Published: March 2020

Overweight and obesity accompanies up to 70% of pregnancies and is a strong risk factor for offspring metabolic disease. Maternal obesity-associated inflammation and lipid profile are hypothesized as important contributors to excess offspring liver and skeletal muscle lipid deposition and oxidative stress. Here, we tested whether dams expressing the fat-1 transgene, which endogenously converts omega-6 (n-6) to omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid, could protect wild-type (WT) offspring against high-fat diet induced weight gain, oxidative stress, and disrupted mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. Despite similar body mass at weaning, offspring from fat-1 high-fat-fed dams gained less weight compared with offspring from WT high-fat-fed dams. In particular, WT males from fat-1 high-fat-fed dams were protected from post-weaning high-fat diet induced weight gain, reduced fatty acid oxidation, or excess oxidative stress compared with offspring of WT high-fat-fed dams. Adult offspring of WT high-fat-fed dams exhibited greater skeletal muscle triglycerides and reduced skeletal muscle antioxidant defense and redox balance compared with offspring of WT dams on control diet. Fat-1 offspring were protected from the reduced fatty acid oxidation and excess oxidative stress observed in offspring of WT high-fat-fed dams. These results indicate that a maternal fat-1 transgene has protective effects against offspring liver and skeletal muscle lipotoxicity resulting from a maternal high-fat diet, particularly in males. Altering maternal fatty acid composition, without changing maternal dietary composition or weight gain with high-fat feeding, may highlight important strategies for n-3-based prevention of developmental programming of obesity and its complications.

As anemia remains a major public health problem in Ghana, we examined the effect of dietary intakes, and antenatal care (ANC) practices on red cell indices and anemia prevalence during the pregnancy continuum for 415 women. Dietary history was taken using the Food and Agriculture Organization minimum dietary diversity indicator for women (MDD-W). Intake of ≥5 food groups was a proxy for micronutrient adequacy. Odds for anemia and meeting the MDD-W were estimated using ordinal and binary logistic regressions respectively. Intakes of 41.4% were micronutrient inadequate. At any time point in pregnancy, 54.4% were anemic (mild = 31.1%; moderate = 23.1%; severe = 0.2%) with 10%-point variation across the first (57.3%), second (56.4%) and third (53.3%) trimesters and pre-delivery (47.7%); 27.8% were anemic throughout pregnancy while 17.1% were never anemic. Morphologically, microcytic (79.4%) and hypochromic (29.3%) anemia were most prevalent, indicating nutritional deficiencies. Planning the pregnancy was a significant determinant for meeting the MDD-W. Overall, adolescence, poor diet, suboptimum ANC and underweight were associated with moderate and severe anemia. In specific time-points, dietary counselling, malaria, iron-folic acid supplementation, sickle cell disease and preeclampsia were observed. Decline of anemia during pregnancy suggests the positive impact of ANC services and supports strengthening education on dietary diversification during ANC.

Over the past decades, survival rates for patients with resectable esophageal cancer have improved significantly. Consequently, the sequelae of having a gastric conduit, such as development of micronutrient deficiencies, become increasingly apparent. This study investigated postoperative micronutrient trends in the follow-up of patients following a minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for cancer. Patients were included if they had at least one postoperative evaluation of iron, ferritin, vitamins B1, B6, B12, D, folate or methylmalonic acid. Data were available in 83 of 95 patients. Of these, 78.3% (65/83) had at least one and 37.3% (31/83) had more than one micronutrient deficiency at a median of 6.1 months (interquartile range (IQR) 5.4–7.5) of follow-up. Similar to the results found in previous studies, most common deficiencies identified were: iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. In addition, folate deficiency and anemia were detected in a substantial amount of patients in this cohort. At 24.8 months (IQR 19.4–33.1) of follow-up, micronutrient deficiencies were still common, however, most deficiencies normalized following supplementation on indication. In conclusion, patients undergoing a MIE are at risk of developing micronutrient deficiencies as early as 6 up to 24 months after surgery and should therefore be routinely checked and supplemented when needed.

Published: March 2020

The article is dedicated to investigation of counter-security as a novelty of the reform of Ukrainian civil procedure legislation. The analysis of rules of the current procedural legislation on counter-security as a novelty of the civil process in Ukraine was made in the article. The determination of features of the institute of counter-security in the mechanism of civil proceedings was given. The role of counter-security in the civil process was identified. The conclusion was drawn that through the institute of counter-security, the principle of equality of parties is ensured, which is manifested in the equal assignment of the defendant to such procedural rights which are effectively identical to the rights of the plaintiff. Therefore, the defendant was granted effective protection against the claim by virtue of the new institute. It is stated that the counter-security should be seen as a way of preventing the plaintiff's abuse of procedural rights and offsetting the potential consequences. The introduction of counter-security is a clear step forward to European standards of quality and efficiency in the administration of justice, however, by examining civil procedural law and jurisprudence, the conclusion was made that the institution is not regulated at this stage of its establishment and application.

Published: March 2020

Background: Study of disorders of arterial blood gases (ABG) and electrolytes in critical patients in emergency department has not been evaluated before in Vietnam. Detecting serious disorders, quickly and accurately diagnosing to make an effective treatment decision is an essential requirement.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate disorders of arterial blood gases and electrolytes of critical patients and to find out the percentages of serious disorders in Emergency department, ChoRay hospital.
Study design: A retrospective describes a series of cases. 203 patients classified with a “priority triage group 1”, being treated in Intensive care unit of Emergency department and had indications of doing ABG and electrolytes by POCT iSTAT® CG8 from 06/01/2016 to 08/31/2016 were surveyed in this study.
Results: 203 cases were surveyed. Mean age was 50.2. 25-49 age group accounted for 74.8%, men/women was 1.26. Trauma/nontrauma was 1.13 with the rate of head trauma and respiratory diseases were high. Most of them were in shock condition. Most of trauma patients had normal ABGs when non-trauma patients had mixed acid-base disorders. Shock condition went with a high percentage of metabolic acidosis when non-shock condition went with a normal ABGs. Trauma patients had glycemia higher, kalemia lower than non-trauma patients.. Shock condition went with higher glycemia and lower natremia than non-shock condition. Upto 14.7% had PaO2 <40mmHg, 10.3% had pH<6,9 and 22.2% had pCO2>45mmHg. And 10.8% had glycemia <70mg/dl when 31% had glycemia >200mg/dl. Upto 11,8% Natremia <120mmol/l when 13.3% Natremia >160mmol/l. And 12.8% Kalemia <2.8mmol/l when 15.2% Kalemia >5.5mmol/l. Using POCT gave faster result-time: 2.67 minutes when medical costs are acceptable.
Conclusion: Research results showed the percentages of serious disorders of ABG and electrolytes of critical patients in Emergency department, Cho Ray hospital and the essentials of using POCT to have faster results to get better treatments.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TIMING OF RECANALIZATION AND CLINICAL OUTCOME OF ISCHEMIC STROKE DUE TO ACUTE MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY OCCLUSION AFTER ULTRASOUND-ENHANCED THROMBOLYSIS
Authors: Tran Quang Thang , Nguyen Dat Anh , Nguyen Van Chi , Mai Duy Ton , Le Van Thinh
Published: March 2020

Purpose: The relationship between arterial recanalization after use of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) and outcome is still uncertain. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between the timing and impact of recanalization on functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients due to acute middle cerebral artery occlusion.
Subjects and methods: Nonrandomized 40 stroke patients with proximal middle arterial occlusion on a prebolus TCD receiving intravenously 0.6 mg/kg rtPA within 4.5 hours after stroke onset were monitored with portable diagnostic TCD equipment and a standard headframe. Complete recanalization was defined as thrombolysis in brain ischemia (TIBI) flow grades 4-5.
Results: 40 patients (mean age 67±14 years, NIH Stroke Scale [NIHSS] 16.15±8.6 points) were treated at 180±80 minutes from symptom onset. TCD was monitored continously for 120 minutes. Complete recanalization on TCD within 2 hours after bolus was found in 13 patients (32.5%). In this group, NIHSS decreased quickly at 2 hours and 24 hours. Modified Rankins 0-1point was seen in 92.3% of patients with complete recanalization compared to 37.0% of patients with uncomplete recanalization at 90 days. Non-symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was seen in 1 patient in the group of complete recanalization.
Conclusions: Complete recanalization of middle cerebral arteries within 2 hours after IV rtPA treatment plays a role in predicting the good functional and clinical outcomes after ultrasound-enhanced thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke patients due to acute middle cerebral artery occlusion.

Authors: Do Minh Duong , Nguyen Van Chi , Do Ngoc Son
Published: March 2020

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious pathological condition, commonly seen in emergency department and ICU with high mortality rate (from 40 to 60%). Prone ventilation has been shown to improve blood oxygenation, to reduce ventilation induced lung injury (VILI) and mortality. However, how this procedure could impact on hemodynamics is the topic for this study.
Objectives: To identify the impacts of prone ventilation on hemodynamic parameters and extra vascular lung water indexes on patients with ARDS.
Methods: This was a prospective observatory study carrying out on 9 ventilated patients with ARDS. The ratio of PaO2/FiO2 was less than 100 or 150 and on decrease on PEEP ≥ 5, FiO2 ≥ 60%. All of patients were implemented a protective ventilation strategy following ARDS Network guideline in both supine and prone position.
Results: The changes of hemodynamic parameters (HR, BP, CO, CI and GEDVI) and EVLWI were not statistically significant in comparison with those in supine position.
Conclusions: Prone ventilation did not affect much on the hemodynamic and EVLWI parameters.

Is the Virus of International Macroeconomic Interventionism Infectious? An ABCT Analysis
Authors: Block Walter , Engelhardt Lucas , Herbener Jeffrey
Published: March 2020

According to Austrian business cycle theory (ABCT), there is no macroeconomic market failure. Under laissez faire capitalism, with extremely limited or no government, there will be no credit-induced business cycles. However, suppose one part of the world engages in credit expansion, which, according to ABCT creates the business cycle, while another does not. Will the former infect the latter? Or will the latter be impervious to the governmental depredations of the former? We take the position that although the free market society will not remain impervious to the government failure of the interventionists, it will be sheltered from the full impact of the boom-bust cycle. Do the residual malinvestments constitute a market failure? After all, a free market, in this case, is indeed "failing" to bring about the greatest satisfaction of consumer preferences. We deny this claim.
More Than Quibbles: Problems with the Theory and History of Fractional Reserve Free Banking
Authors: Murphy Robert
Published: March 2020

The extensive debate over fractional reserve free banking (FRFB) has spanned decades and includes volleys from many contributors. Consequently, relative newcomers to the controversy often wish to extend the conversation on several fronts. In this spirit, Bagus and Howden (2010) is a 27-page paper detailing numerous objections to FRFB, which they modestly entitled, “Fractional Reserve Free Banking: Some Quibbles.” The present paper continues in this tradition, elaborating on some of the key critiques of FRFB raised by others earlier in the debate. In particular, I critically explore two key claims of the FRFB camp: that holders of banknotes implicitly lend funds to the issuing bank, and that the historical periods of relatively free banking illustrate the stability of the system.
The Menger-Mises Theory of the Origin of Money--Conjecture or Economic Law?
Authors: Hansen Kristoffer
Published: March 2020

In recent years some economists have begun to doubt the scientific standing of the standard Austrian theory of the origin of money. They seem to think that it is only one possible solution to the problem of accounting for money’s value. Of these economists, Gary North (North 2012b) has presented the most cogent counter-interpretation to how we should understand the theory of the origin of money as elaborated by Carl Menger and Ludwig von Mises. Unlike the rest of economic theory, the origin of money and Mises’s regression theorem do not partake of the character of a scientific law deduced from the basic principles of the science, but is rather, and is presented as such in the writings of Menger and Mises, what North terms “conjectural history.” In this essay we will respond to North’s challenge and to the economists who agree with him.
Beginning the Welfare State: Civil War Veterans' Pensions
Authors: Rothbard Murray
Published: March 2020

The following essay was written while Rothbard was working on “Origins of the Welfare State in America,” which was originally published posthumously in the Journal of Libertarian Studies in 1996 (Rothbard 1996). “Origins” was included as Chapter 11 in The Progressive Era (Rothbard 2017). The draft pages of “Beginning the Welfare State” label it as Section 4. Rothbard most likely took it out and rewrote “Origins” so it would focus more on the Progressive Era intellectuals and reformers in the early-twentieth century. It was referenced but not included in The Progressive Era due to space constraints (Rothbard 2017, 153). It is published here for the first time. In this short but highly illuminating essay, Rothbard describes one of the first significant welfare programs in America: pensions to Union veterans. He documents the pro-pension legislation pushed by the Republicans, who supported it to cement a significant interest group to their party and also spend the federal budget surplus caused by their high tariff protectionist policies. Fighting a rearguard battle was President Grover Cleveland (1885-1889, 1893-1897) and his wavering Democratic congressional allies. The 1890 Dependent and Disability Pension Act was an important step in paving the way for the welfare reforms of the Progressive Era and New Deal. For a recent analysis of Civil War pensions that is similar to Rothbard’s, see Cogan (2017, 31–53).

Review of Alesina, Favero, and Giavazzi, Austerity: When It Works and When It Doesn't
Authors: Thornton Mark
Published: March 2020

A new book by Harvard economist Alberto Alesina, and Carlo Favero and Francesco Giavazzi, both of the University Bocconi, Austerity: When It Works and When It Doesn't empirically assesses the fiscal measures implemented by 16 developed economies since the 1970s, finding that austerity plans based on tax increases result in worse economic performance than austerity plans based on cutting government spending. Their evidence essentially supports the Austrian approach to recovery after a boom-bust cycle.

Arabic language education has become one of the subjects in all programs of faculties in Islamic Universities (PTKIS), especially in 154 Universities under the supervision of the fourth Coordinator for Islamic Universities, (Kopertais IV). However, the phenomenon of communicative foreign language learning (PBAK) according to the KTSPT 2009 was not directed at achieving the five competencies of the Kepmendiknas Regulation No. 045 (2002), for the clustering of certain subjects in the independent subjects. This leads to reduce graduate degree competence. This paper was presented in particular in the future approaches to curriculum building through the competency based the Indonesian Qualifications Framework (KBK KKNI) in accordance with the Presidential decree No. 8 (2012) by setting the communicative scope in teaching Arabic as an approach to achieve all five competencies together. The first possible plan for this purpose is to make use of the Language Center (LC) in two plans. First reforming the status of the language center, and secondly delegating subjects from college faculties to language center.

Many young women experience accelerated menarche age compared to previous years. The high consumption of fast food and exposure to pornographic media is one of the factors that is suspected to influence the age of menarche acceleration. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of junk food consumption, media exposure to the age of menarche in young women. The research design uses cross-sectional. The population is all VII grade students of SMPN 26 Malang, with a sample of 90 students obtained by using simple random sample technique. The instrument uses a questionnaire and a checklist sheet. Data analysis using Fisher's exact test. The results of the study revealed that the majority of respondents consumed fast food in the low category of 82 people (91.1%). Most of the children experienced low exposure to pornographic media, namely 80 people (88.9%). Statistical tests show that there is no relationship between junk food consumption (p value = 0.416), and exposure to pornographic media (p value = 0.270) with the age of menarche in SMPN 26 Malang students. It is recommended for further researchers to explore the determinants of the acceleration of the age of menarche in adolescent girls, as well as the delay in the age of menarche, further research needs to be done

Abstraksi

Eksploitasi pekerja pada industri manufaktur terbesar di China hingga kini masih terus berlangsung. Berdalih tingginya permintaan pasar membuat pabrik-pabrik menaikkan target produksi barang hingga mengabaikan kepentingan para pekerja. Pada saat yang sama para pekerja mengalami depresi yang berat karena berbagai kebutuhannya tereliminir oleh rakusnya korporasi yang berpedoman pada faham kapitalisme. Relasi yang terbentuk antara pemilik sarana dan alat-alat produksi dengan pemilik tenaga hanya berdasarkan pada faktor determinasi ekonomi. Kelompok dominan akan muncul dan ia cenderung memaksakan aturan, nilai dan norma yang ia percayai kepada kelompok bawah/yang tidak berdaya (subordinate) demi mempertahankan struktur sosial yang mereka anggap menguntungkan kelompoknya.Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui tentang bagaimana praktik eksploitasi pekerja dengan sudut pandang teori Karl Marx. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap praktik yang berlangsung dalam eksploitasi pekerja pada perusahaan Foxconn. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yang dibalut dengan paradigma kritis. Dan hingga kini, eksploitasi terhadap pekerjamasih berlangsung. Melalui faham kapitalisme yang dianut, pihak korporasi terus melakukan praktik-praktik eksploitasi, subordinasi hingga alienasi pekerja. Hal lain yang tidak kalah penting, praktik itu melibatkan negara.

Abstract

 

Exploitation of workers in the largest manufacturing industry in China is still ongoing. Arguing that high market demand makes factories raise the target of production of goods to ignore the interests of the workers. At the same time workers experience a severe depression because their various needs were eliminated by the greed of corporations that are guided by the ideology of capitalism. The relationship formed between the owner of the means and means of production with the owner of power is only based on economic determinants. The dominant group will emerge and it tends to impose rules, values ??and norms that it believes on the subordinate / powerless (subordinate) group in order to maintain the social structure that they deem beneficial to the group. This study wanted to find out about how the practice of worker exploitation from the standpoint of Karl Marx's theory. This study aims to uncover the practices that take place in the exploitation of workers at Foxconn companies. The approach used in this study is qualitative wrapped with a critical paradigm. And until now, exploitation of workers is still ongoing. Through the ideology of capitalism adopted, the corporation continues to practice exploitation, subordination to alienation of workers. Another thing that is no less important, the practice involves the state.

ANALYSIS OF DAMAGE PREDICTION IN LAMINATED COMPOSITES SUBJECTED TO IMPACT LOADING
Authors: Saffiudeen Mohamed Fayas , Syed Abdullah , Mohammed Fasil T
Published: March 2020

Fibre-reinforced laminated composites are susceptible to transverse impact, at low velocities causing significant damage, in terms of matrix cracks and delamination’s, which are very difficult to detect with the naked eye and can cause significant reductions in the strength and stiffness of the materials. This study aimed at analysing the transient dynamic response of laminated composites due to impact. The effect of fiber volume fraction, laminate thickness, plate boundary conditions, velocity and mass of impactor on the behaviour of composites during low velocity impact is analysed using ABAQUS software.
For the analysis, a laminated composite panel made of graphite/epoxy fiber-reinforced laminates is subjected to transverse impact by projectile with a spherical nose. Hashin failure model was adopted for the analysis.
The optimal fiber capacity fraction for extreme impact energy for T300/976 type of composite was determined. The velocity required to cause damage initiation was found out for different fiber volume fractions. The variation of contact force and central deflection with velocity and mass of impactor was determined and appropriate empirical models were developed to predict the maximum contact force and central deflection for particular values of impactor velocity and mass. The variation of resistance to failure with laminate thickness was found out and suitable boundary conditions of the plate were identified for different types of impact loading

INDEX TERMS—Fiber Reinforced laminated Composite, impactor mass, contact force central deflection
Case report of a submandibular abscess lethally tracking down through the mediastinum presenting as cardiac empyema
Authors: Omar Y  , Ali R  , Anas M  , Layal R
Published: March 2020

A 46-year-old male presented to our emergency with sudden severe shortness of breath and was found to have massive pericardial effusion causing cardiac tamponade and atrial fibrillation. He had to undergo immediate pericardiocentesis to relieve his symptoms and it drained frank pus indicating pericardial empyema as the underline cause of tamponade. On physical examination, patient was found to have a left submandibular tender swelling. He had increased inflammatory markers and on further imaging the CT showed massive diffuse mediastinal abscess. The patient had to undergo urgent surgery by multiple specialist surgeons in which large amount of pus was drained from the submandibular and mediastinum resulting in improvement of his condition and speeded his recovery.

Key Messages

• Thorough history and examination are of utmost importance.

• Immediate treatment of pericardial tamponade is lifesaving.

• High index of suspicion of descending mediastinitis should arise whenever purulent pericardial drainage is encountered.

• Early diagnosis of mediastinal abscess by doing early radiographic investigations reduce mortality.

• Head and neck abscesses must be treated properly to prevent life-threatening conditions.
Personal Argumention in the Scholarly Publication

Published: March 2020

Currently, the journals in the field of social sciences seem to emphasize the preference that authors submit for evaluation and publication manuscripts in the form of research articles with empirical data, following the model of exact sciences and, preferably, with the possibility of research replication. The scholarly publication based on reasoned logical argumentation seems to be increasingly relegated to the sidelines. This letter argues that questioning preconceived ideas and contributing to thinking is critical and that its publication, after the quality and relevance of personal argumentation is assessed, should take place even without respecting the replication of the research model.
