Agricultural Science and Organic Farming: Time to Change Our Trajectory
Authors: McGuire Andrew M.
Published: November 2017

Core Ideas

Organic farming bans nearly all synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Research shows that these materials can be the best solution to specific problems.

Agricultural science has incrementally embraced organic farming.

Mingling ideology and science compromises science and misleads the public.

Agricultural science should change its trajectory with regard to organic farming.

Organic farming bans all rates and uses of nearly every synthetic fertilizer and pesticide. This comprehensive ban ignores the range of differences in these materials, from dangerous to benign, and ignores research showing that specific uses and rates of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides can be the best solution to specific agricultural problems. Although organic farming emphasizes beneficial practices like crop rotation and application of manure and compost, it is this ideological ban that defines a farm as “organic.” Despite this rigid rejection of some parts of modern farm technology, organic farming has been incrementally embraced by agricultural science, influencing research, education, and outreach. Mingling ideology and science compromises science, misleads the public, and hinders efforts to sustain agriculture. It is time to review our relationship as agricultural scientists to organic farming and change the current trajectory.

Core Ideas

Basal silicon promotes rice growth and development at the tillering stage.

After flooding, foliar spraying N or silicon timely had a better effect.

Foliar spraying N had more advantages than silicon.

Flooding is a major threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) yields. We wondered if basal Si and foliar spraying fertilizer had an influence on rice submerged at tillering stage. The results showed that basal Si application promoted rice growth and development at the tillering stage, improving rice seedling tolerance to submergence stress. After the occurrence of flooding, timely foliar spraying of N or Si had significant remedial effects, and spraying N along with Si had a better effect. The combination of basal Si and post‐flooding N and Si spraying was the most promising method of nutrient application and as resistance to damage during submergence was enhanced, plants rapidly resumed growth and development. By maintaining a great number of green leaves and tillers as well as higher aboveground and belowground dry mass, sugar contents and antioxidant enzyme activities, these plants yielded significantly more grain. We conclude that reasonable use of Si leads to resistance and alleviation of the damaging effects of submergence and contributes to reducing yield losses in rice.
Multi‐Year Effects of Biochar, Lipo‐Chitooligosaccharide, Thuricin 17, and Experimental Bio‐Fertilizer for Switchgrass
Authors: Arunachalam Selvakumari , Schwinghamer Timothy , Dutilleul Pierre , Smith Donald L.
Published: November 2017

Core Ideas

Semi‐Markovian models indicate a positive effect of biochar on switchgrass dry weight.

Recursive models show stem number affected fresh weight, which increased dry weight.

Switchgrass responds to thuricin 17, an experimental signal compound.

Previous research indicated that plant height and tillering contributed to the yield of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) transplants that were spaced at distances of 30 to 107 cm. In Québec, applications of 20 t ha−1 biochar to a sandy soil increased switchgrass biomass fertilized at 100 kg N ha−1. Therefore, the research objectives of this study were to determine whether or not (i) 10 t ha−1 softwood biochar affects traits that contribute to dry weight of fertilized switchgrass; (ii) these traits are affected by: a bacteriocin of Bacillus thurigiensis NEB17 (thuricin 17), a lipo‐chitooligosaccharide of Bradyrhizobium japonicum 532C, and an experimental bio‐fertilizer; and (iii) the path modeling of treatment effects change over time. The experiment was arranged as a randomized complete block design with 11 treatments. For the establishment year, semi‐Markovian path models built on rank‐transformed data indicate that biochar increased dry weight of the aboveground portion of biomass (bBiochar,DW = 0.20 ± 0.15). The data from subsequent years indicate that the stems count per plant directly affected fresh weight (bStems,FW = 0.65 ± 0.09 in 2014 and 0.56 ± 0.11 in 2015), which in turn directly affected dry weight (bFW,DW = 0.89 ± 0.03 in 2014 and 0.83 ± 0.05 in 2015). Thuricin 17 increased the switchgrass height (bT17,Height = 0.26 ± 0.10 based on 2014 and 2015 combined data). In conclusion, biochar can increase switchgrass height and dry weight in the establishment year, thuricin 17 can increase plant height in post‐establishment years, and therefore the effects change over time.
Effects of Nursery Tray and Transplanting Methods on Rice Yield

Published: November 2017

Core Ideas

The grain yield was highest in the Pot‐S treatment, followed by the Pot‐flat‐S treatment and the Flat‐S treatment.

Insufficient sink size (number of effective panicles multiplied by number of spikelets per panicle) is the key factor in the grain yield reduction in the Flat‐S treatment.

The spatial distribution characteristics of the first and second leaves were crucial for the high yield formation of mechanically transplanted rice.

The objective of this 2‐yr field experiment was to compare the performance of three rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars grown in three different nursery trays and mechanically transplanted using compatible machinery. The three treatments were a blanket‐type nursery tray (Flat‐S treatment), a bowl‐type nursery tray (Pot‐S treatment), and a pot‐style/blanket‐type nursery tray (Pot‐flat‐S treatment). The net photosynthetic rate, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation, and matter translocation from the sheath at flowering to the kernel were significantly higher in the Pot‐S treatment than in other two treatments (p < 0.05). The highest grain yield was in the Pot‐S treatment (9.15–11.81 × 103 kg ha–1), followed by the Pot‐flat‐S treatment (8.84–10.62 × 103 kg ha–1), and then the Flat‐S treatment (8.3–9.78 × 103 kg ha–1). Low yields were attributed mainly to weak sink characteristics. The relative heights of the top three leaves on the plant were higher in the Pot‐S treatment than in the other two treatments, and there was more space between adjacent leaves at the top of the canopy in the Pot‐S treatment than in the other two treatments. The flag leaf area, the height difference between the first and third leaves (HDfirst‐third) and between the second and third leaves (HDsecond‐third), the relative height of the first leaf, and the droop angle of the first leaf significantly affected the source and sink traits. Moreover, HDfirst‐second and HDfirst‐third significantly and directly affected grain yield. Thus, the HDs of the top three leaves were crucial for high yields of mechanically transplanted rice.

Published: November 2017

Accurate and timely diagnosing of nitrogen (N) requirements for crop growth is vital for improving the efficiency of N use and reducing the risk of N losses. This study conducted a comparison of N dilution curves with urea and controlled‐release N fertilizer (CRN) to explore the applicability of critical N curve and to determine the appropriateness of CRN. Experiments on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with different N applications were conducted during 2013 to 2015 in Shaanxi Province, China. The N applications consisted of urea at 80 (U80), 160 (U160), and 240 kg N ha−1 (U240), with 40% applied as a basal fertilizer and 60% topdressed at the jointing stage, and CRN at 60 (C60), 120 (C120), 180 (C180), and 240 kg N ha−1 (C240), all applied as a basal fertilizer. A treatment with no N application served as a control (CK). The critical N concentration and shoot dry matter of winter wheat fitted a power function for both CRN and urea. The curves were validated with data from another season, and their performances were proved to be stable. The estimated N nutrition index and accumulated N deficit under each N application enabled crop N condition to be well differentiated and suggested that a suitable N application rate for winter wheat was 120 to 180 kg CRN ha−1 and 160 to 240 kg urea ha−1. Moreover, the C180 treatment produced a similar yield as the U240 treatment, but its N physiological efficiency, N agronomic efficiency, partial N productivity, and apparent N recovery were on average 5.87, 35.93, 34.12, and 28.39% higher than the U240 treatment, respectively, in the two seasons. These results are useful for N application management and can offer a theoretical reference for CRN application.

Background:

Rupture of the distal biceps and triceps tendons are relatively uncommon injuries typically occurring in middle-aged males as a result of eccentric loading of the tendon.

Methods:

A literature search was performed and the authors’ personal experiences reported.

Results:

This review discusses the diagnosis, indications and guidelines for management of these injuries and provides a description of the authors’ preferred operative techniques.

Conclusion:

Whilst non-operative treatment may be appropriate for patients with low functional demands, surgical management is the preferred option for the majority of patients. We have described a cortical button technique and osseous tunnel technique utilised at our institution for distal biceps and triceps tendon fixation respectively. For biceps or triceps tendon injuries, those receiving an early diagnosis and undergoing surgical intervention, an excellent functional outcome can be expected.

Published: November 2017

‘Arsha’ (haemorrhoids) is an ailment that affects all economical groups of population. Though the disease is within the limits of management, it has its own complications like severe haemorrhage, inflammation and thrombosis, by which a patient gets severe pain and is unable to continue his routine work. Haemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen veins around the anus and lower part of rectum. They usually occur as a result of altered dietary pattern, altered life style, genetics, and pregnancy. One of the most common ailments of the rectum, affecting as much as half the population by the age group of 50. Suffering from haemorrhoids is not only painful but embarrassing as well. They may be classified as either internal or external. Many not only want to know how to heal haemorrhoids but how to heal them fast and naturally. The authors review the role of Ayurveda in the management of haemorrhoids (Arshas). It has been proved by scientific studies that botanicals improve microcirculation, capillary flow and to strength of the surrounding connective tissues of anus and lower rectum. Purpose of this article is to create the awareness regarding modification of life style for the prevention of Arshas / piles by regular practise of Yogic Asanas, following strict Pathya Ahara and Viharas according to Ayurveda.

Published: November 2017

The aims of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of an interprofessional education and collaborative practice model (IECPM) developed by the School of Dentistry (SOD) and College of Pharmacy (COP) for the University of Minnesota dental clinics and to report results of the needs assessment using specific primary care metrics and medication histories gathered through use of the model in 2015–16. Planning focused on establishing a workflow to implement the IECPM by the SOD and COP. The interprofessional team that provided patient care for the study consisted of 50 dental students, ten dental therapy students, one pharmacy student, one pharmacy resident, one faculty pharmacist, one dental assistant, one faculty dental hygienist, and two dentists. The team selected 190 patients in the SOD clinic for the study based on the inclusion criteria: patients with two or more chronic medical conditions who were taking medications. The 190 patients received a comprehensive dental exam, review of social and medical history, and medication therapy management assessment by the interprofessional team. Specific core primary care metrics (blood pressure, pulse, tobacco use, and diabetes status) and identification of drug therapy problems (DTPs) were monitored and/or screened for during the dental visit. The results showed that the IECPM helped identify that this cohort of patients presented with chronic conditions: 64% had hypertension, 34% had diabetes, and 10.5% reported smoking cigarettes. Several DTPs were identified, of which “needs additional drug therapy” was the most common. This cohort was taking multiple medications (2–34 per patient) to address a variety of medical conditions. The study concluded that the IECPM with the SOD and COP helped address a primary care need that often goes unmet in dental clinics.
An Instrument to Assess Dental Students’ Competence in Shared Decision Making: A Pilot Study
Authors: Lucander Henriette
Published: November 2017

Evidence suggests that involving patients in health care decisions has a positive impact on health care outcomes and patients’ perception of quality. However, the extent to which dental students are trained in communication and shared decision making (SDM) differs, and studies have identified a need for intensified learning and assessment of this competence. A need to more clearly define and operationalize what it means to be proficient in this area has been identified. The aim of this study was to operationalize communicative and relational skills in a comprehensive assessment instrument for SDM. Relevant skills in information exchange, negotiation, communication, and relationship‐building were identified through an extensive review of previous research and instruments for assessing communication competence. Indicators for assessing these skills were formulated. The instrument was submitted to a pilot test in 2016 and evaluated on test content, internal structure, and response processes. The Assessment of Shared Decision Making (ASDM) instrument consists of 18 items addressing various aspects of the construct and three types of skills. Findings suggest that the ASDM represents a valid measure of SDM with three major components. The importance of developing the ASDM lies both in the summative assessment of students’ communication with patients and for formative assessment purposes. Once identified, the components essential for SDM can be woven into the curriculum and shared with students. Thus, the ASDM provides a structure that can meet the need for intensified learning and assessment of dental students’ competence in communication and SDM.

Published: November 2017

The tailing dumps of the mining district of Tlalpujahua and El Oro (DIMITO) were stacked on the active drainage system and covering a basement consisting of carbonaceous limestones and shales ± andesites, which constitute the host rock of the epithermal Au vein-type deposit. This geomorphological setting shows deep channels and gullies of erosion and it has been estimated a loss of material > 27–34% of its original volume. We present mapping of five tailing dumps that were placed ~68 year ago as well as the mineralogical and geochemical characterization of 12 profiles and 48 samples. Tailings are essentially siliceous-calcareous slime with clasts. Their pH is slightly alkaline from 7.5 to 8.5 and they show low conductivity <80 µS/cm. They are constituted by abundant quartz (≥ 53–68 %), lithics (7-20 %), calcite (≥12 %), silicates (9–11 %), Fe-Ti oxides (≥2–3 %) and sulphides and sulphosalts (≤2 %). Bulk composi- tions are characterized by SiO2 (56–92 %), Al2O3 (>15–13 %), CaO+MgO (≥5–11 %), Fetot (≤3–5 %), S (0.3–0.91 %), and C (3.4 –6.1 %). DIMITO tailings show values of Au (1.2–1.61 g/ton), Ag (28.1–46.8 g/ton), Pb (53.3–145.2 g/ton) and Zn (155.9–354.5 g/ton), suggesting that they could still have some economic recovering. In relation to the concentrations of the potentially toxic elements, the values of Sb (27.3–72.2 g/ton) signifi- cantly exceed high risk of the LMP (WHO, 2015), and a dozen samples of Pb and Zn and As (25.2–40.5 g/ton) show higher values than low-risk of the LMP. However, these values are scattered and random in each profile, so its toxic potential is discussed based on its mineralogical-geochemical correlation and its potential mobility. In order to estimate the acid-base accounting (ABA) of the DIMITO, we carried out a mathematical model based from the Gauss-reduction normalization of the geochemical data and their relationships with normative mineralogy. We found that the mineralogy represents a powerful proxy for the diagnostic of the toxic potential of the waste mines and that in general the tailings show not risk of acide mine drainage generation. However, we discuss the environment impact of the tailing dumps and the relationships with the actual land use of the DIMITO.

The Volgograd Region is a promising region for the development of many types and forms of active tourism. The combination of unique natural conditions creates all the necessary prerequisites for the recreational development of the region, especially in the field of active tourism. The large size of the territory (112.9 thousand sq. km.) determines the development of the existing recreational zones and the creation of new ones, promising for the organization of tourism. In this article, one of the most promising areas for the development of active tourism in the Volgograd region is the Bolshaya Golubaya river basin, which is used as a model site for applied research work of the Department of Geography and Cartography of the Volgograd State University. When studying the recreational potential of the researched site, the method of expert assessments was used. The experts were tour operators for domestic tourism. According to the analysis of expert assessments, it is revealed that the development of recreational tourism in the study area is a promising area. Based on the analysis of natural conditions, recreational potential and expert evaluation data, the team of authors outlines the types of sports tourism and their features for development on the territory of the Bolshaya Golubaya river basin. Within the framework of the research, a model of sports and health tourism is created in the area under study, which includes weekend tours of various types of sports tourism. With the help of the ArcGIS10.0 software, this model of development of active tourism in the Bolshaya Golubaya river basin is presented in the form of a cartographic scheme that clearly demonstrates the location of routes of promising types of active tourism.

Através da seleção e da observação de alguns termos, objetiva-se compor um mosaico de uma variedade de temas, o qual permite refletir sobre a maneira pela qual um órgão de imprensa utilizava-se de recursos retóricos extremamente criativos, e possivelmente de razoável apelo popular, para estabelecer sua crítica da sociedade e da política do período.
Are the unemployed and inactive financially trapped? Evidence from Serbia
Authors: Anic Aleksandra , Krstic Gorana
Published: November 2017

The aim of this paper is to explore if the unemployed and inactive but able
to work individuals in Serbia are incentivized to work or to live dependent
on the safety net. Following OECD methodology, we calculate the net
replacement rate, defined as the ratio of net income out of work to net
income in work. We use 2014 Survey of Income and Living Conditions microdata
to calculate and analyse the net replacement rate. Since wages for the
unemployed and inactive are not observed, we estimate them, taking into
account selection effects (Bourguignon, Fournier, & Gurgand, 2007). Our
results suggest a number of interesting findings. First, neither unemployed
nor inactive are financially trapped, since the net replacement rate is 55.5%
for the unemployed and 59.1% for the inactive, on average. Second, those
receiving monetary social assistance and/or child allowance (the two main
cash benefit programmes to help poor families) do have incentives to work.
Finally, our analysis of the net replacement rate by different individual and
household characteristics indicates that the benefit system in Serbia does
not provide a disincentive to work.

Published: November 2017

This study investigates the ultraslow diffusion by a spatial structural
derivative, in which the exponential function ex is selected as the
structural function to construct the local structural derivative diffusion
equation model. The analytical solution of the diffusion equation is a form
of Biexponential distribution. Its corresponding mean squared displacement
is numerically calculated, and increases more slowly than the logarithmic
function of time. The local structural derivative diffusion equation with
the structural function ex in space is an alternative physical and
mathematical modeling model to characterize a kind of ultraslow diffusion.

Published: November 2017

Introduction. Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) can be followed by cardiac abnormalities. We describe a patient with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) after aneurysmal SAH. Case report. A previously healthy, postmenopausal woman, suffered from aneurysmal SAH with consequent hydrocephalus. After external ventricular drainage, craniotomy and clipping of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm, the patient developed acute heart failure and NPE. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed the left ventricular apical ballooning and hypercontractile basal segments. On chest radiography, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates were seen. Seventeen days after the SAH attack, the patient was discharged from hospital. Postponed coronary angiography revealed no signs of coronary artery disease. Conclusion. This case and review of the relevant literature suggest that Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and neurogenic pulmonary edema are not uncommon after aneurysmal SAH.

Casos: Reportamos dos casos de parálisis del VI par craneal durante una epidemia de Chikungunya en Ecuador rural en 2017.  Los dos pacientes acudieron varios meses después de la infección aguda debido a su lejanía con el centro hospitalario.

Conclusión: Pacientes con oftalmolplejia, que habitan  en zonas de transmisión del virus Chikungunya, se debe sospechar Chikungunya como causa, especialmente en la ausencia de otros factores de riesgo.
Pergeseran Pemikiran Kalam Tradisional ke Kontemporer (Kajian Metodologi Kalam Klasik ke Kalam Sosial)
Authors: Muhtarom Ahmad
Published: November 2017

Bangunan epistemologi dan metodologi dalam kalam klasik cenderung bersifat skriptualis dan anatomistik, yang tidak mengindahkan kehidupan nyata. Hal ini menjadi tantangan tersendiri dalam menjawab berbagai tantangan keilmuan yang kian modern. Sedangkan pembahasan kalam kontemporer tidak selalu sama dengan wacana yang ditelurkan kalam klasik namun harus ada penambahan, perluasan objek kajian, progresifitas berpikir, inovasi, rekonstruksi, dialogisasi, integrasi yang semuanya menunjukkan akan pentingnya pergeseran paradigma yang lebih membumi dan dapat menyesuaikan dengan disiplin keilmuan profan lainnya tanpa ada sikap tabu, alergi dan antipati terhadap disiplin keilmuan di luar diri (eksternal) kajian kalam klasik.

Interferensi dapat terjadi ketika seseorang menggunakan dua bahasa atau lebih, dan terjadi kontak bahasa. Lazimnya terjadi di bahasa lisan dan tulisan. Salah satu penggunaan bahasa tulis adalah puisi Rubā‘i karya Hamzah Fansuri. Ia dapat dikatakan seorang individu yang dapat memakai dua bahasa atau lebih di tengah masyarakat dan terjadi kontak bahasa sehingga terjadi interferensi bahasa.

Objek penelitian ini adalah kata-kata yang mengalami interferensi secara morfologis, tipe penelitian ini, kajian pustaka dan deskriptif-kualitatif. Teknik padan translasional digunakan untuk menganalisis data. Permasalahan yang ingin dijawab (1) bentuk-bentuk interferensi morfologis, dan (2) sebab-sebab terjadinya interferensi bahasa. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini. Pertama, terdapat 241 kata yang mengalami interferensi secara morfologis. Bentuk-bentuk interferensi berupa afiksasi dan bentuk kata gandaan (majemuk). Afiksasi yang terjadi berupa imbuhan prefik (awalan), sufik (akhiran), dan konfik (awalan dan akhiran). Kedua, terdapat dua sebab utama terjadinya interferensi, yaitu faktor linguistik (kebahasaan) dan faktor non linguistik (non kebahasaan). Faktor linguistik, diantaranya: tidak ada padanan kata dalam bahasa Melayu, terbawanya bahasa ibu, kosakata Arab ringkas kata luas makna. Faktor nonlinguistik, diantaranya: Hamzah Fansuri seorang multilingual, Hamzah Fansuri seorang sufi, pengaruh Islamisasi di Nusantara, puisi sebagai budaya kesusastraan awal Islam di Nusantara, berkembangnya tulisan Jawi (Melayu-Arab).Interference is used to two languages or more by person and happened language contact, usually in speaking and writing.

El testamento y el rito de la muerte: señales burlescas y paródicas de contenido ideológico en el desenlace del "Quijote"
Authors: O´Kuinghttons Rodríguez John
Published: November 2017

Recepción: 16 de febrero de 2016; Aceptación: 10 de enero de 2017.En este artículo pretendo mostrar que en el episodio de la muerte de don Quijote hay acentos ideológicos de relativización de los poderes seglares y religiosos que se manifiestan mediante la redacción de un testamento de tenor burlesco y el guiño paródico dirigido a los ars moriendi. Asimismo, discuto la trascendencia que reviste la determinación de la muerte bajo el signo de la cordura o la locura para la validación de determinadas posturas ideológicas subyacentes en la novela.

Kerajaan Loloda: Melacak Jejak Arkeologi dan Sejarah
Authors: Handoko Wuri
Published: November 2017

A few historical source mention the Kingdom of Loloda as one of the great kingdoms of North Maluku, contemporaneous with the four Islamic kingdoms that developed into sultanates, namely Ternate, Tidore, Bacan and Jailolo. However, compared to these powers, the development of Islamic rule in Loloda is not well known through historical sources, and the kingdom is even said to have collapsed in the early 20th century. In this article I discuss the results of research to trace archaeological evidence about the history of the Kingdom of Loloda. Starting with literary sources, I then describe the results of archaeological surveys in the area mentioned in historical text and public information. Archaeological surveys indicate that the center of the Loloda kingdom was located in the Loloda watershed in Loloda Sub-district, Halmahera Barat District. Archaeological research results suggest the Kingdom of Loloda grew from the 15th century and experienced collapse at the time of European colonialism.Kerajaan Loloda dalam teks sumber sejarah yang terbatas, disebut-sebut sebagai salah satu kerajaan besar di Maluku Utara, sezaman dengan empat aliansi kerajaan Islam yang berkembang menjadi kesultanan yakni, Ternate, Tidore, Bacan, dan Jailolo. Namun dibanding keempat kekuasaan Islam itu, Loloda tidak diketahui perkembangannya, bahkan disebut runtuh pada awal abad 20 dan hilang dalam catatan sejarah perkembangan kekuasaan Islam. Penulisan ini berdasar pada hasil penelitian untuk melacak bukti-bukti arkeologi tentang sejarah Kerajaan Loloda. Dimulai dari pengumpulan sumber literatur, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan survei arkeologi di wilayah yang disebut dalam teks sejarah dan informasi masyarakat. Berdasarkan hasil survei arkeologi, diketahui adanya lokasi yang menjadi indikasi pusat kerajaan Loloda di DAS (daerah aliran sungai) Loloda di Kecamatan Loloda Kabupaten Halmahera Barat. Hasil penelitian arkeologi menggambarkan bahwa Kerajaan Loloda  berkembang pada abad 16 dan mengalami keruntuhan sesudahnya ketika kolonialisme bangsa Eropa berkembang di wilayah itu.
Análise de confiabilidade das estacas do cais do porto novo de Rio Grande (Brasil) empregando metodologia bayesiana
Authors: Viegas Beloni Aline , Lima Alves Antonio , Vasconcellos Real Mauro
Published: November 2017

O objetivo deste trabalho é a avaliação da confiabilidade geotécnica do estaqueamento de um cais portuário no Porto Novo de Rio Grande, Brasil. A análise de confiabilidade foi realizada confrontando-se as distribuições probabilísticas da capacidade de carga geotécnica e da solicitação das estacas. A distribuição probabilística da capacidade de carga foi avaliada empregando-se conceitos de análise bayesiana, onde a previsão de capacidade de carga (distribuição “a priori”) foi atualizada com base nos registros documentados durante a execução dos trabalhos, gerando uma distribuição de capacidade de carga “a posteriori”. A estimativa “a priori” foi obtida a partir de métodos semi-empíricos de previsão da capacidade de carga das estacas, baseados em resultados de ensaios SPT (Standard Penetration Test). A distribuição probabilística da solicitação sobre as estacas foi estimada adotando-se diversos coeficientes de variação para a carga de serviço. Assim, foi determinado o índice de confiabilidade do estaqueamento.

O presente trabalho visa analisar a evolução da mortalidade por câncer de fígado e colorretal de acordo com o sexo e as regiões do Brasil, durante o período de 1990 a 2014. Realizou-se uma análise de séries temporais dos óbitos por câncer de fígado e vias biliares e colorretal, ocorridos no Brasil de 1990 a 2014. Os dados foram obtidos no Atlas On-line sobre Mortalidade do Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA). As taxas de mortalidade padronizadas (TMP) para a população brasileira e ajustadas por idade foram obtidas em cinco quadriênios: 1990-1994, 1995-1999, 2000-2004, 2005-2009, 2010-2014. Para verificar a tendência da mortalidade, empregou-se regressão linear simples. A magnitude de crescimento das TMP foram calculadas dividindo-se a taxa no último quinquênio pela taxa no primeiro. Observou-se tendência de aumento da TMP para os dois tipos de câncer analisados em ambos os sexos, com um crescimento mais expressivo no último quinquênio. Ao longo de toda a série histórica, a TMP por câncer de fígado e colorretal foi maior entre homens. A região Sul obteve maiores TMP para os dois tipos de câncer. Entretanto, a magnitude de crescimento da TMP por câncer de fígado foi maior na região Norte e por câncer colorretal na região Nordeste. As TMP por todos os tipos de câncer analisados apresentaram tendência de aumento no Brasil, com maior magnitude no último quinquênio. Destaca-se que, embora as TMP tenham sido maiores na região Sul, o crescimento ao longo do tempo foi maior em regiões menos desenvolvidas como o Norte e Nordeste, evidenciando a ocorrência de padrões regionais na distribuição e magnitude de crescimento das taxas.      PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Câncer de fígado. Câncer colorretal. Mortalidade.
