PENERAPAN JARINGAN SARAF TIRUAN DALAM MEMPREDIKSI JUMLAH KEMISKINAN PADA KABUPATEN/KOTA DI PROVINSI RIAU
Authors: Wanto Anjar
Published: March 2018

Provinsi Riau yang kaya akan Sumber Daya Alam ternyata tidak sebanding dengan jumlah penduduk miskin yang menempati di sejumlah kabupaten/kota di Riau. Contohnya seperti pada tahun 2013 terdapat ± 68.600 penduduk miskin di kabupaten Kampar, atau merupakan yang tertinggi dibandingkan kabupaten/kota lainnya. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan langkah-langkah strategis agar jumlah penduduk miskin tidak bertambah sepanjang tahun, salah satu nya adalah dengan melakukan prediksi jumlah penduduk miskin untuk tahun-tahun selanjutnya. Cara ini dilakukan agar angka kemiskinan bisa semakin ditekan dengan cara melakukan penganggulangan sejak dini. Data yang akan diprediksi adalah data jumlah kemiskinan kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Riau yang bersumber dari Badan Pusat Statistik Provinsi Riau tahun 2010 sampai dengan 2015. Algoritma yang digunakan untuk melakukan prediksi adalah jaringan saraf tiruan Backpropagation. Algoritma ini memiliki kemampuan untuk mengingat dan membuat generalisasi dari apa yang sudah ada sebelumnya. Ada 5 model arsitektur yang digunakan pada algoritma backpropagation ini, antara lain 4-2-5-1 yang nanti nya akan menghasilkan prediksi dengan tingkat akurasi 8%, 4-5-6-1=25%, 4-10-12-1=92%, 4-10-15-1=100% dan 4-15-18-1=33%. Arsitektur terbaik dari ke 5 model ini adalah 4-10-12-1 dengan tingkat keakurasian mencapai 100% dan tingkat error yang digunakan 0,001-0,05. Sehingga model arsitektur ini cukup baik digunakan untuk memprediksi jumlah kemiskinan.

Riau is rich in Natural Resources is not comparable with the number of poor people who occupy in a number of districts/cities in Riau. For example, in 2013 there were ± 68,600 poor people in Kampar district, or the highest compared to other districts. Therefore, strategic steps are needed so that the number of poor people will not increase throughout the year, one of them is to predict the number of poor people for the next years. This way is done so that the poverty rate can be further suppressed by doing the countermeasures early on. The data to be predicted is the data of the number of poverty districts/cities in Riau Province sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Riau Province in 2010 until 2015. Algorithm used to make prediction is the Backpropagation. This algorithm has the ability to remember and make generalizations of what has been there before. There are 5 architectural models, among others 4-2-5-1 which later will produce predictions with an accuracy rate of 8%, 4-56-1=25%, 4-10-12-1=92%, 4-10-15-1=100% and 4-15-18-1=33%. The best architecture of the 5 models is 4-10-12-1 with 100% accuracy and error rate of 0.001-0.05. So this model of architecture is good enough used to predict the amount of poverty.

Are Changes in Physical Work Capacity Induced by High-Intensity Functional Training Related to Changes in Associated Physiologic Measures?
Authors: Crawford Derek A. , Drake Nicholas B. , Carper Michael J. , Deblauw Justin , Heinrich Katie M.
Published: March 2018

High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) is a novel exercise intervention that may test body systems in a balanced and integrated fashion by challenging individuals’ abilities to complete mechanical work. However, research has not previously determined if physical work capacity is unique to traditional physiologic measures of fitness. Twenty-five healthy men and women completed a six-week HIFT intervention with physical work capacity and various physiologic measures of fitness assessed pre- and post-intervention. At baseline, these physiologic measures of fitness (e.g., aerobic capacity) were significantly associated with physical work capacity and this relationship was even stronger at post-intervention assessment. Further, there were significant improvements across these physiologic measures in response to the delivered intervention. However, the change in these physiologic measures failed to predict the change in physical work capacity induced via HIFT. These findings point to the potential utility of HIFT as a unique challenge to individuals’ physiology beyond traditional resistance or aerobic training. Elucidating the translational impact of increasing work capacity via HIFT may be of great interest to health and fitness practitioners ranging from strength/conditioning coaches to physical therapists.
Landmark Technique for a Wrist Block
Authors: Kocheta Alex , Agrawal Yuvraj
Published: March 2018

Effective anesthesia of the hand and wrist has many uses inside and outside the operating room. In the emergency department or fracture clinic, a wrist block may be used for closed reductions of dislocations and fractures or for effective inspection and treatment of wounds. In the operating room, surgery may be carried out under a wrist block alone or a wrist block may be used as an adjunct to general anesthesia as the block is an opiate-sparing option to facilitate outpatient surgery and to provide many hours of postoperative analgesia, particularly if administered prior to the commencement of surgery.

The landmark technique for distal peripheral nerve blocks at the wrist is a well-recognized method and is described for the median nerve, ulnar nerve, superficial branch of the radial nerve, and dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve at the wrist. To make this technique more effective for carpal surgery, blocks of the posterior interosseous and anterior interosseous nerves are added.

Step 1: The patient is counseled about the procedure and the expected outcomes.

Step 2: Drug allergies are checked.

Step 3: The maximum safe dose of the chosen local anesthetic agent is calculated using the weight of the patient.

Step 4: The drug ampules are checked for the name and concentration of the drug as well as the expiration date.

Step 5: The drug is drawn up into a 10-mL syringe, and a needle is fitted for injection.

Step 6: For each of the 6 nerves to be blocked, the anatomical landmarks are identified along with surrounding structures at risk.

Step 7: The skin is prepared with an antiseptic agent.

Step 8: The nerve block injections are administered using the techniques in the accompanying video, while checking that there are no signs of intraneural or intravascular injection.

The landmark technique for wrist block is an effective method in the situations described above. However, there are occasional failures to provide sufficient analgesia as with all peripheral nerve block techniques. There is a possibility of intraneural injection, which must be avoided. There is also a risk of direct nerve fascicular injury with the needle, which therefore requires a thoughtful technique. There is little if any motor block, which makes the technique particularly suitable when intraoperative active motion is required or when physiotherapy is started directly postoperatively. The technique is very rapid to administer, and it does not require any equipment other than a syringe and needle, making it very inexpensive and suitable for austere environments.
Cuando los espectadores sabemos más. El caso de Águila Roja
Authors:   Universitat Politècnica de València, Vacas Gomez María Mercedes
Published: March 2018

Águila Roja (2009 - 2016, TVE) ha sido una de las series más exitosas de los últimos años en España. La historia del héroe de capa y catana atrajo el interés de una audiencia numerosa que fue fiel a sus andanzas durante siete años. En este artículo se profundiza en uno de los aspectos de esta serie, cómo transmitió la información del argumento a los espectadores de forma poco común en la ficción audiovisual seriada. A través del planteamiento teórico se desarrolla el concepto de narrativa espectatorial aplicado al caso particular de Águila Roja, en la que el foco de información recae sobre la audiencia, que maneja mucha más información durante todo el relato que los propios personajes. Partiendo de la observación como técnica esencial se ha realizado un amplio análisis de la organización de las tramas de esta serie. El objetivo es estudiar y ejemplificar como los datos claves en el desarrollo de la línea argumental principal se dan al espectador desde el comienzo del relato. De esta forma se descubren los giros principales de la historia pero con ellos se establece una relación empática entre audiencia y personajes que favorece la identificación y el enganche a la ficción.

Published: March 2018

Desde 2014 hemos sido testigos del resurgimiento de la realidad virtual, así como del formato 360º con capacidad inmersiva, de la mano de dos corporaciones con plataformas digitales sociales muy importantes: Facebook y Google. En el seno del Mobile First/Mobile Only como nuevo paradigma comunicacional, diversos ámbitos se han visto beneficiados de la irrupción del formato inmersivo, con la intención de dar una nueva dimensión al mensaje. En este sentido, la publicidad y el marketing han comenzado a explotarlo con la intención de generar una relación diferente entre el consumidor y la marca, a través del nexo empático generado por una buena estructura de storytelling, columna vertebral de la nueva narrativa en cuestión. A través de una revisión en Youtube y Facebook, intentamos dejar en evidencia hasta qué punto esta premisa es cierta, cuáles marcas han hecho un uso mayor del recurso y cuáles han tenido mayor engagement, al tiempo de plantear algunas recomendaciones con el fin de sacar el mayor provecho de cara a estrategias transmedia, necesarias ante la actual y profusa segmentación de la audiencia en diferentes plataformas digitales con estéticas y modelos de comunicación distintos.

Propuesta de categorización de festivales de cine (Estudio de caso en España)
Authors:   Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche, Jurado Martín Montserrat
Published: March 2018

El fenómeno de los festivales de cine sigue siendo un campo prácticamente inexplorado y con muchas posibilidades de estudio tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Aunque afortunadamente existen estudios tan enriquecedores como los de Aida Vallejo (2014) o Rosana Vivar (2016), el camino es largo para llegar a las propuestas internacionales que trabajan el equipo de Valck, Krendell y Loist, S. (2016) y Iordanova y Leshu (2012). A pesar de los desajustes económicos de los que se resiente la cultura en el siglo XXI, muchos de estos eventos luchan por ser certámenes de calidad y lograr el reconocimiento del público y de la industria. No obstante, no existe una normativa específica que determine cuáles son los requisitos de un festival de cine de calidad. Hay propuestas que sirven de referencia pero o no resultan completas o no publican sus criterios de inclusión, como la FIAFP a nivel europeo, lo que genera dudas a los organizadores de certámenes. Este artículo rescata la propuesta de categorización de festivales de cine de Jurado (2003) basada en las aportaciones de 147 entrevistas a profesionales del sector.
Negligencia del padre ¿una práctica que puede llevar al embarazo adolescente?
Authors: Ávila-Navarrete Viviana Carmenza , Salazar-Arango Andrés , Bernal-Velásquez Claudia
Published: March 2018

La investigación indagó cómo la negligencia emocional paterna puede convertirse en una práctica que favorece el embarazo adolescente, mediante el análisis hermenéutico de narrativas en un grupo de 30 madres adolescentes de la ciudad de Bogotá-Colombia, cuya edad al momento del nacimiento del primer hijo era de 12 a 19 años y de quienes se sabía tenían padre negligente. Se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad apoyadas con preguntas previamente estructuradas por Strauss, Kinard y Williams (1995). Los significados de la negligencia del padre en las madres adolescentes evidenciaron que el descuido en actividades de afecto, acompañamiento, apoyo, juego, lectura, ayuda con las tareas, instauración de límites, educación para la sexualidad, suministro de alimentos, vestido, refugio y atención médica, pueden llevar al embarazo no planeado en las hijas adolescentes. El presente estudio invita a la implementación de programas educativos para los padres a fin de prevenir el comportamiento negligente e instiga a fortalecer el acompañamiento psicosocial a las madres adolescentes, orientando sobre el valor de la maternidad.

Currículo y enfoque pedagógico: imaginarios institucionales sobre docencia en una universidad pública en norte de santander
Authors: Gamboa Suárez Audin Aloiso , Hernández Suárez César Augusto , Montes Miranda Alex Javier
Published: March 2018

Objetivo: El artículo pretendió comprender los discursos institucionales sobre docencia presentes en las políticas educativas en una universidad pública del Norte de Santander desde dos categorías: currículo y enfoque pedagógico. Método: Las orientaciones metodológicas parten de análisis del discurso vertical cualitativo, lo cual permitió comprender los principales enunciados de las argumentaciones de la categoría docencia con referencia en los documentos de rigor de la institución, así como en los documentos de los programas de Enfermería e Ingeniería de Sistemas. Resultados: El estudio logra evidenciar discursos idealistas, en los que las rutas teóricas y metodológicas de los documentos institucionales se encuentran construidas sobre la base de la transformación social de los escenarios locales, regionales y nacionales, y los nuevos enfoques de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Conclusiones: Los imaginarios sobre currículo se enfocan principalmente en dos categorías: la flexibilidad y la pertinencia. El imaginario sobre el enfoque pedagógico dialógico-crítico es una apuesta para que la estructura curricular, los maestros y los estudiantes reconfiguren sus prácticas en escenarios dialógicos de reflexión en torno a problemas científicos y sociales con un pretexto de aprendizaje. © Universidad Católica Luis Amigó - Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales.

Published: March 2018

Objetivo: estudiar la relación existente entre la religiosidad, los valores y el razonamiento moral prosocial de estudiantes de secundaria. La primera hipótesis que se pretende comprobar es si la religiosidad es capaz de predecir algún tipo específico de razonamiento moral prosocial (RMP). La segunda hipótesis trata de investigar si la religiosidad está relacionada con los valores de la escala de Rockeach. Metodología: la muestra utilizada está compuesta por 421 adolescentes de entre 13 y 18 años. Se han llevado a cabo modelos de regresión múltiple y pruebas MANOVA. Resultados: según los modelos de regresión múltiple, se concluyó que los estudiantes que dan menos importancia a Dios en sus vidas presentan significativamente un mayor nivel de razonamiento hedonista. Conclusiones: las MANOVA permitieron concluir que la religiosidad se relaciona significativamente con la elección de los valores “ser independiente”, “ser intelectual” y “tener una vida confortable”. © Universidad Católica Luis Amigó - Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales.
Relational Capital and financial performance: an empirical analysis on a sample of Italian firms
Authors: Iazzolino Gianpaolo , Chiappetta Federica , Chiappetta Stefano
Published: March 2018

The aim of this paper is to study the relations existing between the relational capital, both internal and external, and the firm financial performance. The investigation has been carried out on quantitative and qualitative data extracted from a sample of 100 Italian large firms. The paper deeply analyzes the dimension of the internal relational capital, not so widely studied in the literature. Findings demonstrate the influence of the internal relational capital (IRC) and of the external relational capital (ERC) on performance. The research suggests that an effort has to be devoted not only to improving relations with external stakeholders, but also to developing intra-firm relations. The research contributes to studies in management and in particular in internal organization by demonstrating that designing and implementing systems for supporting internal relation can improve firm performance.

Authors: Moreira Aline de Oliveira , Costa Otávia Regina Souza
Published: March 2018

Introdução: A Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) atende doentes graves e recuperáveis, através de recursos tecnológicos e de uma assistência integral e contínua. Além disso, fazem-se necessários profissionais capacitados e atuantes, atentos à singularidade e multidimensionalidade dos pacientes. Objetivos: Descrever as percepções dos pacientes sobre a internação na UTI. Métodos: Estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório. A amostra foi constituída por onze pacientes provenientes da UTI de um hospital escola do sul de Minas Gerais. Resultados: Os dados encontrados foram agrupados nas seguintes categorias: percepção anterior e atual sobre a UTI; atendimento da equipe multiprofissional; rotinas; e condição clínica e procedimentos. Conclusão: Antes da internação, os pacientes, possuíam uma visão estereotipada da UTI, transformando sua percepção após a internação, passando a ver a UTI como local de tratamento intensivo. A equipe multiprofissional é importante no alívio da ansiedade, do medo e da solidão. O respeito à subjetividade e particularidade de pacientes e familiares favorece a adaptação ao setor. Assim, a política de humanização vem a cada dia ocupando mais espaço nas UTIs.
A Novel Smartphone App to Support Learning and Maintaining Competency With Bier Blocks for Pediatric Forearm Fracture Reductions: Protocol for a Mixed-Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Burstein Brett , Bretholz Adam
Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND

Distal forearm fractures are among the most common injuries presenting to the pediatric emergency department (PED). Bier block (BB), or intravenous regional anesthesia, is a safe and effective alternative to procedural sedation for closed reduction of forearm fractures; it is associated with fewer adverse events, a shorter length of stay, and reduced costs. BB has long remained relatively underutilized; however, with an increasing emphasis on efficient resource use and patient-centered care, there is renewed interest in this technique.

OBJECTIVE

Our tertiary PED recently became the first in Canada to successfully implement an active BB program. Subsequently, we developed a mobile BB smartphone app designed to support the sustained departmental use of BB. The app can be used for training and maintenance of competency and incorporates instructional material, as well as our institutional BB protocol, printable medication order sheets, and monitoring forms. The present report describes the development and functionality of the BB smartphone app.

METHODS

We have described app development and content. App dissemination metrics will be tracked, and user feedback will be analyzed using a self-administered electronic survey. Additionally, app utilization in our PED will be compared with real-world clinical use of BB for fracture reductions.

RESULTS

The first iteration of the BB app was launched in 2015, with the most recent update in September 2018. App metric tracking is planned for January 2020 until December 2021.

CONCLUSIONS

We have highlighted how the BB app serves as a paradigm of an educational tool designed not only for individual users but also for supporting the department-wide implementation and dissemination of a new technique. App dissemination and use metrics will be tracked and correlated with clinical use of BB in the PED.

Metadata Correction: Mobile Phone Ownership Is Not a Serious Barrier to Participation in Studies: Descriptive Study (Preprint)
Authors: Harvey Emily J , Rubin Leslie F , Smiley Sabrina L , Zhou Yitong , Elmasry Hoda , Pearson Jennifer L
Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND

Rather than providing participants with study-specific data collection devices, their personal mobile phones are increasingly being used as a means for collecting geolocation and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data in public health research.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to (1) describe the sociodemographic characteristics of respondents to an online survey screener assessing eligibility to participate in a mixed methods study collecting geolocation and EMA data via the participants’ personal mobile phones, and (2) examine how eligibility criteria requiring mobile phone ownership and an unlimited text messaging plan affected participant inclusion.

METHODS

Adult (≥18 years) daily smokers were recruited via public advertisements, free weekly newspapers, printed flyers, and word of mouth. An online survey screener was used as the initial method of determining eligibility for study participation. The survey screened for twenty-eight inclusion criteria grouped into three categories, which included (1) cell phone use, (2) tobacco use, and (3) additional criteria.

RESULTS

A total of 1003 individuals completed the online screener. Respondents were predominantly African American (605/1003, 60.3%) (60.4%), male (514/1003, 51.3%), and had a median age of 35 years (IQR 26-50). Nearly 50% (496/1003, 49.5%) were unemployed. Most smoked menthol cigarettes (699/1003, 69.7%), and had a median smoking history of 11 years (IQR 5-21). The majority owned a mobile phone (739/1003, 73.7%), could install apps (86.8%), used their mobile phone daily (89.5%), and had an unlimited text messaging plan (871/1003, 86.8%). Of those who completed the online screener, 302 were eligible to participate in the study; 163 were eligible after rescreening, and 117 were enrolled in the study. Compared to employed individuals, a significantly greater proportion of those who were unemployed were ineligible for the study based on mobile phone inclusion criteria (P<.001); yet, 46.4% (333/717) of the individuals who were unemployed met all mobile phone inclusion criteria.

CONCLUSIONS

Inclusion criteria requiring participants to use their personal mobile phones for data collection was not a major barrier to study participation for most respondents who completed the online screener, including those who were unemployed.

Abstract

Mergers and acquisitions (MA) is one method of doing business combinations (Novaliza & Djajanti, 2013; Ramadhariyansyah & Suwitho, 2013; Setiawan, 2013; Sukartha, 2013). This study aims to determine the predictability of stock’s beta listed on the Stock Exchange after the successful MA. Furthermore, this study is also to examine the effect of liquidity and financial leverage to Beta Stocks in companies listed on the Stock Exchange after MA. The Fowler and Rorke methods are used to correct the beta. The analysis method used is one sample t-test and multiple linear regression. The beta value of 0.79 is significant at the 5% level (2.86 > 2.13). The result indicated that the beta value has the ability to minimize the risk (predictable). Liquidity and Financial Leverage have no significant effect on Beta Stocks.

Dynamics of a family of orbitally continuous mappings
Authors: Pant Abhijit , Pant R.P. , Prakash Kuldeep
Published: March 2018

The aim of the present paper is to study the dynamics of a class of
orbitally continuous non-linear mappings defined on the set of real numbers
and to apply the results on dynamics of functions to obtain tests of
divisibility. We show that this class of mappings contains chaotic mappings.
We also draw Julia sets of certain iterations related to multiple lowering
mappings and employ the variations in the complexity of Julia sets to
illustrate the results on the quotient and remainder. The notion of orbital
continuity was introduced by Lj. B. Ciric and is an important tool in
establishing existence of fixed points.

addition we present homotopy and normalization type properties for these
maps.
On existence result of a class of nonlinear integral equation
Authors: Bisht Ravindra
Published: March 2018

Combining the approaches of functionals associated with h-concave functions
and fixed point techniques, we study the existence and uniqueness of a
solution for a class of nonlinear integral equation: x(t) = g1(t)-g2(t) +
? ?t,0 V1(t,s)h1(s,x(s))ds + ? ?T,0 V2(t,s)h2(s,x(s))ds; where C([0,T];R)
denotes the space of all continuous functions on [0,T] equipped with
the uniform metric and t?[0,T], ?,? are real numbers, g1, g2 ? C([0,
T],R) and V1(t,s), V2(t,s), h1(t,s), h2(t,s) are continuous real-valued
functions in [0,T]xR.
A characterization of the essential approximation pseudospectrum on a Banach space
Authors: Ammar Aymen , Jeribi Aref , Mahfoudhi Kamel
Published: March 2018

One impetus for writing this paper is the issue of approximation
pseudospectrum introduced by M. P. H.Wolff in the journal of approximation
theory (2001). The latter study motivates us to investigate the essential
approximation pseudospectrum of closed, densely defined linear operators on a
Banach space. We begin by defining it and then we focus on the
characterization, the stability and some properties of these pseudospectra.
An efficient genetic algorithm for the Uncapacitated r-allocation p-hub maximal covering problem
Authors: Jankovic Olivera
Published: March 2018

This paper deals with the Uncapacitated r-allocation p-hub Maximal Covering Problem (UrApHMCP) with a binary coverage criterion. This problem consists of choosing p hub locations from a set of nodes so as to maximize the total demand covered under the r-allocation strategy. The general assumption is that the transportation between the nonhub nodes is possible only via hub nodes, while each non-hub node is assigned to at most r hubs. An integer linear programming formulation of the UrApHMCP is presented and tested within the framework of a commercial CPLEX solver. In order to solve the problem on large scale hub instances that cannot be handled by the CPLEX, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed. The results of computational experiments on standard p-hub benchmark instances with up to 200 nodes demonstrate efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed GA method.

Published: March 2018

On November 9, 2017, the Monitoring Group (MG) overseeing international auditing standards issued a request for comment on its consultation paper (CP), Strengthening the Governance and Oversight of the International Audit-Related Standard-Setting Boards in the Public Interest. The CP presents a broad array of proposals to reform and restructure the three current auditing standard-setting groups it oversees (International Accounting and Assurance Standards Board [IAASB], International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants [IESBA], and International Accounting Education Standards Board [IAESB]). The CP suggests combining the three boards into a single board, and solicited public comment on the following areas: (1) key areas of overall concern, (2) guiding principles, (3) options for reform of the standard-setting boards, (4) options for the Public Interest Oversight Board (PIOB), (5) role of the monitoring group, (6) administration, including Standard-Setting Board staff, (7) process considerations, and (8) funding. The comment period ended on February 9, 2018. This commentary summarizes the participating committee members' views on selected questions for respondents posed by the MG.

Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Prediabetes in Patients Infected With HIV
Authors: Arafath Syed , Campbell Tavajay , Yusuff Jameela , Sharma Roopali
Published: March 2018

Background

The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has resulted in a dramatic decrease in morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected patients. Components of HAART (e.g., protease inhibitors and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors), as well as HIV infection itself, can have significant effects on developing new-onset diabetes. The goals of this study were to determine the prevalence of prediabetes and to assess risk factors associated with prediabetes in a cohort of HIV-infected patients.

Methods

This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study of 249 HIV-infected patients in an outpatient multidisciplinary HIV clinic in a university hospital. Patients with prediabetes were identified and compared with patients without prediabetes. The association between the prevalence of prediabetes and risk factors was analyzed.

Results

Among 249 HIV-infected patients, the mean age was 46.3 years, and 54% were male. Prevalence of prediabetes was approximately 30%, and BMI ≥30 kg/m2 was found to be a significant risk factor for developing prediabetes.

Conclusion

A high prevalence of prediabetes was observed in this cohort of HIV-infected patients. Interventions targeting HIV-infected patients with increased risk of prediabetes, especially individuals with a high BMI, is needed.
iGlarLixi: A New Once-Daily Fixed-Ratio Combination of Basal Insulin Glargine and Lixisenatide for the Management of Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Hinnen Debbie , Strong Jodi
Published: March 2018

Background.

Patients with type 2 diabetes require treatment intensification to maintain glycemic control. Clinician reluctance, patient injection fears, hypoglycemia, weight gain, or other objections may lead to clinical inertia, whereby therapy is not intensified and patients live with uncontrolled hyperglycemia and increased risk for complications. Initiation of injectable therapy with a glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonist and/or basal insulin is a recommended option for patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on one or more oral agents.

Purpose.

This article reviews clinical evidence and provides information on dosing and administration of iGlarLixi, a titratable fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine and the GLP-1 receptor agonist lixisenatide that effectively lowers both fasting and postprandial glucose levels.

Findings.

In phase 3 trials, iGlarLixi provided greater A1C reduction than insulin glargine or lixisenatide alone, without increased hypoglycemia risk compared with insulin glargine. iGlarLixi did not lead to weight gain versus insulin glargine and was associated with a lower frequency of gastrointestinal adverse effects than lixisenatide. iGlarLixi was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on basal insulin (<60 units daily) or lixisenatide. iGlarLixi is administered by subcutaneous injection once daily, and the dose is titrated based on each patient’s insulin needs using a simple titration algorithm.

Conclusion.

iGlarLixi offers an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes requiring additional glycemic control, with comparable or improved safety outcomes than its separate components. Because of its simple regimen and low rate of adverse effects, iGlarLixi may improve adherence and, consequently, therapeutic outcomes.
Effects of Social Support Network Size on Mortality Risk: Considerations by Diabetes Status
Authors: Loprinzi Paul D. , Ford M. Allison
Published: March 2018

Objective.

Previous work demonstrates that social support is inversely associated with mortality risk. Less research, however, has examined the effects of the size of the social support network on mortality risk among those with and without diabetes, which was the purpose of this study.

Methods.

Data from the 1999–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used, with participants followed through 2011. This study included 1,412 older adults (≥60 years of age) with diabetes and 5,872 older adults without diabetes. The size of the social support network was assessed via self-report and reported as the number of participants’ close friends.

Results.

Among those without diabetes, various levels of social support network size were inversely associated with mortality risk. However, among those with diabetes, only those with a high social support network size (i.e., at least six close friends) had a reduced risk of all-cause mortality. That is, compared to those with zero close friends, those with diabetes who had six or more close friends had a 49% reduced risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 0.51, 95% CI 0.27–0.94).

Conclusion.

To mitigate mortality risk, a greater social support network size may be needed for those with diabetes.

Kurun waktu sekitar tiga (3) windu sistem ekonomi syariah telah dirintis di Indonesia. Pengkajian terhadap sistem ekonomi syariah terus dilakukan dan ini berdampak pula pada akuntansi syariah yang terus dikembangkan sebagai pencatatn keuangan pada lembaga keuangan syariah. Dimulai pada tahun 1991 pendirian Bank Mumalat yang rancangannya telah dikaji jauh sebelum tahun didirikannya. Selanjutnya dikeluarkan perundang-undangan yang mengatur legalitas dari ekonomi dan akuntansi syariah. Guna mempercepat perkembangannya pemerintah beberapa kali melakukan amandemen terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan syariah dan melakukan pengkajian terhadap akuntansi syariah sehingga terbitlah PSAK Syariah, Pedoman Akuntansi Perbankan Syariah Indonesia (PAPSI), dan adanya fatwa MUI sebagai landasan yang digunakan dalam akuntansi syariah.

Análise do gasto médio por internação em hospitais de Mato Grosso: a gestão por OSS em foco
Authors: Souza Paulo Cesar , Scatena João Henrique Gurtler , Kehrig Ruth Terezinha
Published: March 2018

Na busca por modelos gerenciais que superem a rigidez da administração burocrática tradicional, tem sido adotada a transferência de gestão de hospitais públicos para Organizações Sociais de Saúde. Diante dessa realidade, este trabalho se propôs a analisar o gasto médio por internação em oito hospitais de Mato Grosso, comparando os valores da gestão por OSS com outros arranjos organizacionais utilizados no estado, e com valores oriundos de estudos assemelhados. A comparação indicou um valor bastante elevado de gasto, acima dos daqueles encontrados em outras formas de gestão e mesmo em hospitais que também têm gestão por OSS, de outro estado (SP). Os dados suscitam a necessidade de melhor acompanhamento da operacionalização desse modelo, em MT, principalmente quanto aos gastos para manutenção.
