The theme of building energy conservation emphasizes not only on saving energy, but also on the comfort and safety of the theraml environment. In other words, it provides energy-saving function under the percussion of providing a safe, healthy, and comfortable thermal environment. This paper based its argument on the theory of the solar radiation. This paper identified the external factors that influence the solar radiation in relation to the natural movements of the Sun and Earth. It used computer programs to identify the location of each city and the position of the Sun at any given time. It also simulated the situation under which the shadow of the building changed, and analyzed the effect of the sun-blocking facilities of the building on indoor lighting. Furthermore, the author of this paper composed the sun radiation chart of Kaoshiung area to test the accuracy of the full-scale sun radiation experiment at NSYSU Lab. The accuracy of the experiment reached over 98%, which served as an important foundation for the calculation of the ENVLOAD value. Moreover, based on the computer simulation of the energy consumption on building envelope , this paper not only provided the ENVLOAD value, but also the evaluation of the sensitivity of the energy consumption on building envelope. Finally, this paper served as an important base for the ENVLOAD value of one specific building (Building N) in mid-Taiwan. The experiment on Building N found that the installation of horizontal external sunshades and light-gray blinds as internal sunshades saved 42% energy than the traditional curtain wall buildings. This result further demonstrated of the energy savings effect experimentally. Base on systematic analysis and full-scale experiments, this paper proposed the best energy saving model for Building N under the weather condition at Taichung. This model not only satisfied our current legislation for energy saving construction, but also provided a thermal comfortable environment. This paper contributes greatly to the field of building energy conservation design. Furthermore, this study was carried out under the local weather condition of Taiwan, which contributed significantly as a criteria for further regulation and modification of the ENVOLOAD value in Taiwan in the future.

A infecção por HPV (Papilomavírus Humano) demonstrou ser um fator relevante no desenvolvimento do carcinoma oral, assim como o polimorfismo do Códon 72 (alelo-G) do gene TP53, cuja transcrição da proteína supressora tumoral p53 é modificado. A degradação da p53 ocorre em função da interação entre a oncoproteína viral E6 junto ao sistema proteolítico ubiqütina-proteossômica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar a presença do HPV no CEC oral e verificar a associação com o polimorfismo do códon 53 do gene TP53 . O grupo experimental foi composto por 24 pacientes com CEC oral , os quais freqüentavam a rotina do Hospital do Câncer de Pernambuco. O grupo controle fora composto por 21 indivíduos que apresentavam o mesmo ambiente familiar e as mesmas relações sociais dos pacientes estudados. O material biológico foi obtido pela esfoliação da mucosa oral e o DNA extraído através do método de Salting Out. A detecção do HPV foi realizada por PCR a partir da utilização dos primers GP5 + GP6 +. A identificação do polimorfismo do códon 72 (alelo-G) foi feita por PCR - RFLP. Os resultados foram negativos para a presença do HPV. Não foi observada associação entre a presença do polimorfismo alelo-G nos pacientes com CEC oral na amostra avaliada (X2 = 4,048; P = 0,132). Os resultados confirmaram que os homens (X2 = 5,88; P = 0,01) e fumantes (X2 = 8,84; P = 0,002) apresentaram uma maior freqüência de diagnóstico positivo para o CEC oral, assim como foram encontrados valores estatisticamente significativos para a idade dos indivíduos estudados (X = 5,88; P = 0,01). Os resultados não sugerem uma associação com o polimorfismo do gene TP53 (alelo-G) e da infecção por HPV com CEC oral. Os resultados para o sexo e tabagismo estão de acordo com a literatura científica

In recent decades, there has been renewed interest in examining the effectiveness of teacher preparation programs. Unfortunately, researchers have found that there is limited empirical research on the effectiveness of quality special education teacher preparation programs, specifically those programs specializing in the education of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), the largest special education organization, conducts research on the standards needed by teachers who serve children and youth with exceptionalities. These CEC standards are recommended to serve as a guide for teacher preparation programs in special education. Utilizing the CEC standards delineated for preparation programs in EBD, the present study sought to determine how graduates of one program perceived the importance of the standards and their perceived proficiency in using the standards in their work with students with EBD. Results indicated that graduates viewed the standards as Important to their work with students with EBD. Further, they viewed their proficiency in using the standards to be above average. In addition, the present study examined the relationship between graduates perceived importance and perceived proficiency in using the CEC standards. Results indicated that graduates who had higher score ratings on their perceived importance of the standards tended to have higher ratings on their perceived proficiency scores.

Le myélome multiple est une néoplasie plasmocytaire caractérisée par une prolifération clonale de plasmocytes malins au niveau de la moelle osseuse. Il correspond à environ 13% des cancers hématologiques et la survie médiane à 10 ans est d’environ 30%. Le CD146 est une molécule d’adhésion (CAM) qui est surtout exprimée au niveau des jonctions des cellules endothéliales. A l’origine, le CD146 a été identifié comme un marqueur tumoral du mélanome (MCAM) et, par la suite, il a été étudié dans de nombreux cancers tels que les cancers du rein, du sein, du poumon, les cancers gastriques et les ostéosarcomes. Son expression est le plus souvent associée à un mauvais pronostic. Nous avons montré pour la première fois, que cette molécule s’exprimait aussi à la surface des plasmocytes normaux, cette expression apparaissant tardivement au cours de la différenciation B. Nous avons montré que cette expression était modulée sur des plasmocytes tumoraux de gammapathie monoclonale avec une forte diminution voire le plus souvent une disparition sur les plasmocytes malins de Myélome Multiple (MM). De plus, nous avons montré que CD146 constituait un facteur de bon pronostic indépendant dans cette maladie et qu’il était un des mécanismes permettant à la cellule tumorale d’avoir un avantage en termes de survie. Un second axe de recherche a consisté à la mise en place d’une technique de détection des cellules endothéliales circulantes dans le sang et in situ dans la moelle osseuse dans le myélome multiple afin de disposer d’un outil permettant l’étude de l’angiogenèse dans cette pathologie ainsi que son suivi en clinique. / Multiple Myeloma is a neoplastic plasma-cell disorder that is characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow microenvironment. It accounts for approximately 13% of hematologic cancer and the ten year survival rate is approximately 30%. CD 146 is an adhesion molecule (CAM) that is essentially expressed at endothelial junctions. At first, CD 146 was identified as a tumor marker of melanoma. It subsequently was studied in conjunction with cancer of the kidney, the breast, the lung, as well as gastric cancers and osteosarcomas. Its expression is most often associated with a bad prognosis. For the first time we have shown that this molecule is expressed at the surface of normal plasma cells, this expression appearing during the late stages of B cell differentiation. We have demonstrated that this expression was modulated on Multiple Myeloma (MM) plasma cells, and and was significantly decreased or disappeared in malignant plasma cells. Moreover, we have shown that CD146 was an independent good prognostic marker and that it was implicated in mechanisms that confers a survival advantage to the tumor cell. The next part of the project consisted to set up a detection protocol for circulating endothelial cells in blood and bone marrow in multiple myeloma in order to develop a tool for studying angiogenesis in this pathology which can also be used during therapeutic monitoring.

The squamous cell carcinoma presents itself as a multifactorial disease and epigenetic being influenced by environmental factors, behavioural and relate to the individual. Several polymorphic genes that encode enzymes involved in the biotransformation of the carcinogens have been associated to the development of cancer, especially in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck. The CYP1A1m, GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes which catalyzes the oxidation of PAHs in phenolic and epoxides products. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological data of patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx from the Cancer Registry of Population basis of Goiânia and from Association of Cancer Combat in Goiânia, analyzing data from 63 medical records followed in a period of 6 year; establish the allelic profiles of the gene CYP1A1m, GSTM1 and GSTT1 in casecontrol groups investigating the degrees of suscetibility of patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the larynx, according to smoking and alcoholism habits. In total 112 samples were evaluated, 63 from patients with SCC of the larynx and 49 patients in the control group. The CEC of the larynx was about 3,5 times more frequent in men than in women. The rate of survival on general was approximately 66% to 6 years. The smoking and ethilic habits associated have a significantly lower survival. No significant differences were found in the staging analysis and treatment of patients. Were found allelic frequencies of CYP1A1m1 of 52,4% (34/62) and 63,3% (31/49) for the wild allele T and 44,4% (28/62) and 34,7% (18/49) for the mutant allele C. There were no statistically significant associations between allelic variants and genotypic CYP1A1m1 with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. Positive genotypic frequencies were observed for the genes GSTM1 and GSTT1 of 41.3% (26/63) and 54.0% (34/63) to the patients with laryngeal cancer, and 49,0% (24/49) and 51,0% (25/49) for the control group, respectively. For the assessment of genotype GSTM1 (null) and GSTT1 (null), the patients if the case group had 58,7% (37/63) and 46,0% (29/63) of genotypes for GSTM1 null and GSTT1, while the patients in the control group showed 51,0% (25/49) and 40,8% (20/49). There was no statistically significance in associations of genotypic variants GSTM1 (null) and GSTT1 (null) with the larynx squamous cell carcinoma. In this context, an experimental study was accomplished in the intention of evaluating the function of the genes Cyp and Gst in the metabolism of the Cyclophosphamide. This study addressed the Cyclophosphamide toxicological evaluation and analysis of the polymorphism of Cyp2a29 and Gstp1 BALB/c genes in mice, correlating them with the toxicity of drugs through the assessment of organs commonly affected. It was determinated the DL50 of the 474mg/kg. Subsequently, another 40 mice were used on the assessment of the genetic polymorphism of genes Cyp2a29 and Gstp1. As for toxicity, cyclophosphamide caused reduction in body weight at different doses and kidneys, spleen, liver, heart and lungs. The animals that received a dose of 500mg/Kg died in 24 hours, three animals with a dose of 250mg/Kg died the end of one week. The evaluation of toxicity showed changes of varying degrees of congestion observed in the spleen, liver and heart. There were not found statistically significant differences between the frequencies of allelic and genotypic to Cyp2a29 and Gstp1 in groups of animals studied. This observation should be probably the characteristic line BALB/c are isogenic. Studies that make the use se of tests of genetic suscetibility, epidemic evaluation, combined to the evaluation anatomopathological they allow the study of the interaction genetic atmosphere and a possible standardization of various chemotherapy protocols for treatment. / A laringe é um órgão tubular do trato aerodigestivo cuja principal função é a produção da voz, além de funções relacionadas com a proteção das vias aéreas inferiores e deglutição alimentar. O carcinoma de células escamosas (CEC) de laringe apresenta-se como uma doença multifatorial e epigenética sendo influenciada por fatores ambientais, comportamentais e inerentes ao indivíduo. Vários genes polimórficos que codificam enzimas envolvidas na biotransformação de carcinógenos têm sido associados ao desenvolvimento de câncer, sobretudo no carcinoma espinocelular de cabeça e pescoço. Os genes CYP1A1m1, GSTM1 e GSTT1 são fundamentais no processo de detoxificação de Poli - Hidrocarbonetos Aromáticos (PHA) e de diversas moléculas endógenas, facilitando o seu metabolismo e excreção. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram de avaliar os dados epidemiológicos de pacientes diagnosticados com CEC da laringe do Registro de Câncer de Base Populacional de Goiânia (RCBP) da Associação de Combate ao Câncer em Goiás (ACCG), analisando os dados de 63 prontuários acompanhados num período de 6 anos; estabelecer os perfis alélicos dos genes CYP1A1m1, GSTM1 e GSTT1 em grupos caso-controle investigando os graus de suscetibilidade dos pacientes diagnosticados com CEC de laringe, segundo hábitos tabagistas e etilistas. Ao total foram avaliadas 112 amostras, sendo 63 provenientes de pacientes com CEC da laringe e 49 de pacientes do grupo controle. O CEC da laringe se mostrou cerca de 3,5 vezes mais freqüente em homens que em mulheres. A taxa de sobrevida relativa geral foi de aproximadamente 66% para 6 anos. Os hábitos tabagista e etilista concomitantes apresentam uma sobrevida consideravelmente menor. Foram encontradas freqüências alélicas para CYP1A1m1 de 52,4% (34/62) e 63,3% (31/49) para o alelo selvagem T e 44,4% (28/62) e 34,7% (18/49) para o alelo mutante C. Não foram encontradas associações estatisticamente significativas das variantes alélicas e genotípicas CYP1A1m1 para o CEC da laringe. Quanto aos genes GSTM1 e GSTT1 foram observadas freqüências genotípicas positivas para os genes GSTM1 e GSTT1 de 41,3% (26/63) e 54,0% (34/63) para os pacientes com carcinomas laríngeos, e de 49,0% (24/49) e 51,0% (25/49) para o grupo controle, respectivamente. Para a avaliação do genótipo GSTM1 (nulo) e GSTT1 (nulo), os pacientes do grupo caso apresentaram 58,7% (37/63) e 46,0% (29/63) de genótipos nulos para GSTM1 e GSTT1, enquanto que os pacientes do grupo controle apresentaram 51,0% (25/49) e 40,8% (20/49). Não foram encontradas associações estatisticamente significativas das variantes genotípicas GSTM1 (nulo) e GSTT1 (nulo) para o CEC da laringe. Neste contexto, foi realizado um estudo experimental no intuito de avaliar o papel dos genes Cyp e Gst no metabolismo da ciclofosfamida. Tal estudo abordou avaliações toxicológicas da Ciclofosfamida e a análise do polimorfismo dos genes Cyp2a29 e Gstp1 em camundongos BALB/c e correlacionando-os com a toxicidade da droga através da avaliação dos órgãos comumente afetados. A DL50 da droga observada em 40 camundongos foi de 474mg/Kg. Posteriormente, outros 40 camundongos foram utilizados na avaliação do polimorfismo genético dos genes Cyp2a29 e Gstp1. Quanto à toxicidade, a ciclofosfamida ocasionou redução da massa corporal nos rins, baço, fígado, coração e pulmões. A avaliação da toxicidade demonstrou alterações de diferentes graus de congestão observados no baço, fígado e coração. Não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre as freqüências alélicas e genotípicas de Cyp2a29 e Gstp1 nos grupos dos animais estudados. Estudos que preconizem a utilização de testes toxicológicos combinados à avaliação anatomopatológica e investigação da variabilidade genética permitem a padronização de protocolos de tratamento de diversos quimioterápicos.

Several authors have shown that the presence of genotype p53RR confers greater risk of developing tumors. OBJETIVE: To assess the allelic frequency of genetic polymorphism in codon 72 in TP53 gene in samples obtained from patients diagnosed with squamous carcinoma of base of the tongue treated at the Hospital Araújo Jorge and Associação de Combate ao Câncer em Goiás (ACCG)between 1990 and 2006. Evaluate the genetic predisposition for Base of Tongue Cancer linked of TP53 polimorphism, by identififyin of the presence or absence of the alleles p53R and/or p53P alleles in patients with this pathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is a casecontrol retrospective in nature, was conducted at Núcleo de Pesquisas Replicon of the Universidade Católica de Goiás in conjunction with the Hospital Araújo Jorge. We evaluated 54 patients with squamous carcinoma of the base of the tongue and 186 individuals without cancer. These were matched regarding gender, age, and the group of cases was evaluated clinical stage and smoking, alcohol consumption. The genotypes p53R and p53P were determined by PCR, using specific primers. RESULTS: The allele frequencies for p53R in cases and controls were 75.9% and 74.2%, while the p53P were 24.1% and 25.8% respectively. There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.79) in allele frequencies between the two groups, suggesting that the polymorphism of codon 72 of TP53 is not a risk factor for susceptibility to squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue base. CONCLUSION: The study does not find relationship between p53R and CCO carcinogenesis when compared sex, age and color. / INTRODUÇÃO: O polimorfismo no códon 72, prolina (p53P) ou arginina (p53R) está envolvido na habilidade da p53 em interagir com as proteínas celulares.

Nosso objetivo em estudar a memória desse grupo é compreendermos sua importância como um movimento cineclubista na história da cidade, quanto para percebermos o papel do cineclubismo enquanto “lugar de cultura” e de ressignificação do espaço público. E principalmente, ainda para entendermos o cinema como um instrumento gerador de sociabilidade, atuante na construção de relações sociais. Nossa metodologia apoia-se na técnica de entrevista em história oral, que serve como um meio para o resgate de memórias individuais e coletivas dos integrantes do CEC. Pensando nisso, foram realizadas 23 entrevistas com pessoas que participaram desse movimento. A dissertação fundamenta-se na perspectiva historiográfica como elemento chave para a reconstrução da trajetória do grupo. / This dissertation aims to investigate the film group trajectory: CEC – Center of Cinematography Studies of Juiz de Fora. It was formed by young scholars who served for twenty years (1957-1977) with cultural initiatives, promoting movie sessions, festivals and film courses in the city. Our goal in studying the memory of that group is understand its importance as a film society movement in the city history, how to realize the role of film as "place of culture" and of a new signification of public space. And mostly, it is still to understand film as an instrument of generator sociability, active in building social relationships. Our methodology is based on oral history interview technique, which serves as a means for the redemption of individual and collective members memories of the CEC. Then, we conducted 23 interviews with people who participated in this movement. The dissertation is based on the historiographical perspective as key element for rebuilding the group trajectory.
