Structural Testing of High Value Test Articles: Integrated Risk Mitigation in Vibration Test Systems
Authors: Reilly Thomas , McIntosh Kevin , Sensor Chris , Sridharan Raman
Published: November 2019

Structural testing and model verification are necessities in the development of high-value spacecrafts and components. Testing of such items using electrodynamic shaker systems is meticulously planned to avoid any accidental damage. Similarly, the controller and amplifiers used to drive the shakers must be capable of mitigating risk by safely responding to unplanned vibration excursions during a test, as well as to issues with the test system itself, or with facility resources such as electrical power. For example, what happens if the amplifier power source fails, or the network connecting the controller to the command computer goes down? External factors such as these are unpredictable, but careful consideration during vibration test system design makes it is possible for the system to handle such events reliably and minimize risk of damage.

Recent advancements in technology have resulted in the design of a complete test system that stresses risk mitigation. The status of building power, safety interlocks, and other critical subsystems are continuously monitored by the controller. A failure on any of the critical subsystems will immediately trigger the controller to ramp down the sine sweep over a prescribed duration. The rate at which the controller reacts to an abort signal is critical. For example, if amplifier power loss is experienced during a sine sweep, the controller must be able to ramp down the drive and stop the test smoothly. Similarly, the amplifier needs stored backup power for the ramp down. These features protect the test article from any transients by preventing the shaker from abruptly stopping. This paper will investigate such safety concerns in structural testing of high value test articles, and the test system considerations associated with these concerns.

“I know not […] what I myself am”: Conceptual Integration in Susan Heyboer O’Keefe’s ”Frankenstein’s Monster” (2010)
Authors: Kowalczyk Andrzej Sławomir
Published: November 2019

The article proposes a cognitive-poetic reading of Susan Heyboer O’Keefe’s novel Frankenstein’s Monster (2010) – a modern rendition of the myth of Victor Frankenstein and his Creature – with regard to the theory of conceptual integration proposed by G. Fauconnier and M. Turner (2002). It is argued that the reader’s conceptualization of the eponymous Monster emerges in the proces of conceptual blending, where several input mental spaces, constructed around elements of the philosophical concept of the Great Chain of Being, are merged to produce a novel entity. Thus, the reader’s active participation in meaning construction allows her/him to redefine her/his perception of monstrosity.
Family Resemblance: Frankenstein’s Monster and the Phantom of the Opera in ”Penny Dreadful” (2014-2016)
Authors: Babilas Dorota
Published: November 2019

The Creature of Frankenstein never managed to fulfil his desire of finding a loving partner in Mary Shelley’s novel, but his symbolic progeny continues to haunt the modern popular culture. The article discusses the case of “family resemblance” between Frankenstein’s Creature and the title antihero of Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera. In their respective literary sources, they share an inborn deformity, an appreciation for music, a romantic yearning for love and acceptance matched with sociopathic violence. Recently, the TV series Penny Dreadful elaborates on these allusions, conflating the narratives by Shelley and Leroux, as well as their later adaptations.

Published: November 2019

Objective: Proposed regulation may establish nicotine standards in cigarettes to sub-addictive levels. In this study, we explore the association between nicotine perceptions and responses to a reduced nicotine policy scenario among current smokers. Methods: Data from a
nationally representative sample of 18-54-year-old current tobacco users were collected in March-April 2018 (N = 1746). Current smokers (N = 854) were asked about nicotine-related health beliefs and nicotine addiction. Time to first cigarette (TTFC) was used to examine nicotine dependence.
Adjusted and weighted logistic regression models examined these nicotine-related factors in association to support for a proposed government policy and related behavioral intentions. Results: Although 63% of survey participants accurately identified nicotine alone as the addiction cause,
49% incorrectly indicated that cancer and 56% indicated that increased health risk caused by cigarette smoking comes from nicotine. Smokers showed high support (72%) for a proposed low-nicotine policy. Greater misperception about nicotine harm was associated with greater odds (aOR = 1.66,
p < .05) of policy support. Shorter TTFC was associated with greater intent to smoke low-nicotine cigarettes but was not associated with policy support. Conclusion: Evidence could inform health message development to address knowledge and misperceptions around nicotine when garnering
public support for a low-nicotine policy.

Published: November 2019

Objectives: Industry, policymakers, researchers, and others have interest in social media, assuming that they influence – or reflect – individual behavior, despite limited supporting research. Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) emerged in the United States
in the past decade alongside strong social media presence, making ENDS relevant for examining this issue. In this study, we examined monthly ENDS-related Twitter activity (tweet volume) in relation to monthly ENDS purchasing among ENDS purchasers. Methods: Data from 2105 Nielsen Consumer
Panel households with any ENDS purchases from October 2012 to September 2015 were examined, accounting for ENDS advertising expenditures, state-level tobacco environment, and consumer characteristics. Results: ENDS-related purchases and twitter volume increased over time; advertising
expenditures did not increase at the same level. Bivariate analyses indicated that ENDS purchases increased over time (p < .001) and were related to lower designated market area advertising expenditures (p = .025), higher cigarette taxes (p = .015), and older consumer age (p = .001). Among
ENDS purchasers, multivariate analyses indicated that purchases correlated positively with tweet volume but negatively with advertising expenditure measures. Conclusions: Social media (eg, Twitter) may offer platforms for monitoring and/or intervening with respect to ENDS use, and potentially
the ENDS industry, which engages in social media.

Published: November 2019

Objective: In this study, we investigated whether California's 2017 cigarette tax increase was passed onto smokers equally. Methods: Auditors recorded 4 cigarette prices in the same random sample of licensed tobacco retailers (N = 1049) before the tax increase (January-March
2017) and after (April-September 2018): Natural American Spirit (ultra-premium), Newport menthol (premium), and Pall Mall (value) all from the same manufacturer, and Marlboro (premium). Ordinary least squares regressions examined how the gap in prices varied by market segment and neighborhood
demographics, controlling for store type and months since implementation. Paired t-tests assessed whether industry/retail revenue increased. Results: Over-shifting (increase greater than tax) was evident for all 4 brands and was significantly greater for ultra-premium (Mean = $0.40,
SD = 0.75) than premium (Mean = $0.25, SD = 0.78) and greater for premium than value brand (Mean = $0.16, SD = 0.67). However, under-shifting (increase less than tax) was evident for Newport in African-American neighborhoods and Pall Mall in Hispanic neighborhoods. After the
tax increase, prices were significantly more likely to be discounted and significantly more stores advertised a discount on cigarettes. Conclusion: California's tax increase was not passed onto consumers equally. Non-tax mechanisms to increase price could support intended effects of
tobacco taxes.
Identifying Strategies for English Language Learner Literacy Development at the Secondary Level Using Whole-class Readings
Authors: Terpstra Alicia , Adams Susan
Published: November 2019

This study seeks to identify literacy strategies that support English language learner literacy development in secondary English courses. The study occurs over a six-week unit where whole-class reading of the novella Animal Farm takes place. The study features qualitative methods of data collection and analysis situated in an advocacy, change-oriented perspective. Data include teaching journal entries, lesson plans, field notes, student conference interviews (conferring notes), and student records and artifacts. Constant comparison and grounded theory methods of analysis are used, along with open coding and pattern matching. Findings reveal four emergent patterns that have a significant positive correlation to comprehension, participation, and academic achievement: the frequency of teacher read-alouds, the use of visual aids with graphic organizers, the use of group activities as part of scaffolding exercises, and sustained repetition of strategies and material.
Mitől jó az irónia?
Authors: Svindt Veronika , Tátrai Szilárd
Published: November 2019

A cikk az irónia és a humorérzék kapcsolatát tárgyalja. Kutatásunk az irónia népi kategóriájából indul ki, vagyis azt tekintjük iróniának, illetve ironikusnak, amit az emberek iróniának, illetve ironikusnak tartanak. Kérdésfeltevéseinkben ugyanakkor érvényesítjük a funkcionális kognitív pragmatika iróniaértelmezésének egyes elméleti és módszertani háttérfeltevéseit: az a feltevés, hogy az irónia a reflexivitást, a nyelvi megismerés egyik alapvető tulajdonságát, és különösen a résztvevők metapragmatikus tudatosságát, kibontakozó módon kamatoztatja. A kutatás kiinduló hipotézise szerint a humorérzék pozitív korrelációban áll mind az irónia produkciójával, mind annak megértésével. Az empirikus vizsgálat kétlépcsős: két, egymásra épülő online kérdőíves vizsgálatban mérjük a humorérzék összefüggését egyfelől az irónia létrehozásával, másfelől a megértésével. A vizsgálatban a humorra való képesség méréséhez sztenderd teszteket alkalmazunk. Az irónia produkciójának és felismerésének vizsgálata pedig 15 képi stimulus segítségével történik, amelyhez az első kérdőív kitöltőitől ironikus képaláírásokat kértünk, hogy ezek ironikusságát a második kérdőív kitöltőivel megítéltethessük.
Az irónia lényegi jegyének keresése az elméleti pragmatikában
Authors: Nemesi Attila László
Published: November 2019

Az alábbiakban először bemutatom a pragmatika főbb iróniaértelmezéseit a jelen terjedelmi keretekhez igazodva. Ezt követően összefoglalom, hogy 100 egyetemi hallgató válaszai alapján milyen következtetéseket vonhatunk le az irónia hétköznapi fogalmáról és feltételezett funkcióiról. A tanulságok fényében tisztázom saját álláspontomat, kitérve az irónia és az ugratás, valamint az irónia és a szarkazmus viszonyára. Végül magyarázatot keresek arra, miért társul az irónia zavartalanul más trópusokkal, gondolatalakzatokkal, és miért érezzük olyan gyakran humorosnak. A nyelvi példaanyag részint zenei anekdotákból, részint a hivatkozott szakirodalomban sűrűn idézett ironikus (vagy legalábbis annak mondott) megnyilatkozásokból tevődik össze.
Az irónia és a hazugság kommunikatív komponenseinek felismerése 5–10 éves korban
Authors: Babarczy Anna , Szücs Márta
Published: November 2019

Ebben a cikkben a beszélők véleményének, szándékának és attitűdjének felismerését és értékelését vizsgáljuk az iróniát, hazugságot és szó szerint igaz állításokat tartalmazó megnyilatkozások kapcsán 5–10 éves (óvodás, elsős és harmadikos általános iskolás gyerekeknél). A résztvevőknek véleménykérdésre, szándékkérdésre és attitűdkérdésre kellett válaszolniuk egy feleletválasztós szövegértési feladatban narratíva alapján. Értékeléseiket bináris (igaz/hamis) skálán vizsgálták. Míg az óvodásoknak mindhárom állítástípus egyformán nehéznek bizonyult, a harmadikosztályosok számára egyformán könnyűnek bizonyult. Váratlanul az elsősök voltak a legkevésbé sikeresek a hazugság hazugságként való felismerésében. A beszélő szándékával kapcsolatban három lehetséges válasz volt: a beszélő viccelt, megpróbálta elriasztani a hallgatót, vagy komolyan gondolta, amit mondott. A válaszadók a legnehezebbnek az ironikus kijelentések mögött rejlő szándék felismerését találták: két fiatalabb csoport véletlenszerűen teljesített, és a legidősebb résztvevők is csak az esetek felében értékelték helyesen a szándékot. A félrevezetés szándékát valamennyivel könnyebben felismerték mindhárom csoportban, és a szó szerint igaz mondatok bizonyultak a legkönnyebben megérthetőnek. A beszélő hozzáállását egy ötfokozatú skálán mérték (a „csúnyá”-tól a „szép”-ig). Az iróniát és a hazugságot a három csoport egyike sem különböztette meg, és mindhárom csoport szignifikánsan csúnyábbnak értékelte az ilyen beszélőket, mint a szó szerint igaz állításokat, bár a tízéveseknél ez a különbség valamivel kisebb volt, mint a fiatalabb csoportoknál.
A végpontosság mint szituációs aspektuális jegy jelölése a magyar nyelvben (1. rész)
Authors: Farkas Imola-Ágnes , Kardos Éva
Published: November 2019

Jelen tanulmány főként az áltárgyas szerkezetek jellemzésével, valamint az igekötőkhöz vagy eredményhatározós predikátumokhoz, illetve az elfogyasztást és létrehozást kifejező predikátumok kvantált tárgyi argumentumaihoz fűzött ki egészítésével kíván átfogóbb képet nyújtani a magyar nyelv telicitásjelölési módjairól. Fontos célunk, hogy megfogalmazzunk néhány új általánosítást a telikusság megjelenéséről a magyarban azáltal, hogy egy olyan generatív-szemantikai, skaláris keretbe helyezzük elemzésünket, amelyet az utóbbi években számos nyelv eseményszerkezeti jelenségeinek leírására használtak a szakirodalomban. A legfontosabb következtetésünk szerint a magyar nyelv legalább három, egymástól szignifikánsan különböző telikussági jelölési elemet használ, így ebben a nyelvben a telikus predikátumok osztálya egyértelműen heterogén. E tekintetben a magyar eltér az angol, német és holland nyelvektől, melyek alapvetően az ige belső argumentumának kvantáltsága révén jelölik a végpontosságot.
Beszermény és besermen
Authors: Senga Toru
Published: November 2019

A magyar böszörmény korábbi formája a beszermény volt, az etimológiai szótárakban általában nem található meg. Első bizonyított előfordulása a Bezermen helynév a 13. századból. Jelentése ’muszlim’. Az óoroszban és az ócsehben is megtalálhatók azonos alakú és jelentésű szavak. A besurmen alak először a Kijevi Krónika 1184-es bejegyzésében fordult elő. A Lavrentij-évkönyv 1282-es bejegyzésében a besurmen egyszer, a besermen pedig ötször fordul elő. A hirtelen és váratlan változás valószínűleg egy későbbi másoló vagy fordító saját nyelvének nem szándékos hatására vezethető vissza. A besurmen alak valószínűleg a polovecek nyelvéből származik. Abból a tényből kiindulva, hogy a volgai bolgárokat később a 14. században az óoroszban besermenként emlegették, feltételezhetjük, hogy az óorosz a szót a volgai bolgárok nyelvéből, a csuvas típusú török nyelvek egyikéből kölcsönözte. A besermen forma először a Vlagyimir-Szuzdali fejedelemségben terjedt el, majd az egész Rusz területén uralkodóvá vált. A magyar beszermény egy másik csuvas típusú török nyelv kölcsönszava lehet, legkésőbb a 9. században kölcsönözték. Az ócseh bezzermene (Besermené) eredetét tekintve a magyar terjedés valószínűbb, mint a keleti szláv. A 13. században ezeknek a szavaknak a jelentése ’muzulmán’ volt a Volgától nyugatra, egészen a Moldva folyóig, különösebb etnikai utalás nélkül. Ugyanaz a jelentés rejtőzik a Biserminben, amit Plano Carpini említett, a ferences szerzetes tévesen etnikai névnek hitte. Ezzel szemben útitársa, a szláv nyelveket ismerő Benedictus Polonus a cseh és az orosz szót vette köznévnek, útleírásában nem említette a Bisermin szót.

Result: As a result, the author substantiates the framework constitutional approach of conjugation in the formalization of subjective rights with their guarantees of implementation by the judiciary on the basis of the principles established for them. Among the latest principles are the following: independent and unbiased court, universal and procedural equality in judicial; presumption of innocence; publicity of court proceeding and pronouncement of a verdict. The studied constitutional provisions also reveal other principles of the judiciary, which were solitary instances of the claimed combination with subjective rights, but did not receive a consistent mass distribution. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of the Humanitarian Context of the Principles of the Judiciary in the Constitutions of the Countries of Eastern Europe is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.
A ação conjunta de Organizações Internacionais (UE e OCDE) em Educação: Metamorfoses? Observações em torno de Políticas Educativas em Portugal
Authors: Antunes Fátima
Published: November 2019

Desde 2013 a Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Económico (OCDE) desenvolve uma intervenção em educação em Portugal, com o objetivo de elaborar uma Estratégia Nacional de Competências, com particular incidência no campo da educação de adultos e, posteriormente (2017), no contexto de uma política nacional para o ensino básico e secundário, Projeto Autonomia e Flexibilidade Curricular. Em um e outro casos, trata-se de políticas nacionais enquadradas pelo Programa Educação e Formação 2020, no âmbito das políticas europeias de educação, e de dinâmicas que mobilizam o trabalho direto dos técnicos da OCDE com os atores no terreno das escolas e outros contextos educativos. A europeização da educação e das políticas públicas neste domínio, e genericamente a ação de organizações supranacionais, constitui a expressão de uma nova ordem educacional associada a processos e projetos políticos de globalização e da economia do conhecimento. Neste texto, analisa-se o percurso de europeização da educação para, à luz dos casos referidos, discutir se a centralidade da mediação nacional – concretizada pelas opções e apropriações pelos governos nacionais das políticas, orientações e modelos educativos disseminados por organizações supranacionais como a OCDE e a União Europeia (UE) – pode estar a assumir formas diferentes, derivadas desta mais recente conexão na ação em educação entre atores e contextos globais e locais. Estas metamorfoses podem passar, por exemplo, por articulações antes desconhecidas na constituição dos espaços global e local, com novos papéis e protagonismos para as autoridades nacionais, bem como para as organizações internacionais e outros perfis para atores e contextos locais.
Futuro antecipado na Educação: OCDE e controle do Conhecimento Global
Authors: De Freitas Rogério Gonçalves , Coelho Higson Rodrigues
Published: November 2019

Este artigo analisa como a Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) conquistou o controle do conhecimento no campo educativo por meio do discurso do futuro antecipado. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Nas últimas décadas a OCDE destaca-se por ter inventado instrumentos poderosos de avaliação no campo educacional, a exemplo do Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (Pisa). Esse exame funciona para além de um programa de avaliação em larga escala. Trata-se de uma vitrine da OCDE que controla, política e economicamente, o conhecimento global no espaço educativo por meio do discurso do futuro antecipado. Concluímos que esse discurso representa um movimento em direção à criação de novas cadeias de produção de valor, cujos vaticinadores são representados pelos novos “profetas” da educação neoliberal.
Engineering lecturer’s perceptions of student self-assessment in enhancing technical oral presentation skills
Authors: Abdelmajdid Benraghda , Radzuan Noor Raha Mohd
Published: November 2019

In recent years, self-assessment (SA) has been increasingly implemented as an alternative method of assessment in tertiary educational contexts. The research described in this paper employed semi-structured interviews as an instrument to evaluate engineering lecturer’s perceptions towards student SA in developing their non-verbal communication skills in technical oral presentations. A sample of 10 engineering lecturers from a technical university participated in the study. Semi-structured interview data revealed that most engineering lecturers viewed student SA positively and they reported on student SA as providing learning values because the latter viewed student SA as a learning aid. The results further showed that student SA could promote the students’ learning, an increase of students’ willingness to deliver oral presentations and self-enabling. Therefore, student SA can be a powerful method to increase learning by raising the awareness of the necessity of non-verbal communication skills in delivering technical oral presentations.

Hospitalizations due to Angioedema without Urticaria in a Portuguese Center: Five Year Retrospective Study
Authors: Cosme Joana , Spínola Amélia , Ferreira Manuel Branco , Barbosa Manuel Pereira
Published: November 2019

Introduction: Hospitalizations due to angioedema are important especially in debilitating or life-threatening situations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency and etiology of angioedema without urticaria in hospital admissions.Material and Methods: The admissions between 2009 and 2013 in Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Norte with a diagnosis grouped under the ICD9 codes of angioedema were retrospectively analysed. The episodes of angioedema with urticaria were excluded. The admissions were categorized into 2 groups: A — hospitalizations motivated by the angioedema; B — hospitalizations in which the angioedema was an incidental finding.Results: There were 169 hospitalizations (52% females, 96% adults, mean age 52 ± 20.8 years), distributed by 23 hospital departments, 51% in the Immunoallergology department. The mean annual angioedema admission rate was 72/100 000. In 68% of the cases, angioedema was the cause for the admission; in 32% an incidental finding. In 38% there was upper airway involvement. The etiologies were: hereditary angioedema in 24%, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor induced angioedema in 31%, idiopathic angioedema in 21%, thrombolysis induced angioedema in 13%, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced angioedema in 5%.Discussion: The main etiology was angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor angioedema, followed by hereditary angioedema and thrombolysis induced angioedema, and these findings concur with the international literature.Conclusion: The mean annual angioedema admission rate was 72/100 000 and there was airway involvement in 38% of hospitalizations.

PRESCRIBING GENERIC DRUGS: PERCEPTION, OBEDIENCE, AND SUPERVISION AT KALISAT DISTRICT HOSPITAL
Authors: Rahmawati Isna , Savitri Alief Dyaningayu
Published: November 2019

Background: The average of generic drugs prescription at Kalisat District Hospital, Jember, in 2009-2011, reached 57.50%, while patent medicine prescription amounted to 42.50%. It showed that the use of generic drugs at Kalisat District Hospital was higher than the use of patent medicine. However, the prescription has not obeyed the service standard with the supposed minimum standard of 90%.Aim: This study aims to determine the doctors’ obedience and their perception toward the supervision of prescribing generic drugs as well as the correlation between doctors’ supervision and obedience in prescribing generic drugs.Methods: This study is a descriptive and observational study by employing a cross-sectional design. This study was conducted starting from April to July 2013 at Kalisat District Hospital, Jember. The samples were 50 prescription documents taken randomly in April 2013. Besides, questionnaires were distributed to 12 doctors in July 2013.Results: The supervision on prescribing generic drugs at Kalisat District Hospital was considered insufficient by the doctors with the percentage of 58.3%. The level of doctors’ obedience in prescribing generic drugs at Kalisat District Hospital reached 68%, while the national standard in April 2013 amounted to 90%. It means that they had not reached the standard of prescribing generic drugs.Conclusion: Based on the cross-tabulation analysis used to investigate the correlation between doctors’ supervision and obedience in prescribing generic drugs at Kalisat District Hospital in July 2013, the results suggested that generic drug supervision correlates with the doctors’ obedience in prescribing generic drugs. The correlation between these two factors is considered moderate. The hospital should increase the supervision of prescribing generic drugs. Thus, doctors should prescribe generic drugs optimally. The hospital management should also perform continuous socialization on the use of generic drugs.Keywords: generic drugs, supervision, obedience, perception.
URBAN-RURAL DISPARITY: THE UTILIZATION OF PRIMARY HEALTHCARE CENTERS AMONG ELDERLY IN EAST JAVA, INDONESIA
Authors: Wulandari Ratna Dwi , Laksono Agung Dwi
Published: November 2019

Background: Urban always attracts investors to invest. Health facilities in urban areas are growing rapidly compared to villages. This condition is estimated to contribute to the disparity of urban-rural areas in the utilization of health services. Studying the utilization of health services is a way to evaluate the performance of the health care system through its output.Aim: This study analyzed the urban-rural disparity in the utilization of primary healthcare center by the elderly.Method: This study used in the 2013 Basic Health Research raw data. The 2013 Basic Health Research was designed as a cross-sectional survey. With the multi-stage cluster random sampling method, 25,813 elderly people in East Java Province participated. Data were analyzed using Multinomial Logistic Regression tests.Results: Elderly people in urban areas have a better probability of outpatient use of 1.208 than those living in rural areas (OR 1.208; 95% CI 1.057-1.380). The elderly who have a primary school and under education have the possibility of 1.558 times more utilizing outpatients in primary healthcare centers than the elderly who have college education levels (OR 1.558; 95% CI 1.001-2.424).Conclusion: There was a disparity between urban and rural areas in the utilization of outpatient primary healthcare centers in East Java by the elderly.

Background: A clinical pathway is a concept of an integrated service which describes the stages of healthcare services from the admission until the return of  patients based on the medical service standards and evidence-based nursing care with measurable results. Kaliwates General Hospital is an accredited hospital with a clinical pathway. Typhoid case was the highest disease in 2017 at Kaliwates General Hospital.Aims: This study aims to describe the resources at Kaliwates General Hospital in the implementation of clinical pathways, especially typhoid fever treatment.Method: This study was a descriptive and qualitative study. Nine respondents were selected using purposive sampling, including one internist and the quality team at Kaliwates General Hospital. The variables studied include human resource factors, budget factors, method factors, and time factors.Results: The results suggested that the human resources at Kaliwates General Hospital had high commitment, motivation, and moderate knowledge in the implementation of clinical pathways. All equipment and documents were considered adequate. The communication among the implementers was good, but compliance and training for staffs were considered less prominent. The task division of each staff was fairly distributed even though the pharmacy unit perceived that the division was quite unfair.Conclusion: The implementation of the clinical pathway for typhoid fever treatment at Kaliwates General Hospital runs quite well. The hospital must identify and plan staff training regularly, prepare the job description appropriately, and perform performance appraisal based on the job description that has been developed.Keywords: clinical pathway, typhoid fever, resource.

Soils constitute an important mean for studying the conditioning processes of the evolution of the relief, considering that in them materials related to events modeling the relief can be preserved. In the Northwest region of Paraná, a manifestation of ferruginous duricrust related to relief sculpture is observed, but there are no detailed studies on these deposits. In this sense, this work aims to analyze these ferruginous materials present in the study area, through the morphological description of profiles with duricrusts, as well as to study these materials by X-ray diffraction and micromorphology, seeking to understand the current organization of ferruginous materials on top of hillocks and hills. Therefore, a mapping of relief features supported by ferruginous duricrusts, previously identified by Fumiya et al., (2016) was used. A morphological description of profiles with ferruginous duricrust in 14 relief features showed that 11 features present truncations between horizons and colluvial layers, indicating that probably the duricrusts are rudaceous paleopavement, that were covered by colluvium.

Authors: Coser Edinei , Grison Fernando
Published: November 2019

O fluxo de água é o principal agente modificador de canais naturais e uma ferramenta útil para entender essas modificações é a teoria da geometria hidráulica. Neste contexto, parâmetros hidráulicos como velocidade média, profundidade hidráulica e largura variam com a vazão como funções potenciais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi obter os coeficientes e expoentes das funções potenciais da geometria hidráulica para 17 seções transversais em um trecho de canal natural de 132 m do rio da Divisa, com largura em torno de 4 m e profundidade média variando de 0,40 a 1,00 m, entre os municípios de Chapecó e Guatambú em Santa Catarina. Também foi analisada a utilização do modelo HEC-RAS 4.1 em estado estacionário e não estacionário para obtenção dos parâmetros hidráulicos. A análise da geometria hidráulica para cada seção foi baseada no diagrama de Rhodes. Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferenças significativas utilizando as simulações em regime permanente e não permanente e que a maiorias das seções transversais apresentam margens estáveis e competência para transporte de sedimentos. Assim, foi possível diagnosticar o trecho de estudo bem como demonstrar a praticidade e confiabilidade do modelo HEC-RAS como ferramenta no auxílio de estudos da geometria hidráulica.

Background: Iranian traditional medicine is a holistic school of medicine with a long prolific history. It describes numerous concepts and the relationships between them. However, no unified terminology has been proposed for the concepts of this medicine up to the present time. Considering the extensive use of concepts in the numerous textbooks written by the scholars over centuries, comprehending the totality of the terminology is obviously a very challenging task. To resolve this issue and overcome the obstacles, and code the concepts in a reusable manner, constructing an ontology of the concepts of Iranian traditional medicine seems a necessity.Methods: Makhzan al-Advieh, an encyclopedia of materia medica compiled by Mohammad Hossein Aghili Khorasani, was selected as the resource to create an ontology of Mizaj. The steps followed to accomplish this task included (1) compiling the list of classes for Mizaj; (2) arranging the classes in taxonomy; (3) determining object properties and their cardinalities; (4) specifying annotation properties including codes, labels, synonyms, and definitions for each concept; (5) reviewing the fields pertaining to Mizaj of all monographs in Makhzan al-Advieh. The ontology was created using Protégé with adherence to the principles of ontology development provided by the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology (OBO) foundry. Results: Mizaj ontology was constructed with a final inclusion of 105 classes, three object properties, and 1078 axioms in the Iranian Traditional Medicine General Ontology database, IrGO, freely available at http://jafarilab.com/irgo/. An indented tree view and an interactive graph view using WebVOWL were used to visualize the ontology. All classes were linked to their instances in the UNaProd database to create a knowledge-base of Mizaj. Conclusion: We constructed an ontology-based knowledge base of ITM concepts of Mizaj in the domain of materia medica to help offer a shared and common understanding of this concept, enable reuse of the knowledge, and make the assumptions explicit. Extending IrGO will bridge the gap between traditional and conventional schools of medicine and help guide future research on new treatment options.
Emerging Roles of Long Non-Coding RNAs as Drivers of Brain Evolution
Authors: Zimmer-Bensch Geraldine
Published: November 2019

Mammalian genomes encode tens of thousands of long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are capable of interactions with DNA, RNA and protein molecules, thereby enabling a variety of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory activities. Strikingly, about 40% of lncRNAs are expressed specifically in the brain in precisely regulated temporal and spatial expression patterns. In stark contrast to the highly conserved repertoire of protein-coding genes, thousands of new lncRNAs have appeared during primate nervous system evolution with hundreds of human-specific lncRNAs. Their evolvable nature and the myriad of potential functions make lncRNAs ideal candidates for drivers of human brain evolution. The human brain displays the largest relative volume of any animal species and the most remarkable cognitive abilities. In addition to brain size, structural reorganization and adaptive changes represent crucial hallmarks of human brain evolution. LncRNAs are increasingly reported to be involved in neurodevelopmental processes including proliferation, neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis, as well as in neuroplasticity, suggested to underlie human brain evolution. Hence, evolutionary human brain adaptations are proposed to be essentially driven by lncRNAs, which will be discussed in this review.

Background: Sacubitril/valsartan has been shown to be superior to enalapril in reducing the risks of death and hospitalization for heart failure (HF). However the effect on cardiac performance remains unknown. We sought to evaluate the effects of sacubitril/valsartan on clinical, bioumoral and echocardiographic parameters in patients with HFrEF. Methods: Sacubitril/valsartan was administered to 205 HFrEF patients. Results: Among 230 patients (mean age 59 ± 10 years, 46% with ischemic heart disease) 205 (89%) completed the study. After a follow–up of 10.49 (2.93±18.44) months, the percentage of patients in NYHA class III changed from 40% to 17% (p<0.001). Median N–Type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) decreased from 1865 ± 2318 to 1514 ± 2205 pg/mL, (p=0.01). Furosemide dose reduced from 131.3 ± 154.5 to 120 ± 142.5 (p=0.047). Ejection fraction (from 27± 5.9% to 30 ± 7.7% (p<0.001) and E/A ratio (from 1.67 ± 1.21 to 1.42 ± 1.12 (p=0.002)) improved. Moderate to severe mitral regurgitation (from 30.1% to 17.4%; p=0.002) and tricuspid velocity decreased from 2.8 ± 0.55 m/sec to 2.64 ± 0.59 m/sec (p<0.014). CONCLUSIONS: Sacubitril/valsartan induce “hemodynamic reverse remodeling” and in association with Nt-proBNP concentrations lowering improve NYHA class despite a diuretic dose reduction.
Os 25 anos da CIPD: Terra inabitável e o grito da juventude
Authors: Alves José Eustáquio Diniz
Published: November 2019

O fim da Guerra Fria, o desmoronamento da União Soviética, a unificação alemã, a formação da União Europeia e a emergência econômica da China e da Índia abriram um momento de colaboração e esperança de progresso na ordem internacional, na última década do turbulento século XX. A Conferência Internacional sobre População e Desenvolvimento (CIPD), ocorrida no Cairo, em 1994, se beneficiou deste clima global favorável e apresentou um Programa de Ação com uma visão otimista da tríplice relação entre população, desenvolvimento e natureza, prenunciando um mundo com avanços econômicos e sociais, com respeito ao meio ambiente e ampliação dos direitos humanos. Contudo, as múltiplas conquistas materiais e a melhoraem diversos indicadores sociais ocorreram às custas do empobrecimento dos ecossistemas e do desequilíbrio climático do planeta. O sonho do desenvolvimento sustentável tem gerado pesadelos, principalmente entre as novas gerações, que estão ocupando as ruas para denunciar as promessas vazias e a crescente probabilidade de um apocalipse ecológico que se vislumbra no horizonte. São estas questões que serão tratadas nesta nota técnica, neste momento em que se realiza a cúpula CIPD25, de Nairóbi.

Case:

We reported a case of a 25-year-old woman with idiopathic bilateral coxa vara who had initial presentation of hip osteoarthritis. She was later treated with bilateral subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy. A good functional outcome was recorded without nonunion or deformity recurrence. The arthritis of the hips also decelerated.

Conclusions:

Coxa vara first diagnosed in adulthood was relatively uncommon, and the cause in this present case was uncertain. Subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy seemed to be a suitable treatment for this case.
