Contos tradicionais e as crianças: diálogos entre Portugal e Brasil
Authors: Brandão Claudia Leite , Balça Ângela
Published: October 2019

O conto tradicional é marcado por características da narratividade e, por nascer da oralidade, é considerado um gênero importante que proporciona a leitores e ouvintes a inserção no mundo da literatura. Ademais, integra a cultura e o imaginário das pessoas, acompanhando-as ao longo do tempo. Pretende-se atribuir visibilidade ao gênero, com o objetivo de refletir acerca desse patrimônio cultural, por meio de análise do conto Caldo de pedra, na versão portuguesa, recolhida por Teófilo Braga, no século 19, e ainda na releitura em português de Portugal, escrita por Alice Vieira (2018) e ilustrada por Vanda Romão. Lançar-se-ão olhares, também,  sobre a versão em português do Brasil, escrita por Ana Maria Machado (2004) e ilustrada por Odilon Moraes. Desse modo, importa reiterar que, para a seleção do conto, considera-se como mote Teófilo Braga, em sua obra Contos tradicionais do povo português. O procedimento metodológico baseia-se na revisão de literatura, com obras que versam sobre o tema referido. Norteia-se a construção deste artigo com base na concepção de que esse gênero atua, significativamente, na formação e ampliação do repertório da criança, seja leitora ou ouvinte.

PAPR Reduction and Data Security Improvement for OFDM Technique Using Chaos System
Authors: Abdullah Muntadher Kadhim , Ibada Ali Jawad
Published: October 2019

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the most popular multicarrier technique because it produces several advantages such as higher spectral efficiency, high transmission rate, robustness to fading channel and etc.. In this technique, the data is carrying by multiple orthogonal subcarriers. If all subcarriers  are adding together with the same phase, it will result high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Higher value of PAPR makes low power efficiency, several degradation of performance in the transmit power amplifier and increase the complexity of converters. It is important to decrease PAPR for avoid these problems. Another requirement of the modern communication system is the  security of transmission data. All these issues make strong motivation for building algorithm to improve performance and security of OFDM system. In this paper, a proposed algorithm is presented to both reduce PAPR and secure the OFDM signal by generating several Aperiodic PseudoRandom Binary Sequences (APRBSs) using chaos system. The proposed algorithm is scrambling the information by APRBSs, and one sequence is chosen for transmission which has smallest PAPR value. To inform receiver which sequence had been sent, a Side Information (SI) is enclosed with the transmitted sequence. Because SI very important at receiver, convolutional code with Viterbi-Soft Decision Decoding (V-SDD) is used to protect it against channel distortion. Simulation results state the proposed algorithm produces excellent PAPR reduction performance and approximately gives the same Bit Error Rate (BER) of the conventional OFDM system over AWGN and fading channels. In addition to get better performance, the proposed algorithm is providing a good data security due to chaos system. MATLAB program is used to build the proposed OFDM system and get the simulation results.

The agricultural impact of the 2015–2016 floods in Ireland as mapped through Sentinel 1 satellite imagery
Authors: O’Hara R. , Green S. , McCarthy T.
Published: October 2019

The capability of Sentinel 1 C-band (5 cm wavelength) synthetic aperture radio detection and ranging (RADAR) (abbreviated as SAR) for flood mapping is demonstrated, and this approach is used to map the extent of the extensive floods that occurred throughout the Republic of Ireland in the winter of 2015–2016. Thirty-three Sentinel 1 images were used to map the area and duration of floods over a 6-mo period from November 2015 to April 2016. Flood maps for 11 separate dates charted the development and persistence of floods nationally. The maximum flood extent during this period was estimated to be ~24,356 ha. The depth of rainfall influenced the magnitude of flood in the preceding 5 d and over more extended periods to a lesser degree. Reduced photosynthetic activity on farms affected by flooding was observed in Landsat 8 vegetation index difference images compared to the previous spring. The accuracy of the flood map was assessed against reports of flooding from affected farms, as well as other satellite-derived maps from Copernicus Emergency Management Service and Sentinel 2. Monte Carlo simulated elevation data (20 m resolution, 2.5 m root mean square error [RMSE]) were used to estimate the flood’s depth and volume. Although the modelled flood height showed a strong correlation with the measured river heights, differences of several metres were observed. Future mapping strategies are discussed, which include high–temporal-resolution soil moisture data, as part of an integrated multisensor approach to flood response over a range of spatial scales.
Elevated lactic acid during ketoacidosis: pathophysiology and management
Authors: Ahmed Hamda Houssein , De Bels David , Attou Rachid , Honore Patrick M. , Redant Sebastien
Published: October 2019

Lactic acidosis results from an acid-base balance disorder of the body due to an excess of lactic acid. It is frequently found in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care. The most common cause is type A, found in pathologies such as cardiogenic, septic and hypovolemic shock, trauma and severe hypoxemia. The type B is less common and arises without evidence of tissue hypoperfusion or shock. Divers etiologies have been described for this type of hyperlactatemia: Grand Mal seizures, liver failure, hematologic malignancies, congenital enzyme deficiencies, thiamine deficiencies and diabetes mellitus and also alcohol abuse, which may induce a lactic acid under-use or an increased production. The authors describe a rare complication of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), leading to a major and persistent expression of a type B lactic acidosis during ketoacidosis.

Published: October 2019

The objective of this study is to contribute knowledge about formation of political agendas on Twitter during mediated political events, using the party leaders’ debates in Sweden before the general election of 2014 as a case study. Our findings show that issues brought up during the debates were largely mirrored on Twitter, with one striking discrepancy. Contrary to our expectations, issues on the left-right policy dimension were more salient on Twitter than in the debates, whereas issues such as the environment, immigration and refugees, all tied to a liberal-authoritarian value axis, were less salient on Twitter.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis in a teenager
Authors: Salmen Teodor , Strâmbu Irina
Published: October 2019

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease (ILD), consequence of an alveolar allergic reaction against various inhaled allergens occurring in susceptible individuals, manifesting as an acute or chronic granulomatous alveolar allergic process against inflammation of the lung parenchyma. The clinical presentation can mimic acute respiratory infections (in acute form) or an idiopathic ILD (in chronic form); the diagnosis of HP is difficult if the exposure to allergen is not suspected.

We present the case of a male teenager, pigeon breeder, presenting with recurrent episodes of dyspnoea and fever, initially considered and treated as pneumonia. The diagnosis of HP was based on suggestive imaging changes, lymphocytic alveolitis at bronchoalveolar lavage with a low CD4/CD8 ratio and a thorough anamnesis for exposure and positive IgG serum precipitins against pigeon debris. The patient improved over a few months only by avoiding exposure to the incriminated allergen. ILDs in children and adolescents are considered rare diseases, with HP being one of the possible causes in older children and adolescents.

Published: October 2019

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours represent a rare group of lesions reported in various organs but with an unclear aetiology. Although so far they are considered benign, some cases of recurrence and invasive behaviour have been noted. We report three consecutive cases of tumours of the lung, with heterogeneous clinical presentation. They were all treated by means of surgery, with good long-term results. Diagnosing an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour relies mainly on an experienced pathologist.

Published: October 2019

Heart failure (HF) remains a major public health issue despite advances in treatment, being associated with increased morbidity and mortality, multiple hospitalization and, implicitly, very high economic costs. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to identify and treat factors or comorbidities that contribute to the progression of HF. Breathing disorders during sleep (sleep-disordered breathing), especially sleep apnea syndrome, obstructive or central form, may be one of these factors.

Authors: Hozer Józef , Gnat Sebastian , Kokot Sebastian , Kuźmiński Wojciech
Published: October 2019

One of the key determinants of the quality of real estate mass appraisal is the algorithm used for conducting such an appraisal. Other determinants include detailed methodological and substantive solutions within the scope of a selected, applied algorithm. This article is dedicated to one of the major stages of the process of land real estate mass appraisal with the use of the Szczecin Algorithm of Real Estate Mass Appraisal (SAREMA), namely defining and determining the so-called elementary terrains. The paper aims to present the methods for designating the boundaries of elementary terrains, the manner of defining their number and size and, consequently, the number of real properties that will be covered by an automated process of mass appraisal in a given area.

Ways of defining the boundaries of elementary terrains were proposed in the paper based on the existing surveying districts, zoning plans, background maps, thematic map layers, real estate market analyses as well as statistical methods.

Elementary terrain boundaries thus designated were verified with the use of actual real estate resources of the city of Szczecin.

Published: October 2019

Prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients and patients with one or two own teeth can be established by different treatment modalities. The most commonly used in the treatment of these patients is conventional complete denture or removable partial denture. However, due to increasing problems with this type of therapy, such as insufficient retention, stability, comfort and pain during mastication, it is suggested an overdenture supported by two natural teeth or implants. We will present series of clinical reports. In two clinical cases patients came to the dental office because of the impossibility of wearing lower partial denture, and in one case patient had problems with the upper partial denture. After clinical examination and radigraphic analysis, in all patients, dental implants were implanted. In first case there were implanted two dental implants in the region 41 and 43, in second case it was region 33, and in third case implanatiton is performed in the region of 14, 11, 21. Prosthetic rehabilitation was done after 3-months bone oseointegration period. The treatment consisted in the production of double crowns and overdentures that are retained with locator attachment. This design of the denture significantly improves the quality of patient’s life (the dentures are stable, chewing is improved, the feeling of thermal sensations of food and drink is present, the feeling of taste is complete, and the psychological patient becomes safer).

Published: October 2019

La falta de cumplimiento por parte del paciente de un programa de rehabilitación se refleja en la pérdida de logros obtenidos, lo cual hace necesario conoce los factores que pueden llevar a pérdida de continuidad del tratamiento. Los objetivos son determinar los factores que intervienen en la adherencia de los pacientes a un programa de rehabilitación integral, describir y analizar las razones planteadas por los pacientes cuando fallan en el cumplimiento de las recomendaciones en un programa de rehabilitación integral. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio cualitativo de tipo análisis paradigmático con codificación axial, basado en siete grupos focales que incluían terapeutas, pacientes, familiares de pacientes adultos, de pacientes niños y de pacientes adolescentes. Resultados: se encontró que familiares y pacientes coinciden en que la falta de tiempo y el cansancio son las principales dificultades para desarrollar las actividades propuestas por los terapeutas. En cuanto a los terapeutas, hay diferencias en los conceptos sobre adherencia ya que en algunos casos las definiciones se acercan más al cumplimiento y la obediencia que a una participación activa del paciente en su proceso. Conclusiones: un programa que pretenda mejorar la adherencia en los pacientes debe tener un enfoque bio-psico-social. Conocer las condiciones que se asocian a una mayor o menor adherencia permite mejorar la efectividad de las intervenciones que implican colaboración y seguimiento instruccional por parte del paciente y eliminar las dificultades que puedan depender del equipo terapéutico, del diseño del programa de rehabilitación o de la institución propiamente dicha.

Gudit, a Jewish Queen of Aksum? Some Considerations on the Sources and Modern Scholarship, and the Use of Legends
Authors: Steyn Raita
Published: October 2019

Ethiopian and non-Ethiopian sources agree that there is evidence of a mysterious queen who led an army to destroy the Christian faith in Aksum and put an end to the Aksumite dynasty. The events of Aksum are mentioned in chronicles and on monuments left behind. The latest research shows that there is no longer any doubt about her existence: she was indeed an empress of Aksum. This article re-examines modern scholarship on Gudit’s life, religion, and importance. It also presents a new interpretation and analysis of the most important legends, thereby suggesting how such legends can be integrated into the historical events.

Published: October 2019

Background:

There are limited data on multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in underserved groups, including Puerto Rico. In this study, we analyzed the characteristic of MS symptoms and number of relapses in Puerto Rican patients. We then compare these characteristics with MS patients from the US. The number of MS relapses is highly correlated with the treatment onset and adherence. Patients in Puerto Rico have been experiencing lengthy treatment delay. We will discuss the possible causes of such delay and its impact on MS prognosis.

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study consisted of the evaluation of 325 medical records from MS patients attending the Caribbean Neurological Center from 2014 to 2019. We gathered symptoms and comorbidities data as binary objects. The treatment delay was calculated based on the mean value of days between diagnosis and treatment onset for these groups of patients.

Results:

We found that on average, the treatment delay for MS patients in Puerto Rico (PR) to receive their medication was 120 days. The most common MS subtype was relapsing-remitting 72.8%, with a mean of 1.684 relapses per year. Initial symptoms were sensory 54%, visual 33.1%, motor 28.8%, coordination 23.2%, fatigue 9.7%, memory 7.3%, depression 6.5%, urinary 4.9%, gastrointestinal 2.4%, and sexual dysfunction 1.6%. The most common comorbidities were hypertension 18.4%, asthma 13.6%, and thyroid disease 12.8%. When we compared the comorbidities between the two populations, immune thrombocytopenia had the highest percent change with the value of almost 200% (0.001% of US patient vs. 0.8% of Puerto Rican MS patients).

Conclusion:

Patients from Puerto Rico had a 33% higher relapse rate compared to the one reported for MS patients in the US. This higher rate may be related to the long delay in receiving their medications. They also had a higher rate of complex comorbidities such as immune thrombocytopenia or thyroid disease. Our findings provide a proof of concept that delay in receiving medications can increase the number of relapses and complex comorbidities among MS patients.
Steady-State Kinetics of the Autocatalytic Zymogen Activation: A Comparison with the Michaelis-Menten Reaction Mechanism
Authors: Tyczynska Malgorzata , Eilertsen Justin , Schnell Santiago
Published: October 2019

A zymogen is an inactive precursor of an enzyme, which needs to go through a chemical change to become an active enzyme. The general intermolecular mechanism for the autocatalytic activation of zymogens is governed by the single-enzyme, single-substrate catalyzed reaction following the Michaelis-Menten mechanism of enzyme action, where the substrate is the zymogen and product is the same enzyme catalyzing the reaction. In this article we investigate the nonlinear chemical dynamics of the intermolecular autocatalytic zymogen activation reaction mechanism, and compare it to that of the Michaelis-Menten reaction mechanism. We show that the intermolecular autocatalytic zymogen activation exhibits significant changes in reaction dynamics relative to the Michaelis-Menten reaction mechanism. These changes include differences in the number of conservation laws, number and stability of equilibrium states, altered structure of the invariant set that influences the long-time rate of the reaction, and qualitative evolution of the reaction depending strictly on the choice of initial conditions. We find a rate law, homologous to the Michaelis-Menten equation, to estimate the kinetic parameters of the intermolecular autocatalytic zymogen activation reaction mechanism, and derive the conditions for the validity for this rate law. Finally, we derive analytical expressions to estimate the timescale for the completion of the zymogen activation, which could have a practical application to calculate the molar enthalpy of the autocatalytic zymogen reaction in calorimetry assays.

A practical Jointed Approach to Functionally Graded Structures by Differential Transform Method
Authors: KELES İbrahim , ERTURK Vedat Suat
Published: October 2019

In this study, a practical jointed approach in the static vibration investigation of functionally graded material
(FGM) structures under internal pressure is applied by differential transform method (DTM). The FGM material
consist of isotropic material that show exponential variation in the thickness. The ratio of Poisson is taken
as a constant. Displacement and stress distributions due to non-homogeneous constant are intended. Stress
distribution dependent on the homogeneity parameter is computed and the results obtained for cylindrical
and spherical structures were compared with finite element method (FEM). The inhomogeneity parameter
is empirically regulated, with a continuously varying volume fraction of the constituents. The parameters for
homogeneity were randomly selected to show displacement and stress distributions.
AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES SOCIAIS COMO INSTRUMENTO DE FRAUDE AO PACTO FEDERATIVO
Authors: Zambitte Ibrahim Fábio , Carvalho Gomes Schwartz Gustavo
Published: October 2019

O modelo federativo brasileiro, criado pela Constituição de 1988, muito embora tenha buscado, com potencial sucesso, uma superação das tradições centralizadoras do passado, sofreu com mudanças variadas após o advento da atual Carta no sentido de priorizar as receitas federais. Seja por descompromisso com os ideais da federação, falta de espírito cooperativo ou mesmo desconfiança frente às lideranças locais, o certo é o modelo tem se mostrado ineficaz quanto aos objetivos da autonomia financeira dos entes federados. Um aspecto central dessa discussão é a avassaladora imposição de contribuições sociais, criadas e majoradas ao longo dos anos. Ao contrário do que possa parecer, não se trata de um compromisso do Estado Brasileiro para com a seguridade social, mas, basicamente, em um meio de incremento de receitas sem os encargos federativos, que impõem as divisões de receitas de forma direta ou indireta. Em suma, o crescimento da parafiscalidade no Brasil traduz a falência do nosso sistema federativo.
CHALLENGES TO LABOUR LAW
Authors: Däubler Wolfgang
Published: October 2019

The article deals with three main challenges to labour law referring especially to the German experience. The world-wide market induced enterprises to relocate their production and to reduce labour costs at home. In Germany, a quite indirect way of exercising pressure on the workers was developed; counter-measures were rare and did not really change the situation. TTIP and CETA will worsen the situation because national sovereignty in social and environmental questions will fade away. The second challenge comes from inequality existing among workers as well as in society as a whole. There is a scission between very wealthy people on one side and people becoming poorer and poorer on the other side. Labour law has not yet developed the instruments to realize more equality among workers but some ideas are discussed. The third challenge is the digitalisation of many activities; they are no more bound to certain places or certain times of the day. The “freedom” to work at any moment and at any place entails very long working hours, work at night and work on Sundays. Legal rules on working time lose more and more there importance. A solution can be the right of workers´ representatives to discuss the tasks given to individual workers, but other means are examined in the article, too. The internet makes crowdworking possible – a new form of work which is currently not covered by labour law.
SCIENCE ASSERVIE ET INVISIBILITÉ DES CANCERS PROFESSIONNELS: études de cas dans le secteur minier en France
Authors: Thébaud-Mony Annie
Published: October 2019

Depuis plus d’un siècle, l’évolution de la recherche en santé publique, en général, et les risques du travail, en particulier, est largement dominée par les besoins et stratégies des industriels. Ceux-ci interviennent, non seulement dans le financement des études menées, mais aussi dans la conception, les objectifs et les méthodologies de ces recherches, parvenant même à instaurer le doute là où la mise en danger est manifeste. Le travail minier fut, historiquement, dès le 19e siècle, l’un des premiers champs d’affrontements politiques et sociaux concernant les enjeux de la santé des travailleurs, tant en Amérique du Nord qu’en Europe ou sur les autres continents. Il le demeure, comme le démontre cet article à propos de l’invisibilité des cancers professionnels de mineurs ayant travaillé dans deux sites miniers français du sud de la France. S’appuyant sur les enquêtes pluridisciplinaires menées par son équipe de recherche en sciences sociales et celles de chercheurs en sciences de la vie, l’auteure s’attache à montrer comment les pratiques d’expertise et de santé publique sont mobilisées, non pas pour la prévention et la réparation des cancers professionnels, mais plutôt dans un processus continu de mise en doute des savoirs qui préserve les intérêts financiers des industriels et des actionnaires, tout en entravant la décision publique concernant la prévention et la justice sociale.
