La batalla contra el azúcar en los diarios digitales españoles: estrategias y respuestas = The battle against sugar in Spanish online newspapers: strategies and responses

Resumen : Introduccion : El azucar esta hoy en dia bajo el punto de mira y los medios de comunicacion no son ajenos a esta tendencia. Objetivo : Conocer el peso del azucar en su agenda tematica y el tratamiento informativo que este producto recibe. Metodologia : Se han analizado 245 textos que hacen referencia al azucar durante 2017 y 2018 en cinco diarios online: elpais.com, lavanguardia.com, abc.es, elconfidencial.com y eldiario.es. Resultados : Los resultados refrendan la relevancia que el azucar tiene, asi como la prevalencia de las tematicas sobre nutricion y/o salud frente a las de economia o politica. Los encuadres destacados en cada uno de estos ambitos son Medidas/Soluciones y Evidencias/Revelacion, respectivamente. Asimismo, los rasgos de estilo se corresponden con una voluntad de periodismo de servicio, donde abundan los titulares apelativos y las metaforas. La respuesta de los lectores a traves de los comentarios es minoritaria, concentrandose en los encuadres de Consecuencias y Evidencia, donde se priman los mensajes de perdidas. Conclusion : Se evidencia la funcion preventiva y pedagogica de los diarios y, aunque el encuadre de responsabilidad no es prioritario en ningun caso, se deduce que esta es compartida entre las corporaciones, las instituciones y sobre todo los individuos que la ven mitigada por diversos factores. Palabras clave : Azucar; diarios digitales; encuadre; nutricion; periodismo de servicio. Abstract : Introduction : Sugar is currently under the spotlight and the media are not unaware of this trend. Objective : To know the presence of sugar in its agenda and the information treatment this product receives. Methodology : 245 texts referring to sugar during 2017 and 2018 have been analyzed in five online newspapers: elpais.com, lavanguardia.com, abc.es, elconflidencial.com and eldiario.es. Results : The results confirm the relevance that sugar has, as well as the prevalence in the last year of the subjects on nutrition and/or health versus those of economy or politics. The frames in each of these areas are Measures / Solutions and Evidence / Revelation, respectively. Likewise, the features of style, especially in the nutritional field, correspond to a willingness towards the service journalism, where the flashy headlines and metaphors abound. Readers' response through the comments is minor, focusing on the Consequences and Evidence frameworks, where loss messages prevail.

Keywords : Sugar; online newspapers; framing; nutrition; service journalism.
Reform Adoption in a Postcollective Bargaining Governance Environment

In this article, we use data collected from Wisconsin superintendents to determine the extent to which the curtailing of collective bargaining facilitated local public management reform adoption. The results show the near elimination of collective bargaining did spur substantial reform adoption in areas of performance pay and recruitment, and that longer serving superintendents and those with partisan ideologies were more likely to adopt management reforms. However, the results also indicate that curtailing collective bargaining appeared to hurt employee morale and made it more difficult to recruit and retain quality teachers. The results contribute to the public human resource literature by providing a real life case study of how public management practices change when collective bargaining is eliminated.
Clinical outcomes of cataract surgery with implantation of a continuous transitional focus intraocular lens.

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes obtained after cataract or crystalline lens surgery with implantation of a new continuous transitional focus intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING San Rafael Hospital, Madrid, Spain. DESIGN Nonrandomized prospective case series. METHODS Uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery was performed with bilateral implantation of the continuous transitional focus IOL Precizon Presbyopic. Visual, refractive, and contrast sensitivity outcomes were evaluated during a 6-month follow-up. Likewise, the incidence of postoperative disturbing photic phenomena was recorded. RESULTS Sixty-two eyes of 31 patients (mean age: 61.3 years) were enrolled. Mean 6-month postoperative binocular uncorrected distance (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA), and near visual acuity (UNVA) were 0.01 ± 0.03, 0.17 ± 0.04, and 0.02 ± 0.04 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), respectively. A total of 98.4% (61) and 93.5% (58) of eyes achieved 20/25 monocular UDVA and UNVA or better, respectively, whereas all eyes (100%) achieved 20/30 UIVA or better. Mean corrected visual acuity of 0.14 ± 0.05, 0.15 ± 0.06, and 0.19 ± 0.02 logMAR were obtained for the defocus levels of -1.00, -1.50, and -2.00 diopters. Mean 6-month postoperative log contrast sensitivity was 1.22 ± 0.18 and 0.75 ± 0.10 for 12 and 18 cycles per degree, respectively. A total of 9.7% (3) and 6.5% (2) of patients reported disturbing halos and glare. CONCLUSIONS This presbyopia-correcting IOL provided a complete visual rehabilitation after cataract surgery, maintaining excellent levels of visual quality. Specifically, the IOL generated a continuous range of functional vision from distance to near, with minimal levels of photic phenomena associated.
Space‐Based Analysis of the Cloud Thermodynamic Phase Transition for Varying Microphysical and Meteorological Regimes

Phase transitions leading to cloud glaciation occur at temperatures that vary between − 38°C and 0°C depending on aerosol types and concentrations, the meteorology, and cloud microphysical and macrophysical parameters, although the relationships remain poorly understood. Here, we statistically retrieve a cloud glaciation temperature from two passive space‐based instruments that are part of the NASA/CNES A‐Train, the POLarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances (POLDER) and the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). We compare the glaciation temperature for varying bins of cloud droplet effective radius, latitude, and large‐scale vertical pressure velocity and specific humidity at 700 hPa. Cloud droplet size has the strongest influence on glaciation temperature: For cloud droplets larger than 21 μ m, the glaciation temperature is 6°C higher than for cloud droplets smaller than 9 μ m. Stronger updrafts are also associated with lower glaciation temperatures.
in Cerebral Injury Following Ischemic Stroke Pathogenic Natural Antibodies Propagate

Self-reactive natural Abs initiate injury following ischemia and reperfusion of certain tissues, but their role in ischemic stroke is unknown. We investigated neoepitope expression in the postischemic brain and the role of natural Abs in recognizing these epitopes and mediating complement-dependent injury. A novel IgM mAb recognizing a subset of phospholipids (C2) and a previously characterized anti-annexin IV mAb (B4) were used to reconstitute and characterize injury in Ab-deﬁcient Rag1 2 / 2 mice after 60 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. Reconstitution with C2 or B4 mAb in otherwise protected Rag1 2 / 2 mice restored injury to that seen in wild-type (wt) mice, as demonstrated by infarct volume, demyelination, and neurologic scoring. IgM deposition was demonstrated in both wt mice and reconstituted Rag1 2 / 2 mice, and IgM colocalized with the complement activation fragment C3d following B4 mAb reconstitution. Further, recombinant annexin IV signiﬁcantly reduced infarct volumes in wt mice and in Rag1 2 / 2 mice administered normal mouse serum, demonstrating that a single Ab reactivity is sufﬁcient to develop cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in the context of an entire natural Ab repertoire. Finally, C2 and B4 mAbs bound to hypoxic, but not normoxic, human endothelial cells in vitro. Thus, the binding of pathogenic natural IgM to postischemic neoepitopes initiates complement-dependent injury following murine cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, and, based also on previous data investigating IgM reactivity in human serum, there appears to be a similar recognition system in both mouse and man.

On the Syntax of Sentential Negation in Yemeni Arabic

In this paper we explore the system of negation in modern Arabic dialects with a particular focus on Yemeni Arabic (Raymi dialect). The data observed in this dialect incorporate important and novel facts related to the syntax of sentential negation in Arabic. This includes the distribution of negation patterns and the interaction between negation and negative polarity items, which challenges the two widely adopted analyses for sentential negation in Arabic: The Spec-NegP analysis and the discontinuous Neg analysis. In this paper we argue that neither analysis can provide an adequate account of Raymi Arabic facts. Instead, a more recent analysis, the Spilt-Neg analysis, can accommodate them. In addition, in the study we provide empirical evidence in support of the Higher-Neg analysis, wherein Neg is projected higher than T in the derivation.
Making densenet interpretable a case study in clinical radiology

The monotonous routine of medical image analysis under tight time constraints has always led to work fatigue for many medical practitioners. Medical image interpretation can be error-prone and this can increase the risk of an incorrect procedure being recommended. While the advancement of complex deep learning models has achieved performance beyond human capability in some computer vision tasks, widespread adoption in the medical field has been held back, among other factors, by poor model interpretability and a lack of high-quality labelled data. This paper introduces a model interpretation and visualisation framework for the analysis of the feature extraction process of a deep convolutional neural network and applies it to abnormality detection using the musculoskeletal radiograph dataset (MURA, Stanford). The proposed framework provides a mechanism for interpreting DenseNet deep learning architectures. It aims to provide a deeper insight about the paths of feature generation and reasoning within a DenseNet architecture. When evaluated on MURA at abnormality detection tasks, the model interpretation framework has been shown capable of identifying limitations in the reasoning of a DenseNet architecture applied to radiography, which can in turn be ameliorated through model interpretation and visualization.
Has China’s Investment Pattern in Sub-Saharan Africa Been Driven by Natural Resource Quest?

We assess China’s investment patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) using total investment data separated into foreign direct investment (FDI) and infrastructure investment in four separate groups of countries covering the period from 2005 to 2017. Answering four questions based on arguments by scholars on China’s involvement in the region, we find that: (a) FDI constitutes only about 27 percent of China’s total financial flows into SSA; (b) only 30 percent of the total financial flows from China to SSA have gone into the natural resource sector; (c) mineral-related investments in mineral-resource-endowed countries constitute less than one-third of the total investment; and (d) less than one-third of China’s total investment in the region is allocated to natural resource extraction. These findings seem to refute arguments that Chinese investments in Africa are directed at natural resource extraction and that only countries endowed with natural resources attract Chinese investments.
Wind driven circulation in Makassar Strait during monsoon 2017

The Makassar Strait (MS) connects the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia Waters via the Indonesia throughflow system. The flow varies because MS is also influenced by the monsoon. To determine the monsoon effect, we applied the two-dimensional numerical model with 6 hourly wind data. It was used to predict the MS current circulation during February, April, August, and October. According to recent studies, the results showed a good verification. The currents in the MS were dominated from the north of MS. The currents moved to the south of MS but sometimes deflected to the north. The currents were stronger during August and weaker during February. In August, the current from the north of MS moved to the south of MS, and it was partly deflected toward the north around Sulawesi Island. There was also the current from the south of MS directed toward the north. While in February, the current around Kalimantan Island was always to the south of MS. Based on the results, the MS currents were dominated by the currents from the north of MS or the Pacific Ocean.
Knock down of Fas-Associated Protein with Death Domain (FADD) Sensitizes Osteosarcoma to TNFα-induced Cell Death

Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) was first identified for its role in linking death receptors to the apoptotic signaling pathway with subsequent cell death. Later studies reported non-apoptotic functions for FADD in normal cells and cancer cells. Non-apoptotic functions for FADD in osteosarcoma (OS) have not been reported. In this study, FADD protein expression was knocked down in human CCHOSD, LM7, and SaOS2 OS cell lines followed by assessment of sensitivity to TNFα- or TRAIL-induced cell death. Knock down of FADD significantly increased TNFα-induced cell death in LM7 and SaOS2 cell lines. The mode of TNFα-induced cell death was apoptosis and not necroptosis. Inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) in wildtype cells increased TNFα-induced cell death to similar levels observed in FADD knockdown cells, suggesting a role for FADD in NFκB pro-survival cell signaling. In addition, knock down of FADD increased SMAC mimetic-mediated TNFα-induced cell death in all cell lines studied. The results of this study indicate that FADD has a pro-survival function in OS following TNFα treatment that involves NFκB signaling. The results also indicate that the pro-survival function of FADD is associated with XIAP activity.
FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN TINGKAT PENGETAHUAN KADER KESEHATAN TENTANG THALASSAEMIA DI KECAMATAN SUMBANG KABUPATEN BANYUMAS

ABSTRACT The number of thalassaemia patients in Banyumas regency continues to increas every year. Indonesian Thalassaemia Foundation or YTI (Yayasan Thalassaemia Indonesia) in Banyumas records that from 2009 until 2012 the number of patients increase from 44 to 235 patients. Prevention is necessary to decrease the number of thalassaemia patients by health volunteer’s role as an enabling factor to change public behavior. It will happen if only the health volunteer has the sufficient level of knowledge, especially about thalassaemia. This research to determine about factors related to health volunteer’s level of knowledge about thalassaemia in Sumbang district Banyumas regency. This research is an analytic research with cross sectional design. The population of this research is all of health volunteers (76 people) in Kecamatan Sumbang. The sample is 30 health volunteers that selected with purposive sampling method. The data that used a primer data that collected by questionnaire and analyzed in univariate and bivariate analysis with chi square test. Based on bivariate analysis result, there are a relation between interest (p=0,014) and being active as a health volunteer (p=0,034) with the level of knowledge about thalassaemia. There are no relation between age, education, occupation, income, experience, information exposure and period of service with the level of knowledge about thalassaemia. Suggestion for health volunteers is active disseminating information to the public about thalassaemia.

Exchange rate dynamics in South Africa

ABSTRACT The structure of the nominal exchange rates in South Africa is examined by using fractional integration. We investigate the levels and the volatilities against the US dollar, the British pound, the Euro, the Japanese yen, the Chinese yuan, the Australian dollar, and the Botswanan pula. The results indicate that most series are unit root, I(1) and though there is some evidence of mean reversion, the orders of integration are close to 1, implying high levels of persistence. However, there is evidence of mean reversion for Bostwana Pula in various subsamples. For the volatilities, the stationary long memory is observed in all cases.
TORCH Screening Test in Pregnant Women of Kirkuk City

In the course of pregnancy, the developing fetus might have some infections that can be transmit to him transplacentally from his mother. Early identification and treatment of these infections in a neonates is essential. Prenatal caution comprehends a range of tests, involving a TORCH screen test. From the beginning of July till the end of December 2014. 500 blood samples were collected for TORCH screening from pregnant women whom attended virology section in Azadi Teaching Hospital. The TORCH screening was performed using ELISA technique. The result of TORCH screening tests was not differed significantly between year 2013 and 2014, but there was significant differences between the frequency of the microorganisms included in TORCH screening, the highest was for Cytomegalovirus and Rubella with rates of 29.2, 39.1 % and 30.3, 41.8 % for each of the two viruses respectively. Lower frequency was observed for Toxoplasma with rate of 9.5, 8.9 % followed by Herpes simplex virus with a rate of only 1.1, 2.6 %. High rate of mixed infection were between Cytomegalovirus and Rubella . The frequency of chronic infections were significantly higher comparing with acute and subacute cases. The rate of infections was not effected by patients age. Cytomegalovirus , Rubella and Toxoplasma are prevalent among pregnant women in Kirkuk city and probably they are the causative agents of abortion and infertility found among them, therefore it's better for pregnant woman or those planning to become pregnant to be tested for TORCH infections, and vaccinated against Rubella , Cytomegalovirus, Herpes simplex virus and Toxoplasma to grantee her health as well as her baby .
Radiological Abnormalities and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Patients with Sickle Cell Disease

Objective: The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in sickle cell disease (SCD) in Jamaica is 5.3%. This study sought to determine the association between ASB and anatomical urological abnormalities and symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs). Methods: A matched case-controlled study of 11 patients with a history of ASB from the Jamaican Sickle Cell Cohort and 11 controls who did not have a history of ASB or recurrent UTIs but who had SCD was conducted. Midstream urine collected aseptically was obtained for urinalysis and culture and sensitivity analysis. Serum creatinine was measured. Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) and kidney-ureter-bladder ultrasound were done. History of UTIs was recorded in all cases. Results: The mean ± sd age of the group (cases and controls) was 34.2 ± 7.2 years. All VCUGs were normal. There was no difference in mean cortical thickness or renal scarring between cases and controls. All serum creatinine values were normal: cases (mean ± sd: 55.9 ± 15.3; min-max: 32–90 μmol/L) and controls (mean ± sd: 59.6 ± 18.5; min-max: 41–95 μmol/L). There was no difference in symptomatic UTIs between cases and controls. Conclusion: There was no association between anatomical urinary tract abnormalities and ASB in patients with SCD. Asymptomatic bacteriuria in SCD was not associated with increased numbers of symptomatic UTIs.
Pathoprevalence of infectious diseases of goat emphasizing on endoparasitic lesions at Dinajpur Sadar

This study was conducted to investigate the pathoprevalence of different infectious diseases of goat at Sadar upazilla of Dinajpur district in Bangladesh. Infectious cases were recorded with respect to breed, sex, age and season from Upazilla Veterinary Hospital and District Veterinary Hospital, Sadar, Dinajpur during July, 2014 to June, 2015 and diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical history, clinical examinations and common laboratory techniques with histopathological examination. A total of 2139 infectious diseases were founded and categorized by the causal agents where the highest prevalence was observed in mixed infectious diseases (46.06%) followed by viral diseases (28.93%), internal parasitic diseases (9.77%), external parasitic diseases (8.42%), bacterial diseases (3.00%), protozoal diseases (2.01%) and lowest was in fungal diseases (1.83%). The prevalence of infectious disease was significantly higher at Jamunapari (55.12%) than Black Bengal (44.88%). Female goats were more susceptible (54.32%) than male (45.68%). The prevalence was varied according to age and highest was in G-1 (45.48%) followed by G-2 (36.48%) and G-3 (17.68%). Summer season (33.60%) was common for infections followed by winter (33.51%) and rainy (32.89%). Most of the internal lesions were produced by the endoparasitic infections which were examined microscopically. These results indicate that, the prevalence of various infectious diseases in the goats was higher at Sadar, Dinajpur thus, there is a need for an appropriate control measures in order to prevent and minimize the loss caused by such diseases and this study may help to develop strategies against the infectious diseases of goat.

Die Neuregelung des Mikrozensus ab 2020

Der Mikrozensus ist die groste amtliche Haushaltsstatistik in Deutschland, er liefert jahrlich wichtige Informationen fur Politik, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft. Daneben erheben die statistischen Amter regelmasig weitere Haushaltsstatistiken, wie die bereits in den Mikrozensus integrierte Arbeitskrafteerhebung der Europaischen Union, die europaweite Statistik uber Einkommen und Lebensbedingungen (SILC) oder die Befragung zu Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT). Aufgrund steigender Anforderungen beispielsweise im Bereich der Arbeitsmarkt- und Armutsberichterstattung wurde das System der Haushaltsstatistiken in Deutschland neu konzipiert. Das neue Mikrozensusgesetz integriert die bisher separat durchgefuhrten Erhebungen zu SILC und IKT in den Mikrozensus. Zugleich ermoglicht die Neuregelung eine innovative Erhebungsorganisation und erweiterte Analysen.
