Risk-Reducing Strategies for Ovarian Cancer in BRCA Mutation Carriers: A Balancing Act
Authors: Tschernichovsky Roi , Goodman Annekathryn 
Published: March 2017

Abstract

Objective
The objective of this study was to review the role of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in BRCA mutation (mBRCA) carriers and alternative interventions in risk reduction of ovarian cancer (OC).

Materials and Methods
A systematic review using PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library was conducted to identify studies of different strategies to prevent OC in mBRCA carriers, including bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy, intensive surveillance, and chemoprevention.

Results
Risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is an effective intervention, but its associated morbidity is substantial and seems to curtail uptake rates among the target population. Although there is much interest and a strong theoretical basis for salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy, data on its clinical application are scarce with regard to screening, the use of an algorithmic protocol has recently shown favorable albeit indefinite results in average-risk postmenopausal women. Its incorporation into studies focused on high-risk women might help solidify a future role for screening as a bridge to surgery. The use of oral contraceptives for chemoprevention is well supported by epidemiologic studies. However, there is a lack of evidence for advocating any of the other agents proposed for this purpose, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, vitamin D, and retinoids.

Conclusion
Further studies are needed before salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy or intensive surveillance can be offered as acceptable, less morbid alternatives to upfront oophorectomy for mBRCA carriers.
Climatic determinants of acorn size and germination percentage of Quercus rugosa (Fagaceae) along a latitudinal gradient in Mexico
Authors: Llanderal-Mendoza Jesús , Gugger Paul F. , Oyama Ken , Uribe-Salas Dolores , González Rodríguez Antonio 
Published: March 2017

Background. Abiotic constraints, historical effects of the last glaciation, and differential dispersal, have been proposed as potential explanations to account for the latitudinal decrease in acorn size of wide-ranging oak species distributed in the U.S. and Canada.
Hypothesis. We specifically tested the abiotic constraints hypothesis on oak acorn size in a geographical area without the counfounding influence of glaciation and related dispersal history.
Data description. Acorns from seven populations of the white oak Quercus rugosa were collected, encompassing the distribution of the species in Mexico.
Study site and years of study. Mexico, 2009-2010.
Results. Acorn length, width, mass and volume differed significantly among populations and indicated a marked clinal latitudinal reduction in acorn size. A multiple regression model revealed that this reduction in size (measured as acorn volume) can be explained by two important bioclimatic variables (growing season precipitation and growing season degree-days above 5 °C), while spatial variables (latitude and longitude) are not significant. Furthermore, germination percentage was significantly correlated to acorn mass and volume.
Conclusions. The main determinants of the latitudinal decline in acorn size are climate factors constraining seed development. This decline is maladaptive for seedling establishment, with important implications for the delination of northern limits of species ranges.
A diversity world record in a grassland at Oaxaca, Mexico

Published: March 2017

Background: Plant richness world-records have been reported to occur either in tropical rainforests, or, at smaller spatial scales, in chronically disturbed grasslands. The tight relationship between scale and record richness suggests that there is an unyielding limit to diversity.
Hypotheses: If such limit exists, current records should hardly be beaten. Chronic disturbance in grasslands allows richness to approach the limit.
Studied species: All vascular plants at the study site.
Study site and years of study: A natural, semiarid grassland at Concepción Buenavista, Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2012 and 2014.
Methods: At 21 sites we recorded species richness in randomly sampled 0.1 × 0.1 m quadrats, and measured chronic disturbance caused by different agents. We estimated the maximum richness at each site through maximum likelihood. At one site we searched for high richness quadrats.
Results: The study site shares the current world record of plant richness at the 0.1 × 0.1 m scale with 25 species. The estimated maximum diversity at each site decreased with land degradation, but had a maximum at intermediate-high levels of livestock activity.
Conclusions: Our results support the idea of a hard limit to species richness, and thus theories of plant coexistence that envisage such limit. Our study site shares attributes with other record-holding grasslands, such as severe resource limitations and chronic disturbance by ungulates, suggesting that these conditions promote high species richness. We hope that, by reporting this diversity record, we also help to change the notion that Mexican grasslands are secondary communities having a negligible biological value.

Published: March 2017

<p>Apesar de ser um tema bastante abordado no Marketing territorial, a criação de uma identidade territorial ainda é pouco utilizada pelas cidades, regiões e países. A abordagem do <em>branding</em> territorial possibilita um ganho na visibilidade, promoção e apelo turístico, abrindo assim, portas para o crescimento econômico das localidades, já que os territórios passam a ser objetos de recursos. O objetivo do artigo é identificar as potencialidades de uma das rotas turísticas do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, localizada no Território da Cidadania Noroeste Colonial. Foi realizado uma pesquisa <em>survey</em>, a qual abordou a Rota do Yucumã, situada no norte do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O objeto de estudo tem como característica uma abordagem quantitativa, por meio de levantamento de dados primários a partir de uma amostra não probabilística, aplicado em meio eletrônico e disponibilizado em uma rede social. Os resultados mostram que a grande maioria das pessoas respondentes não conhecem o principal ponto turístico da rota, mesmo a maioria indicando este tipo de local como muito atrativo. Além disso, foram questionados sobre a importância da criação de um selo para a rota, o qual poderá acompanhar produtos oriundos das localidades que fazem parte da rota, mostrando grande aceitação pelos respondentes. Conclui-se que, é relevante tornar a Rota do Yucumã mais atrativa, buscando um trabalho em rede entre os diferentes atores envolvidos, com o intuito de criação de um selo para a rota, fortalecendo a marca do território e contribuindo para o desenvolvimento local. </p>

Published: March 2017

AbstractSurface integrity is a broad term which includes various quality factors affecting the functional properties of parts. Residual stress is one of these factors. Machining generates residual stresses in the surface and subsurface layers of the structural elements. X-ray diffractometry is a non-destructive method applicable for the measurement of residual stresses in surface and subsurface layers of components. The article is focused on the non-destructive progressive method of triaxial measurement of residual stress after machining the surface of sample by high feed milling technology. Significance of triaxial measuring is the capability of measuring in different angles so it is possible to acquire stress tensor containing normal and shear stress components acting in the spot of measuring, using a Cartesian coordinate system.

Published: March 2017

AbstractApplication of miniature machining is currently rapidly increasing mainly in biomedical industry and machining of hard-to-machine materials. Machinability of materials with increased level of toughness depends on factors that are important in the final state of surface integrity. Because of this, it is necessary to achieve high precision (varying in microns) in miniature machining. If we want to guarantee machining high precision, it is necessary to analyse tool wear intensity in direct interaction with given machined materials. During long-term cutting process, different cutting wedge deformations occur, leading in most cases to a rapid wear and destruction of the cutting wedge. This article deal with experimental monitoring of tool wear intensity during miniature machining.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
Technology of rotational turning is a progressive machining technology with a defined tool geometry, which has the potential to replace conventional finishing technologies using the tools with undefined geometry. This article deals with the influence of the cutting parameters on the surface roughness after machining and comparing the roughness parameters with the computed roughness. Since this is a new machining technology with new kinematic structure with atypical geometry of the cutting tool, the article is focused on the measurement methodology of the certain roughness parameters on machined surface after rotary turning with nonlinear cutting edge. Executed experimental tests and their evaluation are verified with the method of roughness parameters determination and results show, how the real process correlate with implementation of empirical relations.

The karst of Padurea Craiului mountains and the system of Tinoasa-Ciur-Toplitza de Rosia (Romania)
Padurea Craiului mountains represent one of the most interesting karstic area of Romania. The existence of limestones affected by a lot of tectonics accidents had done this mountains to have distinct morphological aspects.
The relative developed hydrographie network, together with the geological structure and the favourable tectonic, brought about a lot of endokarstic and exokarstic phenomena too. This is very clear in Runcuri plateau which lodges the karstic systems Tinoasa-Ciur-Toplitza. The influence of the tectonic of this system is demonstrated by the underground observations about the fissures. The development of these systems, as well as the morphology of the caves, are influenced by the structure and texture of the different jurassic limestones.
Intérêt des recherches sur les karsts de Pologne
Authors: Maire Richard 
Published: March 2017

Les karsts de Pologne ont fait l'objet de nombreuses publications, en particulier dans la revue «Kras i Speleologia», éditée par l'Université de Silésie, à Katowice. Concentrés dans la partie méridionale du pays (le Centre et le Nord étant couverts par les accumulations morainiques des glaciations continentales), ils sont d'une grande variété, tant par l'âge et la nature des sédiments dans lesquels ils sont développés, que par leurs particularités d'évolution (importance des phénomènes paléo-karstiques). Sous la direction de M. Pulina, nous avons pu étudier les trois ensembles principaux (fig. 1) :
- Karsts et paléokarsts des formations carbonatées mésozoïques de Haute Silésie et du «Jura» polonais (Haut plateau de Cracovie-Wielun).
- Karsts de moyenne montagne dans les marbres cambriens, dans le massif ancien des Sudètes,
- Karsts alpins dans les formations carbonatées mésozoïques de la Haute-Tatra.
Par contre nous n'avons pas pu visiter, faute de temps, les karsts du gypse ni ceux des diapirs salifères.
Le développement personnel dans les organisations : entre modernité et post-modernité
Authors: Imhoff Camille , Silva François 
Published: March 2017

Nous assistons à des transformations majeures dans les entreprises, à l’évidence d’ordre technologique, mais aussi culturel. Il s’agit d’un changement de paradigme, en rupture avec les valeurs de la modernité. Une place centrale est désormais donnée, au moins dans les intentions et dans les discours, aux relations entre les personnes. Le « développement personnel » peut participer au passage des logiques de processus et de compétences individuelles à celles d’interaction et de régulation entre les personnes. Pour cela, il faut le distinguer d’une forme de développement strictement individuel qui ne correspond pas aux besoins des nouvelles formes d’organisation du travail.
