Authors: GÜL Hasan Sami , ARMAĞAN Hamit Hakan , KARAMAN Kivanç , TOMRUK Önder
Published: February 2019

Objective: Trauma is one of the main causes of deaths throughout the world. Falls,
a type of trauma, is considered among blunt traumas and rank 2nd after traffic accidents.
In our study, we aimed to provide data that would offer insights for preventive
programs that would be implemented in the future, by determining the demographic
characteristics and results of trauma patients with a history of falling who had
presented to the emergency department of our hospital.Material
and Method: A total of 1433 cases of falls who presented
to the emergency department between January 2016 and May 2017 due to a fall were
evaluated retrospectively, and their demographic characteristics were presented.
The cases’ gender, age, nature of injury, affected body part, and discharge/hospitalization status parameters
were considered. Chi-square analysis was utilized during statistical comparisons
of categorical variables, and descriptive statistics were presented in frequencies
(%). p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Of the 1433 cases who were included in the study, 836 (58.3%) were male,
and the mean age of all cases was calculated as 30.7 (±25.4) years. When the distribution
of the cases into age groups was examined, the maximum number of patients presenting
was 559 (39%) in the 0–18-year-old age group. It was found that 307 (21.4%) of the
1433 cases were admitted to a clinic, and that the mean age of the admitted cases,
43.57 (±29.4), was higher than that of the discharged cases (p<.001). The maximum
hospitalization rate among the age groups was 115 (45.3%) patients in the group
with patients over 60 years of age. When the nature of injury of the cases were
examined, it was seen that the group of people falling from the same level constituted
the highest number of patients, 834 (58.2%) people. Considering the body parts affected
by a fall, the maximum number of injuries involved 599 (41.8%) patients with an
extremity injury. And, considering the hospitalization rates, the rate of hospitalization
of multi-trauma patients with a 52.6% hospitalization rate was calculated as the
highest rate.

Conclusion: In order to reduce cases of falls that constitute
a significant portion of traumas, it is emphasized that it is necessary to raise
awareness of the community in this regard, to train emergency medicine physicians,
and to take preventive measures for circumstances that can be prevented.

Board gender diversity and earnings quality. Evidence from the Latin American integrated market (MILA)
Authors: Perafán Peña Héctor Fabio
Published: February 2019

Board gender diversity is an issue of recent interest in corporate finance research. Nonetheless, there are too few studies about the influence of female directors on earnings quality in the developed markets. This situation is not better for emerging markets, where, except for China, studies like this are almost nonexistent. Consequently, this paper sheds light on the relationship between board gender diversity and earnings quality in Latin America, focusing on the listed firms in Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Colombia, which integrate the Latin American Integrated Market (Mercado Integrado Latino Americano or MILA in Spanish). With a data-panel of 361 observations from the period between 2002 and 2014, this work performs OLS regressions that indicate the existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between board gender diversity and earnings manipulation, after controlling for other variables such as size, leverage, ROA, operating cash flow, accounting losses, and industry. Furthermore, results indicate the existence of a minimum level of female directors, 30.8% of board members, from which more board gender diversity leads to higher earnings quality.

The proposed model is the version of well-known biomass production model 3-PG (Physiological Principles Predicting Growth), which allows for calculation of biomass production in dependence of consumed soil nitrogen and available solar radiation. The model utilizes the concept of modifiers, i.e. functions describing the effect of tree age and environmental factors (air temperature and humidity, soil moisture, carbon dioxide concentration) on productivity. To make the model applicable to mixed forests of European Russia, the substantial modifications were implemented. In particular, more detailed response functions to air temperature, soil moisture and absorbed nitrogen were introduced. We also implemented new procedure of calculation of light use efficiency taking into account the difference between shade-tolerant and shade-intolerant tree species. The rank distribution equation was used for the description of an increment allocation to different tree biomass compartments. Model parameters were estimated for the 12 most common tree species of European Russia. The model was implemented as sub-routine for calculation of biomass production in forest ecosystem model EFIMOD 2. The model performance was tested against the wide range of environmental conditions.

SOCIO-POLITICAL LITERATURE OF THE 1920'S ON THE “KORENIZATION” OF NATIONAL MINORITIES IN THE UKRAINIAN SSR
Authors: Kolesnyk V.
Published: February 2019

The article analyses the process, how the socio-political literature of the 1920s presented the Bolshevik policy of so-called “korenization” (supporting development of indigenous cultures) of national communities on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR. The Bolsheviks skillfully made use of national, ethnic, linguistic and cultural factors for their authority’s consolidation and gaining support among all national communities of the USSR, including ethnic minorities in particular Soviet republics. In the socio-political literature of the 1920's both goals of that policy and its practical implementation were propagated. Even the party’s and state’s leaders could be authors of publications on this subject, together with officials directly implementing above mentioned policy, members of the People's Commissariat for Education of the Ukrainian SSR, and publicists. The publications were based on Marxist ideology and on party programme and other documents of the Bolshevik Party related to the national question. At the same time, those documents contained materials illustrating the practice of “korenization” policy, including so-called "Soviet construction" among national minorities, national-territorial administration, creation of national, cultural-educational institutions, elimination of illiteracy among ethnic groups and minorities, activity of “village (cultural) houses”, reading-houses, clubs and libraries, as well as publication of newspapers and magazines in the languages ​​of national minorities, preparation of national cadres, and, finally, successes and difficulties of “korenization”. However, the socio-political literature considered the temporary "national-cultural autonomy" of national minorities through the prism of the "cultural revolution", treating such policy as an important component of the plan for building socialism.
THE INFLUENCE OF ANTIQUITY ON THE VIEWS FORMATION AND ACTIVITY OF THOMAS JEFFERSON
Authors: Bazaieva M.
Published: February 2019

The article is dedicated to the influence of antiquity on the formation of Thomas Jefferson’s system of philosophical, political, scientific and artistic views. Specificity of philosophical and cultural space of Europe and North America is considered, as well as conditions of education and personal development of Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson’s works are analyzed, direct citations and references to antique philosophers and writers are noted, likewise political ideas of Thomas Jefferson, that are grounded on antique history. Tendency to identification antique history, philosophy and literature as sample and guidance in publicistic and literary works of Thomas Jefferson is pointed out. In the article are revised influences of antiquity on the following spheres of Thomas Jefferson’s activity: organization of education, law, governance, architecture. In the educational development Thomas Jefferson propagated broad studying of antique history and classical languages that might be the basis for education and personality development. Antique examples were the foundation of Thomas Jefferson’s ideas about citizenship, nation and slavery, principles of the classical republicanism and organization of public administration are grounded on the same samples. Thomas Jefferson’s personal ambivalence in the questions of patriotism as dualism in relations “citizen of the state – citizen of the USA” is noted. Some attention is paid to the architectural works of Thomas Jefferson. He followed the best antique masterpieces in his own architectural projects and laid the foundation of American classicism in the architecture of 19th century.

Authors: Volik N.
Published: February 2019

The study focuses on the first half of the 20th century Basilian fathers and Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate missions in Canada and the people behind those missions. The study explains that despite the zeal, knowledge, and dedication of the missionaries, the Basilian and Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate missions in Canada were not organized, and were not particularly trained in missions. But their work during 1902–1925 between Ukrainian immigrants from Galicia helped to stop the processes of assimilation and transferring to the Churches that were widespread in Canada.

Brodograđevna industrija spada u jedne od najkompleksnijih proizvodnih industrija. Dugi niz godina se nastoji postići optimalna proizvodnja, sa minimalnim gubicima i maksimalnim rezultatima konačnog proizvoda-broda. Da bi se omogućio takav pristup proizvodnji potrebno je redovito modernizirati proizvodne procese u brodogradilištu tj. biti u toku sa svjetskim trendovima u proizvodnji broda. Ulaganje u unapređenje proizvodnih linija je ključan i primaran potez za postizanje ušteda. U svijetu industrije je zavladao trend težnje za automatizacijom i robotizacijom proizvodnih pogona iz razloga jer još uvijek nije postignut željeni i zadovoljavaći stupanj automatizacije/robotizacije. Iz tog razloga većina brodogradilišta je u stadiju djelomično automatiziranih i robotiziranih pogona radi čega je još uvijek vrlo veliki postotak prisutnosti ljudske radne snage. U ovom članku će se osvrnuti na nedostatke proizvodnog procesa promatranog brodgradilišta sa ciljem davanja uvida u mogućnost optimiziranja predmontažne faze gradnje broda.

Fine Particulate Matter from Ship Emissions in the Port of Rijeka, Croatia
Authors: Ivošević Tatjana , Orlić Ivica , Čargonja Marija
Published: February 2019

The impact of ship emissions on air pollution in harbours is probably one of the lesser-understood aspects of anthropogenic pollution. Vessels are often powered by relatively old engines and at the
same time quality of fuels is often questionable. These factors have potential to significant increase air pollution in busy harbours. It is well know that V/Ni ratio higher than 2.5 are good indicators of
heavy oil combustion from the ship engines. To evaluate this contribution to the air pollution in the harbour of Rijeka we measured concentrations of V and Ni in fine aerosols (PM2.5).
Over the 300 fine aerosol samples were collected during the three years period (February 2012 – June 2015) and analyzed by two analytical techniques; X-ray Fluorescence and Laser Integrated Plate
Method at the Laboratory for Elemental-Micro Analysis (Department of Physics University of Rijeka). Concentrations of 18 elements (Si to Pb) were obtained as well as the black carbon (BC) component. The results were statistically evaluated by means of the positive matrix factorization. In nearly 15% of samples, concentration ratio (V/Ni) was found to be around 3 indicating that during those days the source that we named “ship emission” was present in fine aerosol pollution with major components such as S, BC and traces K, V, Fe, Cl, Br, Pb and Ni. This anthropogenic source represented approximately 10% from the total fine aerosol mass.

Published: February 2019

Učinci onečišćenja i klimatskih promjena nadmašuju rezilijentnost mora i oceana, pa su europska mora ugrožena povećanjem temperature i zakiseljavanjem. Zakiseljavanje mora koje se ocjenjuje jednom od najtežih i najizravnijih planetarnih prijetnji je posljedica rastućih koncentracija ugljičnog dioksida. U poštivanju načela predostrožnosti, rješenje je u trenutnom smanjenju ispuštanja ugljičnog dioksida. Samo proizvodnja električne energije značajno utječe na globalne emisije ugljičnog dioksida jer se najviše oslanja na ugljen, ugljično najintenzivnije fosilno gorivo. Autorice u radu daju pregled relevantnih istraživanja o tranziciji na obnovljive izvore uz prijedlog rješenja prihvata energije iz potencijalno brojnih obnovljivih izvora u elektroenergetsku mrežu u Republici Hrvatskoj.

Published: February 2019

The trend in modern sea transportation is building of ever larger ships, which require application of different direct calculation methodologies and numerical tools to achieve their reliable structural design. This is particularly emphasized in case of ultra large container ships (ULCS), but also other ship types like bulk carriers or large LNG ships belong to this category. In this context some classification societies have developed guidelines for performing direct calculations and for that purpose there are several hydro-structure tools available around the world, mainly relying on the same theoretical assumptions, but having incorporated different numerical procedures. Such tools are mostly based on the application of the 3D potential flow theoretical models coupled with the 3D FEM structural models. This paper illustrates application of general hydro-structure tool HOMER (BV) in the assessment of ship structural response in waves. An outline of the numerical procedure based on the modal approach is given together with basic software description. Application case is 19000 TEU ULCS built in South Korean shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries. Extensive hydroelastic analyses of the ship are performed, and here some representative results for fatigue response with linear springing influence are listed.
Ships’ Solutions for meeting the International requirements regarding the reduction of Air Pollution
Authors: Nižić Franjo , Frančić Vlado , Orović Josip
Published: February 2019

Large quantities of harmful substances, gases and particles are released from the ships into the air. This leads to many unwanted chemical processes having a harmful effect on the entire planet and on the human health as well. In most cases, these processes result in ozone depletion, acid rain, global warming, appearance of dermatological and respiratory diseases and other undesirable impacts on the entire ecosystem. Aiming to reduce the adverse impact on the environment, the international maritime community has decided to regulate and set rigorous requirements for ships by introducing and implementing the Annex 6 of the MARPOL Convention. On the bases of these requirements, ships and their owners will be subjected to more stringent conditions that are primarily related to adjustment of existing ships’ engines and/or the use of environmentally friendly fuels. This paper analyses air pollution deriving from ships in general and its negative effects on the atmosphere. It also presents possible methods and solutions of adapting ships to new and more stringent requirements as well as the advantages and disadvantages of relevant technical solution

Authors: Silveira Carlos Frederico Gurgel Calvet da , Pereira da Rosa Thiago Leite Cabrera
Published: February 2019

Segundo Jacques Maritain, o destino dos direitos humanos depende da educação para a participação na vida pública. Esta convicção depende de uma visão bem estabelecida sobre a educação em geral. Embora os fins da educação se subordinem aos fins da pessoa humana, a formação para a vida social pertence à essência da educação. Aqui se insere a educação para os direitos humanos. O objetivo desta investigação consiste exatamente nisto: evidenciar o lugar essencial que os direitos humanos têm na educação consoantes os princípios de Maritain, assim como mostrar sua subordinação à condição espiritual da pessoa humana, isto é, à sua liberdade espiritual. O confronto dos textos sobre educação e sobre direitos humanos do próprio Maritain foi o percurso metodológico adotado aqui. Seu resultado é o evidenciamento da conquista filosófica de Maritain em favor de uma educação para os direitos humanos sempre que promotora da liberdade espiritual pessoal do indivíduo.

Comparison between the auditory lateralization ability of normal hearing elderly and youth with filtered noise
Authors: Lotfi Yones , Bastami Maryam , Dastgerdi Zahra Hosseini , Bakhshi Enayatollah
Published: February 2019

Background and Aim: Aging affects the audi­tory lateralization function that is achieved thr­ough processing binaural cues. One of the most important benefits of this process, along with getting informed of sound location, is increasing signal to noise ratio and improvement of speech comprehension in crowded environments, which is one of the most common hearing complaints in the elderly. This study aimed to compare the performance of the lateralization function under the headphone conditions between the elderly and the youth, with a filtered noise stimulus.
Methods: This study was performed between 22 elderly aged 60−80 and 22 young people aged 20−30. The auditory threshold was less than 25 dB HL in 250 to 4000 Hz frequencies in both groups. By applying a time delay of −880 to +880 microsecond and the intensity differe­nce of −10 to +10 dB between the two ears, and with high-pass and low-pass noise stimulus, the lateralization function was examined. For descr­iption of the lateralization function, scatter diag­ram and in order to compare the results, paired t-test and independent t-test were used. Results: Findings showed that the elderly's err­ors were increased in all tests compared to those 
of the youth group. There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two groups in lateralization by time clues with low-pass and high-pass noise.
Conclusion: Results confirm the impairment of the lateralization and processing of binaural cues in the elderly differently.

Authors: Bayraktar Duygu Mutlu , Bayram Servet
Published: February 2019

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the change blindness that may occur in multimedia learning environments used cueing and signaling effects. For this purpose, a multimedia animation which had some changes about computer parts was designed. Twenty-one undergraduate students participated in the experiment voluntarily. Eye and mouse movements were recorded and analysed with eye-tracking method, and participants were asked to say when they noticed the changes; their voices were simultaneously recorded. The results show that the participants were more focused on the objects being signaled, and less detected the changes in other areas. It is seen that the percentage of detecting the change occurring on the most focused object is low, except for the object using the signaling and visual cueing. The change in the object that was used the signaling and the visual cueing is the most detected change.Keywords: Multimedia learning, change blindness, eye tracking.

Respuesta ovulatoria y embrionaria a la somatotropina bovina recombinante en cabras superovuladas con FSHp
Authors: Sánchez Dávila Fernando
Published: February 2019

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el efecto de la somatotropina bovina recombinante (rBST) en la actividad ovárica, cantidad y calidad de embriones transferibles en cabras durante el anestro estacional. Se utilizaron 30 cabras multíparas sincronizadas con protocolo corto de CIDR y superovuladas con FSHp, asignadas a tres tratamientos (n = 10): T1 = control, sin rBST, T2 = 100 mg rBST y T3 = 200 mg rBST. Las variables cuantitativas se analizaron mediante prueba de Kruskal-Wallis; el porcentaje de estro y de embriones recuperados, mediante prueba de Chi - cuadrada. Las cabras del T3 tuvieron mayor número de CL, seguidas del T2 (p = 0.002). El número de embriones recuperados y de blastocitos fue mayor en T3 (p = 0.001). El número de mórulas fue mayor en T1 (p = 0.001). La aplicación de rBST al inicio del estro incrementa la actividad ovárica y la cantidad de embriones transferibles en cabras.

Authors: Lagunes Quintanilla Rodolfo Esteban
Published: February 2019

El objetivo del estudio fue utilizar estrategias bioinformáticas para predecir propiedades de interés del gen subolesina, así como realizar construcciones filogenéticas para identificar la relación que existe entre los aislados geográficos de garrapatas reportados en el mundo. El gen subolesina presenta 98 % de identidad entre los diferentes aislados de garrapatas R. microplus, mientras que, entre diferentes géneros (Ixodes spp., Amblyomma spp., Hyalomma spp.) fue de 77 %. Se detectaron 4 epítopos lineales de células B conservados en diferentes especies de garrapatas. El análisis de la estructura secundaria de la proteína Subolesina mostró dos α-hélices, tres regiones inespecíficas (coil) y ninguna β plegada. De los epítopos predichos, será útil demostrar su capacidad inmunoprotectora contra cepas de garrapatas R. microplus de diferentes aislados geográficos; si las regiones sugeridas son inmunogénicas, podrían ser utilizadas para el desarrollo de un inmunógeno efectivo contra poblaciones de garrapatas R. microplus.

Authors: Kouamo Justin , Zangue Camille Teitsa , Zoli André Pagnah
Published: February 2019

L’étude, menée à l’abattoir municipal de Ngaoundéré, région de l’Adamaoua au Cameroun, visait à évaluer la population folliculaire et la qualité des ovocytes des vaches zébus locales en anœstrus anovulatoire. Sur 496 voies génitales examinées, 145 (29,2 %) présentaient un anœstrus anovulatoire. Le nombre moyen de follicules était de 37,5 ± 25,2 par vache. Le nombre de petits, moyens et grands follicules par vache était respectivement de 21,7 ± 18,7, 14,9 ± 12,1 et 0,9 ± 1,1. Les populations folliculaires des vaches cycliques ou en anœstrus anovulatoire étaient respectivement de 29,1 ± 18,1 et 41,9 ± 27,3 (p < 0,05). Le nombre d’ovocytes par vache était respectivement de 15,5 ± 4,5 et 15,6 ± 3,8 (p > 0,05) chez les vaches cycliques et en anœstrus anovulatoire. Le nombre d’ovocytes de grades I, II, III et IV était respectivement de 4,5 ± 4,1 (28,5 %), 4,1 ± 3,7 (26,2 %), 2,3 ± 2,4 (14,8 %) et 4,8 ± 5,6 (30,5 %). Cette étude a montré que l’anœstrus anovulatoire avait tendance à augmenter la population folliculaire mais n’avait aucun effet sur le nombre d’ovocytes récoltés. Le nombre d’ovocytes de grades I et II utilisables pour la maturation in vitro était significativement plus faible chez les vaches en anœstrus anovulatoire que chez les vaches cycliques (p < 0,05).

Published: February 2019

Amplamente utilizadas nas civilizações do passado, as construções vernáculas com terra foram substituídas por técnicas e materiais industrializados em decorrência dos avanços tecnológicos do setor da construção civil para suprir as exigências dos usuários modernos. Em vista dos impactos ambientais oriundos dessa substituição, têm-se buscado alternativas construtivas inspiradas nessas antigas construções, uma vez que o material está disponível no próprio local e não se incorpora processos de queima na sua produção. Assim sendo, o objetivo principal deste artigo é evidenciar as potencialidades das edificações com terra no contexto atual, sob a perspectiva da história, da técnica e da contemporaneidade, com ênfase na taipa de mão. Utilizou-se a metodologia de revisão sistemática da literatura, considerando publicações de língua portuguesa e inglesa, em uma janela temporal de 20 anos. Os resultados apresentam uma classificação dos sistemas construtivos com terra no panorama mundial e um destaque para o registro histórico e mapeamento da taipa de mão no Nordeste, Centro-Oeste e Sudeste brasileiro, assim como suas potencialidades no cenário atual. Como contribuição, discutem-se vantagens e desvantagens da taipa de mão, apontando aspectos técnicos que precisam ser incorporados para que se torne uma alternativa viável para construções sustentáveis.

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar os resultados de uma pesquisa que busca desenvolver simulações para auxiliar arquitetos e urbanistas a planejar intervenções em espaços livres. Este documento contém os métodos utilizados para coletar dados de dinâmica do usuário em espaços abertos e fechados, os padrões observados durante o processo de coleta de dados e um protótipo de uma simulação implementada usando uma biblioteca de agentes autônomos no ambiente de desenvolvimento Processing. Durante a pesquisa são estudadas as dinâmicas humanas em átrios de edifícios de sala de aula e nos espaços livres próximos ao Restaurante Universitário da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.   As simulações, inicialmente desenvolvidas em duas dimensões, possibilitam modificar a dinâmica dos agentes pela inserção de novos objetos em um cenário inicial e pela alteração de parâmetros ambientais, tais como, temperatura umidade, ou situações de céu coberto ou encoberto. A simulação apresentada neste trabalho foca na formação de diferentes grupos de pessoas, o fluxo espacial do usuário e o comportamento em relação a outros objetos presentes em um espaço livre, tais como árvores e bancos.  Os resultados desta pesquisa nos ajudarão a desenvolver ferramentas para prever como os padrões de comportamento humano em espaços livres e ajudar estudantes a desenvolver uma compreensão de como pequenas intervenções podem mudar a dinâmica de um lugar.

Published: February 2019

Background: The burden of hospital readmission after stroke is substantial, but little knowledge exists on factors associated with long-term readmission after stroke. In a cohort comprising patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA), we examined and compared factors associated with readmission within 1 year and first readmission during year 2-5.
Methods: Patients with ischemic stroke or TIA who were discharged alive between July 2007 and October 2012, were followed for five years by review of medical charts. Timing and cause of the first unplanned readmission were registered. Cox regression was used to identify independent risk factors for readmission within 1 year and first readmission during year 2-5 after discharge.
Results: The cohort included 1453 patients, of whom 568 (39.1%) were readmitted within 1 year. Of the 830 patients that were alive and without readmission 1 year after discharge, 439 (52.9%) were readmitted within 5 years. Patients readmitted within 1 year were older, had more severe strokes, poorer functional outcome, and a higher occurrence of complications during index admission than patients readmitted during years 2-5. Cardiovascular comorbidity did not differ between the two groups of readmitted patients. Higher age, poorer functional outcome, coronary artery disease and hypertension were independently associated with first readmission within both 1 year and during year 2-5. Peripheral artery disease was independently associated with readmission within 1 year, and atrial fibrillation was associated with first readmission during year 2-5.
Conclusions: More than half of all patients who survived the first year after stroke without any readmissions were readmitted within 5 years. Patients readmitted within 1 year and between years 2-5 shared many risk factors for readmission, but they differed in age, functional outcome and occurrence of complications during the index admission.
