description: Após uma revisão da evolução histórica dos cuidados prestados ao recém-nascido pré-termo, que culmina numa filosofia de intervenção global centrada na criança e na família, os A. fazem a análise crítica dos estudos que pretendem correlacionar factores de risco biológicos e sócio-familiares com o desenvolvimento futuro da criança. Dadas as dificuldades metodológicas resultantes da multiplicidade das variáveis estudadas e das amostras reduzidas, os A. propõem a realização de um projecto multicêntrico.

Tendo em conta o papel dos factores sócio-familiares, educativos e afectivos, assim como das vulnerabilidades e forças da criança e da família, os A. referem-se a 3 modelos de intervenção: a massagem; a melhoria do vínculo e a promoção da descoberta das competências e forças individuais; a educação e apoio aos pais.

description: Introdução: A saúde oral é parte integrante da saúde geral e mantê-la é uma prioridade. O conhecimento da prevalência das patologias orais que atingem a população desde a infância à juven tude, e a falta de medidas de prevenção simples, acessíveis e eficazes, têm conduzido ao reforço da importância dada à saúde oral nomeadamente à cárie dentária e às anomalias de oclu são. Cuidados específicos e diferenciados no tratamento e na pre venção na assistência à criança obrigam à estreita colabora ção entre o pediatra e o odontopediatra, bem como à educação dos pais.

Objectivo: Neste artigo os autores abordam os problemas dentários mais frequentes em Odontopediatria, com especial destaque para os aspectos de interesse para o pediatra, obstetra e médico de medicina geral e familiar.

Material e Métodos: Pesquisa bibliográfica baseada em artigos publicados e livros de texto de odontopediatria e pediatria dos últimos anos, na tentativa de reunir o máximo de informação científica actual. Foram seleccionados todos os trabalhos que incluíssem como palavras-chave os termos: pediatria, criança, saúde oral, doenças orais, prevenção. Destes escolhemos os mais representativos.

Conclusão: A Medicina Dentária para a criança pode resumir-se em: “Educar para manter sempre saúde oral em todos os grupos etários, pois as crianças de hoje serão os adultos saudáveis de amanhã”. A prevenção é a filosofia da boa saúde no futuro.

title: Queering Frauenlob
Creators: name: Penninger, Jasmin
Year: 2017

description: Die Arbeit „Queering Frauenlob. Ein Queer Reading ausgewählter Texte Heinrichs von Meißen“ nimmt, wie der Titel suggeriert, einzelne schriftliche Zeugnisse des wohl anspruchsvollsten und sonderbarsten Dichters in mittelhochdeutscher Sprache ins Visier und beleuchtet insbesondere Momente der Destabilisierung binärer Oppositionen wie etwa jene von Mann/Frau, aktiv/passiv, innen/außen etc. Dabei spielen Phänomene wie mittelalterlich geprägte wahrnehmungsphysiologische Vorstellungen des Sehvorgangs, vor allem in Konnex zur sog. Blickminne, aber auch Spiegelungsprozesse sowie Durchkreuzungs- sowie Fragmentierungtendenzen von Identitäten eine zentrale Rolle. Die queerenden (Re-)Lektüren spüren Möglichkeiten einer anti-heteronormativen Auslegung auf, während immer wieder die Uneindeutigkeit resp. Varianz von Körperlichkeit(en) und Identitätskonstruktionen verhandelt wird. Die theoretische Position, von der aus die Lektüren unternommen werden, ist eine ‚mittelfeministische‘ – Queer Theorien, dekonstruktiver Feminismus und postkoloniale Mittelalterstudien (‚midcolonial‘) bilden den theoretischen Knotenkomplex der Analysen. Der Dreh- und Angelpunkt des textnahen Frauenlob-Que(e)rlesens stellt immerzu das in den Dichtungen zur Schau gestellte (sexuelle) Begehren dar, das sich, wie die Lektüren deutlich zeigen, nicht immer so problemlos einer heteronormativen Matrix fügt, sondern an mehreren Stellen queere Interventionen offenhält und subversives Potential bietet. Die mittelhochdeutschen Textpassagen aus selektierten Minneliedern sowie aus dem Marienleich spiegeln nicht nur potentiell queere Begehrensstrukturen wider, sondern legen zudem auch Cross-Identifikationsbewegungen nahe, die insbesondere aus einer postmodernen Sicht ein unerwartet hohes Maß an Aktualität aufweisen.

Prof. Elysio de Moura

Uma vivência distorcida leva a comportamentos extremos para se atingir um “corpo ideal”, que afinal é sempre inatingível. A anorexia exige uma entrega total e nada dá em troca. É uma doença mediatizada que vai de encontro à imagem actual do “sucesso”. Mas o doloroso sofrimento que acarreta e o número crescente de jovens que atinge leva a que se repensem constantemente, atitudes e gestos.

While there is an abundance of coal in the ground, and, due to the increased use of machinery, it can be mined at less expense than formerly, and notwithstanding the fact that more miners are employed, coal prices, from year to year, go higher and higher until many families in the states having a cold winter climate (there is scarcely a family in any section of the United States but who requires coal at some period of the year ) suffer as a direct consequence of these exorbitant prices, while indirectly through higher transportation and manufacturing costs every person in the United States is affected.

description: Background It is generally assumed that procrastination leads to negative consequences. However, evidence for negative consequences of procrastination is still limited and it is also unclear by which mechanisms they are mediated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the harmful consequences of procrastination on students’ stress and mental health. We selected the procrastination-health model as our theoretical foundation and tried to evaluate the model’s assumption that trait procrastination leads to (chronic) disease via (chronic) stress in a temporal perspective. We chose depression and anxiety symptoms as indicators for (chronic) disease and hypothesized that procrastination leads to perceived stress over time, that perceived stress leads to depression and anxiety symptoms over time, and that procrastination leads to depression and anxiety symptoms over time, mediated by perceived stress. Methods To examine these relationships properly, we collected longitudinal data from 392 university students at three occasions over a one-year period and analyzed the data using autoregressive time-lagged panel models. Results Procrastination did lead to depression and anxiety symptoms over time. However, perceived stress was not a mediator of this effect. Procrastination did not lead to perceived stress over time, nor did perceived stress lead to depression and anxiety symptoms over time. Conclusions We could not confirm that trait procrastination leads to (chronic) disease via (chronic) stress, as assumed in the procrastination-health model. Nonetheless, our study demonstrated that procrastination can have a detrimental effect on mental health. Further health outcomes and possible mediators should be explored in future studies.
title: Unterschiede in der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität bei Personen mit Adipositas und Anorexia nervosa

Year: 2016

description: Anorexia nervosa sowie Adipositas gehen beide mit einer beträchtlichen Einschränkung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität einher. Dies konnte bereits in einer Vielzahl an Studien gezeigt werden. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, inwiefern sich Betroffene mit Anorexia nervosa und Adipositas in ihrer gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität voneinander unterscheiden. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich die Betroffenen lediglich in der Subskala „Schmerzen“ der Short-Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) nicht voneinander unterscheiden. Im Vergleich zu Normalgewichtigen zeigten anorektische Personen in allen, adipöse Personen lediglich in vier Subskalen signifikant schlechtere Werte. Bezüglich der Eignung eines generischen gegenüber einem krankheitsspezifischen Messinstrument konnten keine signifikanten Unterschiede festgestellt werden. Es konnten vielmehr Hinweise gefunden werden, dass ein krankheitsspezifisches Instrument die Befunde eines generischen Instruments ausweiten und ergänzen könnte. Auch diese Ergebnisse sind in einer Linie mit bisherigen Studienergebnissen in der Literatur.
description: Studies showed that anorexia nervosa as well as obesity both are associated with reduced health-related quality of life. The present study examined whether there exists a difference between anorectic persons and obese persons concerning their perceived health-related quality of life. It was shown that they differ significantly in every subscale of the Short-Form-36 Health Survey (SF 36) but the subscale “pain”. In comparison to persons with normal weight, those with anorexia show significantly worse scores in all subscales and obese persons in only four subscales. When examining the suitability of the generic versus the specific measure no differences were found. The results suggest that it could be of advantage to use both of them to account all the varieties of a person’s health-related quality of life. Furthermore, their results could complement each other to gain deeper insight in an illness.

description: Background Tire wear particles (TWPs) produced by the abrasion between tires and road surfaces have been recognized as an emerging threat to soil health globally in recent years. They can be transported from the road surface to adjacent soil at different delivery rates, with precipitation a main driver underpinning this movement. However, studies typically assume an abrupt exposure of TWPs in their experimental design. In this study, we investigated the impacts of abrupt and gradual delivery of TWPs on soil physicochemical properties and microbial activities. We used two different delivery rates of TWPs (abrupt and gradual) and devised two experimental phases, namely the TWPs-delivery period (phase 1) and the end-of-delivery period (phase 2). Results We found that the gradual TWPs delivery treatments negatively influenced the activity of carbon cycle-related enzymes (β-glucosidase and β-D-1,4-cellobiosidase). Furthermore, the abrupt treatment highly increased the effects on nitrogen cycle-related enzyme activity (β-1,4-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase). In phase 2 (end-of-delivery period), each enzyme activity was returned to a similar level as the control group, and these changes between phases 1 and 2 depended on the prior delivery rates. Conclusion Abruptly and gradually delivered TWPs induce different responses to soil microbial activities. Our findings imply that the delivery rate of TWPs could be a key factor changing the effects of TWPs, further enhancing our understanding of the ecological impacts of TWPs.

description: Introdução: A obesidade infantil é um grave problema de Saú de Pública, com início em idades cada vez mais precoces. As suas consequências são preocupantes pelas comorbili da desassociadas, das quais se destaca a hipertensão arterial (HTA).

Objectivo: Avaliar a prevalência de excesso de peso (EP) e obesidade, HTA e pré-HTA, e a sua associação, numa amostra de crianças em idade pré-escolar.

Métodos: Estudo transversal entre Janeiro e Abril de 2007. Procedeu-se à determinação do índice de massa corporal (IMC) e avaliação da pressão arterial (PA). Para avaliar a prevalência de EP e obesidade foram usadas as tabelas de IMC do Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Considerou-se pré-HTA a PA sistólica e/ou diastólica entre os percentis 90 e 95 para a idade, sexo e estatura e HTA a PA igual ou superior ao percentil 95, em três medições distintas.

Resultados: Foram incluídas no estudo 165 crianças, sendo 58,2% do sexo masculino. Tinham peso normal 64,2% crianças, 6,7% eram magras, 15,2% tinham EP e 13,9% eram obesas. As prevalências de EP e obesidade foram menores no sexo masculino. A pré-HTA ocorreu em 3,6% crianças e a HTA em 4,2%. No sexo masculino ambas as prevalências foram de 4,2% e no feminino de 2,9% e 4,3%, respec tivamente. As diferenças entre sexos não foram estatisticamente significativas. A prevalência de pré-HTA ou HTA nas crianças
com EP ou obesidade foi de 18,8% e nas crianças com baixo peso ou peso normal foi de 3,4%.

Discussão: Quase 1/3 das crianças apresentaram EP ou obesidade. Verificou-se existir uma associação entre (pré)-HTA e EP/obesidade nesta amostra. De forma a contrariar a tendência crescente da obesidade, é importante proceder à avaliação antropométrica e da PA nas consultas de saúde infantil. Além disso, é urgente implementar medidas de prevenção primária e secundária, com início em idades precoces.

description: Designing materials capable of disinfecting water without releasing harmful by-products is an ongoing challenge. Here, we report a novel polycationic sponge material synthesized from chitosan derivatives and cellulose fibers, exhibiting antibacterial properties. The design of such material is based on three key principles. First, the formation of a highly porous structure through cryogelation for an extensive surface area. Second, the incorporation of cationic quaternary ammonium moieties onto chitosan to enhance bacterial adsorption and antibacterial activity. Lastly, the reinforcement of mechanical properties through integration of cellulose fibers. The presented sponge materials exhibit up to a 4-log (99.99%) reduction within 6 h against both gram-positive B. subtilis and gram-negative E. coli. Notably, QCHI90/Cell, with the highest surface charge, exhibits a 2–4.5 log reduction within 1 h of incubation time. The eco-friendly synthesis from water and readily available biomaterials, along with cost-effectiveness and simplicity, underscores its versatility and feasibility of upscaling. Together with its outstanding antibacterial activity, this macroporous biomaterial emerges as a promising candidate for water disinfection applications.

description: The initiation of ductile shear zones commonly occurs spatially associated with fluid-rock reactions along brittle precursors. In many cases the relative timing of fracturing, fluid infiltration, reaction, and recrystallisation is unclear, making it difficult to disentangle mechanisms of shear zone initiation from subsequent deformation and recrystallisation. Here we present the study of the transition from a dry plagioclase-diopside-garnet-scapolite host granulite-facies lithology to (1) a low strain amphibolite-facies rock, and (2) a transition from low strain to high strain amphibolite-facies lithologies. Hydration of the granulite-facies precursor at amphibolite-facies conditions produces an assemblage comprised dominantly of plagioclase-amphibole-zoisite-clinozoisite-kyanite-scapolite-quartz. Detailed study of plagioclase chemistry and microstructures across these two transitions using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry (WDS) allows us to assess the degree of coupling between deformation and fluid-rock reaction across the outcrop. Plagioclase behaves dominantly in a brittle manner at the hydration interface and so the initial weakening of the rock is attributed to grain size reduction caused by fracture damage and fluid infiltration at amphibolite-facies conditions. Extensive fracturing-induced grain size reduction locally increases permeability and allows for continuing plagioclase and secondary mineral growth during shear. Based on plagioclase microstructures, such as, an inherited but dispersed crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO), truncation of chemical zoning, and the dominance of fine (5–150 µm), slightly elongate, polygonal grains we conclude that deformation is dominantly facilitated by dissolution–precipitation creep assisted by grain boundary sliding in the shear zone.

Type material: Holotype ♂: “ NEPAL, E, Therathum distr., Basantapur, 2650–2700 m, 28.–29.V.2016, leg. J. Schmidt, 27°10'21"N, 87°25'14"E / collection Naturkundemuseum Erfurt / Holotypus ♂ Medon acutapicalis sp. n., det. V. Assing 2016 ” (NME). Paratypes: 18 exs.: same data as holotype (NME, cAss).
Etymology: The specific epithet (adjective) alludes to the acute apex of the ventral process in lateral view.
Description: Body length 3.3–5.2 mm; length of forebody 1.9–2.3 mm. Coloration: body dark-brown to blackishbrown, with the pronotum and elytra usually slightly paler; legs yellowish-brown to pale-brown; antennae reddish with antennomere I usually slightly darker and the apical antennomeres more or less extensively paler.
Elytra approximately 0.65 times as long as pronotum (Fig. 7). Other external characters as in M. arunicus.
♂: sternite VII (Figs 8–9) moderately transverse, approximately 1.2 times as broad as long, posterior margin with small and very shallow median excision in the middle, on either side of this excision with a row of 7–9 long and moderately stout black setae; sternite VIII shaped as in Fig. 10; aedeagus approximately 0.5 mm long and shaped as in Figs 11–12.
Comparative notes: Like the geographically close M. arunicus, M. acutapicalis belongs to the M. apicalis group and is closely allied to M. manasluensis and related species. It is distinguished from all the species allied to M. manasluensis by the shape of the aedeagus and by the shape and chaetotaxy of the posterior margin of the male sternite VII. It additionally differs from M. arunicus by slightly paler coloration (particularly of the legs and antennae) and slightly shorter elytra.
Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated in Therathum district, East Nepal, at an altitude of 2650–2700 m. As can be inferred from the reduced hind wings and the pronounced local endemism of other species allied to M. manasluensis, M. acutapicalis probably has a restricted distribution.

Factors Influencing the Binding Power of Soil Colloids
Creators: name: Middleton, Howard E.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Modern colloid chemistry dates from the time of Thomas Graham, who, in 1861, pointed out the differences between molecularly-dispersed or true solutions and solutions of gum, starch, gelatin, silicic acid, etc., which he termed colloidal solutions. From this beginning, the colloid concept has expanded the until now we know that sky above us is blue because of the colloidal particles in the atmosphere, and that the earth beneath us owes many of its properties to its colloid content.The purpose of this investigation was to determine the binding power of colloidal material in the soil and the factors influencing it. Moore, et (5) al, have indicated that the colloidal material is the principal binding material of the soil. Further investigation has not only confirmed this point but also has shown that approximately 95 per cent of the total adsorption of the soil for such substances as malachite green, water vapor and ammonia is due to the soil colloids (Anderson, et al).

description: Modern colloid chemistry dates from the time of Thomas Graham, who, in 1861, pointed out the differences between molecularly-dispersed or true solutions and solutions of gum, starch, gelatin, silicic acid, etc., which he termed colloidal solutions. From this beginning, the colloid concept has expanded the until now we know that sky above us is blue because of the colloidal particles in the atmosphere, and that the earth beneath us owes many of its properties to its colloid content.The purpose of this investigation was to determine the binding power of colloidal material in the soil and the factors influencing it. Moore, et (5) al, have indicated that the colloidal material is the principal binding material of the soil. Further investigation has not only confirmed this point but also has shown that approximately 95 per cent of the total adsorption of the soil for such substances as malachite green, water vapor and ammonia is due to the soil colloids (Anderson, et al).

description: The preservation of food by canning, both commercially and in the home, is a nation-wide industry that is becoming increasingly important. A large percentage of our food supply is stored or handled in the canned condition and for this reason any influence tending to destroy it or make it unfit for consumption becomes a serious menace not only from an economic, but from a public health standpoint. Serious problems have developed in this industry, arising from the fact that long established practices have at times failed to accomplish successful preservation. Not only have great losses in valuable food material been sustained through spoilage, but many lives have been lost as the result of eating canned foods made poisonous by bacteria. The troubles have resulted from the survival after the cooking process, of the spores of certain heat resistant bacteria which find in the cans of food conditions favorable for growth and which through this growth cause deterioration and spoilage of the can contents.

description: Stress drop is an earthquake property indicative for the characteristic relation of slip to fault dimension. It is furthermore affected by fault strength, fault topography, the presence of fluids, rupture size, slip, and velocity. In this article, the stress drop image of an entire subduction zone, namely for the seismically highly active northernmost part of Chile, is combined with mapped b-values and their corresponding magnitude distribution in order to better constrain the conditions under which earthquakes of different provenances may nucleate. The underlying recent earthquake catalog contains over 180,000 events, covering 15 years of seismicity, from which more than 50,000 stress drop estimates were computed. Their spatial average segments the subduction zone into different parts, i.e., average stress drop between seismotectonic areas is different, although this difference is small compared to the natural scatter of stress drop values. By considering stress drop variations, b-value map, magnitude distribution, and thermal models, candidate earthquake nucleation mechanisms are identified which can explain the observed distributions. This is done for two exemplary regions: (1) The plate interface, where principally lower stress drop events are found, while at the same time a high spatial heterogeneity of stress drop values is observed. This indicates relatively smooth or lubricated rupture surfaces, and locally it suggests the existence of alternating regions controlled by strong asperities, weaker material, or creep. (2) The highly active intermediate depth (ID) seismicity region, where the variation of stress drop and b-value point to a gradual change of nucleation mechanism from dehydration embrittlement at the top of the ID cloud, over dehydration driven stress transfer in its central part, to thermal runaway shear mechanisms at its bottom. In both cases, the combination of stress drop and b-value distribution helps to better understand the origin and the differences of the observed seismicity.

A Review of State Laws on Tuberculosis
Creators: name: Tobey, James Alner
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Tuberculosis is a communicable disease caused by the tubercle bacillus. It is spread by means of infected sputum or secretions conveyed from a sick person to a healthy one. It may be spread by means of milk and bovine tuberculosis has also been demonstrated to be communicable to man by means of milk taken from infected cattle. It is probable that the infection is contracted in infancy and childhood and rarely in adult life. The bacilli may be present in a person in a quiescent state for many years and the disease develop only when the vital resistance has been so lowered that the germs may make headway. In fact, it is believed that a large proportion of the population has latent tuberculosis, which, in most cases, never goes beyond the dormant stage. This fact has been shown by autopsies of persons who have died from other causes. Tuberculous lesions have been found, though there may have been absolutely no signs of this disease in the physical condition of the person when a live, Tuberculosis of the lungs, or consumption, is the most common form, though various other parts of the body may be attacked.This review of the laws pertaining to tuberculosis now in force in the various states of the United States is offered as a thesis for the degree of Master of Science in public health at American University, Washington, D. C. It has been carried on during the school year ending in May, 1923. It is an original study, never before undertaken, and will prove of great value to sanitarians and sociologists, especially those interested in the prevention and control of tuberculosis. It will also, it is hoped, exert an influence on the whole great anti-tuberculosis movement in this country.

description: Dynamic networks are structures where the graph's nodes and/or edges can appear or disappear over discrete or continuous intervals of time. The visualization and analysis of dynamic networks play an essential role in understanding the structural evolution of a network. The main goals are to support a better overview of the network's evolution and to identify patterns or behaviors. Dynamic networks are most commonly represented as node-link diagrams with the temporal dimension being depicted using animated approaches. In this talk, I present a number of different and alternative methods for visualizing and interacting with a network and its temporal dimension and discuss the most pressing challenges currently faced. Furthermore, possible intersections with the Materials Sciences domain are discussed to understand how dynamic network visualization can complement the current state-of-the-art in this domain, provide different perspectives, and facilitate new insights into the data.
