Artists as Inviting Personalities for Self-Exploration and Social Learning at School
Authors: Ioannidou Martha 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In today’s increasingly fast-paced societies, undergoing reformation in the aging schooling systems in order to prepare children to subdue the high amounts of pressure and stress and lead productive lives seems to be moving slowly, compared to the unexpected rhythms of the socio-economic changes. In that context a programme has been created at the School of Primary Education, based on the belief that art shouldn’t rest only in the frame, but become itself a frame of the children’s experiences, a means for self-exploration, enhancing at the same time social learning and cultural responsiveness in schools. At current stage we explore whether and how artists as inviting personalities can become an example to children for building their own identity, while opening widely the borders of relating effectively to others or to life’s varied phenomena, as they learn how to communicate the subtleties of who they really are and what they believe in ways that words usually fail to fully capture. Children are asked to choose as a self-companion through their school year an artist, who greatly benefited from the arts’ unique power as a tool for shedding light on his/her self-knowledge and for overcoming difficulties as well as a means of fostering meaningful connections with his/her social and cultural environment. Curricular goals and learning units are approached by adapting innovative and effective teaching practices through the arts, based on the life and work of the artists children have chosen.

Having a child with autism can make a mother stress so that mothers need to relieve stress using coping stress. This study uses the theory of coping stress of Lazarus & Folkman (1984) to describe the coping stress used by mothers of children with autism in Schools "X". The number of participants of this study are 17 mothers age 27 - 55. All the participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire called Ways of Coping, that has been modified and adapted to the characteristics of the participants. Scores obtained can give descriptions about the form and component of coping used by participants. Items using a Likert scale, with the scaling interval. Counting the validity using SPSS version 22, using Pearson Correlation. From the calculation, there is one item that is discarded. Calculation reliability using software SPSS version 22, using Cronbach Alpha. Based on the results, the reliability of "Ways of Coping" is 0.875, which means it has high reliability. Based on statistical data, of the 17 participants, 9 participants mostly use problem focused coping, 7 participants mostly use emotional focused coping, and one participant use both forms of coping in a balanced manner. The conclusion is, most participants use problem focused coping more than emotional focused coping. Keywords: mother, autism, stress, coping stress.

Published: October 2017

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Pollination performance may depend on the type of floral resource (pollen or nectar) foraged by visitors. In buzz‐pollinated plant species, the poricidal anthers release pollen during active pollen collection that induces flower vibrations. These buzz‐pollinated species generally do not produce nectar. Nevertheless, several Ericaceae are buzz‐pollinated and produce nectar. We estimated the relative effectiveness of visitors according to the type of resource collected, nectar or pollen (buzzing).METHODS:We compared the relative performance of pollen removal, transport, and deposition (effectiveness) of the main insect visitors on four ericaceous species: three buzz‐pollinated species with different pore sizes, Erica tetralix, Vaccinium myrtillus, and V. vitis‐idaea; and one non‐buzz‐pollinated species, Calluna vulgaris.KEY RESULTS:Bumblebees were the main pollinators for the three buzz‐pollinated species, whereas hoverflies were the main pollinators for the non‐buzz‐pollinated generalist C. vulgaris. For the studied plant species, we observed no difference in pollination effectiveness among bumblebee species. Buzzing bumblebees were the most effective visitors for pollination per flower visit for the two Vaccinium species, whereas nectar foragers were the most effective visitors for pollination of E. tetralix. In the case of Vaccinium myrtillus, nectar foragers contributed the most to pollination success because they were more abundant than pollen foragers.CONCLUSIONS:We showed that consideration of the resource collected by visitors and their behavior is necessary to compare their relative performance. The combination of visitation rate and effectiveness per visit reveals that nectar foragers make a substantial contribution to pollination of the buzz‐pollinated ericaceous species.
Specific Frequencies and Luminosity Profiles of Cluster Galaxies and Intracluster Light in Abell 1689

Published: October 2017

Abstract
We present magnitudes and profile fits for 180 galaxies in the central field of the massive lensing cluster Abell 1689 using very deep imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys in the F814W bandpass. Previous work revealed an exceptionally large number of globular clusters (GCs) in A1689 and mapped their number density distribution. We decompose this number density map into GCs associated with individual cluster galaxies and ICGCs (intracluster GCs) associated with the intracluster light (ICL). In all, we measure GC specific frequencies S

N
for 33 cluster members and the ICL. The relation between S

N
and galaxy magnitude is consistent with the trend observed in Virgo, although some intermediate-luminosity galaxies scatter to

S

. We estimate that the ICL makes up 11% of the starlight in this field, whereas the ICGCs account for ∼35% of the GCs, both consistent with predictions from simulations. Galaxies with higher S

N
values tend to be rounder, and there is a marginally significant trend of decreasing S

N
with increasing specific angular momenta

R

. We also reevaluate the GC population in the A2744 Frontier Field, for which fewer than 1/10 as many GCs have been detected because of its larger distance. Finally, our core-Sérsic fit to the light profile of the A1689 brightest cluster galaxy implies a break radius of 3.8 kpc, among the largest known; we discuss implications of the sizable core and extensive GC population for the supermassive black hole in light of scaling relations.

This study presents the development of an innovative product which provides the combined functions of H2S sequestration and flow improvement in subsea applications. The product was applied and validated in an offshore field of Campos Basin for use via umbilicals in production wells.
The methodology is based on stabilization of the non-nitrogenated scavenger in the presence of solvents consisting of compounds with different ionicities. The efficiency of the combined product was demonstrated in relation to H2S abatement in the organic phase, as well as to flow improvement. Evaluations of elastomer compatibility, solvent loss, heat and cold stress testing, particle size and corrosivity of metallic materials qualified the product for umbilical injection. Field validation was performed in a production well that presented flow instability, high viscosity and high levels of produced H2S.
The combined product had a strong influence on water separation, promoted a good O/W interface formation, and showed high quality separated water, capacity to sequester H2S and reduce oil viscosity. In the approval phase for subsea application via umbilicals, the product achieved satisfactory results in all tests, satisfying internal specifications, and was considered suitable for this type of application. In the third and final stage, the product was tested in the field. The product application reduced the H2S level of the gas stream by approximately 90% and arrival pressure by over 20%, while well productivity increased by approximately 9%.
The results obtained at the laboratory scale for product development match its performance in the field. Accordingly, the laboratory techniques used were shown to reliably reproduce production conditions, which is extremely important in the development of more effective products.

Abstract
Promising results of immune checkpoint inhibitors have indicated the use of immunotherapy against malignant tumors. However, they cause serious side effects, including autoimmune diseases and pneumonitis. T cell Ig and mucin domain (TIM)-3 is a new candidate immune checkpoint molecule; however, the potential toxicity associated with anti–TIM-3 treatment is unknown. In this study, we investigated the pathological contribution of anti–TIM-3 mAb in a bleomycin-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis model. Anti–TIM-3–treated mice showed more severe inflammation and peribronchiolar fibrosis compared with control IgG-treated mice. Anti–TIM-3 mAb was associated with increased numbers of myofibroblasts, collagen deposition, and TGF-β1 production in lungs. TIM-3 expression was only detected on alveolar macrophages that protect against fibrosis by apoptotic cell clearance. Treatment with anti–TIM-3 mAb inhibited the phagocytic ability of alveolar macrophages in vivo, resulting in the defective clearance of apoptotic cells in lungs. In summary, anti–TIM-3 mAb treatment might cause pneumonitis and it should be used with caution in clinical settings.

Análise comparativa de custos e tarifas de energias renováveis no Brasil
Authors: Rangel Mariana Salles , Borges Pedro Baptista , Dos Santos Ivan Felipe Silva 
Published: October 2017

O esgotamento das reservas de combustíveis fósseis é muito preocupante, pois as indústrias, de um modo geral, necessitam desse tipo de energia para funcionarem. Sendo assim, num futuro próximo, a escassez do petróleo poderá tornar-se o grande impulsionador da utilização das energias renováveis em larga escala. É neste contexto que as energias: solar, eólica, biomassa e pequenas centrais hidroelétricas (PCHs) começam a disputar entre si e com as tecnologias já utilizadas em larga escala por uma atenção maior, no sentido de aumentar-se a escala de produção a partir de preços mais competitivos para a energia gerada. Dessa forma, o presente artigo compreende uma análise comparativa entre os custos e tarifas das energias renováveis no Brasil. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram quequanto menor a potência menor o investimento total e que existe uma tendência de que quanto maior o custo unitário maior a tarifa de energia. Dessa forma, as tarifas e os custos unitários mais baixos foram da energia eólica e da PCH. Palavras-chaves: energias renováveis; preços; potência.
Análise comparativa das normas brasileiras e americanas para sistemas de aproveitamento de água de chuva para fins não potáveis
Authors: Martins Márcia Viana Lisboa , Rufino Raphael Reis 
Published: October 2017

Resumo Tendo em vista a crescente demanda por água em nossa sociedade e o aumento dos custos com tratamento de mananciais cada vez mais poluídos, a utilização de sistemas de aproveitamento da água de chuva para fins não potáveis se mostra uma alternativa sustentável para reduzir a demanda por água potável bem como atenuar os gastos da população com o fornecimento de água.O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de discutir a norma brasileira ABNT: NBR 15.527 (2007), que trata do aproveitamento de água de chuva, e as normas relacionadas a esta e compara-las com a diretriz americana de reúso de água publicada pela Agência de Proteção do Meio Ambiente dos Estados Unidos. A finalidade é contribuir com o aprimoramento das normas brasileiras e facilitar a implantação dos sistemas de reúso de água.A análise realizada possibilitou verificar que as normas americanas já tratam inclusive de sistemas públicos de fornecimento de água reciclada para fins não potáveis, tema ainda não abordado pelas normas brasileiras. No que diz respeito às instalações prediais de sistemas individuais de aproveitamento da água de chuva, as normas brasileiras se mostraram alinhadas com as normas americanas, porém foi possível detectar alguns pontos que merecem mais atenção por parte das normas brasileiras, como a definição de cores para identificação de tubulações de água não potável e a falta de exigência de testes de conexão cruzada e a necessidade de estabelecer parâmetros de qualidade para os usos não potáveis.Palavras-chave: Aproveitamento da água de chuva, normas, não potáveis.

ANÁLISE DE DESEMPENHO DE UM MOTOR AGRÍCOLA COM USO DE DIESEL E BIODIESEL DE SOJA (GLYCINE MAX) DA REGIÃO DO MATOPIBA, TOCANTINS, BRASIL.
Authors: De Aguiar Márcio Alves 
Published: October 2017

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho de um motor diesel, utilizando diesel S-10 e biodiesel B-20, B-50, B-100. A metodologia desenvolvida foi em conformidade com a norma ABNT ISO 1585, em que se baseou no aquecimento do motor a diesel e elevação à carga plena de trabalho na rotação máxima de 2300 rpm e decaimento do giro do motor até a rotação mínima de 1000 rpm, numa variação de 100 rpm nos catorze níveis rotacionais realizados em três amostras, para todos os combustíveis. Os dados relativos à potência, torque e consumo de combustíveis verificados em todas as repetições foram utilizados para a observação das curvas de desempenho do motor, tanto quanto para a avaliação de rendimento do motor. Os resultados comparativos indicaram que torque e potência entre B-20 e diesel foram similares, porém o biodiesel nesta proporção a 20% apresentou aumento do consumo de combustível. Já os biodieseis 50% e 100%, apresentaram queda de desempenho e elevação do consumo de combustível, com aumento desta concentração, enquanto que o diesel apresentou melhor rendimento e o B-100 o menor, dentre os todos os combustíveis, situação já prevista devido a sua elevada viscosidade. Contudo, pode-se concluir que o uso de biodiesel, em pequenas ou elevadas concentrações na mistura com o diesel e até mesmo a 100% deste combustível renovável garante a independência parcial ou integral do uso de combustíveis fósseis altamente poluentes apresentando-se como uma expressiva justificativa no emprego de combustíveis biodegradáveis em motores a diesel diminuindo-se, inclusive, os impactos ambientais.

Published: October 2017

In this work is performed a numerical study of the main operational principle of a VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind turbine) and the influence of the distance between two aligned turbines over their power coefficient. The main aims here are to evaluate the applicability of the numerical model studied here in further optimization studies of VAWT and evaluate the effect of the distance between turbines (d) on the device power coefficient. To achieve these goals, it is considered an incompressible, transient and turbulent flow on a two dimensional domain with two fluid zones, one being rotational representing the rotation of the blades. The time-averaged mass conservation equations and momentum are numerically solved using the finite volume method, more precisely with the software FLUENTÒ. For the approach of turbulence is used to classical modeling of turbulence (RANS) with standard model k - ε. Other geometric parameters: turbine radius (R), the airfoil profile (NACA0018) and chorus were held constant. The verification results showed a good agreement with those presented in the literature, even employing a simplified domain. It was also observed that the distance (d) directly affects the power of the second turbine. For the best case, with d =10m, the downstream turbine showed an approximate 50% drop in power coefficient in comparison with that obtained for the upstream turbine. While in the worst case, with d =2m, the power coefficient for the downstream turbine decreased two hundred times in comparison with that achieved for the upstream one. It was also noted that there is a great possibility of disposal area optimization of turbines in future studies. Keywords: Vertical Axis Wind turbine, Numerical study, Power coefficient, turbine distance.

Authors: Kowalski Rafaela Luisa 
Published: October 2017

O amido é um dos polímeros de glicose mais abundantes no reino vegetal podendo ser utilizado como complemento ou alternativa em substituição à cana-de- açúcar como açúcar fermentável. Atualmente tem se evidenciado a necessidade de novas matrizes de fontes renováveis para a produção de etanol. Como a semente de abacate possui cerca de 20% de amido em sua composição é possível realizar a hidrólise e consequentemente, a fermentação alcoólica. O presente trabalho estudou os processos de hidrólise enzimática do caroço de abacate para produção de etanol de segunda geração. O etanol produzido foi caracterizado e os resultados mostraram que a matéria-prima é excelente para a produção do biocombustível, apresentando 1,0579 g L-1 de amido produzindo 44L de etanol por tonelada de semente e um rendimento na fermentação e destilação de 33,83%. Assim, concluiu-se que o caroço de abacate comprova ser uma fonte renovável e eco sustentável para obtenção de etanol.

Published: October 2017

Introduction:
This study is a systematic review of all reported synovial fluid markers for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection and a meta-analysis of the most frequently reported markers to identify those of greatest diagnostic utility.

Methods:
A search of six databases was conducted to identify all studies evaluating the utility of synovial fluid markers in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection. Two observers assessed methodologic quality and extracted data independently. A meta-analysis of the most frequently reported markers was performed.

Results:
Twenty-three studies were included in the meta-analysis. The most common markers (and their respective area under the curve) were interleukin-17 (0.974), leukocyte esterase (0.968), α-defensin (0.958), interleukin-6 (0.956), interleukin-1β (0.948), and C-reactive protein (0.927). Among these markers, α-defensin had the highest diagnostic odds ratio but did not achieve statistically significant superiority.

Conclusion:
The most frequently studied synovial fluid markers for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection are C-reactive protein, leukocyte esterase, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, α-defensin, and interleukin-17, all of which have high diagnostic utility.

Level of Evidence:
Level II
