Authors: Gómez-Juaristi Miren , Sarria Beatriz , Martínez-López Sara , Bravo Clemente Laura , Mateos Raquel
Published: June 2019

Cocoa has beneficial health effects partly due to its high flavanol content. This study was aimed at assessing the absorption and metabolism of polyphenols in two soluble cocoa products: a conventional (CC) and a flavanol-rich product (CC-PP). A crossover, randomized, blind study was performed in 13 healthy men and women. On two different days, after an overnight fast, volunteers consumed one serving of CC (15 g) or CC-PP (25 g) in 200 mL of semi-skimmed milk containing 19.80 mg and 68.25 mg of flavanols, respectively. Blood and urine samples were taken, before and after CC and CC-PP consumption, and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionisation and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-QToF-MS). Up to 10 and 30 metabolites were identified in plasma and urine, respectively. Phase II derivatives of epicatechin were identified with kinetics compatible with small intestine absorption, although the most abundant groups of metabolites were phase II derivatives of phenyl-γ-valerolactone and phenylvaleric acid, formed at colonic level. 5-(4′-Hydroxyphenyl)-γ-valerolactone-sulfate could be a sensitive biomarker of cocoa flavanol intake. CC and CC-PP flavanols showed a dose-dependent absorption with a recovery of 35%. In conclusion, cocoa flavanols are moderately bioavailable and extensively metabolized, mainly by the colonic microbiota.
Genome-Wide Analysis of Serine/Arginine-Rich Protein Family in Wheat and Brachypodium distachyon
Authors: Chen Shoukun , Li Jiawei , Liu Yue , Li Haifeng
Published: June 2019

By regulating the pre-mRNA splicing of other genes and themselves, plant serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins play important roles in development and in response to abiotic stresses. Presently, the functions of most plant SR protein genes remain unclear. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Brachypodium distachyon are closely related species. In this study, 40 TaSR and 18 BdSR proteins were identified respectively, and they were classified into seven subfamilies: SR, RS, SCL, RSZ, RS2Z, SC35, and SR45. Similar to Arabidopsis and rice SR protein genes, most TaSR and BdSR protein genes are expressed extensively. Surprisingly, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses showed that no alternative splicing event was found in TaSR protein genes, and only six BdSR protein genes are alternatively spliced genes. The detected alternatively spliced BdSR protein genes and transcripts are much fewer than in Arabidopsis, rice, maize, and sorghum. In the promoter regions, 92 development-related, stress-related, and hormone-related cis-elements were detected, indicating their functions in development and in response to environmental stresses. Meanwhile, 19 TaSR and 16 BdSR proteins were predicted to interact with other SR proteins or non-SR proteins, implying that they are involved in other functions in addition to modulating pre-mRNA splicing as essential components of the spliceosome. These results lay a foundation for further analyses of these genes.

Published: June 2019

In order to improve the efficiency and convenience of wind energy storage and solve the reproducibility of the hydraulic wind turbine, we present a storage type wind turbine with an innovative hybrid hydraulic transmission, which was adopted in the development of a 600 kW storage type wind turbine experimental platform. The whole hydraulic system of the storage type wind turbine is mainly an ingenious combination of a closed loop transmission and an open loop one, which can also be divided into three parts: hydraulic variable speed, hydraulic energy storage, power generation. For the study focusing on the capture and storage of wind energy, the mathematical model of the wind turbine except for the power generation was established under MATLAB/Simulink. A double closed loop control strategy is proposed to achieve the wind wheel speed regulation and wind energy storage. The dynamic simulations of the 600 kW storage type wind turbine experimental prototype were carried out under two different input signals. The results show that the wind wheel speed achieves the desired value at fast response and high precision using the control method given in this paper, and the proposed new storage type wind turbine is reasonable and practical.
Astrotourism and Night Sky Brightness Forecast: First Probabilistic Model Approach
Authors: C-Sánchez Eleazar , Sánchez-Medina Agustín J. , Alonso-Hernández Jesús B. , Voltes-Dorta Augusto
Published: June 2019

Celestial tourism, also known as astrotourism, astronomical tourism or, less frequently, star tourism, refers to people’s interest in visiting places where celestial phenomena can be clearly observed. Stars, skygazing, meteor showers or comets, among other phenomena, arouse people’s interest, however, good night sky conditions are required to observe such phenomena. From an environmental point of view, several organisations have surfaced in defence of the protection of dark night skies against light pollution, while from an economic point of view; the idea also opens new possibilities for development in associated areas. The quality of dark skies for celestial tourism can be measured by night sky brightness (NSB), which is used to quantify the visual perception of the sky, including several light sources at a specific point on earth. The aim of this research is to model the nocturnal sky brightness by training and testing a probabilistic model using real NSB data. ARIMA and artificial neural network models have been applied to open NSB data provided by the Globe at Night international programme, with the results of this first model approach being promising and opening up new possibilities for astrotourism. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, probabilistic models have not been applied to NSB forecasting.
Cross-Layer Routing for a Mobility Support Protocol Based on Handover Mechanism in Cluster-Based Wireless Sensor Networks with Mobile Sink
Authors: Zahra Maamar , Wang Yulin , Ding Wenjia
Published: June 2019

Wireless sensor networks with mobile collectors or sinks face some challenges regarding the data collection process and the continuous connectivity and delivering of data while the mobile sink is moving throughout the network. These challenges increase as the network grows. For this aim, we propose in this paper a cross-layer routing protocol which supports mobility for large-scale wireless sensor networks, which we name CLR-MSPH. We adapt CLR-MSPH for the hierarchical architecture of the network, and it performs on cluster-based wireless sensor networks where the network is organized in clusters. Our proposed protocol deals with the problem of handover data after the mobile sink leaves the radio range of cluster head without sending all data stored in the cluster head’s buffer. We also introduce a mobility model for the mobile sink for a better data collection process. CLR-MSPH is considered as an extending implementation of BMAC protocol with handover mechanism (BMAC-H). In order to prove the efficiency of the proposed protocol, we compare CLR-MSPH to BMAC-H, where we adapted BMAC-H to perform in cluster-based wireless sensor networks. The simulation results show that CLR-MSPH performs better than BMAC-H in terms of packets reception rate, energy, and latency.
Border and Migration Controls and Migrant Precarity in the Context of Climate Change
Authors: Bates-Eamer Nicole
Published: June 2019

Climate change impacts natural and human systems, including migration patterns. But isolating climate change as the driver of migration oversimplifies a complex and multicausal phenomenon. This article brings together the literature on global migration and displacement, environmental migration, vulnerability and precarity, and borders and migration governance to examine the ways in which climate-induced migrants experience precarity in transit. Specifically, it assesses the literature on the ways in which states create or amplify precarity in multiple ways: through the use of categories, by externalizing borders, and through investments in border infrastructures. Overall, the paper suggests that given the shift from governance regimes purportedly based on protection and facilitation to regimes based on security, deterrence, and enforcement, borders are complicit in producing and amplifying the vulnerability of migrants. The phenomenon of climate migration is particularly explicative in demonstrating how these regimes, which categorize individuals based on why they move, are and will continue to be unable to manage future migration flows.

Published: June 2019

In this study, we present a low-cost and simple method to treat spent lead–acid battery wastewater using quicklime and slaked lime. The sulfate and lead were successfully removed using the precipitation method. The structure of quicklime, slaked lime, and resultant residues were measured by X-ray diffraction. The obtained results show that the sulfate removal efficiencies were more than 97% for both quicklime and slaked lime and the lead removal efficiencies were 49% for quicklime and 53% for slaked lime in a non-carbonation process. After the carbonation step, the sulfate removal efficiencies were slightly decreased but the lead removal efficiencies were 68.4% for quicklime and 69.3% for slaked lime which were significantly increased compared with the non-carbonation process. This result suggested that quicklime, slaked lime, and carbon dioxide can be a potential candidate for the removal of sulfate and lead from industrial wastewater treatment.
A Study on Consumers’ Preferences for the Palace Museum’s Cultural and Creative Products from the Perspective of Cultural Sustainability
Authors: Tu Jui-Che , Liu Li-Xia , Cui Yang
Published: June 2019

In recent years, the development and design of the cultural and creative products of the Palace Museum in Beijing have become a hot topic in the product design field. Many critics have pointed out that cultural and creative products have failed to faithfully convey the implied meanings of the cultural stories of the Palace Museum. To effectively narrow the cognitive gap between designers and consumers, designers must urgently clarify the relationship between different design attributes and consumer preferences. The questionnaires were used to obtain data from 297 subjects. Through SPSS statistical software, the results were analyzed by descriptive statistics, explore factor analysis (EFA), independent sample t-test, and ANOVA to explore consumers’ attitudes and preferences on the Palace Museum’s cultural and creative products. The results showed that consumers attach great importance to factors such as “cultural connotation” and “unique creativity” when choosing the Palace Museum’s cultural and creative products. The consumer in different genders had significant differences in the design factors of the Palace Museum’s cultural and creative products. There were significant differences in the factors of “Forbidden City culture”, “cultural sustainability” and “traditional culture” to different educational backgrounds. There were significant differences in the factor of “Forbidden City culture” to different ages. There were significant differences in the factors of “cultural traits” and “cultural identity” between the with and without a design background groups. The results of this study will identify the key factors for the design of the Palace’s Museum cultural and creative products and provide references for designers.

Empirical evidence is lacking on the nexus between coffee commodity output, climate change, and commodity price volatility of Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, and other developing countries. To fill this gap, this study analyzed the reaction of coffee output to climate change and commodity price volatility. We used secondary data from 1961 to 2015 from reliable sources for Nigeria. The study adopted generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH), autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH), and fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) in analysis of coffee output reaction to climate change and commodity price volatility. The findings show that coffee output in Nigeria is influenced by climate change and the international commodity price of coffee. The study demonstrates the potential benefits of improving coffee output and export through climate mitigation and adaptation measures and revival of agricultural commodity marketing in Nigeria and other developing countries.

Published: June 2019

Regional long-term water management plans depend increasingly on investments by local water users such as farmers. However, local circumstances and individual situations vary and investment decisions are made under uncertainty. Water users may therefore perceive the costs and benefits very differently, leading to non-uniform investment decisions. This variation can be explored using crossover points. A crossover point represents conditions in which a decision maker assigns equal preference to competing alternatives. This paper presents, applies, and evaluates a framework extending the use of the concept of crossover points to a participatory process in a group setting. We applied the framework in a case study in the Coal River Valley of Tasmania, Australia. Here, farmers can choose from multiple water sources. In this case, the focus on crossover points encouraged participants to engage in candid discussions exploring the personal lines of reasoning underlying their preferences. Participants learned from others’ inputs, and group discussions elicited information and insights considered valuable for both the participants and for outsiders on the factors that influence preferences. We conclude that the approach has a high potential to facilitate learning in groups and to support planning.
Thoracic Endometriosis
Authors: Saleh, M.D Mohey M. , Darwich Noor Sameh , Ahmad , M.D. Ejaz
Published: June 2019

Abstract: A recurrent hemorrhagic pleural effusion in a woman during her reproductive years
may be the clinical presentation of thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) . We report here a
case of a recurrent bloody right pleural effusion in a young female who had a history of pelvic
endometriosis. Thoracic endometriosis with pleural involvement was confirmed by pleural biopsy which showed focal involvement of functional endometrial tissue within the pleura. The patient underwent pleurectomy and talc pleurodesis without recurrence of the pleural fluid.
A hemorrhagic pleural effusion due to thoracic endometriosis may mimic other conditions
including pulmonary thromboembolism, trauma, malignancy, tuberculosis, and others. Thoracic
endometriosis should be in the differential diagnosis of a bloody pleural effusion in women of
childbearing age, particularly in a patient with an established diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis.
Determining whether coeliac disease case-finding in primary care is better than random testing: a retrospective study
Authors: Chandler Kim , Robins Gerry
Published: June 2019

Background

Over 75% of patients (approximately half a million) with coeliac disease in the UK have not been formally diagnosed.

Aim

To determine if case-finding of coeliac disease is better than random testing in primary care.

Design & setting

A pragmatic study looked at all referrals across a 12-month period (December 2013–November 2014) for coeliac serology testing and the indications for testing across 38 GP practices in a well-defined geographical area in North Yorkshire. There was further follow-up for an additional 12 months to determine conversion of positive serology to duodenal biopsy.

Method

All serology samples sent into York Hospital biochemistry department during the study period were analysed for the indication for testing. Positive results were cross-referenced for duodenal biopsies over the following 12 months on the York Hospital pathology database.

Results

Case-finding of coeliac patients in primary care is no better than random testing of the population. Only 71% of patients with positive serology went on to have a duodenal biopsy in the following 12 months.

Conclusion

More education of the population and of primary care physicians is needed around the indications for checking for coeliac disease. It may be that primary care is not the best place to case-find patients with coeliac disease.

Studies of the effects of N fertilizers and Microbion UNC biofertilizer on microelement content of horseradish (Armoracia macrocarpa)
Authors: Balla Kovács Andrea
Published: June 2019

A field experiment on calcareous chernozem soil was performed to study the effects of different N and bacterial fertilizers on the nutrient content of horseradish (Armoracia macrocarpa). In the experiment the trials were arranged in a randomized block design with three replications, applying three levels of NH4NO3 and different N fertilizers, namely ammonium-nitrate, urea and calcium-nitrate, with or without application of Microbion UNC biofertilizer.In the present paper the changes and distribution of manganese, zinc and copper contents of the horseradish plant are summarized by theeffect of different treatments.The Mn content of leaves were higher in all cases than those of roots, but Zn mainly accumulated in the roots. The distribution of copper within the horseradish plant was more equalized than that of Zn and Mn. Different N fertilizers and increasing doses of ammonium-nitrate had effects mainly on the microelement contents of leaves. The highest Mn contents of plant were measured in treatments of Ca(NO3)2 and Ca(NO3)2+Microbion. The lowest ammonium nitrate dose (N1) decreased the Mn content of leaves compared to control, but further doses(N2, N3) did not alter these values any longer. Microbion UNC biofertilizer did not have any effect on the Mn content of roots, but we measured higher Mn in leaves in some combined treatments. Ca(NO3)2 increased the zinc content in leaves and roots in a noticable manner. With the increasing of NH4NO3 doses, the Zn content of leaves and roots augmented significantly. Neither N fertilizers (or the increasing doses of NH4NO3) nor the biofertilizer application influenced the Cu content of horseradish plant. N fertilizers had higher effects on the microelement content of horseradish, the biofertilizer’s effect was smaller and was not the same in every treatment.
Intensity of free radical processes in the leaves of arboreal plants under act of industrial dust borne extracts
Authors: Piskova Olga , Gryshko Vitalii
Published: June 2019

The influence of industrial pollutants on the intensity of lipid peroxidation in the assimilatory organs of arboreal plant was investigated. The differential changes of the probed indexes are set depending on the species. Information is got can testify to participation of lipid peroxidation products in forming of reactions-answers of arboreal plants on influence of industrial dust borne extract with content of heavy metals. Determination of level and rates of accumulation of Zn, Ni, Pb and Cd, in the leaves of arboreal plants in the conditions of different contamination level allowed to take species to two groups. To the first (phytoextraction potential exceeds a base-line level in 10 times) belong Populus bolleana Lauche, P. italica (Du Roi) Moench, Picea pungens Engelm and Sorbus aucuparia L. To the second (exceeds a base-line level from 5 to 10 times) belong Acer negundo L., Aesculus hippocastanum L., Betula pendula Roth and Tilia cordata Mill. The most substantial increase of peroxidation secondary product content (more than in 2.5 times) is peculiar for B. pendula, A. hippocastanum and P. pungens Engelm., that well conforms to the rates of heavy metals translocation, it has however species-specific character.
Species-specificity of the glutathione reduced form accumulation in the arboreal plants, testing influence of industrial emissions
Authors: Syshchykov Dmitry
Published: June 2019

Conducted are researches of dynamics of glutathione reduced form maintenance in the leaves of arboreal plants which grow in the zones of different level of contamination by industrial emissions of“Red Lead Factory” LTD and ArselorMittal Kryvyi Rig. For comparison, similar  investigations were conducted in the intact Botanic Garden in s.c.t. Sofievka. Findings testify to absence of negative influence of industrial emissions and, thus, the arboretum of botanical garden also can be examined as conditional control. It was stated that it is set a few strategies of active oxygen forms and their metabolites deactivation, appearing in cells under action of environment negative factors. To our opinion, fluctuation of glutathione reduced form maintenance can examine as an index of plants stability, on which investigational species can be distributed on steady and moderato steady.
The main influencing factors effecting the yield of maize

Published: June 2019

Maize is one of Hungary’s major cereals. In the 1970s and 1980s, we were in the frontline regarding yields and genetic advancement. However, yield fluctuation in maize has increased to 50-60% from 10-20% since the 1980s, which was partly caused by the increase in weather extremes due to climate change and by agrotechnical shortcomings.The experiments were carried out on typical meadow soil in four repetitions in the period of 2007-2008. In the sowing time experiment, sowing was performed on 10 April, 25 April, 15 May under a uniform fertilization of N120, P2O580 K2O 110 kg/ha. In the fertilization experiment, the yielding capacity of 10 hybrids with different genetic characteristics was studied in a control (non-fertilized) treatment and basic treatment of N40 P2O5 25, K2O 30 kg ha-1 active ingredient and a treatment with fivefold dosages of the basic treatment. In the plant density experiment, the relationship between plant density and yield was analysed at plant densities of 45, 60 and 75 thousand plants per ha. We found a tight correlation between sowing time and yield and grain moisture content at harvest. We found that grain moisture can be reduced by 5-10% by applying an earlier sowing time.The agroecological optimum fertilizer dosage was N 40-120, P2O5 25-75, K2O 30-90 kg ha-1 active ingredient at a plant density of 60-90 thousand plants ha-1 depending on the hybrid and the year.
Remembrance to László Huzián (1923-1996)
Authors: Bozsik András
Published: June 2019

László Huzián was a determining personality of the higher education of Hungarian crop protection more precisely that of the agricultural entomology. Training of the scientific and extension specialists of Hungarian agricultural entomology from 1960 till 1983 would have been unimaginable without him. He was the builder of the agricultural entomology school established by Gusztáv Adolf Manninger, the developer of the training’s essential and organisational standard, who sacrificed his life’s work for developing the crop protection. He found, characterized many pests (E.g. Scrobipalpa ocellatella, Lixus scabricollis, Tanymecus palliatus, Mesagroicus obscurus) new for the Hungarian fauna and worked out a control technology against them. It is important to mention his activity in creating the forecasting of the big field crop animal pests mainly that of the sugar beet pests. One top of his educational work was the wonderful manual „Agricultural Entomology” written with Sándor Bognár in 1979. László Szalay-Marzsó said of this book that it was impossible to write a better one. He has been right. The magnificent crop protection library and the unique richness and accuracy of the animal demonstration material (slides, pictures, preparates, showcases, etc.) established at the Gödöllő University of Agriculture can be thanked to his extraordinary systematizing mentality and tireless efforts.

The research conducted aims to obtain an overview of the education and training budget for improving the professionalism of teachers in Mamuju district, using a qualitative approach. The technique used in determining research informants is purposive sampling. The data collection was carried out with participatory observation techniques, semi-structured interviews and document review. The results of the study show that the education and training budget planning process for increasing the professionalism of teachers in Mamuju District is not yet fully ideal for implementing the five principles that are theoretically believed to be good budgeting principles in the public sector. There are many influential factors in the budget planning process, namely apparatus resources, planning documents (development and budgeting), nominative lists, budgets, and facilities (facilities and infrastructure). The education and training budget for increasing teacher professionalism in the government in the Mamuju district faces the following constraints: 1. Limited resources; 2) participant mechanisms for education and training for improving teacher professionalism; and 3) communication and coordination of related parties that are still weak. To overcome these various obstacles, interested parties have made staff review efforts to the regents, improved budgets and organized education and training for improving teacher professionalism and increasing the intensity of communication and coordination with various relevant parties.

Published: June 2019

O presente artigo tem por objetivo traçar um panorama histórico e de direito comparado da política de barganha e negociação em matéria criminal, discutindo a obrigatoriedade ou discricionariedade do exercício da ação penal pública, assim como as vantagens e desvantagens de uma política de não persecução penal. Para enfrentar esse percurso é preciso, a partir das novas características da sociedade pós-moderna e da nova leitura da dogmática penal e processual penal à luz da Constituição da República enfrentar alguns questionamentos: qual o direito penal e a política criminal desse tempo social?;  qual Ministério Público foi projetado para a pós-modernidade e pelo modelo de Estado Social e Democrático de Direito? A previsão da política de negociação através dos Juizados Especiais no art. 98, inciso I da Constituição, aliada à própria redação que trata da privatividade da ação penal pública no art. 129, inciso I teriam assentado que a ação penal não é pautada pela obrigatoriedade?

Este artigo busca realizar uma discussão sobre a importância do estudo do lugar no ensino de Geografia a partir das experiências do subprojeto “Fazendo Geografia por meio de projetos de trabalho” do PIBID (Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência) do curso de licenciatura em Geografia da FCT/ UNESP- Presidente Prudente. Para tal, realizaremos um paralelo entre as ideias apresentadas por alguns autores que se debruçam a trabalhar as diferentes abordagens do conceito de Lugar, tanto na Geografia quanto no ensino dela, com o que tem sido realizado pelo grupo, principalmente na última intervenção do ano de 2016 intitulada “Demografia e dinâmicas sociais atuais: do Brasil à cidade de Presidente Prudente. ”

A presente pesquisa abrange um estudo sobre os impactos ambientais sobre a flora decorrentes da implantação de rodovias, tendo como foco a rodovia BR-242 no Estado de Mato Grosso, trecho entre Nova Ubiratã e o distrito de Santiago do Norte. Para identificar esses impactos foram utilizados os Relatórios expedidos pelas empresas responsáveis pela obra e visitas in loco para averiguar a situação real das áreas impactadas pelo empreendimento. Esse tipo de trabalho relativo ao meio ambiente tem como finalidade identificar as interferências causadas na flora e propor medidas de mitigação para as ações que impactaram a região onde se encontra a rodovia. Como resultado final, tendo como base imagens de satélites comparativas dos anos de 2003 e 2013 dessa região, foi estruturado um diagrama unifilar através de ferramentas do ArcGIS, onde foi possível medir a quilometragem das áreas impactadas para o plantio compensatório.

Kesulitan dalam mempelajari suatu bahasa seringkali terlihat melalui kesalahan berbahasa yang dilakukan oleh siswa maupun pelajar secara umum, yang sulit mereka hindari, terutama oleh penutur bilingual seperti suku Sasak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan pola klausa pasif dalam bahasa Sasak (B1) dengan bahasa Indonesia (B2) menggunakan pendekatan studi kontrastif, sebagai acuan dalam pengajaran bahasa Indonesia sebagai bahasa kedua. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Teknik penggalian data yang digunakan ialah teknik cakap tansemuka (CTS), sedangkan teknik analisis data ialah analisis baca markah. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa klausa pasif dalam B1 mewujud dalam bentuk pasif kanonis, pasif bentuk diri- dan pasif bentuk ke-an. B2 diidentifikasi memiliki bentuk klausa pasif yang lebih beragam, yakni selain bentuk kanonis, bentuk diri- dan ke-an, juga terdapat bentuk ter- dan ke- yang mana dalam B1 tidak ditemukan. Selanjutnya, klausa pasif kanonis dalam B1 baik yang menggunakan verba ekatransitif maupun dwitransitif masing-masing dapat dibentuk dalam dua pola yang berbeda.

Published: June 2019

In order to identify promising strategic development possibilities for the pharmaceutical industry in the Russian Federation, a pilot study was conducted, which has analyzed the main trends in the development of innovative medicines. As a result of the content analysis of available sources of scientific literature, the characteristics of options used in the world practice for increasing the innovative activity of individual subjects and the pharmaceutical market as a whole are presented. Possible reserves for the further development of the innovative component of the pharmaceutical market within the framework of the concept of personalized medicine according to the P4 principle (predictive - personalized - preventive - participatory) are identified and structured.

The results of use by individual pharmaceutical companies of scientifically and practically justified approaches to optimizing the costs of development and promoting drugs are presented. The advantages and real prospects of a generally accepted method to reduce the cost of development by «expanding the pharmacological effect» (label expansion) of already existing drugs with a known safety profile in the world practice are shown. A scientific generalization and structuring of the goals and results of the post-registration phase of clinical trials to expand the pharmacological action of a number of drugs already existed at the market have been carried out.

Suicide behavior as a mental health problem requires a good management with improved assessment tools, particularly for suicide ideation. An instrumental study was carried out to establish the psychometric properties of the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory (PANSI) in 1318 students, 13 to 19 years-old, from three cities in Colombia, with ages from, and from attending 8th to 11th secondary school levelsgrade in three cities in Colombia. The expected theoretical structure was obtained by exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis. Also, a favorable fit was found, according to the Rasch model (except item 4). Moreover, when internal consistencies were analyzed, a value of ? = .77 was obtained for positive suicide ideation, while ? = .89 was shown for negative suicide ideation. These data indicate that PANSI presents construct validity and consistency, according to the purpose and context in which it was elaborated. Therefore, we suggest the use of a 13 items PANSI in high school students able to identify the two dimensions of suicidal ideation.
The Use of Measurement Invariance with Dichotomous Variables as Evidence of Validity
Authors: Rojas Torres Luis , Rojas Rojas Guaner , Brizuela Rodríguez Armel
Published: June 2019

This paper explains and exemplifies how an analysis of the measurement invariance with dichotomous items may be implemented in order to obtain evidence of validity. The example was developed with data from the Academic Aptitude Test (PAA, for its initials in Spanish; PPPAA, 2014) at the University of Costa Rica (UCR). Measurement invariance was analyzed according to two classifications, by high school kind (public or private) and by sex. The method used was a confirmatory factor analysis with two correlated factors defined from the two components of the PAA (N = 11304). Each group analysis presented strict invariance. It was concluded that the test scores have the same unit of measurement for both men and women, and among students from public and private high schools. Finally, these results constitute evidence of validity of the PAA scores in terms of their internal structure from the perspective of fairness.
Desarrollo y validación de un instrumento para medir discriminación percibida en la comunidad LGBT
Authors: González-Rivera Juan Aníbal , Pabellón-Lebrón Suham
Published: June 2019

This article examines the psychometric properties of the Discrimination Perceived in the LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender) Community Scale in a sample of Puerto Rican adults. A total of 305 individuals from the LGBT community participated in this exploratory and psychometric study. The results indicated that the scale fits better into a model of two factors. These factors are Personal Discrimination and Group Discrimination. A total of 20 items matched the criteria of discrimination and presented appropriate factor loadings (10 items by factor). The reliability index of the subscales was .89 (Cronbach’s alpha). These results suggest that the instrument has the potential to measure this construct among members of the LGBT community in Puerto Rico.

Authors: Magnoni Maria Salete
Published: June 2019

O texto discute como os escritores/jornalistas Lima Barreto e João do Rio registraram o processo de reurbanizaçãoe modernização da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, ocorridos na primeira década do século XX. Antípodas do ponto devista do lugar social e literário, foram agudos observadores da cidade e suas contradições nesse momento histórico. Essasobservações trabalhadas literariamente são convergentes? Ou são tão díspares quanto suas trajetórias? Quanto ao trabalhono jornal e à importância dele nessa sociedade, qual é a posição de cada um? Ambos foram favoráveis às inovações tecnológicasque estavam sendo introduzidas no Rio de Janeiro da Belle Époque? São algumas das questões abordadas.
