Published: August 2018

Remote sensing offers fast, cheap and reliable method in detecting river and coastal changes. In this study, satellite imageries of Morong river and coastlines from 2006 to 2016 were collected and analyzed to monitor changes. Field measurements were also done using South Total Station (NTS-362R6L) in 2016 for comparison and validation of data. Results showed that the river outlet and the riverbank increased in width size due to erosion brought about by torrential rains and urban run-offs. Coastlines near the river narrowed in size or shifted landward due to coastal erosion and sea level rise. An interview was conducted to locals residing nearby the river and coast where strong typhoons were reported which cause geophysical changes in the area. The residents also observed sea level rise, coastal and river erosion which caused narrowing of the coastlines and widening of the river, respectively. Records of high tides and low tides collected were projected in annual average levels per month. The average level of low tides increased per year which can be a result of sea level rise. The computed RMSE between field and remote sensing measurements ranged from 0.1m to 0.67m which indicated positional accuracy of Google Earth in the area.
Satellite-based study of physico-optical properties of aerosols over a westernmost location of Brahmaputra valley
Authors: Biswas Jhuma
Published: August 2018

This study examines the long term trend of the radiatively active atmospheric aerosols which can influence the Earth’s energy budget directly by scattering and absorbing radiation and indirectly by acting as cloud condensation nuclei. MODIS sensor on board the NASA Earth Observing System Terra and Aqua satellite based Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data are used for long term analysis of aerosols over Bongaigaon, Assam for the period August, 2002 to March, 2017. Highest AOD values are observed in pre-monsoon (March-May) season due to long range transportation as well as intense biomass burning activities especially as a part of Jhum cultivation. In general, AOD values are low in post-monsoon (October-November) season which may be due to wash out of aerosols by rain in the preceding months without enough replacement. The monthly AOD values vary from its highest value 0.949 in April, 2016 to its lowest value 0.107 in November, 2002 for the study period. From the comparison of MODIS Terra and Aqua AOD at 550 nm, it is clearly seen that generally Terra AOD at 10:30 hr is higher than the Aqua AOD at 13:30hr. A slowly increasing trend of both Aqua and Terra AOD at 550 nm is observed over the study location. The observed Ångström exponent value varies from its minimum value in monsoon season to its maximum value in winter season. With increasing AOD values, horizontal visibility decreases over Bongaigaon.

Authors: Sambursky G.A. , Pogorely A.M.
Published: August 2018

One of the indicators of the normalization of sewage quality for discharge into Lake Baikal is absorbed organic chlorine (AOC). The area of possible application of his indicator in conditions of its standardization level is defined. It was shown that this parameter was included in the rationing of wastewater specifically for the determination of organochlorine compounds in the wastewater of Baikal PPM. It was noted that the requirements for determining the AOC indicator for wastewater discharge are normalized at a very low level of determination. Methods for performing AOX measurements have been considered, and concentration levels have been proposed for the determination of chlorine-containing compounds formed precisely in the result of disinfection of sewage by chlorination.

Subject. Removable dentures have a negative impact on supporting tissues, biochemical parameters and composition of the microflora of the oral cavity, secretory activity of the salivary glands and other processes of the maxillofacial region and the body as a whole. One of the methods that can be used in the treatment and prevention of prosthetic stomatitis is balneotherapy. In the article, using the clinical, biochemical, microbiological and histological methods, the effectiveness of the use of mineral water "Fateevskaya" in patients using removable orthopedic structures was studied. Objectives of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of procedures for small balneotherapy with the use of mineral water "Fateevskaya" in patients with removable dentures. Methods.We examined 158 elderly and senile age patients with removable dentures. Correction of removable dentures was carried out to all patients at the initial stage. All examined patients are divided into two groups. The group received the treatment with the low balneotherapy with “Fateevskaya” mineral water (78 patients, and the clinical control group (80 patients). The clinical condition of oral cavity was assessed before and after the course of low balneotherapy. Were researched: changes of mucous membrane of prosthetic bed, salivation rates, disturbance of salivary secretion, oral microbiocenosis. Results.Of the research showed that in both groups were increase of pH value, appears lower values of total protein and glucose, decrease in activity of some enzymes. This explanation is due to a decrease in the stress response to using the removable dentures, normalization of salivary glands functioning, decrease in the intensity of the phlogiston process. The results of a histological research also confirm this. The results of microbiological crops before and after the low balneotherapy indicate the oral biocenosis normalization. The positive changes in the researched parameters had significantly larger statistically valid values in the group received the treatment with the low balneotherapy with “Fateevskaya” mineral water. The results of the complex research allow us to recommend the “Fateevskaya” mineral water to low balneotherapy in dental practice.

The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of treatment of chronic gingivitis in patients with chronic gastroduodenitis with the use of the proposed method.

Methodology. The subject of the study was 155 persons aged 19 to 25 years with diagnosed chronic gingivitis and chronic gastroduodenitis, which were divided by stratified randomization into three groups: 1 group (primary) - 52 patients; 2 group (positive control) - 52 patients; Group 3 (negative control) - 51 patients. All groups were comparable in age (F = 2,355, p = 0,092) and sex (χ2 = 2,133, p = 0,334).

To study the state of free radical oxidation, the method of chemiluminescence (CL) of the oral liquid was applied on the device HL-003. The quantitative and qualitative content of oral microflora was determined using nutrient media: CHROMagar Orientation, CHROMagar Candida (France). The concentration in the oral fluid of the intercellular adhesion molecules sICAM-1 was carried out on the automatic enzyme immunoassay analyzer Lazurit and test systems manufactured by Vector-Best CJSC (Russia) and eBioscience (Austria).

Results. The use of the complex proposed by us significantly improved the parameters of the clinical examination (dental indices). In addition, the state of free-radical oxidation has normalized: at previously increased values of the light-emission sum (S) and its maximum value (I max), during the time of the study, their decrease occurred, while the lowered values - the increase to the level of normal values. The level of microorganisms of the orange and red complex decreased to normal levels, and the level of sICAM-1 also significantly decreased.

Conclusions. The scheme of treatment of chronic gingivitis with the use of NUTRIEL with laminaria and tooth elixir with chlorophyll in patients with chronic gastroduodenitis led to an increase in the duration of remission compared with the traditional treatment regimen.

Object. Catarrhal gingivitis treatment of patients was accompanied by marginal gingiva cytological examination. The number of epithelial and connective tissue cells was calculated. Then, their cytomorphometry was held with both: the definition of morphological classes of cell destruction and measurements of their functional morphology in the average cell destruction (ACD), cell cytolysis index (CCI), cell destruction index (CDI). Purpose. To conduct the cytomorphometry of periodontal tissue cells before treatment and during the treatment of patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis. Methodology. The prevalence of the inflammatory process in the gingiva was estimated with the help of periodontal PMA index and the gingival sulcus bleeding index (sbi) by Miihlemann and Son. The Green-Vermillion hygienic index was determined. For cytological examination, the material was collected by cytochrome on fat-free surface of glass in the form of a single scrape from the marginal gingiva inflammation site. The place of sampling was not changed throughout the study. The resulting material was fixed on the glass and transferred to the cytological laboratory. Then the material was examined with a microscope in five fields of view under magnification. Result statistical processing was carried out in Statistika 6.0 programme. Results. In cytogram study for patients with healthy periodontium there were noted in a small number: lymphocytes (36±14), monocytes (6±1,87), plasmocytes (4±1,87), macrophages (1±1), neutrophils 96±29,89; for patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis: lymphocytes 4150±108.1, neutrophils 1150±356,8, plasmocytes 60±16,6, macrophages 48,3±6,35, monocytes 21,6±2,5. Lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils reflect the change in clinical observation most clearly, as their number decreased to 14.5%, 12.8% and 7.32%, respectively within 14 days. Summary. Cytomorphometry of marginal gingiva cells was performed in the process of catarrhal gingivitis treatment. This method is informative for evaluation of periodontal tissues inflammatory process. It can be used for rapid diagnosis of periodontal disease, determining the effectiveness of treatment, prognosis of exacerbation. It is worth noting that the method is cheap and easily accessible.

Subject. In this article, the problem of integrating the repaid teeth has been studied. Data on the fibroosteointegration of the replanted teeth were obtained on the basis of clinical and additional research methods.

Goal. To study the features of the regeneration of bone tissue in the periapical zone of the implantable teeth.

Methodology. The patient, C., 41, complained of a partial absence of teeth. As a result of examination of the mouth and analysis of the orthopantomogram, significant destruction of the crown part of the teeth of the upper and lower jaws was revealed. Based on the data obtained, a decision was made to remove them with subsequent replantation. Three months after the implantation, an orthopantomogram was performed. According to the data of roentgenography, uniform filling of the root canal with cement along the entire length was revealed, trabecular bone tissue in the region of the tips of the roots of the resplanted teeth is consistent. With the support of the implantable teeth, non-removable cermet structures were installed. Later, prosthetics was performed with removable orthopedic prostheses.

Results. After 2 years as a result of a follow-up examination, there was no pathological mobility in the resplanted teeth, the patient did not present any complaints. On intraoral virological images of the teeth 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 3.4, the trabecular bone tissue in the projection of the apex of the roots is consistent, the inflammatory foci are not revealed. On the whole surface of the roots of the teeth 1.1-1.3 periodontal space can be traced throughout the root. Bone tissue in the region of the roots of these teeth without pathology. This observation may allow us to make an assumption about fibroosteointegration of these teeth.

Conclusions. Based on the results of the treatment and analysis of X-ray data from two-year follow-up, we found no abnormal mobility in the resplanted teeth, bone tissue in the apex of these teeth is well-founded, orthopedic structures supported by the resplanted teeth are stable.

Aportes para una conducción colaborativa del proceso civil chileno: pensando una nueva justicia
Authors: Aguirrezabal Grünstein Maite , Pérez Ragone Álvaro
Published: August 2018

La cultura jurídico-procesal comparada contemporánea comienza a ser consistente en cuanto a la necesidad de un juez cercano y empático en su relación con las partes y sus representantes, lo que requiere una transformación de paradigmas. La instauración del proceso por audiencias, con la mejora de todas las condiciones orgánicas y financieras del sistema de administración de justicia civil, no parece ser suficiente; se requiere además fijar nuevos roles al juez y a las partes. Por el lado del juez, se impone una visión en la que este asume un rol activo, de gerente y conductor. De esta forma se verifica una simbiosis entre los sistemas adversarial e inquisitorio. Por el lado de las partes, la competencia entre estas por obtener un resultado positivo se matiza y equilibra con la cooperación. Todo el engranaje impone conductas de trato equitativo y debido y justo proceso como valores internos. Estas son condiciones necesarias para un proceso civil eficaz, racional, justo y eficiente.

Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase enzyme immunoreactivity in the stomach tissue of rats fed with mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
Authors: MURATLI Aslı , GEZEN Mehmet Rıza
Published: August 2018

Objectives: Mussels accumulate heavy metals in their tissues.
Although there are few data about the toxicity of seafood that is exposed to
environmental pollution, there are no animal studies about the gastric toxicity
of mussels grown in the Dardanelles. The antioxidant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase
(Cu/Zn SOD) enzyme catalyzes the hydrogen peroxide dismutation of superoxide
radicals and removes the effects of free radicals which cause oxidative stress.
The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the Cu/Zn SOD in the stomach
tissues of rats which are fed with mussels that are collected from the Çamburnu
region of the Dardanelles. Methods: A total of 24 male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into four
groups: Group 1 (n = 6), control group fed with standard rat food; Group 2 (n =
6), 75% mussels and 25% standard rat food daily; Group 3 (n = 6), 75% mussels
and 25% standard rat food every two days; and Group 4 (n = 6), 75% mussels and
25% standard rat food every three days. To detect Cu/Zn SOD localization in the
tissues, the LAB-SA Detection System was used. Results: Cu/Zn SOD enzyme immunoreactivity was not detected in Group 1 and in
samples without Cu/Zn SOD primer antibody. Cu/Zn SOD enzyme immunoreactivity
was detected 82% in Group 2, 79% in Group 3, and 61% in Group 4. There was
statistically significant difference between the Cu/Zn SOD immunoreactivity of
epithelial cells in the gastric mucosa of the rats in the experimental and
control groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Determination of the increase of Cu/Zn SOD enzyme in
the gastric mucosa of mussel-fed rats that we used in our study suggests that
it triggers the antioxidant defense mechanism against mussel toxicity.

Bovine ephemeral fever is an economically important viral disease of cattle and water buffalo. In this study, it was aimed to investigate oxidant-antioxidant status in cattle with ephemeral fever disease. A total of 32 Holsteins aged between 12 - 18 months kept under same care and feeding conditions were used. Activities of GPx, CAT and SOD and the levels of TAC, TOS, CP, SH and MDA were measured. Levels of CP and TAC were significantly (pless than 0,05) higher in IG compared to HG. Levels of SH and CP were significantly (pless than 0,05) lower and CAT activity were significantly (pless than 0,05) higher in RG compared with IG. Levels of SH and activity of GPx and were significantly (pless than 0,05) lower and CAT levels were significantly (pless than 0,05) higher in RG compared with HG. The results or this experiment suggest a possible relationship between oxidant/antioxidant balance in favor of antioxidants in ephemeral fever in cattle.

Authors: Zhong Y. B. , Zhang X. L. , Lv M. Y. , Hu X. F. , Li Y.
Published: August 2018

This study investigated splenic status changes in weaned Sprague-Dawley rats induced by lipopolysaccharide. There were forty 26-day-old rats selected randomly and equally divided into two groups. The treatment group received daily single doses of lipopolysaccharide, and the control group was treated with normal saline. We conducted haematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemical staining and semi-quantitative optical density analysis for both groups on the 29th, 32nd, 35th and 38th days after treatment. The results indicated that splenic marginal zone in the lipopolysaccharide group was thinner or disappeared compared to that of the saline group. However, the periarterial lymphoid sheath and the diameters of splenic lymphoid follicles appeared thicker and wider than those in the saline group (P less than 0.05). The expression of interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor alpha was mainly localized within the periarterial lymphoid sheath and splenic lymphoid follicles in the lipopolysaccharide treated rats. The integrated optical density and the average optical density in the lipopolysaccharide group were greater than those in the normal saline treated group (P less than 0.05). In conclusion, splenic immune function is probably strengthened by altering microstructures and releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines following lipopolysaccharide treatment.

Published: August 2018

This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between growth hormone (GH) gene polymorphism and milk production in Najdi sheep. Two hundred Najdi ewes were used to determine the daily milk yield (DMY). The complete CDS of the Najdi sheep GH gene is1950 in length, GenBank acc. no. KU310891.1. Najdi sheep GH protein consists of 217 amino acids GenBank ALT22407.1 with conversion amino acid arginine number 121 to amino acid lysine (R121K). A novel five SNPs were detected in Najdi sheep GH gene (G871A, A1259C, G1383A, A1486G and A1509G). A significant association between the detected SNPs genotypes and daily milk yield was found in this study. The regression analysis indicated the positive effect of genotype and SNPs on DMY. Individuals carrying homozygote mutant alleles had the highest DMY. Consequently, these SNP may be useful indicators in the selection of ewes for milk production.

Published: August 2018

The importance of constructing connections has been emphasized in many academic works, learning models, standards and teaching programs that illuminates teaching and learning of mathematics. In addition to the connection, the importance of a learning unit which is named as activity has been emphasized in many recent works and thoughts related to teaching and learning of mathematics. This situation moves the activities and activity based learning into the center of mathematics education. In mathematics education, mathematics learning activities are the most appropriate learning unit that could be construct connections with it. In this context, it is thought that it would be beneficial to explain what the connection is and how to construct connection using the existing or developed activities. The main purpose of this study is to identify pre-service secondary mathematics teachers’ (PSMTs) thoughts about what the real life connection is and how this connection could be constructed, and to examine how PSMTs reflected their thoughts on a group of mathematics learning activities that are connected with real life situations. In this work, the case study, which is one of the qualitative research paradigms, was used. The study was conducted with 33 (11 group) PSMTs who had been educated for 4th years in a public university. The PMSTs were asked to write free writings related to what the real life connection is and how to construct real life connections and to develop mathematics learning activities that are connected with real life situations. The collected data was analyzed using content analysis method. It is found that while PSMTs defended the necessity and importance of the real life connection, they had difficulty in reflecting this on mathematics learning activities.
The Road to Wigan Pier and the Jungle: The Conditions and the Troubles of the Working Class and the Writers’ Suggestion of Socialism
Authors: DİNÇER Figun
Published: August 2018

The accounts of George Orwell (1903-1950) in The Road to Wigan Pier (1937) and Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) in the Jungle (1906) and their personal experiences and observations of the working-class life in Wigan Pier, the industrial north of England and the Packingtown in Chicago, reveal the horrible working and housing conditions, unemployment, and thus the struggle for survival. One of the main reasons of the fact that these writers suggest socialism as a solution is the conditions of the laborers in both places which the writers personally observed and reflected in their works. This study aims to explore these social problems which eventually lead the writers who are from different countries in different times suggest socialism in different ways from each other.

Poslolitismo: el legado de Lolita en el cine indie del siglo XXI = Post-lolitism: the Lolita’s Legacy in the XXI’s Indie Cinema
Authors: León Arima
Published: August 2018

Resumen. En este trabajo realizo un recorrido a la inversa desde las películas La Belle Personne (Christophe Honoré, 2008), Fish Tank (Andrea Arnold, 2009) y The Diary of a Teenage Girl (Marielle Heller, 2015), hasta llegar a su germen: Lolita (1955), novela escrita por Vladimir Nabokov y adaptada a la gran pantalla por Stanley Kubrick en 1962. A partir de esta conexión, analizo los aspectos definitorios de esta nueva poslolita, enmarcando el personaje en un viaje narrativo concreto y un discurso feminista consciente. El viaje consta de tres momentos clave: una primera toma de contacto, el encuentro sexual y la liberación de la situación de opresión. En cuanto al discurso feminista, este revisa la figura de las poslolitas como objeto de deseo, además de la relación con el adulto y la iniciación sexual de las jóvenes. Estas tres películas suponen la reinterpretación del mito que Kubrick crea en su filme. Asimismo, esta nueva lectura del lolitismo se entiende a partir de la apropiación femenina de un discurso que ha sido explotado casi en exclusivo por hombres. Esto, sumado a la manifestación de no depender de la figura masculina para alcanzar la felicidad, hacen de The Diary of a Teenage Girl la máxima expresión de esta nueva poslolita. Palabras clave: Feminismo, cine, indie, Lolita, Nabokov. Abstract. La Belle Personne (Christophe Honoré, 2008), Fish Tank (Andrea Arnold, 2009) and The Diary of a Teenager (Marielle Heller, 2015), up to its germ: Lolita (1955), a novel written by Vladimir Nabokov and adapted to the great screen by Stanley Kubrick in 1962. From this connection, I analyze the final aspects of this new postlolita, framing the character in a concrete narrative journey and a conscious feminist discourse. The trip consists of three key moments: a first contact, the sexual encounter and the liberation from the situation of oppression. As for the feminist discourse, it reviews the figure of the postlitas as an object of desire, in addition to the relationship with the adult and the sexual initiation of young people. These three movies suppose the reinterpretation of the myth that Kubrick creates in his film. Also, this new reading of lolistism refers to the feminine appropriation of a discourse that has been exploited almost exclusively by men. This, added to the manifestation of not depending on the male figure to achieve happiness make The Diary of a teenager the ultimate expression of this new postlolita. Keywords: Feminism, film, indie, Lolita, Nabokov.

Serving Others at the Expense of Self: The Relationship between Nonprofit CEO Compensation and Performance in Trade and Professional Associations
Authors: Saitgalina Marina , Bennett Andrew A. , Reina Christopher S. , Coombs Joseph E.
Published: August 2018

This paper investigates the organizational importance of relative CEO compensation in trade associations and professional societies. It is known that there is variation in how much pay is tied to performance in different subcategories of nonprofit organizations. However, instead of looking at how performance affects pay, we investigate how CEO compensation affects organization performance when CEOs are aware of their peer compensation and are able to influence their own. We hypothesized that CEOs who knowingly earn less will be associated with both greater financial and nonfinancial organizational performance. This altruistic perspective draws on theories from leadership and psychology rather than the more typical agency perspective and focuses on the alignment between CEO and stakeholders in a nonprofit setting. We find strong support for the relationship between lower relative CEO compensation and organization performance, while results for the moderating effect of organizational size are mixed.
Can Cities Attract Affordable Housing for Economic Development? The Roles of Growth Management Policies and Urban Political Institutions
Authors: Gonzalez-Gorman Sylvia , Kwon Sung-Wook , Bak Daehee , Park Sang-Chul
Published: August 2018

While economic development and affordable housing are two important goals for city governments, pursuing both values is challenging due to their conflicting policy nature that is not easily harmonized. Cities inherently focus on economic development policies and tend to pay less attention to redistribution policies such as affordable housing. In this study, we examine why cities pursue both economic development and affordable housing simultaneously in spite of the challenge of balancing two contrasting goals. More specifically, we investigate the influence of state growth management policies and urban political institutions on whether cities support affordable housing to promote their key interest of economic development. Results indicate that state growth management policies are a critical factor that assists city governments attempting to pursue affordable housing and economic development simultaneously, while form of government is not significant.
