EXAME DE PAPANICOLAOU: FATORES QUE INFLUENCIAM AS MULHERES A NĂO RECEBEREM O RESULTADO
The increase in providing services, prevention and treatment of cancer in the uterine neck will be limited in their application, if women do not return to receive the result of the Papanicoulau exam. Not receiving the citopathological reports means discontinued treatment, which impedes efficient therapy for detected lesions. The objective of this study is to identify the reasons that cause women not to receive the results of the preventative exams. The study was carried out with women that had their prevented exam from the year 2005 through June 2006, and did not return to receive the result. A total of 29 women collaborated in the investigation. Factors that made it difficult to receive the results of the Papanicolau exam, according to the interviewed women range from questions related to the organization of the institution to questions related to the individual woman. However, the questions related to the institution represent a percentage much higher (27.3%) in comparison with other questions. From factors that affect women not receiving the results, professionals can intervene in the hospital visit and emphasize the importance of obtaining the result and having regular follow-ups.El aumento en la prestación de servicios, prevención y tratamiento de casos de cáncer de cuello de útero tendrá limitado su ámbito de aplicación, si las mujeres no vuelven para recibir el resultado del examen de Papanicolaou.

O não recebimento dos laudos citopatológicos acarreta descontinuidade do tratamento, impedindo ações terapêuticas eficazes para as lesões detectadas. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar os motivos que levam as mulheres a não receberem os resultados dos exames de prevenção. A pesquisa foi realizada com mulheres que fizeram seu exame de prevenção no ano de 2005 até junho de 2006 e não retornaram para receber o resultado. Um total de 29 mulheres colaboraram com a pesquisa. Os fatores dificultadores para o recebimento do resultado do exame de Papanicoloau, segundo as mulheres entrevistadas, perpassam desde questões ligadas à organização da instituição até questões ligadas à própria mulher. Todavia, as questões ligadas à instituição representaram uma parcela bem maior (27,3%) quando comparada às demais. A partir dos fatores que influenciam as mulheres a não receberem os laudos, os profissionais poderão intervir durante a consulta enfatizando a importância de receber o resultado e ter um seguimento regula

Authorship trends in software engineering
This paper aims to examine authorship trends in software engineering, especially those related to the number of authors, of scientific publications. We collected and mined around 70.000 entries from DBLP for 122 conferences and journals, for the period 1971â2012, in order to process several bibliometric indicators. We provide evidence that the number of authors of articles in software engineering is increasing on average around +0.40 authors/decade. The results also indicate that until 1980, the majority of the articles have a sole author, while nowadays articles with 3 or 4 authors represent almost half of the total.Fundação para a CiĂȘncia e a Tecnologia (FCT

Fires can benefit plants by disrupting antagonistic interactions
Fire has a key role in the ecology and evolution of many ecosystems, yet its effects on plantâinsect interactions are poorly understood. Because interacting species are likely to respond to fire differently, disruptions of the interactions are expected. We hypothesized that plants that regenerate after fire can benefit through the disruption of their antagonistic interactions. We expected stronger effects on interactions with specialist predators than with generalists. We studied two interactions between two Mediterranean plants (Ulex parviflorus, Asphodelus ramosus) and their specialist seed predators after large wildfires. In A. ramosus we also studied the generalist herbivores. We sampled the interactions in burned and adjacent unburned areas during 2 years by estimating seed predation, number of herbivores and fruit set. To assess the effect of the distance to unburned vegetation we sampled plots at two distance classes from the fire perimeter. Even 3 years after the fires, Ulex plants experienced lower seed damage by specialists in burned sites. The presence of herbivores on Asphodelus decreased in burned locations, and the variability in their presence was significantly related to fruit set. Generalist herbivores were unaffected. We show that plants can benefit from fire through the disruption of their antagonistic interactions with specialist seed predators for at least a few years. In environments with a long fire history, this effect might be one additional mechanism underlying the success of fire-adapted plants
Parasite Lost: Chemical and Visual Cues Used by Pseudacteon in Search of Azteca instabilis
An undescribed species of phorid fly (genus: Pseudacteon) parasitizes the ant Azteca instabilis F Smith, by first locating these ants through the use of both chemical and visual cues. Experiments were performed in Chiapas, Mexico to examine a) the anatomical source of phorid attractants, b) the specific chemicals produced that attract phorids, and c) the nature of the visual cues used by phorids to locate the ants. We determined that phorid-attracting chemicals were present within the dorsal section of the abdomen, the location of the pygidial gland. Further experiments indicate that a pygidial gland compound, 1-acetyl-2-methylcyclopentane, is at least partially responsible for attracting phorid flies to their host. Finally, although visual cues such as movement were important for host location, size and color of objects did not influence the frequency with which phorids attacked moving targets
Two-pion Bose-Einstein correlations in central Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV
The first measurement of two-pion Bose-Einstein correlations in central Pb-Pb
collisions at TeV at the Large Hadron Collider is
presented. We observe a growing trend with energy now not only for the
longitudinal and the outward but also for the sideward pion source radius. The
pion homogeneity volume and the decoupling time are significantly larger than
those measured at RHIC.Comment: 17 pages, 5 captioned figures, 1 table, authors from page 12,
