Published: December 2017

Local language is one of the characteristics as well as a cultural richness of an area that needs to be preserved existence. In Gorontalo, some teenagers are not confident in their local languages, and children who are unable to communicate with Gorontalo language even in very simple contexts, especially people in urban areas. Learning local languages of Gorontalo at the level of Early Childhood Education is considered to be one solution, considering the early age is a potential moment to develop various potentials, including the potential for language. Conditions encountered in early childhood education institutions show that learning / language activities in Gorontalo are not structured, resulting in the development of Gorontalo language ability in children is very low. For that reason, learning language of Gorontalo in early childhood needs to be organized in a systematic and structured based on clear guidelines. These guidelines include: (a) learning programs that are appropriate to the characteristics of early childhood development, (b) learning materials appropriate to the characteristics of early childhood development, and (c) evaluation guidelines that can clearly measure the development of local language skills in children aged early.

BOTÁNICAS UNPLUGGED: LATINOS’ RELIGIOUS HEALING AND THE IMPACT OF THE IMMIGRANT CONTINUUM
Authors: Viladrich Anahí
Published: December 2017

Background: Botánicas (literally botanies) are local dispensaries that offer spiritual, healing, and religious services to a mostly Latino and Caribbean population in the United States (U.S). Despite the vast literature on Latinos’ alternative medical systems, little is known on the role of the informal economy of healing in the urban milieu. This paper attempts to fill this vacuum by addressing the role of botánicas in meeting the religious healing and mental health needs of the growing Latino population in New York City (NYC).

Materials and Methods: A two-stage ethnographic study on botánicas took place between 2004 and 2016 in NYC. During the first stage (2004–2006), a research team conducted participant observation and ethnographic mapping. This entailed the identification of two major concentrations of botánicas in Queens and the Bronx, with smaller clusters found in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Participant observation and in-depth interviews were conducted with fifty-six healers during this phase of the project, and thirty in-depth interviews were accomplished during the second phase (2014–2016), which focused on the products and services offered by botánicas in Queens.

Results: Botánica providers and spiritual counselors construct a language of illness — supported by the sociosoma model — that calls attention to the contextual factors of distress, including the harmful effect of troubled relationships in Latinos’ lives. Most providers identified the “immigrant continuum” as one of the main causes of their patients’ suffering. In this vein, they highlighted the impact of Latinos’ undocumented status, family conflicts and financial concerns as key triggers of their deleterious mental health conditions. Participants also shared a holistic explanatory model of mental illness, which combines social stressors and divine causas (causes) as the main source of Latinos’ mental and emotional suffering. Two main ailments, depression and nervios (nervousness) were seen as complementary and closely related to the multifarious impact of the immigrant continuum in Latinos’ lives. These conditions were treated with natural medicines (e.g., herbs), informal counseling and religious ceremonies, such as prayer and ritual cleansing.

Conclusion: The paper sheds light on the role of botánicas, and their providers, in supporting a shared language of illness among Latinos in the U.S. The prevalence of two mental ailments among Latinos, depression and nervios, informs culturally-based processes of diagnosis and treatment in an urban multiethnic milieu. The article ultimately highlights the need for additional theoretical models and empirical research focused on Latinos’ growing mental-health issues in the U.S.

Authors: Chang Shun-Chang , Lee Tsung-Chieh , Lee Chia-Ying , Cheng Tsung-Lin , Sun Mao-Feng , Lo Lun-Chien
Published: December 2017

Background: Asthma is a chronic disease increasingly found in children. To find more economical and efficient alternatives to treat pediatric asthma, the Bureau of National Health Insurance of Taiwan launched the Traditional Chinese Medicine Holistic Treatment Program (TCMHTP). The effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) holistic treatments on pediatric asthma was evaluated based on data collected from the program.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was performed by analyzing a dataset from Changhua Christian Hospital, Taiwan, between January 1st, 2006 and December 31st, 2010. Patients aged between 2 and 15 years, who had been diagnosed with asthma, and had participated in the TCMHTP were recruited, whereas those with other severe diseases were excluded. We analyzed the frequency of emergency department visits (EDV), inpatient admission rate (IAR), and length of hospitalization (LH) of the patients, before and after TCM treatments. Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) was also conducted.

Results: Fifty-eight patients were recruited. The average age of the patients receiving TCM treatments was 5.67±3.03 years. The frequency of EDV decreased from 0.94±0.85 to 0.67±1.19 times annually (p=0.095), the annual IAR decreased from 0.62±0.78 to 0.26±0.67 (p=0.002) and the average LH decreased from 3.32±4.25 to 0.80±1.64 (p=0.000) days per year. Parasympathetically mediated HRV decreased significantly from 60.42±15.33 to 54.89±16.45 nu (p=0.016).

Conclusion: The present study revealed that an appropriate period of TCM holistic treatment intervention can not only significantly lower exacerbations and hospitalization frequency but also reduce vagal tone in asthmatic children.

Authors: Raeesdana Azade , Farzaei Mohammad Hosein , Amini Mohsen , Rahimi Roja
Published: December 2017

Background: Dorema Ammoniacum is a perennial herb which has been used in Persian Traditional Medicine for different indications, including gastrointestinal disorders and sciatica. Despite numerous medicinal uses, there is a lack of toxicological studies on Dorema Ammoniacum; therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate its possible toxic effects as well as the determining chemical composition of its essential oil.

Materials and Methods: Acute toxicity study was performed by administration of single increasing geometric doses of oleo-gum-resin solution (1250, 2500, and 5000 mg/kg) to Wistar rats. For sub-acute toxicity study, repeated doses of oleo-gum-resin solution (100, 200 and 500 mg/kg) were administered orally to rats for 4 weeks. At the end of the treatment, histopathological studies, hematological assessments, and biochemical parameters were performed.

Results: GC-MS was performed to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil. Acute toxicity results demonstrated no mortality, and the Median Lethal Dose (LD50) was greater than 5000 mg/kg. Sub-acute treatment did not show any significant changes in biochemical and hematological parameters at any doses compared to the control group. Histopathological analysis of the organs revealed varying effects. At the level of the liver, vacuolar degeneration and mild inflammation at 200 and 500 mg/kg doses were observed. At the level of kidney, congestion of glomeruli and a widening of the urinary space at 500mg/kg were observed compared to the control group. The principle components of the essential oil were Cuperene (14.31%) and β-Funebrene (12.74%).

Conclusion: The results suggest that the acute administration of the oleo-gum-resin of D. Ammoniacum is not accompanied with signs of toxicity; however, its administration over the long term might associate with renal toxicity and hepatotoxicity.
SERVICE INNOVATION MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND PRICING PRACTICES FOR PERFORMANCE IN MALAYSIAN TELECOM
Authors: Seyedeh Khadijeh Taghizadeh  , K. Jayaraman  , Syed Abidur Rahman  , Ali Quazi
Published: December 2017

This study aims to test the role of pricing practices as an intervening variable in the relationship between service innovation management practices (innovation strategy, innovation process, cross-functional organisation, tools/technology, and system integration) and firms’ performance in an emerging economy. Data were collected from 249 managers representing the Malaysian telecommunications sector using a structured questionnaire. Structural equation modelling (SEM) with SmartPLS software, version 3, was used to achieve the research objectives and to analyse the measurements and structural model. The results showed that, whereas innovation strategy, innovation process, cross-functional organisation, and system integration positively influence pricing practice, tools and technology has an insignificant effect on pricing practice. Interestingly, pricing practice mediates the relationship between innovation strategy and system integration regarding firm performance. The findings of this study suggest that, in the formulation of such a strategy, service firms should consider the pricing factor. Telecommunications service providers could use this model to implement pricing practices particularly driven by innovation practices to achieve the desired performance. The study could also assist managers in understanding suitable pricing practices in the context of the telecommunications industry. The originality of this study lies in the effort to adjoin service innovation management practices with pricing practices that lead to improving the performance of the telecommunications industry.

Published: December 2017

Fictional medium is really very useful to know reality of society. Literature and visual art used realistically to depict several methods in which perfect description of feminism is the aim. The novel is depiction of day to day life, custom and the woman is portrayed as the key figure of Indian families and at the same time, she has been projected as the subject of suffering domestic slavery and suppression. Native feminism in India is not as aggressive as feminism in the West. Patriarchy is another name of native feminism reflected in the novels; through self-realization, it is expected that the woman can emerge as a new woman. The social realist writers have been very much interested in recording social changes and the status of women. Industrialization, urbanization and globalization have brought considerable changes in social life and status of women in India. Position of educated women is quite better than illiterate but gender discrimination still persists. To face all hurdles of their life the next generation women very boldly and intelligently achieve their aims to get their identity.

Authors: Gevehr Daniel Luciano , Grings Jacques Andre , Fetter Shirlei Alexandra
Published: December 2017

O artigo discute a participação da população da região do Paranhana e Encosta da Serra (RS, Brasil) no processo de consulta popular, através da identificação do número de votos e das principais demandas eleitas no período entre 2006 e 2015. A consulta popular, criada no RS em 1998, possibilita que a população participe de forma direta no processo democrático, elegendo parte das prioridades dos investimentos e seviços que comporá o orçamento estadual. Nesse processo os valores são rateados entre as vinte e oito regiões de abrangência dos COREDES, observados critérios populacionais de cada região e o IDESE. A pesquisa mostra que a participação popular na divisão dos investimentos públicos tem diminuído nos últimos anos. Os investimentos mais votados/demandados na região estão voltados para as demandas nas quais o governo já deveria investir – sem necessitar de consulta popular – como saúde, educação e segurança pública, não considerando as especificidades de cada municipio.

Published: December 2017

A seca é uma variação climática presente no semiárido cuja perenidade originou ações governamentais de caráter emergencial, entre elas, os projetos de irrigação permitiram a expansão da lucratividade regional, bem como melhoraram a qualidade de vida da população. Um destes projetos foi o dos perímetros irrigados, os quais tinham como objetivo redistribuir as águas dos grandes rios para o sertão, transformar os sertanejos em pequenos e médios empresários e expandir o agronegócio. Este trabalho se propôs a diagnosticar se a sustentabilidade, sob a ótica do Triple Bottom Line, modelo proposto por Elkington (2012), foi alcançada nos Perímetros Irrigados de Jaguaribe-Apodi, Morada Nova e Tabuleiros de Russas no semiárido cearense. Por meio de pesquisa qualitativa, trabalhada em análise de conteúdo, e quantitativa, utilizando análise correlacional; concluiu-se que  a região é carente de alguns padrões que definem a sustentabilidade e encontra-se diante de outra medida governamental que pode resultar em nova ação emergencial.

Published: December 2017

Baseado na Teoria da Sinalização, este trabalho partiu do pressuposto que os indicadores contábeis emitem sinais a respeito de algumas situações econômicas-financeiras. Ao utilizar um modelo de previsão de insolvência, trabalha-se com a hipótese de que os problemas de uma organização podem ser detectados antecipadamente, identificando dessa forma a saúde financeira da empresa. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste artigo é identificar os indicadores contábeis que sinalizam o estado de recuperação judicial das organizações. Foram selecionadas todas as empresas de capital aberto listadas na BM&FBovespa, durante o período de 2005 a 2013, totalizando 330 empresas e 2.664 observações. Os dados foram agrupados (pooled) de forma desbalanceada e os parâmetros estimados por meio da técnica econométrica Regressão Logística (Logit). Os resultados demonstraram que quatro indicadores são estatisticamente significativos para previsão de recuperação judicial, sendo os índices de Liquidez Corrente, Produtividade dos Ativos e Retorno sobre o Ativo significativos ao nível de 1% e Retorno sobre o Patrimônio Líquido significativo a 5%. Além disso, o modelo estimado classificou 93,69% das observações corretamente, no entanto, apenas em relação ao nível de empresas solvente o percentual de previsão foi satisfatório, atingindo 100%. Apesar do modelo não apresentar um percentual de previsão satisfatório para as empresas em recuperação judicial, os resultados individuais apresentados para cada um deles (significâncias e coeficientes de regressão) foram estatisticamente significativos.

 
PERGESERAN MAKNA DALAM KESENIAN NDOLALAK DAN IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP KEHIDUPAN SOSIAL KEAGAMAAN MASYARAKAT DI PURWOREJO
Authors: Mahsun M
Published: December 2017

Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh asumsi adanya pergeseran makna dalam seni tari ndolalak. Awalnya ketika seni tari tersebut dikreasi mengandung pesan-pesan dakwah yang tersirat dalam lirik lagunya. Namun kenyataannya sekarang telah terjadi perubahan. Perubahan itu adalah antara lain; lirik lagu tidak lagi bernuansa dakwah,  dahulu penarinya laki-laki, sekarang perempuan.

Ada tiga masalah yang dikaji yaitu: Pertama, mengapa terjadi pergeseran nilai dalam seni tari ndolalak? Kedua, faktor apa yang memengaruhi pergeseran nilai tersebut? Ketiga, apa implikasinya dalam kehidupan sosial-keagamaan masyarakat di Purworejo?.

Metode pengumpulan data terdiri dari intervew dan dokumentasi. Sedangkan analisisnya menggunakan metode induktif dengan menggunakan dua pendekatan yakni  antropologi dan sosiologi. Dalam analisisnya, menggunakan teori Clifford Geertz yakni teori simbol/pergeseran nilai, untuk menganalisa pergeseran nilai dan faktor yang mempengaruhi;  dengan memposisikan tari ndolalak sebagia sebuah simbol yang di dalamnya tersimpan nilai-nilai. Sementara analisis implikasi sosialnya menggunakan teori dialektika sosialnya Peter L. Berger.

Temuannya adalah pertama, terjadi pergeseran nilai dalam seni tari ndolalak karena adanya tarik menarik antara etika/norma dan estetika dalam memahami seni. Kedua, ada 2 faktor yang memengaruhi pergeseran nilai tersebut yaitu faktor intrinsik terdiri dari SDM, keindahan (beauty), gerakan dan lirik lagu. Dan faktor ekstrinsik meliputi ekonomi, dinamika sosial, paham keagamaan, intervensi pemerintah, maraknya musik orgen tunggal dan dangdut. Ketiga, Implikasi sosialnya adalah terjadi pro dan kontra terhadap eksistensi seni tersebut terutama setelah muncul fatwa haram dari MUI Purworejo tahun 1985.
Effects of High Intensity Statin Therapy in the Treatment of Diabetic Dyslipidemia in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Vavlukis Marija , Kedev Sasko
Published: December 2017

Background:

Diabetic dyslipidemia has specifics that differ from dyslipidemia in patients without
diabetes, which contributes to accelerated atherosclerosis equally as dysglycemia. The aim of this study was to
deduce the interdependence of diabetic dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), therapeutic strategies
and the risk of diabetes development with statin therapy.

Method:

We conducted a literature review of English articles through PubMed, PubMed Central and Cochrane,
on the role of diabetic dyslipidemia in atherosclerosis, the antilipemic treatment with statins, and the role of statin
therapy in newly developed diabetes, by using key words: atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, diabetic dyslipidemia,
CVD, statins, nicotinic acid, fibrates, PCSK9 inhibitors.

Results:

hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia cannot be treated separately in patients with diabetes. It seems that
dyslipidemia plays one of the key roles in the development of atherosclerosis. High levels of TG, decreased levels
of HDL-C and increased levels of small dense LDL- C particles in the systemic circulation are the most specific
attributes of diabetic dyslipidemia, all of which originate from an inflated flux of free fatty acids occurring due to
the preceding resistance to insulin, and exacerbated by elevated levels of inflammatory adipokines. Statins are a
fundamental treatment for diabetic dyslipidemia, both for dyslipidemia and for CVD prevention. The use of statin
treatment with high intensity is endorsed for all diabetes-and-CVD patients, while a moderate - intensity treatment
can be applied to patients with diabetes, having additional risk factors for CVD. Statins alone are thought to
possess a small, although of statistical significance, risk of incident diabetes, outweighed by their benefits.

Conclusion:

As important as hyperglycemia and glycoregulation are in CVD development in patients with diabetes,
diabetic dyslipidemia plays an even more important role. Statins remain the cornerstone of antilipemic treatment
in diabetic dyslipidemia, and their protective effects in CVD progression overcome the risk of statin- associated
incident diabetes.

Objectives: Epidemiological data suggest that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) may protect against Alzheimer's disease (AD). Unfortunately, recent trials have failed in providing
compelling evidence of neuroprotection. Discussion as to why NSAIDs effectivity is uncertain is
ongoing. Possible explanations include the view that NSAIDs and other possible disease-modifying
drugs should be provided before the patients develop symptoms of AD or cognitive decline. In addition,
NSAID targets for neuroprotection are unclear. Both COX-dependent and independent mechanisms
have been proposed, including γ-secretase that cleaves the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and yields
amyloid β peptide (Aβ).

Methods:

We have proposed a neuroprotection mechanism for NSAIDs based on inhibition of mitochondrial
Ca2+ overload. Aβ oligomers promote Ca2+ influx and mitochondrial Ca2+ overload leading to
neuron cell death. Several non-specific NSAIDs including ibuprofen, sulindac, indomethacin and Rflurbiprofen
depolarize mitochondria in the low µM range and prevent mitochondrial Ca2+ overload induced
by Aβ oligomers and/or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). However, at larger concentrations,
NSAIDs may collapse mitochondrial potential (ΔΨ) leading to cell death.

Results:

Accordingly, this mechanism may explain neuroprotection at low concentrations and damage at
larger doses, thus providing clues on the failure of promising trials. Perhaps lower NSAID concentrations
and/or alternative compounds with larger dynamic ranges should be considered for future trials to
provide definitive evidence of neuroprotection against AD.
A Harbor Resonance Numerical Model with Reflecting, Absorbing and Transmitting Boundaries
Authors: Chang Yansheng , Wang Edward H.
Published: December 2017

Background:

A very important aspect in the planning and design of a harbor is to determine the response of the harbor basin to incident waves. Many previous investigators have studied various aspects of the harbor resonance problem, though correct to a certain extent, have some disadvantages.

Objective:

To calculate wave response in an offshore or coastal harbor of arbitrary shape, this research develops a two-dimensional linear, inviscid, dispersive, hybrid finite element harbor resonance model using conservation of energy approach. Based on the mild-slope wave equation, the numerical model includes wave refraction, diffraction, and reflection. The model also incorporates the effects of variable bathymetry, bottom friction, variable, full or partial absorbing boundaries, and wave transmission through permeable breakwaters.

Methods:

Based on the mild-slope wave equation, the numerical model includes wave refraction, diffraction, and reflection. The model also incorporates the effects of variable bathymetry, bottom friction, variable, full or partial absorbing boundaries, and wave transmission through permeable breakwaters. The Galerkin finite element method is used to solve the functional which was obtained using the governing equations. This model solves both long-waves as well as short-wave problems. The accuracy and efficiency of the present model are verified by comparing different cases of rectangular harbor numerical results with analytical and experimental results.

Results:

There said results indicate that reduction in wave amplitude inside a harbor caused by energy dissipation due to water depth, linearly sloping bottom, and bottom friction is quite small for a deep harbor. But for a shallow harbor, these factors are critical. They also show that reduction in wave amplitude inside a harbor due to boundary absorption, permeable transmission, harbor entrance width, and horizontal dimensions.

Conclusion:

Those factors are very important for both deep and shallow harbors as proven by accurate agreement with the prediction of this numerical model. The model presented herein is a realistic method for solving harbor resonance problems.
TENSE MARKERS AMONG HINDI SPEAKING TYPICALLY DEVELOPING CHILDREN
Authors: Tashreefa Ramandeep Kaur,
Published: December 2017

In grammar, tense is a category that expresses time reference with reference to the moment of speaking. Tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verbs, particularly in their conjugation patterns. Most of the previous research reveals that tenses develop with age and thus older children had more accurate speech and fewer error patterns in their speech. However, in Indian contexts, limited studies are noted in the area of language development in children with intellectual disability Hindi-speaking children. Thus, the present study aims to explore tense markers in Hindi speaking intellectually disabled children and its comparison across mental age (MA) matched typically developing children. The results revealed that syntax develops significantly with the age. Comparison across the two groups showed higher occurrences of tense forms among TD children when compared to the children with ID.  Related studies are discussed clearly in the paper which reveals a number of studies supporting the finding. The present study has significant implications for the assessment of developmental speech disorders among Hindi-speaking group of Indian population.

Authors: Babinets L.S. , Kytsai K.Yu.
Published: December 2017

Актуальність. Значна роль у виникненні та прогресуванні хронічного панкреатиту, одного з найбільш поширених захворювань у загальнотерапевтичній практиці, належить активації калікреїн-кінінової системи (ККС), яка бере участь у процесах розвитку запалення, згортання крові та фібринолізу, в імунних реакціях, формуванні больового синдрому та ін. Мета. Дослідження динаміки показників ККС при застосуванні препарату метадоксин у складі комплексної терапії хворих на хронічний біліарний панкреатит (ХБП) у поєднанні з ожирінням. Матеріали та методи. Досліджено 75 хворих на ХБП у поєднанні з ожирінням. Хворих було розподілено на 2 групи. Перша група (30 осіб) отримувала загальноприйняте лікування (ЗПЛ). Друга група (45 осіб) отримувала в комплексі до ЗПЛ препарат метадоксин. Результати. Після проведеного лікування позитивна динаміка спостерігалась в обох групах. Проте у пацієнтів другої групи простежувалась більш значуща позитивна динаміка показників ККС: рівень протеолітичної активності знизився на 9,0 %, калікреїну — на 20,0 %, a1-інгібітор протеїназ — на 7,2 %, а показник прекалікреїну зріс на 6,4 %, a2-макроглобулін — на 10,8 %, кініназа II — на 10,7 % у порівнянні з 1 групою. Висновки. Застосування метадоксину у складі комплексної терапії хворих на ХБП із коморбідним ожирінням сприяло вірогідному підвищенню ефективності ЗПЛ.
La creencia sin pertenencia como fenómeno emergente en la sociedad chilena. Desafíos a la reflexión de la fe.
Authors: Torres P. Sergio
Published: December 2017

The religious field is undergoing profound transformations in Latin America. Chilean society does not escape from this dynamic. This paper deals with the mass transit of Chilean population from a religiosity strongly marked by Catholicism to a type of belief where belonging in a religious denomination is no longer a gravitating factor. The approach is based on a selection of studies focused on a local basis; it analyzes theoretical assumptions prevailing in the analysis of this phenomenon from the standpoint of social sciences; and highlights some elements that this situation represents for reflecting on faith. In this way, it seeks to promote faith in dialogue with its cultural context as an opportunity to go deeper into the experience of faith.
