Nonketotic Hyperglycemic Hemichorea Hemiballism as the Debut of Diabetes in An 80-Year-Old Woman: Case Report

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that constitutes one of the most serious public health problems worldwide. With the advent of new drugs and advances in the understanding of its etiopathogenesis, the quality of life of patients suffering diabetes mellitus has been improved. However, the large number of complications to which patients are exposed remains a challenge for health professionals, being the most frequent from cardiovascular nature, renal, retinal, peripheral nervous system and even increasing the risk of mortality. Not much has been documented about the consequent relationship of movement disorders as a result of metabolic alterations, although cases of glucotoxicity and hyperkinetic disorders such as chorea and ballism have been described. In the present article we describe the case of an 80-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus in poor metabolic control, associated with hemichorea and ballism.
RepliCueAuth: Validating the Use of a Lab-Based Virtual Reality Setup for Evaluating Authentication Systems

Evaluating novel authentication systems is often costly and time-consuming. In this work, we assess the suitability of using Virtual Reality (VR) to evaluate the usability and security of real-world authentication systems. To this end, we conducted a replication study and built a virtual replica of CueAuth [52], a recently introduced authentication scheme, and report on results from: (1) a lab-based in-VR usability study (N=20) evaluating user performance; (2) an online security study (N=22) evaluating system’s observation resistance through virtual avatars; and (3) a comparison between our results and those previously reported in the real-world evaluation. Our analysis indicates that VR can serve as a suitable test-bed for human-centred evaluations of real-world authentication schemes, but the used VR technology can have an impact on the evaluation. Our work is a first step towards augmenting the design and evaluation spectrum of authentication systems and offers ground work for more research to follow.

Coordination in homogeneous and heterogeneous teams

We study markers of social cognition and team interaction across two different problem-solving tasks and domains: a controlled bridge design task and a highly dynamic military planning task. Team interactions are measured considering the task dynamic. We identify cross-domain indicators of coordination and connect them to performance. In the design task, we observed coordinated behavior in solution space exploration and reduction. In the planning task, we observed coordinated movement but less elaborate strategies. While coordination was observed through similarity in designs in the first task, it was a more complex phenomenon in the second where complementarity rather than similarity was found.
THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN AUDIT QUALITY AND EARNINGS MANAGEMENT BY LISTED FIRMS IN NIGERIA

This study examines the association between audit quality and earnings management by listed firms in Nigeria. The study measures audit quality by audit firm size and earnings management by the absolute abnormal discretionary accruals using the modified Jones model. The study was carried out in two parts, the first part is the comparative study using independent sample t-test and the Wilcoxon signed ranked test. The second part is the multivariate analysis where the association between audit quality and earnings management was examined. Based on our analysis, we found that auditor size has restrained earnings management but the decrease is not statistically significant. The implication of this finding is that users should not blindly assume that high audit quality proxy by the big 4 auditor is a symbol of earnings quality.
A wideband dielectric resonator antenna with switchable diversity patterns

Abstract In this paper, a reduced-size dielectric resonator antenna with switchable diversity patterns is proposed. Ring- and linear-shaped slots are etched in the ground plane of the antenna so as to generate two modes $TE_{\delta 11}^x$ and $TE_{\delta 12}^x$ at a center frequency of 19 GHz. Moreover, two groups of PIN diodes are integrated into these slots to short one group of slots, and let the other group generates the required mode. Thus, the antenna is able to generate two switchable patterns with an envelope correlation coefficient of 0.4. Furthermore, the antenna size is reduced to half of its original size by placing a copper sheet over certain plane of the antenna structure. The antenna achieves wide bandwidths of 17.6–20.9 GHz (17.1$\percnt $) and 18.3–21.6 GHz (13.8$\percnt $) in cases of exciting $TE_{\delta 11}^x$ and $TE_{\delta 12}^x$ modes, respectively. The antenna also attainsa high gain of 7.1 and 3.2 dB at the center frequency.
Natural or man-made fibers the question of our health

Materials manufactured from natural fibers and materials used in textiles, are in all aspects people friendly. They are environmentally friendly and guarantee optimal comfort when worn. From the beginning of mankind they protected man against the unfavorable elements of the environment providing perfect comfort. Synthetic fibers, which were introduced during the 20th century are easier to maintain and have had been accepted without much criticism despite the fact that they cannot match natural fibers in respect to comfort. The 21st century seems to be the age of human protection. The protection of the environment and healthy food are already receiving attention. Now it is time to look closer at the clothing we wear. Modern apparel should not only give the highest comfort, but should also have a positive influence on the health of our bodies or at least not be harmful. This paper contains the latest results of research done on polyester and clothing from natural fibers. Amongst the tests that were done, were the protection of fabrics against UV. Tests were also done to see whether fiber origin had any influence on human body parameters, which are responsible for the state of the immune system. The next aim of this research was to ascertain whether wearing different kinds of clothing under certain conditions, whether resting or exercising may be the cause of oxidative stress and how the bodys defense mechanisms change. One way of testing the ability of the body to defend itself against the reactive oxygen species is to determine the so-called total antioxidant status (TAS). This parameter shows the total ability of tissues to neutralize exactly determined amounts of reactive oxygen species.
SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC ASSAY OF ATOMOXETINE HYDROCHLORIDE IN BULK DRUG AND PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS

Two direct, simple and sensitive visible spectrophotometric methods (M1 & M2) are described for the assay of atomoxetine hydrochloride in pure and solid dosage forms. The method M1 involves oxidative coupling of atomoxetine with brucine in presence of sodium meta periodate and purple red colored species is formed and exhibits absorption maxima at 520.5 nm. The method M2 is based on the formation of yellowish brown colored species by the drug with Folin reagent and exhibits absorption maxima at 450.6 nm. Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges (4.0-20) µg/mL for method M1, (16-48) µg/mL for method M2 respectively. The proposed methods are applied to commercial available tablets and the results are statistically compared with those obtained by the UV reference method and validated by recovery studies. The results are found satisfactory and reproducible. These methods are applied successfully for the estimation of the atomoxetine hydrochloride in the presence of other ingredients that are usually present in dosage forms. These methods offer the advantages of rapidity, simplicity and sensitivity and normal cost and can be easily applied to resource- poor settings without the need for expensive instrumentation and reagents.
Machine-Learning Powered Optoacoustic Sensor for Diabetes Progression

The assessment of diabetes severity relies primarily on a count of clinical complications to empirically characterize disease. Disease staging based on clinical complications also employs a scoring system that may not be optimally suited for analysis of earlier stages of diabetes development or for monitoring smaller increments of disease progress with high precision. We propose a novel sensor, which goes beyond the abilities of current state-of-the-art approaches and introduces a new concept in the assessment of biomedical markers by means of ultra-broadband optoacoustic detection. Being insensitive to photon scattering, the new sensor can resolve optical biomarkers in fine detail and as a function of depth and relates epidermal and dermal morphological and micro-vascular density features to diabetes state. We demonstrate basic sensor characteristics in phantoms and examine the novel sensing concept presented in a pilot study using data from 86 participants (20 healthy and 66 diabetic) at an ultra-wide optoacoustic bandwidth of 120 MHz. Machine learning based on ensemble trees was developed and trained in a supervised fashion and subsequently used to examine the relation of sensor data to disease severity, in particular as it associates to diabetes without complications vs. diabetic neuropathy or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We also investigated the sensor performance in relation to HbA1C values. The proposed method achieved statistically significant detection in all different patient groups. The effect of technical parameters, in particular sensor area size and the time window of optoacoustic signals used in data training were also examined in measurements from phantoms and humans. We discuss how optoacoustic sensors fundamentally solve limitations present in optical sensing and, empowered by machine learning, open a new chapter in non-invasive portable sensing for biomedical applications.
Consumer Perception of Cured Pork Meats: the Added Value of the Organic Attribute

Gaviglio A. , Pirani A. (2015): Consumer perception of cured pork meats: the added value of the organic attribute. Czech J. Food Sci., 33: 32–36. Convenience foods, such as cured meats, have always been appreciated in terms of their price, convenience and of course their taste. The pig sector in Italy is substantially stable, and has recently been enhanced by new forms of product differentiation, such as quality certifications. We studied consumer preferences with respect to cured meats from organic farming using a Choice Experiment (CE) and Conditional Logit (CL) approach. In order to estimate consumer attitudes towards organic cured meats, we estimated the weight of externalities that such meats produce presenting them as intrinsic attributes of the product. The final aim was therefore to examine how better health, the protection of biodiversity and the reduction of pollution can affect the choices of organic versus conventional cured meats. Given the characteristics of CE, the trade-offs among these attributes and their value in terms of consumer willingness to pay (WTP) were thus estimated. The results indicate that consumers are well-disposed to organic cured meats, and are aware of the need to support livestock productions that respect the environment and animal welfare.

Modeling of high-pressure O2(1^) generators for chemical oxygen-iodine lasers

A theoretical model is developed for chemical generators producing O2(1(Delta) ) at high pressure. Such generators are especially important for supersonic chemical oxygen-iodine lasers. The model treats different types of generators, e.g., bubble column, film, aerosol, and jet generators. The main factor affecting the O2(1(Delta) ) yield under high pressure is liquid-phase quenching enhanced by depletion of HO2- ions near the gas/liquid interface. Simple analytical expressions are derived for the O2(1(Delta) ) yield at the exit of the generator. Output characteristics of different specific generators are calculated and compared with available experimental results. O2(1(Delta) ) yield > 0.5 can be achieved for oxygen pressure up to 50 Torr and flowrates of 3 mmol/cm2s. For equal velocities of the gas and the liquid the maximum flux of the energy carried by O2(1(Delta) ) for jet or aerosol generators reaches 200 W/cm2. It can be increased by increasing the liquid velocity in the generator.

In this paper, a microstrip diplexer is designed based on a novel structure consisting of the meandrous and patch cells. It operates at 0.8 and 0.9 GHz for global system for mobile communications applications. The proposed diplexer is well miniaturized with an overall size of 0.01 λg. It has the narrowband channels making it appropriate for the modern long-range communication systems, which are widely accepted by the industry. The introduced diplexer has the other advantages of low insertion and return losses and the good isolation between channels better than −30 dB. Moreover, there is a good upper stopband rejection so that the first and second harmonics are suppressed with a maximum level of −30 dB. The designing method is based on finding the effective parameters to control the resonance frequency, miniaturization and harmonic attenuation simultaneously. To validate the designing method and simulation results, the proposed diplexer is fabricated and measured. There is a good agreement between the simulated and measured results.

Short communications: Simulation of transferring fresh waters near the shore

The data of modern precision studies of ice samples from the glaciers of Greenland and sediments at the bottom of several lakes in the UK and other countries of Northern Europe show that several thousand years ago with a slow warming of the climate in Europe there were rapid cooling (Ellison et al., 2006). Thus, 8,200 years ago, in just 1-2 years, the average annual temperature in the north of Europe decreased by almost 10 °C, mainly due to a decrease in winter temperatures. Moreover, it was not just one anomalous year then low temperatures were kept for 200–300 years, all this time in the UK, there were Siberian frosts in the winter. Climatologists associate this phenomenon with the ice melting in the Arctic, which led Abstract
Relationship among Service and Product Quality, and Price in Establishing Customer Satisfaction

One of the current issues discussed in any service provider organizations were customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction can be fulfilled when the product or service meet the requirements of customers’ wants and needs. Generous previous studies indicated many elements related to the customer satisfaction. There were three elements were tested in this study that include service quality, product quality, and price of the product or service offered by the business. Therefore, this study were conducted in order to identify the relationship among service quality, product quality and price towards customer satisfaction. In order to get the data, a set of instruments were adapted from previous study. For that reason, a set of 125 survey study were distributed to random respondents at Terengganu Equestrian Resort (TER) to investigate the relationship. The collected data were evaluated by using the statistical software SPSS version 21.0. This software was used to recognize the descriptive statistic, Pearson’s correlation, multiple regression and anova. As a result, two hypotheses were rejected and only one hypothesis showed positive relationship to the consumer satisfaction.
Chitin hybrid materials reinforced with graphene oxide nanosheets: chemical and mechanical characterisation

Chitin hybrid materials reinforced with graphene oxide nanosheets (nGO) have been prepared. The chitin : nGO ratio ranged from proportions where chitin was the main component to ones where nGO exceeded chitin. SEM and TEM images showed that high proportions of nGO may result in nanosheet association. FTIR, 13C solid-state NMR and DSC analyses showed that the interaction among the components would not involve the formation of new molecular bonds. nGO was shown to act as a filler that induces structural rearrangements in chitin which lead to new hydrogen bonds among the chains. The mechanical stability proved to be higher when the nGO content in the hybrid was similar to or higher than that of chitin. The rheological behaviour of the material was shown to become more solid-like with increasing nGO content. The nGO did not interfere with lysozyme activity on chitin chains, indicating that these materials would be biodegradable.

The objective of the current experiment was to determine the effects of high-concentration phytase (5000 FTU/kg) feeding to diverse lines of chickens fed phosphorus (P) adequate maize–soybean meal diets (4.5 g/kg non-phytate P) on the performance and intestinal immune function. Performance was measured for outbred broiler (Ross 308) and inbred Fayoumi lines over 0–21 days, and duodenum and ileum were harvested for the determination of mucin-2, interleukin (IL)-1β and IgA mRNA by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Over the 0–7-day period, there was a significant line × diet interaction, as high phytase supplementation increased broiler average daily gain (ADG), but had no effect on Fayoumi ADG. Treatment of diets with phytase increased expression of the mucin-2 gene in the duodenum mucosa. There were significant interactions between line and age, and line, diet and age on duodenal expression of the IL-1β gene as phytase supplementation of the broiler line reduced IL-1β in comparison to control fed broilers without change in the Fayoumi line. Overall, the addition of a high concentration of phytase to broilers fed adequate concentrations of non-phytate P resulted in improved growth performance early with a reduction in this effect over time. Mucosal mucin-2 expression was increased with high-concentration phytase feeding across both lines, but IL-1β mRNA expression was reduced in the duodenum of broilers fed high concentrations of phytase, suggesting that the increased performance noted might be related to decreased inflammation.
Strength and deformation of agricultural soil : measurement and practical significance

Soil has a finite strength to resist permanent volume change and permanent shear deformation. When the stresses imposed on the soil are of a sufficient magnitude to overcome the strength, then the deformation falls into one of two regimes. At low stress ratios (ratio of normal stress to maximum past stress) the soil expands when sheared and at high stress ratios it compresses. The maximum past stress in a field soil is the pre-consolidation stress. The pre-consolidation stress is the compressive stress greater than which compression is considerable and permanent. These regimes of soil deformation behaviour are consistent and predictable under a wide range of conditions. They are described by the critical state concept, which can usefully be applied to soil management. Management decisions can be based on whether the stresses imposed by a particular operation result in high or low stress ratios. This governs whether the soil will deform permanently or not (for compaction damage), expand on shear (tillage) or compress on shear (preparation of rice paddy soils). The change in permeability and structure can also be predicted from the deformation regime.
Raman Spectral Analysis of Particulates of Diesel Engine with DOC and CDPF After-Treatment Devices

In order to study the effect of the after-treatment devices on the diesel engine particulates, a series of measurements were conducted. The after-treatment systems were an oxidation catalyst and two different catalytic contents of CDPFs. In this study, the effects of DOC and CDPFs on particulates were investigated by Raman spectra in order to clarify the composition and structure of the particulates. The results show that the Raman spectra of particulates are all made up of five peaks, while the Raman shift of the peaks observed no obvious change. The two groups of CDPFs led to the same increased trend of ID2/IG and ID4/IG, while the contrary trend of ID1/IG,, ID3/IG and IALL/IG, indicating that different catalytic effect changing the process of structure and components of the particulates. While after DOC+CDPFs, the ratios of ID1/IG, ID2/IG, ID1/IG, ID4/IG and IALL/IGare all increased, this indicates that DOC also has certain effect on the degree of graphitization, but more organic compounds are formed after DOC+CDPFs, that is, the reactivity of particulates increases.
