Once Bodies Have Remembered
Authors: Yen Le Hoang Ngoc
Published: December 2018

This essay discusses leprosy patients’ lived realities during the transformation of Quy Hòa, a former Catholic-run leprosarium in south central Vietnam, from a religious care center into a state socialist institution. The change in leprosy care resulted in a radically divergent experience in which subjectivities were reshaped by socialist citizenship amid rampant poverty. Meanwhile, hard physical labor for economic survival, one prominent feature of this period, significantly disfigured bodies already afflicted by leprosy, rendering bodily loss a mnemonic for this memorable era.

Published: December 2018

Lipid droplets (LD) provide a source of energy, and their importance during embryogenesis has been increasingly recognized. In particular, pig embryos have larger amounts of intercellular lipid bilayers than other mammalian species, suggesting that porcine embryos are more dependent on lipid metabolic pathways. The objective of the present study was to detect the effect of stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) on LD formation and to associate these effects with the mRNA abundance of LD formation-related genes (SREBP, ARF1, COPG2, PLD1 and ERK2) in in vitro-produced porcine embryos. To determine the effect of SCD1 on LD formation and related genes, we examined the effects of SCD1 inhibition using CAY10566 (an SCD1 inhibitor, 50 μM) on parthenogenetic embryos. SCD1 inhibition downregulated the mRNA levels of LD formation-related genes and embryo development. Our results revealed that SCD1 functions in the regulation of LD formation via phospholipid formation and embryo development. In addition, we treated parthenogenetic embryos with oleic acid (100 μM), which led to a significant increase in the blastocyst formation rate, LD size and number compared to controls. Remarkably, the adverse effects of the SCD1 inhibitor could be counteracted by oleic acid. These data suggest that porcine embryos can use exogenous oleic acid as a metabolic energy source.

Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject type III secreted effectors (T3SEs) directly into host cells to promote pathogen fitness by manipulating host cellular processes. Despite their crucial role in promoting virulence, relatively few T3SEs have well-characterized enzymatic activities or host targets. This is in part due to functional redundancy within pathogen T3SE repertoires as well as the promiscuity of individual T3SEs that can have multiple host targets. To overcome these challenges, we generated and characterized a collection of yeast strains stably expressing 75 T3SE constructs from the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. This collection is devised to facilitate heterologous genetic screens in yeast, a non-host organism, to identify T3SEs that target conserved eukaryotic processes. Among 75 T3SEs tested, we identified 16 that inhibited yeast growth on rich media and eight that inhibited growth on stress-inducing media. We utilized Pathogenic Genetic Array (PGA) screens to identify potential host targets of P. syringae T3SEs. We focused on the acetyltransferase, HopZ1a, which interacts with plant tubulin and alters microtubule networks. To uncover putative HopZ1a host targets, we identified yeast genes with genetic interaction profiles most similar (i.e., congruent) to the PGA profile of HopZ1a and performed a functional enrichment analysis of these HopZ1a-congruent genes. We compared the congruence analyses above to previously described HopZ physical interaction datasets and identified kinesins as potential HopZ1a targets. Finally, we demonstrated that HopZ1a can target kinesins by acetylating the plant kinesins HINKEL and MKRP1, illustrating the utility of our T3SE-expressing yeast library to characterize T3SE functions.

Authors: BEN MOHIMD Hajar , ZAOUI Fatima , CHAMI Bassima , EL WADY Wafae
Published: December 2018

Background: The involvement of oral bacterias in the occurrence of infective endocarditis (IE) has prompted the adoption of antibiotic prophylaxis prior to dental procedures for patients at high-risk. The aim of this paper was to assess the knowledge of Moroccan dentists regarding the management of patients with heart disease at risk of infective endocarditis.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive analytical study which targeted 200 dentists in the city of Rabat- Morocco. A questionnaire with 16 questions was distributed randomly. The level of knowledge of dentists was established based on the number of correct answers for each section and responses were assessed according to the American Heart Association (AHA) 2007 guidelines.
Results: Only 133 practitioners have agreed to participate in our study with a response rate of 66,5%. 87% of dentists reported contacting the cardiologist before starting treatment, 33% of practitioners weren’t aware of any guidelines and 20% knew AHA 2007, 52% reported not following guidelines in the management of patients with heart disease. Among the cardiac conditions and dental procedures proposed in the questionnaire which required prophylaxis; 8% and 2% respectively chose the correct answer according to the AHA’s 2007 guidelines. 31% of dentists answered correctly on the prescription of antibiotic prophylaxis protocol according to the latest recommendations.
Conclusion: According to our results, the knowledge of Moroccan private general dentists towards endocarditis prophylaxis was in a low level. The study highlights the need for continuous education.

Modelos predictivos de la deserción estudiantil en una universidad privada peruana
Authors: Sifuentes Bitocchi Oswaldo
Published: December 2018

Desertion is a problem that affects public and private universities, and leads to a series of negative consequences for both institutions and students. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine how the use of predictive models in low pass-rate courses helps to identify students at risk of desertion. Seven predictive models were designed using CRISP (Cross- Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) methodology and students’ academic records to be applied in seven low pass-rate courses. Among the main results, it can be noted that predictive models contributed to the reduction of fail rates by 25% and 40%, and that the variables that best forecast desertion were career choice (vocation), number of times students enrolled in the course, and grades obtained in mathematics or language arts when students attended the fifth year of high school.

Authors: Avalos Ortecho Edilberto Miguel
Published: December 2018

Numerous studies have assessed the benefits of cleaner production on business performance but have not yet reached conclusive results. This investigation is an attempt to make two contributions to business management. Firstly, various types of cleaner production activities are compared, as well as hard and soft kills. Secondly, this study complements existing literature that focuses on Peruvian copper mining industry. Additionally, the relationship between cleaner production and business performance was evaluated using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). An overall positive impact of cleaner production on business performance was found. On the other hand, it was also found that high-cost cleaner production activities have a bigger contribution to financial performance compared to non-financial performance, whereas low-cost cleaner production activities have a greater contribution to non-financial performance compared with financial performance.

Published: December 2018

The petroleum hydrocarbon contamination represents a worldwide problem, since its accumulation promotes a serious environmental impact. Thereby, the use of microorganisms, such as those from mangrove micro biota, as degrading agents of various carbon sources is poorly exploited in environmental remediation processes. Thus, this in vitro study evaluated the degrading potential of isolated bacteria from mangrove sediments in the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. Analysis of the genetic diversity using the 16S rRNA marker revealed closely related (99%) sequences with Proteobacterium, Pseudomonas and Exiguobacterium. Results showed the bacterial growth in the mineral saline medium (MSM) containing 1% petroleum or diesel, as carbon sources. This growth was determinated by optical density at 595 nm for 15 days, with sample withdrawal every 48 h. Bacterial growth indicated the hydrocarbon metabolization. However, bacteria were more efficient at degrading petroleum. Overall, experimental data displayed the potential application of these bacteria in bioremediation processes, due to their metabolic and adaptive capacities to grow in a rich hydrocarbon medium.

Pulmonary veins (PVs) are a major source of ectopic beats that initiate AF. PV isolation from the left atrium is an effective therapy for the majority of paroxysmal AF. However, investigators have reported that ectopy originating from non-PV areas can also initiate AF. Patients with recurrent AF after persistent PV isolation highlight the need to identify non-PV ectopy. Furthermore, adding non-PV ablation after multiple AF ablation procedures leads to lower AF recurrence and a higher AF cure rate. These findings suggest that non-PV ectopy is important in both the initiation and recurrence of AF. This article summarises current knowledge about the electrophysiological characteristics of non-PV AF, suitable mapping and ablation strategies, and the safety and efficacy of catheter ablation of AF initiated by ectopic foci originating from non-PV areas.

Pulmonary vein antrum isolation is the most effective rhythm control strategy in patients with paroxysmal AF. However, catheter ablation of non-paroxysmal AF has a lower success rate, even when persistent isolation of pulmonary veins (PVs) is achieved. As a result of arrhythmia-related electophysiological and structural changes in the atria, sites other than the PVs can harbour triggers. These non-PV triggers contribute to AF relapse. In this article, we summarise the rationale and current evidence supporting the arrhythmogenic role of non-PV triggers and our ablation approach to patients with non-paroxysmal AF.

Discute-se a polissemia de classificações possíveis para a população negra da Província da Parahyba do Norte. A partir da pesquisa em fontes primárias como imprensa e documentos da administração provincial, e com o aporte teórico da história social, história da educação e história da escravidão são expostos termos ligados a cores, qualidades e condições, a fim de discutir as diferentes possibilidades de ser negro no século XIX. Com isso, discutem-se os limites entre escravidão e liberdade, e como a possibilidade de fluidez entre ser escravo e ser livre afetaria a identificação dos sujeitos. Conclui-se que a imprecisão que cercava sujeitos negros atingia a relação dessa camada da população com a instrução, e que o contato com o universo letrado interferia nas classificações dos indivíduos.
Calidades, castas y razas en el México virreinal: el uso de categorías y clasificaciones de las poblaciones de origen africano
Authors: Gutiérrez María Elisa Velázquez
Published: December 2018

Este artículo tiene el objetivo de reflexionar sobre las formas de clasificar y catalogar a las personas de origen africano en las distintas etapas del periodo colonial (1521-1821) de acuerdo con la estructura corporativa y estamental característica del virreinato de la Nueva España, pero también de las ideas que existieron sobre lo que significó la nación, las castas, las calidades o las razas. Para ello, primero se hará una pequeña semblanza histórica de la importancia de las personas de origen africano en el México virreinal y las diversas circunstancias que vivieron. Después se analizará el significado y las diferencias entre las concepciones sobre nación, calidad, castas o raza con el fin de comprender que estos conceptos tuvieron diferentes funciones de acuerdo con la época y a su relación con hechos como el auge del comercio de personas africanas. Finalmente se darán ejemplos de los usos de las categorías y formas de clasificar mostrando la complejidad, arbitrariedad y poca consistencia de estas denominaciones en una sociedad que, pese a la desigualdad económica y social, tenía posibilidades de movilidad y de tener relaciones con otros grupos sociales y culturales, formando familias y recreando culturas. *** Qualidade, castas e raça no México: uso de categorias e classificações das populações afro descendentes ***Este artigo analisa as classificações e catalogações da população afrodescendente durante o Vice-Reino na Nova Espanha (1521-1821), assim como explora o significado e limitações dos conceitos de nação, casta, qualidade e raça. O texto inicia com uma discussão sobre a importância histórica da presença africana e de seus descendentes no Vice-Reino da Nova Espanha, no atual México, e suas condições de vida. Posteriormente, o texto examina as diferentes definições dos conceitos de nação, qualidade, casta e raça. Esses conceitos tiveram funções e usos variados e é importante considerar como estavam relacionados com a expansão do comércio de africanos escravizados. Finalmente, exemplos de usos de categorias e formas de classificação irão detalhar a complexidade, arbitrariedade e pouca consistência dessas denominações em uma sociedade que, apesar da desigualdade social e econômica, apresentava mecanismos de mobilidade e possibilitava a interação entre diversos grupos sociais e culturais, o que favoreceu a formação de famílias e novas expressões culturais.Palavras-chave: afrodescendentes; castas; classificações; México.

Authors: Alves Coralie Sandrine , Serrão Carla
Published: December 2018

Aims: The aims of this systematic rewiew is to present and systematize the scientific evidence about the risk factors of violence against the elderly, in order to draw up strategic prevention and intervention lines.Source of data: The scientific databases Pubmed / Medline®, EBSCO® and Cochrane Library® were consulted from January 1, 2012 until December 31, 2016 in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French, on the terms Medical Subject Headings: “Elder Abuse” and “Risk Factor”, with the help of Boolean Operators (AND); parentheses for ordering operators and quotation marks for identifying composite words. At the end, 115 documents were considered for the analysis, from which 13 were extracted for the final analysis.Summary of findings: It was found that physical violence is the most prevalent form and that women in advanced age are those most at risk of violence. Family dynamics and conflicts are also risk factors for the occurrence of this phenomenon in the elderly.Conclusions: This review identifies relevant knowledge gaps about the subject of violence against the elderly, demonstrated by the lack of consistency in the definition of violence and forms of violence, the lack of screening studies, and of detecting, intervening and preventing the violence in this age group. Consequently, and despite the privileged position of the family physician/healthprofessional in the community, the absence of guidelines hampers a more efficient action in detection and prevention of the phenomenon.

Published: December 2018

La virtud es una materia abordada desde diversas perspectivas, con inclusiones, exclusiones y repeticiones de características que le dan o anulan sentido a su esencia. Este artículo identifica los pilares que fundamentan su, analizando y contrastando diferentes aspectos encontrados en la literatura citada. Se proponen tres factores: hecho moral, carácter y voluntad, que se plantean y justifican como elementales y necesarios para que prevalezca como tal. A su vez, con base en dichos elementos de virtud, se detectaron tres latitudes: conocimiento y razón, acciones realizadas, e intencionalidad. El paralelismo entre estos factores de la virtud y latitudes de la comunicación científica puede expresarse de las siguientes maneras: (i) al factor de carácter le corresponde la latitud del conocimiento y la razón, ya que el conocimiento de la ciencia del investigador comprendería manejo de literatura, herramientas, técnicas y métodos; (ii) el hecho moral, como elemento de la virtud, da pie a la latitud de acciones realizadas en cultura científica, comprendiendo el acto investigativo en sí, el trabajo de campo, redacción de artículos y la búsqueda de espacios para la comunicación; y (iii) el elemento de la voluntad, que trae consigo la latitud de la intencionalidad, implica la inclinación e interés del investigador, ya sea motivada por su búsqueda de reconocimiento, logro personal o profesional y posibilita el logro de incentivos para continuar realizando la actividad científica.

Published: December 2018

The European Commission expects that the development of bioeconomy across the EU will boost its rural and coastal economies. Although these areas have comparatively more spare biomass, at the same time they are associated with lower levels of entrepreneurship and R&D; activities. One can argue that more urbanized and industrialized regions with higher innovation potential will develop high value added bio-based industries, while rural and coastal economies will remain or become to a greater extent biomass providers. Therefore, the article aims to explore links between regional biomass availability, bioeconomy business cluster and innovation potential, as well as how the development of bioeconomy can evolve in different groups of regions. For this purpose, bioeconomy development factors including aspects of innovation economics are analysed in year of 2016 using data of 237 NUTS 3 level regions of Norden, Western and Central Europe. Research results reveal that analysed regions can not be simply separated into potential bioeconomy development ‘losers’ and ‘winners’, however, several groups of analysed regions have distinctly higher potential in certain bioeconomy fields.
