However, the growth performance and survival rate of the fish seed are still low. Such challenges could be solved through the optimization of stocking density of the fish. The research objective was to determine the optimal stocking density to produce high growth and survival rate, as well as the best physiological response. The ponds used in this experiment were 2 m x 1 m x 1 m in size (water volume: 1 m3). The stocking density treatments were 50, 100, and 150 individual/m3. The initial fish length average was 4.24 ± 0.58 cm, with the initial body weight average of 2.74 ± 0.45 g. During 60 days of rearing period, the fish were fed with Tubifex sp. ad libitum. The results showed that the survival rates on different stocking densities were not significantly different. The highest specific growth on length (1.50 ± 0.37%/day) and body weight total (1.95 ± 0.32%/day) and the most stable physiological response related to its hematological parameters were achieved by seed stocked at 50 individuals/m3. The best biomass total was achieved by seed stocked at 150 individuals/m3. The result of this study could be applied as basic information to culture sand goby in a controlled environment.

Published: January 2018

Plankton di tambak super-intensif dalam berbagai bentuk seperti mikroalga, rotifer, dan kopepoda seringkali merupakan agen pembawa virus bintik putih atau white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) yang sangat potensial. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui insidensi dan prevalensi infeksi WSSV pada plankton di tambak budidaya udang vaname, Litopenaeus vannamei, super-intensif di Kabupaten Barru, Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dari bulan Januari sampai dengan Desember 2015. Sampel plankton dikoleksi dari sumber pemasukan air tambak superintensif (inlet), outlet, instalasi pengolahan air limbah tambak yang sedang melakukan kegiatan budidaya. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa insidensi infeksi WSSV terjadi di bulan Januari, Oktober, dan November. Pada bulan Januari, plankton yang terdeteksi mengalami infeksi WSSV adalah dari petakan tambak P1, outlet-1, outlet dan inlet tambak-3, serta inlet hatchery. Selanjutnya pada bulan Oktober, plankton yang terinfeksi WSSV adalah dari petakan tambak P2, P7, P8, dan IPAL. Pada bulan November, WSSV hanya terdeteksi pada plankton di inlet petakan tambak P3 dan inlet hatchery. Prevalensi WSSV tertinggi diperoleh pada plankton di bulan November (66,67%); bulan Januari (62,5%); dan Oktober (40,00%). Plankton dalam petakan tambak cenderung lebih sensitif terhadap infeksi WSSV sehingga berpotensi sebagai vektor dalam tambak pembesaran udang.Plankton, found as microalgae, rotifer, and copepods, in super intensive ponds are potential disease agents of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). This study aims to evaluate the incidence and prevalence of WSSV on plankton in super intensive Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp ponds in Barru Regency, South Sulawesi. The study was conducted for one year from January to December 2015. Plankton were collected from the inlets, outlets, and waste water management plant of the super intensive ponds which were running of culturing shrimps. The results showed that the incidences of WSSV infection on plankton were occurred in January, October, and November of 2015. The detected plankton with WSSV infection occurred in January and were collected from pond PI, outlet-I, outlets and inlets of pond-3 as well as the inlets of the hatchery. In October, the identified plankton infected with WSSV were collected from ponds P2, P7, P8, and their waste water management plant. In November, WSSV was only detected on plankton found in the inlets of pond-3 and the inlets of the hatchery. The highest WSSV prevalence was obtained on plankton isolated in November (66.67%) followed by plankton isolated in January (62.5%), and in October (40%). The study found that plankton in pond tend to be more sensitive to WSSV infection which could potentially serve as WWSV vectors in shrimp culture.
Development and Implementation of a New OSCE for Assessing Resident Competency in Weight Loss Counseling
Authors: Herzog Jackson , Cameron Kenzie , Badaracco Maria , Kushner Robert
Published: January 2018

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background: Despite the need to provide weight management counseling to patients who are overweight or obese, resident physicians receive little relevant education and practice in performing this skill. As a result, residents report low levels of self-efficacy and often demonstrate limited performance competency. Structured educational interventions providing opportunities for residents to practice weight loss counseling along with objective assessment are lacking. Methods: This article describes the development and implementation of an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for the assessment of resident physician weight loss counseling. A total of 30 PGY-2 and 3 internal medicine residents participated. The OSCE included a brief (10-15 minute) educational session on the 5As counseling framework, followed by an 18-minute encounter with a standardized patient (SP) who was overweight or obese. Resident performance in the OSCE was measured by use of a skills checklist composed of 23 pre-specified counseling skills. Each skill represents a specific element of communication used in effective weight loss counseling, and is based on the 5As counseling framework. The checklist was completed by the SP immediately following the encounter, and the percentage of skills performed was calculated. Results: Residents performed a mean of 68.6% of the pre-specified counseling skills (SD = 17.2%). No significant differences in OSCE performance based on gender, PGY year, SP rater, or career plan (specialty vs. primary care) emerged. Conclusion: The authors developed and implemented an OSCE for the assessment of resident weight loss counseling. The skills checklist allowed for the identification of individual and overall counseling skills in need of improvement, and allowed for targeted feedback.
A newly developed strength-graded material and its deformation behaviour
Authors: Zhao Xiaodong , Zhou Guoqing , Li Ruilin
Published: January 2018

The design and preparation of a cement-based composite material (CCM) with a strength gradient is described. The strength gradient was achieved by altering the water/cement ratio and the curing time along the section height of the sample. The experimental results were compared with thermal-gradient-induced deformation (TGD) obtained in K0DCGF tests (freezing with non-uniform temperature under loading after K0 consolidation). The deformation behaviour in the CCM, which was different from any previously functionally graded material, coincided well with the TGD. The scaled-up mean stress and strain of the CCM were, respectively, over 97% and less than 120% of the values obtained in the K0DCGF test. A simulated TGD profile from the CCM was used to characterise the thermal-gradient-induced heterogeneity. A linear response between peak strength or volumetric strain and heterogeneity was observed in the K0DCGF test, and this was independent of the selection of the describing variable. The use of CCMs to model and reconstruct TGD profiles offers potential advantages because it can prevent problems arising from measuring deformation in a non-transparent environment.
Improvements to the scour facilities at Talla Reservoir
Authors: Lockett Stephen , Biesta Mark , Scott Dougie , Maccarthy Sean
Published: January 2018

At Talla Reservoir the main scour outlet was impracticable to operate due to its arrangement; discharge would impinge at high velocity against the adjacent supply pipe stack, which carries a substantial part of the water supply to Edinburgh. The scour capacity available without the use of the main scour arrangement was deemed inadequate. Works were carried out to amend the arrangement of the scour pipe by installing specially manufactured steel bends and tapers to discharge reservoir water through a diffuser pipe located downstream of the existing supply stack. This paper describes the design, installation and commissioning of the works including the principal considerations and challenges that were overcome during the design process.
Synthesis and characterisation of submicron silica particles from rice husk
Authors: Hincapié-Rojas Daniel Fernando , Pineda-Gomez Posidia , Rosales-Rivera Andrés
Published: January 2018

Rice husk is considered an important silica source. In this work, microsilica particles were obtained by incineration of rice husk and milling of its ash. The synthesis process was carried out by incinerating the rice husk at 700°C, followed by acid leaching in order to remove inorganic impurities and finally mechanical ball milling at 0, 18, 36 and 72 h to reduce the particle size. Thermogravimetric analysis shows the thermal degradation of rice husk and elimination of organic components. The chemical composition was studied by X-ray fluorescence. The structural properties of silica were determined by X-ray diffraction. The morphological changes caused by mechanical milling were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that between 150 and 450°C, the organic material of the husk was released, and above 550°C, ash with high silica content was obtained. Acid leaching increased the silica purity from 93·40 to 98·22%. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis, the predominant phase was silica. The reduction in the crystallinity of silica samples was shown as an effect of mechanical milling while the particle size was reduced. The percentage of crystallinity decreased from 33·5 to 28·5% for after 72 h of milling. The SEM images showed that the particle size reduced with an increase in milling time, obtaining particle diameters smaller than 2·0 μm. The amorphous silica obtained from rice husk can be used for the production of high-performance silicon, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, silicon tetrachloride and zeolites.
Pedestrian crossing characteristics under the effect of right turn on an exclusive lane
Authors: Zhang Hu , Zhao Shuzhi , Cao Yang , Liu Huasheng
Published: January 2018

This study focuses on the new rule of right-turning vehicles on an exclusive right-turn lane to study the characteristics of pedestrian crossing at a right-turn facility with an island. Furthermore, the change of the headway of the right-turning vehicles during saturated and unsaturated release from the upstream intersection of the right-turning vehicles was surveyed in China. Based on this, models were developed that reflect pedestrian delays by comparing the priorities of the pedestrian and the right-turning vehicles during both saturated and unsaturated releasing periods. Finally, the theoretical pedestrian delay calculated through the models is compared with the observed delay, using field data; the paper analyses the differences of the characteristics of pedestrian crossing for both saturated and unsaturated releasing modes. The maximum relative error between the calculated data and the observed data is 20%. For a vehicle-arrival rate below 0·19 pcu/s, pedestrian delay during the saturated releasing period is lower than during the unsaturated releasing period. In summary, the number of vehicles and the degree of congestion greatly affect the probability of the occurrence of an acceptable gap, which has a major influence on the waiting time of pedestrians.

Published: January 2018

O tabaco é principalmente usado para produzir cigarros e charutos, os quais são consumidos no mundo inteiro. No entanto, esse hábito não é benéfico para os usuários e a Organização Mundial da Saúde está buscando a redução deste uso para o tabaco. Nesse sentido, é necessário de outras destinações da planta tabaco que não seja somente para o setor fumageiro. Uma das alternativas do uso da cultura do tabaco é extrair o óleo de suas sementes para produção de biodiesel e outros bioprodutos. Com esse intuito, realizou-se um estudo para otimizar a extração na prensa de rosca ERT 60 (Scott Tech), comparando-se, por seguinte, duas luvas extratoras: a padrão e a otimizada, e dois tipos de sementes de tabaco: residual do Virgínia e a Solaris. Observou-se que com a utilização da luva otimizada houve aumento no rendimento de extração de 8,72% para a semente residual Virgínia e de 11,49% para a semente Solaris em relação à luva extratora padrão. Concluiu-se que o objetivo estabelecido de otimizar a extração por prensagem de óleo da semente de tabaco foi alcançado.

Published: January 2018

A secagem é um processo importante e amplamente empregado para a conservação de diversos tipos de alimentos. Quando realizado com o auxílio de elevadas temperaturas e tempos de secagem, pode ocasionar danos nos constituintes dos alimentos, como a degradação de componentes bioativos. O spray dryer é uma das técnicas de secagem que se destacam na indústria alimentícia, por ser um processo rápido, contínuo, econômico e por não expor o produto a elevadas temperaturas, diminuindo desta forma a sua degradação e perdas nutricionais. As propriedades do produto formado no processo dependem de uma série de variáveis que devem ser controladas, como a propriedades do líquido de alimentação, o design do equipamento e os parâmetros do processo. Neste sentido, este presente trabalho objetivou-se na revisão bibliográfica de aspectos importantes presentes no uso do processo de secagem por spray dryer na indústria alimentícia.
In Search of the Perceived Quality and Impact of Accredited South African Law Journals: Exploring the Possibility of a Ranking System. A Baseline Study: 2009 - 2014
Authors: Carnelley Marita
Published: January 2018

The DHET Research Output Policy (2015) indicates that there has been a change in the government’s approach to research funding. Previously all research published in any accredited journal was rewarded equally. A decision has been taken, however, that a shift will be made towards rewarding better quality and higher impact peer-review research. Additional mechanisms such as biometric/bibliometric data, including citations, assessments by discipline-specific panels of experts and/or post-publication reviews may be used to determine the quality and impact of publications. The policy notes that the DHET may distinguish between "high" and "low" impact journals after proper consultation.

This article highlights the need for consultation by the legal fraternity with the DHET about the implementation of these possible mechanisms in the light of the special considerations applicable to the evaluation of law journals: most journals publish mainly local legal content, there is a limited number of active legal academics, the nature of legal research is not empirical, and a premium is placed on the writing of books.

The research evaluates the available data between 2009 and 2014 in an attempt to assess if it would be appropriate to introduce a legal journal ranking system in South Africa. The article discusses direct and indirect forms of quality evaluation to inform possible ranking systems. This includes the data from the ASSAf expert panel evaluation of law journals in 2014 and other bibliometric data based on whether the journal is featured in international accredited lists, the size of its print-run, author prominence, rejection-rate, usage studies, and evaluations based on citations. An additional ranking system is considered, based on the five best outputs submitted to the National Research Foundation by applicants applying for rating.

The article concludes that a law journal ranking system would be inappropriate for South Africa. None of the systems meet the minimum requirements for a trustworthy ranking of South African law journals, as the data available are insufficient, non-verifiable and not based on objective quality-sensitive criteria. Consultation with the DHET is essential and urgent to avoid the implementation of inappropriate measures of quality and impact assessmen

Poema sobre palco: cenas de Mário Cesariny
Authors: Lessa Maria Silva Prado
Published: January 2018

Na obra poética de Mário Cesariny, há inúmeros poemas identificados como “artes poéticas”. A metalinguagem característica dessas composições sugere uma encenação por meio da qual se replica, para o leitor, o processo de feitura do texto que tem em mãos. Fundam-se, dessa forma, sucessivas “cenas de escrita” que revelam o gesto dramático da criação poética. Esses poemas assumem, assim, um caráter performático próprio do universo teatral, onde “dizer” equivale a “fazer”. Nesse sentido, a poesia de Cesariny se abre ao diálogo com o teatro e demanda uma reflexão acerca da posição do leitor/espectador diante do espetáculo de “reabilitação do real cotidiano” que se põe em cena.

Co-educación desde la perspectiva de la diversidad de género, étnico-racial, de clase, lengua y orientación sexual para América Latina. Contribución a la descolonización y despatriarcalización de la educación
Authors: Colazo Carmen Estela
Published: January 2018

En América Latina se fue adquiriendo conciencia de que desde una perspectiva de género, o género-sensitiva, solamente, no se lograba abarcar la complejidad de los sistemas de discriminación y opresión entrecruzados que caracterizan a la región, aunque se consideraren criterios de acceso, permanencia y resultados educativos co-educativos. Este trabajo busca reflexionar sobre la importancia de que los conceptos de género y coeducación pueden revisarse incluyendo la interseccionalidad de razas, etnias, clases, lenguas, orientaciones sexuales e identidades de género, desigualdades entre el sector urbano y rural, entre etapas etáreas u otras, que condicionaran las propuestas co-educativas, la igualdad en la educación y su calidad, considerando una perspectiva de descolonización y despatriarcalización.

Estrategias para educar en y para la igualdad: coeducar en los centros
Authors: Ruiz Repullo Carmen
Published: January 2018

Este artículo analiza la coeducación como modelo pedagógico que incorpora la igualdad como eje transversal, y que de manera implícita y explícita, previene las violencias que tienen como raíz el machismo, nos referimos en concreto a las violencias de género y la lgbtifobia. Un sistema educativo que en vez de fomentar un análisis crítico, reproduzca la socialización diferencial y desigual de género, no actúa activamente contra estas desigualdades. Frente al modelo androcéntrico y heteronormativo existente, la coeducación como pedagogía del aula, debe contemplar la igualdad entre los géneros pero atendiendo a la diversidad sexual y de género existente en los centros. Coeducar es construir un mundo mejor basado en la igualdad, la diversidad y el respeto, construir un mundo donde las violencias machistas no tengan cabida.
The hypolipidemic activity of ethanolic extract of seed kernel of Caesalpinia bonducella fleming on serum lipids and atherogenesis in albino rats fed with high fat diet
Authors: Sarma Gayatri , Das Swarnamoni
Published: January 2018

Background: An increase in the incidence and prevalence of hyperlipidemia in India has led to an increased demand for drugs with a lipid lowering potential. Thus, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the hypolipidemic activity of ethanolic extract of seed kernel of Caesalpinia bonducella Fleming (EESKCB) in albino rats fed with high fat diet.Methods: The extract was daily administered to healthy adult albino rats of either sex, fed with high fat diet for a period of 60 days. At the end of 60 days, i.e. on the 61st day, serum cholesterol, serum triglyceride, serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol, atherogenic index, the body weights of the rats and the serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and catalase were estimated. Phytochemical analysis of the plant extract was also carried out. For statistical analysis, the methods employed were One-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s multiple comparison test and Student’s ‘t’ test (Paired). Values of p < 0.05 were considered significant.Results: The test drug brought about significant (p<0.05) decrease in the raised levels of all the lipid parameters except the High density lipoprotein cholesterol. There was also a significant (p<0.05) increase in the serum levels of catalase and a significant (p<0.05) reduction in the serum levels of MDA in the test drug treated group. The test drug also significantly (p<0.05) inhibited the rise in body weights of the rats.Conclusions: From this study, it can be said that the seed kernel of Caesalpinia bonducella Fleming has significant hypolipidemic activity.
Qualitative features in clinical trials: coordinates for prevention of passive and active misconduct
Authors: Wajman José Roberto , Correia Marin Sheilla de Medeiros , Bertolucci Paulo Henrique Ferreira , Chaves Marcia Lorena Fagundes , Bromley Theresa
Published: January 2018

For many years, the quality concept in clinical trials has been discussed and recommended by Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. Regulatory Authorities and also the Public Involvement anticipate that the pharmaceutical industry will concentrate on creating quality frameworks amid the arranging and leading of conventions of controlled protocols. Nevertheless, many factors have been suggested as contributing to the occurrence of scientific misconduct within the research field, such as: personal and financial interests, site monitoring, available resources, workload, competition among investigators, and the implicit consent of sponsors. The negligence on data fraud represents not only omission but misconduct as well, in this case, a passive attitude intrinsically related to the act of transgression. A properly culture of research must be based on a fundamental ethos of integrity, openness and honest work of high quality in all parts of the research process. There is a need to change the focus from inspection-based quality improvement to planned systematic quality management within clinical trials. In search for a monitoring improvement, a full statistical  way to deal with information recognition comprises of executing however many measurable tests as could be allowed on whatever number clinical information factors as could be expected under varied circumstances. Adoption of specific and preventive clinical trial monitoring procedures can identify potential misconduct and data fraud leading to improvement in overall data quality and scientific reports. 
A retrospective pilot study comparing data from monitoring reports to identify staffing influence on protocol deviation rates
Authors: Jones Carolynn , Fisher Cheryl , Griffith Catherine A. , Bailey Joy , Barlow Candida , Cusack Georgie , Grinke Kathleen , Hall Kathryn E. , Keller Rosemary , Turba Elyce , Jester Penelope
Published: January 2018

Background: Clinical research sites are hiring more non-licensed personnel to coordinate clinical trials and to replace licensed nurse counterparts. Revised regulatory documents heavily emphasize research staff training and research activity delegation of authority. The Scope and Standards of Practice for Clinical Research Nursing, published by the American Nurses’ Association and based on role delineation studies for nurses, is the guidance document for clinical research nurses participating in research activities. Policy making related to research activity delegation of authority would be informed by data that correlate protocol deviation rates with licensure and education of research staff. Protocol deviations can lead to invalid clinical trial results, adverse events, and ethical concerns related to participant risk exposure. Outcome data are lacking, which directly compare frequency of protocol deviations by licensed nurse study coordinators to deviation rates of non-licensed study coordinators.

Methods: This pilot study reviewed 45 monitoring reports for 3 clinical research studies and associated research sites staffed with licensed RN study coordinators and research sites staffed with non-licensed, non-RN study coordinators to compare deviation rates related to informed consent, protocol endpoints, participant eligibility and adverse events.

Results: We identified 101 deviations. Adverse event and endpoint deviations were the highest frequency. Differences were evident in overall deviation rates; however, specific deviation comparisons failed to show statistical significance due to low sample size.  

Conclusions: This study illustrates a useful method for planning future studies using monitoring reports for deviation tracking and comparison across staffing levels.

INTRODUCCIÓN: el lupus eritematoso sistémico es una enfermedad autoinmune crónica; se presenta mayormente en mujeres en etapa reproductiva y es menos frecuente en niños. OBJETIVO: comparar las manifestaciones clínicas, comorbilidades y farmacoterapia en niños y adultos con lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES). MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: se seleccionaron 127 expedientes clínicos de pacientes con diagnóstico de LES; 36 menores de edad de un hospital pediátrico (grupo A) y 91 adultos de un hospital general (grupo B). Recolectamos información respecto a las manifestaciones clínicas al diagnóstico en los niños y adultos, así como las comorbilidades relacionadas y mortalidad, atendiendo los criterios de la American College of Rheumatology, también del tipo de medicamentos empleados. Estadísticas utilizadas: cálculo de frecuencias, porcentajes, la prueba de ji cuadrada, prueba exacta de Fisher, razón de momios e intervalos de confianza. RESULTADOS: en niños predominaron: eritema malar (p = < 0.01), vasculitis (p < 0.01), fotosensibilidad (p < 0.01), síndrome nefrítico (p < 0.01), alteraciones leucocitarias (p < 0.01), derrame pleural, anemia, derrame pericárdico, sepsis y hepatopatía; además, el número de medicamentos empleados fue mayor. En adultos predominaron: artralgia (p < 0.01), pancitopenia (p = 0.025), alopecia (p < 0.01), sinovitis (p = 0.044) y falla renal crónica (p = 0.04). Los fármacos usados en el grupo A fueron: hidroxicloroquina (p < 0.01), glucocorticoides (p = 0.14) y micofenolato (p = 0.28), la mortalidad en niños fue de 25% y en 91 adultos ocurrió en 5 (0.05%). CONCLUSIONES: las manifestaciones clínicas en niños muestran mayor lesión cutánea inicial y vasculitis, daño renal, cardiovascular, pulmonar e infecciones; en los adultos predominan afecciones articulares y falla renal crónica. Los niños reciben mayor número de fármacos y su mortalidad es mayor.

Authors: Halagalimath S. P. , Rajkumara S.
Published: January 2018

A field experiment was conducted at Irrigation Water Management Research Centre (IWMRC) Belavatgi, Navalgund taluk of Dharwad district under Vertisols during rabi 2013-15 to study the effect of irrigation and hydrogel application on chickpea varieties in Malaprabha Command area. Irrigation effects were non significant, however irrigation scheduled at 0.4 IW/CPE + 2.5 kg ha-1 hydrogel recorded higher grain yield (2136 kg ha-1) as compared to irrigation scheduled at 0.6 IW/CPE (2087 kg ha-1) and 0.4 IW/CPE (2025 kg ha-1). It also recorded significantly higher WUE (13.34 kg/ha mm) over 0.6 IW/CPE (8.15 kg/ha mm). Among the varieties ‘JG-11’ recorded significantly higher grain yields (2309 kg ha-1) over other varieties, however they did not affect the WUE. Interaction effect of irrigation levels and varieties was significant for grain yield and WUE. ‘A-1’, ‘JG-11’ and ‘JAKI-9218’ varieties with 2.5 kg ha-1 hydrogel recorded significantly higher WUE and were on par. ‘JG-11’ variety with 0.6 IW/CPE recorded higher gross returns (Rs. 92660/ha), net returns (Rs. 69800/ha) and B:C ratio (3.05).

Fusarium wilt (FW) is a major fungal disease of pigeonpea causing huge economic losses annually and breeding of FW resistant cultivars is essential as other control measures such as fungicides are expensive and harmful to environment. To understand the inheritance of FW resistance, nine populations each of F1, F2 and BCSF1 (F1 × susceptible parent) derived from crossing between three adopted but susceptible long duration pigeonpea cultivars (MA-6, MAL-13 and MAL-18) with three FW resistant lines (BSMR-846, BWR-23 and BDN-2029). All F1 plants were resistant to FW indicating the dominance of resistance. The ÷2 test for goodness-of-fit showed F2 segregation ratio of 13:3 (one dominant and one recessive), 15:1 (two dominant genes) and 3:1 (one dominant gene) in BSMR-846, BWR-23 and BDN-2029, respectively. The information generated on the genetics of FW resistance will be helpful in development of high yielding and stable wilt resistant, long duration pigeonpea varieties.
A Case Report: Balance Training with Virtual Reality in Patients with Bilateral Peripheral Vestibulopathy
Authors: Huzmeli Esra Dogru
Published: January 2018

The use of computerised imaging technologies in vestibular rehabilitation is a new concept. We aimed to examine the effects of virtual reality in a bilateral vestibulopathy patient. The subject was a 22-year old male patient. The bilateral semi-circular channels of patient were ossified, which showed advanced stage sensorineural hearing loss. Balance was analysed with Berg balance Scale (BBS), state of balanced feeling with visual analogue scale (VAS), and daily living activities with the activitiesspecific balance confidence scale (ABC). The scales were applied before and after treatment. The patient’s balance was treated with virtual reality for 18 sessions, after which the patient was feeling his balance better. The patient’s VAS score before rehabilitation was 5 and later it was 7. The ABC scores changed from 60 to 90. The BBS score was 51 before rehabilitation and later it was 56. Balance rehabilitation was successful in bilateral vestibulopathy. Keywords: Bilateral vestibulopathy, virtual reality, balance, vertigo.
The effects of philosophic components on nursing education
Authors: Conoglu Gulsum
Published: January 2018

Historically, the basis of the knowledge called as education philosophy has been based on understanding the components of philosophy defined as metaphysics, epistemology and axiology by Greeks. Philosophy is a value system required in relieving of scientific nursing knowledge. The values and beliefs in the education program developed provide suitability, shape and consistency for a program. Organizations providing nursing education should define philosophy clearly during developing and implementing of an education program. While doing this, they should take into consideration organizationâ€™s values, personal beliefs of lecturers as well as many social and political factors. Consequently, the philosophy that forms the basis of curriculum and necessary for revealing the scientific nursing information has been based on metaphysics to understand the culture, the real and the existent; on epistemology to question what and how we know; on axiology constituents for our values that distinguish the good from bad.  Keywords: Nursing education; philosophy; components of philosophy.
Evaluating Options For The Regulation Of Payday Loans
Authors: Anderson Michael H. , Jackson Raymond
Published: January 2018

This study discusses regulatory options that federal and state legislatures might consider for the payday loan industry. These options include outright prohibition; restricting the implicit annual percentage interest rate; limiting the amount per loan; limiting the number of concurrent loans; setting lower and upper limits on contract length; and defining the waiting period between loans. While other studies examining the payday loan industry have relied on user survey data or data from a specific lender, this study utilizes data collected by the administrative agent for all payday loan activity in several states, including Florida, Illinois, and Oklahoma. A comparison of key empirical results derived from the differing regulatory environments in these states provides guidance to those who consider imposing further regulation. The current regulatory constraints have resulted in a relatively low default rate, a high rate of loan denial, and a troubling industry reliance on the frequent borrower. An analytical framework is suggested for understanding the motivations of the low and high frequency borrowers.
ИНТЕРДИСЦИПЛИНАРНИ ПРИСТУП ПИСМЕНИМ САСТАВИМА У НАСТАВИ ЈЕЗИЧКЕ КУЛТУРЕ

С обзиром на изузетан значај који у циљу подизања нивоа језичке културе има писмено изражавање, у овом раду пажња ће бити усмерена на интердисциплинарни приступ писменом саставу као најважнијем и основном начину којим се ова настава спроводи и проверава. Иако настава културе писменог изражавања има законски регулисане циљеве, у пракси је примећено да њиховом достизању постојећи методички приступи не доприносе на задовољавајући начин. У настави писменог изражавања примена приступа који се користе у реторици, анализи дискурса и лингвистици текста, могла би допринети оспособљавању ученика да различите врсте текстова разумеју и производе у складу са потребама савременог живота и друштва.
АУТЕНТИЧНОСТ ТЕКСТОВА У НАСТАВИ СРПСКОГ КАО СТРАНОГ ЈЕЗИКА НА ВИШИМ НИВОИМА УЧЕЊА
Authors: Перишић Јелена Р.
Published: January 2018

Веома битан елемент сваког курса страног језика представља уџбеник, а његов неизоставан део, поред најразличитијих типова задатака, чине текстови. Поставља се питање у којој мери ти текстови треба да буду аутентични, као и то да ли је неопходно да се међусобно разликују у погледу врсте, односно типа којем припадају. Циљ овог рада јесте провера валидности изабраних текстова према параметру аутентичности, тј. функционално-стилског домена. У складу са постављеним циљем, регистроваће се постојеће стање у уџбенику за српски језик као страни Научимо српски 2, као и захтеви изнети у релевантној консултованој литератури и Заједничком европском оквиру, на основу чега ће бити извршена анализа корпуса, регистроване доминантне особине и евентуални недостаци. На самом крају ће се дати и предлог корекције, односно допуне текстова у посматраном уџбенику.
