Published: June 2019

Background: Because of the unexpected and often dramatic inhibition of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion related with the usage of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-antagonist, there has been a probable need for exogenous LH supplementation. There is a basic and clinical evidences that show late development of follicle needs an LH but there is a threshold for LH requirements during folliculogenesis.Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in serum LH and the identification of patients who benefit from the addition of LH.Materials and Methods: Seventy volunteers for antagonist protocol in IVF cycle were enrolled in this prospective cross-sectional study. The study was carried out in Reproductive Health Research Center, University of Medical Sciences between July 2016 and February 2016. Serum LH level was estimated 24 h before and after the first(GnRH) antagonist injection. The primary outcome was the serum level of LH and its change in the three groups and the secondary outcome was Egg and Embryo quality.Results: LH changes above or below 50% had no effect on the number of follicle, the number of oocyte, Germinal vesicle oocyte, metaphase 1 oocyte, metaphase 2 oocyte, endometrial thickness, and chemical and clinical pregnancy.Conclusion: We evaluated the changes of serum LH in the patients who were entered in the antagonist protocol. Our study showed no significant difference in LH levels 24h before and after the injection of the antagonist between the three groups, and LH changes did not affect the outcome of pregnancy.

Authors: Fallahzadeh Reza Ali , Almodaresi Seyed Ali , Ghadirian Davoud , Fattahi Ahmad , Homayoni bezi Nasrin
Published: June 2019

Introduction:  Several diseases, especially in infants such as some cancer and blue baby are related to the presence of nitrate in drinking water. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specified the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of nitrate as 50 mg L-1 for regulated public water systems. This study aimed to evaluate the concentration of nitrate and to assess its probabilistic risk exposure in drinking water wells of Abarkouh city, Iran.
Materials and Methods:  The average annual nitrate level was studied from 18 wells around Abarkouh in 2017. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) was also investigated as health risk assessment and sensitivity analysis was carried out for effective variables.
Results: Average concentration of nitrate was 27.57 ± 6.80 mg L-1 and all measured concentrations were below the permitted maximum standard (50 mg L-1) according to the National Standard of Iran. The HQ value for children and adults were more than 1 (1.81) and less than 1, respectively. In calculating HQ for children, the most important variable was the concentration of nitrate in drinking water.
Conclusion: According to the results, children health is highly at risk in these areas and exposure to nitrate should be reduced for at-risk populations

Published: June 2019

Introduction: Nowadays, the appropriate selection of environmental instruments is considered a political priority in most countries. Given that one of the most important environmental tools in recent years to counteract industrial pollution has been levying green tax on polluting industries, the present study aims to identify interactive factors affecting the enforcement of green taxes between executive agencies [Department of Environment and Administration of Economic and Finance] and industries to reduce pollution.
Materials and Methods: In this qualitative study, 13 participants from the DOE, MEFA and Deputy of Industries’ Affairs of Yazd were selected by purposive and snowball sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and then analyzed in the MAXQDA10 software by content analysis method.
Results: From our data analysis, two main categories executive organizations and industries were drawn, which included 8 sub-categories tax justice, tax culture development, tax determination and tax collection, weak tax systems, tax laws, tax penalties, tax incentives and adoption of an environmental framework by the industry.
Conclusion: Reforming the environmental laws, approaches and policies, emphasizing education to develop the culture of tax payment, avoiding unilateralism in enforcing environmental policies and enhancing incentive policies seem essential.

Published: June 2019

Background and Purpose: Changing the physical activity pattern is an important factor in reducing mortality and increasing longevity. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of educational intervention on physical activity of elderly people.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 80 elderly people from two rural health centers in Ghaemshahr city were selected and assigned to intervention (n=40) and control (n=40) groups. The elderly in the intervention group received 4 training sessions of 30 to 45 minutes in a month, while the control group did not receive such training. Before and one month after the intervention, Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) questionnaire was completed by both groups. The collected data were analyzed using chi square, paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test and ANCOVA.
Results: The mean total score of RAPA, before intervention, in the control group was significantly higher than the intervention group (P = 0.017). However, after the intervention, the mean total score in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (P <0.001).  One month after the intervention, the mean of the RAPA score in the intervention group significantly changed from 2.1 to 4.95 (P <0.001), however, the mean change in the RAPA score in the control group (from 2.4 to 2.5) was not significant (P = 0.352).
Conclusion: Given the effect of educational intervention on the physical activity of the elderly, the design of such educational interventions is recommended.

Background and purpose: Bioaerosols enter into human body through various ways (inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption). The aim of this study was to investigate the type and density of the predominant bacteria in two seasons - cold and warm - in the kitchen air of restaurants.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on the air of restaurants' kitchen in Babol. Sampling was performed by using a personal sampling pump with impinger tank using a flow rate of 4 l/min during 50 minutes. Counting the colonies in the air was determined in terms of CFU/m3 and the type of grown bacteria was identified using different tests, such as Gram staining and biochemical methods. Temperature and humidity were recorded at the time of sampling, too. Totally, 120 samples of bacteria were taken from the indoor air of kitchens with and without air conditioning.
Results: The results showed that the highest and lowest densities of bacteria in cold season were 15 CFU/m3 and 63.7 CFU/m3, and in warm season, they were 19.6 CFU/m3 and 80 CFU/m3, respectively. The predominant bacteria were Gram-positive bacteria in the air of kitchen but Bacillus and Micrococcus were the most frequent.
Conclusion: The results showed that due to humidity and the temperature (warmer), bacterial density was higher in summer than winter. The concentration of bacteria in the kitchen and restaurant was also less than WHO recommendation and guide values ACGIH (up to 500 CFU/m3), respectively. So, air quality was found to be good and acceptable in terms of the restaurant kitchen.

Published: June 2019

Este artículo analiza el comercio exterior colombiano para determinar por qué los resultados de la apertura no han sido satisfactorios frente a los propósitos que la impulsaron. Se plantea como hipótesis que el modelo de desarrollo está sujeto a dicha política y que la liberalización comercial no ha motivado el desarrollo de sectores que agreguen valor. Finalmente, mediante la teoría de los ciclos políticos, se sugiere que la economía colombiana puede estar atrapada en una trampa de dependencia económica internacional a la que ha contribuido la dirigencia política del país.

Authors: Coss Peter
Published: June 2019

PICO question

In dogs, what is the sensitivity and specificity of using ultrasound as a diagnostic test to identify meniscal damage?

Clinical bottom line

Although there are limited studies assessing the accuracy of ultrasound for detecting meniscal damage, it appears to be a potentially useful diagnostic test with reported sensitivity varying from 82–95% and specificity from 82–93% when compared to arthroscopy or arthrotomy findings. Experience of the ultrasonographer is also likely to be an important factor to consider.

Authors: Girsang Bina Melvia
Published: June 2019

Women who do early detection of breast cancer can be said to be still a little. Though the importance of breast examination since early is to know a woman's breasts under normal circumstances or not. This study aims to determine the proportion of several specific factors that cause the risk of breast cancer incidence in women aged 25-65 years with an observational analytic method with case control design. Sampling is done by using probability sampling with simple random sampling technique approach. The sample size was 23 women in the case group and 46 women in the control group in the working area of Gandus and Dempo, South Sumatera â€“ Palembang sub-districts from May to September 2017. Screening data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed by bivariate analysis using chi square and fisher's exact statistical tests, continued with multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression statistic test. Based on the results of bivariate analysis found that there are 7 specific risk factors from the overall 15 related factors (p value <0.05) with risk factors for breast cancer incidence. The seven specific risk factors were age (OR: 0.6, 95% CI: 0.53-0.79), first menstrual period (OR: 24; 95% CI: 2.76-207.98), history of tumor (OR: 3.2, 95% CI: 2.28-4.75), long breastfeeding (OR : 95% CI: 2.23-4.54), consumption of fatty foods (OR: 0.2; 95% CI: 0.07-1.00), types of hormonal contraceptives (p value <0 , 05). The result of multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regression was found that menstrual age was the specific factor of a person detected at risk of breast cancer (p value 0.05-0.55) is very important because most women are not aware of breast cancer symptoms and risk factors that are difficult to handle.

Silicon and Iron as Resource-Efficient Anode Materials for Ambient-Temperature Metal-Air Batteries: A Review
Authors: Weinrich Henning , Durmus Yasin Emre , Tempel Hermann , Kungl Hans , Eichel Rüdiger-A.
Published: June 2019

Abstract: Metal-air batteries provide a most promising battery technology given their outstanding potential energy densities, which are desirable for both stationary and mobile applications in a ‘beyond lithium-ion’ battery market. Silicon- and iron-air batteries underwent less research and development compared to lithium- and zinc-air batteries. Nevertheless, in the recent past, the two also-ran battery systems made considerable progress and attracted rising research interest due to the excellent resource-efficiency of silicon and iron. Silicon and iron are among the top five of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust, which ensures almost infinite material supply of the anode materials, even for large scale applications. Furthermore, primary silicon-air batteries are set to provide one of the highest energy densities among all batteries, while iron-air batteries are frequently considered as a highly rechargeable system with decent performance characteristics. Considering fundamental aspects for the anode materials, i.e., the metal electrodes, in this review, we will first outline the challenges, which explicitly apply to silicon- and iron-air batteries and prevented them from a broad implementation so far. Afterwards, we provide an extensive literature survey regarding state-of-the-art experimental approaches, which are set to resolve the aforementioned challenges and might enable the introduction of silicon- and iron-air batteries into the battery market in the future.

Published: June 2019

Introduction and objectives: a close association between metabolic syndrome among subjects with erectile dysfunction has been addressed, since mechanisms underlying metabolic syndrome compromise the blood flow to the penis in numerous ways. This study aims to analyze the relationship between erectile dysfunction and metabolic syndrome in a group of Mexican patients, to study the influence of other morbidity factors on erectile dysfunction, and to define the specific metabolic syndrome components most associated with erectile dysfunction severity. Methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was completed in a group of 86 adult Mexican patients with previous diagnosis of erectile dysfunction. Participants were classified as with or without metabolic syndrome. Erectile dysfunction severity, alcohol or tobacco consumption, and depressive behavior were identified through validated questionnaires and compared between both groups, as well as anthropometric, biochemical, and clinical parameters. Results: anthropometric measures, laboratory values, clinical characteristics and the Beck Depression Inventory score were significantly different among both groups. Additionally, more patients affected by severe and moderate erectile dysfunction were identified in the group with metabolic syndrome. Among the metabolic syndrome components, HbA1c >5.7% and fasting glucose >110 mg/dl were significantly associated to the development of erectile dysfunction (p = 0.004 and 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: metabolic syndrome components aggravate erectile dysfunction, particularly the lack of glycemic control manifested by Hb1Ac >5.7% and/or fasting glucose >110 mg/dL. The inclusion of fasting glucose and HbA1c as a complementary biochemical screening among patients with erectile dysfunction should be assessed.

Published: June 2019

Embora o direito fundamental à educação de qualidade seja garantido pela Constituição da República de 1988, ele está distante de ser alcançado no Brasil. E um dos principais motivos que justificam a baixa qualidade no ensino fundamenta-se na precária infraestrutura do sistema público educacional.  Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo averiguar se a gestão da infraestrutura da rede pública de educação pode ser exercida em parceria com o setor privado, especificamente, por meio da celebração dos contratos de concessão previstos na Lei Federal 11.079/04. A partir da utilização da técnica investigativo-bibliográfica, analisar-se-á o preceito constitucional do direito educação, sob o enfoque da multifuncionalidade dos direitos fundamentais, quais os efeitos que dele decorrem. Em um segundo momento, serão apresentadas as características dos contratos de concessões inseridos pela Lei 11.079/04. Após, realizar-se-á cotejo entre as características apresentadas e a obrigatoriedade de a Administração promover adequadamente, sob o viés organizacional, a educação da rede pública de ensino, demonstrando-se a viabilidade jurídica de se desenvolver a infraestrutura educacional por meio de contratos de concessão administrativa.

A proteção do consumidor como princípio da ordem econômica na Constituição de 1988
Authors: Rocha Ana Claudia Loyola da , Castro Rodrigo Pironti Aguirre de
Published: June 2019

Resumo: Com os preceitos liberais conferidos às contratações ao longo dos séculos XIX e XX e com os princípios do capitalismo reinando sem qualquer sorte de restrição, as contratações tornaram-se desequilibradas, demandando a intervenção do Estado. A tutela dos consumidores, até então exercida pelo Código Civil de 1916, diploma que tinha por premissa o equilíbrio entre as partes contratantes nas relações jurídicas entabuladas, mostrava-se inócua. Por meio da Constituição Federal de 1988, o Estado, portanto, a fim de restabelecer a comutatividade contratual, passou a disciplinar as relações privadas, a infligir a observância da boa-fé contratual, o respeito à dignidade humana e a atenção à função social dos contratos. A proteção do consumidor foi então visualizada pela primeira vez na Constituição Federal de 1988, que a inseriu dentre as garantias fundamentais e a erigiu à categoria de princípio da ordem econômica. Somente, pois, com a promulgação da Constituição Federal, é que foram reconhecidas expressamente a vulnerabilidade do consumidor nas relações de consumo e a premente necessidade de elaboração de um código dedicado especificamente à sua proteção. O Código de Defesa do Consumidor, instituído por expressa determinação constitucional, passou,mediante regras e princípios norteadores, não só a disciplinar as relações de consumo como também a restabelecer o equilíbrio dessa sorte de relação jurídica. Diante do avanço conquistado desde a promulgação da Lei nº 8.078/90, é possível dizer que o diploma consumerista está em plena consonância com os objetivos trazidos pela Constituição Federal de 1988 e tem efetivamente realizado os ideais constitucionais de justiça social.

The early impact of initiatives to close attainment gaps at UCL
Authors: Duhs Rosalind Mary , Evans Julie , Williams Paulette , Chaudhury Parama
Published: June 2019

This article provides an overview of core aspects of efforts to close the black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) attainment gap across University College London (UCL). Although the main ‘Catalyst Student Success’ project focuses on home undergraduate students, at UCL we are also using similar approaches to enhance inclusivity in postgraduate courses. The focus in this paper is nevertheless on undergraduates. The detailed use of student attainment data by the UCL Centre for Teaching and Learning Economics is outlined and discussed to underpin the introduction of the use of UCL’s ‘Inclusive Curriculum Health Check’ (ICHC) – UCL BAME Attainment Project 2018 – as a framework for the initiatives taken by departments. A table with the initial responses from the departments in one faculty is presented and selected points are discussed. The value and potential of the initiatives recommended through the ICHC are explored in a table which links systematic review evidence (Schneider and Preckel, 2017) to the ICHC. Staff actions in partnership with students are designed primarily to have a positive impact on the experience and outcomes of BAME students, but the research evidence suggests that favourable effects will accrue for all students.
Developing a BME Student Advocate Programme
Authors: Barefoot Helen Catherine , Boons Cage
Published: June 2019

In 2017-18 the University of Hertfordshire designed and implemented a BME Student Advocate programme to support an institutional objective to reduce the attainment gap. Working in partnership with Hertfordshire Students’ Union, ten advocates were appointed to work with each of the academic schools. The BME student advocates carried our different activities depending on the needs of their academic school. Activities included; holding focus groups with BME students; representation of BME students at school meetings; the challenge of assumptions of staff members; critique of curricula and the promotion of race equality. Benefits for staff members included; having an advocate to discuss inclusive practice ideas with; receiving feedback about BME student experiences; being challenged on assumptions; forming student-staff partnerships. The work of the advocates was highly valued by staff within the university and recognising the impact of their work, the university has fully funded the programme for the next academic year.
How did the work impact me? Reflections of the researchers and facilitators of BME success projects
Authors: Barefoot Helen Catherine , Ghann Nathan , St John Judy , Yip Amanda

Programme leaders and members of programme teams attended inclusive teaching workshops focused on race equality. After the workshops, programme leaders were interviewed to discuss how they were going to implement inclusive practice enhancements. The core team who facilitated the workshops and conducted the interviews reflected on their experiences of leading change associated with reducing the BME attainment gap. Considering a critical incident which they’d experienced during the workshop or during the interviews, they each wrote personal narratives to explore emotions which the incident had stimulated as well as consideration of how they’d responded at the time and what they could have done differently. The four narratives were considered to identify key themes. Two common themes identified were the stimulation of negative emotions (e.g. anger) and the inability to challenge comments and stereotyping assumptions at the time of the incident. Considering the results in light of literature associated with staff development, the use of personal narrative and leading diversity related change, in addition to autoethnographical thoughts associated with the authors’ own experiences of race, racism and privilege, five recommendations for colleagues involved in race-related staff development were identified.
From Local to Institutional Attainment Change: scaling-up local initiatives
Authors: Gravestock Phil , Cureton Debra
Published: June 2019

Ethnicity-based gaps in degree outcomes are a pervasive sector issue. At the University of Wolverhampton, substantial investments have been made a) to fund research into why the outcomes gap occurs, the better to understand it, and then b) to implement and evaluate initiatives to reduce it. However, upscaling smaller initiatives to university-wide actions can be fraught with issues. This case study will provide a synthesis of the research carried out at Wolverhampton and the ways this was used as an evidence-base to inform institutional change. The study will also consider some of the lessons learnt from our attempts to embed the outcomes into institutional ‘business as usual’.
