Este trabajo propone medidas de adaptación de este framework acorde a la realidad de los emprendimientos (Startups) del área TI de la región, enfrentando los problemas que se han encontrado en casos reales de empresas de la zona.
Evidence favoring a secular reduction in mandibular leeway space
Authors: Allen Tyler R. , Trojan Terry M. , Harris Edward F. 
Published: March 2017

ABSTRACTObjective:Researchers have documented secular trends in tooth size among recent generations. This study was a test for a change in mandibular leeway space.Materials and Methods:Dental casts from participants in the Denver Growth Study (23 boys, 22 girls; born in the 1930s) were compared with casts from a contemporary series of orthodontic patients (23 boys, 22 girls; born in the 1990s). All were phenotypically normal, healthy American whites.Results:Analysis of variance (accounting for sex) showed that the cumulative mandibular primary canine plus first and second primary molar size (c + m1 + m2) was slightly larger in the recent cohort (23.53 mm earlier vs 23.83 mm recent cohort; mean difference: 0.30 mm; P = .009), principally due to larger second primary molars (m2) in the recent cohort. In turn, the sum of the permanent canine and two premolars (C + P1 + P2) was significantly larger in the recent cohort (21.08 mm earlier vs 21.80 mm recent cohort; mean difference: 0.72 mm; P = .002). Larger teeth in the contemporary series produced a mean leeway space per quadrant of 2.03 mm versus 2.45 mm in the earlier cohort—a clinically and statistically significant reduction (P = .030). Some tooth types (primary second molar and permanent canine) were significantly larger in boys than in girls, but the sex difference in leeway space was not statistically significant.Conclusion:Results suggest that mandibular leeway space is decreasing in 21st century American whites and may present a challenge to orthodontists in managing tooth size–arch length discrepancies.

O trabalho teve por objetivo verificar diferenças entre rendimento do concentrado proteico e proteína bruta da folha da mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz), obtidos a partir de três variedades comerciais: branca, cascuda e vermelha. As manivas foram plantadas seguindo o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado com três repetições. Nas comparações entre as variedades, considerou coletas escalonadas pós-plantio, realizadas aos 12, 14 e 16 meses. O concentrado proteico foi obtido a partir da farinha das folhas inteiras e submetido ao método de termo - coagulação ácido e a proteína bruta pelo método padrão AOAC. Os dados foram submetidos a análise de variância e comparados pelo teste de Tukey - 5% de probabilidade. Os resultados não indicaram diferença significativa entre as médias obtidas para rendimento de concentrado proteico. Para a variável porcentagem de proteína bruta a variedade Branca foi a que apresentou maior valor, com média de 46,25%, seguida pela Cascuda e Vermelha, 44,52% e 37,30%, sucessivamente. Conclui-se que outros estudos devem avaliar condições que possam influenciar no teor de proteína foliar, como clima e solo, e, avaliar os níveis de ácido cianídrico de cada variedade, indicando qual das três é a melhor para a extração do concentrado proteico das folhas. Palavras chaves: Manihot esculenta Crantz, variedades comerciais, concentrado proteico, proteína bruta. ABSTRACT: The study aimed to assess the differences between income protein concentrate, crude protein of cassava leaf (Manihot esculenta Crantz), obtained from three commercial varieties: white, red and cascuda. The cuttings were planted following the completely randomized design with three replications. Comparisons between the varieties considered after planting staggered collections, held on 12, 14 and 16 months. The protein concentrate was obtained from flour of whole sheets and subjected to the term method - acid coagulation and crude protein by AOAC standard method. The data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey test - 5% probability. The results indicated no significant difference between the mean values obtained for protein concentrate income. For the variable percentage of crude protein White variety showed the highest, with an average of 46.25%, followed by cascuda and Red, 44.52% and 37.30%, successively. We conclude that further studies should evaluate conditions that may affect the leaf protein content, such as climate and soil, and evaluate the hydrocyanic acid levels of each variety, indicating which of the three is the best for the extraction of protein concentrate from leaves Key words: Manihot esculenta Crantz, commercial varieties, protein concentrate, crude protein.
As conexões em Saúde e Ambiente: uma abordagem interdisciplinar
Authors: Peres Sílvia Miguel de Paula , Seixas Sônia Regina da Cal 
Published: March 2017

O presente artigo trata de um debate teórico a respeito das conexões existentes entre a saúde e o meio ambiente, analisando as consequências da interação ser humano - hábitat. Como metodologia realizou-se o diálogo entre as Ciências Sociais e Naturais, apresentando o conceito de saúde ecossistêmica como fruto dessa conexão. Como principal conclusão, pensa-se que os problemas em saúde e ambiente apresentam características e qualidades heterogêneas, que devem ser investigadas na perspectiva da prevenção e da solução, a curto e longo prazo, levando em consideração as necessidades dos ecossistemas, dos grupos sociais locais, dos indivíduos e dos organismos em sua singularidade. Por esse motivo, as pesquisas científicas devem se abrir a recortes baseados em escalas temporais e espaciais distintas, considerando as incertezas a respeito de processos marcados pela vulnerabilidade socioambiental, vista em amplos sentidos. O presente estudo trabalha com paradigmas que estão se ampliando, e conduzem a enxergar o corpo e a natureza como sistemas análogos, já que interagem, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de abordagens fundamentadas na interdisciplinaridade.
Os efeitos do ciclo de vida domiciliar e as mudanças nas expectativas de retorno aos capitais entre a primeira e a segunda geração de agricultores do Cerrado Brasileiro: o caso do PADAP
Authors: Santos Mauro Augusto dos , Guedes Gilvan Ramalho , Barbieri Alisson Flávio , Machado Carla Jorge 
Published: March 2017

O Cerrado Brasileiro é um importante bioma brasileiro que vem sofrendo um acelerado processo de degradação, provocado principalmente pela rápida expansão da agropecuária. Entretanto, poucos trabalhos têm sido produzidos pelos demógrafos brasileiros associando tal fenômeno à dinâmica demográfica e, mais especificamente, ao ciclo de vida dos domicílios agrícolas. O Programa de Assentamento Dirigido do Alto Paranaíba (PADAP), implantado em 1973 no estado de Minas Gerais, foi o primeiro projeto de colonização do Cerrado implantado no país a partir da década de 1970. Este artigo analisa a relação entre o ciclo de vida dos domicílios e as estratégias de sobrevivência de uma amostra de produtores rurais e dos seus filhos. Os dados são provenientes de uma pesquisa realizada na região entre os anos de 2008 e 2009, representando 102 indivíduos (28 produtores e 74 filhos). Para identificação da associação entre ciclo de vida domiciliar e estratégias de sobrevivência, utilizou-se o método Grade of Membership (GoM), o que possibilitou a estimação de perfis multidimensionais dos produtores rurais e de seus filhos. Nossos resultados sugerem que os efeitos do ciclo de vida sobre as estratégias de subsistência variam quando se comparam os colonos e seus descendentes. Enquanto a primeira geração usou a migração como uma estratégia de sobrevivência para adquirir mais terra e estabelecer-se em uma nova fronteira aberta, uma parte de sua descendência migrou para outros estados para investir em sua educação formal. Outro grupo de filhos permaneceu na fronteira, embora também tenham adotado uma estratégia de sobrevivência diferente da adotada por seus pais. Esse grupo predominantemente se engajou em atividades fora da propriedade familiar, principalmente no comércio local e no setor de serviços. Estas mudanças internas das estratégias intergeracionais sugerem que a fronteira internalizou a dinâmica do mercado urbano, permitindo aos filhos que não migraram se inserirem em vários setores econômicos.
Produção parlamentar municipal: os projetos de indicação*
Authors: Rangel Alan 
Published: March 2017

Este trabalho está voltado para compreender um recurso legislativo pouco estudado pelos estudiosos dos Estudos Legislativos, os Projetos de Indicação. Este dispositivo formal nos oferece uma ferramenta importante para compreender a orientação dos vereadores quanto ao uso desta proposição. Este instrumento legal tem como função sugerir ou indicar uma demanda aos órgãos competentes. Nosso estudo voltou-se para analisar o Legislativo municipal de Salvador. Na literatura atual sobre a produção legislativa das unidades subnacionais, a ênfase das pesquisas recai mais sobre os estados brasileiros, deixando pouca margem ao município. E quando há trabalhos sobre os municípios, a literatura dominante - em geral - têm privilegiado o eixo Sul-Sudeste.
A train to nowhere: acesso à justiça e interesse público na construção de uma política pública nos Estados Unidos
Authors: Filgueiras Márcio De Paula 
Published: March 2017

Neste texto vou apresentar alguns aspectos de um conflito que acompanhei na Califórnia, entre 2010 e 2011, em que representantes de algumas cidades localizada na Baía de San Fancisco, como Palo Alto e Atherton, desafiaram judicialmente uma agência estadual porque o projeto do trem de alta velocidade (High Speed Rail Project) que ligaria Los Angeles a San Francisco incluiria uma rota que atravessaria suas vizinhanças, causando efeitos ambientais e financeiros indesejados. Ações legais deste tipo, voltadas para a proteção do interesse público, são conhecidas naquele país pelo termo genérico public interest litigation. A partir deste caso, mostrarei alguns aspectos dos modelos de acesso a direitos e das noções de interesse público que podem ser visualizada em ação nos Estados Unidos. No final do artigo apresentarei um contraste, ainda que limitado, com o que pude observar no Brasil, a respeito da administração judicial de conflitos coletivos.

RIGHTINGS: ETHICS AND HUMAN SEX VARIATION
Authors: Mader Mary Beth 
Published: March 2017

Abstract This review assesses a rare and insightful philosophical examination of the ethics of the medical management of sex-atypical children. In Making Sense of Intersex, Ellen K. Feder crafts an ethics that would shift several common foci of the contemporary debate on her topic: from questions of gender to the ethics of normalization; from individual or parental autonomy to a general corporeal vulnerability; and from parental medical proxy rights to the interdependency of parent-child relations. The review identifies some seemingly unavoidable conundrums that would remain unsolved after such shifts: the continuing role of gender in normalizing medical aims, the utility of an undifferentiated concept of vulnerability in medical decision making, and the place of cosmetic medicine in general.
Combination of Disease Resistance, Drought Tolerance, and Dollar Value among Runner and Virginia-Type Peanut Cultivars in Georgia.
Authors: Branch W. D. , Fletcher S. M. 
Published: March 2017

ABSTRACT
With increasing production cost, southeast U.S. peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) growers are continually seeking to lower inputs to enhance economical return and sustainability of their farming operation. Utilization of peanut cultivars with the best combination of disease resistance, drought tolerance, and greatest dollar value return would be beneficial. Fifteen peanut cultivars were evaluated for 5-years (2011–15) and seventeen cultivars were evaluated for 4-years (2012–15) with minimum inputs and without irrigation at two locations in Georgia. Each year, minimum inputs for disease control included only three fungicide sprays at recommended rates on a 28 d schedule beginning 37 d after planting. No insecticide, nematocides, miticides, or irrigation were applied during the growing seasons each year. ‘Georgia-06G', ‘Georgia-12Y', ‘Georgia-13M', ‘Georgia-14N', and Florida-EP ‘113’ had the lowest TSWV and total disease incidence (disease resistance) among the ten runner-type cultivars for both Georgia locations; whereas, ‘Bailey', ‘Georgia-08V', and ‘Georgia-11J' had the least disease incidence among the five virginia-type cultivars. Similarly, Georgia-13M, Georgia-06G, and Georgia-12Y had the greatest gross dollar value return per hectare (drought tolerance) among the runner-types; whereas, Georgia-08V and Georgia-11J had the greatest dollar values per hectare among the virginia-type cultivars at both Georgia locations in this four and five-year study, respectively.
A review of family caregiving intervention trials in oncology
Authors: Ferrell Betty , Wittenberg Elaine 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThis article contains a review of literature published from 2010 to 2016 on family caregiving in oncology. An analysis of 810 citations resulted in 50 randomized trials. These trials describe the need to prepare family caregivers for the complex role they play in cancer care. Several studies have demonstrated improved quality of life for family caregivers and improved emotional support from interventions. Several studies addressed communication and relational intimacy, which are key concerns. An additional focus of these trials was in the area of caregiving tasks and ways to diminish the burden of caregiving and preparedness for this role. Further research is needed in this area given the shift to outpatient care and as family caregivers become the primary providers of care. Future research should include expanding tested models of family caregiver support in clinical practice and in diverse populations. CA Cancer J Clin 2017. © 2017 American Cancer Society.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the relationship between star formation and structure, using a mass-complete sample of 27,893 galaxies at 0.5 < z < 2.5 selected from 3D-HST. We confirm that star-forming galaxies are larger than quiescent galaxies at fixed stellar mass (

). However, in contrast with some simulations, there is only a weak relation between star formation rate (SFR) and size within the star-forming population: when dividing into quartiles based on residual offsets in SFR, we find that the sizes of star-forming galaxies in the lowest quartile are 0.27 ± 0.06 dex smaller than the highest quartile. We show that 50% of star formation in galaxies at fixed

takes place within a narrow range of sizes (0.26 dex). Taken together, these results suggest that there is an abrupt cessation of star formation after galaxies attain particular structural properties. Confirming earlier results, we find that central stellar density within a 1 kpc fixed physical radius is the key parameter connecting galaxy morphology and star formation histories: galaxies with high central densities are red and have increasingly lower SFR/

, whereas galaxies with low central densities are blue and have a roughly constant (higher) SFR/

at a given redshift. We find remarkably little scatter in the average trends and a strong evolution of >0.5 dex in the central density threshold correlated with quiescence from z ∼ 0.7–2.0. Neither a compact size nor high-n are sufficient to assess the likelihood of quiescence for the average galaxy; instead, the combination of these two parameters together with

results in a unique quenching threshold in central density/velocity.
Elongation of Flare Ribbons
Authors: Qiu Jiong , Longcope Dana W. , Cassak Paul A. , Priest Eric R. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
We present an analysis of the apparent elongation motion of flare ribbons along the polarity inversion line (PIL), as well as the shear of flare loops in several two-ribbon flares. Flare ribbons and loops spread along the PIL at a speed ranging from a few to a hundred km s−1. The shear measured from conjugate footpoints is consistent with the measurement from flare loops, and both show the decrease of shear toward a potential field as a flare evolves and ribbons and loops spread along the PIL. Flares exhibiting fast bidirectional elongation appear to have a strong shear, which may indicate a large magnetic guide field relative to the reconnection field in the coronal current sheet. We discuss how the analysis of ribbon motion could help infer properties in the corona where reconnection takes place.

Abstract
Introduction: Childhood malignancy, although a rare phenomenon, is still the leading cause of mortality in the pediatric population. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative for the achievement of optimal prognosis. The study of factors facilitating the delay in diagnosis is thus of utmost importance, to both shorten the diagnostic delay and allow for early therapeutic intervention, facilitating a higher prognosis. Objective: To assess the referral pattern and the identification of potential delays in the diagnosis of childhood malignancy in a developing country. Methodology: The study was conducted in the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology department of Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai, India. The study included randomly selected 70 pediatric patients diagnosed with a hematological malignancy, from July 2012-August 2013. The parents were interviewed using a prepared questionnaire about patient symptomatology, interaction with healthcare providers, final diagnosis, and referral details. Data were statistically analyzed using Statistica® (STATsoft). Results: 70 patients were included in the study (69% boys, 31% girls). The diagnostic delay was primarily due to the delay experienced in the healthcare system, with a mean delay of 26 days (Median: 18; Range: 5-39). Those from a lower socioeconomic background and whom opted for a non-allopathic treatment approach experienced higher diagnostic delays. Diagnostic time was significantly shorter for those who visited a pediatrician versus the patients who visited a general physician or super specialties (P = 0.043). Conclusions: Diagnostic delay is often associated with an extensive disease presentation, an aggressive therapeutic approach, and has a negative impact on patient prognosis. To lower mortality rate and facilitate a favourable prognosis, diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion and immediate intervention.

Abstract
Background: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is common in cancer patients particularly hematologic malignancies due to intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy. It is an important cause of morbidity, mortality and treatment delays. The risk is greater in patients with ANC < 500/ mm3 and increases dramatically in those with ANC < 100/ mm3 and duration of neutropenia more than 1 week. Aims and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, demographic characteristics, clinical profile, mortality, outcome and factors affecting the outcome in patients with febrile neutropenia (FN) admitted at our Center between January 2011 and November 2012. Materials and Methods: All cases of FN admitted in our Institute between January 2011 and November 2012 were analyzed. Data was analyzed using IBM statistic SPSS version 19. Results: A total of 333 episodes of FN were reviewed. Hematologic malignancies accounted for 299 (89.7%) episodes and 88% of all the episodes had grade 4 neutropenia. There was a significant association noted between high serum bilirubin, creatinine and outcome. Isolation of an organism from blood culture, positive findings on chest X-ray and fungal infection was associated with higher mortality . Association between transfusion requirements and outcome was analyzed and it was observed that patients who had multiple component transfusions vs single component ones were at a significantly higher risk of death. There were only 7 deaths noted among the patient population. Conclusion: Leukemias are the leading cause of FN at our Institute. Higher bilirubin, creatinine, chest imaging favoring pneumonia, positive isolates and multiple transfusions had significant association with mortality. Large scale prospective studies are needed to determine the association of preemptive therapy with higher mortality. The outcome of high risk FN in this study is favorable.
