As “Doações de Alexandria” (34 a.C.) – criando um império entre factos e fantasias
Authors: Das Candeias Sales José
Published: December 2018

No outono de 34 a.C., Marco António e Cleópatra convocaram os Alexandrinos para o Ginásio para celebrarem o triunfo sobre os Arménios e declararem Cleópatra e o seu filho com Júlio César, Cesarião, co-governantes de Chipre e do Egipto. Cleópatra foi declarada «Rainha de reis» e Cesarião «rei dos reis». Alexandre Hélio, filho de Marco António e de Cleópatra, foi coroado como governante da Arménia, Média e Pártia. Sua irmã gémea, Cleópatra Selene, foi coroada como governante da Cirenaica e Líbia. As crianças vestiram-se com os trajes dos países para cujo governo foram nomeados. O filho mais novo de Marco António e Cleópatra, Ptolemeu Filadelfo, foi coroado governante da Fenícia, Síria e Cilícia. Numa elevada plataforma adornada a prata, sentados em tronos dourados, o casal emitiu uma declaração conjunta proclamando-se como a encarnação das divindades egípcias Osíris e Ísis. Num nível mais baixo da plataforma havia quatro tronos de ouro para os filhos de Cleópatra. Com as «doações de Alexandria», Marco António dividiu a sua parte do mundo romano entre os quatro filhos de Cleópatra VII. O gesto provocou uma ruptura fatal nas suas relações com Roma e esteve entre as causas da última guerra civil da República Romana, cuja vitória, em 30 a.C., permitiria a Octávio a transição para a Era Imperial. Com toda a encenação inerente, as grandiosas cerimónias reais públicas de Alexandria tocaram a imaginação popular, mas proclamavam, contudo, uma magnificência ilusória e artificial, onde mito e história se cruzam.

Authors: Pinheiro Joaquim
Published: December 2018

Propomo-nos analisar o uso do símile no poema épico de Trifiodoro (Ἰλίου ἅλωσις). A partir da identificação dos símiles no poema, procuraremos (i) classificá-los por temáticas, (ii) estabelecer uma relação com o contexto narrativo e com a própria estrutura do poema e (iii) comparar o seu efeito retórico com aquele que o símile produz nos Poemas Homéricos. Para enquadrar a dinâmica do símile no poema, será necessário recorrer aos princípios teóricos de alguns tratados ou manuais da retórica clássica.

Estimating Mann–Whitney-Type Causal Effects for Right-Censored Survival Outcomes
Authors: Zhang Zhiwei , Liu Chunling , Ma Shujie , Zhang Min
Published: December 2018

Mann–Whitney-type causal effects are clinically relevant, easy to interpret, and readily applicable to a wide range of study settings. This article considers estimation of such effects when the outcome variable is a survival time subject to right censoring. We derive and discuss several methods: an outcome regression method based on a regression model for the survival outcome, an inverse probability weighting method based on models for treatment assignment and censoring, and two doubly robust methods that involve both types of models and that remain valid under correct specification of the outcome model or the other two models. The methods are compared in a simulation study and applied to an observational study of hospitalized pneumonia.
Experimental Study of Mortar Samples Containing Sodium Bentonite
Authors: Liu Jiesheng , Gong Xiaoqiang , He Xiang , Zhang Rongtang , Li Rui
Published: December 2018

In this study, the effect of sodium bentonite on the properties of cement mortar has been investigated through a number of tests. The properties examined include consistency, fluidity, water retention, density, mechanical strength, water absorption, and morphology of mortar. The results showed that the consistency, fluidity, density, and mechanical strength decreased as the sodium bentonite increased. However, the water retention and water absorption increased because of the good water absorptive properties of sodium bentonite and the increase of voids in the mortar when the sodium bentonite increased. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that a more porous structure of mortar sample can be obtained when the sodium bentonite content increased.
A Literature Review on Fuzzy Process Capability Analysis
Authors: Kaya İhsan , Çolak Murat
Published: December 2018

Process capability analysis (PCA) that can be defined as the ability of any process to satisfy customer demands expressed via specification limits (SLs) is effectively utilized as an important function of statistical process control in order to examine process variability. PCA provides information about conforming and nonconforming production rates that indicate the amount of products that fall inside and outside of SLs, respectively. It is possible to classify processes as “capable” and “incapable” according to values of process capability indexes (PCIs). Therefore, PCA has a wide usage and critical effects on the manufacturing process. The fuzzy set theory can be successfully utilized in order to cope with vagueness and to add more flexibility and sensitiveness into traditional PCIs. For this aim, upper and lower specification limits can be expressed by means of linguistic variables. Fuzzy process capability indexes (FPCIs) can be produced by using fuzzy mean and fuzzy variance. There are many studies that utilized FPCIs for PCA in the literature. This study seeks to present a comprehensive literature review for publications related to FPCIs. These studies have been analyzed according to some features of them, such as year, document type, journal name, and country. Also, classifications including FPCI, application area, fuzzy parameters, and type of fuzzy sets have been presented in this study. Additionally, some statistical analyses have been conducted. As a result, we desired to provide a roadmap for researchers in this field and to present recent advances regarding FPCIs. The main aim of this article is to show possible future research areas on fuzzy PCA.
Monitoring Regularly Maintained Systems Based on the Renewal Process with Generalized Exponential Distribution of Time between Events
Authors: Ali Sajid , Shah Ismail
Published: December 2018

In the modern industrial age, regular system maintenance is an integral process because systems, both engineering and nonengineering, deteriorate over time. Statistical process monitoring techniques, especially control charts, are very helpful in monitoring the performance of such systems and consequently help in decision making on whether maintenance is advantageous or the system has reached a phase where no further maintenance is useful. The aim of this article is to introduce an approach that would integrate maintenance decisions with statistical quality monitoring techniques by assuming an exponentiated class of distributions of interarrival times of the renewal process. This article includes generalized exponential, generalized Rayleigh, and exponentiated Pareto distributions as special cases. An extensive simulation study to compute average run length and average length of inspection (or average time to signal) is conducted, and a comparison is given with approximated exponential control charts. The effect of cost for the regularly maintained generalized exponential systems is also discussed in this study. We focus on the generalized exponential distribution because of its practical relevance in reliability and closeness to Weibull distribution. Finally, an illustrative example is also a part of this article.
Effects of Glass Powder as a Supplementary Cementitious Material on the Performance of High Strength Mortars
Authors: Akçaoğlu Tülin , Çubukçuoğlu Beste , Tarassoly Amir Reza
Published: December 2018

Around 11 billion tons of concrete ğused each year all over the world require considerable amounts of cement, which leads to extensive emissions of carbon dioxide. In the search for more environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional cement in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, glass powder (GP) is significant because of its high content of silica, availability, and cost and is increasingly becoming a part of cement replacement. This study examined the effects of replacing cement with three different colors of GP at different ratios on the workability and mechanical properties of high-strength mortars cured under three different curing temperatures. It was found that quantities of GP varying from 10 % to 20 % increased workability; strength changes occurred according to the hydration rate and strength activity index order of cement silica fume and GP specimens produced; and increasing the amount of GP from 10 % to 20 % decreased the resistance of mortar against penetration by chloride ions. Among the three water/binder (w/b) ratios (0.35, 0.40, and 0.45) and curing temperatures (22°C, 55°C, and 80°C), the maximum compressive and flexural strength were achieved with a 0.35 w/b ratio and 80°C curing temperature, the lowest with a 0.40 w/b ratio and 55°C curing temperature. At high w/b mixes, the strengths were mainly steered by the w/b ratio.
An Extended Burr-XII Distribution with Application to Lifetime Data
Authors: Jia Jun-mei , Yan Zai-zai , Peng Xiu-yun
Published: December 2018

In this article, a new distribution named the extended Burr-XII distribution is developed. This new distribution combines the Burr-XII and Weibull distributions by using the method of T-X family. Probability density, hazard rate, residual and reversed residual lifetime functions, and the s th raw moment of the distribution are studied. We obtain the stress-strength reliability. The extended Burr-XII is able to model distributions with monotonically decreasing and upside down bathtub hazard rates. The maximum likelihood, ordinary least squares, weighted least squares, maximum product of spacings, Cramér-von Mises, Anderson-Darling, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Bayes methods are adopted for estimating the parameters of the model. The asymptotic confidence intervals of the parameters are obtained according to the observed Fisher’s information matrix. Also, the posterior density credible intervals of the parameters are obtained under gamma prior using Gibbs sampling technique. The new distribution and other distributions are fitted to two real data sets, and the results indicate that the new distribution is quite a reasonable model for the given data sets. Lastly, the performance of the proposed estimation methods is compared by a Monte Carlo simulation.
Primary Afferent-Derived BDNF Contributes Minimally to the Processing of Pain and Itch
Authors: Dembo Todd , Braz João M. , Hamel Katherine A. , Kuhn Julia A. , Basbaum Allan I.
Published: December 2018

BDNF is a critical contributor to neuronal growth, development, learning, and memory. Although extensively studied in the brain, BDNF is also expressed by primary afferent sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Unfortunately, anatomical and functional studies of primary afferent-derived BDNF have been limited by the availability of appropriate molecular tools. Here, we used targeted, inducible molecular approaches to characterize the expression pattern of primary afferent BDNF and the extent to which it contributes to a variety of pain and itch behaviors. Using aBDNF-LacZreporter mouse, we found that BDNF is expressed primarily by myelinated primary afferents and has limited overlap with the major peptidergic and non-peptidergic subclasses of nociceptors and pruritoceptors. We also observed extensive neuronal, but not glial, expression in the spinal cord dorsal horn. In addition, because BDNF null mice are not viable and even Cre-mediated deletion of BDNF from sensory neurons could have developmental consequences, here we deleted BDNF selectively from sensory neurons, in the adult, using an advillin-Cre-ER line crossed to floxed BDNF mice. We found that BDNF deletion in the adult altered few itch or acute and chronic pain behaviors, beyond sexually dimorphic phenotypes in the tail immersion, histamine, and formalin tests. Based on the anatomical distribution of sensory neuron-derived BDNF and its limited contribution to pain and itch processing, we suggest that future studies of primary afferent-derived BDNF should examine behaviors evoked by activation of myelinated primary afferents.
The DNA Repair-Associated Protein Gadd45γ Regulates the Temporal Coding of Immediate Early Gene Expression within the Prelimbic Prefrontal Cortex and Is Required for the Consolidation of Associative Fear Memory
Authors: Li Xiang , Marshall Paul R. , Leighton Laura J. , Zajaczkowski Esmi L. , Wang Ziqi , Madugalle Sachithrani U. , Yin Jiayu , Bredy Timothy W. , Wei Wei
Published: December 2018

We have identified a member of the growth arrest and DNA damage (Gadd45) protein family, Gadd45γ, which is known to be critically involved in DNA repair, as a key player in the regulation of immediate early gene (IEG) expression underlying the consolidation of associative fear memory in adult male C57BL/6 mice. Gadd45γ temporally influences learning-induced IEG expression in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex (PLPFC) through its interaction with DNA double-strand break (DSB)-mediated changes in DNA methylation. Our findings suggest a two-hit model of experience-dependent IEG activity and learning that comprises (1) a first wave of IEG expression governed by DSBs and followed by a rapid increase in DNA methylation, and (2) a second wave of IEG expression associated with the recruitment of Gadd45γ and active DNA demethylation at the same site, which is necessary for memory consolidation.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTHow does the pattern of immediate early gene transcription in the brain relate to the storage and accession of information, and what controls these patterns? This paper explores how Gadd45γ, a gene that is known to be involved with DNA modification and repair, regulates the temporal coding of IEGs underlying associative learning and memory. We reveal that, during fear learning, Gadd45γ serves to act as a coordinator of IEG expression and subsequent memory consolidation by directing temporally specific changes in active DNA demethylation at the promoter of plasticity-related IEGs.
El delito de acoso (art. 172 ter CP) como modalidad de violencia de género. Comparativa con el «Nachstellung» del derecho alemán
Authors: Roig Torres Margarita
Published: December 2018

La LO 1/2015,  introdujo el delito de acoso  en el artículo 172 ter CP, pensando principalmente en las mujeres que sufren actos de hostigamiento por parte de sus ex parejas. El legislador siguió el modelo del delito de persecución (Nachstellung) del § 238 StGB, aunque este precepto ha sido recientemente reformado, dejando de ser un delito de resultado (Erfolgsdelikt) para convertirse en un delito de idoneidad (Eignungsdelikt). No obstante, la regulación española ha prescindido de la cláusula analógica del precepto alemán, evitando la infracción del principio de seguridad jurídica. En cambio, nuestros tribunales han interpretado este ilícito de un modo excesivamente flexible, castigando conductas que generan mera intranquilidad. A mi juicio, el hecho de que muchas veces constituya una manifestación de la violencia de género ha llevado a relajar indebidamente las exigencias del principio de intervención mínima.

Rod and cone photoreceptors are specialized retinal neurons that have a fundamental role in visual perception, capturing light and transducing it into a neuronal signal. Aberrant functioning of rod and/or cone photoreceptors can ultimately lead to progressive degeneration and eventually blindness. In man, many rod and rod-cone degenerative diseases are classified as forms of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Dogs also have a comparable disease grouping termed progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). These diseases are generally due to single gene defects and follow Mendelian inheritance.We collected 51 DNA samples from Miniature Schnauzers affected by PRA (average age of diagnosis ∼3.9 ±1 years), as well as from 56 clinically normal controls of the same breed (average age ∼6.6 ±2.8 years). Pedigree analysis suggested monogenic autosomal recessive inheritance of PRA. GWAS and homozygosity mapping defined a critical interval in the first 4,796,806 bp of CFA15. Whole genome sequencing of two affected cases, a carrier and a control identified two candidate variants within the critical interval. One was an intronic SNV in HIVEP3, and the other was a complex structural variant consisting of the duplication of exon 5 of the PPT1 gene along with a conversion and insertion (named PPT1dci). PPT1dci was confirmed homozygous in a cohort of 22 cases, and 12 more cases were homozygous for the CFA15 haplotype. Additionally, the variant was found homozygous in 6 non-affected dogs of age higher than the average age of onset. The HIVEP3 variant was found heterozygous (n = 4) and homozygous wild-type (n = 1) in cases either homozygous for PPT1dci or for the mapped CFA15 haplotype. We detected the wildtype and three aberrant PPT1 transcripts in isolated white blood cell mRNA extracted from a PRA case homozygous for PPT1dci, and the aberrant transcripts involved inclusion of the duplicated exon 5 and novel exons following the activation of cryptic splice sites. No neurological signs were detected among the dogs homozygous for the PPT1dci variant. Therefore, we propose PPT1dci as causative for a non-syndromic form of PRA (PRAPPT1) that shows incomplete penetrance in Miniature Schnauzers, potentially related to the presence of the wild-type transcript. To our knowledge, this is the first case of isolated retinal degeneration associated with a PPT1 variant.
Um pluralismo liberal: Isaiah Berlin e John Stuart Mill
Authors: Martins Vaz dos Santos Giovane
Published: December 2018

O ensaio explora a relação entre o pluralismo de valores, como Isaiah Berlin o entende, e liberalismo. Consiste de duas partes principais. Na primeira, argumento que o pluralismo de valores não implica no liberalismo, e critico dois filósofos – William Galston e George Crowder – que acreditam nessa implicação. Na segunda, reconstruo e defendo o próprio entendimento de Isaiah Berlin sobre essa relação, analisando um ensaio que é frequentemente negligenciado pelos intérpretes de Isaiah Berlin: John Stuart Mill and the Ends of Life. Berlin pensava que o relacionamento entre o pluralismo de valores e o liberalismo era largamente psicológico. Ele acreditava que aqueles que abraçavam o pluralismo de valores seriam mais propensos a afirmar as instituições liberais, pois seria mais provável que eles exibissem certas virtudes – notavelmente, a empatia, a imaginação e a abertura para outras formas de vida – que tipicamente motivam a tolerância.

Authors: Silveira Sucupira da Costa Rafaella
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo pretende analisar a teoria da educação do filósofo Immanuel Kant a fim de compreender como a educação pode desempenhar papel essencial no aperfeiçoamento da natureza humana com fins a moralidade. Portanto, partimos da seguinte hipótese: a educação, quando pautada no ideal de humanidade, é a chave do aperfeiçoamento moral do homem enquanto espécie humana. Para esse fim, dividimos nosso artigo em duas seções. Na primeira seção, denominada A teoria da educação kantiana, aspiramos analisar a teoria da educação kantiana em seus aspectos físico e prático. Na segunda seção, A pedagogia do Esclarecimento, pretendemos compreender como a pedagogia kantiana pode contribuir para a efetivação da autonomia do pensamento e do esclarecimento moral. Logo, buscaremos defender a hipótese de que é possível um modelo de educação com fins ao progresso moral da natureza humana.

Religião, feminismo e islã: perspectivas do feminismo islâmico
Authors: Vieira Maria Eduarda Antonino
Published: December 2018

Este artigo tem o intuito de apresentar o debate teórico entre “a religião e o feminismo” focando especialmente nos discursos das feministas islâmicas (feminismo religioso) e do feminismo ocidental (secular). O feminismo é um movimento social, político, econômico e intelectual que tem sido definido de várias maneiras há mais de 200 anos. O único consenso atual é de que não há nenhum feminismo, mas, na verdade, muitas tradições dentro de um movimento maior dedicado à obtenção de capital para as mulheres.

Authors: DEMİR Zekiye
Published: December 2018

Kadının çalışması ve bu çalışmanın bireysel ve toplumsal değeri üzerine tartışmalar, insanlık tarihi ile yaşıttır. Sanayi devriminden sonra, kitlesel üretim ve ulus ötesi savaşlar, hem kadın işgücü arzının hem de talebinin artmasına neden olmuştur.  Ardından kadın işgücü kamuya açılmış ve kadınlar ücretli iş için evlerinden dışarı çıkmışlardır. Dünyadaki bu eğilim Türkiye'de de benzerdir. Ancak, kadınların işgücüne katılım koşulları ile ilgili tartışmalar halen devam etmektedir. Bugün, Türk toplumunda kadınların ev dışında ücretli işler için çalışabileceği, yaygın olarak kabul görmektedir. Bununla birlikte, kadının çalışmasına yönelik bazı karşıt görüşler de dikkat çekmektedir. Bu konudaki fikirler, geleneksel değerler ve dini anlayışla ilgili olarak değerlendirilmekte; kadınların ev içindeki sorumlulukları ve ev dışında çalışmanın dini kurallara uygunluğu tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, kadının çalışması konusunda Din İşleri Yüksek Kurulu'na gelen sorular sosyolojik bakış açısı ile incelenmiş, konunun erkek ve kadın perspektifinden nasıl farklılaştığı ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır.

Análisis de comentarios escritos de directores de tesis de posgrado
Authors: Moreno Mosquera Emilce , Ochoa Sierra Ligia
Published: December 2018

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación en la que se analizaron los comentarios escritos que hicieron 20 directores de tesis a estudiantes de distintas maestrías de Ciencias Humanas. Específicamente, la investigación centró su atención en la pregunta ¿qué características lingüísticas y pedagógicas presentan los comentarios hechos por directores de tesis? Para ello, se retomaron algunos postulados de Kumar y Stracke (2007), Hyland (2009), Higgins, Hartely y Skelton (2001). Del análisis de los datos se establecieron las categorías a la luz de los niveles de lengua pragmático (función del lenguaje, acto de habla privilegiado, finalidad, rol del emisor, rol del receptor, tono) semántico (tipo de comentario, aspecto en el que se centra el comentario, referencialidad) y sintáctico (cohesión, longitud) y del modelo de la retroalimentación escrita basado en las funciones del lenguaje de Kumar y Stracke (2007). El resultado más importante evidencia que el comentario refleja que el docente asume uno de los siguientes roles: evaluador, corrector de estilo o coautor. Este último rol genera comentarios más constructivos que los dos roles anteriores.
La construcción de pedagogías descolonizadoras: notas desde la praxis del trabajo en organizaciones sociales
Authors: Guelman Anahí , Palumbo María Mercedes
Published: December 2018

El presente artículo parte de las elaboraciones y reflexiones producidas en el contexto del trabajo de investigación de tipo cualitativo realizado en emprendimientos productivos autogestivos-cooperativos desarrollados por una organización social en la Argentina. Se esbozan una serie de notas provisorias en torno a las características que, partiendo del trabajo de campo realizado y en diálogo con los antecedentes investigativos, nos resultan centrales en la conceptualización de las pedagogías descolonizadoras. Como se propone en el artículo, pensar pedagogías descolonizadoras implica abordar el lugar de los saberes y de los sujetos epistémicos otros, la potencialidad del trabajo como principio formativo, la inserción de la formación en la cotidianeidad y la comunidad, la apertura a lo afectivo y, finalmente, el marco colectivo. Las reflexiones desarrolladas en torno a estos cinco aspectos pretenden contribuir a la apertura de horizontes de problematización y discusión sobre las pedagogías en un gesto de descentramiento de la educación colonial.

Este artículo sitúa la pregunta por la formación ética desde la detrascendentalización de las normas ético-morales, específicamente, a partir de las categorías valicepción y pasividad. Se propone la posibilidad de la formación ética mediante la pragmática del lenguaje, capaz de evitar el nihilismo, el relativismo y los totalitarismos de diferente tipo. Finalmente, se retoma la noción de alteridad como idea regulativa de la ética. En la introducción, se examinan las variantes del problema con sus perspectivas de solución. En adelante, se dan cuatro pasos en la exposición: primero, se explicita el alcance del título detrascendentalización en el contexto de la ética; segundo, se muestra el enlace entre la formación ética y la pragmática del lenguaje; tercero, se mira la mutua implicación de verdad y razón, y, cuarto, se caracteriza la alteridad como idea reguladora de la ética en los procesos de formación.
Comorbid Psychiatric Diseases in Children with Intellectual Disability and the Relationship Between Comorbid Psychiatric Diseases and the Levels of Anxiety Depression in Mothers
Authors: ŞAHİN Nilfer
Published: December 2018

Objective:
The aim of this study was to assess the comorbid psychiatric disorders in
children with intellectual disabilities (ID) and to evaluate the relationship
between comorbid psychiatric disorders and mothers' anxiety depression level.Materials and Methods:
80 participants and their mothers whose ages are between 0-18 years and are
diagnosed with intellectual disability and 60 healthy participants aged between
0-18 years without any chronic physical and psychiatric disease and their
mothers were included in the study. A psychiatric interview according to DSM-5
diagnostic criteria was conducted to determine if there is a comorbid
psychiatric disease with the cases in the patient group. A sociodemographic
data form and Beck Depression Scale and Beck Anxiety Scale were given to the
subjects in both groups in order to determine the anxiety depression level of
the mothers. Results:
The anxiety and depression levels of the mothers in the ID group were found to
be higher than those healthy and controlled mothers (p<0.001 for both). In
addition, 55.6% of the cases in the ID group were detected to have comorbid psychiatric
disease. Mothers with comorbid psychiatric disorders had higher anxiety
depression scores than those without comorbid psychiatric diagnosis (p<0.001
for both).

Conclusion:
In this study, a high rate of comorbid psychiatric disease was found in
children with ID. However, anxiety depression levels were higher in mothers of
patients with comorbid psychiatric disorders. Comorbid psychiatric diseases
cause more psychological burden on the mothers, therefore it is important that
these children be assessed in this respect and to make the necessary
interventions.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of tactile stimulation and halter walking trainings in the temperament, physiology, behavior and body weight of sheep. A total of 80 sheep, males and females, of the Morada Nova (MN) and Santa Ines (SI) breeds, with initial ages of six to eight months, were trained with tactile stimulation (TS), halter walking (HW) or tactile stimulation and halter walking (TS+HW). The control (C) animals were not submitted to any kind of training. The behavioral aspects were measured by application of a open-field test, to quantify the traits movement, vocalization, escape attempt and digging, and the temperament test, with assignment of a temperament score for each animal. The animals were weighed and rectal temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate were measured. Males were more reactive than females to human. Animals trained with TS were the least reactive in the temperament test, while the most reactive animals were SI male from C and TS+HW treatments. Males of treatments C and HW were the heaviest during the study. The animals in the control group showed higher averages for heart rate and rectal temperature, while animals trained with TS and HW showed the lowest values. Females MN trained with TS and TS+HW moved more during the open-field test, while the SI females of the control group moved less. The SI animals vocalized more during the open-field test, both from treatment C and from TS+HW.  The MN animals from C treatment vocalized less. Sheep trained with tactile stimulation were more docile. The training with tactile stimulation and halter walking in Santa Ines and Morada Nova sheep influenced the heart rate, rectal temperature, moviment, vocalization, escape attempt and body weight.

Design of novel potential HIV-1 inhibitors able to block CD4-binding site of the envelope gp120 protein was carried out based on click chemistryin silico, a methodology allowing one to generate a large number of drug candidates by assembly from small modular units and to study their properties. Using the methods of molecular modeling, the neutralizing activity of designed molecules was evaluated, as a result of which five leading compounds that are promising for synthesis and biological trials were identified. Their chemical formulas are C24H23N7O2, C23H20N6O2, C21H17F3N6, C22H20ClN9O and C19H15N9O. It has been shown that these compounds can be used as good scaffolds for the development of novel potent and broad anti-HIV drugs with extensive viral neutralization effect.
Self-concept as a possible predictor of STEM career: adaptation of the questionnaire to measure five factors of self-concept
Authors: Lebedeva N.V. , Kuzmina Y.V.
Published: December 2018

The problem of bringing girls into STEM-related specialty, is important for many countries, including Russia. Some studies show that various parameters of self-esteem can be associated with low representation of women in these professions. In order to assess the Russian data, concerning the extent to which self-esteem is related to the fact that women do not continue to work in STEM areas even after getting the corresponding education, the adaptation

(1983) and «Reasons for Attempting Suicide Questionnaire» D. Johns, R.R. Holden (1997) on a sample of 290 people hospitalized in Moscow Ambulance Research Institute named after N.V. Sklifosovsky after incomplete attempts to commit suicide. Patients in the department of crisis conditions and psychosomatic disorders aged 16 to 44 participated in the questioning and testing. When assessing the psychometric properties of the techniques adapted on a sample of 290 suicides, satisfactory results were obtained for their reliability and construct validity. Using the method of the main components with rotation varimax, the correspondence of the factor structure of Russian versions to the structure of the original tests was confirmed. The Russian-language versions of the Psych Psychology Scale, Reasons for Living Inventory and Reasons for Attempting Suicide Questionnaire can be used to analyze the reasons for voluntary withdrawal and assess the extent of suicide risk in people of working age with auto aggressive behavior.

The study of biodiversity, growth, development, and metabolism of cultivated microorganisms is an integral part of modern microbiological, biotechnological, and medical research. Such studies require the development of new methods of isolation, cultivation, manipulation, and study of individual bacterial cells and their consortia. To this end, in recent years, there has been an active development of different isolation and three-dimensional cell positioning methods. In this review, the optical tweezers, surface heterogeneous functionalization, multiphoton lithography, microfluidic techniques, and laser printing are reviewed. Laser printing is considered as one of the most promising techniques and is discussed in detail.
A Strengths-Based Intervention to Promote Class Attendance
Authors: Davis Ashley
Published: December 2018

In social work education, students begin to develop professionalism, including the ability to be present, punctual, and prepared in the workplace. Class attendance and timeliness can offer one opportunity to learn and demonstrate these skills. This teaching note describes the use of an attendance plan with a class of BSW students (N=17) taking a required early morning course. The attendance plan was an individualized, strengths-based intervention that prompted students to identify challenges that could result in absences and tardiness, as well as strategies and resources to mitigate the effects. The data include the content of students' attendance plans and their end-of-semester reflections about this tool. In addition to promoting attendance and professionalism, students reported that their plan helped to build rapport with the instructor and increase their sense of agency, empowerment, and collaboration. Connections to social work practice are also described.

Published: December 2018

Baccalaureate social work educators continue to confront the task of educating numerous underprepared students seeking BSW degrees. To meet the increasing need for qualified social work professionals, it is important to find evidence-based methods to help academically struggling social work students. Students Helping Students is a pilot program designed to increase academic and social-emotional skills of undergraduate social work students. MSW student interns delivered 12-week curricula to social work majors to improve study skills, writing skills, and reading fluency and decrease perceived stress. Pre- and posttest results were analyzed using single subject design and dependent samples t-tests. Study participants significantly improved on three of the four measures: study skills (t=−2.23, p=.046), writing skills (t=−3.15, p=.007), and stress (t=5.17, p=.001). Study participants improved, but not significantly, on reading fluency (t=−.95, p=.361).

Published: December 2018

Interprofessional education is being used in many professional programs to help students develop interprofessional collaboration skills. This article examines baccalaureate social work students' participation in an interprofessional group project. Students worked in assigned interprofessional teams to research and report on a designated health-care profession. The project was developed by faculty members in other disciplines to meet their accreditation standards. Students' perceptions before and after the project were measured using a modified Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale. Results indicated that social work students benefited from participating in the project. They reported improved understanding of the role of other professions in teams and, more important, social work students had the largest increase in their perceived importance of learning communication skills with students from other health-care disciplines. Results are discussed in light of the 2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards competencies related to interprofessional practice.
Incidence and implications of spleniculi: a five-year experience
Authors: Govindaraj Sridar , Roshini A. P.
Published: December 2018

Background: Spleniculi or accessory spleen, is a congenital anomaly occurring in 10% of individuals.  Spleniculi resembles normal spleen in structure and in immunological function. Certain hematological and radiological investigations can indicate residual splenic function. They can enlarge following splenectomy and be the source of recurrent symptoms in those operated on for hematological disorders.Methods: Authors did a retrospective study in a tertiary care hospital to estimate the incidence and to describe the location and number of spleniculi in patients undergoing splenectomy, both elective and emergency, over a 5-year period - October 2013 to October 2018. Total patients included was 186.Results: Majority of the patients were in the age group of 18-45years. 16 (8.6%) had spleniculi, found incidentally and confirmed histopathologically. Hematological disorders, out of which Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura 70 (49.6%) was the most common indication. Commonest location was in the hilum, 12 (75%), second being, near the tail of pancreas. 1 patient presented with a left hypochondriac mass, which was confirmed as enlarged spleniculi on histopathology, post - relook surgery.Conclusions: Accessory spleens are asymptomatic and have a high chance of being overlooked during splenectomy, which could be one of the causes of relapse in hematological disorders.

Published: December 2018

Background: PLMA is a recent, complex, and ingenious development with some added feature of classic LMA like modified dual cuff, drain tube, positive pressure ventilation at higher peak inspiratory pressure. Study was to evaluate and compare the use of classical laryngeal mask airway, ProSeal laryngeal mask airway, and endotracheal tube with controlled ventilation in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic procedure.Methods: About 150 patients, ASA risk I and II, posted for elective gynecological laparoscopy were recruited in the study. All the patients between 18 to 45years of age were randomly divided in three groups, group PLMA, group CLMA, group ETT (50 patients each). Attempt of insertion of airway device, leaks pressure, pulmonary ventilation, hemodynamic; heart and MAP, gastric distention was recorded. All patients were of middle age group, comparable in weight. Mean duration of laparoscopy was comparable in all the groups.Results: Significant rise in heart rate and mean arterial pressure seen in group ETT after induction of anesthesia. Changes in the end tidal CO2 and peak airway pressure after induction of anesthesia, before and after pneumoperitonium were comparable in all three groups. After head low position peak airway pressure is slightly raised in group PLMA, group CLMA. Gastric distension was noted higher in group 10 % as compare to group PLMA (8%) and group (2%). Incidence of sore throat (22%), nausea vomiting (14%) and airway trauma (14%) was higher in group ETT.Conclusions: Hemodynamic stability was better in and CLMA group at time of induction and comparable in all three groups at time of pneumoperitoneum and trendelenburg position along with pulmonary ventilation. Post-operative sore throat, nausea vomiting was higher with endotracheal tube.
