Authors: Sharma Nakul , Yalla Prasanth
Published: August 2018

This paper endeavors toÂ Â  develop newer medium of Â developing research questions by keeping in view both fields of SE and NLP in proper perspectives. An overview of the current state of art research in SE and NLP is presented. This is done by referring to the SE Body of Knowledge (SEBOK). Analogues to SEBOK, there are no separate Body of Knowledge available for the NLP/Computational Linguistics (CL). Hence whatever falls within the category of NLP/CL was considered in framing the research categories from the NLP/CL side. The paper concludes with future scope of the research presented.
Development of A Decision Support System on Employee Performance Appraisal using AHP Model
Authors: Fashoto Stephen Gbenga , Amaonwu Onyebuchi , Afolorunsho Adenrenle
Published: August 2018

Many employeesâ€™ performance appraisal systems lack business standard irrespective of the organization. Performance appraisal system differs depending on the type of work and job description in an organization. Most organizations lack scientific technique for rating their employeeâ€™s performances. In this case, a decision support system will help organizations to have a standardize way of performance appraisal and make the appraisal process transparent, fair and just. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used in this paper to evaluate employees performances based on five criteria: personal skills, initiatives, teaching quality, method of teaching and research in which case each of the criteria was divided into sub-criteria; and by applying the Decision Support software for evaluating employees performance in line with the individual objectives required to meet the overall organizational mission. The result obtained showed that the consistency ratio (CR) of the five criteria is C.R = 0.0976 which showed that there is consistency in all the criteria in appraising the performance of an academic staff in Kampala International University (KIU) except research. Therefore, personal skills, initiatives, teaching quality and method of teaching are consistent and valid factors while research has not been consistent in appraising an academic staff in KIU despite the weight (47%) attached to it.

Auf dem Weg zu einer wirklich allgemeinen Psychologie
Authors: Seidel Reiner
Published: August 2018

In diesem Artikel wird gegen die herkömmliche »Allgemeine Psychologie« der Vorwurf erhoben, dass sie im Wesentlichen eine Psychologie der (höheren und niederen) Tiere ausarbeite, während sie die für den Menschen spezifischen Eigenschaften ignoriere. Kritisiert wird hier weder, dass die herkömmliche Allgemeine Psychologie sich auf Tierexperimente stützt, noch, dass sie mit menschlichen Versuchspersonen arbeitet – beides ist für jede empirische Psychologie unerlässlich. Der Vorwurf geht dahin, dass ihre bei Menschen durchgeführten Experimente meist bei entsprechenden Adaptationen ebenso an Tieren durchführbar sind oder wären. Paradigmatisch hierfür sind bereits die am Beginn der Experimentalpsychologie stehenden Experimente von Ebbinghaus mit sinnlosen Silben, die über 50 Jahre hinweg die Gedächtnisforschung geprägt haben.
Selbstoptimierung und Enhancement
Authors: Balandis Oswald , Straub Jürgen
Published: August 2018

Das Bemühen, sich und seine Welt zu verbessern, ist anthropologisch-universal. Gleichwohl sind bestimmte Praxen der (unentwegten) Selbstoptimierung und des Enhancements historische und soziokulturelle Besonderheiten, die ebenso besondere Subjekte mit spezifischen Begehren, Bedürfnissen und Bemühungen hervorbringen. Der Übersichtsbeitrag eröffnet nach detaillierten Begriffsbestimmungen einige kritische Einsichten in exemplarische Praxisund Forschungsfelder, in denen die (teils technisch vermittelte) Optimierung des Selbst im Zentrum steht. Dazu zählen Ernährung, Fitness und Gesundheit, Schönheit, Sexualität und Schlaf, alle möglichen physischen und kognitiven Leistungen, emotionale Fähigkeiten und soziale Kompetenzen (die in psychotherapeutischen beziehungsweise psychotechnischen Behandlungen sowie verwandten Beratungen, Trainings und Coachings fokussiert werden). Das zeitgenössische Optimierungsbegehren begnügt sich nicht mit bloßen Verbesserungen des Althergebrachten. In transoder posthumanistischer Zeit tritt es transgressiv auf und zielt – sei es in technomanischen Entwürfen, sei es in feministischer Perspektive – auf die Cyborgisierung des menschlichen Organismus und die Abschaffung des »antiquierten Menschen«. Selbstoptimierungen reichen mithin von traditionellen Selbstformungen und psychotechnischen Manipulationen über pharmakologische und chirurgische Modifikationen sowie prothetische Ergänzungen und Erweiterungen bis zur gehirnphysiologisch installierten Steuerung des Menschen und schließlich seiner genetischen Transformation in einer ›positiven Eugenik‹ und ›neuen Evolution‹.
Потенциальная биологическая активность и химический состав растения Caragana jubata (Pall.) Poir. (обзор)
Authors: Какорин Павел Алексеевич , Терешкина Ольга Ивановна , Раменская Галина Владиславовна
Published: August 2018

Проанализированы данные литературы по вопросу химического состава и биологической активности Caragana jubata (Pall.) Poir. — караганы гривастой семейства Fabaceae (бобовые) — нового потенциально перспективного источника лекарственного растительного сырья, широко применяемого в народной медицине России. Проведены собственные пилотные экспериментальные исследования состава биологически активных веществ и фармакологической активности водного извлечения надземной части C. jubata. На основании анализа литературных данных и результатов собственных экспериментальных исследований можно сделать вывод о том, что доминирующей фракцией биологически активных веществ караганы гривастой являются полифенольные соединения (флавоноиды), преимущественно моно- и дигликозиды, являющиеся производными О-гидроксилированных флавонолов. Согласно литературным данным, карагана гривастая может обладать гепатопротекторной и противовирусной активностью. В результате наших исследований выявлена антиоксидантная активность водного извлечения надземной части C. jubata в условиях in vitro, противовоспалительная и ранозаживляющая активность и отсутствие антибактериальной активности в отношении некоторых фармакопейных штаммов. На основании проведенных информационно-аналитических и экспериментальных исследований C. jubata можно рекомендовать для дальнейшего изучения доклинической и клинической эффективности и безопасности как перспективного лекарственного растения.

Представлен синтез потенциально иммуноактивного лизинсодержащего тетрапептида H-Lys-Ala-Val-Gly-OH. Показана перспективность использования методов смешанных ангидридов и активированных эфиров, обеспечивающих высокий выход тетрапептида. Метод получения пептида усовершенствован тем, что в промежуточных стадиях вместо п-нитрофенэфиров использовали N-оксисукцинимидные эфиры, в результате получили кристаллическое вещество с более высокой чистотой, а вместо ВОС (трет-бутилоксикарбонильная группа) защиты применяли карбобензоксигруппу, что позволило на одной стадии снимать защиты обеих аминогрупп в легких условиях. Сравнительная оценка иммунологической активности полученного тетрапептида на фоне применения вакцины ЭБ на мышах с другими лизинсодержащими тетрапептидами показала наличие у него более выраженный иммуностимулирующей активности. Изучение острой и хронической токсичности обнаружило отсутствие токсического действия у выбранного лизинсодержащего тетрапептида при подкожном введении экспериментальным животным. Установлено, что полученный тетрапептид соответствует 5 классу токсичности, то есть практически нетоксичен.

Published: August 2018

Представлены результаты измерения содержания микроэлементов в ламинариевых и фукусовых бурых водорослях различного происхождения, дополненные литературными данными. Показано, что на концентрацию алюминия, кадмия, кобальта, хрома, меди, железа, ртути, марганца, никеля, свинца, цинка в биомассе бурых водорослей в первую очередь влияет техногенный фактор, на концентрацию стронция — географическая широта района произрастания. Для мышьяка не установлены зависимости между накоплением его в водорослях и степенью загрязнения или географическим расположением места сбора растений. Найдено, что мышьяк лучше накапливается в ламинариевых, а алюминий, железо, медь, марганец — в фукусовых бурых водорослях. В отношении кадмия, ртути, свинца, никеля, цинка, хрома, стронция различия в накоплении представителями 2 семейств сопоставимы с различиями между видами в рамках одного семейства. Сделан вывод о необходимости разработки дополнительных критериев стандартизации бурых водорослей.

Исследовано нейропротективное действие агониста имидазолиновых рецепторов типов I и II, 3-(1H-бензимидазол-2-ил)-1,2,2-триметилциклопентанкарбоновой кислоты, в дозе 50 мг/кг в сравнении с пикамилоном в дозе 30 мг/кг на модели ишемической нейропатии зрительного нерва у крыс-самцов линии Wistar. В эксперименте выявлено, что 3-(1H-бензимидазол-2-ил)-1,2,2-триметилциклопентанкарбоновая кислота предотвращает развитие ишемической нейропатии зрительного нерва, вызванной введением неселективного ингибитора NO-синтазы N-нитро-L-аргинин-метилового эфира (L-NAME) в дозе 12,5 мг/кг в течение 28 сут, и однократным повышением внутриглазного давления (ВГД) до 110 мм рт. ст., в большей степени, чем пикамилон. У крыс в группе с коррекцией 3-(1H-бензимидазол-2-ил)-1,2,2-триметилциклопентанкарбоновой кислотой удельное количество ядер нейронов в наружном ядерном слое достоверно выше на 15,0 % (p < 0,05), в сравнении с группой животных с введением пикамилона; на 33,3 % (p < 0,05), в сравнении с группой с моделированием патологии, что свидетельствует о сохранении их жизнеспособности. Обнаруженные протективные эффекты подтверждены результатами офтальмоскопии и гистологических исследований на 29 сут эксперимента.
Антиоксидантные свойства коменовой кислоты и её кальциевой соли в условиях экспериментального стрессового воздействия
Authors: Шурыгина Л. В. , Злищева Энна Ивановна , Кравцов А. А.
Published: August 2018

Проведено сравнительное исследование влияния коменовой кислоты и нового нейропротекторного фармакологического средства – кальциевой соли коменовой кислоты на окислительные процессы и антиоксидантную систему головного мозга в условиях иммобилизационного стрессового воздействия. Установлено, что применение коменовой кислоты и её кальциевой соли в дозе 4 мг/кг в условиях стрессового воздействия препятствует развитию окислительных процессов в головном мозге стрессированных мышей, способствует нормализации механизмов антиоксидантной защиты. При этом показатели антиоксидантной защиты (каталаза, глутатионпероксидаза, глутатионредуктаза и GSH) у этих животных практически не отличаются от таковых в контроле. В норме кальциевая соль коменовой кислоты и коменовая кислота влияния на эти показатели практически не оказывают. В условиях стресса коменат кальция вызывает более выраженное, в сравнении с коменовой кислотой, снижение активации перекисного окисления липидов.

Published: August 2018

На сегодняшний день результаты лечения низкодифференцированного (медуллярного) рака щитовидной железы (РЩЖ) остаются неудовлетворительными из-за его высокой агрессивности и инвазивности. Одним из основных методов лечения больных РЩЖ является химио- и таргетная терапия. Важнейшим препятствием на пути эффективности таргетных препаратов является недостаточно точный их выбор, не учитывающий различное молекулярно-генетическое состояние опухоли. В представленном обзоре рассмотрены мишени таргетных препаратов, определяются основные маркёры для прогнозирования эффективности терапии, а также возможность применения этих маркёров в клинической практике. В обзоре рассматриваются химерные образования гена RET, мутации в генах EGFR и VEGF; которые вносят большой вклад в патогенез опухоли щитовидной железы. Приведены результаты клинических исследований, указывающие на эффективность использования данных маркеров для персонализации таргетной терапии. Так, при наличии химерных образований гена RET и/или его мутаций рекомендуется применение химиопрепарата сорафениба. Вандетаниб и мотезаниб показали высокую эффективность при наличии в опухолевой ткани щитовидной железы мутаций в гене EGFR. Назначение ингибиторов тирозинкиназ, таких как сорафениб, кабозантиниб, мотезаниб и акситиниб целесообразно при высоком уровне экс-прессии гена VEGF.

O uso das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) para a troca de dados e informações em Odontologia, provendo serviços de saúde em situações em que seja necessário transpor barreiras geográficas, temporais, sociais e culturais é chamado de Teleodontologia. O objetivo dessa revisão integrativa foi analisar o panorama situacional global da Teleodontologia. Foram selecionados artigos científicos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, na íntegra, tanto em português quanto em inglês. A busca dos periódicos foi realizada nas bases de dados Scientific Eletronic Library Online, Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde e PubMed, por meio da combinação dos seguintes descritores “Telemedicine”, “Dentistry”, “Distance, Education”, nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa. Foram encontrados 340 artigos, sendo 14 incluídos para avaliação final, sendo o PubMed a base de dados que mais prevaleceu (71,4%). A maioria dos estudos (85,7%) foi incluída no nível IV de evidência. Foram identificados estudos informando sobre o uso dessa tecnologia para minimizar as barreiras geográficas e fornecer uma assistência adequada às populações mais vulneráveis e outros sobre relatos de profissionais, estudantes de Odontologia e pacientes quanto ao uso da Teleodontologia. Concluiu-se que a Teleodontologia é uma realidade global, mas ainda necessita de disseminação de suas experiências na comunidade científica, para sua consolidação como uma ferramenta educativa e de assistência à saúde.
THE COEXISTENCE OF ILIACUS MUSCLE VARIATION AND FEMORAL NERVE SPLIT: A CASE REPORT AND POSSIBLE CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS La coexistencia de la variación del músculo ilíaco y de la división del nervio femoral: Reporte de caso y posibles repercusiones clínic
Authors: Dhumale Sameer R. , Alashkham Abduelmenem
Published: August 2018

The iliacus muscle variation and coexisting femoral nerve split were discovered during routine anatomical dissection of iliac fossae in an embalmed cadaver. Careful dissection revealed abnormal branching of the femoral nerve around a muscular slip of iliacus, named iliacus minimus. We reason that the coexistence of a femoral nerve split with aberrant muscular slips increases the chance of nerve compression. The findings reported here support many other cases of unusual femoral nerve branching and highlight the impact on diagnostic testing, imaging, and treatment of pathology within the iliac compartment. Understanding and recognising anatomical variation is critical for medical specialists and educators, particularly anatomists, radiologists, and surgeons in order to improve medical practice;La variación de músculo del ilíaco coexistiendo con la división del nervio femoral fueron descubiertos durante la disección anatómica rutinaria de la Fosa ilíaca en un cadáver fijado. La disección cuidadosa reveló una ramificación anormal del nervio femoral alrededor de una división accesoria del musculo iliaco, llamado iliacus minimus. Razonamos que la coexistencia de una ramificación del nervio femoral con divisiones musculares aberrantes aumenta la posibilidad de compresión del nervio. Los resultados publicados aquí apoyan muchos otros casos de ramificación del nervio femoral inusuales y destacan la relevancia en las pruebas diagnósticas, los métodos por imágenes y el tratamiento de la patología dentro de la fosa iliaca. Comprender y reconocer las variaciones anatómicas son fundamentales para médicos especialistas y docentes, particularmente anatomistas, radiólogos y cirujanos con el fin de mejorar la práctica médica.

Published: August 2018

Se reporta la rara asociación de un aneurisma de arteria trigeminal persistente lateral derecha (Tipo II de Saltzman), aplasia del segmento pre-comunicante de ambas arterias cerebrales posteriores y la presencia de arterias cerebrales posteriores fetales en forma bilateral, en una mujer de 64 años que consultó de diplopía y parálisis del nervio abducens derecho, probablemente debida a compresión del nervio en el espacio latero-celar. Se realizó con éxito la embolización endovascular con coils, sin complicaciones inmediatas. Los hallazgos de CT, RM y angiografía son presentados. Aunque cada una de estas variaciones son infrecuentes en forma individual, la combinación de las mismas no ha sido reportada en la literatura hasta nuestro conocimiento, siendo de enorme importancia en el manejo diagnóstico y terapéutico de pacientes con stroke de mecanismo embolico, así como para la planificación de procedimientos endovasculares diagnósticos y terapéuticos. We report the rare association of an aneurysm of a lateral right persistent trigeminal artery (Saltzman type II), bilateral aplasia of the pre-communicating segment of both posterior cerebral arteries and bilateral fetal posterior cerebral arteries, in a 64 years old woman who suffered from progressive diplopia and right abducens nerve palsy, most likely due to nerve compression in the latero-cellar space. Successful endovascular coils embolization of the aneurysm was performed, with no immediate complications. CT, MR and angiographic findings are presented. Although infrequent as single variations, the association of these three arterial variations has not been reported in literature to our knowledge, having special importance in the diagnostic workup and therapeutic procedures in a patient with an embolic stroke, as well as in the planification of intracranial endovascular diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Domestication and Length-Weight Relationship of Striped Snakehead Channa striata (Bloch)
Authors: Ndobe Samliok , Serdiati Novalina , Moore Abigail Mary
Published: August 2018

The striped snakehead Channa striata is a freshwater fish with potential for aquaculture for consumption and as a source of nutraceutical products. A domestication program using seed (wild fry) from Sigi District in Central Sulawesi Province was initiated in 2013 to promote snakehead culture (grow-out and full-cycle) in this province. During the first two stages (fry to fingerling, fingerling to juvenile), cannibalism was the only observed cause of mortality. The main aim of the third stage was to evaluate locally available natural feeds for juvenile snakeheads over 180 mm in total length. Juvenile snakeheads were reared for 8 weeks in individual compartments in a concrete tank with 3 natural feed treatments (A: Golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata; B: Blue panchax, Aplocheilus panchax; C: Earth worms, Lumbricus rubellus) and 5 replicates per treatment. Feeding (11% of body weight) was twice daily. All juveniles remained in good health, however results showed that treatment B produced the highest relative growth in wet weight (21.8%), significantly different from A (11.8%) and C (9.5%). Over the 3-stage study period the length-weight relationship W = aLb was isometric (b=3), with considerable variation in individual growth patterns.
Narcissism and trust: Differential impact of agentic, antagonistic, and communal narcissism
Authors: Kwiatkowska Maria Magdalena , Jułkowski Tomasz , Rogoza Radosław , Żemojtel-Piotrowska Magdalena , Fatfouta Ramzi
Published: August 2018

Previous research has shown that individuals high in narcissism mistrust others, yet little is known about narcissism’s relation to trust. In the current study (N = 727), we aim to close this gap in the literature by examining the relationship between facets of trust (i.e., cognitive bias in the evaluation of others and personal trustworthiness) and facets of grandiose narcissism (i.e., agentic, antagonistic, and communal). We strive to answer the question whether narcissistic individuals believe that others are reliable, honest, and benevolent (how they perceive others) and whether they present themselves as trusting of others (how they perceive themselves). We posit and show that agentic narcissism is not related to any of the studied trust facets, suggesting that the concept of trust is not relevant to their self-image. In contrast, antagonistic narcissism is negatively related to perceiving others and oneself as trustful, and communal narcissism is positively related to these trust facets, purportedly due to communal self-enhancement. We discuss our findings of the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Concept as well as to the Agency-Communion model of grandiose narcissism.

Published: August 2018

Palynological study from the Dharmasthali Formation exposed in the northern part of Kathmandu valley revealed the composition of forest vegetation that were growing in middle Pleistocene (780 kyrs BP) in this area. In a total fifteen samples were collected from the 46 m exposed section for the palynological study. The profile can be divided into two zones on the basis of pollen assemblages. The lower part (DF-I) is dominated by Pteridophyte spores such as Lygodium, Polypodium, Cyathea and Pteris. The dominance of Pteridophytes indicate that the forest floor was moist and humid. The tree pollen consists of Abies, Pinus, Quercus, Podocarpus and Alnus. Other Gymnosperms such as Picea and Tsuga were represented by very low percentage. Poaceae and Cyperaceae show their strong presence indicating grassland and wetland conditions around the depositional basin. In the upper zone (DF-II) there is increase of Gymnosperms such as Picea and Abies. The subtropical Gymnosperm Podocarpus decreased while Tsuga completely became absent in this zone. Cold climate preferring trees such as Cedrus, Betula, Juglans and Ulmus appeared first time in this zone. The climate became even colder and drier in the upper part of the section. Near water plants such as Cyperaceae and Typha show their dominance in this zone. The plant assemblages from bottom part of the Dharmasthali Formation indicate warm climate condition which was becoming colder after 780 kyrs towards the top part of the sequence. Bulletin of Department of Geology, vol. 20-21, 2018, pp:37-48

Authors: MARTIENKO A.I , TIUTIUNNYK H.O
Published: August 2018

Topicality . On the territory of Ukraine in the coastal areas various spheres and types of economic activity are developing, representing a complex of seafarers, and polyfunctional natural resources of these territories are not always used rationally in the directions of activity; their recreational value and uniqueness are not taken into account; their socioeconomic and ecological damage, in fact, property rights are violated. Natural coastal areas resources are used by subjects of economic activity of various forms and ownership rights to man-made production factors. Lack of economic substantiation of the property rights specification, their blurriness, lead to a conflict of interests of various users with natural recreational resources and the need to transform the state regulation processes in this area.

Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is the substantiation of requirements in the transformation processes concerning the regulation of property relations on the natural recreational and tourist resources of the coastal areas as a basis for rational and environmentally safe use of them.

Research results. The article deals with the institutional aspects of the state regulation development in the field of property relations on recreational and tourist resources. The imperfection of the regulatory and legislative framework concerning the legal status and economic relations with regard to the ownership of beach areas located in coastal zones. The coastal beach areas of southern Ukraine are highlighted and described. The necessity of transformation of institutes and institutions of property management on natural recreational and tourist resources at the state and regional levels is substantiated. The lease relations regarding the use of beach areas are described. The institutional directions of property relations improvement on the natural recreational and tourist resources of the coastal areas are substantiated.

Conclusions. There are many potential recreational beach areas in our country, which can be mastered and used with the maximum social, ecological and economic effect, but the lack of state and local budget funds causes the need for the tenants to use beach resources, with the obligatory carrying out of protective, restorative and other measures for the arrangement of the territories. The process of state regulation of economic relations of recreational coastal resources ownership is not sufficiently effective as a result of the imperfection of the existing legislative and regulatory framework, the mechanisms of control by the state on the state of resources. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the institutional mechanisms of development of property relations on the recreational and tourist resources of the coastal areas.

Permasalahan perkantoran dalam pemanfatan teknologi wireless telah banyak digunakan namun terkadang tanpa memperhitungkan besar dan banyaknya user sehingga tidak mangkus. Untuk penggunaan perkantoran kecil dapat digunakan sistem jaringan wireless sederhana. Sebagian besar kantor telah menerapkan layanan hotspot tetapi layanan hotspot yang diterapkan dengan system lama yaitu penggunaan satu account untuk semua orang yang mengakses jaringan internet kantor. Single sign-on adalah sistem layanan hotspot yang menerapkan satu account untuk satu user, masing-masing user mendapatkan username dan password yang berbeda. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah studi pustaka, analisa kebutuhan, perancangan, implementasi, pengujian dan analisa kecepatan transfer data.  Pembuatan layanan hotspot dengan sistem single sign-on dibutuhkan mikrotik , dan access point yang terhubung dengan perangkat jaringan yang terdpat pada kantor. Konfigurasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan aplikasi  winbox. Perancangan system dilanjutkan dengan dilakukan pengujian dengan analisa terhadap kecepatan transfer data (throughput) terhadap upload data menggunakan tools wireshark. Hasil yang didapatkan dari penelitan ini adalah layanan hotspot dengan system single sign-on dan diketahui kecepatan transfer data jenis file word lebih besar dibandingkan tipe file PDF dan PPT.

Kata kunci : hotspot, mikrotik, throughput, dan single sign-on.

About Pedagogy, Its Words, Concepts and Texts
Authors: Robotova A. S.
Published: August 2018

The article addresses the problem situation in pedagogy related to the development of linguistic and discursive processes. The author develops her previously expressed ideas about the pedagogue’s linguistic literacy and his(her) responsible attitude to the basic concepts of pedagogy. This paper is an attempt to assess these phenomena and their consequences, to present the author’s subjective view on the problem of using words and concepts, constructing of texts in pedagogy. Theoretical reflections are combined with empirical observations of the author. The importance of aesthetic criteria of the pedagogical text is substantiated. One of the main problems of modern pedagogy is servicing of administrative decisions while the urgent issues of education and upbringing remain on the margins. Pedagogy frequently borrows ideas and concepts from the other fields of knowledge without their pedagogical conceptualization. At present we have a sort of hybrid of psychology and pedagogy when their research areas and subjects are mixed. Pedagogy should give empirical substance to all its abstractions. The proper word must be put on its place – in papers, student’s tutorials, in texts.

Considerando a existência de diversos concorrentes no mercado, especialmente nos ambientes de varejo, as empresas dos mais variados setores estão em busca de oferecer valor diferenciado para seus clientes, a fim de fidelizá-los. Há uma diversidade de estudos que indicam que a atmosfera da loja pode ser capaz de afetar o estado emocional dos consumidores quando os sentidos são estimulados e, dessa forma, criar vínculos afetivos com a marca. Diante disso, esta pesquisa procurou verificar se o aroma pode influenciar o comportamento do consumidor em uma atmosfera de loja de vestuário do município de Rio Pomba-MG, por meio de um experimento realizado na segunda quinzena de outubro de 2016. Contrariando estudos já divulgados sobre o tema, os resultados do experimento apresentado neste estudo mostraram quequando o aroma é disperso no ambiente de varejo, este não provoca interferência no comportamento de compra dos consumidores.

Four modified bentonites (La(III), Ce(III), Y(III), Fe(III)) were prepared by ion exchange process to remove arsenite (III) ions from water. The modified bentonites were examined with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The rare earth (REE) and Fe(III) ion content in bentonite was higher than the CEC values obtained by ammonium acetate method related to trivalent ions (2.7 x 10-4 mol g-1). The kinetics, equilibrium time, sorption isotherms and desorption experiments were examined. Lanthanum, yttrium and cerium bentonite can bind similar amount of arsenite(III) ions. Iron-bentonite cannot bind significant amounts of arsenite ions. The active sites and the solubilities of the sorption complex were determined. Arsenite (III) ions sorb in the interlayer space as REEAsO3. The solubility of the arsenite complex was two orders of magnitude smaller than that of the phosphate complex. After desorption the eluted amount of arsenite (III) was 55 % related to the sorbed amount of arsenite. The d(001) basal spacing of modified bentonites and that of after sorption and desorption was measured. After the sorption of arsenite ion on lanthanum bentonite, the d(001) basal spacing of montmorillonite was decreased and after desorption an increase in d(001) basal spacing was observed again. Modified bentonites can be used for removing arsenic ions from water.

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is commonly treated with topical agents, the most important of which are glucocorticosteroids. However, prolonged use of these agents, especially on sensitive areas such as the face, may result in side-effects (e.g. atrophy and telangiectases) by altering collagen synthesis. This was a randomized doubleblind pilot study, performed in Department of Dermatology & VD, Ibn-Sina Sina Medical College, Dhaka. Seventy four patients aged 20-53 years with moderate to severe DLE of the face were randomized 8 weeks of treatment and 8 weeks of follow-up after treatment. In this double-blind study, one group applied pimecrolimus 1% cream twice daily to facial lesions. Efficacy end-points included a combined score based on evaluation of erythema, infiltration and presence of scale. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical pimecrolimus 1% cream in discoid lupus erythematosus. It was observed that before treatment, erythema was severe in 43.2% cases, moderate in 51.4% cases and mild type erythema was present in 5.4% cases. The post-treatment revealed, 29.7% severe type erythema, none evidenced moderate type erythema, only 43.2% had mild type and 27% cases no erythema at all. Before treatment, infiltration was severe in 27% cases, moderate in 54.1% cases and only 18.9% had mild type infiltration. But after treatment, 10.8% had severe type infiltration, 18.9% had moderate, 51.4% had mild and 18.9% had no infiltration at all. Similar response to treatment was noticed with squamation which exhibited a drop from 37.8% to 18.9% in severe cases and from 62.2% to 10.8% in moderate cases. There was a 45.9% mild case and 24.3% had no squamous. It was interpreted that score of patients of DLE, before treatment was 6.78±1.36 and after treatment was 3.97±1.21. Improvement was shown in 70.3 cases and 29.73 cases shown no improvement at all. This study suggest that pimecrolimus cream for discoid lupus erythematosus seems to be a safe and clinically effective option. However, this was an open and uncontrolled study, and double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are needed.Medicine Today 2018 Vol.30(2): 53-56

Pre-eclampsia is the most common medical complication of pregnancy associated with increased maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. Reduced serum calcium level are found associated with elevated blood pressure in preeclampsia. To evaluate serum calcium level in pre-eclamptic women. This cross sectional study was carried out in among 50 preeclamptic patients, aged 20 to 40 years, and gestational age ranges from 20 to 40 weeks and 50 age and gestational age matched normotensive pregnant women having no proteinuria. Serum calcium was measured by Colorimetric method. The mean age and mean gestational age of pre-eclampsia was not significantly different from those of normotensive pregnant women (p=0.203 and p=0.251 respectively). The mean body mass indexes of the test patients were significantly different from those of normotensive pregnant women (p<0.001). The mean serum calcium level was 7.27 ± 3.01 mg/dl in pre-eclampsia and 7.25 ± 2.59 mg/dl in normal pregnant women; did not differ significantly between the subjects of pre-eclampsia and normal pregnant women (p=0.963). Serum calcium has no association in occurrence of preeclampsia.Medicine Today 2018 Vol.30(2): 57-60
