Comportamiento no verbal (CNV) y rasgos de personalidad
Authors: González Patricia Elices
Published: November 2021

Desde hace décadas profesionales de psiquiatría o psicología colaboran con los Cuerpos de Seguridad haciendo peritajes sobre sujetos o ayudando a realizar los denominados perfiles de personalidad, haciendo uso de entrevistas e instrumentos estandarizados. El principal problema de esta metodología reside en la necesidad de una colaboración directa de los sujetos evaluados. Durante la última década se están investigando formas alternativas de evaluar la personalidad, analizando la relación de determinados indicadores (objetos, lugares, espacios, deportes, redes sociales, etc) con los diferentes rasgos, a fin de poder perfilar a los sujetos sin una colaboración expresa. En la actualidad uno de los focos está encaminado al análisis de la relación entre comunicación no verbal y personalidad. No obstante, los estudios en este ámbito se han realizado principalmente desde dos vías, bien de forma genérica a través del juicio de los observadores, bien centralizada en los gestos realizados con las extremidades superiores. La presente investigación pretende seguir esa línea de estudio, basada en el análisis de diferentes movimientos corporales, a fin de centralizar los indicadores de comportamiento no verbal (CNV) teniendo en cuenta tanto los movimientos de los brazos y las manos como los movimientos de la cara. Por tanto, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar las diferencias relativas a los rasgos de personalidad en función de los comportamientos no verbales emitidos por los individuos durante una conversación social y hallar si existe o no relación entre estas dos variables (rasgos de personalidad y CNV). La muestra estuvo compuesta por 38 personas, 25 hombres y 13 mujeres, de entre 21 y 51 años, a quienes se les pidió por un lado que rellenasen el cuestionario de personalidad de forma on-line y que realizasen una entrevista personal, lo que permitió obtener material audiovisual del cual recoger los datos relativos al CNV. El análisis se realizó con el programa SPSS en su versión 22.0. Las medidas simétricas de concordancia indican que existen algunas asociaciones entre algunos rasgos de personalidad y algunos indicadores de CNV. Los analisis muestran, por ejemplo, que existe asociación entre la variable extraversión y los movimientos faciales o entre los movimientos adaptadores y el neuroticismo. La escased de estudios similares así como la obtención de resultados contradictorios con los existentes hacen necesario seguir trabajando en esta línea.
Rwanda after 1994. From Post-conflict to Development: Transforming Governance and Public Administration of Rwanda
Authors: Kauzya John-Mary
Published: November 2021

In this book Dr. Kauzya highlights how, from the ashes of the 1994 genocide, governance, Public Administration and Leadership of the country was reconstructed and transformed into an effective instrument of State direction and action for people-centered development. In order to effectively address the challenges that were specific to Rwanda at the time and in the future, an effective, responsive and accountable public service was progressively designed and put in place after 1994. The institutional, decentralized and coordinated structural arrangement that was designed and implemented ensure that the public of Rwanda effectively participated in the governance and administration of the country. Most importantly the history and traditional practices of the people of the country were examined and some of its practices redesigned to modernize public administration through home-grown, people-centered practices that the local people could easily relate to, own and operate. Scholars of Public administration in post-conflict countries could borrow from the experience of Rwanda captured in the book especially in terms of strong central government leadership, bringing the public back into public administration, and coordinating the central and local in the delivery of public services in a poor country. Before the Rwandan Public administration scholars and practitioners forget where the current system they are operating came from, they will benefit from the book. Many books about Rwanda after 1994 have focused on the conflict, war and genocide of 1994. Dr. Kauzya’s book focuses uniquely on how public governance administration, and leadership were rebuilt and transformed to make Rwanda one of Africa’s effective states today. The thread that runs throughout is the spirit and ideology of self-reliance which has formed the bedrock of the country’s governance and socio-politico-economic development efforts since 1994.

Território em disputa: capitães-mores no povoamento da vila de Lages, sul da Capitania de São Paulo (1776-1820)gens, levantada pelo capitão general da província de São Paulo, 1776-1820
Authors: Vicenzi Renilda
Published: November 2021

Com o caminho demarcado por Cristóvão Pereira de Abreu (1732) ligando o caminho de Viamão aos sertões de Curitiba pelo interior, intensifica a circulação no sul da Capitania de São Paulo de homens e mercadorias, especialmente gado vacum e muar, propiciando a fixação de locais para pouso e descanso dos animais, a formação de novas propriedades rurais e espaços urbanos. A nova ocupação garantiria o domínio territorial português num espaço em que era possível desenvolver a criação de animais e dinamizar a prática do tropeirismo. Entre os homens que se deslocaram pelo caminho, estava Antonio Correia Pinto, indicado pelo Morgado de Mateus como capitão-mor para iniciar a ocupação e o povoamento na recém-criada vila de Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres das Lagens, no extremo sul da Capitania. Neste texto abordamos ações dos capitães-mores, a partir das determinações dos governadores da Capitania de São Paulo, na formação e efetivação do caminho das tropas (Viamão- Curitiba) e da vila de Lages entre 1776-1820, através da análise de fontes como os maços populacionais, cartas patentes, cartas e ofícios dos governadores e dos capitães-mores e registros eclesiásticos, procurando demonstrar as relações políticas e econômicas que passam a se estabelecer no território desta vila.

Published: November 2021

This study aims to determine consumer satisfaction with barista services. The method in this study is qualitative using a descriptive approach. The method of data collection in this study was done through observation, interviews with a list of questions and documentation. The results of the study show that consumer satisfaction with barista services in general is satisfied with the barista services and coffee drinks served, but most of the guests who visit are only coffee drinkers, not coffee connoisseurs. This needs to be followed up so that consumers or guests can better understand the existence and services of Baristas, this is because consumers or guests are only coffee drinkers, not coffee connoisseurs and only choose the type of coffee provided. The existence of the Barista and the services available at the cafe only provide coffee based on the needs of consumers or guests and there is still a lack of availability of very limited and expensive equipment that must be spent for each equipment needed.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy as a treatment for medial collateral knee ligament calcification: case presentation and overview of the literature

Background

Calcification of the medial collateral ligament is an uncommon cause of medial knee pain. In the few case reports that have been written, in multiple cases various conservative treatments have been assessed, often with an unsatisfactory result, leading to the excision of the toothpaste-like calcification. The conservative treatment consists of a short period of ice, analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, a local corticosteroid injection or ultrasound-guided lavage.

Case presentation

A 40-year-old man with recurring medial knee pain since 2 years was diagnosed with medial collateral ligament calcification of the right knee. The pain was located near the medial epicondyle of the femur. The range of motion was maximal with painful knee flexion and moderate tenderness at the proximal medial collateral ligament. The pain started after a bicycle crash and the diagnosis was made by means of an MRI. Initially, the pain briefly improved after a local corticosteroid injection and physiotherapy, but reoccurred during running. The subsequent physical examination and ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis. The treatment consisted of a combination of physiotherapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy, performed twice with an interval of 71 days. The follow-up after 5 months revealed that the patient had regained optimal knee function and was pain free at rest and during running.

Conclusion

Symptomatic medial collateral ligament calcification is a rarely diagnosed condition, mostly treated surgically without adequate conservative therapy. This case report suggests that conservative therapy consisting of physiotherapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy can be successful in treating medial collateral ligament calcification.

К вопросу о фискальной нагрузке различных доходных групп населения
Authors: Ордынская Е.В. , Черковец М.В.
Published: November 2021

Распределение налоговой нагрузки между различными доходными группами населения тесно связано с реализацией принципа справедливости налогообложения. В России наибольшее налоговое бремя приходится на наименее обеспеченные группы населения. Растущая поляризация доходов населения, усугубившаяся пандемией, влечет необходимость реформирования налоговой системы, прежде всего, в области налогообложения доходов физических лиц. Данной проблеме посвящено достаточно большое количество исследований, однако единого мнения авторам работ, посвященных указанной теме, сформировать пока не удалось. В связи с вышеизложенными обстоятельствами авторами данной статьи предпринимается попытка предложить возможные направления трансформации отечественной налоговой системы, которые позволили бы более равномерно распределить налоговую нагрузку между различными группами населения. Результаты исследования, выводы и отдельные предложения могут быть полезны государственным органам при выработке основных направлений реформирования налоговой политики Российской Федерации.

CONSEQUÊNCIAS DO USO INDISCRIMINADO DE MEDICAMENTOS COMO PREVENÇÃO DO COVID-19: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Silva Marinho Laila Sabrina , Nascimento Paz Francisco Adalberto do
Published: November 2021

No início do mês de dezembro de 2019, foram relatados os primeiros casos de uma pneumonia de origem ainda desconhecida na cidade de Wuhan, na China. Através de estudos, concluiu-se que se tratava de um novo coronavírus que, posteriormente, foi chamado de coronavírus da síndrome respiratória aguda grave 2 ou SARS-CoV-2. Objetivou-se analisar as publicações científicas sobre o uso indiscriminado de medicamentos como prevenção da covid-19. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada durante o período de abril a novembro de 2021. Para coleta dos dados, utilizou-se a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde – BVS, nas seguintes bases: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), com os seguintes descritores: Coronavírus, SARS-cov-2, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, 2019-ncov. Os estudos foram agrupados em duas categorias, conforme a similaridade dos mesmos: Desafios e medidas adotadas no enfrentamento da covid-19 e Intervenções farmacológicas e seus efeitos adversos. Concluindo, as evidências científicas demonstram que a utilização de algumas medicações são ineficazes no tratamento de pacientes hospitalizados com covid-19 e que, o uso indiscriminado de tais medicações resulta na ocorrência de eventos adversos, prolongando assim o tempo de internação de pacientes infectados, o que gera gastos e sobrecarga nos sistemas de saúde.
Daylight modeling in complex environments considering the angular distribution of sky luminance
Authors:   , García Ruiz Ignacio
Published: November 2021

The general objective of this thesis is the modeling of daylight in complex environments, such as cities. This requires precise knowledge, both geometric and photometric, of the environment and of the sources of radiation or illumination. For this reason, four partial objectives have been set: 1. Modeling of irradiance and illuminance sources considering the effects of the complex environment. 2. Modeling of luminous efficacy. 3. Modeling of typical daylighting conditions. 4. Development of an imaging system for fast and high spatial resolution measurement of luminance distribution in complex environments.The research carried out in order to achieve the aforementioned partial objectives have resulted in seven articles. These papers describe in detail the theoretical basis of the issues addressed, the experimental data acquisition systems used, the quality control procedures applied, the obtained results and the conclusions, which will be summarized as a whole as the relevant contributions of this thesis.
CHAT framework to study affordances in CALL environments
Authors: Dey-Plissonneau Aparajita
Published: November 2021

This paper proposes to explore the theory of affordances in the light of cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) to study affordances in complex Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) environments. The term ‘affordance’ designates an action possibility that is offered by an environment or an object to an actor in the environment either “for good or ill” (Gibson, 1979). It depends not only on the inherent characteristics of the environment but also on the users’ perception and action capabilities. CALL affordances are said to be a unique combination of social, educational, linguistic, and technological affordances (Blin, 2016a). However, there is limited research to date that looks at affordances from an ecological perspective linking the micro moment-to-moment interaction levels with the macro level within which they are embedded in educational contexts (Blin, 2016a). This paper explores the analytical tools of CHAT (Leontyev, 1978; Engeström, 1987) as particularly suitable to investigate affordances at the macro, meso and micro levels of technology-mediated sociocultural educational contexts in CALL.

Hijos que no quieren saber nada de sus padres, ¿una nueva causa de desheredación?
Authors: Ribera Blanes Begoña
Published: November 2021

Las modernas estructuras familiares propician situaciones de pérdida de contacto o de mala relación entre padres e hijos. La actitud de los hijos, unas veces pasiva y otras violenta, es reprobada por los padres para quienes no es suficiente con que estas conductas tengan consecuencias desde el punto de vista de la moral o la ética, sino que buscan en el ordenamiento jurídico, y más concretamente en el derecho de familia y sucesiones, instrumentos legales con los que hacer frente a estas actitudes de los hijos que consideran inapropiadas y les provocan sufrimiento. Nuestro Código civil no está adaptado a la realidad social del momento, de ahí que estas actitudes de los hijos no siempre tienen encaje normativo en las causas que el ordenamiento prevé para poder extinguir los alimentos, desheredar o revocar las donaciones recibidas por estos. Mientras la reforma normativa se produce, ha sido la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Supremo la que ha adaptado la legislación a la realidad social, al calificar el maltrato psicológico como causa de desheredación, al permitir la revocación de donaciones por ingratitud debido al maltrato del donatario hacia el donante y al confirmar que es posible  extinguir la pensión de alimentos cuando la falta de relación entre padres e hijos mayores de edad sea imputable, de modo principal y relevante, a los hijos. Ya solo queda el último paso, cual es, considerar que la ausencia de relación imputable exclusivamente a los hijos pueda privarles de la legítima.
Ecclesiastes 5-12
Authors: Weeks Stuart
Published: November 2021

This volume completes Stuart Weeks’ commentary on the book of Ecclesiastes, also known as Qoheleth. Weeks draws together all the relevant tools for understanding this complex wisdom book in the Old Testament. As is the hallmark of the ICC no stone is left unturned as Weeks considers the full range of linguistic, textual, archaeological, literary and theological interpretations of the text.

Week incorporates recent interpretation alongside the history of research to examine the text of Ecclesiastes 6-12 in the closest possible, offering a reading of what may have be the original writer’s linguistic and theological intent.

The volume is a companion to Weeks’ previous commentary on chapters 1-5 of Ecclesiastes, which also contains his exhaustive bibliography of works relevant to the study of the text.
Jesus and the Empire of God
Authors: Froelich Margaret
Published: November 2021

Margaret Froelich examines the Gospel of Mark using political and empire-critical methodologies, following postcolonial thinkers in perceiving a far more ambivalent message than previous pacifistic interpretations of the text. She argues that Mark does not represent an entirely new way of thinking about empire or cosmic structures, but rather exhibits concepts and structures with which the author and his audience are already familiar in order to promote the Kingdom of God as a better version of the encroaching Roman Empire.

Froelich consequently understands Mark as a response to the physical, ideological, and cultural displacement of the first Roman/Judean War. By looking to Greek, Roman, and Jewish texts to determine how first-century authors thought of conquest and expansion, Froelich situates the Gospel directly in a historical and socio-political context, rather than treating that context as a mere backdrop; concluding that the Gospel portrays the Kingdom of God as a conquering empire with Jesus as its victorious general and client king.
A Jewish Apocalyptic Framework of Eschatology in the Epistle to the Hebrews
Authors: Lee Jihye
Published: November 2021

In contrast to scholarly belief that the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews envisions the transcendent, heavenly world as the eschatological inheritance of God’s people, Jihye Lee argues that a version of an Urzeit-Endzeit eschatological framework—as observed in some Jewish apocalyptic texts—provides a plausible background against which the arguments of Hebrews are most comprehensively explained. Instead of transcendence to the heavenly world that will come after the destruction of the shakable creation, Lee suggests the possibility of a more dualistic new world.

By first defining Urzeit-Endzeit eschatology, Lee is then able to explore its place in both pre and post 70 CE Second Temple Judaism. In examining Enoch, the Qumran Texts, Jubilees, the Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum, 4 Ezra, and 2 Baruch and finally the Book of Revelation, Lee compares a multitude of eschatological visions and the different depictions of the transformation of the world, judgement, and the new world to come. Bringing these texts together to analyse the issue of God’s Rest in Hebrews, and the nature of the Unshakable Kingdom, Lee concludes that Hebrews envisions the kingdom as consisting of both the revealed heavenly world and the renewed creation as the eschatological venue of God’s dwelling place with his people.
Horror Films for Children
Authors: Lester Catherine
Published: November 2021

Children and horror are often thought to be an incompatible meeting of audience and genre, beset by concerns that children will be corrupted or harmed through exposure to horror media. Nowhere is this tension more clear than in horror films for adults, where the demonic child villain is one of the genre’s most enduring tropes. However, horror for children is a unique category of contemporary Hollywood cinema in which children are addressed as an audience with specific needs, fears and desires, and where child characters are represented as sympathetic protagonists whose encounters with the horrific lead to cathartic, subversive and productive outcomes.

Horror Films for Children examines the history, aesthetics and generic characteristics of children’s horror films, and identifies the ‘horrific child’ as one of the defining features of the genre, where it is as much a staple as it is in adult horror but with vastly different representational, interpretative and affective possibilities. Through analysis of case studies including blockbuster hits (Gremlins), cult favourites (The Monster Squad) and indie darlings (Coraline), Catherine Lester asks, what happens to the horror genre, and the horrific children it represents, when children are the target audience?
Christopher Nolan
Authors: Goh Robbie B. H.
Published: November 2021

Christopher Nolan is the writer and director of Hollywood blockbusters like The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, and also of arthouse films like Memento and Inception. Underlying his staggering commercial success however, is a darker sensibility that questions the veracity of human knowledge, the allure of appearance over reality and the latent disorder in contemporary society.

This appreciation of the sinister owes a huge debt to philosophy and especially modern thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Jacques Derrida. Taking a thematic approach to Nolan’s oeuvre, Robbie Goh examines how the director’s postmodern inclinations manifest themselves in non-linearity, causal agnosticism, the threat of social anarchy and the frequent use of the mise en abyme, while running counter to these are narratives of heroism, moral responsibility and the dignity of human choice. For Goh, Nolan is a ‘reluctant postmodernist’. His films reflect the cynicism of the modern world, but with their representation of heroic moral triumphs, they also resist it.
Günther Anders’ Philosophy of Technology
Authors: Babich Babette
Published: November 2021

Gunter Anders' Philosophy of Technology is the first comprehensive exploration of the ground-breaking work of German thinker Gunter Anders. Anders' philosophy has become increasingly prescient in our digitised, technological age as his work predicts the prevalence of social media, ubiquitous surveillance and the turn to big data. Anders' ouevre also explored the technologies of nuclear power and the biotech concerns for the human and transhuman condition which have become so central to current theory.

Babette Babich argues that Anders offers important resources on streaming digital media through his writings on radio, television and film and is, unusually, both a comprehensive and profound thinker. Anders' relationship with key philosophers like Hannah Arendt and Walter Benjamin and his thinking on Goethe, Nietzsche and Rilke is also explored with a focus on the deep impact he made on his peers. It reflects specifically on the intersection of Anders’ thought Heidegger and the Frankfurt school and how influential a figure he was on the landscape of 20th century philosophy. A compelling rehabilitation of a thinker with profound contemporary relevance
Precarious Modernities
Authors: Strava Cristiana
Published: November 2021

Using rich ethnographic detail, Precarious Modernities offers an immersive account of the multiple scales and entangled actors involved in the objectification and instrumentalization of Casablanca’s margins as part of ongoing and contingent processes of ‘modernization’. Through a focus on the everyday lives and spatial materialities of Hay Mohammadi’s inhabitants, and their interaction with heritage activists, international development agendas, and technocratic planning regimes, the book documents how the depoliticization of the urban margins aids the consolidation of deeply unequal social, spatial, and economic orders.

The result is a unique account of the political continuities, security logics, economic ideologies and competing forces that shape the possibilities open to precarious communities in a storied and sprawling metropolis. As marginalized inhabitants develop pragmatic ways of appropriating or resisting powerful statist and developmentalist agendas, unanticipated and novel forms of political engagement emerge, signaling the revival and reconfiguration of notions of class through creative and alternative spatial practices and their attendant vocabularies.
Beyond and Before, Updated and Expanded Edition
Authors: Hegarty Paul , Halliwell Martin
Published: November 2021

The original edition of Beyond and Before extends an understanding of “progressive rock” by providing a fuller definition of what progressive rock is, was and can be. Called by Record Collector “the most accomplished critical overview yet” of progressive rock and one of their 2011 books of the year, Beyond and Before moves away from the limited consensus that prog rock is exclusively English in origin and that it was destroyed by the advent of punk in 1976. Instead, by tracing its multiple origins and complex transitions, it argues for the integration of jazz and folk into progressive rock and the extension of prog in Kate Bush, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree and many more.

This 10-year anniversary revised edition continues to further unpack definitions of progressive rock and includes a brand new chapter focusing on post-conceptual trends in the 2010s through to the contemporary moment. The new edition discusses the complex creativity of progressive metal and folk in greater depth, as well as new fusions of genre that move across global cultures and that rework the extended form and mission of progressive rock, including in recent pop concept albums. All chapters are revised to keep the process of rethinking progressive rock alive and vibrant as a hybrid, open form.
Colour Films in Britain
Authors: Street Sarah , Johnston Keith M. , Frith Paul , Rickards Carolyn
Published: November 2021

The story of Eastmancolor's arrival on the British filmmaking scene is one of intermittent trial and error, intense debate and speculation before gradual acceptance. This book traces the journey of its adoption in British Film and considers its lasting significance as one of the most important technical innovations in film history.

Through original archival research and interviews with key figures within the industry, the authors examine the role of Eastmancolor in relation to key areas of British cinema since the 1950s; including its economic and structural histories, different studio and industrial strategies, and the wider aesthetic changes that took place with the mass adoption of colour.

Their analysis of British cinema through the lens of colour produces new interpretations of key British film genres including social realism, historical and costume drama, science fiction, horror, crime, documentary and even sex films. They explore how colour communicated meaning in films ranging from the Carry On series to Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979), from Lawrence of Arabia (1962) to A Passage to India (1984), and from Goldfinger (1964) to 1984 (1984), and in the work of key directors and cinematographers of both popular and art cinema including Nicolas Roeg, Ken Russell, Ridley Scott, Peter Greenaway and Chris Menges.

The aim of this paper is to obtain a compact and optimal fuzzy rule-based model from observation data by utilizing the Genetic algorithm technique. The approach is optimized by applying Genetic Algorithms, owing to its capability of searching irregular and high dimensional solution spaces. Genetic Algorithms has been applied to learn consequent part of fuzzy rules and models with fixed number of rules. In the work we propose a Genetic algorithm approach to a non-linear air conditioning system for the construction of optimal fuzzy rules in two steps. First, fuzzy clustering is applied to obtain an initial rule based model having pre-calculated number of rules with antecedents only. In the second step, the regions of rule-consequents are obtained by a binary coded Genetic Algorithm which leads to the extraction of an optimal rule based model.

This paper is concerned the flow simulation and performance analysis of the Centrifugal Compressor Using CFD – Tool. The complex internal flow of centrifugal compressor can be well analyzed, and the unique design system needs to be developed. It should be early to use the interface and also flexible for input and output. A 3-D flow simulation of turbulent – fluid flow is presented to visualize the flow pattern in-terms of velocity, streamline and pressure distribution on the blade surface are graphically interpreted. The standard K- e turbulence model and the simple model algorithm were chosen for turbulence model and pressure distribution well determined. The simulation was steady Heat transfer and moving reference frame was used to consider the impeller interaction under high resolution. Furthermore, A computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) 3-D simulation is done to analyze the impeller head and efficiency required of centrifugal compressor. The impeller is rotated for a constant revolution and mass flow rate, in this study initially the geometry of centrifugal compressor impeller is created by an ANSYS Vista CCD, and the Blade modeller done by Bladegen, Finally, CFD analysis was performed in ANSYS CFX using the ANSYS Turbo grid meshing tool. According to the analysis, as the number of impeller blades increases, so does the value of the head and power imparted, as well as the impeller’s efficiency.

Authors: Muhd Helmi Muhd Alwi , Bachok Norsa'adah , Hussain Suhaimi
Published: November 2021

Objectives: The primary and secondary objectives were to compare the glycaemic control and frequency of hypoglycaemia between continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) and self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG). Methods: A single centre, randomised, parallel-group controlled trial was conducted involving twenty-two type one Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patients with the mean age of 13.8 years assigned to either intervention or control group. All respondents wore the CGMS device at the beginning of the study. Intervention group (n=11) had their insulin adjusted based on the CGMS data, while the control group (n=11) was based on SMBG. Monthly average blood sugar level (BSL) and monthly mean hypoglycemic events per week (HE/wk) were measured at baseline, first month, second month, and third month. HbA1c levels were measured at baseline and in the third month. Results: The baseline characteristics were similar. The data were analysed using repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA). The mean difference of HbA1c within the group was not statistically significant with p=0.322. There were significant differences in the monthly mean HE/wk within and between groups, p=0.004, and p=0.037. Conclusion: In conclusion, CGMS is equivalent to SMBG in optimising glycaemic control but is more effective in detecting hypoglycaemia in children.
