El objetivo de esta revision bibliografica fue identificar los enfoques teoricos y las investigaciones relacionadas con la alimentacion en adolescentes diagnosticadas con sindrome de ovario poliquistico. La busqueda se desarrollo a traves de Google Scholar, Repositorios y Dspace, para lo que se consideraron dos variables; alimentacion y sindrome de ovario poliquistico. Los trabajos de tesis, articulos cientificos y libros presentaron informacion actualizada y confiable que contribuye significativamente a esta revision, asi como a estudios futuros. Para seleccionar los mejores estudios, el investigador reviso el nombre de los autores y la fecha; ademas, se leyeron y analizaron los resumenes, metodologia, resultados y recomendaciones de cada estudio con la finalidad de asegurar su validez y relevancia. De acuerdo a los datos recopilados, las dos formas principales en las que la dieta afecta el sindrome de ovario poliquistico son el control de peso y la resistencia a la insulina. El equipo de Proncera Therapeutics recomienda tres dietas para ayudar a las pacientes a controlar los sintomas de este sindrome, estas son: dieta de bajo indice glucemico, dieta antiinflamatoria y una dieta para detener la hipertension. Adicionalmente, sugieren a los pacientes que eviten los alimentos poco saludables, como los carbohidratos refinados, incluidos los pasteles, el pan blanco, los alimentos fritos, las bebidas gaseosas y energeticas, las carnes procesadas o rojas y las grasas solidas como la margarina. En conclusion, aunque las adolescentes no consideran prioritario seguir una dieta estricta, deben ser conscientes de la importancia de tener un estilo de vida saludable mediante la implementacion de un programa nutricional bien estructurado que seguramente contribuira a mejorar los sintomas del sindrome.
Tropical Pacific Surface Wind Energy Spectra and Coherence: Basinwide Observations and Their Observing System Implications

The tropical Pacific moored-buoy array spacing was based on wind coherence scales observed from low-lying islands in the western-central tropical Pacific. Since the array was deployed across the full basin in the mid-1990s, winds from the array have proven critical to accurately monitoring for decadal-scale changes in tropical Pacific winds and identifying spurious trends in wind analysis products used to monitor for long-term change. The array observations have also greatly advanced our ability to diagnostically model (hindcast) and thereby better understand the observed development of central Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly development associated with El Niño and La Niña events, although the eastern equatorial Pacific is not yet accurately hindcast. The original array-design assumptions that the statistics calculated from the western-central Pacific island records are representative of open-ocean conditions and other regions of the tropical Pacific have not been thoroughly reexamined. We revisit these assumptions using the basinwide wind observations provided by the array and find that key wind statistics change across the tropical Pacific basin in ways that could not be determined from the original island wind study. The island results provided a best-case answer for mooring zonal spacing with minimally redundant coherence between adjacent buoys. Buoy-observed meridional coherence scales are longer than determined from the islands. Enhanced zonal sampling east of 140°W and west of 180° is needed to obtain minimal redundancy (optimal spacing). Reduced meridional sampling could still yield minimal redundancy for wind and wind stress fields over the ocean waveguide.
Characterization of rainfall events corresponding to forecasted conditions of potential hydrogeological risk

The Italian territory has a high exposure to natural risks including floods and landslides. An early warning system run by the Department for Civil Protection, both at national and regional level, operates to forecasted conditions of potential hydrogeological risk on the basis of forecasted meteorological conditions. The aim of the present paper is to study the relationship between the level of alert issued by the Civil Protection and the characteristics of the associated rainfall events. The case study is a particular area of the Campania region, highly prone to hydrogeological risk. A database of 138 warnings issued during the period 2018-2019 has been analyzed. The warnings were classified using analytical and graphical methods with various criteria. The duration, total rainfall, peak intensity, return period, n-index, BSC-index were used. The results show that there is a clear correlation between the severity of the warnings and the cumulative, peak intensity and the structure of precipitation. No relationship has instead been found between the severity of the warnings and the severity of the rainfall event which, besides the limitation of the case study with a small sample of analyzed events, can be an indication of changing climate conditions.
Audit of forced care in California fuels discussion of flaws in law

An audit examining implementation of California's law governing the provision of involuntary mental health treatment has found several flaws in the system of care for persons with serious mental illness However, the audit itself is coming under some criticism as well, for not taking a deep enough dive into contributing issues such as inadequate state funding and outdated standards to determine the need for involuntary treatment
“Gender Differences” and health: A research conducted on the users of the inOltre Service

La ricerca che presentiamo in questo articolo parte dal contributo dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanita (OMS) secondo cui le “patologie psichiche” (depressione maggiore, ansia, attacchi di panico, disturbo post-traumatico da stress, disturbi del comportamento alimentare) sarebbero prevalenti tra le donne nella popolazione generale ed in quella dei Servizi Sanitari. Il presente lavoro, dunque, si inserisce all’interno di una letteratura che finora ha messo in luce: (1) l’esistenza di fattori che determinerebbero la salute e la malattia per uomini e donne, oltre che differenze di genere rispetto a questi fattori e (2) proposte teoriche, modalita di intervento e strumenti operativi in un’ottica di prevenzione, diagnosi e/o terapia. Per osservare le cosiddette differenze di genere, abbiamo considerato l’utenza che si rivolge a un servizio pubblico per la gestione di situazioni configurate come “di emergenza”/”crisi” - il Servizio inOltre della Regione Veneto - per il periodo dal 30/09/18 al 30/09/19. I dati raccolti e osservati sono stati poi impiegati per poter riflettere – in un’ottica di salute - su che tipo di interventi gli operatori psicologi possono erogare e, piu in generale, sulla gestione dei Servizi in materia di salute pubblica.
A nonlinear optimal control approach for the autonomous octorotor

The article proposes a nonlinear optimal control approach for the model of the autonomous octorotor. This aerial drone has improved load transport capability due to being actuated by eight rotors. The dynamic model of the octorotor undergoes approximate linearization with the use of Taylor series expansion around a temporary operating point which is recomputed at each iteration of the control method. For the approximately linearized model an H‐infinity feedback controller is designed. The linearization procedure relies on the computation of the Jacobian matrices of the state‐space model of the octorotor. The proposed control method stands for the solution of the optimal control problem for the nonlinear and multivariable dynamics of this aerial drone, under model uncertainties, and external perturbations. For the computation of the controller's feedback gains an algebraic Riccati equation is solved at each time‐step of the control method. The new nonlinear optimal control approach achieves fast and accurate tracking for all state variables of the octorotor, under moderate variations of the control inputs. The stability properties of the control scheme are proven through Lyapunov analysis. It can be noted that: (1) the novelty/innovation of this research work is in presenting a novel and genuine nonlinear optimal control method for the octocopter's model, (2) the significance of the presented method is in achieving fast and accurate tracking of reference setpoints for the octocopter under moderate variations of the control inputs. By minimizing energy consumption by the actuators of the UAV its autonomy and operational capacity is improved, (3) the intellectual contribution of the article is in solving the nonlinear optimal control problem for the octocopter in an effective, yet computationally efficient manner.

Clinical Efficiency Analysis of Share Decision Making in the Atrial Fibrillation Patients

Background : Atrial Fibrillation (AF) prevalence rate is about 2%-3% worldwide. The risk of stroke in patients with AF is 4 -5 times than normal. It’s important to take oral anticoagulant therapies to prevent stroke. Aims: The purpose of this study was to estimate whether share decision making (SDM) could lower the anxiety and improve the intension of medical decision or not. Methods: This was one-group pretest-posttest study design. The study contained 21 patients who had hospitalized following diagnosis and treatment of AF pectoris in Cardiology in the Veterans General Hospital. After using health education, patient filled out the questionnaire. TREND guideline has been adhered to in the reporting of this study. Results: The anxiety level decrease after the SDM from 2.8 to 1.2 points ( p -value<0.05) and the rate of the intension to choose medication increase from 57% to 76%. The promote factors are "After patient understand the disease and treatment, they are ready for consultation (83%)". Medical staff believes that the relevant factors of "System-related difficulties" are "Insufficient time to talk with patient (45%)". Conclusion: Both medical staff and patients have positive feedback and statistically significant differences in affecting the patient's medical willingness and reducing patient anxiety in SDM. It is important to help patients to think and evaluate carefully through SDM and determine the most appropriate treatment.
Assessment of alerting, orienting, and executive control in persons with aphasia using the Attention Network Test

ABSTRACT Background Attention deficits frequently accompany language impairments in aphasia. Most research on attention in aphasia focuses on selective attention measured by executive control tasks such as the color-word Stroop or Erickson flanker. This is despite ample evidence in neurotypical adults indicating the existence of multiple, distinct attention subtypes. Thus, there is a disconnect between the documented attention impairments in persons with aphasia (PWA) and the literature in neurotypical adults indicating that multiple attention components independently modulate an individual’s interactions with the world. Aims This study aimed to use the well-studied Attention Network Test (ANT) to quantify three subtypes of attention (alerting, orienting, and executive control) in PWA and matched controls. It was hypothesized that significant effects of alerting, orienting, and executive control would be observed in both groups; however, the effects would be reduced in PWA compared to the neurotypical controls. It was additionally expected that alerting, orienting, and executive control would not be correlated with one another in either group. Methods & Procedures Twenty-two PWA along with 20 age, gender, and education-matched controls completed the ANT. Briefly, the ANT consists of a cued-flanker task where the cues provide information about when and where the flanker executive control task will be presented. The combination of cues and flanker targets embedded within the ANT provides measures of alerting, orienting, and executive control. Participants are expected to respond faster and more accurately to the flanker task when cued as to when and where the task will be presented. Outcomes & Results In line with previous work, the control group demonstrated significant effects of alerting, orienting, and executive control. However, we only find significant orienting and executive control effects in the aphasia group. Between-group differences were only identified within orienting attention: the control group benefitted more from the orienting cue than the aphasia group. Additionally, alerting, orienting, and executive control were not correlated in the control group, yet, a relationship between orienting and executive control was observed in the aphasia group. Conclusions Overall, our findings demonstrate that attention differs between PWA and controls, and that the ANT may provide a more complete picture of attention in aphasia; this may be particularly important when characterizing the relationship between attention and language in aphasia.
Pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their parents’ and teachers’ attitudes towards mathematics

Mathematics is integral to the successful study of accounting. The purpose of the study was to determine accounting students’ perceptions of attitudes towards mathematics among their parents and teachers. The setting for this study is a higher education institution (HEI) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This study included a convenience sample (quantitative) of 255 pre-service accounting teachers from an HEI in South Africa, and a purposive sample (qualitative) of 18 students. Data collection was through the Fennema–Sherman Mathematics mother’s, father’s and teacher’s attitude scales, and an interview schedule designed by the researcher. A sequential explanatory design and sampling were employed. Data were analysed using SPSS for quantitative data, transcribed and analysed qualitatively for interviews. The study revealed that the Fennema–Sherman Mathematics mother’s, father’s and teacher’s attitude scales scores are strongly positive towards mathematics. The out-of-home influences, namely, teachers and friends, were ranked higher than home influences, for example, mother, father and siblings. There are different degrees of support from the home. More students ‘strongly agreed’ that the support came from school, specifically from teachers and peers and friends. Teachers and friends as a result occupy a key role in developing positive attitudes towards mathematics. In the South African context, teachers and friends and peers occupy a more significant role in developing positive attitudes towards mathematics than do parents and siblings. Should the instrument be used again, it would be appropriate for the South African environment to deliberate on support from family members, rather than simply from mother and father.
The mechanisms of action of Botulinum Toxin type A in nociceptive and neuropathic pathways in Cancer Pain.

BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is widely employed for cosmetic purposes and in the treatment of certain diseases such as strabismus, hemifacial spasm and focal dystonia among others. BoNT-A effect mainly acts at the muscular level by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at presynaptic levels consequently blocking the action potential in the neuromuscular junction. Despite the great progress in approval and pharmaceutical usage, improvement in displacing BoNT-A to other pathologies has remained short. Patients under diagnosis of several types of cancer experience pain in a myriad of ways; it can be experienced as hyperalgesia or allodynia, and the severity of the pain depends, in some degree, on the place that the tumor is located. Pain relief in patients diagnosed with cancer is not always optimal, and as the disease progresses, transition to more aggressive drugs, like opioids is sometimes unavoidable. In recent years BoNT-A employment in cancer has been explored, as well as an antinociceptive drug; experiments in neuropathic, inflammatory and acute pain have been carried out in animal models and humans. Although its mechanism has not been fully cleared evidence has shown that BoNT-A inhibits the secretion of pain mediators (substance P, Glutamate, and calcitonin gene related protein) from the nerve endings and dorsal root ganglion, impacting directly on the nociceptive transmission through the anterolateral and trigeminothalamic systems. AIM Collect available literature regarding molecular, physiological and neurobiological evidence of the BoNT-A in cancer patients suffering from acute, neuropathic and inflammatory pain in order to identify possible mechanisms of action in which the BoNT-A could impact positively in pain treatment. CONCLUSION BoNT-A could be an important neo-adjuvant and coadjuvant in the treatment of several types of cancer, diminish pro-tumor activity and secondary pain.

Design of an Enhanced Web Archiving System for Preserving Content Integrity with Blockchain

A Web archive system is a traditional subject for preserving web content for the future and the importance is getting more significant due to the explosive growth of web content. The reference model for an open archival information system (OAIS) has been advising guidance for a long-term archiving system and most organizations that archive web content follow this guidance. In addition, the web archive (WARC) ISO standard is for web content archiving. However, there is no way to secure content integrity, and it is hard to identify the original. Because of limitations, a web archive system has a weakness against the dispute of content integrity. In this paper, we proposed the blockchain linked (BCLinked) web archiving system, which uses blockchain technology and an extended WARC field to keep a web content integrity metadata into a blockchain. Furthermore, we designed the BCLinked web archiving system, and we confirmed the proposed system secures content integrity through the experiment.
Early acquisition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Mexican children with cystic fibrosis

INTRODUCTION: Chronic infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is associated with a greater deterioration of pulmonary function, increase in hospitalizations and shorter survival in patients with cystic fibrosis. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the age of first detection of P. aeruginosa, effectiveness of the eradication treatment and prevalence of other pathogens in airway cultures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cohort of patients with CF diagnosed within first year of life, who had follow-up at University Hospital was studied. Respiratory cultures were obtained quarterly. Patients with infection by P. aeruginosa received eradication treatment. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients were included. During follow-up, 608 cultures were performed. In 34.7%, normal flora was detected, S. aureus 32.8%, P. aeruginosa 20.4%. Median age at first positive culture was 9 months. Eradication was achieved in 81.8%. CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of patients with cystic fibrosis, the acquisition of P. aeruginosa is earlier than in other groups reported in literature.
Inscription of surface waveguides in glass by femtosecond laser writing for enhanced evanescent wave overlap

Near-surface optical waveguides were fabricated in alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass (Eagle2000), by femtosecond laser direct writing, using two distinct approaches. First, the capability of directly inscribing optical waveguides close to the surface was tested, and then, compared to the adoption of post writing wet etching to bring to the surface waveguides inscribed at greater depths. Laser ablation was found to limit the minimum surface to core center distance to 6.5 µm in the first method, with anisotropic wet etching limiting the latter to 3 µm without any surface deformation; smaller separations can be achieved at the cost of the planar surface topography. Furthermore, the waveguide’s cross-section was seen to vary for laser inscription nearing the surface, observations that were also corroborated by its distinct guiding characteristics when compared to the adoption of post writing wet etching. The spectral analysis (in the 500–1700 nm range) also evidenced an increase in insertion loss for longer wavelengths and smaller surface to core center separations, caused, most likely, by coupling loss due to the interaction between the propagating mode and the surface. Different lengths of waveguide exposed to the surface were also tested, revealing that scattering loss due to surface roughness is not an issue at the centimeter scale.
Bit Error Rate Analysis for FH/MFSK System with Follower Jamming

At present, methods of bit error rate (BER) analysis for frequency-hopping (FH) system can only solve the problem of barrage jamming, but these are no comprehensive means to follower jamming (FJ). This paper proposes a method of BER analysis with FJ based on frequency hopping M-ary frequency-shift keying (FH/MFSK) system. Through the analysis of the mechanism of FH/MFSK system, assuming the wireless channel is an AWGN channel, the BER formulas for different jamming types are derived, respectively, from the point of one-dimensional probability density function of the output signal of the envelope detector, while judgment principle of envelope detecting method is used. Results show that the BER of multiple FH/MFSK system with FJ is relatively lower. In the worst case of FJ, the BER of FH/4FSK system and FH/8FSK system is reduced by 2 dB and 3 dB, respectively, compared with that of FH/2FSK system. The method of BER analysis proposed provides an effective means to research the BER with FJ in depth.
