Authors: Julius Jennifer K , Fernandez Courtney K , Grafa Amy C , Rosa Paige MC , Hartos Jessica L
Published: July 2019

Objectives:

Fruit and vegetable consumption may impact development of diabetes, but limited research has addressed whether daily consumption of fruits and vegetables differs by those with and without diabetes, especially within high-risk groups. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether daily fruit and vegetable consumption differs by diabetes status in middle-aged females in the general US population.

Methods:

This cross-sectional analysis used 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data for females ages 45–64 years old in Arizona (n = 2609), Florida (n = 3768), Georgia (n = 1018), and Texas (n = 2092). Multiple logistic regression analysis by state assessed the relationship between the daily consumption of fruit (fruit, 100% fruit juice) and vegetables (green leafy or lettuce salad, potatoes, other vegetables) and diabetes status, while controlling for health status, health behaviors, demographic factors, and socioeconomic status.

Results:

Across states, relatively similar proportions of participants with and without diabetes reported daily fruit consumption (with: 58%–63%; without: 61%–68%) and daily vegetable consumption (with: 58%–63%; without: 61%–68%). The results of adjusted analyses indicated that daily fruit and vegetable consumption did not differ by diabetes status across states.

Conclusion:

Across states, daily fruit and vegetable consumption did not differ by diabetes status in middle-aged females. In the primary care setting, providers should educate all females ages 45–64 on the importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables and may consider sharing information about flavonoid-rich fruit and vegetable consumption for diabetes.
Elder Orphans’ Experiences of Advance Planning and Informal Support Network
Authors: Thaggard Sandra , Montayre Jed
Published: July 2019

Literature reviews on elder orphans recommended the need of an in-depth exploration of health care and social issues from their actual experiences. This article explores the experiences of elder orphans living independently in the community on their own with no immediate or close family support. The study utilized a qualitative descriptive approach through face-to-face interviews. Two main themes emerged from the data. The first theme was “advance plans” with the subthemes (a) my to-do list and (b) the right timing. The second theme identified was “informal support network” with the subthemes (a) family is right here and (b) familiarized support system. These findings offered insights on how existing informal networks influence elder orphans’ consideration for advance directives in terms of timing. Moreover, the findings have identified the extent of which informal support network has been received by elder orphans. Currently, the support threshold of these informal networks is unknown, which warrants further research.
Right to Education Act: Universalisation or Entrenched Exclusion?
Authors: Kumar Abhay , Shukla Sudheer Kumar , Panmei Mary , Narayan Vir
Published: July 2019

Right to Education (RTE) Act is intended to provide free and compulsory elementary education to all children aged 6–14 years. This article examines key constituents of elementary education in view of the RTE Act such as current attendance rate, types of institutions, medium of instruction, neighbourhood schools, Monthly per capita expenditure on elementary education (MPCEE)and incentives during pre- and post-RTE period using National Sample Survey Organisation’s 64th (2007–2008) and 71st (2014) round of unit level data. The result shows that far from the universalisation, exclusion is getting entrenched across gender, sector, and socio-religious and economic groups. Female children, children from deprived socio-religious groups, rural areas and from the bottom MPCE quintile have not only fared lower in most of the studied parameters during the pre-RTE period, but the gap from their counterpart has widened immensely during the post-RTE period. Free education has declined and monthly per capita expenditure on elementary education has increased sharply. Children are moving out of the government to private schools. The findings raise serious questions on the intention of the government to fulfil its mandate under RTE.
Changing Political Preferences Among Dalits in Uttar Pradesh in the 2000s: Shift from Social Justice to Aspiration
Authors: Pai Sudha
Published: July 2019

During the 2000s, political preferences among Dalits in Uttar Pradesh (UP) have undergone significant transformation. The decade has witnessed weakening of identity politics and simultaneously revival of the BJP. Against this backdrop, the article argues that Dalit politics in UP has entered a phase marked by internal fragmentation, uncertainty and a more complex character. Two rapid shifts are visible in their political preferences: from the BSP towards the BJP in the 2014 elections; second, from late 2015, violent protests by Dalits signalling their anger and disillusionment with the BJP. Two developments are responsible for these swift changes: rising economic aspirations among Dalits, a new all-India consciousness and leaders, impacted by the twin forces of globalisation and cultural modernisation. Second, the revival of the BJP under a new leadership that deftly wove together a strategy of promise of social inclusion and rapid economic development, which attracted Dalits, but which the BJP has failed to fulfil. The article points to unravelling of this new social coalition and concludes that the mere politics of symbolism may not help BJP obtain Dalit support in the 2019 elections.
An urban big data-based air quality index prediction: A case study of routes planning for outdoor activities in Beijing
Authors: Zou Zhiqiang , Cai Tao , Cao Kai
Published: July 2019

Urban big data include various types of datasets, such as air quality data, meteorological data, and weather forecast data. Air quality index is broadly used in many countries as an indicator to measure the air pollution status. This indicator has a great impact on outdoor activities of urban residents, such as long-distance cycling, running, jogging, and walking. However, for routes planning for outdoor activities, there is still a lack of comprehensive consideration of air quality. In this paper, an air quality index prediction model (namely airQP-DNN) and its application are proposed to address the issue. This paper primarily consists of two components. The first component is to predict the future air quality index based on a deep neural network, using historical air quality datasets, current meteorological datasets, and weather forecasting datasets. The second component refers to a case study of outdoor activities routes planning in Beijing, which can help plan the routes for outdoor activities based on the airQP-DNN model, and allow users to enter the origin and destination of the route for the optimized path with the minimum accumulated air quality index. The air quality monitoring datasets of Beijing and surrounding cities from April 2014 to April 2015 (over 758,000 records) are used to verify the proposed airQP-DNN model. The experimental results explicitly demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms other commonly used methods in terms of prediction accuracy, including autoregressive integrated moving average model, gradient boosted decision tree, and long short-term memory. Based on the airQP-DNN model, the case study of outdoor activities routes planning is implemented. When the origin and destination are specified, the optimized paths with the minimum accumulated air quality index would be provided, instead of the standard static Dijkstra shortest path. In addition, a Web-GIS-based prototype has also been successfully developed to support the implementation of our proposed model in this research. The success of our study not only demonstrates the value of the proposed airQP-DNN model, but also shows the potential of our model in other possible extended applications.
The Role of Faith (Spirituality/Religion) in Resilience in Sub-Saharan African Children
Authors: Mhaka-Mutepfa Magen , Maundeni Tapologo
Published: July 2019

Children living in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries face a plethora of challenges that require adaptation and resilience for them to develop typically. The experiences of epidemics, armed conflicts, and many other man-made and natural disasters create abject poverty and psychological issues: the vulnerable children become orphans and/or refugees in addition to premature deaths because they lack safety nets. This article explores the role of faith (i.e., religion or spirituality) as a source of resilience with regard to chronic stressful life events experienced by children. There is need to establish the role of faith in children's lives because of the different types of adverse events that impact child development. African countries are inundated by many hazards that impact children more than any other age group and this trend requires urgent intervention by all stakeholders. At research level, there is need to conduct studies that explore, over prolonged periods of time, the processes and role of spirituality/religion (S/R) in facilitating or inhibiting children's adjustment to traumatic experiences. Additionally, at policy level, there is need for governments in SSA to implement policies, intervene and protect children; in addition to encouraging collaboration among the religious fraternity, traditional leaders, and other stakeholders to make the world a better place for children.

Immune evasion is a hallmark of cancer and a central mechanism underlying acquired resistance to immune therapy. In allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), late relapses can arise after prolonged alloreactive T-cell control, but the molecular mechanisms of immune escape remain unclear. To identify mechanisms of immune evasion, we performed a genetic analysis of serial samples from 25 patients with myeloid malignancies who relapsed ≥1 year after alloHCT. Using targeted sequencing and microarray analysis to determine HLA allele-specific copy number, we identified copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity events and focal deletions spanning class 1 HLA genes in 2 of 12 recipients of matched unrelated-donor HCT and in 1 of 4 recipients of mismatched unrelated-donor HCT. Relapsed clones, although highly related to their antecedent pretransplantation malignancies, frequently acquired additional mutations in transcription factors and mitogenic signaling genes. Previously, the study of relapse after haploidentical HCT established the paradigm of immune evasion via loss of mismatched HLA. Here, in the context of matched unrelated-donor HCT, HLA loss provides genetic evidence that allogeneic immune recognition may be mediated by minor histocompatibility antigens and suggests opportunities for novel immunologic approaches for relapse prevention.

Divine Revelation as Propositional
Authors: Wellington Ryan A
Published: July 2019

In this paper I argue that the propositional model of Divine revelation deserves renewed attention due to both (i) criticisms stemming from misunderstanding and (ii) recent arguments in favor of the propositional model. I begin by clarifying what I mean by the propositional model of Divine revelation and by pointing out misunderstandings of the implications of this model. Subsequently, I offer a few arguments in favor of the propositional model of Divine revelation based on three assumptions that I take to be basic elements of Christianity. Finally, I explain why I think the propositional model is doctrinally significant for the Christian Faith.
Agency, resistance and the non-‘ideal’ victim: how women deal with sexual violence
Authors: Roberts Nicola , Donovan Catherine , Durey Matthew
Published: July 2019

Many undergraduate students in the UK fall into age groups particularly at risk from interpersonal violence. Recent evidence suggests that a range of interpersonal violence is part of the university experience for a significant number of students. In this article, we report on the findings of an online survey of male and female students administered at a university in the north of England in 2016 exploring experiences of interpersonal violence during their time as a student. Focusing on the qualitative responses, 75 respondents, mostly women, wrote about their experiences of sexual violence. In presenting women’s accounts, we challenge the construction of the ‘ideal victim’ who is viewed as weak, passive and without agency or culpability (Christie, 1986). Women adopt a range of strategies to actively resist men’s sexual violence. In doing so, they challenge and problematise perpetrators’ behaviours particularly tropes that communicate and forefront the heterosexual dating model of courtship. These findings raise implications for women’s strategies of resistance to be viewed as examples of social change where victim-blaming is challenged, perpetrator-blaming is promoted and femininity/victims are reconstructed as agentic. Universities must educate students about sexual violence, dating and intimacy, as well as provide support for victims of sexual violence.
Motivasi Penerjemahan Buku Berbahasa Arab
Authors: Munip Abdul
Published: July 2019

The translation of Arabic books in Indonesia can’t be separated from some motives. At least, there are five motives of the translation, i.e. religious, educational, economic, ideological, and prevocational motives. Religious motive can be seen in the translator’s statements that his/her works are aimed to get a blessing from Allah. Educational motive can be seen in the fact that these works are aimed to give Islamic knowledge to the muslim community. Economical advantages are the most powerful motivations that publishers try to get by publishing Arabic translations books. In another hand, the ideological motive is one of the factors that the translators or publishers want to propagate their Islamic ideological among Indonesian Muslim community by mean of their translation works. Prevocational motive can be seen in translator intention to stimulate critical Islamic discourse in Indonesia by mean of translating Arabic books written by some Middle East critical writers.

Language is the main characteristic that distinguishes humans from other creatures, with that language interacting and communicating. One theory of language acquisition and learning regarding language as a human trait is the generative transformative theory Noam Chomsky states that language is the innate potential possessed by humans from birth. Based on the theory, this study aims to analyze the innate potential of human language as a reference in the development of Arabic language learning, taking into account the innate potential of the language that is already possessed by students. It is expected that the potential of the language can be utilized and developed optimally in the process of learning Arabic. his study uses descriptive analysis method, and the conclusions obtained based on this research are curriculum design in Arabic language learning based on Chomsky Innate theory, namely students do not have to be given intensive training, students are given a broad opportunity to create speeches, the rules are given as long as it is needed, students are deployed to real situations in the communication process.

Published: July 2019

The outcrop of the Ecca Group in the Eastern Cape Province was investigated in order to reveal petrographic and geophysical characteristics of the formations that make up the group which are vital information when considering fracking of the Karoo for shale gas. The petrographic study reveals that the rocks of the Ecca Group are both argillaceous and arenaceous rock with quartz, feldspar, micas and lithics as the framework minerals. The sandstones are graywackes, immature and poorly sorted, thus giving an indication that the source area is near. The observed heavy minerals aswell as the lithic grains signify that the minerals are of granitic, volcanic and metamorphic origin. The porosity result shows that of all the formations that make up the Ecca Group, the Whitehill Formation is the most porous with an average porosity of about 2.1% and also least dense with an average dry density of about 2.5 g/cm3. The least porous unit is the Ripon Formation with porosity of about 0.8% but has the highest dry density of approximately 2.8 g/cm3. The magnetic map shows some ring-like structures which coincide with dolerites that were mapped in the field. As revealed by the depth slices result, dolerite intrusions are pervasive in the northern part of the study area, extending to a depth of about 6000 m below the ground surface. The appearance of dolerite intrusions at the targeted depth (3000 - 5000 m) for gas exploration could pose a serious threat to fracking of the Karoo for shale gas.

Published: July 2019

In this study, Artificial intelligence method was used as a new approach in modelling and optimization of printing toners with appropriate requirements. Toner fine powder is made up of resin, colorant and additives. This composite has been utilized in electrophotographic digital printing. The optimization approach has been considered for optimizing of toner production process and to produce printing toners with an appropriate physical and color properties (particle size (PS), particle size distribution (PSD), L*, a*, b*) by an environmental friendly method which is emulsion aggregation (EA). The EA is a green technology that provides many advantages for toner production pathway and lead to high quality product and printing. The effect of heating rate (R), time of mixing (T), and mixing rate (S) on PS, PSD, and L*, a*, b* has been studied. An in-home code was established to optimize the architecture of artificial neural network (ANN) with two hidden layers, by which an accurate model was developed for the prediction of toner properties. The best process conditions with acceptable characteristics of manufacturing toners was obtained by multi-objective optimization in specified amounts of heating rate, mixing time, and mixing rate

Published: July 2019

A study of tylosis in European Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) shows correspondences in the formation of tyloses and of regular cell walls. The outer tylosis wall has a smooth, granular surface with simple perforations analogous to that of the primary wall of ordinary cells. The underlying wall stratum shows parallel oriented macro-fibrils, normally found in the secondary walls of regular cells. At the contact areas of tyloses, stabilizing seams can be observed. Various types of wall openings such as simple pits, blind pits and vestured pits were present. Also tylosis division was detected. The characteristics of parenchyma cell walls can be re-discovered in tyloses.
Patagonian bats: new size limits, southernmost localities and updated distribution for Lasiurus villosissimus and Myotis dinellii (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
Authors: Giménez Analía Laura , Schiaffini Mauro Ignacio
Published: July 2019

Vespertilionid species are widely distributed in South America. They are highly diverse, with physiological and behavioral adaptations which allow them to extend their distributions into temperate areas. In Patagonia, this family is represented by seven species in three genera (Histiotus, Lasiurus and Myotis). In this study, we analyzed the distribution of two vespertilionid species, Lasiurus villosissimus and Myotis dinellii, including new southernmost records, and their relationship with environmental variables. Two different spatial scales were analyzed: a continental approach for species distribution analyses (South America), and local trapping of bats in northwestern Chubut province, Argentina. We present new southern limits for L. villosissimus and M. dinellii, and included new records for Patagonian bats. The big hoary bat L. villosissimus was recorded as the largest bat inhabiting Patagonia, relating it as a bat mainly inhabiting low, humid and temperate/warm areas. The little yellow bat M. dinellii, instead, is the smallest mammal and the smallest bat recorded in Patagonia to date, related mainly with dry, mid-altitude and temperate/warm areas.
Plasmonic near-field scanning nanoscope with a cross-polarization detection technique
Authors: Shim Hyeon Bo , Hahn Jae W.
Published: July 2019

A cross-polarization detection technique was introduced to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a plasmonic near-field scanning nanoscope (PNSN) using the anisotropic reflection from a metallic ridge nano-aperture. Assuming that the nano-aperture is an resistor-inductor-capacitor-equivalent circuit, we propose an analytic circuit model to quantitatively predict the relationship between the copolarization and cross-polarization signals of the PNSN. It was found that the magnitude of the cross-polarization signal has an opposite trend with respect to the copolarization signal, providing a larger PNSN signal. We demonstrated the PNSN with dual channels for detecting both polarization signals. The performance of the PNSN was characterized by recording images of heterogeneous nanostructures in dynamic random access memory patterns and we enhanced the SNR of the images by a factor of 2.7–4.9.
The Effect of Armed Conflict on Savings Rates: International Evidence from 1980 to 2015

Economic growth theory highlights the importance of saving rates to explain the long-run economic performance of economies. While economic theory has provided an analytical and empirical framework to understand the determinants of saving rates, one of the limitations is that it excludes from the analysis the potential effects of armed conflict and political instability, although it has been demonstrated that such situations can affect intertemporal preferences in terms of consumption and saving. Using a sample of 55 countries with/without conflict from 1980 to 2015, we analyze whether aggregate savings rates are negatively correlated with the existence, intensity, and duration of an armed conflict. The results indicate that countries that have suffered some type of conflict exhibit a saving rate 2.7% lower on average than the rate exhibited by countries that have not suffered such conflict. Additionally, if there is a high-intensity conflict, the saving rates decreases 2.5% more relative to countries that experience low-intensity conflict. Finally, we found a nonlinear relationship between saving rates and conflict duration, suggesting that the impact of conflict on savings decreases with time. These results extend the literature on the effects of armed conflicts on the long-run economic growth.
Cellular and Network Mechanisms May Generate Sparse Coding of Sequential Object Encounters in Hippocampal-Like Circuits

The localization of distinct landmarks plays a crucial role in encoding new spatial memories. In mammals, this function is performed by hippocampal neurons that sparsely encode an animal’s location relative to surrounding objects. Similarly, the dorsolateral pallium (DL) is essential for spatial learning in teleost fish. The DL of weakly electric gymnotiform fish receives both electrosensory and visual input from the preglomerular nucleus (PG), which has been hypothesized to encode the temporal sequence of electrosensory or visual landmark/food encounters. Here, we show that DL neurons in theApteronotidfish and in theCarassius auratus(goldfish) have a hyperpolarized resting membrane potential (RMP) combined with a high and dynamic spike threshold that increases following each spike. Current-evoked spikes in DL cells are followed by a strong small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel (SK)-mediated after-hyperpolarizing potential (AHP). Together, these properties prevent high frequency and continuous spiking. The resulting sparseness of discharge and dynamic threshold suggest that DL neurons meet theoretical requirements for generating spatial memory engrams by decoding the landmark/food encounter sequences encoded by PG neurons. Thus, DL neurons in teleost fish may provide a promising, simple system to study the core cell and network mechanisms underlying spatial memory.

Published: July 2019

Endodontik
tedavi görmüş ve kuron harabiyeti fazla olan dişlerin restorasyonunda
uygulanacak tedavi ile ilgili bir fikir birliğine hala varılamamıştır. Geleneksel
yöntemde bu dişlerin tedavisi kanal içi post üzerine uygulanan tam kuron
restorasyonları ile yapılmaktadır. Fakat bu tedavi esnasında sağlam dokuların
da kaldırılması sebebiyle geriye kalan diş dokusunun biyomekanik özellikleri
değişmekte ve güçsüzleşmektedir. Adeziv sistemlerin gelişmesine parelel olarak bu
vakalarda yeni tedavi alternatifleri uygulanmaktadır. Endokuron restorasyonlar
aşırı madde kaybına sahip endodontik tedavi görmüş dişlerin tedavisinde,
post-kuron restorasyonlara alternatif olarak kullanılan yeni bir tedavi
seçeneğidir. Endokuron restorasyonlar tek parça olarak üretilmektedir. Bu
restorasyonlar pulpa odasından ve kavite duvarlarından destek aldığı için
makromekanik tutuculuk sağlarken, adeziv sistem ile simante edilmesi sayesinde
mikromekanik tutuculuk da elde edilmektedir. Endokuron restorasyonların
uygulamasının basit, seans sayılarının az, preparasyon sırasında sağlam diş
dokusunun daha az kaldırılması, kısa kanallı, kalsifiye, tıkalı ve kökleri eğri
olan dişlerde uygulanabilmesi, kökte perforasyon ve kırık oluşturma riskinin
bulunmaması ve oklüzal mesafenin az olduğu hastalarda uygulanabilmesi gibi pek
çok avantajı bulunmaktadır. Endokuron restorasyonlar ile yapılmış literatürde
az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Bu derlemenin amacı yakın bir geçmişten itibaren
kullanılan endokuron restorasyonların tarihçesini, sınıflamasını, avantajlarını
ayrıntılı bir biçimde inceleyerek konuyla ilgili yapılan in vivo ve in vitro
çalışmaları değerlendirmektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: Endokuron;

Authors: ALAN RAİF , ÇELEBİ HAKKI
Published: July 2019

Background: Health-related quality of life is significantly
influenced by oral health of individuals. This study aimed to compare patient satisfaction
and oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) among patients using complete
dentures (CDs) and partial dentures (PDs).Methods: The study was carried out between October 2014
and February 2017 on patients who received CD and PD treatment in the … (name was deleted for blinded peer review)
University Faculty of Dentistry. The quality of life of the patients was
assessed using a questionnaire including the Oral Health Impact Profile
(OHIP-14). The patients were divided into the following groups according to
their prosthesis type and location: 1) Group I: CDmax-mand, 2) Group
II: CDmax-PDmand, 3) Group III: PDmax-CDmand
and 4) Group IV: PDmax-mand. Sociodemographic datas, prosthesis age,
and effects of prosthetic location on the OHRQoL were also examined.Results: Statistical analyses showed that age, gender,
educational status and duration of prosthesis usage did not have an impact on
the OHIP-14 scores of patients (p>0,05). Physical pain scores of patients in
Group I and Group III were significantly higher than those of patients in Group
IV (p<0.05). In addition, patients in Group III were found to have higher
scores for social handicap compared with patients in Group II and, patients in
Group I and Group III have also higher scores than those of patients in Group
IV (p<0.05).Conclusions: Prosthetic rehabilitation with CD and PD has an
important impact on improving the OHRQoL of patients. The OHRQoL can be further
improved with regular dental control and/or the need to replacement of
prosthesis at regular intervals.Keywords: Dentures, Patient satisfaction, Oral health,

Anterior dişlerde görülen renk, şekil ve konum
bozuklukları gibi estetik sorunların tedavisinde kullanılan protetik yöntemler
esnasında fazla miktarda diş kesimi yapılması, özellikle genç bireylerde
psikolojik sorunlar yaratmakta ve bu işlemler dişeti ve çevre dokularda
harabiyet oluşturmaktadır. Bu tür dişlerin tedavisinde kuronlara alternatif
olarak çeşitli teknikler ve materyaller kullanılmasına rağmen, daha çok
konservatif yöntemler üzerinde durulmaktadır. Günümüzde kompozit rezin
materyallerin ve dentin adeziv sistemlerin gelişmesine paralel olarak direkt
kompozit restorasyonların endikasyon alanları genişlemiştir. Bu tür uygulamalar;
minimal preparasyon gerektiren küçük mine defektleri ve diastemaların
restorasyonunda, kırık dişlerin tamiri, mine hipoplazileri ve renklenmelerin
tedavisinde tercih edilmektedir.

Bu klinik olgu sunumu; maksiller anterior dişlerinde
şekil ve konum bozukluğu görülen 4 ayrı hastanın direkt kompozit rezin
tekniğiyle tedavisini anlatmaktadır. Direkt kompozit rezin restorasyonların
kullanılması kısa sürede tatmin edici estetik sonuçlar verebilmektedir.
