Considerando que na afasia o quadro sintomático de linguagem é marcado pela “insistência/persistência de uma diferença” (LIER­-DE VITTO, 2006, p. 186, grifos da autora), este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender o processo de reconstituição da escrita de um sujeito em estado de afasia, cuja linguagem foi gravemente perturbada. De natureza exploratória com abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa tem como corpus seis textos produzidos durante o período em que o sujeito esteve hospitalizado. O aporte teórico advém fundamentalmente de estudiosos da Afasiologia, da Aquisição e das Patologias de Linguagem, dentre os quais estão Freud ([1891] 1977; 2012); Jakobson ([1954] 2008); Morato (2012; 2013); Santana (2002); Lemos (1992; 2002; 2006); Lier-De Vitto (2006); Arantes (2006; 2009); Borges (2006; 2010); e Bosco (2010). Os resultados revelaram que o movimento de (re) composição da escrita do sujeito em questão foi marcado pela interação com o outro (terapeuta ou familiar), que como portador do texto-discurso conduziu o sujeito à escrita; significou e interpretou seus textos, por meio de atividades que envolviam situações cotidianas, (re) inserindo-o, com isso, no funcionamento linguístico-discursivo.

Background. Studies on physical activity, which is positively associated with physical fitness, reveal that children’s activity is not sufficient (BHFNC, 2010; Chen, Zheng, Yi, & Yao, 2014; Currie et al., 2012), and their physical fitness deteriorates (Volbekienė & Kavaliauskas, 2002; Мирошниченко & Астраханцев, 2005; Синявский, Власов, & Сергеев, 2009). Non-formal physical education (NFPE) is one of the means to increase children’s physical activity and physical fitness. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of NFPE on the physical fitness of 6th grade pupils. Methods. The research was conducted in May, 2013; 356 six-graders (48.0% of girls) from four Klaipėda city comprehensive schools participated in the research. As many as 56.5% of children (48.3% of girls) participated in NFPE in school and out of school. The participants completed five physical fitness tests. Results. Independent t test revealed that the results of boys who attended the NFPE group of cardiorespiratory fitness, t(180) = −2.093, p = .038; upper body muscular strength and endurance, t(182) = 2.413, p = .017; abdominal muscular strength and endurance, t(186) = 3.282, p = .001; explosive leg power, t(183) = 1.967, p = .049, and girls’ results of abdominal muscular strength and endurance, t(172) = 2.687, p = .008 were significantly higher than those in the NFPE non attended group. Conclusion. Non-formal physical education is a meaningful educational form for increasing children’s, particularly boys’, health related physical fitness; therefore it is purposeful to encourage children to participate in physical activities in school and after classes.

Drepanolejeunea (Spruce 1884: 186) Stephani (1891: 209), with about 110 currently accepted species, is the fourth largest genus of Lejeuneaceae (following Cololejeunea (Spruce 1884: 291) Stephani (1891: 208), Lejeunea Libert (1820: 373), and Cheilolejeunea (Spruce 1884: 251) Stephani (1890: 284) (He et al. 2012). Although Drepanolejeunea is a diverse pantropical genus, it is characterized and easily distinguished from other related genera by the 1) erect to widely divergent lobes of underleaves without a basal disc, 2) transverse section of stem with 7 cortical cells and 3 medullary cells, 3) presence of ocelli at least at base of leaf lobe), 4) proximal hyaline papilla, 5) pycnolejeuneoid leaf sequence of gynoecial innovation (if present), 6) inflated perianths usually with various projections near apex, and 7) asexual reproduction by means of cladia or caducous leaves (Zhu & So 2001; He et al. 2012; Pócs et al., 2013). The genus has been classified in a separate subtribe, Drepanolejeuneinae Gradstein (2013: 14), together with Vitalianthus Schuster & Giancotti (1993: 447).

The importance of the impact of IT for organizations around the world, especially in light of a very slow recovery from the global financial crisis, has amplified the need to provide a better understanding of the specific geographic similarities and differences of IT managerial and technical trends. Going beyond identifying these influential factors is also the need to understand the considerations for addressing them in light of recognizing the respective local characteristics, especially when operating in a globally linked environment, although somehow heavily influenced locally. By comparing and contrasting IT trends from different geographies, this paper presents important local and international factors (e.g., management concerns, influential technologies, budgets/spending, organizational considerations) necessary to prepare IT leaders for the challenges that await them. It can also serve as an indicator as the respective geographies evolve from the economic conundrum. The research is based on data from four geographic regions (United States (US), Europe, Asia, and Latin America). The same questionnaire (although translated for the respective respondents), based on the lead authors well-respected and long-running Society for Information Management survey, was applied across the geographies. This paper presents the major findings based on survey responses from 620 respondents (275 US, 100 European, 59 Asian, and 186 Latin) in mid-2011. The top five management concerns were: (1) IT and business alignment; (2) business agility and speed to market; (3) business process management and business process reengineering; (4) business productivity and cost reduction; (5) IT reliability and efficiency. The five most influential technologies were: (1) business intelligence; (2) enterprise resource planning systems; (3) cloud computing; (4) mobile and wireless applications; (5) customer relationship management.

Thirty four exploration trips made throughout Bangladesh from 2000 to 2012 resulted in identification of 186 taxa used as leafy vegetables in the country, of which 173 taxa belong to angiosperms and 13 taxa to pteridophytes. Among the angiosperms, Magnoliopsida is represented by 153 taxa under 114 genera and 43 families, whereas Liliopsida is represented by 20 species under 15 genera and 8 families. Pteridophytes are symbolized by 13 species belonging to 10 genera and 10 families. Under each taxon updated nomenclature, vernacular names, habit, representative specimen and area of major consumption of the plant as a leafy vegetable have been provided. Out of 186 leafy vegetables identified in Bangladesh, 140 taxa are wild and 46 are cultivated. Among the cultivated ones 16 species are cultivated only as leafy vegetables and 30 are cultivated for other purposes but also used as leafy vegetables. A total of 61 species have been newly documented as leafy vegetables for Bangladesh.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v20i1.15469Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 20(1): 95-123, 2013 (June)

El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la relación entre rentabilidad financiera y liquidez corriente de las empresas del sector industrial que cotizan en la Bolsa de Valores de Lima, periodos, 2011-2014. Es un estudio correlacional no experimental de diseño retrospectivo. La muestra poblacional está compuesta por 29 empresas del sector industrial. El análisis descriptivo tuvo los siguientes resultados: 1) el sector ha experimentado una tendencia de disminución en cuanto al nivel de rentabilidad financiera, de un nivel alto (48%) en el 2013, hacia un nivel bajo (41%) en el 2014; 2) la liquidez corriente también experimenta un caída: en el 2011 alcanzó un nivel alto (34%) y en el 2014 un nivel bajo (45%), 3) actualmente, las empresas se encuentran en un nivel medio de rentabilidad financiera y liquidez corriente. Según la contrastación de hipótesis se obtuvo un coeficiente de correlación de r = -.218 que indica la existencia de una correlación negativa inversa con un p valor = .019. Para el 2011 se obtuvo una correlación negativa inversa (r = -.432) es significativa (p = .019), sin embargo, en los años 2012 (r = -.289, p=.128), 2013 (r= -.186, p=.333) y 2014 (r = -.203, p=.291) existe también correlación negativa inversa pero no significativa. Se concluye que durante el periodo de estudio, las empresas experimentan una tendencia a mantener un nivel medio de rentabilidad y liquidez; sin embargo, el último año obtienen resultados de nivel bajo en ambas variables. Se concluye, principalmente que cuando las empresas experimentan mayores niveles de rentabilidad, los niveles de liquidez son menores. Sin embargo, durante los años 2012 al 2014 no siempre a mayor rentabilidad las empresas obtienen menores niveles de liquidez.

O processo escravocrata, apesar de findado há muitos anos, deixou marcas que repercutem em diversos campos da vida humana, sobretudo o da educação, o qual este trabalho propõe-se a discutir. Apesar desse histórico excludente, a adesão de ações afirmativas de cotas raciais para o acesso à educação brasileira é um caminho válido, tendo sua constitucionalidade confirmada pela improcedência da Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental 186/DF - ADPF 186, julgada no ano de 2012. A oportunidade do acesso educacional é um direito social assegurado pela Constituição Federal que visa a transformação do status quo, por isso, refletir sobre as concepções meritocráticas que permitem uma perpetuação das desigualdades, também faz parte dos objetivos dessa pesquisa.

Background. Many insurance companies require obese patients to lose weight prior to gastric bypass. From a previous study by the same authors, preoperative weight at surgery is strongly predictive of weight loss up to one year after surgery. This review aims to determine whether preoperative weight loss is also correlated with weight loss up to one year after surgery.Methods. Of the 186 results screened using PubMed, 12 studies were identified. A meta-analysis was performed to further classify studies (A class, B class, regression, and rejected).Results. Of all 12 studies, one met the criteria for A class, six were B class, four were regression, and one was rejected. Six studies supported our hypothesis, five were inconclusive, and no study refuted.Conclusions. Preoperative weight loss is additive to postsurgery weight loss as predicted from the weight at the time of surgery.

Abstract We exploit the Eurosystem’s longer-term refinancing operations (LTROs) of 2011–2012 to assess whether a large provision of central bank liquidity to banks during a financial crisis has a positive impact on banks’ credit supply to firms. We control for credit demand by examining firms that borrow from several banks, in addition to controlling for confounding factors at the level of banks. We find that the LTROs enhanced loan supply: according to our baseline estimate, banks borrowing 1 billion euros from the facility increased their loan supply by 186 million euros over one year. We also find that the transmission mostly took place with the first operation of December 2011, in which banks that were more capital constrained bid more. Moreover, we show that the opportunity to substitute long-term central bank liquidity for short-term liquidity enhanced this transmission. Lastly, the operations benefited larger borrowers more and did not lead banks to increase their lending to riskier firms.

The interface between the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 and the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936 has been the object of our courts' attention in a number of recent cases including Ex parte Ford and Two Similar Cases 2009 3 SA 376 (WCC), Investec Bank Ltd v Mutemeri 2010 1 SA 265 (GSJ), Naidoo v ABSA Bank Ltd 2010 4 SA 597 (SCA) and, more recently, Nedbank v Andrews (240/2011) 2011 ZAECPEHC 29 (10 May 2011), FirstRand Bank Ltd v Evans 2011 4 597 (KZD) and FirstRand Bank Ltd v Janse van Rensburg 2012 2 All SA 186 (ECP). The question raised in all of the three most recent cases was whether or not a debtor's application for debt review in terms of the National Credit Act constitutes an "act of insolvency" in terms of section 8 of the Insolvency Act, upon which a creditor may rely in an application for the compulsory sequestration of the debtor's estate. If it does, it would mean that by resorting to the debt relief measures provided by the National Credit Act a debtor commits the very act on which a creditor may base an application for a sequestration order which, if granted, will render the debtor's estate insolvent and bring about the liquidation of his assets. From the debtor's perspective, this is probably precisely the situation that he seeks to avert by applying for debt review. Further, sequestration would frustrate the stated purpose of the National Credit Act, which is that debtors should take responsibility for their debts by satisfying them in full. Concurrent creditors might also ultimately receive a dividend which falls far short of what is due to them.The question of whether a debtor's resorting to debt review may or should be the very act that triggers his estate's sequestration and its attendant consequences is an important issue, the treatment of which impacts significantly on the efficacy of the South African consumer debt relief system. This article analyses the most recent judgments and considers whether or not statutory regulation of the position is required.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of the integrated application of nitrogen fertilizer and biofertilizers on the yield, grain filling period, and composition of fatty acids of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius). Split-plot experiments were carried out during the 2011 and 2012 crop seasons. The treatments consisted of seed inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (Azotobacter chroococcum strain 5, Azospirillum lipoferum strain F, and Pseudomonas putida strain 186) in the subplots, including a control without seed inoculation; and of the application of N fertilizer at different rates (60, 120, and 180 kg ha-1 urea) in the main plots, including a control without N. The highest grain yield, grain filling period, and effective grain filling period were obtained by the application of 180 kg ha-1 urea and by seed inoculation with P. putida. The application of high N rates and P. putida inoculation resulted in 25.66% increase of the potential rate of grain filling. Biofertilizer inoculation in seed reduced the contents of saturated fatty acids (palmetic and stearic acids) and increased the contents of unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic, and oleic acids). The suitable amount of N fertilizer (between 120 and 180 kg ha-1 urea) can improve plant growth, and the quantity and quality of oil in seeds treated with P. putida in safflower plants.

Introducción: el docente es un profesional que presenta riesgo para el desarrollo de patologías vocales consideradas enfermedades laborales. En Viña del Mar, el Instituto de seguridad del trabajo (IST) es un centro de referencia para las atenciones médicas de enfermedades laborales. El objetivo del estudio consiste en establecer la incidencia y prevalencia de profesores de Viña del Mar, Chile, que concurrieron al IST con quejas vocales entre 2012 y 2017. Metodología: se adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo, retrospectivo, descriptivo, correlacional y de diseño no experimental. La muestra estuvo conformada por 186 profesores que presentaron quejas vocales relacionadas con su desempeño laboral. Resultados: 167 docentes mujeres y 19 docentes hombres consultaron por problemas vocales; 64.5% docentes de la muestra realizan clases en educación básica. Ningún docente universitario accedió al IST con este tipo de queja. El diagnóstico más recurrente fue de disfonías orgánico-funcionales (75,8%), de las cuales 69,5% fueron dirigidas a terapia vocal en el IST. 14,1% de los docentes fueron diagnosticados con disfonía funcional (también fueron enviados a terapia); sin embargo, 9,4% de los casos, al no cumplir con las características de origen exclusivamente laboral, no recibieron terapia fonoaudiológica en el IST. Conclusión: el docente chileno en la V Región presenta un bajo nivel de consulta por patologías vocales. Los docentes de educación básica son los que más buscan terapia profesional para su voz y la mayor cantidad de afecciones se relacionan con un deficiente conocimiento de técnicas y/o hábitos vocales inadecuados. Es necesaria una inversión mayor en promoción y prevención vocal para este grupo profesional.

Background. Over the last 15 year, DREEM was applied in various educational settings to appraise educational climate. So far, none of article reported its stability in Malaysian medical students.Objective. To determine stability of the DREEM to measure educational climate at different time and occasions using a sample of medical students.Methodology. A prospective cohort study was done on 196 first year medical students. It was administered to the medical students at four different intervals. The Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation analysis were applied to measure internal consistency and agreement level across the intervals. The analysis was done using SPSS 18.Result. A total of 186 (94.9%) medical students responded completely to the DREEM inventory. The overall Cronbach's alpha value of the DREEM at the four measurements ranged between 0.91 and 0.94. The average Cronbach's alpha values of the five subscales ranged between 0.45 and 0.83. The ICC coefficient values for the DREEM total score was 0.67 and its subscales ranged between 0.51 and 0.62.Conclusion. This study supported satisfactory levels of stability and internal consistency of the DREEM to measure educational climate over multiple observations in a sample of Malaysian medical students. Continued research is required to optimise its psychometric credential across educational settings.

INTRODUCTION:Since the creation of the National Committee for Health Technology Incorporation in the Brazilian Health System (CONITEC), a new phase started in the public Brazilian Health System (SUS): a continuous updating of the system based on Health Technology Assessment (HTA). CONITEC was created by federal law in 2012 and is responsible for advising the Ministry of Health regarding the incorporation or disinvestment of health technologies. The whole process involves a strong interaction with society, including the composition of the committee, which has the participation of the National Health Council. The objective of this study was to describe the results of CONITEC in five years of operation.METHODS:This is a retrospective descriptive study, based on information from the database (period 2012–2016) and CONITEC's website.RESULTS:Since 2012, CONITEC assessed 541 technologies, including drugs (360), health products (71) and procedures (110); 303 assessment requests came from SUS agencies and institutions and the other 238 requests from pharmaceutical companies, medical societies, patient associations and the judiciary bodies. In this period, there were 190 public consultations, during which more than 24,000 feedback from society were received. The average time for evaluation was 146 days. The committee recommended the incorporation of 186 technologies into SUS, the disinvestment of 43 and was unfavorable to the incorporation of 88, generating a budgetary impact of approximately BRL2.5 billion (USD764 million).CONCLUSIONS:From 2012–2016, CONITEC tripled the average annual incorporation of new technologies compared to the period 2006–2011. In this process, it was necessary to assess efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of technologies, generating positive results for the expansion of access, health gains for patients and sustainability for the system. It should be considered that the use of evidence for decision making strengthens transparency in public management and the development of active processes of information, communication and social participation.

Introducción. Se hizo homicidio es un indicador universal de violencia social con grandes consecuencias en salud pública.Objetivo. Describir la mortalidad por homicidios, y analizar su tendencia y su distribución geográfica en Colombia entre 1998 y 2012.Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio descriptivo basado en la información de las bases de datos sobre mortalidad y las proyecciones de población del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística, DANE. Se calcularon las tasas de mortalidad específica y ajustada por edad y sexo. Se analizó la distribución geográfica del promedio de tasas ajustadas a nivel municipal.Resultados. En Colombia se registraron 331.470 homicidios entre 1998 y 2012. La tasa cruda promedio fue de 51,5 por 100.000 habitantes: 95,9 en hombres y 8,2 en mujeres. A partir del 2003 se observó una disminución en el número de muertes y tasas de mortalidad. El 91,9 % de las víctimas fueron hombres. Las tasas de mortalidad más altas se observaron en el grupo de 20 a 29 años. El mecanismo más frecuentemente involucrado fue el arma de fuego: en ocho de cada diez homicidios en hombres y en siete de cada diez en mujeres. De los 1.122 municipios, 186 estaban en el quintil más alto y acumularon el 50,1 % de las defunciones.Conclusión. En Colombia los homicidios han sido una de las principales causas de muerte, con una distribución geográfica heterogénea y una tendencia hacia la reducción después de 2002. El análisis y la comprensión de este problema de salud pública exigen el uso de metodologías analíticas multidisciplinarias.

The morphology and electrical properties, tactile sensing properties of carbon micro-coils (CMC) composite sheet were examined. Frequency dependence of electrical parameters; inductance (L), capacitance (C) and impedance (Z) were measured on single and double-helix composite sheets. It was found that these parameters of carbon micro-coils/polysilicone composites extensively changed with the additional amount of CMC with polysilicone resine. It was also observed that the higher additional amount (0 - 10 wt%) of CMC is appropriate for high sensitivity as a tactile sensor.

<p>Em 2012 o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) se pronunciou acerca de uma ação judicial denominada Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental (ADPF) n. 186 emitindo sua posição sobre as políticas de ação afirmativa em curso nas universidades brasileiras a mais de dez anos. A decisão, um extenso Acórdão entremeado com concepções jurídicas e filosóficas, discorre sobre políticas públicas de educação superior que visam promover os ideais de igualdade e liberdade desde uma perspectiva substancial ou conforme condicionantes materiais presentes no cotidiano da sociedade brasileira. O olhar dos julgadores estava voltado, de forma preponderante, à ausência de estudantes negros nas universidades e instituições federais de ensino superior. Outra ausência examinada é a de estudantes indígenas. O tema emerge nos debates que antecedem a decisão final da corte constitucional e no próprio julgamento, os quais resultam posteriormente na Lei Federal n. 12.711/2012 (Lei de Cotas). O Acórdão de uma instância judicial superior possui a prerrogativa de servir como uma espécie de modelo a orientar as ações do Estado brasileiro. A partir de um eixo de análise estabelecido em torno das categorias “etnia” e “raça”, o presente estudo de antropologia jurídica busca examinar a configuração da presença ameríndia no repertório da corte constitucional brasileira, bem como trazer uma síntese dos fundamentos destes conceitos.</p>

The aim of this work was to analyse the effect of K, P and N supplies on the yield of winter barley in a long-term mineral fertilisation experiment with clearly distinct soil nutrient supply levels in order to develop fertilisation guidelines for winter barley growers. The experiment was set up in 1989 on a chernozem meadow soil calcareous in the deeper layers, applying all possible combinations of 4 levels each of N, P and K fertiliser, giving a total of 64 treatments. The results of analyses performed in 2011 and 2012 can be summarised as follows: In 2011, when rainfall supplies were deficient in the shooting phase, improved K supplies (324 mg kg-1 AL-K2O) increased the grain yield, but in 2012, when rainfall supplies were more evenly distributed, K supply levels in the range 210–335 mg kg-1 AL-K2O had no significant influence on the yield of winter barley. An analysis of the P treatments revealed that, compared to the 119–133 mg kg-1 AL-P2O5 level (P0), better P supplies (186–251 mg kg-1) led to a significant increase in the grain yield. In both years rising N rates significantly increased the yield up to an annual N rate of 160 kg ha-1. 4. A K×N interaction could only be detected in the nutrient supplies of winter barley in 2011. The yield-increasing effect of N fertiliser was more pronounced at better K supply levels, while K fertiliser led to higher yields in the case of better N supplies.

Condoms remain a cost-effective and relatively simple intervention to prevent HIV infection. However, condom use is still very low, particularly among youths aged 15 to 24. 348 individuals (186 males and 162 females) completed a pre-tested questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with condom use. Out of 348 respondents, 296 (85.0%) were sexually experienced, and 260 (87.8%) reported noncondom use in the past 3 months prior to the study. Among men, noncondom use was independently associated with feeling shy to buy condoms (AOR = 1.16; 95% CI 1.12–1.34), condoms reducing sexual pleasure (AOR = 8.19; 95% CI 3.98–17.01), and HIV is a serious and deadly disease (AOR = 0.36; 95% CI 0.28–0.46). Among women, experiencing forced sex (AOR = 1.16; 95% CI 1.10–2.78), condoms reduce sexual pleasure (AOR = 8.29; 95% CI 3.36–20.73), and inability to convince a partner to use condoms (AOR = 1.14; 95% CI 1.04–1.28) were predictors of noncondom use. In conclusion, sexually active youths in this population practice risky sexual behaviours, with low condom use practices. Strategies to improve condom use should address these psychosocial barriers associated with noncondom use.

Abstract Background Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) has been proven a safe and efficient alternative to laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) in patients with gastro-intestinal reflux disease (GERD). Aim of this study was to compare the matched outcome of patients with GERD following MSA and LNF, respectivelyMagnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) has been proven a safe and efficient alternative to laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) in patients with gastro-intestinal reflux disease (GERD). Aim of this study was to compare the matched outcome of patients with GERD following MSA and LNF, respectively Methods Out of a prospective database, an analysis was conducted including patients that underwent MSA and LNF, respectively, between 2012 and 2017 at our institution. Patients were matched using propensity scores including selected criteria. Postoperative outcomes were assessed through reflux-symptoms, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) intake, GERD-Health-related-Quality-of-Life (GERD-HRQL) and Alimentary Satisfaction (AS). Results From a total of 323 patients, 186 patients that met our inclusion criteria were matched. At a median follow-up of 1.5 years there was no difference in the GERD-HRQL (2.5 MSA vs. 1 LNF, P = 0.341), AS (8/10 MSA vs 9/10 LNF, P = 0.175), regular PPI-intake (15% MSA vs. 6% LNF, P = 0.058) or heartburn elimination (73% MSA and LNF) between the two groups. We observed similar side-effect rates concerning persistent dysphagia (1% MSA and LNF) and gas-bloating (17% MSA vs. 15% LNF, P = 0.690). However, in patients after MSA the ability to belch and/or vomit was higher (87% MSA vs. 70% LNF, P = 0.05). Conclusion Mid-term outcome of patients after MSA for the treatment of GERD is comparable to patients treated with LNF. Patients after MSA showed a higher ability to belch and/or vomit when compared to patients after LNF. This study encourages MSA as alternative first-line treatment in patients with non-severe GERD Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Background. Corneal blindness from healed infected keratitis is one of the most preventable causes of monocular blindness in developing countries, including Malaysia. Our objectives were to identify the causative fungi, predisposing risk factors, the proportion of correct clinical diagnosis, and visual outcome of patients treated in our hospital.Methods. A retrospective review of medical and microbiology records was conducted for all patients who were treated for fungal keratitis at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia from January 2007 until December 2011.Results. Forty-seven patients (47/186, 25.27%) were treated for fungal keratitis during the study period. This demonstrated that the incidence of fungal keratitis has increased each year from 2007 to 2011 by 12.50%, 17.65%, 21.21%, 26.83%, and 28.57%, respectively. The most common predisposing factors were injury to the eye followed by use of topical steroid, and preexisting ocular surface disease.Fusariumspecies were the most common fungal isolated, followed byCandidaspecies. Clinical diagnosis of fungal keratitis was made in 26 of the 41 (63.41%) cases of positive isolates. Of these, in eleven cases (23.40%) patients required surgical intervention. Clinical outcome of healed scar was achieved in 34 (72.34%) cases.Conclusions. The percentage of positive fungal isolated has steadily increased and the trend of common fungal isolated has changed. The latest review regarding fungal keratitis is important for us to improve patients' outcome in the future.

ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize approach methods for intradomiciliary contacts (IdC) of leprosy cases resident in Northern Brazil, during 2001-2012. Method: A cross-sectional and descriptive study in the state of Rondônia. Included IdC of leprosy cases diagnosed/reported in SINAN-Ministry of Health (MS), 2001-2012. A semi-structured instrument was applied to the IdCs, with six interventions: complete dermatological examination; complete neurological examination; BCG vaccination; instructions for return to the health unit; BCG guidance; and guidance to mobilize other contacts. Results: From a total of 459 IdCs included, failure to perform the dermatological examination was reported by 191 people (41.6%) and the neurological examination, by 252 (54.9%); 138 (30.1%) did not have BCG indicated and 122 (26.6%) did not receive guidelines; 257 (56.0%) were not advised to return for a new evaluation/follow-up and 186 (40.5%) were not asked to mobilize other contacts. Conclusion: Despite the favorable indicators of IdC examination coverage in the state, the evaluation process presents patterns that indicate operational quality failures.

Introduction: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a particular form of endometriosis that penetrates the peritoneal surface or it reaches the subserosal neurovascular plexus. Aim: The aim of the authors was to analyze the results of segmental colorectal resections performed for deep infiltrating endometriosis. Method: Between 2009 and 2012, 50 patients underwent segmental rectum or/and sigmoid resection for endometriosis. Results: 21 patients had ultralow rectal resection and 29 patients had low colorectal anastomosis or anterior resection. Concomitant intervention in other organs was required in all cases, including gynecologic procedures (n = 50), additional gynecologic (n = 47), vesical (n = 9) and ureteral (n = 18) resections. The mean number of endometriosis lesions was 2.4±1.8 per patient. In all patients fertility was preserved. Severe surgical complications (Clavien–Dindo stage III or more severe) occurred in 3 patients (6%). Conclusions: The results confirm that segmental bowel resection is an efficient and safe method for the treatment of deep infiltrating colorectal endometriosis. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(5), 182–186.

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) caused byNeisseria meningitidisserogroup Y has increased in Europe, especially in Scandinavia. In Sweden, serogroup Y is now the dominating serogroup, and in 2012, the serogroup Y disease incidence was 0.46/100,000 population. We previously showed that a strain type belonging to sequence type 23 was responsible for the increased prevalence of this serogroup in Sweden. The objective of this study was to investigate the serogroup Y emergence by whole-genome sequencing and compare the meningococcal population structure of Swedish invasive serogroup Y strains to those of other countries with different IMD incidence. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on invasive serogroup Y isolates from 1995 to 2012 in Sweden (n= 186). These isolates were compared to a collection of serogroup Y isolates from England, Wales, and Northern Ireland from 2010 to 2012 (n= 143), which had relatively low serogroup Y incidence, and two isolates obtained in 1999 in the United States, where serogroup Y remains one of the major causes of IMD. The meningococcal population structures were similar in the investigated regions; however, different strain types were prevalent in each geographic region. A number of genes known or hypothesized to have an impact on meningococcal virulence were shown to be associated with different strain types and subtypes. The reasons for the IMD increase are multifactorial and are influenced by increased virulence, host adaptive immunity, and transmission. Future genome-wide association studies are needed to reveal additional genes associated with serogroup Y meningococcal disease, and this work would benefit from a complete serogroup Y meningococcal reference genome.

Close friendships become important at middle-school age and are unexplored in adolescents born prematurely. The study aimed to characterize friendship behaviors of formerly preterm infants at age 12 and explore similarities and differences between preterm and full-term peers on dyadic friendship types. From the full sample ofN=186, one hundred sixty-six 12-year-old adolescents (40 born full term, 126 born preterm) invited a close friend to a 1.5 hour videotaped laboratory play session. Twenty adolescents were unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts or developmental disability. Characteristic friendship behaviors were identified by Q-sort followed by Q-factoring analysis. Friendship duration, age, and contact differed between the full-term and preterm groups but friendship activities, behaviors, and quality were similar despite school service use. Three Q-factors, leadership, distancing, and mutual playfulness, were most characteristic of all dyads, regardless of prematurity. These prospective, longitudinal findings demonstrate diminished prematurity effects at adolescence in peer friendship behavior and reveal interpersonal dyadic processes that are important to peer group affiliation and other areas of competence.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the presence of the urinary 90 kDa N-domain ACE in a cohort of the population from Vitoria, Brazil, to verify its association with essential hypertension since this isoform could be a possible genetic marker of hypertension. Anthropometric, clinical, and laboratory parameters of the individuals were evaluated (n=1150) and the blood pressure (BP) was measured. The study population was divided according to ACE isoforms in urine as follows: ACE 65/90/190, presence of three ACE isoforms (n=795), ACE 90+(65/90) (n=186), and ACE 90−(65/190) (n=169) based on the presence (+) or absence (−) of the 90 kDa ACE isoform. The anthropometric parameters, lipid profile, serum levels of uric acid, glucose, and the systolic and diastolic BP were significantly greater in the ACE 90+compared with the ACE 90−and ACE 65/90/190 individuals. We found that 98% of individuals from the ACE 90+group and 38% from the ACE 65/90/190 group had hypertension, compared to only 1% hypertensive individuals in the ACE 90−group. There is a high presence of the 90 kDa N-domain ACE isoform (85%) in the studied population. The percentile of normotensive subjects with three isoforms was 62%. Our findings could contribute to the development of new efficient strategy to prevent and treat hypertension to avoid the development of cardiovascular disease.

The main infectious agent that causes contamination of poultry products are bacteria of the genus Salmonella. The article presents the results of monitoring studies on salmonellosis among poultry of different technological direction of poultry farms of all forms of ownership in Ukraine. In the analysis of the results of the incidence of salmonellosis in poultry used Reports on the work of state laboratories of veterinary medicine of the State Food and Consumer Services of Ukraine for 2012–2021. Data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine were also used during the work on the article. It was found that for the period 2012–2021, the total number of samples tested for salmonellosis was 306466, of which 932 were positive, which was 0.3 %. It is established that the number of studies in certain years differs greatly in number. After all, the peak number of studies fell on 2012 (51985 samples), but in 2020 it was only 25.796 samples or 49.6 % to the peak level of studies. The highest percentage of pathogen isolation was observed in the period from 2013 to 2015, respectively 0.39, 0.48 % and 0.38 %. In 2016–2018, there was a decrease in the number of positive samples, respectively, the number of positive samples was 0.24–0.33 %, the lowest percentage in 2019–2021, the number of positive samples was minimal and amounted to 0.05 %, 0.22 % and 0.13 %. Thus, there is a clear trend of decreasing the amount of pathogen. The largest number of positive samples of biological material for salmonellosis in the period 2012–2021 was found in Sumy and Luhansk regions, 156 and 186 samples, respectively. Slightly fewer positive samples were found in Kharkiv (117), Kirovohrad (79), Cherkasy (71), Zaporizhia (51), Donetsk (45), Kyiv (30) and Zhytomyr (30) regions. The pathogen Salmonella spp. in Zakarpattia, Rivne and Chernivtsi regions.

Objetivo: Determinar taxas de definição diagnóstica e complicações da biópsia percutânea guiada por tomografia computadorizada (TC) de lesões ósseas suspeitas de malignidade. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo que incluiu 186 casos de biópsia percutânea guiada por TC de lesões ósseas no período de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2012. Todas as amostras foram obtidas usando agulhas de 8 a 10 gauge. Foram coletados dados demográficos, história de neoplasia maligna prévia, dados relacionados à lesão, ao procedimento e ao resultado histológico. Resultados: A maioria dos pacientes era do sexo feminino (57%) e a idade média foi 53,0 ± 16,4 anos. Em 139 casos (74,6%) a suspeita diagnóstica era metástase e os tumores primários mais comuns foram de mama (32,1%) e próstata (11,8%). Os ossos mais envolvidos foram coluna vertebral (36,0%), bacia (32,8%) e ossos longos (18,3%). Houve complicações em apenas três pacientes (1,6%), incluindo uma fratura, um caso de parestesia com comprometimento funcional e uma quebra da agulha necessitando remoção cirúrgica. Amostras de 183 lesões (98,4%) foram consideradas adequadas para diagnóstico. Resultados malignos foram mais frequentes nos pacientes com suspeita de lesão secundária e história de neoplasia maligna conhecida (p < 0,001) e nos procedimentos orientados pela PET/CT (p = 0,011). Conclusão: A biópsia percutânea guiada por TC é segura e eficaz no diagnóstico de lesões ósseas suspeitas.

Depois de mais de uma década de intensa discussão sobre a legalidade e a constitucionalidade do sistema de vagas reservadas para negros no ensino universitário, em 26 de abril de 2012, a Suprema Corte Brasileira, por meio da Ação de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental (ADPF) 186, declarou a constitucionalidade do Plano de Metas de Inclusão Étnico-Racial instituído pela Universidade de Brasília UnB). Para a Suprema Corte, as cotas, ao utilizarem do critério racial para inclusão destes homens e mulheres negras nas universidades, estavam exercendo uma política de reparação e construindo possibilidades de ampliar a igualdade material e simbólica no Brasil...

We conducted a matched case-control study to examine the association between heavy precipitation events and waterborne outbreaks (WBOs) by linking epidemiological registries and meteorological data between 1992 and 2012 in four Nordic countries. Heavy precipitation events were defined by above average (exceedance) daily rainfall during the preceding weeks using local references. We performed conditional logistic regression using the four previous years as the controls. Among WBOs with known onset date (n = 89), exceedance rainfall on two or more days was associated with occurrence of outbreak, OR = 3.06 (95% CI 1.38–6.78), compared to zero exceedance days. Stratified analyses revealed a significant association with single household water supplies, ground water as source and for outbreaks occurring during spring and summer. These findings were reproduced in analyses including all WBOs with known outbreak month (n = 186). The vulnerability of single households to WBOs associated with heavy precipitation events should be communicated to homeowners and implemented into future policy planning to reduce the risk of waterborne illness.

The bigfin reef squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana is a neritic species widely distributed in coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific region and is of interest to fisheries for its high commercial value. Squid samples were collected from Keelung (KL) and Penghu (PH), around northern Taiwan from October 2012 to September 2013. A total of 949 squid were examined, and 620 squid were aged using statoliths. The age range of the squid in KL (55–183 days) was similar to that in PH (77–186 days). The squid hatched almost year-round, except in January and December in KL. Two seasonal cohorts were identified: a spring cohort (hatched in March to May) and an autumn cohort (July to October). Concentrations of nine trace elements in statoliths were analysed using solution-based inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Significant differences in Fe/Ca, Cu/Ca and Sr/Ca were found between the two locations, while significant differences in concentration ratios of Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca were noted between the two seasonal cohorts. Results of a principal component analysis and cluster analysis varied in life-history traits between the two geographic stocks and in elemental concentrations between the two seasonal cohorts. Squid in KL and PH might undertake different migration routes, while seasonal variability in oceanographic conditions was apparent in the two locations.

La lesión pulmonar aguda producida por transfusión (TRALI) es un síndrome grave y potencialmente mortal. La FDA ha informado que TRALI es la principal causa muertes relacionadas con transfusiones durante muchos años, con el 34% de las víctimas mortales de TRALI (64/186 reportaron muertes relacionadas con transfusiones entre 2012 y 2016). La asociación entre el antígeno humano de neutrófilos (HNA) o antígeno leucocitario humano (HLA) que se encuentran en los anticuerpos en sangre de donantes asocia los síndromes de TRALI y TACO. Con síntomas sugestivos dentro de las 6 horas posteriores a una transfusión sanguínea e infiltrados en una radiografía de tórax indicando de la presencia de edema pulmonar. Este síndrome ha mejorado mucho durante las dos últimas décadas, se han implementado medidas para mitigar el riesgo de TRALI en todo el mundo.

More than 4700 nominal family-group names (including names for fossils and ichnotaxa) are nomenclaturally available in the order Coleoptera. Since each family-group name is based on the concept of its type genus, we argue that the stability of names used for the classification of beetles depends on accurate nomenclatural data for each type genus. Following a review of taxonomic literature, with a focus on works that potentially contain type species designations, we provide a synthesis of nomenclatural data associated with the type genus of each nomenclaturally available family-group name in Coleoptera. For each type genus the author(s), year of publication, and page number are given as well as its current status (i.e., whether treated as valid or not) and current classification. Information about the type species of each type genus and the type species fixation (i.e., fixed originally or subsequently, and if subsequently, by whom) is also given. The original spelling of the family-group name that is based on each type genus is included, with its author(s), year, and stem. We append a list of nomenclaturally available family-group names presented in a classification scheme. Because of the importance of the Principle of Priority in zoological nomenclature, we provide information on the date of publication of the references cited in this work, when known. Several nomenclatural issues emerged during the course of this work. We therefore appeal to the community of coleopterists to submit applications to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (henceforth “Commission”) in order to permanently resolve some of the problems outlined here. The following changes of authorship for type genera are implemented here (these changes do not affect the concept of each type genus): CHRYSOMELIDAE: Fulcidax Crotch, 1870 (previously credited to “Clavareau, 1913”); CICINDELIDAE: Euprosopus W.S.

Objectives: The Quebec Trauma Care Continuum (TCC) was initiated in 1991 with the objective of providing accessible, continuous, efficient, and high quality services for all injury cases in the province.Methods: The TCC design relied on three key components: (i) the designation of a network of acute care and rehabilitation facilities with specific mandates and responsibilities; (ii) the elaboration of transfer protocols, standing agreements, and governing structures to ensure fluid and optimal patient flow; and (iii) the close monitoring of several indicators to facilitate the continuous evaluation and improvement of the network.Results: Between 1992 and 2002, in-hospital mortality following major trauma decreased from 51.8 percent to 8.6 percent, followed by an additional 24 percent drop between 1999 and 2012. We also observed a 16 percent decrease in average LOS but no change in the incidence of complications or unplanned readmissions. These changes translate into 186 lives saved per year and cost savings, due to shorter LOS, of 6.3 million CD$ per year. The risk-adjusted incidence of in-hospital mortality following major injury between 2006 and 2012 (7 percent) was the lowest of all Canadian provinces.Conclusions: Strategic transformation of a network's structure and processes, supported by continuous monitoring of validated quality indicators, can lead to significant and sustainable improvements in clinical outcomes. It is hoped that the Quebec trauma story will inspire other jurisdictions and other healthcare sectors.

OBJECTIVE: To better understand the characteristic morphology of angiogenic squamous dysplasia (ASD) and its association with different types of common bronchogenic carcinomas using routine white light bronchoscopy.METHODS: Using a case-control design, 186 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of bronchial tissue (136 cases, 50 controls) obtained from patients who underwent routine nonfluorescence bronchoscopy between 2004 and 2005 were studied.RESULTS: ASD occurred at a higher frequency in patients with neoplastic lesions compared with those without neoplastic lesions (28 of 136 versus one of 50). ASD was also more prevalent in patients with squamous cell carcinoma compared with other neoplasms. Seventy six per cent of the ASD patients (22 of 29) smoked cigarettes. The morphology of ASD on hematoxylin and eosin- and CD31-stained sections was characterized by prominent microvasculature and capillary projections closely juxtaposed to variable degrees of dysplasia in all of the bronchogenic carcinoma specimens, and to metaplasia in one case in the control group.CONCLUSION: ASD is a unique morphological entity that should be considered by pathologists even on bronchoscopic biopsies from patients who undergo white light bronchoscopy. The presence of ASD may represent a risk biomarker of bronchogenic carcinoma in screening programs and in chemoprevention of lung cancer.

Effectiveness of different doses of neem extracts and a synthetic organic insecticide against mustard aphid was studied in the experimental farm of the Oilseed Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Joydebpur, Gazipur, during two consecutive years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 for the control of mustard aphid. Eight treatments were evaluated against mustard aphid under field condition. The maximum aphid population was (180 per plant) observed at the pod formation stage of mustard crop. Among the treatments, Malataf (Malathion 57EC) @ 2ml/l significantly reduced the highest aphid population (93.75%) over pretreatment which produced the highest seed yield (1440 kg/ha) of mustard. The neem leaf extracts reduced 63.16-72.55% aphid population in mustard while neem seed extract reduced 73-81% aphid population over pretreated plants in both the years. Among the different doses of neem extracts, the highest aphid population reduction over pretreatment (81%) was recorded from 50g neem seed per litre of water treated plots with high MBCR (3.88) followed by 75g neem seed/l treated plots having reduction of 80% and MBCR 3.78.

Objective. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies that could be a cause of malocclusion in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods. A retrospective study of 878 digital orthopantomograms (OPGs) taken of patients, age ranging between 12 and 30 years, who presented to treatment at the Faculty of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between 2002 and 2011. The OPGs and dental records were reviewed for congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, impactions, ectopic eruption, transposition, germination, fusion, dilacerations, taurodontism, dens in dent, and any other unusual conditions that can be assessed with OPG. Results. The prevalence of patient that exhibited at least one dental anomaly was 396 (45.1%) patients. The prevalence of congenitally missing teeth was 226 (25.7%), impacted teeth 186 (21.1%), dilacerated teeth 10 (1.1%), supernumerary teeth 3 (0.3%), odontoma 1 (0.1%), and taurodontism was also 1 case (0.1%) of the total radiographs reviewed. Conclusions. Congenitally missing teeth were found to be the most prevalent anomaly (25.7%), and the second frequent anomaly was impacted teeth (21.1%), whereas root dilacerations, supernumerary teeth, and taurodontism were the least frequent anomalies (1.1%, 0.3% and 0.1%, resp.).

This study examines the development of research on bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) nanoparticles through a bibliometric approach with computational mapping analysis using VOSviewer. Journal article data was obtained from the Google Scholar database using the Publish or Perish application. The keywords used to search related journals are Bi2O3, nanoparticles, chemistry, bismuth oxide. There were 998 journal articles related to keywords. The range of journal articles searched from the Google Scholar database is the last 10 years (2012 – 2022). The results show that research Bi2O3 nanoparticles can be separated into 3 terms: nanoparticle, Bi2O3, bismuth oxide. Nanoparticle term which is included in cluster 3 with 186 links total, 812 total link strength, and 163 occurrences. The second term is Bi2O3 which belongs to cluster 7 with a total of 213 links, a total link strength of 1550, and occurrences of 189 and a bismuth oxide term which belongs to cluster 4 with a total of 230 links, a total link strength of 2080, and 401 occurrences. The results of the analysis of research developments in the last 10 years show a slight fluctuation. In 2012 – 2013 there was an increase in the number of studies from 34 to 62 (28 studies). However, in 2013 – 2016 it decreased from 62 to 53 (9 studies). In 2016 – 2022 again experienced a significant increase from 53 to 152 (99 studies). With the results of this study, the development of research on Bi2O3 nanoparticles shows that this research has great opportunities that can be explored again.

The relatively small order Dermaptera (commonly called “earwigs”) is comprised of more than 1900 described species mainly distributed in the Afrotropics, Southeastern Asia and South America, while a small number of species occur in the warmer temperate regions of North America, Europe, Asia and Australia (Hudson 1973; Popham 2000; Haas et al. 2011). In the Balkans and Turkey, this insect order is understudied and knowledge about the distribution and ecology of the earwig fauna is scattered (Haas & Henderickx 2002; Anlaş et al. 2010; Anlaş & Kočárek 2012; Muranyi 2013; Haas 2015). In Greece 16 species have been recorded so far (Haas 2015, 2018), showing greater diversity than other countries in the Balkans (Muranyi 2013). From the poorly studied North Aegean Islands, four earwig species are reported (Haas 2015), namely Anisolabis maritima (Bonelli, 1832), Forficula auricularia Linnaeus, 1758, F. lurida Fischer, 1853 and Labidura riparia (Pallas, 1773).
