ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with excessive weight (EW), abdominal obesity (AO) and the simultaneous presence of EW and AO in adolescents from Southern Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 583 adolescents (11 to 17 years old) of Criciúma, Santa Catarina, Brazil. EW was assessed by body mass index (BMI) and AO by waist circumference (WC). The independent variables analyzed were gender, age, maternal schooling, balanced diet, physical activity, ...

This study contributes to the empirical literature on inflation targeting (IT) and output growth through a combination of econometric models seeking the flexibility to capture the collateral effects of IT on economic growth and acknowledging the relationships among the countries in the models with macro panel data analysis. To this end, three samples are used: advanced countries, developing countries and all countries. An important result of the many estimations in this study is that there is a positive ...

AbstractThis paper tests the hypothesis of long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) for all Latin American countries. Those countries share characteristics as high inflation, nominal shocks, and trade openness which might have led to quicker adjustment in relative prices and contributed for PPP to hold. New time series unit root tests give evidence of stationary real exchange rates for the vast majority of countries. In the panel data framework, tests for the null of unit root, null of stationarity, ...

As previously reviewed in this journal, acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare autoimmune disorder due to autoantibodies against factor VIII (FVIII).[1] [2] [3] The autoantibodies against FVIII, commonly described as polyclonal and of immunoglobulin G (IgG) class, may inhibit the interaction of FVIII with FIXa, phospholipids, and von Willebrand factor.[1] This interaction typically results in isolated prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), limited correction in mixing studies with ...

A new effective sealing method was developed for application in dye-sensitized solar cells. The sealing method employs a cord of a low temperature fusing glass frit paste that bounds the entire perimeter of the substrate. The glass precursor was heated to its melting point assisted by a laser beam, allowing the two substrates of the cell to be completely sealed. In the present work, the feasibility of this laser assisted glass paste sealing process is investigated and the best laser operating conditions ...

Search-based Software Engineering applies meta-heuristics to solve problems in the Software Engineering domain. However, to configure a meta-heuristic can be tricky and may lead to suboptimal results. We propose a hyper-heuristic (HH), GE-SPSP, to configure the Speed-Constrained Particle Swarm Optimization (SMPSO) meta-heuristic based on Grammatical Evolution (GE) to solve the Software Project Scheduling Problem. A grammar describes several parameters types and values to configure the SMPSO and the ...

Periosteum is a fibrous sheath, coating the external bone, except in the articular surfaces, tendon insertions and sesamoid bone surface¹. It changes its aspects and characteristics with aging, becoming progressively less elastic and more firm. It is composed of two different layers: outer fibrous (firm, collagen-filled) and inner proliferative (cambium, containing osteoprogenitor cells)². Four vascular systems are responsible for the blood supply of the periosteum: the intrinsic periosteal system, ...

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measures of tau and amyloid proteins have now been largely accepted to be a diagnostic tool to aid the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but CSF is not routinely obtained in most clinical settings. There is a need, therefore, to uncover additional readily accessible peripheral biomarkers that will enable comprehensive detection of AD-specific proteins in blood and blood derivates. Objectives: Blood platelets contain proteins found in neuronal cell ...

Room temperature and low temperature (120 °C) laser-assisted glass frit bonding of soda-lime glass substrates are accomplished in this work. The locally laser melted bonding showed hermeticity with helium leak rate of <5×10−8 atm cm3 s−1, maintaining its leak rate even after standard climatic cycle tests. Small size devices were bonded at room temperature while larger areas were sealed at the process temperature of 120 °C. The sealing parameters were optimized through response surface methodology that ...

Since cerebrospinal fluid analysis and molecular neuroimaging are not routinely used in many countries, blood biomarker molecules may be more readily applicable in a routine clinical setting.

The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models, which are in common use for describing sorption equilibrium for wastewater-treatment applications, were used to represent the experimental data and equilibrium data fitted well to the Freundlich isotherm model. The negative value of ΔG° for Cr(III) indicates the spontaneous nature of sorption, but positive values were determined for Cr(VI) and Ni(II). ...
