Authors: Fischer Félix Diego Rehbein , Soares Valéria Deluca 
Published: August 2018

A presente pesquisa objetiva verificar a influência do visual merchandising e do vitrinismo no comportamento de compra do consumidor, no segmento do varejo de moda, em shopping centres da cidade de Porto Alegre. Para tal, os procedimentos metodológicosutilizados estão pautados na pesquisa exploratória, em uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Para a coleta de dados, definiu-sepela pesquisa bibliográfica e pela aplicação de um questionário, em uma amostragem não probabilística por conveniência, compostapor indivíduos de ambos os sexos, entre 18 e 55 anos, que realizam compras no segmento varejista de moda, em shoppings centerslocalizados na cidade de Porto Alegre. A partir da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo, verificou-se que as decisões de compra são influenciadaspela correta elaboração de uma vitrine e pela aplicação das técnicas de visual merchandising no estabelecimento comercial. Viu-se que a vitrine é uma ferramenta de atração de clientes para uma loja, além de um diferencial competitivo. Pode-se inferir que a forma como os produtos são alocados no interior da mesma induz à compra, despertando no consumidor uma sensação de necessidade ou vantagem, que faz com que ele adquira itens que não tinha a intenção de comprar.

Abstract

Background
Primary care physicians (PCPs) are well placed to provide holistic care to survivors of childhood cancer and may relieve growing pressures on specialist-led follow-up. We evaluated PCPs' role and confidence in providing follow-up care to survivors of childhood cancer.

Subjects, Materials, and Methods
In Stage 1, survivors and parents (of young survivors) from 11 Australian and New Zealand hospitals completed interviews about their PCPs' role in their follow-up. Participants nominated their PCP for an interview for Stage 2. In Stage 2, PCPs completed interviews about their confidence and preparedness in delivering childhood cancer survivorship care.

Results
Stage 1: One hundred twenty survivors (36% male, mean age: 25.6 years) and parents of young survivors (58% male survivors, survivors' mean age: 12.7 years) completed interviews. Few survivors (23%) and parents (10%) visited their PCP for cancer-related care and reported similar reasons for not seeking PCP-led follow-up including low confidence in PCPs (48%), low perceived PCP cancer knowledge (38%), and difficulty finding good/regular PCPs (31%). Participants indicated feeling "disconnected" from their PCP during their cancer treatment phase. Stage 2: Fifty-one PCPs (57% male, mean years practicing: 28.3) completed interviews. Fifty percent of PCPs reported feeling confident providing care to childhood cancer survivors. PCPs had high unmet information needs relating to survivors' late effects risks (94%) and preferred a highly prescriptive approach to improve their confidence delivering survivorship care.

Conclusion
Improved communication and greater PCP involvement during treatment/early survivorship may help overcome survivors' and parents' low confidence in PCPs. PCPs are willing but require clear guidance from tertiary providers.

Abstract

Objectives
Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are standard for symptomatic patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). However, most patients experience tachyphylaxis, and limited options exist for this so-called “refractory carcinoid syndrome.” Recently, 5-HT3 antagonist ondansetron has been associated with reduction of bowel movement in a small series. The aim of this analysis was to assess effectiveness of ondansetron for symptomatic treatment of carcinoid syndrome.

Design and Patients
We have analyzed patients given ondansetron as bridging therapy for refractory carcinoid syndrome. The dose was 2 × 8 mg for 5 days, followed by reduction to 1 × 8 mg in case of benefit.

Results
A total of 14 patients with small bowel NETs metastatic to the liver were identified. All patients had been treated with SSAs for a median time of 18 months before aggravation of diarrhea. One patient had to be excluded because of an underlying infectious cause of diarrhea. The median number of daily bowel movements was 7 (range, 5–13) before initiation of therapy. At this time, seven patients had stable disease, whereas six patients showed radiological progression with symptomatic breakthrough. All 13 patients were scheduled for salvage therapy. Remarkably, in 85% (11/13) ondansetron resulted in a clinically relevant decrease of bowel movements to a median of 3 (1–4). The median time of ondansetron intake was 29 days (7 days to 29 months). In four patients, diarrhea recurred after initial improvement at an interval of 22–43 days, whereas the remaining seven had an ongoing benefit, including two long-term responders who refused further therapy because of pronounced decrease of symptoms (ondansetron for 14+ and 29+ months).

Conclusion
Ondansetron offers symptomatic relief in the majority of patients. Although there was no influence on 5-HIAA levels, evidence from two patients suggests prolonged benefit.

Implications for Practice
Somatostatin analogs are standard treatment in patients with carcinoid syndrome and have an overall response rate of up to 50%. This symptomatic benefit, however, is lost in many patients because of the development of tachyphylaxis or tumor progression. Patients with this “refractory carcinoid syndrome” pose a therapeutic challenge and are sometimes faced with a detrimental effect on quality of life. In this article, the authors suggest the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron as potential symptomatic therapy for patients with refractory diarrhea due to carcinoid syndrome. Although the number of patients in this retrospective series is limited, treatment was easily applicable, feasible, and safe and resulted in an ongoing symptomatic benefit in 85% of patients, including two long-term responders.
First ground-based observations of sprites over southern Africa
Authors: Nnadih Stanislaus , Kosch Mike , Martinez Peter , Bor Jozsef 
Published: August 2018

Sprites are the optical signatures of electrical discharges in the mesosphere triggered by large lightning strikes associated with thunderstorms. Since their discovery in the late 1980s, sprites have been observed extensively around the world, although very few observations of sprites from Africa have been documented in the literature. In this paper, we report the first ground-based recorded observations of sprites from South Africa. In 2 out of the 22 nights of observations (11 January and 2 February 2016), about 100 sprite elements were recorded from Sutherland in the Northern Cape, comprising different morphologies (carrot (55%), carrot/column (11%), unclassified (21%), column (13%)). The sprites were triggered by positive cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, which had an average peak value of ~74 kA and were observed at distances from ~400 km to 800 km. The estimated charge moment change of the lightning discharges associated with these events was in agreement with the threshold for dielectric breakdown of the mesosphere and correlates well with the observed sprite brightness.
Significance:

The first ground-based recording of sprite events over southern Africa.
It is suggested that the intensity of the events is proportional to the lightning stroke current.
Monthly average daily solar radiation simulation in northern KwaZulu-Natal: A physical approach
Authors: Kibirige Betty 
Published: August 2018

Solar energy is a poorly tapped energy source in northern KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) and many locations in the region have no available measured solar radiation data. Unfortunately, these areas are among the rural, non-commercial farming areas in South Africa that need to harness solar radiation as an alternative energy source for their needs. These communities are mostly disadvantaged and unable to access the currently sophisticated approaches available for the prediction of such data. For this reason, a modelling tool accessible to these communities has been created using data from the South African Sugarcane Research Institute at eight stations in the region. This article presents the physical approach which can be used within readily available resources such as Microsoft Excel to develop a simulation environment that can predict monthly daily average solar radiation at locations. A preliminary model was later customised by considering the physical condition at each individual location. The validated tool provides estimations with a percentage root mean square error (%RMSE) of less than 1% for all locations except for Nkwaleni which had 1.645%. This is an extremely promising estimation process as compared to other methods that achieve estimations with %RMSE of above 10%. The simulation environment developed here is being extended to predict the performance of solar photovoltaic systems in the region. Using data from other sources, the approach is also being extended to other regions in South Africa.
Significance:

The study modifies the physical approach that is deemed complicated to something that can be accessible to many communities.
The accuracies achieved with this approach (<0.9%RMSE) in the considered region are commendable.
The approach can be extended to other regions in South Africa.

Published: August 2018

Reforzar y profundizar los estudios en ecosocioeconomías es el objetivo principal del texto. Para ello se retoman trabajos y postulados propuestos por Sampaio (2010) y se refuerzan argumentos primero desde la dimensión ecológica y su relación con la socioeconomía, en un segundo momento se argumenta desde la economía y su relación con la socioecológia y en un tercer momento se relaciona la dimensión social con las interacciones con la economía y el ambiente. El estudio se basa en investigaciones bibliográficas, análisis en base a experiencias brasileñas y extranjeras que vienen siendo investigadas por un equipo interdisciplinar. Se propone que la ecosocioeconomía está mucho más cerca del buen vivir. Lo que se puede extraer del esfuerzo realizado en este texto es que las Ecosocioeconomías ocurren en parte por el escenario ecosocioeconómico contemporáneo desolador que enfrentamos como humanidad.

Published: August 2018

Esta pesquisa investiga o turismo nas comunidades de Ponta Grossa, Redonda, Requenguela e Tremembé, no município de Icapuí-CE, com histórico de participação popular e elevado nível de politização. São comunidades tradicionais que produzem artesanalmente embarcações e artefatos de pesca, utensílios que famílias utilizam no litoral, e desenvolvem turismo alternativo. Constituídas de grupos de pescadores de lagosta que enfrentam o desafio de fiscalização do litoral para evitar a pesca predatória, destacam-se pelas belezas naturais, patrimônio histórico e cultural, assim, o lugar recebe fluxos de turistas de vários lugares. Busca-se compreender transformações das comunidades de Ponta Grossa, Redonda, Requenguela e Tremembé com a chegada da atividade turística que transforma as comunidades, ao passarem a ser núcleos receptores do turismo, áreas de segundas residências, com implicações no desenvolvimento socioespacial de Icapuí. Observa-se que, apesar de as comunidades sentirem-se excluídas de ações políticas municipais, mantêm-se organizadas e produtivas.

Ringkasan Perakitan tanaman perkebunan toleran terhadap serangan cendawan patogenik dilakukan dengan mengoverekspresikan gen penyandi kitinase. Untuk itu elemen DNA peningkat ekspresi (enhancer E52) yang berupa oligonukleotida 52 pb dan kaya kandungan basa purin (GC) disisipkan di ujung 5’ konstruk 35S-chi. Penyisipan E52 tersebut dilakukan secara lebih terarah pada situs ganda HindIII-SalI dari MCS pCAMBIA2301. Melalui situs HindIII yang terletak tepat di ujung 3’ E52, konstruk 35S-chi kemudian disambungkan dengan E52 pada pCAMBIA tersebut. Transformasi DNA rekombinan ke dalam sel tembakau dikerjakan melalui perantaraan Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. Sel tanaman transgenik diseleksi dan diregenrasi dalam media yang mengandung 3% sukrosa, 0,5 mg/L diregenerasikan pada media MS padat benzilaminopurin (BAP) dan 50 mg/L kanamisin. Pada media ini tunas transgenik tembakau mulai terbentuk setelah 5 minggu penanaman. Analisis tingkat aktivitas enzimatis menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas kitinase pada tembakau transgenik 40 hingga 80 kali lebih tinggi daripada non-transgenik. Pengujian hibridisasi protein menggunakan antibodi anti-kitinase, dot blot dan western blot, membuktikan bahwa enhancer tersebut dapat meningkatkan ekspresi transgen chi pada tanaman tembakau.Summary Development of estate crops tolerant to pathogenic fungi is conducted by overexpressing chi gene. For this purpose, a synthetic enhancer consisting of 52 base pairs and GC-rich was inserted at immediate 5’ end of a 35S-chi cassette. Insertion of the E52 was directed at HindIII-SalI restriction sites of the pCAMBIA2301 MCS. With HindIII restriction site located just after the 3’ end of the E52 sequence, the 35S-chi construct was then ligated with the E52 of the pCAMBIA. Transformation of the resulting recombinant DNA into tobacco cells was mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. The transgenic cells were selected and regenerated on a solid MS medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 0.5 mg/L benzylamino purine (BAP) and 50 mg/L kanamycin. Tobacco shoots were initiated after 5 weeks inoculation on the selection media. Enzymatic analysis demonstrated that chitinase activity of transgenic tobacco was 40 to 80 folds higher than that of the control plant. Analysis of enzymatic activity using hybridization with anti-chitinase antibody indicated that the level of chitinase activity in the transgenic tobacco carrying the enhancer is higher than that without enhancer. These data suggest that the enhancer improved the expression of chi transgene in tobacco.
Prevalence of Rift Valley Fever Virus in Febrile Malaria Patients using Serological and Molecular-based Evidence

Published: August 2018

Abstract
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic virus classified as category A priority pathogen. Rift Valley fever (RVF) has been poorly investigated in Nigeria with the infection among Nigerians last reported in 1996. Two hundred (200) febrile subjects with symptoms of malaria attending local hospitals in Ilorin, Nigeria were investigated for malaria, malaria positive subjects were investigated for the presence of RVF. Malaria screening was done using Carestart
TM malaria HRP2(pf), while RVF antibodies were tested for using anti-RVF IgM ELISA. Molecular identification of the viral genome was carried out using RNA extraction (QIAGEN) and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Of the 200 subjects tested for malaria infection, 93 (46.5%) were positive, while 20 (21.5%) of the 93 subjects were seropositive for RVF. RVF virus genome was found in 5 (25%) of the 20 positive subjects. The high prevalence of RVF among malaria positive subjects show that there is a risk of a RVF outbreak if its prevalence remains unchecked.
