Authors: Sancho Céspedes Susana
Published: May 2021

Cuando la expresión “romper el molde” significa ser irrepetible, único. En la industria significa dar un paso atrás, perder la industrialización, perder la seriabilidad, la replicación. Una repetición que la humanidad ha buscado, dentro de la evolución de sus herramientas. Es con la irrupción de la industria, donde encontramos un cambio de paradigma: proteger aquello que produce objetos protegidos.

Una necesaria reflexión sobre el valor fabril, a partir del legado industrial procedente de fábricas de vidrio españolas cerradas a lo largo de todo el SXX. La colección de moldes de la Real Fábrica de Cristales de la Granja de San Ildefonso, es donde se recogen estos testigos de la más exquisita combinación de oficio e industria, la unión del diseño industrial y el arte. Planteando la puesta en valor del molde como patrimonio y generador de patrimonio.

Published: May 2021

Objectives: This study aims to assess the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Sjögren Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) (TR) in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS).

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional survey study design and analysis were used to assess the reliability and validity of the ESSPRI (TR) between March 2019 and July 2019. A total of 30 patients (5 males, 25 females; mean age 54.1±10.5 years; range, 18 to 75 years) diagnosed as pSS according to revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/EULAR classification criteria were included. ESSPRI (TR) was applied to the patients with face-to-face interviews twice: on their first visit and after an interval of 15 days. The test-retest reliability was assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and the internal consistency of the multi-item subscales by calculating Cronbach alpha values. The correlations between basal and stimulated salivary flow (BSF and SSF), Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life-UK (OHRQOL-UK) questionnaires were evaluated to determine the construct validity.

Results: The ICC value for the test/retest reliability of ESSPRI (TR) was 0.925. The internal consistency was 0.682. There were low to moderate correlations between the ESSPRI (TR) total score and BSF (-0.39), SSF (-0.50), OHIP-14 total (0.57) and OHRQOL-UK total (-0.67).

Conclusion: The Turkish version of the ESSPRI was found to be clinically valid and reliable to be used in clinical evaluations and rehabilitation interventions in patients with pSS.

Published: May 2021

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate demographic, clinical, and radiological characteristics of Turkish children with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis.

Patients and methods: Between January 2008 and December 2018, a total of 28 patients (10 males, 18 females; median age: 12.5 years; range, 4.5 to 21 years) who were diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis in three pediatric rheumatology centers were retrospectively analyzed. The demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings of the patients were recorded.

Results: The median age at the time of diagnosis was 10.2 years. The median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 6.5 months. The median follow-up was 18.5 months. The most frequent symptom at onset was arthralgia (75.0%). The most frequently involved bone was the femur (67.9%). Eight (63.6%) of 12 patients had at least one Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) mutation, indicating a significantly higher prevalence than the Turkish population (14.8%). Five of these patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). All patients received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Other drugs were methotrexate (46.4%), sulfasalazine (39%), corticosteroids (25%), anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents (32%), pamidronate (25%), and colchicine (21.4%). Six of eight patients with MEFV mutations were administered with colchicine, and all of them responded to treatment.

Conclusion: Clinical evolution and imaging investigations should be carefully performed to prevent any delay in the diagnosis of patients with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis. Based on our study results, FMF coexistence is worth investigating in patients with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis, particularly in the Turkish population.
Evaluating various radiographic methods of shoulder joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs
Authors: Sugimori Kazuhito , Matsushita Isao , Kimura Tomoatsu
Published: May 2021

Objectives: This study aims to clarify shoulder joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and the relationship between joint damage and clinical factors.

Patients and methods: In this retrospective study conducted between April 2005 and December 2008, 36 shoulders in 19 patients (2 males, 17 females; mean age: 58.9 years; range 42 to 75 years) were evaluated at baseline and two years after the initiation of bDMARD therapy with infliximab (n=14) or etanercept (n=5). Standard anteroposterior radiographs of the shoulder joints were taken at baseline and two years after institution of biological therapy. Structural damage in the shoulder joints was assessed using the Larsen scoring method, the medial displacement index (MDI), and the upward migration index (UMI).

Results: There was a significant correlation between MDI, UMI, and Larsen grade before biological therapy. Univariate analysis revealed that the disease activity score 28-count erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at baseline (odds ratio [OR]: 4.298) was associated with progression of MDI. But multivariate logistic regression revealed that there was no association with the progression of MDI. Univariate analysis revealed that ESR at baseline (OR: 0.967) and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) at baseline (OR: 0.996) were associated with the progression of UMI. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that MMP-3 at baseline (OR: 0.994) was independently associated with the progression of UMI.

Conclusion: Medial displacement index and UMI correlated with the Larsen grade of the shoulder joint strongly and moderately, respectively. This study suggests that MDI and UMI may help to evaluate radiographic progression of damage in shoulder joints in patients on bDMARDs, which is difficult to detect using the Larsen grade.
Predictive factors of mortality in granulomatosis with polyangiitis: A single-center study
Authors: Aydın Tufan Müge , Tekkarışmaz Nihan
Published: May 2021

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of mortality in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) patients and to seek the ways of improving survival in GPA patients.

Patients and methods: Between January 2005 and June 2020, a total of 60 patients (26 males, 34 females; median age: 49 years; range, 19 to 75 years) who were diagnosed with GPA were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings of all patients were recorded. Survival rates were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier plot.

Results: The median follow-up was 36 months, and 10 (16.7%) patients died during the study period. Univariate analysis showed that the prognostic values were attributed to high serum creatinine levels (>2.1 mg/dL; p=0.01), proteinuria (p=0.01), dialysis-requiring renal damage at the time of diagnosis (p=0.01) or at any time during follow-up (p=0.01), low lymphocyte levels (p=0.01), hypoalbuminemia (p=0.04), absence of upper respiratory tract involvement (p=0.01), presence of lung involvement with cavitary lesions (p=0.01), high Birmingham Vascular Activity Score (p=0.02), and history of serious infection (p=0.01). In the multivariate analysis, the presence of renal damage requiring dialysis at any time during follow-up (relative risk [95% confidence interval]: 21 [4.1-18.3]; p=0.01) was found to be an independent predictor of mortality. Immunosuppressive drugs exerted no effect on mortality, and the most common causes of death were infections (50%).

Conclusion: The presence of dialysis-requiring renal damage is the most important risk factor for mortality in GPA patients. These patients should be followed more closely and carefully to improve survival.

Objetivo: Evaluar la conducta de actividad física, capacidad funcional, apoyo social percibido y síntomas depresivos que presentan los adultos mayores adscritos al centro cultural del INAPAM ubicado en el municipio de Guaymas, Sonora. Metodología: estudio con enfoque cuantitativo, de diseño no experimental de corte transversal y alcance descriptivo. Participaron 41 sujetos de ambos géneros con edades comprendidas entre los 60 y 86 años. El análisis de resultados se realizó mediante el software Statistics StatSoft® versión 8.0. Resultados: la conducta de actividad física que presentan los adultos mayores indica que los hombres desarrollan predominantemente actividades de ligera intensidad con un promedio de 3.00 ± 1.27 METs, en comparación con las mujeres quienes además realizan actividades de moderada intensidad y consumen un promedio de 4.99 ± 3.81 METs, sin embrago, al comparar los grupos no se encontraron diferencias significativas (p < 0.21). Al realizar la clasificación de la capacidad funcional los varones muestran independencia en las actividades básicas de la vida diaria (100%) en contraste con las mujeres (62.85%), en las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria solamente el 66.66% de los hombres y 62.85% de las mujeres son autónomos. Respecto al apoyo social percibido, ambos géneros manifestaron que el tamaño de la red de apoyo social se encuentra medianamente completa (50% en hombres y 65.57% en mujeres) y externaron sentirse medianamente satisfechos con su red de apoyo social (66.66% hombres y 74.28% mujeres). Al evaluar los síntomas depresivos los resultados obtenidos señalan un promedio de 5.16 ± 2.31 puntos para hombres y 6.22 ± 2.70 puntos para mujeres, es decir, únicamente el 66.66% de los hombres y 45.71% de las mujeres se ubican en la categoría normal, no obstante, al realizar la comparación de los grupos no se encontraron diferencias significativas (p < 0.37). Conclusión: el predominio de conductas sedentarias, las pérdidas de la capacidad funcional, así como la reducción del tamaño y satisfacción con la red de apoyo social, aunado a la aparición de síntomas depresivos son factores que afectan la salud biopsicosocial de los adultos mayores, aun considerando que residen en comunidad.

First World War: Origins and Consequences (World-Historical Context)
Authors: Shmorgun O.
Published: June 2021

The article analyzes the peculiarities of changing socio-economic leadership at the end of the nineteenth century. It is shown that Britain`s lag behind its rivals in foreign markets is associated withthe transition to an extensive algorithm for the existence of the largest empire in the world, the homeland of the industrial revolution, its reorientation to financially usurious mechanisms forobtaining super-profits, an indicator of the beginning of the stadial-civilizational decline of the classical bourgeois formation. It is shown that Germany, which in our time continues to be consideredthe main culprit for World War I, during this period, receives competitive advantages, first of all, by forcing an innovative component of its development, due to the election of a fundamentally different,relative to the Anglo-Saxon, model of the postсapitalist type of social order. It is important that on the basis of similar principles of the new social system in the twentieth century, a number of developedcountries of the East and West have made an economic miracle.  It has been proved that the sources of antagonism between the most powerful geopolitical players that led to the Great War are due not so much to the so-called colonial redistribution of the world, but to the collision of two incompatible strategies for the further existence of mankind. Moreover, the doom of the Russian Empire for such an approach was related precisely to the fact that once again lost the historical chance of its own modernization, it was in the world military conflict that was inevitable, because of the domination in the state of a compradoriously oriented "lazy class" (T .Veblen), elected the status of a satellite of the United Kingdom and France, which at that time was the main outpost of the rotting monopoly financial and invading imperialism of a qualitatively new global type, which eventually became the main cause of both worlds wars, and then the cold and present "hybrid" wars (the current Putin regime is derived from the modern global "postmodern system" of postmodern neocolonialism). The hypothesis that the cause of the First and Second World Wars was the only aggressive nationalism is refuted, which in fact, in the form of Nazism became a non-constructive reaction to the globally-permissive parasitism that caused the First World War and the "communist experiment", generated by the civil war caused by the catastrophe of the unprecedented in terms of the scale of the war of 1914-1918.
IMMUNOMODULATORY ROLE OF VITAMIN D: CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS IN INFECTIONS AND AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS
Authors: Alswailmi Farhan Khashim , Shah Syed Imran Ali , Nawaz Haleema
Published: June 2021

Vitamin D exerts its well-known effects on bone health and calcium-phosphate homeostasis primarily through the vitamin D receptor signaling pathway. Vitamin D also has several extra-skeletal actions and its deficiency is not only implicated in musculoskeletal disorders, but also cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, neurodegenerative conditions and cancers. There is a growing body of research highlighting the link of vitamin D deficiency and alterations in vitamin D signaling with certain infections and autoimmune disorders although the evidence is inconsistent and inconclusive. Vitamin D has been suggested to play a fundamental role in curbing infections and mitigating autoimmune disease processes. The present review was undertaken to explore the promise of vitamin D as a protective agent and a clinically useful therapeutic adjunct against infections and autoimmune diseases and identify knowledge gaps and limitations of the available data for informing future work. An exhaustive search was conducted in established databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Springer for articles published on vitamin D, immunity, infection and autoimmune disorders. All relevant articles published in the English language between the year 200 and 2020 were retrieved for writing the review. Although a considerable body of evidence highlighting the potential clinical benefits of vitamin D against the development of various autoimmune conditions and for the prevention of infections has emerged over the last decade, the findings are limited by the lack of appropriately designed randomized controlled trials which are needed to formulate precise clinical recommendations.
Arcabouço regulatório e diretrizes de políticas: os desafios para a regulamentação de combustíveis sustentáveis de aviação Drop-in
Authors: Soares Gustavo , Queiroz Pinto Jr Helder , Bomtempo Martins José Vitor
Published: May 2021

Por serem combustíveis drop-in, a disseminação dos combustíveis sustentáveis de aviação enfrenta, além dos elevados custos de produção, dificuldades relacionadas à conciliação de diversas rotas de produção em uma mesma infraestrutura e ao cumprimento de uma rigorosa certificação internacional. Essas dificuldades exigem que a regulação e as políticas sobre os combustíveis sustentáveis de aviação sejam sensíveis às características das diferentes rotas de produção, que geram combustíveis com propriedades ambientais distintas, e permitam que os combustíveis sejam comercializados sem que haja perda das propriedades necessárias ao longo da cadeia. As principais dificuldades encontradas referem-se ao estabelecimento de tributação diferenciada que acompanhe os diferentes combustíveis ao longo da cadeia, à exigência de grande escala produtiva para conseguir a certificação internacional, à elevada concentração no mercado do QAV-1 e à inviabilidade de implementar mandatos obrigatórios de combustíveis sustentáveis de aviação.

Authors: Hortigüela-Alcalá David , González-Víllora Sixto , Hernando-Garijo Alejandra
Published: June 2021

Antecedentes: La evaluación está relacionada con la forma en que los profesores abordan y entienden la educación física. Objetivo: Evaluar las percepciones de los profesores sobre la evaluación en diferentes etapas educativas. Método: Participaron siete profesores de educación física con experiencia en cada etapa educativa (Primaria, Secundaria y Universidad), y ocho estudiantes de Magisterio de Educación Física. Se siguió un diseño de investigación cualitativo. Resultados: Los profesores de Educación Primaria abogaban por una evaluación basada en el juego y la diversión, no considerando necesaria la participación de los alumnos en la misma. Los profesores de educación secundaria confundían la evaluación con la calificación, centrándose en las pruebas de aptitud física y deportiva y abogando por una aplicación exclusiva de la evaluación por parte del docente. Los profesores universitarios relacionaron la evaluación con el aprendizaje y destacaron la necesidad de ser transparentes en relación a su aplicación. Por último, los futuros profesores de educación física alentaron un cambio, considerando que la evaluación es un elemento complejo de la enseñanza y que el contexto en el que se aplique es determinante. Conclusión: La evaluación en la Educación Física se ve de forma diferente según la etapa, no existiendo elementos comunes en su puesta en práctica.
Abstract. Background: Assessment is connected to the way teachers approach and understand physical education. Purpose: To assess teachers’ perceptions on assessment in different educational stages. Method: Seven experienced physical education teachers from each educational stage (Primary, Secondary and University), and eight Physical Education Teacher Education students participated. A qualitative research design was followed. Results: Primary education teachers advocated for an assessment based on games and play, and they believed that it was not necessary to involve pupils. Secondary education teachers confused assessment with grading, focusing on fitness and sport testing and advocated for an exclusive teacher implementation. University teachers linked assessment to learning and highlighted the need to be transparent. Finally, future physical education teachers encouraged a change, believed that assessment is a complex element of teaching and highlighted the context where assessment will be implemented. Conclusion: Assessment is viewed differently depending on the stage with no common traits.
Efficiency of the Experimental Prediction Market: Public Information, Belief Evolution, and Personality Traits

Published: May 2021

Abstract

This paper examines the ability of markets to aggregate information so that the price generated from the market contains the best estimate of all the available information. The paper investigates how individuals “update” their initial beliefs from their public and private information in light of market prices. In particular, the paper looks at individuals' weighting of public information versus private information. Also, the volume of information in the market via an increased number of traders with private information has a positive impact on the quality of the market price. Lastly, the personality traits of the traders seem to provide some positive impact if the traders are diverse in terms of the proportion of “efficient and organized” traders in the market.

Published: May 2021

The policy development mechanism for the national identity number -based electronic ID card software is described in this report. In this analysis, a qualitative procedure was used in conjunction with a case study technique. The total number of informants was 19. Employees from the government who work on the national identity number -based electronic identification card software make up this group. The culture is often used as a source of information in this report. The findings of the study indicate that; Every organ and implementor personnel at every level in every Pasangkayu sub-district office understands and implements national Identity Number -based electronic identification card policy requirements and goals, namely: first, citizens with a identification card condition have the right to get a electronic identification card, which the government is required to promote. Second, get closer to the position where the community resides, in this case the office respective districts, such that the community is not inconvenienced and burdened, must go to the Disdukcapil office in the district capital. Third, since these programs are provided free of charge or at no expense to government, this approach would not impose an economic burden. Fourth, this proposal has little effect on the district's spending schedule. As a result, success policy is essentially an evaluation of how well expectations and policy priorities have been met. As a result, the policy's standards and objectives must be practical and specifically targeted, and any implementation entity (implementor) must be aware of the policy's standards and objectives.

При движении по такой беговой дорожке в местах сопряжения могут возникнуть скачки, влияющие на кинематику, а именно, могут не совпадать в местах стыковки скорость движущейся материальной точки по модулю и направлению. Будет излом при переходе из одного участка в другой. Предложенная методика дает возможность исключить возникающий нежелательный эффект и в отличие от существующих приближенных методов (сплайн, клотоида, упругая линия и др), можно получить точное аналитическое уравнение сглаживающей переходной кривой. Для получения уравнения используется способ инженерного дискриминанта и метод Лайминга.Дан алгоритм создания сложной беговой дорожки с условиями касания и непрерывности"

"В этой статье моделируется схват с приводами в виде трех гибких тяговых элементов. Он разрабатывается для выполнениия операций схватывания средствами робототехники, что позволит не только повысить производительность, но и взять на себя выполнение работ по ориентации. Здесь разработаны плоская модель схвата со статическими расчетами, показаны связь между реакциями в точках контакта зубьев схвата и захватываемого цилиндрического объекта, усилиями в трех гибких тяговых элементах и метрическими параметрами схвата. Взяв за основу плоскую модель была разработана также 3D модель этого схвата на Inventor’е. Возникшая при разработке проблема контакта зубьев схвата и цилиндрической поверхности объекта была решена заменой теоретически прямой точечной линией контакта реальной узкой прямолинейной полоской на конце каждого зуба. Расчетная 3D модель схвата получилась корректной, что показывает соответствующая диаграмма. Полученная расчетная модель позволяет проводить расчеты на прочность и жесткость на Inventor’е, а также моделировать метрическими параметрами схвата и внешней нагрузкой для получения оптимальных размеров схвата и рассчитать усилия на приводах для получения допустимых усилий на зубьях схвата.

Published: May 2021

Gold is a natural solid with a crystalline stable structure and exhibits an abundance of 0.04 ppm (mg/Kg) in the Earth crust. Gold, like silver, is one of the chemical elements less abundant in nature. Only palladium, tellurium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, osmium, rhenium, and iridium, present a smaller geochemical distribution. Because of its low chemical reactivity, the metal has very few minerals. This review presents a synopsis of the twenty nine (29) gold minerals known at the present time.

Published: May 2021

The association constants KA for CoCl2 aqueous solutions were calculated using the experimental conductivity values at different salt concentrations. The molar conductivities were measured in the absence and presence of a magnetic field with an average power of 0. 677 KGauss. A new equation for asymmetric 1:2 salts was suggested and used. This equation was derived from Ostwald, Arrhenius, and Fuoss-Shedlovsky theories. The results obtained were discussed and the effect of the magnetic field on the association constants was explained.

Published: May 2021

The adsorption of fluoride, from a fluoride, contaminated groundwater sample from the village, Bhooma Chota, District Sikar, in the State of Rajasthan, India, has been studied using alumina grade DF-101. The fluoride adsorption capacity (q1) has been fitted into the pseudo-first-order adsorption, pseudo-second-order adsorption, Elovich, and intraparticle diffusion models. It has been found that the kinetic data fits best in the pseudo-second-order rate equation giving a very high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.991). the modeled fluoride absorption capacity (q1) has been calculated from the various equations using the constants derived from the least square regression plots. The calculated q1 values, model the experimental data very well, for the pseudo-second-order and Elovich equations, as is evident from the sum of square error calculations. Fluoride removal is through a combination of surface absorption and intraparticle diffusion. A study of the fluoride removal process with increasing dosage of activated alumina reveals that though the percentage of fluoride removal increases with activated alumina, the adsorption capacity at equilibrium decreases. The minimum dosage of activated alumina which causes the maximum percentage removal of fluoride from water, while at the same time brings forth its highest equilibrium absorption capacity has been determined.

El Diseño y el rechazo del ornamento
Authors: Velasco Aranda Rosario , Sanz Joan
Published: May 2021

Este artículo observa las relaciones que se han establecido entre ornamento, artesanía y diseño en diferentes momentos históricos. Se explora el origen del uso del ornamento, vinculado a la artesanía, y su relación con el arte, productores ambos de lo simbólico. De este modo se analiza la conexión entre las nociones de función y ornamento, así como entre los conceptos de diseño y arte. El análisis histórico demuestra la simbiosis progresiva entre las artes decorativas y el contexto socioeconómico y cultural que las produce. Se ofrece así una reflexión sobre las motivaciones actuales para dotar al objeto de una dimensión sensible a través de la práctica creativa del diseño.
