Authors: Adaranijo Modinat Jolade , Bach Christian
Published: March 2018

Ovarian cancer continues to be one of the deadliest and lethal form of gynecological cancer affecting younger and older woman. Understanding various factors that could lead to ovarian cancer and how they are able to drive its progression, metastasis and survival might help in its treatment and prevention. This paper aims to review different risk factors both genetic and environmental that could lead to the development of ovarian cancer and their mechanism of action. The research methods used in this study follows the principles outlined by [1]. It is a comprehensive literature review on ovarian cancer risk factor. The role of genetics and environmental risk factors in ovarian carcinogenesis and their mechanism of action created a theoretical foundation of the paper. A new model is presented to encapsulate highly dynamic interaction between ovarian carcinogenesis and the mechanism of action of some associated risk factors. The contribution of the study is intended to review and summarize the theoretical and empirical knowledge that should inspire new discussions and directions for further research activity. The model highlights various factors that can trigger the development of ovarian cancer namely; TP53, BRCA genes, Cigarette smoke and Talc powder and how they are able to promote ovarian cancer. Various have been done about how mutation of certain genes and some environmental factors could lead to ovarian carcinogenesis. However, more research is needed to further understand how their mechanism of action. The content of this paper will be useful in devising a better screening, treatment and preventive measure towards the ovarian cancer. This study provides an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge of ovarian cancer to efficiently aid medical practitioners and researchers to device better prevention and treatment plan to combat ovarian cancer.
The Relationship between Instructor Servant Leadership Behaviors and Satisfaction With Instructors in an Online Setting
Authors: Sahawneh Faris George , Benuto Lorraine T
Published: March 2018

Servant leadership has the potential to improve student satisfaction with online learning. However, the relationship between servant leadership and student satisfaction in an online environment had not yet been understood at the level of the individual instructor. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to evaluate the relationship between online students’ perception of their instructor’s servant leadership style and the student’s satisfaction with the online instructor. We selected 155 online students at a major community college in the south-central United States to complete the Servant Leadership Questionnaire and the Student Evaluation of Teaching survey online. We examined the relationships between each of the five facets of perceived servant leadership style (altruistic calling, emotional healing, wisdom, persuasive mapping, and organizational stewardship) and student satisfaction. The results of the Spearman’s correlations showed a strong positive correlation between all servant leadership behaviors and student satisfaction, p < .001. A multiple linear regression analysis showed that the combination of altruistic calling, persuasive mapping, and wisdom strongly predicted student satisfaction with the instructor, F(3, 151) = 83.8, p < .001, R2= .63. The results of this study have filled a gap in the literature on the relationship between online student satisfaction and individual servant leadership behaviors. We recommend future research to investigate servant leadership in relationship to online learning at 4-year public, for-profit, and private institutions.
An Online Engagement Framework for Higher Education

Published: March 2018

Student engagement is understood to be an important benchmark and indicator of the quality of the student experience for higher education; yet the term engagement continues to be elusive to define and it is interpreted in different ways in the literature. This paper firstly presents a short review of the literature regarding online engagement in the higher education environment, moving beyond discipline-specific engagement. It then presents a conceptual framework which builds upon recurring themes within the literature, including students’ beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours. The framework was developed by adopting a constant comparison method to analyse the literature, and to search for and identify current and emerging themes. The framework identifies indicators for five key elements of online engagement, and the authors propose that the framework provides a guide for researchers and academics when exploring online engagement from a conceptual, practical and research basis. Finally, the paper provides recommendations for practice, outlining how the framework might be used to reflect critically upon the effectiveness of online courses and their ability to engage students.
No Significant Difference - Unless you are a Jumper
Authors: Fendler Richard J , Ruff Craig , Shrikhande Milind
Published: March 2018

Much of the e-education literature suggests that there is no significant difference in aggregate student learning outcomes between online and face-to-face instruction. In this study, we develop a model that forecasts the grade that individual students would have most likely earned in the alternate class setting. Students for whom the difference between the actual grade received in one class format (for example, online) and the forecasted grade in the other class setting (for example, face-to-face) is one full letter grade or higher are called “jumpers.” Our findings indicate that jumpers are numerous, suggesting that whereas no significant difference may exist between instruction settings at the aggregate level, at the individual level, the choice between settings matters. These results have important implications for the no significant difference literature and strongly support the need for refined course setting advisement for students.
Examining the Reliability and Validity of a Turkish Version of the Community of Inquiry Survey
Authors: OLPAK Yusuf Ziya , KILIÇ ÇAKMAK Ebru
Published: March 2018

The aim of this study was to describe the validity and reliability of a Turkish language version of the CoI survey developed by Arbaugh et al. (2008). Adaptation of the survey into Turkish is described. Data was obtained from 1150 students who study in different departments and take courses through online learning. The data were randomly divided into two parts: the first part was subjected to exploratory factor analysis; the second part underwent confirmatory factor analysis. Three-factor structures of the CoI framework explained 75.28% of the variance in the pattern of relationships among the items using the first split-half sample. All three presences had high reliabilities (teaching presence = .965, social presence = .953, and cognitive presence = .972). The three-factor structure of the CoI framework with teaching, social, and cognitive presences confirmed the validity of the Turkish version of the CoI survey.

We use regional variation in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (2009-2012) to analyze the effect of government spending on consumer spending. Our consumption data come from household-level retail purchases in the Nielsen scanner data and auto purchases from Equifax credit balances. We estimate that a $1 increase in county-level government spending increases local non-durable consumer spending by $0.29 and local auto spending by $0.09. We translate the regional consumption responses to an aggregate fiscal multiplier using a multiregional, New Keynesian model with heterogeneous agents, incomplete markets, and trade linkages. Our model is consistent with the estimated positive local multiplier, a result that distinguishes our incomplete markets model from models with complete markets. At the zero lower bound, the aggregate consumption multiplier is twice as large as the local multiplier because trade linkages propagate the effect of government spending across regions.
Ujuum paayalchi’ ‘El sonido de los rezos’: nuevas perspectivas para el estudio de los discursos rituales mayas, sus cualidades vocálicas y sus variaciones.
Authors: Vapnarsky Valentina , Barras Claude , Becquey Cedric
Published: March 2018

Este artículo presenta nuevas perspectivas y herramientas para el estudio de las características sonoras de los discursos rituales mayas yucatecos. La metodología expuesta es el fruto de un trabajo interdisciplinario entre antropología lingüística y tratamiento automatizado de la voz en ingeniería informática. Esta colaboración permitió desarrollar análisis sistemáticos de la estructura temporal vocal de enunciados rituales del maya yucateco, con la creación de un programa de segmentación automática dedicado a esa lengua. Las segmentaciones automáticas se usaron para la medición de los cambios de tempo, de la duración de los grupos de soplo, así como para examinar su relación con la estructura textual. Con estas nuevas herramientas, se pueden verificar hipótesis relativas a los diferentes niveles de variabilidad constitutivos de los discursos rituales mayas, así como al papel que cumplen las variaciones vocales en la eficacia ritual. Se espera así contribuir a una comprensión más holística y multimodal de la acción y los discursos rituales y, a la vez, aportar nuevos datos comparativos (entre géneros discursivos y entre lenguas) para el entendimiento más general de los fenómenos de ritmicidad enunciativa. Original recibido: 2016/12/11Dictamen enviado al autor: 2017/11/07Aceptado: 2017/11/09

The development of era requires people to move forward. One of them is the progress in the field of business that requires additional funding from the Bank. Extension of credit by the Bank generally will be accompanied by additional collateral in the form of movable or immovable objects. Collateral with moving objects is referred to as fiduciary collateral. Article 23 paragraph (2) of the Fiduciary Law No. 42 of 1999 states that the Giver of Fiduciary may not assign, pledge, or lease to another party objects into objects that do not constitute Fiduciary inventory objects, except with the prior written consent of the Beneficiary of Fiduciary . In fact, there are debtors who transfer their objects of collateral that resulted in losses to the Bank. Based on the gap between the das Sein and the das Solen, then it can be formulated problems of how the protection of the rights of creditors in the case of the transfer of collateral objects by the debtors to a third party and what legal actions can be taken by the creditors in the event of the objects of fiduciary collateral are transferred to any third parties by the debtors at the time of execution of the fiduciary security object.

Social Media and the Political Campaign Industry in Indonesia
Authors: Saraswati Muninggar Sri
Published: March 2018

The use of social media has been expanding rapidly that it recently overwhelmed not only players in Indonesian electoral and political scenes but also general public. While previous studies appeared to put an emphasis on the technological forces (that is, the social media), the political forces (the political parties, politicians or candidates) or cultural forces (the voters or social media users) alone to understand the development, this article argues that the use of social media in electoral campaigning requires mediation by economic forces as represented by the political campaign industry. Based on a series of in-depth interviews with key politicians, campaigners, social media users and media people, the involvement of the political campaign industry in the commodification of social media is found.  Such a commodification has resulted in the emergence of buzzing, social media users mobilization and social media monitoring.
An interference risk–based approach for naval vessels
Authors: Van der Ven Cornelis J.J. , Leferink Frank
Published: March 2018

Price development of naval ships has forced the industry to search for smarter solutions. Until recently this was not possible because the rule based approach demanded the use of maritime Eletromagnetic Compatibility Standards (EMC) that focused on equipment level. With the new Lloyd’s Naval Register EMC Rules (Register, 2016), a modern risk-based approach can be followed. This enables the use of commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) equipment, which is more cost-effective than dedicated maritime equipment, by using the ship’s structure and the installation as protection. This paper explains how these new Lloyd’s Naval EMC rules can be applied for modern naval shipbuilding.

Posterior Shoulder Tightness: To Treat or Not to Treat?
Authors: Hall Kevin , Borstad John D.
Published: March 2018

Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint that is difficult to treat because of the biomechanical complexity of the shoulder region, the interplay between mobility and stability, and the vital role played by the shoulder in moving, positioning, and providing stability for hand function. Despite advances in biomechanics and pain science, there is still much to learn about how impairments influence shoulder function and health. One impairment, posterior shoulder tightness (PST), is often noted in individuals with shoulder pain and consequently has generated much discussion and debate in recent years. Range-of-motion shifts and deficits are the clinical indicators of PST, with 3 tissue alterations potentially contributing to these modifications: (1) increased humeral retrotorsion (retroversion), (2) reduced posterior glenohumeral joint capsule extensibility, and (3) reduced posterior shoulder muscle/tendon extensibility. The significance of each alteration for shoulder function and the interaction among them remain unclear. It is also unknown if, or to what extent, these impairments can be resolved through interventions. This raises a clinically relevant and straightforward question: when PST is present, should we treat or not treat? In this Viewpoint, we will debate this question and propose that physical therapy interventions have the potential to improve only 1 of the 3 tissue alterations contributing to PST.

Physical Therapy Rehabilitation of an Adolescent Preprofessional Dancer Following Os Trigonum Excision: A Case Report
Authors: Filipa Alyson , Barton Kelli
Published: March 2018

Study Design

Case report.

Background

An os trigonum can be a source of pain for dancers due to impingement during repetitive ankle plantar flexion movements. Following excision of an os trigonum, it is important to have a gradual, progressive return-to-dance program for optimal recovery. The purpose of this case report is to describe the postoperative management and return-to-dance progression of an adolescent dancer post os trigonum excision.

Case Description

An adolescent preprofessional female dancer had an extensive history of left posterior heel pain, beginning at age 8, that led to surgical removal of an os trigonum at age 15. Post surgery, the patient was seen for a total of 22 visits over the course of 20 weeks. Treatment included therapeutic exercises, neuromuscular re-education, and manual therapy. Return-to-dance tests and guidelines were used to safely progress to full, unrestricted dance participation.

Outcomes

The dancer had a full return of ankle range of motion, strength, and balance, improved patient-reported outcome scores, and was able to fully return to dance participation.

Discussion

Treating a dancer following os trigonum excision should involve a screen for hypermobility, clear communication with the dance instructor, awareness of dance-specific biomechanics, and proper reintegration into dance participation.

Imaging Helps Guide Physical Therapy Treatment in a Patient With Diffuse Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma)
Authors: Curley Rosemarie A. , Markowski Alycia
Published: March 2018

A 50-year-old woman with an 8-year history of diffuse systemic sclerosis, a form of scleroderma, was referred by her rheumatologist to physical therapy for decreased finger range of motion (ROM) and pain that adversely affected her dexterity and ability to perform activities of daily living. To determine whether joint mobilization would be appropriate for this patient, posterior-to-anterior and modified lateral radiographs of both hands were requested by the physical therapist. Images showed significant bone loss in the distal phalanges of both thumbs and in the left third and fourth digits, and calcinosis in the tips of both thumbs. Because metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint spaces appeared normal, except for a slight narrowing of the right fifth distal interphalangeal joint, joint mobilization, which would have been contraindicated by bone or joint destruction, was considered appropriate to help increase ROM.

Aim: This study aimed to provide a new line for treatment of onychomycosis. Patients and methods: A randomized
double blind interventional cohort prospective effectiveness trial, in which 66 patients with onychomycosis were
recruited after their written consent was obtained. Patients on local or systemic treatment or with coexisting
inflammatory skin disease were excluded. TTO efficacy in treatment of onychomycosis was evaluated by application of
100% TTO for 6 months with pre and post treatment nail culturing. Results: After 6 months treatment with TTO, 27% of
patients were completely cured, 65% were partially cured and 8% had no response according to appearance of the index
nail (the nail with the greatest fungal burden at the time of entry into the study). Calculation of P value by Chi-Square
test, it equal 0.001 which is highly significant. Conclusion: TTO may play a role in treatment of onychomycosis without
side effects of medications or surgical hazards caused by surgery.

Success indicator in airplane design process is depended on success or not in wing design process. Wing design process was supported by many design variable and the final result was compromise one from many scientific science or specialist. The first step in airplane wing design after design requirement & objective (DR&O) was defined, is determining wing planform through parametric study. Parametric study was conducted to make sure that all design parameters have been considered especially for aerodynamic and structural aspect. This paper discuses the influence of glove and yehudi changes and also apex location movement with respect to aerodynamic characteristic of the wing. Additional of the glove was intended to compensate yehudi existent due to structural aspect mainly for landing gear placement. Disadvantage of aerodynamics aspect due to yehudi existent is expected will be overcome by additional of glove. Apex location is also important parameter to control the shape of pressure coeffient of wing profile. Apex location can be moved according to sensitivity of designer to achieve design target. For the whole, it can be said that glove and yehudi and also apex location can be isolated its influence to major variable design namely to wing profile pressure distribution. The computer program used in this analysis is integration of the program for wing geometry generation, paneling process and computational fluid dynamic code (CFD), in this case VSAERO, and by author it is called NWDU.

A abordagem HFC por meio de estudos de casos históricos: Propostas didáticas para o Ensino de Química
Authors: Barbosa Flavio Tajima , Aires Joanez Aparecida
Published: March 2018

A História e a Filosofia da Ciência oferecem oportunidades para os alunos realizarem estudos de caso, por meio do exame de eventos históricos relevantes ou explorando algo da história pessoal dos cientistas ou de suas descobertas. Por meio da História da Ciência, os professores podem promover debates com os alunos sobre a Natureza da Ciência (NdC), entrelaçando as discussões com os conteúdos propriamente científicos. No entanto, o desafio que se apresenta aos professores é como abordá-los de modo que sejam atraentes aos alunos. Dessa maneira, o presente trabalho teve como objeto realizar um levantamento de artigos que apresentassem propostas didáticas que abordassem a História da Ciência no Ensino de Química. Foram consultados dez periódicos nacionais da área de Ensino de Ciências. A variedade de propostas didáticas permite concluir que o cenário nacional mostra-se bastante promissor em relação à abordagem HFC no Ensino de Química, revelando como o tema pode ser inserido em sala de aula.

Este artigo apresenta em seus estudos da história da química que abordam o ensino de química paracompreender a constituição da química como uma disciplina. E nesse contexto, é apresentado as variedades deensino associadas a ‘’química ensinada’’ e a ‘’química investigada’’ na universidade argentina (1823-1929). Paraele centramos em analises no laboratório, os experimentos e o vinculo que se estabeleceu entre a docênciaordinária e a investigação. O estudo deixa visível que existiu uma certa preocupação em promover a instalação de laboratórios e um ensino de caracter experimental; e que passasse de uma ‘’quimica ensinada’’ para uma‘’química investigada’’ supondo o surgimento de um novo tipo de ensino destinado a formar investigadores. Comisso se constituiu a figura acadêmica do professor-investigador e a do investigador com uma dedicação exclusivasem uma docência ordinária.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) and Human Imuunodeficiency Virus (HIV) co-infection has detrimental effects on both the individual and the health care system especially in resource limited countries like India. Tuberculosis ranks among the most common cause of death in HIV patients. In this review we have analysed the clinical and immunological characteristicsof HIV-TB coinfected patients and their clinical outcomes.Aims and Objectives: To assess the co-relation between socio-demographic characteristics, clinical and immunological Profile of HIV-TB co-infected patients and the clinical outcome.Materials and Methods: A retrospective clinical study of patient records at the Centre of Excellence for anti-retroviral therapy was done. The records of HIV-TB co-infected patients were collected and data extracted pertaining to the socio- demographic characteristics, clinical profiles and outcomes.Results: Among the 377 cases included as per criteria, 76.9 % completed the treatment for TB while 23.1% patients died before treatment completion. Twenty-nine point seven percent of the patient population constituted women, while 0.5% was transgenders. Regarding the pattern of tuberculosis, 58.4% patients had extra pulmonary TB while 39.5% and 2.1% of the study population were diagnosed as pulmonary and disseminated TB respectively. Mean baseline CD4 count was 191 cells/mm3 and the mean CD4 count during first and second follow up were 298 and 362 cells/mm3 respectively. There was a statistically significant correlation noted with poor clinical outcomes and low baseline CD4 counts.Conclusion: Age, gender, the clinical pattern of tuberculosis and the treatment category did not have a statistically significant association on the outcome. We found that the TB associated mortality in HIV co-infected patients had a direct correlation with the stage of HIV at presentation as there was a strongly significant association between low CD4 counts and adverse clinical outcomes.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(2) 2018 19-24

Background: Hypobaric hypoxia refers to lower oxygen availability at high altitudes and is the cause of high altitude illness. Drugs such as acetazolamide and dexamethasone provide symptomatic relief and are associated with undesired side effects. Plant extracts such as Hypericum perforatum, which are documented to have neuromodulatory role can be more beneficial in ameliorating high altitude illness. Aims and Objective: Progressive cognitive decline is the hallmark characteristic of hypobaric hypoxia induced neuropathology attributed to ensuing oxidative stress and subsequent hippocampal damage. We have explored the efficacy of ethanolic extracts of Hypericum perforatum in amelioration of hypobaric hypoxia induced oxidative stress and associated behavioral deficits in mice.Material and Methods: Male Balb/c mice were exposed to simulated altitude of 25,000 ft. for 7 days (6 hr. per day) in a specially designed chamber. Ethanolic extract of Hypericum perforatum (HPE)(25mg/kg of body weight) was given orally prior to hypoxia exposure and effects were compared to hypoxia and control groups.Results: Animals exposed to hypobaric hypoxia showed sign of cognitive deterioration at day 3 and day 7 in the Elevated Plus Maze and Passive Avoidance Step through behavioral paradigms as compare to normoxic animals. Administration of HPE was able to alleviate the amnesic effect in treatment group, indicated by reduction in transfer latencies at day 3(IR-3 = -0.66±0.07) and day 7 IR-7 = -0.81±0.06) in elevated plus maze task and increased passive avoidance step through latency at day 3, (IR-3 = 3.23±0.67),as compared to ±hypoxic mice. Hypoxia group of animals suffered significant oxidative stress compared to normoxic mice as indicated by up-regulated malondialdehyde and total nitrite levels in hippocampal homogenates. The plasma lactate dehydrogenase activity was also increased following hypoxia indicating tissue damage. Co-treatment with HPE in simulated hypobaric hypoxia insult for seven days resulted in significant reduction in malondialdehyde, total nitrites and plasma LDH levels in animals.Conclusion: Hypericum perforatum extract improves cognitive performance in hypobaric hypoxia exposed mice with a concomitant reduction in oxidative stress burden suggesting its plausible use for preventing high altitude illness.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(2) 2018 1-8
