L’IDENTITÉ MULTICULTURELLE DE LA CONSTITUTION BRÉSILIENNE: UNE LECTURE DE LA CONSTITUTION EN FAVEUR DES MINORITÉS CULTURELLES
Authors: Dutra Deo Campos
Published: July 2018

Notre problématique principale est centrée sur le défi de répondre à la question de savoir comment pouvons-nous mieux accommoder les minorités culturelles, en protégeant leur droit fondamental à la culture au sein des États démocratiques libéraux. Notre effort est d’élaborer une raison juridique qui est fondée sur les droits de l’homme et guidée par une philosophie politique normative. Cette raison juridique, pour sa part, a un objectif principal: elle essaie de construire des propositions substantielles pour que les minorités culturelles puissent être inclues et « accommodées » dans leurs sociétés. Il est donc nécessaire de construire une trajectoire pour l’inclusion de nos minorités culurelles. Nous croyons que cette trajectoire passe par la solidification de l’identité constitutionnelle brésilienne: les droits fondamentaux.

Body composition skeletal muscle analysis in cancer cachexia studies: Is there a place for 3T MRI analysis?
Authors: Rogers Elaine S , Ormiston William , Heron Rachel , Pontré Beau , MacLeod Roderick , Doyle Anthony
Published: July 2018

Aims

Cancer cachexia is a condition often seen in end stage Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients. Recent developments include the use of pharmaceutical agents and/or exercise to induce stability/hypertrophy of muscle volume. This requires accurate assessment of the change in both quantity and quality of the muscle during cancer cachexia clinical studies. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is appropriately placed to address both of these factors. The present study aimed to investigate total quadriceps muscle volume change by 3T MRI within a cancer cachexia clinical study.

Methods and results

Auckland's Cancer Cachexia evaluating Resistance Training (ACCeRT) study is a randomised controlled feasibility study investigating eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and cyclo‐oxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) inhibitor (celecoxib) (Arm A) versus EPA, COX‐2 inhibitor (celecoxib), Progressive Resistance Training (PRT) plus essential amino acids (EAAs) high in leucine (Arm B) in NSCLC cachectic patients. All participants underwent 3T MRI scanning at baseline and at last or end of trial (EOT) visit. Analysis showed a mean total quadriceps muscle volume percentage change from baseline to EOT of +12.5% (Arm A), compared with −3% (Arm B). There was a difference in muscle volume between genders. Arm B participant data showed a percentage change of +4.2% within females (n=2) compared with −10.2% (n=2) within males at EOT visit. All EOT results suggests the use of EPA and celecoxib +/‐ PRT and EAAs could potentially preserve muscle volume loss during refractory cachexia.

Conclusions

ACCeRT is the first study to utilise 3T MRI total quadriceps muscle volume within a cancer cachexia study, along with the first in an end‐stage/refractory cachexia population. These results can be used for baseline/reference for future cancer cachexia studies targeting the anabolic muscle pathways in end‐stage/refractory cachexia patients.

Published: July 2018

This research evaluates the farmers’ vulnerability to climate change in Niger State. Strategies for reducing the effect of climate change have regularly been made without experimental foundations and adequate information on farmers’ vulnerability to climate change in the study area. Thus, integrated farmers’ vulnerability assessment approach was employed by classifying socioeconomic and biophysical indicators of vulnerability into adaptive capacity, sensitivity and exposure to determine the farmers’ vulnerability to climate change. This is based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s definition of vulnerability. The study adopted a survey design and the method utilized for the study was questionnaire administered to 400 households in the study area. The results indicate that the farmers’ vulnerability was low in zone A with a mean index of 2.86, very low in zone B with a mean index of 3.74, and high in zone C with a mean index of 1.95 (the higher the value of the index the lower the vulnerability of farmers). It is recommended that measures should be taken to integrate climate change adaptation into Niger State development process. These measures should include improvement in adoption of good agricultural practices (GAP).

The effect crude oil pollution and amendment treatments using decomposed green manure (Calopogonium muconoidesDesvaux andAspilia africana(Person) C.D.Adams) on the growth and neutraceutical (minerals, proximate and vitamins A and C) ofCucurbita maximawere studied. Crude oil polluted soils were obtained by mixing thoroughly 10 kg of sandy-loam soil with 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ml of crude oil, 0 ml served as control. The amendment treatment with green manure ofC. muconoidesandA. africanawas carried out by adding the different levels of crude oil polluted soils (10 – 50 ml) with 4 kg of the compost manure. The experimental work was carried out in the green house using plastic buckets. Measurement of selected growth parameters such as percentage germination, vine length, leaf area, internode length, leaf number and petiole length was carried out after nine (9) weeks. The results indicated that crude oil pollution significantly (p=0.05) reduced the growth parameters ofC. maxima. Mineral content, proximate composition and vitamin A and C contents ofC. maximaalso showed pronounced reduction with increase in crude oil concentration. The addition of amendment treatment with green manure ofC. muconoidesandA. africanato ameliorate the impeding condition in the crude oil polluted soil significantly (p=0.05) improved the growth parameters and neutraceutical composition ofC. maximawhen compared to the pollution treatment. This study revealed that crude oil pollution negatively affected the growth and neutraceutical composition and generally the productivity ofC. maxima. From this study, it is evident thatC. muconoidesandA. africanaenhanced the growth and quality ofC. maxima.Therefore,C. muconoidesandA. africanashould be used for effective and efficient bioremediation practices.

So in our study, we have assessed the late presenting cases of burns, their epidemiological data, bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity patterns of burn wounds.Methods: This is a prospective study conducted in Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and associated hospital, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh from December 2015 to November 2017,where all the delayed presenting (>5 days) cases of burn involving 20% to 60% body surface area having no other comorbidity and age ranging from 5 years to 60 years were included and evaluated.Results: In our study, total 104 patients were included. Total 281 swabs were found to be culture positive, out of which 243 were monobacterial dominant. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found in 29.22% cases, E.coli in 23% cases, Klebsiella pneumoniae in 20.16%, Citrobacter in 9.88% cases, MRSA in 04.53%, MSSA in 5.35% cases. P.aeruginosa was mainly sensitive to piperacillin + tazobactum in 74.64%. Escherichia colli was sensitive to piperacillin + tazobactum in 75% cases, to collistin in 73.21% cases.Conclusions: Burn injuries are very common specially in developing countries where dependence over the traditional way of cooking is more. Use of antibiotic as per bacterial culture and sensitivity report, early surgical intervention and proper burn wound care at tertiary care centre reduce the morbidity and mortality of burn patients.
Towards a progressive interpretation of Ummah
Authors: Bachtiar Hasnan
Published: July 2018

contemporary literatures that had been produced by Muslim and non-Muslim scholars and intellectuals, ranging from Muslim and Western countries. With the progressive perspective of multiple modernities and intercivilisational approach, this paper argues that the concept of Ummah should be interpreted as a modern concept of inclusive cosmopolitan-humanitarian solidarity that emphasise values of liberalism, pluralism, democracy, human rights and sustainable development. This concept has been also strengthened by a sociological representation of the tradition of Islam Nusantara. Its relative historical continuity in the process of the development of the micro sociological dimension of tradition, it explains that this concept of Ummah is not rootless. Consequently, it can be understood that its applicability is relatively possible . Paper ini ingin mengelaborasi wacana pembangunan konsep Ummah yang digali dari pelbagai literatur kontemporer, baik yang berasal dari para sarjana dan intelektual Muslim maupun non-Muslim, baik itu yang berasal dari negara-negara Muslim maupun Barat. Melalui perspektif multiple modernities dan pendekatan lintas-peradaban, paper ini berargumentasi bahwa konsepUmmah sangat perlu kiranya ditafsirkan dan dipahami sebagai konsep modernmengenai solidaritas kemanusiaan yang inklusif dan kosmopolitan. Konsep inimenekankan pentingnya nilai-nilai seperti liberalisme, pluralisme, demokrasi,hak asasi manusia dan pembangunan yang berkelanjutan. Adanya tawaranmengenai konsep ini, didukung oleh representasi sosiologis dari praktik IslamNusantara. Praktik Islam Nusantara tersebut, menunjukkan adanya kontinuitashistoris dalam proses pembangunan tradisi, yang berlaku di dalam dimensisosiologis yang bersifat mikro. Hal ini tentu saja juga menunjukkan bahwakonsep Ummah ini bukanlah hal yang tak berakar dalam realitas kehidupanMuslim. Dengan demikian dapat dimengerti bahwa, penerapan konsep Ummahini sangatlah memungkinkan.

Published: July 2018

One of the obligated English materials studied by all students of Indonesian universities is speaking English because English is one of the international languages used to communicate in the world. Moreover, many work fields offered from abroad to Indonesian scholars obligate them to speak English well. Having capability to speak English well is not an easy task. There are some factors influencing the ability of speaking. One of the factors is creativity. Therefore, this research is concerned on investigating the influence of students’ creativity to create sentences toward their speaking skill. This article only discusses one of the three objectives of this quasi experimental research. It is whether or not the students having high creativity have high speaking skill. The data of this research consisted of the scores of creativity test and speaking test. The data of speaking scores were categorized into two, scores of the students having high and low creativity. After those data were normal and homogeneous, then, analyzed using F-test ANOVA. The difference between rows is significant because Fo between rows (1125.64) is higher than Ft (4.11) at the level of significance α= 0.05. The mean score of B1 (78.9) is higher than that of B2 (60.85), it can be said that the speaking skill of students having high creativity is higher than those having low creativity. Thus, it can be concluded that students’ creativity influences their speaking skill.Keywords: Influence; Students’ Creativity; Speaking Skill

Las discusiones sobre lo público se han suscitado en el debate académico desde las primeras conceptualizaciones realizadas entre fines de la década del ‘50 y principios de los ‘60 del siglo XX por Hannah Arendt y Jürgen Haber­mas en sus ya clásicos La condición humana e Historia y crítica de la opinión pública, respectivamente. Los cuestionamientos, atenuaciones y respuestas a estos planteos no tardaron en aparecer, incluso, contemporáneamente a la publicación de las obras mencionadas. A aquel conjunto de planteos —que varios autores de este volumen recuperan y problematizan— se suman hoy los diferentes argumentos que se han precipitado en relación con los recientes cambios acaecidos en la configuración de la esfera pública, sobre todo aquellos vinculados con el desarrollo del proceso histórico de mediatización.

ANÁLISE DE VIABILIDADE DE IRRIGAÇÃO NA PECUÁRIA LEITEIRA: ALTERNATIVAS PARA A AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR NA AMAZÔNIA
Authors: Silva Alexandre Recanati de Oliveira , Rodrigues Marcos , Silva David Costa Correia
Published: July 2018

A atividade leiteira na Amazônia possui grande potencial para expansão devido a existência de vastas áreas de pastagem e o contingente de rebanho bovino. Para beneficiar a agricultura familiar, requer-se o aperfeiçoamento técnico da atividade para a geração de resultados financeiros satisfatórios. O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar a viabilidade econômica do investimento em irrigação em pecuária leiteira na agricultura familiar do sudeste da Amazônia. Foram coletados dados de investimento e custos com produtores rurais familiares beneficiados com a instalação de sistemas de irrigação no município de Parauapebas. Utilizando metodologias de análise financeira (VPL, TIR, IL) foi possível verificar os diferentes retornos financeiros caso o projeto fosse inteiramente à custo do produtor rural. Os resultados demonstraram que o projeto é viável quando o trabalho na propriedade é totalmente familiar, reduzindo custos de produção. A existência de mecanismos de financiamento, como o Pronaf, permite que o projeto se torne ainda mais viável para ser implantado em pequenas propriedades, entretanto requer-se o aperfeiçoamento de tais políticas de crédito.

Bütün ülkelerde en önemli besin kaynağı
olma özelliği taşıyan tahıl ürünleri insanlar için bu denli önemli olmasına
rağmen buğday, arpa ve çavdar gibi tahıllarda bulunan amino asiti genetik
yatkınlığı olan bireylerde kronik ince bağırsak hastalığına neden olabilmektedir.
Gluten içeren besinlerin tüketilmesiyle birlikte ince bağırsağın doğal
yapısının bozulmasına neden olan bu hastalık ‘çölyak’ olarak tanımlanmaktadır.
Tek tedavi yöntemi, ömür boyu uygulanması gereken glutensiz diyet olan çölyak hastalığında diyet uygulamanın zorluğu
yanında sosyal ve biyolojik ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması açısından da sorunlar
yaşanmaktadır. Ülkemizde, çölyaklı öğrencilerin eğitimleri sürecinde okullarda
sosyo-biyolojik ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasıyla ilgili araştırmalar oldukça
sınırlıdır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada, glutensiz diyet uygulamak durumunda olan
ilkokul çağındaki çocukların karşılaştıkları sosyo-biyolojik problemlerin ortaya
çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. İlkokula devam eden çölyaklı bir çocuğun okul
ortamında sosyal ve biyolojik ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasında yaşadığı
problemlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla ‘vaka incelemesi yöntemi’ kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada
öğrenci, ebeveyn ve öğretmen ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmış, elde
edilen verilerin analizinde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma
bulgularına göre öğrencinin okulda diyete uygun yiyecek bulmada, düzenlenen
sosyal etkinliklere katılmada problem yaşadığı, hastalığını arkadaşlarıyla
paylaşmaktan çekindiği, okul idareci ve öğretmenlerinin farkındalık
düzeylerinin artırılarak öğrencilerin yaşamını kolaylaştırıcı tedbirler

Securing Communication in the IoT-based Health Care Systems
Authors: Anggorojati Bayu , Prasad Ramjee
Published: July 2018

Rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) and its whole ecosystems are opening a lot of opportunities that can improve humans’ quality of life in many aspects. One of the promising area where IoT can enhance our life is in the health care sector. However, security and privacy becomes the main concern in the electronic Health (eHealth) systems and it becomes more challenging with the integration of IoT. Furthermore, most of the IoT-based health care system architecture is designed to be cross-organizational due to many different stakeholders in its overall ecosystems – thus increasing the security complexity. There are several aspects of security in the IoT-based health care system, among them are key management, authentication and encryption/decryption to ensure secure communication and access to health sensing information. This paper introduces a key management method that includes mutual authentication and secret key agreement to establish secure communication between any IoT health device with any entity from different organization or domain through Identity-Based Cryptography (IBC).

Decision process of Bidikmisi acceptance is not easy to do, since there are sufficient big data of prospective applicants and variables of varied criteria. Based on these problems, a new approach is proposed to determine Bidikmisi grantees by using the Bayesian Bernoulli mixture regression model. The modeling procedure is performed by compiling the accepted and unaccepted cluster of applicants which are estimated for each cluster by the Bernoulli mixture regression model. The model parameter estimation process is done by building an algorithm based on Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. The accuracy of acceptance process through Bayesian Bernoulli mixture regression model is measured by determining acceptance classification percentage of model which is compared with acceptance classification percentage of  the dummy regression model and the polytomous regression model. The comparative results show that Bayesian Bernoulli mixture regression model approach gives higher percentage of acceptance classification accuracy than dummy regression model and polytomous regression model

The development of information and communication technology that support digital data transmission such as text, image, audio and video gives several effects. One of them is data security that becomes the main priority during the transmission process. Pixel-Value-Ordering (PVO) which one of data hiding methods can be implemented to achieve the requirement. It embeds data on maximum pixel and minimum pixel in a blok which is a part of the carrier image. However, PVO has capacity a problem, that only 2 bits per block can be hidden. To handle this problem, we propose a new approach by dividing blocks dinamically based on its complexity. These blocks are grouped into 4: smooth block, semi-smooth block, normal block and rough block. Using this approach, the stego capacity can be improved up to 2.6 times in average of  previous method by keeping the quality stego more than 65 dB for all testing image.

Access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) services for involuntarily displaced populations is an important component of Sustainable Development Goal 6: achieving universal and equitable access to basic WaSH services by 2030. To date, households have been the main priority in the WaSH sector, and other settings have received less attention. Ensuring that involuntarily displaced persons have adequate WaSH and environmental health services is of critical importance for human rights and development outcomes. The Water Institute at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill and World Vision organized a side event at the 2017 UNC Water and Health conference to discuss obstacles and opportunities related to improving environmental conditions in orphanages, prisons, and refugee and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlements. Participants discussed the characteristics of each setting in breakout discussion groups, and then came together to discuss the similarities and differences between the three settings. Our goal was to allow common themes and lessons to emerge and to develop recommendations and shape future research. This side event provided an opportunity for participants from different professional backgrounds to share their experiences working with involuntarily displaced populations and discuss ways forward.

The biosorption of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution has been studied using both the intact and thermolyzed cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Further, the role of the major cell wall components, namely DNA, protein, polysaccharide, and lipid, in Pb(II) binding has been assessed using an enzymatic treatment method. The Pb(II) bioremediation capability of P. aeruginosa cells has been investigated by varying the parameters of pH, time of interaction, amount of biomass, and concentration of Pb(II). The complete bioremoval of Pb(II) using intact cells has been achieved for an initial Pb(II) concentration of 12.4 mg L−1 at pH 6.2 and temperature 29 ± 1 °C. The biosorption isotherm follows Langmuirian behavior with a Gibbs free energy of −30.7 kJ mol−1, indicative of chemisorption. The biosorption kinetics is consistent with a pseudo-second-order model. The possible Pb(II) binding mechanisms of P. aeruginosa cells are discussed based on characterization using zeta potential measurements, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results confirm that among the major cell wall components studied, polysaccharide shows the highest contribution towards Pb(II) binding, followed by DNA, lipid, and protein. Similar studies using thermolyzed cells show higher Pb(II) uptake compared to the intact cells both before and after enzymatic treatment.
Fabrication of Zr-doped TiO2/chitosan composite catalysts with enhanced visible-light-mediated photoactivity for the degradation of Orange II dye
Authors: Demircivi Pelin , Simsek Esra Bilgin
Published: July 2018

Zirconium/titanium/chitosan (Zr/Ti/CHT) composite catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method using different chitosan amounts (5–20 wt.%) and their activity in the photocatalytic degradation of Orange II dye was evaluated for the first time. The results were compared with Zr/Ti, Zr/CHT and Ti/CHT catalysts. The composite catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. XRD analysis revealed that the Zr/Ti/CHT composite catalyst showed high crystallinity of anatase TiO2 phase. Photocatalytic experiments showed that adding CHT into the catalyst structure increased the photocatalytic degradation under visible light irradiation. Also, the first-order reaction rate constant, kapp, was calculated using the Langmuir–Hinshelwood (L-H) equation. The kapp values were found to be 0.009, 0.0013, 0.012 and 0.014 min−1 for Zr/Ti, Zr/CHT, Ti/CHT and Zr/Ti/CHT, respectively. According to stability tests, after the first cycle Orange II dye degradation was found to be 95%, while it was 37% after the fifth cycle. The results showed that the composite catalyst could be used several times for Orange II dye degradation.

In Russia at present a transformation of all spheres of society takes place. In this connection the phenomenon of career became an object of studying in many researches. Increased interest to an estimation of person’s career success makes necessary reference to idea of personality about planned and desirable characteristics of results, ways and the subject of professional and career development (Golovaha E.I., 1988; Dzhaneryan S.T., 1998; Moll E.G., 1998; Ryabikina Z. I., 1997; Sheveleva A.M., 2000). Thus, idea about own career is the form of management of professional future (Efremov E.G., 2000; Kirt N.L., 2000; Lotova I.P., 2004, 1998, etc.), at the same time idea about the future planned professional and career way, including an image of a career way, an image of career (Golovaha E.I., 1988; Moll E.G., 1998; Sheveleva А.М, 2000) is studied comparatively not enough. The category of image is one of the central psychological categories. It embraces all forms of mental reflection, from isolated perception to general perception.

In the article results of experimental research of social mobility of subjects having different types of vital resources are revealed. It was examined containing and structural features of personal vital resource as a complex psychological construct integrating differ- ent on a level of complexity phenomena, allowing to reach vital success and to overcome difficulties and extremenesses. It is given a substantiation of experimental methods and techniques which have allowed to distinguish three types of personal dominants of vital resources of personality vital resources with dominants of intellectual, cognitive and emotional component; vital resources with dominants of value and semantic component; vital resources with dominants of social and psychological component. Among the subjects belonging to different groups according to dominants of vital resources, vital facts testifying a level of their social mobility were established. Dominants of these groups of vital resources have been put in a basis of intersubject differentiation reflecting a typological peculiarity of person. Comparative features of examinees’ social mobility are revealed. It is established, that domination of internal vital resources with prevalence of a value and semantic component is combined with low enough social mobility of respondents.
Evaluation of a mobile phone-based intervention with photographs to improve healthy food choices (Preprint)
Authors: Sánchez Aitor , López García de la Serrana Herminia
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

Mobile phone-based interventions have demonstrated positive effects on body compositionand food habits. They are cheap, easy to implement and could play an important role in fighting health problems.
However, their potential as tools for monitoring or dietary treatment has yet to be examined. As far as we know, no specific application has been designed to keep health specialists and patients in touch, providing fluid communication between them to record, monitor and evaluate dietary behaviour via photographs.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the experiences of users of a mobile-phone app designed to provide monitoring and deliver feedback with healthy choices.

To identify factors facilitating usage of a phone-based intervention with photographs.

METHODS

We carried out an experiment via an instant message application over 5 working days.
20 young adult Spanish volunteers were enrolled to upload and send all their food choices to a dietitian via a mobile instant messaging application. They were asked to send information on all intakes other than water to their dietitian during the trial.
The dietitian responded with a numerical evaluation of how healthy the volunteers’ choice was on a scale of 0 to 5, including an attached photo as a healthier alternative.
We provided participants with an online survey using a Likert scale in order to collect information on their experience during the trial

RESULTS

A total of 368 intakes were evaluated and 368 different intakes were suggested as alternatives
The most noteworthy questions mentioned by the participants are the motivational aspect of the experience, or the usefulness of alternative suggestions for meals. Other advantages for the participants were the awareness of what they eat and being able to control their food better.
82,4% of the sample state they were influenced to eat more healthy food. 95% were “motivated to eat better during the experiment”. Furthermore, 58,8% acknowledged their diet was better during the trial than their normal routine.

CONCLUSIONS

The participants stated that the experiment made them change their routines, eat a more healthy diet and feel motivated. Unfortunately, we did not collect pre-intervention or long-term dietary records.

An application using food choice photographs could be a valuable tool to motivate people to enhance their food habits with the direct assistance of dietitian.

O artigo procura identificar o papel de Tobias Barreto no desenvolvimento de uma filosofia jurídica originalmente brasileira, em meados do século XIX. Barreto, como mostram os estudos que serviram de base para o presente estudo, pode ser apontado como um dos maiores responsáveis pelo despertar filosófico de uma sociedade periférica, ainda muito ligada às ideias dos antigos tempos imperial e colonial.
