A Method to Solve the Reaction-Diffusion-Chemotaxis System
Authors: Hwang Yao-Hsin , Yu Jui-Ling , Hu Chin-Kun
Published: July 2019

The objective of this article is to use a recent developed scheme to simulate reaction-diffusion-chemotaxis equations. The solution gradient required for an accurate discretization is computed directly as an additional variable rather than interpolated from solution values around neighboring computational nodes. To achieve this goal, a supplementary equation and its associated control volume are introduced to retain a compact and accurate discretization. Scheme essentials are exposed by the numerical analysis on two-dimensional chemotaxis problems to reveal its formal accuracy. Due to its highly comprehensible and practical features, this formulation can be easily extended to solve problems for other two-dimensional rectangular grid systems. One- and two-dimensional problems are solved to verify its simulation accuracy and to study the possible formation of bacteria bands. We further perform the linearization technique to the reaction term to increase the stability of the current scheme. From the numerical analysis and computational results, it is found that the present formulation is a useful tool to solve reaction-diffusion-chemotaxis equations.

Published: July 2019

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare inherited disorder most often caused by mutations in the arginine-vasopressin receptors or aquaporin channels, which subsequently impairs the water reabsorption in the kidney. This case report describes a 15-year-old female diagnosed with NDI after an acute gastroenteritis and multiple fluid boluses leading to intractable emesis. Gene testing reveals our patient is compound heterozygous for novel AQP2 gene mutations with a cytosine-to-thymine substitution at nucleotide position 277 and adenine-to-cytosine substitution at nucleotide position 659. Therefore, we report a novel AQP2 gene mutation in an adolescent patient which is outside the common age for diagnosis.

Background

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an estrogenic, endocrine-disrupting compound widely used in the industry. It is also a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. Its presence was confirmed in human fetuses, which results from maternal exposure during pregnancy. The mechanisms behind maternal-fetal transfer, and relationships between pregnant women and fetal exposures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of maternal exposure to BPA on the exposure of the fetus.

Methods

Maternal plasma and amniotic fluid samples were collected from 52 pregnant women undergoing amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities. BPA was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The permeability factor – a ratio of fetal-to-maternal BPA concentration – was used as a measure delineating the transplacental transfer of BPA.

Results

The median concentration of maternal plasma BPA was 8 times higher than the total BPA concentration in the amniotic fluid (8.69 ng/mL, range: 4.3 ng/mL–55.3 ng/mL vs. median 1.03 ng/mL, range: 0.3 ng/mL–10.1 ng/mL). There was no direct relationship between the levels of BPA in maternal plasma and amniotic fluid levels. The permeability factor, in turn, negatively correlated with fetal development (birth weight) (R = −0.54, P < 0.001).

Conclusion

Our results suggest that the risk of fetal BPA exposure depends on placental BPA permeability rather than the levels of maternal BPA plasma concentration and support general recommendations to become aware and avoid BPA-containing products.
Inference of finite mixture models and the effect of binning
Authors: Geissen Eva-Maria , Hasenauer Jan , Radde Nicole E.
Published: July 2019

Finite mixture models are widely used in the life sciences for data analysis. Yet, the calibration of these models to data is still challenging as the optimization problems are often ill-posed. This holds for censored and uncensored data, and is caused by symmetries and other types of non-identifiabilities. Here, we discuss the problem of parameter estimation and model selection for finite mixture models from a theoretical perspective. We provide a review of the existing literature and illustrate the ill-posedness of the calibration problem for mixtures of uniform distributions and mixtures of normal distributions. Furthermore, we assess the effect of interval censoring on this estimation problem. Interestingly, we find that a proper treatment of censoring can facilitate the estimation of the number of mixture components compared to inference from uncensored data, which is an at first glance surprising result. The aim of the manuscript is to raise awareness of challenges in the calibration of finite mixture models and to provide an overview about available techniques.

Authors: Miles Charles , Gomez Francisco , Rosenblad Brent L. , Fulks Jacob , Loehr J. E.
Published: July 2019

New ground-based remote sensing techniques developed over the past decade present solutions to many challenges associated with traditional in situ monitoring of mass movement hazards. In particular, ground-based interferometric radar (GBIR) and terrestrial laser scanners (TLSs) are ideal candidates for application to rockfall hazard monitoring, owing to high precision in displacement sensitivity and spatial resolution, respectively. Through controlled experiments with a synthetic rock specimen and measurements of induced rock movements in the field, this study aims to quantify lower bounds of repeatable displacement detection for single rock targets using GBIR and to compare the results to total station and TLS measurements. One investigation used a synthetic rock that was moved with precisely controlled displacements to determine the lower bound threshold and accuracy of the GBIR for detecting translational movements of a realistic rock-like scatterer. This study found that the GBIR system was capable of reliably measuring displacements as low as about 0.2 mm with accuracy in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 mm. A controlled study was also performed at a field site where boulders were displaced at millimeter-scale increments and measured using the GBIR, a total station, and a TLS. Results from this portion of the study showed consistent results between the three measurement techniques within measurement error bounds.

Published: July 2019

One of the main learning problems in school today is the low absorptive capacity of students as evidenced by the average of the student’s learning outcomes is always still under KKM. The reason is that the learning conditions are still conventional and is still teacher centered learning so it does not touch the dimensional realm of the students themselves. The learning method implemented by the teacher is more dominated by teachers, so students tend to be passive and not given access to develop independently. This illustrates that the process of learning that takes place is not optimal. Efforts to achieve a high absorption students is realized by applying an active learning and fun. Appropriate learning method is a method of role playing. Learning to use the method of role playing is learning that requires students to actively participate in the learning and mastery learning materials development of imagination. The purpose of this study to apply the method of role playing in  order to enhance the activity and the cognitive achievement of students on the material excretory system in SMPN 1 Batang. The study population was half of second class VIII SMP N 1 Batang and sample used is class VIII A and VIII E. Design study used is a quasi-experimental design from of pretest-posttest control group design. The results showed that the implementation of the method of role playing on learning excretory system can increase the activity and cognitive learning outcomes. The result of the increase was gotten in using N-Gain. Results obtained from the data that there is signifiant difference between the results before and after treatment (pretest-posttest). Based on the test results of N-gain, increased cognitive achievement experimental class (VIII A) amounted to 0.633 (moderate) and grade control (VIII E) 0.32 (moderate). Based on t test, showed that the value probability (sig.) <0.05 then Ho is rejected and Ha accepted. It means that there are differences in cognitive learning outcomes significantly between the control and the experimental class. The activity of students in class VIII A of 82.27% (very active) and VIII E amounted to 75.50% (Active). This indicates that the use of role playing method can increase the activity and cognitive learning outcomes of students.

Authors: Susani Devi Erfa , Ngabekti Sri , Priyono Bambang
Published: July 2019

The results of the Biology teacher's interview at SMA Negeri 1 Petarukan shows that learning material for environmental change is carried out using varied lectures. The learning makes students less active in learning, so that student learning outcomes are low. This is indicated by the completeness of student learning outcomes in the two classes that are taught using varied lectures are 45% and 50% respectively. Learning about environmental change material that has been carried out has not linked the material to environmental care. One learning model that can be applied to improve learning outcomes and environmental care attitudes is problem based learning (PBL). This study aims to determine the effect of the application of PBL learning material on environmental changes to learning outcomes and environmental care attitudes. This research is a Quasi-Experimental Design with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample in this study is class X MIPA 1 (experiment) and X MIPA 2 (control) which is taken using objective sampling technique. The results of the t-test show that t-count = 3.28 > t-table (df = 68) = 1.99 means that the learning outcomes of the experimental class on environmental change material are higher than the control class. The N-gain test results show that the experimental class obtains the N-gain category with high criteria, while the control class obtained the N-gain category with moderate criteria. The classical completeness of learning outcomes in the experimental class is 91.1% while the control class is 75%. PBL learning can also foster an attitude of caring for the students as indicated by the results of the environmental care questionnaire obtaining very good criteria. Based on the results of the study it is concluded that learning material changes in the environment of the PBL model had a significant effect on student learning outcomes in SMAN 1 Petarukan.

A commentary on Diagnosing Cushing’s disease in the context of renal failure
Authors: Raff Hershel , Cohen Eric P , Findling James W
Published: July 2019

The diagnosis of endogenous hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome) is extremely challenging. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis making the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome even more challenging. This is particularly so since urine free cortisol (UFC) testing is not useful in CKD. The case report by Stroud et al. in this issue of the European Journal of Endocrinology highlights this problem by finding normal UFC in a patient with pituitary ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Elevated late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) testing was diagnostic and pituitary adenomectomy was curative. LNSC measurement is the diagnostic test of choice in patients with suspected Cushing's syndrome, particularly in the presence of CKD..
Sociedad racional y educación: la génesis de la racionalidad educativa modernista
Authors: Miranda Camacho Guillermo
Published: July 2019

Este ensayo tiene por objeto explorar algunas dimensiones del origen y la génesis de la racionalidad educativa modernista. En esa dirección, el hilo conductor del análisis está centrado en examinar algunas dimensiones de la interacción dialéctica que históricamente se ha establecido entre la lógica racional de los cambios estructurales de la sociedad capitalista y la construcción de la concepción educativa modernista liberal. En la búsqueda de definir las claves de ese proceso, realizamos, en el primer apartado, una breve referencia a las bases de la emergencia del pensamiento racional y las bases de la modernidad que tuvo lugar a raíz del proceso de secularización del universo cultural renacentista. En la segunda parte, nos referimos a algunas dimensiones de la Ilustración y el enciclopedismo como proyectos culturales y educativos fundamentales para la organización racional de la sociedad en el siglo XVIII. En el tercer apartado, desarrollamos algunas dimensiones de la vinculación entre la modernización capitalista y la racionalidad educativa, recurriendo a algunos de sus principales factores históricos: la configuración del Estado-nación, la nacionalidad y la ciudadanía, la racionalidad del capitalismo liberal, la universalidad y el etnocentrismo de la cultura burguesa, la razón instrumental y la concepción del progreso como evolución técnica. Asimismo, destacamos la asunción de la educación por el Estado como parte de la conformación de la esfera de lo público y de su aparato, poniendo de relieve el papel racionalizador y legitimador que están a la base de estos procesos históricos. En el cuarto apartado, analizamos cómo la conformación de la racionalidad modernista adopta una visión historicista del progreso social que abandona la eticidad humanista. Proceso que incide en la emergencia de una racionalidad educativa basada en una justificación ideológica de la desigualdad y en una visión meritocrática en la sociedad racional, como la ha denominado Touraine (1993).

En la sociedad actual, es evidente encontrar elementos sexistas que discriminen, principalmente, a las mujeres. Estereotipos y creencias influyen en este fenómeno. En este artículo, se hace un estudio de las opiniones que tienen las docentes de preescolar acerca de esta temática y se concluye que han logrado observar diferencias entre las actividades que realizan los niños y las niñas, pues se nota una separación y tales conductas obedecen a lo aprendido en sus hogares.
Memories of Discipline in Soviet Lithuania: Stories in Oral History
Authors: Ulinskaitė Jogilė
Published: July 2019

Totalitarian regimes attempt to restrict and control virtually every aspect of human life. Interestingly, conscious reflection on disciplinary practises takes up only a small part of the life-stories of interviewed Lithuanians, as far as the memory of the post-Stalin era is concerned. The interviews that form the foundation for this paper were conducted during the summer of 2017 in three different districts in Lithuania. The article aims to answer the following two research questions:1) Which mechanisms of discipline did people recognize and reflect upon?2) How were disciplinary actions remembered and described?According to interviews, tangible individuals filled the role of disciplinarians in schools and workplaces. In addition, the responsibility for discipline and control lies within the imperceptible disciplinarian, supplemented by the invisible discipline of the collective. This led to overwhelming uncertainty in the society, where people invoked intuition and interpretations of who is trustworthy to adapt to uncertain situations. The greatest impact of the totalitarian discipline was that people effectively internalized it and consequently became their own most significant disciplinarians.

In 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics published a clinical practice guideline that more specifically defined apparent life-threatening events as brief resolved unexplained events (BRUEs) and provided evidence-based recommendations for the evaluation of infants who meet lower-risk criteria for a subsequent event or serious underlying disorder. The clinical practice guideline did not provide recommendations for infants meeting higher-risk criteria, an important and common population of patients. Therefore, we propose a tiered approach for clinical evaluation and management of higher-risk infants who have experienced a BRUE. Because of a vast array of potential causes, the initial evaluation prioritizes the diagnosis of time-sensitive conditions for which delayed diagnosis or treatment could impact outcomes, such as child maltreatment, feeding problems, cardiac arrhythmias, infections, and congenital abnormalities. The secondary evaluation addresses problems that are less sensitive to delayed diagnosis or treatment, such as dysphagia, intermittent partial airway obstruction, and epilepsy. The authors recommend a tailored, family-centered, multidisciplinary approach to evaluation and management of all higher-risk infants with a BRUE, whether accomplished during hospital admission or through coordinated outpatient care. The proposed framework was developed by using available evidence and expert consensus.
Congenital Muscular Torticollis: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Clinical Practice
Authors: Sargent Barbara , Kaplan Sandra L. , Coulter Colleen , Baker Cynthia
Published: July 2019

Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common postural deformity evident shortly after birth, typically characterized by ipsilateral cervical lateral flexion and contralateral cervical rotation due to unilateral shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. New evidence is emerging on the pathogenesis of CMT, the negative long-term consequences of delaying intervention, and the importance of early identification and early intervention to maximize outcomes. Our purpose in this article is to inform pediatricians and health care providers about new research evidence and share selected recommendations and implementation strategies specifically relevant to pediatric practice to optimize outcomes and health services for infants with CMT.
Los intereses emergentes sobre la alta montaña y la vida campesina: tensiones y contradicciones de la delimitación de páramos en Colombia
Authors: Méndez Polo Olga Lucia
Published: July 2019

Las políticas ambientales que se implementan en zonas habitadas por campesinos han configurado una tensión en su relación con el Estado, que en lugar de resolverse se extiende a nuevos territorios. Evidencia de ello es la delimitación de páramos, que involucra nuevas áreas como objetivos de conservación y uso sostenible de recursos naturales. La política de delimitación de páramos evidencia y estimula, a la vez, intereses sobre la alta montaña que vienen adquiriendo cierto protagonismo en la agenda del cambio climático y, por ende, resulta relevante entender los planteamientos que se identifican y que se derivan de las narrativas de esta política. Con base en la revisión de documentos que soportan la política, pronunciamientos de campesinos y en la agenda ambiental global, en medio de la cual se genera la política de páramos, el artículo identifica algunas de las prácticas y narrativas que se han adoptado y se perfilan en un ensamblaje que configura un tipo de relación inédita entre la vida campesina, la alta montaña y el Estado. Se concluye que la medida de la delimitación de los páramos emplea idénticas prácticas a las empleadas por previas políticas conservacionistas, con respecto a la población campesina, mantenerla confinada en el predio y negarla como comunidad de territorio. Estos elementos se extienden y afianzan la noción de la presencia campesina como incompatible con la conservación de ecosistemas, acarreando consecuencias a la intención de ser reconocidos como sujetos políticos.Ideas destacadas: artículo de revisión que explora las narrativas de los documentos de la política de delimitación de páramos y de los pronunciamientos de los campesinos. La delimitación de páramos, a través de distintas intenciones como la provisión de agua a las urbes y la negociación internacional, extiende y afianza la noción de la presencia campesina como incompatible con la conservación de ecosistemas. Estos hechos evidencian tensiones y contradicciones en la política pública dirigida a los campesinos del país.
RELATIONAL CONCEPTIONS OF JUSTICE: RESPONSIBILITIES FOR HEALTH OUTCOMES
Authors: Pogge Thomas W.
Published: July 2019

Numa sociedade democrática, as regras sociais são impostas a cada um por todos.  Como “recebedores” de tais regras, tendemos a pensar que elas deviam ser designadas para engendrar a melhor distribuição possível de bens e males ou qualidade de vida. Enquanto autores das regras, tendemos a pensar que os malefícios por nós impostos através de tais regras têm maior peso moral que os danos que nós meramente deixamos de evitar ou mitigar. Embora as atuais teorias (consequencialistas e rawlsianas) sejam dominadas pela primeira perspectiva, uma concepção adequada da justiça exige um balanceamento de ambas tendências. O tema da equidade na saúde é bem apropriado para mostrar como concepções da justiça puramente dirigidas aos recebedores estão fadadas ao fracasso e como esboçar uma alternativa mais promissora.
PEDAGOGY AND PATERNALISM IN FUCHTE’S ADDRESSES TO THE GERMAN NATION
Authors: Llorente Renan
Published: July 2019

Os Discursos à Nação Alemã de Fichte foram considerados durante muito tempo uma importante contribuição para o desenvolvimento do nacionalismo alemão e do pensamento nacionalista em geral Todavia, embora os Discursos continuem sendo lidos como um prenúncio das aspirações nacionalistas alemãs, grande parte de seu contendo substantivo é hoje ignorado. Neste artigo, o Autor examina um aspecto deveras negligenciado dos Discursos, a saber, o “sistema de educação nacional” neles propostos e que merecem séria consideração pelo modo como Fichte concebe e articula o papel e função da intelligentsia em busca de salvação nacional. Argumenta-se, de modo especial, que é através da exaltação da educação que Fichte legitima sua proposta de governo por uma elite erudita, um tipo de despotismo esclareci do. Mostra-se ainda que o escopo dos privilégios concedidos aos “eruditos” na reforma educacional de Fichte solapa seu potencial radicalmente igualitarista, e que sua proposta termina por mostrar-se incoerente e inconsistente em seus próprios termos, na medida em que os propósitos explícitos de seu sistema e os resultados prometidos invalidariam completamente, se levados a cabo, a reivindicação dos esclarecidos de governa, se não a necessidade de tais governantes.
SINNLICHEIT UND SITTLICHKEIT
Authors: De Souza Draiton Gonzaga
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo examina a relação entre a Nova Filosofia de Feuerbach e os seus escritos éticos tardios. Mostrar-se-á que Feuerbach não consegue desenvolver uma Ética que possa ser considerada como uma realização coerente, no âmbito da filosofia prática, do seu projeto de uma filosofia da sensibilidade.
RUMOS DA CRÍTICA NA ESQUERDA HEGELIANA
Authors: De Souza José Crisóstomo
Published: July 2019

Apoiado nas fórmulas dos próprios jovens hegelianos, este trabalho procura caracterizar a principal oposição no interior do movimento (Feuerbach e Marx vs. Bauer e Stimer). Tal oposição aparece agora como uma entre uma crítica pesadamente construtiva, a favor da comunidade como um universal estabelecido fora da consciência dos homens, e outra a favor da primazia do sujeito, “liberal”, e potencialmente “dissolvedora”.

O uso do software GeoGebra no ensino de derivada na formação inicial de professores de matemática: um mapeamento de suas publicações
Authors: Oliveira Ricardo Augusto de , Gonçalves William Vieira
Published: July 2019

Tendo como objetivo verificar os modos de uso do GeoGebra em atividades de ensino de Derivada, estabelecida pela comunidade científica, como diferentes práticas metodológicas de uso do softwareGeoGebra na formação inicial de professores de matemática, o presente trabalho apresenta uma revisão sobre produções que tratam da “Utilização do GeoGebra no ensino de Derivadas na formação inicial de professores de matemática”. Realizamos buscas em banco de dados CAPES, Direct Science, SciELO, Web of Science, Gale e Scopus, além de outras Revistas e Repositórios online para o período de 2010 a 2018. Como metodologia para pesquisa adotamos o mapeamento, cuja escolha, implica aos pesquisadores o desafio de buscar compreender o que dizem os autores a respeito do uso deste software no ensino de Derivada na formação inicial de professores de matemática. Ainda a classificamos como uma pesquisa qualitativa (GARNICA; PEREIRA, 1997). Como resultados, identificamos três obras, e verificamos que o GeoGebra tem servido, principalmente, para elaboração de applets no GeoGebra que visam à realização de atividades exploratórias e ou investigativas pelos alunos/usuários, propondo ressignificar e construir conceitos matemáticos no fazer em sala de aula.
