Distribución del polimorfismos Gly185Cys del gen APOA5 en una población de profesores la Universidad de Santander UDES
Authors: Pérez Forero Viviana Lucia , Ochoa Victor Hugo , Gil Zapata Adriana María , Pico Romero Adriana Lucia
Published: August 2018

Introducción: La genotipificación de los polimorfismos Gly185Cys del gen APOA5, permitirá evaluar si el gen se encuentra en equilibrio de Hardy Weinberg en la población estudiada. De esta manera se podrá validar posteriormente los posibles hallazgos de asociación de este polimorfismo, con la presencia de desarrollo de Síndrome Metabólico (SM) o de los criterios para el diagnóstico de esta patología, ampliando así el conocimiento sobre el posible riesgo de presentar esta enfermedad. Esta información será de utilidad para el programa de Estilos de Vida Saludable en el cual se podrán diseñar e implementar estrategias que disminuyan el efecto de los factores medioambientales desencadenantes de esta condición, disminuyendo así la tasa de morbilidad asociada con los criterios de diagnóstico de SM. Objetivo: Estimar las frecuencias alélicas, genotípicas y haplotípicas de los polimorfismos Gly185Cys del Gen APOA5, en una población de la Universidad de Santander UDES. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un Estudio transversal con un total de 100 individuos. Se extrajo ADN con kit PrepFiler Forensic DNA® y amplificación por PCR multiplex. La identificación de las mutaciones de un solo nucleótido se realizó por medio de minisecuenciación empleando la metodología de SNaPshot. Los productos fueron analizados con el secuenciador ABI 310 empleando el software GeneMapper I.D.v 3.2. Los datos obtenidos fueron analizados con el software Arlequín® 3 y Stata. Resultados y conclusiones: Los análisis incluyeron el cálculo de las frecuencias alélicas, fenotípicas y haplotípicas de cada uno de los polimorfismos, así como el análisis del equilibrio de Hardy-Weinberg.
Estudio de prevalencia de Cystoisosporosis porcina en Venezuela
Authors: Pinilla Juan Carlos , Da Silva Natalia
Published: August 2018

Introducción: La Cystoisosporosis porcina es una enfermedad intestinal causada por Cystoisospora suis, protozoario del Phylum Apicomplexa, clase coccidia, que afecta principalmente lechones lactantes. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de Cystoisospora suis en granjas porcinas intensivas ubicadas en la región central de Venezuela. Materiales y métodos: Durante el año 2016 se examinaron 67 granjas con antecedentes de diarrea neonatal. Para la determinación parasitaria se seleccionaron 572 camadas, así como, 1.712 muestras fecales de cerdos adultos. Todas las muestras se cultivaron en dicromato de potasio al 2,5% y fueron procesadas con una técnica copro-parasitológica. Resultados: C. suis se encontró en 55 granjas (82,1%) y 210 camadas (36,7%), con los mayores valores de prevalencia en las dos primeras semanas de vida (P < 0,05). Al referir los resultados en cerdos adultos se encontró correlación significativa (rho = 0,35; P < 0,05) entre excreción de ooquistes en lechones y madres, lo que sugiere que cerdas madres podrían actuar como fuentes de infección. El número de partos de la cerda se encontró estadísticamente correlacionado con los valores de prevalencia en camadas y cerdas lactantes (P < 0,05), lo que indica que, a mayor número de partos, disminuye la prevalencia. Probablemente estos hallazgos están asociados con mecanismos inmunológicos aún sin dilucidar. Conclusión: C. suis se encuentra ampliamente distribuida en Venezuela y que pudiera ser controlada mejorando las condiciones higiénicas de las granjas, sin embargo, mecanismos inmunológicos aún sin dilucidar podrían estar involucrados en la cadena de transmisión del protozoario.
¿Qué de lacan es saussureano? Algunas precisiones y desmitificaciones
Authors: Fernández Ana Maria
Published: August 2018

Durante el siglo XX se realizó una lectura de Saussure acentuándola como la matriz del estructuralismo y que favoreció una doctrina formalista que excluía al “sujeto hablante”. Con la aparición de las notas manuscritas se desprende que Saussure buscó pensar el carácter intrínseco de la variación en todo sistema lingüístico y el sentido mismo de la lógica de ese sistema, a la vez que surge un signo de naturaleza inestable y la lengua como un espacio puramente exterior que no cesa de devenir otro que él mismo. Lacan se apoyó en Saussure para formalizar su simbólico y su significante, sin embargo hay que tener presente que para el psicoanálisis el significante está sumergido en la hipótesis del inconsciente. Entonces, ¿qué filiación es posible encontrar entre el signo saussureano y el significante lacaniano?
Masculino e feminino? A categoria gramatical de gênero e a teoria do valor
Authors: Silveira Jane Ramos
Published: August 2018

Este artículo surgió concomitantemente con nuestra investigación de doctorado, en el cual procuramos reflexionar sobre la cuestión de la diferencia sexual en la trayectoria del niño por el lenguaje. En este estudio, en el análisis de episodios de habla que apuntan el trabajo de elaboración psíquica del niño en la sustentación de una posición sexuada, el género gramatical comparece de manera insólita, dando a ver, en el funcionamiento de la lengua, el modo cómo la diferencia sexual es concebida por el niño, en ese momento del proceso de subjetivación. Así, en la perspectiva abierta por el tema saussuriano,El legado de Ferdinand de Saussure sobre la subjetividad y lenguaje, pretendemos, en este artículo, reflexionar sobre la teoría del valor y sus efectos en relación a la categoría gramatical, en especial sobre la distinción gramatical de masculino y femenino. Así, comenzaremos por apuntar la distinción entre valor y significación y para la aproximación entre unidad y hecho gramatical, teniendo como referencia los estudios de F. Saussure, R. Jakobson, J. Hjelmslev y A. Meillet. Al final, al discurrir sobre el sujeto hablante, apuntaremos, mismo que de forma breve, hacia la hipótesis que se articula a nuestro estudio en adquisición de lenguaje, que la diferencia sexual está, por definición, en el vacío que se le escapa al sujeto.
O enseñanza, lengua materna, condición de hablante
Authors: Corsaro Susana Colombo
Published: August 2018

El trabajo intenta explorar las relaciones entre los términos del título, en el marco de la Teoría del Acontecimiento Didáctico. Comienza con la evocación de los conceptos saussurianos de lengua, lenguaje y habla tomados del Curso de Lingüística General para establecer una base sobre la cual desarrollar otras conceptualizaciones tomadas de la Teoría referida, la que destaca que la enseñanza es un acto de habla fundamentalmente. La estrategia para presentar las interrogantes que esas nociones hacen surgir consiste en ir analizando sucesivamente las que conforman el núcleo de la Teoría, contrastándolas con las elaboraciones psicologistas que sustentan las prácticas habituales de enseñanza. Se examinan la noción de lo didáctico como materialidad; la caracterización del acontecimiento didáctico como noción que se sustenta en Pêcheux (1988); la naturaleza de la enseñanza, que impone una doble dimensión en todo acto de enseñanza: de estabilidad y de equívoco, asociadas a la propia naturaleza del lenguaje; por último, la teoría de enseñanza implicada en la T. del Acontecimiento Didáctico, centrada en la dialéctica saber –conocimiento que habilitan las nociones psicoanalíticas de sujeto barrado y de intersubjetividad. A continuación se analiza la función de la escuela como homogeneizador lingüístico, particularmente en contextos en que la lengua se constituye en obstáculo para el éxito de la enseñanza, ejemplificándose con la situación del aula en la zona fronteriza con Brasil. En función de las teorizaciones examinadas, se problematizan los efectos que puede tener el enseñar en español a los alumnos monolingües en DPU (Dialectos Portugueses del Uruguay). Como insumo para estas reflexiones se toma la noción de condición de hablante postulada por Behares (2006) como una dimensión de conflicto lingüístico relacionada con los espacios de “identificación” a los que está expuesto el sujeto de lenguaje en tanto que hablante. Por último, se plantean interrogantes sobre los efectos del cambio de lengua producido por la escuela en la ‘condición de hablante’ de los alumnos monolingües en DPU y de los docentes que también fueron, en principio, hablantes monolingües del portugués uruguayo o DPU, así como sobre el acontecimiento didáctico.

Tópicos contrastivos e contraste temático: um estudo do papel discursivo da “articulação informacional”
Authors: Menuzzi Sérgio de Moura , Roisemberg Gabriel
Published: August 2018

Neste artigo, discutimos o impacto da articulação informacional da sentença na organização do discurso. Em particular, investigamos o importe informacional das construções de tópico constrastivo sob o prisma de duas teorias formais da estrutura do discurso: Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT; ASHER; LASCARIDES, 2003) e Questions Under Discussion (QUD; ROBERTS, 1996; BÜRING, 2003). Para a primeira teoria, as relações discursivas que compõem o discurso – como “paralelo”, “contraste”, etc. – são primitivos sujeitos a diferentes condições contextuais; para a última, por outro lado, a estrutura discursiva é um subproduto do componente informacional presente nas sentenças, que desencadeia um conjunto de “perguntas implícitas” que, em última análise, estruturam o discurso. Nossa conclusão é a de que o arcabouço teórico oferecido pela QUD é mais adequado do que o da SDRT para dar conta do uso das construções de tópico contrastivo em discursos conexos – ainda que a QUD também precise de certas modificações. Mais especificamente, mostramos que a vantagem da QUD sobre a SDRT está precisamente na conexão intrínseca que tal teoria estabelece entre a estrutura informacional da sentença e a estrutura do discurso.

Ambivalensi Dakwah dan Ambisi Politik (Membaca Sisi Tak Terbaca pada Gerakan Dakwah Mahasiswa Pembebasan)
Authors: Lufaefi Lufaefi
Published: August 2018

Dakwah adalah ajaran yang sangat sakral di dalam Islam. Keberadaannya menjadi penentu lanjut atau tidaknya risalah kenabian. Akan tetapi dakwah di masa kini sering tidak diindahkan, karena ada sebagian kelompok yang menjadikan dakwah sebagai kendaraan untuk memuaskan ambisi politiknya. Dakwah tidak jarang diwujudkan dengan politisasi agama guna melampiaskan nafsu duniawi. Sehingga berbagai cara dilakukan guna menjalankan roda dakwah, walaupun dengan cara-cara kekerasan. Sebagian kelompok yang memiliki ambisi berdakwah ialah Gerakan Mahasiswa Pembebasan. Dakwah bagi kelompok ini adalah untuk menggantikan sistem demokrasi dengan sistem khilafah islamiyah. Sehingga ambiguitas dan ambivalensitas antar dakwah dan ambisi politik tak dapat dibedakan. GEMA Pembebasan mengaku gerakan dakwah tetapi lokomotifnya adalah politik.

Veliky Ustyug – the Center of Artistic Culture of the Russian North of the 13th–18th Centuries
Authors: Рыбаков Александр , Rybakov Alexander
Published: August 2018

The paper gives a brief review of the architectural and artistic heritage of Veliky Ustyug – one of the leading regional centers of historical artistic culture of the Russian North. Throughout the 13th–18th centuries, wooden and stone architecture, painting, woodcarving, birch-bark and metal arts, weaving and other folk arts reached a high level of progress here. Because of the active dedicated work of Ustyug intelligentsia – historians, artists, museum staff and teachers of the first half of the 20th century – the city still has a great number of survived monuments of architecture, painting, woodcarving, silver art and works of other arts that constitute an important part of Russian cultural heritage. The ensembles of tall Ustyug iconostases of the 17th–18th centuries made by both local and guest artisans are of special historical and artistic interest.
Interrelation between Conscious Self-Adjustment, Motivation and Personality Dispositions, and Performance of Schoolchildren
Authors: Моросанова Варвара , Morosanova Varvara , Фомина Татьяна , Fomina Tatyana , Ованесбекова Маргарита , Ovanesbekova Margarita
Published: August 2018

The paper discusses the relevant study of age-related specifics of interrelation between conscious self-adjustment (SA) of learning activities, motivation and personality dispositions, and academic performance of learners. It presents empiric data about the specifics of the considered interrelation for schoolchildren of grades 6 through 11 (N=606) based on the analysis of age groups. The results show that SA is associated with academic performance of schoolchildren from grades 7–8 and 9–11 to a greater extent. Complication of the learning activities, expanded tasks, which schoolchildren must solve at the older learning stages, make SA demanded and actual as a resource helping to achieve learning targets. The correlation analysis of indicators of academic motivation and performance showed that success was primarily associated with the productive types of inner motivation, specifically motivation of achievement and motivation of self-development; it should be noted that schoolchildren from grades 7–8 and 9–11 have a greater number of these ties. Among personality dispositions, a sustained positive relation was recorded for “Openness to experience” factor.

In the context of psychological factors of academic performance, this research has a great practical importance, that is, the substantiation of application of technologies for development of the conscious self-adjustment in learners as a mega resource in achievement of learning targets and means of integration and mobilization of individual motivational and personality features.
Awarded with Eternity: Specifics of the Burial Practices in the Ancient Cultures of the Pacific Region at the Turn of the Eras
Authors: Табарев Андрей , Tabarev Andrey
Published: August 2018

The paper deals with various aspects of the complex academic issue of studying the culture genesis in the Pacific Region based on the archeological data. Periods of strong cultural surges, milestones in the development of technologies and economy, crucial events in economy and social domain are of acute interest within the scope of the outlined problem. Such periods include the era turn (the 2nd century BC – 3–4th centuries AD), i. e. “The time of great leaders and stone tombs”. The research focuses on two regions – the southern part of the Japanese Archipelago (Kyushu, Ryukyu and Okinawa islands) and the tropical zone of the Pacific coast of America (from Western Mexico to the northern Chile) – and to individual parts of the South-Eastern Asia (the Philippines, Indonesia). The findings obtained in the course of the research confirm the hypothesis about similar formation scenarios of the tribal elite and accompanying components of architecture, arts and commerce in objects of “prestigious technologies” in the ancient cultures of the tropical and subtropical zones of the Pacific Region.
Cyclic Economic Dynamics and Deflationary Phenomena: Analysis and Forecasts
Authors: Гринберг Руслан , Grinberg Ruslan , Гринин Леонид , Grinin Leonid , Коротаев Андрей , Korotaev Andrey
Published: August 2018

The modern deflationary phenomena in the western and global economy are attributed to the fact that currently it is at the downward phase of the fifth long K-wave. Deflation has always been typical for the depressive periods in economy; presently it also manifests itself as the world economy has turned global, yet it lacks any control mechanisms. The authors suppose that a new economic crisis will break out in the western economy in the second half of 2018–2019 and that the depressive and deflationary trends will continue for another number of years.

Authors: Каранина Елена , Karanina Elena , Рязанова Олеся , Ryazanova Olesya
Published: August 2018

The paper shows the place and role of businesses in the system of economic security of the regions. It examines various approaches to the definition of “economic security of small businesses”. It presents the main factors and threats to the businesses in the regions and the authors’ system of core indicators measuring the economic security of regional businesses developed on its basis. It suggests how to diagnose and monitor risks as well as rank the economic security of regional businesses.

The monitoring procedure for the economic security of regional businesses based on the risk-focused approach features five inter-connected stages that include the collection of data about enterprises and calculation of required indicators; formation of the system of indicators deemed risk factors; processing of indicators; construction of the integral model of potential and risk assessment; assessment of the overall level of economic security of regional businesses and making managerial decisions in development and support of small businesses at the regional scale.
Scientific Research Efficiency
Authors: Шиповалова Лада , Shipovalova Lada
Published: August 2018

The paper reveals the issue of the scientific research efficiency, which is in the center of modern scientific and philosophical debates. This problem is interpreted as a contradiction between efficiency and autonomy – the two significant features of academic research. This contradiction became urgent in the second half of the 20th century and is expressed in the crisis of institutional interactions or a clash of interests between academia and its governing stakeholders. The paper provides a brief description of the historical prerequisites of this contradiction, obtains insights into the modern crisis and outlines possible ways out. As a conclusion, it emphasizes that the issue of academic efficiency may be solved through a new system of adequate representation of scientific research that would also act as a metric of academic efficiency, thus aligning the targets of various entities engaged in the academic activities. The crucial preconditions for this system in Russia are the formation of a consolidated academia and aligned targets of the academic policy.
Segmentation of Spontaneous Speech and Individuality of the Expert
Authors: Степихов Антон , Stepikhov Anton
Published: August 2018

The paper focuses on the findings of the psycholinguistic tests with German and Russian spontaneous speech in order to detect possible interrelations between the nature of division of spontaneous speech into sentences (their average length) and individual specifics of the expert who carries out this division. The kit of stimulating material consisted of the text part subject to the expert segmentation and the text part that included a five-factor personality questionnaire, information processing speed tests and two tests connected with the working memory capacity. The segmentation was conducted on the basis of the text information alone, without any reliance on the sound. Despite the research hypothesis, the capacity of the expert’s working memory demonstrated no connection with the average sentence length in either Russian or German. The information processing rate also had no effect on the sentence length. Nevertheless, it was established that during annotation of the German spontaneous speech, significant impact on the sentence length was made by the level of neuroticism, that is, experts with a higher score (more emotional) had a tendency to break the text into shorter statements. Using the material of the Russian language, the interrelation between the average sentence length and the “self-control – impulsiveness” proved statistically significant – that is, experts more prone to the self-regulation of their behavior tended to divide the text into longer sentences. The analysis of the sentence length revealed statistically significant correlations (from moderate to strong) in the average sentence length in diverse texts as they were marked by the same expert; notably, this phenomenon was observed on the material of both the German and Russian languages. This fact evidences that the sentence length is individual for each expert and remains stable regardless of external factors, such as the language or the text type.

An Analysis of Grammatical Errors in Writing Recount Text at the Eighth Grade of SMP Negeri 20 Kota Jambi
Authors: Asni Selvia Lisa , Susanti Susi , Sulistiyo Urip
Published: August 2018

This study aims to analyze and classify the types or mistakes of students using simple past tense in writing text recount. In addition, this study also aims to determine the cause of errors made by the students using simple past tense in writing text recount,

This research used qualitative methods. Meanwhile, the research design used is case study. Furthermore, the writer chose the 8th grade students and observed 26 students. The writer used a written test and interviews to gain the data from some students and an English teacher.

Based on this research, it is found that students do all kinds of errors (omission, addition, selection and misordering). The type of error most often done by the students was omission error with 166 errors or 38.97%. The second position was a selection error with 162 errors or 38.03%. The third position was the addition error with 67 errors or 15.73%. Then the last position was misordering error with 31 errors or 7.28%. In addition, the errors were caused by the complexity of the English system itself and not because of the influence of the Indonesian system (intralingual transfer). Moreover, students lacked of understanding of the grammar that became the cause of the error. In this study, most students did not understand verb 1,2,3 as well as the proper use if “be” in a sentence. This suggested that students had difficulty with the use of grammar in writing
HISTORY NOTEBOOK
Authors: Patti Fraser  , Flick Harrison
Published: August 2018

The question: whom do you walk with? Was put to me as a way to reflect on the history of my practice as a community engaged artist over the last part of the twentieth century living on the west coast of Canada. This interactive research space is an attempt to respond to an alternative notion of history and the influences on this art form over the course of thirty years. It also seeks to acknowledge the communities of people this art practice allied itself with. These people and their communities often lived outside and beyond the margins of the national narrative of history and its parade.

It is my hope this site offers a pedagogical space that invites students, researchers, educators, artists, and others to consider the questions that populate and characterize socially engaged arts practice and arts based research. The author’s reflections and writings captured at the roots of this reflection range from videos, poetic inquiry, reports, and scholarly essays on the nature of my experience of working in this field.
An improved three-step method for solving the interval linear programming problems
Authors: Allahdadi Mehdi , Deng Chongyang
Published: August 2018

Feasibility condition, which ensures that the solution space does not violate any constraints, and optimality condition, which guarantees that all points of the solution space are optimal, are very significant conditions for the solution space of interval linear programming (ILP) problems. Among the existing methods for ILP problems, the best-worst cases (BWC) method and two-step method (TSM) do not ensure feasibility condition, while the modified ILP (MILP), robust TSM (RTSM), improved TSM (ITSM), and three-step method (ThSM) guarantee feasibility condition, whose solution spaces may not be completely optimal. We propose an improved ThSM (IThSM) for ILP problems, which ensures both feasibility and optimality conditions, i.e., we introduce an extra step to optimality.

Avaliação da ocorrência do sinal de golf ball em ultrassonografia morfológica e sua relação com a idade materna e outras alterações congênitas
Authors: Trovo Bruno Alan Goulart , Schleich Igor Scudler , Amaral Valeria Do
Published: August 2018

Introdução: O foco ecogênico intracardíaco, ou sinal de golf ball, é um achado ultrassonográfico bastante comum e sem repercussões para a saúde do feto, exceto quando coexistem achados anormais no exame ou fatores maternos, situação em que pode ser necessária uma investigação mais detalhada. Objetivo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo geral identificar a prevalência do sinal de golf ball isoladamente ou associado a outras malformações congênitas, bem como estabelecer sua possível relação com a idade materna. Método: Constitui em um estudo quantitativo, retrospectivo e observacional de todos os laudos emitidos no período de janeiro a junho de 2015 de gestantes que procuraram atendimento no Instituto de Imagem Maringá (que atende a cidade de Maringá, no Paraná, e região). Os resultados foram submetidos à análise estatística, com a coletagem de números absolutos, percentuais e proporções, representados em forma de tabelas e gráficos. Resultados: Dos 680 fetos avaliados, 81 possuíam o sinal de golf ball (11,91%), tendo uma prevalência de 11,67% em gestantes com menos de 35 anos e 12,85% em gestantes com mais de 35 anos. A presença do sinal de golf ball não influenciou maior positividade de outras alterações congênitas. Conclusão: A prevalência do sinal de golf ball na população estudada foi de acordo com o predito pela literatura: a idade materna não possui influência no seu surgimento, ele não aumenta o risco ou é influenciado pela presença de outras alterações congênitas.

Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, com busca nas seguintes bases de dados: Literatura Latino- Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Sistema Online de Busca e Análise de Literatura Médica (MEDLINE) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) com as palavras-chave em Oncologia, Farmacêutico e Atenção farmacêutica, em português e inglês. Foram incluídos estudos sobre a temática, publicados em inglês, português ou espanhol, em formato de artigos, revisões, dissertações e teses publicados entre 2009 e 2015. Foram excluídas as publicações de anos anteriores e com duplicidade. Resultados: Foi observado que o cuidado farmacêutico está imerso na terapia medicamentosa, em tomadas de decisões sobre o uso adequado de medicamentos para cada paciente oncológico. Além disso, a realização de orientações e supervisões nos procedimentos de manipulação dos antineoplásicos e a atuação da equipe multiprofissional acompanhando diariamente o trabalho feito e buscando agregar seus conhecimentos farmacológicos são atividades essenciais nesse âmbito. Na farmacovigilância, o farmacêutico previne as reações adversas a medicamentos, dada a alta ocorrência em pacientes sob terapia quimioterápica. Conclusão: Dessa forma, o cuidado farmacêutico garante que o tratamento antineoplásico seja desenvolvido com qualidade e segurança, evidenciando a qualidade de vida do paciente oncológico.
Indicateurs pour orienter l'action visant l’équité en matière de santé dans les organismes locaux de santé publique : le programme Projets locaux en Ontario
Authors: Cohen Benita , Salter Katherine , Kothari Anita , Janzen Le Ber Marlene , Lemieux Suzanne , Moran Kathy , Wai Caroline , Antonello Deborah , Robson Jordan , Salvaterra Rosana
Published: August 2018

Introduction

Grâce au programme Projet locaux financé par Santé publique Ontario, une
équipe de professionnels de la santé publique a entrepris de concevoir et de tester un
ensemble d’indicateurs afin d'orienter l'action visant l’équité en matière de santé au sein
des organismes locaux de santé publique (OLSP).

Méthodologie

Le projet a démarré avec un examen de la portée de la littérature, la consultation
d'experts sur le sujet et l’élaboration d’un ensemble d’indicateurs de validité
apparente conforme aux quatre mandats de la santé publique visant à réduire les inégalités
en matière de santé (CCNDS, 2014) auxquels on a ajouté un cinquième ensemble
d’indicateurs relatifs au mandat de perfectionnement organisationnel et systémique. Nous
rendons compte ici des tests de terrain portant sur la faisabilité, sur la validité apparente
(clarté et pertinence), sur la fiabilité et sur la comparabilité de ces indicateurs dans quatre
OLSP de l’Ontario. Les données ont été recueillies par deux personnes ou groupes différents
dans chaque site et en deux périodes. Ces personnes ont participé à des groupes
de discussion à la fin de chaque période d’essai, ce qui a permis pour chaque indicateur
un examen approfondi de sa clarté, de la disponibilité des sources de données associées et
de sa pertinence. Un troisième groupe de discussion a étudié l'utilisation qui pourrait être
faite de ces indicateurs.

Résultats

Les essais de terrain ont montré que les indicateurs ont contribué à résoudre
des questions importantes en lien avec tous les mandats en santé publique. Bien que les
indicateurs ne possèdent pas tous la même utilité, les sites d’essai les ont tous jugés
utiles. Diverses recommandations en matière de clarté ont été suivies pour améliorer
l'ensemble final d’indicateurs et pour élaborer un guide d’utilisation des indicateurs
d’équité en santé offrant des renseignements généraux et des suggestions de ressources.

Conclusion

Le processus d’évaluation des activités liées à l’équité en matière de santé
dans les OLSP n’en est qu’à ses débuts. Ce projet fournit aux OLSP de l’Ontario un outil
d'orientation pour leur travail visant l’équité en matière de santé, outil qui pourrait être
adapté aux autres provinces et territoires du Canada.
Effectiveness of the CANRISK tool in the identification of dysglycemia in a Canadian South Asian Population
Authors: Agarwal Gina , Jiang Ying , Lemieux Chantal , Rogers Van Katwyk Susan , Mao Yang , Orpana Heather , Fong Maylene , Morrison Howard
Published: August 2018

Introduction

South Asians have a higher than average risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
We ascertained the effectiveness of CANRISK, an existing diabetes risk assessment
tool, examining its sensitivity and specificity at two different predetermined scoring
cut-off points comparing those participants under the age of 40 and those 40 and over.
We examined the predictive ability of a model based on CANRISK variables, comparing
ethno-specific body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) cut-off points with
the original BMI and WC cut-off points to see if predictive ability could be improved for
this population.

Methods

Canadian South Asians of unknown diabetes status, age 18 to 78, were
recruited across seven provinces from various community or health centers. CANRISK
variables were collected followed by oral glucose tolerance testing. Descriptive analysis,
logistic regression including alternative ethno-specific BMI and WC cut-off points, and
sensitivity and specificity analyses were performed.

Results

832 participants were recruited (584 under age 40). Using the entire study
sample, logistic regression models including CANRISK variables predicted dysglycemia
effectively (AUC of 0.80). However, by using alternative BMI/WC cut-off points with the
scoring algorithm, predictive power via AUC was not improved. Sensitivity and specificity
of CANRISK using the original pre-determined “high risk” cut-off point of 33 points
in individuals age 40 years or over were 93% and 35%, respectively; in individuals
under 40, these were 33% and 92%, respectively. Using the lower pre-determined
“moderate risk” cut-off point of 21 points improved the sensitivity to 77% and specificity
to 53% in the younger age group.

Conclusion

The existing CANRISK is an adequate risk assessment tool for dysglycemia
in Canadian South Asians for those age 40 years and over; however, the tool does
not work as well for individuals under 40. The lower cut-off of 21 points may be warranted
for younger individuals to minimize false negatives. Ethno-specific BMI/WC cutoff
points did not improve predictive ability of the CANRISK scoring algorithm as
measured by AUC.

Le suicide est un enjeu majeur de santé publique au Canada. Si les facteurs individuels et
démographiques influent sur le taux de suicide, la qualité des services de santé a également
un impact. Dans un système public de soins comme celui du Canada ou celui du
Royaume-Uni, la qualité des soins se manifeste à trois niveaux : individuel, programmatique
et systémique. L'examen des suicides sert à évaluer les services de santé quant au
décès par suicide et, au niveau agrégé, à évaluer ces services à l’échelle des programmes
et du système.

Les grandes bases de données médico-administratives constituent une autre source de
données utile à la prise de décisions sur l’ensemble de la population à l’échelle systémique,
programmatique et individuelle et portant sur les services en santé mentale susceptibles
d'avoir une influence sur le risque de suicide. Cet article décrit un projet mené à
l’Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) utilisant le Système intégré de
surveillance des maladies chroniques du Québec (SISMACQ), en collaboration avec des
collègues du pays de Galles (Royaume-Uni) et de l’Institut norvégien de santé publique.

Cette étude décrit l’élaboration d’indicateurs de la qualité des soins à ces trois niveaux et
les stratégies connexes d’analyse statistique. Nous proposons 13 indicateurs de soins de
santé pouvant être créés à partir d’un système de surveillance des maladies chroniques :
déterminant systémique, déterminants démographiques, soins primaires, soins spécialisés,
équilibre entre les secteurs de soins, consultation à l’urgence et budgets en santé
mentale et toxicomanie.
Problematizações acerca da imagem enquanto conhecimento da natureza.
Authors: Fortes Hugo
Published: August 2018

Este artigo investiga as maneiras como a imagem foi compreendida como forma de conhecimento do mundo natural ao longo da história da arte. Inicialmente são apresentados os conceitos de mimesis, natureza naturante, natureza naturada. São discutidas as relações entre natureza e cultura e a ideia da imagem como representação fidedigna do mundo em contraposição à expressão emocional do artista. Também são apresentadas as modificações nos regimes imagéticos com o surgimento da fotografia, do cinema e da imagem eletrônica. Ao final, destacam-se as alterações visuais provocadas pelo homem na paisagem, discutindo o papel da arte no debate ecológico contemporâneo.
Mente, consciência e imagem: contribuições de Steven Mithen e David Lewis-Williams para a compreensão da origem das imagens.
Authors: Viviani Ana Elisa Antunes
Published: August 2018

O objetivo deste texto é abordar como os conceitos de mente e consciência tratados, respectivamente, por Steven Mithen e David Lewis-Williams formam a base para suas hipóteses sobre as origens das imagens e o surgimento do pensamento simbólico no Homo sapiens. Os autores recorrem às ciências da psicologia e neurociência para apoiá-los em suas investigações. Enquanto a argumentação de Steven Mithen é sustentada pelas hipóteses de que a mente humana opera por fluxos cognitivos e de que a ontogenia recapitula a filogenia, a argumentação de Lewis-Williams apoia-se na ideia de que as imagens são originadas por estados alterados de consciência, condição possibilitada porque o humano moderno possui uma consciência de alta ordem.
GNSS-Condition Impacts on Land Boundary Coordinates and Land Area Determination
Authors: Pavlovčič Polona
Published: August 2018

Background: Determining the location, boundaries and areas of land properties accurately in the land cadastre is essential. The named data are provided using coordinates, acquired from field measurements. Since 2008, the Slovenian land cadastre claims positioning in the national realization of the ETRS89, so the GNSS use is practically indispensable. Objectives: Contrary to real-time, we can change parameters in GNSS post-processing. The aim of this paper is to simulate different measurement conditions for GNSS in order to determine how to acquire the best possible coordinates for further use in land area calculation. Methods/Approach: Simulations of obstacles near points followed the increasing of the cut-off angle. Furthermore, shortening the observation interval resulted in different occupation duration. The final condition evaluation for coordinate quality acquisition followed from fuzzy logic. Results: The results show that for short baselines, occupation duration is the most important factor in acquiring high quality coordinates and avoiding the multipath. Differences in coordinates from specific strategies can sometimes exceed the tolerance and evidently affect the area calculation. Conclusions: The findings confirm that only good measurement conditions lead to high quality coordinates and well-defined areas of land properties, which are the fundamental factor in relation to the issues of property valuation and assessing land taxes or rents
Mineralogical and morphological studies of gold-bearing arsenopyrite and pyrite minerals of Bakyrchik and Bolshevik gold black shale deposits (Eastern Kazakhstan)
Authors: Junussov Medet , Umarbekova Zamzagul
Published: August 2018

Bakyrchik and Bolshevik both are sediment-hosted disseminated gold deposits. They are located in Eastern Kazakhstan (4 km in distance between deposits) and include in the Western Qalba metallogenic zone. They originated in late Paleozoic age along structured line between palaeocontinents of Kazakhstan and Altai-Mongol.

The purpose of this paper is designation of typomorphic features of gold-bearing arsenopyrite and pyrite minerals, determination of chemical composition of these two sulfides minerals. The arsenopyrite and pyrite are the main objects for analytical study of gold-bearing sulfide minerals, their different textures, morphology of the crystals and aggregates. The studies of ore samples and minerals were carried out by methods of optical microscope, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and electron microprobe analyses. The analytical study of sulphide minerals has shown that the arsenopyrite is acicular and tabular, pyrite has three varieties - globular, hexahedral and pentahedral forms in three rock samples of the carbonaceous-terrigenous formation in the deposits.
Petrogenetic and Compositional Features of Rare Metal Pan-African Post-Collisional Pegmatites of Southwestern Nigeria; A Status Review

Published: August 2018

This research reviews the geology, petrogenesis, compositional trends and geochronology of the rare-metal pegmatite of southwestern Nigeria. The source of these pegmatites is still presently debated which have been explained as either product of highly fractionated molten material or anatexis of the local crust. However, published works of past authors have been compiled to give a detailed understanding of the formation of the mineral deposits.

The basement complex of southwestern Nigeria comprises of Precambrian rocks of amphibolite, the hornblende gneiss and the granite gneisses which were formed as a result of the opening and closing of the ensialic basin with significant, extensive subduction during the Pan-African orogeny. The pegmatites in this region have shown internal zoning and a high degree of evolution from the border zone to the core zone during the crystallization and solidification of the felsic granite to pegmatite melt.

The rare-metal pegmatites have distinct chemical compositions and mineralogy, containing quartz, biotite, muscovite, microcline, garnet with localized tourmaline, tantalite and columbite. These pegmatites vary significantly by their bulk-rock and mineral chemistry which indicates a more peraluminous attribute and enrichments of lithophile elements of Rb, Cs, Ta and Ba. Previous K/Ar isotopic ages (502.8±13.0 Ma and 514.5±13.2 Ma) suggest that the pegmatites are related to the post-collisional phase of intensive metasomatism. Adopted from previous studies, a five-stage conceptual model of evolution which is widely accepted have been proposed for the origin of the pegmatites.
Fubini’s Theorem for Non-Negative or Non-Positive Functions
Authors: Endou Noboru
Published: August 2018

The goal of this article is to show Fubini’s theorem for non-negative or non-positive measurable functions [10], [2], [3], using the Mizar system [1], [9]. We formalized Fubini’s theorem in our previous article [5], but in that case we showed the Fubini’s theorem for measurable sets and it was not enough as the integral does not appear explicitly.

On the other hand, the theorems obtained in this paper are more general and it can be easily extended to a general integrable function. Furthermore, it also can be easy to extend to functional space Lp
[12]. It should be mentioned also that Hölzl and Heller [11] have introduced the Lebesgue integration theory in Isabelle/HOL and have proved Fubini’s theorem there.

A survey of entomopathogenic nematodes was conducted in Croatia between 2016 and 2017. The steinernematids were recovered in two out of 100 soil samples from agricultural land characterized as loamy soils with acidic reaction. Molecular and morphological identification was used to distinguish the nematodes. The isolates were identified as two different strains conspecific with Steinernema feltiae. The variations in morphometrical characteristics of infective juveniles (IJs) and males were observed among Croatian strains and with the original description. The analysis of ITS region revealed the greatest similarity of Croatian strains with Slovenian B30 and English A2 strains, which together comprised a monophyletic group in evolutionary analysis. This is the first record of steinernematids, namely S. feltiae in Croatia.

Published: August 2018

A faunistic complex of chalcidoid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) associated with cynipids and cecidomyids (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae; Diptera: Cecydomyiidae) inhabiting capsules of the annual weed Papaver rhoeas L. (corn poppy) was recorded in Amynteo, Northern Greece (2012) and Orchomenos, Voeotia, Central Greece (2013). The parasitoids are Idiomacromerus papaveris (Forster, 1856), Idiomacromerus sp., Pseudotorymus papaveris (Thomson, 1876) (Torymidae), Aprostocetus epicharmus Walker, 1839 (Eulophidae), and Cyrtoptyx sp. (Pteromalidae). Aprostocetus epicharmus was recorded only in Amynteo while Idiomacromerus spp. and Cyrtoptyx sp. only in Voeotia. This is the first record of these parasitoid species in corn poppy capsules in Greece. All parasitoids except the eulophid, which probably parasitizes Cecydomyiidae, are most likely parasitoids of Aylax papaveris (Perris, 1840) (Cynipidae)
