Published: December 2018

Background
. Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been demonstrated as a risk and prognostic marker in many of cardiovascular diseases. A relationship between PLR and severity of carotid stenosis has been shown. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between PLR and all cause mortality in patients with carotid arterial disease.

Methods
. This retrospective study included 146 patients who had been performed selective carotid angiography. Carotid stenosis were graded by the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) criteria. Platelet to lymphocyte ratio was calculated as the ratio of platelets to lymphocytes. The end point of the study was all-cause mortality.

Results
. During median follow-up of 16 months (0-65 months) 15 (10.3%) patients suffered all-cause mortality. 50 patients (34.2%) underwent carotid endarterectomy and 69 patients (47.3%) had non-carotid cardiac surgery. 38 patients (26.02%) had cerebrovascular events (stroke/transient ischemic attack) at admission. NASCET grades were not different between survivors and non-survivors. Non-survivors had significantly lower hemoglobin (Hb) levels (12.7 ± 1.6 g/dL vs. 13.7 ± 1.7 g/dL, p = 0.031) and they were older than survivors (74.2 ± 8.4 years vs. 68.6 ± 8.5 years, p = 0.029). Non-survivors had significantly higher PLR values compared with survivors (190.3 ± 85.6 and 126.8 ± 53.8, p = 0.017). In multivariate analysis, only PLR predicted all-cause mortality in patients with carotid artery stenosis.

Conclusion
. In our study, higher PLR was associated with increased all-cause mortality.
Dermoscopy of the Month: Dermoscopy of Primary Cutaneous B-Cell Lymphoma
Authors: Kremić Zorana , Vojvodić Aleksandra , Dinić Miroslav , Petrov Nenad , Tasić Olga Radić , Sekulović Lidija Kandolf
Published: December 2018

Primary cutaneous B- cell lymphomas (PCBLs) are B-cell malignant neoplasms that originate in the skin, and have no extracutaneous manifestations of disease at the time of diagnosis. PCBLs are classified into three main types: primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL), primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL), and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL- LT). Dermoscopic characterization of PCBLs has been limited and dermoscopy may help to augment the clinical recognition of PCBLs with the most common dermoscopic findings of salmon colored areas and serpentine vessels. Recognition of dermoscopic features of primary cutaneous B- cell lymphomas can improve the early diagnosis of these tumors and their proper management.
Norms in Deliberation: The Role of the Principles of Justice and Universalization in Practical Discourses on the Justice of Norms
Authors: Corredor Cristina
Published: December 2018

Discursive theories of justice have been questioned for putting forward high-level principles that should nevertheless play a role in practical discourses in which the justice of a claim is at stake. Here, I will critically examine and systematize the main tenets in Rawls’s and Habermas’s discursive theories, and will suggest that the principles of justice (Rawls) and universalization (Habermas) can and play the role of mandates of optimalization in real deliberations on justice.
Towards a Model of Argument Strength for Bipolar Argumentation Graphs
Authors: Rast Erich
Published: December 2018

Bipolar argument graphs represent the structure of complex pro and contra arguments for one or more standpoints. In this article, ampliative and exclusionary principles of evaluating argument strength in bipolar acyclic argumentation graphs are laid out and compared to each other. Argument chains, linked arguments, link attackers and supporters, and convergent arguments are discussed. The strength of conductive arguments is also addressed but it is argued that more work on this type of argument is needed to properly distinguish argument strength from more general value-based components of such arguments. The overall conclusion of the article is that there is no justifiably unique solution to the problem of argument strength outside of a particular epistemological framework.
Overcoming Disagreement Through Ordering: Building an Epistemic Hierarchy
Authors: Hinton Martin
Published: December 2018

This paper begins with an assessment of the origin of the term ‘deep disagreement’ to reflect fundamental differences in argument procedure and suggests an alternative explanation of such stalemates that may apply in many cases and does lead to a possible resolution strategy, through discussion of the ordering of certain principles, rather than their acceptance or rejection. Similarities are then drawn with disputes which are supported by conflicting expert opinions and I lay out the advantages of seeking to resolve them through the construction of an epistemic hierarchy. It is noted that while such hierarchies may not be easy to build, and are certainly not fool-proof, their importance is in the provision of a mechanism by which an apparently stalled debate can move forward, leading to a better understanding of the conflicting positions, if not full resolution.
Ad Misericordiam Revisited
Authors: Könczöl Miklós
Published: December 2018

The paper discusses the nature and functioning of argumentum ad misericordiam, a well-known but less theorised type of argument. A monograph by D. Walton (1997) offers an overview of definitions of misericordia (which he eventually translates as ‘pity’), as well as the careful analysis of several cases. Appeals to pity, Walton concludes, are not necessarily fallacious. This view seems to be supported and further refined by the critical remarks of H. V. Hansen (2000), as well as the recent work of R. H. Kimball (2001, 2004) and A. Aberdein (2016) focusing on the virtue ethical aspects of such arguments. There is, on this account, a difference between ad misericordiam arguments and fallacies, even though the former may be fallacious in some cases. In this paper I argue for a narrower concept of ad misericordiam, as distinguished from the more generic class of appeals to pity, limiting it to cases in which someone asks for the non-application of a certain rule, clearly relevant to their case, with reference to some (unfavourable) circumstance, which is, however, irrelevant for the application of the rule.
“Even Though”: On the Different Functions of Discounting Expressions in Pro and Con Arguments
Authors: Botting David
Published: December 2018

We often say things like “Even though X, Y” or “In spite of Y, X”. What do we mean when we say things like this? What does it imply about the reasons involved? I will argue that there are at least some cases, namely when they are used in the conclusions of conductive arguments, where it should be seen as modifying our expression of X and indicating a certain kind of affect towards X, and this is characteristic of (the most interesting class of) conductive arguments. Showing that there are such uses thus shows that there are conductive arguments, or at least arguments with this characteristic feature, and, conversely, it will be shown that it is by taking the reasoning to be conductive that we can best make sense of these uses. I do not intend a comprehensive survey of all possible uses of “even though” or of all accounts of conductive arguments that have been given.
Logical Culture as a Common Ground for the Lvov-Warsaw School and the Informal Logic Initiative
Authors: Johnson Ralph H. , Koszowy Marcin
Published: December 2018

In this paper, we will explore two initiatives that focus on the importance of employing logical theories in educating people how to think and reason properly, one in Poland: The Lvov-Warsaw School; the other in North America: The Informal Logic Initiative. These two movements differ in the logical means and skills that they focus on. However, we believe that they share a common purpose: to educate students in logic and reasoning (logical education conceived as a process) so that they may be able to apply their skills to analyze the issues in their society (logical culture as a result of logical education). The aim of the paper is to justify this claim by exploring research objectives and products that are common to both movements.
Physical culture between rationalism and theoanthropocentrism
Authors: Živanović Nenad , Milošević Zoran
Published: December 2018

Physical culture with the man in its centre has always been an integral part of social events and troubles in various times and ages. Regardless the need to adjust its theory and practice to the given requirements and social circumstances of the time it has always been stretched between rationalism and theanthropos-centrism. Rationalism and its right wing the Enlightenment had formed deep furrows in the area of physical culture, (too) since the age of Pythagoras, Epicurus, Plato and later Origen and the Neoplatonists and Descartes' ''I think, therefore I am''. The great Njegoš made a clear judgement of the general effects of Rationalism in his work The Ray of the Microcosm: ''You, Pythagoras and you, Epicurus, ... You have degraded a being a man.'' Indeed, only a glimpse at today's events and the development of sport and physical exercise is enough to prove his words to be true. On the other hand, thenathropos-centrism with its theory and practice bring back hope that not all is lost, when everything is lost (R.P. Nogo). Theanthroposcentrism or, God-man centrism as it can be called, approaches man with Love and belief that physical exercises is divine food for the human being. And that the food is given to him so that he can master the good as gifted from the Creator, to stand firm, get strong and divinized. Therefore, we can say that Rationalism and Thanthropos-centrism are two views of and two approaches to man (even) in modern times. Behind the first one there is pride whereas behind the second one there is Love. It is up to man himself to choose his way.
The Dynamics of Public and Private Debt in Ghana
Authors: Aimola Akingbade Urungbodi , Odhiambo Nicholas M.
Published: December 2018

This paper explores the dynamics of public and private debt in Ghana for the past 32 years. Ghana’s total public debt stock to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio has remained above the 60.0% sustainability threshold recommended by the West Africa Monetary Zone (WAMZ) since 2013. Implemented bank reforms in the country show an upward trend for domestic credit to private sector by banks as a percentage of GDP. Using exploratory review approach, the paper identified fiscal dominance, cost of borrowing, deterioration in export earnings, ineffective fiscal, monetary and debt management policies coordination as factors responsible for changes in total public debt stock. On the other hand, increased domestic borrowings by government from the banks, and Deposit Money Banks’ (DMBs)’ adverse selection in private sector credit allocation affect changes in domestic credit to the private sector by banks. Of these causes, fiscal dominance is the major determinant of public and private debt in Ghana. The study, therefore, recommends that government should pursue fiscal operations that are necessary to put public debt on a declining path. In addition, effective coordination of fiscal, monetary and debt management policies need to be strengthened together with the autonomy of the Bank of Ghana in the use of its monetary policy instruments.
Study of Consumer’s Unconscious Reaction towards the Use of Anthropomorphic Appearance of AI: An Eye-Tracking Experiment
Authors: Ene Irina
Published: December 2018

With disruptive technologies constantly emerging, the impact of artificial intelligence is becoming a relevant topic nowadays. An extensive investment in business intelligence support systems has been recognized as one of the top priorities of most successful managers. However, these constant internal changes of systems and management styles rarely happen smooth and natural, and frequently they trigger serious issues for the companies and its interactions with their customers. Implementations like automated call centers and online payment systems are just mainstream examples which can be used to show the numerous implications of the intrusion of artificial intelligence systems in our everyday life. With the increasing use of various forms of technology, an ongoing discussion has emerged about people's willingness to accept these technological trends. There are, of course, both pro and counter arguments to be discussed. In this article there are presented the results of an eye-tracking experiment about the reaction of consumers towards several forms of artificial intelligence. It has been shown that consumers have the tendency to react more at unexpected situations involving robots and forms of artificial intelligence.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a fundamental requirenment in Education. ICT plays an important role in improving the quality of higher education. In improving the quality of higher education, especially Hindus-based colleges, a management model of academic service management is needed in terms of policy makers, planners, organizers, implementers, and controlling the quality of academic services. The data was collected throughout observation, interviews, and document analysis. Particularly for data analysis, an interactive model was used including data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusions. The results of this study indicated that the application of quality management of ICT-based academic services is highly effective in higher education because of policy documents and quality control instrumentation which resulted on an optimal and fast service processes, easy coordination and integration between many ICT-based academic service institutions, academic information system database (SIAKAD) and PDDIKTI, a qualified control institutions specifically in aspects of institutional structure, human resources, and quality instrumentation; and there is a commitment from all steakholder owners to implement a quality and ICT-based culture.
The Nature of Chemisorbed CO2 in Zeolite A
Authors: Rzepka Przemyslaw , Bacsik Zoltán , Pell Andrew J. , Hedin Niklas , Jaworski Aleksander
Published: December 2018

Formation of CO32- and HCO3- species without participation of the framework oxygen atoms upon chemisorption of CO2 in zeolite |Na12|-A is revealed. The transfer of O and H atoms is very likely to have proceeded via the involvement of residual H2O or acid groups. A combined study by solid-state 13C MAS NMR, quantum chemical calculations, and in situ IR spectroscopy showed that the chemisorption mainly occurred by the formation of HCO3-. However, at a low surface coverage of physisorbed and acidic CO2, a significant fraction of the HCO3- was deprotonated and transformed into CO32-. We expect that similar chemisorption of CO2 would occur for low-silica zeolites and other basic silicates of interest for the capture of CO2 from gas mixtures.

Published: December 2018

The review analyzes the latest American clinical guidelines on the effectiveness of cervical cancer screening programs, as well as references on the use of the immunomodulator isoprinosine for the treatment of patients infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV). The high prevalence of HPV and its role in the development of cervical cancer are shown. Isoprinosine belongs to immunomodulators with antiviral activity. It inhibits the replication of viral DNA and RNA by binding to cell ribosomes and changing their stereochemical structure. HPV infection, especially in the early stages, may be successfully cured till the complete elimination of the virus. Inosine Pranobex (Izoprinozin) having dual action and the most abundant evidence base, may be recognized as the optimal treatment option.

Introduction

The HIV epidemic represents an important public health issue in Europe particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Global AIDS Monitoring indicators (GAM) have been widely and jointly promoted as a set of crucial standardised items to be adopted for monitoring and responding to the epidemic.

Methods

The Sialon II study, implemented in 13 European cities (2013-14), was a complex multi-centre integrated bio-behavioural cross-sectional survey targeted at MSM, with a concomitant collection of behavioural and biological (oral fluid or blood specimens) data. Rigorous sampling approaches for hard-to-reach populations were used (time-location sampling and respondent-driven sampling) and GAM indicators were calculated; sampling frames were adapted to allow weighted estimates of GAM indicators.

Results

4,901 MSM were enrolled. HIV prevalence estimates ranged from 2.4% in Stockholm to 18.0% in Bucharest. When exploring city-level correlations between GAM indicators, prevention campaigns significantly correlated with levels of condom use and level of HIV testing among MSM.

Conclusion

The Sialon II project has made an important contribution to the monitoring and evaluation of the HIV epidemic across Europe, integrating the use of GAM indicators within a second generation HIV surveillance systems approach and in participatory collaboration with MSM communities. It influenced the harmonisation of European data collection procedures and indicators via GAM country reporting and contributed essential knowledge informing the development and implementation of strategic, evidence-based HIV prevention campaigns for MSM.
COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF ALEN, M. MONTESORI AND S. FRENE’s PEDAGOGICAL CONCEPTS
Authors: Martianova M.E
Published: December 2018

The article examines the main pedagogical concepts of the 20th century, the authors of which are scientists M. Montessori, S. Frenne and Alain (Emile-Auguste Chartier). Their main aim was to find pedagogical ways to improve the educational system and bring up new generation which was capable to face new life demands. The child should not be a reservoir of knowledge, but he had to be educated as a thinking creature that combines intelligence, creativity and subconscious. Three scholars had the main humanistic ideas of learning that would allow a child to develop his natural properties and opportunities. They agreed that the first step in acquiring the necessary skills was developing of self-discipline. Despite following the main vector for learning, scientists used different educational methods and approaches. The main components which should be presented in teacher, according to M. Montessori are the ability to create comfortable and creative environment; to communicate with the students and to observe their work. The main elements of the pedagogical model by S. Frene, which stimulate the students’ interest in learning, are analyzed. The most famous examples are free text methods, educational cards, school printing and magazines which, according to the educator, can grow students’ interest, as curiosity is the best encouragement for learning. The idea of Alain’s educational double function, which consists of preparing for the present and future difficulties, is observed. Having compared the scholar’s pedagogical concepts, we have emphasized the basic principles of teaching, which are used nowadays. They are the principles of freedom and discipline, the principle of mentoring, the principle of favorable environment and the principle of working capacity.
System of fundamentalization of professional training of future social workers on the basis of integration of innovative technologies
Authors: Rebukha Liliya
Published: December 2018

Approaches to the definition of the fundamentalization of professional education, which are directed at improving traditional education,are actualized in the article. The direction of the fundamentalization of education, in which gained knowledge has a great professional potential (involvement of innovative social experience, leading achievements of humanity and its intellectual potential into the educational process, focus on the values of the future profession), is determined. The main components of the system of fundamentalization of the professional training of future social workers on the basis of the integration of innovative technologies are investigated, the theories and methodologies of education, the paradigms of education, goals, content, methods, forms and means of education, educational technologies and organizational systems are described. The content of educational disciplines is revealed in accordance with personally oriented and professionally oriented training strategies that are directed at self-development of the individual and taking into account the dynamism of the professional work of the social worker and the ever-increasing changes in social work. The criteria for selecting the content of university education are outlined and their division into internal, connected with the science, and external, as universal and socially recognized, professional values is made. It is concluded that the effectiveness of the system of fundamentalization of education is determined by the unification of fundamentalization, professionalization and integration of innovative technologies into a single, holistic process, which serve as the basis for the fundamentalization of the professional training of future specialists in the socio-humanitarian sphere.
SELF-EFFICACY AS A FACTOR OF PROFESSIONALIZATION OF STUDENTS
Authors: Muzуka Olena
Published: December 2018

The article deals with the peculiarities of self-efficacy of freshmen students. The structure and possibilities of development of separate components of self-efficacy in educational-professional activity are analyzed. The results of empirical research are described and and assumptions made about inter- and intra-subjective conditions for the inclusion of self-efficacy in value-motivational regulatory processes that promote the professionalization of students.

According to the results of the study, first-year students are generally determined by a rather high level of self-efficacy, which is an indicator of psychological readiness for profession. The formation of professional self-efficacy is largely influenced by the conditions of the social environment and educational and professional activities. Self-efficacy is based on value experience and internal standards of activity, defines the direction and motivation of a person. In this regard, self-efficacy is one of the most important factors for the successful professionalization of students.
Rock Failure Analysis under Dynamic Loading Based on a Micromechanical Damage Model
Authors: Ahmadi Mohammad Hosein , Molladavoodi Hamed
Published: December 2018

A micromechanical constitutive damage model accounting for micro-crack interactions was developed for brittle failure of rock materials under compressive dynamic loading. The proposed model incorporates pre-existing flaws and micro-cracks that have same size with specific orientation. Frictional sliding on micro-cracks leading to inelastic deformation is very influential mechanism resulting in damage occurrence due to nucleation of wing-crack from both sides of pre-existing micro-cracks. Several homogenization schemes including dilute, Mori-Tanaka, self-consistence, Ponte-Castandea & Willis are usually implemented for up-scaling of micro-cracks interactions. In this study the Self-Consistent homogenization Scheme (SCS) was used in the developed damage model in which each micro-crack inside the elliptical inclusion surrounded by homogenized matrix experiences a stress field different from that acts on isolated cracks. Therefore, the difference between global stresses acting on rock material and local stresses experienced by micro-crack inside inclusion yields stress intensity factor (SIF) at the cracks tips which are utilized in the formulation of the dynamic crack growth criterion. Also the damage parameter was defined in term of crack density parameter. The developed model was programmed and used as a separate and new constitutive model in the commercial finite difference software (FLAC). The dynamic uniaxial compressive strength test of a brittle rock was simulated numerically and the simulated stress-strain curves under different imposed strain rates were compared each other. The analysis results show a very good strain rate dependency especially in peak and post-elastic region. The proposed model predicts a macroscopic stress-strain relation and a peak stress (compressive strength) with an associated transition strain rate beyond which the compressive strength of the material becomes highly strain rate sensitive. Also the damage growth process was studied by using the proposed micromechanical damage model and scale law was plotted to distinguish the dynamic and quasi-dynamic loading boundary. Results also show that as the applied strain rate increases, the simulated peak strength increases and the damage evolution becomes slower with strain increment.

Published: December 2018

In this study, we divided the quality of mathematics instructions into five factors. We then measured the instructional quality of elective courses for mathematics in high school. To do this, we used the MIQP (Instructional Quality Profile for Mathematics that was developed based on the IQP in a previous research, and selected three subjects, which were mathematics (Math Ⅱ), probability and statistics (Pro. & Stat.), and calculus(CalⅠ). The results for this study were as follows: First, in terms of the consistency of teaching goals and contents presentation of a textbook, two courses of MathⅡ and Pro. & Stat. were of insufficient levels for many teaching goals. On the other hand, while the CalⅠ course was above the normal level. Second, in terms of the consistency of teaching goals and test, two courses of MathⅡ and Pro. & Stat. were lacking in level, while the CalⅠ course was in a normal level. Third, in terms of the consistency of content presentation for textbooks and tests, two courses of Pro. & Stat. and CalⅠ were overally normal or good. On the other hand, the MathⅡ course was lower. Fourth, in terms of adequacy of content presentation of textbooks, more than 25% of the teaching goals were below the required level in all the three courses. Fifth, in terms of adequacy of test, the quality of test items were good in all three courses. However, the redistribution of the number of items considering the importance of teaching goals was required.
The Interconnections between Russian Philosophy and Other Realms of Public Consciousness
Authors: Sukhov A. D.
Published: December 2018

Among the characteristic features of Russian philosophy, there is its openness and connections with other realms of public consciousness. In the Middle Ages Orthodox religion (i.e. theology as theoretical part of it) was trying to take over the main functions of Russian philosophy. Philosophy was not just under the aegis of religion, as it was in Western Europe and Byzantium, but in its depths. Active philosophical life manifested itself under non-philosophical covers. Russian literature also is involved in philosophy. A plenty of a philosophical writers could doubtlessly be called great. They are: Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, etc. The things that each of them has brought into philosophy are very different in size and direction. As a result of the openness of Russian philosophy appears a unique ideological element which borders on natural science. This element was philosophical on its nature, but it had a strong and sound ties with natural science. No less important for Russian philosophy its connection with historical science. Philosophical ideas and categories are involved in the study of historical events and processes. Historical science, enriched with philosophy, does not remain extraneous to it. Philosophical historians also influenced different sections of philosophy: philosophy of history, social and political philosophy, philosophy of religion, philosophical anthropology… Russian philosophy penetrated into other spheres – music, painting, etc., where it was represented by quite significant figures, in particular – Alexander Scriabin, Nikolay Roerich. The philosophical views of Scriabin and Roerich were not limited to the framework of their theoretical, philosophical constructions. Artistic intuition embodied these constructions in the creation of art. Nowadays contacts of Russian philosophy in its various manifestations with other areas of intelligence also do not lose their attractiveness.
Leo Tolstoy and the Search for True Christianity in Russian Philosophy
Authors: Evlampiev I. I.
Published: December 2018

In the article the basic principles of L. Tolstoy’s teaching are singled out, which according to his critics testify to its “non-Christian” character. Among these principles, there are emphasis on personal religious experience; emphasis on the importance of reason as the main ability of man in his relationship with God; the understanding of God as an impersonal absolute embracing all that exists. The main principle of Tolstoy’s teaching is the possibility of a person’s merging with God, this leads to the loss of the personality of man; on the other hand, after merging person with God evil, suffering and death become inessential: a religious person must come to an understanding of life as a blessing and realize his own eternity – uncreatedness and indestructibility. Jesus Christ is understood by Tolstoy as a great teacher, and not as a Savior: Christ brought the doctrine of how to make a life good and perfect. Tolstoy denies the idea of a personal bodily resurrection, considering it to be characteristic of Judaism; in the teaching of Tolstoy man is eternal, and death refers only to the empirical level of our existence. It is shown that Tolstoy’s teaching in all these principles coincides with the teaching of Gnostic Christianity. If the hypothesis that the Gnostic apocrypha express the most ancient layer of Christian ideas is true, Tolstoy’s teaching can be recognized as the exact expression of the true, original Christianity.

Objective: To evaluate functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) of patients with chronic wounds. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study composed of 74 patients with chronic wounds accompanied at a reference center for the treatment of complex wounds in Teresina, state of Piaui. Data were collected using the Katz index and the Cardiﬀ Wound Impact Schedule. Results: Among the domains, the “well-being” had a lower mean score and the degree of dependence obtained a signiﬁcant association with the well-being and “social life” domains. The bathing, dressing, personal hygiene and locomotion activities showed an association between the domains of QoL. Conclusion: The degree of independence in performing the basic activities of daily living, especially bathing, dressing and personal hygiene, presented higher scores between domains, indicating a better QoL. It is expected that the implantation of measures that help to preserve the functional capacity will improve the patients’ QoL.

Published: December 2018

Although the infographic and design communities have used simple pictographic representations for decades, it is still unclear whether they can make visualizations more effective. Using simple charts, we tested how pictographic representations impact (1) memory for information just viewed, as well as under the load of additional information, (2) speed of finding information, and (3) engagement and preference in seeking out these visualizations. We find that superfluous images can distract. But we find no user costs – and some intriguing benefits – when pictographs are used to represent the data.
