The Influence of College Education on Children and Parents in Low-Income Families
Authors: Tighe Lauren Adams , Davis-Kean Pamela
Published: September 2019

Research in developmental psychology often contains samples where education and income are highly related. This study examines characteristics of low-income families who have at least one parent with a college education and how their children’s achievement and parenting practices compare to other types of families. Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study ‘98, 768 families were identified as low-income and college-educated. The majority of parents were White, working, and married, with high educational expectations. Children from low-income, college-educated families scored higher on achievement tests compared to children from low-income, less-educated and high-income, less-educated families. Compared to these same two types of families, low-income, college-educated parents were more involved in school and home activities, such as taking their child to libraries. The present findings extend understanding of, and confront common stereotypes about, families living in or near poverty. Even when lacking financial resources, education may provide a protective buffer for low-income families.
Social tariffs and democratic choice – do population-based health state values reflect the will of the people?
Authors: Schneider Paul
Published: September 2019

In economic evaluations of health technologies, health outcomes are commonly measured in terms of QALYs. QALYs are the product of time and health-related quality of life. Health-related quality of life, in turn, is determined by a social tariff, which is supposed to reflect the public’s preference over health states. This paper argues that, because of the tariff’s role in the societal decision making process, it should not be understood as merely a statistical model, but as a major instrument of democratic participation. I outline what implications this might have for both the method used to aggregate individual preferences, and the set of individuals whose preferences should count. Alternative tariff specifications are explored, and future research directions are proposed.
Contesting Urban Space between the Dutch and the Sultanate of Yogyakarta in Nineteenth-Century Indonesia
Authors: Basundoro Purnawan , Dian Putra Linggar Rama
Published: September 2019

This article focuses on the historical construction of what has recently been understood as the urban space of Indonesian colonial cities. Although studies on this topic have been carried out within various contexts, scholars generally take the concept of urban space for granted as a means to expand their arguments. Moreover, since the historical evidence shows that the domination of colonial power is contingent on several conditions including the economy, military actions, and local politics in the colonies, it becomes necessary for academics to reconceptualize Indonesian colonial urban histories. In this matter, the reconceptualization calls for more explanation of how colonial urban space was created during early colonial times in which the socio-political foundations of colonialism took place. This study traces the history of the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in the nineteenth century, and examines the transformation of urban space during the colonial conflict between the Dutch and the Kingdom of Yogyakarta. Economic, military, and political conditions shaped the development of urban space of Yogyakarta. The city was deeply influenced by Dutch colonial policies, including the introduction of colonial norms and values in an engineered urban space.
Three Points About History, Especially for Non-Historians
Authors: Kinsey Danielle C.
Published: September 2019

This is a practical essay meant especially for scholars trained in other disciplines or interdisciplinarians who want to “historicize” their topics but are unclear about historical methodology. It argues that historical scholarship, above all, pursues a rigorous understanding of how historical context creates transformation over time and historical contingency. Three subsections discuss the interpretive quality of history, historical context and contingency, and the archive as central to debates about historical explanations of the present. Each subsection includes advice for scholars who want to historicize their projects.
Historical Memory and Métis Political Resurgence inNew BreedMagazine, 1969–1979
Authors: Roth Cooley Hannah
Published: September 2019

This research explores the content of New Breed magazine, a publication of the Association of Métis and Non-Status Indians of Saskatchewan, during its first decade of production. It examines the magazine’s historical content, arguing that New Breed’s creators used historical memory to reinforce concepts of shared identity and community, and encourage modern political engagement from Métis readers. Analysis focuses on three key themes within the magazine: memories of the settlement of Batoche, the site of the final battle of the 1885 Northwest Resistance; the contribution of historical economies to the creation of the Métis nation, as well as their power in addressing modern industrialization of Indigenous territories; and discussions of historical figures, notably Louis Riel, who served as symbols of modern political struggles. Historical narratives at once sought to entertain and educate readers, and to inspire their participation in twentieth-century anti-colonial politics.

Authors: Juliana Enemuo Chinwe , Obiagelijacquilin Anyaduba , Benedeth Ezeaka Nonye
Published: September 2019

The purpose of the study is to identify the impact of the application of audiovisual aids in improving teaching and learning of computer science in Senior Secondary School in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State. Out of 1500 Secondary Schools in Awka North Local Government Area. Seventy (70) Students from Senior Secondary School (SS1) students were selected using random sampling technique to serve as the sample. Structured questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Mean and percentage were employed for data analysis. The major findings are that, Audio visual materials are not usually available for teaching and learning of computer science in senior secondary schools. Using audio visual materials in teaching and learning of computer science has positive effects on students’ academic performance. Audio visual aids have a lot of benefits in improving qualitative computer education in senior secondary schools. Government and other citizens should provide audio visual materials to secondary schools in Nigeria. Experienced and qualified computer science teachers at least with Nigeria Certificate in Nigeria (NCE) should be employed to teach in secondary schools in Nigeria. School authorities should always checkmate whether teachers make use of audio visual aids in teaching.
The Term “Tathagata” and the Situation of the Verbal Duel in Ancient India: Who is the Tathagata?
Authors: Vyrschikov Yevgeniy G.
Published: September 2019

This article concerns the origin of the early Buddhist term tathagata (on Pali and Sanskrit material). This way, if you judge according to the Pali Canon, is of ancient pre-Buddhist origin. The “Digha-Nikaya” Sutras provides us with a number of nontrivial contexts of the use of this word, allowing us to accurately establish its etymology and literal meaning. In addition, these contexts suggest a special connection of Tathagata (as an image of the Buddha) with “truth telling”.

Crystallisation of the metal in iie irons and possible meteorite analog
Authors: Teplyakova S. N. , Lorenz C. A.
Published: September 2019

The metal of the IIE irons has evidence of fractionation in the depths of the asteroid, but the presence of a fine-grained structure is incompatible with its endogenous origin. It was assumed that the metal underwent remelting on the surface of the parent body. Data on the mineragraphy, mineral and chemical composition of IIE irons (Elga, Verkhnodniprovsk, Tobychan, Miles and Watson) indicate that the relatively fine-grained metal structure and xenomorphic schreibersite grains were probably formed by crystallization from the melt. According to the calculated data on the bulk composition of the Elga metal and on the Fe-Ni-P phase diagrams, the crystallization of the first γ-Fe grains began at ~1511°С and ended at ~1060–1100°С with the formation of polygonal crystals of cm-sized taenite and xenomorphic schreibersite along their boundaries. The identical composition of xenomorphic schreibersite, both along the borders of the taenite grains and on the rims around nonmetallic inclusions, indicates their simultaneous formation. Among four generations of schreibersite, the xenomorphic schreibersite is distinguished by a high Fe/Ni ratio. It is also noted that the higher the crystallization temperature of schreibersite, the less nickel content in this schreibersite. Similar metal structures were found in other types of meteorites: in the IAB irons and in metal of some mesosiderites, and the impact mechanism of formation is considered the most likely for them. Thus, the mechanism of formation of the IIE irons by shock remelting of fractionated metal and mixing with silicate fragments in the conditions of the parent surface may have analogues among other types of meteorites.

Climate Change and the Free Marketplace of Ideas?
Authors: Hodgetts Matthew , McGravey Kevin
Published: September 2019

Climate change poses a significant danger that requires intervention today; climate denial poses a key challenge to meaningful timely intervention. In this paper, we argue that current free speech jurisprudence in the US inadequately addresses the risk of climate change because it is overly permissive of ‘professional’ climate denial and underappreciates the need to address the future harm of climate change today. We begin by clarifying the risk posed by the Supreme Court's current approach to speech with respect to climate change and, relatedly, reviewing the philosophical foundations of the marketplace of ideas found in the work of John Stuart Mill. Following this, we examine three potential ways in which Supreme Court jurisprudence could be used to limit what we term ‘professional climate change denial’ while permitting a degree of ‘private’ scepticism. Largely setting aside the return to earlier free speech jurisprudence and the extension of libel law, we offer a novel solution to the problem that suggests that ‘professional’ climate denial could be treated as a categorical exception under free speech jurisprudence and thus afforded a lower level of constitutional protection than other expression.
THE REAEARCH OF TREATMENT ACTIVITY OF COMBINED COMPOSITION OF RECTAL CREAM ON THE MODEL OF THE CHRONIC ANAL FISSURE
Authors: Zaychenko G.V. , Stakhorska M.O. , Khodakivskа O.V.
Published: September 2019

Relevance. The development of a new pharmaceutical composition, in the form of a rectal cream containing diltiazem, lidocaine and methyluracil, for the conservative treatment of a chronic anal fissure (KAT) is scientifically substantiated. But by this time in Ukraine none of the above local medicines has been produced, which would be in line with the current pathogenetic concept of HAT therapy. Thus, the introduction of a new domestic medicinal product for the purpose of import substitution in this pharmaco-therapeutic group is an urgent task of the pharmacological science.

Objective of the trial is to research the therapeutic effect of the rectal cream of the combined composition (RCCC) on the model of chronic anal fissure.

Materials and methods. Chronic anal fissures were reproduced using the method of Adieva R.F. with co-authors. The research was performed on 48 white nonlinear rats. Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of the rectal cream and the comparator was carried out daily during the experiment based on criteria of severity of the pathological process and data macroscopic observations, hematological and morphological examination, as well as the integral index, considered the death rate of the animals.

Results. The research allowed to determine that use of pharmaceutical composition which contains diltiazem, lidocaine and methyluracil in the experiment of chronic anal fissure leads to decreasing the severity of inflammation on 31 %, decreasing of the purulonecrotic complications on 57,1 % as well as improving the reparative processes of marginal epithelialization on 42,9 %.

Conclusion. The therapeutic effect of the investigated cream is most likely caused its ability to decrease the tone of the muscle fibers of the internal anal sphincter, normalize the microcirculation and stimulate cell proliferation. It was also concluded that the comparator product "Proctosan" is inferior to the investigated cream on the effectiveness and practically does not show a therapeutic effect on the model of chronic anal fissure.
The influence of paramedic qualification level on the administration of analgesia in the prehospital setting
Authors: Lord Bill , Keene Toby , Luck Cassie
Published: September 2019

Background

Undertreatment of pain has been reported in the paramedic literature, and reasons for these disparities are not well understood.

Aims

As the qualification level of the paramedic may affect analgesia administration, the primary aim of this study was to determine the impact of paramedic qualification on the provision of any analgesia for patients reporting pain.

Methods

Retrospective study of de-identified patient care records from one Australian ambulance service over a period of 6 months. Inclusion criteria were age was > 17 years, initial pain severity score was > 3/10 and Glasgow Coma Score >13. Data were descriptively analysed for analgesia administration and type of analgesic by predictor variables: age, sex, pain score and case nature. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to test for associations between the outcome of interest and predictor variables. Adjusted logged odds of patients receiving analgesia was tested with binomial logistic regression.

Findings

3173 patient records met the inclusion criteria. ICP treated 86% of the sample population. Of those treated by an AP, 76.2% (n=340) received analgesia, whereas 71.6% (n=1952) of patients treated by an ICP received analgesia (p=0.042). Methoxyflurane was the most frequently administered analgesic, with 39.9% of the patients (n=1,264) receiving this agent; 31.1% of patients (n=988) received morphine, and 14.2% (n=452) received fentanyl. The unadjusted regression model found that AP have higher odds of administering analgesia than ICP paramedics (OR 1.264, p <0.05). However, once other covariates are included in the logistic regression, the significance no longer exists.

Conclusion

Paramedic qualification is not associated with the administration of analgesia in this setting. This study contributes to the gap in knowledge regarding disparities in analgesia for adults experiencing pain and may inform future research that aims to identify and reduce barriers to appropriate pain management in the paramedic practice setting.

Iterated Local Search in Combinatorial Optimization Problem
Authors: Hasan Mehedi
Published: September 2019

Iterated local search (ILS) is a very powerful optimization method for continuous-valued numerical optimization. However, ILS has seldom been used to solve combinatorial integer-valued optimization problems. In this paper, the iterated local search (ILS) with random restarts algorithm is applied to solve combinatorial optimization problems, e.g., the classical weapon-target allocation (WTA) problem which arises from the military operations research. The mathematical model of the WTA problem is explained in detail. Then the idea of ILS with random restarts is explained. A comparison of the algorithm with several existing search approaches shows that the ILS outperforms its competitors on the tested WTA problem.
Improving Wireless Sensor Network Lifetime Using Self-Organizing Protocol
Authors: Mangali Charan
Published: September 2019

This paper proposes a E-cient Tree-based Self-organizing Protocol to improving wireless sensor network lifetime. all nodes are divided into two kinds: network nodes and non-network nodes Network nodes broadcast packets to select child nodes and non-network nodes collect packets to join in network. During the self-organization process we take hop, residual energy, number of child node and communication distance into account to calculate the weight of available sink nodes, and then select the node with max weight as sink node. After a non-network node joins the network successful it will work as a network node to searching child nodes. A tree network can be constructed one layer by one layer. For balancing energy consumption and prolonging network lifetime we adjust the topology dynamic. All experiments were done with NS2 Furthermore, the success rate of packet and Life time is much higher compared with LBT.

Radiocontrast-induced thyroid dysfunction prevalence has not been assessed accurately. It is greater among patients with pre-existing thyroid disease. Aim of this work to investigate effect of iodinated radiographic contrast media used in coronary angiography on the thyroid function in euthyroid patients. This study was conducted on 85 patients underwent elective coronary angiography. Baseline assessment of Free Thyroxine (FT4) and Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) for the patients and three months later after Coronary Angiography. We observed that there was a statistically significant increase of TSH levels from baseline till 3 months following administration of contrast media (P-value=0.007). However, there was no statistical significant difference of Free T4 level from baseline till 3 (P-value=0.765). The incidence of increased TSH above normal range was 2.4% after 3 months ( 2 subclinical hypothyroidism cases). We noticed that there were no effect of age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, type of contrast, creatinine level or GFR on increased the level of TSH above normal value after 3 months. So, administration of Iodinated Contrast Media (ICM) associated with thyroid dysfunction mainly subclinical hypothyroidism so we should closely monitor patients after receiving ICM especially who have thyroid dysfunction.

Frequency and Location of Mass Gathering Events in Relation to Emergency Departments: A Descriptive Study
Authors: Hutton Alison , Ranse Jamie , Lipscomb Rosie , Rabb Haddon , Crilly Julia , Hutton Geoff
Published: September 2019

Introduction

As the number of mass gathering events increases, so too does the reliance on tertiary emergency healthcare services. Approximately 1% of event attendees may present to a local emergency department for clinical assessment and/or management. Often, these attendees are transported by ambulance services. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and location of events held in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. This information may be used by event and health service personnel to further inform event planning such as staffing, equipment and economic considerations when large events in the community occur.

Methods

This descriptive study used data scraping of an established data warehouse to identify events held in the 2017 calendar year by name, type, location (within the state of NSW) and duration. Using Google Maps, the distance and travel time between these events and the nearest emergency department (ED) was determined. Data was analysed using simple descriptive statistics.

Results

Of the 722 events in NSW analysed, 395 were single-day events. The majority of these were concerts (n=284, 39%), followed by festivals (n=259, 36%) and sporting events (n=176, 24%). The average distance and time to arrive at an ED from an event was 15.0 (±35.8) kilometres and 15.4 (±27.2) minutes, respectively.

Conclusion

Existing literature has highlighted that event attendees are regularly transported to emergency departments from events. This research has demonstrated that events occur frequently with varying vicinity to nearest EDs, with the majority of events occurring near territory care centres. However, there is limited research on the impact on emergency healthcare services resulting from an event.

Tissue factor is highly expressed in sub-endothelial tissue. The extracellular allosteric disulfide bond Cys186-Cys209 of human tissue factor shows high evolutionary conservation and in vitro evidence suggests that it significantly contributes to tissue factor procoagulant activity. To investigate the role of this allosteric disulfide bond in vivo, we generated a C213G mutant tissue factor mouse by replacing Cys213 of the corresponding disulfide Cys190-Cys213 in murine tissue factor. A bleeding phenotype was prominent in homozygous C213G tissue factor mice. Pre-natal lethality of 1/3rd of homozygous offspring was observed between E9.5 and E14.5 associated with placental hemorrhages. After birth, homozygous mice suffered from bleedings in different organs and reduced survival. Homozygous C213G tissue factor male mice showed higher incidence of lung bleedings and lower survival rates than females. In both sexes, C213G mutation evoked a reduced protein expression (about 10-fold) and severely reduced pro-coagulant activity (about 1000-fold). Protein glycosylation was impaired and cell membrane exposure decreased in macrophages in vivo. Single housing of homozygous C213G tissue factor males reduced the occurrence of severe bleeding and significantly improved survival, suggesting that inter-male aggressiveness might significantly account for the sex differences. These experiments show that the tissue factor allosteric disulfide bond is of crucial importance for normal in vivo expression, post-translational processing and activity of murine tissue factor. Although C213G tissue factor mice do not display the severe embryonic lethality of tissue factor knock-out mice, their postnatal bleeding phenotype emphasizes the importance of fully functional tissue factor for hemostasis.

Diabetes increases the risk and worsens the progression of cognitive impairment. The hippocampus is an important domain for learning and memory. We previously showed that endothelin-1 (ET-1) reduced diabetes-induced inflammation in hippocampal neurons, suggesting a neuroprotective effect. Given that neurons and endothelial cells within the neurovascular unit depend on each other for proper function, we investigated the effect of ET-1 on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) synthesis, a key neurotrophin and prosurvival factor, in neuronal (HT22 hippocampal neurons) and brain microvascular endothelial (BMEC-5i) cells under normal and diabetes-mimicking (high glucose plus palmitate) conditions. Cells were treated with exogenous ET-1 or ET receptor antagonists including ETB receptor selective antagonist BQ788 (1 µM) or dual-receptor antagonist bosentan (10 µM). Mature (m)BDNF, proBDNF and caspase-3 levels were measured by Western blotting. Diabetic conditions reduced the prosurvival mBDNF/proBDNF ratio in both HT22 and BMEC-5i cells. Addition of exogenous ET-1 had no effect on the BDNF system in HT22 cells in diabetic conditions. Both HT22 and BMEC-5i cells had an increase in the mBDNF/proBDNF ratio when grown in diabetes-simulating conditions in the presence of endothelin receptor inhibition. These data suggest that blockade of ET-1 may provide neuroprotection to hippocampal cells through the modulation of the BDNF system.

The endothelin axis (endothelins and their receptors) is strongly involved in physiological and pathological processes. ET-1 plays a crucial role in particular in tumor diseases. Endothelin-1 receptors (ETA and ETB) are deregulated and overexpressed in several tumors such as melanoma and glioma. We studied the binding of 24 monoclonal antibodies directed against human ETB receptors (hETB) to different melanoma cell lines. Few of these mAbs bound to all the melanoma cell lines. One of them, rendomab B49, bound to ETB receptors expressed at the surface of human glioma stem cells. More recently, we produced new antibodies directed against human ETA receptor (hETA). Several antibodies have been isolated and have been screened on different tumoral cells lines. As for the mAbs directed against the hETB receptor only some of new antibodies directed against ETA receptor are capable to bind the human tumoral cell lines. Rendomab A63 directed against hETA is one of them. We report the specificity and binding properties of these mAbs and consider their potential use in diagnosis by an in vivo imaging approach.

Published: September 2019

Hydroponics of fodder production allows to deliver on an industrial basis cultivation of high quality green forage. Merits and demerits of hydroponics are shown. Standardization of the "know-how" and hydroponic fodder quality is necessary to get the forage of preset properties. The basic attention in a review is given to quality indicators to be standardised and namely to organoleptic signs, dry matter content, metabolizable energy, crude protein, non structural carbohydrates. Terms and definitions of «hydroponic fodder» and its separate components are definately designated. On the basis of numerous sources it is established, that a content of the basic nutrients in hydroponic fodders are varying over a wide range: dry matter – from 100 to 400 g in 1 kg of a forage, crude protein — from 76 to 367 g/kg DM, crude fiber – from 168 to 228 g/kg DM, crude fat — from 19 to 76 g/kg DM, crude ash — from 17 to 107 g/kg DM. Such range of concentration of nutrients allows to form a quality gradation. Data of a zootechnical evaluation of hydroponic fodder in rations of various animal kinds are cited.

Resistance to Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is an economically important trait in many wheat-breeding programs across the world. Several quantitative trait loci (QTL) for STB resistance were identified in wheat but due to the dynamic pathogen population it is necessary to continuously identify new resistance genes/QTL and determine the underlying resistance mechanism. In this work, we integrated QTL mapping and transcriptome profiling to identify candidate genes underlying QTL associated with STB resistance in bread wheat at the seedling stage. The results revealed four QTL on chromosomes 1BS, 1BL, 3AS and 3DL for STB resistance. Among these, two QTL on 2BL and 3DL were mapped for chlorosis, necrosis and pycnidia while the other two on 1BS and 3AS were associated with necrosis and pycnidia. Among the four identified QTL, genes were identified in three QTL (1BS, 2BL and 3DL). In total, 238 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were localized in 1BS, 16 DEGs in 2BL and 80 DEGs in 3DL QTL region respectively. F-box protein, NBS-LRR disease resistance genes and receptor-like protein kinase were the most over-represented. The results emphasize the importance of integrating QTL and transcriptome analysis to accelerate the identification of key genes underlying the traits of interest.
