Published: March 2018

Introdução: O adequado armazenamento de medicamentos tem como finalidade garantir sua integridade e qualidade de modo a manter sua eficácia e segurança. Os critérios para o armazenamento refletirão, em última instância, no uso racional ou não dos medicamentos. Objetivo: avaliar as condições de armazenamento domiciliar de medicamentos dentre os idosos. Método: Este foi um estudo transversal prospectivo com amostragem de conveniência, onde os dados foram coletados de abril a maio de 2016, através de entrevista utilizando um questionário semiestruturado. O público-alvo foram estudantes da Universidade Aberta da Terceira Idade que fizeram uso de pelo menos um medicamento nos últimos dois meses. Os resultados foram apresentados através de frequência absoluta, relativa e media. Resultados e discussão: 41 participantes atenderam ao critério de inclusão da pesquisa, com um total de 155 medicamentos em uso, resultando numa média de 3,8 medicamentos per capita. Este dado se confirma na literatura já que normalmente há uma grande incidência da polifarmácia entre os idosos, o que colabora para reações adversas e demanda maior cuidado. Quanto à leitura da bula, 29 (70,7%) responderam que liam a bula, o que talvez possa ser justificado por estarem inseridos em meio acadêmico e terem maior acesso às informações. Para 17 participantes (41,5%), o local de armazenamento foi a cozinha, sendo este local inapropriado por apresentar variações de temperatura e umidade, podendo interferir na qualidade do medicamento e comprometer os resultados clínicos do tratamento. Quanto à data de validade do medicamento, 35 (85,4%) expressaram que verificam antes do consumo. Um dado alarmante: 35 (85,4%) responderam nunca terem tido orientação sobre as condições adequadas para armazenamento de medicamentos, enquanto que dos 6 (14,1%) que já foram orientados, em nenhum dos casos esta foi realizada por um Farmacêutico, mostrando que esse profissional ainda precisa se apoderar do cuidado às pessoas. Conclusão: O presente estudo identificou o desconhecimento por parte dos entrevistados quanto ao armazenamento, demostrando a necessidade de campanhas que promovam esclarecimentos sobre armazenamento de medicamentos e uma melhor assistência do Farmacêutico junto aos usuários.

Objetivos: Apresentar um panorama da rede de assistência oncológica brasileira sob a perspectiva do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e do Sistema Suplementar. Métodos: Revisão de toda base de dados de registro dos estabelecimentos de saúde brasileiros (Cadastro Nacional dos Estabelecimentos de Saúde – CNES / DATASUS) referente a setembro de 2015. Foram utilizadas bases de dados de cadastro dos estabelecimentos, de habilitações em oncologia (CACON – Centro de assistência de alta complexidade em oncologia, e UNACON – Unidade de assistência de alta complexidade em oncologia), e de profissionais que neles possuem vínculos. Essa fonte de informação tem como objetivo cadastrar todos os estabelecimentos de saúde: públicos, conveniados e privados, seja pessoa física ou jurídica, que realizam qualquer tipo de serviço de atenção à saúde no âmbito do território nacional. Resultados: O Brasil possui 2.404 centros de assistência oncológica com 5.945 oncologistas. 11% dos centros (273) e 75% dos médicos (4.488) estão no SUS, média de 16 oncologistas por centro e 1,2 oncologista para cada 10.000 habitantes dependentes exclusivamente do SUS, na faixa de 46 a 80 anos. 83% são hospitais gerais (226) e 17% hospitais especializados (47), sendo 66% privados (180) - 161 filantrópicos e 19 lucrativos. Dentre os 93 hospitais públicos, 47 possuem gestão estadual, 32 federal e 14 municipal. No Sistema Suplementar são 2.131 centros de oncologia e 3.364 oncologistas, média de 2 oncologistas por centro, e 2,4 oncologistas para cada 10.000 habitantes com planos de saúde, na faixa de 46 a 80 anos . Aproximadamente 2.000 oncologistas atendem no SUS e no Sistema Suplementar. 31% são clínicas e ambulatórios especializados, 25% hospital geral, 25% consultórios e 19% outros 21 tipos de estabelecimentos, sendo 88% privado (1.881) – 1.575 lucrativos e 306 filantrópicos. Dentre os 250 públicos, 161 possuem gestão municipal, 67 estadual e 22 federal. Conclusão: O Brasil possui importante rede de atendimento em oncologia, e enquanto uma estrutura menor para o SUS que atende a maior parte da população (200 milhões), uma estrutura maior para o setor privado, atende a menor parcela da população que possui planos de saúde. Vale ressaltara ainda que a estrutura de rede da assistência oncológica no sistema público e privado possui padrões bem distintos de organização, porém com a convergência dos profissionais. A partir disso, é importante nesse momento ampliar a discussão sobre o SUS espera das políticas da saúde suplementar.
Uso de enoxaparina em pacientes com insuficiência renal em unidade de terapia intensiva
Authors: Tianeze de Castro Caroline , Silveira Camargo Marianne , Pereira Rocha Isabel Cristina , Neto Santos Camila , Mistro Sóstenes , Galvão Guimarães de Oliveira Marcio
Published: March 2018

Introdução: As heparinas de baixo peso molecular (HBPM) têm substituído a heparina não fracionada por serem igualmente efetivas na prevenção e tratamento de eventos tromboembólicos, possuírem maior conveniência na administração, e não necessitarem de monitorização laboratorial rotineira. A enoxaparina, um dos principais representantes da classe das HBPM, é largamente excretada pelos rins (40% de excreção renal), o que pode levar ao acúmulo em pacientes com insuficiência renal, com consequente aumento no risco de sangramento. Por esse motivo, é recomendada a redução de dose ou a substituição em pacientes com taxa de filtração glomerular (TFG) menor que 30 mL/minuto. Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou a adequação do uso de enoxaparina em pacientes com insuficiência renal na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) de um hospital do interior da Bahia. Material e método: Trata-se de uma coorte retrospectiva que incluiu pacientes adultos admitidos na UTI, que na admissão ou durante a internação apresentaram insuficiência renal e utilizaram enoxaparina para prevenção de eventos tromboembólicos. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários dos pacientes internados de junho a agosto de 2014. Foram considerados pacientes com insuficiência renal aqueles cuja estimativa da taxa de filtração glomerular era inferior a 55 mL/minuto, se sexo masculino e 52 mL/minuto, se sexo feminino. Resultados: No período avaliado nós identificamos 21 pacientes que preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Desse total, 14 (66,67%) apresentavam TFG < 30 mL/minuto, dos quais 11 (52,38%) não tiveram a dose da enoxaparina ajustada ou o tratamento substituído. Discussão: A insuficiência renal é um quadro frequente nos indivíduos internados em UTI’s e está comumente associada a situações como sepse grave, insuficiência cardíaca, hipotensão e uso de medicamentos nefrotóxicos. Pacientes com insuficiência renal apresentam um risco adicional para o uso de medicamentos em doses inadequadas, quando os respectivos fármacos e/ou seus metabólitos são eliminados pelos rins, uma vez que essa característica farmacocinética impõe a necessidade de ajuste de dose ou interrupção do tratamento. A falha nesse processo pode resultar em resultados terapêuticos negativos para os pacientes e prejuízo financeiro para a instituição, em vista do aumento no tempo de hospitalização e necessidade de tratamentos adicionais. Conclusão: No período avaliado, mais da metade dos pacientes com indicação de ajuste na dose da enoxaparina, não tiveram suas doses corrigidas.

Luminarze finansów agrobiznesu, stan obecny i perspektywy
Authors: Franc-Dąbrowska Justyna
Published: March 2018

Celem artykułu było zebranie dorobku luminarzy finansów agrobiznesu oraz wskazanie na bieżące i przyszłe kierunki badań. Geneza finansów agrobiznesu – odrębnego obszaru badań w stosunku do finansów w ogóle – ma swoje umocowanie w specyfice podmiotów funkcjonujących w sferze agrobiznesu. Poczynając od rozważań koryfeuszy finansów agrobiznesu, poprzez prowadzone na przełomie wieków XX i XXI badania, nie udało się rozstrzygnąć wszystkich wątpliwości z obszaru podejmowania decyzji finansowych i ich skutków w rolnictwie. Nadal pozostaje szerokie pole badawcze – a wręcz wraz ze wzrostem tempa przemian w gospodarce w skali makro, jak i w świecie – pojawia się coraz więcej wątpliwości dotyczących rozstrzygnięć dedykowanych przedsiębiorcom rolnym. Rysuje się zatem szeroki zakres badawczy, który można byłoby określić jako finanse agrobiznesu, nacechowany specyfiką, w tym szczególnie uzależnieniem produkcji od gospodarowania z organizmami żywymi, silnym uzależnieniem od czynników przyrodniczych, czy ograniczoną mobilnością społeczeństwa z terenów wiejskich.
Wynagrodzenia i wydajność pracy w rolnictwie polskim na tle pozostałych krajów Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Góral Justyna , Rembisz Włodzimierz
Published: March 2018

Celem artykułu była analiza porównawcza wydajności pracy w rolnictwie w państwach Unii Europejskiej. Z danych Eurostat-u wynika, szybszy przyrost wydajności pracy dotyczył krajów UE-12, jednak „startowały” one ze znacznie niższego poziomu. Stąd wyniki te nadal wymagają dalszej poprawy i dalszego doganiania (catching up) państw UE-15 (tzw. „starej Unii”). W świetle analizowanych oraz przeprowadzonych badań empirycznych wydajność pracy w polskim sektorze rolnym zaliczono do najniższej w całej UE. Potwierdził to również przegląd literatury oraz wnioski płynące z badań licznych autorów. W efekcie pochodną tego są niższe wynagrodzenia. Analiza czynników determinujących w ujęciu teoretycznym wydajność pracy pokazała potencjalne źródła wzrostu tej wielkości.
Ocena wybranych cech jabłek jako potencjalnych czynników popytowych
Authors: Olewnicki Dawid , Marzec Magda , Nowakowska Karolina , Świderska Paulina
Published: March 2018

Celem opracowania była ocena wpływu poszczególnych cech jabłek na ich zakup, a także ocena znajomości wśród konsumentów ich właściwości prozdrowotnych, w tym właściwości antyoksydacyjnych (antyrakowych).Na tej podstawie podjęto próbę określenia, czy zwiększenie tej świadomości może wpłynąć na wzrost popytu na te owoce. Jabłka, ze względu na swoje właściwości prozdrowotne, w tym antyoksydacyjne, powinny należeć do produktów spożywanych regularnie i w dużych ilościach. Niestety w Polsce spożycie owoców od kilkunastu lat wykazuje tendencję spadkową. Ponadto przeprowadzone badania sugerują, że dla większości respondentów wartości prozdrowotne mają najmniejsze znaczenie podczas zakupu jabłek, a tylko ok. 1/5 ankietowanych ma na uwadze tę cechę. Największe znaczenie podczas zakupów tych produktów, bo aż dla ¾ ankietowanych ma wygląd jabłek. Nawet jeśli przyjąć, że część konsumentów z założenia kupuje jabłka ze względu na wartości prozdrowotne, to nadal ta cech jabłek nie jest dla nich najistotniejsza.

Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (CONPs) are interesting biomaterials with various applications in biomedicine, cosmetics and the pharmaceutical industry, but with limited practical application because of their low stability in aqueous media. The aim of this study was to obtain CONPs with increased stability by coating the particles. Microbial exopolysaccharides (levan, pullulan) and glucose were used to prepare CONPs under different synthesis conditions. Coating was attempted by adding the carbohydrates during (direct coating) or after (subsequent coating) the synthesis of CONPs. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by X-Ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The suspension stability of the uncoated and coated CONPs in aqueous media was evaluated by measuring the hydrodynamic size, zeta potential and turbidity. The FT-IR spectra revealed the differences between coated CONPs and showed the success of subsequent coating with carbohydrates. Coating with carbohydrates improved the stability the CONP suspension by decreasing the size of aggregated particles. The suspensions of levan- and glucose-coated CONPs had the best stability. In this study, CONPs were prepared using non-toxic materials, which were completely environmentally friendly. The obtained results open new horizons for CONP synthesis, improving their biological applications.
An effect of a purely dissipative process of microstresses on plane strain gradient plasticity problems
Authors: Borokinni Adebowale , Fadodun Odunayo , Akinola Adegbola
Published: March 2018

This article considers a plane strain gradient plasticity theory of the Gurtin?Anand model [M. Gurtin, L. Anand, A theory of strain gradient plasticity for isotropic, plastically irrotational materials Part I: Small deformations, J. Mech. Phys. Solids 53 (2005), 1624?1649] for an isotropic material undergoing small deformation in the absence of plastic spin. It is assumed that the system of microstresses is purely dissipative, so that the free energy reduces to a function of the elastic strain, while the microstresses are only related to the plastic strain rate and gradient of the plastic strain rate via the constitutive relations. The plane strain problem of the Gurtin?Anand model for a purely dissipative process gives rise to elastic incompressibility. A weak formulation of the flow rule is derived, making the plane strain problem suitable for finite element implementation.
Closed form traveling wave solutions of non-linear fractional evolution equations through the modified simple equation method
Authors: Ali Akbar , Ali Norhashidah , Wazwaz Abdul-Majid
Published: March 2018

In this article, the modified simple equation (MSE) method is introduced to examine the closed form wave solutions of the fractional non-linear Cahn-Allen equation and of the fractional generalized reaction Duffing equation. The fractional derivatives are delineated in the sense of Jumarie?s modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. A fractional complex transformation is used to transform the fractional-order PDE into integer order ODE. The reduced equations are then examined by using the MSE method and some new and further general solutions of these equations are successfully established. The approach of this method is simple, standard and the obtained solutions are highly encouraging. It is also powerful, reliable and effective.

Authors: Abbas Zaheer , Imran Muhammad , Naveed Muhammad
Published: March 2018

The study depicts the variations in the hydromagnetics flow of a Careau fluid in a semi permeable curved channel with convective boundary condition. Furthermore, Rosseland approximation is also considered to analyze the non-linear thermal radiation effects. Curvilinear co-ordinates system has been adopted for the mathematical modeling of the flow equations. The attained set of governing equation are then converted into non-linear dimensionless differential equations, by making use of similarity variables which are later treated by shooting method. In addition, the Newton?s Raphson method is also incepted to improve the accuracy of the obtained numerical result. The velocity field and temperature distributions are affected by various involved parameter which are presented in graphs and in table form. It is noticed that the velocity profiles are influenced by the change in the Weissenberg number.
Numerical study of developing laminar mixed convection in a heated annular duct with temperature dependent properties
Authors: Khemici Meriem , Boufendi Toufik , Touahri Sofiane
Published: March 2018

This study presents a numerical simulation of the 3-D laminar mixed convection between two concentric horizontal cylinders with physical properties which depend on temperature. The outer cylinder is subjected to an internal energy generated by the Joule effect whereas the inner cylinder is adiabatic. The flow and thermal fields are modeled by the continuity, momentum, and energy equations with appropriate initial and boundary conditions using a cylindrical co-ordinate system. The model equations are numerically solved by a finite volume method with a second order accurate spatiotemporal discretization. For the considered geometric, dynamic and thermal controlling parameters, it is found that the transverse flow is always the cause of the circumferential variation of the temperature and the physical properties of the fluid. The phenomenon of the temperature stratification is highlighted and the vortices obtained lead to an improvement in the heat transfer quantified by the increase in the number of Nusselt. The obtained axial Nusselt number increases with the increased of Grashof number which is proportional to the heat flux imposed at the surface of the outer cylinder.

Authors: Dagilis Vytautas , Vaitkus Liutauras , Balcius Algimantas , Gudzinskas Juozas , Lukosevicius Valdas
Published: March 2018

The paper analyses low grade heat recovery problem for modern woodfuel cogeneration plant. The woodfuel flue gas, behind the condensing economizer, still contains a considerable amount of heat, main part of which is the latent one. To recover this low grade heat, the heat pump technology can be used, which is related with additional consumption of energy (electric, mechanical or heat). Another technique that could be applied is a heat regeneration when flue gas heat, mostly latent, is transmitted to air blown towards burning chamber. Therefore, the analysed heat recovery system operates mainly like mass regenerator which contains only blowers that use some electric energy. The regenerator consists of two cyclically operating columns with packing material. Energetic analysis demonstrates that 13% of additional heat can be produced utilizing this low grade heat. The economic valuation shows that investment in a heat recovery system is quite effective; the payback time is about four years.

Authors: Lalosevic Marija , Komatina Mirko , Milos Marko , Rudonja Nedzad
Published: March 2018

The effect of extensive and intensive green roofs on improving outdoor microclimate parameters of urban built environments is currently a worldwide focus of research. Due to the lack of reliable data for Belgrade, the impact of extensive and intensive green roof systems on mitigating the effects of urban heat islands and improving microclimatic conditions by utilizing high albedo materials in public spaces were studied. Research was conducted on four chosen urban units within existing residential blocks in the city that were representative of typical urban planning and construction within the Belgrade metropolitan area. Five different models (baseline model and four potential models of retrofitting) were designed, for which the temperature changes at pedestrian and roof levels at 07:00, 13:00, 19:00 h, on a typical summer day, and at 01:00 h, the following night in Belgrade were investigated. The ENVI-met software was used to model the simulations. The results of numerical modeling showed that utilizing green roofs in the Belgrade climatic area could reduce air temperatures in the surroundings up to 0.47, 1.51, 1.60, 1.80 ?C at pedestrian level and up to 0.53, 1.45, 0.90, 1.45 ?C at roof level for four potential retrofitting strategies, respectively.
Numerical study of 3-D microscale heat transfer of a thin diamond slab under fix and moving laser heating
Authors: Dehkordi Ehsan , Raisi Afrasiab , Ghasemi Behzad
Published: March 2018

Laser heating is one of the most practical operations in the field of solid circuit production and thin condensed film treatment. The correct prediction of the heat propagation and flux into the micro/nanothin slab under laser heating has high practical importance. Many theoretical and numerical investigations have been performed for analysis of micro/nanoheat conduction based on one or 2-D approximations. For moving laser heating of thin films, with asymmetric paths, the one or 2-D analysis cannot be applied. The most appropriate equation for micro/ nanoheat transfer is the Boltzmann transport equation which predicts the phonon transport, precisely. In the present work, the 3-D microscale heat conduction of a diamond thin slab under fix or moving laser heating at very small time scales has been studied. Hence, the transient 3-D integro-differential equation of phonon radiative transfer has been derived from the Boltzmann equation transport and solved numerically to find the heat flux and temperature of thin slab. Regarding the boundary and interface scattering and the finite relaxation time in the equation of phonon radiative transfer, leads to more precise prediction than conventional Fourier law, especially for moving laser heating.
Axisymmetric stagnation-point flow and heat transfer of nanofluid impinging on a cylinder with constant wall heat flux
Authors: Mohammadiun Hamid , Amerian Vahid , Mohammadiun Mohammad , Khazaee Iman , Darabi Mohsen , Zahedi Mohammadreza
Published: March 2018

The steady-state, viscous flow and heat transfer of nanofluid in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of a stationary cylinder with constant wall heat flux is investigated. The impinging free-stream is steady and with a constant strain rate, k ?. Exact solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation are derived in this problem. A reduction of these equations is obtained by use of appropriate transformations introduced in this research. The general self-similar solution is obtained when the wall heat flux of the cylinder is constant. All the previous solutions are presented for Reynolds number Re = k ?a2/2n f ranging from 0.1 to 1000, selected values of heat flux and selected values of particle fractions where a is cylinder radius and n f is kinematic viscosity of the base fluid. For all Reynolds numbers, as the particle fraction increases, the depth of diffusion of the fluid velocity field in radial direction, the depth of the diffusion of the fluid velocity field in z-direction, shear-stresses and pressure function decreases. However, the depth of diffusion of the thermal boundary-layer increases. It is clear by adding nanoparticles to the base fluid there is a significant enhancement in Nusselt number and heat transfer.
A priority based time minimization transportation problem
Authors: Kaushal Bindu , Arora Shalini
Published: March 2018

This paper discusses a priority based time minimizing transporation problem in which destinations are prioritized so that the material is supplied, based upon the priorities of the destinations. All the destinations, which are at priority, are served first in Stage-I while the demands of the secondary destinations are met in Stage-II. It is assumed that secondary transportation can not take place until the primary transportation is done. The purpose is to transport in such a manner that the sum of the transportation time of primary and secondary destinations is minimum. To achieve this, two approaches are proposed. In the first approach, primary destinations are served optimally by giving weights while in the second approach, lexicographic optimization is used. From the generated pairs, the minimum sum of times corressponding to Stage-I and Stage-II times is picked up as the optimal solution. It is also shown, through Computational Details, that the lexicographic optimization converges to the optimal solution faster than the first approach as reported in Table 4.

Published: March 2018

Our paper addresses an integral model of the large electric power system optimal development. The model takes into account the age structure of the main equipment, which is divided into several types regarding its technical characteristics. This mathematical model is a system of Volterra type integral equations with variable integration limits. The system describes the balance between the given demand for electricity, the commissioning of new equipment and the dismantling of obsolete equipment, as well as the shares of different types of power plants in the total composition of the electric power system equipment. Based on the developed model, we got numerical solution to the problem of finding the optimal strategy for replacing equipment with a minimum of the cost functional. The case study is the Unified Electric Power System of Russia. Calculations of the forecast for development of the electric power system of Russia until 2050 were made using real-life data.
A bilevel approach to optimize electricity prices
Authors: Alekseeva Ekaterina , Brotcorne Luce , Lepaul Sébastien , Montmeat Alain
Published: March 2018

To meet unbalanced demand, an energy provider has to include costly generation technologies, which in turn results in high residential electricity prices. Our work is devoted to the application of a bilevel optimisation, a challenging class of optimisation problems, in electricity market. We propose an original demand-side management model, adapt a solution approach based on complementary slackness conditions, and provide the computational results on illustrative and real data. The goal is to optimise hourly electricity prices, taking into account consumers' behaviour and minimizing energy generation costs. By choosing new pricing policy and shifting electricity consumption from peak to off-peaks hours, the consumers might decrease their electricity payments and eventually, decrease the energy generation costs.
A Survey Study into Participation in Goal Setting, Fairness, and Goal Commitment: Effects of Including Multiple Types of Fairness
Authors: Groen Bianca A. C.
Published: March 2018

Building on goal setting and social exchange theory, this study extends prior research about how employee participation in setting annual performance and development goals is related to goal commitment via increased perceptions of fairness, through including other (correlated) types of fairness than typically studied in management accounting research. Survey data are collected from 135 employees and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results demonstrate participation is directly positively related to goal commitment as well as indirectly via distributive and informational fairness. In addition, the statistical relation between procedural fairness and goal commitment is suppressed: it ranges from significantly positive to significantly negative dependent on what other variables are included in the analyses. As a second contribution, the suppressor phenomenon and its implications are extensively discussed. Suppression mainly occurs when there is much overlap in the independent variables, for instance when multiple control practices are examined simultaneously as systems or packages.

OBJECTIVE

To compare races/ethnicities for characteristics, at type 1 diabetes diagnosis and during the first 3 years postdiagnosis, known to influence long-term health outcomes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We analyzed 927 Pediatric Diabetes Consortium (PDC) participants <19 years old (631 non-Hispanic white [NHW], 216 Hispanic, and 80 African American [AA]) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and followed for a median of 3.0 years (interquartile range 2.2–3.6). Demographic and clinical data were collected from medical records and patient/parent interviews. Partial remission period or “honeymoon” was defined as insulin dose–adjusted hemoglobin A1c (IDAA1c) ≤9.0%. We used logistic, linear, and multinomial regression models, as well as repeated-measures logistic and linear regression models. Models were adjusted for known confounders.

RESULTS

AA subjects, compared with NHW, at diagnosis, were in a higher age- and sex-adjusted BMI percentile (BMI%), had more advanced pubertal development, and had higher frequency of presentation in diabetic ketoacidosis, largely explained by socioeconomic factors. During the first 3 years, AA subjects were more likely to have hypertension and severe hypoglycemia events; had trajectories with higher hemoglobin A1c, BMI%, insulin doses, and IDAA1c; and were less likely to enter the partial remission period. Hispanics, compared with NHWs, had higher BMI% at diagnosis and over the three subsequent years. During the 3 years postdiagnosis, Hispanics had higher prevalence of dyslipidemia and maintained trajectories of higher insulin doses and IDAA1c.

CONCLUSIONS

Youth of minority race/ethnicity have increased markers of poor prognosis of type 1 diabetes at diagnosis and 3 years postdiagnosis, possibly contributing to higher risk of long-term diabetes complications compared with NHWs.
U chíikulil k’áatchi’: la forma, función y estandarización de la puntuación.
Authors: AnderBois Scott
Published: March 2018

Aunque el maya yucateco tiene una historia larga de uso escrito en comparación con las demás lenguas indígenas de las Américas, el uso cotidiano de la escritura y el desarrollo de un sistema de escritura estándar explícito siguen estando en sus primeras etapas. Un reciente paso importante en este proceso es la publicación de un libro –U nu’ukbesajil u ts’íibta’al maayat’aan / Normas de escritura para la lengua maya– que presenta por primera vez un conjunto completo de normas para escribir en la lengua. Además de esto, las normas muchas veces son motivadas por las propiedades gramaticales de la lengua. Este artículo examina la relación entre gramática y estandarización en un caso de estudio detallado sobre el no uso del signo de interrogación. Aunque no rechazamos la posibilidad de que haya otros factores que favorezcan esta norma (por ejemplo, la tradición, el deseo de crear normas distintas de las que tiene el español), argumentamos en contra del fundamento gramatical que dan los autores para el estándar. Repasamos la morfosintaxis de las construcciones interrogativas y categorías relacionadas e intentamos mostrar que las interacciones complejas entre estas construcciones validan la utilidad funcional del signo de interrogación para los lectores del maya yucateco. Original recibido: 2016/04/15Dictamen enviado al autor: 2017/04/17Aceptado: 2017/11/07

Authors: Hofling Charles Andrew
Published: March 2018

Este estudio presenta un bosquejo de la historia de los idiomas de la rama yucatecana y cómo las diferencias lingüísticas de los idiomas actuales reflejan sus historias. A base de un estudio comparativo de los idiomas actuales se puede rastrear las diferencias de fonología y morfosintaxis que se desarrollaron en cada idioma desde el proto-yucatecano de 950 d.C. Se muestran muchas innovaciones compartidas entre miembros de la rama, que reflejan separaciones de grupos, incluyendo migraciones, principalmente del norte al sur. También se muestra evidencia, generalmente léxica, del contacto entre los miembros de la rama y con hablantes de idiomas cholanos. El resultado es que cada idioma de la rama tiene características únicas y características compartidas que reflejan sus historias distintas. Original recibido: 2016/02/08Dictamen enviado al autor: 2017/04/12Aceptado: 2017/04/27
Variación en los sistemas vocálicos del lacandón del norte, lacandón del sur y yucateco: un análisis acústico.
Authors: Mojica Hernández Liliana , Martínez Corripio Israel
Published: March 2018

A partir de un análisis acústico se examina la variación en los sistemas vocálicos del lacandón del norte, lacandón del sur y yucateco, lenguas que pertenecen al tronco yucatecano de la familia lingüística maya. El análisis muestra evidencia del cambio en los sistemas vocálicos, con respecto a la vocal media central, la longitud vocálica, el patrón acentual y la manifestación del rasgo laríngeo. El resultado de este análisis acústico muestra que las vocales periféricas del lacandón del sur y del yucateco pueden realizarse fonéticamente con alargamiento, lo cual corrobora que ambas lenguas tienen una mayor cercanía entre sí. Sin embargo, en lacandón del norte, las vocales periféricas fonéticamente no tienen alargamiento, a diferencia de lo que se ha dicho en estudios previos sobre esta lengua. Respecto al patrón acentual, se destaca que el lacandón del sur y el yucateco son sensibles al peso silábico, mientras que el lacandón del norte presenta un patrón de acento fijo. Finalmente, se muestra que las vocales laringizadas del lacandón del norte y del lacandón del sur tienen una realización diferente. En el primer caso la vocal es cortada, mientras que en el segundo caso la vocal se realiza como rearticulada.Original recibido: 2016/09/30 Dictamen enviado al autor: 2017/04/15 Aceptado: 2017/11/08
La marcación de número en los préstamos españoles del maya yucateco: variación y restricciones.
Authors: Uth Melanie Uth , Gutiérrez Bravo Rodrigo
Published: March 2018

En este trabajo presentamos una investigación sobre la marcación morfológica de plural en los préstamos del español que se observan en el maya yucateco. La marcación del plural en esta lengua maya ha sido un tema que ha recibido una atención considerable en los últimos años, pero no así la marcación de plural en los préstamos del español que esta lengua ha adoptado, y en los que además muchas veces se observa igualmente la marca de plural del español. En este artículo mostramos, a partir de un estudio de corpus, que la marcación de plural de los préstamos del español obedece a criterios diferentes de los que operan cuando los nombres no son préstamos. Además, la comparación de los patrones de marcación según distintas edades y distintos perfiles lingüísticos revela que el peso de las restricciones que provienen del maya yucateco disminuye con (i) el bilingüismo y, (ii) la menor edad de los hablantes (véase también Pfeiler 2009: 108). Concluimos que la marcación de plural de los préstamos del español en maya yucateco deriva de la interacción de dos sistemas tipológicamente distintos pero que operan simultáneamente en esta parte de la gramática de la lengua receptora, dando como resultado un patrón que, debido a que adopta diferentes aspectos de las dos lenguas en contacto, termina siendo diferente del que se observa por separado en cada una de ellas. Original recibido: 2016/04/23Dictamen enviado al autor: 2017/10/28Aceptado: 2017/11/06
