Thermal Properties of Open-Cage Silsesquioxanes: The Effect of Substituents at the Corners and Opening Moieties
Authors: Yuasa Sota , Sato Yuri , Imoto Hiroaki , Naka Kensuke 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Incompletely condensed polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (IC-POSS), which has an open-cage structure, exhibits high optical transparency even incorporating 30 wt% of the IC-POSS fillers in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix dependent on their substituents. However, real understanding of the substituent-dependent dispersibility of the IC-POSS fillers is unclear. In this work, we studied structure-dependent bulk thermal properties of the IC-POSS derivatives substituting isobutyl, phenyl and cyclohexyl groups at the Si corners and dimethylsilyl, trimethylsilyl, dimethylethylsilyl, dimethylvinylsilyl, dimethylphenylsilyl, and dimethylethylcyclohexyl groups at the opening moieties. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement revealed that both the substituents at the corners and opening moieties significantly affected the thermal properties of the IC-POSS derivatives. We found volcano-type dependence of the phase transition temperature on the molecular weights of the substituents at the opening moieties in all the tested IC-POSS derivatives. The trimethylsilyl groups and the dimethylphenylsilyl groups at the open moieties showed highest and lowest phase transition temperatures, respectively. Especially, the phenyl groups at the opening moieties lead to low melting point and high thermal stability.

Abstract
Novel perfluoroalkyl gelators without hydrogen bonds–bis(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-pentadecafluorooctyl) isophthalate (1m), bis(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-pentadecafluorooctyl) terephthalate (1p), and tris(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-pentadecafluorooctyl) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (2)–were synthesized. Their molecular structures were investigated by density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ level. The gelation abilities of 1m, 1p, and 2 were examined and compared to their normal octyl homologues 1m′, 1p′, and 2′. None of the gelators could be gelated in common organic solvents, but gelated well in fluorinated solvents.

Published: October 2018

Abstract
In this account, we review a blowing strategy for manufacturing cellular solid materials. Solid foams have been important engineering materials since the early 20th century, and are newly explored for versatile functionalities in recent decades. The blowing route is a practicable technique to yield foams, compatible with scalable industry. With rising 2D materials, the blowing protocol has been applied to synthesizing foams built of 2D materials or nanosheets for the past several years. It is worthy outlining the fundamentals of foaming processes, which include geometry, statics, kinetics, and dynamics in foaming, to study topological constraint, equilibrium configuration, nucleation-growth, and structural evolution, respectively. They are essential for controlling the production towards high-quality foams. Recent progress on foams derived via blowing methods is surveyed, covering traditional foams and newly developed inorganic foams. Advanced foams of boron-carbon-nitrogen systems, e.g. carbon foams, 3D graphene foams, carbon nitride foams, boron nitride foams, doped and hybrid foams, are highlighted and elaborated individually. The relationships between structure, property, and functionality in foam structures are additionally discussed, and the constructive applications of foams are investigated.
Building an orthopaedic CT phantom for under £50
Authors: Tins Bernhard , Kuiper Jan Herman 
Published: October 2018

Objective: In procuring a CT scanner for orthopaedic imaging, the ability of the scanner to cope with metal artefacts for visualising bone and bone lesions around orthopaedic implants is an important feature. A durable and easily transportable CT phantom would help to compare this feature between CT scanners.The aims of this study were to develop a CT phantom that is easy to build, easily transportable, stable over time, cheap and challenging CT scanner performance. Methods: A CT phantom resembling a femur and tibia with a total knee replacement was constructed from spare components of a knee replacement, wall filler and polystyrene. A number of plastic strips and cylinders were placed between metal implant and bone substitute during construction to act as “bone lesions”. The phantom was fixed in a watertight acrylic box with epoxy resin. Results: The total manufacturing time was below 3 h staggered over several days and the total cost was below £50. When empty, the phantom is easily transportable. The box can be filled with water on site visits ensuring a reproducible attenuation. This phantom is stable (i.e. not affected by decay of biological tissue). Conclusion: The phantom was easy to construct and is well transportable and stable in time. The phantom can be used in a procurement process allowing direct comparison of different scanners regarding technical factors and software performance. It can further be used for quality assurance, scan parameter optimisation and research. We conclude that a simple and transportable CT phantom can be built using few resources that allows to compare CT scanners with respect to their ability to visualise bone lesions around metal implants. Advances in knowledge: It is possible to build a CT knee replacement phantom in a few hours and for less than £50. Other than the total knee implant, this CT phantom can be built with material available from any DIY store and simple tools. This CT phantoms allows objective comparisons in CT procurement. This CT phantom allows objective assessment of imaging protocols for clinical practice.
O direito fundamental a serviços de saúde no Brasil
Authors: Machado Gabriel Ducatti Lino 
Published: October 2018

The fundamental right to health services in Brazil O ramo público do sistema de saúde brasileiro é marcado por uma tensão entre um auspicioso direito fundamental à saúde, que até mesmo garantiria a qualquer pessoa o acesso gratuito a serviços de assistência terapêutica, e uma política que se esforça para restringir os serviços disponíveis. Se, por força dos arts. 6º e 196 CF, existe um direito fundamental a serviços de saúde (serviços de assistência terapêutica), então a quais serviços? Essa é a questão central que aqui se analisa, de uma perspectiva jurídico-dogmática. Em outras palavras: objeto de investigação é a dimensão material do direito fundamental a serviços de saúde. Para a definição de seus limites, ressaltam como determinantes os conceitos de saúde e de doença em sentido amplo; a segurança e eficácia do serviço, servindo a exigência de evidência científica verificada em processo próprio de aprovação como regra geral, mas se admitindo uma regra de exceção que responda às peculiaridades do caso concreto; e a eficácia marginal ou relevante do serviço. Finalmente, se Legislativo e Executivo têm pouco espaço para determinar os serviços disponíveis, eles têm uma ampla margem de discricionariedade para a organização do sistema de saúde. The public branch of the Brazilian health system is characterised by a tension between an auspicious fundamental right to health, which should even guarantee to anyone gratuitous access to the therapeutic assistance services, and a politics which strives to restrict the available services. If, by virtue of Articles 6 and 196 of the Brazilian Constitution, there is a fundamental right to health services (therapeutic assistance services), then to which services? This is the central question to be analysed here, from the perspective of legal dogmatics. In other words: object of inquiry is the material dimension of the fundamental right to health services. Determinant for the definition of its limits are the concepts of health and illness in a broader sense; the safety and effectiveness of the service, whereby the requirement of scientific evidence verified in a particular process of approval should serve as a general rule, supplemented by an exception rule which takes account of the peculiarities of the individual case; and the marginal or relevant effectiveness of the service. Finally, if Legislative and Executive do not have much freedom to determine the available services, they have a wide margin of discretion in the organization of the health system.

Association between intensity of STI screening and development of antimicrobial resistance in N. gonorrhoeae in 12 cities in the USA: An ecological study
Authors: Kenyon Chris R. 
Published: October 2018

In this study, we assessed if there was a city-level association between sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening intensity in men who have sex with men and antimicrobial sensitivity inNeisseria gonorrhoeaein the United States, 2007 to 2013. We found positive associations between STI screening intensity and increases in minimum inhibitory concentrations for certain antimicrobials. Not all positive associations were statistically significant and the associations found to be statistically significant varied between the different analyses. Further studies are therefore required to assess if there is a causal relationship between the intensity of STI screening in MSM and gonococcal resistance.
Vacuum evaporation and nitrogen-assisted deodorization affects the antioxidant capacity in the olein fraction of red palm oil and its emulsion products
Authors: Bohari Bohari , Muhadir Muhammad , Rahmadi Anton 
Published: October 2018

Background: Deodorization of the olein fraction of red palm oil (OFRP) determines not only the taste of a multivitamin emulsion but also its antioxidant capacity. The emulsion product was formulated from OFRP, pumpkin juice (PJ), and dragon fruit juice (DFJ). This study aimed to optimize vacuum evaporation and nitrogen-assisted deodorizations of OFRP, observing levels of β-carotene, α-tocopherol, inhibition percentage of ABTS reduction, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) activity. Methods: The deodorizations observed were vacuum evaporation in four conditions: (1) 90°C, 80±5 mmHg, (2) 100°C, 80±5 mmHg, (3) 90°C, 100±5 mmHg, (4) 100°C, 100±5 mmHg, and nitrogen-assisted in two flow durations: (1) 15 min and (2) 30 min. β-carotene, α-tocopherol, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were employed as standards. Results: The deodorized OFRP had fewer than 2% free fatty acids (FFA), lower than 3% peroxide value (PV), and lower than 4% acidic value (AV). Fluctuations of the β-carotene and α-tocopherol concentrations were observed in the deodorized OFRP. The final emulsion product had β-carotene of 259.9±1.4 to 271.7±2.4 ppm and α-tocopherol of 36.36±0.20 to 39.12±0.20 ppm. The total betacyanin of the emulsions were ±25% than DFJ. The emulsions had 22.93 to 32.11% of ABTS reduction inhibitory activity of the BHT activity and FRAP activity of 16.54±0.19 to 17.69±0.67 mM FeSO4•7H2O. Conclusions: The best vacuum evaporation optimized at 90 °C, 100±5 mmHg, 60 RPM for 1 hour. The best nitrogen-assisted deodorization was at 85±3°C and 1 l/minute of nitrogen for 15 minutes. The deodorization process affected the antioxidant activity of OFRP and emulsions.

Authors: Miranda J. Jaime , Lazo-Porras María , Bernabe-Ortiz Antonio , Pesantes M. Amalia , Diez-Canseco Francisco , Cornejo Socorro del Pilar , Trujillo Antonio J. 
Published: October 2018

Background:Incentives play a role in introducing health-related benefits, but no interventions using mixed incentives, i.e. a combination of individual and group incentives, have been tested in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We evaluated the feasibility of implementing individual- and mixed-incentives, with and without a supportive partner, on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) control and weight loss among patients with T2DM.Methods:This is a feasibility, sex-stratified, single-blinded, randomized controlled study in individuals with T2DM. All participants received diabetes education and tailored goal setting for weight and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Participants were randomly assigned into three arms: individual incentives (Arm 1), mixed incentives-altruism (Arm 2), and mixed incentives-cooperation (Arm 3). Participants were accompanied by a diabetes educator every other week to monitor targets, and the intervention period lasted 3 months. The primary outcome was the change in HbA1c at 3 months from baseline. Weight and change body mass index (BMI) were considered as secondary outcomes.Results:Out of 783 patients screened, a total of 54 participants, 18 per study arm, were enrolled and 44 (82%) completed the 3-month follow-up. Mean baseline HbA1c values were 8.5%, 7.9% and 8.2% in Arm 1, Arm 2, and Arm 3, respectively. At 3 months, participants in all three study arms showed reductions in HbA1c ranging from -0.9% in Arm 2 to -1.4% in Arm 1. Weight and BMI also showed reductions.Conclusions:Individual and mixed cash incentives show important reductions in HbA1c, weight and BMI in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after 3 months. Recruitment and uptake of the intervention were successfully accomplished demonstrating feasibility to conduct larger effectiveness studies to test individual and mixed economic incentives for diabetes management.Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov IdentifierNCT02891382

Authors: Müller Patrícia Wolff , Salazar Viviane , Donelli Tagma Marina Schneider 
Published: October 2018

Dificuldades no âmbito da alimentação podem incluir alterações na qualidade ou na quantidade da alimentação, dificuldades com alimentos específicos que são introduzidos durante o primeiro ano de vida da criança, além de afetarem na maneira como mães e bebês se envolve, pois a relação de alimentação entre a mãe e o bebê é influenciada, desde o início tanto por fatores fisiológicos como por forças interacionais em múltiplos níveis. Considerando-se a importância da alimentação da criança para a promoção de sua saúde e para a relação entre mãe e filho, este artigo visa realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura internacional especializada sobre as dificuldades alimentares na primeira infância, de itens publicados nos últimos cinco anos, nas bases de dados Ebsco Host (Academic Search e Medline), Pubmed/Medline, Psychinfo, Science Direct, Scopus, BVS e Scielo.Foram selecionados 24 artigos da área da Psicologia. Identificou-se que o método quantitativo com características prospectivas e longitudinais foi o mais utilizado entre os estudos. Além disso, o continente europeu é responsável pela maioria das publicações. Percebeu-se um crescimento de estudos sobre a questão alimentar na infância a partir do ano de 2010 e os participantes foram, em sua maior parte, mães e duplas de mães e bebês. Dentre os objetivos, destacou-se o propósito de pesquisar a relação entre os problemas de alimentação e as práticas e estilos parentais, enquanto que os resultados mostraram que o comportamento materno possui influência na alimentação, esta podendo ser usada como uma forma de controle e de conforto.
Sobrepeso e obesidade na mídia impressa: uma análise retrospectiva na revista Veja
Authors: Justo Ana Maria , Camargo Brigido Vizeu 
Published: October 2018

O estudo teve como objetivo investigar as representações sociais do excesso de peso corporal difundidas em uma revista de circulação nacional. No período de 1968 a 2012 foram identificadas 198 reportagens e 21 manchetes de capa relacionadas ao sobrepeso ou obesidade. Todas as reportagens internas foram submetidas à análise categorial múltipla e as de capa foram organizadas em um único corpus, submetido a uma Classificação Hierárquica Descendente, com o auxílio do software IRAMUTEQ. Embora tenha ganhado significativamente maior espaço na revista a partir dos anos 2000, quando a obesidade passa gradativamente de um objeto da ciência a um assunto do cotidiano, a forma de abordar o corpo com excesso de peso mostra-se relativamente estável desde a década de 1960. O sobrepeso é necessariamente associado ao emagrecimento e a gordura aparece como um elemento a ser eliminado. Grande parte do conteúdo analisado refere-se à difusão de conhecimentos técnicos e descobertas científicas diretamente ligadas ao emagrecimento, sendo a alimentação um assunto em destaque. São mencionadas as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas pessoas com excesso de peso, na medida em que o emagrecimento é necessário e exige uma rotina regrada, muitas vezes na contramão das atividades sociais prazerosas.
Erlebnis e Erfahrung na perspectiva do limiar como transição e passagem
Authors: Palazuelos Felix Rebolledo , Fonseca Tania Mara Galli 
Published: October 2018

A diferença em si e a diferença em espécie manifestam-se simultaneamente como dois aspectos do devir processual. Mesmo que ambos surjam na ruptura do presente, diferem-se em natureza. Isto se reflete nos tipos de experiência os quais eles dão origem e em termos de como avançam. Ao tornar explícitas as diferenças conceituais entre os tipos de experiência, fazemos recurso a erlebnis e erfahrung como articulados por Walter Benjamin e indicamos a transição e a passagem como modos de avanço específicos para cada tipo de experiência. Para poder perceber a mudança, precisamos de marcadores e indicadores que discirnam a transição e a passagem, funções preenchidas por limiares. Assim, nosso texto identifica diferentes modalidades de limiar exigidas pela transição e passagem como diferenciadores processuais dentro dos erlebnis e do erfahrung como produtores de diferença. Nosso texto não pretende ser uma síntese do pensamento de Benjamin sobre a experiência; somente procuramos propor "agentes clinâmicos" que possam infletir leituras e compreensões subsequentes.
Representação de apego materna, relação mãe-criança e apego inseguro do filho: um estudo qualitativo
Authors: Bortolini Marcela , Piccinini Cesar Augusto 
Published: October 2018

O padrão de apego materno com os seus próprios cuidadores tende a influenciar suas relações posteriores, em especial a relação mãe-filho. Esta expectativa, baseada na literatura, norteou o presente estudo que teve o objetivo de investigar as experiências, o apego da mãe com seus cuidadores e o apego inseguro do filho. Participaram duas díades mãe-filho em que a criança apresentava comportamentos de apego inseguro [selecionadas em uma amostra de 63 participantes]. As mães responderam instrumentos que avaliavam os cuidados recebidos; suas representações de apego; sua relação atual mãe-filho e os comportamentos de apego da criança. Os resultados revelaram consistências entre os cuidados recebidos pouco sensíveis, não incentivadores da autonomia, mães com representações de apego sem base segura e comportamentos de apego inseguro do filho. Estes resultados apoiam a literatura e apontam para a importância de avaliações e intervenções precoces, visando evitar a transmissão intergeracional do padrão de apego inseguro.
Ressonâncias Entre a Abordagem da Enação e a Psicologia Clínica
Authors: Gurgel Veronica Torres , Kastrup Virginia 
Published: October 2018

Este artigo objetiva realizar uma aproximação entre os estudos de Francisco Varela – desenvolvidos no campo das ciências da cognição – e a psicologia clínica. Para tanto, fazemos um breve histórico das ciências da cognição, buscando esclarecer sua heterogeneidade. Com isso, procuramos diferenciar o cognitivismo e seu desdobramento na clínica (as Terapias Cognitivo Comportamentais) da abordagem proposta por Varela e as possíveis ressonâncias na clínica psicológica orientada pelos estudos de produção de subjetividade. Toma-se como base as ideias desenvolvidas por Varela em parceria com Humberto Maturana e aquelas elaboradas na abordagem enativa, tais como as noções de autopoiese, acoplamento estrutural, aprendizagem incorporada e breakdown. Busca-se aproximar tais noções dos conceitos de produção de subjetividade, agenciamentos, territorialização e desterritorialização, de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari. O texto dá continuidade a uma discussão desenvolvida por Suely Rolni, Eduardo Passos e Regina Benevides de Barros, Virginia Kastrup, Jerusa Rocha e o próprio Guattari.
Different perspectives on changes and conflict in the transatlantic world
Authors: Costa Cátia Miriam , Carreras Luis A. Fretes 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The panel ‘Transatlantic changes within economic crisis and global conflicts’ was presented in the international relations topic area at the CEISAL Congress in Salamanca in 2016. From this panel, we decided to select the presentations that represented a broader perspective of Atlantic relations, covering international relations, economics and literature. This selection gave origin to this special issue to rethink the exchanges during our debate. The articles included embody an approach to contemporary challenges in this area of the world, contributing to the emerging literature on transatlantic relations. We intend to contribute to an interdisciplinary perception of transatlantic relations, and by focusing on relations between Latin America and the other side of the Atlantic, including Europe and the Middle East, we will move the traditional standpoint based on US/Europe relations.
Aspects of international economic policy in Brazil during the New State (1937–45) and the ‘crash’ of the Cyrilla Beverage Company of Santa Maria
Authors: Lima Bruna , Padoin Maria Medianeira 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The general theme permeating this work is related to development policies undertaken by the Brazilian government during the New State (1937–45) and the way in which they were articulated within the international scene, specifically with countries such as Germany and the United States. The link made with the Cyrilla Beverage Company of Santa Maria helps us understand that part of the negotiations for the establishment of multinational beverage companies were being made internationally, in view of the ‘crash’ of 1942, at the height of the Second World War. The authors have employed a literature analysis of works dealing with this subject, especially those on the Brazilian crash and development policies. Documents involving Cyrilla during that period were consulted and included in this work, which is part of the research being developed as part of the doctoral course in history at the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil.
