Whose Voices? The Fate of Luigi Nono's Voci destroying muros
Authors: Adlington Robert
Published: April 2016

Luigi Nono's Voci destroying muros for female voices and small orchestra was performed for the first and only time at the Holland Festival in 1970. A setting of texts by female prisoners and factory workers, it marks a sharp stylistic departure from Nono's political music of the 1960s by virtue of its audible quotations of revolutionary songs, its readily intelligible text setting, and especially its retention of the diatonic structure of the song on which the piece is based, the communist “Internationale.” Nono's decision, following the premiere, to withdraw the work from his catalogue suggests that he came to regard it as transgressing an important boundary in his engagement with “current reality.” I examine the work and its withdrawal in the context of discourses within the Italian left in the 1960s that accused the intellectuals of the Partito Comunista Italiano of unhelpfully mediating the class struggle. Nono's contentious reading of Antonio Gramsci, offered as justification for his avant-garde compositional style, certainly provided fuel for this critique. But Voci destroying muros suggests receptivity on the part of the composer—albeit only momentary—to achieving a more direct representation of the voices of the dispossessed.

Se determinó el perfil bioquímico hepático del cocodrilo de Tumbes (Crocodylus acutus) criado en cautiverio en el norte del Perú. Se trabajó con 60 cocodrilos de una población de 255 animales del Zoocriadero del Centro de Acuicultura La Tuna Carranza, del Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Pesquero (FONDEPES), ubicado en la región de Tumbes, Perú. De estos, 24 eran juveniles, 27 subadultos y 9 adultos. Se extrajo 6 ml de sangre entera sin anticoagulante por punción del seno venoso post-occipital manipulando al animal mediante contención física. Se separó el suero mediante centrifugación y las enzimas se analizaron mediante espectrofotometría. Las variables en estudio fueron alanina aminotransferasa (ALT), aspartato amino transferasa (AST), fosfatasa alcalina (FA), bilirrubina total, bilirrubina directa, bilirrubina indirecta, proteínas totales y albúmina. Se encontró diferencia estadística (p<0.05) en relación a los grupos etarios con respecto a la ALT, FA, bilirrubina directa y proteínas totales. Todos los valores con excepción de la albúmina tuvieron marcadas diferencias biológicas con respecto a valores publicados por el International Species Information System.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la eficacia de tres formulaciones comerciales pour on bajo condiciones de campo e in vitro sobre el control de Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus en bovinos naturalmente infestados, en la zona de Oxapampa, Perú. Se trabajó con 105 bovinos infestados con 30 o más teleoginas en un flanco. Los animales se distribuyeron en tres grupos de 35 animales c/u tratados con Fipronil 1% + Abamectina 0.5% + Aceite de Neem 2% (FAN), Flumetrina 1% + Eprinomectina 0.5% (FE) y Flumetrina 1% + Fluazurón 2.5% (FF), respectivamente. La dosis empleada fue de 1 ml/10 kg p.v en la línea dorsal (pour on). Se contó el número de teleoginas (≥4.5 mm) sobre los animales los días 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 y 56 postratamiento. Se calculó la eficacia mediante la prueba de reducción de recuento de teleoginas. Para el estudio in vitro se colectaron 50 teleoginas de cada grupo a las 24, 48 y 72 h postratamiento, así como de un grupo no dosificado. Se inmovilizaron con cinta adhesiva 30 teleoginas de pesos similares (160-340 mg) por grupo y se incubaron a 27 ºC y 85% de humedad relativa por 21 días. Se evaluó mortalidad y oviposición. Los huevos se incubaron por 30 días para determinar la eclosión larval, eficiencia reproductiva y eficacia in vitro. El estudio en campo demostró que las combinaciones FAN (99.4-100%), FE (95.8-98.4%) y FF (97.3-98.8%) fueron eficaces (>95%) los días 7-28, 7-14 y 21-56, respectivamente. In vitro, las combinaciones FAN y FF tuvieron 100% de eficacia en las tres colectas; mientras que la combinación FE mostró una eficacia del 98-99% en teleoginas colectadas a las 48 y 72 h postratamiento.
Enriquecimiento de la Carne de Cuy (Cavia porcellus) con Ácidos Grasos Omega-3 Mediante Dietas con Aceite de Pescado y Semillas de Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis)
Authors: Guevara V. Jorge , Rojas M. Sergio , Carcelén C. Fernando , Seminario S. Luis
Published: April 2016

El objetivo del estudio fue enriquecer la carne de cuy (Cavia porcellus) con ácidos grasos omega-3 mediante el uso de dietas con fuentes de omega-3. Se utilizaron 48 cuyes machos de 42 días de edad y peso inicial de 615 g. Los cuyes se asignaron al azar a cuatro tratamientos con tres repeticiones (pozas) de cuatro cuyes cada una. Los tratamientos fueron: 1) Dieta control; 2) Dieta suplementada con 1.0% de aceite de pescado; 3) Dieta suplementada con 4.0% de semilla de sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis); y 4) Dieta suplementada con 1.0% de aceite de pescado + 4.0% de semilla de sacha inchi. La fase experimental tuvo una duración de 28 días. La carne de cuyes alimentados con la dieta con aceite de pescado presentó 1.36% de omega-3 de cadena larga (0.63% ácido eicosapentaenoico [EPA] + 0.73% ácido docosahexaenoico [DHA]) y aquella con dieta con aceite de pescado más sacha inchi alcanzó 0.99% de omega-3 (0.44% EPA + 0.55% DHA). Las carnes de cuyes alimentados con la dieta control o con semillas de sacha inchi no presentaron omega-3 de cadena larga EPA/DHA, pero si omega-3 de cadena corta α-linolénico (ALA). Asimismo, la carne de cuyes alimentados con la dieta con sacha inchi exhibió el más alto contenido de ácidos grasos poliinsaturados (51.35%) y el menor de ácidos grasos monoinsaturados (21.97%) y de ácidos grasos saturados (25.49%). Se concluye que la dieta con aceite de pescado produjo en la carne de cuy una retención de ácidos grasos omega-3 EPA y DHA, mientras que la dieta con semillas de sacha inchi solo hubo retención de omega-3 ALA.

Educational Perspectives: Using Self-Motivation Strategies to Optimize Your Professional Learning
Authors: Dadiz Rita , Baldwin Constance D.
Published: April 2016

Active engagement in continuing professional development promotes learning to optimize patient care, as well as advance health care through quality improvement and/or research. To build healthy habits to sustain lifelong learning, health care professionals may apply the principles of self-determination theory (SDT) to better understand the factors that promote and inhibit their motivation to learn. SDT can help individuals identify learning opportunities that best support their competence, autonomy, and ability to relate to their colleagues and profession.
Current Insights into the Pharmacologic and Nonpharmacologic Management of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Infants
Authors: Duncan Daniel R. , Rosen Rachel L.
Published: April 2016

Gastroesophageal reflux is common and, in most cases, is a self-limited and physiologic process in infants. However, the role of diagnostic testing and pharmacologic interventions in reflux remains controversial among providers. Various diagnostic modalities exist, but most infants do not require invasive testing and many symptoms traditionally attributed to reflux show no correlation on further testing. There are many strategies for managing reflux in infants. Nonpharmacologic approaches include positioning, thickening, changing formulas, and changing the frequency of feedings, with the benefits of these methods shown to be inconsistent. Many medications now exist to address reflux, particularly by way of acid suppression, but these pharmacologic interventions have risks, especially in young infants, and many of these therapies have shown limited success in truly reducing reflux symptoms. In conclusion, nonpharmacologic approaches should be used, because most symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux will ultimately resolve without any intervention.
Prediction of the genetic similarity of wheat and wheat quality by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and lab-on-chip methods

Published: April 2016

The aim of this study was to compare efficiency of RP-HPLC (Reversed-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) and LOC (Lab-on-Chip) methods for wheat gluten protein quantification regarding clustering of wheat cultivars according to the genetic similarity (HMW-GS combinations), as well as to explore relations of these two methods to wheat quality parameters. For that purpose, wheat quality parameters (protein content, falling number, wet gluten content, gluten index, Farinograph, Extensograph, and Amylograph), as well as amounts of gliadin and glutenin fractions by RP-HPLC and LOC methods were determined in two different sets of wheat cultivars (Croatian and Serbian). The percentages of gluten proteins and the values of quality parameters were used to characterize the samples by principal component analysis (PCA). Gluten protein quantification performed by method based on the protein fraction separation by molecular weights (LOC) was better for grouping of genetically similar wheat cultivars than quantification of proteins separated by their different solubility in specified solvent gradient (RP-HPLC). LOC method showed higher potential in wheat quality prediction.
Application of fat replacers and their effect on quality of comminuted meat products with low lipid content: A review
Authors: Varga-Visi É. , Toxanbayeva B.
Published: April 2016

In the research area of healthier meat products a possible trend is to replace high energy density fat in formulations with substances providing less energy than fat. The aim of the producers is to obtain a product having maximum yield with similar or same organoleptic properties and structure like well-known full-fat analogues. Properties of high fat products can be restored with the use of different fat substitutes, non-meat protein, and/or hydrocolloids or starch, owing to their stabilization abilities, fat coating, and water binding, respectively. The review is aimed to summarize the effect of different fat substitutes on the processing quality, textural characteristics, and sensory properties of comminuted meat products with low lipid content.
Determinants of revealed comparative advantages: The case of cheese trade in the European Union
Authors: Balogh J.M. , Jámbor A.
Published: April 2016

Revealed comparative advantages are widely used by the global literature to analyse international trade flows, though agricultural trade is usually neglected in empirical works. Moreover, the determinants of revealed comparative advantages are scarcely investigated. This article analyses revealed comparative advantages in European Union’s cheese trade from 1990 to 2013 and identifies its determinants by using panel data econometrics. Results suggest that GDP/capita, geographical indication, and EU membership are positively, while foreign direct investment (FDI) is negatively related to revealed comparative advantages.
Plant polysaccharide degrading enzyme system of Thermobifida cellulosilytica TB100T revealed by de novo genome project data

Thermobifidas are thermophilic, aerobic, lignocellulose decomposing actinomycetes. The Thermobifida genus includes four species: T. fusca, T. alba, T. cellulosilytica, and T. halotolerans. T. fusca YX is the far best characterized strain of this taxon and several cellulases and hemicellulases have been cloned from it for industrial purposes targeting paper industry, biofuel, and feed applications. Unfortunately, sequence data of such enzymes are almost exclusively restricted to this single species; however, we demonstrated earlier by zymography that other T. alba and T. cellulosilytica strains encode the same enzyme sets. Recently, the advances in whole genome sequencing by the use of next generation genomics platforms accelerated the selection process of valuable hydrolases from uncharacterized bacterial species for cloning purposes. For this purpose T. cellulosilytica TB100T type strain was chosen for de novo genome sequencing. We have assembled the genome of T. cellulosilytica strain TB100T into 168 contigs and 19 scaffolds, with reference length of 4 327 869 bps, 3 589 putative coding sequences, 53 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. The analysis of the annotated genome revealed the existence of 27 putative hydrolases belonging to 14 different glycoside hydrolase (GH) families. The investigation of identified, cloned, and heterologously multiple cellulases, mannanases, xylanases, and amylases may result in industrial applications beside gaining useful basic research related information.
Branding fresh food: Who is willing to pay more for beef?
Authors: Morales L.E. , Griffith G. , Wright V. , Fleming E. , Umberger W. , Hoang N.
Published: April 2016

Retail beef markets not offering objective grade indicators in-store leave consumers uncertain about the quality of beef they purchase. The introduction of fresh brands can better meet consumers’ expectations. Willingness-to-pay for ‘ideal’ quality cuts represents the maximum premiums brands could achieve. Using Australian consumers’ survey data, the maximum premiums are modelled using zero-inflated negative binomial models. Results indicate that buyer’s characteristics and perceptions about product attributes influence the premiums for high-quality beef that consumers are willing to pay for a cut considered ‘ideal’, indicating the maximum premium that brands could achieve in relevant segments. The premiums indicate there is substantial potential for beef cuts that reduce purchase risk by more assuredly meeting buyer’s preferences in Australia.
Collagen profile and tenderness of strip loin and silverside originated from polish Holstein-Friesian bulls of the black and white variety
Authors: Szałkowska A. , Modzelewska-Kapituła M.
Published: April 2016

The aim of the study was to determine and compare the collagen profile of two beef carcass cuts: silverside (M. semitendinosus) and strip loin (M. longissimus lumborum), originated from Polish Holstein-Friesian bulls of the black and white variety. Silverside showed higher total, acid-soluble, total soluble, and insoluble collagen content than strip loin. Significant differences between silverside and strip loin were noted in their share of water-soluble and acid-soluble collagen (% total collagen, P<0.05). The thermal treatment caused cooking losses, which reached 38% in strip loin and 40% in silverside. There were no significant differences in shear force values or organoleptic quality between the cuts, which indicates their similar usefulness as meat for roasting. The content and profile of intramuscular collagen did not influence the organoleptic quality or shear force values of silverside and strip loin.
Decadence and progress: The boundaries of official Hungarian art in 1968
Authors: Mélyi József
Published: April 2016

While the new art of a new generation was emphatically present from the mid-Sixties, today thanks to the canonisation of the Iparterv exhibitions, the year of 1968 appears as the primary turning point in Hungarian art. The change was signified by the concentrated and programmatic appearance of the ‘new strivings’ of the avant-garde that publically went against the officially accepted guiding principles and artistic thinking in relatively greater numbers. The border between the official art of the time, and the overstepping of that border by unofficial art, appeared as an important problem.

The state (party) principles and preferences of power that were applied in the area of art were most systematically communicated to the professional audience and a broader public through the art journal Művészet. Based on the examination of the published articles and images in the issues of Művészet from 1968, the study highlights the frame provided by official art theory. It makes the ideological boundary lines visible, so that the criteria of preferences appear more systematically, and from this it is possible to convey the way in which the official system related to artists who partly defined themselves outside of these frames.

From the beginning of the Sixties through the changing viewpoint of the journal it was possible to observe both the gradual deflation of a socialist realist tendency that asserted its dominance and was strongly anti-abstraction, as well as fluctuations: short episodes of ideological loosening were often followed by stricter, more hard-line periods. In the contemporary criticism and exhibition accounts of Művészet the officially specified values, above all the intelligibility of art had to be defended. Művészet saw a guarantee of this, amongst other factors, in the maintenance of the characteristics of Hungarian painting as intelligible to everyone and the continued focus on socialist themes. In the second place, the audience had to be protected since ‘without an audience there is no viable cultural revolution.’ In the third place, ethical commitment had to be defended: ‘humanity’ believes in socialism, and therefore socialist artists have to be prepared to cater to the spiritual nourishment of the masses.

Characteristic of 1968 was the adoptive strategy, which attempted to bring the young artists closer to the categories of the system. In this category sensitivity towards social problems, the illumination of the problems of the present, or an affinity for humanism was enough for a young artist to go from being a representative of progressive art to being tolerated or even temporarily supported. Over the course of 1968 numerous young artists appeared in Művészet who at the December Iparterv exhibition turned directly against the ideals of official art. In 1968 from the official side, the broadening of the picture seemed possible by situating the young in the field between decadence and progress.
The amazing adventures of Ambrus Járom
Authors: Pataki Gábor
Published: April 2016

In the first half of the 60s a conflict between modern art and traditional folk art culture can be detected. The resolution of this conflict could be imagined in the form of a synthesis of the two (following the model of Béla Bartók in music). This study offers some examples of this conflict and attempts at its consolidation in the art of János Orosz (folk surrealism), Mihály Schéner (individual transformation of folk art), Miklós Halmy (search for ‘archetypal roots’), etc. The paper finally deals with the fading possibility of the reconciliation of the neo-avant-garde and folkish/rural tendencies, as well as the negative connotations of the failed attempts to achieve it.
The case of a rejected diploma work Ildikó várnagy, Eve’S Flight from Paradise
Authors: Tatai Erzsébet
Published: April 2016

In the 1960s, students attending the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts – especially female students of sculpture — were socialised in a strange way. This ‘strangeness’ was generated by the latent tension between contradictory values, conflicting motivations and interests — and women were exposed to these dualities a great deal more than men. Being students of sculpture only amplified the effect on them, and overshadowed it with negative stereotypes. The case study sheds light on the latent motives of the rejection of a diploma work made by a female art student, Ildikó Várnagy in socialist Hungary. It examines the case, in the frame of art education and sculpture in the Sixties, as well as gender bias at the Art Academy in Hungary, and also outlines the effects of this incident on her later carrier as an artist.
La cuspide centrale di una smembrata pala d’altare di Pesellino nel Museo Cristiano di Esztergom
Authors: Sonnevend Margit
Published: April 2016

Pesellino’s Crucifixion (inv. n. 55.184) was considered one of the earliest works of the painter until now, only an article published in 1932 by Pietro Toesca revealed a close stylistic relationship with the miniatures made by Pesellino around the years 1447–1448. Comparisons with other works of the painter, like the predella panels in Rome and Worcester, show strong similarities in the way of modelling the heads, the draperies, the gestures and the physiognomy of the figures, which permit to confirm a dating in the late 1440s. A final collation with a cherub face from Giotto’s Badia Polyptych can make it evident that the head of St. John the Evangelist on the pinnacle in Esztergom has a fairly individual style and a very sophisticated expression.
Aesthetics in the shadow of politics
Authors: Hornyik Sándor
Published: April 2016

After 1956, thanks to the political thaw a modernization of the Hungarian canon of socialist realism took place. However, the modern and nationally oriented view of socialist culture was confronted with an ideologically motivated fear of nationalism and bourgeois revisionism, which also fueled official hostility towards the forces of popular naturalism and ‘decadent’ surrealism. Consequently, in the early 1960s a significant part of Hungarian art criticism was still dominated by the dated political aesthetics of Zhdanov that fiercely offended new realist tendencies, like the work of Tibor Csernus and his followers. One of their critics labeled the new realism of Csernus ‘surnaturalism,’ others supported their painting under the umbrella terminology of ‘magical realism.’ The paper investigates the different aesthetic ideologies and interpretations concerning such artists as László Lakner, László Gyémánt, György Korga, Gyula Konkoly, and Csernus himself. Beside the analysis of their avant-garde, ‘formalist’ sources, the paper also attempts to shed light on their realism, based on the classical figurative tradition of painting from Piero della Francesca to Edouard Manet. Beyond the more or less ironic use of the cold war imagery, this ‘traditionalism’ could even legitimate their ‘decadent’ formalism. However, their secret classic and modern references and their unique illusionism or a kind of magical socialist realism have never got the official stamp of approval.
Remains of Utopia: Neo-Marxist affinities of the East European neo-avant-garde
Authors: Fowkes Maja , Fowkes Reuben
Published: April 2016

This paper examines the cross-pollination of the neo-Marxist critique of real existing socialism with the critical practices of the radical stream of the East European neo-avant-garde, and examines the extent to which the imprint of debates over the radical overhaul of the socialist system can be detected in the practices of artists and curators. Artistic affinities with the neo-Marxist debates that flared across the Eastern Bloc can be identified in a shared willingness to question authority, a subversive attitude to canonical thinking and a new interest in the role of an individual in socialist society. Considered also is the shift over the course of the 1970s from a belief in the possibility of a reformed socialism, to one of resignation, cynicism and frustration towards party bureaucracy, in which even the bureaucrats had stopped believing in the official ideology. This change in attitudes towards socialism is detected both in the change in tone in the writings of dissident theorists and in the approach of artists who could no longer muster the neo-avant-garde enthusiasm for the utopian desire to transform the world. The difficult paths taken by those, who sought to recover the radicalism in Marxist thought from under the blanket of state bureaucracy may also be viewed as a valuable source for contemporary social criticism of the post-communist order by a new generation of theorists and artists.
Between science and fiction: The subject of space in Slovak art of the Sixties
Authors: Tamásová Alexandra
Published: April 2016

For the Slovak art of the Sixties, as well as for following decades, the subject of space is significant. Unlike in the other Eastern European countries, the situation in Slovakia was specific because the subject has profoundly affected not only mass culture, but also the sphere of a progressive (and, therefore, non-official) visual art. The goal of the paper is to compare the artworks of two important representatives of the Slovak neo-avant-garde, let us say the part of their work which is connected to the subject of space and related topics (such as cosmonautics, extraterrestrials, etc). The two artists in question are Stanislav Filko (1937) and Július Koller (1939–2007). Although Filko and Koller are diametrically different in many aspects, they represent good ‘comparative material,’ because apart from the subject of space there is another important feature that they have in common — an overall fusion of their artistic work and personal life.
Sputnik versus Apollo
Authors: Hornyik Sándor
Published: April 2016

In 1957, when the Soviet Union sent into orbit Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite in history, the Cold War stepped into a new phase; the Space Age began. In 1961 came another victory: the first man in space was also communist. In this regard, the Sixties were about the nuclear arms race that meant a scientific and technological competition as well. Then came Apollo 11, the spaceship and the lunar module, which proved unquestionably that the West had won this war. This paper discusses the Hungarian artistic reception of this scientific and technological war. Some artists served well the aims of the Eastern Bloc; others had their own political and aesthetic motivation. Some used the official visual culture; others tried to transform it. Describing the scientifically and technologically oriented visual arts (mainly painting) of the Long Sixties (1957–1973), I will focus mainly on one topic: aviation and military technology. Besides, I intend to deconstruct the apparently plausible narrative that claims that the early heroism (late Fifties) of the Soviet technological and military supremacy turned into a resigned acceptance of defeat in the early Seventies
Formas de dominação sobre o indígena na fronteira amazônica: Alto Solimões, de 1650 a 1910
Authors: Oliveira João Pacheco de
Published: April 2016

Via de regra, é muito secundária e limitada a função desempenhada pela investigação histórica em estudos etnológicos. Ao invés disso, procuro aproximar as duas disciplinas, mostrando a pluralidade de formas que o indígena assumiu ao longo da história do Amazonas. A singularidade do étnico deve aparecer, proponho, não como uma especificidade reificadora, mas como algo essencialmente variável e dinâmico, resultado de um processo constitutivo de adaptação face a distintos tipos de meio ambiente social e natural. Em minha pesquisa etnográfica com os Ticunas, sempre eles aparecem referidos a situações históricas concretas e distintas, nas quais crenças, costumes e princípios organizativos existem interligados e articulados com determinações e projetos da sociedade nacional.
Expansão da fronteira, megaprojetos de infraestrutura e integração sul-americana
Authors: Castro Edna
Published: April 2016

As análises da relação entre políticas desenvolvimentistas e as dinâmicas socioterritoriais na Amazônia têm se voltado para a dimensão nacional. Este artigo procura revelar o aumento do interesse pela exploração dos recursos naturais da região para além de suas fronteiras políticas, tornando-se a Pan-Amazônia um espaco central na geopolítica brasileira. Os Planos de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC I e II) e a Iniciativa para a Integração da Infraestrutura da América do Sul (IIRSA) assumem a mesma orientação de integração competitiva, adotando um modelo de modernização com base em megaprojetos de investimentos. A IIRSA, no âmbito sul-americano, como bloco regional, e o PAC, em âmbito nacional, são programas voltados para a logística de transporte, energia e comunicação. No plano continental, expressam dinâmicas socioterritoriais irreverersíveis e representam interesses comuns do Brasil e dos demais países, via modelo dominante de expansão da fronteira amazônica a partir dos anos 70 do século XX.
Jardins do Éden: Salvador, uma cidade global-dual
Authors: Ivo Any Brito Leal
Published: April 2016

Este artigo analisa a tendência de fragmentação das cidades, a partir da expansão de condomínios fechados e fortificados, como 'simulacros' que desafiam as políticas da cidade e o padrão de cidadania civil das cidades contemporâneas. O texto resgata três vetores de estruturação urbana contemporânea (condomínios fechados, a gentrificação e a verticalização das favelas), observando como as estratégias de marketing mobilizam dispositivos de segurança e de distinção de classes, o que determina normas seletivas de convívio entre iguais, no espaço privado, reforçando a via coercitiva e privada da ordem pública, como encaminhamento para a crise nas cidades contemporâneas. Com base no exame da forma arquitetônica de "comunidades fechadas', plasticamente importada, e das estratégias simbólicas e de comunicação mobilizadas pelos empreendimentos imobiliários em Salvador, o artigo demonstra a negação da cidade como espaço público de convívio, um reflexo das soluções privadas para a crise das cidades contemporâneas, no contexto da globalização.

Introdução: Tetralogia de Fallot compõe o grupo de cardiopatias cianogênicas definida pela existência de quatro defeitos, entre eles, a comunicação interventricular, estenose pulmonar, dextroposição da aorta e hipertrofia do ventrículo direito. Trata-se de uma doença frequente, cuja conduta terapêutica é variável, mostrando bons resultados após correção cirúrgica total. Objetivo: Avaliar a evolução clínica de crianças internadas em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Cardiológica Pediátrica após correção total de Tetralogia de Fallot. Casuística e Métodos: Estudo descritivo com análise quantitativa de pacientes menores de 18 anos de idade, submetidos à cirurgia corretiva de Tetralogia de Fallot, em hospital terciário de São José do Rio Preto, no período de 01 de janeiro de 2011 a 31 de dezembro de 2013. Resultados: Dos 30 pacientes operados no período, 70% (21) apresentaram em seu diagnóstico Tetralogia de Fallot associada a outras doenças cardíacas, sendo a mais frequente a Tetralogia de Fallot com estenose/hipoplasia da valva pulmonar, 66,67% (20) evoluíram com algum tipo de complicação, 26,67% (8) foram a óbito e 63,33% (19) se encontram em bom estado geral e assintomáticos após 30 dias da cirurgia. Conclusão: Apesar do alto índice de complicações e número de mortalidade preocupante, o que se deve à complexidade da doença e perfil da população, o estudo revela que a maioria das crianças submetidas à cirurgia corretiva de Tetralogia de Fallot apresentou prognóstico favorável. Este resultado se deve aos serviços que dispõem de excelentes métodos de diagnóstico e equipe multiprofissional devidamente treinada para a técnica cirúrgica e manejo durante o pós-operatório. O conhecimento do perfil desses pacientes pela equipe multiprofissional e em especial pela enfermagem oportuniza uma abordagem diferenciada e normatizada, o que pode ser determinante para uma intervenção bem sucedida.
A Networked Landscape: Meaningful Places Along the Niob and MNRR
Authors: Bethke Brandi
Published: April 2016

This article presents the results of an ethnographic survey of land utilization in the Niobrara National Scenic River (NIOB) and Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) districts completed for the National Park Service as part of their ongoing Ethnographic Program. It focuses particularly on the Ponca, Omaha, Yankton, and Santee Sioux tribes, each of whom have in the past and continue to maintain unique cultural ties to the riverways. The broad cultural landscape approach used in this study facilitates an exploration of connections between resources (both cultural and natural), significant places, archaeological sites, and landmarks within the districts. Here, I present a discussion of methods for conducting a cultural landscape survey through collaborative research between the National Park Service, university researchers, and Native American stakeholders in order to better understand diverse conceptions of the land and its resources.
Wanamei: An Intervention for and with the Small Gold Mining Communities in the Peruvian Amazon
Authors: Baudin Carole , Maillard Laura , Ruffiner Yohana
Published: April 2016

Illegal gold mining in the Amazon region of Peru causes a variety of damages to the environment, human health, and societal well-being. The people most directly affected—usually through gold production—are communities living in the region. In this context, we have been working with three regional mining communities to develop the Wanamei project, which aims to contribute to improving local working and living conditions. In the cosmology of native people of this region—the Amarakaeri—Wanamei means “the tree of life.” This title is representative of the philosophical approach of anthropotechnology, which insists on using local knowledge and practices to design sustainable solutions. Through this project, the authors discuss the vision and methods of this discipline and its contribution to the goal of finding sustainable solutions in extractive industries.
Drilling Information System (DIS) and Core Scanner
Authors: Conze Ronald
Published: April 2016

The Drilling Information System is a modular structure of databases, tailored user applications as well as web services and instruments including appropriate interfaces to DIS. This tool set has been developed for geoscientific drilling projects but is applicable to other distributed scientific operations. The main focuses are the data acquisition on drill sites (ExpeditionDIS), and the curation of sample material e.g., in core repositories (CurationDIS). Due to the heterogeneity of scientific drilling projects, a project-specific DIS is arranged and adjusted from a collection of existing templates and modules according to the user requirements during a one week training course. The collected data are provided to the Science Team of the drilling project by secured Web services, and stored in long-term archives hosted at GFZ. At the end the data sets and sample material are documented in an Operational Report (e.g., Lorenz et al., 2015) and published with assigned DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and IGSN (International Geo Sample Number; for physical samples) by GFZ Data Services.

Cancer Immunotherapy: A Review
Authors: Meiliana Anna , Dewi Nurrani Mustika , Wijaya Andi
Published: April 2016

BACKGROUND: The goals of treating patients with cancer are to cure the disease, prolong survival, and improve quality of life. Immune cells in the tumor microenvironment have an important role in regulating tumor progression. Therefore, stimulating immune reactions to tumors can be an attractive therapeutic and prevention strategy.CONTENT: During immune surveillance, the host provides defense against foreign antigens, while ensuring it limits activation against self antigens. By targeting surface antigens expressed on tumor cells, monoclonal antibodies have demonstrated efficacy as cancer therapeutics. Recent successful antibody-based strategies have focused on enhancing antitumor immune responses by targeting immune cells, irrespective of tumor antigens. The use of antibodies to block pathways inhibiting the endogenous immune response to cancer, known as checkpoint blockade therapy, has stirred up a great deal of excitement among scientists, physicians, and patients alike. Clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of antibodies that block the T cell inhibitory molecules cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) have reported success in treating subsets of patients. Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) is a highly personalized cancer therapy that involve administration to the cancer-bearing host of immune cells with direct anticancer activity. In addition, the ability to genetically engineer lymphocytes to express conventional T cell receptors or chimeric antigen receptors has further extended the successful application of ACT for cancer treatment.SUMMARY: For cancer treatment, 2011 marked the beginning of a new era. The underlying basis of cancer immunotherapy is to activate a patient’s own T cells so that they can kill their tumors. Reports of amazing recoveries abound, where patients remain cancer-free many years after receiving the therapy. The idea of harnessing immune cells to fight cancer is not new, but only recently have scientists amassed enough clinical data to demonstrate what a game-changer cancer immunotherapy can be. This field is no stranger to obstacles, so the future looks very promising indeed.KEYWORDS: immune checkpoint, adoptive cell transfer, neoantigen, monoclonal antibody

Published: April 2016

Due to higher market demand of buffalo milk paneer, lower price cow milk is often adulterated with higher cost buffalo milk for preparation of paneer. Till date no rapid technique is available in market to ensure that paneer is made from buffalo milk. Currently a PCR based method has been developed to authenticate the buffalo milk paneer. DNA was isolated from paneer by DNeasy Mericon food kit. A set of bovine specific primers (P1) targeting D-loop (displacement loop) of mt- DNA was selected and standardized to amplify cow DNA resulted 126bp amplicon. Using this PCR based approach even upto 1% level of cow milk adulteration in buffalo milk paneer could be detected.

Application of 30 kg S ha-1 showed marked improvement in growth and nodulation parameters in pea. Increasing dose of boron in the absence of sulphur up to 3kg ha-1 resulted marked improvement in growth and nodulation in garden pea. Higher values of plant height, number of branches plant-1, fresh weight plant-1 , dry weight plant-1, number of nodules plant-1, fresh weight of nodules plant-1ha- and dry weight of nodules plant -1 were noticed with combined application of 30 kg S + 2 kg B ha-1.
A Formula For The Units To Satisfy An Operation’s Desired Rate Of Return In CVP Analysis - A Conceptual Approach
Authors: Anderson Johann A. , Leese Wallace R.
Published: April 2016

A common formula presented in many managerial- and cost-accounting textbooks makes possible the determination of the quantity of units which must be produced and sold to generate a desired dollar-amount of operating income.  This article addresses the question “What formula can be used to determine the quantity of units needed to yield a desired operating-income level expressed as a rate of return on total operations-costs?”  Algebraic and conceptual issues regarding the derivation of such a formula are identified.  The desired formula is initially derived via a conceptual approach, which is verified with algebraic solutions afterward.  An example problem is given, followed by concluding remarks.
