Was it you who died, or your brother?
Authors: Baldwin Hannah
Published: February 2019

This paper seeks to apply Christie Davies’ target theory to the classical jokebook Philogelos and more specifically, its most common protagonist, the scholastikos, whose central flaw is stupidity caused by his inability to interact with material reality, similar to modern “dotty professor” jokes. This paper seeks to build a model of how scholastikos jokes work, how the stereotype is constructed and perpetuated, how this differs from other “stupid” stereotypes used elsewhere in the Philogelos (largely ethnic-based stereotypes), and possible social and cultural anxieties bound up in the character of the scholastikos. It will explore the relationship between ancient and modern targets in light of Christie Davies’ target theory and extend this model of how humour functions to transhistorical case studies.
“I am I”: Self-constructed transgender identities in internet-mediated forum communication
Authors: Webster Lexi
Published: February 2019

This article analyses identity constructions and representations of self-identifying transgender individuals on a web-based forum. Although the forum is aimed towards all transgender users, the primary user-group are transfeminine users (intending on) undergoing medico-surgical interventions to align their physiology and identity. The data for this analysis are initial text posts from the forum board used for introductions (i.e. new users of the forum introducing themselves). The article assumes that introductions are the context in which one asserts key identity features; hence, this board is the most pertinent for analysing identity construction. In this article, I use a combination of corpus linguistics and Critical Discourse Studies tools to analyse the use of pronouns and gender-indexical nouns in identity constructions and the representation of social categorisations. This article is an attempt to demonstrate that transgender is not a collective homogeneous identity, and that gender-sex incongruence may not be a salient identity feature for some forum-users. I also examine the ideologies (re)produced in the local forum-communication discourse, and the evaluation of hegemonic practices within transgender discourse and wider gender discourse to further demonstrate the heterogeneity of transgender identity.
Experimental and simulation studies on the mold replicability in the thermoforming process
Authors: Namdari Navid , Mosaddegh Peiman
Published: February 2019

In the precision thermoforming process, one of the main drawbacks occurs in the profile deviation of the produced part. In this study, the effect of different thermoforming process parameters on the mold replicability of a high impact polystyrene container produced by vacuum forming and drape forming processes has been experimentally and numerically investigated. According to experimental results, in the drape forming process, when the initial sheet thickness increases, the part will have higher mold replicability, whereas in the vacuum forming process, by increasing the initial sheet thickness, the mold replicability increases and reaches its peak, then decreases. The results also indicate that both temperature and vacuum pressure exhibit the most significant effect on mold replicability of the part. Furthermore, the finite element method is utilized by the implementation of a fully thermomechanically coupled hyperviscoelastic constitutive model in ABAQUS 6.13. By using this material model, it is possible to compare the sensitivity of the output (mold replicability of the part) to the changes in the range of the process parameters. The simulation results verified by the experimental data and the hyperviscoelastic model showed to be an outstanding and stable platform for the process simulation.

Published: February 2019

Thermische Effekte limitieren die Leistungsskalierbarkeit in Hochleistungsscheibenlasern und können durch konstruktive Maßnahmen nur bedingt reduziert werden. Ein neuartiger Ansatz zur Kompensation der thermisch induzierten Effekte wird durch den resonatorinternen Einsatz hochleistungstauglicher adaptiver Spiegel ermöglicht. In diesem Beitrag werden hierfür zwei mögliche Technologien vorgestellt und charakterisiert: Während pneumatisch aktuierte Flächenlastspiegel eine gezielte Kompensation bekannter Wellenfrontstörungen erlauben, bieten optisch adressierte deformierbare Spiegel die Möglichkeit nahezu arbiträre Deformationen zu realisieren. Jene Bauform nutzt thermoelastische Effekte infolge der lokalen Erwärmung des Spiegels um gewünschte Deformationen zu erzielen.
Theoretical Prediction on the Structural, Electronic, Mechanical, and Thermodynamic Properties of TaSi2 with a C40 Structure Under Pressure
Authors: Zhu HuaJun , Yang Tao , Zhou Yang , Hua SuDong , Yang JinWen
Published: February 2019

The structural parameters, electronic structures, and mechanical and thermodynamic properties of TaSi2 under different pressures have been completely explored by a combination of density functional theory and quasi-harmonic Debye model. Results show that our computed structural parameters and elastic constants are in consistency with available experimental findings and previous theoretical calculations. The electronic structures of TaSi2 under different pressures including band structures and density of states are reported. It turns out that TaSi2 should be metallic. The elastic constants Cij
, bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E, Poisson’s ratio ν, B/G, Debye temperature θ, and wave velocities under pressures are also evaluated successfully. The calculated Cij
obeys the Born–Huang stability criterion, which demonstrates that TaSi2 is mechanically stable under different pressures. More interestingly, the three-dimensional surface constructions and projections of E and B under different pressures are also systematically evaluated. With the increase of applied pressure, TaSi2 exhibits subtle anisotropy under zero pressure, and the anisotropy strengthened. Finally, the dependence of the thermodynamic properties on pressure/temperature is obtained and analyzed for the first time.
Experimental Study on Energy Consumption of Rock Cutting under Different Groove Geometry
Authors: Zhu Xiaohua , Deng Zilong , Liu Weiji
Published: February 2019

The Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) cutter is a kind of rock breaking tool that is widely used in oil and gas exploitation. PDC cutter directly contacts with the rock during the process of the rock cutting. Therefore, it is of great significance to investigate the rock breaking mechanism of the PDC cutter to improve the rock breaking efficiency. This article sets up a test bench of rock cutting, which consists of a single cutter, high-speed cameras, and several data collectors, to monitor the cutting force, mechanical specific energy, energy dissipation, and the chip formation process. The results show that a frequent fluctuation of the value of the tangential force is related to the fly leaping phenomenon and particle size of debris. The ratio coefficient of the cross section describes the relations of energy dissipation between different sections. While changing the distribution density of the PDC cutter on the drilling bit, a minimum value of rock-breaking specific work will appear, and the rock breaking efficiency can be improved. The arc length back virtual work and the virtual crushing work express the storage and release of rock internal energy, which can explain the fracture phenomenon from the aspect of energy dissipation.

Published: February 2019

Methadone is a controlled drug and can be prescribed by an authorized person in charge, under the direction of medical practitioners, for particular patients, to cure their addiction to opioid substances. The development and evaluation of a methadone dispenser present a prototype solution for solving the current manual methadone dispensing problems, which are prone to human error, with the implementation of the methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) program at the same time to increase public awareness about this program. In the current study, the performance of a methadone dispenser is evaluated by investigating the simulation analysis, feasibility, and efficiency of the device as compared to the manual technique. For testing purposes, methadone syrup was replicated with sugar solution of 66.6 g/50 mL at 25°C with a dynamic viscosity of 36.680 mPa.s. Thus, it was quantified that the time taken to dispense the sugar solution by using the methadone dispenser has shown a significant improvement of 81.40 % time reductions as compared to the manual technique. The low repeatability percentage of the methadone dispenser by 1.64 % contributes to a high precision device that is reliable enough to be implemented in the MMT program with a dispensing accuracy increment of 3.87 %, as compared to the manual technique. The findings suggest that the methadone dispenser is reliable and feasible and contributes to error reduction for implementation in the MMT program with approximately ≈ 97 % efficiency.

Authors: Chen Xudong , Shi Dandan , Li Shengtao , Fan Xiangqian , Lu Jun
Published: February 2019

Under seismic action, concrete can be considered to be subjected to multistage constant cyclic loads. Moreover, the failure of concrete is predominantly manifested in cracking caused by tension. This article studies the dynamic mechanical properties of concrete specimens under direct cyclic tension. According to the experimental results, this article discusses selections of damage parameters and the establishment of the evolution model on the basis of elastic modulus degradation and plastic strain accumulation. According to reasonable damage parameters, the damage evolution mechanism is investigated to propose a modified model, by which the failure process and the fatigue life of concrete under cyclic loading can be predicted. Additionally, the proposed damage evolution model is used to analyze the experimental data of the related literature and this study, which both turn out a good match in the prediction.
Pore Size Distribution, Compressibility, and Strain Kinetics upon Exposure to Methane of Four Bituminous Coal Specimens from Kaiping Basin, China
Authors: Zhu Jie , Zhang Bo , Zhang Yang , Jiang Yaodong
Published: February 2019

Gas migration through coal matrix and cleats not only includes gas sorption and desorption but also leads to coal strain development. In this article, a series of experiments were carried out to investigate the strain development in four unconfined bituminous coal samples exposed to methane at various pressures. The dominant factors for sorption/desorption-induced deformation were associated with pore characteristics. Pore size distribution for all samples was determined by mercury intrusion porosimetry, nitrogen adsorption, and carbon dioxide adsorption techniques. The results show that there were differences in the pore surface area, pore shape, and pore size distribution of coal samples. Coal swelled when methane was injected and shrank when gas was released. The coal radial strains were always larger than axial strains at adsorption and desorption phases because the samples were drilled along coal cleat. The residual strain remaining after the adsorption–desorption cycle may be positive or negative. The strains of coal samples were different even with the same injected gas pressure. The total pore volume is not a dominant factor for sorption/desorption strain and rate. The pore size distribution and pore type also should be comprehensively considered.
Spatial Data Indexing and Query Processing in GeoCloud
Authors: Shankar Karthi , Sevugan Prabu
Published: February 2019

GeoCloud is essential for spatial data management. This article depicts GeoCloud and SpatialHadoop, both of which are developed for spatial information, indexing, and query processing. It contains traditional spatial indexing that comprises R-tree, Hilbert R-tree, and improved Bloom filter tree. We enhance the query search by utilizing Spatial Join, Range Query, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), and Max k-NN queries. By doing so, we implement the data structures and query evaluation performance of different spatial datasets in GeoCloud instances with SpatialHadoop. We show that our proposed system is more efficient in terms of data storage and retrieval in GeoCloud.
Priming of Adult Incision Response by Early-Life Injury: Neonatal Microglial Inhibition Has Persistent But Sexually Dimorphic Effects in Adult Rats
Authors: Moriarty Orla , Tu YuShan , Sengar Ameet S. , Salter Michael W. , Beggs Simon , Walker Suellen M.
Published: February 2019

Neonatal hindpaw incision primes developing spinal nociceptive circuitry, resulting in enhanced hyperalgesia following reinjury in adulthood. Spinal microglia contribute to this persistent effect, and microglial inhibition at the time of adult reincision blocks the enhanced hyperalgesia. Here, we pharmacologically inhibited microglial function with systemic minocycline or intrathecal SB203580 at the time of neonatal incision and evaluated sex-dependent differences following adult reincision. Incision in adult male and female rats induced equivalent hyperalgesia and spinal dorsal horn expression of genes associated with microglial proliferation (Emr1) and transformation to a reactive phenotype (Irf8). In control adults with prior neonatal incision, the enhanced degree and duration of incision-induced hyperalgesia and spinal microglial responses to reincision were equivalent in males and females. However, microglial inhibition at the time of the neonatal incision revealed sex-dependent effects: the persistent mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia following reincision in adulthood was prevented in males but unaffected in females. Similarly, reincision inducedEmr1andIrf8gene expression was downregulated in males, but not in females, following neonatal incision with minocycline. To evaluate the distribution of reincision hyperalgesia, prior neonatal incision was performed at different body sites. Hyperalgesia was maximal when the same paw was reincised, and was increased following prior incision at ipsilateral, but not contralateral, sites, supporting a segmentally restricted spinal mechanism. These data highlight the contribution of spinal microglial mechanisms to persistent effects of early-life injury in males, and sex-dependent differences in the ability of microglial inhibition to prevent the transition to a persistent pain state span developmental stages.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTFollowing the same surgery, some patients develop persistent pain. Contributory mechanisms are not fully understood, but early-life experience and sex/gender may influence the transition to chronic pain. Surgery and painful procedural interventions in vulnerable preterm neonates are associated with long-term alterations in somatosensory function and pain that differ in males and females. Surgical injury in neonatal rodents primes the developing nociceptive system and enhances reinjury response in adulthood. Neuroimmune interactions are critical mediators of persistent pain, but sex-dependent differences in spinal neuroglial signaling influence the efficacy of microglial inhibitors following adult injury. Neonatal microglial inhibition has beneficial long-term effects on reinjury response in adult males only, emphasizing the importance of evaluating sex-dependent differences at all ages in preclinical studies.

Transparencia, buen gobierno y derecho de acceso a la información pública
Authors: Aba Catoira Ana
Published: February 2019

La publicidad tiene un efecto de legitimización y democratización del sistema, pues permite mantener a la ciudanía informada sobre los asuntos públicos para participar con libertad y responsabilidad y, en consecuencia, exigir rendición de cuentas a los cargos públicos. Estos objetivos de alto valor democrático obligan dentro de la cultura de transparencia a que los poderes públicos asuman obligaciones que los vinculen más allá de los principios de actuación. De ahí que la transparencia requiera unas obligaciones concretas y la regulación garantista de un derecho de acceso a la ciudadanía que le faculte para solicitar más informaciones que aquellas que responden al cumpliendo el principio de publicidad activa. Abordaremos los aspectos del derecho de acceso en la regulación dada por la ley estatal y en la LGT, poniendo el acento en los déficits y proponiendo soluciones.

Authors: Zavilopulo A. , Shpenik O.
Published: February 2019

The complete and dissociative ionizations of a 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride (C24H8O6, PTCDA) molecule in the gas phase have been studied, by using electron-impact mass spectrometry in an energy interval of 5–90 eV. The molecule is found to decay into the following fragment ions: the perylene core C20H8+ and its half C10H4+, as well as CO+, CO2+ , and O+ ions. The energy dependences of the cross-sections of the complete ionization of a PTCDA molecule and its fragment ions are analyzed. The energy of the complete ionization of a PTCDA molecule and the energies, at which its fragments appear, are determined. The temperature dependences of the formation of the most intensive fragment ions are measured, by using 80-eV electrons in a temperature interval of 320–500 K.
Collective Diffusion of Colloidal Particles in a Liquid Crystal
Authors: Lev B. I. , Zagorodny A. G.
Published: February 2019

The theory of collective diffusion effects in a system of colloidal particles in a liquid crystal is proposed. The specifics of diffusion which can be observed experimentally are described. The dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the temperature and particle density is found. It is shown that collective diffusion in a system of colloidal particles in a liquid crystal arises from the elastic distortion of the director field generating the interparticle interaction. The behavior of such diffusion is found to be nontrivial.

Published: February 2019

House burglary is a prevailing issue in Nigeria owing to the inefficiency of formal security institutions in dealing with incidences of urban household burglary. This study examines households and neighbourhoods’ responses to household burglary in Ibadan, Nigeria. In-depth interviews and household questionnaires were the primary data collection tools. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted while a multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 299 respondents. Analysis of Variance confirmed the research hypothesis which suggested that burglary crimes committed differ significantly among residential neighbourhoods (F=3.012). Burglary occurred mostly in houses that were accessed through footpaths. Furthermore, females reported witnessing burglaries more than males. Neighbourhood responses to burglary include the use of gates, private security outfits and local vigilante groups. Individual households relied on burglary proof windows and door; broken bottles and wire fencing for protection. The intensity of crime in suburban areas impacts residential relocation and property values. Neighbourhood planning and good housing design remain other means through which easy accessibility by burglars can be prevented.

Authors: Adama Unekwu Jonathan , Michell Kathy
Published: February 2019

This study examines the effects of adopting technological innovations on the social well-being of facilities management professionals. The paper takes the form of an in-depth literature review of peer-reviewed publications focused on the primary constructs of the study, namely: technological innovations in facilities management; the role of facilities management professionals; and, social sustainability in facilities management. The study found that the adoption of innovative technology has significant positive outcomes in the facilities management profession, but negatively affects the social well-being of the facilities management professionals. This paper provides the basis for the development of a social sustainability framework for the analysis of the impact of technological innovation on facilities management professionals. Further empirical study is needed to verify the findings. This review will sensitise facilities managers as it illustrates the impact of technological innovation beyond improved efficiency and service delivery by considering the facilities management profession as a whole.
Real Estate Knowledge and the Development of a Real Estate Curricula for African Universities
Authors: Mirembe Rachel , Viruly François
Published: February 2019

Real estate education across the globe has, at its core, certain universal and value-neutral skills and knowledge. This knowledge has developed over decades to reflect the functions of specific market structures which characterise real estate markets. Moreover, it is reflective of the maturity of real estate markets, and as such, the tools developed reflect specific market structures. Real estate analysts are becoming increasingly interested in real estate markets in emerging economies. The challenge facing these analysts is that the dominant real estate theory is based on mature markets within an industrialised context and therefore do not accurately reflect real estate markets in emerging economies. The generic context of real estate markets in emerging economies tends to be characterised by a dual economy, a lack of transparency in the markets, high levels of uncertainty and the existence of communal/customary and informal rights in the ownership of real estate. Hence, this study examines the real estate academic syllabus taught by universities in Sub-Saharan Africa. In doing so this ongoing research aims to assess and understand the differences that exist between the real estate programmes and examine the direction that these programmes could take in an emerging country context.
Maurice Ravel's dementia: the silence of a genius
Authors: Vitturi Bruno Kusznir , Sanvito Wilson Luiz
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Maurice Ravel is one of the most important French musicians. In the last years of his life, Ravel was victim of a dementia of uncertain etiology that caused aphasia, apraxia, agraphia and amusia. The artistic brain of the author of eternal musical compositions was progressively silenced due to his neurodegenerative disease. On the 90th anniversary of Boléro, this historical note revisits Ravel's case and discusses the relationship of his dementia to his artistic production. It illustrates the intimacy that can exist between art, music, creativity, and neurology.
The anticonvulsant effects of Ducrosia anethifolia (Boiss) essential oil are produced by its main component alpha-pinene in rats

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Ducrosia anethifolia has been recommended as a remedy for neurological disorders. However, the anticonvulsant effects of D. anethifolia essential oil (DAEO) and its major constituent α-pinene have not yet been clarified. Methods: A rat model of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced convulsions was used. Oxidant and antioxidant parameters were assayed in the temporal lobe. Results: The data showed that DAEO (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg, i.p.) and α-pinene (0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg i.p.) delayed the initiation time, and reduced the duration of myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures following PTZ injection. The PTZ produced oxidative stress so that malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide levels were increased and catalase and peroxidase activity decreased. Pretreatment with DAEO and α-pinene significantly inhibited the above-mentioned enzymatic changes in PTZ-treated animals. Conclusion: The results suggest that α-pinene, at teast in part, was responsible for the induction of the anticonvulsant and antioxidant effects of DAEO in rats.

Authors: Tekesin Aysel , Tunç Abdulkadir
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but serious cause of acute stroke. Inflammation is a hypothetical etiological factor in CVT. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate inflammatory marker levels in CVT patients and compare these with healthy individuals. Methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted with 36 newly-diagnosed CVT patients age- and sex-matched with 40 healthy individuals. The laboratory investigations included a serum hemogram, full biochemistry profiles, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-HDL cholesterol ratio (MHR) values were calculated and compared between the patients and healthy participants. Results: The mean age was 41.4 ± 11.8 years for patients, and 39.3 ± 12.5 for controls. Lymphocyte, total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, and HDL levels were significantly lower in CVT patients (p < 0.05), while CRP, and ESR values were significantly higher. In the CVT patients the mean NLR and PLR values were significantly higher than in the control individuals. Smoking rates, alcohol consumption, white blood cell, neutrophil, platelet, and MHR values were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: We suggest that NLR, PLR, CRP, ESR, and bilirubin can be used in clinical practice for prediction of CVT in suspected patients as they are inexpensive parameters and widely available. However, further large-scale studies are required to confirm this relationship.
Migraine treatment: the doors for the future are open, but with caution and prudence
Authors: Krymchantowski Abouch V. , Krymchantowski Ana Gabriela Ferreira , Jevoux Carla da Cunha
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Migraine is a burdensome disorder. Current treatments are far from ideal. Recent knowledge has been indicating targets whose antagonism may improve efficacy. It is particularly true with the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and the monoclonal antibodies anti-CGRP can interfere with this pathway and decrease the frequency of migraine attacks. Erenumab, fremanezumab and galcanezumab have recently been approved and eptinezumab is likely to be, soon. Although efficacy figures were not spectacular, tolerability and potential higher adherence were noteworthy. However, caution must be exercised. The time frame after the studies was limited to three years and dose administration was restricted to three-monthly doses. The CGRP is present throughout the human body and migraine is a life-long disease, often requiring treatment for decades. It is not known whether this favorable profile can be maintained or will be safe in pregnant women or adolescents. In addition, there were deaths during the studies, which may have happened without a clear relationship. New treatments are welcome, but caution is warranted.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é interpretar a reconstrução das identidades dos alunos do Colégio Estadual do Campo (CEC) Adélia Rossi Arnaldi, de Paranavaí-PR, oriundos do meio rural, diante das diversas socializações a que foram submetidos. O aporte teórico foi realizado a partir das contribuições de Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) dos conceitos de habitus, campo e da reprodução das condições sociais, e o entendimento de ideologia segundo Louis Althusser (1918-1990). Utilizamos nesta pesquisa depoimentos coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e de narrativa, submetidas à análise do discurso de Michel Pêcheux (1938-1983). Constatamos neste estudo que a escola, mesmo sendo constituída como do campo, impõe aos alunos práticas carregadas de ideologia urbana, que são assimiladas por eles e reconstroem as identidades no convívio em família no espaço rural.
Costureiras, mucamas, lavadeiras e vendedoras: O trabalho feminino no século XIX e o cuidado com as roupas (Rio de Janeiro, 1850-1920)
Authors: Monteleone Joana de Moraes
Published: February 2019

Resumo: O trabalho assalariado feminino se transforma no século XIX, enquanto se desenvolve o capitalismo. Se, por um lado as mulheres passam a ser vistas como consumidoras de mercadorias, por outro esse consumo dá início a uma série de transformações nas suas vidas. As mulheres passam a sair da casa para comprar, em especial, roupas. A indústria de confecção, que começa a partir de pequenos ateliês, abre espaço para novos tipos de trabalho feminino remunerados: vendedoras, costureiras, fazedoras de chapéus. Multiplicam-se os trabalhos femininos no cuidado com a roupa e no vestir-se das mulheres de elite.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this work was to conduct a temporal evaluation of incidence of rot base and sanitary severity, and to relate the impact on the seed pathology of common bean cultivars. In the 2015-2016 harvest, in the city of Ipameri, Goiás, ten cultivars of common bean were evaluated (BRS Estilo©, BRS Pérola©, IPR Tangará©, IPR Tuiuiú©, IPR Uirapuru©, IAC Milênio©, Imperador©, IAC F3 R2©, IAC OTG© and IPR Campos Gerais©) and distributed into five blocks, totaling 40 experimental units. The incidence of wilt and base rot and sanitary severity were analyzed by taking ten random samples per block at 21, 28, 56, 63 and 69 days after planting. At the end of 120 days, a total of 20 plants were harvested per cultivar, and 250 seeds were harvested for application of the Blotter Test method. From 21 to 69 days after planting, the cultivars BRS Pérola© and IPR Campos Gerais© deserve to be highlighted for presenting the lowest incidence of wilt in the reproductive and vegetative cycles. The cultivar BRS Pérola© showed the lowest incidence of wilt and sanitary severity. In the analysis of harvested seeds, the cultivar BRS Pérola© presented high physiological quality for all evaluated parameters. On the other hand, Cramberry (OTG)© showed low physiological potential in germination and vigor tests.

RESUMO: Identificar a influência dos fatores socioeconômicos, dos cuidados e da alimentação sobre o estado nutricional infantil são importantes para avaliação e direcionamento de políticas públicas baseadas em intervenções nutricionais. Foram investigados os fatores sociodemográficos e biológicos associados à saída de crianças da faixa de baixo peso-para-idade (escore z de peso-para-idade < -2), nas idades de 6 a 23 meses, durante sua participação em programa de suplementação alimentar (PSA). Trata-se de estudo de coorte com 327 crianças de baixa renda residentes no interior do estado de São Paulo, que ingressaram no PSA aos 6 meses de idade com baixo peso-para-idade. A variável dependente foi “permanecer com baixo peso-para-idade durante a participação no programa” (dicotômica), e as independentes referem-se a: 1) características maternas: condição conjugal, escolaridade, idade, situação de trabalho; 2) características das crianças: estar desmamada, sexo, peso ao nascer e idade nas pesagens. Foram realizadas modelagens com regressão logística múltipla multinível. Maior idade da criança na pesagem (OR = 1,20; IC95% 1,08 - 1,34; p = 0,001), maior peso ao nascer (OR = 1,0011; IC95% 1,0001 - 1,0019; p = 0,022) e estar desmamada ao ingressar (OR = 0,20; IC95% 0,08 - 0,52; p = 0,001) se associaram positivamente ao ganho de peso das crianças. Ações focadas na promoção do peso adequado ao nascer e do aleitamento materno e na introdução adequada e oportuna da alimentação complementar saudável são estratégias importantes para maximizar o efeito de PSA no ganho de peso nos primeiros dois anos de vida em crianças de famílias de baixa renda.

Abstract Introduction: The identification of older adults who present greater chances of falling is the first step in the prevention of falls. Clinical instruments have been shown to be able to differentiate fallers from non-fallers, but their predictive validity remains controversial. Objective: To investigate the accuracy of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Quick Screen Clinical Fall Risk Assessment (QuickScreen) instruments to identify risk of falls in community-dwelling older adults. Method: This is a prospective methodological study with 81 older adults (≥ 60 years), assessed at baseline by SPPB and QuickScreen and monitored after one year to identify the occurrence of falls. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and area under the ROC curve (AUC) were calculated. Results: 28.4% of the sample reported falls. QuickScreen presented 52.2% sensitivity, 74.1% specificity, 44.4% PPV, 79.6% NPV and 0.656 AUC. The AUC for SPPB was not significant (p = 0.087). Conclusion: QuickScreen presented poor accuracy when predicting falls and SPPB was unable to identify community-dwelling older adults at risk of falls. The QuickScreen instrument stood out for its high potential to identify true negatives.
Conflitos fundiários urbanos e a ocupação “Pinheirinho”: acesso à moradia e remoção forçada

Published: February 2019

Resumo Aprofundando a discussão acerca dos direitos à cidade, especificamente o direito à moradia adequada, neste estudo é retratado um emblemático exemplo de conflito fundiário urbano, representado pela ocupação de terreno ocioso. Empregou-se o método qualitativo, compondo uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva da problemática abordada. Descreve-se a destinação conferida a uma área conhecida popularmente como “Pinheirinho”, gleba localizada na região sul da cidade de São José dos Campos/SP, a qual permaneceu inutilizada por 30 anos, até ser ocupada por 1.789 famílias em 2004. São apresentadas as repercussões concernentes à segregação socioespacial após o processo de reintegração de posse da área, ocorrido em 2012, além da demonstração da resiliência dos ocupantes em permanecer no local, com um histórico dos acontecimentos e da trajetória dos moradores. Indiferente ao fato de consolidada a ocupação em um terreno em descumprimento à função social da propriedade, com dívidas perante o poder público municipal, os interesses individuais de propriedade foram resguardados em detrimento do bem-estar da coletividade no processo de desocupação do Pinheirinho, de tal maneira que a ocupação irregular por parte de uma população em situação de vulnerabilidade social foi tolerada por 8 anos.
Gestión de cuencas metropolitanas. Un abordaje desde el proyecto de paisaje. Caso: Arroyo del Gato, Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires
Authors: Rotger Daniela
Published: February 2019

Resumen Históricamente la gestión de cuencas en la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (RMBA) ha carecido de un enfoque ambiental integral en el que ríos y arroyos puedan ser valorados desde su potencial ecológico y paisajístico. En este sentido, podría contribuir la idea de paisaje que, difundida desde el continente europeo a inicios del siglo XXI y desde una mirada que integra naturaleza y cultura, se articula con el ordenamiento del territorio; orientación que ha sido explorada en la tesis doctoral “Paisaje fluvial en la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Valoración e Intervención en la Cuenca del Arroyo del Gato, Gran La Plata”. El presente artículo deriva de esta tesis, y su objetivo principal es indagar en las posibilidades de inserción del proyecto de paisaje como herramienta flexible dentro del ordenamiento territorial de las cuencas de la RMBA, mediante el desarrollo de un caso: un parque fluvial proyectado en la cuenca del arroyo del Gato, cuenca que cumple la generalidad de características del sistema hidrográfico metropolitano. Desde el punto de vista metodológico se trabaja, por una parte, sobre el análisis de las aproximaciones que permiten construir herramientas para el abordaje del proyecto de paisaje en las cuencas de la RMBA, y, por otra parte, sobre el análisis del caso. Se entiende que el enfoque proyectual del paisaje puede colaborar hacia una concepción de las cuencas como unidades sintéticas del ambiente, impulsando el tratamiento integral de sus problemáticas.

RESUMO Objetivo Descrever as queixas e alterações auditivas em indivíduos com esclerose sistêmica (ES), bem como verificar a evolução do quadro audiológico. Método Trata-se de estudo seccional, com uma fase prospectiva, realizado no período de 2012 e 2015, com pacientes com diagnóstico médico de ES. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos, ano de início da doença, ano de diagnóstico e subtipo da enfermidade. Posteriormente, foram realizadas a anamnese audiológica, para identificação de queixas e sintomas e para a investigação de realização de audiometria pregressa ao estudo, e, em seguida, a avaliação audiológica básica. Resultados Participaram do estudo 50 indivíduos. Tontura e zumbido foram os sintomas mais frequentes. A perda auditiva foi identificada em 23 (46%) indivíduos, sendo a maioria do tipo sensorioneural, de grau e configurações variáveis. A análise dos limares auditivos obtidos na avaliação audiológica realizada em 2012 e, posteriormente, em 2015 indicou desencadeamento ou progressão da perda auditiva, com piora de 10dB na maioria das frequências avaliadas, sendo mais expressiva nas frequências agudas. Conclusão Elevada frequência de queixas e alterações auditivas em indivíduos com ES e desencadeamento e/ou progressão da perda auditiva naqueles que realizaram avaliação audiológica sequencial.
