Malaria (M), the first parasitic infection, is sometimes associated with nephrotic syndrome (NS) in tropical areas. Kidney involvement during quartan malaria is represented by immune-complex mediated glomerulonephritis (GN). Generally, NS develops several weeks after onset of quartan fever and its clinical course proceeds slowly to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) even after eradication of the infection. We describe a case of Plasmodium malariaeassociated nephrotic syndrome and chronic proliferative glomerulopathy in a boy from Uganda. Renal biopsy revealed chronic proliferative GN with capillary wall thickening producing a double contour, segmental sclerosis and tubular atrophy. Blood Giemsa smear contained rare ring-form trophozoites and gametocytes of Plasmodium spp. This case highlights the importance of obtaining remote travel histories from immigrants presenting with nephrotic syndrome especially due to the current immigration crisis in Europe. Malaria has low prevalence or less known in our continent and requires more medical attention by European doctors.

Acute ophthalmoparesis without ataxia (AO) is an atypical form of Miller- Fisher syndrome (MFS) and is rare in children. Anti-GQ1b antibodies can be detected in patients with AO, as in MFS. A 5.5-year-old girl had total ophthalmoparesis, blurred vision, ptosis, diplopia and mydriasis non-reactive to light or near stimuli with preserved consciousness and deep tendon reflexes. She had no ataxia. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination and cranial MRI were normal. Serum antiGQ1b antibodies were positive. She was diagnosed with AO and intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) was ordered, 400 mg/ kg/day, for 5 days. Ophthalmoparesis and blurred vision improved in a few weeks. At the end of the first year, mydriasis still persisted, but improved and became responsive to near stimuli. Pupillary involvement may be seen in approximately 50% of MFS patients, and improvement in a few weeks or months has been reported in adults. Our case shows the expanding clinical spectrum of anti-GQ1b positive cranial neuropathy as early-onset AO and prolonged mydriasis more than one year.

Cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA) is an uncommon cause of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) which is the failure of upper esophageal sphincter (UES) to relax during bolus passage. The diagnostic challenges in OPD have been overcome with the use of high resolution manometry (HRM) in children where a catheter based biomechanical evaluation testing of the oropharyngeal swallowing is performed. Herein, we present a case with severe dysphagia diagnosed as CPA utilizing HRM testing. An 8-year-old boy was seen in our clinic with a two-year history of difficult swallowing, recurrent respiratory tract infections, hypoxia and seizure secondary to aspiration. Esophagography revealed an indentation of the cricopharangeal muscle (CPM) in the cervical part of the esophagus. Videofluroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) revealed cricopharyngeal bar at level of C5-6 and diffuse dysmotility in esophagus. Conventional esophageal manometry revealed absence of peristaltic activity throughout the esophagus. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed narrowing in upper esophagus that with applied force allowed passage of the endoscope. The patient underwent UES dilatation 6 times. He had temporary relief of symptoms. Since he did not have sustained response to dilatation, a botulinium toxin (5IU/each quadrant) injection (BTI) to CPM was performed twice. His symptoms recurred at the end of 3 months. HRM was performed revealing weakness of CPM and uncoordinated contractions and relaxations in UES. We could not reliably differentiate if HRM findings were a sign of primary illness or secondary to BTI. Swallowing rehabilitation was adjusted based on HRM findings. He is still under follow-up with mild dysphagia to certain solids. CPA is an uncommon cause of dysphagia with limited therapeutic options. HRM should be performed in OPD before considering any treatment modality including esophageal dilatation and BTI. HRM has become gold standard diagnostic tool in OPD that provides objective evaluation of pharyngeal and UES motility in children.

An Empirical Analysis of the Relationship among Foreign Direct Investment, Gross Domestic Product, CO2 Emissions, Renewable Energy Contribution in the context of the Environmental Kuznets Curve and Pollution Haven Hypothesis Regarding Turkey
Authors: Karimov Mehman
Published: February 2020

This study examines the relationships between GDP per capita, CO2 emission, Renewable Energy Contribution (REC) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and evaluates the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) for Turkey. The EKC theory says that with increase in income per capita the pollution also increases but in a turning point when nation become richer pollution starts to decrease according to stringency of environmental regulations and implying advanced green technologies due to requirement of nation. In another hand the PHH assume that due to stringency of environmental regulations and high taxes the production become more expensive in developed countries, thus those dirty industries shifts from environmentally stricter developed countries to poor regulated developing countries. The aim of this study to analyze and investigate: which theory (EKC or PHH) does exist in Turkish economy and does FDI has positive impact on sustainable development. The time series datasets (FDI, GDP, CO2 and REC) , those were obtained from World Bank database, which covers the time period 1970-2014 were utilized in employed statistical models as the ADF Unit Root, Philips – Perron, Johansen co-integration, and the Granger Causality tests, to accomplish the empirical part of the paper. Based on the empirical results, it was approved that there wasn`t existence of the EKC theory in Turkish economy. But according to obtained empirical results it was affirmed that there was the presence of the PHH theory in Turkish economy which means the FDI has a negative impact on sustainable development of Turkish economy. Thus, the developed countries with stricter environmental regulations (mostly from Europe) relocate their heavily polluted dirty industries to Turkish economy.
Olha que COISA MAIS LINDA? Quatro mulheres num mar de desafios
Authors: Carvalho Gislene Danielle de , Gonzaga do Monti Ednardo Monteiro
Published: February 2020

O presente artigo analisa a perspectiva educativa da primeira temporada da série “Coisa Mais Linda” apresentada pela Netflix. A série traz quatro protagonistas com experiências distintas, em uma grande capital do Brasil, no início da década de 60. O artigo está estruturado em três tópicos. No primeiro trata-se sobre os familiares conservadores e suas influências sobre as quatro personagens, segue com interpretações sobre os desafios das mulheres no ambiente de trabalho, no qual pode-se refletir sobre o feminismo e o lugar da mulher negra dentro do movimento, e por último, apresentamos os avanços que as trajetórias das protagonistas indicam sobre as conquistas das mulheres nas décadas intermediárias do século XX. Nessa análise são mobilizadas as ideias de Norbert Elias e John L. Scotson (1994) como pensamento principal fundamentado no conceito de estabelecidos e outsiders, a perspectiva de Luis Felipe Miguel e Flávia Biroli (2014), sobre o feminismo e política e a discussão sobre a questão da mulher negra no Brasil por meio da análise de José Carlos Reis (2010). Como resultado é possível compreender que as quatro protagonistas de “Coisa Mais Linda” não encerram em si mesmas todas as vivências do gênero feminino no Brasil, porém, são capazes de nos fazer refletir sobre o enfretamento da dominância masculina e em como a solidariedade em as mulheres é útil para a emancipação desse grupo.
Recasting Food

Published: February 2020

This study is an ethnographic enquiry into the pre-school Supplementary Nutrition Programme (SNP), in India’s western Gujarat state. The broad objective was aimed at understanding the institutional barriers and sociological process that had led to the exclusion of families and children under the age of six from the SNP. This study was undertaken because despite enthusiastic State investment in human resources and food funding, the uptake of SNP was poor. The study method involved multi-sited ethnographies conducted in four rural villages of Gujarat. The research concluded that caste and religious identities shaped dominance and control, restriction of social interactions, and food commensality. The authors situate these compelling findings within the broader discourse of food as a process of ‘othering,’ and stigmatised identities as they relate to consumption of ‘polluting’ food, the symbolic role of food when coupled with caste, and association of religion with food. Observations of SNP delivery sites suggest that spatial and moral dimension of societal caste conflicts directly influence local ‘biologies’ by reproducing and amplifying such tensions in the Anganwadi health centres. Crucial symbolic and cultural markers of food, nutrition, distribution, and consumption are rendered invisible to official health providers resulting in failure of the SNP programme. Current research on global health advocating ‘scaling up of models’ is an ethical violation if it glosses local ecologies that shape poor uptake of SNP by the affected communities.

Authors: Blasco Martín Marta , Schulze Niklas , Herrera Buenrostro Kenia , Pérez Roldán Gilberto
Published: February 2020

We present a study of the bone industry from the archaeological site of La Montesita (Aguascalientes, Mexico). This settlement is being studied in the project led by Dr. Schulze and Dr. Pérez Roldán. La Montesita is located in the state of Aguascalientes, and it dates back approximately to the Epiclassic period, from 600-900 AD. The settlement has a semi-sparce distribution, where most of the housing units are located on the Montesita hill, hence the name. We analyzed a set of 24 objects made of bone. Within the set, the presence of awls stands out. Our analysis will focus on both its typological classification and a technological and functional analysis through the observation de visu of the pieces, a microscopic study and their comparison. Likewise, we emphasize the distribution of the bone tools in the different spatial contexts of the settlement. This allows us to obtain a global view of the recovered bone industry at the Montesita site, and thus reach a better understanding of the material culture in the North-Center of Mexico —a region of great archaeological value to which little attention has been paid by researchers.
A FIRST LOOK AT EQUID 'IDOLS' FROM TEPECIK-CIFTLIK, SOUTHERN CAPPADOCIA, TURKEY
Authors: Campana Douglas V. , Crabtree Pam J.
Published: February 2020

Excavation at the Pre-Pottery Neolithic, Pottery Neolithic, and Early Chalcolithic site of Tepecik-Çiftlik in the Niğde region of Southern Cappadocia, Turkey have been conducted since 2000 under the direction of Professor Erhan Biçakçi of Istanbul University. The excavations have yielded a rich assemblage of worked bone objects dating to the Neolithic and Chalcolithic Periods. One of the striking features of the assemblage is the presence of approximately 250 bone “idols”. These objects were made by flattening the dorsal and plantar/volar surfaces of equid first phalanges. Some also show more elaborate decoration. Measurements taken on these bones indicate that wild horse (Equus ferus) and hydruntine (Equus hemionus hydruntinus) proximal phalanges were used to produce these bone objects. This paper will illustrate how these how these bone objects were manufactured and how they were distributed chronologically within the site.
ROMAN AND LATE ROMAN BONE SPINNING TOOLS FROM STOBI, MACEDONIA
Authors: Kovancaliev Zlatko
Published: February 2020

This paper is concerned with bone spinning tools from the archaeological site of Stobi in the Republic of Macedonia. Most of the spinning tools come from burials, although there were a few tools discovered in the settlement. The earliest bone spinning tool dates to the late 1st century B.C. while the youngest are found in contexts from the 6th century A.D. The spinning tools are grouped into spindle whorls, spindles, and distaffs. Possible changes in the thickness of the spun thread in different periods can be seen through the different shape and weight of the presented spindle whorls. The irregular dispersions visible at the bottom side of two of these spindle whorls reveal the method of fastening the whorl to the spindle. Although spindles differ in the shape of their upper end, this cannot be associated with their chronological determination. What is in common for spindles is the burial context of discovery. The case is similar with the hand held distaffs, where three out of the four discovered thus far have burial contexts. By introducing other scholars’ research for these types of distaffs along with the attributes of examples from Stobi, the assumptions of their apotropaic and symbolic use will be discussed.
TOOLS OR SCRAPS? ANTLER WORKING IN TWO WELL-DATED COPPER AGE CONTEXTS IN THE MIDDLE GUADALQUIVIR BASIN (SOUTHERN IBERIA)
Authors: Martínez Sánchez Rafael M.
Published: February 2020

In the south of the Iberian Peninsula, as in many European sites, antler working has been a well-known technology since the Upper Paleolithic Period. However, apart from studies of the opportunistic use of unmodified elements such as antler-picks, antler working has been scarcely researched in the archaeology of the Neolithic and Copper Age in this region. This brief contribution focuses on three antler elements from the Andalusian Copper Age. Two of the elements are angular fragments recovered in the ditched enclosure of La Minilla (La Rambla, Córdoba), dated to around the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. The third object is a modified shed antler beam and basal part associated with a collective burial, dated to the end of 4th and early 3rd millennium Cal BC. It was discovered in the territory of modern Córdoba. These fragments are interpreted as waste material from manufacturing processes aimed at obtaining elongated blanks.

Published: February 2020

En este trabajo se modela la curva de progreso de la podredumbre blanca en cultivos de ajo, mediante modelos no lineales mixtos que contemplan el efecto de factores concomitantes en el desarrollo de las epidemias. Entre 2001 y 2003 en Cruz del Eje y Jesús María, Argentina, se evaluaron la densidad inicial de esclerocios (DIE) y la incidencia de la enfermedad quincenalmente hasta cosecha. Con DIE alta (>15 esclerocios/100 g de suelo) la incidencia final fue alta (64-100%) y con DIE baja (?15 esclerocios/100 g de suelo) varió entre 0-100%. El modelo logístico mixto seleccionado tuvo “interceptos” y pendientes aleatorias y diferentes para cada combinación de “ambiente” (localidad y año) y categoría de DIE (altas y bajas). La representación de las curvas epidémicas se hizo mediante tres curvas específicas de sitio, la típica con efecto aleatorio cero, que expresa la forma general del modelo y  las percentiles Q1 (0,25) y Q3 (0,75) que expresan la variabilidad.  La variabilidad de los “interceptos” y pendientes dependió solamente de la DIE, y fue menor en los “interceptos” con DIE “altas” que en aquellos con DIE “bajas”;en las pendientes se observó el efecto opuesto.
Evaluación de la diversidad morfológica en Crotalaria incana L. (Fabaceae, Faboideae), una leguminosa silvestre de valor forrajero
Authors: Planchuelo A. M. , Carreras M. E.
Published: February 2020

Crotalaria incana L. es una leguminosa subtropical de valor forrajero. Estudios morfológicos mostraron que las poblaciones cordobesas tienen similitud con C. megapotámica Burkart, endémica de Entre Ríos. Se estudiaron 58 materiales de herbario considerados unidades taxonómicas operacionales (OTUs). Se analizaron 58 caracteres exomorfológicos de los cuales 17 formaron parte de una matriz evaluada mediante análisis multi variado y componentes principales.El fenograma y los componentes principales separan las 58 OTUs en dos grupos diferenciados por la pubescencia, largo y ancho de los folíolos y largo de los pelos. Los caracteres atribuidos a C. megapotámica tienen valor discriminante positivo que no justifica su inclusión en la sinonimia de C. incana, pero a su vez,no tienen una gran significación taxonómica como para que C. megapotámica sea una especie independiente. Se establece que los materiales de Córdoba y de toda la Argentina sean tratados como un complejo taxonómico, denominado Crotalaria incana L. sensu lato. Se recomienda llamar a los grupos identificados como Grupo 1 y Grupo 2, hasta resolver los estatus nomenclaturales mediante estudios de tipos, revisión de nombres científicos y establecimiento de las correctas sinonimias. Se provee descripción morfológica e ilustración de C.incana L. s.l. y se listan los materiales estudiados.
Características reproductivas de Commelina erecta L. asociadas con su propagación en sistemas agrícolas
Authors: Nisensohn L.A , Tuesca D.H. , Vitta J.I.
Published: February 2020

Commelina erecta L. se reproduce por rizomas y por dos tipos de semillas. Se estudiaron los requerimientos de luz y temperatura para la germinación, la evolución de la dormición y la viabilidad de las semillas en el suelo, la emergencia de plántulas y macollos y la producción de biomasa aérea y semillas. La germinación de semillas recién cosechadas fue menor a 5% en las semillas ovoides y en las alargadas fue 91% con temperaturas alternadas. La longevidad en el suelo varió según el tipo de semilla: a los 12 meses no se recuperaron semillas alargadas mientras que a los 24 meses se recuperó el 14% de las ovoides.La emergencia de plántulas se inició en octubre y se extendió –de acuerdo al año – hasta diciembre o marzo. La brotación de rizomas abarcó desde octubre a febrero. El total de plántulas emergidas fue independiente de la presencia de plantas provenientes de rizomas y viceversa. En abril se registró un flujo adicional de emergencia de plántulas originadas de semillas producidas durante la misma estación de crecimiento. Las características reproductivas estudiadas permiten explicar la capacidad de esta especie para colonizar y persistir en los sistemas de producción de la región.
Efectos del asperjado con reguladores de crecimiento y del despunte, sobre la calidad de plantas de Verbena bonariensis cultivadas en maceta
Authors: Papone M.L. , Fatta N.
Published: February 2020

Verbena bonariensis es una especie autóctona que por la persistencia de la inflorescencia sería apta como planta de flor para maceta. Con el objetivo de lograr plantas bajas y de buena arquitectura, se probaron los reguladores de crecimiento (BAP-citoquinina y cycocel) y el corte de los ápices o pinzado. Durante el ensayo se midió la longitud del tallo principal, se contó el número de días a floración (DAF), de nudos, de ramificaciones surgidas de la base y de ramificaciones totales. También se contó el número de inflorescencias totales surgidas de brotes axilares y de yemas brotadas en el tallo principal. Cada planta se consideró una repetición y se contó con 10 repeticiones para cada tratamiento. En las plantas pinzadas, DAF y el número de inflorescencias totales y axilares fue menor y el número de ramificaciones basales al inicio de la floración fue mayor. El pinzado produjo plantas de mal aspecto y de escasa calidad ya que los tallos no ocuparon el centro de la planta. La BAP no favoreció el brotado lateral y el cycocel no originó plantas de menor altura que los otros tratamientos. Ninguna de las alternativas culturales elegidas fue efectiva para lograr el objetivo.

Soil pore size affects soil air and water dynamics, and thus influence crop productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of reduced-tillage (RT) and no-tillage (NT) systems on soil pore distribution under animal grazing. The soil was sampled at 0-5, 5-10, 10-15 and 15-20 cm depths before and after animal grazing. Bulk density, total porosity and the volume of three pore sizes (macropores, mesopores and micropores) were determined. Differences in total porosity between both tillage systems were statistically significant (P<0.01) in the top 10 cm layer before grazing. Lower total porosity in NT could be related to the effect of previous years'grazing. In RT, disk operations before planting the oat (Avena sativa) crop increased porosity values in the tilled zone at 0-10 cm and decreased them at depths below 10 cm. Macroporosity accounted for 32 (RT) and 20% (NT) of the total porosity in the soil surface, and decreased to 17 (RT) and 17% (NT) in deeper layers. Cattle trampling had a more pronounced effect under RT as compared with NT. Tillage operations increased macroporosity, which had been reduced by cattle trampling. Bulk density and total porosity were adversely affected below 15 cm depth.

Virtual microscopy (VM) using scanned slides and imaging software is increasingly used in medical curricula alongside instruction in conventional microscopy (CM). Limited reports suggest that VM is useful in the veterinary education setting, and generally well-received by students. Whether students can apply knowledge gained through VM to practical use is unknown. Our objective was to determine whether instruction using VM, compared to CM, is a successful method of training veterinary students for the application of cytology in practice (i.e., using light microscopes). Seventy-one veterinary students from Colorado State University who attended a voluntary 3-hour cytology workshop were randomized to receive the same instruction with either VM ( n = 35) or CM ( n = 36). We compared these students to a control group ( n = 22) of students who did not attend a workshop. All students took a post-workshop assessment involving the interpretation of four cases on glass slides with CM, designed to simulate the use of cytology in general practice. Students also took an 18-question survey related to the effectiveness of the workshop, providing their opinions on cytology instruction in the curriculum and their learning preference (VM or CM). The mean assessment score of the VM group (14.18 points) was significantly higher than the control group (11.33 points, p = .003), whereas the mean of the CM group (12.77 points) was not statistically significantly different from controls ( p = .170). Not only is VM an effective method of teaching cytology to veterinary students that can be translated to a real-world case scenario, but it outperformed CM instruction in this study.
