Adhesion to enamel of teeth affected by molar incisor hypomineralization: Literature review
Authors: Theocharidou Apostolina , Arapostathis Konstantinos
Published: June 2018

Background/Aim: Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative defect of systemic origin, affecting permanent first molars and often permanent incisors. The treatment modalities can include, amongst others, fissure sealants for prevention of dental caries and composite restorations. Both require adhesion to tooth structure. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the adhesion to enamel affected by MIH. Material and Methods: A search of PupMed/Medline, Research Gate and Google Scholar was performed and limited between 2003, when the judgement criteria for MIH were set, and 2016. Thirty-three papers were considered relevant to the subject including five in vivo and six in vitro studies. Studies involving less than ten teeth were excluded. Results: A fouryear clinical trial showed that the application of a total-etch 2-step adhesive system prior to sealant placement is superior to the etch-seal technique. Despite the high success rate of composite restorations shown in three clinical longitudinal studies, there are conflicting results over self-etch being superior to total etch adhesive systems. Pretreating the enamel surface, prior to the adhesive system, with fluoride preventive solutions could reduce the mikroleakage under orthodontic brackets. Three in vitro studies provide inconsistent data about NaOCl pretreating potentials to improve adhesion of composite restorations. Resin infiltration, prior to resin restorations, could improve the microhardness of defected enamel, which may lead to increased bond strength, especially in combination with NaOCl pretreatment. Conclusions: Adhesion to enamel affected by molar incisor hypomeralization is inferior compared to normal enamel. Sealants applied with the etch-bondseal technique have greater retention than with the etch-seal technique. Further research is required to provide evidence of the effectiveness of the adhesive system and pretreatment to achieve optimal bonding to MIH.

Published: June 2018

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is a valuable medicinal plant, which is widely distributed throughout the world. It has been known that plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have positive effects on the quality and quantity of medicinal plants under different soil water levels. For this reason, a factorial experiment was conducted on the basis of a randomized complete block design (RCBD) to evaluate PGPR effects on the morphophysiological and phytochemical traits of fenugreek under different soil water levels. This study was conducted in two separate experiments: after the six-leaf stage and after the flowering stage. In the experiments, the treatments were plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) including the control, Sinorhizobium meliloti, Pseudomonas fluorescens, a combination of S. meliloti and P. fluorescens, and different soil water levels (i.e. 100, 80, 60 and 40% of field capacity (FC) in three replications. The results showed that the highest seed weight per plant was obtained by inoculation with the S. meliloti and P. fluorescens combination at 100% FC after the two developmental stages. The maximum concentrations of nicotinic acid and trigonelline were observed for the combination of S. meliloti and P. fluorescens at the soil water content of 40% FC after the six-leaf stage and for S. meliloti at the soil water content of 40% FC after the flowering stage. The correlation and stepwise regression analyses showed positive effects of PGPR application on the morphophysiological and phytochemical traits of fenugreek plants under different soil water levels.
Quantification and study of monthly variation of suspended sediment loads in Tafna basin – Algeria
Authors: Belarbi Fadila , Bouchelkia Hamid , Remini Boualem , Benmansour Abdelhalim
Published: June 2018

The magnitude of the phenomenon is disproportionate in semi-arid or in temperate climates. Thus Algeria is one of the most affected countries by this phenomenon and its consequences. To enable a rapid response to the request of engineers and managers to quantify sediment transport at the outlet of a watershed, a simple, easy tool to implement was developed. The principle adopted is based on hydrometric data sets from gauging stations with seasonal and annual time steps to define a suitable method for estimating sediment production. The sediment study was conducted by analysing the daily flows. Pierre du Chat station at the outlet of the Tafna basin served as an application. The obtained results are entirely satisfactory because the correlation coefficients of model Qss = f(Q) range between 72 and 95%. This method, once refined can be generalized to all watersheds in northern Algeria.
Chezy’s resistance coefficient in an egg-shaped conduit
Authors: Loukam Imed , Achour Bachir , Djemili Lakhdar
Published: June 2018

When calculating uniform flows in open conduits and channels, Chezy’s resistance coefficient is not a problem data and its value is arbitrarily chosen. Such major disadvantage is met in all the geometric profiles of conduits and channels. Knowing the value of this coefficient is essential to both the design of the channel and normal depth calculation. The main objective of our research work is to focus upon the identification of the resistance coefficient relationship. On the basis of the rough model method (RMM) for the calculation of conduits and channels, a general explicit relation of the resistance coefficient in turbulent flow is established with different geometric profiles, particularly the egg-shaped conduit. Chezy’s resistance coefficient depends strongly on the filling rate, the discharge, the longitudinal slope, the absolute roughness of the internal walls of the conduit and the kinematic viscosity of the liquid. Moreover, in this work, a simplified method is presented to determine Chezy’s resistance coefficient with a limited number of data, namely the discharge, the slope of the conduit, the absolute roughness and the kinematic viscosity. Last but not least, after studying the variation of Chezy’s resistance coefficient as a function of the filling rate, an equally explicit expression is given for the easy calculation of this coefficient when its maximum value is reached. Examples of calculation are suggested in order to show how the Chezy’s coefficient can be calculated in the egg-shaped conduit.

Published: June 2018

The aims of this study were to evaluate five infiltration models for mineral soils in the tropics with different land use types, such as settlements, plantations, rice fields, and forests. The infiltration models evaluated were Green–Ampt, Kostiakov, Kostiakov–Lewis, Philip, and Horton. The research was conducted at the Amprong watershed, Malang, Indonesia. The infiltration rate of the thirteen soil samples was analysed. The infiltration was tested using Turf-Tech infiltrometer. Moreover, each soil sample was tested in terms of the bulk density, specific gravity, porosity, soil moisture, and soil texture. The results of the study indicate that there is no significant difference (α = 5%) in the infiltration rate among the five models of infiltration. The infiltration rate in the study site was considered fast. Three models exhibiting the best performance are Kostiakov, Kostiakov–Lewis, and Horton model, respectively. The highest infiltration rate occurred in the forest land use while the lowest occurred in the rice field land use. The results of this study suggest that the infiltration model parameters correlate closely with the initial infiltration rate (fo) and the final infiltration rate (fc). In other words there is a correlation between the soil's ability to absorb water (representing the capillary force or horizontal flow) at the beginning of the infiltration (fo) and the gravity or the vertical flow upon reaching the final infiltration rate (fc).

Published: June 2018

Global rice production is constrained by bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). BLB disease incidence in West Africa was between 70–85% and yield loss in farmers’ fields was in the range of 50–90% from 2005 to 2010. In the present study, African Xoo virulence gene OPP-172000 DNA marker was identified and purified using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) products from 50 Xoo isolates. Genomic DNA of 50 Xoo isolates were analyzed using OPP-17 primer in RAPD-PCR during which African Xoo virulence gene OPP-172000 DNA marker was identified, purified, cloned, and sequenced. Cloning and DNA sequencing of African Xoo virulence gene OPP-172000 DNA generated a 1953 bp nucleotide sequence consequently tagged as AXaVrg-1953. BLAST homologous analysis of the AXaVrg-1953 sequence provides comprehensive identification of the type II secretion genes and secreted proteins, type III secretion genes and secreted proteins in African Xoo virulence gene. Phylogenetic unweighted pairgroup method arithmetic (UPGMA) analysis revealed the African AXaVrg-1953 sequence was distinct from the other Xoo virulence gene sequences from China, Japan, Korea, Germany, and the United States. This information is potentially useful for effective management of BLB disease in West Africa.

The least number of saproxylic beetles was related toFraxinus sogdiana(2 species) andHalimodendron halodendron(3 species). The author detected data about the representatives of the following families of Coleoptera: Brentidae, Bostrichidae, Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, and Curculionidae on the territory of tugai forests and the arid zone of Kazakhstan. According to the used references, the most numbered family of saproxylic beetles in the tugai forests is Buprestidae: 41 species have been known. The author found out data about 17 species of Curculionidae and 10 species of Cerambycidae. Other families have a lower number of species. It means that Buprestidae is the most studied family in the tugai forests of Kazakhstan. Further research is necessary to extend knowledge about the diversity of saproxylic beetles in the tugai forests of Kazakhstan.
Conceptualization and representation of the passing of time in Spanish phraseology: A gender study
Authors: Gutiérrez Rubio Enrique
Published: June 2018

According to the cognitive linguistics approach to phraseology, the majority of idioms are not linguistic but conceptual in nature. Moreover, they have to be seen mainly as a cultural product and, consequently, they are a splendid device for revealing the values of a given society. The aim of this study is to reveal the notion of the passing of time, as it is differently conceptualized for women and men in Spanish phraseology. Additionally, their dissimilar representations via linear structures based on the TIME IS SPACE conceptual metaphor will be proposed. The main conclusion of the study is that, according to Spanish idioms, men’s lives can be represented by a single-line structure divided into two opposite, isolated periods – childhood and maturity. On the contrary, women’s linear representation looks more like a continuous line that becomes a “forked” path a short time after women leave childhood behind. Finally, the relationship between the contemporary functioning of PUs and the endurance of the etymological stereotypes underlying these expressions will be considered.

Published: June 2018

The Dong Ho sedimentary formation consists of gravel, sand and sandstone, mudstone interbeded with asphalt layer or oil shale cropping out at Quang Ninh is considered as outcrop of petroleum potential source rock and correlated to source rock of the Cenozoic basins on the continental shelf of Southeast Asia. Geochemical investigation  of major and trace elements content variation from 14 typical samples selected from diferent layers leads to divide the Dong Ho formation into two parts: the lower part characterized by unclear variation while the upper part exposing a more clear trend. The paleoenvironmental proxy and the CIA, CIW, PIA and CPA indices of the Dong Ho formation revealed high weathering intensity. V/Ni and C/Cr s vary from 0.14 to 1.52; and from 0.02 to 0.52 respectively indicate to oxic depositional environment. The provenance of the Dong Ho sedimentary layers come from the recycling of sedimentary source rocks and deposited within freshwater lacustrine environment dominated with humid climate with estimated mean annual rainfall of 1533 mm / yr ± 181 mm before changing to wet and reductioin environment during diagenesis.
Assessing the Effectiveness of South Korea’s Development Assistance in Vietnam
Authors: Huong Vu Thanh , Phuong Nguyen Thi Minh
Published: June 2018

South Korea’s development assistance has become an important resource in facilitating Vietnam’s socio-economic development and contributed to infrastructure establishment, agricultural and rural development, as well as hunger eradication and poverty reduction in Vietnam over the past 25 years. By adopting indicators proposed in the Busan Partnership Agreement and OECD’s DAC criteria, desk study and in-depth interviews, the paper assessed the effectiveness of South Korea’s development aid in Vietnam at three levels: nation, donor and project level. The results show that at both national and donor levels, South Korea’s ODA in Vietnam is successful and effective in terms of aligning objectives of both sides, facilitating engagement of private sectors, supporting a forward-looking vision, providing public and up-to-date information, and applying effective international methods to monitor and evaluate ODA projects. At project level, the QCGH project of KOICA has proved to be relatively successful especially in terms of relevance and impacts. The paper also pointed out shortcomings of South Korea’s development at national and donor levels with a focus on disbursement of development aid, the use of Vietnam’s financial system, strictly binding conditions and limited inclusive cooperation between South Korea and Vietnam in assessing the effectiveness of South Korea’s development aid. At project level, the shortcomings lied mainly under efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability indicators. Based on evaluation of South Korean’s aid performance and effectiveness in Vietnam, the paper drew out some implications to strengthen South Korea’s development aid effectiveness in Vietnam in the future.

STUDY OF YEAST QUALITY ENHANCEMENT BY FORAGE DEPROTEINISED JUICE (DPJ) FERMENTATION
Authors: Jadhav Rajesh  K. , Deshmukh Sayali
Published: June 2018

Process of green crop fractionation (GCF) was considered and its byproducts were tested for evaluation. The byproducts obtained were pulp, LPC (Leaf protein concentrate), Juice, Deproteinised juice and pressed crop (PC). The dry weight of LPC from each crop was measured. Maize forage LPC was more as compared with other forages. Deproteinised Juice (DPJ) is utilised as a medium for the fermentation of yeast. This yeast growth was compared with  the  yeast  grown on Hansens broth  media as  control. Various concentration ratios of DPJ and Hansens media were prepared and yeast was fermented.  Yeast mycelia grown on DPJ  was  found  higher as  compared  with  other  concentrations. The culture filtrates of yeast  mycelia  collected  and  used  to  study  the  enzyme  invertase by  immobilisation  method  and  the  presence  of  alcohol  was   by  iodoform  test. Almost all the samples of various  concentrations  showed the  presence  of  alcohol by  proper  secretion of  enzyme  zymase. Enzyme  invertase  appropriately  found  less in the  culture  filtrate of  yeast   mycelia  grown  on  DPJ  alone. Therefore DPJ is  responsible  for  less breakdown of  sucrose  as  compared  with  Hansens  media which  breaks down  more  sucrose  into  glucose and  fructose  by the  enzyme  invertase.

Published: June 2018

O presente artigo explana a rotina didática como categoria pedagógica concretizadora das intenções educativas constituídas no trabalho docente, expondo diferentes formas de implementação desta rotina, de modo que opere com uma estrutura básica do cotidiano escolar. A rotina pedagógica constitui-se em um conjunto de capacidades, habilidades e hábitos pedagógico-didáticos, necessários para dirigir com eficácia a transmissão e assimilação de conhecimento na e para Educação infantil. Empregou-se como métodos para alcançá-lo, a pesquisa bibliográfica, trazendo a concepção de teóricos renomados sobre o tema em debate, refletindo, assim, sobre os aspectos da rotina didática, abordando inúmeros conceitos trazidos pela literatura, onde se confrontou as teorias dos autores sondados com a abordagem temática colocada em pauta pelo referido estudo. Conclui-se que a rotina didática é uma grande parceira, no sentido de consolidar as ações pedagógicas constituídas no trabalho docente, não só para o educando, mas também para os educadores, pois a sequência organizada propõe a disposição das atividades do período em que a criança permanece na escola, assim como também a previsão das atividades adicionais. A ideia fundamental é que as atividades planejadas necessitam contar com a participação ativa das crianças garantindo às mesmas a construção das noções de tempo e de espaço, possibilitando-lhes a compreensão do modo como às situações são organizadas e, principalmente, permitindo ricos e variados intercâmbios sociais.
ADOLESCÊNCIA X DOENÇAS CRÔNICAS: A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA PSICOLOGIA NO TRABALHO COM ADOLESCENTES HOSPITALIZADOS
Authors: Rêgo Marcela Amâncio do , Bezerra Milena Holanda de Oliveira , Martinez Carla Renata Braga de Souza
Published: June 2018

A adolescência é um momento do desenvolvimento no qual o sujeito passa por diversas transformações, tanto físicas, quanto psicológicas e o adoecimento crônico pode provocar muitas alterações no cotidiano do adolescente, impondo-o uma readaptação cobrada pelo tratamento, e, consequentemente, a implantação de uma nova rotina. Pretende-se então analisar como os adolescentes diagnosticados com doenças crônicas elaboram o adoecimento e, de que maneira, a psicologia pode colaborar para a amenização do sofrimento que surge acompanhado desse adoecimento. A pesquisa em questão é de cunho exploratório e de campo e utilizou-se da abordagem qualitativa. A amostra foi composta por 03 adolescentes na faixa etária de 14 a 17 anos diagnosticados com doença crônica e, 06 psicólogos que trabalham com o atendimento a adolescentes hospitalizados. Foram utilizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com o direcionamento nas questões sociais, e a maneira como o paciente elabora o período de adoecimento e internação.

Background: Integration is one of the main principles of contemporary medical education. Horizontal integration necessitates the coordination of teaching and learning activities within a year or a block, while vertical integration can be achieved by the contribution of basic and clinical sciences in all phases of medical education. Although vertical integration is achieved in many programs during the first 2-3 years (pre-clinical years), it is usually disregarded in clinical clerkships.Methods: A clinical-basic science integration (CBSI) program was implemented at Alfaisal University College of Medicine during 4th year clerkships of Surgery, Obstetrics-Gynecology and Internal Medicine and the topics discussed were related to those clerkships. The basic sciences disciplines involved were: microbiology, pathology and pharmacology.Results: A five points Likert scale questionnaire was used to collect the results of the students. There was a satisfaction level of over 80% for most of the questions and topics.Conclusion: Basic and clinical science integration (correlation) sessions are the way to complement vertical integration in clinical years. Integrated sessions should be planned and implemented in all clerkships with appropriate basic science topics.  In order to ensure complete integration, these sessions should be coordinated by a team of basic scientists and clinicians.
Hypothetical Approach to the Location of Genotypes (ACE & ACTN3) Associated with Energy Systems for the Athletic Performance
Authors: CERİT Mesut
Published: June 2018

This study has been done in order to reveal the theoretical approach about the energy corridor or pathway (the ability space in which every genotype is dominant) used by gene variables during the exercise or the training and the construction of the training loads related to the mentioned corridor.In this study, under the umbrella of the studies having been done about genetic and sportive performance development so far, detailed literatüre review method has beeen utilized. Within the scope of this research, by analizing similar research found in literatüre, they have been interpreted and evaluated as goal-oriented.The “model of the location of genotypes associated with the energy systems” will be a beneficial tool for the athletes and trainers for creating, establishing, constructing or organizing a training program or individiual oriented training programs.

Conclusion; genetic heritage, which triggers sport success, is blended with environmental factors, life style, application of the trainings, coverage and intensity of the loads, development of neuromotor, balanced nourishment and cultural differences and it reveals changes or differentiations which are peculiar to the individual. When all of these variables are considered, the performance development and sport success may be aligned to more foreseeable trajectories.
Resurgence risk for measles, mumps and rubella in France in 2018 and 2020
Authors: Béraud Guillaume , Abrams Steven , Beutels Philippe , Dervaux Benoit , Hens Niel
Published: June 2018

Background

Large measles and mumps outbreaks recently occurred throughout Europe and the United States.Aim: Our aim was to estimate and map the risk of resurgence for measles, mumps and rubella in France.Methods: We used a multi-cohort model combining seroprevalence information, vaccine coverage and social contact data.Results: The overall outbreak risk for France in 2018 was highest for mumps, remained significant for measles despite a recent measles outbreak and was low for rubella. Outbreak risks were heterogeneous between departments, as the effective reproduction numbers for 2018 ranged from 1.08 to 3.66. The seroprevalence, and therefore the risk of measles and rubella infection, differed significantly between males and females. There was a lower seroprevalence, and therefore a higher risk, for males. Infants of less than 1 year would be seriously affected in a future outbreak of measles, mumps or rubella, but the highest overall caseload contribution would come from teenagers and young adults (10–25 years old).Conclusions: The high risk for teenagers and young adults is of concern in view of their vulnerability to more severe measles, mumps and rubella disease and complications.
Gait Estimation and Analysis from Noisy Observations
Authors: Ismail Hafsa , Radwan Ibrahim , Suominen Hanna , Goecke Roland
Published: June 2018

People's walking style - gait - can be an indicator of their health as it is affected by pain, illness, weakness, and aging. Gait analysis aims to detect gait variations. It is usually performed by an experienced observer with the help of cameras, sensors, or other devices. Frequent gait analysis, to observe changes over time, is costly and impractical. Here, we first discuss estimating gait movements from predicted 2D joint locations that represent selected body parts from videos. Then, we use a long-short term memory (LSTM) regression model to predict 3D (Vicon) data, which was recorded simultaneously with the videos as ground truth. Feet movements estimated from video correlate highly with the Vicon data, enabling gait analysis by measuring selected spatial gait parameters (step and cadence length, and walk base) from estimated movements. Using inexpensive and reliable cameras to record, estimate and analyse a person's gait can be helpful; early detection of its changes facilitates early intervention.
Geomatics and Open Textbooks
Authors: Bell Scott , Ross Heather M. , Epp Jordan , Bates Kelsey
Published: June 2018

Geomatics is uniquely suited to the development, publication, and use of open textbooks. Here the concept of open textbooks will be introduced and the suitability of Geomatics will be examined. Geomatics (and GIS, GIScience, Cartography, Geodesy, etc.) have historic and archeological tendrils that stretch to some of the earliest artifacts related to human settlement. Furthermore, geomatics has been ever-present as humanity strove to improve, development, conquer, and acquire knowledge. This history and the dependence of modern geomatics on national interests means that the knowledge associated with teaching geomatics and related disciplines in primarily in the public domain and authors have relinquished restrictions related to copyright, intellectual property rules and laws, or other aspects of its use.

El sabino, Taxodium, es el taxon dominante en bosques de galería del río San Pedro-Mezquital (RSPM), RH1. En México, no existe información de la respuesta de esta especie con volúmenes de caudales modificados. En el RSPM, el flujo original ha sido almacenado en represas construidas de 1950 a 1989; por lo tanto, los datos hidrométricos son artificiales. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la asociación entre el crecimiento anual de especímenes colectados en un transecto de 20 km en el RSPM y el flujo artificial registrado. Los resultados indican que para la estación “El Saltito”, los sabinos responden significativamente (r = 0.72, n= 16, 1967-1986, p<0.001) al flujo acumulado del período marzo-septiembre; una respuesta similar se determinó para la estación hidrométrica “Refugio Salcido” y “El Pueblito”. Si T. mucronatum es sensible y responde al caudal primavera-verano, se puede argumentar que tiene alta plasticidad, en términos de ajustarse a la disponibilidad de agua, siempre y cuando esta se proporcione durante la estación de crecimiento. Retornar a las condiciones de flujo natural del RSPM es difícil por cuestiones sociales y económicas; no obstante, se requiere garantizar su disponibilidad en el período marzo-septiembre, situación que debe ir acompañada de acciones adicionales de protección y de restauración de los sitios que lo ameriten.

Byrsonima crassifolia (nanche) es una especie con valor comercial de la que se aprovecha el fruto en fresco, principalmente. Sus poblaciones naturales se han reducido de tal manera que solo quedan manchones o individuos aislados. El restablecimiento de este taxón en los ecosistemas requiere de la realización de estudios sobre la germinación de la semilla, debido a la presencia de latencia física proporcionada por un endocarpio grueso e impermeable que dificulta la germinación. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar tratamientos pregerminativos que permitan romper la latencia del endocarpio y lograr un alto y más uniforme porcentaje de germinación. Se aplicaron cuatro tratamientos y un testigo, los cuales fueron: 1) Testigo; 2) H2SO4 2 h + AG3 500 ppm 2 h; 3) H2SO4 2 h + AG3 1000ppm2h;4)H2SO4 1h+AG3 500ppm2h;y5)H2SO4 1h+AG3 1000ppm 2h.Elexperimentoseestablecióbajoundiseño completamente al azar con cuatro repeticiones por tratamiento.

La enseñanza de las primeras letras a las niñas de Puebla. Un estudio a partir de sus reglamentos: 1790-1843
Authors: Torres Domínguez Rosario
Published: June 2018

En Puebla, el proceso de incorporación de las mujeres a la enseñanza de las primeras letras fue lento y de larga duración. Las caracterí­sticas de las nuevas instituciones que se crearon para trasmitir esas enseñanzas fueron muy parecidas a las escuelas coloniales. Escuelas conventuales, escuelas de la Junta de Caridad y escuelas municipales siguieron el mismo método y materias de enseñanza. Si bien ampliaron la enseñanza de la lectura y escritura a las niñas de todas las clases sociales, la falta de recursos limitó el número de escuelas. En 1842, apenas habí­a dos escuelas gratuitas. Pese a los reclamos de los hombres ilustrados, la educación de las niñas, terminaba a los 11 años y era la adecuada para administrar un hogar, destino inevitable de las mujeres en el periodo.

La porencefalia como lesión cerebral es una entidad que por el gran compromiso encefálico genera déficits motores y conductuales afectando el normal desarrollo de niños, siendo este el grupo poblacional principalmente afectado; quienes desde muy temprana edad presentan manifestaciones clínicas, sin embargo en algunos casos excepcionales tienden a cursan asintomáticos o con mínimas secuelas motoras que pueden retrasar su diagnóstico; campo en que las técnicas de imagen llegan a ser fundamentales. Se presenta aquí el primer caso de porencefalia reportado en Boyacá a la edad adulta sin antecedentes que sugieran su diagnóstico o algún manejo instaurado a la misma, la cual termina complicándose dejando varias secuelas.
