Awareness and incidents of occupational health hazards among female workers of small scale food processing units of Punjab state
Authors: Gupta Ritu , Bisht Deepika
Published: March 2019

Female workers have to work both in the industry as well as at the home to meet their family’s daily need. The work pattern in food processing units is very repetitive and exposes workers to several health risks. Lack of protective clothing and equipment also exposes workers’ health to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards and diseases, thereby reducing their efficiency and productivity. The present study was, therefore, undertaken to explore the awareness and incidents of occupational health hazards among female workers of small scale food processing units. The study was carried out on 30 women workers engaged in small scale food processing units. The sample was randomly selected from five randomly selected food processing units of Punjab state. Personal interview method, using an interview schedule, and observation technique were adopted to collect the relevant data. Results revealed that most of the respondents were aware about many of the occupational health hazards related to their work and all the respondents were suffering from muscle pain and discomfort because of working in awkward posture for long working hours. Majority (85 %) of the respondents were aware about the regular use of Personal Protective Equipment/Clothing (PPE/PPC) at workplace, but only 33.3 per cent were using apron, 36.7 per cent were using gloves, 26.7 per cent were using face mask and 40 per cent were using head cover at the workplace. Also because of the pain in the lower back of the respondents, many of their routine activities got affected. The present study highlighted the occupational health hazards faced by the workers of small scale food processing units and the causes of health hazards. It will be beneficial for the workers and the employers of food processing units to take preventive measures to avoid or reduce any health risks at the workplace.

Authors: Gulia Shefali , Yadav Jyoti , Gupta R. K.
Published: March 2019

The aim of the present study was to enumerate the diversity of gut bacterial population of epigeic earthworm species, E. eugeniae exposed to heavy metal. Adult earthworms were treated with three different doses (0.06%, 0.13% and 0.19% w/v) of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) for this purpose. The gut samples were serially diluted and inoculated in seven distinct media viz. Jensen's media, King’smedium B base, Burk’s media, Yeast Mannitol Agar media, Vogel- Johnson agar base media, Luria Bertani Broth Miller and Nutrient agar media. Dose dependent decrease in bacterial population was observed in treated worms when compared with control. Maximum percent change (62.59%) in bacterial population was observed in Burk’s media when exposed to 0.19% chromium. The results revealed that chromium alters the microbial population present in gut of earthworms. Therefore, changes in earthworms’ gut microbial community due to soil management practices can also be used as markers of soil fertility and quality.

Published: March 2019

Study of morphometric characters is generally carried out for species identification in fish biology. It includes the measurements of all body lengths and their inter relationships in terms of ratios and percentages to the independent lengths (Total length, standard length and head length). Present paper deals with the analysis of various morphometric characters with species characteristics in Mastacembelus armatus (Lacepede),  which is one of the most important eel like hillstream fish belonging to order Mastacembeliformes and family Mastacembelidae from river Western Nayar (290 45’ to 300 15’ latitude and 780 34’ to 790 12’ longitude ). Total length, standard length and head lengths were considered as an independent variables in ratio of which other lengths (caudal length, pre orbital length, post orbital length, maximum body depth, snout length and eye diameter) were analysed. The maximum size of fish was observed as 60 cm and the minimum being 10 cm. By using regression and correlation analysis, the modelling of data is presented to find out their interrelationship. The closest correlation was in between total length and standard length (r= 0.999) and the farthest between total length and caudal length ( r= 0.878). The linearity of regression was tested by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) which showed that all the relationships were significant at the level of 5 % significance. The multivariate analysis was also done by using cluster technique which sowed except caudal length rest all characters were forming a close cluster.

Published: March 2019

The present study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant activity of the water and methanol extracts of leaves and fruits extracts of Chamaerops humilis L. by using ABTS cation radicals and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC). Anticholinesterase effect of the extracts was tested against both AChE and BChE using a microplate-reader assay based on the Ellman method. The methanol extracts of C. humilis leaves contained relatively higher content of flavonoids and total phenolics than those of fruits. All the extracts were found to have different levels of antioxidant activity in the systems tested. The leave extract showed the highest value of antioxidant activity, based on ABTS radical-scavenging activity, while the fruit water extract showed the highest value (0.53±0.50 µg/mL) of cupric reducing antioxidant activity.  Our data indicates that both methanol and water fruit extract were active for BChE inhibition (31.65 ± 0.37 and 30.19 ± 0.56%) respectively, whereas, all leave extracts did not show any activity against BChE. The present study demonstrated that the methanol and water extracts fractions of C. humilis have different responses with different antioxidant methods. Our results suggest that the C. humilis could be used as a source of antioxidant agents and may be beneficial in the AD treatment.

Critical Behavior of Heisenberg Chains Coupled to Phonons
Authors: Kühne Rainer
Published: March 2019

We present a quantum Monte Carlo study for the isotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain coupled to Einstein phonons. By investigating the behavior of the correlation length we find the critical exponent to depend on both the phonon frequency and the spin-phonon coupling constant. Hence, these systems change the universality class continuously with the spin-phonon coupling.
Derivation of the Local Lorentz Gauge Transformation of a Dirac Spinor Field in Quantum Einstein-Cartan Theory
Authors: Kühne Rainer
Published: March 2019

I examine the groups which underly classical mechanics, non-relativistic quantum mechanics, special relativity, relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, quantum flavourdynamics, quantum chromodynamics, and general relativity. This examination includes the rotations SO(2) and SO(3), the Pauli algebra, the Lorentz transformations, the Dirac algebra, and the U(1), SU(2), and SU(3) gauge transformations. I argue that general relativity must be generalized to Einstein-Cartan theory, so that Dirac spinors can be described within the framework of gravitation theory.

Damage Detection in Composites by LAI-PZT Transducer
Authors: Mohammadabadi Ali , Dugnani Roberto
Published: March 2019

Composite structures are known for being susceptible to manufacturing defects andin-service damage. Since damage in composites is not always visually apparent, Non-Destructive Techniques (NDT) such as ultrasonic imaging are often employed to detect andquantify damage [1]. Materials such as carbon-epoxy and fiberglass-epoxy plates arefrequently used as structural elements in the both the civil and aerospace industry. Structuremade of these materials display high acoustic impedances along the direction of the fibers butbehave as Low Acoustic Impedance (LAI) materials in the transverse direction (i.e., throughthe composite’s thickness). It follows that LAI acoustic transducer are generally moreappropriate to scan and detect damage/defects through the thickness in various types ofanisotropic structures. When transducers are coupled in a direction orthogonal to the resonantmode they display significantly lower characteristic impedance than if coupled in the samedirection. In some cases, this feature can eliminate the need for intermediate “matching”films and makes LAI transducer desirable for acoustic imaging applications. In this paper weintroduce the use of low-cost, low effective impedance PZT transducer for damage detectionin LAI structures. This manuscript also describes results from both numerical modeling anddamage detection testing performed using a prototype transducer. In the future simple andeconomical transducers resonated in their transverse mode rather than the thickness modecould be used to detect damage such as matrix cracking and delamination of the compositestructure.
Inter and Intra Patient ECG Heartbeat Classification For Arrhythmia Detection: A Sequence to Sequence Deep Learning Approach
Authors: Mousavi Sajad
Published: March 2019

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a common and powerful tool to study heart function and diagnose several abnormal arrhythmias. While there have been remarkable improvements in cardiac arrhythmia classification methods, they still cannot offer acceptable performance in detecting different heart conditions, especially when dealing with imbalanced datasets. In this paper, wepropose a solution to address this limitation of current classification approaches by developing an automatic heartbeat classification method using deep convolutional neural networks and sequence to sequence models. We evaluated the proposed method on the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, considering the intra-patient and inter-patient paradigms, and the AAMI EC57 standard. The evaluation results for both paradigms show that our method achieves the best performance in the literature (a positive predictive value of 96.46% and sensitivity of 100% for the category S, and a positive predictive value of 98.68% and sensitivity of 97.40% for the category F for the intra-patient scheme; a positive predictive value of 92.57% and sensitivity of 88.94% for the category S, and a positive predictive value of 99.50% and sensitivity of 99.94% for the category V for the inter-patient scheme.).

Experimental Evidence for Differences in the Prosocial Effects of Binge-Watched versus Appointment-Viewed Television Programs
Authors: Billard Thomas J
Published: March 2019

This study investigated the influence of television consumption patterns on changes in attitudes toward depicted social out-groups. Participants were randomly assigned to view six episodes of Amazon’s Transparent, a comedy-drama program about a family whose father comes out as a transgender woman, in either one three-hour (“binge-watching”) session or six weekly half-hour (“appointment-viewing”) sessions. Across both groups, we found exposure to the narrative reduced anti-transgender prejudice. Counter to the predictions of the Extended-Elaboration Likelihood Model and the Entertainment Overcoming Resistance Model, however, improvement of prejudice toward transgender people was not predicted by narrative or character involvement. Rather, reduction in prejudice was an outcome of viewing condition such that those who viewed the program on a schedule of one episode per week exhibited lower levels of post-exposure prejudice than those who binge-watched, and their attitudinal changes were more persistent three weeks later. Results are discussed in the context of the original Elaboration Likelihood Model, proposing mechanisms for further testing.
Ineffective Obsessions in Brazilian Academia and Proposals Towards Meritocracy
Authors: Abambres Miguel , Ribeiro Tiago , Sousa Ana , Lantsoght Eva Olivia Leontien
Published: March 2019

Albeit its constitutional claim for quality, Brazilian academia has largely been referred to as unmeritocratic and academic hiring is still inward-oriented. Lattes platform, a public curricular information system, reflects elements of this protectionism. This article assesses two ‘obsessions’ in Brazilian academia: (i) the ‘mandatory’ Lattes CV, and (ii) the candidates’ assessment criteria in public tenders for faculty positions. Several pros and cons (mostly) of the Lattes platform are identified. The following improvements are proposed: (i) evaluations in public tenders based only on candidate’s CV, interview, and a sample lecture, (ii) the dismissal of Lattes CV as a mandatory format, and (iii) the use of platforms as Microsoft Academic, Google Scholar, ORCID or ResearcherID for curricular information. With these recommendations, Brazil can move towards a more meritocratic academic hiring system.

Published: March 2019

Gravity method is a passive geophysical method that provides information on the distribution of rock density below the surface. The gravity method has a weakness at the level of ambiguity in determining the depth of the anomaly. This study aims to determine the depth of the anomaly using Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) analysis to overcome the value of ambiguity, so that the results obtained have a high degree of accuracy. The research method is data survey / acquisition and data analysis. This research was conducted in Karangsambung Kebumen, Central Java with the acquisition of gravitational data as many as 56 measurement points. The results of data acquisition then analyzed included reading to mGal, tool height correction, drift, tides, latitude, free air correction, Bouguer correction, and field correction. The results of this correction obtained Complete Bouguer Anomalies (ABL) values which were then reduced to flat fields and regional-residual anomaly filters. The next step is CWT analysis by making incisions on residual anomaly maps. The results showed that the source of the anomaly was between ± 39.2 - 122.9 meters.

Authors: Rennert-May Elissa , Conly John M , Dersch-Mills Deonne , Kassam Aliya , LeMay Mireille , Vayalumkal Joseph , Constantinescu Cora
Published: March 2019

Background: Antimicrobial stewardship (AS) programs are becoming a critical part of infectious diseases (ID) and medical microbiology training programs. As post-graduate medical education shifts toward competency-based medical education (CBME), the curriculum for AS training requires a similar transition. Our objective was to develop an educational curriculum combining principles of AS and CBME and apply a prospective audit and feedback (PAF) as an educational strategy. Methods: A new competency-based educational curriculum (CBEC) was created which addressed multiple stages along the competence continuum. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) core elements for AS were used to generate Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) and milestones for this CBEC. Results: Trainees completed a PAF as an AS educational strategy on all antimicrobial starts in a pediatric hospital (141 beds) over a 1-month rotation. The PAF created 26 audits and addressed all (100%) of the CDC’s core elements for inpatient AS programs through seven EPAs and 20 milestones. Conclusions: The PAF allowed for 26 interventions to improve effective antimicrobial use and mapped to multiple EPAs and milestones. Additionally, the PAF utilized all of the CDC’s core elements for inpatient AS programs. It is imperative to ensure that educational strategies expose residents to AS interventions that have been shown to decrease antimicrobial usage in various settings. The current manuscript may serve as a model for how a CBEC can be developed, and how AS interventions can be integrated into a CBME program.

O ATIVISMO JURÍDICO TRANSNACIONAL: conceitos e abordagem teórica
Authors: Barrozo Rebecca Paradellas , Maia Marrielle
Published: March 2019

O ativismo jurídico transnacional é o engajamento em cortes internacionais ou instituições quase judiciais, para fortalecer as demandas dos movimentos sociais, constranger os Estados a cumprirem as normas de direitos humanos e promover mudanças legais e políticas dentro dos países (SANTOS, 2007). O sistema interamericano de direitos humanos (SIDH) permite essa atuação por meio do sistema de denúncias na Comissão Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. O presente artigo objetiva fazer um levantamento teórico do conceito, alcance, limitações e principais características do ativismo jurídico transnacional em direitos humanos. Além da abordagem puramente teórica, fez-se um paralelo entre os elementos conceituais do ativismo jurídico transnacional e a atuação de ONGs no sistema de denúncias do SIDH.

The anthropology of austerity
Authors: Powers Theodore , Rakopoulos Theodoros
Published: March 2019

This introduction posits that austerity is an instantiation of structural adjustment programs (SAPs) and thus must be revisited in two ways, involving its historical and geographical rendering. First, anthropological accounts should think of austerity in the long term, providing encompassing genealogies of the concept rather than seeing it as breach to historical continuity. Second, the discipline should employ the comparative approach to bring together analyses of SAPs in the Global South and austerity measures in the Global North, providing a more comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon. We are interested in what austerity does to people’s temporal consciousness, and what such people do toward a policy process that impacts their lives. We find, in this comparative pursuit, instead of Foucauldian internalization, dissent and dissatisfaction.
Afterword
Authors: Rakopoulos Theodoros
Published: March 2019

Instead of taking for granted that austerity is unidirectionally associated with Europe, the anthropology of austerity should be paying attention to the situatedness of its effects. The levering potential that a comparative analysis of austerity allows is precious, for it opens new critical perspectives on our understanding of temporal and geographical consciousness. An antipode of perspective invites a more historical analysis of a phenomenon that unsettles the conceived understandings of Europe’s position.

To the Discussion on Academic Philosophy: What, How, and What for
Authors: Guseva Elena A. , Panfilova Marina I.
Published: March 2019

The article discusses how to implement common cultural competencies in the course of teaching philosophy. The authors believe that the optimal content of the course is the history of philosophy, which, when being creatively taught, can become a school of critical thinking and education and give direction to those who are trying to consciously shape their world view and educate their mind. The historical-philosophical approach organically incorporates the problematic one, makes it possible to discuss current issues of the day, based on classical examples of the philosophical culture. Some techniques for the development of cognitive skills that correspond to the strategies of liberal education are considered. The authors draw attention to the benefits of the work of a student with a philosophical text, the need for the development of written and oral speech, organically associated with the development of thinking. In the conditions of increasing bureaucratic regulation of the educational process and limited time, it is important to preserve the space of academic freedom, to build teaching taking into account the individual-personal contact with this or that audience. University philosophy is regarded as a valuable experience in overcoming the limitations of everyday consciousness, it seems to be a source of ideas that provides support in a situation of epistemological uncertainty and value relativism. The article covers both philosophical and theoretical, and applied aspects of the problem of teaching philosophy in higher education institution.
Higher School: Look Beyond the Horizon

Published: March 2019

The authors concentrate their attention on the problem of the future of Russian education in connection with the changes in the classifier of professions. The paper analyzes the prospects for Russian higher education in personnel training in the context of growing technological innovations. In this regard, attention is drawn to two aspects. The first aspect covers the question of how sensitive Russian higher school is to the existing and future changes in the requirements of the employer and the labor market, and in general to the training of graduates. The second aspect is an attempt to connect the impending deformations, social and humanitarian, of professional reproduction with the mission of higher education. The key question reads as follows: can a university change its mission towards solving the social task of overcoming the crisis of “unemployed young people” that is looming along with the growth of technological innovations and the robotization of labor?

Elaboration of modern domestic structural materials with increased corrosion resistance in contact with advanced heatcarriers of future reactor plants is an important problem at development of innovation projects of nuclear power engineering. Heatexchanging tubes are the critical components, which influence on the safety and reliability of steam generators operation. Corrosion properties of non-stabilized nitrogen-containing corrosion resistant steels of austenite class after cold deformation, thermal treatment and long-term thermal aging studied. It was shown, that silicon introducing into chrome-nickel steel, alloyed by nitrogen and molybdenum, results in increasing of its resistance against local kinds of corrosion and equated it on resistance against intercrystallite and pitting corrosion with particularly low-carbon steels and alloys. But the experimental 03Х18Н13С2АМ2ВФБР-Ш low carbon micro-alloyed steel, proposed for operation at a heat-carrier temperature of 450–500 о С, in the first version had a tendency to a decrease of resistance against local corrosion and impact resistance after long-term thermal aging at temperatures of 360 о С and higher. At present specifying of technological parameters of production and balanced alloying element content takes place, which prevents heat exchanging tubes properties degradation. Steel 03Х17Н13С2АМ2 which has higher resistance against local corrosion and strength comparing with 316LN and 08Х18Н10Т grades, can be taken as a candidate material for production of heat-exchanging tubes of steam generators of nuclear power stations having power reactors of water-water type. The new 03Х17Н9АС2 steel, resistant against inter-crystallite corrosion in high-oxidizing media, was proposed for tests of its operation under conditions of contact with lead heat-carriers instead of 10Х15Н9С3Б1-Ш (ЭП 302-Ш) steel.

Interdigitated back-contact (IBC) architectures are the best performing technology in crystalline Si (c-Si) photovoltaics (PV). Although single junction perovskite solar cells have now surpassed 23% efficiency, most of the research has mainly focussed on planar and mesostructured architectures. The number of studies involving IBC devices is still limited and the proposed architectures are unfeasible for large scale manufacturing. Here we discuss the importance of IBC solar cells as a powerful tool for investigating the fundamental working mechanisms of perovskite materials. We show a detailed fabrication protocol for IBC perovskite devices that does not involve photolithography and metal evaporation. The interview is available at https://youtu.be/nvuNC29TvOY.
MATÉRIA" E "FORMA" DE ARISTÓTELES E MISOGINIA: DISSEMINAÇÃO NA LITERATURA MEDIEVAL
Authors: Fonseca Pedro Carlos Louzada
Published: March 2019

Este artigo examina ideias e postulados aristotélicos fundamentaisna formação da tradição misógina na cultura e na literatura europeias.Essencial para a ordem ideológica e política da misoginia ocidental foram ospronunciamentos filosóficos e pretensamente científicos de Aristóteles acercada superioridade gerativa do macho sobre a fêmea, do homem sobre amulher. A equação aristotélica matéria-forma para designar,correspondentemente, a realidade feminina e a masculina tornou-se um dosprimeiros princípios para reger a superioridade racional do homem sobre amulher. Esse verdadeiro axioma do Mundo Antigo veio a satisfazer opensamento religioso patriarcal de grandes teólogos e pensadores da Igrejamedieval. É nessa perspectiva que este estudo examina a disseminação dofisiologismo aristotélico no pensamento filosófico e religioso de Santo Isidorode Sevilha, Santo Anselmo e São Tomás de Aquino, tendo como parâmetro deanálise a sua orientação misógina.

A proposta desta reflexão ensaística é analisar a obra OsSertões, de Euclides da Cunha a partir de uma perspectiva sociológica,em busca de inferências sobre as formas de pensar a identidade, a raçae a terra, no autor e no pensamento sociológico brasileiro. Para isso,busca-se as dicotomias literárias que funcionam como convergência doEuclides literato, escritor, jornalista, cientista e político, revelando seupróprio conflito interno, surgido do choque entre experiênciatestemunhal na Guerra de Canudos e as exigências culturais de umaabordagem positivista sobre a realidade. A reflexão se pauta ainda numcomparativo com o conto Ninho de Passarinhos, do escritorregionalista goiano Hugo de Carvalo Ramos e com o posicionamentosociológico de Darcy Ribeiro e Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda.
DEMOGRAPHIC AND ETIOLOGIC INVESTIGATION OF GOUT ARTHRITIS CASES IN THE KARS REGION, A COMPARATIVE RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Authors: Allahverdi Ertuğrul
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Gout arthritis is a very common rheumatic disorder. The hyperuricemia develops due to increased serum uric acid synthesis and/or decreased renal excretion.

Material and Method: This study was conducted after permission was obtained from the Kafkas University Ethics Committee (KAU-26-06-2018-09). We included patients who presented to the Kars Harakani State Hospital and the Kafkas University Faculty of Medicine Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient department between May 2012 and December 2018 and were diagnosed with gout arthritis into the study. The patients were divided into two groups as Group I (n:87) consisting of patients  who received Allopurinol (Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor) at a dose of 100 mg 1x1 po for 4 weeks together with a purine-poor diet (provided as a list) and Group II (n:77) consisting of  patients recommended abundant water consumption (2 lt/day), decreased tea consumption, increased milk and dairy products consumption and a purine-poor diet (given as a list) without the administration of any drugs. Both groups were called 4 weeks later for clinical follow-up and they underwent a physical examination and laboratory evaluations at the outpatient department. Treatment protocols were evaluated comparatively according to the uric acid levels and physical examination findings.

RESULTS: Group I received a xanthine oxidase inhibitor + purine-poor diet and consisted of 5 female and 19 male patients aged 18-60 years and 17 female and 46 male patients aged 60 and over. Group II received optimal Hydration + milk and dairy products + purine-poor diet and consisted of 24 females and 53 males aged 60 and over without any patients in the 18-60 years age group. Pretreatment uric acid levels and posttreatment 4th week uric acid levels were compared.

CONCLUSION: In addition to gout arthritis treatment with drugs, it is possible to treat these patients without giving any drugs by increasing the consumption of milk and dairy products together with optimal hydration.

Key Words: Gout arthritis, Xanthine oxidase inhibitor, optimal hydration, Milk
