“Existe uma Alagoas Colonial?” Notas preliminares sobre os conceitos de uma conquista ultramarina
Authors: Pereira Caetano Antonio Filipe 
Published: December 2017

É sabido que a região que hoje conhecemos como Alagoas pertenceu até os idos de 1817 a Capitania de Pernambuco, fazendo-se, assim, integrante ao Império Ultramarino Português. Apesar da expressão “Alagoas” ser recorrentemente utilizada para designar aquele espaço mesmo antes da sua emancipação, alguns historiadores e estudos rejeitam tanto o uso da terminologia como a própria existência de uma região constituída isolada do mundo Pernambucano. Assim, o presente artigo pretende analisar os limites e os problemas nestas interpretações, visando construir um esboço conceitual para definir, enquadrar e delimitar os territórios posteriormente conhecido como Vila das Alagoas (1817).
Um confronto literário: abolição e cidadania negra na ficção baiana da Primeira República
Authors: Souza Oliveira Marcelo 
Published: December 2017

O texto analisa como as questões que envolviam a abolição poderiam implicar em modelos de cidadania para o negro na Bahia da Primeira República. Para isto, avalio a ficção produzida por Anna Ribeiro (1843-1930) e Xavier Marques (1860-1942). Ela ex-senhora de engenho e de escravos. Ele, jornalista e abolicionista. Na literatura dela, a abolição teria sido fruto da “imprevidência da Princesa Isabel e seus Ministros”. Na prosa dele, a abolição teria sido um processo provocado por abolicionistas e negros. Ela constrói enredos e personagens que expressam o paternalismo peculiar as elites baianas. Para ele, os tipos sociais indicam que negros e mestiços teriam sido sujeitos de sua própria liberdade – e posterior cidadania. São representações e discursos distintos que indicam o lugar social daqueles que os produziu. Um confronto literário que, na ficção, discutia modelos baseados nos conceitos de raça e cidadania veiculados no decorrer do Brasil da Primeira República.
Em Nome da Segurança Nacional: Os Escritores na Mira da Polícia
Authors: Palamartchuk Ana Paula 
Published: December 2017

A existência de uma literatura “perigosa” é, em parte, criação da polícia política nos anos trinta. As trajetórias de Jorge Amado, Caio Prado Júnior e Dionélio Machado dimensionam aqui as relações entre política e literatura no processo de estruturação dos órgãos estatais de repressão e censura. A triangulação que se estabelece entre o escritor, sua produção intelectual e o seu posicionamento político tem a ver com a aquisição de um certo poder simbólico capaz de impor alguns limites às arbitrariedades da polícia política. Ao mesmo tempo em que essa mesma literatura passa a ser visada pela polícia como "perigosa", as relações sociais possíveis de serem estabelecidas pelos escritores, não num suposto mundo intelectual, mas sim nas experiências compartilhadas nas atividades político-literárias, possibilitam entender o processo de criação desta suposta "literatura comunista" e a sua criminalização.
PENYELESAIAN SENGKETA KOMPETENSI ABSOLUT ANTARA ARBITRASE DAN PENGADILAN
Authors: Memi Cut 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRAKPasal 3 Undang-Undang Arbitrase dan Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa menyatakan bahwa pengadilan negeri tidak berwenang untuk mengadili sengketa para pihak yang telah terikat dengan perjanjian arbitrase, akan tetapi sampai saat ini masih saja terdapat pertentangan kompetensi absolut antara arbitrase dan pengadilan. Sebagai contoh dan sekaligus fokus dalam pembahasan tulisan ini adalah dalam hal penanganan perkara antara PT B melawan PT CTPI. Metode yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif. Berdasarkan Putusan Nomor 10/PDT.G/2010/PN.JKT.PST, perkara ini telah diputus oleh pengadilan dengan menyatakan bahwa Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Pusat berwenang mengadili perkara bahkan putusan ini kemudian dikuatkan sampai tingkat peninjauan kembali di Mahkamah Agung berdasarkan Putusan Nomor 238 PK/PDT/2014. Sementara di pihak lain perkara ini juga diputus oleh Badan Arbitrase Nasional Indonesia (BANI) dengan Putusan Nomor 547/XI/ARB-BANI/2013 yang menyatakan bahwa BANI berwenang dalam mengadili perkara yang sama. Pertentangan kompetensi absolut antara dua lembaga tersebut tentu perlu diselesaikan dengan menentukan lembaga mana yang sebenarnya berwenang dalam menangani perkara bersangkutan. Berdasarkan kajian yang dilakukan dalam tulisan ini, diperoleh jawaban bahwa yang berwenang dalam mengadili perkara PT B melawan PT CTPI adalah BANI bukan pengadilan.Kata kunci: kompetensi absolut, arbitrase, pengadilan. ABSTRACTArticle 3 of Law on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution states that the district court is unlawful to decide dispute of parties bound by arbitration agreements, but to date, such absolute competence dispute between arbitration tribunal and court of law is still occurring. As an example, as well as the focus of discussion in this analysis is the case between PT B against PT CTPI. This study uses normative legal research methods. Based on Court Decision Number 10/PDT.G/2010/PN.JKT.PST, it was decided that the District Court of Central Jakarta has the authority to adjudicate the case. In fact, this decision is subsequently filed for an extraordinary request for review in the Supreme Court based on Court Decision Number 238 PK/PDT/2014. On the other hand, the case is also arbitrated by Indonesia National Board of Arbitration (BANI) by Arbitral Award Number 547/XI/ARB-BANI/2013 confirming its authority to adjudicate the same case. The absolute competence dispute between the two parties need to be resolved by determining which party is actually authorized in settling the case. Based on the analysis in this paper, it can be concluded that the case between PT B against PT CTPI is the authority of arbitration tribunal (BANI) to arbitrate, not court of law. Keywords: absolute competence, arbitration tribunal, court of law.
Percentage change in hemoglobin level and morbidity in spine surgery patients
Authors: Purvis Taylor E. , Goodwin C. Rory , Molina Camilo A. , Frank Steven M. , Sciubba Daniel M. 
Published: December 2017

OBJECTIVEThe aim of this study was to characterize the association between percentage change in hemoglobin (ΔHb)—i.e., the difference between preoperative Hb and in-hospital nadir Hb concentration—and perioperative adverse events among spine surgery patients.METHODSPatients who underwent spine surgery at the authors’ institution between December 4, 2008, and June 26, 2015, were eligible for this retrospective study. Patients who underwent the following procedures were included: atlantoaxial fusion, subaxial anterior cervical fusion, subaxial posterior cervical fusion, anterior lumbar fusion, posterior lumbar fusion, lateral lumbar fusion, excision of intervertebral disc, and excision of spinal cord lesion. Data on intraoperative transfusion were obtained from an automated, prospectively collected, anesthesia data management system. Data on postoperative hospital transfusions were obtained through an Internet-based intelligence portal. Percentage ΔHb was defined as: ([preoperative Hb − nadir Hb]/preoperative Hb) × 100. Clinical outcomes included in-hospital morbidity and length of stay associated with percentage ΔHb.RESULTSA total of 3949 patients who underwent spine surgery were identified. Of these, 1204 patients (30.5%) received at least 1 unit of packed red blood cells. The median nadir Hb level was 10.6 g/dl (interquartile range 8.7–12.4 g/dl), yielding a mean percentage ΔHb of 23.6% (SD 15.4%). Perioperative complications occurred in 234 patients (5.9%) and were more common in patients with a larger percentage ΔHb (p = 0.017). Hospital-related infection, which occurred in 60 patients (1.5%), was also more common in patients with greater percentage ΔHb (p = 0.001).CONCLUSIONSPercentage ΔHb is independently associated with a higher risk of developing any perioperative complication and hospital-related infection. The authors’ results suggest that percentage ΔHb may be a useful measure for identifying patients at risk for adverse perioperative events.

Abstract
We report on g-, r-, and i-band observations of the Interstellar Object 1I/‘Oumuamua (1I) taken on 2017 October 29 from 04:28 to 08:40 UTC by the Apache Point Observatory (APO) 3.5 m telescope’s ARCTIC camera. We find that 1I’s colors are

and

, consistent with visible spectra and most comparable to the population of solar system C/D asteroids, Trojans, or comets. We find no evidence of any cometary activity at a heliocentric distance of 1.46 au, approximately 1.5 months after 1I’s closest approach distance to the Sun. Significant brightness variability was seen in the r observations, with the object becoming notably brighter toward the end of the run. By combining our APO photometric time series data with the Discovery Channel Telescope data of Knight et al., taken 20 hr later on 2017 October 30, we construct an almost complete lightcurve with a most probable single-peaked lightcurve period of

. Our results imply a double-peaked rotation period of 8.1 ± 0.02 hr, with a peak-to-trough amplitude of 1.5–2.1 mag. Assuming that 1I’s shape can be approximated by an ellipsoid, the amplitude constraint implies that 1I has an axial ratio of 3.5–10.3, which is strikingly elongated. Assuming that 1I is rotating above its critical break up limit, our results are compatible with 1I having modest cohesive strength and may have obtained its elongated shape during a tidal distortion event before being ejected from its home system.

Published: December 2017

Fungi play crucial roles in ecosystems and are among the species-richest organism groups on Earth. However, knowledge on their occurrence lags behind the data for animals and plants. Recent analyses of fungal occurrence data from Western, Central and Northern Europe provided important insights into response of fungi to global warming. The consequences of the global changes for biodiversity on a larger geographical scale are not yet understood. Landscapes of Eastern Europe and particularly of eastern Ukraine, with their specific geological history, vegetation and climate, can add substantially new information about fungal diversity in Europe.
We describe the dataset and provide a checklist of aphyllophoroid fungi (non-gilled macroscopic Basidiomycota) from eastern Ukraine sampled in 16 areas between 2007 and 2011. The dataset was managed on the PlutoF biodiversity workbench (http://dx.doi.org/10.15156/BIO/587471) and can also be accessed via Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, parts of datasets https://doi.org/10.15468/kuspj6 and https://doi.org/10.15468/h7qtfd). This dataset includes 3418 occurences, namely 2727 specimens and 691 observations of fructifications belonging to 349 species of fungi. With these data, the digitised CWU herbarium (V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine) doubled in size A most detailed description of the substrate's properties and habitat for each record is provided. The specimen records are supplemented by 26 nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS sequences and six 28S sequences. Additionally, 287 photographs depicting diagnostic macro- and microscopic features of fungal fruitbodies as well as studied habitats are linked to the dataset. Most of the specimens have at least one mention in literature and relevant references are displayed as associated with specimen data. In total, 16 publication references are linked to the dataset. The dataset sheds new light on the fungal diversity of Eastern Europe. It is expected to complement other public sources of fungal occurrence information on continental and global levels in addressing macroecological and biogeographical questions.
Analysis of beta-lactamases, bla NDM-1 phylogeny & plasmid replicons in multidrug-resistant Klebsiella spp. from a tertiary care centre in south India
Authors: Nithya N. , Remitha Rabindran , Jayasree P. R. , Faisal M. , Manish Kumar P. R. 
Published: December 2017

Background & objectives:
β-lactamases play a predominant role in drug-resistance amongst Enterobacteriaceae. Presence of genes on transferable plasmids encoding these enzymes favours their dissemination across species and genera within and outside geographical boundaries. This study was aimed to understand the presence of β-lactamases and transferable plasmids in clinical isolates of Klebsiella spp. which can contribute to the spread of resistance determinants.

Methods:
A total of 41 clinical isolates of Klebsiella spp., collected from a tertiary care centre in Kerala, India, were checked for antibiotic sensitivity and the presence of plasmids. The ability to produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) was screened for and confirmed in 29 plasmid-harbouring isolates. bla
NDM-1-specific primers were used for polymerase chain reaction amplification with plasmid DNA as template to determine episomal prevalence of this gene and its sequence-based phylogeny employing similar sequences from GenBank. Plasmid replicon typing was also carried out to determine the presence of transferable plasmids.

Results:
Our results showed a high degree of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens with ESBL production confirmed in 52 per cent, MBL in 31 per cent and co-production of both enzymes in seven per cent of the plasmid-bearing isolates. Plasmid DNA from 14 per cent of the isolates produced bla
NDM-1-specific amplicons which showed sequence homology with those from bacteria of different genera and geographical areas. The predominant replicon type was found to be that of conjugative plasmids belonging to the incompatibility group - IncFIIK.

Interpretation & conclusions:
This study provides insight into the predominance of various β-lactamases and potent gene-disseminating agents in Klebsiella spp. and emphasizes the need for constant surveillance of these pathogens to determine appropriate treatment strategies.
Speciation, clinical profile & antibiotic resistance in Aeromonas species isolated from cholera-like illnesses in a tertiary care hospital in north India
Authors: Mohan Balvinder , Sethuraman Nandini , Verma Ritu , Taneja Neelam 
Published: December 2017

Background & objectives:

Aeromonas species have been reported to cause various illnesses in humans such as wound infections, septicaemia, peritonitis and pneumonia. Their role in causation of cholera-like illness is also being increasingly recognized. This retrospective study was done to know the presence of Aeromonas as a cause of acute diarrhoea in a tertiary care hospital and to find the common species of Aeromonas causing diarrhoea and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns.

Methods:
Fifty isolates of Aeromonas were obtained over a period of 15 yr from 2000 to 2014 from patients of suspected acute gastroenteritis resembling cholera. Biotyping was done for 35 of these isolates available in culture collection, based on a panel of 13 biochemical reactions. Antibiogram was put up for all of these isolates by disk diffusion methods and interpreted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines.

Results:
Of the 50 patients of Aeromonas-related acute gastroenteritis, 13 (26%) had typical features of cholera with rice water stools and severe dehydration. Eight patients (16%) had dysentery-like picture. One patient died of severe dehydration and septicaemia. The most common species were found to be Aeromonas caviae (34%) followed by Aeromonas veronii biovar veronii (29%), Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria (26%) and Aeromonas hydrophila (9%). All tested isolates were uniformly susceptible to cefepime, amikacin, azithromycin and meropenem; 14 per cent were susceptible to amoxicillin, 32 per cent to nalidixic acid, 60 per cent to co-trimoxazole, 54 per cent to ciprofloxacin, 60 per cent to ofloxacin, 74 per cent to chloramphenicol, 76 per cent to ceftriaxone, 74 per cent to cefotaxime, 88 per cent to gentamicin and 86 per cent to furoxone.

Interpretation & conclusions:

Aeromonas is an important, often neglected pathogen capable of causing a variety of gastrointestinal tract symptoms such as acute diarrhoea and dysentery and may even mimic cholera. It is, therefore, pertinent to recognize this pathogen as an important agent in the causation of severe diarrhoea.
Staphylococcus aureus biofilm removal by targeting biofilm-associated extracellular proteins
Authors: Shukla Sudhir K. , Rao T. Subba 
Published: December 2017

Background & objectives:
Among cell surface proteins, biofilm-associated protein (Bap) promotes biofilm development in Staphylococcus aureus strains. The aim of this study was to investigate proteinase-mediated biofilm dispersion in different isolates of S. aureus.

Methods:
Biofilm assay was done in 96-well microtitre plate to evaluate the effect of proteinase K on biofilms of bovine mastitis S. Aureus isolates. Extracellular polymeric substances were extracted and evaluated for their composition (protein, polysaccharides and extracellular DNA), before and after the proteinase K treatment.

Results:
Biofilm assay showed that 2 µg/ml proteinase K significantly inhibited biofilm development in bap-positive S. aureus V329 as well as other S. aureus isolates (SA7, SA10, SA33, SA352), but not in bap-mutant M556 and SA392 (a weak biofilm-producing strain). Proteinase K treatment on S. aureus planktonic cells showed that there was no inhibition of planktonic growth up to 32 µg/ml of proteinase K. Proteinase K treatment on 24 h old preformed biofilms showed an enhanced dispersion of bap-positive V329 and SA7, SA10, SA33 and SA352 biofilms; however, proteinase K did not affect the bap-mutant S. aureus M556 and SA392 biofilms. Biofilm compositions study before and after proteinase K treatment indicated that Bap might also be involved in eDNA retention in the biofilm matrix that aids in biofilm stability. When proteinase K was used in combination with antibiotics, a synergistic effect in antibiotic efficacy was observed against all biofilm-forming S. aureus isolates.

Interpretation & conclusions:
Proteinase K inhibited biofilms growth in S. aureus bovine mastitis isolates but did not affect their planktonic growth. An enhanced dispersion of preformed S. aureus biofilms was observed on proteinase K treatment. Proteinase K treatment with antibiotics showed a synergistic effect against S. aureus biofilms. The study suggests that dispersing S. aureus by protease can be of use while devising strategies against S. aureus biofilms.
Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis infections by polymerase chain reaction in asymptomatic pregnant women with special reference to the utility of the pooling of urine specimens
Authors: Sethi Sunil , Roy Amit , Garg Shubha , Venkatesan Lakshmi Sree , Bagga Rashmi 
Published: December 2017

Background & objectives:
Genital Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections are one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections across the world. In pregnant women, if not detected and treated early, these may result in poor pregnancy outcomes and complications. The present study was aimed to screen CT infections from first void urine (FVU) samples of asymptomatic pregnant women using molecular methods. The secondary objective was to evaluate cost-effectiveness in pooling FVU samples for their diagnostic application.

Methods:
FVU samples were collected from 1000 asymptomatic pregnant women over a period of three years. Pooling was done by including five specimens in one pool in the amount of 10 µl and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and further confirmed by direct fluorescent antibody assay (DFA).

Results:
The age of study participants ranged from 18 to 43 yr with the median±standard deviation of 26±3.84 yr. Majority of positive participants were younger than 25 years. A total of 200 pools were prepared and 20 of these were PCR positive. When individual specimen in 20 positive pools was tested, 20 PCR-positive specimens were identified from 19 pools, of which 16 were positive by DFA. Thus, CT was detected in 1.6 per cent asymptomatic pregnant women in India and pooling strategy resulted in 70 per cent reduction in a number of tests performed.

Interpretation & conclusions:
Our study detected C. trachomatis infection in 1.6 per cent asymptomatic pregnant women, and pooling of FVU specimens for PCR testing was found to be a cost-saving strategy in comparison to testing individual samples. Further evaluation and studies on the bigger sample size are warranted to validate these results.
