O artigo de ciência como fato e artefato cultural
Authors: Mostafa Solange Puntel
Published: March 2017

Para toda uma tradição de autores documentalistas, a história das revistas científicas começa como um prolongamento das cartas científicas do século 17; ambos os séculos, 17 e 18 são séculos de nascimento da ciência moderna, com o empirismo inglês e o racionalismo francês. As sociedades científicas também datam desta época em que os métodos indutivos ou experimentais estão se configurando como os métodos propriamente científicos. Especialmente o século 18 entrou para a história como um século de viagens, turismo, livrarias, cafés e muitas descobertas científicas. Enciclopedistas na França, empirismo e método indutivo na Inglaterra, nascia também o sonho de entender e dominar a natureza através do método criado por Bacon, a indução: partindo-se dos fatos concretos, tais como se dão na experiência, ascende-se até as formas gerais, que constituem suas leis e causas. Assim em meio a esta fermentação cultural do mundo moderno nascem as revistas cientificas como prolongamento das cartas iluministas; Cartas de Newton podem ser encontradas no relato de Ziman (1981, p.106). As Philosophical Transactions, revista da Royal Society of London, de 1665 consistiam nas cartas trocadas entre membros da comunidade e correspondentes.

Police Brutality and Black Health: Setting the Agenda for Public Health Scholars
Authors: Alang Sirry , McAlpine Donna , McCreedy Ellen , Hardeman Rachel
Published: March 2017

We investigated links between police brutality and poor health outcomes among Blacks and identified five intersecting pathways: (1) fatal injuries that increase population-specific mortality rates; (2) adverse physiological responses that increase morbidity; (3) racist public reactions that cause stress; (4) arrests, incarcerations, and legal, medical, and funeral bills that cause financial strain; and (5) integrated oppressive structures that cause systematic disempowerment.

Public health scholars should champion efforts to implement surveillance of police brutality and press funders to support research to understand the experiences of people faced with police brutality. We must ask whether our own research, teaching, and service are intentionally antiracist and challenge the institutions we work in to ask the same.

To reduce racial health inequities, public health scholars must rigorously explore the relationship between police brutality and health, and advocate policies that address racist oppression.
New Results on Multiple Solutions for Intuitionistic Fuzzy Differential Equations
Authors: Wang Lei , Guo Sicong
Published: March 2017

The first-order fuzzy differential equations with intuitionistic fuzzy initial valued problem is studied. Firstly, with the help of (α, β)-cut set, the distance metric and the Hukuhara difference between intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are defined, and on this basis the concept of differentiability for the intuitionistic fuzzy number-valued functions is defined and a corresponding theorem is derived. Then, according to the selection of derivative the first order intuitionistic fuzzy differential equations is interpreted. Finally, an example of first-order linear intuitionistic fuzzy differential equations is solved, and the results show that there are four different solutions.
Mapping Buried Aquifers with HTEM in the Fort McMurray, Alberta Region
Authors: Eadie Timothy W. , Prikhodko Alexander , Izarra Carlos
Published: March 2017

Heliborne time-domain electromagnetic systems (HTEM) have proven to be effective tools in mapping sub-surface resistivity. As these systems are able to measure increasingly earlier time channels after the waveform's turn-off, they improve their ability to resolve resistivity contrasts in near-surface geology. This is demonstrated with the VTEM system over the Aspen property, near Fort McMurray, Alberta. This area provides a useful setting in mapping near-surface resistivity variations, specifically the location and geometry of the Pemmican Valley aquifer. This begins with the a Tau constant analysis of the earliest time channels of the VTEM decay curve that laterally mapped the Pemmican Valley aquifer and the existence of a shallower, previously unmapped, east-west trending aquifer. This is confirmed through 1D inversions of the dataset. The 1D inversion models accurately resolve the main near-surface geo-electrical units within the Aspen property when compared to resistivity well logs and a ground DC resistivity survey. Analysis of the stitched 1D inversion section maps provides useful resistivity maps that reflect the geological model.
From Manual to Automatic AEM Bedrock Mapping
Authors: Anschütz Helgard , Vöge Malte , Lysdahl Asgeir K. , Bazin Sara , Sauvin Guillaume , Pfaffhuber Andi , Berggren Anne-Lise
Published: March 2017

An extensive airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey was carried out in Norway with the primary purpose to obtain information of depth to bedrock in areas with little or no prior geotechnical knowledge. We present different approaches to extract a bedrock model from the high-resolution time-domain AEM data, including both automated and manual procedures. It was found that in the area of investigation a user-driven approach of manual bedrock picking was the most suitable, taking into account the strongest vertical resistivity gradient and geological information as additional information. A semi-automatic, statistical method, called Localized Smart Interpretation (LSI), is also presented and discussed. This method, while not included in the original bedrock model for the entire area, showed promising results while using less time compared to the fully manual approach. It is recommended that LSI be considered in future projects of similar scope.

Published: March 2017

To date, only a few cases of Demodex gatoi demodecosis have been reported around the world. D. gatoi is a species of mites that infest cats. The mite is much smaller than D. cati and inhabits the superficial keratin skin layer rather than hair follicles. We describe D. gatoi infestation in a young male British Shorthair cat with pruritic dermatosis treated chronically with immunosuppressive drugs for food allergy. In this report we present the diagnostic process and problems associated with the treatment of D. gatoi infestation in a cat undergoing immunosuppressive therapy
Apuntes sobre la posibilidad de objetividad en la crítica de arte (inspirados en Joseph Margolis)
Authors: Pessis García Begoña
Published: March 2017

Especialmente ante la consideración de las obras de arte como objetos Intencionales, radicalmente distintos de los objetos meramente físicos, surge la pregunta acerca de la posibilidad de objetividad en los juicios críticos sobre arte. Con esta interrogante como hilo conductor, en el siguiente trabajo se intentará sostener que, sobre todo en el marco de la tradición analítica de este problema, la propuesta de Margolis parece ser la apuesta más sólida, ya que logra responder a los desafíos que sugiere el peculiar carácter de las obras de arte. Además, propondré que el concepto de intersubjetividad histórica permite hacerse cargo adecuadamente de los retos y dificultades que suponen las obras de arte y enunciaré las ventajas de este término en relación con el de objetividad.
Productivity of Senior Dental Students Engaged in Comprehensive Care: A Seven‐Year Follow‐Up Study
Authors: Blalock John S. , Callan Richard S. , Mollica Anthony G.
Published: March 2017

The aims of this study were to determine the trend of senior dental students’ rate of production of clinical procedures performed in the comprehensive care clinic at one U.S. dental school and to compare that trend to what was reported immediately following inception of that clinic. In addition, total clinic revenues collected were recorded and compared. The periods used for comparisons were 2005 and 2006 combined, the last years before introduction of comprehensive care (called “pre‐comp care”); 2007 and 2008 combined, the first two years of comprehensive care (called “post‐comp care”); and subsequent years through 2014. The number of procedures and total charges were tracked in the electronic health record, and the total number of student‐hours was calculated by multiplying the number of students in the class by the total number of available clinic hours. The rate calculated in this way was then multiplied by a factor of 1,000 for ease of interpretation. The results showed a generally upward trend and a significant increase from post‐comp care to 2014 for all procedures combined and for indirect restorations. There was a generally downward trend and a significant decrease from post‐comp care to 2014 for direct restorations, extractions, and root planing. There was some up and down fluctuation but no significant change from post‐comp care to 2014 for exams. In terms of all procedures, the rate per student/1,000 clinic hours increased from approximately 227 to 419, an 85% increase over seven years. These results show that implementation of the comprehensive care clinic model of clinical education has increased the total clinical productivity of senior dental students at this dental school. Additional studies are indicated to determine the proper balance between a quality education and the financial capabilities of the institution.
Особливості виникнення та перебігу електролітних порушень в гострий період інсульту у хворих на цукровий діабет
Authors: Halushko O.A.
Published: March 2017

Актуальність. Електролітні порушення, що виникають у хворих на гострий інсульт (ГІ), є однією з причин ускладнень перебігу ГІ. Супутній цукровий діабет (ЦД) впливає на тяжкість перебігу інсульту та збільшує показники летальності. Мета дослідження: дослідити частоту, особливості розвитку та лікування електролітних порушень у хворих на ГІ на фоні супутнього ЦД. Матеріали та методи. Проведений ретроспективний аналіз лікування 416 пацієнтів із ГІ, яких розподілили на три групи: 1) хворі зі встановленим до початку інсульту ЦД; 2) хворі з уперше виявленим ЦД; 3) хворі без ЦД. Другим етапом було проведено пілотне дослідження з аналізом частоти порушень обміну магнію і фосфатів у хворих на ГІ (20 хворих на ГІ на фоні ЦД та 10 хворих на ГІ без ЦД). Результати. Серед 416 хворих на ГІ в анамнезі був наявний ЦД у 110 пацієнтів (26,4  %), ще у 48 хворих (11,5  %) діагноз ЦД був встановлений уперше. Таким чином, частота виявлення ЦД у хворих на ГІ становила майже 38,0 %, що набагато вище, ніж у відповідній віковій популяції. Загалом різні види електролітних порушень спостерігалися у 258 із 349 (73,9 %) пацієнтів з ГІ, при цьому у хворих із розладами вуглеводного обміну ці порушення виникали вірогідно частіше, ніж у хворих без таких. Гіпомагніємія (< 0,8 ммоль/л) спостерігалася у 2 з 10 хворих (20 %) на ГІ без вуглеводних порушень та у 6 з 20 хворих (30 %) на ГІ із супутнім ЦД. Гіпофосфатемія (< 0,8 ммоль/л) не була виявлена у хворих на ГІ без ЦД та лише у 2 хворих на ГІ із супутнім ЦД. Висновки. У разі розвитку ГІ на фоні ЦД електролітні порушення виникають вірогідно частіше, ніж у хворих без такої коморбідної патології. Потрібні подальші дослідження для з’ясування ролі окремих електролітних розладів (зокрема, магнію і фосфатів) у перебігу і наслідках ГІ.

Стаття присвячена впливу різних спосібів інфузійної терапії та адреноміметичної корекції на показники транспорту та споживання кисню, показники периферичного кровообігу в постраждалих із розвитком синдрому поліорганної недостатності (СПОН) унаслідок тяжкої політравми. Використання протоколу модифікованої інфузійної терапії з урахуванням стадії травматичної хвороби при розвитку СПОН дозволяє підтримувати рівень транспорту кисню понад 550 мл/хв/м2, його споживання понад 150 мл/хв/м2; відновити певний рівень рН артеріальної крові; нормалізувати показники лактату в артеріальній крові; досягти референтних рівней градієнтів PvCO2-PaCO2, Tperif-Tatm, Tcentr-Tperif, Tskin diff, підтримувати темп діурезу понад 1 мл/кг/год. Використання модифікованої інфузійної терапії та адреноміметичної корекції з урахуванням стадій травматичної хвороби в умовах ранньої та пізньої СПОН дозволяє досягти транспорту кисню понад 600 мл/хв/м2; рівня сатурації у верхній порожнистій вені понад 70 % поряд зі зниженням показників екстракції кисню, що поєднувалось зі зменшенням рівня лактату артеріальної крові та зростанням рівня ВЕ. Отримані результати свідчать про те, що застосування протоколу модифікованої інфузійної терапії та адреноміметичної корекції з урахуванням стадії травматичної хвороби в умовах СПОН дозволяє покращити периферичний кровообіг, про що свідчить зростання градієнтів Tperif-Tatm і темпу діурезу, а також зниження градієнтів Tperif-Tatm, Tcentr-Tperif, Tskin diff.
Ibero-American Systems for the Dissemination of Scholarly Journals: A Contribution to Public Knowledge Worldwide
Authors: Cetto Ana Maria , Alonso-Gamboa José Octavio , Córdoba González Saray
Published: March 2017

A vast amount of scholarly journals are edited in Ibero-America, providing altogether a rich picture of the scientific production in this region. However, these journals have traditionally not been part of the international scientific mainstream. Different solutions have been sought to increase their access and visibility, using existing information systems and creating new ones tailored to the region's needs, as well as developing new electronic journals. An analysis of a sample of Latin American electronic journals highlights some features aimed at increasing their visibility. We also present the main features of 30 scientific Ibero-American online libraries and discuss their influence on editorial practices throughout the region. Some conclusions are drawn on the challenges and opportunities faced by journals as they seek to strengthen their presence on the international scene.
Who Knows What, When? Current and Desired Capacities for Online Journal Statistics Gathering and Dissemination
Authors: MacGregor James B. , Kosavic Andrea
Published: March 2017

As part of the national Synergies project, the Statistics Working Group was formed to investigate statistical reporting mechanisms used by participating institutions, to research online journal-specific reporting needs, and to form a common model for statistical reporting and the sharing of usage data across Canada. The working group informally compared the statistics-gathering range of Open Journal Systems (ojs) and the Érudit Consortium publishing platform; they also surveyed Canadian and international scholarly journal stakeholders to obtain a better understanding of their needs. Respondents were asked about desired types of statistics captured, preferred groupings, preferred harvesting frequency, and their level of satisfaction with available tools. This article describes the results of the platform comparison and the survey, and it provides a set of recommendations intended for the Synergies project but applicable elsewhere.
A report detailing the development of a university-based knowledge mobilization unit that enhances research outreach and engagement
Authors: Phipps David
Published: March 2017

This field note presents reflections from the perspective of a knowledge mobilization (KMb) practitioner after 5 years of developing and delivering KMb services in a university-based environment.  This field note is a “how to” based on experience from the field of KMb practice and places that experience in the context of academic literature. The paper concludes that KMb is not a single event or process but a system, a suite of services that work together to support the multi-directional connection of researchers with decision makers. The six KMb services that comprise the KMb system are informed by four broad KMb methods: producer push, user pull, knowledge exchange and co-production.  Examples of each KMb service are provided along with key observations that allow others interested in developing institutional KMb support services to implement these services in their own context. The field note concludes with clear recommendations for individuals and organizations interested in developing their own system of KMb services.

E-readers are for Reading: An Informal Consideration of Reading’s Next Steps
Authors: Kircz Joost
Published: March 2017

The e-reader is sweeping the book and library world like a storm, with some theorists arguing that the end of the publisher, the end of the library, and even the end of the book are near. Do e-readers bring an end to literacy as we now know it, or are there avenues of inquiry we can use to engage this change in a more positive light?  To begin to answer this pressing question, this article presents an informal survey of a series of pertinent issues that have to be tackled before making such decisive predictions.
The NT2 Hypermedia Art and Literature Directory: A New Knowledge Environment Devoted to the Valorization of Screen Culture
Authors: Gervais Bertrand
Published: March 2017

In the shift from book to screen culture, the production and transmission of culture, and its literary and artistic manifestations, have changed.  With the emergence of new technologies, these literary and artistic works are meant to be read or experienced using the Internet; yet, there is a lack of bibliographical, or other substantial listing, to preserve these works.  This article considers the attempt of the NT2 Laboratory to fill this void through the creation of the Hypermedia Art and Literature Directory, which aims to promote studying, reading, creating and archiving new forms of text and works in hypermedia.
The Face of Interface: Studying Interface to the Scholarly Corpus and Edition
Authors: Rockwell Geoffrey , Ruecker Stan , Windsor Jennifer , Ilovan Mihaela , Sondheim Daniel
Published: March 2017

How can we study the interface of scholarly knowledge across print and digital epochs? To ask about interface across epochs is to take a concept that makes sense in the digital world and anachronistically bring it to bear on print in a way that could confuse both. Nonetheless we need to develop ways of thinking about the relationship between design, knowledge and audience across media, and to do that we find ourselves remediating concepts like interface. This paper takes the category of interface and adapts it to studying the design of the corpus and edition.

From Research to Action: Four Theories and Their Implications for Knowledge Mobilization
Authors: Mosher Janet , Anucha Uzo , Appiah Henry , Levesque Sue
Published: March 2017

Integral to both knowledge mobilization and action research is the idea that research can and should ignite change or action. Change or action may occur at multiple levels and scales, in direct and predictable ways and in indirect and highly unpredictable ways. To better understand the relationship between research and action or change, we delineate four conceptualizations that appear in the literature. Reflecting on our experiences as collaborators in a community–university action research project that set out to tackle a “wicked” social problem, we consider the implications of these conceptualizations for the project’s knowledge mobilization plans and activities. The major lessons point to the importance of building capacity by nurturing collaborative learning spaces, of drawing many others – situated differently and with varied perspectives – into dialogue, and of embracing change within the project itself.
Knowledge Mobilization as Design: The Case of the Canadian Homelessness Research Network
Authors: Gaetz Steve
Published: March 2017

The Canadian Homelessness Research Network (CHRN) was established to create a stronger link between homelessness research, policy, and practice. The knowledge mobilization strategy of the CHRN encompasses engaged scholarship, networking, and innovative dissemination practices. Part of the learning of the CHRN has been the need to reimagine and redefine the traditional relationship between content creation and dissemination. Using a “design thinking” perspective, the CHRN has nurtured a practice that integrates collaborative processes of knowledge and content development with a more assertive involvement in different aspects of publishing (and modes of publication), including graphic design, marketing, communications, and dissemination, with the goal of increasing the impact of research. This article explores this shift, using examples of work the CHRN produced and disseminated through the Homeless Hub.

Historically, researchers have relied on libraries solely for access to research literature. But in the digital age, libraries are taking on new roles within the academic environment. This article discusses the shifting relationship between academic libraries and scholarly communication as seen through the lens of the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN); from the traditional role of the academic library as a source of funding and access for scholarly communication to the emerging role of the academic library as an active participant in the content creation process, and even as the foundation for the construction of a new digital content infrastructure.
An Entity By Any Other Name: Linked Open Data as a Basis for a Decentered, Dynamic Scholarly Publishing Ecology
Authors: Brown Susan , Simpson John
Published: March 2017

Linked open data provides a means of producing an interlinked and more navigable scholarly environment to permit: the better integration of research materials; the potential to address the specificities of the nomenclature, discourses, and methodologies; and the ability to respect institutional and individual investments. The paper proposes a linked data publishing ecology based on collaborations between the scholarly, publishing, and library communities, and tempered by a consideration of the current state of linked data publishing practices and infrastructure gaps with respect to enabling such collaboration, particularly in the humanities.
Glass, Paper, Scissors: Investigating the Metaphors of the Glass Cast through Paper Prototyping
Authors: Peña Ernesto , Dobson Teresa
Published: March 2017

This article reflects on the importance of user feedback in early stages of the design process of Glass Cast. A 3-D interface, Glass Cast is intended for the visualization of knowledge networks, including parameters such as authorship, time, subject, discipline, and connections between documents in a corpus. The name Glass Cast refers to the working metaphor of the prototype, which is a cast sculpture in which the object of representation appears as negative space in a glass block. The participants in this study, graduate students and faculty in the humanities and social sciences, provided feedback on a low-fidelity paper prototype in the context of interviews. Their feedback is organized following the taxonomy of user-interface metaphors.
Beyond Open Access to Open Publication and Open Scholarship
Authors: Maxwell John W
Published: March 2017

This article explores a moment of opportunity to imagine a new humanities scholarship based on radical openness, beyond the level of access to scholarly content that the open access movement has so far championed, to a culture of transformation that can actively include the public(s) beyond the community of scholars. The possibilities for enhancing scholarly and research practices are intriguing, but even greater may be the generative opportunity to engage audiences beyond the scholarly community – particularly online, where the humanities connects to broader cultural currents.
The Business of Digital Humanities: Capitalism and Enlightenment
Authors: Mandell Laura , Grumbach Elizabeth
Published: March 2017

Background: The Advanced Research Consortium (ARC)The Advanced Research Consortium (ARC) began in 2005 with the launch of the Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-century Electronic Scholarship (NINES), the brainchild of Jerome McGann and Bethany Nowviskie. Organized around literary and historical periods, ARC is comprised of the directors of online scholarly communities that peer review digital projects and aggregate metadata for peer reviewed and other collections into an online search portal. The five ARC search portals are NINES, 18thConnect, MESA or medieval, ModNets or modernism, and ReKN or Renaissance (the latter two are forthcoming). In this article, we will discuss partnerships that ARC has established with proprietary data companies and the possible benefits for scholars and libraries from the possibility of collaborating with companies – vendors that serve data to libraries. More important, I will argue that there is a terrible threat hanging over disciplines such as literary studies and that we need to become avid archive entrepreneurs.
Facial profile esthetics change of class II malocclusion patients treated with the Herbst appliance as perceived by orthodontists and laypersons
Authors: Milutinovic Jovana , Nedeljkovic Nenad , Korolija Nenad , Milicic Biljana
Published: March 2017

Introduction/Objective. The recognition of differences in individual assessment of facial attractiveness could be valuable assistance in planning the orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to compare facial profile attractiveness changes of patients treated with the Herbst appliance perceived by orthodontists and laypersons. Methods. The patient sample comprised 33 young Caucasian still-growing patients, aged 14?18 years, with skeletal class II malocclusion treated with the Herbst and multibracket appliances. Facial profile photographs before and after the treatment were shown to 54 orthodontists and 50 laypersons. In the esthetics oriented poll, the evaluators rated the change in facial appearance. Results. The attractiveness scores differed between the two rater groups (p < 0.001), with orthodontists being more generous, whereas there was no significant difference between female and male evaluators in both groups (p > 0.05). However, scores differed significantly in grading female and male patients (p < 0.001), so that female patients got higher scores; younger evaluators graded more critically between different age groups of the evaluators (p < 0.001), as well as between the patients with different initial severity of malocclusion (p < 0.001). Conclusion. The difference in attractiveness scores differed between two groups, with laypersons being more critical than orthodontists. Higher scores were given to female patients by both groups, as well as by the evaluators in the older age group.
Insulin and Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonist Combination Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Maiorino Maria Ida , Chiodini Paolo , Bellastella Giuseppe , Capuano Annalisa , Esposito Katherine , Giugliano Dario
Published: March 2017

OBJECTIVE

The combination of basal insulin plus a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) has been proposed as a treatment option to intensify insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing this combination strategy to other injectable antidiabetes treatments on metabolic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted an electronic search until November 2016 on many electronic databases to identify RCTs assessing changes in HbA1c, proportion of patients at HbA1c target ≤7% (53 mmol/mol), hypoglycemia, and weight change. We used a random-effect model to calculate the weighted mean difference (WMD) or relative risk (RR) with the 95% CI.

RESULTS

We identified 26 RCTs, lasting 12–52 weeks, and involving 11,425 patients. When the combination strategy was compared with other injectable treatments (overall data), there were reductions in HbA1c (WMD = −0.47%, 95% CI −0.59 to −0.35), more patients at HbA1c target (RR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.44–1.88), similar hypoglycemic events (RR = 1.14, 95% CI 0.93–1.39) and a reduction in weight (WMD = −2.5 kg, 95% CI −3.3 to −1.7), with high heterogeneity (I2 > 89%, P < 0.001) and a significant publication bias for three outcomes. In preplanned subgroup analyses, the combination treatment was similar to basal-bolus insulin regimens for glycemic control, with less hypoglycemia (RR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.46–0.93) and reduced weight (WMD = −4.7 kg, 95% CI −6.9 to −2.4). Fixed-ratio combinations yielded results similar to the overall analysis (HbA1c WMD = −0.56%, 95% CI −0.72 to −0.40).

CONCLUSIONS

GLP-1RAs alone or as titratable fixed-ratio combinations with basal insulin may represent a promising option to advance basal insulin therapy or to initiate injectable therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on oral agents. Longer studies are needed to assess durability and tolerability.

Published: March 2017

There is an increasing commercial interest in enzymatic production of biologically active component, because there are a number of well-known advantages compared to chemical synthesis. One of the most valuable synthetic features of enzyme is their ability to discriminate between enantiomers of racemic substrates. Lipase have become of great interest to the chemical industries wing their usefulness in both hydrolytic and synthesis reactions. The aim of this work was to study the production of lipase by Rhizopus stolonifer UICC 137, and determine the crude lipase preparation characteristics. The lipolytic activity was determined by titrimetric method toward oil-arabic gum emultion as a substrate. The strain produced lipase at appreciable lipolytic when cultivated for 72 hours in medium containing 3 percent glucose and 1 percent olive oil. Our data suggest that the strain produced lipase since the exponential phase of its growth. Lipase with optimum lipolytic activity was obtained at late stationary phase. The optimum condition for lipolytic activity measurement were pH of 7.5 and temperature 37 C, the crude enzyme had a specific activity 20.2 unit/ mg protein, the Vmax was 15.1 mol/ min and KM was 12.5 mg/ ml. The crude enzyme retained 79.9 percent, 68.0 percent and 52.6 percent of its lipolytic activity, when incubated for 90 minutes at temperature of 40, 50, and 60 C respectively.

The 2014 Survey on Living with Chronic Diseases in Canada
on Mood and Anxiety Disorders: a methodological overview
Authors: O'Donnell Siobhan , Cheung R. , Bennett K. , Lagacé C.
Published: March 2017

Introduction

There is a paucity of information about the impact of mood and anxiety disorders
on Canadians and the approaches used to manage them. To address this gap, the 2014
Survey on Living with Chronic Diseases in Canada–Mood and Anxiety Disorders Component
(SLCDC-MA) was developed. The purpose of this paper is to describe the methodology of
the 2014 SLCDC-MA and examine the sociodemographic characteristics of the final sample.

Methods

The 2014 SLCDC-MA is a cross-sectional follow-up survey that includes
Canadians from the 10 provinces aged 18 years and older with mood and/or anxiety
disorders diagnosed by a health professional that are expected to last, or have already
lasted, six months or more. The survey was developed by the Public Health Agency of
Canada (PHAC) through an iterative, consultative process with Statistics Canada and
external experts. Statistics Canada performed content testing, designed the sampling
frame and strategies and collected and processed the data. PHAC used descriptive analyses
to describe the respondents’ sociodemographic characteristics, produced nationally
representative estimates using survey weights provided by Statistics Canada, and generated
variance estimates using bootstrap methodology.

Results

The final 2014 SLCDC-MA sample consists of a total of 3361 respondents (68.9%
response rate). Among Canadian adults with mood and/or anxiety disorders, close to twothirds
(64%) were female, over half (56%) were married/in a common-law relationship and
60% obtained a post-secondary education. Most were young or middle-aged (85%),
Canadian born (88%), of non-Aboriginal status (95%), and resided in an urban setting
(82%). Household income was fairly evenly distributed between the adequacy quintiles;
however, individuals were more likely to report a household income adequacy within the
lowest (23%) versus highest (17%) quintile. Forty-five percent reported having a mood disorder
only, 24% an anxiety disorder only and 31% both kinds of disorder.

Conclusion

The 2014 SLCDC-MA is the only national household survey to collect information
on the experiences of Canadians living with a professionally diagnosed mood and/or
anxiety disorder. The information collected offers insights into areas where additional support
or interventions may be needed and provides baseline information for future public
health research in the area of mental illness.
Automated Clustering of Virtual Machines based on Correlation of Resource Usage
Authors: Canali Claudia , Lancellotti Riccardo
Published: March 2017

The recent growth in demand for modern applicationscombined with the shift to the Cloud computing paradigm have led to the establishment of large-scale cloud data centers. The increasing size of these infrastructures represents a major challenge in terms of monitoring and management of the system resources. Available solutions typically consider every Virtual Machine (VM) as a black box each with independent characteristics, and face scalability issues by reducing the number of monitored resource samples, considering in most cases only average CPU usage sampled at a coarse time granularity. We claim that scalability issues can be addressed by leveraging thesimilarity between VMs in terms of resource usage patterns.In this paper we propose an automated methodology to cluster VMs depending on the usage of multiple resources, both systemand network-related, assuming no knowledge of the services executed on them. This is an innovative methodology that exploits the correlation between the resource usage to cluster together similar VMs. We evaluate the methodology through a case study with data coming from an enterprise datacenter, and we show that high performance may be achieved in automatic VMs clustering. Furthermore, we estimate the reduction in the amount of data collected, thus showing that our proposal may simplify the monitoring requirements and help administrators totake decisions on the resource management of cloud computing datacenters.
