O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a velocidade de caminhada como preditora da incapacidade funcional (IF) em idosos. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, de corte transversal, realizado em um município do Estado da Bahia, região nordeste do Brasil com amostra probabilística de 310 idosos com média de idade de 71.62 (DP= 8.15) anos, cadastrados nas Unidades de Saúde da Família do município. Foram construídas curvas Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) e determinado o critério discriminador da velocidade de caminhada de 2.44 m (segundos) para incapacidade funcional. Os tempos de caminhada que melhor discriminam a IF foram de ≥12,83 segundos para os homens e ≥10,77 segundos para mulheres. Conclui-se que a velocidade de caminhada tem boa capacidade de discriminar a IF em idosos e pode ser utilizada na avaliação gerontológica e em levantamento das condições de saúde dos idosos.

Biomechanical comparison of two percutaneous gastropexy techniques for securing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes in canine cadavers
Authors: Bishop Bradley A. , Gallagher Alexander E.
Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE

To biomechanically assess outcomes for 2 percutaneous gastropexy techniques and determine the amount of time necessary to perform the techniques for securing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes in canine cadavers.

ANIMALS

18 canine cadavers.

PROCEDURES

6 cadavers were assigned to each of 3 groups (PEG tube only, PEG tube with T-fastener gastropexy, and PEG tube with U-stitch gastropexy). Time to completion of placement of a PEG tube and gastropexy was recorded. After tubes were placed, the stomach and body wall on the left side of the abdomen were removed and biomechanically tested. Maximum tension at the time of initial failure of the PEG tube or gastropexy was recorded.

RESULTS

Significantly more force was required to induce failure for the T-fastener and U-stitch techniques than for the PEG tube only technique. In addition, both the T-fastener and U-stitch techniques required significantly more time for placement than did the PEG tube only technique.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that performing a T-fastener or U-stitch gastropexy may decrease the risk of early dislodgement of a PEG tube in dogs. However, studies conducted with these techniques in live dogs would be necessary to confirm this hypothesis. The additional amount of time needed to perform the T-fastener or U-stitch gastropexy would likely be clinically unimportant.
Effect of bite distance of an epitendinous suture from the repair site on the tensile strength of canine tendon constructs
Authors: Duffy Daniel J. , Cocca Christina J. , Kersh Mariana E. , Kim Woojae , Moore George E.
Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate effects of bite distance of an interlocking horizontal mattress epitendinous suture (IHMES) from the repair site on tensile strength of canine tendon repairs.

SAMPLE

72 canine cadaveric superficial digital flexor tendons (SDFTs).

PROCEDURES

Transverse tenotomy was performed, and SDFTs were repaired with a locking-loop construct (LL construct) or 3 LL constructs with IHMES suture bites placed 5 (LL + 5ES construct), 10 (LL + 10ES construct), or 15 (LL + 15ES construct) mm from the transection site (18 SDFTs/group). Constructs were loaded to failure. Load at 1− and 3-mm gapping, yield force, failure load, and failure mode were evaluated.

RESULTS

Mean ± SD yield force and failure load for LL constructs were significantly lower than for IHMES constructs. Load at 1− and 3-mm gapping was significantly higher for IHMES constructs. Increasing the bite distance significantly increased construct strength (134.4 ± 26.1 N, 151.0 ± 16.8 N, and 182.1 ± 23.6 N for LL + 5ES, LL + 10ES, and LL + 15ES constructs, respectively), compared with strength for the LL construct. Failure mode differed significantly among constructs when an IHMES was used.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Addition of an IHMES to an LL construct led to increased ultimate tensile strength by 2.5 times and significantly reduced gap formation. Increasing the IHMES bite distance increased yield force by 2.1, 2.3, and 2.7 times for bites placed 5, 10, and 15 mm from the tenotomy, respectively. Positioning an IHMES at a greater distance from the repair site provided superior biomechanical strength for tendon repairs in dogs.

Pembangunan dan Mekanisme Sistem Perencanaan (Studi Kasus Desa Pengabean dan Desa Karanganyar)
Authors: Zainudin Arif , Sutjiatmi Sri
Published: October 2019

Pemerintahan desa adalah organisasi tingkat dasar untuk melayani kebutuhan masyarakat di daerah tertentu. Dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 Tentang desa, diberi wewenang untuk mengurus rumah tangga (pemerintah desa) secara mandiri. Peraturan tersebut tidak hanya memberikan otonomi namun secara sewenang-wenang menambah sumber pendapatan Desa. Sumber pendapatan desa dibagi menjadi tiga klasifikasi yang berasal dari anggaran negara, anggaran, dan pengelolaan aset desa. Dengan sumber pendapatan yang dapat mengembangkan desa, pemerintah desa harus bisa merencanakan program kerja yang ditargetkan dan terukur. Program ini direncanakan melalui dokumen perencanaan pembangunan desa seperti RPJMDes, RKPDes, dan APBDes. Seperti kasus seperti Desa Karanganyar dan Desa Pengabean, desa tersebut tidak memiliki dokumen rencana pembangunan desa. Karena menurut PP 43 tahun 2014 tentang Peraturan Pelaksana Undang-Undang Nomor 6 2014 tentang Desa, menyebutkan bahwa pencairan dana desa harus memiliki dokumen perencanaan. Dengan uraian masalah tersebut, penulis membatasi pokok bahasan tentang model perencanaan pembangunan desa Karanganyar dan Pengabean. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut peneliti melakukan desain siklus perencanaan yang sesuai dengan tipologi masyarakat desa. Desain pengembangan model perencanaan menggunakan pendekatan metode R&D (Penelitian dan Pengembangan) dengan mempertimbangkan perilaku masyrakat

‘Ring Breaker’: Assessing Synthetic Accessibility of the Ring System Chemical Space
Authors: Thakkar Amol , Selmi Nidhal , Reymond Jean-Louis , Engkvist Ola , Bjerrum Esben Jannik
Published: October 2019

Ring systems in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyes are ubiquitous chemical motifs. Whilst the synthesis of common ring systems is well described, and novel ring systems can be readily computationally enumerated, the synthetic accessibility of unprecedented ring systems remains a challenge. ‘Ring Breaker’ enables the prediction of ring-forming reactions, for which we have demonstrated its utility on frequently found and unprecedented ring systems, in agreement with literature syntheses. We demonstrate its performance on a range of ring fragments from the ZINC database and highlight its potential for incorporation into computer aided synthesis planning tools. Additionally, we generate a multi-label dataset using bipartite reaction graphs on which we train ‘Ring Breaker’ to model the relationship between one ring fragment and the multiple reactions recorded for its synthesis in the dataset; we thereby overcome the single-label approaches previously used. These approaches to ring formation and retrosynthetic disconnection offer opportunities for chemists to explore and select more efficient syntheses/synthetic routes.

International Differences in Prison Architecture
Authors: Grönegräs Max
Published: October 2019

This paper examines the differences between the architecture of prisons in Germany and the United States (US). While in Germany, prison design is employed to maximize the privacy of the inmates as well as their freedom of movement, in the US, the close surveillance of the prisoner is regarded as a necessary component of his strict punishment. Several American politicians, academics, activists and journalists regard the German approach towards incarceration as a model that could potentially contribute to an improvement of the prison system in the US. A major obstacle on the way towards betterment are, however, the owners of numerous private American prisons, who employ their inmates under inhumane working conditions that are comparable to slavery. Within the context of this debate, I have interviewed three architects, Edgar Muth, Michael Eschwe and Michael Wächter, who all have either been or currently still are involved in the structural design of German prisons. Their descriptions of generously equipped cells, common residential groups and modernly designed showers draw an image of a prison system the United States could have one day, if the country would be willing to learn some lessons from the German example.
The survival of the ‘Anti-Party Party Paradox’
Authors: Vogelezang Francesco
Published: October 2019

As of June 1, 2018, Italy is governed by two populist factions: the Five Stars Movement (5SM) and the League. The former, being an anti-party party, has become the first political force in only nine years of existence by advocating for a desired change of Italian politics. The latter is instead an extreme-right wing populist faction that has previously ruled with Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party and was heavily involved in corruption scandals. At first sight, this governmental coalition seems antithetical with the proclaimed purity and difference of the 5SM from its ordinary political competitors. What is more, not only the 5SM has recently adopted internal rules which resemble those of established parties, but it has also performed behaviours which are in sharp contradiction with its ideology and values. In light of this contrast, this paper extends Cas Mudde’s (1996) anti-party party paradox to the 5SM by examining how anti-party parties behave in power with other populist factions. It adopts party routinisation theory to analyse how changes of internal organisation within the movement have effectively translated into external behaviours which are ‘party-like’. What emerges is that the Five Stars Movement, despite governing with another populist faction, has become internally and externally routinised as a normal party in the necessary limitations of the Italian political reality. As such, the anti-party party paradox survives even when compromise is achieved at the national level with another populist party.
Populism and Media in Germany: How different newspapers report about the AfD
Authors: Lenz Jannik
Published: October 2019

It has generally been established that the media has an effect on populism and can either help or hinder it. However, there is a lack of research on how populist parties are portrayed in the media. In this paper, I investigate four German newspapers and the way in which they cover the German populist party “Alternative für Deutschland”. The German case is special, as the past German experiences with right-wing radicalism, have led the media in Germany to develop fear of contact or “Berührungsangst” with populism. By conducting a qualitative discourse analysis, I find that all newspapers try to contain the AfD and show signs of “Berührungsangst”. However, it becomes clear that the traditional categories, established through quantitative content analyses, are inadequate to accurately cover all possible responses of the newspapers. Thus, I argue that more qualitative discourse analyses are needed in this field, in order to establish more nuanced categories, upon which future quantitative and qualitative research can build.
Maltese exceptionalism in the populist trend
Authors: Leusch Caroline
Published: October 2019

Malta, as the smallest state of the European Union (EU), has often been neglected when it comes to examining the surge of populism all over the Union. This is due to the fact, that Malta is believed to not have a problem with populism. Nevertheless, some populist parties exist, which are however unable to gain ground during elections and are not expected to enter the national parliament or government any time soon. This study examines why, so far, Malta was able to escape the populist trend and thus, represent an exceptional phenomenon. In order to do so, various factors are taken into account ranging from economy and culture to politics and geology. Populism in this research is examined as arising from severe conditions or i.e. a crisis, to take into account a widely-accepted scholarly argument. The main argument of the study holds that despite experiencing several crises, which could have led to populism, the country was able to withstand populism due to several factors.

Gender And Access To Credit In Micro And Small Enterprises In Mutare, Zimbabwe
Authors: Damiyano David , Dorasamy Nirmala
Published: October 2019

The research study sought to investigate the relationship between access to credit and gender in urban areas of Zimbabwe in which the informal sector is larger than the formal sector. In order to achieve this, the study used the Grameen Theory of micro-lending in Bangladesh, the MC2 theory and ROSCAs theories. The study used secondary data obtained from ZIMSTATS, World Bank, Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI), the Wisrod website and other publications. E-Views was used to analyze the data using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) for estimation. The results obtained revealed that gender and age of the client are insignificant in determining accessibility of credit from MFIs. Work attendance, loan repayment ability and profit per day have a positive relationship with access to credit; and firm age has a negative relationship with access to credit in Zimbabwe. In light of these results, the study recommended the government to increase access of credit so as to increase economic activity where there is a large informal sector.  In addition, it also recommended that the government should implement policies which enable the participation of women and also use credit creation multipliers as a way to increase economic activity leading to economic growth.

They also suggest and implement certain measures for positive development through the combined Corporate action.By Stricter compliance methods, the sustainability is achieved as part of Cleaner Governance.
GST - Sway On Small Scale Industries
Authors: Jayanti.G  , Dr. V.Selvam
Published: October 2019

India being a democratic and republic country, has witnessed the biggest indirect tax reform after much exploration, GST bill roll out on 1 April 2017.  The concept of this reform is for a unified country-wide tax reform system.  Enterprises particularly SMEs are caught in a state of instability.  Several taxes such s excise, service tax etc., have been subsumed with a single tax structure. it is the responsibilities of both centre and state government to shoulder the important responsibility to cater the needs of the people and the nation as a whole.  The main basis of income to the government is through levy of taxes.  To meet the so called socio-economic needs and economic growth, taxes are considered as a main source of revenue for the government.  As per Wikipedia “A tax is a mandatory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed upon tax payer by the government in order to fund various public expenditure”   it is said that tax payment is mandatory, failure to pay such taxes will be punishable under the law.   The Indian tax system is classified as direct and indirect tax.   The indirect taxes are levied on purchase, sale, and manufacture of goods and provision of service.  The indirect tax on goods and services increases its price, this can lead to inflationary trend.  Contribution of indirect taxes to total tax revenue is more than 50% in India, therefore, indirect tax is considered as a major source of tax revenue for the government, which in turn is one of source for GDP growth.  Though indirect tax is a major source of revenue, it had lot of hassles.  To overcome the major issues of indirect tax system the government of India subsumed most of the indirect tax which in turn gave birth to the concept called Goods and Service Tax.

Published: October 2019

Higher education frameworks in numerous nations have extended drastically to meet growing economic and social needs. Educational policies, structures and practices have been essentially affected by globalization. Some of these progressions have been driven by financial forces, while others have been driven by political, technological, and social powers. Globalization's effect on education has brought on a reconsidering of numerous ranges in education, including its purpose, structure, pedagogy, content, instructional methodology, and outcomes assessment. The study aims to investigate the casual relationship between service quality and student behavioral intention, as well as, the mediating effect of student happiness. In the current study, the researcher adopted the quantitative technique (using questionnaire method) to achieve the research aim. SPSS25 and Smart PLS3 are implemented for data analysis. The results revealed that higher education service qualities; and student happiness, have a positive effect on student behavioral intention. In addition, student happiness mediates the relationship between higher education service quality and student behavioral intention. Theoretical and practical implications are introduced as well as suggestions for future research.

Nem Revolução Militar (RM) nem Revolução em Assuntos Militares (RAM) apenas mudanças de longa duração condensadas na guerra pelo gênio militar
Authors: Saint-Pierre Héctor Luis , Gonçalves Leandro José Clemente
Published: October 2019

Gerações de historiadores, desde os primórdios do século XX, detiveram-se no estudo e compreensão da transformação da guerra, todavia, seu esforço se converteu numa mitificação do potencial da tecnologia para produzir a mudança revolucionária, social, econômica e política, além da propriamente militar. Aqui discutimos esta mitificação, tanto na chamada “Revoluções Militares” quanto na “Revolução dos Assuntos Militares”. Apresentamos críticas bibliográficas a estas posições que também contrastamos com contraexemplos históricos. Chegamos a várias conclusões, mas particularmente, à convicção de que não há revoluções na condução e natureza da guerra senão mudanças que se percebem na dinâmica da “longa duração”.
Canadian Citizens’ Helping Intentions toward Syrian Refugees
Authors: Khan Mahnoor , Hamilton Leah
Published: October 2019

Abstract 

Since 2011, over 5 million refugees have fled civil war in Syria (UNHCR, 2018). Canada has responded tothe Syrian refugee crisis by resettling over 50,000 Syrian refugees and encouraging its citizens to supportthe integration process. Previous research has shown that when in-group members take the perspectiveof an out-group it leads to increased helping intentions toward that out-group (Mashuri, Hasanah,Rahmawati, 2013). To replicate and extend these findings in a Canadian context, the current study soughtto answer the question: How does national identity impact the relationship between perspective taking andhelping intentions toward Syrian refugees? The results indicated that when undergraduate participantsengaged in perspective taking, it led to increased financial helping intentions toward Syrian refugees,and this relationship was mediated by empathy. It was also found that individuals with a greater ethnicnational identity had lower levels of political and financial helping intentions toward Syrian refugees.

Socioeconomic Segregation and School Choice in American Public Schools
Authors: Marcotte Dave E. , Dalane Kari
Published: October 2019

We examine the effect of the expansion of charter schools on socioeconomic segregation in American public education. Using a district-level panel data set from 1998 to 2015, we describe and model changes in within-district segregation of low-income students, proxied by free-lunch eligibility (FLE). We show that the segregation of FLE students from non-FLE students increased by about 15% in large school districts and find that charter school penetration and growth played a role in increasing socioeconomic segregation within districts. We estimate that a one standard deviation increase in charter enrollment rates increases the dissimilarity index in a district by 6% of a standard deviation. Although this impact is modest, we do find that segregation is more pervasive in the charter sector. So, continued growth of charter schools could exacerbate socioeconomic segregation.

Tefsirde Kültürel Antropolojik Yaklaşım
Authors: BAYSAL Sıddık
Published: October 2019

Tefsirde kültürel antropolojik yaklaşım, müfessirin zihnindeki Kur’an tasavvurunun, duyuları ve duygularının tezahürü konumundaki tefsir metninin –ki buna sahabe ve tȃbiȗn kavilleri de dâhildir-, içinde bulunduğu
süreçle birlikte oluştuğu ve şekillendiği, o süreçten beslendiği ve yine o süreç içinde belirli bir yer kapladığı,
muayyen bir zeminden dinamizmini ve motivasyonunu aldığı, belirli bir adrese hitap ettiği şeklindeki tarihsel
ve kültürel gerçeği temel almaktadır. Bu nedenle anlamın kendisi ve anlama işleminin keyfiyeti noktasında
özneler arası farklılıkların oluşmasını tabii ve kaçınılmaz bir durum olarak görmektedir. Bu itibarla da bir
metnin, sadece iki kapak arasına yerleştirilmiş yazılardan ibaret olmadığını düşünmektedir. Bütün bu gerekçelerden hareketle tefsirde kültürel antropolojik yaklaşım, araştırma konusu olan metni, oluşumuna zemin
teşkil eden gerekçeler, ilgili olduğu gündem, içerdiği gönderiler, dayandığı referanslar ve hitap ettiği sosyal
kesimle birlikte düşünmeyi önermektedir. Bunlar genellikle metinlerde doğrudan seslendirilmeyen harici bağıntılardır. Bu bağıntıları tespit edebilmek için incelediğimiz metni, senkronik ve diakronik yöntemlerle süreç
içindeki tüm hallerini görerek okumamız gerekmektedir. Bu durum, disiplinlerarası ilişkileri zorunlu hale
getirmektedir. Yukarıda ana hatlarıyla çerçevesini çizdiğimiz yaklaşım noktasında ilk akla gelen bilim kuşkusuz kültürel antropolojidir. Her iki yöntemi araştırmalarında kullanan bir konsept olması nedeniyle kültürel
antropoloji, tefsir metinlerini tarih içindeki varlıkları ve uzanımları ile süreğen bir oluş olarak okuma imkanı
verecektir. İşte bu nedenle kültürel antropolojik yaklaşım tefsir ilmi açısından büyük bir öneme sahiptir.
Öncelikle tefsirde kültürel antropolojik yaklaşım ismiyle gündeme getirdiğimiz bu yaklaşımın mahiyeti, referansları, amacı, önemi, temel prensipleri ve tefsir ilmiyle hangi külli kaideye bağlı olarak iletişime geçebileceği
ortaya konmalıdır. Bu çalışma kültürel antropoloji-tefsir ilişkisini bu bağlamda muhtemel sakıncaları ile birlikte ele almaktadır.
