Authors: Torun Ayfer Alkan , Erdem Halil , Tolay İnci , Torun Mustafa Bülent
Published: December 2017

Çinko (Zn) noksanlığı bitkisel verimi özelliklede kireçli topraklarda yetiştirilen tahılların verimini sınırlandıran önemli bir mineral besin elementi sorunudur. Bu çalışma ekmeklik (BDME-10, Bezostaja), makarnalık (Kızıltan Ç-1252) ve çavdardan (Aslım) oluşan değişik tahıl türlerinin Zn noksanlığına karşı duyarlılıklarıın test edilmesi amacı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sera koşullarında gerçekleştirilen denemede bitkiler iki farklı Zn dozunda (Zn 0 ve Zn 5 mg kg-1) yetiştirilmiştir. Bitkiler 44 günlük iken Zn eksiklik simptomları gözlenmiş ve 1-5 skalasına göre Zn noksanlık şiddeti için gözlem alınmış ve bitkiler hasat edilmiştir. Çinko noksanlık simptom şiddeti bakımından en fazla Ç-1252 (1.0) ve Bezostaja (2.0) çeşitlerinde, en hafif simptom ise Aslım (4.0) ve Kızıltan (3.0) türlerinde görülmüştür. Çinko uygulaması ile yeşil aksam kuru madde verimlerinde belirgin bir artış meydana gelmiş, bu artış en fazla Ç-1252 (%78,8) ve BDME-10 (%52,5) çeşitlerinde görülmüştür. Tahıl türleri ve aynı türün çeşitlerinin Zn noksanlığına büyük ölçüde farklı reaksiyon verdikleri görülmüştür. Makarnalık buğday Zn noksanlığınndan simptomolijik olarak ve kuru madde verimi açısından şiddetli bir şekilde etkilenirken, ekmeklik buğday orta düzeyde etkilenmiş ve en az da çavdarın etkilendiği görülmüştür. Çinko noksanlık simptomlarının şiddeti ve bitki büyümesine göre denemeye konu olan tahılların Zn noksanlığına karşı duyarlılığı ile ilgili Ç1252>BDME-10>Kızıltan>Bezostaya>Aslım şeklinde bir sıralama ortaya çıkmıştır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sulama göletlerinin mevsimsel su kalitesinin değişimlerini belirlemektir. Dört farklı mevsim için Yenice ve Davutköy sulama göletlerinin 3 farklı örnekleme noktasından yüzey suyu örnekleri toplanmıştır. Bu göletlerin su kalitesini belirlemek amacıyla çözünmüş oksijen, pH, tuzluluk, elektriksel iletkenlik, kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı, biyokimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı, amonyum, nitrit, nitrat, fosfat, toplam sertlik, klorür ve sodyum adsorpsiyon oranı (SAR) parametreleri incelenmiştir. Ulusal ve uluslararası su kalite standartlarına göre, fiziko-kimyasal parametreler sınır değerleri sağlamaktadır. ABD tuzluluk diyagramında C1âˆ’S1 sınıfında yer almaktadır. Tuzluluk ve sodyum değerine göre sulama suyu olarak kullanıma uygun olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yenice ve Davutköy göletlerinin mikrobiyal kalitesi için sıcaklığa bağlı olarak mezofil ve psikrofil aerob bakteri oranı belirlenmiştir. Düşük sıcaklıklarda yüksek seviyede psikrofil bakteri belirlenirken yüksek sıcaklıklarda mezofil bakteri sayısı artmaktadır. Psikrofil aerob canlı sayısı (PAC) mevsimlere göre değerlendirildiğinde, sıcaklık artışına bağlı olarak pearson korelasyon analizine göre istatistiksel olarak önemli güçlü negatif korelasyon bulunmuştur (r=-0,635). Fekal kirlilik indikatörü olan E.coli sayısının yaz mevsiminde Davutköy göletine ait istasyonlarda 110 kob/100ml ve 50 kob/100ml olarak belirlenmiştir. Diğer istasyonlarda ise E.coli tespit edilmemiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Yenice ve Davutköy sulama göletlerine ait suların tarımsal aktiviteye uygun olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Published: December 2017

Sunulan bu araştırma Tokat ili ve ilçelerinde yürütülmüştür. Son yıllarda bu bölgede tarımsal faaliyet olarak yapılan bağcılık asma yaprağı yetiştiriciliği üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Bu çalışma ile bağcılık yapan üreticilerin tarım sigortası konusundaki farkındalıkları, sigorta yaptırma eğilimleri, sigorta yaptırma ve yaptırmama gerekçeleri ve konuyla ilgili beklentileri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın ana materyalini anket çalışmasından elde edilen veriler oluşturmaktadır. Belirlenen araştırma alanında, tarım sigortası yaptıran 34 ve yaptırmayan 59 üretici olmak üzere, toplam 93 kişi ile yüz yüze görüşülmüştür. Elde edilen veriler yüzde dağılım çizelgeleri, ortalama, maksimum ve minimum hesaplar yoluyla değerlendirilerek yorumlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, Narince bölgede en yaygın olarak yetiştirilen üzüm çeşididir. Dolu ve don üreticilerin en fazla karşılaştıkları risklerdir. Bölge bağları, doğal afetle karşılaşma sıklığı açısından yüksek riskli grubunda yer almaktadır. Araştırmada, üreticilerin %54,52‘sinin tarım sigortasından haberdar olduğu, %32,25‘sinin üzüm ürününü değişik yıllarda sigortalattığı, %10,75‘inin bugüne kadar hasar ödemesi aldığı belirlenmiştir. Tarım sigortası yaptırmayan üreticiler için, prim ödemede zorlanma ihtimali, hasar ödemelerinin adil ve zamanında yapılacağına duyulan güvensizlik en önemli yaptırmama gerekçeleridir. Üreticilerin yaklaşık %65‘i asma yaprağının sigorta kapsamına alınması halinde, bu ürünü sigorta yaptırabileceğini bildirmiştir.
Spielerkarrieren, Motive und Soziale Netzwerke von Langzeit-Online- RollenspielerInnen in Österreich
Authors: Götzenbrucker Gerit , Köhl Margarita
Published: December 2017

Da in der Computerspieleforschung Studien zu Langzeiteffekten des Spielens fehlen, sind die im vorliegenden Beitrag explorierten Veränderungen im Laufe von Spielerkarrieren (noch) keinen internationalen Forschungsergebnissen gegenu?berzustellen. In einer Studie vor zehn Jahren wurden 40 Online-SpielerInnen zu ihren Spielgewohnheiten, Motiven, Lebensstilen und sozialen Beziehungen mit dem Ergebnis befragt, dass dem Online-Spielen durchaus sozialintegrative Komponenten innewohnen. Es erwies sich als naheliegend, diese SpielerInnen erneut zu befragen, wobei 15 in ein Intensivinterview einwilligten. Wie sich die noch aktiven SpielerInnen ihre Spielzeit einteilen, welche Strategien der Spielausu?bung sie entwickelt haben und wie sich ihre Motivlagen und sozialen Beziehungen verändert haben, scheint dabei ebenso von Interesse fu?r zuku?nftige Studien zu sein, wie Gru?nde fu?r den Ausstieg aus dem Spielalltag.

Performing the Norm
Authors: Siibak Andra
Published: December 2017

Semi-structured interviews (N=21) with young SNS „Rate“ profile owners were carried out in order to analyse the main trends in visual self-presentation strategies that 10-12-year-old Estonians use, and have perceived to be in use by others, on SNS. The aim of the study was to capture the role that the norms and rules of mediated culture, as well as the online peer group, have on the visual self-presentation strategies of the young on online environments. The findings of the study indicate that the youth are well aware of the rules and schemas prevalent in the online environments and form their self-presentation according to these norms of the peer culture. Although the understanding of what is considered „cute” enough to be uploaded on the SNS is in constant flux, the young are very conscious of publishing only the very best images of themselves. Thus, I suggest that the impression management on SNS consists of various strategically calculated acts in order to create a desired persona. A four-staged model of visual impression management used by the pre-teens on SNS is provided.
A profession in defense?
Authors: Groenhart Harmen , Bardoel Jo
Published: December 2017

Letters from the editor-in-chief have both been celebrated and criticized as a potential media accountability instrument. In the light of these divergent qualifications we analyzed corporate accounts in letters from the editor-in-chief in four selected Dutch media, applying Coombs’ defensive-accommodative continuum (2007; 1998) for crisis communication to the news media sector. Content analysis shows that journalistic organizations facing criticism use seven different response strategies, ranging from defensive to accommodative: rejection, refutation, evasion, justification, mitigation, confession and alteration. Although occasionally editors-in-chief admit mistakes, practices and implementation of professional standards remain undisputed. This confirms the ambiguous role of letters from editors-in-chief as a platform for both self criticism and image management.

Manuscritos cervantinos
Authors: Lucía Megías José Manuel
Published: December 2017

El Quijote, y otras obras de Miguel de Cervantes, fueron transmitidas mediante copias manuscritas desde finales del siglo XIX y el siglo XX. Obras únicas, excepcionales, nacidas de la pasión de su creador o para dar respuesta a una demanda de coleccionistas que querían enriquecer sus bibliotecas con estas copias, de gran valor artístico y cultural, que nadie más podía poseer. Uno de los coleccionistas que consiguieron reunir una mayor colección de manuscritos cervantinos fue Juan Sedó Peris-Mencheta, cuya biblioteca actualmente está entre los fondos de la Biblioteca Nacional de España. La abundante correspondencia con Arturo Xalambrí permite conocer detalles sobre su adquisición y el valor que el cervantófilo catalán dio a su colección manuscrita. Una segunda entrega del artículo estará dedicada a los manuscritos cervantinos de Arturo Xalambrí.
La poética de las jaulas en el Quijote
Authors: Parodi Alicia
Published: December 2017

Las jaulas constituyen una serie a lo largo del Quijote. La primera parte (1605) provee, a través de indudables intertextos, el simbolismo teológico. Las jaulas de 1615 subrayan la herramienta constructiva del lenguaje. Cuando llegamos al final, se nos revela la ecuación alegórica, una transfiguración del libro que estamos leyendo.
Una aproximación al discurso "Conquista Espiritual" de Antonio Ruiz de Montoya a través del estudio de las imágenes benévolas
Authors: Pezzuto Marcela
Published: December 2017

En el relato de la fundación de pueblos, de la evangelización y de la defensa de las comunidades de la región del Guayrá, del Paraná, del Uruguay y del Tape se menciona como habitual la convivencia de la geografía humana y natural con seres sobrenaturales. Las misiones jesuíticas, espacios delimitados y diferenciados del «exterior», se muestran para el padre Montoya como el sitio propicio para la interacción del hombre con la divinidad. Allí las presencias celestiales guiarán a los indios a llevar una vida apegada al precepto y a la doctrina y se constituirán en ayudantes de los religiosos. Dichas figuras de «rescate» (entre las que se destaca especialmente la del Apóstol Santo Tomás) aparecen en el relato como instrumento para liberar a los indios del mal, conformando, así, un mensaje esperanzador. Nuestra propuesta se centra en una doble metodología que contempla un estudio lingüístico-estructuralista y, posteriormente, una lectura hermenéutica. El objetivo es revelar en la narración del jesuita la estructura, los actantes, las tensiones nodales y las redes isotópicas para luego reflexionar sobre el contenido semántico del mensaje que manifiesta el estado de cosas propias del universo simbólico de Ruiz de Montoya.
The Influence of Injury Definition on Injury Burden in Preprofessional Ballet and Contemporary Dancers
Authors: Kenny Sarah J. , Palacios-Derflingher Luz , Whittaker Jackie L. , Emery Carolyn A.
Published: December 2017

Study Design

Cohort study.

Background

Multiple operational definitions of injury exist in dance research. The influence that these different injury definitions have on epidemiological estimations of injury burden among dancers warrants investigation.

Objective

To describe the influence of injury definition on injury prevalence, incidence, and severity in preprofessional ballet and contemporary dancers.

Methods

Dancers registered in full-time preprofessional ballet (n = 85; 77 female; median age, 15 years; range, 11–19 years) and contemporary (n = 60; 58 female; median age, 19 years; range, 17–30 years) training completed weekly online questionnaires (modified Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre questionnaire on health problems) using 3 injury definitions: (1) time loss (unable to complete 1 or more classes/rehearsals/performances for 1 or more days beyond onset), (2) medical attention, and (3) any complaint. Physical therapists completed injury report forms to capture dance-related medical attention and time-loss injuries. Percent agreement between injury registration methods was estimated. Injury prevalence (seasonal proportion of dancers injured), incidence rates (count of new injuries per 1000 dance-exposure hours), and severity (total days lost) were examined across each definition, registration method, and dance style.

Results

Questionnaire response rate was 99%. Agreement between registration methods ranged between 59% (time loss) and 74% (injury location). Depending on definition, registration, and dance style, injury prevalence ranged between 9.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.1%, 17.7%; time loss) and 82.4% (95% CI: 72.5%, 89.8%; any complaint), incidence rates between 0.1 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.2; time loss) and 4.9 (95% CI: 4.1, 5.8; any complaint) injuries per 1000 dance-hours, and days lost between 111 and 588 days.

Conclusion

Time-loss and medical-attention injury definitions underestimate the injury burden in preprofessional dancers. Accordingly, injury surveillance methodologies should consider more inclusive injury definitions. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(3):185–193. Epub 13 Dec 2017. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.7542

Published: December 2017

Telah dilakukan penelitian efektivitas sistem penghantaran liposom pada katekin sebagai antioksidan. Liposom dibuat dari fosfatidilkolin yang berasal dari telur dan kolesterol. Metoda liposom yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metoda hidrasi lapis tipis menggunakan rotary evaporator. Liposom dibuat dalam 3 formula yang memiliki perbandingan berbeda antara fosfatidilkolin dan kolesterol. Formula 1 dengan perbandingan 1:1; formula 2 dengan perbandingan 1:2 dan formula 3 dengan perbandingan 2:1. Dari hasil pengamatan dengan SEM terlihat globul-globul liposom berbentuk bola sferis dan ada juga yang lonjong. Efisiensi penjerapan (% EP) didapatkan formula I sebesar 24,49%, Formula II sebesar 24,67% dan formula III sebesar 20,06%. Disini terlihat bahwa semakin meningkatnya kolesterol yang digunakan akan semakin meningkat pula efisiensi penjerapan obat. Pada uji daya antioksidan pada supernatan didapatkan formula II lebih baik dibandingkan formula I dan formula III, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin besar kolesterol maka formulasi liposom akan lebih bagus dan stabil.

Authors: Sari Hendrika Puspita , Windarso Sardjito Eko , Husein Achmad
Published: December 2017

DBD merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat di DIY dan endemis di tiga dari lima kabupa-ten/kota yang ada. Salah satu upaya pengendalian yang dilakukan oleh dinas kesehatan ada-lah fogging, dengan menggunakan bahan aktif, yang salah satunya golongan organofosfat. Penggunaan yang tidak sesuai dari pestisida tersebut  akan dapat menyebabkan keracunan. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui kadar cholinesterase yang dikandung di dalam darah petugas fogging sebagai tanda terjadinya keracunan, dengan melakukan analytical survey mengguna-kan rancangan kohort, terhadap 20 orang petugas di Kabupaten Bantul. Kadar cholinesterase diukur dengan tintometer kit dan cholinesterase kit. Adapun data mengenai variabel-variabel lain yang terkait dengan petugas diperoleh melalui pengamatan langsung maupun data sekun-der. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada saat istirahat, kadar cholinesterase seluruh pe-tugas adalah normal, namun setelah fogging, ada 20 % yang menunjukkan keracunan ringan. Diketahui pula bahwa 50 % petugas berusia antara 41-50 tahun, 45 % tingkat pendidikannya SMA atau sarjana, 75 % sudah lama bekerja, 70 % jarang melakukan fogging, 85 % berperila-ku buruk ketiga melakukan fogging, dan 55 % tidak menggunakan APD secara lengkap. Anali-sis data menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman pada derajat kepercayaan 95 % menyimpulkan bahwa faktor yang signifikan berhubungan dengan kadar cholinesterase adalah frekuensi fog-ging (nilai p = 0,027; dengan koefisien korelasi 0,494 atau hubungan sedang). Adapun variabel-variabel lain yang diteliti tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang bermakna, yaitu: umur (nilai p = 0,715), tingkat pendidikan (nilai p = 0,462), lama kerja (nilai p = 1,000), perilaku fogging (nilai p = 0,374), dan kelengkapan APD (nilai p = 0,447).

Musculokeletal disorders is a pain at parts of skeletal muscles felt by a person which is caused by various factors, either internal or external. Musculoskeletal disorders is a common health pro-blem found in industrial sectors, included in the informal ones, such as in laundry business. Iron-ing process in laundry activities takes long duration and is a monotonous work. Many workers experiencing pain in their skeletal muscle after ironing, of which ergonomic factor is considered as one of the causes. Therefore, the research was intended to study about the application of er-gonomic chair in reducing the musculoskeletal disorders among laundry workers in Yogyakarta city by conducting a true experiment with pre-test post-test with control group design. As the study subjects were 30 ironing workers taken from 30 laundry services selected as the sample. They were then divided equally into two groups, i.e. 15 were allocated both in the treatment and the control groups. Proportional cluster random technique was used in the sampling process. The measurement of musculoskeletal pain employed a 15 item questionnaire based on the Nor-dic Body Map questionnaire. The data then were analyzed by using Mann-Whytney test with α=0,05 and obtained a p-value of 0,0001 which shows that the pain difference between the control and the treatment groups was significant. In the treatment group, after using the ergo-nomic chairs, the pain was felt decrease at waist, back, left hand and left foot; meanwhile in the control group, the measurement results in pre-test and post-test were similar. Based on the results, it is advised that coordination between the Licensing Office and laundry owners is need-ed to provide ergonomic chairs for the workers to work comfortably and to avoid the muscular skeletal disorders. For further studies it is recommended to consider nutritional status, psycho-logical state and workload of the workers when applying the ergonomic chairs.

Published: December 2017

Itik sebagai penghasil daging di Indonesia, menurut data statistik tahun 2010 perannya masih rendah, yaitu hanya dapat memenuhi 44,75 % dari kebutuhan 14,3 ribu ton. Sementara itu, lim-bah kulit udang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan tambahan bagi pakan itik. Penelitian ini ber-tujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan tepung kulit udang (dengan variasi 0 % sebagai kontrol, 10 %,12 % dan 14 %) dalam pakan terhadap pertumbuhan berat itik pedaging. Pene-litian yang dilakukan di Dusun Jarakan, Desa Ceporan, Kecamatan Gantiwarno, Kabupaten Kla-ten ini adalah eksperimen semu dengan rancangan pre-test post-test with control group. Obyek penelitian yang digunakan adalah 60 ekor itik pedaging yang berumur 0-5 hari, sementara lim-bah kulit udang diperoleh dari rumah makan di Rawa Jimbung. Masing-masing campuran pakan diberikan kepada 15 ekor itik yang ditaruh dalam kandang yang berbeda, sebanyak 150 gr/ming-gu/ekor dengan frekuensi dua kali per hari. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji One Way Anava dengan α = 0,05. Hasil analisis menghasilkan nilai p lebih kecil dari 0,001 yang berarti bahwa perbedaan peningkatan berat itik di antara variasi pakan memang bermakna, sehingga dapat di-interpretasikan bahwa variasi konsentrasi tepung kulit udang sebagai bahan tambahan mem-pengaruhi berat itik pedaging. Dengan uji lanjutan LSD dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemanfaatan 14 % tepung kulit udang di dalam pakan merupakan konsentrasi yang paling efektif
DE RELIGIÃO E LIBERDADE NA FILOSOFIA DE RAWLS
Authors: Cavalcante Ronaldo
Published: December 2017

A liberdade como conquista ocidental, tem suas raízes na Reforma Protestante, que segundo John Rawls, foi um acontecimento que gerou uma cultura de pluralismo, quebrando uma hegemonia medieval e abrindo as possibilidades de uma cultura de liberdade, como parte da construção de uma sociedade mais justa. As posições liberais de Rawls revelam a articulação entre a laicidade do Estado e a consideração de posições morais, religiosas e filosóficas como parte da construção da nova sociedade democrática com ênfase tanto na tolerância quanto no pluralismo e por isso mesmo de um equilíbrio entre o espírito liberal de proteção da res publica e as ações de índole privada.

Authors: Shrestha L.
Published: December 2017

Aim: To investigate the role of white matter integrity in the pathophysiology of tinnitus, and also to analyze the whole brain for white matter changes quantitatively by comparing tinnitus patients with healthy controls based on the affected side of the tinnitus using Tract Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS).Methods: Total of 41 right-handed tinnitus patients and 35 age-matched right-handed healthy controls were initially examined non-invasively in resting-state using the 3.0T MRI scanner. We obtained the estimated Fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), Axial Diffusivity (AD), Radial Diffusivity (RD), and Mode of Anisotropy (MO) data for each subject. TBSS was used to perform group statistical analysis of DTI data from each group.Results: Compared to controls in right-sided tinnitus patients, FA and MO were decreased, and MD was normal with decreased AD and increased RD. FA and AD showed similar decreased values (t>1.5, FWEcorrected P<0.05) in the right corticospinal tract, right superior longitudinal fasciculus, and right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus. Compared to controls with left-sided tinnitus patients, FA and MO were decreased, and MD was also increased with decreased AD with increased RD in patients. MO showed significantly decreased values (t>1.5, FWEcorrected P<0.05) of MO in Forceps major, bilateral cingulum (especially the left), and bilateral anterior thalamic radiation. Bilaterally affected tinnitus patients showed no difference when compared to controls.Conclusion: After analyzing the whole brain for white matter changes quantitatively using TBSS, changes were observed in unilaterally affected tinnitus patients compared to controls. Our findings indicated cross-modal plasticity could have caused changes in somatosensory, audio-visual, limbic, and attention pathways.Nepal Journal of Radiology Vol.5(1-2) 2015: 1-12

Authors: Nai Wei , Liu Lu , Wang Shaoyin , Dong Decun
Published: December 2017

The ever-increasing air traffic demand in China has brought huge pressure on the planning and management of, and investment in, air terminals as well as airline companies. In this context, accurate and adequate short-term air traffic forecasting is essential for the operations of those entities. In consideration of such a problem, a hybrid air traffic forecasting model based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and seasonal auto regressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) has been proposed in this paper. The model proposed decomposes the original time series into components at first, and models each component with the SARIMA forecasting model, then integrates all the models together to form the final combined forecast result. By using the monthly air cargo and passenger flow data from the years 2006 to 2014 available at the official website of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the effectiveness in forecasting of the model proposed has been demonstrated, and by a horizontal performance comparison between several other widely used forecasting models, the advantage of the proposed model has also been proved.

Decoctions and macerations of the stem bark and wood of Terminalia brownii Fresen. are used in traditional medicine for fungal infections and as fungicides on field crops and in traditional granaries in Sudan. In addition, T. brownii water extracts are commonly used as sprays for protecting wooden houses and furniture. Therefore, using agar disc diffusion and macrodilution methods, eight extracts of various polarities from the stem wood and bark were screened for their growth-inhibitory effects against filamentous fungi commonly causing fruit, vegetable, grain and wood decay, as well as infections in the immunocompromised host. Ethyl acetate extracts of the stem wood and bark gave the best antifungal activities, with MIC values of 250 µg/mL against Nattrassia mangiferae and Fusarium verticillioides, and 500 µg/mL against Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. Aqueous extracts gave almost as potent effects as the ethyl acetate extracts against the Aspergillus and Fusarium strains, and were slightly more active than the ethyl acetate extracts against Nattrassia mangiferae. Thin layer chromatography, RP-HPLC-DAD and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), were employed to identify the chemical constituents in the ethyl acetate fractions of the stem bark and wood. The stem bark and wood were found to have a similar qualitative composition of polyphenols and triterpenoids, but differed quantitatively from each other. The stilbene derivatives, cis- (3) and trans- resveratrol-3-O-β-galloylglucoside (4), were identified for the first time in T. brownii. Moreover, methyl-(S)-flavogallonate (5), quercetin-7-β-O-di-glucoside (8), quercetin-7-O-galloyl-glucoside (10), naringenin-4′-methoxy-7-pyranoside (7), 5,6-dihydroxy-3′,4′,7-tri-methoxy flavone (12), gallagic acid dilactone (terminalin) (6), a corilagin derivative (9) and two oleanane type triterpenoids (1) and (2) were characterized. The flavonoids, a corilagin derivative and terminalin, have not been identified before in T. brownii. We reported earlier on the occurrence of methyl-S-flavogallonate and its isomer in the roots of T. brownii, but this is the first report on their occurrence in the stem wood as well. Our results justify the traditional uses of macerations and decoctions of T. brownii stem wood and bark for crop and wood protection and demonstrate that standardized extracts could have uses for the eco-friendly control of plant pathogenic fungi in African agroforestry systems. Likewise, our results justify the traditional uses of these preparations for the treatment of skin infections caused by filamentous fungi.

High antibiotic prescribing and antimicrobial resistance in patients attending primary care have been reported in South America. Very few interventions targeting general practitioners (GPs) to decrease inappropriate antibiotic prescribing have been investigated in this region. This study assessed the effectiveness of online feedback on reducing antibiotic prescribing in patients with suspected respiratory tract infections (RTIs) attending primary care. The aim was to reduce antibiotic prescribing in patients with acute bronchitis and acute otitis media. Both are RTIs for which antibiotics have a very limited effect. A cluster randomized two-arm control trial was implemented. Healthcare centres from Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay participating in the quality improvement program HAPPY AUDIT were randomly allocated to either intervention or control group. During ten consecutive weeks, GPs in the intervention group received evidence-based online feedback on the management of suspected RTIs. In patients with acute bronchitis, the intervention reduced the antibiotic prescribing rate from 71.6% to 56% (control group from 61.2% to 52%). In patients with acute otitis media, the intervention reduced the antibiotic prescribing from 94.8% to 86.2% (no change in the control group). In all RTIs, the intervention reduced antibiotic prescribing rate from 37.4% to 28.1% (control group from 29% to 27.2%). Online evidence-based feedback is effective for reducing antibiotic prescribing in patients with RTIs attending primary care in South America.
An Unsupervised Method of Change Detection in Multi-Temporal PolSAR Data Using a Test Statistic and an Improved K&I Algorithm

Published: December 2017

In recent years, multi-temporal imagery from spaceborne sensors has provided a fast and practical means for surveying and assessing changes in terrain surfaces. Owing to the all-weather imaging capability, polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) has become a key tool for change detection. Change detection methods include both unsupervised and supervised methods. Supervised change detection, which needs some human intervention, is generally ineffective and impractical. Due to this limitation, unsupervised methods are widely used in change detection. The traditional unsupervised methods only use a part of the polarization information, and the required thresholding algorithms are independent of the multi-temporal data, which results in the change detection map being ineffective and inaccurate. To solve these problems, a novel method of change detection using a test statistic based on the likelihood ratio test and the improved Kittler and Illingworth (K&I) minimum-error thresholding algorithm is introduced in this paper. The test statistic is used to generate the comparison image (CI) of the multi-temporal PolSAR images, and improved K&I using a generalized Gaussian model simulates the distribution of the CI. As a result of these advantages, we can obtain the change detection map using an optimum threshold. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by the use of multi-temporal PolSAR images acquired by RADARSAT-2 over Wuhan, China. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and highly accurate.

A mini-ridge filter is often used to widen the Bragg peak in the longitudinal direction at low energies but not high energies. To facilitate the clinical use of a mini-ridge filter, we performed a planning study for the feasibility of a mini-ridge filter as an integral part of the synchrotron nozzle (IMRF). Dose models with and without IMRF were commissioned in a commercial Treatment planning system (TPS). Dosimetric characteristics in a homogenous water phantom were compared between plans with and without IMRF for a fixed spread-out Bragg peak width of 4 cm with distal ranges varying from 8 to 30 g/cm2. Six clinical cases were then used to compare the plan quality between plans. The delivery efficiency was also compared between plans in both the phantom and the clinical cases. The Bragg peak width was increased by 0.18 cm at the lowest energy and by only about 0.04 cm at the highest energy. The IMRF increased the spot size (σ) by up to 0.1 cm at the lowest energy and by only 0.02 cm at the highest energy. For the phantom, the IMRF negligibly affected dose at high energies but increased the lateral penumbra by up to 0.12 cm and the distal penumbra by up to 0.06 cm at low energies. For the clinical cases, the IMRF slightly increased dose to the organs at risk. However, the beam delivery time was reduced from 18.5% to 47.1% for the lung, brain, scalp, and head and neck cases, and dose uniformities of target were improved up to 2.9% for these cases owing to the reduced minimum monitor unit effect. In conclusion, integrating a mini-ridge filter into a synchrotron nozzle is feasible for improving treatment efficiency without significantly sacrificing the plan quality.
