The impact of working shifts: exploring the views of UK paramedics
Authors: Kirby Kim , Moreland Stephanie , Pollard John
Published: May 2016

There is limited research within the UK investigating the effects of shift work on paramedics. Paramedics have relatively high rates of sickness levels and there are links between shift work and health. This study explores UK paramedics’ perceptions of the impact of working shifts.

Methods:

Exploratory qualitative research was utilised to investigate the perceptions of UK paramedics on the impacts of working shifts. Two focus groups were completed involving 11 paramedics. The transcriptions were analysed using thematic analysis.

Results:

Paramedics described factors associated with working shifts that mirror research already completed within different occupations: effects on physical health, fatigue, family life, safety and performance; but paramedics additionally described factors that are more limited to working in the paramedic profession such as a broader range of psychological stressors and organisational factors. The theme of psychological health was a wider theme that went beyond shift work and encompassed the overall paramedic role and the unique and stressful nature of the work.

Conclusions:

This research has allowed an insight into the perceived effects of shift work on UK paramedics and exposes the challenges paramedics face in their working environment. There is a suggested link between the relatively high rates of sickness and the effects of shift work and paramedics’ overall working environment. Further exploration and recognition of the effects of shift work on UK paramedics is recommended.

This study aimed to identify a proportion of urea and ammonium sulfate associated to natural reactive phosphate that coud maximize the production of ‘marandu’ grass in a red clayay oxisol with low phosphorus content. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with a completely randomized design , in split plots in the time with seven repetitions. The main plots consisted of six levels of the substitution of urea by ammonium sulfate: 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%. The split plots consisted of three growth periods, being the first 30 days after plants emergence and the others spaced 20 days after the previous evaluation. The evaluated variables were: number of tillers, SPAD value, shoot, leaf blade and stem dry mass. The ammonium sulfate can provide higher soil acidity when compared to urea, which contributes to the reactive phosphate solubilization. Ammonium sulfate increment changes the SPAD value of ‘marandu’ grass fertilized with natural reactive phosphate.
Quasi-E-Bayesian criteria versus quasi-Bayesian, quasi-hierarchical Bayesian and quasi-empirical Bayesian methods for estimating the scale parameter of the Erlang distribution
Authors: Reyad Hesham , Younis Adil , Alkhedir Amal
Published: May 2016

This paper proposes a new modification for the E-Bayesian method of estimation to introduce a new technique namely Quasi E-Bayesian method (or briefly QE-Bayesian). The suggested criteria built in replacing the likelihood function by the quasi likelihood function in the E-Bayesian technique. This study is devoted to evaluate the performance of the new method versus the quasi-Bayesian, quasi-hierarchical Bayesian and quasi-empirical Bayesian approaches in estimating the scale parameter of the Erlang distribution. All estimators are obtained under symmetric loss function [squared error loss (SELF))] and four different asymmetric loss functions [Precautionary loss function (PLF), entropy loss function (ELF), Degroot loss function (DLF) and quadratic loss function (QLF)]. The properties of the QE-Bayesian estimates are introduced and the relations between the QE-Bayes and quasi-hierarchical Bayes estimates are discussed. Comparisons among all estimators are performed in terms of mean square error (MSE) via Monte Carlo simulation.
Proteomic identification of non-erythrocytic alpha-spectrin-1 down-regulation in the pre-optic area of neonatally estradiol-17β treated female adult rats
Authors: Govindaraj Vijayakumar , Rao Addicam Jagannadha
Published: May 2016

It is well established that sexually dimorphic brain regions, which are critical for reproductive physiology and behavior, are organized by steroid hormones during the first 2 weeks after birth in the rodents. In our recent observation, neonatal exposure to estradiol-17β (E2) in the female rat revealed increase in cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) level, sexually dimorphic nucleus (SDN)-pre-optic area (POA) size and down-regulation of synaptogenesis related genes in POA in the adult stage. In the present study, using the same animal model, the protein profile of control and neonatally E2-treated POA was compared by 1D-SDS-PAGE, and the protein that shows a change in abundance was identified by LC-MS/MS analysis. Results indicated that there was a single protein band, which was down-regulation in E2-treated POA and it was identified as spectrin alpha chain, non-erythrocytic 1 (SPTAN1). Consistently, the down-regulation of SPTAN1 expression was also confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot analysis. The SPTAN1 was identified as a cytoskeletal protein that is involved in stabilization of the plasma membrane and organizes intracellular organelles, and it has been implicated in cellular functions including DNA repair and cell cycle regulation. The evidence shows that any mutation in spectrins causes impairment of synaptogenesis and other neurological disorders. Also, protein-protein interaction analysis of SPTAN1 revealed a strong association with proteins such as kirrel, actinin, alpha 4 (ACTN4) and vinculin (VCL) which are implicated in sexual behavior, masculinization and defeminization. Our results indicate that SPTAN1 expression in the developing rat brain is sexually dimorphic, and we suggest that this gene may mediate E2-17β-induced masculinization and defeminization, and disrupted reproductive function in the adult stage.

Published: May 2016

Background:

The second most common age-related chronic neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease is Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Objective:

The focus of this study was to improve the functional capabilities of the participants with PD.

Study groups:

The PD participants were randomized into two groups: Feldenkrais and control.

Methods:

The Feldenkrais group underwent 50 sessions of an exercise program based on the Feldenkrais method. The control group received educational lectures during this period. Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rate Scale (UPDRS – session III), mini-mental state evaluation (MMSE), Hoehn and Yahr scale, and functional tests (figure-of-eight walk test, timed-up-and-go test, rollover task, 360 degrees turn-in-place, functional-reach test, sitting-and-standing test, Berg balance scale (BBS), and hip-flexion strength) were assessed in both groups. Procedures during the 50 sessions were conducted in an appropriate room, twice-a-week, on alternate days and lasted 60 min.

Results:

Thirty subjects were randomly divided into two groups: the Feldenkrais (n=15) and the control (n=15) group. The Feldenkrais group presented significantly better in functional tests (p<0.05) when compared to the control group. The control group received lower scores after the 50-session period in the sitting/standing test (p=0.02), 360 degrees turn-in-place (p=0.01), and rollover test (p=0.01). Results of the BBS demonstrated significantly higher scores in the Feldenkrais group after treatment (p=0.004) when compared to the control group (p=0.01).

Conclusion:

The Feldenkrais lessons produced specific changes in functional mobility in PD participants.
Think outside the box – Interprofessional collaboration starts in the mind of teachers / Querdenken erlaubt – Interdisziplinarität beginnt in den Köpfen von Lehrenden

Published: May 2016

Studies indicate positive effects of interprofessional collaboration on the quality of health care. Interprofessional academic education of health care professionals is crucial for successful cooperation, although Terizakis & Gehring (2014, p. 24) state «a genuine understanding of interprofessional teaching […] hasn't developed yet.» The undefined usage of terminology and coexisting interprofessional study programs are only one part of the problem. Further consented interprofessional learning concepts and systematic knowledge regarding competencies and teaching experiences are lacking. The WHO (2010, pp. 27 f) recommends lecturers to generate a common understanding of interprofessionality. At Hamburg University of Applied Sciences a part-time study program in interprofessional health care and management started in September 2015. It was designed as a continuing education program for occupational-, physio-, and speech therapists, nurses and midwives. As a preparation for the program focus group discussions with staff members of the department „Pfege & Management» were conducted. The aim was to investigate their understanding of interprofessionality, learning and teaching. The results indicated a contextual understanding of interprofessionality, although the usage of the terminology remains blurred. The tension of a congruent interprofessional learning concept is to enhance scientific reflection of disciplines, as well as strengthening interprofessional aspects. Regarding the change in demands of the health care system, interprofessional collaboration is seen as a major resource. The research gap on disciplinary orientations in terms of enhancing professional identity on the one and interprofessionality as innovative construct on the other hand has to be filled.
Mit der Großstadt aus der Armut: Eine neue Theorie der Industrialisierung
Authors: Mathis Franz
Published: May 2016

There is no doubt that industrialization was the main cause of modern economic welfare. The reasons for more or less industrialization in various regions of the world have been discussed widely for decades. However, a closer examination reveals that none of the controversial arguments and explanations put forward stand the test of empirical scrutiny. What has previously been ignored is the central role of large cities in provoking industrialization. Given all the other preconditions necessary for industrialization, it was finally the mass markets of large cities that made industrial mass production profitable for potential entrepreneurs. Thus, wherever large cities and urban agglomerations emerged in the world, industrialization followed suit. In a global and comparative perspective, industrialization was not so much a matter of countries but rather a matter of regions dividing the world into highly urbanized, industrialized and more prosperous regions on the one side, and still primarily rural, preindustrial and poorer regions on the other..
Parent observed neuro-behavioral and pro-social improvements with oxytocin following surgical resection of craniopharyngioma
Authors: Cook Naomi , Miller Jennifer , Hart John
Published: May 2016

Social and emotional impairment, school dysfunction, and neurobehavioral impairment are highly prevalent in survivors of childhood craniopharyngioma and negatively affect quality of life. As surgical resection of craniopharyngioma typically impairs hypothalamic/pituitary function, it has been postulated that perhaps post-operative deficiency of the hormone oxytocin may be the etiology of social/emotional impairment. Research on the benefits of oxytocin treatment as a hormone facilitating social interaction is well established. However, no research has yet been conducted on patients with known pituitary/hypothalamic dysfunction due to structural lesions or surgery. This case report investigates the effects of oxytocin therapy on a youngster with pituitary/hypothalamic dysfunction after craniopharyngioma removal. In this individual, treatment with low dose intranasal oxytocin resulted in increased desire for socialization and improvement in affection towards family. In light of these findings, the authors believe that further research into the potential benefits of intranasal oxytocin therapy for patients with panhypopituitarism is necessary to determine whether a broader population may also benefit from intranasal oxytocin therapy.
Atonement in African Pluralistic Context: Examples from the Luhya of Western Kenya
Authors: Njibwakale Wabomba Sychellus
Published: May 2016

The study is a response to the call for papers that focus on African issues and it discusses the issue of atonement. The question which is raised is whether the Jewish and Luhya traditional concepts of atonement are similar or not. To answer this question, I have attempted to explain the understanding of the concept in Jewish tradition before comparing and contrasting this with the Luhya traditional concept of atonement. The study shows that there is a sense of harmony maintained or restored between worshippers and their objects of worship. Through a study of comparative religions, we find various depictions of atonement in different religious traditions. But the goal is the same—the attainment of forgiveness and reconciliation.

There is no escaping the Big Data hype. Vendors are peddling Big Data solutions; consulting firms employ Big Data specialists; Big Data conferences are aplenty. There is a rush to extract golden nuggets (of insight) from mountains (of data). By focusing merely on the mountain (of Big Data), these adventurers are overlooking the source of the revolution—namely, the many digital data streams (DDSs) that create Big Data—and the opportunity to improve real-time decision making. This article discusses the characteristics of DDSs, describes their common structure, and offers guidelines to enable firms to profit from their untapped potential.

Published: May 2016

When speaking about Professor Gheorghe Bilaşcu (1863-1926) and his major contribution to the establishment of Romanian medical education in Cluj, he should be considered not only in terms of scientist and creator of the Dental School, but also through his commitment to the development of science and culture in Romania. A wealthy dentist in Budapest where he graduated from the Dental School, he supported a lot of Romanian students to attend schools and universities in the Budapest, thus contributing to the development of culture in his own country. Finally, he left his private practice in the Capital of Hungary to come to Cluj to support the efforts of building the Dental School and profession in Romania. This paper illustrates the contribution that Professor Gheorghe Bilaşcu made to the development of higher education in Romania, as well as his support of the local culture.

Authors: Lyons Todd W. , Stack Anne M. , Monuteaux Michael C. , Parver Stephanie L. , Gordon Catherine R. , Gordon Caroline D. , Proctor Mark R. , Nigrovic Lise E.
Published: May 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Although children with isolated skull fractures rarely require acute interventions, most are hospitalized. Our aim was to safely decrease the hospitalization rate for children with isolated skull fractures.

METHODS:

We designed and executed this multifaceted quality improvement (QI) initiative between January 2008 and July 2015 to reduce hospitalization rates for children ≤21 years old with isolated skull fractures at a single tertiary care pediatric institution. We defined an isolated skull fracture as a skull fracture without intracranial injury. The QI intervention consisted of 2 steps: (1) development and implementation of an evidence-based guideline, and (2) dissemination of a provider survey designed to reinforce guideline awareness and adherence. Our primary outcome was hospitalization rate and our balancing measure was hospital readmission within 72 hours. We used standard statistical process control methodology to assess change over time. To assess for secular trends, we examined admission rates for children with an isolated skull fracture in the Pediatric Health Information System administrative database.

RESULTS:

We identified 321 children with an isolated skull fracture with a median age of 11 months (interquartile range 5–16 months). The baseline admission rate was 71% (179/249, 95% confidence interval, 66%–77%) and decreased to 46% (34/72, 95% confidence interval, 35%–60%) after implementation of our QI initiative. No child was readmitted after discharge. The admission rate in our secular trend control group remained unchanged at 78%.

CONCLUSIONS:

We safely reduced the hospitalization rate for children with isolated skull fractures without an increase in the readmissions.

Published: May 2016

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical and physical attributes of different soil cover in a Oxisol with a strong wavy relief in the Atlantic Forest Biome, in which were selected three watersheds, employed with grazing (watershed P), forest (watershed M) and coffee (watershed C). Deformed and not deformed samples were collected in three depths for physical and chemical characterization. The chemical characteristics of soil in different watershed studies presented low levels of fertility. It was observed an elevation of pH in the soil and contents of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the watersheds P and C in relation to the watershed M. Due to deforestation and the establishment of agriculture and livestock, there was a decrease in the contents of soil organic matter in the watershed P and C, not altering the physical characteristics of the soil in the watershed P. The implementation of coffee plantation is causing a reduction in the soil quality of watershed C in comparison to the watershed P and M, therefore indicating a need to adequate soil management in this area.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ROOT SYSTEM AND TREE GROWTH PARAMETERS
Authors: Malinovski Ricardo Anselmo , Nutto Leif , Wiese Willian Schwegler , Brunsmeier Martin
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACT The productivity of Eucalyptus at plantations is increasing and has undergone a variety of research studies. Most research is dealing with simple dendrometric variables like the DBH (diameter at breast height) and tree height, or more complex variables including crown parameters or variables concerning photosynthesis. The root systems, however, have not been well analyzed yet. The objective of the study was to analyze the root system with a non-destructive method and to evaluate possible correlations with dendrometric variables of the tree (DBH, height, crown expansion). A small experimental plantation with 39 even-aged, 6-year-old trees of Eucalyptus grandis x urophylla has been investigated within this study. The results of the study show the highest correlation of the root areas with the crown expansion. In general, the root area shows a significantly bigger expansion in the eucalypt plantation than the tree crown, with a more homogeneous development.
Color, physicochemical parameters and antioxidant potential of whole grape juices subject to different UV-C radiation doses

Published: May 2016

ABSTRACT Knowing that moderate stress such as UV radiation can activate defense mechanisms in plants, the use of UV-C radiation appears as hypothesis of a promising technique that would help to stimulate and enhance beneficial compounds for health, through a clean and healthy technology. In this study, the possible induction of secondary metabolism, the increase in the content of phytochemical compounds and physicochemical changes through the use of UV-C radiation were evaluated on whole grape juices produced with Vitis labrusca grapes, cultivar Isabel Precoce. Grapes were harvested, sanitized, exposed to UV-C radiation at doses of 0, 2, 4 and 6 KJ m-2, and then the juices were prepared and packed into amber glass bottles at room temperature. Analyses were performed at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days of storage. Based on results obtained and conditions in which the experiment was performed, UV-C treatment in grapes caused abiotic stress in the fruits, affecting color, titratable acidity, soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio, vitamin C and percentage of protection against oxidation. Application of UV-C did not change levels of phenolic compounds in fruit juices or the percentage of scavenging free radicals, pH and soluble solids.
Spatial dependence and experimental precision in snap bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) trials related to the number of plants and harvests
Authors: Lúcio Alessandro Dal'Col , Benz Vilson , Storck Lindolfo , Cargnelutti Filho Alberto
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACT The productive variability in horticultural crops affects the planning and quality of the experiments, leading to wrong conclusions. The objectives of this study were to verify the spatial dependence of the fresh biomass of snap beans and to dimension the number of plants and harvests that are necessary to improve experimental accuracy in trials. The data of the fresh biomass of snap beans from uniformity trials carried out in a greenhouse and in the field with semivariograms were created with data transformed into indicators. Thus, they were combined on scenarios of plot size and harvest grouping, and they were adjusted to the spherical, exponential and Gaussian models. A response surface was also applied, with the variation coefficient as a dependent variable and the numbers of plants per plot and harvests as independent variables. The estimates of the semivariogram models parameters indicated a weak spatial dependence. The average of the fresh biomass of snap beans is distributed randomly in the trials, and it is not influenced by the number of plants per plot or by the number of grouped harvests. The best combinations between the number of plants per plot and harvest, for the smaller variation coefficients, are plots of 24 plants for plastic greenhouse and field, and 28 plants for plastic tunnel, in the autumn-winter, combined with the grouping of all harvests. In the spring-summer the number of plants per plot was 30 for plastic tunnel and field, also combined with the grouping of all harvests.
“I’m an immigrant”: cosmopolitismo, alteridade e fluxos comunicacionais em uma campanha anti-xenofobia no Reino Unido
Authors: Cogo Denise , Riegel Viviane
Published: May 2016

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre as relações entre comunicação, cosmopolitismo e alteridade nos processos migratórios, a partir da análise crítica do discurso de uma campanha publicitária anti-xenofobia, denominada “I’m an Immigrant”, realizada em 2015 no Reino Unido. A partir de uma discussão conceitual acerca das noções de cosmopolitismo, identidades e alteridade nas suas conexões com as representações e práticas de cidadania das migrações transnacionais, analisamos os discursos dos textos das peças da campanha que foram veiculadas em espaços urbanos da cidade de Londres e em espaços digitais da internet. A análise evidenciou que a campanha colabora para atribuir visibilidade aos migrantes a partir da singularização de suas trajetórias. Contudo, essa singularização se constrói, por um lado, a partir da ênfase em uma dimensão economicista que associa imigração a trabalho, sem expor suas contradições, e, por outro lado, é fundamentada em um modelo ocidental, branco e laico que opera para o apagamento de diferenças que constituem as culturas migratórias do Reino Unido.
Educação intercultural. Teorias, políticas e práticas de pluralismo cultural no sistema de ensino italiano
Authors: CATARCI Marco
Published: May 2016

Resumo No contexto italiano, a pesquisa no âmbito da educação e a prática intercultural estão estruturadas, essencialmente, ao longo de dois eixos principais: a) em primeiro lugar, uma abordagem de educação intercultural visa identificar, planejar e experimentar as estratégias mais adequadas para promover uma inserção efetiva dos alunos estrangeiros na escola e na sociedade. Isso também exige a consecução das condições para assegurar que todos os indivíduos (autóctones e imigrantes) alcancem os mesmos níveis de sucesso escolar; b) em segundo lugar, uma vez que a educação intercultural se estende a todos e, especialmente, aos autóctones, assumir essa perspectiva significa atuar na tarefa fundamental de incentivar hábitos de acolhida entre os italianos. Isso pode e deve ter consequências na revisão e na reformulação do sistema educacional, que não deve estar voltado somente para a formação do cidadão italiano, mas, acima de tudo, do cidadão do mundo, que vive e trabalha em um contexto global interdependente.

RESUMO A avaliação do estudante compreende processos de obtenção de informações sobre o seu desempenho em diferentes domínios e cumpre três funções principais: fomentar o aprendizado (avaliação formativa), embasar decisões sobre o seu progresso (avaliação somativa) e contribuir para o controle da qualidade da sua formação (avaliação informativa). A avaliação programática constitui uma forma inovadora de praticar os procedimentos avaliativos para que cumpram bem suas funções. Neste ensaio, apresentam-se conceitos sobre: diferentes funções da avaliação do estudante, atributos que conferem qualidade aos métodos de avaliação, justificativas para a estruturação de sistemas de avaliação programática e metas e características desejáveis nestes sistemas (centralização, institucionalização, uniformização, abrangência, integração). Sugere-se um modo de configuração de um sistema de avaliação programática do estudante de Medicina e descrevem-se possíveis ações para cumprir suas finalidades. Discutem-se também as dificuldades previsíveis na sua implantação e como podem ser enfrentadas. Espera-se que os conteúdos discutidos neste ensaio contribuam para aumentar o conhecimento dos profissionais envolvidos na avaliação educacional e para influenciar as escolas médicas no sentido de estruturar sistemas efetivos de avaliação programática do estudante.

Carrot Juice Ameliorates N-ethylmaleimide-induced Tissue Damage in Rats: Histopathologic and Immunohistochemical Changes
Authors: Aydoğan Ahbab Müfide , Korkmaz Aslı , Koçkaya E. Arzu
Published: May 2016

N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) is an alkene that is reactive towards thiols. NEM impairs the thiol dependent-antioxidant activity by alkylating endogenous sulphydryls (mainly glutathione). This study was performed to identify the effect of Daucus carota (carrot) juice on the morphological picture of tissues of rats exposed to NEM and carrot juice. The three study groups were control, NEM (0.030 mg/kg, s.c), and NEM+carrot juice (0.030 mg/kg, s.c; 0.710 ml/kg/day, oral). The rats in the NEM+carrot juice group were treated with carrot juice for one hour prior to being treated with NEM for 30 days.In the NEM-treated group, pathological examinations of the liver, kidney, stomach, thymus, brain, small intestine, testes, epididymis and prostate revealed the appearance of inflammatory cell inﬁltration, atrophy of seminiferous tubules, congestion, lymphoid atrophy hyperchromatic cells in the brain, and abnormal villus in the small intestine. In the NEM+carrot juice group, the juice reversed most of the histopathological alterations normally induced by NEM. On the other hand, the sections of the liver and kidney in the NEM and NEM+carrot juice groups showed high malondialdehyde (MDA) immunostaining, and the NEM group showed low GSH immunostaining compared to the control group. The results obtained in our study confirmed that administration of carrot juice might play a role in the prevention of degenerative morphological alterations after exposure to NEM.
Chromatographic Application on a Calixarene Stationary Phase: A Novel HPLC Determination of Flumethasone Pivalate and Salicylic Acid in Their Binary Mixture and Ointment Dosage Form after Two Steps Extraction
Authors: Hashem Hisham
Published: May 2016

Present study reported for the first time about a new, simple, fast, robust and accurate, routine HPLC method for simultaneous quantification of Flumethasone Pivalate and salicylic acid in bulk powder and in an ointment dosage form. Chromatographic analysis was carried out on Calixarene stationary phase after two steps extraction. Water was used in first step for extraction of salicylic acid because the excipients in the ointment interfere with salicylic acid determination upon extraction with organic solvent. After that the residue was extracted with organic solvent for Flumethasone Pivalate. Acetonitrile and H2O in the ratio of 70:30 at flow rate of 1 mLmin-1 and 40 °C were applied as isocratic binary mobile phase. Detection was done at 240 nm. Limits of detection and quantitation for both analytes were 0.125 and 0.250 µg mL-1, respectively. The recovery values of this method were 98.99 ± 0.66% and 97.50 ± 1.33% for salicylic acid and Flumethasone Pivalate, respectively. The effect of small variations in temperature, flow rate, detection wavelength, acetonitrile percentage in mobile phase and injection volume was studied to determine the robustness of the method. The proposed method was found to be robust.
Central Glutaminergic Influences on Viscero-visceral Inhibitory Reflex During Colonal Descending Distension in Ovine Model
Authors: B.F. Kania  , D. Wrońska
Published: May 2016

The aim of presented study was to examine the participation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in development and maintenence reticulo-ruminal motility inhibition caused by visceral pain caused by colonic distension (CD) of different degrees provoked in ovine. Motility inhibition was qualified as a vegetative symptom of the nocifensive effects (viscero-visceral inhibitory reflex). The experiment was carried out on 12 female sheep, Polish merino, in the anoestrus period. A five min  CD episode provokes a statistically significant reticulo-ruminal motility inhibition. Intracerebroventriculary (i.c.v.) administration of the group I mGluRs antagonist DL-AP3 10 min prior to CD, prevents the visceral pain development. Practically all pain symptoms were easy to observe and quantify. These symptoms were recurrently appearing in animals suffering colon distension; however,  the intensity was smaller than in the case of duodenal distension. It suggests that this model of colic is not only less invasive but also less painful for animals. In conclusion, the development and maintenance of reticulo-ruminal motor inhibition of colonic distension are dependent on group I mGluRs receptor activation in the CNS and that these receptors play a crucial role in modulating the acute colonic pain (experimental colic). This less invasive in vivo method may be useful for testing the efficacy of potentially analgesic xenobiotics in small ruminants.

Published: May 2016

El objetivo de esto trabajo es problematizar la conformación de espacios de segregación como efecto de las perspectivas de la política pública. Específicamente, se observa las incoherencias del Programa de Pueblos Mágicos a partir de la experiencia de intervención del turismo en la isla Mexcaltitlán de Uribe a partir de un análisis del fundamento de las políticas públicas basada en la igualdad de posiciones y asistencia condicionada. La investigación que utiliza una revisión bibliográfica, datos secundarios y observación directa identificó un proceso de segregación política formalizando la (no) intervención gubernamental, además de una evasión del patrimonio cultural.  En el lugar de una acción supuestamente articulada por el Estado, la isla fue rechazada (sobrepenalizada) por sus propias condiciones de vulnerabilidad social, económica estructural.

Análise da permanência hospitalar do SUS para os diagnósticos mais comuns em Minas Gerais
Authors: Pedro Coelho Siqueira Roberto Maranhão - Márcio Augusto Gonçalves -
Published: May 2016

A análise de indicadores hospitalares trás consigo dois interesses conflitantes. Por um lado, cidadãos e pacientes sempre gostariam de ter o melhor atendimento possível, tanto em termos de agilidade como de amplitude de cobertura do serviço médico. Por outro lado, o atendimento médico é cada vez mais um jogo de soma zero, ou seja, um sistema no qual os recursos disponíveis são limitados e cabe aos administradores hospitalares balancear e aperfeiçoar a utilização desses recursos. Ao mesmo tempo a administração hospitalar tem se baseado em transferir os gastos para outros participantes do sistema. Nesse estudo, buscou-se explorar quais fatores interferem no desempenho hospitalar. Para isso, foram analisados dados de internação hospitalar entre Dezembro de 2007 e Dezembro de 2008, armazenados no sistema DataSUS/AIH.
