Clinical Observation of Electroencephalographic Changes and Risk of Convulsion Occurrence in Children Receiving Neural Precursor Cell Transplantation
Authors: Qu Suqing , Liu Weipeng , Yang Hui , Wang Zhaoyan , Yang Yinxiang , Liu Fang , Sharma Aruna , Sharma Hari , Luan Zuo 
Published: April 2018

Purpose: This study was intended to observe electroencephalographic (EEG) changes and
convulsion attacks in children receiving neural precursor cell transplantation, and to explore the possibility
of electrophysiological changes and risk of convulsion occurrence after cell transplantation.

Method:
228 children were included in this study who received neural precursor cell transplantation
in our hospital between March 2008 and July 2012. No history of convulsion attacks was elicited before
cell transplantation. Data about EEG change and convulsion occurrence before and after cell
transplantation were analyzed statistically.

Results:
Of the 228 pediatric patients, EEG improvement, deterioration and no significant change
were observed in 60, 45 and 122 patients, respectively. One month after transplantation, four (1.76%)
patients experienced new convulsions. Of the 227 patients, 25 showed increased and/or abnormal discharges
on EEG. Of these, 19 underwent EEG re-examination six months post-operation. Except the
convulsive cases mentioned above, there were no new cases of convulsions in the remaining patients.
Of the 27 patients including those with abnormal discharge, increased discharge and convulsion attacks,
17 achieved varying degrees of therapeutic efficacy.

Conclusion:
Intraventricular transplantation of neural precursor cells is associated with EEG changes
in some children and clinical convulsion attacks in individual patients. However, these abnormal
changes do not last long and usually return to normal levels within 1-6 months after surgery, along
with disappearance of convulsions. Simultaneous occurrence of EEG changes and convulsions do not
appear to affect therapeutic efficacy.
The Prevalence of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis Among Malaysian Type 2 Diabetic Patients Using Quantitative Ultrasound Densitometer
Authors: Abdulameer Shaymaa Abdalwahed , Sahib Mohanad Naji , Sulaiman Syed Azhar Syed 
Published: April 2018

Background:Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and osteoporosis are both chronic conditions and the relationship between them is complex.Objective:The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of Low Bone Mineral density (LBMD,i.e., osteopenia and osteoporosis), as well as, the difference and associations between Quantitative Ultrasound Scan (QUS) parameters with socio-demographic data and clinical related data among T2DM in Penang, Malaysia.Method:An observational, cross-sectional study with a convenient sample of 450 T2DM patients were recruited from the outpatient diabetes clinic at Hospital Pulau Pinang (HPP) to measure Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the heel bone using QUS. In addition, a self-reported structured questionnaire about the socio-demographic data and osteoporosis risk factors were collected. Moreover, the study included the retrospective collection of clinical data from patients’ medical records.Results:The mean value of T-score for normal BMD, osteopenic and osteoporotic patients’ were (-0.41±0.44), (-1.65±0.39) and (-2.76±0.27), respectively. According to QUS measurements, more than three quarters of T2DM patients (82%) were at high risk of abnormal BMD. The results showed that QUS scores were significantly associated with age, gender, menopausal duration, educational level and diabetic related data. Moreover, the QUS parameters and T-scores demonstrated significant negative correlation with age, menopausal duration, diabetic duration and glycaemic control, as well as, a positive correlation with body mass index and waist to hip ratio. The current study revealed that none of the cardiovascular disease risk factors appear to influence the prevalence of low BMD among T2DM Malaysian patients.Conclusion:The study findings revealed that the assessment of T2DM patients’ bone health and related factor are essential and future educational programs are crucial to improve osteoporosis management.
Moral Foundations, Political Orientation and Religiosity In Italy
Authors: Di Battista Silvia , Pivetti Monica , Berti Chiara 
Published: April 2018

Background:This study investigates the role of political orientation and religiosity in Italy for moral foundations endorsement, in light of Haidt and Graham’sMoral Foundations Theory. This theory hypothesizes that moral systems are based on five dimensions (i.e.,Harm/care, Fairness/reciprocity, Ingroup/loyalty, Authority/respect, and Purity/sanctity) that, in turn, can be grouped into two broader dimensions (BindingandIndividualizing).Objective:We aim to explore and extend the moral foundation assumptions to the Italian context predicting greater endorsement of binding values among Italian Right-wingers as compared with Left-wingers. Given that the relations between politics and Catholic Church have always been intertwined in modern Italy, we also extend this line of inquiry by examining the role of religiosity.Method:Two hundred and forty-eight Italian participants filled out a self-report measure including theMoral Foundations Questionnaires.Results: Individuals attach considerable relevance to individualizing moral foundations rather than to binding moral foundations; conservatives and regular religious attenders attach more relevance to binding moral foundations as compared with individuals with a Left-wing political orientation and less religious people.Conclusions:Our results show that the Italians’ political orientation emerges as a significant element in the differential adoption of moral foundations. Furthermore, considering the historical and fundamental role of the Catholic religion in the Italian society and political life, our results confirm that binding values are particularly valued in groups such as practicing Catholic, where institutions, families, and authorities are valued.
Guanidinyl and Amide Conjugated Benzothiazoles as Potential Anti- Tubercular Agent and their Cytotoxicity Study
Authors: Bhat Mahesh , Belagali S.L. 
Published: April 2018

Background:
Two series of Guanidinyl benzothiazole and benzothiazole diamide derivatives
were synthesized and screened for their anti-mycobacterial activity and cytotoxicity on cancer cell lines.

Methods:

The anti-mycobacterium study indicates that all the synthesized benzothiazole compounds
were appreciably active and some of the compounds have MIC values lower than the standard drugs.
Benzothiazoleguanidinyl derivatives (13a, 13b and 13f) showed the excellent activity with MIC values
1.6 µg/mL. The guanidinyl group and electron donating group present in the molecule interacts with the
microorganism and arrest the further growth, indicating excellent activity by these compounds. These
benzothiazole derivatives were also tested for cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and KB Mouth cell lines by
MTT assay and they were found to be moderately active.

Results:

For the KB-Mouth cell lines, diamide compounds (9a-9h) have remarkable activity and they
showed IC50 values at 10 µg/mL. Compared to benzothiazole diamides, Benzothiazole guanidinyl compounds
selectively acted as a good anti-mycobacterium agent.

Conclusion:

In order to rationalize the in-vitro anti-tuberculosis activity, we carried out molecular
docking studies with enoyl acyl carrier reductase (InhA) of M. tuberculosis and they exhibited remarkable
docking scores from -5.85 to -9.27, which was comparable with the positive control Isoniazid
(INH) with -6.61 as the docking score and showed less affinity towards the DprE1 protiens.

MEMORIAS DE LA VIOLENCIA POLÍTICA EN CHILE: 1970-2014
Authors: Shafir Isabel Piper 
Published: April 2018

En este artículo se reflexiona en torno a las memorias de la violencia política en Chile. Se argumenta que la hegemonización de las memorias de y sobre las víctimas de las violaciones de los derechos humanos ha contribuido a contribuido a invisibilizar otras memorias, de diversos sujetos sociales, que se diferencian de las anteriores y participan también de la construcción del presente. Estas memorias, menos visibles y sin expresión organizada en lo público, inciden en las acciones tanto de individuos como de grupos, ya que a partir de ellas las personas interpretan la realidad, construyen opiniones y toman decisiones frente a las condiciones del presente. Son memorias de menor visibilidad y reconocimiento, que participan del proceso de memorialización de una forma menos clara y precisa, pero que tienen importantes efectos psicológicos, sociales y políticos. Por otro lado, se sostiene que limitar las acciones y políticas de memoria a la reparación de las víctimas y a la reconciliación entre sectores contrapuestos de la sociedad, ha excluido de la discusión pública el debate serio y reflexivo en torno a las violencias políticas ejercidas en democracia, limitándonos a su condena moral y a la defensa de un nunca más que excluye las prácticas actuales.
Entre Cabanas e Diligências: os Fronteiriços na Western Fiction de Bret Harte e Ernest Haycox
Authors: Guazzelli Cesar Augusto Barcellos , Freitas Renata Dal Sasso 
Published: April 2018

Este artigo evidencia como a fronteira americana em seu avanço inexorável para Oeste produziu obras ficcionais muito carregadas de emoção, mesmo passados os tempos épicos dos pioneiros. Mais que isto, elas recriaram os seus dramas fora daquelas paisagens ocupadas pelos grandes rebanhos de gado e seus cowboys, mas justamente nos núcleos civilizatórios que já se haviam instalado no Oeste. A mitologia dos pioneiros mudava para uma realidade menos glamourizada, mas talvez mais verossímil. Assim, o que propomos é uma leitura comparada de dois contos que se reportam ao avanço da fronteira “civilizatória” para o Oeste: The Outcasts of Poker Flat, de Bret Harte, escrita em 1868 (HARTE, 2001)[i] e Stage to Lordsburg, de Ernest Haycox, escrita em 1939.[i] Há uma versão em português (LEWIS, 2004, 22).

Caixa de Ferramentas para uma atitude histórico-crítica na pesquisa-intervenção / Toolbox for a critical attitude in the intervention-research
Authors: Rodrigues Heliana De Barros Conde 
Published: April 2018

O artigo retoma a caixa de ferramentas forjada quando da dissertação de mestrado da autora, na qual o modo foucaultiano de fazer história – a genealogia – é posto em correlação e, principalmente, em contraste com outras formas de historicização (História Positivista, Filosofia da História e Nova História). Tal caixa de ferramentas possui conexões com os procedimentos desnaturalizadores, micropolíticos e desdisciplinarizadores subjacentes à prática da pesquisa-intervenção (ou intervenção institucional); pois tanto na genealogia como na pesquisa-intervenção, a força ético-política do intempestivo – o que estamos em vias de nos tornar – incide sobre o presente e faz com que ele se separe de si mesmo, tornando-se permeável à invenção de modos de vida singulares.
Le tour des frontières. Identités bretonne et française / Following the borders. Briton and french identities
Authors: Chetcuti Yves 
Published: April 2018

L’auteur établit une relation entre l’espace et le temps à partir des rites de circumambulation en Bretagne et en France. Il montre la règle de proportion croissante entre des parcours respectivement effectués en un jour, en un mois ou en deux années et demi. Cette règle révèle comment les distances linéaires sont reliées au comput calendaire des Celtes. Toutefois parcourir les frontières des deux entités territoriales, la Bretagne ou la France, ne suffit pas à forger l’identité de leurs ressortissants. Est-ce du fait de la relation d’emboîtement qui ferait de la Bretagne la partie d’un tout, la France ? Pour résoudre cette dissonance, l’auteur suggère une relation de proportion décroissante entre l’ampleur du référent territorial et le sentiment d’appartenance. La vitesse de parcours des limites paroissiales serait associée à la fréquence cardiaque de repos. Ainsi, la circumambulation des lieux emblématiques de l’identité bretonne est directement reliée à la personne.
Axiomática do capital e instituições: abstratas, concretas e imateriais / Axiomatic of capital and institutions: abstracts, concretes and immaterials
Authors: Hur Domenico Uhng 
Published: April 2018

ResumoA emergência das sociedades de controle trouxe um novo agenciamento que reformulou as formações sociais. O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre as novas configurações das instituições a partir da intensificação da axiomática do capital e do surgimento do diagrama de controle. Realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a obra de Gilles Deleuze e de pensadores contemporâneos. Diferenciamos as instituições abstratas e as instituições concretas para nos referir ao complexo fenômeno das instituições. Discutimos a troca do código pela axiomática do capital enquanto mecanismo predominante de operação social. Esta substituição fez que as instituições tradicionais entrassem num processo de transição a uma nova forma social que denominamos de instituições imateriais. Ao mesmo tempo em que os códigos são descodificados, são reterritorializados a partir da axiomática do capital.Palavras-chave: Análise Institucional; Esquizoanálise; Psicologia Política; Deleuze, Gilles, 1925-1995. AbstractThe emergence of societies of control has brought a new type of assemblage that is reformulating social formations. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on new institutional configurations from the point of view of the intensification of the axiomatics of capital and the emergence of the diagram of control. Through a literature review on the work of Gilles Deleuze and other contemporary thinkers, we differentiate between abstract and concrete institutions to express to the complex phenomenon of institutions. We discuss the replacement of the code by the axiomatics of capital as the predominant mechanism of social operation. This substitution has required traditional institutions to embark on a transitional process towards a new social form which we call immaterial institutions. At the same time that codes are decoded, they are reterritorialized through the axiomatics of capital. Keywords: Institutional Analysis; Schizoanalysis; Political Psychology; Deleuze, Gilles.
EL LUGAR DEL COMBATE A LA CORRUPCIÓN EN LA AGENDA DEL MERCOSUR (2003-2015)
Authors: Granato Leonardo , Gesta Leal Rogério 
Published: April 2018

The study of anti-corruption policies is a relatively new phenomenon in Latin America. Having in mind that the Inter-American and the United Nations Conventions on the combating of corruption, of 1996 and 2003, respectively, establish the need to deepen intergovernmental cooperation in a complementary and convergent manner to national efforts in this regard, this paper proposes a study of the place that the fight against corruption has had on the Mercosur agenda in the period of 2003-2015, and of its expressions related to the institutionality of the bloc.

ASPECTOS POLÊMICOS DA MEDIAÇÃO JUDICIAL BRASILEIRA: UMA ANÁLISE À LUZ DO NOVO CÓDIGO DE PROCESSO CIVIL E DA LEI DA MEDIAÇÃO CONTROVERSIAL ASPECTS OF JUDICIAL MEDIATION IN BRASIL: AN ANALYSIS IN THE LIGHT OF THE NEW BRAZILIAN CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE AND OF THE MEDIATION LAW Karime Silva Siviero* RESUMO: Os debates mais recentes sobre a ineficiência do Judiciário lançaram luz sobre a importância dos meios alternativos de tratamento dos conflitos na administração da Justiça. Com o objetivo de recobrar o passo rumo aos ideais modernos de pacificação social, o legislador brasileiro finalmente normatizou a mediação no novo Código de Processo Civil e na recém-sancionada Lei de Mediação (Lei n.º 13.140/2015). Nessa linha, o presente artigo objetiva abordar as inovações trazidas pelos marcos legais da mediação à luz das exigências intrínsecas do instituto analisado. Tenciona-se demonstrar que a mediação judicial poderá se converter em importante ferramenta de educação dos jurisdicionados para a autonomia cidadã, além de servir de baliza de contenção para o arbítrio dos magistrados na condução dos processos. Não se pretende, obviamente, esgotar a análise de todas as questões relacionadas à institucionalização da mediação, mas apenas lançar luz sobre pontos importantes relacionados ao tema. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Mediação de conflitos. Novo Código de Processo Civil. Lei de Mediação. Acesso à justiça. ABSTRACT: The latest debates on the inefficiency of the judiciary shed light on the importance of the alternative methods of conflict resolution in the administration of justice. In order to recover step towards the modern ideals of social pacification, the Brazilian legislature finally regulated the judicial mediation in the new Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure, as well as in the recently sanctioned Mediation Law (Law no. 13140 / 2015). Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the innovations brought by the legal framework in the light of requirements intrinsic to the analyzed institute. It is intended to demonstrate that judicial mediation may become an important educational tool of the subjected to jurisdiction for citizen autonomy, besides serving as a barrier to the arbitrariness of judges in the conduct of proceedings. It is not intended, obviously, to exhaust the analysis of all issues related to the institutionalization of mediation, but only to shed light on important points related to the theme.

Formalismo, Instrumentalismo e Formalismo-Valorativo

FORMALISMO, INSTRUMENTALISMO E FORMALISMO-VALORATIVO FORMALISM, INSTRUMENTALISM, AND EVALUATIVE FORMALISM Claudio Penedo Madureira* RESUMO: O objetivo deste artigo é induzir a compreensão de que o Código de Processo Civil de 2015 adota as premissas teóricas e as técnicas de atuação propostas pela doutrina jurídica do formalismo-valorativo (tal como concebida pela escola processual gaúcha sob a liderança de Carlos Alberto Alvaro de Oliveira), instituindo, assim, uma nova fase metodológica ao processo civil; que, por sua vez, substituiu o instrumentalismo (doutrina jurídica concebida pela escola processual paulista a partir dos escritos de Cândido Rangel Dinamarco), que teve fundamental importância para o desenvolvimento do Direito Processual Civil Brasileiro, porque possibilitou a superação da chamada fase autonomista, inaugurando, no Brasil, a preocupação de juristas e interpretes (aplicadores) com os resultados do processo; mas que acabou superada pela concepção do novo código de um modelo de processo marcado pela cooperação entre os sujeitos processuais, que se demonstra incompatível com proposta dos instrumentalistas pela atribuição à jurisdição de uma posição central na Teoria do Processo Civil. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Teoria do Processo Civil. Instrumentalismo. Formalismo-Valorativo. Código de Processo Civil de 2015. Escola Processual Gaúcha. Escola Processual Paulista. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to induce the understanding that the 2015 Code of Civil Procedure adopts the theoretical premises and action techniques as proposed by the legal doctrine of evaluative formalism (as conceived by the Procedural School of Rio Grande do Sul under the leadership of Carlos Alberto Alvaro de Oliveira) thereby introducing a new methodological stage to the civil procedure; which, in its turn, replaced instrumentalism (the legal doctrine as conceived by the Procedural School of Sao Paulo from the writings of Candido Rangel Dinamarco), which was of fundamental importance for the development of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Law, because it made possible to overcome the so-called autonomist phase, establishing, in Brazil, the concern of lawyers and interpreters (enforcers) with the results of the case; but it was surpassed by the new code’s conception of a procedural model marked by a cooperation between the parties, which demonstrates to be incompatible with the proposal of the instrumentalists for the allocation of the jurisdiction to a central position in the Theory of Civil Procedure.
