Selective degeneration of dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s disease: emerging roles of altered calcium homeostasis and nucleolar function
Authors: Parlato Rosanna , Liss Birgit 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Its classic major motor-symptoms are caused by the progressive loss of dopamine in the striatum, and of dopamine (DA) releasing neurons in the midbrain, particularly within the Substantia nigra (SN). The cause for PD is still unclear, hampering the development of curative therapies. However multiple genetic and environmental PD trigger factors have been identified, pointing to a common, mutually interdependent pathomechanism of cell-specific metabolic dysfunction and altered gene expression. Here, we summarize and discuss these emerging PD-pathomechanisms, that could provide novel potential therapeutic targets, with a focus on altered Ca2+ homeostasis and nucleolar function. We discuss how animal models with impaired nucleolar ribosomal RNA synthesis can enable identification of novel cell-specific vulnerability factors, and how complex homeostatic adaptation of SN DA neurons could enable a flexible adjustment of their functional activity to metabolic needs, but also might render them particularly vulnerable to degenerative triggers and cell-death in PD.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
The aim of this study is to present the results of commissioning of Elekta Synergy linear accelerator (linac). The acceptance test and commissioning were performed for three photon beams energies 4 MV, 6 MV and 15 MV and for the multileaf collimator (MLC). The percent depth doses (PDDs), in-plane and cross-plane beam profiles, head scatter factors (Sc), relative photon output factors (Scp), universal wedge transmission factor and MLC transmission factors were measured. The size of gantry, collimator, and couch isocenter were also measured.
Plasticity Modelling in PM Steels
Authors: Andersson M. , Angelopoulos V. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Simulations are continuously becoming more and more important to predict the behaviour of materials, components and structures. Porous materials, such as PM, put special demands on the material models used. This paper investigates the application of the Gurson material model to PM steels. It is shown how the model can be calibrated to material data. The results are also applied to an indentation test, where it’s demonstrated that experimental results can be reproduced with some accuracy. Limitations of the model, and the potential to use more advanced material models are also discussed.
Hybrid suburbia: New research perspectives in France and Southern California
Authors: Weber Florian , Kühne Olaf 
Published: December 2017

AbstractGeographical research on French and US suburbia has concentrated in recent decades on urban sprawl and concomitant processes of devaluation and exclusion. In the case of the Frenchbanlieues, with their much-publicised urban riots, this particular analytic focus has become overwhelming, with resultant loss to other developments and perspectives. However, certain districts in the first (or inner) ring of both French and US suburbia are currently showing distinct urbanisation tendencies in planning and architecture, evident in the new usage of brownfield sites and the ongoing demolition, replacement, and rededication of the older building core. Such processes induce population changes, e.g. the displacement of lower in favour of higher income groups. Overall, they result in an architectonic, social and cultural heterogeneity that escapes the specificity of received categories and merits the term hybridisation. The article describes and compares these processes as exemplified in Greater Paris and San Diego (Southern California).
Home range size and breeding dispersal of a common buzzard (Buteo buteo)
Authors: Väli Ülo 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Telemetric studies have provided ample information on threatened raptors, but still little is known about space use and dispersal of common species. Here I describe the home range and breeding dispersal of a GPS-tracked adult male common buzzard, studied in south-eastern Estonia in 2014–16. This buzzard’s home range covered 8.3 km2 (kernel 95% estimate) with the core range being 2.1 km2 (kernel 50%). The home range increased in the course of the breeding season but decreased again before migration. Surprisingly, the nests in the two successive breeding years were located in the opposite margins of the home range, 1.7 km from each other.
Variación ontogénica y sexual de Oecomys bicolor (Rodentia, Cricetidae) de Perú y Ecuador
Authors: Menajovsky Bonifaz Maria Fernanda , Pacheco Torres Victor Raul 
Published: December 2017

Oecomys es un género moderadamente especioso de tamaño pequeño a mediano y coloración característica. Dentro del género, la especie O. bicolor es reconocida morfológicamente con relativa facilidad; sin embargo, se ha reportado variaciones individuales, en tamaño y color, de distintas poblaciones que sugieren la especie podría ser un complejo de especies. La información intraespecífica presente en O. bicolor es muy poca a pesar de su amplia distribución; no obstante, esta información es necesaria para la delimitación de la especie así como explicar variaciones en poblaciones. Por ello, en el presente estudio se analizaron 148 especímenes de O. bicolor, con el objetivo de evaluar lavariación no geográfica referida al sexo y edad. Las muestras se organizaron formando grupos según su distribución geográfica y se analizaron 13 variables cráneo-dentales. Mediante aproximaciones estadísticas univariadas y multivariadas se demostró que el dimorfismo sexual no es significativo, por otro lado la variación ontogénica es considerable entre jóvenes y adultos. Se recomienda continuar los estudios de variación geográfica tomando en cuenta las edades 3, 4 y 5, y juntando machos y hembras.

Authors: Priyadarshini Raisa , Rautray Subhalaxmi , Dash Rajat Kumar 
Published: December 2017

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Seroma pinna is a collection of fluid between the auricular cartilage and the perichondrium. Seromas can occur spontaneously or after surgery or trauma. Depending on the nature of swellings and the symptoms, they can be distinguished from other conditions of the pinna. Successful treatment is challenging because of high rate of recurrence. Usual treatment used to consist of aspiration of the fluid and pressure bandage. Methods include using buttons as pressure splints, excising a piece of cartilage and perichondrium to cure recurrent seromas<sup>4</sup>,placement of a continuous portable suction drain has also been advised, suturing through and though after aspiration.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> In the first group of patients through and through suturing was done and in the second group window resection was done. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The recurrence rate was 5% for the first group patients while 20% for the second group. The percentage of development of perichondritis was 5% for group A and 15% for group B.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The method put forward in this study is a simple and effective way for its management.

Published: December 2017

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Deep neck space infections (DNSI) are serious diseases that involve several spaces in the neck. The common primary sources of DNSI are tonsil infections, dental infections, salivary gland infections, foreign bodies and malignancies. With widespread use of antibiotics and early detection facilities, the prevalence of DNSI has been reduced. Common complications of DNSI include airway obstruction, jugular vein thrombosis, and sepsis. Treatment principally comprises airway management, antibiotic therapy, and surgical intervention. This study was conducted to investigate the age and sex distribution of patients, symptoms, presentation, sites involved, bacteriology, and management and complications of DNSI.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study of deep neck space infections was done during the period July 2015 to February 2017 i.e. 20 months who attended the outpatient and were admitted as inpatient in Shadan hospital, Hyderabad.50 Cases were included in the study. All parameters including age, gender, co-morbidities, presentation, site, bacteriology, complications, and investigations were studied. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Due to advent of antibiotics, deep neck space infections are in decreasing trend with admission rate accounting to 3% of total inpatients in our hospital. The common age group found to be affected is 10-20 years (28%). Out of all deep neck space infections, Ludwigs infections was common (32%) followed by peritonsillar infections (25%).</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Infection of the deep neck spaces is a common and potentially life threatening ENT disease and requires an interdisciplinary approach. Tooth infections and foreign body impaction are the commonest causes of these infections. Diabetes Mellitus is an important predisposing factor. Complications such as mediastinitis, septic shock and pleural effusion are possible; hence the surgeon should be cautious. </p>

Published: December 2017

<p>"Mucormycosis" term is used in context to a group of fungal diseases caused by the order mucorales. Typically with predilection for the pulmonary and the sino-nasal-orbital tissues, it can very rarely affect the laryngeal as well as the tracheal mucosa either as skip lesions or in continuity. The management of such an involved airway is quite challenging. Literature documents sporadic cases of laryngeal manifestation of mucormycosis. Reported here is such a case of a diabetic male presenting with dyspnoea of sudden onset. Video laryngoscopy revealed extensive glottic edema with a reduced glottis chink. Elective prophylactic tracheostomy followed by direct laryngeal trucut biopsy was undertaken. Histopathology was suggestive of mucormycosis and the patient was administered titrated intravenous Amphoterecin B. The response was favorable and the patient at present is symptom free. </p>

RESUMO: O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o mínimo existencial ecológico e a judicialização das políticas públicas. Assim, por primeiro, analisa-se a dignidade da pessoa humana como base dos direitos fundamentais, bem como os direitos sociais como direitos fundamentais em sua formação e essência absoluta. A partir da análise dos direitos sociais chega-se ao conceito de mínimo existencial. Na sequência, após a delimitação conceitual das políticas públicas, examina-se o controle jurídico destas e a cláusula da “reserva do possível”. Depois, diante da crise ecológica atual e dos problemas ambientais enfrentados apresenta-se o conceito de mínimo existencial que, no entanto, deve ser ampliado. Por fim, formula-se o conceito de mínimo existencial ecológico, que deve ser delineado pelas políticas públicas no âmbito ambiental, sendo perfeitamente possível a sua discussão judicial, apesar de não estar contido em lei específica que o consagre. Palavras-chave: Direitos sociais fundamentais. Política Pública. Mínimo existencial. Mínimo existencial ecológico.

Os sistemas jurídicos inteligentes e o caminho perigoso até a teoria da argumentação de Robert Alexy / The intelligent legal systems and the dangerous way to the argumentation theory of Robert Alexy
Authors: Mozetic Vinícius Almada 
Published: December 2017

RESUMO: A hermenêutica jurídica da tecnologia é resultado da complexidade que se dá por meio de um processo de interpretação daquilo que é influenciado pela tecnologia, não somente e diretamente nos textos, mesmo que virtualizados, mas dos casos tecnológicos baseados em contexto históricos variáveis sob a falsa ideia de eficiência que toma conta do judiciário brasileiro; um caminho que não seja percorrido apenas por um relativismo jurídico, mesmo porque as pré-interpretações desses textos virtuais continuam possibilitando uma nova interpretação e aplicação de uma lei, mesmo que por sistemas jurídicos inteligentes, os quais estão sempre condicionadas a arbitrariedades. Palavras-chave: Sistemas inteligentes; tecnologia; argumentação jurídica. ABSTRACT: The legal hermeneutics of technology is the result of the complexity that occurs through a process of interpretation. It is influenced by technology, not only and directly in texts, even if virtualized, but of technological cases based on historical context variables under the false idea of efficiency. A path that should not be traversed only by a legal relativism, even as the pre-interpretations of these virtual texts continue to make possible a new interpretation and application of a law, even by intelligent legal system, which are always conditioned to arbitrariness. Keywords: Intelligent systems; Technology; legal argumentation.

Published: December 2017

RESUMEN: Hace treinta años la economía mundial, sobre todo en los países desarrollados, sufría, como ocurre ahora, una fuerte crisis económica. De aquella situación surgió un nuevo modelo de regulación de las economías capitalistas al que se llamó neoliberalismo. Desde entonces, con mayor o menor fuerza, ha estado presente en todos los países, aprovechando las condiciones de estos para repetir constantemente los mismos principios: la reducción del Estado, las ventajas del mercado, la autorregulación de éste, etc. Aunque sus premisas parezcan simples o sencillas el neoliberalismo es un proyecto complejo y cambiante, cuya sustentabilidad política y económica se reinventa constantemente y cuya gobernanza y espacialidad es necesario observar y analizar si se quiere avanzar en alternativas viables. El neoliberalismo no vive apartado de proyectos alternativos sino que se mezcla con las alternativas, tiene una forma de gobernanza que muta, que cambia. Con este artículo pretendemos conocer algo más sobre las semejanzas y diferencias que esta ideología presenta según los países.ABSTRACT: Thirty years ago the world economy, especially the developed countries, suffered, as it is the case now, a severe economic crisis.
