MEANS OF THE ANALYSIS OF THE SHS PROCESS ON THE BASIS OF THE CHRONOGRAPHIC AND TOPOGRAPHIC PRESENTATIONS OF THERMAL IMAGING DATA
Authors: Dolmatov Aleksey Viktorovich , Berestok Grigoriy Mikhaylovich
Published: February 2018

The paper presents the means for measuring the spatial and temporal coherence of temperature in the microregions of a wave of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) and revealing the relationship between the events of ignition of individual foci. The method for determining the parameters of the thermal wave structure of the synthesis is based on the chronographical and topographical representation of micro- thermal data in the form of maps that visualize the ergodicity of the SHS process and facilitate the recogni- tion of individual foci of burning on thermal imaging images. The ergodicity of the phenomenon is used in the method to determine the time of induction of the combustion sites, the time of their growth, the growth rate of the foci tangentially to the front of the SHS wave, the size of the foci in the direction of the normal to the front. The technique is implemented in the form of software integrated into the original micro thermal imaging complex. Approbation of the method is represented by the results of experimental studies of the Ni + Al + NiAl system with a variation in the fraction and dispersity of the inert additive. The error in measuring the normal velocity of the SHS front of the wave with the proposed technique was 0.05 %.

Authors: Fulks Michael , Kaufman Valerie , Clark Michael , Stout Robert L.
Published: February 2018

Objective. – Further refine the independent value of NT-proBNP, accounting for the impact of other test results, in predicting all-cause mortality for individual life insurance applicants with and without heart disease.

Method. – Using the Social Security Death Master File and multivariate analysis, relative mortality was determined for 245,322 life insurance applicants ages 50 to 89 tested for NT-proBNP (almost all based on age and policy amount) along with other laboratory tests and measurement of blood pressure and BMI.

Results. – NT-proBNP values ≤75 pg/mL included the majority of applicants denying heart disease and had the lowest risk, while values >500 pg/mL for females and >300 pg/mL for males had very high relative risk. Those admitting to heart disease had a higher mortality risk for each band of NT-proBNP relative to those denying heart disease but had a similar and equally predictive risk curve.

Conclusion. – NT-proBNP is a strong independent predictor of all-cause mortality in the absence or presence of known heart disease but the range of values associated with increased risk varies by sex.

Authors: Kumar Mahesh Nalin , Sharma Prafull , Gupta Ankush , Bhat Keshavamurthy Ganapathy , Verma Niket
Published: February 2018

Background: Number of markers of inflammation has been associated with coronary artery disease and various studies have shown increased levels during chronic stable angina, acute myocardial infarction, and percutaneous coronary intervention. However, co-relation to final outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention with these markers has not been studied. Aim of this study was to try and find a correlation between markers of inflammation released during percutaneous coronary intervention and incidence of restenosis on follow up at 06 moths on patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with Bare Metal Stent (BMS).Methods: 36 consecutive only Bare Metal Stent (BMS) angioplasties done at our centre between July 2015 and June 2016 were analysed for markers of inflammation from peripheral venous sample before the procedure and coronary sinus sample after the procedure. Pts were kept on follow up for 6 months and assessed as per their clinical symptoms and Coronary Angiogram was done where indicated and results tabulated.Results: There was increase in the studied markers of inflammation post percutaneous coronary intervention but they did not correlate with or predict possible restenosis.Conclusions: This study showed that markers of inflammation are elevated during percutaneous coronary intervention but none of these markers correlates with subsequent restenosis.

Published: February 2018

Background: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are one of the most prevalent cardiovascular disorders affecting 20% of world’s population. There is emerging data that yoga therapies may be useful in managing modest elevations in BP. Yoga, specific yogic exercise (Sudarshan kriya) taught as a training protocol under Art of living course (AOL), is especially attractive as a candidate therapy in the management of elevated BP because of its combination of gentle physical activity. Hence, this study was undertaken to compare the effects of SDK on blood lipid levels.Methods: A total of 300 patients of hypertension and prehypertension were taken in the study where control group were given drugs treatment and life style modification and yoga group additionally had undergone yoga training. Lipid levels were estimated in both groups at entry, 06 months and 12 months and analyzed.Results: Lipid levels at entry were same in both while the yoga therapy group showed decrease in TG, LDL and VLDL at six months and 12 months but decrease was not significant. HDL levels showed significant increase in yoga group (P<0.05) at six months which was maintained at 12 months more so in diabetic patients.Conclusions: Yoga therapy has beneficial effect on serum lipid levels and should be included in therapy along with other measures.

La inclusión de nuevas tecnologías en las buenas prácticas de enseñanza de español en educación media
Authors: Gómez Azziz Marina
Published: February 2018

Esta investigación trata de las buenas prácticas de enseñanza y el uso de nuevas tecnologías en las clases de Idioma Español, en educación media. El marco teórico refleja una postura epistemológica relacionada con el paradigma posmoderno que reivindica el antipositivismo, el transaccionalismo y la valoración del contexto. Para ser coherentes con el enfoque anteriormente señalado, se eligió una metodología de investigación de corte cualitativo donde "no se buscan verdades últimas, sino relatos" (Valles, 1999, 56). Creímos válido acercarnos al análisis de nuestro material de campo a través de tres dimensiones que consideramos globalizadoras. Ellas son: la dimensión espacio-temporal, la de abordaje y la de uso. Estas dimensiones tienen la mirada puesta en el docente y en las nuevas tecnologías, y nuestra mirada, en particular, se focalizó en el profesor y sus decisiones de aula al planificar su trabajo con nuevas tecnologías. A partir de ese primer enfoque se recorrió el quehacer del aprendiz, su actuar y su sentir respecto de las decisiones didácticas asumidas.
Tendencias en la formación inicial docente
Authors: Vaillant Denise , Manso Jesús
Published: February 2018

En los últimos años, se han multiplicado los estudios e informes que muestran insatisfacción sobre la calidad de los programas de formación docente. Se hace necesario, hoy más que nunca, preguntarse cómo lograr la mejora de la formación inicial de maestros y profesores, para que ésta tenga real impacto en las aulas. Por esta razón, los autores proponen un análisis y reflexión acerca de una serie de iniciativas identificadas en la literatura. Las reformas e innovaciones presentadas han sido agrupadas en cinco categorías de análisis referidas al establecimiento de estándares en las instituciones formadoras; al uso de la evidencia y de la investigación sobre la práctica docente; a la titulación alternativa; a la articulación con centros educativos, y a la evaluación externa. Tales categorías se ilustran con los casos de Estados Unidos y Australia, así como los de Inglaterra, Holanda, Finlandia y Suecia. Se parte del supuesto que ciertas propuestas nacionales ofrecen ideas inspiradoras para re-pensar los programas de formación docente de otras realidades educativas.

Authors: Aguirre María Laura
Published: February 2018

Los estudiantes de bachillerato suelen presentar serias dificultades en la comprensión de los textos filosóficos trabajados en clase. Ante este problema, la siguiente pregunta cobró gran valor y constituyó el eje conductor de la investigación que sintetiza el presente artículo: ¿cuáles son la buenas prácticas de los profesores de filosofía de enseñanza media que favorecen un diálogo entre los textos de los filósofos y los estudiantes? La metodología escogida, por considerarse más adecuada para este tipo de investigación, fue la cualitativa. Las técnicas empleadas fueron: observaciones de clases de filosofía y entrevistas a docentes reconocidos. Se visitaron las clases de siete docentes que estuvieran analizando e interpretando un texto filosófico. Asimismo se entrevistó a estos profesores cuyas clases fueron observadas. Se descubrieron formas interesantes de diálogos y se elaboraron ocho construcciones interpretativas que se denominaron “episodios”, de las que se desarrollarán cinco en este artículo: prácticas metacognitivas; tendiendo puentes; el diálogo que despierta; el diálogo que construye razonamientos; filosofando con humor.

INSTITUTIONAL SHAREHOLDING A MODERATOR TO AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARACTERISTICS AND EARNINGS MANAGEMENT OF LISTED CONGLOMERATE FIRMS IN NIGERIA
Authors: Umar Abbas , Hassan Shehu Usman
Published: February 2018

The relevance of audit committee characteristics in constraining managerial opportunistic tendencies has been explored by various researchers; the confrontational view in terms of the direction of their relationship has paint a vague picture which begs the introduction of other monitoring mechanism that may give a clear cut picture on direction of this relationship. This study uses two-stage least squares model and examines the impact of audit committee characteristics, institutional shareholding on discretionary accruals of listed conglomerate firms in Nigeria. Secondary data were extracted from the annual reports of 6 most active listed firms on the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period 2006 to 2015. After running the OLS regression, a robustness test was conducted for validity of statistical inferences. A multiple regression was employed using HACC Model. The study documents that audit committee characteristic and institutional shareholding has significant impact on earnings management of the firms, specifically, audit committee size, audit committee financial expertise and institutional shareholding are inversely related with earnings management, while audit committee independence is positively and significantly related with earnings management, but there is no such impact of audit committee meetings. Furthermore, institutional shareholding and audit committee size are inversely related with earnings management; audit committee independence and institutional shareholding are positively, strongly and significantly constraining earnings management, while audit committee financial expertise with committees’ meetings and institutional shareholding reveals no impact on earnings management. In line with the findings, the study recommended  that regulatory bodies like CAMA, SEC, and NSE should ensure that listed conglomerate firms in Nigeria strictly adhere with code of best practice so that the interest of various stakeholder’s would be fully protected.

Published: February 2018

Shale Oil export from the United States overseas today depicts the need for the United States to reduce its negative trade balance sheet and Nigeria’s wish to improve agricultural exports reflects its willingness to reduce its problem of oil dependence. Net Savings accruing from exporting capabilities have strong consequences for trade and specifically for balance of payment and country specific trade account. Its positive effect on net trade is often affected by strong domestic consumption of foreign imports leading to trade imbalances, and capital flight. This study investigates the relationship between savings, exports and net trade using quantitative techniques by considering panel data for Nigeria and the United States, It was found that net savings from trade and exports promote net trade positively, and that imports affects net trade negatively since business were probably not importing to promote further production activities causing trade deficit and negative imbalance.

AbstractExclusive breastfeeding intention is a mother’s intention to provide her baby only breast milk since the infant was born until at the age of 6 months. Intention in prenatal period is the direct affirmation of exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to find out the most dominant factor related to exclusive breastfeeding intention among pregnant women at a mother and child hospital in South Tangerang. A cross-sectional study design was conducted primarily. The samples were 143 pregnant women on their third semester pregnancy selected by purposive sampling. Intention was measured by the Infant Feeding Intention scale questionnaire. Meanwhile, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were measured by the modified Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the multivariate logistic regression analysis. It was 61.5% mother had strong exclusive breastfeeding intention. Perceived behavioral control dominantly influenced the exclusive breastfeeding intention (p value = 0.007; Odds Ratio 3.030; 95% CI = (1.361-6.746)). The other factors influencing intention were attitude, exposure to exclusive breastfeeding from social media, health workers’ support, previous breastfeeding experienceand mothers’ occupation. A mother with high perceived behavioral control has three times more likely to have ‘high exclusive breastfeeding intention’ than those having the low ones.AbstrakIntensi pemberian ASI eksklusif adalah intensi ibu untuk memberikan hanya ASI pada bayinya sejak dilahirkan hingga berusia enam bulan.

La cobertura de los daños ocasionados por vehículos desconocidos, sin seguro o robados
Authors: Ugena Muñoz Sara
Published: February 2018

El seguro obligatorio de automóviles surgió en España a raíz de la entrada en vigor de la Ley 122/1962, de 24 de diciembre, de uso y circulación de vehículos a motor. La finalidad de su creación fue que las víctimas por hechos del tráfico fuesen debidamente asistidas e indemnizadas. Desde entonces, los conductores de vehículos a motor que con motivo de su tránsito ocasionen un daño a las personas o las cosas quedan obligados a reparar el mal causado, corriendo la cobertura por cuenta del asegurador del vehículo culpable. Con todo, la responsabilidad civil de estos conductores no siempre quedaba resarcida, piénsese por ejemplo en los casos en que el vehículo o el conductor causante fueran desconocidos, o en aquellos otros en que pese a ser conocidos, el vehículo no se encontraba asegurado. De ahí que, para solventar estas posibles fisuras, el artículo 45 de la referida Ley 122/1962 creara en el Ministerio de Hacienda, y como servicio dependiente de la Dirección General de Seguros, el Fondo Nacional de Garantía de Riesgos de la Circulación, que fue organizado por el Decreto-ley 18/1964, de 3 de octubre y finalmente absorbido en 1982 por el Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros (CCS) en virtud de lo dispuesto por el Real Decreto 2878/1981, de 13 de noviembre.

El sector financiero español y los sistemas extrajudiciales de resolución de litigios: Actualidad y tendencia.

Published: February 2018

Asistimos como profesionales en los distintos ámbitos y, a la vez, como consumidores a un periodo de verdadera convulsión en el ámbito financiero, pues desde que comenzara la crisis económica mundial, años 2007-2008, ha sido este sector, y dentro de él el bancario y bursátil, uno de los más conflictivos, como lo demuestran las estadísticas extrajudiciales, judiciales y noticias frecuentes en los medios de comunicación. Al propio tiempo se insiste desde la Unión Europea, e incluso se impone a los Estados miembros, el velar por el establecimiento de procedimientos eficaces y efectivos de resolución extrajudicial de conflictos entre empresas y consumidores, así como por la existencia de organismos independientes e imparciales para tal menester en todos los sectores, incluido el sector financiero. Nos planteamos, por tanto, si nuestros actuales sistemas de resolución extrajudicial en este sector cumplen tales estándares en la actualidad, así como cuál debería ser la tendencia en un futuro próximo.
Concurso de la herencia en el Derecho Concursal Argentino. Discordancias entre el Código Civil y Comercial de la Nación y la Ley de Concursos y Quiebras.
Authors: Gerbaudo Germán E.
Published: February 2018

Frente a la muerte de una persona su patrimonio puede encontrarse impotente para satisfacer de manera regular las obligaciones exigibles, lo que implicará en sus herederos la necesidad de recurrir a alguna clase de proceso concursal a fin de remover la insolvencia. También, puede acontecer que los acreedores tengan la necesidad de instar la quiebra del patrimonio del fallecido. Estas situaciones generan puntos de contacto entre los regímenes sucesorio y concursal. Se trata de confluencias que, en muchos casos, no resultan de fácil resolución en atención a las diferentes finalidades que persiguen las normas concursales y las sucesorias.

Authors: Maffei Alberti Verónica
Published: February 2018

L’industria del fashion e del lusso è un’eccellenza tutta europea, il cui valore costituisce senza dubbio un importante apporto all’economia dell’Unione. Secondo i dati raccolti dalla Commissione Europea, infatti, in tale indotto sono impiegate circa 5 milioni di persone, il valore dei beni di lusso (quali abbigliamento, accessori, gioielli e orologi, articoli in pelle, profumi e cosmetici), provenienti dalle grandi marche europee, rappresenta il 74% del valore mondiale di tutti i prodotti della stessa categoria,  con una stima delle esportazioni che si aggira sui 260 miliardi di euro, corrispondenti al 10% di tutte le esportazioni europee (su questi dati, si veda la pagina web: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/fashion/high-end-industries/eu_it).
Central Pontine Myelinolysis: A Case Study
Authors: Arrowsmith Leigh , Tolar Christopher
Published: February 2018

Central Pontine Myelinolysis (CPM) commonly presents as a complication of treatment in patients with profound life threatening hyponatraemia. It occurs when the sodium level is corrected too rapidly. Hyponatraemia should never be corrected at a rate greater than 8-10mmol/L of sodium per day. Rapid correction causes extracellular tonicity and will continue to drive water out of the brain’s cells leading to cellular dysfunction.

Frequent clinical signs include dysphagia, dysarthria, diplopia and acute para/quadraparesis. Patients can also experience locked in syndrome, where cognitive function is intact but all muscles are paralysed with the exception of eye blinking.

CPM gets its name as it occurs when cell dysfunction causes destruction of the myelin sheath of nerve cells in the brain stem, more specifically the pons. It is associated with poor prognosis and prevention is of primary importance.

Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow: Best Practice for CSF Sampling of an EVD to Minimise Patient Risk
Authors: Crane Ruby , King Nicole
Published: February 2018

Managing raised intracranial pressure (ICP) with the use of an external ventricular drain (EVD) is a common occurrence in a neurosurgical setting. A central role of the neuroscience nurse in managing that EVD is to monitor the patient for signs and symptoms of infection otherwise known as ventriculitis. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sampling from an EVD has historically been completed as a daily routine specimen to monitor for any signs of infection. However, in more recent times there has been evidence to suggest that specimens should only be collected when infection or ventriculitis is suspected to minimise the interruption of the closed system. Different practices have been identified related to the frequency of sampling, the best solution for decontamination of the sampling site/port and preferable port for obtaining the specimen. Our aim was to complete an integrative literature review. Medline Complete and CINAHL were searched and articles were screened. Nine articles were used to form the integrated review. The main findings were collated and found that daily sampling is no longer recommended. The proximal port was the most popular choice for sampling. Decontaminating solutions used for accessing an EVD varied with no evidence to support the choice of solution. Findings of the majority of papers were focussed on sampling frequency and other associated ways to minimise infection rather than choice of sampling site or the use of specific decontaminating solutions.
Enquiry into Practice: Management of Terminal Catastrophic Intracranial Haemorrhage in Palliative Care
Authors: Smith Anna
Published: February 2018

The management of terminal catastrophic haemorrhage is a rare clinical palliative emergency for which the management is based largely on anecdotal and experiential guidelines, with no high grade evidence but rather robust contention and controversy. Whilst often rapid and deadly, inevitably dramatic and devastating for the treating health professionals and family, the key management areas include risk identification, supportive practices, the use of sedative medication and the ethical issues faced in the management of terminal haemorrhage.
The Applicability of the Difficulty with Mobility Questionnaire (DMQ) as an Outcome Measure for Dog Guide Instruction
Authors: Grow Steve La , Towers Andy , Kim Dae , Haneline Rod
Published: February 2018

This study sought to assess the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the Difficulty with Mobility Questionnaire (DMQ) to determine its applicability as an outcome measure for dog guide instruction. Forty-nine trainees receiving dog guide instruction from Leader Dogs for the Blind participated in this study. All rated their overall ability to get around (AGA) and the difficulty they experienced with 16 separate mobility related behaviours (DMQ-16) before and after training. The DMQ-16 was found to be reliable, valid, and sensitive enough to register change over time and therefore useful as an outcome measure. Dog guide instruction was found to result in changes in mean AGA, mean DMQ-16 and all but one of the 16 items this measure assesses.
Evaluating the Validity of Texas 2 STEPS
Authors: Hallak Tracy L. , Aguerrevere Luis E.
Published: February 2018

The Texas 2 STEPS Evaluation Tool was assessed for face validity. Thirty Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialists (COMS) piloted the tool while evaluating children under the age of five years. Each participant was asked to evaluate their comfort level working with this population and report the number of years’ experience they have working as a COMS. The majority of participants found the tool useful for assessing orientation and mobility (O&M) skills in children. The Texas 2 STEPS was also found to be user friendly regardless of the COMS years of experience. Together these findings indicate that the Texas 2 STEPS has the potential to be a valid and reliable tool for assessing O&M skills in children with vision impairment.
A Novel Biased Energy Distribution (BED) Technique for Cluster-Based Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Salami A. F. , Bello-Salau H. , Anwar F. , Aibinu A. M.
Published: February 2018

This paper presents the impact of utilizing a biased energy distribution (BED) scheme for clustering sensor networks. In clustering sensor networks, some of the nodes are elected as aggregators and they compress the data from their cluster members before sending the aggregated data to the sink. Existing clustering routing protocols assume that all the nodes are provided with equal amount of energy but this shortens the network lifetime and makes the network unstable. This paper proposes a solution prioritizing the network into higher and lower energy nodes. The aim of this approach is to ensure well balanced energy consumption in order to maximize network lifetime. It is shown by simulation that the proposed technique exhibits better performance when compared to existing clustering routing techniques in terms of throughput, network lifetime and energy consumption.
Diesel Particulate Analysis using Sem-Edx and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
Authors: Ikezawa S. , Wakamatsu M. , Ueda T.
Published: February 2018

In this paper, composition analysis using scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X- ray spectroscopy analysis (SEM-EDX) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for particulate matter in diesel exhaust is presented. Conventionally, scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) has been widely used to obtain particle size distribution of the suspended particles. However, real-time analysis of the composition of diesel particulate matter is difficult because of the small sized particles and rapidly exhausted. The particulates are less than a few micrometers in diameter. Realtime chemical analysis of the very small sized particles emitted from diesel fuels is facilitated with LIBS technique.
Design an Intelligent Controller for Full Vehicle Nonlinear Active Suspension Systems
Authors: Aldair A. A. , Wang W. J.
Published: February 2018

The main objective of designed the controller for a vehicle suspension system is to reduce the discomfort sensed by passengers which arises from road roughness and to increase the ride handling associated with the pitching and rolling movements. This necessitates a very fast and accurate controller to meet as much control objectives, as possible. Therefore, this paper deals with an artificial intelligence Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) technique to design a robust controller to meet the control objectives. The advantage of this controller is that it can handle the nonlinearities faster than other conventional controllers. The approach of the proposed controller is to minimize the vibrations on each corner of vehicle by supplying control forces to suspension system when travelling on rough road. The other purpose for using the NF controller for vehicle model is to reduce the body inclinations that are made during intensive manoeuvres including braking and cornering. A full vehicle nonlinear active suspension system is introduced and tested. The robustness of the proposed controller is being assessed by comparing with an optimal Fractional Order PIλDu (FOPID) controller. The results show that the intelligent NF controller has improved the dynamic response measured by decreasing the cost function.
