Authors: Vailatti Marcel Alex , Altafini Carlos Roberto , Telli Giovani Dambros , Rosa Josimar Souza 
Published: August 2017

This work aims to analyze the operation of a generator set on single fuel mode with diesel oil, and on dual fuel mode using diesel–ethanol blends. The engine used to realize the experimental analysis was a diesel cycle model, single cylinder, direct injection, air refrigerated and coupled to a three-phase electric generator, whose set capacity was 8.0 kVA. The generated electric energy was dissipated in electrical resistances inside a reservoir with running water. Fuels were blended in different volumetric ratios, using a small portion of vegetable castor oil to promote the homogenization. The percentages of substitutions of diesel oil were by 10% to 50%, increasing by 10% the replacement for each sample. Also, the engine was operated with 100% substitution of diesel oil, i.e., for this condition, the samples were composed of ethanol/castor oil 90/10 (volume/volume), 80/20 and 75/25. The blends of diesel and ethanol did not obtain good performance, mainly in taxes of substitution above 40%, causing combustion failures, operational instability, and increase of fuel consumption, although it has achieved a greatly reduction on opacity percentages. The blends with 100% of substitution of diesel oil obtained good performance except to blend with 90% ethanol, where occurred combustion failures, which caused operational instability. To these conditions, the results achieved are increase of consumption by 17%, decrease of opacity by 79%, decrease of exhaust gas temperature by 3.5% and increase of engine thermal efficiency by 1.3%. At the ethanol – castor oil blends there was a decrease in the percentage of opacity by 96%, decrease of exhaust gas temperature by 17.6%, with a minimum of operational irregularities, although fuel consumption has increased by 52.4% and the engine thermal efficiency has decreased almost 1.7%. http://dx.doi.org/10.18226/23185279.v5iss1p1

Published: August 2017

Background: Platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) has recently been applied in osseous regeneration. The aim of the present study is to explore the efficacy of PRF in treatment of intrabony defects (IBDs) in aggressive periodontitis.Methods: Fifty‐four IBDs in 17 patients were treated either with autologous PRF with open flap debridement (OFD) or OFD alone. Clinical and radiologic parameters such as probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), IBD depth, and percentage defect change were recorded at baseline and 9 months postoperatively.Results: Mean PD reduction and mean CAL gain were significantly greater in PRF compared with the control group. Furthermore, a significantly greater percentage of mean bone defect change was found in the PRF group.Conclusion: Within the limits of the present study, there is greater bone fill at sites treated with PRF with conventional OFD than conventional OFD alone.

Published: August 2017

Background: Platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous non‐transfusional hemo‐component with a high concentration of platelets. It incorporates leukocytes, platelets, and growth factors within the dense fibrin matrix and can be used as healing biomaterial. This study assesses the adjunctive use of PRF in regenerative management of intrabony defects in comparison with open flap debridement (OFD).Methods: Twenty‐six bilateral defects (13 per group) in 13 patients were randomized as either PRF (test group) or OFD alone (control group) sites. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bone PD were recorded. Reduction in defect depth and percentage of bone fill was assessed radiographically. Primary outcomes assessed were changes in PD, CAL, and percentage of bone fill, and they were assessed at 6, 9, and 12 months. Secondary outcome was assessment of wound healing using a wound healing index (WHI).Results: The PRF group showed significant improvement in clinical parameters compared with the control group at 6, 9, and 12 months. The PRF group showed a bone fill of 45.18% ± 7.57%, which was statistically significant compared with 21.6% ± 9.3% seen in the control group at the end of the study period. The PRF group also showed significant soft tissue healing and reduction in PD. WHI also showed significant advantages for the PRF group.Conclusion: The adjunctive use of PRF to conventional OFD may be potentially used in the treatment of intrabony defects.
Construcciones posesivas en Pima Bajo
Authors: Fernández Zarina Estrada 
Published: August 2017

En este trabajo se describen las distintas formas de codificación de la posesión en la gramática del pima bajo. Se muestra que la posesión en esta lengua se codifica en los niveles léxico, orfológico y sintáctico. En el léxico mediante el verbo de posesión nukad ‘tener’, ‘cuidar’; en el nivel morfológico por medio de los sufijos: -ga de posesión alienable y -r de posesión inherente, y en el sintáctico a través del uso de las formas pronominales nosujeto. En el caso de la expresión de la posesión en el nivel sintáctico, se proporcionan evidencias que muestran que en el transcurso de los últimos cincuenta años, los pronombres no-sujeto que expresan al poseedor, han ido gramaticalizándose para dar lugar a construcciones de posesión externa, es decir de poseedor promovido, afectando directamente a la transitividad de la cláusula.

Published: August 2017

Background:This study investigates the antipsychotic use patterns of patients with schizophrenia and its correlations in their daily drug use patterns.Methods:Patients with schizophrenia who have regular records at two different community counselling centres (CCS) were included in the study. Information about their medications and sociodemographic data was recorded through face-to-face interviews and supporting information about their drug use patterns was obtained from their relatives/caregivers/nurse. The Clinical Global Impression Scale (severity of illness) and the General Assessment of Functionality scales were also administered.Results:Patients with schizophrenia used 2.0 ± 0.81 antipsychotics daily and 3.52 ± 2.55 pills (1–18). Seventy-one percent of the patients used two or more kinds of psychotropic drugs. The most frequently used antipsychotics were quetiapine, a second generation antipsychotic, and haloperidol, a typical antipsychotic. Clinical severity, regular visits to a CCS and use of depot antipsychotics were independent predictors for polypharmacy.Conclusion:The rate of polypharmacy use is high in Turkey. There are multiple risk factors related with polipharmacy. New studies should focus risk factors for preventing polypharmacy.

Published: August 2017

Introduction:Considering the promising results gained from several studies using cementitious composites with strain hardening behaviour (High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites, HPFRCC) for repair and retrofitting concrete flexural members, in this paper the possibility of using HPFRCC for retrofitting two-way RC slabs is investigated.Methods:A total of five two-way slabs were made and tested to failure. Three slabs were retrofitted with a variety of different types of retrofit configurations and two other slabs, having low and conventional reinforcement ratios, were used as control slabs. A novel technique of bonding, designated NSM-HPFRCC, is proposed. Flexural responses of all slabs are evaluated and the bonding behaviour and associated failure modes are investigated.Results and Conclusion:It is shown that the proposed retrofit configurations, especially when accompanied by the NSM-HPFRCC technique, can greatly improve the flexural performance of retrofitted slabs; hence, they can be used successfully to retrieve the flexural reinforcement deficiency of weak slabs.

Published: August 2017

Background:Institutionalization is increasingly acknowledged as a poor policy for the children. Every country has important responsibilities concerning the protection and promotion of children’s rights who are already in alternative care. Even a relatively short institutional placement may have long term negative consequences on children’s well-being and adult life.Aim:The aim of the present study was to investigate the language and psychosocial skills of Greek institutionalized children in comparison to family raised children.Method:60 preschool children (30 institutionalized children and 30 children brought up in families) participated in the study. The children ranged in age from 4 to 5 years of age. Children’s language and psychosocial skills were assessed.Result:The results demonstrated that the institutionalized children had significantly lower scores in the expressive, receptive vocabulary, narrative skills and psychosocial adjustment in comparison to the children raised in families. These results are discussed in relation to their implications for policy makers in order to move towards the development of new policies, where children are taken care of in more supportive surroundings than an institution.

Published: August 2017

Objective:Considering that in Young sport competitions children are divided according to their chronological age, the aim of this study was to examine the correlation among chronological age and Self-Administered Rating Scale for Pubertal Development (PDS), anthropometry (Body Mass Index -BMI-, percent body fat -%BF-, fat free mass -FFM-), and Countermovement jump (CMJ) measures.Methods:112 young soccer players (age: 14±2 yrs; height: 1.68±0.11 m; weight: 60.3±11.6 kg; BMI: 21.3±2.5 kg.m-2) grouped in “Giovanissimi” (12-14 yrs), “Allievi” (15-16 yrs), and “Juniores” (>17 yrs), categories were evaluated. Pearson correlations and stepwise multiple regression analysis among variables were calculated considering all subjects and within categories. The internal consistency of PDS was determined by Cronbach’s α coefficient (Cα). Considering all subjects, PDS showed an excellent Cα (0.89) and significant correlations with sub-category (r=0.66), age (r=0.67), %BF (r=-0.31), FFM (r=0.71), and CMJ (r=0.55). Within “Giovanissimi” category, significant correlations were found between PDS and age (r=0.56), CMJ (r=0.33), FFM (r=0.63), and sub-category (r=0.55). In “Allievi”, PDS showed correlations with CMJ (r=0.46), FFM (r=0.42), and %BF (r=-0.45). In “Juniores” no significant correlations between PDS and other variables were present. The regression model with sub-category, PDS, and %BF as predictors explained 41% of the variance of CMJ in all subjects. In the “Allievi” category the PSD was the only predictor explaining the 18% of the CMJ performance variance.Results:PDS can provide useful information for the coach to create individual conditioning programs taking into account the growth problems of young soccer players and to minimize the risk of an excessive workload.

OBJECTIVE
To assess, in a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial, the efficacy and safety of diacerein, an immune modulator anti-inflammatory drug, in improving glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Eighty-four patients with HbA1c between 7.5 and 9.5% (58–80 mmol/mol) were randomized to 48-week treatment with placebo (n = 41) or diacerein 100 mg/day (n = 43). The primary outcome was the difference in mean HbA1c changes during treatment. Secondary outcomes were other efficacy and safety measurements. A general linear regression with repeated measures, adjusted for age, sex, diabetes duration, and each baseline value, was used to estimate differences in mean changes. Both intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and per-protocol analysis (excluding 10 patients who interrupted treatment) were performed.

RESULTS
Diacerein reduced HbA1c compared with placebo by 0.35% (3.8 mmol/mol; P = 0.038) in the ITT analysis and by 0.41% (4.5 mmol/mol; P = 0.023) in the per-protocol analysis. The peak of effect occurred at the 24th week of treatment (−0.61% [6.7 mmol/mol; P = 0.014] and −0.78% [8.5 mmol/mol; P = 0.005], respectively), but it attenuated toward nonsignificant differences at the 48th week. No significant effect of diacerein was observed in other efficacy and safety measures. Diarrhea occurred in 65% of patients receiving diacerein and caused treatment interruption in 16%. Seven patients in the diacerein group reduced insulin dosage, whereas 10 in the placebo group increased it; however, mild hypoglycemic events were equally observed.

CONCLUSIONS
Diacerein reduced mean HbA1c levels, with peak of effect at the 24th week of treatment. The drug was well tolerated and may be indicated as adjunct treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes, particularly in those with osteoarthritis.

Evaluation of scab disease resistance and production on sweet potato cultivars. This study was aimed to determine the resistance of local sweet potato cultivars to scab disease in West Papua and the cultivar production. Research was carried out for 6.5 months starting in April 2014. Evaluation of resistance of local sweet potato cultivars and production was designed using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatment consists of six local cultivars, namely Mouwebsi, Kuyage-2, Bonsasarai, Inanwatan-4, Wonembai, and Abomourow. There was no inoculation treatment on the field because Papua was endemic region to the scab disease. Data analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by DMRT test at level of 95%. Cultivars tested had different responses to the long tendrils of parameters and number of branches. The intensity of the disease in Bonsasarai cultivars was 31.7% (moderately resistant), while in Mouwebsi was 13.75%, Wonembai 8.33%, Kuyage-2 0.42%, Abomourow and Inanwatan-4, 0% categorized as resistant cultivars. The tuber weight of Abomourow (4.55 ton/ha) was higher than that of Mouwebsi (3.80 ton/ha), Wonembai (3.62 ton/ha), Bonsasarai (2.28 ton/ha), and Inanwatan-4 (1.12 ton/ha).

OBJECTIVEMalignant meningioma is rare and classified as Grade III in the WHO classification of CNS tumors. However, the presence of estrogen receptor (ER) in WHO Grade III meningiomas and its correlation with patients’ outcomes are still unclear. In this single-center cohort study, the authors analyzed clinical features, treatment, and prognosis of these malignant tumors in patients with long-term follow-up.METHODSA total of 87 patients who were pathologically diagnosed with WHO Grade III meningiomas between 2003 and 2008 were enrolled in this study and followed for at least 7 years. Clinical information was collected to analyze the factors determining the prognosis.RESULTSTwelve patients with rhabdoid, 12 with papillary, and 63 with anaplastic meningioma were included. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 56.2 ± 49.8 months and 68.7 ± 47.4 months, respectively. No significant differences were observed among the 3 histological subtypes in either PFS (p = 0.929) or OS (p = 0.688). Patients who received gross-total resection had a longer PFS (p = 0.001) and OS (p = 0.027) than those who received subtotal resection. Adjuvant radiotherapy was associated with OS (p = 0.034) but not PFS (p = 0.433). Compared with primary meningiomas, patients with recurrent disease had worse PFS (p < 0.001). For patients who had malignant transformations, the prognosis was poorer than for patients without malignant transformations for both PFS (p = 0.002) and OS (p = 0.019). ER-positive patients had a significantly worse prognosis than ER-negative patients regarding both PFS (p = 0.003) and OS (p < 0.001), whereas no association between progesterone receptor and patients’ outcomes was observed. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that ER expression was an independent prognostic factor for both PFS (p = 0.008) and OS (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONSThis retrospective study showed that patients with meningioma with ER-positive expression had a much worse prognosis than those with ER weak–positive or ER-negative status. The results demonstrated that ER is an independent prognostic factor for both PFS and OS of patients with WHO Grade III meningioma. The authors also found that more radical resection of the tumor, as well as postoperative radiotherapy, may prolong patients’ survival time.
On the Origin of the 3.3 μm Unidentified Infrared Emission Feature
Authors: Sadjadi Seyedabdolreza , Zhang Yong , Kwok Sun 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The 3.3 μm unidentified infrared emission feature is commonly attributed to the C–H stretching band of aromatic molecules. Astronomical observations have shown that this feature is composed of two separate bands at 3.28 and 3.30 μm, and the origin of these two bands is unclear. In this paper, we perform vibrational analyses based on quantum mechanical calculations of 153 organic molecules, including both pure aromatic molecules and molecules with mixed aromatic/olefinic/aliphatic hydridizations. We find that many of the C–H stretching vibrational modes in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules are coupled. Even considering the uncoupled modes only, the correlation between the band intensity ratios and the structure of the PAH molecule is not observed, and the 3.28 and 3.30 μm features cannot be directly interpreted in the PAH model. Based on these results, the possible aromatic, olefinic, and aliphatic origins of the 3.3 μm feature are discussed. We suggest that the 3.28 μm feature is assigned to aromatic C–H stretch whereas the 3.30 μm feature is olefinic. From the ratio of these two features, the relative olefinic to aromatic content of the carrier can be determined.
