Organización del trabajo, conflictividad y medios de producción en la pesca en el banco sahariano (ss. XVII-XVIII)
Authors: Santana Pérez Juan Manuel
Published: October 2017

Se analiza la organización empresarial, las tareas y técnicas de pesca más utilizadas y la propiedad de los medios de producción en la pesca en el Banco Sahariano. Fue necesaria una inversión de capital y una planificación del trabajo y de la empresa para alcanzar la rentabilidad y que el riesgo mereciera la pena. En el desarrollo de la actividad participaban diversos grupos que tenían particularidades comunes pero cuyos trabajos los separaban dada su posición en el proceso productivo, condicionando así una visión del mundo diferente en cada uno de ellos. La participación de empresas en el Banco Sahariano fue constante; no se interrumpieron ni siquiera coyunturalmente, pese a que la política internacional y la evolución interna del archipiélago canario fue variando. Siempre hubo una presencia de pescadores isleños en esa franja de océano.

La expresión del sentimiento a la muerte de los Austrias. Las embajadas de pésame
Authors: Melgosa Oter Óscar Raúl
Published: October 2017

En este artículo se trata de responder a una serie de cuestiones relativas a las embajadas del Regimiento y del Cabildo catedralicio de la ciudad de Burgos, encargadas de expresar sus condolencias por el fallecimiento de algunos de los miembros de la dinastía de los Austrias y de manifestar su lealtad y servicio a la monarquía. Cuál era su significado y contenido, quiénes eran los encargados de esta misión y cuál era su perfil social o qué comportamientos mostraban con motivo de tan solemne función. También se analiza cómo se trasciende el carácter luctuoso e institucional de este acto al convertirse en una excelente oportunidad, aprovechada por los representantes de ambas instituciones, para estrechar lazos con el mundo cortesano en beneficio de la ciudad o en el suyo propio
“Un atto tanto pregiuditiale alla mia persona”. Conflictos de precedencia entre Madrid y Viena (1648-1659)
Authors: Tercero Casado Luis
Published: October 2017

La ruptura de la alianza entre las dos líneas principales de la Casa de Austria tras la paz de Westfalia quedó acentuada por una inédita escalada de conflictos por la precedencia entre integrantes de ambas potencias en el ámbito cortesano. Estas disputas constituyeron un indudable reflejo de los altibajos experimentados por dichas relaciones bilaterales a mediados de un siglo tan convulso como lo fue el XVII. Tanto Madrid como Viena tuvieron que replantearse sus prioridades de cara a la sucesión de la Monarquía Hispánica y el liderazgo de los Habsburgo en el Sacro Imperio. La desigual observación de las cuestiones protocolarias de ambas sedes con respecto a los representantes de la otra rama, lejos de contribuir a limar asperezas, agravó la diferencia de sensibilidades
Inmigración y estructura profesional en El Ferrol de finales del Antiguo Régimen
Authors: Martín García Alfredo
Published: October 2017

La elección de la villa de Ferrol, a mediados del siglo XVIII, como sede de la más importante instalación bélico-industrial de la Corona española motivará un importante movimiento migratorio hasta la localidad protagonizado, fundamentalmente, por naturales del propio reino de Galicia. Asimismo, los libros parroquiales ferrolanos plasman claramente la importante crisis que asolará a la localidad a comienzos del siglo XIX tras la ruina de la Armada española y que se manifestará en una fuerte caída de los empleos de la Maestranza así como en un descenso, menos marcado, de las profesiones militares.
La cultura escrita en La Coruña de finales del Antiguo Régimen. Una visión diferente: la librería de don Vicente Gutiérrez
Authors: Sampayo Seoane Eva
Published: October 2017

El hallazgo del inventario de los bienes de don Vicente Gutiérrez nos habilita para emprender el análisis de los fondos de la librería. Esto supone la posibilidad de acercarnos al mundo de la cultura escrita desde la vertiente opuesta a la que tradicionalmente se ha venido utilizando. La gran mayoría de trabajos publicados hasta la fecha incidían sobre las bibliotecas particulares tanto públicas como privadas, pero en esta ocasión partiremos desde el punto de vista de la oferta. El establecimiento en cuestión era una muestra de lo que los potenciales lectores herculinos podían encontrar entre sus estantes. Sus anaqueles dan cobijo a una amplia varierdad de temáticas y a una surtida gama de tiradas, diversificando formatos y encuadernaciones. No desdeña tampoco el librero los considerados géneros menores, sacando a la venta toda clase de literatura menuda, incluyendo papeles, láminas diversas, libretos y folletos.
Una función fundamental: el albaceazgo en una comunidad de la Edad Moderna
Authors: Gómez Navarro Soledad
Published: October 2017

Esta colaboración estudia cuál es el tipo de albaceazgo predominante en la Córdoba y provincia del Antiguo Régimen y qué esconde. Fijándonos específicamente en la opción clerical, puede conocerse así el grado de confianza que suscitan los eclesiásticos en las sociedades preindustriales, dada su asociación a ideas tales como respeto, prestigio, formación y status; establecer el nivel de acatamiento en el cuerpo social al modelo eclesiástico de "bien morir", que no sólo recomienda la participación de aquéllos en el acto testamentario, sino también su inclusión en alguna figura jurídica como, por ejemplo, la de la ejecución testamentaria; y aun fijar el límite de libertad con que el disponente enfrenta el otorgamiento de su última voluntad. Para ello, se analiza la definición jurídica y valoración del albaceazgo, así como su concreción en voluntades y decisiones individuales y colectivas.
Give My Poor Heart Ease
Authors: Tribble Curtis G
Published: October 2017

We came to The University of Virginia (UVA) within a year of each other nearly four decades ago: one (DN) to join the UVA basketball team during four of the best years of UVA basketball, and to earn 2 degrees, first in English and then in Sports Psychology; and the other (CT) to begin 7 years of training in general, vascular, thoracic, and cardiac surgery, which culminated with a faculty appointment in the UVA Department of Surgery, with part of the charge being to organize most of the Department’s educational programs. Realizing that the education and training of medical students and surgical residents would require knowledge, skills, and understanding above and beyond the usual training of a resident in surgery, I (CT) started an informal, though enriching, attempt to find those on the grounds of the University who might share ideas and insights that could enhance the educational programs in the Department. This process embodied the vision of the founders of the University to create an “academical village.”

Prenatal exposure to 1-bromopropane causes delayed adverse effects on hippocampal neuronal excitability in the CA1 subfield of rat offspring
Authors: Fueta Yukiko , Ishidao Toru , Ueno Susumu , Yoshida Yasuhiro , Kanda Yasunari , Hori Hajime
Published: October 2017

Objectives

Neurotoxicity of 1-bromopropane (1-BP) has been reported in occupational exposure, but whether the chemical exerts developmental neurotoxicity is unknown. We studied the effects of prenatal 1-BP exposure on neuronal excitability in rat offspring.

Methods

We exposed dams to 1-BP (700 ppm, 6 h a day for 20 days) and examined hippocampal slices obtained from the male offspring at 2, 5, 8, and 13 weeks of age. We measured the stimulation / response (S / R) relationship and paired-pulse ratios (PPRs) of the population spike (PS) at the interpulse intervals (IPIs) of 5 and 10 ms in the CA1 subfield.

Results

Prenatal 1-BP exposure enhanced S/R relationships of PS at 2 weeks of age; however, the enhancement diminished at 5 weeks of age until it reached control levels. Prenatal 1-BP exposure decreased PPRs of PS at 2 weeks of age. After sexual maturation, however, the PPRs of PS increased at 5-ms IPI in rats aged 8 and 13 weeks.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate that prenatal 1-BP exposure in dams can cause delayed adverse effects on excitability of pyramidal cells in the hippocampal CA1 subfield of offspring.
Part-time farmers and accidents with agricultural machinery: a moderated mediated model on the role played by frequency of use and unsafe beliefs
Authors: Caffaro Federica , Roccato Michele , Cremasco Margherita Micheletti , Cavallo Eugenio
Published: October 2017

Objectives

We aimed at testing a model of the direct and indirect effects of being a part-time farmer on the probability of being involved in an agricultural machinery-related accident, considering the role played by unsafe beliefs and the frequency of use of machinery.

Methods

Two-hundred and fifty-two Italian men, regular users of agricultural machinery (age: Mean = 45.1 years, standard Deviation = 17.5), were administered a paper-and-pencil questionnaire addressing their relation with work, unsafe beliefs, and previous experience of machinery-related accidents.

Results

Being a part-time farmer showed a positive association with unsafe beliefs only among occasional machinery users. Unsafe beliefs in turn showed a positive association with accidents.

Conclusions

The study gave a novel contribution to the knowledge of the chain of events connecting part-time farmers with machinery-related accidents. Preventive training interventions targeting part-timer farmers using agricultural machinery just occasionally should be developed.
A Japanese Stress Check Program screening tool predicts employee long-term sickness absence: a prospective study
Authors: Tsutsumi Akizumi , Shimazu Akihito , Eguchi Hisashi , Inoue Akiomi , Kawakami Norito
Published: October 2017

Objectives

On December 1, 2015, the Japanese government launched the Stress Check Program, a new occupational health policy to screen employees for high psychosocial stress in the workplace. As only weak evidence exists for the effectiveness of the program, we sought to estimate the risk of stress-associated longterm sickness absence as defined in the program manual.

Methods

Participants were 7356 male and 7362 female employees in a financial service company who completed the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ). We followed them for 1 year and used company records to identify employees with sickness absence of 1 month or longer. We defined high-risk employees using the BJSQ and criteria recommended by the program manual. We used the Cox proportional regression model to evaluate the prospective association between stress and long-term sickness absence.

Results

During the followup period, we identified 34 male and 35 female employees who took long-term sickness absence. After adjustment for age, length of service, job type, position, and post-examination interview, hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for incident long-term sickness absence in high-stress employees were 6.59 (3.04-14.25) for men and 2.77 (1.32-5.83) for women. The corresponding population attributable risks for high stress were 23.8% (10.3-42.6) for men and 21.0% (4.6-42.1) for women.

Conclusions

During the 1-year follow-up, employees identified as high stress (as defined by the Stress Check Program manual) had significantly elevated risks for long-term sickness absence.

Gender differences in the personal pronouns usage on the corpus of congressional speeches
Authors: Bozic Lenard Dragana
Published: October 2017

Gender differences in language have been extensively investigated by sociolinguists since the 1960s. This paper aimed to study gender differences in the personal pronouns usage on the corpus of the 113th United States Congress. All uninterrupted speeches (672 by women and 3,655 by men) whose transcripts were downloaded from the official repository Thomas were analyzed with the text analysis software Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count calculating the degree to which the politicians use personal pronouns. In addition, the computational analysis results were further analyzed with the software for statistical analysis SPSS. The quantitative analysis results pointed to minor statistically significant gender differences in the personal pronouns usage. However, the qualitative analysis showed more subtle gender differences pointing to linguistic changes in stereotypization.

Five statistical models for Likert-type experimental data on acceptability judgments
Authors: Janda Laura A. , Endresen Anna
Published: October 2017

This paper contributes to the ongoing debate over Likert scale experiments, in particular the issues of how to treat acceptability judgment data (as ordinal or interval) and what statistical model is appropriate to apply. We analyze empirical data on native speakers’ intuitions regarding marginal change-of state verbs in Russian (e.g. ukonkretit’ ‘concretize’, ovnešnit’ ‘externalize’) and compare the outcomes of five statistical models (parametric and non-parametric tests): (1) ANOVA; (2) Ordinal Logistic Regression Model; (3) Mixed-Effects Regression Model for Ordinal data; (4) Regression Tree and Random Forests Model; and (5) Classification Tree and Random Forests Model. We make four claims: (1) all five models are appropriate for this data to a greater or lesser degree; (2) overall, the outcomes of parametric and non-parametric tests applied to this data provide comparable results; (3) Classification Tree and Random Forests Model is the most appropriate, informative, and user-friendly regarding this data; and (4) the use of a culturally entrenched grading scale is an advantage.
The Waste Cluster Initiative - Evolving from a Cluster of Projects to a Cluster of Knowledge
Authors: Rosendo Helder
Published: October 2017

The WASTE CLUSTER INITIATIVE (WCI) focuses on the creation of an international balanced network of (regional) waste management-related initiatives, for mutual learning and exchange of knowledge, skills and technologies that will lead to an optimization of waste management-related innovation and competitiveness excellence. This cluster will stimulate the innovation and business creation by the expansion and enhancement of a network of regional waste management-oriented clusters, not only circumscribed at a European dimension but also considering Mediterranean Partner Countries MPCs, thus maximizing the usage of knowledge spillovers. This cluster involves the spatial concentration of complementary activities with intensive interaction, achieving extraordinary performance and competitiveness, obtaining benefits for industry, society and research. WASTE CLUSTER takes advantage starting form a natural integration of different ongoing projects such as SOWAEUMED, STInno, WASTEKIT and TEMP, which had already identify two strategic common topics that should be the major thematic focus of the WASTE CLUSTER INITIATIVE: 1)Water and Waste Water management & 2) Waste into Products Technologies and Processes. WASTE CLUSTER is a free entrance strategy rather than a close club, where the diffusion to all the Project partners is ensured in order to reinforce their diffusion to their regional potential interested stakeholders and try to obtain funding synergies. The cluster should be connected to the Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform (WSSTP) in order to build a common agenda.
Espoused and enacted values of student teachers interrogating race, class, and gender in literary texts
Authors: Pillay Ansurie , Wassermann Johan
Published: October 2017

While South Africa has embraced a democratic ideal for over 20 years, the dynamics of race, class, and gender have not been fully engaged with. In an educational setting, such as a university lecture room, active interrogation of these and other issues may present opportunities for understanding and change. In this article, the authors present findings from a participatory action research study that used literary texts as catalysts to interrogate issues of race, class, and gender. The study was underpinned by critical pedagogy and asserted an empowerment and transformation agenda. Using qualitatively analysed data from observations, interviews, focus groups, and written tasks, the authors found that while the student teachers in a teacher education programme espoused certain values related to characters, events, and issues in the literary texts studied, what they said they do in their daily lives proved contradictory. However, as the six cycles of the study proceeded, awareness of the complexities of the student teachers' lives and the contradictions inherent in their behaviours enabled the student teachers to interrogate issues of race, class, and gender from an informed position, and helped engender their journeys towards empowerment and transformation.
Privilege, poverty, and pedagogy: reflections on the introduction of a service-learning component into a postgraduate political studies course
Authors: Matthews Sally
Published: October 2017

This paper reflects on the experience of integrating a service-learning component into a postgraduate course in political studies. The course in question aims to get students to reflect on the ways in which poverty and privilege are tied up with each other, and on whether and how the relatively privileged can be involved in helpful ways in struggles against oppression. The service-learning component involved spending a week volunteering with a rural community-based organisation. Students were required to relate their volunteering experience to the course content. The paper reflects on the implications of the course's failure to live up to many criteria for quality service-learning, arguing that despite its failings, the service-learning experience significantly enhanced the learning of the students and also my own learning as an educator. I show that the nature of this learning calls into question some possible assumptions about how service-learning ought to be done. The paper contributes to ongoing discussions about the ways in which service-learning can assist in the achievement of social justice-related goals.
An autoethnographic exploration of disability discourses: transforming science education and research for students with learning disabilities
Authors: Baurhoo Neerusha
Published: October 2017

In this autoethnographic inquiry, I examine the dominant disability discourses that inform practice and research in science education for individuals with disabilities. Guided by my experience as a practitioner-researcher, I use reflexive vignettes and photo elicitation to discuss and critique disability discourses (e.g., the medical and social models of disability) that construct students with learning disabilities (LD) as disadvantaged learners. For example, the medical model of disability pathologises students with LD by focusing on their individual deficits and blaming them for their academic struggles and failures in science. In contrast, the social model of disability locates the problem solely within the students' environment (e.g., teaching strategies) and does not consider within-individual issues (e.g., cognitive deficits). By navigating through these discourses, I found my voice as a practitioner-researcher in Bronfenbrenner's (2005) ecological model, which recognises that individuals' barriers stem from their characteristics as well as their complex, multilayered environment. This article, embedded within a reflexive process, illuminates my journey of self-transformation as a practitioner-researcher while transforming and bringing educational changes to the academic lives of my students with LD.

Authors: Gorucu-Coskuner Hande , Atik Ezgi , Kocadereli Ilken
Published: October 2017

Objective: To compare the effects of extraction, non-extraction and air-rotor stripping treatments on mandibular dental arch dimensions, lower incisor positions and evaluate their effects on the stability of the treatment. Study design: The sample consisted of 44 patients with Class I malocclusion and moderate crowding including 15 patients treated with extraction, 13 with air-rotor stripping (ARS), and 16 with non-extraction treatment. The records were taken at pretreatment (T0), end of active orthodontic treatment (T1), minimum 3 years post-treatment (T2). The model and cephalometric measurements were evaluated. For statistical analyses ANOVA and Welch test was applied. Results: At post-retention period Little's irregularity indices were increased to 1.96 mm, 2.38 mm and 3.59 mm for extraction, ARS and non-extraction groups respectively (p<0.05). At T1-T2, intercanine widths were decreased significantly at all groups (p<0.05). The arch length and arch depth decreased significantly at extraction group (p<0.05) from T0 to T1 and remained the same at T2 (p>0.05). The lower incisors were retroclined with treatment and slightly proclined at post-retention period in extraction group. In ARS and non-extraction group, lower incisors proclined with treatment and remained the same at post-retention. Conclusion: At all groups the irregularity indices relapsed but did not return to pretreatment values. Although significant increase at intercanine width was only observed in non-extraction treatment, at post-retention phase, intercanine widths were significantly decreased at all groups. The changes at lower incisor inclinations relapsed slightly in extraction group but remained the same in the other groups.
Effect of Calcium Hydroxide as a Root Canal Dressing Material on Dentin Fracture Strength In Primary Teeth–In Vitro Study
Authors: Said Fadi , Moskovitz Moti
Published: October 2017

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of calcium hydroxide as a root canal dressing material on dentin microtensile fracture strength in human primary teeth in vitro. Study design: Thirty primary anterior teeth with root canals packed with calcium hydroxide were divided into groups of ten and immersed in saline at room temperature for 7, 30 and 90 days. Ten teeth with root canals filled with sterile saline were the control group. Microtensile fracture strength was measured in Mechanical tester Lloyd testing machine. Results: There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) between the fracture strength of the calcium hydroxide-filled teeth after 90 days (19.1 MPa) compared with the control (35.8 MPa). Dentin microtensile fracture strength of the calcium hydroxide-filled teeth decreased at an average of 0.142 MPa per day. Conclusion: Calcium hydroxide placed in root canals for an extended time had a significantly negative effect on root strength. Long-term success of root canal treatment in primary anterior teeth is estimated as 65% with most of the failures result from trauma recurrence.

Clinical Relevance: Our results stress the need to evaluate the pros and cons of root canal treatment compared to extractions of non-vital primary incisors.

Fathers’ Worries During Pregnancy: A Qualitative Content Analysis of Reddit
Authors: Pilkington Pamela D. , Rominov Holly
Published: October 2017

Qualitative investigations into the emotional needs of expectant fathers have been limited by difficulties with recruitment. This study aimed to unobtrusively obtain insights into fathers’ worries during pregnancy by analyzing the content of posts on the Internet forum Reddit. The majority of worries related to infant well-being (50.8%), particularly the potential for perinatal loss (23.0%). Concerns relating to partner well-being and the couple relationship were also common, comprising 17.0% of posts. Several posts related to individual factors, such as apprehension about the father role (16.3%). Finally, situational factors such as work–family conflict accounted for 15.9% of posts. These findings contribute to the growing literature on fathers’ experiences of pregnancy and can inform the development of father-inclusive perinatal education.

Authors: Schwertner Debora Soccal , Oliveira Raul , Marinho Ana Paula Ramos , Benetti Magnus , Beltrame Thais Silva , Capistrano Renata
Published: October 2017

Introduction: The objective of this study was to adapt the Brazilian version, and verify the validity, reliability and internal consistency of the Oliveira questionnaire on low back pain in young people.Material and Methods: The questionnaire was translated from European Portuguese into Brazilian Portuguese by means of translation and re-translation. The validity of the contents was determined by experts who analyzed the clarity and pertinence of the questions. Fifteen young people aged 15 to 18 took part in the pre-test step (qualitative analysis), 40 in the test-retest (reliability) and 679 in the evaluation of internal consistency. The intra-class correlation coefficient and Spearman’s correlation coefficient were used in the reliability analysis (test-retest), and Cronbach’s alpha to determine the internal consistency (stability).Results: In the translation phase the questionnaire was modified and considered suitable, observing similarity and equivalence of the two versions. After being corrected by the experts in the validation of the contents, the instrument was considered suitable and valid, and in the pre-test, the young people suggested some modifications to make the questionnaire more succinct. With respect to reliability, the values for the intra-class correlation coefficient were between 0.512 – acceptable and 1 – excellent and Spearman’s correlation coefficient varied between 0.525 and 1, classifying the instrument as reproducible. The internal consistency was considered acceptable with a 0.757 Cronbach’s alpha.Discussion: The Oliveira questionnaire was choosen since it has been used in several Portuguese studies; moreover, it addresses the need to raise data regarding low back pain and associated risk factors.Conclusions: The Brazilian version of the Oliveira questionnaire on low back pain in young people showed valid and reliable cultural adaptation, with good reliability and stability.
Hepatic Angiosarcoma Masquerading as Hemangioma: A Challenging Differential Diagnosis
Authors: Garcia Ana Rita , Ribeiro João , Gervásio Helena , Sousa Francisco Castro e
Published: October 2017

Hemangiomas are usually diagnosed based on ultrasound findings. The presence of symptoms, rapid growth or atipical imagiological findings should make us consider other diagnoses, including malignant tumors such as angiosarcomas. We describe the case of a previously healthy 46-year-old female without a history of exposure to carcinogens who presented with abdominal pain for two months. Diagnostic work-up revealed elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase and lactate dehydrogenase levels. Abdominal ultrasound described a large nodular lesion in the right lobe of the liver described as a hemangioma. One month later, a computed tomography-scan was made and revealed the same lesion, which had grown from 13.5 to 20 cm, maintaining typical imaging characteristics of a hemangioma. A right hepatectomy was performed and pathology revealed an angiosarcoma. After surgery, a positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan showed hepatic and bone metastasis. The patient started taxane-based chemotherapy and lumbar palliative radiotherapy, but died 10 months after surgery. This case shows how difficult it is to diagnose hepatic angiosarcoma relying only on imaging findings. Two abdominal computed tomography -scans were performed and none suggested this diagnosis. Angiosarcoma is a very aggressive tumour with an adverse prognosis. Surgery is the only curative treatment available. However, it is rarely feasible due to unresectable disease or distant metastasis.
Penerapan Teknologi RFID untuk Purwarupa Pencatatan Presensi Mahasiswa di Laboratorium Komputer
Authors: Tan Robby , Kartawihardja Djoni Setiawan , Christian Ivan
Published: October 2017

Abstrak— Kehadiran mahasiswa merupakan salah satu bagian daripada proses akademik. Saat ini, Fakultas Teknologi Informasi masih menggunakan sistem pencatatan kehadiran mahasiswa dengan cara tanda tangan pada Daftar Hadir Mahasiswa dan Dosen (DHMD) yang kemudian setiap kehadiran mahasiswa akan dicatat kembali pada Sistem Akademik Terpadu (SAT). Proses penandatanganan DHMD ini kemungkinan dapat menyebabkan hilangnya konsentrasi mahasiswa karena diperlukan beberapa saat untuk tanda tangan sebelum kembali memperhatikan penjelasan dosen. Selain itu, sering terdapat kesalahan tanda tangan dalam arti mahasiswa menanda tangani baris presensi milik mahasiswa yang lain. Dalam menemukan solusi untuk masalah tersebut, dilakukan pembuatan purwarupa pencatatan presensi kehadiran yang tetap dapat dipantau oleh dosen sekaligus meminimalkan proses terjadinya kesalahan. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan teknologi RFID yang sudah dimiliki oleh dosen dan mahasiswa yaitu kartu dosen dan kartu tanda mahasiswa (KTM). Proses identifikasi kartu dan pembuatan proses jalannya pencatatan presensi secara digital dapat membantu proses akademik berjalan dengan baik. Simpulan dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan adalah data yang disimpan dalam RFID telah berhasil dibaca dan dibuat dalam bentuk data kehadiran secara digital.Kata Kunci— Presensi Mahasiswa, Purwarupa, RFIDAbstract—Student presence is one of many the academic process. Currently, Information Technology Faculty still uses student signature in Daftar Hadir Mahasiswa dan Dosen (DHMD) as proof of attendance. Every week, DHMD will be collected and student presence data will be inserted in Sistem Akademik Terpadu (SAT). The DHMD signing process is likely to lead to a loss of student concentration as it may take a while for the signature before returning to the lecturer's explanation. In addition, there are often signature errors in the sense that students sign other students' presences. In finding a solution to the problem, a prototype of presence attendance system is constructed so lecturer can monitor the while minimizing the process of the error occurring. This research utilizes RFID technology in form of the lecturer card and student identity card (KTM). The process of card identification and creating the flow process of capture digital presence can help the academic process work well. The conclusion of the research that has been done is the data stored in RFID has been successfully read and made in the form of digital attendance data.Keywords— Student Presence, Prototype, RFID

In certain cases, training data is available only in the form of a single class, as in the case of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) patients, where only data of positive patients is available. In this paper, we report our experiment in building a classification model for detecting DHF infection using One Class Classification (OCC) approach. Data from this study is sourced from laboratory tests of patients with dengue fever. The OCC methods compared are One-Class Support Vector Machine and One-Class K-Means. The result shows SVM method obtained precision value = 1.0, recall = 0.993, f-1 score = 0.997, and accuracy of 99.7% while the K-Means method obtained precision value = 0.901, recall = 0.973, f- 1 score = 0.936, and accuracy of 93.3%. This indicates that the SVM method is slightly superior to K-Means for One-Class Classification of DHF patients. Keywords— Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, K-Means, One Class Classification, OSVM

El trabajo de Marres aquí traído adquiere especial singularidad con respecto a los citados. En primer lugar, su concepción de sociología digital atraviesa los cuatro niveles de origen bachelardiano: ontológico, epistemológico, metodológico y tecnológico. Es decir, se asume que la sociedad digital existe y que, en todo caso, lo digital atraviesa nuestras sociedades, con independencia de si se encuentran clasificadas en la categoría de muy desarrolladas o en la eufemística categoría de en vías de desarrollo.

This study aims to verify whether the three-dimensional internal information acquisition system we have developed can be applied successfully to the microstructures of consecutively precision-machined biological samples, and to those of metallic samples. Therefore, this study mainly deals with biological hard tissue samples like bones. In this paper, we first studied the precision-machining characteristics of bones. From this, we determined that, to obtain machined surfaces sufficient for internal observations, we need to determine the maximum uncut chip thickness and the cutting speeds, taking the bone’s anisotropy into consideration. Next, we acquired three-dimensional internal information on consecutively precision-machined bone samples using the three-dimensional internal acquisition system we developed. Subsequently, we visualized the internal structures of these machined samples. Our tiling observations acquired an 18×9×3 mm segment as a 6.2×6.2×10μm resolution image. We obtained a three-dimensionally reconstructed image of complex blood vessel networks inside the bone by making the acquired images binary.
Osseointegration for Lower-Limb Amputation
Authors: Hebert Jacqueline S. , Rehani Mayank , Stiegelmar Robert
Published: October 2017

Background:

Traditional socket prostheses are not a viable option for all lower-limb prosthetic users. Discomfort, pain in the residual limb, and problems related to the fit of the socket are common and have been shown to negatively impact quality of life and mobility. Osseointegrated or bone-anchored prosthetic implants have evolved over the past 2 decades as a promising alternative for patients who are experiencing substantial issues with socket prostheses.

Methods:

A review of the literature was performed to identify studies focusing on the evolution, clinical outcomes, success rates, and complications of osseointegrated lower-limb prostheses. Articles were summarized according to the implant type, amputation level, and study characteristics, with rating of the Level of Evidence. Information on patient selection criteria, outcomes, and complications was extracted.

Results:

Fourteen articles (with Level-II, III, or IV evidence) met the inclusion criteria. Infection and soft-tissue irritation at the stoma were the most common complications. It is evident that, over the years, changes in implant design, surgical technique, perioperative and postoperative care, and rehabilitation protocols have resulted in improvements in functional outcomes and health-related quality of life, and reduction in rates of complications.

Conclusions:

Osseointegration for limb amputation has become an established clinical treatment option for persons with lower-limb amputation not tolerating traditional socket prostheses. Osseointegration could provide substantial benefits regarding function and quality of life for appropriately selected patients who accept the documented risks.

Level of Evidence:

Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Introdução: A hipertensão arterial sistêmica é caracterizada pela elevação anormal dos valores pressóricos da pressão arterial. A hipertensão arterial sistêmica no Brasil é observada como um grave problema para a saúde pública e entre os idosos é vista como prevalente nessa fase da vida. Objetivo: investigar o perfil sociodemográfico de pessoas idosas com hipertensão arterial sistêmica no município de João Pessoa-PB. Material e método: O estudo é caracterizado por ser um estudo observacional, transversal, de base populacional e com abordagem quantitativa, onde será analisado o perfil de usuários com hipertensão arterial sistêmica no município de João Pessoa-PB por meio de uma coorte de hipertensos. A amostra foi constituída por 114 indivíduos idosos cadastrados no Sistema de Cadastramento e Acompanhamento de Hipertensos e Diabéticos. Resultados: As mulheres e idosos entre 60 e 79 anos estão em maior número no presente estudo portando a hipertensão arterial. Houve um predomínio de pessoas que possuíam até o ensino fundamental, sendo ele incompleto, como nível de escolaridade. O quantitativo de indivíduos que ganhavam de R$ 1.625 até R$ 2.705 estava maior. Conclusão: Vários elementos são favoráveis ao surgimento da hipertensão arterial sistêmica, como a questão de ser mulher, ter o nível de escolaridade e a renda baixos. Novos estudos são importantes para melhor compreender o processo e a relevância que cada elemento tem dentro da hipertensão arterial, para que dessa forma medidas satisfatórias sejam tomadas.Descritores: Hipertensão; Fatores de Risco; Saúde Pública.
