Aftermath of climate change on insect migration: A review
Authors: Sujayanand*1 G.K. , Karuppaiah2 V.
Published: September 2016

Climate change is inflicting a huge impact in all the corners of biosphere. The insects, one of the early inhabitants of the biosphere are well known for their co-evolution with the plants and adaptation to the diverse environments. The power of flight makes the insect community to occupy new habitats and hence insect migration is one of the predominant areas for investigation in the perspective of climate change. The insect migration is a complex science that involves thorough understanding of insect bio-ecology along with knowledge of meteorology, aerodynamics, remote sensing and climatology. The various abiotic parameters that influence the insect migration and the effects of these parameters under the changing climatic scenario are discussed in this paper.
Productive and reproductive perfomances of desi pigs: A review
Authors: Boro* Prasanta , Patel B.H.M. , Naha B.C. , Sahoo N.R. , Gaur G.K. , Dutt Triveni , Singh Mukesh , Madkar Ambadas
Published: September 2016

The assessment of productive and reproductive performances of pig breeds have been done in different countries of the world. However, the same study for indigenous or so called desi pigs in different parts of India is limited. It is now believed that the study of some productive and reproductive traits is most essential to evaluate the potentiality of these indigenous pigs. In India, only limited studies on productive and reproductive traits have been carried out on indigenous pigs that too detailed studies have been done only in three recognised pig breeds namely Ghungroo, Niang-Megha and Agonda Goan. The desi pigs are having very sound reproductive efficiency and medium production potential. These characteristics of desi pigs are very much suitable to the small pig farmers with low input production system for livelihood and sustainable pig farming. These productive and reproductive analyses will be useful in the selection of breeding stock for future parent generation.
Pienso luego entonces miento, un marcador de ficción
Authors: Guzmán Rocío , Maldonado Ricardo
Published: September 2016

En contraste con estudios gramaticales tradicionales (Alcina y Blecua, 1975; Bello, 1988; Beristáin, 2006; Cuervo, 1981; Fuentes Rodríguez, 1985) que ven en luego un marcador de consecuencia lógica (Pienso luego existo [Descartes], Se puso el abrigo luego hacía frío), en este artículo sostenemos que ninguna de las dos expresiones significa consecuencia lógica puesto que el antecedente no es premisa necesaria para su resultado. Se propone, en cambio, que el significado consecutivo de luego está deslavado y sólo tiene representaciones de corte subjetivo que se funden con el carácter consecutivo que se alcanza a reconocer en el marcador temporal entonces. Con base en la teoría de fusiones mentales (conceptual blending, Turner y Fauconnier, 2002), mostraremos que la aparente objetividad de la locución es una estrategia argumentativa que recubre de objetividad emisiones subjetivo-evaluativas. La representación subjetiva de luego es reforzada por la fase consecutiva de entonces para así expresar consecuencias ficticias basadas en constructos discursivos que el emisor presenta como consecuencias reales e incuestionables. Se trata de una estrategia objetivizante que se explica en forma natural a partir de las propuestas de subjetivización de Langacker (1990). La veracidad de la relación consecutiva está basada en los presupuestos del hablante más que en los hechos.
Del aspecto a la modalidad epistémica y la evidencialidad. El caso de la construcción tener entendido
Authors: Sanz Blanca
Published: September 2016

La perífrasis tener + participio se caracteriza por expresar un sentido aspectual, pero en los contextos donde el verbo nuclear de la perífrasis es entender, esta tiende a rebasar el plano aspectual para adquirir matices modales. De los valores modales epistémicos pueden surgir significados evidenciales, como en Juan tiene entendido que el maestro no va a venir. El objetivo de este artículo se centra en presentar un análisis diacrónico, del siglo xvi al xx, de las pautas sintácticas y semánticas que posibilitan la evolución del sentido aspectual al modal en la construcción tener entendido. El trabajo describe la dimensión aspectual de la perífrasis tener entendido y su evolución hacia la modalidad epistémica y evidencialidad, lo que ofrece evidencia a favor de ciertas tendencias del cambio gramatical, como la subjetivización, los procesos metafóricos, los procesos de inferencia y la convencionalización. En la ruta evolutiva que va de la aspectualidad hacia la modalidad y evidencialidad existen contextos puente.

Para comenzar, quiero señalar que me parece muy importanteque se publiquen trabajos referentes al léxico del español.Resulta que esta área ha sido poco trabajada en elámbito de la lingüística mexicana y se la ve un poco comoel “patito feo” dentro de esta disciplina, cuando en verdad, ypor muy diversos motivos, el estudio del léxico resulta fundamental,en cuanto que las palabras son unidades básicasde la lengua y son las que conectan directamente con la realidad,con el mundo exterior a la lengua y con la mente y lavida de los seres humanos.

De la cuantificación al estado mental: un estudio del verbo valer
Authors: Arrington Báez Elenor , Melis Chantal
Published: September 2016

En algunas variedades del español, el verbo valer, acompañado de un dativo (valerle), significa ‘no importarle a alguien una cosa o persona’. El objetivo del presente estudio es trazar el camino evolutivo que llevó a este uso peculiar, en el que un enunciado afirmativo en su forma dispara una lectura de sentido ne- gativo. Proponemos que el camino pasa por un fenómeno de “colocación”, cuyo papel resulta ser fundamental. Las colocaciones están formadas con sustantivos gramaticalizados que aportan una noción cuantificativa de escaso valor (valer un comino = valer muy poco), y establecen el escenario dentro del cual valer se desliza hacia el campo mental en presencia de un experimentante dativo (me vale un comino = me importa muy poco), adoptado, según nuestra hipótesis, por imitación del verbo importar que co-ocurre con los mismos sustantivos. El camino desemboca en el uso antes referido mediante la supresión del elemento cuantificativo de las colocaciones.
Prácticas lexicográficas e ideas lingüísticas en Benjamín Fernández y Medina

Muchas veces las notas léxico-lexicográficas y los glosarios que acompañan una obra literaria se convierten en fuente invalorable para estudiar las ideas lingüís- ticas que circulan en una época. Este es el caso de los recursos lexicográficos em- pleados por Benjamín Fernández y Medina (Montevideo, 1873-Madrid, 1960) en las compilaciones de sus cuentos publicadas a fines del siglo xix y principios del xx. Esos recursos, que son el centro de análisis de este artículo, muestran, por un lado, la íntima relación entre prácticas lexicográficas e ideas lingüísticas pero también constituyen una fuente para el estudio del español de la época y de las prácticas lexicográficas propiamente dichas. El análisis de la macro y microestructura de los glosarios de Fernández y Medina permite ubicarlos en el concierto de la tradición lexicográfica hispano- americana que nace de la necesidad de aclarar o explicar ciertas voces locales, muchas veces ruralismos y/o indigenismos. Como tales, contribuyen a escribir la historia de la lexicografía en el Uruguay y a profundizar en esa área de la his- toriografía lingüística uruguaya.

Homologous recombination deficiency in ovarian cancer and beyond
Authors: Ruscito Ilary , Banerjee Susana
Published: September 2016

It has been well established that failure in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) mechanism for DNA double strand repair causes genomic instability and increases the risk for cell transformation. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are currently known to be the most frequent responsible for homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) but HRD can occur through other processes including mutations and epigenetic aberration of HRD-related genes and the indirect interaction of BRCA proteins with other proteins involved in the DNA repair. Current efforts in this field are concentrating in identifying an HRD molecular signature able to predict response to chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors, thus allowing to extend novel targeted treatments beyond germline BRCA mutated ovarian cancer patients. The aim of this brief review is to summarize the current evidence regarding HRD beyond germline BRCA mutations and therapeutic approaches.
Mismatch repair deficiency: a step forward personalized medicine in endometrial cancer?
Authors: Pepa Chiara Della , Banerjee Susana , George Angela
Published: September 2016

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common female malignancy in the world, it has traditionally been classified into two subgroups based on histopathological features, however this dualistic classification does not take into consideration subtypes such as high-grade endometrioid EC. Recently, work performed as part of The Cancer Genome Atlas study has focused on molecular genomic classification of EC, with four distinct molecular subtypes described: 1. POLE ultramutated, associated with a good prognosis; 2. Microsatellite instability (MSI) hypermutated; 3. Copy number low and microsatellite stable; 4. Copy number high, serous like, associated with a poor prognosis. The subgroup of patients with MSI is of particular interest for a number of reasons, including the use of tumour screening to identify patients with Lynch syndrome, the prognostic significance of MSI, and the potential therapeutic implications. This review will focus on the current knowledge in these areas and potential future directions.

We present the case of a patient with a locally advanced synovial sarcoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequent surgery who presented an early metastatic relapse, wherein a rapid and significant response was achieved with trabectedin, and in whom maintenance of the drug until clinical progression of the disease allowed 27 cycles of treatment to be administered despite the patient presenting radiological progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria 15 cycles earlier.
Patient-reported outcomes in clinical trials
Authors: Joly Florence , Mittica Gloria
Published: September 2016

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are progressively being included in clinical trials to provide information about treatment benefits identified by the patients themselves that extend the data on traditional clinical trial endpoints, such as disease free survival, overall survival, progression-free survival, and response rate. PROs may have a greater impact for patients than other endpoints. For example, patients may be prepared to forgo some increase in progression-free survival in return for reduced treatment-related toxicity. PROs may also be an indicator of disease response and have value as prognostic factors. This article discusses the way PROs can be defined and incorporated into clinical trials to enhance the value of clinical trials data and improve the understanding of the clinical benefits of a specific treatment, not only for health care professionals, but for patients and caregivers. The importance and relevance of a patient-centered perspective and shared decision making in defining value and determining treatment benefit is increasingly recognized. However, despite the acknowledged value of PROs, their inclusion in clinical trials remains far from ideal. New guidelines from the research community and technological improvements in data collection and analytics will increase the quality and the importance of PROs as standard methods for the evaluation of medical studies and in the drugs approval process.

Influence des facteurs naturels sur la maturation du raisin, en 1979, à Pomerol et Saint-Emilion
Authors: Duteau Jacques , Guilloux-Benatier Michèle , Seguin Gérard
Published: September 2016

Les vignobles de Pomerol et Saint-Emilion sont implantés sur des sols dérivant de roches-mères variées; ils produisent des vins de haute qualité mais différents suivant leur origine géologique.

Dans les meilleurs crus, nous avons pu vérifier que les variations mésoclimatiques sont très faibles et ont peu d'influence sur les caractères des vins. Par contre, en 1979, une relation a été mise en évidence entre les conditions de l'alimentation en eau de la vigne (étroitement liées aux propriétés physiques des sols) et la constitution des raisins à maturité (V. vinifera var. Merlot noir).

The vineyards of Pomerol and Saint-Emilion (France) are established on soils derived from different parent materials; they produce wines of high quality, which differ according to the geological origin of the soil.

In the better vineyards, variations in the mesoclimates are small and have little influence on the characters of the wines. But, in 1979, a relationship was established betwen the conditions of wateruptake by Vitis vinifera (var. Merlot noir) and the composition or the grape at maturity.

Influence des facteurs naturels sur la maturation et la surmaturation du raisin dans le Sauternais, en 1978 et 1979
Authors: Pucheu-Planté Bernard , Seguin Gérard
Published: September 2016

La qualité des vins blancs liquoreux de Sauternes dépend essentiellement des facteurs climatiques qui favorisent ou non le développement de Botrytis cinerea sous forme de « pourriture noble ». Mais le rôle du sol n'est pas moins fondamental : en évitant une alimentation en eau excessive durant la maturation du raisin, il permet d'obtenir des baies non éclatées, condition indispensable à une bonne surmaturation du raisin.

+++

The quality of the Sauternes sweet white wines depends essentially on the climatic factors that favor the development of Botrytis cinerea in the form of « noble rot ». But the soil plays a not less fundamenral role: in preventing excessive water during the grape's ripening, it helps to obtain grapes that not burst, a necessity for a good overripening of the grape.
Dessèchement de la rafle et teneur en acide abscissique des pépins

Published: September 2016

Les catégories de pepins analysées sont caractérisées par une teneur particulière en acide abscissique. Ces teneurs ne varient pas d'une façon quelconque mais dans un sens bien précis : pm > ps > Gs/Pm > Gs/Ps. Il existe donc une relation entre la teneur en acide abscissique des pépins et le dessèchement de la rafle mais la maladie ne semble pas être liée à une teneur déterminée en acide abscissique des pépins.

The analysed seeds categories are characterized by a particular ABA content. These levels somehow or other do not change at random in a precise direction: pm > ps > Gs/Pm > Gs/Ps. There is a relation between seeds ABA content and Stiellähme but the disease does not seem to be associated with a particular level of ABA in the seeds.
Etude de la phase préfermentaire de la vinification: extraction et formation de certains composés de l'arôme; cas des terpenols, des aldehydes et des alcools en C6 *
Authors: Cordonnier Robert , Bayonove Claude L.
Published: September 2016

En vinification en blanc, le pressurage s'accompagne d'un enrichissement des jus en composés de l'arôme. Parmi eux il convient de distinguer ceux qui, comme les terpénols existant déjà dans la baie, sont simplement extraits et ceux qui, comme les aldéhydes et alcools en C6, se forment au cours des différentes manipulations du raisin.

La teneur des jus en ces composés dépend des traitements subis par la vendange et des conditions dans lesquelles ces traitements sont réalisés.

La localisation des arômes dans la baie et l'équipement enzymatique de celle-ci sont responsables des effets observés.

+++

During white wine vinification, the juices are enriched in aromatic compounds as the grapes are pressed. We differentiate between the compounds like the terpenols that already exist in the grape and are simply extracted, and those which, like the aldehydes and alcohols in C6 are formed during the grapes treatment.

The content of these compounds in the juice depends on the type of treatment and the conditions under which treatments are carried out on a harvest.

The position of aromatic compounds in the grape and the grapes enzimatic structure are responsible for the observed effects.

Caractérisation de quelques composantes du potentiel chlorosant des différents milieux carbonates dans le vignoble du Val de Loire
Authors: Morlat René , Courbe C. , Robichet Jacqueline , Venin Gérard
Published: September 2016

Dans le vignoble de la Moyenne Vallée de la Loire, une grande partie des sols carbonatés est représentée par deux importants faciès lithologiques crayeux : les craies limono-argileuses à pouvoir chlorosant élevé, et les craies sablo-glauconieuses micacées à faible pouvoir chlorosant. Nous avons effectué plusieurs déterminations analytiques (pH eau, calcaire total, calcaire actif, fer extractible) qui sont souvent considérées comme facteurs explicatifs du pouvoir chlorosant d'un milieu calcaire. Les extractifs du fer les plus discriminants sont l'oxalate d'ammonium et l'EDTA. L'EDTA semble caractériser le mieux la fourniture en fer à la vigne dans les conditions des sols et substrats crayeux analysés.

+++

ln the vineyard of the middle Loire Valley a large part of the carbonaceous soils are represented by two important lithological chalk features : clay-loam chalks with a high capacity to provoke plant chlorosis and micaceous sand glauconite chalks with a limited capacity to provoke chlorosis. We have undertaken analytical studies of water pH, total carbonate, active carbonate, and extractable iron; these elements are often considered factors which explain the capacity of a soil to provoke chlorosis. The most discriminating extractors of iron are ammonium oxalate and E.D.T.A. ED.T.A. seems best to characterize the quantity of iron available to the wine under the conditions of the soil and chalk substrata analysed.

Discrete Biochemistry of DNA: Arithmetic DNA Molecules for Binary Additions, Naturally Found Genetic Logic Circuits for Plant Sensing, and DNA-Based Animation
Authors: Kikuchi Asuka ,   The University of Kitakyushu, Kawano Tomonori
Published: September 2016

To date, a number of researchers are seeking for and/or designing novel molecules which function as arithmetic molecular engines. Biomolecules such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins are examples of promising candidate molecules. In the present article, we showed our view that DNA-based molecules could be used as a novel class of platforms for discrete mathematical operations or tools for natural computation. Here, we report on a novel molecular logic circuit combining exclusive disjunction (XOR) gate and conjunction (AND) gate implemented on a single DNA molecule performing arithmetic operations with simple binary numbers through polymerase chain reactions (PCR); which was inspired by previously developed protein-based computing model allowing simple polynomial algebra over fields through algebraic representation of cyclic inter-conversions in the catalytic modes of a plant enzyme as a cyclic additive group. In addition, we showed that DNA can be used as the platform for image coding and processing leading to DNA-coded animation by using novel PCR-based protocols. Lastly, we discussed the significance of recent attempts in the stream of natural computing and synthetic biological research, by handling DNA and related biomolecules as the media for discrete mathematical operations.
A System for the Comprehensive Quantification of Real-Time Heartbeat Activity
Authors: Wen Wanhui ,   School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Southwest China University, Zeng Jian , Hu Guohui , Liu Guangyuan
Published: September 2016

Heartbeat can reflect the dynamics of the heart control system, and it is also a commonly used index in health monitoring, exercise load calculation and psycho-physiological arousal quantification. This paper fuses three heartbeat measures, i.e. the running mean, the range of local Hurst exponents and the relative fluctuation, to construct a system that can automatically quantify the heartbeat activity both from its static aspect and from its dynamic aspect in a real-time manner. Experiments show that the system can reveal the heartbeat arousal difference between physically relaxed status and exercise-loaded status. When the affective heartbeat data in literature are quantified by this system, the results also show the capability of the system to illustrate psycho-physiological arousal.

This manuscript describes a robot interaction for the driving assistance system of an Ultra-Compact Electric Vehicle (UCEV). Fun-to-drive and safety are important for improving the commercial value of UCEV. To improve fun-to-drive and safety, the improvement of the driving skills is important. However, the driving assistance system of an ordinary vehicle only considers the objective driving evaluation. Therefore, we propose an interactive driving assistance system that considers the relation between the subjective as well as the objective driving evaluation. Furthermore, we install a communicating robot within a UCEV to interact with human beings in real time. As a first step, we propose a driving evaluation system by applying a simplified fuzzy inference, and an interaction timing estimation method by applying a spiking neural network. Through an off-line simulation experiment, we verify the effectiveness of our proposal that is able to generate a robot utterances content as well as estimate reasonable timing.

L’ECRITURE DU FÉMININ ET LE MANQUE FONDAMENTAL
Authors: Do Carmo Silva Leonardo Alexander
Published: September 2016

Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein, de Marguerite Duras, et A Paixão Segundo G.H., de Clarice Lispector, sont apparemment des romans très différents, mais ils nous permettent de réfléchir sur la question du féminin et plus précisément, sur l’écriture du féminin. Chaque récit est construit autour d'un événement majeur, un moment de basculement pour les personnages féminins. Pour Lol V. Stein, il s'agit du « rapt » de son fiancé par Anne-Marie Stretter, le soir du bal à T. Beach. Pour G.H., c’est la vision d'un cafard dans la chambre de bonne qui entraîne une véritable aventure existentialiste. Ces deux événements ont des conséquences dévastatrices pour les deux personnages. Ses parcours se caractérisent par une perte ou une dissolution de l’identité. Le féminin, dans les romans, est associé à un manque fondamental.

Nos Estudos da Tradução, o contraste entre textos de partida (TPs) e de chegada (TCs) apresenta-se como campo profícuo para análises descritivas e pode constituir-se como material tangível para o ensino de tradução. Nesse sentido, contextos modelam a relação que se estabelece entre TPs/TCs, revelando marcas que, por meio da explanação, podem converter-se em apoio para os tradutores em formação. Sendo assim, objetivamos: 1) comparar usos mais frequentes no corpus constituído pela obra The Chronicles of Narnia: The magician’s nephew, de C. S. Lewis, e pelas respectivas traduções para as línguas portuguesa e espanhola; e 2) ordenar os dados de modo a serem utilizados por estudantes. Verificamos as escolhas recorrentes com o instrumental dos Estudos da Tradução Baseados em Corpus (BAKER, 1999, 2000; CAMARGO, 2005). Tencionamos associar tais premissas à Pedagogia da Tradução (ALVES, MAGALHAES, PAGANO, 2000, 2005), voltando-nos para uma exploração didática. A extração dos dados foi realizada com o programa WordSmith Tools, permitindo notar  aproximações e afastamentos léxico-semânticos quanto ao TP. Tais resultados, ao serem convertidos em material de ensino, podem favorecer a assimilação de um conjunto de opções passível de ser utilizado durante o processo tradutório.
Gas Well Test Analysis: Use of Normalized Pressure and Time Functions
Authors: Meunier D. F. , Kabir C. S. , Wittmann M. J.
Published: September 2016

Simultaneously measured bottomhole pressure and sandface flow rate data have been used to study the transient behaviour of oil wells. Recent studies show that improved estimates of reservoir permeability - thickness product (kh) and skin (s) result when two independent measurements - pressure and rate - are available. Additionally, identification of the reservoir flow model (pD − tD function) is possible by deconvolving the early-time after-flow-dominated data.

Clearly, convolution of rate-pressure-time data provides more reliable results than conventional methods using the pressure-time data alone. This study extends the use of the technique to gas well testing.

This paper introduces a new pressure function, and addresses two aspects of gas well-test analysis: (1) convolution of simultaneously measured pressure and sandface rate data, and (2) prediction of stabilized deliverability from a flow-after-flow test.

The new pressure function results from a normalization of the pseudopressure and has the dimension of a pressure. It offers several advantages, for instance, gas flow in a porous medium can be described by an equivalent ‘oil equation’ which retains the units of pressure, i.e. psi or kPa. Examples of variable rate tests demonstrate the application of the proposed pressure function. Results thus obtained compare favourably with those calculated by using the Al-Hussainy-Ramey pseudo-pressure function.

A new time function, resulting from the normalization of Agarwal's pseudotime is also proposed.

Transient flow-after-flow tests are analyzed to obtain the stabilized deliverability. Estimation of stabilized deliverability is possible by evaluating the constants of Forchheimer's equation from the test data, with an assumed reservoir radius. We show that the absolute open flow potential (AOFP) is not sensitive to the reservoir radius. This observation implies that the duration of deliverability test could be significantly reduced. Theoretical validity of transient flow-after-flow test is also established in this work.
3D Geomechanical Modeling of Salt-Creep Behavior on Wellbore Casing for Presalt Reservoirs
Authors: Wang HanYi , Samuel Robello
Published: September 2016

Exploration drilling is venturing into deeper regions of water. During the exploration of these deeper water depths, large hydrocarbon deposits have been found below salt formations. These reservoirs are called “presalts,” which are below the salt formations. Presalt reservoirs have been found in offshore Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), West Africa, and the North Sea. Completions in salt formations can be difficult because of the creep behavior that the salt formations exhibit. Creep behavior results from the instability of the salt formation, which causes a slow flow and permanent deformations. Creep deformation occurs over time and begins once the salt formation has been penetrated. Completion of the wellbore does not stop formation creep. The constant creep of the salt formation causes excess stress on the wellbore casing, which may eventually cause the casing to collapse. In this study, a 3D geomechanical model is developed, by use of data such as wellbore pressure and temperature; formation stress and temperature; rock, cement, and casing properties, to predict the effects of salt-creep behavior on stress loading in the wellbore casing, which helps to assess the life expectancy of wells in presalt reservoirs. The simulation results of this model can provide quantitative results of casing stress and deformation as a function of time under various temperature, in-situ-stress, and operation conditions, which can be used as useful information for subsequent wellbore-casing design and wellbore-integrity analysis. In addition, possible methods that can mitigate the severity of salt mobility and reduce the risks of casing collapse are discussed.

Drought–flood abrupt alternation (DFAA) is one of the remarkable manifestations of the summer monsoon anomaly at the subseasonal scale and can result in severe damage. This study identified and analyzed DFAA in terms of streamflow in the Poyang Lake catchment over the last 50 years based on a DFAA index (DFAAI). The study also investigated the intra-annual distribution characteristics and long-term tendencies associated with DFAA, as well as the relationship with precipitation patterns. A statistical analysis showed that drought-to-flood events in the Poyang Lake catchment generally occur in March and April, while flood-to-drought events occur in July and August. A Mann–Kendall test indicated a long-term decreasing trend in DFAAI in March and April and a slight increasing trend in July and August; however, the trends were not statistically significant. Flood-to-drought events occurred more frequently than did drought-to-flood events at the decadal scale, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. The particular distribution of precipitation in the Poyang Lake catchment mainly determined the occurrence patterns of DFAA events, but intensive human activities are also significant factors that have decreased and mitigated DFAA disasters since the 1980s in the Poyang Lake catchment.

N2O emission was studied in a continuous process via nitrite for real urban wastewater treatment. The relationship between the gaseous forms and the liquid kinetic rates of nitritation and denitritation was investigated. N2O mass load and global nitrogen mass balance were quantified. The emission factor of the N2O (gN2Oemitted/kg mixed liquor volatile suspended solids [MLVSS]/d) was calculated. Incrementing the nitritation rate permits the reduction of N2O emission by 78%. Instead, an N2O decrease of 93% was observed by increasing the denitritation velocity. The determinant role of the anoxic phase in the production of dinitrogen oxide was identified. The contribution of N2O emission from the anoxic phase (4.8 gN2O-N/kgMLVSS/d) was enhanced under limiting denitritation conditions (kd lower than 0.08 kgNOx-N/kgMLVSS/d). N2O production increased by five times with the accumulation of nitrites in the solution up to 200 mg/L. Strict correlation between free ammonia concentration and nitritation rate was found as a possible signal of further ammonia oxidizing bacteria selection.
Assessing Health Related Quality of Life in Persons with Diabetes: A Comparison of Generic Measures
Authors: Hinyard Leslie J. , Geremakis Caroline M.
Published: September 2016

Background:

Generic measures of Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) are commonly used to assess HRQoL in diabetic populations; however, it is unclear which generic instrument is best suited for assessing HRQoL in a population of patients with diabetes.

Objective:

To evaluate the differences in estimated HRQoL in a population-based sample of individuals with diabetes and within levels of diabetes severity across generic measures of HRQoL.

Methods:

Subjects were identified from the National Health Measurement Study (NHMS). Diabetes severity was defined as no diabetes, diabetes without insulin, and diabetes with use of insulin. Unadjusted and adjusted mean differences between the diabetes severity groups were estimated for 11 generic HRQoL measures. Unadjusted and adjusted mean differences between diabetes severity groups were estimated. Effect sizes were calculated to estimate standardized group differences.

Results:

Across all measures, persons on insulin demonstrated lower HRQoL scores compared to those not taking insulin. The HALex was tha only measure that identified a significant difference in HRQoL scores between persons with diabetes without insulin management and those taking insulin in adjusted models. The HALex demonstrated the largest effect size for all severity group comparisons.

Conclusion:

Across all HRQoL measures the largest differences were seen between persons with diabetes taking insulin and persons without diabetes. The HALex was the only measure that when controlling for both demographic characteristics and comorbid conditions demonstrated a significant difference between diabetes with and without insulin management indicating potential usefulness for researchers interested in examining differences in cross-sectional samples of persons with diabetes.
Hyperuricemia is Associated with Musculo-skeletal Pain - Results from a Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Comberg Hans-Ulrich , Schach Siegfried
Published: September 2016

Background:

The use of urate lowering therapy in patients without gouty arthritis and slightly elevated uric acid levels (so called “asymptomatic” hyperuricemia) is still under debate.

Introduction/Objectives:

This study explores whether slightly elevated urate levels are associated with musculo-skeletal pain.

Method:

This cross-sectional study was conducted in a single German center. Generally healthy subjects (including patients with controlled mild hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and/or not insulin dependent type 2 diabetes) aged 20-75 years presenting for their annual routine check-up were invited to participate. Documented parameters included a full blood count, blood pressure, weight, height, prescribed medication, purine and alcohol intake, and pain assessment during the two preceding years.

The sample size was determined by the requirement that in comparing major groups (such as men vs. women, hyperuricemia vs. normal uric levels) a difference between these groups in an attribute (such as joint pain) should be discovered with a probability of at least 90 percent.

Results:

In total, 600 patients (54.7%) male, (55.2% ± 13 7 years) were included in the survey. Urate levels were closely correlated to the number of patients complaining about joint pain (r=0.978). Higher urate levels were associated with a higher percentage of patients with joint pain. There was a marked increase in the percentage of patients experiencing joint pain from urate level 5 (30.8%) to 5.5 (60.9%). Lumbar spine, cervical spine, shoulder, and knee were the most common locations for joint pain. Multivariate analysis indicated weight, purine intake, alcohol consumption, administration of diuretics, creatinine, and triglycerides as factors with significant impact on the urate level. Of all tested variables, only serum urate had a significant impact on joint pain (OR 1.996; 95% CI 1.626-2.451; p<0.0001). A significant correlation between pain in various joints and urate levels was found for all most commonly affected regions.

Conclusion:

In this population of generally healthy subjects presenting for their annual routine check-up, results indicate the possibility of a significant impact of urate levels on joint pain.
Atención de personas mayores con demencia a través del modelo de atención centrada en la persona en centros residenciales
Authors: Sahagún Navarro Marta
Published: September 2016

En el presente estudio nos centraremos en la atención de las personas mayores con demencia, concretamente en trece, institucionalizadas en residencias a largo plazo. A través de la utilización de la escala de observación sistemática denominada Dementia-Care Mapping (Bradford Dementia Group, 1997; 2005, citado en Brooker & Surr, 2009) se pretende conocer el contexto en el que se desenvuelven con el fin de facilitar datos concretos al equipo profesional que vela por su atención. El objetivo que se persigue es estudiar cómo mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas mayores con demencia, mediante una atención centrada en la persona, puesto que dada la alteración en la comunicación y su alto nivel    de dependencia, entre otros procesos, a menudo impide que se establezcan los apoyos adecuados. Los resultados más relevantes apuntan a una falta de implicación de los participantes con el entorno, lo cual indica una insuficiencia de estímulos que generen estados de bienestar en los usuarios del centro.
Modificación en la composición corporal en mujeres tras la ingesta de una dieta vlcd (very low calory diet) durante la fase activa de un programa de pérdida de peso
Authors: Antón San Atanasio Sandra
Published: September 2016

Uno de los problemas relacionados con la salud presente en nuestras sociedades occidentales es el sobrepeso y la obesidad, para lo cual existen diferentes tipos de dietas y programas de pérdida de peso. Entre ellos, Se ha descrito el uso de dietas de muy bajo valor calórico (VLCD, Very Low Calory Diet) como método eficaz para disminuir el peso graso manteniendo la masa magra de una forma segura, fácil de aplicar, rápida, sin recaídas y económicamente accesible. El objetivo de este trabajo fue observar los cambios experimentados en la composición corporal de un grupo de 20 mujeres sometidas a una dieta VLCD durante las fases iniciales del programa, denominada fase activa. Todos los sujetos siguieron     las mismas pautas de dieta, fragmentando la fase activa analizada en tres subfases, en las cuales la reducción del aporte de grasas y carbohidratos en la dieta es máxima, manteniendo a su vez una ingesta adecuada de proteínas de alto valor biológico. Los datos antropométricos y de composición corporal fueron recogidos al inicio del programa y al finalizar cada una de las fases. El seguimiento de este tipo de dieta (VLCD) en nuestra muestra condujo a una reducción de peso, siendo evidente su disminución del IMC, así como una disminución del peso graso y su porcentaje, asociado a un menor perímetro de cadera y cintura. La masa magra se vio disminuida; sin embargo, su porcentaje aumentó. Todos los parámetros anteriormente citados resultaron ser significativos a lo largo de todo el estudio. En este sentido podemos decir que la dieta VLCD es un método eficaz para población cuyo objetivo sea la pérdida de peso relacionado con la masa grasa, y donde la masa magra se vea afectada  ligeramente.
