The opacity problem in social contagion
Authors: Berry George , Cameron Christopher John , Park Patrick , MACY Michael
Published: November 2018

Many social phenomena can be modeled as cascades in networks, where nodes adopt a behavior in response to peers adopting. When studying cascades, researchers typically assume that the number of active peers when a node adopts is equivalent to the node’s threshold for adoption. This assumption is rarely justified due to the “opacity problem”: networked cascades reveal intervals which contain thresholds, rather than point estimates. Existing approaches take the maximum of each node’s threshold interval, which biases models of social influence. Opacity is inevitable in many small graphs when using the threshold model, resulting from the networked process itself rather than data collection techniques. Using simulation, we extend this finding to the probabilistic SI (independent cascade) model. We confirm these theoretical results by studying 50 large hashtag cascades among 3.2 million Twitter users, finding that 20% of adoptions suffer from opacity. Different assumptions in response to opacity qualitatively change conclusions about peer influence. While opacity is a far- reaching problem, it can be addressed. Using information from nodes who have tightly bounded intervals allows building models to reduce error in estimating node thresholds.

Published: November 2018

Introduction: Vernal keratoconunctivitis is a recurrent, seasonal, allergic condition affecting children and adolescents in warmer regions worldwide.Objective: To assess the drug usage pattern for the management of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC).Materials & Methods: This was a 12 weeks long hospital based cross sectional study conducted in the outpatient unit of the department of ophthalmology of a teaching hospital. It included all consecutive patients diagnosed with VKC who satisfied the inclusion criteria. Patients underwent clinical examination and the severity of their disease was graded. Their prescriptions were scanned for duration of therapy, total number of medications, route of administration, the frequency of dosage and change in medications if any, generic names of drugs being prescribed or not and all demographic parameters were recorded in a suitable record form. A p value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: 248 patients were enrolled in this study of whom the majority were male (172). The average age of the patients was 8.27 years (SD ± 3.02 years). The mean duration of disease was 15 months (SD ± 9.13 years). The greatest number of children belonged to severity grade 1 (27.82%). The total number of drugs prescribed in this study was 583 with an average of 2.26 drugs per encounter. The commonest prescribed drugs were topical anti-allergics (26.75%) followed closely by lubricants (25.73%) and topical steroids (21.42%).Conclusion: Anti allergics and lubricants are the mainstays in the management of VKC. The current study is reflective of this. Clearer guidelines need to be formulated for the better and rational management of VKC.

Authors: Huamán Guerrero Moisés , Sosa Olavarría Alberto , Huamán J Moisés , Díaz K Alicia
Published: November 2018

Antecedentes. El higroma quístico retronucal es el marcador de anomalías cromosómicas identificado con mayor frecuencia en el tamizaje del primer trimestre. Objetivo. Evaluar la asociación del higroma quístico retronucal y anomalías cromosómicas diagnosticadas con el cariotipo, entre el primer y segundo trimestre del embarazo. Diseño. Estudio retrospectivo. Institución. Instituto Latinoamericano de Salud Reproductiva (ILSAR), Lima, Perú. Pacientes. Fetos con higroma quístico retronucal. Método. Estudio de fetos con higroma quístico retronucal, obtenidos de la base de datos de ILSAR, entre agosto del 2007 y mayo del 2018, diagnosticados por ecografía entre las 11 y 13,6 semanas. El higroma quístico retronucal se definió como la presencia de contenido líquido tabicado en el corte axial retronucal con un grosor mayor al percentil 95 del valor de translucencia nucal aumentada para la longitud corona-nalga. Se obtuvo el cariotipo entre el primer y segundo trimestre en material obtenido por biopsia de vellosidades coriales (BVC) o amniocentesis (AMC). Principales medidas de resultados. Los resultados del cariotipo fueron comparados entre los casos de higroma quístico solo y los casos que tuvieron higroma y adicionalmente otro marcador. Resultados. De un total de 459 procedimientos invasivos realizados en fetos con alto riesgo para anomalías cromosómicas en base al Fetal test de España, hubieron 162 casos de anomalías cromosómicas (35,3%) y se identificó 104 casos de higroma quístico retronucal (22s7%). El hallazgo de higroma quístico retronucal se asoció con mayor presencia de anomalías cromosómicas, comparado con los fetos sin higroma quístico (52,9% vs. 30,1%; p<0,001). De 61 casos de higroma solo, 42,3% tenían anomalía cromosómica, y cuando el higroma estaba asociado a otros marcadores (hidrops fetal, ductus venoso anormal, cardiopatía, ausencia de hueso nasal), hubo 65,1% de anomalías cromosómicas. Hubo diferencia estadística significativa (p=0,003) para la presencia de monosomía X, entre el grupo con higroma solo y el de higroma + hidrops fetal. No hubo diferencia en el grosor del higroma entre el grupo con y sin anomalía cromosómica. Conclusiones. El higroma quístico retronucal es un marcador de riesgo con alto valor predictivo para anomalías cromosómicas. Su identificación en el tamizaje prenatal podría ser indicación para recomendar una prueba diagnóstica. Cuando se asocia a anormalidad del flujo del ductus venoso o hidrops fetal, aumentan significativamente las anomalías cromosómicas. El higroma asociado conhidrops se vinculó mayoritariamente a la monosomía X, mientras que el higroma asociado con onda de velocidad de flujo-OVF de ductus venoso anormal a la trisomía 21.
Tamizaje de reserva ovárica con hormona antimülleriana
Authors: Reyes-Armas Iván , Carvallo Ñiquen Flor
Published: November 2018

En la actualidad, las pruebas de reserva ovárica (RO) son usadas principalmente en la evaluación de pacientes subfértiles. En este artículo, se discute el uso del dosaje de hormona antimülleriana (HAM), asociado en algunos casos con el recuento de folículos antrales (RFA) y el dosaje de FSH, en la población general de mujeres jóvenes, postulando un algoritmo de tamizaje para identificar riesgo de reserva ovárica disminuida. Usando su plena autonomía y luego de una consejería, la mujer decidiría hacer o no las pruebas, según sus prioridades en la vida. Si dichos exámenes resultaran alterados, la mujer podría modificar sus planes en lo que se refiere a la maternidad.
La atención primaria en salud. La experiencia peruana

Published: November 2018

Alma Ata sigue vigente en aquellas experiencias de Cuidado Integral de la Salud por todos y para todos que algunos países han logrado implementar, sobre todo en zonas rurales con poblaciones afectadas por la exclusión y la pobreza. El Perú detenta varias de ellas, que incluso encuentran sus raíces en experiencias previas a la Conferencia de 1978. Es interesante confirmar que muchas de estas se abocaron primero a la atención de las gestantes y recién nacidos, y luego han trasladado sus lecciones aprendidas al cuidado de toda la población.
Parto pretérmino: causas y medidas de prevención
Authors: Huertas Tacchino Erasmo
Published: November 2018

El parto pretérmino es la vía final común de una serie de procesos fisiopatológicos diferentes, por lo que constituye un síndrome. El parto pretérmino espontáneo representa las dos terceras partes del parto pretérmino. Su prevención puede ser primaria o secundaria, y se centra básicamente en la predicción, la que actualmente se realiza mediante calculadoras de riesgo que combinan factores de historia clínica, longitud cervical y fibronectina fetal. La progesterona vaginal reduce la tasa de parto pretérmino espontáneo en 35 a 40%, si se administra desde las 16 hasta las 34 semanas.
Manejo neonatal del prematuro: avances en el Perú
Authors: Ota Nakasone Arturo
Published: November 2018

La Neonatología ha experimentado un gran desarrollo en las últimas décadas en base al aumento del nacimiento de bebés prematuros. Los recién nacidos antes del término de la gestación tienen gran morbilidad debido a la inmadurez de la mayoría de sus órganos y sistemas. Existe una relación inversa entre la edad gestacional y la morbilidad. Esto representa un gran reto, el manejo de los prematuros muy extremos, por la alta mortalidad. En la presente revisión presentamos los hitos en los avances del manejo del prematuro, que se inicia en la década de los 70, e incluye no solo el desarrollo tecnológico de equipos, sino también el mejor conocimiento de la fisiología fetal-neonatal y programas de seguimiento de pacientes. Hacemos además una breve historia de la neonatología en el Perú y sus avances en el tratamiento de bebés prematuros, que se traducen en la disminución de la mortalidad neonatal así como la mejora en el límite de viabilidad.
Valoración preoperatoria de la masa anexial
Authors: Sánchez Salcedo Marco A.
Published: November 2018

La masa anexial es la tumoración que puede localizarse en ovario, trompa de Falopio y el tejido conectivo que los rodea (mesosálpinx, mesoovario y ligamento ancho). Es un problema ginecológico común. La determinación del riesgo de benignidad o malignidad previa es esencial para un manejo posterior adecuado. Existe gran variedad de métodos radiológicos, biomarcadores o métodos clínicos prequirúrgicos y modelos predictivos que han sido estudiados y validados en diversas partes del mundo para poder diferenciar la etiología de las masas anexiales. J Kaijser y col. realizaron una revisión sistemática y metaanálisis del uso de modelos matemáticos predictivos en el diagnóstico prequirúrgico de masas anexiales. En la actualidad, la revisión de los diferentes estudios y revisiones sistemáticas muestran que ambos IOTA LR2 y Simple Rules son los mejores métodos de diagnóstico disponibles para poder diferenciar masas anexiales benignas y malignas en forma preoperatoria. En mujeres en edad reproductiva, esta disquisición es de vital importancia para la preservación de la fertilidad. Asimismo, los resultados predictivos de enfermedad benigna podrían ser tratados por especialistas ginecoobstetras o en hospitales generales y las pacientes con sospecha de malignidad ser referidas y tratadas por ginecólogos oncólogos.
Secuencia perfusión arterial reversa. Reporte de caso
Authors: Rondón-Tapia Marta , Reyna-Villasmil Eduardo , Torres-Cepeda Duly
Published: November 2018

La secuencia de perfusión arterial reversa en gemelos es una complicación del embarazo gemelar monocoriónico, en la que un gemelo muestra anomalías mortales, incluyendo acardia, y es perfundido por el otro gemelo ‘bomba’ a través de anastomosis arteriales placentarias, produciendo el crecimiento y las anomalías características del gemelo acárdico, con posible insuficiencia cardíaca en el gemelo bomba. Los mecanismos fisiopatológicos exactos que conducen a este fenómeno devastador no son bien conocidos. Ocurre en aproximadamente 1% de los embarazos monocoriónicos y en 1 de cada 35 000 embarazos. La mortalidad se debe generalmente a anemia y complicaciones cardíacas que pueden conducir a insuficiencia cardíaca, que aparecen temprano durante el embarazo y causan la muerte del gemelo bomba. Se presenta un caso de perfusión arterial reversa en gemelos en paciente de 28 años de edad con un embarazo monocoriónicodiamniótico de 12 semanas quien fue referida por ausencia de actividad cardíaca de uno de los gemelos. La ecografía mostró un gemelo acárdico con reversión de flujo visto en arteria-vena umbilical y un segundo gemelo normal. A las 28 semanas se realizó una cesárea de emergencia debido a parto pretérmino y situación transversa del segundo gemelo, obteniendo el primer gemelo marcadamente malformado y un segundo gemelo vivo que murió dos días después de las complicaciones de la prematuridad. El diagnóstico prenatal exacto secuencia de perfusión arterial reversa en gemelos es esencial para mejorar el pronóstico de esta rara entidad.

Kult świętych jako potwierdzenie jednoznacznego monoteizmu
Authors: Salij Jacek
Published: November 2018

Już dla ojców Kościoła (por. Passio S. Polycarpi, a zwłaszcza dla św. Augustyna) kult świętych był przeciwieństwem kultów politeistycznych. Treścią artykułu jest przedstawienie biblij­nego zakorzenienia obecnych w katolicyzmie pięciu aspektów kultu świętych: 1. Oddając cześć świętym, dziękujemy Bogu za to, że tak wiernie obdarzał swój Kościół poprzednich pokoleniach. 2. Nasze dziękczynienie przeniknięte jest błaganiem, ażeby Bóg również nas raczył obdarzać po­dobnie, jak niegdyś obdarzał naszych ojców i matki w wierze. 3. W kulcie świętych wyrażamy naszą wiarę, że święci modlą się za nas, zarazem ich samych pro­simy o to, żeby się za nami wstawiali. 4. Wyrazem kultu świętych jest również oddawanie czci ich relikwiom,5. oraz ich naśladowanie. Mówiąc najkrócej: Naśladując świętych, uczymy się tego, jak możemy i powinniśmy naśladować Chrystusa.

„SAKRAMENTALNY” CHARAKTER ESTETYKI IKONY JAKO PRZYKŁAD TEOLOGII OTWARTEJ
Authors: Stumiłowski Jan P.
Published: November 2018

Współcześnie w literaturze teologicznej często mówi się o „sakramentalności” ikony. Określenie to nie świadczy o traktowaniu sztuki ikonicznej na równi z siedmioma kanonicznymi sakramentami, ale sugeruje, że ten szczególny rodzaj sztuki posiada właściwość uobecnianiaw swojej przestrzeni rzeczywistości Boskiej. Sposób partycypacji pierwiastka nadprzyrodzonego nie ma jednak tak radykalnego, jak np. w Eucharystii lub innych sakramentach, charakteru substancjalnego.Domeną sztuki ikonicznej, jak każdej innej, jest forma, zatem należy spodziewać się, że w aspekcie formalnym (estetycznym) znajdują się elementy świadczące o jej sakramentalności. Ponadto w ikonie sfera formalna mocno jest zestrojona z samą treścią wskazaną przez ikonę, zatem również teologia, jaką przywołuje ikona, poprzez sakramentalny charakter formy, powinna odznaczać się pewnego rodzaju otwartością na transcendencję.

Interaction of Institutes of Legislative and Executive Powers in Modern Ukraine
Authors: Repetska Anastasiia
Published: November 2018

Interaction between the institutions of state power ensures normal performing of their duties as entire state mechanism. It does not enable any of the branches of power. It is for this purpose that the founder of the division of power created a system of restraints and counter balances. To ensure their independence of one branch of government from another, it is necessary that each one has a real opportunity to influence another. Through the division of powers, the rule of law is organized and operates by legal means.

At the same time, the principle of distribution of power is not so much a rigid division of functions and competences as the mechanism of their close interaction to solve problems of state formation.

The interaction of the institutions of state power as the principle of the Constitutional system of Ukraine is currently a very topical problem, since our state is only at the prime of developing such institutions as an institution for the distribution and interaction of the branches of state power, and, therefore, needs the best possible solution to urgent problems.

The term "Ukrainian Orthodox" I "has long been known to religious scholars. But in the sense of a special direction Orthodox "I, which has significant differences from other of its national forms in the ritual, religious, and even theological spheres, it is used relatively recently. It was introduced into the scientific circulation by I. Ogienko.

Beginning of Academic Religious Studies in Ukraine
Authors: Kolodnyi Anatolii M.
Published: November 2018

The first organizational form of the existence of religious science in Ukraine was the 1931 Anti-Religious Sector, which was formed in Kharkov as a part of the Institute of Philosophy and Natural Sciences of the All-Ukrainian Association of Scientific Research Institutes. His work was led by well-known sociologist D. Ignatyuk. In the sector worked I. Elvin, M. Krivohatsky, P. Chernitsov, O. Chefranov. The scientific production of the sector was published in magazines and published in separate brochures. Since 1937, after the abolition of Wandy and the transfer of its institutes to the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in this area, scientists of the philosophical commission of the socio-economic department of the ANU worked. We note the fact that at that time the development of knowledge about religion in the academic system was completely subordinated to the task of disseminating anti-religious knowledge and substantiating the ideologized "opium" assessments of religion.

First of all - about the connections of culture and religion. This question is one of those who, in the recent past, was subjected to all kinds of distortions. Consequently, our contemporary Ukrainian society needs a true meeting of religion and culture.

The attempt of Marxism to create a new humanism, which completely rejects religion and is based only on atheism, and even that which was given a militant character, proved to be insolvent. Even now we understand that it is impossible to build a culture denying the close connection between religion and culture.
Beauty and sobornost - the basis of the spirituality of the Slavic peoples
Authors: Parshykova G. V.
Published: November 2018

The cornerstone of the world view of the ancient Slavs is the sensation of the beauty and sanctity of the world and life. They considered the whole universe as a temple and therefore did not build the temples themselves, but revered the sacred forests, rivers, mountains. Hence their desire for conciliarity, that is, for the spiritual unification of people and nature. But to unite the nations only beauty, this international language, understandable to all is capable. Beauty is our true creator (IF Shiller). It reveals the inner essence of man (N. Roerich). But without spirituality, it's impossible even to understand beauty. Therefore, in a person from childhood it is necessary to develop spirituality, so that he understands the basis, meaning and purpose of life, realized the spiritual roots of his people.
Religion and Science: common and special in the vision of the world
Authors: Karpin A. V.
Published: November 2018

Since the moment when the first attempts to cognize the world were made by man, more than once it was noted and it was recognized that man can use two basic methods of cognition. The characteristics of each of the methods allow us to conditionally divide them into intuitive and rational, traditionally attributed to religion and science, respectively. Each of these types of knowledge has various grounds for it, which gives rise to a different vision of the world. Before proceeding to their comparison, it is necessary to give a brief description of the changes that have shaped the modern scientific vision of the world.
Number and soul
Authors: Musulin A.
Published: November 2018

In modern psychology there are two directions, which from my point of view perfectly complement each other. The founder of the first is KG Jung, and the second - A. Maslow. Jungian psychoanalysis leads to penetration into the hidden soul of the unknown, and the world of archetypal forces and structures. Jung speaks of the process of individuation, of finding the inner center and assimilation of the unconscious by consciousness. The purpose of life is the integration of consciousness, the acquisition of the integrity symbolized by the Self, the Cosmic Man, the guiding center, the archetype whose outer reflection is our "I". A person who has lost touch with the Self lives completely on the surface and her life from the point of view of philosophy is absolutely chaotic and titanic. It is spread over life, is everywhere and nowhere. The stronger the connection with the center, the more we are like our true nature, the more humanity in us, the better we know ourselves and are more holistic.

At the beginning of spiritual ascent, there are three main ways for a modern man: the direct path of lessons, the way to help someone, the information path. Now people should learn not to walk through troubles, direct lessons, when a person changes only directly by contacting the sources of suffering. Here he learns through the extreme options of lessons, the most difficult. On the first path, something becomes an event, and people must learn to celebrate events. This is the way of rules, going from sign to sign. Everything along the way is work. One must learn to accept this. The gift itself is to learn how to work to make it easier to work. You can not count on other rewards. The rule here should be: "Thank you, that's over, but it can happen again."

Problems of the religious life of present-day Ukraine
Authors: Kolodnyi Anatolii  M.
Published: November 2018

For almost three years, Ukraine has the power of Viktor Yanukovych, the power of Donetsk in all its branches. It does not take much time to do some far-reaching conclusions about its activities. It is no longer easy to break or rebuild the two decades of independence, which has been established for two decades of independence, and sometimes it should not be done, because not everything that was possible can be denoted by a minus sign. This can be said about the sphere of religious life of Ukraine, about the freedom of religion established in it, which was recognized by the world until the years of Yushchenko's presidency as one of the most democratic systems of state-church relations.
Problems of state-confessional relations, religious freedom and human dignity in the context of the Second Vatican Council
Authors: Kuyak Svyatoslav
Published: November 2018

Two decades of independence of Ukraine and the free development of Ukrainian Christianity in Kyiv traditions indicate that the time of the underground life of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the communist past of Ukrainian Christians in general left deep marks in their souls and mentality and throughout Ukrainian society. New social problems, especially of a social and economic nature, have generated in this society a number of new spiritual and social negative phenomena and challenges that the Church is looking for explanations and answers: a significant dominance of people in the material purpose and its negative impact on their spiritual freedom; the inner spiritual conflict in the souls of people between religious and secular consciousness (double faith as at the time of the baptism of Rus-Ukraine - faith in God and, so to speak, worship of the earthly divine "mammon" - earthly blessings); the need for spiritual and social equilibrium and interconfessional understanding; the latest practical atheism; the phenomenon of the so-called "man of the Soviet" - "homo sovietikus", which manifests itself in the distortion of the representatives of this group of people historically established and traditional for the pre-Soviet period and restored rudiments during the independence of Ukraine of the Ukrainian social-spiritual worldview and religious mentality. Therefore, Ukrainian Christianity, in particular Ukrainian Catholicism, faces the task of realizing Christian "reinclusion" and the new evangelization of Ukrainian society to overcome the consequences of the atheistic Soviet past, which should be based on the experience of the Universal Church.
The priorities of the Catholic social doctrine in the definitions of the Second Vatican Council

Published: November 2018

The Second Vatican Council of the Catholic Church has had a fatal significance in its history. In addition to the important documents that were adopted by the Council, and then creatively developed by the theorists and practitioners of the Church, Catholicism was enriched with a new awareness of significant changes in the world. The Church acknowledged that there have been radical transformations in the outlook and behavior of people, in particular Catholics, in their attitude to issues of faith, to God, to the relationship between God and man. But perhaps the most influential for the further development of Catholicism in the world was the social doctrine of the Church, which eventually turned into a social doctrine. The latter is understood not only as a list of practical guidelines for solving the "social question", but also not a sum of knowledge in contemporary sociology1, but a set of religious beliefs developed by theologians and endorsed by the whole Church in the form of a body of special documents on the Church's views on society and social issues. In addition to the general theological principles of attitude towards peace and relations with society, the Catholic social doctrine contains the historical work of the Church in solving social problems in different epochs, recorded information about the social challenges of the past and present, eschatological expectations and real forecasts for the future of mankind.

The state of the Roman Catholic communities in the period of a forced anti-religious offensive of the Soviet state (1950s - the first half of the 1960's).
Authors: Gura Oleksiy
Published: November 2018

Actuality of theme. On the brink of the 1950s-1960s, the Soviet state launched a massive anti-religious campaign. The attitude towards the Roman Catholics in this period is a classic example of the hard policy of the Soviet and party leadership in relation to religious associations. However, this pressure was unequal in relation to different denominations. The position of the authorities was determined by the task of preventing the integration of the religious and national life of national minorities in Ukraine. Under conditions where religion remained for them, perhaps the only form of manifestation of national feelings, such a policy was frankly anti-national. This period is very important for researchers, because relations between the state and the Roman Catholic associations in the 1960's explain a lot of peculiarities of the development of these communities in Ukrainian society in our time.

For the Eastern Churches (including the Ukrainian Catholic Church), the Council adopted a separate Decree "The Constitution for the Eastern Churches" 1, on the basis of which a conference of the UCP bishopric, led by the Supreme Archbishop Joseph Slipy, was convened on December 14, 1966 in Rome. It discussed a number of issues, including the case of Divine Liturgy, the liturgical language, the introduction of the Ukrainian spoken language, some reductions in the Service of God, and the reformation of church singing. It was for this purpose that the dioceses established Liturgical Commissions, in particular at the Chicago Department in the United States, which included the musicologist, composer, and musical culture activist of the Diaspora Myron Fedorov (1907-1993). One of the tasks of the commission was to preserve the traditional self-made singing, so that he "did not disappear, but he lived and developed under different kinds: single-handed, double-voiced or in choral works, which most would be out of the richness and beauty of our rite"
