Published: February 2018

Lipoma is considered a benign common mesenchymal neoplasm originating from adipocytes or subcutaneous and occasionally dermal fat cells. They can be characterized as single or multiple masses of slow growth, being, in this situation, the choice of surgical treatment by means of tumor excision as a viable alternative without the necessity of association with a chemotherapeutic treatment. The purpose of this study was to report the case of a giant subcutaneous lipoma in the lumbosacral region. A bitch, with no defined breed, weighing 16.70 kg and 8 years and 1 month old, was seen at the Metropolitan Veterinary Polyclinic. During the anamnesis, an increase in volume was reported covering the lumbosacral region of the animal, which appeared insidiously and developed slowly over the months. In the clinical examination, we observed normocorate mucosa, normal lymph nodes, temperature of 39.2°C, presence of a mass of large size, dense and soft and rounded surface in the lumbosacral region. The hemogram and serum biochemistry results showed no relevant changes to the case, only mild anemia. The surgical procedure consisted of performing an elliptical incision around the mass followed by blunt divulsion with laparotomy towels until the entire tumor mass was released. The fibrous bundle or pedicle supporting the tumor was ligated and sectioned. The removed mass had a globular, massive, pendular aspect measuring about 16 cm on its long axis and weighing about 1.5 kg. At cut, the mass was encapsulated, firm and with yellowish color, mimicking greasy tissue. A small sample was collected for histopathological examination. The result revealed fatty cells, inflammatory aggregates, and dermal cells. The surgical procedure through mass excision proved to be a satisfactory alternative for the single and definitive treatment of this type of tumor.
Characterization of linear maps onMnwhose multiplicity maps have maximal norm, with an application in quantum information
Authors: Puzzuoli Daniel
Published: February 2018

Given a linear mapΦ:Mn→Mm, its multiplicity maps are defined as the family of linear mapsΦ⊗idk:Mn⊗Mk→Mm⊗Mk, whereidkdenotes the identity onMk. Let‖⋅‖1denote the trace-norm on matrices, as well as the induced trace-norm on linear maps of matrices, i.e.‖Φ‖1=max{‖Φ(X)‖1:X∈Mn,‖X‖1=1}. A fact of fundamental importance in both operator algebras and quantum information is that‖Φ⊗idk‖1can grow withk. In general, the rate of growth is bounded by‖Φ⊗idk‖1≤k‖Φ‖1, and matrix transposition is the canonical example of a map achieving this bound. We prove that, up to an equivalence, the transpose is the unique map achieving this bound. The equivalence is given in terms of complete trace-norm isometries, and the proof relies on a particular characterization of complete trace-norm isometries regarding preservation of certain multiplication relations.We use this result to characterize the set of single-shot quantum channel discrimination games satisfying a norm relation that, operationally, implies that the game can be won with certainty using entanglement, but is hard to win without entanglement. Specifically, we show that the well-known example of such a game, involving the Werner-Holevo channels, is essentially the unique game satisfying this norm relation. This constitutes a step towards a characterization of single-shot quantum channel discrimination games with maximal gap between optimal performance of entangled and unentangled strategies.

Authors: Young Richard A. , Burge Sandra K. , Kumar Kaparaboyna A. , Wilson Jocelyn M. , Ortiz Daniela F.
Published: February 2018

Background and Objectives: Electronic health records (EHRs) have had mixed effects on the workflow of ambulatory primary care. In this study, we update previous research on the time required to care for patients in primary care clinics with EHRs.
Methods: We directly observed family physician (FP) attendings, residents, and their ambulatory patients in 982 visits in clinics affiliated with 10 residencies of the Residency Research Network of Texas. The FPs were purposely chosen to reflect a diversity of patient care styles. We measured total visit time, previsit chart time, face-to-face time, non-face time, out-of-hours EHR work time, and total EHR work time.
Results: The mean (SD) visit length was 35.8 (16.6) minutes, not counting resident precepting time. The mean time components included 2.9 (3.8) minutes working in the EHR prior to entering the room, 16.5 (9.2) minutes of face-to-face time not working in the EHR, 2.0 (2.1) minutes working in the EHR in the room (which occurred in 73.4% of the visits), 7.5 (7.5) minutes of non-face time (mostly EHR time), and 6.9 (7.6) minutes of EHR work outside of normal clinic operational hours (which occurred in 64.6% of the visits). The total time and total EHR time varied only slightly between faculty physicians, third-year and second-year residents. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed many factors associated with total visit time including patient, physician, and clinic infrastructure factors.
Conclusions: Primary care physicians spent more time working in the EHR than they spent in face-to-face time with patients in clinic visits.
Standardized Contraceptive Handout Facilitates Contraceptive Counseling
Authors: Goldstein Shira , Hubbard Richard
Published: February 2018

Background and Objectives: Effective public provision of contraceptive services depends upon regular interventions at the primary care level. Recognizing the need to improve the frequency and quality of contraceptive counseling at a rural family medicine residency, this study sought to determine if the introduction of a simple teaching tool would lead to an increase in the rates of such counseling.
Methods: Resident physicians at a rural clinic provided contraceptive counseling to all eligible women, utilizing a simple educational table as a teaching aid. Rates of counseling were compared before, during, and after the intervention.
Results: A total of 3,606 patient encounters were included for analysis. Rates of contraceptive counseling in the preintervention period (n=832) and postintervention period (n=1,983) increased significantly (0.8% vs 5.2%, P<0.001). In addition, rates of counseling increased from the intervention phase (n=791) to the postintervention period (2.4% vs 5.2%, P<0.001).
Conclusion: The introduction of educational tools may increase rates of contraceptive counseling without being an undue burden upon providers.
Seven Years of Teaching Communication With the Patient-Centered Observation Form
Authors: Adam Patricia , Murphy Courtney F. , Dierich Mary , Hager Keri D.
Published: February 2018

Background and Objectives: For years, family medicine has taught patient-centered communication through observations and observation checklists. We explored the utility of one checklist, the Patient-Centered Observation Form (PCOF), to teach and evaluate patient-centered communication in our family medicine residencies.
Methods: We conducted a mixed-method study of five University of Minnesota Family Medicine Residencies’ seven years of experience teaching and evaluating residents’ patient-centered communication skills. All programs have a behavioral health (BH) faculty-led observation curriculum that uses the PCOF to assess resident skills and give feedback. We conducted a BH faculty focus group and interviews, generated themes from the BH responses, and then queried family medicine (FM) faculty regarding these themes through an online survey.
Results: Ten BH faculty participated in the focus group/interviews, and 71% (25/35) of FM faculty completed the survey about themes derived from the BH interviews. The residencies complete between 1 to 11 observations per resident per year. Since implementation, four programs have continuously used the PCOF due to its versatility, design as a formative rather than summative feedback tool, and relative ease of use. BH faculty believe longitudinal observations with the PCOF resulted in improved resident patient-centered communication. Most importantly, all faculty described a shift in family medicine culture toward patient-centered communication. Time for observations and feedback is the primary curricular barrier.
Conclusions: Our findings support the utility of the PCOF for teaching and evaluating patient-centered communication in family medicine training.

Authors: Nguyen Dana , Servey Jessica T. , Scott LaTraia S.
Published: February 2018

Background and Objectives: Pretests have been shown to contribute to improved performance on standardized tests by serving to facilitate development of individualized study plans. fmCASES is an existing validated examination used widely in family medicine clerkships throughout the country. Our study aimed to determine if implementation of the fmCASES National Examination as a pretest decreased overall failure rates on the end-of-clerkship National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) subject examination, and to assess if fmCASES pretest scores correlate with student NBME scores.
Methods: One hundred seventy-one and 160 clerkship medical students in different class years at a single institution served as the control and intervention groups, respectively. The intervention group took the fmCASES National Examination as a pretest at the beginning of the clerkship and received educational prescriptions based on the results. Chi-square analysis, Pearson correlation, and receiver operating curve analysis were used to evaluate the effectiveness and correlations for the intervention.
Results: Students completing an fmCASES National Examination as a pretest failed the end-of-clerkship NBME exam at significantly lower rates than those students not taking the pretest. The overall failure rate for the intervention group was 8.1% compared to 17.5% for the control group (P=0.01). Higher pretest scores correlated with higher NBME examination scores (r=0.55, P<0.001).
Conclusions: fmCASES National Examination is helpful as a formative assessment tool for students beginning their family medicine clerkship. This tool introduces students to course learning objectives, assists them in identifying content areas most in need of study, and can be used to help students design individualized study plans.
Efficacy of partial baffles for a vessel agitated by a Rushton turbine impeller
Authors: Yoshida Masanori , Ishioka Kohei , Ebina Hiromu , Oiso Koki , Shirosaki Hayato , Tateshita Ryota
Published: February 2018

For a vessel agitated by a Rushton turbine impeller, the efficacy of partial baffles was evaluated through examination of the liquid flow and impeller power characteristics. The bulk flow formed a pattern having circulation loops of different intensity and largeness depending on the baffle condition: the baffle length relative to the liquid depth for the vessel. Consequently, the liquid flow within the vessel affected the impeller power number. The characteristic circulation loops, which generally reflect the baffle efficacy, were assessed in terms of the discharge flow through the impeller and the energy transmission within the vessel based on the flow velocity profiles. The shorter length of baffles fitted partially in the upper half of the liquid phase was revealed to be effective, supported in combination by a comparable discharge flow and a successful energy transmission.

Relaciones entre el autoconcepto y el rendimiento académico, en alumnos de Educación Primaria
Authors: Peralta Sánchez Francisco Javier , Sánchez Roda María Dolores
Published: February 2018

Introducción. El autoconcepto como percepción que cada uno tiene de sí mismo es un componente del desarrollo de la personalidad. Los objetivos que nos proponemos se fundamentan en comprobar el grado de asociación y de predicción entre el autoconcepto y el rendimiento académico, así como determinar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario SDQ. Método. La muestra estuvo formada por 245 alumnos de la Etapa de Educación Primaria de la provincia de Almería (España) que cursan sus estudios en centros docentes públicos y concertados. Obtuvimos datos relativos al autoconcepto de los mismos a través del la aplicación del cuestionario SDQ, así como de su rendimiento escolar a través de las calificaciones otorgadas por sus profesores. Tras contrastar la estructura factorial de la escala, establecimos los niveles de asociación y predicción, entre el autoconcepto y el rendimiento académico. Resultados. Se obtiene una estructura factorial del cuestionario similar a la obtenida por Elexpru y unos índices de fiabilidad adecuados. Detectamos una estrecha relación entre el autoconcepto académico y las medidas de rendimiento académico. Además se ha constatado que el autoconcepto total y el autoconcepto académico son buenos predictores del rendimiento general. Discusión. Nuestros resultados, en la edad de la muestra utilizada y en este estudio particular, apoyan la idea de que el autoconcepto total predice el rendimiento académico, dándose el hecho de que el autoconcepto no académico predice de forma negativa el logro escolar (en lengua y matemáticas), mientras que el autoconcepto académico predice de forma potente y positiva tanto el logro general, como el de lengua y el de matemáticas. Consideramos que es necesario dar un tra-tamiento adecuado y suficiente al autoconcepto y a la autoestima y que se debe ofrecer al profesorado orientaciones metodológicas para trabajarlos a lo largo de todo el proceso educativo.

Penyimpangan pada remaja banyak terjadi dipicu karena adanya pergaulan bebas. Salah satu pergaulan bebas yang mempunyai pengaruh dominan terhadap para remaja, terutama para mahasiswi di lingkungan kampus adalah sex bebas. Sex sebagai kebutuhan manusia yang alamiah tersebut dalam upaya pemenuhannya cenderung didominasi oleh dorongan naluri sex secara subyektif. Akibatnya sering terjadi penyimpangan dan pelanggaran perilaku sex di luar batas hak-hak kehormatan dan tata susila kemanusiaan. Mahasiswi kebidanan secara penguasaan ilmu seharusnya mereka lebih memahami akibat dari sex secara bebas di luar pernikahan, karena dari ilmu yang mereka pelajari juga diajarkan banyak hal tentang penyakit yang diakibatkan dari sex bebas dan juga bahaya kehamilan di usia dini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peranan Pendidik Akademi Kebidanan Medika Wiyata dalam melakukan kontrol sosial dan upaya apa saja yang dilakukan dalam menghadapi penyimpangan perilaku mahasiswinya guna meng-antisipasi terjadinya sex bebas, dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan observasi yang dikumpulkan, kemudian dianalisa secara diskriptif kualitatif. Kontrol sosial yang dilakukan para pendidik di Akademi Kebidanan Medika Wiyata dilakukan melalui pengendalian sosial preventiv melalui tindakan pencegahan terhadap kemungkinan terjadinya pelanggaran-pelanggaran terhadap peraturan, atau merupakan suatu usaha yang dilakukan sebelum terjadinya suatu pelanggaran dan pengendalian sosial secara represif melaui pemberian sanksi bagi mahasiswi yang melakukan pelanggaran, sesuai dengan peraturan yang berlaku di Akademi Kebidanan Medika Wiyata Kediri.

Published: February 2018

Não obstante o turismo ser uma atividade propulsora do desenvolvimento regional, a gestão pública do turismo no estado do Piauí, seja em nível estadual ou municipal, apresenta sérias deficiências e fragilidades que, muitas vezes, se constituem óbices no processo de execução de programas federais. Nessa perspectiva, objetivou-se analisar o processo de implementação do Programa de Regionalização do Turismo no estado do Piauí. Para tanto, como aporte teórico ao objeto pesquisado, buscou-se apresentar uma breve trajetória das políticas públicas de turismo no Brasil, para alcançar o tema central proposto para este estudo. O procedimento metodológico centrou-se na pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-se de dados secundários a partir de documentos oficiais da Secretaria de Turismo do Estado do Piauí, somados à observação empírica no citado órgão. Os aspectos conclusivos apontam que a inclusão do turismo na agenda pública dos municípios piauienses ainda é uma realidade distante. Outrossim, o descomprometimento, por parte dos gestores e da comunidade, e a falta de estrutura física e de pessoal técnico constituem pontos críticos a serem enfrentados em busca do desenvolvimento do turismo local.

Cooperativismo: evolução histórica e contribuições para os processos organizativos de cooperativas de agricultores familiares praticantes da agroecologia
Authors: Fernandes Denise Medianeira Mariotti , Karnopp Erica
Published: February 2018

O presente artigo tem por objetivo descrever processos organizativos de cooperação desenvolvidos em cooperativas de agricultores familiares que adotam e/ou incentivam práticas agroecológicas, a partir da organização de ações coletivas presentes em duas realidades distintas: a primeira, da Cooperativa Cooesperança, no município de Santa Maria, estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil; e a segunda, da Cooperativa La Choza, no município de General Rodriguez, província de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Para atingi-lo, elaborou-se uma síntese sobre a evolução histórica e doutrinária do cooperativismo, a fim de propiciar a compreensão sobre a dinâmica da cooperação existente na agricultura familiar e a articulação promovida pelas cooperativas em prol de auxiliar no processo de inclusão social dos agricultores familiares no território. As experiências mostram que tanto a Cooesperança quanto a La Choza representam importantes formas de fomento para a mudança de comportamento dos agricultores familiares, no sentido de agir pensando no coletivo e de buscar modos de melhorar a renda de suas famílias, bem como de conscientizar e de incentivar a mudança de hábitos da sociedade, em relação ao consumo de alimentos saudáveis. Infere-se que, por meio das atividades desenvolvidas, dos processos organizativos de produção e de comercialização e da capacidade de articular os agricultores familiares, essas cooperativas transformam-se em estratégia para o fortalecimento desses agricultores, produtores de alimentos orgânicos e biodinâmicos, contribuindo para alavancar a produção sustentável, para revigorar as redes no sentido horizontal, para gerar novas formas de organização da agricultura familiar e para promover o desenvolvimento social, econômico, cultural e ambiental.

Colloidal lead chalcogenide quantum dots (CQDs) exhibit promising optoelectronic properties for applications in solar cell devices and as thermoelectrics. Herein, we report and discuss a ferroelectric structural distortion, at the picometer scale resolution, in PbS CQDs prepared using both classic and new synthetic pathways. The investigation was performed using synchrotron X-ray total scattering data and advanced methods of analysis that rely on a homo-core-shell model and evaluate the atomic arrangement, stoichiometry, size and morphology of nanocrystals. The CQDs show comparable size-dependent relative elongation, up to 0.7 % of one body diagonal of the cubic rock-salt structure, which corresponds to a rhombohedral lattice deformation. The findings suggest a joint role for the oleate ligands (which induce surface tensile strain) and the Pb(II) lone pair as the driving forces of the deformation. Pb displacements along the [111] direction, which provoke a ferrolectric distortion related to the lattice change, fall in the 0.0 – 0.1 Å. Overall, the findings suggest the local nature of the metal off-centering, leading to different average displacements which depend on the synthetic conditions.
Secondary Nominal Predication in Non-elementary Simple Sentence
Authors: Пантелеев Андрей , Panteleev Andrey
Published: February 2018

This monograph is devoted to the study of the functioning of concrete and abstract nouns as bearers of secondary predication and proposition in the folded non-elementary simple sentences in the Russian language. At the level of non-elementary simple sentences, there are specific means of updating the procedural semantics of specific nouns, specific ways of language representation of functional-semantic categories of personality, temporality and taxis. A high degree of compression of the statements suggests a closer relationship to secondary predicates with context and background knowledge speaking
(Re)discovering a Rhetorical Genre: Epideictic in Greek and Roman Antiquity
Authors: Pepe Cristina
Published: February 2018

Epideictic rhetoric has been traditionally stigmatized as fl attery or empty show without any practical goal. Where does such attitude towards epideictic come from? To answer this question, we explore the ancient debate about the nature and the function of the epideictic genre. In the second part of this paper, we discuss the recent reappraisal of the epideictic among classical scholars and fi nally focus the attention on a promising fi eld of research: epideictic speeches in honor of women.
The Repetitive Rhetoric of Miscavige’s Battle: A Preliminary Look at the Church of Scientology
Authors: Porrovecchio Mark
Published: February 2018

The Church of Scientology is currently experiencing a rash of negative publicity regarding its belief system, organizational structure, and practices. Amidst this controversy, Ecclesiastical Leader David Miscavige has continued to make speeches celebrating the church. But he has remained notably silent regarding the challenges facing his church. This short essay aims to: (a) provide an introduction to the church, (b) examine the rhetoric of Miscavige in light of the church’s practices, and (c) offer up some initial suggestions regarding how the two can, and do, relate to each other. The tentative conclusions drawnsuggest that, at best, Miscavige is providing his followers with a positive vision of the church; at worst, his rhetoric threatens to engender more criticism and further isolate the church.

In this paper, the Domain decomposition method (ADM) with modified polynomials is applied for nonlinear (2+1) â€“ dimensional Wu-Zhang system . we compared the solution of the system with MVIM, HPM and RDTM [ 17,13,15]. The numerical results obtained by this polynomial are very effective, convenient and quite accurate to system of partial differential equations. A comparative  between the modifications method and the other methods is present from some examples to show the efficiency of each method.
Video Frames Edge Detection of Red Blood Cells: A Performance Evaluation
Authors: Neamah Hussein Karrar
Published: February 2018

The boundary structure (shape and size) and numbers of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) play a significant role in controlling human physiology. Several blood related diseases including sickle hemoglobin, polycythemia, thalassemia, anemia, and leukemia that occur due to the alteration of RBCs structures need precise detection, analysis, and subsequent inhibition. Diverse boundary analyses that have already been developed to detect the frames edge of blood samples remained ineffective. Thus, an automated system needs to be designed for exact detection of the RBCs edges. The edges being the main features of image often provide vital information to separate regions within an object or to detect changes in illumination. Accordingly, edge detection is regarded as an important step in the analysis of images and extraction of valuable information. In this paper, we evaluated the performance of video frames edge detectors and compared it with different gradient based techniques including Robert, Sobel, Prewitt and Canny, Zero-crossing (Laplacian, Gaussian and fuzzy logic) by applying them on video of RBCs. Two criteria such as mean square error (MSE) and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR)were exploited to achieve good quality of video frames edge detectors for RBCs. Canny edge and fuzzy logic based techniques revealed the optimum performance towards the detection of video frames edge of RBCs.

Published: February 2018

In this paper, a binary watermark is embedded and extracted using principal component analysis along with non-subsampled contourlet transform. Before the use of aforementioned techniques, the binary watermark is scrambled, for which we have used Arnold transform. This will by default add a level of security measures without a password. The approach as presented in the following paper is very efficient, novel, robust and blind. We have also considered the possibility of image processing attacks, hence we have employed non subsampled contourlet transform for the same. The scheme is tested on various images and we have come to a conclusion that this scheme is very performance oriented when compared to the existing watermarking techniques using 3D anaglyphic images.
An Efficient Classification Algorithms for Image Retrieval Based Color and Texture Features
Authors: Abduljabbar Saad Iman
Published: February 2018

Content-Based Image Retrieval CBIR system commonly extracts retrieval results respecting to the similarities of the extracted feature of the given image and the candidate images. The proposed system presented a comparative analysis of five types of classifiers which used in CBIR. These classifiers are Multilayer Perceptron (MP), Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), Random Forest (RF), Bayes Network (BN) and Iterative Classifier Optimizer (ICO). It has been investigated to find out the best classifier in term of performance and computation to be the suitable for image retrieval. The low level image features which include texture and color are used in the proposed system. The color features involve color-histogram, color-moments and color-autocorrelogram while texture features involve wavelet transform and log Gabor filter. Also the system will include hybrid of texture and color features to get efficient image retrieval. The system was tested using WANG database, and the best average precision achieved was (85.08%) when combining texture and color features and using the (RF) classifier.

Proposed method for Analyze the QR code and Detection of Vulnerabilities
Authors: Saadoon Jasim Sarah
Published: February 2018

A 2D matrix that is designed via keeping two points under consideration is QR code, in other words, it stores a large amount of data as compared to 1D barcodes. A Denso-Wave Corporation in Japan has been developed the QR code; the various marker of QR codes over traditional barcodes owns a large storage capacity, read faster, 360-degree reading, printing of small size, correction of error, and supports more languages. The use of QR codes has been expanding over the world because of these benefits. This paper tries to highlight the characteristics, working, significance, and vulnerabilities of the QR codes. After applying the proposed method, the irrelevant positions were detected, then it was removed without any effect on the QR code reading, and these positions are used to hide text or image; indicating that the proposed new method has shown some important characteristics which will affect the security and confidentiality of the QR-code.
