‘Born to Shop’: Malls, Dream-Worlds and Capitalism
No full textIt has been twenty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a new generation, untouched by the previous communist regimes, has come to adulthood throughout the post-communist world. The Iulius Group’s logo – ‘Born to shop!’ – suggests that these are born shoppers: the capitalist babies of Central and Eastern Europe who are sustaining the largest growth in retail and shopping malls in Europe. With no living memory of shortages, queuing, or government restrictions, they know only the limit of their own – or their parents’ – pocket/credit. Their world could not be more different from the one that their parents and grandparents experienced: both the abundance of goods and services, as well as the opulent settings under which they are now sold, offer striking visual contrasts to the not-so-distant past. In addition, the very experience of consumption is directly connected to the way in which the current social fabric – and new social divisions within it – is interwoven with the physical and architectural changes taking place in the urban setting
Is Sustainable Development of Deserts Feasible?
No full textHot deserts that presently cover about one-fifth of the land area of our planet are rapidly devouring more and more arable lands mostly due to anthropogenic causes. We propose an interdisciplinary approach to revitalizing and commercializing hot deserts, which is based on systems thinking and Russian and NASA space technology experience in designing life-support systems for long-duration flights. We formulate ten principles for the design of sustainable life support systems in deserts, which can make the development of the deserts feasible. It is discussed how the principles can be employed to design and operate desert’s eco-industrial parks with greenhouses in which the transpired and evaporated moisture is collected and condensed. The potential benefits of setting up the eco-industrial parks in deserts include the slowdown and eventual reversal of the desertification trend, the migration of many industrial production facilities from mild-climate regions to deserts, the increased availability of potable water and food in deserts, the development of poor African countries, and the emergence of new investment markets
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Avaliação in vitro do efeito da desproteinização da dentina decídua de humanos na união de sistemas adesivos
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia, Florianópolis, 2009.O objetivo deste estudo, in vitro, foi avaliar a resistência de união à microtração e a nanoinfiltração, após desproteinização da dentina decídua humana. Foram utilizadas coroas de molares decíduos hígidos, as quais tiveram a superfície oclusal desgastada com lixas de carbeto de silício, até a completa exposição da superfície dentinária, e para padronização da smear layer. Os espécimes foram distribuídos em seis grupos, de acordo com o tipo de tratamento (condicionamento ácido - CA ou CA + hipoclorito de sódio - NaOCl) e os sistemas adesivos: One Step Plus - Bisco (OSP), Single Bond - 3M ESPE (SB), Prime & Bond 2.1 - Dentsply (PB). Para o procedimento de desproteinização foi utilizado hipoclorito de sódio 10% por 30s. Os sistemas adesivos e a resina (Filtek Z 250 - 3M ESPE) foram aplicados de acordo com as recomendações dos fabricantes e os espécimes armazenados em água destilada (37ºC/24h). As coroas foram seccionadas obtendo-se palitos (0,8mm2), os quais foram imediatamente submetidos ao teste de resistência à microtração (Instron - 0,5mm/min), até fratura dos corpos-de-prova. Os valores obtidos foram analisados por ANOVA e teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Os corpos-de-prova foram levados ao microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV), para visualização do tipo de fratura e os dados submetidos ao teste de Kruskal-Wallis (p<0,05).A nanoinfiltração foi avaliada utilizando-se palitos e nitrato de prata amoniacal como marcador químico. A deposição da prata foi visualizada ao MEV e analisada de duas formas: 1. Em porcentagem (%), em três regiões do palito, utilizando-se espectometria por energia dispersa por raio-x (EDS); 2. Atribuição de escores pela avaliação das fotomicrografias obtidas ao MEV. Os dados (%) foram analisados por ANOVA e teste de Tukey (p<0,05) e os escores submetidos aos testes de Kruskal-Wallis e U de Mann-Whitney (p<0,05).Os valores médios obtidos para o teste de microtração sem desproteinização foram [MPa(DP)]: PB - 35,95(6,12); SB - 28,82(6,38); OSP - 24,59(6,10); e após desproteinização: PB - 41,47(6,79); OSP - 31,09(9,16); SB - 25,55(7,23). Os padrões de fratura mais comumente encontrados foram coesiva do adesivo e mista, para todos os grupos. A nanoinfiltração, avaliada por porcentagem, apresentou diferença significante para as variáveis tratamento e adesivo. A desproteinização da dentina condicionada reduziu significativamente a infiltração para o adesivo OSP. Para a variável sistema adesivo, na análise por porcentagem e por escores, o adesivo SB apresentou significativamente maior infiltração pelo nitrato de prata quando comparado ao OSP e PB, que foram similares entre si. Conclui-se que a resistência adesiva não foi influenciada pela remoção do colágeno exposto pelo condicionamento ácido e que a nanoinfiltração não foi evitada pela desproteinização dentinária

Cross-protection induced by VA-MENGOC-BC® vaccine
No full textI would like to comment on the article “Commentary: Impact of meningococcal group B OMV vaccines, beyond their brief”, DOI: 10.1080/21645515.2017.1381810. The author states that meningococcal group B OMVs vaccines –such as VA-MENGOC-BC®– may induce moderate protection against Neisseria gonorrhoeae. I agree. However, the author states that “there was no evidence of effectiveness in the younger children.” The effectiveness of VA-MENGOC-BC® in heterologous contexts has been higher than 80% in individuals older than 4 years old, but the effectiveness in younger children should not be undervalued; it has usually been higher than 60%, and results markedly higher when evaluated based on mortality rates. There is strong evidence that VA-MENGOC-BC® may induce cross-protection against heterologous N. meningitidis strains and N. gonorrhoeae
