Virtuel psychique et numérique… : d’une psychanalyse des organisations limites
Authors: Tordo Frédéric
Published: July 2017

Nous abordons les problématiques limites sous l’angle de leur incapacité à accéder à la position de sujet. C’est la réflexivité – ou en psychanalyse l’ « auto-empathie réflexive » – qui est mise en défaut : le sujet n’est pas un vrai sujet. Il ne s’agit pas seulement de la réflexivité dans l’ici et maintenant, mais également celle, « virtuelle », qui permet de se penser dans un futur proche ou éloigné. C’est en effet le virtuel psychique qui paraît largement contrarié dans les organisations limites. C’est pourquoi il semble important d’aménager le dispositif clinique pour créer un espace de réception de ce « non-advenu ». Or, justement, le numérique peut venir étayer le travail de l’analyste et de l’analysant, en créant un espace de réception de ce virtuel psychique. Nous l’illustrons par une vignette clinique.
Les arts contemporains et la transmission de la foi
Authors: Villepelet Denis
Published: July 2017

Cet article a pour contenu la leçon académique proférée par l’auteur lors de sa retraite universitaire le 13 septembre 2016. Il y traite du problème du lien possible entre l’action catéchétique et la pratique artistique contemporaine. Son analyse souligne la résonnance remarquable entre les vitraux de Pierre Soulages dans l’abbatiale de Conques et la théologie de la lumière de Denys l’Aréopagite. Il en induit que seul un processus catéchétique d’initiation peut faire entendre cette résonnance et montrer que l’art contemporain n’est pas complétement étranger à la foi à condition de ne pas nécessairement l’interpréter à partir de la tradition iconique de l’image chrétienne.
Preoperative risk evaluation in patients over 75 years candidates to non-cardiac and cardiac surgery
Authors: Boccanelli Alessandro , Faggiano Pompilio
Published: July 2017

In the 24th and 25thof June 2016, 80 national experts were invited to Rome from The Italian Society of Geriatric Cardiology and the Italian Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation to revise the current knowledge on the perioperative risk in the elderly. Cardiologists, geriatricians, heart and general surgeons and anesthesiologists discussed the topic with the objective of reaching a consensus and to launch observational research and registries in the field of perioperative risk evaluation in the elderly. The introduction of objective measures of frailty on top of traditional cardiac evaluation in the different surgical contexts could allow for a more precise definition of “surgical risk”, appropriate perioperative management and postoperative outcome.
The criteria of “inoperability”
Authors: Romagnoli Stefano , Paparella Laura , Boninsegni Paolo
Published: July 2017

In the literature, the term “inoperable” mainly refers to two specific clinical aspects: cancer staging and technical difficulty/impossibility in performing. In light of this clarification, the statement “the patient cannot be anesthetized” has no medical foundation. On the contrary, the physicians have to carefully stratify the perioperative risk and optimize the patients’ preoperative clinical status. In order to perform a precise risk stratification, the European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Anaesthesiology have joined and published the guidelines for the perioperative cardiovascular management of patients scheduled to undergo non-cardiac surgery. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) represents the most complete and accurate prediction tool so far. It includes 21 preoperative factors relating to demographics, comorbidities and procedures able to predict outcomes based on preoperative risk factors such as death, cardiac complications, pneumonia, and acute kidney injury. The present article will address aspects related to common aspects concerning modifiable and non-modifiable that should be addressed in every patient to whom elective surgery has been scheduled.  
Cardiovascular risk assessment in the senior population undergoing anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery
Authors: Tommasino Concezione
Published: July 2017

Older patients are underrepresented in major cardiovascular trials, and only relatively healthy elderly patients, with few comorbidities or functional impairments, have been enrolled. As a result, current guidelines are unable to provide evidence-based recommendations for anesthesia treatment of patients aged ≥75 years, undergoing non-cardiac surgical procedures. Effective strategies, aimed at reducing the risk of perioperative cardiac complications, should involve cardiac evaluation using mostly medical history. A key component is the evaluation of active or unstable cardiac conditions, surgical and cardiac risk factors, and functional capacity of the patient.
Patient at low cardiac risk, based on clinical features, functional status, and low-risk surgery, do not generally require further cardiac evaluation, and can be operated on safely without further delay. Additional preoperative testing is indicated in patients at intermediate risk, with poor or unclear functional status. Patients at high-risk based on clinical features, poor functional status, undergoing high-risk surgery may benefit from further evaluation with noninvasive/invasive stress testing. In case of emergency surgical procedures, patient or surgery-specific factors dictate the strategy and do not allow further cardiac testing or treatment.
Successful perioperative evaluation is best achieved by combining an integrated multidisciplinary approach, with good communication between the patient, anesthesiologist, cardiologist, geriatrician and surgeon.
Prognostic impact of frailty in elderly cardiac surgery patients
Authors: Vetta Francesco , Locorotondo Gabriella , Vetta Giampaolo , Mignano Maria , Bracchitta Sonia
Published: July 2017

Over the past few decades, the progressive aging of the population combined with the resulting increase in cardiovascular disease and the marked improvement of technologies applied to surgery justify the marked increase of the elderly patients requiring cardiovascular surgery. This claims a highly skilled perioperative management, which should be aimed at treating cardiac disease without increasing risk of hospitalization-related harmful events. Current preoperative assessment for cardiac surgery, such as the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (EUROSCORE II) and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk score, are limited in their ability to predict perioperative outcomes in older patients.  This is because patients’ chronological age should not be considered as the only tool to identify the surgical risk. In recent years, indeed, several studies have highlighted the role of frailty syndrome in determining the prognosis of elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Particularly, some functional aspects, such as gait speed seem to have a high sensitivity and specificity in this regard. Therefore, further research is needed in order not only to identify a unique, fast and easy to use tool aimed to recognize frailty syndrome, but chiefly resulting able to give us information about the effectiveness of focused preoperative interventions. Finally, we need to have scientific data on the role that surgical, percutaneous and transcatheter procedures have on outcome in elderly patients in terms of perioperative mortality, postoperative quality of life and regarding the possible reversibility of frailty. Cardiovascular surgery is to date a “moving target”, due to changing face of patients and changing face of technical requirements and perioperative management should reflect such changes. 
Automated method for SAR-based water-mask derivation
Authors: Beauchemin M , Decker V , Tolszczuk-Leclerc S
Published: July 2017

We describe an automated method for water mask extraction from RADARSAT images. The method is specifically designed to localize image areas where conditions are best for the optimum application of automated thresholding algorithms. The approach is rooted in a
split-based technique, successfully exploited elsewhere, to derive a global thresholding value from the selection of a few local tiles. The method further incorporates a region growing mechanism to locally improve the waterline boundary position. It also includes an adaptive algorithm for small land
patches conditional reclassification. The algorithm was applied to 18 RADARSAT images and careful visual inspection of the results shows good agreement with results obtained manually by experienced operators using a traditional threshold approach.
Attention: Are you eating salad? or is salad eating you!
Authors: Al-Aoud Mohamed , Amar Najat
Published: July 2017

A 30-year-old man presented with progressive pain in the lumbar area of two years duration. It radiated to the right buttock and leg with numbness in the right anterior thigh and dorsum of the foot. The pain did not improve substantially with conservative therapy (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy). All symptoms were aggravated by standing, walking, and lumbar flexion, and were relieved by lying down. MR imaging of the dorsal spine showed a sharply marginated round mass expanding the 8th thoracic vertebral body resulting in moderate stenosis of the spinal canal. Signal within the lesion on T1-weighted images was hypo-intense with hyper-intense signal character in T2- weighted images containing multiple internal septations. Surgical excision was undertaken and the material was submitted for pathologic analysis. Histological examination confirmed it was a hydatid cyst. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, with complete resolution of symptoms.
Comparison of peripheral blood versus bone marrow blasts immunophenotype in pediatric acute leukemias
Authors: Almarzooqi Saeeda , Crumbacher Jill , Firgau Edward , Kahwash Samir
Published: July 2017

Due to continued improvement in molecular and immunodiagnostic methods, more leukemia subtypes are being defined and diagnosed by their genetic and immunophenotypic profiles rather than by morphologic features alone. These advances, while relegating morphologic review and bone marrow (BM) blast counts to a lesser relevance, have elevated expectations of a full diagnostic work up using any specimen containing blasts, regardless of BM blast status. In some clinical situations, the pathologist is often asked to render a complete diagnostic and prognostic work up of leukemia on a peripheral blood (PB) sample, due to poor specimen quality or blast yield in a BM sample, with the intuitive assumption that PB and BM blasts, in the same patient and at a given point of time, are identical.

In an attempt to evaluate the immunophenotypic aspects of this assumption, we searched our records for cases of acute leukemia that had immunophenotyping of both PB and BM at the time of diagnosis, and found five cases: two acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and three acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases. Utilizing similar pre-analytical conditions and similar FC gating strategy, positivity of the blasts in PB vs BM for some commonly used markers was compared. Significant differences were seen in several myeloid, lymphoid, and platelet markers in all patients. This discordance may carry significant clinical implications.
Incisional hernia of elective midline caesarean section: Incidence and risk factors
Authors: Hasan Dahamsheh , Salayta Wasfi
Published: July 2017

The precise incidence of incisional hernia after midline cesarean section is unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and risk factors for hernia after elective lower midline caesarean section (CS). A prospective cohort study of 284 women for incisional hernia development after elective midline CS) was conducted at Prince Hashem Ben Al-Hussein hospital from April 2006 to December 2008. All patients included had a history of at least two previous CSs. Patients were divided in two groups: one study group consisted of women who had an incisional hernia and the control group consisted of women who had not developed an incisional hernia within two years post CS. Within the two groups, potential risk factors (age, body mass index, parity, number of previous cesareans, type of previous incision, chronic cough, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, low albumin, anesthesia type, postoperative fever and wound complications) were statistically analyzed with the development of incisional hernia. The two year hernia frequency was 5.6% .Independent risk factors of incisional hernia development included: increase in number of previous CSs, obesity, and wound complications. We concluded that this incidence was higher than previously estimated. Counseling on the family size for this group of women will reduce the chance for further CS with its associated risk. In addition, measures to reduce wound infections may reduce the incidence of incisional hernia following elective midline cesarean section.

Explosion inside the bladder occurring during transurethral resection is rarely recognized as a complication of endoscopic resection of bladder tumors. We report a case of intravesical explosion during an endoscopic resection of a bladder tumor. Damages to the bladder were minor. We discuss the possible causes of this complication as well as the different preventive measures. A focused review of the English literature is given.
A new perspective on HIV vaccine design: A viewpoint
Authors: Bagasra Omar , Pace Donald
Published: July 2017

The unsuccessful outcome of a number of vaccine trials in the quest to conquer HIV-1 demonstrates the difficulties inherent in fighting diseases that afflict our world, and the poor disproportionately, especially the developing nations. A quarter century has elapsed since AIDS became a recognized major threat to human health, yet the evergrowing volume of scientific data has failed to meet its prime objective, a cure for AIDS or an HIV prevention vaccine. This brief article suggests several intriguing possibilities for researchers to consider, including small RNA-based immunity, as they seek to find a vaccine for the HIV-1 infection that threatens not only individuals and families, but in some cases entire nations.
Anemia in chronic heart failure: A review
Authors: Faraj A , Houmsse M
Published: July 2017

Despite advances in chronic heart failure (CHF) medical and device therapy in recent years, CHF continues to be a syndrome associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Abundance of data suggests that anemia is prevalent in CHF. The pathophysiology of CHF-related anemia is complex and poorly understood. Earlier small trials demonstrated improvement in morbidity with use of erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESA) and parenteral iron but that was not supported by more recent large randomized trials. There is a concern regarding the safety of ESA. Small studies showed benefits from parenteral iron alone or combination with ESA. This was promising since parenteral iron is a relatively cheap therapeutic intervention to treat anemia in CHF patients. So far there are no clear recommendations regarding the treatment of CHF related anemia. The purpose of this article is to review the most recent epidemiology, pathophysiology, and therapeutic options for anemia in CHF.

The pattern of occurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma in Libya
Authors: Jaber Mohamed , Abu Fanas Salem
Published: July 2017

The objective of this study is to describe aspects of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in a cohort of hospital patients in Libya. The patterns of clinical presentation of oral squamous OSCC in 122 Libyan patients from 1979-2004 were retrospectively analysed. Men were affected more often than women with the average age at presentation 53 years. Just over half the patients had symptoms for more than six months prior to presentation. The tongue and floor of the mouth were the most commonly affected sites. In 30.3% of patients the OSCC presented as an ulcer, in 20.4% as a swelling, and in 19% as a white patch. The majority of the patients had stage III or IV disease when first examined. Nearly 80% of the patients were tobacco smokers. It was concluded that the pattern of clinical occurrence of OSCC in Libya was similar to previous reports from Western Europe and Asia. The results of the present study highlight the need for an appropriate strategy to prevent OSCC and reduce delays in the diagnosis and treatment of such disease in Libya.
Hand grip strength: An assessment criteria of upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders in Indian collegiate computer users
Authors: Koley Shyamal , Chawla Jasmine , Sandhu Jaspal
Published: July 2017

The purpose of this study was two-fold: first, to evaluate the anthropometric profile of Indian computer students and, second, to search the correlation of hand grip strength with other anthropometric characteristics studied.
Methods: Fourteen anthropometric characteristics; viz. height, sitting height, weight, BMI, knee height, thigh height, leg length, bi-trochantric diameter, waist and hip circumferences, percent body fat, percent lean body mass, hand grip strength (right dominant) and back strength were measured on purposively selected 208 Indian computer students (108 males,100 females) ages 18–25 years (mean 21.67 years, ± 1.61) collected from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. An adequate number of non-computer users (n = 208, 108 males,100 females, mean age 21.72 years, ± 1.69) were also collected as controls from the same location for comparison.
Results: One way ANOVA showed significant differences among the groups (p ≤ .001 - .000) in the variables studied, except the hip circumference, in computer students and controls. In Indian computer students, significant positive correlations (p≤ .05 - .01) were found in hand grip strength and height, sitting height, leg length, back strength (in both sexes), knee height (females only), weight, BMI, bi-trochantric diameter, waist circumference, hip circumference, % body fat and % lean body mass (males only).
Conclusion: Despite the higher BMI status, Indian computer students had both lower handgrip strength and back strength than their control counterparts, possibly linked to their poor physical activity in work stations.
The need for continuous change in pathology and medical laboratory services
Authors: Munro Roger , Wakeman Lisa , Salamat Ahmed
Published: July 2017

In most countries, pathology services have undergone a series of radical reforms, which have impacted on, moulded and manipulated the professions and the diverse set of occupational groups on which they rely. Reorganisation policies have placed considerable emphasis on the need for carefully planned change management and have highlighted the sensitive nature of stakeholder involvement in healthcare delivery of which laboratory medicine is a vital part. Approximately 70% of patient medical management decisions are based on scientific data generated within diagnostic laboratories as part of the healthcare pathway. Within the context of organisations, change presents three major problems, resistance, control, and power. Reform driven changes have led to changes in the work-based tasks and competencies of pathology staff and one strategy that healthcare providers employ to adapt to this dynamic environment is multi-skilling as part of a raft of changes aimed at reducing costs and improving performance, efficiency and competitiveness. This paper identifies the factors, which are crucial in directing the models of change which need to be adopted to deliver the most cost-effective services tailored to meet the needs of patients and the expectations of service users.

Published: July 2017

A 57-year-old female presented with recurrent episodes of right flank pain and fever. No pathogens were detected in urine cultures. Intravenous pyelography and computerized tomography revealed a poor-functioning right kidney with an upper pole cystic tumor. Barium meal showed a communication between the renal pelvis and the duodenum. A right nephrectomy was performed with repair of the fistula. Histological examination revealed chronic pyelonephritis with xanthogranulomatous reaction and cystic renal tumor. The patient remains well at seven year follow-up.
Even a single, remotely positive post-transplant alloantibody test correlates with increased chronic allograft nephropathy and graft loss after kidney transplantation
Authors: Pelletier Ronald , Hadley Gregg , Adams Patrick , Henry Mitchell , Yu Zhangsheng , Ferguson Ronald
Published: July 2017

Background: Chronic renal allograft loss is considered as immunologically mediated when donor-specific alloantibodies are detected. However, remotely detected alloantibodies with lack of detection more proximate to graft loss occurrence may obscure the humoral association with graft damage.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 609 patients multiply tested post-transplant for detectable alloantibodies and correlated their results with clinical outcomes.

Results: Most patients had no detectable post-transplant alloantibodies (Group 1, n = 393), some converted from nondetectable to detectable alloantibodies (Group 2, n = 97), some always had detectable post-transplant alloantibodies (Group 3, n = 69), and some demonstrated alloantibodies that subsequently became undetectable (Group 4, n = 50). The incidence of death-censored graft survival for Group 4 patients was similar to Group 2 and 3 patients, and greater than Group 1 patients. Further, interstitial fibrosis/tubularatrophy (IF/TA) free survival was significantly worse (p=0.018) for Group 4 versus Group 1 recipients. Also, Group 4 versus Group 1 IF/TA-free survival was worse when recipients were regrouped based solely on anti-HLA class II (p=0.006), but not anti-HLA class I (p=ns) antibodies.

Conclusions: Detectable anti-HLA antibodies, even remotely, post-transplant identifies recipients at greater risk for IF/TA associated graft loss when compared to patients without detectable alloantibodies.

Published: July 2017

Although thromboembolic events are well known complications of nephrotic syndrome, there are several unanswered questions relating to the nephrotic syndrome and thromboembolism such as the mechanism of thromboembolism and optimal diagnostic and therapeutic management strategies. We report on a case of a 26 year-old female with nephrotic syndrome, intracardiac thrombi, and evidence of embolization to brain and spleen. Diagnostic evaluation revealed a patent foramen oval with intracardiac thrombi. Despite adequate anticoagulation therapy, the left ventricular thrombus embolized into the spleen. However, with continued anticoagulation the patient had a satisfactory recovery and was released from the hospital with minimal neurologic deficit.
Vocal cord palsy: A very rare complication of radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism
Authors: Beshyah Salem , Al-Fallouji Hosam , Neave Farhad
Published: July 2017

Laryngeal palsy occurs extremely rarely after radioiodine therapy for Graves' disease. We describe a case of complete right laryngeal paralysis in a 73 year old man who received two conventional doses of radioiodine (15 mCi) 9 months apart. He presented one day after the radioiodine therapy with loss of voice, discomfort in the right side of his neck, dry cough and throat irritation. The pain disappeared in a couple of weeks but the dysphonia persisted. Direct laryngoscopy confirmed complete right vocal cord paralysis and imaging excluded other regional pathology. His voice improved progressively to full recovery by six months though the vocal paralysis persisted even at 12 months of follow up. The case reminds physicians that radioiodine therapy for Graves' disease may rarely cause complications that need timely recognition and treatment.

O nordeste brasileiro é rico em produtos culturais, a saber, música, repente e cordel. A Biblioteca de Obras Raras Átila Almeida (BORAA) possui folhetos dos primórdios da produção brasileira. Sua constante manipulação os deteriora em função de sua composição física delicada. Para salvaguardar e democratizar o seu acesso, desenvolveu-se projetos desde 2010 envolvendo tratamento técnico, digitalização e disponibilização desses cordéis, criando uma base de dados em ambiente de internet. Visando o seu aprimoramento, realizou-se estudo em outras bases brasileiras de cordel, a saber, Acervo Maria Alice Amorim, Acervo Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa e Centro Nacional de Folclore e Cultura Popular. A luz da Arquitetura da Informação (AI), na perspectiva da otimização do sistema de busca, o objetivo desse relato de experiência foi avaliar tais sites, sugerindo melhorias na interface da BORAA. A abordagem de análise foi a qualitativa com o uso de observação participante e registro em diário de bordo como instrumentos de coleta de dados. Como resultado do estudo percebe-se a necessidade de melhorias quanto à inserção de campos de busca de informação, ao impacto imagético e à construção de índices no site da BORAA. Percebe-se o quanto é fundamental o uso da AI como mecanismo de análise e de otimização das interfaces web com os seus usuários.
A trajetória da biblioteca universitária no Brasil no período de 1901 a 2010
Authors: Cunha Murilo Bastos da , Diógenes Fabiene Castelo Branco
Published: July 2017

O artigo mostra alguns dos caminhos que o Brasil percorreu na educação superior, especialmente em suas universidades e bibliotecas universitárias. Em 1901 foi elaborada a legislação sobre o funcionamento de bibliotecas ligadas aos institutos de ensino superior; mas um crescimento maior das universidades se deu apenas a partir de 1945, e, com ele, a criação de suas bibliotecas. A Reforma Universitária de 1968 baseou-se na teoria dos sistemas abertos, provocando impactos também nas bibliotecas que deveriam planejar seus serviços em relação aos objetivos da universidade. Em agosto de 1973, foi criada a Associação Brasileira de Bibliotecas Universitárias Brasileiras que, dentre outros objetivos visava estudar os problemas das bibliotecas universitárias com a finalidade de formular uma política nacional para seu desenvolvimento. Na década de 1980 essas bibliotecas foram alvo de uma política pública explícita e integrada por meio do Plano Nacional de Bibliotecas Universitárias no âmbito do Ministério de Educação. Aqui são ainda analisados o Programa PROSSIGA, o Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, as ações da Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações do IBICT e o Sistema Eletrônico de Editoração de Revistas. As bibliotecas universitárias brasileiras vêm se adaptando às mudanças das políticas globais de Estado, da educação superior, às mudanças tecnológicas, têm que conviver internamente com problemas de pessoal, redução de orçamento, realizar inovações nas atividades tradicionais e atender às novas demandas da universidade em relação ao seu papel pedagógico. O texto conclui apontando que a necessidade de ações governamentais de forma sistêmica ainda é um sonho para essas bibliotecas.

Published: July 2017

Collaboration in science has been studied from different perspectives. At a country level, it is important to determine whether international collaboration improves the quality and visibility of a nation´s output of papers. This study is part of a research work that seeks to map the characteristics of the scientific production of Brazil and Spain and the documents produced in collaboration between them. The objective of the analysis presented here was to establish the importance of collaboration for each country and of the vehicles used for publishing, by observing indicators for the first quartile and citations. The corpus of the research is comprised of publication records that contain at least one Brazilian and Spanish address in the author address field, from 2006 to 2012, in the Web of Science databases. Findings suggest that for Brazil, international scientific collaboration with Spain raises the number of articles published in Q1 journals. Therefore, the country should continue promoting this type of collaboration. For Spain, collaboration with Brazil is not reflected in impact. The increased number of agreements and the incentives given to projects in collaboration between the two countries could expand the quality and visibility of their output.

Postsäkulares Placemaking im oberpfälzischen Konnersreuth: Sakralisierung, Kulturerbe, Eigensinn
Authors: Funk Thomas P.
Published: July 2017

Abstract. The initiation of the beatification process of catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann of Konnersreuth/Bavaria (1898–1962) in February 2005 marks the beginning of the touristic marketing of her birth place in the context of EU-regionalization. In the case concerned, I argue, the Postsecular emerges in the evolution of new forms of EU-regional governance and in the controversial valorisation of a catholic popular cult as cultural heritage. I examine postsecular placemaking in Konnersreuth as a process, in which actors of the local civil society, the official church and the EU bureaucracy stage Therese Neumann by the valorisation of her material heritage, by sacralization and profanation. In doing this, actors renegotiate boundaries and transitions between the religious and the secular sphere, as well as between the regional, the global and the singular universality of grace. In their productions of space, local actors mediate between tourist and spiritual experiences of authenticity, between the popular demand for heritage and the awaiting for the religious event of grace. The postsecular, I argue, emerges in the insistence of parts of the local civil society to authorize the deceased Therese Neumann herself as an – though unwilling – supranatural actor in the placemaking process and in their legitimation of their own (un-)willingness to participate in the sacralization and touristification of their heritage with the will of the stigmatist. The article shows, how religious belief can play the role of a ressource as well as a disruptive factor in postsecular placemaking processes and neoliberal governing by community.

Objetivou-se avaliar a emergência, a fenologia e o crescimento e descrever o desenvolvimento morfológico de picão preto ao longo do ciclo biológico, visando auxiliar na compreensão de aspectos da habilidade competitiva e para um efetivo controle. Cipselas de três populações de picão preto ocorrentes em pomares de laranja, foram colhidas e semeadas em subsolo, em vasos mantidos em casa de vegetação. Avaliou-se a emergência e descreveu-se aspectos dos ciclos fenológico e morfológico, e foi determinado o crescimento relativo em altura e em diâmetro das plantas. A emergência foi maior na população 3 (52,9%), ocorrendo o surgimento do primeiro par de eófilos aos sete dias. A partir dos 25 dias surgiram metáfilos trilobados. O crescimento das plantas foi maior na população 3. Aos 70 dias surgiu a inflorescência terminal e a partir dos 80 dias podem surgir inflorescências laterais e frutificação iniciou-se após 86 dias, ocorrendo até os 152 dias. O controle das plântulas pode ser feito nos primeiros 20 dias e visando impedir a entrada de novas sementes no solo, pode ser feito até os 70 dias. As populações com maior emergência, crescimento e que estenderam seu período reprodutivo, apresentam maior habilidade competitiva

O comércio de mudas florestais para a recuperação de áreas degradadas e reflorestamento é crescente e demanda cada vez mais conhecimentos sobre práticas de manejo na produção de essências nativas, adequadas aos padrões ecológicos locais e à legislação ambiental vigente. Entretanto, a comercialização de mudas exóticas ainda é prática comum nos viveiros florestais, não existindo, para a microrregião de Juiz de Fora, MG, informações sobre os tipos de mudas comercializados nos viveiros florestais. Neste estudo foram levantadas as espécies florestais comercializadas em oito viveiros florestais no município de Juiz de Fora, MG, e que abastecem os projetos de reflorestamento na região. As espécies foram identificadas e categorizadas em nativas da Mata Atlântica ou exóticas. Foram encontradas ao todo 147 espécies. Destas, 64 (43,5% do total) foram exóticas, sendo encontradas, com grande frequência (>50%) entre os viveiros, englobando espécies frutíferas com perfil tipicamente comercial, como Psidium guaja), abacate (Persea americana), amora (Morus nigra) e cítricas – laranja, limão e tangerina (Citrus sp.). Também foram registradas algumas espécies consideradas de alto potencial invasor nas florestas Neotropicais, como o Jambo-rosa (Syzygium jambos), comercializada em metade dos viveiros analisados. A presente análise evidencia uma grande produção e comercialização de espécies exóticas de mudas florestais, utilizadas nos projetos de reflorestamento do município, o que não condiz com a legislação florestal vigente e ainda pode ser considerado como grande risco em potencial para invasão biológica.
Equinoides endocíclicos(Echinodermata:Echinoidea)Cretáceo Superior da Formação Jandaíra, Bacia Potiguar, Nordeste do Brasil-Equinoides endocyclic(Echinodermata:Echinoidea) of the Upper Cretaceous in the Formation Jandaíra, Potiguar Basin, Northeast Brazil

Foi realizada a revisão sistemática dos equinoides pertencentes às ordens Phymosomatoida e Arbacioida da Formação Jandaíra, Bacia Potiguar provenientes de três localidades fossilíferas. Para a ordem Phymosomatoida foram revisadas as espécies Rosadosoma riograndensis (Maury, 1925) e Phymosoma major Coquand,1862, e para a ordem Arbacioida, Goniopygus sp. As espécies Cyphosoma majus (Coquand, 1862) e Phymosoma tinocoi (Santos, 1960) foram consideradas sinônimas de Phymosoma major. Goniopygus sp. foi  transferida para  Goniopygus durandi Perón & Gauthier, 1881. A partir dos dados biométricos dos exemplares de Rosadosoma riograndensis e Phymosoma major foi verificado que o diâmetro da carapaça influencia de forma significativa a altura das carapaças, assim como o diâmetro do perístoma. Além disso, foram observados diferentes estágios ontogenéticos nos exemplares analisados. Na Formação Jandaíra, os equinoides endocíclicos tiveram seu registro do Turoniano ao Santoniano.
Estrutura populacional e brotamento de três espécies nativas do cerrado em diferentes regimes de queimadas - Population structure and budding three native cerrado in different fire regimes
Authors: Dos Santos Diniz Vania Sardinha , Franceschinelli Edivani Villaron
Published: July 2017

O presente estudo avaliou a influência de diferentes regimes de queimadas na estrutura populacional e número de rebrotas de três espécies de Cerrado (Roupala montana Aubl., Stryphnodendron adstringens (Mart.) Coville e Rourea induta Planch.). O estudo foi realizado na Reserva Ecológica do IBGE, Brasília, DF, Brasil, em três áreas de cerrado sensu stricto: protegida das queimadas, com queimadas bienais e com queimadas quadrienais. Foram demarcadas cinco parcelas de 20 x 50 m, em cada área. Foi avaliada a densidade, distribuição espacial, diâmetro e altura das plantas, densidade e diâmetro das rebrotas. Os dados mostraram que a distribuição espacial foi diferente entre as áreas e entre espécies. A distribuição mais observada foi a agregada. A área protegida do fogo e com queimadas quadrienais apresentaram maior densidade de plantas e de rebrotas para R. montana e S. adstringens, enquanto que a área com queimadas bienais apresentou maior densidade de plantas e de rebrotas de R. induta. Na área com queimadas bienais a altura e diâmetro das três espécies foram menores. Assim, em áreas submetidas a queimadas frequentes R. montana e S. adstringens teriam as suas populações diminuídas a longo prazo, enquanto R. induta colonizaria rapidamente o ambiente através do brotamento.
Anatomia foliar de Corymbia citriodora (Hook.) K.D. Hill & L.A.S. Johnson oriundas da região noroeste do Paraná - Leaf anatomy of Corymbia citriodora (Hook.) K.D. Hill & L.A.S. Johnson coming from Northeast Paraná
Authors: Moura Gabriela Silva , Franzener Gilmar
Published: July 2017

Tendo em vista a escassez de trabalhos anatômicos utilizados em análises taxonômica e evolutiva da família Myrtaceae, especialmente para os gêneros de Eucalyptus, este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever a estrutura e ilustrar a morfo-anatomia do limbo foliar e pecíolo de E. citriodora oriundos da região Noroeste do Paraná, visando contribuir com dados estruturais à família Myrtaceae e para o conhecimento sobre a biologia e a taxonomia da espécie. O material vegetal foi fixado em FAA 50, submetido ao processo de desidratação, em seguida transferido para etapa de infiltração utilizando-se uma mistura da Resina Líquida mais Ativador em Pó (Meio A). Para a polimerização foi utilizado o Meio B que, consiste na mistura do Meio A mais Hardner (endurecedor). Esta solução foi colocado nos moldes de polietileno (Histomold) e os fragmentos do tecido vegetal foram dispostos em corte transversal e longitudinal.  Após a montagem dos blocos foi realizado o corte para a visualização das estruturas anatômicas ao microscópio óptico. As características morfo-anatômicas evidenciadas no presente estudo são aquelas comumente encontradas em representantes da família Myrtaceae e no gênero Eucalyptus. O estudo da anatomia foliar deve ser considerada em filogenia, pois há caracteres promissores, tais como: o formato das células comuns da epiderme, presença de tricomas ou não, cavidades secretoras presente na fase adaxial e/ou abaxial , entre outros, que possibilitam a classificação taxonômica das espécies, além de fornecer dados importantes para a construção de filogenia.
A Propriedade no Direito Muçulmano: uma Análise Comparativa com o Direito Brasileiro
Authors: Bruch Kelly Lissandra
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo trata das fontes do direito muçulmano e de sua noção de direito real. Utilizando-se do método do direito comparado, o artigo é trabalhado em duas partes. A primeira trata dos fundamentos do direito muçulmano, contextualizando historicamente sua formação, bem como as fontes utilizadas para sua aplicação. A segunda parte trata do direito real, nos âmbitos da posse e propriedade, e faz um paralelo entre alguns institutos do direito brasileiro e do direito muçulmano. O objetivo deste artigo não é esgotar o assunto, mas fazer uma breve introdução que possa auxiliar a compreender este sistema jurídico, hoje em evidência, com base na comparação com o direito brasileiro.
BOA-FÉ E POSSE INJUSTA: UMA ANÁLISE ACERCA DA INDEPENDÊNCIA ENTRE OS VÍCIOS DA POSSE
Authors: Dantas Marcus
Published: July 2017

O artigo tem como objetivo contestar a idéia de que os vícios objetivos e subjetivos da posse são independentes, tendo em vista as próprias definições de vícios com as quais a doutrina costuma trabalhar. Essa contestação é feita também através do exame dos exemplos normalmente utilizados pela doutrina para a defesa da independência. Ao final, será demonstrado que, mesmo considerando a tese da independência através do exemplo padrão da aquisição a non domino, não seria possível obter os efeitos que normalmente se espera por esse caminho. Em última instância, os vícios subjetivos dependem necessariamente da presença de um vício objetivo para que possam fazer sentido.
LA ENSEÑANZA DEL DERECHO AGRARIO EN CUBA: NUEVAS REFLEXIONES Y PROPUESTAS DE CAMBIO
Authors: Acosta Rolando Pavó , Bello Vázquez Daniel , Pérez Carrillo Juan Ramón
Published: July 2017

Resulta apreciable la pertinacia de los criterios negativos en torno a la autonomía didáctica del Derecho Agrario, lo que de manifiesto la sobrevivencia aún de ciertos niveles de incomprensión, incluso de desconocimiento con respecto a las esenciales razones económicas, políticas, sociales y jurídicas que han argumentado a través de casi un siglo, sólidamente, la  existencia del Derecho Agrario como ciencia y como rama jurídica, lo que motiva la necesidad de continuar investigando sobre la enseñanza del Derecho Agrario, evaluando los aciertos y carencias en el desarrollo de la impartición de esta materia dentro de los estudios jurídicos. El presente trabajo, ofrece una semblanza de los principales programas analíticos de la asignatura de Derecho Agrario para los diferentes modelos pedagógicos (presencial, semipresencial y a distancia) presentando un diagnóstico acerca de cuáles han sido las regularidades, aciertos y las carencias sobre las cuales es preciso continuar trabajando. Los principales resultados que aquí se presentan, además del aludido diagnóstico, consisten en la propuesta fundamentada de continuar defendiendo la impartición del Derecho Agrario como asignatura autónoma y en un conjunto de recomendaciones encaminadas al perfeccionamiento de dichos programas.
Justiça Constitucional e Contra Cultura Judicial
Authors: Santamaría Rosembert Ariza
Published: July 2017

A partir da análise de algumas das sentenças paradigmáticas em temas como jurisdição indígena, consulta prévia, liberdade de culto, e o tratamento que a Corte dá a temas como a saúde, a educação e o direito à água potável, se procura estabelecer a tendência que a Corte tem fixado na matéria do direito dos povos indígenas; e se realiza uma análise desde a cultura judicial ao papel que os juízes de instância julgam no seguimento de precedentes de sentenças em matérias de direitos dos povos indígenas.
A EDUCAÇÃO COMO DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL: o direito de acesso igualitário ao ensino superior, as ações afirmativas e a crise nos cursos de Direito
Authors: Soares de Moura Costa Matos Andityas , Gonçalves Chaves Sandrelise
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo tem como principal objetivo o estudo da educação como direito fundamental, sobretudo do direito de acesso aos níveis mais elevados da educação. Ressalta-se que a justificativa para esse enfoque se dá em razão do destaque sobre o direito à educação, notadamente no que tange aos preceitos traçados pela Constituição da República de 1988. Essa abordagem contribui para uma análise crítica sobre a efetividade das normas constitucionais que dispõe sobre o acesso ao ensino superior e para a elaboração de propostas de intervenções futuras, que visem à melhoria da educação no país. Para isso, foram analisados alguns aspectos sobre a educação no Brasil (programas e ações afirmativas). Adotou-se o tema por ser um assunto de discussão recente e de grande contribuição para o universo acadêmico. Ao final, conclui-se que as ações afirmativas, como o PROUNI, contribuem para o cumprimento das disposições constitucionais, permitindo um mínimo de efetividade do direito fundamental à educação superior. Contudo, as universidades privadas passam por crises que podem afetar a educação e, consequentemente, o próprio direito.
