THE STRATEGY OF EMPOWERMENT BASED ON ESQ POWER: A SOCIAL INNOVATION IN THE POVERTY OVERCOMING
Authors: Peribadi Peribadi
Published: December 2017

This research aimed to develop an innovation of empowerment strategy on ESQ Power – Based. It was designed through a phenomenology deductive, a case study and the methodof research and development or the procedure of member check. The three of them were used eclectically in order to design an ideal formulation. The research findings indicated that the actors and actresses of poverty overcoming in Kendari City have not had the emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence yet as ESQ Power. As a result, they were not optimal in performing their duties, roles and responsibilities. Therefore, the urgency of empowerment paradigm on ESQ Power – Based that has been formulated and validated by the skillful validator must be used in the future to increase the sense of responsibility of the actor network in overcoming the pauperization and poverty.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sebuah inovasi strategi pemberdayaan berbasis ESQ Power. Hal itu dirancang melalui deduksi fenomenologis, studi kasus serta metode penelitian dan pengembangan atau prosedur member check. Ketiganya digunakan secara eklektik untuk merancang formulasi ideal. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aktor dan aktris penanggulangan kemiskinan di Kota Kendari belum memiliki kecerdasan emosional dan kecerdasan spiritual sebagai ESQ Power. Akibatnya, mereka tidak optimal dalam menjalankan tugas, peran dan tanggung jawabnya. Oleh karena itu, urgensi paradigma pemberdayaan berbasis ESQ Power yang telah dirumuskan dan divalidasi oleh validator ahli tersebut harus mulai digunakan ke depan untuk meningkatkan rasa tanggung jawab jaringan aktor dalam mengatasi pemiskinan dan kemiskinan.

اللغة العربية هي لغة متصفة بالثقافة الإسلامية التي تتحقق في الطقوس الثقافية بالقيام بالتعبد لله تعالى في الطاعات للأوامر والاجتناب عن النواهي. اللغة العربية تحصل على الضمان في الطقوس الثقافية بجزاء الأجر من استخدامها لقراءة القرآن الكريم. في كثير من الأحوال، كانت المراسيم الثقافية تستخدم اللغة العربية كثيرا بفضلها كما قام بها الأولياء في عملية الدعوة لدى المجتمع. يطور الأولياء التسعة الدعوة على حسب أحوال المجتمع في تحقيق المراسيم الدينية واستخدامهم اللغة العربية فيها. هوية المسلم متصفة بالأنشطة الدينية واللباس الظاهرة المنظورة بأحساسهم. استخدام لسان صدق سيكون متطلبا في الشخصية وتعميق مضمون القرآن الكريم والأحاديث النبوية. دور الأولياء التسعة في توسيع الدين الإسلامي بإندونيسيا لا ينطلق من تبسيط الطقوس المبنية على حفظ الجودة العبودية  التي كانت المضامين الإسلامية وتياراتها تتبلغ كاملا. طقوس التهليل هي إحدى المراسيم الدينية التي تفيد دعاء الميت المصمم المناسبة بالثقافة المحلية مثل أربعين يوما، 100 يوم إلخ حيث كان المسلمون الإندونيسيون يعملون بها. التأثير في عملها مؤسس برسالة موصلة بالأدلة المستخدمة نظريا وتطبيقيا.

Arabic language is a language that reflects the culture of Islam embodied in cultural rituals by servicing Allah in obedience to his orders and away from his prohibitions. Arabic language gets assurances in cultural rituals with rewards on its use for reciting the Qur’an. In many ways, religious ceremonies also often use arabic language with their virtues as well as the guardians in carrying out their dakwah to the people. Wali Songo develops dakwah based on the state of society in realizing the cultural ceremony and the using of Arabic language in it. The identity of a Muslim can be seen in religious activities and his clothes may appear visible to their senses. The use of good expressions to be guided in behaving and deepening the content of the Qur’an and al-Hadith. The role of Wali Songo in the Islamic religion in Indonesia can not be separated from the simplification of rituals built in maintaining the quality of worship which of course the nuances of Islam and its teachings must be delivered perfectly. The ritual of tahlil is one of the religious ceremonies that serves the praying of the dead who are packaged to adapt local culture such as 40 days, 100 days and so on which at present some Indonesian Muslim community do. The impetus to carry it out is based on a message conveyed by theoretical and applicable theorems.
Muerte, ciudad y arquitectura. Aproximaciones disciplinares para el estudio de los procesos de muerte en buenos aires, 1868-1903
Authors: David Dal Castello
Published: December 2017

El siguiente texto se origina ante el reconocimiento de un campo poco trabajado desde nuestra disciplina, que por lo tanto produjo una serie de interrogantes y dificultades al momento de estudiar las relaciones entre procesos rituales de muerte, a fines del siglo XIX en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Asumiendo la enorme potencia simbólica que implica la muerte, y las elaboraciones y actuaciones que en tiempos de epidemias comenzaban en el dormitorio del enfermo, y, con buena fortuna culminaban con una digna sepultura, ¿cómo es posible que no exista registro disciplinar que ponga en relación las diferentes etapas de estos procesos, y sus articulaciones con los espacios?

Nos proponemos como primer objetivo, sintetizar las principales relaciones entre prácticas funerarias y la historiografía de la arquitectura, basadas en ideas de estilo, monumento y restauración. Considerando que estos modos de tratamiento presentan limitaciones a la luz de enfoques basados en el habitar, introduciremos al debate las nociones de rito de paso, ritual, performance cultural y proceso de muerte, que desde la antropología colaboran a concebir la muerte como elaboraciones espacio-temporales de compleja significación e interrelación con los territorios y diversos ámbitos arquitectónicos y urbanos. Finalmente, y como objetivo principal, presentaremos una propuesta que articule estas teorías con nuestro campo de especialización histórica.
Narrativa de una casa porfiriana: sus representaciones simbólicas y de género
Authors: Ruiz Emiliano , Serrano Barquín Carolina , Ciaramitaro Fernando , Serrano Barquín Héctor Paulino
Published: December 2017

La historia social y cultural de la casa remite, irremediablemente, al estudio de la vida cotidiana y su contexto simbólico. Estudiar los espacios habitables del ser humano implicaría remontarse a la edad de las cavernas, sin embargo, en esta ocasión el propósito principal es exponer brevemente el espacio doméstico mexicano, particularmente la casa porfiriana y el complejo entramado de las representaciones simbólicas que se generan entre los habitantes y su contexto interior y su distribución espacial. Es impensable el estudio de la casa sin ubicarla en su entorno inmediato, es decir, la ciudad que la alberga. Se realiza así un análisis interpretativo de unas casas para dar respuesta a algunos cuestionamientos en cuanto a las relaciones de poder que se ejercen dentro de ellas y que, en muchos, casos son reflejo de las costumbres sociales, económicas, morales y culturales de la época. El patrimonio cultural edificado doméstico permite su análisis desde gran diversidad de posturas, incluyendo la de género.
De la arquitectura colonial a la arquitectura contemporánea: otra mirada sobre la figura de Mario Buschiazzo
Authors: Zimmerman Johanna Natalí
Published: December 2017

Mario José Buschiazzo suele ser reconocido en la literatura especializada por su aporte al conocimiento de la historia de la arquitectura, no solo argentina, sino también latinoamericana. Su trabajo como restaurador y, posteriormente, como investigador y motor de estudios relacionados con la historia de la arquitectura americana –sobre todo colonial– ha dejado una huella en el campo historiográfico. Hoy en día, Buschiazzo es un referente imprescindible a la hora de pensar la arquitectura colonial. Sin embargo, su trayectoria deja entrever un perfil que poco parece tener que ver con su interés por lo colonial: su relación con la arquitectura americana contemporánea. Y esta relación se construye a partir de múltiples frentes que se relacionan, en gran parte, con la arquitectura de los Estados Unidos. A lo largo de esta investigación se estudiará la relación de Buschiazzo con la arquitectura americana contemporánea, principalmente entre los años 1955 (cuando el Instituto de Arte Americano e Investigaciones Estéticas lanza la colección “Arquitectos Americanos Contemporáneos”) y 1970 (año de su fallecimiento), con el objetivo de construir una imagen más rica y compleja del arquitecto que aquella obtenida únicamente a partir de sus estudios acerca de lo colonial o de su trabajo como restaurador.
Habitando el shock. La experiencia de la casa como fenómeno de impacto
Authors: Puppo María Eugenia
Published: December 2017

Entender la casa contemporánea es vincularla estrechamente con la tecnología. Pero más allá de la tecnología es relacionarla con la complejidad y con el dinamismo en el que está inmerso el hombre actual. Es fundamental percibir cómo se está reinterpretando la arquitectura en un proceso infinito de metamorfosis y virtualidad. Uno de los caminos en que se materializa la vivienda en la arquitectura contemporánea se traduce en el concepto de shock. Es así que esta arquitectura nace como un momento fugaz de la mutación de la vivienda. En consecuencia, las casas mismas parecen explorar la pura experiencia del habitante en ellas, a través de una contradicción de formas, escalas y espacios.

Organic farming has become one of risky farming systems, because its yield could be lower than anorganic farming. Moreover, low yield can lead to a suffer in financial loss on organic farming. This might be caused by the changing in input usage when farmers changed their farming system from anorganic to organic farming. The research was aimed to determine : 1) income’s risk of organic farming by different cropping seasons. 2)income’s risk of organic farming based on its harvested area. The research was designed as descriptive and analytical research. The sampling farmers were selected by using proportioned stratified random sampling, Structural interview and documentational techniques were employed to gain informations about income’s risk in organic farming. Coefficient Variances was employed as primary analytical tool in this research. The result showed that : (1) risk in organic farming can be higher as long as it was applied by farmers. This result was concluded based on Coefficient Variance in farmer’s group both in Mandiri I which has 45,54% and Mandiri IB which has 41,34%. (2) according to Coeffient Variance Analysis, risk in organic farming can be lower if farmers have few harversted area. The Coeffient Variance for each categories in harvested area were : narrow harvested area (47,53%); medium harvested area (34,61%) and large harvested area (24,45%).

O filho da dor: espacialidades em Desde que o samba é samba, de Paulo Lins
Authors: Ferrone Gabriel Capelossi
Published: December 2017

Este trabalho faz uma reflexão em torno de Desde que o samba é samba (2012), segundo romance de Paulo Lins, que recria e ficcionaliza o nascimento e desenvolvimento do Samba no bairro carioca Estácio na década de 1920. Serão apontadas as estratégias narrativas para a construção de múltiplas espacialidades no romance e como a história do Samba e da Umbanda atuam na mobilidade, ou não, das personagens. Além disso, será observada a presença de graus de violência a partir da relação geográfica que os personagens dispõem entre si. Por fim, terão ênfase os múltiplos espaços, simbólicos e físicos, que, ora apresentam tensões e rivalidades desenvolvidas a partir de um relacionamento conturbado entre as pessoas que os dividem, ora aproximam-nas, impulsionadas pelos elementos culturais locais
“Aqui em Rondônia é assim”: representações imaginárias em memes cômicos sobre os rondonienses
Authors: Mota Ilka de Oliveira , Ginach Erich Lie
Published: December 2017

Nos últimos anos, disseminou-se um discurso cômico e pejorativo sobre o estado de Rondônia e seu povo, significados nele como feios, selvagens ou rudes. Nesse contexto apareceu o Discurso do Orgulho Rondoniense (DOR), que, contrapondo-se a esses sentidos negativos, ressignificou alguns deles de modo positivo. Porém, ao fazê-lo, o DOR às vezes produz agressões simbólicas semelhantes às que o motivaram. Colhidas na página encerrada do Facebook “Aqui em Rondônia é assim”, as formulações analisadas são memes cômicos agressivos que mobilizam sentidos de gênero e da oposição rural/urbano para valorizar o rondoniense. Esse artigo procura compreender os efeitos de sentidos dessas imagens e os processos discursivos que as constituem. Baseia-se em categorias da Análise de Discurso de linha materialista e na teoria freudiana do cômico.

Published: December 2017

Neste texto, sob a perspectiva teórica da Análise de Discurso (Pêcheux, 1997), partindo da noção de arquivo e centro de controle das casas de memória, analisamos a reconfiguração da internet colaborativa (web 2.0) e o modo como essa possibilita/permite o ordenamento dos arquivos digitais. Para tanto, tomamos como materialidade significante a rede social Facebook. Interessanos refletir a respeito dos recursos que o “efeito Facebook” colocou em circulação para seus sujeitos-navegadores. Se em seu início, somente fotografias eram partilhadas, hoje, já é possível disponibilizar notícias, textos, vídeos, músicas. Contudo, como mostramos neste trabalho, não sem controles, estabelecidos pela rede, na qual se permitem certas passagens de dizer, de acessar, de guardar e se impedem tantas outras
(Des)igualdade de gênero e a (i)mobilidade urbana contemporânea: uma visão goffmaniana
Authors: Orton Naomi Elizabeth
Published: December 2017

Esse trabalho tem por objetivo examinar as contribuições goffmanianas para o entendimento das interações que se desenvolvem no espaço público e nos movimentos sociais contemporâneos que surgem nele. As questões levantadas advêm de um estudo micro sobre a construção discursiva da horizontalidade por participantes do movimento Massa Crítica. A partir das noções de espaço, tempo e desatenção civil (GOFFMAN, 1963), o artigo busca tecer relações com o contexto macrossocial da via pública metropolitana na atualidade, no qual a investigação se insere. Em seguida, norteado por uma visão construcionista de gênero (GOFFMAN, 1977, 1979), lança-se um olhar crítico sobre práticas naturalizadas não somente no cenário urbano, como também nos próprios movimentos que provocam uma reimaginação de seu uso.
Aldeias indígenas urbanas: fronteiras discursivas e percursos identitários
Authors: Guerra Vânia Maria Lescano , Costa Laura Cristhina Revoredo
Published: December 2017

De uma perspectiva discursiva, este artigo tem como objetivo problematizar o percurso identitário dos indígenas, instaurado nos processos de significação dos discursos, a partir das letras das músicas do grupo de rap indígena Brô MC's. Trata-se de entender as mudanças propiciadas pela relação mutual entre os projetos globais e as histórias locais (MIGNOLO, 2003) que atravessam essas formações discursivas (GUERRA, 2015). Os indígenas estão num locus enunciativo latino-americano: a colonialidade impregna os fazeres sociais e culturais e eles ainda carregam consigo os limites de sua constituição como sujeito marginalizado.

Published: December 2017

Falar do político e do social implica considerar as relações em seu contexto. Por isso, diante das ocorrências atuais no âmbito nacional (envolvendo questões de gênero e direitos das mulheres), ainda que publicado em 1997, o livro Mulheres e Literatura: (Trans)Formando Identidades, organizado por Rita Terezinha Schmidt, mostra sua relevância e atualidade, uma vez que pautas que pareciam seguir para um caminho da resolução pertinente, agora, infelizmente, aparentam retroceder nesse processo. Assim, essa resenha procura discorrer sobre as variadas vozes reunidas por Rita Schmidt para refletir acerca da mulher no contexto literário e cultural, promovendo um diálogo que demonstra a complexidade e multiplicidade pertinentes ao tema discutido.
Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Patients with Mental Illness in a Veterans Inpatient Psychiatric Unit: A Review of the Literature
Authors: McCash John Allen , Abraham Sam
Published: December 2017

Mental illness continues to be a leading cause of stressor especially for veterans in the United States. These problems are affecting the role functioning and relationships. The purpose of this review was to explore extensive literature on the benefits of aerobic exercise that lead to non-pharmacological interventions to help patients who suffer from mental illness in a veterans hospital inpatient mental health unit. Patients admitted to inpatient mental health units have a diagnosis such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, or schizoaffective disorders. They should also meet the diagnostic criteria of suicidal or homicidal ideation. Sometimes it may be a veteran who is unable to care for self or needs medical supervision. Upon conclusion of the literature review, evidence has shown to provide significant data supporting the benefit of aerobic exercises.
The Diagnosis of Acute Compartment Syndrome
Authors: Duckworth Andrew D. , McQueen Margaret M.
Published: December 2017

* Delay in the diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome can have severe and potentially disastrous outcomes for the patient.

* Factors associated with a delayed diagnosis are lack of experience of medical personnel, regional or general anesthesia, polytrauma cases, injuries to the soft tissue, and the use of clinical signs alone when making the diagnosis.

* Youth has been identified as the key risk factor associated with confirmed cases of acute compartment syndrome, and over two-thirds of cases are associated with an underlying fracture.

* Although pain is characteristically the index sign associated with the development of acute compartment syndrome, clinical findings in isolation have been proven to have inadequate diagnostic performance characteristics, with sensitivity ranging from 13% to 54%.

* Intracompartmental pressure monitoring is recommended for patients at risk, given the documented high estimated sensitivity (94%) and specificity (98%) for the diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome when using a slit catheter technique and a differential pressure threshold of 30 mmHg for >2 hours.

Authors: Santos Carlos , Veloso Eduarda , Santos Joana
Published: December 2017

Antecedentes: Conocer la relación de la edad cronológica con la aparición de las habilidades de los niños en el medio ambiente acuático, permite una prescripción ajustada de su actividad en este contexto.Objetivos: Conocer la secuencia de desarrollo del desplazamiento del niño en el agua, incluso con menos de 2 años de edad, es algo todavía inexplorado, por lo que la validación de las herramientas que permiten este análisis, se asume como un primer paso a seguir.Método: En primer lugar, 22 niños entre 5 y 36 meses de edad, fueron vistos y filmados, asistiendo a un programa de "natación infantil", para identificar los patrones de desplazamiento más comunes y los posibles niveles de desarrollo. Simultáneamente, con el mismo objetivo, se realizó un análisis bibliográfico sobre las metodologías de intervención pedagógica.Resultados: Los registros filmados y el análisis de la bibliografía permitieron la construcción de una matriz, compuesta por 5 categorías de desarrollo, que fue sometida, para la validación de contenido, al escrutinio de dos evaluadores especializados, lo consideraron válido. Para comprobar su objetividad y fiabilidad, se recogieron imágenes representativas de cada categoría en un universo de 55 niños entre 5 meses y 5 años, permitiendo la visualización de una película de validación por 2 observadores previamente entrenados, quienes evaluaron el desplazamiento de los niños. Se midió el valor de acuerdo de sus evaluaciones en un dado momento y 24 horas después. Los valores de concordancia interobservador y fiabilidad fueron del 100%.Conclusiones: El instrumento se consideró válido.Palabras clave: bebé, ambiente acuático, evaluación, maduración, desplazamiento.

Authors: Albarracín Pérez Apolonia , Moreno Murcia Juan Antonio
Published: December 2017

Antecedentes: La formación del profesorado es una pieza clave en la calidad de la labor docente. Dado que las actividadesacuáticas no están incluidas en la legislación educativa, será el profesor quien decida su inclusión o no, y esto nos lleva a pensarque puede depender de su formación al respecto. Además, el nivel de formación inicial y continua de los diferentes docentes deeducación física varía, tomando gran importancia en la aplicación de las mismas.Objetivos: El principal objetivo del estudio ha consistido en comprobar la formación en los contenidos acuáticos por parte delprofesorado de educación física.Método: A 176 profesores de educación física de una región española se le ha consultado sobre dichos contenidos relacionándolocon el sexo, la titulación, la situación laboral, la experiencia docente, el tipo de cursos realizados, quién impartió las clases deactividades acuáticas y la opinión de aspectos generales de educación física sobre la inclusión de las actividades acuáticas en elámbito escolar.Resultados: Tras el análisis, pocos docentes han reconocido que las actividades acuáticas no se introducen habitualmente en lasprogramaciones por no estar formados para ello, a pesar de que el mayor número de docentes acordaba que muchos compañerosdesconocen las posibles aplicaciones de estos contenidos en su materia. La antinguedad en el cetnro, la formación inicial, la edad,y la formación continua en actividades acuáticas, etc., influyen de diferente modo en la aplicación de las actividades acuáticas enel ámbito escolar.Conclusiones: La formación inicial y continua es decisiva para la implantación de las actividades acuáticas, siendo una apuestadecisiva para la implantación en los centros escolares de forma adecuada y útil.Palabras clave: actividades acuáticas; formación; natación; habilidades acuáticas; docente.
Estratégia Organizacional Social e Ambientalmente Responsável: A Articulação entre a Competência Essencial e a Vantagem Competitiva em um Aterro Sanitário
Authors: Spalenza André Sarmento , Silva Junior Annor Da
Published: December 2017

Investigou-se neste estudo como a relação entre a competência essencial e a vantagem competitiva viabilizam a estratégia organizacional social e ambientalmente responsável. Para isto, articulou-se duas temáticas centrais: a estratégia e a sustentabilidade. Neste estudo, a discussão sobre a estratégia volta-se para a perspectiva da visão baseada em recursos (VBR) para abordar os conceitos de competência essencial e vantagem competitiva. Nos últimos anos, a sustentabilidade tem sido apontada como um dos temas de maior relevância para o meio acadêmico e empresarial, sobretudo pela constatação da limitação (ou escassez) de recursos, pela necessidade de se pensar no longo prazo (gerações futuras) e pela necessidade das organizações em conciliar e equilibrar as dimensões econômica, social e ambiental em seus objetivos empresariais. Metodologicamente, realizou-se um estudo de caso qualitativo em um aterro sanitário localizado na Região Metropolitana que abrange a capital do Estado do Espírito Santo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de triangulação ao combinar pesquisa documental, observação assistemática e entrevistas individuais em profundidade. O tratamento dos dados ocorreu por meio da análise temática de conteúdo. A síntese dos resultados indica que a articulação entre a competência essencial e vantagem competitiva viabilizou pelo menos cinco estratégias organizacionais social e ambientalmente responsáveis, quais sejam, inovação, diferenciação, diversificação, socioambiental e imagem. Apesar de uma aparente conciliação equitativa entre as dimensões econômica, social e ambiental do Triple Bottom Line (TBL) e do conceito de sustentabilidade, o que se observa na prática é que a lucratividade prevalece perante as demais dimensões.
Empirical study of the fiscal policy impact on economic growth
Authors: Pasichnyi Mykola
Published: December 2017

The challenges of economic globalization, recession, and the essential changes in market conditions, as well as the financial institutionalization, determine the expediency of the new studies to explore the impact of fiscal instruments on the dynamics of economic growth and social stability. This paper examines the role of fiscal policy in the economic growth ensuring in advanced and emerging market economies over the period from 2001 to 2015. The research indicates the growing role of the state (in general) and the budget (in particular) in regulation of social and economic processes. Based on the methods of economic regression, the interrelations between government spending and GDP growth in different groups of countries were evaluated. The study emphasized the directions to increase the positive influence of budget policy on economic development for countries with emerging market economies. This can be achieved by harmonization of the tax burden and structure, improving the use of budget funds, conducting structural optimization of budget expenditures, further development of financial and budget institutions, implementation of the fiscal constraints and rules while forming the basic indicators of fiscal policy.

Applications of ultrasound imaging system for measuring water-sand parameters during sediment transport process in hydraulic model experiments
Authors: Zou Xianjian , Wang Chuanying , Song Huan , Han Zengqiang , Ma Zhimin , Hu Weinbin
Published: December 2017

Moving particles and the topographic bed under muddy water or in sediment-laden flow are often clouded by suspended sediments, making it hard to detect or analyze for visualization. This paper concerns applications of ultrasound imaging measurement method for the visual measurement of related water-sand parameters during sediment transport process in hydraulic model experiments. We use a B-mode ultrasound imaging system to measure the related parameters of suspended sediment concentration (SSC), underwater topographic riverbed, flow velocity and sediment incipient motion, conducted at a water channel. A comprehensive measuring system for the visualization of multiple water-sand parameters is established. Results show that the measurement and analysis of SSC and its space distribution, topography bedform, flow velocity and flow field, and sediment incipient velocity can be realized. Ultrasound imaging measurements of SSC and their space distribution can be shown in real time, and also dynamic monitoring and analysis of sediment incipient motion and topography bedform during the sediment transport process. This method realizes the experimental visualization of the topographic bed and sediment-laden flow. Application of an ultrasound imaging measurement system has promoted the development of sediment movement law research and related hydraulic model experiment measurement technique.
The effect of sodium thiosulfate dechlorination on fecal indicator bacteria enumeration: laboratory and field data
Authors: Murray Anna L. , Kumpel Emily , Peletz Rachel , Khush Ranjiv S. , Lantagne Daniele S.
Published: December 2017

In microbiological water quality testing, sample dechlorination with sodium thiosulfate is recommended to ensure that results accurately reflect the water quality at sample collection. Nevertheless, monitoring institutions in low-resource settings do not always dechlorinate samples, and there is limited research describing how this practice impacts drinking water quality results. The effect of dechlorination on indicator bacteria counts was evaluated by spiking laboratory water with five Escherichia coli (E. coli) concentrations (104–108 CFU/100 mL), chlorinating at six doses (0–0.6 mg/L), holding samples with and without sodium thiosulfate for 5–7 hours, and enumerating E. coli by membrane filtration with m-lauryl sulfate media. Additionally, sub-Saharan African water suppliers enumerated thermotolerant coliform by membrane filtration in paired chlorinated water samples collected with and without sodium thiosulfate. Across all E. coli and chlorine doses in the laboratory, and all field tests, samples held without sodium thiosulfate had lower bacteria counts (p < 0.001). Additionally, chlorinated water supply samples held without sodium thiosulfate had an 87.5% false negative rate. Results indicate the importance of dechlorinating microbiological water quality samples, discarding data from chlorinated samples collected without dechlorination, and reinforcing dechlorination recommendations in resource-limited environments to improve water safety management.
Season matters when sampling streams for swine CAFO waste pollution impacts
Authors: Mallin Michael A. , McIver Matthew R.
Published: December 2017

Concentrated (or confined) animal feed operations (CAFOs) are the principal means of livestock production in the United States, and such facilities pollute nearby waterways because of their waste management practices; CAFO waste is pumped from the confinement structure into a cesspit and sprayed on a field. Stocking Head Creek is located in eastern North Carolina, a state with >9,000,000 head of swine confined in CAFOs. This watershed contains 40 swine CAFOs; stream water quality was investigated at seven sites during 2016, with five sampling dates in early spring and five in summer. Geometric mean fecal coliform counts were in the thousands/100 mL at five sites in spring and all seven sites in summer. Excessive nitrate pollution was widespread with concentrations up to >11.0 mg N/L. Seasonality played an important role in pollutant concentrations. In North Carolina, spraying animal waste on adjoining fields is permissible from March 1 through September 30. Seasonal data showed significantly higher (p < 0.01) concentrations of conductivity, nitrate, total nitrogen, total organic carbon, and fecal bacteria in summer as opposed to early spring. Thus, sampling performed only in winter–early spring would significantly underestimate impacts from swine CAFO spray fields on nearby waterways.

The changes those occur in a woman’s body following menopause are deteriorative, and lead
to several health issues. Though some of the health issues including amenorrhea, night sweats,
frequent mood swings, cramp pains etc. which a woman experiences during the onset of menopause
gradually decrease as her postmenopausal days progress, yet some new detrimental gradual changes
occur in her physiological system during the postmenopausal periods.

Conclusion:

Proper diet, improved lifestyle, self-care, slightest basic precautions and medical aids can
help to minimise the ailments which worsen the life of a postmenopausal woman. Awareness and care
for postmenopausal Indian women are extremely necessary for providing better life, improved health
status and enhanced longevity to them (the mothers) leading to a healthy and developing society.

Published: December 2017

Intoroduction:

Prodrug approach deals with chemical biotransformation or enzymatic conversion or involves inactive or less active bio-reversible derivatives of active drug molecules. They have to pass through enzymatic or chemical biotransformation before eliciting their pharmacological action.

Methods & Materials:

The two different pharmacophores combine to give synergistic activity or may help in targeting the active drug to its target. Prodrug super seeds the problems of prodrug designing, for example solubility enhancement, bioavailability enhancement, chemical stability improvement, presystemic metabolism, site specific delivery, toxicity masking, improving patient acceptance, or eradicating undesirable adverse effects.

Results:

As an outcome the search for a prodrug or mutual prodrug with reduced toxicity has continued during recent years. This present review emphasizes the common help to revamp physiochemical, pharmaceutical and therapeutic effectiveness of drugs.

Conclusion:

This gives the researcher a common platform where they can find prodrugs of commonly used NSAIDs to overcome the gastrointestinal toxicity (irritation, ulcergenocity and bleeding).
Protective Effect of Anti-Phosphatidylserine Antibody in a Guinea Pig Model of Advanced Hemorrhagic Arenavirus Infection
Authors: Thomas John M. , Thorpe Philip E.
Published: December 2017

Objective:

Host derived markers on virally infected cells or virions may provide targets for the generation of antiviral agents. Recently, we identified phosphatidylserine (PS) as a host marker of virions and virally-infected cells.

Methods and Materials:

Under normal physiological conditions, PS is maintained on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane facing the cytosol. Following viral infection, activation or pre-apoptotic changes cause PS to become externalized. We have previously shown that bavituximab, a chimeric human-mouse antibody that binds PS complexed with β2-glycoprotein I (β2GP1), protected rodents against lethal Pichinde virus and cytomegalovirus infections.

Results:

Here, we determined the antiviral activity of a fully human monoclonal antibody, PGN632, that directly binds to PS. Treatment with PGN632 protected 20% of guinea pigs with advanced infections of the hemorrhagic arenavirus, Pichinde, from death. Combining PGN632 with ribavirin improved the antiviral activity of both agents, such that the combination rescued 50% of animals from death.

Conclusion:

The major mechanisms of action of PGN632 appear to be opsonization of virus and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity of virally-infected cells. PS-targeting agents may have utility in the treatment of viral diseases.

Published: December 2017

Introduction:

Nanomaterials are attractive because of these exhibits catalytic activity, optical, magnetic, electrically conducting properties and biological activities. Besides the potential economic values, the benefits offered by nanomaterials are expected to have significant impacts on almost all sectors of our society. The industries are releasing the nanoparticles into nearby water bodies like ponds, rivers, which causes toxicity to aquatic flora as well as fauna. Nanoparticles, especially which are prepared using heavy metals being toxic to organisms, ranging from phytoplankton (at the bottom of the food chain) to marine invertebrates such as oysters, snails and different types of fish, especially in their immature stages. Many species of fish and shellfish disrupts the ecosystem health on exposure to metals nanoparticles. Albeit, the academicians and researchers are trying to understand the toxicity of metal nanoparticles, particularly with respect to cascade pathways that lead to inflammatory responses, there is need to prepare and urgent implement laws to manage potential risks of nanomaterials which might become a major catastrophe in coming future.

Conclusion:

In the present review, the emphasis has given on the synthesis, characterization and toxic effects of metal nanoparticles on aquatic fauna and also the future tremendous prospects of these toxicants.
Experimental investigation of the weldability of tubular dissimilar materials using the electromagnetic welding process
Authors: Roeygens Lodewijk , De Waele Wim , Faes Koen
Published: December 2017

This paper describes the magnetic pulse welding process (MPW) for tubes. Material combinations of aluminium to steel and copper to aluminium were experimentally evaluated. The first major goal of this work is to experimentally obtain the optimal input parameters like the discharge energy, the stand-off distance and the tool overlap for MPW of the material combinations. Welding windows with all possible input parameters are created for both material combinations. Furthermore, a comparison is done between three coil systems; a single turn coil with field shaper, a single turn coil with a field shaper and transformer and a multi-turn coil and field shaper. Metallographic investigation of the samples, hardness tests and leak tests were executed to determine the most suitable machine set-up and the optimal input parameters for each set-up. A second major goal is to determine the influence of the target tube wall thickness on the deformation of tube-tube welds when no internal support is used.

Over the past three decades, woody species potentially useful for reforestation, fuelwood, coal and timber production have been over-exploited along the Gulf of Mexico, which has led to a gradual decline in the plant population and the progressive degradation of the environment. The present research evaluated the establishment, growth, and production of fuelwood from a plantation of five eucalyptus species planted in randomly arranged plots on a cleared clayey loam alkali soil in a semi-arid region of northeastern Mexico for a 20 year period. Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. tereticornis and E. microtheca showed the highest average height growth rate (1.07 m year-1, 0.93 m year-1 and 0.85 m year-1, respectively). E. camaldulensis showed the highest volume values at 20 years (58.55 m3 ha-1), followed by E. tereticornis (54.15 m3 ha-1) and E. microtheca (51.91 m3 ha-1). E. sideroxylun and E. crebra yielded the lowest tree volumes (35.12 m3 ha-1 and 30.45 m3 ha-1, respectively). The results have shown that the adaptability of eucalyptus species to the climate of the subtropical regions allows their use in combination with the native vegetation to colonize degraded areas offering services in timber and non-timber products to the local population. In addition, the production of exotic trees with large trunk diameter with few side branches may increase the volume of the wood exploited and the income to the owner of the land and, thus, reduce the pressure on the native species.

The objective of this study was to characterize the composition and structure of a forest ejido in the state of Durango. To this end, 10 sampling sites of 2500 m2 were established, within which a census was conducted of all tree species. On each individuals measurements of normal diameter (d1,30), total height (h), of crown diameter (dcopa) were made and the species to which each individual belonged was recorded. For each species the index of value importance family (IVIF), index of value importance (IVI), index value forestry were obtained and the total volume calculated. The Shannon (H´) and Margalef indices (DMG) were also calculated. In total 13 species, five genders and five families were recorded. This forest area had a density of 787 ind ha-1, a dominance (basal area) 22,93 m2 ha-1 and a crown cover of 8838 m2 ha-1. Pinus durangensis had the highest value of importance index with 35,69% of IVIrel and the largest value forestry index with 48,96% IVFrel. With all of the above, quantitative elements of the timberline in a heterogeneous forest of the Sierra Madre Occidental were provided.

Published: December 2017

En el control y supervisión del manejo forestal, realizar auditorías en zonas aprovechadas y/o cuantificar cortas clandestinas requiere la estimación del diámetro normal (d), altura total (h) o volumen (v) para caracterizar la masa original y a partir de ella, estimar los volúmenes extraídos. Cuando el árbol ya no existe, no se tiene la medida del diámetro normal (d), pero la estimación del mismo o de otras variables se puede realizar en función del diámetro del tocón (dt). Esta relación alométrica puede utilizarse para calcular los volúmenes faltantes. El objetivo fue ajustar ecuaciones que describan el diámetro normal, altura y volumen como una función del diámetro del tocón de árboles de Abies religiosa (Kunth) Schltdl. et Cham., en Tancítaro, Michoacán, México. Se realizó un muestreo en 71 sitios y 1745 pares de datos dt-d, dt-h y d-v; incluyendo todas las categorías diamétricas y de alturas. En SAS 9.0, usando procedimiento Model y el método de máxima verosimilitud, se ajustaron modelos lineales y no lineales para predecir d, h y v. Con base en el nivel de significancia de los parámetros de los modelos, sus estimadores de bondad de ajuste, la prueba la normalidad de los datos, homogeneidad de varianza, autocorrelación de los errores y la capacidad predictiva de los mismos, se puede inferir que estos son válidos para predecir el d, h y v en función del dt. Todos los modelos explican más de 91% de la variabilidad de los datos.
