Published: April 2018

Objetivo. El objetivo de este estudio pasa por evaluar el efecto del-Terracottem- en la actividad microbiana del suelo mediante la medida de la respiración edáfica y la pérdida de nitrógeno mineral por lixiviación. El ensayo se ha realizado en condiciones de laboratorio controladas y con suelos naturales. Materiales y metodos. Para el experimento, se han diseñado varios tratamientos: i) suelos naturales a los que se les ha adicionado compuestos nitrogenados de libre disponibilidad (Kg N ha-1); ii) suelos naturales a los que se les ha adicionado carbohidratos de libre disponibilidad (1% de solución de glucosa); iii) suelos naturales a los que se les ha adicionado una mezcla de compuestos nitrogenados de libre disponibilidad (Kg N ha-1) con carbohidratos (1% de solución de glucosa). En cada variante se han testeado diferentes dosis del polímero. Resultados. Los resultados han demostrado que la actividad respiratoria del suelo es independiente de la disponibilidad de compuestos como el nitrógeno o carbono. Tampoco se han observado diferencias significativas entre las diferentes dosis del polímero. Por el contrario, si se observaron diferencias en la producción de CO2. Conclusiones. La lixiviación únicamente se producía cuando los suelos era enmendado con compuestos únicamente nitrogenados o únicamente sólo carbonosos.

A crise financeira de 2008 resultou em um quadro de taxas de juros de curto prazo próximas de zero e levou vários países a adotarem políticas monetárias não convencionais com a finalidade de estabilizar o sistema financeiro e sustentar o nível da atividade econômica. Embora o objetivo do programa de compra de títulos, denominado como quantitative easing (QE), iniciado pelo Federal Reserve (Banco Central dos Estados Unidos), fosse estimular a atividade econômica interna, seu efeito externalidade foi sentido pelos países emergentes que observaram uma elevação no fluxo de capital externo, um aumento na procura por ativos e uma apreciação da moeda nacional. Dado este contexto, o presente estudo avalia se o QE afetou a volatilidade do índice Ibovespa, do câmbio, do riscopaís, da taxa de juros dos Estados Unidos e do índice de renda fixa. Para tanto, utiliza-se de técnicas de estudos de eventos e modelos autorregressivos e generalizados autorregressivos heteroscedásticos para verificar o comportamento das variáveis consideradas. Os resultados encontrados indicam que o QE alterou a volatilidade dos ativos em alguns períodos analisados e seu início/fim modificou os retornos dos ativos.

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION A 10-week-old 0.73-kg (1.6-lb) castrated male domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) was referred for exploratory laparotomy because of pneumoperitoneum and possible septic peritonitis after being bitten by the owner's dog.
CLINICAL FINDINGS Abdominal exploration revealed a large laceration of the duodenum, tears of the jejunal mesentery, and 2 small tears in the abdominal wall. Chylous abdominal effusion developed 48 hours after surgery.
TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Postoperative care included supportive treatment, analgesia, and antimicrobials. An abdominal drain was placed during the laparotomy and enabled monitoring of abdominal fluid production. Enteral feeding was provided through an esophagostomy tube. The chylous fluid production rapidly decreased after treatment with octreotide was initiated, and the ferret improved. Chyloabdomen resolved after 8 days of hospitalization and medical treatment.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE Findings suggested that chylous ascites can potentially develop secondary to blunt abdominal trauma in ferrets. In this ferret, chyloabdomen was successfully treated with octreotide administration and abdominal drainage.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to prepare a mosapride citrate-resin (Amberlite® IRP 88) complex and orally fast-disintegrating tablets of the resin complex. The resinate complex of mosapride-Amberlite® IRP 88, mass ratio 2:1, was prepared in an ethanol-water solution. The effects of alcohol concentration, temperature, and pH of the solution on complex formation were evaluated. The complex physicochemical properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Orally disintegrating tablets were prepared by direct compression and were optimized using the response surface method. Optimized orally fast-disintegrating tablets disintegrated within 18 s. The pH dependence of mosapride release from the tablet decreased drug dissolution in simulated saliva, whereas it promptly released in the pH 1.0 solution. The data reported herein clearly demonstrate that tablets containing the mosapride-Amberlite® IRP 88 complex for oral disintegration could be particularly useful for patients with swallowing difficulties.
Modern Services: Terminological Considerations and the Characteristic Features of Their Role in Socio-Economic Development
Authors: Dominiak Joanna 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Services, the staple of the modern economy, are subject to constant changes. These changes are contingent on economic processes that are the result of, inter alia, technological progress, intensifying globalisation processes and growing competitiveness. Increasingly important are specialised services, where staff with high qualifications are employed. Such services include dynamically developing knowledge-based ones. Their growth has been fostered by the increasing demand for modern services in the era of the development of a knowledge-based economy.
This article focuses on the terminology related to modern services and seeks to answer questions about their role in the development of modern economies. The aim of the article is: (1) to identify modern services in the light of relevant literature; (2) to attempt to construct a model of the impact of those services on economic development; (3) to analyse the level of development of modern services in the EU member states, and (4) to empirically verify the model of the impact of the services on economic development in the EU member states. The empirical analysis was carried out with the application of statistical data from the Eurostat database.
Democracy and information: the null vote and its misconception in Brazil / Democracia e informação: o voto nulo no Brasil
Authors: Silva Adriana Campos , Dos Santos Polianna Pereira , De Barcelos Júlia Rocha 
Published: April 2018

Abstract: This study intends to analyze a common misconception regarding null votes in Brazil, by which electors may end up basing themselves on false premises to second their electoral choices. It uses social media, official elections data and historical legislation, in order to better understand the origin of the misconception and its effects on the legitimacy of democracy. In Brazil, it is possible that an elector abstains from voting, votes blank or null, or votes for a candidate or party. The first three of these behaviors are defined here as “electoral indifference”. In these cases, the democratic principle requires that the voter is aware of the potential effects of his choice. Information is therefore essential, for the ability to intervene in political decisions and the extension of that ability to the widest range of adults are criteria for democracy that can only be reached through enlightened understanding.Resumo: Este estudo pretende analisar um equívoco comum, relacionado a votos nulos no Brasil, em razão do qual eleitores podem acabar se baseando em premissas falsas para fundamentar suas escolhas eleitorais. Utiliza-se de mídias sociais, dados oficiais de eleições e legislação histórica para melhor entender a origem desse equívoco e seus efeitos na legitimidade da democracia. No Brasil é possível que um eleitor se abstenha de votar, vote branco ou nulo, ou vote em um candidato ou partido. Os três primeiros desses comportamentos podem ser definidos como alheamento eleitoral. Nesses casos, o princípio democrático exige que o eleitor esteja ciente dos efeitos potenciais de sua escolha. A informação é, assim, essencial, uma vez que a habilidade de intervir em decisões políticas e a extensão desta habilidade ao maior número de adultos são critérios para a democracia que só podem ser alcançados por meio do entendimento esclarecido.
Kurt Vonnegut's “Homage to Santa Rosalia”: The “Patroness of Evolutionary Studies” and Galapagos
Authors: Marshall Ian 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Though critics have noted the evolutionary themes in Kurt Vonnegut's Galapagos, none has discussed the name Vonnegut gave to the fictional island where most of the novel's action takes place: Santa Rosalia. Since Vonnegut had been reading up on evolutionary ideas while writing the novel, it seems likely that his source for the name was ecologist G. Evelyn Hutchinson's famous 1959 article, “Homage to Santa Rosalia: Or Why Are There So Many Kinds of Animals?” In a study of water bugs in a spring below a cave on Mount Pellegrino where Saint Rosalia's bones had been found in the seventeenth century, Hutchinson established ecological principles regarding speciation, ecological niches, and biodiversity, and he expressed prescient concerns about human impacts on the natural world. These concerns all surface in Galapagos. Of particular interest to Vonnegut must have been Hutchinson's designation of Saint Rosalia as the “patroness of evolutionary studies.”
The Appeal of the Primal Leader: Human Evolution and Donald J. Trump
Authors: McAdams Dan P. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Drawing on the distinction between dominance and prestige as two evolutionarily grounded strategies for attaining status in human groups, this essay examines an underappreciated feature of Donald Trump's appeal to the millions of American voters who elected him president in 2016—his uncanny ability to channel primal dominance. Like the alpha male of a chimpanzee colony, Trump leads (and inspires) through intimidation, bluster, and threat, and through the establishment of short-term, opportunistic relationships with other high-status agents. Whereas domain-specific expertise confers status in the prestige paradigm, dominant leaders derogate expertise in order to establish a direct, authoritarian connection to their constituency. Trump's leadership style derives readily from his personality makeup, which entails a combustible temperament mixture of high extraversion and low agreeableness, a motivational agenda centered on extreme narcissism, and an internalized life story that tracks the exploits of an intrepid warrior who must forever fight to win in a Hobbesian world of carnage.
Drawings of Representational Images by Upper Paleolithic Humans and their Absence in Neanderthals Reflect Historical Differences in Hunting Wary Game
Authors: Coss Richard G. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractOne characteristic of the transition from the Middle Paleolithic to the Upper Paleolithic in Europe was the emergence of representational charcoal drawings and engravings by Aurignacian and Gravettian artists. European Neanderthals never engaged in representational drawing during the Middle and Early Upper Paleolithic, a property that might reflect less developed visuomotor coordination. This article postulates a causal relationship between an evolved ability of anatomically modern humans to throw spears accurately while hunting and their ability to draw representational images from working memory. Unlike Neanderthals, archaic and anatomically modern humans in sub-Saharan Africa adopted longer-range hunting practices using hand-cast spears as a compensation for the emergence of increasingly wary game. For Neanderthals, paleoclimatic fluctuations likely precluded consistent hunting of cold-adapted game, a property making game more approachable for close-range hunting with thrusting spears. As evidence of less historical wariness of humans, many of the species hunted by Neanderthals were eventually domesticated. Due to strong sources of natural selection on archaic and anatomically modern humans for effective hunting, the parietal cortex that integrates visual imagery and motor coordination expanded progressively, yielding the globular shape of the human cranium that is not evident in Neanderthals. To characterize how the cognitive properties employed for throwing spears and drawing line work are similar, the Upper Paleolithic drawings of animals in Chauvet cave, France, are discussed in the speculative context of how these artists engaged simultaneously in overt attention to guide their hand movements and covert attention to their mental images during the drawing process.
Movement is the Song of the Body: Reflections on the Evolution of Rhythm and Music and its Possible Significance for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Meehan Adrian D. , Abbott Benjamin W. , Larsson Matz 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Schooling fish, swarms of starlings, plodding wildebeest, and musicians all display impressive synchronization. To what extent do they use acoustic cues to achieve these feats? Could the acoustic cues used in movement synchronization be relevant to the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) in humans? In this article, we build on the emerging view in evolutionary biology that the ability to synchronize movement evolved long before language, in part due to acoustic advantages. We use this insight to explore potential mechanisms that explain why music therapy has beneficial effects for PD patients. We hypothesize that rhythmic auditory cues, particularly music, can stimulate neuronal and behavioral processes that ease the symptoms and potentially the causes of PD because the neural circuits used in auditory entrainment at individual and group levels are associated with dopamine production. We summarize current treatment of PD and outline how new insights from an evolutionary perspective could improve understanding and eventual treatment of movement disorders in humans.
