A Configuration of Some Soft Decision-Making Algorithms via fpfs-matrices
Authors: ENGİNOĞLU Serdar , MEMİŞ Samet
Published: December 2018

Since many problems have a large amount of data or uncertainty, the
computer mathematics has become compulsory. To deal with such kinds of these
problems, the concept of fuzzy parameterized fuzzy soft matrices (fpfs-matrices) has been defined by
Enginoğlu. In this paper, we first give some of its basic definitions. We then
configure some decision-making algorithms constructed by soft sets, fuzzy soft
sets, fuzzy parameterized soft sets, fpfs-sets,
and their matrix representations. We finally discuss later works.

Authors: DAŞTAN Taner , SARAÇ Handan
Published: December 2018

Evelik plant (Rumex crispus
L.), which is also known as Labada plant, is a perennial herbaceous plant
specie belonging to Polygonaceae family that are mostly a meter in length.  Rumex species have a distribution in the
Northern hemisphere and have more than 100 species. In Turkey, 24 Rumex species
are present. Evelik leaves are used frequently in the Anatolia for the
preparation of stuffed wraps. Additionally, it is one of the oldest plants
known to be used for herbal remedies. It is believed that this plant is
especially potent in gastrointestinal illnesses. Evelik leaves, but especially
the roots are used for drugs in medicine. In the present study, determination
of macro and micro nutritional elements was aimed in Evelik leaves sampled from
naturally grown plants in Sivas province. Phosphor (P) was determined
calorimetrically at 882 nm by using spectrophotometer. Potassium (K), Iron
(Fe), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), and Copper (Cu) were determined by using
Atomic absorbtion spectrometry. Nitrogen (N) was determined by using Kjeldahl
distillation method. Results revealed that the element concentrations
determined in Evelik leaves were N (2.59 %); P (0.360 %); K (6.85 %); Mg (0.66
%); Ca (0.48 %); Fe (225.8 mg/kg); Zn (27.5 mg/kg); Mn (30.4 mg/kg); Cu (8.9
mg/kg). In conclusion, it was revealed that the Evelik leaves are sufficient
for both macro and micro nutritional elements and have a higher K
concentration.

Spergularia (Caryophyllaceae) is
seen as a cosmopolitan breed, ranging from temperate regions of all continents
to sub-tropical climate regions, except for the Antarctic continent. Many of
these strains have been investigated chemically and pharmacologically, such as
hypoglycemic, diuretic, antihypertensive and cholesterol-lowering
agents, antidiabetic, anti-cholinesterase antidiabetic agents. There are seven
species of the genus second side being endemic in Turkey. In this study, all
samples collected had been digested by microwave digestion system then element
analysis of Spergularia rubra (L.) bitumen grown in the areas of Akdoğmuş, Çöl,
Çaykaya, Gölgelikonak and Üzümlük in Siirt and surrounding areas was carried
out by ICP-OES. The highest values of Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Li, Mn, Mo, Nb, Pb,
Sb and Se were found to be 1.44, 1.62, 1.95, 8.38, 10.21, 5.78, 64.60, 1.51,
9.78, 2.87, 3.43 mg / L, respectively; Fe, K, Mg and Na values were found to be
1.56, 23.72, 14.82, 33.66 g / L. The highest concentrations of Na and K were
found in Akdoğmuş and the concentrations of Fe and Mg were found in the Çöl.
Chemometric techniques such as correlation, PCA and CA have been applied to
saline areas and elemental contents.  In
the chemometric study, it was seen that the correlations at 99% level were very
high. From the principle component analysis (PCA), the first two eigenvalues
were found to be ≥1. Two factors were found after maximal rotation and
commonality.

Telegramming News: How have Telegram channels transformed journalism in Iran?
Authors: KERMANİ Hossein
Published: December 2018

This research tries to evaluate Telegram’s effects on journalism and news writing in Iran. The emergence of social
media has affected many social and political trends in societies, as well as journalism practices and procedures.
Telegram, as the most popular social media in Iran, hypothetically has the power to do so. Moreover, there are
numerous channels on Telegram which publish news posts daily. Therefore, I tried to explore how these channels
impact journalism in Iran. Doing so, I analyzed how the structure of news is transformed by the emergence of
new forms of news writing and the disappearance of traditional standards. Furthermore, I probed the news
values on Telegram channels to find out how a piece of writing becomes a news in this new space. Finally, I
studied how objectivity was treated by Telegram channels, to provide a comprehensive interpretation of news
on Telegram. A wide range of textual methods (both quantitative and qualitative content analyses and discourse
analysis) were employed to analyze the most viewed posts on Telegram channels during Iran’s 2017 presidential
election period. As a result, 620 posts in 31 days were gathered and analyzed. The results showed that the news
structure has changed more than the ways that channels use news values. In fact, the old standards of news
writing are abandoned and new forms, such as screenshots, have emerged. Moreover, prominence is the most
favorable news value on these channels; while relevance and magnitude are of least interest. Finally, findings
revealed that the majority of news posts are objective.
Hollywood en los relatos pulp de Robert Leslie Bellem = Hollywood in Robert Leslie Bellem’s pulp stories.
Authors: Gutiérrez José Ismael
Published: December 2018

Todas las acciones de los cuentos sobre Dan Turner, escritos por Robert Leslie Bellem para las revistas pulp, transcurren en el contexto de la industria cinematográfica hollywoodense. Este artículo indaga en las diversas situaciones criminales y en los tipos de personajes que aparecen en esta serie detectivesca: estrellas de cine, dobles, productores, agentes, extras, una infinidad de glamurosas starlets…, de los que el narrador autodiegético (es decir, el detective protagonista) proyecta una imagen nada idealizada.This article examines some characteristics of the series about Dan Turner written Robert Leslie Bellem.In these short stories, crime, intrigue, detective investigation, sexual content and satire are mixed with a colorful and colloquial linguistic style. All their actions take place in the context of the Hollywoodfilm industry (of which Bellem had personal knowledge). So this irreverent detective’s mysteries are also linked to the genre category which we call "Hollywood narrative", which emerges over the courseof the silent film era. In this sense, the work researches the types of characters that appear in these short stories -film stars, stuntmen, producers, agents, extras, an endless array of glamorous femalestarlets…-, all of whom are depicted by an autodiegetic narrator (that is, the detective-protagonist) in a clearly non-idealized and funny fashion.
La variación de los conectores consecutivos en los romanceamientos bíblicos castellanos = Consecutive connectors in some Medieval Castillian translated (romanced) texts from The Bible.
Authors: Garrido Martín Blanca
Published: December 2018

Este trabajo versa sobre la variación lingüística dada en las traducciones de la Biblia, especialmente las cuatrocentistas, con respecto a los conectores utilizados para expresar la relación de consecutividad. Así, se observa cómo las distintas traducciones versionan de manera distinta, confirmando las tendencias y caracterizaciones previas de los romanceamientos medievales de la Biblia. Por otra parte, se aportan datos acerca de los conectores consecutivos más utilizados en cada uno de los testimonios según, primero, su caracterización lingüística como texto del siglo XV y como traducción, segundo, el término hebreo original y, tercero, el modo discursivo.This work deals with the linguistic variation and the usage of different consequence connectors in theMedieval translations of the Bible, especially those dated in the 15th century. As a result of this study,we can observe that these translations offer several versions of the same passage, corroborating previoustendences and caracterizations exposed in other studies. Moreover, we contribute with more data about the more frequent consequence connectors depending on, firstly, the manuscript, its linguistic caracterization as a 15th-century text, as well as a translation; secondly, the original term in the Hebrew Bible; and finally, the mode of discourse.
La construcción interrogativa ¿(a)dólo? en los romanceamientos bíblicos del español antiguo = The ¿(a)dólo? Interrogative sentences in Old Spanish Bible translations
Authors: Del Barrio de la Rosa Florencio
Published: December 2018

La construcción ¿(a)dólo? ha recibido poca atención en la bibliografía especializada. Este trabajo describe las propiedades gramaticales de la construcción como un tipo de construcción presentativa y existencial. Además, el artículo contribuirá al estudio diacrónico de los enunciados interrogativos, concentrándose en las preguntas retóricas. El análisis mostrará cómo las propiedades gramaticales y las funciones pragmáticas de ¿(a)dólo? convierten esta partícula en un indicador de retoricidad en español antiguo. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, el estudio se beneficia de un corpus paralelo de traducciones bíblicas castellanas y sus fuentes latinas y hebreas (Biblia Medieval). The Old Spanish ¿(a)dólo? particle has barely been described in the literature. This study provides ananalysis of the ¿(a)dólo? sentences as existential/presentational constructions. Likewise, the paper will give some insight into the history of interrogative acts paying close attention to rhetorical questions. The analysis will show that the grammatical properties and pragmatic functions of ¿(a)dólo? enable this particle to signal rhetoricity in Old Spanish. Methodologically, this study profits from a parallel corpus of Old Spanish bible translations and their Latin or Hebrew original texts (Biblia Medieval).

A pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o desenvolvimento do milho solteiro e consorciado com B. ruziziensis, após aplicações de Azospirillum brasilense. O experimento foi conduzido na Embrapa-CPAO, Dourados-MS. O delineamento experimental foi DBC em parcelas subdivididas com quatro repetições. As parcelas principais foram milho solteiro e consorciado; nas subparcelas as aplicações de A. brasilense: T1) P-K (testemunha); T2) P-K + A. brasilense foliar; T3) P-K + A. brasilense na semente; T4) N-P-K; T5) N-P-K + A. brasilense foliar; T6) N-P-K + N em cobertura; T7) N-P-K + A. brasilense na semente; T8) N-P-K + A. brasilense na semente + N em cobertura. Na floração avaliou-se altura da planta, inserção da espiga, diâmetro do colmo, índice de área foliar, clorofila a, b e total, e na colheita a biomassa seca total do milho, de 100 grãos, de grãos por espiga e rendimento de grãos. Nas folhas verdes, nos grãos e nos tecidos secos da planta após colheita, foram avaliados teores de N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Fe, B, Mn e Zn. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey (p<0,05). A aplicação de A. brasilense estimulou o crescimento do milho safrinha, independentemente da modalidade de cultivo. Utilização de N e de A. brasilense na semeadura resulta no melhor desenvolvimento vegetativo do milho sem interferir na produtividade de grãos.
DESENVOLVIMENTO DE TÉCNICA DE CLONAGEM DE PLANTAS POR PROCESSO DE ESTAQUIAS IN VITRO EMPREGANDO VITAMINA B1 COMO REGULADOR DE ENRAIZAMENTO
Authors: Contieri G. A. , Chini M. A. , Margarido V. O. , Pelegrini R. T.
Published: December 2018

Este trabalho visou desenvolver uma metodologia de clonagem combinando as técnicas de estaquia e em in vitro realizada em laboratório. A técnica por estaquia utiliza elevadas concentrações de substâncias reguladoras de enraizamento e dificulta o acompanhamento visual do desenvolvimento radicular por ser inserida diretamente no solo. A técnica in vitro demanda laboratórios e operações sofisticadas. Ambas as tecnologias disponíveis são de elevado custo. Assim, objetivou-se estudar uma nova metodologia que não demandasse laboratórios sofisticados nem custos elevados e que permitisse um bom acompanhamento visual dos estudos. Para reduzir custos com insumos foi empregado vitamina B1 (Cloridrato de Tiamina) como substância reguladora de enraizamento misturada a uma solução de macro e micronutrientes em concentrações otimizadas para o desenvolvimento das plantas. Sobre a solução de nutrientes foram adicionados 0,8% de Agar para formação de uma camada de nutrientes em gel onde foram acondicionadas estaquias da espécie Callianthe striata (Dicks. ex Lindl.) Donnel (Malvaceae) para realização dos experimentos. Esta espécie é conhecida como lanterna chinesa e é muito utilizada em jardinagem. Após 30 dias de clonagem observou-se germinação em torno de 40 a 50% das estaquias com aparecimento de folhas e raízes. As plantas com melhor desenvolvimento foram transferidas para vasos com substratos nutrientes. Decorridos dois anos pôde-se observar plantas sadias com produção de flores similares à matriz. Esta nova técnica de clonagem apresenta custo muito baixo, sem exigir laboratórios sofisticado e é de fácil operação.

Published: December 2018

Os resíduos sólidos urbanos apresentam constituintes bastante diversos na sua produção e volume e estão relacionados a fatores específicos de cada região, tais como clima, padrão de consumo, estilo de vida, grau de urbanização e industrialização. A influência destes fatores determinam as características físicas dos resíduos produzidos por determinado município. Tendo como objetivo caracterizar os resíduos sólidos urbanos depositados em um aterro sanitário de um município no interior do Estado de São Paulo para compreensão do perfil de consumo e as potencialidades econômicas presentes nestes resíduos sólidos. Para isso foi realizado um estudo da composição gravimétrica para conhecer os diversos componentes que constituem os resíduos sólidos urbanos depositados no aterro sanitário do município objeto de estudo. Os resultados desta análise mostraram que 72,94% dos resíduos depositados no aterro sanitários possuem potencialidades para outras atividades econômicas, tais como compostagem, por apresentar uma grande massa de resíduo orgânico (44,89%), e reciclagem/reaproveitamento. Considerando o potencial econômico da fração de reciclagem, os resultados mostraram que os resíduos que são descartados poderiam gerar uma renda de aproximadamente R$ 2.700,00 mensais, que para municípios com o mesmo perfil, esta receita estaria contribuindo na renda de ao menos duas famílias que trabalham com a reciclagem de materiais.
Post-Tenure Reflections on Community-Engaged Scholarship in a Psychology Research Setting
Authors: Jacquez Farrah M
Published: December 2018

Community-engaged scholarship emphasizes community partnership in the teaching, research, and service roles faculty pursue. Traditionally, psychological research places the highest value on tightly controlled, laboratory-based research led by faculty as “expert” and community as “subjects.” The difference in values between traditional research and community-engaged research can serve as a paradigm-level barrier to community-engaged scholarship for psychologists working in research settings. I discuss my personal experience as a faculty member with a community-based participatory research (CBPR) orientation and describe four suggestions to increase community-engaged scholarship among psychology researchers in similar high-research institutions: (a) revise promotion and tenure documents to recognize it; (b) update IRB reviews to support it; (c) earmark internal funding specifically for it; and (d) create networks to spread it.
The Life, Work and Legacy of Ernest A. Lynton (1926–1998)
Authors: Ward Elaine
Published: December 2018

Learning about Ernest Lynton’s rich life has been interesting for me to uncover.  Where many of us only know Ernest through his writings, I have come to learn the origins of the motivations for his work and commitments to advancing the public purpose of higher education and the scholarship of engagement.
The significance of the title of the first issue of Metropolitan Universities Journal in 1990, Identity and Culture, is not lost on me as I seek to understand more fully the life, lived experiences, and identity of Ernest A. Lynton that moved him to influence cultural shifts within higher education toward increased value and legitimatization of useful, publicly engaged work.  As a researcher, I am driven to understand our individual and collective motivations for our community engagement scholarly work.  What are our aspirations for this work and its broader impact in society?  Why do what we do and how can what we do influence the greater public good.  As a steward of change (Ward and Miller, 2106), I seek ways to use our individual and collective understandings to lift up and advance institutional commitments to civic and community engagement as we help our higher education institutions hold fast to and more fully realize their responsibilities to individuals and communities beyond our walls.
Even Simple Processes of π-calculus are Hard for Analysis
Authors: Abbas Marat M. , Zakharov Vladimir A.
Published: December 2018

Mathematical models of distributed computations, based on the calculus of mobile processes (π-calculus) are widely used for checking the information security properties of cryptographic protocols. Since π-calculus is Turing-complete, this problem is undecidable in general case. Therefore, the study is carried out only for some special classes of π-calculus processes with restricted computational capabilities, for example, for non-recursive processes, in which all runs have a bounded length, for processes with a bounded number of parallel components, etc. However, even in these cases, the proposed checking procedures are time consuming. We assume that this is due to the very nature of the π -calculus processes. The goal of this paper is to show that even for the weakest model of passive adversary and for relatively simple protocols that use only the basic π-calculus operations, the task of checking the information security properties of these protocols is co-NP-complete.
Translation from Event-B into Eiffel
Authors: Reznikova Sofia , Rivera Victor , Lee Joo Young , Mazzara Manuel
Published: December 2018

Formal modelling languages play a key role in the development of software: they enable users to specify functional requirements that serve as documentation as well; they enable users to prove the correctness of system properties, especially for critical systems. However, there is still an open question on how to map formal models to a specific programming language. In order to propose a solution, this paper presents a source-to-source mapping between Event-B models, a formal modelling language for reactive systems, and Eiffel programs, an Object Oriented (O-O) programming language. The mapping not only generates an actual Eiffel code of the Event-B model, but also translates model properties as contracts. The contracts follow the Design by Contract principle and are natively supported by the programming language. The mapping is implemented in the freely available Rodin plug-in EB2Eiffel. Thus, users can develop systems (i) starting with the modelling of functional requirements (properties) in Event-B, then (ii) formally proving the correctness of such properties in Rodin and finally (iii) by using EB2Eiffel to translate the model into Eiffel. In Eiffel, users can extend/customise the implementation of the model and formally prove it against the initial model. This paper also presents different Event-B models from the literature to test EB2Eiffel and its limitations. The article is published in the authors’ wording.
Application of Genetic Algorithms for Finding Edit Distance between Process Models
Authors: Kalenkova Anna A. , Kolesnikov Danil A.
Published: December 2018

Finding graph-edit distance (graph similarity) is an important task in many computer science areas, such as image analysis, machine learning, chemicalinformatics. Recently, with the development of process mining techniques, it became important to adapt and apply existing graph analysis methods to examine process models (annotated graphs) discovered from event data. In particular, finding graph-edit distance techniques can be used to reveal patterns (subprocesses), compare discovered process models. As it was shown experimentally and theoretically justified, exact methods for finding graph-edit distances between discovered process models (and graphs in general) are computationally expensive and can be applied to small models only. In this paper, we present and assess accuracy and performance characteristics of an inexact genetic algorithm applied to find distances between process models discovered from event logs. In particular, we find distances between BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) models discovered from event logs by using different process discovery algorithms. We show that the genetic algorithm allows us to dramatically reduce the time of comparison and produces results which are close to the optimal solutions (minimal graph edit distances calculated by the exact search algorithm).
Word Embedding for Semantically Relative Words: an Experimental Study
Authors: Karyaeva Maria S. , Braslavski Pavel I. , Sokolov Valery A.
Published: December 2018

The ability to identify semantic relations between words has made a word2vec model widely used in NLP tasks. The idea of word2vec is based on a simple rule that a higher similarity can be reached if two words have a similar context. Each word can be represented as a vector, so the closest coordinates of vectors can be interpreted as similar words. It allows to establish semantic relations (synonymy, relations of hypernymy and hyponymy and other semantic relations) by applying an automatic extraction. The extraction of semantic relations by hand is considered as a time-consuming and biased task, requiring a large amount of time and some help of experts. Unfortunately, the word2vec model provides an associative list of words which does not consist of relative words only. In this paper, we show some additional criteria that may be applicable to solve this problem. Observations and experiments with well-known characteristics, such as word frequency, a position in an associative list, might be useful for improving results for the task of extraction of semantic relations for the Russian language by using word embedding. In the experiments, the word2vec model trained on the Flibusta and pairs from Wiktionary are used as examples with semantic relationships. Semantically related words are applicable to thesauri, ontologies and intelligent systems for natural language processing.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe correlations between glucose, insulin and adipokine levels and the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index with regards to the presence/absence of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) rs9939609 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-y rs1801282 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as indicators of body mass index in adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between September and December 2016 in Toluca, Mexico. A total of 71 students between 14–18 years old were included. Various anthropometric and laboratory measurements were collected, including lipid profile, glucose, insulin and adipokine levels and HOMA index. The degree of association between variables was evaluated with regards to the presence/absence of the SNPs. Results: Leptin levels were significantly higher among female students (P = 0.001), although adiponectin levels did not differ significantly (P = 0.060). There were significant positive correlations between insulin levels and HOMA index with FTO (r = 0.391; P = 0.007 and r = 0.413; P = 0.005, respectively) and PPARγ (r = 0.529; P = 0.007 and r = 0.537; P = 0.007, respectively) SNPs. Leptin showed a significant positive correlation in the presence of PPARγ (r = 0.483; P = 0.007) or in the absence of both SNPs (r = 0.627; P = 0.039). However, adiponectin was significantly negatively correlated in the presence of FTO, either alone (r = −0.333; P = 0.024) or in combination with PPARγ (r = −0.616; P = 0.043). Conclusion: The presence of FTO and/or PPARγ SNPs might be related to a genetic predisposition to metabolic syndrome.Keywords: Obesity; Body Mass Index; Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms; Fat Mass and Obesity Associated Protein, Human; Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma; Adipokines.

Published: December 2018

Objectives: This study aimed to establish lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and β-glucuronidase as salivary biomarkers of periodontitis among smokers and non-smokers. Methods: This cross-sectional case-control study was conducted at the Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, between January and June 2017. A total of 200 participants were divided into four groups based on their periodontal and smoking statuses. Unstimulated mixed saliva samples were collected to estimate LDH and β-glucuronidase levels. In addition, total protein was estimated using Lowry’s method. Results: There was a significant increase in enzyme activity in the periodontitis groups compared to the non-periodontitis groups (P <0.001). However, significantly lower enzyme activity was observed among smokers, irrespective of periodontal status (P <0.001). Nevertheless, a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated the diagnostic potential of both enzymes to be fair-to-excellent. Conclusion: Although smoking was found to significantly alter enzyme activity, LDH and β-glucuronidase were reliable salivary biomarkers of periodontitis among both smokers and non-smokers.Keywords: Periodontitis; Biomarkers; Saliva; Lactate Dehydrogenase; beta-Glucuronidase; Smoking; Tobacco Use; India.

Methods: This retrospective study analysed 121,443 satisfactory CS samples collected between 1997–2014 at the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital, Kuwait. Conventional CS samples were obtained between 1997–2005, while modified CS were obtained between 2006–2014 following the introduction of ThinPrep® testing (Hologic Corp., Bedford, Massachusetts, USA). All samples were initially screened by cytoscreeners before being analysed by cytopathologists to determine the presence of specific infectious agents. Results: Overall, 8,836 (7.28%) of the cervical samples had infectious agents; of these, 62.48% were conventional and 37.52% were modified CS samples. The most frequently observed infectious agents were Candida species (76.05%), Trichomonas vaginalis (9.72%), human papillomavirus (HPV; 9.3%), Actinomyces-like organisms (3.23%), Chlamydia trachomatis (1.27%) and the herpes simplex virus (HSV; 0.43%). There were significantly more cases of Candida species, HPV-associated changes, C. trachomatis, T. vaginalis and Actinomyces-like organisms detected in conventional compared to modified CS samples (P <0.050 each). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of HSV-associated changes (P = 0.938). The presence of two infectious agents in the same sample was identified in 0.87% of samples. Conclusion: Among CS samples collected during an 18-year period, Candida species were most frequently detected, followed by T. vaginalis and HPV. The identification of potential infectious agents is a valuable additional benefit of Papanicolaou smear testing.Keywords: Cervical Smears; Papanicolaou Test; Infection; Candida; Trichomonas vaginalis; Human Papilloma Virus; Cytology; Kuwait.

Objectives: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) can have varied and life-threatening manifestations. This study aimed to examine the spectrum of its clinical presentations and outcomes in a tertiary hospital in Oman. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, between January 2009 and December 2017. The medical records of all patients with CVT were reviewed to determine demographic characteristics, clinical features and patient outcomes. Results: A total of 30 patients had CVT. The mean age was 36.8 ± 11 years and the male-to-female ratio was 2:3. Common manifestations included headache (83%), altered sensorium (50%), seizures (43%) and hemiparesis (33%). Underlying risk factors were present in 16 patients (53%). Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was abnormal in all patients, with indications of infarcts (40%) and major sinus thrombosis (100%). There were five cases (20%) of deep CVT. The patients were treated with low-molecular-weight heparin, mannitol and anticonvulsants. The majority (77%) had no residual neurological deficits at follow-up. Conclusion: These findings indicate that CVT is a relatively uncommon yet treatable disorder in Oman. A high index of suspicion, early diagnosis, prompt anticoagulation treatment and critical care may enhance favourable patient outcomes.Keywords: Venous Thrombosis; Cerebral Thrombosis; Cranial Venous Sinuses; Neurological Manifestations; Patient Outcome Assessment; Oman.
A New Variant of Dual Left Anterior Descending Artery Anomaly: Type XI
Authors: Al-Umairi Rashid S. , Al-Kindi Faiza A. , Al-Tai Saqar A.
Published: December 2018

A dual left anterior descending (LAD) artery is a rare congenital anomaly which is classified into different types based on the origin, course and termination of the short and long LAD arteries. To date, 10 variants of dual LAD artery anomalies have been described. We report a 44-year-old woman who was referred to the Department of Radiology, Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2017. Coronary computed tomography angiography revealed a dual LAD artery anomaly in which the short and long LAD arteries shared a common ostium with the right coronary artery from the right coronary sinus. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this type of variant has not been previously reported in the literature.Keywords: Coronary Angiography; Congenital Abnormality; Coronary Vessel Anomalies; Case Report; Oman.
Two Different Causes of Paediatric Hypercalcaemia
Authors: Kutilek Stepan , Plasilova Ivana , Chrobok Viktor
Published: December 2018

Paediatric hypercalcaemia is a rare condition which can be easily overlooked or misdiagnosed. We report two paediatric patients who presented to the Department of Paediatrics, Pardubice Hospital, Pardubice, Czech Republic, in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Each patient was diagnosed with hypercalcaemia due to a different cause. The first case involved a seven-month-old infant who presented with failure to thrive, vomiting and psychomotor retardation. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation revealed Williams-Beuren syndrome. The second patient was a 16-year-old girl with abdominal pain and renal colic due to hypercalcaemia-induced urolithiasis. High parathyroid hormone serum levels suggested primary hyperparathyroidism. An adenoma of the left upper parathyroid gland was diagnosed via technetium-99m-labelled methoxyisobutyl isonitrile single photon emission computed tomography and removed surgically. Hypercalcaemia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of various disease states, particularly among infants who fail to thrive or children with abdominal pain.Keywords: Hypercalcemia; Williams-Beuren Syndrome; Hyperparathyroidism; Parathyroid Adenoma; Case Report; Czech Republic.

The present paper aims to investigate the rhetoric of the Hungarian far right about Roma by the Parliamentary speeches of far right politicians. It unfolds the topics, discourses how the MPs of MIÉP and Jobbik talked about Roma. Within these topics it examines the different represen-tations, images of Roma used by far right politicians during those Parliamentary terms during which they entered the Parliament. The paper identifies when and how the far right has talked about Roma and unfolds how the far right rhetoric has contributed to maintaining, reproducing or even strengthening the anti-Roma attitudes in the Hungarian society.
Interpersonal relationships in Hungary – an overview
Authors: Fruzsina Albert , Beáta Dávid
Published: December 2018

Our paper aims to demonstrate that social structure has significant impact on the formation ofinterpersonal relations. We review and analyse the characteristics of ego-centric interpersonalnetworks of Hungarians based on data from nationally representative adult population surveysbetween the mid-1980’s up to 2015. We focus especially on core discussion networks, friendshipties and weak ties and analyse how the transition to market economy influenced interpersonalrelationships. As expected, the large-scale social changes brought about by the transitionchanged interpersonal networks as well. During the first decade of the transition (in the 1990’s)one could not witness a significant change of personal networks, nonetheless the adaptationprocess was easier for people supported by strong, traditional family ties. Non-kin ties, especiallyfriendships seem to gain significance at the expense of kin relationships. Overall, resourcesavailable through weak ties seem to be decreasing.

Does culture have an impact on society, and if so, how? The study by Nathan Nunn and Leonard Wantchekon set out to examine the impact of the slave trade, which has left its mark on the African continent and its economy, but which ended some 100 years ago, on the cultural, norm-following, beliefs and values of individuals. Their aim is to explore the reasons that led to the historical disconnect within Africa between local governments or municipalities (politics), between the outlying communities (neighbours) and even within family relations, which may still influence economic development today. Nunn and Wantchekon's hypothesis is based on an earlier study by Nunn, which showed a causal link between the 400-year slave trade and the income conditions of the African population today, looking at the long-term economic effects of the slave trade.

The aim of this study is analyse the free time allocation in different types of secondary schools in Hungary. The use of free time is connected with social inequalities and the agglomeration of cultural capital so these patterns are rooted most of all in the social background. Besides, educational sociology involves an institutional effect in this field as well. Hungary has got a selective educational system and the different types of secondary schools refermainly to specific social groups so the differences in the use of free time can be significant. The database of HungarianYouth Research has been used during this analysis. This database is representative for regions, types of settlement, age and gender (N = 8000) and the subsample of secondary school students can be separated. Quantity of free time, places of free time, features of „screen time activites” and cultural activities have been analysed. Means, chi-sqare statistic, ANOVA-test, factor analysis and linear regression model were used. Our empirical finding scan show the different free time patterns of the subsamples (grammar school, secondary vocational school and vocational school).

We study graduate trainees’ (short) paths of four „social courses” and their transition from higher education to the labour market. We have thought in cases of the chosen social courses, that differences can become perceivable besides similarities. It has also been assumed that sociologists of the four chosen professions can be characterized by a diverse labour market behaviour from the other ones. It can be partially explained by the objectives, the content of their courses and the flexibility of the prospective institutional system. Compared to the above in cases of other social courses a diverse picture has been experienced by us based on the socio-demographic background and experience in labour market, expectations and satisfaction. Social workers and socio-politicians’ socio-demographic indicators are quite similar just like the socio-politicians and sociologists’ indicators are. This may be due to the effect of the level of master/academic education. We analyse the results of Graduate Tracking System (GTS) 2015 data collection in our presentation. The research was carried out by the Educational Office in co-operation with higher education institutions in the form of an online questionnaire. We sorted the respondents of the four chosen courses (828) out of all graduated (20 579).

Authors: Souza Elma Rafaela de
Published: December 2018

Na maioria dos casos uma gravidez não planejada ou diagnosticada precocemente faz com que muitas mulheres acabem expondo seu feto a riscos como substâncias de abuso, medicamentos ou doenças maternas mal controladas. Mediante isso, tem crescido as estratégias para a implementação da consulta pré-concepcional que tem o intuito de contribuir ainda mais para a melhoria dos índices de morbimortalidade materna e infantil. Nesta perspectiva, esse estudo tem como objetivo “Compreender a importância da atenção pré - concepcional na saúde materno infantil”. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, onde foi realizado o levantamento sobre a relevância da atenção pré-concepcional na saúde materno infantil, processado em bases de dados nacionais que contem artigos e dissertações. As palavras chaves utilizadas nas janelas de buscas eletrônicas foram: saúde da mulher, pré-concepcional, enfermagem. A saúde reprodutiva implica que as pessoas possam ter uma vida sexual segura e satisfatória, e que possa decidir se, quando e com que frequência ter filhos. As consultas pré-concepcionais tem como principais objetivos determinar o risco concepcional, por meio da história reprodutiva, familiar e médica, avaliando se não tem nenhum risco fetal para que ocorra a gravidez nesse momento. Em vista disso, que foi demonstrado nos estudos realizados, constata-se que a atenção pré-concepcional tem demonstrado ser um fator importante para um melhor prognóstico da gravidez e mesmo do parto, sendo essencial na saúde materno infantil.
