Introduction

Pertussis outbreaks have occurred in several industrialised countries using acellular pertussis vaccines (ACVs) since the 1990s. High prevalence of pertactin (PRN)-deficient Bordetella pertussis isolates has been found in these countries.

Aims

To evaluate in Europe: (i) whether proportions of PRN-deficient strains increased in consecutive collections of B. pertussis clinical isolates; (ii) if the frequency of PRN-deficient strains in countries correlated with the time since ACV introduction; (iii) the presence of pertussis toxin (PT)-, filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA)- or fimbriae (Fim)-deficient isolates.

Methods

B. pertussis clinical isolates were obtained from different European countries during four periods (EUpert I–IV studies): 1998 to 2001 (n = 102), 2004 to 2005 (n = 154), 2007 to 2009 (n = 140) and 2012 to 2015 (n = 265). The isolates’ selection criteria remained unchanged in all periods. PRN, PT, FHA and Fim2 and Fim3 expression were assessed by ELISA.

Results

In each period 1.0% (1/102), 1.9% (3/154), 6.4% (9/140) and 24.9% (66/265) of isolates were PRN-deficient. In EUpert IV, PRN-deficient isolates occurred in all countries sampled and in six countries their frequency was higher than in EUpert III (for Sweden and the United Kingdom, p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0155, respectively). Sweden and Italy which used ACVs since the mid 1990s had the highest frequencies (69%; 20/29 and 55%; 11/20, respectively) while Finland, where primary immunisations with ACV containing PRN dated from 2009 had the lowest (3.6%). Throughout the study, no PT- or FHA-deficient isolate and one Fim2/3-deficient was detected.

Conclusion

Results suggest that the longer the period since the introduction of ACVs containing PRN, the higher the frequency of circulating PRN-deficient isolates.
RSP: Intangible Capital: Culture of Innovation and its Impact on the Cash Flow Multiple
Authors: R. Gregory James
Published: February 2019

Intangible assets are growing exponentially as a component of company value, but these assets are often unmanaged due to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which provide no accountability. This research paper reaffirms and expands a proven alternative approach, which utilizes the CoreBrand Index® to measure, value, and manage intangible assets, and their financial impact on the corporation’s cash flow multiple.
Labor Planning Outcomes - Systemic Management Models, Human Interactions, and Knowledge Sharing
Authors: J Tarpey Richard
Published: February 2019

Hospitals typically plan and allocate labor from a siloed, department focused perspective. This approach, however, does not align with the system perspective of patient movement through a hospital. This disconnect results in a breakdown of system feedback loops concerning labor planning and allocation resulting in sub-optimized results. A systemic, centralized approach to labor planning and allocation can re-engage the systemic feedback loops to provide better-managed labor for the benefit of the hospital service line systems.
EARLY OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME WITHOUT PERSISTENT ST ELEVATION, TRANSPORTED TO A VASCULAR CENTER BY AMBULANCE
Authors: Kharitonov A. A. , Shtegman O. A.
Published: February 2019

The aimwas to study early outcomes in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation who were transported by emergency to the vascular center.Material and Methods. We studied medical records from 396 patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation. A telephone survey of patients or their relatives was conducted within two months after the emergency call.Results. In-hospital diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome was confirmed only in 30.6% of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation admitted to the vascular center. Cardiologists in the vascular center were ruling out diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation based on data of clinical examination and electrocardiography. During the following two months, 6.4% of the patients with ruled out diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome called emergency again; 2% of the patients were admitted with acute coronary syndrome to the vascular center; and 2.4% of the patients died at home.Conclusion. In real clinical practice, the assessment of myocardial necrosis biomarkers has been used not enough in cases of suspected acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation.

Authors: Mitkovskaya N. P. , Balysh E. M. , Gusina A. A. , Statkevich T. V.
Published: February 2019

The aimof the study was to identify clinical and laboratory features of the disease in patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation and C677T polymorphism in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene.Material and Methods. A total of 81 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were examined. Clinical, laboratory, instrumental, and statistical methods were used.Conclusion. Among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, the proportion of persons with homozygous carriership of polymorphic alleles in the MTHFR gene was 30% (genotype 677СС); and 58.02% (genotype 677СT) of patients were heterozygous carriers. Patients with homozygous carriership of polymorphic alleles in the MTHFR gene were characterized by higher values of Big endothelin-1 and homocysteine in serum compared with persons with genotype 677СС: 10.7 (4.5–14.5) pg/mL, 27 (20–28) μmol/L, and 2.7 (2.2–3.8) pg/mL, and 17 (14–20) μmol/L, respectively, p<0.05. A positive moderate force correlation was found between the carriership of polymorphic alleles MTHFR C677T and homocysteine levels (r=0.42, p<0.05) and Big endothelin-1 (r=0.45, p<0.05) in the cohort under study. In patients with homozygous carriership of polymorphic alleles in the MTHFR gene, myocardial infarction was significantly more often complicated by the development of recurrent coronary events in comparison with groups with heterozygous carriership and the absence of polymorphic alleles in this gene: 88.9% (n=8) versus 42.55% (n=20), χ2=6.5, p<0.05 and 28% (n=7), χ2=10.0, p<0.01 respectively.

Published: February 2019

Practical skills have been and are still important in productive professions such as metal and glass processing, watch and tool manufacturing, building, ship building and others. A physician must also acquire certain practical skills in order to properly diagnose the disease and to treat the patient.In this article we overview the origins of medical students’ training (“at the bedside of the sick”), describe the birth of the Vilnius university clinics, present the statistical data of the treated patients, and analyse diagnoses and treatment methods of nervous system diseases at the beginning of the 19th century in Vilnius.Anthropometric, morphometric, somatic, and neurological examinations were performed in Vilnius clinics. Vilnius physicians and professors of clinical medicine, as well as medical students evaluated pupillary light reflex, patient’s response to painful stimuli, their mental condition, paroxysmal movements, limb position, weakness of limb movements, some sensory modalities – touch, vision, audition, smell, taste, as well as dysfunction of pelvic organs, among the other signs and symptoms. In Vilnius, as in other European clinics, the causes of the diseases were sought in the internal organs (the influence of the solidism theory), but autopsy findings usually revealed the brain and spinal cord congestion with blood, confirming the inflammation of the nervous system (or humoralism) theory.The level of diagnostics and treatment of nervous system diseases in Vilnius corresponded to the level of Western Europe in the first half of the 19th century.

Published: February 2019

Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is one of the most common inherited mitochondrial optic neuropathies, caused by mitochondrial DNA mutations. Three most common mutations, namely m.11778G>A, m.14484T>G, and m.3460G>A, account for the majority of LHON cases. These mutations lead to mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I damage. Typically, LHON presents at the age of 15–35 years, with male predominance.LHON is associated with severe, subacute, and painless bilateral vision loss and accounts for one of the most common causes of legal blindness in young individuals. Spontaneous visual acuity recovery has been reported in patients harbouring m.14484T>C mutation, however, this inherited optic neuropathy results in irreversible vision loss.Up to date LHON treatment is limited. Idebenone has been approved by EMA to treat LHON. However, better understanding of disease mechanisms and ongoing treatment trials are promising and brings hope for patients.In this article we summarize clinical presentation, diagnostic features, and treatment of LHON.

Published: February 2019

The aim of the article is to study theoretical, methodological, and doctrinal approaches to public procurement of medicines and on this basis to determine ways to improve domestic legislation in this sphere. The subject of the study is public procurement of medicines. Methodology. The study is based on general scientific and special-scientific methods and techniques of scientific knowledge. The historical and legal method enabled to determine the preconditions for public procurement of medicines as a fundamental element of state financial guarantees for the pharmaceutical sphere in Ukraine and in the world, as well as the development of scientific and theoretical views on the nature, problems, and methods of public procurement of medications. The comparative legal method enabled to compare doctrinal approaches to public procurement of medicinal products. The systemstructural method contributed to the consideration of public procurement of medications as a fundamental institutional and functional element of state financial guarantees for the pharmaceutical sector. The methods of grouping and classifying were the basis for the author’s approach to public procurement of medicines for the most important and practically significant criteria. The technical legal method enabled to interrogate the state of affairs in the statutory and legal regulation of the national system of public procurement of medications, to identify its disadvantages, gaps, contradictions and miscalculations, as well as to develop recommendations aimed at their elimination. The results of the study revealed that public procurement of medicines should be considered as an activity of a public administration or specialized agencies authorized by it, aimed at purchasing medicinal products by the procurer funded from taxpayer’s money and preserving the health of citizens via a transparent control by the state (via the Prozoro system). Practical implications. In the study: first, the key aspects of the genesis of public procurement of medicines are outlined; second, scientific approaches to their characteristics, available in the special literature, are analysed and compared; third, the author’s original perspective concerning legislative regulation and consolidation in the current legal regulations is substantiated.

Se estudiaron problemas de los habitantes del área protegida denominada "La Pera" en la salud de sus gallinas domésticas. Se registraron explicaciones locales sobre padecimientos importantes y se hizo un estudio clínico preliminar que mostró la presencia de bacterias de las familias Microccocaceae, Enterobacteraceae y Sthaphylococcaceae. Se encontraron protozoarios de la familia Eimeridae y nemátodos de Trichuridae, Heterakidae, Eimeridae, Strongylidae, Trichostrongylidae y Ascaridae.Varios géneros de estos organismos pueden afectar la salud humana. Los habitantes reconocen que tales problemas sanitarios son severos pero no saben cómo emprender un enfoque preventivo, lo cual contrasta con la escasa intervención gubernamental. Así, debe fortalecerse el conocimiento local y modificarse las políticas públicas sobre las áreas naturales protegidas de Chiapas para fortalecer integradamente la salud animal y humana.

Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, com abordagem fenomenológica hermenêutica, apoiada nos ensinamentos de Martin Heidegger que buscou compreender os significados do estágio em Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS), entendido como uma possibilidade de habitar e 'ser-com-outro' no mundo do trabalho, para dez estudantes do último ano da graduação. Para os pesquisados, coabitar o mundo da UBS é percebido como cumprimento de uma orientação educacional obrigatória, que pode qualificar a formação e também uma possibilidade de as pessoas envolvidas ensinarem e aprenderem. Porém, o estudo desvelou a necessidade de fortalecimento da comunicação entre docentes e estudantes para que as intencionalidades e as potencialidades da integração ensino-serviço de saúde estejam mais claras para os estudantes. Os estudantes parecem ter sido lançados na UBS sem muito conhecimento e apropriação em relação ao porquê de eles vivenciarem este espaço existencial.
Eastward-moving convection-enhanced modons in shallow water in the equatorial tangent plane
Authors: Rostami M.
Published: February 2019

We report a discovery of steady long-living slowly eastward moving large-scale coherent twin cyclones, the equatorial modons, in the shallow water model in the equatorial beta-plane, the archetype model of the ocean and atmosphere dynamics in tropics. We start by constructing analytical asymptotic modon solutions in the non-divergent velocity approximation and then show by simulations with a high-resolution numerical scheme that such configurations evolve into steady dipolar solutions of the full model. In the atmospheric context, the modons persist in the presence of moist convection, being accompanied and enhanced by specific patterns of water-vapour condensation.

An agent-based approach to weighted decision making in the spatially and temporally variable South African Palaeoscape
Authors: Wren Colin D. , Atwater Chloe , Hill Kim , Janssen Marco , de Vynck Jan , Marean Curtis W.
Published: February 2019

Even a simple human foraging system has a large number of moving parts. Foragers require a complex decision making process to effectively exploit the spatially and temporally variable resources in an environment. Here we present an agent-based modelling framework, based in optimal foraging theory, for agent foragers to make mobility and foraging decisions by weighing expected caloric returns against geographic and social factors, and forecasted future return rates. We apply our Paleoscape model to a spatially explicit South African coastal landscape to better understand the human foraging system of the Middle Stone Age, when foragers began systematically exploiting a wide variety of flora and fauna in both terrestrial and inter-tidal environments. We also discuss the broader importance of agent-based models of foraging systems for a wide variety of archaeological research questions.

Stitch per inch is defined as the one of many quality parameters which evaluated in the garment industry. The strength of the stitch will be determined by stitch per inch, both on the clothes and fabrics. Conventionally, stitch per inch determined by using a traditionaly visual method. Many researchers have been developed the image processing technology which applied into various textile fields. In this reserach, it has been developed a new method and a new software which could determine stitch per inch on fabrics using the image processing techniques. Stitch per inch measurement has been done using the box counting method (pixel) on image processing software. Stitch per inch in several fabrics (with different color and structures) has been measured, which shows that the value of the each methods are equal
Советская орфография: предыстория, программы, реализация
Authors: Pletneva Alexandra
Published: February 2019

The article is devoted to the orthographic reform of 1917-1918 and the cultural and historical context in which it was prepared. The era between the reign of Alexander II and the revolution is characterized by a broad public debate about a wide range of reforms. During these decades, a mass of various reform projects appeared. It is in this context that projects of simplification of Russian orthography should also be considered. The issue of simplification of orthography was first raised by the teachers, complaining that teaching children orthographic rules took almost the entire academic time. In the course of this discussion, positions of both reform advocates and their opponents were formed. Then public and academic institutions developing the reform project began to arise. The projects of “simplified” orthography, which resulted from the reform”, in practice meant its approach to a variety of "national" orthography systems. In the first years after the revolution, many of the projects discussed before the revolution were realized. The orthographic reform was among them. The new norm was much more rigid and brooked no exceptions, unlike the pre-reform one.

Authors: Hoang Tung , Phan Ton Huu , Tong Hai Van , Tran Trung Nam
Published: February 2019

Most rice growing areas frequently encounter the bacterial leaf blight, Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo). To prevent the disease, development of resistant varieties is considered to be the most economical and environmentally safe solution. In this study, three PCR-based markers, Npb181, RM122, and P3, were used for the identification of the genes Xa4, xa5, and Xa7, respectively, from 56 local black glutinous rice accessions of Vietnam. Phenotypic screening of the accessions for resistance to 10 Xoo strains of North Vietnam, along with IRBB4, IRBB5, and IRBB7 as resistant controls and IR24 as a susceptible control were carried out in the 2016 Autumn season. 19 accessions containing the resistant genes were found, of these, 6 accessions carried Xa4 gene, 6 accessions carried xa5 gene, and 11 accessions carried Xa7 gene. Three accessions carried two resistance genes, viz. Nep do (Xa4 and Xa7), Pau cam (xa5 and Xa7), and Pe lon cam (Xa4 and xa5). Accessions with xa5 and Xa7 alone or with a combination of two genes (Xa4 and xa5, Xa4 and Xa7, or xa5 and Xa7) were resistantto 8-9 Xoo strains (8-9R/0M/1-2S). Accessions containing Xa4 showed resistance to 5-6 strains of Xoo (5-6R/0M/4-5S). Xoo strain No1 (HUA01043) showed the lowest virulence, infecting only 14 accessions (42R/4M/14S). Strains No3 (HUA 0020131-2), No4 (HUA202361), No5 (HUA20212), and No8 (HUA 020083) showed highest virulence, and they each infected more than 40 accessions with 19R/0M/41S, 20R/0M/40S, 16R/4M/40S, and 20R/0M/40S, respectively. These strains can even infect some accessions containing effective resistant genes (Xa4 or Xa7).

Published: February 2019

Green building is refers to both a structure and the using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource efficient throughout the building’s life cycle. Green building concept is introduced in 1960s and has gradually spread throughout the world and emphasized more on to energy conserving for office building in 1970s. In Malaysia, the green building concept has been accepted after announcement of 9th Malaysian Plan (2006-2010) in 2006 with focusing more on Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE). Furthermore, Malaysia has launched its own Green building Index (GBI) in year 2009. However this GBI is concentrated only on the measurement of green building but not for other aspects of green building such as indoor environmental quality, sustainable site planning and management, and so on. Moreover, the development of green building concept has occurred with limited understanding and guidance, and some cases have added a cost to the development. Therefore, this paper aims to identify factor influencing green building practice in Malaysia as well as to study awareness on green building practices amongst construction industry practitioner. The findings of this research were based on the questionnaires mailed and e-mailed to 75 construction industry companies; Property development company, Contractor company, Architect firm and Property management company within Klang Valley area. The findings have identified independent/government rating system as the main factor influencing construction industry player to undertaking green building practice. The results also revealed that the awareness amongst the construction players towards sustainable green building concept is moderate, and property development companies contributed to the highest mean score. These results show the willingness of the respondents to participate and committed with the green building development. This will allow recommendations to help ensure more sustainable green building development in Malaysia in the future.

Published: February 2019

Although the important influence of IFIs on economic growth is acknowledged, yet the contribution of Nigeria’s IFIs shows a gross underperformance. In addition, the practice of Islamic Finance is increasingly being viewed as not only serving as alternative for the Muslims but successful business practices around the world. Previous literature reveals that theoretical contributions in the area remained limited in the Nigerian, therefore, there is a need for more studies on corporate governance in the context of IFIs, especially in Nigeria, where IFI are considered as important financial institutions to the Muslims. Moreover, studies in Nigeria revealed absence of comprehensive framework for the Islamic finance industry. On the other hand, poor Islamic Work Ethics conquers a central position for the low performance of Nigerian IFIs. The paper presents a theoretical framework on the moderating effect of Islamic Work Ethics on the relationship between Islamic corporate Governance practices and the performance of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) in Nigeria. If validated, the model would have policy implications to IFIs and other stakeholders in decision making.

Assessment rate is the only local tax form in Malaysia and it is a main source of income for local authorities. It is also may be considered as a potential source of income to replace grants from the Federal Government. Revenue from assessment rates is crucial for the local authorities to pay for services and maintenance in the local authority administrative areas, as well as for their effective administration and service delivery system. However, arrears of assessment rates of local authorities in Malaysia have become national issues and it becomes more challenging over time to recover the arrears. Local authorities are faced with various issues and problems in collecting and enforcing arrears of assessment rates. Thus, it is the aims of this study to examine the problems of rate assessment arrears collection and to identify regulatory barriers in collecting assessment rates arrears amongst local authorities. The scope of the study however is limited to the local authorities in the northern region of Malaysia only. The study employs socio-legal research where apart from library based research, questionnaires were distributed to legal officers, valuation officers and accountants from various department of local authorities. This study finds that the amount of revenue collected is decreasing due to loopholes of the law and ineffective enforcement of the law by local authorities. It is also found that the local authorities’ officers lack of understanding of the law and procedures on the collection of assessment rates arrears. It is suggested that the law should be amended and the training should be provided for the improvement of the assessment rate collection.
