Implications of globalisation for the public relations practice
Authors: Jansoozi Julia , Koper Eric
Published: January 2017

This discussion paper explores the concept of globalisation, the impact of globalisation on culture, and the implications for public relations practitioners. Globalisation, viewed from a narrow perspective, may lead to a certain amount of global ‘sameness’. In other aspects, ethnic and cultural identities are getting stronger; the reverse of what subscribers to the notion of Western cultural imperialism expect. For public relations practitioners in the field of international public relations there are many implications that at first might not be recognized if the simplistic view that globalisation leads to a homogenized global culture is adhered to.

Authors: Diliz-Nava H S , Pérez-Juárez F , Araujo-Martínez A , García-Benítez L , Tamariz-Cruz O , Palacios-Macedo-Quenot A
Published: January 2017

ANTECEDENTES: el reemplazo valvular mitral en pediatría es un procedimiento raro asociado con dificultades técnicas y clínicas únicas. Estudios recientes reportan mejores resultados, a corto y largo plazo, posteriores al procedimiento. OBJETIVO: analizar la experiencia del reemplazo valvular mitral en el Instituto Nacional de Pediatría. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: se revisaron los expedientes de los pacientes con reemplazo valvular mitral, en el Instituto Nacional de Pediatría, entre agosto del 2002 y agosto del 2012. Las variables de evaluación primaria fueron mortalidad, complicaciones de la anticoagulación y resultados a largo plazo. Se incluyó a doce pacientes, con mediana de edad de 12.5 años (tres pacientes menores de 5 años).RESULTADOS: en 11 casos la anomalía mitral fue considerada congénita. La manifestación clínica más frecuente fue insuficiencia mitral. La mediana de la fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo fue de 62% antes de la cirugía. Se colocó prótesis mecánica en 11 casos. Dos pacientes fallecieron en el postoperatorio inmediato, con supervivencia a 30 días de 83%, sin reporte de ninguna muerte en el periodo de seguimiento. Un paciente presentó sangrado de  tubo digestivo leve y dos arritmia auricular. No se reportaron eventos tromboembólicos ni necesidad de nueva intervención. La mediana del tiempo de seguimiento fue de 16.6 meses. CONCLUSIÓN: en nuestras condiciones el reemplazo valvular mitral parece ser una buena opción para los pacientes que no pueden beneficiarse de la reparación, con resultados aceptables a corto y mediano plazos.

Efecto combinado de los cambios de salinidad y la exposición al cadmio en las respuestas fisiológicas de Isognomon alatus (Bivalvia: Isognomonidae)
Authors: Polo-Osorio Juan Manuel , Campos Néstor Hernando
Published: January 2017

Se evaluó el efecto combinado de los cambios de salinidad y la exposición al cadmio en las respuestas fisiológicas de Isognomon alatus, especie con potencial biomonitor por su abundancia y resistencia a los cambios de salinidad, temperatura y pH. Se recolectaron 200 individuos que se separaron en el laboratorio en tres grupos y se aclimataron durante un mes en condiciones de salinidad de 36, 27 y 18 UPS, respectivamente. Posteriormente, los individuos se trasladaron en grupos de cinco según el nivel de salinidad a tres tanques con condiciones salinas de 36, 27 y 18 UPS; en cada experimento se aplicaron dos choques salinos y un control de salinidad. El experimento para determinar el efecto del cadmio se realizó una vez con agua libre de metales y otra con una concentración no letal de 1 μg/L de cloruro de cadmio. Se evaluaron las diferencias entre las respuestas fisiológicas con base en las tasas de filtración, respiración y de excreción de amonio, comparando los controles y los tratamientos. Los resultados evidenciaron diferencias tanto en los efectos individuales de los choques salinos como frente a la exposición al cadmio; asimismo, se observó un efecto sinérgico importante, que permitió concluir que la respuesta de la especie como biomonitor depende de las condiciones de salinidad del ecosistema y sus dinámicas. © 2016.

Conservación ex situ de Puya loca Madriñan (Bromeliaceae) y registro de una segunda localidad en los páramos de Colombia
Authors: Pico-V Adriana
Published: January 2017

Puya loca Madriñan fue descrita en el año 2015 y hasta ahora se ha encontrado en dos localidades de los páramos de la cordillera Oriental de Colombia: la primera, en el complejo de páramos de Chingaza (localidad del tipo), al nororiente de Bogotá, y la segunda corresponde a un nuevo registro en el municipio de Chipaque, al suroriente de Bogotá. Esta especie se desarrolla sobre suelos bien drenados, en grietas de roca con poco sustrato o sobre plantas no vasculares, en plena exposición al sol y el viento. Con la finalidad de conservar la variabilidad genética de la especie en condiciones ex situ y, posteriormente, in situ, se evaluaron las condiciones naturales del hábitat de la localidad en Chipaque y se desarrollaron experimentos de propagación ex situ en el Jardín Botánico de Bogotá (JBB). Asimismo, se estudió la viabilidad mediante los porcentajes de germinación y durante 1,3 años los rasgos de crecimiento y desarrollo de las plántulas. En P. loca la germinación está regulada por la luz (especie fotoblástica positiva), y las semillas, con 14 meses de conservación en condiciones naturales, germinaron ex situ entre los 19 y 30 días de la siembra (75 % de germinación). Las plántulas de 35 días desarrollaron una o dos hojas y a los 61 días presentaban entre dos y tres hojas. Con 15 meses de edad, las plántulas sembradas en 6 cm de turba desarrollaron cinco a siete hojas y alcanzaron 6 a 7 cm de diámetro, en tanto que las plántulas sembradas en 2,5 a 3 cm de turba desarrollaron cuatro a seis hojas y alcanzaron 3 a 4 cm de diámetro, con un crecimiento de menor vigor. Actualmente se conservan 100 plántulas para el estudio ex situ del ciclo de la especie, que, eventualmente, se reintroducirán en su hábitat natural. © 2016. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat.
Consideraciones históricas y físicas sobre la altura del salto del Tequendama con los datos de Humboldt
Authors: Mantilla Ignacio , Ochoa Fredy , Martinez Roberto
Published: January 2017

Se hizo una revisión histórica de los datos reportados por Humboldt para medir la altura del salto del Tequendama mediante el cálculo de la caída de los cuerpos “graves” usando el tiempo de caída e introduciendo diversas correcciones. En condiciones ideales, se verificó que el cálculo coincidía con el valor reportado por Humboldt. Teniendo en cuenta el tiempo que tarda el sonido en regresar a la cima después de que el objeto llega al fondo de la cascada, se obtuvo un error adicional en la medición, lo cual concuerda hasta en una desviación estándar con los datos actuales. Al considerar el efecto de rozamiento del aire sobre el objeto en un régimen turbulento, la estimación se acercó más a las mediciones recientes. © 2016. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat.
Estrategias de investigación para el tratamiento de Alzheimer con antioxidantes polifenólicos
Authors: Sierra Ligia
Published: January 2017

Esta revisión comprende una descripción de los mecanismos propuestos para explicar el desarrollo de la enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) y de las estrategias para su  tratamiento a la luz de estos mecanismos, enfatizando la utilización de compuestos polifenólicos como agentes terapéuticos. Se analizan los efectos de especies reactivas de oxígeno ROS y presencia de metales redox en el desarrollo de EA y las estrategias de tratamiento, basadas en la actividad antioxidante y quelante de un medicamento y en sus alcances a través de vías de señalización. Dada la importancia de los polifenoles tipo flavonoides para el tratamiento de EA, se tienen en cuenta ejemplos con el flavonoide (-)-epigalocatequin-3-galato (EGCG), perteneciente a la familia de las catequinas. Es importante estudiar como intervienen los polifenoles a nivel celular (rol de su estructura química en la interacción con la célula y en su actividad biológica) con el fin de modular la interacción y las vías de señalización para lograr los efectos neurotróficos esperados. Los efectos in vitro, frecuentemente no corresponden a aquellos in vivo, dado que diferencias en concentraciones y condiciones de estudio hacen que las actividades química y biológica de un medicamento varíen. Esto puede ser debido en parte a la necesidad de un ajuste en concentraciones y tiempo entre los estudios pre clínicos  y clínicos. Por otra parte, métodos de liberación eficientes deben ser investigados, teniendo en cuenta que un agente terapéutico para enfermedades neurológicas debería cruzar la barrera sanguínea-cerebral. La nanotecnología basada en sistemas de liberación controlada de medicamentos puede superar estas limitaciones. © 2016. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat.
Na nascente das ideias do discurso, da gramática funcional comunicativa – obras missionárias (J. De anchieta, L. Figueira, T. Estêvão) e de B. Pereira
Authors: Kosarik Marina A.
Published: January 2017

RESUMO:

Nas gramáticas dos séculos XVI e XVII criadas com os fins de ensinar a falar nas reais situações de comunicação achamos os primeiros sianais de atenção à problemática do discurso, que antecipam algumas noções expostas em gramáticas funcionais só nos fins do século XX e o início do século XXI, combinando a atenção à sintaxe (ao nível da oração e, saido do limite da oração isolada, ao diálogo), à semântica e a pragmática. Anchieta, Figueira, Estêvão и Pereira prestam atenção aos meios de organizar o discurso dialogal, meios de expressividade, marcadores que mostram a atitude para com o interlocutor ou para com o tema de comunicacão, meios de características sociais dos participantes da comunicação.

Escrita vs fala: questionando a visão representacionista
Authors: De Barros Barreto Cristiano Mahaut
Published: January 2017

RESUMO:

Este artigo objetiva explorar a possibilidade de uma relação entre a escrita e a fala enquanto dois sistemas interdependentes. Partimos da hipótese de que a visão representacionista, que considera a escrita subordinada à fala, é prevalente nos estudos formais sobre a linguagem, sustentando-se, entretanto, sobre pressupostos frágeis e movediços. Afiliado à abordagem wittgensteiniana, o artigo recusa-se a oferecer uma alternativa teórica acabada, optando por movimentos fragmentários e oferecendo “colagens” e impressões sobre o tema da escrita. Desta forma, sugerimos três abordagens alternativas que, a despeito de suas amplas diferenças, colocam em cheque a tese da heteronomia da escrita.

Published: January 2017

A plus maze arrangement was set at the Rodent Control Centre, Morogoro, Tanzania to investigate the rat behavior when subjected to maize seeds dressed with crude extracts of Lantana camara leaves (200 g), Ricinus communis seeds (150 g) and Euphorbia candelabrum latex (300 ml). The choice and no-choice test were set using a group of ten rats (5M+ 5F) in five plastic buckets. Each plastic bucket was fixed with RECONIX camera trap on top for picture capturing. Animals were provided with drinking water at the center bucket. In each experiment observation was made for four consecutive days where maize damaged seed, rat activities type (feeding, walking, resting, playing, sentry, grooming, biting others and approaching food) data were daily recorded. Results revealed that there was significant difference (p=0.00001) in maize damaged seed between treatments. With regards to nocturnal behavior, significant difference between treated and control on L. camara leaf (p=0.01301) and R. communis seed (p less than 0.00001) with no significant effect on E. candelabrum latex (p=0.93254) was observed.
“Authors are grateful to the financial support provided by the Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), Tanzania that enabled accomplishment of this work.”
No significant difference between treatments on the proportion of rat pictures approaching food (p=0.64821), biting each other (p = 0.91205), grooming (p=0.59964), feeding (p=0.27042), playing (p=0.36140), sentry (p=0.819821) and walking (p=0.06749). However, there was a significant difference on resting (p=0.02998). In general, this study recommends the use of R. communis for management of M. natalensis in maize farming system due low number of maize damaged seeds. However, several key questions remain, the most urgent being to extract the active compounds responsible for efficacy against rodent pest.

Implementation of 4X4 Embedded Logic Memory for High Speed Applications
Authors: Janwadkar Sudhanshu , Kolte Mahesh T.
Published: January 2017

With increasing complexity of data processing applications, there is a huge demand for high storage compact memories. It is highly desirable that memories have low access time and consume less power. Processing of data along with parallel memory storage has proved to be more efficient than serial operation. One such approach to paralleling processing is the concept of Embedded Memories. By inserting the logic within architecture of the flip-flop, the chip area can be reduced. Also, through means of Conditional Shut-down, the power consumption can be reduced.
In this paper, we propose a modified dual dynamic hybrid node Embedded Logic D-Flip flop architecture. The work is based on DSCH 3.5 and Microwind 3.5 tools. We have simulated the design for 90nm, 65nm and 45nm technology respectively. Compared to the previous architectures, we have obtained a reduction in propagation delay by 15.38% and reduction in power consumption by 32.69%. Further, we have designed a 4X4 memory using our proposed Embedded Logic Flip Flop. The embedded memory finds applications in highly complex data processing applications, scan test circuits etc

The consumption pattern of rural population can be broadly classified as consumer goods and agricultural inputs. But at the same time, due to vastness of the country it possesses some challenges in the form of cultural, lingual and religious diversity. The present paper discusses the various opportunities and challenges in rural marketing in Indian context.
Permanent Mould Thin Slab Casting and Heat Tretment of 8% Chromium Cold Work Tool Steel (AISI DC 53)
Authors: Çardaklı İsmail Seçkin , Kalkanlı Ali
Published: January 2017

In this study, an alternative method to conventional production methods involving thin section copper permanent mould casting (rapid solidification), hot rolling and heat treatment processes to manufacture AISI DC 53 cold work tool steel, has been investigated. In this new method, solidification of the AISI DC 53 was done in the thin section copper mould instead of traditional ingot casting. After solidification, thin slabs obtained was homogenized to 1150 oC and hold at this temperature for one hour and then hot rolling was be applied. During hot rolling process, about % 30 reduction in thickness of slab was obtained. After hot rolling, heat treatment (austenitizing, quenching and tempering) have been applied to thin slab. The samples have been taken as cast, as rolled and as heat treated (austenitized and tempered) and the microstructural analysis, hardness tests, retained austenite quantity measurement by XRD method have been performed. The heat treatment and tests have been performed for a commercially available AISI DC 53 which is manufactured by thick section ingot casting and rolling. Hardness values of the AISI DC 53 steels produced by traditional route is in the range of 52-54 HRC after austenitization at 1025 oC for one hour and quenched in compressed air and tempered twice at 525 oC for 120 mins. On contrary the permanent mould cast AISI DC 53 after homogenization at 1150 oC and immediately hot rolling then air cooling and austenitized at 1025 oC for one hour then quenched by compressed air and tempered twice at 525 oC for 120 mins have hardness valeus in the range of 55-57 HRC. Experiments have revealed that the properties of new rapid solidified steel in permanent copper mould are better than the commercially available steel and have a more refined microstructure than commercially produces alternative. Therefore, the new proposed method can be used as an alternative manufacturing method for cold-work tool steels.

CUSTOMIZED ACETABULAR COMPONENTS IN REVISION HIP ARTHROPLASTY
Authors: Kavalersky G. M. , Murylev V. Yu. , Rukin Y. A. , Lychagin A. V. , Elizarov P. M.
Published: January 2017

In recent years, there is a trend of increasing demand for revision hip arthroplasty. Among these patients there are many with complex acetabular defects, including patients with pelvic discontinuity. To ensure stability for revised acetabular components in such cases becomes a challenging or unachievable task. Such defects give indications for printing customized tri-flange acetabular component. The authors analysed own experience of creating and applying custom made acetabular components in 3 patients with complex acetabular defects. Material and methods. Among the patients there were 2 women and 1 man. Average age was 60,3±19,4 years (38 to 78 years). Two patients had III B defects with pelvic discontinuity and one patient had III A defect by Paprosky classification. As the first step, the authors in collaboration with engineers printed a plaster full size pelvic 3D model, as the second step a customized tri-flange acetabular component was designed and printed. Harris Hip Score was evaluated preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. Results. Average follow-up period was 5,3±2,5 months (3 to 8 months). The authors observed no cases of implant loosening, dislocation or deep periprosthetic infection. Average Harris Hip Score before surgery was 27,13 and after surgery – 74,1 indicating a significant improvement in 3 months postoperatively. Conclusion. Indications for use of individual acetabular components in reported patients correspond to indications formulated by Berasi et al. The authors obtained encouraging early follow-up outcomes that correspond to data of other authors. In one patient certain difficulties were reported due to insufficient pelvic distraction. Component’s flanges prevented achieving adequate pelvic distraction. Nevertheless, good primary stability was achieved. Modern software and 3D metal printers can significantly reduce the production cost of customized acetabular components. Application of this technology can be widened to various orthopaedic centres and will undoubtedly improve the quality of treatment for such patients.

Published: January 2017

Purpose – to develop a comprehensive physio- and functional treatment with biological response method to improve rehabilitation outcomes in patients after hip joint arthroplasty. Materials and methods. The study included 154 patients who underwent hip joint arthroplasty. All patients were divided in two groups – test group (82 patients) and control group (72 patients). In addition to conventional rehabilitation the patients of the test group underwent 10-12 procedures using biological response equipment. Outcomes were evaluated by clinical examination (VAS pain dynamics, goniometry), functional diagnostics (EMG), biomechanical examination (stability) as well as life quality assessment by SF-36. Patients were followed up to one year. results. In result of the study the authors observed regress in complaints and clinical symptoms in patients of both groups. VAS evaluation demonstrated that in the test group pain decrease was more significant (at 15-20% at various time stages), was reported earlier (5,0±0,9 days) and persisted during the follow up period. ROM increase of operated hip in the test group was 15-20% higher than in control group according to goniometry analysis. Patients of both groups demonstrated increased range and frequency of biopotential in examined muscles as well as a reduced displacement of gravity center of the body. However, a larger degree of above changes was observed in patients of the test group following biological response procedures that provide for exercise of affected muscles as well as for antagonistic muscles. Life quality improvement was faster in patients of the test group. Conclusion. The authors reported correlating results of clinical and biomechanical examinations, electromyography and life quality assessments that altogether prove efficiency and prospects of presented comprehensive rehabilitation treatment utilizing biological response method in patients after hip joint arthroplasty.

Introduction. Hip dislocation is the key problem in patients with severe cerebral palsy (GMFCS IV, V) older than 10 years that affects life quality and limits functional capabilities. In the present study the authors evaluated the efficiency of the proximal femoral resection arthroplasty (pfra) and valgus proximal osteotomy of the femur (VPOF) associated with femoral head resection for pain control, improvement of postural management, hygiene and verticalization with total weight-bearing and correction of accompanying orthopaedic deformities. Material and мethods. A retrospective study compared two groups of patients where PFRA (7 cases, 13 hips) or VPOF (14 patients, 23 hips) were performed. Level V of GMFCS was reported in 10 patients, and level IV of GMFCS – in 11 patients. The mean age at time of surgery was 15.3±3.9 y.o. PFRA was performed in 7 cases (13 joints) and VPOF – in 14 patients (23 joints). Results. The authors did not observe any difference between the methods in respect of pain control, postural management, comfortable sitting position and hygiene. The verticalization with total weight-bearing and life quality improvement was achieved only after PVOF with femoral head resection associated with simultaneous knee and foot deformity correction performed according to the principles of Single-Event Multilevel Orthopedic Surgery. Conclusion. Both palliative methods allow to control pain syndrome, to achieve satisfactory postural management, comfortable sitting position and hygiene. But only VPOF with simultaneous knee and foot deformity correction provides possibility to verticalize the patient with weight-bearing using different orthopedic devices.

Purpose – to study histomorphometric characteristics and pathogenic mechanism of peroneal nerve neuropathy in experimental lower leg lengthening by one millimeter per day in four increments. Methods. The authors performed lengthening of lower leg in 12 adult mongrel dogs at 14-15% of initial length by Ilizarov technique. 28 days after the leg distraction, 30 days after its fixation in the device and 30 days after the Ilizarov fixator dismounting the authors withdrew the animals from the experiment. Peroneal nerve portions were examined using light microscopy, histomorphometry of the full-color images of the giant epoxy semifine sections stained with methylene blue and diamond fuchsin. Results. Planimetric investigation demonstrated 15% decrease (p0.05) in the total area of nerve fiber bundles after distraction confirming transverse contraction of intrafascicular content. Fibrosis, increased cellularity of epineurium as well as the decrease in adipocyte number and size was observed in result of distraction and fixation. Neuropathy of the peroneal nerve was observed in one of the 12 animals – more than 80% of myelinated fibers demonstrated destructive changes, the large arteries of epineurium demonstrated obliterated lumina, part of arteries had necrobiotic changes in the cellular elements of the walls. In the remaining animals the proportion of the transformed myelinated fibers in the experiment time frame amounted to 6.0±1.4%, 4.3±1.3% and 4.2±0.4% (normally: 1.9±0.3%), no marked vascular damage was observed, the number of epineural vascular modules increased up to 6.0±1.5 (contralaterally – up to 4.0±1.6), the number of endoneural microvessels was increased at 35.5%, 10.9% and 38.9% (p0.05) in respect of intact norm (141.8±8.7 per 1 mm2). Reduced proportion of capillaries with open lumina confirmed vasomotion disorder. The changes analysis in the distribution of myelinated fibers by diameter and mean size indicates the distinct axonal atrophy, deand re-myelinaton. The mean diameter of axons and myelin thickness remained respectively 7% and 14% below normal (p0.05) in 30 days after the fixator dismounting. Conclusion. Good structural preservation of the majority of peroneal nerve fibers during leg lengthening in the manual fractural mode is ensured by integrity and hypervascularization of the nerve membranes. Axonal atrophy and hypomyelination observed in part of the fibers is associated with epineurium thinning due to decreased adipocytes content and their size. Histologically documented neuropathy was observed in one case of twelve along with lumina obliteration of main epineural arteries.

Published: January 2017

Se estudia e ilustra la morfología de polen de los siguientes componentes de la flora del Valle de México: familia Aceraceae representada por Acer negundo L., A. negundo var. mexicanum (DC.) Standl. & Steyerm.; familia Aquifoliaceae por Ilex tolucana Hemsl.; familia Geraniaceae con 2 géneros y 11 especies, a mencionar: Erodium cicutarium (L.) L’Hérit., E. moschatum (L.) L’Hérit., Geranium aristisepalum Moore, G. bellum Rose, G. cruceroense Knuth, G. latum Small, G. lilacinum Knuth, G. lozani Rose, G. potentillaefolium DC., G. schiedeanum Schl. y G. seemanii Peyr. En las Geraniaceae es posible diferenciar por medios palinológicos los taxa a nivel genérico, pero a nivel específico es difícil. En Erodium no se puede separar las dos especies y en Geranium se encuentran dos grupos polínicos con diferencia en la ornamentación: G. lozani, G. potentillaefolium, G. seemannii, G. shiedeanum, G. bellum, G. cruceroense y G. lilacinum presentan granos de polen con báculos de tamaño uniforme y en G. aristisepalum y G. latum se observan báculos de dos tamaños.
El trabajo también se ocupa de la morfología polínica de las familias Resedaceae, representada por Reseda luteola L.; Sabiaceae, por Meliosma dentata (Liebm.) Urban; y Saxifragaceae por Heuchera orizabensis Hemsl., Philadelphus mexicanus Schl., Ribes affine K.B.K., R. ciliatum H.B.K. y R. microphyllum H.B.K.; en esta última familia se pudo observar que el polen de Heuchera y Philadelphus es muy semejante entre sí, a diferencia del de Ribes que muestra poca afinidad con los otros géneros.
Las observaciones de los granos de polen se realizaron con el microscopio de luz y microscopio electrónico de barrido.
Iniciación de conos femeninos en Pinus cembroides Zucc.
Authors: Zavala Chavez Fernando , García Moya Edmundo
Published: January 2017

Se estudiaron las yemas terminales de invierno en Pinus cembroides de las Serranías Meridionales de San Luis Potosí, durante 1985 y 1986, a fin de establecer las fechas de iniciación de primordios de conos femeninos. En 1985, la iniciación fue aproximadamente un mes más tardía que en 1986, lo cual coincidió con el aumento de la precipitación y la disminución de la temperatura en ese año con respecto al promedio de 11 años, de la estación climatológica más cercana al área de estudios (El Peaje). La marcha de la precipitación y la temperatura de 1986 se asemejó más al promedio y por consiguiente se interpreta como la situación más representativa para el área. En 1986 el período de iniciación de primordios de cono en P. cembroides duró de mediados de agosto a fines de septiembre (o principios de octubre). Las fluctuaciones en el comportamiento anual de la precipitación y la temperatura puede provocar cambios en el período de diferenciación de conos.
