Published: February 2018

Existe a necessidade de se produzir informações para que se possa construir conhecimento a respeito do comportamento das migrações nos últimos anos, pois, de modo geral, os movimentos de população sofreram profundas alterações ao mesmo tempo em que se assistiam importantes transformações na realidade econômica, política e social em parte significativa dos países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento. Assim, torna-se necessário compreender como os deslocamentos populacionais refletem a estrutura e a dinâmica da economia e da sociedade para, com isso, ofertar subsídios para os planejamentos urbano e regional na formulação de novas políticas públicas referentes às exigências de novas dinâmicas espaciais da população. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar o levantamento sobre quais informações, em relação aos fluxos migratórios, são abordadas nos registros das séries históricas dos Censos brasileiros. O estudo, do tipo exploratório/descritivo, foi desenvolvido com base nos dados dos Censos brasileiros realizados pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. A migração da população é um dos principais fenômenos da dinâmica demográfica de uma localidade, mas não obstante a relevância do tema, poucos estudos verificaram os determinantes da migração, isto é, quais características das cidades são relevantes na tomada de decisão do migrante. Nesse sentido, os censos brasileiros trazem relevante contribuição para a compreensão do fenômeno migratório e por consequência fornece importante subsídio para o planejamento estratégico, tanto em relação ao setor público como no setor privado.

O turismo vem se consolidando como importante atividade geradora de renda, principalmente em municípios costeiros (a exemplo de Salinópolis), que se tornou essencial ao meio turístico no Estado do Pará. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar e analisar os fatores determinantes das características naturais e da logística de infraestrutura para a dinamização do turismo na praia do Atalaia, em Salinópolis. Fez-se o cálculo de indicadores de Capacidade de Carga Turística, utilizando o método de Cifuentes (1992), o qual é constituído pela Capacidade de Carga Física (CCF), Capacidade de Carga Real (CCR) e Capacidade de Carga Efetiva (CCE). Dessa forma, obteve-se a determinação do perfil do turista que mais frequenta a praia e a capacidade máxima de visitantes se aproximou de 9.049 usuários/dia, considerando as férias. O conhecimento desse valor se torna instrumento fundamental para auxiliar a gestão da área e incentivar a atividade turística de qualidade com infraestrutura adequada nessa região.
Mar próximo, cidade distante: economia criativa e regeneração urbana em Lisboa e Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Jesus Diego Santos Vieira de 
Published: February 2018

Com base no referencial teórico de Charles Landry e da colaboração do autor com Franco Bianchini, o objetivo do trabalho é explicar os méritos e as limitações de processos de regeneração de territórios urbanos que tiveram como um dos eixos condutores o estímulo ao desenvolvimento da economia criativa: a Zona de Intervenção da Expo, em Lisboa, e a Zona Portuária do Rio de Janeiro. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, com a mobilização de informações qualitativas. Aponta-se que os resultados ficaram aquém do esperado por conta das dificuldades de integração dessas regiões com seus entornos, dos problemas de fixação de profissionais criativos e do baixo estímulo ao engajamento da população local nas principais atividades relacionadas aos setores criativos.

Relief evolution of landslide slopes in the Kamienne Mts (Central Sudetes, Poland) – analysis of a high-resolution DEM from airborne LiDAR
Authors: Osika Aleksandra , Wistuba Małgorzata , Malik Ireneusz 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
The aim of the study is to reconstruct the development of landslide relief in the Kamienne Mountains (Central Sudetes, SW Poland) based on a DEM from LiDAR data. Analyses of relief and geological maps in ArcGIS 10.5 and of slope cross-sections in Surfer 14 allowed to distinguish different types of landslide relief, developed in latites and trachybasalts lying above claystones and mudstones. The types vary from small, poorly visible landslides to vast landslides with complex relief. They were interpreted as consecutive stages of geomorphic evolution of hillslope-valley topography of the study area. Two main schemes have been established which explain the development of landslide slopes in the Kamienne Mts: (1) upslope, from the base of the slope towards the mountain ridge and (2) downslope, beginning on the top of the mountain ridge. The direction of landslide development depends on the thickness of volcanic rocks in relation to underlying sedimentary rocks. When the latter appear only in the lowest part of the slope, landslides develop upslope. If sedimentary rocks dominate on the slope and volcanic rocks form only its uppermost part, landslides develop downslope. The results show that landsliding leads to significant modifications of relief of the study area, including complete degradation of mountain ridges.
In the Jungle of the Unregulated: Towards Extra-Legal Regulatory Approaches in Addressing ‘Cybercrime’
Authors: Appazov Artur 
Published: February 2018

Summary
As the incidence and the cost of cybercrime keeps growing, the traditional legal model based on the command-and-control approach to regulation experiences major difficulties in curbing further inflation of the phenomenon. The article argues that the traditional legal approach that grounds its authority in enforcement is a poor option for regulation of online human interaction. By considering alternative avenues in influencing online behavior – community-, competition-, and design-based regulation – the article suggests reconsideration of our public policies and regulatory approaches to cybercrime. In doing so, the article offers a thorough interdisciplinary reflection on the idiosyncrasies of human interaction in network environments and its psychological implications, concluding that other regulatory powers may present more effective response to the problem of cybercrime. The holistic regulatory regime that the article advocates incorporates and coordinates all regulatory powers that exist in our societies in order to address the underlying cause of cybercrime.

Serratia marcescens Sepsis in a Child with Deep Venous Thrombosis – A Case Report
Authors: Armean Iulia , Duicu Carmen , Aldea Cornel , Melit Lorena 
Published: February 2018

Abstract

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism is a rare condition in paediatrics that included both deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Serratia marcescens is a gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family and tends to affect immunocompromised hosts.

Case report: We report the case of an 11-year-old boy, admitted in the Pediatric Clinic I from Emergency County Hospital Tîrgu Mureș, Romania with intense pain, swelling, cyanosis and claudication of the left foot. His personal history revealed a recent appendectomy. A close family was reported to have had a deep venous thrombosis. The laboratory tests, performed on the day of admission, revealed increased inflammatory biomarkers and D-dimer. Coagulation tests gave a low activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Doppler venous ultrasound and CT-exam established a diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis. Anticoagulant therapy was initiated, but on the tenth day of admission, the patient developed signs and symptoms of sepsis, and the blood culture revealed Serratia marcescens. After antibiotic and anticoagulant therapy, the patient progressed favourably. The patient was a carrier of the heterozygous form of Factor V Leiden.

Conclusions: The association between deep venous thrombosis and Serratia marcescens sepsis can compromise a condition in pediatric patients.
Inverse estimation of soil hydraulic properties and water repellency following artificially induced drought stress

Published: February 2018

Abstract
Global climate change is projected to continue and result in prolonged and more intense droughts, which can increase soil water repellency (SWR). To be able to estimate the consequences of SWR on vadose zone hydrology, it is important to determine soil hydraulic properties (SHP). Sequential modeling using HYDRUS (2D/3D) was performed on an experimental field site with artificially imposed drought scenarios (moderately M and severely S stressed) and a control plot. First, inverse modeling was performed for SHP estimation based on water and ethanol infiltration experimental data, followed by model validation on one selected irrigation event. Finally, hillslope modeling was performed to assess water balance for 2014. Results suggest that prolonged dry periods can increase soil water repellency. Inverse modeling was successfully performed for infiltrating liquids, water and ethanol, with R2
and model efficiency (E) values both > 0.9. SHP derived from the ethanol measurements showed large differences in van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) parameters for the M and S plots compared to water infiltration experiments. SWR resulted in large saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks
) decrease on the M and S scenarios. After validation of SHP on water content measurements during a selected irrigation event, one year simulations (2014) showed that water repellency increases surface runoff in non-structured soils at hillslopes.

Abstract
The paper presents an evaluation of the combined use of the HYDRUS and SWI2 packages for MODFLOW as a potential tool for modeling recharge in coastal aquifers subject to saltwater intrusion. The HYDRUS package for MODFLOW solves numerically the one-dimensional form of the Richards equation describing water flow in variablysaturated media. The code computes groundwater recharge to or capillary rise from the groundwater table while considering weather, vegetation, and soil hydraulic property data. The SWI2 package represents in a simplified way variable-density flow associated with saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. Combining these two packages within the MODFLOW framework provides a more accurate description of vadose zone processes in subsurface systems with shallow aquifers, which strongly depend upon infiltration. The two packages were applied to a two-dimensional problem of recharge of a freshwater lens in a sandy peninsula, which is a typical geomorphologic form along the Baltic and the North Sea coasts, among other places. Results highlighted the sensitivity of calculated recharge rates to the temporal resolution of weather data. Using daily values of precipitation and potential evapotranspiration produced average recharge rates more than 20% larger than those obtained with weekly or monthly averaged weather data, leading to different trends in the evolution of freshwater-saltwater interfaces. Root water uptake significantly influenced both the recharge rate and the position of the freshwater-saltwater interface. The results were less sensitive to changes in soil hydraulic parameters, which in our study were found to affect average yearly recharge rates by up to 13%.

Abstract

Introduction. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as calculated from the white cell differential blood count is a marker that has been used as a prognostic index when assessing patients suffering from several clinical syndromes, including sepsis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between NLR and the commonly used severity scores of sepsis SOFA, APACHE II and SAPS II in a population of emergency admitted adult patients with sepsis in a tertiary center.

Methods. A prospective observational study was conducted in the Emergency Department of the University Hospital of Patras, Greece, based on data extracted from 50 patients consecutively enrolled, suffering from sepsis of multiple origin. The study period was from May 01, 2017 until June 30, 2017. The NLR was calculated from the total white blood cell (WBC) count values measured from a peripheral venous blood specimen drawn on admission. C-reactive protein (CRP) was also measured. The sepsis severity prognostic scores APACHE II, SAPS II and SOFA were calculated for each patient.

Results. NLR was positively correlated with the sepsis severity prognostic scores on admission (SOFA, rs = 0.497, p < 0.001; APACHE II, rs = 0.411, p = 0.003; SAPS II, rs = 0.445, p = 0.001). Total WBC was also significantly correlated with the scores (SOFA, rs = 0.342, p = 0.015; APACHE II, rs = 0.384, p = 0.006; SAPS II, rs = 0.287, p = 0.043). Serum CRP did not show any significant correlation either to NLR or to the sepsis severity scores on admission.

Conclusions. NLR is an easily calculated, cost-efficient index that could be used as a tool for clinicians when assessing sepsis patients in the Emergency Department. Although NLR measurement is simple, and rapidly available, future and larger prospective studies are warranted to confirm its definite value as a prognostic index in sepsis patients.

Authors: Arslan Naime , Kökmen-Aras Seval , Mercan Deniz 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
The relative abundance of D. polymorpha and other benthic macroinvertebrates in lake Büyük Akgöl was studied in 2009, 2012 and 2014. In 2009, the macroinvertebrate fauna consisted of Gastropoda (53.4%), Bivalvia (26.8%), Oligochaeta (12.6%), Chironomidae (5.9%) and other taxonomic groups (Trichoptera, Ceratopogonidae, Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Chaoboridae, and Hirudinea) (1.04%). After three years, Bivalvia and Oligochaeta increased (38.2% and 15.3%, respectively), whereas the other groups (in particular, Gastropoda and Chironomidae) were found to decrease (41.4% and 4.5%, respectively). For the study period, the relative abundance of D. polymorpha increased from 19.6% (2009) to 34.8% (2014). The species has occupied various benthic habitats of lake Büyük Akgöl and continued to spread during the study period.
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley: Reframing HSIs through a Multi-Sited Ethnography

Published: February 2018

This article contributes to the study of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) through a narrative grounded on two points of innovation. It offers frameworks to decenter the conversation on HSIs from normative practices in higher education to focus on pedagogical, cultural, and political relational processes that find greater congruence between nominal HSIs and the Latina/o students, families, and the communities that populate those universities. It looks at points of innovation that emerged in two different parts of the country at different places, spaces, and time. One was initiated at the University of North Florida (UNF) in the early-to-mid-1970s, and the second is taking place at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in South Texas (UTRGV). The UNF experience placed race relations front and center of its innovation, and offers an appropriate historical lens through which to understand the social and institutional change taking place in South Texas. The UTRGV work provides an example of how an HSI can align its curricular and core identity to reflect the population and region it serves. This study employs a methodology and theoretical framework that aligns the inquiry, pedagogy, and meaning-making process in a generative and relational discourse.
