Optimization of the quantity of protein components in the high-protein instant porridge

Different types of instant porridges have become a popular choice for breakfast, and it is known that breakfast is an important meal for daily appetite control. On our market there is porridge of uniform composition based on cereals, primarily oats. However, high-protein porridge is not available, which is a significant deficiency in the assortment of these products. In addition, insufficient intake of quality protein remains a dietary problem, particularly among children and the elderly, where diets consist mainly of cereals. Plant proteins in combination with cereals could be used to produce high protein instant porridge. In this study, proteins from legumes such as soybean and pea, specifically soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, and pea protein isolate were applied. Protein preparations were added to the main mixture composed of the buckwheat and corn extrudate and other additional ingredients. The protein preparations were added at three different levels: soy protein concentrate at 0, 7.5 and 15% (w/w main mixture basis) and soy protein isolate and pea protein isolate at 0, 15 and 30% (w/w main mixture bases), with the objective of optimizing the composition of the high-protein instant porridge. The aim of optimization was to maximize the protein content and overall acceptability. The optimal doses of protein preparations were determined using the method of desirability function and it was found that the optimized dose for the soy protein concentrate was 1.43 g/100 g, soy protein isolate 21.07 g/100 g and pea protein isolate 14.83 g/100 g. The prediction value for protein content was 24.77 %/DM and overall acceptability 4.09. The obtained experimental values were close to the prediction values: 24.32 %/DM for protein content and 4.41 for overall acceptability. The protein content of the formulated porridge was 24.32 %/DM, which is more than twice as high as that in the oat porridge present on the market. Based on standard nutritional values, the newly formulated high-protein instant porridge could be recommended as appropriate breakfast meal for adults.
De derde golf van psychotherapie bij depressie: Noodzakelijke vernieuwing of nieuwe kleren van de keizer?

Samenvatting In deze bijdrage wordt de opkomst van nieuwe (zogenaamde derde generatie) therapievormen besproken en van kritische kanttekeningen voorzien. De auteurs geven aan dat nieuwe therapieen weliswaar veel aandacht krijgen op congressen, via workshops en in de literatuur, maar dat hun empirische onderbouwing beduidend minder overtuigend is. Daarbij komt dat het om methodologische redenen nauwelijks mogelijk is om aan te tonen dat de nieuwe therapieen effectiever zijn dat de meer traditionale cognitieve en gedragsmatige benaderingen. De auteurs pleiten voor het inzetten op onderzoek naar therapieen (met name voordepressie) die inmiddels hun waarde hebben bewezen.
An Overview of QT Interval Assessment in Safety Pharmacology

Medicinal products that prolong cardiac repolarization unintentionally, as assessed in terms of prolongation of the QT interval of the electrocardiogram, may trigger a potentially fatal arrhythmia called torsade de pointe (TDP). This lethal risk necessitates a robust preclinical evaluation before engaging in clinical trials. There are two different and complementary approaches to assess the potential of drugs to cause QT interval prolongation. The in vivo approach provides information on the potential of the compound to prolong the QT interval under near‐physiological conditions. It is mostly descriptive and not explanatory in terms of mechanisms of action. The in vitro approach provides much more mechanistic information, but is far removed from the clinical situation. Both approaches appear to possess reasonable predictive value, but the results obtained may largely depend on the experimental conditions used. This unit describes and presents an analytic strategy aimed at understanding the problems associated with this cardiovascular risk.

Diseño, implementación y evaluación de un sistema de conteo de personas basado en cámaras de tiempo de vuelo

The aim of this work is the design, implementation and evaluation of a robust people detection algorithm, using only depth images acquired from an overhead time of flight (ToF) camera. In order to detect people, and discriminate them from other elements in the scene (such as objects or animals), there have been analyzed several descriptors as well as classificators. The implemented algorithm uses a feature vector based on the density of measurements at different height values, and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classificator. The evaluation of the algorithm has been carried out using a depth images dataset previously labeled, obtaining successful results.
Biologika-Therapien in Österreich. Daten aus dem Österreichischen Biologika-Register BioReg

Zusammenfassung In Österreich wurde vergleichsweise spät im Jahre 2009, das „Biologikaregister für entzündlich rheumatische Erkrankungen e. V. “, kurz BioReg, gegründet, mit den auch in anderen Ländern verfolgten Zielen, jene PatientInnen, die mit Biologika behandelt werden, hinsichtlich Tolerabilität und Effektivität zu dokumentieren. Aus dem Vereinsmodell ergibt sich die Freiwilligkeit der Teilnahme von Verschreibern, vergleichbar dem deutschen RABBIT Register. Mit Ende Mai 2017 waren insgesamt 2132 PatientInnen in die Datenbank eingeschlossen, davon waren 1157 PatientInnen mit Rheumatoider Arthritis (RA), 497 mit Spondylitis ankylosans (SpA), 401 mit Arthritis psoriatica (PsA) und 77 PatientInnen mit sonstigen rheumatischen Erkrankungen (SERE). Österreichs Rheumatologen initiieren – im Vergleich zu europäischen Kollegen – eine bDMARD-Therapie bereits bei RA Patienten mit hoch moderater Krankheitsaktivität. Der Behinderungsgrad der Patienten unter Biologika-Therapie kann insgesamt niedrig gehalten werden, was natürlich auch für den Erhalt der Berufsfähigkeit von Bedeutung ist. Außergewöhnliche Nebenwirkungen wurden bisher nicht beobachtet, die in BioReg aufgetretenen Nebenwirkungen entsprechen den bereits aus Studien bekannten. Die Häufigkeit der Anwendung der einzelnen Präparate ist durchaus mit der in Deutschland vergleichbar, auch die Retentionsraten sind nicht wesentlich unterschiedlich. Register, wie auch BioReg, zeigen den „heimlichen“ Normalfall der Behandlung von Patientinnen und Patienten mit entzündlich rheumatischen Erkrankungen und liefern damit einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Qualitätssicherung.
Design Guidelines and Design Recommendations of Multi-Touch Interfaces for Elders

The usage of multi-touch interfaces on a tabletop device, has been very explored for elder users in several domains. This interaction technique is an alternative to reducing the obstacles that older adults face in the use of computer systems, e.g., handling of peripherals. Many design guidelines are proposed in the literature for a wide range of products and systems for elders, e.g. websites, TV user interfaces. However, there is a lack of set of design guidelines and design recommendations of multi-touch interfaces that matches elder's needs. This paper presents a set of design guidelines and design recommendations distilled and extracted from most relevant works on design of multi-touch interfaces for elders available in the literature. The results are a set of design guidelines, useful for designers, application developers, usability specialists and researchers.
Answering Why and Why Not Questions in Ubiquitous Computing

Users often find it hard to understand and control the behavior of a Ubicomp system. This gives rise to usability problems and can lead to loss of user trust, which may hamper the acceptance of these systems. We are extending an existing Ubicomp framework to allow users to pose why and why not questions about its behavior. Initial experiments suggest that these questions are easy to use and could help users in understanding how Ubicomp systems work.
Concurrentie tussen mantelzorg en betaald werk

De overheid wil graag dat burgers meer zorg verlenen aan hulpbehoevende naasten. Denk aan het helpen van een ouder op leeftijd, of het verzorgen van een langdurig zieke partner. Tegelijkertijd streeft zij ook naar een grotere arbeidsdeelname. Maar zijn een betaalde baan en mantelzorg wel altijd te combineren? Of beconcurreren beide taken elkaar? Dit rapport geeft meer inzicht in deze relatie. Het laat zien of het percentage werkenden dat naasten helpt de afgelopen jaren gestegen is, zoals de overheid nastreeft. Het laat ook zien of mensen die met mantelzorg beginnen hun arbeidsduur verminderen, en wat de gevolgen zijn voor hun gezondheid en ziekteverzuim. De gegevens komen uit een langlopend onderzoek van het SCP, waarin zo’n 3000-4000 werkenden en niet-werkenden worden gevolgd.
Prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis infection in infertile women attending fertility clinics in Benin city, Nigeria: A public health concern

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to deduce the prevalence of Chlamydia infection amongst infertile women attending fertility clinics in Benin City, Nigeria. Fifty infertile women with either primary or secondary infertility and with their ages ranging from 24 to 51 years were enrolled for this study. The serum of each patient was screened for Chlamydia antibodies with the enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) index of 0.90 or less was reported as seronegative for IgG antibody, while IgG index of 1.00 or greater were positive for IgG antibody. Findings in the present study revealed that 24 % to 52 % of the patients that attend the fertility clinics in Benin City, Nigeria were most likely to be infected with Chlamydia; with the primary infertile patients accounting for 32 % of the cases and secondary infertile patients for 68 % of the cases. Prevalence of Chlamydia infection was also found to be quite high amongst women aged between 36 and 40 years old. Since lack of symptoms often makes the clinical diagnosis of Chlamydia infection somewhat difficult, thus increasing the prevalence of this disease; routine screening is recommended to enable early therapeutic interventions of positive cases.
Critical care nursing practice and education in Rwanda

Critical care nursing practice and education in Rwanda is a young specialty. There are very few critical care nurses practising in either hospital or academic settings, and typically nurses taking care of critically ill patients receive only a brief period of informal education prior to practising. Intensive care units are found predominantly in the state tertiary hospitals, located primarily in Kigali city. The purpose of this article is to describe the current state of critical care nursing in Rwanda, including challenges and opportunities faced by these nurses, as well as recent initiatives under way in an attempt to address these difficulties. This article is based on a review of the published and grey literature relevant to the healthcare system and the disease profile of Rwanda, as well as the evolution of critical care nursing in Rwanda. In addition, the experience of the first author in critical nursing in Rwanda helped to guide the development of the article.
The Ventricular Function of the “Athlete´S Heart”. Part I: Systolic Function

The knowledge of the so-called “athlete’s heart”has been linked to the application of diagnostic techniques in cardiology. Perhaps, it is necessary to keep in mind that the “athlete’s heart” is a physiologically “healthy” heart. The figure 1 shows the parameters that determine the mean arterial pressure. Physical exercise is the only physiological circumstance that precedes the regional metabolic demand to the control of the average blood pressure.
Concurrent Persistent Cryptococcosis and Mycobacterium avium Complex Infections in a Patient With Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Background: Fungal infections are known for their chronicity and latency and are difficult to eradicate. The pathophysiology of these invading pathogens and the resulting alteration of the immune system are not fully understood. Fungal meningitis is associated with significant rates of morbidity and mortality, especially among immunocompromised patients. Cryptococcosis, an infection secondary to the fungus Cryptococcus, is one of the most important opportunistic infections among patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and expediting treatment is crucial. Case Report: We report the case of a 28-year-old male with HIV who had a simultaneous co-infection with cryptococcal meningitis and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). The patient required a 2-week induction phase of antifungal medication with amphotericin B and flucytosine. Despite aggressive initial therapy and the patient's significant clinical improvement, his radiologic findings and lumbar puncture showed persistent cryptococcal infection. Conclusion: Concurrent infection with cryptococcosis and MAC is extremely rare even in immunosuppressed patients. In our case, the concurrent infection was associated with a prolonged course of therapy during the induction phase for cryptococcosis.
Élaboration et caractérisation de fibres mixtes Alginate / Chitosane

Dans ces travaux de recherche, la preparation de fibres d'alginate de calcium revetues de chitosane par un procede de filage par mouillage et la caracterisation de ces fibres dont leur activite antibacterienne sont presentees. Un metier a filer a l'echelle pilote a ete concu et developpe au cours de ces travaux de these pour l'elaboration de fibres d'alginate de calcium. Ces dernieres, prealablement fabriquees, sont immergees dans une solution d'acetate de chitosane. Trois methodes de coagulation de l'enduit de chitosane ont ete explores dont deux consistent en l'immersion des fibres dans un bain neutralisant : une solution de dihydroxyde de calcium ou une solution d'hydroxyde de potassium. La derniere methode consistait a neutraliser le chitosane par sechage sous air chaud souffle. Une caracterisation structurelle, mecanique et d'absorption des fibres, ainsi qu'un dosage du chitosane revetu ont ete realises. De plus, une evaluation antibacterienne a ete accomplie par une methode de comptage des UFC (Unite Formant Colonie) apres 6 h d'incubation a 37 °C. L'incorporation de chitosane aux fibres d'alginate de calcium apporte une activite antibacterienne contre Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli et divers Staphylococcus aureus tels que MSSA (Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus), CA-MRSA (Community Associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) et HA-MRSA (Healthcare Associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Ces fibres revetues sont alors des candidats de choix pour l'elaboration de tissus destines a la cicatrisation des plaies. Developper des compresses avec les proprietes hemostatiques et cicatrisantes de l'alginate de calcium combinees aux proprietes antibacteriennes du chitosane peut etre envisage pour lutter contre les infections et plus particulierement les maladies nosocomiales
The Impact of Distributed Energy Resources on the Reliability of Smart Distribution System

The integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in power systems can provide the opportunity to supply electricity to customers more efficiently and effectively. The DER includes Distributed Generation (DG) and Demand Side Management (DSM). In a smart grid incorporating automated control and distributed energy systems an effective DSM can alleviate the peak load and shift part of the demand to off-peak hours. The aim of this research is to assess the impact of the DG and the DSM on reliability of smart distribution system by analyzing different case studies. Roy Billinton test system RBTS Bus2 is used to validate case studies which are performed as a part of this paper. For more practical considerations a modification of the RBTS Bus2 model is developed to assess the system reliability.
Prevalence of syndesmosis injuries associated with acute ligamentous injuries on magnetic resonance imaging

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of inferior tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries in patients with acute lateral ligament injuries found on complementary nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed in a diagnostic imaging clinic. Methods: The images and medical reports of 429 ankle MRI examinations were evaluated from March to December 2017. After applying the exclusion criteria, 346 examinations were eliminated. Thus, a total of 93 MRI scans compatible with acute ankle ligament injuries were examined for associated syndesmosis injury. Results: The presence of syndesmosis injury was observed in 8 patients (8.6%). In all individuals with syndesmosis injuries, the anterior fibulotalar ligament (AFTL) and the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) were affected. The most common lesion in this type of injury was partial AFTL lesion (6 cases), followed by partial AITFL lesion (5 cases). Of the 93 MRI results evaluated, the lateral complex ligament most commonly affected was the AFTL, with 91 lesions, partial and total, which were present in 97.85% of the MRI examinations. Partial AFTL lesions were observed in 49 patients (52.68%), representing the most common lesion, and total AFTL lesions were observed in 42 patients (45.16%). Conclusion: No increase was found in the prevalence of syndesmosis injuries associated with acute ligamentous injuries evaluated by MRI.

A Comprehensive Survey on Cooperative Relaying and Jamming Strategies for Physical Layer Security

Physical layer security (PLS) has been extensively explored as an alternative to conventional cryptographic schemes for securing wireless links. Many studies have shown that the cooperation between the legitimate nodes of a network can significantly enhance their secret communications performance, relative to the noncooperative case. Motivated by the importance of this class of PLS systems, this paper provides a comprehensive survey of the recent works on cooperative relaying and jamming techniques for securing wireless transmissions against eavesdropping nodes, which attempt to intercept the transmissions. First, it provides a in-depth overview of various secure relaying strategies and schemes. Next, a review of recently proposed solutions for cooperative jamming techniques is provided with an emphasis on power allocation and beamforming techniques. Then, the latest developments in hybrid techniques, which use both cooperative relaying and jamming, are elaborated. Finally, several key challenges in the domain of cooperative security are presented along with an extensive discussion on the applications of cooperative security in key enablers for 5G communications, such as nonorthogonal multiple access, device-to-device communications, and massive multiple-input multiple-output systems.
