Authors: Munera Eduardo , Poza-Lujan Jose-Luis , Posadas-Yagüe Juan-Luis , Simó-Ten Jose-Enrique , Blanes Francisco
Published: March 2017

Mobile robots need to manage a lot of sensors and actuators using micro-controllers.To do complexes tasks, a highly computation central unit is also needed. In many cases, a robot is a intelligent distributed system formed with a central unit, which manages and distributes several specific tasks to some micro-controller embedded systems onboard.Now these embedded systems are also evolving to more complex systems that are developed not only for executing simple tasks but offering some advanced algorithmsjust as complex data processing, adaptive execution, or fault-tolerance and alarm rising mechanisms. To manage these types of embedded systems a paradigm, calledSmart Resource has been developed. Smart Resources topology has been raised to manage resources which execution relies on a physical embedded hardware. TheseSmart Resources are defined as a list of distributed services that can configure its execution in order to accomplish a context and quality requirements. In order to provide a more general implementation Smart Resources are integrated into the RobotOperating System (ROS). Paper presents a solution based on the Turtlebot platformrunning ROS. The solution shows how robots can make use of all the functions andmechanisms provided by the ROS and the distribution, reliability and adaptability ofthe Smart Resources. In addition it is also addressed the flexibility and scalability ofimplementation by combining real and simulated devices into the same platform

Published: March 2017

Transfusi darah adalah rangkaian proses memindahkan darah atau komponen darah dari donor kepada resipien. Pada kasus-kasus tertentu, transfusi darah dapat sangat bermanfaat atau bahkan menyelamatkan nyawa pasien. Transfusi darah pada praktik klinik dapat menggunakan berbagai jenis komponen, baik darah lengkap (whole blood), sel darah merah pekat (packed red cells/PRC), sel darah merah yang dicuci (washed erythrocytes/WE), trombosit, plasma segar beku (fresh frozen plasma/FFP), kriopresipitat, dan sebagainya sesuai indikasi. Untuk memastikan bahwa transfusi darah dapat memberikan manfaat yang optimal bagi resipien, penyimpanan, penanganan, dan uji kompatibilitas untuk produk darah harus dilaksanakan dengan baik sesuai pedoman. Tujuan transfusi darah secara umum untuk mengembalikan serta mempertahankan volume normal peredaran darah, mengganti kekurangan komponen selular darah, meningkatkan oksigenasi jaringan, serta memperbaiki fungsi homeostasis pada tubuh.
Pemberian Lipid Parenteral secara Dini dan Agresif pada Bayi Prematur: Hubungannya dengan Kejadian Sepsis
Authors: Arifin Angelina , Rohsiswatmo Rinawati
Published: March 2017

Latar belakang. Pemberian lipid parenteral secara dini dan agresif sering tidak optimal karena dikhawatirkan terjadinya sepsis. Hubungan antara pemberian lipid parenteral dengan kejadian sepsis masih kontroversial.Tujuan. Menilai keamanan dan efikasi pemberian lipid parenteral secara dini dan agresif dalam hal hubungannya dengan kejadian sepsis pada bayi prematur melalui telaah sajian kasus berbasis bukti.Metode. Menelusuri pustaka secara online dengan menggunakan instrumen pencari Pubmed, Cochrane, dan Highwire. Kata kunci yang digunakan adalah “lipid”, “fat”, “parenteral”, preterm”, “premature”, “low birth weight”. Batasan yang digunakan adalah studi berupa uji klinis, telaah sistematik, atau meta analisis, berbahasa Inggris, dilakukan pada manusia, publikasi dalam 10 tahun terakhir.Hasil. Meta-analisis oleh Vlaardingerbroek dkk menunjukkan pemberian lipid parenteral secara dini pada bayi prematur dengan BBLSR tidak meningkatkan insidens sepsis (risk ratio 0,88; IK95% 0,72-1,08; p=0,22). Meta-analisis oleh Simmer dan Rao tidak dapat dilakukan karena definisi sepsis yang tidak seragam, walaupun masing-masing penelitian tidak menunjukkan peningkatan kejadian sepsis pada kelompok yang mendapat lipid parenteral kurang dan sama dengan lima hari setelah lahir. Uji acak terkontrol oleh Ibrahim dkk dan Vlaardingerbroek dkk menunjukkan pemberian lipid parenteral 2-3 gram/kgBB/hari segera setelah lahir tidak meningkatkan kejadian sepsis yang bermakna secara statistik.Kesimpulan. Pemberian lipid parenteral secara dini dan agresif pada bayi prematur tidak terbukti berhubungan dengan kejadian sepsis neonatorum.

Authors: Öztekin Pelin Seher Ö , Ergun Elif , Cıvgın Esra , Yigit Hasan , Kosar Pınar Nercis
Published: March 2017

Objective: To evaluate variants of the popliteal artery (PA) terminal branches with 64-multidetector computed tomographic angiography (64-MD CTA).

Materials and Methods: A total of 495 extremities (251 right, 244 left) of 253 patients undergoing a 64-MD CTA examination were included in the study. Of these, 242 extremities were evaluated bilaterally, whereas 11 were evaluated unilaterally. The terminal branching pattern of the PA was classified according to the classification scheme proposed by Kim; the distance between the medial tibial plateau and the origin of the anterior tibial artery (A) and the length of the tibioperoneal trunk (B) have been measured and recorded.

Results: In 459 cases (92.7%) branching of PA occurred distal to the knee joint (Type I); in 18 cases (2.8%) PA branching was superior to the knee joint (Type II); and hypoplasia of the PA branches was found in 27 cases (5.5%) (Type III). Among these types the most frequent branching patterns were Type IA (87.5%), Type IIIA (3.9%), and Type IB (3.8%). The ranges of A and B mean distances were 47.6 mm and 29.6 mm, respectively

Conclusion: Variations in popliteal artery terminal branching pattern occurred in 7.4% to 17.6% of patients. Pre-surgical detection of these variations with MD CTA may help to reduce the risk of iatrogenic arterial injury by enabling a better surgical treatment plan.
Trends in the treatment of risk factors for stroke in a Czech stroke unit
Authors: Simunek Libor , Krajickova Dagmar , Vysata Oldrich , Valis Martin
Published: March 2017

The goal of this study is to evaluate therapeutic
trends for several diseases that represent risk factors for
stroke. The relative frequency of therapy with compounds
that influence the risk factors for stroke was monitored
in a group of 3,290 patients who were hospitalised in the
Stroke Unit at the University Hospital in Hradec Kralove
between 2005 and 2012. For most drugs monitored, the
reasons for the significant decrease or increase in use were
causes other than the reduction of stroke risk. Despite this
finding, the majority of statistically significant changes
had, according to review of comparative studies, a posi-
tive effect on prevention of stroke. Motivation to change
treatment of stroke risk factors, such as hypertension,
diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia, was mainly
aimed at sufficient disease management with a minimum
of adverse effects. On the other hand, optimization of
stroke recurrence and economic factors were motivations
to treatment changes in prevention with antiplatelets.
Antidiabetics were associated with an increase in met-
formin use and reduction in insulin use. For antihyperten-
sives, the most significant reduction was associated with
the use of diuretics, although calcium channel blockers
and beta-blockers are also less used. Additionally, the use
of the ACE inhibitor ramipril increased

Published: March 2017

Vascular lesions of the maxillofacial area are even more challenging than in other different body district, because of the high aesthetic and functional relevance of this area for the sense organs presence like eye, brain, tongue, ear and nose. For these reasons, we propose an accurate classification based on hemodynamic and histologic aspects usefulthat is for diagnostic and therapeutic planning. A female, 60 years old patient came to our observation showing a vascular lesion of the lower left lip, and complaining for aesthetical and functional impairment. To confirm the diagnosis of vascular malformation and to detect lesion flow rate or other possible localization, a Tc red blood cell scintigraphy was carried out. Result was a venous low flow lesion; hence, sclerotherapy by a 3% Polidocanol solution (Atossisclerol) followed by surgery was planned. The aim of this work was to propose a diagnostic and therapeutic scheme with an integration of ISSVA and a flow rate classifications for a three-step planning based on 1) the biological findings in an early age at the lesion discover with a pharmacological treatment; 2) Hemodynamic study of the lesions at growing age followed by sclerotherapy or embolization; 3) Imaging study of these lesions for patients candidate to surgery when after step 1 and step 2 diagnostic and therapeutic planning results were incompletely successful.
Comparative study of the clinical effect and safety of anterior surgical approach and posterior surgical approach in the treatment of thoracolumbar spinal fracture
Authors: Dengfeng Zhang , Haojie Wu , Xiao Wang
Published: March 2017

The clinical effect and safety of the anterior surgical approach and posterior surgical approach in the treatment of thoracolumbar spinal fracture was compared. Retrospective analyses of clinical data for 91 patients observed from March 2010 to September 2014 were made. The pre-operation and post-operation comparisons between two sets of Cobb’s angle, affected vertebra height, Frankel’s classification of spinal nerves, motion functions, and tactile functions showed statistically significant differences (P<0.05). After having the operation, the Cobb’s angle and affected vertebra height of the patient in the anterior approach group were both significantly higher than that of patients in the posterior approach group (P<0.05). The bone graft fusion rate of the patients in the anterior approach group 3 months after operation was higher than that of patients in the control group while the status of complications was worse than that of patients in the posterior approach group, both with a remarkable difference (P<0.05). Both the anterior surgical approach and posterior surgical approach have good clinical outcome for spinal fractures but they all have their respective adaption diseases. The key in the treatment of thoracolumbar spinal fractures lies in choosing proper operative approach.

Published: March 2017

The association of an axillary artery aneurysm and an abdominal aortic aneurysm is extremely rare. In this study, we describe this association in a 69 year-old-man. We measured this patient’s metalloproteinases (MMPs) and Neutrophil Gelatinase - Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levels over a three years period before the abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. We speculate that high serium levels of MMPs and NGAL may have a prognostic role and may predict aneurysm rupture in patients with an uncommon association of arterial aneurysms.

Published: March 2017

Angiodysplasia, defined as a vascular ectasia or arteriovenous malformation, is the most frequent cause of occult bleeding in patients older than 60 years and a significant association with several cardiac condition is described. Patients with anemia and negative findings on upper endoscopy and colonoscopy should be referred for further investigation of the small bowel. The investigation of choice, when available, is wireless capsule endoscopy. Several therapeutic options are available in this cases, as we reviewed in this report. We report a case of 78-year old man admitted to our Intensive Coronary Unit for dyspnea and chest pain. A diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome was made and a concomintant, significant anemia was found (hemoglobin 8.2 g/dl). No cororary disease was found by an angiography though the past medical history revealed systemic hypertension, chronic kidney disease (KDOQY stage III), and diabetes mellitus type II on insuline therapy. A Wireless Video capsule examination was positive for jejunum angiodysplasia and an argon plasma coagulation was chosen as terapeutic option. No subsequent supportive therapy and interventions were required in subsequent one year of follow-up.

toxoplasmosis
Authors: Celebi Ali Riza Cenk , Kilavuzoglu Ayse Ebru , Altiparmak Ugur Emrah , Cosar Cemile Banu , Ozkiris Abdullah
Published: March 2017

Purpose: It is aimed to report on a 16-year-old
patient with acquired ocular toxoplasmosis complicated
by a retinal tear.
Methods: Retrospective medical chart review
Results: A 16-year-old Caucasian female presented with
vision loss in her right eye. In addition to a white active
lesion between the fovea and the optic nerve head,
marked vitreous opacification was noted. She was diagnosed
with ocular toxoplasmosis. The patient was treated
with oral azithromycin, clindamycin, and trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole.
One month later, retinochoroiditis
resolved and vitreous cleared. Three months after onset,
patient presented with floaters in the right eye and a
retinal tear was located at the temporal region of the
retina. Prophylactic argon laser treatment that encircled
the retinal tear was performed. No other abnormalities
were noted during 6 months of follow-up.
Conclusions: Retinal tear associated with ocular toxoplasmosis
is rare; however, a retinal tear can occur due to vitreoretinal
traction following post-inflammatory structural
alteration of the vitreous. Retinal tears may be seen during
the healing phase, when the inflammation turns into
tightening of vitreous substance. Careful retinal examination
in cases of ocular toxoplasmosis is warranted, especially
in patients with severe vitreous inflammation.
Violencias de xénero na novela "Y punto" de Mercedes Castro
Authors: Romero López Alicia
Published: March 2017

Centrarémonos na análise da novela Y punto, de Mercedes Castro, en particular no estudo da súa protagonista, a subinspectora Clara Deza: unha muller forte, deslinguada e inserida nun espazo de homes para homes no que ten que sobrevivir e facerse valer. Será neste mundo misóxino onde terá que enfrontarse á resolución do seu primeiro homicidio. O punto de vista feminino será unha das bases da nosa análise: estudarase a relación de Clara co mundo masculino opresor que a rodea. Os pensamentos de Clara transportan o lector ao seu mundo interior, mostrándonos unha muller que ten que compaxinar a súa vida cotiá co seu traballo, algo que parece diverxer bastante da percepción vital dos seus compañeiros homes. Mercedes Castro presenta unha muller sabedora de que o é, que loita no mundo patriarcal no que vive, mais tamén unha muller real, contradictoria, sobre a que os homes exercen diferentes tipos de violencia. Porén resulta importante a análise desta obra, xa que saca á luz determinados comportamentos patriarcais que ás veces pasan inadvertidos na sociedade actual.

Published: March 2017

Introduction: Self-transcendence helps patients undergoing haemodialysis to organize the variety of challenges caused by the disease in order to make them feel well. This study  was   conducted  to determine the effect of counterpart group on improving self-transcendence level in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was conducted with two groups of intervention and control, with 55 patients undergoing hemodialysis. The samples were divided in 2 groups of intervention and control through block randomization. Two-hour counterpart group sessions were held for eight weeks for intervention group. The session's topics were based on the patients’ needs and interests. Research tools were questionnaire, demographic information and "Reed’s Self-Transcendence Scale (STS)". The descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis using the SPSS v18. Results: There was a significant difference between self-transcendence scores in two groups of intervention and control (P<0.05). A significant increase in the level of self-transcendence in both groups was seen at the end of the study compared to basal status (P<0.05). Conclusions: According to the study results, attending the counterpart groups improved  self-transcendence in patients undergoing haemodialysis. The results can be used in nursing education and management. Training Self-transcendence evaluation is recommended for other chronic diseases with the emphasize on participating in counterpart groups for assessing its efficiency.

Children who have suffered early abuse or neglect may later present with significant health and behavior problems that may persist long after the abusive or neglectful environment has been remediated. Neurobiological research suggests that early maltreatment may result in an altered psychological and physiologic response to stressful stimuli, a response that deleteriously affects the child’s subsequent development. Pediatricians can assist caregivers by helping them recognize the abused or neglected child’s emotional and behavioral responses associated with child maltreatment and guide them in the use of positive parenting strategies, referring the children and families to evidence-based therapeutic treatment and mobilizing available community resources.
Relationship between family history of alcohol addiction, parents’ education level, and smartphone problem use scale scores
Authors: Beison Ashley , Rademacher David J.
Published: March 2017

Background and aims

Smartphones are ubiquitous. As smartphones increased in popularity, researchers realized that people were becoming dependent on their smartphones. The purpose here was to provide a better understanding of the factors related to problematic smartphone use (PSPU).

Methods

The participants were 100 undergraduates (25 males, 75 females) whose ages ranged from 18 to 23 (mean age = 20 years). The participants completed questionnaires to assess gender, ethnicity, year in college, father’s education level, mother’s education level, family income, age, family history of alcoholism, and PSPU. The Family Tree Questionnaire assessed family history of alcoholism. The Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS) and the Adapted Cell Phone Addiction Test (ACPAT) were used to determine the degree of PSPU. Whereas the MPPUS measures tolerance, escape from other problems, withdrawal, craving, and negative life consequences, the ACPAT measures preoccupation (salience), excessive use, neglecting work, anticipation, lack of control, and neglecting social life.

Results

Family history of alcoholism and father’s education level together explained 26% of the variance in the MPPUS scores and 25% of the variance in the ACPAT scores. The inclusion of mother’s education level, ethnicity, family income, age, year in college, and gender did not significantly increase the proportion of variance explained for either MPPUS or ACPAT scores.

Discussion and conclusions

Family history of alcoholism and father’s education level are good predictors of PSPU. As 74%–75% of the variance in PSPU scale scores was not explained, future studies should aim to explain this variance.

Fracture Strength of Standard and Small Diameter Prosthetic Abutments for Full-Arch Implant-Supported Restorations
Authors: de Sá Bruno Costa Martins , Andrighetto Augusto Ricardo , Bernardes Sergio Rocha , Tiossi Rodrigo
Published: March 2017

This study tested the fracture strength of prosthetic abutments with different sizes and combinations to support a 5-implant milled framework with distal extension. Prosthetic abutments with different dimensions (4.8-mm diameter mini conical abutment and 3.5-mm diameter microconical abutment) were screwed to 5 threaded implants. The following groups were divided (n = 3): G1 with 5 miniconical abutments (standard size), G2 with 5 microconical abutments (small sized), G3 with a combination of 3 small sized abutments and 2 standard sized abutments, and G4 with a combination of 2 small sized abutments and 3 standard sized abutments. Standardized titanium frameworks for full-arch fixed dental prosthesis were milled with equidistant holes for each of the 5 implants and abutments. A loading point was selected at 18 mm away from both distal implants. A universal testing system was used for the fracture strength tests and load was applied at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min on the previously described loading points until component fracture. Mean fracture strength for each group was statistically compared (α = 0.05). Prosthetic screws were the only fractured components for all tested groups. Mean fracture strength was: G1, 1130.22 N; G2, 1031.36 N; G3, 757.9 N; and G4 792.03 N (P < .05). All prosthetic abutments and combinations that were tested provide adequate fracture strength for clinical use. However, the combination of standard and small diameter abutments leads to lower fracture strength compared with when only standard sized prosthetic abutments were used, irrespective of the abutment diameter (4.8- or 3.5-mm).
5 Tips for Residents New to Teaching Medical Students
Authors: Eyadiel Cyril , Clinch Charles Randall
Published: March 2017

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Graduating from medical school is a time of transition that is filled with many responsibilities and opportunities. In a few short years, new physicians are expected to learn their trade and teach what they have learned to students along the way before being allowed to practice independently. As a medical student, trainees have the opportunity to learn from multiple providers from a range of specialties at all levels of training. Physicians in graduate medication education programs (i.e., residents) have a unique opportunity to provide training and teaching to medical students with a perspective that comes from being between the student and the expert attending physician. Whether students work with a resident during one day or over the course of several weeks, this time can be especially helpful in growing the student's knowledge base while honing the resident's teaching skills. The purpose of this article is to provide tips for resident physicians to use as they begin their role as teachers of medical students while balancing their responsibilities as trainees themselves. Many residency programs are developing formal resident as teacher programs to help facilitate their residents in becoming better teachers. These tips may be applied in such programs.
Working Together: Evaluating Interprofessional Experiences on a Pediatric Clerkship
Authors: McBurney Patricia G. , Friesinger Michelle K. , Jackson Sherron M.
Published: March 2017

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background:Medical schools offer interprofessional education (IPE) opportunities during preclinical years; however, the literature holds fewer descriptions of projects designed to promote IPE for medical students in clinical settings. Our project seeks to evaluate if students on a 6-week pediatric clerkship can establish working relationships with other health care providers (HCP). Methods: We instructed 167 pediatric clerkship students to interact with two different non-physician HCPs and then to ask the providers to complete comments-only evaluations of the student's professionalism. Encounters were to occur as part of normal patient care interactions. A dataset was created to record time-of-year, setting (wards, nursery, emergency department, clinic/offices), evaluator's profession and status (trainee or staff/faculty), and student's career interests. Descriptive statistics were generated for this cross-sectional study. Results: 304 evaluations were submitted, demonstrating a 91% completion rate at an average of 1.8 evaluations per student (range 1-2). Pharmacists completed the most evaluations (46%, n= 140), which were all completed on general wards where pharmacists are well-integrated into clinical teams on which students rotate. Nurses completed the next highest amount (29%, n=87). Conclusion: Clerkship students are able to establish working relationships with other HCPs in clinical settings. However, clerkship directors may have to guide students to reach out more broadly to providers outside structured teams.
Para uma “ecologia de saberes” em saúde: um convite dos terreiros ao diálogo

Published: March 2017

A partir da análise de um conjunto de entrevistas com lideranças de comunidades de terreiro, este artigo discute as possibilidades de uma “ecologia de saberes” em saúde e, mais concretamente, as possibilidades de interação entre os saberes de matriz africana e os saberes da medicina científica ocidental. Nesse percurso, estabelecendo um diálogo entre a “imaginação conceitual” dos autores e aquela de seus interlocutores de matriz africana, explora os possíveis desfechos de um processo “ecologizador” entre aqueles dois tipos de saber, seus pressupostos e as barreiras para sua efetivação. Nesse sentido, no lugar de uma aproximação teórica unilateral ao tema, o artigo busca visibilizar e valorizar a elaboração conceitual das mães e dos pais de santo entrevistados, construindo seu argumento a partir de um esforço imaginativo transcultural.

Resumo As bexigas natatorias do Hoplerythrinus unitaenitus (jeju), eritrinídeo de respiração aérea facultativa e do Osteoglossum bicirrhosum (aruanã), osteoglossídeo de respiração aquática, foram comparadas morfológica e histoquimicamente. No jeju, a bexiga tem função respiratória, enquanto no aruanã é um órgão hidrostático. Ambos são fisóstomos e a bexiga natatória é dividida em duas câmaras, cujas paredes são constituídas por três túnicas. Existem características morfológicas próprias de cada espécie, particularmente em relação à túnica interna: no jeju forma pregas aumentando assim a sua superfície; apresenta rico plexo capilar sub-epitelial e coxins musculares laterais. Os testes histoquímicos mostram que a bexiga natatória do jeju, contém mucopolissacárides, substâncias redutoras, lípides, colesterol e compostos afins: calciferol, íons férricos e proteínas. Há também fibras elásticas as quais estão em maior quantidade na porção anterior da câmara posterior. Com exceção das fibras elásticas, esses componentes localizam-se preferencialmente, no epitélio, lâmina própria e junto aos vasos sangüíneos, principalmente próximo aos coxins musculares. No aruanã, os testes para estas substâncias foram negativos, exceto alguns que se mostraram discretamente positivos no epitélio e a presença de fibras elásticas. Supõe-se que estes compostos químicos presentes no jeju tenham importância funcional na respiração desempenhada pela bexiga natatória.

Resumo Como parte de um projeto para planejar uma pequena usina hidrelétrica para uso de moradores ribeirinhos isolados, três rotores de baixo custo foram construídos: 1. Uma turbina de fluxo axial construída de madeira do local; 2. Um rotor Savonius feito de um tambor de óleo modificado; 3. Uma roda d'água sub-axial flutuante. Cada rotor foi testado em uma armação ligada ao lado de um barco. A potência, torque e velocidade de rotação foram medidos em várias velocidades d'água. Os rotores foram comparados em sua potência por unidade de área de perfil submerso, peso, facilidade de construção, potencial em escala ampliada, manutenção, resistência contra detritos de madeira flutuante e custo. A turbina de fluxo axial deu a mais alta potência medida, 40 watts por m2 em uma velocidade de água de 0,84 m.s-1, que é a velocidade do rio Solimões perto de Manaus. Aspectos do uso de tais rotores são discutidos.

Resumo A presente nota registra a presença do morcego de cauda livre, Molossops brachymeles mastivus no norte do Brasil. O morcego, um macho adulto, foi capturado numa palmeira de "buriti" (Mauritia sp.) em Manaus, Amazonas. As medições são dadas e comparadas com as de machos adultos de Molossops brachymeles cerastes do sudeste brasileiro. Este trabalho é aparentemente o primeiro registro de M. brachymeles mastivus após a descrição original.

Published: March 2017

Resumo No cenário atual de intensa competitividade entre as empresas, cada vez mais o uso do tempo se torna algo a ser maximizado, visando maior produtividade. Assim, para as organizações se manterem em plena operação, problemas devem ser solucionados o mais breve possível. A informática pode ajudar nesse processo, oferecendo sistemas computacionais que auxiliem na resolução de tais problemas. Com o advento da Web Semântica, surge a possibilidade de representar as informações de tal forma que o computador consiga compreendê-las, possibilitando a criação de sistemas inteligentes com o uso de ontologias. A principal contribuição deste trabalho é uma ontologia extensível (core ontology) para o domínio de sintomas, problemas e soluções, denominada Issue Procedure Ontology (IPO). Esta ontologia pretende prover às máquinas a semântica necessária para que estas forneçam não apenas informações, mas, sobretudo, identifiquem problemas a partir de um conjunto de sintomas e, em seguida, sugiram possíveis soluções, de forma autônoma, para os problemas em questão. Ao final, é realizada uma avaliação da ontologia a fim de corroborar seu poder de expressividade.

Abstract In this paper, we analyzed the co-authorship network between all CNPq’s productivity research fellows in the Probability and Statistics area in Brazil. Our aim was to describe and to understand how network measures influence researchers’ productivity. The data was gathered from the CNPq’s Lattes Platform using the software scriptLattes, and a link between two fellows represents the fact that they wrote an article together from 2009 to 2013. The network is disconnected and has only 4.7% of its possible connections. Through a regression analysis, we were able to infer that the centrality positions of an author matters to his/her productivity. As expected, closeness centrality had a negative effect on fellows’ productivity, while the degree centrality had a positive effect.

Published: March 2017

Resumo Os estudos sobre as relações empregado-organização são favorecidos pela compreensão de que recursos humanos são parte fundamental do processo organizacional. A confiança é um aspecto importante nesse processo, podendo influenciar a eficácia e o desempenho organizacionais. Assim, este estudo teve por objetivo verificar o poder de predição da percepção de valores organizacionais e da qualidade de vida no trabalho (QVT) sobre a confiança do empregado na organização. A amostra foi composta por 188 indivíduos formalmente empregados que responderam instrumentos fidedignos e válidos relativos aos construtos investigados. Os dados foram analisados mediante estatística descritiva e análises de regressão múltipla padrão. Os resultados mostraram que as escalas apresentaram índices de confiabilidade adequados para a amostra do estudo. As análises de regressão indicaram que os valores organizacionais e fatores de QVT foram preditores significativos de componentes éticos e competência organizacional. Oportunismo foi explicado somente pelos valores domínio, prestígio e coletividade. Nota-se que os valores, assim como os fatores de QVT, contribuíram de forma diferenciada na explicação das variáveis critério. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de ampliar o modelo de investigação dos antecedentes da confiança do empregado na organização visando a melhor compreender a formação deste vínculo.

Resumo O Teste das Matrizes Progressivas de Raven é um instrumento não verbal para avaliação da inteligência. As pesquisas sobre ele, no Brasil, iniciaram-se na década de 1950 e continuaram a desenvolver-se com o passar dos anos, em maior ou menor escala de acordo com o período. O presente estudo objetivou quantificar e analisar a produção científica brasileira de artigos a respeito do Teste das Matrizes Progressivas de Raven, disponíveis nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Periódicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia (PePSIC). Foram selecionados e analisados 71 artigos obtidos a partir das palavras-chaves “teste de Raven” e “Raven”. As produções científicas analisadas foram publicadas no período entre 1995 e 2014 e, em sua maioria, eram provenientes da região Sudeste brasileira. Notou-se que a maioria dos artigos referiu o uso do teste de Raven em contextos específicos, e poucos buscaram analisar as qualidades psicométricas do instrumento, evidenciando a demanda de mais estudos sobre as qualidades psicométricas do teste de Raven.
“Salva o Velho!”: Relato de Atendimento em Psicologia Hospitalar e Cuidados Paliativos
Authors: Langaro Fabíola
Published: March 2017

Resumo Este trabalho apresenta o relato de atendimento de um paciente encaminhado ao serviço de atenção domiciliar de um hospital geral com diagnósticos de doenças crônicas e com indicação para tratamento em cuidados paliativos. Ao longo de um ano, a psicóloga do hospital realizou o acompanhamento do paciente junto às equipes de saúde, tanto no domicílio quanto nas hospitalizações. Foraam atendidos paciente, filhos, esposa e cuidadoras, visando auxiliar na elaboração das vivências relacionadas ao adoecimento e tratamento, bem como à busca de qualidade de vida e enfrentamento da finitude. Neste período, o paciente foi inserido, retirado e reinserido em protocolo de cuidados paliativos, devido às instabilidades no quadro clínico e aos conflitos e dificuldades de comunicação entre paciente e familiares. Neste sentido, o foco do atendimento psicológico esteve na mediação dos conflitos familiares e na comunicação paciente-família-equipes, no estímulo à autonomia do paciente, na garantia do respeito e consideração aos seus desejos e decisões, bem como ao apoio emocional para enfrentamento do luto antecipatório. As reflexões e intervenções possibilitadas pelos cuidados paliativos e pela Psicologia permitiram ao paciente não desistir da sua vida e, aos familiares, a segurança e o apoio para o enfrentamento da perda e vivência do luto.
