Objetivo: Identificar os significados atribuídos por profissionais de saúde acerca da notificação de violência contra a mulher e sua prática em um município no interior da Bahia. Método: Estudo qualitativo, realizado por meio de entrevista com sete profissionais representantes dos serviços de saúde do município.Os dados foram sistematizados conforme a análise de Bardin. Resultados: Os profissionais significam a notificação de violência enquanto um procedimento obrigatório, que dá visibilidade ao agravo e orienta ações para seu enfrentamento. Todavia a notificação desse agravo não vem sendo uma prática no âmbito do município. Discussão: É essencial se pensar estratégias que viabilizem mudanças nesse cenário, incentivando a prática da notificação. Conclusão: É imprescíndivel se repensar a formação dos profissioanias a partir da inserção da temática durante a graduação dos cursos de saúde e a educação permanente.

Beyond Versailles: Recovering the Voices of Nurses in Post–World War I U.S.-European Relations
Authors: Irwin Julia F. 
Published: August 2015

AbstractFrom late 1918 to 1922, the American Red Cross (ARC) enlisted roughly six hundred American nurses and scores of female auxiliary staff to labor in post–World War I continental Europe, Russia, and the Near East, mostly stationed in Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Balkan states, and Siberia. The ARC nurses ran health clinics, made home visits, and opened nurse training schools. Close readings of letters, diaries, official reports, and published articles help recover the place of these women in postwar European history and the history of U.S. foreign relations. Their writings reveal their perceptions about eastern European and Russian politics and culture, their assumptions about the proper U.S. role in the region’s affairs, and their efforts to influence popular U.S. discourse on these topics. This article argues that American nurses and support staff are central—yet neglected—players in the history of U.S.-European affairs. Through its bottom-up approach, it offers a more personal and intimate perspective on the history of U.S. international relations during this time.
Midwife and Public Health Nurse Tatsuyo Amari and a State-Endorsed Birth Control Campaign in 1950s Japan
Authors: Homei Aya 
Published: August 2015

AbstractMrs. Tatsuyo Amari, a qualified midwife and nurse, served Japan’s state-endorsed birth control campaign as a “birth control field instructor” in rural Minamoto Village of Yamanashi Prefecture just west of Tokyo. Her work sheds light on the role of female health-care workers in health and population governance in 1950s Japan. Amari not only facilitated the “top-down” transfer of the state-sanctioned idea of birth control and contraceptives, as did other birth control field instructors, but also enabled the “bottom-up” flow of knowledge about people’s reproductive lives through her participation in the policy-oriented birth control research called the “three model-village study.” Contextualizing Amari’s engagement with the study elucidates how the state relied on the established role of female health-care workers as intermediaries between the state and the people. Finally, Amari’s contribution to the scientific aspect of the campaign may motivate historians to recognize the politics around the participation of female health-care workers in the science of birth control.
Use of Fractal Analysis for the Discrimination of Trabecular Changes Between Individuals With Healthy Gingiva or Moderate Periodontitis

Published: August 2015

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the capability of fractal analysis to discriminate the changes in the trabecular structure of interdental bone between individuals with healthy gingiva or moderate periodontitis using digital images.Methods: Two groups of patients were included according to the probing depth, bleeding on probing, and clinical attachment level. The first group (n = 50) consisted of individuals with healthy gingiva, whereas the other group consisted of patients with moderate periodontitis (n = 50). Periapical images obtained with a storage phosphor plate system during clinical examination were used for the fractal dimension (FD) calculations. Two rectangular regions of interest (ROIs) were placed at mandibular posterior interdental bone areas. The mean of the two ROIs was used to calculate mean FD by using the box‐counting method. Student t test was used for the comparison of the FDs of the two groups (P = 0.05).Results: The mean FD of patients with periodontitis was 0.83, whereas it was 1.02 for the patients with healthy gingiva. A significant difference was obtained in the mean FD values of healthy individuals and patients with moderate periodontitis (P <0.05).Conclusion: Fractal analysis can quantitatively discriminate the trabecular integrity alterations induced by periodontitis and therefore can be recommended for the diagnosis and monitoring of changes in trabecular architecture associated with periodontitis.

Published: August 2015

Background: This study aims to investigate the effects of the local application of doxycycline in the form of natrosol‐based gel on bone regeneration by examining critical defects in rat calvaria.Methods: Twenty‐four rats were randomly divided into three groups with eight animals each, according to the treatment received: BC (untreated, filled with blood clot), NAT (natrosol gel alone), and DOX (10% doxycycline gel). Four animals from each group were euthanized at 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively. In tomographic analysis, mean density in the region of the defect was calculated as a percentage relative to the native bone density. In histomorphometric analysis, the newly formed bone area was calculated as a percentage of the total area. The values obtained underwent analysis of variance and Tukey testing (P <0.05).Results: The mean percentage of tomographic density in the region of the defect at the end of 8 weeks was higher for DOX (44.37%), and statistical differences in this period were observed between DOX and NAT (33.10%) and DOX and BC (32.43%). Regarding new bone formation, at the end of 8 weeks, DOX (61.11%) also had the highest mean bone formation, and statistical differences were observed between DOX and NAT (34.61%) and DOX and BC (23.11%).Conclusion: It was observed that 10% doxycycline gel had a good effect on bone regeneration regarding the filling of critical defects in rat calvaria.
Relative Composition of Fibrous Connective and Fatty/Glandular Tissue in Connective Tissue Grafts Depends on the Harvesting Technique but not the Donor Site of the Hard Palate

Published: August 2015

Background: Whether the composition of palatal connective tissue grafts (CTGs) varies depending on donor site or harvesting technique in terms of relative amounts of fibrous connective tissue (CT) and fatty/glandular tissue (FGT) is currently unknown and is histologically assessed in the present study.Methods: In 10 fresh human cadavers, tissue samples were harvested in the anterior and posterior palate and in areas close to (marginal) and distant from (apical) the mucosal margin. Mucosal thickness, lamina propria thickness (defined as the extent of subepithelial portion of the biopsy containing ≤25% or ≤50% FGT), and proportions of CT and FGT were semi‐automatically estimated for the entire mucosa and for CTGs virtually harvested by split‐flap (SF) preparation minimum 1 mm deep or after deepithelialization (DE).Results: Palatal mucosal thickness, ranging from 2.35 to 6.89 mm, and histologic composition showed high interindividual variability. Lamina propria thickness (P >0.21) and proportions of CT (P = 0.48) and FGT (P = 0.15) did not differ significantly among the donor sites (anterior, posterior, marginal, apical). However, thicker palatal tissue was associated with higher FGT content (P <0.01) and thinner lamina propria (P ≤0.03). Independent of the donor site, DE‐harvested CTG contained a significantly higher proportion of CT and a lower proportion of FGT than an SF‐harvested CTG (P <0.04).Conclusion: Despite high interindividual variability in terms of relative tissue composition in the hard palate, DE‐harvested CTG contains much larger amounts of CT and much lower amounts of FGT than SF‐harvested CTG, irrespective of the harvesting site.
CEO Narcissism and Corporate Tax Sheltering
Authors: Olsen Kari Joseph , Stekelberg James 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACT
We examine the effect of CEO narcissism on an especially aggressive form of corporate tax avoidance: tax sheltering. Narcissism is a multifaceted personality trait associated with a sense of superiority and a propensity to engage in questionable behavior. Narcissists feel that they are above the law and are aggressive in pursuing what they believe is theirs. Narcissists also possess heightened motivations to pursue rewards or desirable outcomes while only being weakly motivated to avoid negative outcomes. Consistent with these behavioral tendencies of narcissistic individuals, we document statistically and economically significant effects of CEO narcissism on the likelihood that the CEO's firm engages in corporate tax shelters. Our study contributes to the literature by documenting a mechanism through which the individual personality characteristics of the CEO can affect firm-level tax policies.

Smoothness and the Value Relevance of Taxable Income
Authors: Mayberry Michael A. , McGuire Sean T. , Omer Thomas C. 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACT
This study investigates whether the smoothness of estimated taxable income influences its value relevance. Contrary to research that finds that smoothness enhances the value relevance of book income, we find that smoothness reduces the value relevance of taxable income. We decompose the smoothness of taxable income into its innate and discretionary components and find that innate smoothness is not associated with the value relevance of taxable income. However, we find that discretionary smoothness is associated with a reduction in taxable income's value relevance, suggesting that discretionary smoothness either eliminates or reduces the information contained in taxable income. In additional analysis, we find that discretionary smoothness is also associated with higher levels of future tax avoidance, consistent with managers smoothing taxable income as part of their tax avoidance strategy. In combination, our results suggest that the reduced value relevance of estimated taxable income is a byproduct of managers' tax-planning strategy.

Going Cloud for Agility: Beyond Financial, System, and Control Motives
Authors: Du Hui , Cong Yu 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACT
Using a unique dataset obtained from cloud computing providers' websites, we study cloud computing from the cloud users' perspective. While cloud computing providers promise various benefits for companies to “go cloud,” whether user companies are motivated by the potential benefits is a different matter. Although existing IT outsourcing literature and the latest cloud computing research suggest financial, system, and control as three main motives for companies to go cloud, MIS literature and business strategy studies point out the agility of quick system deployment as another significant consideration. We examine these four categories of motives, along with more detailed key motives developed in each category. Our results indicate that companies are motivated by multifold benefits in all four aspects of agility, financial, system, and control. However, despite various benefits promised by cloud computing providers, from the cloud computing users' perspective, the agility of quick system deployment and saving on costs appear to be the two primary motives.

Independent Association Between Improvement of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Reduced Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Yamazaki Hajime , Tsuboya Toru , Tsuji Kunihiko , Dohke Mitsuru , Maguchi Hiroyuki 
Published: August 2015

OBJECTIVE
Only a few studies have evaluated the long-term effects of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and none have examined whether NAFLD improvement reduces T2DM incidence. We investigated the association between NAFLD improvement and T2DM incidence.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Between 2000 and 2012, 4,604 participants who underwent a health check twice with &gt;10 years between were enrolled. Exclusion criteria were positive hepatitis B surface antigen, positive hepatitis C antibody, ethanol intake &gt;20 g/day, and diabetes. The 3,074 eligible participants were divided into an NAFLD group (n = 728) and a non-NAFLD group (n = 2,346) according to ultrasonography-detected fatty liver. The NAFLD group was categorized into an improved group (n = 110) and a sustained NAFLD group (n = 618) based on fatty liver disappearance at the second visit. Incident T2DM odds ratios (ORs) were estimated by logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, BMI, impaired fasting glucose, family history of diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and physical exercise.

RESULTS
T2DM occurred in 117 participants (16.1%) in the NAFLD group and 72 (3.1%) in the non-NAFLD group. NAFLD at baseline was associated with T2DM incidence (multivariate OR 2.37 [95% CI 1.60–3.52]). T2DM occurred in 7 participants (6.4%) in the improved group and in 110 (17.8%) in the sustained NAFLD group. NAFLD improvement was associated with reduced T2DM incidence (multivariate OR 0.27 [95% CI 0.12–0.61]).

CONCLUSIONS
NAFLD improvement is associated with T2DM incidence reduction.
Planning the Future: The Conserver Society and Canadian Sustainability
Authors: Trim Henry 
Published: August 2015

Abstract: Canadian scholars know by heart the exhortation to think globally and act locally. Fewer, however, are familiar with the expansion of scientific knowledge and state policy that made it possible to think of the world as a global system and act on those beliefs. This article explores this interplay of scientific expertise, state power, and environmental politics by analyzing the Science Council of Canada (scc)'s “conserver society” of the 1970s. My research reveals how the scc, a Crown corporation, became a key player in Canadian environmentalism when it used the oil crisis and the Trudeau government's rationalizing reforms as an excuse to pioneer alternative development and to help Canadians grapple with the challenge of long-term sustainability. The article asserts that state experts played a central role in the construction of early forms of sustainability. Their efforts also highlight the multifaceted character of sustainable development as it promised to catalyze national growth, social change, and scientific achievement even as it protected Canadians' ecological future.
Glacier-specific elevation changes in parts of western Alaska
Authors: Le Bris R. , Paul F. 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThe meltwater from glaciers in Alaska contributes strongly to global sea-level rise, but accurate determination is challenging as only two comparatively small glaciers have long-term measurements of annual mass balance (Gulkana and Wolverine). Simple upscaling of their values to the entire region is error-prone as their representativeness is unknown and might be biased. Alternatively, differencing digital elevation models (DEMs) from two epochs provides overall volume changes for a longer period of time that can be converted to mass changes using appropriate density assumptions. Here we combine outlines from two glacier inventories to determine glacier-specific elevation changes over a 50 year period for 3180 glaciers in western Alaska using DEM differencing. This allows us to determine the representativeness of the land-terminating Gulkana and Wolverine Glaciers for the entire region and to exclude calving glaciers (marine and lacustrine) from the sample. Mean changes for all land-terminating, lake-terminating and tidewater glaciers are –0.23 ± 0.44, –0.63 ± 0.40 and –0.64 ± 0.66 m a–1, respectively, and –0.7 and –0.6 m a–1 for the two mass-balance or benchmark glaciers. Thus fortuitously their changes better represent calving glaciers and the overall mean (–0.63 ± 1.14 m a–1) than the change of land-terminating glaciers, i.e. they are not representative for their own type. Different methods of considering potential DEM artefacts provide variable mean changes but the same general result.

Published: August 2015

Backgraound: Open appendectomy (OA) has been the treatment of choice for acute appendicitis since its introduction by Mc-burney in 1884. Laparoscopic appendectomy(LA) though widely practiced, has not gained universal approval. LA was first described in 1983. Some early studies showed equivocal results about benefit of LA. Recent studies showed overall benefit in favour of LA. So far no such a large study was done in any Bangladeshi hospital. So, we decided to do this study with a view to evaluate the therapeutic benefit of LA by comparing with conventional OA.Materials and methods: We collected data of 763 appendectomies done in Jahurul Islam medical college hospital from July 2007 to June 2012 for a period of 5 years. Out of them 448 had conventional OA and 315 had LA. We compared the mean operation time, time of first oral feeding, narcotic analgesic requirement, duration of post operative hospital stay.Results: We found that mean operation time was 33±5.8 minute and 37± 7.5 minute in LA and OA respectively. Duration of post operative hospital stay was 1.2 days shorter in Laparoscopic group. LA required 1.1 shots of less analgesic than OA. Oral feeding was resumed 21 hours earlier following LA compared to OA. Laparoscpic appendectomy was safely performed in paediatric patient without any adverse effect. We also found that, in female patient, concurrent ovarian cysts, tubal pregnancy and endometriosis can be diagnosed and managed laparoscopically in the same sitting.Conclusion: Our study found that laparoscopic appendectomy is an effective and safe procedure irrespective of age and sex of the patient. LA has added advantage of early return of bowel movement, less post-op hospital stay and less requirement of narcotic analgesic.
Clinical Outcomes and Capsular Bag Stability of a Four-Point Haptic Bitoric Intraocular Lens
Authors: Kretz Florian T. A. , Breyer Detlev , Klabe Karsten , Auffarth Gerd U. , Kaymak Hakan 
Published: August 2015

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the visual, refractive, and aberrometric outcomes of a bitoric intraocular lens (IOL) and its stability and alignment within the capsular bag.

METHODS:
A retrospective study including 41 eyes of 24 patients with preexisting corneal astigmatism of 0.75 diopters or greater undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of the bitoric IOL AT TORBI 709M (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). Visual and refractive outcomes were evaluated during a 3-month follow-up period. The misalignment between intended and real axis and the levels of corneal, internal, and ocular aberrations (KR-1W; Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) were also evaluated.

RESULTS:
A total of 76% and 97% of eyes had a postoperative spherical equivalent within ±0.50 and ±1.00 diopters of emmetropia, respectively. Likewise, a total of 86% and 95% of eyes had a postoperative absolute value of refractive cylinder of 0.50 or less and 1.00 or less diopters, respectively. Mean postoperative corrected distance visual acuity was 0.00 logMAR (20/20 Snellen). Mean values of postoperative monocular and binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity were 0.10 and 0.00 logMAR (20/25 and 20/20 Snellen), respectively. The aberrometric analysis confirmed that the magnitude of ocular higher-order aberrations was mainly due to corneal optics and that the corneal astigmatism correction was sufficient with the toric IOL. Mean absolute IOL misalignment was 3.5° with values ranging from 0° to 10°.

CONCLUSIONS:
The bitoric IOL AT TORBI 709M is able to provide a predictable correction of corneal astigmatism with low postoperative levels of ocular higher-order aberrations.
