Published: April 2018

O diabetes mellitus é uma doença metabólica causada pela alteração dos níveis da glicemia no sangue, devido á falta ou insuficiência de insulina produzida pelo pâncreas. O diabetes é considerado um sério problema de saúde pública, tanto devido ao número de pessoas afetadas quanto às suas complicações, suas incapacitações. Objetivou-se, neste estudo investigar o conhecimento e a prática dos portadores de DM tipo 2 com relação aos cuidados com os pés. Estudo descritivo transversal com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em 2010. Realizado numa clínica de especialidades da rede pública de saúde na cidade de Quixadá-CE. Para organização e análise dos artigos foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista. Os resultados mostram o predomínio do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 51 -80 anos. Apresentavam em média renda de 0 - 1 salário mínimo (92%). A maioria dos entrevistados eram analfabetos (68%) e aposentados (46%). Os entrevistados realizam a prática regular de atividade física que correspondeu a 54 % do total de entrevistados, e a maioria segue planejamento alimentar (94%) orientados pelo nutricionista. Constatou-se que os pacientes com maior tempo de diabetes mellitus estão entre 6-19 anos, equivalente há 52%. Observa-se escassez de conhecimentos por parte dos pacientes acerca dos temas abordados.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo relacionar a importância da Educação Financeira com o modo de controle das finanças pessoais, trazendo em pauta assuntos que influenciam diretamente o modo de o indivíduo se relacionar com o dinheiro. Para tanto, fez-se uso de pesquisa do tipo bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo, aplicando um questionário composto de 11 perguntas objetivas, com os servidores públicos do Centro Administrativo e Financeiro (CAF). No primeiro tópico foi explanada a influência do sistema capitalista no consumismo. Em seguida, no segundo tópico, são tratados os conceitos de Educação Financeira e Endividamento e a relação entre ambos. No terceiro tópico foram apresentados os dados obtidos na pesquisa de campo, bem como a análise dos gráficos. Ao final do estudo, concluiu-se que a Educação Financeira juntamente com um bom planejamento é uma excelente ferramenta para evitar situações de endividamento. Entretanto, a detenção do conhecimento não impossibilita que o indivíduo venha a somar as estatísticas de endividamento.

Authors: Moreira Leonardo Rocha , Cavalcante Francisca Linéia de Lima , Meireles Alandson Mendonça Ribeiro
Published: April 2018

Este trabalho apresenta uma avaliação crítica sistematizada sobre a utilização das tecnologias como uma prática pedagógica inovadora, com o intuito de substituir os métodos tradicionais de ensino, baseados no Instrucionismo, pelos aspectos relacionados ao Construcionismo. Nessa perspectiva é abordada uma evolução das tecnologias, desde as máquinas de ensinar, propostas por Skinner, até a utilização do computador e da robótica educacional, enfatizando os princípios da teoria Construcionista como mecanismos para uma inovação pedagógica, ressaltando o pensamento pedagógico de um dos estudiosos seminais do século XX que é Seymour Papert, contextualizando a importância da análise das suas ideias pedagógicas para o contexto social dos séculos XX e XXI. São apresentadas algumas seções que abordam mecanismos sobre a relação entre educação e tecnologia, robótica educacional, construcionismo e inovação pedagógica.
O MAU EMPREGO DAS EXCEÇÕES À REGRA DO CONCURSO PÚBLICO: UMA ANÁLISE DOS MUNICÍPIOS DE QUIXERAMOBIM E QUIXADÁ
Authors: Oliveira Lucas Brito de
Published: April 2018

Constitui objetivo deste trabalho esclarecer o conceito e alcance do instituto do concurso público, bem como suas exceções e requisitos, pretendendo revelar se nos Municípios de Quixeramobim e Quixadá o mandamento constitucional é observado, e, em não sendo, analisar eventual improbidade e crime de responsabilidade por parte dos administradores municipais. Neste trabalho, empregar-se-á o método lógico dedutivo, baseado na realização de pesquisas em livros, artigos científicos, legislação e posicionamentos dos órgãos superiores, além da coleta e interpretação de dados fornecidos pelos municípios estudados, em uma abordagem quantitativa de seus vínculos com os servidores públicos, tudo por meio de proposições conclusivas, enfrentadas na conclusão. Como resultado do trabalho, infere-se que, nos entes políticos analisados, há desproporção entre os vínculos estabelecidos sob formas ordinárias de admissão de servidores, e os que representam exceções ao concurso público. Isto revela um mau emprego das exceções ao concurso público, o que constitui indícios de improbidade administrativa e crime de responsabilidade atribuíveis aos gestores municipais.

Published: April 2018

O presente artigo tem por escopo analisar a teoria do controle de convencionalidade na ótica do atual sistema de verificação de validade das normas, tendo em vista os tratados internacionais de direitos humanos em vigor e sua utilização como parâmetro para o controle judicial das normas infraconstitucionais e atos do poder público. Para tanto, a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e jurisprudencial, busca-se nos pressupostos do direito internacional público e do direito constitucional, os elementos que fundamentam o necessário diálogo entre as ordens interna e externa e sua direta relação com a concretização do princípio pro homine. Nesse sentido, o trabalho abordará os aspectos gerais acerca da natureza jurídica dos tratados que versam sobre direitos humanos, à luz do novel processo constitucional de internalização desses diplomas normativos e o propício desenvolvimento de uma teoria de controle de convencionalidade, ampliando, ainda mais, o leque protetivo da força normativa da Constituição. Ao final, busca-se enfatizar o quanto é primevo a utilização dessa nova modalidade de controle no exercício da atividade jurisdicional.

Identification of Key Proteins Associated with Myocardial Infarction using Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
Authors: Ahammad Ishtiaque
Published: April 2018

Myocardial infarction, more commonly known as heart attack, is a huge health problem around the world. It is a result of inadequate blood supply to certain parts of the heart and death of heart muscle cells in that region. Although it has been around for a long time, newer and newer ways of probing myocardial infarction is being followed. Bioinformatics and Systems Biology are relatively recent fields to try to give new insights into myocardial infarction. Following the footsteps of others, this in silico study has tried to chime in on the investigation into myocardial infarction. The study began with the gene expression omnibus dataset uploaded to the NCBI from a whole-genome gene expression analysis carried out at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. From the dataset, differentially expressed genes following first-time myocardial infarction were identified and classified into up-regulated and down-regulated ones. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was carried out on the up-regulated genes which were statistically significant and corresponded with the NCBI generated annotations. Protein-Protein Interaction Network for these genes was constructed. GSEA revealed 5 transcription factors, 5 microRNAs and 3 pathways significantly associated with them. From the Protein-Protein Interaction Network, 6 key proteins (hub nodes) have been identified. These 6 proteins may open a new window of opportunity for the discovery/design of new drugs for mitigating the damage caused by myocardial infarction.
A Synergistic LUMO Lowering Strategy Using Lewis Acid Catalysis in Water to Enable Photoredox Catalytic, Functionalizing C-C Cross-Coupling of Styrenes
Authors: Speckmeier Elisabeth , Fuchs Patrick J. W. , Zeitler Kirsten
Published: April 2018

Easy available alpha-carbonyl acetates serve as convenient alkyl radical source for an efficient, photocatalytic crosscoupling with a great variety of styrenes. Activation of electronically different alpha-acetylated acetophenone derivatives could be effected via LUMO lowering catalysis using a superior, synergistic combination of water and (water-compatible) Lewis acids. Deliberate application of fac-Ir(ppy)3 as photocatalyst to enforce an oxidative quenching cycle is crucial to the success of this (umpolung type) transformation. Mechanistic particulars of this dual catalytic coupling reaction have been studied in detail using both Stern-Volmer and cyclic voltammetry experiments. As demonstrated in more than 30 examples, our waterassisted

LA/photoredox catalytic activation strategy allows for excess-free, equimolar radical cross-coupling and subsequent formal Markovnikov hydroxylation to versatile 1,4-difunctionalized products in good to excellent yields.

Authors: Abdulameer Naser Shaimaa
Published: April 2018

The most frequently used treatment to induce ovulation is clomiphene citrate,which unfortunately has the disadvantage of causing impaired endometrial growth.For successful conception to be achieved,optimal endometrial conditions are mandatory. The idea of giving vitamin C and E to infertile women on clomiphene citrate has been raised in published literature; however,the subject is still controversial.To study the effect of adding vitamins C and E supplementation to infertile women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation,on endometrial thickness and vascularity.The present case control study included 80 infertile women visiting infertility unit at Maternity and child hospital / Al-Dewaniyha city/ Iraq. From June 2014 to June 2016. Their age range was 20 to 35 years. They were classified into two groups: the first one included 40 patients and were treated using combine therapy of clomiphine citrate and vitamin E,C, and the second group included 40 infertile women treated with clomiphine citrate only. Median endometrial thickness was significantly greater in group 1 than that of group 2,4.5 mm versus 3.1 mm on day 2 and 8.3 m versus 5.9 mm on day 12,respectively (P<0.001). Median endometrial vascular resistance was not significantly different in day 2; however, it was significantly lower in group 1 compared to that of group 2 when assessed in day 12,0.4 versus 0.6,respectively (P<0.001). Administration of vitamins E and C to subfertile women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation causes significant improvement in endometrial thickness and vascularity through anti-oxidant mechanism

Pokok sengketa yang menjadi perdebatan dan tafsir dalam gugatannya adalah pengertian tanah telantar dan mengenai surat peringatan sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 8 Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 11 Tahun 2010 tentang Penertiban dan Pendayagunaan Tanah Telantar serta implikasi pasca pembatalan surat keputusan penetapan tanah telantar oleh pengadilan tata usaha negara. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimanakah penafsiran pengertian tanah telantar dan penafsiran mengenai surat peringatan dalam Putusan Nomor 24/G/2013/PTUN.JKT, serta apa implikasi pembatalan surat keputusan penetapan tanah telantar pasca Putusan Nomor 24/G/2013/PTUN.JKT? Melalui metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus dapat disimpulkan bahwa adanya perbedaan penafsiran mengenai pengertian tanah telantar terkait dengan frase “dengan sengaja” dan “tidak sengaja,” majelis hakim berpendapat bahwa hambatan pemanfaatan tanah karena menunggu proses permohonan pelepasan kawasan hutan dan permasalahan tata ruang serta kendala terhadap pembebasan lahan dan proses ganti rugi disimpulkan sebagai unsur ketidaksengajaan. Implikasi pembatalan surat keputusan penetapan tanah telantar adalah tidak dapat didayagunakan untuk kepentingan masyarakat dan negara.Kata kunci: surat keputusan penetapan, tanah telantar, putusan pengadilan. ABSTRACTDecision of State Administrative Court Number 24/G/2013/PTUN.JKT constitutes a ruling of the revocation of a derelict land settlement agreement derived from Cultivation Rights on behalf of SMG Company. The subject of the dispute debated in the interpretation of the lawsuit is the definition of derelict land and warning letters, as regulated in Article 8 of Government Regulation Number 11 of 2010 regarding Policies and Utilization of Derelict Land and the implications of post-revocation of derelict land stipulated decree by the Administrative Court. The formulation of the problem in this research is the interpretation of derelict land definition and warning letters in the Administrative Court Decision Number 24/G/2013/PTUN.JKT, as well as the implication of revocation of derelict land settlement agreement after the court decision issuance. Through normative legal research method with case study approach, it can be underlined that there is difference in interpretation of the definition of derelict land related to the phrase “intentionally” and “unintentionally”, in which the judges argue that barriers to land utility are the still-in-process request of forest areas acquisition, spatial problems and constraints to land acquisition, as well as the compensation process concluded as an element of inadvertence. The revocation of the settlement agreement makes it impossible to use the derelict land for benefit of the people and the state.Keywords: determination decree, derelict land, court decision.

Published: April 2018

RESUMENEl presente artículo discute los desafíos del trabajo social con comunidades en el actual contexto, en que la acción colectiva se ve entrampada en Chile hoy y en el mundo de la aldea globalizada, por las tendencias hacia la atomización y la desarticulación, con participaciones específicas y centradas en la resolución del conflicto, lo que pone de manifiesto la necesidad de detenerse y analizar las formas en cómo se ejerce hoy la participación de la comunidad, cómo se desarrolla el empoderamiento social, y cómo la acción colectiva es capaz de otorgar legitimidad y dotar de poder social y político a la experiencia comunitaria. De modo que los desafíos existentes hoy sobre la comunidad, van desde el poder que ésta ostenta en materia decisional; el respaldo de proyectos a nivel local que sean de interés nacional, hasta llegar a la normativa de su accionar, para el caso de Chile, con una nueva Ley de Participación, recién estrenada en febrero del presente año, que norma la participación comunitaria.Palabras clave: Comunidad - acción colectiva - cohesión social - nueva ley de participación en Chile.

El artículo aborda los problemas de equidad e inclusión en la educación superior en Chile desde una perspectiva que se sitúa más próxima al campo de la sociología de la Educación. Desde allí la perspectiva teórica que sirve de marco orientador del estudio se plantea la posibilidad de comprensión de los fenómenos sociales desde las creencias y acciones de los sujetos. También se asume que el logro de la justicia en una sociedad determinada y en la educación en particular, trasciende a la distribución equitativa de recursos y requiere que los actores educativos, caracterizados por una mayor diversidad, se reconozcan mutuamente unos a otros como lo plantean los teóricos del reconocimiento (Honneth, 2010).Palabras clave: Equidad, inclusión, educación superior, creencias, reconocimiento.Diversidade Cultural e Equidade em Faculdades privadas com Projeto de InclusãoO artigo aborda os problemas de Equidade e Inclusão no ensino superior no Chile desde uma perspectiva que se situa mais próxima ao campo da sociologia da Educação.

La creciente complejidad de lo social desafía constantemente cualquier intento de transformación social. La persistencia de problemas sociales como la pobreza y la desigualdad, no pueden sino ser el foco de atención de profesiones como el Trabajo Social, cuya vocación más profunda es el cambio social. La encarnación de esta vocación, vale decir, la intervención social, debe apoyarse en herramientas que permitan al profesional fundamentar su acción, desde una profunda comprensión de los fenómenos sociales a fin de hacer emerger nuevas dimensiones de dichos fenómenos. Los imaginarios sociales, entendidos como aquellas representaciones colectivas que nos permiten relacionarnos con el entorno, constituyen una interesante apuesta para una comprensión compleja en Trabajo Social. El presente artículo muestra parte de los resultados de una investigación acerca de los imaginarios sociales relativos a la desigualdad en Chile y su pertinencia y utilidad para satisfacer el constante deseo de transformación del Trabajo Social.
Influence of load and reinforcement content on selected tribological properties of Al/SiC/Gr hybrid composites
Authors: Veličković Sandra , Miladinović Slavica , Stojanović Blaža , Nikolić Ružica R. , Hadzima Branislav , Arsić Dušan
Published: April 2018

Hybrid materials with the metal matrix are important engineering materials due to their outstanding mechanical and tribological properties. Here are presented selected tribological properties of the hybrid composites with the matrix made of aluminum alloy and reinforced by the silicon carbide and graphite particles. The tribological characteristics of such materials are superior to characteristics of the matrix – the aluminum alloy, as well as to characteristics of the classical metal-matrix composites with a single reinforcing material. Those characteristics depend on the volume fractions of the reinforcing components, sizes of the reinforcing particles, as well as on the fabrication process of the hybrid composites. The considered tribological characteristics are the friction coefficient and the wear rate as functions of the load levels and the volume fractions of the graphite and the SiC particles. The wear rate increases with increase of the load and the Gr particles content and with reduction of the SiC particles content. The friction coefficient increases with the load, as well as with the SiC particles content increase.
Prediction of fatal accidents in Indian factories based on ARIMA
Authors: SVS Rajaprasad
Published: April 2018

The inherent benefits of an accident prevention program are generally known only after an accident has occurred. The purpose of implementation of the program is to minimize the number of accidents and cost of damages. Allocation of resources to implement accident prevention program is vital because it is difficult to estimate the extent of damage caused by an accident. Accurate fatal accident predictions can provide a meaningful data that can be used to implement accident prevention program in order to minimize the cost of accidents. This paper forecast the fatal accidents of factories in India by using Auto-Regressive Integrating Moving Average Method (ARIMA) model. Accident data for the available period 1980 to 2013 was collected from the Labour bureau, Government of India to analyze the long term forecasts. Different diagnostic tests are applied in order to check the adequacy of the fitted models. The results show that ARIMA (0, 0, 1) is suitable model for prediction of fatal injuries. The number of fatal accidents is forecasted for the period 2014 to 2019. These results suggest that the policy makers and the Indian labour ministry must focus attention toward increasing fatal accidents and try to find out the reasons. It is also an opportunity for the policy makers to develop policies which may help in minimizing the number fatal accidents.

Authors: Barosz Piotr , Dudek-Burlikowska Marta , Roszak Marek
Published: April 2018

The aim of this article is to show the use of the analysis of the failure causes and effects as a prevention tool in controlling the quality of a given production process in the company. The scope of the work covers an analysis of a selected process, definition of inconsistencies present in this process, and then the FMEA analysis. In the production company one should implement thinking and actions based on the so-called ‘quality loop’ – it is an interdependence model of the undertaken actions which affect the quality shaping. It is carried out from the possibility for identifying a customer’s requirements through a project, production process, up to the assessment of effective capability for meeting the defined requirements.

The application of such an approach enables to take the actions improving the operation of quality management in a systemic way.

BACKGROUND: Early detection and prompt reporting of epidemic prone diseases (EPD’s) has been cited as the pivot in the surveillance and control of outbreaks. The contributions by clinical staff towards early detections is highly relevant, however the level of knowledge and attitude towards reporting remains unknown. The study was therefore conducted to examine the knowledge and reporting standards of clinical staff towards outbreak investigations. METHODS: A cross sectional study design was conducted in Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), tertiary hospital in Kumasi-Ghana between February and May 2013. Stratified, simple random sampling was used to select 111 participants and a structured questionnaire used as the instrument for data collection.RESULTS: The mean age was 31.1(±6.8) years. About 87% (n=95/111) indicated knowledge of EPD’s. More than half of these, 62.1% (n=59/95) had no idea of the definition and 30.5% (n=29/95) gave correct definition of EPD’s but had limited knowledge on the laboratory specimen required for its investigation. About 48% (n=46/95) of the respondents indicated that they would consult the nurse-in-charge of the ward instead of the public health official when an outbreak is suspected.CONCLUSION: The knowledge level of EPD’s was generally low but was found to be high with meningitis and poliomyelitis. The study has shown that the procedure for reporting EPD’s remains a challenge in the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. A protocol on outbreak investigation procedures would address the gaps identified in the study.

Rabies is a source of concern for Public Health Officials. It is known to have a case fatality of 100% worldwide. Of all cases reported, 95% occurred in Africa and Asia put together. The Ghana Office of Rabies in West Africa (RIWA) suggests that the numbers in Ghana maybe underreported due to ineffective surveillance systems. The study therefore reviewed medical records of all suspected rabies cases and case-based forms filed by Disease Control Officers to the Disease Surveillance Unit of the Ghana Health Service. Twenty-one cases of suspected human rabies cases were reported in the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) from January 2013 to January 2015. A little of 50% of cases were males. A third of the cases did not receive PEP though they reported to a health facility. On the average cases were reported 2 months after the exposure.  This study also reported 100% fatality with 60% dying within 24 hours post admission. It is recommended that there is effort aimed at Public Education and also to control stray dogs. Governments are also admonished to make available PEPs at health facilities.
