Published: December 2019

Objective: This study sought to measure burden of disease and identifies health priorities from the Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) indicator. Methods: This is the first study on burden of disease for a department in Colombia by using a standardized methodology. By using the DALYs indicator, burden of disease was identified in the department of Nariño according to the guidelines established by the World Health Organization. Results: The DALYs in the Department of Nariño highlight the emergence of communicable, maternal, perinatal, and nutritional diseases during the first years of life; of accidents and lesions among youth, and non-communicable diseases in older individuals. Also, accidents and lesions are highlighted in men and non-communicable diseases in women. Conclusions: This study is part of the knowledge management process in the Departmental Health Plan for Nariño - Colombia 2012-2015 and contributes to the system of indicators of the 2012 ten-year public health plan. This research evidences that communicable diseases generate the biggest part of the burden of disease in the Department of Nariño, that DALYs due to non-communicable diseases are on the rise, and that accidents and lesions, especially due to violence are an important cause of DALYs in this region, which is higher than that of the country.

Elders Health Empowerment Scale. Spanish adaptation and psychometric analysis
Authors: Serrani Azcurra Daniel Jorge Luis
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Empowerment refers to patient skills that allow them to become primary decision-makers in control of daily self-management of health problems. As important the concept as it is, particularly for elders with chronic diseases, few available instruments have been validated for use with Spanish speaking people. Objective: Translate and adapt the Health Empowerment Scale (HES) for a Spanish-speaking older adults sample and perform its psychometric validation. Methods: The HES was adapted based on the Diabetes Empowerment Scale-Short Form. Where “diabetes” was mentioned in the original tool, it was replaced with “health” terms to cover all kinds of conditions that could affect health empowerment. Statistical and Psychometric Analyses were conducted on 648 urban-dwelling seniors. Results: The HES had an acceptable internal consistency with a Cronbach’s α of 0.89. The convergent validity was supported by significant Pearson’s Coefficient correlations between the HES total and item scores and the General Self Efficacy Scale (r= 0.77), Swedish Rheumatic Disease Empowerment Scale (r= 0.69) and Making Decisions Empowerment Scale (r= 0.70). Construct validity was evaluated using item analysis, half-split test and corrected item to total correlation coefficients; with good internal consistency (α> 0.8). The content validity was supported by Scale and Item Content Validity Index of 0.98 and 1.0, respectively. Conclusions: HES had acceptable face validity and reliability coefficients; which added to its ease administration and users’ unbiased comprehension, could set it as a suitable tool in evaluating elder’s outpatient empowerment-based medical education programs.

Scientific research suggests that winter wheat cultivation technologies can be regulated by plant growth regulators. These substances have a complex effect on growth and development and facilitate plant growth and crop capacity.

Three-year field studies were carried out using plant growth regulators of Azotophyte, Amber acid and Vympel to determine the dynamics of plant growth rates and their productivity. This made it possible to observe the influence of growth regulators before sewing and to establish their effectiveness at all stages of plant development. Seeds of winter wheat of the variety Jubiwata were treated with solutions of the substances under analysis. The experimental area was 40 m².

The study demonstrated that the growth regulators do not influence the field germination rate of plants, but the percentage of germination was quite high in both control and experimental variants.

As for the rates of plant height and root length, the first measurement of the average height of winter wheat plants in autumn demonstrated that Vympel was the most efficient. Its indicators exceeded the control variant by 3.4%. After the second measurement, the plant height increased in all variants. The fourth spring measurement showed that the most powerful was the effect by Amber acid. This compound significantly inhibited plant growth compared to other growth regulators and controls.

The investigated plant growth regulators have a positive influence on the processes of root development of winter wheat plants in both autumn and spring time. This feature will provide a better nutrition of the plants.

The weight of the dry matter after the first weighing was greater in the control and the variant treated with Nitrogen. The fourth weighing showed that the best effect on the dry matter mass was found by Azotophyte, which contributed to the increase of this indicator twice as much compared to the control. Amber acid, when used for pre-sowing seed treatment, exceeded the control value by 1.8 times.

Stronger effect on the percentage of dry matter in the plant sample was found only by Vympel, under the influence of which this indicator was greater by 9 units compared to the control.

The use of synthetic growth regulators significantly increases the productivity of winter wheat, namely the length of the complex ear, the number of grains and the weight of the compound ear.

Thus, research has shown that plant growth regulators Azotophit, Amber acid and Vympel facilitate the growth and productivity of winter wheat plants of the Juvivat variety. Winter wheat crops can be treated with these substances before sowing. Determining the highest efficiency of each individual regulator, as well as the possibility of combining them to improve plant growth processes, requires further research.

The article sums up the results of the study of milk casein as a biopolymer, which is widely used in food industry, construction, pharmacy, etc. and on the basis of which polymer films for biodegradable materials can be obtained. The analysis draws on data on the structure of milk casein molecules as a complex globular micellar system, which is constructed by nanoscale sub-micelles, interconnected by calcium phosphate sites, with the formation of a casein-calcium phosphate complex. Sub-micelles differ in structure and function, according to which their four fractions are distinguished. The hydrophilic carboxyl groups of the glutamic, aspartic and orthophosphate acids of the κ-casein fraction provide the stabilization of casein micelles in the aqueous medium. Such structure of casein does not allow to receive film materials, they have low technological characteristics, very low durability and elasticity, high fragility. Moreover, they are easily soluble in water.

Studies have shown that on the basis of casein it is possible to obtain polymer films, provided the use of a polymer composition, in which besides casein there is a modified polysaccharide. To obtain such a composition, carboxymethylcellulose was used, which also has biodegradable properties, however, unlike casein, it is capable of forming sufficiently strong polymer films. The polymer composition was synthesized in two steps: first, an aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose was prepared, to which freshly precipitated casein with a moisture content of 20%, precipitated from skim milk, was added. The composition of the polymer composition was enriched with a number of additives serving as plasticizers, and structure-forming. The triatomic alcohol glycerol and diphenylamine were added as plasticizers too. In order to regulate the structure of the aqueous dispersion medium and prevent the processes of aggregation of casein micelles, calcium chloride solution was injected in the composition. The given polymer composition after polymerization in the air-drying process makes it possible to obtain sufficiently strong composite polymer films, the transparency of which depends on the type of plasticizer selected and the presence of CaCl2.

"Dezentrale, offene Blockchain-Technologien verwalten auf protokologischer Ebene Transaktionen von Daten. Durch kryptographische Methoden lassen sich die Transaktionen der Daten identifizieren. Dies geschieht – wenn kein Softwareupdate erfolgt – ohne Eingriff von aussen. Deshalb werden Blockchains als souveräne Medientechnologien vorgestellt. Sie regieren sich selbst. Damit sind sie auf Kollisionskurs mit traditionellen Souveränitäten, die entscheiden dürfen, was der Fall ist. Zu beobachten ist deshalb das Auftreten einer generisch digitalen Souveränitätsform. Deren Konsensfindung über den Zustand ihres Regierungsbereichs wird analysiert.

Decentralized, open blockchain technologies manage transactions of data on a protocological level. Cryptographic methods can be used to identify data transactions. This happens—if no software update takes place—without external intervention. Blockchains are therefore presented as sovereign media technologies. They govern themselves. This puts them on a collision course with traditional sovereignties that are allowed to decide what is the case. The emergence of a generic digital form of sovereignty can therefore be observed. Their consensus on the state of their government will be analyzed."
Infectious encephalitis diagnosis and treatment in immunosupressed patients: a case report and review of literature
Authors: Jokubaitis M. , Valaikienė J.
Published: December 2019

Infectious encephalitis in immunosuppressed patients is a common and urgent condition that requires rapid diagnosis and early treatment. The disease can lead to severe neurological deficit and eventually result in the death of the patient. Usually infectious encephalitis presents with fever, headache, focal neurological deficits, and altered state of consciousness. Immunosuppressed patients pose a great differential diagnostic challenge since clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, and imaging tests are often attenuated and may imitate stroke or other non-infectious diseases. Therefore, infectious meningoencephalitis should be suspected in all immunosuppressed patients with acute focal neurological symptoms, even in the absence of fever and meningeal signs. Accordingly, physician should thoroughly evaluate patient’s history, perform detailed physical examination, and carefully interpret test results. Early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment of bacterial meningoencephalitis correlates with better prognosis for the patient. This article describes an atypical clinical case of a bacterial meningoencephalitis with stroke-like symptoms in a patient with multiple myeloma. In addition, the article reviews clinical presentation, diagnostic and treatment recommendations of infectious encephalitis in immunosuppressed patients.

Published: December 2019

O presente artigo aborda o desenvolvimento de uma programação no Excel, voltada para estudantes, professores e profissionais que lidam com a necessidade de um sistema para o cálculo de armadura em lajes maciças retangulares apoiadas no contorno, que tenha baixo custo e que ofereça resultados confiáveis. O desenvolvimento desse sistema deu-se pela utilização da ferramenta Virtual Basic for Application (VBA), a qual já vem inclusa nos módulos avançados do Pacote Office. Para o dimensionamento e determinação das armaduras de lajes maciças, dispôs-se da Teoria de Flexão nas Placas que é formada a partir da Teoria de Kirchhoff supondo material homogêneo, isótropo e elástico linear. Através dessa Teoria, dimensiona-se toda a laje analisando por placas isoladas, utilizando as equações de equilíbrio formuladas pela superposição das soluções de Navier ou Levy, dependendo das condições de contorno e carregamento da laje (ARAÚJO, 2014b). Os resultados obtidos com a programação quando comparados aos estudos realizados foram satisfatórios, configurando-se assim uma ferramenta importante para o auxílio didático.

Hemodialysis adversely affects many dimensions of the patients. So this study was carried out to assess the impact of hemodialysis on livelihood of the patients. Objectives: To study the socio-economic characteristics of Hemodialysis (HD) dependent patients, to explore the impact of hemodialysis on the livelihood of the patients, and to suggest some suitable policy measures. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: At Dialysis Center of DHQ Hospital Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. Period: May 2018 November 2018. Material & Methods: Multistage sampling technique was used, at 1st step a public sector dialysis center was selected through simple random sampling and then 109 adult patients were conveniently selected and interviewed through self-designed interview schedule. Data analysis and interpretation was executed using (SPSS version 24). Multiple linear regression was applied to study the relevant significance of predicting variables and to check the impact of different variables on respondent’s livelihood (response variable). Conclusion: It was found that due to rigorous schedule of HD most of the respondents were unable to perform their economic, social and religious activities; also they were depending on their caregivers for their routine activities. Resultantly, lower SES (socio-economic) has a negative effect on health in patients with undergoing dialysis involving fewer personal resources and lower levels of social support to deal with stress imposed by HD. Hence HD was negatively affecting their livelihood, so there is dire need to address these problems of HD dependent segment.

Fostering Human Capital Development Through the Triple Helix Model of Innovation: Cases from Selected Local Colleges and Universities (LCUs) in Metro Manila
Authors: Hermosura Juvy B.
Published: December 2019

This study attempts to provide a modest contribution in the field of public administration by giving emphasis on human capital development which can be made possible through industry-academe-government collaboration otherwise known as the triple helix model of innovation.  This model shows the dynamics arising from the interactions between the three principal institutional spheres in an economy – academe, government, and industry.  The study examines the various partnership initiatives of identified Local Colleges and Universities (LCUs) in Metro Manila aimed at producing better quality graduates who can contribute to economic development.  Using desk study and Key Informants Interview (KII) in gathering data, it was found out that LCUs are already into various engagements with the industry though still very limited as the usual   partnership modes cited are on internship, scholarship, physical resources sharing, and faculty training.   There are only few programs jointly designed by the university and industry with government participation but can be a good benchmark for other LCUs and local government units.  The study draws the following suggestions for policy consideration: to promote triple helix model of innovation in human capital development programs; flexibility to design courses relevant to the community; government incentives for companies collaborating with universities; institutionalization of industry practitioners involvement in curriculum development; provision of timely and usable labor market data; and creation of LCUs particularly in the provinces and capacitating them using the triple helix model.
Strengthening Public and Private Sector Collaboration for the Dumagat in Sta. Ines, Tanay, Rizal: Basis for A Four - Year IP Development Plan
Authors: M. dela Cruz Ana Christina
Published: December 2019

Providing a framework for exploring governance systems that range from policy or program-based inter-governmental cooperation (Makati and Tanay) to place-based collaboration with non-governmental stakeholders to public-private partnerships (PPP).

Public-Private Partnership is geared towards financing, designing, implementing and operating facilities and services that are traditionally provided by the public sector. It embodies optimal risk allocation between  the parties  – minimizing cost  while  realizing project developmental objectives. Thus, the project is to be structured in such a way that the private sector gets a reasonable rate of return on its investment. This offers monetary and non-monetary advantages for the public sector. It addresses the limited funding resources for local IP development projects of the public sector, thereby allowing the allocation of public funds for other local priorities. The collaboration is geared for both sectors to gain improved efficiency and project implementation processes in delivering services to the IP community. Most importantly, it emphasizes Value for Money – focusing on reduced costs, better risk allocation, faster implementation, improved services and possible generation of additional revenue.

A Four - year Indigenous People (IP) Development Plan for the Dumagat community is a concrete response to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Grounded in a vision that aims to transform our world - UN aspires to build a world free of poverty, hunger and disease, in which every woman and every girl enjoys full gender equality, where the environment is protected and where all people have access to quality education and decent work. The program is designed to create a sustainable community extension services for the IP community of Barangay Sta. Ines in Tanay, Rizal. The Dumagat community, characterized by lack of basic services, but open and willing to be organized to attain   genuine   and   holistic   development   is   the   priority   of   the   program.   In   the implementation, it will follow the different stages in community organizing to ensure the appropriateness of activities and training for community partners. Organizing the poorest of the  poor  can  lead  to  empowerment.  Also,  it  will  allow  them  to  become  pro-active  in ensuring the development

Published: December 2019

There are many issues of infastructure especially in the remote area in the islands of Indonesias and goes viral about collapsed bridges and how students and teachers transported to their school by crossing the collapsed bridges where is the only way to go to their school in the cross of their village. Although the government authority and Standard Operation Procedure are in ruled and structured but still collapsed bridges happened in Indonesia. The main objective of this study is to analyze why the monitoring are failed, learning from the case of the collapsed bridge happened in Nusa Lembongan island in Bali.  This study employed the qualitative descriptive methodology. The data collection techniques used were literature study, observation, and interviews with the goverrnment authority in PUPR Department and Klungkung Municipality and stakeholders in Nusa Lembongan Island. The study results shows that due to unclear division between central and local government role and budget, the division of monitoring and maintenance of bridge infrastructure has become unclear resulting in an accident. The unclear owner of the assets of the bridge caused the maintenance of the bridge to be displaced. The cased of collapsed bridge in Nusa Lembongan happened because of the unclear distribution of authority in the monitoring and maintenance between the Bali Provincial and Klungkung Municipaity Government.
Agrippina Maggiore
Authors: Valentini Alessandra
Published: December 2019

On October 18th of 33 AD, after five years of confinement on the island of Ventotene, Agrippina the Elder, Augstus’ niece, Germanicus Caesar’s wife, Caligula’s mother and Nero’s grandmother, died. At first she was a witness and then she assumed a leading role in the fight for the choice of the prince's heir, held up by a consistent group of supporters and animating the opposition in the Domus Augusta. In recent years scholars’ attention has been dedicated to the reconstruction of Augustus and Tiberius’ politics and to the organization of the groups animating the fight for the heir’s choice in the domus principis. To Agrippina the Elder, who assumed for decades a central role in the dynamics of the principate’s succession, scholars didn’t give specific attention, favoring, instead, the male perspective in the Augustan and Tiberian politics or the study of other women linked to men who assumed important role on the political scene. In a historical context in which the domus Augusta became the space of the political discussion and where women easily acquired spaces in the political field, Agrippina the Elder assumed an increasingly important role, acting in fields traditionally precluded to women and obtaining major possibilities to interfere in politics.

Authors: Sundueva Ekaterina Vladimirovna , Ayusheev Bator Bal'zhinimaevich
Published: December 2019

The article examines the Mongolic words with the root phonemes [l] and [l'] with the common meaning “plane”. Participation of these phonemes in the verbalization of planarity is a language universal. Using psychophysiology data, the authors reveal interrelation between the phonemes [l] , [l'] and a word meaning. It is shown that realization of the meaning “plane” is associated with such an articulatory characteristic of the phonemes [l] , [l'] as closure of the tongue and the hard palate. The analysed lexemes certainly represent peculiarities of the sensual and figurative way of the world cognition.
HYPOTHETICAL-DEDUCTIVE METHOD TO DESCRIBE METONYMY IN THE SPHERE OF VERBS OF SPEAKING
Authors: Chaplin Evgenii Vladimirovich
Published: December 2019

The article provides a survey of the existing approaches to understanding metonymy through the prism of cognitive linguistics. Special attention is paid to studying metonymy as a cognitive-semantic mechanism, as a principle of nonrandom relation and as a basis of translation strategy. The author proposes an approach based on a hypothetical-deductive method, semantic and corpus-based experiments. Relying on experiment results, the researcher clarifies the semantics of certain verbs of speaking and introduces a classification of metonymic transfers in the sphere of the predicates representing a speech act.

Authors: Kolesnikova Irina Evgen'evna
Published: December 2019

The article considers the semantic and ideographic classification of the Ukrainian and English phraseological units denoting kindness taking into account the achievements of modern phraseology, psychology and linguo-culturology. In the Ukrainian and English languages, the ideographic field “kindness” is represented by the semantic group of motivated phraseological units. The analysis indicates that semantic-axiological and somatic motivational macro-models are the most productive ones; they influenced the formation of the phraseological micro-system. The proposed methodology can be applied to study phraseological micro-systems of different languages.

Authors: Lutfullina Gyul'nara Firdavisovna
Published: December 2019

The article analyses the peculiarities of translating the means expressing multiplicativity and identifies their role in the formation of the rhythmic pattern of L. N. Tolstoy’s works. Repeated multiplicative actions and peculiarities of their translation into Tatar are examined. For the first time, multiplicativity is considered from the viewpoint of its potential in the reconstruction of the novel’s rhythmic pattern and acoustical background. The conclusion is made that when translating into Tatar, reduplicated lexico-grammatical word-forms are efficient means to achieve lexical and phonetic equivalence.
