La ménéghinite des gisements de Saki et de Gouskhalat (Iran)
Authors: Burnol Lucien , Picot Paul , Pierrot Roland
Published: November 2018

Deux nouveaux gisements de ménéghinite sont décrits. Le minéral a tout d'abord été déterminé dans le gisement de plomb de Saki situé à une quarantaine de kilomètres d'Arak, dans une minéralisation constituée essentiellement de galène et de cérusite, avec blende, pyrite, chalcopyrite, covelline et cuivre gris. La ménéghinite a été également reconnue dans le gisement de Gouskhalat, à une vingtaine de kilomètres de Khunsar. Ce gisement est localisé dans une tache ferrugineuse provenant de l'altération de la sidérose et situé dans la chaîne calcaire de Kuh-i-Khunsar. Le minerai essentiel est la galène avec un peu de blende, pyrite et chalcopyrite. La ménéghinite est en inclusions dans la galène avec tennantite et bournonite. Les inclusions sont généralement de l'ordre de 0,2 à 0,5 mm ; fortement pléochroïque, la ménéghinite apparaît légèrement en relief par rapport à la galène. Les courbes de pouvoirs réflecteurs sont fournies ainsi que le diagramme de poudre. L'analyse à la microsonde électronique a permis de confirmer que le cuivre est bien un constituant du minéral.
Le massif granitique du Tarraouadji, République du Niger. Étude et signification pétrogénétique des principaux minéraux
Authors: Fabriès Jacques , Rocci Georges
Published: November 2018

Le Massif du Tarraouadji est un complexe annulaire de granites alcalins qui fait partie de la province des « younger granites » de l'Ouest africain. Son étude géologique et pétrographique a fait l'objet d'une prédédente publication. Les principaux minéraux et notamment les feldspaths, les biotites et les amphiboles sont maintenant décrits.

Les feldspaths de tous les faciès étudiés correspondent à des microperthites du type sanidine˗anorthose ou orthose, tandis que dans certains granites apparaissent tardivement des albites et des microclines. Les biotites, toutes très ferrifères, se répartissent en deux groupes : les unes, brun˗rouge, caractérisant les granites perthitiques, sont des annites ; les autres, verdâtres, typiques des granites albitiques et des greisens, sont des sidérophyllites. Les amphiboles sont soit des hastingsites dans les granites les plus anciens, soit des arfvedsonites riébeckitiques.

Les minéraux ainsi déterminés s'intègrent dans des paragenèses indiquant des conditions de cristallisation définies qui sont discutées.

Par comparaison avec des granites alcalins d'autres régions, on peut tirer des conclusions quant à la formation et l'évolution des massifs granitiques annulaires se traduisant par de très sensibles modifications minéralogiques lors des phases terminales (albitisation, oxydation, greisenification, etc.) qui marquent une accentuation du caractère pegmatitique. Enfin, le gisement subvolcanique de ces granites se trouve confirmé.
La briartite, Cu2(Fe,Zn)GeS4, une nouvelle espèce minérale
Authors: Francotte J. , Moreau Jules , Ottenburgs Raoul , Lévy Claude
Published: November 2018

Un nouveau sulfure de germanium, cuivre et fer, a été découvert dans le minerai de la Mine Prince Léopold à Kipushi (Katanga). Sa composition chimique, obtenue à la microsonde électronique (3 analyses) correspond étroitement à la formule Cu₂(Fe, Zn)GeS₄ et en fait l'équivalent germanifère de la stannite. Son diagramme de poudre, très voisin de celui de la chalcopyrite, a pu être indicé dans le système quadratique, avec comme paramètres : a = 5,32 et c = 10,51 Å.

Sa couleur en sections polies est grise, nettement différente de celles de la germanite et de la renierite. Les courbes de dispersion des pouvoirs réflecteurs ont été établies. Le nom de « briartite » est proposé en l'honneur de Gaston Briart.

Published: November 2018

We present a detailed analysis of the absorption properties of one of the tidal gas streams around the “Whale” galaxy NGC 4631 in the direction of the quasar 2MASS J12421031+3214268. Our study is based on ultraviolet spectral data obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and 21cm-data from the HALOGAS project and the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). We detect strong H i Lyα absorption in the velocity range +550 to +800 km s−1 related to gas from a NGC 4631 tidal stream known as Spur 2. We measure a column density of log (N(H i/cm−2)) = 18.68 ± 0.15, indicating that the quasar sightline traces the outer boundary of Spur 2 as seen in the 21 cm data. Metal absorption in Spur 2 is detected in the lines of O i, C ii, Si ii, and Si iii in a complex absorption pattern that reflects the multiphase nature of the gas. We find that the average neutral gas fraction in Spur 2 toward 2MASS J12421031+3214268 is only 14%. This implies that ionized gas dominates the total mass of Spur 2, which then may comprise more than 109
M
☉. No significant depletion of Si is observed, showing that Spur 2 does not contain significant amounts of dust. From the measured O i/H i column density ratio, we determine an α abundance in Spur 2 of

solar ([α/H] = −0.90±0.16), which is substantially lower than what is observed in the NGC 4631 disk. The low metallicity and low dust content suggest that Spur 2 represents metal-deficient gas stripped off a gas-rich satellite galaxy during a recent encounter with NGC 4631.

This paper presents the detailed abundances and r-process classifications of 126 newly identified metal-poor stars as part of an ongoing collaboration, the R-Process Alliance. The stars were identified as metal-poor candidates from the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) and were followed up at high spectral resolution (R ∼ 31,500) with the 3.5 m telescope at Apache Point Observatory. The atmospheric parameters were determined spectroscopically from Fe i lines, taking into account

non-LTE corrections and using differential abundances with respect to a set of standards. Of the 126 new stars, 124 have [Fe/H] < −1.5, 105 have [Fe/H] < −2.0, and 4 have [Fe/H] < −3.0. Nine new carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars have been discovered, three of which are enhanced in r-process elements. Abundances of neutron-capture elements reveal 60 new r-I stars (with +0.3 ≤ [Eu/Fe] ≤ +1.0 and [Ba/Eu] < 0) and 4 new r-II stars (with [Eu/Fe] > +1.0). Nineteen stars are found to exhibit a “limited-r” signature ([Sr/Ba] > +0.5, [Ba/Eu] < 0). For the r-II stars, the second- and third-peak main r-process patterns are consistent with the r-process signature in other metal-poor stars and the Sun. The abundances of the light, α, and Fe-peak elements match those of typical Milky Way (MW) halo stars, except for one r-I star that has high Na and low Mg, characteristic of globular cluster stars. Parallaxes and proper motions from the second Gaia data release yield UVW space velocities for these stars that are consistent with membership in the MW halo. Intriguingly, all r-II and the majority of r-I stars have retrograde orbits, which may indicate an accretion origin.
Professional Image and the Nursing Uniform
Authors: Daigle Alaina
Published: November 2018

Background:

Traditional nursing uniforms have evolved and influenced nursing image, but professional image in nursing is unique and unclear. Institutional policies dictate uniform and appearance standards that portray professionalism in health care environments.

Method:

Nurses were questioned using three structured open-ended questions about the nursing uniform and its effects on patients' perceptions of professionalism. Qualitative line-by-line analyses of transcribed data were conducted to identify emerging themes using van Manen's phenomenology.

Results:

Participants wore varying uniforms while in nursing school. The influences of uniform evolution on patients' perceptions of professionalism were acknowledged along with current challenges in maintaining a professional image in nursing.

Conclusion:

Findings will be used for future exploration of the concept of professional image to improve educational practices that promote a professional work environment and professional image for the discipline. [

Karst Types in Bulgaria
Authors: Angelova Dora
Published: November 2018

Kras v Bolgariji obsega 26 170 km2 oziroma 22,7 % celotnega ozemlja. Kraški vodni viri so ocenjeni na 2,3 milijarde m3 , kar predstavlja 11,6 % vseh vodnih virov v državi. Zanimanje za bolgarski kras se je povečalo v zadnjih letih zaradi reševanja vsakdanjih vprašanj. Za ta kras je značilna velika raznolikost zaradi prepletanja različnih dejavnikov (geoloških, tektonskih, geomorfoloških, hidroloških in hidrogeoloških, klimatskih, itd.) in skladno z geodinamičnim razvojem tega dela Evrope. Pričujoče delo predstavlja novo delitev krasa v Bolgariji. Avtorica loči sledeče tipe: ravninski kras (Donavska nižina), morski kras, v ravninskega spremenjeni morski kras in ravninsko-morski kras (Črnomorska podvodna in kopna ravnina); planotasti kras (Predbalkan) in gorski kras. Posebej obravnava kraška močvirja in kraške pojave, ki so jih povzročili potresi v geološki preteklosti. Kot primer so predstavljeni tudi modeli različnih tipov krasa, njihov nastanek, dinamika, vpliv kamninske strukture, medsebojni odnosi, itd.The karst in Bulgaria occupies an area of 26 170 km2 or 22.7 % of the territory of the country. The karst water resources are estimated to be 2.3 billion m3 or 11.6 % of the total water resources of the country. The interest in karst in Bulgaria has become higher during the last years because there are a number of practical problems that have to be solved. Karst in Bulgaria is characterized by great diversity due to the complex combination of factors (geological, tectonic, geomorphologic, hydrological and hydrogeological, climatic, etc.) and to the geodynamic development of this part of Europe. This work presents a new zoning of karst in Bulgaria. The following types have been distinguished: plain karst (the Danubian Plain); marine and transformed marine karst into plain and plain-marine karst (Black Sea subaqual and subareal plain); plateau-like karst (the Fore Balkan) and mountainous karst. The karst wetlands and karst phenomena provoked by paleoearthquakes are separately outlined and sample models for the different karst types, genesis, dynamics, lithostructural control, relations, etc. are presented.

Članek obravnava povezavo med korozivno močjo prsti in skalnimi oblikami v apnencu. V ta namen so vzorcem iz različnih škrapljiπč, drugih oblik kraškega površja in vrtač v Severni Angliji, določili pH in delež karbonatov. Rezultati meritev so potrdili, da so oblike pod kislo prstjo globlje in da prisotnost apnenca močno zvišuje pH prsti.The goal of the research was to verify the connection between the solutional power of soil and the shape of rocky features in limestone. Soil samples from runnels, grikes, foot of pavements, top of limestone, grass patches and dolines were collected on limestone pavement areas of North England and examined for the pH and carbonate content. The results of the measurements proved that the soils with lower pH are related to deeper solution features and that proximity to limestone causes a higher soil-pH.
Geological Conditions - Factor of Origin of Two Different Cave Systems in Two Adjacent Valleys (the Demänovská Valley and the Jánska Valley, the Low Tatras, Slovakia)
Authors: Marušin Milan
Published: November 2018

Demänovská dolina ja najznamenitejša kraška dolina v severnem pobočju Nizkih Tater. V dolini je poznan 30 km dolg jamski splet Demänovská jama. Podobna je sosednja, Jánska dolina, v kateri je ducat jam, ki skupno merijo preko 30km. Morfološki in hidrološki pogoji v obeh dolinah so podobni, jamski sistemi pa močno različni. Demänovská jama je v celoti razvita na vzhodni strani Demänovske doline, medtem ko so jame v Jánski dolini razvite na obeh straneh te doline. Demänovska jama jo enoten, vseskozi prehoden jamski sistem, medtem ko sistem jam v Jánski dolini med seboj ni povezan s prehodnimi rovi. Oba jamska sistema sta razvita v gutensteinskih apnencih. Avtor pipisuje razliko med jamami v obeh dolinah različnim strukturno geološkim pogojem. Demänovská dolina leži v območju monoklinale Krížňanskega pokrova, Jánska dolina pa v območju ChoËskega pokrova z zelo zapleteno tektonsko zgradboThe Demänovská Valley is the most famous karst valley in the northern slopes of the Low Tatras. There the DemänovskáCave system is developed more than 30 km long. The similar karst valley, the Jánska Valley with dozens of underground karst phenomena is situated ten kilometers to the east. The total length of these caves exceeds 30 km. The geomorphological, hydrological, and karst conditions of these two valleys are similar; nevertheless there are several outstanding differencies between two cave systems developed in them. The whole of the Demänovská Cave system is developed within the eastern slope of the DemänovskáValley. On the contrary in the Jánska Valley significant caves are situated on both sides of the valley. Besides this difference the Demänovská Cave system is penetrable through the whole of its length whereas cave system of the Jánska Valley is not penetrable although connection of the underground spaces was proved by various methods. The described state is caused by different geological conditions in these valleys. Both cave systems are developed mostly in the Middle Triassic Gutenstein Limestones. But the Demänovská Valley is situated in the area which is built by monocline of the Krížňanský nappe. In the territory of the Jánska Valley there is the Chočský nappe which is tectonically very complicatedly framed.
Karst and vaucluse springs from the Polish Tatra Mts. Results of long-term stationary investigations
Authors: Barczyk Grzegorz
Published: November 2018

Kraški (vokliški) izviri, ki dovajajo vodo iz kraško-razpoklinskega sistema, so nastali z razvojem krasa na tem ozemlju. To so obenem glavni vir hidrografskih podatkov o preučevanem kraškem ozemlju. V Tatrah na Poljskem že dolgo poteka zvezno opazovanje površinskih in podzemeljskih voda. Skupina prof. D. Małecka je sredi 70-tih let zastavila opazovalno mrežo z vodomeri vzdolž najpomembnejših tatranskih vodotokov prav do izvirov in z opazovalnimi mesti na največjih izvirih oziroma vokliških izvirih. Vodomere so večkrat mesečno odčitavali opazovalci (običajno uslužbenci Tatranskega narodnega parka). 1998 je Nacionalni odbor za znanstvene raziskave odobril triletni projekt z naslovom “Ugotavljanje zadrževalnih sposobnosti in hitrost denudacije na krasu poljskih Tater na podlagi opazovanj vokliških izvirov”. Skladno s tem projektom so bili novembra in decembra 1998 nameščeni avtomatski limnimetri na izbrane (pet) vokliške izvire.Karst (vaucluse) springs, transporting water from fissure-karst systems, result from karst development in the area. At the same time, they are the main source of information on the hydrography of the investigated karst area. Continuous monitoring of groundwaters and surface waters in the Tatra Mountains in Poland takes place for a long time. In the mid-70-ties, the team of Prof. D. Małecka organized an observation network, with water marks along the main Tatra streams right to their outlets from the massif, and with observation points of the largest springs and vaucluse springs. Readings from water marks were collected several times each month by the observers (usually Tatra National Park employees). In 1998 the National Committee for Scientific Research approved a three-year research project entitled: ˝Determination of retention abilities and the dynamics of denudation in the karst areas of the Polish Tatra Mountains basing on stationary investigations of vaucluse springs˝. In accordance with this project, between November and December 1998 automatic limnimeters were installed in selected vaucluse (five) springs.
Early Electric Lighting in Caves - Postojnska jama, Slovenia, 1883-1929
Authors: Shaw Trevor R.
Published: November 2018

Po prvih poizkusih 1863 so Postojnsko jamo prvič električno razsvetlili 1883, ob obisku cesarja Franca Jožefa. Najprej so poizkušali z različnimi močnimi svetili (“apnenčeva” luč 1852, plinske svetilke 1878), vendar se zanje niso odločili. Stalno električno razsvetljavo so vpeljali 1884, kot tretjo na svetu. Najprej so namestili 12 obločnic, kasneje pa so razsvetljavo razširili. “Izboljšan” sistem so namestili 1901, vendar je pogosto zatajil in so ga morali nadomestiti z drugim 1906. Popolnoma nov sistem so namestili 1929. V prispevku so popravljene napake iz prejšnjih objav, vsebuje pa tudi podatke, ki so prvič objavljeni.After some preliminary attempts in 1863, electric lighting was first used in Postojnska jama in 1883 for a visit by Emperor Franz Joseph. Alternative forms of bright light (lime-light in 1852, gas light in 1878) had been considered but not adopted. The permanent electric installation of 1884 was the third anywhere in the world. Its 12 arc lights were increased in later years. An ˝improved˝ system was fitted in 1901 but failed so often that it was replaced in 1906. An extensive new system was fitted in 1929. Errors in previous literature are corrected and much information published for the first time.
Development of the Underground Railway System on the Example of Postojnska jama
Authors: Čuk Alenka
Published: November 2018

Dolgoletno vprašanje udobnejšega in hkrati lažjega obiska Postojnske jame je bilo rešeno leta 1872, ko so po jami položili prve tire. Pot po jami ni imela ne velikih vzponov, niti ne velikih padcev, zato so se odločili da bo vozove po jami “človeška moč gonila”. Po letu 1900 je zanimanje za obisk Postojnske jame skokovito narastlo. Uprava Postojnske jame se je trudila izboljšati in “lajšati promet” v jami, poleg tega pa je, upoštevajoč želje in potrebe obiskovalcev, skrbela za vedno večje udobje slednjih. Kljub vsemu, pa mala ročna železnica ni več ustrezala potrebam tedanjih obiskovalcev. Prve poizkusne vožnje z lokomotivo so opravili med aprilom in junijem 1924. Aprila 1957 so pri Postojnski jami stare dotrajane lokomotive zamenjali z dvema novima, akumulatorskima.The problem of making visits to Postojnska jama more comfortable and easier was solved in 1872 when the first railway was put in the cave. The path through the cave did not have many ascents or descents; therefore it was decided that the carriages in the cave could be ˝driven by manpower˝. After 1900 interest in visiting Postojnska jama increased. The Board of Postojnska jama constantly improved and ˝facilitated the cave traffic˝ and took care of the utmost comfort of the visitors. For all that, the small, manually operated railway was becoming less and less appropriate. The first test-drives with a locomotive were performed between April and June 1924. In April 1957 two new locomotives with batteries replaced the old, worn-out ones.
Street Work: Dynamics and Trajectories of Collective Organizing
Authors: Lindell Ilda
Published: November 2018

Street workers may engage in multiple forms of agency. This paper conceives of such forms in terms of a continuum where some forms may evolve into others, dissolve or revert to previous ones. Closer attention is given to the dynamics and trajectories of street workers’ organizations, which vary widely and are poorly understood. In particular, the paper addresses the prospects for and limitations of transformative and sustained collective organization among street workers. Both external and internal processes influencing the dynamics of street workers’ organizations are examined, such as the economic and political context of associations, the nature of their relations with political elites, the governing powers of associations, the nature of their leadership, and who they represent and exclude. This paper enquires into what accounts for demobilization, regression and political disengagement. It also explores whether participation in wider associative networks and collaborations can help overcome some of the fragilities of street workers’ associations, promote their sustainability and broaden their visions. The discussion draws upon literature addressing collective organizing among street workers in a wide range of urban contexts in Africa and the global South.
The impact of stroke on people living in central Uganda: A descriptive study
Authors: Kamwesiga Julius T. , Von Kock Lena K. , Eriksson Gunilla M. , Guidetti Susanne G.E.
Published: November 2018

Background: Knowledge about perceived impact of stroke on everyday life as well as rehabilitation needs after stroke in Uganda is necessary to identify and develop rehabilitation interventions.Objectives: To explore and describe clinical characteristics and functioning during the acute or subacute phase and chronic phase, as well as the impact of stroke on everyday life during the chronic phase in stroke survivors in central Uganda.Method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on a consecutively included acute or subacute (n = 58) sample and a chronic (n = 62) sample. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect demographic information and clinical characteristics. The Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) was used to collect clinical characteristics, assess neurological impairment and define stroke severity. The Barthel Index was used to assess the level of dependence in activities of daily living. In addition, the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) 3.0 Uganda version was used to assess the impact of stroke in everyday life as perceived by the individuals in the chronic sample receiving rehabilitation.Results: The mean age of the acute/subacute sample was 49 years and 81% had moderate or severe stroke. The mean age of the chronic rehabilitation group was 53 years and 58% had mild stroke. Time since onset in the acute sample was between 2 days and 3 weeks, and time since onset for the chronic sample varied between 3 months and 3 years. Strength, hand function and participation were the most impacted SIS domains in the chronic sample.Conclusion: People with severe and moderate stroke were more likely to be admitted to Mulago Hospital. The mean age in the study sample was lower than that in high-income countries. Further knowledge is needed regarding the impact of stroke to develop guidelines for stroke rehabilitation interventions feasible in the Ugandan healthcare context in both rural and urban areas.
Formar en competencias en la universidad: entre la relevancia y la banalidad
Authors: Ruè Joan
Published: November 2018

Este texto nace de la preocupación con que es observado el proceso de introducción de las denominadas “competencias” en el diseño de las nuevas propuestas curriculares y formativas en la Educación Superior , en nuestro país. Dicha preocupación es abordada desde una perspectiva amplia de lo que implica y lo que no implica aquel concepto, además de considerar algunos de los factores involucrados en el proceso de su concreción en las diversas titulaciones. La tesis del texto, ilustrada en el mismo título, es que mientras una determinada concepción de las competencias y de su modo de implementarlas puede incrementar el grado de relevancia de la formación universitaria, otra forma de concebirlas y de entender el proceso de su desarrollo en los nuevos planes de formación, puede acabar, cuando menos, en un clamoroso ejercicio de irrelevancia.

Este documento pretende sugerir algunos puntos para la reflexión y el diálogo.
The Potential Role of Psychosocial Rehabilitation in Palliative Care
Authors: Almada AL , Casquinha P , Cotovio V , Santos MJ Heitor dos , Caixeiro A
Published: November 2018

Palliative care is an approach to incurable and/or severe disease with limited prognosis, aiming to relieve the suffering and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The existence of psychopathology is common in patients undergoing palliative care, and psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression and anxiety, are frequent and often underdiagnosed. This work constitutes a review of the literature and a reflection on the potential role of psychosocial rehabilitation in mental health in palliative care. Psychosocial rehabilitation may play a role in the mental health of patients undergoing palliative care, contributing to the minimisation of symptoms, support in daily life activities, the improvement of quality of life and the preparation for death.
Use of An Accreditation Process to Embed Uk-Equivalent Core Medical Training in An International Context
Authors: Black D
Published: November 2018

Background

The Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB) on behalf of the Federation of the three Royal Colleges of Physicians started a process of implementing UK-equivalent Core Medical Training internationally in 2014. An accreditation process was developed to ensure that training standards were at least equivalent to the current position in the UK and that a developmental process was embedded to ensure long-term program viability.

Methods

This paper describes developing the appropriate standards, the types of accreditation being offered and the process of a full accreditation visit.

Results

The outcomes and learning from the first three accreditation visits, two visits to Iceland and the first to Kochi in Kerala, India, are described. Significant improvement over time has been demonstrated in Iceland as well as very high standards of training in Kerala.

Conclusions

The accreditation process is providing early evidence that UK-equivalent Core Medical Training can be delivered successfully in different international contexts. The findings emphasise the importance of externality as part of effective governance. Partners need to be carefully chosen with a high degree of commitment to the process of both implementation and ongoing development. Longer term evaluation will need to consider other dimensions, such as exam results, and trainee and trainer satisfaction.
Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza Glabra): The Journey of the Sweet Root from Mesopotamia to England
Authors: Lee MR
Published: November 2018

Liquorice is a very ancient plant widely used in the East for millennia. It has often been employed in sweets and confectionery and also for minor ailments including cough, constipation and dyspepsia. It was probably carried to Europe by the Cluniac order of monks. Then, almost by accident, it became established in West Yorkshire at Pontefract after the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s. Abuse of liquorice is not uncommon. It can occur in the anorexia/bulimia syndrome and also in the dangerous condition of pseudoaldosteronism, which is characterised by severe hypertension and hypokalaemia and can lead to death. Liquorice remains a useful sweetener for all sorts of confectionery, including sweets and cakes (together with beer and liqueurs).
Sais inorgânicos no controle em pós-colheita de Penicillium digitatum (Pers.) Sacc. em laranja
Authors: Brunetto Anderson Eduardo , Dorneles Keilor Da Rosa , Muller Cassio , Dallagnol Leandro José
Published: November 2018

O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação dos sais inorgânicos cloreto de potássio (KCl), hidróxido de potássio (KOH) e silicato de potássio (K2O3Si) sobre laranja no controle do bolor verde causado por Penicillium digitatum. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições, cada uma composta por vinte frutos. Os frutos foram lavados, desinfestados e feridos com uma agulha (2-3 mm de profundidade), após 24 h foram tratados com os sais inorgânicos ou água destilada (controle) e 2 h após, inoculados por meio da deposição de 15 µL da suspensão de esporos de P. digitatum. Às 96, 120 e 245 horas após a inoculação (hai) foram realizadas as avaliações de incidência do bolor verde, taxa da expansão da lesão, tamanho da lesão e da área esporulante. Às 245 hai, entre os sais, o KOH e o K2O3Si foram os mais efetivos, afetando todas as variáveis avaliadas, reduzindo a incidência da doença em 80% e 36%, respectivamente, quando comparados à testemunha. Contudo, o tratamento com o KOH afetou a qualidade visual dos frutos, ocasionando enrugamento e desidratação da casca. Desse modo, conclui-se que, entre os sais inorgânicos testados, o K2O3Si (50 g.L-1) apresentou redução no bolor verde sem comprometer a qualidade visual do fruto, podendo ser incluído como uma medida complementar no manejo da doença.

Published: November 2018

Após o desfecho de uma eleição presidencial histórica que consagrou Donald Trump como 45º presidente dos Estados Unidos, muitos cientistas políticos voltaram a analisar toda a trajetória da candidatura dos presidenciáveis para entender o que levou as pesquisas de opinião a apontarem um resultado diferente. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho busca explorar os acontecimentos desse pleito desde o lançamento das candidaturas nas primarias, sob a ótica da teoria da espiral do silêncio da Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann e conceitos adjacentes, buscando interpolar o papel da mídia, o perfil do eleitorado e a influência desses fatores na opinião pública desta eleição.

O artigo focaliza o vídeo de animação “Assim é ser criança”, do Mundo Bita, cujas exibições acontecem na rede social Youtube. O objetivo do estudo é analisar, a partir dessa animação, o papel do jogo de faz-de-conta nas criações infantis. Criatividade, ludicidade e produção cultural são alguns traços exibidos pelos personagens infantis no vídeo em questão nesse artigo e servem como reflexão para que professores repensem suas práticas pedagógicas no intuito de valorizar o protagonismo das crianças em suas aulas. No processo de análise, utiliza-se o método semiótico proposto por Charles Sanders Peirce, em diálogo com a Sociologia da Infância e com os Estudos do Cotidiano, para interpretação dos signos e na desocultação dos sentidos propostos pelos criadores desse material audiovisual.
História, ciência ou romance? O tema das identidades no futebol brasileiro
Authors: Ferreira Daniel
Published: November 2018

Já há algum tempo, uma percepção de crise vem se manifestando no campo das ciências humanas e, por consequência, no campo historiográfico acerca do status de ciência para História de uma forma geral. Trata-se de uma questão de cunho epistemológico e que, assim sendo, repercute e desafia historiadores como um todo, independente das especificidades do seu objeto. O objetivo central deste artigo é problematizar o campo de estudos históricos envolvendo identidade e futebol que se desenvolve no Brasil, a luz daquele diagnóstico de crise. Para tal, parte-se de uma breve apresentação da referida crise, destacando a proposta historiográfica de Jörn Rüsen como forma de superá-la. Na sequência, a partir de uma dada escolha bibliográfica, apresenta-se um panorama geral sobre estudos, no Brasil, envolvendo o tema das identidades no futebol. Finalmente, conclui-se o artigo com alguns apontamentos e a possibilidade do uso da teoria elisiana na escrita da história do esporte.

Objetivo: Identificar o uso do Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ), nas pesquisas qualitativas produzidas no âmbito dos programas de pós-graduação da área da saúde no Brasil. Métodos: Os métodos empregues implicaram a realização de uma scoping review, em que se analisaram dissertações e teses produzidas, no âmbito dos programas de pós-graduação da área da saúde e que se configuravam como pesquisas qualitativas, com uso do IRAMUTEQ. Resultados: Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva simples. Os resultados indicaram uma amostra final que consistiu em 54 pesquisas. Verificaram-se certas inconsistências no uso do IRAMUTEQ, tais como as seguintes: mencionar o do IRAMUTEQ como técnica de análise de dados; utilizar pouco ou limitado volume textual; e usar a Classificação Hierárquica Descendente, mesmo com a quantidade de retenção do texto inferior ao recomendado. Tais elementos precisam de ser adequadamente considerados pelo pesquisador, com o objetivo de se produzir análises de dados confiáveis e fundamentadas. Conclusão: Poder-se-á afirmar que o quantitativo de investigações que utilizaram o IRAMUTEQ foi crescente ao longo dos anos e, portanto, um tal software tem sido incorporado nas pesquisas qualitativas da área da saúde produzidas no âmbito dos programas de pós-graduação brasileiros.

Objectives

To determine the incidence and factors associated with median neuropathy at the wrist (MNW) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients using an electrodiagnostic (EDX) study.

Material and methods

SSc patients who attended the scleroderma clinic, Srinagarind Hospital, were prospectively evaluated by questionnaire, physical examination, and EDX study. The questionnaire consisted of the baseline characteristics, type of scleroderma, clinical signs and symptoms associated with scleroderma, and the Boston questionnaire. The physical examinations were the Modified Rodnan Skin Score, motor power grading of bilateral abductor pollicis brevis muscle, and pinprick sensation of median nerve distribution of both hands. Moreover, the EDX study, which was composed of median and ulnar sensory and motor nerve conduction studies of both hands and electromyography of the abductor pollicis brevis muscles, was evaluated at baseline and following two years.

Results

Out of 75 systemic sclerosis patients, 50 individuals participated in the study. Diffuse cutaneous type of SSc is the most common type (72%). The common SSc associated symptoms were Raynaud phenomenon, skin tightness and hand deformity. Incidence of MNW was 90 cases per 1000 person-years. Following a two-year interval, the percentages of mild, moderate and severe MNW were 28%, 22% and 6% respectively. Most of those with MNW were still particularly asymptomatic in a mild degree. Moreover, 12 out of 50 patients (24%) had a worse EDX result. There was no statistically significant association between MNW occurrence and studied factors.

Conclusions

MNW commonly has high incidence in SSc patients. Therefore, SSc patients should be followed up in both clinical and EDX studies for MNW screening. SSc patients with asymptomatic MNW might need clinical follow-up for early diagnosis.
Antimalarials – are they effective and safe in rheumatic disease? Focus on the neuropsychiatric side effects
Authors: Manzo Cirro
Published: November 2018

Neuropsychiatric manifestations are uncommon adverse events in patients with rheumatic diseases, when treated with chloroquine (CQ) or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).
This possibility is related to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier ; in the brain, they have a tissue concentration up to10-20 times higher than the plasmatic one.
A great variety of neuropsychiatric side effects was referred to CQ/HCQ; in some cases, they caused the patient' s hospitalization or death.
Personal previous psychiatric symptoms, family history, female gender, alcohol intake, co-exposure with some drugs ( including low doses of glucocorticoids) , a dose >6.5 for HCQ and >3 mg/kg/day for CQ, are the most important risk factors.
No difference between older and younger patients was found but polypharmacology and age-related renal impairment, can increase the risk in older ones.
Differential diagnosis between pharmacological side effects and neuropsychiatric manifestations of the rheumatic disease is mandatory.

Darbo tikslas: išanalizuoti sveikatos priežiūros pas­laugų kokybę pacientų požiūriu Vilniaus miesto li­goninės kardiologijos centre.

Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Anketinė apklausa. Im­tis – 200 pacientų. Vertinti pacientų lūkesčiai ir įspū­džiai apie ligoninės kardiologijos centre teikiamas sveikatos priežiūros paslaugas.

Statistinė duomenų analizė atlikta naudojant kompiu­terinės programos statistikos paketą „SPSS 13.0“ ir Microsoft Office Excel 2007 programą.

Rezultatai ir išvados. Apklaustieji aukštais balais vertino lūkesčius ligoninės atžvilgiu. Vyrų lūkesčiai materialinių vertybių, ligoninės patikimumo, darbuo­tojų jautrumo, pacientų saugumo ir darbuotojų em­patijos atžvilgiu buvo mažesni nei moterų (p<0,05). Apklaustųjų amžius reikšmingai teigiamai susijęs su lūkesčiais darbuotojų empatijos atžvilgiu ir visais įspūdžiais apie ligoninę. Aukštesnis išsilavinimas susijęs su mažesniais lūkesčiais ligoninės materia­linių vertybių, patikimumo ir darbuotojų jautrumo atžvilgiu ir prastesniais įspūdžiais apie materialines vertybes ir ligoninės darbuotojų jautrumą. Nustatytos koreliacijos (p<0,01) tarp tiriamųjų lūkesčių ligoni­nės atžvilgiu ir įspūdžių apie ligoninę, lūkesčiai buvo didesni nei įspūdžiai (p=0,0001).
ORGANIZUOJANTI PNEUMONIJA. KLINIKINIS ATVEJIS

Published: November 2018

Organizuojanti pneumonija (OP) - intersticinė plau­čių liga, kuriai būdingas ribotoje plaučių dalyje arba keliose atskirose vietose mezenchiminių proliferatų susidarymas alveolėse. Sergamumas šia liga nėra aiškus. OP gali būti nežinomos kilmės (kriptoge­ninė) arba susijusi su kita liga ar patologine būkle (sukelta medikamentų, toksinų, uždegiminių autoi­muninių ligų, navikų, radioterapijos ir kt.). Ligos simptomai nespecifiški, gali pasireikšti subfebriliu karščiavimu, sausu neproduktyviu kosuliu, dusuliu. Dažnai klinikinė eiga lengva, retesniais atvejais pro­gresuoja dusulys, kvėpavimo funkcijos nepakanka­mumas. Radiologiniai OP požymiai įvairūs – aiškių ribų plaučių pritemimai (sutankėjimai) skirtinguose segmentuose ar skiltyse. Diagnozė patvirtinama mor­fologiškai ištyrus bronchoskopinės plaučių audinio biopsijos metu gautą medžiagą. Lengvais ligos atve­jais gydymas neskiriamas. Sunkesniais atvejais OP gydoma gliukokortikosteroidais (prednizolonu ar metilprednizolonu), tačiau simptomai išnyksta bei rentgeniniai pokyčiai dažnai visiškai rezorbuojasi tik per kelis mėnesius.
El terrorismo de los “lobos solitarios” en la literatura y la prensa española (2010-2015). Un análisis retórico-argumentativo de su construcción discursiva
Authors: Gutiérrez-Sanz Víctor
Published: November 2018

El escritor norteamericano Don DeLillo, en un breve ensayado titulado En las ruinas del futuro, explica que ante el terrorismo internacional las sociedades amenazadas deben crear una “contra-narrativa” mediática que se oponga a los discursos del terror. En este artículo, se parte de esta idea y se analizan dos muestras discursivas de dicha “contra-narrativa” (una literaria y otra periodística) con el objeto de comprender e interpretar las estrategias retóricas (tropológicas, narratológicas y argumentativas) utilizadas en España a la hora de construir socio-discursivamente el fenómeno de los “lobos solitarios”. Los resultados del estudio revelan que la definición teórica propuesta para este fenómeno es incompleta, por lo que se hace necesario una reaproximación al fenómeno atendiendo a su construcción retórico-argumentativa.

Nowadays it is notorious that technology is part of our life, and it is being drastically evolving along the years. New forms of audiovisual medias are constantly being develop, nevertheless teaching methods still reaming the same as the ones that were approached before the advances of technology. These new technologies could transform the way we teach by creating interactive platforms in practical disciplines offered in technical and engineering courses that would not only improve the quality of teaching but also would enhance students learning process and reduce costs of laboratories. In this context, this work aims to present an alternative resource in the area, a virtual learning object and virtual laboratory with remote access that increases quality of classes by creating an immersive experience that is close to reality, and allows students to actually interact and test the knowledge acquired. The main goal was to provide remote access to the automation laboratory and to safely execute practical experiments. To being with, an environment consisting of a 3D model of the ARM-7220-4 robot arm was developed, containing the majority of the robot movement functions as well as mechanical, geometric and kinematic of the real robot arm, and granting its access through Moodle platform to students of CEFET-MG – Campus Leopoldina. The hardware, are composed by a real robot ARM-7220-4 that is connect to the virtual tool, and responds to the commands sent by the student through the virtual environment, and a camera is also connected, allowing the real-time monitoring of the physical laboratory. To evaluate the work, a teaching practice was proposed, consisting on movement of the robotic arm through tasks on order to validate the knowledge acquired through bibliographic didact sources, addressing theoretical aspects. Final results of the experiments with students from the campus that have tested the complete system showed that the learning object is a promising resource for distance learning courses.
