Verfassungssoziologie als Rechtskulturvergleich
Authors: Witte Daniel , Bucholc Marta 
Published: December 2017

ZusammenfassungVerfassungen bilden einen komplexen kulturellen Tatbestand, der sich als normative Ordnung allein nicht angemessen beschreiben lässt. Hieraus ergeben sich vielfältige komparative Potenziale, die bislang weder in der Rechtsvergleichung noch in der Soziologie des Rechts ausgeschöpft scheinen. Der Beitrag skizziert vor diesem Hintergrund die Grundzüge einer rechtskulturvergleichenden Verfassungssoziologie. Zu diesem Zweck wird in einem ersten Schritt ein Analyseraster vorgeschlagen, das an der Mehrdimensionalität und Vielgestaltigkeit von Verfassungskulturen orientiert ist. Dabei wird zwischen einernormativ-semantischen, einersymbolisch-epistemischen, einerpraktisch-diskursivenund einerorganisatorisch-sozialstrukturellenDimension von Verfassungskultur unterschieden. In einem zweiten Schritt wird diese Analytik exemplarisch auf die Verfassungskulturen der USA sowie Polens angewendet, die sodann in einem dritten Schritt miteinander kontrastiert werden. Der Beitrag schließt mit einigen Anmerkungen zur Logik und dem heuristischen Nutzen des Untersuchungsschemas.

Abstract
de la Motte, SJ, Lisman, P, Gribbin, TC, Murphy, K, and Deuster, PA. Systematic review of the association between physical fitness and musculoskeletal injury risk: part 3—flexibility, power, speed, balance, and agility. J Strength Cond Res 33(6): 1723–1735, 2019—We performed a systematic review and evaluation of the existing scientific literature on the association between flexibility, power, speed, balance, and agility, and musculoskeletal injury (MSK-I) risk in military and civilian populations. MEDLINE, EBSCO, EMBASE, and the Defense Technical Information Center were searched for original studies published from 1970 to 2015 that examined associations between these physical fitness measures (flexibility, power, speed, balance, and agility) and MSK-I. Methodological quality and strength of the evidence were determined after criteria adapted from previously published systematic reviews. Twenty-seven of 4,229 citations met our inclusion criteria. Primary findings indicate that there is (a) moderate evidence that hamstring flexibility, as measured by performance on a sit-and-reach test or active straight leg raise test assessed with goniometry, and ankle flexibility, assessed with goniometry, are associated with MSK-I risk; (b) moderate evidence that lower body power, as measured by performance on a standing broad jump or vertical jump with no countermovement, is associated with MSK-I risk; (c) moderate evidence that slow sprint speed is associated with MSK-I risk; (d) moderate evidence that poor performance on a single-leg balance test is associated with increased risk for ankle sprain; and (e) insufficient evidence that agility is associated with MSK-I risk. Several measures of flexibility, power, speed, and balance are risk factors for training-related MSK-I in military and civilian athletic populations. Importantly, these findings can be useful for military, first responder, and athletic communities who are seeking evidence-based metrics for assessing or stratifying populations for risk of MSK-I.

Abstract
Calcineurin modulates environmental stress survival and virulence of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Previously, we identified 44 putative calcineurin substrates, and proposed that the calcineurin pathway is branched to regulate targets including Crz1, Pbp1, and Puf4 in C. neoformans. In this study, we characterized Had1, which is one of the putative calcineurin substrates belonging to the ubiquitously conserved haloacid dehalogenase β-phosphoglucomutase protein superfamily. Growth of the had1∆ mutant was found to be compromised at 38° or higher. In addition, the had1∆ mutant exhibited increased sensitivity to cell wall perturbing agents, including Congo Red and Calcofluor White, and to an endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer dithiothreitol. Virulence studies revealed that the had1 mutation results in attenuated virulence compared to the wild-type strain in a murine inhalation infection model. Genetic epistasis analysis revealed that Had1 and the zinc finger transcription factor Crz1 play roles in parallel pathways that orchestrate stress survival and fungal virulence. Overall, our results demonstrate that Had1 is a key regulator of thermotolerance, cell wall integrity, and virulence of C. neoformans.

Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND:
Loss-of-control (LOC) eating is common in adults undergoing bariatric surgery and is associated with poorer weight outcomes. Its long-term course in adolescent bariatric surgery patients and associations with weight outcomes are unclear.

METHODS:
Adolescents (n = 234; age range = 13–19 years) undergoing bariatric surgery across 5 US sites were assessed for postsurgery follow-up at 6 months and 1, 2, 3, and 4 years. Descriptive statistics and generalized linear mixed models were used to describe the prevalence of LOC eating episodes involving objectively large amounts of food and continuous eating, respectively. Generalized linear mixed models investigated the association of any LOC eating with short- and long-term BMI changes.

RESULTS:
At baseline, objectively large LOC eating was reported by 15.4% of adolescents, and continuous LOC eating by 27.8% of adolescents. Both forms of LOC eating were significantly lower at all postsurgical time points relative to presurgery (range = 0.5%–14.5%; Ps &lt; .05). However, both behaviors gradually increased from 6-month to 4-year follow-up (Ps &lt; .05). Presurgical LOC eating was not related to percent BMI change over follow-up (P = .79). However, LOC eating at 1-, 2-, and 3-year follow-up was associated with lower percent BMI change from baseline at the next consecutive assessment (Ps &lt; .05).

CONCLUSIONS:
Although presurgical LOC eating was not related to relative weight loss after surgery, postoperative LOC eating may adversely affect long-term weight outcomes. Rates of LOC eating decreased from presurgery to 6-months postsurgery but increased thereafter. Therefore, this behavior may warrant additional empirical and clinical attention.

Authors: Manjunath Darshan A. , Gurugunti Umeshchandra D. , Radhakrishna Veerabhadra 
Published: December 2017

Background: There have been a plenty of evolution in surgical techniques of hernia repair. The current standard technique is tension-free repair. The different studies show different results with the use of laparoscopy in performing tension-free hernia repair. Hence a study was conducted to compare the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair with open Lichtenstein repair regarding operative complications, pain, analgesic usage, and time to return to normal activities.Methods: A randomized control trial was conducted in the Department of General Surgery in a tertiary center from December 2010 to May 2012. All patients underwent either open Lichtenstein repair or laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP). Both the procedures included a recording of operative time, operative complications, pain, analgesic usage, hospital stay, surgical site infection (SSI), and time to return to normal activities. Mann Whitney U test, student ‘t’ test and Fisher’s exact test were used to study the significance of the difference. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant.Results: The open Lichtenstein procedure was found to have a significantly less operative time compared to TAPP procedure (54±15 minutes vs. 75.7±31.6 minutes; p=0.001; CI=95%; Mann Whitney ‘U’ test). TAPP group had a significantly low pain at 12hrs and 24hrs postoperatively. There was no difference between the TAPP group and Lichtenstein group regarding the mean hospital stay (37.2±12.1 hours vs. 38.2±13.6 hours; p=0.7; CI=95%; Mann Whitney ‘U’ test). The mean time to return to work was 12.1±11.8 days in TAPP group, which was significantly lesser than the Lichtenstein group (20.9±4 days; p= 0.04; CI=95%; student ‘t’ test). No recurrence was found.Conclusions: Laparoscopic TAPP was a safe and effective procedure for inguinal hernia repair, and it can replace open procedure.

Authors: Kumar Praveen , Kumar Nilkamal 
Published: December 2017

Background: Peptic ulcer perforation is a common surgical emergency. The perforation usually involves the anterior wall of duodenum (60%), although, it might occur in antrum (20%) and lesser curvature of stomach (20%). Conventional open surgery involving repair with omental patch remains the gold standard treatment. This study evaluates the patterns and demographic factors associated with this common surgical disease and the outcome analysis of surgery in our state.Methods: The study was undertaken for patients admitted in surgery department in a single unit who underwent open surgery for perforated peptic ulcer. A total of 78 patients were assessed between January 2016 to January 2017.Results: The study found PPU to be a male dominated disease in fifth decade and with significant association with smoking and alcohol consumption. First part of duodenum being the commonest location of PPU, the peritoneal contamination was directly associated with the duration of symptoms. Wound infection was the most frequent post-operative complication. Simple repair with omental patch remains an effective treatment modality.Conclusions: Perforated peptic ulcer disease commonly affects middle aged males especially due to association with alcohol intake. Simple closure with omental patch followed by H. pylori eradication is an effective treatment modality.

O ensaio busca fazer uma leitura da Extensão Rural a partir do referencial teórico de Habermas. Baseado em sua teoria da modernidade aponta-se que as condições que permitiram o difusionismo foram alteradas, dificultando apostas no retorno do mesmo. Já a sua teoria da ação comunicativa, ao permitir compreender melhor a ação extensionista, pode servir para ampliar a comunicação na Extensão Rural.

Published: December 2017

Com este artigo teve-se o propósito de verificar se a utilização dos métodos de governança corporativa adotados pelas empresas listadas na Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros de São Paulo (BM&FBovespa) diminui o risco nos ativos. Utilizando cotações do período de 01 de junho de 2012 a 04 de julho de 2016, este estudo se divide em três etapas: no primeiro momento, as cotações são otimizadas e analisadas quanto ao desempenho das três carteiras de variância mínima referentes aos diferentes níveis de governança corporativa: Nível 1 (N1), Nível 2 (N2) e Novo Mercado (NM). Na segunda etapa é estimado por MQO o modelo de precificação de ativos de Sharpe-Lintner-Black, o Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Na terceira etapa são comparados os desempenhos de carteiras representativas para as ações classificadas em diferentes níveis de governança com índices de governança propostos pela BM&FBovespa. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, foi observado que os ativos que possuem maior nível de transparência tendem a apresentar menores níveis de variância ou risco.Palavras-chave: Governança corporativa. Mercado financeiro. Risco financeiro. Abstract The purpose of this article was to verify if the use of the corporate governance methods adopted by the BM&FBovespa listed companies reduces the risk in the assets. Using prices from June 1, 2012 to July 4, 2016, this study is divided into three stages: at the first moment, the three minimum variance portfolios referring to the different corporate governance levels are optimized and analyzed: 1 (N1), Level 2 (N2) and Novo Mercado (NM). In the second stage, the asset pricing model of Sharpe-Lintner-Black, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), is estimated by MQO. In the third step, the performance of representative portfolios is compared to the shares rated at different levels of governance with governance indexes proposed by BM & FBovespa.

Rotational Acetabular Osteotomy
Authors: Yasunaga Yuji , Ochi Mitsuo , Yamasaki Takuma , Adachi Nobuo 
Published: December 2017

Background:
Hip dysplasia is a common cause of secondary osteoarthritis. To prevent the early onset of secondary osteoarthritis, rotational acetabular osteotomy has been proposed
1
.

Description:
The approach combines the anterior iliofemoral and posterior approaches through a single skin incision. The pubic bone is cut independently, and the ilium and ischium are cut in continuity. The rotation of the acetabulum provides a more horizontal weight-bearing area and, at the same time, returns the superiorly subluxated femoral head to a more normal position.

Alternatives:
The Ganz periacetabular osteotomy involves the same concept as a rotational acetabular osteotomy with a different surgical approach. The rate of major complications, such as intra-articular osteotomy, nerve palsy, loss of fixation, malreduction, and symptomatic heterotopic ossification, is lower in rotational acetabular osteotomy (0% to 18%)
2
than in periacetabular osteotomy (6% to 37%)
3
. Because of a wide surgical exposure, osteotomy can be performed under direct vision in rotational acetabular osteotomy.

Rationale:
Rotational acetabular osteotomy for osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia can alter the position of the acetabulum en bloc and cover the femoral head with cartilage. For the unstable hip with dysplasia, the surgical procedure is needed for the prevention of osteoarthritis.
DEFINITIONS AND PRACTICES OF RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PORTUGUESE STATE: WAYS OF INSTRUMENTALIZATION BY THE MAJORITY
Authors: Pinto Paulo Mendes 
Published: December 2017

Over the last quarter of the 20th century, the newborn democratic regime of Portugal sought not to antagonize the Catholic hierarchy. Aware of the clerical weakened position (after the April Revolution in 1974), the left-wing political forces that gained power after 1974, subtracted little from the church's institutions's public domain.Far from withdrawing those acquired rights, it was given a place to a system where minorities were given the opportunity to rise to the same level of respect that the state granted to the dominant religion. For example, through airtime on radio and public television and confessional space of schools. Because of the value and the respect that are gained, minorities adhered and still adhere to these models defending it as the most perfect realization - as the redaction of the Religious Freedom Act of 2001 reflects perfectly. Today, we have minorities supporting the status quo, defending the place and position of the Catholic church for fear of losing their rights by, in practice, decreasing the power of the majority.

A docência em química: um estudo das concepções dos professores da rede pública de Formiga-MG
Authors: Borges Adriely Arantes , Silva Camila De Melo 
Published: December 2017

Atualmente há como pressuposto para que ocorra a construção do aprendizado escolar deve­se estabelecer relações e interações entre o sujeito e o objeto de conhecimento. Um dos grandes desafios atuais do ensino de Química, nas escolas de nível médio, é estabelecer uma relação entre o que se ensina e o cotidiano dos alunos, uma vez que os conceitos que eles trazem para a sala de aula advêm principalmente da leitura e vivência de mundo. Há fatores que podem interferir no ensino e que são encontrados como a má formação docente, a má infra­estrutura das escolas, falta de interesse e indisciplina dos alunos. Assim, o presente trabalho objetivou a realização de um estudo de campo sobre os conhecimentos e opiniões dos docentes acerca do ensino de química nas escolas. A coleta de dados foi constituída por meio de entrevistas semi­ estruturadas, que foram aplicadas a professores do ensino médio de escolas públicas do município de Formiga ­ MG. Percebe­se que os docentes têm a percepção que a maioria dos problemas estão nos alunos, por serem desinteressados e indisciplinados, porém, o centro do problema não é só esse, muitas vezes o professorado apresenta às vezes da má formação, falta de apoio e baixa infra­estrutura da escola.
