Penal and Palliative Discourses in the Debate of the Belle Dame sans Mercy: Achille Caulier's Cruelle Femme en Amour and Hôpital d'Amour
Authors: Singer Julie
Published: January 2016

From the time of its composition through the early 1460s, Alain Chartier's Belle Dame sans Mercy (1424) elicited a series of responses, including two continuations by Achille Caulier. This pair of closely related texts invites an exploration of the theoretical stakes of a confrontation between judicial and penal procedures and the medicalized body. Across Caulier's successive interventions in the querelle, medical language at first complements then ultimately supplants juridical discourse. Unlike the “punitive” metaphors identified by Susan Sontag, medicalized language empowers the late medieval sufferer: thanks to the diverse metaphorical valences of illness and therapy current in the fifteenth-century West, medicalization offers an alternate and potentially nonmoralistic or plurimoralistic mode of continuation. The late medieval debate over the Belle Dame thus affords contemporary critics a new perspective on what it is to give a disease a meaning.
Flame into Being: Spirits, Soul, and the Physiology of Early Modern Devotion
Authors: Sugg Richard
Published: January 2016

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, human physiology was mediated by the vital spirits. These fine vapors of heated blood and air not only linked body and soul, but were central to processes and ideas of generation, sight, mind-body unity, muscle and nerve action, and emotion. An ascending hierarchy of spirits rose from the liver, to the heart, up into the brain. This essay examines the distinctive role that bodily spirits played in Protestant religious experience, focusing especially on moments of particular interior drama. At a time when some Christians believed that the Spirit of God could fuse with these vital spirits in one's heart, the implications for “moments of grace” in Protestant piety are highly intriguing. The same can be said, mutatis mutandis, for moments when a “demonic” thought is suspected to have invaded the heart or brain.
Direct lateral maneuvers in hawkmoths
Authors: Greeter Jeremy S. M. , Hedrick Tyson L.
Published: January 2016

We used videography to investigate direct lateral maneuvers, i.e. ‘sideslips’, of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta. M. sexta sideslip by rolling their entire body and wings to reorient their net force vector. During sideslip they increase net aerodynamic force by flapping with greater amplitude, (in both wing elevation and sweep), allowing them to continue to support body weight while rolled. To execute the roll maneuver we observed in sideslips, they use an asymmetric wing stroke; increasing the pitch of the roll-contralateral wing pair, while decreasing that of the roll-ipsilateral pair. They also increase the wing sweep amplitude of, and decrease the elevation amplitude of, the contralateral wing pair relative to the ipsilateral pair. The roll maneuver unfolds in a stairstep manner, with orientation changing more during downstroke than upstroke. This is due to smaller upstroke wing pitch angle asymmetries as well as increased upstroke flapping counter-torque from left-right differences in global reference frame wing velocity about the moth's roll axis. Rolls are also opposed by stabilizing aerodynamic moments from lateral motion, such that rightward roll velocity will be opposed by rightward motion. Computational modeling using blade-element approaches confirm the plausibility of a causal linkage between the previously mentioned wing kinematics and roll/sideslip. Model results also predict high degrees of axial and lateral damping. On the time scale of whole and half wing strokes, left-right wing pair asymmetries directly relate to the first, but not second, derivative of roll. Collectively, these results strongly support a roll-based sideslip with a high degree of roll damping in M. sexta.

The number of zeros of a polynomial in a disk as a consequence of restrictions on the coefficients
Authors: Gardner Robert , Shields Brett
Published: January 2016

We put restrictions on the coefficients of polynomials and give bounds concerning the number of zeros in a specific region. The restrictions involve a monotonicity-type condition on the coefficients of the even powers of the variable and on the coefficients of the odd powers of the variable (treated separately). We present results by imposing the restrictions on the moduli of the coefficients, the real and imaginary parts of the coefficients, and the real parts (only) of the coefficients.
Metachronous small bowel metastasis from a mixed Müllerian mesodermal tumour
Authors: Williamson JML , Stevens M , Mahon D
Published: January 2016

A mixed Müllerian mesodermal tumour (MMMT) is a rare aggressive carcinosarcoma. Metastatic progression is uncommon, and occurs via haematological, lymphatic and intraperitoneal spread. Although the latter is seen most frequently, the small intestine seems to be relatively preserved from disease progression with only one reported case of synchronous involvement. We report a case of metachronous MMMT involvement of the small bowel presenting with subacute obstruction that was successfully resected at operation.

Published: January 2016

Locus of control is a concept examining who are what is responsible of the problems experienced by individiuals. In the most general sense, the values, which we can identify as having the features that make people humans and separate them from other beings, are obtained through modeling from childhood by observing first the parents in the family then adults in society. Especially in the preschool period, where the roots of personality are planted, the behaviors of preschool teachers are very important. The general aim of this research is to determine the locus of control and humanitarian values of preschool education teacher candidates and the relationship between these two concepts. The sample of the study is formed of 238 teacher candidates. Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, which was developed by Rotter (1966) and translated into Turkish by Dağ (1991), and Human Values Scale developed by Dilmaç (2007) were used in the research. Pearson Product -Moment Correlation, Independent Two-Group T-Test and One-Way Analysis of Variance were used in the research. It was determined that there is not a positively significant relation between the humanitarian values and locus of control of teacher candidates. Furthermore it was determined that there is not a significant difference in humanitarian values sub-dimensions in terms of grades.

 

Özet

Denetim Odağı, bireylerin yaşantılarının nedenlerini konusunda sorumluluğu kime ve neye yüklediğini açıklayan kavramdır. En genel anlamda, insanı diğer canlılardan ayıran ve insanı insan yapan özelliklere sahip olma olarak tanımlayabileceğimiz değerler ise, çocukluktan itibaren önce ailede daha sonra toplumda yetişkinler gözlenerek ve model alma yoluyla edinilmektedir. Özellikle kişiliğin temel öğelerinin atıldığı okulöncesi eğitim döneminde anne ve babadan sonra okulöncesi eğitimi öğretmenin de davranışları çocuk için çok önem kazanmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın genel amacı; okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının denetim odakları ile insani değerleri arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını saptamaktır. Araştırmanın örneklemini toplam 238 okulöncesi eğitimi öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada Rotter (1966) tarafından geliştirilen ve Dağ (1991) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlaması yapılan Rotter İç-Dış Kontrol Odağı Ölçeği ile Dilmaç (2007) tarafından geliştirilen İnsani Değerler Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilere Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon Katsayısı, T Testi ile Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin denetim odakları ile insani değerleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının denetim odakları ve insani değerlerinin sınıf değişkenine göre de farklılaşmadığı görülmüştür.

Território e Desigualdades de Renda em Regiões Metropolitanas do Brasil
Authors: Ribeiro Marcelo Gomes
Published: January 2016

O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir com o debate acerca das desigualdades de renda do trabalho nas regiões metropolitanas brasileiras, incorporando nos seus determinantes explicativos a localização residencial dos indivíduos na metrópole. As desigualdades de renda são analisadas a partir do contraste de três modelos de regressão linear múltipla – Mincer, Credencialismo e sobre-educação –, segundo os dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), de 1998, 2003 e 2009. Constatamos que a localização residencial dos indivíduos na metrópole tem efeito na explicação das desigualdades de renda e pode ser avaliada pela dupla escala da divisão social do território, segundo os modelos núcleo-periferia e favela-não favela. A análise dessa dupla escala demonstrou-se importante para gerar elementos empíricos que nos permitissem construir hipóteses sobre os mecanismos que explicam as diferenças entre os indivíduos na obtenção de renda do trabalho, a partir das contribuições analíticas do campo disciplinar da sociologia urbana, em especial, referente às contribuições dos estudos sobre efeitos de vizinhança.

Published: January 2016

Abstract Introduction : The Graded Wolf Motor Function Test (GWMFT) was developed as a modification of the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), designed to address moderate-to-severe upper-extremity motor impairment, consequent to a stroke or brain injury, by combining time and quality of movement measures in both isolated movements and functional tasks. Objectives : To translate and adapt the GWMFT form and instructions manual to Brazilian Portuguese and evaluate the inter-rater reliability. Materials and methods : Ten individuals, mean age 53.2 ± 11.39 (range: 28-72) years and a mean time since stroke onset of 82.5 ± 85.83 (16-288) months participated in the study. After translation and cultural adaptation, two independent evaluators, based on the instructions manual information, administered GWMFT. Video observations were used to rate the time and the compensatory movements in the Functional Ability Scale (FAS). Intra-class Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots were calculated to examine the inter-rater reliability for performance time and FAS. Results : The translated and adapted version obtained a total ICC inter-rater time 0.99 (0.95-1.00), showing less reliability in the task of lifting a pen, with ICC = 0.71 (- 0.15-0.93). The ICC of the total FAS was 0.98 (0.92-0.99) and the task of elbow extension has shown the lowest ICC rate = 0.83 (0.31-0.96). Conclusion : The GWMFT scale reliability proved to be appropriate to evaluate the paretic upper limb in individuals with chronic hemiparesis post severe stroke.

Published: January 2016

Abstract Introduction : Sleeping is characterized by a temporary suspension of voluntary sensory and motor activity, regulated by the circadian cycle-and the biological clock, and any changes in their days function and general test results in poor quality of it, can affect the quality of life as a whole. Objective : To analyze the quality of sleeping in individuals with insomnia and its influence on quality of life. Methods : We interviewed 11 women from a specific questionnaire to evaluate the Quality of Sleeping Index (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality / PSQI) and one for quality of life (SF-36). Discussion : It was found that all participants had changes in sleep and quality of life was associated with tobacco use and lack of physical activity. The average found in the SF-36 was 39.0, and the most affected issues were the general health, social functioning, role physical limitations, pain and mental health. In PSQI score was obtained 13 points, indicating poor quality of sleeping and significant correlation was observed between the questionnaires, in which domains of physical functioning, vitality and social aspects showed moderate correlation. Conclusions : Poor sleeping quality can lead to compromised quality of life of individuals with insomnia.

Published: January 2016

Abstract Introduction : Parkinson's disease is one of the fastest growing neurological disorders in the world and is considered to be predominantly a motor disorder, classified as neurodegenerative, chronic and extrapyramidal, characterized by tremors, muscular rigidity, postural balance deficit and bradykinesia. Objective : To analyze the functional changes presented by Parkinson's disease patients in the different evolutionary stages of the disease. Methods : The sample included 30 patients of both genders, aged between 51 and 75 years, with clinical diagnoses of Parkinson's disease in different evolutionary stages, undergoing physiotherapy in the Pernambuco Parkinson Association. The patients were evaluated through the Hoehn and Yahr Staging Scale and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Results : The results highlighted an increase in the presence and severity of the changes presented by the Parkinson's disease patients, according to the evolution of the stages of the disease, especially considering aspects relating to motor activity and activities of daily living, including changes related to speech, swallowing, the ability to get dressed, personal hygiene, turning in bed and arising from a chair, occurrence of falls, posture, gait, postural stability and the presence of bradykinesia/hypokinesia. Conclusion : It is believed that the classification of the evolutionary stage of patients through the Hoehn and Yahr Scale and the registration of functional change through the UPDRS are useful for the development of the physiotherapy treatment plan.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the polymorphisms in TCN2 (rs1801198) gene and in MTRR (rs1801394) gene with nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) in a Brazilian population. Genomic DNA was extracted from buccal cells. The polymorphisms in TCN2 (rs1801198) and MTRR (rs1801394) genes were genotyped by carrying out real-time PCR and Taqman assay. Chi-square test was used to determine the association between genotype and allele frequencies with NSCL/P and NSCL/P subgroups (cleft lip only, cleft lip and palate, and cleft palate only). Eight hundred and sixty seven unrelated individuals (401 cases with NSCL/P and 466 individuals without cleft) were evaluated. Genotype distributions of TCN2 and MTRR polymorphisms were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The TCN2 polymorphic genotype GG was identified in 16.7% of the NSCL/P group and in 14.1% of the non-cleft group (p>0.05). Similarly, the frequency of MTRR genotype (GG) was similar in NSCL/P group (15.5%) and control group (17.8%) (p>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed an association between MTRR and the subgroup that the mother smoked during pregnancy (p=0.039). Our findings did not demonstrate an association between TCN2 polymorphisms and NSCL/P, however suggests an association between MTRR and NSCL/P etiology

Published: January 2016

The aim of this study was to evaluate the corrosion resistance of pure titanium grade 4 (cp-Ti-4), subjected to disinfection with 0.2% and 2% peracetic acid during different immersion periods using anodic potentiodynamic polarization test in acid and neutral artificial saliva. Cylindrical samples of cp-Ti-4 (5 mm x 5 mm) were used to fabricate 24 working electrodes, which were mechanically polished and divided into eight groups (n=3) for disinfection in 2% and 0.2% peracetic acid for 30 and 120 min. After disinfection, anodic polarization was performed in artificial saliva with pH 4.8 and 6.8 to assess the electrochemical behavior of the electrodes. A conventional electrochemical cell, constituting a reference electrode, a platinum counter electrode, and the working electrode (cp-Ti specimens) were used with a scanning rate of 1 mV/s. Three curves were obtained for each working electrode, and corrosion was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS). Data of corrosion potential (Ecorr) and passive current (Ipass) obtained by the polarization curves were analyzed statistically by Student's t-test (a=0.05). The statistical analysis showed no significant differences (p>0.05) between artificial saliva types at different concentrations and periods of disinfection, as well as between control and experimental groups. No surface changes were observed in all groups evaluated. In conclusion, disinfection with 0.2% and 2% peracetic acid concentrations did not cause corrosion in samples manufactured with cp-Ti-4.
Espírito e liberdade na obra de Viktor Frankl
Authors: Pereira Ivo Studart
Published: January 2016

Resumo: O presente trabalho tem o propósito de expor e analisar o primeiro dos três fundamentos básicos relativos à logoterapia de Viktor Frankl: o problema da liberdade humana. Iniciamos nosso esforço argumentativo por meio da discussão a respeito do significado da categoria "espírito" enquanto conceito antropológico e sua intrínseca relação com o tema da liberdade humana. Num segundo momento, discute-se como essa visão de liberdade se relaciona com aquilo que Frankl entendeu como os três complexos básicos de determinação aos quais o homem está submetido sob a forma dos "destinos" biológico, psicológico e sociológico. Analisamos o argumento afirmativo da liberdade espiritual no contexto de cada um desses domínios.
Afeição e filosofia primeira: relação entre fenomenologia e ciências da vida
Authors: Martins Florinda
Published: January 2016

Resumo: Neste trabalho defendo a tese de que o acesso à fenomenalidade dos fenômenos, e mesmo o acesso a eles próprios, é possível apenas em registo de copropriedade de vida: afeição vida-vivo. Mostro as implicações desta tese numa teoria da cultura, especificando a cultura das relações entre fenomenologia e ciências da saúde. Interrogo a possibilidade de se julgarem os corpos na fenomenalidade da afeição e, com o juízo dos corpos, serem julgadas as nossas dores e doenças. Inscrevo estas questões na continuidade do trabalho iniciado por Michel Henry no que respeita às fundações da interdisciplinaridade, nomeadamente, entre fenomenologia e clínica. Alinho-as com uma tradição filosófico-científica com raízes no quase contemporâneo de Descartes, Francisco Sanches, para, de Descartes, retomar as hesitações e os questionamentos que ele mesmo introduziu no seu corpus filosófico: dependência do espírito da disposição dos órgãos. Ao retomar esse esquecido pensamento de Francisco Sanches e de Descartes interrogo o lugar da fenomenalidade da afeição na interlocução dos saberes filosófico-científicos.

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to evaluate whether the essential oil of Aloysia triphylla (EOAT) used in vivo as a sedative in the water for transporting fish could increase the oxidative stability of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) fillets during frozen storage. The chemical composition of EOAT and of fillets from fish exposed to EOAT (0, 30 or 40µL L-1) were assessed. The pH and lipid oxidation parameters (conjugated dienes, CD; thiobarbituric acid-reactive-substances, TBARS) were evaluated in the fillets throughout the storage period (-18±2oC/17 months). The main compounds found in EOAT were α- and β-citral. Treatment with EOAT did not modify the proximate composition of the fillets, but 40µL L-1 EOAT reduced pH levels when compared to the control fillets (P<0.05). Compared to the control fillets, the fillets from fish treated with 30 and 40µL L-1 EOAT had higher initial CD values (P<0.05), whereas fillets from fish treated with 40µL L-1 EOAT had lower TBARS levels after 6, 9 and 17 months of storage (P<0.05). Results indicated that use of EOAT as a sedative in silver catfish transport water delays the degradation of primary oxidation products (CD) into secondary products (TBARS) in the frozen fillets. This delay in the lipid oxidation rate may increase the shelf life of frozen fillets.

Published: January 2016

RESUMO: O cultivo in vitro tem sido utilizado para propagação de plantas ornamentais. A escolha do meio de cultivo e a concentração ideal de produtos orgânicos utilizados no enriquecimento dos meios, como a sacarose, são decisivos na elaboração de protocolos. Dessa forma, objetivou-se avaliar o crescimento inicial de Miltonia flavescens, cultivada por 90 e 180 dias, em quatro meios de cultivo com diferentes concentrações de sacarose. Plantas com 12 meses e germinadas in vitro foram cultivadas nos meios MS, MS 1/2, K e VW, cada um deles suplementado com 1,5g L-1 de carvão ativado, 6,5g L-1 de ágar bacteriológico e com 25, 30, 35, 40 e 45g L-1 de sacarose. Aos 90 e 180 dias, foram avaliadas quanto à massa fresca, número de raízes, de folhas e de brotos e quanto ao comprimento da parte aérea e da maior raiz. As maiores médias para número de raízes, comprimento da parte aérea e massa fresca total foram obtidas nas plantas cultivadas por 180 dias em meio MS 1/2, suplementado com 25g L-1 de sacarose. O maior comprimento de raiz foi verificado nas plantas cultivadas por 180 dias em meio MS suplementado com 45g L-1 de sacarose. Já o número de brotos e de folhas não foram influenciados pelas concentrações de sacarose. M. flavescens apresentou maior crescimento da parte aérea e raiz, quando cultivada por 180 dias em meio MS 1/2, suplementado com 25g L-1 de sacarose.

Published: January 2016

The aims of this study were to assess in vitro if bovine oocytes and oviductal epithelial cells from slaughterhouses for in vitro fertilization use may be infected with bovine herpesvirus 1; to analyze whether the treatment with trypsin according to the International Embryo Transfer Society guideline is efficient to inactivate the bovine herpesvirus 1; to morphologically study the virus-oocyte interaction through optical microscopy. In this study, Madin Darby Bovine Kidney (MDBK) cells that were co-cultured with oocytes matured in vitro and exposed to bovine herpesvirus 1 showed a cytopathic effect. The nested polymerase chain reaction for the supernatant was positive for the bovine herpesvirus 1, thus suggesting that the cytopathic effect observed in the MDBK monolayer was seen due to virus replication and not because of any culture toxicity. It was also observed cytopathic effect and positive nested polymerase chain reaction in MDBK cells co-cultured with in vitro maturated oocytes free of virus, but that were co-cultured in uterine epithelial cells pre-infected with bovine herpesvirus 1 and washed or not with trypsin, demonstrating an oocyte contamination by the virus. When trypsin-washing efficacy was evaluated, we could observe that the trypsin treatment was not able to eliminate the bovine herpesvirus 1 of the oocytes, and it was not observed any morphological difference in the infected oocytes.

Objective: Evaluate fluoride concentration in 500ml commercial brands of bottled water and compare it to the amount printed on the label. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted. Samples of nine different commercial brands of 500ml bottled water were collected at authorized distribution points in the city of Fortaleza, CE, Brazil, in 2013. Fluoride concentration was determined in duplicate using a fluoride ion-selective electrode. The results were obtained from linear regression of the calibration curve. Results: Fluoride concentrations ranged between 0.07 and 0.63 ppm F- or mg F/L. There were significant differences between the values printed on the labels and those found in the analysis. The fluoride concentration levels determined were not in compliance with the recommended levels by the National Health Surveillance Agency. Conclusions: The results obtained confirm the need for more careful monitoring of fluoride levels in bottled water and closer sanitary inspections.

Method: longitudinal retrospective study that evaluated the records of women treated in hospital clinics from January 2000 to December 2012. Results: they evaluated the records of 438 women. The analysis showed that were not able to perform their daily activities, limited to the activities of self-care. Older patients had greater functional impairment during therapy. Conclusions: the sample was women 41 to 50 years, diagnosed with breast cancer (50.9%) and made use of anthracycline based protocols (47%); the scores of the functional capacity of the sample fell from 78.22 to 73.57. It is evident that nursing care should focus on the control of signs and symptoms that impact the functional capacity of women under chemotherapy.
The translator's sleight of hand: Robert L. Scott-Buccleuch as unreliable reader of Dom Casmurro
Authors: Krause James R.
Published: January 2016

Abstract Robert L. Scott-Buccleuch's translation of Dom Casmurro has gained notoriety for excluding nine of the original's 148 chapters. Once this editorial imposition came to light, critics have reacted strongly against him for abridging one of the most celebrated novels of Brazil's most revered writer. The excision of nine chapters, however, cannot be disregarded as a mere error of interpretation; it was a deliberate and calculated decision on the part of a highly engaged reader. In fact, one could argue that Scott-Buccleuch's deletion imitates many of the narrative techniques of the novel's narrator-protagonist. Studying this controversial translation enhances our understanding of the underlying metanarrative structure of Dom Casmurro, especially in regards to the relationships between author, narrator, and reader.
Entre experiência e invenção: incidências autobiográficas em Antônio Torres
Authors: Gonçalves Rogério Gustavo
Published: January 2016

RESUMO Na literatura de Antônio Torres, a presença de elementos que remetem a experiências pessoais e a características específicas de sua vida, trabalhados artisticamente, faz com que o memorialismo que rege a narração da história dos personagens mescle-se, em alguns momentos, com as memórias íntimas do escritor. Com base nessas características, este artigo tem por objetivo explorar, nos romances de Antônio Torres, os procedimentos de ficcionalização de dados vivenciais, dada a sua relevância no processo de construção narrativa e na relação autor-texto-leitor. A partir da leitura dialogal do conjunto de sua obra, buscamos apreender o delineamento de um "mito do escritor" ou de uma personalidade literária e a consequente edificação de um espaço autobiográfico, que se traduz num universo ficcional singular, em que personagens, temas e situações reaparecem com frequência, produzindo um elo comunicativo entre os textos e provocando a familiarização imediata do leitor. Além da produção de uma imagem literária de Antônio Torres, verificamos como a migração de elementos de ordem pessoal para a sua obra deixa penetrar, no plano ficcional, informações da realidade político-social que o autor presencia. Aproveitando-se da sua terra natal e de sua gente para retratar o impacto das transformações sociais sobre o povo do sertão, a obra de Torres acaba refletindo a preocupação em mostrar a crise de identidade do sertanejo nordestino, apegado às lembranças de um passado que não se une ao presente.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate four cultivars of saccharine sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) regarding productivity, chemical composition of plant parts, and quality of the ensiling process. The tested varieties of saccharine sorghum were BRS 506, BRS 508, BRS 509, and BRS 511. The experiment was divided into two trials, which assessed: production, morphological composition, and nutritional quality of the saccharine varieties; and fermentation quality and nutritional value of the silage produced from the saccharine varieties. Of the tested varieties, BRS 509 and BRS 511 showed the highest total dry matter (DM) production. The BRS 508 variety presented the highest in vitro digestibility of the whole plant (70.65% DM). During ensiling, the BRS 509 variety showed the lowest DM loss (8.87%). The highest effluent production was observed for BRS 506 and BRS 508, with yields of 521.87 and 393.16 kg Mg-1 ensiled DM, respectively. The BRS 511 variety is the most recommended because of the best results for plant production and nutritional quality. Regarding the ensiling process, BRS 509 presents the lowest fermentation losses and the highest nutritional value of silage.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da interação entre sistemas produtivos e estações do ano sobre a qualidade química e microbiológica do leite bovino, além de propor um índice de potencial nutracêutico do perfil de ácidos graxos do leite. Três propriedades foram avaliadas mensalmente, durante as diferentes estações do ano, em quatro graus de especialização dos sistemas de produção: altamente especializado, especializado, semiespecializado e não especializado. Os sistemas de produção e as estações do ano interferem de forma conjunta no perfil de ácidos graxos e, de forma isolada, na qualidade química e microbiológica do leite. As maiores contagens de células somáticas e os menores conteúdos de proteína foram observados no verão, e o grau de especialização das unidades produtivas esteve indiretamente relacionado à contagem bacteriana total no leite. No inverno, sistemas não especializados produziram leite com o melhor índice nutracêutico, que apresentaram os maiores teores de ácidos graxos poli-insaturados, ácido rumênico (CLA, 18:2n7-c9,t11) e ácido t10,c12-octadecadienoico (CLA, 18:2n6-t10,c12).

Abstract This longitudinal study evaluated the association between the incidence of youth overweight/obesity (Ow/Ob) and low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) over 4 years and youths' and their parents' demographic and nutritional characteristics. The randomized sample comprised 398 youth, aged 7-17 years at baseline, from a city in southern Brazil. Subjects were classified as being Ow/Ob according to international body mass index (BMI) parameters. Parental weight and height were determined by direct questioning. Youth CRF was measured by a 9-minute walk-and-run test. The cumulative incidences of Ow/Ob and of low CRF levels were 25.1% and 20.5%, respectively. Relative to other youth, youth who were classified as "unhealthy" at baseline (with respect to CRF) and by the fourth year were more likely to be classified as Ow/Ob (relative risks: 1.12 and 1.10, respectively). Youth whose mothers were categorized as Ow/Ob were at higher risk of being classified as Ow/Ob than youth whose mothers had normal BMIs (relative risks: 1.19 at baseline and 1.20 in the fourth year). The incidence of Ow/Ob among the former youth was associated with low CRF levels and with maternal Ob.

Authors: Pérez-Gutiérrez Mikel , Lagos-Hernández Roberto Iván
Published: January 2016

Abstract To date, several studies about sport sciences in Chile have been developed, but any of them has been focused on its scientific journals. Thus, the aim of the present study was to prepare a bibliography of the sport sciences scientific journals published in Chile until 2014 and describe their characteristics and quality. All journals dedicated to sport sciences and published in Chile until 2014 were included, registering their bibliographic information, characteristics and quality. Twelve journals published from 1912 to 2014 were discovered, six of them currently edited. Most of them were published by universities in the metropolitan region with a biannual frequency, did not include address information of editorial committee's members, used a non blind review process for submitted articles and were not indexed in any database. In conclusion, these journals should improve their formal aspects and characteristics for increasing their visibility and quality.
El nacional liberalismo del economista peruano José Manuel Rodríguez, 1857-1936
Authors: Contreras Carranza Carlos Alberto
Published: January 2016

El artículo busca contribuir a la reconstrucción del pensamiento económico latinoamericano, tan necesitado de una tradición propia en esta materia. José M. Rodríguez fue un economista peruano cuyo trabajo discurrió entre las últimas décadas del siglo xix y las primeras del xx. Fue funcionario público y escribió profusamente sobre la economía peruana de la época, proponiendo diagnósticos y soluciones a sus problemas. Identificó los defectos crónicos de la economía nacional y desarrolló ideas que, partiendo del liberalismo, evolucionaron hacia una doctrina que bautizamos como nacional-liberalismo, por su semejanza en algunos puntos con el nacional-socialismo europeo. Rodríguez propuso la protección de la industria nacional y el control de la inversión extranjera, apartándose de un liberalismo económico ortodoxo y simple.
Unequal Advantages
Authors: Lawrence Matthew
Published: January 2016

Researchers and policymakers argue that expanding college access is one way to increase opportunities for students who would become the first in their families to enroll in a postsecondary institution. This article uses measures of educational attainment in the previous two generations to consider whether parents’ own histories of educational mobility and reproduction explain inequalities in how students prepare for college. Results suggest differences across generational categories in the types of colleges to which students apply and in the effects of parent-student discussions about topics related to college planning. These differences are explained by distinguishing the resources some families acquire through upward mobility from the resources that accumulate in families where educational privileges have been previously reproduced.
A Multination Study of Socioeconomic Inequality in Expectations for Progression to Higher Education

Published: January 2016

Persistent inequalities in educational expectations across societies are a growing concern. Recent research has explored the extent to which inequalities in education are due to primary effects (i.e., achievement differentials) versus secondary effects (i.e., choice behaviors net of achievement). We explore educational expectations in order to consider whether variations in primary and secondary effects are associated with country variation in curricular and ability stratification. We use evidence from the PISA 2003 database to test the hypothesis that (a) greater between-school academic stratification would be associated with stronger relationships between socioeconomic status and educational expectations and (b) when this effect is decomposed, achievement differentials would explain a greater proportion of this relationship in countries with greater stratification. Results supported these hypotheses.
Sensitivity analysis of the residual stress state in friction stir welding of high strength aluminum alloy
Authors: Bachmann Marcel , Rethmeier Michael , Wu Chuan Song
Published: January 2016

In this paper, the friction stir welding process was numerically investigated for 6 mm thick aluminum alloy AA2024-T3. The finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics was used to calculate the transient thermal field during welding and the mechanical reaction depending on different mechanical clamping conditions and hardening models subsequently. A thermal pseudo-mechanical (TPM) heat source was implemented. Softening effects of the material due to precipitation hardening dissolution caused by the frictional heat were accounted for. The transient temperature evolution measured by thermocouple elements at various locations was compared to the numerical results. A good agreement was found for the thermal field. A sensitivity study of the mechanical models showed the strong influence of the clamping conditions and the softening model.

Extrusion-shear (ES), a novel severe plastic deformation (SPD) method which includes initial forward extrusion and a subsequent one step shearing process, has been developed to fabricate fine grained AZ61 Mg alloys in a Gleeble 1500D thermomechanical simulator for the first time. The effects of the ES process on the grain refinement of an as cast magnesium alloy were investigated at different extrusion speeds and the microstructures of the as processed billet and rods were investigated at right, central and left positions. It was found that the extrusion force caused by the ES process at 5 mm × s−1 is about 5 times of that caused at an extrusion speed of 1 mm × s−1. Besides, the increase of extrusion speed could improve the deformation stress. The ES extrusion causes serve plastic deformation and improves the dynamic recrystallization during the process. The results confirmed that the ES process can be used to refine the grains effectively and to produce serve plastic deformation. The microstructural investigation showed that grain sizes are finer in the bottom parts than in the other parts of the rod.

The isothermal section at 1 050 °C and the liquidus projection in the Co-rich portion of the ternary Co–Ti–Zr system were determined. The microstructures and solidification paths of the as-cast alloys were established experimentally. The constituent phases and their compositions of both as-cast and heat-treated alloys were investigated by means of optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis. No ternary compound was observed. For the Co-rich portion of the isothermal section at 1 050 °C, there are four three-phase regions, αCo + TiCo3 + TiCo2 (h), αCo + TiCo2 (h) + (Ti,Zr)Co2 (c), αCo + (Ti,Zr)Co2 (c) + Zr6Co23 and αCo + Zr2Co11 + Zr6Co23. For the investigated liquidus projection, there exist six primary crystallization fields: αCo, TiCo3, TiCo2 (h), (Ti,Zr)Co2 (c), Zr2Co11 and Zr6Co23; three transition invariant reactions, L + αCo → TiCo3 + TiCo2 (h), L + (Ti,Zr)Co2 (c) → αCo + TiCo2 (h), and L + Zr6Co23 → αCo + Zr2Co11; and one eutectic invariant reaction of L → αCo + (Ti,Zr)Co2 (c) + Zr6Co23.

Published: January 2016

The influence of the addition of Ni(NO3)2 · 6H2O on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low-carbon MgO–C refractory composites was investigated. The results indicated that MgO whiskers and carbon nanotubes could be generated in low-carbon MgO–C refractory composites with Ni(NO3)2 · 6H2O in a reducing atmosphere at 1 200 °C. The magnitudes of the cold crushing strength, the cold modulus of rupture, the fracture displacement, and the residual cold crushing strength are increased by 47 %, 66 %, 8 % and 26 %, respectively. The MgO–C refractory composites with the addition of 0.6 wt.% Ni(NO3)2 · 6H2O result in better overall properties. The MgO whiskers were generated via a dissolution–diffusion–precipitation mechanism, and their growth is in accordance with the vapour–liquid–solid model.
