) were detected in the WH542×W485 population. GWA mapping validated QTL regions in the bi-parent populations, but also identified novel loci not previously associated with Karnal bunt resistance. Meta-QTL analysis aligned the results from this study with those reported in wheat over the last two decades. Two major clusters were detected, the first on chromosome 4B, which clustered with Qkb.ksu-4B, QKb.cimmyt-4BL, Qkb.cim-4BL, and the second on chromosome 3B, which clustered with Qkb.cnl-3B, QKb.cimmyt-3BS and Qkb.cim-3BS1. The results provide definitive chromosomal assignments for QTL/genes controlling Karnal bunt resistance in common wheat, and will be useful in pre-emptive breeding against the pathogen in wheat-producing areas that are free of the disease.
Fenomenologia innego. Paul Ricœur i Emmanuel Lévinas wobec ontologii całości

Published: March 2019

Artykuł ten jest próbą krytycznego omówienia sporu Ricœura z Lévinasem dotyczącego rozumienia etyki, ściśle rzecz biorąc koncepcji „podmiotu” etycznego. Wychodząc od przeprowadzonej przez obu filozofów krytyki nowożytnej absolutyzacji cogito, poddaję analizie rozwijane przez Ricœura dialektyczne ujęcie podmiotu (fr. soi) wyrażonego w formule „ten-który-jest-sobą-samym-jak-i-innym” oraz opisany przez Lévinasa fenomen „radykalnej inności”. Następnie staram się odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy możliwe jest intelektualne porozumienie między Ricœurem i Lévinasem, polegające na wyznaczeniu wspólnego horyzontu dla koncepcji podmiotu otwartej dialektyki i podmiotu ukonstytuowanego przez źródłowe „wyznaczenie” do odpowiedzialności, w granicach którego można mówić o fenomenologii siebie, tj. fenomenologii podmiotu, który rozpoznaje się dzięki innemu niż on sam.

Published: March 2019

Abstract Objective: To evaluate progression rate of Bosniak category IIF complex renal cysts and the malignancy rate among surgically resected cysts. Materials and Methods: We performed a database search for complex renal cysts classified as Bosniak category IIF on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging between January 2008 and April 2016. Follow-up examinations (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) were used in order to evaluate progression (Bosniak category reclassification) and stability, the latter being defined as remaining stable for a minimum of six months. Pathology reports were used as the reference to assess the malignancy rate of surgically resected cysts. Results: A total of 152 cysts in 143 patients were included in the final analysis. Seven cysts (4.6%) were reclassified on follow-up studies, and mean time to progression was 20 months (range, 1 month to 4 years). Three cysts were surgically resected. All three were diagnosed as low-grade malignant renal cell carcinomas (RCCs): one clear cell RCC and two papillary RCCs. The remaining 145 cysts remained unchanged after a mean follow-up period of 28 months (range, 6 to 118 months). Conclusion: The progression rate in Bosniak category IIF cysts was low. Even lesions that were upgraded on follow-up remained stable, indicating an indolent behavior. Our data support the idea of conservative management of Bosniak IIF renal cyst.

Published: March 2019

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o balanço hídrico de Thornthwaite a partir das projeções do IPCC-AR5, identificando as possíveis mudanças de classificação climática projetada por este método. Foram consideradas as projeções de 14 modelos do CMIP5 para os cenários RCP 4.5 e RCP 8.5, para o período de 2010 a 2099, em comparação ao cenário histórico (1950 a 1999). A metodologia consiste na obtenção dos campos mensais de precipitação e temperatura pró„ximo à superfície dos modelos climáticos. O balanço hídrico é realizado pelo método de Thornthwaite, considerando a ETP, os acumulados mensais de precipitação e os parâmetros de solo do Harmonized World Soil Database, sendo a classificação climática por região com base nas variáveis de saída do método. As projeções dos modelos apontam aumento da temperatura e ETP para as diferentes regiões do Brasil. As regiões Norte e Centro-Oeste apresentam aumento das áreas com climas mais áridos, enquanto a região Sul aponta para um aumento da área coberta por climas úmidos. Estas características podem representar aumento do escoamento superficial na região Sul e sua diminuição nas regiões Norte e Centro-Oeste. Tais mudanças representam um desafio a gestão de recursos hídricos, que deverá se adequar às futuras demandas e disponibilidades hídricas.

Published: March 2019

Resumo O presente estudo determinou regiões homogêneas de precipitação média anual na bacia hidrográfica do Rio Tapajós por intermédio do método de agrupamento hierárquico de Ward, utilizando variáveis físico-climáticas como: a localização (latitude e longitude), a altitude e a precipitação média anual (PMA). Definiram-se 3 regiões homogêneas de precipitação, as quais foram validadas pelo índice de Silhouette. Aplicaram-se testes não-paramétricos (Mann Kendall, Spermann e o Estimador Sem) para analisar as tendências de precipitação em cada uma das regiões formadas. Os testes indicaram que existe tendência positiva nos dados de PMA na região composta pelas nascentes da bacia; por outro lado, na região central e próximo do exutório não ocorreram tendências positiva ou negativa nos dados monitorados, quer dizer, as séries possuem estacionariedade. A determinação dessas regiões homogêneas de precipitação é uma importante contribuição para o entendimento do comportamento climático na bacia hidrográfica, podendo auxiliar na gestão dos recursos hídricos.
Influence of Atmospheric Aerosols on Evapotranspiration over a Semiarid Region in Northeast Brazil
Authors: Steidle Neto Antonio José , Lopes Daniela de Carvalho
Published: March 2019

Abstract The knowledge of atmospheric aerosol characteristics at regional and local scales, their temporal changes and interrelations with meteorological variables are of great importance because can modify the global radiative energy balance. This study was carried out to evaluate the influence of aerosols on evapotranspiration over a semiarid region in Northeast Brazil. Aerosol optical depth, global solar radiation, air temperature, air relative humidity, and wind speed were measured in the Research National Center of Semiarid, located at Petrolina, Pernambuco State, Brazil, along two consecutive years. A multivariate model was calibrated and validated for estimating the global solar radiation (Rglobal) based on the aerosol optical depths (AOD) and extraterrestrial solar radiation (R0). Estimates of the reference evapotranspiration (ET0) were obtained by using the FAO standard Penman-Monteith method. Results confirmed that larger aerosol optical depth tends to decrease both Rglobal and ET0. Otherwise, ticker aerosol optical depth tends to absorb less radiation, increasing the ET0. For the semiarid region in Northeast Brazil, most of ET0 deviations were smaller than ±4%. However, higher deviations were also observed, contributing jointly to around 30%, which may result in relevant consequences on the irrigation management, water balance, agroclimatic zoning, among other activities based on the ET0 estimates.

Published: March 2019

Resumo O artigo discorre sobre as dimensões política, econômica, doméstica e internacional da crise econômica iniciada em 2007-2008. Procura situar os impasses e particularidades da crise, entender a sua gravidade e resiliência e explorar cenários para os anos seguintes. Para isso, aborda três desafios centrais: os desafios de governança, de crescimento e fiscal. Em sequência, explora quatro possíveis cenários para a ordem econômica internacional. Em apenas um deles há efetiva preocupação com o fortalecimento da capacidade institucional para enfrentar o impasse. Assim, por miopia e inércia, o mundo pode deslizar para a fragmentação e para um beco sem saída. Evitar esse cenário requer estruturas de governança que fortaleçam a cooperação e um modelo de crescimento que possa reverter as ameaças ao meio ambiente.

Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Goats are homeothermic animals considered as rustic from the bioclimatic point of view, but the reduction of their productive efficiency may occur in unfavorable thermal conditions. The present study was carried out to evaluate pupil dilation as an indicator of thermal stress in Boer crossbred goats maintained under controlled environmental conditions. Six male crossbred goats of the Boer breed were distributed in a completely randomized design submitted to temperatures of 26, 29 and 33 °C. The pupillary dilation and pupillary temperature, respiratory frequency, heart rate, surface and rectal temperatures were monitored. The significant increase in physiological responses occurred in response to the increase in air temperature. An increase of pupillary dilation was observed in the animals with the elevation of the air temperature, with an increase of 26.96 mm2 in pupillary area when comparing the temperatures 26 and 33 °C, and it was possible to establish a correlation between air temperature and pupillary diameter increase, named pupillary stress ratio (PSR).

Biopsychosocial characteristics of sex offenders: An analysis of legal proceedings
Authors: REIS Daniela Castro dos , CAVALCANTE Lília Iêda Chaves , VALENTE Mário Diego Rocha
Published: March 2019

Abstract In this research, biopsychosocial characteristics of people accused of sexual aggression against children/adolescents between 2012 and 2014, in three districts of the state of Pará, were identified and analyzed. Data were collected by consulting court cases and recorded on a form prepared by the research group for biopsychosocial characterization. The statistical treatment of the data involved the non-hierarchical k-means clustering method, with cluster analysis. The results revealed three distinct groups; some with certain similarities due to the biological characteristics observed (Afro-descendant men over the age of 30 years, without reported organic diseases), as well as psychological and social characteristics (men with defined occupation and work, living in urban areas, with aggression to the black victim and in the family context) and differences (schooling, alcohol abuse and physical or psychological aggression, victim sex and family attachment to the aggressor). Further studies may refine the preliminary conclusions of these analyses.
The use of Social Network Analysis in a study of intergroup relations between affirmative action and regular students in a public university
Authors: RIBEIRO Elisa Maria Barbosa de Amorim , PEIXOTO Adriano de Lemos Alves , MIRANDA José Garcia Vivas , BASTOS Antônio Virgílio Bittencourt
Published: March 2019

Abstract Higher education has joined affirmative action and promoted the coexistence between different social groups at universities. This study evaluated the interaction pattern between 926 affirmative action and regular students from 25 different undergraduate programs from a public university using an informal social networks questionnaire. Homophily was the parameter chosen to measure intergroup relations. This behavior was evaluated according to the student’s term, yield rate (percentage of admitted students who enroll), field of knowledge and nature of relationship. The results showed a low degree of integration between groups in highly competitive undergraduate programs. The group of regular students showed a greater tendency for endogeneity. These results point to need to create a culture of inclusion that provides a distribution of resources between different social groups.
Jealousy and anxiety in male domestic abusers: A comparative study
Authors: PRIOLO FILHO Sidnei Rinaldo , PADOVANI Ricardo da Costa , WILLIAMS Lucia Cavalcanti de Albuquerque
Published: March 2019

Abstract The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between partner’s jealousy and the anxiety level presented by male domestic abusers, comparing these variables with men of similar age, socio-economic status, and educational level, without a history of domestic violence. The sample consisted of 20 male abusers and 20 men without a history of violence towards their partner. A Batterer Semi-Structured Interview on Family of Origin; the Romantic Jealousy Scale; and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were used as instruments. The groups did not differ statistically regarding age, education, and income; however, they were statistically different regarding the variables jealousy and anxiety levels. Abusers presented higher scores on jealousy and anxiety than non-abusers It is suggested that jealousy combined with anxiety may contribute to intimate partner violence. Future studies could further investigate this possibility using larger samples.
Child Psychotherapy in a cultural-historical perspective: The movement of subjectivity in Art Therapy
Authors: SCALISE Lara Nassar , ANACHE Alexandra Ayach , ROSSATO Maristela
Published: March 2019

Abstract This paper presents an approach on psychotherapy for children using the theoretical foundations of subjectivity under a cultural and historical perspective. The purpose of this study is to understand the movement of subjective formations and processes in the psychotherapy context, through actions and relations developed in an Art Therapy atelier. This is the theoretical and methodological discussion of records elaborated by the therapist when caring for a 4-year-old girl. The principles of qualitative Epistemology proposed by González Rey inspired the analysis and construction of information along the study, which discusses the emphasis of the singularity, the dialogical relationship and constructive-interpretative character that recognizes interpretive psychotherapy, and the artistic practice as a driver of new processes of an individual subjectivities. It was found that the new subjective senses, which were produced from the induced tensions, allowed the recognition of the artistic practice as a driver of new processes of subjectivation, and provided conditions for the production of other, new subjective settings.
Os “altos círculos” no mercado de transportes em São Paulo
Authors: Campos Marcos Vinicius Lopes
Published: March 2019

Resumo Em gestação há quatro anos, a cidade de São Paulo aguarda as novas licitações dos serviços de ônibus. Nesse período, movimentações têm problematizado os graus de concentração desse mercado, tanto fora quando dentro da Prefeitura. Até o momento, todavia, sabe-se muito pouco sobre a composição e as transformações do conjunto das empresas privadas de transportes. A partir de dados primários sobre a propriedade e as características das empresas, este artigo procura contribuir para essa tarefa, tratando da composição do mercado privado de transporte público no município nas últimas quatro décadas. Inicialmente, são apresentadas, a partir de contribuições recentes advindas da literatura específica, as principais características da economia política urbana dos serviços de ônibus em São Paulo. Em seguida, é feita a análise da composição do mercado a partir da distribuição das frotas e dos vínculos de propriedade nas últimas quatro décadas. Os dados exibidos sugerem um mercado mais complexo e competitivo diante da narrativa consolidada no debate público e na academia, na qual se afirmou que as mesmas poucas famílias têm governado o mercado há décadas. Isso é especialmente crítico quando a atenção é voltada para a transformação política dos atores mais novos no mercado nas décadas de 1990 e 2010.
Interpelações Éticas à Educação Inclusiva
Authors: Voltolini Rinaldo
Published: March 2019

Resumo: Neste artigo propomos analisar criticamente a educação inclusiva enquanto um dispositivo institucional, constituído na intersecção dos discursos jurídico e administrativo, o que lhe confere uma forma normatizante e tecnicista, com prejuízos para os próprios objetivos da inclusão. A interpelação ética - procedimento construído nas fronteiras do discurso psicanalítico e da abordagem filosófica - nos permite interrogar as raízes desse dispositivo, reabrindo vias de tratamento dos impasses da inclusão, vias fechadas pelo regime do dispositivo. A conversão do olhar - engajamento subjetivo na inclusão - e a higiene simbólica - processo de articulação do saber e do conhecimento - aparecem como duas dessas vias reabertas pela interpelação ética.
Dez Anos da PNEEPEI: uma análise pela perspectiva da biopolítica
Authors: Pagni Pedro Angelo
Published: March 2019

Resumo: Em meio às incertezas do quadro político atual e de uma crise institucional sem precedentes no Brasil, este ensaio analisa teoricamente os problemas decorrentes da elaboração, implantação e dos refluxos da PNEEPEI pela perspectiva da biopolítica. Para isso, apoiados nas análises de Foucault e Agamben, compreenderemos o modo como a governamentalidade estatal brasileira se ocupa da inclusão das pessoas com deficiência na escola, elucidando suas faces tanto biopolítica quanto tanatopolítica. À luz da crítica ao paradigma científico que congrega essas faces, no qual a PNEEPEI se apoia, propomos um paradigma estético de inclusão, com vistas a melhor atender as demandas do ethos dessas pessoas na escola.

Published: March 2019

Resumo: O artigo analisa as prerrogativas da Educação Especial na Perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva para a inclusão escolar dos alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). Problematiza as implicações, para a educação, de se concebê-los como pessoas com deficiência, o que acarretaria um risco de o educador desconsiderar o funcionamento psíquico particular desses alunos, demonstrado pelas teorias psicológicas analisadas - Teoria da Mente e Psicanálise. Empenha-se em fazer com que os achados de tais teorias contribuam para a reflexão do professor com seus alunos, em especial aquele de atendimento educacional especializado (AEE), tanto nas estratégias comportamentais, quanto na preparação do material pedagógico que leve em conta suas características psíquicas conhecidas.

Abstract Introduction: The aim of the study was to report the implementation of a functional network for the early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with risk factors and the coordinated work between primary and specialized care in social security in Perú. Material and methods: A cross-sectional analysis of the data of patients evaluated in a health network in the city of Lima (2013 to 2016), older than 18 years, with risk factors for CKD, evaluated with serum creatinine and creatine albumin ratio in random urine (ACR). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the factors associated with the finding of CKD. Results: The implementation included training in renal health, installation of a digital database, organization of laboratories, and empowerment of primary care. We evaluated 42,746 patients of which 41.8% were men, with median age 69.2 years. The most frequent cause of detection was hypertension (HBP): 23,921 (55.9%). The prevalence of CKD was 12,132 (28.4%), the most frequent stage of CKD was 3a: 4735 (39.0%). Of the total, 6214 (14.5%) patients had microalbuminuria and 1335 (3.1%), macroalbuminuria. The risk of CKD increased 2.5 times (95% CI: 2.3-2.7) in patients with diabetes (DM) and HBP, in men (OR 1.2, 95% CI: 1.2-1.3) and as age increased (> 77 years: OR 2.7, 95% CI: 2.5-2.8). The identification of the disease in the primary care setting is 60% less likely than in specialized care. Conclusions: One of every four patients are diagnosed with CKD, and the simultaneous diagnosis of DM and HBP and old age are the most important factors.

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a variação dos parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios na alimentação de bebês cardiopatas. Método Estudo transversal controlado, realizado com bebês de 0 a 6 meses de idade, de ambos os gêneros, em um hospital de referência para cirurgia cardíaca pediátrica. Foram divididos em grupo de estudo os bebês com diagnóstico médico de cardiopatia congênita, pós-cirurgia cardíaca e em grupo controle, composto de bebês sem comorbidades pré-estabelecidas como fatores de risco para disfagia. Realizada monitorização de sinais vitais e oximetria de pulso antes, durante e após a avaliação clínica da deglutição nos dois grupos. Resultados Há diferença significativa da frequência cardíaca entre os dois grupos já anterior à avaliação, porém foi observado aumento acentuado do parâmetro no grupo estudo durante a oferta de via oral. A variação da frequência respiratória foi significativa durante a oferta de seio materno no grupo estudo, que também apresentou maior queda de saturação quando comparada a do grupo controle. Conclusão Há variação de parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios durante alimentação de bebês cardiopatas.
Validity and features of spontaneous speech in acute aphasia as evaluated with the Brief Aphasia Evaluation: is fluent aphasia more severe than nonfluent aphasia?
Authors: Vigliecca Nora Silvana
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Purpose To explore the relationship between the two components of spontaneous speech in the Brief Aphasia Evaluation (BAE) and the rest of the scale represented by its three main factors: The Expression, Comprehension, and Complementary factors. Methods BAE has proven validity and reliability. The evaluation of spontaneous speech in this scale comprises two components: Performance Rank (score: 0-3) and Type of Disorder (Fluency [F], Content [C], or Mixed [FC]) when rank < 3. Sixty-seven patients with left brain damage and 30 demographically matched healthy participants (HP) were studied. It was analyzed the correlation between Performance Rank and the three BAE factors and, recoding 3 as 0 and < 3 as 1, the sensitivity/specificity of this component for each factor. The effect of Type of Disorder on the three factors was analyzed. Results 1) Performance Rank: Correlations of 0.84 (Expression), 0.81 (Comprehension), and 0.76 (Complementary) were observed, with a sensitivity and specificity ≥ 78% for any factor; 2) Type of Disorder: The performance significantly decreased from FC to C and from C to F in Expression (FC < C < F), from FC to C and from FC to F also in Comprehension and Complementary, from patients with any type of disorder to HP. Conclusion Performance Rank was a relevant indicator of aphasia by its consistency with valid and comprehensive dimensions of acute language impairments. A degree difference between F and C was observed, being F a milder disorder; i.e., fluency problems were less severe than retrieval or anomia ones.

RESUMO Este estudo investigou o efeito da espiritualidade no local de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde sobre a convicção moral e quebra de regras pró-sociais. Os dados foram coletados de 315 profissionais de saúde dos três distritos principais de South Punjab, Paquistão. A validade das medidas foi determinada por meio de análise fatorial confirmatória. As relações hipotéticas foram investigadas usando modelagem de regressão estrutural (SEM). Os resultados demonstraram que o efeito da espiritualidade no local de trabalho na quebra de regras pró-sociais e na convicção moral foi significativo. No entanto, o efeito mediador da convicção moral entre espiritualidade no local de trabalho e quebra de regras pró-sociais não foi significativo. Os profissionais de saúde podem regulamentar a quebra de regras pró-sociais, classificando e promovendo os indivíduos com uma elevada espiritualidade no local de trabalho para as posições que exigem alto nível de quebra de regras pró-sociais, em vez de considerar as crenças morais pessoais dos provedores de serviços de saúde.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the representations constructed by people living with HIV on the infection and their influence on the late search for diagnosis. Method: A qualitative study, conducted through an open interview with people who had a late diagnosis of HIV infection. The theoretical framework adopted was the Theory of Social Representations based on a critical approach. For data analysis, was used the Structural Analysis of Narration method and the MAXQDA 12® software. Results: Eighteen people participated in the study. The following original representations were unveiled: AIDS as a transmissible and dangerous disease; disease of the other; severe, incurable and deadly disease; and denial of risk due to trust in a steady partner. These representations contributed to the late search for diagnosis, either because of the attitude of distance from susceptible people, or because they did not perceive or deny the risks to which they were exposed in their life trajectories. Conclusion: Understanding the reasons that lead people to a late diagnosis of HIV is imperative in the current epidemic scenario for the planning and implementation of new strategies and policies for the timely diagnosis of the infection.
Implicitly Coordinated Multi-Agent Path Finding under Destination Uncertainty: Success Guarantees and Computational Complexity
Authors: Nebel Bernhard , Bolander Thomas , Engesser Thorsten , Mattmüller Robert
Published: March 2019

In multi-agent path finding (MAPF), it is usually assumed that planning is performed centrally and that the destinations of the agents are common knowledge. We will drop both assumptions and analyze under which conditions it can be guaranteed that the agents reach their respective destinations using implicitly coordinated plans without communication. Furthermore, we will analyze what the computational costs associated with such a coordination regime are. As it turns out, guarantees can be given assuming that the agents are of a certain type. However, the implied computational costs are quite severe. In the distributed setting, we either have to solve a sequence of NP-complete problems or have to tolerate exponentially longer executions. In the setting with destination uncertainty, bounded plan existence becomes PSPACE-complete. This clearly demonstrates the value of communicating about plans before execution starts.
