Artificial concerns. Effects of a commercial advertisement on modern health worries and sympathetic activation
Authors: Köteles Ferenc , Tarján Eszter , Berkes Tímea 
Published: March 2016

Theoretical background
Many companies offer products that are claimed to protect against harmful environmental factors. Advertisements of such products are designed to maximize risk perception and worrying, which may have a negative impact on psychological functioning and health. Public worry about the harmful effects of various environmental factors may also be boosted.

Aim
To measure the impact of an advertising film on worrying and sympathetic activation.

Methods
100 young adults completed questionnaires measuring constructs that were connected to modern health worries in past studies (somatosensory amplification, health anxiety, subjective somatic symptoms, beliefs about the validity of complementary and alternative medicine, holistic health beliefs, and spirituality). Participants were asked to watch an advertising film exaggerating the risks posed by electromagnetic radiation or a control film. Sympathetic activation (as assessed by heart rate) was measured before and after the intervention. Worrying (as assessed by the Radiation sub-scale of the Modern Health Worries Scale) was measured before and after the intervention, and three weeks later.

Results
Compared to the control film, the advertisement caused an acute increase in heart rate (t(98) = 4.122, p < .001). Concerning worrying, a mixed analysis of variance indicated a significant group × time interaction (F(2,98) = 3.455; p = .034). In the post hoc analysis, the control group showed no significant deviations from baseline. In the intervention group, however, significant (p < .05) differences were found from baseline at both follow-ups. Acute change in worrying was not connected to any assessed psychological construct (i.e., no effect modification was found).

Conclusions
Commercial advertisements of certain health protecting products can play a role in the generation and maintenance of modern health worries. From a broader point of view, such advertisements may contribute to both the social amplification of risk and possible development of a moral panic.

A survey was carried out in Angola with the aim of collecting vegetable crops. Collecting expeditions were conducted in Kwanza-Sul, Benguela, Huíla and Namibe Provinces and a total of 80 accessions belonging to 22 species was collected from farmers and local markets. Species belonging to the Solanaceae (37 accessions) and Cucurbitaceae (36 accessions) families were the most frequently found with pepper and eggplant being the predominant solanaceous crops collected. Peppers were sold in local markets as a mixture of different types, even different species: Capsicum chinense, C. baccatum, C. frutescens and C. pubescens. Most of the eggplant accessions collected belonged to Solanum aethiopicum L. Gilo Group, the so-called ‘scarlet eggplant’. Cucurbita genus was better represented than the other cucurbit crops. A high morphological variation was present in the Cucurbita maxima and C. moschata accessions. A set of 22 Cucurbita accessions from Angola, along with 32 Cucurbita controls from a wide range of origins, was cultivated in Valencia, Spain and characterised based on morphology and molecularity using a set of 15 microsatellite markers. A strong dependence on latitude was found in most of the accessions and as a result, many accessions did not set fruit. The molecular analysis showed high molecular variability and uniqueness in the collected accessions, as shown by their segregation from the set of global controls. In summary, the material collected is quite valuable because of its uniqueness and the potential of the breeding characteristics it possesses.

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da classe de tamanho de leitegada ao nascer sobre a variação do peso ao nascer e ao desmame e sobre a taxa de sobrevivência dos leitões do nascimento ao desmame. Para isso usou-se informações de peso individual ao nascer e ao desmame de leitões de um banco de dados de 295 leitegadas de suínos da raça Landrace, nascidos entre 2000 e 2010, em uma granja de suínos do oeste do estado do Paraná. As leitegadas foram classificadas pelo número total de leitões nascidos em pequenas (até 7 leitões), médias (8 a 13 leitões) e grandes (14 e mais leitões). Os dados foram analisados considerando-se os efeitos de ano de acasalamento das porcas e classe de tamanho de leitegada ao nascer. Correlações entre as características de peso médio e variância do peso e tamanho da leitegada foram maiores nas leitegadas médias e grandes. Classe de tamanho da leitegada influenciou significativamente peso médio ao nascer e ao desmame dos leitões e variância do peso ao nascer. Leitões de leitegadas médias e grandes pesaram menos, apresentaram maior variação do peso ao nascer e menor taxa de sobrevivência até o desmame do que leitões de leitegadas pequenas.

The Conditions of Subalternity: Reflections on Subjectivity, Experience and Hegemony
Authors: Vahabzadeh Peyman 
Published: March 2016

<p>This paper uses Gayatri Spivak's discussion of Sati and Ranajit Guha's interpretive account of Chandra's death in colonial India in order to critically re-examine the concept of subalternity that runs through various postcolonial theories. It is argued that there is a major tendency in postcolonial theory to conflate hegemony with domination. By introducing the concept of experience, enabled by a reading of Antonio Gramsci's theory, the paper relates subalternity to hegemony and discusses that the success or failure of hegemony involves the degree to which hegemonic re-grounding can succeed in maintaining the existential continuum of the subject. </p>
MEOS 2015: Innovation, Collaboration Keys to Navigating Downturn in Oil Price
Authors: Henni Abdelghani 
Published: March 2016

Conference Review
Managing the business amid the downturn in the price of oil and overcoming the challenges facing the industry topped discussions during the 19th annual Middle East Oil & Gas Show and Conference (MEOS), held in Manama, Bahrain, in March.
Industry leaders agreed that the industry should not repeat the mistakes that it made during the last oil price decline when staff were laid off and investment in research and development (R&D) was reduced.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Abdulhameed Al-Rushaid, 2015 MEOS conference co-chairman and chief drilling engineer at Saudi Aramco, said the industry is proving to be resilient during the recent collapse in the price of oil.
“Many of us have seen volatility repeated time and again, with similar challenges in 1986, 1997, and 2009. Through the inevitable down cycles and shocks, we must continue our transformation, remaining agile, resourceful, and prudent in our operations,” he said.
“The industry should take safety, efficiency, productivity, environmental stewardship, and cost management to higher levels, while remaining focused on long-term strategic vision to work together to produce global energy,” Al- Rushaid said.
Abdul Hussain bin Ali Mirza, energy minister of Bahrain, said his country will continue to plan for the long term and will increase investment in technology despite the price downturn. “Innovation comes with technology, and we have been using EOR technology at our major oil field, Bahrain field, in the last 6 years that has helped offset the production decline. We are working with our partners to increase the recovery rate in the field,” he said.
The ministerial panel session looked at the global energy picture and the challenges facing major oil and gas producers in the region. The panelists were Suhail Al-Mazrouei, energy minister of the UAE; Ali Al-Omair, oil minister of Kuwait; Abdalla Salem El-Badri, secretary general of OPEC; and Mirza.
Technology Focus: Intelligent Fields Technology (May 2015)
Authors: Hudson John 
Published: March 2016

Technology Focus
In the late 1990s, a friend in the office showed me a cobbled-together neural network in Excel that was driving (then Hyprotech, now Aspen) Hysys such that the calculation speeds were significantly faster than those in the more-rigorous but wandering solution that Hysys alone could yield. While interesting and a good solution for that problem, it seemed to me at the time something that a hobbyist would do in the evenings.
During the past few years, it has become painfully obvious that such a dismissive conclusion is outdated. Artificial-intelligence (AI) -based methods have become mainstream engineering, and we as practitioners need to have a firm understanding of the principles and be ready to apply them when the opportunities arise.
AI-related papers now make up a significant fraction of the overall literature in intelligent fields. For example, during the past year, Ikezue and Onukwuli have shown how neural networks can be used to control gas production in multilaterals. Baarimah et al. used a variety of techniques, including neural networks and fuzzy logic, to predict reservoir-fluid properties and demonstrated why this could be a better approach to a single correlation choice. Alzate et al. used neural networks to generate and test artificial well logs to assist in geomechanical evaluations. Note that these papers and others presented in the last year come not only from academic institutions but increasingly from operators and service providers reporting how these techniques are being used to make business decisions.
Why have these technologies gained traction? The answer, of course, is partly that the technologies have matured, though the basics have clearly been in place for some time. The more important trends are a vast increase in the availability of data and the increasing need to make business decisions before the physics of the problem is understood well enough to form a reasonable physical model. AI has emerged as a go-to solution type to help us build physical insight into problems where the complexity or heterogeneity of the problem makes a comprehensive physical model still too difficult to pose.
Among the articles featured in the section, you will find some enlightening examples that illustrate the utility of these approaches. JPT

Azimuthal Deep-Resistivity and Multilateral Technologies in the Orinoco Oil Belt
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: March 2016

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 163538, “The Combined Application of Azimuthal Deep-Resistivity and Multilateral Technologies Maximizes Extraheavy-Oil Recovery and Improves Production Rates in the JunIn Block of the Orinoco Oil Belt,” by J. Palermo, R. Gutierrez, J. Ramos, and O. Toledo, PDVSA, and W. Garcia, L. Rondon, D. Cohen, and O. Mendez, Halliburton, prepared for the 2013 SPE Drilling Conference and Exhibition, Amsterdam, 5–7 March.
Complex reservoirs in the Junín block of the Orinoco oil belt of eastern Venezuela offer challenges in achieving higher production rates and maximizing extraheavy-oil recovery. Most of the wells in this block were drilled in relatively homogeneous sands with good thickness; however, large extraheavy-oil reserves are trapped in a more geologically and operationally complex deltaic reservoir sand. This paper describes the combined application of multilateral and geosteering technologies to one of these wells and details the results of the application.
Introduction
To drill in one of the most complex deposits in the Junín block, technological solutions have been provided to position the horizontal path in the best location within the reservoir through the use of geosteering azimuthal deep- resistivity (ADR) tools to ensure the entire horizontal section is located in a highly productive area, combined with technological solutions to increase the drainage area with a drainage system designed for advanced multilaterals, thereby doubling the drainage area and maximizing well production.
Typical Horizontal Wells in the Junín Block
Description of the Field and Main Challenges. The area is quite complex structurally at younger levels (Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene), but the structural evidence of intense faulting in older units is also important (Fig. 1). The area includes the crystalline basement and sedimentary units of the Cambrian and Cretaceous. This complex geological structure is why the geosteering is in the northwest/southeast direction. The structure of this area corresponds to an area monocline oriented in a northwest/ southeast direction, dipping generally between 1 and 2° to the northeast.
Customized Mechanical Diagram. The operator’s customized mechanical well design is consistent with the Orinoco oil-belt well mechanical diagram. Fig. 2 shows the three drilling phases (surface, intermediate, and production sections) described in detail in the complete paper.

A utilização de plantas medicinais é umas das práticas curativas mais antigas utilizadas pela humanidade. A espécie vegetal <em>Qualea grandiflora</em> Mart é utilizada popularmente para tratamento de asma, úlcera e processos inflamatórios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a toxicidade aguda do extrato aquoso de folhas de <em>Qualea grandiflora</em> Mart pelo teste Hipocrático em camundongos albinos Swiss Webster. Foram utilizados 48 animais, divididos em grupos, sendo 6 grupos tratados com o extrato hidroetanólico de <em>Qualea grandiflora</em>(HEQGM) por via oral (v.o) nas doses de 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 e 1000 mg/kg e 6 grupos tratados com o EHEQGM por via intraperitoneal (i.p) nas mesmas doses. Um animal controle foi utilizado para cada dose recebendo veículo (água destilada e DMSO, 10 ml/kg). Os animais foram observados individualmente em gaiolas apropriadas (campo aberto) nos tempos zero, 15 e 30 min, 1, 2, 4 e 8h durante o período de 14 dias. Foram observadas mudanças comportamentais em ambos os grupos e houve óbito nos grupos i.p 500 e 1000 mg/kg. Porém, no exame histopatológico dos órgãos destes animais não se observou alterações significantes. Alguns efeitos indesejáveis observados neste estudo por meio dos parâmetros avaliados demonstram que a utilização da planta nas doses mais elevadas deve ser evitada.<p><strong>Descritores:</strong><strong> </strong>Toxicidade Aguda; Plantas Medicinais; Camundongos.</p>

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the operative technique and perioperative outcome for laparoscopic-assisted splenectomy (LAS) in dogs.
DESIGN Retrospective case series.
ANIMALS 18 client-owned dogs.
PROCEDURES Medical records of dogs with naturally occurring disease of the spleen treated by means of LAS between 2012 and 2014 were reviewed. History, signalment, results of physical examination, results of preoperative diagnostic testing, details of surgical technique, intraoperative findings including results of abdominal exploration and staging, concurrent surgical procedures, complications, histopathologic diagnoses, duration of postoperative hospitalization, and perioperative outcome were recorded. The perioperative period was defined as the time from hospital admission for LAS until discharge or death (within the same visit).
RESULTS All dogs underwent initial abdominal exploration and staging via multiple 5-mm laparoscopic ports (n = 2) or a single commercially available multichannel port (16), followed by minilaparotomy with insertion of a wound retraction device, progressive exteriorization of the spleen, sealing of hilar vessels, and splenectomy. Splenectomy was performed for treatment of a splenic mass (n = 15), suspected neoplasia (2), or refractory immune-mediated disease (1). Median size (width × length) of splenic masses was 5 × 5 cm (range, 1.6 to 11.0 cm × 1.5 to 14.5 cm). Complications were limited to minor intraoperative hemorrhage in 1 dog; no patient required conversion to open laparotomy.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that LAS was technically feasible in dogs and not associated with major complications. Further evaluation is required; however, in appropriately selected patients, LAS may offer the benefits of a minimally invasive technique, including a smaller incision and improved illumination and magnification during exploration and staging.

Published: March 2016

Keeping soil quality at par is one of the needed things for sustainable development and the existence of millions of living things in biosphere. Soil enzymes are used as soil quality indicators for quick response of changes for environmental stress, pollution and agricultural practices much more sooner (1–2 year) than other soil properties (organic matter); easy to measure (relatively simple procedure), having relations with plant productivity, soil quality parameters (organic matter, soil physical properties, microbial activity, and microbial biomass), and biogeochemical cycle; and being integrative. To assess the detrimental effect of the soil in grape cultivating field we selected four farming sites and various soil enzymes like protease. Urease, cellulose, chitinase, beta glocosidase, phosphatase, amylase, aryl sulphatase and dehydrogenase. As an additional support, we estimated the microbial population in all these fields and in all the stages of the cyclic process of the vine cultivation. Our study showed that the extensive use of the chemical pesticide badly affect the soil microorganism and which in turn badly affect the quality and quantity of the soil enzymes and subsequently the quality of the soil.
