Liturgia sercem pisana! Ks. prof. dr hab. Jan Józef Janicki i jego Mistrzowie
Authors: Tyrała Robert
Published: November 2017

Skoro „liturgia jest źródłem i szczytem życia Kościoła” (KL 10), jak naucza nas Sobór Watykański II, to z niej wszystko wypływa i do niej wszystko zdąża. O takim właśnie rozumieniu tej „cząstki” życia Kościoła niezwykle przekonany jest Jubilat, który dla piękna tej szaty Kościoła, jaką jest liturgia, poświęcił swoje naukowe i życiowe dociekania, dlatego można powiedzieć o nim, że liturgię sercem pisał! Kierunki badań naukowych Księdza Profesora Jana Józefa Janickiego koncentrują się wokół następujących zagadnień: teologii liturgii (podstawowe rzeczywistości liturgiczne, teologia tekstów euchologijnych nowych ksiąg liturgicznych Kościoła, misterium paschalne i jego uobecnienie w Eucharystii i w roku liturgicznym); historii liturgii (wpływy kultury hebrajskiej, helleńskiej i rzymskiej na liturgię chrześcijańską, liturgia pierwszych wieków Kościoła, dzieje ksiąg liturgicznych); historii lat świętych – jubileuszowych (historia ruchu liturgicznego, historia kongresów eucharystycznych, rola świętych w życiu Kościoła w świetle formularzy mszalnych); duszpasterstwa liturgicznego (liturgia wypełnianiem posługi uświęcania we wspólnocie Kościoła, posługa zakrystiana, liturgia w Ziemi Świętej). Wydaje się, że całkowitą drogę „pisania sercem liturgii” zaszczepił mu jeden z najważniejszych teologów i historyków liturgii po Vaticanum II, a był nim benedyktyński mnich z opactwa Maria Laach o prof. Burkhard Neunheuser. Ten wyjątkowy człowiek, profesor Pontificio Istituto Liturgico w Rzymie, stał się mentorem i wskazującym kierunek dla rozwoju naukowego naszego Jubilata.Kluczowe dla nauczania o soborowej liturgii przez o. Neunheusera było zwrócenie uwagi na misterium paschalne, które jest centrum roku liturgicznego i każdej czynności Kościoła. To bowiem Męka, Śmierć i Zmartwychwstanie oraz Wniebowstąpienie Chrystusa, przez które właśnie dokonują się najważniejsze „cuda”, a są to uwielbienie Boga i odkupienie człowieka (zob. KL 5, 6). To jest wydarzenie centralne w historii zbawienia. Skoro Boży plan zbawienia urzeczywistnia się w Chrystusie, to w centrum chrześcijaństwa znajduje się Pascha, czyli ofiara. Kościół bierze aktywny udział w Jego ofierze, Jego ofiarę czyni swoją ofiarą i przez niego zostaje podniesiony z tego świata do Boga oraz uwielbiony. To zaś uczestnictwo w ofierze jest dziełem łaski, potrzebna jest więc wiara, a dokonuje się to w misterium kultu. Wszystko to, czemu służyli przez całą historię odnowy liturgii wielcy jej piewcy tej miary co dom Prosper Gueranger, Pius Parch, Odo Casel, Romano Guardini i inni, a także Burkhard Neunheuser, było niezwykle ważne dla tego, aby misterium paschalne wkorzenić w życie człowieka. I dlatego wydaje się, że tu znajduje się owa nić, która łączy tych wielkich i wspaniałych liturgistów z naszym Jubilatem, który głosi z dużym powodzeniem misterium paschalne.
Problem istnienia w filozofii greckiej (ujęcie Charlesa H. Kahna)
Authors: Kokoć Damian
Published: November 2017

Scholars agree that question of existence was ignored by the ancient Greeks. The main cause of such a state was the way that the ancients perceived the world. We can found this imgage not only in their mythology, but also in their philosophy. Jacek Wojtysiak claims, for antic Hellenes the world was relatively contingent, which means that for them anything that was, was not something necessary, because the whole reality was constantly changing. Therefore, the universe and its laws could receive different form that they have now. But the ancients didn’t perceived reality as radically contingent, which means that they received the universe as eternal and it was impossible that it would not exist. This is the way Greeks concentrated on the question of nature of the reality, what was it basic substance, and what decide that the universe was what it was.Charles H. Kahn’s considerations are important in the study of the ancient conception of being and existence. Basing on the analysis of language of ancient Greeks, he answers the question why they didn’t considered the question of existence. Kahn claims that for ancients the main issue in Greek’s theory of being was not the question of the existence, but truthfulness meaning of the verb einai. This linguistic investigations are useful because, as he claims, the way how we are perceiving the reality depends on language we use. It also applies to ontological consideration.
Management of Adverse Events Associated with Cabozantinib Therapy in Renal Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Schmidinger Manuela , Danesi Romano
Published: November 2017

Cabozantinib was recently approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy. Cabozantinib is a multikinase inhibitor targeting VEGF receptor (VEGFR) 2, mesenchymal-epithelial transition receptor, and “anexelekto” receptor tyrosine kinase. A 60-mg daily dose led to improved overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) versus everolimus in advanced RCC patients as a second- or later-line treatment in the METEOR trial. Improved PFS with cabozantinib versus sunitinib has also been demonstrated in the first-line setting in CABOSUN. However, cabozantinib, like other VEGFR inhibitors, is associated with toxicity that may affect the patient's quality of life. The most frequent adverse events (AEs) are diarrhea, fatigue, hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, weight loss, nausea, and stomatitis. This article summarizes the safety profile of cabozantinib in RCC patients and offers guidance for the management of these AEs. We discuss the underlying mechanisms of these AEs and, based on our experiences with cabozantinib and other multikinase inhibitors, we present approaches to manage toxicity. Prophylactic and therapeutic solutions are available to help with the management of toxicity associated with cabozantinib, and adequate interventions can ensure optimum adherence and maximize patient outcomes.

Implications for Practice

Cabozantinib leads to improved survival outcomes in renal cell carcinoma patients compared with everolimus. However, management of the adverse event profile is crucial to achieve optimum adherence and outcomes with the use of cabozantinib. This review aims to provide appropriate guidance that will minimize the impact of adverse events and help to maximize the utility of this agent in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
Energy indicator in sustainable urban energy metabolism and challenges
Authors: Ziebell Arnfried Cardoso , Singh Vivek Kumar
Published: November 2017

Urban areas, especially cities having a significant amount of materials and energy consumption, contribute to environmental degradation. Urbanisation and the development of cities is key to building sustainable societies. Urban metabolism studies can provide a remarkable accumulation of data and observations regarding the material and energy flows of cities. Energy metabolism studies can act as a means to understand better and, subsequently, make smarter decisions for sustainable development in cities. A multidimensional approach for urban energy systems can help to analyse how urban areas function regarding energy use and the underlying physical infrastructures. The present study aims to propose an energy indicators-based approach to performing energy analysis using a metabolic network perspective, within the urban energy system. The strategies presented here would be of interest to municipalities, urban planners, urban managers, policy makers and researchers to help them work more effectively to solve the complex challenges of developing healthy and sustainable cities.

Botanical Sampling Gaps Across the Cameroon Mountains
Authors: Sainge Moses Nsanyi , Onana Jean-Michel , Nchu Felix , Kenfack David , Peterson A. Townsend
Published: November 2017

With the emergence of a new field, biodiversity informatics, an important task has been to evaluate completeness of biodiversity information that is existing and available for various countries and regions. This paper offers a first and very basic assessment of sampling gaps and inventory completeness across the Cameroon Mountains. Because digital accessible knowledge is severely limited for the region, we relied on qualitative evaluations of inventory completeness, supplemented by large amounts of data from the National Herbarium of Cameroon (YA) database. Detailed botanical inventories have been developed for Mt Cameroon, the Kupe-Mwanenguba Mountains, Mt Oku, and the Mambila Plateau, leaving substantial geographic and environmental coverage gaps corresponding to Rumpi Hills, Mt Nlonako, Kimbi Fungom National Park, Bali and Bafut Ngemba, Mt Bamboutos, Kagwene, and Tchabal Mbabo. This paper provides a roadmap for a comprehensive botanical survey for this region. Completing this survey plan, the resulting data will allow researchers to track changes in biodiversity and identify priority areas for conservation on the various mountain ranges that make up this important biodiversity hotspot.
Professional Commitment and Professional Marginalism in Teachers
Authors: Kalashnikov A.I. , Minyurova S.A.
Published: November 2017

The article reviews teachers' attitudes towards the teaching profession which can be expressed both in professional commitment and in professional marginalism. The dominance of professional marginalism could affect destructively the students as well as the teacher’s personality, hence the issues related to the content of personal position of a marginal and the rate of marginalism among teachers. It was suggested that marginalism could be revealed in the study of professional commitment. The study involved 81 teachers of Sverdlovsk secondary schools aged 21—60 years with work experience ranging from 1 month to 39 years. The Professional Commitment Questionnaire was used as the study technique. The results showed that negative emotional attitude towards the profession and reluctance to leave the profession were grouped as a separate factor. The dispersion factor was 12,5%. The factor loadings ranged from 0.42 to 0.84. The study proved that professional marginalism in teachers includes dissatisfaction with work, feelings of resentment against profession and an unwillingness to leave the profession.
Motivation of Professional Choice as a Component of Professional Subjectness in Teachers
Authors: Budnikova S.P.
Published: November 2017

The paper addresses the issue of factors that define the choice of university and future profession in prospective students of the Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University. The motives of professional choice are essential when it comes to analyzing the conditions of development of professional subjectness. Our study involved 62% of all first-year students and 85% of first-year students of pedagogical departments. We used our specially developed questionnaire “Motives of University Choice” and a set of others, such as V.G. Katashev’s “Technique for Measuring Learning Motivation in Students” and K. Zamfir’s “Work Motivation Technique” (modified by A.A. Rean). The outcomes show that most students make choices basing on their emotional attitude to the professional sphere which is generally positive. Also, it was revealed that important inner and outer positive motives prevail in most future teachers. The paper states that it is necessary to find the universal criteria which could help predict successful self-actualisation in profession in individuals during their study at university and thus help reveal the mechanisms for managing this process. Finally, we suggest some possible forms promoting professional self-orientation at university.
Negative Creativity in Education: Features, Threats and Research Perspectives
Authors: Meshkova N.V. , Enikolopov S.N.
Published: November 2017

The article discusses the phenomenon of negative creativity in the field of education which results in unintentional harm. Outcomes of psychological studies as well as innovations in education are analysed in two aspects: first, personal influence of creative teachers on students; second, creative resistance of participants of the educational process. The authors developed the Comprehensive Model of Relationship between Creativity and Deviation that helped to reveal the specifics of negative creativity in education which may be crucial for developing standards and regulations as well as for teacher training and selection. These specifics include the following: 1) unintentional negative and delayed impact of creative personality on students; 2) ill-conceived methods of implementing innovations in education which provoke negative creativity as a legitimate way to overcome norms and restrictions in participants of the educational process; 3) contradiction between the legitimacy of the goal and means that leads to discredit and failure of innovations in education. The paper formulates some hypotheses and outlines perspectives of further research of negative creativity in educational environment.

Authors: Gupta Ambrish , Maheshwari Prashant , Dokania K. K. , Tambe J. J.
Published: November 2017

Background: The aim of this research work was to study the drug utilization pattern in the indoor paediatric patients with specific objective to analyse the rationality status of prescriptions and other aspects.Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted for a period of 6 months. We analysed 120 prescriptions for the rationality status and different other parameters using Phadke’s criteria and W.H.O. prescribing indicators.Results: In our study out of total 120 prescriptions; 90 were rational followed by semi-rational and irrational. Average number of drugs prescribed was 5.39 drugs per prescription. Out of total FDCs prescribed 30% were irrational. Most commonly prescribed drug was anti-bacterial. Among anti-bacterial, most commonly prescribed anti-bacterial was from the cephalosporin group; which is categorized as “WATCH” category in W.H.O.-EML for children, March 2017.Conclusions: Though the results in present study reflect rational prescribing in pediatric patients in our hospital set up, there is still scope of improvement in prescription habits like avoid prescribing unnecessary drugs and irrational FDCs. There is also need of prescribing by generic names.

Published: November 2017

Background: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most common nutritional deficiency in pregnancy and major contributory factor to maternal morbidity and mortality. Objective of present study was to evaluate the response and effectof parenteral iron sucrose complex therapy in iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy.Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at GMERS Medical College, Dharpur-Patan over a period extending from September 2014 to August 2017. A total of 150 Antenatal women, between 26-32 weeks of pregnancy with hemoglobin between 5-9 gm% were selected for study by purposive sampling. They were given intravenous iron sucrose complex in a dose of 200 mg (2 ampules of 5 ml each) in 100 ml normal saline over a period of 15-20 minutes, on alternate day. Repeat CBC was done after a period of 6 weeks.Results: Age range of the patients was 20 to 34 years. Out of total 150 women, 72 women (48%) were in age group of 20-24 years. 64.6% women had 27-29 weeks of pregnancy. 58 (38.6%) women had <8 gm% of Hb before treatment and 108 (72%) women achieved Hb of 10 gm% after treatment. The mean haemoglobin raised from 7.9±0.92 gm% to 10.3±0.83 gm% (P<0.001) after six weeks of therapy. There was significant rise in MCV levels (from 67.7±5.1 fl to 78.9±6.4fl) (P<0.001). Major side effects or anaphylactic reactions were occurred in none of the women during study period. 93.3% of patients, treated for anemia were delivered at full term, either vaginally (67.3%) or by LSCS (26%). Most of the delivered babies (80%), had birth weight of more than 2.5 kgs.Conclusions: Parentral iron therapy was effective in increasing haemoglobin and other haematological parameters in pregnant women with moderate to severe anaemia.
A randomized controlled trial comparing low cost vacuum assisted dressings and conventional dressing methods in the management of diabetic foot ulcers
Authors: Dsouza Caren , Rouchelle . , Chirag . , Diaz Erel , Rao Shubha
Published: November 2017

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers are chronic wounds which are difficult to heal, due to ischemia and intrinsic defects in angiogenesis and impaired immunity against infection. VAC therapy influences positive mechanical forces on the growth of tissues, especially in stimulating cell migration and mitosis, optimizes blood flow, decreases local tissue edema from the wound bed and provides an occlusive environment for wound healing under moist, clean and sterile conditions. Aims and objective was to compare the effectiveness of low cost hospital made VAC dressing with conventional dressings in healing of diabetic foot ulcers.Methods: This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial and included 60 patients with diabetic foot ulcers admitted over 3 months. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: odd numbered patients to VAC therapy and the even numbered patients to conventional dressings. Wound swab was taken before the start of the study. The data was analyzed and presented in percentages or proportions using Chi-square test and Student-t-test wherever applicable. Results: In this study it was found that in the VAC dressing group 76.7% of the ulcers had red granulation tissue at the end of therapy compared to 46.7% in conventional group. The mean wound bed preparation time was found to be 15.60 days in the conventional dressing group and 8.50 days in the VAC therapy group. In the VAC group 72.73% ulcers had no bacteria at the end of therapy.Conclusion: In this study, it was found that Vacuum Assisted Closure therapy was more effective than conventional dressings in the wound bed preparation of diabetic foot ulcers.

Published: November 2017

Abstract: Children with Down syndrome have as main features global hypotonia, muscular weakness and articular hyperflexibility, which make acquisition and control of movements difficult. The changes presented by these children will interfere with functionality, compromising the ability to independently perform various activities and tasks of the daily routine, compared to children with typical development in the same age group. This study aimed to compare the functional performance of children with Down syndrome compared to children who have typical development with five and six years old. This is an analytical and cross-sectional study. It was evaluated the functional performance of 28 children with five and six years old, being 14 with Down Syndrome (case group) and 14 with typical motor development (control group). To evaluate the functional performance was used Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). The groups were matched in terms of age, gender and family income. Most children in the case group enter school over the age of three years, while the control children, aged less than or equal to three years (p=0,02). There was a significant difference (p

Diseases Transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) in Brazil in the Last Ten Years
Authors: Lourenço Amanda Fernandes , Rodrigues Flávia Melo
Published: November 2017

Abstract: Aedes aegypti is a species from Africa that is currently distributed throughout most of the world and has been the target of studies and research due to the dynamics of disease transmission that requires an intense relationship between the ecological and biological characteristics of the vector. The objective of this study was to characterize the scientific production with the species Aedes aegypti from 2006 to 2015. For this, a data survey was carried out in the database Scopus using the following key words: Aedes aegypti AND health AND Brazil. Various information from the chosen articles was considered, such as the type of publication, number of articles/year, journal, field of knowledge, impact factor, most studied disease, among others. A large fluctuation in the number of publications with A. aegypti was noticed over the years. Among the diseases transmitted by the vector, dengue was the most studied (92%). The journals with the greatest impact fator were not the most cited. It is noticeable that there is a multidisciplinary interest in the studies with Aedes aegypti and intensifying the depth of the research is necessary to reach greater successes in the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases caused by this vector and that kill thousands of people every year.

Anticipated sales of commodities are specific transactions, and there are various instruments for the transaction of such commodities, such as fixed term contracts, futures, options, swaps, Rural Product Certificate. Usually, studies in Accounting of biological assets focus on the measurement of equity and result without considering the anticipated sales operations. This article aims to propose an accounting flow to the measurement and disclosure of agricultural commodities in the context of these transactions, based on the fair value (IAS 41). We used the multiple cases study, applying the collection procedures with farmers in the Southern Cone of Rondônia, namely: interviews, documentary research and direct observation. As a result, we propose a flow of records and disclosure model for antecipated sales of production of a commodity, where the biological asset was measured at fair value. The model can be extended to other commodities.
Finding Patterns of Meaning: Margaret Newman's Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness
Authors: Younas Ahtisham , Parveen Sobia
Published: November 2017

This article presents an evaluation of Margaret Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness, through a literature review, to determine its usefulness for nursing practice and research. The evaluation illustrates that Newman's theory is valuable for guiding various aspects of nursing practice, education, and research. However, its use had been limited to spiritual, psychological, and social aspects of nursing care and needs to be further evaluated for its significance in acute care settings. Most of the studies that use Newman's theory are from the past, with limited studies conducted in recent years, indicating the need for further research.
Challenging Authority: The Impact of Practicing Nursing in the Legislature
Authors: Sheran Kathy
Published: November 2017

How does challenging authority look? This article describes two steps taken to prepare for and engage in challenges to existing laws. The first step is use of the nursing process to help structure deliberations about when to pursue, justify, and target a challenge to existing law to create desired outcomes. The second step is the important process of building the case for change and the broad base of support needed to push against resistance to change. The article details two examples of specific legislative successes the author accomplished using these two steps.
Transition from Education to Practice for New Nursing Graduates: A Literature Review
Authors: Shatto Bobbi , Lutz Lauren M.
Published: November 2017

New nurse turnover costs organizations in the United States an estimated $1.4 billion to $2.9 billion per year (Meyer, Shatto, Delicath, & von der Lancken, 2017; Ulrich et al., 2010). Retention of graduate nurses can decrease costs, combat nursing shortages, and improve patient outcomes. Despite the increase in prevalence of nurse residency programs, new nurses are leaving their first positions at alarming rates. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the factors that affect graduate nurse transition to practice. Findings indicate that a supportive environment free from bullying, a positive preceptor experience, and self-confidence were keys to retaining new graduate nurses.
Influencia de la modalidad de danza en la imagen corporal de las bailarinas adolescentes
Authors: Vaquero-Cristóbal Raquel , Kazarez Miguel , Esparza-Ros Francisco
Published: November 2017

Introducción: La modalidad de danza practicada podría modular la presencia de alteraciones de la imagen corporal, factor desencadenante de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA).Objetivo: Analizar la imagen corporal de bailarinas en formación en función de la modalidad de danza.Metodología: Doscientas noventa y ocho bailarinas adolescentes de clásico, contemporáneo y español participaron en el presente estudio. Las participantes autocumplimentaron el “test de siluetas para adolescentes” para determinar la imagen percibida e imagen ideal. Basándose en el índice de masa corporal (IMC) se calculó la imagen real. Posteriormente se calculó en índice de distorsión, de insatisfacción y la diferencia entre la imagen real e ideal.Resultados: Respecto al índice de distorsión, las bailarinas de clásico y contemporáneo se percibieron con un mayor IMC del que tenían, mientras que en español se encontró lo opuesto. Se hallaron diferencias significativas entre las bailarinas de clásico y las de las otras modalidades (p<0,017). Diez bailarinas presentaron un alto riesgo de sufrir TCA. En el índice de insatisfacción, todas las modalidades señalaron como ideal estar más delgadas de cómo se percibían, sin que hubiera diferencias significativas. Analizando el índice real/ideal, las bailarinas de contemporáneo y español consideraban ideales figuras con un menor IMC del que tenían. En clásico la tendencia fue la contraria, hallándose diferencias de este con las otras modalidades (p<0,017).Conclusiones: La mayor parte de las bailarinas tienen una imagen de sí mismas que no corresponde con la realidad. Esto podría actuar como factor desencadenante de TCA.

Introducción: la práctica de ejercicio físico resulta beneficiosa para la prevención de la osteoporosis. Los marcadores metabólicos del hueso se consideran los principales indicadores para conocer el estado de equilibrio o desequilibrio metabólico pudiendo mostrar de forma temprana riesgos en el tejido óseo.Objetivo: resumir y actualizar el conocimiento que existe sobre los marcadores de metabolismo óseo en población infantil y adolescente deportista.Método: se ha realizado una revisión sistemática, consultando las publicaciones hasta septiembre de 2016, en las bases de datos PubMed y Sport Discus. Se han incluido 19 artículos (caso-control, longitudinales, y ensayos controlados aleatorizados) que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión.Resultados: en las chicas se produce con la edad una disminución de los marcadores metabólicos, independientemente del deporte practicado. Se observa un menor remodelado óseo en atletas amenorreicas frente a grupo control. En el sexo femenino, los deportes de impacto presentan un mayor efecto en el remodelado óseo. En los chicos, los programas de entrenamiento de corta duración producen efectos positivos sobre los marcadores de formación del hueso.Conclusiones: la edad, el sexo, el nivel de rendimiento físico, el tipo de ejercicio físico, y el número de horas de práctica son las variables que parecen influir en el metabolismo óseo durante la adolescencia. Debido a los escasos estudios existentes orientados a analizar estos cambios, resulta difícil establecer unos criterios comunes de respuesta del metabolismo óseo a la práctica deportiva en estas edades.
A REVIEW OF THE THERAPEUTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF CAMEL URINE
Authors: Alkhamees Osama A. , Alsanad Saud M.
Published: November 2017

Background: The therapeutic use of camel urine has been known for centuries, with evidence of its use for medicinal purposes found in early folklore. It has been used to cure different diseases; however, the significant therapeutic benefits of urine have yet to undergo rigorous scientific evaluation. In this review, a summary of the scientific evidence that supports these therapeutic actions has been presented.

Materials and methods: A literature search of different electronic databases including PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Knowledge, and Google Scholar were conducted to identify published studies exploring the therapeutic effects of camel urine. ‘Camel’ and ‘Urine’, ‘Medicinal properties’, ‘Natural products’ were entered into the databases as key words. Reference lists of published reviews retrieved by the search were also searched to identify relevant papers.

Result: There have been several laboratory and limited clinical studies providing evidence of the therapeutic effects of camel urine in the treatment of cancer, viral hepatitis and other viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. Therapeutic uses in the cardiovascular system have also been discovered, with regard to platelet and fibrinolytic actions.

Conclusion: The exploration of the use of camel urine is of great interest to determine the efficacy of this practice, as well as the safety of the patients being treated. This review presented the benefits of camel urine, which were commonly drawn from small laboratory studies. Therefore, many more preclinical and clinical studies are needed to examine the efficacy and safety of the use of camel urine in in the treatment of disease.
AN INSIGHT INTO THE USE OF COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES AMONG PATIENTS WITH ATOPIC ECZEMA IN CENTRAL DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Thandar Yasmeen , Botha Julia , Sartorius Benn , Mosam Anisa
Published: November 2017

Background: Complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) are increasingly popular globally with frequent use

amongst patients with atopic eczema (AE). Despite increased AE prevalence in South Africa (SA), no local data on

CAM-use for this disease exists.

Methods: A cross-sectional study utilizing a comprehensive questionnaire qualifying and quantifying CAM use in

patients with AE. We interviewed 206 AE patients; 106 from a public hospital dermatology clinic and 100 from private

dermatology practices in central Durban. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) compared means of continuous

predictors across 3 or more groups. Differences in frequencies of categorical explanatory variables by CAM and AE

were assessed using Pearson chi-square (χ2) test or Fishers exact test.

Results: There were 143 children, 63 adults; 163 females and 43 males. Races represented were Black (56%), Indian

(33%), Coloured (6%) and White (4%). 135(66%) reported current or previous CAM use. Common reasons were

family/friends’ recommendations (42%) and media-influence (23%). Frequently used CAMs were vitamins (35%),

aromatherapy oils (27%), herbal creams (26%), traditional African medicines (23%) and homeopathy (19%). Nondisclosure

to the dermatologist was high (59%). Almost half (48%) said they were not questioned about CAM use.

More Indian patients used CAM (p=0.001) and Muslims were most frequent CAM users (p=0.044). Although not

statistically significant, the more educated and higher income bracket used CAM more. 28% felt CAM had fewer sideeffects,

28% felt it was safer than conventional medicine and 35% felt CAM was more natural.

Conclusion: The detailed trends of CAM use by South Africans for AE is an important addition to the current

literature. Dermatologists and healthcare professionals addressing patients with AE need to be more familiar with CAM

types that patients may explore as this could impact on the overall clinical outcome.

ABSTRAK

Sejak berpisahnya Kabupaten Ciamis dengan Kabupaten Pangandaran, membuat daerah Ciamis
kehilangan objek-objek destinasi wisata unggulan. Hal ini membuat Kabupaten Ciamis krisis destinasi
wisata yang banyak orang kenal. Untuk itu, pemerintah provinsi Jawa Barat yang bergerak di bidang
pariwisata, Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Provinsi Jawa Barat, melakukan destination branding
yang bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan tempat-tempat wisata yang dimiliki Kabupaten Ciamis saat ini.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menggambarkan kelima tahap destination branding yaitu
market investigation, analysis and strategic recommendations, brand identity development, brand
launch and introduction, brand implementation dan monitoring, evaluation and review yang dilakukan
oleh Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Provinsi Jawa Barat dalam memperkenalkan destinasi wisata
di Kabupaten Ciamis. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian deskriptif jenis data kualitatif
dengan paradigma positivisme. Tekhnik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara
mendalam, observasi studi pustaka dan studi dokumentasi.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam memperkenalkan destinasi wisata di Kabupaten
Ciamis, Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Provinsi Jawa Barat melakukan market investigation,
analysis and strategic recommendations dengan mengumpulkan data potensi pariwisata Ciamis
melalui tiga sumber yaitu bank data Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Provinsi Jawa Barat, bank data
Dinas Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif Kabupaten Ciamis serta internet. Adapun brand identity yang
digunakan selama aktivitas branding ialah logo West Java. Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Provinsi
Jawa Barat menggunakan tiga cara dalam brand launch and introduction, yaitu dengan special event
West Java Familiarization Tour Ciamis, artikel yang dibuat oleh jurnalis serta paket wisata. Pada
tahap implementasi, Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Provinsi Jawa Barat menjalin komunikasi
dengan Dinas Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif Kabupaten Ciamis dan terakhir Dinas Pariwisata dan

Effects of Three Parastagonospora nodorum Necrotrophic Effectors on Spring Wheat under Norwegian Field Conditions
Authors: Ruud Anja Karine , Dieseth Jon Arne , Lillemo Morten
Published: November 2017

The wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) disease Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) is caused by the necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum (Berk.) Quaedvlieg, Verkley & Crous and causes significant yield and quality losses in several wheat growing regions. The resistance mechanisms are quantitative and progress in resistance breeding has been slow. However, gene‐for‐gene interactions involving necrotrophic effectors (NEs) and sensitivity genes (Snn) are involved, providing hope for more effective breeding. Although the interactions are significant determinants of seedling SNB susceptibility, their role in adult plant leaf blotch resistance in the field is less understood. In this study, the frequency of SnTox genes was investigated in 62 P. nodorum isolates collected in Norway. A panel of Norwegian and international spring wheat lines and cultivars was screened under natural SNB infection in a mist‐irrigated field nursery across 7 yr. The lines were infiltrated in the greenhouse with the purified NEs SnToxA, SnTox1, and SnTox3, and the prevalence of corresponding sensitivity was investigated, as well as correlation between NE sensitivity and resistance level in the field. The frequencies of SnToxA, SnTox1, and SnTox3 in the isolates were 0.69, 0.53 and 0.76, respectively. Sensitivity to SnToxA, SnTox1, and SnTox3 was present in 45, 12, and 55% of the plant material. Sensitivity to SnToxA was associated with significantly higher disease severity in the field than insensitivity. This indicates that elimination of SnToxA sensitivity in the breeding material by effector infiltrations or marker‐assisted selection can be an effective way to increase field resistance to SNB.
Distribution and Factors Controlling Soil Organic Carbon in the Chicago Region, Illinois, USA

Published: November 2017

Core Ideas

The majority (>75%) of soil organic carbon was found at depths greater than 25 cm.

Compared to other soils, soil organic carbon in Chicago is relatively high (25–75 kg m‐2).

Anthropogenic factors were the most important predictors of Chicago soil organic carbon.

Information on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and dynamics in urban ecosystems will improve the accuracy of global and regional C budgets, sink and source projections of urban SOC with disturbance and climate change, and soil management for maximization of ecosystem services. Soil organic C (0–100 cm) was measured on 190 (0.04 ha) plots in the seven‐county Chicago metropolitan region (14,625 km2) to understand and model SOC distribution across an urban landscape. Most SOC (>75%) was at depths greater than 25 cm and these data suggest that 100 cm may not be deep enough to fully capture SOC in urban ecosystems. Compared to other terrestrial ecosystems (e.g., forests, prairies), SOC across the Chicago region is relatively high (25–75 kg m−2). Chicago region SOC was comparable to other urban ecosystems. Chicago region SOC was highest in the most urbanized areas (e.g., commercial, industrial, utility, transportation land use categories) and lowest in agriculture lands. A state‐factor model was used to predict SOC storage. Soil forming factors such as climate, parent material, relief, and tree cover were not important predictors of SOC density. Important predictors of SOC across the Chicago region were land‐use and other anthropogenic factors (e.g., impervious surface area; distance to the city center, nearest building, highway and street) as well as surface (0–25 cm) soil properties (e.g., SOC, pH, K, microbial biomass, electrical conductivity). These results suggest that urban soils store considerable amounts of SOC, and this storage should be considered in global and regionals C budgets.

Core Ideas

Limited data are available about mitigating N2O emissions from urine patches on semiarid pasture.

Nitrapyrin reduced cumulative N2O emissions by 39% in a dry season.

Nitrapyrin reduced cumulative N2O emissions by 58% in normal precipitation season.

NBPT and NBPT plus DCD did not limit N2O emissions compared with untreated urine patches.

N2O emission factors ranged from 0.03 to 0.21% over two grazing seasons

Urease and/or nitrification inhibitors applied to urine patches or pastures may increase N retention in the soil–plant system, but how N2O emissions respond to these N stabilizers in semiarid regions is poorly understood. The objectives of this research were (i) to quantify N2O emissions and the associated emission factors, based on the percentage of applied urine‐N emitted as N2O–N, from beef cattle urine patches (urine) and (ii) to test the N2O reduction potential of three N stabilizers [2‐chloro‐6(trichloromethyl) pyridine (nitrapyrin), N‐(n‐butyl)‐thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), and NBPT plus dicyandiamide (DCD)] on a semiarid tame pasture over two grazing seasons in western Canada. A deionized water control was also included. Nitrapyrin reduced cumulative N2O emissions by 39% and the N2O emission factor by 50% compared with untreated urine in a dry grazing season and reduced cumulative N2O emissions by 58% and the N2O emission factor by 68% compared with untreated urine in a grazing season with normal precipitation. The NBPT and NBPT + DCD had similar cumulative N2O emissions compared with untreated urine patches. The N2O emission factors ranged from 0.03 to 0.08% over 103 d in 2015 and from 0.06 to 0.21% over 119 d in 2016, all lower than the 2% Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change default 365‐d value. Extrapolating over 1‐yr periods, N2O emission factors ranged from 0.11 to 0.64%. Based on the N stabilizers tested, nitrapyrin most effectively reduced N2O emissions from beef cattle urine patches on a tame pasture in a nonirrigated semiarid region of Canada.
A Spatiotemporal Multiscale Analysis of Runoff and Erosion in a Mediterranean Marly Catchment

Published: November 2017

Core Ideas

Runoff and erosion were continuously monitored for 7 yr at four nested spatial scales.

A small number of runoff and erosive events were very important.

There was a seasonal time lag between runoff and erosive response due to shrink–swell processes.

Topsoil erosion processes and high hydro‐erosive connectivity were predominant.

A simple linear model explained mean annual erosion rates between spatial scales.

An intensive monitoring investigation was conducted within the Kamech catchment (Cape Bon, Tunisia) to document the effect of scale on the hydrological and erosive responses in a Mediterranean climate regime with cracking soils. An evaluation of the individual contribution of topsoil and gully processes to total sediment delivery at different spatial scales was also conducted. Continuous runoff and erosion measurements during a 7‐yr period at four nested gauging stations were examined in a plot (P1; 1.32 ha), a plot + gully (P2+G; 1.37 ha), a micro‐catchment (MC; 15.2 ha), and the entire catchment (C; 263 ha). Data analysis showed a high interannual variability and contribution of only a few events; three major events generated approximately 20% of the total runoff and at least 50% of the total erosion at all of the monitoring stations. The results also highlight the strong seasonal dynamics of both water and sediment delivery, with a time lag observed between runoff and sediment responses. The presence of open cracks in autumn was identified as a main factor explaining this time lag. A constant monthly and annual specific runoff response was observed among the stations, and a simple linear model combining a single rate of topsoil (17 t ha−1 yr−1) and gully (80 t ha−1 yr−1) erosion (weighted by their contribution area) successfully predicted the differences observed in the mean annual erosion rates among the stations. Finally, this work showed the predominance of topsoil erosion processes in a Mediterranean catchment that is characterized by cracking soils and very high hydro‐sedimentary connectivity.
