Empathy, Psychic Unity, Anger, and Shame
Authors: Burbank Victoria K.
Published: May 2018

Psychic unity is a fraught concept in anthropology and related fields, yet, I argue, even those of us who doubt the existence of a shared human nature carry an expectation of it into the field. Empathy, which necessarily depends on a degree of psychic unity, has long been a critical tool for doing ethnography though our recognition of this fact comes and goes in the anthropological canon. In this experientialist approach to personhood, set in the changed and changing environment of the remote Australian Aboriginal community of Numbulwar, I draw on emotion talk to explore my intuition that, in spite of our differences, the women I know there and I are very much alike. In this effort, I am guided by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s ideas about primary metaphors and the bodily experiences that underlie them. I focus on an Aboriginal woman’s experience of anger and shame, and on why I think I can understand both what is said and something of the experience behind what is being said. I also, however, consider arguments that shared experience is necessary to the ethnographic project.
China's Stefan Zweig
Authors: Hoefle Arnhilt Johanna
Published: May 2018

How can one author be among the most bitterly rejected writers in one cultural context, while being one of the most celebrated in another? For decades, the works of the Austrian-Jewish writer Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) have been fiercely attacked by critics and scholars in Europe and North America who questioned their literary value and naïve Habsburg nostalgia. Yet in other parts of the world, such as in China, Zweig’s works have enjoyed not only continued admiration but also truly exceptional influence, popularity, and even canonical status. China’s Stefan Zweig unveils the extraordinary success story of Zweig’s novellas in China, from the first translations in the 1920s, shortly after the collapse of the Chinese Empire, through the Mao era to the contemporary People’s Republic. Extensive research in China has unearthed a wealth of hitherto unexplored Chinese-language sources which evidence that Zweig has been read in an entirely different way there. Traversing a truly global system of cultural transfer and several intermediary spaces, Zweig’s works have been selected and employed for very different literary and ideological purposes throughout turbulent times in China. Declared to be a powerful critic of bourgeois society, the Chinese way of reading Zweig reveals important new perspectives on one of the most successful and, at the same time, most misunderstood European writers of the twentieth century.
Outlook
Authors: Hoefle Arnhilt Johanna
Published: May 2018

In March 2005, a film adaptation of Zweig’s Letter from an Unknown Woman by the accomplished actress and director Xu Jinglei was released in China. In fall 2013 the same novella by Zweig was adapted into an experimental play by the acclaimed avant-garde dramatist Meng Jinghui. To conclude the book, this outlook introduces these two works as examples of new and creative practices of cultural transfer. They testify to the continuity of Zweig’s success in China until today and show how discourses on the “Zweig-style female figures” have become an established site where notions of femininity are debated, reflecting and critically commenting on the new dynamics and pressures on Chinese society in the new millennium.

Published: May 2018

This study investigated the comparative phytotoxcity effect of heavy metal contamination on Jatropha curcas, Jatropha gossypifolia and Jatropha multifida in contaminated soil from a dump site in Ibadan Nigeria. Seeds of J. curcas, J. gossypifolia and J. multifida were planted in a germination tray and later transplanted into polythene pots filled with 2kg of either control soil or heavy metal contaminated soil, a 3 × 2 factorial experiment laid out in complete randomized design (CRD) replicated four times was adopted; treatments imposed include T1 – J. curcas/Control Soil, T2 – J. gossypifolia/Control Soil, T3 – J. multifida/Control Soil, T4 – J. curcas/Contaminated soil, T5 – J. gossypifolia/Contaminated Soil, and T6 – J. multifida/Contaminated Soil. Weekly variation in growth parameters: the plant height, leave production and stem diameter were measured over the course of 12 weeks. The growth parameters were dependent on a combination of both specie type and level of heavy metal contamination of soil. J. multifida (T3) (36.93cm) performed best, comparable with J. gossypifolia (T2) (34.1cm) after 12 weeks while J. multifida (T6) had the lowest mean plant height (7.23cm) which is not significantly (p<0.05) different from other species on the contaminated soil; for leave production, J. gossypifolia (T2) produced the highest mean number of leaves (9.67) which is comparable with J. multifida (T3) (9.00) and less so with J. curcas (T1) (6.67) with significant leave losses on the contaminated soils after 12 weeks; variation in stem diameter shows that J. curcas (T1) had the highest stem girth (1.96 mm) which is comparable to the value obtained for J. curcas (T4) (1.95mm), while J. multifida (T6) had the lowest stem girth (1.09 mm). J. gossypifolia (T2) and J. multifida (T3) had comparable stem girth of 1.57mm and 1.47mm respectively. Toxicity of heavy metals in the contaminated soil greatly affect the growth parameters of the Jatropha.

Authors: Osipov Vladimir
Published: May 2018

The relevance of this work is determined by the further development of the management system and its information support that improve the economic entity’s activity and increase the competitiveness. The goal of this research is to develop a method for the most optimal commodities assortment formation, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the enterprise in the existing production conditions. Previously applied methods were oriented only to one of the methods of determining the commodities assortment, which prevented managers from choosing the most optimal option. The method of the optimal commodities assortment formation was proposed for the first time in this article while comparing the methods of its determination on products profitability and the limiting factor. The object of research is resource consumption in relation to certain commodities assortment manufactured by the enterprise operating in the measuring devices production sector. The article is focused on the methods of the integrated management cost analysis aimed at implementing the concept of the most complete and timely information support for the resource consumption control and regulation. General scientific and special research methods are used for the purpose of its implementation. The use of special methods of economic analysis made it possible to develop the economic model of costs estimation in the process of the most optimal commodities assortment formation.Conclusions and results of the research show that the efficiency of the industrial enterprise largely depends on rational resource consumption. The successful solution of this task largely depends on the correct commodities assortment formation. In view of this, methods for determining the commodities assortment based on the analysis of its profitability and assessing the impact of the limiting factor, taking into account the full load capacity, are proposed to be used.

Authors: Myszczuk Ana Paula , Souza Andrea De
Published: May 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma breve análise acerca do planejamento da infraestrutura energética brasileira, das políticas públicas para o desenvolvimento econômico e para proteção do meio ambiente. Essa análise será realizada a partir da problemática do conflito existente nessas políticas públicas, que resulta numa dificuldade em se planejar eficientemente a expansão do setor energético, diminui a capacidade competitiva do país e não efetiva a proteção jurídica ao meio ambiente. Assim a pergunta norteadora será: como melhorar a eficiência dos ganhos econômicos e da proteção do meio ambiente no setor energético brasileiro, tendo em vista os conflitos existentes entre as políticas públicas para o desenvolvimento econômico e para a proteção do meio ambiente? Para tanto, serão abordados brevemente os marcos regulatórios de proteção do meio ambiente, o plano nacional de energia e os conflitos econômicos e socioambientais decorrentes do descompasso entre as políticas. Por fim, será proposto o uso de uma ferramenta que pode auxiliar na condução mais equilibrada e congruente das políticas públicas brasileira para o meio ambiente e desenvolvimento econômico, especialmente nas questões relacionadas ao planejamento da matriz energética, que é a utilização da metodologia de Avaliação Ambiental Estratégica (AAE). Considerando os objetivos propostos, a pesquisa será desenvolvida mediante pesquisa bibliográfica e documental.
As Tendências Históricas do Desenvolvimento Brasileiro e suas Relações com o Desenvolvimento Sócio Espacial Rural na região Fronteira Noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Machado José Tobias Marks , Filippi Eduardo Ernesto
Published: May 2018

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar as tendências de desenvolvimento experimentadas pelo Brasil, no período de 1822 a 2016, e situar os seus desdobramentos tanto sobre a agricultura de um modo mais amplo, como também sobre a evolução da agricultura na região da Fronteira Noroeste do estado Rio Grande do Sul. Para isso o trabalho se valeu da periodização dos três ciclos da sociedade e do Estado, proposta por Bresser-Pereira (2012). Há uma correspondência positiva entre os ciclos da sociedade e do Estado e as dinâmicas da agricultura, de forma que a última teve diferentes e variadas funções ao longo dos três ciclos e cinco pactos vivenciados pelo País. Tratando-se do período atual, embora a heterogeneidade da agricultura brasileira seja reconhecida, não há um projeto de desenvolvimento rural de longo prazo capaz de contemplar toda sua heterogeneidade. No que concerne à agricultura da região da Fronteira Noroeste, essa teve um desenvolvimento associado às dinâmicas gerais do centro. Porém, as mudanças ocorridas durante o pacto autoritário modernizante foram determinantes para a diferenciação da agricultura regional, e para imprimir a dinâmica que ainda à caracteriza no período atual.
Turismo e Desenvolvimento Sustentável: Uma Análise das Atividades Turísticas em uma Comunidade Pacificada do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Tenório Fernando Guilherme , Soares Vanessa Brulon , Barros Ana Clara Rodrigues , Gouveia Tânia Maria de Oliveira Almeida
Published: May 2018

Tendo em vista o potencial do turismo para levar ao desenvolvimento e a procura crescente por um turismo social, esse artigo tem por objetivo analisar o desenvolvimento da atividade turística em uma comunidade pacificada, a partir da perspectiva do desenvolvimento sustentável. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura que aborda a temática das favelas, a relação entre turismo e desenvolvimento, e a noção de desenvolvimento sustentável. Para a coleta de dados foram realizados dois grupos de discussão: um com moradores envolvidos com atividade turística dentro da comunidade em questão, o Morro do Cantagalo, no Rio de Janeiro; e outro com moradores que não têm este envolvimento. Foi realizada uma análise interpretativa dos dados, a partir de categorias de sustentabilidade desenvolvidas com base em Sachs (2009), que considera múltiplas dimensões do desenvolvimento sustentável, tais como: econômica, social, política, cultural, ecológica e territorial. Os resultados do estudo apontam que a realidade da comunidade tem sido alterada apenas no que diz respeito ao aspecto econômico de geração de renda, mas ainda assim, essa mudança só é percebida por aqueles moradores que possuem uma atividade profissional relacionada com o turismo na comunidade. Constata-se, portanto, uma deficiência no critério social da sustentabilidade, tendo em vista que a geração de renda decorrente das atividades turísticas não se dá de forma equânime, restringindo-se a alguns moradores.
O Futuro da Fumicultura: O Jovem Rural e o Dilema da Sucessão Geracional
Authors: Ramos Vanessa Souza de , Angnes Juliane Sachser , Costa Zoraide
Published: May 2018

O dilema da sucessão geracional na agricultura familiar tem sido amplamente discutido pelos teóricos acadêmicos, no entanto pouco se fala do jovem na cadeia produtiva do tabaco. Apesar do destaque na produção nacional do fumo, e da crescente onda de produtores derivada do aumento do preço do produto, a produção fumageira brasileira oriunda principalmente da agricultura familiar pode ter seus resultados afetados pela falta de uma nova geração de agricultores. Este artigo tem por objetivo trazer a luz os motivos que levam o jovem rural a abandonar o cultivo do fumo, para tanto tomou-se por base a perspectiva chayanoviana dos sistemas não capitalistas, bem como a dinâmica percebida no contexto nacional. Por meio de entrevistas centradas na abordagem qualitativa com jovens com idade entre 15 e 30 anos, de diferentes sexos e grau de escolaridade foi possível identificar os principais fatores que motivam o jovem a deixar o campo. Estes fatores foram divididos em duas categorias: contexto social e contexto econômico. Os resultados corroboram com visão de Chayanov (1985), onde a aversão a fumicultura se dá em decorrência da excruciante jornada de trabalho atribuída a cultura. Neste sentido o contexto social foi percebido com principal fator ao abandono da atividade fumageira. Evidenciou-se ainda que no contexto econômico há descrença por parte dos jovens de que agricultura de pequena escala tenha capacidade financeira de prover seu sustento no futuro.
Using the Mann–Kendall test and double mass curve method to explore stream flow changes in response to climate and human activities
Authors: Pirnia Abdollah , Golshan Mohammad , Darabi Hamid , Adamowski Jan , Rozbeh Sajad
Published: May 2018

Analyzing intra-annual stream flow can reveal the main causes for runoff changes and the contributions of climate variability and human activities. For this purpose, the Mann–Kendall and cumulative rank difference (CRD) tests, and the double mass curve method, were applied to a time series of hydro-meteorological variables from 1971 to 2010 in the Tajan River basin in Iran. Results indicated that runoff changes in the wet and dry seasons after 1999 had significant respective decreasing and increasing trends, at the 0.01 confidence level, due to dam construction. In the pre-dam period (1991–1998), the results of the double mass curve method showed that climate variability and human activities contributed 57.76% and 42.24%, respectively, to the runoff decrease during the wet season. For the post-dam period (1999–2010), climate variability and anthropogenic activities contributed 24.68% and 75.32%, respectively, to the wet season runoff decrease of 116.55 mm. On the other hand, in the same period during the dry season, climate variability contributed −30.68% and human activities contributed 130.68% to the runoff increase of 41.45 mm. It is evident that runoff changes in both wet and dry seasons were mainly due to human activities associated with dam construction to meet water supply demands for agriculture.

Published: May 2018

Background:

Low molecular weight 1,2,3-triazoles and naphthoquinones are endowed with various types of biological activity, such as against cancer, HIV and bacteria. However, in some cases, the conjugation of these two nuclei considerably increases their biological activities.

Objective:

In this work, we decided to study the synthesis and screening of bis-naphthoquinones and xanthenes tethered to 1,2,3-triazoles against cancer cell lines, specifically the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7.

Results:

Starting from lawsone and aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbaldehydes (10a-h) several new 7- (1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-6H-dibenzo[b,h]xanthene-5,6,8,13(7H)-tetraones (12a-h) and 3,3'- ((1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methylene)bis(2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-diones) 11a-h were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities using the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and the non-tumor cell line MCF10A as control. We performed test of cell viability, cell proliferation, intracellular ATP content and cell cytometry to determine reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation.

Conclusions:

Based on these results, we found that compound 12a promotes ROS production, interfering with energy metabolism, cell viability and proliferation, and thus promoting whole cell damage.

BACKGROUND

The Neurological Disorders in Central Spain, second survey (NEDICES-2) is a population-based, closed-cohort study that will include over 8000 subjects aged ≥55 years. It will also include a biobank.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to evaluate all major aspects of the NEDICES-2 (methods, database, screening instruments, and questionnaires, as well as interexpert rating of the neurological diagnoses) in each one of the planned areas (all of them in central Spain) and to test the possibility of obtaining biological samples from each participant.

METHODS

A selection of patients and participants of the planned NEDICES-2 underwent face-to-face interviews including a comprehensive questionnaire on demographics, current medications, medical conditions, and lifestyle habits. Biological samples (blood, saliva, urine, and hair) were also obtained. Furthermore, every participant was examined by a neurologist.

RESULTS

In this pilot study, 567 study participants were enrolled (196 from hospitals and 371 from primary care physician lists). Of these 567, 310 completed all study procedures (questionnaires and the neurological evaluation). The study was time-consuming for several primary care physicians. Hence, a few primary care physicians from some areas refused to participate, which led to a reconfiguration of study areas. In addition, the central biobank needed to be supplemented by the biobanks of local Spanish National Health System hospitals.

CONCLUSIONS

Population-based epidemiological surveys, such as the NEDICES-2, require a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of all aspects of a future field study (population selection, methods and instruments to be used, neurological diagnosis agreement, and data collection).

Published: May 2018

El texto busca rescatar la biografía y las obras hechas en México de un pintor olvidado en la historiografía sobre el tema. Ya sea que se le considere como un pintor expedicionario o un artista viajero, es poco lo que se sabía, hasta ahora, del francés Petros Pharamond Blanchard. No obstante, su trabajo es destacable por haber realizado una importante serie de tipos populares y escenas costumbristas, además de cuadros de batallas sobre la toma del puerto de Veracruz en 1838 y por haber escrito un libro sobre esta expedición, el cual contiene grabados sobre el paisaje mexicano.
Espacio, poder y gubernamentalidad. Arquitectura y urbanismo en la obra de Foucault
Authors: Urabayen Julia , León Casero Jorge
Published: May 2018

Según Foucault, mientras que en las sociedades disciplinares se “arqui-tecturizaba” modularmente el espacio físico de la ciudad como dispositivo panóptico de vigilancia y normalización de los individuos, las sociedades biopolíticas han desarrollado un doble dispositivo de gestión del riesgo. Por una parte, estadística y cartografía han construido tanto el nuevo objeto de gobierno (población) como el nuevo medio en el que actuar (territorio), entendiendo ambos como una matriz de datos geolocalizados. Por la otra, la función del arquitecto-urbanista ha dejado de ser la formalización panóptica del espacio para pasar a ser la adecuación socioterritorial del medio que promueva una autogestión productiva del espacio por parte de su propia población. La consecuencia del primer movimiento ha sido la proliferación de las smart cities. La del segundo, las políticas de regeneración urbana de la ocde y la ue. El presente artículo analiza este cambio gubernamental de gestión urbana y muestra los dispositivos de poder que yacen bajo los discursos de legitimación de las smart cities y el urbanismo participativo.

Relación entre propiedad intelectual, innovación y desarrollo: evidencias de datos de panel
Authors: Gómez-Valenzuela Víctor
Published: May 2018

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un análisis de datos de panel que explora la relación entre propiedad intelectual, innovación y desarrollo. Esta relación es abordada como una oportunidad para superar los desafíos que, en materia de crecimiento y desarrollo, tienen los países de renta media, como la República Dominicana. El panel de datos fue construido a partir de información procedente de distintas fuentes, desde 2005 hasta 2011. El análisis de los datos de panel se realizó en dos momentos: 1) mediante un análisis factorial de componentes principales, para definir los factores de mayor peso en la explicación de la varianza del panel de datos, y 2) utilizando el método de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios, para estimar la relación entre propiedad intelectual, innovación y desarrollo. Los resultados mostrados por los datos de panel destacan que los factores de capital humano, los sistemas de propiedad intelectual, como expresión del grado de desarrollo institucional de las economías, y el esfuerzo en producción de conocimiento e innovación son factores claves en el desempeño y en las dinámicas de crecimiento y desarrollo. Se concluye que el fortalecimiento institucional de los sistemas de propiedad intelectual como pilar de los sistemas de innovación, así como la inversión en ciencia, tecnología e innovación constituyen estrategias viables para promover el crecimiento económico y la salida de la trampa de los ingresos medios en economías como la de República Dominicana.

Autumn Raptor Migration in Yellowstone National Park, 2011–2015
Authors: Baril Lisa M. , Haines David B. , Walker Lauren E. , Smith Douglas W.
Published: May 2018

Raptors are wide-ranging, vagile avian predators whose populations can be difficult and costly to monitor on their breeding or winter range. However, monitoring raptors during their annual northbound or southbound migration is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to time-intensive, single-species breeding surveys. In 2010, we observed numerous Swainson’s Hawks (Buteo swainsoni) and Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) migrating through the Hayden Valley in central Yellowstone National Park, prompting an investigation into raptor migration patterns in the park. Our objectives were to monitor annual autumn raptor migration in Hayden Valley from 2011 to 2015 and to determine the relative role of this undocumented migration site by comparing our observations to simultaneously collected migration data from three other sites in the Rocky Mountain Flyway. From 2011 to 2015, we observed 6441 raptors of 17 species across 170 d and 907 h of observation. Red-tailed Hawks, Swainson’s Hawks, and Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) accounted for 51% of the total individuals observed over five years. Overall counts from Hayden Valley were comparable to counts from the three migration sites in the Rocky Mountains, although abundance of individual species varied by site. Data from this study suggest that Hayden Valley may serve as a stopover site for migrating raptors and presents an opportunity for future research. By improving our understanding of where raptors migrate and the characteristics of stopover areas in the Rocky Mountains, land managers may develop effective strategies for protecting raptor populations and habitat from threats including development and climate change.

Aims

Prior studies using stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), which examined the association between obstructive epicardial coronary disease and presence of myocardial ischemia did not provide a detailed assessment on a regional level. We examined this relationship in a large population of patients in whom the coronary anatomy was defined by invasive coronary angiography.

Methods

We retrospectively extracted details on individuals undergoing MPI with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) who had coronary angiography within 12 months. A 17-segment model for native coronary anatomy and a 7-region model for myocardial perfusion were used with a dedicated matching algorithm.

Results

A total of 2564 patients were included, yielding a total of 6279 stenoses matched with 17 948 myocardial regions. From such a cohort, 151 (5.9%) patients had normal perfusion, 1878 (73.2%) had myocardial ischemia (reversible defects), 260 (10.1%) had myocardial necrosis (scar or fixed defects), and 275 (10.7%) had ischemia and necrosis. At per-patient analysis, significant angiographic disease was more common in the ischemic group (prevalence between 69.6 and 80.0%) than other groups. At per-region analysis, abnormal perfusion in the coronary-specific regions varied depending on location of stenosis; it was 96% for left main disease, 81% for proximal left anterior descending disease, 85% for proximal left circumflex disease, and 82% for proximal right coronary artery disease and <60% for posterior descending artery disease.

Conclusion

The correlation between significant coronary stenosis and presence of corresponding regional perfusion abnormality depends on the location of the lesion and the corresponding myocardial region.

Published: May 2018

O presente artigo teve como objetivo avaliar atributos físicos e biológicos em vertissolo sob agricultura biodinâmica na mesorregião do sertão Paraibano, especificamente nas Várzeas de Sousa (PB). A coleta das amostras foram realizadas em Vertissolo Cromado sob diferentes condições de usos em duas profundidades de amostragem. Nos atributos biológicos foram analisados diversidade microbiana, atividade microbiana e macrofauna edáfica, enquanto nos físicos análise textural, densidade do solo, macro e microporosidade, porosidade total e retenção de água no solo. Observou-se que na parte biológica a diversidade microbiana total se mostrou maior na área sob vegetação nativa, independente da condição de uso e profundidade. A atividade microbiana foi mais elevada na área sob capim tifton, assim como obteve maior densidade de indivíduos da macrofauna, tendo como ordem de destaque Hymenoptera. Porém, índices de diversidade mostraram menor diversidade e equitabilidade na mesma, provavelmente pela dominância deste grupo. Em relação aos atributos físicos, observou-se baixa capacidade de retenção de água, independente dos usos e profundidades de amostragem, enquanto a densidade média apresentou mais elevada na camada subsuperficial.
Various types of fixed-point theorems on S-metric spaces
Authors: TAŞ Nihal
Published: May 2018

Recently, some generalized metric spaces have been studied to obtain new fixed-point theorems. For example, the notion of S-metric space was introduced for this purpose. In this study, some fixed-point results are proved using different contractive conditions on S-metric spaces. Various techniques such as Hard-Rogers type contraction, Khan type contraction, Meir-Keeler-Khan type contraction are used in our theorems to be proved. These fixed-point results extend some known fixed-point theorems on S-metric spaces. Also, to illustrate obtained theoretical results, some examples are given using an S-metric which is not generated by any metric. As an application, a new fixed-circle result is presented using modified C-Khan type contraction on S-metric spaces.

Background

Investigations on the causes of patellar tendinopathy should consider impairments at the hip and foot/ankle because they are known to influence movement patterns and affect patellar tendon loading.

Objectives

To investigate hip and foot/ankle impairments associated with patellar tendinopathy in volleyball and basketball athletes using classification and regression tree analysis.

Methods

In this clinical measurement, cross-sectional study, 192 athletes were assessed for impairments of the hip and foot/ankle, including shank-forefoot alignment, dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), iliotibial band flexibility, passive hip internal rotation ROM, and hip external rotator and hip abductor isometric strength. Athletes with tenderness and/or pain at the inferior pole of the patella were considered to have patellar tendinopathy. Athletes with scores higher than 95 points on the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-patella (VISA-P), no pain during the single-leg decline squat, and no history of patellar tendon pain were considered not to have patellar tendinopathy. Classification and regression tree analyses were performed to identify interacting factors associated with patellar tendinopathy.

Results

Interactions among passive hip internal rotation ROM, shank-forefoot alignment, and hip external rotator and abductor strength identified athletes with and without patellar tendinopathy. The model achieved 71.2% sensitivity and 74.4% specificity. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.77 (95% confidence interval: 0.70, 0.84; P<.001).

Conclusion

Impairments of the hip and foot/ankle are associated with the presence of patellar tendinopathy in volleyball and basketball athletes. Future studies should evaluate the role of these impairments in the etiology of patellar tendinopathy. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(9):676–684. Epub 23 May 2018. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.7426

Authors: Świerczewski Bartłomiej
Published: May 2018

Artykuł analizuje rozwój Wrocławskiego Budżetu Obywatelskiego (WBO). Autor zwraca uwagę na proces tworzenia, zatwierdzania i realizacji wybranych projektów. Program WBO skierowany jest przede wszystkim do mieszkańców miasta, dąży do ich większej aktywizacji i zaangażowania w jego codzienne sprawy. Artykuł prezentuje szczegółowe dane statystyczne o liczbie zainteresowanych programem mieszkańców oraz o środkach przeznaczanych z budżetu miasta na WBO. Rozważania zostały wzbogacone w plany kolejnych edycji programu. Mimo wielkiego sukcesu pojawiają się pewne kontrowersje dotyczące WBO – m.in. w mediach. Niemniej z każdą edycją rośnie liczba zatwierdzonych projektów, a tym samym coraz więcej wrocławian angażuje się w program.
Odwracalny regres? Małe i średnie miasta w świetle wyzwań społeczno-ekonomicznych oraz koncepcji zaradczych – przykład Dolnego Śląska
Authors: Górak Kamil , Krysiński Dawid
Published: May 2018

Małe i średnie miasta przeżywają kryzys społeczno-gospodarczy. Widać to choćby na Dolnym Śląsku, gdzie według prognoz liczba ludności w miastach spadnie do 2050 r. o 22 proc. (w porównaniu z 2013 r.). Najwięcej mieszkańców ubędzie właśnie miastom małym i średnim. Co gorsza, tej wielkości ośrodki są zbyt słabe, by przekształcić się w centra żyjące przede wszystkim z kultury, usług, kreatywności – tak jak robią to duże miasta. Autorzy artykułu zastanawiają się nad możliwościami ożywienia małych i średnich miast. Przywołują takie modele lokalnych polityk rozwojowych, jak cittaslow, smart city i klastry miejskie. Zalecają ich wdrażanie – zwłaszcza w południowej części Dolnego Śląska, gdzie kryzys mniejszych ośrodków miejskich jest szczególnie widoczny.

Since mid-2016, hepatitis A virus (HAV) outbreaks, involving predominantly men who have sex with men (MSM), have affected countries in Europe and overseas. In France, HAV screening of blood donations in 2017 revealed a HAV-RNA prevalence ca fivefold higher than during 2015–16 (4.42/106 vs 0.86/106; p = 0.0005). In 2017, despite a higher male-to-female ratio (5.5 vs 0.7) and the identification of MSM-associated outbreak strains, only one of 11 infected male donors self-reported being a MSM.

We report two yellow fever cases in unvaccinated French travellers in Brazil in January and March 2018, respectively; one exposed during an excursion in Minas Gerais and the other in Ilha Grande. Both presented with fever, hepatitis, thrombocytopenia and leucopenia. Yellow fever diagnosis was based on RT-PCR and serological tests. Both patients recovered within a few days. The increasing occurrence of cases in unvaccinated travellers highlights the need to reinforce vaccination recommendation for travellers at-risk.
