La teoría de sistemas dinámicos, así como la probabilidad y las proporciones de la entropía, sustentan una nueva metodología diagnóstica predictiva que diferencia los estados normales, agudos y crónicos, y la progresión hacia la enfermedad. En este estudio se evaluó la probabilidad y la entropía y sus proporciones de atractores dinámicos construidos a partir de la frecuencia cardiaca y el número de latidos por hora de 30 registros en monitor Holter normales y 60 de infarto agudo de miocardio. La metodología diferenció las dinámicas indicativas de infarto agudo de miocardio de aquellas normales, y cuantificó su nivel de gravedad, lo que la convierte en una herramienta de diagnóstico útil en la práctica clínica. © Acad.

Authors: Gaitán-Duarte Hernando
Published: October 2016

La firma de la paz entre el Gobierno de Colombia y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC), el 26 de septiembre, y su refrendación por el pueblo el día 2 de octubre de 2016, constituyen el punto de partida para que Colombia evolucione, desde las viejas estructuras que tienen raíces en la Colonia y los primeros estadios de la nación, a las estructuras de los países con mayor desarrollo social en el siglo XXI, basadas en la igualdad y la equidad, el respeto por el medio ambiente y por las diferencias, y la lucha contra la corrupción.

Objetivo: analizar la sensibilidad y especificidad de la relación proteína / creatinina en orina como método de detección de proteinuria en mujeres con sospecha de preeclampsia, teniendo en cuenta como estándar de oro la proteinuria en 24 horas.

Materiales y métodos: en un estudio de corte transversal se incluyeron mujeres con embarazo mayor a 20 semanas, hospitalizadas en la Clínica Universitaria Bolivariana de Medellín por sospecha de preeclampsia. Se excluyeron gestantes con infección urinaria al momento del estudio, antecedentes de patologías crónicas que pudieran causar proteinuria y aquellas que no completaron la recolección de la muestra. A todas las pacientes se les realizó una medición de la relación proteína / creatinina en orina ocasional y la proteinuria en 24 horas. Se evaluó la correlación entre estas dos pruebas y el punto de corte de la relación proteína / creatinina con mejor rendimiento para la detección de proteinuria significativa.

Resultados: se incluyeron 200 muestras de orina, encontrando proteinuria significativa en un 27 % del total de las muestras. La relación proteína / creatinina en orina ocasional mostró una alta correlación con la proteinuria de 24 horas (r = 0,775; p < 0,01). El punto de corte con mejor rendimiento para la detección de proteinuria significativa fue 0,30 mg/mg, con una sensibilidad de 83 %, especificidad de 98 %, LR positivo de 60 y LR negativo de 0,17.

Conclusión: la relación proteína / creatinina en orina ocasional puede ser usada como un método rápido, alternativo, para la determinación de proteinuria en pacientes con sospecha de preeclampsia.
High Precision Vehicle Location Technologies Based on Traffic Lights
Authors: Cao Yan , Lei Tao
Published: October 2016

According to the low positioning precision and high cost of traditional vehicle positioning technologies, and combined advantages of the newly arisen visible light communication like no extra transmitter needed, no electromagnetic interference and free license, this paper proposed a vehicle positioning method based on traffic light, which could generate the vehicle's position with the time difference of arrival of the signal light. Also its improved methods based on plan revolution theory were discussed to overcome the deficient in non-coplanar condition and improve the positioning precision. Simulation results showed that these methods, with simple computation and low implementation cost, could realize a real-time high-precision positioning performance, and could meet the requirements of the intelligence transportation system.

The Impact Of Correcting Cognitive Distortions In Reducing Depression And The Sense Of Insecurity Among A Sample Of Female Refugee Adolescents
Authors: Mhaidat Fatin , ALharbi Bassam H.M.
Published: October 2016

This study aimed at identifying the level of depression and sense of insecurity among a sample of female refugee adolescents, and the impact of an indicative program for reducing cognitive distortions in reducing depression and their sense of insecurity. The study sample consisted of 220 female refugee adolescents, 7th to 1st secondary stage, at the governmental schools in the Zarqa educational directorate, who came to Jordan as a result of war conditions in their home land. The experimental sample contained 20 female refugees, the ones who got the highest scores regarding the depression and sense of insecurity scale, and they were set randomly into 2 groups, experimental and control, with 10 females each. The study used the depression scale, and the sense of insecurity scale. It also used an indicative program consisting of 12 sessions, each one lasts for 45 minutes, with a rate of 2 meetings a week. The results indicated that the female refugee adolescents suffer from a medium-level depression, with an average of (73.97%), and a sense of insecurity (69.46%). Findings showed that there was a statistically significant impact at the level (a=0.05) between the control and experimental groups for depression and sense of insecurity among the female refugee adolescents, ascribed to the indicative program.
Deep Knowledge: A Strategy For University Budgetary Cuts
Authors: Reynolds Douglas B.
Published: October 2016

During and after the Financial Crisis of 2008, many institutions of higher learning have had revenue and budgetary reductions, forcing them to make severe university budget cuts and university reductions in force.  Often the university cuts are preceded by a process of evaluation of academic programs where institutions determine what they stand for and value.  One option, when forced to downsize, is to use a business model, such as Sullivan (2004) explains, where high-value, low-cost programs are kept and low-value, high-cost programs are cut.  However, a business model of education does not reflect the true social value of education or the importance of arts, sciences and humanities, where students learn how to struggle with, write about and understand the world.  John Henry Cardinal Newman’s (1852) treatise, The Idea of a University, suggests an alternative strategy of cost cutting that has to do with deep knowledge, i.e. keep the oldest programs in existence on a given university.  Using the deep knowledge concept, a university will cut young (junior programs) first and retain old (senior) programs until the very last, rather than deciding cuts based on a business model.  The deep knowledge concept emphasizes a Socratic ideal where professors and students wrestle over concepts, such as the meaning of “beauty.”
Supporting And Developing Self-Regulatory Behaviours In Early Childhood In Young Children With High Levels Of Impulsive Behaviour
Authors: Dan Aviva
Published: October 2016

Deficits in self-regulatory skills underlie or contribute to a range of adverse developmental problems and disorders, including ADHD (Barkley, 1997), eating disorders (Attie & Brooks-Gunn, 1995) and risk-taking behaviour (Cantor & Sanderson 1998; Eisenberg et al., 2005). Self-regulation has been recognised as an important factor in aiding academic achievements of school-age children. There is less knowledge of the subject in early childhood, yet the development of self-regulatory has been described as an important milestone in early childhood development (Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000). This research describes the implementation of an intervention programme in kindergartens that aimed to help young children with highly impulsive behaviour, develop self-regulatory behaviors. The children were identified by the Achenbach Child behaviour check list (1.5-5) and by the kindergarten teachers. This Research was based on mixed methods. The quantitave data reveled a number of children with highly impulsive behaviour and difficulties in self-regulation. The qualitative data gave a deeper interpretation to these children’s behaviour and the difficulties involved. After the implementation of the program the kindergarten teachers reported on an increase in the children’s self–regulatory skills.By understanding and supporting the processes involved in the development of self-regulation skills, it might be possible for significant adults in young children's lives to have a substantial effect in aiding young children, who are highly impulsive. This was the rationale for the present research.

Authors: McCartney Mark W. , Pierce Elizabeth M. , Mackie Wayne
Published: October 2016

This paper presents a case whose setting is a regional university situated approximately twenty-five miles away from a community.  The community is home to a significant number of the university’s faculty, staff, and students.  The university is asked to provide a commuter bus to transport people to and from the community.  The university, in turn, approaches the community municipal bus service asking if it (the municipal bus service) could provide the requested route.  The case incorporates cash flow management decision making including: (1) identifying necessary information for the analysis, (2) identifying appropriate analytical tools for the analysis, and (3) performing the analysis.  This case is appropriate for first year graduate students, as well as upper level undergraduate business students.  The case is designed to be taught in one class hour and is expected to require two hours of outside preparation by the students.
New Product Launch For Eagle Brand: Marketing Management Case Study – A And B
Authors: MacMillan Amy
Published: October 2016

This two-part case study provides a realistic, thought-provoking, and mildly entertaining venture into the world of new product launches.  Structured questions are posed at the end of each case, with suspense and information building from Case A to B.Case A asks whether and how to champion a new product launch internally, while Case B additionally explores how to sell the idea externally with a marketing plan.  Both case studies are intended for undergraduate marketing or management classes.Ambitious, young Abbie MacFeldon joined a consumer packaged goods company as Brand Manager of its biggest brand, Eagle shoe care. She identifies the need for a new product, a line extension within her brand – a mature brand in need of new life.  Her manager applauds her initiative but says this idea was tried before and failed. The reader learns information about the market, brand, consumer, and company through historical and current data, employee bios, and meetings between Abbie and her colleagues. The reader is asked whether Abbie may have a big idea after all, and if so, how it should be marketed.  To make these decisions, readers evaluate external factors (market, competition, consumer, trends) and internal factors (strategic fit, brand image, cost, feasibility, resources).  Furthermore, the case provokes the reader to think about how a brand manager can overcome initial rejection, build and motivate a team, and convince top management. The case explores the role of company culture, including age, gender, and tradition, and how the young female protagonist can address these.
Open-Market Repurchases, Firm Quality, And Discouraging Short Sellers
Authors: Spurlin W. Paul
Published: October 2016

Announcing an open-market repurchase (OMR) is presented as a potential tool for managers to discourage short selling in their firm’s stock.  Empirical testing determines the relation that abnormal short selling that follows an OMR announcement has with abnormal returns during the announcement period and announcing firm quality. Results show that post-announcement abnormal short sales decrease with positive abnormal returns during the OMR announcement period but that announcing firm quality is unrelated to the level of post-announcement abnormal short sales. Therefore, announcing an OMR may be an effective tool to discourage short sales in a firm’s stock independent of firm quality because abnormal returns around an OMR announcement tend to be positive and short sellers do not appear to distinguish among announcing firms based on firm quality.

Introduction: Though typically found in adolescents, acne frequently affects the adult population. In Portugal, no representative studies about acne prevalence in greater populational areas are known. This study had the following objectives: calculate acne prevalence in primary healthcare patients; its characteristics, including risk factors for onset and worsening; collect information concerning selfmedication and/or prescribed treatment.Material and Methods: Application of a questionnaire and physical examination into a convenience sample, composed by adults from20 - 60 years old that visited, in random days, five primary healthcare centers of the Greater Porto area.Results: From the 1,055 evaluated adults, acne prevalence was estimated at 61.5%. Only 36.8% of acne suffering adults was awareof their condition. More than half of tobacco users (62.3%) had acne. Just 25% of acne sufferers sought treatment. The most affected areas were the malars, differing from the younger disease form.Discussion: Acne prevalence was relatively higher than other studies. The results of this study have confirmed that acne seems to be related with increased calorie intake, tobacco smoking, whole milk and fat-reduced milk consumption, hirsutism, alopecia and seborrhea.Conclusion: In the primary healthcare set, more than half of adults were acne sufferers. These numbers show how important primary healthcare services can be in preventing and intervening when managing acne-related risk factors and psychosocial consequences.

Competências para a preservação e curadoria digitais
Authors: Cunha Murilo Bastos da , Boeres Sonia
Published: October 2016

A Ciência da Informação, ao longo de sua existência, tem sido um campo multi e interdisciplinar, assim como tem sofrido alterações constantes, dado seu objeto de estudo: a informação. Uma vez que este elemento não é estático e está cada vez mais ligado à tecnologia da informação, tem-se visto um desafio surgir: como garantir a permanência das bibliotecas digitais? De que maneira se pode afiançar que os terabytes gerados com cada vez mais velocidade, e nos mais variados formatos, estarão disponíveis e plenamente passíveis de uso ao longo do tempo? Este é um desafio que os profissionais da Ciência da Informação estão sendo provocados a resolver, no processo das chamadas preservação e curadoria digital. Assim, esse artigo objetiva levantar as competências que o profissional da informação deverá ter para efetivar o processo de preservação e curadoria digital. O artigo discute o aparecimento das profissões (sob a ótica da Sociologia), a necessidade do trabalho para a realização do ser humano (Psicologia) e as proficiências dos que exercem o ofício da Ciência da Informação para garantir a preservação de informações digitais nas unidades de informações.

Gestão de repositórios de preservação digital
Authors: Márdero Arellano Miguel Ángel , Oliveira Alexandre Faria de
Published: October 2016

Experiências internacionais de implementação de práticas de preservação digital em repositórios em bibliotecas, museus e arquivos são o objeto deste trabalho. Com base num levantamento bibliográfico sobre o inicio das práticas de preservação em repositórios digitais, foram identificados aspectos importantes tais como políticas de acesso, estratégias usadas, tecnologias testadas, formatos aceitos, modelo de negócios e um desconhecimento ou relativa pouca experiência com as práticas de preservação digital por parte dos gestores desses repositórios. A maioria dos repositórios registrava a dupla função de acesso e preservação, mas, poucos podiam ser considerados “arquivos obscuros” (dark archives), usados apenas para fins de preservação. A aplicação de padrões de preservação digital foi mostrando que apenas instituições de grande porte possuíam definições detalhadas do que podia ser depositado e o uso que podia ser feitos de materiais armazenados. Os gestores desses repositórios tinham algum tipo de orçamento operacional para realizar atividades de preservação. A maioria dos repositórios citados na bibliografia usava uma combinação de ferramentas comerciais e de software livre. Como conclusão, os registros analisados reforçam a necessidade ainda hoje de aplicação de mais de uma estratégia de preservação digital, do uso do modelo de referência OAIS e de auditorias oficiais no desenho de um repositório de preservação, para manter assim, a flexibilidade na integração de funções e serviços que vão além do repositório.

Contribution a l'étude de la filtration sur plaques. IV. Influence du débit sur la qualité de la filtration
Authors: Serrano Michel , Guimberteau Guy
Published: October 2016

Les auteurs montrent que la filtration finisseuse peut être conduite avec un débit supérieur à celui recommandé par le fabricant, sans en diminuer la qualité, à condition d'utiliser des plaques stérilisantes et un vin correctement préfiltré sur diatomées.

Les à-coups de pression sont à éviter avec les plaques stérilisantes, principalement avec celles ne contenant pas d'amiante ; les plaques clarifiantes y sont moins sensibles.

+++

The writers show that the finishing filtration can be carried out with a flow greater than that recommended by the manufacturer, without lowering the quality, on condition that sterilizing plates and a wine correctly pre-filtered over diatoma are used.

Fits and starts in pressure are to be avoided with sterillizzing plates, mainly with those not containing asbestos, clarifying plates are less sensitive to jerky pressure.
Les colloïdes solubles du vin de champagne. Relation avec le « remuage »
Authors: Paranthoën A. , Feuillat Michel
Published: October 2016

Dans ce travail on étudie un échantillonnage de vins de champagne, en vue d'établir une relation entre leur composition en colloïdes et la facilité du « remuage ».

Après champagnisation, les teneurs en colloïdes totaux sont toujours supérieures à celles des vins tranquilles correspondants. Plus la durée de clarification et de remuage est grande plus la teneur en colloïdes est élevée.

Le fractionnement des colloïdes glucidiques solubles, en quatre fractions, sur Sépharose 6 B montre que celle de plus haut poids moléculaire a l'influence la plus directe sur les durées de clarification et de remuage. Les polyphénols présents dans cette fraction sont toujours plus abondants avant champagnisation.

+++

In this work, samples of champagne wines are studied in order to establish a relationship between their composition regarding colloids and the facility of « stirring-up ».

After giving sparkle to the wine, the amounts of total colloids are always greater than those of corresponding still wines. The longer the time of clarification and stirring-up, the greater the amount of colloids.

Fractionation of soluble glucidic colloids, into four fractions, on Sepharose 6 B shows that the fraction with the highest molecular weight has the most direct influence on the times of clarification and stirring-up. The polyphenols present in this fraction are always more abundant before sparkling.
Contribution à l'étude de la filtration sur plaques. V. Etude comparative des plaques filtrantes avec et sans amiante
Authors: Serrano Michel , Guimberteau Guy
Published: October 2016

On a effectué une étude comparative au laboratoire et au stade semi-industriel de plaques filtrantes avec et sans amiante de différents fabricants.

Les plaques des différents fabricants portant des numéros semblables ont rarement les mêmes débits et les mêmes efficacités. Pour un même numéro d'identification des plaques sans amiante sont le plus souvent moins serrées que les plaques avec amiante.

Les résultats comparatifs de l'efficacité des différentes plaques pour différents vins sont donnés sous forme de tableaux afin de guider le choix de l'utilisateur.

+++

A comparative study of filter plates with and without asbestos, from different manufacturers, was carried out in the laboratory and at a semi-industrial stage.

The plates from differents manufacturers with similar numbers rarely have the same output and the same efficiencies. For the same identification number the plates without asbestos are not usually as tight as those with asbestos.

The comparative results of the efficiency of the different plates for different wines are given in the form of tables in order to advise the user in his choice.
Contribution à l'étude des « goûts de lumière » dans le vin de champagne. II. Influence de la lumière sur le potentiel d'oxydoreduction. Corrélation avec la teneur en thiols du vin
Authors: Maujean Alain , Haye M. , Feuillat Michel , Thomas J. C. , Petit D.
Published: October 2016

Les auteurs déterminent les potentiels d'oxydoréduction de nombreux vins de champagne avant et après la prise de mousse. Ils précisent la relation, par éclairement de vins dégorgés et non dégorgés, entre l'apparition de « goût de lumière » et le potentiel d'oxydoréduction. Ils donnent les longueurs d'onde responsables des « goûts de lumière ».

+++

The oxydoreduction potentials are determined for a number of wines of champagne before and after the second prise de mousse fermentation. By illuminating disgorged and non disgorged wines, the authors of this article determine the relationship between the development of the « goût de lumière » and the oxydoreduction potential. Wavelengths responsible for the « goût de lumière » are given.
Contribution à l'étude des séquences géopédologiques sédimentaires du vignoble Saumurois. Essai sur une méthodologie pour la caractérisation d'un milieu viticole de cru
Authors: Morlat René , Venin Gérard , Robichet Jacqueline
Published: October 2016

Dans ce travail, on étudie une nouvelle méthode de caractérisation d'un milieu viticole de cru, le vignoble Saumurois dont les divers aspects géopédologiques influent fortement sur le comportement de la vigne (favorable sur sols calcaires, défavorable sur sols non carbonatés). Cette méthode est basée sur la recherche de la séquence écogéopédologique de référence vis-à-vis du type traditionnel de vin élaboré. Pour le Saumurois, il s'agit des termes pédologiques développés sur craie sablo-glauconieuse du Turonien moyen.

+++

In this work, a new method of characterization of a local viticultural environment is studied. The vineyards of Saumur, the various geopedological aspects which strongly influence the behaviour of the vine (favourable on chalky soils, unfavourable on non carbonated soils). This method is based on the search for the given ecogeopedological sequence in relation to the traditional type of wine made. For the Saumur area, it concerns pedological terms developed with regard to sandy-glauconitic chalk of the mid Turonian.
Special Issue on the Worst Disaster Damage Scenarios Resulting National Crisis and Reduction
Authors: Kawata Yoshiaki ,   Chair-Professor, Faculty of   Safety Science, Kansai University  Takatsuki-shi, Osaka, Japan
Published: October 2016

The 2011 Great East Japan earthquake has shown all too clearly that disaster management and mitigation measures seen from the viewpoint of protecting society are not sufficient for addressing a national crisis such as the projected Nankai Trough earthquake or Tokyo inland earthquake whose damage is expected to exceed the present estimated damage. Our study explores the weakness against disasters in how modern Japanese society uses “reverse thinking” in which investigates studying how large-scale disasters may adversely affect society and increase damage effectively. This process profiles the worst disaster scenarios that could conceivably lead to a national crisis. Classifying these worst scenarios, we suggest policies to the problems that are common to many scenarios, and we present action plans for individual problems.

First, we conduct workshops for identifying damage magnification factors and evaluating their importance under the categories of human damage, property damage, and damage to social functions, unifying the awareness of research organization.

Second, we have researchers on 1) mortality, 2) tsunami inundation, 3) liquefaction, 4) capital function, 5) evacuation, 6) required assistance, 7) lifelines, 8) high buildings, 9) information networks, 10) government systems, and 11) economic systems analyze damage magnification conditions due to hazard, vulnerability and measure aspects.

Third, we sort potential final consequences and separate them based on commonality, and propose new policies and concrete action plans for preventing the occurrence of worst-case scenarios. This research is expected to give new paradigms in disaster management science and new ways of policy making and action planning that will minimize the undesirable consequences of catastrophic earthquake and tsunami and yield new knowledge on disaster processes and damage magnification scenarios.

Most importantly, we conclude that it is necessary to have a new Japanese governmental organization, such as a Ministry of Disaster Resilience or a Disaster Resilience Management Agency, handle these national crises.
An Attempt at Quantifying Disaster Damage Based on the Use of Collective Intelligence
Authors: Kawata Yoshiaki ,   Faculty of Safety Science, Kansai University  7-1 Hakubai-cho, Takatsuki-shi, Osaka 569-1098, Japan,   ,
Published: October 2016

It is extremely important to evaluate the extent of socioeconomic damage to draw up a disaster preparation program and determine the specifics and their scales when implementing disaster prevention and reduction measures before the occurrence of disasters. Yet, it has only been possible in the past to represent the entire damage costs by part of the damage that could be quantitatively evaluated. This necessarily resulted in underestimation. In this study, the author developed a method in which the descriptions of damage scenarios are collected from over a thousand people and the damage costs evaluated by examining the frequency of used words. Specifically, a questionnaire survey was first conducted to extract the people’s views of disaster, and the frequencies of specific words used in these descriptions of disaster were used as indicators of damage. It was then assumed that the difference in the appearance of these words in newspaper articles before and after an actual disaster represents the damage impact, and this difference was used to estimate the damage costs. The results suggested the possibility of developing an evaluation method based on collective intelligence, as well as the need to improve and refine the method in the future.
Special Issue on the 8th South China Sea Tsunami Workshop (SCSTW-8)
Authors: Liu Haijiang ,   Professor, College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Zhejiang University  866 Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou, Zhejiang 310058, China
Published: October 2016

The South China Sea Tsunami Workshop (SCSTW), initiated in 2007 by internationally recognized tsunami expert Prof. Philip L.-F. Liu at Cornell University, has been conducted eight times in the Asia-Pacific region. The SCSTW’s objective is to set up an international academic platform through which strong interactions and collaborations can be established among coastal physical oceanographers, geophysicists and engineers from the South China Sea region can meet and address tsunami generation mechanisms, propagation characteristics and the corresponding coastal effects. This workshop supports approaches to tsunami disaster protection and hazard mitigation. The 8th South China Sea Tsunami Workshop (SCSTW-8), held in Changsha, China, from Nov. 9 to 13, 2015, was hosted by the Changsha University of Science and Technology.

Typhoon-induced storm surges and significant waves are predominant coastal disaster features of China’s east coast. One example is the latest Typhoon Meranti in Sept. 2016, which significantly damaged the infrastructure and resulted in the loss of dozens of lives in China’s coastal regions, especially in Fujian province. The study of typhoon-induced storm surges is thus highly important in coastal disaster prevention and mitigation.

This special issue consists of 7 papers focusing on the recent research progress in tsunami and storm surge presented in the SCSTW-8. Results are analyzed and discussed using different research approaches, including laboratory experiments, analytical analysis, data assessment and numerical simulation. As the editor of this special issue, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the authors for their invaluable contributions and to the reviewers for their insightful comments and suggestions. Special thanks go to Dr. Yu Yao of the Changsha University of Science and Technology for his generous assistance in preparing this special issue. I hope readers will find the papers in this special collection both interesting and useful.
