Labor economics and disability: reflections around public health
No full textLa prevalencia de la discapacidad en el mundo es un fenómeno persistente. La Organización Mundial de la Salud y el Banco Mundial afirman que el 15% de la población del mundo está afectada por algún tipo de discapacidad. La inclusión laboral es uno de los obstáculos más grandes que enfrenta este grupo poblacional. Esta realidad se ve reflejada en aspectos como la probabilidad de tener empleo, la generación de ingresos entre otros. Estos aspectos, que son de naturaleza económica, son abordados la mayor parte de las veces desde disciplinas diferentes a la economÍa, potenciando en ocasiones un enfoque poco integral y asistencialista de este problema. Objetivo: Establecer y analizar desde el punto de vista económico cuales son los principales factores que inciden sobre las posibilidades laborales de la población en discapacidad. Conclusiones: la revisión permite identificar que las condiciones bajo las que viven las personas en discapacidad son desventajosas debido a prejuicios sociales, pero también por la ausencia de consideración expresa de los obstáculos que enfrentan para integrarse a todas las situaciones de la vida.

Reassociation kinetics-based approach for partial genome sequencing of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
No full textBackground: The size and repetitive nature of the Rhipicephalus microplus genome makes obtaining a full genome sequence fiscally and technically problematic. To selectively obtain gene-enriched regions of this tick's genome, Cot filtration was performed, and Cot-filtered DNA was sequenced via 454 FLX pyrosequencing.Results: The sequenced Cot-filtered genomic DNA was assembled with an EST-based gene index of 14,586 unique entries where each EST served as a potential "seed" for scaffold formation. The new sequence assembly extended the lengths of 3,913 of the 14,586 gene index entries. Over half of the extensions corresponded to extensions of over 30 amino acids. To survey the repetitive elements in the tick genome, the complete sequences of five BAC clones were determined. Both Class I and II transposable elements were found. Comparison of the BAC and Cot filtration data indicates that Cot filtration was highly successful in filtering repetitive DNA out of the genomic DNA used in 454 sequencing.Conclusion: Cot filtration is a very useful strategy to incorporate into genome sequencing projects on organisms with large genome sizes and which contain high percentages of repetitive, difficult to assemble, genomic DNA. Combining the Cot selection approach with 454 sequencing and assembly with a pre-existing EST database as seeds resulted in extensions of 27% of the members of the EST database
EARLINET observations of the 14-22-May long-range dust transport event during SAMUM 2006: validation of results from dust transport modelling RID A-7951-2010 RID F-8484-2011
No full textWe observed a long-range transport event of mineral dust from North Africa to South Europe during the Saharan Mineral
Dust Experiment (SAMUM) 2006. Geometrical and optical properties of that dust plume were determined with Sun
photometer of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) and Raman lidar near the North African source region, and
with Sun photometers of AERONET and lidars of the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) in the
far field in Europe. Extinction-to-backscatter ratios of the dust plume over Morocco and Southern Europe do not differ.
Ångstr ̈om exponents increase with distance from Morocco. We simulated the transport, and geometrical and optical
properties of the dust plume with a dust transport model. The model results and the experimental data show similar
times regarding the appearance of the dust plume over each EARLINET site. Dust optical depth from the model agrees
in most cases to particle optical depth measured with the Sun photometers. The vertical distribution of the mineral dust
could be satisfactorily reproduced, if we use as benchmark the extinction profiles measured with lidar. In some cases
we find differences. We assume that insufficient vertical resolution of the dust plume in the model calculations is one
reason for these deviations

Introdução: A prevalência da deficiência em todo o mundo é um fenômeno persistente. A Organização Mundial de Saúde e o Banco Mundial dizem que 15% da população mundial sofre de algum tipo de deficiência. A inclusão laboral deste grupo populacional é um dos maiores obstáculos por eles enfrentados. Essa realidade é sentida por este grupo em muitos aspectos, como a probabilidade de emprego e a geração de renda, entre outros. Estes aspectos, de natureza econômica, na maioria das vezes são abordados a partir de outras disciplinas diferentes da economia, caracterizando-os com um padrão assistencialista e pouco integral. Objetivo: Estabelecer e analisar, do ponto de vista econômico, quais são os principais fatores que afetam o mundo laboral e a possibilidade de emprego da população com deficiência. Conclusões: A avaliação permite reconhecer que as pessoas com deficiência estão em desvantagem por causa do preconceito social, mas também por não haver um reconhecimento explícito dos obstáculos que enfrentam para integrar-se a todos os aspectos da vida.

Strain relaxation mechanism in hexagonal and cubic nitride heterostructures grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy
No full textAnaesthesia and cancer: can anaesthetic drugs modify gene expression?
No full textCancer remains a primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and its incidence continues to increase. The most common cause of death in cancer patients is tumour recurrence. Surgery is the gold standard in the treatment of most tumours. However, cancer surgery can lead to the release of tumour cells into the systemic circulation. Surgical stress and several perioperative factors have been suggested to boost tumour growth, thereby increasing the risk of metastatic recurrence. Preclinical and clinical studies suggest that anaesthetics and adjuvants administered during the perioperative period may impact cancer recurrence and survival. This document summarises the current evidence regarding the effects of anaesthetic drugs and analgesic techniques on the immune system, systemic inflammatory response and tumour cells, as well as their impact on cancer recurrence
Broodstock management and seed production of tilapia and carp
No full textBighead (Aristichthys nobilis) and silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) carps were reared in ponds, pens and floating cages in Laguna Lake until maturity. Spontaneous gonadal maturation and rematuration of carp broodstock occurred within 2-2.5 years with average weight of 3-4 kg. Under lake conditions, broodstock were not given supplemental feeds. Induced spawning of gravid females was done by intraperitoneal injections using HCG combined with either common carp pituitary homogenates or LHRH-A. Stripping and dry-fertilization of eggs were done 6-8 hr after the final injection. Eggs were incubated in water containing 300-500 ppm Total Hardness. Fertilization and hatching rates were 23-88% and 7-36%, respectively. Post-larval carps were reared in tanks and fine-meshed nylon net cages installed in manured ponds. Tank-reared post-larvae were fed with Brachionus plicatilis and subsequently with Moina macrocopa in combination with powered formulated feeds containing 40% crude protein. Fry were harvested and stocked in nursery cages after 30-45 days of rearing in tanks.
Four-month old 50-100 g tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) stocked in hapa net cages, tanks or ponds were used for breeding. Egg and fry production was significantly high at 4 females/m2 stocking density Different sex ratios, however, did not affect fry production. Spawning frequency and total growth of broodstock was highest in fry fed formulated diets containing 50% crude protein. Harvesting of fry was done every 15 days during summer months and every 21 days during cold months. Fry were reared in tanks and hapa cages and fed diets containing 35% crude protein. Supplemental feeding in the lake was suspended when productivity reached 3 gC/m2 /day
