Introdução: o farmacêutico na dispensação de medicamentos fornece orientações ao paciente a fim de otimizar o uso da farmacoterapia e promover o uso racional de medicamentos. Entretanto, a literatura tem demonstrado carências no processo de formação acadêmica para a realização desse serviço. Nesse sentido, técnicas ativas de ensino, como a simulação, tem demonstrado serem efetivas para o treinamento e aprimoramento da qualidade da orientação na dispensação. Objetivo: avaliar o conteúdo da orientação na dispensação simulada de medicamentos realizada por estudantes de Farmácia. Metodologia: foi realizado um estudo transversal descritivo nos meses de novembro de 2016 e abril de 2017. A amostra foi composta por estudantes da disciplina de Assistência Farmacêutica do curso de Farmácia da Universidade Federal de Sergipe, selecionados por conveniência. Para avaliação dos estudantes foi estruturado um cenário de farmácia comunitária no qual um paciente simulado, previamente treinado, interpretou um caso de dispensação de medicamento prescrito. As simulações foram gravadas em mídia audiovisual e a dispensação simulada foi analisada por meio do instrumento “Assesment of the Counseling Process”, adaptado transculturalmente para o Brasil. Resultados: foram realizadas vinte e sete simulações de dispensação utilizando a técnica do paciente simulado. A maioria dos estudantes perguntou para quem era o medicamento (96,2%) e verificou o uso de outros medicamentos pelo paciente (51,85%). Somente 22,22% perguntou sobre informações específicas do paciente. As principais orientações fornecidas pelos estudantes foram relacionadas a: indicação do medicamento (96,29%), posologia (96,29%), forma farmacêutica (100%), horário de administração do medicamento (88,88%), conduta em caso de esquecimento de dose (65,38). Somente 48,14% dos estudantes orientaram o paciente sobre questões relacionadas ao armazenamento do medicamento. Mais da metade dos estudantes perguntaram ao paciente sobre a necessidade de informações adicionais (55,55%) e a grande maioria (88,88%) verificou o entendimento do paciente sobre as orientações dadas. Em 59,25% das simulações, os estudantes dedicaram tempo suficiente ao paciente conforme o preconizado pela literatura (cinco minutos). Conclusão: os estudantes apresentaram boas práticas de orientação ao paciente na dispensação de medicamentos na maioria dos aspectos avaliados neste estudo. Nesse contexto, a técnica do paciente simulado pode ser utilizada para treinamento e avaliação de estudante no sentindo de melhorar a qualidade das práticas de orientação durante a dispensação.

Strategic Disclosure and CEO Media Visibility
Authors: Blankespoor Elizabeth , deHaan Ed
Published: February 2020

Prior research indicates that CEO media visibility significantly impacts firm value and CEO career outcomes. We investigate whether and how CEOs strategically use disclosures to influence media coverage of themselves. We develop a measure of “CEO promotion” based on the CEO's presence in firm press releases and the linguistic style of the CEO's quotes. Determinants tests are consistent with our measure of CEO promotion being an intentional act based on cost/benefit considerations. Using our new measure, we find evidence consistent with CEO promotion being effective in reducing journalists' production costs, thereby increasing CEO media coverage and spinning media articles in the firm's favor. These results provide new insights as to specific ways in which CEOs influence media coverage. We also provide an empirical measure of abnormal CEO promotion that can be used in future research.

Published: February 2020

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is caused by loss of pancreatic β-cell mass and failure of the remaining β-cells to deliver sufficient insulin to meet demand. β-Cell glucolipotoxicity (GLT), which refers to combined, deleterious effects of elevated glucose and fatty acid levels on β-cell function and survival, contributes to T2D-associated β-cell failure. Drugs and mechanisms that protect β-cells from GLT stress could potentially improve metabolic control in patients with T2D. In a phenotypic screen seeking low-molecular-weight compounds that protected β-cells from GLT, we identified compound A that selectively blocked GLT-induced apoptosis in rat insulinoma cells. Compound A and its optimized analogs also improved viability and function in primary rat and human islets under GLT. We discovered that compound A analogs decreased GLT-induced cytosolic calcium influx in islet cells, and all measured β-cell–protective effects correlated with this activity. Further studies revealed that the active compound from this series largely reversed GLT-induced global transcriptional changes. Our results suggest that taming cytosolic calcium overload in pancreatic islets can improve β-cell survival and function under GLT stress and thus could be an effective strategy for T2D treatment.

Published: February 2020

Aim. To compare the calculated data of A, B2, D vitamins and beta-carotene consumption with diets and biomarkers of vitamin status of 178 residents of Tazovsky and Gyda settlements of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area.
Materials and Methods. The actual nutrition was studied by frequency (according to the frequency of food consumption for the previous month) and 24-hour (daily) reproduction methods. Vitamin status was assessed by serum vitamin concentration.
Results. A statistically significant relationship between serum beta-carotene level and its consumption with rations was established. There was no significant relationship between the level of fish consumption and vitamin D sufficiency.
Conclusion. Vitamin intake data provide a framework to reveal deviations from optimal nutrition and to identify risk groups with vitamin deficiency, but they do not always make it possible to carry out an objective assessment of individual vitamin sufficiency. Thus, in individuals with a clear lack of vitamin A in the diet on the previous day before taking blood, blood retinol level was in the normal range.
Comparative analysis of parameters of cardiointervalometry, ergoreflex and data of 6 minute walk test in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Authors: Abrosimov Vladimir N. , Kosyakov Aleksey V. , Dmitrieva Maria N.
Published: February 2020

Aim. To study the relationship between parameters of cardiointervalometry and ergoreflex, and 6-minute walk test data in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Materials and Methods. The study included 103 men, of them 63 patients with COPD, 40 patients of the control group. Functional assessment of external respiration and a 6-minute walk test were performed using Spiropalm 6MWT equipment (Cosmed, Italy). The autonomic status and the influence of the ergoreflex on it were assessed by the method of cardiointervalometry before, during and after the test with external peripheral vascular occlusion using Varicard hardware and software complex (LLC Ramena, Ryazan, Russia).
Results. When performing a 6-minute walk test, significant differences were obtained between the groups of patients with COPD and of the control group in the majority of the studied parameters (p0.01). In 18 of 63 patients with COPD, the level of SpO2 in 6-minute walk test decreased by 4% (p0.01). The obtained result is of considerable importance for assessment of exercise tolerance in patients with COPD. In tests with external peripheral vascular occlusion in patients with COPD and of the control group, the index of activity of regulatory systems (IARS) increased in both groups. However, after completion of the test, the index in patients with COPD decreased below the initial values (p0.05), and in patients of the control group the changes were even more pronounced (p0.01). Patients with COPD were divided into groups depending on the distance covered in 6-minute walk test. Analysis of the data revealed a moderate positive correlation between the covered distance and the forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (FEV1, R=0.45, p0.01).The maximum level of the total effect of the autonomic regulation of blood circulation was recorded in patients who covered the minimum distance (227.7748.13 m) in 6-minute walk test. Besides, a moderate negative correlation between IARS and the results of 6-minute test was recorded (R=-0.34, p0.01).
Conclusions. 1. For assessment of the functional status of patients in 6-minute walk test it is important to take measurement of saturation throughout the whole test. 2. The change in IARS values in the test with external peripheral vascular occlusion can be regarded as a reduction of the influence of reflex from the lower limb ergoreceptors on the functional condition of patients. 3. Patients with COPD showed a marked autonomic imbalance. IARS showed a moderate negative correlation with the distance covered in 6-minute walk test. 4. Maximum value of IARS was obtained in patients with the minimal distance covered in 6-minute walk test.

Bimbingan Belajar sangat berperan penting bagi perkembangan belajar anak, karena tidak hanya apa yang diperoleh di sekolah saja, pembelajaran diluar sekolah mempunyai dampak yang cukup besar dan berpengaruh bagi motivasi belajar siswa. Pendidikan Non Formal diharapkan dapat menambah minat atau ketertarikan siswa dalam belajar. Didalam pendidikan non formal siswa di ajak belajar dengan metode yang berbeda dengan pendidikan formal pada umumnya, pendidikan non formal lebih santai dan atraktif dengan mengenalkan suatu hal baru atau apa yang mereka tidak paham dengan hal menarik, berbeda dengan pendidikan formal, belajar lebih menyenangkan dengan bermain game sebagai selingan dan juga sisipan dalam belajar. Siswa tidak hanya dituntut bisa menghafal tetapi juga harus paham dan tertarik, karena dengan tertarik siswa dengan sendirinya mencari tahu apa yang mereka tidak tahu. Untuk itu diterapkannya pembelajaran dengan metode belajar dan bermain sehingga dapat memotivasi siswa dalam pembelajaran agar menjadi individu yang lebih kreatif dan juga aktif dalam berfikir dan juga memecahkan masalah.

Authors: Al-Jumaili Ali Azeez , Ameen Inaam Ahmed , Alzubaidy Doaa Asaad
Published: February 2020

Objectives: The study objectives were to evaluate customer satisfaction with community pharmacy services and measure the relationships between customer satisfaction and pharmacy/pharmacist characteristics and customer quality of life.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of customers at 20 community pharmacies in 10 different geographical areas in Baghdad city between May and September 2018. We used the satisfaction items which were developed by Paterson and colleagues in 2013. The survey also assessed customer quality of life (QoL) with 12 QoL items.

Results: The study recruited 400 pharmacy customers. Overall, customers reported good satisfaction with community pharmacy services. The most three satisfying aspects were the professional appearance of the pharmacy, the professionalism of pharmacy staff and explanations of possible adverse medication effects. Three customer characteristics were associated with high satisfaction rates including male gender, buying medications without a prescription, and seeking services for themselves. Three pharmacy characteristics increased the customer satisfaction rate including the availability of female pharmacists, having more than one pharmacist, and whether the pharmacy is open full time. For quality of life, patients who had a limitation in their activities and those who accomplished less than they would like were less satisfied with pharmacy services.  

Conclusions:  To improve pharmacy services, pharmacists need to enhance their professional appearance, allocate more time for patient counselling, help patients to manage their medications and extend their working hours to meet customer needs.

Perceived Barriers and Levels of Satisfaction with Student Services for Adult Learners
Authors: Cabrere-Buggs Nicole
Published: February 2020

Adult students face a multitude of issues when attending college and seeking assistance from student support services to succeed. Because of other responsibilities outside their education, such as full-time jobs and family or household responsibilities, adult students have minimal access to these support services. This study was intended to investigate differences in level of satisfaction with student support services used by adults seeking a baccalaureate degree, and to examine the barriers faced by these students. The study examined situational, institutional, and dispositional barriers at one public research university, which may shed light on areas in student services which need to be addressed in higher education.
First-Year College Students' Homesickness and Separation Anxiety
Authors: Claborn Robyn D. , Kane Steven T.
Published: February 2020

Severe homesickness in college students is considered by many mental health clinicians to be a manifestation of adult separation axiety disorder (ASAD). Recent research suggests that while approximately 7% of adults have ASAD, as many as 21% of college students may suffer from the disorder. In this article, we examine the psychological characteristics of ASAD and review the literature relating ASAD to student retention. Surprisingly, relatively little research has examined ASAD as a risk factor for college student retention, especially given its frequent occurrence. In this literature review, we also discuss current university practices and orientation programs that would help retain students with ASAD, along with recommendations for future research.
Faculty Perceptions of Combat-Related PTSD and Teaching Post 9/11 Student-Veterans
Authors: Bagby Janet H. , Barnard-Brak Lucy , Sulak Tracey N. , Walter Mary
Published: February 2020

The purpose of this study was to examine faculty members’ perceptions of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and student veterans. We surveyed 596 faculty members from 28 institutions of higher education regarding their views on PTSD as a disorder, whether PTSD can be effectively treated, and their preparedness to teach student veterans. Results indicate that faculty members do perceive PTSD to be a real disorder confronting student veterans; however, statistically significant results indicate that many faculty members do not consider PTSD to be treatable, nor do they feel prepared to work with these returning students. These results suggest a need for faculty education about PTSD as it relates to this population of students who are veterans of post 9/11 war conflicts.
Investigating the Academic and Social Benefits of Extended New Student Orientations for First-Year Students
Authors: Soria Krista M. , Clark Beth Lingren , Koch Laura Coffin
Published: February 2020

In this study, researchers examined the benefits of college students’ participation in an extended new student orientation at a large, public research university. Framed within social identity theory, this study extends a hypothesis that extended new student orientations promote the institutional social identity of first-year students and facilitate their sense of belonging through supportive community development; consequently, the findings suggested that first-year students who participated in an extended new student orientation had a greater sense of belonging, higher academic performance (as measured through students’ fall and spring cumulative grade point averages), and higher retention to their second year. Recommendations for new student orientation practitioners, directors, and administrators are discussed.
Lasst das Internet in Ruhe! Die medienpolitische Verantwortung um die Internetfreiheit in Österreich
Authors: Holzinger Roland , Trappel Josef
Published: February 2020

Die Dynamiken der Onlinekommunikation stellen das traditionelle Gleichgewicht unterschiedlicher Grundrechtsansprüche entwickelter Demokratien vor neue Herausforderungen. Der Beitrag prüft in dieser Hinsicht den Zustand der Internetfreiheit in Österreich auf Basis der Europarats-Empfehlung CM/Rec(2016)5 aus Expert*innensicht entlang der Bereiche Zugangsfreiheit und tatsächlicher Zugänglichkeit, Meinungsfreiheit und Datenschutz. Die österreichische Rechtsordnung erweist sich als robust, mit nur geringen internetspezifischen gesetzlichen Anpassungen. In der Rechtsverfolgung zeigen sich erste Defizite. Eine zentrale Rolle in der Abwägung von Rechtsansprüchen nehmen die österreichischen Gerichte ein, die in der wichtigen Unterscheidung zwischen rechtswidrigen und unerwünschten, aber noch tolerierbaren Onlineinhalten gute Arbeit leisten. Herausforderungen zeigen sich im Bereich der Selbstregulierung von Internetdiensteanbieter*innen und dem Datenschutz. Die tatsächliche Zugänglichkeit zum Internet ist in Österreich weitgehend gewährleistet, obwohl weiterhin sozio-ökonomische Differenzen bestehen.

Abstract_ This research was conducted by measuring natural thermal comfort and knowing how much influence the shade plants have on natural thermal comfort in the house. Dwellings are grouped into two groups namely dwellings with shade plants and dwellings with no shade plants. Static measurement data is carried out with several comfort variables in the form of temperature, humidity, and wind speed and then measured using a HOBO temp / RH logger tool with measurement time from 06.00-18.00 WITA. The results showed that the average highest temperature for houses with shade plants was 30.2 ° C and houses without shade plants were 31.3 ° C. Then the highest average humidity of residential houses with 73% shade plants and 73% without shade plants, with this humidity is in the comfort zone. While the average yield of 0.19 m / s for the highest wind speed of houses without shade plants and 0.65 m / s of shade houses. The results of the occupants comfort survey show that some respondents still feel comfortable but still expect cooler conditions of thermal comfort. Respondents adapt to environmental conditions by choosing comfortable and thin clothing and reducing activities that cause a lot of sweat.

Authors: Swetha V P , Sheeja T E , Sasikumar B
Published: February 2020

Myristica is the largest and primitive genus of the taxonomically complex family Myristicaceae. DNA barcoding was used to study the evolutionary relationship between Myristica spp. and other genera of Myristicaceae. The barcoding loci namely, rbcL, matK, psbA-trnH, ITS and multilocus combinations were tested to assess their phylogenetic relationship. psbA-trnH locus revealed information regarding the relationship of species in Myristica genus. M. fragrans was found to be closely related to M. beddomei, M. amygdalina, M. andamanica1, whereas M. Fatua was found to be distinct from M. malabarica. Gymnocranthera and Knema species were found to share sister relation with other Myristica spp.

Forecasting value at risk (VAR) for emerging and developed markets
Authors: Naimy Viviane , Bou Zeidan Melissa
Published: February 2020

This paper explores different approaches to modelling and forecasting VaR, using both historical simulation and volatility-weighted bootstrap methods, where volatility is estimated using GARCH (1,1) and EGARCH (1,1). It examines the one day predictive ability of three historical simulation VaR models at the 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence levels for developed and emerging equity markets for the period 2011- 2017 that witnessed difficult and extreme market conditions. 870 scenarios of future returns are generated for each of the 500 days representing the out of sample period extending from March 2015 up to January 2017 in order to estimate the corresponding VaR for both markets. The GARCH (1,1) volatility-weighted model is accepted for both markets and is classified as the best performing model. The EGARCH (1,1) volatility-weighted model’s results were inconclusive; in fact, the back-test was accepted at all confidence levels for the developed markets while rejected at the 99% confidence level for the emerging markets. The basic historical simulation failed in estimating an accurate VaR for the emerging markets.
Effect of family control on corporate financing decisions of firms: evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Yousaf Imran , Ali Shoaib , Hasan Arshad
Published: February 2020

This study examines the effect of family control on corporate financing of the firms in Pakistan over the period 2005 to 2017. Moreover, this study also investigates, whether family control moderates the impact of firm specific factors on corporate financing of the firms. This study  is employed the GMM model for panel data estimation. The results of mean difference univariate analysis show that family firms are different from non-family firms based on different financial characteristics. Multivariate analysis results reveal that family control significantly impacts the corporate financing decisions of the firms. In addition, firm size, tangibility, profitability, non-debt tax shield, dividends and liquidity are found to be the important determinants of corporate financing decision of the firms. The moderation analysis reports that family control plays a significant moderating role between the relationship of firm’s characteristics (i.e. size, tangibility and probability) and debt ratios of the firms in Pakistan. These findings reveal useful insights for investors, banks, regulator and business families of the Pakistan.
Corporate Governance and Risk Aggressiveness of Islamic Banks Against the Recent Financial Crisis
Authors: Ulussever Talat
Published: February 2020

This study examines whether the multi-layer corporate governance mode of Islamic banking system can prevent Islamic banks from excessive risk taking and hence protect against its fallibility to the global financial crisis. Employing the random-effects GLS method with two-step GMM method for the robustness check and using the dataset of total 154 banks over the period of 2005–2011, the results show that the corporate governance and financial disclosure indices appear as the motivating factors for risk taking attitudes of Islamic banks. Thus, the governance mechanism of Islamic banks is effective in protecting them against their fallibility to the global financial crisis.
Decisión de localización del hogar en España. Modelo de clases latentes vs. modelo mixto.
Authors: Hernández Alemán Anastasia
Published: February 2020

En este trabajo, se analiza la heterogeneidad inobservable en la elección de la zona de residencia del hogar, distinguiendo entre tres alternativas: zona urbana, zona interurbana y zona rural. La estructura más flexible del modelo de clases latentes permite profundizar en mayor medida en el análisis de la heterogeneidad inobservable respecto al más limitado análisis de la aleatoriedad de los parámetros del modelo logit mixto. Del análisis realizado se puede distinguir entre dos clases o grupos de hogares con comportamientos diferenciados en cuanto a la decisión de localización y, asociado a ello, con estilos de vida diferentes. Así, determinados atributos de la localización de la vivienda, como el ruido, la contaminación o la delincuencia, afectan a la preferencia del hogar de forma diferente según la clase de pertenencia. También las características individuales del responsable del hogar, como la edad, el género o el nivel educativo, tienen un impacto diferente en la preferencia por la localización según la clase de pertenencia. Los resultados permiten distinguir dos estilos de vida asociados a cada clase o grupo de preferencia: el suburbano y el urbano.

Published: February 2020

Aim.To assess the effect of cytoflavin on the dynamics of the blood and oral fluid prooxidant-antioxidant system in patients with maxillofacial area phlegmons.

Materials and methods. 55 patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups: control group (group 1, n = 20); comparison group (group 2, n = 15); patients with phlegmons of the maxillofacial area (group 3, n = 20). As part of therapy, the patients in group 3 were additionally receiving cytoflavin (10 ml cytoflavin in 200 ml saline solution, 1 time per day, for 6 days). The treatment and monitoring was performed over the period of 6 days, during which the blood and oral fluid indicators were estimated 4 times (day 1, 2, 4 and 6).

Results. Cytoflavin had a positive effect on the state of the prooxidant-antioxidant balance in patients with maxillofacial area phlegmons. In comparison with the control group, patients in group 3 demonstrated a lower content of oxidative modifi cation products and a higher antioxidant activity of blood plasma. Cytoflavin therapy also led to an increase in the activity of glutathione peroxidase and reductase, as well as an increase in the concentration of glutathione at the last stage of the therapy.

Conclusion. The obtained data indicate the potential of cytoflavin as part of complex metabolic therapy for patients with purulent inflammatory processes of the maxillofacial area.

Aim. To assess the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A for evaluating the functional state of the endometrium in women suffering from infertility and chronic endometritis.

Materials and methods. Endometrium biopsy specimens obtained from 41 patients with uterine factor infertility (experimental group) were examined. A comparison group was composed of 39 women diagnosed with the “male factor” infertility exhibiting no infl ammatory processes of the reproductive organs. An endometrial biopsy was performed in both phases of the menstrual cycle: on days 8–10 of the follicular phase and on days 21–24 of the luteal phase. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors was evaluated on the basis of immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy specimens using monoclonal antibodies. The results of the immunohistochemical reaction were quantifi ed using the ImageJ software. A quantitative criterion — a stained area coeffi cient (per cent) representing the ratio of the immunohistochemical staining area to that of a biopsy specimen — was proposed for assessing the level of VEGF-A expression.

Results. In the chronic endometritis group, the intensity of VEGF-A expression was found to be 1.4 times higher than that in the comparison group during the proliferation phase (p < 0.001). Expression values of the secretion phase were 1.9 times higher than those in the comparison group (p < 0.01).

Conclusion. Chronic endometritis is characterized by an overexpression of VEGF-A by various endometrium cellular components. Interpretation of immunohistochemical stains using the method of computer morphometry allows quantitative indicators characterizing the intensity of angiogenesis marker expression in the endometrium during the menstrual cycle to be obtained. The level of VEGF-A expression can be used as an additional marker improving the quality of biopsy diagnostics in patients with infertility.
