The aim of the study was to assess the reproducibility of a short-form, multicomponent dietary questionnaire (SF-FFQ4PolishChildren) in Polish children and adolescents. The study involved 437 children (6–10 years old) and 630 adolescents (11–15 years old) from rural and urban areas of Poland. The self-administered questionnaire was related to nutrition knowledge, dietary habits, active/sedentary lifestyle, self-reported weight and height, and socioeconomic data. The questionnaire was completed with a two-week interval—twice by parents for their children (test and retest for children), twice by adolescents themselves (adolescent’s test and retest) and once by adolescents’ parents (parent’s test). The strength of agreement measured using the kappa statistic was interpreted as follows: 0–0.20 slight, 0.21–0.40 fair, 0.41–0.60 moderate, 0.61–0.80 good, and 0.81–1.00 excellent. Regarding the frequency of consumption of food items and meals, kappa statistics were 0.46–0.81 (the lowest: fruit/mixed fruit and vegetable juices; the highest: Energy drinks) in test–retest for children, 0.30–0.54 (fruit/mixed fruit and vegetable juices; breakfast, respectively) in adolescent’s test–retest, 0.27–0.56 (the lowest: Sweets, fruit, dairy products; the highest: Breakfast) in adolescent’s test and parent’s test. Lower kappa statistics were found for more frequently consumed foods (juices, fruit, vegetables), higher kappa statistics were found for rarely consumed foods (energy drinks, fast food). Across study groups, kappa statistics for diet quality scores were 0.31–0.55 (pro-healthy diet index, pHDI) and 0.26–0.45 (non-healthy diet index, nHDI), for active/sedentary lifestyle items they were 0.31–0.72, for components of the Family Affluence Scale (FAS) they were 0.55–0.93, for BMI categories (based on self-reported weight and height) they were 0.64–0.67, for the nutrition knowledge (NK) of adolescents the kappa was 0.36, for the nutrition knowledge of children’s parents it was 0.62. The Spearman’s correlations for diet quality scores were 0.52–0.76 (pHDI) and 0.53–0.83 (nHDI), for screen time score they were 0.45–0.78, for physical activity score they were 0.51–0.77, for the FAS score they were 0.90–0.93, and for the NK score they were 0.68–0.80. The questionnaire can be recommended to evaluate dietary and lifestyle behaviors among children and adolescents.

Fluorescent labelling of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is classically performed by chemical bioconjugation methods. The most frequent labelling technique to generate antibody–fluorophore conjugates (AFCs) involves the bioconjugation onto the mAb lysines of a dye bearing an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester or an isothiocyanate group. However, discrepancies between labelling experiments or kits can be observed, related to reproducibility issues, alteration of antigen binding, or mAb properties. The lack of information on labelling kits and the incomplete characterization of the obtained labelled mAbs largely contribute to these issues. In this work, we generated eight AFCs through either lysine or interchain cysteine cross-linking bioconjugation of green-emitting fluorophores (fluorescein or BODIPY) onto either trastuzumab or rituximab. This strategy allowed us to study the influence of fluorophore solubility, bioconjugation technology, and antibody nature on two known labelling procedures. The structures of these AFCs were thoroughly analyzed by mass spectroscopy, and their antigen binding properties were studied. We then compared these AFCs in vitro by studying their respective spectral properties and stabilities. The shelf stability profiles and sensibility to pH variation of these AFCs prove to be dye-, antibody- and labelling-technology-dependent. Fluorescence emission in AFCs was higher when lysine labelling was used, but cross-linked AFCs were revealed to be more stable. This must be taken into account for the design of any biological study involving antibody labelling.

Published: December 2019

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of two chemically different edge activators, i.e., Tween® 80 and sodium deoxycholate, on (i) the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of ultradeformable vesicles, and (ii) the administration of naproxen sodium-loaded multidrug ultradeformable vesicles for the transdermal route in order to obtain therapeutically meaningful drug concentrations in the target tissues and to potentiate its anti-inflammatory effect by association with the antioxidant drug idebenone. The results obtained in this investigation highlighted a synergistic action between naproxen and idebenone in the treatment of inflammatory disease with a more pronounced anti-inflammatory effect in multidrug ultradeformable vesicles compared to the commercial formulation of Naprosyn® gel. Systems made up of Tween® 80 appeared to be the most suitable in terms of percutaneous permeation and anti-inflammatory activity due to the greater deformability of these vesicles compared to multidrug ultradeformable vesicles with sodium deoxycholate. Our findings are very encouraging and suggest the use of these carriers in the topical treatment of inflammatory diseases.
Innovative RNAi Strategies and Tactics to Tackle Plum Pox Virus (PPV) Genome in Prunus domestica-Plum
Authors: Ravelonandro Michel , Scorza Ralph , Briard Pascal
Published: December 2019

We developed an innovative RNAi concept based on two gene constructs built from the capsid gene (CP) cistron of the Plum pox virus (PPV) genome. First, designated as amiCPRNA, a potential molecule interfering with PPV genome translation and the second one is the ami-siCPRNA to target viral genome translation and PPV RNA replication. Following the previous engineering of these constructs in an experimental herbaceous host, they were introduced into Prunus domestica (plum tree) genome. Previously propagated onto a susceptible rootstock, these clones were graft-inoculated with PPV. After four dormancy cycles, and consistent with our experience of PPV infection, some clones showed a common phenomenon of silencing that can differ between the detailed plant phenotypes. Three different phenotypes were developed by the amisiCPRNA clones. First, the high resistance character shown by the amisiCPRNA plum-7 that was similar to the resistance expressed by HoneySweet plum. Secondly, a recovery reaction was developed by the two other amisiCPRNA plum-3 and plum-4 that differed from the rest, characterized as susceptible clones, among these were the amiCPRNA plums. Having assessed the behavior of these plums versus the herbaceous host accumulating the similar form of RNAi: ami-, si-, and ami-siRNA, challenging assays in perennials consistently reflect the natural context of viral genome targeting.

Published: December 2019

In this study, we fabricated a highly flexible fiber-based capacitive humidity sensor using a scalable convergence fiber drawing approach. The sensor’s sensing layer is made of porous polyetherimide (PEI) with its porosity produced in situ during fiber drawing, whereas its electrodes are made of copper wires. The porosity induces capillary condensation starting at a low relative humidity (RH) level (here, 70%), resulting in a significant increase in the response of the sensor at RH levels ranging from 70% to 80%. The proposed humidity sensor shows a good sensitivity of 0.39 pF/% RH in the range of 70%–80% RH, a maximum hysteresis of 9.08% RH at 70% RH, a small temperature dependence, and a good stability over a 48 h period. This work demonstrates the first fiber-based humidity sensor fabricated using convergence fiber drawing.

Published: December 2019

ZIF-8 nanoparticle-doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-S-MC films were prepared via casting method. The effect of different concentrations of ZIF-8 on the physical properties and structural characterization of the films were investigated. The results indicated that ZIF-8 could increase the water resistance and mechanical property of the membrane. Through FTIR, scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and TGA analysis, it was found that ZIF-8 changed the phenomenon of macromolecule agglomeration and improved the thermal stability of the membrane. The breathable behavior of the film was also studied through oxygen permeability and water vapor permeability analysis. The result illustrated that the breathability of the film improved significantly by adding ZIF-8. The maximum reached when the weight ratio of ZIF-8 was 0.01 wt %. The property expands the application of PVA/starch blend film in the postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables.

Published: December 2019

Magnetically oriented three-phase composite systems of epoxy resin, aluminum nitride, and nickel have been prepared, the thermal conductivity of composites filled with nickel powder with different particle sizes and content under different applied magnetic fields was studied. The vibrating scanning magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to investigate the dispersion of nickel powder in the composites. The results showed that the anisotropic thermal conductivity of the composites treated by applied magnetic field forming chain structure is obtained. The epoxy resin-based composites filled with 30 vol% aluminum nitride with particle size of 1 μm and 2 vol% nickel powder with particle size of 1 μm and aligned with vertical magnetic field have the highest thermal conductivity (1.474 W/mk), which increases the thermal conductivity of the composites by 737% and 58% compared to the pure epoxy resin (0.2 W/mk) and the composites filled with 30 vol% aluminum nitride (0.933 W/mk). In addition, we simulated the influence of nickel powder particles with different particle sizes and arrangements on the thermal conductivity of the composite material in COMSOL Multiphysics software, and the results were consistent with the experimental results.

Published: December 2019

Bioshell calcium oxide (BiSCaO) is a scallop-shell powder heated at a high temperature. BiSCaO is composed mainly of calcium oxide and exhibits broad microbicidal properties. The aim of this study is to evaluate the disinfection and decontamination abilities of BiSCaO colloidal dispersions with that of commercially available bioshell calcium hydroxide (BiSCa(OH)2) following the formation of flocculants/precipitates under strongly alkaline conditions (pH 11.5–12.2). Various concentrations of BiSCaO and BiSCa(OH)2 colloidal dispersions were prepared by mixing with Na-polyPO4 (PP) and Na-triPO4 (TP) as flocculating agents. The microbicidal activities, and the degree of flocculation/precipitation of trypan blue, albumin, chondroitin sulfate, heparin, non-anticoagulant heparin carrying polystyrene (NAC-HCPS), and low-molecular-weight heparin/protamine nanoparticles (LMWH/P NPs) were dependent on the pH, the average particle diameter, and the concentration of BiSCaO or BiSCa(OH)2 and of the phosphate compound. BiSCaO (average particle diameter: 6 μm) colloidal dispersions (0.2 wt.%) containing 0.15 wt.% PP or TP exhibited substantially stronger microbicidal activity and flocculation/precipitation under strongly alkaline conditions. These results suggest that BiSCaO colloidal dispersions together with phosphate compounds have practical applicability for disinfection.

Published: December 2019

The accurate knowledge of spatial and temporal variations of snow depth over sea ice in the Arctic basin is important for understanding the Arctic energy budget and retrieving sea ice thickness from satellite altimetry. In this study, we develop and validate a new method for retrieving snow depth over Arctic sea ice from brightness temperatures at different frequencies measured by passive microwave radiometers. We construct an ensemble-based deep neural network and use snow depth measured by sea ice mass balance buoys to train the network. First, the accuracy of the retrieved snow depth is validated with observations. The results show the derived snow depth is in good agreement with the observations, in terms of correlation, bias, root mean square error, and probability distribution. Our ensemble-based deep neural network can be used to extend the snow depth retrieval from first-year sea ice (FYI) to multi-year sea ice (MYI), as well as during the melting period. Second, the consistency and discrepancy of snow depth in the Arctic basin between our retrieval using the ensemble-based deep neural network and two other available retrievals using the empirical regression are examined. The results suggest that our snow depth retrieval outperforms these data sets.

The Role of Consumers’ Perceived Security, Perceived Control, Interface Design Features, and Conscientiousness in Continuous Use of Mobile Payment Services
Authors: Zhang Jiaxin , Luximon Yan , Song Yao
Published: December 2019

Mobile payment has played a vital role in transforming traditional payment methods into digital payment methods and has led to changes in consumers’ behaviors in economic exchanges. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how perceived security influences are a sustainable use of mobile payment services. In order to examine the impact of perceived security on users’ continuous use, especially regarding mobile payment services and factors related to perceived security (i.e., perceived control, interface design features, and conscientiousness), an empirical study was conducted to collect data from 252 participants. Then, the proposed research model was examined using structural equation modelling. The results revealed that the perception of interface design features was influenced by conscientiousness. Perceived security was affected by perceived control, the perception of interface design features, and conscientiousness. Moreover, perceived security was identified to have a strong impact on continuous intention to use mobile payment. The design implications for mobile service providers and designers are presented.

Published: December 2019

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is one of the increasing industrial problems, especially in chemical plants that have been running for an extended time. Prediction modeling, which is one of the solutions for this issue, has attracted increasing attention and has been considered for several industrial applications. The main objective of this work was to investigate the effect of combined data input in prediction modeling, which could be applied to improve the existing CUI rate prediction model. Experimental data and field historical data were gathered and simulated using an artificial neural network separately. To analyze the effect of data sources on the final corrosion rate under the insulation prediction model, both sources of data from experiment and field data were then combined and simulated again using an artificial neural network. Results exhibited the advantages of combined input data type from the experiment and field in the final prediction model. The model developed clearly shows the occurrence of corrosion by phases, which are uniform corrosion at the early phases and pitting corrosion at the later phases. The prediction model will enable better mitigation actions in preventing loss of containment due to CUI, which in turn will improve overall sustainability of the plant.
The Role of Chronological Age, Health, and Basic Psychological Needs for Older Adults’ Travel Intention
Authors: Kang Sangguk , Pai Chen-Kuo , Kim Donghan
Published: December 2019

This study examined how demographic information, chronological age, older adults’ physical and mental health, and basic psychological needs affected travel intention. The survey samples were collected from 577 adults, all over 60 years of age. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to test the proposed hypotheses. First, demographic information with chronological age was used for primary analysis. The outcome indicated that chronological age was negatively associated with travel intention while all other demographic variables were not. Secondly, when physical and mental health condition variables were added, physical health positively affected travel intention while chronological age still negatively affected travel intention. Thirdly, psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) for travel were included in the final analysis. The outcome showed that all psychological needs variables had a significant impact on travel intention for those with a physical health condition. However, chronological age was not a significant factor in travel intention during this analysis. This study shows that chronological age is not always an important factor that affects older adults’ travel intention when other health and psychological variables are considered. This study provides some practical implications and tips for travel industry managers who are targeting the aging population.

Published: December 2019

In the context of the impact of urbanization on climate change, this work aims to evaluate the sensitivity of the thermal and radiative properties of building surfaces in urban areas to the urban heat island intensity, a local scale meteorological phenomenon. For this, variations of albedo values, emissivity, thermal conductivity and heat capacity of roofs, streets and walls were simulated through an urban scheme coupled with the BRAMS mesoscale atmospheric model for the metropolitan area of São Paulo, considering two main urban types. The simulations show that, in general, looking for cold surface situations, the change of building material can contribute to a reduction of up to 3 °C for São Paulo. In addition, the role of orientation and the typological characteristics of constructions should be taken into account. In this sense, it is expected that this work guides civil engineers and builders to search for new materials in order to reduce the effects of urbanization on the local climate.
An Equivalent Damping Numerical Prediction Method for the Ring Damper Used in Gears under Axial Vibration
Authors: Wang Shuai , Wang Xiaolei , Wang Yanrong , Ye Hang
Published: December 2019

In aircraft gas turbine engines, gears in the transmission system are typically cyclic in structure and inevitably encounter large dynamic loads, such as meshing excitation, resulting in high vibration loads in resonance. To prevent gear resonance failure, a ring damper is employed to reduce the resonance response. As relative motion between the gear and the ring damper occurs, vibration loads can be reduced by friction energy dissipation. Moreover, the gears in the aircraft engine are thin-walled and their axial stiffness is much smaller than radial stiffness; thus, it is easier for axial vibration to cause resonance failure. This paper proposes an equivalent damping numerical prediction method for a ring damper under axial vibration, which greatly shortens the calculation time and prevents the forced response analysis of nonlinear structures. Via this method, the influence of ring damper structural parameters on friction damping in gears under axial vibration is investigated. The results indicate that the friction coefficient and mass of the ring damper have a great influence on damping performance.
Use of Competitive Filamentous Fungi as an Alternative Approach for Mycotoxin Risk Reduction in Staple Cereals: State of Art and Future Perspectives
Authors: Sarrocco Sabrina , Mauro Antonio , Battilani Paola
Published: December 2019

Among plant fungal diseases, those affecting cereals represent a huge problem in terms of food security and safety. Cereals, such as maize and wheat, are very often targets of mycotoxigenic fungi. The limited availability of chemical plant protection products and physical methods to control mycotoxigenic fungi and to reduce food and feed mycotoxin contamination fosters alternative approaches, such as the use of beneficial fungi as an active ingredient of biological control products. Competitive interactions, including both exploitation and interference competition, between pathogenic and beneficial fungi, are generally recognized as mechanisms to control plant pathogens populations and to manage plant diseases. In the present review, two examples concerning the use of competitive beneficial filamentous fungi for the management of cereal diseases are discussed. The authors retrace the history of the well-established use of non-aflatoxigenic isolates of Aspergillus flavus to prevent aflatoxin contamination in maize and give an overview of the potential use of competitive beneficial filamentous fungi to manage Fusarium Head Blight on wheat and mitigate fusaria toxin contamination. Although important steps have been made towards the development of microorganisms as active ingredients of plant protection products, a reasoned revision of the registration rules is needed to significantly reduce the chemical based plant protection products in agriculture.
Sur la parole de Ricoeur : « Le cerveau ne pense pas. Je pense. »
Authors: Petit Jean-Luc
Published: December 2019

Je me propose de revenir sur «le dialogue manqué » Changeux – Ricoeur afin de mieux comprendre ce qui fait difficulté dans la relation entre neurosciences et phénoménologie. Cette difficulté apparente est-elle réelle, et en ce cas doit-elle être considérée comme insurmontable ? Le volontaire et l’involontaire ouvrait – bien avant qu’il soit question de «neurosciences cognitives » – la perspective d’une phénoménologie de l’action que l’orientation herméneutique de l’oeuvre ricoeurien ultérieur a laissée de côté. La relance de cette phénoménologie de l’action pourrait contribuer à l’éclairement des neurosciences et des sciences cognitives par le rappel des intuitions de la phénoménologie sur le corps propre et l’empathie. Nouvelle occasion de vérifier la fécondité de l’enseignement de notre maître Ricoeur jusque dans des secteurs qui n’ont pas été les siens.
Richard Simon, critique de la sacralité biblique
Authors: Fleyfel Antoine
Published: December 2019

This paper investigates the secular approach of the Bible carried out by Richard Simon, whose philological and historical criticism originates from Cappel and Spinoza. Simon’s use and development of a secular methodology weaken the authority of the Bible and insert Biblical history into the framework of world history. Simon carried out this approach in his works on the Pentateuch, the prophets, the Hebrew language, and inspiration.

Entre progreso y desarrollo La protección de la infancia en el imaginario interamericano del siglo XX
Authors: Rojas Novoa Soledad
Published: December 2019

En este artículo busco mostrar la centralidad que alcanzan los idearios de progreso y desarrollo en la articulación de los proyectos de sociedad que gravitaron sobre las concepciones de lo infantil en América a lo largo del siglo XX. Para ello me baso en un análisis socioantropológico en clave histórica de los procesos a partir de los cuales la protección de la infancia devino un problema social en América, tomando como prisma la trayectoria del Instituto Interamericano del Niño, la Niña y Adolescentes, entre 1916 y 1989. La hipótesis central de este artículo es que el circuito nucleado por dicho Instituto y el ideario de progreso y desarrollo se sostienen en una relación de mutua constitución, la cual forma parte de los procesos de producción y difusión de la preocupación social por la infancia en la región en ese periodo.

Este artigo nasce de uma pesquisa de doutorado cujo foco recai sobre a produção da imagem corporal de crianças na faixa etária entre 6 e 12 anos, pertencentes a diferentes realidades sociais e econômicas, frequentadoras de salões de beleza no Distrito Federal. Trata-se de uma etnografia, com abordagem antropológica da infância, a partir de uma perspectiva interseccional com marcadores sociais de diferença, tais como classe e raça. Apresentam-se dados que revelam a recorrência de crianças frequentadoras de salões assistindo a vídeos veiculados no YouTube protagonizados por outras crianças, as quais produzem o embelezamento de suas imagens corporais (maquiagem, cortes de cabelo, adornos). A partir da análise dos diálogos das crianças espectadoras desses vídeos, buscar-se-á refletir sobre como tais conteúdos audiovisuais reverberam nos processos de produção de suas autoimagens e subjetividades. O artigo convida a pensar como as crianças protagonistas e espectadoras dos vídeos estão, a todo instante, negociando com um mercado estético e cosmético a cada dia mais globalizado e sendo atravessadas por ele.

Стаття присвячена аналізу особливостей кібербезпеки як важливої складової національної безпеки України, законодавчого і нормативно-правового забезпечення даної сфери, реалізації чисельних заходів державою під час боротьби з кібернападами на обʼєкти критичної інфраструктури, обʼєкти громадянського суспільства та діяльності спеціалізованих державних структур, які забезпечують кіберзахист країни в умовах протидії російській агресії, з використанням сучасних світових практик, зокрема країн НАТО та ЄС в означеній сфері. Розкрито особливості, стратегії та суб’єкти кібернападів на стратегічні об’єкти критичної інфраструктури України, приватні підприємства та ЗМІ. Проаналізовано закордонний досвід боротьби з кіберзлочинністю за допомогою комплексних, збалансованих стратегій управління кіберризиками. Результати дослідження досвіду України та світу у боротьбі з кіберзлочинністю доводять, що неможливо повністю позбутись ризиків у сфері кібербезпеки. Проте, на нашу думку, спільні зусилля світової спільноти щодо обміну досвідом, технологіями, здобутками фахівців у сфері кіберзахисту, взаємна фінансова підтримка, скоординована спільна системна відповідь країн на кіберзлочини, запровадження нових світових стандартів з кібербезпеки та інформаційної безпеки, оновлення національних та міжнародних стратегій, законодавства, які б відповідали новим кібервикликам, є запорукою подолання спільними зусиллями нових сучасних викликів.  Також авторами розглянуто нагальність розробки окремої комплексної державної програми для освітніх закладів, державних установ, програми співпраці з підприємцями, громадськими організаціями, з метою охопити всі категорії населення та навчити елементарним заходам кібербезпеки, інформаційної безпеки, ознайомлення їх з кіберризиками під час здійснення діяльності в кіберпросторі, інформування про спеціалізовані державні підрозділи, які можуть надати кваліфіковану допомогу у випадку нападів з боку кіберзлочинців.
ПІДГОТОВКА КАДРІВ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ УПРАВЛІННЯ СУСПІЛЬНИМИ ВІДНОСИНАМИ: АДАПТИВНИЙ ПІДХІД В КОНТЕКСТІ ПРОБЛЕМАТИКИ ДЕМЕНЦІЇ
Authors: Khudoba Oleksandra
Published: December 2019

Автор статті акцентує увагу на тому, що соціальні перетворення, обумовлені зміною демографічної структури населення, потребують удосконалення державно-управлінських підходів до формування нової медико-соціальної стратегії. Кількість людей з деменцією у всьому світі збільшується з кожним роком у міру того, як старіє населення і уряд нашої країни повинен звернути більше уваги на формування державної політики у цьому аспекті. Успіх перетворень значною мірою буде залежати, з одного боку, від розуміння та усвідомлення проблематики деменції державними службовцями, які формують політику, а з іншого – від готовності до цих змін суб’єктів, які безпосередньо її реалізують.
Мета нашої статті полягає в актуалізації потреби підготовки медичних кадрів для вирішення питань деменції як медико-соціальної проблеми в Україні, розкритті тенденцій її розвитку та змісту, а також окресленні напрямів удосконалення державного управління у цьому напрямі завдяки використанню адаптивного підходу до підготовки кадрів, що сприятиме підвищенню ефективності діяльності галузі охорони здоров’я загалом, здійснення її на засадах компетентності та професіоналізму.
Освіта лікарів і медичних сестер розглядається в статті не з суто теоретичної точки зору, а з позиції компетентнісного підходу, що зумовлено спрямуванням на їх практичну діяльність.
Встановлено, що кваліфікація медичних кадрів з питань деменції, особливо сімейних лікарів, невропатологів, психіатрів та медичних сестер в Україні на сьогодні є низькою. Це призводить до низького рівня обізнаності населення про деменцію як захворювання; унеможливлення визначення потреб у послугах на різних стадіях захворювання, а також обсягах цих послуг; низького рівня пріоритетності деменції як медико-соціальної проблеми в суспільстві.
Одним з інструментів державного управління щодо підвищення професійної компетентності, спричинених зовнішніми чинниками, може бути використання адаптивного підходу. Цей підхід до підготовки кадрів має забезпечувальний характер і ґрунтується на потребах у пристосуванні до соціальних умов, що склалися в умовах сьогодення. Встановлено, що в умовах сьогодення адаптивний підхід може бути реалізований через програму безперервного професійного навчання.

Authors: Hernández Herrera Claudia Alejandra
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo presenta los resultados del estudio comparativo de la motivación y satisfacción laboral en dos escuelas que pertenecen al subsistema de enseñanza media superior en el área metropolitana. Los datos fueron recabados a través de un cuestionario, el cual fue aplicado a los docentes de un CECyT del IPN y un CETIS. El artículo analiza los resultados de los motivadores del contenido del trabajo y los factores del entorno laboral a través de las miradas de Frederick Herzberg (1968) y Peiró y Prieto (2002).

Se encontró que en ambas escuelas los motivadores del contenido del trabajo tienen mayor influencia sobre la motivación y satisfacción laboral de los profesores que los factores del entorno laboral.

The present study examined the levels of burnout among school teachers. 100 samples (52 Males and 48 Females) were
collected randomly. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator Survey (MBI) (1996) was used for this study. This test consists
of 22 statements self report survey which uses a Likert type 7-point scale for responses. An answer ranges from “never” to “every day”. Multiple
regression analysis was carried out to determine how much each demographic variable make an impact on three burnout sub-scales; emotional
exhaustion, depersonalization, and personl accomplishment. The results revealed that the three dimensions of Maslach's Invetory, and the teacher'
biographical characteristics have a very minute relationship and do not make any signicant inuence in predicting burnout of teachers.

IDIOPATHIC, TREATMENT RESISTANT, GIANT OESOPHAGEAL ULCER IN A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT.
Authors: Singh Vishal
Published: December 2019

Giant oesophageal ulcers (GOU) are variable dened as ulcers larger than 10-20 millimeters. The initial reports were
primarily in association with human immunodeciency virus (HIV). Since then they have been described in the setting of
organ transplant including hematopoietic stem cell and lung transplantation. Association with kidney transplantation is rare and only three such
cases have been described. The pathophysiology remains an enigma. We report a case of idiopathic, therapy unresponsive, GOU in a young male
with Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) related end stage kidney disease. Four months following the kidney transplantation he presented
with graft dysfunction, reoccurrence of basic disease, odynophagia and weight loss. The endoscopic evaluation showed two GOU in the distal
esophagus. The response to therapy was poor; it nally resolved spontaneously. Based on the temporal prole and the review of existing similar
case reports, we believe, these GOU represent an extra-renal manifestation of IgAN.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS AND INCIDENCE OF GLOBE SALVAGE AND PATIENT SURVIVAL IN THE CASES OF RETINOBLASTOMA
Authors: Sorathiya Bansari
Published: December 2019

PURPOSE: To study clinical characteristics of Retinoblastoma and analyze the occurrences of patient survival and globe
salvation.
METHODS: This is a prospective and non-randomized study involving retinoblastoma patients at a tertiary institute from May, 2017 to May,
2019. All patients underwent comprehensive medical assessment and illness management investigations. The given treatment was recorded,
including focal therapy, enucleation and chemotherapy.
RESULTS: Leukocoria was the foremost common presentation (60.68%) followed by proptosis (12.3%). The patient survival rate was 87.7%
whereas globe salvation was at 23.2% (19 eyes).
CONCLUSION: Most patients came for clinical examination for rst time at a later stage of disease, having high risk clinical features such as
positive family history, hyphema, and large tumor volume. More awareness and early stage diagnosis are of prime importance in order to achieve
globe salvation in retinoblastoma.
ADHERENCE TO ANTIEMESIS GUIDELINES IN A DAY CARE CHEMOTHERAPY UNIT: EXPERIENCE FROM A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE
Authors: Philip Arun
Published: December 2019

Among the side effects of cancer therapy, chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is the most distressing and
it affects the quality of life of patients and the treatment outcome. The study was undertaken to audit the adherence to antiemesis guidelines in the day care chemotherapy unit at our centre. Avast majority of our chemotherapies (85%) were high emetic risk regimes. We
found that the adherence to anti-emesis guideline was 57%. Among the cases of non adherence, a majority were over-treated (57%).
Looking into the reasons of non adherence, we feel the need to evolve our own population based guidelines. Improving public awareness about the
toxicities of chemotherapy will help in dispelling unwanted fear of toxicity. Improving awareness about anti-emetic guidelines among clinicians
also will play a major role in improving adherence to guidelines and thus improving outcome of therapy.
IATROGENIC MALE INFERTILITY WITH PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS IN RATS: CASE OF HALOPERIDOLAND CLOMIPRAMINE.
Authors: Miguel Landry Martial
Published: December 2019

Objective:To study the effects of haloperidol and clomipramine on fertility in male rats.
Material And Method: This is an analytical experimental study. Three lots of 5 rats were formed: distilled water lot at 0.5 ml/100g; Clomipramine
lot at 2 mg/kg/day; haloperidol lot 2.5 mg/kg/day. The diferent product were daily oraly administrated during 45 days. The study variables were:
testicular weights, spermogram and hormonal biomarkers (testosterone, FSH, LH).
Results: On the average testicular weight (in grams): control 1.3±0.05; haloperidol 1.2±0.20; clomipramine 1.19±0.009 and on the pH: control 6.8
±0.12; haloperidol 6.9±0.18; Clomipramine 6.8 ±0.2. There is no significant change in testicular weight and sperm pH compared to controls.
Concerning the vitality, number, and morphological abnormalities of sperm cells, there are no significant changes. Vitality in % : control 55.4±3.15,
haloperidol 44.9±6.20, Clomipramine 45.2±5.11 and sperm count (x106 / ml): (control 269.6±40.54, haloperidol 145.6±39.77, clomipramine
317.6±98.58). Sperm morphological abnormalities (% of normal morphology): (control 91.2; haloperidol 87.7; Clomipramine 81.8).
Clomipramine caused a very significant increase (p=0.0036) in the serum concentration of FSH and LH (in IU/l) (P=0.0001): for control LH 0.46;
clomipramine 3.46; for FSH: control 0.87; Clomipramine; however, there is an insignificant increase in testosterone (in ng/ml) with these two
psychotropic drugs (control 1.56; haloperidol 2.66; Clomipramine 2.9). However, no significant difference of reproductive hormons were
observed with haloperidol group (testosterone 2, 66; FSH 0, 72; LH 0, 26).
Conclusion: Haloperidol and Clomipramine affect male fertility: Clomipramine at the peripheral level and haloperidol at the central level.
COMPARISION OF RMI (RISK OF MALIGNANCY INDEX), ROMA (RISK OF OVARIAN
MALIGNANCYALGORITHM) AND R-OPS (RAJAVITHI OVARIAN CANCER PREDICTION
SCORE) ALGORITHMS IN PREDICTION OF OVARIAN MALIGNANCY IN ADNEXAL
MASS
Authors: S Sushma Rachel
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the most common gynecological cancer associated with increased mortality. Early diagnosis is the important
factor in improving the survival rate.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the performance of RMI, ROMAand R-OPS.
METHODS: A validation study was conducted where 60 patients with adnexal mass who were planned to undergo surgery were included.
Preoperatively, RMI and ROMAand R-OPS were calculated. The diagnostic performance of each was assessed and compared.
RESULTS: 60% had benign mass, 10% had borderline neoplasia and 30% had malignant lesion. In the premenopausal group, RMI had a superior
performance with a sensitivity of 75%. In postmenopausal group, R-OPS had a better performance followed by ROMA.
CONCLUSION: As a diagnostic tool, an algorithm combining ultrasound imaging and both the serum markers CA125 and HE4 would be more
accurate in prediction of malignancy in ovarian mass.
