Pachamama y desarrollo: paisajes conflictivos en el Desierto de Atacama
Authors: Barros Alonso 
Published: July 2017

las comunidades atacameñas, este trabajo analiza las disputas que con frecuencia las oponen con el Estado chileno y los efectos de sus políticas económicas. Esas disputas, principalmente expresadas en términosde posiciones contrapuestas respecto de quién debiera tener control sobrelos recursos locales: agua, tierra, subsuelo, paisajes, revelan las divergencias conceptuales y epistemológicas que subyacen a dichos conflictos. Al describir y desconstruir el discurso desarrollista del Estado respecto del territorio en disputa, por un lado, y analizar los modos atacameños de habitar su territorio y poblar su paisaje, por el otro, se hace cada vez más evidente que la Pachamama y el discurso y prácticas del desarrollo chileno están basados en nociones diferentes respecto de la subjetividad, del espacio/tiempo, de la ecología y de cuáles son las relaciones significativas entre ellas. A modo de conclusión, el artículo muestra como estas diferentes perspectivas y epistemologías son proyectadas a nivel administrativo y legal, tanto localmente como a nivel nacional, así como algunas de las estrategias indígenas para contrarrestadas. ABSTRACTDrawing from experience gathered working with Atacameño communities in the Atacama desert, Chile, this paper analyses the clashes that often oppose them to the Chilean State and the effects of its economic policies. These clashes, mainly expressed in terms of exclusive land claims, reveal the different underlying meanings ?land’ as for both the State and the Atacameños. By describing and deconstructing the development discourse the State deploys about the disputed territory, on one side, and analyzing atacameño modes of dwelling the land and populating the landscape, on the order, it becomes increasingly clear how the andean Pachamama (short for Cosmos, land, earth) and Development discourse are based on differing notions of subjectivity, space/time, ecology and meaningful relationships between them. By way of conclusion, the paper shows how these differing views and epistemologies are played out at the administrative and legal fields, both locally and at a national level.

Published: July 2017

Background: Hypertension is an important risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cerebral small vessel disease. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are common anti-hypertensive treatments, but have differential effects on cortical amyloid. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate associations between anti-hypertensive treatment, brain volume, and cognition, using a propensity-weighted analysis to account for confounding by indication. Methods: We identified a cohort of normal elderly adults and individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or AD (N = 886; mean age = 75.0) from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. Primary outcomes were brain parenchymal fraction, total hippocampal volume, and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume. Secondary outcomes were standardized scores on neuropsychological tests. Propensity-weighted adjusted multivariate linear regression was used to estimate associations between anti-hypertensive treatment class and MRI volumes and cognition. Results: Individuals treated with ARBs showed larger hippocampal volumes (R2 = 0.83, p = 0.05) and brain parenchymal fraction (R2 = 0.83, p = 0.01) than those treated with ACEIs. When stratified by diagnosis, this effect remained only in normal elderly adults and MCI patients, and a significant association between ARBs and lower WMH volume (R2 = 0.83, p = 0.03) emerged for AD patients only. ARBs were also associated with significantly better performance on tests of episodic and verbal memory, language, and executive function (all p < 0.05). Conclusions: Findings are consistent with evidence for a neuroprotective effect of treatment with ARBs for brain structure and cognition. This study has potential implications for the treatment of hypertension, particularly in elderly adults at risk of cognitive decline and AD.
Effect of APOE Genotype on Synaptic Proteins in Earlier Adult Life
Authors: Sinclair Lindsey I. , Love Seth 
Published: July 2017

Background: Possession of APOE ɛ4 is a strong risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease and is associated with loss of synaptic proteins in the elderly even in the absence of Alzheimer’s disease. Objective: We hypothesized that ɛ4 allele possession in non-demented adults aged under-75 would also be associated with alterations in the levels of synaptic proteins. Methods: We measured synaptophysin, PSD95, drebrin, SNAP-25, and septin 7 by ELISA in hippocampus and superior temporal gyrus from 103 adults aged <75 without dementia. Corresponding gene expression was measured by RT-PCR. Results: There was no evidence that ɛ4 affected levels of the proteins measured. Instead we found an increase in post-synaptic proteins in the hippocampi of those with an ɛ32 genotype. The evidence was strongest for drebrin ( p = 0.011). There was some evidence of increased synaptic protein gene expression in ɛ4 carriers. Conclusions: People with an APOE ɛ32 genotype have a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It may be relevant that they have a higher level of post-synaptic proteins in the hippocampus even in earlier adulthood.
Long-term benzodiazepine and Z-drugs use in England: a survey of general practice
Authors: Davies James , Rae Todd C , Montagu Luke 
Published: July 2017

BackgroundCurrent British National Formulary (BNF) guidelines state that benzodiazepines and zolpidem, zopiclone, and zaleplon, commonly known as Z-drugs (BZD), be prescribed for no more than 4 weeks, although anecdotal data suggest that many patients are prescribed BZDs for much longer. As there are no recent, evidence-based estimates of long-term (>12 months) BZD use in England, the scale of this potential problem is unknown.AimTo produce the first reliable, evidence-based estimate of long-term BZD use in England.Design and settingEstimates of long-term BZD use in England were projected from data obtained from a survey conducted in 2014–2015 by the Bridge Project, a prescribed-drug withdrawal support charity in the North of England (Bradford).MethodPercentages of long-term users of BZD were derived from the survey, by sampling primary care GP surgeries with around 100 000 registered patients, and these were applied to English NHS patient numbers. The data were filtered to exclude the very young and old, and those with other health issues.ResultsThe mean percentage of registered patients prescribed BZDs for more than a year in the survey sample is 0.69% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.54 to 0.84). Applying this value to national patient numbers yields a mean projection of 296 929 (95% CI = 232 553 to 361 305) long-term users of BZD in England. The data also suggest that as many as 119 165 of these patients may be willing to accept prescribed drug dependency withdrawal services.ConclusionMore than a quarter of a million people in England are likely to be taking highly dependency-forming hypnotic medication far beyond the recommended time scales. As there is evidence that long-term use of BZDs causes adverse physiological and neurological effects, and protracted withdrawal (with associated complications), this represents a serious public health problem.
Impact of GP reminders on follow-up of abnormal cervical cytology: a before–after study in Danish general practice
Authors: Kristiansen Bettina Kjær , Andersen Berit , Bro Flemming , Svanholm Hans , Vedsted Peter 
Published: July 2017

BackgroundDysplasia may progress because of a loss to follow-up after an abnormal cervical cytology. Approximately 18% of Danish women postpone the recommended follow-up, which depends on the cytology results.AimTo investigate if a reminder to the GP about missed follow-up could reduce the proportion of women who fail to act on a recommended follow-up, and to analyse the effect on sociodemographic and general practice variations.Design and settingA national electronic GP reminder system was launched in Denmark in 2012 to target missed follow-up after screening, opportunistic testing, or surveillance indication. The authors compared follow-up proportions in a national observational before–after study.MethodFrom national registries, 1.5 million cervical cytologies (from 2009 to 2013) were eligible for inclusion. Approximately 10% had a recommendation for follow-up. The proportion of cervical cytologies without follow-up was calculated at different time points. Results were stratified by follow-up recommendations and sociodemographic characteristics, and changes in practice variation for follow-up were analysed.ResultsFewer women with a recommendation for follow-up missed follow-up 6 months after a GP reminder. Follow-up improved in all investigated sociodemographic groups (age, ethnicity, education, and cohabitation status). Interaction was found for age and cohabitation status. Variation between practices in loss to follow-up was significantly reduced.ConclusionAn electronic GP reminder system showed potential to improve the quality of cervical cancer screening through reduced loss to follow-up.
Improved Constraints on the Disk around MWC 349A from the 23 m LBTI

Published: July 2017

Abstract
We present new spatially resolved observations of MWC 349A from the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI), a 23 m baseline interferometer made up of two, co-mounted 8 m telescopes. MWC 349A is a B[e] star with an unknown evolutionary state. Proposed scenarios range from a young stellar object, to a B[e] supergiant, to a tight binary system. Radio continuum and recombination line observations of this source revealed a sub-arcsecond bipolar outflow surrounding an ∼100 mas circumstellar disk. Follow-up infrared studies detected the disk, and suggested that it may have skew and an inner clearing. Our new infrared interferometric observations, which have more than twice the resolution of previously published data sets, support the presence of both skew and a compact infrared excess. They rule out inner clearings with radii greater than ∼14 mas. We show the improvements in disk parameter constraints provided by LBTI, and discuss the inferred disk parameters in the context of the posited evolutionary states for MWC 349A.
Nuclear Weak Rates and Detailed Balance in Stellar Conditions
Authors: Misch G. Wendell 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Detailed balance is often invoked in discussions of nuclear weak transitions in astrophysical environments. Satisfaction of detailed balance is rightly touted as a virtue of some methods of computing nuclear transition strengths, but I argue that it need not necessarily be strictly obeyed in astrophysical environments, especially when the environment is far from weak equilibrium. I present the results of shell model calculations of nuclear weak strengths in both charged-current and neutral-current channels at astrophysical temperatures, finding some violation of detailed balance. I show that a slight modification of the technique to strictly obey detailed balance has little effect on the reaction rates associated with these strengths under most conditions, though at high temperature the modified technique in fact misses some important strength. I comment on the relationship between detailed balance and weak equilibrium in astrophysical conditions.

Abstract
We report the discovery of RAVE J203843.2−002333, a bright (V = 12.73), very metal-poor (

= −2.91), r-process-enhanced (

= +1.64 and

= −0.81) star selected from the RAVE survey. This star was identified as a metal-poor candidate based on its medium-resolution (R ∼ 1600) spectrum obtained with the KPNO/Mayall Telescope, and followed up with high-resolution (R ∼ 66,000) spectroscopy with the Magellan/Clay Telescope, allowing for the determination of elemental abundances for 24 neutron-capture elements, including thorium and uranium. RAVE J2038−0023 is only the fourth metal-poor star with a clearly measured U abundance. The derived chemical abundance pattern exhibits good agreement with those of other known highly r-process-enhanced stars, and evidence suggests that it is not an actinide-boost star. Age estimates were calculated using U/X abundance ratios, yielding a mean age of 13.0 ± 1.1 Gyr.
Dependence of the Peak Fluxes of Solar Energetic Particles on CME 3D Parameters from STEREO and SOHO
Authors: Park Jinhye , Moon Y.-J. , Lee Harim 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
We investigate the relationships between the peak fluxes of 18 solar energetic particle (SEP) events and associated coronal mass ejection (CME) 3D parameters (speed, angular width, and separation angle) obtained from SOHO, and STEREO-A/B for the period from 2010 August to 2013 June. We apply the STEREO CME Analysis Tool (StereoCAT) to the SEP-associated CMEs to obtain 3D speeds and 3D angular widths. The separation angles are determined as the longitudinal angles between flaring regions and magnetic footpoints of the spacecraft, which are calculated by the assumption of a Parker spiral field. The main results are as follows. (1) We find that the dependence of the SEP peak fluxes on CME 3D speed from multiple spacecraft is similar to that on CME 2D speed. (2) There is a positive correlation between SEP peak flux and 3D angular width from multiple spacecraft, which is much more evident than the relationship between SEP peak flux and 2D angular width. (3) There is a noticeable anti-correlation (r = −0.62) between SEP peak flux and separation angle. (4) The multiple-regression method between SEP peak fluxes and CME 3D parameters shows that the longitudinal separation angle is the most important parameter, and the CME 3D speed is secondary on SEP peak flux.

This study aimed to report the long-term monitoring of diversity and structure of the tree community in a protected semideciduous Atlantic Forest in the South of Minas Gerais State, Southeast Brazil. The study was conducted in two stands (B and C), each with 26 and 38 10 m x 30 m plots. Censuses of stand B were conducted in 2000, 2005 and 2011, and stand C in 2001, 2006 and 2011. In both stands, the most abundant and important species for biomass accumulation over the inventories were trees larger than 20 cm of diameter, which characterize advanced successional stage within the forest.
The two surveyed stands within the studied forest presented differences in structure, diversity and species richness over the time.
Des effets de la complaisance du hasard… dans le virtuel
Authors: Willo Toke Geoffroy 
Published: July 2017

Le présent article se soutiendra de montrer quelle est la logique du « virtuel » et comment celui-ci exerce depuis des siècles des effets de dépendance et de fascination sur l’homme. Cette logique du virtuel repose sur un rapport d’attente à « l’instant d’après » que nous avons nommé « surgissement ». Ce phénomène de surgissement permet d’avancer qu’il n’y a pas de rupture entre le virtuel et l’histoire qui l’a produit. Cependant, il existe des conditions d’émergence d’un questionnement psychanalytique du virtuel : en effet, la multiplication de ces surgissements et la possibilité de manipuler ceux-ci conduisent nos contemporains à exercer une « maîtrise sur le hasard », lequel est appelé à devenir de plus en plus complaisant avec le déterminisme psychique inconscient, selon la formule freudienne. Il en résulte, sur le plan clinique, que toute médiation thérapeutique numérique ne peut s’envisager, selon une certaine méthodologie, qu’à partir de l’exploitation de ces surgissements. Nous exposerons comment cette méthodologie apporte le bénéfice inestimable d’introduire du « play dans le game » dans le rapport à des jeux vidéo qui, autrement, se constituent pour la plupart comme des supports de subjectivité extrêmement faibles.
Fasting during the month of ramadan for people with diabetes: Medicine and fiqh united at last
Authors: Beshyah S 
Published: July 2017

AbstractFasting during the lunar month of Ramadan is a religious obligation for all adult Moslems. Under certain circumstances, a few groups are exempt from fasting such as being “sick” as judged by an experienced doctor. Recent collaboration between the International Islamic Fiqh Academy and The Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences produced a comprehensive guidance based on extensive review of the evidence of possible risk to diabetic patients if they observe fasting. The new guidance categorized people with diabetes into 4 groups according to their risk. Group 1 and 2 are exempted from fasting as they have risk from fasting. These included patients with poor glycemic control or with complications and serious coexisting illnesses in addition to type 1 patients and pregnant women with diabetes. Patients in groups 3 and 4 are those with moderate to low risk of harm from fasting. These are exemplified by uncomplicated patients with stable control on oral drugs not associated with excess risk of hypoglycemia. These groups of patients have no harm but may even benefit from fasting. Doctors and religious scholars have a joint responsibility to properly assess and advise patients to choose to fast or not to fast in line with these recommendations.
