Multinational, pilot audit of a Velcro adjustable compression wrap system for venous and lymphatic conditions
Authors: Ehmann S. , Whitaker J.C. , Hampton S. , Collarte A. 
Published: September 2016

Objective: The aim of this small pilot audit was to record the performance of an adjustable Velcro compression wrap, ReadyWrap, and the experiences of patients and health-care professionals using the system as a self-care option for the management of venous and lymphatic leg conditions in both the treatment and maintenance phases. Method: This audit was held within a 4-week review period. Participants included venous leg ulcer (VLU) patients with and without oedema, and patients with lymphoedema. Where open wounds were present they were managed with debridement, skin care and dressings according to clinical need. Lymphoedema patients received manual lymphatic drainage and skin care regimens as per standard practice. The Velcro system evaluated formed part of a treatment pathway with compression bandages and/or compression hosiery as clinically indicated. Patients, carers and health-care professionals applied the garments following assessment and training. Objective data recorded included change in circumferential measurements and improvement in wound status. Observation of health-care professionals, patients and carers with regard to the comfort and ease of application/removal of the device were recorded. Results: There were 17 patients included in the audit. Within the 4-week period a reduction in limb circumference was recorded in all cases. Improvements in open wounds were recorded in most cases. Following the 4-week audit period 94% of the application of the device was performed by either the patient (59%) or the carer (35%) thereby reducing the health-care professional contact that was required for application. Conclusion: Early results in this small audit demonstrate that this adjustable Velcro compression wrap may provide a simple, clinically effective and patient-acceptable solution for self-care with compression. Use of this type of device could have the potential to reduce overall health-care burden by reducing necessary skilled treatment visits and/or cost while still achieving good clinical outcomes. Further studies are required to confirm this pilot study and provide additional data.

Published: September 2016

Objective: To investigate the effect of a novel topical wound-healing agent, low-concentration povidone-iodine ointment (LPIO) with a hydrophobic white petrolatum-rich base on skin-wound models in rats and rabbits. Method: The therapeutic efficacy of topically applied LPIO was compared to that of standard-concentration povidone-iodine ointment (SPIO) and non-treatment control, using a full-thickness skin-wound model in 24 hairless rats and a full-thickness skin-defect model in rabbit earlobes. The animals were kept under standardised conditions at the Central Research Laboratory of Maruishi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Osaka, Japan). Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated based on macroscopic wound-size reduction, as well as histopathological and immuno-histochemical examinations. Results: LPIO enhanced wound healing in rat full-thickness skin ulcers, reducing wound size and inflammation, when compared with that in SPIO and non-treatment control. LPIO also markedly improved wound healing in rabbit earlobe ulcers by significantly improving re-epithelialisation, compared with that in SPIO. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that LPIO is a useful topical therapy for ulcerative lesions.
An assessment of key risk factors for surgical site infection in patients undergoing surgery for spinal metastases
Authors: Atkinson R.A. , Stephenson J. , Jones A. , Ousey K.J. 
Published: September 2016

Objective: This study aimed to determine the rate of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing surgery for spinal metastases, and identify key risk factors for SSI among this patient group. Method: A retrospective case note review was undertaken in adult patients being treated at a single specialist centre for spinal surgery. Results: There were 152 patients identified for inclusion. Overall SSI rate was 11.2 per 100 patients (9.7 per 100 procedures). An increase in the risk of SSI was observed when surgery involved a greater number of vertebral levels (odds ratio 1.26, p=0.019) when controlling for primary spinal region. Controlling for the number of spinal levels, the odds of SSI increased by a factor of 5.6 (p=0.103) when the primary surgical region was thoracic, as opposed to cervical or lumbar. Conclusion: In conclusion, surgery associated with multiple vertebral levels for treatment of spinal metastases, particularly of the thoracic spine, is associated with increased risk of SSI.

Published: September 2016

Abstract
Amidst decades of attention directed toward improving employment outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), few efforts have been made to engage communities in identifying local solutions for expanding integrated employment opportunities. We examined the implementation and outcomes of “community conversation” events held in 6 geographically and economically diverse locales. Each event used an asset-based dialogue approach called the World Café (Brown & Isaacs, 2005) to solicit ideas from a broad cross-section of community members on improving integrated employment that reflect local priorities and possibilities. Six key themes encapsulated the 1,556 strategies generated by the almost 400 attendees. Although considerable consistency was found among the categories of strategies raised across events, the manner in which those individual strategies would be implemented locally reflected the unique accent of each community. Attendees also viewed these events as promising and productive pathways for identifying next steps for their community. We offer recommendations for community-level intervention efforts and suggest directions for future research.
Parent Beliefs About the Causes of Learning and Developmental Problems Among Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Results From a National Survey
Authors: Zuckerman Katharine E. , Lindly Olivia J. , Sinche Brianna 
Published: September 2016

AbstractThis study aimed to assess variation in parent beliefs about causes of learning and developmental problems in U.S. children with autism spectrum disorder, using data from a nationally representative survey. Results showed that beliefs about a genetic/hereditary cause of learning/developmental problems were most common, but nearly as many parents believed in exposure causes. Forty present of parents had no definite causal beliefs. On multivariate analysis, parents who were non-White, publicly insured or poor were more likely than other parents to endorse exposure causes, or less likely to endorse genetic causes, compared to other parents. Further research should assess how these beliefs modify health care quality or services use.
From victims to perpetrators: Cultural representations of the link between the Holocaust and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict
Authors: Steir-Livny Liat 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This article proposes a reading of films and literary works of Jewish–Israeli directors and writers that represent a link between the Holocaust and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Based on LaCapra’s ‘acting out’ and Hirsch’s ‘postmemory’ it examines the way artists reflect the complex political blend of the Holocaust and the Israeli– Palestinian conflict. The article shows that, alongside a right-wing narrative that represents the Arabs as the Nazis’ successors, Hebrew literature and cinema, especially in the last decade, reflect mainly the opinions of the left and extreme left wing in Israel, who do not accept this equation, but create what can be called a ‘counteracting-out’ – a reversed equation in which the resemblance between the Holocaust and the Nakbah and/or Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers and Nazis is represented. The fact that the politicization of the Holocaust is tossed from one political side to the other reflects the confusion and ambivalence in Israel’s postmemory of the Holocaust, and indicates the struggle between different memory agents on the collective memory of the Holocaust.
Towards a field theory of punk
Authors: O’Connor Alan 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This article draws on a growing number of studies of punk that use Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and field. It is argued that this approach has considerable advantages over the concept of subculture because of its emphasis on the diversity of punk practices. The concept of subculture tends to assume a shared culture and a consensus about punk values. The article argues that punk should be considered as practice within a field. This research strategy is illustrated by interviews with two contemporary bands.

Published: September 2016

Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo desidratar diferentes formulações de polpa de caqui em camada de espuma na temperatura de 70 ºC através do ajuste de modelos matemáticos de secagem aos dados experimentais. Foi utilizado polpa de caqui, comercializada no município de Campina Grande - PB preparada em três diferentes formulações: 1- emulsificante, 2 – liga neutra, 3 – emulsificante e liga neutra. A mistura foi disposta em bandejas e levada para secagem em estufa de ar forçado a 70 °C. Os dados da secagem foram ajustados aos modelos: Cavalcanti Mata, Logarítimico, Page e Midilli e Kucuk, verificando que todos os modelos utilizados ajustaram-se satisfatoriamente aos dados experimentais com coeficientes de determinações superiores a 0,96 e desvios quadráticos médios inferiores a 0,02, porém o modelo de Cavalcanti Mata demonstra uma superioridade por apresentar os maiores valores de R2 e menores valores de DQM.
ANÁLISE DA VULNERABILIDADE TECNOLÓGICA DAS FAMÍLIAS DA ZONA RURAL DO MUNICÍPIO DE GADO BRAVO-PB
Authors: Aguiar Sara Camêlo , Moraes Neto João Miguel 
Published: September 2016

O presente trabalho teve como área de estudo a zona rural do município de Gado Bravo, localizado na mesorregião do Agreste Paraibano e seu objetivo é calcular e analisar a vulnerabilidade tecnológica das famílias da zona rural do município. Foi empregada uma abordagem quanti-qualitativa com uma pesquisa do tipo exploratória e foram aplicados 83 questionários às famílias. Conforme os resultados, a vulnerabilidade tecnológica das famílias da zona rural de Gado Bravo alcançou o índice de 68,65%, que consiste em uma vulnerabilidade muito alta (>45%) e é resultante de elementos como a pouca duração da água armazenada e a ausência de planejamento da produção, que por sua vez são decorrentes da ínfima presença de assistência técnica devido ao descaso do poder público.

Published: September 2016

Para avaliar os efeitos da inoculação com bradyrhizobium e fungos micorrízicos arbusculares em dois substratos usados para a formação de mudas de Acacia mangium Willd, no crescimento, nodulação, colonização micorrízica e teores e acúmulos de macro e micronutrientes, foi realizado um experimento em casa de vegetação na Embrapa Agrobiologia, utilizando um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial completo 4 X 2 com 5 repetições. Os tratamentos foram: Testemunha sem inoculação; inoculação com rizóbio; inoculação com micorriza; inoculação com rizóbio + micorriza e dois substratos com diferentes conteúdos de composto orgânico em sua composição. Avaliaram-se os parâmetros de crescimento, nutrição, nodulação e colonização das mudas aos 120 dias após o plantio. As mudas colonizadas apresentaram maior desenvolvimento e acumulação de nutrientes em relação as não colonizadas. Além disso, o substrato contendo menor percentagem de composto orgânico, na maioria dos parâmetros analisados, não obteve diferenças estatísticas em relação ao substrato com maior teor. Os resultados finais indicam que, em relação as variáveis estudadas, deve-se optar pelo substrato com menor teor de composto orgânico para a produção de mudas dessa espécie.

Published: September 2016

A caatinga ocupa a maior parte da região semiárida do Brasil, encontrada exclusivamente no território brasileiro e por sua extensão está entre as mais importantes florestas secas do mundo. As estiagens recorrentes e os anos de degradação ambiental tornaram a região pouco desenvolvida e com problemas socioeconômicos acentuados. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi apresentar uma síntese socioeconômica e política sobre a seca do semiárido nordestino enfatizando o bioma da região. Para tanto foram considerados critérios relacionados à conservação da caatinga e a educação contextualizada, aliados à convivência com o semiárido, fatores necessários para promoção de mudanças substanciais na estrutura social. A metodologia adotada foi uma análise bibliográfica sobre a seca e a conservação do bioma em questão com foco para a educação e o desenvolvimento sustentável. Identificou-se a necessidade de incentivos à agricultura e melhoria dos indicadores sociais, para um aproveitamento maior de parte do potencial produtivo da região semiárida brasileira.

PROCESSOS FORMATIVOS DE UM MÍDIA NINJA E AS NOVAS NARRATIVAS DO ATIVISMO NO CONTEXTO DA CIBERCULTURA
Authors: Paz Tatiana Santos da , Sales Carolina Bentes de Oliveira , Santos Neila Rodrigues , Junqueira Eduardo S. 
Published: September 2016

As práticas comunicacionais em rede da cibercultura proporcionam um inédito fazer político que conferem novas características ao ativismo, formando um contexto para a emergência do ciberativismo. Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender como se estruturam os processos formativos de um integrante do Mídia NINJA (MN) e suas relações com o ativismo no contexto da cibercultura. O estudo adotou uma abordagem de estudo de caso com perspectiva etnográfica para compreender o olhar de um fotógrafo do MN sobre os referidos processos e relações, evidenciadas por sua experiência nas manifestações de 2013 no Brasil. As técnicas de pesquisa utilizadas foram a entrevista semi-estruturada e a coleta de dados em redes sociais. O arcabouço teórico do estudo abrange as teorias sobre ciberativismo (CASTELLS, 2013; DI FELICE, 2013; ANTOUN & MALINI, 2013); cibercultura (LEMOS, 2010; LÉVY, 1993 e 2010) e processos formativos (LAROSSA, 2002; MACEDO, 2010; DOMINCÉ, 2006). As experiências relatadas neste trabalho pelo integrante do MN indicaram que seus processos formativos e sua atuação, enquanto fotógrafo e ciberativista, delineiam trajetórias marcadas pelas trocas horizontais e em rede com sujeitos diversos. Estas se estruturam para além dos ambientes formais de ensino e estão relacionadas à sua atuação política como fotógrafo em formação e ativista em rede. São processos relacionados, que sustentam o ativismo atual e nele se retroalimentam. Indicam, assim, novas formas de aprender e de atuar politicamente na contemporaneidade.
NARRATOLOGIA NO ARQUIVO DA LITERATURA * NARRATOLOGY IN THE ARCHIVE OF LITERATURE

Published: September 2016

Resumo:Os historiadores literários estão escavando uma grande variedade de formas literárias esquecidas, o que coloca uma questão das mais importantes: como apreender a especificidade dessas obras. A leitura cerrada e a leitura sintomática têm sido, até aqui, as ferramentas mais importantes usadas pelo críticos literários, mas elas se mostram ineficazes para lidar com romances que não se conformam com os paradigmas realista e modernista. O artigo ilustra esse método através da redescoberta da ficção de aventura marítima enquanto uma influente prática transnacional do romance de Defoe a Conrad.Palavras-chave: narratologia; arquivo; ficção marítima Abstract:The literary historians are excavating a great range of forgotten literary forms, which posits the important question on how to apprehend their specificity. So far, close reading and symptomatic reading have been the most important tools used by literary critics, but they are unable to deal with novels that do not conform to the realist and modernist paradigms. The article examines this return to the archive discusses the methodology necessary to grasp these forgotten forms. The article illustrates this method through the rediscovery of sea adventure fiction as an influential transnational practice of the novel from Defoe to Conrad.Keywords: narratology; archive; sea adventure fiction

Published: September 2016

Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of abdominal and general obesity on periodontal outcomes in a population‐based cohort of Brazilian adults.Methods: Abdominal and general obesity were assessed in the years 2009 (n = 1,720) and 2012 (n = 1,222). For abdominal obesity, a dichotomous variable was created: 1) eutrophic/lost weight or 2) obese/gained weight. For general obesity, a categorical variable was created: 1) eutrophic/lost weight; 2) gained weight; or 3) obese. Periodontal outcomes were percentage of teeth with bleeding on probing (BOP) and combination of BOP and attachment loss (AL). Hypertension was set as the mediator. Marginal structural models (MSMs) were used to estimate the controlled direct effect of obesity on periodontal outcomes.Results: Periodontal data were presented from 1,066 participants. The total effect model showed those with general obesity in the cohort period presented higher risk of unfavorable periodontal outcomes (rate ratio [RR]: 1.45 for AL and BOP in different teeth; RR: 1.84 for AL and BOP in the same tooth). Estimates from MSMs revealed an effect of general obesity on AL and BOP in different teeth (RR: 1.44). No effect of general obesity was noted on the percentage of BOP. Total effect of abdominal obesity increased risk of AL and BOP in different teeth (RR: 1.47), AL and BOP in the same tooth (RR: 2.77), and percentage of BOP (RR: 1.49). In a MSM, those with abdominal obesity presented greater risk of AL and BOP in the same tooth (RR: 2.16) and percentage of BOP (RR: 1.37).Conclusion: Abdominal obesity has a direct effect on unfavorable periodontal outcomes in MSMs.

Published: September 2016

<div><p><em>The objective of the present study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between perception of psycho-social school environment, personal growth initiative and fear of failure in intermediate students. The study also aimed to observe whether there are gender differences between students going to colleges (viz. with EAMCET coaching and without EAMCET coaching) in terms of psycho-social school environment, personal growth initiative and fear of failure in intermediate students. The School Environment Inventory (Misra, 1984), the Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II (Robitschek et al., 2012) and the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (Conroy et. al., 2002) were administered on 300 intermediate students (150 boys and 150 girls) selected through a non-probability purposive sampling technique to measure the perception of psycho-social school environment, personal growth initiative and fear of failure respectively. The results indicated significant gender differences between the students going to colleges with coaching and the students going to colleges without coaching with respect to perception of psycho-social school environment and personal growth initiative (p&lt;0.05). However, no significant gender differences were observed in fear of failure and its dimensions (p&gt;0.05). Among students going to colleges with coaching negative correlations were observed between rejection, fear of experiencing shame and embarrassment and personal growth initiative, moreover in this group, creative stimulation, cognitive encouragement and permissiveness (p&lt;0.05) were positively correlated with using resources and negatively correlated with fears of important others losing interest (p&lt;0.05). Also personal growth initiative was positively correlated with fears of upsetting important others and cognitive encouragement (p&lt;0.05) in students going to colleges without coaching. The present study reiterates that perception of school environment by students is of paramount importance in promoting or hindering the student’s personal growth initiative and subsequently their fear of failure.</em></p></div>
