Proposal of Evaluating Patients’ Satisfaction about Quality of Healthcare System by Non-parametric Quality Control
Authors: Nguyen Loc
Published: July 2018

Hospital quality assessment is key subject in hospital management. Patient satisfaction called criterion F is an important quality measure. It is necessary to use F as control factor to improve gradually the hospital management process. Because F is fuzzy, I propose a so-called non-parametric quality control (NQC) method that is combination of non-parametric test and quality control chart in order to estimate F. If F becomes a vector composed of many sub-criteria then, NQC method is extended as multivariate NQC (MNQC) method used for evaluating many concerned opinions of patients. MNQC replaces the distance between observation and null hypothesis by their Pearson coefficient. This research is a proposal because I do not make experiments on NQC and MNQC yet.
Acquiescence and Person Differential Functioning: Solving Person DIF with Balanced Scales
Authors: Primi Ricardo , Santos Daniel , De Fruyt Filip , John Oliver P.
Published: July 2018

Likert-type self-report scales are frequently used in large-scale educational assessment of social-emotional skills. Self-report scales rely on the assumption that their items elicit information only about the trait they are supposed to measure. However, different response biases may threat this assumption. Specifically in children, the response style of acquiescence is an important source of systematic error. Balanced scales have been proposed as a solution to control for acquiescence, but the reasons why this design feature worked from the perspective of modern psychometric models have been underexplored. Three methods for controlling for acquiescence are compared: (a) Classical ipsatization by partialling out the mean, (b) an Item Response Theory method to measure Person Differential Functioning (DPF), and (c) random intercept item factor analysis. Comparative analyses are conducted on simulated ratings and on self-ratings provided by 40,649 students (aged 11 to 18) on a fully balanced 30-item scale assessing Conscientious Self-management. Acquiescence bias was explained as person differential item functioning and it was demonstrated that: (a) the acquiescence index is highly related to DPF, (b) balanced scales resolve DPF, and (c) that random intercept factors are highly related to DPF and the substantive factor is controlled for DPF.

Teori Kritis dan Varian Paradigmatis dalam Ilmu Komunikasi
Authors: Wuryanta AG. Eka Wenats
Published: July 2018

Teori kritis melihat bahwa media tidak lepas kepentingan, terutama sarat kepentingan kaum pemilik modal, negara atau kelompok yang menindas lainnya. Dalam artian ini, media menjadi alat dominasi dan hegemoni masyarakat. Konsekuensi logisnya adalah realitas yang dihasilkan oleh media bersifat pada dirinya bias atau terdistorsi. Selanjutnya, teori kritis melihat bahwa media adalah pembentuk kesadaran. Representasi yang dilakukan oleh media dalam sebuah struktur masyarakat lebih dipahami sebagai media yang mampu memberikan konteks pengaruh kesadaran (manufactured consent). Dengan demikian, media menyediakan pengaruh untuk mereproduksi dan mendefinisikan status atau memapankan keabsahan struktur tertentu. Inilah sebabnya, media dalam kapasitasnya sebagai agen sosial sering mengandaikan juga praksis sosial dan politik.

Weeding with ADDIE: Developing training for deselection at an academic library
Authors: O'Neill Lindsay
Published: July 2018

Weeding is a technically, emotionally, and politically difficult process for academic librarians, particularly when faced with a collection has not been weeded in years, if ever. Yet there is little research that examines how librarians can be supported in their deselecting activities with training. In this case study, a custom training resource enabled librarians at California State University, Fullerton, to more efficiently and confidently complete their weeding assignments. This paper describes a case study of use of instructional design model “ADDIE” (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) to design and develop a training resource built on the LibGuide platform for librarians tasked with weeding their subject areas. Use of the ADDIE model encouraged librarian buy-in and resulted in the development of thoughtfully designed training that met librarians’ needs and facilitated their success in weeding their subject areas. This paper fills a gap in the literature by describing a case study of using instructional design techniques and concepts to develop a local training resource on deselection.
Mapping prosody onto meaning – the case of information structure in American English
Authors: Roettger Timo Benjamin , Mahrt Tim , Cole Jennifer
Published: July 2018

Prosody is a central part of human speech, with prosodic modulations of the signal expressing important communicative functions. Yet, the exact mechanisms of how listeners map prosodic aspects of the speech signal onto speaker-intended discourse functions are only poorly understood. Here we present three perception experiments that test the mapping between the prosodic form of a heard utterance and possible information structural categories (here: focus and givenness) determined by a discourse context. Results suggest varying degrees of accuracy dependent on the specific information structure categories that are presented to the listener in the experiment (the target and the competitor). Moreover, listeners are sometimes biased towards or against certain used discourse contexts. These biases are compatible with the idea that listeners infer speaker intentions based not only on bottom-up processing of acoustic cues but also on probabilistic knowledge about how likely prosodic forms co-occur with specific discourse contexts.
Uncertainty about the impact of social decisions increases prosocial behavior
Authors: Kappes Andreas , Nussberger Anne-Marie , Faber Nadira Sophie , Kahane Guy , Savulescu Julian , Crockett Molly
Published: July 2018

Uncertainty about how our choices will affect others infuses social life. Past research suggests uncertainty has a negative effect on prosocial behavior by enabling people to adopt self-serving narratives about their actions. We show that uncertainty does not always promote selfishness. We introduce a distinction between two types of uncertainty that have opposite effects on prosocial behavior. Previous work focused on outcome uncertainty: uncertainty about whether or not a decision will lead to a particular outcome. But as soon as people’s decisions might have negative consequences for others, there is also impact uncertainty: uncertainty about how badly others’ well-being will be impacted by the negative outcome. Consistent with past research, we found decreased prosocial behavior under outcome uncertainty. In contrast, prosocial behavior was increased under impact uncertainty in incentivized economic decisions and hypothetical decisions about infectious disease threats. Perceptions of social norms paralleled the behavioral effects. The effect of impact uncertainty on prosocial behavior did not depend on the individuation of others or the mere mention of harm, and was stronger when impact uncertainty was made more salient. Our findings offer insights into communicating uncertainty, especially in contexts where prosocial behavior is paramount, such as responding to infectious disease threats.

Published: July 2018

Introducción: La construcción de sociedades interculturales, sustentadas en la riqueza de la diversidad, el respeto mutuo y la igualdad, es un requerimiento para la supervivencia pacífica y el desarrollo futuro de la humanidad, en este marco se inserta un proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje sustentado en lo social y lo cultural.

Objetivo: Proponer un sistema didáctico para desarrollar la interculturalidad en el ambiente áulico de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Carrera de Medicina, a punto de partida de la revisión exhaustiva de la literatura de los últimos cinco años.

Metodología: Se emplearon los métodos de investigación histórico-lógico, el análisis-síntesis, sistémico, hipotético-deductivo e inductivo-deductivo. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura desde el 2012 al 2017, que incluyó 15 artículos en ProQuest, todos revisados por expertos y publicados en revistas científicas de alto impacto. Participaron dos revisores independientes, quienes trabajaron sobre el diseño de sistemas didácticos en la Educación Superior.

Resultados: La revisión de quince artículos publicados en el periodo 2012-2017 permitieron sustentar teóricamente el diseño de un sistema didáctico para la búsqueda de información desde una perspectiva intercultural, con vistas a dar solución a problemas que se presentan en la etapa estudiantil y profesional, favorecer la adquisición de conocimientos y comparación de resultados obtenidos en sus investigaciones con los de otros autores, a partir de una triangulación, todo lo cual favorecerá el desarrollo de la actividad científica estudiantil y profesional, con un impacto en la producción científica de la Instituciòn de Educación Superior.

Conclusiones: Los referentes teóricos abordados desde una perspectiva intercultural permitieron reconocer la importancia de preservar la cultura vista desde lo  antropológico, lo cual conlleva a respetar las tradiciones, a conservarlas como legado para una trasmisión lo más fidedigna posible de generación en generación, además permite reconocer que el aspecto cultural va entrelazado con el proceso formativo en la Universidad Médica, lo cual evidencia el logro de lo cognitivo, procedimental y actitudinal. El sistema didáctico diseñado, a punto de partida de la revisión bibliográfica efectuada, permitió interrelacionar elementos didácticos dados por creación de situaciones problémicas, un sistema de: actividad participativa, retroalimentación y tareas de ayuda, lo cual favorece una visión holística de los fenómenos de la realidad con vistas a la construcción de hipótesis de investigación que podrán ser evaluadas y confirmadas con marcos referenciales que sustentan nuevos enfoques con ambientes de preservación de la cultura y la ciudadanía, afianzando las humanidades, el fortalecimiento de la condición humana y la comunicación en el análisis de los problemas médicos.
Memories from the frontline
Authors: Manolis Liza
Published: July 2018

In this essay, a critical incident involving an experienced child protection social worker and a First Nation family is deconstructed utilizing Jan Fook’s Critical Reflection Technique (2002). This deconstruction process investigates the issues of professional boundaries, revictimization, vicarious trauma, power and oppression and the ideas surrounding what a “real” and “good” social worker is. Through the reconstruction process, it is discovered that the assumptions underlying these issues are not helpful, and in fact are harmful to both the social worker’s sense of self as well as to social work practice. A discussion on how to avoid succumbing to the assumptions and expectations is then generated as a means to encourage professional practice without fear. Lastly, a strength-based perspective will be utilized to demonstrate how theory was operationalized with this First Nation family.
Institutional Trust and Democracy Satisfaction in Croatia
Authors: Henjak Andrija
Published: July 2018

U radu se istražuju determinante koje određuju vjeru u institucije i zadovoljstvo demokracijom u Hrvatskoj. Polazi se od pretpostavke da učinkovito upravljanje podrazumijeva učinkovite mehanizme odgvornosti putem kojih se političke aktere i institucije, kao i demokraciju u praksi, ocjenjuje na temelju rezultata koje isporučuju građanima. Ipak, u duboko je podijeljenim društvima veća vjerojatnost
da će građani političke institucije i djelovanje političkog poretka ocijeniti
ovisno o tome koliko oni uspješno odražavaju preferencije i identitet građana, a ne na temelju rezultata njihova upravljanja. U takvim duboko podijeljenim društvima koja politiku doživljavaju kao igru u kojoj jedna strana mora dobiti a druga izgubiti, vjerojatno je da će ocjene političkih institucija i demokratskog djelovanja ovisiti o poistovjećivanju građana s pojedinim političkim strankama i u kojoj mjeri one predstavljaju njihov politički identitet. Na ocjene demokratskog poretka te vjere u institucije u duboko podijeljenome hrvatskom društvu vjerojatnije će utjecati poistovjećivanje s političkim strankama nego rezultati upravljanja. U radu se provjerava utemeljenost navedenih pretpostavki na osnovi podataka o izborima 2011., 2015. i 2016. godine. Primjenom višestruke regresijske analize nastoji se utvrditi utjecaj političke pristranosti u usporedbi s brojnim drugim čimbenicima kojima se mjere politički stavovi, politička učinkovitost, ocjena ekonomske situacije, povjerenje u društvo, znanje o politici i društveno-ekonomski položaj. Rezultati analize upućuju na to da je utjecaj političke pristranosti, kao i varijabli koje su s njime povezane, snažan i statistički značajan i kada je riječ o povjerenju u političke institucije poput Sabora i Vlade i kada je riječ o povjerenju u institucije koje nisu političke, primjerice pravosudni sustav i javnu upravu. Rezultati su slični pri ocjenjivanju demokracije te se utvrđuje
da utjecaj političke pristranosti ima dosljednije statističko značenje od
utjecaja drugih varijabli. Također se utvrđuje da je utjecaj političke pristranosti najjači kod ocjenjivanja demokracije, potom kod povjerenja u Vladu i Sabor te konačno kod povjerenja u javnu upravu i pravosuđe.
Regionalism and Sub-Regional Representation
Authors: Đulabić Vedran , Čepo Dario
Published: July 2018

U radu se istražuje pojam regionalizma i zastupanje podregionalnih identiteta u regional institutional-setting. Glavno je istraživačko pitanje usmjereno na otkrivanje idealne veličine političkih regija te kako bi unutar institucionalnog ustroja pojedinih regija valjalo zastupati različite podregionalne identitete. To se uglavnom odnosi na zastupnička tijela kao glavne demokratske institucije zastupničke demokracije. Je li moguće očuvati zaseban podregionalni identitet unutar veće regije ili će se on u potpunosti uklopiti u širi regionalni identitet? Na koji su način podregionalni identiteti dosad bili zastupljeni u institucionalnom ustroju širih regija? Za Hrvatsku su ova pitanja od posebne važnosti s obzirom
na opetovane i neuspjele pokušaje provođenja teritorijalnoga preustroja mezo razine lokalne samouprave (županija), te pokušaja okrupnjivanja županija njihovim preustrojem u regije i popraćenih većim stupnjem decentralizacije. Znanstvena zajednica i šira javnost zalažu se za preustroj 20 županija u manji broj (uglavnom pet) većih i snažnijih regija, no tome se protive interesne skupine povezane s postojećim županijskim ustrojem, uključujući lokalnu političku elitu. U radu se nastoji objasniti kako odgovoriti na neka snažnija protivljenja potencijalnom spajanju, tj. amalgamaciji područja različitih i diosinkrastičkih kulturnih, političkih, povijesnih i društveno-ekonomskih baština u jednu veću regiju. Usporedno se analizira zastupanje podregija u odabranim europskim zemljama kako bi se predložilo moguće rješenje, a analiziraju se parlamenti i zastupanje podregija u Škotskoj, Walesu, Engleskoj i Poljskoj. Rad se sastoji od pet cjelina. Uvod slijedi analiza međusobne povezanosti regionalizma kao političke ideologije i regionalizacije kao pokušaja uvođenja regija u institucionalni
ustroj države. Treći se dio bavi zastupanjem podregija i stvaranjem identiteta kao važnim aspektom regionalizacije, te stvaranjem krupnijih političkih regija koje sadrže veći broj lokalnih zajednica s često izraženijim podregionalnim političkim i društvenim identitetom. U četvrtome se dijelu opisuje nastojanje hrvatskoga društva uz potporu brojnih društvenih aktera (npr. znanstvene zajednice, medija, šire javnosti i pojedinih manjih političkih stranaka) da se provede preustroj sadašnjeg sustava županija jer ga se drži previše fragmentiranim i neprikladnim za obavljanje zadataka na razini regionalne samouprave. Završni dio povezuje argumente razrađene u prethodnim dijelovima te opisuje glavne korake koji bi mogli dovesti do preustroja županija u Hrvatskoj. Opisuje se kako inovativne promjene u institucijama i usmjeravanje razlika među podregijama u regionalno zastupničko tijelo mogu dovesti do pomaka prema definiciji regionalizacije kao regionalnih prostora. Prema toj definiciji podregije poput Istre ili Rijeke spoznati će međusobne sličnosti kao i sličnosti sa susjednim regijama. Time bi ideja amalgamacije podregija u veću i uspješniju mezo regiju postala logičnom.
The Crisis of The Bureaucratic State and the Failed Attempts to Overcome it in The Russian Public Service
Authors: Obolonsky Alexander V.
Published: July 2018

U radu se isprepleće nekoliko teorijskih i praktičnih pitanja, a sve unutar širega konteksta suvremene krize birokratske države i potrage za novim obrascima upravljanja. Razmatra se nekoliko tema: različiti aspekti pada povjerenja javnosti u državu, uključujući građansku »desakralizaciju“ države, paradoks pozitivnog utjecaja nepovjerenja društva na politički razvoj, te povezanost povjerenja i korupcije. Mnoge su države tijekom posljednjih 30 godina poduzele ozbiljne napore kako bi riješile krizu i na nedavne se promjene u njihovu javnom upravljanju može gledati kao na svojevrstan administrativni odgovor. No autor ipak zaključuje da većina tih promjena, s obzirom na to da su bile isključivo tehničke prirode, nije predstavljala stvarnu alternativu te one nisu mogle riješiti probleme u skladu s očekivanjima i potrebama suvremenog društva. Glavnina je rada posvećena slučaju Rusije. Opisuje se i analizira pet krugova neuspješnih pokušaja da se nakon raspada Sovjetskoga Saveza u Rusiju uvede javna služba u pravom smislu riječi. Usprkos djelomičnom napretku, pokušaji su rezultirali značajnim neuspjehom te je došlo do razvoja birokratske države i neizbježnih popratnih posljedica. Najveći neprijatelji reformi u Rusiji nisu oni koji su se susreli s neuspjehom u prvim fazama promjene, već su to »rani pobjednici“ – oni koji su 1990-ih stekli povlastice i potom ih nastojali zadržati na sve moguće
načine, pa tako i zlouporabom moći. Ruska su iskustva također vrlo zanimljiva u usporedbi s iskustvima ostalih postsocijalističkih istočnoeuropskih zemalja. Autor ocjenjuje da sadašnje stanje birokratskih državnih institucija i njihovih zaposlenika ni u jednoj zemlji nije u skladu sa suvremenim očekivanjima i zahtjevima javnosti te drži da je potrebno znatno povećati razinu njihove odazivnosti i suradnje. Očito je da se uloga javnih službenika mijenja iz temelja.
American Immigration Microfederalism
Authors: Samahon Tuan N.
Published: July 2018

Immigration power is thought to be a federal power in the United States, but the States and their localities play key roles in filling congressional immigration policy gaps. When confronted with a major migration crisis, these microfederal jurisdictions in a multi-layered federal system respond differently to the policy gaps. A healthy tolerance for microfederal policies promotes this experimentation and voter preference maximisation. A countervailing interest in uniformity,
among other values, tempers the case for microfederalism by suggesting temporal or other limitations may be justified. States and localities have experimented with microfederal policies concerning migrants that touch on migration and integration policy. Restrictionist jurisdictions have promoted policies that discourage migration and integration. Their strategies include: formal cooperation with federal immigration enforcement when restrictionist in policy orientation; adoption of independent state-law measures to supplement federal immigration enforcement; and litigation to attempt to force or realign federal executive enforcement priorities on migration and integration. Sanctuary jurisdictions adopt inverse strategies. They may decline to participate in voluntary federal programs; refuse to access available federal immigration status information; deny federal requests to cooperate with federal detainer requests; provide access to State and local services to all comers, without regard to legal status; and, like restrictionist jurisdictions, litigate to attempt to force or realign the federal government’s enforcement priorities to favour migration and integration. Inevitably, conflict between federal and state administration results in litigation. The federal government attempts to assert its primacy in those matters touching on alien regulation. During the Trump administration, this effort has included the likely unconstitutional Executive Order 13768, but also the threat of affirmative federal pre-emption litigation against sanctuary jurisdictions. Provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act may provide Trump with a basis for arguing that federal law expressly or impliedly pre-oempts conflicting state law.

Authors: Hidayati Qory , Rachman Fathur Zaini , Yanti Nur , Jamal Nurwahidah , Suhaedi Suhaedi
Published: July 2018

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) merupakan suatu piranti yang dibuat sebagai pengganti kumpulan relai-relai mekanik yang digunakan dalam sistem kontrol. PLC berkerja dengan cara membaca instruksi-instruksi dari masukannya. Karena PLC pada umumnya memiliki harga yang cukup mahal dan hanya beberapa orang yang dapat mempelajarinya, maka dibuatlah PLC trainer. PLC trainer dirancang menggunakan mikrokontroler Arduino Uno, modul input (berupa: toggle switch, push button, dan limit switch), dan modul output (berupa: LED, seven segment, motor DC, dan buzzer). PLC trainer juga dilengkapi prototype lampu lalu lintas sebagai modul output simulasi lampu lalu lintas empat arah. PLC trainer memanfaatkan LDmicro untuk membuat pemrograman ladder diagram dengan instruksi-instruksi sesuai dengan keinginan programmer dan menggunakan software Xloader untuk upload program ke Arduino Uno. Dari hasil pengujian diperoleh bahwa mikrokontroler Arduino Uno dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai PLC trainer untuk modul pembelajaran.Kata kunci: Programmable Logic Controller, Arduino Uno, modul input-output, lampu lalu lintas
Shedding Light in the Hearts
Authors: Savi Julio
Published: July 2018

Starting from a statement by Giuseppe Ungaretti, poetry is examined as an emotional stimulus, as truth, and as a privileged form of linguistic expression. Each aspect is explored in its limitations and merits, in the light of quotations from contemporary Italian poets and the Bahá’í writings, it is suggested that as poets increasingly surpass these limitations and develop these merits within the framework of a spiritual conception of the nature of reality, they may overcome the present crisis in the relations between poetry and society arid better pursue, in the full freedom of their inspiration, their ultimate purpose, which is to help their fellows to “attain the station of true understanding and nobility.”
Becoming Hospitable and Uplifting Holding Environments for Humanity’s Griefs
Authors: Mustakova Elena
Published: July 2018

As the painstaking unification of the planet unfolds, human suffering is rapidly escalating. The World Health Organization (WHO) now recognizes anxiety and depression-related disorders as the new pandemics, debilitating increasingly larger and younger segments of the world’s population. People everywhere are searching for solutions; yet, in this time of deep disenchantment, there is also heightened suspicion toward ready answers. As Bahá’ís seek ways to bring Bahá’u’lláh’s healing Message to a troubled, disillusioned, and anxious humanity, a question emerges. How can we become beacons of light and encouragement, shed distractions, and build hospitable, healing, and uplifting communities, able to embrace humanity’s griefs and point the way forward? This paper focuses on what depression- and anxiety-related conditions can teach us about creating healing spiritual communities.
Dances with Heads
Authors: Roque Ricardo
Published: July 2018

This article explores the conjunction between mimesis and parasitism as a colonial mode of relating with forms of ‘savagery’ in state administration in relation to both the colonial Self and indigenous Others. The article examines the participation in 1861 of Portuguese Governor Afonso de Castro in a headhunting ceremony, the ‘feast of the heads’, which was held in colonial East Timor. By following a dispute concerning the problems and merits of the governor’s compliance with this ritual, it conceptualizes the trade with savagery within colonial government praxis as a parasitic form of mimesis. In this context, the dangers of bracketing the self and surrendering to the forces of otherness allowed for headhunting ritual energies to be extracted and exploited to the colonial state’s advantage.

Published: July 2018

This article analyzes one kind of colonial equipment designed in the early twentieth century for the purpose of providing medical assistance to the indigenous populations of Angola and Mozambique. I will refer to it as a ‘hut-hospital’, although it had several forms and designations. The layout of hut-hospitals consisted of a main building and a number of hut-like units that were supposedly more attractive to the indigenous population and therefore more efficient than the large, rectangular buildings of the main colonial hospitals. Using different sources, including three-dimensional plaster models of hut-hospitals, photographs, legal documents, and 1920s conference papers and articles, I will investigate the relatively obscure history of this colonial artifact while exploring the use of imitation as part of the repertoire of colonial governance.
Imitations of Buddhist Statecraft
Authors: Ladwig Patrice
Published: July 2018

From 1893 onward, French colonialism sponsored and restructured Lao and Khmer Buddhism in order to create an ‘Indochinese Buddhism’. Over a span of several decades, the French promoted monastic education, reconstructed the major temples in Vientiane, and renovated the That Luang, the most important Buddhist relic shrine of Laos. This article explores the motivations and strategies for this endeavor, specifically focusing on French efforts to ‘re-materialize’ Lao Buddhism’s religious architecture. I argue that the renovation of these monuments as symbols and centers of power under the auspices of the École française d’Extrême-Orient was based on mimetic processes that should be understood as a form of ceremonial governmentality and colonial politics of affect, whose goal was to win the ‘sympathies’ of the colonized.
Enhancing Thermal Simulations for Prototype Molds
Authors: Zink Béla , Kovács József Gábor
Published: July 2018

Our goal was the thermal analysis of epoxy acrylate-based prototype molds with numerical simulations, and to compare and analyze the measured values and calculated results. The difference between the thermal calculations and the measured values is significant; the actual temperature of the mold is higher than the calculated values. Based on the numerical simulations, we found that in the case of epoxy acrylate-based mold inserts, temperature results can be made significantly more accurate by changing the heat transfer coefficient between the surface of the mold insert and the melt. We proved that in the case of small-series epoxy acrylate-based molds, the temperature dependence of the thermal properties of the mold material, and the temperature and pressure dependence of the heat transfer coefficient need to be taken into account for accurate temperature results. We proved that the heat transfer coefficient between the mold surface and the melt is considerably lower than in the case of metal molds, due to lower cavity pressure and a lower temperature difference between the mold surface and the melt.

Background: Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and is independently associated with microalbuminuria in patients with type-2 DM. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in type-2 diabetes patients with microalbuminuria.Materials & Methods: This descriptive type of observational study was done in the department of Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital from August 2015 to January 2016.Results: A total of 50 patients was included in the study with male predominance (M:F ratio 2. 22:1). Peak age was between 40-60 years and majority of patients (32%) was between 41-50 years and mean duration of DM was more than 12 years. Out of 50 patients, 19 (38%) patients had mild microalbuminuria; 24 (48%) patients had moderate microalbuminuria and 7 (14%) patients had severe microalbuminuria. Common symptoms were lethargy, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and bladder symptoms. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) was found in 80% cases. Parasympathetic dysfunction was observed in 40 (80%) cases and sympathetic dysfunction was observed in 43 (86%) cases.Conclusion: As significant number of DM patients (80%) develop CAN, so cardiovascular autonomic function tests should be monitored to address major potential cardiovascular complications even in asymptomatic patients, especially among those with microalbuminuria.J MEDICINE JUL 2018; 19 (2) : 104-109

Published: July 2018

Background: Osteoporosis is one of the most common systemic features of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). But there had been no data regarding osteoporosis in COPD patients in Bangladesh. Objectives: To determine the frequency of osteoporosis in COPD patients.Materials & Methods: This was a cross sectional observational study. COPD patients were recruited from Sarkari kormachari hospital. Patients were excluded if they had asthma, any disease affecting bones and calcium homeostasis or were receiving drugs related to bone metabolism. Demographic data were collected including age, smoking history, inhaled corticosteroid use, body mass index, treatment history hospital admission. Chest x-ray was done to exclude any infection or malignancy. Blood was obtained for complete blood count, renal function test, CRP. Bone mineral density (BMD; g/cm2) was conducted by using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (DXA scan) at second to fourth lumbar spines (L2-4) and femoral neck.Results: The overall prevalence of osteoporosis according to the lowest T-score at either L2-4 or femoral neck were 56.7%. This is very high than other country. BMI and CRP were significantly associated with osteoporosis.Conclusion: The frequency of osteoporosis in Bangladeshi COPD patients was higher than others. Osteoporosis was associated with low BMI and high level of CRP.J MEDICINE JUL 2018; 19 (2) : 114-118
Primary Hypoparathyroidism - Misdiagnosed as Epilepsy

Published: July 2018

Absent or inappropriately low intact parathyroid hormone along with hypocalcemia is the diagnostic criterion of hypoparathyroidism. Clinically, hypoparathyroidism manifests predominantly as neuromuscular dysfunction caused by hypocalcemia. We present here a case of hypoparathyroidism wrongly and ineffectively treated as epilepsy for six years prior to reporting to our hospital. Hypoparathyroidism was diagnosed in our patient on the basis of low serum calcium (ionized and total), high phosphate and very low IPTH levels in face of normal magnesium levels along with radiological evidence of cerebral calcification.J MEDICINE JUL 2018; 19 (2) : 133-135

Published: July 2018

Coronary arteries anomalies are an uncommon congenital heart disease. Anomalous origin of three separate ostia is the rarest condition. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common inherited disease. There have been just few cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in relation with congenital coronary anomaly. In this report, we describe a rare case of anomalous origin of all three coronary arteries from separate ostia with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.J MEDICINE JUL 2018; 19 (2) : 136-137
Flip-Chip (FC) and Fine-Pitch-Ball-Grid-Array (FPBGA) Underfills for Application in Aerospace Electronics—Brief Review
Authors: Suhir Ephraim , Ghaffarian Reza
Published: July 2018

In this review, some major aspects of the current underfill technologies for flip-chip (FC) and fine-pitch-ball-grid-array (FPBGA), including chip-size packaging (CSP), are addressed, with an emphasis on applications, such as aerospace electronics, for which high reliability level is imperative. The following aspects of the FC and FPGGA technologies are considered: attributes of the FC and FPBGA structures and technologies; underfill-induced stresses; the roles of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the underfill materials; some major attributes of the lead-free solder systems with underfill; reliability-related issues; thermal fatigue of the underfilled solder joints; warpage-related issues; attributes of accelerated life testing of solder joint interconnections with underfills; and predictive modeling, both finite-element-analysis (FEA)-based and analytical (“mathematical”). It is concluded particularly that the application of the quantitative assessments of the effect of the fabrication techniques on the reliability of solder materials, when high reliability is imperative, is critical and that all the three types of research tools that an aerospace reliability engineer has at his/her disposal, should be pursued, when appropriate and possible: experimental/testing, finite-element-analysis(FEA) simulations, and the “old-fashioned” analytical (“mathematical”) modeling. These two modeling techniques are based on different assumptions, and if the computed data obtained using these techniques result in the close output information, then there is a good reason to believe that this information is both accurate and trustworthy. This effort is particularly important for high-reliability FC and FPBGA applications, such as aerospace electronics, as the aerospace IC packages become more complex, and the requirements for their failure-free operations become more stringent.
Urban Fish Farming in Jos, Nigeria: Contributions towards Employment Opportunities, Income Generation, and Poverty Alleviation for Improved Livelihoods

Published: July 2018

In most urban areas of sub-Saharan Africa, the migration of people from rural to urban areas in search of better socio-economic conditions and improved livelihoods is contributing to increased unemployment levels, poverty and large scale urban deprivation. Given such poverty situations and the prevalence of people who survive on less than 2 USD per day, local populations in these areas are increasingly vulnerable to food insecurity as well as malnutrition. One way out of this poverty trap is practicing small scale agriculture both for subsistence and income-generating purposes. In this paper, the role of small scale fish farming as a livelihood strategy by urban farmers in the city of Jos has been investigated by means of a mixed-method research design. Thus, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected for analyses in order to understand the various dimensions of small scale fish farming amongst 50 respondents randomly selected in the city of Jos, Nigeria. The results have shown the spatial distribution of these farming practices, as well as the demographic attributes of these farmers. Small-scale fish farming is a viable source of food, generating local employment opportunities as well as much needed income in an environment of urban deprivation. Some of the income (above ₦20,000 or 55.56 USD) derived from this fish farming significantly alleviates poverty, as it exceeds the Nigerian national minimum wage of ₦18,000 (50.00 USD). Results also show that the lack of reliable water supplies and high production costs are some of the most constraining problems that militate against operational effectiveness and efficiency, along with poor marketing of their produce and lack of preservation facilities. The lack of access to credit facilities was also mentioned as one of the problems besetting this activity. From the perceptions of the respondents in this study, a number of negative environmental impacts associated with small scale fish farming have been highlighted. Given these results and the growth potential of this kind of farming in Jos, more integrated local development planning is recommended for addressing the infrastructural and resource needs of practicing farmers for achieving long term sustainability in small scale fish farming.
