description: Craniofacial defects (CFD) are a significant healthcare problem worldwide. Understanding both the morphogenetic movements which underpin normal facial development, as well as the molecular factors which regulate these processes, forms the cornerstone of future diagnostic, and ultimately, preventative therapies. The soluble morphogen Sonic hedgehog (Shh), a vertebrate orthologue of Drosophila hedgehog, is a key signalling factor in the regulation of craniofacial skeleton development in vertebrates, operating within numerous tissue types in the craniofacial primordia to spatiotemporally regulate the formation of the face and jaws. This review will provide an overview of normal craniofacial skeleton development, and focus specifically on the known roles of Shh in regulating the development and progression of the first pharyngeal arch, which in turn gives rise to both the upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible).

description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes (30-150 nm) and microvesicles (100-1500 nm), play important roles in mediating cell-cell communication. Such particles package distinct cargo elements, including lipids, proteins, mRNAs, microRNAs, and DNA, that vary depending on the cell of origin and its phenotype. This cargo can be horizontally transferred to target cells where its components can reprogram the recipient cell to modify its function. EVs have been identified within the uterine cavity of women, sheep, and mice, where they contribute to the microenvironment of sperm transport, and of blastocyst and endometrial preparation for implantation. It is likely that exosomes and microvesicles carry different cargo and coordinate different roles in this intrauterine environment. Understanding and defining these subtypes of EVs is important for future functional studies and clinical translation. Here we critically review the various purification and validation procedures for extracellular vesicle analysis and discuss what is known of endometrial-derived exosome cargo and of their hormonal regulation. The current knowledge of the functions of uterine exosomes, with respect to sperm transport and function, and of their actions on trophectodermal cells to promote implantation are summarized and evaluated in their physiological context. Given the potential importance of this form of cell-cell interactions within the reproductive tract, the critical issues discussed will guide new insights in this rapidly expanding field.

description: Both rational choice theory and biopolitics are extremely important paradigms in the social sciences - including political science. It would seem that their basic axioms contradict each other because the influence of biopolitical power microstructures excludes sovereign and autonomous decision-making processes. Thus, the paper adopts the hypothesis that the assumptions of biopolitics falsify the basic axioms of rational choice theory, and therefore we can consider it as the antithesis of rational choice theory. In order to verify the hypothesis, the method of content analysis was applied - with particular emphasis on studies concerning both paradigms and primary sources supported by elements of comparative studies. On the basis of the analyses carried out, it was proved that the assumptions of both paradigms do not have to contradict each other - they may even be complementary. Human actions based on the principle of rationality and self-interest can be justified by the actions of biopolitics, and therefore the hypothesis has been falsified.

description: Background: Physical inactivity is associated with poor outcomes in COPD, and as a result, interventions to improve physical activity (PA) are a current research focus. However, many trials have been small and inconclusive. Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to study the effects of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) targeting PA in COPD. Methods: Databases (Physiotherapy Evidence Database [PEDro], Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials) were searched using the following keywords: “COPD”, “intervention” and “physical activity” from inception to May 20, 2016; published RCTs that aimed to increase PA in individuals with COPD were included. The PEDro scale was used to rate study quality. Standardized mean differences (effect sizes, ESs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined. Effects of included interventions were also measured according to the minimal important difference (MID) in daily steps for COPD (599 daily steps). Results: A total of 37 RCTs with 4,314 participants (mean forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) % predicted 50.5 [SD=10.4]) were identified. Interventions including exercise training (ET; n=3 studies, 103 participants) significantly increased PA levels in COPD compared to standard care (ES [95% CI]; 0.84 [0.44–1.25]). The addition of activity counseling to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR; n=4 studies, 140 participants) showed important effects on PA levels compared to PR alone (0.47 [0.02–0.92]), achieving significant increases that exceeded the MID for daily steps in COPD (mean difference [95% CI], 1,452 daily steps [549–2,356]). Reporting of methodological quality was poor in most included RCTs. Conclusion: Interventions that included ET and PA counseling during PR were effective strategies to improve PA in COPD.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors
Immune-related adverse events

description: Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) play a crucial role in treating various cancers. While ICIs are invaluable in the fight against different cancers, they also pose the risk of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which can range widely in symptoms and severity. Rheumatologic complications, including digital ischemia, are among the irAEs. While rare, they require early detection for effective management. The aim of the study is to present a case report on digital ischemia related to immunotherapy and to conduct a literature review on relevant cases. Case presentation: We present a case involving a patient from our oncology department who developed, pericarditis, digital ischemia and anti-centromere antibodies during immunotherapy with pembrolizumab for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We collaborated with our rheumatology department to initiate treatment, including corticosteroids, iloprost, and mycophenolate mofetil. Through the follow-up, the patient showed clinical improvement.Literature review: A literature review identified only 10 relevant articles, highlighting the rarity of digital ischemia as an irAE. Corticosteroids and vasodilators were commonly used treatments, with amputation unavoidable in 40% of cases.Conclusion: IrAEs are becoming more common due to the widespread use of ICIs. For this reason, it is crucial to diagnose and treat rare IrAEs, such as digital ischemia, as early as possible to improve outcomes.

description: Question: Do long-term (> 3 months) home or community-based exercise programs improve function, reduce falls and prevent hospital readmissions in older people with cognitive impairment? Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised, controlled trials. Electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, Embase, AMED) were searched from the earliest date possible until March 2016. Participants: Older adults (≥ 65 years) with cognitive impairment living in the community. Intervention: Supervised home or community-based exercise programs longer than 3 months. Outcome measures: The primary outcomes were function (including balance and activities of daily living), falls and hospital readmissions. Results: Of 1011 studies identified, seven trials with 945 participants met the inclusion criteria. Compared with no intervention, long-term exercise programs improved functional independence in basic activities of daily living by a moderate and significant amount (SMD 0.77, 95% CI 0.17 to 1.37, I2 = 67%), and improved functional independence in instrumental activities of daily living by a small and significant amount (SMD 0.44, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.86, I2 = 42%). Long-term exercise improved balance (mean difference in functional reach test 5.2 cm, 95% CI 0.5 to 9.9, I2 = 76%). Data from two individual trials suggest that long-term exercise programs also reduce falls in older people with cognitive impairment. However, there was limited reporting of the effect of exercise on hospital readmissions for this group of people. Conclusions: Long-term home and community-based exercise programs improve function in older adults living in the community with cognitive impairment. Review registration: PROSPERO CRD42015029602.

description: In this cumulative habilitation thesis, carbohydrate-based ionic liquids and salts (CHILS) have been investigated as a novel group of molecules that combine the properties of ionic liquids and carbohydrates. Over the course of the 11 publications that are included in this thesis, several different types of CHILS from glucosamine, ribose, glucose and other sugars have been synthesized with high yields and flexible functionalisations. Glucosyl imidazolium salts have been found to exhibit a high biocomtability and a broad field of potential applications in hydrogels, biocatalysis and more.
Da ‘levatrice della storia’ a variabile della modernità. Prospettive sociologiche sul tema della violenza, da Marx fino all’Olocausto e ai mattatoi

description: Il tema dell’articolo è il rapporto fra modernità e violenza nel pensiero sociologico. Si propone una ricostruzione dei principali contributi, a partire dall’analisi marxista della violenza quale ‘levatrice della storia’ fino a quella baumaniana riguardante l’Olocausto quale paradigma della modernità: ad un estremo, dunque, la violenza come processo fondante la modernità, all’altro la modernità come condizione necessaria per lo sviluppo di una specifica nuova forma di violenza. Fra tali due poli, una serie di riflessioni riassumibili in una dicotomia di fondo: da una parte quanti contrappongono processo di modernizzazione e permanenza della violenza (Elias, Pinker, Touraine); dall’altra coloro che vedono una correlazione fra esse (Foucault, Francofortesi). Nell’ultima parte, infine, viene considerato un particolare tipo di violenza, quello nei confronti degli animali non-umani, sottovalutato in letteratura, e le cui caratteristiche assumono dinamiche tipicamente ‘moderniste’.

The article focuses on the relation between modernity and violence in sociological tradition. We propose a reconstruction of main contributions, from Marxist analysis of violence as the ‘midwife of history’ until Bauman’s work about Holocaust as paradigm of modernity: at the one side violence as a foundational process of modernity, at the other modernity as necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the development of a new specific form of ‘modernist’ violence. Between these two extremities, a number of reflections that can be summed up in a general dichotomy: those who counterpose modernization process and permanence of violence (Elias, Pinker, Touraine); and those who see a correlation of these two elements (Foucault, Frankfurt School). Then, in the last part of the article, we consider a specific form of violence, toward non-human animals, underestimated in literature, and whose characteristics assume typical dynamics of modernity.

«Apocalipsa după Ştefan»: violenţă şi ritual în Moldova lui Ştefan cel Mare

description: În acest articol este reluată problema asumării de către domnul moldovean, Ştefan cel Mare, a ipostazei de ‘Ultim Împărat’ din tradiţia apocaliptică bizantină. Ca punct de plecare este luată Cronica de curte în care sunt narate scene de o cruzime inegalabilă (masacre ale populaţiei civile, ale prizonierilor, mutilări etc.), cu elemente de violenţă ritualică care au fost operate în cadrul războiului purtat cu otomanii (1473-1486). Analizând izvoarele, autorul ajunge la concluzia că aceste fapte au fost nu doar inspirate de textele veterotestamentare (Deuteronom) şi tradiţia apocaliptică (Apocalipsa lui Pseudo-Methodie din Patara şi Viziunile lui Pseudo-Daniel), dar şi urmate pas cu pas într-un mod programatic. Astfel, violenţa demonstrativă la adresa inamicilor şi ‘renegaţilor’ Creştinătăţii, ca o caracteristică a ‘războiului final’, trebuie privită ca parte a unui amplu cod cultural, în care se anunţa demararea scenariului apocaliptic şi Sfârşitul Lumii.
In this paper the author questions the issue related to the idea that Stephen the Great, prince of Moldavia, assumed the messianic hypostasis of the ‘Last Emperor’ announced in the eschatological byzantine tradition. The starting point of his analysis is the official Moldavian Chronicle. Where scenes of unparalleled cruelty (such as massacres of civilians, of prisoners, mutilations etc.) were narrated with some elements of ritual violence that have been produced during the war against the Ottomans (1473-1486). Analyzing the sources the author concludes that those facts were not only inspired by the text of the Old Testament (Deuteronomy) and apocalyptic tradition (Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius and Pseudo-Daniel’s Visions), but also was closely followed step by step in a programmatic manner. The demonstrative violence against enemies and ‘apostates’ of Christianity as a feature of the ‘Final Battle’ must be seen as part of a comprehensive cultural code connected to the announcing of beginning of Doomsday scenario and the End of the Age.

description: La France connaît de nombreuses crises de xénophobie, notamment à partir de la IIIe République. Les affrontements physiques entre ouvriers français et ouvriers italiens sont particulièrement nombreux dans une région comme la Lorraine qui compte environ 60.000 immigrés transalpins à la veille de la Première Guerre mondiale. Les archives nous présentent un éventail de rixes et d’affrontements, divers par leurs formes, leurs acteurs, leurs origines, leurs armes, mais qui comportent de nombreuses similitudes et s’inscrivent dans une même dynamique, car, loin de constituer de simples crises, ces formes de violence s’enracinent dans des comportements anciens.
France knew numerous crises of xenophobia, in particular from the Third Republic. There are a lot of physical confrontations between French workers and Italian workers in Lorraine, which counts approximately 60.000 Italian just before the beginning of the Great War. Archives have a variety of brawls and clashes, different in their forms, their actors, their origins, their weapons, but which some similarities and join the same dynamics, because these forms of violence take root in old behavior, at the heart of the history of violence.

description: Objectives: To identify the demographic and qualification characteristics of paramedic academics holding teaching and research positions at universities in Australia and New Zealand offering entry-level undergraduate or postgraduate degree programs in paramedicine.
Methods: A 17 item online normative internet survey was used to obtain demographic and qualification characteristics about the target group. The survey was divided into five categories: demographic data, professional qualifications, educational qualifications, learning and teaching experience, and level of academic skills. Data were collected over a two-month period in 2013 and then collated and reported utilising the capabilities of the Survey Monkey program.
Results: Of the estimated 66 eligible participants, 30 responded to the survey, 70% were male, the average age when entering academia was 43 years, and the average age when initially entering paramedicine was 23 years. Two-thirds completed their paramedic training in Australia and New Zealand, with the other third training in the UK, US, or Canada. There was a wide-range of levels of training and qualification reported with three having a PhD on entering academia, while most had little to no experience in research, academic writing, and publication.
Conclusions: Issues of the transference of cultural and professional capital from one community of practice (CoP) into another, the variance in the levels of academic qualifications amongst paramedics when entering academia, and the resources needed to mentor and educate a large majority of these new academics pose significant challenges to new academics and the universities employing them.

description: In this paper, we present Poisson brackets of certain classes of mappings obtained as general periodic reductions of integrable lattice equations. The Poisson brackets are derived from a Lagrangian, using the so-called Ostrogradsky transformation. The (q,−p) reductions are (p + q)-dimensional maps and explicit Poisson brackets for such reductions of the discrete KdV equation, the discrete Lotka–Volterra equation, and the discrete Liouville equation are included. Lax representations of these equations can be used to construct sufficiently many integrals for the reductions. As examples we show that the (3,−2) reductions of the integrable partial difference equations are Liouville integrable in their own right.

description: Neste breve artigo de estudo pretender-se-á demonstrar de que forma a Guerra Civil Espanhola (1936-1939) levou a uma escalada da violência em Portugal por parte do regime, sobre um dos seus principais alvos, o PCP (Partido Comunista Português). Num período em que o fascismo já tinha trilhado o seu caminho de ascensão ao poder com um primeiro período de Ditadura Militar (1926-1933) e depois legitimado com a Constituição de 1933 no que viria a dar no Estado Novo (1933-1974). O PCP vinha de um período de adaptação à clandestinidade, após a forte repressão sofrida no contexto do ‘Reviralho’ que penosamente se associou e se desfalcou. O período em que nos debruçamos leva-nos para uma época em que a URSS via Internacional Comunista aponta a expansão do comunismo na Europa Ocidental pela via legalista, ou seja, a conquista do poder pelo voto através de amplas coligações de esquerda.
In this brief article we will to show how the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) led to an escalation of violence in Portugal by the regime on one of its main targets, the PCP (Portuguese Communist Party). At a time when fascism had already trod their way rise to power with a first period of military dictatorship (1926-1933) and then legitimized by the 1933 Constitution as would give the New State (1933-1974). The PCP was a period of adaptation underground, following the sharp repression suffered in the context of ‘Reviralho’ that pain fully joined and embezzled. The period in which we look back takes us to a time when the USSR via the Communist International points the spread of communism in Western Europe via legalistic, that is the conquest of power by voting through broad left coalition.

description: AIMS - As part of the WHO Harm from others' drinking project, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Chile, Nigeria and Vietnam undertook scoping studies to examine: which service agencies in low and middle income countries responded to people affected by others' drinking; how commonly key informants from these agencies indicated alcohol was part of the problems they managed; and whether any routine reporting systems collected information on alcohol's harm to others (AHTO) and the types and examples of harms experienced across the six countries. METHODS - Researchers synthetised within country peer-review literature, reports, news and agency website information. Additionally, researchers interviewed key informants to investigate current structures, functions and practices of service agencies, and in particular their recording practices surrounding cases involving others' drinking. RESULTS - 111 key informants agreed to participate from 91 purposively selected agencies from health, social protection, justice and police, and 'other' sectors. National and provincial level data, as well as state-run and civil society agency data were collected. Diverse service response systems managed AHTO in the different countries. A large range in the percentage of all cases attributed to AHTO was identified. Case story examples from each country illustrate the different responses to, and the nature of, many severe problems experienced because of others' drinking. CONCLUSIONS - AHTO was a major issue for service systems in LMIC, and significantly contributed to their workload, yet, very few recording systems routinely collected AHTO data. Recommendations are outlined to improve AHTO data collection across multiple sectors and enable LMIC to better identify and respond to AHTO.
Providing FAIR Sensor Data Models Using Semantic Web Technologies and Ontologies

description: The extended usage time of measurement data due to current trends and regulations demands richly described and FAIR measurement data to ensure (re-) usability by third parties, after long periods, and for different applications. Semantic web technologies and ontologies are key for providing FAIR data, but they significantly increase modelling complexity and effort and lack domain-specific standards. We acknowledge the latter by proposing a semantic data metamodel for measurement data based on domain-agnostic ontologies. To compensate for the increasing complexity, we introduce a mapping to a simple data meta-structure, which can be used to define a measuring system-specific structure and automatically generate the complete semantic measuring system-specific model. Based on these structures and models, we implemented three virtual measuring systems. A FAIRness assessment of the data acquired shows a promising result for the FAIRness of the data but also revealed further possibilities for improving the proposed models and methods.

description: This study examines the effects of stress on the stop burst in five languages differing in number of places of articulation, as reflected in burst duration, spectral centre of gravity, and spectral standard deviation. The languages studied are English (three places of articulation /p t k/), the Indonesian language Makasar (four places /p t c k/), and the Central Australian languages Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri (both five places /p t t c k/), and Arrernte (six places /p t t t c k/). We find that languages differ in how they manifest stress on the consonant, with Makasar not showing any effect of stress at all, and Warlpiri showing an effect on burst duration, but not on the spectral measures. For the other languages, the velar /k/ has a "darker" quality (i.e., lower spectral centre of gravity), and/or a less diffuse spectrum (i.e., lower standard deviation) under stress; while the alveolar /t/ has a "lighter" quality under stress. In addition, the dental /t/ has a more diffuse spectrum under stress. We suggest that this involves enhancement of the features [grave] and [diffuse] under stress, with velars being [+grave] and [-diffuse], alveolars being [-grave], and dentals being [+diffuse]. We discuss the various possible spectral effects of enhancement of these features. Finally, in the languages with five or six places of articulation, the stop burst is longer only for the palatal /c/ and the velar /k/, which have intrinsically long burst durations, and not for the anterior coronals /t t t/, which have intrinsically short burst durations. We suggest that in these systems, [burst duration] is a feature that separates these two groups of consonants.

description: Tra la fine della Seconda guerra mondiale e il Memorandum di Londra, la città di Trieste è stata oggetto di una contesa confinaria, che ha comportato una situazione di violenza diffusa, estrinsecatasi nel confronto tra due parti che miravano all’assegnazione della sovranità della città a due diverse entità statali contendenti cui facevano politicamente e culturalmente riferimento e nello scontro di tali due parti con le forze di pubblica sicurezza alleate.
In questo articolo ci focalizzeremo sulla rappresentazione data dall’informazione jugoslava di tale violenza diffusa e sulle sue letture delle ragioni delle forze in campo, basate su categorie interpretative radicate e rispondenti a immediate necessità politiche jugoslave. Le fonti primarie oggetto della nostra analisi saranno quotidiani jugoslavi come Politika, Borba, La Voce del Popolo e le due edizioni novosadska e suboticana di Slobodna Vojvodina.

Between the Second World War and the Memorandum of London, the town of Trieste has been the object of a border issue, which entailed a situation of widespread violence. It expressed through the confrontation between two sides who aimed at the assignation of the city’s sovereignty to two different competing state entities, whom they referred to politically and culturally, and through the conflict of these two sides with the Allied police forces.
This article will focus on the representation of this widespread violence given by Yugoslavian information and on its acknowledgement of the contenders’ claims, based on interpretive categories that were well deep-rooted and reflected Yugoslavia’s most compelling political necessities. The primary sources hereby analysed will be Yugoslavian newspapers such as Politika, Borba, La Voce del Popolo and the two novosadska and suboticana editions of Slobodna Vojvodina.

description: In Australia, little is known about how the incidence rate (IR) of lower limb amputation (LLA) varies across the country. While studies in other economically developed countries have shown considerable geographic variation in the IR-LLA, mostly these have not considered whether the effect of common risk factors are the same across regions. Mapping variation of the IR-LLA, and the effect of common risk factors, is an important first step to focus research into areas of greatest need and support the development of regional specific hypotheses for in-depth examination. The aim of this study was to describe the geographic variation in the IR-LLA across Australia and understand whether the effect of common risk factors was the same across regions. Using hospital episode data from the Australian National Hospital Morbidity database and Australian Bureau of Statistics, the all-cause crude and age-standardised IR-LLA in males and females were calculated for the nation and each state and territory. Generalised Linear Models were developed to understand which factors influenced geographic variation in the crude IR-LLA. While the crude and age-standardised IR-LLA in males and females were similar in most states and territories, they were higher in the Northern Territory. The effect of older age, being male and the presence of type 2 diabetes was associated with an increase of IR-LLA in most states and territories. In the Northern Territory, the younger age at amputation confounded the effect of sex and type 2 diabetes. There are likely to be many factors not included in this investigation, such as Indigenous status, that may explain part of the variation in the IR-LLA not captured in our models. Further research is needed to identify regional- and population-specific factors that could be modified to reduce the IR-LLA in all states and territories of Australia.

description: O químico e escritor Primo Levi construiu um dos testemunhos mais contundentes da segunda metade do século XX. Este texto tenta converter questões que aparecem em suas autobiografias mais impactantes sobre o campo de extermínio em problemas de caráter sociológico. Gostaria de interpretar seu testemunho como fonte documental, em que seja possível apreender aspectos informativos de denúncia da violência que assinou com sangue nossa era. Tentarei verificar os limites na construção do testemunho e as possibilidades encontradas pelo escritor na representação e reflexão sobre a experiência vivida; afinal, pensar a obra de Levi a partir de um conjunto de elementos que encontra na noção de memória seu eixo decisivo faz de seu testemunho não apenas um objeto de análise histórica, mas, ainda, fonte privilegiada para refletir sobre um desafio político: o imperativo sempre urgente de «não repetir o passado».

The writer and chemist Primo Levi created one of the strongest testimonies of the second half of the twentieth century. In this text, I try to convert the questions that appear in two of his most striking autobiographies about the extermination camp in problems of sociological character. I wish to interpret his testimony as a documentary source, where it is possible to apprehend informative aspects on violence and death denunciation, things that have signed our era with blood. In these terms, I will try to verify the limits to the construction of a testimony on the barbarism and the possibilities found by Levi in the representation and reflection on his experience. After all, to address Levi’s work parting from a set of elements that find in the notion of memory its decisive axis makes his testimony not only an object of historical analysis, but also a prime source to reflect on an urgent political challenge: «not to repeat the past».

description: Orientation of surface immobilized capture proteins, such as antibodies, plays a critical role in the performance of immunoassays. The sensitivity of immunodiagnostic procedures is dependent on presentation of the antibody, with optimum performance requiring the antigen binding sites be directed toward the solution phase. This review describes the most recent methods for oriented antibody immobilization and the characterization techniques employed for investigation of the antibody state. The introduction describes the importance of oriented antibodies for maximizing biosensor capabilities. Methods for improving antibody binding are discussed, including surface modification and design (with sections on surface treatments, three-dimensional substrates, selfassembled monolayers, and molecular imprinting), covalent attachment (including targeting amine, carboxyl, thiol and carbohydrates, as well as "click" chemistries), and (bio)affinity techniques (with sections on material binding peptides, biotin-streptavidin interaction, DNA directed immobilization, Protein A and G, Fc binding peptides, aptamers, and metal affinity). Characterization techniques for investigating antibody orientation are discussed, including x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, dual polarization interferometry, neutron reflectometry, atomic force microscopy, and time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry. Future perspectives and recommendations are offered in conclusion.

description: Este texto trata da questão do suicídio no Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil, considerando o contexto do avanço do capitalismo no campo. Este avanço tem propiciado novos modos e estilos de vida que, por seu turno, tem favorecido a algumas sociopatologias, dentre estas, a autodestruição por meio do suicídio. Das violências a que estamos expostos todos os dias, a violência contra si é uma das mais graves, vez que denuncia a sociedade deletéria em que se vive, assim como seus pontos de desagregação. Neste sentido, aponta a investida do capital para que se consolide o fim da pequena agricultura tradicional, seja por meio da articulação com a indústria e seus métodos perversos de gestão, seja por meio da pluriatividade, expressão contemporânea da flexibilização e, ademais, da precarização do trabalho no meio rural.

This paper deals with the issue of suicide in Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil, considering the advance of capitalism in rural areas. This kind of progress has brought new lifestyles that, in turn, has favored some social pathologies and, among these, the self-destruction through suicide. Among violences that we are exposed every day, the violence against ourselves is one of the most serious, since it reveals the deleterious society in which we live, as well as their point of breakdown. In this regard, the capital has invested to consolidate the end of the family farming, either through cooperation with the industry and its perverse management methods and through pluriactivity, contemporary expression of flexibility and, moreover, of precariousness of work in rural areas.

description: Background: Movement disorders and non-motor problems such as cognitive decline, anxiety, depression and behavioural problems, are common in people with dementia and can progress over time. Exercise coupled with music is a promising form of therapy designed to improve both the motor and non-motor manifestations of this debilitating neurological condition.
Objectives: To present a protocol for a systematic review and critical analysis of the literature to answer the following questions:
(i) Is music-cued exercise more effective than usual care for the treatment of motor and non-motor symptoms of dementia?
(ii) What are the outcomes of music-cued exercise for people living with dementia?
Methods: We provide the protocol for a systematic review and critical analysis of the literature using the PRISMA guidelines. Studies shall be reviewed that use music cued exercises aimed at improving the management of physical and non-physical problems associated with dementia. Eligibility criteria will be applied to the title and abstract of each citation as a first step followed by full text screening. Data extraction and quality appraisal are to be performed by two reviewers.
Data sources: This protocol documents the comprehensive search strategy to be performed using MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PSYCHINFO, PUBMED, SCOPUS and web of science databases. Science, technology and engineering databases will also be searched.
Eligibility criteria: All study designs incorporating data will be included in this review. The following selection criteria shall be applied:
• Participants will be people diagnosed with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, of any stage and severity, all ages, any range of co-morbidities, any medications.
• Interventions will use rhythmic music with any physical exercise or rehabilitation program.
• Outcomes shall include motor impairments such as gait, postural stability and general mobility. Studies considering non-motor signs such as anxiety, depression, behavioural disturbances and cognitive decline will also be included.
Results: Evidence will be built from this review regarding the effectiveness of using music-cued exercises to optimise physical abilities and improve non-motor disorders in people with dementia.
Conclusions: This protocol paper documents the methods that we shall use for a forthcoming systematic review. The knowledge obtained from the review will provide guidance to people with dementia, caregivers and clinicians by clarifying the strength of the evidence for music-cued movement rehabilitation.
