Recommendations for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Gray Cori , Stern Craig
Published: November 2020

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system characterized by trembling or shaking of a limb, rigidity or stiffness of limbs, an inability to move, and impaired balance and coordination. Most symptoms begin to occur when neurons that produce dopamine in the substantia nigra of our brain die or become impaired. Dopamine is a chemical messenger that sends signals to our brain to produce smooth muscle movements. Without the neurons that create dopamine, our brain becomes unable to produce these muscle movements. Another pathological feature is the appearance of intracytoplasmic inclusions (Lewy bodies) in the remaining, intact nigral neurons.
Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atheroscelerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults
Authors: Gray Cori , Stern Craig
Published: November 2020

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance our body needs to build cell membranes, make certain hormones and produce substances that aid in the digestion of fat. Two kinds of lipoproteins carry cholesterol throughout your body: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDL cholesterol typically makes up 60–70 percent of the total serum cholesterol in our body and is the primary target of therapy. A high LDL level leads to a buildup of cholesterol in arteries. Hyperlipidemia occurs when your blood has too many lipids (or fats), such as cholesterol and triglycerides. Hypercholesterolemia means there is too much LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood,3 and that increases your risk of developing atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.2 LDL-cholesterol levels of <100 mg/dL are considered optimal. At near optimal levels, 100–129 mg/dL, atherogenesis, the formation of abnormal fatty or lipid masses in arterial walls, occurs. At borderline high levels, 130–159 mg/dL, atherogenesis proceeds at a significant rate. At high levels, 160–189 mg/dL, and very high levels, ≥190 mg/dL, atherogenesis is accelerated.2 Two main factors causing hyperlipidemia are lifestyle and genetic predispositions. An inherited condition called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) causes very high LDL cholesterol.1
'White Gold' in Early to Mid-Eighteenth Century Venice and Florence - The first Italian Porcelain Factories and thei highly coveted production
Authors: Tsoumas Johannis
Published: November 2020

An inaccessible material both in terms of technology and manufacture for the aristocratic classes and the royal courts of Europe and especially for the prominent politically, socially and culturally Italy, porcelain was until the beginning of the eighteenth century an ‘impossible dream’ which only through a limited number of Chinese wares could be satisfied. However in the early highly decorative and playful Rococo period, its discovery in Germany inaugurated a new era in the European decorative arts. Hard-paste porcelain was soon introduced in Northern Italy and started being produced in the cities of Venice and Florence respectively creating a new order in the great historical field of ceramic arts. This initiated a long and, at the same time, glorious era for porcelainobjects production throughout the country, many of which are now rare examples of a valuable heritage in the history of decorative arts worldwide. This paper aims to document clearly and methodically the historical value of these events, focusing on the two first Italian hard-paste porcelain factories development and stressing the significance of their rare products.
Vieira Lusitano Ex Machina. Os Desenhos Guarnecidos do Museu de Évora
Authors: Da Cruz Leal Lécio
Published: November 2020

As diferentes sensações resultantes da observação de desenhos guarnecidos e não guarnecidos de Vieira Lusitano, conservados em alguns museus do país, levou-nos a considerar outras motivações para além da intenção do pintor pretender promover esta etapa criativa em objecto artístico em si. A nobilitação dos pintores dependia mais da origem social de cada um do que dos seus méritos, para além disso continuavam a ser ensombrados por a mecanização do ofício. Vieira, porém, não obstante ter ascendido ao mais elevado cargo que um pintor deste país podia aspirar, entre muitas outras conquistas, nunca se sentiu verdadeiramente reconhecido nas esferas sociais mais elevadas, contudo nunca foi uma “voz” activa na reversão da situação. Neste artigo, tentaremos demonstrar que o uso das guarnições nos desenhos do Museu de Évora cumpriu dois objectivos: primeiro, “perpetuar” distintamente as obras mais importantes do ponto de vista de promoção social e que haviam sido destruídas por o terramoto de 01 de Novembro de 1755; segundo, notabilizar os desenhos, apresentando-os como frutos do intelecto – «pensamentos».

Authors: ŞENTÜRK Sibel , ÖZDEMİR Hafize , YILDIRIM KESKİN Alev
Published: November 2020

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of geriatric nursing course on the attitudes of students towards the elderly discrimination.
Methods: The quasi-experimental study was completed with 43 senior nursing students who received geriatric nursing lesson between February 20th-May 20th 2019, and took part in the pretest-posttest application of the study. The data were collected via the student information form and Elderly Discrimination Attitude Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Paired Sample t-Test and Pearson’s Correlation Analysis.
Results: Among students who participated in the study; 51.2% were in the age range of 22-25 years and 60.5% were female. It was stated that students’ total score average of the Elderly Discrimination Attitude Scale was 67.86 ± 6.22 pre-test and increased to 70.41 ± 6.48 post-test and the difference between was statistically significant (p<0.05). It was determined that there was a positively significant correlation between the elderly life limitation lower dimensions of students intending to work in geriatric departments after graduating and a negatively significant correlation between positive discrimination against the elderly lower dimensions (p<0.05).
Conclusion: It was concluded that due to geriatric nursing course, students were able to utilize knowledge regarding elderly discrimination and their attitudes toward elderly discrimination developed positively. In order to develop nursing students’ thoughts about elderly discrimination positively, it can be recommended to include special branch nursing lessons like geriatric nursing in the curricula and to encourage students to participate in seminars, conferences and courses concerning the elderly.

Lucidity in the Context of Advanced Neurodegenerative Disorders: A Concept Analysis
Authors: Morris Patricia , Bulman Donna
Published: November 2020

Individuals with advanced dementias resulting from neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) occasionally surprise caregivers with episodes of clarity and cognitive function that are not usually present. Lucid episodes—aptly named
paradoxical lucidity
in the literature—seem to involve a return of the “old self” during advanced neurodegenerative changes. Lucid episodes pose a problem for theories of neurological degeneration, which position dementias as progressive, incurable, and irreversible. In addition, lucid episodes raise ethical questions about whether information gleaned during lucid episodes is appropriate to direct future patient-centered care. The concept requires analysis and clarification if it is to guide future theorizing and research. The underlying goals of the current concept analysis are twofold: (a) to clarify the meaning of lucidity in the context of advanced NDs; and (b) to develop a theoretical definition that can guide future practice, research, and policy development. Walker and Avant's method is used to identify uses of the concept, defining attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents. [

El propósito de este artículo es analizar la transición de la escritura visigótica a la carolina a través de las inscripciones. Partiendo de la necesidad de cotejar los procesos de cambio escriturario con las “desconocidas” fuentes epigráficas haremos, en primer lugar, una introducción del ambiente histórico y cultural que favoreció la implantación de la nueva escritura. Después, examinaremos el alfabeto mayúsculo de los códices como elemento de comparación con las inscripciones y, acto seguido, presentaremos la producción epigráfica, centrándonos en los territorios que formaron parte de los reinos de Castilla y Navarra, en concreto los que corresponden a la actual Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja.
De notación hispánica a notación aquitana: escribir música en la Iberia medieval
Authors: De Luca Elsa
Published: November 2020

Este artículo se centra en las peculiaridades de las principales muestras de notación musical hispana y aquitana conservadas en los manuscritos litúrgicos peninsulares de los siglos X a mediados del XVI, proponiendo reconsiderar el estado de la cuestión desde el campo de la paleografía musical peninsular. Específicamente, esta aproximación paleográfica se orienta alrededor de los dos cambios principales que marcaron la escritura de música en la Península en el período bajo consideración: la substitución de la notación hispánica tradicional por la notación aquitana a finales del siglo XI, y el cambio gráfico que muestra la notación aquitana por influencia de la escritura gótica. La forma en la que ambos cambios se desarrollaron fue considerablemente desigual; precipitada y rápida en el primer caso, lenta y gradual en el segundo. En esta visión de conjunto, se presentan como ejemplos ilustrativos de notación aquitana fuentes que habían pasado desapercibidas hasta hace poco y que están ahora disponibles para su consulta en la “Portuguese Early Music Database”.

Authors: Lai Chien-Hung , Jong Bin-Shyan , Hsia Yen-Teh , Lin Tsong-Wuu
Published: November 2020

Most students are not actively concerned about curriculum activity times. However, without reminders, students will miss out on learning opportunities from the course activities. Therefore, due to the use of smartphones — which are central to people's everyday lives —, this study combined apps and the curriculum to develop a course activity notification system — Mobile Secretary of Operating Systems (MSOS) —­, as a curriculum reminder tool. This tool reminds the student of the curriculum activity times anytime and anywhere, like a secretary. This study also investigates students’ preferences between three distinct reminder tools — the reminder app, e-mail notifications and online learning platform announcements — in terms of their effectiveness in accessing curriculum-related matters, and in previewing and reviewing courses. Additionally, the study examines the efficacy of the MSOS app by comparing the questionnaire results of the students who used the app and those who did not use it. From the results of the questionnaire, it is also ascertained whether those students who used MSOS consider the app to be more convenient and immediate than e-mail notifications and the online learning platform, both in giving access to curriculum-related matters and in previewing and reviewing courses.
Big Data Quality for Data Mining in Business Intelligence Applications
Authors: Sundararaman Arun Thotapalli
Published: November 2020

Study of data quality for data mining application has always been a complex topic; in the recent years, this topic has gained further complexity with the advent of big data as the source for data mining and business intelligence (BI) applications. In a big data environment, data is consumed in various states and various forms serving as input for data mining, and this is the main source of added complexity. These new complexities and challenges arise from the underlying dimensions of big data (volume, variety, velocity, and value) together with the ability to consume data at various stages of transition from raw data to standardized datasets. These have created a need for expanding the traditional data quality (DQ) factors into BDQ (big data quality) factors besides the need for new BDQ assessment and measurement frameworks for data mining and BI applications. However, very limited advancement has been made in research and industry in the topic of BDQ and their relevance and criticality for data mining and BI applications. Data quality in data mining refers to the quality of the patterns or results of the models built using mining algorithms. DQ for data mining in business intelligence applications should be aligned with the objectives of the BI application. Objective measures, training/modeling approaches, and subjective measures are three major approaches that exist to measure DQ for data mining. However, there is no agreement yet on definitions or measurements or interpretations of DQ for data mining. Defining the factors of DQ for data mining and their measurement for a BI system has been one of the major challenges for researchers as well as practitioners. This chapter provides an overview of existing research in the area of BDQ definitions and measurement for data mining for BI, analyzes the gaps therein, and provides a direction for future research and practice in this area.

Published: November 2020

The currency note is a piece of paper uses for officially maintain a flow of funds according to the financial principles of a country. Every state in the world prints currency notes and they include artistic designs as symbols of richness and power of the country. This article focuses on the currency notes in Sri Lanka while assessing archaeological heritage and traditional decorations depicted on them. This paper further aims to highlight the Sri Lankan archaeological heritage and traditional decorations depicted in connection with the categories of currency notes established by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, and to describe reasons for depicting them on currency notes. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka issued eleven series of currency notes as of 2018 under different themes to illustrate Sri Lankan archaeological heritage. This study is based on a field survey that facilitated to obtain data and information. The currency notes available at the museum in the Central Bank of Sri Lanka were inspected, and each kind of currency notes printed from 1948 to the end of 2018 were studied. Published literature were critically reviewed. In addition, discussions with experts from the Central Bank and Bank Museum in Sri Lanka were undertaken. The use of features related to archaeological heritage and the use of traditional decorations on the notes can be considered as a prominent theme of Sri Lankan paper-currency-notes. Main reasons behind this choice coincide with the idea of representing the native heritage-identity, but not just as a medium of value exchange.

Published: November 2020

Data on liver and spleen stiffness by 2-D shear wave elastography (2-D SWE) in hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HES) remain scarce. We aimed to assess the correlation between single to multiple measurements of liver and spleen stiffness and to evaluate inter-hepatic lobe variability of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using 2-D SWE in HES patients. Liver and spleen elastography were performed in HES patients in this cross-sectional study. A total of four stiffness measurements were performed in the right lobe (RL), left lobe (LL), and spleen. The correlation between the first measurement and the median of four measurements was assessed. Liver stiffness measurement of both hepatic lobes was compared. Twenty-six HES patients were included. Liver stiffness measurement was higher in the left than in the right hepatic lobe (17.9 kPa [11.3–92.0] versus 14.9 kPa [5.6–44.4]; P = 0.019). The first measurement was similar to the median of the four measurements for the RL (14.6 [5.6–60.8] versus 14.9 kPa [5.6–44.4]; P = 0.87), LL (17.4 [8.0–128.1] versus 17.9 kPa [11.3–92.0]; P = 0.54), and spleen (50.5 [10.0–157.0] versus 55.7 kPa [19.1–119.4]; P = 0.48). An excellent correlation between the first measurement and the median of four measurements for the RL (r = 0.93; P < 0.001), LL (r = 0.88; P < 0.001), and spleen (r = 0.89; P < 0.001) was observed. In HES, LSM of the LL seems to be higher than that of the right hepatic lobe. Considering the excellent correlation between the first measurement and the median of four measurements in both hepatic lobes and spleen, a single measurement would be sufficient to evaluate liver and splenic stiffness in patients with HES.

The study aims at identifying the factors influencing the seasonality effect in the stock market and further identifying the relationship between the influencing factors. The study aims at conducting a complete analysis of the influencing factors along with measuring their impact on seasonality using Social Network Analysis (SNA). The factors affecting the seasonality effect in the stock market were identified through the literature review. Experts’ opinions were sought for determining the relationship among the factors and finally, the importance of those factors was analyzed using Social Network Analysis (SNA). It was found that volatility is the most important factor affecting the other factors of seasonality and consequently seasonality effect finally. Besides, earning announcements, dividend, and January effects strongly influence the effect of seasonality in the stock market because of their higher in-degree and out-degree. To understand the mechanism of the stock market, the policymakers need to impart training to the investors through awareness campaign or by opening learning investors’ Club at different places. With this they can evaluate their standing in the stock market and the capability of bearing the risk which, in the long run, will be reflected in their investment behavior along with that the culture of equity investing will also be promoted among the investors.

On a daily basis we deal with documents like educational records, health records, certificates etc. Medical
records are still being stored on legacy systems which carries the risk of losing important documents. There
are security and privacy concerns regarding the safety of documents on centralized server. To overcome
these difficulties, we made a blockchain based record storage web app through which anyone upload their
medical records on the blockchain and can access them with a private key. The patient or the user can
download and access reports from anywhere and can also manage to share them with his doctor etc.
Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, peer to peer ledger on the internet. Blockchain technology helps to
maintain security and reliability without placing any trust in a third party. The use of smart contracts in
blockchain helps in making things much easier.
This paper examines the record storage system including the technologies involved and the methodologies.
The approach used for making an electronic health record storage web app through which we can implement
a more broader record storage system that can store and manage numerous types of records.

The implementation of the national program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”, the use of distance technologies in the educational process require teachers to have digital competencies. At the moment in the Russian Federation, there are no formulations of digital competencies of a teacher. Although different models of digital competencies and skills have been created, they are rather complementary to each other. An organization can integrate a ready-made model, but it may not fully meet all the characteristics of the organization, its architecture and internal structure. In Russia, in the field of education, the formulation of digital competencies is spontaneous. In Russian science, digital competence refers to the use of digital technologies in professional activities, training, and social communications. Digital competencies are skills for effectively solving problems of a professional, social, personal nature using various types of information and communication technologies. Using the Delphi peer review method, the authors developed the teachers digital competencies and their indicators. The value of the results obtained lies in the fact that when conducting competitive procedures for filling vacant teacher positions, it is possible to assess the level of formation of digital competencies.

The subject of the study is the technical and environmental calculation of key parameters for equipping a contrailer terminal. The relevance of the work is related to the practical need to improve the organization of working conditions for employees of the terminal and warehouse facility as a complex technosphere object, as well as to ensure the rational operation of loading and unloading equipment. These aspects are crucial for the subsequent design of the terminal in terms of the number of full-time jobs and the required number of purchased/leased equipment, which determines the importance of management decisions at the initial, pre-project stage. There are two blocks of calculation — environmental and technical, the results of which can later be used in the preparation of an estimate and financial plan for the design of a complex technosphere object-a cargo (contrailer) terminal. Used analytical, design methods, theories of warehouse systems by O.B. Malikov, principles of technosphere safety. The calculation of the number of loading and unloading machines of the Kalmar type of the TR618i series was performed, as well as the necessary number of luminaires with fluorescent lamps to create a given standard illumination, and their location in the working area of the terminal’s operating space was determined. The calculation the number of loading and unloading machines required to ensure its smooth operation, and their quality indicators for the future volumes of cargo handling. The calculation of workplace illumination as a condition for ensuring technosphere safety and ergonomics requirements was also performed. It is noted that the performed environmental and technical calculations may be complicated by nested assessment and design methods aimed at assessing the current state of the terminal and the prospects for its further development/modernization.
