Progressing from an implicit to an explicit false belief understanding: A matter of executive control?
Authors: Kloo Daniela , Kristen-Antonow Susanne , Sodian Beate
Published: June 2019

In a longitudinal study ( N = 54), we investigated the developmental relation between children’s implicit and explicit theory of mind and executive functions. We found that implicit false belief understanding at 18 months was correlated with explicit false belief understanding at 4 to 5 years of age, with the latter being closely related to second-order false belief understanding at 5 years of age. Also, replicating a number of studies, explicit first- and second-order false belief understanding, in contrast to implicit false belief understanding, were related to executive functioning. This indicates that executive functions play a role in standard explicit false belief tasks, but not in implicit false belief understanding. We argue that spontaneous, implicit false belief understanding does not require conscious control, whereas explicit false belief understanding is based on conscious, reflective processing. In sum, we suggest a developmental enrichment account of theory of mind development, with belief processing becoming increasingly reflective and controlled with advancing age.
Co-occurrence of Nasal Polyps and Neoplasms of the Canine Nasal Cavity
Authors: Tarrant James C. , Holt David E. , Durham Amy C.
Published: June 2019

Nasal polyps in dogs are space-occupying soft-tissue masses that have been encountered concurrently with intranasal neoplasia in surgical biopsy specimens. The proportion of nasal polyp co-occurrence with primary nasal tumors was examined, and follow-up biopsies on dogs initially diagnosed with nasal polyp were reviewed. Histologic sections from 321 cases of intranasal neoplasia and 50 cases of nasal polyp from 2004 to 2017 were reviewed. Of the 321 cases of intranasal neoplasia, 51 (16%) had concurrent nasal polyps, and most of these (47/51) had intranasal carcinoma. Twenty-five of the 50 dogs with a primary diagnosis of nasal polyp were rebiopsied, and the diagnoses in these subsequent biopsies were nasal polyp in 15, malignant neoplasm in 9, and intranasal nematode in 1. Nasal polyps occurred frequently in conjunction with nasal carcinoma. In dogs with a diagnosis of nasal polyp, repeat biopsy to reveal possible neoplasia is warranted.
Pseudohypertrophy of the left ventricle secondary to anaphylaxis: A case report
Authors: Wong Christopher AHG , Arumugam Sivasundari
Published: June 2019

We report a case of pseudohypertrophy of the left ventricle secondary to hypovolaemia from anaphylaxis. The patient was a healthy young female who developed anaphylaxis during a general anaesthetic. A transthoracic echocardiogram performed during the anaphylaxis crisis demonstrated significant left ventricular hypertrophy. However, when the anaphylaxis had resolved, a follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated a normal left ventricular wall thickness. This left ventricular hypertrophy was a pseudohypertrophy as the left ventricular mass was normal and the wall thickness normalised when the hypovolaemia and anaphylaxis had resolved. Pseudohypertrophy of the left ventricle is an echocardiographic finding that suggests hypovolaemia. Furthermore, this echocardiographic finding supports the importance of volume resuscitation in the management of anaphylaxis. This phenomenon may be more frequently reported in the future due to the wider availability of point-of-care ultrasonography along with an increase in the number of physicians trained in echocardiography.
Investigating the Effects of Curing Quality on Key Concrete Pavement Surface Properties
Authors: Joshaghani Alireza , Bhardwaj Richa , Zollinger Dan G. , Mukhopadhyay Anol Kanti
Published: June 2019

The large surface-area-to-volume ratio of concrete pavements increases moisture loss through evaporation during placement and hydration. Moreover, ambient conditions might expedite water evaporation from a concrete surface. To minimize moisture loss in early aged concrete, curing compounds are often used in slab construction. The purpose of this paper is to show the viability of identified curing quality indicators. Two indicators were defined to evaluate the curing practices related to direct and indirect measures. These indicators were determined by measuring different factors for a given curing compound, such as moisture loss, surface abrasion resistance, surface porosity, and drying shrinkage. In addition, effectiveness index and dielectric constant measurements were utilized as non-destructive tests to assess curing quality. In this study, a wax-based curing compound was tested according to preset laboratory conditions at different application rates to evaluate its suitability for the curing method.
Agent-Based Modeling: Value Added to Social Work Research
Authors: Ihara Emily S. , Lee JoAnn S.
Published: June 2019

Social workers have taken large strides in adopting rigorous research methods, yet there have been computational advances that could enhance the social work knowledge base. This article introduces a computational method, agent-based modeling, which can facilitate theoretical and methodological innovations by strengthening the alignment of our research methods with common social work theories. We review three theories, identify how current methods do not allow for the full exploration of the social phenomena under investigation, and provide justification for using agent-based modeling.

Published: June 2019

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (Panel) assessed the safety of 25 monosaccharides, disaccharides, and related ingredients and concluded these are safe in the present practices of use and concentration described in the safety assessment. Many of these ingredients are common dietary sugars, dietary sugar replacements, or very closely related analogs and salts; 7 of the ingredients are listed by the Food and Drug Administration as generally recognized as safe food substances. The most commonly reported cosmetic function is as a skin-conditioning agent; other commonly reported functions are use as a humectant or as a flavoring agent. The Panel reviewed the animal and clinical data included in this assessment, acknowledged that the oral safety of many of these ingredients has been well established, and found it appropriate to extrapolate the existing information to conclude on the safety of all the monosaccharides, disaccharides, and related ingredients.
A continuous juggle of invisible forces: How fatigued dialysis patients manage daily life
Authors: van der Borg Wieke E , Verdonk Petra , de Jong-Camerik Judith GA , Schipper Karen , Abma Tineke A
Published: June 2019

Dialysis patients commonly experience severe fatigue. Fatigue is known as an intrusive symptom strongly affecting perceived quality of life. A total of 23 interviews were conducted to explore how dialysis patients respond to fatigue symptoms and its consequences in daily life. A constructivist grounded theory approach guided data analysis and conceptualization of findings. Patients find themselves within a continuous decision loop, considering ones (physical) abilities and questioning ones normative beliefs and values. This inner process interacts with the outside world, and contains various ambiguities. Improved understanding of this demanding process could help to better address fatigue and positively contribute to the quality of life of dialysis patients.

Published: June 2019

Background. After stroke, recovery of movement in proximal and distal upper extremity (UE) muscles appears to follow different time courses, suggesting differences in their neural substrates. Objective. We sought to determine if presence or absence of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) differentially influences recovery of volitional contraction and strength in an arm muscle versus an intrinsic hand muscle. We also related MEP status to recovery of proximal and distal interjoint coordination and movement fractionation, as measured by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA). Methods. In 45 subjects in the year following ischemic stroke, we tracked the relationship between corticospinal tract (CST) integrity and behavioral recovery in the biceps (BIC) and first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation to probe CST integrity, indicated by MEPs, in BIC and FDI. We used electromyography, dynamometry, and UE FMA subscores to assess muscle-specific contraction, strength, and inter-joint coordination, respectively. Results. Presence of MEPs resulted in higher likelihood of muscle contraction, greater strength, and higher FMA scores. Without MEPs, BICs could more often volitionally contract, were less weak, and had steeper strength recovery curves than FDIs; in contrast, FMA recovery curves plateaued below normal levels for both the arm and hand. Conclusions. There are shared and separate substrates for paretic UE recovery. CST integrity is necessary for interjoint coordination in both segments and for overall recovery. In its absence, alternative pathways may assist recovery of volitional contraction and strength, particularly in BIC. These findings suggest that more targeted approaches might be needed to optimize UE recovery.
Ticagrelor improves blood viscosity-dependent microcirculatory flow in patients with lower extremity arterial disease: the Hema-kinesis clinical trial
Authors: Rosenson Robert S. , Chen Qinzhong , Najera Sherwin D. , Krishnan Prakash , Lee Martin L. , Cho Daniel J.
Published: June 2019

Background

Microvascular blood flow (MBF) impairment in patients with lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) is associated with more severe major adverse limb events (MALE). The contribution of ticagrelor, a P2Y12 antagonist and an adenosine enhancer, on blood viscosity (BV) and BV-dependent MBF in LEAD is unknown. The aim of the trial is to investigate the effects of ticagrelor on BV, and explore the association of BV-dependent MBF in participants with LEAD and type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Methods

Randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, crossover trial design that compares treatment with aspirin 81 mg/ticagrelor placebo, aspirin 81 mg/ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily and aspirin placebo/ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily on high-shear (300 s−1) and low-shear (5 s−1) BV, and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in the dorsum of the feet of participants with T2DM.

Results

We randomized 70 (45% female) participants aged (mean ± SD) 72 ± 9 years. The duration of LEAD was 12.3 ± 10.3 years, and 96.9% reported intermittent claudication symptoms. Use of statins was 93% (high-intensity 43%, moderate intensity 49%), renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors (75%) and beta-blockers (61%). Treatment with ticagrelor with or without aspirin reduced high-shear BV by 5%, in both cases, while aspirin monotherapy increased high-shear BV by 3.4% (p < 0.0001). Ticagrelor with or without aspirin reduced low-shear BV by 14.2% and 13.9% respectively, while aspirin monotherapy increased low-shear BV by 9.3% (p < 0.0001). The combination of ticagrelor and aspirin increased MBF in the left foot compared to the other two treatments (p = 0.02), but not in the right foot (p = 0.25).

Conclusions

Ticagrelor should be considered in the treatment of microvascular disease in patients with LEAD and T2DM.

Published: June 2019

PURPOSE

In the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01847274 ), maintenance therapy with niraparib, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, prolonged progression-free survival in patients with platinum-sensitive, recurrent ovarian cancer who had a response to their last platinum-based chemotherapy. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical benefit and patient-reported outcomes in patients who had a partial response (PR) and complete response (CR) to their last platinum-based therapy.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

A total of 553 patients were enrolled in the trial. Of 203 patients with a germline BRCA mutation (g BRCAmut), 99 had a PR and 104 had a CR to their last platinum-based therapy; of 350 patients without a confirmed g BRCAmut (non–g BRCAmut), 173 had a PR and 177 had a CR. Post hoc analyses were carried out to evaluate safety and the risk of progression in these patients according to g BRCAmut status and response to their last platinum-based therapy. Ovarian cancer–specific symptoms and quality of life were assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Ovarian Symptom Index.

RESULTS

Progression-free survival was improved in patients treated with niraparib compared with placebo in both the g BRCAmut cohort (PR: hazard ratio [HR], 0.24; 95% CI, 0.131 to 0.441; P < .0001; CR: HR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.160 to 0.546; P < .0001) and the non–g BRCAmut cohort (PR: HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.230 to 0.532; P < .0001; CR: HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.383 to 0.868; P = .0082). The incidence of any-grade and grade 3 or greater adverse events was manageable. No meaningful differences were observed between niraparib and placebo in PR and CR subgroups with respect to patient-reported outcomes.

CONCLUSION

Patients achieved clinical benefit from maintenance treatment with niraparib regardless of response to the last platinum-based therapy.
Editosome RNase III domain interactions are essential for editing and differ between life cycle stages in Trypanosoma brucei
Authors: McDermott Suzanne M. , Carnes Jason , Stuart Kenneth
Published: June 2019

Multiprotein editosomes catalyze gRNA-specified insertion and deletion of uridines to create functional mitochondrial mRNAs in Trypanosoma brucei. Three functionally distinct editosomes are distinguished by their single KREN1, KREN2, or KREN3 RNase III endonuclease and, respectively, KREPB8, KREPB7, and KREPB6 partner proteins. These endonucleases perform the first catalytic step of editing, cleaving mRNA in diverse mRNA/gRNA heteroduplex substrates. We identified divergent and likely noncatalytic RNase III domains in KREPB4, KREPB5, KREPB6, KREPB7, KREPB8, KREPB9, and KREPB10 editosome proteins. Because known RNase III endonuclease functional domains are dimeric, the editing endonucleases may form heterodimers with one or more of these divergent RNase III proteins. We show here using conditional null cell lines that KREPB6, KREPB7, and KREPB8 are essential in both procyclic form (PF) and bloodstream (BF) cells. Loss of these proteins results in growth defects and loss of editing in vivo, as does mutation of their RNase III domain that is predicted to prevent dimerization. Loss of KREPB6, KREPB7, or KREPB8 also dramatically reduces cognate endonuclease abundance, as does the RNase III mutation, indicating that RNase III interactions with their partner proteins stabilize the endonucleases. The phenotypic consequences of repression are more severe in BF than in PF, indicating differences in endonuclease function between developmental stages that could impact regulation of editing. These results suggest that KREPB6, KREPB7, and KREPB8 form heterodimers with their respective endonucleases to perform mRNA cleavage. We also present a model wherein editosome proteins with divergent RNase III domains function in substrate selection via enzyme–pseudoenzyme interactions.

SAGRADO, DE TOMÁS ELOY MARTÍNEZ: FIGURAS E MITOS REALISTA MARAVILHOSOS
Authors: Mazzutti Luciana , Mitidieri Andre
Published: June 2019

Nesta investigação, estabelecemos um diálogo entre essa obra literária e a escrita autobiográfica, crítica e jornalística do mesmo autor, verificando a comunicação que firma com seus possíveis leitores. Destacamos a imbricação que o ficcionista argentino arquiteta ao relacionar a cidade argentina à personagem principal do romance em análise, autenticando o que afirmam, em jornais e publicações argentinos, outros intelectuais de grande porte. Também observamos que a narrativa, entendida como estória ou fábula, configura seus elementos de caráter realista maravilhoso a partir da espacialização ficcional da cidade de Tucumán e na órbita de sua personagem Bío. Esse protagonista, cujo nome intitula o primeiro capítulo da obra literária em estudo, torna-se representativo de uma sociedade repleta de tabus, mitos e tradições. Consideramos, neste ponto da pesquisa, a reterritorialização que, na concepção de Canclini (2003), completa um dos processos responsáveis pela hibridação. Nesse sentido, a personagem principal, em contato com outras “localizações”, “relocaliza-se” e ressignifica bens simbólicos, sem desconsiderar a herança tucumana.

Authors: Silva Jéssica Martins da , Malagris Lucia Emmanoel Novaes
Published: June 2019

Este estudo avaliou a percepção de estresse e estressores de enfermeiros de um hospital universitário e coletou sugestões de ações para amenizar o estresse. O estudo, descritivo, transversal, qualitativo e quantitativo foi realizado com 70 enfermeiros de diversas unidades de um hospital. Utilizou-se a Escala de Estresse de Bianchi e uma pergunta aberta. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados pelo programa SPSS e foram feitas análises descritivas e inferenciais. Para os dados qualitativos, utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados indicaram que a maior parte (67%) dos sujeitos apresentou nível médio de estresse. O domínio B (atividades relacionadas ao funcionamento adequado da unidade) teve a média de escore de estresse mais alta (5,2) em todas as unidades estudadas. A média de estresse dos enfermeiros que exercem função de chefia foi significantemente maior do que a média dos que não exercem (p=0,002). A área temática "Melhores condições para o trabalho" foi a mais citada como sugestão para amenizar o estresse.  Os dados obtidos indicaram que a situação atual de precarização do hospital está relacionada com o estresse dos enfermeiros. Considera-se que o estudo permitiu ampla compreensão sobre o estresse e estressores em enfermeiros do hospital e subsídios para estudos posteriores.
A família processual: Pensando a filiação e a transmissão na contemporaneidade
Authors: Guerra Andrea Máris Campos , Moreira Jacqueline De Oliveira , Malta Amanda Lessa , Galhardo Leandro
Published: June 2019

As mudanças societárias nos modos e costumes referentes às composições familiares suscitam novos questionamentos acerca de como a filiação e a transmissão operam atualmente no interior das "novas" configurações familiares. Desenvolve-se, através da análise das Narrativas Memorialísticas de jovens moradores de periferia, envolvidos ou não com a criminalidade, a hipótese de que a família contemporânea opera seu espaço de transmissão através de uma lógica processual continuísta na qual não há mais um núcleo articulador e gerador de unidade semântica. Dessa forma, a transmissão acontece pela composição de diferentes lógicas que, em continuidade processual, incidem sobre o objeto de desejo a partir de seu ponto de impossibilidade de tradução.
Cartas do hospício: Memória e esquecimento - rastros e insurgências
Authors: Trevizani Tiago Marcelo , Silva Rosane Azevedo Neves da
Published: June 2019

Este artigo discute sobre o uso de cartas como fontes de pesquisa e sua articulação com os conceitos de memória e esquecimento, no âmbito da história da loucura. Os autores partem do encontro ao acaso com algumas correspondências escritas no início do século XX, por pacientes do antigo Hospício São Pedro, localizado em Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil), as quais ficaram guardadas nos seus prontuários e que, aparentemente, não foram enviadas aos seus destinatários. Os procedimentos de exclusão e a regulação dos discursos daqueles que eram tidos como loucos operou um silenciamento desses sujeitos, tomando seus escritos, exclusivamente, como referentes da sua suposta loucura; entende-se que a dinâmica das relações de poder é capaz de produzir "vidas memoráveis" e "vidas pouco dignas de serem lembradas". Destaca-se o compromisso ético-político de uma perspectiva histórica que se compromete com a "memória dos oprimidos". Este estudo examina alguns "rastros do passado", entendendo-os como possibilidade de insurgência daqueles que foram relegados ao esquecimento, neste caso, lembrar do passado é intervir no presente.

Creating good habits: making reflection the norm
Authors: Power Alison , Roberts Alice
Published: June 2019

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) states that midwives should reflect on their practice in order to highlight areas where changes might lead to improvements in future. The NMC Code also states that midwives must be aware of, and mitigate as far as possible, any potential harm associated with practice. The importance of reflection cannot be underestimated in relation to providing high quality, safe and effective care in line with the standards expected by the NMC, employers and service users. A previous article in this series discussed an innovative e-module supporting student midwives' employability, social awareness and preparedness for professional practice on qualification. This article will review the e-module through a different lens: that of the student. Alice will share her experiences from the student's perspective of how she feels engagement with this module will impact on her employment opportunities and future practice.

‘Storying the self’: Autobiography as pedagogy in undergraduate creative writing teaching
Authors: Moriarty Jess , Adamson Ross
Published: June 2019

The telling and sharing of stories is synonymous with what it is to be human. The narrative threads reaching back through our personal histories can help us to make sense of who we are in the present and we already use these stories anecdotally, at school, on dates, over coffee, in the local, to make connections with people and our social worlds. At an academic level, storytelling that engenders meaning making is becoming legitimized as branch of qualitative research that can inform us about our culture and identity. Autoethnography is a methodology that links the self (auto) with ethno (culture) to research (graphy). Helping students to work in this way and make these connections in their assessed work can be a challenge, but it can also help them to identify the stories that already exist inside themselves and give them the confidence to believe that these stories might matter in the world beyond their writing journals and university lectures. In this article, the authors share personal stories to reflect on our pedagogic approach to undergraduate creative writing teaching.

Authors: Duque Tiago
Published: June 2019

Este artigo problematiza algumas críticas feitas às contribuições científicas da teoria feminista para o campo da educação. O referencial teórico utilizado é o pós-estruturalista. Os argumentos são construídos a partir da análise do artefato cultural Inês Brasil, especialmente os memes que envolvem essa web-celebridade, assim como da experiência em torno da aprovação da Lei da Mordaça na cidade de Campo Grande (MS). Os resultados da análise apontam para a necessidade de compreensão da produção das diferenças como enfrentamento do pânico moral em torno do que vem sendo chamado de “ideologia de gênero”.

Este ensayo se propone contribuir a la reflexión crítica sobre educación superior y algunas contribuciones de los estudios feministas a la enseñanza de la epistemología. Los movimientos de las mujeres y la diversidad sexual han impuesto una agenda pública que ha atravesado los ámbitos académicos y los debates teóricos actuales. Resulta notable que, a pesar de la prolífera producción de epistemologías feministas, la inserción en las asignaturas universitarias sea exigua. Los ámbitos específicos de epistemología sostienen concepciones arraigadas en tradiciones científicas que son resistentes a incorporar los nuevos marcos de referencia teóricos para la formación universitaria de grado. Examinar algunas de las resistencias y aperturas entorno a estas cuestiones guía el recorrido de este trabajo.

W artykule scharakteryzowano dydaktyczne modele kształtowania wielojęzycznej osobowości ucznia w procesie uczenia się języka obcego, takie jak: model czynników oraz model funkcjonalny. Określono istotę modelu czynników, polegającą na uwzględnieniu systemu faktorów zewnętrznych i wewnętrznych, odgrywających ważną rolę w procesie uczenia się języka obcego. Cechami charakterystycznymi modelu czynników jest wielostopniowa struktura i porządek chronologiczny systematyzacji modelu, które polegają na wpływie pierwszego języka obcego podczas posługiwania się przez uczniów drugim czy trzecim językiem obcym.
МЕТАФОРИКА ДОНБАСУ
Authors: Поліщук Ярослав
Published: June 2019

Tematem artykułu jest specyﬁ czna metaforyka Donbasu obecna w tekstach kultury XX oraz XXI wieku. Obraz regionu został ujęty w trzech metaforach: industrialnej, sowieckiej i postindustrialnej (apokaliptycznej), które utraciły swoje znaczenie. Kształtowanie się nowej tożsamości mieszkańców Donbasu okazało się nader trudne z powodu trwałości stereotypów z przeszłości, co doskonale pokazują teksty współczesnej literatury ukraińskiej, m.in. Ołeksandry Iwaniuk, Wołodymyra Raﬁ ejenki, Ołeksija Czupy, Lubow Jakymczuk etc.
НАРАТИВНО-МЕНТАТИВНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ЕСЕ ЕПІСТОЛЯРНОГО ТИПУ В СУЧАСНІЙ УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ ЛІТЕРАТУРІ (Листи з Києва С. Павличко)
Authors: Шевченко Тетяна
Published: June 2019

Artykuł traktuje o narracyjno-mentatywnym charakterze Listów z Kijowa Salomei Pawłyczko. Wykazano, iż w esejach-listach tomu narracja przeradza się w rozważania, podobnie jak narrator — w myśliciela. Narratyw i mentatyw stają się podstawowymi składnikami struktury tekstu, uzupełniając się nawzajem i tym samym tworząc całość. Taka struktura otwiera nowe możliwości przed esejem z punktu widzenia strategii komunikacyjnych w twórczości pisarzy.
ŻYCIE JAKO WĘDRÓWKA. TOPOS DROGI I WĘDROWCA W POWIEŚCI WAŁERIJA SZEWCZUKA ТІНІ ЗНИКОМІ
Authors: Zambrzycka Marta
Published: June 2019

У статті розглянуто мотив “життя як дороги” в прозі Валерія Шевчука. Матеріалом для аналізу обрано роман Тіні зникомі, оскільки символіка дороги в цьому творі суперечить сучасній концепції номадичної людини, яка характеризується своєю неприв’язаністю, відірваністю від місця проживання та байдужістю до питань свого коріння й походження. Мета подорожі героїв роману, як і багатьох інших творів В. Шевчука, — пошук джерела: сімейного, культурного, духовного. Метафора подорожі базується на концепції Григорія Сковороди, для якого мандрівка символізує саморозкриття та моральне збагачення людини. Духовний шлях, який обирає герой роману В. Шевчук, веде не тільки до самопізнання, але й уводить в історію та цінності української культури, а тому герой самостверджується не тільки в особистому, але й у національному вимірах.
Accelerated Height Growth Versus Mortality of Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. in Hungary
Authors: Gulyás Krisztina , Móricz Norbert , Rasztovits Ervin , Horváth Adrienn , Balázs Pál , Berki Imre
Published: June 2019

Background and Purpose: Due to climate change, it is important to know to what extent forests will be impacted by atmospheric changes. This study focuses on the height growth response of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) to counteracting effects of fostering and interfering changes under contrasting climatic conditions with special attention to the xeric limit zone of this species.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight sites were selected along a climatic gradient from the humid region in southwest Hungary to the continental-semiarid region in northeast Hungary where neighbouring old and young sessile oak stands were available for pair-wise comparison of height growth. While these young stands developed entirely in the significantly changed atmospheric conditions, the older trees lived only a part of their life time in such changed environment. The Ellenberg quotient (EQ) was used for describing climate aridity. Stand top height in each pair of old and young stands was measured to calculate the relative stand top height using yield tables of sessile oak for Hungary. Additionally, stand densities of old stands were measured. To demonstrate the height growth differences of old and young stands their relative stand top heights were compared as functions of EQ and stand density.
Results: The relative top heights of the young stands were significantly higher than of the older stands, which means that the overall growing conditions were better in the last 30-35 years due to atmospheric changes than the mean conditions during the lifetime of old stands. Although extreme drought events associated with climate change caused reduced stand density due to periodic tree mortality at the xeric limit of sessile oak, the synergetic effect of all atmospheric changes was still sufficient enough to accelerate height growth.
Conclusions: There has been an acceleration of height growth during the last decades despite the increased frequency of droughts. It cannot be concluded that height growth acceleration will continue in the future since climate models show an increasing tendency of dry extremes in Hungary that may overrule the positive fostering effect of atmospheric changes.
Diagnosis of Cancer Using Hybrid Clustering and Convolution Neural Network from Breast Thermal Image

Published: June 2019

Breast cancer is a tumor caused by the excessive growth of cells in the breast tissue or near the region of the breast. Breast cancer is most commonly found among women, and it starts developing when the cell tissues from lump of the breast become abnormal or when there is a calcium deposit in the breast. These affected cells form a large lump that consequently becomes a tumor. Digital infrared images are obtained based on the metabolism of the breast and vascular circulation of the blood flow in and around the breast region, which has more visibility than the normal breast region. In this article, we diagnose breast cancer by processing a thermal image that is acquired from thermal cameras. By analyzing the information, we can implement image processing steps to predict quantitative and qualitative information. In this work, we propose a hybrid clustering algorithm with distance measurements. The clustering step includes adaptive fuzzy k-means clustering with Chebyshev distance with improved classifiers, which include neural networks. The article discusses the experimental results along with the comparison using various metrics, such as accuracy, time, and error rates.
Norma e Desvio: Ciência e Sociedade na Produção da Ordem
Authors: Ames Valesca Daiana Both , Neves Fabrício Monteiro
Published: June 2019

O artigo pretende relacionar e comparar as teorias sociológicas de Émile Durkheim e David Bloor no que diz respeito às suas concepções sobre ordem e desvio, levando-se em conta que o primeiro argumenta em um nível social mais amplo e o outro busca compreender a dinâmica científica. Em um plano intermediário situamos Thomas Kuhn, visto que este busca transpor elementos verificados em um plano social para uma análise no âmbito da ciência. O foco do artigo constitui-se em ver como os autores elaboram uma teoria normativa onde os indivíduos seguem um determinado padrão de ações, definido através de regras e atitudes sancionadas. De acordo com os autores supracitados, as normas, ou regras de conduta, se instituem como algo coercitivo e interiorizado pelos agentes. O que aqui se pretende sustentar é que os autores se aproximam no que diz respeito ao elemento mantenedor da ordem social e quanto ao tratamento dos casos que fogem da regra. Ilustraremos este argumento com o caso do físico português João Magueijo, que buscou contestar um dos pilares da física contemporânea.
Ideologia: Revisão de um Conceito Pertinente aos Estudos Sobre Divulgação Científica em Museus
Authors: Souza Daniel Maurício Viana de
Published: June 2019

O termo ideologia possui múltiplas e contraditórias significações. Sua profunda polissemia lhe permitiu apropriações diversificadas ao longo do tempo, fazendo com que assumisse contornos e funções difusas e dispersas, sempre de acordo com as demandas específicas de cada contexto em que é empregado. Este artigo trata sobre o conceito de ideologia, procurando refletir – ainda que de forma breve – sobre a sua pertinência no âmbito concreto dos museus, sobretudo os de ciência, em suas atividades de divulgação científica. Apresentaremos uma síntese dos diversos significados que foram atribuídos à ideologia, desde o seu surgimento até os dias atuais. Dentre as diversas correntes do conhecimento dedicadas ao estudo dos quadros ideológicos, optamos por privilegiar a perspectiva de John B. Thompson, em virtude de resguardar potencial para contribuir de maneira consistente com o debate atual presente nos estudos sociológicos concernentes à divulgação científica e à memória social da ciência, em especial, operacionalizada em museus.
Abordagens Sociológicas da Questão Ambiental: Contribuições e Limites Conceituais
Authors: Robertt Pedro
Published: June 2019

O artigo traça um panorama geral de algumas das principais abordagens, na área da sociologia, sobre a questão ambiental. Seu objetivo é mostrar que não existe uma perspectiva sociológica única sobre essa questão. Examinam-se cinco abordagens analíticas: a sistêmica, a valorativacomunicativa, a das contradições do capitalismo, a do risco e a pós-moderna. Na exposição são apresentadas as diversas abordagens assinalando suas principais características; deixando para a parte de considerações finais, as contribuições e limites conceituais de cada uma delas. O estudo mostra que existem diálogos e entrecruzamentos entre as diversas leituras da questão ambiental, concluindo-se que a análise pós-moderna é aquela que consegue incorporar desde uma visão peculiar e critica as outras perspectivas.

Distâncias e proximidades na lógica da desigualdade ambiental
Authors: Dos Santos Caio Floriano , Dornelas Rafaela Silva
Published: June 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo central discutir o tema da desigualdade ambiental a partir dos elementos que nos trazem dois casos de conflitos: o imprensamento das comunidades quilombolas do Sapê do Norte, no estado do ES, pelas monoculturas de eucalipto da Fibria, antiga Aracruz Celulose; e o sufocamento das comunidades do SuperPorto (Vila Mangueira, Barra Nova e Barra) pela modernização portuária, indústria naval e de fertilizantes no município de Rio Grande/RS (extremo sul do Brasil), constituindo-se como zonas de sacrifício. A proposta de reunir dois casos de empreendimentos de natureza distintas e em localidades distantes parte da inquietação quanto à repetição da lógica de implantação de grandes empresas no Brasil, calcada na desigualdade ambiental que faz com que os grupos sociais vulneráveis fiquem com o ônus referente a tais implantações. Tal esforço mostra que o modus operandis do capital associado ao Estado pouco difere, colocando grande importância na articulação em rede para o enfrentamento da desigualdade ambiental.Palavras-Chave: desigualdade ambiental; justiça ambiental; zonas de sacrifício.
