Neural Network Model to Calculate the Creep Data Using Size
Authors: .K Seetharam , Gowda Sharana Basava , Varadaraj .
Published: June 2018

In Software engineering software metrics play wide and deeper scope. Many projects fail because of risks in software engineering development[1]t. Among various risk factors creeping is also one factor. The paper discusses approximate volume of creeping requirements that occur after the completion of the nominal requirements phase. This is using software size measured in function points at four different levels. The major risk factors are depending both directly and indirectly associated with software size of development. Hence It is possible to predict risk due to creeping cause using size.
Sustainability of the Media: Pre-requisite for Economic Growth in Nigeria for National Development
Authors: C Touitou, Tina
Published: June 2018

This paper focuses on the ability of media to play its vital role as the ‘fourth estate without compromising their integrity of their profession, and toprovide citizens with useful, timely and objective information, as well as to operate free and independent without political, legal, social or economic restrictions.It’ further emphasizes on how the media ownership and concentration allows transparency, so that consumers are able to judge the content and have access to different points of view, in order to ward off government controls and the impact, control has on the diversity of public broadcasting. The paper employed empirical secondary data, and Media Dependency Theory was adopted. It thereby recommended that Journalists are expected to operate without interference or fear of violence, and as well enjoy stable legal and business conditions that pay decent salaries, discourage media corruption, and promote sector-wide integrity. It also concluded that the media should be strong, free and independent to enable them avoid involving in corrupt practices that would jeopardy their integrities and their ethical profession.

16-17-vuotiaiden suomalaisnuorten puheäänen korkeus
Authors: Ketolainen Ilkka , Laakso Minna , Simberg Susanna
Published: July 2018

Puheäänen korkeuteen (F0) vaikuttavat anatomisten ja biologisten tekijöiden lisäksi erilaiset sosiokulttuuriset ja behavioraaliset käyttäytymismallit. Äänenkäytön kannalta epäoptimaaliset mallit voivat johtaa jopa äänihäiriöihin. Tutkimus selvitti, mikä on suomea äidinkielenään puhuvien 16–17-vuotiaiden nuorten puheäänen korkeus ääneen luettaessa ja spontaanipuheessa. Lisäksi tutkittavilta mitattiin lukunopeus, F0 vokaalifonaatiossa, ja heiltä kerättiin äänenkorkeuden itsearvio. Tuloksia verrattiin Aino Sallinen-Kuparisen (1985) tutkimukseen, jossa havaittiin puhujien sukupuolen ja koulutustaustan vaikuttavan F0:an.

Suomalaisnuorten puhekäyttäytyminen näyttäisi muuttuneen 30 vuodessa: Sallinen-Kuparisen (1985) tutkimuksessa ammattikoulutytöt puhuivat lukiotyttöjä korkeammalta ja sukupuolten välillä esiintyi eri puhetehtävissä eri strategioita, mutta tässä tutkimuksessa koulutustausta tai sukupuoli ei ollut yhteydessä äänenkorkeuden säätelyyn puheessa. Tyttöjen F0 oli luennassa 216 Hz ja spontaanipuheessa 213 Hz. Poikien F0 oli kansainvälisesti verrattuna matala: lukunäytteissä 101 Hz ja spontaanipuheessa 97 Hz. Mahdollisesti poikiin vaikuttaa täysi-ikäisyyden kynnyksellä sosiaalinen normi, joka arvostaa matalan puheäänen käyttöä. Matalaa puheääntä suosittiin myös itsearvioissa: valtaosa tutkittavista arvioi puhekorkeutensa keskivertoa matalammaksi.
Detección mediante pirosecuenciación de la mutación nt230 [del4] del gen ABCB1 canino y determinación de su prevalencia en razas de perros pastores en la provincia de Buenos Aires
Authors: Crespi Julian Alejandro , Barrientos Laura Soledad , Arizmendi Analia , Peral Garcia Pilar , Giovambattista Guillermo
Published: June 2018

El gen ABCB1 codifica para la glicoproteína P (Pgp), una proteína de membrana que transporta múltiples fármacos fuera de la célula. Este gen se expresa principalmente en la barrera hematoencefálica, cumpliendo también importantes funciones en otros órganos. En caninos, se ha informado una deleción de 4 pb en el exón 4, que genera una terminación prematura y una proteína no funcional. Los animales homocigotos para la mutación presentan neurotoxicidad al administrarles drogas como las avermectinas. Esta mutación ha sido comunicada principalmente en collie, border collie y otras razas de perros pastores. El objetivo del trabajo consistió en desarrollar un método de diagnóstico rápido de la mutación nt230 [del4] del gen ABCB1 basado en pirosecuenciación y validarla en una población local. Se analizaron 72 perros mediante pirosecuenciación y secuenciación directa. Los resultados obtenidos con ambas técnicas evidenciaron 100 % de concordancia. El cálculo de la frecuencia génica del alelo nt230 [del4] (q) mostró diferencias entre las razas tipificadas: collie (n=30 y q=0,32), border collie (n=17 y q=0,06), pastor de Shetland (n=12 y q=0) y otras (n=16 y q=0). El valor promedio obtenido de frecuencia génica del alelo nt230 [del4] resultó menor al reportado en otros países. En conclusión, el método desarrollado podría ser utilizado para la detección temprana de la mutación nt230 [del4] causal de la deficiencia de Pgp, siendo una herramienta muy útil para la reproducción controlada y la prevención de la neurotoxicidad en los pacientes frente a tratamientos con avermectinas y otras drogas sustrato de la Pgp.
Estudio del comportamiento porcino: una mirada etológica sobre la producción porcina
Authors: Arroyo Paula , Ferrari Hector Ricardo , Antonini Alicia Graciela
Published: June 2018

El conocimiento del comportamiento permite mejorar el manejo de los animales utilizados en producción y optimizar su bienestar. La disciplina de las ciencias biológicas que aborda este tema es la etología. Basada en la teoría de la evolución, pone énfasis en cuatro tipos de explicaciones, conocidas como las “4 preguntas de Tinbergen”. ¿Son estos cuatro abordajes útiles para la etología aplicada a la producción de porcinos? ¿Las investigaciones en etología pueden aportar a la mejora en las condiciones de crianza? Y, fundamentalmente, ¿son relevantes para el bienestar animal? Algunas prácticas realizadas de manera “intuitiva” o “empírica” hoy pueden ser identificadas como “la ayuda silenciosa” que la etología ha aportado a cada etapa productiva desde el inicio de la utilización de la cría de animales domésticos, particularmente cuando esta comienza a realizarse de manera intensiva. Esta ayuda silenciosa generó un conjunto de saberes específicos que, paradójicamente, no se relacionan con esta disciplina. Proponemos aquí darle voz a esta ayuda, identificando los distintos desarrollos etológicos implicados en la producción porcina.

“El descubrimiento comienza con la conciencia de la existencia de anomalías, esto es, con el reconocimiento de que la naturaleza en cierto modo ha violado las expectativas creadas por los paradigmas que suelen gobernar las ciencias”.  (Thomas Kuhn)

En la actualidad, el paradigma que gobierna a las disciplinas administrativas empieza a dar señales de resquebrajamiento. Deberían irrumpir nuevas formas de estudiar y analizar a las organizaciones y a sus actores. Problemas que hasta hace unos años eran irrelevantes, hoy deberían ocupar lugares centrales en la investigación.

Ante este panorama invitamos a leer el número 12 de la Revista Ciencias Administrativas, correspondiente al período julio-diciembre de 2018, donde encontraran artículos científicos y ensayos que avanzan en nuevas problemáticas de interés relacionadas con el estudio de las organizaciones desde distintas perspectivas disciplinares.

Nos llenaría de orgullo que nuestra Revista sirva para catalizar iniciativas que reflejen los  cambios de paradigma, por eso invitamos a todos nuestros lectores a  reflexionar sobre nuevos temas y problemas y a proponernos artículos para los próximos números.

En este número el lector encontrará artículos que nos invitan a reflexionar sobre temas como: la Responsabilidad Social empresaria; los cambios y dificultades en la gestión universitaria; las nuevas perspectivas para enriquecer las funciones laborales; el uso de metodologías cualitativas; el pensamiento holístico en el estudio de la actitud hacia las marcas; la contabilidad para el gobierno corporativo y la formalización del comportamiento en las organizaciones.

Por último, nos complace felicitar al nuevo Decano de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, el Mg. Eduardo De Giusti, quien ha dado impulso y permanente apoyo a esta publicación.

Effect of refrigeration of clinical canine urine samples on quantitative bacterial culture
Authors: Acierno Mark J. , Partyka Megan , Waite Kyle , da Cunha Anderson , Mitchell Mark A.
Published: July 2018

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of 24 hours of refrigeration on urine samples collected from dogs with signs of urinary tract infection (UTI).

DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study.

ANIMALS 104 dogs with signs consistent with UTI that had a urine sample collected via cystocentesis as part of their diagnostic workup.

PROCEDURES A 1-mL aliquot of each urine sample was refrigerated at 5°C for 24 hours in a plain glass tube, then processed for quantitative bacterial culture (QBC). A 0.5-mL aliquot was added to 3 mL of tryptic soy broth (TSB) and refrigerated at 5°C for 24 hours, then processed for QBC. The remaining portion was immediately processed for QBC, with results reported as numbers of bacterial colony–forming units (CFUs). Sensitivity of the QBC for detection of bacteria (and therefore UTI) was determined for sample refrigeration in the 2 conditions, compared with immediate processing (reference standard).

RESULTS Bacterial growth was identified in 35.6% (n = 37), 33.7% (35), and 31.7% (33) of the immediately processed, refrigerated, and refrigerated-in-TSB urine samples, respectively. Sample refrigeration without TSB resulted in no significant difference in CFU counts relative to immediate processing; however, the sensitivity of this method was 95% (35/37). Sample refrigeration with TSB resulted in significantly lower CFU counts, and sensitivity was only 89% (33/37).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Canine urine samples collected for bacterial culture should be immediately submitted for testing. Although CFU counts for refrigerated and immediately processed samples were statistically similar in this study, sample refrigeration in enrichment broth resulted in imperfect sensitivity for UTI detection and is not recommended.

Published: July 2018

CASE DESCRIPTION A 2.5-year-old 12-kg (26.4-lb) castrated male Miniature American Shepherd was referred because of a 3-week history of a localized crusted skin lesion on the digital pad of digit 3 of the right hind limb.

CLINICAL FINDINGS Skin lesions were noted on the digital pads of the right hind limb. Serum biochemical analyses indicated severe hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Ultrasonography of the terminal portion of the aorta and other major arterial vessels revealed substantial arteriosclerotic change.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Medical treatments included administration of atorvastatin calcium, a low-fat diet, and omega-3 fatty acids to reduce serum lipids concentration; clopidogrel to prevent thrombosis; pentoxifylline to improve microcirculatory blood flow; clomipramine hydrochloride and trazodone hydrochloride to help with the behavioral problems; and gabapentin to help with pain management and behavioral problems. Surgical management included amputation of the initial digit involved, then eventually the entire initial limb involved. The response to treatment was poor, and euthanasia was elected. Postmortem findings revealed severe, widespread, and chronic intimal atherosclerosis; mild, widespread, and degenerative changes in the cerebral cortex; and edema and vascular congestion in the meninges.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE To the authors' knowledge, this was the first report of skin necrosis secondary to atherosclerosis in a dog. Although the incidence of atherosclerosis has been considered very low in dogs, it should be investigated in dogs with severe hyperlipidemia. Primary hyperlipidemia has not been previously described in Miniature American Shepherd dogs but was the suspected underlying metabolic disorder.
Evaluation of access to long-term care services for old people ageing in place in Slovenia
Authors: Hlebec Valentina
Published: June 2018

Theory

The quality of long-term care services has an important effect on the quality of life of their users and their informal carers. By identifying gaps between provision of services and users’ needs we can suggest adjustments of the long-term care services and advance their development.

Method

The data from the first Slovenian national survey of social homecare (SHC) users and their informal carers was utilised. Linear regression analysis was used to evaluate factors that affect assessments of five-dimensional concept of access.

Results

On average, affordability was rated the lowest (mean=2.9) and acceptability the highest (4.0), with availability, accessibility and accommodation (mean=3.6) in the middle. Regression analysis explains 15% of variability in affordability, while for other dimensions much less. Caregiver’s needs are the most influential predictor of access, negatively influencing the rating of access (availability B=.127, accommodation B=-.113, acceptability B=-.120, affordability B=-.155). Care recipients’ needs also affect the rating of affordability (B=-.132). Family income negatively influences the rating of availability (B=-.115), accessibility (B=-.076) and affordability (B=-.270). Residents of rural areas rate availability (B=-.070) and affordability (B=-.067) less favourable.

Discussion

This study showed that affordability is rated the least favourable among components of access. Adjustment in private out-of-pocket co-payment mechanism is suggested.
What can we learn from each other about undergraduate medical education in general practice/family medicine?
Authors: Zakarija-Grković Irena , Vrdoljak Davorka , Cerovečki Venija
Published: June 2018

Introduction

There is a dearth of published literature on the organisation of family medicine/general practice undergraduate teaching in the former Yugoslavia.

Methods

A semi-structured questionnaire was sent to the addresses of 19 medical schools in the region. Questions covered the structure of Departments of Family Medicine (DFM), organisation of teaching, assessment of students and their involvement in departmental activities.

Results

Thirteen medical schools responded, of which twelve have a formal DFM. Few DFM have full-time staff, with most relying upon external collaborators. Nine of 13 medical schools have family doctors teaching other subjects, covering an average of 2.4 years of the medical curriculum (range: 1-5). The total number of hours dedicated to teaching ranged from 30 - 420 (Md 180). Practice-based teaching prevails, which is conducted both in city and rural practices in over half of the respondent schools. Written exams are conducted at all but two medical schools, with the written grade contributing between 30 and 75 percent (Md=40%) of the total score. Nine medical schools have a formal method of practical skills assessment, five of which use Objective Structured Clinical Examinations. Student participation is actively sought at all but three medical schools, mainly through research.

Conclusion

Most medical schools of the former Yugoslavia recognise the importance of family medicine in undergraduate education, although considerable variations exist in the organisation of teaching. Where DFM do not exist, we hope our study will provide evidence to support their establishment and the employment of more GPs by medical schools.

Kist
hidatik tüm dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de yaygın helminto-zoonoz bir
hastalıktır. Kist hidatik bir yandan toplum sağlığını ciddi olarak tehdit
ederken, diğer yandan da koyun, keçi, sığır gibi kasaplık hayvanlarda et, süt,
yapağı ve döl veriminin azalmasına, başta karaciğer ve akciğer olmak üzere
kistli organların imhasına ve vücut direncinin kırılarak diğer hastalıklara
yakalanma riskinin artmasına neden olarak ülke ekonomisini olumsuz yönde
etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızda Muş ve yöresinde insanlarda ELISA yöntemiyle, besi
hayvanlarından sığır, koyun ve keçilerde kesim takipleriyle kist hidatik
yaygınlığı araştırıldı. Köpeklerde ise Nested-PCR yöntemiyle E. granulosus görülme

(%12.7), 621 keçinin 102’sinde (% 16.4)) kist hidatik saptandı. Toplanan 728
insan serumunun 30’unda (%4.1) kist hidatik sero-pozitifliği bulundu.
Köpeklerdeki E. granulosus sıklığını belirlemek için toplanan 100 köpek
dışkısının Nested-PCR yöntemiyle incelemesiyle 9‘unda (%9) E. granulosus
bulunurken dışkıların direkt ve çinko sülfat yüzdürme yöntemiyle incelenmesiyle
28’inde (%28) Taenia spp. yumurtaları tespit edildi. Kist
hidatiğin görülme sıklığının sığırlarda, insanlarda yaşla orantılı olarak
arttığı gözlemlenirken koyun ve keçilerde böyle bir bulguya rastlanmadı. E.
granulosus görülme oranının ise köpeklerde yaşla orantılı olarak arttığı
belirlendi. Sonuç olarak Muş ve yöresinde köpeklerde E. granulosus yaygındır.
Aynı zamanda insanlarda, sığırlarda, koyun ve keçilerde kist hidatik görülme
oranı da yüksektir. Ülkemizde olduğu gibi Muş ve yöresinde halkın kist hidatik

Hedging and Boosting the Rhetorical Structure of English Newspaper Editorials
Authors: Zarza Sahar
Published: June 2018

To present the official position of newspapers effectively to the public, the editors’ awareness of the rhetorical structure and linguistic elements employed in editorials is essential. Yet, no studies have explored the use of hedges and boosters in each rhetorical move of the editorials. To realize the objectives, 240 editorials published in the New York Times (NYT) and New Straits Times (NST) were analyzed at both macro and micro levels. The results revealed that both types of newspapers prefer the use of hedges to boosters in editorials. Furthermore, it was revealed that hedges in the NYT editorials were less frequent than their Malaysian counterpart, while boosters in the NYT were more frequently used than in the NST. This reveals that it is a convention in editorials to be tentative in expressing their view point, while in comparison NYT seems to be more bold, and certain in expressing its stance than NST that is more tentative. In addition, in the NYT hedges and boosters were predominantly found in the third move (Justifying or refuting events) while in the NST they were found in the last move (Articulating position). This distribution could be due to the communicative purpose of each move.
Uma tradução do poema Moretum em hexâmetro datílico português
Authors: Grochocki Marina
Published: June 2018

O poema pseudo-virgiliano Moretum tem sido cada vez mais abordado pela crítica contemporânea não apenas em relação à questão da autoria, mas sim das suas relações intertextuais com outros textos clássicos. O artigo busca traçar um breve panorama desses estudos mais recentes, apontando para o leitor quais as possíveis interpretações das relações entre Moretum e os autores Virgílio e Ovídio. Para isso, são elencadas brevemente algumas características comuns ao poema do Apêndice Virgiliano e às obras de Virgílio, assim como outras são comparadas a uma cena de theoxenia em Ovídio. Ao fim, apresenta-se o texto original em latim, problematizando algumas de suas passagens mais incertas, e uma proposta de tradução do poema para o português. Nessa tradução, utilizamos o modelo chamado “hexâmetro datílico em português”, que busca emular através de oposição entre sílabas átonas e tônicas na língua portuguesa o ritmo dos hexâmetros datílicos.
Os Oráculos Caldeus: contexto histórico e filosofia
Authors: Körbes Hauschild Álvaro
Published: June 2018

Os Oráculos Caldeus são um conjunto de versos em hexâmetros que floresceu no segundo e terceiro séculos d.C. e são o primeiro testemunho da teurgia, doutrina que marcou o desenvolvimento de todo o neoplatonismo a partir de Porfírio. Os versos foram coletados de citações de neoplatônicos como Proclo, Damáscio, Pselo e Pletón, para os quais a doutrina dos Oráculos Caldeus eram familiares e constituíam, junto do hermetismo e do gnosticismo, o “submundo do platonismo” tardio. Os Oráculos são conhecidos por buscar a salvação da alma humana a partir da inspiração divina e dos rituais tradicionais; os teurgos usavam uma linguagem simbólica e palavras mágicas para invocar divindades das quais recebiam as mensagens oraculares em transe, concepção que desafia o racionalismo helenístico da época. Os Oráculos são considerados o último resquício do paganismo antigo. O neoplatônico Jâmblico é uma fonte importante para se conhecer a doutrina, tendo escrito uma obra em defesa da teurgia, que foi preservada.

Published: July 2018

As it has been widely known that the spectacular characteristics of nanomaterials are strongly dependent on their particle size, crystal structure, and molecular arrangement. The fine structure formation of nanomaterials is inevitable in an attempt of optimizing their promising applications in various fields. One of the notable nanomaterials up to now is hausmannite or Mn3O4. This paper presents a combination of coprecipitation and sonochemical routes in a concurrent way to produce spinel-structured hausmannite nanomaterials. The pH was varied during the synthesis at values of 9, 10, 11, 11.5, and 12. The crystal structure properties were evaluated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) with the diffraction angle range of 15° - 80°. The functional groups were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry having wavenumber from 400 to 4000 cm-1. In this study, pH 10 was found to be the best synthesis parameter in producing Mn3O4. Both XRD and FTIR data analyses have agreed on the formation of spinel hausmannite nanomaterials.

The determination of metallic elements by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry reaffirms the success of the technique for ecological and toxicological studies of environmental contamination. In order to contribute to the scientific research on anthropogenic contamination, the study of Lead in stools of Lontra longicaudis (Olfers, 1818) in the Guaraguaçu River Basin aims to understand the anthropogenic environmental contamination of the local ecosystem, located in one of the largest port areas in Brazil. Six samples were collected along the Guaraguaçu River. To determine the Lead concentration by the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry method, samples were extracted with HNO3. Concentration values of approximately 1 mg L-1 were detected. There is a need to deepen the development of possible actions to control, monitor and inspection this element in the environment and in its main anthropogenic sources of contamination.

Published: June 2018

Durante las últimas cuatro décadas, se han desarrollado estrategias para entender y optimizar el manejo los bienes pertenecientes al patrimonio cultural. Un ejemplo representativo se encuentra en el uso de métodos geofísicos aplicados en arqueología. En las siguientes páginas se describirá la contribución de estas técnicas para la conservación de bienes pertenecientes al patrimonio cultural arqueológico inmueble, examinando sus ventajas y limitaciones. Para el efecto, se utilizan las imágenes de resistividad obtenidas de una prospección eléctrica aplicada a dos montículos circulares localizados en cantón San Miguel de Urcuquí. La prospección eléctrica facilitó la comprensión del comportamiento del subsuelo en este tipo de estructuras. Los resultados permitieron identificar el límite inferior de las tolas, sin embargo, para validar la interpretación fue necesario utilizar datos obtenidos mediante métodos tradicionales (excavación). La información obtenida, a través de métodos invasivos y no invasivos, fue complementaria debido a que permitió validar un patrón en el proceso constructivo de este tipo estructuras.

Direct current regimes in the linear electric circuits according to the relativistic circuit theory
Authors: Panov Emil Ivanov
Published: June 2018

The paper is dedicated to a missing chapter of the circuit theory, which is connected with the special theory of relativity. It is concerned with the direct current regimes in the linear electric circuits, which are moving with speeds smaller than the speed of light or close to it. In it a series of basic questions, connected with the relativistic forms of the fundamental laws for the electric circuits (Kirchhoff’s current law, Kirchhoff’s voltage law, Ohm’s law, Joule’s law, the energy conservation law), are observed. The relativistic forms of the basic quantities of the electric circuits (currents, voltages, powers) and the relativistic relations of the basic parameters of the circuits (resistances, conductances, capacitances, inductances) are presented, too. These formulas are extracted step by step by the help of Maxwell-Hertz-Einstein system of basic equations of the electromagnetic field, which is applied to fast moving objects (linear electric circuits) with arbitrary velocities less than the speed of light or even close to it. The final results are illustrated by the help of some simple examples about fast moving linear electric circuits. Their analyses are presented step by step in order to show the validity of the received relations.

Mevlânâ Celâleddîn
Rumî’nin ahlak öğretisinde mutluluk konusunun ele alındığı bu çalışmada Mevlânâ’nın
mutluluk kavramına yüklediği anlamların incelenmesi ve etik değerinin gösterilmesi
hedeflenmiştir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada daha çok literatür taraması ve temel
kaynakların incelenmesine dayalı bir yöntem kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda
Hz. Mevlânâ’nın geçici bedensel hazlardan ziyade kalıcı ruhî hazlara dayalı
dinî-tasavvufi yönü ağır basan bir “manevî mutluluk” anlayışı
geliştirdiği görülmüştür. Onun, mutluluğu daha çok insanın Allah ile kurduğu
psikolojik bir birlik bilinci içerisinde aradığı ve “gönül huzuru” veya
“sükûn hâli” ile ifade ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of metatarsal head resection arthroplasty of the small toes using a plantar approach in patients with severe forefoot deformities. Methods: Twelve patients (15 feet), 10 females and two males, age 53 to 81 years old, with diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis were evaluatedbetween January 2014 and September 2017. All patients underwent the same surgical technique – metatarsal head resection arthroplasty of the small toes via a plantar approach. The evaluation was based on pain according to the visual analogue scale, the type of footwear used and the index of patient satisfaction with the surgery. Results: In the series studied, all 12 patients (15 feet) presented significant pain improvement. Regarding wound healing, only one patient had a calloused scar, but without painful or functional impairment. Eleven individuals (14 feet) could wear all types of footwear, and only one had touse custom footwear. Conclusion: Metatarsal head resection arthroplasty of the smaller toes using a plantar approach is a safe, reliable and effective technique for the treatment of patients with severe forefoot deformities.

Objective: The main objective of this study is to describe the preliminary results of modified osteotomy with elevation of the first metatarsal to repair cavovarus foot deformities. Methods: In a five-case series, radiographic findings related to the modified osteotomy with elevation of the first ray were analysed.Results: Five patients who underwent a modified osteotomy with elevation were followed up for a minimum of six months. One hundred percent consolidation rates were observed, with no complications related to the materials, such as screw breakage, screw loosening and/or pseudoarthrosis (0% of the cases), regardless of age and gender. Conclusion: The modified technique generates an osteotomy plane that is more horizontal, reducing the technical difficulty and resulting in less risk of loss of fixation during passage of the screw. Using a single screw for fixation reduces the cost of the procedure and pseudarthrosis rates.

Inscription is a written record which contains regulation or law and should be obeyed by officers or functionaries and community in general. Sapatha or curse was normally written at the end of the inscription which states the punishment for those who objected the regulations or laws. People punished morally if they objected the regulations or law include seven times to be reincarnated and surfering in all their lives. Sapatha or curse was seen as a discourse in relation of power and knowledge of the kings who reigned in the Old Balinese period. This article explores the sapatha or curse in Old Balinese inscriptions dated from the IX up to XIV century. The aim of this article is to describe the relationship of power and knowledge, as well as discipline and punishment in ancient Bali. Data was gained through documentary studies and interpreted hermeneutically. Theories of ideology, knowledge and power, as well as discipline and punishment will be applied in this article.

Authors: Yusa I Gede
Published: July 2018

The Resolution of the UN General Assembly in 2000 has mandated to discuss indigenous issues related to economic and social development, culture, environment, education, health and human rights. In national law, the recognition of the existence of traditional people with customary rights can be found in Article 18 B paragraph (2) and Article 28  paragraph  (3) of  the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945. This study discusses the rights that grow and thrive in indigenous communities in Bali which are associated with the life of society and state. Also the responsiveness or recognition of Indonesia to the presence of the state constitution means the rights of indigenous peoples has grown and developed  in Bali and empowerment efforts  need to be done for   the rights of indigenous peoples has grown and developed in Bali to be able to be a force in the life of society and state. Studies on the identification of the rights of the traditional lifestyle that are recognized in the community as well  as prospective empowered in the state of life in Indonesia can be classified as a normative legal research conducted on the relevant legal materials. Legal materials and supporting information that has been gathered up with regard to research on the identification and analysis of the rights of traditional communities in Indonesian Studies State Laws (A Study of Traditional Balinese Community) Firstly the description  and  interpretation  was  carried  out,  or  interpretation of the normative propositions found to be further systematized in accordance with discussion on the subject matter of this study. The results of this analysis are three techniques to evaluate and analyze its content according to the given arguments and conclusions of law to get a top issue in this study. States have  an obligation to give recognition to indigenous peoples based on the constitution. Responsiveness or the constitutional recognition of the existence of  the rights  of indigenous peoples has grown and developed in Bali are envisaged in the constitution, namely Article 18B  paragraph  (2) and  Article 28  paragraph  (3)  of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945. The constitutional mandate must be obeyed by state officials to regulate the recognition and respect for indigenous peoples in some form of legislation. While the empowerment of local people has been recognized by constitution, yet much remain to be done. The rights of indigenous peoples which has grown and developed in Bali should be legally enforced in the life of society and state.
