Introdução: A maioria das perturbações mentais tem uma evolução crónica pelo que certos reinternamentos são inevitáveis. Vários estudos indicam taxas de reinternamento pedopsiquiátrico superiores a 25%. O nosso objetivo é calcular as taxas de readmissão no internamento pedopsiquiátrico do Centro Hospitalar do Porto a 30 dias e um ano após a alta, e identificar os fatores de risco associados.Material e Métodos: A metodologia consistiu na consulta dos processos clínicos dos doentes internados na Unidade de Internamento do Centro Hospitalar do Porto entre 2010 e 2013, a fim de calcular as taxas de readmissão. Foram também recolhidas as características demográficas e clínicas dos doentes readmitidos. Finalmente, os resultados do grupo de doentes reinternados foram comparados com um segundo grupo de doentes selecionados aleatoriamente e sem readmissões hospitalares, a fim de investigar possíveis fatores de risco para reinternamentos.Resultados: Um total de 445 doentes foi admitido entre 2010 e 2013. Seis adolescentes foram readmitidos no período de 30 dias (1,3%) e 52 foram readmitidos nos 12 meses após a alta (11,5%). A análise comparativa revelou que a duração do internamento e o número de internamentos anteriores são preditores significativos (p = 0,04 e p = 0,014) para reinternamento.Discussão: As baixas taxas de readmissão podem refletir não só a eficácia da intervenção terapêutica durante o internamento como também um bom suporte clínico e sociofamiliar após a alta.Conclusão: Os reinternamentos são considerados um alvo fundamental quanto à prevenção e intervenção nos cuidados de saúde mental. Assim, o conhecimento sobre a sua minimização é crucial.

Core Ideas
The soaking kinetics of seeds of six cultivated species was modeled.Morphological and physical properties of seeds affected the water absorption.Two models were adapted in order to capture the third phase of the soaking process.
Several models can be used to describe the seed soaking curve, which, under optimal conditions, occurs according to a three‐phase pattern. Among these models, the Peleg model stands out by its wide use. However, phase III (of germination itself) is not captured by this and other common models in seed soaking curves. The soaking curves of pea (Pisum sativum L.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), onion (Allium cepa L.), welsh onion (A. fistulosum L.), maize (Zea mays L.), and millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] seeds, diverging for physical and morphological properties, were obtained with the following objectives: (i) to propose models to fully describe the kinetics of soaking of seeds, capturing the three stages of the process; (ii) to identify the most appropriate model for each species; (iii) to identify the phases of the soaking process; (iv) to relate physical and morphological properties of seeds, such as bulk density, sphericity, with the soaking kinetics. Five models were fitted: third degree polynomial, Peleg model, logistic model, an adaptation of the logistic model and an adaptation of the Peleg model, both adaptations with the addition of an exponential term with two parameters. The species P. sativum (pea) and L. culinares (lentil) did not present the third stage of the process. In this case, the Peleg model shall be used. On the other hand, the other species presented the three phases. The adaptation of the Peleg equation was quite effective in modeling the seed soaking curve of those species. The water absorption capacity is negatively correlated with the seed's sphericity and density.
The Sardinian Puzzle: Concentration of Major Psychoses and Suicide in the Same Sub-Regions Across One Century
Authors: Bocchetta Alberto , Traccis Francesco 
Published: November 2017

Background:Sardinia, the second largest Mediterranean island has long been considered a privileged observatory for the study of several medical conditions. The peculiar epidemiology of mood disorders and suicide across Sardinian sub-regions has long intrigued clinicians and researchers.Objective:The principal aim of the present study was to test whether the geographical distribution of suicides committed in Sardinian over the last three decades are comparable with the geographical origin of patients hospitalized up to half a century ago.Method:The distribution of the municipalities of origin of the patients hospitalized in Sardinia between 1901 and 1964 for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression was reanalyzed and compared with the distribution of municipalities where suicides were committed between 1980 and 2013. Data were also analyzed by the altitude above the sea level and by the population size of the municipalities.Results:There was a significant variation of hospitalization and suicide rates across Sardinian sub-regions. The sub-regions of origin of the patients hospitalized for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder correlated with each other (P= 0.047). Both hospitalizations and suicides were more incident in municipalities with a higher altitude and a smaller population size. The incidence of hospitalizations and suicides correlated significantly with each other both at the municipality (P= 1.86 x 10-7) and at the sub-region level (P= 1.71 x 10-7).Conclusion:The present study confirms the peculiar geographical distribution of major psychoses and suicide in Sardinia. The two phenomena appear to have been correlated for as long as one century.

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION 7 juvenile (< 12 months old) dogs with lung lobe torsion were evaluated.
CLINICAL FINDINGS All patients were male; breeds included Pug (n = 5), Chinese Shar-Pei (1), and Bullmastiff (1). Dyspnea and lethargy were the most common initial complaints, with a duration of clinical signs ranging from 1 to 10 days. A CBC showed leukocytosis and neutrophilia in all dogs. Anemia was present in 6 dogs, 2 of which received packed RBC transfusions. The diagnosis was made on the basis of results of thoracic radiography, CT, ultrasonography, or a combination of modalities. The left cranial lung lobe was most commonly affected (n = 4), followed by the right middle lung lobe (2) and the right cranial lung lobe (1).
TREATMENT AND OUTCOME A lateral intercostal thoracotomy with lobectomy of the affected lobe was performed in all patients. All dogs survived to be discharged between 1 and 2 days postoperatively. Six of 7 owners contacted for follow-up information 7 to 170 months after discharge reported satisfaction with the treatment and no apparent signs of recurrence of disease.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE The juvenile patients of this report were successfully treated surgically with no apparent complications. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of lung lobe torsion when evaluating young dogs with clinical signs related to the respiratory system, including those with vague signs, to avoid undue delays in treatment.
Catalytic effect of capital transfers in a federal context: the case of Spanish regions
Authors: Vallés-Giménez Jaime , Zárate-Marco Anabel 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
There is a broad theoretical consensus on the effects of transfers (desired incentive impacts and induced adverse effects). But, as the literature review shows, there is not an accepted methodology for the empirical evaluation of these effects. The authors suggest a simple but rigorous empirical approach to quantify the catalytic effect of conditioned transfers for investment and their asymmetric impact across regions in Spain. To identify this behaviour, they have applied different empirical approaches with frontier techniques that let them consider the frontier as a proxy for potential investment. The results show that the conditioned transfers received by the regions from higher levels of government have a stimulus effect for investments, especially in the poor regions. The authors identify several factors explaining this unbalanced catalytic effect: the political cost of tax collection, political factors, inadequate management of debt, and other variables such as the level of economic development, population density, and the economic cycle.
How costly are public sector inefficiencies? A theoretical framework for rationalising fiscal consolidations
Authors: Onrubia-Fernández Jorge , Fuentes A. Jesús Sánchez 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Fiscal adjustments consisting of spending cuts or tax increases are generally presented as the unavoidable way for achieving public finance sustainability in the long term. However, this view of fiscal consolidation processes is limited as it leaves out other aspects related to public sector performance which are relevant not only from the macroeconomic but also from the microeconomic perspective. This paper models Public Sector Performance (PSP) by proposing a theoretical framework that integrates the conventional methodology for measuring its productive efficiency and the monetary assessment of social welfare changes linked to public policy reforms. Two equivalent measures of social welfare change generated by improving (or worsening) productive efficiency are deduced using duality theory. The first is obtained from the cost function, while the second arises directly from the production function. The results reveal that taking advantage of budgetary savings obtained from this approach constitutes a valuable tool for designing welfareenhancing fiscal consolidation packages, meanwhile promoting sound fiscal balances and growth prospects over the long term.

Abstract. The Ivrea–Verbano Zone is the most complete, time-integrated crust–upper mantle archive in the world. It is a unique target for assembling data on the deep crust and the Moho transition zone and testing several hypotheses of formation, evolution, and modification of the continental crust through space and time across the Earth. The ICDP workshop Drilling the Ivrea–Verbano zonE (DIVE), held in Baveno, Italy, from 1 to 5 May 2017, focused on the scientific objectives and the technical aspects of drilling and sampling in the Ivrea–Verbano Zone at depth. A total of 47 participants from 9 countries with a wide variety of scientific and/or drilling expertise attended the meeting. Discussion on the proposed targets sharpened the main research lines and led to working groups and the necessary technical details to compile the full drilling proposal. The participants of the workshop concluded that four drilling operations in the Val Sesia and Val d'Ossola crustal sections represent the scientifically most promising solution to achieve the major goals within DIVE to unravel the physico-chemical properties and architecture of the lower continental crust towards the crust–mantle (Moho) transition zone.
Os sentidos produzidos para a violência contra as mulheres a partir da perspectiva dos profissionais da delegacia especializada de atendimento à mulher de Betim-MG

Published: November 2017

<p>Este artigo apresenta os resultados da pesquisa de mestrado “Os sentidos produzidos para a violência contra as mulheres pela equipe da delegacia especializada de atendimento às mulheres de Betim-MG” (2015), que buscou compreender os sentidos produzidos para a violência contra as mulheres pela equipe da Delegacia Especializada de Atendimento à Mulher (DEAM) de Betim-MG e os atravessamentos desses sentidos na condução dos atendimentos prestados às mulheres. A pesquisa de cunho qualitativo foi realizada na DEAM, onde foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os dez profissionais que compõem a equipe desse serviço. As entrevistas gravadas e transcritas foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo. Foi possível perceber que a equipe da DEAM compreende que a interrupção da violência sofrida depende da atitude das mulheres. Em primeiro lugar, impedindo que a violência aconteça e, posteriormente, decidindo, sem hesitação, pelo prosseguimento do inquérito policial e do processo judicial, com o objetivo de punir os agressores. Os relatos das mulheres que sofrem violências recorrentes ou que se apresentam inseguras diante da abertura do inquérito e da continuidade do processo são interpretados como sinais de que elas próprias são responsáveis pela violência sofrida. </p>
Dry Etching with Nanoparticles: Formation of High Aspect‐Ratio Pores and Channels Using Magnetic Gold Nanoclusters

Published: November 2017

AbstractMethods for generating nanopores in substrates typically involve one or more wet‐etching steps. Here a fundamentally different approach to produce nanopores in sheet substrates under dry, ambient conditions, using nanosecond‐pulsed laser irradiation and magnetic gold nanoclusters (MGNCs) as the etching agents is described. Thermoplastic films (50–75 µm thickness) are coated with MGNCs then exposed to laser pulses with a coaxial magnetic field gradient, resulting in high‐aspect ratio channels with tapered cross sections as characterized by confocal fluorescence tomography. The dry‐etching process is applicable to a wide variety of substrates ranging from fluoropolymers to borosilicate glass, with etch rates in excess of 1 µm s–1. Finite‐element modeling suggests that the absorption of laser pulses by MGNCs can produce temperature spikes of nearly 1000 °C, which is sufficient for generating photoacoustic responses that can drive particles into the medium, guided by magnetomotive force.

Published: November 2017

AbstractA new one‐pot reaction between N‐tosylhydrazones, nitrogen‐containing heterocycles and amines has been developed. Depending on the reaction conditions chosen, the C−C or C−N bond formation has occurred as a first step controlling the functionalization of the heterocycle. A library of highly substituted heterocycles was then synthesized in moderate to excellent yields.magnified image

Published: November 2017

AbstractWe report meta‐ and para‐selective linear alkylation reactions of anilides with alkenes by nickel/N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and aluminum catalysis. With a less bulky NHC, the alkylation reaction of N‐methyl‐N‐phenylcyclohexanecarboxamides proceeded mainly at the meta position. In contrast, a bulky NHC ligand led to the para‐selective alkylation of N‐sec‐alkyl anilides.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe site‐selective dearomatization of naphthols is realized in a straightforward manner through a gold(I)‐catalyzed [3,3]‐sigmatropic rearrangement/allene functionalization cascade sequence. The method employs readily available naphthylpropargyl ethers as starting materials. A range of densely functionalized dihydrofurylnaphthalen‐2(1H)‐ones are obtained in high yields (up to 98 %) and extremely mild reaction conditions (reagent grade solvent, air, 10 minute reaction time). A complete theoretical elucidation of the reaction machinery is also proposed, providing a rationale for important issues such as regio‐ and chemoselectivity.
Climate change affecting oil palm agronomy, and oil palm cultivation increasing climate change, require amelioration
Authors: Paterson R. Russell M. , Lima Nelson 
Published: November 2017

AbstractPalm oil is used in various valued commodities and is a large global industry worth over US$ 50 billion annually. Oil palms (OP) are grown commercially in Indonesia and Malaysia and other countries within Latin America and Africa. The large‐scale land‐use change has high ecological, economic, and social impacts. Tropical countries in particular are affected negatively by climate change (CC) which also has a detrimental impact on OP agronomy, whereas the cultivation of OP increases CC. Amelioration of both is required. The reduced ability to grow OP will reduce CC, which may allow more cultivation tending to increase CC, in a decreasing cycle. OP could be increasingly grown in more suitable regions occurring under CC. Enhancing the soil fauna may compensate for the effect of CC on OP agriculture to some extent. The effect of OP cultivation on CC may be reduced by employing reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation plans, for example, by avoiding illegal fire land clearing. Other ameliorating methods are reported herein. More research is required involving good management practices that can offset the increases in CC by OP plantations. Overall, OP‐growing countries should support the Paris convention on reducing CC as the most feasible scheme for reducing CC.

Published: November 2017

SUMMARYTo clarify the relationship between compressive stresses and demagnetization of Nd‐Fe‐B sintered magnets, we have examined the change in domain configuration by compressive stresses using a Kerr microscope. The magnetic domains of five kinds of Nd‐Fe‐B sintered magnets have been observed. The magnets have a coercivity of 0.8 MA/m to 1.4 MA/m and residual magnetic flux density of 1.3 T to 1.5 T. Irreversible demagnetization of Nd‐Fe‐B magnets with a low coercivity of 0.875 MA/m and high residual magnetic flux density of 1.41 T to 1.47 T have occurred from applying a compressive stress of 100 MPa. The compression‐affected area is approximately 0.14%. The stress more than 50 MPa is needed to demagnetize Nd‐Fe‐B magnets. The amount of irreversible demagnetization depends upon the intensity of the compressive stress as well as the residual magnetic flux and coercive force of the magnets.
Elevated pCO2 affects the lactate metabolic shift in CHO cell culture processes

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe shift from lactate production to consumption in CHO cell metabolism is a key event during cell culture cultivations and is connected to increased culture longevity and final product titers. However, the mechanisms controlling this metabolic shift are not yet fully understood. Variations in lactate metabolism have been mainly reported to be induced by process pH and availability of substrates like glucose and glutamine. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of elevated pCO2 concentrations on the lactate metabolic shift phenomena in CHO cell culture processes. In this publication, we show that at elevated pCO2 in batch and fed‐batch cultures, the lactate metabolic shift was absent in comparison to control cultures at lower pCO2 values. Furthermore, through metabolic flux analysis we found a link between the lactate metabolic shift and the ratio of NADH producing and regenerating intracellular pathways. This ratio was mainly affected by a reduced oxidative capacity of cultures at elevated pCO2. The presented results are especially interesting for large‐scale and perfusion processes where increased pCO2 concentrations are likely to occur. Our results suggest, that so far unexplained metabolic changes may be connected to increased pCO2 accumulation in larger scale fermentations. Finally, we propose several mechanisms through which increased pCO2 might affect the cell metabolism and briefly discuss methods to enable the lactate metabolic shift during cell cultivations.
