Fragmentation metrics and fragmentation-aware algorithm for spectrally/spatially flexible optical networks
Authors: Lechowicz Piotr , Tornatore Massimo , Włodarczyk Adam , Walkowiak Krzysztof
Published: March 2020

Spectrally/spatially flexible optical networks (SS-FONs) are a promising solution to future traffic requirements in optical backbone networks. SS-FONs exploit the spatial dimension to increase the network capacity, while preserving the resource management flexibility, as they still operate within a flex-grid composed of small frequency slots (slices). A flex-grid makes it possible to realize transmission using super-channels (SChs) that comprise a set of contiguous slots. In this paper, we focus on spectral SChs, i.e., a SCh realized only on one spatial mode on each fiber. In SS-FONs, setting up and tearing down multiple lightpath requests within a flex-grid may result in spectrum fragmentation and, in turn, blocking of requests. In this work, we investigate several fragmentation metrics in a SS-FON. The problem of identifying appropriate metrics to measure fragmentation has been investigated in single-core elastic optical networks, but to the best of our knowledge, there is no such research available for SS-FONs. Therefore, we propose several fragmentation metrics for SS-FONs. We introduce the concept of bordering super-channels (B-SChs), i.e., SChs whose spectrum is allocated at the border of already allocated spectrum slots, which show promising results with regard to minimizing fragmentation. The investigation of all candidate B-SChs allows us to find the one that minimizes the network fragmentation and, in turn, spectrum waste. Hence, we propose a fragmentation-aware (FA) algorithm with bordering SChs that assigns optical resources to dynamic requests by utilizing information from the proposed fragmentation metrics and the set of candidate B-SChs. Experiments on a representative network topology show that the investigation of multiple B-SChs in the FA algorithm reduces the blocking probability when compared to the reference FA algorithms. Finally, we analyze the impact of a spatial continuity constraint on the network fragmentation.

O presente trabalho possui a finalidade de chamar a atenção dos estudiosos do direito material e processual tributário acerca da importância de se construir um processo judicial dentro das premissas constitucionais. Há um dever de observação com relação aos direitos e garantias fundamentais para reger os atos processuais que envolvam o fisco e o cidadão contribuinte. Deve analisar não apenas as normas previstas no artigo 5° da Constituição da República de 1988, mas também de Tratados Internacionais, normas infraconstitucionais e jurisprudências que versem sobre direitos e garantias do cidadão nas relações judiciais tributárias. O artigo assevera a função de a ação judicial em efetivar os direitos e garantias dos contribuintes e da própria sociedade que necessita ver seus direitos serem respeitados dentro das ações das políticas públicas, já que o povo é titular de todo e qualquer poder. O trabalho examina qual o dever do magistrado na condução dos atos processuais na busca pela equidade e quais os mecanismos estão à disposição do contribuinte para amenizar o seu desequilíbrio frente a Fazenda Pública, atentando-se que em um Estado Democrático de Direito o Estado também deve observância à lei.

Published: March 2020

Introduction: Rambutan seed is considered a waste by-product of fruit processing. The seed waste is usually discarded or disposed in a large amount without an economic value which has become an issue that needs to be solved.  However, the seed contains a considerable amount of crude fat. Aim: the purpose of this study was to characterize the physicochemical properties of oil of the seeds of three varieties of Malaysian rambutan fruit (R4, R7 and Serjan) for potential application. Materials and methods: In this study, colour, refractive index, viscosity, free fatty acid content, peroxide value, p-anisidine value, iodine value, saponification value, unsaponifiable matter, fatty acid composition, thermal behaviour, melting point, and solid fat content of rambutan seed oil from three varieties were used to characterise physicochemical properties of rambutan seed oil. Results: No significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed for free fatty acid content, peroxide value, p-anisidine value, saponification value, unsaponifiable matter, colour, viscosity and refractive index among three varieties. There are significant differences (p < 0.05) in the iodine value and melting point among the rambutan seed oil of three varieties. Varieties R7 and R4 seed had the highest (37.62 ± 0.10 %) and lowest (34.25 ± 0.07 %) crude fat content, respectively. Oleic (37.75-40.58 %) and arachidic (35.24-36.89 %) acids were the major fatty acids in the oil. Both melting and crystallization curves showed that the oil exhibited three distinct peaks. The complete melting and crystallization onset temperatures of the oil were 24.76–26.57°C and 21.19–22.79°C, respectively.Conclusions: This study reveals that the rambutan seed oil has potential to be used in various sectors of food industry. Therefore, rambutan seed can be fully utilized and, subsequently, the amount of waste can be minimized.

Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVES:

Immune activation and intestinal microbial dysbiosis could induce diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). We examined the roles of ileal immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgA-coated bacteria in IBS-D pathogenesis.

METHODS:

Peripheral blood, fecal samples, and ileal and cecal biopsies were collected from 32 healthy volunteers and 44 patients with IBS-D. Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to assess differential gene expression. IgA levels in the blood and fecal samples were quantified by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IgA+ cells were assessed by immunofluorescence imaging. Flow-cytometry-based IgA+ bacterial cell sorting and 16S rRNA gene sequencing (IgA-SEQ) was used to isolate and identify fecal IgA+ bacteria.

RESULTS:

Fecal IgA, particularly IgA1, was upregulated in patients with IBS-D. IgA class switch and B cell–activating factor-receptor were increased in the terminal ileum of patients. The intestinal microbiota composition was altered in patients compared with that in controls. IgA-SEQ showed that the proportion of fecal IgA-coated bacteria was increased significantly in patients with IBS-D. IgA+ bacteria in patients with IBS-D showed higher abundances of Escherichia–Shigella, Granulicatella, and Haemophilus compared with healthy controls and IgA− bacteria in patients with IBS-D. The Escherichia–Shigella IgA coating index was positively correlated with anxiety and depression. The Escherichia–Shigella relative abundance, luminal IgA activity, and some altered IgA-coated bacteria were positively associated with the clinical manifestations of IBS-D.

DISCUSSION:

Microbial dysbiosis may promote the terminal ileal mucosa to produce higher levels of IgA, increasing the proportion of IgA-coated bacteria by activating IgA class switching, which might regulate local inflammation and clinical manifestations in IBS-D. IgA may mediate the effects of microbial dysbiosis on the pathogenesis of IBS-D.

Ozkaya, O, Balci, GA, As, H, Cabuk, R, and Norouzi, M. Grey zone: A gap between heavy and severe exercise domain. J Strength Cond Res 36(1): 113–120, 2022—The aim of this study was to determine a critical threshold (CT) interpreted as “the highest exercise intensity where V̇o
2 can be stabilized before reaching 95% of V̇o
2max (V̇o
2peak)” and compare it with commonly used anaerobic threshold indices. Ten well-trained male cyclists volunteered for this study. Ventilatory threshold (VT) was determined from incremental tests. Multisession constant-load trials were performed to reveal V̇o
2max. Mathematically modeled critical power (CP) was estimated through the best individual fit parameter method. Maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) was detected by 30-minute constant-load exercises. The individual CT load of each cyclist was tested by constant-load exercises to exhaustion with +15 W intervals until minimal power output to elicit V̇o
2peak. The results showed that work rate corresponding to CT (329.5 ± 41.5 W) was significantly greater than that of the MLSS (269.5 ± 38.5 W; p = 0.000), VT (279.6 ± 33 W; p = 0.000), and CP (306.3 ± 39.4 W; p = 0.000), and CP overestimated both VT and MLSS (p = 0.000). There was no significant V̇o
2 difference between the 10th and 30th minute of MLSS and MLSS + 15 W exercise (0.36–0.13 ml·min−1·kg−1; p = 0.621). Exercising V̇o
2 response of MLSS + 15 W could not exceed the level of 95% V̇o
2max (57.02 ± 3.87 ml·min−1·kg−1 and 87.2 ± 3.1% of V̇o
2max; p = 0.000), whereas V̇o
2 responses greater than 95% of V̇o
2max were always attained during exercises performed at CT + 15 W (64.52 ± 4.37 ml·min−1·kg−1 and 98.6 ± 1% of V̇o
2max; p > 0.05). In conclusion, this study indicates that there is a “grey zone” between heavy and severe exercise domain. This information may play a key role in enhancing athletic performance by improving the quality of training programs.

Hajek, F, Keller, M, Taube, W, von Duvillard, SP, Bell, JW, and Wagner, H. Testing-specific skating performance in ice hockey. J Strength Cond Res 35(12S): S70–S75, 2020—Skating performance generally determines overall performance in ice hockey but has not been measured adequately in the past. Consequently, the aim of the study was to develop and validate a specific overall skating performance test for ice hockey (SOSPT) that includes similar movements and intensities as in competition. Ten male elite under-14-year and under-18-year old ice hockey players performed the SOSPT (2 heats only) and a 40-m on-ice sprinting test twice within 8 days. Additionally, 14 under-15, 18 under-17, and 20 under-20 male elite ice hockey players performed only the SOSPT (4 heats). Time was measured from the first subject's movement during a V-start until crossing the line (40-m on-ice sprinting test), first touch of the shoulder on the mat (heat #1 in the SOSPT) or first touch of the puck with the stick (heat #2 in the SOSPT) using a hand stopwatch. We found a high test-retest reliability of the SOSPT and 40-m on-ice sprinting test (interclass correlation coefficient, >0.7; coefficient of variation, <5%) with highly significant differences (p < 0.001) between the under-15, under-17, and under-20 players, a high correlation (r > 0.70) between an expert rating and the SOSPT, and a low correlation between the 40-m on-ice sprinting test and the SOSPT in the under-14 and under-18 players. The results of the study reveal that the SOSPT is a reliable and valid test to determine the specific overall skating performance in ice hockey players and is more suitable compared with straight skating tests of the 40-m on-ice sprinting test.

Kiely, M, Warrington, G, McGoldrick, A, and Cullen, S. Physical preparation strategies of professional jockeys. J Strength Cond Res 36(11): 3184–3189, 2022—Professional horse racing is a physically demanding sport. The aim of the study was to examine the physical preparation strategies of jockeys for racing. A questionnaire was developed and validated which comprised of 4 sections; (a) background information, (b) making weight and current associated exercise habits, (c) current physical activity practices, and (d) jockey perceptions of strength and conditioning (S&C) and current practices. Eighty-five jockeys (n = 38 professional flat, n = 47 professional jump) completed the questionnaire in race course weighing rooms representing 80% of the professional athlete population. In total, 77.6% of jockeys participate in physical activity outside of riding. Jockeys that participated in S&C (42.4%) reported their most frequent type of S&C practice; cardio (52.8%), high-intensity interval training (33.3%), flexibility and mobility training (8.3%), resistance training (5.6%). There was no significant difference in S&C participation between total flat and total jump licenses (p = 0.530; [PHI] = 0.068). Difficulty making weight was reported by 55.3% of jockeys. Exercise alone was used by 29.4% of jockeys to rapidly reduce weight. There was no significant difference (p = 0.201, [PHI] = 0.357) between the frequency of rapid weight loss per month for total flat (1.7 ± 1.7) and total jump jockeys (1.6 ± 0.5). This study represents the only published data on the physical preparation strategies of jockeys. Jockeys do not partake in physical activity, which mimics the repeated high-intensity demands of racing. Future research is required to examine the effects of specific S&C interventions on riding performance.

Varying the order of combinations of single- and multi-joint exercises differentially affects resistance training adaptations. J Strength Cond Res 34(5): 1254–1263, 2020—Our study aimed to compare the effects of multi-joint (MJ) and single-joint (SJ) exercises, either isolated or in combination, and in different orders, on cross-sectional area (CSA) of the pectoralis major (PM) and different heads of the triceps brachii (TB), as well as on the one-repetition maximum (1-RM) in the bench press and lying barbell triceps press. Forty-three young men were randomly assigned to one of 4 possible RT protocols: barbell bench press plus lying barbell triceps press (MJ + SJ, n = 12); lying barbell triceps press plus barbell bench press (SJ + MJ, n = 10); barbell bench press (MJ, n = 10); or lying barbell triceps press (SJ, n = 11). Results showed significant within-group increases in 1-RM bench press for MJ, MJ + SJ, and SJ + MJ but not for SJ. Conversely, significantly greater within-group increases in elbow extension 1-RM were noted for SJ, MJ + SJ, and SJ + MJ but not for MJ. Significantly greater increases in PM CSA were observed for MJ, MJ + SJ, and SJ + MJ compared with SJ. Significant increases in TB CSA were noted for SJ, MJ + SJ, and SJ + MJ, but not for MJ, without observed between-group differences. Individual analysis of TB heads showed significantly greater CSA increases in the lateral head for MJ, MJ + SJ, and SJ + MJ compared with SJ. Alternatively, significantly greater increases in the long head were observed for SJ, MJ + SJ, and SJ + MJ compared with MJ. CSA increases for the medial head were statistically similar between conditions. Our findings indicate that muscular adaptations are differentially affected by performance of MJ and SJ exercises.

Pearson, J, Spathis, JG, van den Hoek, DJ, Owen, PJ, Weakley, J, and Latella, C. Effect of competition frequency on strength performance of powerlifting athletes. J Strength Cond Res 34(5): 1213–1219, 2020—Powerlifting (PL) requires athletes to achieve the highest possible “total” weight lifted across squat, bench press, and deadlift. Athletes compete multiple times per year; however, it is not well understood how often PL athletes should compete to facilitate maximal strength performance. This study investigated the effect of competition frequency on strength (relative and absolute) in PL athletes over a 12-month period. Results across all male (n = 563, mean ± SD; age; 28 ± 10 years, body mass; 89.3 ± 19.3 kg) and female (n = 437, age; 31 ± 11 years, body mass; 70.1 ± 15.8 kg) PL athletes were collated. Total competition scores were used to calculate absolute and relative strength for each competition. Linear mixed models with random effects, and effect sizes ± 95% confidence intervals compared competition frequency and total score for (a) all, (b) male, and (c) female competition entries, respectively. The association between total score at each competition was assessed with Pearson's correlation coefficient for the same independent variables. Results demonstrate greater absolute strength at competition 2 for all athletes (5.1%: p = 0.043: d = 0.16) and males (2.9%: p = 0.049: d = 0.15). For females, absolute strength was greater at competition 5 compared to 1 (12.0%: p = 0.001: d = 0.65) and 2 (9.6%: p = 0.007: d = 0.50). Weak positive correlations for relative strength and number of times competed for males were evident between competitions 1 to 4 (r
2 = 0.070–0.085, p = 0.003–0.043). For females, 3 competitions weakly correlated with absolute strength (r
2 = 0.106, p = 0.016). PL athletes who compete multiple times per year are more likely to achieve higher totals; however, there is an upper limit to the number of competitions (4 per year) that seem to allow a performance increase.
Structure of RyR1 in native membranes
Authors: Chen Wenbo , Kudryashev Mikhail
Published: March 2020

Ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) mediates excitation–contraction coupling by releasing Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to the cytoplasm of skeletal muscle cells. RyR1 activation is regulated by several proteins from both the cytoplasm and lumen of the SR. Here, we report the structure of RyR1 from native SR membranes in closed and open states. Compared to the previously reported structures of purified RyR1, our structure reveals helix‐like densities traversing the bilayer approximately 5 nm from the RyR1 transmembrane domain and sarcoplasmic extensions linking RyR1 to a putative calsequestrin network. We document the primary conformation of RyR1 in situ and its structural variations. The activation of RyR1 is associated with changes in membrane curvature and movement in the sarcoplasmic extensions. Our results provide structural insight into the mechanism of RyR1 in its native environment.
Etika Falsafah Islam Perspektif Kesetaraan Gender
Authors: Syarif Edwin
Published: March 2020

Etika merupakan salah satu cabang kajian dari falsafah yang mengkaji secara mendalam tentang perilaku baik teori maupun praktek. Para failusuf muslim mengkaji tentang etika ini secara mendalam dengan tetap berpegang pada teks-teks al-Qur’an. Khazanah pengetahuan Islam klasik cukup banyak yang berbicara tentang etika di antaranya: Tafsir al-Qur’an, al-Hadis, Falsafah Islam, Tasawuf, Kalam.  Etika sebagai sebuah kajian filosofis belum mendapat tempat yang memadai dalam falsafah Islam, karena wacana syari’ah masih mendominasi. Sebagai akibatnya, literatur tentang etika falsafah Islam sangat minim. Pada saat ini, perkembangan pengetahuan dalam berbagai aspeknya, menuntut kesetaraan peran perempuan dengan laki-laki  di berbagai bidang kehidupan. Dalam teori gender melihat telah terjadi ketidakadilan, yang menempatkan perempuan dan laki-laki sebagai korban dari sistem tersebut. Dalam pandangan falsafah Islam masalah kesetaraan dan ketidakadilan perlu dilacak pada kajian nilai-nilai etis, baik yang bersumber dari al-Qur’an maupun rasional, sehingga dapat diketahui konsep manusia yang utuh dan adil baik perempuan maupun laki-laki.

This article elucidates the existence of Ushuluddin sciences  at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta in the past, its developments in form and substance, in appreciating the global developments of Islamic studies, and its connections with the wider academic world. If we look at the development of Ushuluddin’s curriculum, especially since the early 2000s (post-reform era), it appears that the disciplines take part in both national and global trends. However, its academics have not written in international journals indexed by Scopus.I n fact, they are very productive in writing articles in journals at the national level. Presumably, favorable regulations and comprehensive support from the government and universities are not maximized.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to evaluate the impact of training on brief interventions for use of substances on the attitudes; and, face validity and internal consistency of Brazilian versions of the Drug and Drug Problems Perceptions Questionnaire (DDPPQ-br) and the Short Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Perception Questionnaire (SAAPPQ) for use among teachers. Methods: methodological (N=122) and quasi-experimental study (n=27). A sociodemographic questionnaire, the DDPPQ-br and the SAAPPQ were applied before and three months after the training. For analysis, were applied the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. Results: the DDPQ-br and SAAPPQ were considered valid by experts. The training improved teachers’ attitudes towards accountability on the approach to substance use at schools and on the readiness to perform this role. In relation to drugs, it increased the perception of support. Conclusions: teachers’ training can improve their attitudes and strengthen the school in the function of preventing substance-related harm.

Published: March 2020

Abstract The issue of risk management has gained attention in the field of administration due to the dissemination of international frameworks. In Brazilian federal public administration, risk management is a recent and expanding practice. This research analyzes how international corporate risk management frameworks have been adopted by the federal government through regulations and guidelines. The study adopts the concepts of coercive, normative, and mimetic forces from the neo-institutional theory, and examines the presence of international norms in the Brazilian regulations. Through a qualitative approach, content analysis in documents, norms, interviews, and seminars was used to identify traits of the COSO ERM and ISO 31000/2009 frameworks, which were chosen based on relevance. Results identify important actors pushing for the use of international frameworks, such as international organizations, professional associations, and public agencies, especially those related to government audits. Despite the strong international influence, the Brazilian norms are adapted to the organizations’ context and allowing the maintenance of national autonomy.
Raízes da contabilidade orçamentária e patrimonial no Brasil
Authors: Azevedo Ricardo Rocha de , Pigatto José Alexandre Magrini
Published: March 2020

Abstract This article presents evidence of Italian influences on the Brazilian Public Sector Accounting in the early twentieth century, using the analytically structured history approach and the institutional theory. The study presents the institutional work developed by accountant Carlos de Carvalho in employing a new accounting methodology at the time. The article proposes a new perspective on the literature on the history of accounting in Brazil, suggesting that the emergence of budgetary and financial accounting was due to the innovation of local practices in a municipality of the state of São Paulo, and then expanded to the entire state, influenced by the Italian legal doctrine. Therefore, the use of dual accounting in Brazil during the early twentieth century was first disseminated in practice and transformed into legislation afterward. The Italian roots that influenced this movement are present in the current model, which is being reviewed by the current process of convergence to international IPSAS standards.

Abstract Latin American countries have undergone a growing interest in international accounting standards. Several countries are making progress in the adoption of international standards driven by different internal factors as well as external dynamics. The role of experts in the design of public policies associated with international standards has been studied by the epistemic community theory, which is the theoretical framework used in this study to address the influence of different international organizations on the adoption of IPSAS in Brazil and Colombia. This paper discusses the isomorphic institutional pressure exerted over the governments of these two countries in order to meet an international standard considered to be adequate. Meanwhile, the emerging trend towards the adoption of IPSAS in Latin America continues to grow, although some obstacles to achieving the goals defined in the reform arise.

Resumo Esta pesquisa avaliou a estrutura fatorial e a adequação psicométrica da Escala de Competências Profissionais para Policiais (ECPP). Após o desenvolvimento do instrumento de medida, realizado em três etapas junto a policiais e doutores dos campos de psicologia e administração, realizou-se uma etapa quantitativa com amostra de 916 policiais militares. As análises fatoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias apontaram uma estrutura bidimensional de 16 itens. O primeiro fator (competências comportamentais) está relacionado a aspectos que envolvem relações complexas entre habilidades relativas ao indivíduo e atitudes enquanto o segundo (competências técnicas) se refere a conhecimentos e habilidades necessários para o bom desempenho de atividades no serviço policial. Os resultados suportam a estrutura e apontam consistência interna e validade psicométrica adequada.
The politics of Brazil’s access to information policies: history and coalitions
Authors: Rodrigues Karina Furtado
Published: March 2020

Resumo Como as diversas iniciativas legislativas sobre acesso à informação no Brasil culminaram na aprovação da Lei n. 12.527 (Lei de Acesso à Informação [LAI], 2011)? A partir da abordagem de coalizões de defesa (advocacy coalitions framework - ACF), este artigo analisa a formação de agenda e a atuação de diferentes coalizões, por meio da análise de amplo clipping de notícias, entrevistas, leis e documentos publicados entre 2001 e 2012. Foram identificadas duas coalizões: a) uma a favor de mudanças na legislação, composta por setores do Poder Executivo, do Poder Legislativo, da mídia e da sociedade civil; e b) outra a favor da manutenção de regras restritivas de acesso à informação, composta por Forças Armadas, Itamaraty e Comissão de Relações Exteriores e Defesa Nacional (CRE) do Senado. Identificou-se, também, a superposição de dois subsistemas de políticas públicas: a) o de transparência; e b) o de reconciliação. Este último monopolizou o debate público sobre o tema, contribuindo para a morosidade na aprovação da LAI (2011). O Itamaraty também emerge como autor de forte lobby contra modificações nas regras de classificação de documentos, por motivos ainda a explorar em profundidade.

Resumo: Na presente pesquisa tem-se por objetivo analisar a Lei nº 13.104/2015, sua abrangência e hipóteses de aplicação, sua natureza jurídica, o sujeito ativo e o sujeito passivo, e a [in]adequação da qualificadora com o princípio constitucional da igualdade. O método utilizado foi o bibliográfico, visando, a partir do estudo de textos científicos, doutrinários e legais, ao incentivo do debate sobre a violência de gênero, objetivando a evolução cultural e a construção de uma sociedade justa, solidária e igualitária. Em conclusão, aponta-se para o simbolismo parcial exercido pela norma, a aplicabilidade da Lei às mulheres cis e trans, a constitucionalidade e natureza jurídica mista da qualificadora, com traços objetivos e subjetivos, nesta ordem, e, por fim, para os inegáveis equívocos legislativos que sugerem, mais uma vez, o simbolismo penal.

Abstract The number of studies related to soccer has been growing exponentially in the last years because the modality is considered the most popular in the world. It is known that the development of some specific physical capacities, even in young individuals, is essential to high-level performance and these capacities might be related to anthropometrics variables. The purpose of this study was to verify the relationship between body composition and physical capacities in young soccer players. Study participants were athletes from junior categories (under-12 and under-13) belonging to the Soccer Association of Chapecó, Brazil.. Athletes were submitted to agility, (Illinois), vertical jump (Sargent Jump), aerobic condition (TCAR), flexibility and sit-and-reach (Wells Bench) tests, as well as anthropometric assessment. All procedures were performed at UNOESC campus, Chapecó. Statistical analysis consisted of the Spearman’s Rô test, measuring the correlation among variables, additionally, significance level of p<0.05 was adopted. Results showed significantly correlation in agility (p=0.000; ρ=0.530) and vertical jump tests (p=0.003; ρ=-0.437) with body fat percentage. It was concluded that there is relationship between body fat percentage and agility and explosive power of lower limbs.

Abstract In urgency and emergency services, the bicycle is the second means of transportation more widely used by the victims at the time of the accident. However, aspects associated with major and minor accidents are poorly understood. The aim was to develop an instrument and test its reproducibility, in order to evaluate behavioral and environmental aspects related to cyclist safety. The instrument was based on footage taken through a camera attached to the cyclist helmet and from a review of literature. Take part in the study academics that used the bicycle to travel at least once a week. Participants were instructed to indicate any safety-critical events on their way and situations of minor gravity based on the perception of real imminence of an accident. In order to identify aspects related to cyclist safety, the routes were divided in periods of 30 seconds. In order to test inter-rater reproducibility, two researchers received theoretical-practical training and performed the instrument in a sample of 100 periods. In order to evaluate the intra-rater reproducibility, one of the evaluators performed a second application after 07 days. The reproducibility of the categorical variables of the instrument were tested through general agreement and Kappa index. For the variables with continuous measuring range, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was used. The percentage agreement varied between 88-100% and the Kappa values varied between 0.76-1.00. The ICC values ranged from 0.96-0.99. The developed instrument presents adequate reproducibility for use in research to evaluate the cyclist safety in urban contexts.

Resumo: Introdução: O modelo de formação médica no Brasil vem apresentando importantes modificações nos últimos anos. Com o lançamento do Programa Mais Médicos em 2013, cujo propósito era a formação de recursos humanos na área médica para atuarem preferencialmente em áreas carentes, sob a referência do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), e o posterior lançamento das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais, no ano seguinte, uma nova realidade se apresentou em relação ao internato médico, quanto à necessidade do módulo de saúde mental. O surgimento de novas escolas médicas, bem como a inexistência de internato de saúde mental em escolas mais antigas, pressupõe a reflexão e viabilização desse novo campo de atuação. O artigo propõe apresentar a experiência do curso de Medicina da Universidade São Francisco (USF), de Bragança Paulista, que desenvolve internato de saúde mental há 15 anos. Método: Como premissa estrutural estabelecemos cinco norteadores de organização, planejamento e execução do internato, respeitando a especificidade e realidade de cada curso no que tange à carga horária, ao corpo docente e aos cenários de aprendizagem. Resultados: O objetivo é apresentar informações sobre o conteúdo programático de saúde mental na graduação, a estruturação do internato, a existência de internato próprio de saúde mental ou vinculado a um módulo mais abrangente, a carga horária existente, a distribuição do número de alunos por módulo, o número de docentes e os cenários de aprendizagem existentes. Conclusão: Os autores apresentam o modelo de funcionamento do internato de saúde mental do curso de Medicina da USF, que deve servir como proposta de viabilização e norteamento para os cursos de Medicina que necessitam de um referencial de formação. A educação médica que se encontra em importante momento de inflexão deve formar profissionais que, mesmo não sendo psiquiatras, sintam-se preparados para as demandas de saúde mental, que se apresentam no cotidiano da atenção à saúde, sob a estruturação dos princípios básicos do SUS.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the occurrence of overweight in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria and to identify possible causal factors. Data sources: A systematic review was performed in the SciELO, PubMed and VHL databases using the descriptors “Phenylketonurias”, “Overweight”, “Child” and “Adolescent”. Original articles conducted with children and adolescents, published between 2008 and 2018 in Portuguese, English or Spanish languages were included. Data synthesis: A total of 16 articles were identified and, after screening procedures, 6 studies were selected for the review. Overweight in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria was a frequent occurence in the studies included in this review, ranging from 7.8 to 32.6%. The female sex was the most affected by the nutritional disorder. Furthermore, a high caloric intake combined with a lack of stimuli to practice physical activities were main factors associated with the excessive weight in the population of interest. Conclusions: Excess weight can be considered a common outcome in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria. It is mainly caused by inadequate food consumption and sedentary lifestyle. The importance of early identification of nutritional disturbances in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria should be emphasized, in order to prevent associated chronic diseases and to promote health by encouraging continued healthy eating habits and the regular practice of physical exercises.

ABSTRACT Objective: To use the spatial distribution of the sickle cell trait (SCT) to analyze the frequency of hemoglobin S (HbS) carriers in Sergipe. Methods: The sample consisted of all individuals born in Sergipe from October 2011 to October 2012 who underwent neonatal screening in the public health system. Tests were carried out in basic health units and forwarded to the University Hospital laboratory, where they were analyzed. We used spatial autocorrelation (Moran’s index) to assess the spatial distribution of heterozygous individuals with hemoglobinopathies. Results: Among 32,906 newborns, 1,202 showed other types of hemoglobin besides Hemoglobin A. We found a positive correlation between the percentage of black and multiracial people and the incidence of SCT. Most SCT cases occurred in the cities of Aracaju (n=273; 22.7%), Nossa Senhora do Socorro (n=102; 8.4%), São Cristóvão (n=58; 4.8%), Itabaiana (n=39; 4.2%), Lagarto (n=37; 4.01%), and Estância (n=46; 4.9%). Conclusions: The spatial distribution analysis identified regions in the state with a high frequency of HbS carriers. This information is important health care planning. This method can be applied to detect other places that need health units to guide and care for sickle cell disease patients and their families.

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the upper limb function and quality of life between children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy and controls with unaffected brachial plexus (typical children). Methods: Twenty-four children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy and 24 typical ones were evaluated, both groups with 10±3 years of age. The upper limb function was assessed by the Modified Mallet Scale and the Active Movement Scale, whereas quality of life was analyzed by the Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument and the Child Health Questionnaire. Mann-Whitney U tests investigated the differences between groups in such scales. Results: Children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy presented lower limb function compared to typical children in both scales. These children also presented lower scores for most of the Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument domains, except for comfort/pain. In addition, they had lower scores in the following domains of the Child Health Questionnaire: physical functioning, pain, behavior, mental health, overall health perception, emotional impact on parents, and psychosocial summarized score. Conclusions: Neonatal brachial plexus palsy has a negative influence on upper limb function and quality of life, mainly considering overall health, basic mobility, physical and psychosocial functions, happiness, pain, behavior, mental health, upper limb function, and emotional impact on their parents.
