Révéler ce qui fait patrimoine pour penser le renouvellement urbain des cités d’habitations à bon marché de Grenoble
Authors: Hadbi Ryma
Published: November 2020

Ce projet de recherche consiste à questionner ce qui fait patrimoine dans trois cités d’habitations à bon marché de Grenoble construites dans les années 1920-1930 : les cités de la Capuche, l’Abbaye et Jean Macé. À l’origine similaires dans leur contexte de construction, ces dernières ont connu des transformations architecturales, urbaines et sociales différentes au fil du temps. Ce qui fait patrimoine est abordé, ici, comme un processus vivant qui sans cesse évolue, intègre des mutations, des changements, des ruptures et qui articule trois valeurs patrimoniales conjointes : valeur historique, valeur d’usage et valeur de renouvellement. Pour cela, nous nous intéressons aux mémoires individuelles et collectives, aux usages et aux récits de vie des personnes qui ont habité ces cités depuis des décennies. Ce qui compte, c’est en fin de compte la valeur que l’on accorde aux habitants et à leurs attaches. Tout autant, ce travail démontre l’intérêt de penser ce qui fait patrimoine par l’attachement au lieu pour penser le renouvellement urbain de ces cités pleines de significations affectives. La mémoire urbaine serait un moyen de lire à la fois le passé, le présent et le devenir possible d’un site en postulant qu’elle détient en quelque sorte les « gènes » du lieu. Elle serait l’héritage, le bien commun à partir duquel pourrait se faire tout renouvellement de ces lieux riches en mémoires et en émotions.
Public Housing in Israel: From Welfare State to Neoliberalism
Authors: Hananel Ravit
Published: November 2020

This paper analyzes and explains the evolution of public housing in Israel. Compared to other countries, Israel’s public housing has undergone massive change throughout the last few decades, and is therefore an interesting case study. In the 1950s and 1960s, public housing made up 60% of the state’s total housing stock, and most of the population was eligible. Today, however, public housing is marginal in scope and earmarked for only 1.9% of the population, most of which come from the poorest households. This study presents the explanation of these changes and the current state of public housing in Israel.
Modélisation des savoirs dans la classe en didactique de la physique
Authors: Tiberghien Andrée
Published: November 2020

Cet article vise à rendre compte une façon de modéliser les pratiques de classe d’un point de vue didactique dans le cas de l’enseignement d’une discipline et à en tirer des propositions pour une analyse comparative des pratiques scolaires. Cette modélisation se situe dans une approche pragmatique. Dans une première étape, la théorie de l'action conjointe en didactique est succinctement introduite avec plusieurs autres choix théoriques concernant l'apprentissage, le savoir et la nécessité de plusieurs échelles temporelles. Dans un deuxième temps, les outils méthodologiques de modélisation sont introduits avec des exemples d'analyses qui illustrent les liens entre cadre théorique et outils méthodologiques. Ces outils sont associés à des questions de recherche portant sur les pratiques en classe. Deux types d'outils sont proposés, l'un au niveau mésoscopique pour structurer une série de séances d’une séquence d'enseignement, l'autre, lié au niveau microscopique, permet d’analyser les éléments de savoir en jeu dans le discours de la classe. La conclusion tire quelques propositions pour une analyse comparative à partir du cadre théorique et méthodologique présenté en particulier des échelles de temps et des unités d'analyse au niveau méso et microscopique.
Épistémologie et pédagogie chez Gaston Bachelard et Karl Popper
Authors: Firode Alain
Published: November 2020

Quoiqu’elles présentent de nombreux points communs, l’épistémologie de Karl Popper et celle de Gaston Bachelard proposent des conceptions de la science et de la culture scientifique ayant chacune des implications didactiques distinctes et parfois opposées. Alors que la pensée bachelardienne rencontre certaines tendances lourdes de la doctrine pédagogique actuellement dominante – par le rôle éducatif qu’elle confère à la culture scientifique en particulier –, celle de Popper, en raison des implications objectivistes et logiciennes qui sont les siennes, s’oriente au contraire dans des directions différentes, difficilement compatibles avec celle-ci.
Homelessness and Covid-19 in the City of Tshwane: Doing liberation theology undercover – A conversation with Ivan Petrella
Authors: De Beer Stephan F.
Published: November 2020

Ivan Petrella argues that the goals of liberation theology can sometimes be better served by doing it undercover. This article reflects on responses to homelessness during Covid-19 in the City of Tshwane, describing and reflecting upon it from the perspective of a researcher-theologian as well as activist-urbanist. It employed two lenses in its reflection: Petrella’s notion of the ‘undercover liberation theologian’, as well as what is known as deliberative public administration theory, as possibly complementary approaches. It traces ways in which people of faith/theologians participated in the City of Tshwane through means other than explicit theological discourse. It implies that such engagement was not less theological but perhaps more strategic, describing that task of the undercover liberation theologian as that of making space, making plans, making known and making change. Ultimately, it calls for a subversion of suspect models of theological education, suggesting that it is in losing ourselves in the messiness of public processes and multiple solidarities with the poor, that the unfree might experience freedom, and liberation theological goals might find concrete expression.Contribution: This article reflects on responses in the City of Tshwane to street homelessness during Covid-19. It unpacks the notion and role of the ‘undercover’ liberation theologian in local political processes, and how losing ourselves in public processes and multiple solidarities with the urban poor, might help gain freedom for the unfree.
Mediating effect of perceived organisational support on authentic leadership and work engagement
Authors: Vermeulen Theresa , Scheepers Caren B.
Published: November 2020

Orientation: High levels of employee engagement are critical in the current globally competitive landscape. Scholarly research suggests that authentic leadership (AL) increases trust and ultimately work engagement. Several recent studies called for more research into the moderating and mediating variables influencing this relationship.Research purpose: Employee perceptions about the support offered by their organisations have been associated with engagement. This study explores the mediating effect of this variable on the relationship between AL and work engagement.Motivation for the study: This study focuses on the interaction between perceptions of support from the organisation, AL and engagement of employees.Research approach/design and method: The data was collected from 202 employees from an international information technology organisation. Regression analysis was employed to test for mediation impact. The model fit was analysed to know whether the suggested model was a good fit.Main findings: The study established that the mediated model was partially significant, which indicates that the relationship between AL and engagement is, in part, contextually dependent on whether employees perceive organisational support.Practical/managerial implications: The presence of perceived organisational support (POS) provides space for an interaction between organisational processes and employee engagement, or, in the absence of an existing POS, an authentic leader transforms organisational resources into positive POS.Contribution/value-add: This study contributes to the literature through specifically examinating the interaction between the variables of employee engagement, POS and AL. Engagement does not rely on the ‘right’ leadership theory or model to address problems with performance or motivation, but rather on developing an organisational climate that could enable individuals and organisations to thrive.
Strategies to establish rapport during online management coaching
Authors: Van Coller-Peter Salome , Manzini Linda
Published: November 2020

Orientation: Online coaching (via a range of technologies) is becoming a preferred option as more and more coaches and clients embrace technology-enabled environments. One of the fundamental skills of coaching is the ability of the coach to build rapport with the client.Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore ways in which rapport can be established between the coach and the client during online management coaching.Motivation for the study: The authors believe that the creation of rapport online between the coach and the client cannot be left to evolve naturally and that the building of rapport requires the parties to invest intentionally to create connection and chemistry. Hence, this question: What can be done to optimise the rapport between client and coach during e-coaching?Research approach/design and method: To obtain primary data for this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six coaches and six clients who had experienced at least four online management coaching sessions without meeting the client or coach face to face.Main findings: This article provides practical strategies on how to build rapport during online coaching. With explicit articulation and consistent application, these strategies can help to improve interpersonal connection between coach and client.Practical or managerial implications: This study offers strategies to establish rapport between coach and client during online management coaching.Contribution/value-add: The results of this study inform the practice of online coaching as well as the design of coaching programmes for the future.

Authors: Gupta Rahul , Pokharia Pradip , Daspal Ujjwal , Ammar Houssem
Published: November 2020

Postpartum retroperitoneal or pelvic haematomas are rare after vaginal delivery. The clinical presentation can vary from being an incidental finding to the development of life-threatening bleeding. Due to their rarity, there are no established guidelines for the management of these postpartum haematomas. The reported treatments vary from watchful observation to emergent laparotomy. We report a case of postpartum pre-sacral haematoma after uneventful vaginal delivery managed successfully by laparoscopic drainage after the failure of conservative treatment.

Published: November 2020

”. Aviation safety is an important component of the concept of general national security, the system of personal security, ecological and public safety and transport safety from external and internal threats. Maintaining an acceptable level of national aviation safety is a priority for the industry. In the context of globalization, ecological safety is becoming especially important. World leaders gathered at the United Nations (UN) and adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is a plan of action aimed at achieving global sustainable development in economic, social and environmental areas, which ensures that no UN member state is left behind. The 17 sustainable development goals on the 2030 Agenda can be used as benchmarks for the coordinated development of UN member states. One of the most important goals for the global survival of humankind is Goal 13 “Climate Change”. In order to find an adequate answer to this challenge, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has identified the following areas that can contribute to the attainment of the global aspirational goal: aircraft related technology and standards; improved air traffic management and operational improvements, development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuel and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). The implementation of CORSIA is carried out not only at the global level, the initiative requires the search for effective management solutions at the national level. Statistics on the activities of the aviation industry of Ukraine indicate its stable development. However, unfortunately, the dynamic growth of air traffic entails an increase in emissions of chemical elements into the atmosphere, which are a real threat to the environment and can contribute to climate change processes. The main tool for ensuring ecological safety tasks is proactive risk management. The development of proactive tools for environmental risk management is relevant and has practical implications for sustainable development, both in the industry in particular and for the state as a whole. The articles offer the author's approaches to the identification of air transport ecological component level.
Models of zoning of urban territory for rational delivery in the microconsolidation system
Authors: Savchenko Lidia , Davydenko Volodimir
Published: November 2020

Urban logistics (or city logistics) is developing rapidly due to the strong growth of e-commerce. Accordingly, the last-mile urban logistics faces a significant number of orders that need to be fulfilled in a dense urban development, environmental constraints and permanent congestion. One of the possible systems of rational city delivery is the use of a network of consolidation centers at the micro level. Such a network provides for a two-tier system of urban delivery - 1) from the central warehouse or warehouses to the network of microconsolidation centers; 2) from microconsolidation centers to end consumers. This scheme is especially relevant in the presence of restrictions on the movement of trucks or heavy vehicles in certain areas of the city, as well as in significant congestion and the problem of parking trucks when unloading at the location of the client. Methods (research methodology). To create a rational delivery network through a microconsolidation system, the primary task is to determine the delivery zones (or geographical clusters) - their number, size, location. To solve this problem, optimization models are proposed based on several minimization criteria - delivery distance, time, cost and integrated distance-time criterion. Results. The result is the optimization models creation, based on those it is possible to divide urban consumers into several delivery zones. Delivery routes are planned within each zone of the respective centroid and minimize the cost of last-mile logistics. Delivery of goods to the centroids can be carried out by light or medium trucks, and within the zones should be dominated by delivery of environmentally friendly modes of transport (motorcycle or moped, bicycle, car, on foot delivery with the possibility of public transport usage). Conclusion. Thus, the article provides a mathematical apparatus for obtaining territorial zoning of existing customers of the city in order to minimize the cost (distance, time or their combination) for delivery within each zone. Perspectives. A perspective study may be an analysis of the costs of operating a network of urban consolidation centers and the delivery of goods from the central warehouse or warehouses to this network. Accordingly, the task of minimizing the total costs of the city freight delivery system should be solved, taking into account economic, environmental and social aspects.
FACIAL CAPTURE AS A MEASURE TO SOLVING CBT EXAMINATION MALPRACTICES
Authors: Adesina Ademola Olusola
Published: November 2020

The adoption of Computer Based Testing (CBT) by Nigerian Tertiary Education Institutions has helped to address some of the challenges relating to the conduct of examinations and results processing. The most prominent of these challenges is the impersonation and to tackle these eventualities, multi-layered security architecture is implemented to ensure the authenticity of the student participating in the CBT. The architecture will assist Nigerian University administrators to effectively plan the conduct of CBT and develop in-house solution that will engender the reduction in the examination malpractices in CBT. The introduction of the facial capture reduced the intents of the students in engaging in the act of impersonation. The first security layer is the profiling of the registered students that are eligible to partake in the test, the second layer is the biometric capture to identify and authenticate that the student is the original person to partake in the test. The third layer is the facial capture on the system before the commencement of the test. The proposed system will be designed and implemented using algorithmic approach and a web-based application which will be deployed on the LAN of the institution. Therefore, this research presents the implementation of the multi-tiered layered security in mitigating the incidences of impersonation during CBT.

Published: November 2020

Human patients with Type1 diabetes and inadequate metabolic control have been found to exhibit a high prevalence of infertility but the exact mechanism by which this happens has not been fully elucidated. Alterations in the levels of lipids and electrolytes are considered to be good indications of some certain diseases including diabetes. This study aims at elucidating the impact of diabetes on the reproductive functions of male and female subjects as well as the responses of lipid profile which could be a determining factor affecting diabetic condition, to Alloxan-induced diabetes using male and female Wistar rats. To explore this, various hormonal assays assessing reproductive hormones such as Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH); Luteinizing hormone (LH); Prolactin hormone (PRL); lipid profile analyses and electrolytes measurements were employed. Our results showed that diabetes induce significant reduction in the levels of FSH and LH in both male and female rats (p<0.0001); significant reduction in the levels of LH in male (p<0.01) and female (p<0.0001); significant increase in the levels of prolactin (PRL) in male (p<0.05) and female (p<0.0001) ; significant increases in cholesterol levels in both male and female rats (p<0.01), an indication that diabetes is accompanied in most cases by hypercholesterolemia and triglycerides levels in both male (p<0.01) and female (p<0.0005) rats when compared to the control rats. The results obtained in this study shed more light on the mechanism by which fertility in male and female subjects is affected by diabetes and suggest possible mechanisms by which infertility could result from diabetes.

Published: November 2020

Physicochemical properties and antibiotic susceptibility of microorganisms isolated from wastewater samples collected from Al-Hikmah University female hostels were assessed. Samples obtained from different female hostels were examined physiochemically and microbiologically using standard procedures. Phytochemical result revealed the low temperature value of 28°C from Oladimeji and Commaissie hostels, while Deremi and Owaish had a value of 29.5°C. Dissolved oxygen of  0.1 ml/L was recorded from all the samples collected. Electrical conductivity ranged from 658 to 997µs, while chocking odour was recorded in all the four samples collected. In terms of pH, Oladimeji hostel had a pH of 10.5, Deremi had a pH of 10.6, while Owaish and Commaissie had a pH of 10.4. The wastewater samples from the four hostels were highly contaminated. Oladimeji hostel showed a mean bacterial 5count of 25.4×10cfu/ml, Deremi hostel, Owaish hostel and Coomassie hostels, showed a mean 4 4 4bacterial count of 5.7×10cfu/ml,16.8×10cfu/ml and 3.5×10cfu/ml respectively. Percentage occurrence of bacteria isolates were Salmonella sp. (12.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.5%), Escherichia coli (25%), Staphylococcus aureus (12.5%), Actinomyces (12.5%), Shigella sp. (6.25%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.5%) and Proteus vulgaris (6.25%). Antimicrobial sensitivity tests revealed that all the organisms were susceptible to gentamycin except Actinomyces. High microbial load in wastewater samples could have negative effects on human health. This study, further confirms the need to treat wastewater rather than directly discharging it to the environment.

Published: November 2020

Food poisoning due to Staphylococcus aureus isolated from meat and its products has been reported as a leading cause of morbidity, hospitalization and even death. This study was therefore aimed at evaluating the prevalence of â-lactamase producing Staphylococcus aureus in meat and meat-based foods using agar plate and tube method of iodometric methods by Devapriya et al. (2013). Results obtained connotes that 32 of the 60 analyzed samples harboured Staphylococcus aureus while 20 and 22 of the isolated organisms were found to be positive for both agar plate and tube methods respectively. The 32 identified Staphylococcus aureus however were found showing the following resistance of 97%, 94%, 88%, 81%, 75% to nitrofurantoin and amoxycillin, tetracycline, teicoplanin and ceftriazone, cotrimozazole, and vancomycin respectively. It can be concluded that the analyzed foods were variously contaminated with beta lactamase producing Staphylococcus aureus. It is therefore suggested that strict hygiene practices should be encouraged in every stages of animal and food processing.

Published: November 2020

Küreselleşmenin etkisiyle hızla artan işsizlik sorunu karşısında en dezavantajlı grup genç nüfustur. Genç nüfusun maruz kaldığı işsizlik ‘‘genç işsizliği’’ olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Son yıllarda genç işsizlik oranlarındaki hızlı artışlar, genç işsizliğine etki eden unsurların belirlenmesi gerekliliğini oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada ise Türkiye için genç işsizliğine etki eden ekonomik ve sosyal unsurlar ampirik olarak analiz edilmiştir. Enflasyon, yurt içi göç, ihracat, ithalat, gayri safi yurt içi hasıla (GSYİH), okuryazarlık oranı, iş kurmak için gereken süre, gençlerde doğurganlık oranı ve yükseköğretimde net okullaşma oranı şeklinde seçilen ekonomik ve sosyal değişkenlerin genç işsizliği üzerindeki etkisi iki aşamalı olarak incelenmiştir. İlk aşamada öncelikle en küçük kareler (EKK) yöntemi ile parametre tahmini yapılmış, sonrasında ise değişkenler arasındaki çoklu iç ilişki nedeniyle ikinci aşama olan Ridge tahmin edicisi kullanılmıştır. 2009-2019 dönemi için Türkiye ekonomisinde genç işsizliğine enflasyon, yurt içi göç, ithalat, ihracat ve GSYİH unsurlarının negatif yönde; okuryazarlık oranı, gençlerde doğurganlık oranı, iş kurmak için gereken süre ve yükseköğretimde net okullaşma oranı unsurlarının ise pozitif yönde etki ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Abstract

Objective: To identify how different eating behaviours are correlated, and to analyse which behaviour is a true predictor of food satisfaction while comparing the pattern in gender behaviours.

Methods: The correlational study was conducted at the Department of Humanities, COMSATS University, Islamabad, Pakistan, from January to May, 2019, and comprised adult individuals of both genders from different universities and food outlets located in Islamabad. Data was collected using the adult eating behaviour questionnaire and satisfaction with food-related life scale. Data was analysed using SPSS version 25.

Results: Of the 430 subjects, 183(42.5%) males and 247(57.4%) were females. All subscales of the adult eating behaviour questionnaire were correlated positively with the satisfaction with food-related life scale scale except for satiety responsiveness which showed negative correlation (r=-0.07). Enjoyment of food, food responsiveness and hunger subscales acted as true predictors of satisfaction with food-related life with correlation values of 0.37, 0.38 and 0.33 respectively. Significant difference was found across gender only on satiety responsiveness (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Increase in enjoyment of food, food responsiveness and hunger were found to increase satisfaction with food-related life.

Este texto se dirige à temática interartes a partir de diversas perspectivas teórico-conceituais. Parte-se de questões relacionadas às “substâncias comuns das artes”, presentes em reflexões de John Dewey, para, em seguida, abordar a conceituação de termos que, de algum modo, se ligam ao estudo interartes: sinestesia, tradução, espaço acústico, arte sonora e hibridismo. Com este breve estudo, esperamos estabelecer algumas bases para futuras investidas teóricas e/ou práticas no campo das interartes.

Authors: Guasque Yara
Published: November 2020

As sociocosmologias dos povos nativos e dos afrodescendentes poderiam ter sido mais fecundas nas teleperformances do Perforum nas celebrações do Brasil 500 anos. Impulsionaram várias performances sem, no entanto, atravessarem o corpus teórico dos integrantes do Perforum na época. A relevância necessária sobre o devir-negro e o devir-ameríndio dos anos por vir só foi alcançada com as leituras teóricas mais recentes sobre a descolonização.

A smelt on histopathological changes in the fallopian tubes of 21 young and healthy nonpregnant women was done. Among these subjects 11 were taken as control (Group A) who did not use any of the contraceptive methods and compared with remaining 10 subjects (Group 0) who used oral contraceptives. About 1.5 cm of each fallopian rube was collected during the process of nebectomy by Pomeroy's method. These tissue samples were processed for H/E staining and microscopic observations were done. On the basis of microscopical findings the fallopian tubes were categorised into normal, acute endosalphingitis, subacute endosalphingitis and chronic endosalphingitis'. Microscopical findings taken into consideration were oedema. polymorphonuclear leucocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells and fibrosis. All findings were recorded and statistical analysis was done by student test. Incidence of chronic endosalphigitis was significantly increased (p<0.01) in case of pill user group in comparison to COMM! group.

Many analytical models have been developed for addressing the Vender selection for companies. There are a list of vendor for selecting materials. It is very difficult to select a genuine vendor. Since the selection of a vendor is influenced by several parameters which are in linguistic. Form also, therefore to quantity the linguistic variables fuzzy logic and set theory is used. The fuzzy set theory helps in vagueness of the system a fuzzy decision approach is developed where are resourcing of vendors to select suitable vendor for materials is made.

Authors: KIRANKAYA Halis Gürkan
Published: November 2020

20. yüzyıl Amerikalı besteci Aaron Copland, Paris’te aldığı eğitim sonrası ülkesine dönerek Amerikan müziği kültürünün oluşturulmasında önemli katkıları olmuş bir bestecidir. Benny Goodman’ın, 20. yüzyıl Amerikalı klarnetçilerinden biri olmasının yanında klasik klarnet repertuvarına da önemli katkıları olmuştur. Klarnet Konçertosu’nun Goodman’ın siparişi üzerine bestelenişi, Copland’ın da yapıtı bestelerken Goodman’ın caz klarnetçisi stilini göz önünde bulundurarak bir kompozisyon oluşturması, besteci-yorumcu ilişkisine verilebilecek güzel örneklerden biridir. Klarnet konçertosunun çalışma teknikleri üzerine önerilerden oluşan bu çalışmada Copland ve Goodmann’ın hayatları hakkında kısa da olsa bilgi verilmiş, klarnet konçertosunun besteleniş öyküsü de ele alınmıştır. Bir müzik yapıtının yorumlanmasında, bestecisinin yaşamı, eserin besteleniş öyküsü ve çalışma yöntemlerini bilmek, yapıtı yorumlayan açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışma, yapıtı yorumlayacak klarnet sanatçılarına teknik ve yorumsal açıdan yardımcı olmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Published: November 2020

As primeiras revistas científicas de indole geral surgiram para dar resposta à necessidade de comunicação e estreitamento de relações entre as diversas comunidades intelectuais científicas da Europa que se formaram a partir do Século XVI.Muitas vezes estas revistas tornaram-se um meio de gestão do conhecimento científico, quer como compilações de informação e apresentações de resultados produzidos, quer como catálogos bibliográficos. A partir do início do Século XIX, as revistas especializadas em Matemática e, em particular, revistas de resenhas tiveram um papel importante na internacionalização da comunidade matemática. Já ao nível superior de especialização, serviram como fonte de classificão das diversas áreas em categorias e subareas.O artigo pretende de apresentar um panorama desta evolução, incluindo alguns detalhes menos conhecidos sobre o papel do Jornal de Teixeira, manifestado no Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik, com grande influência na inclusão de matemáticos portugueses no processo da internacionalização.
FÓRMULA DE DE MOIVRE, OU DE BINET OU DE LAMÉ: DEMONSTRAÇÕES E GENERALIDADES SOBRE A SEQUÊNCIA GENERALIZADA DE FIBONACCI - SGF
Authors: Alves Francisco Regis Vieira
Published: November 2020

Nosso objetivo, com este trabalho, consiste em apresentar algumas ideias e demonstrações relacionadas com a validez do teorema de De Moivre, ou de Binet ou de Lamé. Todavia, não podemos discutir uma relação explicita dos termos da Sequência de Fibonacci – SF, deixando de mencionar e apresentar as possibilidades de generalização do modelo matemático que prevê a reprodução dos “coelhos imortais”. Desse modo, abordamos ainda, a discussão de determinada generalização, indicadas por Brousseau (1965). Hoggat & Wenner (1969) e Alves & Borges Neto (2011), que possibilitam sua extensao ao campo dos números inteiros. Por fim, trazemos ao leitor, a proposição dos modelos relativos às sequências de Tribonacci, Tetranacci, etc., bem como uma reflexão do comportamento previsto do Teorema de De Moivre, de Binet ou de Lamé para tais sequências, pouco referenciadas nos compêndios de Historia da Matemática.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Today film-based technologies are largely abandoned in dental radiology. New technologies based on digital detectors are being adopted. This change is part of the global digitalization of radiological procedures. A person operating the radiological device needs to be educated and well informed about radiological procedures and technologies, as well as to know how the system operates and to be sure about the dose required for the adequate image quality. The awareness of radiation doses received by patients is necessary for the estimation of risk from ionizing radiation.Material and methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether patient doses in intraoral dental radiology affect image quality. The study included subjective analysis of radiological image quality for an intraoral x-ray device with possibility to use both digital and film detector. Subjective assessment of image quality is performed according to criteria taken from the literature and is expressed using the Likert scale, grade 1–5. In order to improve the quality of inferential statistics related ratings to detector quality and image quality were collected, thus introducing two variables: the detector quality index and the technique quality index.Results: Z-test proportions column shows that the number of grades four given as a contrast score is significantly higher in the RVG detector (65%) compared to the film (40%). There is also a significant difference in the number of given grades five as a rating of the apex preview. The share of grades five in film is 19%, while in RVG it is 42%. It is similar in the evaluation of the preview of the dental canal, where there is also a significant difference in the number of given grades five, so that the share in the film is 11% and in RVG 35%.Conclusion: Analysis of the subjective quality of the radiological image in devices for intraoral radiography with the possibility of recording using digital and film detectors indicates that the digital detector is superior to film in low contrast resolution, apex and dental canal preview.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Among the female population, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world, and nearly half of women population with breast cancer develop metastatic disease during their lifetime. Breast cancer most often metastazises to the lungs, liver, bones, brain and lymph nodes. 18F-FDG PET/CT can detect metastases that are not visible in other imaging modalities, and with the newly discovered lesions, decision about adequate treatment option can be evaluated.Material and methods: The examination was conducted as a retrospective descriptive study in May and June of 2019 at the Clinic for Nuclear Medicine and Endocrinology of the University Clinical Center in Sarajevo. It included 100 female patients with the age structure of 33-79 years. The patient's reference diagnosis is breast cancer, with a suspected finding of metastatic activity. A comparison of the sensitivity and specificity of the breast imaging between PET/CT, CT and bone scintigraphy was performed.Results: PET/CT revealed significantly more positive findings on metastatic activity than other diagnostic imaging modalities, with Mann-Whitney test value of p = 0.01014. In the diagnosis of lungs and liver lesions, PET/CT sensitivity and specificity are 92.59% and 85.37%, respectively, while the statistical parameters for CT are 77.78% for sensitivity and 90.24% for specificity. The PET/CT sensitivity and specificity for bone lesions are 93.55% and 88.89%, respectively, compared to 78.57% and 100% for bone scintigraphy.Conclusion: Hybrid imaging technique, which integrates PET and CT imaging methods, has considerable advantages over other diagnostic methods in the detection of distant metastases, and based on obtained results, PET/CT may be method of choice in evaluation of metastatic activity in breast cancer.

Published: November 2020

Background

Hepatitis B and C are infectious diseases caused by the hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and C virus respectively, that affects the liver. Hepatitis viruses are transmitted by blood-to-blood contact associated with dialysis, poorly sterilized medical equipment, needle-stick injuries, blood transfusion, and intravenous drug users.

Methods

this is a cross-sectional study conducted in the Hemodialysis Unit of Baghdad Teaching Hospital between the period of April and September 2018. Ninety-eight patients were enrolled in this study after adopting informed consent.

All patients were on regular hemodialysis as a renal replacement therapy with different durations. Full history was taken from them including age, gender, occupation, marital status, and past medical and surgical histories. Blood test results were also recorded. all data were analyzed using SPSS20 with 95%confidence which means a p-value less than 0.05 to be statistically significance.

Results

The percentage of Hemodialysis patients infected with Hepatitis C was (43%) while those infected with Hepatitis B was (3%). There is no statistically significant association between age and infection with Hepatitis B & C (P>0.05). The mean age of patients infected with Hepatitis B was (65.8±8.2), while for patients infected with Hepatitis C it was (45.3±14.7).

Conclusion

Hepatitis C is more prevalent than Hepatitis B in the Hemodialysis Unit and the infection was not statistically associated with the age or gender of the patients
