Introdução: A presença de silício no organismo é um fator importante para a produção de colágeno, e sua carência está associada à diminuição da resistência periférica nas paredes dos vasos sanguíneos, pela perda de sua elasticidade, assim, influenciando na derme e tecidos adjacentes. Objetivo: Avaliar a presença de silício na composição dos alimentos e na suplementação oral. Material e Método: Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica nas bases de dados em saúde MEDLINE, LILACS e SCIELO, utilizando os descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): dieta, suplementos nutricionais, silício nos idiomas português e inglês, considerando o período de junho 2010 a junho 2020. Resultados: Foram encontrados 34 estudos, 11 foram incluídos e 23 excluídos por não atenderem os critérios de elegibilidade. De acordo com a literatura observou-se que este composto está mais presente em alimentos de origem vegetal do que os de origem animal e que a sua reposição se mostra essencial quando se trata de envelhecimento da epiderme atuando na pele, cabelos e unhas. Conclusão: Os resultados desta revisão descreveram que o silício está presente em diversos alimentos e disponível em suplementação oral, podendo ser usado na prevenção do envelhecimento da pele. Entretanto, mais ensaios clínicos randomizados são necessários para avaliar a relação do consumo de alimentos fonte de silício com o aumento da síntese de colágeno e outros benefícios à saúde.

Inmigración, fronteras y 'raza' en América Latina (siglos XIX y XX)
Authors: Pagnotta Chiara 
Published: September 2020

Entre las novedades que la modernidad trajo consigo hay dos fenómenos estrictamente ligados y que caracterizaron la época: la definición de las fronteras de los Estados y la individualización de los actores sociales. Los vínculos anteriores -ya fueran familiares, locales o religiosos- se disolvieron, dando al individuo una libertad nunca antes vista. Esta se ejemplificó tanto en las migraciones masivas que tuvieron lugar a finales del siglo XIX como en la progresiva búsqueda de nuevas cohesiones sociales por parte de los individuos y, asimismo, por parte de los Estados, que trataron de establecer las filiaciones de los individuos en el interior de sus fronteras.

Like Mother, Like Daughter?
This article scrutinises local-national linkage in Belgium to better understand territorial power relations in multilevel parties. Drawing on a survey of local chairs of national parties, it adopts an innovative, informal and bottom-up approach. The descriptive analysis reveals two central axes in the morphology of linkage: scope (downward support and upward influence) and surplus (benefits versus costs). However, (the valuation of) this interdependence appears as a matter of degree. The explanatory analysis therefore probes into the effect of macro- (between environments), meso- (between parties) and micro- (within parties) level factors. It demonstrates that variance is explained by different parameters. For scope, differences between parties trump those within them. For surplus, specific differences between parties as well as within them matter. The answer to our guiding question is therefore variegated: it depends on for what and for whom.

Getting Party Activists on Local Lists
This article examines what explains the performance of Dutch local party branches in the recruitment of candidates for municipal councils. Fielding a list of candidates is the most basic function of political parties. In the Netherlands, party branches are under pressure from the low number of party members. To analyse how branches fulfil their role in recruitment, we employ our own survey of the secretaries of party branches held in the run-up to the 2018 municipal election. We find that party membership drives the successful fulfilment of the recruitment function but that, more than the absolute number of members, the crucial factors are how these party members cooperate, the number of active members and the development of this number.

Who’s keeping an eye on them? Changes in monitoring during emerging adulthood
In this study we examine whether parental monitoring remains a protective factor in the lives of emerging adults, as well as the extent to which monitoring in other settings replaces the protective role of the parents. We use data collected for the TransAM project, a longitudinal survey of 970 emerging adults (18-24 years) to examine monitoring in a range of different contexts using an instrument based on Stattin and Kerr’s parental monitoring scale (2000). Results indicate that whilst parental control plays a protective role in the first years of emerging adulthood, we find no evidence that monitoring in other settings replaces the protective role of parents. However, monitoring of the self, i.e., self-control, has an increasingly strong relationship with delinquency during emerging adulthood.

Om å tre inn som en feil i samtalen
Authors: Oliv Myhr Rannveig 
Published: September 2020

I denne artikkelen drøfter jeg hvordan det kan være utfordrende for elever å skulle gi et språklig uttrykk for en religiøs tro i de sivile offentlige samtaler i skolen og hvordan det i sammenheng med det kan tolkes som en demokratisk handling å trekke seg ut av samtaler i skolen. Jeg benytter meg i artikkelen av eksempel på troserfaringer hentet fra skjønnlitteratur og essays for å billedliggjøre noen av de utfordringer elever med en religiøs tro kan stå overfor i skolens offentlige samtaler hvis religiøse troserfaringer skal språkliggjøres.

Lumican promotes joint fibrosis through TGF‐β signaling
Authors: Xiao Dahai , Liang Tangzhao , Zhuang Ze , He Ronghan , Ren Jianhua , Jiang Shihai , Zhu Lei , Wang Kun , Shi Dehai 
Published: September 2020

Joint contracture (also known as arthrofibrosis) is a fibrotic joint disorder characterized by excessive collagen production to form fibrotic scar tissue and adhesions within joint capsules. This can severely affect day‐to‐day activities and quality of life because of a restricted range of motion in affected joints. The precise pathogenic mechanism underlying joint contractures is not fully understood. Lumican belongs to the class II small leucine‐rich repeat proteoglycan superfamily, which makes up collagen fibrils in the extracellular matrix. Lumican is ubiquitously expressed in the skin, liver, heart, uterus and articular cartilage and has reported roles in cell migration, proliferation, angiogenesis and Toll‐like receptor 4 signaling. Previous research has suggested that lumican is involved in the pathogenesis of several fibrotic diseases. Because joint contracture resembles a fibrotic disease, we aimed to investigate the role of lumican in the development of joint contracture in vitro. Here, we showed that protein levels were up‐regulated in the fibrotic joint capsule versus control. We observed that lumican significantly enhanced the proliferation, migration and fibroblast–myofibroblast transition of synovial fibroblasts. Moreover, lumican led to increased transcription of alpha‐smooth muscle actin, matrix metallopeptidase 9, Collagen I, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and transforming growth factor‐β in vitro. Lumican treatment promoted collagen lattice contraction in a dose‐dependent manner as early as 24 h after treatment. Thus, our studies reveal that lumican could promote fibroblast–myofibroblast transition and joint contracture.
