Published: July 2017

Abstract. Although some scholars have studied soil erosion in karst landforms, analyses of the spatial and temporal evolution of soil erosion and correlation analyses with spatial elements have been insufficient. The lack of research has led to an inaccurate assessment of environmental effects, especially in the mountainous area of Wuling in China. Soil erosion and rocky desertification in this area influence the survival and sustainability of a population of 0.22 billion people. This paper analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution of soil erosion and explores its relationship with rocky desertification using GIS technology and the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE). Furthermore, this paper analyzes the relationship between soil erosion and major natural elements in southern China. The results are as follows: (1) from 2000 to 2013, the proportion of the area experiencing micro-erosion and mild erosion was at increasing risk in contrast to areas where moderate and high erosion are decreasing. The area changes in this time sequence reflect moderate to high levels of erosion tending to convert into micro-erosion and mild erosion. (2) The soil erosion area on the slope, at 15–35°, accounted for 60.59 % of the total erosion area, and the corresponding soil erosion accounted for 40.44 %. (3) The annual erosion rate in the karst region decreased much faster than in the non-karst region. Soil erosion in all of the rock outcrop areas indicates an improving trend, and dynamic changes in soil erosion significantly differ among the various lithological distribution belts. (4) The soil erosion rate decreased in the rocky desertification regions, to below moderate levels, but increased in the severe rocky desertification areas. The temporal and spatial variations in soil erosion gradually decreased in the study area. Differences in the spatial distribution between lithology and rocky desertification induced extensive soil loss. As rocky desertification became worse, the erosion modulus decreased and the decreasing rate of annual erosion slowed.
Para ler Gauchet 20 anos depois

<p>Em 1985 Marcel Gauchet publicou seu livro <em>Le désenchantement du monde. Une histoire politique de la religion</em> (Galimard) que veio a preencher uma lacuna em termos de grandes sínteses nos estudos de sociologia da religião. Sua análise da religião mostra que, longe de se reduzir a uma superestrutura, o religioso tem modelado ativamente a realidade coletiva e suas formas políticas. Mobilizado pelo estudo desta obra, há mais de vinte anos atrás, publiquei o artigo “Para ler Gauchet”, na revista Religião e Sociedade (1994). Neste artigo retomo a leitura de <em>Désenchantement du Monde</em> e do meu próprio texto, para pensar criticamente as teses de Gauchet a partir de três linhas de interseção dentro da produção atual das ciências sociais da religião. A primeira está referida à crítica que Thomas Csordas. Na segunda, discuto o lugar subordinado que a religião ocupa no pensamento de Gauchet e proponho a urgência em se superar a dicotomia entre o secular e o religioso. A terceira linha apresenta uma crítica ao pensamento ocidental a partir do pós-colonial.</p><p> </p>
Os Paradoxos da presença da Igreja católica nas redes
Authors: Souza Aguiar Carlos Eduardo 
Published: July 2017

Este artigo busca compreender três diferentes paradoxos provocados pela intensa presença institucional da Igreja Católica nas redes digitais. Inicialmente, nós analisamos o contraste existente entre a tradicional estrutura analógica e hierárquica da igreja e a estrutura horizontal e colaborativa que emerge na sociedade contemporânea graças ao advento das redes digitais. Em seguida, nós colocamos em evidência a incompatibilidade entre dois modelos comunicativos distintos, o modelo da disseminação das boas novas que caracteriza a tradição comunicativa católica e o modelo dialógico suscitado pela natureza comunicacional das redes digitais. Finalmente, nós analisamos o paradoxo existente entre a prática comunicativa da igreja, caracterizada por uma abordagem instrumental dos meios e parcialmente baseado na teologia agostiniana, e um novo discurso eclesiástico emergente que, ao buscar adaptar-se à nova realidade comunicacional, prega que o principal desafio da instituição não é saber como bem utilizar e empregar as novas tecnologias, mas colaborar na compreensão profunda desse novo ambiente

The study aimed to identify the level of social responsibility of companies belonging to the “Em Boa Companhia” BMFBovespa. In this sense, a descriptive and documentary research was conducted, with a quantitative approach. The population of study includes all companies that are part of the “Em Boa Companhia” by BMFBovespa, listed in the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) and Carbon Efficient Index (ICO2), being composed by 29 companies, which six constituted the sample, those had the necessary data. The data analysis was carried out based on the indicators proposed in the Social Balance of the Brazilian Institute of Social and Economic Analysis (IBASE) Model. The results showed that Bank of Brazil was the one that had the highest investment in internal social indicators, while Ultrapar was the one that less invested. Cemig company had the highest value in external social indicators and the greater investment if the net revenue is considered. Moreover, among companies that publish their Social Balance Sheet, the amount of the investments with environmental indicators is significantly lower the internal and external indicators. In addition, most of the amount invested in external indicators is intended for taxes.

Paulownia witches’ broom (PaWB) disease caused by phytoplasma is a fatal disease that leads to considerable economic losses. Although there are a few reports describing studies of PaWB pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying phytoplasma pathogenicity in Paulownia trees remain uncharacterized. In this study, after building a transcriptome database containing 67,177 sequences, we used isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) to quantify and analyze the proteome-level changes among healthyP. fortunei(PF), PaWB-infectedP. fortunei(PFI), and PaWB-infectedP. fortuneitreated with 20 mg L−1or 60 mg L−1methyl methane sulfonate (MMS) (PFI-20 and PFI-60, respectively). A total of 2,358 proteins were identified. We investigated the proteins profiles in PFvs. PFI (infected process) and PFI-20vs. PFI-60 (recovered process), and further found that many of the MMS-response proteins mapped to “photosynthesis” and “ribosome” pathways. Based on our comparison scheme, 36 PaWB-related proteins were revealed. Among them, 32 proteins were classified into three functional groups: (1) carbohydrate and energy metabolism, (2) protein synthesis and degradation, and (3) stress resistance. We then investigated the PaWB-related proteins involved in the infected and recovered processes, and discovered that carbohydrate and energy metabolism was inhibited, and protein synthesis and degradation decreased, as the plant responded to PaWB. Our observations may be useful for characterizing the proteome-level changes that occur at different stages of PaWB disease. The data generated in this study may serve as a valuable resource for elucidating the pathogenesis of PaWB disease during phytoplasma infection and recovery stages.
Melatonin supplementation for the prevention of hospital-associated delirium
Authors: Joseph Sarah Gabrielle 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Characterized by acute alterations in cognition or consciousness, delirium is a transient neuropsychiatric syndrome that develops in a large percentage of hospitalized patients. Delirium is a robust predictor of increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs, especially when diagnosed in the critical care setting. Although the exact pathogenesis behind delirium has yet to be defined, disturbances in the sleep-wake cycle are a core feature. Currently, no pharmacologic interventions are recommended for delirium prophylaxis. Due to the role of melatonin in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, its use in delirium has been investigated in recent years. Objective data has shown altered serum levels of melatonin and its precursor, tryptophan, in patients with delirium, further suggesting a correlation between melatonin and delirium. This article examines the available evidence and discusses considerations surrounding melatonin supplementation for the prevention of hospital-associated delirium.
Psychiatric symptoms and synthetic cannabinoid use: Information for clinicians
Authors: Sweet Gary , Kim Sara , Martin Samuel , Washington Nicole B. , Brahm Nancy 
Published: July 2017

Abstract

Background:
Limited treatment information is available when patients present with psychotic symptoms secondary to synthetic cannabinoid (SC) use. Symptoms associated with use are often indistinguishable from those encountered with a primary mental illness and also include aggression, confusion, and anxiety. For these patients, clinicians rely on physical presentation, symptom(s) onset, and episode duration when evaluating patients.

Patient History:
An adult man was involuntarily admitted to inpatient status secondary to reports of bizarre behaviors that included paranoia and psychomotor agitation. Because of the severity of the symptoms, he was unable to participate in the admission assessment. On day 2, he reported having smoked a substance provided by a friend. In addition, he admitted to previous SC use on 3 occasions, with each occasion resulting in an involuntary admission to inpatient status. The course of this admission was unremarkable.

Conclusions:
A brief overview of psychiatric signs and symptoms of SC use and information to help clinicians are included. The presentation of psychotic symptoms secondary to SC may be consistent with those of psychosis or other substances of abuse. Because of the variability in the symptoms produced by SC use, clinicians are encouraged to consider SC use in the diagnostic evaluation.
Psychiatric admission in adolescent transgender patients: A case series
Authors: Alastanos Jennifer N. , Mullen Sandra 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Gender dysphoria is defined as a marked incongruence between one's natal gender and gender identity that causes significant distress. It may be present in children but often fades prior to puberty. Gender dysphoria is more likely to persist into adulthood when present in adolescents. Due to the common occurrence of psychiatric comorbidities, gender dysphoria is a contributing factor leading to outpatient and inpatient psychiatric care in children and adolescents. There is currently limited available literature on psychiatric hospitalization and management in transgender adolescents. A PubMed search revealed no case reports regarding psychiatric admission for transgender adolescents with comorbid anxiety, depression, or suicidal ideation. Due to the lack of literature related to psychiatric management of transgender adolescent patients, this case series briefly describes the past medical history, pharmacotherapy, and discharge diagnoses of 5 transgender adolescents admitted to an inpatient psychiatry unit. In this case series, 4 of the 5 patients identified as female to male and ages ranged from 13 to 17 years. All patients had a history of depressive symptoms with suicidal ideation as the key factor prompting admission. All patients were managed on psychotropic pharmacotherapy, and 3 of the 5 patients were on pharmacotherapy related to gender transition. Anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation were common comorbidities leading to psychiatric hospitalization of adolescent transgender patients in various stages of gender transitioning in this case series.
Approach to the provision of transgender health care in a veteran population
Authors: Kaigle Allie , Sawan-Garcia Ranya , Firek Anthony 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Transgender patients often experience health disparities, including higher rates of psychiatric comorbidity, tobacco and substance use disorders, higher suicide risk, and reduced access and initiation of medical and mental health services. In 2011, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system released a directive outlining the provision of transgender health care services. Since 2011, the number of transgender veterans seeking services has increased. To address these health care disparities and ensure competent comprehensive medical and mental health care for this population, an interprofessional team collaborated to develop the first formalized Transgender Healthcare Clinic at the VA Loma Linda Medical Center. The team consisted of an endocrinologist, primary care provider, clinical pharmacist, psychologist, and social worker. Each member of the team plays a key role in the management of mental and medical health care for transgender veterans. After implementation of the Transgender Healthcare Clinic and its respective model for appointments, access to gender transition–related health care has improved and expanded. Although the role of the clinical pharmacist is well established in this clinic, the addition of a psychiatric pharmacist to the transgender health care team could improve patient care through the integration of an expert understanding of behavioral and pharmacologic aspects facing transgender individuals. The psychiatric pharmacist is trained with the unique skill set required to address these concerns and facilitate the optimal management of co-occurring mental illnesses commonly seen in this patient population. Further research focusing on the integration of psychiatric pharmacists into transgender health care teams is needed.
The provenance and internal structure of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit revealed by detrital zircon geochronology, Western Cyclades, Greece
Authors: Seman S. , Stockli D. F. , Soukis K. 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThis study presents detrital zircon U‐Pb analyses of 23 samples of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (CBU) from Kea, Kythnos, and Serifos islands, as well as the Lavrion Peninsula of SE Attica. The maximum depositional ages (MDA) and age distributions of detrital zircon U‐Pb dates are used to correlate metasediments between the islands considered herein and infer their provenance. Two distinct detrital zircon U‐Pb age distributions are found in CBU metasediments: “Proterozoic,” comprised of >40% Neoproterozoic zircons with Triassic‐Early Jurassic maximum depositional ages and “Paleozoic,” containing >30% Paleozoic zircons and yielding Late Jurassic‐Cretaceous MDAs. Proterozoic affinity metasediments are rift margin deposits derived from the northern Gondwanan margin. Paleozoic metasediments are flysch sediments most probably sourced from the Internal Hellenides. This metamorphosed flysch forms a distinct marker horizon found in a similar structural position in Lavrion, Kythnos, and Serifos. Based on lithologic correlation, sediment provenance, and MDA estimates, the CBU of Kythnos is correlative to the Lavrion Schists of Attica. On the islands of Serifos and Kythnos and within the Lavrion Schists only young‐on‐old relationships exist between rocks based on MDA estimates.
Cyanid‐freie und breit anwendbare enantioselektive Syntheseplattform für chirale Nitrile durch einen biokatalytischen Zugang

Published: July 2017

AbstractEine Cyanid‐freie Plattformtechnologie zur Synthese von chiralen Nitrilen durch eine biokatalytische, enantioselektive Dehydratisierung zahlreicher Aldoxime wurde entwickelt. Die Nitrile wurden in vielen Fällen mit Enantiomerenüberschüssen von >90 % ee (bis zu 99 % ee) erhalten, und eine “privilegierte Substratstruktur” in Hinblick auf das Erzielen einer hohen Enantioselektivität wurde identifiziert. Des Weiteren wurde ein überraschendes Phänomen bei der Enantiospezifität beobachtet, das normalerweise in der Biokatalyse nicht auftritt: In Abhängigkeit vom E‐ und Z‐Isomer des racemischen Aldoximsubstrats wurde mit demselben Enzym das gegensätzliche Enantiomer des gebildeten Nitrils als bevorzugtes Produkt erhalten.
Peptide‐Directed Binding for the Discovery of Modulators of α‐Helix‐Mediated Protein–Protein Interactions: Proof‐of‐Concept Studies with the Apoptosis Regulator Mcl‐1
Authors: Beekman Andrew Michael , O'Connell Maria Anne , Howell Lesley Ann 
Published: July 2017

AbstractTargeting PPIs with small molecules can be challenging owing to large, hydrophobic binding surfaces. Herein, we describe a strategy that exploits selective α‐helical PPIs, transferring these characteristics to small molecules. The proof of concept is demonstrated with the apoptosis regulator Mcl‐1, commonly exploited by cancers to avoid cell death. Peptide‐directed binding uses few synthetic transformations, requires the production of a small number of compounds, and generates a high percentage of hits. In this example, about 50 % of the small molecules prepared showed an IC50 value of less than 100 μm, and approximately 25 % had IC50 values below 1 μm to Mcl‐1. Compounds show selectivity for Mcl‐1 over other anti‐apoptotic proteins, possess cytotoxicity to cancer cell lines, and induce hallmarks of apoptosis. This approach represents a novel and economic process for the rapid discovery of new α‐helical PPI modulators.

Published: July 2017

AbstractThe encapsulation of viologen derivatives into metallic single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) results in the opening of a band gap, making the SWNTs semiconducting. Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and aberration‐corrected high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy confirm the encapsulation process. Through the fabrication of field‐effect transistor devices, the change of the electronic structure of the tubes from metallic to semiconducting upon the encapsulation is confirmed. The opening of a gap in the band structure of the tubes was not detected in supramolecular controls.

Published: July 2017

AbstractSilanones 2 substituted by bulky amino‐ and phosphonium ylide substituents have been synthesized and isolated in crystalline form. Thanks to the steric protection and the strong electron‐donating ability of the substituents, silanones 2 are persistent and only slowly dimerizes at room temperature (t1/2=0.5 or 5 h). Structural and theoretical analysis of 2 indicate a short Si=O bond (1.533 Å) and an enhanced polarization toward the O atom compared to Me2Si=O owing to the strong π‐electron donation from the phosphonium ylide substituent.

Implementing plant‐derived isosorbide and isomannide as comonomers for polyester synthesis: Effects of crystallization properties on optical properties
Authors: Zhang Fuchen , Wang Qiuxia , Wang Lipeng , Bai Yongping 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTThis article describes the implementation of plant‐derived isosorbide (IS) and isomannide (IM) in the copolymerization modification of poly(ethylene terephthalate). The effects of the two comonomers on the optical, crystallization, and thermal properties of the resulting copolyesters were studied using the following analytical methods: proton nuclear magnetic resonance; differential scanning calorimetry; X‐ray diffraction; thermogravimetry; and ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy. As comonomers, IS and IM increased the transmittance and reduced the haze of the copolyesters. Moreover, while IM improved the optical properties more than did IS, both monomers improved the optical properties of the copolyesters by lowering its crystallization ability. After the copolymerization modification, the crystallization rate of the copolyesters was reduced, decreasing the crystallinity and crystal size and thereby reducing the light transmission interference. The comonomers also altered the light absorption properties of the copolyesters and conferred a substantial increase in the transmittance of near‐infrared (NIR) wavelengths. These changes in optical properties exhibit the potential of these comonomers for applications in optical materials and NIR detectors. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
