Study of knowledge of genital herpes infection and attitudes to testing for genital herpes among antenatal clinic attendees

A descriptive survey of knowledge of genital herpes and attitudes to testing was conducted among antenatal clinic attendees at the Gold Coast Hospital, Australia. The study subjects showed a good knowledge of genital herpes, to a level that appears sufficient for an informed choice regarding herpes serology testing to be made. A preference for testing for genital herpes was suggested. Although serological testing is not routinely required, the results of the study indicate that discussion of genital herpes should be considered in the antenatal clinic, setting.

Root and shoot attributes of indigenous perennial accessions of the wild mungbean (Vigna radiata ssp sublobata)

Root and shoot attributes of 12 indigenous perennial accessions of the wild mungbean (Vigna radiata ssp. sublobata) were evaluated in early and late summer sowings in the field in SE Queensland. All but one of the accessions were obtained from the Townsville-Charters Towers region of NE Queensland. In both sowings, the accessions developed thickened tap and lateral roots, the taproot thickening extending to a depth of 0.20-0.30m below the soil surface, depending on accession. The thickened lateral roots emerged from the taproot within 0.10m of the soil surface, and extended laterally up to 1.10 m, remaining close to the soil surface. Differences among the accessions in gross root morphology and phenology were relatively small. There were differences among the accessions in the production of seed, tuberised root, and recovered total plant biomass. Depending on accession and sowing date, the tuberised roots accounted for up to 31% of recovered plant biomass and among accessions, the root biomass was positively correlated with total plant biomass. In contrast, seed biomass represented only a small proportion of recovered plant biomass, up to a maximum of 14%, depending on accession and sowing date. Among accessions, the proportion of seed biomass tended to be negatively correlated with that of tuber biomass. The perennial trait appears to be unique to Australian accessions of wild mungbean obtained from coastal-subcoastal, speargrass-dominant woodlands of NE Queensland. Although the ecological significance of the trait remains conjectural, field observation indicates that it facilitates rapid plant re-growth following early summer rainfall, especially where dry-season. re has removed previous-season above-ground growth.

The Experience of the Arnamagnæan Institute, Copenhagen

The Arnamagnæan Institute, principally in the form of the present writer, has been involved in a number of projects to do with the digitisation, electronic description and text-encoding of medieval manuscripts. Several of these projects were dealt with in a previous article 'The view from the North: Some Scandinavian digitisation projects', NCD review, 4 (2004), pp. 22-30. This paper looks in some depth at two others, MASTER and CHLT. The Arnamagnæan Institute is a teaching and research institute within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen. It is named after the Icelandic scholar and antiquarian Árni Magnússon (1663-1730), secretary of the Royal Danish Archives and Professor of Danish Antiquities at the University of Copenhagen, who in the course of his lifetime built up what is arguably the single most important collection of early Scandinavian manuscripts in the world, some 2,500 manuscript items, the earliest dating from the 12th century. The majority of these are from Iceland, but the collection also contains important Norwegian, Danish and Swedish manuscripts, along with approximately 100 manuscripts of continental provenance. In addition to the manuscripts proper, there are collections of original charters and apographa: 776 Norwegian (including Faroese, Shetlandic and Orcadian) charters and 2895 copies, 1571 Danish charters and 1372 copies, and 1345 Icelandic charters and 5942 copies. When he died in 1730, Árni Magnússon bequeathed his collection to the University of Copenhagen. The original collection has subsequently been augmented through individual purchases and gifts and the acquisition of a number of smaller collections, bringing the total to nearly 3000 manuscript items, which, with the charters and apographa, comprise over half a million pages.

Onde fica o sertão rompem-se as águas: processo de territorialização da ribeira do Apodi-Mossoró (1676-1725)

The Portuguese territorial process of the captaincy of Rio Grande was initiated in1598 with the conquest of the Potengi River bar by Mascarenhas Homem. This process lasted until 1633, when it was interrupted by the arrival of the Dutch, and resumed only in 1654. From this year on, the occupation of unknown lands of the captaincy was encouraged, supporting the advancement towards conquering the backlands, breaking the divisive boundaries with the captaincy of Siará Grande so far known: the Assú riverside. This breakthrough resulted in confrontations with the inhabitants of these lands, known as tapuias, leading to outbreak of several conflicts that composed the Barbarians War. The main stage of such events in Rio Grande, between the years 1687 and 1720, was precisely the Assú riverside, one of the spaces to be investigated by this research. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the advance of the conquerors in Rio Grande, contributing to the territorial process, which resulted in the emergence of a new border between Rio Grande and Siará Grande: the Apodi-Mossoró river. For this purpose, it was used sources produced between the years 1659 and 1725, as the settlement letters, royal charters, correspondence between the City Council of Natal, captains of Rio Grande and the government of Pernambuco and also the general government, as well as the documents related to the militia composed mainly by Paulistas who struggled in the captaincy.

Desenho e Análise de Processo de Candidatura ao P.2020: estudo de caso via CTC/GP, do IPL

Melhorar o desempenho organizacional, através do (re)desenho dos processos de negócios, é uma premente e desafiadora questão para promover a eficiência e eficácia organizacional. O presente trabalho aborda a Gestão de Processos de Negócio e conceitos que lhe estão subjacente, enquanto ferramenta ao dispor da gestão para planear, modelar, executar, analisar, controlar e melhorar o operacional do processo. Para tal, recorreu-se a um estudo de caso, realizado no Centro de Transferência e Valorização de Conhecimento e Gabinete de Projetos (CTC/GP), do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria (IPL), referente ao processo de candidatura de projetos em co-promoção, no novo quadro comunitário. A escolha deste estudo de caso prendeu-se com o facto de o CTC/GP ser uma unidade orgânica do IPL que, entre outras atividades, articula a academia com o tecido empresarial da região de Leiria, contribuindo para a criação de uma economia de valor acrescentado, suportada por produtos exportáveis e competitivos ao nível da qualidade. Por outro lado, o processo de candidatura de projetos em co-promoção é um processo de grande rendibilidade para o instituto. A grande contribuição deste trabalho foi, por um lado, munir a equipa de um fluxograma do supra citado processo, numa ferramenta de fácil utilização e premiável às mudanças de paradigma e, por outro, apresentar várias questões de partida para investigações futuras.

Proposta de arquitetura de plataforma de apoio a terapias a crianças com PHDA

A Perturbação da Hiperatividade e Défice de Atenção (PHDA) é uma perturbação que afeta cerca de 5% das crianças a nível mundial. O seu tratamento baseia-se na medicação e exercícios comportamentais para a criança, os quais podem acarretar efeitos secundários indesejados ou ser demasiado exigentes, respetivamente. Neste contexto, o objetivo do trabalho abordado neste documento foi o desenvolvimento de uma plataforma de apoio à terapia da PHDA, incluindo o desenvolvimento de serious games para crianças com idades entre os 6 e os 12 anos baseados em exercícios comportamentais, com uma abordagem mais lúdica, no intuito de aumentar o fator motivação na execução dos exercícios. A plataforma foi designada não para substituir a terapia tradicional, mas sim complementá-la, permitindo a um clínico manter os seus utentes sobre supervisão entre consultas de rotina. Desta forma, é pretendido a elaboração de um estudo sobre a fiabilidade dos serious games como forma de providenciar aos utentes um melhor controlo sobre os seus sintomas, não recorrendo apenas à terapia tradicional. Os primeiros resultados, obtidos com uma pequena amostra, demonstram uma melhora significativa nas competências das crianças e evidenciam a eficácia e robustez da plataforma em si.
