A Canola Cultivar‐Testing Dataset Used to Calculate Stress Tolerance Indices and Crossover Interactions
Authors: Zeleke K. T. , Luckett D. J. 
Published: December 2016

Core Ideas
Canola yield data were analyzed for 144 cultivars over 7 yr and 100 sites.
Cultivars showed large differences for the stress tolerance index.
Cultivars worthy of further stress‐tolerance studies were identified.
G×E crossover analysis showed that adaptation was more often specific than general.
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is a major temperate crop in Australia, and there is a dynamic commercial breeding industry producing new cultivars for growers. Improved stress tolerance in canola cultivars is of increasing importance, but it is difficult to detect and to breed for. Public‐sector researchers need reliable information on which existing cultivars possess good stress tolerance and can be used as germplasm sources for traits worthy of pre‐breeding research. We utilized the Australian National Variety Trial (NVT) data for released canola cultivars to examine two aspects of canola performance. First, the stress tolerance of cultivars was examined using low‐yielding vs. high‐yielding environments. Second, the genotype × environment interactions of cultivars were investigated and whether or not they exhibited significant crossover interaction, indicating general or specific adaptation. The NVT dataset consisted of results for 144 cultivars tested over 7 yr (2008–2014) at 101 locations and in 782 field plot experiments. Large differences in stress tolerance were seen in the data, and certain cultivars are recommended as candidates for further investigation. Many cultivars showed genotype × environment crossover interactions, indicating specific rather than general adaptation, although a few exceptional cultivars were high yielding and stable.

Published: December 2016

Core IdeasChemical and biochemical properties of eroded Mollisols were determined to assess the amending of the effect of organic manure on eroded Mollisols.Organic manure in combination with NPK increased soil organic carbon and total nitrogen, but C/N ratios changed irregularly.Organic manure in combination with NPK increased all biochemical indicators selected in eroded Mollisols.Combination of organic manure and chemical fertilizers is recommended to amend eroded Mollisols.Soil chemical and biochemical properties are important indicators in assessing soil quality. To investigate the effect of manure application on eroded Mollisols, soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), C/N ratio, and potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), urease activity, and sucrase activity were determined after 8‐yr application of cattle manure in combination with chemical fertilizers in a soil erosion simulation facility by removing the topsoil by 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 cm in a typical Mollisols region in China. All parameters except C/N ratio showed a declining trend with the increasing of erosion depth. Soil organic C, TN, PMN, MBC, urease activity, and sucrase activity were 11 to 23, 5 to 9, 5 to 16, 11 to 19, 18 to 32 and 13 to 37% higher under the chemical fertilizer + manure treatment than the chemical fertilizer alone plots, respectively. The C/N ratios did not change significantly with the increase of erosion depth, but they were also 5 to 17% higher in the chemical fertilizer + manure treatment than that in the chemical fertilizer alone treatment. Eight‐year application of cattle manure in combination with chemical fertilizers improved soil quality of eroded Mollisols, but was not good enough to restore the fertility of eroded Mollisols to that of non‐eroded soils.

Published: December 2016

Objectives:To compare the muscle pathology findings among subgroups of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) patients, and to determine the correlations of muscle biopsy scores with muscle power and creatine kinase (CK).Methods:The medical records of IIM patients consisting of the demographic data, clinical parameters and laboratory conducted were retrospectively reviewed. Their initial muscle biopsies were reviewed, and four domains were scored: inflammation, vascular, muscle, and connective tissue.Results:Ninety-five IIM patients (28 patients with idiopathic polymyositis (PM) 9 idiopathic dermatomyositis (DM), 5 DM associated with malignancy, and 53 PM/DM associated with connective tissue disease) with median (IQR: Q1, Q3) disease duration of 1.2 (0.5, 3.1) months were included. No significant differences in initial muscle pathology findings and muscle pathology score among the subgroups were found. Muscle degeneration and endomysial fibrosis scores were negatively correlated with muscle power (r=-0.23 and-0.24, respectively, p<0.05) and positively correlated with CK (r=0.27 and 0.39, respectively, p<0.01). No significant correlation was detected either inflammation or vasculitis scores with muscle power and CK levels.Conclusion:In this study, muscle biopsy cannot be used to differentiate among subgroups of IIM patients. In addition, we found only modest correlation of muscle biopsy scores with muscle power and CK. Further study is necessary to confirm our findings.

Published: December 2016

A investigação acerca da comunicação interna na empresa e a loucura corporativa têm por objetivo analisar a relação entre os homens, o trabalho e a loucura. A relação vivenciada no espaço organizacional é orquestrada pela comunicação interna da empresa que, através das normas internas e externas, define atitudes e rege a atividade laboral. Submetidos às pressões das normas, os homens entram em conflito e enredados por uma das raízes da cultura, os estados alterados de consciência, se perdem de si mesmos resvalando o universo da loucura real ouimaginária.
Os desafios para as Micro e Pequenas Empresas no Brasil com A Harmonização Contábil Internacional: um estudo de caso sobre Mortugaba
Authors: Castro Monara Souza , Santos Fernando Almeida 
Published: December 2016

O objetivo do trabalho é demonstrar as dificuldades de realizar a contabilização das empresas na Cidade de Mortugaba, devido à falta de profissionais qualificados, principalmente para as empresas de pequenos e médio porte. Com isso, descrever as condições em que a contabilidade é realizada, em uma cidade de interior, onde o acesso a informações e tecnologias são ainda remotas e conhecer limitações e a forma de acesso a informações contábeis e tecnológicas usadas para aplicar a Contabilidade.O trabalho consiste em uma pesquisa dedutiva, que utiliza de pesquisa bibliográfica, relato histórico e estudo de caso. O corpo do trabalho aborda a profissão do contador, as demonstrações contábeis e a NBC TG -1000 e estudo de caso sobre Mortugaba, cidade do interior da Bahia. Depois de ver duas situações exemplo no estudo de caso, pode-se ter uma breve visão de como a Contabilidade é conhecida e tratada pelos micro e pequenos empresários em uma cidade do interior do Brasil. As dificuldades geográficas, regionais e culturais também são responsáveis por tal fato. No caso específico abordado em Mortugaba, nota-se que a Contabilidade é pouco utilizada pela administração das empresas para o processo de decisão. Diante de tal dificuldade, nota-se a necessidade para que o Governo Federal repensar políticas públicas de estruturação trazendo novas formas de capacitação e formação para futuros contadores. Sendo esse um passo inicial para a implantação da TG 1.000 em todo o País.

Published: December 2016

Justiça organizacional é um importante preditor de afetos, atitudes e comportamentos no trabalho como comprometimento, satisfação, performance e rotatividade. Apesar disso, não foram encontrados estudos brasileiros sobre justiça organizacional considerando profissionais de telemarketing, uma atividade caracterizada por altos índices de rotatividade, competitividade e pressão por resultados. O presente estudo buscou investigar a percepção de justiça organizacional de colaboradores de call center e sua relação com variáveis sociolaborais. Participaram 118 profissionais vinculados a uma empresa de call center que atua em cidades do Estado de São Paulo. Para coleta de dados foi utilizada a Escala de Percepção de Justiça Organizacional (Epjo), composta por 20 itens, contendo três fatores: justiça distributiva, processual e interacional. Para esta amostra, os índices de confiabilidade variaram entre 0,86 e 0,93, indicando que a Epjo é válida para a amostra analisada. Os dados coletados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e análise de variância multivariada. Os resultados indicaram que os participantes perceberam justiça organizacional, havendo compartilhamento de percepções entre os respondentes. Foram identificadas diferenças significativas nos escores de justiça distributiva e processual em função do tempo de organização e, apenas para justiça distributiva, nas interações entre tempo de organização e as variáveis cidade e estado civil.
Effects of mixing speed of a composite on its friction coefficient and wear resistance
Authors: Cheng Yao 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
In this work, we investigated the effects of mixing speed on the tribological performance of a composite prepared with potassium titanate whiskers, palygorskites, and aramid fibers during the mixing process. The results showed that for the aramid fibers with a uniformity of 5–6 mm, 500 rad min−1 was the best speed compared with 800 rad min−1 and 1 000 rad min−1, whereas for the uniformity of aramid pulp, 800 rad min−1 was the best speed. Furthermore, based on scanning electron microscopy analysis, it was demonstrated that the tribological performance of the composite, in particular, the friction coefficient with the aramid pulp exhibited a good stability, and its wear resistance was increased by 12%.

Deliberate employment of postoperative hypotension for brain arteriovenous malformation surgery and the incidence of delayed postoperative hemorrhage: a prospective cohort study
Authors: Morgan Michael Kerin , Wiedmann Markus Karl Hermann , Assaad Nazih N. A. , Parr Michael J. A. , Heller Gillian Z. 
Published: December 2016

OBJECTIVEThe aim of this study was to examine the impact of deliberate employment of postoperative hypotension on delayed postoperative hemorrhage (DPH) for all Spetzler-Ponce Class (SPC) C brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) and SPC B bAVMs ≥ 3.5 cm in diameter (SPC B 3.5+).METHODSA protocol of deliberate employment of postoperative hypotension was introduced in June 1997 for all SPC C and SPC B 3.5+ bAVMs. The aim was to achieve a maximum mean arterial blood pressure (BP) ≤ 70 mm Hg (with cerebral perfusion pressure > 50 mm Hg) for a minimum of 7 days after resection of bAVMs (BP protocol). The authors compared patients who experienced DPH (defined as brain hemorrhage into the resection bed that resulted in a new neurological deficit or that resulted in reoperation during the hospitalization for microsurgical bAVM resection) between 2 periods (prior to adopting the BP protocol and after introduction of the BP protocol) and 4 bAVM categories (SPC A, SPC B 3.5− [that is, SPC B < 3.5 cm maximum diameter], SPC B 3.5+, and SPC C). Patients excluded from treatment by the BP protocol were managed in the intensive care unit to avoid moderate hypertensive episodes. The pooled cases of all bAVM treated by surgery were analyzed to identify characteristics associated with the risk of DPH. These identified characteristics were then examined by multiple logistic regression analysis in both SPC B 3.5+ and SPC C cases.RESULTSFrom a cohort of 641 bAVMs treated by microsurgery, 32 patients with DPH were identified. Of those, 66% (95% CI 48–80) had a permanent new neurological deficit with a modified Rankin Scale score of 2–6. This included a mortality rate of 13% (95% CI 4.4–29). The BP protocol was used to treat 162 patients with either SPC B 3.5+ or SPC C. For SPC B 3.5+, there was no significant reduction in DPH with the introduction of the BP protocol (p = 0.77). For SPC C, there was a significant (p = 0.035) reduction of DPH from 29% (95% CI 13%–53%) to 8.2% (95% CI 3.2%–18%) associated with the introduction of the BP protocol. Multiple logistic regression analysis found that the absence of the BP protocol (p = 0.011, odds ratio 7.5, 95% CI 1.6–36) remained significant for the development of DPH in patients with SPC C bAVMs.CONCLUSIONSTreating patients with SPC C bAVMs with a protocol that lowers BP immediately after resection seems to reduce the risk of DPH. For SPC A and SPC B 3.5− bAVMs, there is unlikely to be a need to do more than avoid postoperative hypertension. For SPC B 3.5+ bAVMs, a larger number of patients would be required to test the absence of benefit of the BP protocol.

Published: December 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To characterize the in vivo microstructural features of patients with history of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
A single-center, retrospective imaging case series during which a chart review was performed of consecutive patients with history of ROP who underwent spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with or without enhanced depth imaging. Eyes with time-domain OCT, no light perception, or uninterpretable SD-OCT images were excluded. Main outcome measures included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and exploratory SD-OCT findings.

RESULTS:

A total of 186 eyes of 112 patients (mean age: 31.5 years; range: 8 years to 70 years) were imaged. Mean visual acuity was 20/150 (range: 20/20 to light perception). Mean foveal thickness (MFT) and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) measured 270.93 µm ± 56.40 µm and 239.87 µm ± 73.00 µm, respectively. There was a negative correlation between ROP stage and MFT (Rho = −0.19;
P
= .027), but not with SCT (Rho = −0.03;
P
= .748). There were negative correlations between BCVA and MFT (Rho = −0.23;
P
< .01) and SCT (Rho = −0.19;
P
= .04). Ellipsoid zone (EZ) abnormalities, inner retinal layer thickening, and presence of chorioretinal atrophy were associated with higher ROP stage (
P
< .001) and poorer visual acuity (Rho = 0.59;
P
< .001). The presence of retinoschisis (n = 36/186; 19%) was associated with poorer visual acuity (
P
< .001), but did not correlate with higher ROP stage (
P
= .17). Epiretinal membrane-like dense hyaloidal organization and vitreoretinal interface abnormalities were seen in 69% (130/186) and 33% (63/186) of eyes, respectively, but were not associated with ROP stage (
P
= .87) or visual acuity (
P
= .54). After controlling for EZ abnormalities, foveal hypoplasia, macular schisis, inner retinal thickening, chorioretinal atrophy, and ROP stage, the independent risk factors for poorer visual acuity were EZ abnormalities (Beta = 0.38;
P
< .001), chorioretinal atrophy (Beta = 0.18;
P
= .03), and ROP stage (Beta = 0.22;
P
< .01).

CONCLUSION:
SD-OCT imaging identified a variety of microstructural abnormalities present in patients with history of ROP.

Measurement the “Q” angle through the application of direct method and indirect method
Authors: Vanzeli C. , Reis A. , Pereira A. , Tavares M. , Fazan V. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Introduction: The “Q” angle is used to measure global alignment of the kneecap, representing the kneecap normal alignment. The average of 15 degrees in ordinary people is accepted as “Q” angle value, 14 degrees for men and 17 degrees for women. Anatomic changes caused by variants produces converging kneecaps or lateral deviation of the tibial tuberosity, changing the “Q” angle value and causing pathologies. Objective: Measure the “Q” angle of asymptomatic people, comparing obtained results. Materials and Methods: The “Q” angle measurement was taken from 12 subjects (6 males and 6 females), with ages from 18 to 35, at the Physiotherapy Clinic of José do Rosario Vellano College, in Alfenas, MG. Results: After evaluating the 12 subjects following ANOVA test, using p < 0.05, no significant statistic difference could be observed among examiners, gender or right and left limbs, considering both direct and indirect methods. Conclusion: Data obtained in this research allows us suggest that there is no difference between “Q” angle values among genders, direct and indirect methods and lateral symmetry.
