Cranial kinesis in the miniaturised lizardAblepharus kitaibelii(Squamata: Scincidae)
Authors: Handschuh Stephan , Natchev Nikolay , Kummer Stefan , Beisser Christian J. , Lemell Patrick , Herrel Anthony , Vergilov Vladislav
Published: April 2019

Cranial kinesis refers to intracranial movements in the vertebrate skull that do not concern the jaw joint, the middle ear, or the hypobranchial skeleton. Different kinds of cranial kinesis have been reported for lizards, including mesokinesis, metakinesis, amphikinesis (simultaneous meso- and metakinesis), and streptostyly. Streptostyly is considered relatively widespread within lizards, while mesokinesis has been documented only for geckos, varanids, and anguids. The present study investigates cranial kinesis in the miniaturised scincid Ablepharus kitaibelii by integrating morphological and experimental data. Based on microCT, we provide a description of skull osteology. Cranial joints were studied with histology, which results in the first detailed description of cranial joint histology for a member of the Scincidae. Taken together, morphological data indicates a high potential for amphikinesis and streptostyly, which was also corroborated by skull manipulations. High-speed cinematography demonstrated that mesokinesis occurs during food uptake, processing, and intraoral transport cycles. Bite force measurements showed prolonged and reasonably hard biting even at large gape. Based on this data we formulate a model of the amphikinetic Ablepharus skull mechanism, which provides an extension of Frazzetta's quadric-crank model by placing a special emphasis on metakinesis. According to this model, we hypothesize that metakinetic intracranial movements may provide a means for reducing strain in jaw adductor muscles. Presented hypotheses can be addressed and tested in future studies.
Antecedentes do perfil do empreendedor brasileiro de pequenas e médias empresas de aglomerados industriais: estudo do fator autoconfiança
Authors: Silveira Pérez Yahilina , Martins Ricardo Silveira
Published: April 2019

Estudos contemporâneos tratam de identificar o comportamento e a formação do perfil empreendedor como promotor de diversos processos econômicos, sociais e culturais. Embora a autoconfiança do empreendedor seja, sem dúvida, uma das características distintivas deste perfil, é, porém, pouco discutida na literatura sobre o tema. Neste sentido, a pesquisa investiga os elementos da variável autoconfiança e sua influência sobre outras variáveis do perfil empreendedor (inovação, gestão de riscos, tomada de decisões, criação de empresas). A metodologia é desenvolvida a partir de um questionário estruturado que incluiu perguntas, para respostas com escala ordinal, aplicado a empresários do setor moveleiro de Ubá no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Os resultados mostraram que a autoconfiança associa-se mais a falar de oportunidades e não de problemas.

Marketing social no Brasil: História, desafios e uma agenda para o futuro
Authors: Mazzon José Afonso , Carvalho Hamilton Coimbra
Published: April 2019

Várias décadas após o seu nascimento, o marketing social nunca se tornou uma ferramenta dominante no repertório de agentes sociais que criam programas de mudança de comportamento no Brasil. Os equívocos sobre o marketing e os preconceitos contra o seu uso em programas sociais impedem o desenvolvimento da disciplina e a sua plena consideração por agentes sociais de topo. O artigo descreve uma mostra de estudos académicos e programas-chave que marcaram a primeira fase do marketing social no país. Entre eles, três merecem atenção especial: o Programa de Alimentação do Trabalhador, a luta contra o HIV e os programas de vacinação «Zé Gotinha». O artigo também apresenta uma discussão sobre barreiras e oportunidades para o marketing social no Brasil, incluindo uma agenda de três pontos para acelerar sua difusão.

Advanced prehospital stroke triage in the era of mechanical thrombectomy
Authors: Morrison Luke
Published: April 2019

Direct transport to a comprehensive stroke centre that is capable of endovascular thrombectomy may improve outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusive stroke. A number of prehospital triage tools have been developed to see if clinicians can predict which patients would benefit from this procedure, allowing them to bypass a primary stroke centre in preference for a comprehensive stroke centre. A literature search was performed across a number of medical databases; six triage tools were selected for analysis based on their reported accuracy and prevalence in clinical trials. Additionally, a number of articles were isolated for the analysis of changing systems of care for patients who had had a stroke. This narrative review integrates how these variously accurate triage tools could benefit patients and outlines why changes to the system of care for stroke patients require a ground-upwards, local approach. The accuracy of the triage tools analysed varied, with some lacking specificity and others sensitivity. Triage tools are evolving, and simplistic tools offer comparable accuracy when contrasted with comprehensive alternatives, which require a significantly increased level of assessment skill and time demand. While there is evidence in support of prehospital bypass protocols, this evidence is poorly generalisable owing to a number of variables, with geographical layout being a significant compounding factor.

Nusantara Bioscience 11: 79-83. Rhizobacteria are living in area of plant roots, some of them are potential as biofertilizers and biopesticides agents. This study aims to evaluate the potential of 10 isolates indigenous rhizobacteria as biofertilizer and biopesticide against banded leaf and sheath blight disease on corn. The potential of biofertilizer was evaluated by ability fixing nitrogen in Burk’s N free medium, dissolving phosphate and producing Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) hormone with spectrophotometry method. The potential of biopesticide was evaluated by synergistic of analysis with double culture method. The result of study showed that the best indigenous rhizobacteria was isolated code 10. It has potential as a biofertilizer agent (0.22% for fixing nitrogen, 18.875 ppm for dissolving phosphate and producing IAA hormone 1.524 ppm). It is also having potential as biopesticide agent against Rhizoctonia solani with relative inhibition level (RIL) of 31.3%. Isolate code 10 and code 6 are able to live in synergy so that it can be recommended as biofertilizer and biopesticide agent to form the consortium as a biological fertilizer.

Published: April 2019

The present study focuses on the optimization of the parameters to extract phenolic products by decoction and the quantification of these compounds from grape pomace, using a central experimental design. The antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from grape skin grown in Morocco was evaluated. The grapes variety is “Michael Paleiri”, it is a black variety with pips, and they are from the region of Benslimane. The total phenolic compounds contents were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The optimization suggested that extraction with methanol for 29 min, at 60°C were the best solutions for this combination of variables.The largest amount obtained was 1042.06 mg EGA/g DW. The antioxidant activity is carried out by the radical scavenging method 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH°) and the ferric iron reduction capacity (FRAP). The DDPH inhibition capacity reached 20.78%, compared with 15.22% of a BHT solution at 0.001 g/L. A significant relationship between antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content is evident (R2=0.994). These results demonstrate that methanol extracts from the waste from grapes grown in Morocco could be used as potential sources of natural extracts rich in phenolic compounds and endowed with significant antioxidant activity.

Authors: Ouakki Moussa , El Fazazi Asmae , Cherkaoui Mohammed
Published: April 2019

Zn coating electrodeposited on a mild steel substrate in an acid bath was investigated using cyclic voltammetric and chronopotentiometry techniques. The effect of the current density on the deposition potential, the thickness of the deposit, deposition rate and current efficiency was investigated. The chemical composition and surface morphology of Zn coatings are characterized using Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) spectrometer and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. SEM observations indicated that the morphology of the film surface was modified from dense and uniaxial to disperse and dendritic with increasing the current density. The EDX analyses revealed the presence of Zn and O in the deposit.

Photocatalytic activity of (50-x/2)Na2O-xTiO2–(50-x/)P2O5 glasses (0 ≤ x ≤ 10 mol%) has been studied with an increase in the TiO2 content using UV-Visible spectrophotometry. Thermal properties were carried out from DTA measurement, and the variation of glass structure was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR). The first addition of the TiO2 up to 3 mol% entrained depolymerization of the phosphate skeleton (PO3) chains in the binary 50Na2O–50P2O5 glass, resulting in poor cross-linking, which in turn the glass network becomes less rigid and the glass transition temperature (Tg) was decreased. Beyond this value, FT-IR reveals the formation of P–O–Ti bonds, which increases the cross-link density in the glass network and therefore increases Tg of the glasses. The photocatalytic activity results showed that these glasses ensure the discoloration of Rhodamine B by a removal efficiency of about 94% after 4h of irradiation.
Interdisciplinary cooperation between dentists and endocrinologists for identification and management of diabetes mellitus
Authors: Maslak Elena E. , Naumova Victoria N.
Published: April 2019

Background: DM mellitus (DM) leads to worsening periodontal diseases, and in turn the inflammatory diseases of maxillofacial region adversely affect the glycemic control and exacerbate the severity of DM, thereby engendering a vicious cycle that compromises the DM management in patients. Taking account of the bidirectional relationship between DM and periodontal disease, interdisciplinary examination of patients with both DM and periodontal diseases is warranted to improve the health outcomes in patients.
Aims: This study aims to evaluate the perceptions of dentists and endocrinologists on the interdisciplinary cooperation for identification and management of patients with DM.
Materials and methods: Studying patients knowledge about DM and their compliance in providing endocrinological recommendations, dental screening survey to identify DM risk and signs The research was done in 2015-2016 years using clinical survey (dental status survey), statistical analysis. 432 patients from different dental organizations and 433 doctors (371 dentists and 62 endocrinologists) took part in the research. The research was approved by Regional research ethics committee. The written informed consent was taken from each participant.
Results: There was insufficient interdisciplinary collaboration for identification and management of patients with diabetes, and lack of motivation among dental patients to endocrinological survey. Hence, it is important to incorporate definitive screening for risk of DM for patients with inflammatory periodontal disease and include dentists in consultation for patients with DM. The feasibility of statutory determination of collaboration between specialists in identification and management of patients with DM was found, dental lectures are necessary in DM school.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest the necessity of including dentists in the standard of medical management of patients with DM and incorporating DM screening by a questionnaire upon dental examination.

Published: April 2019

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant independent risk factor for ischaemic stroke. Carotid revascularisation procedures are an effective method of primary and secondary stroke prevention. However, patients developed postoperative acute ischaemic lesions (AILs), which were identified via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brains. Most of the patients with these AILs lack clinically overt symptoms.
Aims: To assess the risk of ischaemic brain damage in patients with T2DM in the setting of carotid angioplasty with stenting (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CAE).
Materials and methods: This open prospective study comprised of 164 patients with carotid atherosclerosis, who have undergone either CAS or CAE. Patients with T2DM were included in Group 1: 38 patients and 28 patients with CAE. Group 2 included patients without T2DM: 62 patients with CAS and 36 patients with CAE. All patients underwent a thorough neurological examination and diffusion-weighted brain MRI. In patients with T2DM, plasma glucose levels and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) were determined and their relationships to brain damage were evaluated.
Results: In CAS, there were no statistically significant differences in the AIL frequency in patients with and without T2DM. AILs were found in 15 patients with T2DM (39.8%) and 29 patients without T2DM (46.8%, р = 0.24); three patients without T2DM were diagnosed with stroke. Of the 28 patients with T2DM who underwent CAE, 13 had AIL (46.4%); three had stroke (10.7%). In patients without T2DM, AILs were less prevalent in seven cases (19.4%, р = 0.012) and appeared asymptomatic. Following CAS, the baseline HbA1c levels were higher in patients with T2DM who developed AILs compared to those who did not develop AIL, 7.8% 1.4% vs 7.1 1.1% (р = 0.0469). Negative impact of hyperglycaemia on the risk of cerebral ischaemia was observed in patients who underwent CAE, the baseline fasting plasma glucose level was 8.5 1.9 mmol/l vs 7.0 1.5 mmol/l in patients without AIL (р = 0.014). The baseline HbA1c levels in patients with and without AILs were 8.0% 1.7% and 6.9% 0.9% respectively (р = 0.023).
Conclusions: Carotid revascularisation procedure for patients with carotid atherosclerosis may be associated with risk of stroke and asymptomatic acute cerebral ischaemic lesions, which are more prevalent in patients with T2DM. Also, increased HbA1c levels is a risk factor for AIL.
The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Russian Federation
Authors: Petrushkina Alexandra A. , Pigarova Ekaterina A. , Rozhinskaya Liudmila Y.
Published: April 2019

In this review, we discuss the main reasons for the vitamin D insufficiency in Russian Federation, as well as data on the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among various population groups and regions, which confirm the widespread prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the country. The discussed data suggest that the current vitamin D insufficiency in Russian population (reduced levels of 25(OH)D occurs in 50 - 94% of general population) is due to both a low level of its endogenous synthesis and insufficient intake from food : the territory of the country is located in a zone of low insolation, and at the same time, the main natural sources of vitamin D (sea fish of fatty varieties) and fortified with vitamin D products are very limited in the diet of the population. Taking measures to improve the status of vitamin D and maintaining the optimal serum levels of 25(OH)D in children and adults, adequate vitamin D intake will improve the condition of the musculoskeletal system, as well as reduce the risk of development and improve the control of some chronic diseases.
Sclerostin antibodies as novel anabolic therapy for osteoporosis
Authors: Mamedova Elizaveta O. , Grebennikova Tatiana A. , Belaya Zhanna E. , Rozhinskaya Liudmila Y.
Published: April 2019

Osteoporosis medications are divided into two groups: those inhibiting bone resorption and formation (bisphosphonates and denosumab), and those stimulating bone formation i.e. having an anabolic effect. The latter include teriparatide, parathyroid hormone 1-84 and abaloparatide, all of which stimulate bone resorption as well as bone formation, which limits their anabolic effect.
The discovery of sclerostin – the key inhibitor of bone formation – has led to development of the concept that inhibition of this protein could stimulate bone formation. Romosozumab is a human monoclonal antibody to sclerostin that binds to sclerostin and enables Wnt-signaling pathway ligands and their co-receptors to interact with each other, which, in turn, leads to increased bone formation and bone mineral density. Unlike classical anabolic drugs in osteoporosis treatment, romosozumab stimulates bone formation and inhibits bone resorption. In clinical trials, romosozumab showed marked increase in lumbar spine and hip bone mineral density. Presented article contains information about pre-clinical and clinical studies of romosozumab.
Wielopoziomowe relacje między literaturą religijną Tatarów Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego a przekładami Biblii na języki narodowe
Authors: Kulwicka-Kamińska Joanna
Published: April 2019

The article presents the genesis and the features of the Renaissance religious writings of the Tatars of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the context of the translations of the Bible into national languages. An analysis was performed on a Tatar tefsir, which – according to the most recent research – is a translation of the Qur’an into a European language – the third translation of this kind in the world. Due to the fact that in the 16th century a Polish and even a European Qur’anic translational tradition did not exist, this translation makes reference to the Biblical-psalter literature of the Middle Ages and to the translations of the Scripture of the Reformation, inter alia as far as the selection of the methods and the ways of translation or the adoption of specific translational solutions is concerned. Thus the translation belongs to the translational tradition of sacred books and to the most important trends of Polish and European culture. In this context, a medieval tradition (a continuation of the achievements of translation studies of the 15th c.) and the innovation of the Renaissance overlap. There is an analogy with the 16th-century Biblical printed texts, which also represent a transitional stage – they make reference to a medieval tradition and they also take advantage of the benefits of humanist Biblical studies.

Forma kanoniczna zawierania małżeństwa – spojrzenie historyczne i postulat reformy
Authors: Dohnalik Jan
Published: April 2019

Kanoniczna forma zawarcia małżeństwa, wymagana do jego ważności, została wprowadzona przez dekret Tametsi Soboru Trydenckiego (1563). Z uwagi na fakt, że ta ważna norma prawa kanonicznego nigdy nie obowiązywała w całym Kościele, na początku XX wieku miała miejsce dyskusja odnośnie do nowych rozwiązań. To nowe prawo, zwane Ne temere, zostało ogłoszone w 1907 roku na polecenie papieża Piusa X, jako dekret Kongregacji Soboru. Chociaż było to prawo całościowe i dobrze przemyślane, podczas Soboru Watykańskiego II i późniejszej rewizji Kodeksu prawa kanonicznego były zaproponowane liczne projekty zmian. Ostatecznie obowiązujące prawo zasadniczo utrzymało zasadę kompetencji terytorialnej asystującego duchownego. Obecnie ma miejsce dyskusja w literaturze kanonistycznej odnośnie do potrzeby zreformowania kanonicznej formy małżeństwa. W tym kontekście po przeanalizowaniu dwudziestowiecznych dyskusji autor wspiera jedno z zaproponowanych rozwiązań. Podczas gdy utrzymuje się wymóg formy kanonicznej do ważności małżeństwa, należałoby wprowadzić możliwość zawierania małżeństwa przed jakimkolwiek wyświęconym kapłanem. To rozwiązanie byłoby zrozumiałe dla wiernych i gwarantowałoby sakramentalny charakter małżeństwa. Propozycja współgra z innymi normami prawnymi dotyczącymi sakramentów, łącznie z chrztem. Wreszcie postulowana reforma pomogłaby uniknąć nieważnych małżeństw spowodowanych zaniedbaniem lub niewiedzą duchownych.

Konkordat między Stolicą Apostolską a Rzecząpospolitą Polską z 1993 roku zawiera preambułę. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, czy w konkretnym przypadku polskiego konkordatu ogólna zasada, zgodnie z którą preambuła pomaga w interpretacji, się sprawdza. W celu omówienia tego zagadnienia przeanalizowano kilka kwestii, które odnoszą się głównie do treści preambuły. Wniosek jest niejednoznaczny. Preambuła, o której mowa, może być pomocna w wyjaśnieniu znaczenia postanowień podstawowej części konkordatu. Jednakże ze względu na braki redakcyjne lub niejasne sformułowania w preambule może ona utrudnić proces interpretacji.
Zeznania świadków a pewność moralna sędziego w sprawach o nieważność małżeństwa
Authors: Pisz Łukasz
Published: April 2019

Sędzia wydaje wyrok w procesie kanonicznym po uzyskaniu przez siebie tzw. moralis certitudo (pewność moralna). Jednym z elementów służącym sędziemu w uzyskaniu pewności moralnej są zbierane w toku procesowym materiały dowodowe, wśród których są m.in. zeznania świadków. Świadkowie są powoływani na podstawie wydanego przez sędziego prowadzącego dekretu powołującego. Przesłuchanie świadków odbywa się na podstawie przygotowanych pytań w celu uzyskania odpowiednich informacji dotyczących sprawy. Istotnym zagadnieniem wpływającym na uzyskanie przez sędziego pewności moralnej są odpowiedzi świadka na poszczególne pytania jak i forma udzielania odpowiedzi na te pytania, które mogą wiele wnieść do sprawy. Współczesna psychologia dysponuje narzędziami pozwalającymi na pewną weryfikację prawdomówności i szczerości składanych przez świadków zeznań. Dlatego . Jednak ostateczna ocena całego materiału dowodowego należy do sędziego prowadzącego oraz całego kolegium sędziowskiego wydającego wyrok w tej sprawie. Trudność w dojściu do pewności moralnej przez sędziego może polegać na tym iż sędzia pewność moralną osiągnie, lecz poprzez świadome wprowadzenie w błąd przez świadka może spowodować, że sędzia nie dojdzie do poznania prawdy obiektywnej.
Rady ewangeliczne w życiu dziewicy konsekrowanej

Published: April 2019

W artykule poruszono zagadnienie dziewic konsekrowanych jako indywidualnej formy życia konsekrowanego. Na samym początku poruszono kwestię określenia osób konsekrowanych i profesji rad ewangelicznych jako cechy ich charakteryzującej. Następnie uwaga została skoncentrowana na specyfice dziewic konsekrowanych, które składają tylko jeden ślub – ślub czystości. Najpierw zostały podane pewne uwagi dotyczące tego ślubu. W dalszej kolejności była mowa o dwóch radach ewangelicznych: ubóstwie i posłuszeństwie realizowanych w konkretach Kościoła diecezjalnego. Ubóstwo zostało powiązane z dobrami Kościoła i piątym przykazaniem kościelnym, natomiast posłuszeństwo, które odnosi się do Chrystusa, zostało powiązane z hierarchicznym ustrojem Kościoła oraz przykazaniem miłości i było rozpatrywane jako posłuszeństwo słowu Bożemu i przełożonym w Kościele. Na samym końcu zostało poruszone zagadnienie wolności i dobrowolności w stosowaniu rad ewangelicznych.

The Role of Urban Pattern Indicators in Achieving Sustainable Urban Forms in the Developed Countries - A Pragmatic Evaluation of Two Sustainable Urban Contexts
Authors: Ibrahim Dr. Rebwar , Mushatat Prof. Sabah , Abdelmonem Prof. Mohammed
Published: April 2019

Since cities are constantly changing, their new forms and activities are developed according to their patterns and physical arrangements.   Sustainable urban forms are currently a widely discussed topic in the concept of urban sustainability. The physical forms of cities can be conceptualised as two interlocking planes. The first comprises the spatial distribution of activities and buildings. The second is made up of the pattern of streets, parks and the public realm. Sustainable integration between these layers leads to a compatibly built environment. This paper intends to formulate sustainable urban form indicators as a conceptual framework model that provides a comprehensive understanding of how sustainability can be evaluated and measured according to the pattern of any built environment. This framework consists of eight indicators: Accessibility, Connectivity, Compatibility, Diversity, Nodality, Density, Identity, and Adaptability. Accordingly, two of the most significant sustainable urban districts have been chosen for field study. The first is the Hammarby residential district in Stockholm, Sweden and the second is the Vauban residential district in Freiburg, Germany. The research concludes that good performance of urban pattern indicators in these developed communities may motivate, inform and improve design strategies for achieving a more sustainable urban context.

Bridging Body and Mind: Case Series of a 10-Week Trauma-Informed Yoga Protocol for Veterans
Authors: Justice Lauren , Brems Christiane
Published: April 2019

This case series explored the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of therapeutic yoga as a complementary form of treatment for combat-related trauma. The series recruited for and implemented a 10-week Trauma-Informed Yoga protocol for veterans in an interprofessional community health treatment setting. Participants were enrolled in a series of 90-minute therapeutic yoga classes adapted to be trauma-informed. Feasibility was measured by recruitment, retention, and level of participation in the study. Preliminary efficacy was explored via the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist, Scale of Body Connection, PROMIS-29, PROMIS Alcohol Use, PROMIS Substance Use, Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale, and Self-Compassion Scale–Short Form. All measures were administered at baseline, week 5, week 10, and at a 5-week follow-up. A qualitative Feasibility Questionnaire was administered weekly and at the 5-week follow-up to assess barriers and motivators for home practice and to collect feedback about session content. Recruitment challenges resulted in only seven interested individuals. Four participants (three males, one female) were successfully enrolled in the study after seven phone screenings and five in-person interviews. The four enrolled clients had a 100% follow-up retention rate, reported no adverse events, and on average participated in 85% of classes. Clinically significant enhancements were observed on trauma- and body connection–related scales for three participants from baseline to follow-up. Qualitative data revealed that motivators to practice include in-session philosophical discussions based on psychological themes; breathwork; mindfulness; and physical, social, work/academic, and mental health impact. Barriers included motivation, time, and location. Important themes emerged related to cultural considerations for veterans. Although this 10-week trauma-informed protocol faced challenges to recruitment, retention and participation were high. Efficacy measures yielded promising results for reducing trauma-related symptoms.

Aim. To study the correlation between the body fat mass (BFM) and the structural-functional characteristics of right ventricle (RV) in patients with different body mass, suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Materials and methods. Echocardiography, ultrasound determination of subcutaneous and premesenterial layer thickness, assessment of leptin level was performed in 72 COPD patients, who were divided into three groups: group 1 – patients with normal body mass (n = 31), group 2 – patients with excess weight (n = 21), group 3 – patients with class I-II obesity (n= 20).

Results. Among COPD patients, body mass index (BMI) growth causes increase in BFM and subcutaneous and premesenterial fat thickness, elevation in blood serum leptin level, but decrease in lean body mass (LBM). The global longitudinal systolic strain of the free wall of RV in COPD patients with obesity (–17.39 ± 3.64, p = 0.002) and elevated body mass (–17.96 ± 5.69, p = 0.006) is reduced.

Conclusions. Among COPD patients with different body mass, the global longitudinal systolic strain of RV free wall aggravates as leptin level and body fat mass grow that can be the reflection of mechanical exposure and epicardial fat pressure on the right ventricle.
Assessment of YouTube Videos on H Index
Authors: Garg Mohit
Published: April 2019

H index is a popular measure. YouTube provides free of cost video content on different topics. Anyone can upload the videos on YouTube after setting up an account without any verification by experts. Large numbers of videos have been uploaded on YouTube which may or may not be relevant. This study is aimed at evaluating the usefulness of YouTube videos on h-index. YouTube (www.youtube.com) was searched with the search term “h index” on 18th August 2018. The search results were filtered by video type. The first 20 videos were selected for assessment, but after screening the four non-English videos were excluded. These videos have been watched and evaluated based on six aspects. The study found that no video covered all six aspects. 25% of the screened videos were found very useful, 38% of the videos were found slightly useful, 31% of the videos were found moderately useful and only 1 video was found not useful. It was also found that majority of the videos covered definition and example and very few videos discussed advantages of h-index.
Balanced Development using Ontology-Based Tantra Framework

Published: April 2019

The idea of Balanced Development is to ensure equitable distribution of necessities of life and creation of productive remunerative employment across society. Balanced development is a prerequisite for sustainable economic growth and shared prosperity. To facilitate this challenging task, we have proposed an Ontology-based Tantra Social Information Management Framework that can help set goals, design and evaluate interventions, define and monitor relevant metrics in an ongoing basis. Tantra Framework represents social information using ideas from Zachman Framework and concepts from Unified Foundational Ontology. Tantra Framework inter-operates with well-regarded models. Balanced Scorecard is used to define development objectives. Bartels’ Theory of Separations is used to identify barriers to access, consumption and profitable participation. Theory of Change process is used to arrive at right intervention. Distributed Ledgers are proposed to handle Change Management. A Social Information Management Process is proposed to keep the framework populated, complete and current. Tantra Framework can lead to broader Digital Governance Framework with strong cognizance of Social dimension. The paper explains how Tantra Framework can be used to realize Economic Development in Indian context.
Lower tourniquet cuff pressure reduces postoperative thigh pain in obese patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty
Authors: Png Wenxian , Lee Wuchean , Tan Mann Hong
Published: April 2019

Background: The use of high tourniquet pressures in obese patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty increases the risk of postoperative thromboembolic events and skin complications. Measurement of limb occlusion pressure (LOP) before surgery may lead to the use of lower tourniquet cuff pressure during surgery and thereby reduce the risk of postoperative pain and complications.

Methods: Eighty-six obese patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty were randomized to a control group (n=43) with tourniquet pressures at 300 mmHg or the LOP group (n=43) where a recommended tourniquet pressure was determined based on the patient’s limb occlusion pressure. The primary outcome measure was postoperative thigh pain; the secondary outcome measures were the quality of bloodless field, postoperative drop in haemoglobin, postoperative complications and Oxford knee scores.

Results: The tourniquet cuff pressure was significantly lower in the LOP group than in the control group (p<0.001). Patients in the LOP group showed significantly lower postoperative thigh pain scores till postoperative day 3. Our study did not show any difference in intraoperative quality of bloodless field (p<0.103), postoperative complications and Oxford knee scores (p<0.775) at six months after surgery.

Conclusions: Our results show that the use of limb occlusion pressure method results in decreased postoperative thigh pain without reducing the quality of the bloodless field. We believe that this method in tourniquet application is safe and beneficial for the subset of obese patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. 
A PNEUMATOLOGIA HERMENÊUTICA DE JÜRGEN MOLTMANN
Authors: Veliq Fabrício
Published: April 2019

Esse artigo tem o intuito de mostrar linhas gerais que indicam que a pneumatologia de Jürgen Moltmann pode ser considerada como sendo de caráter hermenêutico, ou seja, como pneumatologia que faça sentido para homens e mulheres da atualidade, em continuidade com todo o movimento da teologia hermenêutica inaugurada por Claude Geffré. Para tal, expomos a diferenciação feita pelo autor entre espiritualidade e vitalidade e mostramos a estreita relação que Moltmann estabelece entre o Espírito e a concretude da vida.

JÜRGEN MOLTMANN’S HERMENEUTICAL PNEUMATOLOGY

The Brazilian reality made urgent the task put by Kant to think critically and autonomously. There are many symptoms that we currently live under a regime of barbarism and denial of autonomy, such as the compulsive negation of reality, the empire of ideology and doxa, widespread prejudice against science, fundamentalist dogmatism, the rise neofascism and violence, the brutalization of middle classes, the colonization of minds and hearts through the perverted use of religion. The purpose of this communication is precisely to strengthen critical awareness and to appeal to the urgent need to think and act against the forms of barbarism present in society.

O texto visa a partir dos números do censo (IBGE-2010), mapear a complexidade e diversidade dos batistas no Brasil. A metodologia lança mão de dados quantitativos do IBGE e de entidades denominacionais, para ultrapassar uma leitura do senso-comum e avançar na compreensão desse campo religioso complexo. Também conta com pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os batistas em sites, livros e documentos que chamam atenção para história, doutrinas, continuidades e rupturas dos mais diferentes segmentos. Procura-se construir tipos ideais de batistas enquanto recurso metodológico para compreensão de uma realidade difusa e dinâmica dessa que é a maior denominação protestante histórica do Brasil.

THE BAPTISTS CHURCHES IN BRAZIL: CONSTRUCTION OF TYPOLOGIES

The text aims at the census numbers (IBGE-2010), mapping the complexity and diversity of Baptists in Brazil. The methodology draws on quantitative data from the IBGE and from denominational entities to overcome a common sense reading and advance in the understanding of this complex religious field. It also has bibliographical research on Baptists in websites, books and documents that call attention to history, doctrines, continuities and ruptures of the most different segments. It seeks to build ideal types of Baptists as a methodological resource for understanding a diffuse and dynamic reality of what is the largest Protestant denomination of history in Brazil.
DEUS, “A BEM, SOE”! A VIDA REVELADA NO CANTUS FIRMUS
Authors: Saldanha Marcelo Ramos , Illenseer Louis Marcelo
Published: April 2019

O presente artigo pretende analisar a música medieval, em específico a relação entre polifonia e grafia musical, a partir de conceitos próprios da fenomenologia de Michel Henry, demonstrando que o improviso possui em si um acesso não mediado à Vida no sentido que a fenomenologia da vida a define, e que a grafia, enquanto representação, se coloca historicamente como uma mediação e, até mesmo, como substituição da vida grafada. Assim, seguindo a metáfora de Dietrich Bonhoeffer nas últimas cartas do cárcere de Tegel, tal como foi retomada por Rubem Alves, propomos o cantus firmus como o elemento da música medieval que dá sustentação à vida exatamente por ser um continuum harmônico que permite o improviso, permitindo o acesso à Vida em suas múltiplas tonalidades de revelação.

GOD, “A BEM, SOE”! LIFE REVEALED IN THE CANTUS FIRMUS

This article aims to analyze the medieval music, in specific the relationship between polyphony and musical notation from own concepts of Michel Henry phenomenology, demonstrating that improvisation has in it an access unmediated to life in the sense that the phenomenology of life defines, and that the musical writing, as representation, historically places itself as a mediation and, even, as a substitution of the life written. Thus, following the metaphor of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the last letters from prison of Tegel, as taken up by Rubem Alves, we propose the cantus firmus as medieval music element that supports life precisely because it is a harmonious continuum that allows improvisation, allowing access to Life in its multiple shades of revelation.
