Displacement and stress analysis of laminated composite plates using an eight-node quasi-conforming solid-shell element
Authors: Wang Yu , Shi Guangyu , Wang Xiaodan
Published: January 2017

This paper presents the efficient modeling and analysis of laminated composite plates using an eightnode quasi-conforming solid-shell element, named as QCSS8. The present element QCSS8 is not only lockingfree, but highly computational efficiency as it possesses the explicit element stiffness matrix. All the six components of stresses can be evaluated directly by QCSS8 in terms of the 3-D constitutive equations and the appropriately assumed element strain field. Several typical numerical examples of laminated plates are solved to validate QCSS8, and the resulting values are compared with analytical solutions and the numerical results of solid/solidshell elements of commercial codes computed by the present authors in which fine meshes were used. The numerical results show that QCSS8 can give accurate displacements and stresses of laminated composite plates even with coarse meshes. Furthermore, QCSS8 yields also accurate transverse normal strain which is very important for the evaluation of interlaminar stresses in laminated plates. Since each lamina of laminated composite plates can be modeled naturally by one or a few layers of solidshell elements and a large aspect ratio of element edge to thickness is allowed in solid-shell elements, the present solid-shell element QCSS8 is extremely appropriate for the modeling of laminated composite plates.
Facile surface hydrophobization of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) by silver deposition
Authors: Ji Xiaodi , Guo Minghui
Published: January 2017

A facile and effective method for the surface hydrophobization of medium-density fiberboards (MDFs) via the silver (Ag) mirror reaction has been investigated. The pristine MDF surface was treated with silver nitrate (AgNO3) and subsequently with glucose to reduce Ag ions into Ag particles, which led to dual-size surface roughness. The roughness and morphology of the Ag-coated MDF surface were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the elemental composition and the crystal structure of the surface were determined via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The wettability of the MDF surface was measured by contact angle (CA) measurements. The results indicated that pure Ag particles were successfully deposited onto the MDF surface without any impurities. The Ag surface coating was water repellent as indicated by a CA of 136°, which slightly decreased with time. The hydrophobicity was derived from the air trapped in the surface cavities and the dual-size roughness.
When, how and why? Regulated proteolysis by the essential FtsH protease in Escherichia coli
Authors: Bittner Lisa-Marie , Arends Jan , Narberhaus Franz
Published: January 2017

Cellular proteomes are dynamic and adjusted to permanently changing conditions by ATP-fueled proteolytic machineries. Among the five AAA+ proteases in Escherichia coli FtsH is the only essential and membrane-anchored metalloprotease. FtsH is a homohexamer that uses its ATPase domain to unfold and translocate substrates that are subsequently degraded without the need of ATP in the proteolytic chamber of the protease domain. FtsH eliminates misfolded proteins in the context of general quality control and properly folded proteins for regulatory reasons. Recent trapping approaches have revealed a number of novel FtsH substrates. This review summarizes the substrate diversity of FtsH and presents details on the surprisingly diverse recognition principles of three well-characterized substrates: LpxC, the key enzyme of lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis; RpoH, the alternative heat-shock sigma factor and YfgM, a bifunctional membrane protein implicated in periplasmic chaperone functions and cytoplasmic stress adaptation.
Glycogen storage disease type IX and growth hormone deficiency presenting as severe ketotic hypoglycemia
Authors: Hodax Juanita K. , Uysal Serife , Quintos Jose Bernardo , Phornphutkul Chanika
Published: January 2017

Background:

Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type IX and growth hormone (GH) deficiency cause ketotic hypoglycemia via different mechanisms and are not known to be associated. We describe a patient presenting with severe ketotic hypoglycemia found to have both GSD IX and isolated GH deficiency.

Case presentation:

A 3-year-and-11-month-old boy with a history of prematurity, autism, developmental delay, seizures, and feeding difficulty was admitted for poor weight gain and symptomatic hypoglycemia. He was nondysmorphic, with a height of 93.8 cm (2%, –1.97 SDS), and has no hepatomegaly. He developed symptomatic hypoglycemia, with a serum glucose level of 37 mg/dL after 14 h of fasting challenge. Critical sample showed a GH of 0.24 ng/mL. GH provocative stimulation testing was done with a peak GH of 2.8 ng/mL. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a hypoplastic pituitary gland. Given the clinical symptoms, suspicion for mitochondrial disease was high. Dual Genome Panel by Massively Parallel Sequencing revealed a hemizygous variant c.721A>G (p1241V) in the X-linked

Conclusions:

Given the patient’s developmental delays that were not explained by GH deficiency alone, further investigation showed two unrelated conditions resulting in deranged metabolic adaptation to fasting leading to severe hypoglycemia.
Three Conceptions of Group-Based Reasons
Authors: Woodard Christopher
Published: January 2017

Group-based reasons are reasons to play one’s part in some pattern of action that the members of some group could perform, because of the good features of the pattern. This paper discusses three broad conceptions of such reasons. According to the agency-first conception, there are no group-based reasons in cases where the relevant group is not or would not be itself an agent. According to the behaviour-first conception, what matters is that the other members of the group would play their parts in the relevant pattern, not whether they would have the cooperative intentional states constitutive of group agency in doing so. This paper argues against these conceptions and in favour of the powers-first conception, according to which what matters is that the members of the group have practically relevant powers.

Empty Selves and Multiple Belonging: Gadamer and Nāgārjuna on Religious Identity’s Hidden Plurality
Authors: Hustwit J. R.
Published: January 2017

The reaction to multiple religious belonging has been fraught with anxiety in the monotheistic traditions. Nevertheless, increasing numbers of people report belonging to multiple religions. I propose that it is most useful to think of multiple religious belonging not so much as an expression of choice, but just the opposite. Multiple religious belonging is best explained as the ontological condition of two or more religious traditions constituting the self, so that the self’s possibilities are constrained by those religions. Furthermore, I argue that multiple religious belonging per se does not threaten traditional religious communities. Threats are by definition future possibilities, and ontologically speaking, we always already belong to multiple religions. We belong to multiple religions because every religious tradition is an amalgam of earlier distinct traditions. There is nothing new about multiple religious belonging. It is nearly unremarkable. Two philosophers in particular-one a twentieth-century German phenomenologist, the other a second-century Indian Buddhist-have given particularly careful examination of the phenomenon of belonging. Hans-Georg Gadamer’s concept of Wirkungsgeschichte [history of effects] and Nāgārjuna’s teaching of śūnyatā [emptiness] both imply that multiple religious belonging is the ontological condition of all human beings, and that producing any monolithic religious identity requires significant mental gymnastics.
The Hellenistic Origins of Memory as Trope for Literary Allusion in Latin Poetry
Authors: Faber Riemer A.
Published: January 2017

The demonstrated Greek origins of Latin terms of allusion lead one to consider also a possibly Hellenistic background for the common figure of memory as signal of literary reference in Latin poetry. Tracing the models for terms of literary reminiscence in Republican and Augustan poetry to Callimachus and Apollonius in particular, this article demonstrates that memory as trope for literary allusion occurs in Hellenistic poetry, wherein several features and varieties of it anticipate later imitations. Focalized by the narrator as well as by internal characters, the trope of literary remembrance is employed in Hellenistic poetry to effect complex intertextual relations. The article concludes with two examples from Greek and Latin poetry of late antiquity that demonstrate the longevity of the device.
Steady flow and heat transfer analysis of MHD flow of Phan-Thien-Tanner fluid in double-layer optical fiber coating analysis with slip conditions
Authors: Khan Zeeshan , Islam Saeed , Shah Rehan Ali
Published: January 2017

Modern optical fibers require a double-layer coating on the glass fiber in order to provide protection from signal attenuation and mechanical damage. The most important plastic resins used in wires and optical fibers are plastic polyvinyl chloride, low- and high-density polyethylene, nylon, and polysulfone. One of the most important things that affect the final product after processing is the design of the coating die. In the present study, double-layer optical fiber coating is performed using melt polymer satisfying the Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluid model in a pressure-type die. The fluid is electrically conducted in the presence of applied magnetic field. Wet-on-wet coating process is applied for double-layer optical fiber coating. The assumption of fully developed flow of PTT fluid model, two-layer liquid flows of an immiscible fluid, is modeled in an annular die of length L, where the fiber is dragged at a higher speed. The equations characterizing the flow ad heat transfer phenomena are solved exactly and the effects of emerging parameters are shown with the help of graphs. It is interesting to remark that an increase in the non-Newtonian parameters increases the velocity in the absence or presence of slip parameters, which coincides with the results reported earlier. Also, the effect of important parameters such as Deborah numbers, slip parameters, magnetic parameter, characteristic velocity, radii ratio, and Brinkman numbers on the axial velocity, flow rate, thickness of coated fiber optics, and temperature distribution are investigated. Furthermore, the results were compared with the experimental results already published. To the best of our knowledge, no such analysis of the double-layer coating flows of PTT fluid using slip conditions is available in the literature. At the end, the result of the present work is also compared with the experimental results already published by taking λ → 0 (non-Newtonian parameter).

Authors: Ishchenko A. I. , Aleksandrov L. S. , Ishchenko A. A. , Hudoley E. P.
Published: January 2017

Objectives: According to different authors, the percentage of genital prolapse among gynaecological diseases that require surgical correction reaches 28−38,9%. Pelvic muscle wasting is a special kind of pelvic prolapse, often leading to cervical elongation and hypertrophy. Contemporary methods of treatment for this condition have the high rate of relapse― 8,9−22%, thus urging to improve the existing techniques. The purpose of this research was to estimate the effectiveness of novel modification of Manchester operation in comparison with classic Manchester operation in the management of pelvic prolapse with cervical elongation. Methods: We enrolled 83 patients with pelvic prolapse and cervical elongation and divided them into two groups. In GroupI (n=47) we used the novel surgical method, supplementing original Manchester procedure with cervical stump fixation and other improvements. In GroupII we used original Manchester procedure. We compared laboratory measures as well as surgery duration, blood loss, incidence of complications, and duration of post-operational hospital stay. Patients were followed-up for 2years to estimate long-term effectiveness of surgical intervention. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS 17.0.Results: Surgery duration in GroupII was significantly longer (47,8±26,2 vs 57,5±35,1 minutes, p0.05). There were no significant differences in lab tests, post-operational hospital stay (5,2±0,9 vs 7,3±1,2) and incidence of post-operational complications (3 vs 4 cases). Over the 2 years of follow-up we registered 1 case of relapse in Group I and 3 cases of relapse in Group II, thus estimating the effectiveness of surgery as 97,9 vs 91,7%, a non-significant difference. We noticed that all relapsed women had signs of systemic dysplasia of connective tissue.Conclusion: Suggested modification of Manchester operation improves duration of surgical intervention itself, while providing a comparable level of effectiveness.

Authors: Belyaeva I. A. , Namazova-Baranova L. S. , Bombardirova E. P. , Okuneva M. V.
Published: January 2017

Background: Inadequate nutrition supply during the period of intrauterine growth and the first year of life leads to persistent metabolic changes and provokes development of various diseases. Aims: Тo compare physical development, body composition, and hormonal status (insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), somatotropic hormone (STH), C-Peptide, cortisol) indices in premature infants born with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) at the term corrected age with the same indices in mature infants with IUGR and premature infants with weight appropriate for their gestational age (GA). Materials and methods: А crossover study of anthropometric measures, body composition and growth hormones changes assessment was carried out. It included 140 premature infants with weight appropriate for their GA, 58 premature infants with IUGR and 64 mature infants with IUGR. Anthropometric measures were assessed with Fenton and Anthro growth charts (WHO, 2009); body composition was studied with the air plethysmography method (РЕA POD, LMi, USA). Level of hormones in blood serum was assessed with biochemical methods. Results: It is found that anthropometric measures in premature infants with weight appropriate for their GA and premature infants with IUGR at the term corrected age did not have any significant differences while premature infants with IUGR tended to have lower weight. Studying body composition we found that both groups of premature infants had slightly higher level of fat mass in comparison with mature infants. High concentration of insulin, cortisol, IGF-1, and C-peptide was found in premature and mature infants with IUGR. Instead, lower levels of STH was found in infants with IUGR. Formula fed premature infants (comparing to breastfed ones) had higher levels of fat mass, insulin, IGF-1, and C-peptide. Mature infants with IUGR did not tend to have the correlation between levels of fat mass, insulin, IGF-1, C-peptide, and type of feeding. Conclusions: Not only insufficient intrauterine growth but also nutrition pattern plays important role in development of body composition disbalance and hormonal shifts in premature infants.

Authors: Novik G. A. , Khaleva E. G. , Bychkova N. V. , Zdanova M. V.
Published: January 2017

Background: The cow’s milk allergy (CMA) prevalence is 2−3% in children under one year. Approximately in 5% of cases transferring to extensively hydrolysed formula (eHF) doesn’t lead to disappearance of CMA symptoms. Aims: Evaluation of efficacy and safety of amino-acid formula (AAF) longterm feeding in children under one year and development of predictors of successful transfer from AAF to eHF. Materials and methods: In open-label prospective post-registration trial duration of 365 days were included 43 children aged from 3 to 12 months with CMA. CMA was based on Russian and international guidelines. When a patient was included in the trial, child received eHF for 4 weeks with the evaluation of the effect of elimination diet (ED): in case of absence of effect, for diagnostic purposes child feed with AAF for 2 weeks and upon receiving the effect, child continued to receive it for at least 6 months. Diet was considered effective if there were observed disappearance of clinical manifestations of CMA during of formula using. Results: Children fed with AAF gain weight and increased height statistically higher during the first 6 months, compared with children receiving eHF, but without subsequent difference in a year. After 4 weeks’ of AAF feeding, there was a significant decrease in SCORAD index from 46.84 (SD 4.164) to 2.52 (SD 2.204) (p=0.005); disappearance of gastrointestinal manifestations of CMA from 3 to 14 day. After 4 weeks, the 100% normalization of previously elevated faecal calprotectin (p0.05) was observed; and after 6months. ED, in 60% of children normalization of the index of activation of basophils with milk was observed. 38.7% of children were transferred to eHF in 6 months, 12.9% and 25.8% in 9 and 12 months respectively. Conclusions: Use of AAF for children with CMA is an effective and safe treatment without lengthening the period of elimination, which is necessary for the formation of tolerance to cow’s milk protein and has a positive impact on weight and height. Normalization of specific activation of basophils with milk could be considered as a predictor of successful transfer from AAF to eHF in children with CMA.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease. Liquid biopsy is a novel diagnostic tool and may provide answers to many questions related to unevenness in prognosis and ultimate outcome. Different technologies for CTC isolation, enrichment, detection, and characterization are under evaluation. Various clinical trials and meta-analysis have been conducted to define the role of CTC in early and metastatic breast cancer. CTCs are superior to other serum markers for prognostication. Their role as predictive marker remains elusive.

In this paper, dependencies of the angular and spectral selectivity on the incidence angle of the reference beam in a scheme for obtaining reflection and transmission holograms are obtained and analyzed. It is shown that for obtaining color holographic stereograms a scheme for obtaining transmission holograms is more suitable. While the angular selectivity of reflection and transmission color holograms is the same, the spectral selectivity of the reflection hologram is much higher at all wavelengths of recording. A method and equipment for one-step digital recording of color full-parallax holographic stereograms with rasterless image are developed. Samples of color full-parallax security holographic stereograms with a “flip-flop” effect in the image were obtained. The quality of the reconstructed image verifies high spectral selectivity for this type of holograms.

The paper presents a model of optical nonlinearity in a dielectric nanoсomposite for wavelengths ranging from 200 to 800 nm and intensities of up to 1000 W/cm2. Results of the numerical modeling of the optical response in a nanocomposite consisting of dielectric nanoparticles Al2O3 with low volume concentration (of the order of 0.3 %) embedded in a transparent dielectric liquid matrix are presented. It is found that with the volume concentration remaining unchanged, the value of nonlinear response in unit volume increases with decreasing nanoparticles size. The spectrum of the nonlinear extra term of the refractive index is shown to be affected by various parameters, such as the size and anisotropy of nanoparticles. It is notable that for 45-nm Al2O3 nanoparticles with 0.3 % volume concentration the value of the nonlinear optical response reaches 1.5·10–4 cm2/W near the resonant absorption band.

The paper deals with the development of information technology for early crop identification in the region of interest by using satellite images. With the early identification being performed in the first half of the growing season, it is characterized by the lack of ground-based and space-based data to configure recognition algorithms. The proposed technology allows one to generate a training dataset by using information from the past years and then use it for crop recognition for the current year. The technology consists of two stages. At the first stage, models of time series, crops and agro-seasons are built using data from the past years. At the second stage, data of the current year are processed. First, a suitable model of agro-season, which is close to the development of crops in the current year, is selected by using a tiny set of control fields with known crops. Next, a training dataset is generated based on the characteristics of the agro-season model and the recognition of crops in the current season is performed. The paper assesses the quality of recognition offered by the proposed information technology and the possibility of its application in a particular region. Data collected for the years 2011 -2015 in the Samara Region are used for the experimental research.

Sustained use in a relief-to-recovery household water chlorination program in Haiti: comparing external evaluation findings with internal supervisor and community health worker monitoring data
Authors: Wilner Lauren , Wells Emma , Ritter Michael , Casimir Jean Marcel , Chui Kenneth , Lantagne Daniele
Published: January 2017

After the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, an existing development program promoting household water treatment with chlorine rapidly expanded and provided relief to 15,000 earthquake-affected households. Initially, 157 community health workers (CHWs) distributed chlorine tablets; ten months later, CHWs began selling locally manufactured solution. The program was externally evaluated in March and November 2010; 77–90% of recipients had free chlorine residual (FCR) in household water. Internal monitoring by three supervisors and 157 CHWs also began in 2010. We analyzed results from 9,832 supervisor and 80,371 CHW monitoring visits conducted between 2010 and 2014 to assess: whether success continued in the rehabilitation phase; internal data validity; and factors impacting adoption. In 2010, 72.7% of supervisor visits documented total chlorine residual (TCR) comparable to external evaluation results. TCR presence was associated with certain supervisors/CHWs, earlier program year and month (in 2014, supervisor visits TCR presence dropped to 52.1%), living in plains (not mountainous) regions, and certain calendar months. CHW visits recorded 18.1% higher TCR presence than supervisor visits, indicating bias. Our results document a program with sustained (although slightly declining) household chlorination use, provide insight into validity in internal monitoring, and inform discussions on the value of linking successful development programs to emergency relief, rehabilitation, and development.

Introduction:
Dengue virus (DENV) is a serious global health problem. CYD-TDC (Dengvaxia
®
) was the first vaccine to gain regulatory approval to try and address this problem.
Aim:
Summarize all available evidence on the immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of the CYD-TDV dengue vaccine.
Method:
Meta-analysis and systematic review.
Results:
The best and worst immunogenicity results were for DENV4 and DENV1, respectively. Vaccine efficacy of 60% was derived from studies with participants aged 2–16 years old, with DENV4 and DENV2 presenting the best and worst results, respectively. Erythema and swelling were more frequent with CYD-TDV. No differences were detected for systemic adverse events.
Conclusion:
CYD-TDV showed moderate efficacy in children and adolescents. From the immunogenicity results in adults, we can expect satisfactory efficacy from vaccination in this population.

Produção Habitacional na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza na década de 2000: avanços e retrocessos
Authors: Freitas Clarissa Sampaio , Pequeno Luis Renato Bezerra
Published: January 2017

O crescimento da informalidade urbana brasileira tem sido entendido como subproduto da pouca atuação do Estado na política habitacional, aliada a um mercado imobiliário concentrado nas camadas de alta renda. Entretanto, a partir de meados da década 2000, aumenta-se significativamente o volume de recursos federais para a provisão habitacional de baixa renda, gerando novos mercados habitacionais. Para contribuir com as análises sobre os efeitos socioespaciais desta mudança, este artigo questiona em que medida ela favoreceu o acesso ao espaço urbanizado pela população de baixa renda na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza. Utilizando-se de sistema de informações geográficas, entrevistas semiestruturadas e dados secundários, identifica-se um descolamento entre os investimentos em habitação e as diretrizes de inclusão contidas na política urbana local. Se, por um lado, amplia-se a produção formal para as rendas inferiores, por outro lado, o não enfrentamento da questão fundiária põe em risco a possibilidade de contenção da informalidade urbana.
Metropolitan ungovernability
Authors: Compans Rose
Published: January 2017

Although most of the population already live in metropolitan areas, in the Brazilian legal framework, there is still no appropriate legal ruling for managing these territories. The federal pact resulting from the Federal Constitution of 1988 established that it was at the prerogative of the states to create metropolitan regions, urban agglomerations and micro-regions, but did not attribute sufficient powers to them so they could conduct public functions of common interest (FPICs, in Portuguese), given the municipal autonomy likewise granted by the Constitution. In no other aspect does this legal conflict appear more evident than in territorial organization, since virtually all the instruments for the control of land use are of exclusively municipal competence. The purpose of this article is to discuss the possibilities of smoothing the way to an understanding on the limits of local autonomy in conurbations, thereby subordinating the “local” interest to the common interest, with regard to the regulating urban occupation. Therefore, we start with a brief analysis of the 1973 Law which set up the first metropolitan areas in Brazil, and thereby seek to identify advances and retrograde steps that the Constitution represented in relation to the division of powers between federal entities with respect to land management. Then, we investigate the role that post-1988 federal law reserves to metropolitan bodies in organizing, planning and carrying out FPICs in order to catch sight of windows of opportunity to bring them into force with regard to regulating the use of land. Finally, we discuss if the Statute of the Metropolis, which has recently been approved, provides the legal framework needed to overcome the antagonisms that criss-cross metropolitan governance.
Uma nova segregação metropolitana: as periferias fractais – evidências encontradas na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte
Authors: Canettieri Thiago
Published: January 2017

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão a respeito da organização espacial da pobreza em uma nova forma de segregação. A pesquisa insere-se no contexto da discussão sobre o processo de exclusão social que determina, em razão de uma série de mecanismos que estruturam a metrópole contemporânea, a organização espacial da população em condição de pobreza. Utilizando a metodologia da linha absoluta para delimitação da pobreza, foi realizado o mapeamento da organização espacial da pobreza na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (RMBH). A partir disso, constatou-se que a RMBH passou a ter uma forma mais dispersa no território, com uma urbanização mais fragmentada e desconexa, com a consequente produção de uma nova periferia metropolitana.
Urban planning instruments for promoting social interest housing: from zoning to obligatory percentages in São Paulo, Brazil, in dialog with Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Santoro Paula Freire
Published: January 2017

One of the major challenges for urban planning in Latin America is to provide low-income families with housing in areas that have an infrastructure and a good supply of jobs and services, thereby promoting diversity and equity, translated by mixing classes, races and social cohesion. This mission becomes increasingly difficult in a neoliberal capitalist context which transfers the task of providing land and housing for low-income families to the market and where the logic of such actions is based on achieving more rent from land and consequently of the holding of real estate becoming more profitable. This paper sets out to discuss two proposals for urban instruments that dialog with the production of housing through the market and guarantee of the right to the city. The first centered on the reserve of land for the production of social interest housing (HIS, in Portuguese) in the zoning by creating Special Social Interest Housing Zones (ZEIS, in Portuguese), spread throughout Brazil, and described here based on the experience of São Paulo. Or else, comparatively, classifying land to be used as a priority for social housing (vivienda de interés prioritário) widespread in Colombia, and here presented by the Bogota experience. There is another, which already has international experience and has recently been debated in Brazil, which consists of conceiving of the promotion of social interest housing policies based on the regulation of urban restructuring but experiences of this are rare in Brazil. These may be termed as inclusive housing policies. As a result, this article points out that the creation of alternative regulations has set the tone for the market to exclude itself  from producing housing of social interest, and guarantees greater profitability to commercial undertakings.
Práticas culturais como insurgências urbanas: o caso do Squat Kunsthaus Tacheles em Berlim
Authors: Seldin Claudia
Published: January 2017

Este artigo aborda o tema da “insurgência” através da análise de práticas culturais que emergem como resistências aos crescentes processos de “culturalização” do espaço urbano. Partindo do princípio de que a criação e a venda de imagens de cidade dominam o campo do Planejamento Urbano contemporâneo, propomos investigar alguns casos que atuem contra essa tendência, com foco no recorte espacial de Berlim. Apresentamos um breve histórico das insurgências urbanas na capital alemã – hoje tida como um dos exemplos emblemáticos de “cidade criativa”, tão em voga no início do século XXI. Atenção especial será dada aos squats berlinenses, especialmente ao Kunsthaus Tacheles. Apesar de serem apropriados pelo marketing urbano oficial – que visa à construção de uma imagem de cidade alternativa e atraente aos profissionais criativos –, os squats sofrem negativamente com a gentrificação. Como consequência, veem-se obrigados a criar modos verdadeiramente criativos para garantir seu direito à cidade.

Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a percepção das mães de crianças com diagnóstico de sífilis congênita acerca da doença. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo exploratória-descritiva dos casos de sífilis congênita no ano de 2013, realizada no município de Sobral-CE, desenvolvida pelo grupo tutorial do Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde - Vigilância em Saúde (PET-Saúde/VS). Os dados foram coletados através de estudos dos prontuários e entrevista semiestruturada, e esta foi analisada através da técnica da categorização temática de Minayo (2008). Pôde-se observar a falta de conhecimentos das mães acerca da doença, influenciada pela baixa escolaridade e o baixo índice econômico, além do déficit de orientação por parte dos profissionais, fazendo com que ocorra o tratamento inadequado. Portanto, acreditase que a orientação de um profissional de saúde para as gestantes com sífilis, principalmente sobre os riscos que as crianças correm ao se infectarem com o Treponema pallidum, pode proporcionar diminuição dos dados revelados nesta pesquisa.

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o impacto da intervenção multiprofissional em grupo no tratamento de mulheres com excesso de peso. Foi realizado estudo de intervenção não controlado de caráter quantitativo com mulheres que apresentavam sobrepe so ou obesidade, submetidas a um grupo coordenado por equipe multiprofissional que associou o aconselhamento nutricional, o exercício físico e ações da psicologia voltadas para a motivação e mudança comportamental por um período de 12 semanas. Foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas e dietéticas mediante Questionário de Frequência Alimentar antes e após a intervenção, além de um questionário relacionado às mudanças alcançadas e a satisfação com o grupo. Para a análise estatística foi utilizado o teste t de Student, considerando o nível de significância menor que 5%. Após a intervenção houve redução significativa (p<0,001) do peso, circunferência da cintura e Índice de Massa Corporal. Foram observadas também mudanças importantes nos hábitos de vida como o aumento do nível de atividade física, aumento do consumo de fibras e a redução do sal, alimentos industrializados, açúcares e frequência do consumo de carnes vermelhas. Em relação à adesão, 55% dos participantes não finalizaram o programa, como justificativa da não adesão a falta de tempo foi a razão mais citada pelos desistentes. Conclui-se que a intervenção multiprofissional em grupo constitui uma importante estratégia no tratamento do sobrepeso e obesidade, pois consegue trabalhar os diferentes aspectos que envolvem o excesso de peso, contribuindo para a mudança de hábitos de vida e redução dos fatores de riscos associados.

Objetivou-se verificar a efetividade no acolhimento desenvolvido nas Unidades de Atenção Básicas do Paraná, cadastradas no Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica. O estudo realizado foi descritivo e quantitativo, a partir do banco de dados fornecido pelo Departamento de Atenção Básica/Ministério da Saúde, que continham informações de 998 profissionais entrevistados, no segundo semestre de 2012. Destacou-se que 78,3% dos entrevistados afirmaram que esse processo existe e está implantado na Unidade de Atenção Básica e 51,8% informaram ter recebido capacitação para realizar o acolhimento, sendo que 68,2% realizam o atendimento de acolhimento à demanda espontânea com avaliação e classificação de risco e vulnerabilidade e 74,3% dos enfermeiros estão envolvidos na atividade do acolhimento. Verificou-se que o acolhimento é uma prática habitual no processo de trabalho da Atenção Básica à Saúde no estado do Paraná, destacando-se o profissional enfermeiro nesta atividade. É importante considerar a necessidade de educação permanente que envolva todos os profissionais da atenção básica com o propósito de obter resultados mais expressivos, para o acesso aos serviços e à saúde da população paranaense.
