Ground‐Motion Amplifications in Small‐Size Hills: Case Study of Gokgang‐ri, South Korea, during the 2017 ML 5.4 Pohang Earthquake Sequence
Authors: Kang Sinhang , Kim Byungmin , Cho Hyungik , Lee Junyoung , Kim Kiseog , Bae Sungjin , Sun Chang‐Guk
Published: October 2019

An earthquake with a local magnitude (ML) of 5.4 occurred in Pohang city, South Korea, on 15 November 2017. This study focuses on the damage that affected the village of Gokgang‐ri, which is built on small‐size hills. The northern part of the village is located on the slopes facing the earthquake’s epicenter, or on plateaus behind the slopes, and serious damage (i.e., building cracks and collapses) occurred to buildings in this area. In contrast, only some buildings in the southern part, which is located on the slopes that face the opposite direction, suffered minor damage, and no serious damage was incurred. We installed four seismic stations to record ground motions of several aftershocks (ML 2.0–4.6); results showed amplification of ground motions in the northern part compared with the southern part. Given the similar geological and soil conditions in both parts, we conclude that more damage was incurred on the northern side because the ground motions were amplified in relation to constructive interference, which occurred when motions with large incidence angles encountered topographic surface irregularities. We demonstrate this using numerical simulations.
Future Package (FP) Financing Using Murabahah Contract for Pre-Prosperous Families in Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional Syariah (BTPNS) of Solok City
Authors: Audia Risca Mia , Yaswirman Yaswirman , Rembrandt Rembrandt
Published: October 2019

Future Package (FP) financing is one of the products of Bank Tabungan Pensiunan Nasional Syariah (BTPNS). This FP program is aimed specifically at women who want to develop or who want to start a business. Based on observations in the field, after the financing has been provided to customers, there are several customers who have arrears in installments. Thus, it raises discrepancies such as what is regulated in the fatwa of the National Sharia Council (DSN) No. 04/DSN-MUI/IV/2000 concerning Murabahah Contract Financing that the customer must pay the price of the goods agreed upon at a certain agreed period of time. The formulation of the research problems includes: (1) what are the criteria for FP financing for pre-prosperous families? (2) how is FP financing viewed from Islamic law? (3) what are the problems with the FP program? and (4) how does the bank cope with it? This research applies an empirical juridical problem approach in which the source of data is obtained by looking at the legal provisions that are connected with facts in the field. The data types consist of primary data from the field and secondary data from books and literature. Problems with non-current installment payments by some customers started with declining business incomes. Thus, banks must make regular collection efforts and the active role of groups. The suggestion from this research is that customers need to increase their sense of responsibility to pay installments on time.

Sudan is a leading country in health professions education (HPE), a sector which started 100 years ago. The history of HPE in Sudan dates back to 1918 with the training of medical assistants, with a school for modern midwifery opening in 1921 (1). The first college of medicine in Sudan—Kitchener School of Medicine (KSM) —was established in 1924, and is currently part of the University of Khartoum (2). About half a century later, two more medical schools—Juba University School in 1977 and Gezira University School in 1978—were established. In the 1990s, there was an enormous expansion in higher education, particularly in colleges of medicine, with more than thirty being inaugurated (3). Currently, Sudan has more than sixty colleges of medicine.

Published: October 2019

Background: Researchers proved the association between inflammatory condition, high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP), and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, this study aimed to assess the hs-CRP level in type 2 DM patients and their relation to diabetes cardiovascular complications.
Materials and methods: In a case-control study, 205 previously diagnosed type 2 DM patients and 100 controls were included. Serum high Sensitive C Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) was estimated immune-turbidimetrically using Cobas C-311® fully automated analyzer. Also, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) were measured.
Results: Type 2 DM patients had an increased level of hs-CRP (p-value 0.020). Females had higher levels of hs-CRP, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C than males (p-value 0.005, 0.000, 0.000, and 0.000, respectively). Moreover, patients who received statin drugs had decreased levels of hs-CRP, TC, and LDL-C (p-value 0.030, 0.000, and 0.000, respectively). The correlation analysis revealed hs-CRP correlates positively with BMI (r: 0.56, P-value 0.000).
Conclusion: The data showed that type 2 DM patients had higher hs-CRP. Moreover, hs-CRP positively associated with BMI. Therefore, obesity might be related to CVDs in type 2 DM patient.

Obese First degree relatives of hemodialysis patients are at Higher Risk for Developing Kidney Diseases: In a Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Elemam Abozaid Mohammed
Published: October 2019

Background: Previously, it has been demonstrated that obesity is one of the strongest risk factors for incident chronic kidney diseases (CKDs). Currently, we examine the association between Body mass index (BMI) and CKD in first degree relatives (FDRs) of renal failure patients on hemodialysis.
Materials and methods: In a cross-sectional study, 135 FDRs of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis were included. Serum creatinine, uric acid, calcium, phosphate, and alkaline phosphatase were measured. Glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) were estimated. The height in Cm, weight in Kg was measured, and the BMI was calculated.
Results: Females 64% were found to have a higher frequency than males 36%. The frequency of BMI categories was found to be 26.7% obese, 26.7% overweight, and 46.6. % normal weight. The mean BMI was (26.0 ± 6.62). The prevalence of CKDs is 19.3% among relatives. CKDs were more frequent 42.3 % in obese, followed by 30.8 % in overweight and 26.9% in normal-weight relatives. Obese and overweight relatives have significantly higher ACR than normal weight (P= 0.012). GFR found to be significantly higher in obese and overweight relatives than normal weight (P = 0.000). GFR was negatively correlated with BMI (R = - 0.430, P = 0.000).     
Conclusion: Obese and overweight RF relatives had higher ACR and lower eGFR. Therefore, obese and overweight members are at higher risk of developing CKD.

DO ESQUECIMENTO À DESINDEXAÇÃO: A EVOLUÇÃO INTERNACIONAL DA CONTROVÉRSIA SOBRE O DIREITO AO ESQUECIMENTO E AS LIMITAÇÕES DA JURISPRUDÊNCIA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Vieira José Ribas , Andrade Mário Cesar da Silva , Vasconcelos Vitor Jorge Vitor Gonçalves
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo analisa a evolução do direito ao esquecimento a partir de julgamentos paradigmáticos, estrangeiros e nacionais, especialmente, no reconhecimento do chamado direito à desindexação. Com esse novo direito supera-se algumas das dificuldades práticas em impedir a veiculação midiática de conteúdo ofensivo na internet. Adotando como fio condutor os julgamentos dos casos Lebach, ocorrido na Alemanha, e Mario Costeja González v. Google, ocorrido na Espanha, busca-se analisar criticamente a formação do entendimento jurisprudencial brasileiro sobre o direito ao esquecimento, a partir do entendimento firmado no julgamento do caso Aída Curi pelo STJ, bem como de suas revisões e limitações. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa qualitativa, de viés compreensivo e crítico-reflexivo, vale-se de fontes doutrinárias, legislativas e jurisprudenciais, com destaque para as decisões do STJ envolvendo o direito ao esquecimento. Como referencial teórico, são adotadas as reflexões doutrinárias sobre o direito ao esquecimento, especialmente, nas formulações de Jorge Manrique, Stefano Rodotà e Francisco Javier Leturia Infante. Em conclusão, aponta-se como a jurisprudência brasileira ainda não assimilou plenamente o direito à desindexação. Apesar de já ter reconhecido a estratégia técnica da desindexação, ainda não avançou na sua dimensão material, no esclarecimento dos conteúdos que fazem jus à restrição dos buscadores. Enfrentar esse desafio pode ser o contributo brasileiro à evolução internacional do direito ao esquecimento em novos termos.

Published: October 2019

The review presents the pathobiochemical and molecular mechanisms of sputum formation in patients with cystic fibrosis associated with the pathophysiological features of the disease. Statistical data on the prevalence of this pathology in the world and in the Russian Federation are presented. The mechanisms of sputum formation and disorders of the mucociliary apparatus, leading to the accumulation of viscous bronchopulmonary secret in cystic fibrosis, are considered. The principles of the relationship between the rheological properties of sputum and the formation of inflammation in the lungs with the addition of a concomitant specific microflora in the bronchopulmonary system in patients with cystic fibrosis are presented. Describes the opportunities for biochemical studies of sputum of patients with this pathology: determining the activity of enzymes (myeloperoxidase), the content of proteinase inhibitors (α2-macroglobulin and α1-antitrypsin) and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-8 and TNFa), concentrations of iron and ferriferous proteins (lactoferrin and ferritin), which makes biochemical studies of sputum available, non-invasive, quick and cost-effective method of diagnosis, which can be widely used as an auxiliary laboratory method and makes it possible to use these metabolites as diagnostic markers to assess the severity of inflammation and infection of the lower respiratory tract and predict the development of respiratory complications in patients with cystic fibrosis.
SENSITIVITY AND RESISTANCE TO ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS ESBL-PRODUCING AND NOT PRODUCING ESBL STRAINS OF E. COLI IN PATIENTS WITH URINARY TRACT INFECTION
Authors: Dimitrova N. I. , Gasretova T. D. , Alutina E. L. , Kharseeva G. G.
Published: October 2019

As a result of the conducted researches it is shown that 44.1% of urinary tract infections (UTIS) caused by E. coli are accounted for by producers of beta-lactamase of the extended spectrum of action (ESBL). Associated resistance to fluoroquinolones and co-trimoxazole was found in 93.3% of BLRS-producing E. coli strains. All studied strains regardless of ESBL production were sensitive to imipenem, the majority showed sensitivity to ertapenem, gentamicin and resistance to doxycycline. Not producing ESBL strains of E. coli were sensitive to fosfomycin. Comparison of data obtained during testing of isolated cultures on ESBL, study of their sensitivity and resistance to beta-lactams (amoxicillin/clavulanate, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, imipenem) indicates the need to test isolates for AmpC products. To this end, during the screening test for ESBL and the method of «double disks», along with cephalosporins of III generation, it is necessary to use a phenotypic test for sensitivity to cefepime. The use of test results of E. coli isolates isolated from patients with UTIS for the production of ESBL, ampC enzymes, carbapenemase and sensitivity to AMP will improve the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy and will help to curb the formation and spread of antimicrobial-resistant strains.
Competition And Real Activities Manipulation
Authors: Datta Sudip , Datta Mai , Singh Vivek
Published: October 2019

We enrich the research on income manipulation by establishing a link among companies’ price-setting control and the extent of real activities management. Examining three types of real activities management, the results reveal an interesting asymmetry in how companies employ income manipulation based on their pricing strength. We discover that companies with weaker price-setting clout employ larger manipulation of sales and production costs as a tool to manage income, while firms with more dominant pricing power prefer managing discretionary expenses.

Satisfacción laboral y su relación con el desempeño laboral en una Pyme de servicios de seguridad en el Perú
Authors: Boada Llerena Natalia Angélica
Published: October 2019

De acuerdo a las investigaciones de diversos autores, la satisfacción del personal influye positivamente en su desempeño laboral, así como en el desempeño global de la empresa. Sin embargo, numerosos estudios sobre diversos puestos de trabajo presentan conclusiones contrarias respecto a esta relación. Asimismo, la bibliografía es muy escaza acerca de esta relación en el caso de la empresa de seguridad.El presente estudio tiene como finalidad verificar la relación entre la satisfacción laboral y el desempeño del puesto agente de seguridad en una empresa de servicios de vigilancia ubicada en la ciudad de Lima. Se realizó una investigación descriptiva correlacional, haciendo uso de un instrumento de elaboración propia para evaluar el desempeño, y un cuestionario de satisfacción laboral elaborado por la investigadora Palma S. (2005). Ambos cuestionarios se aplicaron en una muestra representativa de empleados del puesto agente de seguridad.Los resultados indican que la correlación entre satisfacción y desempeño laboral es significativa. Asimismo, sugieren que el único aspecto de satisfacción laboral que presenta una alta correlación con el desempeño es el de satisfacción con la significación de la tarea. Por otro lado, el aspecto de satisfacción que obtuvo la relación más débil con el desempeño fue el de satisfacción con el beneficio económico. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de evaluar periódicamente la satisfacción percibida por los trabajadores, midiendo diferentes aspectos de satisfacción, incluyendo la significación de la tarea; así como intervenir, en caso de insatisfacción laboral, para motivar al trabajador en este aspecto.

Black measles in English, Esca in French, Escha in Italian, Yesca in Spanish, Iska in Greek… This nightmare for winegrowers around the world creates confusion about its development and characteristics. Nevertheless, research progress has been made, and a recent scientific survey addressing the impact of grafting types on foliar symptoms added a new piece to the complex puzzle of understanding this disease. Full cleft grafts, directly made on the plot, have much better results.

Published: October 2019

Aim: This study characterises and identifies 79 grapevine accessions from the Canary Islands and 14 from Madeira using simple sequence repeat (SSR) analysis.Methods and Results: A kit of 20 microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were used to obtain the molecular profiles of the 93 accessions in this study. The results allowed us to identify four new cultivars (Bienmesabe tinto, Burra volcanica, Vallera, Verijadiego negro), two new colour mutations (Listan rosa, Mollar cano rosado) and two unknown molecular profiles from Madeira. Furthermore, we propose that eight names of varieties be included in the Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC) as prime names, and 38 accession names as synonyms, 19 of which are regarded as new synonyms of the 12 varieties. Finally, we also reported eight cases of mislabelling. The study of genetic structure shows that the cultivars from the Canary Islands and Madeira are strongly influenced by the Iberian Peninsula. We propose that 14 varieties and three sports (mutations) at are local to the Canary Islands: Albillo criollo, Bermejuela, Bienmesabe tinto, Burra volcanica, Albillo forastero, Huevo de gallo, Listan negro, Listan rosa, Malvasia di Sardegna rosada, Malvasia volcanica, Mollar cano rosado, Torrontes volcanico, Sabro, Uva de año, Vallera, Verijadiego, and Verijadiego negro.Conclusions: It has been reliably shown that these cultivars have a characteristic genome: phylloxera never reached the Canary Islands so mutations, hybridations and human selection have been able to accumulate over 500 years. It is of great importance that this local plant material be conserved, given that it is part of our vine heritage. In the case of Madeira, it has not been possible to propose any local varieties because phylloxera did reach the island; this devastated the vineyards and there was a drastic reduction in local varieties. However, one unknown cultivar was the most characteristic genotype from this region.Significance and impact of the study: This study shows the existence of non well-known varieties of Vitis vinifera L. that may be used to elaborate original wines, offering therefore new organoleptic sensations for the consumers. Furthermore, these results suggest that this volcanic area could be considered as one centre of origin of new cultivars of Vitis vinifera L. (Biodiversity Centre).
Who You’re Gonna Call? The Development of University Digital Leaders
Authors: Dimitriadi Yota
Published: October 2019

In our hyper-connected digitised educational world, university tutors are interested in capitalising on affordances of digital trends in teaching and learning. Students, under the alias of preservice- teachers, walk among them equipped with digital skills in areas of their interest. How can we encourage collaboration between tutors and students that can promote the use of the digital force wisely, support the development of students’ professional identities further and extend tutors’ digital competences? The story of nine tutors and eleven undergraduate pre-service-teachers working together on digital partnerships is set against discussions around digital leadership and citizenship. This case study aims to highlight how universities can respond to technology-driven change by engaging students further and support their awareness of digital citizenship. The overall results showed that the informal learning that students have capitalised outside the classroom can be used to scaffold their development of digital citizenship through offline community engagement. It demonstrates the advantage of using such opportunities as a means to encourage citizenship practices among university student communities and the positive impact that such synergies can have on all the participants.
