Prinsip Proteksi Sel Otot Jantung dalam Mesin Pintas Jantung Paru pada Prosedur Pembedahan Jantung Terbuka
Authors: Indrasutanto Teddy Ferdinand , Boom Cindy Elfira
Published: March 2019

Penyakit jantung koroner merupakan penyebab nomer satu kematian secara global. Diperkirakan 17,1 juta penduduk dunia meninggal karena penyakit jantung koroner pada tahun 2004, yaitu 29% dari seluruh kematian. Standar baku emas untuk memulihkan pasien dari penyakit jantung koroner adalah pembedahan coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Pembedahan CABG dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan mesin pintas jantung paru dan jantung dihentikan selama prosedur pembedahan. Penggunaan mesin pintas jantung paru dan proses henti jantung dapat menimbulkan cedera pada sel otot jantung. Oleh karena itu perlu pemahaman yang baik terhadap fungsi jantung selama prosedur henti jantung dan sirkulasi darah digantikan oleh mesin pintas jantung paru, terutama dalam hal proteksi miokard. Tujuan dari proteksi miokard selama pembedahan jantung adalah untuk menghindari cedera akibat pemakaian mesin pintas jantung paru dan iskemia akibat pembedahan. Salah satu strategi proteksi miokard adalah menggunakan kardioplegia. Kardioplegia dapat membantu menghentikan jantung sekaligus memberikan nutrisi ke sel otot jantung sehingga mengurangi dampak iskemia pada sel otot jantung. Strategi proteksi miokard yang lain dapat dicapai dengan teknik hipotermia, prekondisi iskemia, prekondisi anestesia dengan penggunaan gas anestesi dan obat anestesi intravena. Hingga saat ini penelitian mengenai proteksi miokard selama prosedur pembedahan jantung yang menggunakan mesin pintas jantung paru masih belum menemukan strategi terbaik. Kedepannya masih perlu banyak penelitian lagi yang dikembangkan, terutama pada fisiologi molekuler dari sel otot jantung, dalam rangka mendapatkan hasil proteksi miokard yang paling baik dan dapat diandalkan.
On Three Standard Results in the Theory of Insurance Demand
Authors: Hong Liang
Published: March 2019

This article re-examines three standard results in the theory of insurance demand: (i) full coverage with a fair premium and partial coverage with an unfair premium; (ii) insurance is an inferior good under decreasing absolute risk aversion (DARA) and (iii) insurance may be a Giffen good under DARA. It has been shown recently that (i) holds for the class of insurance policies in which maximum coverage fully covers the potential loss. We show that whether (i) holds beyond this class of policies is indeterminate. In addition, we employ a unified framework to investigate the effects of changes in initial wealth and price. In particular, we show that both (ii) and (iii) hold for a certain class of insurance policies which include all commonly-used types of policies. The result also provides a unified treatment of several results in the extant literature.

Published: March 2019

Phycocyanin is a natural substance that can be used as an antioxidant and food colorant. The quality of phycocyanin deteriorates when it is exposed to heat, and such deterioration is evidenced by decreases in its antioxidant activity and color. Encapsulation, which introduces a coating material over a substance of interest, has been applied to prevent changes in substance quality. The objective of the present research is to evaluate the kinetics of thermal degradation of phycocyanin coated with carrageenan or chitosan. Encapsulated phycocyanin samples were exposed to temperatures of 40, 50, or 60 °C for 90 min, and kinetics of the resulting degradation was evaluated to determine changes in sample quality. The results showed that the thermal degradation of encapsulated phycocyanin at 40–60 °C follows first-order reaction kinetics with reaction rate constants (k) of 4.67–9.17 × 10–5 s-1 and 3.83–7.67 × 10–5 s-1 for carrageenan and chitosan, respectively, and that the k of encapsulated phycocyanin is slower than that obtained from samples without the coating materials (control). Encapsulation efficiencies (EE) of 68.66 % and 76.45 %, as well as loading capacities of 45.28 % and 49.16 %, were, respectively, obtained for carrageenan and chitosan.
Morbidity and long-term survival in patients with cervical re-exploration for papillary thyroid carcinoma
Authors: Baerbock Nenia , Mittelstädt Anke , Jähne Joachim
Published: March 2019

Background

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has a favorable prognosis following one-stage surgical therapy, whereas two-stage resections bear the risk of increased morbidity and possibly impaired prognosis. To further elucidate the value of surgical re-exploration in PTC, a retrospective study was performed.

Methods

The study involved 187 patients with PTC who underwent total thyroidectomy with central lymph node dissection between 2001 and 2011. The number of two-stage surgeries, the rates of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (RLNP) as well as hypocalcemia, and the long-term survival were assessed.

Results

Two-stage surgeries were performed in 43%. No statistically significant difference was seen between the one- and two-stage resection groups regarding the rate of RLNP (transient 5.6% vs. 6.3%, permanent 2.6% vs. 0%) nor for hypocalcemia (transient 25.2% vs. 18.8%, permanent 14.0% vs. 22.5%). The 10-year recurrence-free survival was 95.5% and the 10-year disease-specific survival was 98.9% with no difference between groups.

Conclusion

Even though two-stage surgeries do not lead to a higher incidence of RLNP and hypocalcemia, optimal preoperative and intraoperative diagnostics have to be carried out to reduce the amount of completion surgeries.
A Hybrid Hierarchical Framework Toward Security Effectiveness for Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resiliency: A Hospital Case Study
Authors: White Latechia , Eveleigh Timothy , Bereket Tanju
Published: March 2019

A successful Denial of Service attack on a CI can indirectly have devastating and irreversible effects to those that depend on its services. Furthermore, recent disruptions have raised concerns regarding the resiliency, security effectiveness and emergency preparedness of CIs and dependent resources. To address the persistent challenge of protecting CIs and maintaining the essential services they provide, this research offers emergency management personnel a conceptual framework to evaluate security effectiveness and estimate the cascading effects that may result from inadequate security measures. We combine the philosophy of multi-dimensional modeling, with the statistical engine of Bayesian Belief Networks to provide proactive, scenario-based interdependency analysis for CI protection and resiliency. The findings of this research resulted in a multi-dimensional approach that enables a heightened awareness of one’s risk-posture by highlighting the existence (strength) or absence (weakness) of relevant security factors. Through stakeholder risk-assessment, preemptive implementation of threat mitigation plans for dependent resources are permissible. Specifically, we provide this proof of concept, “what-if” analysis tool to assist in the reduction of vulnerabilities. To illustrate the conceptual framework, we provide a Healthcare and Public Health sector case study that evaluates the impact to a hospital patient given a successful DoS attack on a CI.
Proximal Support Vector Machine-Based Hybrid Approach for Edge Detection in Noisy Images
Authors: Jain Subit K. , Kumar Deepak , Thakur Manoj , Ray Rajendra K.
Published: March 2019

We propose a novel edge detector in the presence of Gaussian noise with the use of proximal support vector machine (PSVM). The edges of a noisy image are detected using a two-stage architecture: smoothing of image is first performed using regularized anisotropic diffusion, followed by the classification using PSVM, termed as regularized anisotropic diffusion-based PSVM (RAD-PSVM) method. In this process, a feature vector is formed for a pixel using the denoised coefficient’s class and the local orientations to detect edges in all possible directions in images. From the experiments, conducted on both synthetic and benchmark images, it is observed that our RAD-PSVM approach outperforms the other state-of-the-art edge detection approaches, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Early Detection of Parkinson’s Disease by Using SPECT Imaging and Biomarkers
Authors: Pahuja Gunjan , Nagabhushan T. N. , Prasad Bhanu
Published: March 2019

Precise and timely diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is important to control its progression among subjects. Currently, a neuroimaging technique called dopaminergic imaging that uses single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 123I-Ioflupane is popular among clinicians for detecting Parkinson’s disease in early stages. Unlike other studies, which consider only low-level features like gray matter, white matter, or cerebrospinal fluid, this study explores the non-linear relation between different biomarkers (SPECT + biological) using deep learning and multivariate logistic regression. Striatal binding ratios are obtained using 123I-Ioflupane SPECT scans from four brain regions which are further integrated with five biological biomarkers to increase the diagnostic accuracy. Experimental results indicate that this investigated approach can differentiate subjects with 100% accuracy. The obtained results outperform the ones reported in the literature. Furthermore, logistic regression model has been developed for estimating the Parkinson’s disease onset probability. Such models may aid clinicians in diagnosing this disease.

The importance of anthropological methods in the diagnosis of rare diseases
Authors: Różdżyńska-Świątkowska Agnieszka , Tylki-Szymańska Anna
Published: March 2019

Most of inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) and rare endocrine-metabolic diseases (REMD) are rare diseases. According to the European Commission on Public Health, a rare disease is defined, based on its prevalence, as one affecting one in 2000 people. Many IEMs affect body stature, cause craniofacial abnormalities, and disturb the developmental process. Therefore, body proportion, dysmorphic characteristics, and morphological parameters must be assessed and closely monitored. This can be achieved only with the help of an anthropologist who has adequate tools. This is why the role of an anthropologist in collaboration with the physician in the diagnostic process is not to be underestimated. Clinical anthropologists contribute to assessing physical development and improve our understanding of the natural history of rare metabolic diseases. This paper presents anthropometric techniques and methods, such as analysis of demographic data, anthropometric parameters at birth, percentile charts, growth patterns, bioimpedance, somatometric profiles, craniofacial profiles, body proportion indices, and mathematical models of growth curves used in certain rare diseases. Contemporary anthropological methods play an important role in the diagnostic process of rare genetic diseases.

Published: March 2019

Visual Perspective Taking (VPT) is the ability to see the world from another person’s perspective, taking into account what they see and how they see it, drawing upon both spatial and social information. Children with autism often find it difficult to understand that other people might have perspectives, viewpoints, beliefs and knowledge that are different from their own, which is a fundamental aspect of VPT. In this research we aimed to develop a methodology to assist children with autism develop their VPT skills using a humanoid robot and present results from our first long-term pilot study. The games we devised were implemented with the Kaspar robot and, to our knowledge, this is the first attempt to improve the VPT skills of children with autism through playing and interacting with a humanoid robot.We describe in detail the standard pre- and post-assessments that we performed with the children in order to measure their progress and also the inclusion criteria derived fromthe results for future studies in this field. Our findings suggest that some children may benefit from this approach of learning about VPT, which shows that this approach merits further investigation.
I longobardi alla VI Crociata

The Old French word longuebart, with the meaning ‘inhabitant of Southern Italy’, is used in chronicles that deal with the war between the emperor Frederick II and the lords of Ibelin written in the Latin East. This article traces the history that lies behind this unexpected use of the term examining medieval French, Latin and Italian texts of various kinds.
Se (re) trouver dans tous ses états ... attributifs : sens et constructions
Authors: Lauwers Peter , Van den Heede Margot , Tobback Els
Published: March 2019

This paper offers a corpus study of two reflexive (semi-)copular verbs, viz. se trouver and se retrouver, which at first sight appear to be mere morphological variants. In a first stage, the study is devoted to the comparison of the reflexive copular construction with the object complement construction of trouver and retrouver. We show the observed differences between both constructions may be explained by a process of grammaticalization, which has attained a further stage in the case of the reflexive constructions which even admit semi-auxiliary uses. Next, we conduct a contrastive analysis of the syntax and the semantics (partially based on a collostructional analysis) of the copular constructions of se trouver and se retrouver. The analysis not only allows to describe the different meaning effects produced by the verbs, it also shows the close links with the locative uses. Moreover, it accounts for the role the morpheme « re- » plays in the reinforcement of the nuance of unexpectedness, and hence, of the detrimental inference.
L’élaboration scripturale du francoprovençal au Moyen Âge
Authors: Carles Hélène , Glessgen Martin
Published: March 2019

Francoprovençal has generally been viewed as an oral dialect group with a highly varied character (due to the mountainous regions of the Alps, the Jura and the Massif Central), and with no elaborated written textual tradition. The virtual absence of such a tradition may indeed be observed for the modern period (i.e. the second half of the second millennium). However, this is not the case for the medieval period, during which Francoprovençal underwent a process of elaboration similar to that of the neighbouring Romance languages, at first fragmentary and embedded in Latin. From these beginnings emerged a pure Romance scripta which remained in existence until the end of the 15th century, when it was replaced by French. This process remained incomplete, characterised by the continuous copresence of either Latin or French and essentially limited to legal and administrative documents. Nonetheless, the first half of the second millennium yields a complex written vernacular which displays both diatopic and diachronic variation, and which has never before undergone systematic analysis. The present contribution is based on a corpus of medieval documents from the Francoprovençal regions of France and Switzerland (approx. 700.000 words), digitised as part of the project Documents linguistiques galloromans and presented for the first time here. Taking one of the most salient and frequent phenomena as an example – the outcome of lat. /a/ in tonic free syllables (ˈpratu> Frpr. pra vs Fr. pré) – the authors assess the nature and extent of the presence of Francoprovençal in medieval scripturality, examining a total of 60.000 occurrences. The results thus obtained allow an interpretation of the historical development of Francoprovençal on the basis of entirely new evidence.
Registers of African-derived lexicon in Uruguay: etymologies, demography and semantic change
Authors: Álvarez López Laura , Coll Magdalena
Published: March 2019

The present paper deals with 82 words of possible African origin registered in Uruguay by Ildefonso Pereda Valdés and Rolando Laguarda Trías between 1937 and 1965. Many of the lexical items were probably introduced by enslaved Africans brought to the region during the 18th and 19th centuries. Evidence shows that most of the words are apparently shared with varieties of Spanish outside the Rio de la Plata region, and most of them also appear in neighboring Argentina and Brazil. Furthermore, the African-derived lexicon is often used to denominate the ‘other’ with respect to people and social behaviors, and most of these loanwords are nouns with possible origins in Bantu languages spoken in West-Central Africa, which corresponds to the available demographic data.

PrEP is effective in preventing HIV transmission among at-risk HIV-negative MSM. A qualitative descriptive study with five focus group discussions (N = 33) involving a purposively recruited sample of Singaporean MSM was conducted from August 2016 to April 2017 to understand local perspectives on potential barriers and motivators to the adoption of PrEP, prior to the implementation of PrEP services in Singapore. Knowledge of PrEP was high, and many viewed PrEP as an attractive alternative to condoms for HIV prevention. Concerns about PrEP included the cost of PrEP and related services, the frequency of PrEP-related clinic visits, fear of side effects, and the stigma associated with using PrEP. Participants felt PrEP was best provided by MSM-friendly providers, and more needed to be done to increase awareness of the effectiveness of PrEP. Access to PrEP for MSM in Singapore has to be affordable, patient-centered, and convenient to maximize the potential benefits of PrEP.
I Don't Want the Tray to Tip: Experiences of Peer Evaluators in a Multisite HIV Retention in Care Study
Authors: Hawk Mary , Riordan Morey , Fonseca Julio J. , Maulsby Catherine
Published: March 2019

Numerous studies demonstrate the efficacy of peer-delivered interventions to improve HIV prevention and care outcomes, yet few explore the role of peers in evaluation and data collection. We conducted qualitative interviews with providers in a multisite HIV Retention in Care initiative to explore peers' evaluation roles, challenges, and strategies for success. We found peers' responsibilities included data collection, client assessments, and data entry. Their rapport with clients was considered an evaluation asset. However, peers struggled with balancing rigorous evaluation and data collection demands with the needs and comfort of clients. Recommendations for peer-based evaluation include ensuring self-care, streamlining workflow, and involving peers in evaluation development and reporting processes. Additional research is needed to explore the extent to which peers participate in evaluation activities and to ensure rigor in peer-based evaluation. Given that peers are well-positioned to collect client-level data, best practices, standards, and trainings for peer-based evaluation should be developed.
An improved method for quantitative ChIP studies of nuclear receptor function
Authors: Hunter Ann Louise , Narang Natasha , Baxter Matthew , Ray David W , Poolman Toryn M
Published: March 2019

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a valuable tool for the endocrine researcher, providing a means to measure the recruitment of hormone-activated nuclear receptors, for example. However, the technique can be challenging to perform and has multiple experimental steps, risking introduction of error at each. The data produced can be challenging to interpret; several different methods are commonly used for normalising data and thus comparing between conditions. Absolute, sensitive quantification of protein-bound DNA is important for correct interpretation of the data. In addition, such quantification can help the investigator in troubleshooting experiments. Here, we outline a ChIP strategy combining droplet digital PCR for accurate quantification with an internal spike-in control for normalisation. This combination strengthens the reliability of ChIP data and allows the operator to optimise their protocol with greater confidence.

Published: March 2019

Genomic sequence data for non-model organisms are increasingly available requiring the development of efficient and reproducible workflows. Here, we develop the first genomic resources and reproducible workflows for two threatened members of the reef-building coral genus Acropora. We generated genomic sequence data from multiple samples of the Caribbean A. cervicornis (staghorn coral) and A. palmata (elkhorn coral), and predicted millions of nucleotide variants among these two species and the Pacific A. digitifera. A subset of predicted nucleotide variants were verified using restriction length polymorphism assays and proved useful in distinguishing the two Caribbean acroporids and the hybrid they form (“A. prolifera”). Nucleotide variants are freely available from the Galaxy server (usegalaxy.org), and can be analyzed there with computational tools and stored workflows that require only an internet browser. We describe these data and some of the analysis tools, concentrating on fixed differences between A. cervicornis and A. palmata. In particular, we found that fixed amino acid differences between these two species were enriched in proteins associated with development, cellular stress response, and the host’s interactions with associated microbes, for instance in the ABC transporters and superoxide dismutase. Identified candidate genes may underlie functional differences in how these threatened species respond to changing environments. Users can expand the presented analyses easily by adding genomic data from additional species, as they become available.
Can Early Management of Hypertension by General Practitioners Improve Outcome?
Authors: Nadler Deborah L , Poppas Athena
Published: March 2019

Hypertension and its cardiovascular sequelae remain one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide, and the prevalence of hypertension in the US and Europe is high. Hypertension is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular events. Pharmacological approaches and lifestyle modification to treat hypertension early have been consistently shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes in primary and secondary prevention. Recent guidelines recommend initiating treatment at lower blood pressure levels, with normal blood pressure being defined as <120/80 mmHg. Calculating risk using a score such as the Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Calculator is important to enable the general practitioner to give appropriate, individualized care.
Ideologías Neoliberales y la Comprensión Espacio Tiempo: analizando la configuración espacial escalar desde la producción del discurso político y las dinámicas socio espaciales en México
Authors: Narciso Carla Filipe
Published: March 2019

El neoliberalismo impuso nuevas formas de reestructuración del capital que llevó a una reconfiguración de la política de escala, así como a la discusión sobre la compresión espacio-tiempo, ya que la producción discursiva de las nuevas formas urbanas bajo el nuevo sistema neoliberal de acumulación flexible no puede ser explicado desde tendencias neopositivistas y neoclásicas. Así, el presente trabajo procura analizar las formas de espacialización escalar de las prácticas políticas discursivas a través de las formas urbano-arquitectónicas establecidas a partir del ejemplo del Guerrero Chimalli en México desde la compresión espacio-tiempo.
La dimensión simbólica del espacio edificado: factores para una discusión epistémica
Authors: Fuentes Farías Francisco Javier
Published: March 2019

Ya que el espacio construido tiene implicaciones éticas, estéticas, sociales, y simbólicas en general es también un referente fundamental en la vida cultural y subjetiva de sus habitantes, de sus diseñadores, y de aquellos que, con el tiempo, modifican a su vez el curso de dicho espacio. Esto hace muy complicado su estudio, por lo que actualmente se recurre a diversos enfoques que permiten hablar de una nueva comprensión del pensamiento urbanístico y arquitectónico, así como de nuevas concepciones y categorías teóricas para aproximarse desde distintas posiciones a la realidad del espacio construido. Éste escrito resume las experiencias subjetivas de las personas en la ciudad desde categorías conceptuales ampliamente usadas en la teoría social, tales como las representaciones sociales, los imaginarios urbanos, y la identidad cultural,conceptos clave usados en ciencias sociales y en geografía constructivista para señalar el resultado de la correlación entre subjetividad y espacio construido. Además, tenemos una aproximación a las neurociencias mediante la sociologíafenomenológica, que nos permite entender los procesos básicos de la interacción social y simbólica. Como resultado tenemos que, además del conocimiento científico, a través de las neurociencias y otras aplicaciones en ciencias sociales del método científico tenemos un modo de conocimiento enactivo, es decir, que procede de la experiencia, aquella que obtiene el investigador como habitante de la propia urbe.
Posicionarse como ciudad creativa en Mesoamérica: arquitectura, gobierno e innovación cívica
Authors: Roverssi Barrantes Bárbara
Published: March 2019

Desde finales del siglo XX han surgido teorías y estrategias asociadas a “ciudades creativas”, las cuales pretenden utilizar la creatividad como clave para el progreso. Paralelamente, diversos gobiernos alrededor del mundo han establecido nuevas unidades de concepción, experimentación y planificación urbana dentro del sector público llamadas “Laboratorios de innovación urbana”. Existe un interés incipiente, pero acelerado de incorporar estas tendencias a los planes de gobierno y desarrollo de territorios dentro de la región Mesoamericana; sin embargo, es escasa la investigación (histórica, conceptual y experiencial) con una visión que dé énfasis a este contexto específico. El presente artículo de investigación inicia por identificar los principales aspectos históricos que han influenciado internacionalmente la transformación de lacreatividad, la innovación y el surgimiento de los Laboratorios de gobierno; luego se clasifican las variantes que han existido en torno al uso del concepto de ciudad creativa (dentro de estrategias urbanas). Finalmente, se exponen aprendizajes sobre estrategias prácticas basadas en la experimentación, metodologías de diseño y arquitectura, desde el gobierno y dentro de estrategias de innovación cívica, dejando en evidencia que se está frente a un nuevo paradigma (cultural, político, económico, social) de gestión, planificación y administración de los territorios. Se parte de una metodología de caso deestudio, para lo cual la investigadora se incorporó al equipo de trabajo del LabCDMX, desde donde recopiló información, entrevistó a actores nacionales e internacionales, y formó parte de las prácticas cotidianas de experimentación dentro del gobierno de la Ciudad de México para posteriormente desarrollar un profundo proceso de análisis.

Violencia urbana: análisis crítico y limitaciones del concepto
Authors: Saborío Sebastián
Published: March 2019

Hasta el momento no existe una definición de violencia urbana que sea considerada como válida por la comunidad académica. Sin embargo, esto no impide que en las ciencias sociales el concepto se empleé con regularidad. En la mayoría de los casos, las publicaciones científicas lo utilizan de manera acrítica como sinónimo de crimen y homicidios. En otros, se proponen definiciones que se limitan a describir las características de la violencia en contextos urbanos específicos y que no pueden ser generalizadas a otras realidades sociales. A través de los resultados de un análisis bibliográfico, el autor explica la importancia de verificar la validez del concepto y expone cuáles son sus principales limitaciones y debilidades. Cuando se refieren a la violencia urbana, las ciencias sociales suelen tomar en consideración principalmente aquellas formas de violencia altamente visibles y que consiguen hacer que una ciudad sea identificada como violenta, disminuyendo la percepción de seguridad de las personas. El principal problema del concepto radica en el hecho de que éste se emplea sobre todopara describir la violencia que ocurre en espacios donde usualmente viven poblaciones socialmente excluidas, las cuales no tienen el poder de incidir en su definición y uso. En consecuencia, el uso acrítico puede consolidar representaciones que estigmatizan y criminalizan a tales poblaciones y los lugares en donde viven; y, a su vez, refuerzan potencialmente los discursos y políticas de seguridad de matriz punitiva y excluyente.Palabras Clave: limitaciones; violencia urbana; visibilidad.
Effect of diets with raw garlic flour on growth performance and blood parameters in rabbits
Authors: Onyekwere M.U. , Jiwuba P.C. , Egu U.N.
Published: March 2019

Abstract. Ninety-six growing New Zealand rabbit bucks (male) and does (female) were randomly assigned to four treatment diets for a period of ninety (90) days. The treatments which contained 0% (T1) control, 5% (T2), 10% (T3) and 15% (T4) raw garlic flour meal were fed to the rabbits in a completely randomized design (CRD) to determine the growth performance, haematology and serum chemistry of the rabbits. The results on growth performance in both sexes showed significant differences (P<0.05) among the treatment groups except for final body weights. T4 recorded the best values in weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR) for both sexes. Results of hematological parameters (haemoglobin - Hb, Packed Cell Volume - PCV, Red Blood Cell - RBC, White Blood Cell –WBC, Mean Cell Volume - MCV, Mean Cell Haemoglobin - MCH and Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration - MCHC) showed significant (p<0.05) difference for all the parameters evaluated except for red blood cells in both sexes. Haemoglobin values for both sexes were higher and better for the treatment groups in comparison with the control. For the serum chemistry (Total serum protein, Albumin, Globulin, Urea, Creatinine and Cholesterol) all the parameters showed significant (p<0.05) difference among the parameters examined except albumin for both sexes. However, globulin was also similar (p>0.05) for the male rabbits. Significant (p<0.05) reduction in blood cholesterol was recorded in rabbits fed the treatment diets. The study indicated that raw garlic floor could effectively be added to rabbit ration to improve the quality of the feed and the physiological condition of the animals.

A total of 20 antibroadleaved herbicides were investigated: Granstar 75 DF, Granstar super 50 SG, Ally max SG, Arat, Biathlon 4 D, Derby super WG, Mustang 306.25 SC, Weedmaster 646 CL, Sunsac, Secator OD, Logran 60 WG, Lintur 70 WG, Akurat 60 WG, Akurat extra WG, Eagle 75 DF, Herbaflex, Starane 250 EK, Sanafen, Dicotex 400 and Herby 675. All herbicides were treated in 2-nd stem node stage of durum wheat. During 2-nd stem node stage of durum wheat the following antibroadleaved herbicides can be used: Arat, Biathlon, Derby super, Mustang, Secator, Lintur, Akurat, Akurat extra, Starane, Dicotex and Herby. These herbicides do not have a negative influence on grain yield. The most unstable treatments are with herbicides Granstar, Granstar super, Ally max, Sunsac, Logran, Eagle, Herbaflex and Herby. Their selectivity to durum wheat is influenced most strongly by weather conditions during the vegetation period. From the viewpoint of technology for durum wheat growing, during 2-nd stem node stage technologically the most valuable are the herbicides Derby super, Arat, Biathlon, Secator, Akurat, Akurat extra and Lintur. Their application provides high and stable grain yield during different years. The herbicides Granstar, Granstar super, Ally max, Sunsac, Weedmaster, Logran, Eagle and Herbaflex cannot be used during 2-nd stem node stage of durum wheat.

Ebben a tanulmányban a Tudat Fenomenológiája Kérdőív (Pekala, 1982, 1991) magyar adaptációját és a kérdőív alkalmazásával kapott eredményeket foglaljuk össze. Az ötvenhárom tételből álló mérőeszköz a tudat módosulásának mértékét és a szubjektív élmények mintázatát tizenkét fő- és tizennégy aldimenzió mentén méri, és a hipnózis interakciós megközelítésével összhangban nemcsak az alany, de a hipnotizőr esetében is használható. A kérdőív nem csupán hipnózisban, hanem bármilyen más helyzetben is alkalmazható, ahol a tudatállapot módosulására számítunk, így lehetővé teszi a különféle módszerekkel létrehozott vagy spontán kialakuló módosult tudatállapotok szubjektív élményeinek összehasonlítását is. A Tudat Fenomenológiája Kérdőív megbízhatósága megfelelő, konstruktum- és diszkriminatív validitását számos nemzetközi és magyar vizsgálat alátámasztja. A kérdőív tehát a módosult tudatállapotok során megjelenő szubjektív élmények számszerűsítésére általánosan – és hipnózisban különösen – jól hasznosítható mérőeszköz. Felhasználási lehetőségeit irodalmi összefoglalóval és kutatócsoportunk korábbi eredményeiből származó példákkal szemléltetjük.
A felnőttkori hipnotikus fogékonyság fejlődési és szocializációs meghatározói

Published: March 2019

A kliens és a terapeuta közötti hipnoterápiás kapcsolat sok szempontból hasonlít a gyermek–szülő viszonyra. A hipnózis szociál-pszichobiológiai megközelítésében a felnőttkori hipnotikus fogékonyság mértékét az idegrendszer fejlődése és a szocializációs folyamatok is befolyásolják. Ennek ellenére eddig nagyon kevés kutatás foglalkozott a felnőttkori hipnotikus fogékonyság fejlődési előzményeivel. Szintén kevés vizsgálatot végeztek a szocializációs hatások feltárására; a gyermekkori emlékeket ezekben is inkább kvalitatív módszerekkel tanulmányozták. Ebben a cikkben összefoglaljuk e kutatások főbb eredményeit, majd bemutatjuk kutatócsoportunk 2008 óta végzett vizsgálatait, amelyekben a szülői nevelési stílusra vonatkozó emlékek és a felnőttkori hipnotikus válasz összefüggéseit kerestük. Standardizált, kvantitatív mérőeszközöket alkalmazó keresztmetszeti vizsgálataink tanulsága, hogy a hideg-büntető szülői nevelési stílus előrejelzi a laboratóriumi hipnózisban átélt negatív érzelmeket és a hipnotizőr rosszallásától való félelmet. Ezt a kapcsolatot részben az alexitímiás érzelemfeldolgozás mediálja. Ezek az eredmények segítséget adhatnak a hipnoterápia megtervezéséhez és a teherbíró pszichoterápiás szövetség kialakításához.

According to the Hazard Vulnerability Index from BNPB, Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Authority, West Pasaman Regency is one of the area with high vulnerability index located in West Sumatra Province, where all of its coastal areas are adjacent with The Indian Ocean. Coastal erosion and extreme waves have been reported to be the most prominent hazards, beside anthropogenic factors, along West Pasaman coastal area. This research was conducted to estimate the loss of shoreline in the area, and how far it has been shifted over the years. Thus, to achieve the objective, the dynamic of shorelines from different time scales was analyzed using quantitative data (satellite images, Netherland Map of Indonesia, and Indonesia topography map), and the statistical output of DSAS (Digital Shoreline Analysis System). The results were validated by a field survey in 2011 and interviewed local people in 2015. We found the highest erosion, about 8.44 m/y, has been occurring in Sasak Ranah Pasisie District, which separate 14 Km from where the highest accretion, about 23.7 m/y, in Kinali District took place.

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta os resultados da pesquisa “Desenvolvimento de metodologia para catalogação dos ambientes de um museu-casa, compreendidos como objetos museológicos”, desenvolvida no âmbito do Programa de Incentivo à Produção do Conhecimento Técnico e Científico na Área da Cultura da Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa. A metodologia da pesquisa incluiu revisão bibliográfica e aplicação de questionários. Primeiramente discutimos a categoria museu-casa e a relevância do estudo dos interiores domésticos. Posteriormente, discutimos a concepção do cômodo enquanto museália e a importância do registro da trajetória social dos artefatos museológicos. Na quarta seção do artigo, apresentamos e refletimos sobre a coleção de cômodos-objetos do Museu Casa de Rui Barbosa, localizado em uma construção de 1850, que serviu de residência a Rui Barbosa e sua família entre 1895 e 1923. Os questionários foram respondidos por profissionais de museus-casas e pelo público do Museu Casa de Rui Barbosa. No primeiro caso, o objetivo foi investigar as metodologias de documentação museológica; já com a pesquisa de público, buscamos incluir as demandas e percepções dos visitantes sobre o museu-casa. Após essas reflexões e investigações, foi possível elaborar a metodologia de catalogação dos cômodos, que inclui as etapas de observação e leitura dos compartimentos da casa, análise de suas propriedades e preenchimento da ficha catalográfica. Até o presente momento, a pesquisa demonstrou o possível ineditismo desta metodologia, que tem potencial para ser adaptada à realidade de outros museus-casas.

Abstract The family represents a privileged place for the detection of signs and symptoms of violence against children and adolescents, especially against boys, phenomenon underreported. The purpose of this paper was to broaden the understanding about issues related to family dynamics in sexual violence against boys by the use of qualitative method; in order to do so, it was made a documentary research of three cases of boys attended at a health service. Three main axes were highlighted in this article: the importance of family in the disclosure of sexual abuse, stigmas and prejudices, and the proximity of the offenders to the boys. It was observed that family dynamics actively influenced the abusive processes because of its possibility to favor protective or unprotected settings and also for the presence of issues such as transgenerationality and confusion in the family role plays. Thus, it is essential that interventions are also directed to the families, so that they are instructed to better protect the boys.

OS FUNDAMENTOS FILOSÓFICOS DA CRÍTICA TEATRAL DE MACHADO DE ASSIS
Authors: MARTINS ALEX LARA
Published: March 2019

Resumo O jovem Machado de Assis acumulou capital cultural filosófico suficiente para debater sobre as principais questões teóricas do país em meados do século XIX. Machado adquiriu o capital cultural da filosofia eclética, mobilizando-o para a emissão dos pareceres no Conservatório Dramático e para a composição de um critério pelo qual pudesse conceber e julgar uma obra literária. O objetivo deste artigo é rastrear os fundamentos filosóficos que compõem essa maneira de julgar e de fazer literatura. A estratégia metodológica consiste em realizar um cruzamento de informações entre a produção filosófica brasileira e o modo como a crítica machadiana sobre o drama recepciona e redireciona esses discursos.
