Эффект «проигрыша» при выполнении простой сенсомоторной задачи в ситуации соревнования (на английском языке)
Authors: Урих Дина Константиновна , Гершкович Валерия Александровна
Published: November 2018

В статье рассматриваются особенности выполнения сенсомоторного навыка в ситуации соревновательного давления.  Выдвигается предположение, что разрушение навыка не является отдельным феноменом – эффект лучше объясняется специфической реакцией на уже совершенное ошибочное действие, которое, в свою очередь, приводит к последующей деавтоматизации навыка и дальнейшим ошибкам. Испытуемые тренировались выполнять задачу попадания мячом в лунку (виртуальный гольф), дальность полета регулировалась через время удержания клавиши на клавиатуре компьютера.  Затем испытуемые принимали участие в онлайн-соревновании внутри пары, где результаты соперника демонстрировались испытуемому. Фиксировался уровень притязаний (УП). На этапе тренировки не было обнаружено значимых различий между группами с низким и высоким УП, однако на этапе соревнования группа с высоким УП оказалась значимо хуже, чем группа с низким УП. Был обнаружен общий фреймовый эффект, обозначенный как “проигрывание”: при наблюдении негативного счета на табло испытуемые с более высоким уровнем притязаний совершали больше ошибок. Улучшения результативности после попаданий в цель не наблюдалось. Кроме того, удалось обнаружить ошибки, связанные с реактивным эффектом: в соревновании увеличивается доля ошибок, вызванных собственным промахом в предыдущей пробе. Повышается не только количество ошибок после промахов – их характер также претерпевает изменения, поскольку увеличивается величина промаха и меняется тенденция оценки временных интервалов. Описанные результаты можно интерпретировать как свидетельство изменений в процессе контроля.

Fetal mortality, included in perinatal mortality, includes deaths from the full 22nd week or fetuses weighing 500g or more (ICD-10). It is a sensitive indicator of maternal health, quality and accessibility to primary health care for pregnant women. The goal is evaluate the association between delays in the care provided to pregnant and the outcomes of fetal death in a tertiary reference maternity hospital in the Brazilian Northeast. An observational, case-control study, including 72 cases of fetal death and 144 controls (live births) in women admitted to the Obstetrics Service of the Assis Chateaubriand Teaching Maternity Hospital, in Fortaleza, Ceará. Controls were matched (2:1) by the approximate gestational age of the case. The groups were compared using the three delays model of obstetric care. The Pearson's Chi-square test and the Fisher's exact test were used to compare the groups. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
En manos de hombres: pornografía, trata y prostitución
Authors: Szil Peter
Published: November 2018

Este artículo tratará del factor determinante y sin embargo sistemáticamente invisibilizado de la prostitución y la trata: la demanda masculina. Estudiará el papel que juega en ella una cultura pornográfica omnipresente y de fuerte carga misógina que no solo promueve esa demanda y determina sus prácticas, sino también ha llegado a secuestrar la manera de conceptualizar la sexualidad para toda la sociedad, instituyendo en las relaciones la desigualdad en lugar de la satisfacción mutua. El artículo parte de la premisa de que para atajar la prostitución (y de esta manera prevenir la trata) es imprescindible visibilizar y responsabilizar a los hombres prostituidores. La problematización del papel de los hombres en la prostitución es, en su turno, imprescindible para involucrar a los varones en un trabajo tanto personal como de responsabilidad colectiva capaz de cuestionar los conceptos que sostienen la prostitución y, en su prolongación, la dominación sexualizada como esencia del patriarcado.
Correlation of anatomical variations in chronic sinusitis with diagnostic nasal endoscopy and CT scan of paranasal sinuses: an observational study
Authors: Ramesh Babu G. , Kumar G. Ravi , Krishna Chaitanya V.
Published: November 2018

Background: Drainage and ventilation of paranasal sinuses are important for normal function which depends on effective mucociliary clearance. In present study we tried to emphasize variations in lateral wall of nose and clinical features leading to nose and paranasal sinus disease using diagnostic nasal endoscopy and variations in CT scan of paranasal sinuses. The objectives of the study are to observe various anatomical variations in nose and paranasal sinuses and their clinical presentation using diagnostic nasal endoscopy and CT scan of paranasal sinuses and to compare various anatomical variations in nose and paranasal sinuses.

Methods: Present study included 54 patients presenting in Department of ENT, Head and Neck Surgery, during February 2015 to February 2017.   

Results: Diagnostic nasal endoscopy findings reveal that most common finding was polypoidal changes in nasal mucosa in 36 (66.67%) of patients, followed by mucopurulent discharge in 26 (48.14%), postnasal discharge in 20(37.03%) and 4 (7.40%) patients showed prominent agger nasi cell. CT scan of paranasal sinuses revealed multiple sinus involvement in 41 (75.92%) of patients with partial involvement of sinuses. Complete sinus opacification with pan sinusitis was observed in 9 (16.67%), blockade at osteomeatal complex was observed in 46 (85.18%), paradoxical middle turbinate was observed in 5 (9.25%), Concha bullosa was observed in 12 (22.23%) of patients.

Conclusions: Each variation have an anatomic and surgical significance, hence each and every case should be individually studied in detail before undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery to maximize patient benefit and to prevent unnecessary complications. Diagnostic nasal endoscopic examination is clinical guide to evaluate disease.
A representação linguístico-discursiva de Jesus Cristo em seu sermão sobre o cumprimento do amor a partir do Evangelho segundo São Mateus
Authors: Fernandes de Santana Wilder Kleber , Francelino Pedro Farias
Published: November 2018

Este trabalho delimita como objeto de estudo “a representação linguístico-discursiva do sujeito enunciativo Jesus Cristo em seu sermão sobre o cumprimento do amor, a partir dos registros evangelísticos de São Mateus”. Os pontos de vista desse autor conferenciam responsividade diante dos acontecimentos registrados. Remetemo-nos a Bakhtin e o círculo para fundamentar nossa pesquisa, uma vez que a remissão ao campo da religião e ao universo cristão, com suas particularidades e símbolos, são recorrentes na produção dos estudiosos russos. O dado constitui-se de 5 (cinco) versículos bíblicos relatados por São Mateus sobre as palavras de Jesus. A exposição oral (sermão expositivo) geralmente se realiza numa situação de comunicação específica em que o orador (ou expositor) une-se, pela interação verbal, ao(s) seu(s) destinatário(s). Dessa forma, a exposição oral se caracteriza pelas diferentes formas de presença do outro, ou seja, presença de diversas vozes sociais resultantes de interações interdiscursivas. Trata-se, portanto, a pesquisa, de uma produção de cunho qualitativo-interpretativo. A versão bíblica que se adotou como suporte e referência para a composição deste trabalho foi a Bíblia de Jerusalém (Nova Edição Revista e Ampliada), cuja tradução foi realizada direto dos textos originais (hebraico e grego).

A teoria Sentido-Texto e suas possibilidades de aplicação em dicionários de aprendizes do espanhol
Authors: Borba Laura Campos de
Published: November 2018

Estudantes de línguas estrangeiras precisam de ferramentas linguísticas confiáveis que descrevam a língua em uso, por um lado, e que satisfaçam as suas necessidades, por outro lado. Dicionários de aprendizes são ferramentas compiladas para auxiliar esse perfil de usuário em tarefas de compreensão e de produção. As colocações formam parte do conjunto dos principais fenômenos atinentes à produção. Esse tipo de combinatória carece de uma melhor descrição em muitos dicionários de aprendizes, especialmente nos dicionários de aprendizes de espanhol (DAEs) devido ao seu tratamento insatisfatório. O objetivo deste artigo é explorar a possibilidade de aplicação da Teoria Sentido-Texto (TST) para descrever colocações em DAEs. Primeiramente, introduzimos os postulados gerais da TST. Em seguida, listamos e analisamos colocações incluídas em DAEs e dicionários monolíngues de espanhol, comparando-as com dados de corpus. Por fim, aplicamos a TST na descrição das colocações encontradas e propomos uma adaptação da notação da TST. Conclui-se que a TST oferece um método bastante útil para descrever colocações. A próxima etapa desta pesquisa é apresentar as informações linguísticas de maneira ainda mais amigável para o consulente dos DAEs.
Jacob Grimm: da exaltação da língua alemã à linguística do século XIX
Authors: Rocha Raul De Carvalho , Faria Núbia Rabelo Bakker
Published: November 2018

O presente trabalho busca demonstrar a influência e o impacto dos ideais do Romantismo alemão no direcionamento das reflexões sobre a linguagem no século XIX, que contribuiu para o estabelecimento da Linguística como ciência. Será dada ênfase a Jacob Grimm (1785–1863), conhecido pela compilação, com o seu irmão, Wilhelm (1786–1859), de contos infantis extraídos do folclore alemão (publicados entre 1812–1815) e pela formulação da nomeada “primeira lei fonética”. Influenciado pelo nacionalismo romântico, que se caracterizou por recusar o passado clássico e por exaltar a literatura e a língua nacionais, Grimm dedicou-se ao estudo das manifestações culturais genuinamente germânicas e da língua alemã, com vistas a enaltecer a identidade nacional. O resultado, entretanto, foi a importante descoberta da mutação fônica sistemática, observada na comparação entre o grego, o gótico, o latim e o sânscrito, que influenciará os rumos dos estudos linguísticos modernos. Partindo-se de uma contextualização histórica e exposição teórica sobre o Romantismo, relacionar-se-ão os ideais do movimento com a obra linguística de Grimm. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza bibliográfica, teoricamente fundamentada em Robins (1979) e Morpurgo Davies (1998), obras voltadas para a historiografia linguística, e em Guinsburg (1978), no campo da teoria da literatura.
A noção de corpo em Saussure e em Freud: um encontro paradoxal
Authors: Carvalho Glória Maria Monteiro , Melo Maria de Fátima Vilar
Published: November 2018

Propomos, neste artigo, indicar um ponto de encontro entre Saussure e Freud no que diz respeito ao lugar ocupado pelo corpo do falante em suas teorias. Para colocar em discussão essa proposta, destacamos que, na perspectiva saussuriana, os sons afetam o ouvido, provocando nesse órgão uma atividade de decisão/de julgamento sobre semelhanças e diferenças (entre sons) ou, em outras palavras, o som impressiona o ouvido. Da perspectiva freudiana, recortamos a memória que possui como noção básica, a de traços mnemônicos, ou seja, a de rastros de impressões sensoriais que estão em constante movimento. Assim, tanto para o pai da linguística como para o pai da psicanálise, a sensação modifica, impressiona o corpo do falante, ou melhor, imprime suas marcas que se articulam, ou se associam. Essa proposta de encontro não é, contudo, pacífica, sem problemas, tanto pelo fato de que o conceito de corpo é nebuloso nos dois autores, como também pelos efeitos de desencontro que, paradoxalmente, ele produz.
Restrições linguísticas na palatalização do /s/ pós-vocálico seguido de [t] ou [ʧ] na fala de Caravelas – Bahia
Authors: Lima Jares Gomes , Scherre Maria Marta Pereira
Published: November 2018

Neste texto, apresentamos generalizações sobre efeitos linguísticos na realização alveopalatal [ʃ] ou alveolar [s] do /S/ pós-vocálico seguido de [t] ou [ʧ] na fala de 25 falantes de Caravelas-BA, estratificados pelo sexo, faixa etária e escolarização. A análise foi feita à luz da Teoria da Variação e Mudança Linguística (LABOV, 2008 [1972]; WEINREICH, LABOV & HERZOG, 2006 [1968]). Para o tratamento estatístico dos 1189 dados variáveis, usamos o GoldVarb X (SANKOFF, TAGLIAMONTE & SMITH, 2005). A primeira restrição estatisticamente significativa é a posição do /S/ na palavra, com a posição medial favorecendo a palatalização. A segunda é o contexto vocálico antecedente, em que a palatalização é favorecida pelos traços [+posterior] e [+alto]: o efeito mais forte é da vogal [u]. A posteriorização é o traço de maior influência, paralelamente ao efeito da vogal alta anterior [i]. Portanto, quanto mais recuada e mais alta a língua na vogal antecedente, maior a chance da realização alveopalatal. A terceira restrição estatisticamente significativa é o contexto consonantal seguinte, em que a alveopalatal é favorecida pela africada alveopalatal [ʧ] e inibida pela oclusiva alveolar [t]. Desse modo, propriedades de segmentos precedentes e seguintes evidenciam assimilação progressiva e regressiva, respectivamente, caracterizando um fenômeno linguístico regular.

Nump e silent nouns: Fronteiras sintáticas na marcação de plural no PB
Authors: Pereira Bruna Karla
Published: November 2018

Neste artigo, investiga-se a distribuição do morfema de plural, na estrutura interna do DP, em português brasileiro não padrão (PB). Argumenta-se que essa distribuição é determinada pela posição de cardinais (DANON, 2011; NORRIS, 2014) ou de silent nouns (KAYNE, 2005). Assim, propõe-se que: (I) a posição dos cardinais divide o DP em dois domínios nos quais sintagmas à esquerda de NumP são marcados com o morfema ‘-s’ de plural, enquanto sintagmas à direita de NumP não são; (II) a posição de silent nouns exerce basicamente essa mesma função, em estruturas nas quais os cardinais não podem aparecer; e (III) os traços de número são valorados e interpretáveis em Num (AUGUSTO et al., 2006) e se tornam valorados em D e N após checagem via concordância (PESETSKY; TORREGO, 2006).

Published: November 2018

Introduction: Occupational exposure with polluted sharp equipment usually occurs during procedures such as transfusion of blood and blood products, blood sampling, disposal of needles, and collection of polluted sharp materials. Considering the fact that students have less work experience and lower practical skills, they are more vulnerable to work-related infections. The present study was conducted to determine and compare the awareness of nursing, midwifery, and surgical technology students about occupational exposure management.Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 221 students of nursing, midwifery, and surgical technology selected using the stratified random sampling in 2016. Data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire including the students' demographic characteristics and awareness about occupational exposure management. Data were analyzed by SPSS18 using descriptive and analytical statistical tests.Results: Our findings showed that the mean scores of awareness about occupational exposure management were not significantly different among the nursing, midwifery, and surgical technology students (p value = 0.435). We observed that the students' age and educational level were significantly correlated with their scores of awareness about occupational exposure management (p value < 0.001).Conclusions: Results of the present study indicated poor awareness of the students about in-time management of occupational exposure. Measures such as educational workshops on preventive aspects in occupational exposure, observance of safety principles and comprehensive standards for accurate measurement of viral markers should be taken. Individual health profiles should be designed for each student to improve the occupational exposure management.

Introduction: The working conditions, type of activity, and production or consumption of different materials expose the employees to harmful biological factors, which leads to infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the harmful biological agents of the work environment among administrative personnel of a power plant in south of Iran.
Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 administrative workers of different sections of power plant in 2016. The participants used personal protective equipment and samples were collected from five parts of the participants' body including auricle, inside the ear, the area between the toes, palm of foot, toe nails. Finally, 1000 samples were collected.
Results: The mean age of the workers was  years and all participants were male. Of the 1000 samples cultivated in the laboratory, 192 (96%) people had negative and 8 (4%) had positive culture results. The results showed that auricle had the highest rate of opportunistic pathogenic fungi (87.5%). The most positive cases of opportunistic pathogens were associated with workshops, warehouses, and operational buildings.
Conclusion: Regarding the results of the study, we need to implement more health care in the mentioned places, observe personal hygiene in keeping the feet dry, not using protective handsets (air plug and earmuff) of other people, disinfecting the personal protective equipment, and daily washing to prevent the spread of the disease to other people.

Published: November 2018

ntroduction: Due to high differentiation potential and self-renewality, Mesenchymal stem cells are now widely considered by researchers in several diseases. FBS is used as a supplement in culture media for proliferation, differentiation, and other culture processes of MSCs, which is associated with transmission risk of a variety of infections as well as immune responses. PRGF derived from platelets contains growth factors causing the growth and proliferation of MSCs. This study was conducted to compare the effect of PRGF in comparison to FBS on the expression of h-TERT gene, in umbilical cord-derived MSCs. Materials and Methods: This study is an experimental research. Four expired platelet concentrate bags were obtained from Kerman blood transfusion center, and PRGF was prepared by multiple centrifugation rounds of the platelet bag. Calcium chloride was added as an anticoagulant to PRGF in order to prevent gelatinization of the culture medium. On the other hand, mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the umbilical cord as a primary culture. The phenotype of the cells was confirmed by flow cytometry, and the cells were randomly cultured as control (using FBS) and experimental (using PRGF) groups. The expression of the gene involved in increasing cell longevity (h-TERT) was investigated by real-time PCR technique after six days. Results: Mesenchymal stem cells were successfully isolated from the umbilical cord. Morphologically, the mesenchymal cells cultured in the experimental group (using PRGF) were similar to the cells in the control medium. The cells exhibited a high expression level of CD73, CD90, and CD105, while the surface markers of hematopoietic cells such as CD45 and CD34 were slightly expressed. Therefore, there was no significant difference in the expression of cell surface markers between control and experimental groups. In this study, using the real-time PCR technique, it was shown that PRGF derived from the platelet could increase the expression of h- TERT gene in the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells compared with the control.

Published: November 2018

Introduction: The anti-infective effect of early colonization of infants by potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria in human milk is a growing area of research. Lactobacillus plantarum colonization in early infancy may be important to health in later life. Here, we present an investigation into the presence of L. plantarum in breast milk from Iranian mothers. Materials and Methods: Human breast milk samples (n = 40) were randomly collected from lactating and breastfeeding women having undergone full-term pregnancies. Information concerning personal characteristics was collected after birth. The samples were cultured in de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe medium using the pour plate technique, and isolates were initially identified by biochemical methods. Isolates were established as belonging to the genus Lactobacillus based on the 16- 23S rRNA region, and the species L. plantarum was identified using PCR and primers targeting the recA gene. Results: In our study, 35 samples (87.5%) contained suspected lactobacilli based on phenotypic tests. Thirty of these (85.71%) were confirmed as containing bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus using a genotypic method (PCR), all of which were found to be L. plantarum. Conclusion: Probiotic bacteria in a mother’s breast milk may have positive effects on her infant’s health. This insight creates new perspectives concerning the use of breast milk as a source of probiotic bacteria for bacteriotherapy.
THEOLOGY AND ENGLISH LITERATURE: FROM CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE TO ALEXANDER POPE
Authors: Kumari Suruchi , Alexander Ashish
Published: November 2018

Generally, it is not obvious to people that theology has contributed a lot in the formation of English literature. So, this paper tries to picture and convince how the writings of English Literature writers have impacts and influences in themselves from the biblical theology. Writers like William Shakespeare uses the theology of grace in his play All’s Well that’s End Well. John Milton pens theology of Freedom of Choice. John Donne writes Trinitarian Theology.

Christopher Marlowe shows the theology of Doctor Faustus, which shines under the title like purgatory the highest junction. Alexander Pope reflects the theology of participation in self Salvation and shows theodicy in his work. Theology and English literature go together.

They are inseparable. Theology is interwoven in English Literature. It appears convincingly that William Shakespeare, John Milton, John Donne, Christopher Marlowe, and Alexander Pope have sufficiently left grains in their writings which compel to justify the significance of theology in English Literature.

Visual communication in architecture is a genuine aspiration in realizing the relationship between the Malays and other communities. The composition of the models in this communication is very well organized and will remain relevant to be developed from time to time. It is an observation on the symbols, types of motifs and design aspects of the carvings, also the structural elements in the Malay architecture of Negeri Sembilan.

This also comprises the study of the chronology of the early history of the Malay architecture of Negeri Sembilan which has its linkages with the Islamic art. Emphasis is given to the diversity in the carving characteristics as a comparison regarding historical, cultural and environmental backgrounds. The delicacy of the craftsmanship among Malay carvers in Negeri Sembilan is reflected in their maturity and ability to fuse traditional elements and Islam. Symbols that have motifs in the carvings result from the carvers' observation and experience.

The selection of these motifs is carefully made to ensure that they are the Islamic teachings and not deviating with the Islamic law. Carvings in the Malay architecture of Negeri Sembilan are also crafted with an aim to beautify a piece of architecture made of various motifs. Those carved parts are always assured to maintain the balance with the surrounding space. Floral motifs are often combined with cosmic or geometrical motifs. In many cases, plant-based motifs are also prevalence translated into carvings. This is a tribute from the Malay carvers to beauty, perfection, and harmony of nature.

Objetiva-se investigar a contribuição da adi- ção de nanopartículas de prata e/ou plasma a baixa pressão e temperatura na adesão da Candida albicans em superfícies de base acrílica. Para tanto, foram confeccionadas 80 amostras padrão de poli(metacrilato de metila) com dimensões de 2 cm x 1 cm x   3 mm, sendo divididos em 4 grupos: (G1) grupo controle; (G2) adição de 0,3% de nanopartículas de prata, somente; (G3) adi- ção de banho de plasma de baixa pressão e temperatura na superfície da resina acrílica; (G4) adição de 0,3% de nanopartículas de prata acrescidas debanho de plasma à baixa pressão e temperatura. Todos os  corpos de prova foram contaminados com C. albi- cans a partir de uma solução contendo 107 células/mililitros. Após 24 horas da contami- nação, os corpos de prova foram removidos e, subsequentemente, houve a determina- ção da adesão fúngica através da contagem das unidades formadoras de colônias por mL. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o teste de ANOVA-one way, seguido pela análise de comparações múltiplas pelo teste de Tukey’s. Quando o grupo-controle foi comparado aos grupos 2, 3 e 4, observou-se diferença significativa entre eles (P< 0,0001). Quando comparados os grupos testes, não se observou diferença estatisticamente sig- nificativa. A adição de nanopartículas de prata de forma individual, bem como o uso de plasma a baixa pressão e temperatura utilizado de forma isolada ou em conjunto  a adição de nanopartículas de prata, parece ser uma estratégia promissora na prevenção de estomatite protética, diminuindo a ade- são fúngica em resinas acrílicas.

Authors: Balan Karla Cristina Kisner , PEREIRA JORGE IRANISE MORO , DA SILVA DERIVAN BRITO
Published: November 2018

Trata-se de um estudo com abordagem quantitativa e exploratória descritiva de caráter transversal, que tem como objetivo avaliar o nível de estresse ocupacional e o contexto de trabalho de residentes de um programa da Universidade Federal do Paraná. Utilizou-se para a coleta de dados três questionários estruturados para traçar o perfil dos participantes e avaliar o nível de estresse através da Escala de Estresse no Trabalho (EET) e da Escala de Avaliação do Contexto de Trabalho (EACT). A análise de dados dos questionários validados foi pautada de acordo com a orientação das escalas, utilizando o Microsoft Excel como suporte para uma análise estatística descritiva. Os resultados obtidos mostram uma variação no nível de estresse entre os residentes do primeiro e segundo ano de programa. Dentre os participantes da pesquisa, cinco são do sexo masculino e vinte e três do sexo feminino, tendo-se uma média de 25,8 anos. Em relação à EACT, 57% dos residentes do primeiro ano apresentam nível crítico de estresse e 14% nível satisfatório. Já quanto aos do segundo ano, 28% apresentam nível grave e 71% crítico. A EET mostrou que 29% dos residentes apresentam um nível satisfatório dentro da escala e 50% estão pontuados no nível crítico. Os resultados apontam um índice significativo de estresse em ambas as escalas e categorias de residentes, apontando uma necessidade de estimular a criação de métodos para minimizar o desenvolvimento de estresse no ambiente laboral, bem como a relevância da busca de estratégias para lidar com as situações vivenciadas durante o processo de especialização.
La Nueva Realidad Laboral y Empresarial. Los Nuevos Prestadores de Servicios y las Nuevas Tecnologías, Robotización, Digitalización, Inteligencia Artificial
Authors: Alonso María Antonia Pérez
Published: November 2018

Actualmente, la nueva realidad laboral y empresarial y los nuevos prestadores de servicios y las nuevas tecnologías, robotización, digitalización, inteligencia artificial han hecho que el ámbito de las relaciones laborales haya quedado trastocado dejando sin cobertura y en desprotección a un gran número de colectivos que prestan sus servicios mediante plataformas digitales y nuevas modalidades empresariales.

La delimitación de las nuevas categorías de trabajadores impide la protección por el derecho del trabajo clásico, quedando éste, en entredicho, permitiendo el trabajo sin la cobertura del derecho laboral a un gran colectivo de trabajadores que prestan sus servicios de forma muy precaria y con escasas o nulas condiciones de trabajo y con la apariencia de trabajadores autónomos precarios.
Adolescente: Ato Infracional e Medidas Socioeducativas
Authors: Ramidoff Mário Luiz , Ramidoff Luísa Munhoz B.
Published: November 2018

O presente artigo tem por objeto de estudo e pesquisa a responsabilização diferenciada dos adolescentes a quem se atribui a prática de condutas consideradas conflitantes com a lei. A responsabilização diferenciada pode ser realizada através da determinação judicial do cumprimento de medidas de proteção e de medidas socioeducativas. Os atos infracionais são normativamente assemelhados às condutas, então, tipificadas como substrato fático (núcleo do tipo penal) de crimes e contravenções penais, mas com esses não se confundem. As medidas socioeducativas, de igual maneira, não podem ser tomadas como sanções penais, haja vista que possuem como vetor orientativo preferencialmente o caráter pedagógico, e, não, diversamente, o repressivo-punitivo.

Authors: Mangan John J. , Tan Timothy L. , Freedman Kevin , Levicoff Eric
Published: November 2018

Case:

A 20-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a painful left hip. Clinical evaluation and investigation led to the diagnosis of bacterial arthritis of the left hip. After undergoing an irrigation and debridement, the patient became hypoxic and critically ill from sepsis due to Lemierre syndrome.

Conclusion:

Lemierre syndrome is a rare clinical scenario that may present with bacterial arthritis secondary to septic embolization. Patients have anaerobic bacteremia and diffuse septic embolization that may spread to a joint and the lungs. This syndrome has substantial morbidity and mortality.

Published: November 2018

Case:

We describe a patient who was diagnosed with developmental hip dislocation at 21 months of age despite having had normal ultrasonography findings at 5 weeks of age.

Conclusion:

This case report provides evidence that late developmental hip dislocation can occur despite normal clinical and sonographic findings early in life, and that it is difficult to know the cause of developmental hip dislocation when it presents late.
Taper Corrosion and Adverse Local Tissue Reactions in Patients with a Modular Knee Prosthesis
Authors: Christiner Tom , Pabbruwe Moreica B. , Kop Alan M. , Parry Jeremy , Clark Gavin , Collopy Dermot
Published: November 2018

Background:

Corrosion has been documented in modular knee implants, but it has not been related to negative patient outcomes. We performed an observational retrieval investigation of 13 Stryker Triathlon TS modular knee implants, 3 of which were revised because of osteolysis and adverse local tissue reactions secondary to fretting corrosion at the modular junctions.

Methods:

Modular surfaces were examined for the presence and severity of corrosion, and factors that may influence the development of corrosion were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy were performed to evaluate implants with severe corrosion, and tissue samples were sent for histopathological analysis.

Results:

Mild to severe corrosion was present in association with 62% of modular tibial components and 75% of modular femoral components. Although tibial corrosion was less prevalent than femoral corrosion, it occurred earlier and with greater severity. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy demonstrated the appearances of fretting and corrosion of the modular junctions. Histopathological analysis of specimens from the 3 patients with adverse local tissue reactions demonstrated severe reactions to metal debris, including 1 reaction that was consistent with an aseptic lymphocyte-dominated vasculitis-associated lesion (ALVAL).

Conclusions:

To our knowledge, ALVAL and pseudotumors have not previously been reported secondary to corrosion of modular knee replacements. The threaded taper design and the release of cobalt-chromium ions and/or debris are implicated in the occurrence of the adverse local tissue reactions, osteolysis, and soft-tissue damage that we observed in our investigation. Clinicians should be aware of this possible complication associated with modular knee implants.

Clinical Relevance:

This article should raise clinician awareness of adverse local tissue reactions secondary to corrosion, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of this complication.
THE EVOLUTION OF GENRE IN THE WRITING PROCESS
Authors: Grimmer Raelke
Published: November 2018

Categorising works by genre can be controversial in literature. Margaret Atwood and Kazuo Ishiguro are two examples of writers who have been vocal in denouncing the genre their works have been boxed into. Yet genre is an essential part of the writing process, because specific language, styles and structures are used within different social contexts to communicate purpose. This paper is a practice-led study that analyses the evolution in genre of what became a memoir, to illustrate how experimenting with different genres shaped the final form, structure and genre of the piece. While genre did not dictate the writing process from the first time I sat down to write, communicating my purpose the way I intended depended on finding the right genre. I worked on the memoir over a few years, and in that time the text began as a short story and then morphed to poetry, an essay, and finally, to a memoir. Once a completed work is published, the labelling of that work is then out of the writer’s hands. Yet separate to the role genre plays in selling books, genre is key in text construction and a tool that writers have at their disposal during the writing process to enrich their work.

Published: November 2018

Fungal
endophytes are the critical organisms in the environment residing in the plant
tissues without showing any harmful effects on its host life cycle. The finding
of fungal endophytes in natural habitat has been insufficient due to some
non-sporulating and non-culturable fungal endophytes by traditional method.
Several investigations on fungal endophytes in plants have resulted in an
excessive knowledge of the group. This review emphasis on the biology of fungal
endophytes, their discovery, isolation, identification by morphological and
molecular methods, production, purification and structure elucidation of the
bioactive compounds.
