RESUMO Objetivo: analisar as representações sociais da qualidade de vida de pessoas que vivem com HIV/aids. Método: estudo descritivo, exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, fundamentado na Teoria das Representações Sociais, utilizando a abordagem estrutural. Foi realizado em três Serviços de Assistência Especializada em HIV/aids, com 180 pessoas que vivem com HIV/aids em acompanhamento terapêutico nestes serviços. Na coleta de dados, aplicaram-se questionários com variáveis socioeconômicas e a técnica de Evocações Livres de Palavras ao termo indutor “qualidade de vida”, para a obtenção dos conteúdos da representação. A análise dos dados provenientes da evocação foi realizada através da técnica do quadro de quatro casas, sendo instrumentalizada pelo software denominado Ensemble de Programmes Permettant L’analyse des Evocations, versão 2005. Resultados: na análise da estrutura da representação da “qualidade de vida”, identificaram-se, no possível núcleo central, os elementos positivos boa, boa-alimentação, cuidados-saúde e saúde, que sugerem que a qualidade de vida dos participantes está associada a uma alimentação adequada, a qual está inserida no contexto dos cuidados de saúde, evidenciando a preocupação do grupo com a própria saúde. Conclusão: a saúde é um bem inestimável para o grupo estudado. As representações sociais da qualidade de vida estão pautadas na adoção de cuidados de saúde relacionados com o cuidado de si e, em especial, com as ações de promoção da saúde.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar o processo de referência e contrarreferência na assistência à saúde das pessoas com amputação, na perspectiva dos enfermeiros, sob o olhar da bioética. Método: estudo descritivo, exploratório-analítico com abordagem qualitativa, realizado por entrevista semiestruturada com 21 enfermeiros que prestam assistência à pessoa com amputação alocada na rede de atenção à saúde de Florianópolis. Os dados foram organizados com auxílio do software Atlas ti 7.5.6 e analisados com base na análise de conteúdo temática. Resultados: emergiram duas categorias temáticas: O fazer do enfermeiro no processo de referência e contrarreferência e Avanços e desafios de um processo em construção. Evidenciou-se que sem o respaldo legal, a maioria dos encaminhamentos são realizados com base nas relações interpessoais e na informalidade. Logo, a responsabilização compartilhada e a troca de saberes possibilitam ações fundamentadas nas necessidades e complexidades intrínsecas na assistência à saúde dessa população. Conclusão: a análise sob o olhar da bioética permitiu concluir que, não só a pessoa com amputação como também o enfermeiro, ocupam posição de vulnerabilidade. Estes mostraram o empenho para oferecer um atendimento integral. O comprometimento ético, a criatividade profissional, o matriciamento e a interconsulta foram pontuadas como potencialidades. As fragilidades foram a inexistência de protocolos, a comunicação ineficaz entre os níveis de atenção, o acesso restrito à informação e a lentidão nos referenciamentos.

Authors: Ematné Hugo Junqueira , Nunes José Airton Rodrigues , Souza João Cândido de , Muñoz Patrício Ricardo
Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT Recurrent selection is a viable alternative for popcorn breeding. However, frequent verification of progress attained is required. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic progress attained for popping expansion (PE) and grain yield (GY) after four cycles of recurrent selection and to compare this progress with the expected progress estimated at the end of each cycle while considering the genetic relationships between the progenies via univariate and multivariate mixed-model approaches. To estimate the genetic parameters and gains from indirect selection, cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 of a UFLA population were used. To estimate the genetic gains achieved, the following cycles were used: UFLA (original) and cycles 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, evaluated in three environments. The multivariate approach provided more accurate estimates than did the univariate approach. There was genetic gain for PE in the recurrent selection program. In contrast, gain was not observed for GY using the different estimation strategies.

ABSTRACT Brachiaria decumbens presents high rusticity, rapid growth, as well as easy implantation and management. The aim of the study is to evaluate the growth of brachiaria in soil contaminated with copper. An experiment following a 3 x 4 factorial design was carried. It comprised three plant ages (30, 45 and 60 days after transplanting) and four copper concentrations (0, 20, 40 and 80 mg of Cu per kg of soil). Plant age and copper concentrations have influenced the main pseudostem length, the number of leaves, as well as the leaf area, chlorophyll (SPAD), fresh and dry shoot matter, root system volume, and fresh and dry root system matter of plants. The lowest dry shoot matter accumulation was found at the concentration 51.24 mg Kg-1. The herein investigated copper concentrations have influenced the growth of Brachiaria decumbens. The lowest growth variable values were between 45.52 and 57.63 mg.Kg-1. Thus, brachiaria has shown potential to be used in Copper phytoremediation at concentrations below 45.52 mg Kg-1.

Resumo A dissecção espontânea da artéria renal é uma patologia rara que, na maioria dos casos, ocorre de forma idiopática. Em alguns casos, pode estar associada à presença de alterações arteriais prévias. Os sintomas geralmente são discretos e inespecíficos, dificultando o diagnóstico. Os autores relatam o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, de 40 anos, com quadro de hipertensão arterial não controlada de início recente. Na investigação da etiologia da hipertensão arterial, o eco-Doppler de artérias renais revelou a presença de estenose (> 80%) no terço médio da artéria renal esquerda, e a angiografia evidenciou uma dissecção com dupla luz e redução do calibre do vaso. O paciente foi submetido a tratamento com implante de stent com evolução satisfatória.

ABSTRACT In search of a more sustainable agriculture, the use of beneficial microorganisms has been highlighted, because they are low-cost and can reduce the use of fertilizers and increase grain yield. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of A. brasilense inoculation and the best form and dose of inoculation in maize, measuring the impact on some physical characteristics and on its nutrition. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in Ilha Solteira, SP, Brazil, in a completely randomized design, with four replicates and eight treatments: 1) control; 2) Seed 1x; 3) Seed 2x; 4) Soil 1x; 5) Soil 2x; 6) Leaf 1x; 7) Leaf 2x; 8) Seed 1x + Leaf 1x, respectively representing in each treatment the site and dose of application (1x, dose recommended by the manufacturer; 2x, twice the dose recommended by the manufacturer). No differences were found in any physical characteristics evaluated between treatments; however, for nutrient contents in the leaf tissue, there was effect on Zn content. It was concluded that, regardless of the presence of A. brasilense inoculation, forms or dose (in hybrid DKB 350), in general, there were no improvements in the characteristics evaluated.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of cowpea cultivars to water stress, during seed germination and seedling establishment. For this, a completely randomized experimental design was used in a factorial scheme consisting of nine cultivars of cowpea (BRS Guariba, BRS Potengi, BRS Itaim, BRS 17 Gurguéia, BRS Aracê, Paulistinha, Maratanã, Costela-de-Vaca and Canapu-Branco) and two levels of osmotic potential induced by PEG 6000 (0.0 MPa (control) and -0.4 MPa) in four replicates of 50 seeds. The variables analysed were germination, germination first count, root and shoot lengths, and dry matter accumulation of shoots and roots. The dissimilarity between the genotypes was also determined by Euclidean distance. Germination and initial development of cowpea cultivars are impaired by the reduction in the potential to -0.4 MPa. The cultivars BRS Guariba, BRS Aracê, Paulistinha and Canapu-Branco are the most tolerant to water stress, while BRS Potengi, BRS Itaim, BRS 17 Gurguéia, BRS Maratanã and Costela-de-Vaca are the most sensitive in the early development stage.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to estimate and compare the respiratory rate (breath min-1) of broiler chicks subjected to different heat intensities and exposure durations for the first week of life using a Fuzzy Inference System and a Genetic Fuzzy Rule Based System. The experiment was conducted in four environmentally controlled wind tunnels and using 210 chicks. The Fuzzy Inference System was structured based on two input variables: duration of thermal exposure (in days) and dry bulb temperature (°C), and the output variable was respiratory rate. The Genetic Fuzzy Rule Based System set the parameters of input and output variables of the Fuzzy Inference System model in order to increase the prediction accuracy of the respiratory rate values. The two systems (Fuzzy Inference System and Genetic Fuzzy Rule Based System) proved to be able to predict the respiratory rate of chicks. The Genetic Fuzzy Rule Based System interacted well with the Fuzzy Inference System model previously developed showing an improvement in the respiratory rate prediction accuracy. The Fuzzy Inference System had mean percentage error of 2.77, and for Fuzzy Inference System and Genetic Fuzzy Rule Based System it was 0.87, thus indicating an improvement in the accuracy of prediction of respiratory rate when using the tool of genetic algorithms.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT ‘Okara’ is the insoluble part obtained after the aqueous extraction of soybeans, generated in large quantities as a by-product of the ‘tofu’ industry or soybean water-soluble extract. This work aimed to study ‘okara’ convective drying kinetics, determine the effective diffusion coefficient, and obtain activation energy and thermodynamic properties under different drying conditions. The by-product ‘okara’ was obtained from the processing of BRS 257 soybean water-soluble extract, homogenized and dried in a forced-air oven at temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C until constant weight. Among the analysed models, Wang & Singh was selected to represent the drying phenomenon. Effective diffusion coefficient increased with the temperature rise, and the activation energy for the net diffusion in the drying was 28.15 kJ mol-1. Enthalpy and Gibbs free energy increased with the elevation of drying temperature.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT Yellow mombin has high nutritional value but is very perishable. Foam mat drying is a method that has been widely used to preserve liquid and semi-solid powdered foods. In this context, the aim of this study was to determine desorption isotherms and isosteric heat of yellow mombin (Spondias mombin L.) foam for different conditions of temperature and water activity. Powdered yellow mombin pulp was obtained by drying in forced-air oven regulated to 60 ° C. The indirect static method was used to determine the isotherms and isosteric heat, whereas water activity (aw) was determined using the Hygropalm-HP23AW-A analyzer. A B.O.D. incubator, set at 10, 20, 30 and 40 °C, was used to control the temperature, and the water activity for each temperature was between 0.220 and 0.832. The experimental data were fitted to mathematical models frequently used to represent the hygroscopicity of agricultural products, and the best model was the Modified Halsey. Integral isosteric heat of desorption of yellow mombin powder, within the water content range of 17.22 to 57.58 (% d.b.), ranged from 3198.56 to 2598.38 kJ kg-1. It was concluded that the equilibrium water content of yellow mombin pulp powder increased with the increment in water activity; desorption isotherms obtained for yellow mombin pulp powder showed sigmoid form and, with the reduction of water content, the isosteric heat increases.

Resumo Sergipe, localizado na região Nordeste do Brasil, é o único estado dessa região com ausência de estudos sobre a soroprevalência da leucose enzoótica bovina, havendo a necessidade da realização de pesquisas para verificação da situação atual da enfermidade. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar um inquérito soroepidemiológico da leucose enzoótica bovina em rebanhos bovinos do estado de Sergipe, dividido em três mesorregiões: Leste Sergipano, Agreste Sergipano e Sertão Sergipano. Em cada mesorregião foram selecionados os cinco municípios com o maior efetivo bovino, totalizando 780 amostras coletadas, dentre machos e fêmeas, de faixas etárias diversas, provenientes de 52 propriedades dos municípios visitados. Todas as amostras de soro foram submetidas ao teste de imunodifusão em gel de ágar (IDGA), obtendo-se resultados positivos para anticorpos antivírus da leucose bovina (anti-VLB) em 11,92% (93/780) dos animais. Dentre as propriedades, 59,61% (31/52) apresentaram animais reagentes, sendo que, dos 15 municípios visitados, apenas dois não apresentaram animais sororreagentes. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, ficou confirmada a presença de anticorpos contra o agente etiológico nos rebanhos bovinos sergipanos, reforçando a necessidade de instituir medidas de controle e prevenção eficazes contra a leucose bovina, com o objetivo de controlar a doença no estado e conhecer melhor a sua epidemiologia.

Abstract The objective of this trial was to evaluate carcass quality in 74 Santa Ines hair ewes aged 6 to 48 months. Slaughter occurred after fasting and electroshock, followed by dissection of the jugular veins and carotid arteries. Hot carcass weight, hot carcass yield, carcass length, skin thickness, shoulder, neck, loin, belly, rib and leg weights and percentages, leg length, and girth were measured. The rib eye area, color (by CIELAB system), shear force, and cooking loss were also measured. The data were analyzed using SAS procedures for analysis of variance, regressions, correlations, and principal components. Hot carcass weight was 15.75 kg and yield was 43.65%. Younger animals had higher leg yield while yields of loin and shoulder increased as age increased. The meat was darker in older animals. As age increased, both the quantity of commercial cuts decreased and the loss of quality traits, such as color, cooking loss, and shear force, increased; therefore, slaughter should be performed before 30 months of age.

ABSTRACT Intercropping is a cropping system that involves cultivating two or more crops in the same area with different cycles and vegetative architectures. One of the ways to increase productivity and efficiency in this cropping system is through green manuring and by properly considering crop combinations, cultivation timing, and planting configuration of the component crops. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the productive performance of carrot and lettuce intercropping systems under different amounts of rooster tree biomass incorporated into the soil and under different spatial arrangements. The study was conducted at the experimental farm Rafael Fernandes, RN, Brazil, in the period from September 2012 to January 2013, in an experimental design of randomized complete blocks in a 4 x 3 factorial scheme, with twelve treatments and 3 replicates. The treatments consisted of the combination of four rooster tree biomass amounts incorporated into the soil (10, 25, 40 and 55 t ha-1 on a dry basis) with three predetermined spatial arrangements between the component crops (2:2, 3:3 and 4:4), which correspond to the rows of carrot alternating with the rows of lettuce. The agronomic performance of the carrot and lettuce intercropping system was optimized in the amount of approximately 46.36 t ha-1 of rooster tree incorporated into the soil. There was no influence of the spatial arrangements on the agronomic efficiency of the carrot and lettuce intercropping. The use of rooster tree as green manure is agronomically viable in intercropped systems of carrot and lettuce.

ABSTRACT The interaction Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) x nematode and the genetic variability of Foc are the main problems with potential to affect the use of resistant varieties in the management of the Panama disease. The objective of this work was to evaluate the interaction between Foc and Meloidogyne javanica on the banana of the Prata Anã, Grande Naine and BRS Princesa cultivars. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with six treatments and ten replications, which differed in the inoculation time of each pathogen. Simultaneous inoculation with Foc and M. javanica, inoculation with Foc one week before inoculation with M. javanica, and inoculation with M. javanica one week before inoculation with Foc. In addition to the controls, Foc isolated, M. javanica isolated, and cultivars without the pathogens. The seedlings were transplanted in 3-liter pots with sterile soil infested with 40 grams of Foc inoculum at the concentration of 1x106CFU/gram and 1000 eggs and J2 of M. javanica. At the end of 56 days, the treatments with 'Grande Naine' presented the highest reproduction factors of M. javanica. In the 'Prata Anã' no interaction was observed between Foc x M. javanica. The treatments with simultaneous inoculation of the two pathogens, and with Foc a week before, in the 'BRS Princesa', presented the highest external disease indices (DI), which promoted the highest AUDPC. The highest internal DI were observed in the treatments Foc+Mj+Grande Naine, Foc+Mj+BRS Princesa, Mj+Grande Naine+Foc and Foc+BRS Princesa+Mj. The simultaneous presence of M. javanica and Foc increases the severity of the Panama disease in Grande Naine and BRS Princesa cultivars.

ABSTRACT Green manure may lead to physical, chemical, and biological improvements to the soil. However, the information on its use in the Brazilian Northeast is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the phenological cycle and phytomass productivity of seven legume species. This study was conducted in the second semester of 2015 in a completely randomized design with seven treatments and four replications. Plant height, fresh mass of shoot (FMS), dry mass of shoot (DMS), fresh mass of root (FMR), and dry mass of root (DMR) were determined at 100 days after sowing. Germination, flowering, and pod maturation were also assessed. The highest averages of FMS were observed in Crotalaria breviflora and Crotalaria mucronata, followed by Canavalia ensiformis, whereas the highest averages of DMS were observed in C. breviflora, C. ensiformis, C. mucronata, and Cajanus cajan cv. IAPAR 43. The highest averages of FMR were obtained by C. breviflora and C. mucronata, followed by C. cajan cv. Fava Larga. The species C. mucronata, C. cajan cv. IAPAR 43, and C. breviflora presented the highest averages of DMR. In addition, C. juncea, C. ensiformis, and C. cajan cv. IAPAR 43 were the earlier species regarding flowering, while C. cajan cv. Fava Larga was the later species. C. juncea was the earliest among all studied species regarding pod maturation. The tested legume species obtained promising initial results during the assessment period, being able to meet the expectations of biomass production and contributing to soil sustainability in this region.

ABSTRACT Vetiver grass is a member of the grass family Poaceae. Its fast development is probably due to the interaction with native microbiota, whose influence has not been studied yet. The objective of this work was to evaluate the colonization and development of the vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty) inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate endophytic fungi. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with six treatments (control, without mycorrhizal fungi, native inoculants, UFLA05 - Gigaspora albida, UFLA351 - Rhizoglomus clarum, UFLA372 - Claroideoglomus etunicatum, and UFLA401 - Acaulospora morrowiae), with three replicates each. Vetiver grass tillers as well as the native microbial inoculum were obtained from the Lower São Francisco river experimental area, located in Sergipe state, Northeastern Brazil. There was a negative interaction between all tested UFLAs mycorrhizal isolates and the native microbiota (mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi) in the treatments, especially when taking into consideration plant height and volume of roots. The effects of inoculation with UFLA isolates may have been influenced by the presence of the native mycorrhizal fungi and the dark septate endophytic fungi. Vetiver grass was responsive to the native inoculant. The mycorrhizal colonization of the vetiver grass was vesicular, but the formation of the arbuscules can be influenced by the interaction between the fungus, plant, and the environment.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT The development of common bean cultivars with early cycle, upright plant architecture, and high grain yield represents marketing advantages to bean farmers. This study aimed to evaluate whether common bean inbred lines differ for phenological, plant architecture, and grain yield traits; analyze the correlations between these traits; and select early and upright common bean lines with high grain yield. To this end, 14 common bean inbred lines were evaluated in two growing seasons in Santa Maria - RS, Brazil. Common bean inbred lines showed significant differences for all traits, except for insertion of the first pod and length of the fourth and fifth internodes. The four superior common bean lines selected by the multiplicative index were CNFP 10794, CNFC 10762, DF 06-09, and BRS Valente. CNFP 10794 presents earliness (flowering and cycle), upright plant architecture (lower values of general adaptation score, lodging, and stay-green phenotype) and high grain yield (higher values of number of pods per plant, number of grains per plant, mass of 100 grains, and grain yield). Mass of 100 grains showed a positive correlation with grain yield (r= 0.68). The indirect selection using mass of 100 grains is of intermediate efficiency to increase grain yield in common bean. CNFP 10794 presents earliness, upright plant architecture, and high grain yield and will be selected for the breeding program.

ABSTRACT Studies on the use of agricultural residues as an alternative to commercial substrates have become fundamental tominimising the risk of environmental contamination resulting from inadequate disposal, as well as reducing seedling production costs. This research involved an evaluation of growth variables and quality of cucumber seedlings produced in substrates with different compositions of agricultural waste with a view to providing substitutes for commercial substrate. The experiment was based on a completely randomised design, with six treatments and ten replicates. There were five treatments with increasing proportions of moinha/decreasing proportions of carbonized rice husk (0/40, 10/30, 20/20, 30/10 and 40/0%) and fixed proportions of coconut fibre (15%), eggshell (5%), pine bark (40%), and one commercial substrate treatment as the control (Bioplant®). The variables evaluated were: electrical conductivity of the substrate, plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, Dickson quality index (DQI) and dry matter of roots and above ground parts. Results show that alternative substrates can replace commercial substrate without impairing the quality of cucumber seedlings. However, the substrate containing 40% of moinha, 0% of rice husk, 15% of coconut fibre, 5% of eggshell and 40% of pine bark resulted in the highest values for all evaluated variables and appears to be the most promising alternative substrate for the production of cucumber seedlings.

ABSTRACT Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), it has been suggested that alterations within the gut are associated with an inflammatory state and uremic toxicity. Studies suggest that uremia may impair the function of the intestinal barrier via the promotion of increased intestinal permeability. To understand the mechanisms that are involved in intestinal barrier damage in the setting of uremia, we evaluated the in vitro effect of uremic serum on transepithelial electrical resistance (TER), inflammation, and apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells (T84). Methods: Pools of serum from healthy individuals, patients not on dialysis, and patients on hemodialysis (Pre-HD and Post-HD) were prepared. T84 cells were incubated for 24 h in medium, of which 10% consisted of the pooled serum from each group. After incubation, the TER was measured and the following parameters were determined by flow cytometry: expression of toll-like receptors (TLRs), production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and apoptosis. The level of IL-6 in the culture supernatant was determined by ELISA. Results: No difference was observed among the groups with respect to TER, apoptosis, and ROS or the expression of TLR-2, TLR-4, and TLR-9. IL-6 secretion was higher (p < 0.001) in cells that were incubated with pre- and post-HD serum. Conclusion: The results that were obtained from this model suggest that uremic serum per se does not seem to impair the integrity of intestinal epithelial cells. The increased IL-6 secretion by cells that were incubated with HD serum suggests a potential effect of uremia in the intestinal inflammatory response.

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT The vertical movements caused by internal waves in lakes and reservoirs have chemical and biological consequences for these ecosystems. The vast majority of studies that investigate internal waves are conducted on large lakes. There are just few researches that investigate this phenomenon on dendritic reservoirs. The purpose of this research was to identify internal waves (baroclinic mode) in the Vossoroca reservoir by using temperature time series recorded between May to November 2012. A two-layer method was used which considered rigid upper and lower boundaries. Moreover, the potential flow theory was used for both layers since the flow within each layer was considered irrotational. From the dispersion relation, we obtained the theoretical shallow internal wave period. The power spectral density (PSD) of temperature series of thermocline depth, provided by fast Fourier transform, helped in the identification on the frequency peak. Subsequently, the theoretical period was compared with the frequency spectra. Using a careful analysis (excluding the interference of solar radiation and intensity of wind), we observed a clear peak in November due to an internal wave with period around 8 hours, which matched the theoretical calculation from the dispersion relation equation for V1H1 mode. Weak winds from southwest excited a V1H1 baroclinic mode. According to spectral analysis, after the passage of this long-basin internal seiches, we identified the formation of higher vertical internal seiche modes. In addition, we observe indications of V1H1 mode degeneration.

The presence of surfactants in the unsaturated zone is one of the scenarios where the flow depends on the solute concentration. The simulation of flow and transport of surfactants requires the coupling of flow and transport, where the surfactant concentration-dependent changes to water retention (i.e. changes in surface tension and/or contact angle) and hydraulic conductivity need to be considered. This research presents a numerical experiment that compares surfactant flow and transport under intermittent boundary conditions to that of a conservative tracer. A modified version of Hydrus 2D, with the concentration-dependent surface tension and viscosity effects, is used. The numerical experiment examines the effect of surfactant infiltration, redistribution and flushing in a low-water content unsaturated porous medium with a deep water table. The numerical experiment encompasses not only the hysteresis as a result of transient localised drainage and rewetting associated with the surfactant-induced pressure gradients, and the intermittent boundary conditions. The comparison of surfactant flow to that of a conservative tracer indicates significant differences for the same boundary conditions. The results from this experiment will be beneficial for the design and optimisation of infiltration galleries employing surfactants for soil and ground water remediation, as well as for the understanding the flow and transport of grey water in the unsaturated zone.

Birleşmiş Milletler kuruluşundan bu yana özellikle 90’lı yıllardan sonra aktif olarakuluslararasası barış ve güveniği koruma kapsamında etkin kararlar almaya başladı. ÖzellikleYugoslavya kriziyle birlikte uluslararası toplumda uluslararası barış için bir umutdoğdu. Artık soğuk savaş sona ermiş her iki bloğa ait devletler bir araya gelerek uluslararasıbarış için birlikte karar alabilir duruma gelmiştir. Hatta BM Güvenlik Konseyiuygulamalarında uluslararası ilişkilerde esaslı bir kural olan “iç işlerine karışma yasağı”(BM Sözleşmesi’nin 2/7. md) sebebiyle devletler arasında çatışma yokluğuna dayananbarışın “negatif barış” olarak anlaşılmasından yanında, bir devletin içinde de barış içindebirlikte yaşamayı ifade eden “pozitif barış” anlamıyla da uygulanması düşüncesi doğmayabaşladı. Fakat bu umut uzun sürmedi. Rusya’nın kısa sürede kendini toparlamasıylabirlikte yine uluslararası toplumda çıkarlara dayalı kararlar alınmaya başlandı. Mali krizibu alanda alınan son ortak kararlardan birisidir. Bu çalışmada Mali krizi çerçevesindeBM Güvenlik Konseyinin uluslararası barışın negatif anlamının yanında positif anlamıda kararında esas almış mıdır, sorusunun cevabı aranmaktadır.

Eğitim, birbiriyle alakalı unsurlardan oluşan bir süreçtir. Bu süreç, bir çocuğun bakımını,ahlaki terbiyesini ve eğitimini kapsar. Türkçenin eğitimi meselesini bu süreciniçinde düşünmek gerekir. Türkçenin temel bilgilerini alarak okuyup yazan kişilerin Türkçeniniçinden düşünmeleri, Türkçe eğitiminin önemli bir aşamasıdır. Türkçe eğitimininaslında kişinin kavrayış gücünün de eğitimi olduğu ve bunun edebî eserler marifetiyleyapılabileceği gerçeği, tarihimizde çok iyi bilinen bir husustur. Maalesef günümüzdeTürkçe eğitimi denilince akla ilk gelen şey, Türkçenin temel düzeyden ileri düzeye kadarkonuşma ve yazma eğitimi olmaktadır. Oysa bu, sınırlayıcı bir yaklaşımdır. Türkçeeğitimi sürecinin bir merhalesi olan bu merhale, bu eğitimin tümü gibi görülmemelidir.Asıl Türkçe eğitimi kanaatimizce bu merhaleden sonra başlamaktadır. Edebî metinlermarifetiyle Türkçe eğitiminin kişide idrak seviyesini geliştireceği aşikârdır. Günümüzdepopüler kültürün sıradan kitaplarıyla yüz yüze gelen kişilerin Türkçe eğitiminde gereklimesafeyi kat etmesi mümkün olamamaktadır. Bunun için Türkçe eğitiminde öğrencilerinkavrayış gücünü geliştirecek edebî nitelikleri olan şiirler, meseller ve mesel nitelikli özlühikâyeler kullanılmalıdır. Bu çalışmada Türkçe eğitiminde mesel nitelikli edebî eserlerinkullanılmasının işlevi ve önemi, meselenin Grek, Çin kültürlerindeki görünümünden örneklerverilerek ele alınacaktır.

Bu makalede Müşkilü’l-Kur’ân’ın bir kavram olarak ortaya çıkması ve hicrî III. yüzyıldanX. yüzyıla kadar nasıl bir anlam daralması geçirdiği üzerinde durulmuştur. İlk dönemlerdeayetler arasındaki zâhiri tenâkuz, anlam muğlaklığı, âyetlerdeki mecaz, teşbih,i‘râb ve kıraatle alakalı müşkilleri konu alan kavram daha sonraları sadece aralarındaçelişki olduğu zannedilen ayetleri konu edinmiştir. Bu kavram daralması birçok tartışmayıda beraberinde getirmiştir. Makalemizde bu tartışmalar analiz edilmiş, bu ilmin doğuşunuhazırlayan başlıca faktörler ve âyetler arasındaki müşkili giderme yolları işlenmiştir.Ayetler arasında var olduğu sanılan ihtilafın sebepleri, hikmetleri ve bu işkâli gidermeninhükmü üzerinde durularak; bu konuda günümüze kadar yapılan çalışmaların kronolojikolarak bibliyografyası verilmiştir.

Objective: To evaluate the impact on the quality of working life of Brazilian police officers with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 52 subjects and information was collected through the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and the Fonseca Anamnesis Index to evaluate the level of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), followed by clinical examination to determine the experience of dental caries, by means of the DMFT index. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis (chi-square test) was performed through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. The significance level was 5%. Results: The sample was predominantly composed of males (94.2%) with a mean age of 39.4 years (±9.4) and mean service length of 17.3 years (±11.0). The mean DMFT index value was 15.6 (±6.1), especially the "filled" component, whose mean was 12.1 (±5.4). The presence of TMD was found in 67.3% of the sample, of predominating mild degree (91.4%). Quality of working life (QWL) was classified as unsatisfactory/neutral by 57.7% of participants. There was a statistically significant association between QWL and presence of TMD (p<0.05); however, there was no association between DMFT index and the presence of TMD (p>0.05). Conclusion: Although military police officers presented a high mean DMFT index value, there was highest prevalence of the "filled" component, evidencing a past experience of caries and evidencing that this population has access to oral health services. The occurrence of TMD was high, predominating the mild degree, and there was an association with QWL.

For the past several decades, due to technical limitations, the field of transcriptomics has focused on population-level measurements that can mask significant differences between individual cells. With the advent of single-cell RNA-Seq, it is now possible to profile the responses of individual cells at unprecedented depth and thereby uncover, transcriptome-wide, the heterogeneity that exists within these populations. Here, we describe a method that merges several important technologies to produce, in high-throughput, single-cell RNA-Seq libraries. Complementary DNA (cDNA) is made from full-length mRNA transcripts using a reverse transcriptase that has terminal transferase activity. This, when combined with a second “template-switch” primer, allows for cDNAs to be constructed that have two universal priming sequences. Following preamplification from these common sequences, Nextera XT is used to prepare a pool of 96 uniquely indexed samples ready for Illumina sequencing.
Impact of early hyperoxia on 28-day in-hospital mortality in patients with myocardial injury v1
Authors: Hoon Kim Dong
Published: June 2018

Introduction Despite relevant evidence that supplemental oxygen therapy can be harmful to patients with myocardial injury, the association between hyperoxia and the clinical outcome of such patients has not been evaluated. We assessed whether early hyperoxia negatively affects outcomes in hospitalized patients with myocardial injury. Methods This was a retrospective study conducted at a tertiary referral teaching hospital. Between January 2010 and December 2016, 2,376 consecutive emergency department patients with myocardial injury, defined as a peak troponin-I level ≥ 0.2 ng/mL, within the first 24 hours of presentation were included. The metrics used to define hyperoxia were the maximum average partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2MAX), average partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2AVG), and area under the curve during the first 24 hours (AUC24). The association between early hyperoxia within 24 hours after presentation and clinical outcomes was evaluated using multiple imputation and logistic regression analysis. The primary outcome was 28-day in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes were new-onset cardiovascular, coagulation, hepatic, renal, and respiratory dysfunctions (sequential organ failure sub-score ≥ 2). Results Compared with normoxic patients, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for PaO2MAX, PaO2AVG, and AUC24 were 1.55 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05–2.27; p = 0.026), 2.13 (95% CI 1.45–3.12; p = 0.001), and 1.73 (95% CI 1.15–2.61; p = 0.008), respectively, in patients with mild hyperoxia and 6.01 (95% CI 3.98–9.07; p < 0.001), 8.92 (95% CI 3.33–23.88; p < 0.001), and 7.32 (95% CI 2.72–19.70; p = 0.001), respectively, in patients with severe hyperoxia. The incidence of coagulation and hepatic dysfunction (sequential organ failure sub-score ≥ 2) was significantly higher in the mild and severe hyperoxia group. Conclusions Hyperoxia during the first 24 hours of presentation is associated with an increased 28-day in-hospital mortality rate and risks of coagulation and hepatic dysfunction in patients with myocardial injury.
