Authors: Villalonga Juan F. , Giovannini Sebastián , Caffaratti Guido , Lorefice Emiliano , Centeno Tomás Ries , del Pont Francisco Marcó
Published: June 2020

Introducción:

La colocación de un shunt ventrículo-peritoneal, a pesar de considerarse un procedimiento de baja complejidad, puede devenir en una serie de complicaciones. Nuestro equipo quirúrgico desarrolló e implementó a partir de junio de 2016 un nuevo protocolo. El objetivo del presente trabajo es: describir e ilustrar paso a paso la técnica quirúrgica utilizada y demostrar que el uso del “nuevo protocolo” disminuye significativamente las complicaciones asociadas al procedimiento.

Material y métodos:

Desde junio de 2014 a noviembre de 2017 se intervinieron 184 pacientes en relación a sistemas de derivación de LCR. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo que incluyó los pacientes con colocación primaria de shunt ventrículo-peritoneal (n=114). El seguimiento promedio fue de 14,2 meses (rango 6-38). Para el análisis estadístico se dividió a la muestra en 2 grupos: “protocolo previo” (n=59) y “nuevo protocolo” (n=55). Para describir la técnica quirúrgica se utilizó el archivo fotográfico y los partes quirúrgicos.

Resultados:

Se describió la técnica quirúrgica en 7 fases. La cantidad de pacientes con alguna complicación fue significativamente menor luego de implementar el “nuevo protocolo” (20% versus 39% respectivamente;p=0,04). En el grupo “nuevo protocolo” no se registró infección alguna asociada a shunt.

Conclusión:

Se presentó e ilustró, de manera clara y detallada, la técnica de colocación de shunt ventrículo-peritoneal en 7 fases. Esta técnica, junto a una serie de normas, constituyen un “nuevo protocolo”. La aplicación de éste disminuyó significativamente las complicaciones asociadas al procedimiento. La tasa de infección “cero” no es una utopía.

Authors: Schwarz Jenny , Rosenthal Katrin , Snajdrova Radka , Kittelmann Matthias , Lütz Stephan
Published: June 2020

Enzymes are versatile biocatalysts capable of performing selective reactions. The advantages of enzymes in comparison to classical chemistry including chemical catalysts are the generally milder process conditions and avoidance of harmful reactants. Their high selectivity and specificity
are especially beneficial for the enzymatic synthesis of new products with potential applications in drug research. Therefore, in the past decades, the utilization of isolated enzymes or whole-cell biocatalysts has spread through a growing number of biotechnological industries. The applications
comprise the production of chiral building blocks for the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry, the enzymatic synthesis of drug metabolites for testing of toxicity, function, biological activity, degradation and the production of biocatalytically modified natural products, which all play
a role in drug discovery. Especially Oreste Ghisalba's contributions, which paved the way for the industrial use of enzymes, will be considered in this review.
Taming the Beast of Biology: Synthetic Biology and Biological Systems Engineering
Authors: Panke Sven
Published: June 2020

Despite the availability of a variety of ' -omics ' technologies to support the system-wide analysis of industrially relevant microorganisms, the manipulation of strains towards an economically relevant goal remains a challenge. Remarkably, our ability to catalogue the participants
in and model ever more comprehensive aspects of a microorganism's physiology is now complemented by technologies that permanently expand the scope of engineering interventions that can be imagined. In fact, genome-wide editing and re-synthesis of microbial and even eukaryotic chromosomes have
become widely applied methods. At the heart of this emerging system-wide engineering approach, often labelled ' Synthetic Biology ' , is the continuous improvement of large-scale DNA synthesis, which is put to two-fold use: (i) starting ever more ambitious efforts to re-write existing and
coding novel molecular systems, and (ii) designing and constructing increasingly sophisticated library technologies, which has led to a renaissance of directed evolution in strain engineering. Here, we briefly review some of the critical concepts and technological stepping-stones of Synthetic
Biology on its way to becoming a mature industrial technology.
Membrane Filtration: Expanding the Areas of Application by Chemical Modification – Examples from the FHNW
Authors: Remmena Kirsten , Koeserb Joachim
Published: June 2020

Membrane filtration applications are omnipresent in production processes of the food and beverage industry, in pharmaceutical production and the petrochemical industry but also in water purification for drinking water production and wastewater treatment. The main separation principle
in membrane filtration is based on size exclusion which is dependent on the pore size of the membrane. Current developments based on chemical modification of these membranes have the goal to confer an additional chemical selectivity to membranes in order to broaden their areas of application.
Here we present two examples of chemical membrane modifications pursued at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) which are based on a) polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM or LbL) coatings and b) coating with stimulus responsive polymer brushes. Applications
of such modified filtration membranes are e.g. selectively gated filtration and phosphorous P-recovery from acidic disintegrated sewage sludge.
Organic laws and the principle of democracy in France and Spain
Authors: Szentgáli-Tóth Boldizsár
Published: June 2020

During the last decades, several countries have entrenched a special subcategory of law, which is adopted by stricter procedural rules than that of the ordinary legislative process. These laws are enacted by qualified majority, by the consent of the two chambers of the legislature, and they are subject to mandatory constitutional review before their promulgation, or additional safeguards are implemented in the ordinary legislative process. In this study, I compare the experiences of two crucial legal systems, France and Spain, which provide two different frameworks of qualified law. My aim is to identify the most contested issues from the legal nature of qualified laws, and to seek the proper solutions of these issues, as well as an ideal model of qualified law. My contribution focuses on the relationship between qualified laws and the principle of democracy, and aims to open up new perspectives in this regard.
Two factor authentication framework based on ethereum blockchain with dApp as token generation system instead of third-party on web application
Authors: Putri Marsha Chikita Intania , Sukarno Parman , Wardana Aulia Arif
Published: June 2020

Authentication is a method for securing an account by verifying the user identity by inputting email with a password. Two factor authentications is an authentication system that combines the first-factor authentication with the second factor. General two factor authentication by entering an email or username with a password are similar. However, two factor authentication requires additional information that must be inputted by the user. Additional information can be in the form of tokens or one-time passwords (OTP). Two factor authentications generally still uses third-party services to generate token or OTP still have vulnerable because can attacked from tokens steal through MITM and found that the generated tokens with the same value. Therefore, we propose a two-factor authentication framework based on ethereum blockchain with dApp as token generation system. Firstly, outcome from the analysis of the system, next succeeded in creating a two-factor authentication system without using third-parties. Second, token system generate up to 3164 different tokens  in one second and has been collisions tested. Third, security method to protect token from MITM attack. The attacker unable to get access caused all the checking are done by dApp user authentication.
Community pharmacists’ role in preventing opioid substitution therapy-related deaths: a qualitative investigation into current UK practice
Authors: Yadav R , Taylor Denise , Taylor G , Scott J
Published: June 2020

© 2019, The Author(s). Background Opioid substitution therapy involves prescribing of medical substitutes like methadone and buprenorphine to patients who are addicted to opioids. The majority of opioid substitution therapy dispensing in the UK is done by community pharmacists and they often see the patients on daily basis. It is unknown to what extent community pharmacists implement the policy to prevent overdose in patients receiving such treatment. Objective To explore what UK community pharmacists think about their role in preventing opium substitution-related deaths, their understanding of the risks associated with this substitution therapy and their views on what else community pharmacists could do to reduce such deaths. Setting Twenty four community pharmacists from two areas in UK (Worcestershire and Bath and North East Somerset). Method Between January and March 2013, community pharmacists providing opoin substitution therapy were interviewed in their pharmacy, using semi-structured interviews. Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis was used to analyse the data. Main outcome measure Thematically organised description of professional practice as reported by the participants against the clinical/practice guidance for opioid substitution therapy in UK. Results While participants felt their role to be essential in providing the service, they did not feel part of an integrated system. Participants’ ability to act in risk situations was affected by their knowledge, confidence in intervening in such situation, as well as the support they receive in providing the service. Conclusion Participants reported large differences in how ‘opioid substitution therapy’ services are provided in community pharmacy. Lack of knowledge among some pharmacists and lack of support in providing the service resulted in some patients at high risk not having their risks acted upon.

Authors: Taylor Denise , Haddington Nicholas , Hanning Lyn , Weiss Marjorie
Published: June 2020

Background: A relatively new development in simulation-based teaching in healthcare education is the use of simulation
manikins. While these have been used to teach clinical skills in various health disciplines, little has been reported on their use in
UK undergraduate pharmacy programmes.
Aims: To investigate the use of a simulation manikin to teach clinical skills to undergraduate pharmacy students.
Method: A fourth year unit was developed to teach clinical skills to undergraduate pharmacists, including communication,
consultation skills, clinical decision making and physical examination. A pre- and post-unit questionnaire was used to gather
data relating to student confidence, self rated competence and student experience.
Results: Student confidence and self-rated competence in key clinical skills increased significantly. High levels of acceptability
for this teaching method were reported.
Conclusion: This method of teaching clinical skills is effective and highly acceptable to undergraduate pharmacy students.
Further research is necessary to compare this to other methods.
Simulating impairment through virtual reality
Authors: McIntosh Jacqueline , Marques Bruno , Harkness Robyn
Published: June 2020

Research on architectural technology for health care has rapidly increased in recent years; however, little research has been conducted on the use of virtual reality for simulating impairment. This exploratory research maps the experiences of people with impairments in the often-overlooked corridors and waiting rooms of an emergency department. It questions whether the experience of an impairment can be usefully simulated for empathetic design. While using participatory processes to develop a virtual reality simulation of waiting areas, this research applies three representative impairments and then surveys 30 architectural designers to find the emotional responses of the unimpaired to the design intervention. While this research is preliminary, it is particularly valuable for the comprehension of proposed designs during the early planning and design phases, without costly and time-consuming use of full participatory processes. It finds there is significant potential for the use of virtual reality as a technology to simulate the experiences of these spaces by individuals with impairment, enabling empathetic design, and offers direction for future research.
Healing spaces: improving health and wellbeing for the elderly through therapeutic landscape design
Authors: Marques Bruno , McIntosh Jacqueline , Kershaw Chelsea
Published: June 2020

Existing research supports a wide range of positive effects for physical, mental and social wellbeing from outdoor exercise, particularly through engagement with nature, however few current landscapes facilitate exercise participation and efficacy for older persons and often require targeted design refinement to foster accessibility, inclusivity and sociability. In order to identify how therapeutic landscape design can be developed to best assist older persons' health and wellbeing, epidemiological data, injury statistics, and currently available outdoor fitness equipment that is specifically marketed for use by older persons were examined. A number of problematic design issues were identified including poor equipment design; failure to integrate cognitive tasks; and minimal integration of safe, age and ability-specific elements. This paper advocates rekindling the connection to public green space in order to foster disability prevention and promote rehabilitation in older persons. The incorporation of design elements that specifically address elements of prevalent morbidities and concerns, such as psychological restoration, stress reduction, attention recovery, the health and wellbeing of older persons in the community could be improved. Age-specific design suggestions include integrating interactive landscapes with ecological regenerative planning to assist with the prevention of common morbidities in older persons.

A PROSPECTIVE STUDY INVOLVING COMPARISON OF ACOTIAMIDE WITH RABEPRAZOLE VS. DOUBLE DOSE RABEPRAZOLE IN PATIENTS HAVING OVERLAPPING SYMPTOMS OF PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR REFRACTORY GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE AND FUNCTIONAL DYSPEPSIA
Authors: Bari Ayesha Abdul , Hassan Dr. Syed Ibrahim , Sahar Aaminah Najmus , Safiyya Syeda Batool , Rasheed Asif
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Functional dyspepsia (FD) is characterized by troublesome early satiety, epigastralgia or heart burn. It is often overlooked as the symptoms overlap with GERD. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Acotiamide+Rabeprazole vs. a double dose of Rabeprazole in Indian population.

Method: In this study 60 patients diagnosed with PPI refractory GERD (taking PPI>8weeks) and FD with no gastric or duodenal organic abnormalities were randomly allocated in two groups. Group 1 received a combination of Acotiamide (200mg/day) +Rabeprazole (20mg/day) and group 2 received a double dose of Rabeprazole (40mg/day). Follow ups were done every month for 3 consecutive months. The frequency and severity of symptoms were assessed using standard Izumo scale and FSSG scale.

Results: The total score and GERD score from the baseline were significantly reduced in group 1 however the reduction in FD score from baseline did not differ significantly in the two treatment groups according to F-scale. The proportion of patients with ≥ 50% reduction in the total score for three upper gastrointestinal symptoms (heart burn, epigastralgia, and epigastric fullness) in the izumo scale was 96.7% in group 1 and 33.3% in group 2. Significant difference were noticed between the two groups. No serious adverse events were observed.

Conclusion: The combination group of Acotiamide+Rabeprazole was found to be more effective than double dose of Rabeprazole in reducing the overlapping symptoms of PPI refractory GERD and FD.

Authors: Balladares-Burgos Jorge , García-Naranjo Ángela , Granda-Villamar Cristina
Published: June 2020

El presente artículo surge de la necesidad de conocer la situación de la producción científica en índices nacionales e internacionales de las universidades ecuatorianas desde el año 2003 al 2017. Estos índices revelan la desventaja de las universidades a nivel nacional e internacional. Las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) ecuatorianas se encuentran en puestos inferiores a nivel Iberoamericano (IBE), Latinoamericano y el Caribe (LAC) con respecto al número de publicaciones que han realizado. La investigación sobre los índices de creación científica de las IES del Ecuador permite vislumbrar el estado actual de la problemática. Además, en 2008 el Gobierno de Ecuador implementa una reforma de Educación Superior para incentivar la creación científica. Por consiguiente, el propósito del estudio es analizar el estado de producción científica entre las diez mejores universidades ecuatorianas, a nivel nacional e internacional desde el año 2003 al 2017. Asimismo, determinar la influencia de la reforma de Educación Superior del 2008 en cuanto a la producción científica de las IES. La metodología empleada en esta investigación es de carácter inductivo-deductivo, apoyada en la revisión bibliográfica y la hermenéutica. Se concluye que en el período 2003-2013 la Universidad San Francisco de Quito publicó más contenido científico a nivel nacional mientras que en 2013-2017 fue la Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas. También, se evidencia que las universidades subieron su producción investigativa a nivel IBE, LAC y nacional. Con estos datos se busca evidenciar los efectos de la implementación de políticas públicas que regulen la producción científica en las IES.

Published: June 2020

La implementación de nuevas tecnologías en cualquier tipo de institución surge de la necesidad de generar mejoras en los procesos que éstas realizan con el fin de ofrecer mejores productos y servicios. En este artículo se analiza la propuesta de factibilidad de una aplicación basada en la tecnología Blockchain y en los contratos inteligentes para reproducir el proceso de asignar títulos académicos a estudiantes sin necesidad de un ente central, terceras personas y procesos burocráticos mientras se aprovecha las características de estas tecnologías como la transparencia, la seguridad y la inmutabilidad. Así, se desarrolló dos contratos inteligentes complementarios entre sí aprovechando las características que existen actualmente para crear estructuras que representan objetos de la vida real y funciones que manejen estas estructuras como parámetros. Estos contratos se ejecutaron en un entorno virtualizado el que se simuló una cadena de bloques de Ethereum con el conjunto de herramientas de Truffle. Se evaluó los contratos inteligentes ingresando datos de prueba y con estos registros almacenados en la cadena de bloques se ejecutó el proceso de asignar los títulos académicos a los estudiantes a través de una función dentro del contrato inteligente principal. Para validar que el proceso se ejecutó correctamente, se realizó consultas a la cadena de bloques y se verificó que los registros de asignaciones de títulos se generaron y almacenaron en la cadena de bloques con éxito. De esta manera se pudo concluir que es factible el modelo propuesto basado en tecnología blockchain y contratos inteligentes.
Faith, Tsar and Fatherland: Division and War Mobilization During the First World War
Authors: Gado Celina
Published: June 2020

Faith, Tsar and Fatherland is an exploration of how religious, political, and ethnic differences influenced war mobilization in Russia prior to, and during, the First World War. Through the narrative of a sacred union, the Russian Imperial government unified an otherwise divided country into one cohesive whole, fighting to protect the Fatherland. In the name of patriotism, historically marginalized groups such as Russo-German settlers and Russian Muslims set aside political, religious, and cultural differences to fight alongside ethnic Russians in one unified effort to defeat the Central Powers.

Published: June 2020

This paper aimed to explore derivational affixes, more specifically the types of derivational affixes and the functions of the derivational affixes in the story of Rapunzel, which was written by the Brothers Grimm. The exploration of the affixes is urgent to conduct because it would assist learners of English in general in enriching their vocabulary items. This study was quantitative descriptive. The researchers collected complex words from the story and analyzed their derivational affixes. Results showed that, first, there existed 33 occurrences of words containing derivational affixes. Four of the 33 words contained three types of prefixes, namely en-, un- and re-, occurring twice, and 29 of the 33 contained suffixes, such as -ful, -ness, -able, -ly, -ing, -ed, -en, -ent, -less, -y, -ous, and -dom. Second, there were four functions of derivational affixes in the story of Rapunzel, namely noun formation, with 10 occurrences (30.4%); adjective formation, with eight occurrences (24.2%); verb formation, with seven occurrences (21.2%); and adverb formation, with eight occurrences (24.2%).Keywords: affix, derivational morphology, prefix

To understand the relationship between students’ proportional reasoning and covariational reasoning, clinical interview was conducted with four 7th grade students. Students participated in four interviews each of which took about three-four hours. The analysis of the data suggests the following results: First, all four students conceived ratio as ‘internalized ratio’ but how they reasoned with the ratio concept were somewhat different, which were categorized into three different types of proportional reasoning. Secondly, there were differences in how the four students conceived two quantities in graph construction and interpretation tasks. Specifically, two of the four students showed ‘coordination of values’ level, one showed ‘chunky continuous covariational reasoning’, and the other showed ‘smooth continuous covariational reasoning’. Thirdly, there was little relationship as to how students conceived ratio and how they reasoned with quantities in function task. All four students perceived the continuity of function in various ways. We have finalized our study by suggesting students' ways of partitioning and iterating of two quantities in proportion and function tasks as potential theoretical constructs to distinguish how students reason.

Kimia merupakan mata pelajaran yang masih kurang diminati oleh siswa sekolah menengah. Selain bersifat abstrak, kimia dianggap sebagai materi yang kurang dekat dengan kehidupan siswa. Model pembelajaran kimia berbasis STEM dapat digunakan meningkatkan ketertarikan siswa untuk mempelajari kimia. Namun, hingga kini belum banyak yang menerapkan STEM dalam proses belajar kimia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peluang dikembangkannya model STEM pada siswa SMA se-kota Mataram. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode survey menggunakan angket yang diisi oleh siswa dan guru kimia SMA di kota Mataram. Angket yang digunakan terdiri atas 2 jenis yaitu angket sikap siswa terhadap kimia dan angket pendapat guru tentang pengembangan model STEM di kota Mataram. Angket sikap terhadap kimia dibagi menjadi 4 kategori yaitu sikap belajar kimia, sikap terhadap praktikum kimia, kepercayaan terhadap kimia, dan kecenderungan untuk belajar kimia dimana masing-masing kategori diwakili oleh 3 pertanyaan. Angket divalidasi oleh 3 orang ahli di bidang pendidikan dan diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa angket valid untuk digunakan pada penelitian ini. Jumlah responden yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini adalah sebanyak 773 siswa dan 10 guru. Hasil survey menunjukkan persepsi negatif siswa untuk tiga kategori sikap yaitu sikap terhadap materi kimia, sikap terhadap praktikum kimia dan kecenderungan sikap untuk belajar kimia. Persepsi positif ditunjukkan pada satu kategori yaitu kepercayaan terhadap belajar kimia. Sebagian besar guru berpendapat bahwa belum pernah menerapkan model pembelajaran kimia berbasis STEM. Hasil survey ini menyimpulkan bahwa pengembangan model kimia berbasis STEM diperlukan untuk meningkatkan sikap siswa dalam belajar kimia.

Published: June 2020

Doing oral presentation has been a common classroom activity for university students including EFL students for almost any subject they are taking, but the writer found that students still had problems with their presentation and could not do their presentation effectively. In order to do the task successfully, students need metacognitive skill because they need to think about the task, plan for the task, monitor the task, and evaluate how well they have done the task. To reach this purpose, teachers need to facilitate the process through strategy instruction, especially metacognitive strategy instruction. By applying metacognitive strategies, students will be more aware of the importance of their active role in their learning. This paper is intended to present metacognitive strategy instruction adopting Oxford’ metacognitive strategies to enhance EFL students’ oral presentation skill in their speaking class and the students’ responses toward the strategy instruction. Based on the analysis of the students’ performance, video recording,  teacher evaluation, self evaluation, peer evaluation, and written reflection, they have done their oral presentation better, and they had positive responses toward metacognitive instruction and became more aware of themselves as learners who are responsible for their success.
