A maturity model for DevOps

Nowadays, businesses aim to respond to customer needs at unprecedented speed. Thus, many companies are rushing to the DevOps movement. DevOps is the combination of Development and Operations and a new way of thinking in the software engineering domain. However, no common understanding of what it means has yet been achieved. Also, no adoption models or fine-grained maturity models to assist DevOps maturation and implementation were identified. Therefore, this research attempt to fill these gaps. A systematic literature review is performed to identify the determining factors contributing to the implementation of DevOps, including the main capabilities and areas with which it evolves. Then, two sets of interviews with DevOps experts were performed and their experience used to build the DevOps Maturity Model. The DevOps maturity model was then developed grounded on scientific and professional viewpoints. Once developed the Maturity Model was demonstrated in a real organisation.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

Isolamento e caracterização de bactérias presentes em explantes cultivados in vitro do clone FDR5865 de seringueira.

A seringueira é a fonte natural da borracha e sua cultura é explorada mundialmente. É uma planta alógama, suas sementes são recalcitrantes e a propagação vegetativa é o método mais recomendado. Com o preço elevado do petróleo, a borracha sintética, apesar de ser mais barata que a natural, fica menos competitiva, além disso, tem-se a pressão pelo uso de produtos naturais. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar isolados bacterianos oriundos de explantes de seringueira cultivados in vitro e testar a sua sensibilidade à antibióticos. Após desinfestação segmentos nodais do clone FDR5865 foram inoculados em meio de cultura WPM e mantidos em sala de crescimento. Após 30 dias, o material que apresentou contaminação bacteriana visível foi selecionado e os contaminantes foram purificados utilizando o método de esgotamento por estrias. Posteriormente, os isolados foram testados quanto a sua sensibilidade à antibióticos e caracterizados morfologicamente. Foram encontrados dois tipos de bactérias, que foram nomeadas de isolados 1 e 2, estas foram caracterizadas como Gram negativas e apresentaram forma de cocos. O isolado 1 foi a mais resistente, apresentando resistência a 19 dos 20 antibióticos testados. Este trabalho tem caráter pioneiro, visto que a utilização de explantes de plantas oriundas do campo é pouco relatada na literatura e apresenta um grau de dificuldade muito maior do que a utilização de material provindo de casa de vegetação

Arthroscopic Anatomical Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction using a Button Device and a Semitendinosus Graft

Objective: To report a new technique for anatomical acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction. Methods: In order to minimize such complications, the authors describe a new anatomical and biological AC joint repair. This technique aims to provide greater stability by using two anatomically placed clavicular tunnels and a combined construct with a double endobutton cortical fixation for primary stabilization, and to be biologically advantageous by using an autologous semitendinosus (ST) tendon graft. Additionally, the coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction is complemented with an AC joint cerclage and capsular reinforcement, which will protect the biological construction in its initial stage of healing. Results: This technique provides adequate primary and secondary biomechanical stability by passing both a semitendinosus autogenous graft and a double endobutton device, through anatomically placed and small diameter clavicle holes, without the need for coracoid drilling. Our technique showed encouraging results regarding pain resolution, range of motion, and function. At final follow-up we experienced excellent results with average pain score of 1.6, and average ROM of 159° of forward flexion, 160° of abduction, 68° of external rotation, and internal rotation level at T11. Postoperative function also showed great improvements with average ASES of 85 points, an average Constant Score of 87 and a Subjective Shoulder Value of 89 points. This technique also achieved perfectly acceptable radiographic results, with an average coracoclavicular distance increase of 0.8 mm. Regarding complications, our sample showed one case of AC join subluxation, two cases of internal saphenous nerve injury, and two partial graft tears at the suture-button interface, with none of these requiring surgical revision. Conclusion: This technique is advantageous in treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation and can be performed in both the subacute and chronic setting.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

CODAP: um Consenso Multidisciplinar sobre a Definição, Diagnóstico e Tratamento da Dislipidemia Aterogénica em Portugal

Introduction and aims: Atherogenic dyslipidemia is an important contributor to residual cardiovascular (CV) risk, but it is underdiagnosed and undertreated. This study aimed to assess the opinion of Portuguese experts to generate a consensus concerning the diagnosis and treatment of atherogenic dyslipidemia, as well as to contribute toward standardization of clinical practice in this disorder. Methods: The study consisted in the application of a questionnaire to an expert panel, following a modified Delphi methodology. Results: The majority (88.4%) of the proposed items were found to be consensual. The expert panel recognized the importance of the atherogenic dyslipidemia phenotype, the role played by low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as risk markers and therapeutic targets, the choice of statins as first-line lipid-lowering drugs, and the value of associating statins with fenofibrate as a means to reduce residual CV risk. However, the role played by triglycerides in CV risk and the therapeutic value of fibrates lacked consensus. Taking into consideration the state of the art and the opinions expressed in this study, the scientific committee developed a treatment algorithm aimed to improve the perception and treatment of atherogenic dyslipidemia. Conclusions: The experts involved in this study were shown to be familiar with the concept and the importance of atherogenic dyslipidemia. The few situations in which a consensus could not be found were mainly related to the interpretation and/or relevance of the available evidence.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
