The Technological Diversity of Lithic Industries in Eastern South America during the Late Pleistocene-Holocene Transition
Authors: Carlos Moreno De Sousa João 
Published: January 2020

Brazilian archaeological literature has insisted for decades upon associating hunter-gatherer sites dated to the Pleistocene–Holocene transition either to the Itaparica tradition, if located in central or northeastern Brazil, or to the Umbu tradition and Humaitá tradition, if located in southern Brazil, Uruguay, or any other adjacent part of Paraguay and Argentina. These associations have been based almost entirely on the presence or absence of lesmas and “projectile points,” regardless of their morphological and technological features. In the Uruguayan archaeological literature, three other cultures are recognised: Fell industry, Catalanense industry, and Tigre tradition, all in the Uruguayan region. However, the last 10 years of systematic studies on the lithic assemblages from these sites have shown that Paleoindian societies from Eastern South America are more culturally diverse than expected and that previously defined archaeological cultures present several issues in their definition, suggesting that many of these “traditions” are not valid and should no longer be used. Instead, new lithic industries and archaeological cultures should be defined only when cultural patterns are observable through systematic analyses.

Published: January 2020

Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a simple, validated, and noninvasive method to assess the microcirculation, through direct visualization of the capillaries. Main patterns are classified, according to Cutolo et al., as scleroderma, further divided into early, active, or late patterns, or nonscleroderma. NFC findings include dilated loops, tortuosities, meandering or bushy capillaries, hemorrhage, or architectural distortion. NFC use has been indicated for the evaluation of Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP), once it permits the distinction between primary and secondary RP. NFC results accounts for diagnostic criteria of systemic sclerosis, but they can also be useful in staging other connective tissue autoimmune diseases, like systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory myositis, or vasculitis. The CSURI index uses NFC for prediction of digital ulcer relapse. Recent evidence revealed NFC can also be applied in systemic disorders with vascular involvement.

Las expectativas del alumnado que determinan la elección de una titulación en Turismo condicionan sus conductas durante y después de sus estudios. Para identificar estas expectativas se realizó una encuesta al alumnado de Turismo de primer curso. Un análisis factorial nos ha permitido identificar los factores de mayor peso en la elección: Internacionalización, Expectativas de empleo, Emprendimiento, Importancia del sector e Interés por la titulación. Finalmente, se ha completado el estudio analizando sus expectativas sobre las salidas profesionales vinculadas al ámbito turístico.
Interests that drive students to choose a Tourism degree will condition their behaviour in their studies and later on. In order to identify such interests we carried out a survey addressed to the first year Tourism students. A factorial analysis was conducted finding the main factors in the degree choice: Internationalization, Job expectations, Entrepreneurship, Sector importance and Interest for the degree. Finally, we completed the research identifying the expectations about their professional future in the tourism field.

Published: January 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la influencia de las características sociodemográficas en la personalidad del turista en aras de justificar su potencial como criterio de segmentación de mercados turísticos de sol y playa. Para medir la personalidad se utilizó el método BIG FIVE y el rasgo de personalidad denominado búsqueda de sensaciones, aplicados a una muestra de 450 turistas de Gran Canaria (España). Los resultados muestran que las características sociodemográficas influyen en la personalidad de los turistas, siendo idónea, por tanto, como criterio de segmentación de mercados.
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on tourist personality in order to be used as segmentation criteria for sun and beaches tourists. The method used to measure personality is the “Big 5” and the personality trait referred to as sensation seeking. A sample of 450 tourists was carried out on Gran Canaria (Spain). According to the results, socio-demographic characteristics influence on tourist personality traits, and therefore they could be of interest as a tourist market segmentation criteria.

El artículo revisa las tendencias del sector turístico en Cataluña, desde la aprobación del primer Plan Estratégico de Turismo 2005-2010 hasta el segundo Plan Estratégico de Turismo 2013-2016 aún vigente, con el objetivo de orientar y hacer propuestas a incluir en el próximo Plan Estratégico de Turismo. Se observa que, aunque el segundo plan avanza en diversos aspectos respecto al primero, existen ciertos factores que no han sido corregidos durante su periodo de vigencia. El trabajo también aflora algunas tendencias actuales que deberían ser consideradas en futuras planificaciones turísticas.
This paper analyses the Catalan tourism sector progress and trend since the first Strategic Plan of Tourism in Catalonia 2005-2010 until the second Strategic Plan of Tourism of Catalonia 2013-2016 with the aim of guiding and making proposals to be included in the next Tourism Strategic Plan. The results show that, despite the second plan has progressed in some aspects with respect to the first; there are several factors that have not been corrected. In this sense, the analysis that we carry out highlights some trends than should be included in future tourism plans.
Turismo y consumo del espacio urbano en Barcelona. Análisis de la relación residente-turista en el barrio de La Barceloneta
Authors: Zaar Miriam-Hermi , Pontes da Fonseca Maria Aparecida 
Published: January 2020

Las políticas públicas y el turismo masivo han impulsado nuevas lógicas urbanísticas asociadas al proceso de gentrificación, en las que se incluyen la especulación inmobiliaria y la mercantilización del espacio público. Para la contextualización de esta problemática, que implica la relación entre residentes, turistas y agentes inmobiliarios/turísticos se eligió el barrio barcelonés de La Barceloneta, en cuyo escenario se observa cómo la demanda de los visitantes discrepa de las necesidades de los residentes y cómo las actividades turísticas afectan la vida cotidiana de sus ciudadanos. Asimismo, se evalúan los impactos socio territoriales que causan un mayor nivel de rechazo vecinal y que han sido motivo de reivindicaciones y protestas que exigen la reglamentación de las viviendas de uso turístico (VUT) y del uso del espacio público, lo que se ha conseguido, aunque parcialmente, a través de la aprobación del PEUAT.
Public policies and mass tourism have promoted new urban logic associated with the gentrification process, which includes real estate speculation and the commercialization of public space. For the contextualization of this problem, which implies the relationship between residents, tourists and real estate agents / tourists, was chosen the La Barceloneta neighbourhood, in whose scenario it is observed how the demand of the visitors disagrees with the needs of the residents and how tourism activities affect the daily lives of its citizens. Likewise, this paper evaluates the socio-territorial impacts that cause a greater level of neighbourhood rejection, as well as claims and protests that require the regulation of housing for tourist use (VUT) and the use of public space, which has been achieved, although not entirely, through the approval of the PEUAT.

Estudio de 17 figuras de bronce en forma de un jinete con casco, denominadas “Jinetes de tipo La Bastida”. Constituyen un grupo de bronces ibéricos de gran interés, pues representan la epipháneiadel heros equitans sobre volutas que simbolizan el “Árbol de la Vida” para indicar su carácter sacro y sobrenatural. Se desconoce su contexto arqueológico, pero su estilo jonio-ibérico permite fecharlos desde fines del siglo VI al siglo II a.C. Estos bronces eran la imagen del heros equitanscomo antepasado mítico de las elites ecuestres que gobernaban la sociedad ibérica, de las que eran el Patrono y Protector. Su popularidad y la presencia por Andalucía de este tipo iconográfico indica la expansión de ejércitos y gentes ibéricas filohelenas,probablemente asociadas a topónimos en Ili-.

Background: Given the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the community and the use of metformin as one of its most common therapies as well as presence of some evidences on a link between the use of this medicine and vitamin B12 levels, we decided to measure and compare serum level of vitamin B12 among the diabetic patients under treatment by metformin and compare with its natural content. Decreased Vitamin B12 levels leads to some clinical problems including anemia, gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, etc.,), neurological disorders (tingle, numbness, muscle weakness, etc.,) and mental disorders (memory impairment, depression, behavioral problems, etc.,). Therefore, we would determine if the duration of metformin use and dosage may be effective on serum levels of vitamin B12 among metformin-treated diabetic patients.
Methods: Serum vitamin B12 level in metformin-treated type 2 diabetic patients referred to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital and Specialist Clinic of Taban in Tehran in 2016 (306 subjects selected by convenience sampling) was determined and then compared to its normal level.
Results: Of the 306 participants in the study, 120 ones were females (39.2%) and 186 ones were males (60.8%). Also, 150 ones (49%) were healthy and 156 ones (51%) were suffering from diabetes Miletus. There was a significant difference between the type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy individuals with quantitative variables such as age, height, weight, BMI, serum cholesterol (Chol) level, LDL serum level, HDL serum level, triglyceride (TG) level. The mean blood level of Vitamin B12 level was 448.92±156.75pg/mL among all participants. A Vitamin B12 deficiency frequency of above 6% was seen among diabetic patients. In regression analysis, a model was defined based on which age, gender, diabetes and Metformin used had a significant effect on serum levels of vitamin B-12. Also, none of the variables gender, age, duration of treatment, metformin quantity, weight and BMI was associated with a deficiency of vitamin B12.
Conclusion: In the diabetic group, the prevalence of Vitamin B12 deficiency was more than6%. It was also seen that age, gender, diabetes mellitus, metformin intake and metformin content had a significant effect on serum B12 levels. Therefore, measurement of serum levels of vitamin B12 in metformin-treated subjects is recommended.

ObjectiveThe present study was undertaken to evaluate the probability of achieving the Clinical Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (cDAPSA) treatment targets of remission or low disease activity (LDA) with apremilast based on disease activity categories and corresponding responses in arthritis and other domains of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) not included in the cDAPSA.MethodsPooled analyses from the Psoriatic Arthritis Long‐term Assessment of Clinical Efficacy studies 1, 2, and 3 were performed. Probability analyses assessing the likelihood of achieving cDAPSA treatment targets by week 52 were performed using multiple imputation for discontinuations and missing values. Longitudinal analyses were performed in patients grouped by cDAPSA category at week 52.ResultsAmong 494 patients in the probability analyses, 46.9% with moderate disease activity and 24.9% with high disease activity at baseline achieved treatment targets (remission or LDA) by week 52. For patients with moderate disease activity at baseline, small improvements (cDAPSA reductions ≥30%) by week 16 were associated with achieving targets. Patients achieving remission or LDA by week 16 had high probabilities of remaining at treatment targets at week 52. Of 375 patients with cDAPSA components available at week 52, achieving targets with apremilast was associated with continuous disease activity improvements and no or mild arthritis and other PsA manifestations.ConclusionThe probability of achieving treatment targets (remission or LDA) at week 52 was greater for patients with moderate versus high disease activity at baseline. At a mean level, partial improvements by week 16 were associated with achieving treatment targets. Patients receiving apremilast who achieved cDAPSA targets by week 52 also had no or mild arthritis or other PsA manifestations.

ObjectiveThe type 1 and type 2 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) categorization system was recently proposed to validate the patients’ perspective of disease and to capture a more comprehensive spectrum of symptoms. The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical manifestations of SLE subtypes and to determine the correlation between the patient‐ and physician‐reported measures used in the model.MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study of patients with SLE in a university clinic. Patients completed the Systemic Lupus Activity Questionnaire (SLAQ) and 2011 American College of Rheumatology fibromyalgia (FM) criteria. Active SLE was defined as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) score ≥6, clinical SLEDAI score ≥4, or active lupus nephritis. We identified 4 groups: type 1 SLE (active SLE without FM), type 2 SLE (inactive SLE with FM), mixed SLE (active SLE with FM), and minimal SLE (inactive SLE without FM).ResultsIn this cohort of 212 patients (92% female, mean age 45 years), 30% had type 1 SLE, 8% had type 2 SLE, 13% had mixed SLE, and 49% had minimal SLE. Regardless of SLE disease activity, patients with FM (21%), reported higher SLAQ scores, patient global assessment scores, and self‐reported lupus flare that resulted in discordance between patient‐ and physician‐reported measures.ConclusionFatigue, widespread pain, sleep dysfunction, and mood disorders are common symptoms in SLE. Identifying these symptoms as type 2 SLE may be a method to improve patient communication and understanding. The level of type 2 SLE impacts patients’ perception of disease and self‐reported symptoms. The SLAQ may need to be reinterpreted based on the FM severity scale.

Published: January 2020

ObjectiveCardiovascular disease (CVD) is accelerated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis (LN). Despite the literature suggesting that renal arteriosclerosis predicts CVD in other glomerulonephritis diseases, arteriosclerosis grading and reporting might be particularly overlooked in LN biopsies. Our objective was to examine the burden of renal arteriosclerosis in LN and to assess whether arteriosclerosis is underreported in LN biopsies.MethodsWe identified all patients with LN undergoing kidney biopsy between 1994 and 2017 at an academic center. We interpreted LN biopsy reports to classify the Banff categories of absent, mild, moderate, or severe renal arteriosclerosis. The prevalence of renal arteriosclerosis was compared with the prevalence published for age‐matched healthy peers, and predictors of arteriosclerosis were examined. We overread biopsies for Banff renal arteriosclerosis grading and compared to pathology reports.ResultsAmong 189 incident patients with LN, renal arteriosclerosis prevalence was 2 decades earlier compared to their healthy peers, affecting 40% of patients ages 31–39 years with LN compared to 44% of healthy peers ages 50–59 years. A multivariable analysis showed a 3‐fold higher odds of renal arteriosclerosis in patients ages ≥30 years with LN. LN chronicity on biopsy results predicted a 4‐fold higher odds of renal arteriosclerosis. The overreads determined that 50% of standard LN biopsy reports missed reporting the presence or absence of renal arteriosclerosis.ConclusionRenal arteriosclerosis is accelerated by 2 decades in patients with LN compared to their healthy peers and is overlooked by pathologists in half of the routine biopsy reports. We propose incorporating Banff renal arteriosclerosis grading in all LN biopsy reports.

ObjectiveProvide state‐level estimates of the number of physically inactive adults in the United States with arthritis and other rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) who could improve their anxiety and depression by exercising.MethodsUtilizing 1) number‐needed‐to treat (NNT) data from two prior meta‐analyses of randomized controlled trials addressing the effects of exercise on anxiety and depression in adults with arthritis and other RMDs, 2) recent state‐level prevalence estimates on arthritis and physical inactivity in adults with arthritis and other RMDs, and 3) state‐level 2010 US Census population data, the number of physically inactive adults with arthritis and other RMDs who could improve their anxiety and depression by exercising was estimated.ResultsAcross all states and the District of Columbia, the number of adults with arthritis and other RMDs who could improve their anxiety and depression by starting an exercise program was estimated at 3 433 167 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3 171 000‐3 703 522) for anxiety and 2 942 706 (95% CI = 2 718 000‐3 174 438) for depression. For anxiety, numbers ranged from 3677 (95% CI = 3235‐4154) in the District of Columbia to 271 253 (95% CI = 243 998‐298 508) in Texas. For depression, numbers ranged from 3151 (95% CI = 2773‐3561) in the District of Columbia to 232 502 (95% CI = 209 140‐255 863) in Texas.ConclusionThese state‐specific data suggest that a large number of physically inactive US adults with arthritis and other RMDs could improve their anxiety and depression by starting and maintaining a regular exercise program.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThis paper systematically compares the gas sensing properties of organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) based on patterned 5,11‐bis(triethylsilylethynyl)anthradithiophene (TES‐ADT) films, by adopting TES‐ADT crystal arrays of various shapes and dimensions. The patterning and crystallization of spin‐cast TES‐ADT layers are achieved by the use of a solvent‐containing engraved polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold. Decreasing width of the TES‐ADT pattern enhances gas sensing performance, as well as field‐effect mobility of OFETs. The decreased grain boundary density at narrower line width contributes to the increase of field‐effect mobility. On the other hand, the increased sensing performance is mainly due to the increased area of crystal edges, which provides a diffusion pathway for gas molecules to arrive at the semiconductor‐dielectric interface. This study provides new perspectives on the diffusion pathway of gas molecules in OFET‐based gas sensor, and will be useful for the design of active channel to boost the gas sensing properties of OFETs.

Published: January 2020

AbstractPolaritons in 2D materials exhibit extensive optical phenomena, such as an ultrahigh field confinement and tunability and, thus, have been attracting increasing attentions. Many different methods have been developed to characterize and manipulate polaritons, which in turn has promoted a steady booming of this field. Here, the significant progress made in probing polaritons in 2D materials based on the characterization method, i.e., optical far‐field, optical near‐field, and (opto)electronic methods is reviewed. Perspectives on the potential development and applications of these methods are also discussed.
