O circo chegou à cidade! Oportunidades de inovação sócio-territorial
Authors: André Isabel , Reis João 
Published: November 2016

Este artigo discute o papel das artes, e do circo em particular, na construção de meios socialmente criativos que impulsionam, através da inovação social, o desenvolvimento dos lugares. Estes meios – bairros, cidades ou regiões – conjugam normalmente diversidade, tolerância, participação e memória colectiva e o circo, enquanto meio artístico, associa bem essas quatro características. Para compreender mais detalhadamente a relação do circo com a inovação social analisamos o caso específico do Chapitô, em Lisboa. A presença do Chapitô na cidade, através de múltiplas actividades que ligam as artes circenses à inclusão social, é um dado adquirido e amplamente reconhecido. Contudo, parece haver alguma dificuldade em protagonizar um “salto qualitativo” que permita, por um lado, alargar a escala de actuação desta instituição e, por outro, passar para um patamar de qualificação mais elevado. Numa leitura mais ampla, consideramos que as artes circenses denotam uma capacidade assinalável para impulsionarem a inovação sócio-territorial, tanto através da qualificação do espaço público urbano como por via da inclusão social de crianças e jovens em risco.

Published: November 2016

las cabeceras de los valles de San Juan y Río Seco (Sierra Nevada) acogen un notable desarrollo de geoformas solifuidales, entre ellas los lóbulos. El control térmico y dinámico de uno de éstos, en el circo de Río Seco, muestra que la solifluxión permanece inactiva, a pesar de existir una capa helada estacional de hasta 70 cm de profundidad. Respecto a la génesis de los lóbulos de solifluxión, el estudio sedimentológico permite deducir fases de actividad solifluidal alternándose con fases de desarrollo edáfico durante el holoceno tardío
Padrões térmicos no alto vale do Zêzere. Condicionantes topográficas e meteorológicas
Authors: Mora Carla 
Published: November 2016

Os climas das áreas de montanha são mal conhecidos devido à ausência de observações meteorológicas em posições topográficas diferenciadas. Esta lacuna foi colmatada nos Altos planaltos da Serra da Estrela com a instalação de uma rede de postos termométricos automáticos que registaram a temperatura instantânea do ar em intervalos de 2 horas durante o ano 2000. com uma classificação k-means foi possível agrupar as observações e identificar quatro principais padrões térmicos. Em dois padrões (2 e 3) registou-se a diminuição da temperatura com a altitude (% dos casos). No entanto, além daqueles padrões mais comuns verificouse que, em 34% dos casos, os fundos dos vales estão mais frios do que os planaltos (padrões 1 e 4). No padrão 1 os lagos de ar frio ocorrem de noite e, no padrão 4, mantêm-se durante a manhã. As causas da ocorrência dos diferentes padrões foram esclarecidas a partir da análise discriminante one-way ANOVA utilizando-se factores explicativos meteorológicos e topográficos. Esta mostrou que os padrões 2 e 3 estão associados a condições de instabilidade atmosférica, com velocidade do vento e humidade relativa superiores às registadas nos outros padrões e movimentos verticais das massas de ar mais intensos (ómega negativo). pelo contrário, os padrões 1 e 4 estão associados a condições de estabilidade atmosférica. As variáveis com maior grau de explicação foram integradas na análise discriminante, que classifica correctamente 74% dos casos. A primeira função (71%) discrimina os eventos nocturnos dos diurnos e a segunda (41%) os eventos em função do grau de estabilidade atmosférica. os resultados ilustram bem o efeito do relevo sobre as temperaturas do ar e poderão ser extrapolados para montanhas com condições climáticas e topográficas semelhantes. o conhecimento do efeito de sombra induzido pelos vales e a sua repercussão na manutenção dos lagos de ar frio durante a manhã em vales de orientação Norte-Sul é especialmente importante para o ordenamento e em estudos de impacte ambiental.
Polygonal terrains on Mars

Published: November 2016

The presence of water ice on mars is well established. Some features on the planet point to the occurrence of processes similar to those that take place in periglacial areas of Earth. one of the clues for this is the existence of small-scale polygonal terrains. In this paper, we present a methodology that aims at the automated identification of polygonal patterns on high-spatial resolution images of the surface of mars. In the context of the research project TERpolI, this step will be complemented with a full characterization, in both geometric and topological terms, of the networks detected. In this manner, we hope to collect data that will lead to a better understanding of the conditions of formation of the polygons, and of their temporal evolution; namely, we intend to identify different groups of polygons and to compare them with terrestrial examples.
The study of the climate in the past and the climate change in mainland portugal using geothermal data has started in 199
Authors: Correia António 
Published: November 2016

The study of the climate in the past and the climate change in mainland portugal using geothermal data has started in 199. Reconstruction of ground surface temperature (GST) history from temperature logs measured in a 200 m deep borehole located 5 km away from the town of évora in portugal, indicates a warming of 1K since the second half of the nineteenth century to the middle of the 90s of the twentieth century, increasing considerably in the last 10 years. Results of the reconstruction (based on a functional space inversion – FSI – method) are compared with air temperatures recorded at the lisbon meteorological station since 185. The air temperature time series display a warming trend with the amplitude about 1K for the same period. The coupling of the air and ground temperature changes and their downward propagation by heat conduction was confirmed by repeated logging in November 2003, .7 years after obtaining the first temperature log. The method can be used in paleoclimatic studies in Antarctica as well as in areas with permafrost.
Costes sociales y temporales de la movilidad de los polígonos industriales. El caso de la región metropolitana de Barcelona
Authors: Cebollada Àngel , Avellaneda Pau 
Published: November 2016

Desde los años 60 del siglo XX se observa una tendencia creciente a trasladar las actividades industriales a polígonos creados para tal ﬁn en las periferias urbanas. La conexión entre estos nuevos espacios productivos y el resto de espacios urbanos se ha fundamentado en el uso masivo del vehículo privado; esta opción de conectividad conlleva unos altos costes de movilidad los cuáles se dividen en operativos, ambientales, sociales y temporales. Este artículo se centra en el estudio de los costes sociales y temporales derivados de la movilidad a los polígonos industriales de dos municipios periféricos de la Región Metropolitana de Barcelona. Los resultados obtenidos, permiten realzar la importancia de la organización territorial y de la planiﬁcación de los transportes en la disminución de dichos costes y, por lo tanto, como instrumentos útiles para llevar a cabo políticas sociales
Reclaim the Streets, the protestival and the creative transformation of the city
Authors: Carmo André 
Published: November 2016

The main goal of this article is to reflect upon the relationship between creativity and urban transformation. it stems from the assumption that creativity has a paradoxical nature as it is simultaneously used for the production of the neoliberal city and by those seeking to challenge it and build alternative urban realities. first, we put forth a critical review of the creative city narrative, focused on richard florida’s work, as it progressively became fundamental for the neoliberal city. afterwards, and contrasting with that dominant narrative, we describe a trajectory of Reclaim the Streets that provides the basis for our discussion of the protestival (protest + carnival) as its main creative force of urban transformation.
Evidence and Health Policy: Using and Regulating Systematic Reviews
Authors: Fox Daniel M. 
Published: November 2016

Systematic reviews have, increasingly, informed policy for almost 3 decades. In many countries, systematic reviews have informed policy for public and population health, paying for health care, increasing the quality and efficiency of interventions, and improving the effectiveness of health sector professionals and the organizations in which they work. Systematic reviews also inform other policy areas: criminal justice, education, social welfare, and the regulation of toxins in the environment. Although the production and use of systematic reviews has steadily increased, many clinicians, public health officials, representatives of commercial organizations, and, consequently, policymakers who are responsive to them, have been reluctant to use these reviews to inform policy; others have actively opposed using them. Systematic reviews could inform policy more effectively with changes to current practices and the assumptions that sustain these practices—assumptions made by researchers and the organizations that employ them, by public and private funders of systematic reviews, and by organizations that finance, set priorities and standards for, and publish them.

Objectives. To update public health surveillance of alcohol advertising to underage populations by assessing alcohol industry compliance with their voluntary guidelines for US magazine advertisements from 2001 to 2011.Methods. Using advertising industry standard sources The Nielsen Company and MediaMark, we evaluated youth exposure to alcohol advertising, and relative advertising exposure of youths versus adults, in 168 national magazines.Results. From 2001 to 2011, magazine alcohol advertising seen by youths declined by 62.9%, from 5.4 billion impressions (single person seeing a single advertisement) to 2.0 billion impressions. Most alcohol advertising (65.1% of ads) was for spirits (e.g., vodka, whiskey). Since 2008, alcohol companies achieved 100% compliance with their limited guidelines. However, youths were overexposed to magazine advertising relative to adults on average 73% of the time.Conclusions. Despite improving compliance with placement guidelines in national editions of the 168 measured magazines, most youth exposure to magazine alcohol advertising exceeded adult exposure, per capita. If alcohol companies adopted stricter guidelines based on public health risk assessments, youths would not be overexposed to alcohol advertising in magazines.
Evaluating Public Health Interventions: 5. Causal Inference in Public Health Research—Do Sex, Race, and Biological Factors Cause Health Outcomes?
Authors: Glymour M. Maria , Spiegelman Donna 
Published: November 2016

Counterfactual frameworks and statistical methods for supporting causal inference are powerful tools to clarify scientific questions and guide analyses in public health research. Counterfactual accounts of causation contrast what would happen to a population’s health under alternative exposure scenarios. A long-standing debate in counterfactual theory relates to whether sex, race, and biological characteristics, including obesity, should be evaluated as causes, given that these variables do not directly correspond to clearly defined interventions. We argue that sex, race, and biological characteristics are important health determinants. Quantifying the overall health effects of these variables is often a natural starting point for disparities research. Subsequent assessments of biological or social pathways mediating those effects can facilitate the development of interventions designed to reduce disparities.
A Digital Morphometric Approach for Quantifying Ped Shape

Published: November 2016

Core Ideas
Ped shapes were quantified from digital photographs.
Circularity was the most useful morphometric for distinguishing ped types.
Experience and training influenced ability to recognize prismatic peds.
Existing photographs can be analyzed with this approach without the need to resample.
Ped shape is an important property with considerable influence over soil processes, such as root penetration, water infiltration, and solute transport. Despite the host of methods employed to quantify other soil morphological properties, ped shape quantification remains elusive. Existing methods attempting to quantify soil structure utilize laboratory techniques that have limitations on sample size and resolution. Our goal was to overcome these limitations by developing an approach to quantify ped shape using morphometrics created from published digital photographs of soil profiles and structure specimens. In addition, ped shapes from heuristic diagrams and three‐dimensional (3‐D) scans of peds were examined. The heuristic diagrams were quantified to assess ped shapes derived from common conceptualizations of soil structure, while the 3‐D scans were quantified to assess the effect of ped orientation on shape measurements. Ped shape was quantified by manually outlining distinct examples of soil peds from high‐resolution photographs and heuristic diagrams and calculating several morphometrics from the resulting silhouettes using image analysis software. A survey was designed to poll expert judgment to properly classify the shape of these peds. Using this method, we were able to transform typical categorical and subjective descriptions of peds into continuous quantitative shape data. The shape metrics, circularity and width to height ratio, exemplify the type of continuous variables that allow significant differences between ped shapes to be detected. This approach opens the door to analyzing soil structure at regional and continental scales through the analysis of existing photographs without the need to resample.

Published: November 2016

The issue of surgical treatment of patients with generalized periodontitis and osteopenia is particularly topical. Numerous studies have confirmed the benefits of surgical treatment procedures using osteoplastic material to stimulate repair process of periodontal tissues. The objective of the research was to improve the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with generalized periodontitis and osteopenia through the combined use of osteoplastic material and antiresorptive drugs in the preoperative and postoperative periods.93 patients underwent treatment and clinical observation. The patients were divided into three groups. Group I included 20 patients who underwent surgical treatment according to conventional procedure. Group II included 25 patients who underwent surgical treatment with local application of osteoplastic material “Easy Graft”. Surgical treatment in Group III (26 patients) was conducted using osteoplastic material “Easy Graft” and antiresorptive drug “Bonviva”. Experimental group consisted of 22 apparently healthy individuals. The obtained results indicated that surgical treatment using osteoplastic material and antiresorptive drug contributes to the most significant positive effect determined according to the dynamics of densitometric values. Combined use of osteoplastic material “Easy Graft” and antiresorptive drug “Bonviva” leads to stable process stabilization being confirmed by densitometric study indices both in early and in remote postoperative period.

Published: November 2016

Allelic variation of apolipoprotein E (apo E) has been shown to infl uence the concentrations of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and considered to play a role as one of risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between Apo E polymorphism and the risk of CHD. Blood samples were collected from 33 CHD patients in Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta, and 38 apparently healthy control individuals in a cross sectional study. The common allelic variants of ApoE were screened employing polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. The results obtained were analyzed by t-test and signifi cantly different if p <0.05 and risk factor was calculated by odd ratio. Frequency of ApoE ε2, ε2 and ε4 alleles in CHD patients were 12.1%, 69.7% and 18.2% while in controls were 18.4%, 72.4% and 9.2% respectively. Dyslipidemia condition was a strongrisk factor for CHD. By controlling lipid profi le and applying multifactorial statistic analysis, it was shown that ε4 gene carrier was the risk factor for CHD, but not in triglyceride level, whereas ε2 carrier gene was not the risk factor for CHD. Dislipidemia was the risk factor for CHD and ApoE ε4 gene carrier was the risk factor for CHD. Key words: apolipoprotein E, ApoE ε4 gene carrier, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia.
Comparative Analysis of Genes Induced by Respiratory Syncytial Virus and DsRNA in Human Epithelial Cells
Authors: Limmon Gino Valentino 
Published: November 2016

Epithelial cells are the primary target of respiratory viral infections and play a pivotal role in virusinducedlung infl ammation and in anti viral immune response. A common signal for the presence of viralinfections and induction of infl ammation is recognition of double stranded RNA (dsRNA). Thus far, therehas not been a high-throughput transcrptome analysis of RSV- or dsRNA-induced genes in primary humanbronchial epithelial cells (PHBE), nor there has been a comparison between dsRNA- and RSV-inducedgenes. To establish the transcriptome profi les and to determine the contribution of dsRNA in the inductionof infl ammation during respiratory virus infection, we compared the gene expression profi les of PHBE cellsthat were infected with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) or were treated with dsRNA. Our transcriptomeanalysis showed that RSV infection and and dsRNA treatment induced up-regulation of 2024 and 159 genesin PHBE respectively. Comparison of genes revealed that RSV and dsRNA commonly induced 75 genes inPHBE cells. The common up-regulated genes were functionally grouped in multiple response pathwaysinvolved in infl ammation and immune responses. Interestingly, there were several previously unreportedgenes that were up-regulated in primary human epithelial cells that are relevant to a TH2 allergic phenotype.This comparison of a high-throughput gene expression study offers a comprehensive view of transcriptionalchanges induced by dsRNA and RSV, and importantly compares dsRNA-induced genes with RSV-inducedgenes in PHBE cells. Keywords: RSV, dsRNA, transcriptome, immune response, infl ammation

Published: November 2016

Bacillus sp. PSA10 and Bacillus sp. PPK5 were two indigenous strain amylolytic bacteria from SoutheastSulawesi that have ability to produce bioplastic poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) from sago starch. The study wasattempted to determine the mechanism of PHB production by bacteria amylolytic was grown on sago starchcontainingmedia. Two amylolytic bacteria i.e. Bacillus sp. PSA10 and Bacillus sp. PPK5 was grown for 168 hin a mineral salts medium with sago starch as carbon source. Growth of amylolytic bacteria was monitoredby cell dry weight. Extraction of PHB was done by N-hexane acetone-diethyl ether method and PHB contentwas quantifi ed with UV spectrophotometer at 235 nm. Glucose level was determined by using kit of glucoseGOD 10” and was quantifi ed with spectrophotometer at 500 nm. Sago starch concentration was determinedby phenol method using specthrophotometer at 490 nm. The result of the study showed that Bacillus sp.PSA10 was produced PHB up to 66,81 % (g PHB/g cell dry weight) at 48 h and Bacillus sp. PPK5 up to 24,83% (g PHB/g cell dry weight) at 84 h. Bacillus sp. PSA10 has ability to converse sago starch to be PHB directlywithout glucose accumulation in the media, whereas Bacillus sp. PPK5 have to accumulate glucose as productof sago starch hydrolysis to produce of PHB. PHB synthesis by Bacillus sp. PHB production on sago starchof the Bacillus sp. PSA10 was found to be growth-associated whereas Bacillus sp. PPK5 was found to be nongrowth-associated. Therefore, two indigenous amylolytic bacteria were having of difference in biosynthesismechanism of PHB in sago starch medium and their characteristics of PHB synthesis should be consideredin developing cultivation methods for the effi cient production of PHB.
