Authors: Al Ghadhban Mohammed Reda , Alkumasi Hussein Ali , Meziad Mohammed Saleem
Published: April 2018

Background: There is no doubt that laparoscopic cholecystectomy replaced open cholecystectomy as standard procedure for the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis. Conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystectomy is still required in many circumstance, this study aimed at exploring causes and incidence of conversion.  Methods: This is a prospective study of 200 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases were performed in ALKARAMA Teaching Hospital from January2009 to January 2011. All cases were followed at the time of surgery by obtaining data sheet for the patient’s age, sex, time from the introduction of ports till decision of conversion and the cause of conversion if present.Results: Out of 200 laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 12 cases were converted into open cholecystectomy (6%). The major causes were : dense adhesions (4),  bleeding (2), anatomical difficulties (2), impacted stone in Hartmann pauch (2), dilated cystic duct (1) and sever inflammation (1). Two of the conversions are males from 45 male patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 10 cases are females from 155 female patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy so the percentage of conversion for male patients is 4.44 % while for female patients is 6.45%.Conclusions: The conversion rate in this study is 6% and the most common cause for conversion is dense adhesions in the Calot’s triangle, no biliary duct injury that need conversion is found in this study and the rate for conversion is higher in female patients.

Authors: G. Krishnaleela , Meena M. Selva , A. Praveena Daya
Published: April 2018

Background: India has 236 species of snakes of which 13 species are poisonous. Most of the Indian population are in rural area and they are poorly informed about the snake bite. They waste their vital time by reporting to traditional healers and taking inappropriate first aid. So the present study is done to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice on snake bite among the rural population of Tirunelveli district.Methods: A cross–sectional study was done in rural area of Tirunelveli district. 200 adults were included in our study. Data on knowledge, attitude and practice were collected by the trained personnel using a predesigned structured questionnaire for the period of three months from June 2017 to August 2017.Results: 60.5% of the study population can’t identify the snake. 54% of them had knowledge on availability of ASV.62% of study subjects had no knowledge on complications of snake bite. It was also found that most of them had practice of tying tourniquet above the site of bite, sucking blood from the site, washing with soap and water. 62.5% preferred hospital treatment for snake bite only 12% preferred traditional practices and 59.5% believed that ASV is effective.Conclusions: Knowledge on identification of snake and on ASV is low and still some people follow harmful practices like taking to traditional healers and applying native medicine so steps must be taken to improve their knowledge and to prevent harmful practices.
Regímenes de poder y tecnologías de la imagen, Foucault y los estudios visuales
Authors: León Christian
Published: April 2018

Este ensayo analiza los legados del pensamiento de Michel Foucault para el estudio de las prácticas visuales, la mirada y las tecnologías de la imagen. A partir de la recepción de Foucault en el campo de los estudios visuales, me interesa reflexionar sobre cómo la imagen y la mirada se inscriben dentro de una red de relaciones, saberes, tecnologías, normativas e instituciones que develan formas de operación del poder y de construcción de los sujetos. Para empezar, pongo en diálogo conceptos como «cultura visual», «visualidad» y «regímenes escópicos» con la perspectiva arqueológica y genealógica propuesta por el francés.

Investigación para el diseño apoyada en cultura material
Authors: Mogrovejo Cristian Paúl , Klein Christine
Published: April 2018

Este trabajo plantea el uso de teorías de cultura material en la investigación para el diseño como herramienta conceptual para entender cómo los objetos se convierten en repositorios de información cultural y adquieren significado dentro de las dinámicas sociales. Buscamos que la investigación para el diseño sea flexible y se nutra de distintas fuentes, teorías, prácticas y formas de entender la investigación que no procedan únicamente de las teorías del diseño. Presentamos un estudio de caso acerca de las guaguas de pan en el Ecuador. Empezaremos con una revisión de teorías de diseño que serán utilizadas para un análisis morfológico, y continuaremos con una reflexión desde la cultura material. La meta final de este artículo es ilustrar, con un ejemplo concreto, las bases de un ejercicio de investigación que puede usarse para cualquier producto creativo.
Contra el tiempo. Lo documental como indagación
Authors: Salazar Armando
Published: April 2018

Contra el tiempo es el título de este ensayo fotográfico y de la serie que saldrá al final del proceso. Se me ocurrió un día y para mí es una idea que resume lo que es la práctica deportiva: una lucha contra el paso del tiempo y las huellas que deja en el cuerpo. Es también una idea que resume mi práctica fotográfica, no solo porque lucho contra el tiempo en la captura de la imagen, sino porque siento que estoy en un momento creativo y vital en donde las cosas deben acelerarse un poco más; por ahora mis reflejos están, mi lucidez está y mi cuerpo está.
Arte, investigación y prácticas colectivas: la creación de Nuestra Patrona de la Cantera
Authors: Falconí Fernando
Published: April 2018

El proyecto Nuestra Patrona de la Cantera se realizó en Quito con un grupo de trabajadoras sexuales, un sector minoritario y vulnerable, tradicionalmente marginado, no solo por su estatus social y su actividad laboral, sino también por prejuicios biopolíticos y socioculturales asociados con sexualidad, moralidad, religiosidad y legalidad. Fue una propuesta que presenté el 2008, en el VI Encuentro Internacional de Arte Urbano «al Zur-ich». Consistió en crear la representación de una Virgen de las trabajadoras sexuales. Surgió de la idea de poner en diálogo dos condiciones y temas opuestos: la virginidad y el trabajo sexual, y pensar en la posibilidad de producir una imagen que contuviera los dos componentes más allá de la paradoja.
Gesto a tiempo de mambo
Authors: Rodríguez Juana María , Castellanos Santiago
Published: April 2018

Escribir sobre el gesto es lidiar con aquello que excede el lenguaje a través del lenguaje, es extender los brazos para tocar figuras en movimiento que ya no están allí, es capturar con marcas estáticas en blanco y negro el olor de un cuerpo que no ha dejado rastro. Escribir sobre el gesto requiere, tomando prestada la ¡cónica frase de Peggy Phelan, "una representación sin reproducción" (1993: 146). En lugar de enfatizar la inscripción, Phelan nos señala "la posibilidad de que se puede hacer algo sustancial con el perfil que ha dejado el cuerpo después de que desaparece." La corazonada de Phelan es que "el perfil afectivo de lo que hemos perdido puede acercarnos más a los cuerpos que todavía queremos tocar" (1997: 3). El impulso de este proyecto académico se encuentra en este deseo de tocar, un deseo de tener cerca cuerpos y espíritus frágiles, de percibir aquellas regiones dentro de nosotros mismos donde vive el conocimiento sentido. Antes que un trabajo etnográfico o lingüístico que intenta codificar y luego decodificar una serie de actos performativos mediante la observación y el análisis, este ensayo sigue a Phelan para capturar el residuo efímero de los gestos en el lenguaje mediante el lente subjetivo y defectuoso de la memoria y de la añoranza.
Non Recognizable Pattern

Published: April 2018

Facial recognition systems are increasingly embedded into everyday artifacts. This article examines how they operate based on preset patterns and algorithms, as well as their utility for corporate and state interests. Furthermore, this work sustains the critical argument of "No recognizable pattern", a photo series that envisages alternative digital identities, through 'cyborg imagery', in order to generate untraceable biometric templates to outwit surveillance methods that expand in the current technological environment.
Archivos que (in)forman exposiciones: Notas sobre el antes, durante y después de la investigación historiográfica del arte
Authors: Guerrero Marcela Cristina
Published: April 2018

En las últimas tres décadas y media, ha crecido el interés por escuchar los silencios de los archivos oficiales. En el área que me concierne como investigadora y curadora del arte latinoamericano, caribeño y latino de los Estados Unidos, he tenido la oportunidad de trabajar y estudiar proyectos que buscan trazar la memoria de ciertos momentos en la historia del arte que no han sido lo suficientemente estudiados, diseminados o puestos al uso de la práctica del arte y la curaduría. Aquello que constituye memoria, dicho sea de paso, no es necesariamente la historia escrita, sino que en muchos casos lo que se intenta rescatar incluye desde fotografías, correspondencias, cavilaciones, entre otros.
Sobre colisiones, deslizamientos y sentirse perdida
Authors: Taylor Jacqueline
Published: April 2018

Tomando la forma de los retablos inspirados en el folk-art, la obra de la artista estadounidense Clare Rojas atraviesa diferentes medios para desafiar los roles tradicionales de género en la sociedad. Su exposición We They, We They, realizada en la galería Ikon, en Birmingham, Reino Unido, resonó con mi propio trabajo como artista-investigadora –no necesariamente por los temas o cualidades estéticas de la obra–, sino porque parecía funcionar como una forma de significación u «otro» lenguaje que escapaba de lo estrictamente comunicativo o representativo. Se alineaba con lo que he llamado una comprensión ‘poética’ de la pintura, en la cual era posible hacer significados (o entender el trabajo de ser significativo) a través del desconocimiento, el afecto y el encuentro en un nivel más corpóreo. Provocada por esta investigación, el texto a continuación surgió en un contexto más amplio de conversaciones sobre la escritura y el arte, y los diferentes niveles que esta interrelación puede jugar en la práctica artística contemporánea –entre palabra e imagen, texto y textura, carta y línea.

La proveniencia digital y la obra de arte como derivado
Authors: Wark McKenzie
Published: April 2018

El arte tiene que ver con la rareza, con cosas que son únicas, especiales y que no pueden ser duplicadas. Pero las tecnologías de nuestro tiempo tienen que ver con duplicación, copias y con información que no es necesariamente especial. En principio, parecería que la forma tradicional de arte es obsoleta: Si tiene valor es solo como algo de un tiempo pasado, algo perteneciente a un estilo de vida antes de que la tecnología se hiciera cargo. Pero en realidad, lo que sucede es más extraño que eso. Revisemos algunas de las formas en que el arte como rareza ahora interactúa de maneras novedosas con la abundancia de información, produciendo oportunidades curiosas y llamativas para crear valor.

Este texto busca contextualizar el trabajo de la compañía Talvez Danza Contemporánea, fundada en el Colegio de Comunicación y Artes Contemporáneas de la Universidad San Francisco de Quito en el año 2008. El ensayo se divide en tres partes, la primera dialoga con pensadores de la contemporaneidad como Derrida y Baumann, para demostrar la necesidad de romper con estructuras estáticas en el arte y desarrollar propuestas más móviles, abiertas e inestables. La segunda entrada hace una referencia histórica de la construcción del teatro clásico y la división actor-espectador que esa construcción produjo, y posibilidades de conexión y aprendizaje con el público que se generaron cuando provocamos una ruptura con las formas clásicas. Por último, la tercera entrada del texto desglosa el método de trabajo propuesto por Talvez.
In Search of the Resilient Sahelian: Reflections on a Fashionable Notion
Authors: Lallau Benoît
Published: April 2018

This paper examines the figure of the “resilient Sahelian” identified or sought by numerous aid actors and funding bodies in West Africa. Does this notion of resilience contribute to something genuinely new, and if so, how? What methodological challenges does it raise? Can it be operationalized? And, above all, which policies does it require us to implement? These questions need to be addressed head‐on if the “resilient Sahelian” is to be more than a poetic metaphor.

Perlaboração de mecanismos defensivos em relação ao trabalho em empreendimentos de Economia Solidária
Authors: Pires Sanyo Drummond
Published: April 2018

Este artigo pretende contribuir para uma fundamentação teórica, a partir da experiência em Incubadoras de Empreendimentos de Economia Solidária, sobre a manutenção, dentro do processo de incubação, de mecanismos defensivos frente ao trabalho adaptados às experiências anteriores dos trabalhadores em empreendimentos de lógica capitalista heterogestionária. É analisado teoricamente como a manutenção desses mecanismos defensivos pode ocorrer a partir da noção de compulsão à repetição e perlaboração pensada a partir da psicanálise, da teoria crítica e da psicodinâmica do trabalho, bem como das ações voltadas para a superação desses mecanismos defensivos inadequados para o contexto atual do trabalhador da economia solidária.

Published: April 2018

As propriedades físicas de aerossóis atmosféricos, entre elas a sua profundidade ótica (AOD), possuem importância para os processos de interação entre a superfície e a atmosfera. A atmosfera da Amazônia brasileira sofre mudanças significativas em termos das propriedades físicas de aerossóis devido a grandes quantidades de partículas emitidas pela queima de biomassa, porém, carece de estudos que avaliem sua variabilidade espacial e temporal. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho objetivou analisar e quantificar a AOD na faixa de 550 nm (AOD 550 nm), a partir dos produtos de sensoriamento remoto, MOD04_L2 e MOD08_D3, para aerossóis do sensor MODIS, para o período de 2010 a 2014, sobre as regiões de Manaus, Santarém, Porto Velho, Rio Branco, Ji Paraná e Cuiabá. Foi constatado que, em todas as regiões analisadas, a AOD 550 nm apresentou variação sazonal com os máximos atingidos na estação seca. A variabilidade espaço-temporal evidenciou que as regiões de Manaus e Santarém são menos impactadas pelo aumento da AOD 550 nm que as demais regiões. Em Manaus, as médias para todo o período de estudo foram de 0.24 ± 0.26 e 0.20 ± 0.16 para as estações seca e chuvosa respectivamente, enquanto que para Ji Paraná as médias de todo o período de estudo foram de 0.34 ± 0.43 e 0.14 ± 0.08, chegando a atingir uma média de 0.75 ± 0.69 para a estação seca de 2010. Foi constatado que a variabilidade espacial e temporal estão diretamente relacionadas em todas as regiões.
Calendar tables in manuscript and printed
Arbaʿah Ṭurim: Ṭur Oraḥ Ḥayyim
, chapter 428
Authors: Vidro Nadia
Published: April 2018

This article is a case study in the creation, transmission and evolution of calendar tables in medieval and early modern Jewish sources. It looks at calendar tables in
Arbaʿah Ṭurim
by Jacob ben Asher (early fourteenth century), one of the most influential rabbinic codes of law. Calendar tables in printed editions of
Arbaʿah Ṭurim
(
Ṭur Oraḥ Ḥayyim
, chapter 428) deviate from the normative rabbinic calendar and can lead to celebrating religious holidays at the wrong times. The inclusion of non-standard tables in an authoritative code of law has long raised questions about their authenticity. This article examines the history of calendar tables in
Ṭur Oraḥ Ḥayyim
by investigating all extant manuscripts and fifteenth- to sixteenth-century printed editions of the code. The article highlights the unstable connection of calendar tables with authorial compositions and the lack of calendar expertise among copyists and users of calendar tables.

Published: April 2018

The relevance of physical education for sport to society is promoted by many states in order to achieve its social values, especially health, social inclusion, education and volunteering. For example, Liechtenstein regards sport as a cultural component in society, being perceived as being of public interest. The Czech Republic, Estonia and Hungary emphasize through reforms implemented in the field of education and sports, encouraging young people to watch and take part in sporting events and to be informed about sports regularly. The economic aspects of sport, especially the sustainable financing of sporting activities for all and the elaboration of policies based on concrete elements, can be considered as strategic objectives of the Republic of Moldova. In this context, the adoption of normative acts that will lead to the establishment of a framework of national guidelines on double careers will have the effect of regulating those concrete measures regarding the education, work, health and financial means of athletes. At the same time, ensuring the continuation of physical activity levels and national policies in this area, as well as continuously promoting the regular exchange of information and good practice on the role of physical activities to improve the health of the population, are also objectives that can be Implemented at national level in close synergy and cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO).

Authors: RUSANESCU Alina Gabriela , SORA Ana Maria , STOICESCU Marius
Published: April 2018

This century is characterized by rapid changes in society. In this light, education must help children by guiding the school to new forms of learning that give the students the opportunity to respond to unforeseen situations. Various ways to promote inclusive education are being explored nowadays, as an alternative for children with special educational needs (SEN). In this context, inclusive physical education is a methodological orientation aimed at organizing the learning process with mixed teams, which include pupils with and without deficiencies. A child-centered pedagogy is being promoted in this way, intended to reduce segregation and provide educational solutions regardless of the children’s level of abilities. Alternative pedagogies are one of the resources of conceptual and methodological development of inclusive physical education. These are present perspectives of approaching education by providing the teacher with variants of organizing the teaching-learning-assessment activity in accordance with the needs of students with SEN. This paper aims to highlight the specific way in which alternative pedagogies provide educational resources for the successful implementation of inclusive physical education programs. In this respect, a comparative analysis of educational alternatives is presented according to the organizational, curricular and didactic criteria that apply to the teaching process of physical education to classes in which children with SENs are integrated. At the same time, methodological suggestions are offered on optimizing the teaching of inclusive physical education.

The Divine Proportion’s Incidence in Facial and Dental Aesthetics
Authors: BUSU Oprea Valentin , ANDREI Elena Cristina
Published: April 2018

As a science, facial and dental aesthetics is highly complex, the dentist being compelled to effectively exploit his abilities of reconstructing affected tissues, but also cultivate his aesthetic sense. Nowadays, dentists frequently face the patients high expectations, regarding dental structure and facial reconstruction. Most young patients tend to choose their model from the media, while patients over the age of 50 desire to have teeth like those of youth. It should also be noted that there is no concept of „cosmetic dentistry” as the teeth can only be adjusted in corellation to the face and body appearance. Thus, between physiognomy and the general appearance of the body and of the teeth a state of interdependence is in existence. One of the major errors that leads to endangering the quality of dental treatment and to patient dissatisfaction is the way in which the doctor-patient relationship is managed. If a person opts for an aesthetic treatment it is clear that it is facing a low self-esteem, in this case the dentist needing to address the disorder on two coordinates: an objective interpretation involves the sequencing of reconstructing a morphological and functional dentition and and establishing the issues related to patients notion of „beautiful”. At the same time, aesthetic dental treatment is based on the personality of the individual, the age, sex and patient's systemic diseases. The notion of „divine proportion” makes possible to perform „perfect” dental works that integrate the facial and somatic features, whose basic characteristics are symmetry, balance, continuity.

The Influence of Hot Water and Calcium Chloride on The Changes in Color, Phenolics and Polyphenol Oxidase Activity of Mushroom During Postharvest Storage
Authors: Güvercin Damla , Karakurt Yaşar , Toka Döne
Published: April 2018

Mushrooms undergo significant
changes in quality after harvest due mainly to changes in color. This study was
performed to determine the effects of CaCl2 and hot water on the
changes in color, phenolics and polyphenoloxidase activities of mushrooms
during storage. Mushrooms were treated with various concentrations of CaCl2
and hot water at various degrees for different time periods and stored for 12
days at 10oC. Significant changes were observed in color components
during storage. Color change was associated with the increases in total soluble
phenolics, esspecially increases in chlorogenic acid and polyphenol oxidase
activity, suggesting that both phenolics and polyphenol oxidase contribute
significantly to the browning in mushrooms. Hot water and CaCl2
treatments significantly reduced color change possibly through reductions in

Introducción: Esta investigación examina la relación entre el uso de energía (UEN) y la formación bruta de capital (FBC) fijo con la tasa de crecimiento del producto interno bruto (PIB) en 73 países. Los países se agrupan con la clasificación del Banco Mundial sobre el ingreso: alto (30 países), medio alto (21 países) y medio bajo (22 países); se excluyen los países con nivel de ingreso bajo dado que no existen datos suficientes. La razón por la que se incluye la FBC es para ver cómo influye ésta en conjunción con el UEN en el crecimiento del PIB, ya que la FBC considera maquinaria y bienes de equipo que requieren energía.Métodos: Se realizan pruebas de raíz unitaria y de cointegración de datos de panel, así como estimaciones de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios totalmente modificados (FMOLS) y mínimos cuadrados ordinarios dinámicos (DOLS) de datos de panel.Resultados: Los hallazgos empíricos son que el crecimiento del PIB es explicado por el UEN y la FBC a corto y largo plazos, excepto para el grupo con ingreso medio-alto, en el que a corto plazo el UEN no es significativo, mientras que la FBC sí lo es. También, en todos los grupos, a largo plazo, la FBC es explicada por el crecimiento del PIB y el UEN. Se destaca que en todos los grupos, a corto plazo, no existe relación causal entre el UEN y la FBC. Sorprendentemente, las economías con ingreso alto y medio-bajo presentan resultados similares. Por último, con una reclasificación como productores y no de petróleo para los primeros, a corto plazo, el crecimiento económico tiene una relación unidireccional hacia el UEN y la FBC, mientras que a largo plazo no hay relación alguna. Por el contrario, para los países no productores de petróleo, a corto y largo plazos, el crecimiento del PIB tiene una relación bidireccional con la FBC; sin embargo, a corto plazo sólo el UEN es explicado por el crecimiento económico.Conclusiones: Las diversas relaciones, a corto y largo plazos, obtenidas entre el UEN, la FBC y el crecimiento económico que empíricamente se encontraron proporcionan elementos sustanciales para el diseño de la política energética en 73 países.
Cambio técnico y polarización en el mercado laboral. Evidencia para Colombia
Authors: Posso Christian Manuel , Medina Durango Carlos Alberto
Published: April 2018

Antecedentes: El modelo canónico del mercado de trabajo (Acemoglu, 2002), con dos grupos de mano de obra cualificada que realizan dos tareas distintas e imperfectamente sustituibles, ha demostrado ser incapaz de explicar algunas características del mercado de trabajo. Se evalúa si hay suficientes evidencias que respalden la hipótesis de que existe una polarización en el caso del mercado laboral colombiano.Métodos: Se utilizan descripciones de ocupaciones para construir intensidades de tareas relacionadas con el uso de la tecnología y se las pone en correspondencia con series de secciones representativas de encuestas aplicadas en los hogares para evaluar hasta qué grado la reasignación de trabajadores por medio de ocupaciones que requieren diferentes intensidades de tareas es consistente con la hipótesis de la polarización.Resultados: Se encontró un incremento del empleo en los extremos de la distribución de los salarios y/o las ocupaciones cualificadas, particularmente pronunciado en el periodo en el que aumentó la disponibilidad de tecnologías, y los precios de éstas disminuyeron considerablemente.Conclusiones: En general, los resultados aportan evidencia a favor de la hipótesis de la polarización del mercado laboral en Colombia.
El supermultiplicador, la acumulación de capital, las exportaciones y el crecimiento económico
Authors: Perrotini Hernández Ignacio , Vázquez-Muñoz Juan Alberto
Published: April 2018

Antecedentes: Siguiendo a Kaldor (1978) y a Thirlwall (1979), McCombie (1985) propone un supermultiplicador de las exportaciones en el que éstas afectan positivamente a los componentes de la demanda agregada en el contexto de una economía restringida por la balanza de pagos. En este artículo demostramos que el stock neto de capital también ejerce un efecto supermultiplicador que, a diferencia del anterior, es independiente del valor de la elasticidad ingreso de la demanda de importaciones.Método: Desarrollamos un modelo teórico en el que, dados los niveles de las exportaciones y del stock neto de capital, el nivel de ingreso se ajusta para equilibrar la balanza comercial. Asimismo, realizamos estimaciones econométricas mediante la técnica de efectos fijos usando paneles no balanceados con el fin de calcular las elasticidades del producto interno bruto (PIB) y de la producción para el mercado doméstico con respecto a las exportaciones y al stock neto de capital. Utilizamos datos correspondientes a seis países latinoamericanos para el periodo 1951-2015 y para los subperiodos antes y después de la liberalización económica.Resultados: Tanto el PIB como la producción para consumo doméstico exhiben una mayor elasticidad respecto a la acumulación neta de capital que en relación con las exportaciones.Conclusiones: La acumulación de capital puede afectar positivamente a la balanza comercial mediante la creación de capacidad productiva y la sustitución de importaciones. En consecuencia, tal como lo postuló Hicks (1950), la acumulación tiene un efecto supermultiplicador al permitir el incremento del resto de la demanda agregada, independientemente del valor de la elasticidad ingreso de la demanda de importaciones. El supermultiplicador de las exportaciones (McCombie, 1985) sólo es válido si la elasticidad ingreso de la absorción total de bienes y servicios es menor que la unidad. Además, si la elasticidad ingreso de la demanda de importaciones es mayor que la unidad, un incremento de las exportaciones implica la necesidad de reducir otros componentes de la demanda agregada con el fin de mantener el equilibrio dinámico de la balanza de pagos.

Background : Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is MRI examination to visualize to visualize a disorder in part biliary or of the human bile. The artefact in the image MRCP is often happened due to the movement of respiratory system. Purpose :  This study to compare the better image quality between Breath Hold (SSTSE) and Repiratory Triggering (TSE)techinques. Methods : This study used observational analytic study with prospective approach. 16 samples were examined with two techniques SSTSE and TSE respectively in order to get 3D MRCP image. The Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) is measured to evaluate the image quality. Result: The SSTSE technique only has a higher SNR in gallbladder meanwhile the TSE technique has a higher SNR in pancreatic duct. The higher CNR is got using TSE technique. Conclusion :  The TSE showed the higher SNR in pancreatic duct and the higher CNR is got with SSTSE technique. The recommendation technique for evaluating pancreatic duct is respiratory triggering.

Background: Constipation is a condition when someone has difficulty to defecate. Constipation is indicated by hard and large size stool as well as a decrease frequency of bowel movement. Commonly, constipation is indicated by anxiety during bowel movement due to disruption defecation. Constipation can cause severe stress resulting from discomforts for patient. The severity of the constipation can be measured using the Constipation Scoring System (CSS). CSS is a scoring system for patient, which based on the answers about the symptoms being asked in the questionnaire. One of the herbs to handle the problem of constipation that have a laxative effect is Trengguli (Cassia fistula L.) originate from the family Fabaceae. The part that can be used for a laxative is a Trengguli fruit. A decocta method to Trengguli flesh of the fruit for a laxative, since decocta method generates the highest total anthraquinone glycosides for the use of laxatives. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to prove the effectiveness of decocta pulp of trengguli for the reduction of constipation scoring system among women aged 18- 25 years old with constipation problem. Methods: The method used is quasi-experimental design using a design of one group pre-post test. The study was conducted in December at the clinic Battra Airlangga University School of Medicine with 26 responded. Data were analyzed using SPSS with the Wilcoxon test. Result: The results of this study showed that the decocta pulp of trengguli(Cassia fistula L.) has significant effectiveness with p = 0.000 with p <0.05 on a decrease in constipation scoring sytem for constipation treatment among women aged 18-25 years.

Background : High absenteeism rate affect productivity.In turn, low productivity makes the company suffer loss. In Indonesia there are rarely researches on the issue although actually it needs much attention. Purpose :  The aim of this research was to analyze the correlation between individual factors with   absenteeism  among workers of Ring Frame (Spinning I)PT. X in 2013. Methods : This was an observational descriptives research with cross sectional approach of absenteeism during 2013. The population were workers who experienced absent in 2013 (43 peoples). The variables were individual factor (age,sex, workers status,married status,work span, and education level) and the absenteeism rate such as GAR (Gross Absence Rate),ASR (Absence Severity Rate), AFR (Absence Frequency Rate), Day lost, Spells and the control measures. Results : The results showedthat the days lost were 130 days/years, with frequency absenteeism of 85 spells. The absenteeism rate were : GAR 0,3 % ; ASR 1,1 days and AFR 0,65 spells.GAR, ASR, and AFR were in the normal limit, the highest rate of day lost in category < 3 days and the highest rate of spells in category 1-2 spells. The highest rate of case group found in : age group 25-35 years, women, persistent workers, married, has a work span of 5-14 years and the education level in senior high school.  Conclusion :  there were no significant correlation between individual factors and absenteeism.
