El empleo del clembuterol en la producción de ganado implica riesgos a la salud humana que deben ser evaluados y atendidos por las autoridades agropecuarias y sanitarias. En este trabajo se evaluaron los resultados del programa de vigilancia sanitaria de dicho compuesto en productos cárnicos de bovinos que se comercializan en Guerrero, México. Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo del periodo comprendido entre 2011 y 2015, sobre la evolución de su uso ilegal y el registro de intoxicaciones alimentarias por clembuterol. Los porcentajes de muestras positivas disminuyeron gradualmente hasta quedar en 2015 en 6.8 % y, en general, fueron más bajos en comparación con los antecedentes inmediatos; sin embargo, siempre fueron superiores a los porcentajes promedio del resto del país (Guerrero= 9.5 %, Nacional= 5.8 %). Las jurisdicciones sanitarias con mayor presencia del fármaco fueron Tierra Caliente y Norte, con 12.1 y 16.8 %, respectivamente, así como en lugares con una población grande como Acapulco (9.6 %). Se reportaron pocos casos de intoxicaciones humanas en los tres primeros años (2011= 3, 2012= 5 y 2013= 4) y ninguno en los dos posteriores; sin embargo hay un sub-registro que puede deberse a diversos factores tanto individuales, regionales e institucionales que se discuten más adelante. El avance observado en este programa ha sido significativo; sin embargo, debe fortalecerse la vigilancia sanitaria con la finalidad de erradicar esta actividad ilegal en el corto plazo.

Authors: Yurdakul İbrahim
Published: January 2019

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate clinical, radiological, ultrasonographic and microbiological findings of calves with septic arthritis. Study material consisted of 50 calves with arthritis in different stocks and gender and aged between 4 to 150 d, brought to the clinic between 2016 and 2017 with lameness complaint. After obtaining medical histories, physical and microbiological examinations of calves’ clinical, radiographic, ultrasonographic, synovial samples were conducted. Clinically, monoarthritis was detected in 37 calves and polyarthritis was detected in 13 calves. Most of the lesions were observed in carpal and tarsal joints. In radiography results, increased opacity was found in joints with arthritis, intraarticular narrowing and degeneration on joint surface. In ultrasonographic examinations, the hyperechogenic heterogeneous appearance of synovial fluid and a smooth and apparent hyperechoic joint capsule in articular cartilage surface were observed in 43 cases. Most commonly, Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 13 cases, Trueperella pyogenes was detected in 8 cases, Streptococcus pluranimalium was detected in 8 cases, Mycoplasma bovis was detected in 5 cases, Escherichia coli was detected in 5 cases, Saprophyte spp. was detected in 1 case and Acinetobacter spp. was detected in 1 case in microbiological examination of synovial fluid. In conclusion, the together evaluation of clinical, radiological, ultrasonographic and microbiological findings in the diagnosis of septic arthritis, which is frequently encountered in calves and which causes serious economic losses with high mortality rates, would be a more effective approach for clinical practitioners in terms of treatment and prognosis.

Context-oriented Knowledge Management in Production Networks
Authors: Sandkuhl Kurt , Smirnov Alexander
Published: January 2019

Production networks have been established in many industrial domains with globalized supply structures, sourcing strategies or cooperation environments. Knowledge management in such networks requires a context-oriented approach in order to accommodate for individual and organizational needs when providing relevant knowledge for complex tasks, such as value creation. The focus of this paper is on the procedure by which to determine what actually has to be taken into account as part of the ‘context’ for establishing context-oriented knowledge management, how to capture this context, and how to use it. The variability of organisational and individual tasks both at design time and at runtime is essential for understanding context in production networks. The main contribution of the present study is a context modelling method, including variability identification. The application of this method is demonstrated by using an example of a production network from automotive industries.

Authors: Buchta Krystyna , Jakubiak Monika , Skiert Małgorzata , Wilczewski Adam
Published: January 2019

Changes in the socio-economic environment of universities require its tasks and social roles to be constantly reviewed and redefined. The present paper attempts to assess universities’ responsibility for the outcomes of educational process. The outcomes are measured on the basis of graduates’ preparedness for undertaking professional work. The paper’s aim was to indicate the main discrepancies between employers’ expectations regarding graduates’ occupational training and the level of competences acquired by graduates in the course of their studies. A premise was made that the comparison of the views presented by the main stakeholders will enable the level on which the individual competences match the needs of labor market to be determined, and the strengths and weaknesses of university curricula to be indicated. The analysis encompassed both hard occupational skills, which are subordinated to the content-related educational profile, and key soft competences.
Neural Network Application to Support Regression Model in Forecasting Single-Sectional Demand for Telecommunications Services
Authors: Kaczmarczyk Paweł
Published: January 2019

The aim of this research study is to test the effectiveness of the single-sectional integrated model, in which a neural network is applied to support a regression, as a consistent tool for short-term forecasting of hourly demand (in sec.) for telecommunications services. The theoretical part of the paper involves the idea of the single-sectional integrated model and differences between this model and a multi-sectional integrated model. Moreover, the research methodology is described, i.e. the elements used in the constructed model (the feedforward neural model and the regression with dichotomous explanatory variables), and the manner of their integration are discussed.

In the empirical part of this work, the results of the carried out experiments are included. The comparison of the obtained effectiveness (in terms of approximation and prediction) of the explored single-sectional integrated model with the effectiveness of the non-supported regression model and the multi-sectional integrated model are conducted. In this research work, it is proved that the single-sectional integrated model enables better results in comparison to the non-integrated regression and the mutli-sectional integrated model. The originality of this paper is based on: the created single-sectional integrated model in terms of the analysed phenomenon, the verification of the model effectiveness, and the comparison of the constructed model with other models and assessment.

Published: January 2019

Obesity, a component of the metabolic syndrome, is a rising public health problem, continuously increasing in the European countries. The therapeutic success of the patient with metabolic syndrome requires a multidisciplinary approach to lifestyle changes, weight loss, continuous and dynamic dietary improvement, sedentary reduction, normalization of blood pressure, glycemia and lipid parameters. We performed a retrospective study that was conducted in the Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital in Iasi, with 4627 patients that were admitted in the Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Clinic from January 2011 to December 2015 with the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome according to WHO definition (Group 1) or with other comorbidities (Group 2). In the first group were included 1064 patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. This group has predominantly smoking female patients. Also, in group 1 were diagnosed more patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and coronary heart disease compared to group 2. Most of the patients with inflammatory syndrome were included in the group without metabolic syndrome (group 2). The results of our study confirm that metabolic syndrome is a cluster of abnormalities whose evolution determines the development of coronary heart disease. All this would advocate for treating metabolic syndrome as the primary method of preventing cardiovascular disease.

Authors: Priscilla Pașc , Coţe Ioana Alexandra , Popescu Mircea Ioachim
Published: January 2019

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world, causing over 17 million deaths annually, of which 7.2 million by coronary heart disease. They are a major public health problem worldwide, of which acute coronary syndromes show special attention due to increased prevalence and incidence and poor prognosis. Although advanced therapies can improve the morbidity and mortality associated with acute coronary syndromes in well-developed countries, developing countries remain exposed to the ravages of these diseases. Of the patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome, about 30% suffer from diabetes mellitus, considered a major risk factor and a predictor for unfavorable evolution regardless of the type of acute coronary syndrome.
Application of the Barkhausen effect probe with adjustable magnetic field direction for stress state determination in the P91 steel pipe
Authors: Chmielewski Marek , Piotrowski Leszek
Published: January 2019

The paper presents the results of application of a novel Barkhausen effect (BE) probe with adjustable magnetizing field direction for the stress level evaluation in ferromagnetic materials. The investigated sample was in a form of a pipe, made of P91 steel that was anisotropic due to the production process. The measurements were performed before and after welding, revealing the influence of welding process on the residual stress distribution. As was observed, the process introduced high tensile stresses in the normal to the weld direction (which can be interpreted as a decrease of strongly compressive residual stresses present in martensitic steels). In addition to that, the paper presents investigations of the measurement set performance corroborating its applicability for Barkhausen effect signal measurements in the magnetically anisotropic materials. The signals obtained during manual rotation of the probe (typical method of BE measurements) are very similar to those recorded during automatic field axis rotation.
The Influence of Production Parameters on Pozzolanic Reactivity of Calcined Clays
Authors: Danner Tobias , Justnes Harald
Published: January 2019

Calcined clays are gaining increasing interest as future supplementary cementitious materials for the production of blended cements. Besides the mineralogy, the right production conditions can affect the pozzolanic activity of calcined clays. In this paper, the pozzolanic reactivity of two calcined natural clays in dependence of burning temperature, residence time in the furnace, cooling conditions and particle size of the final product is investigated. The highest pozzolanic reactivity was found at calcination temperatures between 600 and 800°C. While different cooling conditions had no identified effect on reactivity, decreased particle size and residence time increased the reactivity.
Gaming for Introducing Social Challenges and Responsibility to Young People
Authors: Perko Igor , Mendiwelso-Bendek Zoraida
Published: January 2019

Gaming has the potential to support the development of young people’s capabilities in social responsibility (SR) and, at the same time, represents a threat of developing undesired behaviour patterns. Successful integration of gaming in the lives of young people requires a systemic approach, which, to the best of our knowledge, hasn’t been provided in the literature. We provide insight into this issue. In this paper, multiple methods are used. To elaborate the backgrounds on the gaming’s effects and social behaviour, the literature is analysed. To assess the state-of-the art of young people characteristics, their pressing social challenges and gaming evaluation reports are analysed. The synthesis is provided and placed in the context with social responsibility properties using system dynamics. Gaming concepts, appropriate for education for SR, and relationships between young people’s challenges and the players in the gaming environment in SR terms are proposed. Currently, the loop of games development is negatively propelled by the short-term games demand. We propose effective feedback loops, linking young people and their social environment, using a SR tool set to provide demands to the game providers. The experience will support the games developers to design socially constructive games, aiming to develop the desired skills and competencies in social transformation processes of young people toward SR. The proposed model provides merely an overview model, designed by the literature review and state-of-the-art analysis. To fully understand the games’ effects on young people, a more detailed analysis is required.

Published: January 2019

Introduction: The term angiodysplasia (AD) refers to acquired malformation of the blood vessels (communications between veins and capillaries), frequently found within the gastrointestinal mucosa and submucosa. AD of stomach and duodenum are cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in 4%-7% of patients. The means of treatment are usually endoscopic, including argon plasma coagulation (APC), electrocoagulation, mechanical hemostasis by clippsing, laser photo-coagulation and injection therapy.

Aim: To compare the success rate, and adverse events (ulcer lesions, perforations) of APC and injection therapy in the treatment of bleeding angiodysplasia in the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT).

Material and Methods: In a prospective study including 50 patients with bleeding angiodysplasia of the upper GIT, 35 patients were treated with APC, and remaining 15 with injection therapy using adrenaline and 1.5% solution of polidocanol. Follow-up period was 6 months.

Results: A total of 50 patients aged 18 to 64 years, 64% male and 36% female, have been treated during 2 years period. The rate of recurrent bleeding and side effects was significantly higher in the adrenaline group (p <0.01). Blood transfusion was required in 68% during the first hospital admission. Angiodysplasia of the stomach was present in 66%, versus 34% in duodenum.

Conclusion: Endoscopy is “gold standard” for diagnosis and treatment of AD in the gastrointestinal tract. The study unveiled APC as more effective treatment option with lower degree of complications and adverse events in comparison to injection therapy in patients with bleeding AD.

Authors: Malau S. , Lumbanraja P. , Pandiangan S. , Tarigan J.R. , Tindaon F.
Published: January 2019

The performance of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) depends on the climate, soil, pests, and elevation. Information on the performance of Arabica coffee growing in the changing climate of North Sumatra has not been available so far. To provide such information, 28 genotypes were studied. The nested design used three factors. Seven climate zones, two locations in each climate zone, and two coffee farms (genotype, G) in each location were selected. The research showed that the genotypes were highly significantly different (α = 0.01). G5, G6, and G20 produced the heaviest hundred beans. G13, G19, and G25 suffered the least coffee berry borer infestation (CBBI). The length of rainy season became the most important factor (r2 = 0.54). The CBBI (y, %) correlated significantly and negatively with the elevation (x, m) with the equation of y = 46.4 – 0.025x. The climate zones showed a significant difference (α = 0.05). The genotypes produced heavy beans also in two wet months of the rainy season and one dry month. The temperature (x, °C) was the most important factor affecting CBBI (r2 = 0.65) with the equation of y = –338.2 + 15.5x. The soil pH correlated significantly and positively with beans weight and bean width.
The Effect of Economies of Scope on Iranian Banking Sector Structure: An Application of Multi-Product Function and Multi-Level Effect Approaches
Authors: Mahmodpour Kamran , Shahiki Tash Mohammad N. , Fotros Mohammad Hassan
Published: January 2019

This paper investigates, using a multi-product paradigm, the market structure of the Iranian banking sector to evaluate the role of scale. In so doing, we checked for economies of scope by multi-product cost function as well as the impact of potential economies on the banking sector structure including 18 banks during the period 2008–2014. The changes in Panzar-Rosse H-Statistic as a result of the variety in products reflect changes in the monopolistic power. The results show that an increase in the variety of offered products increases banks’ monopolistic power.
Gold Exchange Traded Fund - Price Discovery and Performance Analysis
Authors: Mallika Mathew , Sulphey M. M.
Published: January 2019

The paper aims to examine the price discovery process and the performance of Gold Exchange Traded Funds especially with respect to two Gold ETFs, namely, Goldman Sachs Gold Exchange Traded Scheme (GoldBeEs) and SBI Gold Exchange Traded Scheme (SBIGETS), for the period 2009 – 2016. The study has employed Johansen cointegration and Johansen’s Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) for the price discovery analysis. The results of VECM reveal that the spot prices lead the Gold ETFs price during the study period. Tracking Error analysis shows that Gold ETFs have neither outperformed nor underperformed the spot price. Price Deviation analysis indicates that Gold ETFs are trading on an average lower than the spot price of gold. The entire analysis reveals that although the price discovery takes place in the spot market, Gold ETFs have performed as well as physical gold and the slight difference in price with that of Gold is only because of certain fees, which are applicable in the management of Gold ETFs.
On the Gains of Using High Frequency Data in Portfolio Selection
Authors: Brito Rui Pedro , Sebastião Helder , Godinho Pedro
Published: January 2019

This paper analyzes empirically the performance gains of using high frequency data in portfolio selection. Assuming Constant Relative Risk Aversion (CRRA) preferences, with different relative risk aversion levels, we compare low and high frequency portfolios within mean-variance, mean-variance-skewness and mean-variance-skewness-kurtosis frameworks. Using data on fourteen stocks of the Euronext Paris, from January 1999 to December 2005, we conclude that the high frequency portfolios outperform the low frequency portfolios for every out-of-sample measure, irrespectively to the relative risk aversion coefficient considered. The empirical results also suggest that for moderate relative risk aversion the best performance is always achieved through the jointly use of the realized variance, skewness and kurtosis. This claim is reinforced when trading costs are taken into account.

GENERIC STRUCTURE POTENTIAL OF THE ENGLISH INTRODUCTORY PAGES OF INSTITUTION WEBSITES IN VIETNAM
Authors: Tam Nguyen Thi Minh
Published: January 2019

Nowadays, websites are an indispensible means for the purposes of information, administration and promotion. To address a variety of audience with different access purposes, of different age groups, and from different countries and background, websites are designed as a kind of multimodal text with the combination of language, signs, audio and visual components, and presentation effects. In such a globalization era, most websites are bilingual, trilingual, or even multi-lingual. In this paper, attempts are made to study the generic structure potential (GSP) of the English introductory information pages of institution websites in Vietnam. The GSP analysis is based on Hasan’s (1985) framework. The aim of the analysis is to explore the obligatory, the optional, and the iterative elements, which together construct the GSP of these websites. From the findings, suggestions related to improving the quality and the functioning of the websites could then be drawn out.
METHODS FOR TRANSLATING IMPLICATURES IN QUESTIONS FROM GERMAN INTO VIETNAMESE
Authors: Thuy Le Thi Bich
Published: January 2019

This article presents the methods used when implicatures in German questions are translated into Vietnamese based on the analysis of questions with implicatures in the drama “Der Besuch der alten Dame” (The Visit/The Visit of the Old Lady) (Friedrich Dürrenmatt) and their equivalences in the translations “Bà lớn về thăm” (Pham Thi Hoai) and “Bà tỷ phú về thăm quê” (Le Chu Cau). The finding shows that the translators combined different translation methods to preserve implicatures in the original drama. The form of most questions wasn´t changed in the translations (they have question marks at the end of the sentence). The main methods are grammar transformations (eg. changing sentence structures, changing positions of components in the sentence) and semantic transformations (eg. changing style, interpreting, explaining the meaning of the words contained in the sentence, adding the adjectives at the end of the sentence to express the modal meaning, etc.). The study also shows that some questions in the original version were changed into declarative and imperative sentences. That means there were semantical transformations in the translations, namely transformation of speech act.

Introdução: O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) é uma doença inflamatória crônica, multissistêmica, de causa desconhecida e de natureza auto-imune e evolui com manifestações clínicas polimórficas, com períodos de exacerbações e remissões. A Esclerose Sistêmica (ES) é uma doença autoimune, de etiologia desconhecida, que afeta o tecido conjuntivo. A concomitância de síndromes que afetam o tecido conjuntivo já é conhecida, uma vez que as manifestações nem sempre são restritas as características de uma única doença. Detalhamento do caso: Paciente de 47 anos já diagnosticada com Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico estava em acompanhamento regular quando iniciou quadro de dispneia progressiva e disfagia. Foi internada para investigação clínica e observou-se em exame radiológico de imagem presença de fibrose pulmonar, além de esofagopatia. A paciente já possuía episódios frequentes de fenômeno de Reynoud e esclerodactilia. Com a evolução do quadro em associação com as alterações que a paciente já possuía foi fechado o diagnóstico de Esclerose Sistêmica em sobreposição ao quadro de Lúpus eritematoso sistêmico. Discussão: O Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico (LES) é uma complexa doença autoimune com um largo espectro clínico e imunológico. A ES pode acometer vários órgãos e sistemas, sendo a pele o órgão mais afetado, seguida dos pulmões, sistema musculoesquelético, rins, coração e trato gastrointestinal. A sobreposição dessas patologias configura um caso raro que demanda identificação rápida do profissional de saúde a fim de minimizar dados e complicações de ambas as patologias.

Review of Instructive Cases from the Zola Cooper and Lee T. Nesbitt Seminar
Authors: Marks Etan , Persad Leah , Cockerell Clay
Published: January 2019

Histopathological examination is considered to be the gold standard for diagnosis. However, research has shown that clinical correlation with pathological examination is crucial for the appropriate diagnosis. This is especially true in dermatology/dermatopathology where several entities can appear similar under the microscope, but are vastly different with their clinical presentation and vice versa. With this in mind, we mention the Zola Cooper- Lee T. Nesbitt Seminar that was established in 1954 and is the longest free standing clinical-pathologic conference still in existence. The purpose of the seminar is to serve as an educational conference designed to promote continuous excellence in the field of clinical dermatology and dermatopathology. Herein, we present six cases that were presented at the conference which highlight the importance of the clinical-pathological correlation in the practice of dermatology.

Authors: Hobson Julia Graham , Scott Glynis A , Mercurio Mary Gail
Published: January 2019

Cutaneous Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis (LCH) is considered a great clinical mimicker and affects the scalp and intertriginous regions although it may be generalized. Cutaneous LCH is commonly misdiagnosed and thus patients can receive inadequate or inappropriate treatment for considerable periods of time. We present a case report of a patient who had LCH that was masquareding as intertrigo for years. With the proper diagnosis the patient had a remarkable response to methotrexate. This case highlights the importance of keeping Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis (LCH) on the differential and once the diagnosis is made, evaluating for extracutaneous LCH.

Innovation has become critical success factor in many industries today and numerous scholars approve that it could be achieved through learning in organizations. Despite the availability of numerous researches on innovativeness and organizational learning in international context, there are limited studies that analyze the effect of learning on innovativeness in context of Pakistan. Specifically, the research is limited regarding mediating role of organizational learning between knowledge management, teamwork, emotional capability, and innovativeness; and the main purpose of this study was to fill this research gap. This study draws its framework mainly from resource based view, knowledge based view, and dynamic capability perspective. For this research, data was obtained through survey from managers in Pakistani SMEs operating in multiple sectors. The study performed its analyses using SmartPLS 3.0 based on 149 responses. The study concludes that organizational learning significantly mediates the relationship between knowledge management, teamwork, emotional capability, and innovativeness. The study provides valuable information for Pakistani SMEs about how they could enhance their innovative capability through learning capability.

Authors: Khan Abdul Qayyum , Hafeez Muhammad Haroon , Saleem Naima , Azam Muhammad
Published: January 2019

The broad objective of the present study is to investigate the impact of financial development along with some other variables namely GDP per capita, inﬂation rate, human capital, and trade openness for three developing Asian countries- Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. Annual time series data during the period 1980-2014 have been used for empirical investigation. After employing appropriate tests and estimation techniques, it is found that the financial development is statistically insignificant for all three countries, it implies that yet these developing countries are not efficiently allocating domestic private credit to poor segments of population. The results also reveal that inflation impedes income inequality for Bangladesh and India.  GDP growth rate is insignificant for India and Pakistan however it is significant for Bangladesh having statistically positive relationship with income inequality. It means that GDP growth rate is linked with growth of income of elite class rather than bottom segments of population. National income improves inequality for Bangladesh but have insignificant affect on income inequality for India and Pakistan. Similarly, trade openness is insignificant for India and Pakistan, however it is significant for Bangladesh having statistically positive relationship with income inequality, which indicates that there is increasing unemployment in these countries due to lesser employment opportunities for skilled and unskilled labour. Empirical results of human capital shows insignificancy for India and Pakistan where as it is significant for Bangladesh; hence revealing that these countries failed to optimally utilize their resources in educational sector.

Published: January 2019

The article analyzes the tax system adopted in the Scandinavian countries - Sweden, Denmark and Norway - in the context of identifying positive behaviors in ensuring optimal fiscal space in Ukraine. The paper outlines some peculiarities of the taxation mechanisms in the selected states and outlines the specifics of their functioning and development. It raises the notion of the dynamics of tax rates differentiation concerning separate taxes in the fiscal practice of the Scandinavian peninsula countries. In the process of studying the tax experience abroad, it was found out that tax burden in Sweden, Denmark and Norway is much higher than that in Ukraine, however, the presence of certain regulatory levers in socially oriented Scandinavian countries shifts tax payments into a real and minimal burden for payers.

The purpose of the article is to carry out a comparative analysis of tax systems of the Scandinavian countries and Ukraine in order to determine the priority directions for formation of an optimal fiscal space of our state.

Methodology. Empirical methods of comparative analysis are adopted to carry out an objective assessment of the fiscal space functioning in the Scandinavian countries and Ukraine. The tax systems differentiation processes are founded on a dialectical method of knowledge.

Conclusions. Tax systems in the Scandinavian countries are characterized by maximum adaptation of the methods for collecting tax payments to the needs of the effective functioning of tax entities and the requirements of modern society, and this could become a positive experience for the optimal fiscal space formation in Ukraine. The tax practice of Sweden, Denmark and Norway proves that the collected taxes are used effectively by the government entities, which allows them to be successfully implemented in a variety of social programs, at the same time providing certain conditions for growth in national business.
