Published: May 2018

Uma gravidez sem consumo de tabaco traduz-se em mais saúde para a mãe e para a criança. A vigilância de gravidez assegura a identificação atempada de fatores de risco e a possibilidade de uma assistência pré-natal precoce que previna complicações. O enfermeiro assume-se como um profissional de charneira na promoção de saúde e prevenção de complicações no acompanhamento da mulher/casal ao longo da gravidez e na consciencialização da importância de adoção de estilos de vida saudáveis. Objetivo: Identificar os determinantes do consumo de tabaco e vigilância da gravidez. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, transversal, descritivo e correlacional, com uma amostra de 3232 mulheres que foram mães. O estudo foi realizado em 32 maternidades/hospitais com maternidade, de Norte a Sul de Portugal, no serviço de obstetrícia/internamento de puérperas, entre os anos de 2010 e 2012. O instrumento de colheita de dados foi o questionário que permitiu a caracterização sociodemográfica da amostra com uma idade média das mulheres de 28,75 anos (dp=±5,463 anos), 78,2% de nacionalidade portuguesa e 21,8% estrangeiras. Foram assegurados os procedimentos éticos, e o estudo teve a autorização da Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados para além dos pareceres favoráveis das Comissões de ética das instituições envolvidas. Os dados foram tratados com o programa SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) versão 24 para Windows.Resultados: A mulher que vive com companheiro, e que não planeou a gravidez tem maior probabilidade de vigilância adequada de gravidez e não consumir tabaco durante a gravidez. Por outro lado, o local de residência em meio rural, mulher com formação profissional superior ou formação técnica, que não exerce uma profissão, que teve problemas de saúde durante a gravidez e que não efetuou preparação para o parto apresenta menor probabilidade de não vigiar a gravidez e consumir tabaco. Conclusão: A vigilância adequada de gravidez assegura a identificação atempada de fatores de risco como o consumo de tabaco e a possibilidade de uma sensibilização atempada da mulher/casal para uma gravidez sem tabaco e para a prevenção de complicações.

Abstract
Different species of microalgae are highly efficient in removing nutrients from wastewater streams and are able to grow using flue gas as a CO2 source. These features indicate that application of microalgae has a promising outlook in wastewater treatment. However, practical aspects and process of integration of algae cultivation into an existing wastewater treatment line have not been investigated. The Climate-KIC co-funded Microalgae Biorefinery 2.0 project developed and demonstrated this integration process through a case study. The purpose of this paper is to introduce this process by phases and protocols, as well as report on the challenges and bottlenecks identified in the case study. These standardized technical protocols detailed in the paper help to assess different aspects of integration including biological aspects such as strain selection, as well as economic and environmental impacts. This process is necessary to guide wastewater treatment plants through the integration of algae cultivation, as unfavourable parameters of the different wastewater related feedstock streams need specific attention and management. In order to obtain compelling designs, more emphasis needs to be put on the engineering aspects of integration. Well-designed integration can lead to operational cost saving and proper feedstock treatment enabling algae growth.

Abstract
The analysis of microscopic fungi collection created at theDurmishidze Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology revealed 107 strains assimilating 2,4,6-TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) belonging to the different fungal genera. The strains have been isolated from the polluted areas adjacent to the military grounds and industrial waste waters. It has been shown TNT is degraded most actively by strains belonging to the following genera: Trichoderma, Aspergillus, Mucor and Trichoderma. Optimal cultivation conditions for highly active strains -the destructors of TNT have been revealed. It has been established that the carbon skeleton of TNT being utilized by the mentioned strains undergoes biotransformation. The existence of radioactive intermediates of biotransformation, organic acids (70-90%) and amino acids (10-30%) have been detected in liquid culture. Radioactive label of 1-14C-TNT is mostly found in fumaric acid, which is known as one of the main products of benzene biotransformation and further conversion into succinic acid. Remediation level of TNT-contaminated red and black soils treated by the most active strains Aspergillus nigerN2-2 and Mucor sp. T1-1 have been studied under laboratory and field conditions. Cultivation of the above mentioned strains under laboratory conditions in sterile, black and red soils for 30 days at 30°C allowed decreasing the content of TNT in black soil to the residual, and in red soil - to 15%; cultivation of Aspergillus niger N2-2 decreased the amount of TNT in black soil to 11 and in red soil - to 21%. Under field conditions, TNT degradation level in contaminated soils by naturally existing micro flora during 100 days was equal to 40-50%, and in the case of additional introduction of both fungal strains, TNT-destructors reached 80%.

Abstract
Agmatine has been functionally characterized as an important hormone and co-neurotransmitter in mammals. Given its ability in binding Imidazoline sites, a regolatory site of monoaminoxydase, it has been suggested to be involved in many neurological aspects. However, its inhibitory effect on this enzyme still remains an unanswered question. This present study is aimed to asses whether different experimental conditions could affect the agmatine action on monoaminoxydase activity. We demonstrate that the monoaminoxydase inhibition by agmatine is obtained under alkaline conditions and a long time of incubation. No inhibitiory action was found for shorter times of reaction at elevated pH, or at neutral condition and long time of incubation. No inhibition was also detected by substituting the monoamineoxydase substrate tyramine with kynuramine, however, while in these conditions a remarkable inhibition was shown by two aminoxydase inhibitors tranylcypromine and idazoxan. Herein, we discuss a mechanism model and the functional consequences of agmatine action on monoaminoxydase.

El presente trabajo busca describir los síntomas de los niños diagnosticados con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) que forman parte de la base de datos de la Asociación Esperanza para el Autismo (EPA), antes y después de una dieta libre de gluten y caseína. Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo, descriptivo, de corte transverso, con muestreo no probabilistico de casos consecutivos, en el que se analizaron 15 niños y niñas con TEA, de una edad promedio de 8 años. Además se revisaron las fichas clínicas y entrevistaron a las madres de los niños para obtener datos sobre las características demográficas, los antecedentes familiares, el tiempo de realización de la dieta libre de gluten y caseína, así como la sintomatologia y los hábitos alimentarios antes y después de realizar esta dieta. Se notó que sólo dos de los 15 niños analizados no continúan realizando la dieta libre de gluten y caseína, debido a una mejoría total en los síntomas. Todos los niños realizaron cambios en los hábitos alimentarios en los distintos momentos de alimentación diaria. De la totalidad de los niños evaluados, un 33% (n=5) ha quedado sin síntoma alguno. Los síntomas característicos de los niños estudiados antes de la implementación de la dieta libre de gluten y caseína, se encuentran en cantidades superiores comparando con los síntomas remanentes luego de la realización de la misma. Con esto se puede evidenciar la necesidad de mayores investigaciones para considerar esta dieta como una alternativa de tratamiento en los TEA.

Authors: Romero de Velázquez Sanie , Molinas Santana Graciela 
Published: May 2018

El trabajo de indagación se embarcó en el proyecto de Diseño y Atención a las Oportunidades de Género en la Educación Superior, liderado por la Universidad de Alicante (España). El objetivo se centró en diagnosticar situación de género y las políticas de abordaje de igualdad de oportunidades que se identifican en la organización de la Universidad Iberoamericana. Para recabar información se recurrió, en primer lugar, al análisis documental de los datos estadísticos para obtener una descripción demográfica de la organización y, en segundo lugar, a entrevistas a directivos y docentes de la institución para obtener datos sobre la identificación de las políticas de igualdad de oportunidad de género en la institución. Como resultado se ha podido comprobar que la organización cuenta con mayoría de mujeres en todos los estamentos que la conforman; en cuanto a las políticas se comprobó que las mismas están invisibilizadas en abordajes particulares y requieren ser formalizadas en los documentos institucionales. El análisis y discusión de los resultados ha permitido concluir en que se requiere identificar como un problema la igualdad de oportunidades, dado que la condición de contar con la mayoría de mujeres en la organización puede estar incidiendo significativamente en esta situación por lo que convendría realizar una investigación sobre la representación que las mujeres de la universidad tienen sobre el abordaje de género y su relación con la atención a las oportunidades en la Educación Superior.
A Novel Fully Differential Second Generation Current Conveyor and Its Application as a Very High CMRR Instrumentation Amplifier
Authors: Ahmadi Soma , Azhari Seyed Javad 
Published: May 2018

This paper aims to introduce a novel Fully Differential second generation Current Conveyor (FDCCII) and its application to design a novel Low Power (LP), very high CMRR, and wide bandwidth (BW) Current Mode Instrumentation Amplifier (CMIA). In the proposed application, CMRR, as the most important feature, has been greatly improved by using both common mode feed forward (CMFF) and common mode feedback (CMFB) techniques, which are verified by a perfect circuit analysis. As another unique quality, it neither needs well-matched active blocks nor matched resistors but inherently improves CMRR, BW, and power consumption hence gains an excellent matchless choice for integration. The FDCCII has been designed using 0.18 um TSMC CMOS Technology with ±1.2 V supply voltages. The simulation of the proposed FDCCII and CMIA have been done in HSPICE LEVEL 49. Simulation results for the proposed CMIA are as follow: Voltage CMRR of 216 dB, voltage CMRR BW of 300 Hz. Intrinsic resistance of X-terminals is only 45 Ω and the power dissipation is 383.4 μW. Most favourably, it shows a constant differential voltage gain BW of 18.1 MHz for variable gains (here ranging from 0 dB to 45.7 dB for example) removing the bottleneck of constant gain-BW product of Voltage mode circuits.

Published: May 2018

Ефективність фінансово-господарської діяльності підприємства неможлива без проведення заходів реалізації інноваційної діяльності. Аналіз інноваційної діяльності підприємства вимагає системного підходу, який можливий при залученні відповідного оцінно-аналітичного інструментарію. Зокрема, взаємодія елементів інноваційного потенціалу підприємства може характеризуватися показниками еластичності, рентабельності, сприйнятливості, активності.
Мета статті – розроблення методичного забезпечення аналізу та оцінки інноваційної діяльності підприємств,що враховує системну взаємодію елементів інноваційної діяльності.
У статті доповнено сукупність показників аналізу інноваційної діяльності показником синергійної взаємодії елементів інноваційної системи підприємства й на цій основі сформовано методику оцінки та аналізу інноваційної діяльності підприємства, яка враховує синергійну взаємодію й нелінійність інноваційних процесів. Розроблено сценарні варіанти синергійної взаємодії та запропоновано відповідні їм інноваційні стратегії.Запропонована методика дає змогу виявити й задіяти в розвитку інноваційної діяльності управлінські та організаційні чинники. Їх використання завжди збільшується в умовах економічної кризи, оскільки ефект від організаційно-управлінських інновацій (системний ефект) може бути досить високим при порівняно низьких витратах на їх здійснення. Тому їх актуальність в умовах сучасної кризи зростає, як і їх роль у підтримціінноваційної діяльності при скороченні інвестицій, що зумовлено кризою.
