Is It Time to Change the Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Paradigm? Yes! GLP-1 RAs Should Replace Metformin in the Type 2 Diabetes Algorithm
Authors: Abdul-Ghani Muhammad , DeFronzo Ralph A.
Published: July 2017

Most treatment guidelines, including those from the American Diabetes Association/European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the International Diabetes Federation, suggest metformin be used as the first-line therapy after diet and exercise. This recommendation is based on the considerable body of evidence that has accumulated over the last 30 years, but it is also supported on clinical grounds based on metformin’s affordability and tolerability. As such, metformin is the most commonly used oral antihyperglycemic agent in the U.S. However, based on the release of newer agents over the recent past, some have suggested that the modern approach to disease management should be based upon identification of its etiology and correcting the underlying biological disturbances. That is, we should use interventions that normalize or at least ameliorate the recognized derangements in physiology that drive the clinical manifestation of disease, in this circumstance, hyperglycemia. Thus, it is argued that therapeutic interventions that target glycemia but do not correct the underlying pathogenic disturbances are unlikely to result in a sustained benefit on the disease process. In our field, there is an evolving debate regarding the suggested first step in diabetes management and a call for a new paradigm. Given the current controversy, we provide a Point-Counterpoint debate on this issue. In the point narrative below that precedes the counterpoint narrative, Drs. Abdul-Ghani and DeFronzo provide their argument that a treatment approach for type 2 diabetes based upon correcting the underlying pathophysiological abnormalities responsible for the development of hyperglycemia provides the best therapeutic strategy. Such an approach requires a change in the recommendation for first-line therapy from metformin to a GLP-1 receptor agonist. In the counterpoint narrative that follows Drs. Abdul-Ghani and DeFronzo’s contribution, Dr. Inzucchi argues that, based on the medical community’s extensive experience and the drug’s demonstrated efficacy, safety, low cost, and cardiovascular benefits, metformin should remain the “foundation therapy” for all patients with type 2 diabetes, barring contraindications.

Application of FTA and SPAR-H Method to Control Work Accident at PG. Krebet Baru
Authors: Wijaya Yedija Prasetya , Noya Sunday Alexander Theophilus
Published: July 2017

This research is conducted because a high number of accidents occured during the workplace in PG. Krebet Baru. There were about 45 accidentsin 2013 and 32 out of 45 accidentscame from the Maintenance Division.  This research is needed for the purpose of decreasing the number of accidents. The methods used in this research are hierarchycal task analysis (HTA), standarized plant risk analysishuman reliability assessment (SPAR-H), and fault tree analysis (FTA). In this research, there are 4 stations. They are milling station, purification, maturation, and spinning. Based on this research, there are 5 accidents. They are damaged muscle, damaged bone, graze, damaged eye, and injuries from a fall. Based on this research, it can be concluded that the workplace conditions and the lack of worker awareness on the importance of protective equipment usage are the main causes of these work accidents. Based on these causes, the suitable solution is to change several work methods and instruct the workers about using protective equipment.
Slow breathing has unequal effects on prehypertensives from different ethnic/racial groups
Authors: Shekh Vera Evgenievna
Published: July 2017

In this study, we investigated whether slow breathing reduces blood pressure (BP) in individuals at risk of developing hypertension and if slow breathing has the same effect on Caucasian, African, Arabian and Indian subjects. Also we assessed ethnic/racial differences in low frequency (LF) power and high frequency (HF) power of heart rate variability (HRV). A total of 40 Caucasian men from Ukraine, 39 West African men mostly from Nigeria, 38 Arabic men from Palestine and Israel and 41 South Asian men from India studying at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University were recruited in this study. The subjects were further classified into normotensive and prehypertensive groups. Heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), LF power, HF power of HRV were recorded at spontaneous breathing and at paced breathing of 10 and 6 breaths per minute. It was found that slowing respiratory rate to 6 breaths per minute reduces SBP in prehypertensive Caucasians, Arabs, Indians, but not in Africans. At 6 breaths per minute, natural logarithm of HF (LnHF) power indicating cardiovagal activity was less in normotensive Arabs than in Caucasians, Africans and Indians possibly suggesting an increased risk of developing hypertension; while prehypertensive Africans demonstrated LnHF power higher than Arabs and Indians. When covariates like age and body mass index (BMI) were considered, prehypertensive Africans demonstrated LnHF power higher than in Caucasians also. It is suggested that in prehypertensive Africans the control of autonomic nervous activity is reset to a higher level of parasympathetic outflow.
Exercise and the cytokines-interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α): A review
Authors: Vijayaraghava Ambarish , Doreswamy Venkatesh
Published: July 2017

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were one of the first few cytokines to be discovered. The normative data for levels of cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α in particular and all other cytokines in general have not yet been established well. The normal levels for each of the cytokines vary from one race to another. Therefore, all studies need to be done in cases and controls belonging to the same race or same populations. The kits for cytokine assays are expensive and running the assays is laborious and time consuming. It is recommended that the serum/plasma samples are run in duplicates and triplicates to avoid error. Immunology and the field of cytokines is an area which has many domains unexplored. As yet, it is not clearly understood by what mechanisms and pathways each of the cytokines alter the levels of other cytokines. Exercise or physical activity is an intervention which can be administered easily and levels of cytokines measured before and after intervention in same individuals taking all the above mentioned factors into consideration. Hence it is imperative that we look into studies on exercise and cytokines to do further research in the field of cytokines.

Published: July 2017

The CO2 levels present in the atmosphere are growing everyday, affecting consequently the global warming. One of the main reasons for this fact is due to the combustion of fossil fuels used in the electrical energy production in the stationary sector. Public awareness aims improved energy efficiency of the electricity generation systems, as well as new systems allowing the energy conservation and the decrease or even no emission of pollutant to the atmosphere.
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells appear as devices capable of producing electricity with no pollutant emissions but only water.
This document presents a preliminary modeling of a PEM fuel cell stack based on the experimental curves obtained at a laboratory test. Not only the static model but the dynamic response of the stack will be estimated through different mathematical approximations. The purpose of the model is to design a tool suitable for predicting the fuel cell behaviour.

Published: July 2017

The deregulation of the electric energy market and the difficulties related to distribution network such as the congestion, the increasing growth of the installed power density in urban zones, the growth of the delivery-provided energy and the spectacular increase that the peak power experiences are new problems to be faced by the utility engineers. So, the knowledge of the load behaviour is becoming more and more important in the planning and operation of the electric energy distribution network.
In this paper, the influence of domestic air conditioning equipment, one of the most energy consuming domestic loads in Spain, in the electrical energy distribution network is addressed. The research is focused on analysis of the voltage supply effects on the operation of home air condition appliances, from a theoretical point of view. Some load models of the domestic air conditioning appliances as electrical load are considered.

When is a journalist not a journalist? Negotiating a new form of advocacy journalism within the environmental movement
Authors: Vine Phil
Published: July 2017

Commentary: A New Zealand broadcast journalist of 25 years’ experience comes under fire from former colleagues after joining the environmental campaigning organisation Greenpeace. The ensuing criticism provides insight into how the mainstream media views itself and how sensitive it might be to any perceived threat to its credibility. It opens up an argument about what constitutes a ‘journalist’ in a contemporary context.  A troubling epoch for journalists facing tight newsroom budgets, news trivialisation, fragmented media spheres and dwindling public confidence in the profession. This commentary examines the argument for new terminology to describe the kind of investigative journalism which might be practised within non-government organisations (NGOs) for a mainly digital audience. It also challenges views on objectivity and bias, positing whether advocacy journalism with strict ethical guidelines produced from within an organisation with a known agenda, may serve the public interest more ably than a fragmented mainstream journalism compromised by less obvious biases.

ASPECTS RELATED TO THE INTERPRETATION OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT AT OPERATIONAL LEVEL
Authors: KALAMAR Norbert , TÖRÖK Zoltán
Published: July 2017

With the transformation of the disaster management system in Hungary also the alerting system has changed fundamentally. The alerting and deployment nowadays is based totally on informational systems. The deployment of special-purpose trucks in disaster management interventions is often wrongly associated with the words “special” or “extraordinary” by the public, media or even within the disaster management system. In order to clarify the situation, it is important to define the circumstances when special-purpose trucks are deployed in a mission. The authors start with the description of ordinary fire interventions, requiring less forces and resources, and gradually arrives to the interventions with special-purpose trucks, exemplified with case studies. Furthermore, the factors that classify alerts as rescue situations requiring special interventions are also analysed. The paper highlights how the effectiveness of rescue activities can be increased starting with the alert and continued by the intervention. The paper offers insight into the alarm levels and special rescue activities and describes which events demand special-purpose units at the site.

Published: July 2017

The potential for pesticide soil contamination is a worldwide concern, due to the intensive use of organochlorine compounds. The use of pesticides has offered significant economic benefits by increasing the production of food and preventing different form of diseases, therefore their use has affected not only the health of human population, but the environment as well. Organochlorine pesticides like Aldrin, Chlordane, DDT, Dieldrin, Endrin and Heptachlor have been banned after the 2001 Stockholm convention. That is why many jurisdictions try to control human exposure by specifying the soil’s maximum allowable concentration. 12 soil samples were collected from different parts of Romania, aiming to evaluate the organochlorine concentration in order to study if the soils have been treated with this type of pesticides. Each sample was dried, extracted with hexane by ultrasonication and analyzed by GC-ECD. The results of the analyzed samples showed low concentrations, ranging between 28.36 and 73.19 μg/kg. The most identified compounds were Alpha HCH, Beta HCH, Heptachlor, Aldrin, Heptaclhor epoxide, trans-Clordane, Endosulfan I, 4,4` DDE and Dieldrin+Endrin.

Published: July 2017

This study aims to determine the concentrations of PAHs in Cluj-Napoca’s city atmosphere using moss as biomonitors. Samples from different neighborhoods of Cluj-Napoca city were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The concentrations of individual PAHs ranged from 0.61 µg kg-1 (chrysene) to 353.6 µg kg-1 (Indeno(1,2,3 -cd)pyrene), and the ΣPAHs ranged from 92.61 µg kg-1 to 353.6 µg kg-1 with a mean value of 329.23 µg kg-1. Residential areas characterized by both low population density and traffic intensity had the lowest concentration levels of ΣPAHs in moss samples, below 200 µg kg-1. Levels of concentration between 200 and 300 µg kg-1 were obtain in similar residential areas, but with more intense traffic. The locations that had PAHs concentration levels in moss exceeding 300 µg kg-1 are either industrial areas or neighborhoods with intense traffic. In all the study’s locations the main emission source, according to PAHs diagnostic ratios, is pyrogenic, mainly originating from traffic emissions. The FL/ (FL+PYR) and FLA/ (FLA+ PYR) ratios indicate that in some cases there also is a petrogenic source. In a cross examination however, it can easily be seen that the main apportion for all the location is from pyrogenic sources.

One of the important components which determine the quality of education is the quality of instructional process. A qualified instructional process is characterized by the involvement of all instructional aspects, namely; human resources, material, media, and also the environment where the instructional process takes place, (Mukhid, 2007). All of those instructional aspects need to be accommodated by an appropriate method in order to make them effective. An instructional method that is proved effective in improving the instructional process is Project-Based Learning (PBL). This method of teaching and learning would facilitate the students with the instructional process that accommodate the students’ creativity and potentials. PBL provides authentic challenges and choices of processes in accomplishing the task. The teacher guides the students as a facilitator while the students do the project using their individual initiative. Moreover, individual initiative which is different in every student then empowers the team work to get the expected goal (Liegel, 2004). Finally, the instructional syllabus should first be constructed to implement PBL effectively that could accommodate all of its advantages. This article would elaborates the application of EFL syllabus that is made based on PBL method. The syllabus was applied in Applied English Class of Religious Education Department, IHDN Denpasar. The findings highlight both benefits and shortcomings of this type of syllabus and also emphasize the importance of Project-Based Syllabus in improving the quality of instructional process.
