ADILI, A., KARTAWINATA, K., SOEDJITO, H. & SAMBAS, E. N. 2018. Tree species diversity in a pristine montane forest previously untouched by human activities in Foja Mountains, Papua, Indonesia. Reinwardtia 17(2): 133‒154. ‒‒ A study on structure and composition of the pristine montane forest previously untouched by human activities was conducted at the Foja Mountains in November 2008. We established a one-hectare plot divided into 100 subplots of 10 m × 10 m each. We enumerated all trees with DBH ≥ 10 cm which diameters were measured, heights were estimated and habitats were noted. We recorded 59 species, 42 genera and 27 families, comprising 693 trees with the total basal area (BA) of 41.35 m2/ha. The forest had lower species richness compared to those of lowland forests in Kalimantan, and Sumatra and montane forests in West Java. The Shannon-Wiener’s diversity index was 3.22. Nothofagus rubra (Importance Value, IV=47.89%) and Parinari corymbosa (IV=40.3%) were the dominant species, constituting the basis for designating the forest as the Nothofagus rubra - Parinari corymbosa association. To date, the dominance of N. rubra is unique to the Foja Mountains, as elsewhere in Papua the montane forests were dominated by N. pullei or other species. The species-area curve indicated a minimal area of 5000 m2. On the family level Fagaceae (IV=53.23%), Chrysobalanaceae (IV=40.53%) and Myristicaceae (IV=26.43%) were dominant. Verti-cally the forest consisted of four strata (A–D). In each stratum Nothofagus rubra, Platea latifolia, Parinari corymbosa and Myristica hollrungii were dominant. The diameter class distribution of Nothofagus rubra, Parinari corymbosa and Platea latifolia led us to assume that these species were regenerating well.

Beyond the Berger Inquiry: Can Extractive Resource Development Help the Sustainability of Canada’s Arctic Communities?
Authors: Southcott Chris , Abele Frances , Natcher David , Parlee Brenda
Published: December 2018

The four decades since the Berger Inquiry have produced a large body of research demonstrating the positive and negative impacts of resource development on northern communities. However, little independent research has aimed to yield an understanding of how best to manage the impacts of resource development and to harness its benefits in ways that can promote long-term sustainable development. This question was the impetus for the Resources and Sustainable Development in the Arctic (ReSDA) research project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada in 2011. Representing a network of researchers, community members and organizations, ReSDA researchers conducted a series of analyses that focused on what was needed to ensure that northern communities received more benefits from resource development and potential negative impacts were mitigated. Overall, the analyses highlight the serious gaps that remain in our ability to ensure that resource development projects improve the sustainability of Arctic communities. These gaps include a proper understanding of cumulative impacts, the ability of communities to adequately participate in new regulatory processes, the non-economic aspects of well-being, the effects of impact and benefit agreements and new financial benefits, and new mitigation activities.
Pigeonring
Authors: Qin Jianbin , Xiao Chuan
Published: December 2018

The pigeonhole principle states that if
n
items are contained in
m
boxes, then at least one box has no more than
n/m
items. It is utilized to solve many data management problems, especially for thresholded similarity searches. Despite many pigeonhole principle-based solutions proposed in the last few decades, the condition stated by the principle is weak. It only constrains the number of items in a single box. By organizing the boxes in a ring, we propose a new principle, called the pigeonring principle, which constrains the number of items in multiple boxes and yields stronger conditions.

To utilize the new principle, we focus on problems defined in the form of identifying data objects whose similarities or distances to the query is constrained by a threshold. Many solutions to these problems utilize the pigeonhole principle to find candidates that satisfy a filtering condition. By the new principle, stronger filtering conditions can be established. We show that the pigeonhole principle is a special case of the new principle. This suggests that all the pigeonhole principle-based solutions are possible to be accelerated by the new principle. A universal filtering framework is introduced to encompass the solutions to these problems based on the new principle. Besides, we discuss how to quickly find candidates specified by the new principle. The implementation requires only minor modifications on top of existing pigeonhole principle-based algorithms. Experimental results on real datasets demonstrate the applicability of the new principle as well as the superior performance of the algorithms based on the new principle.
Model of the Galaxy with Hot Dark Matter
Authors: Khokhlov Dmitri L.
Published: December 2018

The model of the galaxy is considered as a structure of the baryonic matter embedded into the hot dark matter. The dark matter is supposed to come into being from the decaying matter after the epoch of structure formation. The galaxy is divided into two regions. In the inner region, the baryonic matter predominates over the hot dark matter while in the outer region, the hot dark matter predominates over the baryonic matter. The motion of the test particle is bounded in the inner region (elliptic orbit) and unbounded in the outer region (parabolic orbit). Observational constraints on the proposed model are considered from the rotation curves of the galaxies: Milky Way, M33, NGC 2366 and IC 2574.

Autonomy in surgical robots and its meaningful human control
Authors: Ficuciello Fanny , Tamburrini Guglielmo , Arezzo Alberto , Villani Luigi , Siciliano Bruno
Published: December 2018

This article focuses on ethical issues raised by increasing levels of autonomy for surgical robots. These ethical issues are explored mainly by reference to state-ofart case studies and imminent advances in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) and Microsurgery. In both area, surgicalworkspace is limited and the required precision is high. For this reason, increasing levels of robotic autonomy can make a significant difference there, and ethically justified control sharing between humans and robots must be introduced. In particular, from a responsibility and accountability perspective suitable policies for theMeaningfulHuman Control (MHC) of increasingly autonomous surgical robots are proposed. It is highlighted how MHC should be modulated in accordance with various levels of autonomy for MIS and Microsurgery robots. Moreover, finer MHC distinctions are introduced to deal with contextual conditions concerning e.g. soft or rigid anatomical environments.

Authors: Vahabi Seyed Milad , Zafarghandi Mojtaba Shamsaie , Bahreinipour Mostean
Published: December 2018

The attenuation coefficient is an important parameter to describe the penetration of photons in biological materials, such as vitamins. In this study, a novel simulation model based on the Monte Carlo simulation has been utilized to calculate the mass attenuation coefficients for some vitamins at the energies 356.61, 661.66, 1,250, and 1,408.01 keV. The calculated attenuation coefficient values were then used to determine the mass energy absorption coefficient. It was observed that the parameters were highly in accordance with the XCOM program and experimental data. The results showed that the model is quite convenient in the calculation of mass attenuation coefficients. Besides, the Monte Carlo simulation can be followed to determine the attenuation of photons in various materials. The results of the investigated data are useful in the medical field.

Published: December 2018

Após a reforma psiquiátrica, nos anos 70, surgiram mudanças no atendimento a pacientes com transtorno mental, procurando a sua reinserção na sociedade. Foram criados os Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS), que têm como função fazer o acolhimento e a atenção às pessoas com transtornos mentais graves e persistentes, procurando preservar e fortalecer os laços sociais do usuário em seu território. A abordagem farmacológica dos transtornos mentais envolve o uso de psicofármacos, que são medicamentos que capazes de alterar a atividade mental, aliviando os sintomas dos transtornos psiquiátricos e ajudando na reintegração do indivíduo ao meio familiar e social. Alguns destes medicamentos podem gerar efeitos adversos que dificultam a adesão do paciente ao tratamento. Estes pacientes também estão mais propensos a erros de medicação e à não aceitação da terapia. Neste cenário, é fundamental a atuação do profissional farmacêutico, qualificado para atuar nessa área a fim de melhor orientar a equipe multidisciplinar, o paciente e seus familiares, prestando atenção e assistência farmacêutica. Os CAPS, no entanto, não possuem farmácia local, o que não obriga a presença do farmacêutico neste ambiente. Torna-se fundamental, portanto, ressaltar a importância de leis que garantam a presença desse profissional nestes CAPS.

The systemDrive: a Multisite, Multiregion Microdrive with Independent Drive Axis Angling for Chronic Multimodal Systems Neuroscience Recordings in Freely Behaving Animals
Authors: Billard Myles W. , Bahari Fatemeh , Kimbugwe John , Alloway Kevin D. , Gluckman Bruce J.
Published: December 2018

A multielectrode system that can address widely separated targets at multiple sites across multiple brain regions with independent implant angling is needed to investigate neural function and signaling in systems and circuits of small animals. Here, we present the systemDrive, a novel multisite, multiregion microdrive that is capable of moving microwire electrode bundles into targets along independent and nonparallel drive trajectories. Our design decouples the stereotaxic surgical placement of individual guide cannulas for each trajectory from the placement of a flexible drive structure. This separation enables placement of many microwire multitrodes along widely spaced and independent drive axes with user-set electrode trajectories and depths from a single microdrive body, and achieves stereotaxic precision with each. The system leverages tight tube–cannula tolerances and geometric constraints on flexible drive axes to ensure concentric alignment of electrode bundles within guide cannulas. Additionally, the headmount and microdrive both have an open-center design to allow for the placement of additional sensing modalities. This design is the first, in the context of small rodent chronic research, to provide the capability to finely position microwires through multiple widely distributed cell groups, each with stereotaxic precision, along arbitrary and nonparallel trajectories that are not restricted to emanate from a single source. We demonstrate the use of the systemDrive in male Long–Evans rats to observe simultaneous single-unit and multiunit activity from multiple widely separated sleep–wake regulatory brainstem cell groups, along with cortical and hippocampal activity, during free behavior over multiple many-day continuous recording periods.

While PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is well characterized for its role in mitochondrial homeostasis, much less is known concerning its ability to prevent synaptodendritic degeneration. Using unbiased proteomic methods, we identified valosin-containing protein (VCP) as a major PINK1-interacting protein. RNAi studies demonstrate that both VCP and its cofactor NSFL1C/p47 are necessary for the ability of PINK1 to increase dendritic complexity. Moreover, PINK1 regulates phosphorylation of p47, but not the VCP co-factor UFD1. Although neither VCP nor p47 interact directly with PKA, we found that PINK1 binds and phosphorylates the catalytic subunit of PKA at T197 [PKAcat(pT197)], a site known to activate the PKA holoenzyme. PKA in turn phosphorylates p47 at a novel site (S176) to regulate dendritic complexity. Given that PINK1 physically interacts with both the PKA holoenzyme and the VCP-p47 complex to promote dendritic arborization, we propose that PINK1 scaffolds a novel PINK1-VCP-PKA-p47 signaling pathway to orchestrate dendritogenesis in neurons. These findings highlight an important mechanism by which proteins genetically implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD; PINK1) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD; VCP) interact to support the health and maintenance of neuronal arbors.

Authors: He Guiyuan , Li Qi , Li Wenxin , Wang Li , Yang Jun , Zeng Fanju
Published: December 2018

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has an effect on acute kidney injury (AKI) in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Methods: We reviewed literature through PubMed, Medline through PubMed and OVID, The Cochrane Library, Wan Fang Database, China Biology Medicine Database, Chinese Periodical Database, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (1980 to July 10, 2018). Two investigators independently collected the data and assessed the quality of each study. RevMan 5.3 was used for the present metaanalysis.

Results: A total of 5 RCTs (N = 678 participants) were included in the primary analysis. Pooled analysis showed that intravenous infusion of NAC significantly reduced the incidence of AKI (RR = 0.77, 95% = 0.63 to 0.94, P < .01) and that NAC could decrease the adverse cardiac events (RR = 0.83, 95% = 0.70 to 0.97, P < .05), but that it may increase the length of stay in the ICU (mean difference [MD] = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.61 to 2.60, P < .01). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in the requirement for renal replacement therapy(RRT) (RR = 1.33, 95% = 0.63 to 2.81, P = .45) and all-cause mortality (RR = 0.51, 95% = 0.25 to 1.06, P = .07).

Conclusion: Our study shows that intravenous infusion of NAC could prevent postoperative AKI in preexisting-renal-failure patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Published: December 2018

The goal of the present work is the synthesis of the refractory zirconium diboride powder in the combustion mode. One of the most effective methods of synthesis of the refractory zirconium diboride powder is the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method (SHS) with a preliminary mechanical activation of the initial components. Initial components of the SH-synthesis are borate ore, zircon, aluminum powder and magnesium. After the SH-synthesis obtained products were processed by 37.5% HCl and were washed with distilled water. Final composition and microstructure of SHS products were investigated with X-ray phase analysis and SEM. Boron-containing SHS-powders can be used as bio-protection in nuclear engineering, production of abrasive powders, ceramic, composite materials and coatings.
The Relative Importance of Agricultural and Wetland Habitats to Waterbirds in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta of California
Authors: Shuford W. David , Reiter Matthew , Sesser Kristin , Hickey Catherine , Golet Gregory
Published: December 2018

Biodiversity loss from agricultural intensification underscores the urgent need for science-based conservation strategies to enhance the value of agroecosystems for birds and other wildlife. California’s Central Valley, which has lost over 90% of its historical wetlands and currently is dominated by agriculture, still supports waterbird populations of continental importance. A better understanding of how waterbirds use available habitat is particularly needed in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, an ecosystem under threat. From 2013 to 2015, we studied waterbird habitat associations in the Delta during fall migration and winter by conducting diurnal counts at random locations in key waterbird habitats throughout the Delta. Waterbird use of cover types (agricultural crops and managed wetlands) varied substantially among waterbird groups, by season, and among geographic subregions of the Delta. Overall, wetlands were particularly important to waterbirds in fall. In winter, wetlands and flooded rice and corn were important to many waterbird groups, and non-flooded corn and irrigated pasture to geese and cranes. The factors that influenced waterbird abundance and distribution also varied substantially among groups and differed at various geographic scales. In both seasons, most groups had a positive association at the field level with flooded ground and open water and a negative association with vegetation. Given the great uncertainty in the future extent and pace of habitat loss and degradation in the Delta, there is an urgency to prioritize conservation actions needed to maintain robust waterbird populations in this region. For the Delta to retain its importance to waterbirds, it will be necessary to maintain a mosaic of wetlands and wildlife-friendly crops that accounts for the value of the surrounding landscape. This includes restoring additional wetlands and maintaining corn, rice, alfalfa, and irrigated pasture, and ensuring that a substantial portion of corn and rice is flooded in winter.
Historiografia islâmica clássica: as narrativas sobre os primeiros anos do Islã
Authors: Castro Michele Rosado de Lima
Published: December 2018

Esse trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar algumas características dos textos históricos produzidos no mundo islâmico ao longo dos séculos VIII, IX e X bem como discorrer acerca dos principais problemas debatidos entre os historiadores contemporâneos sobre a utilização deles como fontes para seus estudos sobre os primeiros anos do Islã. Os textos a que nos referimos constituem um valioso conjunto de documentos históricos, visto que são os mais antigos textos que chegaram até nós escritos pelos próprios muçulmanos sobre seu passado e sobre as origens do Islã. No entanto, há algumas características que suscitam problemas para os historiadores do tema, como, por exemplo, o fato de não serem relatos contemporâneos aos acontecimentos e a forma como essas narrativas foram construídas. Na primeira parte do texto, apresentaremos as considerações dos historiadores acerca do surgimento do interesse pela história entre os árabes. Na segunda parte, apontaremos as principais características desses textos e abordaremos outros dois problemas debatidos na historiografia atual sobre o tema: podemos chamar os escritores desses textos de autores? Podemos confiar nas informações fornecidas por esses textos sobre os primeiros anos do Islã? Finalmente, na terceira parte, tentaremos nos posicionar diante dos debates apresentados para, ao final, propormos uma forma de abordagem desses textos como fontes históricas.

ON THE PARTICULARITIES OF THE SPREAD OF CHISTIANITY IN CAMBODIA IN THE XIX–XXI CENTURY
Authors: Bektimirova Nadezhda N.
Published: December 2018

Introduction. This paper analyses the spread of Christianity in Cambodia – a rarely studied issue in Russian and Western oriental studies. Cambodia is a country where Buddhism is the state religion and has traditionally been adopted by the vast majority of its population. An analysis of the activity of Christian missions in Cambodia through a long historical period (XIX–XXIs centuries) allows for a deeper appreciation of the core issues for South East Asian countries in the XXI century, namely religious conversion and religious tolerance. The purpose of the article is to consider the reasons behind the lack of any significant enthusiasm towards Christianity among Cambodia’s population through the XIX–XX centuries as well as the impetus behind the growing conversion to Christianity in the XXIs century. Materials and Methods. The article is based on an analysis of the memoirs of French travelers and Christian missionaries of the XIX century as well as documents of the Ministry of Cults and Religion of Cambodia and the Cambodian press. The author uses both general scientific and special-historical methods: dialectical, comparative-historical and chronological. Results. The author shows that during the colonial period French Christian missionaries accepted the extreme unwillingness of the native population to convert to Christianity. At the time this could be explained by the prevalence of deeply held Buddhist ideas and traditions. By the end of the XX century Christianity began to attract a segment of the Khmer population, due to a whole host of pragmatic and ideological reasons. Given growing activities of various Christian organizations in Cambodia their influence is highly likely to increase over time. Conclusions. The analysis of the situation in Cambodia demonstrates that overall, the process of conversion to Christianity is unlikely to trigger a considerable change in the field of religion, especially considering that Buddhism still enjoys widespread state support. The vast majority of the Cambodian population shows a high degree of tolerance towards other religious confessions. Thus, the growth of Christian organizations has not so far led to a rise in negative attitudes.

Keywords: Cambodia, Buddhism, Christianity, religious conversion, propaganda of Christianity, Christian missions, religious tolerance.
THE PROBLEM OF LABOR TRAINING AND INVOLVEMENT OF STUDENTS IN AGRICULTURAL WORK IN THE MORDOVIAN ASSR IN THE MIDDLE 1950s – IN THE MIDDLE 1960s
Authors: Pershin Sergey V. , Pershina Tatyana A.
Published: December 2018

Introduction. This publication presents the preliminary results of the study of the problem of labor training and involvement of students in agricultural work in the mid-1950s – mid-1960s on the materials of the Mordovian ASSR. The introduction of elements of Polytechnic education into the secondary school coincided with the transformation of the agricultural sector of the Soviet economy, designed to solve the problem of providing the population with food. Materials and Methods. The research is based on traditional methods used in the national historical science: problem-chronological, systemic, comparative-historical. These methods have been successfully tested in the process of determining the regional aspects of socio-economic development. In the processing of quantitative data, the statistical method was used, and for a more detailed immersion in the subject of the study, a micro-historical approach was used. The study is based on a wide range of archival sources and published materials. Results. Proclaiming as its main objectives the introduction of Polytechnic education, party workers and heads of agricultural enterprises of the Mordovian ASSR in the second half of 1950s – early 1960s succeeded in bringing student teams to agricultural work. The possibility of introducing students of each particular school to the modern achievements of animal husbandry was directly dependent on the level of mechanization of the surrounding collective and state farms. Forms of labor training in the mid-1950s – early 1960s become more diverse. Discussion and Conclusion. The practice of involving students in agricultural work in the Khrushchev era was justified by the need to apply the elements of Polytechnic education in secondary school. In reality, child labour was used to carry out regular national economic plans. Forms of vocational training and labor education during the study period gradually improved. Among the innovations of the mid-1950s – early 1960s you should allocate yunnatskih (young naturalists) movement and experience movement, labour camp, and student production teams. At the same time, most farms did not have the material and technical base necessary for vocational training, and therefore the idea of cooperation between the educational organization and the agricultural enterprise of mass development was not received. The effectiveness of labor training significantly reduced the campaign approach to its organization.

Keywords: vocational training, school, pioneer, Komsomol, young naturalists, labor camp, collective farm, agriculture.

Authors: Demkovych Andrii
Published: December 2018

The article presents the results of lipid peroxidation activity in blood serum, which were assessed on the base changes in the level of oxidative modification of proteins, TBA-active products, and total amount of nitrogen (II) oxide metabolites (NO2− + NO3−). Indices were determined on the 14th day of development in experimental periodontitis both without correction, and in condition treatment with a water-soluble flavonol quercetin (corvitin). The treated animals take intramuscular injections of corvitin in a dose 100 mg/kg weight for 7 days. For further testing, blood serum was selected. The results were statistically analyzed using parametric and non-parametric indices. In this investigation, characterized dynamics of changes in the indices of oxidative processes activity were revealed both during the period of formation and the course of periodontitis. In particular, it was found that, for the period of the most expressed inflammatory reaction in the periodontal complex, intensive increase in the level of reactive forms of oxygen. The treatment with flavonol quercetin for 7 days resulted in stabilization of free radical processes and the suppression of the inflammatory reaction.

The duration and intensity of exercise are significant factors in oxidative, morphological, and functional changes of the gastrointestinal tract. This study aimed to investigate the effects of both exhaustive swimming and probiotic VSL#3 on rats that had been previously trained with moderate swimming. The rats were divided into four groups labeled: control (C), probiotic (P), exercise (E), and probiotic–exercise (PE). Groups P and PE were fed with probiotic mixture VSL#3. Groups E and PE had a 5-week moderate swimming program (1 h/day for 5 days/week), followed by a 1-week exhaustive swimming program (trained like in moderate program but 3 times with 150 min resting sessions, for 5 days/week). At the end of the program, the rats were euthanized. Malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and reduced glutathione levels were measured in tissue samples from the gastrocnemius muscle, heart, liver, kidney, and colon. In vitro contractile activity and histomorphology of the colon were also determined. Exercise and/or probiotic decreased the oxidative stress and also increased the level of one or more of the antioxidant enzymes in some of the organs. Probiotics had more pronounced effects on colon morphology than exercise but unexpectedly this effect was non-trophic. In the colon, the thickness of the tunica muscularis and the number of goblet cells were not affected; however, probiotic administration decreased the crypt depth and tunica mucosa thickness. Exercise increased the Emax value of acetylcholine (ACh), while decreased its sensitivity. These findings suggest that exhaustive swimming does not cause oxidative stress and that probiotic consumption improves oxidative balance in trained rats. The probiotic intake does not alter the effect of exercise on the contractile activity of the colon. Colon mucosal changes induced by probiotics are independent of exercise.
O COMITÊ DE ARTICULAÇÃO FEDERATIVA NO GOVERNO LULA: OS PERCALÇOS DA COOPERAÇÃO TERRITORIAL
Authors: Grin Eduardo José , Abrucio Fernando
Published: December 2018

O artigo discute como o federalismo brasileiro buscou promover capacidades estatais municipais no governo Lula (2007-2010) por meio da cooperação territorial entre esses entes e a União. Analisa-se o Comitê de Articulação Federativa, que foi uma inovação no arranjo federativo com as municipalidades, mas cujos resultados, com o tempo, afastaram-se do propósito inicial. Com base na literatura internacional e no estudo do caso, argumenta-se que relações intergovernamentais organizadas por meio de fóruns federativos sem autoridade decisória e recursos de enforcement intragovernamental reduzem sua capacidade de implementar ações pactuadas com os entes. Este é um estudo qualitativo ( pathway case ) apoiado em explicações causais de casos similares. Contribui-se com a literatura mostrando os limites das arenas intergovernamentais baseadas na lógica territorial, realçando que os sistemas nacionais de políticas públicas, presentes em algumas áreas, têm sido mais efetivos na cooperação federativa.
A LUTA PELO RECONHECIMENTO E O PARADIGMA DA DÁDIVA: UMA PROPOSTA DE ARTICULAÇÃO TEÓRICA
Authors: Fontes Paulo Vitorino
Published: December 2018

Neste artigo pretendemos articular a teoria do reconhecimento de Axel Honneth com a teoria da dádiva, desenvolvida por vários autores, entre os quais Paul Ricoeur, Marcel Hénaff e Alain Caillé. Desse diálogo entre a tradição alemã e a filosofia contemporânea francesa resulta a tese de que uma demanda por reconhecimento é também um sacrifício, uma dádiva. A ideia é a de que uma teoria da dádiva pressupõe o reconhecer e ser reconhecido como sendo uma ordem simbólica da dádiva. Ao articularmos as propostas do reconhecimento agonístico ou por conquista, derivadas da corrente hegeliana com a ideia do mútuo reconhecimento simbólico, concretizado na dádiva, pretendemos completar os estudos do reconhecimento e explorar as suas consequências no pensamento social e político contemporâneo.

A reflexão sobre o cotidiano urbano é um convite a se perceber, por entre as frechas do poder constituído e da razão disciplinar, as formas insubmissas e poéticas de apropriação do espaço urbano através do que Michel de Certeau chamou de tática como a arte do sem-poder. A problemática sugerida implica, nos marcos dos estudos urbanos, sermos capazes de desocultar uma cidade vívida, que por vezes habita sob as cidades planejadas e técnicas. Por essa razão, este artigo adota a emblemática cidade de Veneza como experimento de uma empiria para uma razão cega, porque ela é, em muitos aspectos de sua contraditória vida ordinária, uma espécie de anticidade em meio a fluxos globais de pessoas, bens e capital em que está inserida.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to identify soil chemical attributes restricting grain yield in Oxisols under the no-tillage system, using directed soil sampling. High, medium, and low yield zones were defined in two agricultural fields using historical yield data of several crops. The yield zones were defined based on the harvest maps of the following crops: corn in 2008/2009, white oat in 2009, and corn in 2012/2013 in field I, with 117.70 ha; and corn in 2009/2010, soybean in 2010/2011, and wheat in 2012 in field II, with 107.30 ha. Soil sampling points were georeferenced in each yield zone, where samples were collected at eight soil depths, spaced 0.05 m apart, totaling 80 variables. Low yields were associated with low cation exchange capacity, low phosphorus and organic matter contents, and high clay content. In both studied fields, the highest organic matter content in the subsurface layers was the main indicator of high yield. Soil sampling considering yield zones is an efficient strategy to identify chemical attributes restricting grain yield and also allows guiding more precise site-specific interventions.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to develop dehydrated soup formulations using flour from peach palm by-product (PPB), Spirulina platensis or spinach, as well as to evaluate their composition by physical, chemical, instrumental, and sensory methods. Four formulations were developed: standard, PPB flour, PPB flour and S. platensis, and PPB flour and spinach. The samples were analyzed for proximate composition, chlorophyll content, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, color, viscosity, water absorption, and microbiological parameters. The sensory characterization was performed by the check-all-that-apply method. The soups containing spinach or S. platensis presented the highest protein contents of 3.3 and 4.6 g 100 g-1, respectively. The soups formulated with the microalgae S. platensis showed higher contents of fibers, lipids, and antioxidants. Changes were observed in the color and viscosity of the soups. The standard dehydrated soup was characterized as shiny, creamy, with seasoning flavor and fragments, and a pale-yellow color; the formulation with spinach, as grainy, with an herb odor and flavor, seasoning fragments, and a dark-green color; and with S. platensis, with herb flavor, seasoning fragments, and a dark-green color. The developed formulations are within the microbiological standards for food established by the Brazilian legislation. The sensory analysis revealed a new market niche, and the soups containing PPB and S. platensis showed good acceptability. Peach palm flour, Spirulina platensis, and spinach are alternatives for the nutritional enrichment of dehydrated soups with high protein, ash, fiber, and antioxidant contents.

ABSTRACT Offering new products obtained from potatoes is a market opportunity which may increase and motivate the consumption of this tuber. It also can contribute for waste reduction and ensure market for growers. Thus, we aimed to produce potato flour and to evaluate the effect of blanching on the physiochemical characteristics of this product after 3-month storage at room temperature. Potatoes cultivar Agata were used to make unblanched and blanched flour, through thermal treatment at 97°C for 5 min. The unblanched potato flour presented significantly smaller contents of moisture (p= 0.006), proteins (p= 0.001) and soluble fibers (p= 0.024), as well as color alteration. However, it presented higher phenolic compound content (23.77%). The blanched potato flour presented similar nutritional quality compared with the raw potato flour, and also longer shelf life, since dehydration can reduce about 95% of the initial moisture content of the potato. The thermal treatment (blanching) improved the supply of proteins and soluble fibers of the final product, as well as prevented enzymatic browning reaction which would result in color alteration of the product. The treatment reduced total phenolic compound content, though.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salicylic acid (SA) application on pre-transplant acclimatization of native populations of tomato. SA is a growth regulator that modifies plant growth and development by inducing changes in cell processes, physiology and morphology. Five populations of native tomato were sown in polystyrene trays. Peat moss was used as substrate and plants were maintained at field capacity continuously. After emergence, seedlings were applied during three weeks with different concentration of SA (0.0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 μM). A completely random experimental design was used with five replications per treatment. The growth parameters evaluated were height, stem diameter, number of leaves, hypocotyl length, shoot fresh and dry weight (leaves and stem), and root length and fresh and dry weight. An analysis of variance was carried out, and means were compared with the Tukey test (5%) using SAS statistical software. The recorded data show that pre-transplant seedlings of each of the evaluated populations responded significantly (P=0.01) to the SA treatments. Also, the comparison of means of each of the factors under study showed positive changes. With the concentrations of 0.5 and 0.1 μM SA, higher values of the studied variables were obtained than with the concentrations 0.01 and 1.0 μM SA. The native tomato populations sprayed with SA at concentrations of 0.5 and 0.1 μM responded positively in terms of seedling growth and development. Based on these findings, SA treatments can help acclimatize and present better growth conditions to the seedlings before being transplanted.

ABSTRACT The authors evaluated critical points of production stages of the industrial tomato, through physical and physico-chemical analyzes of U2006 hybrid fruits in the harvest, 2016. Fruits were evaluated in relation to raw material, temperature, fresh mass, pH, soluble solids (°Brix), firmness, titratable acidity and extravasation of electrolytes. Samples were collected in six steps: manual, mechanized, truck, arrival at industry, unloading and selection mat in two periods, morning and afternoon, totalizing 60 fruits for each step, and four replications. Fruits which waited for more than 10 hours in the yard generated an increase in serious defects (%), loss of fresh mass, discount on the amount paid for the load. The most critical stages of the production process were identified when tomatoes arrived at the industry and their unloading, when the fruits presented fresh mass loss due to the high temperature. In addition, the authors highlight that a better organization in the arrivals at the industry as well as an efficient communication of crop restriction is crucial, since unscheduled stops increase waiting time, causing significant quality losses.

Resumo Este estudo procura discutir acerca dos ambientes com alta densidade tecnológica - que apresentam grande concentração de equipamentos e instrumentais médico-hospitalares (tecnologias duras), que trazem consigo os desafios ligados à qualificação, modernização e à necessidade de refletir sobre as modificações que possam ocorrer para o cuidado de enfermagem, de forma a responder à seguinte questão: como se configura o cuidado de enfermagem, tendo em vista a perspectiva da humanização em saúde, em instituições com realidades distintas em termos de densidade tecnológica? A partir desta questão, o estudo teve como objetivo comparar percepções e práticas do cuidado de enfermagem, sob a perspectiva da humanização em saúde, em dois serviços hospitalares que se distinguem por apresentar, respectivamente a seguinte configuração: baixa e alta densidade tecnológica. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de entrevista semiestruturada e observação direta. Os dados foram analisados e distribuídos em três categorias: percepções de enfermagem acerca do cuidado humanizado; práticas do cuidado e humanização da assistência e fatores que limitam ou que favorecem o cuidado humanizado de enfermagem. Pôde-se perceber que não é a tecnologia por si só que desumaniza o cuidado, mas principalmente como esta opera nos contextos, institucionais e gerenciais.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify representations regarding adherence to the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis from the perspective of patients who were discharged upon being cured. Method: A qualitative study with patients who completed the drug treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in São Paulo. Social Determination was used to interpret the health-disease process, and the testimonies were analyzed according to dialectical hermeneutics and the discourse analysis technique. Results: Twenty-one patients were interviewed. The majority (80.9%) were men, in the productive age group (90.4%) and on sick leave or unemployed (57.2%) during the treatment. Based on the testimonies, three categories associated with adherence to treatment emerged: the desire to live, support for the development of treatment and care provided by the health services. Conclusion: For the study sample, adherence to the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was related to having a life project and support from the family and health professionals. Free treatment is fundamental for adherence, given the fragilities arising from the social insertion of people affected by the disease. Therefore, special attention is required from the health services to understand patient needs.
Stiffness of corroded partially prestressed concrete T-beams under fatigue loading
Authors: Huang Ying , Wei Jun , Dong Rongzhen
Published: December 2018

To study the evolution of the performance of prestressed concrete beams under the combined effect of corrosion and fatigue, static and fatigue loading experiments of seven partially prestressed reinforced-concrete T-beams are carried out. The results show that brittle failure, marked by longitudinal steel bar fracture at the main crack, occurred under fatigue loading. With an increase in the maximum applied fatigue load and the corrosion degree of the longitudinal steel bar, the fatigue life of the test beam is abruptly shortened, the mid-span deflection growth rate is gradually reduced and the brittleness is more significant. A calculation method for the stiffness and deflection of the corroded partially prestressed concrete that considers the stress redistribution between the prestressing strand and steel bars during fatigue, the fatigue damage of concrete, the corrosion and fatigue damage of steel bars, and the contribution of the tensile force to the stiffness of concrete is proposed. The error between the calculated and experimental results is less than 10%. The research results of this paper can be applied to predict the deflection of an actual bridge structure under fatigue loading in a chloride corrosion environment.
