Authors: Katic Katarina , Stojadinovic Aleksandra , Mijatovic Vesna , Grujic Marijana
Published: November 2019

Introduction. Acute pediatric poisoning has become an increasingly important
medical emergency. This study was aimed at determining characteristics of
acute poisoning in children and adolescents hospitalized at the Institute of
Child and Youth Health Care of Vojvodina from 2015 to 2017. Material and
Methods. Data were collected from medical records of all patients
hospitalized for suspected acute intoxication at the Institute of Child and
Youth Health Care of Vojvodina during the observed time. Results. This study
included 519 patients hospitalized for suspected exposure to toxic
substances. There were 49% male and 51% female patients. The intoxications
had no seasonal features. The toxic substances were commonly taken orally.
Medications were the most frequent cause of all poisonings, among which the
most commonly reported were drugs for central nervous system disorders.
Medications were the most frequent cause of poisoning in children and
adolescents, as well as in children up to 10 years of age. In adolescents,
the most prevalent cause of intoxication was alcohol abuse. Poisoning with
suicidal intent and intentional self-poisoning without suicidal attempt were
considerably more frequent in girls than in boys. There were no fatalities.
Conclusion. It is of great importance to be familiar with the
characteristics and circumstances of acute poisoning to plan and implement
adequate preventive measures.

Published: November 2019

Introduction. Annual and periodized training protocols significantly affect
the muscle adaptation in rowers. Considering that the main goal of the
training period is increasing specific muscle strength and of detraining
period increasing general strength and active rest, the aim of this study
was to compare the strength of different muscle groups between training and
detraining periods. Material and Methods. The study was conducted at the
Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine Novi Sad, and it included 34
male and female rowers, 15 to 18 years of age. The muscle strength was
measured using a Concept 2 DYNO dynamometer. The strength of the arm
extensors and flexors, as well as the leg extensors was measured twice, at
the end of the competition season (peak of performance) and before the
beginning of the preparation season (after detraining). Results. A
statistically significant decrease was found in absolute and relative muscle
strength, flexor and arm extensor contraction rate, as well as relative leg
extensor strength and contraction rate during the training and detraining
periods (p < 0.05). No difference was found in the absolute leg extensor
power between the two measurements (p > 0.05). Conclusion. Periodization of
the annual training program in rowers has a higher impact on differences in
the upper limb muscle adaptation, compared to lower limb muscles in terms of
absolute strength.
The problem of unusable transfusion units
Authors: Radonjic Dragan , Varjacic Mirjana , Vukanovic Milan
Published: November 2019

Introduction. Availability of safe blood and blood products has always been a
key strategy for addressing such health-related challenges. The most common
reasons for blood wastage are expired blood validity, chylous blood,
hemolysis in bags, insufficient amount of blood or extracted blood, damage
to the bag during work or processing, blood positive for transmissible
diseases, blood suspicious of transmissible diseases. The reasons also
include insufficiently educated blood donors in terms of eating before
giving blood, sometimes clinician?s inadequate therapeutic choice regarding
the expiration of individual blood units, and sometimes unplanned taking of
less common blood groups. Material and Methods. We analyzed those blood
units that did not meet the standards, as well as the reasons why this
happened in the period from 2009 - 2014 in the Blood Transfusion Center Bar
in Montenegro. The aim of this study was to objectively show the reasons for
blood wastage in the specified period. Results. In the observed period of
time, 7.001 units of whole blood were collected. Of those, there were 796
(11.36%) unusable blood units, which is very high according to the world
standards. This is important because blood treatment is an extremely
expensive and complex method and sometimes it is very difficult to collect
rare blood groups. Conclusion. Discovering new and analyzing the existing
factors that cause unused transfusion units, by planning and introduction of
preventive measures and application only of safe blood in the treatment of
patients, will significantly reduce the number of unusable blood units and
contribute to faster and successful treatment of patients in the future.
A foodborne norovirus outbreak among the film crew in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia
Authors: Strbac Mirjana , Ristic Mioljub
Published: November 2019

Introduction. Norovirus is one of the most common causes of acute
gastroenteritis in the world. The aim of this study was to describe
characteristics of an outbreak of norovirus infection and present all the
steps of an outbreak investigation. Material and Methods. A retrospective
cohort study was conducted among all individuals who ate food from the same
restaurant. All the exposed persons filled out an adapted questionnaire that
is routinely used in patients with food poisoning. Results. This paper
presents a norovirus outbreak among film crew members and measures taken to
control the epidemic. Gastroenteritis was diagnosed in 20 exposed persons.
In most patients, symptoms lasted 1 - 3 days, and every third patient sought
medical attention. The predominant clinical manifestations were vomiting and
diarrhea. The food that probably caused the infection were sandwiches with
ham, cheese and lettuce and microbiological analysis confirmed that the
outbreak was caused by norovirus. Conclusion. Although the source of this
outbreak remains unclear, the results of environmental investigation of the
restaurant showed several irregularities in the kitchen that may have caused
norovirus transmission.
Renal actinomycosis - a case report
Authors: Popov Mladen , Vojinov Sasa , Levakov Ivan , Grbic Dragan , Jeremic Dimitrije , Popov Iva
Published: November 2019

Introduction. Actinomycosis of the urogenital tract mainly manifests with
formation of renal and perirenal abscesses. When it comes to treating renal
lodge abscesses caused by Actinomyces bacteria, the method of choice is
mainly surgical evacuation of purulent collections, followed by
administration of parenteral penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics during
a six week period. The definitive diagnosis is made based on the antibiogram
findings, isolation of Actinomyces israelii from abscess collection, as well
as by characteristic histological findings. The exact incidence and
prevalence of urogenital actinomycosis is still unknown. Case Report. A
54-year-old female patient was admitted to the Emergency Department of the
Clinical Center of Vojvodina for triage. She complained of pain in the left
lumbar and gluteal region, weakness, malaise, and fever. She was treated
with corticosteroids under the diagnosis of vasculitis five months prior to
admission. Based on clinical, laboratory blood and urine tests, ultrasound
examination of the abdomen and contrast CT of the abdomen and pelvis, the
diagnosis of left kidney abscess was made. It also spread to the
retroperitoneum (iliopsoas muscle, gluteus maxuimus and ipsilateral inguinal
region). Urgent operative exploration of retroperitoneum and kidney was
performed. A lumbotomy was performed in the left half of the retroperitoneum
with evacuation of abscesses, as well as partial nephrectomy of the lower
half of the left kidney. Subsequently, the obtained antibiogram of
operatively sampled aspirate, renal actinomycosis was histopathologically
verified. The surgically removed tissue that was sent for histopathology
showed presence of connective tissue infiltrated with a pronounced
inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes, plasma cells, histiocytes
and granulocytes with numerous microabscesses and actinomycosis colonies.
Posttraumatic disruption of the right main bronchus - a case report
Authors: Koledin Bojan , Koledin Milos , Kuhajda Ivan , Koledin Sladjana
Published: November 2019

Introduction. Tracheobronchial disruption is a rare disorder, usually
accompanied by a severe blunt chest trauma that quite rarely appears as an
isolated event. Case Report. This is a case report of a right main bronchus
disruption, due to an injury to the right hemithorax, caused by a falling
tree trunk. The disruption was accompanied by mediastinal emphysema,
fractures of the 4th and 5th ribs on the right side and compound sternal
fracture. The patient was operated in general anesthesia, through right
thoracotomy approach, followed by successful right main bronchus
reconstruction by interrupted suture technique, without anatomic resection
of the lung parenchyma. Conclusion. Although this injury is rare, with
suspicion of bronchial rupture, bronchoscopy confirms the diagnosis and
leads to better prognosis.

Published: November 2019

At the end of the Second World War, the General State Hospital had seven
departments, the same facilities, and the same bed capacity as in the
pre-war period. In the newly formed state of Yugoslavia, intensive growth
and modernization of the hospital began, despite the great financial
difficulties. The hospital became the Main Provincial Hospital and new
departments and services were established. Mainly during the 1960s and
1970s, ten new surgery departments were established, which later became
independent clinics. The surgery departments occupied pavilions 1, 2, 3 and
4. Complex and contemporary abdominal and thoracic surgeries were performed.
The Department of Internal Diseases became the Clinic of Internal Diseases
and in 1964 it was moved to a newly equipped four-story building. The Clinic
of Gynecology and Obstetrics was founded and it was moved into a modern,
purpose-built facility with a 230 bed capacity for adult patients and 105
for newborns. Rapid progress has also been made in the development of the
Clinic of Infectious Diseases, Clinic of Eye Diseases, Clinic of Ear, Nose
and Throat Diseases, Neurology and Psychiatry Clinics, Clinic of
Dermatovenereology Diseases, Medical Rehabilitation Clinic - as well as a
modern laboratory, X-ray, blood transfusion, and polyclinic services. After
the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine and the Clinical Center of
Vojvodina, this large tertiary medical institution is the source of pride
for Novi Sad. Founded 110 years ago, the hospital is still dedicated to
providing better healthcare for patients.
Dysfunction of the arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis as a consequence of venous neointimal hyperplasia and treatment strategies
Authors: Stolic Radojica
Published: November 2019

One of the main problems related to inadequate planning of vascular access is dysfunction during maturation. Arteriovenous fistula dysfunction is most often a consequence of neointimal hyperplasia. Important causes for initial dysfunction of the fistula include narrow lumens of the arteries and veins used for anastomosis, damage to the vascular endothelium during fistula creation, previous venipuncture, postoperative development of venous collaterals, the impact force of friction on the arteriovenous anastomosis, a genetic predisposition for development of vascular stenosis, neointimal hyperplasia and previously persistent venous neointimal hyperplasia. Any damage to the endothelium is a stimulus for neointimal hyperplasia. During surgery for creating the fistula, endothelial cells separate on the intima, edema appears, fibrin is deposited, leukocytes and platelets infiltrate. Spotted edema and necrosis of smooth muscle cells appear in the media. In order to determine an adequate therapeutic strategy, the pathogenesis of intimal hyperplasia has been widely considered from different aspects. It is currently based on preoperative preservation of veins and careful selection of blood vessels, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or surgical revision. Nevertheless, no current therapeutic strategies provide appropriate recommendations to improve maturation of the arteriovenous fistula. Notwithstanding considerable knowledge about the pathogenesis of venous neointimal hyperplasia, currently no prophylactic treatments would reduce its progression.
“Ethno-nationalization” of the Post-Yugoslav societies: Features, actors, consequences, and possibilities of “de-ethno-nationalization”
Authors: Bolcic Silvano
Published: November 2019

Process of ?ethno-nationalization? of the Post-Yugoslav societies is
considered as a crucial process of transformation of the new Post-Yugoslav
societies constituted after the destruction of SFR Yugoslavia. In these
?ethno-nationalized? societies society in totality is treated as being
?owned? by the dominant ethno-nation. State?s and general societal projects
and actions have the primary role to secure, enhance and promote
ethno-national interests of the dominant ethno-nation. First part of the
paper describes essential features of the ?ethno-nationalized? society in
domain of social stratification, in economy, political system, cultural
formation, and in relation to basic social values. Since
?ethno-nationalized? society is not only society with nationalism as the
dominant ideology, second part of the paper discusses the characteristics of
nationalism in the ?ethno-nationalized? society and pinpoints key promoters
of nationalism and ?ethno-nationalization? in the Post-Yugoslav societies.
Third part of the paper is devoted to the analysis of consequences of the
process of ?ethno-nationalization? of society, with an emphasis on
regressive implications of such transformation of a given society. Last part
of the paper is devoted to the possible processes of societal reconstitution
aimed at the ?de-ethno-nationalization? of the Post-Yugoslav societies.

Published: November 2019

Given the long and continuous history of human settlements on the territory
of Novi Sad, the human impact on the Danube?s coast configuration has been
significant. Based on the field research and literature data regarding the
Danube?s shoreline, from Cerevic to Cortanovci, a total number of 440 taxa
classified into 224 genera and 68 families were registered. According to the
number of species, the most abundant families were Asteraceae (51), Poaceae
(49), Fabaceae (32) and Brassicaceae (28), while the most abundant genera
were Carex (15), Rumex (10) and Euphorbia (8). Chorological analysis showed
that 42% of the registered taxa belong to Eurasian floral element, 14% to
Central European and 12% to Pontic-Southsiberian floral element, with
special attention to alien plants with invasive character that included 24
taxa. The analysis of the life forms showed domination of hemicryptophytes
(40%), followed by therophytes (27%) and phanerophytes (11%).

OBJECTIVE

The relationship between acute pancreatitis and incident diabetes is unclear. We assessed whether a resolved single event of acute pancreatitis in childhood was associated with incident diabetes in adulthood.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A nationwide, population-based study of 1,802,110 Israeli adolescents (mean age 17.4 years [range 16–20]) who were examined before compulsory military service between 1979 and 2008 and whose data were linked to the Israeli National Diabetes Registry (INDR). Resolved pancreatitis was defined as a history of a single event of acute pancreatitis with normal pancreatic function at enrollment. Logistic regression analysis was applied.

RESULTS

Incident diabetes developed in 4.6% of subjects with resolved pancreatitis (13 of 281; none of these cases were identified as type 1 diabetes) and 2.5% among the unexposed group (44,463 of 1,801,716). Resolved acute pancreatitis was associated with incident diabetes with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.23 (95% CI 1.25–3.98) with adjustment for age, sex, and birth year. Findings persisted after further adjustments for baseline BMI and sociodemographic confounders (OR 2.10 [95% CI 1.15–3.84]). Childhood pancreatitis was associated with a diagnosis of diabetes at a younger age, with 92% of diabetes case subjects diagnosed before 40 years of age compared with 47% in the unexposed group (P = 0.002). The association accentuated when the study sample was limited to individuals of unimpaired health or normal BMI at baseline.

CONCLUSIONS

A history of acute pancreatitis in childhood with normal pancreatic function in late adolescence is a risk factor for incident type 2 diabetes, especially at young adulthood.

The Giant Post-Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia: Clinical Case and Literature Review
Authors: Domrachev S. A. , Kucher S. A.
Published: November 2019

The post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a rare type of trauma which most commonly occurs after the blunt trauma of the thorax and abdomen. In the acute period of trauma, the symptoms of the emergency diseases and nonspecific signs of the diaphragmatic rupture are the reasons of frequent diagnostic mistakes. A missed diaphragmatic rupture grows in time and leads to migration of organs from the abdominal cavity to the thoracic one due to pressure gradient. The symptoms of diaphragmatic hernia are not expressed and the duration of the asymptomatic period of the disease may vary from some years to 10 years and longer. The increasing restructuring of the abdominal wall leads to reduced abdominal cavity, which makes the standard reconstructive surgery difficult, the intraabdominal pressure grows and relapse occurs in the postoperative period. In these cases, surgeons perform complex techniques which enlarge the abdominal cavity with local tissues or an artificial graft. However, there are no clear recommendations about the extent of the abdominal wall reconstruction so that the abdominal cavity size would be adequate for organs. The authors suggested a simple method to calculate it and used it in practice. In the article, we report the clinical case of a 53-year-old woman with a giant post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia after motor vehicle accident 48 years ago and offer an original method of treatment. The first operation including hernia resolution and repair of diaphragmatic rupture was complicated by relapse on the second day after operation due to the high intra-abdominal pressure. During the second reconstructive surgery (4 months later), the authors performed their own method of abdominal cavity enlargement and got a good result in the shortand long-term postoperative period.

De lo fotográfico a la fotografía digital contemporánea
Authors: Rigat Leticia
Published: November 2019

Resumen

En el presente trabajo nos proponemos un estudio teórico sobre los cambios en la fotografía a partir de la digitalización de su dispositivo y el advenimiento de los nuevos medios de comunicación con base en Internet. En primer lugar, nos abocamos al análisis de distintas teorías sobre la fotografía, particularmente en aquellas que plantean la especificidad de la imagen fotográfica a partir de su carácter indicial, el funcionamiento del dispositivo y la representación de lo real. En relación a lo anterior revisamos los debates que a partir de la década del noventa, con el advenimiento de las tecnologías digitales y los nuevos medios de comunicación, plantearon la muerte de la fotografía y la era de la postfotografía. Finalmente, proponemos algunas reflexiones e interrogantes sobre la etapa actual del pensamiento sobre la fotografía digital contemporánea, las transformaciones en las prácticas fotográficas, y en los modos de representación, a partir de los cuestionamientos a la credibilidad de la fotografía (basada en la dimensión icónico-indicial y el registro directo de lo real).
Acceso al suelo y desarrollo urbano en el periurbano
Authors: Di Croce Garay Andrea
Published: November 2019

En este trabajo presentaremos una comparación de tres experiencias de producción urbana en el periurbano platense, cada una de ellas propia de un sector social: barrios cerrados, PROCREAR y asentamientos populares informales (API). Para ello se indagará en las características que tomaron los procesos de acceso al suelo y desarrollo urbano, y la localización geográfica que asume cada experiencia.
Para poder desarrollar el trabajo se utilizaron fuentes bibliográficas, así como entrevistas propias.
Los primeros análisis muestran características propias bien definidas para cada caso, distintos tipos de vínculos con los Estados, y resultados urbanos marcadamente diferentes entre sí, lo que corrobora la idea de que la producción urbana y la transformación territorial están fuertemente atravesadas por las características de la clase social que las está llevando adelante.

Published: November 2019

The necropsy of a leopard (Panthera pardus), succumbed to a chronic ailment exhibited a mixed parasitic gastroenteritis. Gross internal examination of carcass revealed the presence of round and tapeworms in the stomach and intestines with diffuse catarrhal and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The detailed examination of the intestinal content revealed the presence of Toxocara canis and Spirometra species eggs. Also, the gross morphological investigation of round and tapeworms approved the presence of both species. Histo-pathological examination showed sloughing of intestinal epithelium, hemorrhages, and ulcerative areas with the infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells admixed with mononuclear cells. Lungs revealed the accumulation of eosinophilic edematous fl uid in the alveolar spaces along with inflammatory cells. These parasites are pathogenic to precious wild felids and often pose a threat of zoonotic transmission due to spill-over infections. The present case study is an attempt to put on record a case of parasitic gastroenteritis in a captive leopard.
No sharing! A mixed methods study of short-term rentals and its socio-spatial implications in the city of Salzburg
Authors: Smigiel Christian , Hof Angela , Kautzschmann Karolin , Seidl Roman
Published: November 2019

Short-term rentals in general and Airbnb in particular are currently in the public focus. Using the example of the city of Salzburg with a mixed-method approach, this paper examines both the spatial characteristics and the stake-holder structure associated with this form of platform urbanism. Specifically, the paper provides insights into the spatial distribution, supply and revenue structure, motives of hosts and effects of Airbnb on the housing market. It becomes evident that Airbnb’s idea of shared housing in the sense of the so-called home sharing plays a subordinate role. A new market has developed between the hotel business and regular apartment rentals, which is determined primarily by commercial providers serving the Airbnb market in Salzburg. We argue that Airbnb creates a new form of rent gap, which is no longer preceded by a prior devaluation of districts. This earnings gap now also arises in urban areas that can be described as stable in terms of both price and socio-demographics, since profit increases can be achieved within a very short period of time and with little financial effort. The effects on the housing market are significant, especially in the heavily touristic frequented inner city areas of Salzburg, which cause or intensify processes of change.
Hemolysis has no influence on routine coagulation tests in subjects without anticoagulant therapy - a referral Romanian emergency hospital laboratory experience
Authors: Binzari Elena , Zaharia Mihaela , Barbu Stefan , Oprea Oana Roxana , Dobreanu Minodora
Published: November 2019

The aim of this study was to determine the rate of hemolyzed specimens sent to our laboratory for coagulation testing, assess the interference of hemolysis on coagulation for patients without anticoagulant therapy and to determine the reference intervals for PT, INR and aPTT for our laboratory in order to test our own limitations.

Methods: To determine the hemolysis rate, 1,689 specimens were evaluated on a visual scale and with the hemolysis icterus lipemia (HYL) test on Architect c4000 instrument. 125 blood samples collected from subjects without anticoagulant therapy were hemolyzed in vitro and the PT, INR and aPTT results were compared before and after hemolysis.To determine reference intervals (RI) for PT, INR and aPTT in our population, 125 apparently healthy human subjects (according to CLSI C28-A2) were enrolled and tests were performed on Sysmex CS 2000i, using Siemens reagents.

Results: Out of 1,689 samples, 9.46% were assessed as hemolyzed by the visual scale, while HYL test showed a 6.63% hemolysis rate. We found a shortening of 0.1s for PT, a diminution with 0.01 units for INR and a prolongation with 0.9s for aPTT from in vitro hemolyzed compared to non-lyzed samples. As to the reference intervals, we obtained in our laboratory versus reagents producer: for PT 9.8-13.9 s vs 9.8-12.1 s, and for aPTT 19.1-31.5s vs 23-31.9 s respectively; 28.38% more PT results and 13.44% more aPTT results were within range when we used local laboratory RI, compared to the manufacturer’s RI.

Conclusions: The rate of hemolyzed coagulation samples in our laboratory is higher than the rate found in the literature. Nevertheless, for patients without anticoagulant therapy hemolyzed samples should be processed. Using our own reference interval leads to a significant reduced number of abnormal results.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: Previous studies have indicated that acute bouts of strenuous, long duration exercise induce significant increases in the inflammatory profile and cardiovascular risk markers. Although recreational soccer (RS) is a widespread activity, there are no data on this topic. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine RS-induced changes in inflammatory, cardiac, and skeletal muscle damage indicators in young and middle-aged males.

Methods: Twelve young and 11 middle-aged males participated in the study. The participants played 6v6 1 h RS, where heart rate (HR) responses and external loads (distance covered, number of accelerations/decelerations) were determined. Blood samples were taken immediately prior to and following the matches, and 2 h, 4 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h later.

Results: Absolute HR responses and the number of accelerations and decelerations were higher in young participants than the middle-aged participants (p < 0.05). RS increased high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) in almost all participants. A total of 83.3% of the young participants exceeded the upper reference limit (URL), whereas none of the middle-aged participants exceeded the URL. Hs-cTnI levels returned to baseline after 24 and 48 h in the middle-aged and young participants, respectively. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and creatine kinase (CK) increased in the middle-aged participants (p < 0.05), and in the young participants, though not significantly (p > 0.05). RS also led to significant increases in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in both groups (p < 0.05). Hs-CRP, CK, and LDH values returned to baseline levels within 48 to 72 h, except for the LDH values of the young participants.

Conclusion: RS induced short-term increases in cardiac and skeletal muscle damage markers and the inflammatory profile in young and middle-aged RS participants.

Introduction. He most common ureteral injuries are iatrogenic injuries. Diagnosis of ureteral lesions includes ultrasound, computer tomography, intravenous urography, anterograde and retrograde ureterography. For a definitive diagnosis it is necessary to determine the existence of the extralumination of contrast media from the ureter. Minor ureteral injuries can be treated with nonvascular interventional radiology procedures.

Case presentation. We have presented two patients with iatrogenic ureteral injuries. Injury in the first patient occurred at the sigmoid colon resection and partial resection of the bladder, whereas in the second patient the lesion was formed as a result of cesarean section. In both patients, there was a history of previously conducted interventions, clinical picture included fever and pain, a diagnosis was made by intravenous and anterograde urography. Patients were treated with interventional radiology procedures and they have been definitely cured.

Conclusion. Methods of nonvascular interventional radiology can be successfully applied in the treatment of minor iatrogenic ureteral injuries.

Keputusan konsumen sangat mempengaruhi hubungan antara harga dengan keputusan pembelian,  di mana semakin mahal atau tinggi suatu  harga maka keputusan pembelian semakin sedikit, sebaliknya jika harga  murah atau rendah keputusan pembelian berubah semakin tinggi. Selain harga, terdapat faktor lain yang juga berpengaruh dalam keputusan pembelian yakni desain atau motif produk. Desain atau motif dari suatu produk merupakan salah satu faktor yang harus diperhatikan secara serius dari manajemen khususnya team pengembangan produk baru, karena tidak sedikit konsumen yang mempermasalahkan desain atau motif dari  suatu produk yang mampu memenuhi kebutuhan dan keinginan konsumen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  menganalisis pengaruh harga terhadap keputusan membeli konsumen batik, menganalisis pengaruh desain produk terhadap keputusan membeli konsumen batik dan menganalisis pengaruh bersama harga dan desain produk terhadap keputusan membeli konsumen batik di Kabupaten Sumenep. Tujuan ini diharapkan nanti akan ditemukannya sejauh mana variable tersebut mempengaruhi penjualan atau minat beli konsumen. Analysis of variance merupakan metode untuk menguji hubungan antara satu variabel dependen (skala metrik) dengan satu atau lebih variabel independen (skala nonmetrik dengan level lebih dari dua). Hubungan antara satu variabel dependen metric dan dua variabel independen nominal sering disebut dengan Two Ways Anova. ANOVA digunakan untuk mengetahui pengaruh utama (main effect) dan pengaruh interaksi (interaction effect) dari variabel independen nominal (sering disebut faktor) terhadap variabel dependen metrik.
Classification of asthma
Authors: Padem Nurcicek , Saltoun Carol
Published: November 2019

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that results, physiologically, in hyperreactivity and, clinically, in recurrent episodes of wheezing, chest tightness, or coughing. Airway inflammation, smooth-muscle contraction, epithelial sloughing, mucous hypersecretion, bronchial
hyperresponsiveness, and mucosal edema contribute to the underlying pathophysiology of asthma. Diagnostic tests such as methacholine or mannitol challenges or spirometry (pre- and postbronchodilator responses) help to identify such underlying pathophysiology via assessments of bronchial
hyperreactivity and lung mechanics but are imperfect and, ultimately, must be viewed in the context of a patient's clinical presentation, including response to pharmacotherapy. Asthma can be classified into either intermittent or persistent, and the latter is either mild, moderate, or severe.
Some patients change, in either direction, from intermittent to persistent asthma. In addition, patients with asthma may be classified as allergic (immunoglobulin E mediated), nonallergic (often triggered by viral upper respiratory tract infections or no apparent cause), occupational, aspirin-exacerbated
respiratory disease, potentially fatal, exercise-induced, and cough variant asthma. In the latter, the patients have a nonproductive cough that responds to treatment for asthma but not with antibiotics, expectorants, mucolytics, antitussives, or beta2-adrenergic agonists, and to
treatment for acid reflux and rhinosinusitis. Thus, cough variant asthma is in the differential diagnosis of chronic cough.

Vertaisarvioinnista sekä normaaleista tieteellisistä käytänteistä piittaamaton saalistajajulkaiseminen puhuttaa tiedeyhteisössä. Vaakalaudalla on paitsi saalistajalehdissä julkaisevan tutkijan oma maine, myös tieteellistä tutkimusta kohtaan tunnetun yleisen luottamuksen rapautuminen. Mistä nopeasti kasvaneessa, avoimen julkaisemisen mainetta tahranneessa ilmiöissä oikein on kysymys? Kuka saalistajalehtiin kirjoittaa? Ja miten erottaa luotettavat julkaisukanavat käärmeöljyn kauppiaista?

Lontar is a document that is considered to be relics that have special values, namely spiritual and cultural values, and economic values. Lontar which has socio-cultural values is the work of a person or group of people who preserve local cultures. Lontar has values that are in contact with the life of the wider community or contain norms of community life, both individually and in groups (organizations), which must be preserved which will later be able to be passed on by the younger generation. In ancient times lontar-lontar received special attention, because it contains values that are considered sacred. It should not be haphazardly people who open and read it, so that the contents of the lontar are rarely known, sometimes very confidential (ajawera). The language used in lontar is a mixed language, namely Old Balinese, Old Javanese and Sanskrit. In the current era of globalization, young people are very rarely willing to read lontar. That was caused by: (1) seeing the shape of the younger generation had underestimated; (2) the language used in ejection is a language that is difficult to understand; (3) the writing form is rarely found except in certain places such as museums, libraries and others.
