La evaluación de tecnología sanitaria, la difusión de las innovaciones y su transferencia, los factores que conllevan a una rápida aceptación de las mismas y el rol que cumple la tecnología en la sociedad delimitan el campo de los fenómenos ciencia, técnica y salud. Su reconocimiento en los sistemas jurídicos a través de la instauración de un proceso para la incorporación de las mismas dentro de las esferas del Estado, más precisamente, en sus sistemas sanitarios, cuenta con cuatro etapas, a saber, a) planificación, b) evaluación, c) adquisición y, d) gestión. En este trabajo, desarrollamos los orígenes del segundo y tercer proceso, lo que en doctrina internacional y las prácticas de los gobiernos se denomina “evaluación de tecnologías sanitarias e incorporación” de éstas a los sistemas de salud, ya que consideramos que estudiar estos fenómenos desde su perspectiva histórica y legal, coadyuvaría a un mejor desempeño de nuestros Estados en pos del bienestar general y las inversiones que se realicen al respecto, determinando qué órgano es el competente para realizarlo

One of the weaknesses in each learning method is that teacher tend to experience constraints in classroom management, even though the task of the teacher is mostly to create a pleasant atmosphere in the classroom in order that the learning objectives are achieved. This learning atmosphere can increase students' motivation and interest in learning. Therefore, the author uses the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) method that has been modified with task and forced strategy to fillthe shortage. The Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) learning method is providing an opportunity for students to be able to interact with their groups. or with other groups, interacting is one of the ways to increase student collaboration. Then, with the task and force strategies will be able to help the teacher in managing the class well. Because, with this strategy the teacher emphasizes giving assignments with little coercion, with the hope that students can do their job according to what is ordered by the teacher. Task and forced strategies can also train students' discipline and responsibility. So from that, the purpose of this is to train discipline and responsibility, improve student activity and foster student confidence.

Ultra-processed diets cause excess calorie intake and weight gain: A one-month inpatient randomized controlled trial of ad libitum food intake
Authors: Hall Kevin D
Published: February 2019

We investigated whether ultra-processed foods affect energy intake in 20 weight-stable adults, aged (mean±SE) 31.2±1.6 y and BMI=27±1.5 kg/m2. Subjects were admitted to the NIH Clinical Center and randomized to receive either ultra-processed or unprocessed diets for 2 weeks immediately followed by the alternate diet for 2 weeks. Meals were designed to be matched for presented calories, energy density, macronutrients, sugar, sodium, and fiber. Subjects were instructed to consume as much or as little as desired. Energy intake was greater during the ultra-processed diet (508±106 kcal/d; p=0.0001), with increased consumption of carbohydrate (280±54 kcal/d; p<0.0001) and fat (230±53 kcal/d; p=0.0004) but not protein (-2±12 kcal/d; p=0.85). Weight changes were highly correlated with energy intake (r=0.8, p<0.0001) with participants gaining 0.8±0.3 kg (p=0.01) during the ultra-processed diet and losing 1.1±0.3 kg (p=0.001) during the unprocessed diet. Limiting consumption of ultra-processed foods may be an effective strategy for obesity prevention and treatment. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03407053
Comment: Capacity limits are caused by a finite resource, not spatial competition
Authors: Holcombe Alex O.
Published: February 2019

To explain capacity limits on cognition, Franconeri et al. [1] highlight spatial interference and competition among visual object representations in the limited space of cortical maps. Franconeri et al. describe this idea as a “concrete suggestion to guide future research” (p. 6), but in fact it has already been tested in three recent papers on multiple object tracking. The findings in each indicate that spatial interference does not explain the observed capacity limits and that traditional resource theory provides a better account.
Riskier Tests of the Validity of Bifactor Models of Psychopathology
Authors: Watts Ashley L. , Poore Holly , Waldman Irwin
Published: February 2019

We advanced several “riskier tests” of the validity of bifactor models of psychopathology, which included that the general and specific factors should be reliable and well-represented by their indicators, and that including a general factor should improve the correlated factor model’s external validity. We compared bifactor and correlated factors models using data from a community sample of youth (N=2498) whose parents provided ratings on psychopathology and external criteria (i.e., temperament, aggression, antisociality). Bifactor models tended to yield either general or specific factors that were unstable and difficult to interpret. The general factor appeared to reflect a differentially-weighted amalgam of psychopathology rather than a liability for psychopathology broadly construed. With rare exceptions, bifactor models did not explain additional variance in psychopathology symptom dimensions or external criteria compared with correlated factors models. Together, our findings call into question the validity of bifactor models of psychopathology, and the p-factor more broadly.
Heart rate regulation in patients with anorexia nervosa
Authors: Baumann Christoph , Willaschek Christian , Buchhorn Reiner
Published: February 2019

Background: The purpose of this investigation was to examine heart rate variability (HRV), interbeat interval (IBI), and their interrelationship in healthy subjects, bradycardic HCN4 mutation carriers, and patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). We hypothesized that bradycardia in patients with AN is caused by neural mechanisms. Therefore, we assumed that a saturation effect of the HRV/IBI relationship in consequence of sustained parasympathetic control of the sinus node is exclusively detectable in patients with AN.Methods: Patients with AN between the ages of 12 and 16 years without major comorbidities admitted to our hospital due to malnutrition were grouped (N = 20). A matched-pair group with healthy children and adolescents was created. Groups were matched for age and gender. We performed 24-hour Holter electrocardiography (ECG) in controls and patients. Specifically, all patients underwent two 24-hour Holter ECGs (admission; refeeding treatment). Additionally, IBI’s were recorded during night-time in HCN4 mutation carriers (N = 4). HRV parameters were analyzed in 5-minute sequences during night-time and plotted against mean corresponding IBI length. HRV, IBI, and their interrelationship were examined by fitting data to quadratic and linear models, Spearman’s rank correlation analyses, Mann–Whitney U- and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Results: In contrast to controls, the relationship between IBI and HRV showed signs of saturation in patients with AN. Signs of HRV saturation were also present in two HCN4 mutation carriers.Conclusions: We believe that neural and non-neural mechanisms such as HCN4 down-regulation are possible explanations for HRV saturation and the associated bradycardia in patients with AN.
When Self-Compassion Loses its Luster: Ratings of Self-Compassionate and Self-Critical Responding among Passionate Students
Authors: Schellenberg Benjamin J. I. , Mosewich Amber , Bailis Daniel , Gaudreau Patrick , Verner-Filion Jeremie
Published: February 2019

People generally recognize the benefits of responding to failures with self-compassion (i.e., with self-kindness, a sense of common humanity, and mindfulness) rather than self-criticism. In this research, we replicated this effect with passionate students who had all reported that academics was a pursuit that they enjoyed and was important to them, and tested if it was influenced by levels of harmonious passion (a balanced and flexible engagement in academics), and obsessive passion (a rigid and uncontrollable desire to pursue academics). Passionate students (n = 241) reported how they would evaluate themselves (e.g., confident) and the anticipated outcomes that they expected to occur (e.g., goal achievement) if they were to respond to academic difficulties with either self-compassion or self-criticism. Results showed that many of the advantages that students believed self-compassion had over self-criticism, such as enhanced future performance and feelings of confidence and success, disappeared when academic passion involved high levels of obsessive passion and low levels of harmonious passion (i.e., pure obsessive passion). To promote self-compassion in academics, these findings suggest that the benefits of self-compassion need to be emphasized for students with pure obsessive passion.
Role of Biogas in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Authors: Sharma Anjana , Laudari Raju , Rijal Kedar , Adhikari Lokendra
Published: February 2019

The study was carried out to analyze the role of biogas in climate change mitigation and adaptation. The study is based on the perception of 108 households of Muralibhanjyang VDC of Dhading district, Nepal. The study showed that amount of greenhouse gas emission was reduced by 3.82 tons per household per year of carbon dioxide equivalent by reducing 65.10% of fuel wood consumption per household per year. It was found that biogas has an effective role in climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gases emission. On installing 352 biogas plants, the number of trees saved in VDC was estimated to be 4083 per year which helps in mitigation and adaptation too. Adaptive capacity was determined on the basis of five different assets by giving the index value for each indicator ranging from one to four, which indicates low to very high value. The indicators of adaptive capacity for human, natural and social assets were obtained with values 2, 3.2, 3 and 1.2, 2.3, 2.1 for biogas users and non-users respectively. The physical and financial assets were obtained similar for both users and non-users (i.e. 3). There was significant difference between the adaptive capacity of biogas users and non-users where the average adaptive capacity value for biogas users was found to be 3.24 (high) and that of non-users was 2.8 (medium to high). It can be said that biogas plays a significant role in climate change adaptation by increasing adaptive capacity.
Assessment of Forest Cover Change of Dang, an Inner Terai District of Nepal
Authors: K.C. Yam Bahadur
Published: February 2019

This study analyzed the dynamics of changes of forest cover classes in the inner Terai District Dang, Nepal, based on Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images from two different years, viz., 1990 and 2011. Forest cover change analysis was performed through the analysis of a classified Landsat TM image using supervised classification. The overall classification accuracy for seven different land cover classes considered in this study were 80.37% and 80.56% for years 1990 and 2011, respectively. These classified images were further reclassified as forest and non-forest to analyze forest cover dynamics effectively using the post classification change detection. The results indicated that during 1990-2011, the total spatial areal coverage of forest land converted into other land cover was 20612 ha (shrub-land), 8571 ha (agriculture), and 2787 ha (others) non-forest classes. A significant portion of non-forest classes was also converted into forest (e.g., 11433 ha of shrubland, 5663 ha of agriculture, and 5581 ha of other non forest classes). Sand and water bodies remained more or less constant during this period. While forest cover was estimated to be disappearing at the rate of 0.2% per year, dense forest appears to be converting into a sparse forest at the rate of 0.1% per year. Future study to assess the causes and driving forces of forest cover change in Nepal should get guidance from this study on where to target interventions.
Restructuring Integrated Watershed Management Models for the Federal Democratic Regime of Nepal
Authors: Paudel Shambhu , Pal Prabhat , Dhami Harish Singh
Published: February 2019

Recent political envision has redesigned the administrative units of Nepal into federal states with the aim of decentralizing the power to ensure the process of rapid sustainable development. As a consequence, all the public service agencies need to restructure their delivery units for achieving goals targeted by the newly adopted administrative regime plan. With the aim of recommending the best watershed management models for this changing context, this paper aims to review existing watershed management models applied in different continents like European union, African union and the United States where they have already adopted this watershed management plans into their federal states or countries union successfully. Although they are geographically distinct and economically advanced, the major approach adopted is a river basin approach with the clear legislative framework. This approach is highly succeeded between interstate (or between member countries) because of political or interstate commitments for the common pool resource water. Clear policies and commitments between member countries or interstate greatly improved the function of this mechanism. With the light of those experiences in the field of watershed management plan adopted in federal or union countries, river based integrated management plan balancing efforts between interstates seems best models in the world, and is also proposed for the new federal republic of Nepal.
Premise Parameter Optimization on Adaptive Network Based Fuzzy Inference System Using Modification Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Kurniawan Muchamad , Suciati Nanik
Published: February 2019

ANFIS is a combination of the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Neural Network (NN), which has two training parameters, premise and consequent. In the traditional ANFIS, Least Square Estimator (LSE) and Gradient Descent (GD) are commonly used learning algorithms to train the two parameters. The combination of those two learning algorithms tends to produce the local optimal solution. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) can converge quickly but still allow for getting the local optimal solution because PSO is unable to find a new solution space. Meanwhile, Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been reported to be able to find a wider solution space. Hybrid PSOGA is expected to give a better solution. In this study, modification of hybrid PSOGA is used to train the premise parameter of ANFIS. In experiments, the accuracy of the proposed classification method, which is called ANFIS-PSOGA, is compared to ANFIS-GA and ANFIS-PSO on Iris flowers, Haberman, and Vertebral datasets. The experiment shows that ANFIS-PSOGA achieves the best result compared to the other methods, with an average of accuracy 99.85% on Iris flowers, 84.52% on Haberman, and 91.83% on Vertebral.

Perkiraan biaya dan waktu akan mempengaruhi manajemen proyek perangkat lunak. Penambahan cost driver yang diperkenalkan Barry Boehm pada tahun 2000 digunakan dalam penulisan ini guna memberikan hasil akurasi yang lebih baik karena telah mencakup keseluruhan bagian yang di estimasi. Namun jika hanya menggunakan metode COCOMO II hasil estimasi masih jauh dari Actual Effort. Oleh sebab itu peningkatan akurasi hasil COCOMO II dapat menggunakan metode Fuzzy Gaussian yang memberikan hasil estimasi lebih baik dilihat dari hasil MMRE. Tidak hanya menggunakan metode tersebut, tetapi juga mengubah nilai parameter COCOMO II secara menurun dengan nilai gradual 0,0001 untuk mencapai nilai optimal. Berdasarkan hasil implementasi metode yang diusulkan disini kesalahan akurasi perkiraan biaya dapat turun 30% dan kesalahan akurasi perkiraan waktu proyek perangkat lunak dapat turun 1,19% bila dibandingkan penelitian sebelumnya. Jadi keakuratan biaya dan waktu dalam penelitian ini dapat meningkat.

Minyak bumi merupakan sumber energi yang sangat penting di bumi. Minyak bumi juga merupakan salah satu faktor yang ikut meningkatkan perkembangan ekonomi suatu negara, semakin tinggi sumber minyak bumi di suatu negara maka perekonomian negara tersebut semakin meningkat pula. Di Indonesia sendiri sudah banyak mengekspor minyak bumi ke negara tetangga seperti Jepang, Korea Selatan, Tiongkok dll. Menurut data-data ekspor minyak bumi di Indonesia, dari tahun ke tahun jumlah ekspor minyak bumi di Indonesia mengalami penurunan, pada tahun 2010 sempat mengalami peningkatan hingga tahun 2012 namun pada tahun berikutnya terjadi penurunan an drastis. Untuk mengatasi penurunan ekspor minyak bumi di Indonesia maka perlu diadakan sebuah penelitian untuk meramal tingkat ekspor minyak bumi di Indonesia di tahun-tahun berikutnya dengan menggunakan jaringan saraf tiruan backpropagation. Pada penelitian ini aplikasi yang digunakan adalah Matlab R2011b dengan arsitektur yang terbaik yaitu 4-41-1 dengan tingkat akurasi sebesar 90% serta epoch sebanyak 2063 iterasi.

Pengenalan wajah (face recognition) memiliki banyak aplikasi seperti pada pemeriksaan keamanan, pencarian kembali gambar, dan sebagainya. Dengan metode aplikasi pengenalan wajah yang ada sekarang kebanyakan sistem pengenalan hanya menggunakan gambar wajah dengan  satu macam ekspresi saja. Untuk itu dibutuhkan suatu aplikasi pengenalan wajah yang mampu mengenali wajah dengan berbagai ekspresi, seperti senyum, tertawa, marah, dan ekspresi lainnya. Aplikasi ini bukan hanya mampu mengenali ekspresi wajah tapi juga dapat mencari identitas personal seseorang dengan tingkat keakuratan yang lebih baik. Untuk mempercepat proses pencocokkan wajah, maka ciri wajah tersebut dapat disederhanakan lagi dengan membuang data yang kurang relevan. Metode pengenalan wajah ini dikenal dengan nama metode Feature Reduction. Tools yang digunakan untuk melakukan analisis dan desain adalah Unified Modeling Language. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah aplikasi untuk mengenali wajah manusia dengan menggunakan metode Feature Reduction.
Bimodalna logopedska intervencija za gluho dijete s kohlearnim implantatom – prikaz slučaja
Authors: Martinković Zrinka , Bonetti Luka , Milković Marina
Published: February 2019

Cilj ovog stručnog rada je prikaz slučaja bimodalne logopedske intervencije prirođeno gluhog dječaka s kohlearnim implantatom, radi stjecanja boljeguvida u potencijal bimodalnog pristupa. Bimodalna logopedska intervencija predložena je zbog ustanovljenog oskudnog rječnika u odnosu na kronološku (4,9 godina starosti) i slušnu (3 godine slušanja) dob dječaka. Individualna bimodalna logopedska intervencija te (ne)formalno savjetovanje roditelja organizirani su u Centru za rehabilitaciju Edukacijsko-rehabilitacijskog fakulteta, dinamikom dva puta na tjedan po 60 minuta, u razdoblju od veljače do lipnja 2017. godine. Učinci bimodalne logopedske intervencije analizirani su mjerenjem kvantitativnih promjena dječakovog receptivnog i ekspresivnog rječnika Komunikacijskom razvojnom ljestvicom: Riječi i geste, koju su roditelji popunili u četiri navrata. S obzirom na utvrđeno gotovo stopostotno povećanje receptivnog i ekspresivnog rječnika dječaka, rezultati ovog istraživanja u skladu su s ranijim izvještajima o pozitivnim jezičnim učincima bimodalne logopedske intervencije kod pedijatrijskih korisnika kohlearnih implantata, čiji jezični razvoj ne napreduje prema očekivanjima s obzirom na dob, dok brzina kojom je povećanje rječnika ostvareno opravdava zaključak da u domaćim uvjetima bimodalni pristup posjeduje velik potencijal za jačanje jezičnih vještina prirođeno (na)gluhe djece.
A simple electronic device to experiment with the Hopf bifurcation
Authors: Rim D. N. , Cremades P. , Kaluza Pablo Federico
Published: February 2019

We present a simple low-cost electronic circuit that is able to show two different dynamical regimens with oscillations of voltages and with constant values of them. This device is designed as a negative feedback three-node network inspired in the genetic repressilator. The circuit's behavior is modeled by a system of differential equations which is studied in several different ways by applying the dynamical system formalism, making numerical simulations and constructing and measuring it experimentally. We find that the most important characteristics of the Hopf bifurcation can be found and controlled. Particularly, a resistor value plays the role of the bifurcation parameter, which can be easily varied experimentally. As a result, this system can be employed to introduce many aspects of a research in a real physical system and it enables us to study one of the most important kinds of bifurcation.
Greek Piety and the Charge against Socrates
Authors: Muir Steven
Published: February 2019

In this essay, I review some features of Greek religion at the time of Socrates. Since Socrates was accused of impiety, we need to have an informed, contextualized understanding of how Socrates’ contemporaries would have assessed whether a person was or was not religious. I suggest that we need to take seriously the action-oriented and socially-grounded components of religion at that time.
Socrates as Doctor: The Place of Care in His Diagnosis and Remedy
Authors: Butler Travis
Published: February 2019

Shame and reproach are among the harsh treatments Socrates administers in his role as doctor to Athenians’ souls. I argue that Socrates employs these not primarily as treatments for arrogance or epistemic hubris but rather for mistaken caring, defined as objectively incorrect attachments of importance and value. Identifying the target of Socrates’ shaming as mistaken caring clarifies both his diagnosis of the primary ethical sickness of his fellow citizens and the nature of his prescribed remedy. It shows the diagnosis to be more cogent and to cut more deeply than if it were focused on inflated ego and epistemic hubris; and it shows the prescribed remedy to be much more demanding as well. Socrates is calling on his fellow citizens to recognize the worthlessness of their current lives and to replace them with lives founded on a radically different set of cares and values.
Review of Kargashin, I. (2017). Russian poetic narrations in the 17th–21st centuries: Genesis. Evolution. Poetics. Moscow: Yazyki slavyanskoy kultury. 336 pages.
Authors: Bokarev A. S.
Published: February 2019

The review is concerned with detailed analysis of I. Kargashin’s monograph on Russian poetic narrations in the 17th–21st centuries. Normally applied to the epic genre, the concept of skaz [oral narration, tale] is extrapolated by the scholar to describe lyrical poetry. Hence the broad scope of issues discussed in the book: how accurately can the term be applied to lyrical works, since poetry is anti-narrative in its ‘pure form’? How can one structure the subjective sphere of poems, given that a skaz recreates a consciousness other than that of the author, unlike in lyrical poetry, where the author and the hero are inseparable? Following the questions, the scholar identifies typological characteristics of the examined phenomenon (appropriation of another’s consciousness, realization of this consciousness through a colloquial monologue, and depiction of the subject’s speech in verse), uncovers the reasons for its emergence (including ‘emancipation’ of the hero and transition to the spoken word), and traces its history and development.
Review of Kikhney, L. (2017). Under the sign of acmeism: Collected articles. Moscow: Azbukovnik. 608 pages.
Authors: Gavrikov V. A.
Published: February 2019

The main goal of the collection is to define the specific character of Acmeism as a separate trend inside Russian Modernism. This specification is derived through a series of basic categories like space and time continuum, the philosophy of the written word, and poetic semantics, etc. The collection is divided into several sections. The first, a summary of the general theory about the subject, discusses the significance of Acmeism in the Silver Age semantic paradigm. The second section is devoted to O. Mandelstam’s poetry, and in particular his logos concept. The third centres on A. Akhmatova’s poetics, with particular attention to her world view. It also includes several papers on A Poem Without a Hero [Poema bez geroya]. The fourth section covers various aspects of works by acmeists N. Gumilyov, V. Narbut, and M. Zenkevich.
Review of Vinogradova, L. (2015). Defending the Motherland. Women fighter pilots of the Great Patriotic War. Moscow: Kolibri, Azbuka-Attikus. 448 pages.
Authors: Perevalova S. V.
Published: February 2019

The review considers the opinions of L. Vinogradova, who wrote a book about Soviet women pilots during World War II, based on the recently discovered documentary evidence and witness reports, as well as taking into account the relevant experience of her predecessors. At the centre of the book is a life story of the war hero L. Litvyak, who shared a similar lot with her sisters in arms. Following the descriptions in war correspondent V. Grossman’s Stalingrad Notebooks [Stalingradskie tetradi], the author details aerial battles in the skies above Stalingrad. In her reconstruction of the ferocious engagements, Vinogradova also covers the boisterous propaganda of pre-war years and questionable episodes in Russian war history. The book seeks to disprove the American historian B. Yenne, who, in his biography called The White Rose of Stalingrad, showed L. Litvyak as yesterday’s schoolgirl, killed when not yet 22.
