Authors: Yennan Pawina , Suputtitada Areerat , Yuktanandana Pongsak
Published: April 2018

Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (knee OA) is the most common joint disease in the elderly. It is a major cause of walking disability and balance impairment. The balance impairment or increase postural sway may result in increased risk of fall. Objectives: Compare effects of aquatic exercise and land-based exercise on postural sway and physical performance (pain, quality of life, leg muscle strength and leg muscle flexibility) in the elderly with knee OA. Subjects and methods: Fifty elderly women with knee OA were recruited for this study. They were randomized into aquatic exercise (n=25) and land-based exercise group (n=25). Postural sway views by anterior-posterior amplitude, medio-lateral amplitude, and total area were measured in subjects with eye opened or closed during double and single leg stance after six-week training, using the Force platform. Functional outcome was tested by the modified WOMAC. Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and pain scale were tested by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Leg muscle strength was measured by chair stand, and leg muscle flexibility was measured by sit-andreach test. Aquatic group exercised at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital therapeutic pool, while landbased group exercised at home. Results: In comparing postural sway before and after exercise, reduction in postural sway and pain, and increase in strength, the aquatic group were significantly better than those for land-based group (p <0.05). WOMAC, KOOS scores, and sit-and-reach test after six-weeks training were improved after exercise, but these were not significantly different between groups (p >0.05). Conclusion: Elderly patients with knee OA need exercise to improve balance and reduce sway. Six-week aquatic exercise was better than land-based exercise in sway reduction.

Background: The definitive surgical management of gastroschisis is the return of the eviscerated abdominal content into the abdomen as soon as possible. Objectives: Assess the efficacy of using a sutureless elastic ring silo (SERS) for the management of gastroschisis. Methods: Neonates with gastroschisis were enrolled at Songklanagarind Hospital between January 2006 and December 2008. A primary repair (PR) was attempted in all cases. If this was not possible due to concerns about abdominal compartment syndrome, a stage abdominal closure with a silo pouch was fashioned: a traditional silo (TS) or SERS. When the bowel was completely reduced, a second-stage closure was performed in the operating room. Data collected included general demographic data, size of defect, associated anomalies, hospital course, mode of gastroschisis closure, duration of parenteral nutrition (PN) and ventilator, first feeding age, complications, and length of hospital stay (LOS). Results: Twenty-nine children with gastroschisis were treated (PR: 9, TS: 9, and SERS: 11). There were no differences (p >0.05) concerning gender, mode of delivery, APGAR scores, gestational age, birth weight, or defect size. A preformed silo was employed in 20 of 29 cases, TS in nine (31%), and SERS in 11 (38%) cases in an average operative time of 80.6 and 40 minutes, respectively, a significantly shorter operative time in the SERS (p =0.007). Overall, there were no differences (p >0.05) concerning duration of ventilator support (10.2 days), duration of PN (21.3 days), first feeding age (15 days), LOS (26.5 days), and complication. Conclusion: The use of a sutureless elastic ring silo with readily available inexpensive materials is simple, safe and efficacious in our setting.

Published: April 2018

Background: Pubertal growth data in Thai children has been reported as cross-sectional studies. There is no longitudinal study in Thai children. Objective: Investigate the longitudinal growth data in normal Thai children including the relationship between age at pubertal onset and other growth parameters. Material and method: Eighty-eight normal children (44 boys, 44 girls) were longitudinally assessed for the growth and puberty until they reached their final adult height. Pubertal staging was assessed by the Tanner method. Results: Mean age of pubertal onset was 10.2 ± 1.2 years for girls and 12.2 ± 1.0 years for boys. Total pubertal height gain was 18.3 ± 4.0 cm for girls and 22.3 ± 4.4 cm for boys. Total pubertal height gain had a negative correlation with age at pubertal onset for girls, but not for boys. Conclusion: The onset of puberty was not much changed from previous studies. Girls with early puberty had a higher pubertal height gain. This might be due to a compensatory mechanism. These longitudinal growth data can be used as a reference in clinical practices for Thai children.

Authors: Tepsumethanon Veera , Lumlertdacha Boonlert , Mitmoonpitak Channarong
Published: April 2018

Background: Rabies is a fatal disease. However, dogs are the principal vehicle for rabies transmission of human. A little information about pre-morbid behavior in rabid dogs could be found in the literature. Objective: Assess the value of history taking in predicting rabies diagnosis in dogs, and identify the percentage of rabies positives by history taking in a prospective study. Materials and methods: Studies were conducted at the Rabies Diagnostic Unit, Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute, Thai Red Cross Society between 2002 and 2008. Historical data were collected prospectively from 153 live rabies suspected dogs on admission to the diagnostic facility. Results: Rabies was found in 14% to 80% of dogs with completed questionnaires except for dogs less than one month old, not sick or sick for more than 10 days. Conclusion: History taking does not help in decision-making for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis of humans.

Authors: Tencomnao Tewin , Sritharathikhun Thapanut , Suttirat Sarawut
Published: April 2018

Background: Several lines of evidence suggest that the serotonergic system may be involved in the etiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). Objective: Investigate a potential association between the functional polymorphism in the serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) and MDD in a northeastern Thai population, and explore the involvement of demographic characteristics in this disorder. Methods: One hundred eighty seven patients with MDD and 207 healthy controls were recruited from the same geographical area into the study. The 5-HTTLPR genotypes were determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and analyzed statically. Results: Significant demographic differences between the two groups were observed, which included age, marital status, occupation, educational background, income, and alcohol use. The allele frequencies of the 5- HTTLPR polymorphism in our studied population were relatively near those of Asian populations, especially Chinese, which was regarded as enormously distinct from those of Caucasians. Nevertheless, our present study found no significant association between this polymorphism and MDD with respect to either genotype distributions or allele frequencies. Conclusion: No involvement of the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism was suggested, but demographic features in MDD were highlighted with respect to this studied population.

Authors: Tao Weiping , Hu Sheng , Wang Zhiwei , Fan Jian
Published: April 2018

Background: The genetic factors of colon cancer play an important role in the tumor development and growth. The incidence of colon cancers has greatly increased in China. However, few data is available for the relationship between human muth homolog 1 (hMLH1) gene mutation at site 415 and sporadic colon cancers in Chinese population. Objective: Investigate the relationship between G→C mutation in hMLH1 gene at site 415 and sporadic colon cancers in Chinese Han population. Methods: Using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing techniques, the genotype of the hMLH1 gene was analyzed at site 415 in 97 cases of sporadic colon cancer patients and 138 controls. Reverse-transcription (RT)-PCR was used to determine the level of hMLH1 mRNA expression in normal colonic mucosa of patients with different genotype. Results: The frequency of genotype C/C at the 415 site of the hMLH1 gene was significantly higher in colon cancer patients than in controls. The expression levels of hMLH1 mRNA in normal colonic mucosa were similar in colon cancer patients with different genotypes. Conclusion: G’!C mutation in hMLH1 gene at site 415 may represent a genetic factor that is associated with sporadic colon cancer in a small group of Chinese Han population.

Authors: Rerksuppaphol Lakkana , Rerksuppaphol Sanguansak
Published: April 2018

Background:Alternative medicine and Asian traditional medicine propose the use of acupuncture for treating obesity that generates several collateral effects on overall health. Objective: Analyze the efficacy of electro-acupuncture (EA) at the main acupoints in overweight/obese Thai women. Methods: Thirty women were recruited from Srinakharinwirot University Hospital. The patients were divided into three groups based on the type of obesity by the traditional Chinese medicine. Electro-acupuncture was done at 22 main acupoints. The primary outcome was efficacy of EA effect on body-weight reduction, while changes of other anthropometric parameters were considered as secondary outcome. Results: At the end of acupuncture, 87% of women had weight reduction, and major benefit was observed in type 2 and type 3 groups. The overall weight reduction was 2.6 kg (95%CI: 1.2-4.0 kg). However, the deficiency-type obese women (type 2 and 3) had more weight reduction than the excess-type obese women (type 1) with mean weight reduction of 2.3 kg and 0.8 kg, respectively. All other anthropometric parameters decreased significantly compared to those at the beginning of acupuncture. Conclusion: Acupuncture was useful for treatment for obesity in middle age women. Our standardized acupoints may be of clinical use for the application of acupuncture to patients.

Published: April 2018

Background: Renal microvascular disease and reduction in peritubular capillary flow are generally observed in type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN). Earlier therapeutic strategy with vasodilators has improved renal function in normo-albuminuric type 2 DN. Objective: Study the mechanism of vascular homeostasis in twenty patients associated with normo-albuminuric type 2 DN. Results: Angiogenic factors were observed in normo-albuminuric type 2 DN, where vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), was 420 ± 341 vs. 428±291 pg/mL (normal), and vascular endothelial growth factor - receptor 1 (VEGF-R1) was 60±12 vs. 49±5 ng/mL (normal), which were not significantly different from the controls. Anti-angiogenic factors were observed in normo-albuminuric type 2 DN, where angiopoietin-2, was 2309+1125 vs. 1671±835 pg/mL (normal), and vascular endothelial growth factor - receptor 2 (VEGF-R2) was 5715±1400 vs.6126 ±1060 ng/mL (normal), which were not significantly different from the controls. Conclusion: The mechanism of vascular homeostasis was adequately functional in normo-albuminuric type 2 DN. This mechanism may explain the positive response to vasodilators and improved renal function in early stage of type 2 DN following the vasodilator treatment.
On the Role of Tropospheric Circulation in Recent Climate Changes in the Antarctic Peninsula Region
Authors: Tymofeyev Vladislav E.
Published: April 2018

The state of tropospheric circulation in the West Antarctic sector (WAS) is considered during 1990s, the warmest decade in the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) region. Regional warming has progressed almost coherently with the second phase of global warming and is related to oceanic variability, specifically PDO-ENSO conditions. Atmospheric circulation in 1990s comprises a prevailing cyclogenesis west of the Antarctic Peninsula sector along with frequent weather modifications (the winter season in particular is examined) and the ridge of high pressure to the east. Predominant atmospheric circulation types for the recent decade are found to be stable in time causing smaller air temperature oscillations on different time scales. The circulation background responsible for the stabilization of air temperature growth in the AP region immediately after the turn of the millennium is shown.

Authors: Bartczak Arkadiusz , Brykała Dariusz , Cebulska Marta
Published: April 2018

The article presents the variability of precipitation based on the temporal oscillation model. Series of monthly precipitation totals from the years 1955-1980 were used for the analysis. The detailed research referred to the selected 10 measurement stations in central Poland and 17 in southern Poland. Data series from all the measurement stations were verified in terms of their statistical homogeneity. Furthermore, in accordance with the model guidelines, the tendency was assessed. This was followed by calculation of seasonal and accidental oscillations of precipitation. The results were used to present the variability of precipitation in the two areas studied. The measurement stations in southern Poland showed a much higher mean variation of seasonal oscillations of monthly precipitation. Accidental precipitation, however, is much more significant for the total variability of precipitation in southern Poland.

Published: April 2018

Macroscopic and laboratory tests of over 4-metre-thick organic deposits of Krzywopłoty profile (gyttjas and peat) allowed the authors to identify the development of the peatland as having four phases, each transition being associated with fluctuations in water level. Sediments from a depth of 3.75-0.65 m were also included in palynological testing. Seven local pollen assemblage zones show a continuous transformation in the plant landscape and surroundings of the site between the end of the Vistulian and the Holocene. Pollen data indicates a change of vegetation, from open communities of herbaceous plants and loose pine-birch communities in the Younger Dryas, then dense pine forests in the Preboreal chronozone, and finally multispecies forests in the Atlantic and Subboreal chronozones.

Basis Set Effects in the Description of the Cl-O Bond in ClO and XClO Isomers (X=H,O,Cl) Using DFT and CCSD(T) Methods
Authors: Ventura Oscar , Irving Kenneth , Kieninger Martina
Published: April 2018

The performance of a group of density functional methods of progressive complexity for the description of the ClO bond in a series of chlorine oxides was investigated. The simplest ClO radical species as well as the two isomeric structures XClO/ClOX for each X=H, Cl and O were studied using the PW91, TPSS, B3LYP, PBE0, M06, M06-2X, BMK and B2PLYP functionals. Geometry optimizations as well as reaction enthalpies and enthalpies of formation for each species were calculated using Pople basis sets and the (aug)-cc-pVnZ Dunning sets, with n=2-6. For the calculation of enthalpies of formation, atomization as well as isodesmic reactions were employed. Both the precision of the methods with respect to the increase of the basis sets, as well as their accuracy, were gauged by comparing the results with the more accurate CCSD(T) calculations, performed using the same basis sets as for the DFT methods. The results obtained employing composite chemical methods (G4, CBS-QB3 and W1BD) were also used for the comparisons, as well as the experimental results when they are available. The results obtained show that error compensation is the key for successful description of molecular properties (geometries and energies) by carefully selecting method and basis sets. In general, expansion of the one-electron basis set to the limit of completeness does not improve results at the DFT level, but just the opposite. The enthalpies of formation calculated at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV6Z for the species considered are generally in agreement with experimental determinations, and the most accurate derived theoretically up to present. Different sources of error in the calculations are discussed in detail.

The impact of tourism across the Taiwan Strait on the Taiwanese identity
Authors: Li Qianqian
Published: April 2018

Nowadays, the search for identity in Taiwan has been more significant today compared to the past because political parties have been attempting to use Taiwanese identity to impact the political loyalty, the democratization as well as language. Based on current situation of tourism cross-Straits, this paper respectively analyzes its economic value, political value as well as cultural value on Taiwanese identity.  This paper finds that due to a series of strategies adopted by Tsai’ government, tourism does not make a big difference in Taiwan’s economy, hence, the interdependence of tourism does not remarkably diminish Taiwanese identity from the perspective of economic value. Furthermore, according to the current perceptions of Taiwanese to Mainland tourists, tourism across Taiwan Strait makes slight influence on Taiwanese identity. Consequently, the current effect of using tourism as an economic lever to encourage political unification is extremely rough and tenuous. Besides,  to some extent, currently tourism is likely to produce greater social and cultural alienation among Taiwanese, which makes a contribution to boost Taiwanese identity. However, the result can be reverse with the current improvement of education and the quality of Chinese and admiration of China’s remarkable development.
Employment Change in Manufacturing Australia vs New Zealand 1987-1992
Authors: Willis Richard
Published: April 2018

It is clear that in New Zealand that most of the net job loss can be attributed to the decline in manufacturing employment. The release of the 1991 Business Activity Statistics showed that there was a total net job loss of 77,176 jobs between 1987 and 1992. Manufacturing contributed 60,649 or 78.6% of this net loss (Department of Statistics: 1992). In the light of this dramatic contraction of New Zealand's manufacturing employment in the last five years the purpose of this paper is to compare changes in manufacturing employment in the two countries against the different policy background and environments.

Collective Employment Contracts and New Working Time Arrangements in New Zealand
Authors: Harbridge Raymond , Tolich David
Published: April 2018

The research reported in this paper examines the impact in New Zealand of the liberalisation of the statutory regulation on working time in collective employment contract bargaining. Specifically this research reports working time arrangements that are changed in three areas. First the reduction (or extension) of the working week - thus decreasing (or increasing) the number of hours worked by full time workers. Second, the scheduling of the hours worked each week by full time workers. Here changes to the span of days available (and whether that span includes weekend days) and the span of hours available for ordinary work each day have been identified. Third, the application of overtime payments and the specific overtime rate has been examined.

Community Enterprise: What type of enterprise for what type of community?
Authors: Perry Martin
Published: April 2018

This paper examines Scottish experience, especially its community economic initiatives through the establishment of the Community Employment Group. Local authorities are also increasingly involved in promoting local economic initiatives. This activity has grown because of the urgent need to respond to rising unemployment but unless there is a clearer understanding of the types of initiatives that will work, well-intentioned efforts will be wasted. Much activity has been based on a mistaken impression of Scottish experience and especially the supposed success of community business. Moreover as we explain below, New Zealand is a less favourable for community business than Scotland. Community cooperatives and the community credit unions may well be better examples to build on. Before explaining these arguments, some discussion of the recent growth of community enterprise in New Zealand is needed.

South Africa’s Quest for Smart Cities: Privacy Concerns of Digital Natives of Cape Town, South Africa
Authors: Mujinga Tshiani Valerie , Tanner Maureen
Published: April 2018

Contribution: This study contributes to scientific literature by detailing the impact of specific factors on the privacy concerns of citizens living in an African city

Findings: The findings reveal that the more that impersonal data is collected by the Smart City of Cape Town, the lower the privacy concerns of the digital natives. The findings also show that the digital natives have higher privacy concerns when they express a strong need to be aware of the security measure put in place by the city.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Practitioners (i.e., policy makers) should ensure that it is a legal requirement to have security measures in place to protect the privacy of the citizens while collecting data within the smart city of Cape Town. These regulations should be made public to appease any apprehensions from its citizens towards smart city implementations. Less personal data should also be collected on the citizens.

Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should further investigate issues related to privacy concerns in the context of African developing countries. Such is the case since the population of these countries might have unique cultural and philosophical perspectives that might influence how they perceive privacy.

Impact on Society: Cities are becoming “smarter” and in developing world context like Africa, privacy issues might not have as a strong influence as is the case in the developing world.

Future Research: Further qualitative studies should be conducted to better understand issues related to perceived benefits, perceived control, awareness of how data is collected, and level of privacy concerns of digital natives in developing countries.

Authors: Zhang Qizhi
Published: April 2018

With the continuous development and progress of China's social economy, the construction speed of our construction industry is also accelerating. Compared with the traditional cast-in-place reinforced concrete and masonry building, it has been unable to meet the requirements of the construction industry and the development of the times. Because the prefabricated building has the advantages of fast speed, water saving, land saving, noise reduction, material saving and energy saving in installation. Compared with traditional buildings, the prefabricated building is more energy efficient and practical. Therefore, the new type of precast assembly architecture is constantly highlighted and has become the mainstream of the development of the future construction industry. However, the technology started late in China, and the immature technology and imperfect supporting standards led to slow progress and even stagnation in China's construction industry. Through the analysis of the present situation and problems of the waterproof and sealing of the prefabricated building exterior walls, the suggestions for the healthy development of the construction industry in China are put forward in time.
