Estudio comparativo de plantas medicinales vinculadas a tradiciones indígenas y europeas en Uruguay
Authors: Tabakian Gregorio
Published: July 2019

Esta investigación presenta información etnobotánica sobre prácticas vinculadas al uso medicinal de plantas en poblaciones urbanas y rurales en los departamentos de Tacuarembó y Canelones, Uruguay. A través del método etnográfico, se realizaron entrevistas semi-estructuradas y de observación participante. A partir de los datos aportados por los entrevistados, se analizaron los conocimientos botánicos locales para su sistematización, comparando los diferentes usos medicinales, su variabilidad de uso en relación al respectivo sistema orgánico, las formas de consumo, las partes utilizadas y el origen de las plantas medicinales (PM) en ambos departamentos. A su vez, se vincularon estos saberes con los orígenes poblacionales (indígena en Tacuarembó; europeo en Canelones). Como resultado, se obtuvo un listado de 138 PM. En ambos departamentos, estas plantas son utilizadas para tratar afecciones similares, principalmente dolencias en los sistemas: digestivo, sensorial y respiratorio. Se puede observar una relación entre la ascendencia de los entrevistados y las formas de uso de ciertas plantas, existiendo una correspondencia entre el origen de la planta y sus prácticas con el aporte poblacional en ambos departamentos. Es de destacar, que en Tacuarembó, la práctica de masticar PM es preponderante con respecto a Canelones, hábito vinculado a tradiciones indígenas
Diabetic Skeletal Health and Potential Benefits of Exercise
Authors: O'Neill Elizabeth
Published: July 2019

Bone tissue undergoes continual remodeling through resorption and formation. The balance between these 2 activities is critical to optimizing bone mineral density (BMD) and the biomechanical integrity of the tissue, thereby reducing fractures. There is increasing evidence that diabetes negatively alters the cellular activity of bone tissue and reduces bone quality resulting in an increased risk of fractures. The mechanisms by which diabetes impacts bone are not completely understood; however, insulin, hyperglycemia, and glycation appear to influence skeletal regulation. This review will explore the influence of diabetes mellitus on bone as well as examine the potential methods by which exercise can serve as a nonpharmacological method to optimize bone health in persons with diabetes.
A pilot study investigating the effects of intraurethral stimulation and the potential to prevent urgency urinary incontinence episodes in women
Authors: Hokanson James , Grill Warren , Amundsen Cindy
Published: July 2019

Aims: To determine the feasibility of intraurethral electrical stimulation to evoke increases in urethral pressure and prevent urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes in women. Methods: Women with UUI based on the LUTS questionnaire were recruited. Stimulation amplitude was varied at different locations along the urethra, different stimulation rates, and with the bladder empty and filled to first sensation while measuring evoked urethral pressures and noting sensation. Cystometry and micturition studies, with and without intraurethral stimulation were performed to determine if stimulation prevented incontinence episodes. Results: Eleven women (median age 70, range 27-85) with UUI participated in the study. Sensation thresholds were higher for proximal urethral stimulation and for stimulation at lower frequencies (1 Hz). Negligible increases in urethral pressure were observed despite large differences in tolerated stimulation amplitudes between subjects. A correlation between sensory thresholds and baseline urethral pressure was observed. Only one subject demonstrated phasic detrusor overactivity incontinence (DOI). Two had urinary incontinence with provocative maneuvers. In all three cases, intraurethral stimulation did not prevent urine loss. Conclusions: Intraurethral electrical stimulation did not increase urethral pressures in women with UUI or prevent the observed DOI. These findings suggest future studies should explore whether direct urethral motor neuron stimulation increases urethral pressures sufficiently to prevent urgency incontinence episodes, as well as if urethral stimulation prevents urethral relaxation in the absence of increases in urethral pressure. Motor testing (e.g. urethral pressure profiles) should be performed in conjunction with current perception testing to clarify whether patients have sensory or general neurological impairment.
RADIKALISME MENGOTORI NILAI-NILAI LUHUR AGAMA DALAM KEHIDUPAN SOSIAL-RELIGIUS

Published: July 2019

Pada hakikatnya semua agama mengajarkan untuk hidup damai, rukun dan saling mengasihi. Namun yang menjadi pertanyaan mengapa adanya perselihan antar umat bergama?. Akan menjadi sangat kaku apabila ada agama tertentu membentuk organisasi masyarakat yang bertujuan untuk membela agamanya, contoh saja FPI (Forum Pembela Islam), HTI (Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia). Apa itu Radikalisme?, ada beberapa padangan para ahli mengenai Radikalisme, namun secara umum radikalisme adalah kelompok yang muncul karena dokriner kaku dan sangat rancu yang tidak bisa menerima keadaan dan kondisi di sekitarnya. Tentu hal ini sangat sensitif apabila berada dalam masyarakat plural.

Setiap manusia memiliki hak dan kewajiban sejak ia dilahirkan. Misalnya, seorang anak berhak mendapatkan kasih sayang dari orangtua, berhak mendapatkan ASI atau asupan gizi yang cukup, dan sebagainya. Tak hanya hak yang harus dipenuhi, seorang anak juga harus bisa memenuhi kewajibannya. Kewajiban untuk seorang anak misalnya adalah menuruti nasehat, perintah, atau mau menerima setiap didikan dari dari orangtuanya. Dari kecil orangtunya pasti mengajarkan nilai-nilai kebaikan kepada anaknya. Karena setiap orangtua pasti menginginkan anaknya agar bisa bersikap sopan dan santun kepada orang lain, menjadi anak yang bermoral. Dengan nasehat-nasehat yang diberikan sejak kecil kepada anaknya akan membuat hati nuarinya mudah tersentuh saat akan mealkukan sesuatu. Misalnya, ketika ia akan mengambil barang orang lain hati nuraninya pasti akan membuat dia mengingatkan nasehat orangtuanya bahwa mengambil barang yang bukan miliknya itu tidak baik.

Gotong royong merupakan suatu ciri khas yang telah tertanam di negara indonesia. Gotong royong adalah suatu bentuk tindakan masyarakat atau warga negara bersama-sama dalam mendirikan negara indonesia. Gotong royong merupakan perasan dari dasar negara pancasila yang digagas oleh ir. Sukarno seperti yang tercantum di dalam pidato pada saat sidang BPUPKI tanggal 1 juni 1945. Dalam kasus gotong royong ini saya mengangkat gerakan organisasi papua merdeka (OPM) merupakan sebagai bentuk penyelewengan terhadap gotong royong. Menurut saya dengan adanya gerakan organisasi papua merdeka (OPM) yang bertujuan untuk mendirikan suatu negaranya sendiri dan berpisah dengan Negara Kesatuan Republik indonesia. Gerakan sepratisme ini akan mengancam hilangnya nilai dari gotong royong itu sendiri. Tujuan paper ini agar pemerintah menaruh perhatian kepada daerah yang memiliki potensi yang besar yang sebenarnya akan memajukan negara indonesia.

Negara maju merupakan tujuan utama suatu negara. Salah satu cara menggapainya adalah melalui perkembangan IPTEK. Dengan bantuan IPTEK, suatu negara dapat mempermudah kehidupan masyarakatnya. Hal ini tentunya dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan rakyat dan ini yang mengindikasikan suatu negara dapat menjadi negara maju. Namun seiiring berjalannya waktu, obsesi terhadap IPTEK ini berpengaruh terhadap pola pikir masyarakatnya. Pola pikir bahwa dalam hidup kita tidak memerlukan Tuhan lagi karena merasa telah mampu untuk mengusahakan segala sesuatunya. Bahkan pikiran bahwa kita juga tidak memerlukan orang lain sempat terngiang akibat semarak perkembangan teknologi. Namun dibalik itu semua, manusia merasa tidak bahagia dan tidak hidup menurut keutamaan.

Using a Thin Slice Coding Approach to Assess Preschool Personality Dimensions
Authors: Whalen Diana , Gilbert Kirsten , Jackson Joshua James , Luby Joan , Barch Deanna
Published: July 2019

Background: A large literature assessing personality across the lifespan has used the Big Five as an organizing framework, with much evidence that variation along different dimensions predicts different aspects of psychopathology. There is some evidence from parent reports that these dimensions begin to emerge as early as preschool, but there is a need for objective observational measures of personality in young children, as parent report can be confounded by the parents own personality.Methods: The current study observationally coded personality dimensions in a clinically enriched sample of preschoolers. A clinically heterogeneous preschool sample oversampled for depression (N=299) completed 1-8 structured observational tasks with an experimenter. ‘Big 5’ personality dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience were coded using a “thin slice” technique with 7,820 unique ratings available for analysis. Results: Thin-slice ratings of personality dimensions were reliably observed in preschoolers’ ages 3-6 years. Within and across-task consistency was also evident, with consistency estimates higher than found in adult samples. Conclusions: Personality dimensions can be observationally identified in preschool-age children and offer reliable estimates that stand across different observational tasks. Refuting standard dogma that personality may not coalesce until adolescence, findings provide evidence that personality dimensions reliably emerge as early as age 3. Study findings highlight the importance of observational approaches to assessing early indicators of potentially lifelong personality dimensions relevant for understanding psychopathology risk.
Modeling Individual Differences in Brain Development
Authors: Becht Andrik , Mills Kathryn L.
Published: July 2019

Within the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience there is an increasing interest in studying individual differences in human brain development in order to predict mental health outcomes. So far, however, most longitudinal neuroimaging studies focus on group-level estimates. In this review, we highlight longitudinal neuroimaging studies that have moved beyond group-level estimates to illustrate the heterogeneity in patterns of brain development. We provide practical methodological recommendations on how longitudinal neuroimaging datasets can be used to understand heterogeneity in human brain development. Finally, we address how taking an individual-differences approach in developmental neuroimaging studies could advance our understanding of why some individuals develop mental health disorders.

Published: July 2019

Background: The Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS) is a brief five-item global measure of functional impairment that is widely used as an outcome measure in adult mental health. We have adapted the WSAS for its use in youth, the WSAS-Youth version (WSAS-Y) and WSAS-Parent version (WSAS-P). This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the scale in a large sample of youth seeking help for a range of psychiatric disorders. Method: The internal consistency, factor structure, convergent and divergent validity, test-retest reliability and sensitivity to change of the WSAS-Y/P were studied in 525 children and adolescents with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and related disorders (including Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Tourette’s Syndrome, and body-focused repetitive behaviour disorders) receiving treatment across two specialist clinics in London and Stockholm.Results: The internal consistency of the WSAS-Y/P was excellent across diagnostic groups and time points. Exploratory factor analysis extracted a single-factor of functional impairment, explaining in excess of 85% of the variance. The test-retest reliability was adequate. As expected the WSAS-Y/P correlated more strongly with other measures of functional impairment than with measures of symptom severity, indicating good convergent/divergent validity. Finally, the WSAS-Y/P was highly sensitive to change after treatment.Conclusion: The WSAS-Y/P retains the sound psychometric properties of the original WSAS and is highly sensitive to change after treatment.

Published: July 2019

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the major vegetable crops of Nepal. Potato is grown all over the globe and consumed as either vegetable or staple food depending upon the crop production scenario. It is also an integral part of human diet. Potato is a high nutrient mining crop and needs higher fertilization for economic tuber production. Despite sufficient application of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P2O5), low replenishment and widespread potassium deficiency are limiting the potato production in Nepalese condition. Growth parameters such as plant height, leaf area and chlorophyll% was positively correlated with potassium application. Potassium alleviated stresses of frost and drought and reduced incidence of diseases like late blight, black scurf and hollow heart. Potassium also decreased the reducing sugar content and improved chips color and quality. Similarly, potassium application before harvest was found to increase storage life of potato tubers. Furthermore, potassium application significantly increased the yield of potato tubers and quality parameters such as Vitamin C content and specific gravity. Source of potassium and method of potassium application also affected growth, yield and quality parameters. Soil application of potassium in splits coupled with foliar spay was found to perform better.  Optimum dose of potassium was recommended for economic tuber production

Published: July 2019

The major objective of this study is to assess the status of maize production and adoption of improved maize seeds in Tanahun district. The study also aims to determine the factors affecting the adoption of the improved seeds. 100 maize farmers from four different local bodies of Tanahun were selected by the purposive sampling method for the household survey. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, logit model and index score ranking method were used for the data analysis. The productivity of maize and annual income from maize were 767.62 kg/ha and Rs 9500 higher for the farmers using improved seeds as compared to those using the local seeds. The mean annual household income of farmers replacing the seeds yearly was Rs 18983 higher than the farmers replacing the seeds rarely. The frequency of the agriculture technician support and the frequency of seed replacement with the improved seed were found to significantly determine the adoption of the improved maize seeds. Farmers receiving the regular technician support were 15.726 times more likely to adopt the improved seeds as compared to those receiving the technician support rarely or never. The adopters had 458.10 kg/ha higher productivity than the non-adopters. Lack of irrigation facility was found to be the major problem in maize cultivation whereas the lack of timely availability of improved seed was found to be the most important constraint for the adoption of improved seeds.

Authors: Shrestha Rishab , Rajbhandari Alisha , Chhetri Gaurav , Regmi Rejina Shahi , Chaudhary Pradip
Published: July 2019

Background: Colonoscopy is an invasive procedure used both diagnostically and therapeutically. Direct visualization and real-time image of entire large colon and distal terminal ileum makes it superior. Patients are unable to undergo colonoscopy because of the limitation in the developing country. Moreover, limited studies are available in our country regarding the colonic diseases.

Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study done in Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, Nepal from January 2018 to December 2018. Approval was acquired from Institutional Review Committee. All patients undergoing colonoscopy in the hospital was included. After taking proper consent, bowel preparation, premedications, colonoscopy was performed, findings noted in pro-forma.

Results: Of the total 176 patients 119 (67.60%) were male and 57 (32.40%) were female; mean age 46.98 ± 17.13 years. Indication for performing colonoscopy was chronic diarrhea in 58(33.0%), chronic abdominal pain in 47(26.70%). Significant lesion observed in 142 patients (80.68%); colitis with unspecified etiology in 69 (39.20%), ulcerative colitis in 28 (15.90%), crohn’s disease in 13(7.38%).Colitis was more in male 46(66.67%) and involving rectum was common. Pan-ulcerative colitis was common seen in 11patients (39.28%).

Conclusion: Chronic diarrhoea and chronic abdominal pain were two common indications. Male patients were in higher prevalence opting for colonoscopy. Colitis of unspecified etiology of rectum and ileo-cecal region was most common finding. Ulcerative colitis involving whole of colon and younger age group was predominantly affected.

Authors: Basnet Meenakshi , Rajkumar Bedajit , Ghimire Bibek , Shrestha Akriti
Published: July 2019

Background: Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is easily caused by trauma and septal surgeries have evolved from forceful fractures to endoscopic surgery being the leading trend now. Endoscopic surgery has lots of advantage over the conventional headlight method in alleviating symptoms and reducing complications. Endoscopic septoplasty without the nasal packing significantly shorten the surgery time and hospital stay thus reducing the financial burden. Hence this prospective study done in Nobel Hospital and Teaching Center was an Endeavour to see the indications, technique and outcome of the new surgical procedure.

Materials and Methods: Sixty-five patients irrespective of sex in the age group of 18-60 years were enrolled in the study from December 2017 to December 2018. All symptomatic DNS confirmed by 00 and 300 rigid endoscope were enrolled. Informed consent from patients and ethical clearance was taken.

Results: The maximum patients were in the age group of 18-30 years. The commonest symptoms of the patient was nasal obstruction in 51(78.46%), followed by post-nasal drip in 20(30.76%), hyposmia in 17(26.15%), headache in 15(23.07%) and epitasis in 10(15.38%). According to Mladina classification, the commonest deviated septum was type V in 29(45%), followed by type VI in12(18%), type II and IV in 7(11%) each, type VII in 6(9%) and least being type III in 4(6%) patients. There were no patients with Mladina type I DNS in this study. The improvement in symptoms were 90% in nasal obstruction, 88% in hyposmia, 85% in post nasal drip, 90% inepistaxis and 100% in headache. The complications were haemorrhage in 1(1.5%), synechia2(3.07%), mucosal tear 5(7.69%), haematoma 1(1.5%) and persistant DNS 5(7.69%). The average hospital stay was 48 hours.

Conclusion: Endoscopic septoplasty without post-operative packing is very convenient to the patient. Endoscopic septoplasty with trans- septal suture is safe, cost effective and a better alternative.

Authors: Shah Ram Sagar , Sigdel Kaushal
Published: July 2019

Background: To determine the relationship between expulsion rate of distal ureteric calculus less than orequal to 10mm in size and C reactive protein (CRP) level, white cell count and neutrophil percentage.

Materials and Methods: A total of 186 patients with distal ureteric calculus of ≤10mm were evaluated for stone expulsion rate and its correlation with serum CRP, white cell count and neutrophil percentage. All patients received tablet Tamsulosin 0.4mg for 4 weeks or till the expulsion of stone. Patients were called weekly till 4 weeks, or early if there was history of stone expulsion. Patients were divided in two groups according to normal and elevated CRP levels, white cell count and neutrophil percent age at baseline for statistical analysis.

Results: The patients had an average age of 35.6 } 13.9 years. 52.2% were male. Ratio of right to left was1.58:1. Majority of the patients with distal ureteric calculus ≤ 10mm passed their stone (74.7 %) with medical expulsion therapy. Expulsion of stone less than 5mm was statistically significant (p0.017). Patients with normal neutrophil percentage and normal CRP level had higher stone expulsion rate than elevated neutrophil or CRP (85.2% vs. 40.9, 91.8% vs. 30.8% respectively).In patients with normal white cell count, 86.4% passed their stone while in elevated white cellcount group 39.1% passed their stone.

Conclusion: This study showed patients with distal ureteric calculus of ≤10mmwith normal CRP level and normal neutrophil count had higher expulsion rate while WBC count showed no statistically significant association.

O tratamento de acetilação é um processo químico de modificação da madeira que visa melhorar algumas das suas propriedades, agregando maior valor ao produto final. Deste modo, objetivou-se avaliar as propriedades físicas, mecânicas e biológicas da madeira acetilada de Trattinnickia burserifolia Mart. (amescla). Os tratamentos de acetilação efetuaram-se por imersão em anidrido acético durante dois períodos de tempo – 3 e 6 horas – com temperatura constante de 80ºC. O tempo de tratamento de acetilação influenciou significativamente no ganho de massa da madeira, sendo verificados os maiores valores para o tratamento de 6 horas. Por outro lado, a massa específica não foi influenciada significativamente pelo tempo de tratamento. Na absorção em água e retratibilidade volumétrica, após o tempo de 2 horas, 24 horas e saturação total, o tratamento de 6 horas foi o mais eficaz. Na propriedade mecânica de dureza Rockwell, evidenciou-se que a madeira tratada apresentou maiores valores de resistência mecânica. A acetilação da madeira de amescla proporcionou aumento da resistência biológica ao ataque de cupins xilófagos.Palavras-chave: modificação química; qualidade da madeira; madeira tropical. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF AMESCLA WOOD SUBMITTED TO ACETYLATION TREATMENT ABSTRACT: The acetylation treatment is a chemical process of wood modification that aims to improve some of its properties, adding more value for the final product. In this way, this study aimed to evaluate the physical, mechanical and biological properties of the amescla wood. The acetylation treatment was performed by immersion in acetic anhydride over two time periods – 3 and 6 hours – with a constant temperature of 80°C. The time period of acetylation influenced significantly in the WPG (weight percentual gain) of the wood, and the highest values were noticed for the 6 hours treatment. On the other hand, the density was not significantly influenced by the treatment time. In water absorption and volumetric swelling after 2 hours, 24 hours and full saturation, the 6 hours treatment was most effective. The mechanical property of Rockwell hardness demonstrated that the treated wood had higher mechanical strength values. The acetylation of amescla wood has provided increased biological resistance to xylophagous termites.Keywords: chemical modification; wood quality; tropical wood.

Program evaluation competencies for prospective school counseling practitioners
Authors: Köse Ayşen
Published: July 2019

There is a well-articulated rationale in the literature for the routine implementation of program evaluation by school counselors and thus, a desire within the profession to develop program evaluation competencies among pre-service school counselors. In this article, existing school counselor program evaluation competencies mentioned in the literature were critically overviewed. For this purpose, the school counseling publications between 2000 and 2017 were reviewed to identify on school counselor competencies in program evaluation. These articles are summarized and analyzed based on Stevahn, King, Ghere & Minnema’s competency taxonomy to better understand the current situation. The literature revealed that to date, school counseling literature has focused primarily on technical competencies in program evaluation. In addition to that, some other important program evaluation skills such as interpersonal relationships and professional/ethical issues in program evaluation have not been explored in the literature.

Để hạn chế sự lắc ngang của hệ mặt cầu trong cầu treo dân sinh dưới tác dụng của gió, cần phải bố trí các dây giằng gió và dây giằng ngang trong những cầu có chiều dài nhịp lớn hơn 80 mét hoặc có tỷ lệ giữa chiều dài nhịp và chiều rộng cầu từ 35 trở lên. Bài báo này trình bày một cách tính chuyển vị ngang của hệ mặt cầu và lực căng trong các dây giằng gió trong cầu treo một nhịp, qua việc thành lập phương trình lực căng trong dây trên cơ sở lí thuyết dây mềm và thuật toán tính lặp. Hệ được tính theo sơ đồ biến dạng, có xét tới độ cứng uốn trong mặt phẳng nằm ngang của hệ mặt cầu; tải trọng bản thân của hệ giằng gió; các mố neo dây có thể đặt tại vị trí bất kì. Thông qua ví dụ tính toán, đưa ra nhận xét về sự sai khác của kết quả tính, khi không xét và có xét đến vai trò của các tham số nêu trên.

Khảo sát hiệu quả phân tích dầm chuyển ứng lực trước đồng thời với khung bê tông cốt thép
Authors: Hưng Đặng Việt , Khánh Nguyễn Đàm , Thắng Nguyễn Trường
Published: July 2019

Trong thực hành thiết kế, do hạn chế của các phần mềm phân tích kết cấu, dầm bê tông ứng lực trước (ƯLT) căng sau thường được xem xét riêng rẽ với các cấu kiện BTCT xung quanh nó. Bài báo này giới thiệu việc phân tích tổng thể kết cấu khung bê tông cốt thép (BTCT) có dầm chuyển bê tông ƯLT bằng phần mềm ADAPT-Edge (3D). Nhờ việc sử dụng phần mềm có khả năng phân tích đồng thời dầm chuyển ƯLT với các cấu kiện dầm, cột BTCT khác trong khung, ảnh hưởng của các phương án bố trí và của số lượng cáp ƯLT tới sự phân bố nội lực, cường độ, độ cứng và biến dạng của dầm chuyển cũng như của cả hệ khung có thể được làm rõ. Trong bài báo này, ba phương án thiết kế dầm ƯLT theo tiêu chuẩn Eurocodes được đề xuất cho một ví dụ thực tế gồm một khung không gian BTCT cao bảy tầng có dầm chuyển vượt nhịp 15m tại tầng hai nhằm khảo sát hiệu quả của phương pháp phân tích tổng thể này. Kết quả cho thấy phương án tập trung cáp ƯLT cho một dầm chuyển là hợp lý hơn về sử dụng vật liệu ƯLT trong khi vẫn đảm bảo các yêu cầu thiết kế về chịu lực và sử dụng. Tuy nhiên, do yêu cầu của các biện pháp cấu tạo đầu neo cho phù hợp với thực tế, phương án phân bổ cáp ƯLT cho cả dầm chuyển và các dầm khung tại các tầng phía trên nó cũng có thể được áp dụng hiệu quả.
