Published: July 2016

We have developed a regional-scale 3D geologic model, highlighting the Mesoproterozoic Sullivan time horizon (approximately 1470 Ma) throughout the Purcell Anticlinorium in the East Kootenay region. This 3D geospatial model of the region is constrained with an extensive surface and subsurface database of stratigraphic, structural, and geophysical observations distributed throughout the study area. This modeling exercise was conducted over a four-year period from 2011 to 2015 in which several iterations of the model were produced. The final model includes what is locally referred to as the Lower-Middle Aldridge stratigraphic contact (LMC), a map unit at the very top of the lower Aldridge Formation where the Sullivan world-class Pb-Zn-Ag deposit is located. Local mineral exploration initiatives focus on this key exploration target horizon, which is now modeled in 3D. The regional LMC model provides a much needed geospatial reference used to characterize and understand sedimentary exhalative, a type of ore deposit (SEDEX) ore systems as well as a key 3D exploration target. Developing regional 3D geologic models for orogenic interiors such as the Purcell region, and older shield regions is a challenge. This is largely due to data sparsity at depth, lack of standards for 3D data collection, storage, integration, and interpretation practice. Current algorithms use only a partial set of available observational or knowledge constraints and exist in workflows that do not allow for complicated geologic event histories. We have mitigated some of these challenges with a new implicit algorithm (SURFE), applied in this Purcell case study, to estimate major regional faults and horizons through variably distributed and clustered data. These modeled geologic elements are then fed into the SKUA structural and stratigraphic workflow to produce the volumetric model. Reflection on the general 3D modeling workflow for these regional situations highlights the need for embedding more knowledge constraints into the process.

Published: July 2016

Purpose Resource limitations in low- and middle-income countries make the management of CNS tumors challenging, particularly in Brazil, a country with major disparities in socioeconomic status and access to health care. We aimed to evaluate cancer-related neurosurgical procedures in the public health care system. Methods On the basis of Brazil’s public health system database, we collected data for neurosurgical procedures related to CNS tumors performed between January 2008 and November 2013. Information about the number of procedures, costs, length of stay, and number of inpatient deaths were analyzed for each state and then correlated to the state-specific population, gross domestic product per capita, and number of procedures. Results In all, 57,361 procedures were performed, the majority of them in the Southeast region. The mean length of hospital stay was 14.4 days, but longer hospital stay was reported for patients treated in the North. The inpatient mortality rate was 7.11%. Mortality rates decreased as the number of procedures ( P < .001), gross domestic product per capita ( P < .001), or state population increased ( P < .001). On multivariate analysis, only the number of procedures (odds ratio, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.91 to 0.96; P < .001) and state population (odds ratio, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.38; P < .001) had an independent association with mortality. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate disparities in CNS tumor surgery in a middle-income country, confirming that regional disparities exist and that clinical and economic outcomes correlate with income level, number of procedures, and state population.

BACKGROUND:
Discharge diagnoses are used to track national trends and patterns of maternal morbidity. There are few data regarding the validity of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes used for this purpose. The goal of our study was to try to better understand the validity of administrative data being used to monitor and assess trends in morbidity.

METHODS:
Hospital stay billing records were queried to identify all delivery admissions at the Massachusetts General Hospital for the time period 2001 to 2011 and the University of Michigan Health System for the time period 2005 to 2011. From this, we identified patients with ICD-9-Clinical Modification (CM) diagnosis and procedure codes indicative of severe maternal morbidity. Each patient was classified with 1 of 18 different medical/obstetric categories (conditions or procedures) based on the ICD-9-CM code that was recorded. Within each category, 20 patients from each institution were selected at random, and the corresponding medical charts were reviewed to determine whether the ICD-9-CM code was assigned correctly. The percentage of correct codes for each of 18 preselected clinical categories was calculated yielding a positive predictive value (PPV) and 99% confidence interval (CI).

RESULTS:
The overall number of correctly assigned ICD-9-CM codes, or PPV, was 218 of 255 (86%; CI, 79%–90%) and 154 of 188 (82%; CI, 74%–88%) at Massachusetts General Hospital and University of Michigan Health System, respectively (combined PPV, 372/443 [84%; CI, 79–88%]). Codes within 4 categories (Hysterectomy, Pulmonary edema, Disorders of fluid, electrolyte and acid–base balance, and Sepsis) had a 99% lower confidence limit ≥75%. Codes within 8 additional categories demonstrated a 99% lower confidence limit between 74% and 50% (Acute respiratory distress, Ventilation, Other complications of obstetric surgery, Disorders of coagulation, Cardiomonitoring, Acute renal failure, Thromboembolism, and Shock). Codes within 6 clinical categories demonstrated a 99% lower confidence limit <50% (Puerperal cerebrovascular disorders, Conversion of cardiac rhythm, Acute heart failure [includes arrest and fibrillation], Eclampsia, Neurotrauma, and Severe anesthesia complications).

CONCLUSIONS:
ICD-9-CM codes capturing severe maternal morbidity during delivery hospitalization demonstrate a range of PPVs. The PPV was high when objective supportive evidence, such as laboratory values or procedure documentation supported the ICD-9-CM code. The PPV was low when greater judgment, interpretation, and synthesis of the clinical data (signs and symptoms) was required to support a code, such as with the category Severe anesthesia complications. As a result, these codes should be used for administrative research with more caution compared with codes primarily defined by objective data.
Statin (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor)-based therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection-related diseases in the era of direct-acting antiviral agents
Authors: Kishta Sara Sobhy , El-Shenawy Reem , Kishta Sobhy Ahmed 
Published: July 2016

Recent improvements have been made in the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with the introduction of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs). However, despite successful viral clearance, many patients continue to have HCV-related disease progression. Therefore, new treatments must be developed to achieve viral clearance and prevent the risk of HCV-related diseases. In particular, the use of pitavastatin together with DAAs may improve the antiviral efficacy as well as decrease the progression of liver fibrosis and the incidence of HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma. To investigate the management methods for HCV-related diseases using pitavastatin and DAAs, clinical trials should be undertaken. However, concerns have been raised about potential drug interactions between statins and DAAs. Therefore, pre-clinical trials using a replicon system, human hepatocyte-like cells, human neurons and human cardiomyocytes from human-induced pluripotent stem cells should be conducted. Based on these pre-clinical trials, an optimal direct-acting antiviral agent could be selected for combination with pitavastatin and DAAs. Following the pre-clinical trial, the combination of pitavastatin and the optimal direct-acting antiviral agent should be compared to other combinations of DAAs (e.g., sofosbuvir and velpatasvir) according to the antiviral effect on HCV infection, HCV-related diseases and cost-effectiveness.

Dryland cereals and legumes are important crops in farming systems across the world. Yet they are frequently neglected among the priorities for international agricultural research and development, often due to lack of information on their magnitude and extent. Given what we know about the global distribution of dryland cereals and legumes, what regions should be high priority for research and development to improve livelihoods and food security? This research evaluated the geographic dimensions of these crops and the farming systems where they are found worldwide. The study employed geographic information science and data to assess the key farming systems and regions for these crops. Dryland cereal and legume crops should be given high priority in 18 farming systems worldwide, where their cultivated area comprises more than 160 million ha. These regions include the dryer areas of South Asia, West and East Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, Central America and other parts of Asia. These regions are prone to drought and heat stress, have limiting soil constraints, make up half of the global population and account for 60 percent of the global poor and malnourished. The dryland cereal and legume crops and farming systems merit more research and development attention to improve productivity and address development problems. This project developed an open access dataset and information resource that provides the basis for future analysis of the geographic dimensions of dryland cereals and legumes.
A Dupla linguagem nas Pesquisas Nacionais: Pesquisadores Brasileiros devem publicar em Inglês ou Português?
Authors: Oliveira Gislene Farias de , Farias Athena De Albuquerque 
Published: July 2016

Ainda parece um tabu, publicar-se em inglês num periódico nacional. Aliás, são poucos os periódicos que aceitam a dupla linguagem em uma mesma edição, quando estes não tem uma versão específica em outra língua.É normal e evidente que brasileiros publiquem bem mais em português, embora a publicação em língua inglesa parece ser mais difundida. Isso porque as bases de dados em todo o mundo, estão cada vez mais, valorizando a publicação em inglês. Há uma necessidade de indexação, pois as suas revistas, a exemplo das bases SCOPUS, ISI-Thomson Reuter, Medline e, a base de dados SciELO no Brasil, insistem na importância da publicação em inglês.
Repercussões Psicossomáticas na Epiderme Humana
Authors: Barroso Marianna Leite , Macêdo Maria Ayrlles 
Published: July 2016

Na atualidade, parece haver um incremento quanto aos estudos que envolvem uma integração entre aspectos biológicos e psicológicos, mais especificamente entre corpo e estado psíquico. O presente estudo pretende analisar, através de revisão teórica, achados teóricos da Psicologia associados a dermatologia, de maneira a permitir reflexão crítica a respeito do tema e, vislumbrar seus novos rumos. A Psicologia quando associada a dermatologia, compõe um ramo das ciências que estuda problemas dermatológicos, que são causados e/ou influenciados por fatores psicológicos. Sabe-se que há uma comunicação entre o sistema nervoso, que torna a pele altamente sensível às emoções, independente da nossa consciência. Dessa forma, a pele é muitas vezes uma expressão dos nossos sentimentos, mesmo quando não estamos cientes de tal fato. Conclui-se que ao tratarmos sobre as doenças de pele, é preciso considerar também o ser humano como um ser integral, onde aspectos sociais, psicológicos e biológicos estão em constante interação.

Authors: Souza Francisco Georgi de , Cassundé Fernanda Roda de Souza Araújo 
Published: July 2016

Este trabalho teve como fundamento diagnosticar as competências de gestores das Unidades Judiciárias de três órgãos, quais sejam Tribunal de Justiça de Pernambuco, Tribunal de Justiça da Bahia e Tribunal Regional Federal, delimitados na área do sertão pernambucano e na cidade de Juazeiro-BA. Com esteio na literatura sobre gestão baseada em competências e sobre competências gerenciais, especialmente voltada para a administração pública, buscou-se identificar quais as competências que, na visão de gestores das unidades judiciárias, são as mais importantes para a organização e qual o nível de domínio que esses gerentes apresentam sobre tais competências. Estabelecendo-se correlação entre importância e domínio, buscou-se a identificação das prioridades de desenvolvimento e a identificação das lacunas de competência. A pesquisa de teor quantitativo teve como amostra o total de 30 indivíduos extraída de 34 questionários enviados a 07 comarcas do Sertão de Pernambuco, à Comarca de Juazeiro, e ainda ao Tribunal Regional Federal da 5ª Região. A partir da análise dos dados, observou-se que as competências consideradas mais importantes e de maior domínio são aquelas que diz respeito à administração pública voltada para a satisfação do usuário da justiça, à observância dos princípios constitucionais, e as referentes à postura e à gestão pública baseada na ética.
Sobre la legitimidad de la opinión pública como sustento de la política penal.
Authors: Velandia Montes Rafael 
Published: July 2016

Hoy en día son frecuentes propuestas de reformas normativas de carácter penal que sostienen ser la respuesta a los reclamos de la mayoría de la ciudadanía. En el presente planteamiento se afirma que una gran parte de la sociedad exige, sobre todo, la ampliación del campo de acción del Derecho Penal por medio de la criminalización de diversas conductas generadoras de conflictos sociales y el aumento de penas para los comportamientos que ya se encuentran tipificados como delito. En este trabajo se hace una consideración sobre la legitimidad de dichas invocaciones en las propuestas de cambio legislativo penal.
Tensión entre derechos y principios : consideraciones a la interpretación judicial de la moral en la praxis del derecho.
Authors: León Molina Jorge Enrique 
Published: July 2016

Dworkin afirma que todas las proposiciones jurídicas tienen un papel en la compleja red que compone el sistema jurídico y, además, son capaces de tener un sentido determinado en dicha red; así las cosas, en los casos en que los jueces enfrenten problemas que incluyan estándares morales como la tortura, el aborto o la eutanasia en virtud de los cuales no se puede determinar la verdad o la falsedad de la proposición tampoco es posible definir si es jurídica o no, a la hora de determinar su importancia práctica.
Es conveniente establecer si los criterios morales pueden indicar la verdad de las normas jurídicas (entendidas como proposiciones jurídicas) y, en caso de que sean ciertas, en qué eventos específicos pueden serlo. Lo que se procura es determinar si los jueces tienen en cuenta criterios morales para decidir si una determinada proposición jurídica es verdadera.
Violencia intrafamiliar : mecanismos e instrumentos internacionales.
Authors: Amézquita Romero Germán Alberto 
Published: July 2016

En materia de protección a la familia como núcleo de la sociedad, el estado colombiano ha suscrito y ratificado compromisos para que la mujer y los niños tengan una protección especial. El estudio se desarrolló con el fin de recoger toda la información atinente a los convenios que el país ha suscrito y ratificado con organismos internacionales encargados de velar por la protección de los derechos humanos, expresos en la Carta Política de 1991 e incluidos como bloque de constitucionalidad. A partir de una revisión documental y bibliográfica se pretende demostrar que, aun con dicha normatividad, no se ha tenido la capacidad para evitar que cada día se maltraten y asesinen mujeres y niños, lo que rompe la paz y armonía de la familia en Colombia.
España : gobernanza y transparencia en el escenario local.
Authors: Bello Paredes Santiago A. 
Published: July 2016

Este trabajo estudia la evolución de las entidades locales en España desde 1812 hasta la actualidad como instrumentos de participación de los ciudadanos. Superada la fase de una concepción liberal, en la cual solo se fundaban en la libertad individual de las personas y estaban subordinadas al Estado, en la Constitución española de 1978 se ha llegado a su configuración como instrumentos de participación representativa de los vecinos en la gestión de los asuntos públicos y sin subordinación al Estado. El reto de hoy es fomentar la participación directa con base en el paradigma de la gobernanza y con herramientas como la transparencia.
Oral production outcomes in CLIL: an attempt to manage amount of exposure
Authors: Gallardo del Puerto Francisco , Gómez Lacabex Esther 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThis study aims at testing the benefits of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) on oral skills in English by comparing a group of secondary school CLIL learners to two Non-CLIL groups matched for amount of instruction – a two-year-ahead group and a peer group. This sampling design is an attempt to tease the effects of exposure, age and CLIL variables apart, something which has not been addressed in most previous CLIL research. The analyses (holistic evaluation, amount and density of production, and use of compensatory strategies) of participants’ story tellings indicate that CLIL learners’ oral abilities are superior to those of Non-CLIL groups, especially to those of their exposure-matched peer counterparts. Overall, CLIL learners produce denser and richer oral narrations characterized by better content, vocabulary, grammar and fluency, and a marginal use of the first language. These results could be read as indicative of the beneficial effect of CLIL instruction itself on oral production when intervening variables such as amount of exposure and age are managed. In addition, particular attention is given to the lack of positive effect of CLIL on pronunciation.
Combat at the Keys: Women and Battle Pieces for the Piano during the American Civil War
Authors: Morgan Elizabeth 
Published: July 2016

During the American Civil War, women in the parlor imagined life at the front through music, playing pieces and singing songs on topics related to the conflict. Among the genres that they performed were battle pieces for the piano, episodic works that depict incidents of battle and their outcome in victory. These pieces constituted a genre that had long been a favorite of female amateur performers, their lineage beginning with Frantisek Kotzwara's 1788 Battle of Prague, which remained steadily popular throughout the nineteenth century.
This article examines Civil War battle pieces by tracing their roots to Kotzwara's famous piece. By constructing a reception history of that work as it appears in nineteenth-century literary sources, the article retrieves some alternatives to the abundant satirical readings of the Battle of Prague in period fiction. It suggests that Civil War battle music played several important roles in the lives of its players. The music invited women to imagine and embody the conflicts on the battlefield, to challenge society's expectations of women as both pianists and as contributors to the war effort in public capacities, and to reflect on the costs of the war. The article goes on to examine a battle piece by a female composer and to consider amateur women's performances of battle repertoire during the war years. Finally, drawing inspiration from the accounts in fiction of Kotzwara's Battle of Prague, it concludes by imagining a woman's performance of a battle piece on the heels of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Published: July 2016

Neste estudo procuramos validar a escala Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Scale numa amostra de adolescentes portugueses. Esta escala mede níveis de orientação da comparação social. Participaram no estudo 238 estudantes portugueses, com idades entre os 13 e os 18 anos (M = 15.43, DP = 1.76). Verificou-se que a estrutura da escala estava de acordo com a versão original do instrumento, dividindo-se em duas dimensões com índices satisfatórios de consistência interna: Opiniões e Aptidões. A dimensão Opiniões correlacionou-se positivamente com a Autoestima e o Materialismo, e a dimensão Aptidões apresentou correlações positivas com o Self-comparado, o Materialismo e a Impulsividade na compra. No que diz respeito às diferenças de sexo, as raparigas apresentaram médias superiores na dimensão de Opiniões e os rapazes em Aptidões. Os resultados confirmam a adequação da versão portuguesa da escala para avaliar a tendência para a comparação social em adolescentes.

Published: July 2016

Este texto descreve o caminho de uma pesquisadora procurando entender o comportamento. De um ponto inicial em que via na psicologia apenas o lado humano da prática clínica passei a compreender, através do Professor Keller, a abrangência da análise comportamental, em seu aspecto experimental e biológico. Meu trabalho de pesquisa sobre drogas psicoativas focalizou esse universo, e acentuou para mim a importância das neurociências. Atualmente, vejo a convergência entre análise comportamental e neurobiologia como um caminho promissor para o progresso da nossa ciência. Olhando para trás, vejo este percurso como a clara resultante de uma afortunada convivência com mestres e alunos.Palavras-chave: análise comportamental, neurobiologia, drogas psicoativas, ensino
