Características de morbilidad en funcionarios de una universidad estatal de Costa Rica, América Central
Authors: Arce Lourdes
Published: June 2019

La morbilidad constituye un indicador importante de las causas de mortalidad de una población y permite enfocar las acciones en salud preventiva para disminuir los riesgos. Aquí presento datos del servicio médico de una universidad estatal de Costa Rica. Sus participantes fueron los funcionarios que acudieron a consulta del 19 de enero del 2009 al 14 de diciembre del 2012. Se analizó la población total consultante,  usando como instrumentos 2 010 expedientes médicos electrónicos, se realizó un reporte y posterior el análisis estadístico en el programa SPSS. Los hallazgos principales fueron que el 53% de la población consultó entre 1 a 10 consultas anuales, los dos grandes grupos de edad: adultos jóvenes y adultos, consultan en igual proporción; hay  ciclos semanales y mensuales, correspondientes a los reportados en otros servicios de salud a nivel nacional. Las causas de consulta  coinciden en las reportadas a nivel nacional, por lo que se mantiene la hipótesis de que la ocupación y el nivel socioeconómico (presentados en algunos otros estudios como factores determinantes de la morbilidad) en esta población no presentan un patrón distinto con respecto al patrón  nacional. Muchas de las consultas realizadas están relacionadas con pobres hábitos de higiene, mala dieta y sedentarismo, así como poca higiene postural.

Authors: Villegas Arguedas Juan Carlos , Villalobos Céspedes Jorge
Published: June 2019

Southern Caribbean avifauna associated with altered ecosystems in Limón, Costa Rica. The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, one of the areas with higher bird species richness in the country, is the main migratory route in Central America. We sampled the coast with visual counts (April-October 2002) and counted 1 639 individuals of 123 species in 14 sample sites from Moin to Cahuita. The most common species were Psarocolius montezuma (Montezuma Oropendola), Ramphocelus passerinii (Passerini's Tanager) and Oryzoborus funereus (Thick-billed Seed-Finch). Most were in cattle land with isolated trees, followed by rivers and streams and the logged forest. Penshurt had the highest relative abundance, followed by Miravalles and Tuba Creek; the site with the lowest relative abundance was Tomatal. A cluster model indicated significant differences in avifauna composition. Pastures with trees, gardens, and mixed stands were the most diverse and had more birds. Vulnerable forest species occur in these forest remnants that are important for their conservation.
Quantitation of the active alpha-2-macroglobulin by trypsin protease zymography
Authors: Gligorijevic Nikola , Sunderic Milos , Vilotic Aleksandra , Baralic Marko , Nedic Olgica
Published: June 2019

A simple and reliable method for the determination of the concentration and function of alpha-2-macroglobulin (?2M) by zymography was developed. The method is based on the covalent binding of ?2M and trypsin followed by non-reducing PAGE and zymography with gelatine incorporated in the electrophoretic gel. The results showed that ?2M binds trypsin in a concentration-dependent manner exhibiting a linear relation. The sensitivity of the method is 125 nM and the intra-assay coefficient of variation 4.2 %. Freezing of ?2M induces its partial denaturation, which could be seen as the reduction in the amount of functional molecule and its reactivity with trypsin. The reported method enables measurement of ?2M taking into consideration both its quantity and function, stressing the importance of the determination of the amount of physiologically active molecules and not just their presence in the sample. The method was further confirmed using ?2M from patients with end-stage renal disease who are known to be under increased oxidative stress and inflammation, which are expected to modify the structure of proteins.

Experimental Campaign and Analysis on Double-Shear Wooden Connections
Authors: Teodorescu Ioana
Published: June 2019

The presence of water in wooden elements is very important because it represents the key in the determination of the resistances of a wooden sample. The influences of the environmental conditions like temperature, relative humidity, wind, rain are constantly changing wood properties. The paper presents the different types of water that are found in a wooden piece together with experimental results on the displacement of double-shear wooden connections with wooden dowels that have been modified in two pre-established environments. The moisture content has been changed from 12% natural moisture of wood in normal building conditions to 8% and 16% for wood that is found in different climatic conditions. The experimental results are then compared with numerical calculations from the international standard Eurocode 5.
Prediction of Swelling Parameters of Two Clayey Soils from Algeria Using Artificial Neural Networks
Authors: Merouane Fatima Zohra , Mamoune Sidi Mohamed Aissa
Published: June 2019

The phenomenon of swelling is one of the more complicated geotechnical problems that the engineer have to deal with. However, its quantification is essential for the design of structures and various methods can be applied to the identification of this phenomenon. Some, such as mineralogical identification and direct measurements of swelling, are more or less long and require very specific equipment. However, there are other methods that offer the advantage of being relatively fast and lesser expensive: they are based on soil mechanics parameters. Using these parameters, several authors have introduced soil swelling prediction models, mostly in the form of classifications and empirical formulas. This work concerns in the first part the identification and classification of the swelling potential of two clays located in north-western Algeria. Followed by a statistical analysis carried out to test the reliability of the observations for the estimation of the pressure and the swelling amplitude using a multiple linear regression.

A second part is devoted to the development of a prediction method by artificial neural networks allowing the estimation of swelling parameters (pressure and amplitude) by minimizing the difference between the experimental measurements and the numerical results. Modeling by artificial neural networks is of great interest in the field of prediction. The application of two networks makes it possible to obtain good forecasts of the swelling parameters.

Electrically Enhanced Hydrogen Adsorption in Metal-Organic Frameworks
Authors: Zarbo Liviu , Oancea Marius , Klontzas Emmanuel , Tylianakis Emmanuel , Grosu Ioana G. , Froudakis George E.
Published: June 2019

Using a multiscale approach, we show that applied electric field does not affect significantly the hydrogen uptake of weakly polarizable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Nonetheless, we show that, for large MOF polarizabilities, the hydrogen uptake can double in applied electric field. We propose searching for a novel class of hydrogen storage materials, that of highly polarizable porous MOFs. Hydrogen uptake in such materials would be controlled by electric field, a much easier to adjust parameter than pressure or temperature.
Electronic Properties of Graphene-ZnO Interface: A Density Functional Theory Investigation
Authors: Fathzadeh Maryam , Fahrvandi Hamoon , Nadimi Ebrahim
Published: June 2019

Our study provides significant new results for an important interface in current and future nanoelectronics, namely the Graphene-ZnO interface. The manuscript includes the results of intensive density functional calculations for the interface between several ZnO surfaces and a single layer graphene. The structural properties and the binding energies at the interface are calculated for three different ZnO surfaces. The Zn-terminated (0001) and O-terminated (000-1) surfaces as well as nonpolar (10-10) surface are considered in the present study. We also investigate the electronic properties of the contact by calculating the interfacial potential barrier based on projected density of states at different layers. The results indicate the crucial role of interfacial oxygen density on the electronic behavior of the contact, which in turn can be employed to explain experimental discrepancies on the Ohmic or Schottky behavior of this interface. Calculations for interfaces with oxygen vacancies support our finding and explain experimental results for thermally treated samples.
Optical Control of Small Molecule-Induced Protein Degradation

Published: June 2019

As an emerging approach to protein perturbation, small molecule-induced protein degradation has gained significant attention as both a chemical tool and a potential therapeutic. To enable discreet spatiotemporal control over its activity, we have developed a broadly applicable approach for the optical control of small molecule-induced protein degradation. Installation of photolabile caging groups onto ligands recruiting Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) and cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligases enabled optical control over protein degradation.
Robust repression of tRNA gene transcription during stress requires protein arginine methylation
Authors: Davis Richoo B , Likhite Neah , Jackson Christopher A , Liu Tao , Yu Michael C
Published: June 2019

Protein arginine methylation is an important means by which protein function can be regulated. In the budding yeast, this modification is catalyzed by the major protein arginine methyltransferase Hmt1. Here, we provide evidence that the Hmt1-mediated methylation of Rpc31, a subunit of RNA polymerase III, plays context-dependent roles in tRNA gene transcription: under conditions optimal for growth, it positively regulates tRNA gene transcription, and in the setting of stress, it promotes robust transcriptional repression. In the context of stress, methylation of Rpc31 allows for its optimal interaction with RNA polymerase III global repressor Maf1. Interestingly, mammalian Hmt1 homologue is able to methylate one of Rpc31’s human homologue, RPC32β, but not its paralogue, RPC32α. Our data led us to propose an efficient model whereby protein arginine methylation facilitates metabolic economy and coordinates protein-synthetic capacity.
Opposing functions of F-BAR proteins in neuronal membrane protrusion, tubule formation, and neurite outgrowth
Authors: Taylor Kendra L , Taylor Russell J , Richters Karl E , Huynh Brandon , Carrington Justin , McDermott Maeve E , Wilson Rebecca L , Dent Erik W
Published: June 2019

The F-BAR family of proteins play important roles in many cellular processes by regulating both membrane and actin dynamics. The CIP4 family of F-BAR proteins is widely recognized to function in endocytosis by elongating endocytosing vesicles. However, in primary cortical neurons, CIP4 concentrates at the tips of extending lamellipodia and filopodia and inhibits neurite outgrowth. Here, we report that the highly homologous CIP4 family member, FBP17, induces tubular structures in primary cortical neurons and results in precocious neurite formation. Through domain swapping and deletion experiments, we demonstrate that a novel polybasic region between the F-BAR and HR1 domains is required for membrane bending. Moreover, the presence of a poly-PxxP region in longer splice isoforms of CIP4 and FBP17 largely reverses the localization and function of these proteins. Thus, CIP4 and FBP17 function as an antagonistic pair to fine-tune membrane protrusion, endocytosis, and neurite formation during early neuronal development.

Telomeres are repeated sequences found at the end of the linear chromosomes of most eukaryotes and are required for chromosome integrity. Expression of the reverse-transcriptase telomerase allows for extension of telomeric repeats to counteract natural telomere shortening. Although Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a photosynthetic unicellular green alga, is widely used as a model organism in photosynthesis and flagella research, and for biotechnological applications, the biology of its telomeres has not been investigated in depth. Here, we show that the C. reinhardtii (TTTTAGGG)n telomeric repeats are mostly nondegenerate and that the telomeres form a protective structure, with a subset ending with a 3′ overhang and another subset presenting a blunt end. Although telomere size and length distributions are stable under various standard growth conditions, they vary substantially between 12 genetically close reference strains. Finally, we identify CrTERT, the gene encoding the catalytic subunit of telomerase and show that telomeres shorten progressively in mutants of this gene. Telomerase mutants eventually enter replicative senescence, demonstrating that telomerase is required for long-term maintenance of telomeres in C. reinhardtii.

The cyanobacterial clock is controlled via the interplay among KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC, which generate a periodic oscillation of KaiC phosphorylation in the presence of ATP. KaiC forms a homohexamer harboring 12 ATP-binding sites and exerts ATPase activities associated with its autophosphorylation and dephosphorylation. The KaiC nucleotide state is a determining factor of the KaiB–KaiC interaction; however, its relationship with the KaiA–KaiC interaction has not yet been elucidated. With the attempt to address this, our native mass spectrometric analyses indicated that ATP hydrolysis in the KaiC hexamer promotes its interaction with KaiA. Furthermore, our nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data revealed that ATP hydrolysis is coupled with conformational changes in the flexible C-terminal segments of KaiC, which carry KaiA-binding sites. From these data, we conclude that ATP hydrolysis in KaiC is coupled with the exposure of its C-terminal KaiA-binding sites, resulting in its high affinity for KaiA. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the ATP-mediated circadian periodicity.

A Previdência Social no Governo Lula:
Authors: Marques Rosa Maria
Published: June 2019

Este artigo trata dos principais problemas que o Governo Lula irá enfrentar em relação à Previdência Social. O primeiro deles é resgatar a concepção de proteção social prevista na Seguridade Social, não permitindo que seu superávit continue a ser utilizado como elemento do resultado primário das contas do governo exigido pelo FMI. O segundo é inverter a trajetória do mercado de trabalho dos últimos dez anos, o que determinou a redução do nível da arrecadação das contribuições. O terceiro é defender o princípio da solidariedade presente no regime de repartição da Previdência Social, e o quarto é enfrentar a complexidade que envolve qualquer proposta de reforma do regime dos servidores ou de sua aproximação ao regime dos trabalhadores do setor privado.

O estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de analisar o papel da Previdência Social no desenvolvimento social e econômico dos pequenos municípios brasileiros, especificamente, Macururé-BA. O pressuposto impulsionador do tema é de que os benefícios previdenciários vêm superando a arrecadação e o valor do fundo de participação na maioria dos municípios, o que demonstra a importância dos benefícios para a movimentação econômica destes. O texto traz aspectos conceituais sobre desenvolvimento social e econômico, refere-se ao papel social da previdência no Brasil e ao seu impacto nos municípios, e ainda apresenta uma descrição e caracterização do município de Macururé abordando o cenário e os resultados da pesquisa empírica. Na conclusão do estudo faz-se a confrontação das análises dos resultados com os objetivos propostos, em que fica evidente a relevância da Previdência Social como determinante do movimento econômico do município de Macururé, sendo a renda previdenciária a mais importante para o sustento das famílias.
A ação dos trabalhadores na consolidação da Assistência Social como Direito
Authors: Behring Elaine Rossetti
Published: June 2019

O presente artigo debate os desafios da construção da política de assistência social, considerando a cultura política brasileira secular e a contra-reforma do Estado nos anos 90. Estes são elementos que vêm obstando a seguridade social no país. Na sequência o artigo analisa o papel dos trabalhadores no campo da assistência, tendo em vista a perspectiva da acessibilidade aos direitos e a necessidade de uma nova cultura institucional, ética e política, voltada para o público. Nesse sentido, coloca-se um novo perfil de trabalhadores da área. São articuladores que fortalecem a construção de uma reforma democrática do Estado, na qual se insere a assistência como política de seguridade.
Parâmetros teóricos e metodológicos para análise de políticas sociais
Authors: Tanezini Theresa Cristina Zavaris
Published: June 2019

Este texto questiona o aparente tecnicismo que envolve as prescrições de natureza gerencial e meramente administrativa da ação pública (análise endógena e linear) e ressalta a importância da identificação dos referenciais teórico-metodológicos das ciências sociais que apontam diferentes significados para os conceitos relacionados com as políticas públicas – política, Estado (em suas diversas formas) e sociedade – bem como os diferentes métodos para sua análise. Após uma visão panorâmica, ainda que superficial, dos diferentes caminhos presentes no debate entre os estudiosos do tema, este trabalho enfoca o método dialético que está na base do pensamento crítico sobre as concepções acerca da decisão e intervenção públicas, e as possibilidades de diálogo com tendências renovadoras do método comparado com seu enfoque seqüencial e processual O papel do analista nesta perspectiva complexa e não linear de análise é avaliar o papel dos atores políticos e das estruturas e instituições nesse ciclo e confrontar o discurso, o programa de ação governamental e os impactos objetivos (nas condições de vida e trabalho dos beneficiários) e subjetivos na realidade vista em sua totalidade, isto é, a política pública sempre será analisada dentro de um campo de relações complexas e contraditórias entre forças sociais presentes na sociedade e que perpassam o Estado em contextos determinados.
Conselhos de Saúde:
Authors: Alves Sandra Mara
Published: June 2019

O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) emergiu do contexto de abertura política, fruto de intensa mobilização social na desefsa por um novo direito à saúde. Concebido segundo as diretrizes da decentralização, atendimento integral e participação da comunidade, reacendeu a ideia de participação comunitária no controle das ações governamentais e na orientação dos caminhos a serem percorridos com objetivo de se construir uma sociedade livre, justa e solidária. Dentre as formas de controle social na saúde, destacamos a figura dos Conselhos de Saúde que se constituíram como espaços própprios para o exercício da cidadania, uma vez que lá são discutidas as estratégias para implementação de políticas públicas de saúde de interesse de toda a comunidade. Durante os 15 anos de sua existência, houve um grande amadurecimentono desempenho de suas funções, e muitos desafios foram superados. Atualmente, com a adoção, pelo Brasil, de medidas neoliberais que surgem como solução mágica para a grave crise econômica que assola o país, um novo desafio se apresenta para essa instituição: impedir que as conquistas sociais tão duramente alcançadas sejama assoladas por políticas econômicas descomprometidas com o social. Os Conselhos de Saúde monstram-se como uma instituição que precisa ser constamente fortalecida e defendida, para permanecerem efetivando os direitos já conquistados.
