CONSTRUCCIÓN TEÓRICA SOBRE LA FORMACIÓN DE INTELIGENCIA EMOCIONAL EN SUJETOS ENCARCELADOS: UN ENFOQUE EDUCATIVO CON ENFOQUE PLURAL, BIOPSICOSOCIAL, ESPIRITUAL, COGNITIVO Y CULTURAL
Authors: ANDRADE BIEHL KATIA , LÚCIA CECCONELLO ANA , DIAS FAGAN ANTÔNIO RICARDO
Published: June 2020

Desde el concepto de plasticidad cerebral, la competencia o inteligencia emocional se define como "la capacidad del individuo para autorregularse, restringiendo sus impulsos e instintos, que incluye las habilidades de compasión y involucramiento cooperativo". Teniendo en cuenta que, en condiciones normales de aprendizaje, los sujetos encarcelados podrían haber tenido otra organización emocional, dada la estimulación temprana de sus valores con un enfoque plural, biopsicosocial, espiritual, cognitivo y cultural, utilizando toda la comprensión sobre el aprendizaje emocional, precedido y procedido de la estimulación y motivación de las funciones cerebrales. Con respecto a estos parámetros, hay un campo emergente en la misión de SUSEPE, tanto en las ciencias que mejoran como en el universo de temas a estimular, que es promover "la reeducación y reinserción del individuo rodeado de libertad para la sociedad". De un "Constructo teórico sobre la formación de la inteligencia emocional en sujetos encarcelados: un enfoque educativo con un enfoque plural, biopsicosocial, espiritual, cognitivo y cultural", llegamos a la conclusión de que entendiendo como el cerebro adquiere recuerdos, cómo maneja la información que llegan a él, como construye la inteligencia emocional del individuo y que factores influyen en estos procesos, contribuye a crear programas de políticas públicas que pueden reducir la vulnerabilidad psicosocial de los reclusos, ayudándolos en el proceso de socialización saludable y reintegración en la sociedad.
RESPONSABILIDAD COMO MECANISMO DE PROTECCIÓN DE LA PERSONALIDAD: CONSIDERACIONES ALREDEDOR DEL "DAÑO MORAL" EN LA TRADICIÓN JURÍDICA BRASILEÑA Y LA LEY COMPARADA
Authors: Pinto da Silva Guilherme Augusto
Published: June 2020

La responsabilidad civil se enfrenta a un momento de resignificación en los últimos años, en virtud de la reubicación de la persona humana al centro de la preocupación privatista por la Constitución Ciudadana. De ello deriva, inexorablemente, la creación de mecanismos de protección a la personalidad. La tradición jurídica brasileña estableció, por la vía legislativa, una cláusula general de daños, a través del artículo 186 del Código Civil. Se vio que la disciplina de la responsabilidad civil, que podría guiarse como instrumento de protección a la personalidad, fue utilizada como fundamento para un aumento exponencial de demandas con pleito de indemnización por "daño moral". La evolución del debate en torno a un concepto de "daño moral", establece la necesidad de confrontar los perjuicios fuera de balance que se rigen con la disciplina de los derechos de la personalidad. La disciplina de los derechos de la personalidad enfrenta semejante problema en lo que concierne al modelo de tipicidad, atipicidad o semi-tipicidad de intereses tutelables y, consecuentemente, de daños personales. De ahí la necesidad de confrontar el modelo jurídico brasileño, a través de la disciplina del derecho comparado, con el modelo francés, alemán y de common law, buscando aproximaciones en el sentido de identificar claramente intereses dignos de tutela jurídica de forma específica y no genérica y abstracta.

Sharing of ideas, opinions or any information with the help of the medium of virtual networks, online
communities and computer-based innovations is known as social media. Blogs, social networking sites like
Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube etc, Microblogging mediums, Photos etc. that run with the help of internet,
provides the end-users with swift communication and aids in providing awareness, by influencing large
audiences contributes to social media. Healthcare sector is rapidly adapting social media by providing a
medium to the patients, physicans and HCP’s to discuss and communicate medical information and
knowledge outside the vicinity of a hospital or clinic. These days, patients, their relatives, friends or family
use the social media to provide knowledge to the world and educate them incase they have similar ailments.
There are several blogs and forums related to medical knowledge where users tend to ask their problems to
the physicians and get a reply back to their problems.Medical specialists join such online medical forums that
helps them to research in a better manner, refer colleagues, increase their network and read health related
articles and updates. With every good thing, comes an attached risk which is related to the use of social
mediums, where the image of a Healthcare professional could be at stake due to the unprofessional content
against them. There are various limitations to the HCP’s in case they seek to share patient stories online as it
could be a case of breach & privacy. Nevertheless, this research study highlights the role played by social
media in digitally redefining and empowering healthcare sector from the perspective of clinical and patient
centric health literacy and health guides.
An Efficient & Secure Timer Based baiting Approach to Detect Black Hole Attacks in MANET
Authors: Begum Shifana
Published: June 2020

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a type of wireless networks that provides numerous applications in
different areas. Security of MANET had become one of the hottest topics in networks fields. MANET is
vulnerable to different types of attacks that affect its functionality and connectivity. The black-hole attack is
considered one of the mostwide spread active attacks that degrade the performance and reliability of the
network as a result of dropping all incoming packets by the malicious node.
Black-hole node aims to fool every node in the network that wants to communicate with another node by
pretending that it always has the best path to the destination node. AODV is a reactive routing protocol that
has no techniques to detect and neutralize the black-hole node in the network. In this research, we
enhanced AODV by integrating a new lightweight technique that uses timers and baiting in order to detect
and isolate single and cooperative black-hole attacks. During the dynamic topology changing the suggested
technique enables the MANET nodes to detect and isolate the black-hole nodes in the network. The
implementation of the proposed technique is implemented using java.
Comparison of Spark Ignition Engine Performance and Emission Analysis Using Gasoline, LPG and Mixture Fuels
Authors: Sharma Nagendra Kumar
Published: June 2020

Emissions of higher amount of pollutants are a major concern in the use of conventional fuels such gasoline
and diesel. Exhaust emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxides (CO) and sulphur dioxides
(SO2) affect the human body adversely. The problem of emission of higher amount of harmful pollutants can
be diluted by use of alternate fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline and their mixtures. The
emission level can be brought down to safer level set by international agencies.
In this work the engine was tested using LPG, gasoline and with gasoline and LPG-air mixture; so that
comparative study of the emissions of pollutants gases and engine performance can be made. The results of
the experiments have shown improvement in efficiency of LPG mode engine in comparison to gasoline and
mixture fuel engine. Simultaneously, there was a reduction in HC and CO emissions of LPG and mixture fuel
engines with reference to gasoline mode engines. On the other hand, the pure LPG fuel system showed a
tremendous reduction in emissions, delivered a comparable torque as compared to gasoline and mixture fuel
engine. The fuel consumption rate of LPG fuel mode is slightly higher than the gasoline mode. LPG mode is
more economical but in most of the cases it results in about 10 -15% power loss.

Authors: Pratap Singh Pushpendra , Chaturvedi Sarika
Published: June 2020

Extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by fungus Aspergillus niger which was isolated from
waste water is being reported in the present paper. The production of silver nanoparticles was evidenced by
UV-Vis spectrum, showing the absorbance between 260 to 400 nm. The nanoparticles characterized by
Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibited silver nanoparticles with diameter of 25nm to 75nm. Energy
Dispersive X-ray analysis reveals strong signals in the silver region and confirms the formation of the silver
nanoparticles. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy study confirmed that the A. niger mycomass has
the ability to perform both reduction and capping functions on the silver nanoparticles. Compound Microscopy
confirms the self-assembling property of silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles showed remarkable
antibacterial activity against Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Bacillus subtilis
bacterial strains. Reduction of silver ions is an extracellular and rapid process; this information may lead to
the development of easy protocols for biosynthesis of the silver nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity of silver
nanoparticles is important for the development of effective antibacterial agent against those bacteria who are
showing resistance against antibiotic drugs which are available in market.
Underwater Image Enhancement using Color Balance and Fusion
Authors: Rao Y Appa
Published: June 2020

We have introduced an elective way to deal with upgrade the pictures caught submerged and corrupted
because of the medium dispersing and assimilation. Our technique is a solitary picture approach that doesn't
require particular equipment or information about the submerged conditions or scene structure. It expands on
the mixing of two pictures that are straightforwardly gotten from a shading redressed and white-adjusted
rendition of the first debased picture. The two pictures to combination, just as their related weight maps, are
characterized to advance the exchange of edges and shading complexity to the yield picture. To stay away
from that the sharp weight map changes make ancient rarities in the low recurrence parts of the reproduced
picture, we additionally adjust a multi scale combination technique. Our broad subjective and quantitative
assessment uncovers that our upgraded pictures and recordings are described by better exposedness of the
dull districts, improved worldwide difference, and edges sharpness. Our approval likewise demonstrates
that our calculation is sensibly free of the camera settings, and improves the exactness of a few picture
preparing applications.

Published: June 2020

Los desórdenes osteomusculares son un problema generalizado en la población laboralmente activa, sin embargo se diferencian dependiendo del trabajo realizado. De acuerdo con Santasmarinas Viñao (1) “Mineros, dentistas, pintores, jugadores de fútbol o empleados de banca, da lo mismo, cualquier profesión desempeñada durante muchas horas, día tras día, durante años, condiciona la forma de vida de la persona; la forma de sentarse, andar, respirar, ver, oír y pensar. El trabajo diario va modelando al ser humano, le da satisfacciones, pero también le somete al riesgo de sufrir determinadas afecciones.” En este caso, la población de interés son los músicos instrumentistas profesionales, los cuales deben mantener horarios de práctica y ensayos muy exigentes en cuanto a frecuencia e intensidad, además se le agrega a lo anterior las presentaciones y conciertos constantes, relacionados como situaciones estresantes, que en conjunto, pueden llegar a provocar grandes estragos en el organismo, principalmente a nivel del sistema osteomuscular, como consecuencia del sobreuso de los segmentos corporales y el alto riesgo biomecánico al que están sometidos permanentemente. Colombia pese a ser un país con un aumento creciente en los últimos años frente a la práctica musical, carece de centros especializados en la atención a profesionales instrumentistas.

De esta forma la presente investigación de revisión documental con método cualitativo descriptivo, se realiza con el fin de diseñar una estrategia de prevención por medio de la ludoprevención para disminuir el índice y el riesgo de enfermedades laborales asociadas los DME con el fin que brindar una herramienta de aprendizaje para las empresas, los trabajadores aplicando conocimientos como Especialista en el área de seguridad y salud en el trabajo. Esto teniendo en cuenta el diseño de una cartilla de ludoprevención con énfasis en educación para adultos buscando prevenir enfermedades laborales; por ello la cartilla que se propone sobre el Programa de Ludoprevención para Desórdenes Musculoesqueléticos Asociados al Trabajo incluye una serie de actividades lúdicas en donde el trabajador se eduque para prevenir las enfermedades que se generan por su labor diaria. La idea de esta investigación es responder a las necesidades de los trabajadores bajo una propuesta que no solo pueda ser aplicada en el lugar de trabajo como complemento de las pausas activas diarias, sino también para que puedan ser ejecutadas en casa. Para tales efectos se realiza una revisión de la literatura con tres ejes temáticos esenciales: Estudios e investigaciones relacionadas con programas de promoción y prevención enfermedad laboral utilizando métodos lúdicos para adultos; enfermedad laboral y DME, evaluación de riesgo biomecánico y percepción de DME.

Published: June 2020

Esta investigación es de carácter cuantitativo, con un nivel descriptivo y correlacional cuyo objetivo fue analizar la relación entre el componente intelectual y nutricional en un grupo de 76 menores escolarizados de una institución educativa de carácter oficial seleccionada por conveniencia, 38 sujetos hicieron parte del grupo control (sin desnutrición) y 38 conformaron el grupo caso (con desnutrición crónica). La evaluación clínica de la capacidad intelectual se realizó a través de la prueba RIAS; además de la valoración nutricional; de acuerdo con los resultados se encontró un menor desempeño en los sujetos tanto del grupo caso como del control a nivel de las escalas de inteligencia verbal, no verbal e índice de memoria; sin embargo, no se presentaron diferencias significativas en los grupos en funcion del componente intelectual. Por lo anterior se concluye que al investigar el factor de implicación nutricional en los menores se debe tener en cuenta el análisis de otro tipo de variables como es el psicosocial la cual podría estar explicando el desempeño análogo obtenido por los grupos evaluados.

Empirical Modeling of Hot Air-Drying Kinetics of Horseradish Dehydration
Authors: Guragain Mukesh , Mitra Pranabendu
Published: June 2020

The preservation of perishable horseradish crop is essential to increase the shelf-life and supply year-round. Hot air-drying method is commercially viable for preserving fruits and vegetables. However, drying conditions such as drying temperature affect the drying kinetic and the final quality of dried products. It is necessary to understand how drying temperature and blanching affect the drying kinetics of horseradish for the prediction of the right drying conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate the hot air-drying kinetics by fitting commonly used five empirical models to establish right hot air-drying conditions for drying of horseradish. The unblanched (control, C) and blanched (B) horseradish slices were dried at 50, 70 and 85℃ until reaching to an equilibrium moisture content (db). The moisture reduction data were collected at certain intervals and the moisture content data were converted to moisture ratio (MR). The MR data were used to predict the drying kinetics of horseradish drying using five empirical models. The results indicated that drying kinetics followed the constant drying rate period and falling rate period for all three drying temperatures. The five tested models were able to predict the drying kinetics with R2 (0.96-0.99) and RMSE (0.01-0.06) depending on the models and blanching. However, diffusion approach model was the best fitted model securing the highest R2 and the lowest RMSE. The findings of this research are expected to be significantly important for horseradish drying effectively.
What makes a Cultural Heritage Expert?: Bridging the Gap between Higher Education and Professional Practice in Greece
Authors: Catapoti Despina , Andriopoulou Despina , Nikolaou Polina
Published: June 2020

Although the professional sector of heritage in Greece has experienced profound transformations, in recent years, due to the ongoing financial crisis, another key shift that calls for serious consideration is the (implicit and/or explicit) requirement for heritage professionals to manage a variety of tasks associated with different scientific fields. In the wake of these developments, Greek universities have begun to reconfigure their role in knowledge production. The article presents an in-depth examination of postgraduate programs in cultural heritage offered by Greek universities and how they relate to emerging agendas in the professional sector of heritage in Greece. This twofold investigation (a) demonstrates that most postgraduate programs currently put a surplus of emphasis on instrumentalism, professional experience, and the coverage of a wide range of module topics and (b) explains the reasons why this triad in academic education also forms the dominant vision for the heritage workforce of the twenty-first century.

Biogeochemical Approaches to Bioarchaeological Research in Turkey: A Review
Authors: Irvine Benjamin , Özdemir Kameray
Published: June 2020

Bone chemical composition (particularly utilizing isotopes) analysis was a relatively late bloomer, beginning in the early 2000s and only gathering pace in the last five to ten years. Trace element analysis had actually commenced in the 1980s, however, with a hiatus until its resurgence in the last decade. Currently, research into dietary habits, subsistence practices, and mobility has focused on early proto-sedentary and sedentary agricultural populations in Anatolia. This is starting to change now in conjunction with the realization of the importance of bioarchaeology as an encompassing field, providing a holistic approach to examining prehistoric populations. This article will discuss the valuable contribution of stable isotope and trace element analyses for better understanding past environmental adaptations by humans (dietary habits, subsistence practices, and mobility). It will also provide an overview of past and current bioarchaeology-focused biogeochemical research in Turkish archaeology, and how this field can be developed moving forward.
Problems of determination of MultiJet 3D
printing distortions using a 3D scanner
Authors: Nowacki J. , Sieczkiewicz N.
Published: June 2020

Purpose: Analysis and the review of 3D scanning methods, methods of combining 3D
scans and tables available on the market (rotary, tilt and turn) as non-destructive testing
systems of polymer materials. As the problem of deformation testing of elements produced
by 3D printing is relatively novel, so far a small number of publications on this subject have
been observed in terms of current solutions in the area of methodology and devices.
Design/methodology/approach: 3D print samples have been prepared using MultiJet
Printing (MJP), also called PolyJet Printing. The first sample was left in a UV oven and the
second one in a dark cabinet, without access to sunlight (standard conditions 23/50 as
described in ISO 554:1976). Non-contact structured blue light 3D metrology grade scanner
was used to capture the entire part geometry for inspection. A comparison of subsequent
scans after postcuring with reference scans after printing can indicate dimensional changes.
The resulting scans are detailed enough to monitor shape and size changes over time.
Findings: Universal 3D printing model beneficial in distortion analysis has been proposed.
The method of evaluating 3D print distortions was verified using a metrology class 3D
scanner. The results of this study show that deformations are declining through time to near
the same values, the only difference is the rate of change of dimensions.
Practical implications: Due to popularity and lower cost of polymer 3D printing, in
comparison to metal 3D printing, an initial attempt to analyse the distortion of the locally
melted substrate was done using MultiJet 3D printing with photopolymer material. The
universal 3D print test part was proposed for verification of 3D printing deformations. Finally,
the framework for the determination of 3D printing distortions is presented, taking into
account the influence of UV postcuring.
Originality/value: Analysis of a method to measure 3D printing distortions using a
metrology grade 3D scanner is presented in the paper. Recently, this matter is becoming
more and more important because many prototypes are increasingly produced by 3D
printing and 3D printing distortions may cause many difficulties during the manufacturing
and assembly process.
Design and comparative strength analysis
of wheel rims of a lightweight electric
vehicle using Al6063 T6 and Al5083
aluminium alloys
Authors: Korkut T.B. , Armakan E. , Ozaydin O. , Ozdemir K. , Goren A.
Published: June 2020

Purpose: Use of aluminium alloys in critical parts of a vehicle is common since they can
combine the two important properties of a material those are being strength and lightweight.
The aim in this research is to guide to design process of a wheel with taking example of an
electric race vehicle implementation.
Design/methodology/approach: In this study, the fatigue strengths of wheels produced
for a two-person racing electric vehicle (Demobil09) are evaluated by calculating maximum
distortion energy criterion (Von Mises) with Finite Element Analysis.
Findings: Aluminium alloy wheels are crucial safety related components and are subjected
to static and dynamic loads directly. Using FEA results, the weight and equivalent stress
of the wheel are both reduced. So, the energy consumption is also decreased. Modal
frequencies of the wheel models are determined.
Research limitations/implications: In this paper, the materials analysed are AL6063 T6
and Al5083 aluminium alloys. Different materials can be analysed in future works.
Practical implications: This paper is focusing on how to reduce the energy consumption
of a two-person electric vehicle concentrating on reducing the weight of vehicle wheels.
The vehicle is more technological than mass production cars since it is an electric race
car which uses a hub motor, the body and chassis are produced using carbon polymer
composites and all electronic units are designed and produced. Although its specialities it
has homologated safety equipment like seats and safety belts.
Originality/value: All boundary conditions must be analysed in details and a strength
analysis must be conducted during design of the wheels for different load cases to ensure
the strength of a wheel while keeping the weight as low as possible. In this complex process,
this paper can give some clues to designers for strengths and weights of the designs since
three different wheel forms are evaluated for reducing energy consumption of the vehicle.

management system
Authors: Kruzhilko O. , Maystrenko V. , Kalinchyk V. , Polukarov Y. , Mitiuk L. , Bilotserkivska N. , Borysova L. , Kachur T.
Published: June 2020

Purpose: Studying urgent problems in the OSH management field in the in European countries
to create effective information and analytical support for the OSH management system.
Design/methodology/approach: An analytical review of open sources, a comparative
analysis of the legislative framework of different countries and logical conclusions based
on existing opportunities at the current stage of development of the country were used to
study current problems in the field of labour protection management and find ways to create
effective information and analytical support. Improved IS "Vizit" was tested for 2018-2019:
to identify undeclared labour, the dynamics of various types of labour violations has been
studied; to predict the load of inspectors, the quarterly dynamics of inspection actions
was studied; the accumulated statistics were processed using multiple regressions; for 22
enterprises, employees of all levels were remotely trained in labour protection issues.
Findings: Information and analytical support for the OSH management system has been
developed. On the basis of indirect signs it allows to identify undeclared work cases, to
predict the labour inspectors’ inspection activities by quarters, to provide effective distance
learning of enterprise employees and labour inspectors. The distance learning system for
labour protection was tested at 22 enterprises: the head of the enterprise, the heads of
departments and employees of the enterprise passed the training. Since 2018 (start to use
of this information and analytical support), the dynamics of inspection actions and various
types of labour violations have been monitored.
Research limitations/implications: Information and analytical support was tested on
the example of Ukrainian labour legislation. However, it can be adapted to the legislation of
another country.
Practical implications: The proposed information and analytical support using indirect
evidences provides an opportunity to identify undeclared work and that significantly
reduces the inspection visits number in order to monitor and detect violations of the law;
makes it possible to predict the inspection activities and the workload of labour inspectors;
contributes to the organizations managers and employees’ effective training, and the
inspectors training remotely (and therefore is less costly).
Originality/value: A non-standard approach to the identification of undeclared work on
indirect grounds using information and analytical support for the OSH management system
is proposed.
Long-Term Treatment with Antithyroid Drugs: Efficacy and Safety
Authors: Malboosbaf Ramin , Azizi Fereidoun
Published: June 2020

Context: Medical therapy of hyperthyroidism has been the Astwood’s gift to medicine. However, controversy remains about its mechanisms of action, the ideal treatment duration, and its proper use in pregnancy. The concept that hyperthyroidism could be controlled ‘indefinitely’ with antithyroid drugs (ATDs) is also a topic of current debate. The purpose of this review was to highlight the pros and cons of long-term ATD therapy. Evidence Acquisition: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases were searched for retrieving studies conducted on long-term treatment with ATDs up to Jan 2020. The final selection of the papers was made based on their relevancy with the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with ATDs. Results: The main drawback of the ATD treatment is the high relapse rate after drug discontinuation. On the other hand, ATDs may have a favorable immunosuppressive effect, either primarily, in the diminution of thyroid-specific autoimmunity, or secondarily, as a result of controlling the hyperthyroid state, hence keeping patients in a euthyroid state for a prolonged period to diminish autoimmunity and hyperthyroid relapse. This often calls for long-term use of methimazole, but with the lowest possible dose to minimize the risk of side effects. Emerging evidence demonstrates that the long-term treatment with ATDs has relatively few adverse events, most of which arise within the starting months of treatment and in subjects on larger doses. Hence, once we have reached the end of a conventional course of ATD treatment (12 - 18 months), the hazard is eliminated, and adverse events are very rare to occur. Therefore, by continuing low-dose ATD, we could safely maintain the patient’s euthyroid status. Conclusions: Long-term ATD treatment is safe, especially at a low dose. It can be considered as the preferred treatment for selected hyperthyroid patients.

A comparison of the current care with the existing standards can lead to improved nursing care quality, increased patient safety, and reduced medical costs. Objectives: Therefore, the aim of this study was to audit the nursing care provided before angiography. Methods: In this analytical descriptive study, the nursing care provided to 400 patients undergoing coronary angiography was evaluated using the event-based sampling method in the angiography ward of hospitals affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected by a demographic form and a standard nursing care checklist. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (i.e., frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and analytical statistics (i.e., chi-square, independent t-test and analysis of variance) in SPSS 18 version. Results: Before angiography, nursing care compliance score was 51.63 ± 4.21, which was significantly different than the normal value (normal score: 61 - 81). At the preoperative stage, 25 (6.3%), 374 (93.5%), and 1 (3%) caring cases, the standard of nursing care was poor, moderate, and good, respectively. Conclusions: Based on our results, in one case, the provided nursing care was in accordance with the standard of nursing care at the preoperative stage of angiography, which can be attributed to the lack of education, control, facilities and awareness among nurses about the importance of standard care.

Background: Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are the most frequently accepted tool for the evaluation of comprehension, knowledge, and application among medical students. In single best response MCQs (items), a high order of cognition of students can be assessed. It is essential to develop valid and reliable MCQs, as flawed items will interfere with the unbiased assessment. The present paper gives an attempt to discuss the art of framing well-structured items taking kind help from the provided references. This article puts forth a practice for committed medical educators to uplift the skill of forming quality MCQs by enhanced Faculty Development programs (FDPs). Objectives: The objective of the study is also to test the quality of MCQs by item analysis. Methods: In this study, 100 MCQs of set I or set II were distributed to 200 MBBS students of Late Shri Lakhiram Agrawal Memorial Govt. Medical College Raigarh (CG) for item analysis for quality MCQs. Set I and Set II were MCQs which were formed by 60 medical faculty before and after FDP, respectively. All MCQs had a single stem with three wrong and one correct answers. The data were entered in Microsoft excel 2016 software to analyze. The difficulty index (Dif I), discrimination index (DI), and distractor efficiency (DE) were the item analysis parameters used to evaluate the impact on adhering to the guidelines for framing MCQs. Results: The mean calculated difficulty index, discrimination index, and distractor efficiency were 56.54%, 0.26, and 89.93%, respectively. Among 100 items, 14 items were of higher difficulty level (DIF I < 30%), 70 were of moderate category, and 16 items were of easy level (DIF I > 60%). A total of 10 items had very good DI (0.40), 32 had recommended values (0.30 - 0.39), and 25 were acceptable with changes (0.20 - 0.29). Of the 100 MCQs, there were 27 MCQs with DE of 66.66% and 11 MCQs with DE of 33.33%. Conclusions: In this study, higher cognitive-domain MCQs increased after training, recurrent-type MCQ decreased, and MCQ with item writing flaws reduced, therefore making our results much more statistically significant. We had nine MCQs that satisfied all the criteria of item analysis.

Background: Level of evidence (LoE) is a hierarchical system for classifying the quality of studies. Objectives: This study examined the factors affecting the number of citations to clinical articles related to the treatment of human diseases that have included the LoE in their abstracts. Methods: A total of 3,683 therapeutic articles published between 2011 and 2013 that mentioned the LoE in their abstract and were indexed in PubMed and Web of Science were retrieved. The LoE and type of study design were extracted from abstracts and other bibliographic and citation information was obtained from PubMed and Web of Science databases. Independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation test and linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between the variables. Results: Articles with level I evidence had the lowest frequency (290, 7.9%) and articles with level IV had the highest frequency (1,831, 49.7%). Five-year citations ranged from zero to 215, with a median of 13 citations. The median values of five-year citations from level I to level V were 20.5, 15, 14, 11, and 6 citations, respectively. Evaluation of the models to examine the factors affecting the number of citations showed that the change of evidence-level from level I to V reduced the number of citations (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Journal Impact Factor, LoE, number of references, number of authors, number of title words, number of pages, article type and subject category accounted for about 25% of the variation in five-year citations of clinical papers. Clinical papers with high LoE (levels I & II) received more citations over a five-year period than those with lower LoE (levels III & IV).

Context: Sepsis is one of the most common causes of neonatal mortality, especially in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the bacterial causative agents of neonatal sepsis and their antibiotic susceptibility in Iran. Material and Methods: We searched all previously published papers to gather related information on Iranian neonatal sepsis in international and national databases (in both Persian and English) from 2006 to 2018. The standard STROBE checklist was used for quality assessment. The data were analyzed by statistical methods with a random-effects model using Stata 14 software. Results: A total of 89,472 neonates with sepsis (presented in 17 studies) were included in this systematic review. The mortality rate of neonates was 28.0%. The proportions of neonatal sepsis caused by Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were 66.0% and 33.0%, respectively. The most common bacteria causing neonatal sepsis were Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative) and coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive). Conclusions: Gram-negative bacteria are the most common causes of neonatal sepsis in Iran. Imipenem is the most effective antibiotic against Gram-negative bacilli and vancomycin against Gram-positive cocci causing neonatal sepsis in Iran.

Fruiting of Rowan varieties in the Mari El Republic
Authors: Mukhametova Svetlana Valer'evna
Published: June 2020

Among fruit crops, Rowan is one of the most winter-hardy. In Russia, the predominant varieties are those derived from Sorbus aucuparia. Rowan fruits are used in fresh and dried form, they are valuable in food, dietary, and medicinal terms. The objects of this study were 7 Rowan varieties in the exposition «Wild fruit plants» of the Botanical garden-Institute of Volga State University of Technology (Yoshkar-Ola, Mari El Republic). The research was conducted in 2014–2019. The fruits were collected in the mass maturation phase and weighed in 3 samples of 100 pieces. The yield of air-dry fruits, expressed as a percentage, was obtained by the ratio of the mass of dried fruits to the mass of freshly harvested ones. It was found that the varieties ‘Alaya Krupnaya’, ‘Titan’, ‘Granatnaya’, and ‘Burka’ are characterized by large fruits. ‘Desertnaya Michurina’, ‘Nevezhinskaya’, and ‘Doch Kubovoy’ are small-fruited varieties. The most favorable for fruiting of most varieties were 2016 and 2019 with dry conditions of the growing season. Excessively moistened conditions in 2017 negatively affected the formation of Rowan fruits. The yield of air-dry raw materials was inversely correlated with the weight of fruits. The obtained data can be used in the organization of plantation cultivation of Rowan varieties in the conditions of the Volga-Vyatka region.
