Just Google it: measuring schools’ use of research evidence with internet search results
Authors: Neal Zachary , Lawlor Jennifer , Neal Jennifer Watling , Mills Kristen , McAlindon Kathryn
Published: January 2018

Measuring the use of research evidence (URE) by schools has become a central focus of education researchers. However, it has proven challenging due to low response rates, social desirability bias, and costly or time-consuming data collection methods. To overcome these challenges and meet the needs of research focused on URE, this paper introduces a non-reactive archival measure: Archival Search of Use of Research Evidence (ASURE). ASURE counts references to research or evidence on a school’s or school district’s website to capture the extent of its rhetorical use of research evidence. After illustrating the collection of ASURE in all public school districts in Michigan (N = 595), we use data on these districts to show that ASURE is reliable and valid, and thus offers a promising new strategy for measuring URE in schools. We conclude by considering future steps for exploring ASURE, not simply as a measure of URE in schools, but instead as a measurement strategy for assessing URE in a broad range of organisational contexts.
Force of evidence: Elizabeth Eisenstein’s legacy and the responsibility of the media scholar
Authors: Fallon Peter K.
Published: January 2018

This article considers the legacy of Elizabeth Eisenstein as a media scholar and historian and looks at the advantages her systematic, disciplined and evidence-based method offers media scholars generally. Her historicism is contrasted with the various determinisms current within media studies, especially the technological determinisms inherent in the phenomenon referred to as ‘McLuhanism’. The author cites an example of his own work to illustrate the advantages offered by the more objective approach offered by Eisenstein, while acknowledging the heuristic value inherent in more creative, ‘non-linear’, subjective approaches.

METODE SELF INSTRUCTIONAL TRAINING UNTUK MENURUNKAN KADAR GULA DARAH PASIEN DM TIPE 2 (Self Instructional Training Methods to Reduce Blood Glucose Levels Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)
Authors: Setiyorini Erni
Published: January 2018

Abstract: Uncontrolled blood glucose levels is a problem that is often found in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. This condition has an impact on the health of the patient as it would appear some macrovascular and microvascular complications. The number of patients with DM in Indonesia has increased by years and only 50% of patients suffering from diabetes who are aware of, and around 30% of them take medication regularly. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Self Instructional Training method on blood glucose levels of the patients. The method used pre-experimental design with purposive sampling technique and 16 respondents as the sample. The measuring instrument used glucometers to measure blood glucose levels and analyzed with Paired T Test. Based on the results, the entire blood glucose levels before the intervention above 200 mg /dl. After having Self Instructional Training Intervention, the average blood glucose level was 35.75 mg /dl. The highest blood glucose levels was in the post test as 253 mg /dl and the lowest was 197 mg /dl. Based on Paired T Test  analysis obtained Self Instructional Training interventions could reduce blood glucose levels of patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type II (p value = 0.000). Diabetes Mellitus patients were expected to be able to apply the  SIT method to perform self-care so that the patient's blood glucose levels can be controlled. Patient could do this methods  at home and should be supported by their  family and health professionals to treat the diseases.

Sistema de Inferencia Difusa basado en Relaciones Booleanas y Kleeneanas con Combinador Convexo
Authors: Chacón Juan , Soriano Jairo , Salazar Omar
Published: January 2018

Context: In the design process of Fuzzy Inference Systems based on Boolean and Kleenean Relations (FIS-BKR) there is a dilemma choosing the regular kleenean extensions of a given boolean function. The set of possible kleenean extensions of a boolean function has a lattice structure under the usual partial order of functions. The fuzzy convex combination proposed by Zadeh guarantees some properties related to this order.Method: The addition of a convex combiner just before the defuzzifier offers a solution to the above situation. The ISE (Integral Squared Error) and ITSE (Integral Time-weighted Squared Error) performance indexes were used on an application for tuning a liquid level control system.Results: The tuning process carried out on the FIS-BKR controller with fuzzy convex combiner using constant coefficients, implied an improvement of the controlled system up to 1.427% for ISE index and up to 21.99% for ITSE with respect to the extreme extensions.Conclusions: New evidence of convenient characteristics of FIS-BKR controllers with fuzzy convex combiner was presented when the performance indexes ISE and ITSE were evaluated. On the other hand, although in this work parameter tuning for convex combination was done by grid search (brute force), it would be interesting to study more effective optimization methods for this purpose.

The healing texts of heterogeneous origin are preserved in the manuscripts of the Belarusian Tatars in large numbers. According to written sources, they have been widely used in the past in the Tatar environment. Recent field studies show that the healing texts have not yet completely disappeared from use. These texts have deep roots in the ancient Turkic culture, and also reflect various influences, mainly from the side of Islam, as well as from the Christian-Slavic environment. In general, the healing texts are very interesting sources for analyzing the traditional worldviews of the Belarusian Tatars.
Badanie poczucia subiektywnego związanego z dzieleniem na sylaby wyrazów języka polskiego – podział wieloelementowych grup spółgłoskowych
Authors: Śledziński Daniel
Published: January 2018

This paper presents the results of a preliminary investigation of subjective feelings related to the syllabification of Polish words written in orthographic form. The results are part of a wider study, and the data presented here are limited to polysegmental word-internal consonant clusters. In the author’s previous articles it was noted that some morphological boundaries are perceived as syllable boundaries – particularly boundaries between a prefix and a stem. The words that contain such boundaries were excluded from the investigation. The main goal was to verify whether the phonostatistical properties of consonant clusters influence subjective feelings related to syllabification. The investigated statistical proprieties concern the frequency of occurrence of consonant clusters, and of parts of them at the beginning of words, in the text corpus. Another goal was to verify whether the syllabification based on phonology differs from that based on subjective feelings.

In the undertaken study, the understanding of the concepts of citizenship and nationality by the Polish young people, I assume that these categories are essential in terms of shaping the national identity of the individual. The system of concepts that define the personality of a human, the ability to reflect on their content, correctness, common connection, allows individuals to unite into a certain community. Thus, the analysis of linguistic ways of describing non-linguistic reality is also associated with the description of the mental representations of the individual, and therefore the ways – in cognitive processes – to relate to the world, to make an image of the world, to create knowledge about the world.
The Gifts of “Darkness” (KKW). The Dark Waters of the Nile Inundation in Hydrological Processions of the Ptolemaic and Roman Era
Authors: Coppens Filip
Published: January 2018

The article takes a closer look at a specific feature of the Nile, and more in particular an aspect of its life bringing inundation known to the ancient Egyptian priests as Keku (“Darkness”). This facet of the inundation occurs seven times among the gifts brought by offering bearers in hydrological processions on the soubassement in the Horus temple of Edfu, the Opet temple at Karnak, the Hathor temple of Dendara and the small Isis temple of Dendara dating from the reigns of Ptolemaios IV Philopator (221–204 BCE) to that of Emperor Nero (54–68 CE). The study of its location on the temple walls as well as the inscriptions accompanying this specific personification of the Nile inundation indicates the existence of patterns in the distribution of these texts not only within a single temple, but also between temples over time and space.
Chilean Infant Mummy in the Collections of the Náprstek Museum: Anthropological Analysis
Authors: Jungová Gabriela , Pečený Jakub
Published: January 2018

This paper reports conclusions from an anthropological analysis of a mummy bundle from the Azapa Valley in northern Chile. The mummy was acquired by Dr. Václav Šolc in 1966–1967. The bundle was examined with the use of computed tomography (CT) and the results were compared to unpublished findings from 2009. The remains are that of an infant that died of unknown causes. The possible presence of Harris lines suggests that the individual suffered from stress during their life. The mummification process was in all probability spontaneous.
Hygroscopicity of Longitudinally Compressed Wood
Authors: Báder Mátyás , Németh Róbert
Published: January 2018

Knowledge of hygroscopicity is extremely important both in the use of native wood and modified wood. In this study, the modification method was steaming at 100 °C, then longitudinal compression at a rate of 20%. The moisture content (MC) of treated and untreated green beech wood (Fagus sylvaticaL.) was reduced in a climate chamber with gradual reduction of air humidity at 20 °C. The difference of calculated fibre saturation points between control samples and samples compressed for a long time was 6% (MC%). In the course of desorption, this difference decreased, and finally disappeared at 10% moisture content (40% relative humidity). In the second step of the research work, the speed of vapour adsorption was checked. The absolute dry samples were placed in air with 95% relative humidity. The highest deviation in the moisture content was 1% (MC%) between the control and the compressed samples. The compressed wood dries faster than the control samples under the same conditions. Furthermore, during adsorption, the moisture content of the compressed samples at room conditions is lower.
Testing the Impact of Waste from Anaerobic Digestion (Enriched with an Organic Component) on the Quality of Agricultural Land
Authors: Kodymová Jana , Kyncl Miroslav , Švehláková Hana , Bártková Magdaléna
Published: January 2018

Waste from anaerobic digestion is considered as a mineral fertilizer and it is usually applied to agricultural land. The aim of our attempt was to enrich this waste from anaerobic digestion (digestate) with an organic component (in our case represented by haylage). For this purpose, we made different mixtures of digestate and haylage in different weight ratios. In the field trial, the effect of these mixtures on the soil, under standard agricultural conditions, was monitored. Selected accessible nutrients (P, K, Mg, Mn, Ca) and the amount of carbon and nitrogen in the soil were monitored. The results of the laboratory tests confirmed that the areas where the sowing and digestate mixtures were applied showed greater amounts of macro- and micronutrients in plant-accessible forms than the surface fertilized only with digestate or areas fertilized only with standard fertilizers.
High IL-1α production was induced in the WBN/Kob-Leprfa
type 2 diabetes mellitus rat model and inhibited by Syphacia muris infection
Authors: Okamoto M. , Ito R. , Taira K. , Ikeda T.
Published: January 2018

The novel WBN/Kob-Leprfa
(fa/fa) congenic rat strain is considered a useful rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Accumulating findings suggest that low-grade inflammation is a causative factor in T2DM and that circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines are associated with insulin resistance. However, inflammatory cytokine profiles and their correlations with T2DM development/progression in fa/fa rats have not been studied. In this study, we found that the fa/fa rats had considerably high plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-1α. Abundant cecal IL-1α mRNA expression and cecal inflammation with infiltrating IL-1α-producing macrophages was observed in fa/fa rats. Bone marrow derived macrophages from fa/fa rats expressed high levels of IL-1α upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Furthermore, Syphacia muris infection, which delays the onset of T2DM, reduced both plasma and cecal IL-1α levels in fa/fa rats. These results suggest that macrophage infiltration and IL-1α secretion comprise an important part of T2DM development and that S. muris infection inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in fa/fa rats.
Metaphor and Metonymy in Ancient Dream Interpretation: the Case of Islamic-Iranian Culture
Authors: Hasar Rahman Veisi
Published: January 2018

This paper aims to investigate the relevance of metaphor and metonymy to ancient dream interpretation in Islamic-Iranian culture. To this end, a most-referenced book of dream interpretation is analysed according to the conceptual metaphor theory. The results show that metaphor and metonymy play an important role in this ancient discourse. The metaphorical dream is based either on a resemblance between the dream as the source domain and its interpretation as the target domain, or on some symbolic metaphors arising from cultural conventions. The metonymic dream is formed by a contiguous relationship between the dream as the vehicle entity and its interpretation as the target entity. Concerning metaphorical dream interpretation, it can be argued that the overt content of the dream is mapped onto the latent content by resemblance or cultural convention. As regards metonymic dream interpretation, it can be said that the overt content of the dream is mapped onto the latent content by a conceptual metonymy based on socio-physical context. In addition, there are two other procedures of dream interpretation based on realistic representation and the technique of reversion. These cases do not apply figurative devices like metaphor and metonymy. Also, the dreamer’s personal knowledge of his or her life does not play a significant role in the discourse of dream interpretation in Islamic-Iranian culture.
Young People’s Joint Leisure Activities in Traditional Karelian Culture: Norms and Social Practice
Authors: Mironova Valentina , Litvin Julia
Published: January 2018

The paper* considers common youth leisure activities in traditional Karelian culture, from the point of view both of the culturally prescribed norms and the actual behaviour. Special attention is paid to official and social adolescent development frameworks and to reflection of these age-related stages in folk vocabulary. The paper uses a large number of recently published and unpublished ethnographic and folkloristic sources. The authors come to the conclusion that in Karelian culture there is a specific age-group framework for adolescence, as well as gender-related differences between male and female behavioural patterns. The paper shows that girls had to undertake more varied tasks than boys as, on the one hand, they were to play socially prescribed roles and follow moral obligations, remaining modest and, on the other hand, had to be active in order to get married and give birth to children.
“Her Room was Her World”: Nellie Sloggett and North Cornish Folklore
Authors: Young Simon
Published: January 2018

Nellie Sloggett (1850–1923) was a Cornish novelist and, under the name Enys Tregarthen, a folklore writer. This article*has four aims. First, to bring together all the biographical information about Sloggett. Second, to make the point that Sloggett’s writing is useful for folklorists: she has, since her death, been neglected even by south-western scholars. Third, to situate her work in the broader British and Irish folklore movement: her corpus offers some unique challenges. And, fourth, to provide a hand-list of her books and her other writings to facilitate further research. It is hoped, too, that some of the reflections on the geography of folklore collection will have a wider application.
The Metaphor of the Net
Authors: Förster Yvonne
Published: January 2018

My aim in this paper is to sketch a picture of how we currently visualize human vs. artificial intelligence. I am going to analyze images depicting the transcendence of the human in recent movies, which I take to be significant for the contemporary conditio humana. I will examine how movies like Her (USA 2013, Spike Jonze) or Transcendence (USA 2014, Wally Pfister) invent and use images of human and artificial life. I will then analyze the images themselves, how they are connected and what underlying ontological assumptions can be found. My main focus will be on the concept of the body and figures of disembodied intelligence. I will argue that disembodied intelligence has become a central topos in contemporary cinema. I will show how these ideas relate to the presentation of technology as a highly complex and dynamic net-structure, comparable to the characteristics of the human brain.
Use of Loaded Conditioning Activities to Potentiate Middle- and Long-Distance Performance: A Narrative Review and Practical Applications
Authors: Blagrove Richard C. , Howatson Glyn , Hayes Philip R.
Published: January 2018

Blagrove, RC, Howatson, G, and Hayes, PR. Use of loaded conditioning activities to potentiate middle- and long-distance performance: a narrative review and practical applications. J Strength Cond Res 33(8): 2288–2297, 2019—The warm-up is an integral component of a middle- and long-distance athlete's preperformance routine. The use of a loaded conditioning activity (LCA), which elicits a postactivation potentiation (PAP) response to acutely enhance explosive power performance, is well researched. A similar approach incorporated into the warm-up of a middle- or long-distance athlete potentially provides a novel strategy to augment performance. Mechanisms that underpin a PAP response, relating to acute adjustments within the neuromuscular system, should theoretically improve middle- and long-distance performance through improvements in submaximal force-generating ability. Attempts to enhance middle- and long-distance–related outcomes using an LCA have been used in several recent studies. Results suggest that benefits to performance may exist in well-trained middle- and long-distance athletes by including high-intensity resistance training (1–5 repetition maximum) or adding load to the sport skill itself during the latter part of warm-ups. Early stages of performance seem to benefit most, and it is likely that recovery (5–10 minutes) also plays an important role after an LCA. Future research should consider how priming activity, designed to enhance the Vo
2 kinetic response, and an LCA may interact to affect performance, and how different LCAs might benefit various modes and durations of middle- and long-distance exercises.

Tsoukos, A, Drikos, S, Brown, LE, Sotiropoulos, K, Veligekas, P, and Bogdanis, GC. Upper and lower body power are strong predictors for selection of male junior National volleyball team players. J Strength Cond Res 33(10): 2760–2767, 2019—The purpose of this study was to determine whether a battery of anthropometric and lower and upper body strength and speed and power tests predicted selection of young volleyball players for a Junior National Team by expert coaches. Fifty-two male junior volleyball players (14.8 ± 0.5 years, height: 1.84 ± 0.05 m, body mass: 72.5 ± 7.1 kg) took part in a training camp and underwent a selection procedure by expert coaches' of the junior national team. Anthropometric data and fitness tests results were obtained and players were graded on a scale from 0 to 100 on the basis of their performance in a volleyball tournament. Selected players were superior in the majority of measured variables (p ≤ 0.017) and had higher grading scores compared with nonselected players (85.3 ± 4.1 vs. 70.5 ± 5.6, respectively, p < 0.01). The combination of spike jump and reach (SJR) test and 3-kg medicine ball throw (MB3) velocity explained 63.5% of the variance in expert coaches' grading (p < 0.001). A multivariate discriminant analysis yielded a significant discriminant function (Wilk's lambda = 0.55, χ2 = 29.324, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.82). Spike jump and reach and MB3 were the only variables that contributed to the discriminant function (standardized function coefficients: SJR = 0.68, MB3 = 0.67). Cross-validation results showed that selection was correctly predicted in 14 of the 16 selected players (predictive accuracy: 87.5%) and in 32 of the 36 nonselected players (predictive accuracy: 88.9%). The SJR and MB3 fitness tests can predict a large portion of the variance of expert coaches' grading and successfully discriminate elite young male volleyball players for selection vs. nonselection for a junior national team. This result is very important as performance testing during a selection process may be reduced to only 2 measurements.
Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Contributes to the Loss of Newborn Hippocampal Neurons after Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Hood Kimberly N. , Zhao Jing , Redell John B. , Hylin Michael J. , Harris Brynn , Perez Alec , Moore Anthony N. , Dash Pramod K.
Published: January 2018

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been shown to be required for certain types of cognitive function. For example, studies have shown that these neurons are critical for pattern separation, the ability to store similar experiences as distinct memories. Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been shown to cause the loss of newborn hippocampal neurons, the signaling pathway(s) that triggers their death is unknown. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates the PERK-eIF2α pathway that acts to restore ER function and improve cell survival. However, unresolved/intense ER stress activates C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), leading to cell death. We show that TBI causes the death of hippocampal newborn neurons via CHOP. Using CHOP KO mice, we show that loss of CHOP markedly reduces newborn neuron loss after TBI. Injured CHOP mice performed significantly better in a context fear discrimination task compared with injured wild-type mice. In contrast, the PERK inhibitor GSK2606414 exacerbated doublecortin cell loss and worsened contextual discrimination. Administration of guanabenz (which reduces ER stress) to injured male rats reduced the loss of newborn neurons and improved one-trial contextual fear memory. Interestingly, we also found that the surviving newborn neurons in brain-injured animals had dendritic loss, which was not observed in injured CHOP KO mice or in animals treated with guanabenz. These results indicate that ER stress plays a key role in the death of newborn neurons after TBI. Further, these findings indicate that ER stress can alter dendritic arbors, suggesting a role for ER stress in neuroplasticity and dendritic pathologies.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe hippocampus, a structure in the temporal lobe, is critical for learning and memory. The hippocampus is one of only two areas in which neurons are generated in the adult brain. These newborn neurons are required for certain types of memory, and are particularly vulnerable to traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the mechanism(s) that causes the loss of these cells after TBI is poorly understood. We show that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways are activated in newborn neurons after TBI, and that manipulation of the CHOP cascade improves newborn neuron survival and cognitive outcome. These results suggest that treatments that prevent/resolve ER stress may be beneficial in treating TBI-triggered memory dysfunction.
Bendradarbiavimo etnografijos galimybės atskleisti ir kurti vaikų pajėgumą konstruojant gilesnį supratimą apie perkeltųjų vaikų situaciją Kolumbijoje

Published: January 2018

Tyrimų apie vaikus reikšmingumą pripažįsta daugelio skirtingų mokslų sričių atstovai, tačiau ne visada tiriamų vaikų požiūris įtraukiamas į tyrimus. Tradiciškai konkrečios vaikų patirties suvokimas buvo formuojamas remiantis suaugusiųjų, kalbančių už vaikus, požiūriu, didesnio dėmesio nekreipiant į tai, ką gali pasakyti patys vaikai. Vis dėlto praėjusio šimtmečio devintojo dešimtmečio socialiniuose tyrimuose pradėtos taikyti naujos strategijos, kurias lėmė įvairių mokslo šakų, filosofinių paradigmų kaitos bei pasaulinių organizacijų nuostatų pokyčiai. Šios strategijos skatino kovoti su vaikų sampratos ignoravimu ir siekė įtraukti pačius vaikus ir remtis jų požiūriu į mokslinių tyrimų kūrimą ir vykdymą. Šiame straipsnyje pateikiama etnografinio tyrimo, atskleidžiančio vaikų dalyvavimo kuriant mokslo žinias svarbą, medžiaga. Tyrime nagrinėta, kaip ginkluoto konflikto metu perkeltieji vaikai kuria savo fizinio ir kultūrinio pasaulio prasmę smurto ir skurdo paveiktoje Kolumbijos srityje. Remiantis etnografiniais stebėjimais, interviu ir vaikų sukurtais fotonaratyvais, tyrime buvo plėtojama vaikų aktyvaus dalyvavimo moksliniame tyrime idėja. Šiame straipsnyje pabrėžiama, kad tyrimai bendradarbiaujant su vaikais suteikia jiems galimybę labiau dalyvauti formuojant juos supantį pasaulį. Tyrimų bendradarbiaujant koncepcijos aktualizavimas Kolumbijos kontekste taip pat galėtų stiprinti mokslinius tyrimus ir kaip konkrečią veiklą, skatinančią socialines transformacijas.
IKT ir internetas kaip etnografinio tyrimo „rėmai“ ir laukas

Published: January 2018

Šiame straipsnyje siekiu aptarti savo, kaip trejų metų etnografinio tyrimo grupės nario, požiūrį. Projekte „Medicininis švietimas skaitmeniniame amžiauje“ (angl. Medical Education in a Digital Age) naudoti skirtingi duomenų kūrimo metodai: dokumentų analizė (išanalizuota 60 skirtingų institucinių tekstų) ir pusiau struktūruotų interviu analizė (kartu su administracijos personalu, akademiniu personalu bei techninės pagalbos personalu buvo atlikta 16 interviu). Be abejo, dokumentų analizė ir interviu yra metodai, turintys labiau institucinės etnografijos nei „tradicinės“ antropologinės etnografijos (Smith, 2015) charakteristiką. Dviejose žemynuose tyrėjų grupės atliktas tyrimas iškėlė kompleksinių klausimų, susijusių ne tik su tyrimo lauku, bet ir su tyrėjų bendradarbiavimo pobūdžiu. Šie klausimai leido giliau apmąstyti etnografinio tyrimo sampratą, kai tyrėjai ir tyrimo laukas yra iš dalies virtualūs. Mano atsakymai į šiuos klausimus remiasi metodologinio pliuralizmo idėja ir pragmatiniu požiūriu į tyrimo procesą.

The economic development in ASEAN still declines environmental quality, whereas the worst environmental quality became negative externality reduce output in many sectors of ASEAN’s economy. This paper aimed to analyze the two-way relationship among economic development and environmental degradation in ASEAN with the factors which influenced it. This article used a panel data from eight ASEAN countries with the period of 2004 – 2013. The analysis method used simultaneous equation model. The results showed the two-way relationship between economic development and environmental degradation in ASEAN existed. Moreover, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita and energy consumption had a positive impact on environmental degradation. Meanwhile, carbon dioxide emission per capita and trade openness had a positive effect on economic development. Therefore, the economic development strategy for ASEAN countries should be directed to increase GDP per capita and reduce the energy consumption.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v7i1.6024
The Asymmetric Effects of Oil Price Changes on the Economic Activities in Indonesia
Authors: Artami Rina Juliet , Hara Yonosuke
Published: January 2018

This paper analyzes the asymmetric impact of oil price changes on the economic growth of and inflation in Indonesia by using the vector autoregression (VAR) model for the period from 1990Q1 to 2016Q4. The results show that the impact of oil price changes on the gross domestic product (GDP) is asymmetric, as a drop in oil prices decreases the GDP, whereas an increase in oil prices does not significantly affect GDP. It is crucial for Indonesia to reduce its dependency on oil, mainly as its primary source of revenue, and also consider utilizing more sources of renewable energy. At the same time, the effects of both the positive and negative changes in oil prices are found to be not statistically significant to inflation. The lack of impact of oil price changes on inflation can explain by the implementation of the fuel price subsidy in Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v7i1.6052

Se realizó la caracterización óptica de la materia orgánica (MO) de un Andisol, obtenida en extracciones selectivas y secuenciales de Al, Fe y Si (cloruro de potasio, pirofosfato de sodio, oxalato ácido de amonio, ditionito-citrato-bicarbonato e hidróxido de sodio). A partir de las absorbancias se calculó la relación E4/E6, el ∆ log K, el Índice Melánico (IM) y el ODOE. Los comportamientos de la relación E4/E6, del ∆ log K y del IM en los extractos obtenidos con pirofosfato de sodio y con oxalato ácido de amonio mostraron un mayor grado de humificación para la materia orgánica extraída de los horizontes A y 2B/A y uno menor para la extraída de los horizontes 3C/A y 4Bs. El ODOE mostró la presencia de complejos orgánicos en los extractos obtenidos con pirofosfato e hidróxido de sodio y, la acumulación iluvial de óxidos e hidróxidos de Fe no cristalinos en el horizonte 4Bs en el extracto obtenido con oxalato ácido de amonio. En el horizonte A, los índices de humificación marcaron un cambio en el grado de evolución de la MO entre 8 y 10 cm de profundidad, lo cual podría indicar la presencia de una discontinuidad litológica o de un suelo enterrado.

*** Prevalência de problemas emocional e comportamento em uma amostra de adolescentes mexicanos***Os transtornos mentais são considerados como um problema de saúde pública devido à sua alta prevalência. O objetivo deste trabalho foi fazer uma comparação por sexo da presença de problemas emocionais e comportamentais em 653 adolescentes mexicanos com uma faixa etária de 15 a 18 anos, através da Escala de Problemas Emocionais e Comportamentais, validada por Andrade, Betancourt e Vallejo (2010). Os resultados revelaram que as mulheres são 54% mais risco de internalização e externalização de problemas em relação aos homens. Finalmente, é enfatizada a necessidade de considerar as diferenças de cada sexo na avaliação de problemas emocionais e comportamentais, bem como no desenvolvimento de estratégias voltadas para a promoção de sua saúde.

Os estudantes universitários estrangeiros fazem parte da categoria de imigrantes voluntários, que se desloca para realizar a formação superior em outro país. O processo imigratório acarreta uma série de desafios e não deixa de ter consequências no psiquismo dos sujeitos. Dessa forma, objetivou-se apresentar e discutir características do sofrimento psíquico desses estudantes estrangeiros residentes em Florianópolis. Para tanto, produziu-se uma pesquisa qualitativa na qual os dados foram coletados a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 15 participantes. Os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo, com suporte do software Atlas.ti. Assim, foi possível distinguir três subcategorias de análise: sintomas físicos, sociais e psicológicos. Observou-se um alto índice de somatizações, experiências de discriminação e relatos de sentimento de não pertencimento. Em conclusão, ressalta-se a necessidade de se refletir sobre formas de amenizar o sofrimento e de pensar em programas específicos para essa população, principalmente no contexto universitário.
Lixboa revisitada ou o império retornado: a mito-poética da Mensagem (e uma saudade lusíada) n’As naus de Lobo Antunes
Authors: Bergamo Edvaldo , Medeiros Ana Clara Magalhães de
Published: January 2018

A experiência histórica portuguesa pós-1974 propiciou a difusão de romances de notável arrojo ético-estético. As naus (1988), de António Lobo Antunes, é prosa que remete à tradição literária enformadora da cultura lusa, em que Os Lusíadas, de Camões, e a Mensagem, de Pessoa, são pilares para o estabelecimento de um grande diálogo mito-poético. Aliando mito e poesia, como propõe o teórico Northrop Frye, à noção de saudade, como traço português inerente (conforme Eduardo Lourenço e Teixeira de Pascoaes), este artigo propõe um estudo comparado do romance de Lobo Antunes especialmente à Mensagem (1934): um encadeamento que impele a revisitação ao icônico épico de Camões. Recorrendo-se, ainda, aos conceitos de romance histórico, de György Lukács, e de dialogismo, de Mikhail Bakhtin, o trabalho amplifica discussões suscitadas pelo romance em causa: a tensão entre a história hegemônica e a vida comum, a tradição literária e os impasses político-sociais do século XX.********************************************************************Lixbon revisited or the returned empire: the mythopoetic of Mensagem (and a miss of lusiads) in As Naus by Lobo AntunesThe Portuguese experience after 1974 propitiated a diffusion of notable boldness ethic-aesthetic novels. As Naus (1998), written by Lobo Antunes, is a prose that remit to the literary tradition of the Portuguese cultural form, in which Lusíadas, by Camões, and Mensagem, by Pessoa, are the pillars to the establishment of a major myth-poetic dialogue. Combining myth and poetry, as proposes the theorist Frye, the notion of saudade [yearning], as an inerent Portuguese feature (according to Lourenço and Pascoaes), we propose a comparated study in the romance of Antunes, especially to the Mensagem (1934): a chaining that drives the revisitation to the iconic Epic of Camões. Recurring to the concepts of the historical novel, by Lukács, and the dialogic of Bakhtin, this document amplifies the discussions instilled by the novel in cause: the tension between hegemoniacal history and common life, the literary tradition and the political stalemates of the XX century. Keywords: Lobo Antunes; Pessoa; Camões; Portuguese Historical Contemporary Novel

Published: January 2018

Background

Potential concerns are increasing that smartphone and Internet addictions may have deleterious effects on the mental health. Despite the recognition of the important role that implicit associations may have over explicit processes in addiction, such implicit associations have not been comprehensively investigated with respect to Internet addiction. Therefore, we modified the Implicit Association Test (IAT) for smartphone and Internet addictions and investigated its validity in children and adolescents.

Methods

In this experimental study, 78 at-risk children and adolescents ranging in age from 7 to 17 years completed an IAT modified with pictures captured from the most popular Internet games among youth. Furthermore, measures of Internet and smartphone addictions, mental health and problem behaviors, impulsive tendencies, self-esteem, daily stress, and quality of life were assessed simultaneously.

Results

Significant correlations were found between IAT D2SD scores and standardized scales for Internet (r = .28, p < .05) and smartphone (r = .33, p < .01) addictions. There were no significant correlations between IAT parameters and other scales measuring the constructs that are less relevant to the features of addiction, such as daily stress levels, impulsivity, and quality of life. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the IAT D2SD was independently and positively associated with smartphone addiction (p = .03) after controlling for other clinical correlates.

Conclusions

This study demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity of this IAT as a novel measurement relating to Internet and smartphone addictions. Further longitudinal and prospective studies are needed to evaluate its potential utility in clinical and community settings.

Abstract:

Introduction and aim: This paper describes both the English health resource allocation and the attempt of its Hungarian adaptation. Method: We describe calculations for a Hungarian regression model using the English ‘weighted capitation formula’. Results: The model has proven statistically correct. New independent variables and homogenous regional units have to be found for Hungary. Conclusion: The English method can be used with adequate variables. Hungarian patient-level health data can support a much more sophisticated model. Further research activities are needed. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(5): 183–191.

Abstract:

Introduction: Oscillometric devices in contrast to the traditional Doppler based method for ankle-brachial index measurements have promising advantages like no need for special training, faster performance, and operator independence. Aim: Comparative assessment of the oscillometric and Doppler-based ankle-brachial index measurement. Method: Ankle-brachial index measurements were performed by continuous wave Doppler and an automatic oscillometric device (BOSO ABI-system 100) in consecutive subjects. The comparative assessment was performed by Bland−Altman and ROC analysis. Results: The two kinds of measurements (734 measurements) showed a good agreement in the ankle-brachial index spectrum close to the cut-off value of 0.9. The agreement diminished below or above this value. The optimal oscillometric ankle-brachial index diagnostic cut-off value was 0.96. Conclusions: The oscillometric device is not interchangeable for Doppler devices in the whole ankle-brachial index spectrum. Nevertheless, owing to its discriminative power, the oscillometric measurement potentially has an efficient role in the screening of asymptomatic patients. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(5): 176–182.

Abstract:

Authors report on a case of a male patient of systemic mastocytosis that was associated with extensive cutaneous lesions. Chronic diarrhoea worsening his quality of life was well managed by the administration of antihistamines. The pleural fluid recurrence soon after drainage has been controlled by the administration of alpha interferon. 40 years after the onset of the first skin signs progression has been manifested in the development of “B” (bone marrow infiltration rate >30%, dysmyelopoiesis, serum tryptase >20 μg/L, hepato- and splenomegaly) and “C” symptoms (liver function test abnormalities, cytopenia, malabsorption, osteoporosis). The patient died at age of 87. The authors’ aim was to attract attention on this rare disease and emphasize that symptomatic therapy with antihistamines and drugs available based on customised rights by the National Health Insurance Fund might provide good quality of life.

Social media: Insights for medical education from instructor perceptions and usage
Authors: Keenan Iain D. , Slater J. Duncan , Matthan Joanna
Published: January 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. The popularity and utility of social media in medical education have progressed dramatically during the last decade. Social media are increasingly used for educational and professional purposes and are known to be both theoretically beneficial and practically effective. We have investigated the perceptions and usage of social media by educators across multiple disciplines, roles and demographics in order to determine the present situation regarding social media as educational tools. We show that discipline and demographics have limited impact on perceptions of the value of social media. As medical educators, we consider our findings to be broadly pertinent to undergraduate medical education. Results presented here indicate that many educators at UK universities consider social media to be educationally valuable. However, this is not always directly translated into usage due to the presence of certain barriers. This finding is characterised by a disparity between the extent of positive perceptions of social media and the amount of practical usage within the context of medical education and other undergraduate disciplines. Our work has shed some light on the reasons why educators may choose not to use social media, in addition to how and why they do use it, which can provide a basis for developing strategies for training medical educators in approaches to social media in learning and teaching, and for encouraging appropriate usage of these valuable educational tools.
