Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy in Highly Myopic Eyes with Elongated Axial Length
Authors: Kokame Gregg T. , Tom Elysse S. , Shantha Jessica G. , Kaneko Kyle N. 
Published: November 2017

Purpose:
To retrospectively review the prevalence of myopia and elongated axial length in eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and to evaluate treatment response of PCV in highly myopic eyes. PCV has rarely been reported in myopic eyes.

Methods:
A retrospective review of all eyes diagnosed with PCV at the clinics of Retina Consultants of Hawaii and the Hawaii Macula and Retina Institute was performed between February of 2007 and April of 2017 to evaluate for eyes with significant myopia and elongated axial length.

Results:
A total of 282 eyes were diagnosed with PCV by ICG angiography. There were 144 males (59%) and 99 females (41%). 204 patients had unilateral PCV and 39 patients had bilateral PCV. A total of 3 patients with PCV had significant myopia less than -6 diopters or confirmed elongated axial length. One of these patients had bilateral PCV so there were 4 eyes noted with significant myopia and elongated axial length out of 282 eyes with PCV (1.4%). All 3 patients were Asian and presented with active leakage or bleeding related to PCV diagnosed on indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography. Treatments typically used to treat PCV including intravitreal antiangiogenic medications and photodynamic therapy were utilized.

Conclusion and Importance:
High myopia is rare in eyes diagnosed with PCV, even though choroidal neovascularization is a common cause of vision loss in myopic macular degeneration. However, even in highly myopic eyes, PCV may show signs of resistance to antiangiogenic medications.

Published: November 2017

Background:
Opportunities for HIV testing could be enhanced by offering HIV self-testing (HIVST) in populations that fear stigma and discrimination when accessing conventional HIV counselling and testing. Field experience with HIVST was poorly reported in French-speaking African countries.

Objective:
To investigate the usability of HIVST in Bangui, Central African Republic.

Methods:
The prototype self-test Exacto® Test HIV (Biosynex, Strasbourg, France) was used to assess the usability of HIVST in 300 adults living in Bangui, according to WHO technical recommendations. Simplified and easy-to-read leaflet was translated in French and Sango.

Results:
Preliminary survey in 3,484 adult volunteers including students, men who have sex with men and female sex workers living in Bangui showed that previous HIV testing in conventional centres for HIV counselling and testing was relatively infrequent and that acceptability of HIVST was elevated, although high heterogeneity could be observed between groups. The notice in French and Sango of Exacto® Test HIV were chosen in 242/300 (80.6%) and 58/300 (19.4%), respectively. It was correctly understood in 273/300 (91.0%). The majority (275/300; 91.6%) correctly performed the HIV self-test; however, 71/300 (23.0%) asked for oral assistance. Most of the participants (273/300; 91.0%) found that performing of the self-test was very easy or easy, and less than Most of participants (273/300; 91.0%) found that performing of the self-test was very easy or easy and less than 1.0% (2/300) found it difficult. Overall the result were correctly interpreted in 96.9% (3,782/3,900), the reading/interpretion errors concerned the positive (96/1,800;5.3%), invalid (17/600;2.8%) and negative (5/1,500; 0.3%) self-test. The Cohen's coefficient κwas 0.94. The main obstacle for HIVST was the educational level, with interpretation difficulties in poorly educated people.

Conclusions:
Our observations on profane adults living in Central African Republic, demonstrate: (i) the need to adapt the notice of instruction to African public, including educational pictograms as well as notice in vernacular language(s); (ii) the frequent difficulties in understanding the notice with frequent misinterpretation of test results; (iii) and the generally good usability of the HIV self-test despite these latter pitfalls. More research on exploring the best strategy (i.e. supervised versus unsupervised strategies) for different high- and low- risk populations in resource-constrained settings remains needed.

Published: November 2017

Os EUA praticamente dobraram a sua produção de gás natural na última década através do shale gas (MME, 2015). Levando o país a ser o maior produtor mundial de gás natural (BP, 2014). O crescimento da produção do gás natural nos EUA vem causando implicações na geopolítica e geoestratégias dos países importadores e exportadores de gás natural. Há dúvidas dessa chamada “revolução do shale gas”, gerando debate entre os especialistas em energia. Este artigo procura levantar esse debate energético entre os especialistas, mostrando assim as dúvidas que cercam a produção e reservas do shale gas dos EUA. Outro fator importante é ligado aos impactos na saúde e no meio ambiente, devido ao seu método de exploração, através do fraturamento hidráulico. Os resultados mostram que há muita polêmica entre os especialistas, que o Brasil precisa abrir um grande debate energético na sociedade, antes do início de qualquer exploração do shale gas.

RESUMO
As fusões e aquisições cresceram significativamente no Brasil nos últimos anos e a tendência é a essas operações continuem em alta no mercado brasileiro, visto a situação econômica do país. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender como a fusão e/ou aquisição de uma organização impacta os funcionários, bem como os caminhos que podem ser traçados pelo Desenvolvimento Organizacional para que a adaptação ao novo ambiente seja efetiva. Além do referencial teórico adotado, uma pesquisa com os colaboradores da organização objeto de estudo fizeram parte da elaboração deste material. Os resultados mostraram que as principais emoções vivenciadas pelas pessoas são: curiosidade, ansiedade e insegurança, respectivamente. Estes sentimentos são comuns no processo de mudança, especialmente quando falamos de fusões e aquisições, pois as informações divulgadas são restritas devido à falta de definição de alguns processos. Pensando nas alternativas propostas pelo D.O, abrir mais os canais de comunicação e resgatar a confiança das pessoas são imprescindíveis para a adaptação dos colaboradores no novo ambiente de trabalho.

Este artigo avalia as percepções de funcionários do departamento comercial de uma empresa recicladora de lâmpadas fluorescentes (que, portanto, tem a RSA em seu modelo de negócio) sobre aspectos relacionados à RSC. O objetivo geral do trabalho é responder à questão: qual a percepção dos funcionários do departamento comercial de uma recicladora de lâmpadas sobre aspectos ligados à RSC sob os pontos de vista da gestão da imagem interna e externa da empresa? Para sua realização foi elaborado um estudo de caso qualitativo, que avalia a percepção de funcionários de uma empresa recicladora de lâmpadas fluorescentes sobre práticas de gestão, e verifica se estas se aproximam mais da RSA ou da RSC. O instrumento de pesquisa é um questionário, cujo link na plataforma Google Forms foi distribuído a uma amostra de conveniência (40 funcionários do departamento comercial, dos quais 29 responderam). A análise qualitativa dos dados permitiu conhecer pontos fortes e de atenção da empresa, no que se refere a RSA, RSC e práticas de gestão de pessoas, conforme percepção dos colaboradores. Os resultados analisados permitiram identificar que a empresa se aproxima mais da RSA do que da RSC, segundo funcionários do departamento comercial. Ao articular os resultados com a revisão de literatura, incluiu-se o conceito de greenwashing, que não constava do referencial teórico, mas acabou sendo identificado na interpretação dos dados. Considera-se que uma contribuição deste artigo está na diferenciação entre RSA e RSC a partir da visão de profissionais de vendas de uma empresa cujo modelo de negócio se baseia em soluções ambientalmente corretas.

Resumen: Se exploran las concepciones de géneroen la santería o regla de Ocha una religión que tieneconsecuencias culturales muy importantes en Cuba tantodesde el punto de vista étnico y racial como para lasrelaciones de género. Este trabajo analiza algunas deestas consecuencias, planteando sus implicaciones parala identidad racial afrocubana, centrándose en lascaracterísticas del sistema de género que está implícitoen las creencias y en los rituales de la santería. El trabajobosqueja las características principales de la santería yalgunos aspectos de su posible efecto en el racismo enCuba, antes de examinar el estatus de las mujeres enesta religión. Se refuta la afirmación de una investigadorade que en la sociedad yoruba tradicional no existe elconcepto de mujer como inferior que es típico delpatriarcado occidental, o de otra de que la santeríacubana es una religión de base femenina, donde lofemenino es normativo. Sin embargo, se concluye quelas concepciones occidentales de la división radical delos dos sexos en dos entidades totalmente rígidas y biendelimitadas, están ausentes en la santería.Palabras clave: religiones afro-cubanas, santería,identidad, raza, géneroAbstract: This article explores the conceptions ofgender in santería or Regla de Ocha, a religion whichhas important cultural consequences in Cuba both forracial and gender relations. It analyzes some of theseconsequences for Afro-Cuban racial identity and focuseson the gender system implicit in beliefs and rituals in santería. The text portrays the major characteristics of santería and some of its possible effects on racism in Cuba, before examining the status of women in this religion. It refutes the claim by one researcher that in traditional Yoruba society there is no concept of women as inferior as found in Western patriarchy, and that of another researcher that Cuban santería is a femalebased religion, where femininity is normative. However, it is concluded that Western conceptions of the radical split of the sexes in two rigid and well-defined entities are absent in santería.Key words: Afro-Cuban religions, santería, identity,race, gender
