<p>A Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica representa um grave problema de saúde pública no país, sendo um dos fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares. É caracterizado pela elevação da pressão arterial a nível igual ou superior a 140 mmHg da pressão sistólica 90 mmHg da diastólica. Este estudo tem por objetivo verificar o estilo de vida dos portadores de Hipertensão Arterial atendidos em uma unidade de saúde da família de um município paraibano. Caracteriza-se por um estudo do tipo exploratório, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa. A amostra do estudo foi constituída por 30 hipertensos. Os dados apresentados em tabelas e gráficos revelaram que a maioria dos hipertensos está em idade superior a 60 anos, cumpre algumas das orientações transmitidas pelo profissional de saúde, como a não ingestão de sal, não ingestão de gordura, prática de atividade física e não uso do álcool e do tabaco. Verificou-se também que todos os entrevistados fazem uso de medicamentos no tratamento da Hipertensão Arterial. Foi observado um estilo de vida um pouco acomodado por parte dos entrevistados quanto ao uso de sal, de gordura e da prática de atividade física onde relataram não essas orientações. Isso nos leva a entender que estilo de vida da população está contribuindo para a elevação dos níveis tensionais e não haja um controle da hipertensão arterial. </p><p align="center"><strong><em>Lifestyle assessment in hypertensive Municipality of Malta-PB</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The Hypertension is a major public health problem in the country, one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Influence of Bradyrhizobium Inoculation and Fungicide Seed Treatment on Development and Yield of Cowpea, Lablab, and Soybean
Authors: Bulyaba Rosemary , Lenssen Andrew W. 
Published: June 2017

Core Ideas
Cowpea did not require Bradyrhizobium inoculation for nodulation.
Lablab required Bradyrhizobium inoculation for nodulation.
Fungicide seed treatment did not compromise nodulation of cowpea or lablab.
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] and lablab (Lablab purpureus L.) are grain legumes with limited testing for grain, forage, and cover crop use in the US Corn Belt. We conducted a 2‐year field study to determine the influence of Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation and fungicide seed treatment on development, nodulation, and yield of selected grain legumes. Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] was included as a well‐understood control. The experimental design was a randomized complete block in a factorial of four grain legumes with and without Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation and a fungicide seed treatment. The cultivars used in the experiment were soybean P92Y82, cowpeas CA46 and Top Crop, and lablab Rongai. The seed treatments were fungicide, mefenoxam + fludioxonil (ApronMaxx), and Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculant. The two experimental sites had four blocks each year, every block consisting of 16 plots with different crop–fungicide–Bradyrhizobium combinations. Each crop had four treatments: fungicide only, Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculant only, fungicide + inoculant, and a control (with no fungicide or inoculant). Cowpea plants had numerous functional nodules (pinkish or reddish on the inside) in the absence of Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation, but lablab never produced any nodules without inoculation. We found no significant effects of Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation and fungicide seed treatment on cowpea, lablab, or soybean grain yield.

Published: June 2017

Abstract
The delivery of treatment and supply solutions for the management of water infrastructure for small and remote communities presents unique challenges. The identification of water quality hazards, the management of risks and conducting plant performance validation and verification activities can all be problematic. The ‘Demonstration of Robust Water Recycling’ (Robust Recycling) Project was funded by the Australian Water Recycling Centre of Excellence (AWRCoE) and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) as a means of developing strategies for the provision of small scale water treatment schemes from non-traditional water sources. Using the example of the AAD's Davis Station, this project featured an alternative approach to the establishment of a risk management framework for water recycling. This approach may be applicable to both drinking and recycled water schemes in other small and remote communities.
Security analysis of a „Location-stamping” protocol for GPS coordinates
Authors: Ádámkó Éva 
Published: June 2017

Due to the rapid growth of GNSS based techniques in everyday life a service which can provide certified location information given by GPS coordinates became a worth considering idea. We designed two protocols that can achieve this goal, these can provide authenticate location and time information for any device which has a GPS receiver. In this article, I would like to prove -with the help of ProVerif software tool-, the latter statement. I investigated the authenticity and data integrity properties of the protocol.
Las humanidades en una edad de destrucción
Authors: Subirats Eduardo 
Published: June 2017

Comparadas con saberes que permiten dominar la naturaleza y dar réditos económicos, las humanidades parecen hoy en día irrelevantes. Queriendo complacer esta exigencia, han perdido su rumbo. Las humanidades heredaron del humanismo renacentista la perspectiva universal, la recepción de la diversidad, la superación del dogmatismo religioso; impulsaron la libertad, la crítica y la emancipación. En la actualidad, el neoliberalismo le cobra a éstas su capacidad de disentir. Las universidades complacen al corporativismo planetario formando antihumanistas enmascarados con jergas ciegas a las crisis de nuestro tiempo: el hambre, el calentamiento global.

In the present paper, the essential oil and the volatiles emitted in vivo by leaves of A. herba alba, which grows wild in center of Tunisia, were analyzed by GC-MS and SPME, respectively. The essential oil was characterized by the predominance of oxygenated monoterpenes (93.3%) with α-thujone as the major compound (45.5%) followed by β-thujone (11.4%), trans-sabinyl acetate (10.1%) and 1,8-cineole (7.4%). The SPME analyses showed that oxygenated monoterpenes were the most representative compounds (64.9%). The major ones were α-thujone (37.9%), germacrene D (16.5%), 1,8-cineole (8.4%) followed by β-thujone (7.8%). Moreover, different activities (antioxidant, antibacterial, allelopathic and insecticidal) of the leaf essential oil were investigated. The antioxidant activity was ascertained by evaluating its inhibitory effect against DPPH and ABTS. The results showed that the essential oil had a strong activity and it was more effective against the DPPH radical (IC50 = 6 μg/mL) than the ABTS radical (IC50 = 40 μg/mL). In antibacterial screening, it inhibited the growth of all bacteria tested except Salmonella anatum and Salmonella salamae which were resistant to this oil type. Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio cholera were found to be extremely sensitive with the lowest MIC value (0.007 mg/mL). In addition, allelopathic activity was evaluated against Lactuca sativa and Raphanus sativus. Data showed that, with essential oil, seed germination was completely inhibited for both of them, suggesting a potent allelopathic potential for the evaluated oil. Insecticidal activity was investigated against Culex pipiens larvae and a weak activity (LC50 241.1 ppm) for this A. herba alba essential oil.
Determining Empirical Stellar Masses and Radii from Transits and Gaia Parallaxes as Illustrated by Spitzer Observations of KELT-11b

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Using the Spitzer Space Telescope, we observed a transit at 3.6 μm of KELT-11b. We also observed three partial planetary transits from the ground. We simultaneously fit these observations, ground-based photometry from Pepper et al., radial velocity data from Pepper et al., and a spectral energy distribution (SED) model using catalog magnitudes and the Hipparcos parallax to the system. The only significant difference between our results and those of Pepper et al. is that we find the orbital period to be shorter by 37 s, 4.73610 ± 0.00003 versus 4.73653 ± 0.00006 days, and we measure a transit center time of

2457483.4310 ± 0.0007, which is 42 minutes earlier than predicted. Using our new photometry, we precisely measure the density of the star KELT-11 to 4%. By combining the parallax and catalog magnitudes of the system, we are able to measure the radius of KELT-11b essentially empirically. Coupled with the stellar density, this gives a parallactic mass and radius of 1.8

and 2.9

, which are each approximately 1σ higher than the adopted model-estimated mass and radius. If we conduct the same fit using the expected parallax uncertainty from the final Gaia data release, this difference increases to 4σ. The differences between the model and parallactic masses and radii for KELT-11 demonstrate the role that precise Gaia parallaxes, coupled with simultaneous photometric, radial velocity, and SED fitting, can play in determining stellar and planetary parameters. With high-precision photometry of transiting planets and high-precision Gaia parallaxes, the parallactic mass and radius uncertainties of stars become 1% and 3%, respectively. TESS is expected to discover 60–80 systems where these measurements will be possible. These parallactic mass and radius measurements have uncertainties small enough that they may provide observational input into the stellar models themselves.

Abstract
We present ALMA observations of the 2M1207 system, a young binary made of a brown dwarf with a planetary-mass companion at a projected separation of about 40 au. We detect emission from dust continuum at 0.89 mm and from the

rotational transition of CO from a very compact disk around the young brown dwarf. The small radius found for this brown dwarf disk may be due to truncation from the tidal interaction with the planetary-mass companion. Under the assumption of optically thin dust emission, we estimate a dust mass of 0.1 M
⊕ for the 2M1207A disk and a 3σ upper limit of ∼1 M
Moon for dust surrounding 2M1207b, which is the tightest upper limit obtained so far for the mass of dust particles surrounding a young planetary-mass companion. We discuss the impact of this and other non-detections of young planetary-mass companions for models of planet formation that predict circumplanetary material to surround these objects.
A comparative study of truncation in Malay and Indonesian

Il a longtemps été considéré, dans des études antérieures, que le malais et l’indonésien étaient des langues dissyllabiques, c’est-à-dire que les mots, dans chacune de ces langues, devaient comporter au moins deux syllabes. Cet article a pour objectif de montrer qu’en réalité il existe, dans l’un et l’autre cas, des éléments qui ne respectent pas cette exigence. Pour ce faire, on se centrera sur la troncature des noms de personnes et des termes d’adresse en malais et en indonésien. Cette étude illustre le fait que le principe de minimalité des langues est violé par les troncatures monosyllabiques, l’un des modèles de troncature, ainsi que par les troncatures disyllabiques. Si l’on tient compte du modèle Morpheme - Base (MBT) , les troncatures dans les deux langues doivent satisfaire la contrainte appelée BASE ≠ TRUNC , laquelle exige que les formes tronquées ne soient pas identiques à la forme de base . Il en résulte que les troncatures monosyllabiques émergent, en particulier, lorsque les bases sont disyllabiques, cette contrainte occupant un rang élevé dans le classement des contraintes portant sur ces deux langues.
« Nous devons élargir chaque fissure du rideau de fer. » La diplomatie culturelle américaine en direction du bloc soviétique au prisme des échanges universitaires (1955-1961)
Authors: Faure Justine 
Published: June 2017

Cet article se propose de revenir sur les années fondatrices de la diplomatie culturelle des États-Unis en direction du bloc soviétique à travers l’étude d’une organisation méconnue, l’Inter-University Committee for Travels Grants (IUCTG). Fondée par des universitaires en 1955 afin de gérer les échanges en sciences humaines et sociales avec l’URSS, cette organisation offre un exemple intéressant du fonctionnement des réseaux privé-public en temps de Guerre froide. À travers cette étude de cas, l’article apporte un autre regard sur la chronologie, révélant en particulier l’opposition initiale du Département d’État aux échanges de personnes entre les États-Unis et l’URSS et, en conséquence, le rôle pionnier du secteur privé dans ce domaine. Il éclaire aussi les convergences et divergences entre l’État et les universitaires, notamment sur la finalité des échanges.

Abstract
von Willebrand factor (VWF), a multimeric protein with a central role in hemostasis, has been shown to interact with complement components. However, results are contrasting and inconclusive. By studying 20 patients with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) who cannot cleave VWF multimers because of genetic ADAMTS13 deficiency, we investigated the mechanism through which VWF modulates complement and its pathophysiological implications for human diseases. Using assays of ex vivo serum-induced C3 and C5b-9 deposits on endothelial cells, we documented that in cTTP, complement is activated via the alternative pathway (AP) on the cell surface. This abnormality was corrected by restoring ADAMTS13 activity in cTTP serum, which prevented VWF multimer accumulation on endothelial cells, or by an anti-VWF Ab. In mechanistic studies we found that VWF interacts with C3b through its three type A domains and initiates AP activation, although assembly of active C5 convertase and formation of the terminal complement products C5a and C5b-9 occur only on the VWF-A2 domain. Finally, we documented that in the condition of ADAMTS13 deficiency, VWF-mediated formation of terminal complement products, particularly C5a, alters the endothelial antithrombogenic properties and induces microvascular thrombosis in a perfusion system. Altogether, the results demonstrated that VWF provides a platform for the activation of the AP of complement, which profoundly alters the phenotype of microvascular endothelial cells. These findings link hemostasis-thrombosis with the AP of complement and open new therapeutic perspectives in cTTP and in general in thrombotic and inflammatory disorders associated with endothelium perturbation, VWF release, and complement activation.
TLR7 Signaling Regulates Th17 Cells and Autoimmunity: Novel Potential for Autoimmune Therapy

Abstract
Innate regulation through TLR signaling has been shown to be important for promoting T cell subset development and function. However, limited information is known about whether differential TLR signaling can selectively inhibit Th17 and/or Th1 cells, which are important for controlling excessive inflammation and autoimmune responses. In this article, we demonstrate that activation of TLR7 signaling in T cells can inhibit Th17 cell differentiation from naive T cells and IL-17 production in established Th17 cells. We further report that downregulation of STAT3 signaling is responsible for TLR7-mediated inhibition of Th17 cells due to induction of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 and 5. TLR7-mediated suppression of Th17 cells does not require dendritic cell involvement. In addition, we show that TLR7 signaling can suppress Th1 cell development and function through a mechanism different from Th17 cell suppression. Importantly, our complementary in vivo studies demonstrate that treatment with the TLR7 ligand imiquimod can inhibit Th1 and Th17 cells, resulting in the prevention of, and an immunotherapeutic reduction in, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. These studies identify a new strategy to manipulate Th17/Th1 cells through TLR7 signaling, with important implications for successful immunotherapy against autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
B cells express the innate receptor, TLR9, which signals in response to unmethylated CpG sequences in microbial DNA. Of the two major classes of CpG-containing oligonucleotides, CpG-A appears restricted to inducing type 1 IFN in innate immune cells and CpG-B to activating B cells to proliferate and produce Abs and inflammatory cytokines. Although CpGs are candidates for adjuvants to boost innate and adaptive immunity, our understanding of the effect of CpG-A and CpG-B on B cell responses is incomplete. In this study we show that both CpG-B and CpG-A activated B cells in vitro to proliferate, secrete Abs and IL-6, and that neither CpG-B nor CpG-A alone induced type 1 IFN production. However, when incorporated into the cationic lipid, DOTAP, CpG-A, but not CpG-B, induced a type 1 IFN response in B cells in vitro and in vivo. We provide evidence that differences in the function of CpG-A and CpG-B may be related to their intracellular trafficking in B cells. These findings fill an important gap in our understanding of the B cell response to CpGs, with implications for the use of CpG-A and CpG-B as immunomodulators.
