Authors: Pazderka Jiří , Ženíšek Michal , Pavlů Tereza , Reiterman Pavel , Holpaček Ondřej
Published: May 2020

Nowadays many parts of the Czechoslovak border fortification built in 1935 – 1938 have been sold to the private owners who want to reconstruct it. One of the biggest problems while reconstructing these objects is missing cloches. The aim of this study is to find solution of this problem. Authors wanted to offer the owners (usually clubs of military history) authentic design of the cloche for low cost, high durability and full functionality of the cloche that enables installation of original weapons.A result of the work was a development of a technical solution of the cloche consisting of a replica of the upper part made of reinforced concrete in combination with lower part made of concrete. This unique technical solution was confirmed as an utility model CZ32920(U1). Remediation measure was approved by the team at the pillbox T-S 20 in Červený Kostelec in 2019.

Social capital is a result of social movement  and vice versa. Social movement’s theories such as the mobilization of resource model tries to explain the anatomy of collective action in the context of liberal political system in the West. These theories can be used to dechiper collective action in general but may be not enough to explain rural social action in Indonesia which under transitional democracy political regime. In present rural Indonesia,  social movement participated by “weak” groups of peasants break out most frequently. These peasents movements are against local governments or enterprises who distupt citizens’  rights. The civic protest against semen enterprise in Maitan Village in Pati District is the case in point. The social networks created thecollective action. However, the horizontal networks among  protesters themselves cannot be succesful without the help of vertical network such as support that they may have received from high-ranking officials in the local government bureaucracy.
Synthesis of Sodium Zirconia as a Catalyst for Transesterification Reaction of Used Cooking Oil
Authors: Agustin Niyar Candra , Prasdiantika Ricka
Published: May 2020

Catalyst is one of factor that affect the results of the transesterification reaction. Catalyst has spesific properties that can only be used in certain reaction. In order to carry out the transesterification reaction a suitable catalyst is needed and has optimal performance. This research aims to synthesize sodium zirconia (Na2O/ZrO2) as a catalyst for transesterification reaction of used cooking oil into biodiesel and the effect of the concentration of NaOH solution on the zirconia catalyst (ZrO2). The sodium zirconia catalyst(Na2O/ZrO2) was synthesized by wet impregnation method by mixing ZrO2 and NaOH solution with variations in concentrations of 2, 4 and 6 M. Transesterification reaction is carried out with catalyst amount of 5%(w/w), with areaction time of 20 minutes, and by microwave heating at 400 watt microwave power. The comparison of oil molar with methanol was 1:15. Na2O/ZrO2 catalysts was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared(FT-IR) Spectrophotometer, and X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX). The resulting biodiesel was characterized by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Using Na2O/ZrO2 2 M catalysts produced the most biodiesel which was 85.5% (w/w). The formed biodiesel contained methyl palmitate (25,11%), methyl linoleate (10,87%), methyl elaidate (57,88%), and methyl stearate (6,14%). The characterization results showed that Na2O/ZrO2 as the transesterification used cooking oil catalyst was successfully synthesized.
„Indywidualistyczne” vs „kolektywistyczne” orientacje normatywne młodzieży akademickiej
Authors: Cybal-Michalska Agnieszka
Published: May 2020

In the article, the author refers to the individualism-collectivism dichotomy, which is a theoretical construct serving to explain the mutual relations of the individual and the group. It moreover provides a dimension differentiating between cultures which give the primacy to the individual over the group and those, which privilege the group over the individual. An individualistic tendency means that an individual is the subject for whom the collective is an object of action. Collectivism is the polar opposite view: the collective entity is the proper subject of the proceedings, in relation to which individuals are objects. The author of the article, acknowledging the need to recognize the quality of images and views of academic youth about a career path, invoked the structure and function of selected normative assumptions as important dimensions of the socio-cultural mentality of the individual. The research study helped grasp the ‘individualistic’ and ‘collectivist’ normative assumptions of university youth,, emerging in the course of socialization and originating in the generalization of social experience.
Quantifying TPC-H choke points and their optimizations
Authors: Dreseler Markus , Boissier Martin , Rabl Tilmann , Uflacker Matthias
Published: May 2020

TPC-H continues to be the most widely used benchmark for relational OLAP systems. It poses a number of challenges, also known as "choke points", which database systems have to solve in order to achieve good benchmark results. Examples include joins across multiple tables, correlated subqueries, and correlations within the TPC-H data set. Knowing the impact of such optimizations helps in developing optimizers as well as in interpreting TPC-H results across database systems.

This paper provides a systematic analysis of choke points and their optimizations. It complements previous work on TPC-H choke points by providing a quantitative discussion of their relevance. It focuses on eleven choke points where the optimizations are beneficial independently of the database system. Of these, the flattening of subqueries and the placement of predicates have the biggest impact. Three queries (Q2, Q17, and Q21) are strongly influenced by the choice of an efficient query plan; three others (Q1, Q13, and Q18) are less influenced by plan optimizations and more dependent on an efficient execution engine.
Single machine graph analytics on massive datasets using Intel optane DC persistent memory
Authors: Gill Gurbinder , Dathathri Roshan , Hoang Loc , Peri Ramesh , Pingali Keshav
Published: May 2020

Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory (Optane PMM) is a new kind of byte-addressable memory with higher density and lower cost than DRAM. This enables the design of affordable systems that support up to 6TB of randomly accessible memory. In this paper, we present key runtime and algorithmic principles to consider when performing graph analytics on extreme-scale graphs on Optane PMM and highlight principles that can apply to graph analytics on all large-memory platforms.

To demonstrate the importance of these principles, we evaluate four existing shared-memory graph frameworks and one out-of-core graph framework on large real-world graphs using a machine with 6TB of Optane PMM. Our results show that frameworks using the runtime and algorithmic principles advocated in this paper (i) perform significantly better than the others and (ii) are competitive with graph analytics frameworks running on production clusters.
Gordon Arthur Riley: The Complete Oceanographer 1911-1985
Authors: Gordon Donald C.
Published: May 2020

Gordon Riley was an outstanding scientist who played a leading international role in the development of oceanography as a field of scientific study in the mid-twentieth century. His multidisciplinary approach, quantitative skills, imagination and intuition advanced our knowledge and understanding of the ocean enormously. Of his many significant scientific contributions to oceanography, he is best known for his pioneering work in developing simple numerical models for improving the understanding of the dynamics of marine ecosystems with a focus on plankton. He helped transform oceanography from a descriptive to a quantitative science. His early career was spent in the United States at the Bingham Oceanographic Laboratory of Yale University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. In 1965, at the peak of his career, he immigrated to Canada to become the director of the Institute of Oceanography at Dalhousie University. Under his leadership, the Institute evolved into the Department of Oceanography, which became an internationally recognized centre for marine research and teaching. During this period, he also played a prominent role in the development of the broader Canadian oceanographic community. He served as a wonderful example of how scientific research, teaching and a life should be carried out.

Responding to the Call for Climate Action
Authors: Lane Daniel E.
Published: May 2020

Global calls for action on climate change have become more urgent in recent years. However, how to act to achieve climate sustainability remains elusive. The evidence is clear that governmental initiatives – global, national, and provincial – have not been able to coalesce into a meaningful strategy for climate sustainability. What is required is a shift in climate responsibility from governments to individuals and communities who think globally but are best able to act locally. To encourage the citizenry to act requires a science-based information and education whereby climate action is clearly defined along with the consequences of actions (or inaction). Education must include a climate curriculum as a mainstream subject in our schools. Using this approach, local community baselines of climate information, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity can be established. In enhancing their climate roles, governments’ need to shift from carrying out mandates for climate response, to becoming auditors of carbon use in which citizens and businesses are given incentives to reduce carbon footprints. Finally, increased investments need to be directed to communities so that they can take more responsibility and be more prepared to live with climate change impacts. Governments also need to engage the community in participatory strategic long-term planning for adaptation to the changing climate. Keywords: climate action, climate responsibility, institutional arrangements, science-based information, education legacy, strategic planning, community investment
The Concept of The Other as Constructed in Bharati Mukherjee's 'Desirable Daughters'
Authors: Karim Mutiah , Margawati Prayudias
Published: May 2020

Dichotomy of the West and the East has become an issue after colonial era ended. The colonized countries such as India are seen as inferior to the Western countries—European countries and America. Moreover, according to Orientalism by Edward Said, the Westerners regard the East as The Other. This study aimed to explain (1) the concept of The Other as constructed in Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters and (2) how it affects the personality of the main characters. Observation sheets were used as research instrument and the data were obtained from library research. This qualitative descriptive study employed Orientalism theory by Edward Said in analyzing the data. It is found that the concept of The Other in Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters are constructed on three (3) keys which are (1) Westerners perspective on Indian people as well as Indian perspective on the Westerners, (2) the otherness of India, (3) and the imagery of India.  Meanwhile, the construction of The Other has affected the main characters’ personality. From the construction of The Other, Indian are seen as inferior, powerless, poor, restricted, and traditional. It shows that Western hegemony can even change people’s personality and how they think about their identity.

The Effect of Valerian and Ginger on Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Davood Abadi Masoumeh , Vakilian Katayon , Seyyed Zadeh Aghdam Nafiseh , Ranjbaran Mehdi
Published: May 2020

Objectives: Dysmenorrhea is a frequent complaint in young females. In recent years, researchers have grown an interest in the use of herbal drugs to decrease menstrual pain given the side effects of chemical drugs. This project was conducted to evaluate the effect of valerian and ginger on the duration of pain and analgesic use in dysmenorrhea. Materials and Methods: This triple-blind randomized clinical trial was performed on 210 dormitory females who were randomly divided into valerian, ginger, and control groups after opening an envelope. In this study, 250 and 350 mg of ginger and valerian in each capsule were administered, respectively, and 250 mg sugar was used as a placebo. The number of days with pain and analgesic use were evaluated as well. Finally, descriptive (percentage and mean) and inferential (t test, post hoc, and chi-square at a significance level of 0.05) statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: The results of the study showed a marginally significant difference in the duration of pain between ginger (1.61±0.64 days) and control (2.12±0.81 days) groups (P=0.052), and significant difference between ginger (1.61±0.64 days) and valerian (2.53±1.43 days) groups (P=0.001). The mean days of analgesic use among the three groups were not different significantly (P>0.05). However, the mean severity of symptoms significantly differed between ginger (0.73±0.28) and control (0.3±0.04) groups and increased in the ginger group (P=0.003). Conclusions: In general, the administration of valerian and ginger at the doses used in this study failed to produce desirable analgesic effects and thus could not decrease the symptoms associated with dysmenorrhea
Phytoseiid mites (Parasitiformes, Phytoseiidae) of “Mykhaylivs’ka tselina” branch of the Ukrainian Steppe Nature Reserve, NAS of Ukraine
Authors: Kolodochka L.A. , Bondarev V.Yu.
Published: May 2020

Faunistical studies are a priority in protected areas because these ecosystems can be considered the richest and the least disturbed, and provide invaluable data for comparison. It is particularly important in the case of predatory animals, such as mites of the family Phytoseiidae. They are highly important in the ecosystems as the plant pest regulators. However, the data on phytoseiid mites of protected areas are scanty, especially these of the steppe zone of Ukraine. The present publication contributes to the ecological and faunistical studies of Phytoseiidae mites of plant associations in the Ukrainian Steppe Nature Reserve. Herein, the new data on the species composition and distribution of predatory phytoseiid mites of the reserve’s branch “Mykhaylivs’ka Tsylina” are given. The material was collected by authors in August, 2017. A total of 677 specimens were identified as belonging to 14 species of eight genera of Phytoseiidae. According to the ecological preferences, the mites represent three groups: herbabionts, arboreal mites and eurybionts. The most common species was Amblydromella pirianykae, according to occurrence index (with maximum index value of 41.29 %). This species also was the most prevalent by the number of collected specimens. The rarest species in the studied complex were Bawus subsoleiger, Neoseiulus bicaudus, and Typhlodromus rodovae. The value of occurrence index for those species was 0.65%. Other species were characterized by intermediate values of occurrence index. The domination structure of the studied species complex was characterized using Paliy-Kovnatsky index. The community structure was as follows: two eudominant and two dominant species, no subdominant species, and 10 secondary community members.
Sobre el movimiento del cielo. Ficino y Proclo
Authors: Rodríguez Teresa
Published: May 2020

El artículo cuestiona la oposición entre platonismo y aristotelismo que se discute en el Renacimiento. Específicamente examina los argumentos de Ficino sobre el movimiento del cielo. Estos han dado lugar a considerar su pensamiento como incoherente ya que incorpora elementos aristotélicos en un marco platónico. Si bien estas consideraciones han sido cuestionadas, se profundiza en ello y se muestra que la incorporación de nociones aristotélicas es una característica de la tradición platónica renacentista.

The residual effect of metsulfuron on soybean tolerant and non-tolerant to sulfonylureas
Authors: Silva André Felipe Moreira , Giraldeli Ana Ligia , Silva Gustavo Soares da , Albrecht Alfredo Junior Paiola , Albrecht Leandro Paiola , Victoria Filho Ricardo
Published: May 2020

Metsulfuron is widely used for weed management; however, the residual effect on STS soybean cultivars is unknown. The objective of this work was to evaluate the residual effect of the herbicide metsulfuron on the BMX Garra RR2/STS and M 6410 IPRO (non-STS) soybean cultivars. The herbicide metsulfuron was applied at a rate of 2.4 g a.i. ha-1, in pre-planting of soybean plants. The design was completely randomized in a 2×5 factorial scheme with four replications (first factor: two soybean cultivars - STS and no-STS; second factor: five periods between metsulfuron application and soybean sowing - 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days). At 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after sowing (DAS), an emergency evaluation of the soybean seedlings was performed; at 28 DAS, height and dry mass of the shoot were evaluated. The height averages for the STS cultivar were higher than the values of the no-STS cultivar. The average dry mass of soybean plants was higher in the STS cultivar at 0, 15, and 30 days between application and sowing. No differences were observed between the cultivars for the periods of 45 and 60 days, for average dry mass. The BMX soybean cultivar Garra RR2/STS was potentially tolerant for the pre-sowing application of the herbicide metsulfuron. The cultivar of M 6410 IPRO (nonSTS) was affected in its initial development by the metsulfuron application during the pre-emergence stage; however, the 60-day metsulfuron application was safer, and therefore, it is recommended to perform the herbicide application in that interval.
Physicochemical properties of bean pod (Phaseolus vulgaris) flour and its potential as a raw material for the food industry
Authors: Martínez-Castaño Marcela , Mejía Díaz Diana Paola , Contreras-Calderón José , Gallardo Cabrera Cecilia
Published: May 2020

The sustainable development of agro-industry requires the efficient use of all raw matters, which implies physicochemical and functional studies of by-products for finding their potential usage in industrial processes. The objective of the present study was to assess some physicochemical and functional properties of fIour obtained from the bean pod. Two types of drying methods were tested: convection and vacuum. The fIours tended to yellow color according to b* parameter values (convection drying: 17.54; vacuum drying: 18.35), with a slight red hue. They also showed high water-holding (convection drying: 8.30 g g-1; vacuum drying: 7.56 g g-1) and oil holding capacity (convection drying: 2.53 g g-1; vacuum drying: 2.56 g g-1), polyphenols content (convection drying: 26.62 mg GAE g-1 DW; vacuum drying: 3.77 mg GAE g-1 DW) and antioxidant capacity (convection drying: 33.42 µmol Trolox g-1; vacuum drying: 5.27 µmol Trolox g-1). The results were similar for the two types of drying methods, except for the antioxidant capacity. Since convection drying is more economical and available than vacuum drying, only the fIour obtained by convection method was analyzed on compositional and structural characteristics. This fIour showed to be a good source of dietary fiber (66.93%), being the insoluble fiber the predominant fraction (59.97%). Moreover, a high content of ash (6.65%) and low lipid content (0.58%) were also found. The IR spectrum showed signs corroborating the presence of dietary fiber, which also was evidenced morphologically. Overall, the results obtained indicated that the bean pod fIour obtained by convection drying has potential use as a raw material for the food industry.
La virilidad de Clitemnestra en el Agamenón de Esquilo.

El pensamiento y las prácticas sociales de los atenienses de la Época Clásica se hallaban jerarquizados en favor de los varones, que se consideraban superiores naturalmente y con capacidad y derecho a gobernar en la polis y en la casa. Se muestra cómo el Agamenón de Esquilo cuestiona la naturalización de esta superioridad mediante el personaje de Clitemnestra, quien actúa, piensa y habla como varón, y muestra que matar a un familiar, cambiar de pareja, luchar por el mando se justificaban si lo realizaba Agamenón. ¿Por qué se condenaban estas acciones cuando eran llevadas a cabo por Clitemnestra?

El objetivo del artículo es presentar los hallazgos de la investigación que analizó el estado de la formación inicial docente (FID) para la enseñanza de la Lectoescritura inicial (LEI) de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (UPNFM) de Honduras. Se mapeó el currículo de Profesorado de Educación Básica para el I y II Ciclo en el grado de Licenciatura en el ámbito de LEI, a partir de un marco de referencia basado en la evidencia actual sobre la enseñanza de la lectoescritura. Asimismo, se entrevistó y observó a docentes formadores y docentes en formación para recolectar información. El estudio de enfoque cualitativo se llevó a cabo de julio 2018 a marzo de 2019. Los resultados mostraron la fortaleza del diseño curricular sustentado en el modelo educativo por competencias. Sin embargo, los cursos relacionados con enseñanza de LEI no están lo suficientemente alineados con la evidencia contemporánea; el currículo presenta brechas y limita los procesos de formación de los docentes porque no proporciona un grado suficiente de dominio de contenidos y conocimientos de pedagogía de la LEI.
Integración de la tecnología audiovisual en la educación de personas ejecutivas: el profesorado reflexivo
Authors: Campos Retana Roy
Published: May 2020

Este ensayo científico examina la reformulación de los esquemas mentales del profesorado en los procesos de enseñanza de personas ejecutivas, mediados por la tecnología. Cada vez más, la tecnología complementa los métodos de enseñanza que tradicionalmente han liderado los programas de capacitación. Aunque el profesorado cuenta con mayores recursos tecnológicos a su disposición, enfrentan el reto de transmitir en menos tiempo la misma cantidad de contenidos. El objetivo de esta investigación es entender cómo el profesorado desarrolla sus habilidades tecnológicas para crear experiencias de aprendizaje más eficaces y permanentes. Este ensayo responde a la pregunta ¿cómo aprenden el profesorado de personas ejecutivas a integrar la tecnología? La integración de la tecnología es la forma en que las capacidades y restricciones de la tecnología están incorporadas en el ejercicio profesional. Luego de explorar diversas teorías sobre el aprendizaje de personas adultas, el aprendizaje basado en la experiencia y la reflexión de las personas ejecutivas, se encontró que el profesorado debe reformular sus esquemas mentales para aprender a integrar apropiadamente la tecnología. Se concluye que la promoción de la autoconciencia en medio de la acción docente puede facilitar esta integración. Investigación futura debería abordar el uso de modelos de integración de la tecnología en el profesorado de personas ejecutivas.
Educación Técnica secundaria pública en Costa Rica: 1950-2014
Authors: Alvarado Calderón Gabriela , Mora Hernández Raquel
Published: May 2020

La Educación Pública Técnica Secundaria es una modalidad educativa costarricense, concebida como alternativa para la inserción temprana de la población joven en el mercado laboral. A pesar de su importancia en el plano nacional, no es tema central de las investigaciones existentes en materia educativa, que aborda más bien los aspectos como la oferta técnica del Instituto Nacional de Aprendizaje, especialidades técnicas, mercado laboral y evaluación por competencias –entre otros-, dejando de lado la formulación, orientación y ejecución de la política en Educación Técnica en sí. El presente artículo surge como resultado de Trabajo Final de Investigación para optar por el grado de Licenciatura en Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Costa Rica, y tiene como objetivo hacer una reconstrucción de los elementos principales de la política costarricense de Educación Técnica secundaria, desarrollada por el Ministerio de Educación Pública, en el periodo 1950-2014. La reconstrucción se guía por un modelo de análisis de política pública, fundamentado en la Teoría General de Sistemas, y con una metodología mixta de preponderancia cualitativa de alcances descriptivos y exploratorios. La población participante en estudio se compone por cinco profesionales del MEP con experiencia en la formulación e implementación de la política de Educación Técnica desde tres escenarios diferentes: los centros educativos, la Dirección de Educación Técnica Capacidades y Emprendedoras, y la función ministerial. La principal técnica de recolección de información corresponde al análisis documental de las memorias anuales de labores del MEP de 1950-2014, que se complementa con entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesionales del MEP. La investigación concluye que la Educación Técnica resulta más una aproximación al mercado laboral que una garantía real de inserción en el mismo, pues el mercado meta es incapaz de absorber toda la mano de obra que en ella se forma.
Consciousness-raising tasks for the mediation of text structure, cohesion, and coherence in essay writing
Authors: Rojas Vargas Ana Lucía , Solano Quesada Ana Paula , Vargas Vásquez José Miguel , Jiménez Rojas Alex
Published: May 2020

Several studies have demonstrated the positive impact of Consciousness-Raising tasks (CRTs) on the teaching of grammar, especially in foreign or second language learning. However, few studies have examined their effectiveness for the development of writing skills. With this in mind, the goal of this project is to explore the impact of CRTs on three aspects of writing in expository essays: text structure, cohesion, and coherence. To accomplish this goal, the study followed a mixed-method approach with a component of Classroom Action Research. The study was conducted in an English as Foreign Language class with a group of 12 eleventh-grade students at the International Baccalaureate Program at Palmares Bilingual High school, in Alajuela, Costa Rica. The data consisted of two sets of essays, classroom observations, and questionnaires to the students and the cooperating teacher. After comparing results from the first and second essays, the most noticeable improvement in the students’ writing was in text structure and cohesion, whereas coherence showed the lowest improvement. This points to a limitation of CRTs for addressing aspects of writing involving a larger number of rules and more abstract concepts, such as coherence, instead of a smaller number of rules, like cohesion. In conclusion, the authors suggest enquiring about the use of CRTs with simple topics involving decisions tied to explicit rules versus more complex topics involving abstract thinking and decisions not always linked to rules. Lastly, the authors recommend exploring strategies to make consciousness-raising a collaborative process as a way to mitigate task complexity

El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar los resultados de un proceso investigativo que se inicia en el año 2018 en la Universidad Metropolitana de Ciencias de la Educación (UMCE) en Santiago de Chile, y que tiene el propósito de resignificar la noción de aprendizaje en el marco de la formación inicial docente impartida en esta casa de estudios. Proceso que realiza un análisis bibliográfico, asociado a la descripción que hace Zygmunt Bauman de las sociedades líquidas. Para ello, se elabora un constructo de la noción de aprendizaje, que permita enfrentar con mejores herramientas, procesos de cambios e incertidumbre. El estudio tiene un enfoque cualitativo desde el cual se busca indagar la noción de aprendizaje a través de la selección de un corpus textual focalizado en torno al contexto y al uso de la palabra aprendizaje. Los hallazgos de la investigación muestran la caracterización de aprender mediante las siguientes dimensiones (i) aprendizaje como una experiencia, (ii) aprendizaje para un mundo en constante movimiento. En síntesis, es comprender la constante transformación que cada uno ha de vivir para estar en un mundo en constante e interdependiente evolución. De este modo, se espera que la noción de aprendizaje, para la sociedad de la incertidumbre, desarrolle un pensamiento dialógico, retroactivo, recursivo, hologramático que aborde la condición de autonomía y dependencia constante, es decir, que asuma la incertidumbre.
The translation task: ITCR students with no expertise in translation
Authors: Abarca Amador Yohanna
Published: May 2020

As an English teacher at the Costa Rica Institute of Technology, I often see students from the Engineering and Business Administration majors struggling to understand study ma- terials and professional articles in English. Even though the students do not have any training in translation, they have to do this task in their regular classes. They usually use printed dictionaries or computer-assisted translation tools that have been designed for these purposes and that they can access. This observation led, as a result, to the interest in finding out if the students are really able to understand and translate a text from English to Spanish accurately. The translations are analyzed at the word, phrase and sentence levels to examine the comprehension level of the text and the quality of their translations.

Is there a relationship between dental and/or periodontal pathology and values of C-reactive protein, Homocysteine and Lipoprotein (a) in patients with cardiovascular disease? A case control study
Authors: Gonzalez Navarro Beatriz , Jané Salas Enric , Lopez Lopez Jose , Pintó Sala Xavier
Published: May 2020

Background

Dental pathology [dental caries (DC) and apical periodontitis (AP)] and/or periodontal pathology (PD) could influence the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The relationship between conventional CVD risk factors and dento-periodontal pathology has been well demonstrated; however, there is less evidence of the relationship between these pathologies and emerging or unconventional CVD risk factors, including C-reactive protein (CRP), Homocysteine ​​(Hcy) and Lipoprotein a (Lp (a).

Methods

This case-control study included 99 patients with CVD and 50 healthy controls. All participants underwent a detailed medical history, an intraoral examination, an orthopantomography and a blood test. All the analyses were performed on the data set, using all available information with intention to treat criteria.

Results

A greater number of patients in the study group presented PD (p <0.001) and AP (p <0.001) compared to the control group. However, we did not find significant differences in the prevalence of caries between both groups (p <0.287). Moreover, none of oral variables was significantly related to concentrations of CRP, Hcy or Lp(a).

Conclusions

Patients with CVD present more PD and a greater number of AP, suggesting an association between dento-periodontal pathology and cardiovascular pathology. The concentrations of CRP, homocysteine and Lp(a) are not related to the degree of dento-periodontal pathology, so we believe that more studies are necessary to assess this possible association.

The physiological colonization resistance exerted by the murine gut microbiota prevents conventional mice from Campylobacter jejuni infection. In the present study we addressed whether this also held true for Campylobacter coli. Following peroral application, C. coli as opposed to C. jejuni could stably establish within the gastrointestinal tract of conventionally colonized mice until 3 weeks post-challenge. Neither before nor after either Campylobacter application any changes in the gut microbiota composition could be observed. C. coli, but not C. jejuni challenge was associated with pronounced regenerative, but not apoptotic responses in colonic epithelia. At day 21 following C. coli versus C. jejuni application mice exhibited higher numbers of adaptive immune cells including T-lymphocytes and regulatory T-cells in the colonic mucosa and lamina propria that were accompanied by higher large intestinal interferon-γ (IFN-γ) concentrations in the former versus the latter but comparable to naive levels. Campylobacter application resulted in decreased splenic IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-6 concentrations, whereas IL-12p70 secretion was increased in the spleens at day 21 following C. coli application only. In either Campylobacter cohort decreased IL-10 concentrations could be measured in splenic and serum samples. In conclusion, the commensal gut microbiota prevents mice from C. jejuni, but not C. coli infection.

Absztrakt:

Bevezetés: A nagyérvasculitisek nem specifikus klinikai
tüneteket okoznak, ami a diagnózist nagyban nehezíti. A betegség korai
felismerése és kezelése a későbbi szövődmények elkerülése érdekében fontos. A
18F-FDG-PET az érfalon belüli gyulladást a betegség korai
stádiumában is nagy érzékenységgel mutatja ki. A CT a nagyérvasculitis pontos
lokalizációjában van segítségünkre. Célkitűzés: A
18F-FDG-PET/CT teljesítőképességének tisztázása a betegség
aktivitásának és kiterjedésének megítélésében: klinikailag nagyérvasculitis
iránydiagnózisával vizsgált betegekben és relapsus során, valamint a terápiára
létrejövő remissio megállapításában. Módszer: A vizsgálatban 43
beteg vett részt. A betegeket a klinikai kérdés alapján csoportosítottuk: primer
diagnózis igazolása szteroidnaiv és szteroiddal kezelt betegekben, relapsus,
illetve remissio kimutatása. Kontrollként 10, gyulladásos tünetektől mentes
tumoros beteget vizsgáltunk meg. Az erek radiofarmakon-felvételének mértékét
vizuálisan és kvantitatívan értékeltük. A kvantitatív értékelés során az
érszegmentumokban a májhoz viszonyított érfal maximális standard
18F-FDG-felvételi értékét (SUVmax) határoztuk meg.
Eredmények: A primer diagnózis céljából végzett 30
vizsgálatból 5 esetben 18F-FDG-aktív nagyérvasculitist mutattunk ki,
további 13 vizsgálatból 5 betegben pedig relapsust igazoltunk. A vizuálisan
aktív betegek 50%-ában 3 vagy annál több aktív érszegmentumot találtunk. A
vizuálisan aktív betegcsoportban szteroid hatására az érfal SUVmax-értéke
szignifikánsan alacsonyabb volt a szteroidnaiv betegekhez képest (1,17 ± 0,11
vs. 1,43 ± 0,29; p = 0,005). Két 18F-FDG-aktív nagyér-vasculitises
betegben kontrollvizsgálattal remissiót állapítottunk meg. A primer diagnózis
céljából vizsgált esetek közül 8-ban egyéb, a nagyérvasculitistől független
gyulladásos kórképet mutattunk ki. Következtetés: A
18F-FDG-PET/CT hatékonyan alkalmazható az aktív
nagyérvasculitisek diagnosztizálásában. A metabolikus változás nagy érzékenységű
megjelenítése mellett az érintett erek pontos lokalizációját is lehetővé teszi.
A szteroidterápia befolyásolja az érfalak 18F-FDG-felvételét. Orv

Al Quran adalah mukjizat Islam yang kekal. Salah satu bentuk kemukjizatan Al Quran adalah dari aspek bahasanya dalam pemilihan kata yang tepat dan gaya bahasa yang indah. Aspek kemukjizatan Al Quran pun nampak dalam kandungannya yang berguna bagi manusia karena merupakan pedoman hidup yang utama dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan. Diantara bentuk keindahan kata dan makna Al Quran terletak pada pemilihan kata sakinah, mawaddah, dan rahmah dalam satu kalimat. Ketiga kata tersebut memiliki makna tertentu yang berbeda-beda akan tetapi saling berhubungan satu sama lain. Al Quran menggunakan kata sakinah, mawaddah, dan rahmah dalam beragam konteks. Disamping itu ketiga kata tersebut berimplikasi terhadap pendidikan keluarga sesuai dengan penyebutannya secara berurutan dalam satu kalimat tentang tema kehidupan rumah tangga. Melalui penelitian tentang relasi makna kata sakinah, mawaddah, dan rahmah perspektif semantik dan bingkai pendidikan, maka akan tersingkap makna masing-masing, baik secara leksikal maupun kontekstual; dan relasi makna antara ketiganya, selanjutnya akan tersingkap pula aspek-aspek pendidikan keluarga dari ketiga kata tersebut

Empleando la Cromatografía de Gases acoplada al detector Selectivo de Masas (CG/MS) se desarrolló y validó un método confiable y práctico para el análisis cualitativo de cocaína, heroína y morfina, previa optimización de las condiciones cromatográficas. Esta metodología se viene utilizando en forma rutinaria en los análisis de este tipo de sustancias en el Laboratorio de Estupefacientes del Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses de la Regional Bogotá. En esta validación retrospectiva, acorde con las normas se evalúo la especificidad o selectividad, repetibilidad (reproducibilidad) y el límite de detección de cocaína, heroína y morfina. Se caracterizó el tiempo de retención (TIC) de cada sustancia en estudio y el relativo al tetracosano. No se detectaron interferentes en el tiempo de retención (TIC) de cocaína, heroína y morfina, en presencia de aminopirina, benzocaína, cafeína, diltiazen, fenacetina, hidrocodona, levamizol, lidocaína, meperidina, procaína, codeína, papaverina, noscapina y tebaína. La concentración mínima detectada para cocaína fue 0,04 ng; para heroína 0,4 ng y para morfina 0,8 ng. La repetibilidad (reproducibilidad) evaluada para todas las sustancias en estudio fue menor del 1% cumpliendo especificaciones (Horwitz). De enero a octubre de 2009 en el laboratorio de estupefacientes de la regional Bogotá del INMLCF, se analizaron 1.526 muestras relacionadas con las sustancias en estudio. La cafeína es la sustancia adulterante que más se encuentra en el análisis de cocaína, heroína y morfina, seguida de fenacetina, lidocaina, levamizol, aminopirina, benzocaina, diltiazen y tereftalato.
O impacto cognitivo do bilinguismo no envelhecimento e a aquisição de segunda língua por aprendizes idosos
Authors: Schleder de Borba Lívia
Published: May 2020

Este artigo objetiva apresentar, através de uma revisão da literatura disponível, o que se sabe até o momento acerca do impacto cognitivo do bilinguismo ao longo da vida no envelhecimento e das peculiaridades do aprendiz idoso em seu processo de aquisição de segunda língua. Pesquisas recentes mostram que o bilinguismo pode atuar como um mecanismo protetor contra os declínios cognitivos associados ao envelhecimento. No entanto, há estudos que contestam essa visão e mostram a necessidade de novas investigações. Apesar dos numerosos estudos sobre bilinguismo e envelhecimento, é notória a falta de estudos acerca da aquisição de uma segunda língua por aprendizes idosos. Sabe-se que o desempenho cognitivo de idosos difere daquele de jovens adultos. Mais especificamente, estudos mostram déficits nas funções executivas e diminuição da velocidade de processamento (PARK; REUTER-LORENZ, 2014). Por isso, faz-se necessário perceber as peculiaridades do aprendiz idoso para investigar o seu processo de aquisição de uma segunda língua.
