Published: December 2017

RESUMO
Objetivo
Análise, através de amostragem, dos aspectos envolvidos na condução dos pacientes laparostomizados.

Materiales y Métodos
Estudo prospectivo tipo série de casos. Há mais de 15 anos o serviço tem aprimorado seu protocolo em relação à laparostomia. De março/2014 a março/2016, 60 pacientes foram conduzidos em laparostomia no serviço de cirurgia geral e do trauma do Hospital Pronto Socorro João XXIII (HPSJXXIII) da Fundação Hospitalar do Estado de Minas Gerais (FHEMIG), objeto desse estudo.

Resultados
A maioria dos pacientes era jovem, média de idade de 33 anos e do sexo masculino 50 (83%). O mecanismo de trauma mais frequente foi o penetrante 32 (53%). O ISS maior que 16, observado em 80% dos casos, define alto percentual de pacientes graves. A instabilidade hemodinâmica foi detectada em 39 (65%) pacientes e 24 (40%) foram encaminhados ao centro cirúrgico em caráter de emergência. O controle de danos foi realizado em 53 (88%) das laparostomias. Ao final da primeira intervenção, a Bolsa de Bogotá foi o fechamento temporário do abdome realizado em 100% dos casos dos laparostomizados. Curativo com pressão negativa foi realizado em 13 (22%) dos pacientes. Algum tipo de complicação abdominal ocorreu em 36 (60%) dos casos. A fístula intestinal foi a complicação mais grave, observada em 8 (13%) pacientes. O óbito foi o desfecho final em 27 (45%) pacientes do estudo.

Conclusão
Nos últimos anos, a análise dos laparostomizados tem aguçado preocupação na condução desses pacientes no serviço. A morbimortalidade é significativa e cada vez mais há evidências de que os vieses no controle de danos acabam influenciando decisivamente nos resultados. A complacência na indicação dos procedimentos de controle de danos deve ser reavaliada nos serviços de trauma.

Relevância clínica
O crescimento do “damage control” aumentou muito a indicação de laparostomias. O abdome aberto tem benefícios bem estabelecidos no manejo de pacientes instáveis, porém, associa-se a grandes complicações e a um alto índice de morbimortalidade. É necessário maiores discussões acerca do tema e desenvolvimento de protocolos específicos, cada vez mais concisos, levando-se em conta os recursos humanos e materiais de cada instituição.

Immunity and Impunity: Corruption in the State-Pharma Nexus
Authors: Rawlinson Paddy 
Published: December 2017

Critical criminology repeatedly has drawn attention to the state-corporate nexus as a site of corruption and other forms of criminality, a scenario exacerbated by the intensification of neoliberalism in areas such as health. The state-pharmaceutical relationship, which increasingly influences health policy, is no exception. That is especially so when pharmaceutical products such as vaccines, a burgeoning sector of the industry, are mandated in direct violation of the principle of informed consent. Such policies have provoked suspicion and dissent as critics question the integrity of the state-pharma alliance and its impact on vaccine safety. However, rather than encouraging open debate, draconian modes of governance have been implemented to repress and silence any form of criticism, thereby protecting the activities of the state and pharmaceutical industry from independent scrutiny. The article examines this relationship in the context of recent legislation in Australia to intensify its mandatory regime around vaccines. It argues that attempts to undermine freedom of speech, and to systematically excoriate those who criticise or dissent from mandatory vaccine programs, function as a corrupting process and, by extension, serve to provoke the notion that corruption does indeed exist within the state-pharma alliance.
Ways of Prediction, Ways of Rhetoric
Authors: Salazar Philippe-Joseph 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT
Politics counts on secrets and prediction: it depends on a visio imaginativa whereby doxa unravels itself into beliefs and holds fast onto the illusion of secrets that in reality do not exist, and fabricates the objects of its parlêtre by casting illusions of Time in order to formulate predictions and “ways forward.” The sorry state of democracy partly arises from the illusion that free citizens are made to believe in politics as a discourse of predictions and secrets.
Heidegger's 1924 Lecture Course on Aristotle'sRhetoric: Key Research Implications
Authors: Gross Daniel M. 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACTOnly recently have we begun to realize how Martin Heidegger's 1924 lecture course on Aristotle's Rhetoric permanently altered the relationship between rhetoric and philosophy. This article explains how it did so, outlining what exactly Heidegger reclaimed in Aristotle's Rhetoric just as he was radically reformulating the history of Western metaphysics against his contemporaries in philosophy. Key are a couple of scholarly moves. Heidegger places Aristotle's Rhetoric in the Corpus Aristotelicum next to the Physics, away from the logical works and the Poetics. And he defines rhetoric as the hermeneutic of Dasein itself only after working out what he calls the “Greco-Christian interpretation of life.” Finally, this article explains how and why Heidegger left rhetoric behind soon after 1924, as he actively took up Weimar politics and consequently lost faith in the analysis of factical life Aristotle made possible.
Charles Dickens's Influence on Shaw Revisited: A Corpus-Based Stylistic Study
Authors: Ruano Pablo 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT
This article analyzes Charles Dickens's alleged influence on Shaw. Traditionally, such influence has rested upon impressionistic content-based references, which usually include themes, scenes, and especially characters. As will be shown here, though, Dickens's impact on Shaw is more profound than usually thought—or at least demonstrated. The analysis was limited to Dickens's fourteen novels and Shaw's five apprentice novels. It was carried out using a corpus-stylistic approach, making it possible to identify linguistic patterns used by both authors that have remained so far unremarked. A selection of the most frequent patterns in both corpora was scrutinized in an attempt to gauge to what degree Dickens's style had an impact on Shaw's craftsmanship. The analysis discloses more subtle concomitances in the style of both authors than so far have been noted, thus reinforcing Dickens's well-known influence on Shaw from a purely stylistic point of view.
John Steinbeck'sTo a God Unknownand Wendell Berry: An Ecocritical View
Authors: Bayley Elisabeth 
Published: December 2017

AbstractJohn Steinbeck's To a God Unknown actively engages an ecocritical imagination. This article is an ecocritical exploration of Steinbeck's work, in particular this novel. Elements of the human desire to have power over the land, the connection between the physical body and the land, and mystical underpinnings are points of focus. Wendell Berry's agrarian and communal arguments are used alongside these themes to show that Steinbeck may have been questioning how human beings can be connected with the land and with other people in a constructive, rather than a dominating or destructive manner.
A Systematic Assessment of the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Fault Activation Through Induced Seismicity in Oklahoma and Southern Kansas
Authors: Schoenball Martin , Ellsworth William L. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractMuch of Oklahoma and southern Kansas has seen widespread seismic activity in the last decade that is attributed to large‐scale wastewater disposal into the Arbuckle group. Using a waveform‐relocated earthquake catalog, we perform a systematic study of the activity on several hundreds of identified faults. We use 93 sequences with at least 30 events for a detailed analysis of their spatiotemporal evolution. For most awakened faults, seismicity tends to initiate at shallower depth and migrates deeper along the faults as the sequence proceeds. No major sequence starts with the largest earthquake, and many sequences initiate months before they rise to peak activity. We study temporal clustering as a means to quantify earthquake interactions. Some sequences show no temporal clustering similar to Poissonian background seismicity but at much higher rate than the natural background. Other sequences exhibit strong temporal clustering akin to main shock‐aftershock sequences. We conclude that once initiated by anthropogenic forcing, portions of the activated faults in the Oklahoma/Kansas area are close enough to failure to continue failing through earthquake interactions. In many sequences, including those with the largest earthquakes, seismicity continues within the previously activated region rather than by growing the activated area. Therefore, monitoring seismicity with a low magnitude threshold and high location precision has the potential to detect minor activity as it initiates failure on specific faults and thus provide time to take actions to mitigate the occurrence of potentially damaging earthquakes.

Published: December 2017

AbstractWe present an assessment of vertical seafloor deformation in the shallow marine sector of the Campi Flegrei caldera (southern Italy) obtained from GPS and bottom pressure recorder (BPR) data, acquired over the period April 2016 to July 2017 in the Gulf of Pozzuoli by a new marine infrastructure, MEDUSA. This infrastructure consists of four fixed buoys with GPS receivers; each buoy is connected by cable to a seafloor multisensor module hosting a BPR. The measured maximum vertical uplift of the seafloor is about 4.2 ± 0.4 cm. The MEDUSA data were then compared to the expected vertical displacement in the marine sector according to a Mogi model point source computed using only GPS land measurements. The results show that a single point source model of deformation is able to explain both the GPS land and seafloor data. Moreover, we demonstrate that a network of permanent GPS buoys represents a powerful tool to measure the seafloor vertical deformation field in shallow water. The performance of this system is comparable to on‐land high‐precision GPS networks, marking a significant achievement and advance in seafloor geodesy and extending volcano monitoring capabilities to shallow offshore areas (up to 100 m depth). The GPS measurements of MEDUSA have also been used to confirm that the BPR data provide an independent measure of the seafloor vertical uplift in shallow water.
Impact of Intraseasonal Oscillations on the Tropical Cyclone Activity Over the Gulf of Mexico and Western Caribbean Sea in GFDL HiRAM

Published: December 2017

AbstractThe tropical cyclones (TCs) that form over the warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico region pose a major threat to the surrounding coastal communities. Skillful subseasonal prediction of TC activity is important for early preparedness and reducing the TC damage in this region. In this study, we evaluate the performance of a 25 km resolution Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) High Resolution Atmospheric Model (HiRAM) in simulating the modulation of the TC activity in the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean Sea by the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) based on multiyear retrospective seasonal predictions. We demonstrate that the HiRAM faithfully captures the observed influence of ISO on TC activity over the region of interest, including the formation of tropical storms and (major) hurricanes, as well as the landfalling storms. This is likely because of the realistic representation of the large‐scale anomalies associated with boreal summer ISO over Northeast Pacific in HiRAM, especially the enhanced (reduced) moisture throughout the troposphere during the convectively enhanced (suppressed) phase of ISO. The reasonable performance of HiRAM suggests its potential for the subseasonal prediction of regional TC risk.
Blind adaptive identification of 2‐channel systems using bias‐compensated RLS algorithm
Authors: Jia Lijuan , Lou Jian , Yang Zijiang 
Published: December 2017

SummaryThis paper studies the problem of blind adaptive identification, which focuses on how to obtain the consistent estimation of channel characteristics when only the output signal of each transmission channel is available. To solve this problem, traditional algorithms usually construct a single‐input–multiple‐output system resorting to the technique of antenna array or time oversampling. However, they simply suppose that the noise of each channel is known a priori or balanced, which cannot always be satisfied in practice. Therefore, considering the practical situation where the noise of each transmission channel is both unknown and unbalanced, a bias‐compensated recursive least‐squares algorithm is proposed, which can estimate the unbalanced noises in real time and obtain the consistent estimation of channel characteristics. Simulation results illustrate the good performance of the proposed algorithm under different signal‐to‐noise‐ratio conditions.
Preconcentration of Nitroalkanes with Archetype Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as Concept for a Sensitive Sensing of Explosives in the Gas Phase

Published: December 2017

AbstractThermal desorption based enrichment is a general concept that can enhance any detection system's sensitivity and selectivity. Given their large interior surface area and chemical versatility, archetype metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are selected for preconcentration of explosives and their precursors occurring in low concentrations, and are compared to the state‐of‐the‐art sorbent Tenax TA. Applying inverse gas chromatography (iGC), this study shows that several archetype MOFs, namely HKUST‐1 and MIL‐53, surpass Tenax regarding their specific retention volume for nitromethane, a typical ingredient in improvised explosives. Using linear hydrocarbons as reference probe molecules, the dispersive surface energy is determined for all MOFs along with the specific contribution of the nitro group for HKUST‐1 and ZIF‐8. Trends from pulse‐chromatographic iGC‐investigations are mostly followed in breakthrough and thermal desorption experiments using a 1000 ppm nitromethane source. In these experiments, HKUST‐1 proves the peak substance, with enrichment factors being 109‐fold higher than for Tenax, followed by MIL‐53. In case of HKUST‐1, this factor is successfully reproduced for a 1 ppm concentration scenario. This shows that archetype MOFs can be suitable or even superior candidates for a sensitive sensing of nitroalkane explosives from the gas phase by a concept of preconcentration.

AbstractImmunotargeting ability of antibodies may show significant difference between in vitro and in vivo. To select antibody leads with high affinity and specificity, it is necessary to perform in vivo validation of antibody candidates following in vitro antibody screening. Herein, a robust in vivo validation of anti‐tetraspanin‐8 antibody candidates against human colon cancer using ratiometric quantification method is reported. The validation is performed on a single mouse and analyzed by multiplexed surface‐enhanced Raman scattering using ultrasensitive and near infrared (NIR)‐active surface‐enhanced resonance Raman scattering nanoprobes (NIR‐SERRS dots). The NIR‐SERRS dots are composed of NIR‐active labels and Au/Ag hollow‐shell assembled silica nanospheres. A 93% of NIR‐SERRS dots is detectable at a single‐particle level and signal intensity is 100‐fold stronger than that from nonresonant molecule‐labeled spherical Au NPs (80 nm). The result of SERRS‐based antibody validation is comparable to that of the conventional method using single‐photon‐emission computed tomography. The NIR‐SERRS‐based strategy is an alternate validation method which provides cost‐effective and accurate multiplexing measurements for antibody‐based drug development.
Hyperstage Graphite: Electrochemical Synthesis and Spontaneous Reactive Exfoliation
Authors: Jeon Intak , Yoon Bora , He Maggie , Swager Timothy M. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractCovalent modification of the π‐electron basal planes of graphene enables the formation of new materials with enhanced functionality. An electrochemical method is reported for the formation of what is referred to as a Hyperstage‐1 graphite intercalation compound (GIC), which has a very large interlayer spacing d001 > 15.3 Å and contains disordered interstitial molecules/ions. This material is highly activated and undergoes spontaneous exfoliation when reacted with diazonium ions to produce soluble graphenes with high functionalization densities of one pendant aromatic ring for every 12 graphene carbons. Critical to achieving high functionalization density is the Hyperstage‐1 GIC state, a weakening of the van der Waals coupling between adjacent graphene layers, and the ability of reactants to diffuse into the disordered intercalate phase between the layers. Graphene functionalization with 3,5‐dinitrophenyl groups provides for exceptional dispersibility (0.24 mg mL−1) in N,N‐dimethylformamide and for conjugation with amines.

Published: December 2017

AbstractCO2 conversion into valuable chemicals and fuels, such as methanol, is one of the most practical routes for utilizing emitted CO2 and mitigating global warming. Herein, a 3D Cu‐decorated ZnO nanorod array based structured catalysts for efficient thermochemical CO2 hydrogenation to methanol at relatively low pressures (<10 atm) is successfully fabricated and demonstrated. This new type of nanorod array integrated structured catalysts has yielded a methanol formation rate of 1.9 mol h−1 kg−1 with a methanol selectivity of 56%, rivaling the state‐of‐the‐art powder‐form catalysts. The well‐dispersed copper species on the array structure as well as the array‐structure‐enhanced interfacial effect are key factors that improve the activity of the nanorod array catalysts in CO2 hydrogenation. The Cu‐ZnO nanorod array interface also suppresses reverse water‐gas shift reaction, reducing the selectivity to CO. Further improvement of the performance of the nanorod array based catalysts is demonstrated by tuning the ZnO nanorod array length. The developed nanorod array integrated monolithic catalysts also exhibit good stability during a long‐time continuous operation, demonstrating the potential and the feasibility of their practical implementation in industrial situation.
Combining Light‐Gated and pH‐Responsive Nanopore Based on PEG‐Spiropyran Functionalization

Published: December 2017

AbstractTo mimic the selectivity and properties of biological channels and pumps, adaptive systems can be designed using artificial membranes. One big advantage of those membranes is that they are able to respond to several stimuli at the same time. Here, it is proposed to tailor conical nanopores by grafting polyethyleneglycol (PEG)‐spiropyrans in order to combine both light‐ and pH‐responsive properties. The study of the ionic transport reveals that after UV irradiation the nanopore is open while after visible irradiation, it is closed. This gating property is due to the self‐assembly of PEG‐spiropyran. The reversibility of the assembly inside the nanopore strongly depends on the solvent. Indeed, water blocks the photoswitchable molecule in its zwitterionic form, while ethanol favors the conformational switching. Under UV irradiation, the pH can control the nanopore selectivity. It is demonstrated that at acidic pH, the nanopore is selective to anion while at neutral pH the cation transport is favored.
The role of local government in migrant and refugee settlement in regional and rural Australia
Authors: Boese Martina , Phillips Melissa 
Published: December 2017

AbstractGovernment responsibility for the settlement of newly arrived refugees and migrants in Australia is shared between the federal, state and local levels. While Australia's settlement policies are predominantly top‐down and Commonwealth driven with some state involvement, local government has the potential to play a greater role in facilitating the settlement of newly arrived migrants and refugees. A growing body of literature in Australia and overseas highlights the role of local‐level policies in supporting integration and social cohesion, which is arguably even more crucial in the context of migrant and refugee settlement in regional and rural areas. This paper draws on focus groups with 90 local stakeholders in eight local government areas in Victoria to propose a typology of local government involvement that shows the variable but potentially significant role of local government in the regional and rural settlement of recent arrivals. We argue that Australia's over 560 local governments provide crucial but underutilised governance resources for improving the settlement process. This finding has implications for settlement policies and funding, intergovernmental coordination, and the retention of migrants and refugees in regional and rural communities in Australia.
