Authors: Nikitochkina Iryna
Published: December 2017

We constantly assess other people, objects, phenomena, and events around us. The process of evaluation is based on a set of values pertaining to an individual and on certain norms and traditions of the society. The use of certain language means expressing people’s attitudes may shed light on such complex cognitive process. Evaluative adjectives are frequently used and form an integral part of the world view in conceptual and language aspects. The present paper provides the results of syntactic, semantic, functional and pragmatic peculiarities of evaluative adjectives in fiction.

SATISFACTION OF PATIENTS WITH FIRST MEDICAL CARE: CROSS-SECTION STUDY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF CITY KYIV)
Authors: Pariy Valentin , Korotkyi Oleksandr
Published: December 2017

After reorganization of ambulatory-polyclinic net of medical institutions in city Kyiv in 2013 and creation of centers of first medical care (FMC), the necessity in monitoring of patients’ satisfaction with received first medical care appeared.

Aim. To estimate satisfaction of patients of FMC Centers of city Kyiv with received first medical care, to compare it with patients’ satisfaction in rural area of Ukraine and in European Union countries.

Materials and methods. The cross-section study was realized in FMC centers of city Kyiv during 6 months of 2017 year. In total 397 persons, 18 years old and more, who addressed to doctors of the first link during no less than one year, were selected for the study. The used EUROPEP instrument, the questionnaire, consists of 23 questions with their possible assessment by Likert five-point scale and includes the following aspects: doctor-patient-relationship, assessment of direct medical care, information and support of a patient by a doctor, organization aspects of care, its accessibility. The internal succession of the questionnaire Cronbach's alpha was estimated, and its reliability was checked. Main indices of research results were mean EUROPEP indices (minimum 1, maximum 5).

Results. The study has established, that satisfaction of Ukrainian patients with FMC (index - 75,5 %) is statistically reliably lower than indices of European Union countries. In average, only 37,16 % of respondents estimated the level of received FMC as “perfect” and correspondingly 38,35 % of patients as “good”. There were revealed problems with an access to medical care, namely: “Time of waiting for a consultation near a cabinet” received the least mark (3,29 and 45,59 % respectively), “Possibility of registration for consultation by phone” is also low (3,47 and 59,95 % respectively). Problems in communications, the low level of trust and doctor’s authority were revealed in the decreased index “Doctor’s help in fighting against negative emotions, connected with your health status” (3,72 and 56,17 % respectively). There was studied, that in Ukraine satisfaction of patients, who live in rural area, is statistically reliably lower than Kyiv indices.

Conclusion. The study of satisfaction of patients with received FMC revealed imperfection of the existing system of first medical care. The research results may be used at elaborating new functional-organizational model of activity of first medical care, including patients’ satisfaction as an important component in the integrative dimension of the medical help quality.
EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONAL CONDITION OF RESPIRATORY MUSCLES OF PATIENTS WITH A COMPLICATED BRONCHIAL ASTHMA PATHOLOGY AND CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASES
Authors: Feschenko Yuriy , Nazarenko Ksenia
Published: December 2017

The aim of the research was to study the functional state of respiratory muscles and neuro-respiratory drive in patients with a combined pathology of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The functional condition of the respiratory muscles and the tone of the respiratory centre were determined with the help of a device for occlusion spirometry. Also, the patient was observed with a spirometry, a general plethysmography of the body.

Materials and methods.

140 patients with combined broncho-obstructive pathology, 34 patients with asthma and 17 patients with COPD were examined. Spirometry, general plethysmography of the body and occlusion spirometry were provided for all patients.

Results show a decrease in muscle strength of breath in all categories of patients with broncho-obstructive diseases, especially expressed in patients with bronchial asthma and asthma-COPD intersection. The muscle strength of breath was maintained with a significant increase in COPD patients compared with those with bronchial asthma. With increasing broncho-obstruction in patients with asthma-COPD intersection, there was a progressive and reliable decrease in muscle strength for breath and expiration, as well as a tendency to increase neuron respiratory drive. In patients with asthma-COPD intersection with more expressed symptoms revealed a significant and reliable weakening of muscle strength for breath and increased neuro-respiratory drive. During the work were obtained reliable links of the parameters of respiratory muscle strength not only with the parameters of pulmonary volume and bronchial patency, but also with the degree of neutrophilic inflammation in this category of patients.

Conclusions The obtained data on failure of the functional state of the respiratory muscles and the neuro-respiratory drive can be used in the development of rehabilitation programs for the management of patients with combined broncho-obstructive pathology.
RESULTS OF SURGICAL MANAGMENT OF PRIMARY MITRAL REGURGITATION IN A SINGLE-CENTER STUDY
Authors: Myshakivskyy Oleksiy
Published: December 2017

Mitral regurgitation (MR) remains the second dominant defect in the structure of valvular cardiac diseases.

It affects more than 2 million people in the USA. Basic causes are classified as degenerative (with valve prolapse) and ischemic (due to ischemic heart disease) in advanced countries or rheumatic ones (in developing countries).

Alone radical method of MR treatment is surgical correction through mitral valve repair (MVRe) or replacement (MVR) yielding definitely higher survival percentage and improvement of heart failure (HF) class comparing to pharmacotherapy.

Evolution of approaches to the management of non-ischemic MR passed through some stages starting from predominantly MVR to organ-preserving approaches like plastic repair.

In the prospective single-center study were analyzed the results of treatment of 72 patients with primary MR (PMR) who were subjected to mitral valve replacement (MVR) or plastic mitral valve repair (MVRe) performed in the Department of cardiac surgery affiliated with Lviv regional clinical hospital (Ukraine) since October, 2013 till February, 2016.

The conclusions of performed study are next:

1) Key direct cause of MR is the chordal rupture of MV cusps; etiological factor in the majority of advanced countries is degenerative changes in contrast to rheumatic changes in the developing countries.

2) Principal method of MR surgical correction in out center is MVR, though the preferable global trend is MVRe.

3) Complications and lethality percentages in this study were higher among the patients from MVR group. Improvement of HF class according to NYHA was more evident in the MVRe group.

This corresponds to results of other studies and guidelines that recommend MVRe as optional method for MR correction.

NEW WAYS OF DESIGNING SUPER STRONG MATERIALS BASED ON USE OF ALLOYED LOW HARDENABILITY STEELS
Authors: Kobasko Nikolai
Published: December 2017

Currently, metallurgists are trying to improve mechanical properties of steel by increasing alloy elements in it that require slow cooling in oils or high concentration of water polymers solutions. The paper discusses opposite way in increasing service life of machine components by cardinal decrease alloy elements in steel and providing intensive cooling in locally agitated plain water performed by moving sprayers. The proposed new approach is based on two fundamental phenomena which include creation of high surface compressive residual stresses after quenching and obtaining super - strengthened material in surface layers after intensive cooling. These two factors compensate decrease alloy elements in steel. The paper provides methodology of calculation for achieving maximal effect in residual surface compressive stress formation and super- strengthening of material depending on martensite finish temperature of steel. Effectiveness and benefits are considerable due to saving alloy elements, energy and increasing service life of products. A team of Ukrainian leading specialists is organized to design appropriate software for governing and optimizing hardening processes with the aim of achieving above benefits and make environment clean. New steel and technology of hardening is based on UA Patents No. 109577 and No. 114174
PLASMA TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PROTECTION OF RADIO ELECTRONIC MEANS FROM EXPOSURE TO HIGH–POWER ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATIONS WITH ULTRASHORT PULSE DURATION
Authors: Iasechko Maksym
Published: December 2017

The urgency of the improvement of methods and means of protection of radio electronic means (REM) due to the development and application of high–power electromagnetic radiation (EMR) generators with ultrashort pulses duration (UPD) is substantiated. It is pointed out that it is possible to solve the problem of REM protection by the complex application of plasma technologies using gaseous and modified solid–state media. By analyzing the known achievements in the field of developing effective methods and creating protection facilities for REM, a number of unresolved problems in the field of creation of plasma protection technologies have been determined. The technique of solving the formulated problems is presented and the main relations are obtained to determine the expediency of using the proposed technology in the interests of the REM integrated protection from the powerful EMR UPD. A relation is made for the breakdown criterion in a gaseous plasma medium that relates the value of the breakdown field to the concentration of charged particles determined by the ionization source. The structure of a solid–state plasma medium is described, which can be used as a protective shield. The order of finding the REM screening coefficient is shown, based on the determination of the distribution function of charged particles for finding the main macroscopic properties of plasma by solving the kinetic equation of the Lenard–Balescu equation. A relation is given for the damping coefficient of an electromagnetic wave in solid–state plasma. Numerical estimates are presented in the form of graphs showing the possibility of using plasma technology to protect the REM from a powerful EMR through possible channels of penetration. The discussion of the obtained results is presented and it is indicated on the possibility and prospects of using the proposed technology for REM protection, especially with limitations on the weight dimensions of protection devices
PERSPECTIVES OF THE USE OF MODERN BUILDING MATERIALS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Kariuk Alla , Yurko Ilona
Published: December 2017

The authors analyzed the foreign experience of using keyed joints in reinforced concrete span structures of bridges. Fiber concrete with polypropylene fibers was chosen as the investigated material. Such fibers are chemically neutral, water-resistant, have a high resistance to dynamic loads, reduce the risk of formation and development of cracking, increase abrasion what is important in the manufacture of road construction. Optimization of concrete composition with polypropylene fibers for concreting joints by physical and mechanical parameters was carried out. Parameters of optimization were compressive strength, tensile strength at bending, axial tensile strength, prism strength and abrasion. The authors performed a series of tests to study the behavior of fiber concrete in keyed joints. The analysis of obtained results out depending on the nature of failure, the value of the ultimate load and fiber concrete deformations were carried out. The influence on the joints strength of the cross-section reinforcement percentage and the nature of placement of the reinforcing rods was considered. It was established if to place a cross-reinforcement in two levels it increases the strength of joints in comparison with a single level with the same percentage of reinforcement. It was noted that the fracture of all samples occurred from the sear key. Cracking of fiber concrete experimental samples occurred at later stages of loading compared with samples of ordinary concrete, and the fracture was not brittle, without tearing off parts of concrete. Increase in strength is due to the chaotic placement of polypropylene fibers in concrete, and therefore, to remove fibers from concrete, it is necessary to spend more energy, which ultimately leads to an increase in strength of joint. Experimental data suggest possibility and feasibility of polypropylene fibers in concrete joints in precast concrete structures of bridges
INVESTIGATION OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY AND PROVISION OF THE PERFORMANCE RELIABILITY OF THE TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
Authors: Markul Ruslan , Kovalchuk Vitalii
Published: December 2017

In the track facilities over the past decade, the polygon for laying reinforced concrete crossties has significantly expanded for many reasons. The main ones are the shortage of wooden crossties, their high cost and low life. Due to frequent crossovers, the service life of wooden crossties in the curved sections of the track R≤350 m is only 7 years. This is 5 times less than the life of reinforced concrete crossties. In the curves R≤350 m under the action of the rolling stock, an intensive accumulation of residual deformations occurs, which causes a violation of the track geometry in the plan. Simultaneously, the stability of the assembled rails and crossties in the transverse plane decreases. Given the shortcomings of the railway track on wooden crossties, a study is conducted to solve the problems of geometry, and the stability of the track in the transverse horizontal plane. To achieve this, the design of the fastener assembly KПП–5 (SB–3) has been improved, which makes it reliable and adjustable in all respects for 800 1000 million of tons of bruto. In order to ensure the stability of the track, an anchor crosstie structure has been created which can increase the resistance to transverse displacement of the assembled rails and crossties more than 2 times. The developed and justified measures will allow to create a highly efficient construction of a seamless track with reinforced concrete crossties and КПП–5 (SB–3) fastener for curved sections with a radius of 350 ÷ 200 m. When considering these proposals with the possibility of practical use, it becomes possible to introduce a safe and reliable design of continuous welded rail track with КПП–5 fastener assembly in difficult operating conditions
A practical study on evaluation of sales and service potential in distributing the industrial products (case study: regions in Ukraine)
Authors: Bilovodska Olena , Gryshchenko Olena
Published: December 2017

The article covers the study of sales and service potential of Ukrainian regions in distributing the industrial products. Using the data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the statistical analysis of key indicators of sales and service potential is provided. The analysis of indicators’ dynamics in 2010–2015 shows the stability or insignificant increase in almost all regions. Based on ranking results of Ukrainian regions for sales and service potential, the five-zone matrix of potential is formed. The evaluations show that Kyiv (city), Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions can be defined as leaders, and Chernivtsi and Ternopil regions can be defined as outsiders. High concentration of regions in pessimistic zones of the five-zone matrix of potential indicates the crisis processes in the country. This also defines the high degree of regional disparities and contradictions in service and sales activities in Ukraine.
Groundwater arsenic in Bangladesh: what's new for policy research?
Authors: Balasubramanya Soumya , Horbulyk Theodore M.
Published: December 2017

This paper provides an overview of policy responses to arsenic in groundwater in rural Bangladesh to assess their role and potential effectiveness in reducing exposure. With 97% of the country consuming groundwater for drinking, there is a continuing crisis of tens of millions of people exposed to elevated levels of arsenic. An examination of the number of people protected through two major remediation efforts suggests that recent progress may not be sufficient to keep up with the increasing population or to resolve the crisis during this century. Recent developments in remedial options are examined to identify their potential role in an evolving policy and research agenda. There appears to be growing agreement about future research and policy responses that can scale remedial options and make them widely accessible. These include: (1) the need for a reliable and affordable programme of arsenic testing and retesting; (2) attention to risks from other soluble contaminants and pathogens; (3) explicit priority setting across locations, time and to address fairness; and (4) development of value chains to ensure remedial options are supported over time.

Introduction:

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is caused by Ebola virus, which is often accompanied by fatal hemorrhagic fever upon infection in humans. This virus has caused the majority of deaths in human. There are no proper vaccinations and medications available for EVD. It is pivoting the attraction of scientist to develop the potent vaccination or novel lead to inhibit Ebola virus.

Methods & Materials:

In the present study, we developed 3D-QSAR and the pharmacophoric model from the previous reported potent compounds for the Ebola virus.

Results & Discussion:

Results & Discussion: The pharmacophoric model AAAP.116 was generated with better survival value and selectivity. Moreover, the 3D-QSAR model also showed the best r2 value 0.99 using PLS factor. Thereby, we found the higher F value, which demonstrated the statistical significance of both the models. Furthermore, homological modeling and molecular docking study were performed to analyze the affinity of the potent lead. This showed the best binding energy and bond formation with targeted protein.

Conclusion:

Finally, all the results of this study concluded that 3D-QSAR and Pharmacophore models may be helpful to search potent lead for EVD treatment in future.

Published: December 2017

Language is a human system of communication that uses arbitrary signal such as voice sounds, gestures and or written symbols. Language acquisition refers to the way the child acquires or learns a language. It is a hierarchical process which has specific age for achieving each process. Syntax, a component of language is defined as the study of principles and process by which sentences are constructed in particular languages. Understanding language development and syntax levels helps us determine the child’s language adequacy. Solid syntactic skills require an understanding and use of correct word order and organisation in phrases and sentences with appropriate morphosyntactic operations. The morpho syntactical language includes plural markers, case markers, PNG markers etc. the study focuses on development of PNG markers among children who are native speakers of Hindi language. The study highlights the need to carry out more research in this area for better understanding of language acquisition among these children in order to develop both assessments and intervention programmes. Presently, the lack of acquisition data has hinged the development of any standardized tests in Hindi. Thereby, the study aims to explore PNG markers in Hindi speaking typically developing children with the objective of analysing the data of among these children across 4 to 6yrs. The results show that most of these markers developed by 4years of age. Most importantly as age increased these markers also increased. By 6 years of age most of these markers developed completely. The study also discusses various studies supporting the results.

Published: December 2017

Introduction. For decades, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been the gold
standard in surgical treatment of patients with cholelithiasis all over the
world. The main advantage of this approach is that it is a minimally invasive
procedure for patients. Although this method is a routine in our country,
there are certain cases where the presumed outcome of minimally invasive
procedure is not achieved, and the surgery is converted to open surgery, or a
subsequent laparoscopic surgery is performed, in order to deal with the
complications. The aim of this study was to establish if it was possible to
create a model for preoperative prediction of difficult laparoscopic
cholecystectomies. Material and Methods. Two groups of patients were
analyzed. Group A included patients with cholelithiasis who were studied in
order to determine parameters associated with difficult laparoscopic
cholecystectomies. Out of 16 analyzed parameters, 8 showed significant
correlation with difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Based on these
parameters, a prediction model was established, consisting of five groups: I
- easy (score 1), II - laparoscopic cholecystectomy with mild difficulties
(score 2), III - laparoscopic cholecystectomy with major difficulties (score
3), IV - difficult (score 4), V - conversion to open surgery is expected
(score 5). This model was preoperatively applied in patients with
cholelithiasis included in group B. Results. The overall predictability of
the model was 82%. The greatest prediction accuracy was achieved in groups II
and III (98.3% and 100%, respectively). Conversion to open cholecystectomy
was predicted in 76% of patients. Conclusion. Based on certain preoperative
parameters it is possible to establish a model to predict a difficult
laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
La construcción simbólica del republicanismo español en el Sexenio Democrático
Authors: Sánchez Collantes Sergio
Published: December 2017

Tras la revolución de 1868, se produce en España una rica eclosión de símbolos republicanos que alimentarán el discurso visual de un proyecto nacional alternativo y, tras ser interiorizados por muchos hombres y mujeres, calarán en el imaginario popular. El gorro frigio, las alegorías femeninas, las banderas —tricolores o no— y los cánticos patrióticos son los elementos más visibles de este universo de patente impronta francesa que se manifestó profusamente a través de distintos canales y soportes. Durante la breve República de 1873, sin embargo, no llegó a completarse su institucionalización. Aquí se examinan las formas de difusión de esos símbolos, el papel que desempeñaron en la socialización política, los inicios de su mercantilización y su limitado uso oficial.
Las Tertulias Progresistas: un modelo de sociabilidad política en el Sexenio Democrático (1868-1874)
Authors: Higueras Castañeda Eduardo
Published: December 2017

El artículo persigue analizar la trayectoria política de la cultura progresista a través de sus principales espacios de sociabilidad. A mediados de la década de 1860, en numerosas poblaciones españolas se extendieron las tertulias progresistas, nombre que adoptaban los espacios de solidaridad partidaria de una agrupación que canalizaba los parámetros de la cultura liberal avanzada. Todas ellas seguían las pautas del modelo que representaba la Tertulia Progresista de Madrid. La actividad de esos mismos centros permite, por otra parte, observar la progresiva democratización de esa agrupación, que terminaría experimentando una síntesis entre liberalismo y democracia a la altura del Sexenio Democrático (1868-1874)
Tratamiento de las asimetrías en tratados de libre comercio entre países con distinto nivel de desarrollo
Authors: Halperin Marcelo
Published: December 2017

En principio el trabajo se basa en observaciones metodológicas efectuadas a propósito de las tratativas que distintos países latinoamericanos y caribeños han venido realizando para formalizar acuerdos de libre comercio de última generación con países desarrollados y, en especial, con la Unión Europea. En tal sentido, resalta el tipo de intervención tanto de los equipos técnicos como de los negociadores que, abocados a la difícil tarea de concertar cláusulas destinadas a reducir asimetrías, suelen incurrir en prejuzgamientos y consiguientes planteos que, por su rigidez, terminan siendo contraproducentes para los intereses legítimos que intentan sostener. El documento puntualiza distintas disposiciones que, a juicio del autor, deberían ser incluidas en dichos acuerdos a fin de conciliar los términos de reciprocidad con las condiciones y necesidades propias de los países en desarrollo, incorporando a la normativa un trato especial y diferenciado que, en diferentes áreas, permita un mejor aprovechamiento de la materia negociada
Effects of milk and fruit consumption on Crohn's disease: a systematic review.
Authors: Mangas Borrego María Isabel
Published: December 2017

Abstract Introduction: There are currently many studies that discuss possible relationships among the diet, the etiology of Crohn's disease and the possible improvement or worsening of its symptoms. Most of them are based on surveys that describe the dietary patterns adopted by these patients. Objectives: The present review will address quantitative studies comparing the consumption of certain foods (milk and fruits) by subjects diagnosed with Crohn's disease and healthy subjects. On the other hand, it will also address studies of patients who exclude these foods from their diets because they associate them with worsening symptoms of the disease. Methodology: This systematic review was elaborated following the PRISMA guidelines. Six studies that analyze the selected subject matter were selected. Results: The two foods selected for study are very often present in articles that relate diet and Crohn's disease, and both are considered by patients to be influential in the evolution of their pathology. Conclusions: Each study presents different results; thus, to date, there is no consensus on the best diet to follow in inflammatory bowel disease. Of course, it has not been sufficiently demonstrated that the consumption of certain foods causes or worsens the development of this disease. Therefore, further investigations are necessary.

La dieta mediterránea es considerada un modelo de alimentación saludable debido a los múltiples beneficios que representa. El objetivo fue determinar la influencia del lugar de residencia en el patrón dietético, así como la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea en estudiantes de Cáceres. El estudio fue llevado a cabo en 171 estudiantes del grado de enfermería de la Facultad de Enfermería y Terapia Ocupacional de Cáceres. Tanto el lugar de residencia como la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea se establecieron utilizando el índice Kidmed. El 75.4% de los estudiantes que vivían en su residencia familiar consumía una pieza de fruta todos los días, mientras que solo el 48.2% de los estudiantes universitarios que compartían apartamento lo hacía. La ingesta diaria de más de una fruta y hortalizas frescas o cocidas fue similar en ambos grupos. Se observaron diferencias significativas en la puntuación total del índice Kidmed entre los grupos. Los estudiantes que viven en la residencia de su familia consumen más frutas y verduras, lo que resulta en un estilo de vida más saludable. El nivel de adherencia a la dieta mediterránea fue similar en ambos grupos. Sin embargo, se observaron puntuaciones totales más bajas en el grupo de estudiantes que compartían apartamento.

Yo soy Egipto. El poder y la seducción de Cleopatra en las artes plásticas y en el cine
Authors: Ruiz Garrido Belén
Published: December 2017

La figura de Cleopatra ocupa un lugar preferente dentro del universo iconográfico femenino. En la creación del mito, cuya imagen histórica aparece teñida de una buena dosis de leyenda, han participado activamente los artistas a través de la proyección de sus miradas. La soberana de Egipto ofrece los ingredientes más sabrosos para inspirar y alimentar las inquietudes, deseos y sueños masculinos. Desde esta perspectiva, el ejercicio del poder por parte de una mujer no podía entenderse sin la utilización consciente de los componentes estereotipados de la feminidad. Cleopatra, como portadora de una rara y exótica belleza, de un desenfrenado apetito sexual y de pasiones extremas, se convierte en la reina de la seducción que arrastra, arrasa y, finalmente, lleva a la muerte. El país del Nilo brinda, además, el escenario perfecto para los gustadores de lo exótico. El presente trabajo aborda las posibilidades estéticas y expresivas del mito a través de una selección de la producción plástica y cinematográfica más significativa.

En un contexto social y académico de preocupación por la escasez de los recursos hídricos, y de interés por la conservación del patrimonio etnográfico, el artículo aborda la relación entre sociedad y agua en la montaña mediterránea, en el ámbito de los Montes de Málaga. Para ello, se ha analizado la relación entre los recursos hídricos existentes y los sistemas adoptados para su aprovechamiento en el hábitat disperso tradicional. Los recursos hídricos de los Montes de Málaga, más que escasos, están marcados por un fuerte contrasteestacional y por un superávit creciente con la altitud. Con respecto a los sistemas hidráulicos, las estrategias de aprovisionamiento de agua (pozos y minas), conducción (canalizaciones de barro, atarjeas, alcubillas) y almacenamiento de agua (albercas y aljibes), indican la continuidad de los sistemas andalusíes, pese a los intensos cambios culturales y socioeconómicos ocurridos entre la instauración de aquellos y el contexto de este hábitat disperso (s. XIX-XX).

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a key target in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Principal role of AChE hydrolyzes the neurotransmiter acetylcholine. Medicinal plants are the potential source of AChE inhibitors. In this study, we studied the AChE inhibitory activities of extraction  Mahonia nepalensis. This medicianl plant was extracted with ethanol 96% and subsequently fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOA) and n-butanol (n-BuOH) solvents. These fractions were evaluated the AChE inhibitory activity by Ellman’s colorimetric method.  Results showed that n-BuOH fraction had the strongest AChE inhibitory activity, followed by EtOH extract and the EtOAc fraction was the weakest. The n-BuOH fraction inhibited AChE activity in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 3.38 ± 0.07 μg/mL. Detailed kinetic analysis indicated that n-BuOH fraction was mixed inhibiton type with Ki value of 3.416 ± 0.05 µg/mL. Our  data suggests that  the  Mahonia nepalensis may be  a  promising  source  of  AChE  inhibitors  for Alzheimer’s disease.

Addressing Intervention Fidelity Within Physical Therapy Research and Clinical Practice
Authors: Toomey Elaine , Hardeman Wendy
Published: December 2017

Intervention fidelity is a key component of the design and conduct of physical therapy research, defined as “the methodological strategies used to enhance and monitor the reliability and validity of behavioral interventions.” This includes enhancing and assessing the extent to which an intervention is implemented as intended by its developers, including how they envisage the participants or patients to interact with the intervention. The authors of this Viewpoint focus predominantly on the fidelity of intervention delivery; highlight the importance of intervention fidelity for the physical therapy profession and its relevance for both physical therapy researchers and practitioners; and explore potential barriers to enhancing and assessing the fidelity of intervention delivery in physical therapy research.

La libertad en el rock-pop argentino una representación de aislamiento y escape
Authors: Secul Giusti Cristian
Published: December 2017

El presente artículo se desprende de una producción de análisis discursivo que propone, desde las coordenadas de una tesis doctoral, un estudio de la construcción discursiva de la libertad presente en las líricas del rock-pop argentino del período 1982-1989, desde la finalización de la guerra de Malvinas hasta la renuncia del expresidente Raúl Alfonsín en 1989. A estos efectos, la construcción de la libertad en las líricas es entendida como una temática de discusiones diversas: 1) se habla de liberación en relación con la retirada militar; 2) se presenta un abordaje lúdico de la vida, y 3) se advierte una manifestación individual en un marco de convivencia democrática. Al respecto, en este escrito se hará hincapié en la última referencia, a partir de la exposición analítica de cuatro líricas que permitirán comprender dos posturas relevantes: la perspectiva escapista y la observación aislada de lo real y libertario.
