Authors: Marcilese Mercedes , Rodrigues Erica dos Santos , Augusto Marina Rosa Ana , Henrique Késsia da Silva 
Published: November 2017

Resumo: Este artigo investiga o papel de distância linear entre sujeito e verbo e de marcação morfológica de número no sujeito e no verbo no processamento da concordância verbal variável no português brasileiro (Ex.: Policiais Militares, após denúncia, prendeØ/ prendem traficante). Tomando como ponto de partida estudos sobre o processamento da concordância – baseados em dados de compreensão e de produção dos denominados erros de atração (Ex.: O tecido das cortinas rasgaram) – e resultados de pesquisas sobre a concordância variável realizadas no contexto da Sociolinguística Variacionista, foi elaborado um experimento de leitura conduzido por meio de uma maze task. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a distância tem impacto na computação dos traços de número no verbo: tempos de reação significativamente menores foram registrados nas condições de distância longa. Além disso, a marcação de número do sujeito (singular/plural) e do verbo também se mostrou relevante. Sujeitos plurais parecem ser mantidos na memória de forma mais robusta e estabelecer restrições mais pesadas na computação da concordância do que sujeitos singulares, mesmo no contexto de falantes expostos à variação linguística em que marcas não redundantes são atestadas.Palavras-chave: concordância variável; processamento da concordância; distância linear; marcação morfológica.Abstract: This paper investigates the role of linear distance between subject and verb and number marking for the processing of Brazilian Portuguese variable subject-verb agreement (e.g. Policiais Militares, após denúncia, prendeØ/ prendem traficante). On the basis of production and comprehension studies about attraction errors (E.g. O tecido das cortinas rasgaram) and the findings of Sociolinguistics, we conducted a reading experiment making use of a maze task. The results suggest that distance has an impact on the computation of the number features on the verb: with shorter reaction times under longer distance conditions. Results concerning number marking (singular/plural) were also significant: plural subjects representations appear to be more persistent in memory and impose heavier constraints on agreement computation in comparison to singular subjects, even for speakers in the context of linguistic variation concerning non-redundant marking.Keywords: variable agreement; agreement processing; linear distance; markedness.
PARA ALÉM DA INÉRCIA DE AFLUÊNCIA

Global warming poses unprecedented dangers to humankind, and it is a product of human activities: Production and consumption of fossil fuels, accompanied by steadily increasing levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Some of the predicted consequences of warming are already upon us; yet more catastrophic effects will be experienced in the future. Two behavioral processes operate to maintain fossil fuel use: 1) Delay discounting studies suggest that relatively lesser-valued outcomes (e.g., driving private cars) that are available now are likely to be preferred to the value of a sustainable planet for all humankind, to be achieved in the indefinite future; and 2) ongoing fossil-fueled activities are likely to be highly persistent because of the long and rich history of reinforcement for individuals (e.g., comfort and convenience) and for the fossil-fuel industry as a whole (e.g., jobs and profits). One way to counter that persistence is to tax greenhouse gas emissions, which can shift current incentives away from fossil-fuel based energy toward renewables, even though the ultimate slowing of climate change may be remote. Carbon-tax contingencies are similar to those employed to treat problem behavior; a successful example of this approach is described.Key words: Global warming, fossil fuel consumption, carbon tax, delay discounting, behavioral momentum

The Validation Path of Hypoxia PET Imaging: Focus on Brain Tumours
Authors: Quartuccio Natale , Asselin Marie-Claude 
Published: November 2017

Background:
Gliomas are brain tumours arising from the glia, the supportive tissue
of the central nervous system (CNS), and constitute the commonest primary malignant
brain tumours. Gliomas are graded from grade I to IV according to their appearance under
the microscope. One of the most significant adverse features of high-grade gliomas is hypoxia,
a biological phenomenon that develops when the oxygen concentration becomes insufficient
to guarantee the normal tissue functions. Since tumour hypoxia influences negatively
patient outcome and targeting hypoxia has potential therapeutic implications, there is
currently great interest in imaging techniques measuring hypoxia.

Objectives:
The aim of this review is to provide up to date evidence on the radiotracers
available for measuring hypoxia in brain tumours by means of positron emission tomography
(PET), the most extensively investigated imaging approach to quantify hypoxia.

Methods:
The review is based on preclinical and clinical papers and describes the validation
status of the different available radiotracers.

Results:
To date, [F-18] fluoromisonidazole ([18F]FMISO) remains the most widely used
radiotracer for imaging hypoxia in patients with brain tumours, but experience with other
radiotracers has expanded in the last two decades. Validation of hypoxia radiotracers is still
on-going and essential before these radiopharmaceuticals can become widely used in the
clinical setting.

Conclusion:
Availability of a non-invasive imaging method capable of reliably measuring
and mapping different levels of oxygen in brain tumours would provide the critical means of
selecting patients that may benefit from tailored treatment strategies targeting hypoxia.
Molecular Mechanisms Triggered by Bile Acids on Intestinal Ca2+ Absorption
Authors: Marchionatti Ana , Rivoira Maria , Rodriguez Valeria , Perez Adriana , Tolosa  de Talamoni Nori 
Published: November 2017

Background:
Bile acids (BAs) are among the main components of bile. Lately, they are
also considered important signaling molecules, not only by regulating their own synthesis, but also
having a role in several metabolic diseases.

Objective:
In this review we focus on the effect of sodium deoxycholate (NaDOC), ursodeoxycholic
(UDCA) and litocholic (LCA) acids and their combination upon the intestinal Ca2+ absorption. To
make clear the actions of those BAs on this physiological process, an overview of current information
about the mechanisms by which the intestinal Ca2+ occurs is described.

Methods:
The PubMed database was searched until 2017, using the keywords bile acids, NaDOC,
UDCA and LCA and redox state, apoptosis, autophagy and intestinal Ca2+ absorption.

Results:
The modulation of redox state, apoptosis and autophagy are mechanisms that are involved in
the action of BAs on intestinal Ca2+ absorption. Although the mechanisms are still not completely understood,
we provide the latest knowledge regarding the effect of BAs on intestinal Ca2+ absorption.

Conclusion:
The response of the intestine to absorb Ca2+ is affected by BAs, but it is different according
to the type and dose of BA. When there is a single administration, NaDOC has an inhibitory effect,
UDCA is an stimulator whereas LCA does not have any influence. However, the combination of BAs
modifies the response. Either UDCA or LCA protects the intestine against the oxidative injury caused
by NaDOC by blocking the oxidative/nitrosative stress, apoptosis and autophagy.

Numerical Models to Predict the Collapse Behavior of RC Columns and Frames
Authors: Lin Xuchuan , Lu Xinzheng 
Published: November 2017

Introduction:
Blind analysis contests for predicting the results of several collapse tests on RC frame structure, were carried out by the Collapse Prevention Committee of Architectural Society of China in 2011. This paper presents the adopted numerical models for the collapse simulations of four RC column tests and one RC frame test.

Methods:
The columns and beams in the RC frame were modeled by beam elements using the fiber model of THUFIBER program. The confined effect of the stirrups in the square RC column was taken into account by using the backbone curve of confined concrete. The methods to determine the key parameters of the adopted model were introduced.

Results and Conclusion:
The prediction results were compared with the test results, and the adopted models exhibited good predictions for the general behavior of both the RC columns and frame. The model was proposed for investigating the collapse mechanism of RC frames.

Fastener Scaffold Stability Analysis and Experimental Research Under Non-Uniform Distributed Load
Authors: Chen Dong , Wang Yuzhuo , He Xiping 
Published: November 2017

Introduction:
An experiment was carried out on the basis of material nonlinearity, geometry nonlinearity and semi rigid fasteners for the internal force distribution and transfer rules of the scaffold.

Methods:
This paper presents results from a set of numerical studies on the influence of the random imperfection method, the interaction of various imperfections and the most disadvantageous stability limit load.

Result and Conclusion:
Data from numerical studies indicate that stress at the top of the vertical bar was larger within the scope of load; and the horizontal bar and brace participated in the work of the scaffold. The internal force that came through the two types of bars enabled us to realize the redistribution in every vertical bar in order to decrease the stress from the top to the bottom of the vertical bars and involve them in the work of the scaffold. Data from numerical studies also indicates that these imperfections all interact with each other and the load distribution also influences the scaffold’s stability.
Laboratory investigation of hygrothermal monitoring of hemp-concrete walls

Published: November 2017

In the global will of reducing fossil energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission in the building sector, the use of bio-based insulating materials is gaining interest thanks to their profitable properties and their suitability for the renovation of ancient buildings made out of unconventional materials. However, such materials are still lacking of characterization, and more precisely of on-site evaluation, as no complete measurement protocol is available. The starting point to fill this gap would be to set-up a protocol for whole building instrumentation, and this paper is investigating questions arisen in that goal, and more precisely regarding the impact of sensor locations on the assessment of key parameters. For that purpose, instrumented polystyrene and hemp concrete wallets of dimensions 0.9 × 0.9 × 0.1 m3 with well-known thermal and hydric characteristics are tested within a double climatic chamber. The impact of temperature sensor locations and implementations are tested through indirect estimation of the thermal conductivities of the materials composing the wallets. The effect of the hygrothermal processes on the measurement of thermal performance is also investigated through the analysis of the wall global transmittance. These results finally allow to provide some recommendations concerning the on-site instrumentation of hemp concrete walls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine survival times of selected dogs with metastatic (stage III) osteosarcoma, whether disease-free interval (DFI) was associated with survival time after diagnosis of stage III disease (ie, stage III survival time), and whether a survival benefit of metastasectomy existed.
DESIGN Retrospective case series with nested cohort study.
ANIMALS 194 client-owned dogs treated for histologically confirmed appendicular osteosarcoma from 1997 through 2009.
PROCEDURES Dogs were included if they had stage I or II osteosarcoma at the time of initial evaluation, had amputation of the affected appendage and ≥ 1 dose of chemotherapy afterward, and developed metastasis within the follow-up period or prior to death. Data collected from the medical records included signalment, primary tumor location, clinical and laboratory findings, whether metastasectomy was performed, and outcome. Various factors were examined for associations with outcome.
RESULTS Dogs that received no treatment for the metastasis had a median survival time between 49 and 57 days after diagnosis of stage III osteosarcoma. Duration of the preceding DFI had no association with this period. Metastasectomy alone was associated with a longer median stage III survival time (232 days) than no metastasectomy (49 days). Among all dogs identified as qualifying for pulmonary metastasectomy on the basis of < 3 pulmonary nodules visible on thoracic radiographs and a DFI > 275 days (n = 21), a survival advantage was also identified for those that actually received pulmonary metastasectomy (6).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Preceding DFI had no influence on survival time of dogs with stage III osteosarcoma. Metastasectomy was associated with an increase in survival time for selected dogs.
Making intersexuality visible through the circulation of Lucia Puenzo's XXY
Authors: Bañuelos Marco Amaya 
Published: November 2017

This article looks at how the film XXY (Lucía Puenzo, 2007) makes intersexuality visible and transmits to the public identities that question the binaries man-woman and homo-hetero by means of its circulation. By acknowledging the challenges of assessing the film’s sociological impact without carrying out audience research, this is a study that analyses the importance of the film’s form in normalising intersexuality as well as its effect in helping the film circulate across various film festivals. Since film exhibition and circulation are emerging academic fields, this research also needs to look at unconventional sources in order to argue that the film’s circulation enables it to be discussed across multiple platforms and to different audiences. By considering the film’s funding, this article argues that film festivals are platforms which allow films to obtain distribution agreements, and therefore increase their exhibition windows, and also have an important and often unacknowledged role in promoting progressive thinking into society. The article ends by examining how through fiction discourses normally restricted to the academic and medical fields can be mediated to general audiences as exemplified by XXY. In addition, the film’s availability under different genre categories makes it accessible to diverse audiences.
