Published: December 2018

Introduction: Cancer is one of the non-communicable diseases and a major cause of mortality in recent decades. Studies have shown that there is a relationship between lifestyle and cancer; therefore it is necessary to identify and modify the life style to prevent cancer. This study was conducted to determine the lifestyle of people in relation to cancer prevention in Yazd in 2014.
Methods: This descriptive- cross sectional study was conducted on 500 people in Yazd through cluster sampling method. Data were collected by questionnaire in 7 dimensions and its validity and reliability were confirmed. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-16, T-test, and ANOVA tests.
Results: According to the results, the mean of all dimensions of lifestyle, except in exercise and physical activity dimension, was higher than the mean of possible range. The findings show that married people had a significantly higher score in nutrition habits and single people had in physical activity and exercise dimension. People with a BMI of less than 20 (underweight people) had worse status than others in terms of mental health, physical health and exercise and physical activity. Moreoevr, people had higher scores in physical activity and exercise dimension with higher level of education. Furthermore, students had significantly higher scores in physical activity and exercise dimension and unemployed people received the lowest score in this dimension. People who were homeowner had higher scores in mental health, physical health.
Conclusion: Overall, people's lifestyle was relatively favorable in cancer prevention in various dimensions. Furthermore, planning to increase public awareness about risk factors of cancer and support of healthy lifestyle by focusing on a diet high in vegetables, fruit, fiber, dairy products, antioxidant, low amounts of meat, taking antioxidants, and appropriate physical activity should be used as a part of primary prevention.
KONSEP BID’AH HASANAH (Perpspektif Maqashid Al-Syathibi dan Ibnu ‘Asyur)
Authors: Anshari Zaidan
Published: December 2018

Bid’ah is the classic issue but stil actual to be discussed. It is caused by the classification of bid’ah term into two kinds still presents the polemic till this era. The different opinion about this concept is unsolved yet. Adherent of bid’ah hasanah and  repellent of it have argument each other. Principle of their argument may comes from hadis perpective, sahabah perspective (attitude of sahabah), language perspective, and also ushul fiqh perspective. This perspective (ushul fiqh) is the most difficult instrument to understand the substance of hadis, especially the hadis which talk about bid’ah. But there is the chapter of ushul fiqh which talk about the purpose of syariah, it called by maqashid syariah. From this perspective we can try to explain the concept of bid’ah hasanah. There are two most popular theory of maqashid syariah from two figures of different period. Al-syathibi and Ibnu ‘Asyur, talk in detail of maqashid syariah. From their theory, the concept of bid’ah hasanah can result the different view. Al-Syathibi’s theory refuses explicitly the concept of bid’ah hasanah. Whereas in the Ibnu ‘Asyur’s theory of maqashid, this concept still has chances to be justified. This article will try to research this concept from these two perspectives.
GAUTIER H.A JUYNBOLL’S PERSPECTIVE ON ‘ADĀLAḦ AL-ṢAḤĀBAH
Authors: Wafi Mahmud
Published: December 2018

Ṣaḥābaḧ is the first generation who believe to the Prophet Muḥammad [p.b.u.h] and accepted the teachings of Islām (the ḥadīts of the Prophet) directly from Him. They are very obedient to the Prophet so that they may not dare to betray and lie intentionally in the narration of ḥadīts. They are ‘adil generally. Muslims believe that whole companions have ‘adālaḧ quality, which is famous by a dictum: kullu ṣaḥābaḧ ‘udūl. Furthermore, this belief has come as something approved theologically. This concept becomes stronger when the hadith criticism, traditional scholars are more oriented sanad which has implications for the placement of narrators personality in a position that can not be ignored. This is clearly different from Juynboll, he is one of the Orientalists who came from Netherland who developed the theory of common linkThe conclusion of this research that Juynboll denies the method of hadith criticism. He claims that this theory occurred in the evolutive schema, and is the creation of muḥaddits. On the other hand, the author views that the denial of Juynboll for collective ta‘dīl is one of the instruments to strengthen the theory of common link.

Hypertension is one of the disease is not contagious diseases which is a public health problem. Uncontrolled Hypertension can trigger a degenerative diseases such as congestive heart failure, renal failure and vascular disease. Hypertension is called the silent killer because his nature the condition is asymptomatic and can cause a fatal stroke. With the increasing prevalence of cases of degenerative diseases, one only hypertension, then the researchers want to predict the variables very big role as one of the risk factors of Genesis hypertension. With clearly know the risk factors that play against genesis hypertension is expected to be used as a reference for the prevention and control so that they can reduce the prevalence of hypertension and prevent deaths from degenerative diseases, especially hypertension. The results of the study showed that the results of the modeling the prevalence of hypertension in South Kalimantan Province using linier regression there is no factor that affect the genesis of hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension spread spatially because there are heterogenitas between the location of the observation that means that observations of a location depends on the observations in another location that the distance is near so do spatial regression modeling with Adaptive Gaussian kernel function, meghasilkan 5 groups. Group I consists of the districts Tanah Laut and Tanah Bumbu; group II, Kota Baru; Group III consists of Banjar, Kota Banjar Baru, Kota Banjarmasin; Group IV on the Barito Kuala Regency and the Group V consists of Tapin, H S Selatan, H S Tengah, H S Utara, Tabalong, Balangan.

Published: December 2018

La educación básica es la encargada de consolidar las estructuras del sistema educativo. En gran parte del mundo los países han hecho esfuerzos importantes en materia de cobertura y en mayor medida aquellos orientados a mejorar su calidad.  No obstante, cada vez más la calidad de la educación viene haciendo protagonista en los debates en este campo, desde los enfoques de desarrollo social y económico especialmente. De este modo, el presenta artículo de investigación muestra la relación de dichas políticas en España y Colombia, como una forma de reconocer elementos comunes y divergentes.  El texto hace parte del proyecto de una amplia investigación titulada políticas de calidad de la educación básica primaria en Colombia (1994 – 2015) y utiliza como horizonte metodológico el paradigma cualitativo.  Los resultados revelan que la calidad de la educación es un concepto asociado a las metas de aprendizaje, que desde el modelo de competencias se traduce en lo que se espera deba saber y saber hacer un estudiante luego de su escolaridad, lo cual debe ser evaluado a nivel interno y externo.
Walter Benjamin y la memoria de la Comuna

Published: December 2018

El texto breve de Walter Benjamin sobre la Comuna de París, incluido en las notas de su libro inconcluso sobre París en el siglo XIX, aún sigue siendo enigmático. ¿Qué significó la insurrección popular de 1871 para el emigrado alemán de los años treinta?, ¿cómo actúan la memoria colectiva y las pasiones sociales en un momento de agitación política, como la de lashuelgas de 1936? Después de Marx, Bakunin y Michel, con Lenin y Luxembugo, y antes de Lefebvre, Debord y Ross, ¿qué lecciones aprendió Benjamin de la Comuna para los próximosmovimientos sociales?

Published: December 2018

The Caucasian war had a significant impact on both the internal and the external migration situation in Dagestan. First noticeable negative impact made war on internal seasonal movement of highlanders to the plains to exchange goods, livestock and handicrafts, and seasonal movements of the relatively large proportion of the adult male population in search of work to the plains of Dagestan. One of the consequences of the national liberation movement 1820–1850s of the mountaineers of Dagestan there was a mass migration of highlanders who did not want to participate in the Caucasian war in the Caucasus. The most severe effects were villagers caught in the crossfire. Military operations and their accompanying destruction of villages, forced inhabitants to move to other areas, the result of forced migration have changed the boundaries of the settlement of peoples.
THE FORMATION OF THE INSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM OF THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF LA FRANCOPHONIE
Authors: NALETOVA Darina Vladimirovna
Published: December 2018

We examine questions of historical formation of the International Organization of La Francophonie as an institutional system (1950–1980). The characterization and analysis of the initial stages of the International Organization of La Francophonie institutionalization allows a better understanding of its historical and modern ideological principles. It is noted that the world system of Francophonie begins to take shape in the middle of the 20th century. We analyze various projects for the creation of the International Organization of La Francophonie, which influenced the legal structure of the organization, its traditions, as well as relations with french-speaking states and other linguistic associations (International Association of French-Speaking Journalists and Press, The Union of French Culture, The Conference of Ministers of National Education of French-Speaking States, etc.). It shows the importance of both Western European and African countries and their political leaders in the development of the Francophonie project as an international organization, as well as the leading role of France. It is noted that the whole Francophone space became the springboard of the Union’s actions, and the goal was to protect and spread the French language and Francophone culture in the world. We conclude that the process of institutionalization of the International Organization of La Francophonie has played a huge role in maintaining the status of the French language and the role of France in the global space.

Authors: PERVOVA Galina Mikhaylovna
Published: December 2018

Philological training of primary school teachers and teachers of the Russian language and literature involves the integration of knowledge from several disciplines: Studies of Literature, Linguistics, Teaching Methods, courses on speech culture, workshop on expressive reading and others. The task of training future teachers at the university is to combine these subjects in the process of forming the competence of a comprehensive analysis of the text. This problem is the subject of our research. School and university types of literary text analysis are considered, the role of the integrative approach to the text in the preparation of the teacher for the lessons of literary reading at school is shown. The complex analysis of the work of art, perceived as a teaching material, requires the teacher of literary characteristics of the components of content and form in the relationship, linguistic examination of the text on the availability of the language of the work to modern students, performance analysis to establish the norms of expressive reading of the work, methodical analysis, selection of types, methods and techniques of working with the text, taking into account its literary specificity, finally, the complex analysis of the proposed reader’s interpretation of the text, which can offer students a certain class and level of training in the classroom. In connection with this set of analytical, intellectual skills of the teacher complex analysis is an important form of professional development of the future and the novice teacher.
Fronteira, biografia – biogeografias – como episteme descolonial para (trans)bordar corpos em artes da cena
Authors: Bessa-Oliveira Marcos Antônio
Published: December 2018

A arte no ocidente está assentada na colonialidade edificada na matriz de poder com pretensões universalistas. Teorias/teóricos ainda tratam das produções artísticas brasileiras como as produzidas na Europa ou Estados Unidos: importando e aplicando conceitos dos “centros no ocidente”. Este trabalho quer discutir, como proposta descolonial para corpos artísticos brasileiros, uma opção outra de estética – Estética Bugresca – que oportunize descolonizar corpos artísticos biogeográficos de lugares fora do contexto ocidental dos discursos hegemônicos na arte e na cultura.

Este artigo apresenta o desempenho térmico de diferentes coberturas vegetadas aplicadas em um edifício de escritórios na cidade de Pelotas-RS, Zona Bioclimática Brasileira 2, observando, a partir do comportamento dos fechamentos opacos e transparentes, a contribuição das diferentes soluções vegetadas para o plano horizontal. O edifício condicionado artificialmente possui 187,50 m², configurando seis zonas térmicas, e foi simulado no software Energy Plus 8.4.0. Como alternativas às coberturas vegetadas – configuradas em quatro alturas de substrato – foram utilizados outros três modelos de cobertura: fibrocimento com laje de 10 cm em concreto – com e sem isolamento térmico de poliestireno extrudado – e fibrocimento com superfície externa pintada de branco.  O estudo buscou determinar qual dessas coberturas é a mais eficiente energeticamente, através da avaliação dos resultados do consumo de energia e da análise do fluxo térmico no edifício. A cobertura vegetada de maior espessura de substrato (50 cm) apresentou melhor resultado, com consumo energético de 84,3 kWh/m2.ano. Já a cobertura de laje com telha de fibrocimento convencional foi responsável pelo maior dispêndio energético: 103,5 kWh/m2.ano. As coberturas vegetais apresentaram melhor desempenho que as demais em função das elevadas capacidade e resistência térmica e dos aspectos voltados a evapotranspiração e consequentes trocas de calor latente. Este trabalho almeja contribuir no melhor entendimento do desempenho termoenergético das coberturas vegetadas.

Research on poverty has long been done by various methods and approaches. Approach to identifying the poor in general by calculating consumption expenditure or income reveneu. The calculation is then known as monetary poverty. Indonesia also use and implemented that approach. However, some experts believe that monetary poverty approach does not capture the whole cause of poverty because the indicator calculation not enough. Though poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon that involves not only the economic aspects but involves other aspects. Using secondary data from Indonesian family Life survey, this study proposes to calculate the multidimensional poverty index and estimates the poor based on two approaches, multidimensional poverty and monetary poverty. Calculating the poverty by alkire foster method, whereas to estimate multidimensional poverty and Monetary Poverty using logistic regression. The Results for Alkire-Foter calculation method show that identify of poor by multidimensional poverty greater than the monetary poverty. Generally, the standard of living dimension contributes most to the multidimensional poverty index. Standar living dimention was believed to be the dimension that explains the nature of households that are directly related to the everyday household behavior. Meanwhile, estimation of monetary poverty show that variable consumption per capita, the head of the household sector employment, hours of work, household size and household asset ownership affects the identification of poverty. Only education variable is not significant effect on the identification of poverty. Base on those finding, education has two possibilities to affect poverty one significant affect multidimensional poverty, while for monetery hasn't affect.Keywords: Multidimensional poverty, Monetary Poverty, Alkire-Foster Method, Logistic Regression

Published: December 2018

Practically religion and culture can’t be separated, although in the theoretical sphere they can be separated. Religion can be practiced by its adherents through culture. Basically Religion comes to humans who had been had a culture. Long before the coming of religion, in fact people with their intellect and conscience are able to have a noble culture, which saves each other and is able to create a harmonious life. However, it is precisely in this modern era when humans who claim to reach the peak of advanced culture, it is often a conflict in the name of religion. The birth of religion should be to complete the noble culture, in the contrary, religion and local culture indeed experience tension which trigger conflict sometimes. Humans who only had cultured, can life together in harmony although pre-religions. Unfortunately when there comes aren’t time in which religion and culture have been developed of there life aren’t harmonious. This paper will discuss the relationship between religion and culture in relation to conflict. Analysis of the crisis of modernity which also result in narrow-mindedness cause the emergence of conflic.
In Silico Identification of Conserved MiRNAs from Physcomitrella patens ESTs and their Target Characterization
Authors: Hajieghrari Behzad , Farrokhi Naser , Goliaei Bahram , Kavousi Kaveh
Published: December 2018

Background:

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are groups of small non-protein-coding endogenous
single stranded RNAs with approximately 18-24 nucleotides in length. High evolutionary sequence conservation
of miRNAs among plant species and availability of powerful computational tools allow identification
of new orthologs and paralogs.

Methods:

New conserved miRNAs in P. patens were found by EST-based homology search approaches.
All candidates were screened according to a series of miRNA filtering criteria. Unigene, DFCI Gene
Index (PpspGI) databases and psRNATarget algorithm were applied to identify target transcripts using
P. patens putative conserved miRNA sequences.

Results:

Nineteen conserved P. patens miRNAs were identified. The sequences were homologous to
known reference plant mature miRNA from 10 miRNA families. They could be folded into the typical
miRNA secondary structures. RepeatMasker algorithm demonstrated that ppt-miR2919e and pptmiR1533
had simple sequence repeats in their sequences. Target sites (49 genes) were identified for 7
out of 19 miRNAs. GO and KEGG analysis of targets indicated the involvement of some in important
multiple biological and metabolic processes.

Conclusion:

The majority of the registered miRNAs in databases were predicted by computational approaches
while many more have remained unknown. Due to the conserved nature of miRNAs in plant
species from closely to distantly related, homology search-based approaches between plants species
could lead to the identification of novel miRNAs in other plant species providing baseline information
for further search about the biological functions and evolution of miRNAs.

Published: December 2018

Exertional haematuria is a relatively common reported symptom. We present a case of exercise induced haematuria in a long distance runner with proven hypercalciuria. Our case report highlights that urothelial calcifications in patients with hypercalciuria have the potential to cause traumatic haematuria during high intensity exercise. Whilst diagnostic work up of haematuria still applies, careful attention to the history in this specific group of patents has the potential to avoid further invasive investigations, such as renal biopsies.
A Double Interaction Brush Model for Snow Conditions
Authors: Kusachov Artem , Bruzelius Fredrik , Hjort Mattias , Jacobson Bengt J. H.
Published: December 2018

Commonly used tire models for vehicle-handling simulations are derived from the assumption of a flat and solid surface. Snow surfaces are nonsolid and may move under the tire. This results in inaccurate tire models and simulation results that are too far from the true phenomena.

This article describes a physically motivated tire model that takes the effect of snow shearing into account. The brush tire model approach is used to describe an additional interaction between the packed snow in tire tread pattern voids with the snow road surface. Fewer parameters and low complexity make it suitable for real-time applications.

The presented model is compared with test track tire measurements from a large set of different tires. Results suggest higher accuracy compared with conventional tire models. Moreover, the model is also proven to be capable of correctly predicting the self-aligning torque given the force characteristics.

Authors: Zhou Haichao , Wang Guolin , Wang Yuming
Published: December 2018

The wide-base tire is a relatively new design that originated to replace dual tires because of its potential for improved performance. However, during the construction process, the wide-base tire is more likely to experience tread deformation and uneven stress distribution. The goal of this study is to incorporate numeric techniques for the construction and design optimization of a wide-base, heavy vehicle, pneumatic tire. First, four conditions of the tire (385/55R22.5)–building process, including gluing of components on the main drum, gluing of components on the auxiliary drum, green tire, and finalizing the capsule vulcanizing machine, were simulated using finite element analysis. Second, to solve the difference in the tire's (435/50R19.5) material distribution between the real manufactured structure and the theoretical structure, the curved surface drum-building method and the parameters of the curved surface drum were determined by tire construction simulation. In this article, we present the method for collecting tire material, the measurement process, the analysis method, some general results, and statistics on the wide-base tire. Finally, validation of results of the simulation and measurement are given.
Rangahau and Transformative Leadership
Authors: Rangiwai Byron
Published: December 2018

In this paper, I will argue that for Māori - for whom time is cyclical - looking back and developing leadership models based on the leadership traits and achievements of our ancestors is imperative. Indeed, for Māori, ka mua, ka muri - we walk back into the future. However, how do we re-discover elements of our past through rangahau? McDonald (2017) argues that rangahau, informed by Māori knowledge and a Māori worldview, is a traditional Māori process of inquiry whereby new knowledge can be developed out of old knowledge. This process contains three stages: to search; to investigate; and to determine (McDonald, 2017). This paper will present a prophetic model of leadership based on the critical innovations of Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki that emerge out of one of his nineteenth-century prophecies. This model was developed using the three-stage rangahau process outlined by McDonald (2017).

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a visão dos assentados, moradores de um assentamento rural no Noroeste Paulista, sobre aspectos da atual estrutura sanitária e ambiental. Participaram desta pesquisa 22 famílias que foram entrevistadas utilizando um roteiro com questões para a coleta de dados em 2014 e 2015. Os resultados apontam que os assentados realizam, predominantemente, o descarte do esgoto doméstico em fossas sépticas e a queima dos resíduos sólidos. Utilizam o poço como meio para obtenção de água para consumo, sendo esta consumida sem prévio tratamento. Verificou-se que os assentados quase não possuem conhecimento sobre as doenças de veiculação hídrica e sobre as áreas de Reserva Legal e de Preservação Permanente existentes no assentamento estudado. Esses dados corroboram outros estudos realizados em assentamentos, representando uma grande problemática ambiental e social que precisa ser resolvida pelo poder público em conjunto com a sociedade. ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to analyze the view of settlers, residents of a rural settlement in the Northwest of São Paulo, on aspects of the current sanitary and environmental structure. Twenty-two families were interviewed using a questionnaire to collect data in 201 and 2015. The results indicate that the settlers predominantly do the disposal of domestic sewage in septic tanks and that they burn the solid waste. They use the well to obtain water for consumption, which is consumed without previous treatment. It was verified that the settlers haven´t knowledge about the waterborne diseases and about areas of Legal Reserve and Permanent Preservation existing in the studied settlement. These data corroborate other studies carried out in settlements, representing a great environmental and social problem that needs to be solved by the public power in conjunction with society.

Published: December 2018

The wide variety of waveform in EEG signals and the high non-stationary nature of many of them is one of the main difficulties to develop automatic detection system for them. In sleep stage classification a relevant transient wave is the K-complex. This paper comprehend the developing of two algorithms in order to achieve an automatic K-complex detection from EEG raw data. These algorithms are based on a time-frequency analysis and two time-frequency techniques, the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), are tested in order to find out which one is the best for our purpose, being of two wavelet functions to measure the capability of them to detect K-complex and to choose one to be employed in the algorithms. The first algorithm is based on the energy distribution of the CWT detecting the spectral component of the K-complex. The second algorithm is focused on the morphology of the K-complex / sleep spindle waveform after the CWT. Evaluating the algorithms results reveals that a false K-complex detection is as important as real K-complex detection.
Voronoi diagrams – inventor, method, applications
Authors: Pokojski Wojciech , Pokojska Paulina
Published: December 2018

The article presents the person and works of Georgy Voronoi (1868-1908), the inventor of an original method of diagrams, a student of the famous mathematician Andrey Markov. Georgy Voronoi graduated from the Department of Physics and Mathematics at the University of St. Petersburg, and subsequently worked as a professor of mathematics at the Imperial University of Warsaw. One of his students was the future outstanding Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński. In his brief lifetime G. Voronoi published several important scientific articles on number theory. In an almost 100 page paper in French published in 1908 he described a method of diagrams, or polygons, which became known as the method of Voronoi diagrams. In the digital age this method and its modifications found new applications.

The purpose of the present paper is to find whether the spatial distribution of enterprise support policy funds meet the spatial objectives stated in Czech strategic documents related to enterprise support policy. Are more funds allocated in lagging regions, and does enterprise support policy contribute more to the convergence objective, or are more funds allocated in core regions, and does enterprise support policy contribute more to the competitiveness objective? These questions are answered by evaluating the Structural (and Cohesion) Fund (SF) expenditures that were allocated on operations categorised as part of enterprise support policy (2007-2013). The dependent variable relates to 206 regions, and SF expenditures are calculated for every inhabitant of a region. Moreover, two types of SF operation are distinguished: (a) innovationoriented operations; and (b) other enterprise support operations. Three explanatory variables are defined using Principal Components Analysis (PCA), and these components are understood as: (1) the social disadvantage of regions; (2) the innovation environment of regions; and (3) the quality of regional entrepreneurial environments. The associations between the dependent and explanatory variables are subsequently evaluated by methods of correlation and regression analysis. The findings provide some evidence for both the convergence and competitiveness objectives. Nevertheless, this evidence is rather limited due to a low spatial concentration of SF allocation, and the compensatory effect between the two thematic types of SF operations. Hence, while the quality of their innovation environment has a positive influence on regional SF allocation regardless of the thematic focus of SF operations, socially disadvantaged regions received more funds for SF operations which are not innovation-oriented. The capacity of potential beneficiaries to prepare and submit many project proposals for SF co-financing is the main reason for high or low SF allocation.

The aim of the paper is to evaluate the effects of loose monetary policy on corporate investment of manufacturing firms in the Czech Republic during the period between 2006 and 2015. The main focus of the paper is on the effect of low interest rates on investment activity of Czech firms; additionally, the effects of interactions between interest rate and other firm-specific variables are investigated. The results indicate that corporate investment is positively associated with firm size, investment opportunities, and long term debt. Also, a negative effect of the cash position is found. Further, the findings show that monetary policy is a significant determinant of firm investment activity: when the monetary policy is loose, investment is positively affected. Furthermore, differences in the determinants of investment between highly and low leveraged firms were revealed.

The Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of personal data (GDPR) was enacted in 2016 and applies from 25thMay 2018 in the entire EU. The GDPR is a product of an ambitious reform and represents a direct penetration of the EU law into the legal systems of the EU member states. The EU works on the enhancement of awareness about the GDPR and points out its bright side. However, the GDPR has its dark side as well, which will inevitably have a negative impact. Hence, the goal of this paper is twofold - (i) to scientifically identify, forecast, and analyze selected problematic aspects of the GDPR and its implementation, in particular for Czech municipalities, and (ii) to propose recommendations about how to reduce, or even avoid, their negative impacts. These theoretic analyses are projected to a Czech case study focusing on municipalities, which offers fresh primary data and allows a further refining of the proposed recommendations. An integral part of the performed analyses is also a theoretic forecast of expenses linked to the GDPR, which municipalities will have to include in their mandatory expenses and mid-term prognostic expectations regarding the impact on the budgets of these municipalities from Central Bohemia. The GDPR, like Charon, is at the crossing, the capacity and knowledge regarding its application is critical for operating in the EU in 2018. It is time both to admit that the GDPR has its dark side and to present real and practical recommendations about how to mitigate it.

Introduction. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the factors which can lead to a chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. There have been several reports on the association of oral lichen planus with hepatic disorders, i.e. hepatitis C infection in particular. Considering the controversies about the association of lichen planus with HCV infection on one hand and considerable impact of hepatitis C on the occurrence of chronic liver disease on the other hand, we investigated the association between lichen planus and HCV infection in Sanandaj City. Methods. This cross sectional study included 168 patients with lichen planus, who were referred to the Dermatology Clinic of Besat Hospital between 2014 and 2016. The diagnosis of lichen planus was made by our dermatologist and HCV antibody titer was determined for every patient. Results. Mean age of the patients was 39.7±13.3 years and mean duration of the disease was 14.8 months. 107 (63.7%) patients were men. The highest frequency of lichen planus was recorded in the housewives (30.4%). In 52 (31%) patients the genital area was involved and it was the most common site. In 6 (3.6%) patients the oral mucosa was involved and it was the least common site in our study. Only 4 (2.7%) patients had family history of lichen planus. None of 168 patients included in this study was found to have HCV infection. Conclusion. In this study, we found no relationship between lichen planus and HCV infection. Yet, the exact mechanism underlying the occurrence of lichen planus in the patients with HCV infection has not been determined. Therefore more studies on this subject are recommended.
