Metabolismo y paisaje acuático en una ciudad en la industrialización: una evaluación cuantitativa del uso de los recursos y su relación con la transformación del paisaje acuático urbano en Viena del siglo XIX
Authors: Gierlinger Sylvia , Hauer Friedrich , Pollack Gudrun , Krausmann Fridolin
Published: February 2017

En este trabajo tomamos la perspectiva del metabolismo urbano para investigar la transformación del paisaje acuático de Viena. Mostramos cómo el metabolismo de la ciudad se entrelaza profundamente con el paisaje acuático y cómo esta relación cambió durante la industrialización. El eje metodológico de esta investigación parte de una evaluación cuantitativa del uso de los recursos urbanos utilizando métodos de contabilidad de flujos metabólicos. Se presentan los datos sobre la entrada de energía (1800 a 1914), materiales (1830-1874) y agua (1860 a 1910), así como los flujos de las aguas residuales de los hogares (1800 y 1910). Se añade además una discusión crítica sobre las fuentes más importantes de esta investigación. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que en la transformación de una economía agraria a una sociedad industrial se afectó profundamente el paisaje acuático dentro de la ciudad y en sus alrededores. Funciones tradicionalmente desempeñadas por los ríos y arroyos, que van desde el transporte, el suministro de energía, el suministro de agua dulce o la descarga y limpieza de las aguas residuales fueron sustituidas por la oferta de nuevas tecnologías basadas en combustibles fósiles y en la separación de los materiales de los cuerpos de agua. Se detectaron cambios y presiones ecológicas en la calidad del agua, originando complejas intervenciones hidrológicas que alteraron profundamente el paisaje acuático y su papel en el funcionamiento urbano. Algunos legados de estas transformaciones todavía influyen hoy en día en el metabolismo de la ciudad.

Background: Major change in the practice of obstetrics over the past century is progressive increase in the frequency of caesarean delivery and recent scientific information show improved survival or decreased morbidity for the neonate when caesarean delivery is performed for extreme prematurity. This study was done to determine the caesarean section rate for sections done between 20 and 28 weeks of gestation and to analyze the indications for such sections.Methods: Institutional based retrospective observational study done in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department, Cheluvamba Hospital, MMC&RI, Mysore, Karnataka, India. Caesarean sections done over 5 years from January 1st 2010 till December 31st 2014 are considered for the study. The total number of Caesarean sections done for gestational age between 20 and 28 weeks are noted. The data obtained is analyzed for the indications at the respective gestational ages.Results: Frequency of caesarean section at gestational age between 20 and 28 weeks is seen to be <1%. Out of total 15,906 LSCS cases, 97 (0.6%) patients under went caesarean section between 20 and 28 weeks of gestation. Of the 97 cases, 54 cases (55.67%) were operated at 28 weeks, 17 cases (17.52%) at 26 weeks, 20 cases (20.61%) at 24 weeks, 4 cases (4.12%) at 22 weeks and 2 cases (2.06%) at 20 weeks of gestation. APH in 33 (34.0%), pre-ecclampsia and ecclampsia in 30 (30.9%) cases are found to be the indications for delivery in 61 cases (64.9%). The indications for caesarean sections in 44 (45.3%) cases were previous caesarean section associated with or without pre-ecclampsia and APH as contributory factors.Conclusions: Caesarean section rate for gestational age between 20 and 28 weeks’ gestational age is <1% and there is decreasing trend. Previous caesarean section, APH, ecclampsia and pre-ecclampsia with their complications are the common indications for such sections. The decision to perform first caesarean section and the indication for it is of prime importance.

Published: February 2017

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly prevalent yet underestimated disorder among men, associated with a significant burden of illness. The understanding of pathophysiological factors has led to better assessment of the disease yet a lot of patients are left dissatisfied and undertreated. The study was undertaken to elicit the various life style and psychological variables associated with ED.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on cases of ED reporting in urology OPD in 3 months period. A pretested semi structured questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. ED was addressed in five domains using International index of erectile function (IIEF) scale. Information collected included socio demographic factors, life style variables and psychological factors [perceived stress (PT), self-esteem (SST) and erectile performance anxiety (ET)]. Data collected was analyzed using independent sample t test.Results: A total of 155 cases of ED participated in the study. Their mean age was 33.93±5.05 years (range 25-48).  80.6% were non-smokers, 54.8% were alcoholic and 22.6% patients performed light physical activity. There was no statistically significant association between different life style variables with five domains of International index of erectile function except for the domain of orgasmic function with consumption of drugs (p=0.017) and intercourse satisfaction with physical activity(p=0.045). Barring the domain of overall satisfaction most of the other domains of ED showed a significant association with psychological variables.Conclusions: Contrary to lifestyle factors, psychological factors are significantly related to ED and need to be addressed effectively for improving patient treatment outcome.

Authors: K. Venkatesha B. , B. S. Yogeesha , M. Asha
Published: February 2017

Background: Tonsils undergo hypertrophy due to recurrent infection or as a part of generalized lymphoid hypertrophy. There is a good correlation between clinical tonsil grade and objective tonsil volume in adult snorers and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.Relationship between clinical grading, oropharyngeal tonsil volume and total tonsil volume has been investigated in OSA patients but a very few in recurrent tonsillitis patients.

Methods: A total of 50 tonsillectomy specimens from 25 patients who underwent tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis were evaluated for tonsil volume oropharyngeal volume. These volumes were evaluated by a mathematical formula. Total volume, oropharyngeal and tonsillar volume were correlated with clinical grading of the tonsil. Also neck circumference, body mass index was assessed and correlation with clinical grading was found out with spearman correlation coefficient.  

Results: A spearman’s correlation was used to determine the relationship between 50 tonsillectomy specimens for total volume and clinical grading. There was a moderate positive monotonic correlation between total tonsil volume and clinical grading (rs =0.407, n =50, p <0.01, Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level 2-tailed) and there was a mild positive monotonic correlation between intraoral tonsil volume and clinical grading (rs =0.351, n =50, p <0.05 Correlation was significant at the 0.05 level 2-tailed).

Conclusions: Total tonsil volume and oropharyngeal volume correlates well with clinical grading of the tonsil. BMI and neck circumference does not correlate with the clinical grading of the tonsil.

Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho caracterizar a fitossociologia de um fragmento de floresta nativa no município de Caroebe/RR, Brasil. Foram inventariadas todas as árvores com DAP ≥ 15 cm, em 18 parcelas permanentes de 15 x 20 m (300 m²). Foram identificados 175 indivíduos, distribuídos em 17 famílias botânicas, 37 gêneros e 45 espécies. Os gêneros com maior riqueza florística foram Protium, Vantanea e Couratari. Entre as famílias, Fabaceae e Lecythidaceae foram as que apresentaram maior diversidade de espécies. As espécies de maior valor de importância foram Dinizia excelsa (7,49%), Protium heptaphylum (7,41%) e Zigia racemosa (7,40%). O Índice de Diversidade de Shannon (H’) foi 3,39, e a Uniformidade de Pielou (J) foi 0,89. O grupo ecológico clímax foi predominante, com 26,7% das espécies e 21,7% dos indivíduos. A diversidade da floresta é baixa, embora predominem famílias que também estão presentes na maioria das florestas amazônicas maduras. Algumas espécies que possuem madeira com alto valor comercial também estão presentes na área com alto valor de importância ecológica. A distribuição dos indivíduos em classes diamétricas sugere que a floresta, ainda que jovem e com alta dinâmica, já se encontra em equilíbrio. Portanto, a área estudada pode ser manejada para extração de produtos madeireiros ou não-madeireiros, com fins conservacionistas, obedecendo às suas características fitossociológicas discutidas no presente estudo e à Legislação Brasileira.

Published: February 2017

A programação linear é considerada uma das ferramentas básicas da pesquisa operacional, sendo baseada em uma função linear de variáveis, chamada de função objetivo. Assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho demonstrar a influência de diferentes funções objetivo e suas implicações nos modelos de regulação florestal e suas soluções. Para isso, foi utilizado o Modelo I de programação linear em um estudo de caso, no qual foram empregados dados de 10 florestas com estruturas inicias de povoamentos comumente encontrados no setor florestal. A sua solução foi obtida empregando o software RPF (Regulação da Produção Florestal), que foi utilizado também para simular diferentes cenários de manejo e planejamento. Utilizaram-se as seguintes funções objetivo: maximização da produção, maximização do valor presente líquido (VPL), minimização dos custos e minimização do custo médio de produção (CMP). Todos os métodos se mostraram viáveis e conseguiram regular as florestas. Os métodos de minimização foram mais eficientes na redução dos custos, tendo como consequência tanto a redução da área de corte anual e da produção anual quanto o aumento da idade de corte e da produtividade. Os métodos de maximização foram os mais dispendiosos, com maior produção e maior área de corte anual, menor idade de corte e menor produtividade.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho verificar a influência do teor de água e da temperatura de secagem na coloração dos frutos de baru (Dipteryx alata Vogel). O teor de água inicial foi de 0,333 base seca (b.s.) e os demais teores de água (0,25; 0,177; 0,111 e 0,053 b.s.) foram obtidos por secagem em estufa com ventilação forçada, mantida nas temperaturas de 60, 80 e 100 ºC. A avaliação da cor dos frutos de baru foi feita pela leitura direta de refletância das coordenadas “L”, “a” e “b”, empregando o calorímetro ColorFlex EZ com o sistema Hunter de cor. Com as coordenadas “L”, “a” e “b” foram determinadas e calculados os valores de croma (Cr), ângulo de cor hue (°h) e a diferença total de cor (∆E). Para viabilizar o uso de um único modelo linear para a representação do croma (Cr) e das coordenada “L” e “b” dos frutos de baru, independentemente da temperatura de secagem, procedeu-se o teste de identidade de modelos. Com base nos dos resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que a coordenada “L” e a diferença total de cor (∆E) aumentaram com a redução do teor de água, enquanto os valores do croma (Cr), ângulo hue (°h) e as coordenadas “a” e “b” se reduziram, provocando alteração na coloração dos frutos de baru, independentemente da temperatura de secagem.

Límites a los derechos de obtención vegetal en la Ley Federal de Variedades Vegetales de México
Authors: Arcudia Hernández Carlos Ernesto
Published: February 2017

Uno de los grandes cambios durante el proceso de transformación en el modelo de desarrollo de la agricultura en México iniciado en los años ochenta fue la adopción del régimen de propiedad industrial en variedades vegetales. En virtud de un compromiso adquirido por México en el Tratado de Libre Comercio para América del Norte (TLCAN) se promulgó la Ley Federal de Variedades Vegetales (LFVV) para otorgar derechos de obtención vegetal. La LFVV traspone al derecho nacional una legislación armonizada con el Convenio Internacional para la Protección de Obtenciones Vegetales (CUPOV). La regulación de los límites de los derechos del obtentor es importante en vista de la estructura dicotómica de la agricultura en México. Por ende, se analizan los actos excluidos de la protección, las lagunas legales en cuanto a agotamiento y la ausencia de límites por interés público, y las licencias obligatorias.

Can We Detect Polygenic Selection on Cognitive Ability Using GWAS Hits? Employing Random SNPs as a Null Model.
Authors: Piffer Davide
Published: February 2017

Background: The genetic variants identified by three large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of educational attainment were used to test a polygenic selection model.ethods: Average frequencies of alleles with positive effect (polygenic scores or PS) were compared across populations (N=26) using data from 1000 Genomes. A null model was created using frequencies of random SNPs.Results: Polygenic selection signal of educational attainment GWAS hits is high among a handful of SNPs within genomic regions replicated across GWAS publications. A polygenic score comprising 9 SNPs predicts population IQ (r=0.9), outperforming 99.9% of the polygenic scores obtained from sets of random SNPs. Its predictive power remains unaffected after controlling for spatial autocorrelation. Even random polygenic scores are moderate predictors of population IQ (thanks to spatial autocorrelation), and their predictive power increases logarithmically with the number of SNPs, indicating an exponential reduction in noise. Conclusion: This study provides guidance for using GWAS hits together with random SNPs for testing polygenic selection.
Crucial Mechanism to the Eutectoid Transformation of Wüstite Scale on Low Carbon Steel
Authors: Lin Szu-Ning , Huang Chao-Chi , Wu Min-Tao , Wang Wei-Lin , Hsieh Ker-Chang
Published: February 2017

It is important to realize the transformation behavior of wüstite because it greatly affects the final structure of the oxide layer and the surface quality of the steel products. In the present study, the transformation behaviors of the wüstite layer are examined under nearly-oxygen-free conditions, to simulate the cooling processes after the hot rolled strip is coiled. As the single phase wüstite was prepared at 950˚C, the 460˚C transformed oxide layer was composed of a mixture of iron and magnetite formed through eutectoid reactions. For the 750˚C-fabricated wüstite, only magnetite was observed after transformation, without iron precipitates and residual wüstite. It is speculated that the unusual transformation behavior of the low-temperature-made wüstite results from the pseudo-structural intermediate phase transformation between wüstite and magnetite. This pseudo-structure is a pre-transformed wüstite and of various concentration of ferrous ion, which is determined by the fabrication conditions. During the hot strip mill process, the so-called wet scale, wüstite, is produced continuously from finish mill to laminar flow sections and ended at 570˚C. Consequently, the final eutectoid transformation below 570˚C is dominantly controlled by the surface temperature ranged from 750˚C to 950˚C for low carbon steel.
A New Deep Learning Model for Fault Diagnosis with Good Anti-Noise and Domain Adaptation Ability on Raw Vibration Signal
Authors: Zhang Wei , Peng Gaoliang , Li Chuanhao , Chen Yuanhang , Zhang Zhujun
Published: February 2017

Intelligent fault diagnosis techniques have replaced the time-consuming and unreliable human analysis, increasing the efficiency of fault diagnosis. Deep learning model can improve the accuracy of intelligent fault diagnosis with the help of its multilayer nonlinear mapping ability. This paper has proposed a novel method named Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Wide First-layer Kernels (WDCNN). The proposed method uses raw vibration signals as input (data augmentation is used to generate more inputs), and uses the wide kernels in first convolutional layer for extracting feature and suppressing high frequency noise. Small convolutional kernels in the preceding layers are used for multilayer nonlinear mapping. AdaBN is implemented to improve the domain adaptation ability of the model. The proposed model addresses the problem that currently, the accuracy of CNN applied to fault diagnosis is not very high. WDCNN can not only achieve 100% classification accuracy on normal signals, but also outperform state of the art DNN model which is based on frequency features under different working load and noisy environment.

Parallel to the achievement of the Takaful industry, agency system becomes the main medium utilised by the industry to educate the public and assist them about future financial preparation. As a mirror to an Islamic type of insurance, Takaful agents play significant role not only to sell the Takaful products, but also to behave according to the Islamic norms in front of their customers. Thus, this research is conducted to introduce new concept of Islamic relationship marketing (IRM) and investigates its significance towards customer gratitude, trust, and commitment in the industry. A total of 741 of Family Takaful customers in Klang Valley area have participated in the survey conducted in this study. Few statistical analyses were performed to confirm the proposed measures of IRM including descriptive, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), measurement model, and structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis. Through EFA and measurement model, four variables were confirmed to measure the IRM which are Islamic ethical behaviour, social, structural, and financial bonds. Furthermore, these measures of IRM have significantly affected customer gratitude, trust, and commitment via SEM analysis. This study serves as a starting point to promote new approach of marketing in the Takaful industry based on the Islamic norms. It basically aims to tackle the needs of Takaful participants which should be taken care by the Takaful agents as to ensure both of these parties receive benefits in the Takaful contract.

Abstrak: Praktik penyelenggaraan SMK di Indonesia saat ini menunjukkan kelemahan-kelemahan sebagai berikut: menyelenggarakan fungsi tunggal, yaitu menyiapkan siswa untuk bekerja, untuk menjadi karyawan, dan kurang menyiapkan untuk menjadi wirausahawan, kurang cepat tanggap terhadap tuntutan-tuntutan pembangunan ekonomi, lemah keselarasannya dengan dunia kerja, dan tidak ada jaminan untuk memperoleh pekerjaan yang layak. Tekanan-tekanan dan faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap SMK sangat banyak, tetapi beberapa hal berikut harus segera ditanggapi, yaitu rencana pembangunan jangka panjang nasional, cetak biru insan Indonesia cerdas dan kompetitif 2025, master plan percepatan dan perluasan pembangunan ekonomi Indonesia, keanekaragaman kebutuhan masyarakat, kemajuan teknologi, dan tuntutan globalisasi. Agar SMK dapat memainkan peran lebih penting dalam pembangunan ekonomi, SMK harus memperluas fungsinya dari fungsi tunggal menjadi SMK Model yang menyelenggarakan fungsi majemuk yang selaras dengan kemajemukan kebutuhan masyarakat. Transisi dari SMK fungsi tunggal menjadi SMK Model (fungsi majemuk) memerlukan restrukturisasi dalam kebijakan, perencanaan, penganggaran, kelembagaan, dan sumber daya. Kata Kunci : kelemahan SMK, tekanan dan faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap SMK, fungsi tunggal, SMK Model, fungsi majemuk DEVELOPING VOCATIONAL SCHOOL MODEL FOR THE FUTURE Abstract: The current practices of vocational schools in Indonesia mostly show the following weaknesses: offering single function of preparing students for gainful employment, preparing students to become employees and lack of entrepreneurship preparation, slow response to economic development, weak link and match with the world of work, and no guaranttee for graduates to get decent work. The external forces and factors influencing vocational schools are numerous but the followings must be urgently responded: national long range development plan, blue print for national education long range development plan, master plan for accelerating and enlarging national economic development of Indonesia, diversity of society needs particularly the world of work, technological development, and globalization. In order vocational schools to be able to play more important roles in Indonesian economic development, they have to enlarge their functions from solely single function to vocational school model having multiple functions of serving diverse needs of society. The transition from single function to multiple functions requires restructuring policy, planning, budgeting, institutions, and resources required to run vocational school model.

Cognitive Testing in Patients with CKD: The Problem of Missing Cases
Authors: Neumann Denise , Robinski Maxi , Mau Wilfried , Girndt Matthias
Published: February 2017

Background and objectives

Cognitive testing is only valid in individuals with sufficient visual and motor skills and motivation to participate. Patients on dialysis usually suffer from limitations, such as impaired vision, motor difficulties, and depression. Hence, it is doubtful that the true value of cognitive functioning can be measured without bias. Consequently, many patients are excluded from cognitive testing. We focused on reasons for exclusion and analyzed characteristics of nontestable patients.

Design, setting, participants & measurements

Within the Choice of Renal Replacement Therapy Project (baseline survey: May 2014 to May 2015), n=767 patients on peritoneal dialysis (n=240) or hemodialysis (n=527) were tested with the Trail Making Test-B and the German d2-Revision Test and completed the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form cognition subscale. We divided the sample into patients with missing cognitive testing data and patients with full cognitive testing data, analyzed reasons for nonfeasibility, and compared subsamples with regard to psychosocial and physical metrics. The exclusion categories were linked to patient characteristics potentially associated with missing data (age, comorbidity, depression, and education level) by calculation of λ-coefficient.

Results

The subsamples consisted of n=366 (48%) patients with missing data (peritoneal dialysis =62, hemodialysis =304) and n=401 patients with full cognitive testing data (peritoneal dialysis =178, hemodialysis =223). Patients were excluded due to visual impairment (49%), lack of motivation (31%), and motor impairment (13%). The remaining 8% did not follow instructions, suffered from medical incidents, or had language difficulties. Compared with patients with full cognitive testing data, they were more likely to have depression; be treated with hemodialysis; be older, nonworking, or more comorbid; and experience poorer shared decision making. Reasons for exclusion were not related to levels of age, comorbidity score, depression score, or education level.

Conclusions

We excluded almost one half of eligible patients from cognitive testing due to visual, motivational, or motor difficulties. Our findings are consistent with exclusion categories reported from the literature. We should be aware that, because of disease-related limitations, conclusions about cognitive functioning in the CKD population may be biased. In the future, nonvisual and nonverbal cognitive testing can be a valuable resource.
Razão e Educação Política: Crítica de um Fragmento da Ideologia Liberal
Authors: Bannell Ralph Ings
Published: February 2017

Esse artigo desenvolve uma análise crítica da teoria do liberalismo político de John Rawls, argumentando que acaba legitimando a organização político e econômico liberal, portanto sendo um fragmento da ideologia liberal. Tenta explorar a tensão entre, de um lado, a defesa que Rawls faz do liberalismo com uma forma política historicamente constituída e, de outro lado, sua tentativa de vincular a própria razoabilidade, um “poder moral” do cidadão, com o liberalismo, portanto sugerindo que o liberalismo seja a única forma racional da política. Analisa o papel que Rawls dá à filosofia política, seu construtivismo político, suas concepções da sociedade e da pessoa, bem como sua análise do julgamento político e razão pública. Termina com algumas reflexões sobre o papel da teoria de Rawls na educação política.
Saberes em legitimação na formação de professores: diálogos entre universidade e escola
Authors: Barbosa Aparecida Maria Cantarino , Freitas Cláudia Avellar
Published: February 2017

Este artigo descreve a trajetória e alguns resultados do estabelecimento de um grupo de formação de professores no âmbito do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência, entrelaçada a reflexões sobre a formação docente que se realiza no espaço constituído entre a universidade e a escola básica. Ele foi escrito com base na experiência de participação em uma mesa-redonda que teve como objetivo promover um debate sobre as diferentes formas de interação da escola com a universidade no processo de formação inicial e continuada de professores. A partir das palestras nesta mesa, de discursos críticos sobre a formação e o trabalho docente e das pesquisas de Tardif sobre os saberes docentes, constrói-se um posicionamento a favor da valorização dos saberes experienciais nos currículos dos cursos de licenciatura e a favor da legitimação da prática dos(as) professores (as) da escola básica como base do conhecimento que é imprescindível à formação inicial docente. Para exemplificar formas de valorizar o trabalho dos(as) professores(as) da escola básica apresentamos alguns de nossos trabalhos desenvolvidos no âmbito do PIBID e concluímos afirmando que temos consciência de que há problemas na formação de professores cujo enfrentamento é perene, uma vez que a formação de um(a) professor(a) é um processo sem fim.
