Information culture of the personality in the context of traditions and innovations of the modern society
Authors:   Volga State University of Technology, Badanova Nadezhda Mikhaylovna
Published: August 2018

The paper presents a social and philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of the personality’s information culture in the context of traditions and innovations of the modern society. Being a part of the general culture, information culture develops along with the numerous social processes in terms of global informatization. It is an important part of the mechanism that helps the personality adapt to the information society and contributes to the development of constructive dialogue both at the interpersonal level and within the relationship between the personality and society. These functions can be implemented due to the combination of technical and humanitarian components in the information culture. The author focuses on this factor. The study emphasizes the role of traditions and innovations in the information society. The researcher relies on the works of such scientists as F. Webster, I. Alekseeva, K. Kolin, A. Ursul.
City government as a leading factor in the civil society development in the Urals in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries
Authors:   Perm State Medical University, Nevostruev Nikolay Alekseevich , Lyadova Valentina Vyacheslavovna ,   Perm State Medical University
Published: August 2018

The research analyzes the aspects of the Russian cities development that have led to the delay of the genesis of civil society in comparison with Western Europe where it has been mainly created by the end of the 18th century. The diversified development of the Ural cities is associated with the creation of large mining and metallurgical centers having the entire urban infrastructure but lacking the city status. The reforms in the 1860s–1870s had a great impact on all aspects of life, including the establishment of the main elements of civil society, where the new system of city government along with local government (zemstvo) made a significant contribution to this process. Despite the limitations of the electoral law resulted in the predominance of commercial and industrial figures in government representative bodies, a favorable environment was forged to improve the quality of urban life in respect of civilian capacity development. For instance, the government focused on medicine and education which were the quantitative indicator of the civil status of society. In this period, the Russian education system was founded, i.e. public schools, city primary schools, diocesan and religious schools, male and female gymnasiums, non-classical secondary schools, seminaries were established. The changed urban infrastructure (in the major centers of the province) reflected the new trends in urban life: paved roads and sidewalks, sewer and water pipes, electric and gas street lighting, modern shops were installed. Based on the materials presented, the authors concluded that the urban development played an important role in the establishment of the civil society in the post-reform Russia.

Published: August 2018

The paper discusses the background to the establishment of public school inspectorate in Yakutsk region. Based on the archival documents, the research reveals the activities of public school inspectors and defines their role in the dissemination and development of enlightenment and education in the region. The inspectors dealt with the following major issues: the construction and opening of new schools, the repair of buildings, the delivery of courses for teachers, library support. The emphasis was placed on the activities of S.O. Ogorodnikov, the first public school inspector in Yakutsk region, who opened 26 primary schools. Besides, he developed and applied a curriculum for foreign primary schools contributing to a better study of the Russian language. The author concludes that the establishment of the post of public school inspector has made it possible to manage the public education affairs more effectively despite many challenges, including the remoteness of the region and severe weather conditions.
The Soviet social policy in the post-war period (1945–1953)
Authors:   Ulyanovsk State University, Nikolaev Evgeny Evgenyevich
Published: August 2018

The study described the achievements and difficulties, the remaining challenges of the social policy in the post-war Soviet state. The abolition of the ration card system led to the social effects. Derationing had not been properly implemented. Commodity reserves were available only in Moscow and Leningrad while other areas suffered from the lack of consumer goods. The research analyzed wage rates, housing conditions of the vast majority of people in Russia, the modalities and results for the 1947 monetary reform and its social and economic impacts. The author revealed the challenges met by personnel departments, including the decreased number of national economy workers and employees, the deteriorating composition of employment. To address the above-mentioned issues, the Ministry of Labor Pool was established to attract and train different employees (mainly rural youth). The research discussed the achievements of the Soviet power (free medical care, education, pensions) that, however, had no significant impact on the lives of most citizens.
Metaphoric diagrams and visual representation of social and philosophical cognition: model, metaphor and reference
Authors:   Northern State Medical University, Makulin Artem Vladimirovich
Published: August 2018

The researchers’ shift from the linguistic approach to the visual one is a specific feature of modern philosophy. In the author’s opinion, visual argumentation and the logical and conceptual argumentation within the philosophical research are equally important; graphic visualization represented by metaphoric diagrams is an alternative form of analysis, interpretation and modeling of social and philosophical problems. The classification of metaphoric diagrams is considered, their examples are given, their cognitive value is demonstrated in the context of social and philosophical cognition. The research analyzes the referential correlation between the metaphor and its expressive model, the interaction of the metaphoric expression with the subject of its reference. The paper presents the case studies for visual metaphoric structures, processes, subjects that determine various vectors of visual modeling of philosophical, social and philosophical thought. The author reveals the key visual methodological structures defining a set of visual analysis techniques.

Authors: Salinas Ulloa Viviana
Published: August 2018

Esta investigación utiliza datos longitudinales chilenos para construir un indicador del riesgo de disolución matrimonial y relacionar esa medida con predictores del divorcio. Usando una encuesta retrospectiva de 2015 (Familia como Recurso de la Sociedad, n=1 765) y aplicando técnicas de análisis de sobrevivencia, se estima un riesgo de disolución de 20% después de 20 años de matrimonio. El riesgo de disolución matrimonial se asocia de la manera esperada al nacimiento de hijos en común al matrimonio, la existencia de hijos de una unión previa de la pareja, la cohorte de nacimiento y el nivel socioeconómico de origen.
Evaluación de los costos económicos totales de los desastres naturales: inundación en la ciudad de Sheffield, 2007
Authors: Mendoza Tinoco David , Méndez Delgado Alba Verónica
Published: August 2018

Los desastres naturales representan altos costos que conllevan desequilibrios económicos. Las pérdidas físicas iniciales generan costos indirectos que amplifican el daño total. Este artículo presenta una metodología basada en el modelo de insumo-producto para evaluar los costos económicos totales de los desastres, y se aplica al caso de las inundaciones de 2007 en Sheffield, Reino Unido. Los resultados sugieren que cada unidad de costo por daños directos, derivados de la destrucción física por la inundación, genera un costo adicional por 0.75 unidades en costos indirectos, contabilizado como la pérdida de producción ocasionada por las perturbaciones a lo largo de las cadenas productivas. El análisis brinda información más comprehensiva sobre los efectos de los desastres naturales en la economía, así como sobre los sectores productivos más afectados. Esto podría coadyuvar en una mejor asignación de recursos para la gestión de los riesgos por desastres naturales.

Synostosis of the first and second ribs in six horses
Authors: Rovel Tibor , Coudry Virginie , Denoix Jean-Marie , Audigie Fabrice
Published: August 2018

CASE DESCRIPTION Over a 2-year period, 6 horses (4 Selle Français, 1 Hanoverian, and 1 Thoroughbred) were referred for evaluation of forelimb lameness. All horses had radiographic evidence of synostosis of the first and second ribs (SFSR).

CLINICAL FINDINGS For 1 horse, the SFSR was considered the probable cause of the lameness (grade 3/5), with a shortening of the cranial phase of the stride in the affected limb. For 3 horses, it was considered a possible cause of the lameness (grade 1/5) for the same reason. For 2 horses, SFSR was considered an incidental finding unassociated with any clinical signs. The 4 horses with lameness suspected as attributable to SFSR had a moderate to severe amount of irregularly marginated new bone formation at the site of the SFSR, with a cranial displacement of the first rib, compared with findings for the 2 horses in which the SFSR was considered incidental. A likely congenital abnormality of the first rib was first suspected on nuclear scintigraphy in the 1 horse for which it was performed or on radiography of the caudal cervical portion of the vertebral column (3 horses) or shoulder joint (2 horses).

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME The horse in which SFSR was considered the probable cause of the lameness was retired to the field and remained chronically lame. Two of the 3 horses in which SFSR was considered a possible cause of lameness received an IV infusion of tiludronate disodium and mesotherapy over the caudal cervical and cranial thoracic regions; both returned to competition but with poor results. One of the 2 horses with subclinical SFSR never developed lameness on the affected side. No follow-up information was available for the other 2 horses.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE SFSR can be an incidental finding in horses, with or without clinical manifestations. This abnormality should be considered as a differential diagnosis for horses with forelimb lameness and associated shortening of the cranial phase of the stride that fails to improve with diagnostic analgesic techniques.

Authors: Guan Feng-Guang , Wang Mei , Lian Xiao-Qin
Published: August 2018

Objective

The aims of this study were to investigate the status quo of self-management behaviors in stroke patients at the recovery stage and to explore its influencing factors.

Methods

A total of 440 hospitalized convalescent stroke patients were recruited and investigated using the Basic Situation Questionnaire, Self-management Behavior Scale of Stroke, Stroke Prevention Knowledge Questionnaire and Social Support Rating Scale.

Results

The mean self-management behavior score was (151.95±23.58), and dimensions in descending order were as follows: dietary management, drug safety management, social function and interpersonal relationships, life management, emotion management, rehabilitation exercise management and disease management. Five regional self-management behavior scores were statistically significant, and the scores from Minnan and Minzhong of the Fujian province, China, were higher than the others. Gender, age, family income and self-management behavior were significantly correlated (P<0.05); educational level, stroke knowledge level, social support level and self-management behavior were positively correlated, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).

Conclusions

The overall self-management level of convalescent stroke patients should be improved to strengthen health education; focus on the educational level, which is relatively low; strengthen the social support system of patients; stimulate the enthusiasm and initiative of self-management disease patients to promote disease rehabilitation and improve the quality of life.
A systematic review of the effectiveness of clinical nurse specialist interventions in
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Authors: Yin Hua , Yang Ling , Ye Qiao
Published: August 2018

Objective

This review aimed to examine the effectiveness of clinical nurse specialist (CNS) interventions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD significantly affects people’s health worldwide. With the development in nursing, CNSs are playing increasingly important roles in different departments. However, the studies on the effectiveness of CNSs in COPD are not as well organized as the studies on the effectiveness of CNSs in bronchiectasis and asthma. Therefore, this review aims to find some updated evidence on the CNS interventions for patients with COPD and on whether these interventions are effective.

Methods

A narrative analysis of the data was performed for the eligible studies. Four databases were chosen: CINAHL, MEDLINE, British Nursing Index, and Cochrane Library. Other websites such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, National Health Service Evidence, Association of Respiratory Nurse Specialists, and National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialist were searched as well. Two reviewers performed study identification independently, and all the retrieved articles were stored using the EndNote X7 software. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias tool.

Results

A total of nine studies were included in this review. There were five current interventions by CNSs for patients with COPD. These interventions were home nursing support, CNS’s supported discharge, multidisciplinary cooperation programs, nurse-led care programs, and self-care management education. The effectiveness of these five interventions was evaluated individually. There is low- to moderate-quality evidence indicating that home nursing support interventions may have a positive effect on mortality and quality of life. No significant difference in quality of life has been found between the CNS-supported discharge intervention and the usual service. The multidisciplinary cooperation program probably had a positive effect on quality of life in patients with COPD. Both nurse-led care and self-care management education intervention had a positive effect on mortality of patients with COPD.

Conclusions

The findings of this review provide updated evidence on the effectiveness of CNS interventions for patients with COPD. Although nine trials were included and five types of interventions were identified, there is still lack of high-quality evidence.

Comparative analysis of a characterization of the built-up area and settlement network on Polish topographic maps from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries
Authors: Ostrowski Wiesław , Karsznia Izabela , Panecki Tomasz
Published: August 2018

Built-up area is a particularly important element of the content of topographic maps. Its presentation changes significantly when map scales are reduced, due to both conceptual and graphic generalization. What is more, historically, changes in the depiction of built-up area were consequences of changes in the intended use of topographic maps, development of technology and changes in the cultural landscape, of which the built-up area is an important component.1

The authors describe the method of presentation of built-up areas on six Polish topographic maps or series of maps. The above-mentioned maps include the following:

– Topograficzna Karta Królestwa Polskiego (Topographic Map of the Polish Kingdom) at the scale of 1:126,000 developed in 1822–1843;

– topographic maps of the Polish Military Geographical Institute (MGI) at the scales of 1:25,000 and 1:100,000, published in 1930s;

– a series of military maps (or military-civilian maps) at the scales of 1:10,000, 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:100,000, developed in 1956–1989, in accordance with the instruction for developing Soviet maps;

– a series of civilian maps at the scales of 1:10,000, 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 developed after 1995.

The basis for a quantitative comparison of the content of the maps was the number of categories of objects (identifications) which constitute part of built-up area and are presented on individual maps as symbols, as well as the number of characteristics represented by these symbols. These characteristics are divided into two basic types: functional characteristics and physiognomic characteristics.

The analysis shows that military maps issued after the Second World War differ from the civilian maps, as they contain a much larger share of physiognomic characteristics, which is caused mainly from the fact that the vast majority of military maps distinguish between wooden and brick buildings. This difference was to large extent already noticeable among the oldest of the analysed maps – the Quartermaster’s Map and nineteenth-century Russian maps, which were partly modelled on the Quartermaster’s Map, and later also Soviet maps. Due to political reasons, the model of these Soviet maps was later adopted for the development of post-war Polish military maps. Out of all maps drawn up by military services, the inter-war MGI map serves special attention, as it was modelled on German maps. The main difference between military and civilian maps is foremost the fact that civilian maps include more functional characteristics of buildings and take into consideration new physiognomic characteristics related to residential development (compact, dense, multifamily dwellings, single family dwellings).

The analysed maps include not only the characteristics of buildings and built-up area, but also information on the features of the town – population size, number of village houses and the administrative function.
The intellectual-theological leadership of John Amos Comenius
Authors: Glenn Justin L.
Published: August 2018

John Amos Comenius was a revolutionary leader in both the church and the academy in 17th century Europe. Born and raised in Moravia and firmly grounded in the doctrine of the United Church of the Brethren, Comenius rose from obscurity in what is now the Czech Republic to become recognized around Europe and beyond as an innovative and transformational leader. He contributed to efforts such as advocating for universal education, authoring classroom textbooks (most notably in Latin education), shepherding local churches and his entire denomination, and working for unity and peace among Christians across Europe. Though for many decades after his death he seemed to be lost to time, there has been a resurgence of scholarly interest in the ideas and methods of Comenius. His life and work can serve as a source of encouragement and inspiration to church and educational leaders today.
Humor as interactional affordances: an ecological perspective on humor in social interaction
Authors: Jensen Thomas Wiben
Published: August 2018

In adopting new theoretical advancements within linguistics and ecological psychology, this paper investigates humor from an ecological perspective in naturally occurring social interaction. In doing so, it is claimed that the notions of language as coordination and values-realizing can provide a new understanding of humor as it appears in human interaction. This argument will be unfolded as a rethinking of Wallace Chafe’s notion of nonseriousness (Chafe, 2007) that re-conceptualizes Chafe’s idea of a ‘mental state’ of nonseriousness in terms of interactional affordances and values realizing. This perspective is laid out in in-depth analyses of video recordings of two real-life examples from different settings: two siblings playing and a sequence from a couple-therapy session. It is claimed that both examples of interactional humor can be explained by re-conceptualizing humor as a distinct way of being together. Thus, the emergence of humor is enabled by a shift in the coordinative dynamics rather than by a transfer of semantic ‘content’ from a speaker to a hearer. Finally, humor is investigated as a temporal phenomenon integrating immediate ’here-and-now’ environmental features with socio-cultural expectations on a longer time-scale. In this way humor is viewed as a particular type of values-realizing activity that constrains our actions, re-directs our attention, and thereby enables us to act in a more playful and joyous manner.
Bicameralism in Belgium: the dismantlement of the Senate for the sake of multinational confederalism
Authors: Popelier Patricia
Published: August 2018

Belgium was established in 1830 as a unitary state with a bicameral parliament, with symmetrical powers for the upper and the lower house. While federalism and bicameralism are often considered a pair, the Belgian system shows an inverse relationship. The Senate gradually turned into a house representative of the sub-states, but its powers declined inversely proportional to the level of decentralisation of the Belgian state. This paper inquires how the dismantling of the Belgian Senate fits in the increasingly devolutionary nature of the Belgian state structure. First, it nuances the link between bicameralism and federalism: bicameralism is an institutional device for federalism, but not by necessity, and only under specific conditions. The official narrative is that the Belgian Senate was reformed to turn it into a house of the sub-states in line as a federal principle, but in reality the conditions to fulfil this task are not fulfilled. Instead, the paper holds that bicameralism in Belgium is subordinate to the needs of multinational conflict management, and that complying with the federative ideal of an upper house giving voice to the collective needs of the sub-states would stand in the way of the evolution of the Belgian system towards confederalism based on two major linguistic groups.
The Secession Issue and Territorial Autonomy in Spain: Bicameralism Revisited
Authors: López-Basaguren Alberto
Published: August 2018

The Spanish Constitution defines the Senate as 'Chamber of territorial representation'. But in the Senate the provinces are represented, not the Autonomous Communities. The Senate is a Chamber of ‘sober second thought’, subordinated to the lower House, whose will prevails in the event of discrepancy. It lacks specific powers with regard to territorial autonomy; in spite of this, there has been an attempt to assign it relevance in this sphere by creating a General Committee on Autonomous Communities. By way of exception the Senate is exclusively responsible for the decision to authorize the Government to apply measures of ’federal coercion'. This constitutional provision was first activated in October 2017, in the context of the secessionist process in Catalonia, as a result of the repeated noncompliance by the authorities of the resolutions of the Constitutional Court (CC), which concluded with the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) by Parliament at the same time as the adoption of the measures of federal coercion. The Senate demonstrated that even in a case in which it has the reserved competence, as in the authorization of the adoption of measures of federal coercion, it lacks the capacity to be a federal Chamber.
Strategies to Enhance the Intravenous Treatment Satisfaction and Drug Safety Awareness Among Patients with Multiple Sclerosis in Macedonia
Authors: Barbov Ivan , Korunoska Jasmina , Bonevska Valentina , Smokovski Aleksandar
Published: August 2018

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment aims not only to prevent the rate of relapse, but also to slow down patient’s disability progression. Monoclonal antibodies constitute a new class of therapeutic agents and are administered by intravenous (IV) infusion. Treatment satisfaction and incidence of adverse drug events influence the patient’s treatment adherence which is essential to ensure patients obtain the best treatment outcomes and also to make that treatment cost-effective. Our primary objective was to assess the current IV treatment satisfaction among MS patients.

Methods: A standard questionnaire was developed which contained 20 questions about patient’s disease, IV treatment satisfaction and drug safety awareness. Analyzed data was presented as a percent of the respondents.

Results: The cross-sectional study included 13 MS patients on IV treatment, with mean age of 35 years. 54% of them had relapse-remitting MS, while 46% had secondary progressive MS. The most common onset symptoms were tingling reported in 46% and numbness in 31% patients. 70% of patients were satisfied, while 23% were not satisfied with the conditions under which they were receiving their IV treatment that lasts in average 2 hours. Well-established pharmacovigilance practice enhanced the patient’s knowledge that was reflected through 100% reporting of adverse drug reactions in the past.

Conclusion: High level of satisfaction from the current IV treatment conditions and high drug safety awareness among MS patients was shown. Establishment of infusion centre as a proposed strategy by MS patients would substantially increase their IV treatment satisfaction and adherence.

Authors: Donev Doncho , Polenakovic Momir , Pop-Jordanova Nada
Published: August 2018

Aim: To present a group of young doctors from R. Macedonia who were elected as lecturers at the Faculty of Medicine (FM) in Skopje, R. Macedonia, in the period 1961-63.

Method: A retrospective study based on archive materials, encyclopaedias and jubilee publications of the FM and Faculty of Dentistry in Skopje, other relevant sources of information, and a review of the relevant literature.

Results: The Skopje FM was founded in 1947 and the first meeting of the Teachers’ Council of the Faculty was held on March 17, 1947. The first generation of 153 students was enrolled in the autumn of 1947 and the first lecture was delivered on November 3, 1947.

Besides 15 doctors from R. Macedonia - faculty staff, who had been appointed in the period from 1947-54, and a group of 24 lecturers from R. Macedonia who had been elected assistant professors in the period from 1955-60, an additional group of 17 Macedonian lecturers had been elected for the first time in the period from 1961-63. Those 56 pioneers and coryphaei of medicine in R. Macedonia played important roles in the establishing and/or initial and further development of a number of the faculty departments/chairs, institutes and clinics within the newly established FM in Skopje in 1947 and in the first 15-20 years of its initial development, until 1960s and later.

Conclusion: The Skopje FM, founded in 1947, played a crucial role in the education of medical professionals, in improving the poor health status of the population and the overall further development of the health system and provision of health care to the population of R. Macedonia. The contribution of the third group of 17 lecturers from R. Macedonia in furthering the development of the Skopje FM, during the 1960s and later, was very important.
Controversies of the Mai 68 Opera in Philosophical Contexts of Actual Opera Production
Authors: Cseres Jozef
Published: August 2018

In his paper, the author reveals the poetical controversies of the Mai 68 opera (2008) by Petr Kofroň, Zdenek Plachý and Jiří Šimáček as well as its controversial reception by Czech opera critics. Comparing the poetical principles of the mentioned authors with those applied in stage works by Morton Feldman, Martin Burlas and John Zorn, and arguing with the philosophical concepts of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and actual concepts of postmodern aesthetics, he outlines the poetical features of current opera production in the context of actual philosophical thought and intermedia aesthetics. In this broader framework, in spite of some defects in staging, he considers Mai 68 a very real and influential contribution to the opera world in Czech Republic and Slovakia, comparable with the contemporary opera works worldwide.

Published: August 2018

Os elásticos representam uma ferramenta importante nos tratamentos ortodônticos e ortopédicos e tem como principal característica a versatilidade em sua aplicação. Para ser eficiente, requer que o profissional realize um adequado planejamento, conhecendo seus efeitos e indicações precisas. Desta forma, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma revisão sobre os tipos e as propriedades dos elásticos usados em Ortodontia, abordando suas vantagens, desvantagens, indicações e limitações quanto ao seu uso. Para a obtenção dos artigos científicos, foram utilizadas Oas bases de dados PubMed, MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACs e Google Acadêmico, além de livros de Ortodontia que abordassem o tema. Foram empregadas as palavras-chaves consultadas nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DECS): Elastômeros, Terapêutica, Ortodontia e os termos equivalentes em inglês, Elastomers, Therapeutics, Orthodontics sendo selecionados artigos, dissertações e teses publicados nos últimos 15 anos (2002-2017), além de artigos clássicos da literatura. Não foram incluídos artigos de relatos de casos clínicos. Os artigos revisados mostraram que os elásticos são capazes de gerar forças leves e contínuas sendo uma ferramenta útil para fechamento de espaços, retração de caninos, correção de más oclusões de Classe II e Classe III, bem como na intercuspidação oclusal na fase de finalização. Existem vários fatores, inerentes ao material, que influenciam as propriedades mecânicas dos elásticos, como a perda de elasticidade, quantidade de força dissipada, composição e qualidade do material. Alguns fatores locais também são capazes de influencias sua ação, entre eles: composição da saliva, variações do pH, pigmentos, dieta alimentar, além de efeitos dos movimentos mandibulares. Com base na revisão da literatura, concluiu-se  que, com o avanço tecnológico e desenvolvimento dos materiais dentários, os elásticos utilizados em Ortodontia tiveram suas propriedades avaliadas e melhoradas, de forma a aumentar sua aplicabilidade como auxiliares durante os tratamentos ortodônticos e ortopédicos. Entretanto, o ortodontista deve compreender as propriedades dos elásticos de borracha e sintéticos, bem como suas limitações e riscos, para alcançar resultados clínicos mais satisfatórios.

Authors: Futenma de Lima Mariana , Gorni Guilherme Rossi , Ribeiro Maria Lúcia
Published: August 2018

Devido às ações antrópicas o nível de poluição vem se tornando cada vez mais preocupante; por esse motivo estudos vêm sendo realizados a fim de amenizar os impactos causados ao meio ambiente nos seus três compartimentos: água, ar e solo. Dentre os fatores que agravam a poluição do solo, os fungicidas são citados como um dos produtos químicos mais utilizados na agricultura convencional. Este trabalho toma como base conceitos da ecotoxicologia, visando avaliar a toxicidade aguda do fungicida Pirimetanil (PIR), por meio de bioensaios, utilizando organismos terrestres da espécie Eisenia fetida (SAVIGNY, 1826). Esse organismo foi escolhido por apresentar grande importância ecológica ao ambiente, sensibilidade a substâncias químicas e facilidade de ser mantido em laboratório. O primeiro resultado observado foi o comportamento de ‘evitação’ dos organismos, descrito em testes denominados ‘Avoidance’. Resultados referentes à toxicidade aguda demonstraram uma taxa de mortalidade, após 72h de exposição, de 100, 80, 60, 60 e 4 % respectivamente para as concentrações de 1,0; 0,7; 0,5; 0,3; 0,1 mg L-1. O controle experimental apresentou 0% de mortalidade. Os resultados apontam que o fungicida PIR promove ação deletéria aos organismos da espécie E. fetida, contribuindo para o avanço dos estudos sobre esse tema e abre caminhos para novas pesquisas, com o intuito de apontar soluções para amenizar o impacto dessa substância ao meio ambiente e aos os organismos ali presentes.

Probable Cause for the Superconductor‐like Properties of Alkane-wetted Graphite and Single-layer Graphene Above Room Temperature Under Ambient Pressure
Authors: whangbo mike
Published: August 2018

Recently Kawashima has reported that, when wetted with alkanes, several forms of graphite and single‐layer graphene exhibit superconductor‐like properties above room temperature under ambient pressure [AIP Adv. 2013, 3, 052132; arXiv:1612.05294; arXiv:1801.09376]. Under the assumption that these seemingly unlikely properties arise from the presence of paired electrons brought about by thealkane‐wetting, we explored their implications to arrive at a probable mechanism for strong electronpairingdriven by Fermi surface nesting and acoustic phonon. This mechanism explains why alkane‐wetting is essential for the graphene systems to become “superconductor‐like” above room temperature and why the “Tc” of alkane‐wetted pitch‐based graphite fibers increases almost linearly from ~363 to ~504 K with increasing the molecular weight of alkane from heptane to hexadecane. It also provides a number ofexperimentally‐verifiable predictions, the confirmation of which will provide a strong support for the superconductivity driven by Fermi surface nesting and acoustic phonon.

A menudo en la enseñanza del Dibujo Técnico y/o Geométrico se introduce a los alumnos en el manejo de instrumentos, en donde las escuadras de 45°-90° y 30°-60° grados juegan un papel fundamental en la construcción y comprensión de conceptos geométricos bidimensionales, sobre todo cuando se aborda el tema de la representación isométrica de sólidos, cuyos ejes principales de altura, profundidad y longitud son equiangulares conservando una distancia angular de 120°, número múltiplo de 30° y 60° grados, así como de 45º y 90º. Combinando estos ángulos se pueden establecer otros de 15º y 75º grados, los cuales fundan las diferentes axonometrías y la ortogonalidad de la descriptiva. A continuación veremos cómo se llega, después de apasionantes búsquedas, consultas y comparaciones sobre el tema a un producto didáctico, como son las “Escuadras” y Plantillas de simetría de quinto orden, que realmente no serían escuadras pues en ninguna esquina poseen 90° grados, pero las cuales habría que designarlas con un nombre como “Pentaedras” o “Quintuadras”, términos nada populares, memorizables o comerciales. Al fi nal expongo la importancia que podría tener el conocimiento y la práctica de estas simetrías para el Diseño en general.

A study on carcass and organ characteristics of broiler chicken fed boiled mango kernel composite meal (BMKCM) was carried out using complete randomized design (CRD). One hundred and eighty (180) broiler chickens were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments comprising of 0% (control), 10%, 15% and 20% inclusion levels of boiled mango kernel composite meal for T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Each treatment was replicated thrice with fifteen (15) birds per replicate. The results of this study showed that there were no significant differences (P< 0.05) across treatments with respect to meat yield and meat distributions among carcass cut-off parts. In terms of organ weights, significant differences (P< 0.05) were observed in the heart, liver, kidney, spleen and gizzard weights, however, the result did not follow a regular pattern implying that, treatment would not have accounted for these differences. It is therefore concluded that, boiled mango kernel composite meal could be used up to 20% in the diets of broiler chickens without compromising the carcass and organ weights.

Published: August 2018

Há algum tempo se faz necessária à mudança nos currículos de odontologia do Brasil, com um modelo de ensino voltado ao mercado de trabalho na qual o estudante tenha a excelência técnica associada a um pensamento crítico. Em 2005 ocorreu a mudança do currículo tradicional para o transdisciplinar na Universidade Estadual de Londrina, orientados pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais de 2002 o qual almeja que o estudante consiga articular conceitos e necessidades específicas de cada caso. Com o objetivo de avaliar qual a percepção discente da mudança curricular ocorrida foi aplicado um questionário com questões extraídas do Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes - ENADE aos estudantes do quinto ano do Curso de Odontologia da primeira e segunda turma do currículo transdisciplinar e a última turma do currículo tradicional (n = 148). Os resultadosforam analisados e quantificados pelo software estatístico SPSS versão 15.0 e Excel 2007 que possibilitou cruzar os dados das três turmas e fazer uma análise comparativa e nesse momento de renovação as variações entre as turmas foram pertinentes para apontar algumas mudanças ocorridas, como por exemplo, o avanço na atuação em conjunto com outras áreas profissionais, maior compreensão de processos,tomada de decisão e resolução de problemas no âmbito de sua área de atuação. Esses avanços não se devem apenas a mudança metodológica, mas a uma transformação na cultura pedagógica da instituição que ainda está em fase de construção por meio de ações que visam orientar adequações necessárias para um efetivo currículo integrado.

Um dos objetivos principais das propostas de mudança de paradigma no ensino odontológico do país tem sido o de conformar o perfil profissional do cirurgião-dentista de modo a torná-lo mais ajustado às exigências ditadas pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. Mas esse é um modelo de formação incipiente e que ainda carece de consensos em torno do modo como formar esses profissionais. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever e avaliar processos pedagógicos, técnicos epolíticos produzidos no percurso de implantação dos estágios curriculares de odontologia da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, apontando aspectos envolvidos nas experiências de reorientação da formação do cirurgião-dentista para sua atuação no Sistema Único de Saúde. Foram analisadas produções escritas e depoimentos de docentes, documentos e relatórios institucionais e pesquisas escolares. As redes de atenção e ensino em saúde bucal encontram-se em processo de estruturação, desafios precisam ser superados: expansãolimitada da atenção primária à saúde e, consequentemente, dos campos de estágios; necessidade de avanços nas discussões sobre o papel, atribuições e institucionalizações do preceptor/trabalhador e do tutor/docente; as incompreensões, ainda persistentes, a respeito dos estágios, tanto na instituição de ensino superior como na gestão e nos serviços do SUS; questões de financiamento; discurso hegemônico daclínica liberal-privatista e seus reflexos no embate constante entre tutores/preceptores e discentes; limites impostos pelo desenho fragmentado da rede de atenção em saúde.
