Authors: Carvalho Rosângela Tenório de
Published: August 2018

Resumo A ação alfabetizadora pode ser analisada como um ritual de passagem da cultura oral para cultura escrita, na qual se atribui uma nova identidade – a do sujeito alfabetizado – e uma nova relação social a partir do enunciado sei ler. Neste artigo, a partir de uma análise de registro de cerimônias de abertura e de encerramento de Cursos de Alfabetização de Jovens e Adultos, sob a noção de cerimônia no campo da antropologia social de Stanley Tambiah, em convergência com o modo de problematizar os rituais de Michel Foucault, foi possível identificar como tais cerimônias, pelo seu efeito performático, constituem um aparato importante na produção do sujeito educado.

Published: August 2018

INTRODUCTION: The number of patients with chronic chronic disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD) has increased. In Brazil, in 2012, the number of patients in HD was 97,586, with a mortality rate of 19%. Physical exercise (PE) is an adjuvant therapy capable of promoting glycemic control, blood pressure and other gains relevant to CKD control. OBJECTIVE: To describe the benefits of quality of life, care and the most effective protocols of physical exercise for the individual on hemodialysis. METHODS: Systematic review study. Consultations of the SciELO and PubMed databases between 2005 and 2016 on the physiological effects of exercise and the quality of life of the individual on hemodialysis. The cross-over descriptors used were: "hemodialysis" and "exercises", "hemodialysis" and "exercises" and "intradialitic" and "exercises". RESULTS: 23 articles were selected with different EF programs, 8 exercises, 6 resisted, 5 composed by the association of both, and 1 of a comparison between aerobic and resisted. A sample ranged from 6 to 103 patients. Intervention time of 2 to 4 months. All programs should be improved in relation to functional capacity, reduction of inflammation, improvement of arterial compliance and others. In resisted PE, one of the studies reported deleterious effects for the patients, while those with resisted and aerobic PE showed benefits. CONCLUSION: EF was able to prevent oxidative stress, reduce blood pressure and increase blood glucose, increase muscle volume and strength, and gain quality in life, but there was no agreement on the best protocol.

Are you “phubbing” me? The Determinants of Phubbing Behavior and Assessment of Measurement Invariance across Sex Differences
Authors: T'ng Soo Ting , Ho Khee Hoong , Low Sew Kim
Published: August 2018

Phubbing behavior is pervasive but the examination of the determinants and measurement invariance remain deficient. The present study aims to investigate: (1) relationships between Big Five personality traits (i.e., open-mindedness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and negative emotionality), coping styles (i.e., problem-focused and emotional-focused), Internet addiction and phubbing behavior; (2) the mediating role of Internet addiction among these relationships; and (3) measurement invariance across sex groups. A total of 405 responses were included in the final analyses. Participants were sampled using a probability-proportionate-to-size (PPS) method. Data were collected using paper-and-pencil survey: Phubbing Scale, Internet Addiction Test, Big Five Inventory, and Simplified Coping Styles Questionnaire. Negative emotionality, open-mindedness, and Internet addiction were the significant determinants of phubbing behavior. Internet addiction partially mediates open-mindedness and phubbing behavior. As for measurement invariance across sex groups, conscientiousness, extraversion, negative emotionality, Internet addiction, and phubbing behavior constructs achieved full measurement invariance. The agreeableness construct showed partial measurement invariance. Three constructs (i.e., open-mindedness, problem-focused and emotional-focused coping) failed to achieve partial measurement invariance, signifying that male and female participants had different interpretations on the items of these constructs. This pervasive culture could be gradually weakened if in-person interaction is intensely promoted.
A Conceptual Framework of Strategy Cascading in the Mission-Based Organizations: A State-of-the-Art Review and Practical Template
Authors: Safari Mohammad , Zamani Mazdeh Mahdi
Published: August 2018

What matters in strategic management for the organization and can move the organization forward, is translating the strategies developed in the strategic planning phase into the operational program in the implementation phase. In other words, cascading the strategic plan into a form of an operational program is a key to organizational success. Strategic success will be achieved if the right strategies are cascaded in the organization rightly. The purpose of this research is to provide a framework for the strategic plan cascading into steps and an operational process to facilitate its implementation in the organization. For this purpose, the mission-focused organizations were considered. These organizations go beyond profitability and following the implementation of strategies and action plans are in searching to fulfill the mission for which it is designed and developed. Here, the ultimate goal is to achieve a designated and defined mission. This qualitative analytic research is seeking to provide a framework for cascading organizational strategies using a scientific and applied approach. After presenting the research's conceptual framework, in order to test and analysis the model, using experts' viewpoints through a questionnaire required data was gathered and analyzed. The results and findings of this research show that for the implementation of the developed strategies, a systematic and stepwise model is needed that consists of several stages: the formulation of strategies, the prioritization of strategies with strategic tools, comparative studies to find the transformation of the strategy into the program, and finally the design of the operational program and its quantitative objectives and measures.

Authors: ÇATAK Çiydem , NUROĞLU Elif
Published: August 2018

This paper attempts to investigate
the relationship between the growth of gross domestic product and innovation
related activities. A panel data analysis
is conducted on a sample of eight middle-income
countries covering 5-year time period from 2012-2016. The major findings of the
study show a significant positive impact of expenditure on education, graduates
in science and engineering, knowledge intensive employment, scientific and
technical articles, population and foreign direct investments on the growth of gross
domestic product. Hence, we conclude that there is a strong relation between
innovation-related activities and economic growth in middle-income countries.
Therefore, we suggest that middle-income countries should focus more on R&D
and innovation related activities to grow and change their income status to
higher income levels.

Published: August 2018

Background: The objective is to identify the risk factors of Meconium stained deliveries and evaluate the perinatal outcomes in Meconium Stained deliveries.Methods: This prospective observational study included those pregnant women who had completed 37 weeks of gestation, with singleton pregnancies with cephalic presentations and with no known fetal congenital anomalies. Among these, we selected 110 cases with Meconium stained amniotic fluid and they were compared with 110 randomly selected controls.Results: Regular antenatal visits were seen in 22.73 % of the cases while 77.27% cases had no previous visit. Majority of cases were primigravida and gestational ages of >40 weeks was seen in 55.45 % cases. 19.09% cases had meconium staining among pregnancies complicated with pregnancy induced hypertension, as compared to those among controls (5.45%). Fetal heart rate abnormalities were seen in 29.09% cases, and statistically significant fetal bradycardia was seen in cases. Caesarean section rates were nearly double in cases (54.55%). Poor perinatal outcome was found in cases as seen in results by low Apgar score (<7) at 1 minute and 5-minute, higher incidence of birth asphyxia, Meconium Aspiration Syndrome and increased NICU admission as compared to that among controls.Conclusions: Meconium stained amniotic fluid is more commonly associated with higher gestational age >40 weeks, pregnancy induced hypertension and fetal bradycardia, increased cesarean section rates, low APGAR score and higher incidence of birth asphyxia and NICU admissions. Meconium aspiration syndrome was associated with early neonatal death.
Significance of transvaginal sonographic assessment of cervical length before induction of labour
Authors: M. S. Shreya , C. Savitha
Published: August 2018

Background: The traditional method of predicting whether an induced labor will result in successful vaginal delivery is based on pre-induction favourability of cervix as assessed by bishop score. However, this method is limited by subjectivity and reproducibility and though done in all the patients prior to induction of labour, several studies have demonstrated poor correlation between Bishop score and outcome of labor. Currently assessment of cervical status by sonographically at term in induction of labor is most accurate and highly reproducible compared to Bishop score.Methods: This study was carried out in a tertiary care teaching institute in Karnataka. 180 pregnant women at or beyond 37weeks who were planned for induction, Bishop score assessment of cervix and cervical assessment by ultrasound such as cervical length (CL) was done one day prior to induction. Induction was with 0.5mg PGE2gel. Maximum 3 induction were carried out over a period of 24hrs. Primary outcome of the study was the onset of active labor.Results: Amongst 160 pregnant women who were induced (20 women were excluded has they underwent LSCS for some other reasons during latent phase) cervical length by sonography <2cm were 14 none had failed induction. Amongst 180 pregnant women who were induced cervical length <2cm in 14 all had Bishop score >4.Conclusions: Transvaginal sonographic measurement of cervical length was evaluated in predicting response to induction. CL <2cm was associated with greater incidence of successful labor induction. These results show the CL has significant role in predicting outcome of labor.

Published: August 2018

Background: A woman’s health is an integral part of any country. There are numerous factors that influence a woman’s decision of her reproductive health. A better understanding of these factors could help address gaps and barriers influencing the reproductive health choices of women in rural areas.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was carried out among women of ages 18-45 years in rural areas of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh to study factors influencing the reproductive health choices of women in rural areas of Ujjain. 300 women were asked comprehensively about their reproductive health via a semi structured questionnaire which comprised of domains from their menarche history to their menopausal history. Data was analyzed and chi square test was used to find factors influencing the reproductive health choices of women.Results: The median age of the participants was 30.8 years (IQR: 25, 36). Around 61% of the participants were aware of the family planning methods but only 29% of the participants used modern contraceptive methods. Age, educational background of participants, employment, partner education were all factors significantly (p<0.05) associated with the reproductive health choices of women.Conclusions: The reproductive health of   women was shown to be significantly associated with her education, her employment status, her age, and her partner’s education. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness among women, their partners and, the family members about importance of the reproductive health of a woman.
High rate of caesarean section in cases of intrauterine fetal demise in a low resource setting: Why?
Authors: Kothiyal Shivani , Agarwal Anjoo , Das Vinita , Pandey Amita , Agarwal Smriti
Published: August 2018

Background: Stillbirth as an obstetric complication is emotionally devastating for the women as well as the clinician and having a caesarean section for stillbirth is even more catastrophic. The aim of the present research was to study the indications of caesarean section in women with intrauterine fetal demise in a low resource setting.Methods: This was an observational study for assessing the indication of caesarean section among 222/ 550 stillbirths from June 2013 to May 2014 in a tertiary care teaching hospital of North India. 7024 births occurred in the institution over a period of 1 year out of which 550 were stillbirths. Stillbirths which weighed over 500 grams were included in the study. Details of women with intrauterine fetal demise in which caesarian section was done were noted and analyzed.Results: Out of 550 stillbirths, 222 women underwent caesarean section. Rate of caesarean section among women with stillbirth was 40.36%.  Placenta previa (23.87%), Rupture uterus (22.1%), obstructed labour (10.8%), transverse lie (9.45%), failed induction (7.20%), massive abruption (5.86%), non-progress of labour (5.40%), eclampsia/pre-eclampsia related causes (4.95%), acute fetal distress (4.95%), were leading indications of caesarean sections. Out of 222 women, 162 (73%) women had anaemia (Hb <11g%). Severe anaemia (haemoglobin less then 7gm/dl) was present in 51 cases (23%).Conclusions: Caesarean section done for intrauterine death in present study were mostly inevitable. Reducing intrapartum stillbirths by improving essential obstetric services will ultimately result in reducing caesarean section rates in stillbirths in developing countries. Further studies are needed both in developing and developed countries to strategize the management of intrauterine dead fetus to prevent such high rate of caesarean section.

Benzanthrone derivates are now widely used in many industrial and scientific applications as a dye for polymers and textiles. In biochemical, biomedical and diagnostics investigations benzanthrone dyes are used as a lipophilic fluorescent probe as many benzanthrone derivates demonstrate bright fluorescence and they have ability to intercalate between lipids of membrane. The aim of present research was to access the luminescence ability of benzanthrone derivatives using microscopic visualization of biological objects. Accordingly, specimens of freshwater trematode Diplostomum spathaceum, Diplodiscus subclavatus and Prosotocus confusus were stained by all novel benzanthrone dyes using different fixatives. The samples were examined by confocal laser scanning microscope. All dyes showed good results of digestive and reproductive system visualization. Based on obtained results we conclude that all benzanthrone dyes could be used for internal and external structure confocal laser scanning microscopic imaging of trematode specimens.
Bradykinin B2 receptor and dopamine D2 receptor cooperatively contribute to the regulation of neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells*
Authors: Niewiarowska-Sendo Anna , Łabędź-Masłowska Anna , Kozik Andrzej , Guevara-Lora Ibeth
Published: August 2018

Leukocyte adhesion to the vascular endothelium contributes to many immunological and inflammatory disorders. These processes have been shown to be mediated by bradykinin receptor type 2 (B2R) and dopamine receptor type 2 (D2R). In a previous study, we reported the formation of a B2R-D2R heterodimer, possibly altering cellular functions. Hence, in the present study, we examined the effect of co-activation of endothelial cells with B2R and D2R agonists on the interaction of these cells with neutrophils. Bradykinin, the main B2R agonist, significantly increased cell adhesion, and this effect was reversed when the endothelial cells were additionally co-treated with a selective D2R agonist, sumanirole. These results were dependent on the incubation time, showing an opposite tendency after prolonged stimulation. Significant changes in the expression of adhesion proteins, such as E-selectin and intracellular adhesion molecule 1 in endothelial cells were observed. Additionally, the cells preincubated with tumor necrosis factor-a showed decreased cell adhesion and IL-8 release after long incubation with both agonists. The modulation of cell adhesion by D2R and B2R seem to be mediated via STAT3 phosphorylation. In summary, this study demonstrated a protective role of D2R in neutrophil-endothelial cell adhesion induced by bradykinin, especially in cytokine-stimulated endothelial cells.
QUE CATEDRAIS DESENHAEM PENSAMENTO?
Authors: Garcia Cláudia
Published: August 2018

Por meio de construção de um diálogo acadêmico esse artigo visa uma abordagem sobre a importância do desenho na práxis e na formação do arquiteto. Defendo a ideia do desenho nos termos proposto por Artigas, cujo fundamento recai sobre o reconhecimento do desenho como desígnio, aquele que engendra a dimensão estética. Nesses termos, o desenho antecipa um significado além da representação do objeto a ser construído, graças aos atributos plásticos que podem vir a lhe conferir um valor artístico. Resgatar o entendimento do desenho como desígnio constitui um caminho que identifica a praxis e a formação profissional na Arquitetura como praxis artística. Portanto, uma formação critica e libertária. Da análise da composição depreende-se uma análise estética capaz de motivar a sensibilidade do fruidor. O futuro desenho, do projeto, nasce de uma reflexão crítica e deve considerar as necessidades do presente e as raízes passadas, com vistas a construção de um futuro. O objetivo é vislumbrar o compromisso da criação arquitetônica com o desenho, do ponto de vista da sua dimensão estética.
O ESPÍRITO DA ESTÉTICA
Authors: Derze Farlley
Published: August 2018

A Estética ganhou autonomia no iluminismo. A Estética se torna uma Disciplina que vem provocar a visão que os filósofos da época tinham não somente sobre a arte do passado, mas também sobre os artistas e suas obras. Cabe observar que uma "autonomia da Estética" não tem o mesmo significado de "autonomia da arte". A ideia de Estética, num senso moderno, diz respeito a uma arte que, para além de ser vista como uma atividade ligada a determinadas técnicas, passa a ser reconhecida também como atividade intelectual. Assim, a imitação da natureza ou imagens encomendadas não seriam mais consideradas a única finalidade do artista. Com a Estética, o artista, progressivamente, se liberta das tutelas teológicas, metafísicas, morais, sociais ou políticas, rumo a um caminho deliberdade criativa.
Del neoliberalismo al neodesarrollismo. Transformaciones en los modelos de producción y su influencia en el recurso pesquero Argentino
Authors: González Aira Edit
Published: August 2018

En este artículo se analizan los modelos de producción vigentes en la actividad pesquera argentina en los períodos 1989-1999 y 2003-2013, a la luz de los cambios en los modelos de producción que predominaron en Argentina en estos momentos históricos. Se analiza la construcción y consolidación de una de las dimensiones de dichos modelos, la extracción y utilización del recurso pesquero, a partir del caso del puerto de Mar del Plata, como un ejemplo de lo desarrollado a nivel país. Se utiliza una perspectiva metodológica cuantitativa, a partir de los datos oficiales del Ministerio de Agroindustria de la Nación Argentina. Se pudo observar una transformación en el patrón de acumulación desde el modelo neoliberal al modelo neodesarrollista con respecto al recurso pesquero del mar argentino, ya que a partir de esta etapa el calamar illex va en aumento, por lo que se prioriza aquel producto que genera mayor valor agregado por peso de pescado. A modo de conclusión, este trabajo busca mostrar las formas de producción que predominaron en cada momento histórico, cuál fue la estrategia para acumular riquezas y su relación con el recurso pesquero. Además se observa qué tipo de vínculo existió con las ideas de sustentabilidad ambiental y diferencial.
Lo cultural y lo turístico en guanacaste:¿un caso de co-producción o de co-destrucción?
Authors: Gisolf Marinus
Published: August 2018

El campo de tensión entre la cultura y el turismo es el tema del presente ensayo. A menudo la cultura sirve al turismo, mientras la situación idónea seria que el turismo está en función de la cultura, más que todo en el caso de la región de Guanacaste en Costa Rica. El presente artículo analiza la relación implícita y explícita entre la cultura y el turismo y con base en un estudio del caso del turismo en las playas de Guanacaste. Este trabajo busca demonstrar las oportunidades que existen para el desarrollo de un turismo basado en los rasgos culturales locales con participación activa de los turistas. Se realiza un acercamiento fenomenológico para describir la actividad turística y para desarrollar un esquema basado en el desarrollo de la actividad turística dentro del paradigma espacio-lugar. Un estudio del caso de la actividad turística en Guanacaste durante años recientes apunta a cambios en la relación entre la cultura y la actividad turística. El papel que juega la cultura en el turismo y su cambio en tiempos posmodernos desde la cultura “alta” de los museos hacia una cultura de la vida cotidiana, han llevado también a una reformulación hacia el papel que el turismo y los turistas pueden jugar en la cultura de una región.

Published: August 2018

Aim: To histologically evaluate dental follicles of impacted third molars with no radiographic evidence of pathology. Methods: We carried out both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of pericoronal follicles removed from impacted third molars and investigated the association with clinical data. The sample included 36 extracted dental follicles of impacted third molars, obtained from 28 patients, which presented with no radiographic evidence of pathologies. Results: None of the follicles analyzed showed any pathological entity. The epithelial lining was observed in 61.1% of samples, being identified as reduced enamel epithelium. We found a significant relation between the the presence of inflammatory infiltrate and the group aged over 21 years (64.3%; p<0.05). Conclusions: Considering the absence of pathological lesions, we suggest that impacted third molars should only be extracted in young-aged individuals due to specific pathologies or indications.

Published: August 2018

Aim: The objective of this study was to compare the efficiencies of different adhesive systems used to bond orthodontic brackets as well as the fracture pattern during debonding on bovine teeth. Methods: The sample included 45 specimens assigned to 3 groups according to the adhesive system applied: Group I: Transbond XT (3M Unitek®, Monrovia/CA -USA), Group II: Orthocem (FGM® Joinville/SC-BR), and Group III: Orthobond (Morelli®, Sorocaba/SP-BR). For this purpose, metal brackets were bonded to bovine teeth following the instructions from each manufacturer. The specimens were subjected to a shear test to assess bond strength (BS). Finally, after debonding, the adhesive remnant index (ARI) was estimated. Results: The average shear strength for a tooth bonded using the adhesive system Transbond XT was 16.39 MPa, while it was 18.08 Mpa for Orthocem and 7.28 Mpa for Orthobond; The Tukey test revealed no statistically significant differences between groups I and II (p < 0.01) and group III differed statistically from groups I and II. Conclusion: In conclusion, both adhesive systems Transbond XT and Orthocem attained higher bond strength values than Orthobond; the fracture pattern was similar for all adhesive systems applied.

Of this number, 153 did not want to participate in the clinical examination. Signals and symptoms were analyzed in 87 patients, and lesions were present in only 21, and a cytological complement of the lesions was performed. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 15.0 with Chi-square (χ2 ) test at p < 0.05. Results: The 21 patients presented oral candidiasis, with erythematous (prosthetic) stomatitis being the most prevalent. There was a correlation between the presence of Candida and the use of prostheses (p- value 0.00*). Candidiasis was associated with poorly adapted prostheses, poor oral hygiene, inadequate prostheses and prolonged use of them. Conclusion: There was a correlation between oral candidiasis and users of dental prostheses. The most prevalent type of candidiasis was erythematous stomatitis (prosthetic), and nystatin was used to treat all cases. The preventive activities carried out were extremely important, since patients were not aware of oral candidiasis and the factors that trigger it, such as poor oral hygiene and dental prostheses.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of artificial teeth to different types of denture base resins when submitted to thermomechanical cycling (TMC). Methods: Sixty artificial mandibular first molars (Trilux, Vipi) were randomly divided into 3 groups according to denture base acrylic resins (Vipi Wave, Vipi Cril, and Vipi Cril Plus, Vipi). The teeth were fixed onto self-polymerizing acrylic resin bars (0.5 cm2 cross-section x 2 cm height), and the set was included in a metal flask using dental stone/silicone. After the dental stone was set, the bar was removed, and the denture base resin was packed and processed according to the group studied (Vipi Wave: 180 W/20 minutes + 540W/5 minutes; Vipi Cril and Vipi Cril Plus: Water bath at 74ºC for 9h). After polymerization, the samples were divided into 2 groups (n=10), according to the TMC treatment received (simulation of 5 years of mastication or not). The samples were submitted to tensile bond strength test (1 mm/min), and the data (MPa) were statistically analyzed (2-way ANOVA, Bonferroni, α=0.05). The fracture interfaces were evaluated using a stereomicroscope (50x). Results: The bond strength results showed no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the resins studied. TMC was significant (p<0.05), demonstrating lower values for the bond strength of artificial teeth to Vipi Cril Plus. The predominant fracture type was cohesive in resin. Conclusions: It was concluded that there is no difference in bond strength between artificial teeth and the resins used for denture base. However, TMC decreases the bond strength values of artificial teeth and crosslink thermo-polymerizable acrylic resin.

Aim: To compare the reliability between photoelastic and finite element (FE) analyses by evaluating the effect of different marginal misfit levels on the stresses generated on two different implant-supported systems using conventional and short implants. Methods: Two photoelastic models were obtained: model C with two conventional implants (4.1×11 mm); and model S with a conventional and a short implant (5×6 mm). Three-unit CoCr frameworks were fabricated simulating a superior first pre-molar (P) to first molar (M) fixed dental prosthesis. Different levels of misfit (µm) were selected based on the misfit average of 10 frameworks obtained by the single-screw test protocol: low (<20), medium (>20 and <40) and high (>40). Stress levels and distribution were measured by photoelastic analysis. A similar situation of the in vitro assay was designed and simulated by the in silico analysis. Maximum and minimum principal strain were recorded numerically and color-coded for the models. Von Mises Stress was obtained for the metallic components. Results: Photoelasticity and FE analyses showed similar tendency where the increase of misfit generates higher stress levels despite of the implant design. The short implant showed lower von Mises stress values; however, it presented stresses around its full length for the in vitro and in silico analysis. Also, model S showed higher µstrain values for all simulated misfit levels. The type of implant did not affect the stresses around pillar P. Conclusions: Photoelasticity and FEA are reliable methodologies presenting similarity for the investigation of the biomechanical behavior of implant-supported rehabilitations.

Glaucoma is the ultimate commonly acquired optic neuropathy. It signifies a public health challenge since it causes an irreversible blindness. The single known treatment of the disease is decreasing of intraocular pressure (IOP), which has been revealed to lessen glaucoma progress in a diversity of large proportions of clinical trials. Herein in this literature, we briefly define the optical Renin Angiotensin system (RAS) signaling pathway and define the most essential components, physiological actions of major angiotensin peptides, and the Renin Angiotensin system blockers. And discuss the potential implications of their modulators as a new therapeutic target in glaucoma. The literature has shown that the individual RAS modulators including, Angiotensin converting enzymes 1(ACE1) inhibitors, Angiotensin converting enzymes 2 (ACE2) Activators, Angiotensin receptor-1 (AT-1) blocker, and renin inhibitors have a potentials role in modulation of aqueous humour homodynamic, by neuroprotection of the retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and acceleration of the aqueous humour outflow. In conclusion, RAS modulators have an imperious role in lowering IOP, these compounds will pave the approach for prospect innovation, improvement, and publicizing of novel drugs to treat glaucoma and therefore, aid save vision for millions of people suffering with this slow progressive optic neuropathy.
