Panoptic versus conventional ophthalmoscope

Background: The 'ease of use' andaccuracy in measurement of the vertical optic cup/discratio (VCDR) was compared between the conventional direct ophthalmoscope(CO) and Panoptic direct ophthalmoscope (PO) in a group of 'naive' firstyear medical students to determine which would be more suitablefor non-ophthalmologists. Methods: In this quasi-randomized method comparison study,eight students received an introductory session on ophthalmoscopythen examined 18 eyes (9 left, 9 right) with each ophthalmoscopein a private practice. The subjects were the eight students themselvesplus two other subjects. Each subject (n = 10)had one eye dilated. Students determined a VCDR and a subjectivescore of 'ease of use' on a scale of 1 (difficult)to 10 (easy). A consultant ophthalmologist (GAG) determined thebenchmark VCDR for each eye with each ophthalmoscope. Results: Of 288 eye examinations, there were 111 measure-ments of VCDR using the CO (47 undilated, 64dilated), and 140 measurements using the PO (75 undilated, 65 dilated).Differences in the students' estimated VCDR and the benchmarkwere similar for the CO and PO (P = 0.67). 'Easeof use' was scored in 288 eyes and the median score washigher in the PO overall (CO: median 8, IQR 6-9; PO median9, IQR 8-10; P < 0.0001), andwithin each session (P < 0.0001 foreach session). Conclusions: Medical students found the PO mucheasier to use, with accuracy of rating the VCDR similar to the CO. Thiscomparison would support the wider use of the PO amongst medicalstudents, general practitioners and other primary care providers.

A role for the phagosome in cytokine secretion

Membrane traffic in activated macrophages is required for two critical events in innate immunity: proinflammatory cytokine secretion and phagocytosis of pathogens. We found a joint trafficking pathway linking both actions, which may economize membrane transport and augment the immune response. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) is trafficked from the Golgi to the recycling endosome (RE), where vesicle-associated membrane protein 3 mediates its delivery to the cell surface at the site of phagocytic cup formation. Fusion of the RE at the cup simultaneously allows rapid release of TNF alpha and expands the membrane for phagocytosis.

PUBLICIDADE, IMAGINÁRIO E IDENTIDADES NACIONAIS: O FUTEBOL E A RELIGIOSIDADE EM TEMPOS DE COPA DO MUNDO.

Este trabalho se propõe a analisar as interações entre a Publicidade, as Identidades Nacionais e o Imaginário. Para isto, foi estabelecido o objetivo de verificar a atuação da publicidade, enquanto processo comunicacional, como mediadora cultural por meio da conformação de vínculos de uma marca/produto com a representação de identidade cultural nacional de um povo, valendo-se da utilização de símbolos, mitos e de um discurso de pertencimento presentes no imaginário social. Para o alcance deste objetivo, foram assentadas as bases teóricas que estudam as temáticas: imaginário; identidades culturais e sociologia do esporte. No que diz respeito especificamente à publicidade, o estudo se concentrou nas interações da publicidade com o consumidor em que o objetivo final é estabelecer vínculos emocionais duradouros. As reflexões dos teóricos Gilbert Durand, Michel de Certeau, Stuart Hall, Raymond Williams, Eric Hobsbawm, Mário Filho, Édison Gastaldo, Kevin Roberts e Magali Cunha foram privilegiadas. A partir desse assento teórico foi possível desenvolver uma metodologia de caráter qualitativo por meio da Análise de Conteúdo em bases comparativas. A conclusão da pesquisa é que a publicidade se conecta ao imaginário social porque ela é mais um elemento da construção deste imaginário e, em função de ser um processo comunicacional, também se alimenta dele. Portanto, o publicitário (e consequentemente a publicidade) busca elementos na sua imaginação para criar e o seu repertório inclui aspectos como a identidade nacional e relações com a religiosidade popular. O produto final, midiatizado, vai fazer com que novos entendimentos sejam produzidos no imaginário social, ao mesmo tempo em que pode, também, apenas reforçar o entendimento já sedimentado acerca dessas representações.

South Africa and the global game:football, apartheid and beyond

Firmly situating South African teams, players, and associations in the international framework in which they have to compete, South Africa and the Global Game: Football, Apartheid, and Beyond presents an interdisciplinary analysis of how and why South Africa underwent a remarkable transformation from a pariah in world sport to the first African host of a World Cup in 2010. Written by an eminent team of scholars, this special issue and book aims to examine the importance of football in South African society, revealing how the black oppression transformed a colonial game into a force for political, cultural and social liberation. It explores how the hosting of the 2010 World Cup aims to enhance the prestige of the post-apartheid nation, to generate economic growth and stimulate Pan-African pride. Among the themes dealt with are race and racism, class and gender dynamics, social identities, mass media and culture, and globalization. This collection of original and insightful essays will appeal to specialists in African Studies, Cultural Studies, and Sport Studies, as well as to non-specialist readers seeking to inform themselves ahead of the 2010 World Cup.

Mexico 1968 and South Africa 2010: development, leadership and legacies

In this essay we compare the rationales for hosting the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City with the FIFA World Cup 2010 to be held in South Africa. We draw on in-depth interviews, archival materials and a range of press coverage. We argue that three broad overlapping themes are apparent in both case studies. These are the developmental rhetoric both hosts employ in the justification of holding the events in their respective countries. Mexico and South Africa convey a leadership role that stretches across the South American and African continent respectively. Finally, both countries argue that the legacy the respective tournament leaves is important.

Cost and performance analysis of new wood-fuelled power plant concepts

The objective of the thesis was to analyse several process configurations for the production of electricity from biomass. Process simulation models using AspenPlus aimed at calculating the industrial performance of power plant concepts were built, tested, and used for analysis. The criteria used in analysis were performance and cost. All of the advanced systems appear to have higher efficiencies than the commercial reference, the Rankine cycle. However, advanced systems typically have a higher cost of electricity (COE) than the Rankine power plant. High efficiencies do not reduce fuel costs enough to compensate for the high capital costs of advanced concepts. The successful reduction of capital costs would appear to be the key to the introduction of the new systems. Capital costs account for a considerable, often dominant, part of the cost of electricity in these concepts. All of the systems have higher specific investment costs than the conventional industrial alternative, i.e. the Rankine power plant; Combined beat and power production (CUP) is currently the only industrial area of application in which bio-power costs can be considerably reduced to make them competitive. Based on the results of this work, AsperiPlus is an appropriate simulation platform. How-ever, the usefulness of the models could be improved if a number of unit operations were modelled in greater detail. The dryer, gasifier, fast pyrolysis, gas engine and gas turbine models could be improved.
