¿ESTÁ JUSTIFICADA LA MALA IMAGEN DE LA ADMINISTRACIÓN DE JUSTICIA ESPAÑOLA? ¿ES UN PROBLEMA DE INVERSIÓN?: UNA COMPARATIVA EUROPEA MEDIANTE EL ANÁLISIS DEA
Authors: Vázquez Cueto María José , Gutiérrez López Francisco
Published: January 2018

La justicia es un bien público y, en consecuencia, en el seno de la Administración Pública, el correcto funcionamiento de la Administración de Justicia tiene capital importancia para una sociedad. En la actualidad, el sistema judicial español es objeto de severas críticas, que lo califican de ineficiente y tardío. Un gran sector social y profesional de la Administración de Justicia considera que la falta de medios es la causa de su mal funcionamiento, y reclaman mayor inversión. En este trabajo analizamos si ambas aseveraciones son acertadas: si es ineficiente la Administración de Justicia española y si un mayor gasto conllevaría a la mejora de este servicio público. Aplicando la metodología de Análisis Envolvente de Datos (DEA), determinamos la eficiencia de la Administración de Justicia española en relación con otras Administraciones de Justicia europeas y, mediante el análisis tobit, relacionamos las puntuaciones DEA y el gasto público. Nuestros resultados concluyen que un mayor esfuerzo en el gasto conllevará a una mejor posición. ABSTRACTJustice is a public good. Therefore, within the core of the Public Administration, the proper functioning of the Judicial Administration is of utmost importance to society. Currently, the Spanish Judicial System is being subject to sharp criticism that qualifies it as inefficient and belated. A large social and professional sector of the Judicial Administration considers that the lack of means is the reason behind its poor functioning and so, they demand greater investment. Throughout this paper the accuracy of both assertions will be analysed: whether the Spanish Judicial Administration is inefficient and whether a greater expenditure would lead to the improvement of such public service. By applying the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology, the efficiency of the Spanish Judicial Administration is determined and compared to that of other European Judicial Administrations. Through the Tobit analysis, the DEA levels are related to the public spending. Our outcomes show that a greater expenditure effort will result into a better ranking position.

Rational management of labor with a narrow pelvis is one of the most difficult sections of practical obstetrics, because narrow pelvis is the main cause of birth trauma and childhood disability.

The aim of the study was to determine significance of ultrasound pelviometry in the diagnostics of anatomical and clinical narrow pelvis. On the basis of maternity hospitals of Trans-Baikal Region in the years 2013-2017 was held retrospective and prospective analysis of 150 labor histories, which were divided into 3 equal groups: group 1 – pregnant women with normal sizes of the large pelvis, group 2 – pregnant women with macrosomia, group 3 – pregnant women with a reduced sizes of the large pelvis. Ultrasonic pelvimetry included measurement of direct and transverse sizes of the planes of the pelvic cavity and the angle of the pubic arc through the integrated use of abdominal, transvaginal and translabial sensors of ultrasound machine Toshiba Aplio 500. In the group of pregnant women with normal sizes of the large pelvis frequency of diagnosis of anatomical narrow pelvis used by ultrasound pelvimetry is 32%. In the group of pregnant women with macrosomia is dominated the normal size of the pelvic cavity (62%) and “wide pelvis” (18%). In 20 % of cases the diagnosis of anatomical narrow pelvis in group 3 was not confirmed by the data of ultrasonic pelvimetry. The most common forms of the narrow pelvis were the transversal pelvis (46%), the simple flat pelvis (14%), the uniformly narrow pelvis (10%). On the basis of mathematical modeling defined pattern, which is expressed by the formula:

where AE – angle extension of the head, PC – angle of the pubic arc, TD1 – transverse size of the plane of the entrance, TD2 – transverse size of the plane of the output, FD1 – direct size of the plane of the entrance, FD2 – direct size of the narrowest part of the pelvic cavity, GA – gestational age, BPD – biparietal size, OFD – fronto-occipital size of the fetus’s head. When the value of the coefficient less than 1 is projected clinically narrow pelvis (r2 = 0,92). Thus, ultrasonic pelvimetry allows to determine not only the size of the pelvic cavity, but also to predict clinically narrow pelvis.
Loss of temperature and pain sensation as risk marker of neurological complications in surgical correction of severe spinal deformity
Authors: Shchurova Elena N. , Saifutdinov Marat S. , Ryabykh Sergei O.
Published: January 2018

Background. Treatment of severe spinal deformity remains a challenging surgical problem, with an iatrogenic injury to the spinal cord being a critical complication. There is a high risk of neurological deficit following surgical correction of a severe spinal deformity.

Aim. To determine the relationship between the extent of disturbed thermal and pain sensations at Th1-S2 dermatomas and the intensity of the spinal cord pathways’ responses to surgical correction of the severe spinal deformity.

Material and methods. We reviewed 58 patients with severe spinal deformities of different etiologies (mean age, 15.7±0.8 years). All patients underwent surgical deformity correction followed by thoracic/thoracolumbar spine fixation by using a variety of internal transpedicular fixations. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) with transcranial motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) was used during operative interventions. Preoperative and postoperative thermal and pain sensations were assessed in Th1-S2 dermatomas to the right and left by using an electrical aesthesiometer.

Results. The extent of disturbed preoperative and postoperative thermal and pain sensations in Th1-S2 dermatomas before and after correction of spinal deformities correlated with the response type scale (I–V) of the spinal cord pathways to the surgical correction we offered. Correlation between the response type and characteristics of thermal and pain sensations was mostly revealed by the test results for the thermal pain threshold (thermal analgesia). The incidence of postoperative thermal analgesia increased monotonically from patients with response type I (persistent MEP form and amplitude-time parameters close to the baseline) to patients with response type V (higher risk of neurological complications). The overall rate of thermal analgesia increased after surgical correction of the spinal deformity relative to the baseline and was higher (≤8%) in patients with response type V.

Conclusions. Surgeons and neurophysiologists who perform IONM should give careful attention to patients with severe spinal deformity who exhibit marked postoperative thermal analgesia.
Maternal attitude as a resource for overcoming the psychological consequences of a severe form of an orthopedic disease
Authors: Pyatakova Galina V. , Vissarionov Sergey V. , Lebedeva Ekaterina I.
Published: January 2018

Introduction. Idiopathic scoliosis in a surgical pathology stage creates a difficult situation in the life of sick adolescents. There may be signs of marked neuropsychic stress, fear, helplessness, and behavioral deviations in adolescents suffering from the scoliotic disease. Hence, it is important to study the factors of protection and external adaptation resources that are crucial for coping with psychological difficulties in adolescence. One such resource is the maternal attitude, including emotional support.

Material and methods. Sixty women were enrolled in the study, 30 of whom were mothers of patients of a pediatric orthopedic clinic who had been diagnosed as having idiopathic scoliosis of 3–4°, and 30 were mothers of adolescents without disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The method used the A.Ya. Varga and V.V. Stolin diagnostics of parental attitude, the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire, and C.D. Spielberg’s self-evaluation technique for determining the level of situational and personal anxiety (adaptation of Y.L. Khanin). Average statistics were calculated, the statistical significance of differences in comparisons was calculated by performing Student’s test, and correlation analysis was performed by calculating Spearman’s correlation coefficients.

Results. The attitudes of the parents of the healthy adolescents and those of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis were characterized by a predominance of positive feelings and a desire to provide emotional support to the adolescent proportionally while recognizing the difficulties in the child’s life situation. A mother’s positive attitude toward her child under treatment in a surgical clinic for correction of a severe spinal deformity may be distorted by her anxiety and depressive feelings, which may reduce the mother’s ability to provide emotional support in a situation difficult for the child. An important component in the system of psychological care for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis may be professional psychological support focused on harmonization of child–parent relations.

Deciphering the Role of the Barr Body in Malignancy: An insight into head and neck cancer
Authors: Sharma Deepti , Koshy George , Gupta Shruti , Sharma Bhushan , Grover Sonal
Published: January 2018

X chromosome inactivation is the epitome of epigenetic regulation and long non-coding ribonucleic acid function. The differentiation status of cells has been ascribed to X chromosome activity, with two active X chromosomes generally only observed in undifferentiated or poorly differentiated cells. Recently, several studies have indicated that the reactivation of an inactive X chromosome or X chromosome multiplication correlates with the development of malignancy; however, this concept is still controversial. This review sought to shed light on the role of the X chromosome in cancer development. In particular, there is a need for further exploration of the expression patterns of X-linked genes in cancer cells, especially those in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), in order to identify different prognostic subpopulations with distinct clinical implications. This article proposes a functional relationship between the loss of the Barr body and the disproportional expression of X-linked genes in HNSCC development.

Published: January 2018

Objectives: Counselling plays a key role in enhancing reproductive services, providing contraception-related information and supporting long-term family planning for women of childbearing age. This study aimed to evaluate family planning counselling sessions in selected governmental and private clinics in northern Jordan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between January and June 2016 in Irbid, Jordan. A total of 200 women attending two private clinics affiliated with the Jordanian Association for Family Planning and Protection (JAFPP) and six governmental clinics were invited to participate in the study. Counselling sessions were attended by an independent observer and evaluated with regards to their compliance with the standard Greet, Ask, Tell,Help, Explain, Return (GATHER) framework. Results: A total of 198 women participated in the study (response rate: 99.0%), including 80 women (40.4%) from JAFPP clinics and 118 (59.6%) from governmental clinics. In total, 42.9% of the counselling sessions were deemed adequate, with providers applying 80% or more of the GATHER framework, while 26.8% of the sessions were deemed semi-adequate and 30.3% were considered inadequate. Counselling services provided in the governmental clinics were significantly less adequate than those provided in JAFPP clinics (P <0.001). Conclusion: The quality of counselling services in governmental family planning centres in Jordan needs to be improved to ensure that women receive the highest possible level of care. Healthcarepolicymakers should therefore focus on developing and supporting effective family planning counselling services in northern Jordan.

Published: January 2018

Acute polyneuropathy is a rare manifestation of severe hyperthyroidism. We report a 22-year-old Omani male who presented to the Sohar Hospital, Sohar, Oman, in 2016 with acute-onset rapidly progressive flaccid areflexic paraplegia as the presenting manifestation of thyrotoxicosis. Nerve conduction studies revealed mixed axonal and demyelinating polyneuropathy in both the motor and sensory nerves. Treatment of the hyperthyroidism with β-blockers and carbimazole along with physiotherapy resulted in the patient’s full recovery and the alleviation of his symptoms. Besides highlighting this rare association, this report underscores the importance of including thyroid function tests in the evaluation of patients with acute polyneuropathy.
Intravenous Remifentanil Analgaesia for an Obstetric Patient with Type I Neurofibromatosis and a Factor V Leiden Mutation
Authors: Gálvez José L. , Errando Carlos L. , Serrano Silvia , Martín-Ayuso Marga , Valverde-Mantecón José M.
Published: January 2018

Type I neurofibromatosis is characterised by altered skin pigmentation and the growth of benign tumours, particularly along the peripheral nerves and central nervous system. We report a 36-year-old primigravida woman in labour who was admitted to the obstetric suite of the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Barcelona, Spain, in 2007 with hypothyroidism, type I neurofibromatosis and a factor V Leiden mutation. Due to a lack of cranial and spinal imaging data, an epidural was not indicated; instead, continuous intravenous remifentanil analgaesia was administered. The remifentanil infusion was self-titrated by the patient using a visual analogue scale, with the dosage ranging from 0.01 to 0.25 μg/kg/minute. Due to rotational dystocia, Kjelland-type forceps were used during the delivery. After birth, the infant was found to have Apgar scores of 9 and 10, with no maternal or neonatal adverse effects observed. Although still controversial, remifentanil may be a successful alternative for analgaesia in similar cases; however, the specific risks and benefits for each patient should be considered prior to administration.
Gingival Leiomyosarcoma in a Young Woman: Case report and literature review
Authors: Viviano Massimo , Miracco Clelia , Lorenzini Guido , Baldino Gennaro , Cocca Serena
Published: January 2018

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare mesenchymal malignancy, of which 3–10% of cases occur in the head and neck region. We report a 22-year-old woman who was referred to the University Hospital of Siena, Italy, in 2016 with an ostensibly benign asymptomatic lump on the mandibular gingiva. The lesion grew rapidly, causing otalgia in the right ear. An excisional biopsy was performed and primary LMS was diagnosed histologically. Subsequently, the patient underwent radical re-excision of the perilesional mucosa, a partial bone resection and the extraction of four teeth. No recurrences or metastases were detectable at a 20-month follow-up. This report discusses the differential diagnosis of LMS with regards to other benign and malignant lesions and reviews the recent literature on primary and secondary oral LMS. Due to its innocuous clinical features—including its asymptomatic nature and presentation at a young age—this aggressive malignancy can go undetected; therefore, an early histopathological diagnosis is crucial.

PROTECTING, BALANCING, AND CONFRONTING: HEALTH-SEEKING AMONG HOMELESS YOUTH IN HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM
Authors: Boggiano Victoria L. , Harris Leslie M. , Schmidt Verena , Nguyen Le Quang , Nguyen Ha An , Barry Michele
Published: January 2018

The objective of this study was to explore health-seeking behaviors and barriers faced in accessing care among homeless youth living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Twelve in-depth interviews were conducted with homeless youth aged 18 to 25. Participants were identified using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory techniques. Interviews with youth revealed that while living on the streets, they had to balance their need for security with attending to their daily survival needs, which led to a disconnection from thinking about their health. When faced with a major health issue, youth turned to their informal networks of support instead of seeking immediate medical care. To manage their basic health needs, youth obtained medicine and health advice from local pharmacies and sought advice from social workers. Homeless youth interviewed in this study relied on an informal network of peers, social workers, and pharmacies when engaging with the health care system. They also faced several barriers to accessing health services, many of which are tied specifically to policies that make homelessness discriminated against in Vietnam. Within Vietnam’s unique political and social context, there is a need for increased collaboration between service providers such as health clinics, local pharmacies, and social workers to provide appropriate health services to this vulnerable population.
The Bouzouki’s Signifiers and Significance Through the Zeibekiko Dance Song: "Evdokia’s Zeibekiko"
Authors: Saragatsis Evangelos , Vamvakidou Ifigeneia
Published: January 2018

The objective of this study is to identify the signifiers and significance of the Zeibekiko dance, and those of the bouzouki itself, to a further extent, as they emerge through research conducted in the relevant literature, and which is anchored to those signifiers, as they are highlighted through their presence in material that is obtained from movies. The semiotic analysis of the film “Evdokia”, by A. Damianos (1971), is the research method that is followed. In this context, the main focus is placed on the episode/scene, where Evdokia’s Zeibekiko is displayed on stage. This ‘polytropic’ (polymodal) material that consists of listening to, viewing, playing music, and dancing encompasses a large variety of musicological and gender signifiers that refer to the specific era. The model followed is that of Greimas (1996), as it was used by Lagopoulos & Boklund-Lagopoulou (2016), and Christodoulou (2012), in order to point out those characteristic features that are expressed by the bouzouki, as a musical instrument, through a representative sample of the zeibekiko dance, as it is illustrated in the homonymous film. The analysis of images, as well as of the language message, lead to the emergence of codes, such as the one referring to the gender, and also the symbolic, value, and social codes, and it is found that all these codes agree with the introductory literature research conducted on the zeibekiko dance and the bouzouki. Based on the combination of these approaches to the analysis performed, a number of elements can be clearly identified, such as the dancer’s masculinity, the loneliness that characterizes the dance, the values adhered to and the respect shown to the codes of honor, and all these elements confirm the initial literature research conducted on the zeibekiko dance, and by extent, the fact that the bouzouki expresses all the above characteristics.

Published: January 2018

The creation of policy is one of the prerogatives of a free and uninhibited (freies ermessen, or free discretion) government administrations. Although freies ermessen grants free authority to the government, within the framework of national the law said the government should still observe legislation and the Principles of Good Governance. However, at the implementation level, there are still many policies that which are difficult to put into effect due to ambiguous interpretation and conflicts of interest, thus resulting in legal uncertainty. Based on this, there needs to be an affirmation of the position taken by the Indonesian government regarding the contradictory relationship between written law and implementation, so as to ensure the appropriate application of the principles of freies ermessen.

Climate change has come and sustainability has become a global priority. Sustainability in building sector means not only new construction but also refurbishment of existing buildings. Gas emissions reduction goes necessarily through to enhace environmental and energetic characteristics of existing buildings. So, the use of renewable energy is necessary as well as sustainable refurbshiments. Many issues have a direct impact on the sustainability of a refurbishment, (environmental, social, economic, energetic, etc). This study proposes a model to weight or measure economic, environmental and energetic costs in refurbishing a façade of building, with verifiable and comparable results as a first approach to get the best model to a global evaluation in building sector. To get this model, the author study eight different refurbishment proposals for a choosen façade of building setting two different types of actions. This model is based on life cycle analysis and shows cuantitative and comparables results expressed in graphics to get a better understanding.ResumenEl cambio climático es ya una realidad y la sostenibilidad se ha convertido en una prioridad a nivel mundial. Dicha sostenibilidad, aplicada al sector de la construcción, significa no solo lo relativo a la nueva construcción sino también en lo referente a la reforma de la edificación existente. La reducción en la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero pasa necesariamente por la mejora de las características ambientales y energéticas de los edificios existentes. En este sentido se hace necesario el uso de energías renovables así como una mejora de la edificación existente para que sea sostenible. Son muchos los aspectos que tienen un impacto directo en la sostenibilidad a la hora de acometer una actuación de rehabilitación, ambientales, sociales y económicos. Este trabajo propone un modelo que mida los costes económicos y medioambientales a la hora de reformar la fachada de un edificio, aportando unos resultados comparables y verificables, como una primera aproximación para conseguir el mejor modelo de evaluación global del edificio.

Published: January 2018

Legal protection to women and children as human trafficking victims in Banyumas, to date, has not been viewed in victimology perspective. Intriguing issues have been analyzed regarding legal protection and factors that tend to inhibit its implementation in victimology perspective. This study used a qualitative research method and sociological juridical approach. The results showed that the third goal of victimology has not been reached, in which the legal protection is not yet fully leads to the needs of victims. The main factor that tends to influence is the correlation between the victim’s fault in the occurrence of human trafficking and the victim's response to legal protection, while other inhibiting factors are the legal structure, legal substance, and society legal culture.Keywords: legal protection, women, children, human trafficking, victimology

Published: January 2018

Government policy relies on the balance of economic and environmental conservation activities to achieve sustainable development. In the perspective of legal studies, this study employs normative legal research and empirical legal research methods, particularly descriptive analysis and qualitative analysis method. Cirebon City does not have a Strategic Environmental Assessment regarding coastal development management policy due to lack of Human Resources, institutional and budgetary constraints. Conservation activities are required to maintain the diversity of aquatic biota through habitat rehabilitation as well as flora and fauna preservation. Therefore, potential excavation, potential zone arrangement and formulation concept of coastal zone and small islands management system are conducted through arranging Strategic Environmental Assessment. This is are crucial considering the current condition of Cirebon City’s Coast along 7 (seven) kilometers. Approximately 20% of the coast suffer severe damage. This damage occurs due to people’s behavior who cut down the mangrove trees for their daily needs.Keywords: Strategic Environmental Assessment, Conservation

Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is used for periodontal tissue regeneration therapy, and can induce mineralization in dental pulp cells (DPCs). We designed a synthetic peptide (SP) derived from the response of cells to EMD, and investigated the effect of the SP on potentiating osteogenesis in DPCs, which have a critical role of dental pulp homeostasis. DPCs were treated with 0, 10, 100, or 1000 ng/mL SP to determine its effect on cell proliferation, cell migration, cell differentiation, and mineralization. We then examined the molecular effects of the SP, focusing on changes in the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway in these cells. The SP significantly promoted DPC proliferation and migration. Cultures treated with the SP also showed an enhanced expression of markers of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. The SP also induced the activation of MAPK signaling pathway components. These results suggest that our SP could promote the dental pulp tissue repair by hard tissue formation and the mineralization through activating MAPK signaling pathway. This study provides the first evidence that SP might be a new material for dental pulp tissue treatment.
Revisiting Degrees of Freedom of Full-Duplex Systems with Opportunistic Transmission: An Improved User Scaling Law

It was recently studied how to achieve the optimal degrees of freedom (DoF) in a multi-antenna full-duplex system with partial channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we revisit the DoF of a multiple-antenna full-duplex system using opportunistic transmission under the partial CSI, in which a full-duplex base station having M transmit antennas and M receive antennas supports a set of half-duplex mobile stations (MSs) having a single antenna each. Assuming no self-interference, we present a new hybrid opportunistic scheduling method that achieves the optimal sum DoF under an improved user scaling law. It is shown that the optimal sum DoF of 2M is asymptotically achievable provided that the number of MSs scales faster than SNRM, where SNR denotes the signal-to-noise ratio. This result reveals that in our full-duplex system, better performance on the user scaling law can be obtained without extra CSI, compared to the prior work that showed the required user scaling condition (i.e., the minimum number of MSs for guaranteeing the optimal DoF) of SNR2M−1.
Input Power Factor Control of Matrix Converter Based Transmitter for Transient Electromagnetic Sounding
Authors: Li Gang
Published: January 2018

Three-phase to single-phase matrix converter (TSMC) is used as the transmitter for transient electromagnetic method (TEM) instrument, instead of an AC-DC converter and an H-bridge inverter. The transmitter produces excitation current for primary field. The output current has a waveform with a bipolar square of half duty cycle, which is required by TEM. The space vector PWM based on input currents is discussed in detail. The control method of input power factor is proposed for TSMC. The simulation model of TSMC is established and the simulations of different conditions are completed. The simulation results show the controllability of the input power factor is illustrated.
Assessing the Drivers of Traditional and Local Products Consumption in Europe. Are There any Contradictions?

Published: January 2018

This study assesses attitudes of young adults' (18-30 years old) consumption on local and traditional products in7 European countries. A clustered sample (n=836) from natives of Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Denmark and France was collected, by distributing questionnaires through social media and university mail services. Sample was examined by implementing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in three different samples; overall and two subgroups, Eastern and Western European countries. Six major factors revealed: consumer behavior, health issues, cost, influence from media and close environment and availability on store. As a result, young adults have a positive attitude to local and traditional food products but they express insecurity for health issues. Cost factor influences less people from Eastern European countries than those from the overall sample (3rd and 5th factor accordingly). Influence of close environment is a different factor in Eastern countries comparing to Western ones that it common with influence from media. Females and older people (25-30 years old) doubt less about TFPs, while media have high influence on consumers’ decisions. Aim of this survey is to create consumer profiles of young adults and create different promotion strategies of local and traditional products among the two groups of countries.

This paper is about to estimate the suspended sediment transport amount in the streams flowing into the Sapanca Lake Basin. There are 12 subsidiary streams flowing into the Sapanca Lake Basin. With the aim of estimating the suspended sediment transport in 2012-204 in these subsidiary streams, measurements belonging the parameters such as level, cross sectioning, flow rate, temperature and suspended sediment were made monthly. Along the measurement period, weather conditions were above seasonal normal and precipitations decreased. In order to estimate the suspended sediment amount by using results of the measurement obtained, Artificial Neuron Network (ANN), Sediment Rating Curve (SRC) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) models were used for different scenarios. It was seen that artificial neuron networks yielded the most accurate results among the models.

Chitosan treatment results in significantly lower serum LDL cholesterol concentrations. To assess the working mechanism of chitosan, we measured serum surrogate markers of cholesterol absorption (campesterol, sitosterol, cholestanol), synthesis (lathosterol, lanosterol, desmosterol), and degradation to bile acids (7α-hydroxy-cholesterol, 27-hydroxy-cholesterol) corrected for cholesterol concentration (R_sterols). Over 12 weeks, 116 obese subjects (BMI 31.7, range 28.1 – 38.9 kg/m2) were studied under chitosan (n=61) and placebo treatment (n=55). The participants were briefly educated regarding improvement of nutrition quality and energy expenditure. Daily chitosan intake was 3200 mg. Serum LDL cholesterol concentration decreased significantly more (P=0.0252) under chitosan (-8.67 ± 18.18 mg/dl, 5.6%) than under placebo treatment (-1.00 ± 24.22 mg/dl, 0.9%). This reduction was not associated with the expected greater decreases in markers of cholesterol absorption under chitosan treatment. Also, increase in markers of cholesterol synthesis and bile acid synthesis under chitosan treatment was not any greater than under placebo treatment. In conclusion, a significant selective reduction of serum LDL cholesterol under chitosan treatment is neither associated with a reduction of serum surrogate markers of cholesterol absorption nor with an increases of markers for cholesterol and bile acid synthesis.

The production of olives and olive oil in the Mediterranean region is one of the most important cultivation. The continuous changes of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) towards strengthening the influence of market forces, has increased the necessity for assessing the efficiency of production protocols or patterns being implemented by the farmers. The case of olive trees cultivation, despite the fact that it is very important for both farmers and consumers, has not been in depth analyzed regarding the efficiency of inputs being used during the production process. This study evaluates the efficiency rates of 100 agricultural holding specialized on olive trees cultivation in Greece, by implementing a DEA input oriented model. The inputs being used are land, fertilizers, agrochemicals, labour, and energy. The output being used is the revenue of each holding. The results quantify the significant differentiation of efficiency scores, providing evidence that there is space for restructuring the production process, in order to improve efficiency and decrease by this way the production cost of inefficient farmers.
