Ukrainian Economic Reforms: Current Status And Perspectives In The Face Of Competition On European Union Markets
Authors: Greta Marianna , Pakosz Mieczysław
Published: June 2016

The conflict in Ukraine since the beginning of 2014 has been the important in the history of Ukraine as an independent state. Despite the danger of economic collapse, the loss of Crimea, and war in its most industrialized region, Ukraine is still trying to conduct reforms and implement Western standards. Through persistent work Ukraine has been moving forward, despite all the difficulties. The society is staying together with the government to save the economy and defend the integrity of the whole country. This article outlines key processes in the Ukrainian reforms during 2014 and describes the cooperation of Ukraine with the European Union and international organizations in the field of financial support and reforms. The main goal of the article is to present the situation in various spheres of the country’s development, but it is also an attempt to present a wider perspective on both the achievements and shortcomings in the process of reforms. The authors focus on those aspects having a significant impact on the Ukrainian economy after February 2014.

Authors: Dorożyński Tomasz , Świerkocki Janusz , Urbaniak Wojciech
Published: June 2016

This paper presents employers’ opinions concerning competencies they expect of graduates of Faculties of Economics with elements of environmental protection. In order to provide empirical input, we conducted a questionnaire-based study among 200 top managers of (mostly) businesses located in the Lodz region (voivodeship), including 194 enterprises and 6 entities do not involved in business but whose activities are, directly or indirectly, linked with environmental protection. The findings of our study demonstrate that while both soft and professional competencies acquired in the course of university studies are important to employers, the respondents valued soft competencies more. They found foreign languages to be the most important, although surprisingly they also attached high importance to a good command of Polish. When assessing university curricula, employers indicated that general courses, the foundations of a university education, remain important as a basis to improve the professional skills of university graduates and to reinforce their position in the labour market.
Drug combinations in diabetic neuropathic pain: an experimental validation
Authors: Tripathi Chakra Dhar , Mehta Ashish K. , Yadav Amol M.
Published: June 2016

Background:

Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus, and the different drug combinations available do not provide effective pain relief. The present study was performed to observe the effect of amitripyline, duloxetine, sitagliptin, and pregabalin, and their combinations on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic neuropathy.

Methods:

Diabetic neuropathy was induced by STZ, and the tail-flick test was used to assess thermal hyperalgesia before and after (at 30, 60, and 120 min) drug administration. One week after STZ administration, the blood glucose level was observed to be in the diabetic range.

Results:

Administration of all the drugs except sitagliptin increased the tail-flick latency significantly as compared to control. Further, the drugs amitriptyline, duloxetine, and pregabalin showed significant pain-relieving effect, when either two of them were administered in combination, although the different combinations had varied degree of pain relief. However, sitagliptin was observed to have no effect when administered alone or in combination with the other three drugs.

Conclusions:

Therefore, the study provides new insights concerning combined therapy of pain, which further needs clinical exploration.
“Languaging the worker: Globalized governmentalities in/of language in peripheral spaces”
Authors: Dlaske Kati , Barakos Elisabeth , Motobayashi Kyoko , McLaughlin Mireille
Published: June 2016

In the introduction to the special issue “Languaging the worker: globalized governmentalities in/of language in peripheral spaces”, we take up the notion of governmentality as a means to interrogate the complex relationship between language, labor, power and subjectivity in peripheral multilingual spaces. Our aim here is to argue for the study of governmentality as a viable and growing approach in critical sociolinguistic research. As such, in this introduction, we first discuss key concepts germane to our interrogations, including the notions of governmentality, languaging, peripherality and language worker. We proceed to map out five ethnographically and discourse-analytically informed case studies. These examine diverse actors in different settings pertaining to the domain of work. Finally we chart how the case studies construe the issue of languaging the worker through a governmentality frame.
Generation and manipulation of entangled photons on silicon chips
Authors: Matsuda Nobuyuki , Takesue Hiroki
Published: June 2016

Integrated quantum photonics is now seen as one of the promising approaches to realize scalable quantum information systems. With optical waveguides based on silicon photonics technologies, we can realize quantum optical circuits with a higher degree of integration than with silica waveguides. In addition, thanks to the large nonlinearity observed in silicon nanophotonic waveguides, we can implement active components such as entangled photon sources on a chip. In this paper, we report recent progress in integrated quantum photonic circuits based on silicon photonics. We review our work on correlated and entangled photon-pair sources on silicon chips, using nanoscale silicon waveguides and silicon photonic crystal waveguides. We also describe an on-chip quantum buffer realized using the slow-light effect in a silicon photonic crystal waveguide. As an approach to combine the merits of different waveguide platforms, a hybrid quantum circuit that integrates a silicon-based photon-pair source and a silica-based arrayed waveguide grating is also presented.
Nanotechnology as a proxy to capture regional economic development? New findings from the European Union Framework Programmes
Authors: Calignano Giuseppe
Published: June 2016

The European Union has included nanotechnology in the Key Enabling Technologies helping countries to tackle current and future societal challenges thanks to their applications in multiple industries. Furthermore, one theme named “Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and New Production Technologies” was included in the Sixth and Seventh Framework Programmes with the purpose of financing organizations specifically involved in nanotechnology activities. The empirical analysis presented in this paper aims to reconstruct the participation of the Italian private, public and public-private organizations at the regional level in the European Union nanotechnology network. The hypothesis is that a high share of private organizations and a well-balanced proportion of private and public entities are beneficial for knowledge circulation potentially leading to innovation. This paper confirms the findings of other recent studies by revealing that the participation of private, public and public-private organizations at the European Union level overlaps the distribution of the nanotechnology activities in Italy and the regional disparities in the country. More in general, this paper strengthens the concept that the interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology and the collaborations fostered by the Framework Programmes enable researchers to capture regional economic development from a global viewpoint.
Towards low energy consumption data storage era using phase-change probe memory with TiN bottom electrode
Authors: Wang Lei , Gong Sidi , Yang Cihui , Wen Jing
Published: June 2016

Phase-change probe memory has been extensively regarded as one of the most prospective candidates to satisfy the recording density requirement from the incoming age of big data. However, in spite of recent advances, the energy consumption of phase-change probe memory still remains fairly high due to the use of the diamond-like carbon bottom electrode usually having a relatively high electric resistivity. In this case, the possibility of using titanium nitride to replace the diamond-like carbon as the electrode materials is investigated in this paper. The thickness and time-dependent resistivity of titanium nitride film is measured, allowing for a more conductive characteristic and a better stability than diamond-like carbon film at the same condition. Consequently, the writing of crystalline bit using the previously designed phase-change probe memory architecture but with titanium nitride bottom electrode is performed experimentally, and results show that using titanium nitride as bottom electrode would enable an achievement of ultra-high recording density with lower energy consumption than the phase-change stack with diamond-like carbon electrode.

Authors: Egorin Andrei , Tokar Eduard , Zemskova Larisa
Published: June 2016

An organomineral sorbent based on mixed nickel-potassium ferrocyanide and chitosan to be used in removal of Cs-137 radionuclide from highly mineralized media with high pH has been fabricated. The synthesized sorbent was applied to remove Cs-137 from model solutions under static and dynamic conditions. The effects of contact time, pH, and presence of sodium ions and complexing agents in the process of Cs-137 removal have been investigated. The sorbent is distinguished by increased stability to the impact of alkaline media containing complexing agents, whereas the sorbent capacity in solutions with pH 11 exceeds 1000 bed volumes with the Cs-137 removal efficiency higher than 95%.

A Note on Trial Delay and Social Welfare: The Impact of Multiple Equilibria
Authors: Friehe Tim , Miceli Thomas J.
Published: June 2016

Greater trial delay is commonly associated with decreasing demand for trials, thereby bringing about an equilibrium for a given trial capacity. This note highlights that – in contrast to this premise – trial delay may in fact increase trial demand. Such an outcome is established for a scenario in which the number of cases is endogenous based on the deterrence effect of lawsuits. That trial demand may increase with longer delay makes multiple stable equilibria possible. This reality has important policy implications, which are discussed.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and accumulation of damaged mitochondria are considered major contributors to aging. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for these mitochondrial alterations remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) plays a key role in the control of muscle mitochondrial damage. We show that aging is characterized by a progressive reduction in Mfn2 in mouse skeletal muscle and that skeletal muscle Mfn2 ablation in mice generates a gene signature linked to aging. Furthermore, analysis of muscle Mfn2‐deficient mice revealed that aging‐induced Mfn2 decrease underlies the age‐related alterations in metabolic homeostasis and sarcopenia. Mfn2 deficiency reduced autophagy and impaired mitochondrial quality, which contributed to an exacerbated age‐related mitochondrial dysfunction. Interestingly, aging‐induced Mfn2 deficiency triggers a ROS‐dependent adaptive signaling pathway through induction of HIF1α transcription factor and BNIP3. This pathway compensates for the loss of mitochondrial autophagy and minimizes mitochondrial damage. Our findings reveal that Mfn2 repression in muscle during aging is a determinant for the inhibition of mitophagy and accumulation of damaged mitochondria and triggers the induction of a mitochondrial quality control pathway.
MECHANISMS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY: Parity and risk of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis
Authors: Li Peiyun , Shan Zhilei , Zhou Li , Xie Manling , Bao Wei , Zhang Yan , Rong Ying , Yang Wei , Liu Liegang
Published: June 2016

Objective

Epidemiologic studies regarding the association between parity and risk of type 2 diabetes have yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to determine the relation between parity and type 2 diabetes risk.

Methods

We searched PubMed and Embase for published epidemiologic studies that assessed the relation between parity and risk of type 2 diabetes up to 31 March 2016. A dose-response random-effects model was used to combine study-specific relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Potential sources of heterogeneity were explored by meta-regression and subgroup analyses.

Results

Seven cohort studies, 1 case-control study and 9 cross-sectional studies including 296 923 participants were eligible for inclusion. The combined RR for the highest versus lowest category of parity indicated a 54% increment in type 2 diabetes risk (95% CI: 29–83%). In the cubic spline model, a nonlinear association was found between parity and risk of type 2 diabetes (P = 0.02 for nonlinearity). Compared with nulliparous women, the estimated RR (95% CI) of type 2 diabetes for women with one to seven children was 1.01 (0.96–1.07), 1.08 (1.00–1.16), 1.20 (1.12–1.30), 1.32 (1.22–1.42), 1.37 (1.27–1.48), 1.39 (1.26–1.52) and 1.39 (1.23–1.57) respectively.

Conclusions

Higher parity is significantly associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Further studies are warranted to fully adjust for the potential confounders and explore the causality between parity and type 2 diabetes risk.

Ética y derechos humanos. La importancia del concepto “validez moral” de Jürgen Habermas para la justificación racional de los derechos humanos
Authors: Montoya Londoño Mauricio
Published: June 2016

La justificación racional de los derechos humanos se encuentra hoy enun proceso de resquebrajamiento debido a tres fenómenos: una culturade las relaciones internacionales basadas en el fenómeno hobbesiano de la seguridad y la estabilidad; en segunda instancia, al descrédito en el que han caído institucionesfundamentales como el consejo de seguridad de la ONU, de cara a la legitimidad ofrecida a las intervencionesde Estados Unidos en Irak y Afganistán; y por último, el uso que los Estados Unidos le handado a los derechos humanos como escudo de su política exterior. Frente a esta problemática surge lapregunta de si tiene sentido hoy hablar de la validez de los principios morales, incluidos dentro de elloslos derechos humanos, sobre todo, si tiene vigencia hablar de normas que tienen una pretensión deuniversalidad. Este artículo lleva a cabo un ejercicio de análisis del concepto de validez intersubjetiva deHabermas, con el objeto de examinar si esta noción puede sobreponerse, en primera instancia, a losembates de la posición empírica, y en segundo lugar, si tal validez se sostiene después de la objecióndel multiculturalismo.

BACKGROUND:

Abusive head trauma is the leading cause of death from physical abuse. Misdiagnosis of abusive head trauma as well as other types of brain abnormalities in infants is common and contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. We previously derived the Pittsburgh Infant Brain Injury Score (PIBIS), a clinical prediction rule to assist physicians deciding which high-risk infants should undergo computed tomography of the head.

METHODS:

Well-appearing infants 30 to 364 days of age with temperature <38.3°C, no history of trauma, and a symptom associated with an increased risk of having a brain abnormality were eligible for enrollment in this prospective, multicenter clinical prediction rule validation. By using a predefined neuroimaging paradigm, subjects were classified as cases or controls. The sensitivity, specificity, and negative and positive predictive values of the rule for prediction of brain injury were calculated.

RESULTS:

A total of 1040 infants were enrolled: 214 cases and 826 controls. The 5-point PIBIS included abnormality on dermatologic examination (2 points), age ≥3.0 months (1 point), head circumference >85th percentile (1 point), and serum hemoglobin <11.2g/dL (1 point). At a score of 2, the sensitivity and specificity for abnormal neuroimaging was 93.3% (95% confidence interval 89.0%–96.3%) and 53% (95% confidence interval 49.3%–57.1%), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our data suggest that the PIBIS accurately identifies infants who would benefit from neuroimaging to evaluate for brain injury. An implementation analysis is needed before the PIBIS can be integrated into clinical practice.

Published: June 2016

El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una tipificación de las fincas de la zona rural de Ibagué, Colombia. Se aplicaron 55 encuestas entre marzo y abril del 2013, en cinco corregimientos. La encuesta abarcó aspectos humanos, sociales, físicos, financieros y naturales. La tipificación evidenció tres grupos de fincas: el grupo 1 poseía una importante proporción del suelo bajo pasturas (3,71±5,88 ha) y eran sistemas típicos de economía campesina, en los cuales se combinaban actividades agrícolas y pecuarias. El grupo 2 estuvo conformado básicamente por fincas dedicadas al cultivo del café; su superficie era pequeña (3,15±2,31 ha). En el grupo 3 predominaron las pasturas; fueron fincas con características poco comunes, particularmente por su gran extensión (52,43±111,51 ha). Predominó la diversidad productiva, tanto agrícola como pecuaria, y también la heterogeneidad social típica de las sociedades campesinas.

Speech naturalness ratings and perceptual correlates of highly natural and unnatural speech in hypokinetic dysarthria secondary to Parkinson's disease
Authors: Klopfenstein Marie
Published: June 2016

Despite the importance of speech naturalness to treatment outcomes, little research has been done on what constitutes speech naturalness and how to best maximize naturalness in relationship to other treatment goals like intelligibility. This study investigated the speech naturalness ratings of individuals with dysarthria and the associated perceptual correlates of highly natural and unnatural speech. Four speakers with hypokinetic dysarthria secondary to Parkinson's disease were recorded and rated for naturalness by 69 students in Communication Disorders. Students were presented with 436 speech samples and asked to provide speech naturalness ratings on a 1-9 Likert scale. After rating speech samples, subjects listed perceptual cues associated with samples rated most and least natural and weighted each cue on a visual analog scale. The data on naturalness ratings showed that spontaneous speech was rated the least natural on average, while sentences from a short story were rated slightly more natural and individually read sentences were rated the most natural of all of the utterance types. Thirteen themes emerged from the perceptual cues collected. Of the thirteen themes, intelligibility was rated significantly more important than other cues in highly natural speech and intelligibility and articulation were rated significantly more important than other cues in highly unnatural speech.
The situation of the Greek Catholic Church in Slovakia in the second half of 20th century
Authors: Šturák Peter
Published: June 2016

The past 20th century has many attributes and names. It can be said that it was century of martyrs, but it is also century of the victories of God. In connection with this, ecumenical memory of 20th century martyrs took place on 7th May 2000 in Colosseum in Roma, where Holy Father also said: „At the places, where it seemed that hatred will diminish the whole life and it will be impossible to run from it, witnesses of God showed that love is stronger than death. In terrible systems of tyranny which outraged a man at the places of pain, in hunger and various torments, they showed that they belong to Christ, crucified and resurrected Lord… Let the memory of our brothers and sisters­‑martyrs be still alive in following century and millennium. Let it be passed from generation to generation to make deep Christian recovery flow from it. Let guard the memory of martyrs as the jewel of incredible price for the Christians of the new millennium.” These words also fully refer to the Greek Catholic Churuch in Czechoslovakia, which in its history and in the mentioned century underwent hard tests, but it has persevered in faith and loyalty to God. The Greek Catholic Church suffered from pressure of the totalitarian regime the most, it even made its martyrs. While the other Churches were disturbed and weaken, the Greek Catholic Church was directly administratively liquidated.

Responsabilità dell’università cattolica nei confronti dell’uomo e del mondo
Authors: Zuziak Władysław
Published: June 2016

Le università sono un supporto intellettuale delle società, un importante elemento della loro continuità ed un luogo dove viene creata cultura. Questo implica loro doveri, responsabilità, e ciò è per loro fonte di autorità. Oggigiorno, comunque, le università devono affrontare nuove sfide.Una di queste è l’economizzarsi dei valori nel mondo, un fenomeno che affligge anche le università: esse cessano di interpretare il ruolo di essere luogo dove plasmare standard morali, risolvendo conflitti sociali. Peraltro, un’università la cui missione è limitata ad insegnamento e ricerca non è sufficiente.Le università cattoliche non possono funzionare come le cosiddette “università­‑azienda” – si suppone che l’università lavori al servizio della prosperità della società e per adempiere alle sue funzioni storiche, scientifiche e di creazione della cultura. Le università cattoliche hanno aspirato, fin dal principio, a svolgere questi compiti, sia in ambito sociale che internazionale. Nel realizzarsi di questa missione bisogna anche tener ferma la nostra identità dando testimonianza dei valori cristiani. In questo caso, una solida cognizione del contenuto della cristianità sembra ovvia.I progressi della civilizzazione contemporanea non portano comprensione, felicità o liberazione dai desideri inappagati. La loro realizzazione passa esclusivamente dal riconoscimento di tutte le dimensioni dell’umanità e sostenendo uno sviluppo armonioso dello spirito umano.

Authors: Duggan Paul , Monnier Patricia , Roex Alphonse , Bédard Marie-Josée , Charlin Bernard
Published: June 2016

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background: The Script Concordance Test (SCT) is being increasingly used in professional development in clinical reasoning (CR) in postgraduate medicine. On-line delivery favours multi-institutional collaboration. Objectives: To establish if: 1) SCT questions developed in the French-speaking University of Montreal were readily adaptable for use in the English-speaking University of Adelaide 2) expert reference panels (ERP) from both institutions could be used interchangeably 3) student cohorts would perform similarly in the same test. Study Design: 82 SCT questions based on 27 clinical cases in Obstetrics and Gynaecology were developed in Montreal and run in a volunteer cohort of year 3 and year 4 medical students (n=154). Local faculty translated all questions, selecting 31 based on 17 clinical cases for use in summative examinations a year 5 student cohort in Adelaide (n=123). Results: Mean (SD) percentage scores using each ERP key were: 74.2 (6.4) versus 73.3 (6.9), p<0.001 for Adelaide students and 72.5 (7.8) versus 70.6 (8.8), p<0.001 for Montreal students. The correlation coefficients were ≥ 0.928 (p<0.001). Conclusions: Student cohorts performed similarly regardless of which ERP key was used. With appropriate editorial control, SCT's can be effectively shared between French and English-speaking institutions located in different hemispheres. Potential advantages include the creation of an international database of assessment items, benchmarking and cost sharing.
Metodología para un Plan Local de Seguridad Vial
Authors: Gómez Juan Manuel , Serna Sandra Milena
Published: June 2016

According to accident figures recorded between 2006 and 2012 in the city of Medellín, more than half of those killed in traffic accidents are bicyclists and pedestrians. That is why local authorities have the duty

to develop and implement a road safety plan, coherent with the National Road Safety plan (Plan Nacional de Seguridad Vial, pnsv 2001-2016), established by the Government of Colombia through its Ministry of

Transport, with the aim of reducing deaths from traffic incidents by 50%. A methodology is therefore proposed to diagnose, plan and evaluate necessary interventions to reduce the mortality of the most vulnerable actors on the roads.
Breve reseña histórica de las vías en Colombia

Published: June 2016

El indígena precolombino desarrolló en grado variable la capacidad de desafiar y ejecutar obras en el ramo vial. Para el caso que concierne, se señalan como las más importantes, la construcción de distintas clases de puentes y la de embarcaciones. Asimismo, los caminos que van en línea recta cualquiera que sea la pendiente, se explican por la necesidad de llegar cuanto antes a un punto determinado, pues siendo gente de a pie y ágil, la pendiente no representaba obstáculo. Antes, hubo caminos... Anduvieron los precolombinos comerciando intercambiando “trueque” más que imponiendo una lengua común. Por haber desarrollado sus civilizaciones sobre las cordilleras, su arte de construir trochas y puentes, de llegar a mercados distantes escalando montes y cruzando ríos los llevó a hacer puentes de bejucos, y a empedrar caminos y hacer escaleras tan perfectas como las de los taironas, y a cruzar provincias de lenguas diversas como en los largos caminos reales que recorrían los chasquis incas yendo de tambo en tambo a velocidad de mulas, como ocurría también entre los aztecas.
Revisión teórica de evaluación del potencial de colapso en las dunitas de Medellín
Authors: Rodríguez Óscar Egidio , Salgado Eileen Carolina , Gallo Adriana Maria , Vanegas Eduardo Danilo
Published: June 2016

En el siguiente artículo se hace referencia a la primera etapa de una investigación que está enmarcada por una revisión bibliográfica y teórica de todos los criterios, métodos y ensayos que se han utilizado a través del tiempo para determinar el grado de colapsabilidad de los suelos y posteriormente se realizará una segunda etapa que consistirá en la aplicación de una serie de ensayos de laboratorio para obtener las conclusiones pertinentes que nos permita identificar el grado de colapso del suelo. Esta investigación se lleva a cabo en la ciudad de Medellín principalmente en la zona oriental donde se encuentra ubicada la dunita. La idea surgió por una serie de eventos que se han venido presentado en este sector a lo largo de los años donde han sido afectadas algunas vías principales como son la autopista Medellín-Bogotá, que comunica a Medellín con la capital de Colombia, la vía Las Palmas que comunica a Medellín con el aeropuerto internacional José María Córdoba.

Devido à crescente demanda por energias sustentáveis, gestão de resíduos e o uso de materiais recicláveis, o presente trabalho objetivou o desenvolvimento de compósitos poliméricos de matriz de polipropileno reciclado visando o uso como placas absorvedoras de energia solar. Nessa matriz polimérica adicionou-se como fase dispersa um resíduo do tabaco (pó de fumo) empregando teores de 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% e 30%, em massa. Além disso, estudou-se a adição de negro de fumo junto ao pó de fumo, utilizando teores de 6% e 10% de cada fase dispersa. As formulações foram misturadas em homogeneizador de laboratório, moídas em moinhos de facas e processadas por moldagem por compressão a 180°C, obtendo-se placas com dimensões de 400x400mm e espessura de 4 mm, as quais, foram caracterizadas e avaliadas em testes de absorção de calor, tração, flexão, dureza e densidade. Os resultados indicaram potencial de aplicação no sistema de aquecimento solar de água devido aos resultados de absorção térmica. Também, a utilização do negro de fumo como fase dispersa mostrou-se uma grande contribuição para as características mecânicas do material. Outro importante resultado diz respeito a possibilidade de se estar usando um polímero reciclado e um resíduo industrial gerado em grande quantidade, tal como é o pó de fumo, na produção das placas caracterizando assim um ganho ambiental.

O reparo em resina composta é um procedimento clínico viável e que possibilita a remoção da parte comprometida da restauração sem a necessidade de substituição completa da mesma, e, portanto, possibilitando a preservação de estrutura dental sadia. A decisão por manter parte da restauração e o protocolo clínico do reparo devem ser cuidadosamente avaliados e executados a fim de aumentar a previsibilidade do procedimento. A união entre a superfície da restauração antiga e a resina composta a ser adicionada baseiam-se na ligação química e mecânica entre esses compósitos. O preparo micromecânico do compósito em associação ao condicionamento com ácido fosfórico e uso de resina fluida a fim de melhorar o molhamento da superfície aumentam a resistência de união e eficiência do procedimento. Este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever a técnica de reparo realizada em um dente posterior, que possui uma restauração de resina composta parcialmente insatisfatória, descrevendo o protocolo clínico, as vantagens e limitações da técnica.

Published: June 2016

Objetivo: Relatar um caso clínico de lesões cutâneas e intraorais na paracoccidioidomicose generalizada. Descrição do caso: Paciente do sexo masculino, 44 anos, apresentando perda de peso havia 4 meses, tosse e febre frequente, com hipótese diagnóstica de tuberculose, procurou atendimento odontológico por conta de lesão bucal ulcerada assintomática de aspecto granulomatoso. O paciente apresentava marcha lenta, sinais de debilidade orgânica e fraqueza, além de uma lesão descamativa em sobrancelha esquerda. Após avaliação de exames de imagem, sorológicos e hematológicos, optou-se pela realização da biópsia incisional da lesão a nível ambulatorial. O laudo histopatológico das colorações em H/E e a Histoquímica em Grocott tiveram diagnóstico conclusivo para paracoccidioidomicose. Devido à debilidade do paciente, o mesmo foi encaminhado para tratamento a nível hospitalar no Departamento de Medicina Tropical do Hospital Professor Edgar Santos da Universidade Federal da Bahia. Atualmente encontra-se sem lesões, porém ainda continua em tratamento. Conclusão: A paracoccidioidomicose é uma micose sistêmica grave, que representa um sério problema em países da America Latina, principalmente o Brasil. É necessário que os profissionais estejam atentos as características clínicas da doença para um correto diagnóstico e encaminhamento para instituição do tratamento adequado. A participação do Cirurgião-Dentista e do Estomatologista é de suma importância para estabelecimento do diagnóstico diferencial desta lesão e encaminhamento para o centro médico especializado, sempre mantendo contato com os profissionais envolvidos no tratamento.

Published: June 2016

A reabilitação de dentes que foram perdidos por cáries ou fraturas em indivíduos jovens revela-se um desafio, sobretudo para os indivíduos economicamente desfavorecidos, pois as formas convencionais de reabilitação como as próteses fixas ou removíveis e as próteses sobre implantes apresentam alto custo. Um tratamento alternativo para a reposição dos dentes comprometidos é o transplante dentário. O transplante dentário demonstra-se como uma opção viável, principalmente por ser uma técnica relativamente simples, de baixo custo e pode ser realizada pelo cirurgião-dentista em centros especializados de odontologia. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é revisar a literatura a cerca do transplante dentário e discutir a viabilidade do uso desta técnica como alternativa terapêutica para reabilitação de crianças e adolescentes assistidos pelos serviços públicos de saúde. Materiais e mé- todo: Foi realizada uma busca nas bases bibliográficas Pubmed, Bireme, Lilacs e Scielo, com temas relacionados a reabilitação oral em jovens. Conclusão: O transplante dentário, mostra-se como uma técnica eficaz e economicamente viável ao SUS.

The aim of the study is to describe in detail the beginnings of the Hungarian University of Economics, or the Karl Marx University of Economics in Budapest established in 1948 as the first Marxist university in Hungary. The study is based especially on the research in the State Archives of the Hungarian National Archives in Budapest and in the Archives of the Corvinus University of Budapest in the frame of broad research on the beginnings and the development of higher education of economic disciplines in the Central Europe. The study presents the initial period of the first separate economic university in Hungary on the background of the Hungarian Working People’s Party to get the higher education in country under its control. It is also summarized the original organizational structure of the Budapest’s University of Economics and its staff structure controlled by the Hungarian Working People’s Party as a party gradually taking over the country’s political power into its own hands at the turn of 1948 and 1949.
Arreglos Parentales de Varones Gay en la Ciudad de México: De la paternidad Negada a la Transformación Inadvertida del Cuidado
Authors: Laguna-Maqueda Oscar Emilio
Published: June 2016

Diversos fenómenos, resultado de las luchas feministas y de la liberación homosexual, son observables actualmente. Uno de ellos, son los arreglos parentales que configuran los padres gay, quienes con su mera existencia cuestionan la supuesta universalidad de la noción de “familia”. Los hombres homosexuales cuando acceden a la crianza y cuidado de infantes, ya sea de manera biológica, legal o social, no buscan reconfigurar la idea de familia ni crear prácticas de cuidado novedosas, pues lo que desean es configurar un entorno semejante a aquél en el que vivieron y crecieron; sin embargo el hecho de acceder a un arreglo del cual se les ha excluido e invisibilizado tiene implicaciones, pues trastoca los lineamientos de la heteronormatividad, además que sus estrategias para combatir la homofobia y disminuir los riesgos contra sus hijos impactan en el ejercicio del cuidado, por lo que realizan cambios inadvertidos en dicha práctica generizada.
Anticipating Fatherhood: “She is the One who is Pregnant”
Authors: Herrera Florencia , Pavicevic Yanko
Published: June 2016

This article seeks to understand how men that are going to become fathers for the first time in Chile, anticipate fatherhood. To achieve this purpose, 14 men that were close to having their first child were interviewed. Three topics are studied in depth: 1. The expectations surrounding fatherhood, 2. The masculine experiences of pregnancy and 3. The experiences surrounding antenatal health care. The men want to be involved and caring fathers, but still consider that their primary role is to provide. They are very conscious of the protagonism that pregnancy gives to their couples and see themselves as companions in the process. They feel their couples have a physical and direct relationship with their future child, while they can only have an indirect experience mediated by the female body and technology. They value the moments in which they have been able to ‘feel’ the baby (listen to its heartbeats, see it in ultrasounds, feel its movements). They believe it is natural that their couples are the center of attention during prenatal checkups, but some feel patronized by the healthcare professionals. The men perceive the process of waiting for the baby as profoundly differentiated by gender.

Resumen

Introducción. En las dos últimas décadas se han multiplicado las publicaciones científicas que cuestionan la definición médica tradicional de la obesidad por haberse centrado en el tejido adiposo (menos inerte y más interconectado con los demás tejidos de lo que se pensaba), y en un modelo patogénico heredado del siglo XIX que reducía el problema a un mero desequilibrio entre la incorporación y el gasto de energía, todo ello vagamente modulado por factores que se analizaban como variables secundarias: psicosociales y neuroendocrinas.

Objetivo. Relacionar la psicopatología y la obesidad, dando prioridad a los puntos de vista emocional y de comportamiento como focos para descomponer al grupo de obesos en perfiles emocional-conductuales que requerirían tratamientos diferenciales.

Método. Se presentan datos descriptivos de los 180 primeros pacientes incluidos del programa de Estudio de los Aspectos Emocionales del Sobrepeso y la Obesidad del Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor en Madrid; se realizó una entrevista semi-estructurada y una batería de test psicométricos; se presentan datos descriptivos y un análisis de asociación entre Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) y ansiedad o depresión.

Resultados. La mayoría de los pacientes tienen alta puntuación en psicopatología; el 80.9% tenía sintomatología depresiva importante, el 56.39% tenía elevada ansiedad-rasgo, el 48.26% tenía elevada ansiedad-estado, el 24.4% cumplía criterios de trastorno por atracones y el 11.9% de bulimia nerviosa (BN); un 17.3% tenía criterios de trastorno por estrés postraumático.

Discusión y conclusión. Nuestros resultados apoyan la asociación esencial entre obesidad y psicopatología.
