Efecto de la suplementación con vitamina D3 en adultos infectados por el VIH: Una revisión sistemática Effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on HIV-infected adults: a systematic reviewVitamin Dӡ Supplementation on HIV-Infected Adults: A Systematic Review

Introduction: much evidence confirms that vitamin D may be associated with an improvement in CD4 cell counts in HIV-infected individuals, where antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used and associated with decreased 25(OH)D levels. Objective: to carry out a systematic review on the effect of vitamin D supplementation on HIV-infected adult patients. Methods: the research was conducted in the databases Science Direct, PubMed, BVS, Scielo Cochrane and Periods, from February to April 2018, with publication limit from 2000 to 2018, without restriction of gender, ethnicity and involving individuals with age older than 18 years. To evaluate the quality of the studies, we used the protocol Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) and the Jadad scale. Results: the search initially resulted in 198 articles. After the selection process 5 articles were identified as eligible, where they highlight that vitamin D supplementation may be an associated and effective intervention to reduce hypovitaminosis. ART reduces vitamin D3 levels and changes its metabolism, being associated with the risk of mortality. However, adequate levels of 25(OH)D are positively associated with the number of CD4 + cells and the reduction of infection levels. Conclusion: vitamin D supplementation promotes immune recovery. However, the cases analysed were few, insufficient to fully confirm the benefits and recommend supplementation. Therefore, intervention studies are needed to elucidate the role of vitamin D in human protection against HIV infections.
Seeking Micro-influencers for Brand Promotion

What made you want to wear the clothes you are wearing? Where is the place you want to visit for your next-coming holiday? Why do you like the music you frequently listen to? If you are like most people, you probably made these decisions as a result of watching influencers on social media. Furthermore, influencer marketing is an opportunity for brands to take advantage of social media using a well-defined and well-designed social media marketing strategy. However, choosing the right influencers is not an easy task. With more people gaining an increasing number of followers in social media, finding the right influencer for an E-commerce company becomes paramount. In fact, most marketers cite it as a top challenge for their brands. To address the aforementioned issues, we proposed a data-driven micro-influencer ranking scheme to solve the essential question of finding out the right micro-influencer. Specifically, we represented brands and influencers by fusing their historical posts' visual and textual information. A novel k-buckets sampling strategy with a modified listwise learning to rank model were proposed to learn a brand-micro-influncer scoring function. In addition, we developed a new Instagram brand micro-influencer dataset, consisting of 360 brands and 3,748 micro-influencers, which can benefit future researchers in this area. The extensive evaluations demonstrate the advantage of our proposed method compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

Increasing reading fluency through repeated , teacher modeled oral readings

Response to Intervention has become a relevant topic in regards to special education within the past few years. With this said, there is little understanding within the high school in the School District of Waukesha about which interventions are relevant and research-based to use with students identified with a reading disability. In the following study, three special education students with specific learning disabilities were given instruction in fluency via teacher modeled oral read alouds and repeated readings to explore the effects of their fluency. Students were then observed and evaluated on their fluency throughout this six week unit. At the end of the research, data showed that there is a correlation between students’ fluency growth when provided with oral reading by teacher modeling and repeated readings. THE EFFECTS OF ORAL, MODELED REAPEATED READINGS 4 Table of
HexDeck : Gamification of Tangibles for Brainstoming

So far, brainstorming has been widely used for creating new products. By providing various kinds of novel or unusual thoughts to think outside the box, brainstorming has developed some auxiliary methods and tools to stimulate creativity. As a tool for stimulative thinking, cards are said to have numerous advantages. In recent years, the appearance of gamification, which connects the concepts of HCI and games, has caused a sensation to the game world. Gamification is to employ game-designing elements in nongame contexts and the concept gives us another idea in brainstorming. This essay aims at how to combine gamification with creative cards in brainstormting. We digitalize the physical cards to display its information, improve cards through game-designing elements and interact with game-like methods. With game elements, we can change people's behavior, help users enjoy the meeting and further stimulate deliberations.
COMMUNITY-BASED ANIMAL HEALTH WORKERS ( CAHWs ) GUARDIANS FOR QUALITY , LOCALISED ANIMAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH

The VSF International network advocates for CAHWs to be recognized as true guardians for quality, community-based animal health services in the global South by addressing the following key issues: Providing a definition of CAHWs and their different categories, each with clarified roles and activities, and include these into the veterinary legislation of the countries; Standardizing the training curricula at national level, which shall include a minimal common base of competences and some location-specific competences, according to the context; Clarifying the roles and responsibilities of each of the actors involved in the local animal health system, including supervision of CAHWs in order to ensure the quality of the services. In many rural areas in the global South, the number of qualified veterinarians often does not suffice to provide quality animal health services at local level. In these areas, inhabited by livestock and agricultural communities, this deficiency in terms of animal health services leads to certain risks related to poverty, public health and food insecurity and nutrition.
Adapting a Business Model Ontology to the Application Case of Health Information Technology

Health information technology (HIT) assists in implementing comprehensive care approaches to deal with challenges like demographic changes. The change processes driven by IT are also challenging the healthcare field. Business Models (BMs) as an analytical tool representing an organization’s business activities are a mean to achieve valuable and long-lasting solutions by combining technical and domain-specific perspectives. Business model representations (BMRs) ease the handling of BMs. BMRs are conceptual models that systematically and formally depict BMs. Conceptual and terminological uncertainties hamper the progression of the research field. Heterogeneous notations and concepts with insufficiently described semantics are a result. An ontological description of the relations between the BM’s components ensuring its problem adequacy and validity is needed to come to the desired common ground. Furthermore, focusing on a distinct domain is necessary to guide the development and use of HIT solutions. So, a first attempt of an ontology that can be the basis for a respective HIT-BMR will be proposed.
Why Won ’ t You Share ? Barriers to Participation in the Sharing Economy Completed Research

This paper presents a study of barriers to participation in the sharing economy. We study both, the barriers to participation as a provider, as well as the barriers to participation as a consumer in the sharing economy. We conducted semi-structured interviews and used grounded theory techniques to identify barriers that prevent participation in the sharing economy. Our findings suggest that nine barriers have a negative impact on participation in the sharing economy: Effort expectancy, exploitation, inflexibility, lack of trust, performance risk, physical risk, privacy risk, process risk, and undesired social interaction. We show how these barriers relate to three main elements of the sharing economy: The platform, the resource, and other
ASSESSING FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPLETENESS OF DATA COVERAGE ON HIV POSITIVE PREGNANT WOMEN IN SARDAUNA , TARABA STATE

Obtaining complete data coverage on HIV status of pregnant women is vital in controlling and monitoring HIV incidence in women of reproductive age. This study is aimed at assessing the factors affecting completeness of data coverage on HIV positive pregnant women in Sardauna local government of Taraba State. A descriptive cross sectional study using quantitative methods was used. Structured questionnaire was administered to 100 respondents selected by convenient sampling, where data on challenging factors in achieving completeness of data coverage of HIV infected pregnant women in the study area was obtained. Mean rating was used to rank the factors using a three point type Likert scale. Among the factors militating against data coverage, it was discovered that location of health facilities, stigmatization, and poor data management practices are the leading factors, it is therefore recommended that health centres should be located in rural areas and computerized management information system should be put in place for effective data management.
Motivation , commitment and innovation – a study of the interpersonal perspective in two Swedish network formation processes . Work in progress

Strategic networking between organizations is initiated in order to generate innovation, an outcome not to be taken for granted. However, several studies show that network structures are important for innovation performance. This paper is answering the call for studies of interpersonal relationships in networks focusing on individual’s motivation and relationship commitment as vital parts of network structure. Motivation theory finds individuals to be intrinsically or extrinsically motivated, implying that there are “inner” drivers like desire to be creative and act autonomously, and “external” drivers like goals, rewards and rules that affect the outcome of work-related behavior. We argue that intrinsic motivation will yield creativity and perception of autonomy in turn generating more affective relationship commitment, closer relationships and thus innovation performance. Extrinsic motivation, in turn, yields goal-fulfillment and thus calculative and moral relationship commitment facilitating innovation. Drawing from two embedded case studies focusing 94 individuals in two strategic networks situated in northern Sweden, we suggest that seeking extrinsic monetary rewards from network collaboration might come up short if this network effort is not fueled by intrinsic motivation and an affective commitment to the task.

DNA barcode of COI genetic marker of the Indian Aedes albopictus ( Skuse ) ( Insecta : Diptera : Culicidae )

Aedes albopictus is an anthropophilic mosquito and an efficient vector of certain arboviral diseases such as dengue and chikungunya in India. In the recent past dengue cases were increasing steadily in urban areas and especially in Hyderabad city. In this context mosquito species composition and their density matters to note the disease burden. The recent technique of species identification through DNA barcode was unveiled and found to be novel approach in furthering evolutionary connection with other Indian species of Aedes mosquito. Interestingly, it was found to be divergent from the species reported within India. DNA sequence comparisons and phylogenetic genetic relationship of COI gene were carried out in order to inspect the homology of the sequences and evolutionary divergence with that of Hyderabad species. The partial COI gene sequence was submitted to NCBI-GenBank nucleic acid database with the accession number JX649856.
Sampling Techniques for Plants and Soil

The practical implementation of precision farming requires that the spatial and temporal variability of soils and crops be measured and understood. It is usually insurmountable and expensive to measure everything, but it is also almost always unnecessary to do so. Survey sampling and stereology provide mathematically valid techniques to make reliable inferences about spatial populations based on small samples. Stereology provides a stochastic approach to measurement of geometrical parameters of a given structure such as volume, surface area, curve length, or ‘particle’ 1 number (Baddeley and Jensen, 2004).

Cleaner production practices towards circular economy implementation at the micro-level: an empirical investigation of a home appliance manufacturer

The concept of circularity has been widely discussed in the literature, but the implementation of the circular economy (CE) concept at the micro-level remains unexplored. Manufacturing companies should develop new business strategies and implement new practices in the transition process towards a circular economy model at the bottom-up. Cleaner production (CP) principles and practices have been discussed as essential for CE adoption at the micro-level, but specific studies should be conducted regarding the adoption and effects of cleaner production in promoting CE. Thus, this paper aims to explore the cleaner production principles and practices adopted by a manufacturing company located in an emerging economy in order to understand how those were valuable to foster CE implementation. A case-based research was adopted in this investigation. The CP practices introduced by the company were analyzed, their connections with the requirements to be measured when transitioning to a CE paradigm, and with CE areas at the micro-level. An inductive approach was adopted to develop some propositions regarding CP and CE interactions. The main findings revealed that CP practices for product optimization are valuable to CE implementation regarding circular product design strategies. The CP principle of input substitution is valuable to reduce input and use of natural resources as well as to increase the share of renewable and recyclable resources. Technological optimization can contribute to reducing emissions level. In addition, it could be noticed that CP practices at the production area enable CE practices implementation at the micro-level and a connection with other CE areas (i.e. waste management, consumption, and support). Moreover, the findings confirmed that all CP practices and principles implemented by the company were enablers to the CE issues implementation regarding the new business strategy. Further studies may focus on testing the propositions developed in this study in other manufacturing contexts as well as on the investigation of possible cause-effect relationship that may exist between CP and CE practices adoption.
Online Appendix Value Preferences and Structures Among Japanese Voters and Political Candidates

This study investigates value preferences and structures among Japanese voters and political candidates. Voters were surveyed after the 2014 Lower House election, while political candidates were surveyed before the 2016 Upper House election. To measure their value preferences, respondents were asked to rank seven values: freedom, equality, economic stability, morality, self-reliance, social order, and patriotism. Statistical analyses reveal substantially different value priorities between voters and candidates. Furthermore, although little distinctiveness in value preferences was observed among Japanese voters, the tendency and cohesion of value preferences among candidates varied across parties. More specifically, the four opposition parties that collaborated in the 2016 election and the Clean Government Party had similar value preferences, while the least cohesive party in terms of value preferences was the Liberal Democratic Party.
Modelling soil evaporation in an agroforestry system in Kenya

Soil evaporation measurements from bare soil and shaded soil under an agroforestry tree canopy were used to construct a model to predict soil evaporation with and without tree shade. It was found that a simple daily time step model based on the Ritchie (1972) approach was unable to predict daily soil evaporation accurately, but was capable of providing good estimates of cumulative soil evaporation over hydrologically signi®cant periods (weeks±months). This model was used to show how trees could reduce annual soil evaporation directly beneath their canopy by an average of 35% (compared to completely bare soil), equivalent to 21% of rainfall. In sparse agroforestry tree canopies the area average saving is smaller, depending on tree leaf area index (LAI). The model also demonstrated how annual saving in soil evaporation due to a tree canopy might vary with rainfall, with a maximum of around 180 mm being achieved once rainfall exceeded 1000 mm yearÿ1. This saving in soil water is very signi®cant and will help offset the enhanced evaporative losses associated with tree canopies due to interception and re-evaporation of rainfall or as tree transpiration. # 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

NORMATIVE COMMITMENT AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING ; INFLUENCE OF COGNITION BASED TRUST AND PERCEIVED COST OF KNOWLEDGE SHARING

This study attempts to underpin the role of normative commitment on knowledge sharing (KS) within the framework of moderating variable of cognition based trust through reducing the perceived cost of knowledge sharing. This study uses a survey of 180 questionnaires from ten public sector universities of Punjab and employs the standardized versions of predictors in multivariate regression analysis to investigate the moderation. Exploratory factor analysis and average variance extraction is used to examine the convergent and discriminant validity. Further, this study employs confirmatory factor analysis to examine the overall fitness of the model. The key findings of the study postulate that cognition based trust moderates the relationship between normative commitment and knowledge sharing and further between perceived cost of knowledge and knowledge sharing. The findings of the study conclude that cognition trust improves the knowledge sharing behavior in colleagues. Nevertheless, the study concludes that universities’ management should emphasize towards social exchange relationships to facilitate KS behavior among faculty members through adopting collaborative culture and appropriate structure in universities.
Photoperiod Effected on Indole-3-acetic Acid Synthase Genes Expression of Beta Vulgaris

The phytohormone auxin drives plants growth, development and the transformation of morphogenesis. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) has been identified as the major auxin in plant species increasingly and the evolutionary biosynthesis pathway of IAA was conserved in the plant kingdom. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is an important crop plant that accounts for 30% of the world’s sugar production annually. Ten IAA synthetic genes such as BvAMI1, BvNIT4, Bv22D, BvIAA6, BvIAA8, BvIAA9, BvIAA13, BvIAA26, BvIAA29 and BvIAA33 were explored whose expression played critical roles in rate-limiting step of the IAA synthesis pathway in Sugar beet. Moreover the expression patterns of these genes were investigated by qRT-PCR and the IAA concentration was quantified by UPLC-MS/MS in leaves of different time points and photoperiods in order to find out the mechanism that how IAA regulated plant development under different photoperiods. These results demonstrated that BvIAA6, BvIAA9, BvIAA13, BvIAA26, BvIAA33 and Bv22D genes significantly expressed different in leaves between the long day(16h) and short day(8h), which were consistanted with the contents of IAA by UPLC/MS/MS. Collecttively, our data provided a different angle for analyzing and understanding the molecular mechanisms between photoperiods and the synthesis of IAA during plant development.
Planar Graphs have Bounded Queue-Number Vida Dujmović

We show that planar graphs have bounded queue-number, thus proving a conjecture of Heath, Leighton and Rosenberg from 1992. The key to the proof is a new structural tool called layered partitions, and the result that every planar graph has a vertex-partition and a layering, such that each part has a bounded number of vertices in each layer, and the quotient graph has bounded treewidth. This result generalises for graphs of bounded Euler genus. Moreover, we prove that every graph in a minor-closed class has such a layered partition if and only if the class excludes some apex graph. Building on this work and using the graph minor structure theorem, we prove that every proper minor-closed class of graphs has bounded queue-number. Layered partitions have strong connections to other topics, including the following two examples. First, they can be interpreted in terms of strong products. We show that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a path with some graph of bounded treewidth. Similar statements hold for all proper minor-closed classes. Second, we give a simple proof of the result by DeVos et al. (2004) that graphs in a proper minor-closed class have low treewidth colourings. ∗School of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada (vida.dujmovic@uottawa.ca).
