Risk Factor Modeling for Cardiovascular Disease in Type 1 Diabetes in the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) Study: A Comparison With the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study (DCCT/EDIC)
Authors: Miller Rachel G. , Costacou Tina , Orchard Trevor J.
Published: November 2018

In a recent Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study report, mean HbA1c was the strongest predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) after age. In DCCT/EDIC, mean diabetes duration was 6 years (median 4) at baseline and those with high blood pressure or cholesterol were excluded. We now replicate these analyses in the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) prospective cohort study of childhood-onset (at <17 years of age) type 1 diabetes, with similar age (mean 27 years in both studies) but longer diabetes duration (mean 19 years and median 18 years) and no CVD risk factor exclusion at baseline. CVD incidence (CVD death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, revascularization, angina, or ischemic electrocardiogram) was associated with diabetes duration, most recent albumin excretion rate (AER), updated mean triglycerides, baseline hypertension, baseline LDL cholesterol, and most recent HbA1c. Major atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (CVD death, MI, or stroke) were associated with diabetes duration, most recent AER, baseline systolic blood pressure, baseline smoking, and updated mean HbA1c. Compared with findings in DCCT/EDIC, traditional risk factors similarly predicted CVD; however AER predominates in EDC and HbA1c in DCCT/EDIC. Thus, the relative impact of HbA1c and kidney disease in type 1 diabetes varies according to diabetes duration.

Numerous studies have investigated individual biomarkers in relation to risk of type 2 diabetes. However, few have considered the interconnectivity of these biomarkers in the etiology of diabetes as well as the potential changes in the biomarker correlation network during diabetes development. We conducted a secondary analysis of 27 plasma biomarkers representing glucose metabolism, inflammation, adipokines, endothelial dysfunction, IGF axis, and iron store plus age and BMI at blood collection from an existing case-control study nested in the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS), including 1,303 incident diabetes case subjects and 1,627 healthy women. A correlation network was constructed based on pairwise Spearman correlations of the above factors that were statistically different between case and noncase subjects using permutation tests (P < 0.0005). We further evaluated the network structure separately among diabetes case subjects diagnosed <5, 5–10, and >10 years after blood collection versus noncase subjects. Although pairwise biomarker correlations tended to have similar directions comparing diabetes case subjects to noncase subjects, most correlations were stronger in noncase than in case subjects, with the largest differences observed for the insulin/HbA1c and leptin/adiponectin correlations. Leptin and soluble leptin receptor were two hubs of the network, with large numbers of different correlations with other biomarkers in case versus noncase subjects. When examining the correlation network by timing of diabetes onset, there were more perturbations in the network for case subjects diagnosed >10 years versus <5 years after blood collection, with consistent differential correlations of insulin and HbA1c. C-peptide was the most highly connected node in the early-stage network, whereas leptin was the hub for mid- or late-stage networks. Our results suggest that perturbations of the diabetes-related biomarker network may occur decades prior to clinical recognition. In addition to the persistent dysregulation between insulin and HbA1c, our results highlight the central role of the leptin system in diabetes development.

Educación superior desde la visión de los estudiantes de dos universidades interculturales / High Education from the perspective of the students of two intercultural universities
Authors: Ramírez Valverde Benito , Bustillos Ibarra Odilia Sujey , Juárez Sánchez Pedro
Published: November 2018

Las universidades interculturales en México fueron creadas hace poco como respuesta a un nuevo modelo educativo. Por eso, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue conocer la opinión de los alumnos que cursaban estudios en dos de esas instituciones en relación con el desarrollo de sus perfiles académicos, sus expectativas laborales, así como la calidad de la educación recibida en esas casas de estudio en comparación con la que se ofrece en universidades convencionales. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas a 64 estudiantes de la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de Puebla y a 97 alumnos de la Universidad Autónoma Indígena de México. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de ellos tienen raíces indígenas, son originarios de las regiones donde se encuentran ubicadas esas instituciones y consideran que sus familias se encuentran en condiciones de pobreza. De hecho, y a pesar de que muchos cuentan con una beca, un elevado porcentaje considera que las limitaciones económicas son uno de los principales factores que promueven la deserción escolar. Aun así, se encuentran satisfechos con la enseñanza que se les ofrece y opinan que reciben mejor capacitación que la que se les podría brindar en instituciones convencionales. Igualmente, creen que existe un amplio campo de trabajo para los egresados, y destacan el interés de los estudiantes en el rescate de la lengua y la cultura de los grupos indígenas, así como su vinculación con la comunidad.

BackgroundHuman aging is a universal and regular process characterized by uneven and steady progression, inevitably affecting to some extent all levels of biological organization. In the structure of acute exotoxicosis, patients of gerontological age range from 10.3 to 12.9%. After 60, with an increase of years, there is a growth of mortality rate from 9.8% in elderly patients to 25.5% in long-livers. A certain role in its genesis is played by the premorbid background, i.e. somatic diseases preceding and accompanying acute exotoxicosis.

Aim of studyTo identify the role of concomitant diseases in the course and outcome of acute poisoning by psychoactive drugs in patients over 60. MATErIALS AnD METhODS We retrospectively analyzed hospital records of 99 patients aged 60 to 90 years who died from poisoning with psychoactive drugs at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine in 2013–2016, as well as their autopsy, forensic and histological research data.

ResultsIn gerontological patients with acute poisoning with psychoactive drugs, the main premorbid background (100%) is atherosclerotic lesion of the heart and vessels of different degree and extent. In case of lethal outcomes, in toxicogenic stage of poisoning on primary electrocardiograms, myocardial ischemia was revealed in 76.9% of cases, heart rhythm disturbances were detected in all patients, most often in the form of supraventricular extrasystoles (38.4%) and atrial fibrillation (23.1%). In the deceased patients during the somatogenic stage of poisoning, cardiac conduction disorders (31.3%) prevailed. Concomitant chronic lesions of the bronchopulmonary system, including terminal bronchi, contributed to the development of hypostatic pneumonia and its long, migratory course. In 50% of cases, large and small droplet fatty liver disease was detected, which could have a negative effect on the course of poisoning, altering biotransformation of toxicants.

ConclusionAtherosclerotic lesion of the heart and vessels, as well as chronic bronchopulmonary disease and fatty liver disease are the main premorbid background factors, which have a negative effect on the course and outcome of acute poisoning with psychoactive drugs.
Nicolai Hartmanns Kritische Ontologie („wie sie als Grundlage der Gnoseologie anzustreben ist“) und der Kritische Realismus der Gestaltpsychologie („Berliner Schule“/Gestalttheorie)
Authors: Walter Hans-Jürgen P.
Published: November 2018

The author exemplifies the congruency of essential foundations between the critical realism of the Berlin School of Gestalt Psychology (Gestalt theory) and Nicolai Hartmann`s Critical Ontology. For instance, this congruency manifests in the importance given to critical-realistic epistemology - purified from idealistic prejudices, not least prejudices such as production-theoretical ones - connected with an unconditional phenomenology. Altogether, it results in a shared critical distance from scholars of Brentano, such as Husserl and Meinong, as well as from Neo-Kantianism.
Individuum, Gruppe und Gesellschaft. Unmittelbare und mittelbare Kontexteffekte und deren Bedeutung für die Theorie der Sozialpolitik
Authors: Kubon-Gilke Gisela
Published: November 2018

The current theory of social policy is characterized by considerable inconsistencies and analytical gaps. Disciplinary one-sidedness goes together with nontransparent and partially incompatible epistemological considerations. In this paper, it is shown that the Gestalt theory can be a sound starting point for the theory of social policy. Gestalt theory provides a groundwork for the selection of behavioral assumptions, the understanding of self-organization processes and the formulation of basic normative questions.
Association Between Acute Inflammatory Response and Infarct Size in Stemi Patients Undergoing Primary PCI
Authors: Morariu Mirabela , Márton Emese , Mester András , Rațiu Mihaela , Benedek Imre
Published: November 2018

Background: The inflammatory response of the immune system plays a major role in the period following an acute myocardial infarction (MI), as it coordinates the formation of the fibrous scar tissue that replaces the infarcted myocardial cells and ultimately leads to healing and remodeling of the affected zone. Along with other pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and acute phase proteins, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with the extent of the infarct size (IS) and may serve as predictors for remodeling and adverse left ventricular (LV) function. Material and methods: A single-center, non-randomized, observational prospective study was conducted, which included 75 patients with primary revascularized ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) serum levels were determined on day 1 and day 5 following the acute event. IL-6 was also determined on day 1. All patients underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at 1-month follow-up with determination of LV function and quantification of the scar tissue using late gadolinium enhancement imaging. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on baseline hs-CRP values. Results: Patients with higher baseline hs-CRP levels presented significantly higher infarct size (p = 0.0003), higher transmural extent (p <0.0001), lower LV ejection fraction (p = 0.0024), end-systolic (p = 0.0021) and end-diastolic (p = 0.0065) volumes. Small IS (<10%) recorded the lowest levels of hs-CRP, while IS >20% presented the highest levels of hs-CRP, at baseline and day 5 (p = 0.4 and 0.001). IL-6 levels were also associated with the magnitude of infarct scar: 2.17 pg/mL for IS <10%, 15.52 pg/mL for IS between 10% and 20%, and 24.52 pg/mL for IS >20%, p = 0.002. Conclusion: hs-CRP and IL-6 serum levels following an MI are correlated with IS, transmurality extent of the scar tissue, as well as with altered systolic and diastolic LV function determined by CMR at 1-month follow-up.

Published: November 2018

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the factors associated with increased mortality in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia, emphasizing the importance of an early diagnosis and a prompt surgical intervention in order to avoid lesion progression. Materials and method: A retrospective analytical study was conducted on a study population of 50 male and female patients with acute ischemia of the mesenteric arteries, aged between 36-92 years. Demographic and pathological history characteristics were assessed, together with presented symptoms, laboratory and CT findings, as well as surgical outcome and time-related aspects between presentation in the emergency department and time of surgery, as well as the hospitalization period until discharge or death. Results: Muscular defense (OR = 23.05) and shock (OR = 13.24) as symptoms were strongly associated with a poor prognosis, while elevated values of lactate dehydrogenase (p = 0.0440) and creatine kinase (p = 0.0025) were associated with higher death rates. The time elapsed during investigations in the emergency room was significantly higher in patients who deceased (p = 0.0023), similarly to the total time from the onset of symptoms to the beginning of surgery (p = 0.0032). Surgical outcomes showed that patients with segmental ischemia of the small bowel had significantly higher chances of survival (p <0.0001). Conclusion: Increased mortality rates in patients presenting in the emergency department for acute mesenteric ischemia were observed in patients with occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery, with higher levels of CK and LDH, as well as with longer periods of stay in the emergency department for diagnostic procedures until the commencement of the surgical intervention. Therefore, proper investigations in a timely manner followed by a specific and prompt surgical intervention may avoid unfavorable evolution of patients towards death.
Standards of Foreign Language Teachers’ Professional Training: Prospects and Foreign Experience
Authors: Sadovets Olesia , Bidyuk Natalya
Published: November 2018

The article deals with an urgent issue of necessity to enhance professional training of future foreign language teachers. It has been substantiated that the only way to assess its quality is to use a set of professional standards. Theoretical substantiation of the standards elaborated by TESOL, as well as their step-by-step process of elaboration, have been studied. These standards served as a model for developing standards of foreign language teachers’ professional training in other countries. On their basis the standards of foreign language teachers’ professional training, as well as indicators of teachers’ performance for each of them, have been formulated as a role model for other countries which pay special attention to foreign language teachers’ training. The main difficulties of the standards implementation have been defined, as well as their possible solutions. One of the most urgent issues raised in the article is the necessity to elaborate a detailed system for assessing teachers’ correspondence to the standards and to adjust the existing training programs to them. Conclusions about productivity and efficiency of the conducted research can only be made after the standards approbation throughout the complete foreign language teachers’ training program that is 4-6 years (depending on the degree - Bachelor or Master). Still, at this stage of our research it is quite clear that one of the possible solutions to the problem of the necessity to elaborate a detailed system for assessing teachers’ correspondence to the standards and to adjust the existing training programs to them is involvement of stakeholders of different levels to elaboration of the standards (from future teachers to educational authorities). The practical value of the presented material is that it can be used by other countries for elaborating their own national standards.

The article deals with the peculiarities of security activities in Ukraine and the USA and, consequently, aims to comparatively analyze professional training of future security and safety specialists in these countries. The author has presented comparative description of future security and safety specialists’ training in Ukraine and the USA. It must be noted that research findings of Ukrainian comparativists on the peculiarities of security specialists’ professional training in the leading European countries are of great significance for the problem under study. Indeed, nowadays quality services can only be provided by those security companies, whose staff are equipped with modern technologies and have undergone relevant professional training. In Ukraine, however, professional training of security specialists should be improved in novel and comprehensive ways. The author has singled out some problematic aspects in professional activities of security specialists. The author concludes that taking into account modern requirements, future security specialists should master the foundations of economic knowledge, have a high level of culture, speak foreign languages, show initiative, be responsible, strive for self-development and self-study, introduce important innovations, acquire the skills of working with modern information and communication technologies that will enhance the quality of security activities. The prospects for further studies involve conducting comparative analysis on professional training of future security and safety specialists in the leading European countries.

Published: November 2018

The problem on ecological training of future natural sciences teachers in Ukrainian and foreign higher education institutions was comparatively analyzed. Novel approaches to ecological education based on the systemic and personality-oriented learning were considered. The forms and methods used to promote ecological education of the individual in Ukraine and abroad were outlined. The studies of individual scholars on the foreign experience in creating an ecologically rational research and educational environment in the UK, Germany, the USA, Moldova and other countries were justified. It was indicated that West European countries created relevant conditions for transforming a model of humanistic education into an eco-humanistic one since it should be considered as a wide-scale educational achievement. It was found that the education process in British universities was targeted at ecological education organization and focused on its practical aspect, namely ecological environment preservation. In the country, there is a national system of ecological education aimed at eliminating the negative effects of the industrialization and the progress of science and technology. The education process in this country employs the forms and methods, which promote ecological education of the individual such as observations, discussions, laboratory work, fieldwork, presentations, etc. In some German universities, considerable attention is paid to regulating the negative changes in nature and mastering the skills for their prevention and elimination. Although there is no a federal standard for ecological education in the USA, it is mandatory in many states and considered not as an abstract phenomenon, but a concrete regional activity. In the country, they also conduct numerous researches on regional ecological problems and actively search for the ways to solve them. It was concluded that the foreign research and educational environment aims to discover the ways to optimize the knowledge of the relationship between man and nature and protect and preserve the environment.

Ukrainian and Foreign Experience in Applying Biographical Method to Study Prominent Figures in Pedagogy
Authors: Samko Alla
Published: November 2018

The article analyzes the term “biographical method”, which consists in the idea of a biography being one’s life journey. Its essence was disclosed through the views of the leading Ukrainian and foreign scholars. The origins of the biographical method as the main tool for studying prominent figures in pedagogy were specified. The article contains the domain-specific classification of biographical sources including autobiographies, biographies, life stories, personal experience stories, surveys and interviews, public and private archival materials, printed and hand-written heritage of authors, memoirs of their contemporaries, etc. Specific attention is paid to the fact that biographical researches can characterize the course of life of a particular figure in pedagogy, the era in which he/she lived and worked, the process of shaping and developing his/her worldview and pedagogical views. Consequently, one can highlight the main stages in the pedagogue’s life, better understand the essence of his/her cultural, educational activities, grasp his/her unique identity, reveal certain patterns in various facts of his/her biography that have caused the emergence and development of particular educational and pedagogical ideas. Based on theoretical analysis of the works by Ukrainian and foreign scholars, it was concluded that the biographical method could determine the influence of society on the development of the individual, his/her life position, values and ideals, different moments of the society’s life at one time period or another, social contexts, rules and norms. It was found that when studying the biographies of prominent figures in pedagogy one should be able to balance the given material on the pedagogue’s activities, the description of his/her works and theoretical analysis and understanding of the trends in the development of his/her views and a reasonable assessment of his/her contributions.

O papel do exercício físico na ativação de células mononucleares do Sistema Imunológico
Authors: Cavalcante Reis Samuel , Andreazzi Duarte Diego
Published: November 2018

Revisar na literatura científica o papel do exercício físico (EF) no sistema imunológico (SI) e os achados sobre a importâncias desse mecanismo na atividade de células mononucleadas. Revisão bibliográfica narrativa que se deu por fundamentação teórica por meio de buscas nas bases de dados científicos Pubmed e Medline. Embora o estresse tenha sido relatado geralmente como imunosupressivo, atualmente tem-se aceitado que isto não é totalmente verdade. Neste contexto, o estresse induzido pelo exercício estimula a capacidade fagocitária de macrófagos e neutrófilos, entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre a influência do exercício físico de curta duração sobre estes parâmetros imunes, especialmente no caso do exercício leve e moderado. Tanto o EF moderado como o intenso podem acrescer diferentes funções dos mononucleados, incluindo a quimiotaxia, a aderência, a produção de superóxido, a taxa de metabolismo do nitrogênio, a atividade citotóxica e a capacidade fagocítica. Apesar dos aspectos multifatoriais e das lacunas ainda existentes, a área de investigação da imunologia do desporto, vem aumentando nos últimos anos. Toda via imunologia do exercício, conta com diversas áreas, porém, ainda não totalmente elucidadas, como por exemplo, o padrão da resposta imunológica do exercício agudo em outros tecidos. No então, várias pesquisas têm demonstrado alterações na concentração e no mecanismo de alguns componentes do SI provocadas pelo EF. As evidências disponíveis permitem concluir, que o EF tem importante efeito modulador sobre a dinâmica de células imunocompetentes, além de constante interação com o Sistema Neuroendócrino.

Graph Theory Approach to High-Throughput Surface Adsorption Structure Generation
Authors: Boes Jacob , Mamun Osman , Winther Kirstin , Bligaard Thomas
Published: November 2018

We present a methodology for graph based enumeration of surfaces and unique chemical adsorption structures bonded to those surfaces. Utilizing the graph produced from a bulk structure, we create a unique graph representation for any general slab cleave and further extend that representation to include a large variety of catalytically relevant adsorbed molecules. We also demonstrate simple geometric procedures to generate 3D initial guesses of these enumerated structures. While generally useful for generating a wide variety of structures used in computational surface science and heterogeneous catalysis, these techniques are also key to facilitating an informatics approach to the high-throughput search for more effective catalysts.
Research on the Financial Maturity of the Yangtze River Economic Belt
Authors: Chen Jingwei , Cheng Chunlin
Published: November 2018

The Yangtze River Economic Belt is a key development project in China, and financial development is the core driving force for economic growth in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. At present, the financial development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is not balanced, and there is an urgent need to quantify the differences in financial development. Drawing on the research of "maturity model" at home and abroad, from the two new perspectives of subjective and objective, the financial development difference is introduced into the maturity model as an organic whole, forming financial maturity and its indicator system, then taking the Yangtze River Economic Belt as the research object, the principal component analysis method is used to calculate the maturity. The results show that the financial development of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has obvious gradient differences both subjectively and objectively. The financial acceptance of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the total financial structure and structure are significantly higher than the middle and upper reaches, while financial efficiency is lower than the middle and upper reaches due to factors such as financial costs. Therefore, the financial development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt needs to improve the systematicness of finance, coordinate the growth of financial volume and structural adjustment, and improve the overall financial operation efficiency.

Published: November 2018

The purpose of this study is to contribute to efforts to measuring and assessing resilience properties of household livelihoods constructed in the risky environments. It provides new insights for assessing vulnerability of household livelihoods and designing resilience building programs in areas of protracted food crisis. Based on resilience theory as applied to social-ecological systems with an application of Modern Portfolio Theory, we adapted and measure the four properties of resilience to livelihood systems and tested the expected relationships between system properties as predicted by resilience theory. Household livelihood systems exhibited the expected pattern of increasing connectivity with increasing wealth (food income). Similarly, household resilience to food insecurity increases with increasing diversity of livelihood options and diversity declines with increasing connectivity of the system. This study confirms the key role of livelihood diversification for improving household resilience to food insecurity at both higher and lower wealth groups of households.
European territorial development and the place based approach: the budgetary dimension of Portugal 2020
Authors: Ferreira Filipe Eduardo Miranda , Catarino João Ricardo
Published: November 2018

Territory has been taken as one of the main dimensions of the process of formulation and implementation of public policies. This article is based on the concept of public policy territorialisation as stated by the IFDR (2010) when referring to the place based approach as the new international paradigm of regional policies. This study aims to describe the possible benefits of these policies in the face of previous regional development European policies (OECD, 2009: 50) and assess, based on the Portuguese case, if there is an effective correspondence between the theoretical framework of place based policies, as they are formulated (Barca, 2009), and the actual implementation of territorial instruments, in the case of Portugal 2020, by mobilizing the budgetary dimension.This study is relevant because the place based policies are changing the formulation mode of territorial development policies in many countries and regions, so it is important to understand associated benefits and risks. In this study, we describe these advantages and elaborate an analysis of the effective correspondence between the formulation and its practical implementation in the European Union, by analysing the Portuguese case (Portugal 2020), from the viewpoint of resources allocated. Naturally, at the heart of European concerns, is the fight against regional imbalances without losing sight of the difficult task of maintaining the financial sustainability of the European budget and achieve fiscal consolidation, particularly in a context of global crisis (Catarino & Alcario, 2016 Catarino, 2015 and Catarino & Fonseca, 2013)It was found that the place based instruments identified in the Portugal 2020 represent 11% (EUR 2 billion to EUR 18 billion) of regionalized funds and 7.6% (EUR 2 billion to EUR 26 billion) of the total received by Portugal. It is concluded that there is no correspondence between the place based formulation of the current territorial development policies cycle of the European Union for the period 2014-2020 and its effective implementation of Portugal 2020. This confirms the hypothesis that there is a dysfunction between theory and practice, not validating the advantages referenced in the scientific literature about the place based policies.
