Mercurial Metastatic Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Case of Colonic Involvement
Authors: Liu Margaret C. , Ahmed Shifat , Mehta Shivang 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a neuroendocrine skin cancer that typically presents as a painless erythematous nodule on body surfaces visible to the sun. Metastatic disease is typical to the lymph nodes, liver, and lungs. There are previous case reports of patients with metastases to the gastrointestinal tract including the stomach, small intestine, and pancreas. To our knowledge, there are only rare occurrences of metastases to the colon. We report a patient with a history of MCC treated with chemotherapy who presented with hematochezia and underwent a colonoscopy that showed a partially obstructing, edematous, friable 7-cm circumferential mass in the transverse colon. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of MCC that metastasized to the transverse colon.
Determinação de dimensões mínimas para simbologia de cartas topográficas urbanas
Authors: Castro Mônica Cristina , Robbi Sluter Claudia 
Published: June 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é definir critérios para o estabelecimento de dimensões mínimas para a padronização da simbologia de cartas topográficas urbanas. Este trabalho faz parte de uma de pesquisa cuja finalidade é propor e validar métodos para a produção de cartas topográficas por generalização cartográfica automatizada no Brasil. Para automatizar este processo é necessário o conhecimento de dimensões mínimas de tamanho e distância para definir e identificar problemas de representação. As cartas topográficas no Estado do Paraná são produzidas na escala 1:2.000 e, quando há necessidade, cartas em escalas menores podem ser produzidas pela redução de escala e pela seleção de feições. Como consequência, tem-se produtos cartográficos com problemas de representação. A aplicação da generalização cartográfica pode assegurar a legibilidade dessas cartas. Há uma proposta de padronização da simbologia para as cartas topográficas na escala 1.2.000, de áreas urbanas do estado do Paraná, porém não há recomendações de como abordar a simbologia quando a produção ocorre por generalização cartográfica. Para isso foi necessário desenvolver testes de percepção visual de tamanhos mínimos para símbolos coloridos condizentes com a simbologia proposta para feições de edificações, limites de propriedade e vias urbanas. Os resultados mostram que não há valores mínimos universais para tamanho e distância na cartografia topográfica, pois a percepção visual é influenciada pelas diferentes cores dos símbolos.
Las prácticas de enseñanza de los profesores noveles en el nivel secundario
Authors: Rosso Irma , Olivieri Ricardo 
Published: June 2019

Se sintetizan los resultados de una investigación orientada hacia el análisis de la práctica profesional, en cuanto al conocimiento de la disciplina y las formas de seleccionar los contenidos y estrategias para enseñar, que manejan los profesores principiantes. A partir de las observaciones y las narrativas docentes se detectó que la primera problemática que preocupa a los principiantes (en un 100% de las encuestas) consistía en las relaciones con los alumnos. En un segundo momento surgían las cuestiones relacionadas con la enseñanza. El foco específico del análisis sobre “la relación entre el conocimiento de la asignatura y las formas de seleccionar los contenidos para enseñar” se observó la coherencia entre ambos; además en las entrevistas destacaron (en un 100%) la excelente formación académica recibida, lo que les facilita la formulación de objetivos. Un problema recurrente que se detectó y se manifestó como un obstáculo dificil de solucionar es la confección de las planificaciones y secuencias didácticas, porque cada institución educativa establece disposiciones precisas que difieren de un establecimiento a otro, a pesar de las directivas del ministerio público provincial. En cuanto a las estrategias didácticas¸ se observó la preocupación de los novatos por implementar innovaciones en las clases con el uso de TIC, aunque con limitaciones, también recurren a prácticas tradicionales modificadas en formato de juegos y confección de actividades de entretenimiento.
Interpelando a los Diseños Curriculares de la NES (CABA). Una aproximación a la Formación Superior en el ISP Joaquín V. González
Authors: Merel Ignacio 
Published: June 2019

El presente trabajo tiene la intención de abordar el análisis de los diseños curriculares vinculados a la Nueva Escuela Secundaria (NES) para el distrito Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, sus propuestas historiográficas, sus tensiones, sus objetivos generales y específicos que se expresan en su contenido. Los Diseños Curriculares a analizarse, Diseño Curricular General y Diseño Curricular Orientado del Bachillerato en Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades, están aplicándose en todos los establecimientos educativos del ámbito de la CABA este año. Sin embargo en este trabajo se analizarán los contenidos de la Historia Argentina durante los siglos XIX y XX, abarcando el análisis de los años superiores. Esta reforma educativa, tanto de contenidos como de tiempo destinado a los mismos (horas cátedra) en algunos casos se presenta como un desafío al interior de los Institutos de Formación Superior. En este punto radica el segundo eje a abordar ya que los actores escolares encargados de poner en la práctica la NES y sus modificaciones curriculares en el ámbito de la CABA son los docentes. Respecto de la formación docente y la relación con los contenidos NES se tomará a modo de muestra como institución formadora al Instituto Superior del Profesorado Dr. Joaquín V. González de la CABA. El trabajo se pretende armar desde los dos ejes mencionados anteriormente 1) Los Diseños Curriculares y 2) La Formación Docente.

Beneficial Effects of Salt on Halophyte Growth: Morphology, Cells, and Genes
Authors: Yuan Fang , Xu Yanyu , Leng Bingying , Wang Baoshan 
Published: June 2019

AbstractHalophytes can survive and complete their life cycle in the presence of ≥200 mM NaCl. These remarkable plants have developed various strategies to tolerate salinity and thrive in high-salt environments. At the appropriate levels, salt has a beneficial effect on the vegetative growth of halophytes but inhibits the growth of non-halophytes. In recent years, many studies have focused on elucidating the salt-tolerance mechanisms of halophytes at the molecular, physiological, and individual level. In this review, we focus on the mechanisms, from the macroscopic to the molecular, underlying the successful growth of halophytes in saline environments to explain why salt has beneficial effects on halophytes but harmful effects on non-halophytes. These mechanisms include the specialized organs of halophytes (for example, ion compartmentalization in succulent leaves), their unique structures (salt glands and hydrophobic barriers in roots), and their salt-tolerance genes. We hope to shed light on the use of halophytes for engineering salt-tolerant crops, soil conservation, and the protection of freshwater resources in the near future.
The Applicability of Universal Basic Income in Post-Conflict Scenarios: The Syria Case
Authors: Bashur Diana 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Given UBI’s performance in poor and rural areas of India and Namibia and its transformative effects on livelihoods, one can foresee a potential for UBI supporting refugees and Internally Displaced Persons rebuild their lives in their country of origin. Furthermore, given UBI’s egalitarian rationale stemming from the idea of a more just society with a minimum level of economic security to all, UBI can be considered a key element of a state’s welfare system, the relevance of which cannot be overstated for countries emerging from conflict. Additionally, the field of international aid has as of recently, for efficiency considerations, started questioning its policies focused on in-kind aid, vouchers, prescribed spending in favor of cash transfers. To test UBI’s potential in post-conflict scenarios, we propose to examine its applicability in Syria, source of today’s largest refugee population.
The Evolution of Morality Policy Debate: Moralization and Demoralization
Authors: Kreitzer Rebecca J. , Kane Kellen A. , Mooney Christopher Z. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Scholars of morality policy have built an extensive literature surrounding these issues, which often are associated with unusual political behavior. Early studies aimed at explaining this behavior but avoided defining a “morality policy” explicitly, typically by focusing on issues that appeared obviously to pertain to morality, like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights. Drawing on the existing morality policy scholarship and classic theories of public policy, we argue that no public policy is inherently moral. Rather, policies may be “moralized” or “demoralized” over time, not due to any intrinsic characteristic, but because the prominent policy frames in their debate have changed. Public opinion and its proxies, along with certain exogenous shocks, may be important in determining when a morality frame will be more prevalent. Because the distinctiveness of morality policy lies in the discourse surrounding it, scholars should examine the behavior and attitudes of relevant advocates in these debates, rather than relying on aggregate data and making assumptions about intrinsic policy characteristics.
Moral Conviction and Immigration Attitudes in America
Authors: McDonald Maura , Ryan Timothy J. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractPast work finds that political attitudes vary in the extent to which they are held withmoral conviction– a distinctive facet of attitude intensity associated with animosity toward political opponents and resistance to compromise. We examine moral conviction as it arises on a timely political issue: immigration. Our approach is distinctive in that we measure attitudes about immigration in general, but also several subcomponents of the issue (e.g. attitudes toward building a border wall and making English the official language of the US). We find that attention to moral conviction reveals a face of public opinion that other measures do not. Opinions on the conservative side of immigration topics tend to be more strongly held and more consistent across issues. But those with opinions on the liberal side of the issue exhibit greater moral conviction, suggesting that they might be easier to mobilize and more resistant to compromise. We also assess the extent to which morally convicted attitudes can be traced to specific values and aspects of socialization.
The German Statutory Minimum Wage and Its Effects on Regional Employment and Unemployment
Authors: Bonin Holger , Isphording Ingo E. , Krause-Pilatus Annabelle , Lichter Andreas , Pestel Nico , Rinne Ulf 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThis paper studies the effects of the introduction of Germany’s statutory minimum wage in 2015 on employment and unemployment on the level of regional labor markets. Using variation in the regional exposure to the new wage floor, we employ a difference-in-differences approach that compares the evolution of employment and unemployment between regions with varying minimum wage bites. Overall, we find no statistically significant effect of the introduction of the German minimum wage on regular employment subject to social insurance, but a statistically significant negative effect on marginal employment. The reduction is not accompanied by a proportional increase in unemployment.
Bivariate representation and conjugacy class zeta functions associated to unipotent group schemes, I: Arithmetic properties
Authors: Macedo Lins de Araujo Paula 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This is the first of two papers in which we introduce and study two bivariate zeta functions associated to unipotent group schemes over rings of integers of number fields.
One of these zeta functions encodes the numbers of isomorphism classes of irreducible complex representations of finite dimensions of
congruence quotients of the associated group and the other one encodes the numbers of conjugacy classes of each size of such quotients.
In this paper, we show that these zeta functions satisfy Euler factorizations and almost all of their Euler factors are rational and satisfy functional equations.
Moreover, we show that such bivariate zeta functions specialize to (univariate) class number zeta functions.
In case of nilpotency class 2, bivariate representation zeta functions also specialize to (univariate) twist representation zeta functions.

Niveles de actividad física y su relación entre la distribución por sexo y programa académico en una universidad
Authors: Puerta Mateus Keily Catherine , De La Rosa Luna Regis , Ramos Vivanco Ana Matilde 
Published: June 2019

El objetivo del estudio[1] fue relacionar los niveles de actividad física identificados en estudiantes universitarios con su género y el programa académico al cual pertenece. La metodología de corte transversal con diseño de muestreo aleatorio simple estratificado sin remplazamiento, con tamaño de muestra de 329 personas, se evaluaron por encuesta probabilística mediante el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física versión corta. Se utilizó el programa de Excel para la tabulación de los datos y el software estadístico R-project, para obtener gráficos BoxPlot, y prueba Chi2, asimismo el análisis de correspondencias para la representación de datos multivariados. Los resultados fueron que el 65,7 % del estudiantado se encuentra en un nivel bajo, el 19,8 % en moderado, 14,6 % en alto. La prevalencia de niveles bajos en hombre fue de 55.6 % y en mujeres de 70.6 %. Estadísticamente, el nivel de actividad física depende del género del estudiante (p<0,05) obteniendo menor nivel las mujeres. El nivel de actividad física depende también del programa de pregrado que curse el estudiante (p<0,05), adquiriendo mayores niveles, los que estudian Licenciatura en Educación Física. En conclusión, la mayor parte del estudiantado universitario se encuentra en el margen de sedentarismo, con mayor prevalencia en mujeres y programas académicos con pocas prácticas de movimiento humano, por esta razón se sugiere incentivar estrategias que promuevan la realización de actividad física regular. Independientemente de que existan programas como fisioterapia, cuyo objeto de estudio este enfocado al movimiento humano.

Analysis of sport science perceptions and research needs among South African coaches
Authors: Kubayi A , Coopoo Y , Toriola A 
Published: June 2019

Background: There appears to be a gap between coaches’ expectations concerning their needs and the focus of research findings published by sport scientists. Given the important role of sport science in enhancing athletic performance, closing the gap between sport scientists and coaches is expedient.
Objectives: To investigate the sport science perceptions and research needs among South African coaches.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional survey design, a total of 202 (28 male and 174 female) purposively recruited South African coaches completed a validated questionnaire.
Results: Findings indicated that “Improving the technique/efficiency of athletes” (4.33±0.79), “Reducing the incidence of injury/illness in athletes” (4.33±0.76), “Helping athletes peak for competition” (4.31±0.86), and “Mental preparation of athletes” (4.26±0.97) were reported as the most preferred areas of research by coaches. The coaches also reported that “There is a need/role for sport science researchers to translate scientific literature into easily understandable language” (3.93±1.03) and “Sport science knowledge is important for me to be a good coach” (3.90±0.98).
Conclusion: These findings have practical implications for sport federations regarding the need to revise their coach education programmes to include sport science concepts which can be applied by coaches to improve sport performance.
