Lingual thyroid and thyroid hemiagenesis are rare thyroid developmental abnormalities. These conditions can be present with other thyroid diseases, whether functional ones involving abnormal thyroid hormone levels, or structural ones such as presence of thyroid nodules, however the association with thyroid cancer and lingual thyroid or thyroid hemiagenesis is rare. In addition to that, when thyroid hemiagenesis is present, it is usually in the left lobe. We describe here a pregnant patient who presented with metastatic cervical nodes from thyroid cancer who was found on imaging to have right thyroid hemiagenesis. After she underwent an initial surgery for thyroid cancer and metastatic nodal disease, she was then later discovered to have a lingual thyroid. In this case we report this extremely rare combination and also discuss the potential implications of this association on the diagnosis and management of these patients particularly initial surgery and imaging studies needed for the thyroid cancer.
Insulin—Five ‘M’s that Matter
Authors: Kalra Sanjay ,   Department of Endocrinology, Bharti Hospital, Karnal, India
Published: June 2017

This editorial describes a simple and useful checklist that facilitates timely and appropriate insulin initiation and usage in type 2 diabetes. The ‘five Ms’ (5Ms) mnemonic list facilitates timely insulin use by breaking the process down into five ‘M’s: match, motivate, method, monitor, and modify. The 5Ms approach conveys the need to match the patient to the appropriate insulin regime, preparation, and delivery device; to motivate the patient to accept insulin through a process of informed, shared decision making; to ensure the correct method of insulin delivery by teaching injection technique; to monitor therapy by both biomedical (glycemic control, metabolic benefit) and patient reported outcomes (quality of life); and to modify therapeutic strategy, as and when needed. This concept can be used as a teaching tool, a clinical aid, and a practice audit.
Subdural Hematoma Bağlı Gelişen Bipolar Bozukluk Olgu Sunumu

Published: June 2017

A court in Ankara asked for a report from our department of forensic medicine about an injury case due to a traffic accident. The report should include the disability rate and the duration of no functionality. The history and physical examination of the case revealed the diagnosis of bipolar disorder due to subdural hematoma in right parietotemporal region of head. Bipolar disorder is a relapsing disease with manic and depressive periods that exists in group of mood disorders. The etiology of Bipolar disorder is still unknown, though genetics, structural or biochemical abnormalities of the brain, endocrinal disorders, neurotransmitters, and trauma are among the probable causes of the disease.
A case of bipolar disorder subsequent to a subdural hematoma in right parietotemporal region due to traffic accident is rarely met. Head traumas can cause psychopathologic disorders. Our aim to present the current case was to suggest that psychopathological disorders can rarely occur, and that forensic medicine specialists should keep this probability in mind.

Injuries and intoxications are frequent cause of deaths in illicit drug users. Drug abuse is also associated with increase in infectious diseases and decreased level of immunity. Especially collective usage of syringes can be remarkably dangerous. It is difficult to diagnose the fungal infections in people whose immune systems are deficient and spreading of the pathogenic microorganisms through the bloodstream can lead to systemic infections which can cause rapid death.
In this article, a case of a 45-year-old man is being presented who died due to illicit drug intoxication. Apparent cardiac involvement with systemic fungal infection has been determined at the autopsy. The case has been evaluated with the literature. The skin and cardiac findings of the case are both rare and educational. Besides, this report aims to draw attention to systemic infectious diseases that can be found at autopsies of persons who had used illicit drugs and it is intended to review the measures for the protection of the autopsy personnel.

It is estimated that one sixth of worldwide male population have been circumcised due to religious, cultural or medical causes. It is reported that the complication rate of circumcision ranges are between 0.2% and 5%.
In this study, clinical picture which developed in two cases following circumcisions during the same mass circumcision activity which was applied in the same hospital, at the same time and by the same doctor, was evaluated. At the same time, medico-legal process was debated for these cases after comparison with literature knowledge.
In conclusion, we suggested that mass circumcision activities should be avoided as much as possible. Even if, in cases where mass circumcision is inevitable due to socio-economic circumstances like seen in our country, the procedures for illuminating families should not be ignored, circumcision activities should be applied by competent and adequate number of medical professionals, in conditions suitable for asepsis-antisepsis guidelines, in accordance with scientific principles and applicable legislation. Thus, complication rate will reduce and claims of medical malpractice will be prevented.
Epidemiology and Prognosis of Heart Failure
Authors: Spoletini Ilaria , Lainscak Mitja
Published: June 2017

 In this article the state of the art of prevalence, incidence and prognosis of heart failure is discussed. Prevalence and incidence are two measures of disease occurrence. Briefly, prevalence is the proportion of the population affected by the disease at a certain point in time. Incidence indicates the number of new cases within a given time period in a population at risk for the disease (for example, elderly people). A related, prognostic measure is mortality, i.e. the incidence of death from the disease occurring in a period of time. In the case of chronic, steady- state disease such as heart failure, disease duration is directly affected by mortality, and prevalence may correspond to the incidence of disease multiplied by the average duration of disease . Prevalence rates of heart failure may, therefore, vary across studies depending on the variability in incidence as well as in survival between population samples. Also, given that heart failure is a complex syndrome with different phenotypes (see article 1), each with specific clinical characteristics and associated risk factors, prevalence and incidence rates may vary according to the definition of the heart failure subtype. Finally, rates may vary on the basis of the method of collecting data and the criterion for defining left ventricular systolic dysfunction that is applied in the study.
Medical Treatment of Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction – Prognostic Indication
Authors: Rosano Giuseppe
Published: June 2017

An up-to-date review on guideline directed medical therapies that aim to improve prognosis in HFrEF patients.  Research on medical interventions that may improve prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure has had great success in the past decades. Therefore, there are well- established classes of drugs – ACEi, beta- blockers, MRAs – that should be used as first line treatment in all patients with heart failure. In the past few years newer therapeutic approaches have been shown to improve prognosis in patients with heart failure but, since the evidence generated by these newer classes of drugs is less than that of the first three classes of drugs these therapies should be implemented only after an initial treatment with the first line drugs has been implemented. This article reviews the advances that have achieved in the treatment of heart failure in terms of a prognostic benefit.
Medical Treatment of Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction – Aimed at Reducing Re-hospitalisations
Authors: Rosano Giuseppe
Published: June 2017

The reduction in re- hospitalisation for heart failure is an important therapeutic goal in patients with heart failure, because of the effect of hospitalisations on well-being and prognosis. LCZ696 and ivabradine have been shown not only to reduce events in patients with HFrEF but also to reduce heart failure hospitalisations occurring both as first events, and as recurrent hospitalisations with a similar degree of efficacy. Given the neutral effect of ivabradine on blood pressure, this drug should be always considered in patients in sinus rhythm. LCZ696 has some blood pressure lowering effect that may limit its implementation in some patients. Therefore, in order to fully benefit from the prognostic benefits of these two drugs patients who are still symptomatic after the administration of an ACEi a beta-blocker and a MRA should be switched to these therapies and controlling heart rate with the combination of beta- blockers and ivabradine. Treatments should be implemented with appropriate disease management programs and fluid retention should be monitored with devices like the CardioMEMS that have been proven to effectively reduce events.

Authors: Vancheri Sergio , Milino Viviana , Henein Michael , Tamburino Corrado
Published: June 2017

Background and Aim: About one third of patients undergoing coronary angiography for angina have non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Until recent years the prognosis has been thought to be favourable and no treatment were recommended. More recently, an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events has been documented in these patients compared with a general population. We aimed to evaluate the long term persistence of angina and the occurrence of major CV events in patients with stable angina and non-obstructive CAD.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all patients with effort angina referred to the cardiac catheterization  laboratory of the Cardiovascular Unit, University of Catania, Sicily, between 1st July 2008 and 31st December 2009, because of a clinical suspicion of myocardial ischemia, without obstructive CAD, defined as <50% stenosis of left main stem or <70% in any epicardial coronary artery.

Results: Among 2574 patients (2025 men and 549 women) referred for diagnostic coronary angiography, 151 (5.8%) had non-obstructive coronary angiograms. Six-years follow-up was available in 127 patients (63 men and 64 women). Persistence of angina was reported in 20.4%. Four patients (3.1%) had acute myocardial infarction and two (1.6%) had stroke.

Conclusion: During a six-years follow-up, persistence of angina and occurrence of acute major CV events were found in a significant proportion of patients with stable angina and non-obstructive coronary angiograms.

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo poner de manifiesto las prácticas de consumo en el interior de Castilla durante un periodo bélico y convulso como la guerra de Sucesión. Para llevarlo a cabo hemos trabajado la diversa documentación
municipal contenida en el Archivo Histórico Municipal de Cuenca, los protocolos notariales depositados en el Archivo Histórico Provincial de Cuenca y documentación
proveniente del Archivo Histórico Nacional. El trabajo con toda la documentación ha consistido en la descarga y comparación sistemática de las informaciones referentes a
prácticas de consumo, abastecimiento de la población, precios, carestías, etc., y por lo que respecta a la documentación notarial se han trabajado los testamentos e inventarios de bienes que podían aportar información sobre las prácticas de consumo de las élites. Hemos podido constatar que la falta de abastecimiento de algunos productos, sobre todo del trigo, supone un importante factor de inestabilidad y descontento social. De la misma
forma y de manera paralela, las élites locales llevaban a cabo prácticas de consumo que las diferenciaba tanto económica como simbólicamente del resto de la población

Abstract

¿Cómo vestían los sastres? ¿Cuál era la identidad indumentaria de los mercaderes de ropería de nuevo? Estas sencillas preguntas corresponden a aspectos
cotidianos de los miembros del sector textil, que aún se desconocen en la actualidad. Al ser el grupo profesional encargado de la elaboración de los vestidos y, por consiguiente, de la difusión de los nuevos patrones indumentarios, nos interesa conocer hasta quépunto los compartían o utilizaban. Con el fin de resolver estas cuestiones, nos apoyaremos en la imagen vestimentaria que les caracterizaba como grupo profesional y social. A través de las referencias del Archivo Histórico de Protocolo de Madrid, pretendemos averiguar qué moda y qué gusto indumentario les definían. Igualmente, trataremos de periodizar la evolución de su consumo textil a lo largo del Antiguo Régimen. De este modo, pretendemos indagar las apariencias de los que satisfacían la demanda de atuendos de moda en la Villa y Corte de Madrid.

Glia to glioma: A wrathful journey
Authors: Ghosh Krishnendu , Bhattacharjee Pritha , Ghosh Samarendranath , Ghosh Anirban
Published: June 2017

Glial cells, unlike neurons in the brain, can undergo cellular division to maintain their functional continuity. However, sometimes this divisional attribute gets uncontrolled, which breaches tissue organization and transforms tissues into neoplasm. The proliferative abnormality of neuroglia results in one of the most dreaded neoplasm amounting to 30% of all brain tumors—the glioma. The abnormal proliferation, high level of progression and invasive potential makes glioma one of the most lethal killers in its class. The pathological scenario becomes more moribund owing to poor prognosis and high mortality rate of the menace. Conventional onco-therapies yield dismal results compared to other soft tissue tumors. In time, with the advent of newer trends of prognosis and treatment modalities in the field of oncology, a hope for betterment is expected, but not yet achieved. These advancements would fetch some better results with proper and minute understanding of the biology of glioma, both at physiological as well as molecular level. In the present context, we have tried to document an insight to glioma biology that can serve as a primer to understand this lethal killer and its killing spree, with some approaches to combat its carnage.

Выявление факторов, влияющих на эффективность перехода к высокотехнологичному промышленному производству
Authors: Береговая Ирина Борисовна
Published: June 2017

Актуальность исследования определяется необходимостью организации эффективного перехода к высокотехнологичному промышленному производству. Для этого предлагается выявить факторы, воздействуя которыми или влияя на которые можно целенаправленно достичь желаемого результата, но и установить степень их влияния. На наш взгляд, это позволит не распылять усилия предприятия, а ориентироваться на конкретные «проблемные» точки.
В статье приведены результаты исследований, позволившие выявить тесноту связи между показателями, характеризующими интеллектуальный и экономических потенциал социально-экономических систем. Выявлено, что наиболее существенное влияние на инновационную активность организаций оказывает интеллектуальный капитал. При этом воздействие экономических факторов несколько ниже. Полученные результаты позволяют выдвинуть гипотезу о том, что для более результативного достижения компромисса целей между высокотехнологичным производством и его эффективностью необходима разработка интеграционного механизма использования ресурсов инвестиционного, интеллектуального, исследовательского типов.

Employing secondary sources of data this paper aims to assess the history, elements, and criticisms against New International Economic Order (NIEO). NIEO is mainly an economic movement happened after WWII with the aim of empowering developing countries politically through economic growth. It also criticizes the existing political and economic system as benefiting developed countries at the cost of developing countries so that a new system is needed that benefits poor countries. However, many criticize NIEO as hypothetical and unorganized movement. Clear division and disagreements among its members is evident. Developing countries failed to form unity, committed to meet the objectives of NIEO, and unable to compete in the market.

As a country that once colonized by the British, Malaya indeed vulnerable to the influence of British ideology. This occurs through a mechanism of colonial knowledge developed by British to learn and dominate the Malay community. As a result of colonial influence can be traced in all aspects of Malay community life. The findings of this research show that the colonial has their own policies and approach  when it comes to the issue of Islam in the Malay community. They try to kill the potential of Islam and replace it with the world-view and British paradigm then embed it into the community. The results of the Maqasid analysis on the legacy of colonial knowledge still prove too much effort to consolidate Islam should be done by Islamic scholars. Islamic scholars have to reject and correct negative outlook placed on Islam.

Published: June 2017

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a professional designation affects consumer choice behavior within the area of investment decision making. Forty-six participants were endowed with real money and received hypothetical investment advice from a certified financial planner (CFP) Professional and a stockbroker. Among low-income households, advice from a CFP altered investor choice behavior within hypothetical education and retirement savings accounts. When participants made investment decisions using education funds and received advice from a CFP, the mean expected value of their investment choices was $43,913, compared to $25,870 given advice from a stockbroker. When investment decisions were made using retirement funds, the average expected value given advice from a CFP and a stockbroker was $53,424 and $33,207, respectively. If an investor was risk-neutral or risk-seeking, investment choices were improved when advice was rendered by a CFP relative to a stockbroker.

Published: June 2017

The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of gibberellic acid (GA3) in the seed germination of Asclepias subulata Decne., plant of the wild flora of the Sonoran Desert of interest for reforestation, industry and medicinal use. Since there is no information about their domestication, it is of fundamental importance to carry out germination tests to ensure their propagation, given the low germination percentage that this species presents. Seeds of A. subulata were collected in the Sonoran Desert, within the area known as Cerro del Bachoco. Six concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3) (0, 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm) were tested at two soak times (24 and 48 hours) and one control without any treatment. Germination power, germination time at 25, 50 and 75%, and the germination rate index were evaluated. Germination was considered when the seed emits the hypocotyl outside the substrate used. Chemical scarification with GA3 has a positive influence on seed germination of A. subulata. The highest percentage of germination was obtained with GA3 in concentrations of 250 to 2000 ppm, at 24 and 48 hours of soaking. Germination time was affected by the concentration of GA3, being favored at a concentration of 1000 and 2000 ppm at 24 and 48 hours of soaking; while in other treatments 75% of germination was not reached. Chemical scarification with GA3 favored the germination rate index.

This study was conducted as part of a series of experiments on the use of dried leaves for the production of complete rabbit feed. For this purpose, 120 female rabbits, distributed in 4 batches (N0, N5, N10 and N15) with the same number (30) and homogeneous average weights (2595 g to 2708.7 g) were followed before and during pregnancy. Each of the 4 lot were composed, in the same proportion, of nulliparous and multiparous females. Those animals were subjected to four Azadirachta indica leaves based foods in different proportions: N0: 0%; N5: 5%; N10: 10% and N15: 15%. Our data shows that the gestation rates were as follows for the four lots: N0 (90%), N5 (80%) and N10 (90%) and N15 (76.67%). Except a single female from lot N10, all females were pregnant and gave birth. No significant difference (P> 0.05) was found between the mean of total daily consumptions among the pregnant rabbits of the four batches that ranged from 169.40 to 198.31 g / d. The average litters of the batches N0 (5.33 rabbits / mother), N5 (6.5 rabbits / mother) and N10 (5.61 rabbits / mother) were similar (P> 0.05) but higher (P 0.05). On the other hand, no difference (P> 0.05) was observed between the average weights of the rabbits of the control batch N0 (59.06 g) and those of N5 and N15.

Las dermatitis bacterianas o piodermas en caninos son ocasionadas por microorganismos patógenos, de los cuales el Staphylococcus intermedius es el más frecuente. Los tratamientos empíricos de este grupo de enfermedades permiten la proliferación de cepas resistentes de importancia en salud pública como es el caso del S. aureus. De igual forma, el riesgo de zoonosis reversa a partir de mascotas portadoras de cepas resistentes crea un serio problema de salud pública que requiere vigilancia epidemiológica. El objetivo de la investigación fue aislar e identificar bioquímicamente los microorganismos presentes en infecciones de piel en caninos; para esto se obtuvieron las muestras de caninos con problemas dermatológicos, y se identificaron los microorganismos bacterianos involucrados utilizando el kit de identificación rápida BBL Crystal para grampositivos. Los resultados obtenidos demostraron que el 80% de los aislamientos correspondieron a S. intermedius. Sin embargo, es necesario realizar estudios moleculares para relacionar la severidad de las lesiones dermatológicas con la identificación de los estafilococos presentes en el pioderma, y así establecer medidas de control, tratamiento y profilaxis.

Se efectuó un estudio de corte sobre la prevalencia de mastitis bovina en una muestra representativa de las granjas lecheras del altiplano norte de Antioquia, Colombia. Se evaluaron los resultados del California Mastitis Test (CMT), Recuento de Células Somáticas (RCS) y cultivo bacteriológico de leche, y se analizaron los factores de riesgo asociados a mastitis bovina. El análisis estadístico de la información se efectuó por medio de estadística descriptiva, análisis de razón de prevalencias y regresión logística multinivel. Con la prueba de CMT se detectó un 20% de cuartos afectados con mastitis, la prevalencia de mastitis subclínica por vaca fue del 39,5% y la de mastitis clínica fue del 1,7%. Se efectuaron 648 cultivos de muestras de leche, de las cuales 23,9% fueron negativas, 34% positivas a Streptococcus agalactiae y 10,2% a Estafilococo coagulasa negativo. El análisis de regresión reveló que las vacas que tuvieron más de seis meses de lactancia presentaron una Odds Ratio (OR) de 2,65 en comparación con las de un mes de lactancia (p < 0,05). Se halló un OR de 1,24 para la asociación de la edad y la mastitis (p < 0,05). Para el lavado de manos se encontró un OR de 0,36 en comparación con no hacerlo (p < 0,05). En conclusión, se halló una alta frecuencia de mastitis por vaca. El microorganismo más hallado fue el Streptococcus agalactiae. El trauma podría ser una causa importante de mastitis dado que no se observó crecimiento bacteriano en 23,9% de los cultivos de muestras de leche de cuartos con mastitis.
“Ser joven” en distintos contextos ch’oles del norte de Chiapas
Authors: Gutiérrez Sánchez Javier
Published: June 2017

El texto tiene como objetivo problematizar las construcciones de “lo joven” a partir de las formas lingüísticas de la lengua indígena cho’l, las cuales se les interpreta en el contexto de sus significados relacionados con el trabajo, la potencia, el estatus, jerarquía social y como reconocimiento comunitario que les lleva, en cuanto individuos, a pasar de una categoría de ser niños a personas casadas. En el marco de la argumentación etnográfica se transita por la vida cotidiana, la educación, la cosmovisión para argumentar cómo la reproducción de “lo joven” varía en diversos contextos en el norte del estado de Chiapas, México; como son la ciudad de Palenque, algunos ejidos de la Selva Lacandona, la cabecera municipal de Tila o en ejidos rurales, como el caso de Nueva Esperanza, en donde la reproducción de lo campesino e indígena es fundamental.

Published: June 2017

Se presentan los resultados de la investigación realizada en la cabecera municipal de Oxchuc, Chiapas, sobre insectos de importancia cultural. Para cumplir el objetivo se utilizó la metodología etnográfica que incluye la observación participante, registro en diario de campo y entrevistas semi estructuradas a un total de 29 personas. Se describe la etnoclasificación de los pobladores, los cuales utilizan la categoría ch’in chanetik que engloba artrópodos y anélidos. Se registraron 42 especies de insectos de importancia cultural, agrupados en las categorías: antropoentomofagia, entomoterapia, entomolatría, usos lúdicos, de importancia médica y de linaje familiar. Se concluye que una misma especie de ch’in chanetik puede pertenecer a más de una categoría de importancia cultural, lo cual es influenciado por los usos de carácter material y simbólico que le dan los pobladores de la zona.
‘Brujos’, mitos y modernidad en la historia oral k’iche’
Authors: Romero Florián Sergio Francisco
Published: June 2017

En este trabajo se examina la relación entre tradición oral y las representaciones de la historia y de la coyuntura social entre los k’iche’s del altiplano de Guatemala. Se muestra que la tradición oral consta de una gran diversidad de géneros con estructuras discursivas y fuerza ilocutiva propias. Se discuten las aparentes inconsistencias entre narrativas y se demuestra que son expresión de disensos, debates y ansiedades en el seno de las comunidades frente a los cambios impuestos por la modernidad guatemalteca. En particular, se analizan historias de santos y de ‘brujos’ y las diferentes y contradictorias posturas que dramatizan frente a la expansión de la Acción Católica y de las iglesias pentecostales en los años cincuenta y sesenta del siglo pasado. Se muestra que la tradición oral es también modelo prescriptivo de la naciente prosa en idioma k’iche’.
O efeito do fim do Acordo sobre Têxteis e Vestuários para a indústria brasileira: uma análise a partir da fronteira de produção estocástica
Authors: Prince Diogo de , Salgueiro Ariene da Silva , Gomes Rogério
Published: June 2017

Este artigo investiga a produtividade e a função de produção de 13 grandes empresas têxteis e de vestuário brasileiras antes e depois do fim do Acordo sobre Têxteis e Vestuário (AVT), que extinguiu as cotas de importação em 2005. Com esse propósito, estima-se a fronteira de produção estocástica entre 1997 e 2008 em painel e, simultaneamente, uma equação explicativa para a (in)eficiência das firmas, como proposto por Battese e Coelli (1995). Os resultados indicaram que as empresas mais eficientes são as mais antigas. A produtividade total dos fatores das firmas apresentou tendência de queda, inclusive após o fim das cotas, aumentando a produtividade apenas a partir de 2007. De forma geral, no período as empresas de Santa Catarina foram mais eficientes do que as de outros Estados.
Geografia dos domínios de internet no Brasil
Authors: Motta Marcelo Paiva da
Published: June 2017

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a distribuição espacial da Internet na escala nacional, na dimensão da oferta de conteúdo. Para tanto, foi utilizado o registro de domínios como proxy da localização onde as informações são produzidas. Partiu-se da hipótese de que a espacialidade dos domínios, a despeito de sua imaterialidade, não prescinde de uma ancoragem espacial precisa, relacionando-se com processos materiais da sociedade. Isto é verificado pela comparação dos padrões espaciais dos domínios com a demografia e a distribuição das atividades econômicas em geral no território. Conclui-se que a geografia dos domínios é extremamente concentrada, contrariando o viés antigeográfico suscitado pela disseminação da Internet. Os resultados são consistentes com a abordagem institucionalista, pela qual as empresas que operam online tendem a se aglomerar nas metrópoles, integrando-se com o ambiente econômico prévio.

O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever a estrutura formada pelas interações entre as entidades de pesquisadores engajadas na criação de tecnologias aplicáveis ao milho em comparação com àqueles arranjos voltados para o café e a soja, três das culturas mais relevantes para o Brasil. Para tanto, foram privilegiadas a Análise de Redes Sociais e a bibliometria, aplicando-as a trabalhos publicados em periódicos científicos indexados na base de dados SciELO. Foram encontradas indicações que apontam para a existência de cooperação inter-organizacional, sendo que: cada rede possui um grande componente, cujas ligações passam pelos elementos do subconjunto central composto por dez entidades, que respondem pela maior parcela da pesquisa; cinco entidades são comuns aos subconjuntos centrais; as ligações entre esses elementos centrais têm características distintas em cada rede; o diâmetro dos componentes centrais é pequeno, bem como a distância média entre os vértices; e as principais entidades dos arranjos são públicas.
