Published: July 2018

Background Neuroimaging studies have revealed that disturbances in network organization of key brain regions may underlie cognitive and emotional dysfunction in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Examining both brain structure and function in the same population may further our understanding of network alterations in PTSD. Methods We used tensor-based morphometry and intrinsic connectivity distribution to identify regions of altered volume and functional connectivity in unmedicated individuals with PTSD ( n = 21) and healthy comparison participants ( n = 18). These regions were then used as seeds for follow-up anatomical covariance and functional connectivity analyses. Results Smaller volume in the cerebellum and weaker structural covariance between the cerebellum seed and the middle temporal gyrus were observed in the PTSD group. Individuals with PTSD also exhibited lower whole-brain connectivity in the cerebellum, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and medial prefrontal cortex. Functional connectivity in the cerebellum and grey matter volume in the dlPFC were negatively correlated with PTSD severity as measured by the DSM-5 PTSD Checklist (PCL-5; r = −.0.77, r = − 0.79). Finally, seed connectivity revealed weaker connectivity within nodes of the central executive network (right and left dlPFC), and between nodes of the default mode network (medial prefrontal cortex and cerebellum) and the supramarginal gyrus, in the PTSD group. Conclusion We demonstrate structural and functional alterations in PTSD converging on the PFC and cerebellum. Whilst PFC alterations are relatively well established in PTSD, the cerebellum has not generally been considered a key region in PTSD. Our findings add to a growing evidence base implicating cerebellar involvement in the pathophysiology of PTSD.
Vida y subjetividad: Los Descartes de Michel Henry
Authors: Lipsitz Mario 
Published: July 2018

Con el ego cogito sum, Descartes ha buscado ofrecer un suelo seguro para la edificación del conocimiento científico. Sin embargo, la problemática así instaurada ha olvidado totalmente, como señala Heidegger, elucidar el sentido de ser de ese sum.
Puede decirse que toda la obra de Michel Henry constituye una tentativa profundamente original de plantear la cuestión del ego sum sobre un contexto verdaderamente ontológico. Es en esta medida que su meditación sobre la obra y el proyecto cartesiano ocupa un lugar central y permanente. Henry nos descubre en L'essence de la Manifestation (1964) y en Phénoménologie du Corps un Descartes cuyo proyecto, basado irreflexivamente sobre un procedimiento intuicionista identifica verdad con evidencia y predetermina así su investigación como una imposible tentativa de exhibir el fundamento bajo la luz. Imposible, pues el fundamento, afirma Henry, el ser del ego, es invisible. Esto es lo que ha comprendido el Descartes al que nos abre Henry en su “Généalogie de la Psychanalyse” (1985): el ser del sum no es un “qué” susceptible de ser dado por un ver sino un “como” que se revela sin mediación a sí mismo como pathos: el aparecerse a si de la vida en la inmanencia de su afectividad.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
The aim of our investigation was to determine and compare the pre- and post- training body hydration status in professional and amateur male ice hockey players consumed the drinks according to their thirst sensation in winter conditions. Materials and methods: 11 amateur and 23 professional ice hockey players participated in the investigation. The players were weighted before and after training using precise scales. The body mass composition of every athlete was determined by the body composition analyzer. Every player collected mid–stream urine specimens before and after the training. Urine specific gravity (USG) was measured by urine refractometer. Results: 56% of the professional ice hockey players and 82% of amateur players were hypohydrated before training according to their USG values ≥ 1.020, 5% of professional players were dehydrated their USG values ≥ 1.030. After the training with duration of 1.5 hours the mean body mass decreased for 0.9±0.5% of pre– training value in amateur players and for 1.6±0.8% in professionals (p=0.005). After the training the professional players’ hydration status worsened: 66% were hypohydrated and 26% dehydrated according to USG, the mean USG after training was significantly higher than before it (p=0.011). USG after training did not change in amateur players: their mean USG values before and after training did not differed significantly (p=0.677). Conclusions: Fluid uptake according to thirst sensation in winter conditions cannot compensate the fluid loss at rest and during training especially in professional ice hockey players. The body mass loss exceeded value critical for performance - 2 % in one third part of professionals. The differences between two groups can be explained by higher intensity of exercises during training, the better physical conditioning and greater sweating rate in professional players in comparison with amateurs, which causes close to twice greater uncompensated fluid loss in professionals than in amateurs.

Published: July 2018

Introdução: Pacientes com DPOC geralmente experimentam uma diminuição na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) a partir da percepção própria de que se sentem limitados em algum aspecto de suas vidas. Objetivo: Analisar as produções científicas que abordam o uso de questionários de qualidade de vida para acompanhar evolução de doença em portadores de Doenças Pulmonares Obstrutivas Crônicas. Métodos e Materiais: Revisão Não Sistemática da literatura incluindo artigos nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol, a partir das bases de dados Medline, SciELO e Lilacs, no período de 1998 a 2017, além de livros técnicos que versam sobre o assunto. Foram utilizados os termos: “chronic obstructive pulmonary disease”, “quality of life”, “specific health-related quality of life questionnaires”. Resultados/Síntese dos dados: Os 39 artigos encontrados foram organizados em duas seções, a saber: estudos de validação de questionários de qualidade de vida (n=22) e estudos de comparação entre instrumentos genéricos e específicos para avaliação de qualidade de vida (n=17). Conclusões: A avaliação da qualidade de vida deve ser incorporada ao seguimento clínico, uma vez que a doença crônica repercute nas diversas dimensões da vida dos pacientes. Os questionários específicos de qualidade de vida dão uma melhor dimensão das condições de saúde no portador de DPOC no que se refere a sua relação com a doença.

Published: July 2018

Mobilizing investment and ensuring that it contributes to sustainable development should be one of the priority targets for all countries. The financial-economic market growth is one of the key features of contemporary society, where social, political, and economic activities easily acquire worldwide dimension. Investment Law focuses various aspects of such drives, among other rule of law in different jurisdictions which faces recent developments, as well as multilateral agreements and the soft law that serves as a background for legal transplants and innovation. The analysis made by investors includes risk evaluation. Among other jurisdictions, Latin America and specially Brazil may be included among the hot spots for investments. Between other topics, corruption rating and scandals are scrutinized by investors, showing a widespread example of the dynamic and speed of worldwide negative impact of such events. As a result, fighting corruption has become a policy priority for countries over the past two decades and extensive reform efforts have been launched. Corruption undermines policies and programs that aim to reduce poverty; therefore attacking corruption is critical to achieving poverty reduction, and attracting investments. This article aims to discuss the characteristics of a foreign and international investment and underlines some aspects of corruption; worldwide responses against corruption are also reported, taking into account the fact that the world is globalized and interdependent; An overview of anti-corruption efforts in Brazil is provided.
AN ATTEMPT FOR THE PROTECTION OF SEXUAL DIVERSITY IN BRAZILIAN LAW
Authors: Pereira Marcos Vinicius Torres 
Published: July 2018

This article intends to talk about a democratic initiative of the Brazilian Bar Association to promote human rights and sexual diversity in Brazil. Brazil is walking up the road to protect LGBTI citizens and to legally recognize same-sex couples. The country has guaranteed many rights to homosexual couples and their children, but the lack of a specific act to rule these matters is a problem in a country whose legal system is still very dependent to legal acts and positivism. This work tries to show the state of art of homosexual couples’ rights in Brazil and how the proposal of a new statute to protect the rights of LGBTI people, in all aspects of their daily life could protect them and contribute for a democratic society.

L’atmosphère d’intolérance dans les démocraties contemporaines est incompatible avec le concept de démocratie, dans un sens plus large ; ce qui présente clairement la corrélation étroite entre la démocratie et les droits humains, et aussi comme la négation des droits humains sont révélés dans les périodes de crise économique et politique. Cet article essaie de traiter de la question de la démocratie dans la vie quotidienne, en abordant des questions de politique actuelle dans la réalité brésilienne contemporaine.
Gepromoveerd aan de universiteit, gevormd op de hbs
Authors: Boeles Ester 
Published: July 2018

The Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam recently received a collection of lecture notes from an early 20th century chemistry student by the name of Sybren Postma (1885-1963). Maybe even more interesting are the additional documents that came with these notes. The collection contains newspaper clippings, photos, official documents relating to the Higher Burger School in Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam, and some other publications. These papers tell a story of social mobility and can be read as an example of the alleged role of the Dutch Higher Burger Schools in the schooling of a generation of academics. Postma, from humble descent, was the only child of four to go to the Higher Burger School. After his graduation he matriculated the University of Amsterdam. He managed to get a Ph.D. in Chemistry, but didn’t pursue an academic career. He returned instead to the hbs as a Chemistry teacher.

Quantifying the global non-revenue water problem
Authors: Liemberger R. , Wyatt A. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This paper provides a long overdue update on the global non-revenue water (NRW) estimates, initially published in a World Bank publication more than 10 years ago. The authors use a similar approach based on latest data to estimate the volume of water lost by water utilities around the world. The conclusion of this study is that the 2006 estimates were extremely conservative and that realistic NRW estimates are significantly higher. The global volume of NRW has been estimated to be 346 million cubic metres per day or 126 billion cubic metres per year. Conservatively valued at only USD 0.31 per cubic metre, the cost/value of water lost amounts to USD 39 billion per year. Not only is this an enormous financial concern, but elevated NRW also detracts from water utilities, in a time of increasing scarcity and climate change, from reaching their goals of full service coverage, at a reliable level of service at an affordable price.

Impact of some risk factors on neonatal IUGR incidence and outcome in NICU at Al-Sadder teaching hospital, Misan, Iraq 2016Dr. Eman Khammas Al- SadiF.I.B.M.S/Ped. Misan University, College of Medicine, Misan, Iraq.AbstractBackground: Intrauterine growth restriction IUGR is the second leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries; it also increases adulthood risk of (hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke) that reflects a major public health problem. We aim to identify the incidence and outcome of IUGR in our NICU and the relation with some risk factors.Method: Across sectional study was conducted on 119 singleton newborn babies (Full term and Preterm) admitted to the NICU at Al-Sader teaching hospital, Amara city, Misan province in a period from the first of January to 31 December 2016 with low birth weight (<2.5 kg) whom may or may not have associated medical problems. LBW can be a consequence of IUGR, preterm birth, or both, but in developing countries most LBW births are due to IUGR (defined as below the tenth percentile of the Williams sex-specific weight-for-gestational age reference data).Neonates with lethal congenital anomalies, multiple pregnancies were excluded. Babies were examined and checked to fulfill the definition of (IUGR) through estimation of the following growth parameters (body weight, length, head circumference), and the Ponderal index. We studied various risk factors like maternal: age, parity, hypertension and delivery type as well as fetal gender and gestational age to find the most offending cause of IUGR in our NICU.Statistical significance considered when p value ≤ 0.05. Results: we found that 43.7% of the admitted neonates had IUGR, those with low gestational age carried significant association with IUGR occurrence, p value=0.0001. In this study, we concluded that maternal hypertension, multiparty, cesarean section delivery, young and middle-aged mothers and fetal male gender carried the highest risks of having babies with IUGR but with no significant statistical association.Keyword: IUGR, Risk factor, NICU, Missan, Iraq.
