Background

The aim of the study was to compare three widely used algorithms for stratification of the global cardiovascular risk (GCVR): the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) score, the European systemic coronary risk estimation (SCORE) and the Italian ‘Progetto Cuore’ (heart project) score. It was also investigated how preclinical carotid atherosclerosis (pre-ATS) might influence the incidence and improve the risk prediction of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events.

Methods

Subjects (n = 358) without previous history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) were recruited and the GCVR was calculated for each patient. An ultrasound evaluation of the carotid arteries was also performed.

Results

According to SCORE, the recruited population had globally a low risk of cardiovascular mortality and the risk equation estimated a GCVR of 2% in spite of the in spite of the observed rate of 0.8% (95% CI −0.001 to 0.02) of fatal events. The FHS and the ‘Progetto Cuore’ risk equations, regarding a 10-year risk of fatal and nonfatal events, predicted a low GCVR of 31 and 30%, an intermediate risk of 64 and 66%, and a high risk of 5 and 4% of the population respectively. They also estimated a general GCVR of 6.9 and 6.4% respectively versus an observed event rate 27.7 (95% CI 23.0 to 32.0). The discriminative power, calculated with the area under the receiving operator curve (AUROC), was 0.53 for SCORE, 0.54 for FHS and 0.55 for Progetto Cuore. Based on the ultrasound evaluation of carotid arteries, a first clinical event at 10-year follow-up was reported in 3% of subjects with normal ultrasound examination, 32% with intima-media thickening (IMT) and 62% with asymptomatic carotid plaque (ACP).

Conclusion

The present study has evaluated for the first time the prediction of GCVR in an asymptomatic population, comparing three different risk scores. Carotid pre-ATS was related to the major cardiovascular risk factors (RFs) and was independently associated with a major incidence of cerebro- and cardiovascular events, therefore enhancing the predictive value of the three different risk scores.
Specific Elements of Marketing in the Recruitment and Selection of Human Resources Process in Romanian Army
Authors: Alexandrescu Mihai-Bogdan
Published: February 2019

The issue of recruiting a quality human resource appears to be, more or less, a universal one, and it is not just an issue for the United States of America but also for Europe, as the modern armies are confronting with difficulties in recruiting and retaining military personnel. The reasons are generated by the changes of the values in civil society, as well as by the fact that the interest and motivation of joining the army are declining, especially among young people. The competition between the private labor market and the military organization is increasing due to the high level of education of the younger generation and the unemployment rate. Increasing the confidence of the population towards the army and emphasizing the its role of employer determine the connection with the young people, especially for stimulating the desire and attracting them to the military profession.
Analysis of the Types of Maintenance Systems of Technical Equipment and the Assessment of the Characteristics of These Systems for Selecting the Optimal Variant
Authors: Virca Ioan
Published: February 2019

The use and maintenance of technical systems throughout their lifecycle aims at achieving goals that allow for high values of productivity and availability characteristics of these systems. In the economic policy of each state or private organization or state institution, there is the right to determine the type of adequate maintenance system within the maintenance strategy adopted. Thus, the types of maintenance systems recognized in the technical domain are analyzed from the point of view of the two previously-mentioned features, productivity and availability, thus making the predictive maintenance system, derived from the preventively-planned one, advantageous for all organizations. It is obvious that the current trend is to spread this predictive maintenance system, according to which the interventions will be carried out before the malfunction occurs, depending on the periodically measured values of global pressure, flow, energy consumption, temperature, current, voltage, vibrations, etc.

An underwater spoiler on a warship: why, when and how?
Authors: Bouckaert Bruno
Published: February 2019

There are a lot of energy saving devices for ships on the market, but few have seen wide adoption on naval ships, with one exception: the bulbous bow. The bulbous bow was developed for naval ships in the early 20th century and is now widespread on a variety of ship designs. Many have wondered if the effect of the bulbous bow — reducing the resistance of a ship by reducing the bow wave — could be replicated somehow at the stern — by reducing the stern wave. This is exactly what is done by a novel and patented energy saving device called Hull Vane®.

Invented by Dutch hydrodynamicist Dr Peter van Oossanen for an America’s Cup sailing yacht in the early 21st century, research over the years has shown that this wing-shaped appendage works best on ships that combine a relatively high displacement with a relatively high top speed requirement — even if most sailing hours are done at half speed. Examples are certain offshore vessels, superyachts, patrol vessels and naval ships. On offshore patrol vessels, the resistance reduction from the Hull Vane® ranges typically from 10 to 20% over the entire useful speed range.

In this paper, the working principles of the Hull Vane® will be described to give a better under-standing of the device. An overview will be given of the work carried out on naval ships and coastguard ships (25 to 142 m), based on Computational Fluid Dynamics studies, model tests and full-scale applications. The question ‘Why?’ will be answered by translating the hydrodynamic effects to concrete capability improvements for naval ships: a lower fuel consumption, a longer range, reduced signature, a higher top speed and improved seakeeping.

The question ‘When?’ will zoom in on whether a Hull Vane® is something to be included in a newbuild or if it is something to be retrofitted to an existing ship. Finally the answer to the question ‘How?’ will explain the process of either integrating a Hull Vane® in a newbuild project or retrofitting it during a midlife upgrade of an existing ship.

Published: February 2019

This paper presents the design framework, in which a Decision Support System (DSS) tool has been developed to assist the bridge operator during a challenging navigation condition. The present project would be another step for using state of the art, IT devices and hardware, to increase safety at sea mainly focusing on both collision and grounding avoidance. In this paper, the modules to detect an obstacle and to calculate the evasive route are based on a customized simulation model: such a model is able to represent the dynamic behaviour of a ship, including hydrodynamics, propulsion, and control effects. The suggested route selected by the decision support system and some environmental parameters coupled with some of the ship parameters are visualized on a smart “virtual bridge” exploiting virtual reality techniques. A suitable graphical interface has been developed and installed, in order to enhance the situation awareness. The project also focuses on the communication architecture, which relies on a publish-subscribe paradigm and is responsible to forward ship control parameters both to the virtual bridge and towards an ashore control centre, either for supervising or for remote control. Overall, both the potentiality and the limits of the proposed system have been critically discussed.

Objetivou-se analisar a dor no recém-nascido sob a perspectiva da equipe multiprofissional de uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado com 27 profissionais. A coleta de dados deu-se durante o mês de junho de 2016 por meio de um questionário estruturado fechado elaborado com base no questionário utilizado por Chermont et al. (2003). O instrumento abordou dados sociodemográficos, os critérios de identificação da dor, a conduta assistencial adotada, os sinais clínicos que motivaram a escolha da conduta, a análise da efetividade das intervenções e os procedimentos assistenciais capazes de ocasionar a dor. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva e distribuição de frequências por meio do programa Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) versão 21.0. A equipe multiprofissional concordou que o recém-nascido sente dor (100%). O choro e a expressão facial foram as manifestações comportamentais mais observadas (88,9%). Os parâmetros fisiológicos utilizados para detectar a presença de dor identificaram a frequência cardíaca (81,5%), frequência respiratória (74,1%) e êmese, pressão arterial e hipertermia (11,1%). O enrolamento de conforto foi a conduta de intervenção não farmacológica mais citada (66,7%). Conclui-se que, a equipe multiprofissional identifica a dor no recém-nascido, contudo, suas assistências não se fundamentam em boas práticas por meio da aplicação de escalas e protocolos.
The Cohen and Kuttel stories: Is the place where I hang my hat still relevant to determine my residence for tax purposes?
Authors: Arendse J , Stark K , Renaud C
Published: February 2019

1Determining the residence of a taxpayer is one of the most important aspects of modern tax systems. For an individual taxpayer who migrates, a common trend in the modern world, the questions are where the person is ordinarily resident and whether the place of ordinary residence can change. The two key cases in South African jurisprudence that are cited whenever the question of residence or ordinary residence is raised are Cohen v CIR and CIR v Kuttel. These cases form the foundation of this article as they examine the meaning of â€œresidentâ€ and â€œordinaryâ€ residentâ€ in the modern milieu. The article provides the historical background to these two seminal cases, extracts the key principles handed down in each of the judgments and evaluates these principles against definitions of â€œresidentâ€ used in other countries with a view to evaluating whether the definition of â€œresidentâ€ for South African tax purposes, premised on the fundamental principles from these two historic cases, is still relevant and appropriate. The article queries whether the concept of â€œordinary residentâ€, with its connotation of permanence, should be updated to reflect the modern reality of transience and mobility. The conclusion reached is that the existing definition of â€œresidentâ€ may be in need of updating to accommodate global trends and to bring the South African tax legislation more in line with modern developments and the introduction of an objective test could provide more certainty to both taxpayers and the fiscus, but this benefit should be weighed against the possible cost of a loss to the tax base.

Published: February 2019

Lever Brothers, the South African tax case that formed the basis of this research, was concerned with determining the source of interest income. In its time, this was one of the landmark cases and established tax principles that were valid for 54 years, until superseded by changes to legislation20The research presented a critical analysis of the three judgments in the case, exposing weaknesses in each. It also provided a condensed account of the history of the company, the historical era in which the transactions giving rise to the case took place, a glimpse into the lives of the judges, as well as a discussion of the development in South Africa of the rules for determining source. The most important focus of the research was the discussion of the use and validity of the practical man principle, and it was concluded that this principle should be applied, not in lieu of legal theory, but to restrain its unbridled use when unjust results would ensue.
The Relevance of Singing the Te Deum Laudamus in the Postmodern Era
Authors: Marumo Phemelo Olifile
Published: February 2019

This paper investigates the relevance of singing and performing the Te Deum Laudamus in the postmodern Christian era, especially in view of changing enactments and perceptions of the purpose of the hymn. The Te Deum has been used in various ways in church history, sung as a confession of praise and regularly used since the time of St Benedict during Matins (morning service). While the Reformers were critical of the late medieval worship, they did not query incorporating the Te Deum into their liturgies, because it brought meaning to the glorification of a benevolent God. This explains its use also by most Christian churches in their liturgies in the postmodern era. However, the pertinent question remains: Is the Te Deum still applicable to the postmodern church, which is characterised by secularism, charismatic sermons, and commercialised worship. The question is instigated by events and conceptions of the universe from the era of Gregorianism to Darwinism. In answering this question, the paper highlights the history of the Te Deum and its application within the church, and seeks to find out whether the hymn addresses the present needs of Christians, which have been affected by postmodernism. The paper contends that the Te Deum is still relevant and contributes to the glorification of Godâ€™s mission (missio Dei).

Published: February 2019

One of the key elements in the pathophysiological process of androgenetic alopecia and telogen hair loss is the change of hair cycle. Growth factors controlling the development and cycle of the hair follicle have thus far been established. However, the role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of alopecia remains to be revealed.Objective. This study was aimed at investigating the expression of the VEGF, KGF, EGF and TGF-01 growth factors in women with androgenetic alopecia and telogen hair loss, as well as their role in the development of alopecia.Materials and methods. 60 female patients diagnosed with telogen hair loss (30 women) and androgenetic alopecia (30 women) were observed. In order to investigate the expression of the VEGF, KGF, EGF and TGF-01 growth factors, we conducted an immunofluorescent analysis of skin samples obtained by punch biopsy (4 mm) from the frontoparietal scalp area of patients with androgenetic alopecia and telogen hair loss. 15 samples obtained from healthy people were used as a reference group.Results. A change in the expression of the VEGF, KGF and TGF-01 growth factors in women with androgenetic alopecia and telogen hair loss was established in comparison with healthy individuals. A correlation was found between the expression of the growth factors under study, age (p ≤ 0.05), as well as the character and duration of the disease (p ≤ 0.05) in women with non-scarring alopecia. The expression of the growth factors is found to be dependent on the clinical form of alopecia (p 0.001).Conclusion. The VEGF growth factor is established to have the most significant effect on the development of androgenetic alopecia in women, with the KGF, TGF-01 and EGF factors being less significant as the predictors of this disorder. The VEGF growth factor is shown to affect telogen hair loss to a greater extent compared to the EGF factor. Our study confirms differences in the pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia and telogen hair loss in women. The findings suggest that the VEGF and KGF growth factors, as well as TGF-01 inhibitors may be used as potential pharmacological agents for treating patients suffering from androgenetic alopecia and telogen hair loss.

Este aperfeiçoamento só foi possível devido a experiência absorvida pela reguladora e o grande banco de dados originado do vasto número de concessionárias que vivenciaram estas Revisões. Comenta-se então a RTP e seus objetivos, além das quatro revisões já realizadas pela Companhia Energética de Pernambuco (CELPE). Devido a ampla capacidade técnica procedente de seu extenso capital, as distribuidoras tornam-se beneficiadas no debate sobre regulação tarifária, particularmente nas audiências públicas que precedem este processo.
Long-Range Entropic Effects on Protein Intrinsically Disordered Regions
Authors: de Souza Cunha Joao Victor , Bronowska Agnieszka K.
Published: February 2019

Entropy calculations represent one of the most challenging steps in obtaining the binding free energy in proteins and their complexes, which is a grand challenge in computational biology. In this paper we define the workframe of a novel method to calculate structural entropy for protein molecular simulation : SQuE ( Strucutral Quantifier of Entropy). Using a first degree approximation for the probability distribution, we were able to calculate the entropic effects that emerges from a intrinsically disordered (ID) region in UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (UGDH) protein structure. We were able to quantify the configurational entropy difference in the structured core caused by the truncation of the C-terminal ID-tail, and evaluate the protein conformational changes in the structured domain.
Cosolvent Analysis Toolkit (CAT): A Robust Hotspot Identification Platform for Cosolvent Simulations of Proteins to Expand the Druggable Proteome
Authors: Zariquiey Francesc Sabanés , de Souza Cunha Joao Victor , Bronowska Agnieszka K.
Published: February 2019

Cosolvent Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are increasingly popular techniques developed for prediction and characterisation of allosteric and cryptic binding sites, which can be rendered “druggable” by small molecule ligands. Despite their conceptual simplicity and effectiveness, the analysis of cosolvent MD trajectories relies on pocket volume data, which requires a high level of manual investigation and may introduce a bias. In this work, we present CAT (Cosolvent Analysis Toolkit): an open-source, freely accessible analytical tool, suitable for automated analysis of cosolvent MD trajectories. CAT is compatible with commonly used molecular graphics software packages such as UCSF Chimera and VMD. Using a novel hybrid empirical force field scoring function, CAT accurately ranks the dynamic interactions between the macromolecular target and cosolvent molecules. To benchmark, CAT was used for three validated protein targets with allosteric and orthosteric binding sites, using five chemically distinct cosolvent molecules. For all systems, CAT has accurately identified all known sites. CAT can thus assist in computational studies aiming at identification of protein “hotspots” in a wide range of systems. As an easy-to-use computational tool, we expect that CAT will contribute to an increase of the size of the potentially ‘druggable’ human proteome.

Fuqaha dalam menentukan hukum pernikahan wanita hamil di luar nikah terjadi perbedaan pendapat. Pertama, madzhab Hanafi membolehkan pernikahan wanita pezina, jika wanita tersebut hamil maka tidak boleh berhubungan sampai bayi tersebut lahir. Kedua, madzhab Malik melarang menikahi wanita pezina baik hamil maupun tidak. Ketiga, madzhab Syafiâ€™i membolehkan pernikahan wanita pezina baik hamil maupun tidak, baik oleh laki-laki yang menghamilinya maupun laki-laki lain. Begitu pula boleh menikahi ibu dan anak perempuan dari wanita yang berzina dengannya. Keempat, madzhab Hambali berpendapat menikahi perempuan pezina tidak diperbolehkan, kecuali dua syarat yaitu: habis masa iddahnya dan bertaubat.

Published: February 2019

This paper describes the cases of six midwifery projects of the Women Observatory for eHealth at the Millennia2025 Women and Innovation Foundation, to support the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in midwifery practice in eight countries from 2014 to 2016. The WeObservatory is a digital inclusion incubator aimed at reducing maternal and neonatal mortality in countries with limited resources by strengthening midwifery practice through the access to ICTs and eHealth applications. This paper describes how the collaboration with the WeObservatory supported these projects in the development and adoption of digital solutions for midwifery practice. It examines responses from the project leaders to an online survey conducted by the WeObservatory in January of 2018. Their responses provide insights on opportunities and challenges faced by these projects that can inform future midwifery eHealth projects. Building capacity among midwives for the adoption of digital competencies will help improve the quality of healthcare provided to mothers and their newborn babies in low-income countries.

ABSTRAK Interaksi sistem sosial - ekologi di desa pesisir sering menimbulkan permasalahan, mulai dari menurunnya kualitas ekologi hingga terjadinya konflik sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sistem sosial - ekologi yang terdapat di Desa Blanakan, Desa Tanjungtiga, Desa Rawameneng, dan Desa Mayangan serta mengetahui jaringan konektivitas sistem sosial - ekologi dari desa pesisir yang terintegrasi. Data yang dikumpulkan berupa data primer dan sekunder terkait sistem sosial dan sistem ekologi, analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan spasial deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem sosial – ekologi Desa Blanakan, Desa Tanjungtiga, Desa Rawameneng, dan Desa Mayangan tersusun atas jaringan sumberdaya berupa sumberdaya ikan, sumberdaya ekosistem, sumberdaya lahan, dan sumberdaya air yang digunakan oleh nelayan, petani, dan masyarakat umum. Keberlanjutan pemanfaatan sumberdaya didukung oleh ketersediaan infrastruktur yang disediakan oleh pemerintah dan swasta. Jaringan konektivitas sistem sosial - ekologi dari integrasi desa pesisir menunjukkan bahwa sistem sosial antar desa pesisir terkonektivitas melalui interaksi pendidikan, kelembagaan nelayan, pelayaanan kesehatan, dan interaksi lainnya, sedangkan interaksi sistem ekologi terkonektivitas melalui jaringan fishing ground dan pemanfaatan ekosistem mangrove secara bersama terutama antara Desa Blanakan dan Desa Mayangan.  ABSTRACTThe interactions of the socio-ecological systems in the coastal villages often create problems, ranging from the declining ecological quality to social conflicts. This study aimed not only to analyze the socio-ecological systems in the villages of Blanakan, Tanjungtiga, Rawameneng, and Mayangan, but also to find out the connectivity network of socio-ecological systems of the integrated coastal villages. The data collected included primary and secondary data related to social and ecological systems. The data analysis was performed in descriptive-quantitative and descriptive-spatial manners. The results showed that the socio-ecological systems of Blanakan Village, Tanjungtiga Village, Rawameneng Village, and Mayangan Village were composed of resource networks such as fish resources, ecosystem resources, land resources, and water resources used by fishermen, farmers and general public. The sustainable utilization of the resources was supported by the availability of infrastructure provided by the government and the private sector. The connectivity network of socio-ecological ecosystems of the integrated coastal villages showed that the social systems among coastal villages were connected through educational interactions, fishermen institutions, health services, and other interactions, while the interaction of the ecological system was connected through fishing ground networks and the shared utilization of mangrove ecosystems, especially between Blanakan Village and Mayangan Village.

Underwater Positioning System (UPS) is a system to track the existence of the position of an object by utilizing the arrival time of the signal measurement. On land, the system uses an electromagnetic signal called GPS. However, because it cannot penetrate water effectively, an acoustic signal is used as an alternative. The purpose of this research is to engineer the control system of data acquisition and underwater acoustic device to measure arrival time (TOA) and apply equation model for underwater sound source positioning system. the effective frequency resonance of the transducer and the hydrophone is at a frequency of 6 kHz. The acquisition control device is able to measure the TOA signal with an error on a digital channel smaller than an analog channel. The difference between the TOA values measured by oscilloscope and acquisition control system is caused by inaccuracy of threshold estimates at the receiver's peak detector circuit. The position of the sound source coordinates obtained from the equation model shows the highest difference in depth point (z) compared to points (x) and (y), caused by the equation model used is limited to four hydrophone units forming a horizontal baseline.
