Objectives: We sought to determine whether high posttreatment platelet reactivity (HPPR) to a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel affects outcomes in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to investigate whether there is a relationship between the number of platelet reactivity units (PRUs) and the characteristics of the patients.

Background: Although impaired platelet response to clopidogrel is a strong predictor of unfavorable outcome after PCI, the impact of HPPR to a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel in Chinese patients with ACS undergoing PCI is still unknown.

Methods: We performed observational research on 134 unselected patients with ACS undergoing urgent or planned PCI with a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel. Platelet activation was expressed as the PRU value measured by the VerifyNow assay.

Results: Among the 134 patients (mean age 60.62 years [standard deviation 9.13 years], 60.4% male), there were 46 patients with HPPR (34.3%) and 88 patients without HPPR (65.7%). At a mean follow-up of 6 months (standard deviation 1 month), the rates of cardiac death, unstable angina, and rehospitalization for target lesion revascularization were higher in the HPPR group (19.6% vs. 6.8%, P=0.029). Multivariate analysis identified hemoglobin level and sex as independent predictors of the PRU value (y=456.355−1.736x
1−31.880x
2, P<0.05). On receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, PRU values could significantly discriminate between patients with and patients without cardiac death, unstable angina, and rehospitalization for target lesion revascularization (area under the curve 0.758, 95% confidence interval 0.62–0.85, P=0.001, P<0.05).

Conclusion: In patients with ACS, HPPR to a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel is associated with worse outcomes after PCI. There is some relationship between the PRU value and the hemoglobin level and sex. PRU values can predict the prognosis.
Hosting Migrants in Kyoto City: Different Migrant Cohorts and Mutual Support
Authors: Seiger Fiona-Katharina , Nagata Atsumasa
Published: July 2020

Since the late 1980s, the population of Filipinas married to Japanese men has increased in Kyoto. Numerous women had initially entered Japan as entertainers, later found partners, and built families in the city. The growing numbers of resident Filipinas led to the organization of the local Pag-asa Filipino community. Considering migrants as city-makers, we explore how Filipina residents together with residents springing off earlier cohorts of migrants have contributed to the emergence of new socialities, among others by providing the (infra)structure for newly arriving migrants to access substantial citizenship rights and to foster ties with local residents. We look at these encounters, ties, and relationships forming on the premises of the Kyoto City Multicultural Exchange Networking Salon in terms of socialities as this allows us to avoid reifying the cultural essentialism that undergirds both Japanese nationalism and multiculturalism, while acknowledging the social and institutional constraints within which these socialities emerge and are made sense of. Empirically drawing upon data collected among the Kyoto Filipino community, we use the conceptual lens of hosting to capture how multiculturalism is made in Kyoto City, while challenging dichotomous conceptions of the host versus the migrant.
Los sistemas de cargo en una comunidad migrante translocal de la Mixteca Poblana
Authors: López Ángel Gustavo , Muguía Salazar Alex , Rodríguez Suárez Pedro Manuel
Published: July 2020

El sistema de gobernanza de las comunidades indígenas difiere de las nociones tradicionales, porque, a diferencia de su condición pasiva, esta descansa en un constante ejercicio de transformación con dinámicas derivadas de la migración interna e internacional. La ciudadanía sustantiva tradicional ha reposado sobre una concepción de comunidad homogénea, con sistemas de pertenencia únicos, sin reparar o incluir, en el análisis, la diversidad de actores y procesos que existen en su interior. Por ello, el tránsito hacia la ciudadanía multicultural es una de las próximas tareas en la construcción de políticas públicas del Estado mexicano.
Activities of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania chancellery under the management of Leon Sapieha (1585–1623)
Authors: Diemantaitė Vita
Published: July 2020

After the reforms that took place in 1566 the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Union of Lublin began its new phase of life in 1569. During this phase The Chancellery of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania played an essential role. At the time the institution was comprised of Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and its most important employees – clerks – people of average nobility that had a chance to show their knowledge working at a chancellery. Leon Sapiega was one of such people. While examining the works of other historians we can notice that L. Sapiega has a variety of biographies, but not including the clerical aspect, they can be considered to be a collection of chronological presentation of facts and not a comprehensive biography of a high-ranking official. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to answer the question of how L. Sapiega as a person influenced the development of the Chancery of the GDL. Institutions are usually represented by leaders and each leader leaves a footprint in the institution’s history. L. Sapiega was not an exeption as his office had undergone several stages of development.

Affective entanglements with the sexual imagery of paradise in the Qur’an
Authors: Tourage Mahdi
Published: July 2020

This paper examines affective structures and power formations that are constructed,maintained or contested when the significance of the sexual imageryof paradise in the Qur’an is divided into sensual and spiritual. I take a fictionalstory by Mohja Kahf as an example of a Qur’an commentary that centresgendered and embodied experiences in the text, and contrast it with MuhammadAbdel Haleem’s commentary, who views the sexual rewards of paradiseas allegorical. Using affect theory, I will argue that allegorical interpretationslimit the affective efficacy of the sensuality of the text to their symbolic function,associating spirituality with a disembodied, hence transcendent masculinity.Kahf’s exegesis, however, shows that affect and meaning are not pre-given, butproduced in interaction with the text. I will conclude that configuring the textas sensual or spiritual is not due to any intrinsic or predetermined content, buta product of power relations.

Lessons Learned

Palbociclib monotherapy demonstrated minimal clinical activity in patients with previously treated gastroesophageal cancers. Further clinical evaluation of palbociclib monotherapy is not warranted in gastroesophageal cancers, but improved understanding of resistance mechanisms may permit rational combination approaches.

Background

Dysregulation of the cell cycle is a hallmark of cancer. Progression through the G1/S transition requires phosphorylation of retinoblastoma (RB) by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) 4 and 6, which are regulated by cyclins D and E. Amplifications of cyclin D loci and activating mutations in CDKs are frequent molecular aberrations in gastroesophageal malignancies. We conducted a phase II trial of the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib as an initial test of efficacy.

Methods

Patients with previously treated metastatic gastroesophageal cancers with intact RB nuclear expression by immunohistochemistry were treated with 125 mg daily of palbociclib for days 1–21 of 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was overall response rate.

Results

We screened 29 patients and enrolled 21 patients: 5 with gastric adenocarcinoma, 3 with gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, 8 with esophageal adenocarcinoma, and 5 with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. All 29 tumors screened had intact nuclear RB expression, and four treated patients tested positive for CCND1 overexpression. No objective responses were seen. Median progression-free survival was 1.8 months, and median overall survival was 3.0 months. All recurrent grade 3 or 4 toxicities were hematologic, with neutropenia in eight patients (38%), anemia in four patients (19%), and thrombocytopenia in two patients (10%).

Conclusion

Palbociclib has limited single-agent activity in gastroesophageal tumors.
Does Public Health Insurance Provide Financial Protection Against Out-Of-Pocket Health Payments? Evidence from Turkey
Authors: TİRGİL Abdullah , ÖZBUĞDAY Fatih Cemil
Published: July 2020

Turkey has initiated comprehensive reforms to increase equity among its citizens for healthcare financing, access to health services, and health outcomes. A significant change in this process was expanding the benefits package for the non-contributory public health insurance for low-income households. This study examines the impact of the public insurance expansion on out-of-pocket healthcare expenditures for the poor. We find that public insurance helped the beneficiaries not spend a sizeable portion of their income to get medical treatment. Overall, the public insurance program provided financial protection for the poor households by decreasing out-of-pocket health expenditures.
Agrega hacminin ultra yüksek performanslı betonun büzülme, reolojik ve mekanik özelliklerine etkisi
Authors: YALÇINKAYA Çağlar , FELEKOĞLU Burak , YAZICI Halit
Published: July 2020

Reoloji
ve büzülme, başarılı bir yerleştirme işlemi gerçekleştirmek ve dayanıklı bir
ultra yüksek performanslı beton (UYPB) üretmek için kontrol altında tutulması
gereken anahtar özelliklerdir. Yakın gelecekte UYPB'nin yerinde döküm
uygulamalarının artması beklenmektedir ve bu yüzden erken yaş özellikleri
konusundaki araştırmalar önem kazanmıştır. Ancak hala istenen performansı
garanti edebilen standartlaşmış bir karışım tasarımı yöntemi bulunmamaktadır. Yüksek
miktardaki çimento içeriği ve düşük su/bağlayıcı oranı, özellikle erken yaşta çatlak
riskini yükselten büzülme değerlerini arttırmaktadır. Karışım oranlarının,
reolojik davranışı ve büzülme özelliklerini tayin eden temel değişkeni şüphesiz
ki agrega hacmi, dolayısıyla da hamur hacmidir. Deneysel çalışma kapsamında
kuvars agregası hacminin UYPB'nin reolojik, büzülme ve mekanik özelliklere
etkisi araştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, agrega hacminin arttırılmasının psödoplastik
davranışın belirginleşmesine sebep olduğunu göstermiştir. Kendiliğinden
yerleşen bir UYPB üretebilmek için agrega hacmi üst değeri %45 olarak
bulunmuştur. Gerek bünyesel büzülme gerekse kuruma büzülmesi, agrega hacminin
arttırılmasıyla sınırlandırılabilmektedir. Erken yaş bünyesel büzülme ve kuruma
büzülmesi, kalıp alımından sonra 90 gün boyunca ölçülen uzun dönemli
büzülmelerden kat be kat fazladır. Bu sebeple gerekli önlemler döküm aşamasından
itibaren alınmalıdır.

spektrometere ve X-ışınları kırınım teknikleri ile değerlendirildi. Elde edilen
sonuçlar, Zn ilave edilerek modifiye edilen 3003 alüminyum alaşımının TRC
yöntemi ile üretilmesi sonucu bu folyoların yüzey pürüzlülüğünün ve korozyon
hızı değerlerinin, DC yöntemi ile üretilen benzer alaşımlara göre daha yüksek

APPLICATION OF NARRATIVES IN PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSULTATION OF RESCUERS – JFO PARTICIPANTS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TIME PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Afanasieva N.
Published: July 2020

The article determined the ways to use narratives in psychological counselling of rescuers – Joint Forces Operation (JFO) participants for optimization of their time perspective. Psychological counselling is considered as a special type of a narrative, which have the following characteristic elements related to its deployment – a starting point, localization, beginning, development of actions, culmination, a solution and a code. This structure of narrative deployment is directly related to a time-perspective structure, since its reflects the chronology of events. Rescuers participated in the JFO have a negative attitude towards the past, which is associated with the experience of really unpleasant events and injuries, so pleasant impressions are shadowed and most of the memories are reconstructed into negative ones. Rescuers’ attitude to life is associated with pursuance of joy, excite, enjoy at the present, risk taking without worries about possible consequences of such behaviour. The future life in general is less important than the present and the past. In order to optimize the time orientation of rescuers – JFO participants, we suggest using the elements of their autobiographical narratives during psychological counselling. The autobiographical narrative of each person is a unique combination of memories, awareness of event meanings, feelings and mythology, which all together build an individual life story. An individual history includes all events occurred with a person in the past. An autobiographical narrative includes a selection of events in the context of three time intervals – the past, the present and the future. Psychological counselling for rescuers – JFO participants is aimed at time orientation balancing, which is needed for an individual’s effective life. A balanced time orientation is the most psychologically and physically healthy for a person and is optimal for his/her life in society. Positive changes in the time perspective are one of the indicators of traumatic symptom reduction.
SOCIAL IDENTITY OF CADETS – FUTURE MILITARIES
Authors: Kovalenko A. , Bezverkha K.
Published: July 2020

The article presents the results of research on the social identity of cadets – future militaries. In this case, social identity is defined as the direction of individual knowledge on belonging to a particular social group that has an emotional and appraised value for an individual and his/her membership in the group. Self-concepts and values are the leading structural components of social identity. The results of the empirical study indicate that a significant group for the cadets – future militaries is not their membership group, with which they have to spend almost all their time, but an informal group where they feel free, relaxed, and supportive. The study of the Self-concept components shows a predominance of reflective Self at the most respondents. This confirms the results of the choice of informal groups as significant ones, where cadets have creative, friendly relationships that give them a sense of growth and development, or where they simply meet their personal needs. It is empirically determined that the students are more inclined to domination than subordination, which confirms the conclusion that their study group is not the significant one. Cadets – future militaries highly value the health, love, life wisdom and existence of good and loyal friends, as well as politeness, cleanliness, independence, responsibility, and firmness of will. The sample value the least the beauty of nature and art, creativity, the happiness of others, indifference to their and strangers’ negative qualities, as well as sensitivity.

Published: July 2020

During an earthquake, site effects can play an important role in triggering landslides. To document the seismic response of steep hillslopes, we deployed broadband seismometers across a mountain ridge in Taiwan, in an area with a high earthquake-induced landslide hazard. The ridge has a simple, representative shape, and landslides have previously occurred there. Our seismometer array has recorded continuously during more than 1 yr, with both ambient-noise and regional moderate earthquakes as sources. Processing horizontal and vertical signal components, we show that the ridge has a complex response, which we attribute to the combined effects of the subsurface geology and the topographic geometry. Amplification and directionality of ground motion are observed both high and low on the ridge, giving rise to localized, elevated, earthquake-induced landslide hazard. Our database contains earthquakes with mostly similar locations, making it difficult to determine the effect of earthquake back azimuth on the ridge response. A part of the ridge response, possibly due to topographic effects, seems to be explained by a model derived from a frequency scale curvature proxy at low frequency. If correct, this would be a promising first step toward improving local ground-motion estimation in mountain areas. However, the definition of appropriate scaling parameters of site effects based on geophysical measurements, for use in regional and global landslide hazard equations applicable to mountain areas with substantial regolith thickness, remains a significant challenge.
Timeliness Value and Free-from-error Quality of Accounting Information: A Study on Commercial Banks
Authors: Ahamed Mohammad Jafaur
Published: July 2020

This paper makes an effort to assess the timeliness value and free-from-error quality of accounting information generated by AIS through the avenue of annual reports of the selected commercial banks in Bangladesh. An opinion survey was run through a closed questionnaire- designed by using a five-point Likert scale. Based on primary data, the study reveals that the qualities of accounting information produced by AIS of commercial banks are satisfactory in terms of both timeliness and free-from-error, yet inadequate in absolute terms. Moreover, the study substantiates that there is no significant variation (homogeneity) of opinion among the respondents regarding the timeliness and accuracy of accounting information. The outcomes of the study identified that the feature of annual reports of commercial banks in Bangladesh is not up to the standard due to erratic power supply, poor communication infrastructures, the accidental entry of poor data, virus infection, unauthorized accessing, copying, printing and distributing of data or information, etc. Consequently, respective authorities are highly encouraged to come forward to ensure the maximum qualities of AIS. The study has focused on two qualitative characteristics and only on the annual report. Thus, further research is recommended to conduct focusing on others such as quarterly and interim reports, bank circulars, financial press releases, etc. to investigate the extent of additional qualities, for instance, feedback value, credible value, clarity value, etc.

Thematic cooperative health research networks (RETICS) are organizational structures promoted by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III of the Spanish Ministry of Science with the objective of carrying out cooperative research projects addressing challenges of general interest for society as a whole in the field of health care. The RETICS of Asthma, Adverse Drug Reactions, and Allergy (ARADyAL) received funding in 2016 for a 5-year program (2017-2021). ARADyAL integrates basic and clinical research in the areas of allergy, immunology, genetics, nanomedicine, pharmacology, and chemistry, with special interest in research on new biomarkers and the design and evaluation of new interventions for allergic patients with severe phenotypes. The consortium comprises 28 groups across Spain, including 171 clinical and basic researchers, 17 clinical groups that cover more than 10 000 000 patients of all ages from urban and rural areas and 11 basic groups active mostly at universities and research institutes. ARADyAL has proposed a research program organized into 3 different areas focusing on precision medicine, as follows: Program 1, Mechanisms and prediction of adverse drug reactions and allergic diseases; Program 2, Toward a precise diagnosis of allergic diseases; and Program 3, Predicting interventions in allergic diseases. There is also 1 common program dedicated to training. The network has a Steering Committee and an External Advisory Scientific Committee, which advise the global network coordinator, who has recognized expertise in the field. ARADyAL is a unique meeting point for clinicians and basic scientists who are already working in allergy.

Background: Data on risk factors for uncontrolled asthma in preschool children are controversial. Objective: This study aims to explore the association between clinical and functional parameters and the lack of asthma control in preschool children. Methods: Children aged 3-5 years with asthma and healthy controls were recruited. A questionnaire was used to identify potential risk factors for uncontrolled asthma, as defined by the Global INitiative for Asthma criteria. Lung function and bronchial reversibility were evaluated through impulse oscillometry and spirometry. Adjusted odds ratios were estimated based on multivariable generalized additive regression models. The discriminative ability of the models was measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: The study population comprised 121 children (107 with asthma and 14 healthy controls). Fifty-three patients (50%) had uncontrolled asthma. After adjustment, the variables associated with an increased risk of lack of control were as follows: “More than 3 flare-ups in the last 12 months”, “Moderate to severe rhinitis”, and “Relative variation in postbronchodilator FVC and FEV1”. The AUC of the final models that included variation in FVC or FEV1 were 0.82 and 0.81, respectively. The R5-20, R5-20%, and AX z-score values of the healthy group were lower than those of children with asthma. Conclusion: In preschool children, clinical and functional parameters are associated with uncontrolled asthma. More studies are needed to confirm the usefulness of impulse oscillometry. Key words: Asthma. Asthma control. Lung function tests. Preschool asthma. Risk factors.

Published: July 2020

Background: Honey is a natural therapeutic agent which manifest antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacteria. Therefore, the current study was designed to isolate pathogenic bacteria from burn wound and also to determine the anti-bacterial traits of natural and processed honey against infectious agents.

Methods: Wound samples were collected from burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and conventional cultural methods were applied to identify pathogenic microorganisms. A total of six samples including three each of natural and processed honey were tested for the determination of antimicrobial activity by agar well diffusion method.  

Results: Among ten wound samples highest load of total viable bacteria was recorded up to 3.7×106 cfu/ml. The maximum load of Pseudomonas spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were found up to 1.6×104 cfu/ml and 8.7×104 cfu/ml respectively. Significant in vitro antimicrobial activity was found in all the samples. Natural honey showed a little bit more efficacy than processed honey. The samples exhibited antibacterial traits against Staphylococcus aureus with a wide zone of inhibition and moderate zone of inhibition against Pseudomonas spp. when they are subjected to 100% concentered honey. E. coli and Klebsiella spp. were remained to be unaffected at 75% and 50% concentrated honey, while S. aureus and Pseudomonas spp. were found to be sensitive at those concentrations.

Conclusions: The in vitro efficacy of different types of honey tested against the bacteria dependent on the type of honey and the concentration at which it was administered. In our study 100% concentred honey was more efficient in inhibiting all the tested isolates.

Background: Nepalese society is traditionally patriarchal and son-preferred with increasing numbers of sex-selective abortions. In this context, this study aims to assess the gender preference and associated factors among pregnant women visiting the antenatal care ward of a large public maternity hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out among 821 antenatal women. Data was collected via face to face interview with structured questionnaire, and gender preference was assessed using Coombs’ scale.  

Results: At the first instance, more than half 56.2% respondents wished to have two sons and one daughter if they were to have only three children. On asking further questions as per the Coombs’ scale, about 40% of the respondents had son preference falling in IS scale 7-5, 33% had balanced IS-4, and 27% had daughter preference (IS 3-1). The respondent characteristics significantly associated with gender preference were ecological region (p=0.007), education (p=0.009), marital duration (p=0.044) and parity 0.32.

Conclusions: The wish to have son is prevalent among the respondents followed by a mixed gender of children. Educational status, ecological region, and parity explain this differential wish. Women’s education and autonomy are the areas to tackle with sex bias of offspring.
Sombras, censuras y tabús en los libros infantiles
Authors: Hanán Díaz Fanuel
Published: July 2020

Como todos los productos culturales, la literatura infantil no está exenta de ideología. Los libros infantiles pueden ser poderosos instrumentos para ejercer el control. Por ello, muchos de ellos han querido mostrar un mundo sumiso y aséptico. Desde la racionalidad de la cultura, los tabús instalan un eje de dominación y poder; desde lo moral y lo religioso agrupan a una serie de actos condenables públicamente; desde lo pedagógico acogen temas que no deben se tratados para ciertos receptores. Sin embargo, la literatura posee sus propios recursos para representar la realidad, sin ellos hubiese sido imposible adentrarse en la fascinante y contradictoria esencia de la que estamos compuestos los seres humanos.
Análisis bidimensional de la estabilidad de vehículos pesados tipo carro-tanque
Authors: Moreno Gonzalo , Serrano Juan Carlos , Figueroa-Salgado Simón
Published: July 2020

En el presente trabajo se realiza elanálisis de la estabilidad de vehículos pesados tipo carro-tanque. Para dicho propósito se utiliza el factor denominado umbral de vuelco estático (Static Rollover Threshold, por las siglas eninglés SRT), el cual permite evaluar la máxima fuerza inercial aplicada lateralmente que puede soportar el vehículo antes de iniciar el proceso de vuelco. Adicionalmente, este factor permite determinar la máxima velocidad que el vehículo puede desarrollar al recorrer una curva, dando de esta manera mayor seguridad para los usuarios de la vía. Teniendo en cuenta estos aspectos, se estudia la estabilidad de un carro-tanque de sección transversal circular, ya que para vehículos que transportan líquidos la estabilidad es más crítica, debido a que se debe tener en cuenta el movimiento del fluido transportado cuando es sometido a una aceleración lateral, lo cual puede disminuir el factor de estabilidad. Por consiguiente, para determinar el factor de estabilidad se realiza un análisis detallado del movimiento del fluido como función de la aceleración y el llenado del tanque y se utiliza el método de Davies para el análisis cuasi-estático de la estabilidad del vehículo.

Double extractor induction motor:
Variational calculation using the Hamilton-
Jacobi-Bellman formalism
Authors: Mesa Fernando , Ramírez Carlos A. , Barba-Ortega José José
Published: July 2020

This contribution presents optimal control over a double extractor induction motor using formalism through variational
model. The criterion is subject to non-stationary equations of a reduced order (Dynamics equations of a reduced order
model (DSIM)). As is well know, in this model the state variables are the rotor flow and motor speed in a circuit
mechanical process. For non-stationary and stationary states, based on the theory of optimal control, this limit provides
a high expensive function given as a weighted contribution of a DSIM theory. To order to acquire a lowest energy
rotor flow path, the idea is to minimize the function to a dynamic of two equations of the motor speed and rotor flow.
This problem is solved using with the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and a time dependent solution for the rotor
flow is determined analytically.
