Published: April 2017

ABSTRACTObjectives: Pseudonocardia alni exhibits antimicrobial activity against tested pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus, Microsporum canis, and Trichophytonmentagrophyte. The present paper aimed to optimize various cultural conditions for antimicrobial metabolite production, purification, andcharacterization of the active substance.Methods: The effects of various parameters such as culture media, carbon and nitrogen sources, phosphate concentration, pH, temperature, incubationperiod, and agitation rate on bioactive metabolite production were studied using a flask scale with varying single parameter. The active substanceswere purified by adsorption chromatography using Silica gel column and Sephadex LH 20 column, and the physical, chemical, and biological propertieswere characterized.Results: The metabolite production by P. alni was greatly influenced by various cultural conditions. It produced high levels of the antimicrobialsubstance in International Streptomyces project-2 broth compared with that in potato dextrose broth. The optimum parameters for antimicrobialproduction from the actinobacterium occurred in the production medium consisting of glucose (1%) and tryptone (1%), 0.001 M of K2HPO4 and0.05M glycine at initial pH 8.5 and incubated at 30°C for 4 d in stand incubator. The higher concentration of phosphate buffer salts (˃0.01M) repressedthe bioactive production. The purified active substance had relative factor Rf=0.53 in the mobile phase of a thin layer chromatography system andthe maximum absorbance (λ max) at 216 nm. The results of infrared spectra Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy analysis indicate that it may beregarded to glycopeptide antibiotic. The purified substance had antibacterial and antifungal activities as well as cytotoxic activity in breast cancer cellline Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 and normal hepatic cell line (WRL-68) at a percentage up to 23.7% and 7.64%, respectively.Conclusions: The actinobacterium P. alni was a novel strain having the ability to produce antimicrobial and anticancer substances.Keywords: Pseudonocardia alni, Antifungal–antibacterial, Anticancer optimization, Production, Purification, Characterization.

Data & methods:
A simulation model to compare each treatment's 30-day inpatient utilization and complication rates utilized: clinical end points obtained from the TRANSFORM trial patient subset (EIE-FS-RDAVR) and a best evidence review of the published literature (FS-AVR); and costs from the Premier database and published literature.
Results:
EIE-FS-RDAVR costs $800 less than FS-AVR per surgery episode attributable to lowered complication rates and utilization. Combined with the lower mortality, EIE-FS-RDAVR was a superior (dominant) technology versus FS-AVR.
Conclusion:
This preliminary investigation of EIE-FS-RDAVR versus conventional FS-AVR found the EIE valve offered superior economic value over a 30-day period. Real-world analyses with additional long-term follow-up are needed to evaluate if this result can be replicated over a longer timeframe.
Passion in executive mentoring influences organizational innovativeness
Authors: Moore James Hatch , Wang Zhongming
Published: April 2017

Mentoring is a popular resource for individual and organizational improvement. In this study we examined for the first time passion in executive mentoring as a potential approach to developing organizational innovativeness. In most previous studies the executives, for example, chief
executive officers, were the mentors, but we took the opposite view, namely, the executives were the mentees. Results confirmed the hypotheses that the executive's perception of the mentor's passion was positively related to the executive's perception of organizational innovativeness, through
the quality of mentoring and cognitive adaptability. Confirmatory factor analysis and regression analysis confirmed the validity of the results. Results demonstrated the value of passion in executive mentoring and the subsequent link to organizational innovativeness via the quality of mentoring
and cognitive adaptability. Theoretical and managerial implications and directions for further research are discussed.
THE SNAKE AND THE ROUNDABOUT: ETHICAL PARTICULARISM AND THE PATTERNS OF NORMATIVE INDUCTION
A SERPENTE E A ROTUNDA: PARTICULARISMO ÉTICO E OS PADRÕES DA INDUÇÃO NORMATIVA
Authors: Kellogg (George Washington University) Frederic R.
Published: April 2017

Using two examples of ethical choice, Philippa Foot’s snake and the traffic roundabout, this paper offers an account of normative induction that characterizes particularism and generalism as stages of normative inquiry, rather than rival accounts of moral knowledge and motivation. Ethical particularism holds that the evaluative cannot be “cashed out” in propositional form, and that it is descriptively “shapeless.” Drawing on examples from law, this paper claims that, while individual normative inquiry may be viewed as encountering a shapeless particularist context of seem-ingly unlimited nonmoral properties, normativity is driven by repe-tition of similar situations toward shared practices and descriptive predication. Rather than retention of epistemic status by defeated reasons, this illustrates retirement of relevant properties and ac-companying reasons, transformation of the reasons environment, and a pluralist normative ontology.

Authors: Stelzer (UFSC) Joana , Gonçalves (UFSC) Everton das Neves
Published: April 2017

Desde que o fenômeno global ganhou ritmo (período pós-guerra), variadas categorias clássicas atreladas ao Direito Internacional foram rompidas. No âmbito das atividades comerciais é que se criaram condições ainda mais dinâmicas para fazer avançar o fenômeno da transnacionalidade. Em decorrência desse novo cenário surgiu o comércio justo (Fair Trade):  representa um movimento transnacional preocupado com a promoção de condições de mercado mais justas entre países consumidores e produtores de países em desenvolvimento. Existem diversos organismos que apoiam o Fair Trade no mundo, dentre os quais: EFTA, FLO, WFTO e FTF. Para sustentar a dimensão jurídica transnacional do comércio justo utilizou-se a Teoria de Rede de Colaboração Solidária. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi o crítico indutivo, enquanto os meios foram bibliográficos. Quanto aos fins, a pesquisa foi de cunho descritivo e os resultados foram expostos em forma de textos.

Published: April 2017

OBJECTIVE

To determine the prevalence of and characteristics associated with metformin use among U.S. adults with prediabetes using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005–2012.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The American Diabetes Association’s guidelines for metformin use in prediabetes have evolved, with 2017 recommendations suggesting metformin be considered in patients with prediabetes and additional risk factors (BMI ≥35 kg/m2, age <60 years, or prior gestational diabetes mellitus) or rising hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). We estimated the age-adjusted prevalence of metformin use among individuals with prediabetes (defined by HbA1c 5.7–6.4%, fasting glucose 100–125 mg/dL, 2-h poststimulated glucose 140–199 mg/dL, or self-report) and used multivariate logistic regression to evaluate characteristics associated with metformin use.

RESULTS

Of 22,174 adults, 7,652 had prediabetes. The age-adjusted prevalence of metformin use among those with prediabetes was 0.7%. Metformin use was associated with higher mean BMI (35.1 kg/m2 vs. 29.6 kg/m2, P < 0.01) and higher glucose (fasting glucose 114 mg/dL vs. 105 mg/dL, P = 0.03; 2-h poststimulated glucose 155 mg/dL vs. 128 mg/dL, P = 0.003; and HbA1c 6.0% [42 mmol/mmol] vs. 5.6% [38 mmol/mmol], P < 0.01). Metformin use was low even among those with BMI ≥35 kg/m2, a group for whom metformin use is recommended. Metformin use did not vary by race, poverty-to-income ratio, or education.

CONCLUSIONS

Metformin use was <1% among U.S. adults with prediabetes and only slightly more common among those with additional risk factors for diabetes.

Authors: Shaikh S. , Kedia S. , Singh A. K. , Sharma K. , Sinha S.
Published: April 2017

45S5 Hench bioglass (BG) has gained interest in research because of its potential clinical applications. Several studies in-vivo and in-vitro have been in progress to improve biointegration efficiency of this glass. In present contribution, surface modification of Hench BG has been done employing a femtosecond (fs) laser beam, resulting in increased effective surface area of the sample. These surface modified samples were subsequently immersed in simulated body fluid for varying number of days and characterized using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. In-vitro studies indicated superior growth of hydroxyapatite (HAP) layer on the laser treated samples in comparison to the untreated samples. The presence of strong X-ray diffraction peaks confirmed faster growth of HAP on laser treated samples. Raman peaks, five times more intense and relatively narrower represented higher crystallinity of hydroxyapatite layer on laser treated BG.
MORFOLOGI DAN KEKERABATAN ANTARA LEOPOLDAMYS SIPORANUS (THOMAS, 1985) DAN L. SABANUS (THOMAS, 1987) (MURIDAE) ASAL KEPULAUAN MENTAWAI SUMATERA KALIMANTAN DAN JAWA

Published: April 2017

Jawa, Anamba, and Leopoldamys siporanus from Siberut and Pagai-Mentawai Islands was analyzed using discriminant analysis. The analysis showed that the morphological shape of Sumatran L. sabanus was an intermediate between Jawa and Kalimantan populations. The population of L. sabanus from Anamba Island was predicted to be closed to the intermediate from between Kalimantan and Sumatra. Specimens of L. siporanus from Siberut and Pagai indicated that their morphology was closer to that of L. sabarus from Kalimantan than it was from Sumatra or Jawa. In Sumatra L. sabarus has three subspecies which are distributed in northern side of West Sumatra (L.s. tapanulius), southern side of West Sumatra (L.s. ululans) and Mount Kerinci at Sumatra (L.s. vociferans). Furthermore, specimens examined in this study were collected from Leuser and Bengkulu where they are located at the corner of tapanulius and ululans type locality, and they were predicted as one population. This finding raises the possibility that the Sumatrans has one shape of L. sabanus, but this argument should be confirmed from prototype specimens of ululans, vociferans, and tapanulius.

A comparison between two theoretical methods, recently adopted for evaluating induced currents in a human body, is here presented. In both cases, a vertical ELF electric field is assumed for the coupling to a standard human subject.Specifically, the diakoptic method (DM), applied to a homogeneous multi-sphere model of man with low partitioning degree, and the Boundary Element Method (BEM), applied to a non-homogeneous model with high partitioning degree, have been selected. The analytical and numerical formulations, respectively distinctive of the above methods, are carefully described and a number of data are reported and commentedupon.
Secure Mobile IPv6 for Mobile Networks based on the 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem
Authors: Celentano Domenico , Fresa Antonio , Longo Maurizio , Postiglione Fabio , Robustelli Anton Luca
Published: April 2017

The rapid spread of new radio access technologies and the consequent service opportunities have stimulated thetechnical and scientific community to investigate future evolution scenarios for 3rd Generation networks (3G), generically referred to as Beyond-3G or 4G. They are going to be characterized by ever stronger requirements for security, as well as the capability for the final users to experience continuous connectivity and uninterrupted services of IP applications as they move about from one access network to another. Key issues are: i) securityprovision for applications exchanging data in diverse wireless networks; ii) seamless mobility (handoff) between different coverage domains and, in case, access technologies. Since many proposals are based on the use of the Mobile IPv6 protocol, in this paper we analyze the security threats emerging from some Mobile IPv6 mechanisms for mobility management, and we propose a solution against such threats, under the assumption that both end users (mobile or not) are attached to a Mobile IPv6-enabled 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem network.
THE REALIZATION OF THE ITERATIVE METHOD OF THE LEAST SQUARES FOR THE ESTIMATION OF STATIC OBJECT PARAMETERS IN MATLAB ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Troshina Galina Vasil’evna , Voevoda Alexander Aleksandrovich
Published: April 2017

It was suggested to use the system model working in real time for an iterative method of the parameter estimation. It gives the chance to select a suitable input signal, and also to carry out the setup of the object parameters. The object modeling for a case when the system isn't affected by the measurement noises, and also for a case when an object is under the gaussian noise was executed in the MatLab environment. The superposition of two meanders with different periods and single amplitude is used as an input signal. The model represents the three-layer structure in the MatLab environment. On the most upper layer there are units corresponding to the simulation of an input signal, directly the object, the unit of the noise simulation and the unit for the parameter estimation. The second and the third layers correspond to the simulation of the iterative method of the least squares. The diagrams of the input and the output signals in the absence of noise and in the presence of noise are shown. The results of parameter estimation of a static object are given. According to the results of modeling, the algorithm works well even in the presence of significant measurement noise. To verify the correctness of the work of an algorithm the auxiliary computations have been performed and the diagrams of the gain behavior amount which is used in the parameter estimation procedure have been constructed. The entry conditions which are necessary for the work of an iterative method of the least squares are specified. The understanding of this algorithm functioning principles is a basis for its subsequent use for the parameter estimation of the multi-channel dynamic objects.

El debate sobre el futuro de México. Buscando una economía nueva; encontrando desafíos y límites, 1830-1845
Authors: Tutino John
Published: April 2017

En 1830 era evidente que la economía de plata, que fue responsable de la riqueza de la Nueva España, se había derrumbado y no podía recuperarse. La economía mercantil de México se había estancado y el gobierno buscaba más ingresos. Hubo mucho debate. Lucas Alamán propuso que la recuperación de la plata y el crecimiento de la industria traerían consigo un incremento económico e ingresos para el gobierno. Tadeo Ortiz insistió en que México se volviera un exportador de mercancías, observando que los grandes exportadores dependen de la esclavitud. Después de la perdida de Texas en los primeros años de los 1840, Alamán defendió su visión industrial mientras los editores liberales del siglo XIX publicaron un análisis británico que abogó por el desarrollo de California para la exportación por medio de una operación conjunta británico-mexicana. Finalmente, un analista anónimo, J.G., terminó el debate en 1845, insistiendo en que una combinación de minería limitada, la industrialización del mercado interno y las exportaciones modestas (los mexicanos no tolerarían la esclavitud) era el único camino. Después vino la guerra y la pérdida de California.

Authors: Moreno Gutiérrez Rodrigo
Published: April 2017

El presente artículo analiza, por una parte, la construcción historiográfica de los realistas entendidos como los opositores a los movimientos independentistas hispanoamericanos, en general, y novohispanos, en particular y, por otra parte, en consonancia con el estudio de los lenguajes políticos, los usos del término realista en el ámbito de la monarquía española con particular énfasis en los años de la crisis política y en el contexto del conflicto independentista de la Nueva España. Por último, la investigación da cuenta del desarrollo del fenómeno miliciano novohispano en tiempos de la guerra insurgente para destacar las implicaciones de los distintos cuerpos a partir de sus denominaciones.
¿Cuándo, cómo, por qué y quiénes hicieron la Constitución de 1917?
Authors: Garciadiego Javier
Published: April 2017

Este artículo pretende demostrar que la Constitución de 1917 fue una propuesta de Venustiano Carranza y de su círculo de colaboradores civiles más cercanos. Primero tenían que desligarse de la Constitución de 1857, que era la bandera original de su lucha. Después tendrían que encontrar el momento más adecuado para convocar a un Congreso Constituyente que elaborara la nueva Constitución. Obviamente, el tema fundamental era escoger a quienes serían los más adecuados para ser constituyentes: los Constitucionalistas cercanos a Carranza que tuvieran experiencia legislativa. Luego, el artículo describe todos los pasos seguidos por Carranza y su grupo para conservar el control y dominio del Congreso Constituyente, decididos a evitar que se repitiera la experiencia de la fracasada Convención. En efecto, las similitudes y características compartidas por la mayoría de los diputados explican la ausencia de grandes polémicas y las votaciones mayoritarias y hasta unánimes para muchos artículos. Por último, analizando sociológicamente al conjunto de diputados constituyentes se llega a la conclusión de que en Querétaro se dio un proceso de alternancia sociohistórica: si los sectores rurales populares habían acabado con el Antiguo Régimen, los creadores del nuevo Estado mexicano fueron sectores de la clase media urbana.
Los diputados renovadores. De la XXVI Legislatura al Congreso Constituyente
Authors: MacGregor Josefina
Published: April 2017

Durante el Congreso Constituyente, y en las obras que dejaron los diputados que participaron en él, se alude a la actuación de un grupo conocido como “renovador”. Este calificativo provenía de la XXVI Legislatura (1912-1913). En este artículo se sigue la trayectoria de esos diputados desde el gobierno de Madero hasta el Congreso de 1916-1917. Se intenta demostrar que si bien fue amplia la participación de esos legisladores en el Constituyente, no integraron un grupo político definido, y el calificativo de “renovadores” se circunscribió a un pequeño círculo integrado principalmente por José N. Macías, Luis Manuel Rojas, Alfonso Cravioto, Félix F. Palavicini y Gerzayn Ugarte, quienes como colaboradores de Venustiano Carranza habían participado en la elaboración del Proyecto de Constitución. Sin embargo, estas circunstancias no alcanzan a explicar la conducta que siguieron cuando se debatieron objeciones y se votaron reformas a distintos artículos de dicho Proyecto.

Los santuarios novohispanos y las imágenes “peregrinas” entre historia e imaginario
Authors: Moro Raffaele
Published: April 2017

La práctica religiosa novohispana ha sido fuertemente caracterizada por la devoción hacia las imágenes milagrosas de los santuarios. En este trabajo se estudia el papel jugado por los demandantes y las “peregrinas” (las copias que los primeros normalmente llevaban en sus “questuas” de limosnas) en la difusión del culto de estas imágenes a partir de la primera mitad del siglo XVII, un tema hasta ahora casi no abordado en la historiografía.  después de haber ofrecido una síntesis de tipo histórico sobre las peregrinas de los santuarios marianos, se reflexiona sobre su estatus en la sociedad y el imaginario novohispano. La hipótesis que se propone es que las imágenes peregrinas fueron una suerte de “dobles” de las imágenes de los santuarios y no copias de éstas.
Sobre la propiedad comunal de los pueblos. De la Reforma a la Revolución
Authors: Kourí Emilio
Published: April 2017

Este ensayo presenta una serie de reflexiones generales para orientar el desarrollo de una nueva historiografía acerca del fraccionamiento de las tierras comunales de los pueblos durante el medio siglo que precedió a la revolución de 1910. Recapitula las deficiencias de la narrativa que a lo largo del siglo XX definió la explicación de las causas y consecuencias de las desamortizaciones civiles y destaca el surgimiento reciente de investigaciones en archivos locales y regionales que la contradicen y que abren nuevos caminos analíticos e interpretativos. Se concentra  luego en esbozar seis grandes temas que merecen una reconsideración conceptual y mayor investigación documental: la legislación como causa; la distribución de los derechos de propiedad comunales al interior de los pueblos antes de las desamortizaciones; la distinción entre la comunidad política y la comunidad territorial; el carácter de las relaciones (y las diferencias) sociales con respecto a la propiedad jurídicamente comunal en los pueblos del siglo XIX; el destino de las pequeñas parcelas excomunales establecidas por los repartos; y la relación entre la historia de la evolución de la tenencia tierra de los pueblos en el porfiriato y la reforma agraria ejidal de la Revolución.
Ejerciendo la justicia fuera de los tribunales: de las reivindicaciones decimonónicas a las restituciones de la reforma agraria
Authors: Baitenmann Helga
Published: April 2017

Este trabajo propone entender la reforma agraria como un reajuste de las facultades y competencias entre los poderes Ejecutivo y Judicial. A pesar de que en el siglo XIX los representantes de los pueblos y los gobiernos de los estados frecuentemente trataron de resolver los conflictos por las tierras de los pueblos fuera de los costosos y dilatados tribunales, el Poder Judicial defendió exitosamente su jurisdicción sobre asuntos contenciosos. Durante el maderismo, la Secretaría de Fomento intentó ampliar su esfera administrativa para resolver las demandas revolucionarias; pero el Poder Judicial continuó defendiendo el principio de la división de poderes entre los órganos del Estado. Cuando Venustiano Carranza firmó una ley agraria en medio de una guerra civil en la que había desconocido al Poder Judicial, permitió  al Ejecutivo ejercer la justicia fuera de los tribunales, al transformar los juicios reivindicativos en restituciones agrarias. Más aún, las primeras dos supremas cortes revolucionarias legitimaron este poder extraordinario del Ejecutivo. Esta perspectiva permite revalorar una serie de suposiciones que se han aceptado sin cuestionar sobre los orígenes de la reforma agraria mexicana, así como sobre los poderes extraordinarios del poder Ejecutivo federal.

O parto é um processo natural que ocorre nas mulheres. A mulher deve ser participante ativa deste processo, reconhecendo seu corpo e suas necessidades para o parto, tornando o parto humanizado. Quando a mulher não entra em trabalho de parto espontaneamente, instrumentos e fármacos que irão induzir e/ou conduzir seu trabalho de parto podem ser utilizados de uma forma segura e eficaz. A ocitocina e o misoprostol são os fármacos de primeira escolha, pois demonstram muita efetividade nestes processos e são de baixo custo. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever os efeitos positivos e negativos do uso de ocitócitos na indução e condução do parto normal. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão da literatura, a partir de artigos levantados em bases de dados eletrônicas, periódicos brasileiros e internacionais indexados encontrados na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), SciELO, LILACS e manuais governamentais, entre 2010 a 2016. Concluiu-se que, o uso da ocitocina deve ser avaliado criteriosamente devido aos efeitos colaterais que podem ocorrer, aumentando a monitorização e limitações da parturiente.
Percepção de mulheres relacionada aos métodos não farmacológicos para alívio da dor no trabalho de parto
Authors: Conceição Costa Ester , Rodrigues dos Santos Sant’ana Fagner , Ferreira de Brito Ingrid
Published: April 2017

Este artigo tem como objetivo descrever, a partir da literatura, a concepção das mulheres referentes a utilização dos Métodos Não Farmacológicos para alivio da dor no trabalho de parto. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada a partir da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, utilizando as bases de dados, LILACS e BDENF, sendo selecionados 13 artigos para a análise dos dados.  De acordo com os resultados, as mulheres relataram que a maioria das medidas não farmacológicas não reduziu significativamente a dor, porém permitiu que trouxesse uma redução dos sentimentos de medo e ansiedade gerados pelo momento. Os estudos mostraram ainda que os profissionais que estiveram envolvidos na assistência humanizada foram lembrados de maneira positiva pelas mulheres. No entanto, acredita-se que ainda há necessidade de investimentos com vistas a atender as exigências das práticas humanizadas de parto, uma vez que muitos hospitais-maternidades ainda não dispõem destas medidas na assistência.
The Law-Love-Life Balancing Act of Viola Vivian DeBeck McCrossan
Authors: Gourley Ann , Brockman Joan , Chunn Dorothy E.
Published: April 2017

In 1915, three years after legislation was passed forcing the Law Society of British Columbia to admit women, Viola Vivian DeBeck enrolled in articles. She was the fourth woman to do so. Her principal was her brother's law partner. Thirty-eight years later in 1953, after marriage, children, the death of her husband, and articling for two more principals, she was called and admitted to the bar as Viola Vivian DeBeck McCrossan. She then practised continuously from her call until her death in 1980. This article explores McCrossan's pioneering pathway into law and the evolution of her balancing act among law, love, and life.
