Arwidsson, Adolf Ivar

A. I. Arwidsson f. 7.8.1791 i Padasjoki d. 21.6.1858 i Viborg. Den svenskspråkiga finskhetsivraren och samhällspåverkaren Adolf Ivar Arwidsson, hörde till de så kallade Åboromantikernas krets under det tidiga 1800-talet. Han förmedlade litterära och politiska strömningar i Sverige och ute i Europa till det akademiska Åbo. Arwidssons litterära produktion, som främst bestod av vikingaromatisk poesi, blev jämförelsevis obetydlig. I produktionen ingår t.ex. dikterna Kettil Okristen (1832) och Amor i Norden (1832). Arwidsson hade större inflytande som akademiker och tidningsman (med litterär profil) i tidningar som Mnemosyne och Åbo Morgonblad. I dessa verksamheter förebådade han den finska nationella väckelsen och försökte främja ett modernt och öppet debattklimat. Strävan efter att forma en kulturell och nationell identitet syns också i hans litterära produktion för barn, där han framträdde som en tidig förnyare. Arwidsson var därtill en kontroversiell politisk debattör, vilket resulterade i landsflykt till Sverige. Där gjorde han karriär som föreståndare vid Kungliga biblioteket och var aktiv som folkdiktsupptecknare samtidigt som han fortsatte att granska och kommentera situationen i Finland.

Ivar Refsdals skoleatlas. Atlasets innhold og betydning for samtiden

Ivar Refsdal’s school atlases were the most used school atlases in Norway for most of the 20th century. The article shows that his maps where highly appreciated by his contemporary citizens as a new mean for geography education in Norwegian schools. Making maps always means choices of content and mapmaking technique. Therefor the article is discussing some of the map making choices made by Refsdal to display the world for the students.

Una aplicación del método de análisis orientado a objetos, de Ivar Jacobson

Cada día vemos cómo la programación orientada a objetos se consolida más en todas las áreas de aplicación de la informática. Ya no solamente se utiliza para el desarrollo de interfases gráficas usuario sino también en bases de datos, sistemas operativos, software de comunicaciones, desarrollo de aplicaciones en ambientes de red, software de gestión comercial, etc. En la programación estructurada tradicional, las funciones y los datos se manejan de forma separada, mientras que en la programación orientada a objetos las funciones y los datos están fuertemente ligados en entes llamados objetos. Al utilizar esta nueva filosofía de programación, se codifican la estructura y el comportamiento de los diferentes objetos, como también las relaciones e interacciones que existen entre ellos

IBA application for rooting of Eucalyptus benthamii Maiden and Cambage x Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden minicuttings

IBA application for rooting of Eucalyptus benthamii Maiden and Cambage x Eucalyptus dunnii Maiden minicuttings. Eucalyptus has great importance in the forestry sector and many advances in the area of improvement have been achieved with the advent of biotechnological techniques. However, some promising genotypes still do not have multiplication protocols with cloning techniques, such as minicutting. The study aimed to evaluate IBA concentrations for survival, rooting and vegetative vigor of E. benthamii x E. dunnii minicuttings, and determine the maximum technical efficiency dose. Ministumps H12, H19 and H20 clones were cultivated in a clonal minigarden under a semi-hydroponic system. For rooting, the rninicutting basal portion was plunged in hydro-alcoholic solutions, whose concentrations were: 0; 2,000; 4,000; 6,000 and 8,000 mg L(-1) of IBA. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with the factors consisting of three clones and five IBA concentrations, with five replications, containing 10 minicuttings per replication. IBA positively influenced the minicutting rooting processes, with differentiated behavior between the clones, with 30.32 to 55.45% rooting variation. The positives increments occurred until the highest IBA concentration for H12 and H19 clones. However, the range between 4,000 and 6,000 mg L(-1) of IBA treatments promoted the best rooting results for the H20 clone.

Forame oval patente e acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico em jovens: associação causal ou estatística?

OBJETIVOS: Determinar se há evidências de uma relação causal entre forame oval patente (FOP) e acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico (AVCI) criptogênico em jovens. Analisar essa relação à luz dos critérios de causalidade. MÉTODOS: Avaliaram-se, retrospectivamente, 168 pacientes jovens com AVCI, divididos em dois grupos: criptogênico e de causa definida. Como parte da rotina, os pacientes foram submetidos a pesquisa de FOP por ecocardiograma transesofágico e/ou Doppler transcraniano, ambos associados ao teste de bolhas. Demonstrada a associação estatística univariada entre FOP e AVCI, procedeu-se a análise multivariada. RESULTADOS: Após análise multivariada, a associação FOP e AVCI criptogênico mostrou-se ainda estatisticamente significante, com razão de chance (RCajustada de 3,3 (IC95% 1,5-7,4). O número total de lesões no encéfalo também apresentou associação significativa com o AVCI criptogênico (RCajustada= 0,4 IC95% 0,2-0,9). A associação FOP e AVCI criptogênico satisfez todos os critérios de causalidade. CONCLUSÃO: A relação causal entre o FOP e o AVCI criptogênico em jovens é altamente provável. Esse fato deve ser considerado na decisão terapêutica.

Cardiovascular Autonomic Dysfunction in Patients with Morbid Obesity

Abstract Background: Morbid obesity is directly related to deterioration in cardiorespiratory capacity, including changes in cardiovascular autonomic modulation. Objective: This study aimed to assess the cardiovascular autonomic function in morbidly obese individuals. Methods: Cross-sectional study, including two groups of participants: Group I, composed by 50 morbidly obese subjects, and Group II, composed by 30 nonobese subjects. The autonomic function was assessed by heart rate variability in the time domain (standard deviation of all normal RR intervals [SDNN]; standard deviation of the normal R-R intervals [SDNN]; square root of the mean squared differences of successive R-R intervals [RMSSD]; and the percentage of interval differences of successive R-R intervals greater than 50 milliseconds [pNN50] than the adjacent interval), and in the frequency domain (high frequency [HF]; low frequency [LF]: integration of power spectral density function in high frequency and low frequency ranges respectively). Between-group comparisons were performed by the Student’s t-test, with a level of significance of 5%. Results: Obese subjects had lower values of SDNN (40.0 ± 18.0 ms vs. 70.0 ± 27.8 ms; p = 0.0004), RMSSD (23.7 ± 13.0 ms vs. 40.3 ± 22.4 ms; p = 0.0030), pNN50 (14.8 ± 10.4 % vs. 25.9 ± 7.2%; p = 0.0061) and HF (30.0 ± 17.5 Hz vs. 51.7 ± 25.5 Hz; p = 0.0023) than controls. Mean LF/HF ratio was higher in Group I (5.0 ± 2.8 vs. 1.0 ± 0.9; p = 0.0189), indicating changes in the sympathovagal balance. No statistical difference in LF was observed between Group I and Group II (50.1 ± 30.2 Hz vs. 40.9 ± 23.9 Hz; p = 0.9013). Conclusion: morbidly obese individuals have increased sympathetic activity and reduced parasympathetic activity, featuring cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction.
