Published: December 2017

This article describes the practice of creating a culture of self-operation of the person involved in the system of continuous education. The quality determination and the study of the individual independent work culture are the model realized in the pedagogy of cooperation and self-organization in terms of the interaction of multi-environment. The model is defined by technology constructs of system-pedagogical modeling. The possibility of taking into account individual characteristics and conditions of the normal distribution of abilities and health of students can be defined in the personalization of learning and education. The quality of formation and formedness of independent work of the individual culture defines the quality of vocational and labor relations and the ability for self-organization cooperation and communication conditions. The peculiarities of lifelong education lead to the inclusion of the individual in a personalized poly-variation search for solutions of the problems, socialization, self-realization and self-affirmation. For a complete understanding of the importance of the formation and the formedness of independent work of the individual culture of teachers it is necessary to be aware of the pedagogical modeling, productivity and culture as the highest form of all changes in a particular phenomenon or phenomenon under consideration. The traditional understanding of the culture of independent work of the individual reads as follow: a multi-level determinations and the system of products on macro-, mezo- and micro-level simulation, which determines the quality of the issue of one’s productive personality development in the activity model that ensures timely and personalized solution of development, socialization and self-realization. The innovative understanding of the individual culture of independent work is a hierarchy of information and anthropological constructs that underpin natural-scientific way of solving determinate problems and contradictions.

Published: December 2017

Aim and Objective:

Plasma protein binding (PPB) has vital importance in the
characterization of drug distribution in the systemic circulation. Unfavorable PPB can pose a
negative effect on clinical development of promising drug candidates. The drug distribution
properties should be considered at the initial phases of the drug design and development. Therefore,
PPB prediction models are receiving an increased attention.

Materials and Methods:

In the current study, we present a systematic approach using Support vector
machine, Artificial neural network, k- nearest neighbor, Probabilistic neural network, Partial least
square and Linear discriminant analysis to relate various in vitro and in silico molecular descriptors to a
diverse dataset of 736 drugs/drug-like compounds.

Results:

The overall accuracy of Support vector machine with Radial basis function kernel came out to
be comparatively better than the rest of the applied algorithms. The training set accuracy, validation set
accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity and F1 score for the Suprort vector machine was found to be
89.73%, 89.97%, 92.56%, 87.26%, 91.97% and 0.898, respectively.

Conclusion:

This model can potentially be useful in screening of relevant drug candidates at the
preliminary stages of drug design and development.

Authors: Anita Sebasthiyar , Priya Panchnathan Aruna
Published: December 2017

Background:

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is caused by the deficiency of dopamine, the
neurotransmitter that has an effect on specific uptake region of the substantia nigra. Identification
of PD is quite tough at an early stage.

Objective:

The present work proposes an expert system for three dimensional Single-Photon Emission
Computed Tomography (SPECT) image to diagnose the early PD.

Methods:

The transaxial image slices are selected on the basis of their high specific uptake region.
The processing techniques like preprocessing, segmentation and feature extraction are implemented
to extract the quantification parameters like Intensity, correlation, entropy, skewness and kurtosis
of the images. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM)
classifiers using Radial Basis Function kernel (RBF) are implemented and their results are compared
in order to achieve better performance of the system. The performance of the system is evaluated
in terms of sensitivity, specificity analysis, accuracy, Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) and
Area Under the Curve (AUC).

Results:

It is found that RBF-ELM provides high accuracy of 98.2% in diagnosing early PD. In
addition, the similarity among the features is found out using K-means clustering algorithm to
compute the threshold level for early PD. The computed threshold level is validated using Analysis
of Variance (ANOVA).

Conclusion:

The proposed system has a great potential to assist the clinicians in the early diagnosis
process of PD.

Published: December 2017

Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer characterized by poor prognosis and high mortality. The
development of targeted agents based on the discovery of driver mutations as well as the implementation of
checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy represents a major breakthrough in the treatment of metastatic
melanoma. However, in both cases the development of drug resistance and immune escape mechanisms as well as
the lack of predictive biomarkers limits their extraordinary clinical efficacy. In this article, we summarize the
available therapeutic options for patients with metastatic melanoma, outline the mechanisms implicated in the
resistance to both targeted agents and immunotherapy, discuss potential predictive biomarkers and outline future
therapeutic approaches under investigation.

Published: December 2017

Background:

Primary care units in rural areas of the Russian Federation experience difficulties in long-term follow-up of chronic cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension. Identification of outpatient clinical traits affecting the goal blood pressure (BP) may optimize the choice of treatment pathways.

Objective:

To identify the patient-related factors affecting the achievement of the goal BP in the course of hypertension treatment at a rural polyclinic.

Methods:

We analyzed the data on 182 patients with essential hypertension (64.6 ± 11.3 yo; 48.5% men), who were treated in polyclinic settings of a rural settlement in the Saratov Region of the Russian Federation. Outpatient medical records were used as a source of clinical data. Repeat patients with hypertension diagnosis specified in their medical records, visiting a therapeutist or cardiologist on two randomly selected workdays, were enrolled in our study. The first appointment took place during 1-31 July, 2015 (n = 88), while the second visit occurred on 1- 31 July, 2016 (n = 94). Eleven district therapeutists, two general practitioners and the only cardiologist of the polyclinic participated in the study. Discriminant function analysis was used to identify factors affecting the achievement of the goal blood pressure in the patients. Basic demographic and anamnesis data, risk factors, medical treatment type and lifestyle modification measures, if any, which exhibited statistical significance in univariate analysis (p<0.05), were selected for multi-factor discriminant analysis.

Results:

The goal BP was achieved in 93 patients (51%). The patients with the goal BP differed from those with uncontrolled hypertension in various ways. They were less often women (53.8% vs. 69.7%, p = 0.028), more frequently had prior myocardial infarction (22.6% vs. 10.1%, p = 0.024), more rarely suffered from other forms of stable CAD (55.9% vs. 73%, p = 0.016), as well as took fewer thiazide-like diuretics (9.7% vs 21.3%, p = 0.03). It is worth noting that fewer antihypertensive medications were prescribed to the patients with the goal BP as opposed to those with poor BP control (1.63 ± 0.12 vs. 1.98 ± 0.11, p = 0.018).

Resulting discriminant model exhibited high predictive power. The ratio of odds for the model was 5.4 (95% CI: 2.7-10.7), р<0.001. The single factor correlating significantly with the achievement of the goal BP was preceding myocardial infarction (OR 2.6, 95% CI: 1.1 - 6.6, р=0.032), while prescription of two or more antihypertension drugs was associated with poor BP control (OR 0.4, 95% CI: 0.2 - 0.7, р=0.003).

Conclusion:

In the hypertensive patients with a history of myocardial infarction versus those without it, treated at a rural polyclinic, BP was more likely to be controlled. Administration of multiple antihypertensive drugs was associated with poor BP control.
Steel corrosion in reinforced alkali-activated materials

Published: December 2017

The development of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) as an alternative to Portland cement (PC) has seen significant progress in the past decades. However, there still remains significant uncertainty regarding their long term performance when used in steel-reinforced structures. The durability of AAMs in such applications depends strongly on the corrosion behaviour of the embedded steel reinforcement, and the experimental data in the literature are limited and in some cases inconsistent. This letter elucidates the role of the chemistry of AAMs on the mechanisms governing passivation and chloride-induced corrosion of the steel reinforcement, to bring a better understanding of the durability of AAM structures exposed to chloride. The corrosion of the steel reinforcement in AAMs differs significantly from observations in PC; the onset of pitting (or the chloride ‘threshold’ value) depends strongly on the alkalinity, and the redox environment, of these binders. Classifications or standards used to assess the severity of steel corrosion in PC appear not to be directly applicable to AAMs due to important differences in pore solution chemistry and phase assemblage.

Los sorprendentes murciélagos: ¿Amigos, enemigos o aliados?
Authors: Mattar V Salim , González T Marco
Published: December 2017

Los murciélagos son un grupo de vertebrados extraordinariamente especializados y son los únicos mamíferos capaces de volar; sus hábitos nocturnos los han estigmatizado hasta tal punto que en las producciones cinematográficas de Hollywood se consideró al Conde Drácula de los Montes Cárpatos como el primer hombre vampiro; incluso antes que el propio Batman. En los ecosistemas, los murciélagos son actores con roles protagónicos, el 70% de ellos son insectívoros, polinizadores, frugívoros, contribuyen a la regeneración de los bosques mediante la diseminación de semillas y algunos son cazadores de peces. Aunque su gran población se distribuye principalmente en los trópicos, son cosmopolitas y también se encuentran en el hemisferio norte. La población de estos murciélagos ha sido desplazada en los trópicos sudamericanos, debido, entre muchos factores, a la minería ilegal, la fumigación de pesticidas, la deforestación indiscriminada para proporcionar pastizales al ganado, así como la invasión de sus hábitats por los humanos (1).

Evaluación de la toxicidad de metales pesados en dos suelos agrícolas de Colombia mediante bioensayos
Authors: Cortés Luis , Martin Francisco , Sarria Margarita
Published: December 2017

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la toxicidad de Cu, Cd, Ni, Pb y Zn, en dos suelos agrícolas colombianos, Andisol y Vertisol, mediante bioensayos con Lactuca sativa y Vibrio fischeri. Los metales se adicionaron individualmente a los suelos hasta superar el nivel de intervención de Andalucía. Posteriormente se incubaron a 25 °C y 60% de humedad, durante 60 y 90 días, respectivamente. El diseño experimental fue un completamente al azar con tres repeticiones. Luego de cada incubación se determinó la concentración de los metales en extractos acuosos, y con ellos se efectuaron bioensayos con Lactuca Sativa y Vibrio fischeri. Se efectuó análisis estadístico de resultados, comparaciones post hoc (Tukey), correlaciones y análisis de componentes principales, para encontrar los factores que afectaron los organismos en estudio. Se encontró que el Vertisol presentó mayor capacidad de inmovilización de los metales, en función de su contenido de arcillas y pH neutro, lo cual se reflejó en menor toxicidad sobre las especies en ensayo, indicando que este suelo actuó como protectante contra la movilidad de contaminantes en solución del suelo. El ensayo con V. fischeri presentó mayor sensibilidad a los contaminantes, permitiendo una mejor discriminación de los niveles de toxicidad. La capacidad de ambos suelos de inhibir la toxicidad se incrementó con el tiempo, posiblemente por interacción de los metales con los diferentes componentes de los suelos, y la disminución de su movilidad por mecanismos como la formación de complejos estables, y se relacionó con el incremento del pH.
Health Care Professionals� Attitudes Toward, and Experiences of Using, a Culture-Sensitive Smartphone App for Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Garnweidner-Holme Lisa , Hoel Andersen Therese , Sando Mari Wastvedt , Noll Josef , Lukasse Mirjam
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

The increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among women of different ethnic backgrounds provides new challenges for health care professionals, who often find it difficult to provide information about the management of this disease to such individuals. Mobile health (mHealth) may act as a useful tool for blood sugar control and care process enhancement. However, little is known about health care professionals’ experiences and attitudes toward the use of mHealth for women with GDM.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to explore how health care professionals perceived the provision of care to pregnant women who managed their GDM using the culture-sensitive Pregnant+ app in a randomized controlled trial.

METHODS

Individual interviews with 9 health care professionals providing care for women with GDM were conducted. Braun and Clark’s method of thematic content analysis inspired the analysis. This study included health care professionals who were primarily responsible for providing care to participants with GDM in the Pregnant+ randomized controlled trial at 5 diabetes outpatient clinics in Oslo, Norway.

RESULTS

Health care professionals perceived mHealth, particularly the Pregnant+ app, as an appropriate tool for the care of women with GDM, who were described as individuals comprising a heterogeneous, motivated group that could be easily approached with health-related information. Some participants reported challenges with respect to provision of advice to women with different food cultures. The advantages of the Pregnant+ app included provision of information that women could access at home, the information provided being perceived as trustworthy by health care professionals, the culture sensitivity of the app, and the convenience for women to register blood sugar levels. Technical problems, particularly those associated with the automatic transfer of blood glucose measurements, were identified as the main barrier to the use of the Pregnant+ app. Strict inclusion criteria and the inclusion of participants who could not speak Norwegian were the main challenges in the recruitment process for the randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings of this study suggest that mHealth is a useful tool to enhance the care provided by health care professionals to women with GDM. Future mobile apps for the management of GDM should be developed by a trustworthy source and in cooperation with health care professionals. They should also be culture sensitive and should not exhibit technical problems.
DO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DEBT LEVELS AFFECT THE SIZE OF FISCAL MULTIPLIERS?
Authors: Adi Chairul
Published: December 2017

This paper investigates the effectiveness of fiscal policies – as measured by the impact and cumulative multipliers – and how they interact with public and private debt. Harnessing the moderated panel regression approach, based on the yearly data set of several economies during the period from 1996 to 2012, the analysis is focused on the impact of spending-and-revenue-based fiscal policies on economic growth and how these fiscal instruments interact with public and private indebtedness. The result of spending stimuli advocates the basic Keynesian theory. An increase in public expenditures contemporaneously generates a positive multiplier, of around 0.29 – 0.44 and around 0.45 – 0.58 during two years. Decomposing the expenditures into their elements, this paper documents a stronger impact from public investment than that from government purchases. On the other hand, the revenue stimuli seem to follow the Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis (REH), arguing that current tax cuts are inconsequential. The impact and cumulative multipliers for this fiscal instrument have mixed results, ranging from -0.21 to 0.05 and -0.26 to 0.06, respectively. Moreover, no robust evidence is found to support the argument that government debt moderates the effectiveness of fiscal policies. The size of the multipliers for both spending and revenue policies remain constant with the level of public debt. On the other hand, private debt appears to show a statistically significant moderating effect on spending stimuli. Its impact on spending multipliers, however, is economically insignificant. The moderation effect of private debt on the revenue stimuli does not seem to exist. Finally, this paper documents that both public and private debt exhibit a negative and statistically significant estimation for economic output.

AbstractA valid marriage according to the religion, but not legal under state law led to marriage is not legal protection, so that the rights are owned by the family unprotected. Additionally, family law arrangements are still voluntary, can cause difficulties in realizing the goal of law that works to protect the rights of every person in family relationships. The issue of family law at the present time needs serious and comprehensive arrangement, namely the presence of family law in Aceh. Family law has a crucial role in regulating the various issues ranging from the establishment of a family to provide guarantees for the fulfillment of the rights possessed by each member of the family.IntisariPerkawinan yang sah menurut agama, tetapi tidak sah menurut hukum negara menyebabkan perkawinan tidak mendapatkan perlindungan hukum, sehingga hak-hak yang dimiliki oleh keluarga tidak terlindungi. Selain itu, pengaturan hukum keluarga yang masih bersifat fakultatif, dapat menyebabkan kesulitan dalam mewujudkan tujuan hukum yang berfungsi untuk melindungi hak-hak yang dimiliki oleh setiap orang dalam hubungan keluarga. Persoalan hukum keluarga pada masa kini perlu pengaturan secara serius dan komprehensif, yakni kehadiran Hukum Keluarga di Aceh. Hukum keluarga memiliki peranan yang krusial dalam mengatur pelbagai permasalahan mulai dari pembentukan sebuah keluarga hingga memberikan jaminan atas terpenuhinya hak-hak yang dimiliki oleh masing-masing anggota keluarga.
PATIWANGI SANCTION IN BALINESE HINDU COMMUNITY’S LEGAL CULTURE
Authors: Sadnyini Ida Ayu
Published: December 2017

AbstractInter-dynastic marriage today has been commonly held by Hindu community that has a vertically closed social stratification called dynasty. Couples who wants to perform inter-dynastic marriages before 1951 are required to conduct patiwangi ceremony in addition to the discharge penalty into areas outside Bali (Selong). Sanctions of patiwangi ceremony have been removed by some rules, but the community still conducts it. From this background, problems arise as follows: What is the meaning of patiwangi ceremony? Why are people still perform the patiwangi ceremony sanction?. The method used is the type of empirical legal research, using qualitative descriptive analysis. The meaning of patiwangi sanctions is to lower dignity and honor of a caste woman. People still perform the patiwangi because patiwangi is a legal culture that has penetrated into the soul of Hindu community in Bali.IntisariMakna sanksi upacara patiwangi adalah menurunkan derajat, kehormatan, keharuman wangsa dari perempuan yang memiliki wangsa brahmana, ksatria, dan weisya. Upacara patiwangi mengandung pelecehan baik dari segi sebutan istilah maupun pelaksaan upacara patiwangi. Oleh karena itu sudahsepantasnya upacara patiwangi dihapus, karena tidak sesuai dengan nilai-nilai kesetaraan, nilai-nilai kemanusiaan, nilai-nilai keadilan, dan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian upacara patiwangi masih tetap dilakukan oleh masyarakat Hindu karena merasa yakin sanksi upacara patiwangi akan membawa keseimbangan dan kebaikan bagi pelaku perkawinan antar-wangsa. Upacara patiwangi sudah menjadi budaya hukum hukum bagi sebagian masyarakat Hindu di Bali.
THE ABSOLUTE COMPETENCE OF THE JURISDICTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COURT IN A DISPUTE WHOSE OBJECT IS A FICTIVE-POSITIVE KTUN
Authors: Harjiyatni Francisca Romana
Published: December 2017

AbstractBased on the Law on Administrative Court, the Administrative Court has the competence to examine and decide upon a dispute whose object is a fictive- negative decision (KTUN). After the enactment of the Law No. 30 of 2014 on Government Administration, the Administrative Court has the competence to examine and decide a dispute whose object is a fictive positive KTUN. The provision of the positive decision in the Law No. 30 of 2014 provides fairer legal protection to both procedural justice and substantive justice. However, the force power of the court to execute decision remains low. Consequently, a fair legal protection to the dispute of positive KTUN per the Law No. 30 of 2014 is not optimal.IntisariBerdasarkan UU PTUN, PTUN mempunyai kewenangan untuk memeriksa dan memutus sengketa yang obyeknya KTUN fiktif negatif. Setelah berlakunya UU No. 30 Tahun 2014 tentang Administrasi Pemerintahan, PTUN mempunyai kewenangan memeriksa dan memutus sengketa yang obyeknya KTUN fiktif positif. Ketentuan KTUN fiktif positif dalam UU No. 30 Tahun 2014 lebih memberikan perlindungan hukum yang adil baik keadilan prosedural maupun keadilan substansial, namun dalam hal daya paksa pelaksanaan masih rendah maka perlindungan hukum yang adil dalam sengketa KTUN fiktif positif berdasarkan UU No. 30 Tahun 2014 menjadi tidak optimal.

We examined the attentional bias between guilt and innocence in a concealed information test using a dot-probe task. The participants were 20 individuals in a guilty group, who were told they had committed a crime, 21 individuals in an innocent group, who were told they had not committed
a crime, and 19 individuals in an informed-innocent group, who were told they had not committed a crime but who were given crime-relevant information. Participants in the guilty group were instructed to try to deceive the examiner so that their crime would not be detected, whereas those in
the 2 innocent groups were told to be open and frank. The avoidance response of the guilty group was much stronger than that of the 2 innocent groups at an exposure duration of 1,250 ms. We also confirmed that a group not involved in a criminal act, but with crime-relevant information, could
be distinguished effectively at an exposure duration of 1,250 ms. Thus, it is possible to distinguish between not only the guilty versus innocent group, but also the guilty group versus the innocent group with crime-related information.
“DO WHAT IS RIGHT, COME WHAT MAY”: A CROSS-COUNTRY STUDY ON CHARITY
Authors: Groba Felipe Insunza
Published: December 2017

This article investigates the motivations behind charitable behavior and tries to access the role played by government in influencing its level. Considering impure altruistic models on charity, we regress 2010 cross-country charity data (money donations, volunteered time and help to strangers) on institutional, demographics and economic variables, using SURE, OLS and Fractional Logit estimation procedures. Our econometric tests show institutional and demographic variables are even more relevant than the so-called crowd-out effect from government expenditure in determining charitable behavior. These findings indicate the design of oriented public policy may not be enough for the development of a pro-charity ethos.

Authors: Eder Hector Augustus Santiago , Souza Marcelino De , Nascimento Carlos Alves do
Published: December 2017

Estudos apontam para a ocorrência de um boom agrícola no Brasil com reflexos também no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o perfil da apropriação da renda agrícola total nos tipos de famílias rurais, em que pelo menos um membro da família estava ocupado em atividades agrícolas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul nos anos de 2002 e 2009. Para tal, utilizam-se os microdados das Pesquisas Nacionais por Amostra de Domicílios (PNADs) com a decomposição dos efeitos da apropriação da renda agrícola. A apropriação da renda agrícola ocorreu na agricultura familiar, porém com uma diferenciação social importante. Conclui-se que as políticas públicas, especialmente de crédito, promoveram a continuidade do processo de especialização das atividades agrícolas e de integração intersetorial.
EMPREGO E DESIGUALDADE DE RENDIMENTOS NO BRASIL: UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DA ESTRUTURA DE OCUPAÇÕES
Authors: Martins Juliana Jacobowiski , Cunha Marina Silva da
Published: December 2017

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir o emprego e a desigualdade de rendimentos entre as ocupações, buscando identificar também diferenças entre homens e mulheres na estrutura de emprego. Considerando-se a reestruturação ocorrida na Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio (PNAD) em 2002, com base na Classificação Brasileira das Ocupações (CBO), as informações desse ano são comparadas às de 2012. O emprego se alterou entre as ocupações, com destaque, de um lado, para o crescimento daqueles ocupados nas ciências e artes e, de outro lado, para a queda do emprego dos trabalhadores agrícolas. Na análise individual de cada determinante, os resultados da pesquisa sugerem queda da desigualdade como um todo e da parcela explicada pela ocupação, que se firma como um dos principais determinantes da desigualdade de rendimentos no Brasil. As mulheres possuem os menores rendimentos e níveis de desigualdade, e, entre as ocupações, há diferenciais maiores entre elas que entre os homens. Por fim, é possível constatar que a queda dos diferenciais de rendimento entre as ocupações ocorreu devido à melhoria em outros determinantes, como a maior homogeneidade no capital humano dos indivíduos, que ficaram mais qualificados, e às quedas dos diferenciais intersetoriais e entre homens e mulheres.
