Corporate social responsibility of Colombian tobacco industry: Is it a strategy?
Authors: Niño-Muñoz Diana 
Published: April 2017

This research focuses on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by tobacco companies in order to answer whether these companies used CSR initiatives in Colombia as a strategy to enhance the corporate image and counter their bad reputation, as part of its strategy to prevent further advances in regulation. I used a qualitative data analysis to process the documents available on its official internet pages and major national media between 2008 and 2011. The most important conclusion is that the tobacco companies appear as a strategic partner in efforts for development of the country, with two possible objectives: to improve their image and gain influence in political processes. It is necessary to consider these strategies especially in light of the scope of the ban to sponsorship and promotion that the industry has.

Published: April 2017

Cerebellar tissue was examined from 22 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and from an age-matched group of 20 non-diseased subjects. Intraneuronal lipopigment in the bodies of 1344 Purkinje cells (PCs) (32 per brain) was identified by fluorescence microscopy. The mean total area (per PC) of the outlines of discrete regions of lipopigment in a PC perikaryon for the AD-related group of PCs was significantly greater than the mean for the comparison group (p < 0.001). Also, the two groups of PCs showed significant (< 0.05) differences in the mean number (per PC) of discrete regions of lipopigment in 11 size categories. The findings indicate a lysosomal abnormality in PCs in AD. The pattern of size distribution of lipopigment in PCs differed from that previously-reported for neurons of the frontal cortex. These differences may be associated with the absence of senile plaques and the presence of “diffuse” amyloid plaques in the cerebellum in AD

Published: April 2017

Background: the neuropeptides most consistently reported to be altered in Alzheimer’s disease are corticotropin-releasing factor and somatostatin (somatotropin-release inhibiting factor), although this has been previously assessed in a limited number of brain regions. Methods: in order to comprehensively characterize the involvement of these two anatomically distinct neuropeptide systems in Alzheimer’s disease and to determine if they are equally involved in the associated pathology, we measured the concentration of corticotropin-releasing factor and somatostatin in post-mortem brain tissue. Radioimmunoassay of 24 cortical and 13 sub-cortical brain regions from 16 cases of neuropathologically confirmed AD and 9 non-Alzheimer’s disease controls were performed and significant differences in group regional neuropeptide concentrations were sought using the Student Newman-Keuls test after ANOVA. Results: comparison of group mean regional neuropeptide concentrations revealed several brain regions where both peptides were decreased in Alzheimer’s disease and some regions where only one of the two peptides were decreased, while still other regions exhibited no changes in either peptide. These changes were principally found in frontal and temporal cortex, with few subcortical regions exhibiting pathologic changes in peptide concentration. Regional peptide content was correlated among peptides and with duration of dementia in several brain regions. Conclusions: these data support the hypothesis that the somatostatin- and corticotropin-releasing factor containing neurons are pathologically involved in AD and that the involved neurons are limited to specific areas of the brain.

Published: April 2017

BackgroundThere is a substantial variation in how different general practices manage knowledge implementation, including the degree to which activities are collectively and formally organised. Yet, it is unclear how these differences in implementation activities affect quality of care.AimTo investigate if there are associations between specific formalised knowledge implementation activities and quality of care in general practices, exemplified by the use of spirometry testing.Design & settingA nationwide cross-sectional study combining survey and register data in Denmark.MethodAn electronic questionnaire was distributed to GPs, and data on spirometry testing among first-time users of medication against obstructive lung diseases were obtained from national registers. Associations were investigated using multilevel mixed-effect logit models.ResultsGPs from 1114 practices (58%) responded, and 33 788 patients were linked to a responding practice. In partnership practices, the frequency of interdisciplinary and GP meetings affected the quality of care. Interdisciplinary and GP meetings held on a weekly basis were significantly associated with a higher level of quality of care and this was measured by the odds ratio (OR) of patients having spirometry. The development of practice protocols and standard recordings in the electronic medical record (EMR) for a range of disease areas compared with few or no areas at all also impacted the quality of care level provided. The effect of formalised implementation activities was not as evident in single-handed practices as in partnerships.ConclusionThis study provides valuable knowledge for GPs who aim to organise their practice in a way that supports implementation and quality improvement most effectively. Also, results may be useful for managers of implementation strategies and quality improvement initiatives when planning future activities.
Low-salinity Liquid-rich Or Vapor-like Fluids in a Porphyry-type Mo Deposit, South Korea

Published: April 2017

AbstractSmall porphyry-type molybdenum (Mo) mineralization, the Geumeum deposit in the Gyeongsang Basin, South Korea, is associated with the crystallization of a Cretaceous granodiorite, exsolution of magmatic hydrothermal fluids, and related hydrofracturing. Quartz and molybdenite occur with minor amounts of uneconomic chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena that precipitated from exsolved magmatic fluids and formed hydrothermal fissure-filling vein ores. Three distinct fluid inclusion assemblages responsible for the precipitation of molybdenite are present in the vein quartz. The earliest fluid is represented by low-salinity liquid-rich Type I fluid inclusions, which displayed homogenization temperatures ranging from 298 to 352 °C, and salinities from ∼0 to 9 wt.% NaCl equiv. The Type I inclusions were trapped in a liquid-stable, vapor-absent, one-phase field. The intermediate fluid is represented by CO2-bearing vapor-rich Type IV inclusions, generally showing no visible CO2 liquid phase. These CO2-bearing inclusions totally homogenized by vapor disappearance at 327∼340 °C or vapor bubble expansion at 327∼369 °C, exhibiting near-critical behaviors. The textural relationships and phase equilibria constraints indicate that the Type IV inclusions were derived from a single population, which formed as pressure and temperature fluctuated at near-critical conditions. The latest fluid can be represented by vapor-rich Type II fluid inclusions. No microthermometric data were obtained for these latest assemblages as no visible amounts of liquid phases are evident in small inclusions. Type III inclusions, which commonly refer to halite-bearing inclusions, are absent in the quartz veins studied. The oxygen and hydrogen isotopic fluid compositions of the vein quartz (δ18OSMOW = 4.3 to 6.9‰ and δDSMOW = −65 to −84‰ at 400 °C) is consistent with a magmatic origin with a possible slight influence from meteoric water. Molybdenum mineralization at Geumeum is a product of hypogene hydrothermal processes that were strongly fracture-controlled, highlighting the importance of low-salinity liquid-rich to vapor-like supercritical fluids for the mineralization. It seems likely that the magmas responsible for the formation of the deposit at Geumeum were emplaced at greater depths than those reported for economic porphyry copper deposits in the world. The deposit could thus have survived long periods of erosion, and represent the weakly mineralized “base” of porphyry systems in the Gyeongsang Basin, South Korea.

Background: This study aimed to identify the conditioning factors that influence the self-care practice of heart transplant patient after discharge and relate the conditioning factors to the Engagement Profile of Self Care.
Methods: Cross-sectional study, undertaken at a transplantation unit of one public hospital, in Fortaleza-Ceará. There was the participation of 63 heart transplant patients.
Results: The majority of the patients were men (88.9%), aged 40-59 years (68.3%), catholic (81.0%), married (77.8%), elementary school (71, 4%), retired or not working (82.5%); income below minimum wage (47, 6%); diagnosis to transplantation was chagasic cardiomyopathy (28.6%), post-transplant time between one and three years (39.7%). The determinant for self-care had significant difference (p<0.05) was the time of transplantation, because patients who have higher scores on Engagement Profile Self-Care had performed transplantation between 3 and 5 years.
Conclusion: The professional team of heart transplant should consider the conditioning factors of patients transplanted cardiac in establishing strategies for promoting self-care.

A determinação de grandezas com acuracidade é tema recorrente nos dias atuais, principalmente no campo da metrologia. Sendo assim, este trabalho visa apresenta uma proposta para descrever o movimento de veículos com uso de técnicas geodésicas. A verificação do movimento do veículo foi realizada por meio do método de posicionamento relativo cinemático sobre uma via de geometria conhecida, adaptada para a execução dos ensaios. Foi desenvolvido ainda, protótipo de programa de processamento capaz de apresentar as características gerais da trajetória e os valores de velocidade e aceleração desenvolvidos pelo veículo nos ensaios realizados. Estes testes tinham três objetivos específicos: a verificação de velocidades constantes; a determinação de alterações na velocidade e; a verificação de frenagem. Os resultados alcançados foram positivos indicando a viabilidade da metodologia proposta.

Neste estudo buscou-se identificar e avaliar a qualidade dos acessos específicos para mobilidade e acessibilidade de cadeirantes nos setores de atendimento à saúde para o público interno e externo da UFPE utilizando imagens de alta resolução disponíveis no Google Earth Pro comparando com a legislação específica. Para identificação de rampas e calçadas rebaixadas, foram georreferenciadas com GPS de navegação e complementada com levantamento fotográfico. Foram realizadas aferições com trena para análise qualitativa de acordo com a NBR 9050/2004. A pesquisa propõe uma classificação para avaliar a condição física da superfície dos acessos indicando se os parâmetros estão em conformidade com a Norma. Pela distribuição espacial usando imagens de sensoriamento remoto associados com os dados de campo, pode-se perceber que há número considerável de acessos destinados a mobilidade de pessoas com deficiência motora na UFPE mas que necessitam de melhorias das condições físicas das calçadas, rampas, calçadas rebaixadas e sinalização indicativa uma vez que a área é utilizada também para tratamento de pessoas com deficiência e mobilidade reduzida e necessitam de acesso seguro e autônomo aos serviços ofertados pela Universidade.
Clinique des liens familiaux dans une famille lesboparentale
Authors: Ducousso-Lacaze Alain , Grihom Marie-José 
Published: April 2017

Le présent article s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une recherche sur les familles homoparentales et le développement des enfants. Le volet qualitatif clinique se centre sur l’approche de l’élaboration des liens familiaux du point de vue des parents comme des enfants. Les données cliniques présentées ici sont recueillies auprès des parents, un couple de femmes, grâce à un entretien ainsi qu’à la libre réalisation d’un arbre généalogique. Aux enfants, ici une enfant de 11 ans, sont proposés un dessin de famille, cinq planches du CAT, un entretien, un génogramme. Les auteurs analysent les résultats en référence aux travaux psychanalytiques sur la famille et notamment aux deux polarités des liens : la différenciation et l’indifférenciation. Dans l’étude clinique retenue sont à l’œuvre des logiques d’indifférenciation en rapport avec des éléments de transmission transgénérationnelle dont a hérité le couple parental, mais aussi des éléments de différenciation reposant sur la structuration œdipienne, le repérage dans la généalogie et la référence à des « tiers symboligènes ». Les données recueillies auprès de l’enfant mettent en évidence comment elle se fait héritière de ces logiques d’indifférenciation tout en trouvant des voies de subjectivation.
Du maternel au travail maternel. L’originaire, une question politique ?
Authors: Debout Frédérique 
Published: April 2017

Dans ce texte, l’auteure propose d’interroger le maternel à partir des apports de la clinique du travail. Elle définit ainsi le « travail maternel » comme la mobilisation d’habiletés sensibles et techniques développées dans la contrainte de devoir s’occuper d’un enfant et avec pour objectif d’en développer la vie subjective. Cette proposition théorique définissant le maternel comme un travail permet de discuter la naturalisation de la figure maternelle en psychanalyse, mais aussi de repenser les liens familiaux sous l’angle de la coopération facilitée, permise ou empêchée et de regarder autrement ce que l’on appelle aujourd’hui les attaques du lien social en replaçant la famille au centre du processus de genèse de ce dernier.
Les « auditrices » ou les femmes guidant la narration d'autrui dans les contes français à la mode orientale du XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Ardenghi Fulvia 
Published: April 2017

Shéhérazade est celle qui sauve le monde en le réinventant, grâce à la narration. Mais le monde n'étant pas un, comme Fontenelle nous l'enseigne, les philosophes veulent faire face à une pluralité des mondes. Le dialogue avec l'Autre devient alors la clé de voûte de maints textes, où le lecteur-auditeur fait irruption, question de capturer l'intérêt du public réel. Or, dans les contes français à la mode orientale il arrive parfois que le personnage prenant directement la parole à l'intérieur du texte soit une deuxième femme du récit-cadre. Souvent, il ne s'agit même pas de la destinataire du conte. Nous nous proposons d’étudier les implications expressives et fonctionnelles de cette rencontre entre la femme orientale et le rôle du lecteur par l’analyse de ses interventions métadiégétiques. Afin de montrer comment la métamorphose du rôle de la seconde femme permet aux contes orientaux de sortir de la vogue de la fruste répétition du modèle et de devenir véritables textes littéraires en mesure d’investiguer philosophiquement le monde. Nous analyserons dans ce but les cinq contes suivants : Fleur d’Epine et Les quatre Facardins d’Antoine Hamilton, y compris la seconde partie des Quatre Facardins rédigée par M.-J. Lewis ; Les Mille et une fadaises de Cazotte ; Le Sopha de Crébillon fils et l’Oiseau blanc, conte bleu de Diderot.
L’Historia sancti Anthonij (ou Mystère de saint Antoine de Vienne) et ses sources
Authors: Costantini Dominique 
Published: April 2017

Filologia e (è) letteratura comparata (la philologie et/est littérature comparée), c’est ainsi que Maria Luisa Meneghetti intitulait son intervention à un débat sur les éditeurs des produits de la première de ces deux disciplines organisé à Rome, il y a quelques années (« Critica del testo », XV 3, 2012). C’est, sinon cette identité, ce rapprochement des deux disciplines que voudrait illustrer cette contribution, où l’Historia sancti Anthonij, appelée aussi Mystère de saint Antoine de Vienne, texte provençal des premières années du xvie siècle, sera confrontée à ses sources, principalement hagiographiques et élaborées au cours d’une dizaine de siècles, et à d’autres textes de la même époque et pour le théâtre. La confrontation éclairera non seulement la construction du texte mais aussi les fins recherchées par les auteurs de ce spectacle édifiant.
Le témoin et son double. La traduction comme ressource poétique chez David Boder, Claude Lanzmann et Jean Hatzfeld
Authors: Kuhn-Kennedy Fleur 
Published: April 2017

À partir d’œuvres issues de sources orales qui font une grande place aux langues et aux langages du témoin (les interviews menées par David Boder en 1946, Shoah de Claude Lanzmann, les œuvres rwandaises de Jean Hatzfeld), l’auteur interroge la manière dont la traduction, dans son sens restreint mais aussi en tant que principe plus étendu de translation d’un univers symbolique à un autre, peut opérer comme instrument narratif et stylistique. La mise en scène de la traduction y apparaît comme un procédé d’étrangéisation du récit qui passe à la fois par les figures de traducteurs et d’interprète et par le travail d’« autotraduction » auquel se trouve invariablement livré le survivant dans son effort pour rendre son expérience audible.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT
Background: Medication discontinuation remains a big hurdle for retaining persons with schizophrenia under the treatment AMBIT. It is imperative to understand reasons for the same to effectively tackle it. Methods: The study was carried out in Turuvekere, a rural South Indian taluk (an administrative block). Qualitative interviews were conducted with consenting consecutive nineteen patients (along with their family members) who had discontinued medications. All interviews were transcribed. Enlisted reasons were then color coded to synthesize different factors. From the 16th patient onward, no new reason emerged. Three more interviews were done to ensure that there was no additional reason. Results: The following factors (average 4.26 factors per patient) led to medication discontinuation: (1) lack of support/supervision from family/well-wishers (n = 14/19 [73.68%]); (2) lack of insight and cooperation from the patient (n = 11; [57.89%]); (3) lack of awareness about the illness (8 [42.10%]); (4) adverse effects of medications (n = 8; [42.10%]); (5) financial factors (n = 8; [42.10%]); (6) distance/transport (n = 8; [42.10%]); (7) lack of knowledge about treatment process (n = 7; [36.84%]); (8) perceived lack of beneficial effects of treatment (n = 5; [26.32%]); (9) treatment center-related issues (n = 4; [21.05%]); and others. Conclusions: Medication discontinuation is driven by a diverse set of interrelated factors among community-living persons with schizophrenia. Professionals need to be aware of this complexity to effectively manage the problem.

Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Neurosurgery is a branch having a tough learning curve. Residents generally get very less hands-on exposure for advanced procedures like neuroendoscopy. With the limited number of cadavers available and ethical issues associated with animal models, practice models, and simulators are becoming the able alternative. Most of these simulators are very costly. We tried to build indigenous inexpensive practice models that can help in developing most of the skills of neuroendoscopy. Materials and Methods: Models were built for learning hand-eye coordination, dexterity, instrument manipulation, cutting, fine dissection, keyhole concept, drilling, and simulation of laminectomy and ligamentum flavum resection. These were shown in the neuroendoscopic fellowship program conducted in authors’ institute, and trainees’ responses were recorded. Results: Both novice and experienced neuroendoscopic surgeons validated the models. There was no significant difference between their responses (P = 0.791). Conclusion: Indigenous innovative models can be used to learn and teach neuroendoscopic skills. The presented models were reliable, valid, eco-friendly, highly cost-effective, portable, easily made and can be kept in one’s chamber for practicing.
