Authors: Alviz-Amador Antistio , Gamero-Tafur Kevin , Caraballo-Marimon Roger , Gamero-Tafur José
Published: October 2018

Introducción. Dada la alta prevalencia de la infección del tracto urinario (ITU) y la significativa resistencia de los patógenos implicados, el mundo se enfrenta a un problema creciente de salud pública.Objetivos. Describir la prevalencia de ITU y uropatógenos y analizar los perfiles de susceptibilidad en los reportes de urocultivos del laboratorio de microbiología de un hospital de referencia.Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal con una muestra de 396 urocultivos positivos en el que se calculó la prevalencia de ITU, uropatógenos y perfil de resistencia microbiana. Se realizaron pruebas de hipótesis y regresión logística no condicional para conocer si existía diferencia estadística entre el género.Resultados. La prevalencia de ITU fue del 28%, los tres patógenos aislados más frecuentes fueron Escherichia coli, Escherichia. coli con ß-lactamasas de espectro extendido y Pseudomonas. aeruginosa. La mayor frecuencia de resistencia a antibióticos para estos patógenos fue ampicilina (66.6%), ceftriaxona (100%) y gentamicina (39.5%), respectivamente.Conclusiones. Por la alta prevalencia, el amplio espectro de uropatógenos aislados y la diversidad de perfiles de resistencia antibiótica, se evidencia la necesidad de desarrollar investigaciones locales que permitan orientar las acciones en salud y vigilancia epidemiológica.

Introducción. A pesar de la utilidad de la terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC), existe prevención hacia su uso en varios grupos poblacionales.Objetivos. Explorar y describir, desde el punto de vista de psiquiatras, médicos no psiquiatras y comunidad en general, los conocimientos, prácticas y actitudes respecto a la TEC.Materiales y métodos. Este fue un estudio de grupos focales en el que se hizo un análisis temático de las entrevistas.Resultados. Se evidenció que en la población general hay opiniones diversas, la mayoría negativas, y poco conocimiento, el cual proviene de la industria cinematográfica. Aceptar un tratamiento de TEC es siempre la última opción, pero con mayor información al respecto podría ser más considerado. Aunque los médicos muestran interés por conocer estudios sobre TEC, refieren que no han recibido formación y entrenamiento al respecto, además desconocen los avances en el tema. En el grupo de psiquiatras, los conocimientos, prácticas y actitudes dependieron de la experiencia y contacto con la TEC, pues aunque conocen su existencia, la mayoría no la usa ni la recomienda.Conclusión. Las prácticas y actitudes respecto a TEC en las poblaciones estudiadas varían según las experiencias y conocimientos que se tengan de este procedimiento.
Adaptation of the Regional Migration Policy to the Innovativeness of the Economy, Globalization and Demographic Challenges
Authors: Obushenko Tatiana N. , Gagarinskaya Galina P.
Published: October 2018

Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the embodiment of the theory of globalization enhances the impact of external migration on the social atmosphere and the economic situation in the region. The aim of the research is to determine the adaptability of migration policy to modern challenges in the context of enhancing human potential, innovativeness of production, demographic growth, and increasing gross regional product.
Materials and Methods. The research was based on the data from internal affairs bodies, migration services, statistical agencies, and the results of opinion polls. Foreign and Russian economic and sociological theories of migration formed the theoretical and methodological basis of the research. The systemic, demographic, historical, and geographical approaches were used.
Results. Modern forms of constructive interaction of migrants, the apparatus of regional administration, local authorities, and public institutions have been consid- ered. The degree of influence of migration processes on the labor market and human potential, on the growing sectors of the economy has been identified. Estimation of the region’s competitiveness on the working and living conditions of migrants, as well as on the development of the migration infrastructure has been given. The risks of implementing educational migration programs, business migration, and attracting high-class specialists have been identified. The work of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research in the region has been assessed; the most attractive sectors of the economy for foreign investors have been identified. The indicators for assessing the contribution of foreign labor to the economy of the region have been calculated.
Discussion and Conclusions. Practical significance for the selective migration policy is represented by the results of the analysis of the prospects for attracting highly qualified specialists to the region, proposals for the development of educational migration, and the results of calculations for assessing the contribution of foreign labor to the economy of the region. Further research may be focused on the increase in the fundamental nature of studying the degree of influence of migration policy on regional social and economic processes.
Del rondón a la fritanga: Referentes culinarios en la poesía de Nicaragua
Authors: Villalobos Carlos Manuel
Published: October 2018

Este artículo estudia el tema de la cocina nicaragüense como marca recurrente en la producción lírica de este país. Aunque hay algunas alusiones a este tema en el contexto de la poesía modernista, la mayoría de referencias al menú nicaragüense responden a una etapa reciente, que coincide con la popularización de este género, luego del triunfo de la Revolución Sandinista en 1979. Entre los textos que se consideran para este estudio destaca el poema “Menú nica” de Luis Rocha, publicado en 1996 en su libro La vida consciente, así como textos de Carola Brantone, Esthela Calderón, Blanca Castellón, Edgar Escobar, Róger Fisher y Carlos Perezalonso, entre otros autores. Uno de los descubrimientos relevantes de este trabajo es la constatación de que en la poesía caribeña nicaragüense la cocina es un tema prioritario, sobre todo como estrategia para representar los valores de la identidad regional. Gracias a este referente culinario en la poesía es posible determinar cómo se constituyen los códigos sintagmáticos y semióticos de la mesa nicaragüense.

Investigation into the Relatively Low Uptake of Residential Stock within South African Real Estate Investment Trusts
Authors: Nurick Saul , Boyle Luke , Morris Greg , Potgieter Jacques , Allen Oliver
Published: October 2018

Since the establishment of the first South African Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) in 2013, the listed property sector has seen significant growth with a current market capitalisation of R400 billion in comparison to 1998 where the market capitalisation was R5 billion. However, South African REITs invest less in the residential sector when compared to the global REIT market. The purpose of this research was to determine the factors that have attributed to this low uptake of residential stock. This was achieved using a qualitative survey consisting of semi-structured interviews with listed property fund managers and upper management from four REITs listed on the South African stock exchange. The findings indicated a number of factors that have influenced the low uptake of residential stock. These have been identified as the financial performance of residential real estate in South Africa, the nature of residential real estate, and the maturity of the REITs sector in South Africa. These findings make a valuable contribution to the very limited literature on REITs in South Africa. Furthermore, understanding these factors is crucial in further developing the REITs sector in South Africa which has the potential to catalyse broader developments for housing and the economy.
Management of Uncertainty in Real Estate Development Appraisals: A Literature Review
Authors: Ayodele Timothy Oluwafemi , Olaleye Abel
Published: October 2018

This paper provides an in-depth examination of various concepts related to the forms and sources of uncertainty, as well as the management of uncertainty in real estate development (RED). The study also examines factors influencing the adoption of Real Option Analysis (ROA) in RED given the need to improve the knowledge of stakeholders in RED appraisal, and to ensure best practices. Based on desktop analysis of past authors’ perspectives, orientations and submissions regarding the management of uncertainty in RED appraisal, the findings reveal that while there are varying forms and sources of uncertainty in RED appraisals, there are also diverse methods used to manage the uncertainty of it. It is, however, noted that the methods employed are dependent on RED appraisers and other institutional factors. The consensus from previous studies favours ROA in managing uncertainty in RED. This paper adds to the debate for the need to embrace ROA in managing the effects of uncertainty in RED appraisal.
Retained mind mapping skills and learning outcomes in medical students: a mixed methods study
Authors: Phenwan Tharin , Tawanwongsri Weeratian
Published: October 2018

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background: Mind maps (MM), is a learning method assisting learners in the visualisation of relationships between theoretical concepts. Studies also showed enhancement of data retention, overall comprehension, and creativity in MM users. Thus, MM has been implemented in many medical schools to facilitate medical students' learning experiences. Nevertheless, retained mind mapping skills and its effect on the learning outcomes in long-term follow-up remain unknown. Methods: A concurrent mixed-methods design with convenient sampling method. All (48) second-year medical students joined a three-day MM workshop. One year later, we surveyed the students who still use MM and those who did not. Mind Map Assessment Rubric (MMAR) and Grade Point Average (GPA) were compared between two groups. Content analysis with data triangulation method was used to explore their preferences and MM skills. Results: We achieved a 100% response rate. 39 (81.2%) of participants were female. The mean age of participants was 20.6 years (SD = 0.5). 37 students still use MM (77.1%). With MMAR, participants in MM group scored 28.9 higher than participants in MM-free group significantly (p = 0.01). There were no differences in the median GPAs to both groups. However, there was a significant correlation between using MM in learning and the second trimester (year1) (r=0.29, p<0.05). Majority of participants in MM groups stated the advantages of using MM as a tool helping those organising data and their thought process. On the contrary, students in MM-free group declared the disadvantages of MM as a time-consuming and missing data from lectures. Conclusions: Without revision in MM, participants' skills deteriorated immensely. There was a non-statistically significant trend toward increased learning outcomes with MM group. Further studies to examine whether more frequent MM use or workshop revision can boost their learning outcomes or not is recommended.

Статья посвящена изучению позиции женщин в органах государственного управления Российской Федерации. Анализируются 32 полуструктурированных интервью с молодыми женщинами, имеющими опыт работы на госслужбе. Интервью подвергнуты анализу с целью выявления основных тем, важных для этой группы женщин в связи с особенностями их деятельности. Изучаются их представления о том, является ли работа в органах государственной власти «подходящей» для женщин, и почему они в этой отрасли присутсвуют на всех должностях, кроме самых высоких. С одной стороны, мы выявили устойчивый стереотип в отношении разделения сфер труда на мужскую (власть, ответственность) и женскую (работа помощника, организатора или более творческая, но, скорее, индивидуальная – например, аналитик). С другой – отмечаются противоположные взгляды, характеризующие изучаемую группу женщин как обладающую высокой самооценкой и стремящуюся к «экспертной» самореализации. Таким образом, согласно оценкам наших собеседниц, женщины во властных структурах, как правило, не стремятся к высшим ступеням власти. Тем не менее их профессиональные стремления нацелены на самореализацию в карьере «специалиста в своей области»: рутинный труд их не удовлетворяет, проблематичной является низкая зарплата, женщины стремятся различными способами (должностной рост, длительные рабочие часы, переход в другую сферу деятельности) повысить зарплату. Это связано с их высоким уровнем образования, обуславливающего определенные притязания и самоуважение. Отсутствие стремления к высоким должностям у большинства связывается с тем, что для женщины продвижение по службе часто ассоциируется с невозможностью «личной жизни», которая требует времени и сил, а также баланса между домом и работой.
Challenging Turbulent Times: Towards a Framework for Girl-Led Transnational Dialogues to Combat Sexual Violence

Claudia Mitchell – PhD, James McGill Professor, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Email: Claudia.mitchell@mcgill.ca

Turbulent times in relation to sexual violence in the lives of girls and young women call for solidarity and global action. One of the effects of globalization is the increased recognition of a borderless world that, in some ways, erases the boundaries between 'over there' and 'over here', challenging some of the distinctions behind a Global North and a Global South. In this article, I offer an analysis of the issues behind sexual violence, which frame the possibilities for research teams working with girls and young women across the Global North and the Global South. At the same time, I highlight the possibilities for learning more about North-North and South-South interactions. What would such an approach entail and what kinds of strategies are useful for sustaining such a strategy in combating sexual violence? In particular, how can such a framework support dialogue? In order to address these questions the article suggests a practical framework which draws on the findings from a Canada-South Africa project, Networks for Change and in particular focuses on the importance of advocating for a public voice for girls and young women that is framed within an activist agenda. The article refers to this approach as a 'circles within circles' approach, arguing for both bringing together girls and young women who have been involved in participatory visual work from a number of country contexts, and ensuring that the circle puts girls and young women at the centre.

Este artigo discute a ação educativa escolar da Escola Municipal Antônio Campos, objetivando compreender o sucesso dessa instituição, localizada no bairro de Mãe Luiza, Região Leste do município de Natal, no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte. São três indicadores do sucesso: primeiro lugar no Prêmio Nacional Referência em Gestão Escolar, etapa estadual; 6.5 no IDEB; e não evasão ou repetência dos estudantes. Pesquisamos orientados pelo Materialismo Histórico e Dialético, a partir dos documentos da escola, pela a aplicação de entrevista livre conversacional e pela a observação da rotina diária da instituição. Concluímos que a rotina escolar, a relação dos responsáveis pelo estudante com a instituição, a tríade avaliar-planejar-avaliar, concretizada no acompanhamento contínuo e permanente do processo de ensino e aprendizagem do estudante, são aspectos que não restringem o pedagógico aos saberes que ocorrem, especificamente, no processo de interação aluno e professor na aula, nem é uma tarefa exclusiva desse profissional. Demais autores e atores da comunidade escolar também se sentem implicados com o processo de educação escolar dos estudantes. Esse pensar e agir pedagógico se apresenta, portanto, como um campo fértil, para uma escola socialmente referenciada.
Safe Routes to School? Black Caribbean Youth Negotiating Police Surveillance in London and New York City
Authors: WALLACE DERRON
Published: October 2018

In this article, Derron Wallace examines how Black Caribbean youth perceive and experience stop-and-frisk and stop-and-search practices in New York City and London, respectively, while on their way to and from public schools. Despite a growing body of scholarship on the relationship between policing and schooling in the United States and United Kingdom, comparative research on how students experience stop-and-frisk/search remains sparse. Drawing on the BlackCrit tradition of critical race theory and in-depth interviews with sixty Black Caribbean secondary school students in London and New York City, Wallace explores how adolescents experience adult-like policing to and from schools. His findings indicate that participants develop a strained sense of belonging in British and American societies due to a security paradox: a policing formula that, in principle, promises safety for all but in practice does so at the expense of some Black youth. Participants in the ethnographic study learned that irrespective of ethnicity, Black youth are regularly rendered suspicious subjects worthy of scrutiny, even during the school commute.
The Hidden Curriculum of College Athletic Recruitment
Authors: HEXTRUM KIRSTEN
Published: October 2018

In this article, Kirsten Hextrum considers institutional avenues that limit upward mobility opportunities by revealing a hidden curriculum of athletic recruiting that favors students from privileged backgrounds. The study's data center on forty-seven life history interviews with National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletes from an athletically and academically prestigious university. Hextrum's findings reveal three phases of a hidden curriculum—socialization, covert selection, and overt selection—that secure greater access to elite colleges for White middle-class communities via athletic participation. In this case, social reproduction required active effort by both representatives of higher education and representatives of White middle-class communities to protect existing class and race relations.

La ética, el desarrollo sostenible y la responsabilidad social en las organizaciones
Authors: Serrato Obregón Lucero
Published: October 2018

La ética es un tema que ha sido objeto de preocupación de la humanidad a lo largo de toda su historia. Aplicado el tema a la empresa, es un asunto de reflexión intelectual de los hombres en el último medio siglo, tal como lo formula el surgimiento de la responsabilidad social corporativa; es decir, el tema que antes se orientaba solo a los valores de sujetos dotados de razón, ahora es predicable de personas ficticias a quien la ley las dotó de condiciones excepcionales que las hace aptas para contraer derecho y asumir obligaciones. Los códigos de conducta laboral, códigos de ética empresarial, códigos de buen gobierno y líneas directrices empresariales son ejemplo palpable de la nueva condición empresarial.

El desarrollo sostenible surge como aspiración y anhelo social desde la década de los ochenta, temática que deberá sumarse a nuevos objetivos y estrategias organizacionales, situación que permitirá integrar las dimensiones ambiental, social y económica para formular una rendición integral de cuentas con respecto a la sustentabilidad.

Hoy por hoy, los sistemas de calidad se han convertido en una plataforma de proyección y crecimiento para todos los entes productivos. No obstante, la gran acogida de normas como la ISO 9001, se hace necesaria la incorporación de nuevas herramientas que permitan renovar estrategias empresariales y dar respuestas oportunas a nuevos requerimientos en cuanto a calidad, medio ambiente y seguridad, y salud en el trabajo. Por lo anterior, pensar en la implantación de un Sistema de Gestión Integrado (SGI), se ha convertido para las organizaciones en una solución práctica y acertada para optimizar la calidad en todos sus niveles. A continuación, se realizará una revisión documental de las normas que se vienen combinando para dar paso a los SGI y también aspectos relacionados con la acreditación en entidades de salud en el departamento del Atlántico.
COMPARATIVE ENERGY AND EXERGY ANALYSIS OF A POWER PLANT WITH SUPER-CRITICAL AND SUB-CRITICAL
Authors: ÇETİN Burhanettin
Published: September 2018

The aim of this
study that how to effect live steam parameters reheat and feed water preheater
numbers on efficiencies of energy and exergy at coal-fired power plants.
Moreover, two desuperheaters and a regenerative turbine are added USCPP (Case
3) to approach best results. Soma Power Plant (Case 1) consists of one reheat
stage, two HPRHs and four LPRHs with one DEA. It is operated sub-critic and
coal is used for a fuel. Live steam conditions of Soma Power Plant set at 13,92
MPa and 540 °C, and the reheat steam is reheated to
540 °C. Supercritical Power Plant (Case 2)
consists of the same main components of Case 1. However, steam parameters of
Case 2 are increased to 262.5 Bar and 600 °C to determine impact of the steam parameters on power plant
efficiencies. USCPP which consists of two reheat stages, four HPRHs, six LPRHs
with one DEA is designed to generate live steam under nominal conditions of 30
Bar and 600 °C. Besides, reheat steam are heated to
620 °C. Simulations have been carried out
Ebsilon Professional software and pressure drops at preheaters and reheats are
also considered. Some assumptions are made in the analysis. The thermal and
exergy efficiencies of USCPP increase by 9.241 and 8.06 percentage points
compared with Soma power plant, respectively. The results of this study that
live steam parameters which are increased from sub-critical values to
super-critical values have enormous influence on energy and exergy
efficiencies. Secondly, adding second reheat stage has positive impact to
improve power plant efficiencies. Finally, augmenting feed water preheater
number, adding two desuperheater and one regenerative turbine increase power
plant efficiencies. However, optimum numbers of feed water preheaters are
determined considering economic parameters.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF DEFROSTING PROCESS IN NO-FROST REFRIGERATORS
Authors: ÜNAL Fatih
Published: September 2018

Refrigerators
have high energy consumption because they consume energy throughout the day,
and they are used in all residences and in most offices. Designing more
efficient models and, thus, decreasing the energy consumption of refrigerators
have become necessary, owing to the global energy scarcity. The purpose of this
study was to decrease energy consumption and increase the efficiency of the
defrosting process in no-frost refrigerators. The defrosting process plays an
important role in the energy consumption of no-frost refrigerators. The amount
of energy needed for defrosting and the time it takes are important factors for
manufacturers in terms of energy performance. Recently, a theoretical correlation was developed as a function of
the frost thickness, heat flux, and frost density for estimating the defrosting
time of an evaporator fin surface. The melting time of the frost on the fin was
calculated by a mathematical model and compared to results that were obtained
experimentally. The results were differed from the actual melting time as 4.7%.
NUMERICAL STUDY OF MILK FOULING THICKNESS IN THE CHANNEL OF PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER
Authors: AOUANOUK Amine S.
Published: September 2018

Fouling phenomenon remains
at the forefront of problems that concern manufacturers using heat exchangers.
Despite the large number of studies carried out, the mechanism and the
evolution of this phenomenon remain poorly understood. In the dairy industry, fouling
is a very important parameter seen as it can affect the quality of food
product. Studies carried out on this phenomenon during milk heat treatment have
led to the conclusion that lacotglobulin protein is the main precursor of
fouling. Indeed, the thermal instability of this protein undergoes chemical
reactions generating an aggregate that accumulates on the hot walls of heat
exchanger. In this work, an attempt to model, numerically, milk fouling during
pasteurization was carried out. Wall temperature and fouling thickness
distributions were studied along the channel. This permits to determine a
mathematical relationship between fouling thickness and wall temperature.

Background: The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy and its impact on obstetrical outcome in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.Methods: This was a prospective observational study undertaken at antenatal clinics and indoor of BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur. Total 720 antenatal women, ≤20 weeks of gestation were recruited for the study. In all patients’ routine obstetrical investigations and thyroid function tests were done. All patients were followed up to delivery. Maternal and perinatal outcome were ascertained.Results: Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction among pregnant was found to be 21.1% and subclinical hypothyroidism (15.9%) was the commonest thyroid disorder. Most common complication observed in subclinical and overt hypothyroidism was preeclampsia (9.56 % versus 20%) followed by preterm labour (7.82% versus 10%). Major fetal complications in hypothyroid mothers included intrauterine growth restriction, low birth weight and stillbirth.Conclusions: Prevalence of hypothyroidism was found to be high in our study and was associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes; hence, thyroid screening should be included in routine antenatal investigations.

Background: High molecular weight (HMW) glutenin protein plays a crucial role in determining dough viscoelastic properties that determines the quality of wheat flour. The aim of the present study was to isolate, clone and analyze (in silico) the HMW glutenin gene of Triticum aestivum cultivar Dacke.

Methods: Primers were designed to amplify a 2445 bp fragment of HMW glutenin gene. Ax type HMW glutenin gene from Triticum aestivum cultivar Dacke was isolated using PCR and it was sequenced by primer walking.  

Results: Amplified HMW glutenin gene was designated as HMWGAx. Sequence analysis revealed a complete open reading frame encoding 815 amino acid residues with N- and C terminal non-repetitive domain and a central repetitive domain. The calculated molecular weight of the deduced HMW glutenin protein was ~88 kDa and the number of cysteine residues in the HMWGAx was four, in accordance with other x type HMW glutenin proteins. Phylogenetic analysis revealed 100% homology to the previously studied Ax2* type HMW glutenin gene from cultivar Cheyenne. Predicted secondary structure results showed that it was similar to1Ax1 type of common wheat (Triticum aestivum), having superior flour milling quality.

Conclusions: Sequence analysis suggests that HMWGAx protein significantly and positively correlates with the properties of elasticity and extensibility of gluten.

Background: Adhesive capsulitis of should is also called frozen shoulder which describes a chronic, indolent pathological process in which the body forms excessive adhesions across the glenohumeral joint which in turn leads to pain, stiffness, and loss of range of movements which compromises the quality of life. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and functional outcome of autologous PRP injection and hydrodissection in adhesive capsulitis of shoulder.

Methods: After excluding the patients who failed to satisfy the study protocol, the remaining 100 patients are divided equally into two groups namely group A (n=50) who receive autologous PRP injection and group B (n=50) who receive hydrodissection for adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. Both group participants are followed up pre-procedurally and post-procedurally at the end of 1st, 6th and 12th month for pain relief and range of movements. The improvements in pain and range of movements are charted in terms of VAS and DASH scoring system.

Results: The statistical analysis were done for 46 patients in group A and 45 patients in group B which showed a statistical improvement in pain and range of movements (p<0.001 for VAS score and p<0.01 for DASH score) in group A who received autologous platelet rich plasma therapy. Autologous PRP therapy improves the functional quality of life with a long term outcome.

Conclusions: For adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, autologous PRP therapy remains functionally superior than hydrodissection as autologous PRP is a constructive procedure by rejuvenating the degenerative tissues.

Objetivo: Avaliar a autopercepção em saúde oral de pacientes adultos e geriátricos, edêntulos totais e parciais tratados na Clínica Escola de Odontologia do Centro Universitário CESMAC. Material e Métodos: Estudo analítico observacional transversal. Foram avaliados 102 pacientes da Clínica Escola. Utilizou-se o índice de necessidade de prótese, que determinou o agravo do edentulismo e valeu-se para estimar a gravidade do problema na amostra. Os dados foram anotados em uma ficha clínica individual durante o exame do paciente. Resultados: Os achados possibilitaram identificar que, para os indivíduos da pesquisa, os dentes contribuíam para melhorar as relações sociais e a saúde, enquanto a falta de dentes foi associada a uma pluralidade de sentimentos negativos referentes ao relacionamento interpessoal. Conclusão: A compreensão de como os indivíduos pesquisados avaliaram a autopercepção em saúde oral parece ser influenciada por fatores como nível de escolaridade e condições socioeconômicas. Aspectos como aparência, mastigação e fonética não afetaram negativamente os indivíduos. Em contrapartida, os dados referentes ao relacionamento interpessoal apresentaram-se contundentes e demonstraram-se desfavoráveis ao comportamento da amostra frente às relações sociais.

Purpose Achieving successful gene therapy requires delivery of a gene vector specifically to the targeted tissue with efficient expression and a good safety profile. The objective of this work was to develop, characterize and determine if a novel gemini surfactant-based lipoplex systems, modified with a cancer-targeting peptide p18-4, could serve this role. Methods The targeting peptide p18-4 was either chemically coupled to a gemini surfactant backbone or physically co-formulated with the lipoplexes. The influence of targeting ligand and formulation strategies on essential physicochemical properties of the lipoplexes was evaluated by dynamic light scattering and small angle X-ray scattering techniques. In vitro transfection activity and cellular toxicity of lipoplexes were assessed in a model human melanoma cell line. Results All lipoplexes zeta potential and particle size were optimal for cellular uptake and physical stability of the system. The lipoplexes adopted an inverted-hexagonal lipid arrangement. The lipoplexes modified with the peptide showed no significant changes in physicochemical properties or lipoplex assembly. The modification of the lipoplexes with the targeting peptide significantly enhanced protein expression 2-6 fold compared to non-modified lipoplexes. In addition, p18-4 modified lipoplexes significantly improved the safety of the lipoplexes. The ability of the p18-4 modified lipoplexes to selectively express the model protein was confirmed by using healthy human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKa). Conclusion The gemini surfactant-based lipoplexes modified with p18-4 peptide showed significantly higher efficiency and safety compared to the system that did not contain a cancer targeting peptide and provided evidence for their potential application to achieve targeted melanoma gene therapy.
Analytical Method Development and Validation of Phenothrin, Promecarb and Penconazole in Tobacco using Liquid Extraction and Gas Chromatography
Authors: SEÇİLMİŞ CANBAY Hale
Published: September 2018

A sensitive method for the determination of
phenothrin, promecarb and
penconazole residues in tobacco has been developed. Several solvents such as,
hexane, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane were tested in order to minimize
agricultural products residue. In the study, the best recovery was achieved
with dichloromethane. Pesticides residues are extracted from the samples with
dichloromethane. Additional clean-up steps are not required for tobacco
matrices. Determination and quantification of phenothrin, promecarb and penconazole are
performed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC/FID) and gas
chromatography-nitrogen/phosphorus (GC/NPD). The method has been validated for
tobacco matrices.  Under the optimum
conditions, phenothrin R2 value 0.999,   promecarb
R2 value 0.999, and penconazole R2 value 0.999. Limits of
determination were 0.008 µg mL-1 for phenothrin, 0.011 µg mL-1 for
penconazole and 0.007 µg mL-1 for promecarb. The standard deviations (SDs) levels were in the range
0.01-0.20. Recoveries of phenothrin, promecarb
and penconazole from tobacco were found to be higher than 85%. Under this developed
method, the concentrations of phenothrin, promecarb and penconazole in the 10 tobacco samples were below the
LOD values.

RESUMO - O rendimento de cultivares de sorgo sacarino em planta de primeiro corte e na rebrota tem sido estudado para viabilizar o cultivo com menores custos de produção. Entretanto, dados qualitativos sobre a qualidade de caldo e rendimento de etanol entre safra principal e rebrota são escassos. Objetivou-se com este trabalho comparar genótipos de sorgo sacarino quanto à qualidade industrial e avaliar o efeito do tipo de colheita e biomassa processada no rendimento industrial para produção de etanol. Foi conduzido um experimento em blocos ao acaso com três repetições em esquema de parcela subdividida, sendo as parcelas constituídas por 20 genótipos de sorgo e as subparcelas pelos tipos de amostras processadas ou colheitas realizadas. Os maiores rendimentos de etanol, em termos absolutos, foram obtidos para CMSXS646 e BRS 511 na colheita de primeiro corte com colmos limpos. A utilização de colmos limpos promoveu, em média, um incremento de 13,5, 14,2, 13,4, 3,3, 7,9, 7,0, 8,0 e 16,4% para etanol, ART, ATR, umidade, ARC, Pol, °Brix, quantidade de caldo, respectivamente, e redução de 17,3% para fibra, em relação às amostras de colmos com folhas. O rendimento médio de etanol por tonelada de caldo extraído foi 28% superior no primeiro corte comparativamente à rebrota.Palavras-chave: Bioenergia, biomassa, °Brix, Sorghum bicolor.  INDUSTRIAL QUALITY AND ETHANOL YIELD OF SWEET SORGHUM GENOTYPES IN MAIN AND RATOON CROPS  ABSTRACT - The yield of sweet sorghum cultivars in first cut and ratoon crops have been studied to enable the cultivation with lower production costs. However, qualitative data on broth quality and yield of ethanol on main crop and ratoon are scarce. The aim of this work was to compare sweet sorghum genotypes regarding the industrial quality and to evaluate the effects of harvests and processed biomass types in the industrial yield for ethanol production. A randomized block design experiment was carried out with three replicates in a split plot design, being the plots composed by 20 sorghum genotypes and the subplots by the types of processed samples or harvests. The highest ethanol yields, in absolute terms, were obtained for CMSXS646 and BRS 511 in first cut with clean stalks. The use of clean stalks promoted, on average, an increase of 13.5, 14.2, 13.4, 3.3, 7.9, 7.0, 8.0 and 16.4% for ethanol, ART, ATR, moisture, ARC, Pol, ° Brix, juice amount, respectively, and reduction of 17.3% for fiber, in relation to samples with stalks and leafs. The average yield of ethanol per extracted juice ton was 28% higher in first cut compared to ratoon.Keywords: bioenergy, biomass, °Brix, Sorghum bicolor.
