Neolithic and Chalcolithic stone tools used in ceramics production: Examples from the south of Romania
Authors: Crandell Otis , Ionescu Corina , Mirea Pavel 
Published: January 2017

This paper focuses on Neolithic and Chalcolithic stone tools found at the Măgura ‘Buduiasca’ and Vităneşti ‘Măgurice’ sites in southern Romania, which might been involved in the chaîne opératoire of ceramic pottery production. To better understand how ceramic objects were made during this period, it is important to know what tools were available. Representative artefacts were selected from the sites and have here been grouped based on their possible involvement in various stages of pottery production: a) quarrying of the raw claystone (picks); b) processing the raw materials (mortars and pestles); and c) surface finishing (smoothers, burnishers, polishers). The surface of the tools was examined by non-destructive methods (handheld loupe, stereomicroscope) with the aim of further determining their function and whether they were likely used in the ceramics industry.
This study provides examples of specific Neolithic and Chalcolithic stone tool types and illustrates characteristics useful for identifying their use. It also shows the possible chaîne opératoire of pottery produced during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic in the area of southern Romania.
It is considered that most of these tools categories, and likely most of the individual tools themselves, had multiple uses, or similar uses with different materials in different industries. It is therefore difficult to determine with much certainty whether they were only used within the ceramics industry.
O Programa Calha Norte: redefinição das políticas de segurança e defesa nas fronteiras internacionais da Amazônia brasileira
Authors: Monteiro Licio Caetano do Rego 
Published: January 2017

Resumo: O Programa Calha Norte (PCN) foi concebido na década de 1980, mas assumiu novas configurações após sua retomada em 2003. Neste artigo, analisamos o PCN apartir da diferença entre os momentos inicial e atual, considerando a redefinição das políticasde segurança e defesa do Estado brasileiro nas fronteiras internacionais da Amazônia nas últimas duas décadas. O argumento principal é o de que as mudanças de concepção do PCN entreesses dois períodos demonstram como a aplicação das políticas dirigidas pelo governo central, mesmo na área de segurança e defesa, depende das mediações em escalas local e regional que legitimam e dão forma aos resultados obtidos. Para isso, analisamos os documentos relativosao PCN, a relação entre o PCN e as demais políticas de controle territorial na Amazônia e o mapeamento das verbas aplicadas pelo PCN nos municípios de sua área de abrangência, entre 2003 e 2007.Palavras-chave: Programa Calha Norte; segurança; Amazônia brasileira; fronteiras; Forças Armadas. Abstract: The Programa Calha Norte – PCN (The “Calha Norte” Programme) was designed in the 1980s but took on new configurations after its resumption in 2003.This article analyzes the differences between the former and the later moments at the PCN, considering the redefinition of Brazilian security and defense policies for the Amazon international borders in the last two decades. The main argument is that changes in the PCN between these two periods show how the implementation of policies directed by the central government, even in security and defense, depends on the mediation of local and regional scale that legitimize and shape the results. For this argumentation the documents relating to the PCN, the relationship between the PCN and other policies of territorial control in Amazônia and the mapping of the funds applied by the PCN in the municipalities of their coverage area, between 2003 and 2007, are analysed. Keywords: Calha Norte Programme; security; Brazilian Amazon; borders; military.
Entre o legal e o extralegal: a reatualização da remoção de favelas no Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Magalhães Alexandre 
Published: January 2017

O presente trabalho é parte da pesquisa de doutorado sobre o que tenho chamado de reatualização da remoção de favelas no Rio de Janeiro. Nesta pesquisa, acompanho diversas experiências de remoção conduzidas pela prefeitura. Concentro a minha análise, neste artigo, naqueles processos de remoção que estão ocorrendo devido às intervenções urbanísticas que visam preparar a cidade para a Copa do Mundo de 2014 e as Olimpíadas de 2016. Argumento que, em situações de remoção, a relação entre os aparatos estatais e os moradores de favelas se constitui por meio da exceção. As práticas estatais nestes territórios não poderiam ser entendidas em termos de lei e transgressão, mas como práticas que se encontrariam simultaneamente dentro e fora da lei. Palavras-chave: favelas; remoção; lei; exceção. Abstract: This paper presents part of the research for my doctoral thesis about the process that I call recapitulating the slums removal in Rio de Janeiro. In this research, I followed several removal conducted by the city government. I concentrate the analysis in the removals processes that are occurring due to urban interventions that aim to prepare the city for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. I argue that in situations of displacement, the relationship between the state apparatus and the slum dwellers is constituted by exception. The state practices in these areas could not be understood in terms of law and transgression, but as practices that are simultaneously inside and outside the law. Keywords: slums removal; law; exception.
Entre avanços e retrocessos: as contradições ou armadilhas da participação no planejamento urbano participativo
Authors: Pupo Samuel , Bueno Laura Machado de Mello 
Published: January 2017

O presente artigo tem por finalidade analisar as inovações institucionais de participação da sociedade civil e problematizar analiticamente a representação política exercida pelos Conselhos Gestores de Políticas Públicas, sob a ótica da representação política tradicional. Para tanto, realiza um estudo de caso sobre a política pública de manejo de águas pluviais, do Programa Saneamento para Todos do governo federal, no município de Jundiaí, estado de São Paulo. No que diz respeito à política urbana, o resultado da pesquisa revela a contradição existente entre, por um lado, a esperança nos processos participativos depositada pela influente literatura das áreas de urbanismo e ciência política em um contexto de transição e reforma democrática, e de outro, o prevalecimento de um modelo extremamente desigual de acesso à urbanidade. Palavras-chave: conselhos gestores; sociedade civil; gestão urbana; democracia participativa; representação política. Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyze the institutional innovations of civic participation and to discuss the political representation enabled by popular councils of public policies, from the perspective of traditional political representation. It presents a case study of a policy for rainwater management, the Saneamento para Todos Program of the Federal Government, as it was established in Jundiaí, São Paulo State. The research reveals a contradiction: on the one hand, a sense of hope on participatory processes, influenced by the literature on the fields of urban studies and political sciences in the Brazilian context of democratic transition and reform along with participatory processes, and, on the other hand, the persistence of a extremely unequal kind of access to urban facilities and urban rights. Keywords: management councils; civil society; urban management; participatory democracy; political representation.
Ordenamento territorial, meio ambiente e desenvolvimento regional: novas questões, possíveis articulações
Authors: Peres Renata Bovo , Chiquito Elisângela De Almeida 
Published: January 2017

A questão regional e a discussão sobre a territorialidade das estratégias de desenvolvimento vêm retomando seu espaço, acompanhadas pelo chamado “novo desenvolvimentismo” e pela consolidação da questão ambiental. Esta retomada ocorre através de novas posturas para a integração de políticas regionais historicamente herdadas ou recentemente constituídas. Embora tenha havido avanços significativos na redefinição das escalas de planejamento, dos instrumentos de gestão e de instituições de âmbito regional, persistem entraves que impedem um movimento em direção à sua efetiva integração. O país ainda apresenta múltiplas territorialidades e uma gama de políticas, programas e projetos voltados ao desenvolvimento social e econômico que conformam um quadro político-administrativo de setorialização das políticas públicas e de territórios fragmentados e desconexos, em uma conjuntura que acentua a exclusão social. A compreensão deste percurso e a reflexão sobre as possibilidades atuais de construção de uma Política de Ordenamento Territorial são os objetivos deste artigo. Palavras-chave: ordenamento territorial; políticas públicas; planejamento; desenvolvimento regional; questão ambiental. Abstract: Regional issue and debate on the territoriality of development strategies are resuming its place, accompanied by so-called ‘new developmentalism’ and the consolidation of environmental issues. This occurs around new attitudes aiming integration of regional policies, historically inherited or newly formed. Although there have been significant advances in the redefinition of planning scales, in the management tools and on regional institutions, obstacles remains toward their effective integration. Brazil has multiple territorialities and a set of policies, programs and projects aimed at the social and economic development that makes a political-administrative scenery characterized by sectorial public policies and fragmented and disjointed territories, that reinforce the social exclusion. The objectives of this paper are understanding the evolution of these policies and thinking about the current possibilities to build a Territorial Management Policy. Keywords: territorial management; public policies; planning; regional development; environmental issue.
Uma proposta de identificação de perfis regionais no Brasil: a centralidade e a mobilidade espacial da população
Authors: Lobo Carlos , Matos Ralfo , Garcia Ricardo A. 
Published: January 2017

Nas últimas décadas do século passado, como resultado da dinâmica migratória interna, ampliaram-se as evidências acerca da redução do peso relativo das metrópoles. Ao mesmo tempo, intensificava-se a rede urbana nas demais regiões de influência das cidades. Essas novas tendências de redistribuição espacial da população requerem tanto o aprimoramento do aparato teórico-metodológico disponível às ciências humanas e sociais, como o desenvolvimento de novas metodologias de análise regional. Esse trabalho procura elaborar uma proposta de classificação regional, tendo como referência a centralidade e a mobilidade espacial da população. A partir do recorte regional proposto por Garcia (2002) foi possível identificar determinados perfis espaciais, definidos com base nos estoques de população residente e nos fluxos migratórios extraídos dos microdados da amostra do Censo Demográfico de 2010. A proposta apresentada reforça as possibilidades e potencialidades dos estudos regionais, no que tange não apenas ao estabelecimento de recortes regionais por meio de técnicas de regionalização. Palavras-chave: migrações; regiões; população; centralidade; mobilidade. Abstract: In the last decades of the 20th century, the evidences of a reduction in the relative weight of metropolitan areas increased due to the dynamics of internal migration. At the same time, the urban network in other regions of influence of cities gained importance. These new trends of spatial redistribution of the population require both the improvement of theoretical and methodological apparatus available on Humanities and social sciences and the development of new methodologies of regional analysis. This work seeks to develop a proposal for regional classification based on the centrality and the spatial mobility of population. From the proposed regional division by Garcia (2002) it was possible to identify certain spatial profiles, defined on the basis of the resident population stocks and flows extracted from a microdata sample of the 2010 census. This proposal reinforces the possibilities and potentials of regional studies, with respect to not only the establishment of regional division through regionalization techniques. Keywords: migration; regions; population; centrality; mobility.

Local consolidative therapy may be beneficial in patients with oligometastatic non‐small cell lung cancer
Authors: Barton Mary Kay 
Published: January 2017

Key Points

PFS was found to be significantly increased with the use of local consolidative therapy in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC with stable or responding disease after standard frontline systemic therapy.
This study provides evidence that is in keeping with an increasingly common approach in patients with advanced NSCLC.
Larger studies and longer follow‐up are needed to confirm an overall survival advantage and improve patient selection.
The Eighth Edition AJCC Cancer Staging Manual: Continuing to build a bridge from a population‐based to a more “personalized” approach to cancer staging

AbstractThe American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging manual has become the benchmark for classifying patients with cancer, defining prognosis, and determining the best treatment approaches. Many view the primary role of the tumor, lymph node, metastasis (TNM) system as that of a standardized classification system for evaluating cancer at a population level in terms of the extent of disease, both at initial presentation and after surgical treatment, and the overall impact of improvements in cancer treatment. The rapid evolution of knowledge in cancer biology and the discovery and validation of biologic factors that predict cancer outcome and response to treatment with better accuracy have led some cancer experts to question the utility of a TNM‐based approach in clinical care at an individualized patient level. In the Eighth Edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, the goal of including relevant, nonanatomic (including molecular) factors has been foremost, although changes are made only when there is strong evidence for inclusion. The editorial board viewed this iteration as a proactive effort to continue to build the important bridge from a “population‐based” to a more “personalized” approach to patient classification, one that forms the conceptual framework and foundation of cancer staging in the era of precision molecular oncology. The AJCC promulgates best staging practices through each new edition in an effort to provide cancer care providers with a powerful, knowledge‐based resource for the battle against cancer. In this commentary, the authors highlight the overall organizational and structural changes as well as “what's new” in the Eighth Edition. It is hoped that this information will provide the reader with a better understanding of the rationale behind the aggregate proposed changes and the exciting developments in the upcoming edition.

Predicting the need for trochleoplasty in canine patellar luxation using pre- and intra-operative assessments of trochlear depth
Authors: Hansen Julie Skovgaard , Lindeblad Ken , Buelund Lene , Miles James 
Published: January 2017

SummaryObjectives: To evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of ultrasonographic fe-moral trochlear depth measurements and to compare ultrasonographic and intra-operative evaluations of femoral trochlear depth for predictive value in selecting trochleoplasty.Methods: Repeatability and reproducibility of an ultrasonographic protocol were tested in a preclinical cadaveric study. Clinical patients undergoing corrective surgery for patellar luxation were evaluated preoperatively with ultrasound and intra-operatively using a depth gauge. Measurements were assessed for equivalence using linear regression, and agreement between decisions made based on these measurements assessed using Cohen’s kappa.Results: Although ultrasonographic and intra-operative measurements were in broad agreement, the prediction interval was too wide for clinical use. There was no significant agreement between predictions of the need for trochleoplasty using various cut-off values for the two measurements, nor between these and the surgeon’s decision.Clinical significance: Based on our observations, use of ultrasound for evaluation of the femoral trochlea remains a largely qualitative assessment. A simpler and more direct objective measure of femoral trochlear adequacy is required for intra-operative use.Supplementary Material to this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.3415/VCOT-16-06-0084
Postoperative computed tomography and low-field magnetic resonance imaging findings in dogs with degenerative lumbosacral stenosis treated by dorsal laminectomy
Authors: Ley Charles , Hansson Kerstin , Sjöström Lennart , Rapp Martin 
Published: January 2017

SummaryObjectives: To describe postoperative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in dogs with degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLSS) treated by dorsal laminectomy and partial discectomy.Methods: Prospective clinical case study of dogs diagnosed with and treated for DLSS. Surgical and clinical findings were described. Computed tomography and low field MRI findings pre- and postoperatively were described and graded. Clinical, CT and MRI examinations were performed four to 18 months after surgery.Results: Eleven of 13 dogs were clinically improved and two dogs had unchanged clinical status postoperatively despite imaging signs of neural compression. Vacuum phenomenon, spondylosis, sclerosis of the seventh lumbar (L7) and first sacral (S1) vertebrae endplates and lumbosacral intervertebral joint osteoarthritis became more frequent in postoperative CT images. Postoperative MRI showed mild disc extrusions in five cases, and in all cases contrast enhancing non-discal tissue was present. All cases showed contrast enhancement of the L7 spinal nerves both pre- and postoperatively and seven had contrast enhancement of the lumbosacral intervertebral joints and paraspinal tissue postoperatively. Articular process fractures or fissures were noted in four dogs.Clinical significance: The study indicates that imaging signs of neural compression are common after DLSS surgery, even in dogs that have clinical improvement. Contrast enhancement of spinal nerves and soft tissues around the region of disc herniation is common both pre- and postoperatively and thus are unreliable criteria for identifying complications of the DLSS surgery.Supplementary Material to this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.3415/VCOT-16-06-0096
Evaluation of the optimal plate position for the fixation of supraglenoid tubercle fractures in warmbloods
Authors: Frei Sina , Geyer Hans , Hoey Seamus , Fuerst Anton , Bischofberger Andrea 
Published: January 2017

SummaryObjectives: To determine scapular cortex thickness, distal scapular bone density and describe the exact suprascapular nerve course to evaluate the best plate position for the fixation of supraglenoid tubercle fractures in horses.Methods: Twelve equine cadaveric shoulders were examined with computed tomography. Computed tomography morphometry and density measurements (Hounsfield units [HU]) of the scapula were recorded. Statistical comparisons were made between the cranial and caudal aspects of the scapula. Dissection of each shoulder was performed and the suprascapular nerve course was described morphometrically and morphologically.Results: The suprascapular nerve was found on the periosteum and embedded in connective tissue at the cranial aspect of the scapula. It ramified proximally and distally into the supraspinatus muscle, coursed caudo laterally at a median of 2 cm (1–2 cm) distal to the scapular spine and ramified proximally and distally into the infraspinatus muscle. The scapular cortex measurements (HU) cranially were significantly larger than caudally at most levels of the scapula. The bone density of the distal scapula cranially (651.3 ± 104.2) was significantly lower than caudally (745.7 ± 179.1).Clinical significance: For surgical access to the supraglenoid tubercle, knowledge of the anatomy is important. It is easiest to avoid the suprascapular nerve at the most cranial aspect of the scapula, where it has not yet ramified. For a stable fixation, knowledge of the characteristics of the equine scapula, such as scapular cortex thickness, is important.
