Hollow Notion of Corporate Social Responsibility. Introduction of a Frame Field Model to Investigate CSR in Public Discourses
Authors: Weder Franzisca
Published: June 2018

The present study examines the relevance and framing of Corporate Social Responsibility in the mass media. Challenged by the ethically (over)loaded issue of responsibility, communication studies are searching for a new understanding of framing to investigate phenomena of new economic values like Corporate Social Responsibility in public discourses. For the quantitative content analysis put forward herein, frames are described as footprints of diverse positions, which determine a given public discourse. The longitudinal analysis of 26 German-speaking newspapers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland between 1999 and 2008, a phase where CSR was aligned in business practices and CSR communication established in public discourses, aims at identifying CSR-frames as well as inquiring into the existence of a public discourse about CSR. The results show that there is no discourse on CSR itself. Instead of the assumed multiple issue-specific frames, CSR itself is (ab)used as a masterframe or “buzz word” in economic discourses.
Introducing a Practical Educational Tool for Correlating Algorithm Time Complexity with Real Program Execution
Authors: Kurniawati Gisela , Karnalim Oscar
Published: June 2018

Algorithm time complexity is an important topic to be learned for programmer; it could define whether an algorithm is practical to be used on real environment or not. However, learning such material is not a trivial task. Based on our informal observation regarding studentsâ€™ test, most of them could not correlate Big-Oh equation to real program execution. This paper proposes JCEL, an educational tool that acts as a supportive tool for learning algorithm time complexity. Using this tool, user could learn how to correlate Big-Oh equation with real program execution by providing three components: a Java source code, source code input set, and time complexity equations. According to our evaluation, students feel that JCEL is helpful for learning the correlation between Big-Oh equation and real program execution. Further, the use of Pearson correlation in JCEL shows a promising result.

Authors: Torres Cristiane Batista Bezerra , Pessoa Wagner Soares
Published: June 2018

A reprogramação gênica de células diferenciadas permitiu a obtenção de células-tronco pluripotentes induzidas (induced pluripotent stem cells  – iPSCs) que não apresentam os questionamentos éticos que envolvem as células-tronco embrionárias e nem o risco de rejeição imunológica. A tecnologia do Conjunto de Repetições Palindrômicas Regularmente Espaçadas com Nuclease Associada 9 (CRISPR-Cas9), permite a correção de defeitos genéticos. O presente estudo tem por objetivo revisar as principais questões metodológicas relacionadas às iPSCs e o CRISPR-Cas 9. Realizou-se uma busca eletrônica nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed e SciELO, por meio das expressões “induced pluripotent stem cells ” e “CRISPR Cas9”. As iPSCs podem ser expandidas em cultura e diferenciadas em qualquer célula do corpo, consistindo em um modelo útil para a edição de genes com o CRISPR-Cas9, abrindo novas perspectivas na pesquisa em medicina regenerativa e terapia gênica.

Objective. To improve the results of treatment in patients, suffering an acute biliary pancreatitis with biliary hypertension, applying individual approach in choosing surgical procedure in early phase of the disease.
Маterials and methods. The results of diagnosis and treatment of 140 patients, suffering an acute biliary pancreatitis, were analyzed. There were 33 men and 107 women, ageing 22 – 88 yrs, and median age – 57.6 yrs old. In all the patients biliary origin of pancreatitis was diagnosed in accordance to criteria, proposed by Holland’s Investigation Group for Pancreatitis Studying. The patients were divided into two groups, in accordance to periods for conduction of decompressive treatment procedures. Into Group 1 were included 70 patients, in whom decompressive surgical interventions were performed in the first 72 h after primary appearance of abdominal pain, independent from time of admittance to the clinic, and into Group 2 – 70 patients, in whom the wait–and–see tactics with conservative therapy was applied in accordance to the disease severity, decompressive methods were used later than 72 h after the disease beginning.
Results. In patients of Group1 49 fibrogastroduodenoscopies (FGDS) with papillosphincterotomy and lithoextraction, 10 transcutaneous puncture drainages, 13 laparoscopic cholecystectomies with external draining of extrahepatic biliary ducts (in 5 patients laparoscopic choledochoscopy with lithoextraction) were performed. Necrotic forms of an acute pancreatitis were revealed in 26 (37.1%) patients, in 12 (46.2%) of them the infectioning have occurred. Average duration of treatment have constituted 15.48 days, and lethality – 8.57%. In patients of Group 2 22 FGDS with papillosphincterotomy and lithoextraction,5 transcutaneous puncture drainages, 6 cholecystectomies (of them 5 – with external draining of common biliary duct), 18 necrsequestrectomies (in 11 patients cholecystectomy was done additionally and in 7 – drainage of extrahepatic biliary ducts) were performed. Necrotic forms of an acute pancreatitis have developed in 38 (54.3%) patients, of them in 25 (65.8%) the infectioning have occurred. Average duration of treatment have constituted 22.2 days, and lethality – 17.14%.
Conclusion. Application of decompressive operative interventions for elimination of biliary hypertension in patients, suffering an acute biliary pancreatitis in the first 72 h after the disease beginning, make possible to reduce the occurrence rate for necrotic and infected forms, the disease severity, the lethality level and the stationary state duration.

Authors: Mankovsky G. B.
Published: June 2018

Objective. Estimation of late results of transcutaneous coronary intervention (TCCI) in patients, suffering іschemic heart disease (ІHD) and diabetes mellitus (DM).
Маterials and methods. Results of questionnaires application in 459 patients were analyzed.
Results. After TCCI performance in patients, suffering IHD and DM, the angina recurrences have occurred more often, аs well as the necessity to reperform coronarography and TCCI, comparing to patients without disorders of carbohydrate metabolism. Presence of DM in patients, suffering ІHD, did not impact on the reintervention rate after doing TCCI , using stents with medicinal coverage. After doing the balloon angioplasty or implantation of stents without medicinal coverage in patients, suffering ІHD and DM, a necessity for reoperation, using TCCI, have occurred trustworthily more often.
Conclusion. Balloon angioplasty or implantation of stents without medicinal coverage in the patients, suffering ІHD and DM, results in the risk enhancement for restenosis occurrence, comparing with patients, in whom DM is absent.
DM trustworthily do not lead to enhancement of the restenosis risk, while doing a primary TCCI, using stents with medicinal coverage.

Uno de los principales problemas que enfrentan los productores forestales es la incógnita de saber cómo estimar el volumen de madera que tienen en su área boscosa, a partir de datos obtenidos de un inventario forestal. Las ecuaciones de volumen y sus expresiones tabuladas son una de las principales herramientas para conocer, de manera confiable, las existencias reales y realizar un manejo sostenible, así como para la gestión forestal. En este contexto, se realizó un estudio para elaborar ecuaciones y tablas de volúmenes para Pinus lawsonii  y P. oocarpa  en la zona sur de la Sierra Purhépecha. La toma de datos de campo se llevó a cabo mediante el derribo y cubicación de 152 árboles de P. lawsonii  y 83 para P. oocarpa.  Se ajustaron y compararon los modelos de Schumacher-Hall , Thornber , Spurr  con variable combinada aritmética, Spurr  con variable combinada logarítmica y Korsun,  los cuales presentaron valores de R2 ajustada entre 0.97 a 0.99 estadísticos de Durbin Watson cercanos a 2; la prueba de Shapiro-Wilk muestra una buena distribución de los residuales. Un análisis ponderado concluyó que para la estimación del volumen de árboles en pie, el modelo de Schumacher-Hall fue el de mejor ajuste. La prueba de homogeneidad de varianzas indica que se puede emplear de manera indistinta este modelo para ambas especies.

Published: June 2018

Introductions: Congenital malformations need to be identified and intervened early to save lives and prevent sufferings. Many birth defects have well known incidence/prevalence rates but these have not been studied thoroughly in the local population of Nepal. The current study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of congenital malformation at birth, to classify them systematically, to study risk factors and immediate outcome of the newborn babies afflicted.Methods: This was a cross sectional study. All newly delivered babies were examined carefully for congenital malformation and when detected, the parents were interviewed in detail.Results: Over the 10 months of study period 7,922 babies were delivered out of which 90 were stillborn. The number of babies with malformations was 64 (0.81%). Polydactyli was observed in 12 (19%) babies whereas cleft lip/palate and malformations of ears in seven (11%) each. Musculoskeletal system was affected in 31 (35%) cases and craniofacial in 18 (21%). Nine (14%) mothers had bad obstetric history and eight (13%) had illness/medication during pregnancy.Conclusions: Congenital malformation is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in Patan hospital. Our findings support many established thoughts like higher rates in stillbirths but also challenge some age-old beliefs like higher rates in babies born to older mothers.

Published: June 2018

Introductions: Self-assessment enables medical students to self-evaluate their knowledge and seek timely assistance for effective learning from their peers and faculties. Self-assessment is an integral part of the student assessment system of School of Medicine, Patan Academy of Health Sciences.Methods: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Structured Integrated Short Answer Questions (SISAQs) links were sent to the personal e-mail of medical students at the start of Principle of Human Biology I Block. These items were created and selected from various disciplines as per their curricular weightage in this block. Students’ scores and feedback were analysed once this 11-week long block was over.Results: The MCQ surveys had ideal difficulty levels and acceptable discrimination indices but they had poor internal consistencies. The criterion-referenced cut-scores of MCQs and SISAQ were higher than the conventionally used 50% pass-mark in Nepal. Students’ suggested to increase the MCQs and SISAQ numbers and match them in terms of their difficulty levels with the end-block and end-year summative assessments. Item analysis helped to identify the items to be retained, revised and discarded for the future use.Conclusions: Web-based self-assessment of knowledge was found to be an extremely useful tool to inculcate self-directed and life-long learning habits among medical students.Journal of Patan Academy of Health Sciences. 2014 Dec;1(2):58-63

Published: June 2018

Introduction: Variation in growth pattern in different facial forms affect the space available for tooth eruption, therefore the mandibular third molar impaction has correlation with different skeletal facial types.Objective: To determine the position of impacted mandibular third molar in different skeletal facial types in Nepalese samples.Materials & Method: This cross sectional study was carried out on pre-treatment lateral cephalogram and orthopantomogram records of 207 orthodontic patients visiting Kantipur Dental College and Hospital. Age range of the sample was 16-33 years. Various facial forms were determined with the help of mandibular plane angle (SN-GoGn); for which Nemoceph software was used. Beta angle was used to determine the angle of impaction of mandibular third molar. Impaction pattern was classified as per Pell & Gregory and Winter’s system. SPSS version 20 was used for statistical analysis.Result: Overall rate of mandibular third molar impaction was 63.77% (11.11% unilateral and 52.66% bilateral impaction). The most common type of impaction bilaterally was mesioangular based on Winter’s classification, Class II Position B based on Pell & Gregory’s classification. Higher rate of mandibular third molar impaction was found in dolichofacial type of face (49.2%).Conclusion: Decreased mandibular third molar impactions are seen in brachyfacial type compared to mesofacial and dolichofacial types

Published: June 2018

Introduction: Forsus is a useful appliance for non-compliant Class II problems, however various problems can occur when using them.Objective: To demonstrate a comprehensive series of of critical situations that can occur using the Forsus device and to provide the possible solutions of each complication.Materials & Method: The clinical management of the Forsus appliance was analyzed for eighty consecutively treated patients. The Forsus was used five months on average and pictures and clinical record were registered each time a patient had a problem or an injury.Discussion: The most common problem was breakage of the appliance. Breakage could occur as debonding of the lower first premolars or unsoldering of the upper first molar tubes. Lower premolar debonding could be prevented and fixed with an extra layer of flow composite surrounding the bracket base. Lesions of the cheek mucosa were found in several patients. A soft cotton pad used as “wax” was an effective solution to allow soft tissue healing and to prevent spring rubbing against the cheek. Upper molar intrusion occurred mainly when second molars were not included in the upper arch. Some patients experienceddisconnection of the spring and the push rod while opening the mouth wide. They were taught to self-adjust the appliance.Conclusion: The use of the Forsus appliance may lead to relatively frequent problems that the orthodontist can easily preventand manage.

Authors: Basukala Dharma Laxmi
Published: June 2018

Skeletal Class III with openbite is one of the most difficult malocclusion to treat orthodontically. Generally, the morphological characteristics of this malocclusion are poor antero-posterior growth of the maxilla or excessive growth of the mandible with high angle. An 18-year-old male had Class III malocclusion with retrognathic maxilla and normal mandible with high angle. All third molars except on fourth quadrant were extracted to eliminate the posterior crowding. Multiloop Edgewise Arch-wire (MEAW) technique was used to upright the mesially inclined buccal teeth and to correct occlusal plane. In nine month time,  anterior cross bite and open bite were corrected; normal overjet, overbite and Class I canine relation were achieved.

Pengaruh Konsentrasi Surfaktan Anionik Terhadap Salinitas Optimum dalam Mikroemulsi Spontan dengan Sample Minyak Lapangan M
Authors: Widyaningsih Ratna
Published: June 2018

Formulasi optimum untuk injeksi kimia dapat ditentukan baik dengan pengukuran tegangan antarmuka yang minimum atau dengan uji perilaku daerah 3 fasa. Terkait dengan kurva desaturasi, dimana semakin rendah tegangan antarmuka, maka semakin rendah saturasi minyak sisa. Mikroemulsi tipe III berdasarkan klasifikasi Winsor adalah kondisi dimana tegangan antarmuka berada di posisi terendah dibandingkan dengan tipe I dan tipe II, dimana kondisi ini disebut juga salinitas optimum. Salinitas optimum sangat dipengaruhi oleh interaksi kimia antara surfaktan-minyak dan surfaktan-air. Terkait dengan gradient salinity pada desain injeksi surfaktan, maka target salinitas optimum yang diharapkan haruslah tercapai untuk mengoptimalkan perolehan minyak. Uji kelakuan fasa dengan menggunakan surfaktan anionik dan contoh minyak dari Lapangan M, dilakukan untuk meneliti pengaruh konsentrasi surfaktan terhadap salinitas optimum dan rasio kelarutan air/minyak di dalam mikroemulsi. Pada penelinitian ini, konsentrasi surfaktan anionik percobaan diubah dari 1 wt% menjadi 0,5 wt%. Dari dasil uji coba tersebut, menunjukkan bahwa pengurangan konsentrasi surfaktan anionik menghasilkan penurunan salinitas optimum dari 42.000 ppm menjadi 31.000 ppm. Sedangkan solubilization ratio menunjukkan hasil tidak mengalami perubahan yang signifikan. Dari hasil penelitian ini, diharapkan penggunaan konsentrasi surfaktan yang tepat akan menjadi petunjuk dalam desain injeksi surfaktan yang diharapkan sesuai dengan kondisi salinitas alami air formasi di Lapangan M.

The present study aims to investigate the main
lines of vocational training and ethics education in Turkey from past to today
in order to discuss the elements which are likely to play role on the efficacy
of ethics education. To do this, first the social and economic rules of Akhism
and the Guild System (the Loncas),
forming the economic and social infrastructure of Turkish private enterprises
in between the 13th – 16th Centuries are
investigated. Second, the modern vocational
training and ethics education in accounting profession throughout education
process from primary school to accounting-related training period are
investigated. Then, by considering the International Education Standards for
Professional Accountants (IES)-4, the study suggests an ethics education
process and compares it to the current ethics education and vocational training
process of today’s Turkey in order to reveal where we are. Thus, the study
emphasizes crucial points and shortcomings in ethics education process and
discusses why ideal vocational training and ethics education in accounting
profession could not be reached.
In Pursuit of Harmony between Science and Religion
Authors: Lample Paul
Published: June 2018

The disintegration of the old world order is accelerating, driven by religious fanaticism, irreligion, and an inability to achieve sufficient consensus of thought and action to systematically address the ills afflicting humanity. The capacity to unite in the investigation of truth for the advancement of civilization requires the harmony of science and religion, in which, as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá explains, science is freed from ma terialism and religion from superstition. This paper looks at how Bahá’ís might understand and increasingly contribute to the effectuation of this principle through action and involvement in contemporary discourse.
Anne Gould Hauberg and Mark Tobey
Authors: Gordon Perry Anne
Published: June 2018

Seattle art patron Anne Gould Hauberg (1917–2016) and Seattle-based painter Mark Tobey (1890–1976) shared a common interest in art and faith. Their friendship spanned decades, with Hauberg providing patronage for Tobey, who, along with creating significant works of art for her and other Northwest collectors, taught her about the Bahá’í Faith, which guided her for the rest of her life. Following the recent death of Hauberg, the author reflects on her visits with the two art lovers—visits that occurred forty years apart—and pays tribute to them as individuals and as friends who nurtured and helped to sustain each other.

Objective: To examine the anti-gastric ulcer activity of Payawanorn (Psuderanthemum palatiferum)  water extract (PPE) in rats.Material and Methods: Evaluation of anti-gastric ulcer activity of PPE was performed using three induced gastric ulcers models: (1) ethanol/hydrochloric acid (EtOH/HCl), (2) restraint water immersion stress and (3) indomethacin. Ulcer indices were determined by microscopic examination (10X). Pylorus ligation and gastric-wall mucus determination were used to investigate the mechanism of anti-gastric ulcer activity of PPE.Results: Oral administration of PPE (150, 300 and 600 mg/kg) significantly inhibited gastric ulcer formation induced by EtOH/HCl, by water immersion restraint stress, and by indomethacin in rats (p-value<0.05). PPE at 600 mg/kg showed a high percent inhibition of gastric ulcer formation in all models. In the pylorus-ligated model, pretreatment with PPE had no effect on pH, acidity output or the gastric acid secretion rate, demonstrating that PPE lacks an anti-secretory effect. Gastric wall mucus was markedly preserved by pretreatment PPE at 600 mg/kg (18.91±2.57 μg alcian blue/g wet stomach) after ethanol-induced ulcer when compared to that the control group (12.38±1.02 μg alcian blue/ g wet stomach).Conclusion: PPE possesses an anti-gastric ulcer effect related to the preservation of gastric mucus, supporting the traditional use of P. palatiferum to treat gastric ulcers.
Gastric Schwannoma
Authors: Pattarapuntakul Tanawat
Published: June 2018

A gastric schwannoma is a rare primary spindle cell mesenchymal tumor of the digestive tract. Gastric schwannomas originate from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerves in the stomach. The majority of schwannomas are benign, slow growing tumors only a few of which develop into malignancies. Due to their indolent course, in most cases, gastric schwannomas are asymptomatic or discovered as an incidental finding on cross-sectional imaging or endoscopy. When symptomatic, the most common presenting symptoms are abdominal pain, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and intra- abdominal mass. Preoperatively, gastric schwannomas are difficult to differentiate from other mesenchymal tumors, such as gastrointestinal stroma or leiomyoma which develop from mesenchymal stem cells. The optimal management of the tumor is based on the symptoms of the patient, tumor size and histologic grading and the prognosis is excellent after complete surgical or endoscopic removal. Gastric schwannomas need multidisciplinary team management for definitive diagnosis and management, including specialists from gastroenterology, surgery, radiology and pathology.

Published: June 2018

Perkembangan zaman yang semakin maju dengan teknologi yang berkembang semakin pesat membuat setiap orang ingin menciptakan hal yang baru baik dalam bidang pendidikan, pertahanan, perikanan, pemerintahan, perkebunan, pertanian, hingga untuk lingkungan paling kecil yaitu keluarga. Teknologi ini sudah merambah ke berbagai bidang tersebut. Dimulai dari pembuatan robot untuk pendidikan, pertahanan Negara, hingga pembuatan mikrokontroller untuk remote control jarak jauh dan sebagainya. Tidak hanya di lingkungan sekitar area pendidikan dan pertahanan, tetapi juga dalam pertanian dan perkebunanpun sekarang sudah banyak dikembangkan alat-alat yang dapat membantu para petani mengelola pertanian dan perkebunan mereka. Alat-alat ini sudah banyak beredar di luar negeri maupun di dalam negeri ini yaitu Indonesia. Hal ini sangat mendukung para generasi muda untuk menciptakan alat-alat yang nantinya akan berguna di masa yang akan datang. Hal inilah yang mendukung program pengabdian ini dalam membuat Automatic Water Spray. Alat ini adalah alat penyiram yang bekerja secara otomatis yang nantinya dapat dikendalikan melalui komputer dalam jangkauan rumah kaca. Karena bila didalam rumah kaca kita bisa mengendalikan dan mengontrol alat dengan mudah. Alat ini nantinya mempunyai timer yang akan menyiram tanaman secara otomatis sehingga dapat membantu mengefisienkan kerja para petani. Tujuan dibuatnya alat ini adalah untuk membantu kinerja para petani sehingga dapat maksimal, untuk membantu para petani bila mereka lupa atau tidak tepat waktu dalam menyiram dan merawat tanaman, dan untuk memaksimalkan penyiraman keseluruh bagian tanaman. Alasan kami merancang alat ini adalah untuk memaksimalkan kinerja yang ada pada lahan pertanian khususnya adalah lahan perkebunan rumah kaca. Perkebunan rumah kaca adalah suatu jalan untuk memberdayakan dan meningkatkan produktivitas tanaman dengan pengendalian cuaca dan tanah. Melihat kondisi perkebunan rumah kaca di Indonesia yang kebanyakan masih secara manual dalam merawat tanaman-tanaman, kami mempunyai suatu prospektif bagaimana cara membantu para petani tersebut. Lahan yang dibutuhkan dalam perkebunan rumah kaca ini cukup besar tergantung tujuan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas tanamannya. Namun dalam hal ini kami masih membatasi untuk skala kecil. Di Indonesia sendiri kami meneliti perkebunan yang ada di daerah Lembang dan Ciwidey yang mempunyai banyak lahan perkebunan. Kami ingin mengembangkan rancangan alat automatic water spray ini untuk memaksimalkan kinerja maupun produktivitas dari perkebunan itu sendiri. Seperti rumah kaca KB dan Cikabayan IPB yang sudah mengembangkan rumah kaca mereka untuk memaksimalkan dan memanfaatkan lahan menjadi perkebunan rumah kaca yang dapat meningkatkan produktivitas tanamannya

Published: June 2018

Sayuran organik merupakan produk yang sehat untuk dikonsumsi dan ramah terhadap lingkungan, karena sayuran organik tidak menggunakan bahan kimia dalam penanamannya. Fenomena yang terjadi pada konsumen di Indonesia dalam memilih sayuran organik masih sangat rendah. Hal tersebut terjadi karena pengetahuan konsumen atas produk organik masih rendah. Penelitian eksperimen ini dilakukan pada 110 konsumen yang mengetahui produk sayuran organik di ritel swalayan Kota Bandung, melalui analisis regresi linier. Temuan penelitian diketahui bahwa minat beli akan meningkat diiringi dengan peningkatan pengetahuan konsumen atas green awareness. Demografi konsumen menentukan tinggi rendahnya pengetahuan konsumen atas produk organik. Hal yang perlu disikapi pada dukungan demografi konsumen adalah tingkat pendidikan, dimana tidak mendukung akan peningkatan minat membeli konsumen, seperti rendahnya pengetahuan atas label organik. Temuan tersebut menjadi perhatian penting atas implementasi logo organik di Indonesia. Peran pemerintah dalam hal edukasi label organik, menjadi salah satu hal penting dalam upaya meningkatkan kepedulian konsumen atas produk organik
