ASSESSMENT OF CORRELATION BETWEEN LEUKODERMA AND PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESS
Authors: Batra Dr. Mukesh
Published: August 2019

Background: Leukoderma is an acquired disease of pigmentation which is presented by depigmented areas of different shape and sizes on the skin. In various researches it was reported that these defects in melanocytes occurred due to autoimmune pathway or the complex causation of oxidative stress and genetics.

Material & Methods: In the present cross‑sectional prospective study 100 patients who were diagnosed with Leukoderma and controls who were not having depigmentation of skin and without any known clinical disease were enrolled for present study by simple random sampling. Written informed consent was taken from each study participant. Clearance from institutional ethical committee was also taken prior to the study.

Results: The prevalence of psychiatric illness among leukoderma group was 22% and among 78% patients we did not found any psychiatric illness. The most common symptom was depression which was present among 22% of patients with Leukoderma and 18% patients with Leukoderma had anxiety symptoms. Among the control group depression was present in 5 % subjects and anxiety symptoms were present in 7% of subjects. The mean WHO-Quality of life scores was low among Leukoderma group in relation to the control group (p value <0.05). On correlation with psychiatric illness, observations were statistically non-significant (p > 0.05) with HAMA-A and HAMA- D. The observations were statistically significant (p < 0.05) with GHQ total and BSA score.

Conclusion:  Higher prevalence of psychitric morbidity among patients with leukoderma and it was found associated with duration of disease and BSA scores. The most common symptom was depression which was followed by anxiety symptoms.

Key words: Leukoderma, psychiatric illness, anxiety, depression.

O tomate é um alimento rico em ácidos orgânicos e vitaminas, os quais são indispensáveis para a nutrição dos seres humanos, porém o cultivo convencional utiliza em seu manejo, agrotóxicos que podem deixar resíduos nos frutos e comprometer a saúde dos consumidores. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o desempenho produtivo do tomateiro sob cultivo protegido quando manejados com caldas agroecológicas. O arranjo experimental constou de uma variedade de tomate e três tratamentos fitossanitários, cada qual com cinco repetições, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Os tratamentos testados foram T1 (convencional); T2 (em transição para orgânico) e T3 (testemunha). No T2 as caldas foram utilizadas de forma preventiva e alternadas, uma por semana, e os resultados de produtividade foram comparados com o tratamento convencional e a testemunha. Como resultado se observou que o T1, a base de agrotóxicos foi mais produtivo com média de 3,6 kg planta-1; o T2 também resultou em boa produção e qualidade de frutos, com média de 3,2 kg planta-1, enquanto que a testemunha (T3) apresentou a menor produção, com 2,5 kg planta-1. Portanto, o uso de caldas é viável na produção de tomates sob cultivo protegido.

Published: August 2019

Espécies do gênero Talinum apresentam folhas com importantes características nutricionais, o que favorece sua utilização para alimentação humana. T. triangulare e T. paniculatum são encontradas em todo Brasil como planta daninha, todavia nas regiões Norte, Nordeste e Centro-oeste são comercializadas como hortaliça não convencional. Objetivou-se, com este estudo, mensurar a produção de T. triangulare e T. paniculatum em função de doses de adubação de composto orgânico. Foram testados cinco níveis de adubação (0, 30, 60, 90 e 120 t ha-1 de composto orgânico) mais uma testemunha, representada por adubação inorgânica na dose de 600 kg ha-1 da formulação 04-14-08. Após o transplantio das mudas de ambas as espécies em canteiros foram feitas três colheitas, aos 50, 105 e 160 dias e para massa seca das folhas (MSF), de caule (MSC), de estrutura reprodutiva (MSER) e a parte aérea (MSPA) verificaram-se incrementos lineares às doses do adubo orgânico. Após o primeiro corte, as maiores doses de composto orgânico (60, 90, e 120 t ha-1) proporcionaram maior produção de folhas em relação à testemunha de adubação inorgânica. Foram encontradas correlações positivas e altamente significativas entre as variáveis altura de plantas (AP), número de folhas (NF), número de ramos (NR), MSF, MSC, MSER e MSPA. O efeito residual da adubação orgânica favorece a produção de hortaliças folhosas não convencionais.

Measurement and Analysis of Oil Price Fluctuations and Trends of Government Expenditure on Agriculture and Industry in Iraq for the Period (2006-2016)
Authors: عباس صلاح مهدي , عبد الله حسن علي
Published: August 2019

Abstract

The objective of the study: is to identify the reality of the relationship between the fluctuations in international oil prices and their reflection on the trends of government spending on agriculture and industry.

The study finds that there is no joint integration between the two variables. The independent variable (oil price) has no effect on the dependent variable (expenditure on the agricultural sector) through the calculated value of F (1.906385) A significant level of 5%, which is smaller than the table value of the minimum parameter of 3.62 at a significant level of 5% This is because most of these expenses are operating expenses, which are inflexible and insufficiently responsive to the change in oil prices, since the investment expenditure on the agricultural sector did not exceed 10% of the total public expenditure during the study period. The allocation of the industrial sector out of the total public expenditure was very low, where it reaches an verage rate of this sector over 11 years (1.1%) reflected the low allocation of this sector of total public expenditure, which negatively reflected on the level of domestic production.

The study recommends promotion of private sector, its development, providing necessary support and facilities to improve this sector to relieve pressure on the public sector through the employment of labor and thus reduce public expenditure, mostly salaries, wages of working staff, and prioritize investment expenditures of the total public expenditure of sectors that contribute to the construction of the economy that achieves the ambition to promote the economy, such as the industrial sector, in order to absorb the large numbers of the unemployed. The interest in the agricultural sector is crucial to the provision of food commodities and ensuring that these goods are not imported from abroad. These imports with negative effects on the country's economy.

يوضح هذا البحث تأثير تقلب الإيرادات النفطية على الدين العام, ويتم تقييم هذا التأثير عن طريق مؤشرات استدامة الدين والمؤشرات المالية والاقتصادية المعبرة عن مخاطر الدين, ويركز البحث على توضيح مسار الدين العام في العراق وإداراته, سواء اكان الداخلي أم الخارجي منه, فقد أخذ موضوع استدامة الدين والاستدامة المالية أهمية كبيرة ضمن تقييم الدين العام وفق متغيرات الاقتصاد الكلي, وأكدت الدراسة على أن هناك علاقة بين الاقتصاد الريعي في العراق ومخاطر الدين العام, والحاجة ملحة لضرورة العمل على أنتهاز فرص نمو أسعار النفط وإنشاء صناديق سيادية لدعم الموازنة عند حدوث العجز, وهذا ما يقلل حجم المخاطر المستقبلية إذا ما استعملت أداة الدﱠين العام في حل مشكلة اختلال الموازنة, وبالتالي سنحافظ على حجم الدين القابل للاستدامة.
تحليل العلاقة بين عجز الموازنة العامة والدين الخارجي في العراق للمدة (1990 ـ 2016)
Authors: علوان غفران حاتم , طالب ريام علي
Published: August 2019

لقد اصبح مفهوم العجز في الموازنة العامة ظاهرة اقتصادية مزمنة تعاني منها معظم دول العالم سواءً أكانت دول متقدمة ام دول نامية , وعلى الرغم من اختلاف رؤى المدارس الاقتصادية من فكرة قبول او رفض العجز في الموازنة العامة الا ان الرأي الذي ساد هو بضرورة حكم دور الدولة من خلال تقليل الانفاق العام الذي ادى الى عجوزات مستمرة في الموازنة العامة ترتب عليها زيادة في الاقتراض الحكومي , وزيادة في الضرائب على الدخل والثروة, مما اضعف الحافز على الاستثمار الخاص , وكذلك اسهم في زيادة الركود التضخمي , واصبح من واجب الدولة تغطية النقص من مصادر التمويل المحلي التي اصبحت من الصعب ان توازي الزيادات المتواصلة في الانفاق العام , فغدت مشكلة التمويل من ابرز المشكلات التي توجهها الدول النامية ولاسيما العراق , مما اجبرها على الاتجاه الى القروض الخارجية التي غالبا ما تكون مشروطة بشروط سياسية واقتصادية معقدة .

  ومن هنا ركز البحث على تحليل العلاقة بين العجز في الموازنة العامة والدين الخارجي خلال المدة (1990ـ 2016م) , ومن الظروف الصعبة التي مر بها العراق خلال المدة فقد أتسمت الموازنة بالعجز نتيجة الزيادة المستمرة في الانفاق العام وترتب عليها زيادة في الدين الخارجي كمصدر من مصادر تمويل هذا العجز , وفي اطار تقدير هذه العلاقة قد توصلت الباحثة الى وجود علاقة بين العجز في الموازنة العامة والدين الخارجي .

Published: August 2019

Background: Newly developed KAtex test can be used as a non invasive tool for diagnosis of Kala-azar.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare KAtex, Bone marrow aspiration and DAT to diagnose VL.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology at Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh in collaboration with the Department of Parasitology, Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), Dhaka, Bangladesh for a period of one year. Clinically suspected Kala-azar (VL) cases of different age and sex attending IEDCR, Dhaka from different Kala-azar endemic areas of Bangladesh were selected for this study. Patients having fever for more than 2 weeks, with or without splenomegaly, having history of loss of body weight following onset of fever were clinically suspected as Kala-azar cases. Microscopy and culture was performed in bone marrow (BM). KAtex was performed with urine sample. Agglutination of sensitized latex indicated presence of Leishmania donovani antigen in urine and thereby visceral leishmaniasis. No agglutination indicates absence of antigen in urine. DAT was done with serums of all cases.

Result: Among 130 clinically suspected VL cases, 70 (53.85%) cases were BM positive and 60(46.15%) cases were BM negative. All the 70 BM positive cases were positive by KAtex and DAT. Among 60 BM negative cases, 15 were positive by KAtex and 23 were positive by DAT. The sensitivity of KAtex was 100.0% and specificity was 75.0%. The sensitivity of DAT was 100.0% and specificity is 61.6%.

Conclusion: In conclusion, KAtex test is a good diagnostic tool for the detection of VL in comparison with DAT.

Aircrew Conditioning Programme Impact on +Gz Tolerance
Authors: Slungaard Ellen , Pollock Ross D. , Stevenson Alec T. , Green Nicholas D. C. , Newham Di J. , Harridge Stephen D. R.
Published: August 2019

INTRODUCTION: Physical conditioning may improve aircrew performance during exposure to high +Gz acceleration, although few studies have directly assessed this. The present study investigated the effects of a 12-wk Aircrew Conditioning Programme (ACP) on markers of
G tolerance. The ACP comprises aerobic and muscle strengthening exercise performed twice weekly and targets improved fitness and reduced injury risk.METHODS: There were 36 UK Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aircrew who volunteered; 17 performed the ACP (Ex) and 19 acted as a control
group (Con). Centrifuge testing was performed before and after the intervention. Relaxed G tolerance (RGT) and straining G tolerance (SGT), which had the addition of muscle tensing, were assessed. G endurance was also determined via repeated simulated air combat maneuvers (SACMs). During these
centrifuge runs a number of physiological variables were recorded.RESULTS: During the G profile to determine RGT, neither RGT, HR, nor blood pressure responses were affected by the ACP. During SGT profiles, a lower HR at a given +Gz (+5.5 Gz) level following
the ACP was observed (Ex: pre 146.0 ± 4.4, post 136.9 ± 5.6 bpm; Con: pre 148.0 ± 3.2, post 153.1 ± 3.3 bpm). BP was maintained and there was a tendency toward an improved SGT. The ACP increased the proportion of individuals completing the number of SACM profiles,
although no meaningful differences were found between groups in other variables.CONCLUSION: Overall the ACP has no negative effect on RGT, reduced the physiological strain associated with a given level of +Gz (during SGT), and tended to improve the ability to tolerate
repeated Gz exposure.Slungaard E, Pollock RD, Stevenson AT, Green NDC, Newham DJ, Harridge SDR. Aircrew conditioning programme impact on +Gz tolerance. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2019; 90(9):764–773.

Published: August 2019

INTRODUCTION: Adverse weather and poor visual cues are common elements in night-time Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) operations contributing to spatial disorientation and fatal accidents. Pilots are required to make weather-related preflight risk assessments to accept
or reject a flight. This study’s aim was to develop predictive risk assessment tools based on historical accident data to assist the decision-making process.METHODS: We analyzed 32 single-pilot HEMS night-time visual flight rules fatal accidents to identify contributory risk
factors. Logistic regression analysis was used to develop prediction nomograms for nonvisual meteorological conditions (non-VMC), cause and nonsurvivable accidents as dependent variables. Risk factors such as temperature dew point spread, elevation difference, and years of HEMS pilot experience,
were entered as continuous variables. Flight crew composition, pilot DTE (domain task experience) and flight rule capability, primary missions, and temperature dew point spread were entered as categorical variables. A point scoring matrix transposed model probability to likelihood and consequence
severity.RESULTS: The nomograms correctly predicted the likelihood of entering non-VMC, accident cause, and sustaining a nonsurvivable accident in 75%, 55%, and 94% of cases, respectively. Using data from a recent nonsurvivable HEMS accident, the nomogram estimated a 92% probability
(Very Likely) of nonsurvivable accident if visual cues were lost.CONCLUSION: These nomograms can provide preflight information to predict the likelihood of adverse safety outcomes occurring during a planned HEMS mission. While further development work is needed, this approach has
the potential to improve HEMS operational safety.Aherne BB, Zhang C, Chen WS, Newman DG. Preflight risk assessment for improved safety in Helicopter Emergency Medical Service operations. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2019; 90(9):792–799.

Introduction: Ageing is a natural phenomenon that is accompanied by a cascade of unwanted and unintended circumstances or problems that are always undesirable but not still avoidable. Polypharmacy or irrational use of medicines is one of the many issues that may affect any age group but mostly affects the geriatric population. Since ageing is usually associated with several co-morbities, elderly are exposed to
polypharmacy to greater extent. Lack of knowledge about the outcomes of olypharmacy adds to the suffering of elderly due to adverse drug reactions caused by drug interactions. Aim: The primary objective of the present study is to assess the prevalence of polypharmacy along with its association with psychiatric problems and how they influence polypharmacy. Methods: A literature review of electronic databases utilizing the search terms polypharmacy, polypharmacy in elderly, polypharmacy and ageing, multiple medications, inappropriate medication and prescribing cascade etc. for the period from 2010 to 2018 was done. The search was supplemented with online site searches of relevant medical, health and pharmaceutical journals. Also, literature comprising of original articles, and case studies were studied to identify articles which correspond to various definitions, causes, types of polypharmacy etc. The priority of search was geriatric pharmacy. Thus, the studies or the articles matching the geriatric age group were considered, and adequate data was extracted. A specific protocol regarding the sectioning of search like relevant data & irrelevant data was then incorporated to collect the most suitable and the authentic material for the review. Results: The aged population practice polypharmacy more in comparison to other age groups. Psychiatric illnesses further, enhances the polypharmacy. Conclusion: The findings suggested that polypharmacy is associated with the worsening of the health of the elderly due to its positive association with mental health problems.

Authors: BİNNETOĞLU Damla , YAYLA Muhammed , ÇINAR İrfan , DEMİRBAĞ Çağlar , AKSU KILIÇLE Pınar
Published: August 2019

Amaç: Güçlü
bir antioksidan etkiye sahip olan nar kabuğunun pek çok fizyolojik özellikleri
gösterilmiştir. Çalışmamızda eksitatör bir nörotransmitter olan glutamatın
nörotoksik etkisine karşı, güçlü antioksidan olan nar kabuğunun etkilerini
araştırmayı amaçladık. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmamızda yeni doğan sıçan beyin korteksi kullanılmıştır. Nar
kabuğu ekstresi 200, 300 ve 400 mg/ml dozunda uygulandıktan 2 saat sonra 6x10-3 ve
3x10-3 M konsantrasyonda glutamat uygulaması gerçekleştirildi.
Toksisite oluşturulduktan 24 saat sonra canlılık testi, total oksidan ve
antioksidan kapasite ölçümleri gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular:
Glutamat uygulaması artan dozlarda hücre canlılığını önemli ölçüde azaltırken
nar kabuğu ekstresi yüksek dozda en iyi nöroprotektif etkiyi ortaya koymuştur.
Toksisiteye bağlı artan oksidan kapasite nar kabuğu uygulaması ile anlamlı
derecede düzelmiştir. Glutamata bağlı azalan antioksidan kapasite nar kabuğu
ekstresi ile düzelme göstermiştir. Nar kabuğu ekstresi tek başına yüksek doz
uygulandığında proliferatif etki ortaya koymuştur. Nar kabuğu nöroprotektif
etkilerini proinflamatuar sitokin olan tümör nekrozis faktör-α ve apoptotik
proteinler olan caspas 3 ve 9 ekspresyonunu baskılayarak ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç: Nar
kabuğu ekstresi antioksidan, antiinflamatuar ve anti-apoptotik etkisi ile
glutamata bağlı gelişen nörotoksisiteyi önlemiştir.

Control eficiente de micro centrales eólicas usando generadores de inducción
Authors:   , Leidhold Roberto
Published: August 2019

Esta tesis está dedicada al estudio de esquemas y estrategias de control de micro centrales eólicas autónomas. Se ha puesto especial énfasis en el desarrollo de un sistema robusto, que requiera mínimo mantenimiento y de bajo costo. En tal sentido se fundamenta el enfoque de la misma a la utilización de generadores de inducción con adecuada excitación y control a fin de proveer energía con la calidad requerida, y a la utilización de técnicas de optimización y control de potencia por velocidad variable y paso fijo. Inicialmente se proponen dos estrategias de control del generador de inducción. La primera se basa en la técnica de orientación con el flujo, en la cual se persigue la regulación de la tensión de la carga y la minimización de las pérdidas de la máquina. La segunda estrategia de control se basa en la teoría de la potencia reactiva instantánea, con la que se logra una adecuada regulación de las tensiones de la barra de CC y de las cargas conectadas directamente al estator de la máquina de inducción. Por último se propone una estrategia de control de la turbina, basada en la regulación de su velocidad, que maximiza la conversión de energía del viento, satisfaciendo las restricciones de velocidad angular y potencia. Para evaluar las estrategias propuestas se obtuvieron resultados de simulación numérica y resultados experimentales, llevadas a cabo en una banco de ensayos y en una estación electro eólica experimental, con el objetivo de validar las propuestas presentadas.
