Urban Road Crashes and Weather Conditions: Untangling the Effects
Authors: Lobo António , Ferreira Sara , Iglesias Isabel , Couto António
Published: June 2019

Most previous studies show that inclement weather increases the risk of road users being involved in a traffic crash. However, some authors have demonstrated a little or even an opposite effect, observed both on crash frequency and severity. In urban roads, where a greater number of conflict points and heavier traffic represent a higher exposure to risk, the potential increase of crash risk caused by adverse weather deserves a special attention. This study investigates the impact of meteorological conditions on the frequency of road crashes in urban environment, using the city of Porto, Portugal as a case study. The weather effects were analyzed for different types of crashes: single-vehicle, multi-vehicle, property-damage-only, and injury crashes. The methodology is based on negative binomial and Poisson models with random parameters, considering the influence of daily precipitation and mean temperature, as well as the lagged effects of the precipitation accumulated during the previous month. The results show that rainy days are more prone to the occurrence of road crashes, although the past precipitation may attenuate such effect. Temperatures below 10 °C are associated with higher crash frequencies, complying with the impacts of precipitation in the context of the Portuguese climate characteristics.

Published: June 2019

Conducting business nowadays has become much more challenging, and the importance of collective behavioral capacity is paramount regarding the behavior of employees along with internal information systems that form the backbone of many organizations in terms of competitiveness and survivability. This study, therefore, examined the effect of commitment, communication, competency, community, connection, consideration, and coordination on information system artifacts and the effect of information system artifacts on organizational resilience among Malaysian SMEs. To verify these statements and positioning, a sample of employees from registered organizations of the Malaysian Digital Economic Corporation Sdn Bhd (MDEC), participated in this study to examine a number of aspects. Quantitative data were collected from a total of 252 respondents through a questionnaire survey and data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. We performed the endogeniety assessment for the all the seven input variables and confirmed lack of endogeniety issues. The findings of this study constitute essential results that the commitment, communication, competency, community, connection, consideration, and coordination positively influenced the ISA. Furthermore, the mediating effect of ISA on the relationships of organizational resilience with commitment, communication, competency, community, connection, consideration, and coordination, had been revealed. The study concluded that a positive set of behavioral capital, if it exists inside organizations, enables the organizations to prosper and survive. Similarly, policymakers need to address the issue surrounding resilience in SMEs by establishing the correct benchmarking mechanism by introducing it as a formal activity to be undertaken regularly within the SMEs. Given the vast majority of employment in Malaysia and globally is provided through SMEs, if they become more resilient to change and to unforeseen events, then the employment of the vast majority of the working class can be secured across different nations.
An Eigenvector Centrality for Multiplex Networks with Data
Authors: Pedroche Francisco , Tortosa Leandro , Vicent José F.
Published: June 2019

Networks are useful to describe the structure of many complex systems. Often, understanding these systems implies the analysis of multiple interconnected networks simultaneously, since the system may be modelled by more than one type of interaction. Multiplex networks are structures capable of describing networks in which the same nodes have different links. Characterizing the centrality of nodes in multiplex networks is a fundamental task in network theory. In this paper, we design and discuss a centrality measure for multiplex networks with data, extending the concept of eigenvector centrality. The essential feature that distinguishes this measure is that it calculates the centrality in multiplex networks where the layers show different relationships between nodes and where each layer has a dataset associated with the nodes. The proposed model is based on an eigenvector centrality for networks with data, which is adapted according to the idea behind the two-layer approach PageRank. The core of the centrality proposed is the construction of an irreducible, non-negative and primitive matrix, whose dominant eigenpair provides a node classification. Several examples show the characteristics and possibilities of the new centrality illustrating some applications.
Reversible Data Hiding Scheme Using Adaptive Block Truncation Coding Based on an Edge-Based Quantization Approach
Authors: Lin Chia-Chen , Chang Ching-Chun , Wang Zhi-Ming
Published: June 2019

In this paper, we provide a novel reversible data hiding method using adaptive block truncation coding based on an edge-based quantization (ABTC-EQ) approach. We exploit the characteristic not being used in ABTC-EQ. To accomplish this, we first utilized a Canny edge detector to obtain an edge image and classify each block in a cover image into two versions, edge-block and non-edge-block. Subsequently, k-means clustering was used to obtain three quantization levels and derive the corresponding bit map while the current processing block was the case of an edge-block. Then Zero-Point Fixed Histogram Shifting (ZPF-HS) was applied to embed the secret information into compressed code. The experimental results show that our method provides a high embedding capacity for each test image and performance is better than other methods.
Application of Interactive Multiple Model Adaptive Five-Degree Cubature Kalman Algorithm Based on Fuzzy Logic in Target Tracking
Authors: Wan Jian , Ren Peiwen , Guo Qiang
Published: June 2019

Aiming at the shortcomings of low precision, hysteresis, and poor robustness of the general interactive multimodel algorithm in the “snake-like” maneuver tracking of anti-ship missiles, an interactive multimodel adaptive five-degree cubature Kalman algorithm based on fuzzy logic (FLIMM5ACKF) is proposed. The algorithm mainly includes adaptive five-degree cubature Kalman algorithm (A5CKF) and fuzzy logic algorithm (FL). A5CKF uses the Sage–Husa noise estimation principle to propose a state error covariance adaptive five-degree cubature Kalman algorithm to improve the performance of state estimation. Then, the fuzzy logic algorithm (FL) is added to the model probability update module to control the model probability update module. Finally, by setting the same tracking model simulation analysis, the algorithm has better convergence speed, tracking effect and robustness than the interactive multimodel cubature Kalman algorithm (IMMCKF), the interactive multimodel five-degree cubature Kalman algorithm (IMM5CKF) and the interactive multimodel adaptive five-degree cubature Kalman (IMMA5CKF).

Published: June 2019

Fusarium diseases, including corn root rot, sheath rot, stalk rot, and ear rot are frequently occurring in maize producing areas of China. Fusarium stalk rot and ear rot are the most serious diseases and often occur at the same time, but it is unclear whether there is a correlation between Fusarium composition and disease occurrence. This study was conducted to clarify the relationship between the two diseases. A total of 49 corn stalk rot samples were collected from 15 regions of eight provinces in China from 2016 to 2018. The pathogens were isolated and identified separately from stalks, ear stems, and kernels. The contents of the fumonisins (FB1 and FB2) were detected in kernels. The results showed that the main Fusarium species were found in corn kernels, ear stems and stalks at the same time. The results showed that 1201 strains of Fusarium verticillioides, 668 strains of Fusarium oxysporum, 574 strains of Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC), 318 strains of Fusarium equiseti, 95 strains of Fusarium proliferatum, and 40 strains of Fusarium subglutinans were isolated from 1470 corn kernels, 245 ear stems, and 1225 stalks randomly selected from 49 samples. The contamination rate of fumonisins in the 49 samples was 57.1% with an average content of 1.9 μg/g, of which four samples exhibited higher levels as set by the European Commission (4.0 μg/g). These results provide a certain association between stalk rot and ear rot and lay a foundation to study the relationships among Fusarium maize diseases.

Authors: Chiu Hsiu-Hui , Liu Ming-Tsan , Chung Wen-Hung , Ko Yu-Shien , Lu Chin-Fang , Lan Cheng-Che E. , Lu Chun-Wei , Wei Kai-Che
Published: June 2019

Background: Nail changes, including onychomadesis (nail shedding) and Beau’s line, following hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) are a common emergence at the stage of late complications of HFMD. However, the exact mechanism is still unknown. Therefore, we conducted this study to elucidate the mechanism of nail changes following HFMD. Methods: We collected 11 patients suffering from onychomadesis following HFMD. Nail samples from all of them were collected. Real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequencing for human enteroviruses (HEV) were performed. Throat swabs for RT-PCR and sequencing for HEV were performed for three cases. Results: RT-PCR demonstrated the presence of Coxackievirus A6 (CVA6) in nail samples from three patients and one with Echovirus. Conclusion: In conclusion, we believe that the major cause of onychomadesis following HFMD is that certain novel viruses, mostly CVA6, are virulent and may damage nail matrix. Direct injury caused by cutaneous lesions of HFMD around nail matrix is a minor cause. There are still other virulent HEV which may result in onychomadesis. In addition, the novel strain of CVA6 also causes atypical clinical presentations, such as adult involvement and delayed-onset palmar and plantar desquamation. Physicians should be familiar with atypical presentations caused by novel viruses to avoid misdiagnosis and even inform patients of the possibility of onychomadesis that may take place weeks later to reassure patients.
Integrated Water Resources Management and Policy Integration: Lessons from 169 Years of Flood Policies in Switzerland
Authors: Metz Florence , Glaus Anik
Published: June 2019

In times of increasing pressures on water resources, the integrated management of the resource is a central policy objective. While there exists encompassing research about the concept of integrated water resources management (IWRM), much remains to be studied regarding the integration of water-related policies. Water resources management profits when policy actors coordinate their demands and actions across policy sectors, territorial entities, and decision-making levels within a water basin. However, actors are bound by the policy framework, which organizes water resources management in defined sectors and, over time, develop into independent and specialized policy pillars. A growing number of policies increases the need to integrate those policies over time following the institutional resources regime (IRR) framework. However, an increasing number of policies also proves challenging in establishing an integrated, coherent regime compliant with IWRM. In this study, we analyze flood risk management policies and find an almost exponential increase in policies over time, while flood risks and damage have not decreased in parallel. We address this empirical puzzle with an in-depth analysis of the design of Swiss flood risk management policies over time. To this end, we survey the opinion of 146 flood experts on the importance of ten policy design indicators in three flood-prone regions in Switzerland. Flood risk management experts attribute particular importance to policy designs characterized by integration, a sufficient budget for policy implementation, and coercive instruments and sanctions. We then compare survey results to the ways in which Swiss policies have been designed in legislation across policy sectors related to flood risk management over the last 169 years. We find that policy designs follow a national policy style. Placing these results in local contexts, we explain why the design of policies represents both a challenge and opportunity for policy-makers involved in flood risk management.
The Challenges of Water Management and Governance in Cities
Authors: van Leeuwen Kees , Hofman Jan , Driessen Peter , Frijns Jos
Published: June 2019

Combined impacts of sea-level rise, river flooding, increased frequency and magnitude of extreme rainfall, heatwaves, water scarcity, water pollution, ageing or lacking infrastructures for water, wastewater and solid waste in rapidly urbanising regions in the world call for improved water management and governance capacity in cities to accelerate the transition to water-wise cities. The sixteen contributions to this Special Issue create further awareness and present solutions on integrated approaches, advanced water management practices and water governance strategies. It is concluded that cities require a long-term strategy and a multilevel water governance approach. Research has shown how important it is to involve the civil society and private parties early on in this process to create success. Collaboration among cities and regions by sharing best practices for rapid implementation are crucial to cope with nearly all Sustainable Development Goals.
A possibilidade de impetração do mandado de segurança coletivo pelo Ministério Público
Authors: Souza Marina Gomes de
Published: June 2019

O mandado de segurança coletivo é uma garantia constitucional instituída pela Constituição Federal de 1988, que visa cessar leão ou ameaça de lesão a direito líquido e certo, não amparado por habeas corpus ou habeas data, podendo ser impetrado por partido político com representação no Congresso Nacional, sindicatos, entidades de classe ou associações legalmente constituídas há mais de um ano, na defesa dos interesses dos seus membros. Contudo, a Carta Política conferiu ao Ministério Público a proteção dos direitos difusos e coletivos e, ao seu turno, o microssistema constitucional de tutela de interesses transindividuais, composto pelo conjunto de leis a que se integra, corroboram a legitimidade do Ministério Público para a defesa dos direitos transindividuais, difusos, coletivos e individuais homogêneos. O presente estudo pretende verificar a possibilidade da extensão da legitimidade para a impetração do mandado de segurança coletivo pelo Ministério Público, no uso de suas atribuições constitucionalmente instituídas, a partir de uma análise da doutrina pertinente ao tema

Authors: Jones Jenna , Kingston Mark , Driscoll Timothy , Edwards Adrian , Evans Bridie , Hussain Ather , James Mari , Griffiths Lesley , Mclean Grayham , Keen Leigh , Phillips Ceri , Porter Alison , Snooks Helen , Watkins Alan
Published: June 2019

Background

In response to rising demand for health care and limited availability of GPs, paramedics are increasingly working in general practices, most commonly to carry out home visits. UK policy supports this change which involves role substitution across professional groups and sectors of care. In Wales, schemes have been introduced over the past few years, with various configuration, employment, and governance arrangements, but we do not know the risks and benefits of Paramedics working in Primary Care (PPC), or which model works best. There is an urgent need to better understand the PPC innovation.

Aim

To describe the evidence base, theoretical underpinning and current initiatives; and determine the feasibility of undertaking a definitive evaluation of PPC in order to produce generalisable evidence to inform policy and practice.

Method

A survey of Welsh Health Boards has been undertaken to identify sites and stakeholders to take part in qualitative interviews. A feasibility study will be conducted with three GP practice sites: one with a directly-employed paramedic; one with a Welsh Ambulance Service-employed paramedic; and a control site. Data will be collected for the following outcomes: 1) number of home visits requested; 2) home visit outcomes (the proportion resolved, further home visit required, emergency admission, 999 call placed); 3) prescribing patterns; 4) subsequent healthcare contacts; 5) patient satisfaction; 6) serious adverse events; and 7) cost profile.

Results

Welsh Health Board survey and qualitative findings will be available at the time of the conference.

Conclusion

We will submit an application for a fully powered application to NIHR HS&DR if indicated by our progression criteria.
The earlier identification of mental health problems in children and young people in primary care using their linked GP-hospital records
Authors: Prasad Vibhore
Published: June 2019

Background

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 3–5% of the population of children and young people (CYP). CYP with mental health problems report long delays in the diagnosis of mental health problems. ADHD is recognised in just under 1% of children and young people in English primary care and qualitative work suggests that parents (carers) report to their GPs prior to obtaining a diagnosis of ADHD but a detailed knowledge of reasons for presenting to health care is lacking.

Aim

To ascertain the reasons for attendance to health care for CYP with compared to CYP without ADHD.

Method

Using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) with linked Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) data, all medical records for CYP with ADHD were extracted. Up to five CYP without ADHD were selected at random matched by age, sex, and GP practice. All GP and hospital medical records were extracted and inspected in the 2 years prior to the date of diagnosis of ADHD in the index case.

Results

There were 8135 CYP with ADHD and 40 614 CYP without ADHD. Medical records from GP, hospital diagnosis codes, and operative procedure codes have been extracted. A description of the reasons for attendance to healthcare in the 2 years prior to diagnosis (index date) will be presented at the conference.

Conclusion

A detailed knowledge of reasons for attendance to healthcare for CYP with versus CYP without CYP will assist GPs, paediatrics, educationalists, and CYP’s parents (carers) may help to identify ADHD earlier than is currently possible.
Physical activity for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome: Cochrane systematic review
Authors: Nunan David , Ordóñez-Mena José M , Roberts Nia , Thomas Elizabeth , Mahtani Kamal
Published: June 2019

Background

Current recommendations for patients with irritable bowel syndrome to partake in physical activity do not incorporate evidence from all available randomised control trials (RCTs), with little information regarding potential adverse effects.

Aim

To assess the benefits and harms of physical activity interventions in adults diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome.

Method

Ten electronic databases including CENTRAL, MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched until 24 November 2017 for RCTs comparing a physical activity intervention with no intervention, usual care, or another intervention; assessing a validated measure of symptoms, quality of life (QoL), and bowel movement in any setting.

Results

Nine RCTs with data for 326 participants were included. Interventions included yoga (n = 5), advice and support (n = 2), treadmill exercise (n = 1), and Qigong (n = 1) compared with usual care (n = 4), walking (n = 2), diet (n = 1), or medication only (n = 2). A meta-analysis of three studies demonstrated a large and statistically significant improvement in reported IBS symptoms (standardised mean difference −1.06, 95% confidence interval = −2.08 to −0.04; N = 84). However, evidence was rated as very low quality, providing very little confidence in the effect estimate. In additional meta-analyses, physical activity did not conclusively demonstrate improvements in QoL or abdominal pain. The quality of evidence was judged very low and low respectively, providing little confidence in the effect estimates. There was insufficient evidence to assess adverse effects due to poor trial reporting.

Conclusion

A small body of low to very-low quality evidence suggests physical activity may improve symptoms but not QoL or abdominal pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome but findings are uncertain.
Test Talk: an observational study exploring the discussion of blood tests in routine primary care consultations
Authors: Martin Jessica , Watson Jessica , Barnes Rebecca
Published: June 2019

Background

Clinicians are encouraged to share decisions about treatment options with their patients, however to-date there has been little research attention focusing on the discussion of investigations.

Aim

This study explored shared decision making (SDM) regarding blood testing during routine primary care consultations.

Method

This observational study used inductive and deductive qualitative content analysis to examine 50 consultations. Data were sampled from the One in a Million archive, which contains video-recordings of 300 primary care consultations and linked data between GPs and adult patients with permissions for reuse. The discussion surrounding both ordering blood tests and conveying results was coded, including who instigated testing, whether there was SDM, and how results were explained to patients.

Results

During 36/50 consultations in which ordering blood tests was discussed, 31% of patients hinted they wanted a blood test, however none explicitly asked: 32% of patients were informed about all blood tests ordered. Only 11% were offered any alternative options. In 81% of cases the GP gave some explanation of why the test was indicated, but only 17% explained any limitations of testing. Of 23/50 consultations in which results were conveyed, the GP gave no explanation of the results in 26% of cases: 57% of patients were only informed of an ‘assessment’ of the result, not the actual result.

Conclusion

This study identifies numerous areas for improvement in terms of patient information and SDM surrounding blood testing. Promoting SDM has been hypothesised to reduce rates of unnecessary testing and could potentially improve patient-centred care and efficiency.
Association of mortality and warmer weather below heatwave thresholds, in Berlin, Germany, between 2013 and 2015: a retrospective study
Authors: Tilenius Heinz
Published: June 2019

Background

While an association between increased mortality and heatwaves is well known, less is known about higher temperatures ranges below heatwaves and mortality, in urban settings.

Aim

To establish if there was an association between mortality rates within the population of Berlin, during defined risk periods of daily warmer temperatures between 2013 and 2015.

Method

A retrospective secondary data analysis of death counts, population, and temperature data from Berlin. A defined risk periods model of specified temperature ranges of daily minimum and daily maximum temperatures investigated May to September, from 2013 to 2015. A Poisson regression model established incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for mortality. Effect size was estimated in ‘lives lost’.

Results

Mortality rates were noticeably increased during defined risk periods for all people aged ≥65 years during daily temperatures of ≥18 to ≤29°C. In people aged ≥75–84 years, during risk period ≥18°C to ≤29°C, incidence risk ratio (IRR) was 1.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.07 to 1.40, P = 0.004). For females aged 65–74 years, during ≥18°C to ≤29°C, a higher mortality rate was found, compared to males (females: IRR 1.28, 95% CI = 1.15 to 1.42, P<0.001; males: IRR 0.93, 95% CI = 0.78 to 1.10, P = 0.390). Effect size calculation estimated an additional 252 deaths in Berlin, between 2013 and 2015, with 133 deaths in the ≥85-year group.

Conclusion

As mortality of older people increased during defined warmer weather, temperatures below heatwave ranges need acknowledgement as a risk factor for health. Policies and health warning systems should include daily minimum temperatures.

COMUNICAÇÃO ALTERNATIVA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: NOVAS PRÁTICAS PEDAGÓGICAS
Authors: Murillio Patricia Celis , Zaniolo Leandro Osni
Published: June 2019

Resumo A Comunicação Alternativa (CA) introduz uma nova prática pedagógica ao entender que o processo linguístico não precisa ser dado por uma linguagem oral. No entanto, as práticas escolares reconhecem na linguagem oral o principal meio de comunicação. O objetivo da pesquisa consistiu em descrever a realidade da educação infantil inclusiva para crianças que não falam. Esta pesquisa é um ensaio bibliográfico sobre a efetividade da CA na educação infantil, mediada por leis e portarias que regulamentam as ações educacionais inclusivas. Resultados: O universo escolar, da educação básica, encontra na estrutura curricular e na formação continuada dos professores, um descompasso frente às necessidades emergentes da educação inclusiva. Contudo, a prática da comunicação alternativa vem sendo gradualmente inserida nas escolas da educação básica junto aos grupos de pesquisa. Palavra Chaves: Educação infantil; educação inclusiva; comunicação alternativa.

O artigo resulta de Pós-doutoramento na Universidade do Minho/Portugal, financiado pelo Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte - IFRN. Visamos analisar as trajetórias e percursos das políticas públicas para jovens e adultos no Brasil, estabelecendo algumas interfaces com a educação de adultos em Portugal. Adotamos alguns procedimentos teórico-metodológicos, como a revisão bibliográfica, notas de aula e de eventos acadêmico-científicos dos quais participamos nos respectivos países, bem como a análise documental, como os marcos regulatórios da Educação de (Jovens e) Adultos do Brasil e Portugal. Vimos que, em ambos os países, as organizações educativas se submeteram à forte regulação estatal, com o objetivo de gerir problemas relacionados às questões sociais, traduzindo-se, assim, a ideia de parceria com o Estado: em Portugal, podemos destacar a educação de segunda oportunidade e a formação profissional; no Brasil, vários programas têm essas características, como o PRONATEC.

Formación Pedagógica con Responsabilidad Social del Profesorado de las Carreras Tecnológicas del Instituto Bolivariano de Tecnología
Authors: Tolozano Benites Manuel Roberto , Delgado Saeteros Emma Zulay
Published: June 2019

Los países  latinoamericanos impulsaron, durante los años ochenta y noventa, una serie de transformaciones que llevaron a un escenario educativo actual más favorable. Mayoría de los programas de mejoramiento de la calidad y equidad en América Latina incluyeron: establecimiento de incentivos y programas de desarrollo profesional del profesorado. Unido a ello y como parte importante del cambio, se adoptaron políticas relativas al profesorado, que abarcaban toda su vida en el ejercicio profesional. En correspondencia a lo expuesto y dando respuesta a las nuevas exigencias que hoy tienen nuestro sistema educativo, se les exige a maestros y profesores habilidades, competencias y compromisos cada vez más complejos, por lo que este estudio versa sobre las carencias pedagógicas del profesorado del Instituto Superior Tecnológico Bolivariano de Tecnología y se presenta un modelo de formación pedagógica acorde a las características propias de la educación técnica y tecnológica, con el objeto de elevar la calidad de la educación, a través del mejoramiento de la preparación de los docentes y su desempeño profesional competente.

В Україні виготовлення знімних пластинкових протезів з жорстким базисом сягає 80%. За даними літератури, від 20 до 26% пацієнтів не користуються знімними протезами, а 37% – незадоволені якістю ортопедичного лікування ними. Крім того, в 52% випадків знімні конструкції мають недостатню фіксацію та стабілізацію на протезних ложах. У 64% пацієнтів під базисами протезів розвиваються захворювання слизової оболонки травматичної етіології (В.А. Лабунець).

Тому дослідження процесу адаптації до нового протезу важливо для розуміння засобів контролю жувальної мускулатури і може дати цінну інформацію для визначення подальшого шляху вирішення проблем, що заважають хворим досягнути повної адаптації до протезів. Аналіз електроміографічної активності і кінетики жувальних рухів потрібен для розуміння системи рухової активності та жувальної ефективності.

Метою дослідження є порівняльна характеристика терміну/якості адаптації пацієнтів до знімних пластинкових ортопедичних конструкцій, виготовлених за різною лабораторною технологією, за допомогою електроміографічного дослідження жувальних м’язів.

Для досягнення поставленої мети було обстежено та проліковано 80 пацієнтів з частковою втратою зубів у віці 45–65 років, яким показано заміщення дефектів зубних рядів частковими знімними ортопедичними конструкціями. Пацієнти, що брали участь у дослідженні, були розділені на три групи: пацієнтам першої групи протези було виготовлено з акрилової пластмаси термоінжекційним методом; пацієнтам другої групи протези були виготовлені з акрилової пластмаси гарячої полімеризації компресійним методом; третю групу складали пацієнти, протези яким були виготовлені з нової вітчизняної акрилової пластмаси методом вільного лиття з послідуючою полімеризацією під тиском.

Головним показником адаптації пацієнтів нашого дослідження є нормалізація функції жування, що оцінюється за допомогою електроміографічного аналізу жувальних м’язів.

Виходячи с показників середнього коефіцієнта відношення показників електроміографічного дослідження, ми можемо стверджувати, що адаптація пацієнтів групи, де протези виготовлялися за технологією лиття з послідуючою полімеризацією під тиском, є більш послідовною та якіснішою, ніж у груп пацієнтів, де використовувалися інші лабораторні технології виготовлення знімних протезів.

Таким чином, електроміографічне дослідження показало, що методика лиття з послідуючою полімеризацією під тиском при виготовленні знімних пластинкових протезів більш якісно відновлює жувальну функцію та спонукає на нормалізацію та адаптацію м’язової системи до жування.
EL REVERSO DE LA DEMOCRACIA
Authors: Covarrubias Israel
Published: June 2019

El presente artículo discute el impacto de una parte relevante de la obra del sociólogo mexicano Roger Bartra para la teoría política latinoamericana. Bartra es un autor que ha producido formas de comprensión originales sobre el poder en contextos de cambio político, como fue el pasaje de los años setenta a los años noventa del siglo pasado en México y en América Latina. A partir de la problematización de algunos capítulos relevantes de su obra, la cual siempre ha oscilado entre la antropología y la filosofía, entre la sociología y la ciencia política, se intentará delinear diversos rasgos teóricos centrales de la “aporía constitutiva” que subyace a la formación histórica del poder en algunas de sus direcciones de reproducción, y que en Bartra cobran la forma de la dimensión simbólica del poder, la melancolía y la democracia.
The Star Formation History in the Solar Neighborhood as Told by Massive White Dwarfs
Authors: Isern Jordi
Published: June 2019

White dwarfs (WDs) are the remnants of low- and intermediate-mass stars. Because of electron degeneracy, their evolution is just a simple gravothermal process of cooling. Recently, thanks to Gaia data, it has been possible to construct the luminosity function of massive (

) WDs in the solar neighborhood (

pc). Because the lifetime of their progenitors is very short, the birth times of both parents and daughters are very close and facilitate the reconstruction of an (effective) star formation rate. This rate started growing from zero during the early Galaxy and reached a maximum 6–7 Gyr ago. It declined and ∼5 Gyr ago started to climb once more, reaching a maximum 2–3 Gyr ago; it has decreased since then. There are some traces of a recent star formation burst, but the method used here is not appropriate for recently born WDs.
Metapocyrtus kitangladensis sp. n., a new Pachyrhynchus cumingii GR Waterhouse, 1841 mimic from Mindanao Island, Philippines
Authors: Cabras Analyn A. , Medina Milton Norman D. , Zhang Guanyang
Published: June 2019

A description of a new species from the genus Metapocyrtus Heller, 1912 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Pachyrhynchini) from Mt Kitanglad Range Natural Park, an ASEAN Heritage Site in northern Mindanao is presented and illustrated. The recent discovery is also the first mimic record of Pachyrhynchuscumingii GR Waterhouse, 1841 which are both found in the same locality. A Coptorhynchus sp. showing similar elytral patterns was also documented to be part of the mimicry complex. The new species differs from the other two species in having a distinct transverse groove between forehead and rostrum and the antennal scape reaching beyond the hind margin of the eye.

Passions de dames au temps des persécutions
Authors: Destephen Sylvain
Published: June 2019

La littérature hagiographique d’époque tardo-antique et byzantine conserve le souvenir, historique ou légendaire, de nombreux martyrs, en particulier en Asie Mineure où fut déclenchée la dernière persécution générale des chrétiens par l’empereur Dioclétien. Il faut remarquer que les femmes sont beaucoup plus nombreuses dans les Passions que dans les Vies de saintes qui se placent après cette persécution. Quand elles ne sont pas des figures inconsistantes, les femmes martyres, réelles ou fictives, appartiennent en priorité aux catégories supérieures de la société romaine. Pourtant, sans distinction d’origine et de fortune, elles transmettent toutes un message uniformisé qui exalte les vertus chrétiennes de chasteté et d’obéissance systématisées par le monachisme.
La place des femmes dans la vie publique de Pergame sous le Haut Empire : essai de synthèse
Authors: Ventroux Olivier
Published: June 2019

Les sources épigraphiques de Pergame présentent d’indéniables difficultés pour appréhender la place des femmes dans la vie publique de la cité (rareté des femmes évergètes ou magistrats/liturges, textes courts et stéréotypés). Si les femmes pouvaient jouer un rôle majeur dans la sphère religieuse, le profil social des évergètes et des titulaires d’une magistrature ou d’une liturgie est difficile à cerner. La fortune, si elle fut essentielle, ne constitua pas le critère décisif de leur promotion sociale : leurs liens avec Rome et l’influence des hommes de leur famille furent des éléments bien plus déterminants.
