Clássicos da literatura brasileira no formato de livroclip: (re)leitura e interatividade
Authors: Érica Costa da Silva Suelen 
Published: February 2016

RESUMO: O objetivo desta comunicação é discutir como a produção de livroclip, interface interativa proveniente da computação gráfica, pode estimular o processo de (inter)ação dos aprendizes do Ensino Médio com obras clássicas da literatura brasileira, permitindo o ato de leitura e de (re)leitura como uma experiência de autonomia e liberdade leitora, que deveriam caracterizar o contato com toda e qualquer literatura, e como um processo interativo entre autor, texto e leitor, e também entre leitor e interface gráfica. Para tanto, serão utilizados os pressupostos teóricos defendidos por autores como Cosson, Barthes, Castro, Foucault, Genette, dentre outros. Acredita-se que, ao ler um clássico e (re)textualizá-lo para o formato de livroclip, o leitor irá (re)significar a obra, apresentá-la numa versão moderna, atualizada, construindo sentidos para o texto literário. A partir dos recursos oferecidos pela computação gráfica, são criadas possibilidades de o leitor ficcionalizar, ser um coprodutor, ativar sentidos, construir sentidos, interagir, experimentar o ato da leitura como (re)criação.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Livroclip. Clássicos da Literatura. Releitura. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this communication is to discuss how the production of livroclip, interactive interface from the computer graphics, can stimulate the process of (inter) action of high school learners with classic works of Brazilian literature, that is, allow the act of reading and (re) reading as an experience of autonomy and freedom reader featuring contact with any literature, an interactive process – author, text-reader – but also between player and graphic interface. Therefore, the theoretical assumptions defended by authors like Cosson (2007) will be used (2007), Barthes (1992), Castro (2008), Foucault (1996), Genette (1982), among others. It is believed that to read a classic and turn it to the livroclip format, the reader will reframe the work, make it a modern, updated version, building senses to the literary text. From the resources offered by computer graphics, possibilities are created for the reader fictionalizing, be a co-producer, turn directions, construct meaning, interact, experience the act of reading as recreation.KEYWORDS: Livroclip.

Authors: Meléndez Guadarrama Lucero 
Published: February 2016

El Arte y vocabulario del idioma huasteco es un manuscrito de principios del siglo XVIII que se creía perdido hasta hace muy poco y del que sólo teníamos menciones de su existencia en otros estudios sobre el huasteco. El manuscrito está fechado en 1711, y se sitúa cronológicamente entre las dos únicas obras coloniales que han sobrevivido hasta nuestros días, a saber, la Doctrina christiana en la lengua guasteca con la castellana de fray Juan de la Cruz (1571) y la Noticia de la Lengua Huasteca del bachiller Carlos de Tapia Zenteno (1767), lo cual la convierte en una obra muy valiosa entre los escasos registros escritos de este idioma.

Introduction: Primary central nervous system tumours represent the second most frequent neoplasm and are the leading cause of death from solid tumours in children. Our study aimed to provide the most up-to-date epidemiological analysis of primary central nervous system tumours in children living in the north of Portugal and to explore a possible effect of the centralisation of care on outcomes.Material and Methods: This population-based study included all newly diagnosed and histologically confirmed primary central nervous system tumours in people below 18 years old, living in the north of Portugal, from January 2008 to December 2013. Data were collected through access to clinical files. We described children and tumour characteristics, and analysed patient: paediatric neurosurgeon and histological tumour type: paediatric neurosurgeon ratios.Results: A total of 147 cases was recorded. Mean age at diagnosis of primary central nervous system tumours was 8.0 ± 5.2 years. Astrocytomas were the most common histological type (34%). We found that World Health Organization Tumour Grade was the only variable of statistically significant influence in mortality (p = 0.001). 1-, 3- and 5-year survivals related to 2008-2013 period were statistically higher than 2005 - 2007. Astrocytomas have the highest survival rate, with statistically significant difference from other tumours (p = 0.015). We estimated a mean of 12.25 treated cases per year by each paediatric neurosurgeon at our institution.Discussion: Our results are globally consistent with those published all over the world, but we reported the highest survival rates. The number of cases treated per year by each neurosurgeon is accordant to the recommended.Conclusion: We showed an improvement when comparing to data previous to 2008 and better results than those from previous studies, namely higher survival at 1-, 3- and 5-years from the diagnosis, with low complication and relapsing rates. Therefore, the referral of primary central nervous system tumours cases to centres with larger experience can be invaluable for the achievement of the best outcomes.
Are Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Caregivers at Higher Risk for Health Problems?
Authors: Pinho Ana Catarina , Gonçalves Edna 
Published: February 2016

Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rare neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Patients present with progressive physical impairment, respiratory failure being the main cause of death. A significant portion of patients presents neurobehavioral problems as well. As severe impairment occurs, patients become highly dependent and in general, their families assume the role of primary caregivers, exposing them to stress and other potential causes of disease like insomnia, physical strain from patients’ mobilization and changes on eating habits. The aim of this work is to understand if taking care of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis increases disease and health problems on caregivers.Material and Methods: Comprehensive review of the literature published on the electronic databases PubMed and Scopus between 2010 and 2014.Results: Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. We found that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis caregivers have higher levels of burden, depression and anxiety with lower quality of life. This is associated to age and gender of caregivers, time spent caring, patients’ disability and neurobehavioral changes. Higher sense of support and spirituality on family seem to promote wellbeing.Discussion: On our work, we were able to understand that several factors have influenced caregivers’ quality of life and affect their health. Besides, we could understand that the outcomes studied are related between themselves and, as seen in some of the studies, related to patients’ quality of life itself. Consequently, it has become essential to adopt a holistic approach of these patients and their families, fighting the deteriorating risk factors and investing on health promoters.Conclusion: Despite the large body of research on family caregiving for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients, little has changed and the outcomes measured remain almost the same before and after 2010. The work indicates that caregivers have lower levels of health than the general population. Still additional research is required, in order to better understand and characterized the changes on caregivers’ health. It is nevertheless clear that health care professionals cannot ignore these health changes and need an approach focused not only on patients but also on caregivers.
Analysis of the Cochrane Review: Incentives for Smoking Cessation. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2015;5:CD004307.
Authors: Vaz-Carneiro António , Costa João 
Published: February 2016

Material incentives for alteration or reinforcement of healthy behaviours have been widely used in several health systems. These incentives, which are used in various contexts such as workplaces, health facilities or community programs, have been successfully implemented in smoking cessation programs. This systematic review - a third updated version of two published previously - sought to determine if a given set of incentives increased abstinence rates in smokers of medium and high risk (pregnant women). The authors searched several databases until December 2014: the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group Specialised Register, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycINFO. Two trials published in 2105 were included. The main results were:- In mixed populations (medium risk) six months after the onset there is a greater probability of withdrawal in patients subject to incentives. Direct payments to smokers - through different forms - were particularly effective (North American studies);- In populations of pregnant women (high risk), incentives caused a higher abstinence rate either during pregnancy or in the long term (up to 24 weeks postpartum).The authors conclude that the incentives appear to be effective in increasing the rate of smoking cessation in medium-risk as well as high-risk populations (e.g. pregnant women).
Water-Content Effects on Dynamic Elastic Properties of Organic-Rich Shale

Summary
Acoustic-velocity measurements are an important nondestructive way to investigate dynamic rock-mechanical properties. Water content and bedding-plane-induced anisotropy are reported to significantly affect the acoustic velocities of siliciclastic sandstones and laminated carbonates. This relationship in organic-rich shales, however, is not well-understood and has yet to be investigated. The mechanical properties of organic-rich shales are affected by changes in water content, laminations, total organic content (TOC), and microstructures. In particular, kerogen density that accompanies changes in the composition of the TOC during maturity can significantly influence the acoustic responses within source rocks.
To understand how these variables influence acoustic responses in organic shales, two sets of cores from the Eagle Ford shale were investigated: one set cut parallel to bedding and the other perpendicular to bedding. Textures of the samples from each set were characterized by use of computed-tomography (CT) scanning. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used to measure the water content, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze the mineralogy. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was also used to characterize the microstucture. Acoustic-velocity measurements were then made on each set at various confining pressures with the ultrasonic pulse-transmission technique.
The results show that confining pressure, water content, and laminations have significant impact on both compressional-wave (P-wave) and shear-wave (S-wave) velocity. Both velocities increase as confining pressure increases. Velocities measured from cores cut parallel to bedding are, on average, 20% higher than those cut perpendicular to bedding. Increasing water content decreases both velocities. The impact of water content on shear velocity was found to be significant compared with the response with compressional velocity. As a result, the water content was found to lower both Young's modulus and shear modulus, which is opposite to the reported results in conventional reservoir lithology. In addition, both P- and S-wave velocities show a linear decrease as TOC increases, and they both decrease with increasing of clay content. The mechanisms that lead to water-content alteration of rock-mechanical properties might be a combined result of the clay/water interaction, the chemical reaction, and the capillary pressure changes.
Phosphate and Organic Amendments for Safe Production of Okra from Metal‐Contaminated Soils
Authors: Eissa Mamdouh A. 
Published: February 2016

There is little information available on the impact of superphosphate and compost on the uptake of metals by okra (Abelmoschus esculentusL. Moench). The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of superphosphate and compost in reducing metals uptake by okra to healthy acceptable levels. A field experiment in randomized complete block design (RCBD) was conducted to investigate the effect of superphosphate (SP) and compost (C) on the availability and uptake of heavy metals by okra cultivated on a metals contaminated soil. The application of SP or C significantly (P< 0.05) reduced the availability and uptake of Cu, Pb, and Cd by okra. The C+SP treatment reduced the concentrations of Zn, Pb, and Cd in the edible portion of okra by 14, 35, and 38%. The combined application of C and SP was more effective in reducing the Zn, Pb, and Cd concentrations compared to the sole application of each amendment. The edible portion of okra collected from the unfertilized contaminated soil or that which received only C or SP contained toxic levels of Pb and Cd, while the concentrations of the two metals were below the safe limits when the two amendments were applied together. The result of the current study clearly indicated that it is feasible to apply P fertilizer and compost together to alleviate root‐to‐shoot transfer of Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd in okra.Core IdeasThe study aims to find the optimum plants and fertilization management for contaminated soils.Compost and superphosphate reduced metals concentrations in okra fruit.Okra fruit was safe for human consumption only when the two amendments applied together.

Published: February 2016

Lacking cultivars with both high yield potential and tolerance to high temperature is the main constraint for planting japonica (Oryza sativa japonica) in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River. In this study, grain yield and quality of 11 elite japonica cultivars together with two indica(O. sativa indica) mega cultivars (YLY6 and HHZ) were studied in 2012 and 2013. The year 2012 was a cool year with an average temperature of 24.6°C, while 2013 was a hot year with an average temperature of 26.2°C. So genotypic differences in response to high temperature among the japonica cultivars were determined through analyzing the differences in grain yield and quality between the 2 yr. Compared with 2012, reduction in grain yield of 2013 ranged from 8.86 to 65.24% for japonica cultivars, and by –2.11 and 16.19% for YLY6 and HHZ, respectively. The reduction in grain yield resulted from decreases in grain‐filling percentage and growth duration. There were significant differences in response to high temperature among these japonica cultivars. Cultivar CY2, HH3, and ZD11 escaped high temperature stress during the anthesis and grain‐filling period due to their long growth duration. WYG24, YG4227, and NG44 were tolerant, while JD263, HD13, and LG7 sensitive to high temperature at anthesis. This study demonstrates genotypic differences in response to high temperature among the elite japonica cultivars from different areas of China and provides cultivars with high temperature tolerance that could be used as donors in rice (O. sativa L.) breeding for a warmer world.Core Ideas

Extra Credit “Opportunities”: A Tool to Motivate Group Interaction in the Classroom
Authors: Westermann Kimberly D. , Thibodeau Jay C. 
Published: February 2016

SUMMARY
To be successful as an auditing professional, students must learn to interact effectively in group settings. We introduce the weekly group Extra Credit Opportunity (ECO) as an instructional resource designed to facilitate group interaction in the classroom. The ECO consists of three questions that students discuss in an assigned group, and should be able to answer, provided that they have thoroughly read the assigned materials for the week. Survey responses from 173 auditing students show that students perceive that the ECO facilitates interpersonal interaction and communication, promotes effective group decision making, and also fosters classroom preparedness, stimulates learning, exposes students to exam questions, and incrementally improves student grades. Overall, we believe the weekly ECO is an efficient and effective tool that can be used by educators to implement nontraditional group work and interaction in the classroom.
Researching at the Intersection of Accounting and Information Technology: A Call for Action
Authors: Murthy Uday S. 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
In this commentary, I argue for a more focused definition of accounting information systems (AIS) as a field at the intersection of accounting and information systems. I contend that the lack of a focused definition is a significant factor leading to some of the more troubling trends affecting academic research in AIS. These trends include the relative paucity of AIS research appearing in the so-called “premier” journals in accounting, the relatively small number of active academic researchers in the field, the decline in the number of doctoral students focusing specifically on AIS research, and the difficulty in distinguishing AIS research from the scholarship in the closely related field of “pure” information systems. I present evidence from an analysis of keywords and journal citations to support my contention that extant published AIS research lacks focus. I argue that a more focused definition of AIS will help the field flourish and suggest such a definition that highlights both the accounting and the information systems aspects of the field.
Discussion of The Determinants of Firm-Specific Corporate Governance Arrangements, IFRS Adoption, and the Informativeness of Accounting Reports: Evidence from Brazil
Authors: Murcia Fernando Dal-Ri 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper is to present a discussion of the article “The Determinants of Firm-Specific Corporate Governance Arrangements, IFRS Adoption, and the Informativeness of Accounting Reports: Evidence from Brazil,” which was presented in the Third International Conference of the Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR). This discussion considers the paper's research questions, hypotheses, and design, as well as the setting in which the study was conducted. In my opinion, the paper's main contribution is to present evidence of a “National Bonding Hypothesis,” where companies with significant growth opportunities located in emerging economies voluntarily subject themselves to higher standards of corporate governance, which in turn impact the quality of their financial reports.

Published: February 2016

We report about the study on the physical features of gold nano-particles (GNPs) created by 2-photons photo-reduction Direct Laser Writing in a Poly-Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) matrix doped with HAuCl4. We drop cast a film of the PVA+ HAuCl4 onto a glass substrate, in which we create 1D gratings made by stripes of GNPs with a single laser sweep. We show that the stripe width increases with the laser power and the exposure time. We also analyse the influence of the exposure time over the created nano-particles size distribution and density and we show that by suitably adjusting the exposure time it is possible to maximize the frequency of a given diameter.
By comparing the experimental results with a polymerization “voxel” model, we are able to evaluate the effective cross section for 2-photons absorption of our material.

Published: February 2016

Amlodipine overdose can be a life threatening situation when it is manifested as noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Treatment remains challenging when it is complicated with refractory hypotension and pulmonary edema. Here we describe a 23 year old female with history of ingestion of 45 tabs (5mg) of amlodipine as a suicidal intent and presented within 36 hours to the hospital. High flow oxygen, IV fluids, calcium gluconate infusion and antibiotics were used for the management. After 7 days of hospital stay, patient was discharged with full recovery.
