Authors: Sakalytė Urtė , Gurevičienė Aida , Jankauskienė Augustina
Published: August 2015

Reikšminiai žodžiai: įgimtas nefrozinis sindromas, suomiško tipo nefrozinis sindromas, steroidams atsparus nefrozinis sindromas, inksto transplantacija. Nefrozinis sindromas – reta būklė, kuriai yra būdinga tinimai, proteinurija, hipoalbuminemija ir hiperlipidemija. Du trečdalius įgimto nefrozinio sindromo atvejų lemia genetiniai sutrikimai. Suomiško tipo nefrozinis sindromas – autosominiu recesyviniu būdu paveldima liga. Šį sindromą lemia įgimti glomerulų filtracinio barjero defektai, kurie išsivysto dėl įvairių mutacijų, dažniausiai – NPHS1, rečiau – NPHS2, PLCE1, WT1 ir kt. genuose. NPHS1 geno mutacijos Fin-major (nt121delCT) ir Fin-minor (R1109X) yra susijusios su ankstyva manifestacija ir sunkia ligos eiga. Dauguma šia liga sergančių naujagimių gimsta neišnešioti, mažo svorio, jiems būdinga padidėjusi placenta, įvairios širdies ydos (širdies ar dešinio skilvelio hipertrofija, subaortinė vožtuvo sklerozė, plaučių arterijos vožtuvo sklerozė). Pirmaisiais trimis gyvenimo mėnesiais jiems pasireiškia proteinurija, hipoalbuminemija, hiperlipidemija ir tinimai. Suomiško tipo nefrozinis sindromas gali komplikuotis infekcinėmis ligomis, tromboembolija, hipotiroze, vitamino D trūkumu, anemija. Dėl didelio baltymų praradimo per inkstus pacientams reikia dažnų ar net kasdienių albumino infuzijų. Suomiško tipo nefrozinis sindromas yra atsparus gydymui gliukokortikoidais ir kitais imunosupresantais. Esant nedidelei proteinurijai, galimas konservatyvus gydymas kaptopriliu ir indometacinu. Efektyviausias gydymas – inksto transplantacija. Pacientui atliekama bilateralinė nefrektomija ir vaikas yra dializuojamas tol, kol pagerėja jo būklė ir yra pasiekiama inksto transplantacijai tinkamas 7–9 kg svoris. Šiame straipsnyje pateikiame įdomią 1 m. 7 mėn. mergaitės klinikinio atvejo analizę ir suomiško tipo įgimto nefrozinio sindromo etiologijos, epidemiologijos, klinikinių simptomų, naujausių diagnostikos ir gydymo rekomendacijų apžvalgą.
Eurocodes – overcoming the barriers to global adoption
Authors: Hicks Stephen
Published: August 2015

In 2010 the Eurocodes replaced the equivalent national structural design standards in the European Union (EU) member states. They are claimed to be the most technically advanced structural codes in the world and are intended to provide global access to designers. Many non-EU countries with historical connections to the UK are now adopting Eurocodes, though this is primarily due to previously adopted British standards being withdrawn. Unfortunately, adoption outside Europe is proving challenging as it may not be possible to source construction products complying to European product standards listed in Eurocodes. Designers outside Europe are thus faced with the dilemma of identifying what local products and structures can be deemed equivalent, and whether the magnitudes of the partial factors recommended by Eurocodes remain valid. Using steel construction as an example, this paper describes the different approaches that are being used in the Asia-Pacific region and identifies what resources are required to support the EU’s aim of increasing international trade and competitiveness.

Authors: Yordzhev Krasimir , Kostadinova Hristina
Published: August 2015

A mathematical model, describing some different weaving structures, is made in this article. The termsself-mirror and rotation-stable weaving structure are initiated here. There are used the properties and operationsin the set of the binary matrices and an equivalence relation in this set. Some combinatorial problems aboutfinding the cardinal number and the elements of the factor set according to this relation is discussed. We proposean algorithm, which solves these problems. The presentation of an arbitrary binary matrix using sequence ofnonnegative integers is discussed. It is shown that the presentation of binary matrices using ordered n-tuples ofnatural numbers makes the algorithms faster and saves a lot of memory. Implementing these ideas a computerprogram, which receives all of the examined objects, is created. In the paper we use object-oriented programmingusing the syntax and the semantic of C++ programming language. Some advantages in the use of bitwiseoperations are shown. The results we have received are used to describe the topology of the different weavingstructures.
A Derivation of Proca Equations on Cantor Sets: A Local Fractional Approach
Authors: Christianto Victor , Rahul Biruduganti
Published: August 2015

In a recent paper published at Advances in High Energy Physics (AHEP) journal, Yang Zhao et al. derived Maxwell equations on Cantor sets from the local fractional vector calculus. It can be shown that Maxwell equations on Cantor sets in a fractal bounded domain give efficiency and accuracy for describing the fractal electric and magnetic fields. Using the same approach, elsewhere Yang, Baleanu & Tenreiro Machado derived systems of Navier-Stokes equations on Cantor sets. However, so far there is no derivation of Proca equations on Cantor sets. Therefore, in this paper we present for the first time a derivation of Proca equations and GravitoElectroMagnetic (GEM) Proca-type equations on Cantor sets. Considering that Proca equations may be used to explain electromagnetic effects in superconductor, We suggest that Proca equations on Cantor sets can describe electromagnetic of fractal superconductors; besides GEM Proca-type equations on Cantor sets may be used to explain some gravitoelectromagnetic effects of superconductor for fractal media. It is hoped that this paper may stimulate further investigations and experiments in particular for fractal superconductor. It may be expected to have some impact to fractal cosmology modeling too.

Authors: Sridharan J. , Saranya P. , Srinivasan A.
Published: August 2015

An organization with two grades subjected to loss of man-power due to the policy decisions taken by the organization is considered. Three mathematical models are constructed using an univariate recruitment policy, based on shock model approach involving optional and mandatory thresholds for the loss of man-power in each grade. The system performance measures namely mean and variance of time to recruitment are obtained for all the models when (i) the loss of man-hours form a sequence of independent and identically distributed exponential random variables (ii) the inter-decision times form an order statistics according as the optional thresholds follow exponential or extended exponential and the distribution of mandatory thresholds possess SCBZ property. The analytical results are numerical illustrated and the influence of nodal parameters on the performance measures is also reported.

A Proof of the Veracity of both Goldbach and De Polignac Conjectures
Authors: Ghanouchi Jamel
Published: August 2015

The present algebraic development begins by an exposition of the data of the problem. The definition of the primal radius r > 0 is : For all positive integer x ³ 3 exists a finite number of integers called the primal radius r > 0 , for which x + r and x - r are prime numbers. The corollary is that 2x = (x + r) +(x -r) is always the sum of a finite number of primes. Also, for all positive integer x ³ 0 , exists an infinity of integers r > 0 , for which x + r and r - x are prime numbers. The conclusion is that 2x = (x + r) -(r - x) is always an infinity of differences of primes.

Nutritional Status of Fishermen Communities: Validation of Conventional Methods with Discriminant Function Analysis
Authors: Pal Baidyanath , Seal Babulal , Roy Subrata K.
Published: August 2015

Anthropological methods of assessing nutritional status of adults have been reinvestigated. Objective of the study is to detect the predictor variables that discriminate for under nutrition or Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) by two conventional methods e.g. Body Mass Index (BMI) and Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC). Discriminant function analysis was used to build valid and accurate predictive model for evaluating nutritional status. Anthropometric measurements were collected using standard techniques and used as independent variables. Recommended cut-off values of BMI and MUAC was used for evaluating nutritional status. The extent of CED (BMI < 18.5) was found 43.50% and prevalence of under-nutrition in terms of MUAC (MUAC < 23.0 cm for Male and < 22.0 cm for Female) was 21.7%. Discriminant function analysis reveals that 85.7% and 72.0% individuals were classified correctly in terms of nutritional status. Therefore, BMI is the good indicator for detecting malnutrition. Fat mass discriminates between groups.

A Discussion on Simple Support Functions
Authors: Kandekar D.N.
Published: August 2015

Prediction about each and every incident happening in our daily life is impossible. But we can predict about some incidents. Probability is most helpful tool in predicting about outcomes or conclusions of such incidents. Such incidents happened in our life, always follow some known or unknown statistical probability distribution which may consist of simple or complicated probability density function. Therefore with help of probability distributions, we get some blurred idea about the functioning of incidents happening in our life. Using some commonly used probability distributions, we obtain conclusions which are helpful in decision making. Support functions viz. simple support functions are very useful in decision making. In this paper, we quote some results and applications regarding simple support function based on probability transformations.

On the Contradictions of Relativity of Simultaneity and the Synchronism of Clocks
Authors: dos Santos Godoi Valdir Monteiro
Published: August 2015

It is shown that the Theory of Special Relativity is not a theory free of contradictions. Putting apart our ingenious idea about clocks in a point (infinitesimal clocks), it is proved there are contradictions deriving from the synchronism of clocks. Other contradictions refer to the concept of relativity of simultaneity. One of these contradictions is proved through the idea of idealized experience: a simultaneous emission of two photons. Simultaneity related to an inertial frame of reference (inertial system) considered in movement, but whose system in movement stops moving between the first and the second emissions with respect to the steadied system (stationary system), ending up the experience “beforehand”. Only one photon would have been emitted with respect to the system in movement, which would make our prior hypotheses contradictory.

Critical Factors Affecting Efficiency of Maximum Power Point Tracking in Solar Cells
Authors: Srivastava Priyank , Gupta Pankaj , Singh Amarjeet
Published: August 2015

A photovoltaic cell produces electrical energy directly from visible light. However, their efficiency is fairly low. So, the solar cell costs expensive as compared to other energy resources products. Various factors affect solar cell efficiency. This paper presents the most important factors that affecting efficiency of solar cells. These effects are cell temperature, MPPT (maximum power point tracking) and energy conversion efficiency. The changing of these factors improves solar cell efficiency for more reliable applications. There is a large energy demand due to industrial development and population growth especially in India. The main challenge in replacing conventional energy sources with newer and more environmentally friendly alternatives, such as solar and wind energy, is how to capture the maximum energy and deliver the maximum power at a minimum cost for a given load. The output power of photovoltaic cells or solar panels has nonlinear characteristics and these are also affected by temperature, light intensity and load.
Comparative Study Of Short Term Load Forecasting Using Multilayer Feed Forward Neural Network With Back Propagation Learning And Radial Basis Functional Neural Network
Authors: Tiwari Amit , Dubey Adarsh Dhar , Patel And Devesh
Published: August 2015

The term load forecast refers to the projected load requirement using systematic process of defining load in sufficient quantitative detail so that important power system expansion decisions can be made. Load forecasting is necessary for economic generation of power, economic allocation between plants (unit commitment scheduling), maintenance scheduling & for system security such as peak load shaving by power interchange with interconnected utilities. With structural changes to electricity in recent years, there is an emphasis on Short Term Load Forecasting (STLF).STLF is the essential part of power system planning & operation. Basic operating functions such as unit commitment, economic dispatch, and fuel scheduling & unit maintenance can be performed efficiently with an accurate forecast. Short term load forecasting can help to estimate load flows & to make decisions that can prevent overloading. Timely implementations of such decisions lead to improvement of network reliability & to the reduced occurrences of equipment failures & blackouts. The aim of short term load forecasting is to predict future electricity demands based, traditionally on historical data and predicted weather conditions. Short term load forecasting in its basic form is a statistical problem, where in the previous load values (time series variables) and influencing factors (casual variables) are used to determine the future loads.

RESUMO

Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar se o valor repassado pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) é suficiente para cobrir os custos das diárias da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) pediátrica em hospitais Universitários de Ensino através de uma pesquisa de campo realizada no hospital Universitáro do Triângulo Mineiro. O equilíbrio da sustentabilidade econômico-financeira do hospital depende da gestão de custos em hospitais que estão coveniados ao SUS como fonte de receita. A metodologia utilizada caracteriza-se por um estudo de caso e, para a coleta de dados, foi utilizada a técnica de observação e análise documental, evidenciando um déficit entre a receita e a despesa do centro de custo das diárias de UTI pediatria. Verificou-se, também, que os gestores hospitalares necessitam da sustentabilidade econômico-financeira das organizações hospitalares, sendo necessário, para isso, que a Tabela SUS seja reajustada para se adequar aos reais custos de uma entidade hospitalar.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PRODUCT INVOLVEMENT IN GUJARAT
Authors: Sandhe Dr. Ashutosh
Published: August 2015

The concept of product involvement is a relatively new concept. However, in recent times, lot of research has been carried out in this area. Marketers are trying to study buyer behavior based on their involvement with a product or service. In this research also, two contrasting product were selected representing two extreme levels of product involvement. A residential house which is a high involvement product and a toothpaste which is a low involvement product. Product involvement was found out for these products based on the factors determining involvement as propounded by Carmen Garcia et al. Further, correlation analysis was conducted to test the relationship between the factors determining product involvement separately for both the products and it was found that for residential house, there is a positive and significant correlation between all the factors. However, the same was not found for toothpaste. It was found that in case of toothpaste, the correlation between all the factors was low and insignificant. Thus, this differing mindset of buyers was observed which would be helpful for marketers while designing their marketing strategy for their products and services.

Colméias com padrão Langstroth, povoadas com abelhas africanizadas (Apis mellifera L.), foram introduzidas em áreas de cultivo comercial de melão amarelo (Cucumis melo L.), variedade AF-646, no Projeto de Irrigação do Baixo Acaraú, município de Marco-CE. O experimento constou de quatro tratamentos: Testemunha (sem a introdução de colméias), 2 colméias/ha, 4 colméias/ha e 6 colméias/ha. As variáveis observadas foram: Freqüência de abelhas nas flores, taxa de vingamento inicial de frutos, produção total de frutos, produção de frutos para o mercado interno, produção de frutos para exportação. O tratamento 06 colônias por hectare apresentou freqüência de abelhas melíferas nas flores, superior aos demais tratamentos. Para o vingamento inicial de frutos, os tratamentos com 6 e 4 colmeias/ha apresentaram maior número de frutos vingados, entre os quais não foi observada diferença estatística significativa(P>0,05). A produção total de frutos também foi superior nos tratamentos 6 e 4 colmeias/ha, que não apresentaram diferença estatísticas entre si. Os tratamentos com as menores produções foram 2 colmeias por hectare e sem a introdução de colmeias, que diferiram dos anteriores e entre si (P<0,05). O uso de 4 colmeias padrão Lanstroth, povoadas com colônias plenamente desenvolvidas de abelhas melíferas africanizadas (Apis mellifera L.), é suficiente para maximizar a produtividade do meloeiro  (Cucumis melo L.), para as condições em o estudo foi conduzido.

O monitoramento de resíduos de agrotóxicos em alimentos vem assumindo grande importância para o alcance à segurança alimentar dos consumidores. A Paraíba é hoje um grande consumidor de legumes, verduras e frutas no Brasil, detentora de grandes áreas de diversas monoculturas. O presente trabalho visou investigar os resíduos de agrotóxicos em alimentos comercializados no Estado da Paraíba e seus impactos negativos a saúde humana. A partir de visitas feitas em parceria com a Agência Estadual de Vigilância Sanitária (AGEVISA-PB), foram coletadas 100 amostras de 15 diferentes culturas durante os anos de 2011, 2012 e 2013 em vários supermercados da Paraíba e encaminhadas a laboratórios credenciados, onde foram investigados aproximadamente 234 diferentes ingredientes ativos de agrotóxicos em alimentos. Verificou-se que de 100 amostras de alimentos analisadas, 55 % possuem resíduos de agrotóxicos. Através da identificação dos possíveis riscos a saúde humana e ao meio ambiente, resultantes de níveis de agrotóxicos acima do permitido para o consumo humano, podem-se indicar medidas preventivas e mais sustentáveis que reduzam os possíveis impactos, como por exemplo: campanhas de orientação para os produtores, incentivo ao manejo ambientalmente correto do solo e fiscalizações mais rígidas junto aos comerciantes destes produtos.

Pesticide residues in food: environmental concerns and health requirements for paraibana population

ABSTRACT - The Monitoring of pesticide residues in food is of great importance for achieving food security of consumers. The Paraíba is now a major consumer of vegetables and fruits in Brazil, which owns large areas of several monocultures. This study aimed to investigate the pesticide residues in foods marketed in the State of Paraíba and its negative impacts on human health. From visits in partnership with the State Agency for Sanitary Surveillance (AGEVISA-PB), 100 samples of 15 different cultures were collected during the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 in various supermarkets of Paraíba and sent to accredited laboratories, where they were investigated about 234 different pesticide active ingredients in foods. It was found that 100 food samples analyzed, 55% had pesticide residues. By identifying the possible risks to human health and the environment resulting from pesticide levels above the permitted for human consumption, can be indicated more preventive and sustainable measures to reduce the possible impacts, such as: orientation campaigns producers, encouraging environmentally friendly soil management and stricter inspections along the traders of these products.

Published: August 2015

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas como mecanismo de adaptação por idosos institucionalizados. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório, desenvolvido em uma instituição de longa permanência para idosos (ILPI) no interior de Minas Gerais. Da população de 48 idosos, cinco não tiveram declínio cognitivo, segundo o Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM). Destes, três aceitaram participar da pesquisa. As falas gravadas foram transcritas. Os resultados mostraram predomínio do sexo masculino, com faixa etária de 60 a 69 anos, sendo a maioria dos entrevistados solteira e com renda de um salário mínimo. Foram observadas as seguintes categorias referentes às estratégias de enfrentamento: Participação nas atividades diárias da ILPI e Aceitação frente à ausência de atividades de lazer. A adaptação deu-se por meio da participação em atividades de rotina da ILPI, fazendo com que se sentissem úteis e aceitos no âmbito asilar.

Published: August 2015

Esta é uma pesquisa quantitativa e descritiva, tendo como objetivo traçar o perfil dos idosos encaminhados ao atendimento em Terapia Ocupacional na Residência Integrada Multiprofissional em Saúde (RIMS) do Hospital de Clínicas em Uberaba.  Os resultados evidenciaram que a grande prevalência de múltiplas patologias esteve associada à diminuição da capacidade funcional, à baixa participação social na comunidade, ao impacto das atividades de lazer rotineiras na internação e à correlação existente entre uma boa qualidade de sono e uma melhor capacidade funcional. O conhecimento e a análise desses perfis devem facilitar as estratégias de terapia ocupacional para essa população que ganha destaque e necessita de atenção especial.

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever o processo e os resultados associados com a adoção no estudo Worksite Weight Control (Controle de Peso no Local de Trabalho). Este é um estudo quantitativo  desenvolvido no Estado da Virginia nos Estados Unidos entre os anos de 2007 e 2010. Um total de 119 locais de trabalho foram identificados como potencialmente elegíveis com base em tamanho, no acesso à internet e vontade de realizar um questionário breve de saúde no local de trabalho. Setenta e três foram elegíveis, 28 (38,3%) foram inscritos, e 26 completaram os 12 meses de intervenção (35,6%). Estes locais incluíram quatro instalações médicas (14,3%), seis centros de distribuição e produção (21,4%), cinco grupos profissionais das áreas de direito, publicidade, engenharia, vendas e suporte de tecnologia da informação (17,9%), dois centros de atendimento (7,1%), quatro faculdades e universidades pequenas (14,3%), e sete agências governamentais (25,0%).  Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas taxas de adoção com base no tipo de local de trabalho. No entanto, houve tendências sugerindo que grupos profissionais e faculdades pequenas eram mais propensos a recusar a participação, sendo que as fábricas e agências governamentais eram mais aptos à participação. Os resultados sugerem que os programas foram aceitáveis para uma variedade de tipos de local de trabalho, mas programas aplicados pela internet podem não ser tão atraentes para grupos profissionais e faculdades de pequeno porte.

Authors: Faria Ferreira Alice , Souza Laís Cristina , De Ornellas Sivieri-Pereira Helena
Published: August 2015

Este artigo tem o objetivo de relatar a experiência de estágio em uma escola pública da cidade de Uberaba/MG, que teve como proposta contribuir para o autoconhecimento, identidade docente e promoção da saúde da equipe, além de promover um melhor desenvolvimento de suas atividades profissionais e melhoria no processo educacional. Foram realizados onze encontros, entre reuniões, grupos com os professores, observações e devolutiva, ao longo de um semestre. Os temas discutidos abordavam as dificuldades do trabalho docente, os outros “eus” presentes na vida dos profissionais, a dinâmica de funcionamento de uma sala de aula, as dificuldades da equipe e a possibilidade de construção e transformação do ambiente escolar e da comunidade. Foi possível trabalhar a capacidade dos vários “Eus” que uma única pessoa pode vivenciar, permitindo aos participantes falarem de si, cuidarem de si e muitas vezes enxergarem a si mesmo. Foram enfrentadas dificuldades, mas ficou clara a necessidade de continuidade do trabalho na escola.
