Authors: Souza Rodrigo Gutierrez de , Sousa Camila Maciel de
Published: August 2018

A criptococose é uma doença infecciosa fúngica potencialmente fatal, cosmopolita, que acomete mamíferos domésticos, principalmente o gato e o cão, animais silvestres e o homem, sendo também conhecida como torulose ou blastomicose européia. O agente etiológico é o Cryptococcus neoformans. C. neoformans no ambiente é principalmente encontrado em excretas de aves, especialmente de pombos, e o ecossistema urbano tem se tornado propício para permanência destas aves. Aliado a este fato, a população de pombos domésticos tem aumentado significativamente em diversas partes do mundo, inclusive no Brasil, tornando-se um problema ambiental e de saúde pública. Cryptococcus neoformans é um fungo leveduriforme encapsulado, que causa infecções principalmente em indivíduos imunocomprometidos. A criptococose é atualmente considerada uma importante doença oportunista com significativa taxa de morbidade e mortalidade entre os pacientes soropositivos. Mediante esse fato o trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a incidência de C. neoformans em fezes de pombos na área central do município de Porto Velho. Foram visitados 10 locais na região central de Porto Velho, sendo estes locais praças, mercados e igreja. As coletas das amostras foram realizadas com ao auxílio de espátulas. As fezes secas foram armazenadas em coletores estéreis. As excretas dos pombos foram maceradas em graal com pistilo até adquirir um aspecto homogêneo. Aproximadamente um grama do material foi colocado em frascos de Erlemmeyer adicionados de solução fisiológica. Após agitação em vortex o sobrenadante semeado foi colocado em tubos contendo meio com Ágar Sabouraud Dextrose acrescido de cloranfenicol, depois de incubado por sete dias procedeu-se com a identificação da micromorfologia da colônia e a prova da urease. Dos 10 locais verificados os resultados evidenciaram que temos um percentual de 30% dos locais com presença de excretas e que essas amostras foram confirmadas contendo C. Neoformans.

Published: August 2018

The article discusses the use of solar batteries as an alternative source of energy in marine power plants, as effective replacement of conventional sails with "solar sails" with semiconductor elements. There have been identified main advantages and disadvantages of three main types of solar batteries: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphic. There has been given the characteristics of the actual value of the factual insolation (irradiation of the surface by a parallel beam of light coming from the direction where the center of the solar disk is visible at a given time) in calculating hybrid solar energy systems, which, if the criteria are clearly defined, can significantly increase the efficiency of their use. The analysis of the application of solar batteries on sea vessels is carried out, taking into account the geographic component and the number of light days. The article also determines the possibility of using solar batteries for various types of sea transport (cargo and passenger ships, yachts, ferries and others).
FORECASTING PROCESSES OF MARITIME PASSENGER TERMINAL IN THE CLASS OF POLYNOMIAL MODELS
Authors: Maiorov Nikolaj Nikolaevich
Published: August 2018

Modern marine passenger terminals represent complex technical systems depending on the intensity of ship calls, passenger traffic, and influence of the environment and correct organization of internal processes. To achieve the sustainable development of the terminal it is necessary to take into account the multicriterion nature, which requires solving the task of identifying the processes, highlighting the key parameters and analyzing the status of the terminal. In the course of investigating the processes the primary issues become the discrete nature of the initial data, schedules of calls, time-tables. The process of steady operation of the terminal can be shown as a sequence of several operation modes taken in certain time moments, each being described by a certain set of port characteristics. Thus, the state of the system can be analyzed according to a set of selected parameters and the conditions for achieving the desired functioning can be evaluated. But, with this approach, it is rather problematic to solve the problem of forecasting, since the terminal infrastructure must cope with new challenges: increasing the size of the passenger liners and changing the route networks based on changing priorities of passengers. The number of local problems can be solved on the basis of models of queuing systems, but the greatest interest is to obtain the models in analytical form. To increase the efficiency of control over passenger flow and working processes on cruise ships and ferries there appears the need to create a complex of polynomial models. The object of the survey is a joint-stock company “Passenger Port of Saint Petersburg “Marine Facade”. Based on the states of the system characterized by the intensity of ship calls for the past periods, the tasks of constructing the analytical forecast function, of identifying the processes have been solved, as well as there has been defined the predicted number of ship calls to the port for the nearest navigation. The obtained results allow improving the quality of decision making on substantiating the modernization of the port infrastructure, solving the problem of forecasting the development of the terminal in order to meet the new challenges of the sea passenger transportation market.
Es hora de actuar. La legitimidad del poder de las celebridades en el ámbito de las Relaciones Internacionales.
Authors: Partzsch Lena
Published: August 2018

Las celebridades son capaces de movilizar un sinnúmero de personas por todo el mundo. En su discurso de aceptación del premio Oscar, Leonardo DiCaprio conminó a su público internacional a trabajar juntos para combatir el cambio climático. Otro ejemplo del activismo de las celebridades son las campañas de Daryl Hannah a favor de los biocombustibles, por una parte, y en contra del oleoducto Keystone xl, por otra. Este artículo analiza la legitimidad del poder de sendas celebridades en el ámbito de las Relaciones Internacionales a la luz de tres criterios, a saber: influencia política, amplia participación, control y rendición de cuentas. Aunque las demandas de las celebridades sigan siendo imprecisas y no prosperen en el Concierto de las Naciones, el poder de éstas puede legitimarse, sin duda, por medio de su influencia política.
La estatalidad del deporte internacional. Pasado, presente, ¿futuro?

La organización y expansión del deporte internacional durante el siglo xx se ancló principalmente a la implicación político-económica de los Estados, motivada por su representación en las competiciones deportivas por intermediación de las Federaciones Deportivas Nacionales y Comités Olímpicos Nacionales. Sin embargo, la conflictividad político-deportiva de la Guerra Fría, el cuestionamiento del papel hegemónico del Estado como centro de las Relaciones Internacionales y la propia crisis de los actos deportivos magnos ha propiciado que en la actualidad se esté socavando la centralidad del Estado en el deporte internacional.

Published: August 2018

Olive leaves have been catching consumers‘ and researchers‘ great interest because of benefits on human health. In this study, the olive leaves were dried by microwave method at different powers (52, 90, 167, 290, 347 W real effective power levels) and drying kinetics of olive leaves were examined to find the best mathematical model. Page model was the most suitable model rather than the others. Diffusion coefficients were ranged between 2.65×10-10 to 6.87×10-10 m2/s and an increment in power level promoted moisture diffusivities. Dried olive leaves were used to get leave tea and different infusion temperatures were investigated to recover the total polyphenols (mg GAE/kg) and radical scavenging activities (%). Rising in infusion temperature, especially at 100Â°C enhanced the extraction levels of polyphenols from leave tea. Olive leaves dried at 167 W had higher phenolic contents (2282.9 mg GAE/kg) among all samples.

As TICs mostraram-se incorporadas com nuances variadas na integração ensino-serviço, com diferenças de aplicabilidade de acordo com a função exercida pelo docente nos estágios.
A Bayesian Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Location Scale Model for Learning
Authors: Williams Donald Ray , Rast Philippe
Published: August 2018

We present a Bayesian nonlinear mixed-effects location scale model (NL-MELSM). The NL-MELSM allows for fitting nonlinear functions to the location, or individual means, and the scale, or within-person variance. Specifically, in the context of learning, this model allows the within-person variance to follow a nonlinear trajectory, where it can be determined whether variability reduces while in the process learning. It incorporates a sub-model that can predictnonlinear parameters for the location and/or scale. This specification estimates random effects for all nonlinear location and scale parameters that are drawn from a common multivariate distribution. This allows estimation of covariances among the random effects, within and across the location and the scale. These covariances offer new insights into the interplay between individual mean structures and intra-individual variability in nonlinear parameters. We take a fully Bayesian approach, not only for ease of estimation, but also because it provides the necessaryand consistent information for use in psychological applications, such as model selection and hypothesis testing. To illustrate the model, we use data from 333 individuals, consisting of three age groups, who participated in five learning trials that assessed verbal memory. In an exploratory context we demonstrate that fitting a nonlinear function to the within-person variance, and allowing for individual variation therein, improves predictive accuracy compared to customary modeling techniques (e.g., assuming constant variance). We conclude by discussingthe usefulness, limitations, and future directions of the NL-MELSM.

Greater lifestyle engagement is associated with better cognitive resilience
Authors: Borgeest Gesa Sophia , Henson Richard , Shafto Meredith , Samu David , Cam-CAN  , Kievit Rogier
Published: August 2018

AbstractPrevious evidence suggests that modifiable lifestyle factors, such as engagement in leisure activities, might slow the age-related decline of cognitive functions. Less is known, however, about which aspects of lifestyle might be particularly beneficial to healthy cognitive ageing, and whether they are associated with distinct cognitive domains (e.g. fluid and crystallized abilities) differentially. We investigated these questions in the cross-sectional Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) data (N=708, age 18-88), using data-driven exploratory structural equation modelling, confirmatory factor analyses, and age-residualized measures of cognitive differences across the lifespan. Specifically, we assessed the relative associations of the following five lifestyle factors on age-related differences of fluid and crystallized resilience: education/SES, physical health, mental health, social engagement, and intellectual engagement. We found that higher education, better physical and mental health, more social engagement and a greater degree of intellectual engagement were each individually correlated with better fluid and crystallized cognitive resilience. A joint path model of all lifestyle factors on crystallized and fluid resilience, which allowed a simultaneous assessment of the lifestyle domains, showed that physical health, social and intellectual engagement and education/SES explained unique, complementary variance, but mental health did not make significant contributions above and beyond the other four lifestyle factors and age. The total variance explained for fluid resilience was 14% and 16% for crystallized resilience. Our results are compatible with the hypothesis that intellectually and physically challenging as well as socially engaging activities are associated with better crystallized and fluid performance across the lifespan.  Research Highlights 1.Higher education/SES, better physical and mental health, more social engagement and a greater degree of intellectual engagement are all individually associated with better cognitive health across the lifespan. 2.When all five lifestyle factors were assessed simultaneously, we found that physical health and social as well as intellectual engagement are independently associated with individual differences in cognitive health, above and beyond the effect of education/SES. Mental health makes no additional independent contributions. 3.Education/SES, physical health, intellectual engagement and social engagement show similar patterns with crystallized and fluid cognitive resilience, suggesting that the associations between lifestyle engagement and cognition are global rather than cognitive-domain specific. 4.Age-corrected residuals as a proxy of cognitive health across the lifespan may be a useful tool for future cross-sectional studies comparing different age groups.
The physical basis of gesture-speech synchrony: Exploratory study and pre-registration
Authors: Pouw Wim , Harrison Steven A. , Dixon James A.
Published: August 2018

Hand gestures during speech move in a common rhythm, as exemplified by the synchrony between prosodic contrasts in gesture movement (e.g., peak velocity) and speech (e.g., peaks in Fundamental Frequency). This joined rhythmic activity is hypothesized to have a variable set of functions, ranging from self-serving cognitive benefits for the gesturer, to communicational advantages that support listeners’ understanding. However, gesture-speech synchrony has been invariably understood as a “neural-cognitive” achievement; i.e., gesture and speech are coupled through neural-cognitive mediation. Yet, it is possible that gesture-speech synchrony emerges out of resonating forces that travel through a common physical medium – the body. The current paper presents an exploratory study together with a pre-registration of a larger scale confirmatory study. We provide preliminary evidence that upper limb motions with greater momentum (i.e., physical impetus) affects Fundamental Frequency and the Amplitude Envelope of phonation in a way that accommodates research on gesture-speech synchrony. We speculate that anticipatory postural adjustments and related physical effects of upper limb movements on the musculoskeletal connective system could lead to changes in alveolar (lung) pressure that can impart (prosodic) contrasts in phonation. Here we pre-registered a confirmatory study to more comprehensively address this hypothesis.
Are Tearful Individuals Perceived as Less Competent? Probably Not.
Authors: Zickfeld Janis , van de Ven Niels , Schubert Thomas W. , Vingerhoets Ad
Published: August 2018

What are the social signals of emotional tears? This question has fascinated scholars ever since Darwin. Studies have suggested several interpersonal effects of emotional tears. A recent study by Van de Ven, Meijs, and Vingerhoets (2017) presented evidence in three studies that tearful individuals are perceived as warmer, but also less competent than their non-tearful counterparts. However, the competence effect was relatively small, and a recent replication failed to find such an effect in two different populations while the warmth effect was replicated (Zickfeld & Schubert, 2018). This questions the generalizability of the effect of tears on perceived competence. To test whether individuals expressing emotional tears are really perceived as less competent and what boundary conditions such an effect might have, we specified a decision tree of three different studies in which we test differences between the original reference study and the replication. We replicated previous findings of the perceived (in)competence in Study 1 (n = 531) but observed a considerably smaller nonsignificant effect when proceeding to Study 2 (n = 471), which increased the number of stimuli. The earlier and now repeated replication failure can therefore likely be attributed to an increased variation in stimulus material. We conclude that there is not enough evidence to argue that one social outcome of tears signals a relative lack of competence as the effect seems to depend on the specific stimuli used.
Introducing the leapfrog design: A simple Bayesian adaptive rolling trial design for accelerated treatment development and optimization
Authors: Blackwell Simon Edward , Woud Marcella Lydia , Margraf Jürgen , Schönbrodt Felix D.
Published: August 2018

The application of basic science research to the development and optimization of psychological treatments holds great potential. However, this process of clinical translation is challenging and time-consuming, and the standard route by which it proceeds is inefficient. Adaptive rolling designs, which originated within cancer treatment research, provide an alternative methodology with potential to accelerate development and optimization of psychological treatments. In such designs, multiple treatment options are tested simultaneously, with sequential Bayesian analyses used to remove poorly performing arms. Further, new treatment arms informed by the latest research findings can be introduced into the existing infrastructure as the trial progresses. These features drastically reduce the sample sizes needed and offer a means for more rapid and efficient clinical translation. This paper outlines the utility of such designs to clinical psychological science, focusing on a new variant termed the ‘leapfrog’ design, and discusses their potential uses to accelerate clinical translation.
Frame Variation in Child Protectionist Frames: Constructing Gay Men and Transgender Women as Strangers
Authors: Stone Amy L.
Published: August 2018

This research contributes to social movement framing theory about frame variation, along with the social problems literature on child protectionism. I extend the theorizing on frames by arguing that frame variation can be a response to new agendas and goals of countermovements and opponents. Specifically, for opponents to rights activism, frame variation can be reaction to the assertion of rights for new protagonists, specifically their entry into new spaces. This study analyzes frame variation of the most deleterious child protectionist claims about stranger danger, assertions that the presence of racial, gender, and sexual others in public spaces will harm children. This paper is a content analysis of political flyers and messages developed by Religious Right campaigns at the state and municipal level between 1974 and 2013; these campaigns framed gay men and transgender woman as threats to children in classrooms and bathrooms. For both gay men and transgender women these claims were most common at the start of rights advocacy. I argue that challengers make the most overt, deleterious arguments about harm to children when new groups initially advocate for legal rights and access to new spaces; as marginalized groups become more familiar and less “strange”, challengers make more covert claims about these groups, as stranger danger claims have waning cultural and political resonance.

‘Approaches to Sustainability’ was part of a project of the same name, and was organised as part of the programme of events for the Environmental Studies Research Network. The network intends to bridge gaps between disciplines in the field and to explore the synergies of the work taking place in different areas of the University of Warwick and beyond by creating a central hub for all the issues that surround sustainability. The intention is to allow researchers to communicate and collaborate across disciplines, to gain a broader knowledge of work related to their own. We feel that the rich diversity of research carried out at the University of Warwick can and should act as a catalyst for exciting ideas that address the complex problems of sustainability. This account shares some of the main ideas and discussion points arising from the network’s conference in June 2013.Information on the network is available at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/environnetwork/
Talking drama into being: types of talk in drama classrooms
Authors: Freebody Kelly , Freebody Kelly
Published: August 2018

This paper explores the structure of talk in drama classrooms, particularly the ways students and teachers use different kinds of talk to achieve their classroom work and construct shared moral reasoning as the basis of their practical educational activities. The data and discussion presented here bring together the curricular setting of educational drama and the methodological setting of Conversation Analysis and Membership Categorisation Analysis. The transcripts and analyses emerged from a larger study that sought to explore the particular ways students interacted within process drama lessons dealing with future life prospects and pathways.  The identification of three distinct kinds of talk has significance for education scholars, teacher-educators and teacher-practitioners as it has the potential to enable a more detailed awareness of the structure of classroom practice and the particular ways students engage with significant ideas in classroom settings.

O afixoide ‘lá’ em construções do português – perspectivização espacial e (inter)subjetificação
Authors: Oliveira Mariângela Rios de
Published: August 2018

Neste artigo, com base na Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso, nos termos de Traugott e Trousdale (2013) e Bybee (2010; 2015), entre outros, investigamos o afixoide lá como subparte de três construções instanciadas no português brasileiro: a conectora textual (lá vai, lá está), a marcadora discursiva (vamos lá, olhe lá) e a intensificadora de grau (para lá de bonita, para lá de charmoso). Defendemos que o uso de lá nos três esquemas é motivado por inferências negociadas entre os interlocutores, a partir de propriedades do locativo, atinentes ao tipo de espacialização perspectivizada, no apontamento para lugar mais distante e vago em relação aos interlocutores, e às estratégias de (inter)subjetificação articuladas.
