Actual issues of work with the library staff at the present stage of librarianship development
Authors: Makeeva O. V.
Published: February 2019

The problem of working with library personnel is among the most discussed issues in the professional community over several decades. The analysis of publications and reports of public libraries has showed that the list of main topical problems has not changed for years; changes have mainly touched the issue content: the state of vocational education (infrastructure state and development, training quality, students outflow to other professions, interaction of universities and libraries as employers; professional development; the professional culture loss and degradation; the personnel management state; the profession image; the professional community rigidity; information lack on issues of working with personnel. As the most of these problems remain unsolved for several decades, it is possible to characterize the state of studying and taking measures to eliminate them as poorly satisfactory.

Published: February 2019

Scientometric studies have become an integral part of scientific libraries activities with introducing the state rating system in Russian science. Scientometric studies contribute to study long-term trends in the science development, help to discover interdisciplinary links between publications of scientists from various scientific organizations and different countries, and are a tool to determine the return and payback of public finances investments in science and research projects. Evaluation of scientists’ productivity, contribution of them and scientific organizations to the development of specific field of science or interdisciplinary research is one of the most important theoretical and applied problems in the science of science. Nowadays there is no clear methodology to assess the results of scientific activities in Russia, and all conclusions are based primarily on digital scientometric indicators, such as the number of the author’s publications and references to his work. The study objective is to determine which of the existing criteria, in combination with generally accepted indicators, can serve as a basis to form an idea about the level of contribution of organizations and authors to the interdisciplinary research development. The study has determined the boundaries of monitoring: 1. The level of organizations - scientific institutions of the Ural Federal District. 2. Time coverage: 2000-2018. 3. Subjects of the organizations under study: mathematics, mechanics and computer science; economic sciences; physical and technical sciences; chemical sciences; biological sciences; medical sciences; earth sciences; humanities; agricultural sciences; interdisciplinary problems. Research platforms are Web of Science and Scopus. In accordance with the systems approach principles, the author selects the following evaluation parameters: institute publications amount; documents types; years of publications for the whole period; leading authors; leading research directions; areas with low publications amount; co-sponsoring countries. Selected parameters tend to develop, grow and change, contribute to the information accumulation, further comparative analysis, reflect many scenarios when comparing the criteria. The author reveals a number of problems arising during the information collecting and analyzing: lack of organization profiles; incorrect affiliation; lack of a generally accepted form of words abbreviation in organization names; submitting the information on publications in the account of several organizations; a trouble of accounting the co-authors contribution to the scientific activity results.
Exclusive Breastfeeding and Decrease of Upper respiratory Infection Incidence among Infants Aged 6-12 Months in Kampar District, Riau Province
Authors: Rustam Musfardi , Mahkota Renti , Kodim Nasrin
Published: February 2019

Upper Respiratory Infection (URI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality of infants and toddlers in developing countries. The high infant morbidity and mortality rates in Indonesia are associated with the low exclusive breastfeeding ability. Breast milk is a natural drink for newborns in the first month of life that is beneficial not only for the babies, but also for mothers. The aim of study was to determine exclusive breastfeeding and decrease in incidence of URI among infants aged 6-12 months. This study was conducted by using case control design. Samples were taken by using cluster random sampling. Subject of study consisted of 162 cases and 162 control with infants aged 6-12 years. Cases were 162 infants aged 6-12 months suffering from URI within one last month and taken by mothers to primary health care that was selected location of study, while control was mothers who took their infants aged 6-12 months who did not suffer from URI within one last month to the selected primary health care. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate, stratification, and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. Results of study found that infants who were not exclusively breastfed were 1.69 times (95% CI: 1.02-2.80) more at risk of increasing URI incidence compared to infants who were breastfed exclusively after controlled by smoker in house and immunization variables. Health promotion of 6-month exclusive breastfeeding, provision of immunization, and anti-smoking program need to be implemented continuously to decrease the rates of morbidity and mortality due to URI disease.

Drug resistant TB patients had a greater risk of LTFU than drug-sensitive TB patients due to longer treatment duration. The aims of this study were to determine the influence of decentralization and type of patient to LTFU in MDR-TB patients in Indonesia. This study was conducted in May-June 2018 at Sub Directorate of TB - Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. The study design was retrospective cohort. Samples were taken in total sampling with a total of 961 patients. 86.3% of patients were decentralized. Based on the type, the patient consists of 35.17% relapse, 5.52% new, 13.94% after LTFU, 23.10% failure category 1, 20.29% failure category 2, 1.9 % other patients. In multivariate analysis revealed that decentralization reduced the probability of LTFU up to 46% (HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.35-0.84). For patient type, treatment after LTFU, failure category 2 and others increased the probability of LTFU by 50% (HR 2,02; 95% CI 1,18-3,45), 53% (HR 2,13; 95% CI 1,24-3,66), and 74% (HR 3,80; 95% CI 1,54-9,36) consecutively compared with the type of relapse patients (baseline). Health workers were suggested to spend more time in communicating, informing and educating about TB treatment and the benefits of decentralization to MDR-TB patients. Moreover, it is suggested to conduct patient type screening in the beginning of the treatment to be able to identify the risk of LTFU.

Authors: Kchaou Mariem , Bahrini Khadija , Belghith Meriam , Cherif Aroua , Maghrebi Olfa , Belal Samir , Barbouche Mohamed Ridha
Published: February 2019

Background: When the central nervous system (CNS) is the primary affected site in an initial attack of Behcet’s disease (BD), the differential diagnosis is particularly challenging. Some cases remain unclassified or qualified as probable Neuro-Behçet disease (NBD). Moreover, it was demonstrated that cytokines play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of NBD. We therefore studied peripheral and cerebrospinal inflammatory profile of these patients.
Methods: Twenty two parenchymal NBD patients diagnosed according to the international consensus recommendation criteria and classified into definite (d-NBD; n= 13) and probable (p-NBD ; n=9) were sampled at their first neurological symptoms and compared with healthy control subjects (n=10). Oligoclonal bands of IgG were detected by isoelectric focusing on agarose and immunoblotting of matched serum and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample pairs. Cytokines and transcription factors related to TH1, TH2, TH17 and T regulatory populations were studied by quantitative RT-PCR in the CSF.
Results: Oligoclonal bands (OCB) were present in only 1/22 patients. Two d-NBD patients had OCB in the CSF showing pattern 4. In NBD CSF samples, INF gamma, IL-17 and IL-10 expressions were significantly elevated compared with controls, however no difference in those cytokine expressions was observed between d-NBD compared to p-NBD. The most stricking finding was the significant increase of CSF IL-6 in d-NBD compared to p-NBD.
Conclusion:These results indicate the rare presence of OCB in parenchymal NBD patients. Additionally, CSF IL-6 could help us to identify definite NBD.

Published: February 2019

The analysis of scientific and practical approaches concerning the identification and classification of stakeholders, the definition of centers of influence on projects were carried out. It has been shown that there is insufficient attention paid to the aspects of proactive interaction with the stakeholders in the project management, the specificity of the projects for the ensuring of municipal energy efficiency is not taken into account. This article proposes to introduce the concept of the proactivity basis, identify the role of stakeholders of the municipal energy efficiency projects and the strength of their influence on the adoption of management decisions. The model of stakeholders of such projects is suggested taking into account the proactive influence on them. The model identifies stakeholders, their roles in municipal energy efficiency projects, and proposes appropriate proactive basis. The principles of proactive communication of the project of ensuring the municipal energy efficiency projects with stakeholders are formulated: the principle of common values, the principle of priority, the principle of continuous monitoring, the principle of feedback effectiveness, and the principle of strategic partnership. The method of proactive communication of the project management system is also developed, which will allow for proactive management of projects to ensure municipal energy efficiency.
CLARIFICATION OF AQUEOUS SUSPENSIONS WITH A HIGH CONTENT OF SUSPENDED SOLIDS IN RAPID SAND FILTERS
Authors: Polyakov Vadym , Kravchuk Andriy , Kochetov Gennadii , Kravchuk Oleksandr
Published: February 2019

The presented work is devoted to solving the actual problem of increasing the efficiency of rapid sand filters with granular filling, which operate at a constant filtration rate when cleaning suspensions with a relatively high concentration of contaminants. The proposed mathematical model for clarifying the suspension by filtration consists of three interconnected blocks: clarified, filtration, and hydraulic. Convenient dimensionless mathematical dependencies are obtained for calculating the concentrations of contaminants and sediment from the height of the filter and suspension in the filtrate; head loss in the filter loading; the effective time of the filter (the duration of the filter cycle). The design of the experimental setup and the methodology for conducting experimental studies and mathematical processing of the results are valid. The results of experimental studies of the suspension filtering process through the granular loading are presented, and the obtained data is analyzed. Measurement of pressure losses in the filter loading is performed when a suspension is passed with a relatively high concentration of contaminants at various filtration rates. The nature of the change in the filtration rate with time and height (length) loading at various filtration rates and initial contamination concentrations is determined. Measured variable concentration of suspended matter in filtered water and retained contamination over time. As a result of the experiments, it is confirmed that an increase in the concentration of retained contaminants S leads to an increase in the parameter Δn/n. Upon reaching a certain value of the concentration of the retained sediment S (in our case S=30 g/dm3), an increase in the relative specific volume of the sediment greater than Δn/n0=0.65 is not observed. It is established that an important characteristic of the retained sediment is the ratio of the volume concentration of the sediment to the volume concentration of solid particles in this sediment γ=Csd/Сs. The values of the adhesion and detachment of particles of contaminant in the particles of the material loading =4,9; =0,009. The results of experimental studies in general confirm the correctness and reliability of the obtained analytical dependencies.
CAPACITY ASSESSMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF GAS PIPELINES, RECEIVING AND TRANSPORTING GAS OF INLAND PRODUCTION

Published: February 2019

Today, the majority of gas fields in Ukraine are in the final stages of development, which is characterized by a significant decrease in wellhead pressure, as well as an increased gas-water factor. As is well known, when lowering wellhead pressure arises the problem of ensuring the design capacity of the gas production system as a whole.

The main function of the gas pipeline system of the gas producing company of Ukraine is collection of gas from deposits and transport natural gas to consumers.

Taking into account the tasks of ensuring the energy independence of Ukraine, as well as the program to build up gas of its own production, the question of assessing the capacity of the gas pipeline system remains relevant, performing the function of collection and transportation.

As part of the research, the current state of the gas collection and transportation system is analyzed. The workload of gas pipeline sections in the chain from the wellhead to the consumer is investigated. As a result, it is established that the initial sections of the gas production system are fully loaded. Areas that can be recharged are identified, as a result of which it will reduce the output pressure at the wellheads and stabilize hydrocarbon production.

On the basis of the conducted research, it is revealed that one of the alternative methods of increasing the capacity of the gas production system at the initial sections is to increase the equivalent diameter and length of the system by building new gas pipelines. It is also found that the periodic cleaning of pipelines in existing parts of the system prevents the decrease in capacity.

It has been established that reducing the backpressure of the system is possible only in conjunction with unloading the system by changing the flow directions, creating centralized gas collection points, as well as retrofitting existing booster compressor stations.

The availability of data on the load on the gas transmission system will allow the gas producing company to plan the distribution of gas to areas with available free capacity, while ensuring an increase in the production of its own gas. As a result, when the gas is distributed to areas with partial load, it will prevent excessive pressure losses in the system, as well as provide optimal system operation conditions.

Published: February 2019

At the Neft Dashlari deposit, in order to study the lithologic-petrographic and reservoir properties of deep-seated formations, as well as the regularity of their changes with depth, carbonate content, porosity, permeability, density, grain size distribution and speeds of propagation of longitudinal seismic waves from samples taken from exploration and prospecting wells. The minimum, average and maximum limits of the physical properties of the rocks were established. The dependence of reservoir properties and other physical factors on the depth of occurrence of the latter is considered. Our analysis of the influence of physical parameters of rocks on their permeability allows us to conclude that the main influence on permeability is exerted by the lithofacial composition, degree of sorting, carbonate content and type of porosity. However, the increased carbonate content of rocks can stimulate the appearance of fracturing in them, as well as cavernous leaching voids in the case of circulation of water in the formed cracks. These processes have a positive effect on reservoir properties, mainly on the permeability of high-carbonate rocks. Analyzing the results of these researches, it is possible to predict the oil and gas potential of deep-lying layers along with those already exploited.

Social media websites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are starting to become places, where people present and evaluate various events in the world: terrorist attacks in London, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels. What is more, these websites influence values of their users and readers. Technologies allow people to exchange views at the very moment of the event. The time zone, area, or other physical aspects of the platform participants do not matter. However, this ability might cause negative impact on the discussed social groups. The aim of this article – to analyse the discourse formation in media regarding refugees’ integration and humanitarian crisis in Europe. The goals of this study are: to figure out how the practices of public participation evidences in the context of communication through social media; to form a methodology according to up-to-date communicational concepts and analyse how the images of refugees are formed in social media; to reveal the main actors, involved in the formation of the discourse on refugees in Lithuania, by analysing the content in Facebook pages “Priimsiu pabėgėlį” (eng. “Refugees Welcome”) and “Visuomeninis komitetas prieš priverstinę imigraciją” (eng. “Public Committee against Forced Immigration”).
ORIGINAL EFFECTIVE, SAFE TECHNIQUE OF OBTAINING PLATELET RICH PLASMA BY CENTRIFUGATION OF THE BLOOD PLASMA IN MODIFIED SYRINGE CONTAINERS
Authors: Chetverikov Sergiy , Atanasov Dmitro
Published: February 2019

The aim: to develop, substantiate an effective and safe technology for producing PRP (platelet rich plasma). To quantify the substrate based on the recommended centrifugation protocols.

Materials and methods: the effectiveness of the original harvesting protocol was evaluated by quantifying the number of platelets. The proposed technique is formed basing on the basic principles of double centrifugation of whole blood in test tubes with anticoagulant, separation with the release of a plasma layer with a high content of platelets.

The centrifuging mode for quantifying the effectiveness of the substrate was selected according to recommendations based on a study confirming maximum efficiency (160g×10min + 250g×15min).

For quantitative evaluation, blood was collected from 10 healthy volunteers (7 men, 3 women) with an average age of 26.0±2.6, and centrifuged in standard mode. Quantitative evaluation of platelets of whole blood and the obtained PRP substrate was carried out with a semi-automatic analyzer.

Results: the proposed technique is based on the use as a container for centrifuging a syringe with a LuerLock design, which is hermetically sealed with a congruent plug, adapted by the external size of the centrifuge rotor bowl. Phase selection after centrifugation was performed by aspiration of the syringe contents after centrifugation is performed through a three-way valve. The substrate was obtained by repeated centrifugation of the contents, which allows obtaining a variable volume and platelet concentration in PRP. The amount of platelets (PLT) of whole blood is 227.0±57.0 thousand per ml. PLT PRP 945.0±279.0 thousand per ml.

Conclusions: the proposed method of separation of whole blood with the release of the platelet rich plasma demonstrates high efficiency, which corresponds to the level of increasing the number of platelets in reducing the volume at the level of the best ready-made solutions.

The equipment is economical and does not require highly specialized equipment and consumables. The proposed technique provides a wide choice to the performer in the received volume of the substrate.

Published: February 2019

Aim of the work. Determine the effectiveness of prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defects in the fetus and the informativeness of different markers used in the medical-genetic counseling of pregnant women..

Materials and methods. The analysis of the results of medical genetic counseling of pregnant women with fetal heart diseases was carried out. The effectiveness of using different methods of prenatal diagnosis in 67 pregnant women is estimated. The data of somatic, genealogical and reproductive anamnesis, biochemical markers of chromosomal pathology of the 1st and 2nd trimester of pregnancy, and the spectrum of the detected fetal heart disease were studied.

Results of the research. It was found that 46 (68.7 %) women had somatic diseases: pathology of the cardiovascular system (11.9 %); endocrine system - at 8 (11,9 %); respiratory disease – 3 (4.5 %) and urinary system – 2 (3.0 %). 13 (19.4 %) out of 67 women had acute respiratory viral infections in the first trimester of pregnancy. In 4 (6 %) cases - bad habits. The first time pregnant were 31 (46.3 %) women, 21 (31.3 %) – the second time, 10 (14.9 %) in the third, and 5 (7.5 %) in the fourth or more times. In history, 58 (86.6 %) women did not have reproductive function disorders, 8 (11.9 %) had unauthorized miscarriages and frozen pregnancy. The burden of gynecological anamnesis was observed in 12 (17.9 %) women, and hereditary - in 6 (9.0 %) women. In the structure of congenital defects of the heart, false anatomical anomalies were found more often: hypoplasia of the left heart organs – 14 (20.9 %), tetralogy of Fallot - 9 (13.3 %). Biochemical markers of chromosomal pathology in the first trimester in 11 (16.4 %) women recorded indicators that are characteristic of the risk of chromosomal pathology, and in the second trimester – in 9 (13.4 %). Two pregnant women used a NIPT (non-invasive prenatal test) test that did not detect chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. In 8 cases, invasive prenatal diagnosis of the fetus was recommended, which was carried out by three women, and five refused.

Conclusions. The peculiarities of somatic (in 46–68.7 % of women), reproductive (in 8-11.9 % of women) gynecological anamnesis (in 12–17.9 % of women), which can be the risk factors of congenital fetal heart disease, are revealed. In the structure of congenital defects of the heart of the fetus more often revealed hypoplasia of the left heart organs – 14 (20.9 %), tetralogy of Fallot – 9 (13.3 %). In 11 (16.4 %) women recorded indicators of biochemical markers, characteristic for the risk of chromosomal pathology, in the first trimester, and – in 9 (13.4 %) pregnant women – in the second trimester. Comparative data on prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defects in the fetus of chromosomal, monogenic and multifactorial etiology are given. On the basis of the obtained results an algorithm of medical-genetic counseling of this contingent of patients was offered.

Authors: Idris Mas Muhammad , Widyantoro Agus
Published: February 2019

In the twenty-first century life, the demand to become an intercultural speaker becomes very crucial. It is seen through the incremental important attention of having an intercultural communicative competence (ICC) which is seen as one of the main key competencies in global world-wide. This condition urges any teacher to master the ICC completely as to assist their students to become intercultural speakers in multicultural situations. However, this competence has not been noticed thoroughly by Indonesian EFL teachers since most of them are reluctant to develop their competence in term of integrating the elements of ICC into their teaching-learning process. Hence, this present article recommends a number of competencies related to ICC’s elements in which the Indonesian EFL teachers should have, namely, the linguistic, sociolinguistic, discourse, and intercultural competence which are considered able to aid the Indonesian EFL teachers in enhancing the students’ ICC.

We study (1+1)-dimensional non-linear sigma models whose target space
is the flag manifold
U(N)\over U(N_1)\times U(N_2)\cdots U(N_m),
with a specific focus on the special case U(N)/U(1)^{N}U(N)/U(1)N.
These generalize the well-known \mathbb{CP}^{N-1}ℂℙN−1
model. The general flag model exhibits several new elements that are not
present in the special case of the \mathbb{CP}^{N-1}ℂℙN−1
model. It depends on more parameters, its global symmetry can be larger,
and its ’t Hooft anomalies can be more subtle. Our discussion based on
symmetry and anomaly suggests that for certain choices of the integers
N_INI
and for specific values of the parameters the model is gapless in the IR
and is described by an SU(N)_1SU(N)1
WZW model. Some of the techniques we present can also be applied to
other cases.
Money laundering risk management tools based on determining the level of co-ordination of financial companies and credit unions
Authors: Vnukova Nataliya , Hontar Daria , Vorotyntsev Mykhaylo
Published: February 2019

The article proposes a tool for managing money laundering risk based on the definition of the level of coherence of financial companies and credit unions, the application of which will contribute to introduction of a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It was revealed that among the investigated during 2010-2017 financial corporations and credit unions there are financial conglomerates. This confirms the existence of close ties between them. Associated financial companies and credit unions may form or join networks that can be used for possible money laundering. It was established that the share of connected credit unions and financial companies corresponds to the principle of Pareto – 20:80. The proposed methodological support allowed selecting a large number of independent credit unions and financial companies. This will help to prevent the impact of the risk of connected individuals on the high ability of the borrower to fulfill their loan obligations and not to be involved in processes for money laundering using networks. Meanwhile, dedicated joint financial institutions belong to a high-risk group for controlling their financial operations to prevent the legalization of proceeds from crime.
Synthesis of information control devices which are transferred to diagnostic network with package composition
Authors: Losev Mikhail
Published: February 2019

In the context of growing requirements for the reliability of information and a reduction in the time of data delivery, the urgent task is the development of simple and effective means of control as a process of transmission of information and equipment in distributed systems. The problem of diagnosing the efficiency of distributed systems in data exchange networks with packet switching is considered in the paper. The proposed approach to the synthesis of data control devices is most effective in verifying the transmission of a multitude of packet messages over a datagram channel in time division mode and can be used in digital test device diagnostic systems as an initialization analyzer. The practical implementation of the proposed approach allows you to create devices that have achieved a significant reduction in hardware costs and simplify the technical implementation of signature analyzers. In this case, it is not necessary to store the input information, which provides the possibility of using different characteristic of polynomials, by automatically generating this information in the device. Parallel processing of message packets or diagnostic information allows to increase the speed of analyzers, with reception of signatures that equal the signature of a single-channel analyzer. Examples of synthesis of multichannel signature analyzers that are capable of high-speed data reliably process information, localize errors in the information input sequence and determine the number of the false packet in the message or the device from the group of verifiable devices are given.
Diasporic and Gendered Identities in Moroccan Transnational Cinema: Mohammed Ismail’s Ici et là (Here and There)
Authors: El-Hajjami Mouhcine , Slaoui Souad
Published: February 2019

The present paper aims at examining the extent to which Moroccan cinema could establish a diasporic visual discourse that cements national identity and contests the impact of westernization on migrants. Moreover, through the analysis the way in which independent identities are constructed in the host land, the article tries to incorporate a feminist discourse to highlight the role of the female subject in retrieving its own agency by challenging patriarchal oppression. Therefore, we argue that Mohammed Ismail’s feature-length film Ici et là (Here and There) has partially succeeded in creating a space for its diasporic subjects to build up their own independent identities beyond the scope of westernization and patriarchy.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an emission control system used in diesel engines to reduce NOx emissions. In this study, synthesized of catalyst for SCR system was investigated as experimentally. For this purpose, silver nitrate (AgNO3), niobium (V) chloride (NbCl5) and tetra amine platinum (II) nitrate (Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2) were used to coat the cordierite (2Al2O3-5SiO2-2MgO) structure with impregnation method. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) analyzes were carried out in order to determine the chemical and physical properties of the catalyst. Results showed that the coating materials penetrate the entire surface of the pores. It was also determined that the BET specific surface areas of the produced catalyst and cordierite are 0.2918 m2/g and 0.4568 m2/g, respectively. The reduction of surface area could be attributed to the increment of crystallization with chemical reactions occurred at the high sintering temperature. Besides, XRF analysis results demonstrated that content of Ag, Pt and Nb in the in the catalyst was found to be 3.67%, 0.19% and 0.12%, respectively, whereas Ag content in cordierite structure was 0.03%.

Yoğun bakım üniteleri, hayati önem arz eden tıbbi tedavi birimlerinden biridir. Bu ünitede yapılacak en küçük hata veya gecikme, telafisi olmayan sonuçlar doğurabilir. Yoğun bakımlarda başvurulan en önemli cihazlardan birisi, hastaya yapay solunum desteği veren mekanik ventilatörlerdir. Ventilatör seçimleri ve parametre ayarları, hastanın yaşamını devam ettirmesinde en önemli faktörlerdir. Bu nedenle, ventilatör seçiminin en doğru şekilde gerçekleştirilmesi kritik önem arz eder. Bu çalışmada, Adana ilindeki bir hastanenin çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesinde ventilatör seçimi için çok kriterli karar verme tekniklerinden Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi (AHP) ve bulanık TOPSIS yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Her iki yöntem neticesinde çıkan sonuçlar karşılaştırılmıştır. 
An ethnography of policy: water reuse policy in Kenya
Authors: Wakhungu M. J.
Published: February 2019

Water scarcity and inadequate infrastructure for sanitation are two challenges that are emblematic to Kenya and other developing nations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Under such circumstances, water reuse has the potential to address these challenges but only under a favourable policy environment. In this paper, policy documents were considered as the ethnographic object to understand how people talk about water reuse in Kenya through policies, plans, regulations and guidelines. Using a general inductive approach to content analysis, the findings suggest that Kenya's policy on water reuse has progressed, especially in the recognition of the potential of reused water for addressing water scarcity, pollution, cleaner industrial production, food production, and climate change adaptation and mitigation. While many of the water reuse issues have been discussed under water and irrigation, environment and industrialization, other key sectors such as food and agriculture, housing, urban development and health remain silent on water reuse. Therefore, there is a need to take water reuse conversations beyond the water, environment, and industrialisation sectors if we are to address the water supply and wastewater management issues. Likewise, the study reminds us of the importance of foregrounding public perception and harmonized institutional arrangements in the success of water reuse in the country.

Representações sobre o patrimônio na imprensa escrita de Joinville – o caso do Bar Tigre e da Casa Amarela
Authors: Marques Dias Maria Cristina , Guedes Sandra P. L. Camargo
Published: February 2019

Neste artigo propomos uma refl exão sobre representações sociais e imprensa, com base nas pesquisas sobre representações sociais de Serge Moscovici (2003), Roger Chartier (1988) e Sandra Jovchelovitch (2000) e sobre comunicação social de Pedrinho Guareschi (1991). A metodologia utilizada constou de pesquisa e análise das inserções publicadas nos jornais sobre o caso denominado popularmente de Bar Tigre e Casa Amarela, assim como de revisão bibliográfica, revisão da documentação oficial sobre o processo e realização de seis entrevistas orais com profissionais de imprensa e gestores do patrimônio. Observou-se como, com seu discurso, os veículos de comunicação contribuíram para a formação e a disseminação de representações sobre os imóveis. Nessas representações, patrimônio e história estavam relacionados, e as edificações foram apresentadas como sem valor histórico, “velharias” e obstáculos ao desenvolvimento proporcionado pelo supermercado que seria construído no local. Tal debate possibilitou a reflexão sobre temas amplos, como o que é patrimônio, sua ligação com a cidade e a necessidade de estabelecer novas regras para mediar essa relação.
Bosque Schmalz: uma herança contestada na cidade de Joinville (SC)
Authors: Radun Denis Fernando , Coelho Ilanil
Published: February 2019

Buscando uma aproximação interdisciplinar entre os campos do Direito e do patrimônio cultural, o artigo discute o jogo de atribuição de valores que sustenta e legitima, do ponto de vista cultural e jurídico, alguns patrimônios culturais edificados em nossas cidades contemporâneas. Para tanto, procura refletir e problematizar o caso da patrimonialização do Bosque Schmalz, localizado na cidade de Joinville, Santa Catarina, e os pedidos pela sua despatrimonialização, dirigidos em momentos diversos ao Órgão Federal de Preservação. Além da bibliografia pertinente, utilizamos como principal fonte de investigação o processo administrativo do tombamento do bosque como patrimônio nacional, aberto em 1965. A nossa análise busca apontar para alguns dos desafios colocados pelas e para as políticas de proteção do patrimônio cultural na contemporaneidade brasileira, especialmente no que diz respeito ao instituto do tombamento.

Irreversible hydrocolloids have been used in dental practice for decades and their pouring time has been suggested to be as short as possible; however the latest generation of alginates exhibit better properties, which could influence the fidelity of the casts. Objective: To evaluate the linear dimensional stability of stone casts obtained using two irreversible hydrocolloid brands (Cavex ColorChange and Jeltrate) after disinfection. Material and methods: Samples were divided into 16 groups (n = 10) according to brand, storage time and disinfection. Impressions were taken of a metallic master model made of stainless steel with two abutments. Cast models were obtained using type IV gypsum, after disinfection with sodium hypochlorite at 1% or without any disinfection followed by storage for four different times (immediate pouring, and after 24, 72 or 120 hours storage after obtaining the impressions) and the models were measured with a digital caliper. Data were submitted to ANOVA 3-way followed by Tukey’s test (α < 0.05). Results: A statistically significant difference was detected with Jeltrate Plus after 72 and 120 hours in storage (with and without disinfection), as well as Cavex without disinfection. Differences were found for Cavex with disinfection/24 hours storage, when compared to immediate pouring (P < 0.05). The alginates presented similar behavior regarding disinfection for the same time (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Storage longer than 24 hours affects the fidelity of casts. Disinfection does not promote significant alteration at any of the experimental times with either material.

Introduction and Objective: Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) also known as Zinsser-Engman- Cole Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder with a prevalence of less than one per million. Zinsser et al. described an inherited variant of ectodermal dysplasia that affected skin, nails and mucous membranes in early 1900s.The syndrome eventually came to be known as DC and is classified as one of the inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS). DC is the association of three clinical features: dystrophic nails, oral leukoplakia (white spots on the tongue and oral mucosa) and abnormal skin pigmentation. Case report and Conclusion: This case report describes a dental management of a case of DC. Fluctuating vital and blood parameters and deteriorating overall health status were major challenges delivering dental treatment. Dental extractions of this patient were done while maintaining blood parameters by blood and platelet transfusion.

In spite of advances in tuberculosis (TB) chemotherapy, TB is still airborne deadly disorder as a major issue of health concern worldwide today. Extensive researches have been focused to develop novel drug delivery systems to shorten the lengthy therapy approaches, prevention of relapses, reducing dose-related toxicities and to rectify technologically related drawbacks of anti-tubercular drugs. Moreover, the rapid emergence of drug resistance, poor patient compliance due to negative therapeutic outcomes and intracellular survival of Mycobacterium highlighted to develop carrier with optimum effectiveness of the anti-tubercular drugs. This could be achieved by targeting and concentrating the drug on the infection reservoir of Mycobacterium. In this article, we briefly compiled the general aspects of Mycobacterium pathogenesis, disease treatment along with progressive updates in novel drug delivery carrier system to enhance therapeutic effects of drug and the high level of patient compliance. Recently developed several vaccines might be shortly available as reported by WHO.
