Authors: Burceva Rita , Karagiozova Maya , Nedkova Dasa
Published: November 2016

The direct didactic interpretation of the educational activity of museums has exhausted itself, therefore these cultural institutions should turn to more current methods of promotion of material and non-material heritage along with the tradition forms of activity. The purpose of the research is to establish and analyse the possibilities of museums in terms of public education, making use of the modern technologies. Methods: theoretical literature analysis, collaborative field research, case analysis.The National Museum of Education of Bulgaria in Gabrovo is famous for its artefacts, which characterise the historical development of education in Bulgaria since the 9th century. Therefore this museum is unique in Europe. As a result of the digitization of the museum’s collection it can offer extensive information opportunities and tools to the visitors and users of the museum. According to the legislative changes of 2016, the functions of the National Museum of Education are also expanded, and it becomes a special link of support in the education system of Bulgaria, developing the Centre for Study Visualisation. An innovative element of the museum’s activity is the professional development and dissemination of study visualisation for the purpose of enriching the choice of teaching aids (education films, multimedia presentations, tables and schemes, exhibitions) for use in the study process at general education establishments. The development of such planned, coordinated, state financed and corresponding to the demand study visualisations is an example of good practice of the contribution of the National Museum of Education in public education and it creates bases for adopting the positive experience in other countries.

Authors: Traumann Ada , Beilmann Merje , Tuulik Diana
Published: November 2016

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the impact of maintenance to some mechanical properties of coated fabrics. Polyester is often used for outerwear because of its high durability. Coating application enhances several physical – mechanical properties of fabric. The reverse side of the test fabrics were laminated with a thin layer of the membrane to ensure complete water resistance. Since the micro-pores are sufficiently small, they will not let water through, but they let vapour through from inside to outside. It makes these kind fabrics vapour-permeable and therefore very comfortable for wearing. Although we can damage the micro-pores in the fabric very quickly whether by false maintenance mode at home for washing or drying. Test fabrics of this study were chosen from kid`s outerwear collection. Kids are good for testing of ready to wear garments but this time, the emphasis was on laboratory tests of basic fabrics. The aim of this study was to test the outer fabric under the conditions of domestic care and thereafter to carry out tests on abrasion resistance and tearing of cared fabrics.

Authors: Ignatovica Agate , Apele Diana
Published: November 2016

The aim of the article is to explore the psychological effects that clothing fabric patterns leave on personal image, as well as to understand graphical forms with whom we can help to create the body optical illusions. Research methods: Theoretical – the appropriate literature, scientific database and internet source research. Lecture visits of professional image designers and stylists, interviews and personal experience in this sphere.Conclusion: Any type of textile print will leave an effect and create associations. Form and colours create the textile print. By choosing the right type of print, the wearer can create a certain psychological mood, as well as optically correct the parts of the body. When choosing a textile print, several factors must be taken in notice – body type, silhouette type, colours of the season, age, social status, individual style etc. If faced with contradictory information about the style, priority should be given to own personal reference, because that will create a harmonious essence as well as create a psychological comfort to the wearer.

Published: November 2016

This paper presents a possible application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in a multi-criteria analysis of components importance to a system reliability structure illustrated by a stern tube sealing system installed on deep sea ships. We used the AHP to determine the relevance of the importance ranks and made an importance analysis for the criteria of reliability, safety and repair costs. We compared our results with the measures analysed and presented in literature before. We also presented some conclusions on using the AHP for multi-criteria analysis of components importance in Complex Technical Systems (CTS). We finished with suggestions for further research on quantitative and qualitative methods of importance analysis.

Individual studies and meta-analyses highlight superior survival outcomes among those multiple myeloma patients achieving measurable residual disease (MRD) negative status. With the availability of next-generation flow cytomery and sequencing technologies, it is realistically possible to track MRD response in every patient. As the scientific evidence mounts, MRD is being established as a desired end-point for clinical trials. Future efforts should be directed at validating MRD as a surrogate biomarker for developing curative strategies and determining how MRD can be used to guide therapeutic decisions.

Published: November 2016

Background: Comminuted intertrochanteric fractures with severe displacement are common in elderly patients. These patients have poor bone quality and conventional osteosynthetic procedures frequently lead to non-union and metal failure. The primary goals of treatment are stable fixation and early rehabilitation. There are a many treatment for intertrochanteric fractures but our study is on unstable intertrochanteric fractures which are challenging for a surgeon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty as an alternative to other treatment modalities such as DHS or PFN. 21 elderly patients with comminuted and unstable intertrochanteric fractures underwent cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

Methods: This study includes 22 cases of intratrochantric fracture. Mean age of patients was 73.3 (range 60 - 91). All patients are treated with bipolar hemiarthoplasty. Patients are followed up for a mean period of 6 months (range 3-9 months).

Results: These patients were evaluated using the Harris hip scoring system. 21 out of 22 had excellent to fair outcomes.

Conclusions: In our study of 22 patients, 21 had excellent to fair outcomes with primary cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Bipolar hemiarthoplasty offers good functional outcome and early weight bearing and mobilization.

Authors: Prabu Anandha , N. Jambu , Babu Ganesh
Published: November 2016

Background: Deep vein thrombosis following orthopedic surgeries particularly hip and knee arthroplasty is due to the accompanying blood vessel trauma, venous stasis, coagulation activation and older age in most of the patients. This study aims to study the efficacy of newer anticoagulants such as direct thrombin and direct factor Xa inhibitors in prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following arthroplasties.

Methods: Tablet Apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily was administered for 15 days following total knee replacement (TKR) and 30 days following total hip replacement (THR) or hemiarthroplasties.  Patients were examined clinically and radiologically with colour doppler of both lower limbs from 5th-13th and 30th-42th day postoperatively during follow up.

Results: Only 3 out of 53 patients who underwent hip/knee arthroplasty developed DVT (p <0.05) which were found to be significant.

Conclusions: The prevention of DVT in hip and knee arthoplasty using newer anticoagulant Apixaban was more efficacious, well tolerated with low rate of bleeding.

Authors: Cifuentes Rodrigo Hipólito , Placido Espinoza Rosas , Salvador Jiménez Urueta
Published: November 2016

Intrucccion. La cápsula endoscópica (CE) es un dispositivo que permite examinar el intestino delgado. La cápsula es impulsada por la peristalsis a lo largo del tubo gastrointestinal y proporciona imágenes de video que son transmitidas por telerradiometría y captadas por una red de antenas adheridas al cuerpo. La cápsula puede detectar lesiones intestinales en pacientes con enfermedad de Crohn, con enfermedad celíaca; tumores malignos, alteraciones por el uso de antiinflamatorios no esteroides y síndromes que cursan con pólipos, malformaciones vasculares y hemangiomas. Presentamos la experiencia en nuestro hospital. Material y método. En el Centro Médico Nacional 20 de Noviembre ISSSTE México de enero 2008 a marzo 2009 se realizó un estudio prospectivo no aleoatorizado, en pacientes con sangrado de tubo digestivo de origen desconocido cuyos estudios con panendoscopia y colonoscopia eran normales. Además de los parámetros habituales se registraron el diagnóstico inicial, el diagnóstico final, el tratamiento médico, el quirúrgico o ambos y la evolución. Resultados. Fueron ocho pacientes entre nueve y 15 años de edad (media de 12). Seis masculinos y dos femeninos. Dos pacientes tenían hiperplasia linfoidea; un paciente tenía un hemangioma a 25 cm del Treitz. Dos pacientes, enfermedad de Crohn; un paciente pólipos en la porción media del íleon; un caso normal. En todos los casos excepto en el que el estudio fue normal, se resecaron las lesiones y se tomó una biopsia. La evolución fue satisfactoria en todos. Discusión: La cápsula endoscópica es útil para detectar sangrado del intestino. Se usa cuando la colonoscopia y la panendoscopia son negativas y el paciente continúa sangrando; proporciona una imagen de certeza y permite evaluar la necesidad o no de un tratamiento quirúrgico.

Litotripsia extracorpórea por ondas de choque en niños. A propósito de un caso complicado
Authors: Rafael Alvarado García , Alejandro Xicoténcatl Mundo Alegría
Published: November 2016

La litotripsia extracorpórea es un procedimiento eﬁcaz en el tratamiento de litiasis renal y ureteral. En pediatría ha adquirido gran acep- tación por la facilidad del procedimiento, mayor disponibilidad de litotriptores y acortamiento de la estancia hospitalaria. Sin embargo, las complicaciones que puede desarrollar el paciente pediátrico pueden variar desde las sintomáticas (dolor) hasta las que comprometen la función renal. Presentamos el caso de una adolescente de 15 años de edad con litiasis renal bilateral que fue sometida a una sesión de litotripsia extracorpórea. Esta intervención causó un hematoma renal izquierdo, que se visualizó con ultrasonido y tomografía computada renal. Se trató en forma conservadora y el hematoma desapareció 13 semanas después. Cuatro semanas después la paciente desarrolló hipertensión arterial sistémica; hubo disminución de la tasa de ﬁltración glomerular en el riñón ipsilateral que cedieron posteriormente. La litotripsia extracorpórea en pediatría es eﬁcaz para el tratamiento de litiasis renal y ureteral. Es un procedimiento sencillo y rápido. El desarrollo de un hematoma renal es una complicación infrecuente, menor al 1%. La monitorización y el seguimiento clínico del paciente permiten identiﬁcarla y tratarla oportunamente.

Published: November 2016

Antecedentes: la infancia es el periodo más importante de crecimiento físico y de desarrollo cognitivo de las personas. Diversos estudios mues- tran que el crecimiento y estado nutricional de los pacientes pediátricos infectados con VIH generalmente se encuentran alterados.
Objetivo: evaluar la prevalencia en las alteraciones en el crecimiento y en el estado nutricional de pacientes pediátricos, infectados con VIH, atendidos en la Clínica de VIH del Instituto Nacional de Pediatría.
Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, de una muestra de 49 pacientes: 22 niñas y 27 niños de entre 3 meses y 18 años de edad. Se les realizó una evaluación completa del estado nutricional en la que se consideraron indicadores antropométricos, bioquímicos, clínicos y dietéticos.
Resultados: la alteración del estado nutricional que se encontró con más frecuencia fue la desnutrición crónica compensada. Se observó una mayor prevalencia de desnutrición aguda en lactantes y preescolares. En los pacientes hospitalizados se observó una mayor frecuencia de desnutrición aguda. En la evaluación bioquímica se buscaron dislipi- demias y anemia. El 46.9% de la muestra presentó alguna alteración en las concentraciones plasmáticas de triglicéridos, colesterol total, o ambos. En la evaluación clínica el síntoma que se presentó con mayor frecuencia fue la diarrea en 100% de los pacientes hospitalizados. La evaluación dietética mostró que ninguno de los pacientes cumplía con todos los criterios de una dieta correcta en su alimentación.
Conclusiones: con los resultados de este estudio se evidencia la impor- tancia de la intervención nutricional en los pacientes de la Clínica de VIH del Instituto Nacional de Pediatría, por lo que se debe considerar incluir a un nutriólogo como parte del equipo multidisciplinario.

Published: November 2016

El objetivo de este trabajo es compartir la experiencia en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de casos de duplicaciones rectales y anales asociadas con malformación anorrectal.
Se reportan dos casos con oclusión intestinal y diagnóstico tardío de la malformación anorrectal tratados inicialmente con laparotomía, anastomosis latero-lateral de la duplicación colónica proximal y co- lostomía y un caso con diagnóstico de malformación anorrectal con fístula recto-perineal al nacimiento al que, al realizarle colostomía, evidenció duplicaciones colónica y rectal relacionadas. En los tres casos se realizó, para su corrección quirúrgica definitiva, un abordaje abdominoperineal y anastomosis latero-lateral de la duplicación rectal, colocación del recto dentro del complejo muscular anorrectal y poste- rior cierre de la colostomía. En un cuarto paciente con malformación anorrectal sin fístula clínicamente evidente y colostomía al nacimiento, la electroestimulación perineal evidenció dos complejos musculares a los que se les realizó un abordaje sagital, observándose dos fondos de sacos ciegos rectales separados. Se realizó anastomosis termino-lateral del recto duplicado y se decidió utilizar el complejo con mayor acti- vidad contráctil para la colocación del neoano. Consideramos que el abordaje sagital posterior es la mejor opción quirúrgica para preservar el complejo muscular con mejor pronóstico para la continencia fecal.
Tumoraciones intracardiacas múltiples en un neonato. Reporte de caso
Authors: David Valdés-Ramos Ben , López-Candiani Carlos
Published: November 2016

Los tumores intracardiacos son poco frecuentes en niños y más aún en los neonatos. La mayoría de este tipo de lesiones son rabdomiomas; usualmente son múltiples y de diferentes tamaños, de localización ven- tricular y muy rara vez se encuentran en las aurículas. Los rabdomiomas se pueden asociar con esclerosis tuberosa de 56 a 86% de los casos.
Actualmente, gracias a las consultas prenatales, las tumoraciones fetales intracardiacas pueden ser diagnosticadas desde el segundo trimestre de la gestación. La gravedad dependerá de la localización del tumor y del efecto hemodinámico que ejerza, más que del tamaño. El seguimiento con ultrasonidos prenatales seriados revela la velocidad del crecimiento tumoral. Se piensa que debido a una estimulación hormonal materna intraútero, entre el segundo y tercer trimestres presenta una tasa de crecimiento acelerada que disminuye a partir de la semana 35.
Se describe el caso de una paciente con diagnóstico prenatal de tumores intracardiacos, referida al departamento de neonatología de un hospital público de especialidades pediátricas.

Influence of drying temperature in spouted bed under the physicochemical characteristics of red cabbage
Abstract: Cabbage is a leafy vegetable with high nutritional value and antioxidant power, but quickly deteriorates because of the high water content. The pulp or mashed fruits and vegetables dehydration process has been widely used due to preservation of nutritional quality, and in turn, the drying in spouted bed has been widely used to cater mainly this requirement. Although the results on the quality of post indicate the feasibility of the spouted bed, it is necessary to study the influence of temperature on the physicochemical characteristics of the resulting powder. In view of all arguments shown, the present work aims to study the influence of the spouted bed temperature on the physicochemical characteristics of the purple cabbage. First was obtained juice and physicochemical characterization of it, then it was dried in spouted bed at temperatures of 60, 70 and 80 ° C and then the powders were subjected to physicochemical evaluation: water activity , water content, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids (° Brix) and color. The water activity and acidity values decreased with increasing temperature, the opposite occur for the other parameters. It is verified a significant influence of temperature on the physical and chemical parameters.

Kecenderungan setiap orang yang ingin melakukan segala sesuatu dengan praktis dan mudah, menyebabkan munculnya keinginan untuk tidak mau dibatasi oleh tempat dan waktu dalam melakukan aktivitas. Demikian pula dalam hal mencatu baterai handphone, akan lebih praktis jika bisa mencatu listrik baterai handphone yang lemah (low battery) tanpa harus bergantung pada ketersediaan sumber arus PLN. Alat yang dirancang dalam penelitian ini digunakan  untuk mencatu handphone tanpa melalui sumber PLN. Rangkaian utama alat ini terdiri dari 3 bagian utama, yaitu multivibrator astabil, voltage quadrupler dan voltage regulation. Rangkaian multivibrator astabil ini akan menghasilkan tegangan keluaran AC yang digunakan sebagai input rangkaian voltage quadrupler agar bisa bekerja. Rangkaian voltage quadrupler ini akan mengalikan  4 kali dari tegangan input yang masuk, sehingga tegangan keluaran (Vout) menjadi 4 kali tegangan masukan (Vin). Hasil akhir dari alat yang sudah dibuat belum memuaskan karena hanya bisa mencatu 1 jenis handset yaitu Nokia seri 8210 dengan efisiensi yang rendah. Untuk kedepannya alat ini bisa dikembangkan lagi dengan menaikkan nilai arus, dengan menggunakan penguatan transistor. Transistor yang digunakan harus memiliki karakteristik nilai hfe yang tinggi dan tegangan DC yang kecil.

Pilot agent memungkinkan objek pesawat di dalam sebuah simulator pengendali lalu lintas udara memiliki tingkah laku (behaviour). Pilot agent dalam simulator ini dirancang untuk dapat merespon gejala cuaca yang diberikan oleh administrator atau instruktur sebelum simulator dijalankan. Respon pilot agent terhadap cuaca buruk kemudian ditampilkan sebagai suatu permasalahan yang harus diatasi oleh pengguna simulator. Gejala cuaca buruk yang akan digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah wet microburst. Pilot dalam dunia nyata memperkirakan kemungkinan munculnya wet microburst dengan memperhatikan visualisasi cuaca di sekitarnya dan laporan cuaca yang diterima. Parameter gejala wet microburst yang digunakan dibatasi pada parameter intensitas hujan dan perbedaan suhu udara dengan titik embun (dew point spread).  Respon pilot agent dibangun menggunakan metode penalaran Fuzzy Reasoning. Hasil reasoning yang dihasilkan dalam penelitian ini selanjutnya dibandingkan dengan hasil reasoning MATLAB untuk mengetahui apakah algoritma yang dihasilkan berjalan dengan baik. Dari hasil perbandingan menunjukkan reasoning yang dihasilkan dalam penelitian ini berjalan dengan baik.

Published: November 2016

Food systems will need to undergo considerable transformation. To be better prepared for and resilient to uncertainty and disturbances in the future, resource users and managers need to further develop knowledge about the food and farming system, with its dominating feedback structures and complexities, and to test robust and integrated system-based solutions. This paper investigates how participatory system dynamics modeling can be adapted to groups at the community level with low or no formal educational background. The paper also analyzes the refinement of workshop participants’ mental models as a consequence of a participatory system dynamics intervention. For this purpose, we ran two workshops with small-scale farmers in Zambia. Analysis of workshop data and post-workshop interviews shows that participatory system dynamics is well adaptable to support an audience-specific learning-by-doing approach. The use of pictures, objects and water glasses in combination with the basic aspects of causal loop diagramming makes for a well-balanced toolbox. Participants acquire understanding that is also relevant beyond systems thinking in that is offers a range of practical insights such as a critical evaluation of common food security strategies.

Temporal Modeling of Neural Net Input/Output Behaviors: The Case of XOR
Authors: Zeigler Bernard , Muzy Alexandre
Published: November 2016

In the context of modeling and simulation of neural nets, we formulate definitions for behavioral realization of memoryless functions. The definitions of realization are substantively different for deterministic and stochastic systems constructed of neuron-inspired components. In contrast to Artificial Neural Nets (ANN), and their myriad-layered deep forms, our definitions of realization fundamentally include temporal and probabilistic characteristics of their inputs, state, and outputs. The realizations that we construct, in particular for the XOR logic gate, provide insight into the temporal and probabilistic characteristics that real neural systems might display. We conclude with implications made when contrasting our time-based neural computation systems to ANN for what real brain computations might involve.
The Physician-Patient Relationship: A Review of Two Theoretical Approaches and Health Regulation Implications
Authors: Yitambe Andre
Published: November 2016

Recent development in the organization of healthcare has impacted on physician and patient relationship. The physician-patient relationship is becoming more and more a universalistic concern. Since Hippocrates, the physician-patient relationship remains the corner stone of medical practice. A number of disciplines have questioned the interaction between physician and patient (from pure sciences and clinical sciences to social sciences). This paper uses a de-centered comparative method to examine how different theoretical approaches shape the understanding of doctor-patient interaction and health regulation implications. In particular, the article looks at two theoretical models: health economics and medical socio-anthropology. The findings show that the difference between the two approaches is based upon the background of each discipline. Nevertheless, there are some similarities. The paper concludes that no theoretical approach is totally privileged to understand the interaction.

Published: November 2016

Crimezone is the application of citizen journalism developed to report crimes in Bandung which is available on windows phone platform. In its use, this app still has some problems in the backend system. One that often occurs is failure in sending image stream data with a large size, the provided web service is slow in delivering the requested data, and the backend system is highly vulnerable of web attacks. The purpose of this research is to improve the performance of Crimezone’s backend system. This is achieved by migrating from the current programming language to the new one. The selection of the Scala programming language will improve the performance of the backend system, facilitate use of asynchronous programming, concurrency, and parallelism and improve the security on the system.
The role of investment arbitration in water services governance
Authors: Simões Fernando Dias
Published: November 2016

The flux of foreign investment into the water industry that took place over recent decades had a significant impact on the relationship between water companies and states. The creation of a global network of international investment agreements also altered the method of adjudication of possible disputes between the parties. The emergence of global water markets and the advent of Public–Private Partnerships led to the emergence of what has been called Global Water Governance. This articles analyses how the decisions of arbitral tribunals in water-related disputes are becoming an integral part of this global regulatory system and discusses their impact on water services governance. Governments are increasingly required to have a thorough knowledge of the functioning and possible implications of the legal frameworks that underpin foreign investments in the water services market.
