Published: February 2020

The nickel (Ni) content in a post-mining soil of Pomalaa mines reached 14,200 mg.kg-1 and became a limiting factor in the plant growth process. A Ni reduction in the soil by using phyto-accumulator such as Jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis L.) can be improved by combining it with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the mycorrhizal fungus Acaulospora sp. on the efficiency of Ni reduction by C. ensiformis. This experiment was carried out by using a randomized block design with three different treatments, include: 1) C. ensiformis without Acaulospora sp. inoculation (negative control), 2) C. ensiformis inoculated with indigenous Acaulospora sp. and 3) C. ensiformis inoculated with non-indigenous Acaulospora sp. The study was conducted in the nursery that belongs to PT. Vale Indonesia Tbk., Sorowako, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The results showed that highest nickel accumulation was found in the root inoculated with indigenous Acaulospora sp. (9500 mg.kg-1), followed by stem (1400 mg.kg-1), leaf and pod (1300 mg.kg-1), seed (1200 mg.kg-1), and flower (1100 mg.kg-1). This study indicates that application of the indigenous Acaulospora sp. can improve C. ensiformis efficiency to reduce Ni content at Sorowako post-mining area.

Published: February 2020

Rapid molecular PCR-based detection method for Bacillus species used in the production of Beyonic® liquid organic fertilizer was carried out based on nucleotide sequence data from the 16S rRNA gene. The method involved sequencing the 16S rRNA gene of several Bacillus species and identifying around 16-22 specific nucleotide bases from 5' and 3' ends in the Bacillus 16S rRNA gene sequences. One specific primer pair for Bacillus detection was determined as follow: 5' - CAT AAG ACT GGG ATA ACT CCG GG - 3' (forward) from positions of 85-107 bp, and 5’ - CCA GGC GGA GTG CTT AAT GC - 3’ (reverse) from positions of 836-854 bp. PCR assay and gel electrophoresis analysis showed that the primer pair was specific to the genus Bacillus.
Anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial activities of 11 Calophyllum species from Indonesia
Authors: Abbas Jamilah
Published: February 2020

Members of Calophyllum (Calophyllaceae) are commonly used as herbal medicine in Indonesia from the beginning of civilization. Due to their tremendous potential as a source for pharmaceutical industry, we selected 11 Calophyllum species for the current anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial studies, namely, Calophyllum euryphyllum, C. bicolor, C. flavoramulum, C incrassaptum, C. lowei, C. macrophyllum, C. nodosum, C. soulattri, C. tetrapterum, C. teysmannii, and C. tomentosum. The methods include Calophyllum stem bark extraction and separation into n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and butanol fractions, followed by the antioxidant analysis using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging) and the anti-bacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results showed that n-hexane fraction of C. soulattri exhibited the best anti-oxidant activity (IC50 = 2.2 µg/m). This study also showed that a xanthone compound isolated from C. macrophyllum, namely, 1,8 - dihydroxy-6 methoxy xanthone exhibited the anti-oxidant activity with IC50 = 1.56 ppm.

Published: February 2020

Trichoderma harzianum is a filamentous fungus that has been known to have biocontrol and plant growth-promoting ability. However, the propagation of this fungus particularly through solid state fermentation (SSF) and characterization of its enzyme activity as one the indicator of quality of fermentation process are still needed to be explored further. Rice grain and its derivative products have economically as well as nutrient composition features beneficial as substrates of fungal propagation through SSF. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of white rice, rice bran, and combination of white rice and rice bran on the activity of amylase and cellulase by Trichoderma harzianum strains under SSF. Two strains of the fungus, InaCC F116 and InaCC F89, as well as their consortium were employed as fungal inoculants. After closed fermentation in dark chamber at 30 ± 1°C for 7 days, the activity of amylolytic as well as cellulolytic enzyme was assayed. The result showed that the presence of rice bran as a substrate increased the activity of crude amylase and crude cellulase. In all substrates, the strain F116 has low activity of both enzymes. The fungal consortium improves the activity of crude enzymes in all substrates. Therefore, the amylase and cellulase activity by T. harzianum in SSF condition were strain- as well as substrate-dependent.

Published: February 2020

Batik effluent had high toxicity to aquatic organisms. Dye decolorization is a process used to reduce color density. Fungi which used for decolorization was Aspergillus sp 3. This study aimed to investigate the ability of fungi on decolorization of 3 kinds of batik effluents (Indigosol Green dye, Indigosol Purple dye, and Naphtol Black dye) and to investigate the ability of fungi on reducing TDS level. The study was also investigated the initial toxicity of batik effluents to Goldfish (Cyprinus carpio). Decolorization was measured by spectrophotometry, the pH value was measured by pH meter, and the TDS value was measured by TDS meter. In addition, the decolorized batik effluent was tested for toxic effect on C. carpio by total opercular beats. Decolorization assay showed that Aspergillus sp. 3 had the ability to decolorized only 2 kinds of batik effluents. The decolorization percentage of Indigosol Purple was 60.015% and Naphtol Black was 56.679%. The pH after treatment decreased from 8.5–9 to 5.3–6. The range of pH value of Indigosol Green, Indigosol Purple, and Naphtol Black 5.3–6. Besides that, Aspergillus sp. 3 also had the ability to reduce the TDS level in the effluent. The TDS level on Indigosol Green, Indigosol Purple, and Naphtol Black as 4,965%, 25,307%, and 15,129%, respectively. Initial toxicity assay of effluent to C. carpio showed that there was a difference of total opercular beats, which exposed by decolorized and before decolorized batik effluent. The total opercular beats of C. carpio on decolorized batik effluents showed high value than before decolorized batik effluents. It can be concluded that Aspergillus sp. 3 had the ability to decolorize and decreasing the initial toxicity of Indigosol Purple batik effluents on C. carpio.

Published: February 2020

This study aimed to obtain a formula dried sago noodles enriched with mung beans and ear mushrooms to produce noodles with high protein and fiber content and favored by the panelist. The experimental design used in this study was a Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with two factorial (3×3). Factor A is the percentage of mung bean flour which consists of three levels: a1 = 12%, a2 = 15%, a3 = 18%. Factor B is the percentage of ear mushroom flour consisting of three levels: b1 = 1%, b2 = 2% and b3 = 3%, with 2 replications. The organoleptic testing was done by 30 untrained panelists. The results showed that the most preferred panelists are dried noodles sago enriched with 12% mung bean flour and 1% ear mushroom flour. The resulting product has an overall value of 14 consisting of an average value of color 3.73 (ordinary-like), aroma preference value 3.3 (ordinary-like), texture preference value 3.47 (ordinary-like), and taste preference value 3.50 (ordinary-like).
Neurophysiological Features of Peripheral Nervous System Involvement and Immunological Profile of Patients with Primary Sjögren Syndrome
Authors: Perzyńska-Mazan Joanna , Maślińska Maria , Gasik Robert
Published: February 2020

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, type of neuropathy, and the relationship between the presence of autoantibodies and neuropathy development in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS).

Methods

Sixty-one patients with pSS underwent a complete neurological and electrophysiological examination as well as immunological tests including rheumatoid factor (RF) and autoantibodies such as antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-Ro/SSa, and anti-La/SSB antibodies.

Results

The axonal loss or demyelination were found in 39 patients (63.9%). Twenty-nine (47.5%) subjects fulfilled both clinical and electrophysiological criteria of peripheral neuropathy of predominantly axonal type. Seropositivity to both anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies was more frequently found in patients with normal nerve conduction study. Seropositivity to anti-Ro alone was present in the majority of patients with axonal neuropathy (P < 0.05). The presence of RF was associated with several electrodiagnostic signs of demyelination (P < 0.01). The ANA titer showed no independent association with neuropathy.

Conclusion

Peripheral neuropathy is a frequent complication in patients with pSS. Seropositivity limited to anti-Ro is associated with increased risk of axonal neuropathy in comparison to seropositivity to both anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies. Seropositivity to RF may contribute to demyelination.

Published: February 2020

Objective

To develop and evaluate interventions to improve quality of care in 4 priority areas in an urban safety net adult rheumatology clinic serving a racially/ethnically and socioeconomically diverse patient population.

Methods

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Model for Improvement was used to redesign clinical processes to achieve prespecified benchmarks in the following areas from 2015 to 2017: 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) administration among immunocompromised patients; disease activity monitoring with the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis; latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening for new biologic users with RA; and reproductive health counseling among women receiving potentially teratogenic medications. We measured performance for each using standardized metrics, defined as the proportion of eligible patients receiving recommended care.

Results

There were 1205 patients seen in the clinic between 2015 and 2017. Regarding demographics, 71% were women, 88% identified as racial/ethnic minorities, and 45% were eligible for at least 1 of the quality measures. Shewart charts for the PCV13 and CDAI measures showed evidence of improved healthcare delivery over time. Benchmarks were achieved for the CDAI and LTBI measures with 93% and 91% performance, respectively. Performance for the PCV13 and reproductive health counseling measures was 78% and 46%, respectively, but did not meet prespecified improvement targets.

Conclusion

Through an interprofessional approach, we were able to achieve durable improvements in key rheumatology quality measures largely by enhancing workflow, engaging nonphysician providers, and managing practice variation.

Published: February 2020

Objectives.

We assessed the accuracy of case definition algorithms for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in health administrative data and used primary care electronic medical records (EMR) to describe disease and treatment characteristics of these patients.

Methods.

We randomly sampled 30,424 adult Ontario residents from the Electronic Medical Record Primary Care database and identified 2215 patients with any possible psoriatic disease–related terms in their EMR. The relevant patient records were chart abstracted to confirm diagnoses of psoriasis or PsA. This validation set was then linked to health administrative data to assess the performance of different algorithms for physician billing diagnosis codes, hospitalization diagnosis codes, and medications for psoriatic disease. We report the performance of selected case definition algorithms and describe the disease characteristics of the validation set.

Results.

Our reference standard identified 1028 patients with psoriasis and 77 patients with PsA, for an overall prevalence of 3.4% for psoriasis and 0.3% for PsA. Most patients with PsA (66%) had a rheumatology-confirmed diagnosis, while only 30% of the patients with psoriasis had dermatology-confirmed diagnosis. The use of systemic medications was much more common with PsA than with psoriasis. All algorithms had excellent specificity (97–100%). The sensitivity and positive predictive value were moderate and varied between different algorithms (34–72%).

Conclusion.

The accuracy of case definition algorithms for psoriasis and PsA varies widely. However, selected algorithms produced population prevalence estimates that were within the expected ranges, suggesting that they may be useful for future research purposes.
The Risk and Consequences of Vertebral Fracture in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Population-based Data Linkage Study
Authors: Ognjenovic Milica , Raymond Warren D. , Inderjeeth Charles A. , Keen Helen I. , Preen David B. , Nossent Johannes C.
Published: February 2020

Objective.

To compare the long-term prevalence, incidence, and outcomes of vertebral fracture (VF) between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and matched controls, including the role of extraarticular manifestations (EAM) and osteoporosis.

Methods.

This was a statewide observational study using linked health data for 2321 patients with AS and 22,976 controls presenting to hospital from 1980 to 2015. Data were analyzed using incidence rates (per 1000 person-yrs) and ratios (IRR), multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves.

Results.

Over a median 13.92 (interquartile range 7.58–21.67) years of follow-up, patients with AS had a greater VF prevalence and greater incidence of developing a new VF compared to controls (9.3% vs 2.5%, 6.8% vs 1.9%, respectively, all P < 0.001). Patients with AS had an increased risk of developing a VF after adjustments for age, sex, and osteoporosis (HR 2.55, 95% CI 2.11–3.09) compared to controls; this risk remained throughout the study period. Patients with AS were 5 years younger at time of first VF (P = 0.008) and had a greater likelihood of a recurrent VF (IRR 4.64; 95% CI 4.54–4.75) compared to respective controls. Mortality overall was comparable between patients with AS and controls after adjustment for age, sex, osteoporosis, and VF status (HR 0.90; 95% CI 0.80–1.01).

Conclusion.

The significantly increased risk of VF in patients with AS has not altered following the introduction of tumor necrosis factor inhibitor treatment. Although patients with AS experience a first VF at a younger age than controls, this does not lead to an increased risk of death.
What Do the OMERACT Shoulder Core Set Candidate Instruments Measure? An Analysis Using the Refined International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health Linking Rules

Published: February 2020

Objective.

The objective of this paper is to assess the content and measurement constructs of the candidate instruments for the domains of “pain” and “physical function/activity” in the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) shoulder core set. The results of this International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF)–based analysis may inform further decisions on which instruments should ultimately be included in the core set.

Methods.

The materials for the analysis were the 13 candidate measurement instruments within pain and physical function/activity in the shoulder core domain set, which either passed or received amber ratings (meaning there were some issues with the instrument) in the OMERACT filtering process. The content of the candidate instruments was extracted and linked to the ICF using the refined linking rules. The linking rules enhance the comparability of instruments by providing a comprehensive overview of the content of the instruments, the context in which the measurements take place, the perspectives adopted, and the types of response options.

Results.

The ICF content analysis showed a large variation in content and measurement constructs in the candidate instruments for the shoulder core outcome measurement set.

Conclusion.

Two of 6 pain instruments include constructs other than pain. Within the physical function/activity domain, 2 candidate instruments matched the domain, 3 included additional content, and 2 included meaningful concepts in the response options, suggesting that they should be omitted as candidate instruments. The analyses show that the content in most existing instruments of shoulder pain and functioning extends across core set domains.

Published: February 2020

Objective.

The purpose of this study is to examine the course of hand osteoarthritis (HOA) and its relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes (DM).

Methods.

Data were collected at 3 timepoints from 845 Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project participants (two-thirds women, one-third African Americans, mean age 60 yrs) with and without HOA, CVD, or DM. A diagnosis of radiographic HOA (rHOA) required a Kellgren-Lawrence severity grade of ≥ 2 in at least 3 joints in each hand. A 4-state progressive model included transitions based on rHOA and pain or function as defined using the Australian/Canadian HOA Index (AUSCAN). Markov multistate models estimated HR (aHR) and 95% CI for associations between DM or CVD and specific state transitions, adjusting for baseline and time-varying covariates.

Results.

Participants with DM (vs those without DM) were more likely to experience worsening pain with rHOA. Individuals who had or developed CVD (vs those who did not) were significantly less likely to experience symptomatic improvement, regardless of rHOA status. Those with DM or CVD (vs those without these comorbidities) were less likely to experience improvement in function, although this was statistically significant only for those with DM and no rHOA.

Conclusion.

Overall, having or developing DM and/or CVD reduced the likelihood of symptomatic and functional improvement over time, suggesting an effect of comorbid CVD and DM on the clinical and radiographic course of HOA. Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Évaluer les coûts des crises pour piloter la résilience : les apports de la comptabilité analytique dans le cas des services publics d’eau potable
Authors: Chéritat Angélique , Werey Caty
Published: February 2020

Reposant en bonne partie sur une démarche inductive, cet article fait émerger, à partir de l’évaluation des coûts de cas de crises réelles et en se basant sur des méthodes de comptabilité analytique, un nouveau modèle d’évaluation pour la prise en compte des coûts liés aux crises dans le processus de résilience des services publics d’eau potable. Ce modèle est ensuite utilisé pour l’évaluation des coûts de résilience de scénarios hypothétiques en cas de phénomènes exceptionnels. Cet article, qui est un plaidoyer pour la prise en compte des coûts liés aux crises dans le système de gestion de l’eau potable, questionne en même temps la place de la comptabilité analytique dans les services publics.
La place des outils de contrôle de gestion dans le pilotage des processus d’innovation
Authors: Bollinger Sophie
Published: February 2020

Dans la littérature, aucune règle claire n’est préconisée quant à l’utilisation d’outils de contrôle de gestion durant le processus d’innovation. Pour certains auteurs, le pilotage de ces processus avec des outils de contrôle de gestion est nécessaire alors que pour d’autres ils risquent d’entraver l’innovation. Dans ce travail, nous menons une étude en coupe en utilisant la grounded theory. Nous avons rencontré 16 personnes issues de 11 organisations différentes, afin de découvrir la place accordée aux outils de contrôle de gestion dans leur pilotage du processus d’innovation. Il en ressort que le pilotage des processus d’innovation peut s’apparenter à un iceberg où les outils de contrôle de gestion en sont la partie émergée.
Le portefeuille d’outils de gestion porteur de compromis dans les organisations à la croisée des mondes : le cas des Scènes nationales

Published: February 2020

Nous cherchons ici à répondre à la question suivante : quel est le rôle de l’ensemble du portefeuille d’outils de gestion dans les organisations en proie à la complexité institutionnelle ? Nous nous intéressons ici aux organisations créatives artistiques car elles sont confrontées à une pluralité de logiques pouvant déboucher sur des prescriptions incompatibles (Greenwood et al ., 2011), et nous cherchons à compléter le corpus de travaux se penchant sur le rôle des outils de gestion, des outils de contrôle notamment, dans ces organisations. A cette fin, nous nous appuyons d’un point de vue théorique sur les Economies de la grandeur de Boltanski et Thévenot (1991), en conduisant une recherche qualitative, fondée sur le cas d’une organisation exemplaire au regard de la problématique étudiée : une Scène nationale caractérisée par des logiques artistique, managériale et politique. Nous combinons la conduite d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès de parties prenantes de cette organisation avec l’étude de documents internes et externes. Nous montrons que le portefeuille d’outils de gestion permet la coexistence des logiques en servant de base à des compromis entre les mondes auxquels se rattachent ces logiques (mondes inspiré, industriel, civique) pris deux à deux, mais aussi, pour certains de ces outils, entre les trois mondes. Emergent ainsi des compromis artistico-managérial, artistico-politique, politico-managérial et artistico-politico-managérial.
Pourquoi les sociétés financières décident-elles d’adopter les Principes des Nations Unies pour l’Investissement Responsable ?
Authors: Peillex Jonathan , Comyns Breeda
Published: February 2020

Cette étude propose d’étudier l’influence de trois catégories de facteurs sur la décision des entreprises financières d’adopter les Principes pour l’Investissement Responsable (PRI). Ces facteurs sont liés : (i) aux ressources disponibles des entreprises (ii) à la recherche de légitimité et (iii) à la gouvernance. Des analyses à la fois univariées et multivariées sont appliquées à un échantillon composé de 198 entreprises financières de 2006 à 2015. Les résultats indiquent que les entreprises financières qui adhèrent aux PRI disposent de ressources disponibles moins conséquentes, sont davantage scrutées par le grand public, de plus grande taille et dotées d’un conseil d’administration caractérisé par une plus grande diversité de genre et par une plus forte indépendance que les entreprises non signataires.

Flight Evaluation of a Flexible Fabric Stabilizer for Sling Loads
Authors: Tardiff Mark , Nyren Daniel , Cicolani Luigi
Published: February 2020

Helicopter sling load is the most accurate form of aerial delivery in the military due to the ability to air-land materiel in an exact location; however, some missions have a tendency for the payloads to become unstable due to both pilot-in-the-loop and aerodynamic effects. Past research
demonstrated that allowing the container to rotate freely in yaw stabilizes pendulum motions. Other research utilized rigid fins affixed to the rear of the container. These methods work during tests; however, they become difficult to use in an operational environment. This paper discusses
tests using a flexible fabric stabilizer that can be temporarily added to any payload. The flight tests were conducted at Moffett Field, CA, using the same payload as the previously mentioned research. Tests showed that the flexible stabilizer provided an intermediate level of performance
eliminating sling wind up and stabilizing pendulum motions out to the aircrafts' power limit in exchange for very little operational overhead. The material in this paper concerns loads carried in a single point suspension.
Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion for the Apache AH-64 Helicopter Control
Authors: Pavel Marilena D. , Shanthakumaran Perumal , Chu Qiping , Stroosma Olaf , Wolfe Mike , Cazemier Harm
Published: February 2020

Incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (INDI)-based controller is a promising technique that can be adopted to control dynamic systems with high nonlinearities and extended cross-coupling effects. This paper presents the incremental strategy adopted as a sensor-based controller
approach for the Apache AH-64D Longbow helicopter. The strength of the INDI sensor– based approach is that it does not require a detailed vehicle model as it uses only a control effectiveness model and estimates of the vehicle angular accelerations replacing the rest of the model.
The weakness is its sensitivity to measurement and actuator delays, demanding additional estimations of model parameters and control effectiveness tuning. Using the Boeing FLYRT Apache model to simulate the vehicle dynamics, the paper has developed three adaptation schemes connecting the INDI
sensor–based approach to the Apache partial control authority set as ±20% authority in all axes. The goal was to redesign the existing Apache's flight control systems and demonstrate handling qualities improvements for hover and low-speed flight in normal and degraded visual environment.
Implementing the attitude command attitude hold and translational rate command response types in the system through the INDI controller, the paper demonstrates that improvements from Level 2 to Level 1 handling qualities can be achieved when flying the Aeronautical Design Standard-33 (ADS-33E-PRF)
hover and pirouette maneuvers in a degraded visual environment.
A Maneuvering Flight Noise Model for Helicopter Mission Planning
Authors: Greenwood Eric , Rau Robert
Published: February 2020

A new model for estimating the noise radiation during maneuvering flight is developed in this paper. The model applies the quasi-static acoustic mapping (Q-SAM) method to a database of acoustic spheres generated using the fundamental rotorcraft acoustics modeling from experiments (FRAME)
technique. A method is developed to generate a realistic flight trajectory from a limited set of waypoints and is used to calculate the quasi-static operating condition and corresponding acoustic sphere for the vehicle throughout the maneuver. By using a previously computed database of acoustic
spheres, the acoustic impact of proposed helicopter operations can be rapidly predicted for use in mission planning. The resulting FRAME-QS model is applied to near-horizon noise measurements collected for the Bell 430 helicopter undergoing transient pitch-up and roll maneuvers, with good
agreement between the measured data and the FRAME-QS model.

Qualifications Frameworks in the Transition to Knowledge Community
Authors: Yazicioglu Osman , Borat Oguz
Published: February 2020

In the transition to the knowledge community, the disciplines of knowledge management have necessitated the revision of education and employment issues. As a result, more than 140 countries around world have had to set their national priority to review their own education and employment policies considering the individual developments, community expectations and international practices associated with the “lifelong learning”. The overall goal of Turkish Qualifications Framework (TQF) is to provide an integrated structure which describes and classifies all qualifications available in Turkey, allowing for links such as transfer or progression among qualifications to be determined. Thus, transparency will be improved in education and training systems, which will enable national and international comparability, recognition and validation. TQF will ensure to link all qualifications achieved either at classroom of a school, university, training center, or in a laboratory, workshop and workplace of a research center or company through formal, non-formal or informal learning. TQF structure comprises of levels described by level descriptors and supported by qualification types. Qualification types are described through qualification type specifications.

Authors: Song Wenxiu
Published: February 2020

Legal reasoning, as the core of the judgment, has always been the focus of legal community. While in fact, the reasoning of judgment is not only related to knowledge of jurisprudence but also associates closely with the use of language strategies and thus deserves the attention of linguistic scholars. This study attempts to explore the language strategies underlying the legal reasoning of judgment based on engagement system of appraisal theory and adaptation theory. Through analyzing the legal reasoning of ten American judgments, it is found that substantial engagement resources are employed in the reasoning, among which Attribute occurs most frequently, followed by Deny, Entertain, Counter, Endorse, and Pronounce is the least favored resource in the legal reasoning of judgments, which is the result of the adaptation to the social role of the judges, the relationship between power and equality in court, as well as the expected psychology of the audience of the judgments.

Authors: Carias Lourdes , Atuan Maria Nohel
Published: February 2020

Introducción: El síndrome metabólico es un problema de salud pública. Este estudio evaluó el estado de salud basado en cuatro parámetros que predisponen al síndrome metabólico en estudiantes, docentes y colaboradores administrativos de la Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana (UNITEC) en Tegucigalpa. Métodos: Los participantes fueron evaluados en ferias de la salud, en las cuales se midió peso, talla, presión arterial, circunferencia abdominal, glucometría y cálculo del gasto energético en reposo o “Resting Energy Expenditure” con sus siglas en inglés REE, ajustado a la actividad física de los participantes. Resultados: La frecuencia de obesidad abdominal fue mayor en las mujeres (20.0%), cuando se comparó con los hombres (15.2%) (p=<0.05). En contraste, el porcentaje de hombres con una presión arterial elevada fue mayor que en las mujeres (33.0% vs 15.5%, p=<0.001). Al sumar las condiciones de riesgo del síndrome metabólico, los hombres presentaron una o más condiciones que las mujeres (38.4% vs 32.1%, p=<0.05) El 61.6% de encuestados tenía sedentarismo moderado. Conclusión: Debe implementarse programas integrales para promover estilos de vida saludables en esta población universitaria.

Authors: Canales Daniel , Cooper Frances
Published: February 2020

Introducción: La enfermedad periodontal (EP) causa pérdida dental prematura. Este estudio evaluó los conocimientos sobre la EP en estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud (FCS) de la Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana en Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal observacional aplicando una encuesta sobre conocimientos de EP en una muestra aleatoria de 177 estudiantes. Resultados: Los conocimientos de los estudiantes encuestados sobre EP fueron bajos o intermedios al iniciar su carrera, pero fueron mejorando al avanzar al segundo y tercer año. Los estudiantes de la Carrera de Fisioterapia mostraron menores porcentajes de conocimiento en comparación con los demás grupos. Interesantemente, los estudiantes de medicina mostraron mayor conocimiento sobre la EP que los estudiantes de odontología al tercer año de la carrera. Conclusión: En general, se observó un nivel básico de conocimiento sobre la EP inicialmente, mejorando con el tiempo, especialmente entre los estudiantes de medicina y odontología. Por aspectos de salud pública, es necesario que el currículum de todas las carreras de salud incluya aspectos de salud bucodental y especialmente periodontal.
El ladrillo de bloque de tierra comprimida: una alternativa para reducir la carga ambiental
Authors: Ramos Bessy Maria , Lopez Julio Cesar
Published: February 2020

El ladrillo de arcilla cocida ha sido utilizado con mucha frecuencia para la construcción. El proceso de fabricación consiste en la cocción de la arcilla en hornos artesanales que desprenden dióxido de carbono (CO2). El CO2 es un desecho primario que incrementa la carga ambiental de los gases efecto invernadero. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la resistencia de un material alternativo conocido como ladrillo o bloque de tierra comprimida (BTC). Métodos: El estudio fue descriptivo. Los ladrillos de arcilla y BTC fueron elaborados y comparados mediante la principal propiedad mecánica que es la resistencia a la compresión (f’C). Resultados: La resistencia de los ladrillos tradicionales fue menor a 1,000 psi, mientras que la resistencia de los ladrillos BTC con adiciones de cemento Portland y cascarilla de arroz alcanzaron un valor mayor a 1,500 psi. Conclusión: El ladrillo BTC mejorado con cemento cumple con el requisito estructural NW (intemperismo despreciable) y según su absorción, se puede clasificar como de intemperismo moderado (MW) que puede ser una alternativa de construcción amigable con el ambiente.

Perceptions of professors from a private university about their skills and needs to develop and promote research
Authors: Bonilla Guarnieri Giuliana María
Published: February 2020

Introduction: University education must be based on teaching, outreach and scientific research. Honduran universities have education policies, but there are limited research achievements. The study aim was to evaluate professor profile and the research needs at a private university in Honduras. Methods: Data collection was carried out through a digital survey sent to professors at the Centro Universitario Tecnológico (CEUTEC), part of the Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana (UNITEC) in San Pedro Sula (SPS). Study period was the third academic quarter of 2017. A total of 160 out of 233 professors were surveyed. Factors analyzed were professors´ background, resources and interest in conducting research. Results: More than half professors reported having a master's degree. Additionally, 83% (132/160) stated they had the willingness to conduct research and publish papers. Almost all professors (94%; 150/160) reported being interested in improving their research skills. Conclusion: Based on the study results, the CEUTEC-SPS professors showed interest in training and research but need support to develop it.
Estado epiléptico: Innovaciones ante este constante reto neurológico
Authors: Paredes-Aragón Elma , Martínez-Medina Salvador , Gomez-Figueroa Enrique , Martínez-Juárez Iris
Published: February 2020

Introducción: El estado epiléptico (EE) es una urgencia neurológica de gran impacto en la morbimortalidad de los pacientes neurológicos. Métodos: Se realizó revisión de literatura utilizando como palabras clave en PUBMED y EMBASE: ¨estado epiléptico¨, combinado con los términos ¨tratamiento¨, ¨etiología¨, ¨pronóstico¨, clasificación¨. Se enfatizó en publicaciones sobre avances en el tema. Desarrollo: Se ha evolucionado en conocimiento y conceptos relacionados al diagnóstico y mecanismos del EE, las guías de tratamiento indican tratamiento intensivo más prontamente. Se conoce más de las causas, pero los avances en tratamiento son modestos y el pronóstico sigue siendo complejo y con alta mortalidad. El tratamiento para EE es tiempo-dependiente por su fisiopatología, pero la insuficiente preparación del personal que atiende los casos y la limitación de acceso a fármacos empeora el pronóstico. Conclusión: Aunque la investigación debe continuar para entender más los mecanismos del EE y encontrar nuevos tratamientos, el diagnóstico adecuado, el pronto tratamiento y cuando sea posible la prevención, siguen siendo la clave para mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes con EE.

Music education and social development
Authors: Rodríguez Oswaldo
Published: February 2020

Art education practices could strategically target those political, social and cultural disparities that negatively affects children and youth. Targeted practices are becoming more concurrent, and such is the case with music education. Historically, music education has directed its efforts mainly to the development of the so-called vocation or talent to play an instrument or to sing. It has been mostly focused to disciplinary training. Consequently, institutionality has governed the music teaching-learning processes since medieval times, prolonging the classical idea of trívium (grammar, dialect, rhetoric) and quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music) with political mediation of the so-called conservatories or music schools.
