A Critical Evaluation of the Commodification Thesis
Authors: Williams Colin C.
Published: April 2018

A recurring theme across the social sciences is that non-capitalist production is disappearing, albeit slowly and unevenly, and is being replaced by a commodified economy in which goods and services are produced by capitalist firms for a profit under conditions of market exchange. In this paper, however, I evaluate critically this commodification thesis. Even in the heartland of commoditisation – the advanced economies – large economic spaces are identified where alternative economic relations and motives prevail. Rather than view them as leftovers of pre-capitalist formations, this paper argues that they are the result of both the contradictions inherent in the structural shifts associated with the pursuit of commodification as well as the existence of ‘cultures of resistance’. As such, they are viewed as ‘spaces of hope’ which highlight the demonstrable construction and practice of alternative social relations and logic's of work outside profit-motivated market-orientated exchange.
Proprietary control in cyberspace: three moments of copyright growth in China
Authors: Han Dong
Published: April 2018

Drawing on critical research on the political economy of the media and intellectual property rights (IPR), this research examines copyright growth in China’s digital media. It sees copyright development as the creation of private cultural property, an ongoing process and part of China’s media marketization and the globalization of IPR. It focuses on three critical moments in the creation of digital copyright: the invention of ground rules by state organs, a bottom-up challenge to copyright control, and the correlated development between law and business agendas. It argues that digital copyright is part of China’s market-oriented reform, West-looking legal transplantation, elite-driven policymaking, and business-friendly Internet governance. The law and its implementation manifest the ascendance of proprietary cultural control in Chinese cyberspace, which needs to be assessed historically and critically.

Published: April 2018

To describe the relationship between jaw opening and access to the deep parotid window, we identified the following distances in 10 human skulls: symphysis to angle of mandible, mastoid tip to angle of mandible, angle of mandible to condylar process, and mastoid tip to condylar process. With the jaw closed and open, these distances were measured with 1 to 3 wooden blocks, each measuring 1 cm, between the upper and lower incisors. The triangular deep parotid area formed by the last 3 distances was calculated. A repeated measures analysis of variance showed a significant decrease in the deep parotid area with increasing interincisal distance (P <. 01). A generalized estimating equation model demonstrated a statistically significant decreasing area of the deep parotid window with increasing interincisal distance. These results suggest that nasal intubation may improve access to the parotid window.
Using Alphabet Knowledge to Track the Emergent Literacy Skills of Children in Head Start
Authors: Heilmann John J. , Moyle Maura J. , Rueden Ashley M.
Published: April 2018

Having strong alphabet knowledge early in life is a powerful predictor of long-term reading and academic outcomes. Upon tracking the alphabet knowledge of 172 children enrolled in their first year of Head Start, we identified that most of the children could name fewer than 10 letters at the beginning of the academic year. Approximately, one third of the children with low alphabet knowledge in fall made significant progress and demonstrated mastery of 10 or more letters in spring. For the children who started the year knowing fewer than 10 letters, receptive vocabulary was the best predictor of who would make gains in alphabet knowledge throughout the year. In addition, most children who entered Head Start knowing fewer than 10 letters knew letters from their first names and the letters A, B, or O. Implications for the management of emergent literacy skills for children at-risk for academic difficulties are discussed.

Published: April 2018

Objective

Delirium in critically ill patients is considered a risk factor for various long-term consequences. We evaluated delirium and associated long-term outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome with non-H1N1 and H1N1- associated severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP) who had been recommended to take antiviral drugs associated with delirious symptoms as adverse effects.

Methods

Of 64 patients, 42 survivors (H1N1, 15; non-H1N1, 27) were analyzed regarding the relationship between medication and the duration of delirium in the intensive care unit. During follow-up (n = 23), we assessed cognitive abilities, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), physical capacity, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Results

The incidence of delirium was 88%. There was no difference in the incidence and duration of delirium between patients with H1N1 and non-H1N1 infection. The haloperidol and opioid doses were associated with a longer delirium duration. The delirium duration was correlated with reduced cognitive performance in motor skills, memory function, and learning efficiency. Patients with PTSD (16%) had a significantly longer delirium duration and low mental HRQoL.

Conclusions

H1N1 infection and corresponding antiviral medication had no impact on delirium. The duration of delirium in these patients was associated with impairments in various outcome parameters, illustrating the burden of sCAP.

The EU research project SafetyCube pays specific attention to serious road injuries, defined as nonfatal road traffic casualties with an injury severity level of MAIS3+. By means of surveys, information was collected on current practices concerning the estimation of the number of MAIS3+ casualties and on costs related to serious road injuries in different European countries. Moreover, the effect of differences in practices on the estimated number of MAIS3+ casualties was investigated by applying different methods to the same data. Finally, by means of a literature review, analysis of additional case studies, and burden of injury calculations, health impacts of serious road injuries were investigated. This paper presents six main lessons learned from these activities. Practices concerning the estimation of the number of MAIS3+ casualties differ between countries; some countries apply correction factors to police data, other countries use hospital data, and a third group of countries uses linked police and hospital data. Practices also differ concerning the selection of MAIS3+ road traffic injuries within hospital data. Differences in methodology appear to affect the MAIS3+ estimate. Therefore, one should be careful when comparing figures from different countries. The SafetyCube guidelines can support further harmonization. It is important to reduce the number of serious road injuries because injuries can have major impacts on a casualty’s life and pose a burden to society. About 75% of the MAIS3+ road traffic casualties are not fully recovered 3 years postcrash. Moreover, serious road injuries cost countries up to 2.7% of their gross domestic product.
Feminist Identity, Attitudes Toward Feminist Prototypes, and Willingness to Intervene in Everyday Sexist Events
Authors: Weis Alexandra S. , Redford Liz , Zucker Alyssa N. , Ratliff Kate A.
Published: April 2018

Many women eschew the feminist label despite believing in gender equality. In order to effectively promote feminist change, it is important to understand the factors involved in feminist attitudes, identification, and behavior. In the present research, we helped clarify the relations among these factors. In a survey of 428 U.S. women, we found that participants with stronger attitudes toward gender equality and more favorable explicit and implicit attitudes toward feminist prototypes were more likely to claim a feminist label. And those who did so reported greater willingness to intervene when confronted with everyday sexist behavior, particularly if they perceived that they personally were vulnerable to the effects of sexism. We suggest that improving attitudes toward feminist prototypes may help promote feminist identification, and informing women about the pervasiveness of sexism, including their personal vulnerability, may promote willingness to act after the feminist label has been adopted.

The Cooperative Effect of Size and Crystallinity Degree on the Resorption of Biomimetic Hydroxyapatite for Soft Tissue Augmentation
Authors: Iafisco Michele , Varoni Elena , Battistella Elisa , Pietronave Stefano , Prat Maria , Roveri Norberto , Rimondini Lia
Published: April 2018

Two kinds of hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals were studied as subcutaneous fillers in order to evaluate how their different degree of crystallinity and dimensions influence in vivo resorption. By appropriately adjusting the synthesis temperature, poorly crystalline HA (HApc) and highly crystalline HA (HAhc) were synthesized into clusters of needle-shaped crystals of about 50 nm and plate-shaped crystals of about 100 nm, respectively. The clusters of HApc had larger dimensions (30 μm) than those of HAhc (3 μm). Subcutaneous in vivo inoculations were performed in ten 6-month-old FVB female mice. HAhc underwent complete macroscopic resorption already 4 weeks after the implantation while HApc still showed agglomerates at the eighth week. This unexpected finding may be ascribed to the different size and morphology of the HAhc nanocrystals responsible for a lower aggregation and microcluster dimension than HApc nanocrystals.
Sanitation service delivery in smaller urban areas (Mzuzu and Karonga, Malawi)

Published: April 2018

This paper assesses the provision of sanitation services in two urban areas in northern Malawi, both with populations under 150,000, to determine the potential for private sector enterprises to contribute to longer-term self-reliance as part of the overall sanitation situation. The paper shows that most households in the two study areas use pit latrines and remain unserved with regard to both faecal sludge management and solid waste removal. Local governments have been unable to offer adequate coverage of sanitation services, and community-based organizations are doing very little that is relevant to the issue. This gap offers a viable business opportunity for private sanitation service providers. Of these two urban areas, Karonga Town has no formal private sector services, but Mzuzu City has pit emptying and solid waste collection services, plus some small-scale manufacturers of pre-made pit latrine slabs. The paper explores these activities, considering their accessibility to low-income customers. It closes with suggestions regarding the potential for building on what is currently available.
Medicare Bundled Payments for Post-Acute Care: Characteristics and Baseline Performance of Participating Skilled Nursing Facilities
Authors: Cen Xi , Temkin-Greener Helena , Li Yue
Published: April 2018

Medicare bundled payment models have focused on post-acute care as a key component of improving the efficiency and quality of health care. This study investigated the characteristics and baseline performance of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) that participated in Medicare Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Initiative Model 3. As of July 2016, 657 SNFs participated in 7,932 episodes in risk-bearing phase. Our retrospective analyses found that larger facilities, higher occupancy rate, chain affiliation, better five-star overall rating, and higher market competition for SNF care were associated with increased likelihood of enrolling in clinical episodes in Model 3, whereas not-for-profit ownership, higher adjusted staffing levels, higher percentage of Medicaid residents, and rural location were associated with reduced likelihood of participation in Bundled Payments for Care Improvement. Policy makers should consider approaches to encourage participation of post-acute care providers in this voluntary program and evaluate its impact on patient selection, cost of care, and health outcomes.
Is fatigue after work a barrier for leisure-time physical activity? Cross-sectional study among 10,000 adults from the general working population
Authors: Bláfoss Rúni , Micheletti Jéssica K. , Sundstrup Emil , Jakobsen Markus D. , Bay Hans , Andersen Lars L.
Published: April 2018

Aim: In spite of the many health-related benefits of regular physical activity, fatiguing work may be a barrier to performing leisure-time physical activity. This study investigates the association between work-related fatigue and the duration of low- and high-intensity leisure-time physical activity in workers with sedentary and physically demanding jobs. Methods: From the 2010 round of the Danish Work Environment Cohort Study, currently employed wage earners from the general working population ( N=10,427) replied to questions about work-related fatigue (predictor) and duration of low- and high-intensity leisure-time physical activity (outcome). Associations were modelled using general linear models controlling for various confounders. Results: Among workers with physically demanding jobs, higher levels of work-related fatigue were associated with gradually lower levels of leisure-time physical activity – for low, moderate and high levels of work-related fatigue the duration of high-intensity leisure-time physical activity was 133 (95% confidence interval (CI) 127–178), 134 (95% CI 109–160) and 113 (95% CI 86–140) min per week, respectively (trend test p<0.001). The duration of high-intensity leisure-time physical activity was lower among older workers (≥50 years) compared to younger workers (<50 years) (132 ± 126 vs 168 ± 150 min per week) ( p<0.0001). Conclusions: The duration of high-intensity leisure-time physical activity gradually decreases with increased work-related fatigue in workers with physically demanding jobs. Older workers perform less high-intensity physical activity than younger workers. Workplaces should consider initiatives to allow workers with physically demanding jobs and older workers to perform physical exercise during working hours and thereby increase physical capacity to meet the job demands.

Evaluating the Contribution of EEG Power Profiles to Characterize and Discriminate Posttraumatic Stress Symptom Factors in a Combat-Exposed Population
Authors: Sheerin Christina M. , Franke Laura M. , Aggen Steven H. , Amstadter Ananda B. , Walker William C.
Published: April 2018

This study investigated the use of resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) data to help differentiate posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom factors. The sample, 147 combat-exposed OIF/OEF (Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom) Veterans and service members, was a polytrauma population with variable PTSD and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) diagnoses. Participants completed the PTSD Checklist (PCL) and resting-state EEG was assessed for 10 minutes, with eyes closed. Regional averages of absolute power in alpha, beta, delta, and theta frequency bands were computed to estimate a single EEG common factor per band. An oblique 4 common-factor model was then fit to the 17 PCL items that included a residual EEG factor as an exogenous predictor with the group mean effect of mTBI on the EEG factor removed. Separate comparative model testing sequences for the alpha, beta, delta, and theta EEG factor frequency bands were conducted. An inverse relationship of delta and theta frequency bands on avoidance and numbing symptom factors (but not re-experiencing and hyperarousal) was found. Results provide evidence for possible neurobiological basis for the 4 PTSD symptom factors.
Hostage authorship and the problem of dirty hands
Authors: Bülow William , Helgesson Gert
Published: April 2018

This article discusses gift authorship, the practice where co-authorship is awarded to a person who has not contributed significantly to the study. From an ethical point of view, gift authorship raises concerns about desert, fairness, honesty and transparency, and its prevalence in research is rightly considered a serious ethical concern. We argue that even though misuse of authorship is always bad, there are instances where accepting requests of gift authorship may nevertheless be the right thing to do. More specifically, we propose that researchers may find themselves in a situation much similar to the problem of dirty hands, which has been frequently discussed in political philosophy and applied ethics. The problem of dirty hands is relevant to what we call hostage authorship, where the researchers include undeserving authors unwillingly, and only because they find it unavoidable in order to accomplish a morally important research goal.
Youth, Music and DIY Careers
Authors: Bennett Andy
Published: April 2018

Since the 1970s, the concept of DIY (do-it-yourself) culture has evolved from a bluntly resistant statement of independence from dominant forms of capitalist cultural production and dissemination to a more nuanced expression of creative cultural practice. While such practice remains resistant to more mainstream forms of cultural production and consumption it has at the same time evolved a level of professionalism aimed towards ensuring cultural and, where possible, economic sustainability. In a time where the concept of the cultural industries has become commonplace across many regions of the world and where various attempts are being made to co-opt or suppress forms of cultural production based on their perceived value or threat to the status quo, DIY careers become viable ways in which to mark out and maintain DIY cultural spaces as both ethical and aesthetically meaningful. The articles that make up this special issue consider the contemporary significance of DIY careers with specific reference to young people and music-making practices in a global context.
Superficial branch of the radial nerve injury: A case for conscious perioperative arterial cannulation
Authors: Hickman John , Chekairi Ahmed
Published: April 2018

We present a case of an injury to the superficial branch of the radial nerve following unconscious radial artery cannulation in a 57-year-old gentleman for revision of lumbar spinal fusion. Nerve damage is a rare complication of this commonly used technique; whilst usually self-limiting, it can lead to a significant under-reported burden of morbidity on our patients. We discuss current norms of practice, questioning the safety of unconscious arterial cannulation, and suggest that, where possible, it should be performed in the conscious patient to minimise the risk of this rare complication.
Lala Lajpat Rai’s Ideas on Caste: Conservative or Radical?
Authors: Bhargav Vanya
Published: April 2018

Descriptions of Lala Lajpat Rai as a Hindu nationalist or an Arya Samaji Hindu revivalist are unhelpful in evaluating whether he can be called conservative. Taking the desire to preserve the traditional hierarchical order as a defining feature of Indian conservatism, this article examines Lajpat Rai’s ideas on caste through this understudied category. Exploring the nuanced reasoning that undergirded his intellectual stances, it reveals that while at particular historical junctures, Lajpat Rai articulated ideas towards the caste hierarchy that can be described as radical, at other points he adopted conservative stances.
The State as Guardian of the Social Order: Conservatism in Indian Political Thought and Its Modern Manifestations
Authors: Chhibber Pradeep , Ostermann Susan L. , Verma Rahul
Published: April 2018

Conservative Indian political thought, in addition to being alive and well in contemporary discourse, has a long lineage. We explore the intellectual roots of this tradition by examining older and more contemporary writings ranging from the Manusmriti and the Ramayana to those of Gandhi and Maududi and place them in contrast to those of more liberal thinkers like Ambedkar and Nehru. We find that, in particular, the conservative idea of the ‘limited state’ has an extensive history embedded in sub-continental religions, religious practices and social norms. Central to the concept of the limited state is the belief that the state is subservient to society, the belief that dharma is ontological prior to the state, the belief that the king or leader must preserve the social order and the belief that individual reform is the primary source of social change. An understanding of this set of beliefs, and the idea of the limited state more generally, is important not only for understanding India’s past, but also for insight into contemporary politics. We demonstrate the continued vitality of these concepts through an examination of recent National Election Studies (NES) and World Values Survey (WVS) data.
Predictors of reliable symptom change: Secondary analysis of the Preschool Autism Communication Trial

Published: April 2018

Background and aims

Despite recent gains in the amount and quality of early autism intervention research, identifying what works for whom remains an ongoing challenge. Exploiting data from the Preschool Autism Communication Trial (PACT), we undertook secondary analysis to explore prognostic indicators and predictors of response to one year of PACT therapy versus treatment as usual within this large and rigorously characterised cohort recruited across three UK trial sites.

Methods

In this secondary analysis of variability in child gains on the primary trial outcome measure – social-communication symptom severity – we used a pragmatic and data-driven approach to identify a subgroup of children who showed reliable improvement and a subgroup showing clear lack thereof. We then tested which among several baseline child and family factors – including measures routinely collected in research trials and clinical practice – varied as a function of child outcome status and treatment group.

Results

Greater baseline child non-verbal ability was a significant prognostic indicator of symptom reduction over time (i.e. irrespective of treatment group). By contrast, parent synchrony presented as marginal predictor, and trial recruitment site as a significant predictor, of differential outcome by treatment group. Specifically, lower parent synchrony showed some association with poorer outcomes for children from families assigned to treatment as usual (but with no such effect for those assigned to PACT). Similarly, children at one recruitment site were more likely to have poorer outcomes if assigned to treatment as usual, compared to children at the same site assigned to PACT.

Conclusions

The current data contribute to an evidence base indicting that early non-verbal ability is a robust indicator of generally better prognosis for young children with autism. Lower parent synchrony and a broadly more deprived socio-geographical context may inform the appropriate targeting of PACT. That is, given that the former factors predicted poorer outcome in children from families assigned to treatment as usual, the receipt of a relatively low-dose, parent-mediated and communication-focused therapy might be developmentally protective for young children with autism. Nevertheless, results from this study also highlight the paucity of meaningful predictors of outcome among routine clinical characterisation measures such as those investigated here.

Implications

Understanding the factors associated with differential treatment outcomes is critical if we are to individualise treatment decisions for children with autism. Inherently tied to this objective is a need to delineate those factors which specifically predict positive response (or lack of response) to one or other treatment option, versus those that indicate generally better (or poorer) prognosis, irrespective of treatment.

Formação escritora dos professores que ensinam a escrever: entraves, motivações e construção de práticas de produção textual
Authors: Silva Erica Bastos da
Published: April 2018

Este trabalho pretende apresentar algumas discussões a respeito da formação escritora de professores que ensinam a escrever, considerando aqui os docentes dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental como primeiros responsáveis pelo processo de ensino da escrita. Para isso, foi realizado um diálogo com colegas professores e escritores sobre as motivações pessoais para a produção de textos. A partir disso, nasce uma discussão sobre o que pode inibir o exercício da escrita e também são elencados alguns pontos que podem motivar o professor a escrever. Decorrente dos diálogos e leituras realizados, percebeu-se que a consulta a dicionários, a revisão dos textos produzidos, a reescrita, a publicação das produções são práticas que precisam perpassar cada vez mais a formação de professores como escritores e mediadores do exercício de produção textual. O texto traz ainda algumas reflexões sobre a importância de o professor desenvolver em seu cotidiano práticas de escrita. Dessa forma, ressalta-se a relevância desse educador trabalhar cotidianamente com diversas situações que podem motivar a produção textual para que a escrita se torne atividade intrínseca ao cotidiano docente; não simplesmente a escrita burocrática e, por vezes, desprovida de sentidos, mas que se teçam produções que ressignifiquem constantemente a profissão docente, num exercício de desafios e também de encantos. Por fim, são apresentadas considerações gerais sobre a realização deste trabalho, bem como suas possíveis contribuições para a formação escritora de professores.

O que um conjunto de fotografias criadas por um menino de cinco anos pode informar sobre a cidade de São Paulo? Essa pergunta orienta a escrita desse artigo que tem como objetivo refletir sobre questões urbanas a partir de conversas e uma sequência fotográfica elaborada por Zé Carlos. Frequentador de uma Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil participou em 2014 de uma pesquisa em que buscávamos imagens de São Paulo segundo o ponto de vista de crianças a partir de escolas públicas de educação infantil, e com isso, conhecer a paulistana cidade em seus conflitos, diferenças e pulsações. Nesse artigo optou-se por um recorte delimitado: um conjunto de fotografias elaboradas por uma única criança num amplo universo de participantes e esse conjugado a falas proferidas junto à pesquisadora. Busca-se provocar debates sobre percepção e formulação do urbano pelas lentes de uma criança, o que pode nos servir para refletir sobre questões e percepções mais abrangentes sobre o viver e morar em São Paulo.
Quality of Service in Cognitive Radio Network: Issues and Challenges

Published: April 2018

Cognitive radio (CR) is a novel technology to resolve the issue of under-utilization of wireless spectrum. There exists number of challenges and issues in designing and implementation of the cognitive radio. Extending quality-of-service (QoS) enabled applications to CR network is even more difficult task due to non-availability of the dedicated allocation of idle spectrum. CR imposes peculiar and unique challenges to guarantee quality of service of diverse flows in contrast to other wireless networks. This paper identifies the issues and challenges of QoS provisioning in cognitive radio networks.
Landscape Factors Associated with Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) Treatments and Colony Structure in Residential Subdivisions
Authors: Botch Paul Steven , Houseman Richard M.
Published: March 2018

Subterranean termites (Isoptera: Reticulitermes) are common structural pests, but it is not well known how landscape factors are associated with urban colonization. This study examined patterns of subterranean termite colonization in 13 mid-Missouri residential subdivisions. Ten- and 20-year-old homes built on historically agricultural and forested landscapes were inspected for treatment by termiticide application or bait stations. Contemporary and historical aerial imagery were analyzed using GIS software, and patterns of colonization were compared among subdivisions. The genetic structure of termite colonies collected in undeveloped landscapes and residential subdivisions was compared using microsatellite DNA. Twenty-year-old subdivisions had significantly higher treatment proportions than 10-year-old subdivisions. At year 10, historically forested subdivisions had a higher treatment proportion than historically agricultural subdivisions. By year 20, there was no significant difference in treatment proportion between historical landscape types, indicating that subdivisions built on agricultural landscapes eventually catch up to subdivisions built on forest landscapes. Although there was not strong statistical support, treated homes in historically agricultural subdivisions tended to be close to forest patches, but there was less of an association in historically forested subdivisions. Colonies in undeveloped landscapes were more inbred compared to colonies in residential subdivisions, indicating that colonies sampled in subdivisions had fewer secondary reproductive and were potentially younger than those sampled in undeveloped landscapes. This study provides some correlative support for the role of dispersing alates as urban colonizers, because treatments were often located at relatively long distances from undisturbed forest patches in historically agricultural subdivisions.

Published: April 2018

Introdução: Os linfomas de células B acometem cerca de 90% de todos os casos de linfoma. O linfoma difuso de grandes células B é a forma mais comum dos linfomas não Hodgkin e acomete principalmente adultos, mas também se manifestam em crianças, com apenas 2% localizados na cavidade oral. Objetivos: Relatar o diagnóstico e tratamento de um linfoma não Hodgkin localizado em cavidade oral de paciente pediátrico. Relato de Caso: Paciente do gênero masculino, 07 anos, apresentando aumento de volume em região de maxila posterior direita, com 05 meses de evolução e exame tomográfico evidenciando áreas de reabsorção óssea com acometimento do seio maxilar direito. Para realização do diagnóstico o paciente inicialmente foi submetido a biópsia incisional com remoção dos elementos dentários associados à lesão e resultado histopatológico de lesão linfoproliferativa, confirmando o diagnóstico de Linfoma não-Hodgkin difuso de grandes células B após imuno-histoquímica. Em seguida o paciente foi encaminhado para tratamento quimioterápico e após 01 ano de quimioterapia não apresentava lesões linfoproliferativas. Conclusão: O diagnóstico dos linfomas orais pode ser complicado pelo baixo índice de suspeita clínica. Diante desta condição, é indicada a realização de biópsia incisional, sendo a área de escolha criteriosa para que não ocorram erros diagnósticos. Atualmente, a melhor opção de análise diagnóstica é o exame imuno-histoquímico da lesão, que distingue as condições benignas das malignas, oferecendo uma rigorosa subclassificação dos tipos de linfoma.

Introdução: As projeções que relacionam a obesidade com o risco de câncer são péssimas: para o ano de 2030, por exemplo, são estimados aproximadamente 500 mil novos casos de neoplasia em razão do excesso de peso da população nos Estados Unidos. Nesse cenário, tem-se observado a ligação entre a obesidade e o prognóstico de pacientes com câncer, incluindo a redução do tempo de sobrevida global e livre de doença. Isso nos levou a realizar o seguinte questionamento: pacientes obesos apresentam pior prognóstico quando acometidos por neoplasia do pâncreas? Objetivo: Avaliar o papel da obesidade na neoplasia pancreática como marcador de pior prognóstico. Metodologia: Revisão sistemática da literatura norteada pelo protocolo PRISMA, abordando estudos primários publicados na base de dados PubMed entre 05/02/2013 e 03/02/2018. Os descritores utilizados foram: “Pancreatic Neoplasms” [Mesh], “Prognosis” [Mesh] e “Obesity” [Mesh] combinados pelo operador booleano AND obedecendo a seguinte equação de busca 1 AND 2 AND 3. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos, em língua inglesa e que demostrasse associação entre obesidade e mal prognóstico em pacientes com tumores do pâncreas. Foram excluídas revisões, comentários, editoriais e cartas ao editor. Resultados: 44 estudos foram rastreados. Após leitura dos títulos e resumos e, posterior, aplicação dos critérios de inclusão/exclusão obtivemos uma amostra de 7 artigos. Os estudos pontuam que pacientes obesos apresentam mais metástases de linfonodos e menor sobrevida global e sobrevida livre de progressão. Ademais, uma redução maior que um no IMC durante a quimioterapia e no diagnóstico afetam negativamente a sobrevida. Outro ponto relevante é que IMC pré-câncer, IMC no diagnóstico e sarcopenia isolada não tem influência significativa na sobrevida de pacientes com adenocarcinoma pancreático. Contudo, a diminuição ou aumento superior a uma unidade no IMC foram correlacionado com pior prognóstico de sobrevivência, assim como a associação sarcopenia-sobrepeso/obesidade. Conclusão: Valores absolutos de IMC ao diagnóstico não tem influência na Sobrevida livre de doença e sobrevida global, contudo altos índices de obesidade visceral e variações maiores que uma unidade na redução do IMC apresenta pior prognóstico, principalmente quando associados ao tratamento quimioterápico.

Introdução: Os sarcomas sinoviais representam neoplasias malignas incomuns, de crescimento lento, com relação estreita com tendões e articulações. Compreendem de 5% a 10% dos sarcomas de tecidos moles. Esses tumores têm origem de células multipotenciais mesenquimais, com maior incidência em jovens, com idade média variando de 15 a 35 anos, observando-se ligeiro predomínio no sexo masculino. Os sarcomas sinoviais são geralmente de tamanho significativo ao diagnóstico, com propensão a metastatizar para linfonodos e pulmões. Objetivo: Descrever um caso de uma paciente jovem diagnosticada em fase avançada de sarcoma sinovial bifásico; Relatar as complicações do sarcoma sinovial bifásico. Descrição do caso: Paciente, LMN, 18 anos, solteira, estudante foi diagnosticada em 27/07/17 com sarcoma sinovial bifásico. O quadro clínico iniciou com o aparecimento de uma lesão tumoral extensa, de rápido crescimento em membro, bastante dolorosa em membro inferior esquerdo. Após a confirmação do diagnóstico por biópsia, foi encaminhada a serviço especializado em Fortaleza. Chegou a realizar 05 sessões de quimioterapia, porém o tratamento foi interrompido, devido à falta de custeio com transporte para se deslocar à capital do estado. Durante os quatro meses sem as sessões de quimioterapia, houve progressão da lesão tumoral e do quadro de anemia, com deterioração do estado geral. Em virtude do agravamento, foi hospitalizada. Depois de 05 dias, retomou as sessões de quimioterapia. Apresentou sangramento volumoso pelo sarcoma, sendo necessárias transfusões de sangue. Devido ao choque hipovolêmico e anemia severa, necessitou de cuidados intensivos. Após solicitação de parecer de cirurgião oncológico, foi realizada a cirurgia de desarticulação coxo-femoral esquerda com rotação de retalho miocutâneo de glúteo maior por sarcoma. No pós-operatório evoluiu com pneumonia nosocomial e insuficiência respiratória e que foram revertidos com o tratamento específico. Após duas semanas, necessitou realizar uma transfusão sanguínea devido ao surgimento de melena. A endoscopia digestiva alta não revelou anormalidades. A colonoscopia evidenciou lesões ulcerosas não específicas. O quadro de melena foi superado. Com a melhora do quadro, recebeu alta da UTI para enfermaria, com continuidade ao tratamento. Conclusão: Desse modo, foi descrito um caso de sarcoma sinovial bifásico, em jovem, diagnosticada tardiamente, com interrupção do tratamento e comprometimento do prognóstico.
#PrimaveraDasMulheres – O florescer do feminismo nas redes sociais
Authors: Do Carmo Quesia Silva , Couto Edvaldo Souza
Published: April 2018

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar como as narrativas do eu vêm sendo utilizadas nas redes sociais de internet para promover o feminismo, tendo como objeto empírico de análise a campanha Who Needs Feminism, que se tornou viral em 2012. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, de cunho descritivo e analítico, que primeiro apresenta um quadro teórico sobre o tema e depois parte para a descrição da campanha e análise de como as narrativas do eu foram utilizadas. O estudo conclui que, no caso dessa campanha estudada, as narrativas do eu, muito mais que uma expressão do ego, são também utilizadas para dar visibilidade a uma causa, geram novas pedagogias e promovem diferentes modos de ser, festejando subjetividades.
O ANTI-AVERROÍSMO DE DUNS SCOTUS NO PRÓLOGO DA ORDINATIO: O SEGUNDO ARGUMENTO
Authors: Pich Roberto Hofmeister
Published: April 2018

Neste estudo, oferece-se uma interpretação da Primeira Parte do Prólogo de Duns Scotus à Ordinatio, segundo a qual ela pode ser entendida como um complexo tratado “anti-averroísta”. Para tanto, toma-se como caso de análise o segundo argumento dos “filósofos” contra a necessidade do conhecimento de verdades reveladas sobrenaturalmente. A análise desse argumento parece poder ilustrar uma forma específica de “averroísmo” e a atitude de Scotus sobre a mesma, mostrando também, em geral, convicções scotistas acerca da relação entre teologia e filosofia.

Trabalho e Meio Ambiente
Authors: Michelon Francisca Ferreira
Published: April 2018

Este número da Expressa Extensão dedicou-se a refletir sobre as muitas relações que se pode estabelecer entre o trabalho e o meio ambiente. Ambos podem ser definidores das culturas, de suas particularidades e de suas proximidades com outras. Ambos podem espelhar o resultado sombrio da exploração gananciosa e desmedida. Ambos podem expressar-se como o motivo condutor de políticas públicas, de discursos de valorização da vida (da humana ou de qualquer forma de vida), de revoluções sociais e de muitas circunstâncias que marcaram momentos históricos decisivos na trajetória dos grupos.
