Methodological variations in estimating apparent progressive visual field loss in clinical trials of glaucoma treatment.

OBJECTIVES:

To compare methods to estimate the incidence of visual field progression used by 3 large randomized trials of glaucoma treatment by applying these methods to a common data set of annually obtained visual field measurements of patients with glaucoma followed up for an average of 6 years.

METHODS:

The methods used by the Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study (AGIS), the Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study (CIGTS), and the Early Manifest Glaucoma Treatment study (EMGT) were applied to 67 eyes of 56 patients with glaucoma enrolled in a 10-year natural history study of glaucoma using Program 30-2 of the Humphrey Field Analyzer (Humphrey Instruments, San Leandro, Calif). The incidence of apparent visual field progression was estimated for each method. Extent of agreement between the methods was calculated, and time to apparent progression was compared.

RESULTS:

The proportion of patients progressing was 11%, 22%, and 23% with AGIS, CIGTS, and EMGT methods, respectively. Clinical assessment identified 23% of patients who progressed, but only half of these were also identified by CIGTS or EMGT methods. The CIGTS and the EMGT had comparable incidence rates, but only half of those identified by 1 method were also identified by the other.

CONCLUSIONS:

The EMGT and CIGTS methods produced rates of apparent progression that were twice those of the AGIS method. Although EMGT, CIGTS, and clinical assessment rates were comparable, they did not identify the same patients as having had field progression.

Formación de las virgenes cristianas del siglo 1 al VI y su influencia educativa.

Estudiar como la virginidad en los siglos del l al VI se orienta hacia la vida cenobítica y cuál es su influencia educativa. Es imposible dilucidar unas cifras exactas, o llegar a afirmaciones objetivas acerca del ámbito influencial de las vírgenes, por carecer de datos. La mujer durante los primeros siglos carente de personalidad propia, si bien su influjo indirecto fue eficaz y grande, deja pocas huellas por las que se puedan seguir sus pasos. Se conservan pocos testimonios escritos, en los que nos hablen mujeres ilustres. Sabemos bien poco lo que hicieron las primeras figuras femeninas en categoría política o social. No es extraño que se de esta pobreza de datos precisos de los que vivieron y realizaron las vírgenes cristianas. La literatura acerca de ellas, o mejor de la virtud en general es sin embargo abundantísima, por lo que se deduce su importancia dentro de la sociedad. Su existencia era primordial dentro de la vida de la Iglesia como nos manifiesta la preocupación de los concilios y de los escritores cristianos (Osio, San Leandro y más tarde San Isidoro y San Fructuoso). Dentro de la desorientación y desequilibrio de una sociedad en crisis política, social, económica y especialmente moral, la virginidad dda pasos firmes y seguros, puesto que conoce el fin de su vida y sabe el camino que ha de seguir para alcanzarlo: al entrar en el claustro se decide a recorrerlo. El fuerte espiritualismo, la profunda religiosidad que le capacitan para dar orientaciones claras y precisas en los problemas del confusionismo humano, constituyen la enorme fuerza atractiva que sobre la humanidad ha ejercido el monacato.

Mineração de calcário no município de Capanema, Estado do Pará: uma análise a partir da percepção dos moradores do entorno da Jazida B-17

A globalização impulsionou a transformação dos locais a partir de suas potencialidades e identidades, dinamizando as transformações socioeconômicas, político-institucionais e ambientais em relação aos espaços e recursos naturais fornecidos ao homem. Dessa forma, a presente dissertação tem o objetivo de expor e analisar os resultados acerca da percepção dos moradores das comunidades São Leandro, Mata Sede e Braço Grande em relação as mudanças ocorridas a partir da extração de calcário na Jazida B-17 da Fábrica de Cimentos do Brasil S/A (CIBRASA) no Município de Capanema (PA). Todavia, a pesquisa constitui-se em um estudo de caso e, o método de interpretação da análise utilizado foi o Método Indutivo, no qual realizamos a aplicação de questionários e entrevistas abertas, utilizando a perspectiva de análise qualitativa e, secundariamente quantitativa. Portanto, a partir da pesquisa in loco foi constatado que as relações entre CIBRASA e vizinhança se caracterizam a partir de uma contraditória realidade, no qual de um lado tem-se a fábrica com sua extração de calcário e produção de cimento, e, do outro, as comunidades vizinhas da B-17 com sua agricultura familiar, convivendo com o efeito poluidor da extração de calcário, que pode impactar o ecossistema da região, suas produções e moradores. A atuação da CIBRASA gerou mudanças nas condições de vida da população e o desenvolvimento econômico do município através da geração de emprego e renda para uma parte da população, pois não inclui a vizinhança da Jazida B-17 que não percebe nenhum tipo de investimento, benefício econômico e social a partir da geração de emprego, renda, melhorias de saneamento básico, educação, transporte, segurança e saúde advindos após o início de lavra na Jazida B-17, enfatizando assim, a ausência de diálogo e inter-relação entre a CIBRASA, o Poder Público e a Vizinhança.

El láser en la técnica y la investigación: teoría y práctica: resumen del curso de postgraduados dado en E.T.S. de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación de Madrid

En líneas generales la teoría del láser es bastante sim- ple. Las principales interrogantes se refieren a las propiedades de la coherencia y de la intensidad, frecuencia y fluctuaciones de la radiación. Para contestarlas se pueden seguir tres métodos de trabajo, que las resuelven en el mismo orden en que han sido planteadas, y que se basan, respectivamente. en ecuaciones de ve locidad, en ecuaciones semiclásicas y en ecuaciones totalmente .cuantificadas. Nuestro estudio llegará únicamente a la primera parte, pudiéndose encontrar detalles sobre los otros métodos en la bibliografía adjunta.

Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo, II Duque de Alba y su inventario de libros (1531): Una biblioteca patrimonial

Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo, que nació hacia 1460 y murió en 1531, lidera en Castilla el linaje de la casa de Alba en el tránsito de la Edad Media al Renacimiento. Primo carnal de Fernando el Católico, y colaborador íntimo de los Reyes, desarrolla una amplia labor de mecenazgo artístico y literario, de la cual son ejemplos relevantes los apoyos a poetas como Juan del Encina, Juan Boscán o Garcilaso de la Vega. A pesar de esta actividad, la crítica no se ha ocupado con detalle de este personaje por haberle eclipsado un tanto su nieto, el Gran Duque de Alba. Este artículo reproduce el inventario de la biblioteca de Don Fadrique (formado por los libros que fueron catalogados a su muerte), inédito hasta ahora y que nos muestra una rica biblioteca patrimonial de ciento ochenta y seis obras. Entre los libros religiosos encontramos biblias, tratados de oración y libros de horas; se hallan también algunos títulos indispensables de las tradiciones franciscana y dominica, que nos muestran a un personaje interesado en las nuevas corrientes devocionales de finales del siglo XV, en el escolasticismo y en las mujeres santas y visionarias del Medievo.

Engineer Leandro Badarán’s project to safeguard the fortresses of Alicante in 1794

After the construction of the San Carlos bastion in Alicante in the final decade of the seventeenth century, and the great trench which the English built around the district of San Francisco during their years of dominance in the War of Succession, the waters of the San Blas gully caused serious damage to these fortifications of the city and to the trade buildings of the port. In 1772, the diversion canal was built. It was designed to divert the riverbed of the gully and send the waters directly to the sea. The project had been initially designed by the Engineer General, Jorge Próspero de Verboom in 1721. This unique work of engineering had some defects, principally in the breakwater which prevented the waters from flowing down the former river course. On several occasions, the water returned to its original riverbed due to the weakness of the breakwater, the narrowness of the channel’s bed and its lack of regularisation, causing serious damage to the bastion, the Babel-facing façade, the traders’ warehouses and other buildings. This study describes the project that the military engineer Leandro Badarán carried out in 1794 in order to technically improve this canal and examines his report on the state of the fortifications. Similar works built in Spain are also explained. It also analyses the repeated disputes between the war department and the port throughout these years over finding a technical solution to the problem.

Benefit cost analysis applied to behavioral and engineering safety countermeasures in San Francisco, California

The state of the practice in safety has advanced rapidly in recent years with the emergence of new tools and processes for improving selection of the most cost-effective safety countermeasures. However, many challenges prevent fair and objective comparisons of countermeasures applied across safety disciplines (e.g. engineering, emergency services, and behavioral measures). These countermeasures operate at different spatial scales, are funded often by different financial sources and agencies, and have associated costs and benefits that are difficult to estimate. This research proposes a methodology by which both behavioral and engineering safety investments are considered and compared in a specific local context. The methodology involves a multi-stage process that enables the analyst to select countermeasures that yield high benefits to costs, are targeted for a particular project, and that may involve costs and benefits that accrue over varying spatial and temporal scales. The methodology is illustrated using a case study from the Geary Boulevard Corridor in San Francisco, California. The case study illustrates that: 1) The methodology enables the identification and assessment of a wide range of safety investment types at the project level; 2) The nature of crash histories lend themselves to the selection of both behavioral and engineering investments, requiring cooperation across agencies; and 3) The results of the cost-benefit analysis are highly sensitive to cost and benefit assumptions, and thus listing and justification of all assumptions is required. It is recommended that a sensitivity analyses be conducted when there is large uncertainty surrounding cost and benefit assumptions.

Geologic map of the Valley Mountain 15’ quadrangle, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, California: U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ–1767, scale 1:62,500

The Valley Mountain 15’ quadrangle straddles the Pinto Mountain Fault, which bounds the eastern Transverse Ranges in the south against the Mojave Desert province in the north. The Pinto Mountains, part of the eastern Transverse Ranges in the south part of the quadrangle expose a series of Paleoproterozoic gneisses and granite and the Proterozoic quartzite of Pinto Mountain. Early Triassic quartz monzonite intruded the gneisses and was ductiley deformed prior to voluminous Jurassic intrusion of diorite, granodiorite, quartz monzonite, and granite plutons. The Jurassic rocks include part of the Bullion Mountains Intrusive Suite, which crops out prominently at Valley Mountain and in the Bullion Mountains, as well as in the Pinto Mountains. Jurassic plutons in the southwest part of the quadrangle are deeply denuded from midcrustal emplacement levels in contrast to supracrustal Jurassic limestone and volcanic rocks exposed in the northeast. Dikes inferred to be part of the Jurassic Independence Dike Swarm intrude the Jurassic plutons and Proterozoic rocks. Late Cretaceous intrusion of the Cadiz Valley Batholith in the northeast caused contact metamorphism of adjacent Jurassic plutonic rocks...

Somali perspectives on physical activity: PhotoVoice to address barriers and resources in San Diego

Although many immigrants enter the United States with a healthy body weight, this health advantage disappears the longer they reside in the United States. To better understand the complexities of obesity change within a cultural framework, a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, PhotoVoice, was used, focusing on physical activity among Muslim Somali women. The CBPR partnership was formed to identify barriers and resources to engaging in physical activity with goals of advocacy and program development. Muslim Somali women (n = 8) were recruited to participate, trained and provided cameras, and engaged in group discussions about the scenes they photographed. Participants identified several barriers, including safety concerns, minimal culturally appropriate resources, and financial constraints. Strengths included public resources and a community support system. The CBPR process identified opportunities and challenges to collaboration and dissemination processes. The findings laid the framework for subsequent program development and community engagement.
