Abstract: Modern information and communication tools have increasingly become an indispensable part of our everyday life. Research data demonstrate that it can be used effectively to preserve and restore health, not just among young people but also among the elderly, as for nowadays the use of the internet is widespread among the elderly, but healthcare applications are less well-known. This supports the significance of our project since it is important to develop and introduce disease-specific healthcare applications. Our preliminary results also indicated that men are less open to these new technologies, so in their case, specific methods are needed to facilitate the use of electronic devices. The high level of internet activity and the interest in information and communication technologies provide a reliable basis for applying these new technologies to the elderly. Thus, based on our research, we can develop a complex model of care based on the bio-psycho-social principles, which can be a significant advance in the prevention and early detection of age-related mental disorders and in alleviating the physical and psychological burdens of people with dementia and their families.

Reconsidering ‘Desire’ and ‘Style’: A Lefebvrian Approach to Democratic Orientation in Planning
Authors: Yamamoto Yukihiro 
Published: June 2018

In Henri Lefebvre’s theory, the space in process of social production is regarded as the very condition of accomplishing the ‘desire’ to do or to create something. This article argues that we need to understand the implications of the ‘desire’ in order to make use of his urban theory in today’s planning. Introducing this idea, in the 1960s and 1970s, Lefebvre attempted to create our own style of living, that is, to produce the appropriated space which differed from the technocratically-planned spaces where people devote themselves into repetitively fulfilling their needs for specific objects like a laboratory rat in the experiment of looped system. For all his utopian strategies, Lefebvre made practical suggestions on turning our cities more desire-based, that is to say, more democratically designed; it would be very helpful for today’s urban planning to go back to his argument on the difference between ‘desire’ and ‘need’, or the connection between ‘desire’ and the style of living.
O lugar da cultura nos Jogos Olímpicos: uma análise dos Jogos de Berlim (1936)
Authors: Da Silva Pinto Carneiro Juliana 
Published: June 2018

Este artigo pretende analisar a programação cultural e artística dos Jogos Olímpicos, a partir da compreensão que os programas de cultura são um campo privilegiado para a consolidação dos aspectos simbólicos presentes nas edições destes megaeventos. Na primeira parte do artigo as informações estão sistematizadas em um breve panorama temporal, estruturado a partir de três momentos: a) De 1896 a 1912: as artes e a cultura não estavam formalmente inseridas nos Jogos Olímpicos; b) De Estocolmo 1912 a Londres 1948: edições de Jogos Olímpicos com competições das artes olímpicas; c) De Melbourne 1956 a Barcelona 1992: as diferentes concepções de programação cultural. Na segunda parte, o artigo investiga mais detidamente os Jogos de Berlim (1936), partindo da premissa que o governo alemão entendeu a “força simbólica dos elementos culturais” e a potencializou com estratégias de propaganda para consolidar as principais representações do modelo nazista.

Published: June 2018

Background: Population based estimates from India on the prevalence of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) are scarce. This study aimed to assess the population-based prevalence of PAD in rural and urban Vellore, Tamil Nadu, South India.Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted using the WHO STEPS methodology and the WHO/Rose questionnaire for intermittent claudication for identifying symptomatic PAD among adults aged 30-64 years. The study was done in nine villages of one rural block and in 48 urban wards of Vellore, between 2011-12. Risk factors for PAD such as sociodemographic factors, tobacco use, anthropometry, known medical conditions, Fasting Plasma Glucose and lipid profile were also assessed and association with PAD estimated using odds ratios, chi-square tests and logistic regression.Results: Among 5429 adults aged 30-64 years, the prevalence of PAD (intermittent claudication) was 4.9/1000 (95% Confidence Interval CI: 3.0/1000 - 6.8/1000). The prevalence in urban Vellore was higher than in the rural area (6.9/1000 vs. 3.8/1000). After adjusting for sociodemographic factors and other confounding factors, current tobacco use was found to be significantly associated with the presence of PAD (adjusted Odds Ratio: 2.89, 95% CI: 1.10-7.54).Conclusions: This study provides estimates of the burden of PAD in rural and urban adults in Vellore, Tamil Nadu. The trend of this condition needs to be monitored in various locations to assess the public health significance and the need for population level measures for diagnosis, treatment and screening. Education regarding harmful effects of tobacco use should also involve education regarding risk of PAD.

Authors: ÇIKILI UYTUN Merve , ÖZMEN Sevgi , DEMİRCİ Esra 
Published: June 2018

Objectives: Child sexual abuse is associated with adverse
outcomes, including increased vulnerability, that may explain the risk of
revictimization via cyber media and cyber abuse may be a risk factor for sexual
abuse. The aims of the study were to explore cyber abuse prevalence in sexual
abuse cases, the direct and indirect links between child sexual abuse and cyber
abuse and to study the differences in internet use between children and
adolescents who were sexually abused and the control group. Methods: We assessed 75 children and adolescents aged 7-18 who had experienced sexual
abuse and were referred to us between 01.01.2014-01.01.2015. Additionally, 45
typical developing subjects who did not have any abuse history were recruited
from pediatrics clinic of or hospital as the control group. We used our
semi-structured questionnaire to assess cyber abuse. Results: The rates of
internet use were high in the control group (97.8%) compared to those of
sexually abused teens (82.7%). However, the rates of cyber abuse were similar
between the groups. The most used web site/application was different between
the groups. Facebook was the most used web site/application in the sexually
abused group (69.4%). This ratio was only 20.5% in the control group. Conclusions: We assessed cyber abuse in a population exposed to sexual abuse. As several
authors have previously emphasized, the implementation of preventative steps is
essential. There is a great need to develop and evaluate interventions with
those children and young people, particularly in sexually abused children and
adolescents who are thought to be more vulnerable to cyber abuse.

Practically speaking, manufacturing as well as service industries were the major playground for utilizing TRIZ to improve operational performance for achieving excellence. It is, therefore, about the right time to understand the progress of applying TRIZ methodology from various fields in the world and to set a research agenda for future research and application. The authors conducted a systematic review of previous studies selected from several databases. Based on statistical analysis and the results of text/data mining, the current study concluded that the most adopted tools in TRIZ are contradiction and patent analysis; furthermore, quality function deployment (QFD) and green design are the most popular methods used in combination with TRIZ.
Estimating Ultralow Permeability at Multiple Locations Using Simultaneous-Impulse Tests: A Fit-for-Purpose Pressure-Transient Solution and Its Field Application
Authors: Zhan Lang , Fair Phil S. , Dombrowski Robert J. , Quint Edwin N. , Cao Richard 
Published: June 2018

Summary
One of the major challenges in efficiently developing ultratight or shale reservoirs is to obtain reliable permeability distribution. Ultralow permeability and very strong stratification or heterogeneity in the formations require conducting long-duration tests at multiple locations in a well to attain a complete reservoir characterization. Because of these characteristics, existing tools or methods that work well for conventional reservoirs are usually not applicable for ultralow-permeability formations. An innovative reservoir-monitoring/testing tool system was developed and successfully applied to fields in both the United States and Canada (Zhan et al. 2016). The tool created multiple pressure pulses at targeted locations simultaneously along monitoring wells for zonal in-situ permeability estimations as well as long-term formation-pressure monitoring. Existing pressure-transient solutions are incapable of handling the measured data when potential zonal-pressure interferences appear. A fit-for-purpose pressure solution, the associated optimization algorithm, and a suitable data-interpretation work flow were developed to analyze the data whenever commercial software tools are inadequate. The new solution fully considers all impulses as well as potential interferences among them through suitable superposition. In-situ permeability values at all involved zones can be obtained through a combination of individual-impulse analyses and systematic multiple-impulse inversions.
The new pressure-transient solution was verified through comprehensive synthetic cases using numerical simulations. The results show that the solution can handle either fully or partially open wellbores in each zone and properly considers crossflow between formation layers. In addition, it allows any number of perforated intervals and formation layers where the number of perforated intervals is fewer than that of the formation layers. Field examples demonstrate the applicability of the new solution and the data-interpretation work flow to formation permeability down to tens of nanodarcies. The detailed zonal-permeability distribution in the formation enables a more-representative reservoir model for better hydraulic-fracturing design and field-development optimization.

Abstract
This paper discusses research on performance of scale inhibitors in the presence of ferrous ion. Iron ion is the most abundant heavy metal ion in wastewater and oilfield produced water. Fe(II) is the dominant form of iron ion in oil and gas wells due to the downhole high anoxic conditions. Fe(II) can form FeS and FeCO3 which will cause severe problems in production. Further, it is important to thoroughly investigate the inhibitor compatibility with these cations in oilfield as the existence of iron in solution effects on inhibitor chemistry.
In this research, Fe(II) effect on various scale inhibitors on barite was tested using an improved anoxic testing apparatus along with laser light scattering nucleation detection method. In this newly designed apparatus strict maintenance of anoxic condition is guaranteed by constant argon flow and switch valve to transfer solution. Moreover, the high Fe(II) tolerance concentration for common inhibitors were tested by varying Fe(II) concentrations from 50-100 mg/L at 90°C and near neutral pH conditions. Most scale inhibitors show good Fe(II) tolerance at experimental conditions, while the inhibition performance of phosphonates were significantly impaired by Fe(II). It is proposed that the formation of insoluble precipitates between Fe(II) and phosphonate is very likely the reason behind the observed significant impairment. Further, two methods to reverse the detrimental effect of Fe(II) on barite scale inhibitor performance is investigated and discussed here. First, a most common organic chelating agents used in oilfield, EDTA, was tested for its ability to reverse the detrimental effect of Fe(II) on scale. Secondly, Fe(II)/Inhibitor concentration ratio was changed so that remaining inhibitor in the aqueous phase would conduct the scale inhibition.

Authors: Kuang Shan , Sima Zhenhua , Liu Jiawei , Li Wuguo , Song Qiaoling , Zhang Qing , Yu Qiang 
Published: June 2018

Background:
2-Methoxystypandrone (2-MS), isolated from the roots of Polygonum cuspidatum, is a
potent dual inhibitor of the STAT3 and NF-κB pathways.

Objective:
To investigate the molecular targets and mechanisms of 2-MS.

Method:
A biotin-conjugated 2-MS analog, named 2-MS-Biotin, was designed and synthesized. The effects of
2-MS-Biotin on the STAT3 and NF-κB pathways were examined by Western blotting. The cytotoxicity of 2-
MS-Biotin was evaluated using real-time cell analysis system. Proteins directly bound to 2-MS-Biotin were
pulled down through streptavidin agarose beads and were detected using Western blotting.

Results:
2-MS-Biotin retained the inhibition activities of the parent compound 2-MS on the STAT3 and NF-κB
pathways as well as on cancer cell growth. Also, JAK2 and IKK proteins can be effectively pulled down by 2-
MS-Biotin.

Conclusion:
Using 2-MS-Biotin as a tool, both JAK2 and IKK were identified as the targets of 2-MS.

Published: June 2018

Background:The use of biomimetic agents is an emerging field in modern oral care. Promising biomimetic substances for such applications are calcium phosphates, because their chemical composition is very similar to that of the mineral phase in human teeth, especially of natural enamel. Examples for their application include the remineralization of early caries lesions and repair of small enamel defects.Objective:This review provides an interdisciplinary view on calcium phosphates and their applications in biomimetic oral care. The aim of this work is to give an overview ofin vivoandin situstudies comparing several calcium phosphates in preventive dentistry that can be used as a knowledge base for the development of innovative alternative oral care concepts.Methods:Books, reviews, and original research papers with a focus onin vivoandin situstudies were included. The databases PubMed®and SciFinder®were used for literature search. Calcium phosphates that are frequently utilized in oral care products are covered in this review and were used as search terms alone and together with the following key words:in vivo,in situ, caries, clinical study, and remineralization. From 13,470 studies found, 35 studies complied with the inclusion criteria and were used for this review.Results:Publishedin vivoandin situstudies demonstrate calcium phosphates’ potential in enamel remineralization. However, more studies are needed to further substantiate existing results and to extend and refine the application of calcium phosphates in modern oral care.Conclusion:Calcium phosphates represent an innovative biomimetic approach for daily oral care because of their high similarity to natural enamel that will broaden the range of future treatments in preventive dentistry.

Background:Bartonella species are intracellular bacteria capable of producing several diseases in humans. The three most common and wellknown diseases are cat scratch disease (CSD), caused by B. henselae, trench fever, caused byB. quintanaand Carrion’s Disease, caused byB. bacilliformis. Signs and symptoms are very different and aspecific: Fatigue, fever, headache, lymphadenopathy, malaise, loss of weight. No data exist to support guidelines’ recommendations to decide which drugs should be optimally used and how long they should be administered. Therefore, a marker of treatment response is needed to guide treatment strategies.Methods:We report herein three cases in which a species specific Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase-Chain-Reaction (RT PCR) developed in-house was performed and compared to serology in order to make diagnosis and to evaluate treatment response.Results:Our species-specific RT PCR seemed to play a fundamental role both in diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, a discrepancy with the serology results was found.Conclusion:Further studies are necessary to validate these results and elucidate what is the best treatment for this pleomorphic disease. However, in absence of clear guidelines, RT PCR may be useful to orientate kind of treatment ad its duration.
