BACKGROUND: the study of molecular genetic markers and pathogenetic mechanisms of neurohormonal activation, as well as their importance in the formation of heart failure in obesity, is an urgent problem of modern medicine, the solution of which will allow effective prevention of cardiovascular complications, optimize treatment and improve the prognosis of obese patients.
AIMS: search for genetic markers presumably involved in the pathogenesis of secondary diastolic heart failure in patients with obesity.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: PCR-diagnostics of whole blood of 104 patients with obesity was carried out, which were divided into 2 groups, depending on the presence of diastolic heart failure. The following candidate genes were analyzed: angiotensinogen AGT gene (C521T and T704C), angiotensin II receptor gene of the first type AGTR1 (A1166C), angiotensin II receptor gene of the second type AGTR2 (G1675A), aldosterone synthase gene CYP11B2 (C (-344) T).
RESULTS: It is shown that the development of secondary diastolic heart failure in obese individuals of both sexes is associated with the mutation of the aldosterone synthase gene CYP11B2, namely, with the replacement of the C allele at the -344 position by the T allele and the presence of the T / T genotype. The relative risk of developing the disease with the T / T genotype was 5.93 times higher in men (p = 0.008) and 4.57 times in women (p = 0.014). For men, the mutation of the angiotensinogen AGT gene, namely the replacement of the allele C at position 521 by the T allele, is important. At the same time, the relative risk of development of SDS in the T / T genotype is increased by 4.26 times (p = 0.039). Mutations of the genes of the angiotensin II receptor of the first type AGTR1 (A1166C) and the angiotensin II receptor of the second type AGTR2 (G1675A) are not associated with the development of diastolic heart failure in obese patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The data presented can be used to stratify the risk of secondary heart failure in obese individuals.

Published: June 2019

This study aimed to determine the role of
social studies lesson in oral and written cultural transmission according to
the opinions of social studies teachers. This study was designed as a case
study under qualitative research method. The participants of the study included
16 social studies teachers chosen through convenience sampling under purposeful
sampling methods and employed in secondary school located in the city center of
Karabuk Province in 2016-2017 education year and spring term. The data of the
study were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed by the
searchers depending on the expert opinions. The data of the study were analyzed
through content analysis and the results yielded two fundamental dimensions.
These were (1) social studies course in written and oral culture transmission
and (2) social studies course together with other courses in the oral culture
transmission. Some of the participant teachers found the class effective for
the oral and written transmission because of its content and its literary
language, however some stated that the class did not include all some of the
cultural elements. Depending on the results of the current study, it is
reasonable to suggest that teachers as practitioners and policy makers should
design oral and written cultural elements, as the program prescribes, and make
use of them in the teaching process.

Authors: Mulyadi Achmad
Published: June 2019

THIS -- paper seeks to reveal the meaning of tradition in the Muslim’s ritual in Sumenep Madura which is understood as a local or popular ritual, associated with the determination of the calendar in Islam. This ritual, when expressed and understood in practice, is always based on the popularization of calendar names in local-based Islam with certain insights and meanings. With this deductive-inductive explorative approach, this paper explain to three popular ritual praxis of the Sumenep Madurese. Firstly, the practice of the death ritual that was intended as a repentance to God for self and “al-marhum”, ties the brotherhood, and effective for Islamic preaching. Secondly, the ritual practice of “Peret Kandung” is a ritual of the first pregnancy for husband and wife entering the seventh month which is meant as a symbol of purification, so that the born child will survive and truly become sholeh child who boast of parents. Third, “sonat ritual” is a continuation of initiation ritual in Sumenep only for boys which is meant as a ritual as well as da'wah media for islamization.

Published: June 2019

Bullying among students, especially high school students are still common. Acts of violence in schools involve both senior and junior. The seniors’ role of displaying seniority is to teach the juniors manners and discipline. But there are many seniors who abuse the terms of seniority by acting arbitrarily to their juniors. This article will explain how bullying can be considered as a field of power contestation. This study uses several techniques of ethnographic methods, namely, direct observation, interview, and literature. Researchers used indirect observation because informants are reluctant to commit acts of violence when there are other people outside their group. Based on the results of the research, capital are at stake for the actors to reach the prize, such as honor, fame, and material. Bullying behavior that occurs in SMA E Jakarta continues because of an understanding that they have to continue what has been instilled by their seniors before, such as the rules for class X are always imposed from year to the next one.

Published: June 2019

Monel handicrafts grow and develop in Jepara district. It has characteristic that the skill of making monel art is preserved from generation to generation. Its ability to survive was influenced by how much the support of community. Community care and love for the craft can support the existance and development of monel handicraft.  The process of descending monel crafts has the advantage that each family as a monel craft business unit has its own characteristics and competitiveness. On the other hand, there is no formal container for learning these skills. This makes monel crafts less open to a wider regeneration process. Even though regeneration really determines the development in the future. Looking at the current development of the craft, efforts to make a more open regeneration process seem necessary. Through this paper, the author try to find steps that can be taken by the supporting community and the Regional Government to form a formal and informal container. It is intended that interested people have access to learn about this craft. Regeneration is carried out to maintain the continuity and development of monel crafts.

Este trabalho tem como propósito investigar através do método Design Construtal a influência geométrica de uma cavidade aletada em forma de ‘E’ inserida em um corpo sólido com geração interna de calor. O objetivo principal do estudo é a obtenção da geometria da cavidade que conduz a uma menor temperatura máxima no sistema. Também são obtidas configurações ótimas para diferentes frações de área entre o corpo condutor, cavidade e aleta. O sistema foi assumido como bidimensional e as condições de temperatura prescrita e convectiva foram consideradas nas paredes da cavidade e aleta. A solução numérica do problema foi obtida com a ferramenta PDETOOL, Partial Differential Equations Tool, do software MATLAB®, que resolve a equação da difusão do calor pelo método dos elementos finitos. O método Design Construtal mostrou-se adequado para a obtenção das configurações geométricas ótimas do sistema, uma vez que a temperatura máxima do corpo aquecido foi minimizada, tornando possível a obtenção de uma configuração que equilibrou a distribuição de temperaturas no sistema a favor da função objetivo, atendendo assim, aos princípios da Teoria Construtal. Além disso, constatou-se que os resultados otimizados apresentaram ganhos de performance de até 74% em relação aos casos de menor desempenho avaliados.

Este trabalho busca avaliar geometricamente, através do Design Construtal, um caminho de alta condutividade a fim de melhor distribuir o campo de temperaturas diminuindo a maior temperatura observada em um domínio com geração de calor e de baixa condutividade. Para a análise numérica deste estudo, foi utilizado o software MATLAB junto com a ferramenta PDETOOL (Partial Differential Equation Toolbox). O caminho condutivo possui uma forma de seta, ou seja, composto por uma parte retangular com razão de medidas variáveis e uma parte triangular de área fixa. O problema passa a ter três restrições de área com seis variáveis, resultando em três graus de liberdade, H/L, H0/L0 e H1/L1, sendo que apenas H0/L0 varia. As simulações numéricas foram feitas para três diferentes condutividades, considerando quatro valores de fração de área preestabelecidos. Foi possível obter a geometria do caminho condutivo que melhor distribui o campo de temperaturas, resultando na minimização da temperatura máxima. Observouse nas três diferentes condutividades que, quanto maior a distribuição da área ocupada pelo material de alta condutividade em relação à área da placa, melhor distribuída será a temperatura, resultando na redução da temperatura máxima observada. Constatou-se também que a mais baixa condutividade térmica analisada, apresentou a menor temperatura máxima à medida que a razão do grau de liberdade foi aumentando. Já a maior condutividade térmica analisada apresentou menor temperatura máxima à medida que a razão do grau de liberdade foi diminuindo.
Berestycki-Lions conditions on ground state solutions for a Nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable potentials
Authors: Chen Sitong , Tang Xianhua
Published: June 2019

This paper is dedicated to studying the nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form

$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\triangle u+V(x)u=f(u), & x\in \mathbb{R}^N; \\ u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{array} \right. \end{array}$$

whereV∈ 𝓒1(ℝN, [0, ∞)) satisfies some weak assumptions, andf∈ 𝓒(ℝ, ℝ) satisfies the general Berestycki-Lions assumptions. By introducing some new tricks, we prove that the above problem admits a ground state solution of Pohožaev type and a least energy solution. These results generalize and improve some ones in [L. Jeanjean, K. Tanka, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 54 (2005), 443-464], [L. Jeanjean, K. Tanka, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131 (2003) 2399-2408], [H. Berestycki, P.L. Lions, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 82 (1983) 313-345] and some other related literature. In particular, our assumptions are “almost” necessary whenV(x) ≡V∞> 0, moreover, our approach could be useful for the study of other problems where radial symmetry of bounded sequence either fails or is not readily available, or where the ground state solutions of the problem at infinity are not sign definite.

We prove the existence of ground state positive solutions for a class of semipositonep-Laplacian problems with a critical growth reaction term. The proofs are established by obtaining crucial uniformC1,αa priori estimates and by concentration compactness arguments. Our results are new even in the semilinear casep= 2.
Shear failure modes and AE characteristics of sandstone and marble fractures
Authors: Guo Baohua , Dong Hangyu
Published: June 2019

To study the shear failure modes of rock fractures with different morphologies, rock types and test conditions, direct shear tests were conducted with the aid of an acoustic emission test system to obtain the characteristics of acoustic emissions in the shear process. The test results indicated that sandstone fractures experienced brittle shear failure under higher constant normal loads (15-30 kN) and plastic shear failure under lower normal loads (5 kN and 10 kN), while the marble fracture experienced plastic shear failure under each normal load. Dropping of shear stress, sharp change from shear dilatation to shear shrinkage and sudden release of high AE energy could be found when brittle shear failure occurred in sandstone fracture under a higher normal load. Thus, combining the location evolution characteristics of acoustic emission, it can be concluded that the entire shear dislocation of sandstone fracture in brittle shear failure mode happened just after the peak under higher normal loads. However, the entire shear dislocation of sandstone fracture under lower normal loads and marble fracture under all normal loads occurred just at the beginning of the shear process.
The Influence of Slope Geometry on its Stability: Spatial and Plane Analysis
Authors: Zabuski Lesław
Published: June 2019

The paper presents the results of numerical calculations of the stability and deformation process of several idealized slopes performed by the elasto-plastic finite difference method, using the commercial codes FLAC3D and FLAC2D. The results of 3D analysis of these slopes are compared with those obtained by the 2D method. The behaviour of slopes of different shapes and inclinations was analyzed. The calculations were carried out for flat, concave and convex slopes inclined at 30°, 45° and 60°, taking into account the influence of the lateral constraints of the slope. Two variants of the medium were analysed, i.e. the mass with no friction and with no cohesion. A comparison of 3D calculation results with those obtained by the 2D limit equilibrium analysis indicates that the 3D approach produces almost always higher safety factors than does the 2D method.
Transport of Fine Sediments in MarineWaterbodies Near River Mouths: Preliminary Results
Authors: Cerkowniak Grzegorz R. , Kowalewski Marek
Published: June 2019

Transport of fine sediments depends mainly on the efficiency of flocculation. Flocculation, understood as the result of simultaneous processes of aggregation of particles and floc break-up, is a common phenomenon in marine environments. It is typical of fine sediments. This study presents a mathematical model of fine sediment transport. A model of flocculation is an important part of this model. Its main assumption is that flocculation is governed by turbulence. The model was qualitatively tested in a simplified theoretical waterbody. Such factors as the wind direction, wind speed, river discharge and concentration of suspension in the river were investigated. The results show that the proposed model describes reasonably well the lithodynamic processes characteristic of fine flocculating sediments. Thus it seems possible to apply it for description of fine sediment transport under real wave–current conditions that occur in many marine waterbodies near river mouths.
Temporary Agency Work and Firm Performance: A Replication Study with Extensions

Published: June 2019

The authors analyze the nexus between temporary agency work (TAW) and firm performance. Compared to Hirsch and Mueller (2012, The Productivity Effect of Temporary Agency Work: Evidence from German Panel Data. Economic Journal 122 (562): F216-F235) and Nielen and Schiersch (2014, Temporary Agency Work and Firm Competitiveness: Evidence from German Manufacturing Firms. Industrial Relations 53: 365–393), the authors support a concave relationship between the TAW share and productivity, but find a convex relationship between the TAW share and unit labor costs, instead of a u-shape. Moreover, a new finding is that the correlation between the TAW share and profitability is only moderate.

Published: June 2019

Background

To investigate the clinical and molecular characteristics of Chinese children with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY).

Methods

A total of 42 Chinese patients suspected MODY referred to our unit from 2014 to 2018 were enrolled. Mutational analysis of monogenic diabetes mellitus genes was performed by next-generation sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

Results

There were 28 males (66.7%) and 14 females (33.3%) with a mean age of 9.49 ± 3.46 years (range, 1.4–15.3 years) and a mean birth weight of 3.38 ± 0.49 kg (range, 2.55–4.90 kg). Among these patients, 15 patients had polyuria, polydipsia or weight loss. Two patients (4.8%) were obese and six (14.3%) were overweight. Moreover, 13 patients (30.9%) had a family history of diabetes. Thirty variants were identified in 28 patients. Twenty-six variants in 25 patients were pathogenic or likely pathogenic genes (59.5%, 25/42), including 15 patients (60.0%, 15/25) withGCKmutation, four (16.0%, 4/25) withPAX4mutation, three (12.0%, 3/25) withHNF4Amutation, one (4.0%, 1/25) withINSmutation, one (4.0%, 1/25) withNEUROD1mutation and one (4.0%, 1/25) withHNF1Amutation. Nine mutations (36.0%, 9/25) were novel. There was no difference between mutation-suspected patients and MODY-confirmed patients except for a 2-h glucose increment in an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), while theGCK-MODY had lower glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and a significantly smaller 2-h glucose increment in an OGTT compared with transcription factor MODYs. TheGCK-MODY was identified by incidental hyperglycemia without glycosuria.GCK-MODY without drug management and hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha (HNF4A) orHNF1A-MODY with sulfonylurea therapy obtained good glucose controlling.

Conclusions

Mutation of theGCKgene is the most common in MODY patients in China followed byPAX4. The screening criteria can improve the cost-effectiveness of disease diagnosis and treatment. A precise molecular diagnosis would lead to optimal treatment of the patients.
How flexible are idioms? A corpus-based study
Authors: Fellbaum Christiane
Published: June 2019

Idioms are a compelling subject of study for linguists, lexicographers and psycholinguists due to their seemingly idiosyncratic status as lexical units that pose challenges for integration into accepted grammatical frameworks. The literature reveals much disagreement on the semantic compositionality, syntactic flexibility and lexical variation of both specific idioms and idioms as a class. We analyze some of the sources for the disparate analyses, which are most often based on judgments of constructed rather than attested examples. Relying solely on corpus data from English and German that shows a wide range of syntactic and lexical variation independent of semantic compositionality, we argue that speakers’ use of idioms is in fact compatible with the rules governing freely composed language.

This article is based on a talk given at the BSGL 2015 meeting on idioms in Brussels (Fellbaum 2015b).

Die Seidenstraße. Konnektivität als Motor von „Grobalization“ und „Glocalization“ am Beispiel des chinesischen Buddhismus
Authors: Steinwender Clemens Leopold
Published: June 2019

The following paper deals with the connectivity of the Silk Roads and how these networks function as a driving force of globalizing phenomena, especially of Grobalization and Glocalization, demonstrated by the example of Chinese Buddhism. It will examine the advent of Buddhism and its spread via the Silk Roads, the Chinese response to this new religion, the pilgrim journeys of Chinese monks to India, and the case study of Dunhuang. As will be shown, the networks of the Silk Roads formed a stable basis for the spread of Buddhism to China, amongst other things due to their continuity and the support of official and private institutions.
Von einer „Imperatorix“ zu einer „mulier clara“. Kaiserin Konstanze im Spiegel von „Liber ad honorem Augusti sive de rebus siculis“ und „De claris mulieribus“
Authors: Csillag Paul Andreas
Published: June 2019

The following paper discusses the image of the Staufer empress Konstanze. This important political person was described in two books. On the one hand, Peter of Eboli draws her as a female heroine; on the other hand, the famous writer Giovanni Boccaccio projected his misogyny on her. Their depictions of Konstanze differ enormously due to various ideological mindsets. This text shows how a person herself can become a political term.
Zwischen Dynastie, Kalifat und Scharia. Eine interdisziplinäre Betrachtung der Herrschaftslegitimation im frühneuzeitlichen Osmanischen Reich und der heutigen Türkei
Authors: Ascher Julian Ludwig
Published: June 2019

This paper discusses types of legitimation in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire and their continuity in today’s Turkey under president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Proceeding from a theoretical examination of the concept of legitimation, this paper shows the diversity of legitimation strategies in an interdisciplinary analysis, accentuating those that Erdogan uses to consolidate his power and bring Turkey back “to former greatness”. As will be demonstrated, Erdogan utilizes particular forms, such as religious legitimation or large-scale building projects, in order to achieve legitimacy similar to that of the Ottoman rulers.
Die Akte Margarethe Babka Geschütztes Leben in einer „Mischehe“?
Authors: Walser Raphaela
Published: June 2019

The following paper is about the Jewish woman Margarethe Babka, who lived in a so-called „protected mixed marriage“ („Mischehe“) during National Socialism in Tyrol. The status of being a protected Jew was said to be a protection from deportations, anti-Jewish laws or from detention in concentration camps. The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, the biographical work will provide background data to a research project at the Department of Contemporary History of the University of Innsbruck, reconstructing the life of Jewish hybrids and „mixed marriages“ in the Gau Tyrol-Vorarlberg between 1938 and 1945; secondly, it will question the aspect of protection in the life of Jews living in a „Mischehe“ during National Socialism in Tyrol by portraying the story of Margarethe Babka.

The following paper traces the political and ideological impacts on Alpinism between 1900 and 1945. For this, it not only scrutinises the increase in radical attitudes – and in particular the notion of „Deutschtum“ – in Austrian alpine clubs. It also deconstructs the idealisation of mountains and alpine life in movies of the time as well as their instrumentalisation by the National Socialists.
Hotly Debated Ice
Authors: Fedman David , Hood Martin
Published: June 2019

This article maps the controversy over whether and where glaciers once flowed through the Japanese Alps. Focusing on the first decades of this century-long debate, we examine how a small-scale revolution in geological thinking was shaped by the particular institutional constraints and alpine enthusiasms of Meiji Japan (1868–1912). To do so, we turn to Yamasaki Naomasa and Kojima Usui—close friends and pioneers in their respective fields of geography and mountaineering—to show how alpinism helped to launch glaciology as a scientific discipline in Japan. By chronicling the hunt for evidence of ancient glaciers, we further reveal how the Japanese Alpine Club formed a vital forum for the glacier debate pending the emergence of a community of professional glaciologists.
Zum inkonsistenten Inhalt des Geschäftsmodellbegriffs in IFRS 9
Authors: Krauß Felix
Published: June 2019

Obwohl innerhalb der IFRS keine explizite Begriffsdefinition des Geschäftsmodells erfolgt, ist dennoch eine einheitliche Verwendung des Terms in IFRS 9 grundsätzlich wünschenswert. Allerdings lässt sich auf Grundlage der Kategorisierungsvorschriften auf der einen und der Umgliederungsvorschriften auf der anderen Seite ein jeweils abweichender Inhalt des Geschäftsmodellbegriffs ableiten, was die allgemein mit dem Begriff verbundenen Verständnisprobleme befördert. Dem kommt auch eine aufsichtsrechtliche Relevanz dahingehend zu, als dass die aufsichtsrechtliche Anlage- bzw. Handelsbuchzuordnung grundsätzlich konsistent zum Geschäftsmodell des IFRS 9 erfolgen sollte. Ein einheitlicher Begriffsinhalt wäre dabei bereits durch eine nur geringfügige, klarstellende Änderung des Standards zu erreichen.
Quero um caixãozinho: a morte de crianças em contos de Mia Couto e Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Pereira Marcos Aparecido , Magalhães Epaminondas De Matos , Almeida Marinei
Published: June 2019

Este trabalho apresenta a análise comparada dos contos A menina de lá, de Guimarães Rosa e O rio das Quatro Luzes, de Mia Couto que giram em torno de uma mesma temática. Ambos mostram a morte sob a perspectiva de uma criança, apresentando facetas surpreendentemente interessantes para os leitores, por meio de construções miméticas que fazem fantasiar e refletir sobre as maneiras como lidamos com o fim. Assim, no trabalho que se segue buscaremos avaliar os elementos que permeiam a vida e o inesperado desejo de morte de um menino e de uma menina em dois contextos distintos. São narrativas que levam o leitor a ponderar de que forma a morte pode ser poética, ainda que acometendo crianças. Além disso, o leitor é impelido ao aprofundamento de suas próprias experiências relacionadas à temática e convidado a aprimorar sua compreensão do mundo infantil e da morte. Desta forma, nos contos dos dois autores temos a possibilidade de perceber a morte sob o olhar de duas crianças em diferentes contextos e perspectivas sociais. E a partir dessas construções traçar algumas reflexões a respeito da morte, sua representação e a maneira como é encarada pelas personagens infantis nas narrativas.  *** I want a little coffin: the death of children in Mia Couto and Guimarães Rosa short stories ***This article shows the comparative analysis of the tales A menina de lá (The girl from there), by Guimarães Rosa and O rio das Quatro Luzes (The River of the Four Lights), by Mia Couto that revolve around the same theme. Both show death from the perspective of a child, presenting facets surprisingly interesting to readers, through mimetic constructions that make them fantasize and reflect about how we dead with the end. Thus, in this work, we will seek to evaluate the elements that permeate the life and the unexpected death wish of a boy and a girl in two different contexts. These are narratives that lead the reader to consider how death can be poetic, even though it affects children. In addition, the readers are encouraged to deepen their own experiences related to the theme and they are invited to enhance their understanding of the children’s world children and of death.Keywords: children; death; experiences; thoughts.

Negotiation Processes of “Pentecostal” and “Evangelical” Identity in Costa Rica
Authors: Kurzewitz Nora
Published: June 2019

Pentecostal identity in Costa Rica is determined by its relationship to Catholicism. Those who currently are referred to as "Pentecostal" refer to themselves as "Evangelical" or as "Christian". Thus they distinguish themselves from Catholics, whom they pejoratively call "religious". This boundary creates a sense of identity for Evangelical Pentecostals and non-Pentecostals. At the same time, Evangelical Pentecostals are connected with Catholic Pentecostals in local history and present local discourse. Unravelling these complex name politics, this article illustrates how political dynamics on the local level along with their global entanglement shape Pentecostal self-understandings. It concludes that in order to study "Pentecostalism" adequately it is necessary not to operate with essentialist definitions but to contextualize it genealogically.
Pentecostal or Born Again?
Authors: Bachmann Judith
Published: June 2019

In recent years, the label "Pentecostal" has been applied widely and rather unquestioned to churches in Nigeria. Yet, in the 1990s and 2000s, a proposal was issued to study Nigerian Pentecostals in terms of their most common designation on the ground as the "born again" movement. Building on this approach based on observations from fieldwork in southwestern Nigeria, the article argues that the identification as "born again" was much more common than "Pentecostal", which held almost no significance on its own and did thus not really distinguish groups from each other. The emphasis on the "born again" experience, however, was widespread but also served to demarcate "real" or "committed" Christians from "corrupted" ones. This demarcation was upheld against mission churches, white garment churches and especially traditional healing practices as the source of the supposed "corruption". The article thus contends that even the study of "born again" Christianity, though based on field observations more compelling than that of "Pentecostalism", needs to consider the concrete and contextual boundaries drawn to establish identities such as "born again" and/or "Pentecostal".

Study on the Features of Professional Self-Determination of the Gifted Youth (On the Example of the Working Youth of the Tyumen Region)
Authors: Gulyaeva Lyudmila , Efimova Galina
Published: June 2019

The gifted youth аre a strategic intellectual resource for the development of all countries in the long term. The priority direction of activity concerning the formation of creative potential of the gifted youth representatives is the creation of conditions for the actualization of their creative abilities and interests in the course of their professional determination. The purpose of this theoretical and applied research is to study the factors affecting the professional selfdetermination of representatives of gifted youth, as well as to identify the most significant features of this process. The authors analyzed the results of theoretical works of domestic and foreign researchers; they studied official statistical data. As the methodological basis of their research the authors suggest a questionnaire survey of 956 representatives of the working youth, conducted in 2017 in the cities of Tyumen, Tobolsk, Ishim. The licensed version of IBM SPSS Statistics 23 was used to analyze empirical data. Investigating the issue the researchers found out that the presence of young people with high abilities in any field during training at school and institutions of the secondary vocational and higher education contributes to the choice of their work on the profile of education in future, as well as a higher assessment of their personal and competitive potential, professional competence. At the same time, respondents from this group express great interest in moving to another country, despite concerns about the future of Russia. The authors confirm the assumption, that respondents have higher abilities in a certain area contributes to a more active process of their professional self-determination, greater stability and depth of their professional interests in the chosen field of activity. The results obtained in the course of the study may be useful for teachers and psychologists engaged in career guidance activities in the framework of work with gifted children and adolescents, as well as representatives of secondary professional and higher education organizations to develop effective measures of career guidance in relation to applicants.

Published: June 2019

RESUMO Objetivo: investigar o impacto da cirurgia bariátrica no escore de cálcio coronariano (ECC) e estabelecer fatores preditivos de progressão desse escore em pacientes obesos. Métodos: estudo prospectivo de 18 pacientes obesos antes e depois da cirurgia bariátrica. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à tomografia computadorizada e a exames laboratoriais com dosagens sanguíneas de colesterol total, LDL, HDL, triglicerídeos, glicose de jejum, A1C, insulina, cálcio sérico, peptídeo C e proteína C-reativa, para determinar o ECC e o escore de risco de Framingham (ERF). Resultados: o ERF reduziu 50% entre as avaliações pré e pós-operatórias. O ECC médio aumentou significativamente no período pós-operatório, aumentando de 8,5 para 33,1. Os níveis de HDL também aumentaram no pós-operatório. Todas as outras variáveis quantitativas reduziram significativamente no pós-operatório. Ao estratificar o ECC em quatro categorias, foi observado que 22,2% da amostra apresentou ECC=0 no pós-operatório. A prevalência de ECC leve reduziu de 77,8% para 50%, enquanto que ECC moderado permaneceu igual no pré e no pós-operatório (11,1%). ECC grave aumentou de 11,1% para 16,7%. Idade avançada foi associada à progressão do ECC, e essa foi a única variável que apresentou correlação estatística com a progressão do ECC. Conclusão: cirurgia bariátrica produz desfechos cardiovasculares positivos, que, aparentemente, ocorrem de forma independente do ECC.
Establishment of homogeneous zones in a soil of alluvial origin

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT Soils have the ability to maintain plant growth and biological activity due to their physical and chemical properties. The aim of this study was to observe the spatial distribution of some chemical properties of the soil, such as pH, organic matter (OM), electrical conductivity (EC), effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC), sulfur (S) and aluminum (Al) content and to establish zones with homogeneous chemical characteristics using the MULTISPATI-PCA technique and the fuzzy c-means algorithm. The study area was located in the Tundama and Sugamuxi Valleys (Boyacá, Colombia) with an area of 8,017 ha. Chemical properties such as pH, OM, EC, S, Al, and ECEC were indicators of the chemical degradation of these soils. Four homogeneous zones were identified. The first zone represents areas with acidity and excessive sulfur, with a pH of 4.54, 15.88% OM, 3.19 dS m-1 EC, 2.47 meq 100 g-1 Al and 365.59 meq 100 g-1 S. In contrast, the second zone represents areas with a high self-neutralizing capacity, with a pH of 5.98, 4.22% OM, 0.75 dS m-1 EC, 0.20 meq 100 g-1 Al and 44.64 meq 100 g-1 S. Zone three showed a high similarity with the first two, except for its EC and S contents. Finally, zone four showed similarity with the first, except in OM, EC and S contents. These data show that S and EC influenced the homogeneous zones because the soils in this area are called acid sulfate soils.
PEDIATRIC APPENDICITIS: AGE DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the influence of patient age on the diagnosis and management of appendicitis, as well as to evaluate the rate of complications according to the age group. Methods: We undertook a retrospective analysis of 1,736 children who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy in our center between January 2000 and December 2013. Patients were divided in groups taken into account their age: group A were infants, group B were preschoolers, group C were those ones older than five years old, and group D were those ones younger than five years old. A p value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: We found higher incidence of misdiagnosis and atypical symptoms in the youngest patients. The rate of perforation was similar between group A and B (p=0.17). However, it was higher in group D than in group C (p<0.0001). The incidence of postoperative complications was higher in the youngest patients too (p=0.0002). Conclusions: The age does make a difference in acute appendicitis. Because of its unusual presentation in children younger than five years old, it is often misdiagnosed, which leads to an increased morbidity. Although clinical presentation varies between infants and preschoolers, no statistically significant differences were observed in the rate of perforated appendix or postoperative complications.
