title: Biomechanics in DALK: Big bubble vs manual lamellar dissection

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: The present study’s aim was to compare the biomechanical properties of corneal tissue in patients who underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) surgery, with successful big bubble formation and manual lamellar dissection, during failed big bubble formation. Methods: This retrospective comparative study included 60 eyes from 60 keratoconus patients who previously underwent DALK surgery. These patients were categorized as big bubble (+) or big bubble (−) based on the success or failure of big bubble formation during the surgery. The big bubble (+) group included 42 eyes, while the big bubble (−) group had 18 eyes. Moreover, the patients were regrouped as 0.25 mm and 0.50 mm to evaluate the effects of the disparity between donor and trephine punches on the biomechanical properties of the cornea. These biomechanical properties, characterized by corneal hysteresis and the corneal resistance factor, were measured using the Ocular Response Analyzer 12 months after the surgery. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the big bubble (+) and big bubble (−) groups in the biomechanical properties of the cornea (corneal hysteresis: 10.06, 10.25; p=0.716/corneal resistance factor: 10.15, 10.07; p=0.805, respectively). In addition, pachymetry results were not statistically different between the two groups. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that corneal hysteresis and corneal resistance factor were positively associated with central corneal thickness (p&lt;0.001/r2=0.506; p&lt;0.001/r2=0.561, respectively). However, the study did not demonstrate a relationship between any of the punch sizes and corneal hysteresis or between the punch sizes (p=0.673) and the corneal resistance factor (p=0.643). Conclusions: The corneal hysteresis and corneal resistance factor values were similar in big bubble and manual lamellar dissection after DALK. Thus, manual lamellar dissection was not a disadvantage considering the cornea’s biomechanical properties.

title: Belo Horizonte’s real estate valuation, 1995-2012: a hedonic-quantile approach

description: Abstract This paper estimates quantile hedonic price indexes for apartments in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 1995-2012. From an urban economic point of view, the real estate is one example of a segmented market and for this reason we choose the quantile regression approach. The several results suggest that before 2004, when there was a lack of institutional mark for the real estate mortgages and macroeconomics environment was too uncertain, there a little appreciation in apartments prices. In this period there wasn’t a regular pattern in quantile appreciation. Since 2005, there was a great appreciation of apartments in all segments of the market, since the real estate mortgage increases due to the reformulation of the real estate mortgage institutional market. Before 2009, the appreciation was more pronounced in the highest segments. Since 2009, there was a reversion of the quantile appreciation pattern. The appreciation in lowest segments was higher than in the highest. Partly, this change can be attributed to countercyclical policies implemented by Brazilian Government which focus on families with medium and low incomes.

title: Limits of Brazilian public accounting and control systems to address the systemic corruption problem: lessons from the Swedish and Italian cases

description: Abstract This article seeks to understand the reasons for the persistence of corruption in the Brazilian federal government, despite strong public accounting and financial control systems in the country. More than two-thirds of the states in the world, including Brazil, face the challenge of plundering public finances by political, economic, and bureaucratic elites. In this context, the exclusive use of the dominant approach of economic theories for the structuring of public control systems is limited. It is more appropriate to consider corruption as a problem of collective action. Hence, the theoretical reference chosen includes Bourdieu’s theory of practice and Tocqueville’s and Ostrom’s collective action theories, as they have been understood respectively by Mungiu-Pippidi and Rothstein. The methodological strategy adopted is an exploratory analysis of the cases of contemporary day Brazil, based on the lessons learned from nineteenth-century Sweden, and Italy in the 1990s. The results indicated that overcoming systemic corruption requires more than control systems. It demands, at least, a trigger to disrupt the perverse social imbalance, institutional capacity to offer normative effectiveness and a cohesive and active civil society.

title: Análise estratégica do Projeto QualiSUS-Rede: contribuições para avaliação em saúde pública

description: ABSTRACT QualiSUS-Network sought to qualify management and health care by means of organization of health networks. The objective of our study is to analyze the process of formulation and implementation of QualiSUS-Network related to management. This is a qualitative study, on a documentary basis. Strategic analysis was used, by considering its three dimensions: relevance of the problem prioritized; relevance of the proposed objectives and solutions; relevance of partnerships. Strategic analysis was used in a hybrid way together with the theory of change considering its three axes: chain of results and its conditioners, operation mode and interactions among actors. A timeline of QualiSUS-Network was also developed, identifying critical events. As a result, it was verified that QualiSUS-Network achieved relevance in the three dimensions of the strategic analysis. However, the evidences point out that, in future interventions, the following barriers need to be observed: i) the streamlining of institutional times; ii) the weakness of the institutional model for monitoring and evaluation; iii) difficulty of the bodies involved with risk management, especially those originating from government transitions. The use of multiple methodological strategies, based on the intervention theory, considering the chain of outcomes and causalities, have proved to be potent in explaining the theory and management model in the QualiSUS-Network.

title: Role of error-prone DNA polymerases in spontaneous mutagenesis in Caulobacter crescentus

description: Abstract Spontaneous mutations are important players in evolution. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of information about the mutagenic processes operating in most bacterial species. In this work, we implemented two forward mutational markers for studies in Caulobacter crescentus. We confirmed previous results in which A:T → G:C transitions are the most prevalent type of spontaneous base substitutions in this organism, although there is considerable deviation from this trend in one of the loci analyzed. We also investigated the role of dinB and imuC, encoding error-prone DNA polymerases, in spontaneous mutagenesis in this GC-rich organism. Both dinB and imuC mutant strains show comparable mutation rates to the parental strain. Nevertheless, both strains show differences in the base substitution patterns, and the dinB mutant strain shows a striking reduction in the number of spontaneous -1 deletions and an increase in C:G → T:A transitions in both assays.

title: Comparative analyses of three swallow species (Aves, Passeriformes, Hirundinidae): Insights on karyotype evolution and genomic organization

description: Abstract Despite the richness of species in the Hirudinidae family, little is known about the genome organization of swallows. The Progne tapera species presents genetic and morphological difference when compared to other members of the same genus. Hence, the aims of this study were to analyze the chromosomal evolution of three species Progne tapera, Progne chalybea and Pygochelidon cyanoleuca - by comparative chromosome painting using two sets of probes, Gallus gallus and Zenaida auriculata, in order to determine chromosome homologies and the relationship between these species. All karyotypes exhibited 76 chromosomes with similar morphology, except for the 5th, 6th and 7th chromosome pairs in P. cyanoleuca. Additionally, comparative chromosome painting demonstrated the same hybridization pattern in the two Progne, which was similar to the putative avian ancestral karyotype, except for the centric fission in the first pair, as found in other Passeriformes. Thus, these data display a close relationship between the Progne species. Although P. cyanoleuca demonstrated the same fission in the first pair of the ancestral syntenic (GGA1), it also showed an additional chromosomal rearrangement for this species, namely a fusion with a microchromosome in the seventh pair.

title: Relational Capability and Strategic Alliances for Research and Development

description: ABSTRACT Context the Brazilian Agricultural Research Organization has played an important role in research and development to generate innovations. Many of these innovations are generated through research and development alliances with external partners. This stimulates the potential for relationship capability, i.e., a strategic management construct of alliances with procedural proposals that have not yet been verified empirically. Objective the general aim of the study was to explore how relationship capability processes can help to generate innovations. Methods qualitative research was conducted using the case study method, based on interviews, document analysis and observation. Three strategic research and development alliances involving the Brazilian Agricultural Research Organization and external partners constituted the analysis corpus. Results the principal contribution to the advance of knowledge was an interorganizational model for generating innovations based on strategic research and development alliances, founded on the empirical evidence of the relationship capability processes of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Organization and its external partners. Conclusion this new model provides greater clarity regarding how a public research company absorbs knowledge and unprecedented evidence of the processes of institutionalization and the overflow of relationship capability.

title: Celligner data

description: We developed a computational method (Celligner) that identifies and removes systematic differences between cell lines and tumor gene expression profiles, allowing for direct integration of existing large-scale cancer cell line and tumor datasets. Celligner performs this computational alignment across cancer types in a completely unsupervised fashion, without relying on prior annotations of cancer types, tumor sample purity, or contaminating cell expression profiles. We applied Celligner to produce a global alignment of 12,236 tumor samples from TCGA, TARGET, and Treehouse datasets and 1,249 cell lines from DepMap. This dataset includes Celligner-aligned data, a matrix of distances between cell lines and tumors, associated cell line and tumor metadata, and other outputs from the Celligner method. See Readme file for more details about the dataset contents and version history.
