A educação na Bahia: percurso histórico da educação na Região Cacaueira
Authors: Assis Raimunda Alves Moreira de 
Published: January 2017

O texto aborda o debate ocorrido em uma Mesa Redonda sobre a “História da Educação na Bahia, promovido pelo Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas “História, Sociedade e Educação no Brasil” (HISTEDBR), Secção-BA, na X Jornada Nacional, intitulada “História da Educação: intelectuais, memória e política”, ocorrido na Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia – UESB, Campus de Vitória da Conquista, entre os dias 26 e 29 de julho de 2011. O estudo apresenta apontamentos sobre variados aspectos que caracterizaram a organização e funcionamento do ensino na região. O caminho investigativo para a reflexão é respaldado numa análise de bases sócio-histórica e, como metodologia recorreu a pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental de fontes primárias, por meio de leituras de jornais e atas do Conselho Municipal no período de 1906 a 1945, sob a guarda do Arquivo Publico Municipal de Itabuna. A presente investigação demonstrou que a educação da região, no período em estudo, destinava-se a pequena parcela da população, os filhos dos coronéis, que detinha alto poder aquisitivo. E as crianças das classes populares ficavam sem estudar porque dependiam de algumas Instituições da sociedade civil como Rotary Clube, Maçonaria que passaram a construir escolas, assumindo o papel do Estado.
História e historiografia da educação – a Bahia e suas conexões com os estudos regionais e nacionais
Authors: Menezes Jaci Maria Ferraz de 
Published: January 2017

Este texto busca discutir o tema História e historiografia da Educação no Brasil e na Bahia. Tomamos como questão principal a seguinte: Teriam os estudos sobre História da Educação começado, no Brasil, com a implantação da pós-graduação? Ficariam de fora de nosso esforço de análise a produção de pesquisadores e organismos de pesquisa públicos e privados, tais como o INEP, o Centro Brasileira de Pesquisas Educacionais, com sua rede de Centros Regionais que a ele eram ligados, o IPEA, a Fundação para o Desenvolvimento da Ciência na Bahia (FDCBa), a Fundação CPE e o Instituto Anísio Teixeira, entre tantos outros? Fizemos anteriormente esta reflexão sobre História e Historiografia da Educação em momentos anteriores; tanto no Encontro de Pesquisa em Educação das regiões Norte Nordeste de 2007 em Salvador como no III Encontro Norte Nordeste de História da Educação, realizado em 2010 em Salvador. Nestes dois momentos, nos debruçamos sobre a relação entre questões de pesquisa e metodologias utilizadas para enfrentá-las; e no segundo, a reflexão sobre o nosso fazer, no Grupo Memória e na REDEMEMO, para enfrentar a questão do trato de uma documentação de referência sobre Educação na Bahia. Concluímos que nosso entendimento de que a pesquisa sobre História da Educação na Bahia – e no Brasil – não começa nem se esgota com as Universidades e seus Programas de pós-Graduação. Centros diversos de pesquisa e pesquisadores diversos produziram e ajudaram a construir este conhecimento.
Energy Consumption with Fountain Codes and Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks: Survey & Analysis‎
Authors: Belabed Fatma , Bouallegue Ridha 
Published: January 2017

<div><p><em>Energy is the most important and crucial issue in the wireless sensor networks since the entire sensor nodes are battery powered devices. As a result, energy efficiency and prolonging network lifetime are a challenge. In order to increase the lifetime of the battery-based sensing nodes, it is essential to minimize the consumed energy in the sensing process</em>. <em>With this objective, specific erasure codes called fountain codes are introduced. Fountain codes' performances can be further improved if they are merged with the strategy of grouping sensor nodes into clusters. In order to reach the energy minimization and network lifetime prolonging, the first step, is to completely know the sources of energy consumption. In this paper, sources of energy consumption with various techniques used have been studied and investigated. Furthermore, a survey has been provided for the energy consumption model by using these two techniques. </em></p></div>

Published: January 2017

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To determine the pattern of antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from ICU’s of tertiary care hospital in Karachi.</p><p><strong>Study Design: </strong>A case control study.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Three hundred and fifteen clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii collected from different ICUs were evaluated during 1 year period. The isolates were identified by morphology, growth and biochemical characteristics, susceptibility to a panel of anti-microbial agents in disc diffusion assay and molecular characterization by PCR using glt A and gyr B genes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>94% of Acinetobacter spp were detected as multi drug resistant (MDR) and sensitive to Polymixin B only. About 6% Acinetobacter spp were also MDR but sensitive to Polymixin B, Meropenem and Salbactum + Cefoperazone. All tested isolates exhibited differing resistance representation, as establish by medium incorporation – replica method, against different tested antibiotics, as follows: Amoxicillin – Cal-vulanic acid, Tazobactam, Ceftriaxone, Ceftazidime, Meropenem, Imipenem, Gentamicin, Amikacin, Chlo-ramphenicol, Cotrimoxazole, Tobramycin, Salbactam, Cefoperazone, Gentamicin and Amikacin. All the isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii were PCR positive for glt A and gyr B.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Acinetobacter baumannii is the most frequently isolated and alarming pathogen in the health care system specifically for the patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Its survival in hospital environment is because of tolerance the antibiotics and antiseptic pressures. Multi drug resistance made this pathogen the lethal pathogen of this century to infect debilitated patients. There is a strict need to monitor the surveillance of global clones at institutional and or intra-institutional level for accurate treatment, precise prevention and batter control.</p>
Comparison of Treatment with Titanium Elastic Nail Versus AO – Dynamic Compression Plate for Femoral Shaft Fractures in Children
Authors: Ahmed Ejaz , Khalid Omer , Haq Usman -ul- , Siddiq Abu Baker 
Published: January 2017

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p><strong>Background: </strong>Femur fractures are among the commonest pediatric injuries. Until recent past, traction and hip spica were the standard treatment for all femoral shaft fractures which required long duration of hospitalization. The management of femoral shaft fractures in children above the age of six years has evolved more towards operative approaches in the last two decades to minimize the post plaster complications i.e. decrease in incidence of malunion, short hospital stay, better nursing care and early ambulation. Recently, a variety of therapeutic alternatives such as intramedullary nailing and dynamic compression plating have become available to decrease impairment, increase convenience and decrease cost of care.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To compare the results of fracture shaft of femur in children (6 to 12 years of age) treated with Titanium Elastic Nail vs. AO – Dynamic Compression Plate fixation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This prospective, comparative and interventional study was carried out in the department of orthopedic surgery, PGMI Lahore General Hospital, Lahore. A total of 64 patients were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups of 32 patients each. In Group-A patients were treated with Titanium Elastic Nail and in Group – B patients were treated with AO – Dynamic Compression Plate fixation. Sample selection was done by using a pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Variables of interest were duration of operation, Infection, Limb Length discrepancy, Angulation, Time of union and implant failure. Patients were followed up from 2nd week till 24th week respectively. SPSS was used for data entry and analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Age range of patients was 6 – 12 years. Male patients were 51 and 13 patients were female. Eleven patients had Proximal 1/3, 45 mid shaft fracture and 8 distal 1/3 fracture. Mean operative time for DCP was 53.28 minutes and for elastic intramedullary nailing was 29.91 minutes. None of the patients in both treatment groups had limb length discrepancy. Infection and implant failure rate were the same in both treatment groups. Union was rapid till 8th week in Group-A patients after 8th week both treatment groups had equal union rate.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Union was achieved in all cases in both groups. Angulation, Infection and implant failure was not seen in any of the patients in both treatment gro-ups. An earlier union of bone was earlier in Group-A (Elastic Intramedullay Nail) patients as compared to Group-B (DCP).</p><strong>Key Words: </strong>AO – DCP, Titanium Elastic Nail, Pediatric Mid Shaft Femur, Infection, Union.

Published: January 2017

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p><strong>Background: </strong>Ever since inception, allopathic medicine has increasingly been practiced all over the world including Pakistan. However, a significant proportion of practitioners are unqualified quacks. In order to curb quackery and assure the provision of quality healthcare by clinics and other healthcare establishments the Punjab Government established Punjab Healthcare Commission. How far this body has achieved its objectives?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A qualitative study was conducted for responding to the research question. Participants were drawn purposefully representing stakeholders, including general practitioners of allopathic medicine, association of general practitioners, academy of family physicians, and Punjab Healthcare Commission. Inter-views held were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, followed by coding and generation of themes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The study yielded themes: protection of the rights of patients and practitioners; vague registration process; stakeholders’ (mis) understanding that PHC was using registration and licensing as a mean for revenue generation; regulating general practitioners of allopathic medicine was promoting quackery; and that under the circumstances achieving quality in health-care was a farfetched idea.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>It is early to gauge the impact of PHC, which has a gigantic agenda. Yet, while there are signs it is achieving objectives, there is a need for PHC to improve its communication strategy and broaden stakeholders’ base. Furthermore, while defining regulatory strategies, socioeconomic inequalities should be factored in. Since, without this being considered, no systemic level reform will be sustainable, yielding optimum results and paying dividends for a longer timeframe.</p><p><strong>Key Words: </strong>General Practitioners, Regulation, Litigation, Quality of Care.
