Published: January 2017

prototipe produk solar tracker cerdas berbasis mikrokontroler AVR 8 bit. Solar tracker ini memasukkan filter digital IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) pada bagian program. Memprogram filter ini membutuhkan perkalian 32 bit sedangkan prosesor yang tersedia pada mikrokontroler yang dipakai adalah 8 bit. Proses perkalian ini hanya bisa dilakukan pada mikrokontroler 8 bit dengan menggunakan bahasa assembly yang merupakan bahasa level hardware. Solar tracker cerdas yang menggunakan mikrokontroler 8 bit sebagai otak utama pada penelitian ini menjadikan produk ini berbiaya rendah. Pengujian yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa solar tracker cerdas dibandingkan dengan solar tracker biasa mempunyai perbedaan konsumsi daya baterai yang sangat signifikan yaitu terjadi penghematan sebesar 85 %. Besar penghematan konsumsi daya ini tentunya bukan sebuah angka konstan melainkan tergantung seberapa besar noise yang dikenakan pada alat solar tracker. Untuk sebuah perlakuan yang sama, maka semakin besar noise semakin besar pula perbedaan penghematan konsumsi daya pada solar tracker yang cerdas.

Abstract

This research had made a prototype of smart solar tracker product based on microcontroller AVR 8 bit. The solar tracker used digital filter IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) on its software. Filter programming needs 32 bit multiplication but the processor inside of the microcontroller that used in this research is 8 bit. This multiplication is only can be solved on microcontroller 8 bit by using assembly language in programming. The language is a hardware level language. The smart solar tracker using the microcontroller 8 bit as a main brain in this research made the product had a low cost. The test results show that the comparison in saving of baterai power consumption between the smart solar tracker and the normal one is 85 %. The percentage of the saving indubitably is not a constant number but depend on how much noise occurs on the solar tracker. For the same operation of both kind of the solar tracker, the greater of noise will make the greater of the percentage of saving of power consumption for the smart solar tracker.
Remesas familiares y sus efectos en la pobreza
Authors: Alvarado Juárez Ana Margarita
Published: January 2017

En este trabajo se muestra el papel que juegan las remesas en la reducción de la pobreza en el municipio de San Lucas Quiaviní, Oaxaca. Para ello se consideraron las líneas de ingreso empleadas por el Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la Política de Desarrollo Social (CONEVAL, 2010) en la medición multidimensional de la pobreza: la Línea de Bienestar (LB) y la Línea de Bienestar Mínimo (LBM). En términos metodológicos, se realizó una encuesta a los jefes de hogar de dicha comunidad para conocer la estructura del ingreso familiar. Los resultados reflejan que, considerando la línea de bienestar mínimo de $838.20, la recepción de remesas reduce el porcentaje de hogares en pobreza alimentaria de 36.3 a 52 %; mientras que si se considera la línea de bienestar de $1 555.10 las remesas reducen el porcentaje de 77.5 a 88.2 %.

Actualmente las instituciones de Educación Superior en México tanto publicas como privadas se encuentran bajo un enfoque de competencias, lo que ha llevado a los académicos-investigadores a buscar desarrollar perfiles docente apropiado en relación a los nuevos requerimientos educativos. En este sentido, es fundamental establecer qué competencias, conocimientos y habilidades cognitivas y creativas debe poseer el docente, que además sean capaces de ejecutar efectivamente como un ejercicio eficaz en su función. Así mismo las competencias docentes son un pilar importante para la formación integral de los estudiantes. Para ello, es necesaria su capacitación en  el desarrollo de las competencias, así como su verificación mediante el monitoreo. Sin embargo, en el área de las Ciencias Políticas, existe una ausencia del  perfil docente generado a través de un catálogo de competencias. Es por ello, que el presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar las competencias del perfil docente de la licenciatura de Ciencias Políticas y Administración Pública. La importancia del estudio se basa en proponer un catálogo de perfil docente (ingreso o permanencia) bajo el enfoque de competencias, generado a través de un modelo de análisis multicriterio para generar y validar el perfil de competencias a través de expertos, utilizando el método “AHP” (Proceso de Análisis Jerárquico), creando una matriz apareada por criterios jerarquizados, que combina los métodos deductivos e inductivos, dando como resultado un catálogo el cual servirá de referencia a las Instituciones de Educación Superior en el área de Ciencias Políticas y Administración Pública.

Three-component catalytic systems based on 2,6-bis(imino) pyridine iron(II) chloride were synthesized from different ligands, which provided new alternative catalysts for polymerization of ethylene. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the lack of absorption bands was observed in the region related to the carbonyl, as well as the presence of bands in the region of imino groups corresponding to C=N bonds. Coordination with Fe was also carried out. The structure of the ligands and the new catalysts were confirmed by the elemental analysis (CHN), and 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In ethylene polymerization with methylaluminoxane as a cocatalyst, the activity of catalyst C1 was high. Although this catalyst structure contains sterically bulky ligands, the metal center was not sufficiently protected allowing transfer reactions, producing polyethylene with a low molar mass and melting temperature.

For the first time the series of the composites of aniline and natural mineral glauconite with different ratio of components has been synthesized by oxidation of aniline by ammonium peroxydisulfate in 0.5 M citrate acid aqueous solutions in the presence of dispersion of mineral filler. X-ray phase analysis confirms the amorphous-crystalline structure of produced composites. Results of FTIR spectral analysis show that the samples contain PAn in the form of emeraldine salt and also indicate the presence of weak interfacial interaction between particles of glauconite and polyaniline macrochains in the result of the formation of hydrogen bonds. The results of thermogravimetric analysis of synthesized samples with different composition showed that thermal stability of composites samples increases under the higher glauconite content. It is determined that the thermodestruction of composites is a multistage process. The electric conductivity of composites produced samples with high content of polyaniline is on the level of pure polyaniline. The specific magnetization of synthesized composites in applied magnetic field increases to the value which is characteristic of the pure mineral under the increasing of glauconite content in the composite.

The thermochemical fuel properties of melon seed husk (MSH) were characterized to examine its solid biofuel (SBF) potential for future bioenergy utilization. MSH is a cheap, abundant and renewable source of lignocellulosic waste generated from the extraction of vegetable oil from melon seeds. Thermochemical characterization was examined by proximate, ultimate, and thermogravimetric (TG-DTG) analyses, as well as Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results showed that MSH exhibits significant volatile matter, fixed carbon, carbon and low nitrogen, sulphur and ash content with a heating value (HHV) of 19.02 MJ/kg. FT-IR analysis indicated functional groups for aliphatic, ester, ketone, alcohol, and aromatic compounds. Thermal decomposition of MSH occurred in three stages: drying (303–448 K), devolatization (448–673 K) and char degradation (673–1073 K).

KEBIJAKAN PEMBERIAN HAK REMISI NARAPIDANA KASUS KORUPSI
Authors: Ghozali Elizabeth
Published: January 2017

Hak remisi narapidana bukan merupakan hak yang bersifat inalienable rights (yang tidak dapat dihapus atau dicabut). Hak remisi adalah hak yang terbatas, yakni dibatasi oleh syarat dan tata cara tertentu. Namun, pembatasan syarat dan tata cara tersebut tidak dapat dilakukan secara direktif melalui PP Nomor 99 Tahun 2012, karena dalam UU Pemasyarakatan, hak remisi adalah hak setiap narapidana tanpa ada pembedaan berdasarkan kualifikasi tindak pidana yang dilakukan. Oleh karena itu, agar dalam penegakan hukum pemberian remisi kepada narapidana kasus korupsi jangan sampai melanggar hukum, perlu dilakukan penyesuaian (harmonisasi) terhadap UU Pemasyarakatan.

Not to misuse the regulation of the state as the factor that causes defects in the will of the Indonesian Civil Code, should be anticipated for the development of contract occurs so fast in practice. The convergence of an agreement in the form of rapprochement will of the parties, no longer occur in a balanced manner, because there are elements that influence the parties, both economically and psychologically, whereby the economically strong dominate the contract even harm the opposing party, so the contract applies biased, unfair and inappropriate. Therefore, the government needs to intervene to protect the weaker party. It was felt important need for inclusion of the substance abuse situation as a factor that will cause defects arising from Jurisprudence in the Netherlands as the fourth element, in addition to oversight, coercion and deception that has been set out in Article 1321 of the Civil Code. It is therefore necessary to be examined how the relationship between the abuse of state as the factor that causes the will deform against the abuse of contracts and how to position the state as a factor that causes defects will fill the void in the legal system of contract law in Indonesia. The results showed that the state of relationship abuse as factors that led to the agreement will deform, relevant because the agreement occur with the agreement, and to the agreed required the conformity of the will of the parties. For that agreement became the basis for the validity of the contract. But with the misuse of state in the contract raises the contract it becomes irrevocable, because conformity of his will are not met, while the position of the abuse of the state as the factor that causes a defect will in fill the legal vacuum in the system of contract law in Indonesia, it is very important, where in addition there is no setting in Indonesia, also the case in practice. The parties to a contract are often cornered by the interests of one party, so that the opposing party gives consent with full conviction, because it does not have the bargaining power is balanced, often one of the parties has a weak bargaining position, caused by the influence of the economic position and psychiatric one parties, so we need government intervention to oversee the implementation of the freedom of contract in practice, and making rules coercive. Keywords: Abuse of state; Disability Will; Contracts
ACUTE EFFECTS OF ROPE JUMPING WARM-UP ON POWER AND JUMPING ABILITY IN TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETES
Authors: Makaruk Hubert
Published: February 2017

Introduction. The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of traditional jumps and rope jumps during warm-up on power and jumping ability in trained men. Material and methods. A group of 12 national-level track and field athletes participated in the study. Peak power and jumping ability were assessed by having participants perform five alternate leg bounds, a countermovement jump (CMJ) and a drop jump (DJ). Three different warm-up protocols were used in random order, with 3-day intervals between them. The first involved traditional jumps, the second rope jumps and the control consisted of general warm-up only (jogging and stretching). Results. The rope-jump warm-up protocol significantly improved jumping distance (p<0.05) as compared to the traditional protocol. There were no significant differences in peak power or jump height among experimental groups in the CMJ and DJ. The study also revealed that traditional and ropejump protocols significantly (p<0.001) increased peak power and jump height for the CMJ and DJ, and jump distance for the five alternate leg bounds compared to the control condition. Conclusion. The results of this study suggest that a warm-up including rope jumps may be more effective for horizontal jumping tasks than a protocol with traditional jumps, and that traditional and rope-jump warm-up protocols provide similar levels of enhancement for vertical jumping tasks.

Authors: Szum Ernest , Cieśliński Ryszard
Published: February 2017

Introduction. The Roma for strangers are a people of serenity and fun. By the majority of the Polish society they are perceived as people who have lost touch with a broader context of social reality. The aim of the research was to gather material concerning traditional Gypsy fun and games, systematize the knowledge about the physical culture of the Polish Roma and also determine the sense of social actions taken within the scope of games and fun of this ethnic group. Material and methods. The research, belonging to the current of anthropological-ethnological thought, was carried out among the Roma from the eastern part of Poland. The findings were presented as elements of non-material culture and a form of physical activity of this ethnic group. The traditional games and fun of the Polish Roma were presented against the background of general characteristics of the ethnic group and the entire history of the Gypsies presence on Polish soil. Results and conclusions. The research has shown that the physical culture of the Polish Roma, displayed in the form of games and fun, is crucial for strengthening the existing social bonds and shaping new ones. The research has proven that the joint physical culture of the Polish Roma, being an integrating factor, initiates and intensifies social interactions, and is conducive to the development of interpersonal relations. It has been found that there are patterns of physical culture and forms of physical activity of characteristic of the Roma community. The study and the interpretation of the findings, has enabled the authors to systematize the knowledge on the physical culture of the Polish Roma, and also determine the sense of the actions taken by them in this scope.
INTERRELATIONSHIPS AMONG YIELD AND YIELD CONTRIBUTING TRAITS IN CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.)
Authors: Fiaz Sajid , Aslam Muhammad
Published: January 2017

Twenty chickpea genotypes including four varieties were evaluated for the existence of genetic variability and to know the interrelationship among yield traits under study during 2013-2014, at University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications. Data were recorded on number of days taken to flowering, number of primary branches plant-1, number of secondary branches plant -1, plant height, number of days taken to maturity, number of pods plant -1, numbers of seed pods-1, total plant weight, Number of grains plant-1, 100- seed weight and grain yield plant-1. The obtained data were analyzed for genetic variability parameters, correlation and path coefficient analysis.  The height broad sense heritability estimates were obtained for 100-seed weight (0.977), plant height (0.971), total plant weight (0.971) and number of primary branches plant-1.  Genetic advance was higher for plant height (9.054), total plant weight (9.054), number of pods plant-1 (6.414) and 100-seed weight (2.941). The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was invariably slightly higher than their corresponding genetic coefficient of variation (GCV) due to influence of environment on character expression. Heritability estimates were higher for all characters except number of days taken to maturity and number of grains per plant, which exhibited moderate heritability. Hundred seed weight, plant height, total plant weight and primary branches per plant would be the suitable selection criteria to accomplish better grain yield in chickpea.

Drug-eluting stents (DES), which locally elute antiproliferative drugs, can dramatically inhibit neointimal growth. However, several pathological studies have indicated that DES may delay healing after vascular injury, and DES implantation may be theoretically associated with a risk of coronary artery aneurysm formation. Coronary aneurysms have been reported from 3 days to up to 4 years after DES implantation procedures, with varying clinical presentations. Mr. X, 60 years old diabetic, hypertensive got admitted in NICVD and was diagnosed as a case of Chronic Stable Angina. His ETT was strongly positive ,CAG showed Significant long lesion in LAD. Direct stenting with DES to LAD done and whole procedure was uneventful. After 10 days of PCI patient got readmitted in hospital with complaints of chest discomfort with high grade fever for 2 days. ECG showed AMI ( Extensive Anterior) indicating involvement of LAD territory with strong suspicion of Sub Acute Stent Thrombosis (SAST). Streptokinase could not be given due to delayed arrival. Patient was treated conservatively with LMWH. Check CAG was done 7 days after readmission showing Patent stent in LAD with aneurysmal dilatation at the distal end of stent in LAD. The object of this case report is to focus on the rare but not uncommon incidence of stent implantation.University Heart Journal Vol. 11, No. 2, July 2015; 85-89
‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?’
Authors: Human Elizabeth
Published: February 2017

This paper argues that More, in his Dialogue Concerning Heresies, establishes his domestic space as a site of political and religious discussion, and in doing so inescapably complicates its claim to privacy. More’s choice of dialogue form certainly facilitates readerly access, but in so doing it also subjects the author to the risks involved in textual self-presentation. By cloaking theological debate in first-person narrative, More juxtaposes the investigation of heresy with his own family life. The Dialogue is punctuated by and indeed structured around communal meals; all but the second book end with a call for supper, and by the last few lines of the text, the religious and the domestic are thoroughly intermingled.
Thomas More and the “Prayer for Detachment”
Authors: Koterski Joseph
Published: February 2017

This paper focuses on a theme of special importance in The Sadness of Christ, one of the last writings of Thomas More. While awaiting execution in the Tower of London, he wrote this book as a way to reflect on passages from the Gospel that depict the agony of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. In looking upon Christ as a model for virtue in the face of suffering and persecution, More commented at length on how to treat those who wrong us and how to cultivate a proper sense of detachment. This essay will compare More’s advice with that of his contemporary, Ignatius Loyola, with special reference to such passages from the Spiritual Exercises as the “First Principle and Foundation” and the “Three Degrees of Humility.”

Published: February 2017

In the past decade, poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA)-based micro/nanoparticles have garnered remarkable attention as antimicrobial agents and for drug delivery, owing to their controlled and sustained-release properties, low toxicity, as well as biocompatibility with tissue and cells. γ-PGA is a naturally occurring biopolymer produced by several gram-positive bacteria that, due to its biodegradable, non-toxic and non-immunogenic properties, has been used successfully in the medical, food and wastewater industries. Moreover, its carboxylic group on the side chains can offer an attachment point to conjugate antimicrobial and various therapeutic agents, or to chemically modify the solubility of the biopolymer. The unique characteristics of γ-PGA have a promising future for medical and pharmaceutical applications. In the present review, the structure, properties and micro/nanoparticle preparation methods of γ-PGA and its derivatives are covered. Also, we have highlighted the impact of micro/nanoencapsulation or immobilisation of antimicrobial agents and various disease-related drugs on biodegradable γ-PGA micro/nanoparticles.

Published: February 2017

We evaluated the microbiological performance of an ultraviolet (UV) light-based peritoneal dialysis catheter connection system. The system includes a UV light-generating device combined with a UV transmissive window incorporated into the transfer set. Each UV transparent transfer set was inoculated with 10 μL of cultured inoculum consisting of either S. aureus, E. coli, or C. albicans. After being inoculated, we attached a solution set connector to the transfer catheter, and exposed that connection to a UV light dose of approximately 340 mJoules/cm2. After exposure to UV light, we broke the seal of the solution set and opened the plunger valve on the UV transmissive transfer catheter. We then flushed 10 mL of dialysate through the connection. The flushed solution was collected, diluted, plated on agar medium, and incubated for 24 hours. Results were compared to positive controls collected in an identical manner without exposure to UV light. Thirty test samples and 3 positive controls were collected for each organism. All test samples exposed to UV light had complete kill of bacteria except 1 colony on a single plate in the S. aureus group. Mean log reduction was 4.03 for C. albicans, 4.73 for S. aureus, and 5.29 for E. coli. All positive control samples had significant bacterial growth. Our results demonstrate that the application of UV light within a UV transmissive transfer catheter window produces a germicidal effect upon microorganisms known to be associated with peritonitis.
Anemia in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients; Iron Repletion, Current and Future Therapies
Authors: Zeidan Ahmed , Bhandari Sunil
Published: February 2017

Iron deficiency, both functional and absolute, is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those requiring dialysis. Guidelines advocate treatment of iron-deficiency anemia in patients with CKD and those on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Oral iron is often insufficient and slow to improve hemoglobin concentrations because of high hepcidin levels causing impaired absorption and mobilization, while intravenous (IV) supplementation replenishes and maintains iron stores more effectively and is now standard practice (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes [KDIGO] 2012 guidelines). However, there still remain concerns about the effects of labile iron and possible increased risk of infections for this group of patients.

To date, the majority of published studies have focused on hemodialysis (HD) patients; very limited data are available regarding patients on PD. This review summarizes the rationale for iron therapy, methods of treatment, potential adverse effects, and long-term concerns in PD patients. In addition we highlight some interesting potential future therapies under study.
Constraints on Planet Nine’s Orbit and Sky Position within a Framework of Mean-motion Resonances
Authors: Millholland Sarah , Laughlin Gregory
Published: February 2017

A number of authors have proposed that the statistically significant orbital alignment of the most distant Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) is evidence of an as-yet undetected planet in the outer solar system, now referred to colloquially as “Planet Nine.” Dynamical simulations by Batygin & Brown have provided constraints on the range of the planet’s possible orbits and sky locations. We extend these investigations by exploring the suggestion of Malhotra et al. that Planet Nine is in small integer ratio mean-motion resonances (MMRs) with several of the most distant KBOs. We show that the observed KBO semimajor axes present a set of commensurabilities with an unseen planet at ∼654 au (P ∼ 16,725 years) that has a greater than 98% chance of stemming from a sequence of MMRs rather than from a random distribution. We describe and implement a Monte-Carlo optimization scheme that drives billion-year dynamical integrations of the outer solar system to pinpoint the orbital properties of perturbers that are capable of maintaining the KBOs’ apsidal alignment. This optimization exercise suggests that the unseen planet is most consistently represented with mass, m ∼ 6–12 M
⊕, semimajor axis, a ∼ 654 au, eccentricity, e ∼ 0.45, inclination, i ∼ 30°, argument of periastron, ω ∼ 150°, longitude of ascending node, Ω ∼ 50°, and mean anomaly, M ∼ 180°. A range of sky locations relative to this fiducial ephemeris are possible. We find that the region 30° ≲ R.A. ≲ 50°, −20° ≲ decl. ≲ 20° is promising.

Only a few hot Jupiters are known to orbit around fast rotating stars. These exoplanets are harder to detect and characterize and may be less common than around slow rotators. Here, we report the discovery of the transiting hot Jupiter XO-6b, which orbits a bright, hot, and fast rotating star: V = 10.25, T
eff⋆ = 6720 ± 100 K, v sin i
⋆ = 48 ± 3 km s−1. We detected the planet from its transits using the XO instruments and conducted a follow-up campaign. Because of the fast stellar rotation, radial velocities taken along the orbit do not yield the planet’s mass with a high confidence level, but we secure a 3σ upper limit M

Jup. We also obtain high-resolution spectroscopic observations of the transit with the SOPHIE spectrograph at the 193-cm telescope of the Observatoire de Haute-Provence and analyze the stellar lines profile by Doppler tomography. The transit is clearly detected in the spectra. The radii measured independently from the tomographic analysis and from the photometric light curves are consistent, showing that the object detected by both methods is the same and indeed transits in front of XO-6. We find that XO-6b lies on a prograde and misaligned orbit with a sky-projected obliquity

. The rotation period of the star is shorter than the orbital period of the planet: P
rot < 2.12 days, P
orb = 3.77 days. Thus, this system stands in a largely unexplored regime of dynamical interactions between close-in giant planets and their host stars.

We present the detailed characterization of two extremely red submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), ASXDF1100.053.1 and 231.1, with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Jansky Very Large Array. These SMGs were originally selected using AzTEC at 1100 μm, and are observed by Herschel to be faint at 100–500 μm. Their (sub)millimeter colors are as red as—or redder—than known z ≳ 5 SMGs; indeed, ASXDF1100.053.1 is redder than HFLS 3, which lies at z = 6.3. They are also faint and red in the near-/mid-infrared: ∼1 μJy at IRAC 4.5 μm and <0.2 μJy in the K
s filter. These SMGs are also faint in the radio waveband, where F
6GHz = 4.5 μJy for ASXDF1100.053.1 and F
1.4GHz = 28 μJy for ASXDF1100.231.1, suggestive of

and

for ASXDF1100.053.1 and 231.1, respectively. ASXDF1100.231.1 has a flux excess in the 3.6 μm filter, probably due to Hα emission at z = 4–5. Derived properties of ASXDF1100.053.1 for z = 5.5–7.5 and 231.1 for z = 3.5–5.5 are as follows: their infrared luminosities are [6.5 − 7.4] × 1012 and [4.2–4.5] × 1012
L
⊙; their stellar masses are [0.9–2] × 1011 and [0.4–3] × 1010
M
⊙; their circularized half-light radii in the ALMA maps are ∼1 and ≲0.2 kpc (∼2–3 kpc for 90% of the total flux). Last, their surface infrared luminosity densities, ΣIR, are ∼1 × 1012 and ≳1.5 × 1013
L
⊙ kpc−2, similar to values seen for local (U)LIRGs. These data suggest that ASXDF1100.053.1 and 231.1 are compact SMGs at z ≳ 4 and can plausibly evolve into z ≳ 3 compact quiescent galaxies.

BACKGROUND: The abnormal conditions of life and genetic factors often play a major role in the incidence of "diabetes - diabetes", heart disease and vascular disease, jaundice and posttraumatic stress.AIM: Trauma and posttraumatic stress are most common in the displaced persons, and the focus of this paper is to focus on this issue regarding cases in former Yugoslavia, and now in our country. These diseases are caused by increased beta-cell sensitivity to viruses, the development of autoimmune antibodies attacking their pancreas cells, degenerative changes in cells that result in the change of structure and of insulin production.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this paper, we have taken into account the traumatic events and long-term psychosocial consequences for internally displaced persons, several years after displacement, and found a high level of PTSD symptoms.RESULTS: This stress is present in almost 1/3 of internally displaced persons, and every sixth person has suffered from PTSD in the past. Respondents suffer from symptoms of intrusion, but there was a large number of symptoms, such as avoidance and increased arousal. We also found that gender, age and education are related to the symptoms.CONCLUSION: Females, and older respondents and internally displaced persons with lower levels of education show a higher level of PTSD symptoms.

Пусть $\Gamma$ - арифметическая группа аффинных автоморфизмов $n$-мерной трубы будущего $\mathcal{T}$. В работе доказывается, что факторпространство $\mathcal{T}/\Gamma$ гладко в бесконечности тогда и только тогда, когда группа $\Gamma$ порождается отражениями и фундаментальный многогранный конус («камера Вейля») группы $d\Gamma$ в конусе будущего является симплициальным конусом (что возможно только при $n\le 10$). Следствием этого результата является критерий гладкости компактификации Сатаке-Бейли-Бореля арифметического фактора симметрической области типа IV.
El uso de contraseñas para introducir los conceptos de conjunto generador y espacio generado
Authors: Cárcamo Andrea
Published: February 2017

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una propuesta de enseñanza para álgebra lineal fundamentada en la heurística de los modelos emergentes y la modelización matemática. Ésta comienza con una situación problemática relacionada con el uso de contraseñas seguras, la que introduce a los estudiantes de primer año de ingeniería en la construcción de los conceptos de conjunto generador y espacio generado. La propuesta se diseña a partir de los resultados de los dos primeros ciclos de experimentación de enseñanza, de una investigación basada en el diseño, que dan evidencias que permite a los estudiantes progresar de una situación en contexto real hacia los conceptos de álgebra lineal. Esta propuesta, previamente adaptada, podría tener resultados similares al aplicarse con otro grupo de estudiantes.
Comparative Study of 0.1% Olopatadine vs 0.05% Cyclosporine in Patients of Recalcitrant Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis
Authors: Gupta Pranav , Goyal Etti , Devendra Jaya
Published: February 2017

Introduction

Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic, recurrent, bilateral inflammatory disease showing exacerbations during the spring and summer seasons, affecting young children. Present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the efficacy of cyclosporine 0.05% with olopatadine 0.1% in recalcitrant patients of VKC.

Materials and methods

A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed on 40 eyes (20 patients of recalcitrant VKC) during the period of May 2015 to September 2015. A short course of mild steroid was given for 5 days to all patients as they presented with acute exacerbation of recalcitrant VKC.

Left eye of each patient received topical cyclosporine 0.05%, which is a nonsteroidal immunomodulator, twice daily, and right eye of the same patient received olopatadine 0.1%, which has a dual action, i.e., mast cell stabilizer action as well as antihistaminic activity, twice daily for a period of 3 months. Grading of signs and symptoms was done at the time of presentation and at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months interval.

Results

When compared with baseline, scores for signs and symptoms at 2 weeks reduced significantly for both cyclosporine and olopatadine. However, at 3 months, scores as regards signs and symptoms were found to be lower in cyclosporine as compared with olopatadine eyes.

Conclusion

Cyclosporine 0.05% was found to be equally effective in treating signs and symptoms as olopatadine in the early phase of the treatment. But, a significant improvement was noted in cyclosporine eyes as compared with olopatadine eyes in the late period.
