Fiction contre propagande : la Chine en désenchantant
Authors: Zhang Yinde
Published: June 2020

La propagande que la Chine met en œuvre en vue de légitimer sa volonté de puissance s’avère d’une efficience à la fois coercitive et démagogique. Contrairement à des tentations de compromission constatées jusqu’en Occident, des écrivains et artistes chinois entendent désenchanter les grands récits nationaux sans cesse renouvelés, en mobilisant le pouvoir critique de l’imagination, transgressive et démystificatrice. Une contre-fiction politique se formule avec des inspirations géographiques diverses, profilant dès lors un espace de l’éveil, à l’opposé du rêve orchestré du renouveau pour une nation autocentrée et expansionniste.
De l’accessibilité comme traduction : les acteurs à l’épreuve d’un dispositif inclusif
Authors: Feuilladieu Sylviane
Published: June 2020

À l’école, l’impératif d’accessibilité découle des politiques de démocratisation scolaire et de l’éducation inclusive promues aux échelles internationale, européenne et nationale. Le processus d’accessibilisation qu’il suppose s’actualise au cœur du travail de traduction opéré par les acteurs, permettant de lui donner du sens et de le concrétiser. Les résultats d’une recherche, en collège sur une unité localisée pour l’inclusion scolaire accueillant des élèves sourds en parcours bilingue (langue des signes française-langue française) montrent la pluralité et l’articulation des registres de justification mobilisés par les acteurs qui légitiment et rendent opératoire cette accessibilisation. Pensé pour les élèves à besoins particuliers, l’impératif d’accessibilité est rendu effectif par l’imbrication de la nouvelle situation scolaire au cœur des normes de légitimité les acteurs ordinaires pouvant ainsi maintenir et renforcer leur propre accessibilité.
Quand les journaux du Nord faisaient de la résistance. La presse d’opposition dans le département du Nord sous le Second Empire
Authors: Ménager Bernard
Published: June 2020

Cet article analyse, d’une part, l’attitude des pouvoirs publics qui s’efforcent de contrôler la presse sous un régime autoritaire sans pour autant éliminer tous les organes d’opposition et, d’autre part, la réaction de celle-ci face aux contraintes qui lui sont imposées. Dans un premier temps, l’administration impériale a réussi à domestiquer les journaux demeurés indépendants du pouvoir grâce à diverses mesures de contraintes administratives et judiciaires, grâce aussi à des manœuvres financières pour s’assurer du contrôle de cette presse. Mais des failles sont apparues dans le système mis en place : modifications imprévues dans la propriété des journaux et de leurs équipes rédactionnelles, usure du système des avertissements officiels, évolutions imprévues de journaux autorisés par la suite dont on espérait une attitude plus gouvernementale. La presse d’opposition s’est enhardie, contestant selon ses organes la politique commerciale libre-échangiste, la politique extérieure jugée contraire aux intérêts de l’Église catholique ou à l’intérêt national. Tous les organes de presse n’ont cessé de réclamer le retour « des libertés nécessaires ». Cette presse a soutenu le plus souvent les candidats ne bénéficiant pas de l’investiture officielle lors des élections législatives ou locales. Malgré un tirage inférieur à la presse gouvernementale, ces journaux opposants ont joué un rôle important dans la vie politique locale qui préfigure l’âge d’or de la presse politique sous la Troisième République.
Utiliser ou contester les « usines à gaz » de l’évaluation par compétences dans les dispositifs pédagogiques ?
Authors: Vaquero Stéphane
Published: June 2020

Depuis les années 2000, les dispositifs horizontaux se diffusent au collège et au lycée, comme les Travaux personnels encadrés ( tpe ) ou les Enseignements pratiques interdisciplinaires ( epi ). Pour évaluer les élèves, les enseignants refusent souvent d’utiliser les grilles d’évaluation par compétences, jugeant qu’elles sont trop contraignantes, mais aussi contraires à l’« esprit » de ces dispositifs. Les enseignants ont préféré mettre en avant une évaluation fondée sur les qualités « expressives », « personnelles » des élèves, autant de critères qui ont fini par être intégrés dans les grilles. Ils ont ainsi, malgré eux, participé à l’essentialisation croissante du jugement professoral qui a cours dans ces dispositifs.
Supporting College Students with Disorder of Written Expression: A Web-Based Model for Teachers in Under- Resourced Contexts
Authors: Zhang Ani , Zhang Xiaodong
Published: June 2020

In many under-resourced contexts, college teachers who have students with special needs are often insufficiently supported due to external constraints, such as limited teacher training or geographical constraints. To promote educational equity as well as college teachers’ development in under-resourced contexts, this paper provides a model that highlights the role of college teachers’ self-directed development in relation to the use of web resources as knowledge suppliers. In particular, with disorder of written expression in English as the focus, the study demonstrates how college English teachers gain a systematic and multi-layered understanding of writing as a meaning-based activity through their self-directed use of web resources to best help the students. This paper concludes with implications in relation to the potential challenges of implementing the model at various levels in under-resourced contexts (e.g., the role of institutional assistance).
Design and Application of Experimental Teaching System Driven by Big Data Technology in Economics and Management Majors
Authors: Liu Qiang , Zeng Liwen
Published: June 2020

This paper focuses on several issues resulting from the current widespread application of big data technology in teaching: the difficulties of managing and storing experimental data; the problem of data loss; the difficulty in quantifying teaching processes and feedback; and the lack of any basis for experimental teaching with regards to curriculum design. In response, this paper proposes a comprehensive system for experimental teaching and analyzes the key points of that system. It also expounds the functional planning and the technical routes of the system. This paper outlines a practical path to help the development of talent, teaching, and research by developing an experimental system for teaching economics and management in the context of big data.

Authors: Acosta Corporan Rosalba , Joo Nagata Jorge , Martín García Antonio Víctor , Hernández Martín Azucena
Published: June 2020

In 21st century, competencies mediated with ICT are key for development at the educational area. This is the reason why this research aims to assess perception on level of competences of secondary school teachers on technological tools to promote collaborative work methodologies with their students and determine if said level has influence on the implementation of these experiences. Design implies a mixed model based on the application of a questionnaire divided in three parts: demographic aspects, level of knowledge on collaborative tools and experiences on collaborative work with students. Sample (n=542) corresponds to secondary education teachers from Dominican Republic. In analysis, nonparametric tests and categorizations were used. Results suggest that teachers require of a better formation on collaborative methodologies and tools mediated by ICT and, additionally, results indicate that there is a digital gap between male and female teachers, as the first group had more advantages.

Authors: Freire Vieira Paulo
Published: June 2020

Cet article rend compte d’une réflexion exploratoire sur les fondements conceptuels, la pertinence et les préalables de la démarche d’éducation pour l’écodéveloppement. Un bilan critique des activités d’éducation relative à l’environnement au Brésil pendant la dernière décennie nourrit l’argumentation. L’auteur associe la pédagogie de l’écodéveloppement à la prise en compte de l’interdépendance économique, politique, culturelle et écologique du monde moderne, de façon à stimuler la quête de lucidité au regard de l’unité du vivant et le sens de la compassion et de la non-violence active. Il témoigne aussi de l’importance du développement d’une nouvelle conception de la formation de formateurs en ce domaine.
Développement touristique et éducation relative à l’environnement : Conflits de représentations autour du projet de valorisation muséographique d’un territoire
Authors: Rousseau Olivier , Girault Yves
Published: June 2020

Dans un secteur rural au nord-est de la France, une collectivité locale souhaite relancer son économie en développant un projet de tourisme proposant diverses approches d’éducation relative à l’environnement, centrées sur l’environnement-nature. Pour la conception de ce « Pôle Nature », des personnes aux intérêts parfois très divergents (élus, chasseurs, pêcheurs, agriculteurs, naturalistes, scientifiques, éducateurs, etc.) ont été sollicitées. Dans le cadre de cet article, nous souhaitons montrer que les principales réserves et réticences exprimées sur ce projet peuvent s’interpréter par la présence d’un conflit de représentations relatives aux pratiques touristiques entre des acteurs ayant des rapports à la nature différents.
Concepts and Implications of Theory of Co-production
Authors: Abeysekera Ruwan
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this paper is to present the concepts of co-production discussed in previous literature and to discuss its implications on research and practice. This is a theoretical paper. It identifies that the extant literature in co-production presents a number of research gaps that can be addressed in future research. These gaps exist in the areas of collective co-production, dyadic relationships and contextual factors. Moreover, the practicing managers and the policy makers can also use co-production concepts identified in this paper to implement in their programmes which offer diverse benefits to the programmes and the clients.

Published: June 2020

The scientific study of epidermal ridges on the palms and toes is termed dermatoglyphics. Multiple births occur when more than one fetus results  from a single pregnancy. This study is aimed at determining the relationship if any between multiple births and palmar flexion creases. Two  hundred Igbo-Ora and one hundred Ogbomosho healthy and consenting adult female indigenes aged between 25-50 years were recruited and grouped into 4; group I consisted of multiple births women in Igbo-Ora; group II consisted of single births women in Igbo-Ora; group III consisted of multiple births women in Ogbomosho; and group IV consisted of single births women in Ogbomosho. A total of 600 palms (Igbo-Ora n=400; Ogbomosho n=200) comprising of both hands were used in the study. Palm prints samples were obtained by asking the participants to wash their hands, towel dry them, after which they were stained with stamp ink pad and prints made on A4 paper in duplicates. Palm print patterns of 105 (Igbo-Ora) and 50 (Ogbomosho) women with multiple births were compared with 95 (Igbo-Ora) and 50 (Ogbomosho) women with single births. The percentage number of primary, P and intersection, I of palmar creases with complete transverse creases, C (PIC) 300 bilaterally was significantly  greater (p < 0.005) in the hands of Igbo-Ora multiple births women (52.4 %) than their single births women (37.4%) while same trend was observed for Ogbomosho women although difference was statistically insignificant,(p > 0.005). In both Igbo-Ora and Ogbomosho women, PIC 310 bilaterally was found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05) in both hands of single births women than the multiple births women. Hence, dermatoglyphics can be said to have relationship with a woman’s tendency to giving birth to multiples.

Keywords: Multiple births, dermatoglyphics, palmar flexion creases, Ogbomosho, Igbo-Ora

The aortic arch is the segment of the thoracic aorta located between its ascending and descending portions at the level of the 4th thoracic vertebra. Its main collateral branches constitute the supra aortic trunks (SAT). We reported 4 cases of variations of these trunks. The first two cases show 2 supra aortic trunks with a right bicarotido-subclavian trunk; the third, 4 supra aortic trunks with a right vertebral-subclavian trunk and the fourth, an origin’s variant and an aberrant course of the supra aortic trunks. These variants find their explanation in the embryology and are important to be known by the neurologist, the neurosurgeon, the vascular surgeon, the otolaryngologist and the radiologist for an adequate diagnosis and therapy.

Keywords: Aortic arch, SAT, Aberrant path.
Morphometric study of the meningeal sheath of the oculo motor nerve in the latero-sellar lodge: Neuro surgical interest
Authors: Séry Fréjus , Koffi Rodrigue
Published: June 2020

The meningeal sheath of the oculomotor nerve is also known that the latero-sellar lodge. It has both dural and extra-dural components. This sheath  contains vascular elements including the carotid and nervous siphon, the motor nerves of the eye to which are added the division branches V1 and V2 of the trigeminal nerve. The oculomotor nerve runs through this lodge wrapped in its meningeal sheath. The purpose of this study was to document the dimensions of the different segments of the nerve as it crosses the lodge. Eight pairs of lodges were the subject of this study. Dead bodies fixed with 10% formalin for two to three weeks underwent a craniotomy. After removal of the brain, nerve III and its meningeal envelope were dissected and exposed. The different segments of the nerve were measured in both sides. The entrance orifice of the porus of the oculomotor nerve III was located behind the anterior clinoid process to 7.2 mm (extreme from 3 to 13mm) on the right and to 7.40mm (extreme from 4 to 12) on the left. The meningeal cul-de-sac represented the intra-conical segment and was either 5.2mm long (extreme from 4 to 6.5mm) or short 3.25mm (extreme from 2 to 3.5mm). The supra-cavernous segment measured on the right 5.2 mm (extreme from 2 to 8 mm) and on the left 4.6 mm (extreme from 3 to 7 mm). The latero-sellar lodge, a complex and narrowed region is crossed by nervous elements each in its meningeal sheath. This deserves an approach by surgical microdissection.

Key words: Oculomotor nerves - meningeal cone - measurement – cadaver – latero-sellar lodge.

Jedan od strateških ciljeva Europske unije (EU) u području zdravlja životinja proglašenje je cjelokupnog prostora EU slobodnim od klasične tzv. „zemaljske“ bjesnoće do 2020. godine. Zahvaljujući uspješnosti oralnog cijepljenja, koje se u Europi provodi još od 1978., većina zemalja zapadne i srednje Europe slobodna je od bjesnoće još od 20.-21.og stoljeća. Zadnji slučaj bjesnoće u Hrvatskoj zabilježen je u proljeće 2014., nakon samo tri godine od početka provedbe nacionalnog programa oralnog cijepljenja protiv bjesnoće. Ono što nam slijedi je dobivanje službenog statusa zemlje slobodne od bjesnoće, a posljedično tome i prijelaz na novu politiku kontrole bjesnoće u zemlji. Međutim, shvaćajući bjesnoću kao globalnu prijetnju zdravlju, a posebice obzirom na prisutnost virusa u šišmiša potreban je njen stalni nadzor.

Published: June 2020

Poultry meat is the primary meat consumed in Algeria, surpassing sheep and beef in the 1980s. However, this product is often at risk of being contaminated by Salmonella. Salmonellosis is a foodborne disease with tens of millions of human cases estimated to occur worldwide, and resulting in more than a hundred thousand deaths per year. According to the World Health Organization, salmonellosis in humans is generally contracted through the consumption of contaminated food of animal origin, including poultry. The main objective of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with Salmonella contamination of
broiler carcasses at the slaughterhouse. Sixty fresh chicken carcasses from six slaughterhouses were subjected to bacteriological analysis in accordance with AFNOR (French Standardization Association) standards. Statistical analyses showed an impact of the hygienic quality of the slaughter process on the likelihood of Salmonella contamination of poultry meat. A correlation (r=0.84) was found between hygienic slaughter practices and Salmonella contamination of chicken carcasses. The average level of TAMB (total aerobic mesophilic bacteria) was high in carcasses positive for Salmonella (t-test = 0.019). Not washing live bird transport crates was associated with an increasing risk of Salmonella contamination carcasses (odds ratio/OR = 28). The mean level of TAMB was higher in the presence of the following risk factors: old and small slaughterhouse, not washing live bird transport crates, manual
bleeding, scalding type (soaking), non-renewal of scalding water, no disinfectant in water, no ventilation drying, no sanitary facilities. The identification of risk factors responsible for bacterial contamination of broiler meat is essential to determine the most effective methods of prevention.

Published: June 2020

The study presents a retrospective case study. This aim was to determine
whether lactate, glucose and total protein in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be used as specific biochemical markers for rapid differential diagnosis between intervertebral disk herniation and spinal
tumors. Canine blood (n=9) and cerebrospinal fluid (n=9) were collected
for chemistry analysis in nine dogs divided into two groups: intervertebral disk herniation group (IVDHG) (n=6) and spinal tumor group (TG) (n=3). Absorption spectrophotometry was used for quantitative
determination of the concentrations of lactate, glucose and total protein in serum and CSF. Lactate concentration in serum and CSF and glucose concentration in CSF were 40-60% higher in subjects in TG compared to the IVDHG group. Serum lactate concentrations in the IVDHG group were 60% lower than physiological values. The results indicate that elevated concentration of glucose, lactate and total proteins in CSF and serum are indicative of a tumor, while a decrease of serum lactate and other parameters within normal range indicate disk herniation.

The discount cash flow model must incorporate, in emerging economic systems, a conceptual framework for the inflation and valuation in two currencies treatment. The start point are the parity theories and Fisher effect, adding fuzzy logic for project uncertainty variables: interest rates, inflation, exchange rates and quantities, becoming one of its main contributions. The structure of the paper as follows: they are developed the parity theories and model´s equation at the fuzzy logic framework. Its functioning is illustrated with case of a firm located in an emerging and inflationary economy like Argentina, using spreadsheets. Finally, the results obtained showed the consistency with the parity theories, adding fuzzy logic for the uncertainty treatment, at the comprehensive framework of discounted cash flow model in two currencies.

This paper aims to diagnose the current situation of the Colombian wholesale electricity market in relation to the markets of Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay. The analysis has been carried out from the point of view of existing supply and demand in the market, of the market participants, of the types of market that have been able to be constituted depending on the regulatory transformations that have taken place, and of the institutional structure on which they are based. This analysis will make it possible to identify whether the Colombian market lags behind the region or whether, on the contrary, it can be considered a benchmark for the other countries in the region.
ESG companies classification: application to Nasdaq companies
Authors: Oliver-Muncharaz J.
Published: June 2020

This paper analyzes the discrimination of sustainable companies taking into account their overall ESG score. For this, a linear discriminant model is described through economic and financial variables, the size of the companies, as well as their membership in the industrial sector. The model has a moderately high percentage of successes, although not symmetrical for the two classifications proposed. On the other hand, there is an improvement in the results by incorporating only those variables that have been significant and with greater weight in the model. It’s observed how the size of the company is a very important discriminatory variable. This result is confirmed in the literature in other works.

Abstract. We report in this paper the development of an embedded ultralight spectrometer (<3 kg) based on tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (with a sampling rate of 24 Hz) in the mid-infrared spectral region. This instrument is dedicated to in situ measurements of the vertical profile concentrations of three main greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and water vapour (H2O) – via standard weather and
tethered balloons. The plug and play instrument is compact, robust, cost-effective, and autonomous. The instrument also has low power consumption and is non-intrusive. It was first calibrated during an in situ experiment on an ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System) site for several days, then used in two experiments with several balloon flights of up to 30 km altitude in the Reims region of France in 2017–2018 in collaboration with Météo-France CNRM (Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques). This paper shows the valuable interest of the data measured by the AMULSE (Atmospheric Measurements by Ultra-Light Spectrometer) instrument during the APOGEE (Atmospheric Profiles of Greenhouse Gases) measurement experiment, specifically for the vertical profiles of CO2 and CH4, measurements of which remain very sparse. We have carried out several experiments showing that the measured profiles have several applications: the validation of simulations of infrared satellite observations, evaluating the quality of chemical profiles from chemistry transport models (CTMs) and evaluating the quality of retrieved chemical profiles from the assimilation of infrared satellite observations. The results show that the simulations of infrared satellite observations from IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) and CrIS (Cross-track Infrared Sounder) instruments performed in operational mode for numerical weather prediction (NWP) by the radiative transfer model (RTM) RTTOV (Radiative Transfer for the TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder) are of good quality. We also show that the MOCAGE (Modèle de Chimie Atmosphérique de Grande Echelle) and CAMS (Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service) CTMs modelled ozone profiles fairly accurately and that the CAMS CTM represents the methane in the troposphere well compared to MOCAGE. Finally, the measured in situ ozone profiles allowed us to show the good quality of the retrieved ozone profiles by assimilating ozone-sensitive infrared spectral radiances from the IASI and CrIS.

Abstract. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) offer innovative capabilities for providing new perspectives on the atmosphere, and therefore atmospheric scientists are rapidly expanding their use, particularly for studying the planetary boundary layer. In support of this expansion, from 14–20 July 2018 the International Society for Atmospheric Research using Remotely-piloted Aircraft (ISARRA) hosted a community flight week, dubbed the Lower Atmospheric Profiling Studies at Elevation – a Remotely-piloted Aircraft Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE, de Boer et al., 2020a). This field campaign spanned a one-week deployment to Colorado’s San Luis Valley, involving over 100 students, scientists, engineers, pilots, and outreach coordinators. These groups conducted intensive field operations using unmanned aircraft and ground-based assets to develop comprehensive datasets spanning a variety of scientific objectives, including a total of nearly 1300 research flights totaling over 250 flight hours. This article introduces this campaign and lays the groundwork for a special issue on the LAPSE-RATE project. The remainder of the special issue provides detailed overviews of the datasets collected and the platforms used to collect them. All of the datasets covered by this special issue have been uploaded to a LAPSE-RATE community set up at the Zenodo data archive (https://zenodo.org/communities/lapse-rate/).
“A brief history of the nymphet's tribulations”: The Interpretation of Obscenity in the Early Reception of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita
Authors: Sayers Luke
Published: June 2020

The publication of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita was scandalous, but few seem to know why. One explanation is that Lolita's sexual content offended readers, and while this is in part true, a thorough analysis of the early reviews and criticism of Lolita between 1955 and 1960 reveals that there were many other reasons for the scandal, including the book's humor, its message, and its style. Despite some objections to the book, many commentators came to its defense, but in their attempts to defend the book from accusations of obscenity or immorality, they consistently adopted a negative view of the character Lolita. This article examines these early interpretive trends and their ethical implications.
Attending to the Nightingale: On a Multispecies Ethnomusicology
Authors: Silvers Michael
Published: June 2020

Posthumanism, now in the mainstream of the humanities and humanistic social sciences, poses a challenge to ethnomusicology, a discipline inherently focused on the human and social aspects of music. Drawing from a survey of birds in the ethnomusicological scholarship and the author’s research on music and birds in Brazil, this article proposes an approach to ethnomusicology that emphasizes nonhuman factors and their own properties and effects as a method for better understanding music as a meaningful human phenomenon.

O pós-humanismo, hoje no centro das correntes das ciências humanas e sociais, coloca um desafio à etnomusicologia, área intrinsecamente focada nos aspectos humanos e sociais da música. Partindo de uma visão geral das aves no campo etnomusicológico e da pesquisa do autor sobre música e aves no Brasil, o presente artigo propõe uma abordagem etnomusicológica que dá ênfase a fatores não humanos e suas propriedades e efeitos característicos como um método para entender melhor a música como um fenômeno humano significativo.
Financial Impact of Irrigation and Nitrogen: Topdressing in Rural Enterprises of Sugarcane in Uruaçu, Brazil
Authors: Cunha Gabriela Nobre , Pasqualetto Antonio
Published: June 2020

The success of a project depends on a good planning of activities focused on increasing yield and minimizing production costs. The objective of the present work was to assess the economic viability of irrigated sugarcane crops (plant crop and ratoon crop) under nitrogen topdressing, in northern state of Goiás (GO), Brazil. The data needed for the research were obtained in a sugarcane crop area in the Estrela do Lago Farm, which belongs to the Uruaçu industry, in the municipality of Uruaçu, GO. The CTC4 sugarcane variety was used, which has high tillering and yield, and great adaptability to mechanized planting and harvest. The sugarcane was planted in double rows spaced 1.80 m apart. The total nitrogen topdressing rate (100 Kg ha-1) was divided into three applications with 60-day intervals during the crop development. The costs were obtained based on the following items: mechanized operations; manual operations; consumed material, and other expenses. The production cost was calculated using the total production operational cost structure used by the Brazilian Institute of Agricultural Economy. The highest costs for sugarcane in plant crop, with and without nitrogen topdressing, are due to mechanized operations and consumed material, which reached approximately 60% of the costs.
Empoderamiento y relación con la satisfacción laboral en personas con movilidad reducida | Empowerment and its relationship with job satisfaction in people with reduced mobility
Authors: Suriá Martínez Raquel
Published: June 2020

En este estudio se explora la posible asociación entre diferentes perfles de empoderamiento y la satisfacción laboral de una muestra de trabajadores con movilidad reducida. La Escala de Satisfacción Laboral General (1979) y la Escala de Empoderamiento (1997), fueron administradas a 67 trabajadores con movilidad reducida, con edades comprendidas entre 26 y 52 años (M=31,22, D.T.= 1,35). Los resultados indicaron que los participantes presentaron niveles moderados de satisfacción laboral, observándose que los trabajadores con mayor nivel de empoderamiento indicaron mayor satisfacción laboral. Asimismo, el índice de correlación mostró una alta asociación entre satisfacción laboral y empoderamiento. Esto sugiere que el contexto laboral es uno de los ámbitos prioritarios para fomentar el empoderamiento de los trabajadores con movilidad reducida y con ello mejorar su bienestar laboral.

Published: June 2020

Entende-se que a segurança da informação é um problema crítico na área da saúde pois está relacionada à sistemas de informação que contém dados críticos de pacientes e seus tratamentos. Neste contexto, buscou-se responder ao seguinte problema: Quais são os principais frameworks de segurança da informação utilizados na área de saúde? O objetivo deste artigo consiste em revisar sistematicamente artigos que abordam estudos sobre a segurança da informação na saúde e identificar os principais frameworks e focos de discussão de segurança da informação citados na literatura. Como resultado, observa-se que somente 16 estudos citaram frameworks com enfoque na gestão da segurança da informação. Destes, somente 12 citaram a norma ISO/IEC 27799 e a norma HIPAA, específicas para a área de saúde. Conclui-se, assim, que poucos estudos foram produzidos nos últimos 10 anos, deixando uma lacuna no contexto de países em desenvolvimento ou hospitais de pequeno porte.

Published: June 2020

O estresse é resultado da relação entre o indivíduo e seu ambiente produtivo interferindo na capacidade profissional e na qualidade de vida. O presente estudo objetivou analisar o impacto do estresse na qualidade de vida e condutas de saúde de residentes multiprofissionais de um hospital universitário. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo, realizado junto a totalidade de residentes multiprofissionais em saúde (RMS) (n=98) de um hospital de ensino. Utilizou-se questionários validados: WHOQOL-BREF, avaliando-se a qualidade de vida; National College Health Risk Behavior Survey, para avaliar condutas de saúde e o ‘Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos de Lipp’ para avaliação do estresse. Aplicou-se testes t de student, qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher, obtendo-se que a maioria (n=63; 64%) dos RMS não apresentou nenhum sinal de estresse e 46% (n=35) algum nível de estresse, sendo 85% na fase resistência. Verificou-se que os RMS com estresse apresentaram QV significativamente menor nos domínios físico, psicológico meio ambiente e QV global (p0,05). Às condutas de saúde, houve associação de estresse apenas com tentativa de suicídio (p=0,0005), as demais condutas: uso do tabaco, comportamento alimentar, prática de atividade física, uso do álcool e outras drogas, comportamento sexual, segurança no trânsito e comportamentos relacionados à violência, não apresentaram associação (p0,05). Conclui-se que a queda na qualidade de vida dos RMS com estresse é preocupante, e mesmo com poucas mudanças de condutas de saúde com a exposição ao estresse entre os investigados, defende-se a relevância e a gravidade do achado em relação à variável tentativa de suicídio.
SNIP Light User Manual

Published: June 2020

A systemic approach to identifying road locations that exhibit safety problems was provided by the Safety Needs Identification Program (SNIP and SNIP2) developed by the Purdue University Center for Road Safety (CRS). The new version SNIP Light has been developed to provide other uses with planning level traffic safety analysis capability for a wider range of uses including Metropolitan Planning Agencies (MPOs) who want the tool for planning cost-effective safety programs in their metropolitan areas. The SNIP Light reduces the demand of computing and data storage resources and replaces the SQL server database system an integrated module coded in-house which is considerably faster than the original component. Furthermore, certain proficiency required to install and use the old version is no longer needed thanks to the intuitive single-window interface and executing file operations in the background without the user’s involvement. Some operations, such as optimizing funding of safety projects, are removed to simplify the tool.
Innate Immunity and Autoimmune Diseases
Authors: Catalina Fandiño Vargas Marcela
Published: June 2020

The innate immune response is responsible for the initial defense against invading pathogens and signs of damage; in turn, it activates the adaptive immune response to result in highly specific and lasting immunity, mediated by the clonal expansion of antigen-specific B and T lymphocytes. Inflammation is the acute response to infection and tissue damage to limit aggression to the body. It is a complex reaction of vascularized tissues to infection, toxin exposure or cell injury that includes extravasation of plasma proteins and leukocytes. Paradoxically, uncontrolled and prolonged inflammation can result in secondary damage and the development of immune pathology in the host. The components of the innate immune system have recently been studied as responsible mechanisms in various chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, asthma and allergies, among others. Autoimmune disease is an attack on auto tissues by the adaptation of the immune system. In general, such diseases are characterized by autoantibodies and/or autoreactive lymphocytes directed at antigens against themselves. The innate immune system is often considered an effector of self-reactive lymphocytes, but also provides protection. Studies in mice with specific gene-directed mutations show that defects in innate immune system proteins may predispose to the development of a systemic lupus erythematosus-like syndrome (lupus) characterized by autoantibodies against double-stranded DNA (ds DNA) or nuclear components. This seems to be due to a failure in the removal of apoptotic cells or nuclear waste. These observations imply that the innate immune system has a general protective role against autoimmune disease. For example, in systemic diseases such as lupus, innate immunity is important in the elimination of nuclear antigens and, therefore, in the improvement of tolerance to B lymphocytes. Alternatively, in specific organ disorders such as type diabetes 1 o Crohn’s disease, the innate immune system can be protective by eliminating pathogens that trigger or exacerbate the disease or regulate the presentation of antigens for T lymphocytes. Discuss various disease models in which the innate immune system could provide a protective role, deficiencies in the regulation of B lymphocyte signaling through the antigen/receptor or in the clearance of lupus antigens, (dsDNA and nuclear proteins), can lead to a disease similar to lupus. The repertoire of B cells seems to be very biased toward self-activity, as, possibly, that of the T-cell. This tendency toward self-activity is not surprising because B and T cells are positively selected against highly conserved autoantigens.
Metabolic Disorders in Patients with Chronic Osteomyelitis: Etiology and Pathogenesis
Authors: Tsiskarashvili Archil , Zagorodny Nikolay , Rodionova Svetlana , Gorbatyuk Dmitry
Published: June 2020

In this study, we discuss the peculiarities of metabolic disorders that follow the development of chronic osteomyelitis. For the purposes of this study, we analyzed the available data as well as results of our own clinical and scientific research. Chronic osteomyelitis leads not only to the destruction of bone tissue by pathogen but also to the shift of equilibrium between osteogenesis and bone resorption in the locus of bone infections. Such shift leads to additional damage not only to the bone cells (primarily osteoblasts) but also to the bone matrix. The final complications include difficulties with bone consolidation and prolongation of therapy, even when the patient is treated using an external fixation method like Ilizarov or similar techniques. Etiopathogenetic therapy, aimed at correction of metabolic disorders, allows to shorten the bone consolidation time (and respectively, the treatment time), preventing different pathogenetic processes that exacerbate and enhance each other’s effects. This study emphasizes the importance of etiopathogenetic therapy of metabolic disorders in patients with chronic osteomyelitis. Etiopathogenetic therapy should be combined with other necessary methods of the patient’s treatment, such as surgical debridement of the infection locus and antibiotic therapy.
Pathogenesis-Related Proteins in Wine and White Wine Protein Stabilization
Authors: Tian Bin , Harrison Roland
Published: June 2020

Protein stabilisation in white wine is of great concern to winemakers as denaturation of wine proteins may cause haze formation, which is usually considered a wine fault. Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins derived from grapes are the major soluble proteins remaining in the finished wine, which are mainly responsible for haze formation. The development of PR proteins in grapes during ripening and the extraction of PR proteins from grapes into juice can largely affect the concentration of PR proteins in the final wine, which consequently influence wine protein stability. Bentonite fining is the most common method to remove proteins in white wine before bottling, but it can cause the loss of wine volume and the removal of beneficial aromas. Thus, a number of alternative methods have been proposed for their potential to replace bentonite fining.
