Authors: Pande Ashish , Gogoi Biraj , Dubey Sandeep , Mishra Anil Kumar
Published: June 2019

Background: Prevalence of DVT in patients with sub-acute and chronic SCI has only been reported in a limited number of studies. Knowing the incidence of thromboembolic events in the sub-acute and chronic rehabilitation phase is important to estimate disease risk and facilitate evidence based prevention. We sought to determine the prevalence of DVT in patients of subacute and chronic phases post spinal cord injury without any chemical prophylaxis.

Methods: Between June 2016 and April 2018, all cases of sub-acute and chronic spinal cord injury, undergoing rehabilitation at our centre were studied. Patients with pre-existing coagulopathy/hypercoagulable state/ bleeding diathesis or on medications for these conditions, tobacco smokers, chronic alcoholics and obese individuals were excluded from the study. All patients enrolled in the study were given mechanical DVT prophylaxis and followed institutional rehabilitation protocol. They were evaluated at 3 months, 6 months and 9 months by clinical examination and CDFI for any evidence of DVT.

Results: Out of 60 patients studied, 04 patients developed DVT (3 in ASIA grade A and 1 in ASIA grade B patient). 75% (3 cases) of the cases were detected in the first 3 months and only one case was detected between 3-6 moths post Spinal cord injury. The prevalence of DVT in our study, in subacute and chronic cases of spinal cord injury was 6.67%.

Conclusions: Our study is in concurrence with the existing literature about the low prevalence of DVT in Southeast Asian population which doesn’t warrant DVT chemoprophylaxis in subacute and chronic SCI cases.

Princesa Isabel, a municipality located in the backwoods of Paraíba state, Brazil, has a vast historical wealth and carries an inheritance from the striking periods of the past, such as historical buildings, records of the 1930’s Revolt and the cultural traditions of its people. The rescue and preservation of its history strengthens the identity of the people in their own territory, however, the Paraíba state still needs investments in the sector to modernize the way of registration of its cultural heritage. Based on the technologies currently available, with emphasis to the geoprocessing, it is appropriate to use collaborative mapping techniques to record and share information, with a goal to the preservation and dissemination of history. Because it is a constantly evolving technology, a simple, free and practical solution is presented through the use of GIS Cloud and smartphone as equipment to collect geo-referenced data. Therefore, the objective of this work was to map the cultural heritage of Princesa Isabel (PB) using a smartphone and applications capable of executing the geoprocessing for collecting, storing, managing and sharing georeferenced data. The dynamic maps produced provide information synthesized in a user-friendly interface that makes navigation easier to any user. These maps are shared in Google My Maps. Thus, a secure record about the cultural heritage of the municipality was reached, whereby the technology employed proved to be timely, practical, cheap and accessible.

Brazil is a great generator of domestic waste, cooking oil is one of those residues, which presents, besides the difficulty of its disposal, few solutions of reuse. Thus, it is necessary to create new applications and / or destinations for this material. This work presents a feasibility study of a sustainable mortar for coating and laying, which has cooking oil residue as an additive, in order to enable the reuse of these residues in the IFPB Cajazeiras Campus. The addition was made in the proportions of body of reference without addition, 5ml, 10ml and 15ml. The properties of the mortars were analyzed both in fresh and hardened state and according to the results obtained, they can be classified according to ABNT NBR 13281: 2005, as P3, M6, D2. As for mechanical strength of axial compression, results indicated decrease of resistance in the mortars with residue insertion, this reduction was due to the increasing of addition, the same occurred with the consistency of the mortar. Despite the results, the research presents its importance, since the search for new technologies and the recycling of waste is increasing, it is considered a sustainable alternative to mitigate impacts on the environment.

In view of the advances in technology and its participation in the daily lives of the population, the use of smartphones has become very popular, and it is interesting to understand consumers’ buying behavior. The objective of the present study is to analyze how the buying behavior of smartphone consumers occurs, and it has as a sample the students of the IFPB (Federal Institute of Education of Paraíba), João Pessoa campus. In order to do so, we have defined the social profile of the students of the campus and have described the steps of the decision process of smartphones purchase by students. Last but not least we have checked the influence of the groups of reference in the decision process of smartphones purchase of the pupil. The method used was the application of questionnaires with the students of the campus. The results indicated that the most common profile in campus belongs to young single women, with family income of up to two minimum wages. The perception of the need to buy by young people occurs after loss or theft, the need to use the internet to search for information., Analysing the alternatives, they use the following criteria: quality, reliability and price. When they decide to buy the smartphone, they use quality as the main criterion and feel satisfied at the postpurchase moment. Still, as far as reference groups are concerned, most people take into account the opinions of family and friends.

Published: June 2019

Electrical parameters of Erbium Oxide (Er2O3)
MOS capacitors depending on frequency were investigated deeply, in this paper.
Er2O3 layers were deposited on p–Si substrates with (100)
oriented using RF–magnetron sputtering method. The films were annealed at 500 oC
in N2 environment. C–V characteristic changes reduce with increasing
frequency. G/ω–V characteristic variations show different behavior between
10–250 kHz and 250 kHz–1 MHz. It is thought that these different behaviors are
caused by interface states between silicon and Er2O3
layer, series resistance (Rs) effects and the relaxation time of
trapped states. The Rs values calculated by the Cma and Gma
values at the high frequency and decrease with rising frequency. Then, Cc­­–V
and Gc/ω–V characteristic curves were measured and compared to first
measurements. In addition, interface state density (Dit), diffusion
potential (VD), and barrier height (B) were calculated and these results demonstrate
similar behaviors.
Determination of Biogas Energy Potential of Aegean Region Based on Animal Waste
Authors: AKYÜREK Zuhal , COŞKUN Semih
Published: June 2019

Biogas is one the promising sustainable energy options due to high
availability of organic wastes. Turkey is an energy importer country and
diversification of the energy production with indigenous resources is vital for
energy security. In Turkey, agricultural activities and livestock farming have
important economic value. Biogas production from anaerobic digestion of organic
wastes such as livestock manure is of great importance for renewable energy
production and waste management for health and environmental protection. In
this study, the animal manure based biogas potential, energy value, greenhouse
gas emission reduction potential and organic fertilizer generation capacity of
the Aegean Region of Turkey were determined. The region is composed of eight provinces
including Afyonkarahisar, Aydın, Denizli, İzmir, Manisa, Muğla, Kütahya, and
Uşak. The results revealed that Aegean Region has 528 million m3/year
biogas potential corresponding to 2.64 TWh energy generation capacity. In
addition, 0.6 million ton/year of organic fertilizer can be produced as the
residual of the biogas plants. Utilization of animal wastes in biogas
generation plants can contribute to the global climate change combat by
reducing CO2 emissions about 4.6 million tons/year. Within the Aegean
Region, Manisa has shown the highest biogas potential whereas İzmir has the
highest amount of organic fertilizer production potential.
Confidence Interval based Quality Improvement for Non-normal Responses
Authors: ZEYBEK Melis
Published: June 2019

Robust parameter design is an effective tool to determine the optimal
operating conditions of a system. Because of its practicability and usefulness,
the widespread applications of robust design techniques provide major quality
improvements. The usual assumptions of robust parameter design are that
normally distributed experimental data and no contamination due to outliers. Optimizing
an objective function under the normality assumption for a skewed data in
dual-response modeling may result in misleading fit and operating conditions
located far from the optimal values. This creates a chain of degradation in the
production phase, e.g., poor quality products. This paper focuses on skewed
experimental data. The proposed approach is constructed on the confidence
interval of the process mean which makes the system median unbiased for the
mean using the skewness information of the data.  The response modeling of the midpoint of the
interval is proposed as a location performance response. The main advantages of
the proposed approach are that it gives a robust solution due to the skewed
structure of the experimental data distribution and does not need any
transformation which causes any loss of information in estimation of the mean
response. The procedure and the validity of the proposed approach are
illustrated on a popular example, the printing process study
Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity in Allium cepa L. Root Meristem Cells Exposed to the Herbicide Penoxsulam
Authors: LİMAN Recep , ÖZKAN Seçil
Published: June 2019

Penoxsulam is a new sulfonamide herbicide used on rice crops for annual
grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges control, either grown through
transplanting or direct dry or direct seeding methods of planting. In this
study, Allium cepa ana-telophase and
comet assay were used to examine the cyto-genotoxic effects of herbicide
penoxsulam on A. cepa roots. A. cepa bulbs were exposed to ½xEC50
(12.5 µg/L), EC50 (25 µg/L) and 2xEC50 (50 µg/L) concentrations of penoxsulam for
24, 48, 72 and 96 h. Distilled water and 10 ppm of methyl methanesulfonate (MMS)
were used as negative and positive control groups, respectively. Penoxsulam
showed a cytotoxic effect by reducing root growth and mitotic index (MI), a
genotoxic effect because it statistically increased chromosome aberrations
(CAs, anaphase bridge, chromosomal laggards, polyploidy, disturbed ana-telophase
and stickiness) and DNA damage as compared to control. Liquid
chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was also used for
quantitative analysis of penoxsulam in A.
cepa root meristem cells. Further molecular toxicological evaluations
associated in the cyto-genotoxicity of penoxsulam on plants are needed to
confirm these results

Published: June 2019

O setor avícola brasileiro vem ganhando cada vez mais competitividade. Mas, entre as principais preocupações estão as doenças veiculadas por alimentos-DTAs. Salmonella se destaca entre os agentes biológicos veiculados por alimentos. Outra questão associada a patógenos é o aumento da resistência bacteriana aos antimicrobianos. Nesta pesquisa buscou-se identificar e caracterizar isolados de sorotipos de Salmonella sp. de uma cadeia produtiva de frango de corte, analisando o perfil de susceptibilidade a antimicrobianos. Amostras de frango foram obtidas de ambiente aviário, de cadeia produtiva no Sul do Brasil. Foram isoladas 23 linhagens de Salmonella enterica subesp. enterica sorotipo Heidelberg:n=16, e outras pertencentes aos sorotipos: Agona (n=1); Cubana (n=1) Virchow (n=1) Rissen (n=1); Schwarzengrund (n=1); M.Bandaka (n=1) e Anatum (n=1). O perfil de susceptibilidade antimicrobiana foi testado por disco difusão em ágar Mueller-Hinton, com os antimicrobianos: Fosfomicina 200µg, Ceftiofur 30µg, Norfloxacina 10µg, Ciprofloxacina 5µg, Enrofloxacina 5µg, Gentamicina 10µg, Neomicina 30µg e Florfenicol 30µg. S. enterica subsp. enterica sorotipo Typhimurium CCCD-S004 foi utilizada como padrão/controle. A incubação foi realizada a 35±1° C/24h. Florfenicol foi o antibiótico no qual houve maior número de linhagens resistentes (8,7%). O sorotipo Salmonella Schwarzengrund foi resistente também a vários antimicrobianos. Salmonella sp. é recorrente na cadeia produtiva de frango de corte e a resistência aos antimicrobianos exige monitoramento constante e novas medidas de controle de disseminação do patógeno.

Os defeitos do sistema nervoso acometem 1 a 10:1.000 dos nascidos vivos e são as malformações mais comuns detectadas nos fetos, sendo a maioria delas diagnosticada pelo ultrassom do segundo trimestre da gestação. A encefalocele, que consiste na herniação do cérebro e/ou das meninges através de um defeito na calota craniana, está entre os quatro principais defeitos do fechamento do tubo neural durante o desenvolvimento embrionário. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre encefalocele occipital e apresentar um relato de caso de natimorto diagnosticado com essa malformação. Para a revisão bibliográfica foram consultadas bases de dados nacionais e internacionais referentes ao período de dezembro de 2016 a agosto de 2018; já no relato de caso fez-se a descrição de exames clínicos e imaginológicos, bem como a evolução clínica da paciente. Parte das anomalias relacionadas aos defeitos de fechamento do tubo neural, como a encefalocele, não apresenta uma causa específica conhecida, dessa forma, faz-se necessária a divulgação de estudos explorando de forma detalhada esse tema.

Published: June 2019

O presente trabalho analisa os direitos fundamentais de terceira geração a partir do consumo e meio ambiente, inserindo-os na concepção de direitos fraternos e solidários na sociedade globalizada. Inicialmente se faz uma genealogia dos Direitos Fundamentais e se analisa seus principais conceitos ao longo do tempo. A seguir se estuda o consumo como supressão, onde se verifica as contrariedades que a sociedade de consumo pode apresentar, inclusive o consumocentrismo quando relacionada aos direitos de terceira geração. Se apresenta a partir desta seção é de que não acontece uma globalização do direito ao consumo, mas uma globalização da proteção de consumidores atomizados. Após se observa o consumo como forma de realização, onde se verifica que os Direitos Fundamentais de terceira geração, antes de serem naturalmente suprimidos pela prática consumerista, podem ser, de certo modo, efetivados através da cidadania presente no consumo, possibilitando uma base integrativa e a sua eficácia entre a sociedade e o direito. O método utilizado é o analítico. Conclui-se que há alternativas que permitem a efetivação desses direitos de terceira geração na sociedade de consumocentrista hodierna.
Evolution interpretation and the European consensus before the European court of human rights
Authors: Bureš Pavel
Published: June 2019

The interpretation of the European convention on human rights has been shaped by rich jurisprudence of the European Court of human rights which on several occasions had to resort to so-called evolutive interpretation based on the concept of European consensus. This article focuses on basic elements of the interpretation of the Convention ant its position in the application of conventional rights. It gives first a general historical presentation, then deals with different perspectives playing a role for a better understanding of evolutive interpretation and finishes with a general presentation of European consensus which is a key element for evolutive interpretation.

Existe entonces un gran reto para quienes enfoquen su trasegar profesional en esta área.
Should Levetiracetam or Imepitoin Be Used in Preference as Second-line Treatment in Pharmacoresistent Epileptic Cats?
Authors: Wyatt Sophie Elizabeth
Published: June 2019

PICO questionIn adult cats with idiopathic epilepsy, which is poorly controlled with phenobarbital monotherapy, should levetiracetam or imepitoin be used in preference as a second line treatment in order to reduce seizure frequency?Clinical bottom lineThere is currently insufficient evidence to reliably determine whether levetiracetam or imepitoin should be used in preference as a second line treatment for the management of cats with refractory idiopathic epilepsy. There is weak evidence however to suggest clinical efficacy of levetiracetam and imepitoin in management of cats with idiopathic epilepsy. Further studies which evaluate and directly compare the efficacy of second line anticonvulsants in feline epilepsy are needed.
Medical choice of chronic patients in a large Russian сity: Situations, practices, factors
Authors: Lekhtsier Vitaliy L. , Gotlib Anna S. , Finkelshtein Irina E.
Published: June 2019

This article is devoted to the main results of a quantitative empirical study of patients’ choice in a large Russian city. The object of this study was the chronic patients of Samara city, selected using a two-step sample method according to the following criteria: disease type, gender, age (N = 510 p). Research was conducted using the semi-formal interview method. Methodologically the study goes back to an approach which was developed within the framework of cognitive medical anthropology in the theoretical and empirical works of American anthropologists Lynda Garro and James Young, which formulated the principles of the Study of Medical Choice, and the Decision-Making Approach. For this research the problem matter of “remission society”, developed by sociologists and anthropologists Anselm Strauss, Arthur Kleinman and Arthur Frank, is very much relevant. In the article, the results of the choices that chronic patients make out of the alternatives available (appeal to state and non-state biomedicine, to different forms of unconventional medicine, medical and non-medical self-treatment) are structured according to three main situations in an ill patient’s life. These are the following: the situation of first encountering the disease (“the debut of the disease”); the situation of diagnosis and prescription of treatment; the situation of the illness transitioning to a chronic state (exacerbation or control over the disease). It is shown that these situations of choice differ from each other not only by the range of available alternatives for making medical decisions by chronic patients (this conclusion was obtained at the first qualitative stage of the study, brief results of which are also presented in the article), but also by quantitative representation of identical alternatives . Thus, we can observe a significant increase in self-treatment in the third situation, caused by a number of subjective and objective reasons, as well as a significant increase in the proportion of respondents who turned to practitioners of unconventional medicine in a situation after a diagnosis was made. The principles of Study of Medical Choice are adapted in the study to the institutional conditions of the Russian healthcare system, with its inherent range of choices and factors that influence the patient’s medical decision-making. Knowledge of these decisions is necessary in order to understand the direction for reforming the Russian healthcare system and in order to organize medical care which satisfies the needs of patients.
This article also presents the results of analyzing certain factors that have seriously affected, based on the respondents’ opinions, a specific solution in the situations studied. A hierarchy of representation of these factors is described for each disease situation.
A quantitative representation of solutions inherent to noncompliance was revealed, such as refusing drugs, searching for another doctor, double-checking the diagnosis.
Large Families in Regions: Mechanisms of Exclusion and Stereotypes
Authors: Smoleva Elena O.
Published: June 2019

The main problem with large families is their social vulnerability caused by exclusion, the latter referring to the restriction of access to public benefits, the inability of people to participate in important aspects of social life. This study aims at identifying social stereotypes which intensify exclusion and (or) prevent the inclusion of large families. The study is based on data from surveys of the population of the North-Western Federal District conducted by VolRC RAS in 2016–2017, as well as materials of qualitative research (focus groups with multi-child parents). As a result, various mechanisms of exclusion (social, economic, personal) and social stereotypes corresponding to each mechanism are defined. The author classifies families with many children by their degree of social exclusion, taking into account the risk of limiting access to various resources. The study shows that mothers with many children face a heightened risk of exclusion. The study reveals stereotypes of parents with several children regarding their willingness to change the situation, while identifying factors that prevent inclusion in labor activity: “alienation”, “external reasons”, “personal characteristics”. The analysis shows that widespread practices of social inclusion include hopes for state support, believing in a lack of effective mechanisms for solving employment problems, a lack of benefits from social support and a decrease in the attractiveness of altruistic ideas in society. The novelty of the results lies in identifying the groups within multi-child families that differ in the level of risk of exclusion, as well as in the contribution of social and personal mechanisms to their exclusion, and indentifying the resources for inclusion among large families.
Life without Labor? It’s Natural
Authors: Shipilov Andrey V.
Published: June 2019

As a result of the development of automation and robotization in the economy of developed countries, the need for labor is reduced, which entails a decline in employment. Given the preservation of existing trends, the labor society is transformed into a rent society, with leisure being the main occupation of the majority of its members. In this regard, concerns are voiced about the loss of habitual meaning of life and, as a consequence, the degradation of the individual and society. The author puts forward a thesis that social activity is more natural (that is, biologically conditioned) for a human being than labor. In support of this fact factual evidence is given, which indicates that for most of their history people have practiced an appropriating economy, which allowed for achieving maximum production with minimal labor. Thus, members of pre-agricultural and extra-agricultural communities could devote most of their time to rest, communication and a variety of group rituals. It is possible that in the emerging post-labor society there will be a similar situation, and the close future might turn out to be similar to the distant past.
“Red”and“White” in the Political Transit of Modern Russia. [Rev.] [The Elections on the Backdrop of the Crimea: Electoral Cycle 2016–2018 and the Prospects of Political Transit.] Ed. by V. Fedorov. Moscow: VCIOM publ., 2018
Authors: Sadokhin Alexander P.
Published: June 2019

This book presents an analysis of various aspects of contemporary political behavior of Russians, and a political forecast for the future policy after 2024. In other words, the leitmotif of the book is a detailed and thorough analysis of the current political preferences of Russian citizens and their transformation in the context of future political processes. The monograph explicitly presents the results of three surveys and provides in-depth analysis.

A special merit of the book is the “futurology” section, which tries to determine the future character of domestic policy. The authors believe that its contours are already becoming all the more apparent in real life. Another merit of the book is its discussion, which offers different approaches and opinions in a comparative context when it comes to assessing the analyzed political processes and phenomena. Groups of evaluations which starkly contrast each other we metaphorically labeled as “white” and “red”.

What also makes this book valuable is the fact that it can serve as a guide when studying political science in universities and in special training of practical political strategists, particularly in relation to the methodology for analyzing and evaluating political processes of modernity.

Published: June 2019

This book systematizes and analyzes the visual material of “red” and “white” propaganda from the period of the Russian Civil war. Representation of war is considered through the prism of images of its participants, found on posters, cartoons, postcards, leaflets, propaganda porcelain and other visual artifacts of the period. The classification of images is based on the social group affiliation of the depicted characters. Given such an approach, the focus is on representatives of groups — participants of civil confrontation, typical actors, visual clichés of “friends” and “enemies”. The work is carried out using an extensive source base concerning the ideological confrontation of that time, domestic and foreign literature devoted to the visualization of the events taking place then.

Published: June 2019

Introduction: Excessive portal venous pressure in the liver remnant is an independent factor in the occurrence of posthepatectomy liver failure and small-for-size syndrome. The baseline portal pressure prior to hepatectomy was not considered previously. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of portal pressure change during hepatectomy on the patient outcome.Material and Methods: Prospective observational study including 30 patients subjected to intraoperative measurement of portal pressure before and after hepatectomy. This variation was related to the patient outcome. Control group evaluation was assessed. Patient, disease and procedure features were considered. The optimal cut-off of portal pressure variation was determined. Linear regression or logistic regression was applied to identify predictors of the outcome.Results: The univariate analysis showed that portal pressure increase after hepatectomy was associated with coagulation impairment in the first 30 postoperative days (p < 0.05), and with the occurrence of major complications (p = 0.01), namely hepatic failure (p = 0.041). The multivariate analysis showed that portal venous pressure increase ≥ 2 mmHg is an independent factor for worse outcomes.Discussion: As in previous studies, this study concludes that, after hepatectomy, in addition to the functional liver remnant, other factors are responsible for deterioration of liver function and patient outcome, such as the portal pressure increase and the exposure to chemotherapy prior to hepatectomy. This work may influence the definition of future indications for portal influx modulation.Conclusion: Patient outcomes are influenced by the portal venous pressure increase: an increment ≥ 2 mmHg after hepatectomy seems to increase the risk of major complications.
O processo de internacionalização na/da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) – Brasil
Authors: Rodríguez Margarita Victoria , Andrade Silvia Helena Brito de , Paiva Flávia Melville
Published: June 2019

Nos anos 1980, se intensificou a internacionalização da educação superior, especialmente nos países europeus e na América do Norte, por meio de uma série de iniciativas que buscavam consolidar as instituições universitárias no plano internacional. Este processo se expandiu para o restante dos países durante os anos 1990, por meio de diversas ações: projetos de pesquisas conjuntas; mobilidade docente, discente e de servidores; eventos; extensão de campus em outros países e interculturalidade no currículo. Nos anos 2000 a internacionalização se intensificou e atingiu grande parte das instituições brasileiras, tornando-se um aspecto constitutivo da missão social das universidades, junto à pesquisa, ensino e extensão. O artigo analisa o processo de implantação e consolidação da internacionalização na Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), destacando como ela é entendida e se expressa em suas diretrizes institucionais, bem como as estratégias e procedimentos adotados, visando a consolidação e expansão do processo de internacionalização. Para tal, foram analisados documentos e normas legais, tais como o Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI) 2015-2019; Plano de Gestão Institucional e Relatórios de Gestão (2000-2017) e o Plano Institucional de Internacionalização (2018-2022). Como resultado, se verificou que inicialmente a internacionalização não era uma política institucional, mas lentamente se identifica um interesse por instituir ações com esse objetivo, até chegar-se a constituição de um Plano Institucional de Internacionalização, aprovado em 2018. Nota-se também que a concepção e fundamentação das ações de internacionalização baseiam-se no entendimento clássico e tradicional de transferência de conhecimento, por meio da inovação científica e tecnológica.

Published: June 2019

A Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná - UNIOESTE caracteriza-se como uma universidade multicampi, situada numa região de tríplice fronteira formada pelo Brasil, Argentina e Paraguai, abrangendo 94 municípios das regiões Oeste e Sudoeste do Estado do Paraná. Instituída como Universidade desde 1994, a Unioeste tem buscado instituir uma política de internacionalização. Embora possua em sua estrutura organizacional uma Assessoria de Relações Internacionais e Interinstitucionais desde a sua implantação, somente nos últimos dois anos é que foi regulamentada na universidade, uma política institucional de Internacionalização, por intermédio de uma Resolução do Conselho Universitário, aprovada em 2017. Durante os vinte anos anteriores, o que ocorreu na Unioeste, foram ações isoladas de atividades internacionais ou participação em Programas de Mobilidade. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar a realidade institucional da nossa universidade em relação ao processo de internacionalização nos últimos 22 anos, em que passa de uma condição passiva de internacionalização para o início de uma consolidação de sua política institucional. Na apresentação e discussão buscar-se-á consubstanciar o conceito de internacionalização que mediatiza os trabalhos e intencionalidades da Unioeste no âmbito da política de mobilidade estudantil, de docentes e servidores e o percurso para se chegar a uma política institucional de internacionalização. Para alcançar esse objetivo, utiliza-se uma metodologia analítica de dados sobre mobilidade, leitura de bibliografia acerca do tema e uma qualificação das informações, a partir dos conceitos trabalhados.

Authors: Ari Desak Putu Sudarmi , Yonatasya Firda Dean , Saftiarini Gita , Prananingrum Widyasri
Published: June 2019

Background: Porous scaffold is one type of biomaterial primarily employed as a bone substitute material which demonstrates superior osteoconductive and osteointegrative properties than solid scaffold since it can stimulate and accelerate the growth of new tissue. For the purposes of this study, porous scaffold was produced using hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) powder derived from a synthesis of blood cockle (Anadara granosa) shells and gelatin. Purpose: The aim of this study was to reveal the effects of the percentage of gelatin in HA-TCP scaffolds derived from 6- and 12-hours sintering processes involving blood cockle shells on porosity. Methods: HA-TCP powder was derived from a synthesis of Anadara granosa shells using a hydrothermal method at 200oC with sintering periods of 6 and 12 hours. A XRD test was subsequently conducted to reveal the compositions of HA-TCP powder. The 24 scaffold samples (n=6) employed were manufactured using a freeze dry method before being divided into four groups, namely; Group 1 using 25% HA-TCP powder (a six-hour sintering process) combined with 20% gelatin, Group 2 using 25% HA-TCP powder (a six-hour sintering process) combined with 10% gelatin, Group 3 using 25% HA-TCP powder (a twelve-hour sintering process) combined with 20% gelatin; and Group 4 using 25% HA-TCP powder (a twelve-hour sintering process) combined with 10% gelatin. A scaffold porosity test was subsequently carried out using a liquid displacement method. A one-way ANOVA test was performed using SPSS, followed by a Post-Hoc LSD (p<0.05). Results: The statistical results for scaffold porosity were within the range of 67.21 -77.51%. The highest porosity was found in Group 3, while the lowest was in Group 4. Significant differences were also present in all groups. Conclusion: Variations in the percentage of gelatin can affect the porosity of HA-TCP scaffolds derived from 6-and 12 hours sintrering processes blood cockle shells. The smaller the percentage of gelatin, the higher the porosity.

Published: June 2019

Background: Post-extraction dental sockets clinically resolve within a period of 3-4 weeks. However, complete healing and bundling of gingival fibers may require several months. Medication is therefore required to accelerate the healing process. Cosmos caudatus (C. caudatus), a local plant with antioxidant properties and high calcium content, has the potential to promote wound healing while also reportedly capable of strengthening bone. Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of C. caudatus as an alternative treatment for post-menopausal osteoporosis by investigating the dynamic and cellular parameters of bone histomorphometry. Purpose: The study aimed to examine the citotoxicity and proliferation of human gingival fibroblast cells culture after the application of C. caudatus extract. Methods: Cultures of human gingival fibroblast cells with 5x104 cell density were divided into two groups and placed in a 30-well culture dish. The control group contained human gingival fibroblast cell culture without extract, while the experimental group consisted of human gingival fibroblast cells culture with extract. The concentrations of extract were 1200 μg/ml, 600 μg/ml, 300 μg/ml, 150 μg/ml, and 75 μg/ml. A toxicity test was conducted and the optimum concentration evaluated using an MTT assay, while fibroblast numbers on were calculated days 1 and 2 by means of a hemocytometer. Research data was analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. Results: No toxicity was found. The optimum concentration was 600 μg/ml and fibroblast proliferation was significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group, p=0.002 (P<0.05). Conclusion: C. caudatus leaf extract is non-toxic and increases the proliferation of human gingival fibroblast culture at an optimum concentration of 600 μg/ml.

Background: Coughing is a defense mechanism of the lung against several stimulants as well as to protecting the lung from any trauma. A long period of coughing about more than 8 weeks considered as Chronic coughing. Based on TCM, coughing is a manifestation of the lung which caused by an exogenous factor (such as cold wind and warm wind); and endogenous factor. It is classified as “ke” (coughing with loud sound without producing sputum) and “sou” (coughing with weak sound, however, producing sputum). Purpose:  To know the effect of acupuncture therapy (Hegu LI4, Lieque LU7, Chize LU5) combined with herbs therapy (Curcuma domestica Val. and Glycyrrhiza Glabra L.) to reduce the Chronic coughing period. Methods: Acupuncture points were given 12 times within once per 2 days. The herbal therapy was given for 30 days in the form of tea drink twice per day, with a dose of each containing 4gr (1 tea bag). Result: The period of coughing were deteriorating, as well as improving the immune condition which was shown in hematological data of white blood cells. Conclusion: The combined therapy showed to diminish the chronic coughing within 30 days
