A 22-year-old man presented with fever and ulceration of the oral mucosa. The patient had pharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis. For the 3 weeks prior to presentation, he had been taking approximately 1000 mg/day of flowering herbs (Hypericum perforatum L, known as St. John’s wort) for treatment of depression. A complete blood count on the first day of hospitalization showed agranulocytosis and normocytic anemia. His condition worsened, and he developed progressive dysphagia. A bone marrow biopsy on day 3 revealed bone marrow necrosis. After the diagnosis was established (day 3 of hospitalization), treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 48 U/day, intravenous immunoglobulin 400 mg/kg, and amphotericin B 100 mg/day was initiated. The patient did not respond, and died within one week of the diagnosis. This cases suggests that Hypericum species may lead to severe hematologic toxicity, with conditions involving bone marrow necrosis.

Optimization of Biomass-to-Bioenergy Logistics Network Design Problem: A Case Study
Authors: Shamsi Meisam , Babazadeh Reza , Solimanpur Maghsud
Published: September 2018

Increasing the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) due to fossil fuel consumption has led to problems such as global warming, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and urban pollutions. Bioethanol production especially from different biomass such as wheat straw has been specified as one of the sustainable solutions to deal with energy crisis. Bioethanol logistics network optimization will reduce total costs of supply chain management and improves its competency with fossil fuels. In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed to integrate and optimize bioethanol logistics network design problem. The proposed model is a multi-period and multi-echelon including feedstock supply centers, collection centers, bio-refineries, and customer centers. The proposed model is applied in a real case in Iran. The results justify the applicability and performance of the model in efficient design of bioethanol logistics network problems.

Die Einführung der Trinkwasserversorgung zählt mit zu den bedeutendsten Erfolgen von Public Health. Aus diesem Grunde gilt eine gesicherte Trinkwasserversorgung zu den Säulen des öffentlichen Gesundheitsschutzes und der Daseinsvorsorge.
Soziale Ungleichheit und Gesundheit: die Entwicklung sozialepidemiologischer Forschung in Deutschland
Authors: Lampert Thomas , Kuntz Benjamin , Schneider Sven , Spallek Jacob
Published: September 2018

Die Sozialepidemiologie befasst sich mit der sozialen Verteilung von Erkrankungsrisiken und Gesundheitschancen und den daraus resultierenden gesundheitlichen Ungleichheiten. Für die letzten 20 Jahre lässt sich ein kontinuierlicher Zuwachs an sozialepidemiologischen Forschungsbefunden in Deutschland konstatieren. Mit den gesundheitlichen Ungleichheiten und den sozialen Determinanten der Gesundheit adressiert die Sozialepidemiologie Kernbereiche von Public Health, deren Bearbeitung auch in Zukunft erheblichen Einfluss auf die wissenschaftlichen, politischen und praxisorientierten Perspektiven des Fachs haben dürfte.
Der Public Health-Gedanke in der Gesundheitspolitik
Authors: Gerlinger Thomas
Published: September 2018

Das politische Interesse an einer Verbesserung der Bevölkerungsgesundheit ist spürbar gestiegen. Dennoch bestehen erhebliche Mängel fort. Ein wichtiger Grund für die gestiegene Bedeutung von Public Health für die Gesundheitspolitik ist die Erwartung, durch eine verbesserte Gesundheit Produktivitätspotenziale erschließen zu können. Grenzen findet diese Sozialinvestitionsstrategie dort, wo Bevölkerungsgesundheit und mächtige ökonomische Interessen im Widerspruch stehen.
Hollenstedt 2. Eine bandkeramische Siedlung an der mittleren Leine
Authors: Saile Thomas , Posselt Martin , Schoon Reinhold , Tinapp Christian
Published: September 2018

Auf der in den späten Zwanzigerjahren des letzten Jahrhunderts entdeckten bandkeramischen Siedlungsstelle Hollenstedt, „Salzberg“, wurde im Rahmen einer geophysikalischen Prospektion ein Erdwerk des 52./51. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. festgestellt. Es besteht aus einem halbkreisförmigen, breiten Graben und einem auf der Innenseite parallel verlaufenden mutmaßlichen Palisadengräbchen. Die Lage eines Walles ist für den weitgehend befundfreien Bereich zwischen den Gräben zu erschließen. Vier Standorte bandkeramischer Häuser sind in der vom Dorfgraben umschlossenen Innenfläche durch Pfostenstandspuren erkennbar, acht weitere lassen sich durch als Längsgruben gedeutete Anomalien wahrscheinlich machen. Das heutige Erscheinungsbild des Erdwerkes ist das Ergebnis lateraler Erosionsprozesse. Ursprünglich war die altneolithische Siedlung wesentlich größer und das Grabenwerk vermutlich von rundlich-ovaler Form. Aus dem südlichen Niedersachsen sind mittlerweile neun bandkeramische Erdwerke bekannt, die in formaler Hinsicht bemerkenswerte Unterschiede aufweisen und somit offenbar verschiedene Funktionen erfüllten.
Feasting like Royalty in a Time of Famine: Reflections on the Meaning and Composition of the Feast in Gen 43:15–34
Authors: Altmann Peter
Published: September 2018

Diese Untersuchung der aus unterschiedlichen literarischen Schichten bestehenden Erzählung von Josefs Mahl mit seinen Brüdern in Gen 43 arbeitet heraus, wie das Mahl gemeinsam mit dem Motiv des Versteckens von Josefs Becher in Gen 44 als performativer Handlung der Bestimmung der Beziehungen unter den Teilnehmenden dient. So erscheint Gen 43 als zentraler Teil des langen Erzählwegs hin zur Versöhnung der Brüder. Die Untersuchung betrachtet das Mahl in Gen 43 in drei Dimensionen: 1. aus anthropologischer Sicht Untersuchungen zu Machtverhältnissen bei Festmählern, 2. in der Perspektive vergleichbarer Texte des Alten Orients, insbesondere der Darstellungen persischer Festmähler und 3. vor dem Hintergrund der Bedeutung des Kelches bei persischen Festen und Mählern. Letztere nimmt vor allem die Bedeutung der Rolle des Kelches in Gen 44 als Verstärkung der performativen Handlung in Gen 43,31–34 in den Blick.

[only abstract in English; full article, abstract in Lithuanian]

The article examines Administrative Law course descriptions from 1931/1932 and 1936/1937 academic years and lectures’ notes published in 1935 and 1937. These were the only written sources on the studies of administrative law until 1939. Despite such a miserable literature on the subject of administrative law in the Interwar period in Lithuania, it has not been analysed to date. The object of the research is the studies and the content of administrative law course unit in the Interwar period in Lithuania including getting acquainted with public administration of some areas. Several findings were made in the study. First, administrative law was not given enough attention – the head of Administrative Law Department at the University of Vytautas Magnus, V. Biržiška, was a recognized and well-known book scientist, documentarian, book and press historian, dean of the Faculty, but not a specialist of administrative law. Some young scholars (V. Fridšteinas, K. Račkauskas) were professionally interested in administrative law, although somehow they were not invited to teach at the University. Second, during the course of administrative law V. Biržiška devoted much attention to the history of the formation of various states, to the comparative legal regulation in different countries. That is the reason to call his course as a first course of comparative administrative law in Lithuania. Third, the course of V. Biržiška’s administrative law was right at its initial phase of development: there were no clear terms of administrative law, administrative acts, public service, public administration, and no clear division between administrative law and other branches of public and private law.

Published: September 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. A public debate took place place in France in 2018 concerning ethical and social issues of biomedicine and life science and technologies. As faculty members of French medical schools and scholars in Social Sciences and Humanities, we contributed to introduce the central theme of health professionals education. What roles and what place should we assign to the social sciences and Humanities in preparing health professionals who will work in a transforming and largely unpredictable context? In this paper, we list 4 crucial issues for the present and the future of healthcare profession, concerning changes of medical roles; new biomedical concepts and innovations; long term consequences on health social contract; ethical issues in health care daily life settings. Then, we list 4 kinds of resources that are brought to students by Social Sciences and Humanities courses. They concern the connection to patients's experiences the social and cultural construction of these experiences; the social responsibility of medical doctors; and the independence of their professional judgments. This is a plea for the development of reflexivity and critical thought backed up by well identified, well integrated and sufficiently developed Social Sciences and Humanities courses in French medical schools.

Authors: Almeida Maria Fernanda Arruda , Verza Leonardo , Bitencourt Almir Galvão Vieira , Boaventura Camila Silva , Barbosa Paula Nicole Vieira Pinto , Chojniak Rubens
Published: September 2018

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of multidetector computed tomography with a stomach protocol in staging of gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 14 patients who underwent computed tomography in a 16-channel scanner for preoperative staging of gastric adenocarcinoma between September 2015 and December 2016. All images were analyzed by the same radiologist, who had extensive experience in abdominal cancer imaging. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the method were calculated by comparing it with the pathology result. All patients underwent partial or total gastrectomy. Results: The mean age was 61.5 years, and 53.8% of the patients were male. The gastric lesions were classified as T1/T2 in 35.7% of the cases, as T3 in 28.5%, and as T4 in 35.7%. Eleven patients (68.7%) had suspicious (N positive) lymph nodes. The accuracy of the T1/T2, T3, T4, and lymph node staging tests was 85%, 78%, 90%, and 78%, respectively. The respective sensitivity and specificity values were 71% and 100% for T1/T2, 66% and 81% for T3, 100% and 90% for T4, and 88% and 60% for lymph nodes. Conclusion: Multidetector computed tomography with a stomach protocol, used in conjunction with virtual gastroscopy, shows good accuracy in the tumor and lymph node staging of gastric adenocarcinoma.
EL ESTATUS EPISTÉMICO DE LOS EXPERIMENTOS MENTALES EN CIENCIAS FÁCTICAS*
Authors: Borge Bruno , Mettini Guadalupe
Published: September 2018

RESUMEN Un experimento mental en ciencias fácticas consiste en la representación de un escenario imaginario. A partir de la presentación de condiciones iniciales y la postulación de una situación hipotética o contrafáctica, se solicita al lector que realice mentalmente alguna operación, manipule ciertas variables o ponga en funcionamiento algún aparato o instrumento. En virtud de este ejercicio sería posible, en principio, obtener nuevo conocimiento acerca de algún aspecto del mundo natural. El debate acerca de las funciones de los experimentos mentales en las ciencias fácticas está centrado en establecer la validez del conocimiento acerca del mundo empírico que estos dispositivos son capaces de proporcionar. La propuesta interpretativa de Brown (1991, 2011) da sustento a la idea de que, en casos excepcionales, los experimentos mentales pueden cumplir funciones probatorias. Los denominados “experimentos mentales platónicos” permiten intuir leyes de la naturaleza y justificar a priori las hipótesis propuestas. Sostenemos que la conexión trazada por Brown entre los experimentos mentales y leyes naturales exhibe un aspecto problemático de su filosofía: el compromiso injustificado con una metafísica inflacionaria. Mostramos que es posible explicar el mecanismo a través del cual estos dispositivos proporcionan conocimiento nuevo y dar cuenta tanto de su poder heurístico cómo de su valor evidencial a partir compromisos metafísicos más modestos.
Emergency nurses’ attitudes towards the concept of witnessed resuscitation
Authors: García-Martínez Ana Laura , Meseguer-Liza Cristóbal
Published: September 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to review the most relevant evidence on the nurses’ attitudes towards witnessed resuscitation, in the inpatient and out-of-hospital spheres. Method: integrative literature review, covering the period from 2008 till 2015, using the databases PubMed, Lilacs and SciELO; in Spanish, English and Portuguese. The pediatric context was excluded from the study. Results: the synthesis of the data resulted in the inclusion of 10 articles, categorized as: positive attitudes and negative attitudes. Conclusions: discrepancies exist among the nurses from different contexts and geographical regions towards the concept; protocols need to be established for this situation, in view of the advantages evidenced in the literature, for the nursing professionals as well as the relatives. Witnessed resuscitation can represent an opportunity to understand and cope with the rational and irrational in the situation in a shared manner, as well as mitigate or dignify the mourning.

PT, eleições e editoriais da grande imprensa (1989-2014)
Authors: Azevedo Fernando Antônio
Published: September 2018

O artigo examina, a partir do conceito de paralelismo político, a relação da “grande imprensa” do Brasil, formada pelos três grandes diários de circulação nacional, O Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S. Paulo e O Globo, com o petismo entre 1989 e 2014. A referência empírica são os editoriais publicados pelos jornais durante as sete últimas eleições presidenciais que têm como objeto o PT e seus candidatos. Os textos foram avaliados através da metodologia da análise de valência e agrupados em pacotes interpretativos. Os resultados mostram a predominância de editoriais negativos e o uso dos enquadramentos “populista” e/ou “corrupto” na narrativa sobre o PT e o petismo, tanto no período pré-governamental quanto no governamental do PT no plano federal.
Política, pânico moral e mídia: controvérsias sobre os embargos infringentes do escândalo do Mensalão
Authors: Barros Antonio Teixeira de , Lemos Cláudia Regina Fonseca
Published: September 2018

Este artigo analisa as controvérsias midiáticas sobre os embargos infringentes do escândalo político do Mensalão. O pressuposto que guia a análise é que, com os jogos retóricos próprios do seu modo operatório de narrar o mundo político, a imprensa utilizou-se do enquadramento de pânico moral como pacote interpretativo para a cobertura do caso. O corpus reúne 150 textos publicados pelos principais jornais diários e revistas semanais brasileiros, no período de 12 a 19 de setembro de 2013, a semana do julgamento final do STF sobre os embargos. Os resultados mostram que a imprensa atuou como um ator moral na defesa do combate à corrupção política, questionando o direito à revisão das penas dos “mensaleiros”. Para isso acionou argumentos de autoridades e de especialistas, alinhados ao enquadramento de risco à sociedade e fragilização da democracia, associando o acolhimento dos embargos às representações de impunidade e desprezo pelo interesse público.
Confiança nas instituições políticas: diferenças e interdependência nas opiniões de jovens e população brasileira
Authors: Russo Guilherme A. , Azzi Roberta Gurgel , Faveri Charlene
Published: September 2018

Este artigo contribui para o estudo sobre confiança nas instituições no Brasil ao analisar os dados do Barômetro das Américas de 2014 e 2017 e de uma pesquisa original com 487 jovens em 2016. Os objetivos são: 1) identificar variações nos níveis de confiança em diferentes instituições e entre a população em geral e os jovens; 2) mapear como as opiniões sobre as diferentes instituições se relacionam entre si; e 3) analisar a relação entre experiências de participação política, consumo de mídia e confiança nas instituições. Os resultados apontam que as instituições políticas como partidos e eleições são vistas de forma negativa, principalmente quando comparadas às Forças Armadas. Análises fatoriais apontam que as opiniões sobre instituições se distribuem em duas dimensões – uma que captura a propensão a ter mais confiança nas instituições e outra que discrimina opiniões favoráveis às instituições militares. Finalmente, análises de regressão indicam que indivíduos que participaram de reuniões políticas e usaram menos a internet têm um nível de confiança mais alto nas instituições.
Does one size fit all? An analysis of portfolio allocation in the Brazilian multiparty presidential system
Authors: Palotti Pedro Lucas de Moura , Cavalcante Pedro Luiz Costa
Published: September 2018

Presidents face a dilemma of whom to appoint for cabinet positions. They need to secure legislative support for their government and at the same time achieve their goals in terms of public policy. This work analyzes the portfolio allocation of Brazilian presidents in Brazil’s multiparty system. This study tests some hypotheses using multinomial logistic regression to identify appointment strategies adopted by the presidents in four different governmental sectors from 1990 to 2016. To do so, first, we create an index of ministerial politicization (IMP) and aggregate the ministries in these four sections, employing cluster analysis. The results show that appointments to the core positions in government tend to be less politicized. Moreover, the president’s personal nominations were greater in the presidential units that carry out the political coordination and typical functions of the State.

Abstract In this research the mineral elements and the oil and protein contents of thirteen sunflower hybrids grown in Brazil, were studied. In addition, the possibility of jointly obtaining products with high productivity and high oil and protein contents was evaluated. The research showed high achene productivity, exceeding the national average, mainly by the hybrids BRS G44, SYN 045 and M 734. It should be taken into account that some hybrids, such as NTC 90, despite their high productivity, are not suitable for production when the purpose is to obtain oil and protein meal. The hybrid BRS G46 presented high oil and protein contents. On the other hand, SYN 065 was the least productive (808.10 kg ha-1) and, despite the fact that this hybrid showed an above average oil content, it showed the lowest protein content of the grains analysed. In general, the samples analysed had higher concentrations of K, Mg, S, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cr, Ni and Cu, whereas the mineral contents of Mo, Co and Se were present at lower levels. The hybrid BRS G45 indicated the presence of larger amounts of elements at higher concentrations, such as: Mg, S, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn, followed by BRS G44, which showed higher contents of Mg, Cr, Mn, Fe and Ni. The characterization of the Brazilian hybrids in this study allowed for their differentiation for specific purposes and the possibility of oil production combinations, producing oils with characteristics that make them apt for alternative uses of their by-products (such as the hybrid BRS G46), this being a great opportunity to increase the farm income.

Published: September 2018

Abstract Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is a form of physical abuse, which may result in serious consequences for child development. Despite its severity, SBS can be prevented through parent training. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief intervention to increase knowledge on SBS with 252 parents. Participants were randomly assigned into two conditions: Experimental Group (EG) and a waiting Control Group (CG). The intervention consisted of exhibition of an educational video and reading a pamphlet on SBS. To measure parental knowledge, the Attitudes towards the Infant Crying Scale was used. An increase in participants’ knowledge about consequences of shaking, caregiver’s wellbeing, caregiver strategies to deal with crying, beliefs about infant care and about characteristics of infant crying were observed in the EG at posttest, indicating the effectiveness of the intervention.
The americanism of Aureliano Cândido Tavares Bastos
Authors: Rosi Bruno Gonçalves
Published: September 2018

Abstract Aureliano Cândido Tavares Bastos was one of the main ideologists of the Brazilian Liberal Party in the 1860s and 1870s. Through several books, pamphlets and articles, Tavares Bastos defended that Brazil should follow a greater political and administrative decentralization, granting greater autonomy to the provinces. Another way to summarize Tavares Bastos’s political thinking is to say that he had great admiration for the United States, and understood that Brazil should, within the possibilities, copy more the political model of this country. Thus, this text interprets the political thinking of Tavares Bastos emphasizing as central factor of this the proposal that Brazil should not only more closely copy US federalism, but also get closer to the US in its foreign policy.
Study of brazilian structural concrete block conformity
Authors: SANTIAGO W. C. , BECK A. T.
Published: September 2018

Abstract This paper presents a study of the conformity of structural concrete blocks manufactured and used in masonry construction in Brazil. It is based on compressive strength tests, on dimensional analysis and absorption tests of over six thousand samples from three classes (A, B and C) and two modular sizes (M-15 and M-20). National results show that blocks tend to have an estimated compressive strength higher than specified, except blocks from class A. Regional results show that blocks manufactured in the northeast (NE) are consistently non-conforming, for all block classes. The study also shows that dimensional variations and absorption tests results are within code tolerances.
Influence of the stiffness of beam-column connections on the structural analysis of reinforced concrete buildings
Authors: SANTOS J. B. , SILVA T. J. DA , ALVA G. M. S.
Published: September 2018

Abstract Conventional structural analysis of buildings in reinforced concrete is performed considering beam-column connections as rigid. However, experimental results prove the existence of relative rotations in beam-column connections of reinforced concrete structures, showing the partial transfer of bending moment. In this study the influence of the stiffness of beam-column connections on the global stability and in the column bending moments of buildings in reinforced concrete was investigated. A building was designed with rigid connections and deformable connections to identify the importance of considering the influence of the stiffness of the beam-column connections in the overall stability of monolithic and in the redistribution efforts in reinforced concrete structures. In order to determine the stiffness rotation of deformable connections, two analytical models available in literature were used, and a comparison between the results obtained by each analytical model was also performed. Based on the results, it is concluded that neglecting the influence of the stiffness of the beam-column connections on the analysis of monolithic reinforced concrete structures may result in different solutions compared to the real behavior of the structure. The stiffness values obtained with the analytical models usually differ from the condition of rigid connections, suggesting an adjustment on the standard consideration of rigid connections adopted by the computer programs of structural calculation.

Abstract Quarries have invested in equipment to increase production and improve the quality of their products, such as vertical shaft impact crushers (VSI). This type of crusher works with autogenous comminution of the material to improve the shape of the coarse aggregates. However, there are few studies about the influence of crushers in the shape of fine aggregate grains. In this context, gneiss and granite fine crushed aggregates, produced in cone crushers and VSI were studied. Parameters such as coefficient of volumetric shape, aspect ratio, and circularity were used to compare these aggregates with the river sand. The results showed that there is a difference between the shape of the sand river and the fine crushed aggregates. Among the crushed aggregates, those from the VSI showed improvements in grain shape, compared to aggregates from cone crushers. However, this improvement decreases with the reduction of grain size. Mortars produced with the studied aggregates were also evaluated. It was verified their influence on the consistency, the air content and compressive strength at 28 days. For the study in the mortar, the crushed aggregates were separated in fractions by sieving and composed to obtain the same granulometric distribution for all the aggregates. The mortars made with the crushing aggregates from the VSI showed higher fluidity, lower air content and higher compressive strength when compared to the crushed aggregates produced in the cone crusher.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the coagulant Polyaluminium chloride (PAC) in water quality improvement of six eutrophic shallow lakes in Brazilian semiarid region. Methods We evaluated the effect of PAC in turbidity, humic substances (UV254), total phosphorus and chlorophyll-a concentration through laboratory jar tests. Results The results showed that PAC had a good performance in reducing total phosphorus concentrations and turbidity, with a reduced efficiency in removing chlorophyll-a and humic substances by sedimentation of flocks formed. Conclusions Addition of PAC is a potential tool for water quality improvement of eutrophic shallow lakes in Brazilian semiarid region but its efficiency depends on the pH and particulate and dissolved organic matter concentration in the lake or reservoir water.

Microalgas apresentam alta variedade biológica e podem ser aplicados em vários setores. A separação destes microrganismos é um desafio, uma vez que apresentam baixas densidades e são encontradas em suspensão no meio de cultura. Para otimizar o processo de secagem da biomassa das microalgas, o objetivo deste trabalho foi otimizar o uso do spray dryer em relação a secagem por estufa e por liofilização, bem como reconhecer o rendimento de biomassa, o teor lipídico, a composição dos ácidos graxos e a composição elementar (CHNS) para cada método testado. A secagem de biomassa de Chlorella vulgaris por spray dryer provou ser uma técnica alternativa mais rápida e eficiente para ser empregada em escala laboratorial.
Strengthening Financial and Taxation Regulatory Framework in India: A Review of Recent Legislations
Authors: Jain Sandeep
Published: September 2018

A number of legislations and institutional measures have been implemented in recent times by the government of India to ensure an efficient financial and taxation system. These measures focus on developing an unambiguous legal framework and transparent supervisory procedures. This paper reviews some of the recent legislations in this regard which are aimed at brining our financial and taxation system in alignment with the changing environment. Some of the legislations reviewed include Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002; Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005; Government Securities Act, 2006; Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007; Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015 and Financial Sector Legislative Reforms Commission (FSLRC), 2013. An overall assessment of these reforms shows that a number of effective legislations are being put in place for an efficient and transparent financial and taxation system and India remains committed to adoption of international standards and best practices wherever necessary.
News, Neighbours, and Commerce: Newspaper Advertising in the Information Culture of the Dutch Republic
Authors: Pettegree Andrew , Der Weduwen Arthur
Published: September 2018

The Dutch did not invent the newspaper – their genius lay, as in so many aspects of industry, in the refinement of the mechanisms of production and sale so as to maximise efficiency and profits. One of their imaginative contributions was the early adoption of paid advertising.  The first advertisements appear in Dutch papers within years of their establishment, and by the middle of the century, many tradesmen and professional groups were beginning to recognise the benefit of using the newspaper to advertise their goods and services. Increasingly, too, the advertisements were mingled together with various sorts of public announcements, placed either by official bodies or private citizens: the notification of an upcoming market, appeal for help in the search for a missing child or fugitive servant, the offer of a reward for the return of lost or stolen goods. This article focuses on these public announcements; more specifically, it investigates the contribution made by newspaper advertising to the domestic information culture of the Dutch Republic.
The Associations Between Perceived Harsh and Controlling Parenting, Shame Proneness, and Psychological Aggression Among Chinese Dating Couples

Published: September 2018

Using dyadic data from 198 dating heterosexual couples (aged 18–31) in Mainland China, the current study tested the direct associations between perceptions of their parents’ harsh and controlling parenting and psychological aggression and indirect associations via shame proneness. Results demonstrated that for women, greater perceived harsh and controlling parenting was directly related to higher levels of psychological aggression and indirectly related through higher levels of shame proneness. For men, perceived harsh and controlling parenting was not related to either shame proneness or psychological aggression. These findings provide initial insights into how shame, traditionally a valued and celebrated emotion in Chinese culture, can be maladaptive by contributing to psychological aggression in young adult intimate relationships. Although these findings merit further testing, especially for men, this study provides evidence that shame is an important mechanism for psychological dating violence.
O documento fotográfico
Authors: Rodrigues Joana Sousa
Published: September 2018

O documento fotográfico constitui um enorme desafio para aquela que é chamada de Era de Informação e que vem aprumada com o avanço tecnológico, nomeadamente a imposição do digital, através de dispositivos de captura de imagem. O tratamento de informação fotográfica, embora, à primeira vista, espelhe um leque imenso de oportunidades e benefícios ainda padece de um estudo limitado e pouco desenvolvido. Se por um lado, os documentos de caráter textual estão presentes, em esmagadora maioria, nos centros de informação e, por esse motivo, o sua análise e tratamento são realizadas quotidianamente, por outro, a imagem tem vindo a posicionar-se, ainda que lentamente, na sociedade de informação como um meio implacável na geração de conhecimento.

AIDS epidemic has spread to all parts of Indonesia and currently more than 150 countries reported the existence of HIV/AIDS from around the world. Additionally, HIV/AIDS treatment using ARV drugs also find obstacles that must be faced in terms of host, environment and the agent. The objective of this study was to generate lymphocytes TCD4+ that are resistant to HIV infection generate from PBMCs through by deletion of 32 bp CCR5 encoding gene. In principle, this study was done in three steps. First, isolation, culture and purification of lymphocyte TCD4+ from PBMC (Mather, 2008; Rantam, et.al., 2009). Second, lymphocyte TCD4+ characterization by PCR with primer F 5’CAAGTCGAGCGCCCCGCAAGGGG-3, R 5’GTCCGAGTGTGGCTGATCATCC-3 (Thomsen, et.al., 2002; Yuwono, 2006; Hall and Ziedonis 2007; Purwati, et.al., 2009). Third, designing of lymphocyte TCD4+ prototype which was resistant to HIV infection by deletion of 32 bp CCR5 full gene. Results: Twenty-four hours after culture, there were abundant cell growths. TCD4+ lymphocytes from isolated and cultured 10 ml PBMC were found to be 2 x 107. Phenotype characterization of TCD4+ lymphocyte provided positive results, while the genotype showed similarities to that in corresponding gene bank of CCR5 variant A and variant B. Prototype of HIV resistant TCD4+ lymphocytes was made by nucleotide deletions in conserved areas, at position 554-576 bp, using restriction enzymes EcoRI checked using PCR and sequencing. In conclusion, prototype design of HIV resitent TCD4+ lymphocytes is obtained through the deletion of 32 bp CCR5 encoding full gene at GTCAGTATCAATTCTGGAA GAATTT CCAGACA using EcoRI enzyme.Keywords: HIV/AIDS, resistant TCD4+ lymphocytes, mutant 32 bp CCR5, PBMCs, deletion
TISSUE ENGINEERING IN MAXILLOFACIAL BONE RECONSTRUCTION
Authors: Kamadjaja David
Published: September 2018

Maxillofacial bone defects due to tumor resection, trauma or infections should be reconstructed to maintain the bone continuity in order to preserve its masticatory, speech and esthetic functions. Autogenous bone graft have been the gold standard for mandibular defects reconstruction, however, it is associated with limitation in volume and availability as well as the donor site morbidities. Tissue engineering approach has been proved to be a good alternative to overcome the limitation of autogenous bone graft. Tissue engineering studies have been conducted combining various sources of mesenchymal stem cell, scaffolds, and or signaling molecules. The paper aims to provide information on the development of bone tissue engineering researches to reconstruct bone defects through results of numerous studies obtained in the English literature. As the conclusion, bone tissue engineering is a potential approach to reconstruct maxillofacial bone defects. Keywords: scaffold,osteoconduction, mesenchymal stem cell, bone regeneration, bone integration
