General Equilibrium Model for an Asymmetric Information Economy Without Delivery Upper Bounds
Authors: Urai Ken , Yoshimachi Akihiko , Shiozawa Kohei 
Published: December 2017

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce production into the standard general equilibrium model with asymmetric information, which was proposed by Dubey et al. (Cowles Foundation Discussion Paper 2000; Econometrica 2005). In such an economy, there is no rational explanation for producers’ delivery upper bounds while the endowments naturally limit consumers’ deliveries. However, we show that the typical equilibrium allocation of the asymmetric information economy necessarily and substantially depends on such exogenous upper bounds (Example 1 and Theorem 1). In other words, an equilibrium existence theorem without such upper bounds, even if such exists, will typically fail to treat the asymmetric information problem, e.g., the adverse selection problem. Hence, to treat the equilibrium existence problem under the informational asymmetry appropriately, we have to extend the standard model so that the delivery upper bounds need not to be specified explicitly. For this purpose, we propose a quite natural and realistic assumption with respect to the technological condition related to the market delivery, i.e., the existence of some small standardization, commoditization, and/or transaction costs of market deliveries is shown to be sufficient (Theorem 3).

Abstract
The formation of ultralight, highly porous solid materials (porosity higher than 99%) containing equivalent molar amounts of chitosan (CS) and chondroitin sulfate (ChS) is presented. First, we show protocols to produce colloidal suspensions of assembled polymer nanocomplexes by simultaneously mixing equimolar amounts of the oppositely charged polysaccharides, preventing macroprecipitation. The colloidal suspensions were then freeze-dried to form the active aerogels. Apparent density in the order of 100–101 mg/cm3 was achieved. The materials show low stiffness (Young’s modulus of about 2 kPa), which make them easy to handle for clinical applications, and easy to compress, pack, store and transport. These characteristics promote them as cheap, safe and biodegradable materials able to be used for several therapeutic purposes, such as wound healing.
L’écospiritualité est-elle une corrélation?
Authors: Lobo Marcela 
Published: December 2017

AbstractIn this article, we want to examine how the method of correlation of Paul Tillich is implemented in the present-day concept of ecospirituality as worked by Michel-Maxime Egger. According to us, more than an attitude, Egger’s ecospirituality can be understood as a real method, in theology, to “answer" the question of the ecological crisis, by avoiding partial and dualist answers and to come to a spiritual theology of nature.
Correlating the Question of Polarization with the Symbol of Transfiguration
Authors: Stenger Mary Ann 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThis article uses Tillich’s method of correlation to analyze the missing center and polarization in American religion and culture and to propose the symbol of transfiguration/transfiguring as a theological response. In partial agreement with Tillich’s and Mark C. Taylor’s theologies, this analysis focuses on the quest for meaning beyond polar opposites. The second part correlates this quest with the symbol of transfiguration as an image of transcendence in the midst of the finite world. The symbol of transfiguring will be compared to Eastern Orthodox deification, Taylor’s figuring, disfiguring, and refiguring, and Tillich’s New Being and Spiritual Presence, focusing on both religious experience and transfiguring actions.
Transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumours: frequency and predictors of delayed hyponatraemia and their relationship to early readmission
Authors: Krogh Jesper , Kistorp Caroline N , Jafar-Mohammadi Bahram , Pal Aparna , Cudlip Simon , Grossman Ashley 
Published: December 2017

Objective
A major cause of readmission after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is delayed hyponatraemia. The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of hyponatraemia one week post surgery and predictors of 30-day readmissions for hyponatraemia.

Design
A retrospective cohort study including patients who had TSS performed for pituitary lesions.

Method
The risk of readmission for hyponatraemia was assessed in consecutive patients between January 2008 and March 2016. The risk of hyponatraemia one week post surgery was assessed in patients admitted for TSS between July 2011 and March 2016.

Results
Of all included patients, 56/522 (10.7%) were readmitted within 30 days. Hyponatraemia was found in 14/56 (25%) of 30-day readmissions. We did not identify any predictive variable for hyponatraemia on readmission. The number of patients with hyponatraemia on the seventh post-operative day was 26/314 (8.3%). The risk of hyponatraemia one week post surgery was increased by an odds ratio of 2.40 (95% CI: 1.06–5.40) in patients with a tumour abutting the optic chiasm and by an odds ratio of 1.16 (1.04–1.31) per mmol/L decrease in sodium levels on the first post-operative day.

Conclusions
Hyponatraemia occurred in 25% of readmissions; however, we did not identify any predictive variable for readmission with hyponatraemia. One week post surgery, 8.9% had hyponatraemia. Tumours pressing on the optic chiasm as well as a fall in sodium levels on the first post-operative day were associated with an increased risk of hyponatraemia one week post surgery. We suggest that a day 7 serum sodium <130 nmol/L should lead to concern and the provision of patient advice.
Ansiedade e sua relação com a qualidade de vida em idosos: revisão narrativa
Authors: Vicentini de Oliveira Daniel , Antunes Mateus Dias , Oliveira Julimar 
Published: December 2017

Objetivo: identificar a relação entre ansiedade e qualidade de vida dos idosos. Método: foi realizada uma revisão narrativa, de artigos publicados entre 2012 a 2016, em periódicos nacionais e internacionais indexados nas bases de dados Scielo, Lilacs e Medline. Os descritores utilizados foram: ansiedade, qualidade de vida e idosos no idioma português, espanhol e inglês. Buscaram-se artigos que estavam disponíveis na íntegra e que apresentavam as palavras chaves qualidade de vida, ansiedade e idoso. Resultados: a ansiedade é definida como um sentimento desagradável, difuso e
vago; pode afetar os idosos na sua percepção de qualidade de vida. Estudos demonstram que há uma relação inversamente proporcional entre a qualidade de vida, com os níveis de ansiedade, ou seja, há um impacto negativo dos transtornos de ansiedade sobre a qualidade de vida. Considerações finais: as manifestações psicológicas inadequadas em termos de intensidade, frequência ou duração, como a ansiedade, podem trazer desconfortos no bem-estar e consequentemente interferir na qualidade de vida, primordialmente pela restrição de sua vida social.

Movimientos indígenas y redes de movilización: el caso de la Usina Hidroeléctrica de Belo Monte en Brasil/ Indigenous movements and mobilization networks: the case of Belo Monte Hydropower Plant in Brazil
Authors: Fonseca Lucas Milhomens , Gohn Maria da Glória 
Published: December 2017

El presente trabajo es resultado parcial de investigación de doctorado desarrollada en el Programa de Postgrado en Educación de la Universidad Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) y en un ámbito mayor tiene como objetivo central analizar los movimientos sociales de la Amazonia brasileña en el contexto de grandes proyectos infraestructurales. En el caso específico de este artículo nos proponemos comprender cómo los movimientos indígenas de esta región se organizan a través de lo que estamos llamando "redes de movilización". A lo largo del texto nos preguntamos cómo estos grupos ampliaron sus procesos de resistencia contra los grandes proyectos planeados para la Amazonia, en especial la construcción de centrales hidroeléctricas. También analizamos cómo estas organizaciones utilizan nuevas herramientas de comunicación como Internet y sus recursos mediático-digitales. El locus de nuestro estudio es la Usina Hidroeléctrica de Belo Monte, ubicada entre las ciudades de Vitória do Xingu y Altamira, ambas en el Estado de Pará (Brasil), donde está ubicada la mayor obra desarrollada por el Gobierno Federal brasileño en la última década y que viene generando enormes impactos socioambientales y conflictos sociales.

Abstract
This study is a partial result of doctoral research developed at the Post-Graduate Studies Program in Education at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) and in a broader scope has the main goal of analyzing social movements of the Brazilian Amazon region in the context of large infrastructure projects. In this article’s case we propose to understand how indigenous movements of this region organize through what we call “mobilization networks”. Throughout the text we problematize how these groups have widened their resistance processes against the large projects planned for the Amazon, especially the construction of hydropower plants. We also analyzed how these organizations utilized new communication tools such as the Internet and its media-digital resources. The locus of our study is the Belo Monte Hydropower Plant, located between the cities of Vitória do Xingú and Altamira, both in the state of Pará, where the biggest construction work developed by the Brazilian federal government in the last decade is located and which has been generating major environmental impact and social conflict.
Demografía y transformación territorial: medio siglo de cambio en la región amazónica de Ecuador/ Demography and territorial transformation: half a century of change in the Amazonian Region of Ecuador

Published: December 2017

Una población numerosa puede favorecer el crecimiento económico (un bebé puede ser un futuro aportador de impuestos), generar oportunidades para la innovación tecnológica (un bebé puede ser un futuro genio e innovador) y dinamizar la economía (más consumidores y más costos compartidos). Pero esto solo puede ser posible si el tejido social y económico de una sociedad es el propicio. ¿Será el crecimiento poblacional amazónico en Ecuador lo suficientemente elevado para garantizar más pobreza y conflicto social a corto y largo plazo, o será un factor de desarrollo? La región amazónica posee la tasa más alta de natalidad en Ecuador. En 60 años, la población se ha multiplicado 16 veces. La ausencia de servicios básicos y educación promueve tasas de natalidad elevadas, especialmente en los indígenas. Existe evidencia de que el crecimiento poblacional (natalidad y migración) promueve la deforestación en la región amazónica. El presente ensayo es una síntesis del cambio demográfico y sus efectos sobre la deforestación, frontera agrícola, urbanización y las estrategias indígenas frente al cambio. Una población en rápido crecimiento puede contribuir a la economía y estabilidad social, solamente si se cumplen las condiciones necesarias de educación y oportunidades laborales. Estas últimas características particularmente ausentes de forma histórica para la región amazónica de Ecuador.

Abstract
A large population can promote economic growth (a baby could be a future tax payer), can generate new opportunities for technological innovation (a baby can be a future genius and innovator), and can contribute to a dynamic economy (more consumers and more shared costs). However, this is possible only if the social and economic conditions of a society are the necessarily required. Would the population growth in Amazonian Ecuador be sufficiently large as to guarantee more poverty and social conflict in the short and long term, or will it be a factor for development?. The Amazonian region has the highest birth rate in Ecuador. The population has grown 16 times over the last 60 years. The absence of basic services and education promotes high birth rates, especially on indigenous people. There is evidence that population growth (births and migration) promotes deforestation in the Amazonian region. The present essay is a synthesis of demographic change and its effects on deforestation, the agricultural frontier, urbanization and the indigenous strategies to confront this change. A population under rapid growth can contribute to the economy and social stability, only if the necessary conditions for education and available employment are met. These last characteristics have been particularly absent in the history of Amazonian Ecuador.
Negative pressure wound therapy versus healing by secondary intention in pressure ulcers

Published: December 2017

Pressure ulcers are a highly prevalent source of morbidity with an equally high incidence of up to 38.0\% amongst different categories of healthcare institutions. Therefore, the management and therapeutic approach toward these often hospital- or facility-acquired problems remain critical aspects of long-term care. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has proven effective in addressing the barriers to pressure ulcer healing including increasing blood flow to previously ischemic wound areas by generating subatmospheric pressure which vacuums in circulation. The objective of this study was to compare negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) versus surgical wounds healing by secondary intention (SWHSI). A systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed and Scopus search engine up until the 20 Th January 2017 including the terms: “negative pressure wound therapy” and “pressure ulcers”. In this systematic review, six randomized controlled trials were included. NPWT is deemed appropriate and effective method and widely used by clinicians to promote the healing of wounds and ulcers of different etiology. The heterogeneity found in individual trials regarding the inclusion criteria, therapeutic procedures, the criteria and methods of outcome evaluation, however, did not allow for a data evaluation with statistically valid conclusions. It is reasonable to assume that their subset of patients with pressure ulcers that can be effectively treated with NPWT, with optimal results and good cost-benefit ratio, also with respect to the quality of life.

Published: December 2017

Com a crescente demanda para sistemas de energia eficientes e ambientalmente amigáveis, a conversão direta de combustíveis gasosos em eletricidade por células combustíveis recebeu tremenda atenção nas últimas décadas. Sendo assim, o estudo da síntese e sinterização do cerato de bário, um dos materiais mais promissores entre as células combustíveis, é de suma importância para aperfeiçoá-lo ao se obter novos pós e microestruturas diferenciadas, tornando essas células economicamente viáveis. A síntese pelo método de precursores poliméricos foi utilizada para o estudo da influência da dopagem do BaCeO3 com Y3+ como substituição parcial ao íon Ce4+. Os pós sintetizados foram caracterizados por análise térmica diferencial, difratometria de raios X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura, e por BET. Os resultados mostraram que foi possível obter BaCeO3 dopadas com Y3+ , que o método de síntese favoreceu na formação da fase a 900 °C/2h e que o efeito da dopagem com o Y3+ no cerato de bário (BaCeO3) favoreceu na redução do tamanho médio das partículas de 182 nm (sem dopante) para 94 nm (com o 20% Y3+ ).
Gestão de níveis de serviços: um instrumento para aprimorar as contratações da administração pública estadual e municipal
Authors: Schmitt Paulo Silvestre , Bier Clerilei Aparecida 
Published: December 2017

A fiscalização de contratos administrativos, apesar da sua importância nas contratações públicas, é uma atividade que o Estado frequentemente tem dificuldades em operacionalizar e garantir aderência à legislação. Neste estudo avaliou-se qualitativamente se a introdução de acordos de níveis de serviços nos contratos administrativos e o estabelecimento da gestão de níveis de serviços (GNS) nas instituições públicas estaduais e municipais minimizariam não conformidades em suas contratações. Para tanto, os pesquisadores realizaram uma revisão sistemática na teoria da GNS e a confrontaram com os achados de uma análise de conteúdo aplicada em jurisprudências e relatórios de auditorias feitos pelo TCE/SC no período de 2006 a 2014, alicerçada por sete categorias de análise inspiradas na Lei de Licitações (Lei n. 8.666/1993). Ficou demonstrado que, para as não conformidades enquadradas nas categorias de análise, há respostas na GNS com potenciais para aprimorar as contratações públicas, desde que a sua adoção considere as particularidades da administração pública brasileira.Palavras-chave: Acordo de nível de serviço. SLA. SLM. Administração pública. Contratos administrativos. Abstract The supervision of public contracts, despite its importance in public procurement, is an activity that the state often has difficulties in operationalizing and ensuring adherence to the legislation. This study examined qualitatively whether the introduction of service level agreements in public contracts and the establishment of service level management (SLM) in state and municipal institutions would minimize nonconformities in their hiring. Therefore, the researchers underwent a systematic review of the theory of SLM and then confronted it with the findings of the content analysis applied in court decisions and audit reports performed by the Santa Catarina State Audit Court from 2006 to 2014, supported by seven categories of analysis inspired by the Brazilian Bidding Law (n. 8.666/1993). It demonstrated that, for the non-conformities classified in the categories of analysis, compelling answers exist in SLM with potential to improve public administration contracting, as long as its adoption consider the particulars of the Brazilian public administration.Keywords: Service level agreement.
