Authors: K Vijayalakshmi , C L Krithika , P H Raghuram , A Kannan
Published: February 2018

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to estimate and compare the measurement of trabecular bone pattern in the mandible of normal and osteoporotic volunteers.Methods: A 43 female volunteers were selected as osteoporotic (n=43) group and 30 as normal (n=30) group with age ranging from 25 to 60 years were enrolled based on bone mineral densitometer (BMD) in the calcaneus bone. A detailed case history followed by digital periapical radiograph was performed. The mandibular trabecular bone pattern in these volunteers was determined using Image J software, after standardizing the pixel size and locations of the region of interest for three different regions between the two groups. Statistical analysis using independent t-test and Pearson coefficient was performed.Results: Results showed a significant difference in mean BMD values between the groups (0.52 in normal and −3.22 in osteoporotic). There are no significant differences in mean fractal dimension values between the groups (0.83 in normal and 0.82 in osteoporotic). Pearson correlation coefficient shows no significant correlation between the groups at three sites (p˃0.001).Conclusion: Although trabecular bone microstructure on an intraoral radiograph plays a key role in defining osteoporosis, the present study did not show any significant difference in its architecture between normal and osteoporotic individuals as defined by BMD. Therefore, further studies should be performed using better-standardized resolution strategies and different estimation methods to gain more insight.

Authors: Sahib Mohanad Naji
Published: February 2018

Objective: There is paucity in the literature and documentation regarding the post-marketing product quality in Iraq and Middle East countries in general. Therefore, a simple reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of carbamazepine (CMZ) content in post-marketed tablet dosage form.Methods: The RP-HPLC analysis was run at a flow rate of 1 ml/min with a mixture of methanol: water (70:30) mobile phase using a Thermo Synchronise C18 column at a UV detection wavelength of 230 nm. The method was validated for selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), solution stability, and robustness.Results: The calibration curve was linear over a concentration range of 1–20 μg/ml (r2=0.9999) with LOD and LOQ of 0.01 and 0.04 μg/ml, respectively. The intraday and interday precision and accuracy were between 0.04–1.67% and 0.04–0.78%, respectively. The results of analysis of the four brands of CMZ tablets were passed the European Pharmacopoeia specification but with a high standard deviation of mean drug content of some brands.Conclusion: This study shows that the quality of post-marketed drugs and/or the storage conditions in developing countries must be carefully assessed for a better therapeutic response.

THE ASPECT OF NEUROCOGNITIVE AND REHABILITATION ON ALEXIA WITHOUT AGRAPHIA CASE
Authors: Widyastuti Ketut , Laksmidewi Aaa Putri , Widyadharma Putu Eka
Published: February 2018

Alexia without agraphia is a syndrome of disconnection which causes an abruption of visual input to language area. Pure alexia can impact reading ability and create dependency on patients when they do their daily work. An early stage of alexia without agraphia can be detected through a set of neurocognitive evaluation. Besides, it is believed that this assessment has a significant role in anticipating the lag of a proper rehabilitation. Herein, we report a case of a 45-year-old female; she complained about having a visual malaise on her right vision and also said to lose her ability to read very suddenly 14 days prior. On language diagnostic screening, the patient was able to speak fluently, could comprehend and repeated phrases regularly but an experienced loss of color recognition. The patient’s visual acuity seemed reasonable and was able to write words or phrases in spite of unable to read. The patient suffered from stage 2 hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, and diabetes mellitus according to physical examination and laboratory evaluations. Furthermore, an acute infarction on the left posterior cerebral artery which involved the splenium of the corpus callosum and left visual cortex was detected on brain magnetic resonance imaging. Furthermore, the cerebral magnetic resonance angiography results did not show any hemodynamic disruption occurred by occlusion or stenosis. A tactile-kinesthetic exercise and multiple oral re-reading (MOR) program had increased the rehabilitation efficacy for reading ability. However, right-sided homonymous hemianopia did not demonstrate any significant improvements. Alexia without agraphia can be a secondary symptom which occurs in stroke patients, due to the lesion in occipital cortex and area of the posterior corpus callosum on the dominant hemisphere. Neurocognitive evaluation by language diagnostic modalities on alexia without agraphia had demonstrated reading disruption, despite intact writing, and other language-related abilities. Tactile-kinesthetic exercise and MOR were reported to improve the malaise of reading ability.

Published: February 2018

Objectives: The objective is to compare the effectiveness of intra-articular injection of ropivacaine and bupivacaine in providing pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery.Methods: A total of 60 patients of both genders aged 20–60 years, the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical Status I and II, undergoing day-care arthroscopic knee surgery under spinal anesthesia, were assigned into two groups randomly. Group 1 received 10 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine, while Group 2 received 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine intra-articularly at the end of the procedure. Pain was assessed for 24 h postoperatively using visual analog scale (VAS) and diclofenac sodium given as rescue analgesia when VAS >3. Time of first analgesic request and total rescue analgesic were noted and compared. Statistical analysis used: Students unpaired t-test and Chi-square test and Mann–Whitney test “Z” value wherever appropriate. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Based on comparable demographic profiles, time for the requirement of first post-operative rescue analgesia (262.43±57.13 vs. 256.30±44.4) min and total mean rescue analgesic requirement was 152.50±57.367 vs. 142.50±41.07 mg in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. Group 1 showed slightly prolonged duration of analgesia, but total analgesic requirement was more than Group 2. However, comparing the duration of analgesia and total analgesic requirement showed no statistically significant difference between the groups (p>0.05).Conclusion: Both ropivacaine and bupivacaine injected intra-articularly have similar efficacy statistically in relieving post-operative pain in day-care arthroscopic knee surgery.

Authors: R Sathish , G Jeyabalan
Published: February 2018

Objective: The present study was to demonstrate the in vitro anti-lithiatic effect of Ipomoea batatas (Convolvulaceae) leaves and tuberous roots.Methods: The obtained ethanolic extract of I. batatas leaves and tuberous roots (EIBL and EIBR) and aqueous extract of I. batatas leaves and roots (AIBL and AIBR) were used for this in vitro study. The dissolution method of calcium oxalate by titrimetry method and calcium phosphate by colorimetric method was studied. Nucleation and aggregation of calcium oxalate crystals were determined by a spectrophotometric assay.Results: In the estimation of calcium oxalate by titrimetry method, the I. batatas leaves and roots have very significant (p<0.01) capability to dissolve calcium oxalate. Percentage dissolution of calcium oxalate crystals was found to be 37.53%, 22.74%, 39.74%, and 24.28% for EIBL, AIBL, EIBR, and AIBR, respectively. In the estimation of calcium phosphate by colorimetric method, the percentage dissolution of calcium phosphate crystals by EIBL, AIBL, EIBR, and AIBR was found to be 67.15%, 43.17%, 76.74%, and 47.96%, respectively. The I. batatas leaves and roots were significantly (p<0.01) dissolved calcium phosphate also. The results were clearly shown that I. batatas extracts significantly (p<0.01) inhibited both nucleation and aggregation of calcium oxalate crystals by concentration-dependent manner. The maximum percent inhibition of calcium oxalate nucleation by EIBL, AIBL, EIBR, and AIBR was found to be 59.09%, 50.0%, 84.09%, and 47.73%, respectively, at 1000 μg/ml. The EIBL, AIBL, EIBR, and AIBR were inhibited calcium oxalate aggregation by 63.46%, 36.54%, 84.61%, and 42.3%, respectively, at 1000 μg/ml.Conclusions: The results clearly indicate that I. batatas leaves and tuberous roots were found to express in vitro anti-lithiatic potential.
Burnout and Resiliency Among Family Medicine Program Directors
Authors: Porter Maribeth , Hagan Helen , Klassen Rosemary , Yang Yang , Seehusen Dean A.
Published: February 2018

Background and Objectives: Nearly one-half (46%) of physicians report at least one symptom of burnout. Family medicine residency program directors may have similar and potentially unique levels of burnout as well as resiliency. The primary aims of this study were to examine burnout and resiliency among family medicine residency directors and characterize associated factors.
Methods: The questions used were part of a larger omnibus survey conducted by the Council of Academic Family Medicine (CAFM) Educational Research Alliance (CERA) in 2016. Program and director-specific characteristics were obtained. Symptoms of burnout were assessed using two single-item measures adapted from the full Maslach Burnout Inventory, and level of resiliency was assessed using the Brief Resilience Scale.
Results: The overall response rate for the survey was 53.7% (245/465). Symptoms of high emotional exhaustion or high depersonalization were reported in 27.3% and 15.8% of program directors, respectively. More than two-thirds of program directors indicated that they associated themselves with characteristics of resiliency. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were significantly correlated with never having personal time, an unhealthy work-life balance, and the inability to stop thinking about work. The presence of financial stress was significantly correlated with higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. In contrast, the level of resiliency reported was directly correlated with having a moderate to great amount of personal time, healthy work-life balance, and ability to stop thinking about work, and negatively correlated with the presence of financial stress.
Conclusions: Levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and resiliency are significantly related to personal characteristics of program directors rather than characteristics of their program.
Removal of lithium from water by aminomethylphosphonic acid-containing resin
Authors: Çiçek Aydin , Yilmaz Onur , Arar Özgür
Published: February 2018

This study gives an overview of the ability of aminomethylphosphonic acid
containing chelating resin for the removal of lithium (Li+) from water.
Studies were performed under various conditions such as resin dose, initial
Li+ concentration, solution pH and solution temperature. Results showed that
the sorption of Li+ reached equilibrium within 15 min and the experimental
data were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Li+
sorption was highly pH dependent, and the optimum pH for Li+ removal was ?3.
Isotherm sorption data displayed good correlation with the Langmuir model,
and maximum monolayer sorption capacity of resin found as 13.65 mg/g.
Thermodynamic studies suggested that Li+ sorption onto chelating resin was
an exothermic and spontaneous process in nature. Resin can be regenerated by
0.1 M HCl, NaCl or H2SO4 with > 99 % efficiency. Desorption of Li+ with 0.1
M NaCl resulted in no changes of the uptake capacity through four subsequent
sorption/desorption cycles

Tangihanga
Authors: Rangiwai Byron
Published: February 2018

This piece is about the tangihanga of my grandmother who was born in 1940 and passed away in December 2017. My grandmother practically raised me. Her influence over my life is undeniable. She sacrificed much for me and encouraged and believed in me always. My grandmother came from a different world to others in her generation. She was raised in Waiōhau, the home-base of the Patuheuheu hapū. She was a native speaker of the Tūhoe dialect and she came from a world where the spiritual and physical were seen as one. This piece speaks of the tangihanga process and emphasises the intensity of the grief we experience as Māori when someone close to us dies, but also the healing that comes from being surrounded by whānau.

Published: February 2018

This paper investigates the possibility of constructing multi-microgrids by interlinking the rural area systems in the Al Wusta governorate of the Sultanate of Oman, which are currently being supplied by diesel generators. It is proposed to enhance the rural system under study by switching off small diesel stations and replacing them with wind turbines. The microgrids formed in this way are then interlinked together to create multi-microgrids. The paper studies the interlinked multi-microgrids under different scenarios; in terms of voltage profiles and power flow using the ETAP software package. This study contributes to the feasibility study of retiring some diesel power plants and using renewable energy resources in rural Oman.
Capture Aware Channel Access Protocol in Wireless Network
Authors: S Mustafa
Published: February 2018

Spatial reuse in wireless networks is limited by the SINR threshold and it might be feasible to capture a packet in the presence of ongoing foreign transmission. This work considers a new capture aware channel access protocol by incorporating global channel state information in the decision making process for the channel access jointly with adaptive power framework. The protocol employs power heterogeneous ad-hoc networks; it assigns different transmission power level to individual nodes based on dynamic observation of the network traffic. It exploits spatial heterogeneity of flows at a given channel allocation and sets up either symmetric or asymmetric carrier sensing which in turn  schedules the data packets transmission to maintain adequate service quality and fairness enjoyed by a user. It stands atop capture capable PHY to leverage the channel reuse which is of paramount importance in the design of high capacity ad-hoc networks. Through extensive simulations, the paper demonstrates the efficacy of the new protocol. It delivers high network utilization and also provides fair access to the media.

Authors: Amate Romera Jorge
Published: February 2018

Introducción.La evaluación de las estrategias de aprendizaje goza de una gran importancia debido a las conexiones que, según las últimas investigaciones, mantienen con el rendimiento académico. A lo largo del presente artículo pretendemos exponer los resultados obtenidos, así como detallar el procedimiento aplicado, durante el proceso de evaluación del uso de estrategias de autorregulación en la ejecución en una tarea de tipo lógico-matemático.Método. La evaluación, fue llevada a cabo en tres momentos (antes, durante y después de la tarea) en los que se obtuvo información acerca de cuatro grandes tipos de estrategias (meta-cognitivas, cognitivas, apoyo y motrices). Participaron un total de 24 alumnos/as de último nivel de Educación Infantil de un Colegio Público de Almería (España). A través de la aplica-ción de entrevistas individualizadas adaptadas a la edad y registradas mediante un protocolo diseñado específicamente a tal efecto.Resultados. Se da un déficit de estrategias de tipo metacognitivo antes de la tarea. Durante la ejecución la estrategia más utilizada es la búsqueda de información mediante preguntas. Después de la ejecución de la tarea pocos sujetos la justifican en función de aspectos cognitivos y metacognitivos. Encontramos que los perfiles estratégicos correlacionan con el rendimiento cognitivo. Los ANOVAS señalan que el tipo de ejecución marca diferencias en el rendimiento, en el total de estrategias usadas y en los tipos de estrategias de aprendizaje y autorregulación.Discusión. En general, apreciamos un déficit significativo en el uso de estrategias metacognitivas, coherente con el nivel evolutivo, si bien puede ser compensado parcialmente con el uso de otras estrategias de orden cognitivo y motriz en determinados momentos de la ejecución. Igualmente, encontramos el uso de estrategias de apoyo al procesamiento durante la ejecución de la tarea.

Published: February 2018

Objective: biometric analysis of melanoma cells derived from different types of primary or secondary tumors could be necessary for better understanding tumor heterogeneity as that phenomenon would affect significantly the anti-cancer therapy efficacy. Materials and Methods. A comparative analysis of melanoma cells that reflect different stages of tumor progression was accomplished with following parameters tested: intensity of apoptosis, proliferation/metabolic activity, the ratio of the cell cycle phases distribution, chromosomal constitution analysis, invasion, and migration capacity. Results. It was found that melanoma cells derived from visceral metastases characterized by a high proliferative/metabolic potential, migratory ability, and mitotic potential. Melanoma cells which represent earlier stages of carcinogenesis have higher invasive activity and percentage of polyploidy cells, indicating high mutational potential. Both cell lines have no differences in the expression of apoptosis. Conclusion. Melanoma cells derived from metastasis demonstrate various abilities for growth, migration, and invasion depending on metastasis origin. In that context, isolation of pathological cells and tissues, both native and fixed, followed by their individual testing for each patient will have a high demand for both fundamental and clinical medicine for more adequate therapy choice.

Authors: Siddiquee Tasneem , Goni Abdul
Published: February 2018

Chemical treatment of CoX2. 6H2O (X = Cl, Br, I) with the potentially tridentate PNP pincer ligand 2,6-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)pyridine in 1:1 molar ratio results in cobalt(II) halide-PNP pincer complexes. The effect of the hydrated metal source on molecular structure and geometry of the complexes was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complexes are neutral and the cobalt center adopts a penta-coordinate system with potential atropisomerization. Within the unit cell there are two distinct molecules per asymmetric unit. One of the two phosphorus atoms in the PNP ligand was observed to be partially oxidized to phosphinoxide. Disorder in the structure reflects a mixture of square pyramidal and distorted tetrahedral geometry.

A geografia imaginativa no discurso extrativista no Peru
Authors: Fuchs-Sawert Lucia , Mueller Airton Adelar
Published: February 2018

A vertiginosa expansão das atividades extrativas no Peru, a partir do final do milênio passado, propiciou não apenas o crescimento econômico, mas também conflitos socioecológicos, que dizem respeito a mais do que distribuição de bens materiais, eles são pontos candentes no processo de negociação da identidade nacional e do pertencimento à nação. No Peru, impôs-se uma conceituação de território nacional como sendo formado por três regiões: Sierra, Costa e Selva. A ocorrência de recursos naturais se dá principalmente na Sierra e na Selva, o que influencia sobremaneira o papel dessas regiões no país. Este artigo aborda, via análise de discurso, como o ex-presidente peruano García (2006-2011) interpreta esses conflitos e como isto se relaciona com a construção histórica da geografia peruana. Desta análise sobressai-se que, no contexto de negociações sobre a exploração comercial de recursos naturais, adstrições racistas entram em cena. Através da referência a regiões geográficas, diferentes formas de conhecimento são hierarquizadas. Assim, protestos são deslegitimados, e o poder hegemônico de definir a identidade nacional é reforçado. O extrativismo torna-se daí um projeto de integração cultural e territorial sob a bandeira do progresso e do desenvolvimento, bem como um instrumento de reprodução do racismo e da desigualdade.
A evolução do emprego na região do Corede Vale do Rio dos Sinos (Consinos) no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul: o caso da Indústria Criativa nos anos de 2000
Authors: De Bem Judite Sanson , Waismann Moisés , Araujo Margarete Panerai
Published: February 2018

Um dos melhores indicadores de desempenho econômico e social de uma região é o emprego de sua mão de obra, haja vista que representa a possibilidade de inserção social e a melhoria dos padrões de vida da população. Também representa uma possibilidade de diversificação de ocupações e, assim, variados graus de alternativas, no caso de crises, que possam ocorrer em um mercado específico. A região do Corede Vale do Rio dos Sinos (Consinos), no RS, especializada na produção do complexo calçadista, vem, ao longo das décadas de 1990 e de 2000, perdendo participação no PIB e na geração de emprego no Rio Grande do Sul. Mesmo a acumulação de conhecimento, a criatividade, as inovações e as competências tecnológicas, presentes na economia local, não foram suficientes para reverter as adversidades da abertura do mercado brasileiro aos importados. No entanto, outras opções de atividades produtivas vêm sendo perseguidas, através do que se denominam indústrias criativas. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar o comportamento do emprego formal e da renda, na década de 2000, provenientes dos empregos totais, e das indústrias criativas, entre 2000 e 2010, verificando se o primeiro acompanha o mesmo ritmo do segundo. Utilizando-se do CAGED/MTE e da estatística descritiva, o trabalho buscará verificar se houve uma evolução positiva do emprego. Conclui-se que, no médio prazo, ainda há muitas possibilidades de avanço quanto à diversificação da matriz produtiva, sobretudo quando se considera que a atual conformação da indústria criativa no Consinos traz em si um fortíssimo impacto nas atividades ligadas ao calçado, motivo que eleva as dificuldades enfrentadas por ela.

Os Conselhos Municipais de Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável (CMDRS) configuram-se como importantes espaços para a articulação dos pequenos agricultores nas decisões e discussões sobre o desenvolvimento rural regional. Dessa forma, o presente artigo apresenta um estudo de caso sobre os perfis dos CMDRS no território Centro-Sul do Paraná. Os conselhos estudados, em sua maioria, estão cumprindo o previsto pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Rural e Agricultura Familiar (CONDRAF), uma vez que são constituídos por lei ou decreto, possuem maior percentual de agricultores familiares como representantes, e são consultivos e deliberativos, tornando-se ativos nas decisões de seus municípios.

Este estudo tem por objetivo abordar o papel das universidades na promoção do desenvolvimento regional. Para tal, trabalhou-se a partir da lógica dos processos de inovação e de desenvolvimento econômico schumpeterianos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica descritiva, na qual se coletou dados quantitativos acerca do dispêndio governamental brasileiro com inovação, pesquisa e desenvolvimento. A posteriori, comparou-se a realidade brasileira frente a outras economias mundiais. A partir dos dados apresentados, foi possível perceber o quão frágil ainda são os investimentos do governo brasileiro nas áreas de Ciência e Tecnologia e Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento. Entende-se que o papel governamental é de suma importância, para propiciar condições de desenvolvimento regional, a partir da figura da universidade, caracterizando-se como fundamental para tecer novos arranjos na estrutura social.
Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional no Brasil: uma análise em perspectiva histórica
Authors: Amaral Volmir Ribeiro do , Basso David
Published: February 2018

Este artigo analisa a evolução teórico-conceitual da segurança alimentar e nutricional no Brasil e a construção e implantação das principais políticas públicas nesta área, entre 1985 e 2015, bem como evidencia as diferentes incursões desta temática na agenda governamental brasileira e as interações estabelecidas entre governo e sociedade civil. Esta pesquisa utilizar-se-á da revisão literária, para fins de subsidiar a construção analítica do texto, apoiando-se também em dados e relatórios técnicos de órgãos de pesquisa ligados ao tema. Realizando as análises, conclui-se que o Brasil sempre manteve iniciativas na área da segurança alimentar e nutricional, mais ou menos organizadas e em níveis de intensidade que variaram de acordo com cada período histórico, mas foi a partir dos anos 2000 que surgiu um conjunto de leis, políticas e ações que, articuladas entre si e num processo de governança participativa com os atores envolvidos, colocaram a temática num outro patamar, tanto em termos teórico-conceitual quanto de efetividade prática, possibilitando que se vislumbre e se avance no sentido da consolidação das políticas públicas nesta área.
Direito e desenvolvimento territorial: as questões legais que envolvem a indicação geográfica de produtos e serviços no Brasil e no exterior

Published: February 2018

A Indicação Geográfica consiste numa forma de certificação de produtos. Os produtos típicos passam a ser reconhecidos e devidamente registrados, incorporando os direitos de propriedade das pessoas que os produzem e do local em que se originam. A Indicação Geográfica auxilia no desenvolvimento de um território, pois permite que os produtos e serviços dali derivados sejam reconhecidamente diferenciados dos demais, seja em razão das características naturais do território, seja em virtude da forma como são manipulados pelos agentes locais. Ela garante ao consumidor a aquisição de uma mercadoria de origem conhecida, com qualidades peculiares que a valorizam. No presente trabalho, serão abordadas as legislações brasileira e internacional sobre Indicação Geográfica. Com relação à legislação brasileira, serão observadas as principais leis e atos administrativos que tratam da Indicação Geográfica e do procedimento para registro, assim como os tratados internacionais sobre o assunto. Na legislação internacional, serão destacados os principais pontos constantes nos regulamentos da União Europeia. Ao final, será elaborado um quadro comparativo entre as legislações brasileira e europeia sobre Indicação Geográfica, apontando algumas semelhanças e diferenças existentes.
Dinâmicas Urbanas em Espaços Sertanejos Cearenses (DUESC): proposta conceitual para leituras urbano espacial
Authors: Lima Juscelino Gomes
Published: February 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma nova proposta conceitual formulada em trabalho dissertativo denominada de Dinâmicas Urbanas em Espaços Sertanejos Cearenses (DUESC). Por meio da mesma buscou-se compreender o conjunto de transformações sobre os solos urbanos que se operam fortemente desde a década de 1990 em cidades sertanejas do Estado do Ceará, notadamente, a partir de ações imobiliárias. A base para tal nova consideração teórica ancora-se nas categorias de produção do Espaço, Região e Território. Nesse sentido, um diálogo pertinente encontra base em Lefebvre (1973); Haesbaert (2002); Santos (1997), entre outros. Como resultado, tem-se: apresentação de um organograma representando o esquema de relações/ligações dos fatores e elementos constitutivos considerados para a construção conceitual. A partir desta amostragem, a referida proposta contribui para outros debates que tomam as cidades sertanejas do estado do Ceará como norte reflexivo, considerando as inúmeras dinâmicas de transformação e, por conseguinte, a promoção de diferentes rebatimentos, notadamente, os estabelecidos nas escalas inter e intra urbana. Nessa possibilidade, a aplicação do conceito, permite o constructo de diferentes leituras, por diferentes áreas de saber, sobre que produções urbano-espaciais se edificam.
