Authors: Kratova Yulia , Kashkovsky Alexander , Shershnev Anton
Published: April 2019

Modification of the serial Fortran code for solving unsteady 2-D Euler
equations for the mixture of compressible gas and polydisperse particles was
carried out using OpenMP technology. Modified code was verified and parallel
speed-up was measured. Analysis showed that the data on parallel efficiency
is in a good agreement with the Amdahls law, which gives the estimate for
serial code fraction about 30%. Parallel code was used for the numerical
simulation of two test-cases, namely shock wave propagation in 2-D channel
with obstacles filled with reactive Al-O2 gas particle mixture and
heterogeneous detonation propagation in polydisperse suspensions. For the
first test-case the data on particles distribution in the flow was obtained,
the existense of particle free zones inside the vortices was demonstrated
and the attenuation of a shock wave was studied. In the second test,
numerical simulation of detonation shock wave propagation in plain 2-D
channel for the three polydisperse mixtures was carried out and data on
detonation regimes was also obtained.

Published: April 2019

Os conselhos gestores, estimulados após a promulgação Constituição de 1988, devem ser ancorados na democracia e na efetiva deliberação participativa. O presente artigo objetiva identificar a presença dos Critérios de Cidadania Deliberativa e Gestão Social no Conselho Municipal de Trânsito, Transportes e Segurança de Gurupi (COMTTSG), criado em 27 de março de 2015 pela Lei Municipal n° 2.206, como órgão de controle social de gestão das políticas de trânsito do Município. A metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa foi análise qualitativa, baseada em observações em reuniões do COMTTSG; sete entrevistas semiestruturadas; e questionários com o mesmo público. Verificou-se que apesar de algumas fragilidades quanto às dimensões da Cidadania Deliberativa e da Gestão Social dispostas neste trabalho, os números dos acidentes de trânsito demonstram que mudanças estão ocorrendo no município, o que pode demonstrar que efetivas ações no gerenciamento das políticas públicas no âmbito do trânsito de Gurupi estão em curso.

Estado Neoliberal y des ciudadanización
Authors: Moreno Hernández Hugo César
Published: April 2019

El objetivo principal del artículo es discutir la noción de desciudadanización a través de las aportaciones de Giorgio Agamben y Achille Mbembe observando los procesos de ilegalización de la migración y la criminalización de sectores sociales como única herramienta de acercamiento a poblaciones marginadas mediante el análisis de los tres pilares del Estado contemporáneo, según Agamben: el estado de excepción, el campo y la nuda vida, para comprender cómo opera la tanatopolítica. En segunda instancia, se observa, por un lado, la aparición de agentes no estatales que imponen orden y aseguran ganancias económicas ejerciendo necropolítica, por parte, la forma en que las pandillas transnacionales en El Salvador lo hacen en territorios donde se asientan, buscando los puntos en común que permitirán pensar el gobierno privado indirecto como un efecto “natural” del Estado neoliberal, es decir, como resultado de la privatización de la seguridad pública.

Erythropoietin Resistance in Hemodialysis Patients
Authors: Jacović Saša , Jovanović Milena , Hamzagić Nedim , Pavlović Radiša , Petrović Dejan
Published: April 2019

Anemia is defined as blood hemoglobin concentration of less than 120 g/l in women and less than 130 g/l in men. The main cause of the development of anemia in patients treated with regular hemodialysis is the lack of endogenous erythropoietin, and its main clinical consequences are: progressive decline in residual renal function, development of cardiovascular disorders, disorders of cognitive functions and a decrease in the quality of life of these patients. Despite the administration of an appropriate dose of erythropoietin, in 5-10% of patients treated with regular hemodialysis, there is resistance to erythropoietin activity. The main risk factors for the development of resistance to the effects of erythropoietin are: iron deficiency, microinflammation, deficiency of vitamin D, secondary hyperparathyroidism, deficiency of vitamin C, and inadequate hemodialysis. The main side effects of erythropoietin are: hypertension, thrombosis of the vascular approach to hemodialysis, and the red blood cell precursor aplasia in the bone marrow. Early detection and elimination of risk factors, optimization and indi-vidualization of hemodialysis prescription prevent the development of resistance to erythropoietin activity, enable the achievement of target blood hemoglobin, reduce the development of cardiovascular morbidity, and improve the quality of life of these patients.

Influenza is of particular importance because of the pace of epidemics, the extent and number of infected people, and the severity of the side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological and clinical aspects of this disease during the last epidemic in southern Iran.

The present cross-sectional study was performed on the basis of secondary data analysis and information in medical records of patients with acute lower respiratory system infection in hospitals affiliated to Jahrom University of Medical Sciences. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18 using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and logistic regression at 0.05 significance level.

From 1st September 2015 to 20th March 2016, 108 patients with acute lower respiratory tract infection with a mean age of 42.92 ± 19.65 years were admitted to Jahrom hospitals, of which 43 were diagnosed with definite influenza, all of which (100%) had H1N1 type A influenza. There were eight deaths in all, of which five were positive for H1N1, and of these five cases, three cases had delayed diagnosis and treatment, and four cases had underlying diseases. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant relationship between positive H1N1 cases and history of contact with definite influenza, traveling abroad, and clinical symptoms of chills (p < 0.05).

The results of this study showed that 39.81% of the patients with acute lower respiratory tract infections suffered from influenza. Furthermore, the delayed treatment and the underlying diseases were the most important cause of death.

Published: April 2019

The field of biotechnology is large and could be considered tritely as simply the development of technology that is based on biology. It is clear that the concepts of biotechnology can spread to cover many different fields of application and so the future developments in biotechnology will be similarly wide-ranging across many fields of applications. Here we focus onto medical biotechnology and further refine our discussion onto considering aspects of genetics and nanotechnologies that could impact on the development of future biotechnologies in the medical field. These areas that we consider in this brief article provide the basis for a panel discussion on Future Biotechnology at the European Biotechnology Congress held in Valencia, Spain in April 2019.

Authors: Onoja Samuel O. , Onyebuchi Glory C. , Ijeh Ifeoma I. , Ezeja Maxwell I.
Published: April 2019

This study evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of Helianthus annuus Linn. in rats. Methanol extract of Helianthus annuus (HAE) leaf was used in this study. Formalin- and egg-albumin induced-paw edema were used to investigate the anti-inflammatory activities while acetic acid-induced writhing reflex and tail flick models were used to evaluate the analgesic properties. The doses of HAE used were 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) was used as reference drug in the anti-inflammatory and writhing reflex models while pentazocine (reference drug) was used in tail flick model. The negative control was dosed 5% tween-20 (10 ml/kg). The HAE exhibited significant (P < 0.05) dose-dependent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. At 3 hour (h) post treatment, the HAE (300 mg/kg) produced 33.33% and 32.94% while ASA produced 36.36% and 35.29% reduction in paw volume in the formalin and egg-albumin induced paw edema models respectively when compared with negative control. In the acetic acid-induced writhing reflex, ASA and HAE (600 mg/kg) produced 67.89% and 35.78% reduction in the number of writhing, respectively when compared with the negative control. Pentazocine and HAE (300 mg/kg) caused 67.62% and 35.24% increase in pain reaction time when compared with the negative control. The study affirms the folkloric uses of Helianthus annuus in the management of pain and inflammation.

Authors: Wipulanusat Warit , Panuwatwanich Kriengsak , Stewart Rodney A. , Sunkpho Jirapon
Published: April 2019

The purpose of this paper was to identify common themes from archival records related to innovation in the Australian Public Service (APS). A thematic analysis was conducted to review and evaluate archival records which consisted of transcripts from senior manager presentations at Innovation Month seminars from 2014 to 2018 and other related official documents. This empirical study addressed innovation from the leaders’ perspective, reflecting upon their experience. Analysing themes within archival records helped to gain insights from various perspectives of leaders on how they regard an innovation agenda for the APS. Three themes emerged from archival records: (1) innovation characteristics; (2) drivers of innovation; and (3) barriers to innovation. Synthesis of these drivers and barriers can provide important insights for senior APS managers on how they can enhance their organisations’ ability to innovate in order to respond to digital disruption challenges and opportunities. Variety of perspectives with leader’s perceptions informs about authors’ selection of the research question among consistent patterns and legitimates the salient themes as input for QSR NVivo 11.
An analysis into early customer experiences of self-service checkouts: Lessons for improved usability
Authors: Turner Jason J , Szymkowiak Andrea
Published: April 2019

The research aims to examine the perceptions of relative novice users of self-service checkouts (SSCOs) and if these perceptions change before, during and following use. Employing a diary approach with 31 respondents relatively unfamiliar with SSCOs, the research will document their experiences with this technology across stationary, hardware and grocery stores in two Scottish cities (Glasgow and Dundee). Findings suggest that the majority of respondents were motivated to use the technology because of time saving and convenience. However, the actual experience of using SSCOs was not always considered quicker when compared to staffed checkouts because of technical issues, lack of staff assistance and the impersonal, sometimes stressful and controlled nature of the cramped SSCO environment. Following post-use reflections, the majority of respondents’ opinions did not change from their initial perceptions and indicated that they would prefer not to use the technology in the future. Based on the findings, this study makes some practical suggestions centring on the design and usability of SSCOs, which may go some way to reducing customer dissatisfaction and frustration with the technology, especially from the perspective of new users of the technology.
Effects of radiopharmaceuticals on articular cartilage’s mechanical properties
Authors: Kuzu Nihal , Cicek Ekrem
Published: April 2019

As radiation science and technology advances, nuclear medicine applications are increasing worldwide which necessitate the understanding of biological implications of such practices. Ionizing radiation has been shown to cause degraded matrix and reduced proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage, and the late consequences of which may include degenerative arthritis or arthropathy. Although degenerative effects of the ionizing radiation on cartilage tissue have been demonstrated, the effects on the mechanical properties of articular cartilage are largely unknown. The radiopharmaceuticals, technetium-99m and technetium-99m sestamibi, were utilized on bovine articular cartilage to investigate these effects. We used two different mechanical tests to determine the mechanical properties of articular cartilage. Dynamic and static mechanical tests were applied to calculate compressive modulus for articular cartilage. We observed clearly higher control modulus values than that of experimental groups which account for lesser stiffness in the exposed cartilage. In conclusion, compressive moduli of bovine articular cartilage were found to decrease after radiopharmaceutical exposure, after both instantaneous and equilibrium mechanical experiments.

This study aims at investigating the potential of Acacia gerrardii pod for the removal of Cr(VI) in batch system. Effect of solution pH, biosorbent dosage, initial concentration of Cr(VI), contact time on the removal process was examined. Complete removal of hexavalent chromium was achieved at pH values 1.0 and 2.0 whereas maximum removal of total chromium was obtained at pH of 3.0. The study showed that the biosorption and bioreduction mechanisms were involved in the removal process. The time required for complete removal of Cr(VI) using the pod of Acacia gerrardii was shortened with an increase in biomaterial dosage and decrease in Cr(VI) concentration. Kinetic data was well described using Park kinetic model. Freundlich isotherm model adequately fitted the equilibrium data indication multilayer adsorption of total chromium on the surface of biomaterial. The pod of Acacia gerrardii could be used efficiently for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions.

Nasal mucosal brushing as a diagnostic method for allergic rhinitis
Authors: Hamizan Aneeza , Alvarado Raquel , Rimmer Janet , Sewell William A. , Barham Henry P. , Kalish Larry , Harvey Richard
Published: April 2019

Background: Allergen specific immunoglobulin E (spIgE) in the nasal mucosa is a biomarker for local allergic rhinitis. Inferior turbinate tissue biopsy is a sensitive method to detect nasal spIgE but is invasive. Nasal brushing is a relatively noninvasive method to detect
nasal spIgE that may be of comparable diagnostic utility. Objective: To assess the performance of nasal brushing to obtain a nasal spIgE sample compared with an inferior turbinate tissue biopsy among patients who underwent turbinate surgery. Methods: A
diagnostic cross-sectional study that involved participants who were undergoing turbinate surgery was performed. Nasal brushing, inferior turbinate tissue biopsy, blood collection, and skin-prick test (SPT) were performed perioperatively and tested for house-dust allergens. A receiver operating
curve was used to assess the performance of the nasal brushings to obtain nasal spIgE samples compared with the inferior turbinate tissue biopsy. The diagnostic utility of nasal brushings of spIgE compared with serum spIgE testing and SPT was also assessed. Results: A total
of 157 patients (41.61 ± 14.83 years; 37.6% women) were included. Nasal brushing was an excellent method to sample for nasal spIgE compared with inferior turbinate tissue biopsy (Area under curve (AUC) 0.87 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.81‐0.93], p < 0.01). Positive house-dust
allergen spIgE results of nasal brushings was defined as > 0.1 kUA/L. Nasal brushings for spIgE sampling was also able to predict the presence of serum spIgE (AUC 0.93 [95% CI, 0.89‐0.97], p < 0.01) and SPT (AUC 0.80 [95% CI, 0.72‐0.87], p < 0.01). Conclusion:
Nasal brushing constituted an easy and relatively noninvasive method to sample nasal epithelium. This sampling technique was comparable with an inferior turbinate tissue biopsy and may be developed as a diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of local allergic rhinitis.
Device mechanics and evaluation of inspiratory flow rate required of the beclomethasone dipropionate breath-actuated inhaler
Authors: Mansfield Lyndon E. , Hampel Frank C. , Sfeir Bernard , Small Calvin J. , Walsh Declan , Dunphy Louise
Published: April 2019

Background: Approximately 80% of patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease incorrectly use a metered-dose inhaler and, therefore, fail to obtain full benefit from their inhaler medication. Beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) hydrofluoroalkane, an inhalation
aerosol administered via a breath-actuated inhaler (BAI) has been designed to improve ease of use over press-and-breathe metered-dose inhalers by eliminating the need for hand-breath coordination. Objective: To present the mechanics of the BAI device, assess the
minimum reliable inspiratory flow rate required to trigger an actuation, and evaluate if intended users can safely and effectively use the BDP BAI according to the instructions for use (IFU). Methods: Six random batches (three batches each of 40 μg and 80 μg) of 10
inhalers were evaluated for the minimum inspiratory flow rate required for actuation trigger. Each inhaler was tested for actuation at five flow rates: 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 L/min. Simulated-use testing was conducted with 91 participants from six representative user groups in the United States
to assess the use of a placebo-filled production-equivalent BDP BAI according to the IFU. Results: Across the 40-μg batches, 83% of the devices actuated at 16 L/min and 100% actuated at 18 and 20 L/min. For the 80-μg batches, 67% and 100% actuated at 18 L/min and
20 L/min, respectively. All the participants demonstrated successful use of the BDP BAI during the study session. Isolated safety-critical errors with the potential for no-dose delivery were recorded for 15 participants but were considered unrelated to the design of the IFU. Conclusion:
The BDP BAI consistently triggered actuation at an airflow rate of 20 L/min and was successfully used based on guidance from the IFU only. This device provides an alternative for patients who find it difficult to use metered-dose inhaler devices correctly.

Authors: Ellis Alysa G. , Henry Lisa D. , Meadows Lisa A. , Roehm Beth L. , Mahl Christina S. , Loman Deborah G.
Published: April 2019

Background: The St. Louis Children's Hospital Healthy Kids Express Asthma (HKEA) program was developed to improve asthma control in children who attend schools with the highest asthma prevalence in the metropolitan area. The HKEA program differs from other programs because
unscheduled visits occur at school without parents present. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the HKEA program via a retrospective quality assurance study. Methods: A chart review was performed to evaluate the change in health-care utilization,
absenteeism, staff and student education, inhaler technique checks, and parent satisfaction surveys before and after participation in the program. The Wilcoxon signed rank test, two-way analysis of variance, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results:
The HKEA program recruited 1076 participants ages 5‐15 years during 3 school years, from 2008 to 2011. The participants showed a reduction in emergency department visits (36.9% to 14.2%) and hospitalizations (7.1% to 5.0%) from the year before beginning the program to the third
year of the program. Absenteeism was significantly improved, from 59.1% to 27.1%. Staff and student knowledge of asthma improved significantly after completing asthma education programs. More than 90% of participants completed three technique checks of their inhaler and spacer technique and
showed significant improvement in their tech check (an inhaler/aero chamber technique check) scores. Parent satisfaction with the HKEA program was rated excellent or very good by 96.9% of the parents. Conclusion: The HKEA program is a novel school-based asthma clinic that
is well accepted by parents, and results in less health-care utilization and school absences as well as improved asthma knowledge in participants and the school staff.

The Reconstruction of Village Governance Towards Good Governance (Study in Kalianda District, South Lampung Regency)
Authors: Pane Erina
Published: April 2019

The reconstruction of village governance begins with the promulgation of the village law to protect and empower villages to become strong, advanced, independent and democratic. This paradigmatic law to bring the changes to village governance at the regional government level. The construction of the autonomy of the village law places village arrangements as part of the concept of decentralisation and village autonomy. These changes have implications for the shift in position, extent of authority, power relations and implementation of financial policies between villages and local governments. This study used a normative-empirical approach. The results of the study showed that the implementation of the reconstruction of village governance requires a unified understanding of village government officials, village community organisations, community leaders and religious leaders regarding the principles of participation, transparency, and accountability to increase community enthusiasm, motivation and creativity in village development.

Are Stability and Instability Relevant Concepts for Back Pain?
Authors: Reeves N. Peter , Cholewicki Jacek , van Dieën Jaap H. , Kawchuk Greg , Hodges Paul W.
Published: April 2019

Synopsis

Individuals with back pain are often diagnosed with spine instability, even though it is unclear whether the spine is susceptible to unstable behavior. The spine is a complex system with many elements that cannot be directly observed, which makes the study of spine function and direct assessment of spine instability difficult. What is known is that trunk muscle activation is adjusted to meet stability demands, which highlights that the central nervous system closely monitors threats to spine stability. The spine appears to be protected by neural coupling and mechanical coupling that prevent erroneous motor control from producing segmental instability; however, this neural and mechanical coupling could be problematic in an injured spine. Finally, instability traditionally contemplated from a mechanical and control perspective could potentially be applied to study processes involved in pain sensitization, and possibly back pain that is iatrogenic in nature. This commentary argues for a more contemporary and broadened view of stability that integrates interdisciplinary knowledge in order to capture the complexity of back pain.

Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are the causes of coronary heart disease (CHD) so that the presence of hypercholesterolemia in patients with hypertension will increase the risk of CHD. Central obesity describes the accumulation of fat in the stomach which can lead to abnormalities in the amount of lipids in the blood, when it occurs in patients with hypertension can lead to progression of the occurrence of high blood cholesterol and the risk of causing atherosclerosis and heart disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of waist circumference and other factors with the incidence of hypercholesterolemia in patients with hypertension. This research is a quantitative study through secondary data with Cross Sectional design. According to the results of multivariate tests with multiple logistic regression, there was a relationship between waist circumference, gender and age after being controlled by physical activity variables. Gender as a risk factor most associated with the incidence of hypercholesterolemia with a risk 8.5 times higher in women than men, then carried out waist circumference stratification test by sex in hypertensive patients with cases of central obesity found a significant relationship that women with central obesity have a risk of experiencing hypercholesterolemia as much as 5.5 times compared to central obesity in men with a value of p <0.05. There is a waist circumference relationship with the incidence of hypercholesterolemia in women who are central obesity more at risk of developing hypercholesterolemia than central obesity in men.

Controlling Thermal Stability and Volatility of Organogold(I) Compounds for Vapor Deposition with Complementary Ligand Design
Authors: Griffiths Matthew , Dubrawski Zachary , Bačić Goran , Masuda Jason , Japahuge Achini , Zeng Tao , Barry Sean
Published: April 2019

We compare and contrast the volatility and thermal stability of a family of twelve organometallic gold(I) compounds using a combination of X-ray crystallography, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and density functional theory (DFT) techniques. Pentafluorophenyl is used as a new ligand for vapor deposition which produces rather low volatility, but very thermally stable compounds when combined with PMe3 and N,N'-di-tert-butylimidazolidin-2-ylidene. We introduce a precursor figure of merit that can be used to rank precursor usefulness. Using DFT, we find a linear correlation between Au-L bond strength and thermal stability, which demonstrates the power of computational techniques to predict successful synthetic targets for future precursor design studies.

A IDENTIDADE DA DISCIPLINA FILOSOFIA E DO DOCENTE NO CURRÍCULO DO ENSINO MÉDIO
Authors: Pereira Geraldo Adriano Emery , Freitas Isabel Thereza de Holanda , Moreira João Vitor Freitas , Lopes Partrícia Pontes
Published: April 2019

O trabalho é um exercício de pensamento referente ao lugar da filosofia no currículo do ensino médio. A investigação considera a recente presença da filosofia como disciplina obrigatória em todas as séries da escola média brasileira. Assim, a condição curricular, e o próprio lugar do docente são ainda uma lacuna a ser preenchida. Para essa “atividade” as provocações de Hannah Arendt e de Gilles Deleuze figuram como o solo conceitual da reflexão.O exercício intelectual de Arendt sobre o “vazio de pensamento” e sua rigorosa análise sobre a faculdade de pensar articuladas com as provocações de Deleuze quanto a compreensão da filosofia como uma “produtora” e articuladora de conceitos, ditaram o caminho que sugere ser a filosofia, enquanto “disciplina”, um parar para pensar como forma de contrapor o pensar ao fluxo laboral de consumo de conteúdos da escola média. Aqui a filosofia enquanto disciplina é uma contemplação tão ativa quanto a ação.

Authors: Oliveira Paula Ramos de
Published: April 2019

Há muitos modos de se tratar a formação do professor, mas entre as concepções dominantes em relação à formação em geral está a ideia de que há alguém que forma o outro por meio de determinados conteúdos que integram um currículo. Nesse artigo nos propomos a discutir aspectos da formação do professor de filosofia destacando a experiência subjetiva que também integra, ao lado de dimensões mais objetivas, o ato de ser professor e de ser aluno, valorizando em ambos o curriculum vitae que está sempre em construção nesse processo a que damos o nome de formação.
