OBJECTIVENonunion is a common complication of spinal fusion surgeries. Electrical stimulation technologies (ESTs)—namely, direct current stimulation (DCS), capacitive coupling stimulation (CCS), and inductive coupling stimulation (ICS)—have been suggested to improve fusion rates. However, the evidence to support their use is based solely on small trials. Here, the authors report the results of meta-analyses of the preclinical and clinical data from the literature to provide estimates of the overall effect of these therapies at large and in subgroups.METHODSA systematic review of the English-language literature was performed using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The query of these databases was designed to include all preclinical and clinical studies examining ESTs for spinal fusion. The primary endpoint was the fusion rate at the last follow-up. Meta-analyses were performed using a Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation followed by random-effects modeling.RESULTSA total of 33 articles (17 preclinical, 16 clinical) were identified, of which 11 preclinical studies (257 animals) and 13 clinical studies (2144 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. Among preclinical studies, the mean fusion rates were higher among EST-treated animals (OR 4.79, p < 0.001). Clinical studies similarly showed ESTs to increase fusion rates (OR 2.26, p < 0.001). Of EST modalities, only DCS improved fusion rates in both preclinical (OR 5.64, p < 0.001) and clinical (OR 2.13, p = 0.03) populations; ICS improved fusion in clinical studies only (OR 2.45, p = 0.014). CCS was not effective at increasing fusion, although only one clinical study was identified. A subanalysis of the clinical studies found that ESTs increased fusion rates in the following populations: patients with difficult-to-fuse spines, those who smoke, and those who underwent multilevel fusions.CONCLUSIONSThe authors found that electrical stimulation devices may produce clinically significant increases in arthrodesis rates among patients undergoing spinal fusion. They also found that the pro-arthrodesis effects seen in preclinical studies are also found in clinical populations, suggesting that findings in animal studies are translatable. Additional research is needed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of these devices.
The influence of roughness in the equilibrium problem in lubrication with imposed load
Authors: Ciuperca I. , Jai M. , Tello J.I. 
Published: October 2019

In this article we study a lubricated system consisting on a slider moving over a smooth surface and a known external force (the load) applied upon the slider. The slider moves at constant velocity and close proximity to the surface and the gap is filled by an incompressible fluid (the lubricant). At the equilibrium, the position of the slider presents one degree of freedom to be determined by the balance of forces acting on the system: the load and the total force exerted by the pressure of the lubricant. The pressure distribution is described by a variational inequality of elliptic type known as Swift–Stieber model and based on Reynolds equation. The distance h between the surfaces in a two dimensional domain Ω is given by [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for y being the homogenization variable. The main result of the article quantify the influence of the roughness in the load capacity of the mechanism in the following way: [Formula: see text] then, the mechanism presents finite load capacity, i.e. [Formula: see text]. Infinite load capacity is obtained for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. A one dimensional particular case is given for [Formula: see text] with infinite load capacity.

Published: October 2019

The following study aims to evaluate the changes in profile of selected sugars and content of polyols in the apple tissue after osmotic dehydration. What makes this research innovative is the use, in the osmotic pre-treatment, of solutions which have hitherto not been commonly used in fruit processing by researchers worldwide. Selected substances from the polyols group (erythritol, xylitol, and maltitol) were used as osmotic agents in 30 % concentrated solutions. The ideal osmotic pressure, as well as efficiency of the process, was calculated, and these parameters were the highest in the case of erythritol. It was confirmed that type of osmotic solution and time of the process have significant influence on discussed parameters. Osmotic dehydration in polyols solutions resulted in increasing the content of these compounds during the process and minor changes in sugars profile of apple tissue. Color changes caused by pre-treatment were small, but still they could be noticed by an inexperienced observer.

Strawberry is an accessory fruit stimulated by cold weather as a berry, reported to constitute, phenolic acid, ellagic acid and its derivatives EA-4-arabiniside, EA-4-acetylarabinoside, EA-4-acetylxyloside, β-carotenoids (Lutein, β-carotene), omega-3 fatty acids and derivatives. Fruits especially berries/soft fruits have combination of antioxidants and phytochemicals. the phenolic compounds present in strawberries are responsible for antioxidant properties rather than to vitamin C and these dietary antioxidants prevent or limit the potential cancer-inducing oxidative damage. These compounds play a synergistic and cumulative role in health promotion. The risk of persistent diseases and oxidative damage to the cellular system can also be prohibited or lowered by these antioxidant compounds (phytochemicals), such as phenolics and carotenoids Strawberries enhance the palatableness of a cholesterol-dropping food whereas it maintains the serum lipid reductions of the food consumed. Cognitive and motor functions are age-related declines that are slowed by strawberry intake and it also has cancer fighting constituents, it also has a potential of decreasing the risk of heart diseases, the females with high strawberry ingestion have reduced levels of an inflammatory marker in their blood. Strawberry extract was found to decrease the activity of transcription factors involved in tumor promotion and there is a need to consume sufficient amounts of antioxidants avoid or reduce the oxidative stress stimulated by free radicals
The sky movement and Tamil thinking in Pattupattu
Authors: A Muthulakshmi 
Published: October 2019

We could see the rise and set of the planets starting with the Sun. Tamil had many thoughts and opinions on the rise and set of those planets. They had calculated not only Sun’s orbit but also various other stars, planets and their orbital relations as well. Through Sangam literature, one could know that there were experts in calculating the celestial bodies. Subbu Reddiyar explains the poem from ‘puRanaanuuRu’ that there were people who had mastered for years and could tell the everyday measures of ‘the law of the sun and its movement, the orbit surrounding by its movement, the direction of the wind and the sky without an axile’ (puRam 30). Thus, it could be understood that the ancient Tamils were capable of measuring not only the sky but also the movements of Sun and the celestial bodies. That is how he poem mention details about the moon, stars and the movement of the Sun.

O ENSINO COMO ATO DE RESISTÊNCIA EM DIÁRIO DE ESCOLA
Authors: SOUZA Anderson Ibsen Lopes de , BARBOSA Raquel Lazzari Leite 
Published: October 2019

O presente estudo aborda a obra Diário de escola, do escritor francês Daniel Pennac, a partir de um viés crítico embasado à luz dos conceitos de globalização e de pós-modernidade, onde confrontamos tais conceitos ideológicos com os paradoxos da educação na atualidade, tudo no intuito de verificar a possibilidade de se trabalhar o ensino como ato de resistência. Nesse romance de teor autobiográfico, que traz a figura de um bem-sucedido professor que fora um aluno problemático e com dificuldade de aprendizagem, Pennac demonstra que a escola tradicional apenas reproduz a ordem social hegemônica, abandonando aqueles jovens que não conseguem se adaptar ao sistema. Apesar de a escola muitas vezes querer transformar os alunos em meros indivíduos, há ainda aqueles professores que buscam salvar os alunos do “afogamento”; e são estes magistrados revolucionários que podem livrar os “lerdos emblemáticos” desse sistema inexorável, que cria no microcosmo escolar uma separação social. É assim que Pennac sugere que a educação escolar seja um ato de resistência contra esse sistema opressor, para que o universo escolar, ao invés de vaticinar o sucesso ou o fracasso dos jovens que lá buscam, se torne um ambiente propício ao desenvolvimento das potencialidades de cada estudante.
