Published: December 2017

Este artigo apresenta algumas reflexões sobre as possibilidades da extensão universitária e educação ambiental no Brasil, a partir da discussão sobre áreas contaminadas e sua relação com o cotidiano. Para tanto, baseia-se na análise de dados e informações diversas, principalmente da Relação de Áreas Contaminadas (RAC) da Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (Cetesb), em um manual de gestão ambiental e nos materiais disponibilizados por órgãos públicos, institutos e associações. Nesse sentido, discute-se a adoção de um método cartográfico como tecnologia de informação e comunicação (TIC) para a apresentação do fenômeno, utilizando o Google Earth. Os resultados apontaram que os Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG) possibilitam o processamento dos dados, de forma a oferecer diferentes representações para o fenômeno e, por consequência, diversas abordagens. Dentre as principais considerações finais, aponta-se a tecnologia como caminho promissor no processo de informação e conscientização ambiental, auxiliando o despertar do senso de reivindicação política. Finalmente, são considerados alguns caminhos a ser seguidos na continuidade e aprimoramento desse trabalho.

Published: December 2017

Um dos problemas que está inserido diretamente na rotina da sociedade, sendo um risco ao meio ambiente e à saúde humana, são os resíduos sólidos. A Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos determinou a realização de planos de gerenciamento destes resíduos e formalizou a atividade de reciclagem. Contudo ainda se faz necessária a estimulação de sistemas integrados de gestão, como a reutilização. Dentro deste contexto, foram desenvolvidas oficinas de artes ensinando a fabricação de produtos artesanais a partir de resíduos passíveis de reaproveitamento. Até o momento foram oferecidas duas oficinas, realizadas no campus da USP Leste. Em cada oficina foram oferecidas doze aulas de quatro horas de duração. A dinâmica das aulas se deu através da discussão inicial de temas ambientais e posteriormente da confecção das peças. Os participantes frequentaram assiduamente as aulas e demonstraram dedicação e entusiasmo com as peças fabricadas. Durante as oficinas constatou-se uma conscientização e um interesse crescente dos participantes no reaproveitamento dos resíduos, bem como, uma perceptível integração dos participantes. Constatou-se ainda que o projeto auxiliou na melhoria da alto estima e de demais problemas psicológicos e emocionais relatados pelos participantes. Conclui-se que o projeto contribuiu para a sustentabilidade, meio ambiente e integração social da zona leste de São Paulo.
Communicating Knowledge to (Re)Produce It: The Motto of University Extension
Authors: Mori Rafael Cava
Published: December 2017

Este artigo procura delimitar as especificidades das atividades universitárias de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, fundamentando-se no pensamento do educador brasileiro Dermeval Saviani, e em escritos associados a sua pedagogia histórico-crítica. São relacionados a tais atividades os lemas “reproduzir o conhecimento para preservar a cultura” (ensino), “produzir o conhecimento para ampliar a cultura” (pesquisa) e “comunicar o conhecimento para (re)produzi-lo” (extensão). Com base nesses lemas, são exploradas as inter-relações entre as três atividades, destacando-se o papel bidirecional da extensão enquanto relação que busca fortalecer tanto a universidade quanto a comunidade em que está inserida, por meio da dialética entre cultura erudita e cultura popular.
O Laboratório de Ensino de Matemática on Line
Authors: Zuffi Edna Maura
Published: December 2017

Este relato traz uma experiência de construção do website do Laboratório de Ensino de Matemática, do ICMCUSP, e suas finalidades para com a formação inicial e continuada de professores dessa disciplina. Tem também o objetivo de divulgar esse laboratório entre as comunidades interna e externa à USP, dando ênfase a processos de ensino e aprendizagem através de objetos manipuláveis, baseado nas teorias de cognição corporificada (embodied cognition). A importância do uso de objetos manipuláveis para o ensino de Matemática funda-se nas ideias de diversos pesquisadores ligados a esse referencial em Educação Matemática. Nessa perspectiva, fazer, tocar, movimentar e ver são ações essenciais para o desenvolvimento do pensamento matemático, desde as fases iniciais, até o aprendizado de conceitos e processos mais avançados.

Published: December 2017

Vizualização científica é uma técnica bem conhecida para ilustrar graficamente dados obtidos de trabalho cientíco. A criação de imagens maravilhosas e sua animação combinando ciência e artes visuais inspira atenção e curiosidade em assuntos de alta complexidade. Ao longo do tempo nós desenvolvemos um modelo para estudar mecanismos de reações químicas usando visualização científica para alunos de ensino médio. A demosnstração de um experimento em tempo real  in vitro é seguida por uma discussão de como, quando e porquê átomos são rearranjados em novas moléculas dos produtos. Coloca-se assim as questões científicas e a motivação para responde-las emerge da criação de uma animação 3D baseada nas variações das superficies de densidade eletrônica dos components do Sistema indo de reagents aos produtos. As questões são apresentadas no contexto de um problema científico e não para obter uma resposta para um mecanismo expecífico. Elas emergem da fusão dos mecanismos bem estudados na literatura com os trabalhos computacionais e observações feitas nos experimentos. A animação resultante é pura magia e assuntos como cinética e termodinâmica de reações químicas são colocados para estudo de maneira gradual e simples. Um semester normal de atividades pode produzir resultados satisfatórios independentemente do conhecimento prévio destes assuntos. Adicionalmente o modelo promove o contato com alguns dos fundamentos de química quântica e com algumas técnicas básicas de modelagem molecular. Um dos objetivos alcançado pelo método é a consolidaçao de um paladar científico, uma intuição e um apreço grande pelo bom senso muito útil à vida científica. Também podemos enumerar como resultados: 1) a importância do contato com o fenômeno real, não importando sua complexidade; 2) o uso da visualização de conceitos abstratos, é sempre melhor que só a matemática; 3) não há contra-indicações.
Potencialidade do Índice de Posição Topográfica no Mapeamento Pedológico Preditivo em uma Sub-Bacia do Rio Capricórnio-PR

Published: December 2017

Os solos do noroeste do estado do Paraná apresentam grande intensidade de processos erosivos em função de suas características físico-naturais, sendo que esses processos se iniciam em Argissolos, localizados nos terços inferiores das vertentes e evoluem remontantemente em direção aos Latossolos. O Mapeamento Digital de Solos (MDS) pode auxiliar no detalhamento dos mapas pedológicos existentes, pois, a partir de atributos topográficos extraídos do Modelo Digital do Terreno (MDT), pode-se predizer a ocorrência das classes de solos. O atributo Índice de Posição Topográfica (IPT) compartimenta a vertente em porções de terços inferiores, mais próximas dos fundos de vales, e dos terços superiores, próximos dos divisores de águas. Aplicado na sub-bacia do rio Capricórnio, esse índice mostrou grande representatividade na distribuição dos solos estudados. Por tabulação cruzada, o IPT foi combinado com o atributo topográfico clinografia permitindo definir três grupos: Latossolos, nos terços superiores e médios das vertentes, com baixas declividades; Argissolos, nos terços inferiores, com declives mais acentuados; e o terceiro, que é uma transição entre os dois grupos. Pelo MDS, a distribuição dos Argissolos na bacia foi de 14,7 % do total da área. Os Latossolos se estenderam na maior parte da bacia, com 76,1 %. Já as porções com solos de transição ocuparam 9,2 %. Destaca-se, assim, a importância dos MDS, uma vez que permitem detalhar mapas menos detalhados.
Padrões de Fotolineamentos Aplicados à Análise Morfoestrutural da Bacia do Rio Mamanguape, Paraíba
Authors: Gonçalves Rhandysson Barbosa , Fonseca Drielly Naamma , Correa Antonio Carlos De Barros
Published: December 2017

A bacia do rio Mamanguape encontra-se no contexto fisiográfico da margem passiva do Nordeste Brasileiro, cuja história de evolução geomorfológica está relacionada aos eventos que se seguiram à abertura do oceano Atlântico sul. Seus relevos são caracterizados pela alternância de altos e baixos topográficos, dispostos transversalmente à linha de costa, em concordância com os lineamentos geológicos herdados das antigas estruturas regionais subjacentes, e assim estabelecendo um padrão topográfico de grábens e horsts. Este estudo procura contribuir para a identificação das formas de relevo locais e sua evolução, que também resultou na deposição de sedimentos na área ao longo do neógeno, assim como auxiliar na compreensão de como esses depósitos sofreram reajustes superficiais em resposta às influências neotectônicas. Os fotolineamentos foram identificados com base na extração das estruturas lineares a partir do relevo sombreado de modelos digitais de elevação construídos a partir dos dados SRTM. Baseado nos resultados cartográficos, foi possível identificar que ao Norte da bacia as morfoestruturas se apresentam basculadas de forma concordante com as direções SW-NE e WSW-ENE, que representam os trends das principais zonas de cisalhamento e plutons da área. Tais direções também exercem controle sobre a rede de drenagem. Nos setores intermediários e baixos da bacia os lineamentos exibem direção E-W como resultado da sobreimposição do trend regional sobre o relevo, como também das fases de reativação que se seguiram ao rift continental.  Esses pulsos de rejuvenescimento também controlam o caráter assimétrico da bacia assim como o basculamento do relevo em direção à linha de costa.
Caracterização Geoambiental e Compartimentação Geomorfológica da Serra do Quincuncá e Entorno, Nordeste do Brasil
Authors: Cordeiro Abner Monteiro Nunes , Bastos Frederico De Holanda , Maia Rubson Pinheiro
Published: December 2017

O conhecimento do quadro natural da Serra do Quincuncá, localizada no semiárido brasileiro, foi desenvolvido com a preocupação de contribuir no entendimento da sua compartimentação geomorfológica. No entanto, o caráter integrativo da pesquisa geomorfológica fornece importantes subsídios ao conhecimento da realidade espacial, contribuindo no planejamento ambiental no sentido de encontrar alternativas para melhorar a qualidade de vida das populações locais. O mapeamento das unidades geomorfológicas foi realizado com base em fotointerpretações da textura e rugosidade de conjuntos de formas de relevo que estão associados às principais estruturas geológicas regionais a partir de diversos sensores remotos, imagens do satélite SPOT5 e Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE). A caracterização do quadro natural foi elaborada a partir de trabalhos de campo entre 2014 e 2016, e interpretação de cartas temáticas em escalas diversas. Foram identificadas duas unidades morfoestruturais (superfícies elevadas e rebaixadas), sendo individualizadas em superfícies morfoesculturais distintas (superfícies de erosão dissecadas em cristas e colinas, superfície aplainada, superfícies tabulares sustentadas por lateritas e superfícies de deposição recente), todas estas esculpidas sob diferentes agentes modeladores exógenos

Background and Purpose—

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been shown to increase both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke risks, but there are limited data on the safety and outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis with tPA (tissue-type plasminogen activator) for acute ischemic stroke in HIV-infected patients.

Methods—

A retrospective chart review of intravenous tPA-treated HIV patients who presented with acute stroke symptoms was performed in 7 large inner-city US academic centers (various search years between 2000 and 2017). We collected data on HIV, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, ischemic stroke risk factors, opportunistic infections, intravenous drug abuse, neuroimaging findings, and modified Rankin Scale score at last follow-up.

Results—

We identified 33 HIV-infected patients treated with intravenous tPA (mean age, 51 years; 24 men), 10 of whom were stroke mimics. Sixteen of 33 (48%) patients had an HIV viral load less than the limit of detection while 10 of 33 (30%) had a CD4 count <200/mm
3
. The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at presentation was 9, and mean time from symptom onset to tPA was 144 minutes (median, 159). The median modified Rankin Scale score for the 33-patient cohort was 1 and for the 23-patient actual stroke cohort was 2, measured at a median of 90 days poststroke symptom onset. Two patients had nonfatal hemorrhagic transformation (6%; 95% confidence interval, 1%–20%), both in the actual stroke group. Two patients had varicella zoster virus vasculitis of the central nervous system, 1 had meningovascular syphilis, and 7 other patients were actively using intravenous drugs (3 cocaine, 1 heroin, and 3 unspecified), none of whom had hemorrhagic transformation.

Conclusions—

Most HIV-infected patients treated with intravenous tPA for presumed and actual acute ischemic stroke had no complications, and we observed no fatalities. Stroke mimics were common, and thrombolysis seems safe in this group. We found no data to suggest an increased risk of intravenous tPA-related complications because of concomitant opportunistic infections or intravenous drug abuse.
The Paradox of Civil Society
Authors: Al Qurtuby Sumanto
Published: December 2017

This article discusses the ambiguous role of religiously-marked civil society organisations during the Christian-Muslim communal violence in Maluku, eastern Indonesia, from approximately 1999 to 2004. During the Maluku violence, some social groups supported peace and reconciliation, while others were major backers for the collective conflict. Using Maluku as the primary case study, this article aims to re-examine a well-established Western concept of civil society that puts emphasis on three key features, as follows. First, the concept focuses on the constructive role of civil society, while ignoring its destructive contribution in society. Second, the concept focuses on formal organisations, while neglecting informal associations, networks and neighbourhoods. And third, the concept excludes the contributions of government and state institutions in the shape—and influence of—civil society organisations. The article also examines the growing theme on “alternative forms” of civil society. It studies the plurality of civil societies and investigates that form of civil society association that might help contribute to civic coexistence and which type that encourages social conflict.
Continuity and Change among the Koras of Bindukata
Authors: Makal Arun , Banerjee Abhradip , Polley Krishnendu , Das Bhubon Mohan
Published: December 2017

The Kora is a small tribal group who are mostly found in eastern part of India. Like many other ethnic groups, the Kora had their own distinct culture, customs, rituals and religion. However, in comparison to other major tribal groups in West Bengal, the Kora as a group to date have recevied relatively little research attention. In this article, we reappraise our experience and observation on the social-cultural life of the Kora people of Paschim Medinipur district, which we collected as part of anthropology undergraduate fieldwork in the year 2002. Through an ethnographic re-analysis method, we try to provide a fair glimpse regarding the process where the Kora, as group, is adopting certain Hindu traits. We also look to find the probable reasons that hold the key to understanding the source of continuity and change in Kora communities at large.
Stelae, Elephants, and Irony: The Battle of Raphia and Its Import as Historical Context for 3 Maccabees
Authors: O’Kernick Patrick J.
Published: December 2017

The opening verses of 3 Maccabees set the story in the aftermath of the Battle of Raphia (217bce); the significance of this historical setting has been overlooked. The Battle of Raphia is intimately related to the narrative at large in at least three ways. First, 3 Maccabees advocates for a counter-tradition to a stele tradition that arises out of Ptolemy’s victory at Raphia. Second, the story reworks the famous incident of Ptolemy’s elephant retreat at Raphia into a tale of praise for the God of the Jews. And finally, the book is invested with the irony already present in the historical realities of Ptolemy’s short-lived victory.
Banning Greek: A Rabbinic History
Authors: Tropper Amram
Published: December 2017

A handful of rabbinic texts famously oppose things Greek but the force, object, scope, rationale, and alleged origins of the opposition vary from text to text. Although these texts often clash with one another, they also share kindred ideas and rare wording. Making sense of the sources’ similarities and differences poses the central challenge in tracing the history of the rabbinic opposition to Greek. If we harmonize sources, we risk minimizing their differences and if we isolate sources, we risk sidelining their similarities. In light of the drawbacks of the harmonizing and isolating approaches, I hope to decipher the relationship between the sources, acknowledging both similarities and differences, by viewing them developmentally. Once we recognize that rabbinic texts opposed to Greek belong to a shared literary trajectory, their similarities attest to a common literary tradition while their differences embody modifications and additions introduced over the course of time.
Electronic monitoring of adherence to inhaled corticosteroids: an essential tool in identifying severe asthma in children

Published: December 2017

International guidelines recommend that severe asthma can only be diagnosed after contributory factors, including adherence, have been addressed. Accurate assessment of adherence is difficult in clinical practice. We hypothesised that electronic monitoring in children would identify nonadherence, thus delineating the small number with true severe asthma.

Asthmatic children already prescribed inhaled corticosteroids were prospectively recruited and persistence of adherence assessed using electronic monitoring devices. Spirometry, airway inflammation and asthma control were measured at the start and end of the monitoring period.

93 children (62 male; median age 12.4 years) were monitored for a median of 92 days. Median (range) monitored adherence was 74% (21–99%). We identified four groups: 1) good adherence during monitoring with improved control, 24% (likely previous poor adherence); 2) good adherence with poor control, 18% (severe therapy-resistant asthma); 3) poor adherence with good control, 26% (likely overtreated); and 4) poor adherence with poor control, 32%. No clinical parameter prior to monitoring distinguished these groups.

Electronic monitoring is a useful tool for identifying children in whom a step up in treatment is indicated. Different approaches are needed in those who are controlled when adherent or who are nonadherent. Electronic monitoring is essential in a paediatric severe asthma clinic.

Published: December 2017

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is predominantly caused by asbestos exposure and has a poor prognosis. Breath contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and can be explored as an early detection tool. Previously, we used multicapillary column/ion mobility spectrometry (MCC/IMS) to discriminate between patients with MPM and asymptomatic high-risk persons with a high rate of accuracy. Here, we aim to validate these findings in different control groups.

Breath and background samples were obtained from 52 patients with MPM, 52 healthy controls without asbestos exposure (HC), 59 asymptomatic former asbestos workers (AEx), 41 patients with benign asbestos-related diseases (ARD), 70 patients with benign non-asbestos-related lung diseases (BLD) and 56 patients with lung cancer (LC).

After background correction, logistic lasso regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the MPM group was discriminated from the HC, AEx, ARD, BLD and LC groups with 65%, 88%, 82%, 80% and 72% accuracy, respectively. Combining AEx and ARD patients resulted in 94% sensitivity and 96% negative predictive value (NPV). The most important VOCs selected were P1, P3, P7, P9, P21 and P26.

We discriminated MPM patients from at-risk subjects with great accuracy. The high sensitivity and NPV allow breath analysis to be used as a screening tool for ruling out MPM.

A quarter of patients with clinical N1 (cN1) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging have occult mediastinal nodal involvement (N2 disease). In a prospective study, endosonography alone had an unsatisfactory sensitivity (38%) in detecting N2 disease. The current prospective multicentre trial investigated the sensitivity of preoperative mediastinal staging by video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) or VAM-lymphadenectomy (VAMLA).

Consecutive patients with operable and resectable (suspected) NSCLC and cN1 after PET-CT imaging underwent VAM(LA). The primary study outcome was sensitivity to detect N2 disease. Secondary endpoints were the prevalence of N2 disease, negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of VAM(LA).

Out of 105 patients with cN1 on imaging, 26% eventually developed N2 disease. Invasive mediastinal staging with VAM(LA) had a sensitivity of 73% to detect N2 disease. The NPV was 92% and accuracy 93%. Median number of assessed lymph node stations during VAM(LA) was 4 (IQR 3–5), and in 96%, at least three stations were assessed.

VAM(LA) has a satisfactory sensitivity of 73% to detect mediastinal nodal disease in cN1 lung cancer, and could be the technique of choice for pre-resection mediastinal lymph node assessment in this patient group with a one in four chance of occult-positive mediastinal nodes after negative PET-CT.
The maximum contraceptive prevalence ‘demand curve’: guiding discussions on programmatic investments
Authors: Weinberger Michelle , Sonneveldt Emily , Stover John
Published: December 2017

Most frameworks for family planning include both access and demand interventions. Understanding how these two are linked and when each should be prioritized is difficult. The maximum contraceptive prevalence ‘demand curve’ was created based on a relationship between the modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR) and mean ideal number of children to allow for a quantitative assessment of the balance between access and demand interventions. The curve represents the maximum mCPR that is likely to be seen given fertility intentions and related norms and constructs that influence contraceptive use. The gap between a country’s mCPR and this maximum is referred to as the ‘potential use gap.’ This concept can be used by countries to prioritize access investments where the gap is large, and discuss implications for future contraceptive use where the gap is small. It is also used within the FP Goals model to ensure mCPR growth from access interventions does not exceed available demand.

Khrenovskoy section of the "Special Expedition of the Forest Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and State Property for testing and accounting of various ways and methods of forestry and water management in the steppes of Russia" is located in the south-east of the Voronezh region. In the scientific literature this territory is called the "Stone Steppe". The expedition worked here from 1892 to 1898. The first planting was carried out by O.I. Kovalev and K.E. Sobenevsky foresters. In one plantation, many trees and shrubs were tested for their suitability for afforestation in the region. Successors of foresters of "Special expedition ..." G.F. Morozov and A.N. Mikhailov finally decided on the main species, having secured this status behind English oak tree, but taking into account the new requirements for creation of forest belts, the search for the best oak companions is still continuing. Currently, in the south-east of the Central Black Earth (Voronezh region) there are more than 126 thousand hectares of protective plantations on agricultural lands located near ravine and narrows. Most of them grow without forest management; many were exposed to fire and need reforestation measures. In the Stone Steppe, experimental restoration felling has been carried out since 1933, when the forest strips were 38 years old. The last experimental regenerative felling was carried out in the 63 years old summer plantation (forest belt No. 72). The possibility of coppice resumption and creation of oak plantations on felling was tested. Cultures are not preserved because of ill-timed clarification. In the coppice stands the breed composition has changed due to the reduction of oak, which is also explained by the untimely cleaning of oak coppice. There is a perspective in the coppice stands of maple-linden plantations and in old-growth mother stands of oak-maple ones, since in all variants maple young growth is viable and is available in sufficient quantity. The article shows that despite the minimum amount of oak in the composition of the parent stand, by 122 it will begin to take the leading place. The dynamics of the species composition of the 122-year-old water-protection forest stand is considered and the analysis of the results of reforestation cuttings is carried out in different age periods of this plantation. It has been established that the parent tree stand, despite its thinness, has a considerable stock of stem wood, English oak has leading position in vitality, and European ash and black ash ; in the most part, are limited in viability, elm that prevailed during planting was the last one in the old-growth plantation.

The creation of forest-park green belts is defined by chapter IX.1 of the Federal Law "On Environmental Protection" for the purpose of limiting mode of nature use and management and conservation of natural ecological systems. Forest-park green belts are a new form of realization of the right of urban residents to a favourable environment. In the forest-steppe zone, important bioclimatic and environmental requirements are imposed on the formation of forest-park green belts: in winter – protection from adverse winds; in summer – protection from dust storms, dry winds, from excessive insolation, fastening of slopes, ravines, soils. Forest-park green belts should carry a significant ecosystem load. The most important indicator of the successful functioning of forest-park green belt is its placement, configuration and size. It is scientifically justified to use four criteria for determining priority areas for inclusion in the forest-park green belt. The localization criterion, which is the basis for the inclusion of the site in the forest-park green belt, reflects the remoteness of the site (proximity) from the urban agglomeration. The criterion of "ecosystem load" reflects the fulfilment of the ecological functions by the site. The criterion "Site type" serves to determine the origin of the site and evaluate its distinctive features. The criterion "Existence of encumbrances" serves as an indicator of the incompatibility of the site with the goals of creating a forest-park green belt. The selection of sites for inclusion in the forest-park green belt is carried out taking into account the opinion of experts on the results of their questioning. The proposed methodical approach to identifying sites for inclusion in the forest-park green belt can be used at all levels of forest management by regional executive authorities to justify management decisions to create a "green shield" of the territories.
Estimation of economic consequences of observed and expected climate changes using long-term forecast scenarios of forestry development

Published: December 2017

Economic consequences of climate change for the forest sector were calculated on the basis of data on changes in wood reserves as a result of an increase in the vegetation period, the sum of active temperatures and the total average annual increase for 1 ha of forest fund lands covered by forest vegetation, as well as the dynamics of the complex Nesterov’s fire danger index for weather conditions for the middle and end of the century for the 3rd, 4th and 5th classes of fire danger. Comparative analysis of the position of boundaries of natural and climatic zones at current time, middle and end of the century indicates a predictable shift of boundaries from south to north. The displacement of the boundaries of the natural and climatic zones will inevitably entail a change in the pedigree composition of the forest tracts in these territories. In particular, the gradual change of coniferous species for deciduous ones is predicted, which will directly affect the structure of forest resources. The economic consequences of predicted changes will be related both to the change in the species composition of forests and to the change in the average annual growth of wood. Due to the increase in the growing season and the sum of the active temperatures, an increase in the total average annual growth per hectare of forestland covered with vegetation, operational forests up to 2.9 m3/ha in the middle of the century and up to 3.2 m3/ha at the end of the century (at 2.6 m3/ha for the period of 2008-2014). Taking into account the cost of coniferous and deciduous wood by regions (in average prices in 2017), as well as the growth of productivity of plantations, by the middle of the century the value of forests in relation to 2014 will increase by 50.3%. By the end of the century, an increase up to 217% is expected from the level of 2014. By 2090, the boundaries of the southern taiga are expected to shift to the middle taiga. If current forest productivity continues, the valuation is expected to decline to 93.8% from the level of 2014. By the middle and the end of the century, the fire season is expected to increase, in aver-age for 4 days by 2050 and for 9 days by 2090. Due to this, the cost of extinguishing forest fires is likely to increase. On average, by regions, the increase in expenditures from 2016 to 2050 will be 2.3 million rubles per year, from 2051 to 2090 - 4.1 million rubles per year.
Space structure of forest shelterbelt in Lugansk region agrocenosis
Authors: Грибачева Олеся , Gribacheva Olesya
Published: December 2017

It is known that field-protective afforestation is carried out on agricultural lands for protection from abiotic and biotic factors such as dry winds, droughts, soil erosion, and also anthropogenic ones. To study spatial structure of the field-protective belts, test areas were laid in accordance with OST 56-69-83, where the following species were studied: species composition of woody-shrubby and grassy vegetation, continuous enumeration of forest stands. Based on the results of the enumeration taxation, composition of shelter belt, diameter and average height, and state of the stand according to Kraft were determined. There were no archival data on the landing time and the age of investigated forest belts. Field protection zone in the vicinity of Zolotarevka village is represented by the stand of the second generation of both seed and vegetative origin. It is located in Stanichno-Lugansky district of Lugansk region (Ukraine), in the vicinity of Zolotarevka village. Geographical coordinates of the location of the village are 48.90417º N, 39.79361º E. The main tree species (edificator) is represented by European white birch (Betula pendula Roth), planted in rows – 5 rows. The belt is not homogeneous in tree species, although initially it was created only from birch plants. In the first third of the forest belt in one vertical tier the birch is alternating with Norway maple, and then in the middle part there is European white birch. The main tree species in the second forest belt is the acicular plaque (Acer platanoides L.). At the point of contact of plants of indicated cenoses, despite the presence of a break in the work of engineering, there is mixing of these species in the first shelter belt, that is,Norway maple cut out other species of the indicated cenosis, including birch. Having studied the spatial structure and species diversity of plants of all life forms of field shelter belts (Zolotarevka village (Stanichno-Luhansky district of Lugansk region) one can conclude that it is necessary to consider these ecosystems in a sozological aspect.

The article is devoted to the identification and study of the peculiarities of the structure, condition and growth of Scots pine plantations, created in the spring of 2007 on logging place. On test plots in cultures which are 6 and 9 years old, variability in the diameter of plant trunks at the soil surface (D0,0 m) and at the height of 1,3 m (D1,.3 m) has been studied. The character of their distribution along 1-centimeter steps of thickness was established. The variation of current plant growths in height according to the calendar years (2008-2016) was studied during their free growth a Artificial reforestation is one of the methods of sustainable reproduction of forests widely used in the forest districts of the European part of the Russian Federation. In order to assess growth and quality of close canopy pine forest cultures, to identify the features of their structure along the diameter, and to study the variation in annual increments in height in 6- and 9-year-old forest stands, trial plots were laid by the standard method. Statistical processing of data on the continuous counting of pine plants is made. It is established that the distribution curves of trees in 1-centimeter steps of thickness have a single-vertex character, similar to the "normal" distribution. For objective silvicultural and inventory characteristics of close canopy forest stands and their transfer to lands occupied by forest plantations, and also in order to reduce labor costs during their inspection and forest inventory operations, it is quite sufficient to measure diameters at the altitude of 1.3 m and a height of 5-7 medium-sized pine plants and calculate their respective arithmetic mean values. The revealed dependence between the diameter of plants at an altitude of 1.3 m and their diameter at the soil surface in close canopy forest stands can be used in calculating damage according to stumps, illegally felled young pine trees for New Year Holidays.

Prehospital pharmacological interventions in acute asthma: A rationale for use
Authors: Gregory Pete
Published: December 2017

Ambulance service practitioners have an array of medicines available to alleviate the symptoms of an acute asthma attack; these include sympathomimetics (β-adrenoreceptor agonists and β-adrenoreceptor agonists), antimuscarinic agents (sometimes referred to as anticholinergic agents) and corticosteroids. In order to provide the best level of care to a patient suffering from an acute asthma attack it is essential that the attending practitioner understands the mechanism of action of the medicines he/she will administer and the adverse effects of those medicines. This article provides an overview of the mode of action of these medicines, discusses why the adverse effects occur, and questions JRCALC guidelines.
The development of Somatic Acting Process in UK-based actor training
Authors: Kapadocha Christina
Published: December 2017

This article introduces a new Body-Mind Centering (BMC®)/Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy (IBMT)-inspired somatic acting and creative methodology as part of my Somatic Acting Process® (SAP®) practice. It briefly unpacks the journey and the current shape of this ongoing actor-training pedagogy, along with my growing development as a somatically aware actor-trainer and educator. The discussion situates my practice within a lineage of somatic-based processes in conservatoire actor training, suggesting further developments through the modification of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen’s somatic process of embodiment and practices of witnessing in my current teaching. This article is necessarily a very concise sample of a larger and continuously developing praxis. Nevertheless, it proposes the valuable contribution of a somatically-informed creative practice for the understanding and communication of acting as innately interrelational and at the same time uniquely individual experience, as a process of dynamic sensitivity and responsibility.
Touch, containment and consolation in This is For You
Authors: Macdonald Anna
Published: December 2017

This article brings together somatic, geographic and psychoanalytic discourse in order to explore the consoling effect of touch within a site-specific performance, made by the author called This is For You.1 The particular quality of the touch in this work is identified, with reference to somatic practices such as Alexander technique and Contact Improvisation, as touching with empty hands. Drawing on Amanda Bingley’s assertion that touch experienced in one moment can connect us to foundational experiences of touch in another, this particular quality of touch is explored in terms of its resonance with the psychoanalytic concept of maternal containment. The article explores the role that the ability of touch to contain (what is touched) plays in its capacity to assuage feelings of loss prompted by the transience of the city in which the work took place. It concludes by pointing to the potential importance of the ability of touch to both hold and accentuate the indeterminacies of the body in its capacity to console.
Feeling and healing: Anna Halprin’s dance as healing art
Authors: Lee Christina
Published: December 2017

After her cancer went into spontaneous remission after her Exorcism or ‘Dark Side Dance’, Anna Halprin developed dance into movement-based expressive arts therapy as a ‘healing art’ to help other patients deal with their illnesses. Halprin’s method of using movement to cultivate somatic and sensory awareness is what Richard Shusterman would call a somaesthetics discipline, a practice that aims at somatic introspection and improvement. This article suggests that somatic practices like Halprin’s movement-based expressive arts therapy can offer alternative ways of knowing and experiencing the body, especially for those who feel estranged from their bodies due to illness or disability. Drawing from personal experiences as a disabled person experimenting with Halprin’s dance, I suggest that a somaesthetics of dance can change how ill or disabled bodies are perceived and experienced, and thus lead to integration and healing.
Buddhist ethics and the contact improvisation practitioner
Authors: Lalitarāja
Published: December 2017

This article explores what a Buddhist practitioner/contact improviser/dance artist/educator can contribute to a discussion of ethics in somatically informed dance practice. The discussion looks at the links between Buddhist ethical practice and the implicit ethics within contact improvisation. In talking about contact improvisation this article assumes that extrapolating these reflections out to any of the somatic practices would bear similar fruit. The goal of Buddhism is vimukti/freedom, but it starts with ethics. Buddhist ethical precepts are sikkhapāda/training steps; it is this sense of undertaking training that offers a different perspective on ethical practice. Ethical mores within the contact improvisation community are strong but implicit, and yet there is a tangible consensus internationally about the values that inform the practice. Articulating the similarities between the two, there is an offer to a wider debate on ethics in somatically informed dance.
El futuro de los repositorios institucionales
Authors: García Peñalvo Francisco José
Published: December 2017

Los repositorios institucionales son una pieza fundamental en el ecosistema tecnológico para la Ciencia Abierta. Sobre ellos recae la ruta verde del acceso abierto y, por tanto, son claves en las nuevas políticas de investigación que se describen en las leyes de la ciencia de muchos países. Juegan también un papel sumamente relevante en la cadena de valor de la visibilidad y reputación cientí ca de un investigador. Sin embargo, los repositorios son una herramienta lejana para la mayoría de los investigadores, lo que se traduce en pérdida de oportunidad para ellos, en pérdida de competitividad para las instituciones que los auspician y, en de nitiva, en una pérdida para la sociedad en general. Es por ello, que en este artículo se va a re exionar sobre cómo deberían evolucionar estos repositorios institucionales para conseguir atraer y retener la atención de los investigadores para que los introduzcan en sus ujos de trabajo dentro del ciclo de sus investigaciones.
Bone grafting and osseointegration in the area of maxillary tooth agenesis. Case report

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACTThe high dental implant success rate is directly linked to the presence of adequate bone volume, which enables and maintains the osseointegration of dental implants. This study aimed to report a clinical case of a female with agenesis of the right maxillary lateral incisor (#12), due to cleft lip and palate.Because the  bone and mucosal defects of the area, the treatment planning comprised guided bone regeneration with the association of autogenous bone, platelet rich plasm (PRP), and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (e-PTFE,Gore-Tex), performed in 2005. After nine months, a new evaluation was carried out and revealed that the area was still not suitable for implant placement. Thus, an allogenous bone graft was planned. Elapsed another nine months, the implant was placed. After six months, the implant was reopened and a metal-ceramic crown was installed. The 5-year following-up appointment showed the presence of fistula with purulent secretion at the buccal cortical plate. We attempted to control the fistula with antibiotics and follow-up clinically and radiographically. The examinations suggested a communication with the right nasal cavity, which decreased until nowadays. The osseointegrated dental implant was in function, without symptomatology. The autogenous bone graft is still more effective than allogenous bone graft. Further studies are necessary to achieve better evaluations. KeywordsBone graft; Dental implant; Osseointegration.

The authors present a complete surgical and prosthetic case report of a 50-year-old male patient who lost the element 11 by periodontal disease, and during the phase of provisional restorations of the elements 12, 11, 21 and 22 had the element 21 fractured in domestic accident. The roots of the elements 11 and 21 suffered extraction and were replaced in the same act by a conic osseointegrated HE implant measuring 18 X 4 mm and graft of synthetic hydroxyapatite with a three months gap between the two surgical procedures. Six months after the second extraction with replacement of the root of the 21 element by an implant, four individual metal-free ceramic crowns were placed on the elements 12, 11, 21 and 22, two tooth-supported (12, 22) and two implant-supported on custom abutments of zirconia (11, 21), which fully rehabilitated the function and esthetics of the patient with the regeneration and maintenance of bone level and gingival papillae between the elements, due to the strict respect of the biological distances between the individual parts, with monitoring and photographic, radiographic and tomographic documentation previously, during and after the surgery, twenty eight months after the installation of the implant of the 21 element and twenty-one months after the cementing of the four crowns. The authors and the patient signed the Free Informed Consent Form for the presentation of the case which was submitted in accordance with the standards of CONEP. KeywordsMaxillary sockets; Immediate implant; Periodontal failure; Incisor fracture.
