Comparison of Two Concentrations of Triamcinolone Injection in the Prevention of Supratip Edema after External Rhinoplasty: A Randomized Trial
Authors: Saedi Babak , Amali Amin , Arabpor Mina 
Published: November 2017

Background A comparison of the two methods of corticosteroid (triamcinolone) use in reducing supratip edema (pollybeak deformity) after rhinoplasty. Methods Ninety patients who were candidates for rhinoplasty were randomly divided into three groups. Group A received no treatment, group B received 8 mg/mL of triamcinolone, and group C received 16 mg/mL of triamcinolone. Their effects on dorsal edema were evaluated by using the patients' and surgeons' visual analog scale scores. Also, dorsal edema was measured by using photo editing software. Results There was no significant difference in the patients' characteristics in the study groups. The surgeons' visual analog scale scores were significantly better in those patients who received triamcinolone injection than in the control group (p = 0.02). However, none of the other assessment methods showed significant differences among the study groups. There was no significant difference between the two evaluated concentrations. Conclusion Triamcinolone injection had positive temporary effects on reducing supratip edema without any important complications.

Background A novel, bioabsorbable, fibrinogen-based implant has been developed as a mucosal dressing after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). This implant can be formulated with fluticasone propionate (TP) for local elution of corticosteroid to reduce postoperative inflammation and promote mucosal healing. Objective This study investigated the biocompatibility and pharmacokinetics of the implant in a rabbit model. Methods Implants with and without TP were placed on both intact and demucosalized maxillary sinuses of 33 New Zealand White rabbits. Sinuses with either intact or denuded bone without implants acted as controls. Histopathologic assessments were carried out at 5, 15, and 28 days. Concentrations of TP in the maxillary sinus mucosa, nasal cavity mucosa, and plasma were measured for up to 44 days. Results Implants placed on intact mucosa or denuded bone were grossly integrated within 15 days. Minimal foreign body reaction was seen with negligible differences for inflammation, fibrosis, or bone remodeling among controls, sinuses with the implant, or sinuses with the implant plus TP, at all time points. All samples also showed complete or near-complete percentage reepithelialization at 28 days, although the denuded bone controls demonstrated greater percentage reepithelialization at 5 days compared with denuded bone with the implant or implant plus TP (p <0.0001). The maxillary sinus mucosa demonstrated levels of TP of >140 ng/g up to 44 days. Plasma concentrations of TP were generally very low and were undetectable after day 7. Conclusions The implant and the implant plus TP seemed to be biocompatible in rabbits. The implant plus TP effectively eluted steroid locally over at least 44 days, with negligible plasma concentrations. Further studies are warranted regarding potential therapeutic applications in patients undergoing ESS for chronic rhinosinusitis.

Background Currently vitamin D3 (VD3) or cholecalciferol is considered an immunomodulator that may be implicated in nasal polyposis (NP) pathophysiology. Objectives This study aimed to investigate if deficiency of VD3 is associated with the presence of NP in patients with cystic fibrosis (CT) and patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Methods In total, 152 adult participants were included in five phenotypic groups: CT with NP (CTwNP) (n = 27), CT without NP (CTsNP) (n = 31), CRS with NP (CRSwNP) (n = 32), CRS without NP (CRSsNP) (n = 30), and controls (n = 32). The serum levels of 25(OH)-VD3 <20 ng/mL are considered as a deficiency, 21–29 ng/mL as insufficiency, and >30 ng/mL as sufficiency. Endoscopic and imaging staging of the mucosal disease performed with the Lund-Kennedy (LK) and Lund-Mackay (LM) scoring systems, respectively. The genotype of the patients with CT and the nasal microbial colonization of the patients with CT and patients with CRS were also recorded. Results The patients with CTwNP had the lowest percentage of sufficiency in VD3 and the highest percentage in insufficiency among all the groups. The LM imaging scores were inversely correlated with the VD3 levels in both arms of the study (CT and CRS). Moreover, the LK endoscopic scores had a similar correlation in the CT groups; however, this was not the case with the CRS groups. The genotype of the patients with CT was not correlated with the VD3 serum levels. The patients with positive microbial colonization (mainly Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus aureus) had significantly lower VD3 serum levels in both the CT and CRS process. Conclusion VD3 deficiency seemed to be associated with the presence of nasal polyps in the patients with CRS and in the patients with CT in a similar manner. The lower the level of serum VD3, the more severe the mucosal disease was found in the imaging studies and the more frequent microbial colonization of the patients with CT and the patients with CRS.
O NASCIMENTO DA PINTURA MODERNA
Authors: Dantas Marta 
Published: November 2017

A História da Arte não é a história das aplicações progressivas de princípios estéticos. pelo contrário é o relato da quebra de valores estéticos e socioculturais. O nascimento da Arte moderna representa uma ruptura radical de valores estéticos que tiveram origem no Renascimento, o que nos permite considerar os acontecimentos ligados ao mundo das artes, na segunda metade do século XÍX, como uma "revolução estética". Revolução esta que pôs fim ao imaginário coletivo, aos modelos de beleza, a concepção de mundo hierarquizado e fez emergir uma percepção essencialmente individual.

O Acidente Vascular Cerebral é a segunda principal causa de óbitos no mundo e promove alterações de sensibilidade como, por exemplo, a dor que é um sintoma subjetivo de uma alteração sensorial ou emocional que leva a uma sensação desagradável, podendo envolver aspectos psicossociais e até mesmo culturais. O tratamento da dor pode ocorrer através de fármacos, por procedimentos invasivos, por métodos físicos e psicoterapia. O objetivo foi pesquisar as abordagens fisioterapêuticas, clínicas, educativas e informativas no alívio da dor de pacientes após acidente vascular cerebral. A coleta de dados foi realizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE, na PubMed, na Lilacs, na Bireme, na Science Direct e na Science Electronic Library Online, considerando o período entre janeiro de 2006 a março de 2016. Para estratégia de busca foi utilizada as seguintes palavras-chave: “stroke” AND “pain” AND “physical therapy” e “acidente vascular encefálico” AND “dor” AND “fisioterapia”. Compuseram essa revisão 9 artigos que estavam relacionados com a fisioterapia e suas abordagens clínicas na dor de pacientes após acidente vascular cerebral. As abordagens fisioterápicas, clínicas, educativas e informativas, promoveram um alívio da dor e diminuição das sequelas de pacientes após o acidente vascular cerebral e consequentemente melhora da qualidade de vida.

Published: November 2017

O objetivo deste artigo foi o identificar o potencial do município de Araraquara para a promoção de vagas de estágio para o curso de Administração Pública da UNESP. Esta identificação foi guiada por quatro dimensões analíticas, que se entrelaçam e interferem diretamente na oferta de vagas para o estágio e na dinâmica de sua execução. Nota-se que esta avaliação foi embasada em pesquisas com dados secundários disponíveis na Fundação SEADE, no Relatório Anual de Informações Sociais, no IBGE, no portal do curso de Administração Pública da Universidade Estadual Paulista e no portal da prefeitura municipal de Araraquara. Constatou-se que o município apresenta elevado potencial para geração de vagas de estágio para o curso de Administração Pública no município. Contudo, apresenta uma competitividade, em termos de potencial para gerar vagas, maior que os outros municípios que ofertam cursos no “Campo de Públicas”. Nota-se que há, proporcionalmente, um número menor de organizações ativas, logo os estudantes concorrem em um número maior por uma possível vaga.

Virtualización de servidores Linux usando Xen
Authors: Dávila Sguerra Manuel 
Published: November 2017

El crecimiento de los sistemas de información en las empresas obliga a la utilización de servidores para su operación. Se ha observado que por motivos de seguridad, privacidad y rendimiento se tiende a poner soluciones informáticas en servidores separados. Con el tiempo las empresas terminan con centros de cómputo que albergan muchos servidores cada uno, con necesidades propias de administración pero que en general se utilizan en bajos porcentajes de su rendimiento máximo.Esta situación, denominada “Server sprawl”, que significa algo así como “servidores desperdigados” aumenta los costos de administración y crea procesos incontrolables de crecimiento en la infraestructura de servidores. Este artículo trata el tema de una de las tecnologías de virtualización de servidores, llamada Xen, que permite instalar en un servidor varios sistemas operacionales, logrando mejorar el factor de uso de los recursos computacionales y bajar los costos, tanto en administración como en licenciamiento de software.

ITALO-AUSTRALIAN TRANSNATIONAL HOUSES: BUILT FORMS ENHANCING SOCIAL CAPITAL
Authors: Furlan Raffaello , Faggion Laura 
Published: November 2017

The literature reveals that culture, as a way of life, is a factor determining the house’s spatial form, which, in turn, can contribute to the construction and/or enhancement of social capital. Scholars also stress that in the past the study of the relationship between houses’ spatial form and social capital has focused on physical spatial environments at macro scale, neglecting the investigation of micro-scale housing. Namely, regardless of the interest to this relationship, direct assessment of the extent to which the spatial form of transnational houses contributes to the formation and enhancement of social capital in a host built environment is still rare in the field. The specific objective of this paper is to explore how the spatial form of Italian transnational houses in Australia contributed to the formation of social capital. It is argued that the spatial form of houses built by Italian migrants in post WWII Brisbane was conceptualized as means of re-establishing and enhancing social activities and/or interactions, and therefore contributed to the formation and enhancement of social capital. In order to provide an answer to the main question, the system of social activities performed within the domestic setting was investigated. Data obtained from visual material and interviews with participants was analyzed in order to reveal how the spatial form of Italian transnational houses enhanced social capital.
RESEARCH UTILIZATION IN THE DESIGN DECISION MAKING PROCESS
Authors: Huber Amy 
Published: November 2017

This article summarizes findings from a national survey of interior design practitioners in the United States (N=366). The study explored interior design practitioners' current preferences for conducting project research including: activities conducted and sources used, attraction to and recall from sources, and ideas for communicating research findings. Responses suggest that interior designers do value research, yet have little time to utilize research. While cross-tabulation analyses indicate no major differences in research activities between the study’s demographic groups, collectively, only 12% of the sample indicated they utilized academic journals and, at times, even incorrectly identified those sources. Open-ended responses allowed designers to offer ideas for communicating research and four key themes emerged, including: topic selection and relevancy, ideas for new dissemination methods, ideas for presentation style, and perceptions of the written language used. It is hoped that this study’s findings may help design researchers better communicate their own findings to design practitioners.

Authors: Salama Ashraf M. , Remali Adel M. , MacLean Laura 
Published: November 2017

An urban space is a vital stage for social interaction and city life. Measuring the city life is always related to social, economic and cultural conditions of an urban context. Social gathering increases the quality of urban space and improves economic vitality. This paper aims to explore how successful urban spaces could impact the growth and performance of an urban context, not only as a physical urban reality, but also as a generator of social life. Utilising St. Enoch Square as a case study, a multi-layered methodological approach constituted in a series of tools was implemented, including behavioural mapping, visual preference survey, walking tour assessment, contemplating settings, and observing physical traces and by-product of use in order to interpret various forms of experiences that take place. Findings reveal various attributes of St. Enoch Square while highlighting different qualities that promote and support the overall vibrancy of the city life. Conclusions are drawn to emphasise that the physical and spatial characteristics of an urban space are critical factors for maintaining social interaction while creating essential opportunities that support the human experience in the public realm.
SPACE AND MEANING CHANGE IN URBANIZATION AND MODERNIZATION PROCESS: An Urban Park in the First Capital of the Ottoman Empire
Authors: ATANUR Gul 
Published: November 2017

The foundations of Westernization Movement in Turkey were laid in late Ottoman Empire. Following the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the proclamation of the republic, urban space became highly important and modernist architects from the west planned a large number of Turkish cities. The concept of urban park was introduced and parks became significant components of modern life in this period. Bursa, too, was influenced by this movement; it was planned by western planners and an urban park was built. However, the meaning of urban parks within the ideal of modern life in Turkey and in Bursa has changed over time. This study is based on urban development periods in Turkey and it presents the change Bursa Kültürpark in Bursa, the early modern city of Turkey, underwent during the process from modernization to globalization.

No evidence for a ‘warning effect’ of blue light in roe deer

Published: November 2017

Physiological investigations of cervid eyes have revealed two different types of cones indicating high visual sensitivity in the ‘blue’ and ‘green’ spectral range (400–450 nm and 510–540 nm). Although detailed knowledge about light perception in large mammals is still missing, light reflecting devices such as wildlife warning reflectors are frequently used in animalvehicle collision mitigation. Light of wavelengths in the range of 440–490 nm (‘blue’ light) has recently been advocated to evoke a warning effect in cervids due to its rare occurrence in the natural environment. We conducted a behavioural study with captive roe deer Capreolus capreolus to investigate whether roe deer exhibit a specific behavioural response to ‘blue’ light (wavelengths 440–490 nm). Compartmented feeders were pseudo‐randomly illuminated with either ‘blue’ (colour: blue, 440–490 nm) or ‘warm‐white’ light (colour: yellow‐orange, 575–675 nm), or left unilluminated to assess changes in feeding time and feeder‐compartment choice in dependence of illumination. Although feeding times were found to be generally shorter under illumination there was no difference between illumination types. Moreover, roe deer favoured the illuminated feeder compartment over non‐illuminated ones. Our results highlight that roe deer differentiate between light and no light conditions while ‘blue’ light (440–490 nm) did not exert a ‘warning effect’ in roe deer.
