Fatores de risco para morte em pacientes com sepse em uma unidade de terapia intensiva

Objective: to determine the main risk factors for death in patients with sepsis in an intensive care unit. Methods: it is a retrospective cohort study, wich included 126 patient chorts lhat had clinical and clinical and laboratory diagnosis of sepsis were considered eligible. The conditional probability of death was calculated through the Kaplan-Meier method and the risk of death was estimated by the hazard ratio, using a Cox regression model with p<0.050. Results: a total of 124 patients were included in the study. The main focus of infection was the respiratory system. Regarding the outcome, 40.3% patients with sepsis, 73.9% with severe sepsis and 69.2% with septic shock died. Patients with abdominal sepsis and using vasopressors were at higher risk of death. Conclusion: septic patients with abdominal source of infection and using vasopressor agents had a higher risk of dying, while patients who were tracheostomized had a better chance of living.
A Study of Factors Associated with Dietary Supplement Consumption in Menopausal Women.

The purpose of the present study was to find factors associated with dietary supplement consumption in menopausal women, and to examine nursing support for maintaining and improving their health. We surveyed menopausal women (aged 40-60 years) using an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The relationship between dietary supplement consumption status and individual characteristics, menopausal symptoms, the perception regarding menopause, sense of selfefficacy, and health promotion behaviors (HPB) were examined. HPB were measured using the Japanese version of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP). Responses were obtained from 256 women (response rate: 67.9%). Of these, 187 responses were valid and were included in our data analyses. Among the factors associated with dietary supplement consumption, we found significant correlations between the severity of menopausal symptoms, age, change in menstruation, surgical history, and the HPB items "participation in seminars" and "finding someone who can give advice. " Of these, the most significant independent variable was the severity of menopausal symptoms. These results suggest that menopausal women became concerned about their health when their menstruation status changed and started taking dietary supplements according to these symptoms. To support health maintenance and improvement in menopausal women, nurses should provide information regarding menopause before its onset, hold health classes, and establish a consultation office for menopausal women.
Depression among elderly people in an urban slum of Central India

In India 7.5% population is above 60 yrs and about half of them are suffering from some chronic disease. This population is vulnerable to chronic and silent depressive changes which can be enhanced by social neglect, physical and economical dependability, loss of spouses or near ones, increased disease susceptibilities and chronic debilities. A community based Cross-sectional study of 200 elderly people was carried out with help of questionnaire consisting of socio-demography, dependency, substance abuse, physical and psychological morbidity data along with Geriatric Depression Scale (Short Version). Mean age of the study subjects 65.54±5.63 years. 52% population was economically dependent on others. Prevalence of depression was found to be 39.5%. Depression was significantly associated with advancing age, illiteracy, nuclear or three generation family, living away from family. Depression was also found significantly associated with morbidities like ocular disorders, genitourinary tract diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, skin diseases and anorexia. No association was found between addiction and depression. Keywords : Elderly people, Depression, Geriatric depression scale, Gerontology.
La interacción texto /imagen en el cuento ilustrado. Un análisis multimodal

El objetivo de este articulo es realizar un analisis multimodal de un album ilustrado, basandose en el modelo semiotico de Kress y van Leeuwen y en las categorias de interaccion texto / ilustracion de Nikolajeva y Scott. El analisis revela un claro predominio de relaciones simetricas, complementarias y de ampliacion, que desempenan una funcion determinante en la creacion de significado, tanto a nivel textual como visual. Los componentes verbales y visuales estan cuidadosamente distribuidos en cada pagina, de forma que ambos modos, a la vez que se complementan, se especializan en la transmision de aspectos informativos especificos. Autor e ilustradora parecen combinar sus esfuerzos para mostrar la historia desde dos perspectivas, la visual y la verbal, con el objetivo de facilitar al nino la comprension del cuento y mantener su interes en la historia narrada.
Aportacions a la modelització de la màquina d'inducció de gàbia d'esquirol

En aquesta tesi es tracten en profunditat diversos aspectes sobre la modelitzacio de la maquina d’induccio de gabia d’esquirol. En el primer capitol, a partir dels parametres i de les caracteristiques electriques i mecaniques pels fabricants d’aerogeneradors de velocitat fixa, s’analitza la bondat dels models lineals classics de la literatura: el model de simple gabia i el model de doble gabia. Els resultats de l’estudi permeten concloure que, el model de doble gabia es mes flexible i permet ajustar completament tots els requeriments. Aquests resultats teorics, son validats en diferents motors de baixa potencia. En el segon capitol s’analitza el comportament no lineal de la maquina degut a l’efecte de la saturacio magnetica. L’assaig de diferents motors amb diferents nivells de saturacio, mostra experimentalment que les corbes de parelllliscament i corrent-lliscament es veuen afectades pel grau de saturacio de la maquina. Per modelitzar analiticament la saturacio es proposa una funcio que ajusta les mesures experimentals. Com a solucio optima es proposa la utilitzacio del model de doble gabia en el que la reactancia de dispersio de l’estator es no lineal. En el tercer capitol, s’analitza el comportament de la maquina en la zona de fre i es presenten mesures experimentals que mostren que es deformen el alguns motors les corbes de parell-lliscament en aquesta zona de treball. Aquest efecte pot ser explicat per la presencia d’harmonics de camp, motiu pel que els models lineals no son capacos de reproduir-lo. En aquest capitol s’analitza la presencia d’aquests harmonics de camp i s’utilitza un esquema equivalent que ajusta de manera satisfactoria els resultats obtinguts al laboratori. Finalment en el quart capitol, s’analitzen els efectes dels sots de tensio en els aerogeneradors de velocitat fixa. S’estudia l’efecte del model de la maquina i de la debilitat o no de la xarxa a la que roman connectada la maquina quan aquesta es veu sotmesa a un sot de tensio. Es proposa alguns indicadors per avaluar l’estabilitat de la maquina en aquestes condicions.
Querying String Databases with Modal Logic

New application areas for databases demand the possibility of managing not only the traditional atomic but also structured data types. One type of this kind is a nite sequence of characters drawn from a nite alphabet. These string databases are important for example in molecular biology data management , because they can for instance represent DNA sequences directly as strings from alphabet fA; C; G; Tg. Then the query language must be able to manipulate strings both as indivisible entities and as ordered sequences of distinct characters, perform pattern matching in strings, compare several strings with each other, and generate new strings not yet in the database. This work presents Alignment Calculus, a new modal logic extension of the relational calculus, which satisses all these requirements with a new uni-ed string manipulation formalism. This formalism is based on the concept of multiple alignment of several strings; computational molecular biology employs an analogous concept. In the language, alignments are described logically with string formulae, a new extension of linear-time temporal logic into multiple strings. The abstract expressive power of Alignment Calculus is shown to equal the Arithmetical Hierarchy. The work develops also a syntactically safe sublanguage, whose queries require only nite computational resources. This sublanguage is constructed by rst identifying a decidable subcase of string formula safety analysis, even though the general problem is shown to be undecidable. This safe sublanguage is shown to equal the Polynomial-time Hierarchy in its expressive power, and therefore to capture all the string queries occurring in practical situations. The operational counterpart of Alignment Calculus, Alignment Algebra, is developed by replacing the selection operator of relational algebra with one employing multitape nondeterministic nite state automata corresponding to the aforementioned string formulae, and adding an explicit domain symbol. The aforementioned safe sublanguage has also a counterpart in this algebra: expressions, in which all the domain symbol occurrences are restricted by immediately enclosing automata. A nite evaluation strategy is developed for these expressions.
Clinician Perceptions of 4 Hearing Protection Devices

Common equipment in the dental operatory generate cumulative noise at sufficient decibel levels that can damage hearing. Although noise exposure in the dental office is typically intermittent, dentists and other dental care providers have been shown to be at risk of hearing loss. This article provides dentist-generated insight to use when incorporating hearing protection devices during dental practice. Four hearing protection devices (HPDs) were provided to 15 dentists in randomized sequence for evaluation. Perceptions were gathered via questionnaires and analyzed to determine mean ratings and product preferences. Battery requirements of electronic HPDs were also examined. Qualitative assessments of the HPDs evaluated are presented, including dentist preferences and recommendations. There were statistically significant differences (P ≤ 0.0031) among the HPDs in terms of ease of insertion, aesthetics, ability to hear while using a handpiece, and the openness of the ear. Battery life was not found to differ between the 2 electronic HPDs evaluated. Dentists most highly valued ease of hearing, ability to communicate, and comfort while wearing HPDs. The DI-15 High-Fidelity Electronic Earplugs HPD was ranked the highest, followed by Music PRO Electronic Earplugs. Battery longevity for these electronic HPDs was similar under all tested conditions studied. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Dentists should understand the potential ramifications of hearing loss and be aware that there are commercially available hearing protection products that preserve the ability to communicate with patients and coworkers.
Public Attitude towards Mental Illness and Mental Health Services in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background: Stigma associated with mental illness prevents many mentally ill people and their caregivers from seeking help and receiving adequate treatment. People may refuse to seek help from mental health professionals for fear of social reaction and may try to hide the illness, which lead to inaccurate statistical presentation of the real problem in addition to poor health outcomes. Aim: The aim of the current research study was to investigate the attitude of general Saudi population toward mental illness and persons with mental illnesses and explore general Saudi population’ attitude toward mental health services available in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive corelation cross sectional research design was utilized on a sample of 3464 saudi adults recruited from different public areas and voluntarily accept to participate in the study. Data was collected using a survey questionnair consisted of sociodemographic data sheet, questions concerning personal experience with persons with mental illnesses, Attitudes towards mental Illness Scale (Shokeer, 2002) and attitude towards the mental health services questionnair. An explanation about the purpose and the nature of the study was offered for each individual potential participant. Subjects were assured about the confidentiality of the collected data and that it will be only used by the researcher for the purpose of the current study. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Results: More than one third of the participants (36.9%) had a family member diagnosed with mental illness while around two thirds (62.2%) knew any person diagnosed with mental illness other than a family member. 36.5 percent of the participants agreed that they can speak with any person with mental illness and can go in a picnic with people with mental illnesses, 43.5% don’t feel afraid when dealing with persons with mental illnesses, 41.4% don’t refuse to sit with a person with mental illness. More than three quarters of the participants agreed that Saudi government must increase governmental fund spent on mental health hospitals as well as community mental health services, on the other hand only 18.7% agreed that Saudi community has enough mental health services. age of the participants, level of education, having a family member diagnosed with mental illness and knowing any person diagnosed with mental illness were significantly correlated with the attitude towards mental illness and persons with mental illnesses scale score (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Despite the limited empirical evidence the present study infers that one third of the participants have an indecisive attitude toward mental illness and persons with mental illness. This makes it clear that there is still a way to go in accomplishing a positive attitude toward mental illness. Keywords: Public, attitude, mental illness, mental health services, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Second-generation drug-eluting stents versus bare-metal stents in saphenous vein grafts: is the choice more complicated than before?

Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are still commonly used for surgical revascularization of coronary arteries although are related to poor long-term patency rates (1-4). “Full arterial” revascularization in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures, despite related to an improved clinical outcome, is still seldom achieved (5-7).
Application Development from Prototype to Beta : A Case Study of the Application SeafarerCV

When the prototype of a software product is completed and approved, development of a betaready resource is often the natural step toward a future final release. This process contains many steps that may prove vital to the eventual success or downfall of a future product. Technologies must be chosen, design methodologies must be followed, and care must be given to provide the final product with a solid foundation to build upon. This thesis follows such a development process for the development of resources for beta-testing. This process, as well as the human centered design approaches, and the resulting resources, are evaluated compared to relevant theory of the field. In addition, an external team was outsourced development of a mobile application. This thesis gives insight into of some of the considerations, as well as some of the pitfalls, that can occur during a process to take a prototype to a beta-ready stage. It concludes that although the research questions can be answered and the goals of stakeholders were largely met, there is still a significant amount of structured work required to elevate the result to a desired level of quality.
Our results on SF-36 quality of life scale in patients diagnosed with drug allergy

Objective: Drug allergies are drug-hypersensitivity reactions that are assumed to be seen frequently in practice and affect quality of life considerably. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of drugallergy on quality of life. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients, between 18-70 years of age, who referred to our center with drug allergy were evaluated prospectively. During assessment of patients, a questionnaire including socio-demographic characteristics and a Short Form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale were used. Results: Of our patients 76% were women, 24% were males and mean age was 38.56 ± 11.03 years. The physical, social and emotional role components of SF-36 were found to be decreased in all areas in women. When the score dispersion of quality of life subscale according to education level was examined, the “physical function” subscale was found lower only in elementary school and lesser education areas. Conclusion: In present study it was observed that drug allergy had affected the quality of life of both genders; however its influence over women was more prominent.
Modeling Task Prioritization Behaviors in a Time-Pressured Multitasking Environment

Funk (1991)’s Cockpit task management (CTM) theory is structurally consistent with cognitive multitasking models. The following three research questions were made based on the CTM framework: RQ-1) Can reported task priority decision be explained by the reported importance, urgency, performance status, salience, and workload of tasks in a cockpit? ; RQ-2) Can awareness of task-related signals be explained by the reported task priority, task-related signals salience and expectancy, and the number of tasks? ; and RQ3) Can task execution and performance be explained by the reported task priority? A middle fidelity flight simulation study was conducted to test the above research questions. For RQ-1, questionnaire data indicated that reported task importance and reported task salience were significantly related to reported task priority after taking the individual and flight situational differences into account. For RQ-2, surprisingly, reported task priority was not significantly related to the awareness of taskrelated signals. Instead, signal salience and expectancy (bottom-up factors) were significantly related to the awareness of task-related signals. It was difficult for participants to be aware of the task-related signals when the number of tasks increased. For RQ-3, reported task priority was related to task execution: the participants spent more time on the tasks with better task performance. Comparisons of the reported task priority and actual task execution at the frozen moment indicated that the participants executed tasks by combining reported task priority and habitual ANCS hierarchy priority. This result indicates that under high workload environment, a pilot may not be able to notice an abnormal flight instrument indicator problem even when the pilot prioritizes the problem-related task. Both alarms installation and pilots training shall be conducted together because this experiment indicated that only when both right expectancy and salient signal conditions are met, pilots may be able to notice the abnormal signals in a multitasking environment.

Performance evaluation of evapotranspiration estimations in a model of soil water balance

Soil water content models have huge applications from an agronomic point of view and they are usually used as a sub‐model for weather and climate modelling. They are also useful tools for efficient water management irrigation practices. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the performance of two different parameterizations of evapotranspiration when applied to a soil water balance model. Experimental data of a maize crop is used to evaluate model accuracy. The first methodology proposes a parallel resistance arrangement to represent the latent heat fluxes of the soil surface and the leaves in the canopy layer considering the leaf area index (LAI). The second methodology uses the parameterization proposed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), based on the crop coefficient (Kc) and the potential evapotranspiration obtained from the Penman–Monteith equation. The crop was divided into five plots with different irrigation systems according to their phenological stages. The model suitably predicts daily soil water content in five different irrigation systems. Predictions of soil water content using the LAI or Kc methodology tend to overestimate observations. In addition, the model has better predictions using the LAI methodology than the Kc methodology. The root mean square error and the determination coefficient were 0.059 and 0.92, respectively, with the LAI methodology and 0.063 and 0.87, respectively, using the Kc methodology.

Validité du taxon Homo heidelbergensis Schoetensack, 1908

La decouverte de nouveaux fossiles au Pleistocene moyen a entraine la revision de l’espece Homo heidelbergensis. La morphologie particuliere de la mandibule de Mauer (holotype de l’espece) et l’integration de nombreux fossiles ne presentant pas de mandibule dans le taxon ne permettent pas l’emergence d’un consensus: une espece afro-europeenne ancetre des Homo sapiens et des Neandertaliens, ou un taxon europeen ancetre des Neandertaliens. Je teste la validite de l’espece a l’aide de deux approches: une analyse morphologique (methode usuelle d’identification d’especes) et une analyse par morphometrie geometrique sur la mandibule, la face et la calvaria de 134 fossiles du Pleistocene et de 128 Hommes actuels. 139 caracteres (mandibule: 39, face: 35, calvaria: 65) ont ete analyses grâce a une analyse de morphologie comparee et a une analyse phenetique pour obtenir des groupes bases sur les similarites entre specimens. Une seconde analyse par morphometrie geometrique basee sur 30 points reperes (mandibule: 8, face: 8, calvaria: 14) me permet d’etudier la structure geometrique des specimens. Les resultats des analyses morphologiques soutiennent Homo heidelbergensis en tant que taxon valide. Il peut etre differencie des autres Homo sp. Du Pleistocene et defini par une liste de traits morphologiques. Leur presence chez des fossiles Africains et Europeens supporte l’hypothese d’un taxon afro-europeen ancetre des Neandertaliens et des Homo sapiens. L’analyse par morphometrie geometrique montre que la structure geometrique des specimens du taxon est proche de celle de la plupart des autres Homo sp. Du Pleistocene. Je propose une revision de la diagnose d’Homo heidelbergensis Schoetensack, 1908.
