Authors: Bouzas-Mosquera Alberto , Rebollal Fernando , Broullon Javier , Peteiro Jesus , Vazquez-Rodriguez Jose M. , Sagastagoitia Marta , Rey Sandra
Published: August 2019

Objectives: A preserved contractile reserve is a marker of favorable outcome in different cardiac diseases. In some studies, using drugs, an increase in left ventricular (LV) systolic function was associated to better prognosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. We aimed to assess whether a positive contractile reserve (CR) to physical exercise is a marker of good outcome in patients with LV systolic dysfunction not related to coronary artery disease (CAD).
Design: From our exercise echocardiography database we extracted patients with LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF ≤45), negative coronary angiography, and absence of a history of CAD. A positive CR was considered when peak LVEF was higher that resting LVEF. The endpoint was overall mortality.
Results and Conclusions: Among the 225 patients included, 105 had a positive CR and 120 a negative CR. Resting LV function was similar in patients with positive and negative CR (LVEF 35±8 vs. 34±9; wall motion score index 1.81±0.34 vs. 1.80±0.29; both p=NS). During a follow up of 6.2+4.7 years (25-75th percentiles 2.2-9.5), there were 71 deaths. Ten-year mortality rates were 34% for patients with CR and 67% for patients without CR (p=0.003). After multivariate adjustment that included clinical variables, medications, resting LV function, and exercise testing variables the only predictors of death were age (hazard ratio (HR) 1.07, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.04-1.10, p<0.001), and absence of CR (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.09-2.98, p=0.02). In conclusion, in patients with non- ischemic LV dysfunction, a positive CR to physical exercise is a marker of better outcome.

Authors: Anwar Anwar , Derin Tatum
Published: August 2019

This article reviews the new evidence offered by Jorge Luis García, James J. Heckman and Anna L. Ziff's paper entitled "Early Childhood Education and Crime." The paper showcased the impact of crime reduction from high-quality intensive early childhood programs. Its distinct advantage from other similar research attempts is it's long-term follow-up. The data collected were evaluated by randomized controlled trials, and this present article is interested in reviewing the results using a descriptive qualitative method. It is found, proportionally, more women than men reduce their criminal activities after participating in this program. Gender influences the experiences, giving a difference because the home environment of disadvantaged families that are mainly benefited by this program is typically worse for girls. This program of educating children with the particular purpose of shaping their morality and understanding of good and bad gives a suitable scope for better improvement by the program. For both sexes, the effect of treatment is greater for disadvantaged children, as measured by the education given by their mothers.

Authors: Ibrahim Sarmad K. , Khamiss Nasser N.
Published: August 2019

The current environment of video systems is heterogeneous due to the variety of the devices used in the display such as HD and diversity of data transfer rate from one client to another, which leads to diversity in the resolution of the video for each client. The heterogeneous network systems increase the storage of video files, although that the H.265 reduces the rate of data about to half as compared to H.264, but it stores as the multiple video resolutions of one video on the system in heterogeneous system to satisfy different consumer characteristics and are delivered exploitation broadcast coding.

The paper solves such problems by proposing a new technology for encoding which depends on scalable core video technique in order to save a bit rate and improve the quality. The results present that the proposed technique is better than H.265, the rate of data transfer which has reduced (about 47%) in HD as compared to the H.265, while the PSNR has increased (about 3 dB) in the same type of resolution.

Authors: Farhan Aumama M. , Al-Gailani M.  F.
Published: August 2019

Iris recognition system is broadly being utilized as it has distinctive patterns that gives it a powerful strategy to distinguish between persons for identification purposes. However, this system in this implementation requires large memory capacity and high computation time. These factors make us in a challenge to find a way to run this algorithm in a hardware platform. The hardware implementation features reduce the execution time by exploiting the parallelism and pipeline. The present work addresses this issue when reducing execution time by implementing the matching step using hamming distance algorithm on the target device FPGA KINTEX 7 using Xilinx system generator. The obtained result demonstrates that the execution time has been accelerated to 1.32 ns, which is almost at least four times faster than existing works

Authors: Weichao Dong , Lei Du , Xin Wang , Zheng Li , Hexu Sun
Published: August 2019

To improve the utilization of wind energy, a new type of deflectable double-stators switched reluctance wind power generator is proposed to solve the unicity of the rotor rotation of existing switched reluctance generator (SRG). The generator adopts inner and outer double-stators structure. The multi-degree-of-freedom deflection of the rotating shaft can adapt to different wind directions and is suitable for the combination of electric fields with unstable energy amplitude, which can improve the working efficiency of the generator. The finite element analysis is used to calculate the rotation of the air gap magnetic flux inside the generator rotor, which lays a foundation for analyzing the vibration displacement of the stator structure. The magnetostriction of stator structure is the main cause of generator vibration. Based on the theory of mechanics, the basic equation of structural mechanics considering magnetostrictive effect is established. Magnetio-solid coupling simulation of internal and external stator and rotor rotation and deflection is carried out using FEA, and the stress distribution and corresponding vibration displacement are obtained. The simulation and analysis results provide a reference for further optimizing the structure of such generators and improving the stability of their operation.

Authors: Gökçe Kocabay Özlem , İsmail Osman
Published: August 2019

Several kinds of acrylamide-poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels were synthesized at room temperature (25°C) by adding N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylethylenediamine crosslinker to AAm aqueous solutions containing 0, 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80 and 1 mg of PEG6000. Water uptake and dye-sorption properties of the synthesized poly(acrylamide) and acrylamide-poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels were investigated as a function of chemical composition of the hydrogels. Cationic dye (methylene blue) has been used in sorption studies. It was determined that poly(ethylene glycol) used for pore forming in synthesizing the hydrogel has an influence on the adsorption of methylene blue as in the case of adsorption phonemia. Adsorption equilibrium was investigated by using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Two kinetic models, (i) pseudo-first-order and (ii) pseudo-second-order kinetic models were applied to test the experimental data. Freundlich isotherm model represented the experimental data very well. Methylene blue adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model which indicated chemical adsorption.

Exploring Food Decision Processes of Latino Families in California’s Central Valley
Authors: Sawyer Mirna Troncoso , Duran Nelida , Wallace Steven P.
Published: August 2019

Background and Purpose: Latino children are more likely to be overweight than non-Latino whites. Family food context research is relevant to the prevention of overweight. The purpose of the study was to identify patterns in Latino family food decisions related to the dinner routine. Methods: In 2013-2014, thirty-four in-depth interviews were conducted with twenty-two Latina mothers with children age 5-10 in California’s Central Valley. Previously published research informed the semi-structured interview guide. A grounded theory methodology was used to identify themes. Results: Four salient food decision approaches emerged. Families exhibited six combinations of these approaches. Mothers’ explicit health goals guide the health approach. The traditional approach emphasizes eating favorite recipes. In the developmental approach, parents modify the main meal for children based on the belief children will develop an adult’s taste over time. The path of least resistance favors expediency over other concerns. Conclusion: While the path of least resistance and health approaches have previously been observed among other populations, this paper provides findings on these categories among Latinos. Additionally, our findings on the developmental and traditional approaches expand the body of knowledge on food decisions. The guiding approaches provide a framework that can be sensitive to diverse food schemas.

INTRODUCTION: India being the second highly populated nation in the world. HIV/AIDS has acquired pandemic proportion in the world. Estimate by WHO for current infection rate in Asia. India has the third largest HIV epidemic in the world. HIV prevalence in the age group 15-49 yrs was an estimate of 0.2%. India has been classified as an intermediate in the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) endemic (HBsAg carriage 2-7%) zone with the second largest global pool of chronic HBV infections. Safety assessment of the blood supply, the quality of screening measures and the risk of transfusion transmitted infectious diseases (TTIs) in any country can be estimated by scrutinizing the files of blood donors. After the introduction of the blood banks and improved storage facilities, it became more extensively used. Blood is one of the major sources of TTIs like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, syphilis, and many other blood borne diseases. Disclosure of these threats brought a dramatic change in attitude of physicians and patients about blood transfusion. The objective of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of transfusion transmitted infections amidst voluntary blood donors at a rural tertiary healthcare teaching hospital in Chhattisgarh.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study was carried out in Chandulal Chandrakar Memorial Medical College, Kachandur, Durg. Blood donors were volunteers, or and commercial donors who donated the blood and paid by patients, their families, or friends to replace blood used or expected to be used for patients from the blood bank of the hospital. After proper donation of blood routine screening of blood was carried out according to standard protocol. Laboratory diagnosis of HIV 1 and HIV 2 was carried out by ELISA test. Hepatitis B surface antigen was screened by using ELISA. RESULTS: A total of 1915 consecutive blood donors’ sera were screened at Chandulal Chandrakar Memorial Medical College, blood bank during study period. Of these 1914 were male and 1 female. The mean age of patients was found to be 29.34 years with standard deviation (SD) of 11.65 Years. Among all blood donors in present study, 759(39.63%) were first time donors and 1156(60.37%) were repeated donors. 1 patient was HIV positive in first donation group while 3 (75%) were positive in repeat donation group. 7 (38.9%) were HBsAg positive in in first donation group while 11(61.1%) were positive in repeat donation group. Two patients in first donation group had dual infection of HIV and HBsAg.

CONCLUSION: Seropositivity was high in repeated donors as compared to first time donors. The incidence of HIV is observed to be 0.2% and that of HBsAg is 0.94%. Strict selection of blood donors should be done to avoid transfusion-transmissible infections during the window period.

Published: August 2019

Nesfatin-1 besin alımını baskılayan, oreksin A ise tetikleyen birbirine zıt etkili iki peptidtir. Bu peptidler hipotalamusta yerleşik olan nöron grupları tarafından sentezlenmekte ve salıverilmektedir. Çalışmamız kapsamında, besin alımının düzenlenmesinde rol oynayan bu iki önemli peptiderjik sistemin birbirleri üzerindeki olası etkileşimi immünohistokimyasal yöntemlerle araştırılmıştır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak, ilgili peptidlerin deneklere verilmesi sonucu diğer peptidi sentezleyen nöronlardaki aktivasyon değişiklikleri incelenmiştir. Bir transkripsiyon faktörü olan c-Fos proteininin yanı sıra, iki farklı hücre içi yolağın aktivasyon belirteci olan fosforile STAT5 (sinyal çevrimcileri ve transkripsiyon aktivatörleri) ve fosforile CREB (c-AMP-yanıtlı element bağlayıcı protein, p-CREB) immün reaktivitesinin varlığı, nöronal aktivasyonun belirlenmesinde kullanılmıştır. Çalışmalarda hipotalamusun supraoptik çekirdeklerinde lokalize nesfatin nöronları ile lateral hipotalamusta lokalize oreksin A nöronları incelenmiştir.Çalışmaların sonucunda nesfatin-1 nöronlarına ait aksonların, oreksin A nöronları üzerinde sinaps oluşturabileceğini düşündürecek şekilde sonlanmalar yaptığı görülmüştür. Ancak nesfatin-1 verilen deneklerin oreksin A nöronlarında c-Fos, pCREB veya pSTAT5 proteinlerinin ekspresyonunda bir değişiklik görülmemiştir. Benzer şekilde oreksin A verilen deneklere ait nesfatin-1 nöronlarında da bu belirteçleri içeren yolaklara ait bir aktivasyon gözlenmemiştir. Sonuç olarak, nesfatin-1 nöronlarının oreksin A nöronlarıyla sinaps oluşturabileceği, nesfatin-1 ve oreksin A peptidlerinin birbiri üzerinde, c-Fos, CREB ve STAT proteinlerinin rol aldığı hücre içi yolakları kullanarak aktive edici etkilerinin olmadığı, ancak her iki peptidi eksprese eden nöronlarda, bu yolakların kullanımıyla farklı moleküllerin besin alımının kontrolü doğrultusunda düzenleyici etki gösterebilecekleri düşünülmüştür.

Administrative management, which resides in projecting, structuring, carrying out and inspecting a specific task to achieve goals through the use of individuals and other resources is a key element within any company. Therefore, effective administration allows many goals to be achieved. In relation to labor disputes, these are born from different perspectives when discrepancies cannot be resolved. From there, it is important to recognize the types of problems that can generate a conflict to prevent and not affect the performance and welfare of its members. For this reason, companies have begun to use alternative conflict resolution processes, especially mediation, to process conflicts and prosper labor ties. From the above, the need was born to know how administrative management had an impact on labor disputes; as well as knowing how the administrative management influences the dimensions of differentiation of activities, shared resources and interdependent activities in a way that leads to an effective administration and optimal performance and well-being of the staff, leading to financial and resource gains within the Project under study. The research presented a non-experimental, quantitative, basic design and was multivariable causal. The population was 110 administrative workers. Surveys were used as techniques and had likert questionnaires as instruments. Coming to conclude that administrative management has a significant impact on labor disputes (less than 1,852 times than if management were not efficient and less than 1,135 times if it was not good); The aforementioned variable also affects the differentiation dimensions of activities, shared resources and independent activities.

Therefore management must think how to solve this problem, because if there is no counter measure profit, the company will face loss. There are at least three ways to counter measure this condition: first is by changing manual process for part assembling using automation system, second is to get the import parts from local supplier, and third is change import consumable tool to local supplier. This paper will explain about the process and impact of changing manual proses in gasket part assembling to full automatic gasket part assembling with new automatic machine. This machine using programmable logic controller (PLC), where all process which was done by man power will change to mechanical structure, so this process will change to automatic process. At the end, this process can reduce the need for man power and give effect to the reduction of direct labor cost also to be about 9,2 million rupiah in one shift production/month, however this nominal will fluctuate due to the number of total production quantity/month. Anothe effect with the use of automatic machine for quality process level is the increase of product quality level development because all item process check will be done by 100% sensor check, so the human error factor will be eliminated by using full automatic gasket assembling machine.
