Density and distribution of nests of Mycetophylax simplex (Emery) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in areas with mobile dunes on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Studies on lower attines are scarce, especially on nesting and foraging ecology and behavior. This study aimed to contribute to the knowledge of an Attini in dunes ecosystems through the description of density and spatial distribution of Mycetophylax simplex (Emery, 1887) nests in a strip of mobile dunes in the Praia Grande beach, Torres, northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The density and spatial distribution of nests were estimated in four plots of 2,500 m² each, in which were found 20, 209, 284 and 324 nests, with average densities of 0.01 nests/m², 0.09, 0.11 and 0.13 nests/m², respectively. The nests were found near to the vegetation and showed clumped distribution. The density and distribution pattern of the nests seem to be related to the availability of nesting places and foraging resources.

Utilisation en tomoscintigraphie d'anticorps monoclonaux radio-marqués pour la détection chez l'homme des cancers digestifs et des cancers médullaires de la thyroïde

Two 131-Iodine radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies were used to perform tomoscintigraphy in 42 patients: 11 patients bearing medullary thyroid cancers and 19 patients bearing gastrointestinal cancers received an antibody directed against carcino-embryonic antigen; 12 patients bearing gastro-intestinal cancers received an antibody directed against a non circulating antigen expressed by human colorectal cancers cell lines. Tomoscintigraphy is particularly useful for analysing the complex biodistribution of radiolabelled antibodies and the low contrast images encountered in immunoscintigraphy; the problems related to the true positive rate and to the clinical specificity of the method are discussed.

Sistema Web e Mobile para Apoio a Gestão de Projetos de Sistemas de Informação

A forma como um projeto é gerido tem vindo a evoluir ao longo dos tempos. Com a crescente preocupação em entregar os projetos dentro dos prazos estipulados, com qualidade e dentro do orçamento previsto, foi necessário melhorar a forma de gerir os mesmos. Neste sentido têm vindo a surgir várias metodologias e, principalmente, ferramentas informáticas que apoiam os gestores de projetos a gerir os mesmos. Tendo em conta que gerir projetos de desenvolvimento de sistemas de informação engloba desafios específicos dos projetos desta natureza e, no sentido de ajudar os gestores a enfrentarem tais desafios com sucesso, propôs-se efetuar o desenvolvimento de uma aplicação web e mobile de apoio a gestão de projetos desta natureza. Este trabalho procura fazer um mapeamento entre as principais metodologias de gestão de projetos, principalmente, as direcionadas para projetos de desenvolvimento de sistemas de informação, e os grupos de processos e áreas de conhecimento de gestão de projetos definidos no PMBOK. Toda essa informação é disponibilizada numa aplicação web, que está, igualmente, acessível nos dispositivos móveis. Com esta aplicação web e mobile, pretendeu-se desenvolver uma aplicação informática interativa de apoio a gestão de projetos de sistemas de informação, tendo em conta a metodologia adotada para a gestão do projeto e as linhas de orientação do PMBOK.

TBS discrimine les femmes avec ostéoporose fracturaire des femmes non ostéoporotiques indépendamment de la DMO, de l'âge et de l'IMC : Etude de la cohorte Ostéo-Mobile Vaud

Introduction. - « Ostéo-Mobile Vaud » est un projet pilote visant àinformer et promouvoir les mesures générales de prévention del'ostéoporose chez les femmes vaudoises de 60 ans et plus. Son butest également d'évaluer le risque de fracture dans cette populationen associant les facteurs de risque cliniques, la mesure de la DMOpar DXA de la colonne lombaire et du fémur proximal (Hologic Discovery),la recherche des fractures vertébrales préexistantes parVFA et une appréciation de la « qualité osseuse » par TBS. Une phaseprospective de 5 ans est prévue. Le Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) estun procédé qui consiste à appliquer un traitement informatique àl'image 2D de projection de la DXA basé sur la quantification desvariations locales de niveaux de gris. Un modèle mathématiquerelie le paramètre TBS avec des paramètres de microarchitecture 3Dtels la connectivité 3D, le nombre de travées et l'espace inter-trabéculaire.Ce modèle fait de TBS une mesure indirecte de microarchitectureosseuse.Résultats. - Fin juillet 2011, 510 femmes de ± 67 ans, IMC ± 26 kg/m2,ont été évaluées. Une ou plusieurs fractures de fragilité ont été rapportéeschez 72 femmes, parmi lesquelles 39 avec fractures vertébrales.TBS diminue avec l'âge (-0.005 par année, p < 0,001) etdiminue en fonction de l'IMC (- 0,011 par kg/m2, p < 0,001). La corrélationentre TBS et la DMO de la colonne lombaire est faible(r = 0,4, p < 0,001) et un grand pourcentage de la variabilité du TBSest indépendant de la DMO (> 84%). TBS discrimine les femmes avecfractures vertébrales des femmes sans fracture vertébrale et lesfemmes avec OP clinique (fractures de fragilité) de celles sans OPclinique. Ce pouvoir discriminatif est indépendant de la DMO de lacolonne lombaire ou du T-score le plus bas, après ajustement pourl'âge et l'IMC.Odd ratio (OR, 95 % IC) pour une diminution d'une déviation standarddu TBS, ajusté pour l'âge, l'IMC et la mesure de DMO :Conclusion. - TBS représente une plus-value par rapport à la DMOdans l'appréciation du risque de fracture chez les femmes vaudoisesde 60 ans et plus.

Designing mobile access to DSpace-based digital libraries

Developing countries face serious problems on building and using digital libraries (DL) due to low computer and Internet penetration rates, lack of financial resources, etc. Thus, since mobile phones are much more used than computers in these countries, they might be a good alternative for accessing DL. Moreover, in the developed world there has been an exponential growth on the usage of mobile phones for data traffic, establishing a good ground for accessing DL on mobile devices. This paper presents a design proposal for making DSpace-based digital libraries accessible on mobile phones. Since DSpace is a popular free and open source DL system used around the world, making it accessible through mobile devices might contribute for improving the global accessibility of scientific and academic publications.

Enabling mobile access to digital libraries in digital divide contexts

Digital libraries (DL) have had a tremendous impact on improving the accessibility of scientific and academic publications. In developing countries, they seem to be the great hope, due to the serious existing problems with the traditional publishing and distribution mechanisms and to the potential they have on enabling access to a great panoply of publications. Moreover, accessing digital libraries over mobile devices has the potential of reaching a broader community of users and on helping to bridge the digital divide, since there are very reduced computer and Internet penetration rates in these countries, along with a higher mobile phone usage. For developed countries, accessing digital libraries on the go might also bring important added value. This paper features an analysis of the major issues related to making digital libraries accessible over mobile devices. A specific study on the possibility of using mobile digital libraries in a developing country context is also presented along with a proposal for making DSpace based digital libraries accessible over mobile phones.
