Nominalization in Kakua and the Vaupés influence
Authors: Bolaños Katherine 
Published: March 2018

AbstractIn this paper I present the types of nominalization in Kakua, a language spoken by a group of hunter-gatherer peoples from the small Kakua-Nukakan family, inhabitants of the Vaupés area in eastern Colombia. I argue that the nominalization strategies in Kakua have developed from a traceable typical Kakua-Nukakan strategy, into a more Vaupés-like profile of expressing nominalizations, where Kakua had added more nominalization strategies in order for the language to adapt to the types of nominalizations found in many of Kakua’s neighboring languages in the Vaupés area. For this, I will first give a description of the nominalization strategies in Kakua, to later compare them to the nominalization strategies in Nukak, Kakua’s sister language spoken outside of the Vaupés area. The paper concludes with a comparison of nominalization in Kakua and the nominalization strategies found in the surrounding languages.
How to copy your neighbors’ ways: A cross-generational perspective on nominalizations in Tariana
Authors: Aikhenvald Alexandra Y. 
Published: March 2018

AbstractTariana, an endangered Arawak language of north-western Amazonia (Brazil), has a number of strategies for nominalizing verbs. These include noun classifiers as word-class changing derivational markers, in addition a number of nominalizing suffixes. Nominalizations are a subclass of nouns, with their own set of special properties. As a consequence of areal diffusion from the neighboring and unrelated East-Tucanoan languages, Tariana nominalizations come to be used as complementation and relativization strategies. This is especially so for innovative speakers of Tariana who use Tucano on a daily basis, and whose language bears a strong imprint of Tucano, the main language of the region.

Background and Purpose:
Orthostatic hypotension (OH), a blood pressure drop after postural change, is a highly prevalent and disabling syndrome in older adults. Yet, the association between physical performance and OH is not clearly established. The aim of this study was to determine whether different types of physical performance are associated with OH in a clinically relevant population of geriatric outpatients.

Methods:
This cross-sectional study included 280 geriatric outpatients (mean age: 82.2 years, standard deviation: 7.1). Orthostatic hypotension was determined using intermittently measured blood pressure and continuously measured blood pressure in a random subgroup of 58 patients. Physical performance was classified into a dynamic type (4-m Walk Test, Chair Stand Test, and Timed Up and Go test) and a static type (standing balance tests, handgrip strength). Associations were analyzed using logistic regression models with adjustments for age, sex, weight, and height.

Results:
Diminished physical performance on the Chair Stand Test was associated with OH measured intermittently. Diminished physical performance on all dynamic physical domains (4-m Walk Test, Chair Stand Test, and Timed Up and Go test) was associated with OH measured continuously. Static physical performance was not significantly associated with OH.

Conclusion:
Dynamic physical performance tests with a substantial postural change and center of mass displacement were significantly associated with OH. The influence of physical performance on OH in daily routine activities should be further explored to establish counteracting interventions.

Published: March 2018

OBJECTIVE: This article presents a case of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH) treated by diode laser surgery, as well as a review of the literature about this pathology.CASE DESCRIPTION: A 55-year-old woman was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, School of Dentistry, complaining of a discomfort on swallowing due to a soft-tissue mass in the oral cavity that had been developing for approximately 3 years. Intraoral examination revealed multiple exophytic, pedunculated lesions with a smooth surface and pinkish in color, affecting almost the entire right cheek mucosa. The lesion turned out to be a IFH by histopatology. Surgical removal of IFH of the oral mucosa using a diode laser was performed. The lesion was removed in 3 sessions. The patient reported no local symptoms after each irradiation. The clinical appearance 10 months after the last irradiation session demonstrated complete healing and no signals of recurrence.CONCLUSION: Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that diode laser radiation contributes significantly to the advancement of oral surgery and should be considered a valuable resource for the treatment of soft-tissue lesions in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial action of calcium hypochlorite [Ca(OCl)2] at concentrations of 2.5% and 6%, and of grape seed extract (GSE) at concentrations of 10%, 30%, and 50%, against Enterococcus faecalis, comparing it to the action of 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).METHODS: Saline solution was used as negative control. The inhibition halos of microbial growth were verified by the agar disk diffusion method. Twelve Petri plates were used for seeding with culture medium of approximately 5 mm in thickness. In each plate, 5 disks of pure and sterile antibiogram, soaked in the substances to be tested, were used and taken to the plate containing the seededbacterial strain. The plates remained in aerobic bacteriological incubator for 24 h at 37°C temperature. After 24 h, the inhibition halos were measured with a digital caliper. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used for statistical analysis followed by Tukey's complementary test, at 5% significance.RESULTS: The 6% Ca(ClO)2 presented inhibition halo statistically higher than the other solutions (p<0.05), followed by 2.5% Ca(ClO)2, which was statistically similar to 6% NaOCl (p>0.05). The GSE concentrations resulted in lower inhibition halos of active substances and the different concentrations were similar to each other. Lastly, saline solution presented the same inhibition halos in all groups (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: It may be concluded that 6% Ca(OCl)2 presented higher antimicrobial activity than 6% NaOCl. On the other hand, all GSE concentrations were lower than NaOCl and Ca(OCl)2.
Criaturas de papel: a construção de duas personagens de Arthur Schnitzler
Authors: Wertheimer Ana Maria 
Published: March 2018

Este artigo analisa os recursos utilizados por Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) para a compor a obra Senhorita Else (1924). Os diálogos, as cartas e o monólogo interior contam (ou mostram) a história da bonita jovem que tem nas mãos o destino da família endividada: Else vê-se pressionada a ceder ao pedido do inescrupuloso Sr. von Dorsday para obter o dinheiro que evitará a prisão do pai. Com base no estudo sobre a construção da personagem apresentado por Beth Brait (2006) e nas considerações acerca do fluxo de consciência feitas pelo crítico francês Michel Zéraffa (2010), para quem Schnitzler foi um dos autênticos precursores de Joyce e Faulkner, é feita uma comparação entre Else e o tenente Wilhelm Kasda, protagonista da novela Aurora (1926), obra posterior do mesmo autor.
O vazio da cidade e os afetos dos lugares em Poema sujo de Ferreira Gullar
Authors: Dos Santos Silvana Maria Pantoja 
Published: March 2018

Este trabalho propõe analisar a relação entre homem e cidade com ênfase nos espaços de referência na obra Poema sujo, de Ferreira Gullar. Para tanto, levamos em conta a distância temporal entre o contexto da cidade provinciana, das vivências do sujeito poético e da urbe, remodelada pelo progresso. Nessa conjuntura, a cidade passara a ser marcada pela visão fragmentada e por formas diferentes de convivência: os fios da rede de relações ancorados no espírito coletivo se desprenderam, gerando, no contexto urbano, desenraizamento, perda de referência, individualização e esfacelamento da memória. É nesse contexto de fluidez, de valorização do efêmero, cuja regra é a rapidez e tudo parece descartável, que a cidade se molda. As rupturas se desdobram em desmedidos deslocamentos, lacunas e desamparos.

Background: Plasma enriched in growth factors is widely used in medical practice. However, the clinical efficacy of its application in the treatment of age-related retinal integrity violations is investigated insufficiently. Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of autologous plasma enriched with platelet lysate for treating age-related macular degeneration. Materials and methods: A three-port subtotal transconjunctival vitrectomy was performed and administration of the autologous plasma enriched with platelet lysate was indicated. Autologous plasma enriched with platelet lysate was received from the peripheral blood. We assessed visual acuity, intraocular pressure; conducted optical coherent tomography examination of the eye on the side of the pathological process. Results: The study demonstrated that the combination of a standard 3-port transconjunctival subtotal vitrectomy followed by tamponade of the gap using the autologous plasma enriched with platelet lysate with the injections of the autologous plasma enriched with platelet lysate in the area of pterygopalatine fossa on the side of the operated eyes statistically significantly promoted recovery of the visual acuity in the early postoperative period (15 days) and late period (90 days) if compared with patients who received only surgical treatment (p≤0.05). Use of the autologous plasma enriched with platelet lysate in the treatment increased the closing rate of the tearing of the retina in the macular region up to 62,5%, while only surgical treatment leads to the closure of the defect of the retina in 37.5% of cases. The study showed that autologous plasma enriched with platelet lysate contains cytokines, growth factors, and nitric oxide which are involved in the regeneration/reparation of the retina. Conclusions: Additional administration of the autologous plasma enriched with platelet lysate in the scheme of treatment patients with age-related macular degeneration is accelerating the closure of retinal tears of the eye and improves visual acuity.
Minority Inclusion in Central and Eastern Europe

Published: March 2018

The question of how governments deal with ethnic diversity is fundamental to the future of peace and democracy in Europe. The way this question is articulated and addressed has changed significantly, as European governments and social actors respond to problems of regional security, domestic political contestation, and economic well-being. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the collaborative efforts of European organizations – primarily the Council of Europe (CoE), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), and the European Union (EU) – provided a historic opportunity for the development of common European standards about minority inclusion across the whole spectrum of political and economic rights and opportunities available to state majorities. Europeanization – which involved the deepening of transnational institutional structures in member states, the enlargement of the EU to include an increasing number of countries from the former Soviet bloc, and the diffusion of European norms and practices in the EU and its neighbourhood – had a profound impact on the evolution of state-minority relations across the continent. Although Europeanization reaches all aspects of life in EU member and aspiring member states, the governance of ethnic diversity has evolved in diverse directions across the continent, rather than gradually converging toward common standards.
Pattern of dysglycemia among Nigerian adult patients with vitiligo: a 10-year retrospective study
Authors: Amadi Collins , Odum Ehimen P. 
Published: March 2018

Background: The prevalence of dysglycemia among adult patients with vitiligo is higher than the general population. However, data is scarce in our region regarding this hypothesis. This study was to define the pattern of dysglycemia in adult Nigerian patients with vitiligo.Methods: The study was conducted retrospectively among vitiligo patients who visited the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2016. The laboratory characteristics of this patients were evaluated. Data collected irrespective of vitiligo variant were age, sex, and fasting plasma glucose concentrations. Shapiro-Wilk test, descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and two-sample t-test were used for analysis. The level of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: There were a total of 160 vitiligo patients consisting of 55 (34.4%) males and 105 (65.6%) females. The overall patients mean age was 35±1.9 years (range 19 -61 years). The mean fasting plasma glucose concentration was 5.3±1.1mmol/l. Impaired fasting plasma glucose was detected in 41(26.6%) subjects with female dominance (female 61.0% versus male 39.0%). Diabetes mellitus was documented in 6 (3.8%) subjects with no sex difference (female 50% versus male 50%).Conclusions: Dysglycemia is frequent in vitiligo patients. Screening for dysglycemia should be incorporated into the management protocol of patients with vitiligo.
Renin angiotensin system and pulmonary hemodynamics in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: Chauhan Preeti , Chetiwal Rajesh 
Published: March 2018

Background: Pulmonary hypertension in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to chronic alveolar hypoxia is probably the main contributor to the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension in COPD. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor in renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), it has been shown to promote growth response in vascular smooth muscle cell contributing towards pulmonary hypertension. So, the Echocardiographicaliy measured MPAP and its correlation with RAAS in patients of COPD was evaluated.Methods: A prospective observational study was done in 32 patients with COPD and 10 age matched healthy, non-smoker subject included as controls. Stable patients requiring no change in their medication in the previous four weeks and not having had an acute exacerbation in that period were included. MPAP was calculated. Measurement of Ang II and aldosterone was done.Results: Thirty-two cases of COPD, meeting inclusion criteria were enrolled comprising of 32 males and the mean age of patients ±2sd was (55.6 ±16.8), while mean age of controls ± 2sd was 49.60 ±5.56. Arterial blood gas analysis, PaO2 was ranged from (mean±2sd 75.44±12.1), PaCo2 ranged from (mean ±2sd 41.36±3.79) and SpO2 ranged from (mean±2sd 94.03 2±.74). Mean ±2sd of plasma Ang II in COPD cases was (4.9±3.8) ng/dl, significantly higher in comparison with controls (p < 0.001). Mean ±2sd of plasma ACE activity was (51.12±26.9) in COPD. Mean ±2sd of plasma aldosterone was (182.35±364.2) in COPD cases with significant (p<0.01). The MPAP in COPD cases was (mean±2sd 34.53±7.70).Conclusions: Use of Doppler has the advantage of being noninvasive and has been shown to be extremely reproducible in evaluation of MPAP and CO. The increased level of Ang II with increase MPAP in the present study would suggest that this may be a suitable model for investigating effects of novel vasodilator drugs for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension developed due to COPD.

Published: March 2018

Background: Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the cardiovascular complications. Poor compliance is assumed to be an important explanation for inadequate blood pressure control, convincing evidence for the same is lacking. This study was undertaken to provide such evidence, so that corrective measures can be recommended to attain better BP control. The aims and objectives of the study were to study compliance pattern and side effects of anti-hypertensive drugs among the known hypertensive patients; to study role of different factors that influence the compliance rate such as age, number of medications, frequency and follow-up visits of antihypertensive medication.Methods: A total of 207 hypertensive patients were identified from the family folders maintained in the Urban Health Centre, RMMCH and included in the investigation. During first visits, socio-demographic, drug intake history was taken. Follow up was done every two months and thus totally six visits were completed.Results: Socio demographic factors like age, marital status, literacy, occupation and income have no role on the compliance status. Sex has significant association with the compliance level (86.1%), where males have 93.4% and females 82.7% compliance (p<0.05). BMI, exercise, smoking and alcohol, Type of the drug, doses frequency, combination therapy and regularity in refilling the prescription, have no association with compliance status. Frequency of clinical visits has significant association with compliance (visit fortnightly, monthly and occasionally is 94.1%, 85.1% and 75% respectively) p<0.05. Significant improvement (73.1%) improvement in compliance in the VI visit is seen among non-compliers from I visit (p<0.001).Conclusions: Simple once a day regimen and visits of the health provider improves the compliance and good blood pressure control.
Diseño e implementación del sistema de diagnóstico de fallos usando redes de petri interpretadas y coloreadas
Authors: Murillo-Soto Luis Diego 
Published: March 2018

Este trabajo muestra el diseño e implementación de un sistema de diagnóstico de fallos para un sistema hidráulico que presenta simetría en su diseño. El sistema de diagnóstico utiliza los comandos del controlador y las señales de los sensores para diagnosticar once fallos individuales o algunas combinaciones. El trabajo expone la metodología para diseñar el diagnosticador, la cual consiste de ocho etapas que buscan la extracción de información del modelo base del sistema hidráulico. Como modelo base se utiliza una red de Petri interpretada para discretizar por eventos el sistema. Por otra parte, el modelo del diagnosticador se deriva en un nuevo tipo de red de Petri coloreada que permite que esta sea independiente del controlador del sistema hidráulico lo que implica que pueda ser implementado en un computador externo y realizar diagnósticos en tiempo real; en este caso la implementación del diagnosticador fue realizada con el lenguaje LabView de NI. Una característica del diagnosticador es que su modelo permite ser escalado sin mayor esfuerzo a sistemas de gran tamaño que presentan simetría en su estructura, ya que cada nuevo subsistema que se incorpora al sistema original no altera el diseño del diagnosticador. Tampoco altera las matrices ni vectores utilizados, pues el nuevo subsistema se incorpora como “colores” o copias del subsistema base seleccionado.
