Tributação e Livre Iniciativa Sob o Viés da Ausência de Dosimetria nas Multas Fiscais de Icms e Seus Reflexos no Desenvolvimento
Authors: Nobre Simone Cruz 
Published: November 2017

A arrecadação do ICMS é a principal fonte de recursos que dispõe o Estado para a garantia e satisfação dos direitos fundamentais. No entanto, a complexidade em sua tributação, a excessiva quantidade de obrigações acessórias e a ausência de uma graduação ou limite do poder sancionador estatal são fatores decisivos que impactam não apenas na concorrência, mas na atração de novos investimentos. Portanto, é fundamental a compreensão desta problemática, a fim de que seja possível o exercício do poder sancionador tributário dentro da moldura constitucional, que prima pelo desenvolvimento nacional, a liberdade e a solidariedade.

Authors: Shrestha Nira Singh Singh , Pandey Asmita 
Published: November 2017

Background: Menopausal health has not been given any consideration till the recent years in developing countries. With the improving status of women in the society, more and more women are seeking help for their menopausal problems.Objectives: The study aimed to find out the prevalence of menopausal symptoms and its impact on life of perimenopausal and postmenopausal women attending gynecology outpatient department at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was done at Kathmandu medical college teaching hospital among 100 perimenopausal and postmenopausal women attending gynecology outpatient department in the month of August 2016. A pretested questionnaire was administered to the women selected by convenience sampling. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 20 and presented in percentage and frequency table.Results: The mean age of the women in the study population was 49.98 years(SD±6.18) and mean age at menopause was48.02 years (SD± 2.12). Ninety four percent of the women had one or more of the menopausal symptoms. The commonest menopausal symptom was mood swings and irritability (80% and 68% respectively) followed by vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes in 42% and night sweats in 24% of the women. These symptoms interfered with the women’s daily work performances in 46% of the cases, affected family life in 28% and affected social life in 32% of the cases.Conclusion: Majority of the women have menopausal symptoms during perimenopause and postmenopausal period. These symptoms have major impact on women’s personal, social, and family lives. Journal of Kathmandu Medical CollegeVol. 6, No. 1, 2017, page: 4-8
Antimicrobial resistance trend of Salmonella typhi and paratyphi from 2011-2013: A descriptive study from tertiary care hospital of Nepal
Authors: Adhikari Arjab , Sapkota Supriya , Bhattarai Utsuk , Raghubanshi Bijendra Raj 
Published: November 2017

Background: Enteric fever is a major public health problem in Nepal. Trends of drug resistance help in choosing optimal empiric therapy.Objective: The objective of this study was to determine antibiotic resistance pattern of Salmonella enterica serotype typhi and Salmonella enterica serotype paratyphi isolated from blood cultures.Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted using hospital records at KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Isolates from blood cultures between January 2011 and December 2013 were included in this study. Susceptibility to various antimicrobials was determined using modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. A chi-square for trend analysis was done to evaluate change in susceptibility over three years.Results: Out of 216 isolates, 68.05% were Salmonella typhi and 31.48% were Salmonella paratyphi A. In Salmonella typhi, there was significant increase in cefotaxime resistance(X2 = 4.951, p < 0.05) and ciprofloxacin resistance (X2 = 17.506, p < 0.001) whereas there was significant decrease in ampicillin resistance (X2 = 4.830, p < 0.05). No resistance was seen against ceftriaxone in Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi A. Resistance to chloramphenicol and cotrimoxazole was low as well, in both isolates. None of the isolates tested were multidrug resistant.Conclusion: There is emergence of resistance to cefotaxime whereas resistance to ciprofloxacin has made its use as empiric therapy questionable. Full susceptibility of ceftriaxone makes it an excellent antibiotic for empiric therapy. Decrease in resistance to chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole and ampicillin may again make these agents useful.

Guillain Barré Syndrome in a three year old child under treatment for atypical febrile seizure: A case report
Authors: Basnet Rydam , Subedi Kiran , Bhandari Bikash , Gongal Sonsy 
Published: November 2017

Guillain-Barré syndrome is the most common cause of acute fl accid paralysis in healthy infants and children. It has an annual incidence of 0.6 to 2.4 cases per 100,000 population and occurs at all ages and in both sexes. The incidence is lower in children ranging from 0.38 to 0.91 cases per 100,000 in the studies and most of these cases ranging from four years to 18 years of age. Hence, the true incidence is even lesser in child younger than four years. We report a case of an early presentation of Guillain-Barré syndrome in child who was also a case of atypical febrile seizure under sodium valproate. Keeping in mind all the possibilities of acute onset weakness including orthopedic problems, possible side effect of valproate and possible new seizure, treatment was started early solely based on history and physical examination later confirmed by laboratory investigations.Journal of Kathmandu Medical College Vol. 6, No. 1, 2017, page: 35-37
Effects of local vibration with blood flow restriction on muscle activation
Authors: Lin Tsong-Cheng , Cheng Chi-Cheng , Cai Zong-Yan 
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND: Blood flow restriction (BFR) resistance exercise often elicits additive response of muscle activation. It is not clear whether local vibration (LV)-induced involuntary muscle contraction plus BFR would elicit an additive response of muscle activation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of LV exercise with and without BFR on muscle activation. METHODS: Eight physically inactive males were randomly assigned to a sequence of LV (0.45 mm amplitude, 35 Hz sinusoid, lasting 1 min) treatments on unilateral antagonistic muscle groups, including the upper arm (biceps and triceps), the calf (gastrocnemius, GAS; tibialis anterior, TA) and the thigh (rectus femoris, RF; biceps femoris, BF), in a repeated-measures counterbalanced design, with a 5-min interval separating the treatments. The LV treatments on each of the limbs included one bout of LV and one bout of LV [Formula: see text] BFR (inflated to 200 mmHg) in a counterbalanced order. RESULTS: Only the RF and biceps in the measured muscles showed greater electromyography (EMG) values during LV [Formula: see text] BFR than those during LV ([Formula: see text] 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: LV [Formula: see text] BFR elicits an increase in EMG amplitude in some muscles, with obviously greater values in the RF for the thigh and in the biceps for the upper limb.

Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest in identifying markers of pulmonary function that are predictive of peripheral muscle dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, studies of this relationship have yielded contradictory results in the literature. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the strength and endurance of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles according to gender and to evaluate the associations between lower limb muscle function and lung function, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and 25-hydroxivitamin D3 (25(OH)D[Formula: see text]) levels in patients with COPD. METHODS: Forty-two patients with COPD and 42 matched healthy controls underwent knee isokinetic dynamometry at 75 and 240[Formula: see text]/s as well as isometric handgrip strength testing. All patients underwent pulmonary function tests and measurement of 25(OH)D[Formula: see text]. HRQoL was evaluated using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). RESULTS: Most isokinetic parameters showed differences between males and females as well as between COPD patients and controls; the greatest differences were observed among females with COPD and their matched controls. The strongest correlations were observed between the isokinetic parameters and the SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) and SGRQ and pulmonary function variables, especially at the higher velocity. At this velocity, the agonist/antagonist ratio was positively correlated with the SF-36 PCS (r [Formula: see text] 0.65), 25(OH)D[Formula: see text] levels (r [Formula: see text] 0.76) and forced expiratory volume in one second (r [Formula: see text] 0.65) and was negatively correlated with the CAT (r [Formula: see text]0.53) and the SGRQ (r [Formula: see text]0.64) ([Formula: see text] 0.001 for all correlations). The associations between the isokinetic parameters and 25(OH)D[Formula: see text] levels were stronger when endurance was tested. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with COPD show a reduction in both strength and endurance, especially in females. The relationships between muscle function, lung function, HRQoL and 25(OH)D[Formula: see text] levels are most striking when endurance and hamstring/quadriceps muscle balance are tested. In COPD, forced expiratory volume in one second is the strongest marker of lung function that predicts muscle dysfunction.

Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND: Fractured vertebral bodies are a common and wide spread health issue. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized method to experimentally generate compression fractures in vertebral bodies. The influence of the pedicles has been investigated with regards to the fracture behavior. The correlation between bone mineral density (BMD), the cause of fractures and the fracture behavior was investigated. METHODS: Twenty-one fresh frozen human lumbar spines were examined for bone mineral density (BMD) by means of quantitative computed tomography (qCT). All soft tissue was removed, vertebrae were carefully separated from each other and the exposed cranial and caudal endplates were covered with a thin layer of resin to generate a plane and homogeneous surface. A total of 80 vertebral bodies were tested until fracture. RESULTS: A good positive correlation was found between BMD, fracture compression force and stiffness of the vertebral body. No significant differences were found between the fractures generated in vertebral bodies with and without pedicles, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our model represents a consolidation of already existing testing devices. The comparative measurement of the BMD and the fracture behavior shows validity. In contrast to other authors, the force was applied to the whole vertebral body. Furthermore the upper and lower plates were not parallelized and therefore the natural anatomic shape was imitated. Fracture behavior was not altered by removing the pedicles.
Goos–Hänchen effect in neutron optics and the reflection time of neutron waves
Authors: Bushuev V A , Frank A I 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The Goos–Hänchen (GH) effect, a longitudinal shift of a wave beam at total internal reflection, is well known in optics and has been repeatedly observed for light, micro-, and ultrasonic waves. We consider the GH effect for a massive particle reflected from a material boundary. A close relation is shown to exist between the longitudinal shift and the time delay of reflection. In the case of a neutron reflected from a planar resonant system, a giant longitudinal shift of either positive or negative sign can occur, corresponding to a large reflection group delay time. This time can also be negative, which does not contradict the causality principle. Prospects of the experimental observation of the GH effect and group delay time for neutron reflection are reviewed.

Abstract
This work is part of a series of papers devoted to investigating the evolution of cluster galaxies during their infall. In the present article, we image in NIR a selected sample of galaxies throughout the massive cluster Abell 85 (z = 0.055). We obtain (JHK′) photometry for 68 objects, reaching ∼1 mag arcsec−2 deeper than 2MASS. We use these images to unveil asymmetries in the outskirts of a sample of bright galaxies and develop a new asymmetry index,

, which allows us to quantify the degree of disruption by the relative area occupied by the tidal features on the plane of the sky. We measure the asymmetries for a subsample of 41 large-area objects, finding clear asymmetries in 10 galaxies; most of these are in groups and pairs projected at different clustercentric distances, and some of them are located beyond R
500. Combining information on the H i gas content of blue galaxies and the distribution of substructures across Abell 85 with the present NIR asymmetry analysis, we obtain a very powerful tool to confirm that tidal mechanisms are indeed present and are currently affecting a fraction of galaxies in Abell 85. However, when comparing our deep NIR images with UV blue images of two very disrupted (jellyfish) galaxies in this cluster, we discard the presence of tidal interactions down to our detection limit. Our results suggest that ram-pressure stripping is at the origin of such spectacular disruptions. We conclude that across a complex cluster like Abell 85, environmental mechanisms, both gravitational and hydrodynamical, are playing an active role in driving galaxy evolution.

Abstract
We report the discovery of a new ultra-short-period planet and summarize the properties of all such planets for which the mass and radius have been measured. The new planet, K2-131b, was discovered in K2 Campaign 10. It has a radius of

and orbits a G dwarf with a period of 8.9 hr. Radial velocities obtained with Magellan/PFS and TNG/HARPS-N show evidence for stellar activity along with orbital motion. We determined the planetary mass using two different methods: (1) the “floating chunk offset” method, based only on changes in velocity observed on the same night; and (2) a Gaussian process regression based on both the radial velocity and photometric time series. The results are consistent and lead to a mass measurement of

and a mean density of

Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time (ZEIT). V. A Uniform Search for Transiting Planets in Young Clusters Observed by K2
Authors: Rizzuto Aaron C. , Mann Andrew W. , Vanderburg Andrew , Kraus Adam L. , Covey Kevin R. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Detection of transiting exoplanets around young stars is more difficult than for older systems owing to increased stellar variability. Nine young open cluster planets have been found in the K2 data, but no single analysis pipeline identified all planets. We have developed a transit search pipeline for young stars that uses a transit-shaped notch and quadratic continuum in a 12 or 24 hr window to fit both the stellar variability and the presence of a transit. In addition, for the most rapid rotators (

days) we model the variability using a linear combination of observed rotations of each star. To maximally exploit our new pipeline, we update the membership for four stellar populations observed by K2 (Upper Scorpius, Pleiades, Hyades, Praesepe) and conduct a uniform search of the members. We identify all known transiting exoplanets in the clusters, 17 eclipsing binaries, one transiting planet candidate orbiting a potential Pleiades member, and three orbiting unlikely members of the young clusters. Limited injection recovery testing on the known planet hosts indicates that for the older Praesepe systems we are sensitive to additional exoplanets as small as 1–2 R
⊕, and for the larger Upper Scorpius planet host (K2-33) our pipeline is sensitive to ∼4 R
⊕ transiting planets. The lack of detected multiple systems in the young clusters is consistent with the expected frequency from the original Kepler sample, within our detection limits. With a robust pipeline that detects all known planets in the young clusters, occurrence rate testing at young ages is now possible.

A Spectroscopic Search for White Dwarf Companions to 101 Nearby M Dwarfs*

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Recent studies of the stellar population in the solar neighborhood (<20 pc) suggest that there are undetected white dwarfs (WDs) in multiple systems with main-sequence companions. Detecting these hidden stars and obtaining a more complete census of nearby WDs is important for our understanding of stellar and galactic evolution, as well as the study of explosive phenomena. In an attempt to uncover these hidden WDs, we present intermediate resolution spectroscopy over the wavelength range of 3000–25000 Å of 101 nearby M dwarfs (dMs), observed with the Very Large Telescope X-Shooter spectrograph. For each star we search for a hot component superimposed on the dM spectrum. X-Shooter has excellent blue sensitivity and thus can reveal a faint hot WD despite the brightness of its red companion. Visual examination shows no clear evidence of a WD in any of the spectra. We place upper limits on the effective temperatures of WDs that may still be hiding by fitting dM templates to the spectra and modeling the WD spectra. On average our survey is sensitive to WDs hotter than about 5300 K. This suggests that the frequency of WD companions of

with separation of the order of ≲50 au among the local dM population is <3% at the 95% confidence level. The reduced spectra are made available via the WISeREP3
