BACKGROUND

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased short-term and long-term mortality and morbidity after lung transplantation (LT). The primary objective of this study was to analyze the perioperative factors associated with AKI according to KDIGO criteria during hospitalization in an intensive care unit (ICU) after LT.

METHODS

This was a single-center observational, prospective study. AKI was defined according to KDIGO criteria. Results are expressed as median, interquartile range, absolute numbers and percentages. Statistical analyses were performed using Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test and Mann-Witney U test (p<0.05 was considered to be significant). Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors.

RESULTS

Between January 2016 and April 2018, 94 patients (pts) underwent LT (70% bilateral LT). AKI occurred during ICU stay in 46 pts (49%). KDIGO 1 AKI was observed in 16 pts (17%), KDIGO 2 in 14 pts (15%), and KDIGO 3 in 16 pts (17%) including 12 pts (75%) who required renal replacement therapy (RRT). AKI occurred before the fifth day after surgery for 38 patients (82% of the AKI patients). On multivariate analysis, independent factors associated with AKI were bilateral LT and mechanical ventilation (MV) > 3 days (OR 4.26 95%CI [1.49; 13.63] p=0.010 and OR 5.56 [1.25; 11.47] p=0.018, respectively). AKI and the need for RRT were significantly associated with ICU mortality, 28-day mortality and one-year mortality.

CONCLUSION

AKI is common during ICU stay after LT, especially after bilateral LT and is associated with prolonged MV, and increased short-term and long-term mortality.

Published: June 2019

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the relative humidity and temperature over the cornea in three different eye glass frame designs to see if frame design can influence relative humidity and temperature measured over the eyeball surface.

Setting: Ophthalmology practice in the Denver, Colorado area

Design: Prospective study

Materials and Methods: Relative humidity and temperature were measured in 59 subjects in a clinical setting, with three different eye glass frame designs from June 2016 to September 2016. Measurements were made with small sensors mounted inside the eye glass lenses, to see if eyeglass frame design could influence these measured values. Baseline measures were taken with glasses off and follow-up measures with glasses on.

Results: Relative humidity increased most markedly with a tight wraparound frame design (38.9%), followed by a smaller increase with post cataract wraparound sunglass frames (2.8%), and a minimal decrease with normal frames (-1.3 %).  The temperature increased over the eyeball in all frame designs, but changed most dramatically in the tight wraparound frame (11.2 degrees).

Conclusion: Tight wraparound eyeglass frames significantly increase the relative humidity over the cornea, as measured in this study. This frame design may offer another method of treatment for dry eye disease that is lower in cost than present therapies.

Key Words: Dry Eye Disease, Relative Humidity.

An Improvement of the VDSR Network for Single Image Super-Resolution by Truncation and Adjustment of the Learning Rate Parameters
Authors: Romanuke Vadim
Published: June 2019

A problem of single image super-resolution is considered, where the goal is to recover one high-resolution image from one low-resolution image. Whereas this problem has been successfully solved so far by the known VDSR network, such an approach still cannot give an overall beneficial effect compared to bicubic interpolation. This is so due to the fact that the image reconstruction quality has been estimated separately by three subjective factors. Moreover, the original VDSR network consisting of 20 convolutional layers is apparently not optimal by its depth. This is why here those factors are aggregated, and the network performance is deemed by a single estimator. Then the depth is tried to be decreased (truncation) along with adjusting the learning rate drop factor. Finally, a plausible improvement of the VDSR network is confirmed. The best truncated network, performing by almost 3.2 % better than bicubic interpolation, occupies less memory space and is about 1.44 times faster than the original VDSR network for images of a medium size.
High normal blood pressure and hypertension among Polish students: prevalence and risk factors
Authors: Szafraniec Dominika , Czarny Wojciech
Published: June 2019

The purpose of this work was twofold: to determine prevalence of hypertension and high normal blood pressure in university students, and to assess impact of body weight status, field of study and selected lifestyle factors on the arterial blood pressure (BP) values. The research was conducted in a group of 731 male and female full-time academic students who volunteered as participants in the study. The thickness of skinfolds was measured in three standard places. The percentage of fat was determined using the body composition analyzer. Body height and mass, waist circumference, hips and the largest right thigh circumference were measured and anthropometric indices calculated. The blood pressure values were measured according to the Korotkov method. Data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods, oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression analysis. The chi-square test of independence and linear regression analysis were used to assess impact of selected factors on BP values. High normal BP was found in 19% of women and 23% of men, and hypertension in 10% of women and 32% of men. Factors having a very high effect on BP values in both women and men were the somatic structure and fat content in the body. A positive correlation was found between subscapularis muscle fatty infiltration and BP values in both women and men. Majority of lifestyle factors were not associated with BP values but smoking and alcohol consumption. The field of study and level of physical activity were directly associated with high normal BP and hypertension. In conclusion it should be stated that high blood pressure is a growing problem in young adult people with men being more likely to be exposed to this condition than women.
Arsenical Pesticides in Early Francoist Spain: Fascism, Autarky, Agricultural Engineers and the Invisibility of Toxic Risks
Authors: Bertomeu-Sánchez José Ramón
Published: June 2019

Lead arsenate was introduced on a massive scale in agriculture in Spain in the early 1940s. With the support of a network of agricultural engineers, the new Francoist state encouraged the production and use of lead arsenate as the main weapon against a newly arrived pest, the Colorado potato beetle. In this paper I discuss arsenical pesticides as sociotechnological products which played a pivotal role in the joint production of both chemical-based agriculture and the emerging Francoist regime in Spain during the 1940s. I review the campaigns organized by agriculture engineers and the making of the new National Register for Phytosanitary Products in 1942. The new regulations promoted research in pesticide quality control but also contributed to concealing the health hazards. This invisibilization of the risks took shape in the confluence of interests of the emerging Francoist state, the new pesticide industry, and the large network of agricultural engineers.
Dominance of the Digital (1990–2016)
Authors: Misa Thomas J.
Published: June 2019

This talk presents the theme that anchors the new third edition of Leonardo to the Internet: Technology and Culture from the Renaissance to the Present, which is organized around technical-economic-political “eras” spotlighting the long-term interactions of technology and culture. The book’s first edition (2004) concluded with an optimistic assessment of global culture, then added a pessimistic assessment of systemic risk (2011). The eras point to socio-economic structures that foster and channel the development of certain technologies (and not others). This approach steers for a middle ground between social constructivism and technological determinism. This talk analyzes Moore’s Law (1975–2005), widely hailed to explain, well, everything. By 1975 Gordon Moore appeared to accurately “predict” the doubling every 18 months of the number components on each integrated circuit. During these years chips expanded from roughly 2,000 to 600 million transistors; more important the “law” guided a technical revolution and an industry transformation. At first national and then international cooperative “roadmapping” exercises predicted the exact dimensions of chips in the future, and semiconductor companies all aimed exactly where their peers were aiming. So Moore’s Law is a self-fulfilling prophecy supported for three decades by inter-firm cooperation and synchronized R&D.
Communicating Science and Technology. Gradiva’s Books of Popularization of Science and Technology and the Portuguese Public
Authors: Navalhas Inês N.
Published: June 2019

By focusing on the books of popularization of science and technology published by Gradiva this research aims at understanding the mechanisms and strategies to bring science and technology to a broader audience in Portugal, after 1974, the year of the Carnation Revolution that put an end to a long half century dictatorship. I use a mix conceptual framework: on the one hand, I use the scientific literacy and public understanding of science and technology main references to explore the public’s behavior and opinion concerning scientific and technological knowledge; on the other hand, I analyze Gradiva’s choices concerning the collections aimed at popularizing science and technology. So, I hope to contribute to map the perception of the Portuguese public about techno-scientific themes that influence their life and decisions, to understand how scientists relate to scientific and technological popularization literature and to assess scientific literacy in the Portuguese population.

Authors: Karimnia Amin , Jamadi Meisam
Published: June 2019

This study investigated the relationship between English teachers’ epistemological beliefs and moral dilemma. In doing so, 70 English teachers were selected from different language institutes and were included in the research sample. The instruments used to collect the data included the Schommer Epistemological Questionnaire (SEQ) and the Defining Issues Test (DIT). The collected data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation method and descriptive statistics in SPSS software. The findings revealed that the participants believed that knowledge improves with experience over time, and that there was also an innate ability to acquire knowledge. They also displayed conflicting views about the simplicity/complexity of knowledge. The analysis of different stages of moral development in the views of the English teachers showed an ascending trend in the moral development from stage 2 (the focus on personal interests) through stage 6 (appeal to intuitive moral principles/ideals). Besides, significant differences were found among different stages of moral development as assessed by the EFL teachers and also in terms of the impact of different moral reasoning schemas on the participants when making judgments about different moral dilemmas.
Gendered Performance, Fluid Identities and Protest in Tess Onwueme’s Then She Said It
Authors: Amaefula Rowland Chukwuemeka
Published: June 2019

This study examines the social constructions of gender as the encapsulation of reiterated human conducts within varying sites of performance. Contrary to the notion that gender roles are fixed by socio-cultural forces, this paper focuses on the fluidity of human dispositions in differing circumstances. Adopting Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity, the researcher analyses Tess Onwueme’s Then She Said It. This protest play attests to the variability of gender performance. The characters in the drama, especially the protagonists and antagonists, exhibit considerable alterations in gender performance in different situations. Thus, the study argues that the rigid classification of gender roles along sex lines (on both biological and gendered sexuality) in protest drama in Nigeria is incongruous with the characters’ dispositions in the plays. Indeed, characters adopt cross-gendered performances as a strategy of protesting against overbearing conditions.
“I am not Alone”: Intergenerational Solidarity in Three:Generation Households from the Perspective of the Older Generation
Authors: Hortová Simona , Souralová Adéla
Published: June 2019

This article focuses on intergenerational solidarity in three-generation households. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with seven members of the oldest generation cohabiting in a three-generation household, the article investigates the aspects, perceptions, and meanings of intergenerational solidarity. The article is based mainly on the theory of intergenerational solidarity presented by Alice S. Rossi and Peter H. Rossi (1990) and Robert E. L. Bengtson and Vern L. Roberts (1991). We are inspired by the classification of solidarity into seven dimensions – associational solidarity, affectual solidarity, consensual solidarity, functional solidarity, normative solidarity, and intergenerational family structure – and observe these dimensions in the context of three-generation co-living. Using a qualitative approach allows us to capture the emic perspective of the interviewees and their perceptions of intergenerational relations and their position within a three-generation household.

ABSTRACTBackground: Short-term memory plays a role in all children's cognitive processes both in understanding the language, working on the task and problem-solving process. The speed of cognitive processes in children depend on the degree of activation of short-term memory. With stimulation that given in the form of brain-activating movements is expected to integrate short-term memory and long-term memory to generate new knowledge or expand the existing load in long-term memory. Cognitive function and academic achievement can also be influenced by the level of physical fitness. Physical fitness is very useful to support the physical capacity of children who in the end expected to improve his performance. Objective: This research was conducted to find out how big increase of short-term memory and physical fitness at the addition of Brain Gym in SSAI program at elementary school student of Inpres Pondang. Method: This research is true experimental, using two group pre and post test control group design. This research was conducted at SD Inpres Pondang, 3 times weekly for 6 weeks, at January 22, 2018 - March 05, 2018. The sample of research is 42 people divided into two groups. The Control Group in the form of SSAI program and the Treatment Group was given the addition of Brain Gym in the SSAI program. The measuring instrument used to memory span to measure short-term memory and TKJI to measure physical fitness. Results: The results of hypothesis testing using Wilcoxon test and Mann Whitney test. Wilcoxon test results showed short-term memory improvement in the treatment group significantly (p<0.05), the control group showed significant short-term memory increase (p<0.05). The result of hypothesis test shows the value of increase of physical fitness index in the treatment group significantly (p<0.05). The increase value of physical fitness index in control group significantly (p<0.05). Mann Whitney test results showed the value of span digits in the treatment group and control group with p=0.005 (p<0.05). Physical fitness value in treatment group and control group with p value = 0.091 (p>0.05). Conclusion: Statistically there is a difference in the addition of brain gymnastics to SSAI in increasing short-term memory of elementary students. Statistically there is no difference in the addition of brain gymnastics in SSAI in improving physical fitness in elementary school students.Keywords: Short term memory, physical fitness, memory span, Indonesian physical fitness test, brain gym, healthy gymnastics Indonesian children.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The main problem that often occurs in schizophrenia patient is violent behavior when can get injure yourself or others. The handling of violent behavior is carried out with a combination of psychopharmacology and psychosocial interventions such as the therapy of channeling group activity. One activity that can be given to reduce violent behavior is through physical activity in the form of dance and motion that is combined with the music of poco-poco gymnastics. The purpose of this study is group activity energy distribusy therapy: poco-poco exercise, decrease symtom of violent behavior on schizophrenic patient. Methods : Type of pre experimental study, using One-group pre-post test design. Sample technique used Purposive sampling with 22 samples. Data collection using observation sheets.Result : The results showed that the risk of pre-test risk behavior was 13.77, including the risk of moderate hardness behavior and post test results of 5.64, including the risk of mild violent behavior. Paired t Test statistic test results obtained p < 0.05 indicates there is group energy distribution therapy activities: poco-poco exercises can decrease symtom of violent behavior in schizophrenic patients. recommended for patients with schizophrenia to be given continuous poco-poco TAK training.

Background: Disorder of dynamic balance is often found in children with Down syndrome which causes difficulty in maintaining posture against impending disorders. If this is left it will certainly cause problems of further motor development. Purpose: To prove the physiotherapy intervention that can improve dynamic balance among children with down syndrome 7-15 years. Methods: The research is true experimental with pre-test and post-test group design. This study used 24 subjects in 2 groups, group 1 (n=11) given dynamic neuromuscular stabilization on while group 2 (n=11) given perceptual motor program. Divided randomly into 2 groups that is group 1 dynamic neuromuscular stabilization and group 2 perceptual motor program. The exercise is held 3 times a week in 6 weeks. Measurements of this dynamic balance are using sixteen balance tests. Result: The paired sample t-test statistical test in group 1 showed a significant difference with value (p <0.001) on mean before intervention 48.5±5.428 and after intervention 72.75±4.413. The paired sample t-test statistical test in group 2 showed a significant difference with value (p <0.001) on mean before intervention 48.5±5.3 and after intervention 69.42±4.379. Different test between group 1 and 2 using independent sample t-test showed a significant difference with value (p<0.001). Conclusion: The conclusions are dynamic neuromuscular stabilization is better than perceptual motor program in improving dynamic balance among children with down syndrome 7-15 years at Pradnyagama Foundation Denpasar.
Individual unlearning from the point of view of managers in merger and acquisition events in Brazil
Authors: Rodrigues Henrique Geraldo , Bido Diógenes de Souza
Published: June 2019

Unlearning goes on to constitute a mechanism that facilitates the acquisition of new learning, and as such, represents a way for dealing with personal resistance in relation to processes of organizational change. In spite of the importance of the theme, it is argued that there exists little empirical understanding on the form through which unlearning operates, which collaborates toward the approach of the theme, in organizational research studies, being conceptually confusing. In this way, this research analyzes that which represents unlearning and its relationship with learning, from the perspective of managers that have experienced an unlearning situation from the events of mergers and acquisitions. The study method is based on a narrative analysis that is focused on reports from 20 managers from middle and top level of large sized Brazilian companies, all of which experienced a merger and acquisition event. The results show that a majority of managers have been through some kind of unlearning, which represented the way by which the practice of old learnings was interrupted, through the proposal of adaptation to the new work context. In addition, unlearning was noted not to necessarily represent the forgetting of prior learnings, which may themselves be maintained in the repertoire of individual knowledge. For some managers, however, unlearning can lead to the modification of previous understandings on a particular subject. Finally, the results show that unlearning may occur, without the need for the occurrence of any new learning. The study contributes toward the deeper understanding of the nature surrounding this phenomenon and associated types, thus producing implications to research on the theme concerning management learning.

Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare hereditary disorder associated with autosomal dominant hereditary epithelial carcinomas, in which patients have an increased incidence of renal cell carcinomas, scattered hamartomas, pulmonary cysts, and spontaneous pneumothoraces. Other less common findings include lipomas, parathyroid adenomas, salivary gland tumors, and colonic polyps/tumors. Early diagnosis of BHD can help establish renal screening and reduce mortality by early detection and more effective treatment of renal cell carcinoma. This case report describes the sonographic features of salivary gland oncocytomas found in a patient with BHD.
The Meaning of a Market and the Meaning of "Meaning"
Authors: Jonker Julian D
Published: June 2019

Are there any viable semiotic objections to commodification? A semiotic objection holds that even if there is no independent consequentialist or deontic objection to the marketing of a good—such as that it is exploitative or causes third party harm—there remains a problem with what is said by participating in that market. Recent discussion of semiotic objections have suffered from a basic ambiguity in such talk. As Grice pointed out, there is a difference between saying that smoke on the horizon means fire, and saying that it means there will be war tomorrow. We could say that in the former case smoke indicates fire because of its causal connection with fire, while in the latter case smoke expresses a call to war because that is the non-natural meaning given to it by convention or by its place in a communicative practice. The recent defenses of semiotic objections presented by Anthony Booth, Jacob Sparks, and Mark Wells do not survive this distinction, as they either complain about non-semiotic facts that are indicated rather than expressed by markets, or they complain about semiotic features of markets, but these complaints inevitably collapse into weak consequentialist objections. But this result is not bad for anticommodificationists, as semiotic objections have dialectical disadvantages.
Sizing and dynamic modelling and simulation of a standalone PV based DC microgrid with battery storage system for a remote community in Nigeria
Authors: NDUKWE Cherechi , IQBAL Tarıq
Published: June 2019

In this paper, a solar PV powered DC microgrid is proposed and designed
for Umuokpo Amumara in Nigeria with 800 households and a number of community
installations which include churches, schools, shops, and a water pumping
system. The appropriate sizes of system components are determined to meet the
all-time load demand. A Techno-economic feasibility study was carried out in
Homer Pro to determine the energy needs of the community and as well the system size and configuration that best suits the
community. The energy requirement of the community was obtained to be 3.16MWh/day.
The battery storage system was also sized in this work and a battery system
capacity of 21,944Ah was able to meet the community energy requirement for up
to a day without renewable energy supply. The dynamic model of proposed the
microgrid was simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK to observe the system’s dynamic
response in view of the power quality, load impact, and battery storage
charging. The results obtained from the simulation depicted a stand-alone DC
microgrid that is capable of meeting the daily electrical energy requirements
of the system with good voltage stability. The PV system used in the system
could function at maximum power conditions even with variation in the weather
conditions. This was achieved by employing the Incremental Conductance MPPT
system.
