Making water stress treatments in pot experiments: An illustrated step-by-step guide v1
Authors: LE Imakumbili Matema
Published: May 2019

This protocol is a step-by-step guide on how to make water stress treatments in pot experiments. Water stress treatments are useful for investigating how plants survive under drought conditions. This protocol demonstrates how you can keep plants severely water stressed, moderately water stressed and well-watered. Note that water stress is sometimes also referred to as soil moisture stress or simply as moisture stress. The terms will be used interchangeably in this protocol. Water stress treatments are made by reducing a soils moisture content and by maintaining the moisture content at this new low level for a period of time. Changes in soil moisture are achieved by reducing or increasing a soils moisture content to levels close to or way below its field capacity (water holding capacity). Field capacity is the maximum amount of water that a soil retains after the excess water it had gained from an irrigation or rainfall has completely drained and its percolation seized. Note that moisture content at field capacity is not the same as that held under saturated soil moisture conditions. At field capacity the large soil pores are filled with both air and water, while the smaller pores are still full of water. While at saturation all pores are filled with water. Plants need both air and water in soil pores for them to grow well making field capacity an ideal soil moisture level. There are many methods for creating water stress treatments. The method described in this protocol is however suitable for all situations.

Vandy – Body Composition in conscious mice v1
Authors: Lantier Louise
Published: May 2019

Summary: The minispec Body Composition Analyzer is based on Time Domain NMR. It acquires and analyzes TD-NMR signals from all protons in the entire sample volume and can provide 3 components of interest: Fat, Free Body Fluid and Lean Tissue values. Bruker's minispec Body Composition Analyzer provides a precise method for measurement of lean tissue, fat and fluid in living mice. TD-NMR uses NMR technology, providing analysis of fat tissue, lean tissue and free fluid by the same physical selection rules that give rise to contrast in MRI. Tissue contrast is high between fat and muscle based on relative relaxation times. This Magnetic Resonance technology provides our users with the opportunity to make multiple measurements during the life of the animal with the following benefits: ♦ Rapid analysis: measurement takes less than 2 minutes, no sample preparation ♦ Economical procedures: no consumables, retain expensive lab animals for entire study ♦ Reduced animal stress: no need for anesthetics; animals are measured "as-is" ♦ Allows more frequent testing, due to reduction of risks to animal health ♦ Better accuracy and precision compared to DEXA (X-ray) method

Sample Preparation for 3D-Raman Microspectroscopic Mapping of Fully Hydrated Protist Cells v1
Authors: Weber Felix , Zaliznyak Tatiana , T Taylor Gordon
Published: May 2019

Sample preparation for Raman Microspectroscopic analysis of microbial cells mostly requires mounting of cells to Raman-inactive substrata such as mirror-finished stainless steel microscope slides. This can be achieved either by drying cell suspensions on stainless steel slides or by applying the Filter-Transfer-Freeze ("FTF") Technique (Taylor et al. 2017 protocols.io; dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.ikqccvw) when microbial cells have been collected on polycarbonate membrane filters before. Both techniques work very well for small and rigid prokaryotes. However, the compression forces and dehydration caused by the FTF-technique or by dry mounting results in considerable morphological distortions and collapsing of cells when applied to specimens of larger protists (e.g. ciliates). Therefore, we developed a sample preparation method that accommodates the delicateness of ciliates and allows Raman analysis of fully intact and hydrated cells under water through a water immersion objective lens. The protocol was established with the ciliate species Tetrahymena pyriformis and and enabled 3D-mapping of chemical fingerprints on a subcellular level during Raman scans of 12 hours and longer. This method might be applicable not only to protists, but with slight alterations to larger specimens or delicate tissues in general.

Value Orientations Development in Adolescents by Means of Folk Music
Authors: Fursenko T.F.
Published: May 2019

The paper focuses on the pedagogical aspect of developing value orientations in adolescents by means of folk music. It provides an outline of various views on the issue; reveals the meaning of the value orientations concept; analyses the pedagogical settings necessary for the development of value orientations in adolescents and personality-oriented pedagogical technologies. The author describes her method of ‘value actualisation’ which is based on the use of some of the best pieces of folk music in contemporary arrangements that embody the values of the modern society and nourish universal human as well as cultural-historical national values. When working with adolescents, it’s important to take into account their musical interests and needs and to use contemporary arrangements of traditional music, for instance, folk-rock and folk-pop, gradually expanding the focus. The paper gives examples of how traditional music can be used in working with value orientations in adolescents. The outcomes of the study show that developing value orientations by means of folk music can be effective if personality-oriented pedagogical technologies are employed (which promote mastering and incorporating in the adolescent’s activity the entire spectrum of traditional music) and if the process of educating is humane and democratic enough.
Randomized Clinical Trials in Pediatric Dentistry: Application of Evidence-Based Dentistry through the CONSORT Statement
Authors: Garrocho-Rangel Arturo , Ruiz-Rodríguez Socorro , Gaitán-Fonseca César , Pozos-Guillén Amaury
Published: May 2019

In order to include appropriate informed decisions on dental therapeutic or preventive procedures in children, Pediatric Dentists should apply the fundamentals of “Evidence-Based Dentistry” (EBD). This oral health approach assists clinicians in understanding and applying the most relevant research published on evidence in the clinical setting when treating their patients. One of the crucial steps of EBD is to critically appraise and use the primary articles about therapy or prevention, namely, Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT), the study design that best addresses the questions related with these clinical areas. The aim of the present paper was to provide the basic concepts and an example of how to critically read and understand articles on RCT studies in Pediatric Dentistry employing the CONSORT statement, a process that involves assessing the reliability of results, risk of bias (internal validity), and applicability of reported clinical findings (external validity).
Streptococcus Mutans Strains in Mother-Child Pairs of Children with Early Childhood Caries
Authors: Subramaniam Priya , Suresh Revathy
Published: May 2019

Objective: Dental caries is both an infectious and transmissible disease. Maternal transfer of Mutans Streptococci occurs at an early age and is important in the initiation of dental caries in children. The aim of this study was to identify certain strains of Streptococcus mutans in mother-child pairs, of children with early childhood caries. Study design: Sixty mother-child pairs of healthy children aged 18–36 months were selected. Mothers with high levels of Streptococcus mutans in their saliva and only children with ECC were included. Dental plaque samples were collected from mother-child pairs. The plaque samples were stored, transferred to the laboratory and analyzed for Streptococcus mutans strains c, f, e and k, present in mother-child pairs using Real time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. Data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis for level of similarity in Streptococcus mutans strains present in mother-child pairs. Results: A similar distribution of Streptococcus mutans strains c, f and k was identified in 28 mother-child pairs. Streptococcus mutans strain e was seen in 18 pairs. Conclusion: Less than 50% of mother-child pairs showed similarity in distribution of Streptococcus mutans strains.
Morte da imagem e eterno retorno do nonsense
Authors: Antelo Raul
Published: May 2019

Resumo: O fantasma está ligado não só a uma experiência íntima ao sujeito mas também a algo radicalmente alheio a ele, cuja saturada proximidade produz uma ausência paradoxal de sentido. O nonsense ou angústia do sujeito desvenda-nos a passagem entgre o corpo material e a lei paterna, mas exibe,ainda, a fragilidade de nossos próprios limites (dentro/fora). O debate dessas questões, em artistas como Marcel Duchamp ou teóricos como Carl Einstein, é o objetivo deste ensaio.Palavras-chave: visão; abjeção; alegoria.Abstract: There is a fantasmatic substance not only intimate with the subjet but also radically alien to it whose overproximity produces a paradoxical lack of sense. This nonsense or panic in the subject shows the passage between the material body and the paternal law as well as the fragility of our boundaries (inside/ outside). The discussion of these topics in such artists as Marcel Duchamp or theorists like Carl Einstein is the focus of this paper.Keywords: vision; abject; allegory.
Drug-induced esophagitis: Incidence, clinical and endoscopic findings, and management
Authors: UYANIKOĞLU Ahmet
Published: May 2019

Background and Aims: Drug-induced esophagitis is a rare condition,
which presents with varying severity in terms of clinical and gastroscopic
findings. This study aimed to investigate the incidence, clinical and
endoscopic findings, and management of the disease in a prospective 1-year
follow-up period. Materials and Methods:
Overall, 4185 patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at the Endoscopy
Unit of Erzurum Education and Research Hospital between February 2010 and February
2011. Among these, the patients diagnosed with drug-induced esophagitis were
followed up prospectively. Results:
Among patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, 1926 (46%) were males with
a mean age of 47.8±18.1 years (range, 12–100 years). In total, 760 patients (18%)
were diagnosed with esophagitis, of which five had drug-induced esophagitis (0.012%
of gastroscopies, 0.65% of esophagitis). All patients presented with symptoms of
retrosternal pain, odynophagia, and dysphagia. Four patients were young women, whereas
the remaining patient was an elderly man; based on the medical history and esophagogastroduodenoscopy
findings, patients diagnosed with esophagitis were using doxycycline,
tetracycline, and tramadol hydrochloride capsules. Drugs that were considered to
be the causative agents of esophagitis were discontinued, and proton pump
inhibitors were administered parenterally or orally. The patients recovered
without any complications. Conclusion:
Drug-induced esophagitis is considered to be a rare condition, presenting with varying
esophagogastroduodenoscopy findings and severe esophagitis in some cases. Discontinuing
the causative agent and administering proton pump inhibitors are sufficient to
manage the condition.
Arquitectura religiosa contemporánea

Como coordinador de este I Congreso Internacional de Arquitectura Religiosa Contemporánea «Arquitecturas de lo sagrado: memoria y proyecto», y con el fin de que todos aquellos que no estén familiarizados con el tema del congreso puedan situar convenientemente las distintas intervenciones que se harán a lo largo de estos tres días, creo que me corresponde hacer una introducción general. Por esta razón, el carácter de mi ponencia va a ser esencialmente panorámico. Pienso que, de esta forma, será más fácil entender la problemática que nos ocupa y hacerse una idea cabal de lo que se discutirá durante los tres próximos días.

He dividido mi intervención en tres partes. En primer lugar, introduciremos algunos conceptos básicos que conviene tener en cuenta antes de comenzar a hablar de arquitectura religiosa. A continuación, pasaremos revista a lo que ha ocurrido hasta ahora en este campo. Y, finalmente, veremos qué líneas de trabajo se están siguiendo en la actualidad.
Miquel Barceló y la reforma de la capilla del Santísimo
Authors: Gambús Saiz Mercè
Published: May 2019

La capilla del Santísimo de la Catedral de Mallorca ocupa el ábside lateral derecho de su cabecera. Es de traza gótica y pertenece al núcleo más antiguo de la fábrica catedralicia, procedente del siglo xiv.

La reforma realizada por el artista Miquel Barceló entre los años 2001 y 2006, es decir, desde la aprobación del proyecto hasta su finalización, ha consistido en la creación de una pared cerámica policromada de aproximadamente 300 m2, que cubre casi la totalidad de los muros arquitectónicos. Además, cinco vitrales de doce metros de altura con tonalidades de grisalla, y un conjunto de mobiliario litúrgico realizado en piedra de Binissalem y compuesto por altar, ambón, silla presidencial y dos bancos para el coro ferial, completan la intervención.

El resultado de todo este proceso creativo es un retablo escenográfico que se configura en torno a un tríptico de cerámica con tres frescos y dos cuevas. El mar, la tierra y la humanidad central. Las grutas marinas, replicantes de la arquitectura de trompas, marcan la conexión del circuito escénico como simulacro, como segunda piel.
Cinco reflexiones sobre arquitectura religiosa contemporánea
Authors: Agrasar Quiroga Fernando
Published: May 2019

De forma breve quisiera apuntar unas ideas —cinco, en concreto— sobre arquitectura religiosa contemporánea. Las pocas imágenes que he traído para apoyar esta mínima intervención son de una arquitectura no construida: el proyecto de la catedral anglicana de Coventry, del que son autores Alison y Peter Smithson (1950/51). Unos arquitectos, cuya obra y, sobre todo, cuyo pensamiento son capitales en el desarrollo de la arquitectura de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, y con los que las historiografía de la arquitectura moderna, por cierto, también tiene un deuda, además de con la arquitectura religiosa. En estas imágenes de la no construida catedral de Coventry se recogen de manera muy directa y muy intensa —como es característico en la obra de estos dos arquitectos británicos— estas cuestiones que, entiendo, son claves en la relación de la arquitectura moderna y contemporánea con la arquitectura religiosa.

La identidad del edificio de culto cristiano es uno de los problemas mas delicados que ha de afrontar la arquitectura religiosa en el arranque de este nuevo milenio. Pienso que la arquitectura religiosa contemporánea es hija de dos revoluciones: de la revolución arquitectónica, que se puede visualizar en el Movimiento Moderno; y de la revolución litúrgica, que también se puede ver muy claramente en el Movimiento Litúrgico. Se tata de dos peticiones de principio, de dos vueltas a los orígenes, de dos nuevas formulaciones conceptuales de un tema milenario como es la arquitectura religiosa, y que en el caso de la arquitectura cristiana, de la arquitectura católica, han dejado a los edificios de culto en una inédita situación de precariedad identitaria. Algo que no había sucedido en ningún momento de la historia. Podríamos decir que el frío concepto —lo que idealmente debe ser una iglesia— ha ahogado la vida. Pero también hay que decir que esto ha ocurrido sobre todo en Occidente.

Hoy el mundo ha cambiado. Vivimos en un mundo mestizo, un mundo lleno de migraciones, de conexiones, de oportunidades, de múltiples intercambios, de sistemas de información compartidos. La vida fluye rápido, muy rápido. Existen cruces de creencias, diálogo entre esas creencias, conflictos, y en muchas partes del mundo la religión aparece como un factor de cohesión social y de identidad comunitaria. Por eso nos podríamos preguntar: en este mundo global, ¿qué respuestas tiene la arquitectura como disciplina para estos fenómenos? ¿Qué respuestas podemos dar los arquitectos? ¿Qué experiencias —en este sentido— existen?

Os habéis puesto en camino a Ourense para compartir algo que lleváis muy dentro de vuestro corazón. Nuestra inquietud por la espiritualidad y por la belleza nos han reunido en este congreso de arquitectura religiosa para afrontar el tema capital de la identidad en el espacio sagrado. Hemos escuchado ponencias y comunicaciones que han renovado nuestro entusiasmo y nuestro compromiso. Gracias a todos los ponentes por esta esperanza maravillosa que ilumina nuestras inquietudes.

Este congreso también ha sido —y de una manera muy especial— un momento de gozo. Gozo de quien está buscando con ilusión, y gozo de los que escuchamos algo que con alegría estamos buscando y sabemos que estamos en el camino. Habría que decir una vez más que la arquitectura no es el problema, sino que en este momento la arquitectura es la gran oportunidad. Lo mismo se podría decir de las demás bellas artes, especialmente de la escultura, con estas expresiones que hoy hemos escuchado tan hermosamente expuestas.
Los conceptos y la identidad de la nueva arquitectura ortodoxa serbia (1990-2009)
Authors: Kadijevic Aleksandar , Pantovic Miroslav
Published: May 2019

Durante el periodo que va entre 1945 y 1990, en los tiempos del sistema comunista represivo de partido único de la antigua Yugoslavia, la construcción de nuevas iglesias que deberían haber cumplido las demandas de la Iglesia ortodoxa serbia, fue sistemáticamente dificultada y obstruida. Las autoridades comunistas, ampliamente conocidas por su ateísmo, no mostraron comprensión alguna por los sentimientos de millones de cristianos ortodoxos en el estado multinacional, expresando simultáneamente su miedo a la influencia social de la Iglesia ortodoxa serbia. Las autoridades comunistas de la antigua Yugoslavia, expresando continuamente su temor a los sentimientos nacionales serbios, además del declive de su propia influencia ideológica, trataron la construcción de nuevas iglesias como un gran peligro para el sistema de relaciones sociales pseudo igualitarias. Por otro lado, gracias a los patriotas emigrantes serbios y a sus tradicionales y cálidos sentimientos hacia su país, la construcción de nuevas iglesias continuó en algunas zonas de la antigua Yugoslavia. Sin embargo, proyectos mayores y más ambiciosos se llevaron a cabo en el extranjero, especialmente en aquellos países con una amplia diáspora serbia, como EEUU, Canadá y Australia.
Arquitectura religiosa del siglo XX en Badajoz capital (Extremadura)
Authors: González González José-Manuel
Published: May 2019

En Badajoz, capital provincial, se erigen un considerable número de nuevos templos religiosos entre 1900 y 2000, con diversos estilos que son fruto de la evolución histórica y que expresan los gustos de los comitentes. La mayoría de estos templos, de buena factura, se construyen para cubrir las necesidades espirituales de nuevos barrios recién creados. Los primeros ejemplos todavía tienen una influencia muy fuerte del historicismo y eclecticismo predominantes durante el s. XIX; con el franquismo será cuando resurja el interés por la arquitectura religiosa, en principio con un lenguaje académico y tradicional si bien la llegada de las tesis del Concilio Vaticano II impondrá cambios visibles en la concepción de nuevas parroquias. Algunos ejemplos recientes de nuestra democracia, sin embargo, no han apostado por la calidad formal que caracterizó a los ejemplos inmediatamente precedentes, que son los más originales estéticamente. Incluimos también aquéllos ejemplos realizados en barrios satélite o pueblos de colonización dependientes de Badajoz.
Arquitectura sagrada en Burundi

Una iglesia debe tener el rostro y el corazón de la tierra y del pueblo en el que se destaca. Para proyectar los espacios para el culto, es importante sumergirnos en la vida de las personas, compartir sus visiones y verdaderas aspiraciones y conocer el lenguaje de sus corazones a través de la observación de la naturaleza. La experiencia en África nos ha sugerido la expoliación de cualquier perjuicio para dar la bienvenida a la novedad de un mundo virgen, capaz de inspirar, en su simplicidad, la formas más esenciales y verdaderas, sin artificios y reminiscencias de otros mundos.

Este documento tiene por objetivo comprender cuales son los factores determinantes en la programación y en la concepción de una iglesia romana en un país de minoría católica. Pretende identificar tanto las características que determinan la identidad al espacio ecelsial como definir los criterios para conseguir su adecuación. Con este fin, se tuvieron en consideración las recomendaciones del Concilio Vaticano II y la incidencia de la tradición en la arquitectura de las iglesias. Finalmente, la discusión teórica del problema se centra sobre el caso de la nueva iglesia del convento de los Carmelitas Descalzos de Snagov, en Rumanía.
Las obras monumentales de la arquitectura religiosa contemporánea en México
Authors: San Martin Cordova Ivan
Published: May 2019

Este texto pretende analizar el fenómeno de la arquitectura religiosa monumental en México durante el siglo XX, tanto aquella realizada para albergar el culto católico, como para los cultos evangélicos y mormones que parecen disputarse la primacía urbana, a través de una monumentalidad que puede deberse tanto a la expresión del triunfo de su fe, como a una estrategia proselitista en la captura por futuros miembros de la feligresía.
Urban and Social Design
Authors: Szutenbach Stephen P.
Published: May 2019

As first described by Gaudium et Spes, we know the Church's relationship with society should and must evolve. Our moment in history, perhaps, is not as simple as past eras when the Church (the physical edifice and the institution) acted as the axis of both life and culture; churches anchored towns and their public spaces; church bells tolled the order of the day, calling all to toil and prayer alike; the liturgical calendar established the very rhythms of the seasons, and thus life itself. For most modern Westerners, it is no longer so; the Church is far removed from the daily routine. It is the sanctuary where we attend Mass on Sunday, but not much more. For those who have fallen away or have yet to be evangelized, the church building is often nothing more than part of the homogenous fabric that constitutes most urban, suburban and rural cores.

The Church no longer dominates culture and society in the way it once did, and it is forced to compete with virtual connectedness for the attentions, affections and devotion of the masses. How often have you seen a person in a beautifully constructed sacred space entirely consumed by the world encapsulated in their smart phone? Have we become so virtually connected that we are paradoxically disconnected from physical drama of the human condition happening all around us?

The church does not require more grand architectural gestures, but rather new, more networked and nuanced ways to exist and connect to each other and God in the built world; in other words, new ways to manifest to contemporary women and men “the mystery of God, who is their final destiny.” (Gaudiem et Spes)
Architecture of the university chapels
Authors: Radice Flavia
Published: May 2019

University chapels are evangelization outposts offering the possibility to give evidence on the presence of the Church in places otherwise not reached from the ordinary pastoral action. In most Italian campuses there is no place for worship. Indeed, Italy presents a variegated phenomenology of university buildings and related chapels, understandable looking at their history. The liturgical problem arises noting that university chapels are places of particular relationship with the sacraments, great invitation to meditation and occasions of architectural experimentation. Helped by some international examples, this search means to enrich the historiographical and critical outline of the architecture-liturgy connection.

The Carmelite Order has a distinctive spirit of contemplation which calls for an autonomous figurative language of architecture. Cloistered Carmelite Nuns live in a symbolic desert, the enclosure of their monastery, just as early followers of Elijah lived in hermitages scattered across Mount Carmel in the Holy Land. Despite their call to simplicity, Carmelites are permitted to creatively ornament their monastery chapels. This paper provides an introduction to the Carmelite spirit, architectural implications of their constitutions, examples of Carmelite foundations, and principles for a new Carmel.
La Cátedra de Arquitectura Sacra en la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Universidad Católica de La Plata
Authors: Gottfried Federico G.
Published: May 2019

En 1987, Juan Pablo II visita la Argentina y pide a los laicos que se comprometan con la educación y la cultura. Con la anuencia de monseñor Antonio Quarracino, arzobispo de La Plata, se crea la Cátedra de Arquitectura Sacra en la carrera de Arquitectura de la UCALP. El desafío fue —y sigue siendo— que los alumnos comprendan las necesidades del espacio sacro católico, reforzando la doctrina y los conceptos arquitectónicos. Mediante un programa que se perfeccionó a lo largo de los años, se aborda la investigación, el estudio, la reflexión, el acompañamiento docente y el hacer arquitectura. Todo ello tiene como objetivo que el alumno, alumbrado por el Evangelio, logre diseñar un edificio con la comprensión cabal del concepto iglesia. Esta búsqueda académica y personal de los educandos se refleja en anteproyectos de arquitectura construibles, que sintetizan la impronta estética y resolutiva de cada uno de ellos.
El Santuario de la Palabra en los seminarios Redemptoris Mater
Authors: Diéguez Melo María
Published: May 2019

La necesidad de nuevos espacios en los que vivir plenamente la liturgia postconciliar ha motivado en el seno del Camino Neocatecumenal la gestación y desarrollo de una propuesta artística que codifica el espacio celebrativo. Sin embargo, esta propuesta de Kiko Argüello no sólo abarca el espacio parroquial sino que se extiende a otros espacios como los centros internacionales para la nueva evangelización o los seminarios Redemptoris Mater.En el presente texto se analiza el caso particular de estos centros de formación sacerdotal relacionados con este itinerario de formación católica, en los cuales se han desarrollado espacios arquitectónicos nuevos para dar respuesta a necesidades particulares de oración y estudio de la Escritura. Éste es el caso del Santuario de la Palabra, un espacio de inspiración hebraica relacionado con la oración comunitaria y la Scrutatio Scripturae, que nos ofrece una nueva tipología muy sencilla en su estructura arquitectónica pero de gran carga simbólica y sígnica.

Moulding Malvolio into Modern Adaptations of “Twelfth Night”
Authors: Roberts Lisa-Jane
Published: May 2019

This paper explores how target-audience expectations and generic limitations on modern, mass-culture adaptations of Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night mould the characterization of his officious steward Malvolio, and dictate the degree of centrality that his subplot holds in each different version. A trans-generic application of Shlomith Rimmon-Kenan’s work on characterization will expose how the character of Malvolio is constructed and presented, first in the original play and then in three modern adaptations of Twelfth Night into different popular genres. The works selected for contrastive analysis with the original play each represent different generic fields found on today’s mass-culture market – romance fiction, teen cinema and the web-comic. Respectively, they are: The Madness of Love, a contemporary romance novel by Katharine Davies, published in 2005; She’s the Man, a Hollywood teen film directed by Andy Fickman in 2006; and a web-comic retelling of Twelfth Night by Mya Lixian Gosling, which was published on her website Good Tickle-Brain Shakespeare in 2014.
Margaret Atwood’s Visions and Revisions of "The Wizard of Oz"
Authors: Gibert Teresa
Published: May 2019

L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) and Victor Fleming’s film The Wizard of Oz (1939) play an important intertextual role in Margaret Atwood’s critical and fictional writings. Atwood has often been inspired by both versions of this modern fairy tale and has drawn attention to the main issues it raises (e.g. the transformative power of words, gendered power relationships, the connection between illusion and reality, the perception of the artist as a magician, and different notions of home). She has creatively explored and exploited themes, settings, visual motifs, allegorical content and characters (Dorothy, her three companions, the Wizard and the witches, especially Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West), subversively adapting her literary borrowings with a parodic twist and satirical intent. Parts of Life Before Man (1979) may be interpreted as a rewrite of a story defined by Atwood as “the great American witchcraft classic”.

Published: May 2019

As Estações de Tratamento de Esgoto, conhecidas como ETEs, tem a função de tratar a água presente nos esgotos das cidades devolvendo água límpida para o rio. O local de desague da água tratada geralmente apresenta características de queda d’água e vazão suficientes para gerar energia elétrica através da instalação de uma Micro Central Hidrelétrica (MCH). Foi analisada a ETE situada na cidade de Uberaba – MG e percebe-se que ela possui  uma queda d’água de 6 metros com vazão média de 465 litros por segundo, podendo gerar cerca de 22,51 kW com a utilização de uma turbina Kaplan do tipo Bulbo. Essa potência tem um custo inicial de instalação com todos os componentes necessário da MCH de R$ 136.217,89. Após isso, o presente estudo foi expandido de forma hipotética para outras Estações de Tratamento de Esgoto, mostrando a potência encontrada e o custo de instalação, variando as alturas de 1 a 11 m e a vazão de 200 a 1100 L/s.

Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, realizada no período de outubro a novembro de 2017, com 145 acadêmicos do curso de graduação em enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro no município de Uberaba-MG. Tem por objetivo analisar a percepção do acadêmico de enfermagem com relação a sua formação a partir de questões norteadoras. Os dados foram analisados através do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). No tocante as ideias acerca do curso eram positivas naqueles do primeiro ao terceiro período e negativas a partir do quarto. Os acadêmicos viram o curso como bom, capaz de oferecer oportunidades, amplos conhecimentos e bom suporte profissional. No entanto os períodos mais avançados elencaram a desvalorização do curso, contraste entre a APS e a área hospitalar, fraca relação entre teoria e prática, falta de apoio no aprendizado por parte dos serviços de saúde, desinteresse de alguns alunos, falta de atualização por parte dos docentes e que o curso necessita ser revisto. Diante a percepção dos acadêmicos, evidencia- se a necessidade de reestruturação do projeto político pedagógico com vistas ao melhor suporte aos discentes.

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo realizado a partir de questões chaves, com 25 enfermeiros da rede de atenção primária e secundária do Município de Uberaba-MG, em setembro de 2017, com análise através do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Emergiram duas categorias e cinco Discursos do Sujeito Coletivo. Foram reconhecidos pontos positivos e negativos sob a inserção do acadêmico no campo de prática na atenção primária. O acadêmico foi visto como agente de mudança e colaborador no trabalho de equipe e na assistência, sendo os pontos críticos a baixa valorização da atenção primária, a reduzida participação dos enfermeiros no planejamento das atividades e o despreparo e pouco interesse por alguns estudantes. Os enfermeiros percebem a inserção dos acadêmicos de modo favorável, entretanto consideram deficitária a comunicação e integração entre universidade e serviço.
Ethical aspects of normative theories of accounting
Authors: Rogowska Beata
Published: May 2019

The aim of this article is to show ethical aspects of the so-called normative accounting theory (NT), with particular emphasis on the ethical and normative theory (ENT), important for the development of accounting as a science, taking into consideration its social function. Attention is focused on the so-called axiological layer with regard to the methodological foundation (pragmatic methods and related metascience) concerning the work of theorists in Western Europe. Although in the years 70s shall be considered as unscientific and begin the process of domination positive theory of accounting. It seems that the 21st century has brought about a rebirth of specific ethical and social topics in the field of accounting. The importance and usefulness of ethics in accounting have been growing due to changes in accounting and social needs driven by a turbulent environment, as well as changes in science.

Objective: To develop a theoretically justiﬁed methodology for transshipping process parameters determination as well as to improve ballast quarry operational efﬁciency on the basis of optimal provision of ballasting job operation ﬁelds. Methods: Operation of crushed quarries and ballasting facilities was studied through the methods of mathematical statistics as well as correlation analysis of technical and economic as well as organizational process parameters. Results: Areas of effective interaction of ballast quarries and ballasting facilities were determined. Operation lengths of shuttle-service trains running with engineering materials from loading terminal to detraining point were optimized. Effective load values of shuttle-service trains were estimated. The results are presented in table and graphic forms. Practical importance: Effective cost value area for ballast materials is recommended in contractors for practical application. Proﬁtability of deliveries from crushed quarries was improved by providing ballasting job operation ﬁelds; guidelines on bedding of lines at railway stations and station blocks were developed as well as standards for October railway were introduced.

Objective: To provide scientific justification for the choice of measures on prevention of pyrophoric deposits. Methods: Literature data analysis as well as systems analysis method was applied. Results: Pyrophoric deposits as potential sources of ignition in steel tanks are considered in the study. After the analysis of possible factors of pyrophoric deposits spontaneous ignition in steel tanks, a directed graph is constructed to represent their interrelation. Given that the growth rate of pyrophoric deposits is directly proportional to the corrosion rate of the tank material, their dependence is obtained. The rate of pyrophoric deposits formation is analyzed by means of a specific example. It is shown that the use of gas-thermal coating with aluminum or epoxy paints inside the tank reduces the rate of pyrophoric deposits formation. Based on the principle of excluding one of the factors from the «pyrophoric triangle» (Fe-S-O2), a table on the choice of measures for prevention of pyrophoric deposits ignition was developed depending on the tank life cycle. Each of the proposed activities is applicable only to a specific tank life cycle. The exclusion of Fe is possible with the use of polymer tanks and anticorrosion coating during the construction. It is possible to eliminate S only at preliminary cleaning of oil products from it. The most common and effective way is to eliminate O2, which can be achieved at all stages of the tank life cycle. Practical importance: The choice of measures in accordance with the developed table will make it possible to prevent the formation and, as a consequence, the occurrence of accidents caused by the ignition of pyrophoric deposits in steel tanks.
Disability-Related Disparities in Access to Health Care Before (2008–2010) and After (2015–2017) the Affordable Care Act
Authors: Kaye H. Stephen
Published: May 2019

Objectives. To explore the effect of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on disparities in access to health care based on disability status, as well as age, income, race, and ethnicity.

Methods. In this study, I used logistic regression to analyze nationally representative data from 128 000 respondents to the US National Health Interview Survey from 2008 to 2010 and 2015 to 2017. Outcome variables were uninsurance over the previous 12 months, delayed or forgone health care for reasons of cost, and having a regular provider at a doctor’s office or health clinic.

Results. Over the period when the ACA was implemented, large existing disparities in access to health care were reduced for people with certain types of disabilities, young adults aged 19 to 25 years, and low-income families.

Conclusions. The ACA improved overall access to health care and reduced some disparities, but substantial disparities persist. Disability status remains associated with much greater risk of delayed or forgone care, and mental health disability is associated with greater likelihood of uninsurance.

Public Health Implications. The ACA partially achieved its goals and must not be weakened or rolled back. Further policy efforts are needed to address the remaining disparities.
Mortality in Spain in the Context of the Economic Crisis and Austerity Policies

Objectives. To analyze the mortality trend in Spain before, during, and after the economic crisis and austerity policies.

Methods. We calculated age-standardized annual mortality rates in 2001 through 2016 and estimated linear trends in mortality rates during 4 periods (2001–2007, 2008–2010, 2011–2013, and 2014–2016) using the annual percentage change (APC).

Results. All-cause mortality rate decreased during the period 2001 to 2016, although we found increases over the previous year. After adjusting for increased influenza activity (P = .743) and heat waves (P = .473), we found the greatest declines during the economic crisis (2008–2010) and the smallest in the period 2014 to 2016, in which the APC in mortality rates was −2.9 and −0.6, respectively. The APC before the crisis (2001–2007) and during austerity (2011–2013) was −2.0 and −2.2, respectively. We observed similar results in mortality from cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive diseases and motor vehicle accidents. Mortality from cancer showed the smallest decline during the crisis and the austerity period, whereas suicide increased in the period 2011 to 2013.

Conclusions. Lifestyle changes could explain the decline in mortality during the economic crisis. Increased influenza activity and the 2015 heat wave may prevent identifying a possible delayed effect of austerity policies in the slowing down of mortality decline in the period 2014 to 2016.
