Authors: Purnomo SF. Luthfie Arguby
Published: April 2018

This paper, first of three research parts, attempts to describe the challenges English Letters at IAIN (Institut Agama Islam Negeri/State Islamic Institute) Surakarta faced in implementing gamification for technopreneurial purposes in regard to the transformation of a creative writing class into a ludic writing class, a gamification infused writing class. The challenges revealed are story-game script adaptation, integration portion, and monetization. Specific problems occur on each challenge. Story-game script adaptation exposes three problems namely (1) conditional branching system (2) visualization (3) copyrighted material issues (4) and writing mechanics adaptation. Integration portion challenge displays a problem on the insufficient alloted time for gamifying the creative writing class. Monetization challenge indicates three problems namely (1) the inexistence of monetization team, (2) the inexistence of institutional regulation for monetization management by study programs, (3) responses to gaming trends. Responding to these problems, solutions specifically designed based on the nature of the problems are implemented.

The Strange Case of Billy Biswas: Two conflicting realities
Authors: Anupama Bikki , Ram Mantri Venkata Raghu
Published: April 2018

Arun Joshi presents socio-cultural conflicts between two different societies. One society is material driven and backed by the modern state apparatus like police, courts, etc. while the other is subsistence driven and is at the bottom in the hierarchy of the modern state. Indian tribal societies have been exploited right from the colonial period into the post-independence times. These two societies differ as follows: the tribal society lives on subsistence looks at Nature as a space for socio-economic, political, cultural and community, while the urban materialistic world perceives Nature as a resource to be exploited. This primordial difference has manifested as a socio-cultural conflict between these two societies. This may be due to the mutually exclusive and incorrigible nature of their social constructs which trigger perceptual obfuscation of symbiotic living.  What appears to be an objective reality for one appears as subjective to the other and vice versa. This paper studies the strangeness of Billy Biswas, the protagonist of the novel in the socio-cultural milieu of conflicting realities.

Authors: Basra Sri Meiweni , Purnawarman Pupung
Published: April 2018

This research investigated whether the 2013 curriculum English electronic book (e-book) ‘Think Globally Act Locally’ was categorized as a good quality e-book and how the e-book represented the criteria of a good quality e-book. By using the principle of qualitative research, a criteria checklist was used as the research instrument. The result showed that the e-book met 59% out of 66 criteria of a good quality e-book. The strengths of the e-book were in terms of the relation between the content provided and students’ real-life situation, amount of exposure of speaking skills and grammar, and its appealing physical appearance. However, drawbacks such as failures to promote target culture learning, to expose language skills and sub-skills equally and to accommodate supplementary materials and digital features were found. The findings of the research showed that improvements toward the e-book should be made. Hopefully, this research provides insights for e-book writers to create more improved e-books by meeting the criteria of a good e-book and for English teachers to be effective in using learning materials.
A Semantic Multi-Field Clinical Search for Patient Medical Records
Authors: Vasanthakumar E Umamaheswari , Bond Francis
Published: April 2018

A semantic-based search engine for clinical data would be a substantial aid for hospitals to provide support for clinical practitioners. Since electronic medical records of patients contain a variety of information, there is a need to extract meaningful patterns from the Patient Medical Records (PMR). The proposed work matches patients to relevant clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) by matching their medical records with the CPGs. However in both PMR and CPG, the information pertaining to symptoms, diseases, diagnosis procedures and medicines is not structured and there is a need to pre-process and index the information in a meaningful way. In order to reduce manual effort to match to the clinical guidelines, this work automatically extracts the clinical guidelines from the PDF documents using a set of regular expression rules and indexes them with a multi-field index using Lucene. We have attempted a multi-field Lucene search and ontology-based advanced search, where the PMR is mapped to SNOMED core subset to find the important concepts. We found that the ontology-based search engine gave more meaningful results for specific queries when compared to term based search.
Conodonts and ostracodes from the late Tournaisian bathyal sequence of the Polar Urals
Authors: Zhuravlev Andrey V. , Sobolev Dmitriy B.
Published: April 2018

Early Carboniferous (late Tournaisian) conodonts, recovered from siliceous shales and silicites of the Nyan- Vorga Formation within the Lemva tectonic belt of the Polar Urals (Russia), include the biostratigraphically important taxa Siphonodella lanei, Gnathodus typicus, Dollymae hassi, and Scaliognathus anchoralis, marking the following conodont zones of the upper Tournaisian: crenulata, typicus, and anchoralis. Associated species include representatives of genera Siphonodella, Polygnathus, Pseudopolygnathus, Dollymae, Gnathodus, Kladognathus, and Idioprioniodus. These conodont faunas provide the first biostratigraphically constrained correlations between bathyal deposits of the Lemva Allochthone in the Polar Urals and the “standard” conodont zonation. Ostracodes found in the silicite of the typicus Zone are represented by Sagittibythere ? sp. and Tricornina (Bohemia) sp. The ostracodes are reported from the bathyal deposits of Urals for a first time. The traces of the global Mid-Aikuanian Event are recognized in the upper part of the Tournaisian bathyal succession. This event led to turnover in conodont associations and is followed by increasing in conodont diversity.
Trophic Status of Blidinje Lake (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Based on the Determination of the Trophic State Index (TSI)
Authors: Ivanković Anita , Ćosić Nikolina , Knezović Zrinka , Vasilj Višnja
Published: April 2018

Blidinje lake is an integral part of the Nature Park Blidinje established in 1995. Blidinje lake is largest mountain lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) according to the surface and water supplies. Considering the surface, it is surprising to its low depth and large surface changes.

Eutrophication is defined as the ‘biological effect of increasing concentrations of plant nutrients in aquatic ecosystems’. Eutrophication results in increased primary production or the production of aquatic plants. It can adversely affect the suitability of the use of water resources for other purposes. Metabolism of shallow lakes is extremely specific such as classical connections; algal biomass with a load of nutrients in shallow lakes can have catastrophic effects.

Nutrients that come directly or indirectly into water lead to increase in the amount of algae as well as changes in the composition of phytoplankton, where there is suppression of diatoms and green algae by cyanobacteria.

The values of parameters assessing trophic index (Trophic State Index [TSI]) are total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and transparency. This method that generalises numerous data using mathematical equations allows the expression of trophic level.

On the basis of earlier studies on physical and chemical parameters of water quality in Blidinje lake, Carlson trophic index was calculated, and based on that assessment, trophic level is given.
Water Surface Overgrowing of the Tatra’s Lakes
Authors: Kapusta Juraj , Hreško Juraj , Petrovič František , Tomko-Králo Dávid , Gallik Jozef
Published: April 2018

Tatra’s lakes are vulnerable ecosystems and an important element of the alpine landscape. Mainly some shallow lake basins succumb to intense detritus sedimentation, fine fractions of material from the catchment area or to the overgrowing of water level by vegetation. In this paper, changes and dynamics of the 12 Tatra’s lake shorelines that were selected based on the detailed mapping of their extent are pointed out. Changes were assessed by accurate comparisons of historical and current orthophoto maps from the years 1949, 1955 and 2015 – and therefore, based on the oldest and the latest relevant materials. Due to the overgrowing of lakes caused by vegetation, their water surface decreased from −0.9% up to −47.9%, during the examined period. Losses were caused by the overgrowing of open water surface by the communities of sedges and peat bogs. The most significant dynamics of the shorelines during the last decades were reached by those lakes, into which fine sediments were simultaneously deposited by means of mountain water coarse. These sediments made the marginal parts of the lake basins shallower and accelerated rapid expansion of vegetation to the detriment of the open water surface. The overgrowing of shallow moraine lakes lying in the vegetation zone is a significant phenomenon of the High Tatras alpine landscape. It leads to their gradual extinction, turn into peat bogs and wet alpine meadows.
Alien Plant Species in the Agricultural Habitats of Ukraine: Diversity and Risk Assessment
Authors: Burda Raisa
Published: April 2018

This paper is the first critical review of the diversity of the Ukrainian adventive flora, which has spread in agricultural habitats in the 21st century. The author’s annotated checklist contains the data on 740 species, subspecies and hybrids from 362 genera and 79 families of non-native weeds. The floristic comparative method was used, and the information was generalised into some categories of five characteristic features: climamorphotype (life form), time and method of introduction, level of naturalisation, and distribution into 22 classes of three habitat types according to European Nature Information System (EUNIS). Two assessments of the ecological risk of alien plants were first conducted in Ukraine according to the European methods: the risk of overcoming natural migration barriers and the risk of their impact on the environment. The exposed impact of invasive alien plants on ecosystems has a convertible character; the obtained information confirms a high level of phytobiotic contamination of agricultural habitats in Ukraine. It is necessary to implement European and national documents regarding the legislative and regulative policy on invasive alien species as one of the threats to biotic diversity.

Authors: Szejko Natalia , Jakubovski Ewgeni , Fremer Carolin , Kunert Katja , Müller-Vahl Kirsten
Published: April 2018

Background:

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a childhood-onset neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. In severe treatment-resistant cases of TS, cannabis-based medicine could be used alternatively as a therapy of last choice.

Case Presentation:

We present the case of an 7-year-old boy with severe TS and comorbid attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), who significantly benefitted from treatment with cannabis-based medicine. During an episode with increased tics, he became depressed, developed suicidal ideation, and exhibited separation anxiety resulting in social isolation. As treatment with various antipsychotics and Habit Reversal Training turned out to be unsuccessful, we implemented therapy with oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) as oil-based drops. Starting dose was as low as 0.7 mg THC/day once a day and was gradually increased up to a maximum dose of 29.4 mg THC/day, resulting in a significant improvement of both tics and behavioral symptoms. Follow-up visits over a period of 4 months demonstrated a sustained treatment effect without any adverse events.

Conclusion:

From this single case report, it is suggested that THC is effective and safe in the treatment of tics, depression, and ADHD in children with severe and otherwise treatment-resistant TS.

FENOMENOLOGIA DA LIBERDADE: ENTRE A CONSCIÊNCIA FANATIZADA E A TRANSCENDÊNCIA DO SER
Authors: Silva Ezir George
Published: April 2018

O trabalho inscreve-se nos estudos sobre Filosofia, Ciências da Religião, Espiritualidade e Educação. Seu objetivo é analisar como a noção de Liberdade se articula, fenomenologicamente, entre a consciência fanatizada e a transcendência do Ser, à luz da abordagem hermenêutico-fenomenológica do Pensamento Filosófico de Gabriel Marcel. Averiguar como essas categorias podem ajudar na construção de uma visão de mundo que não oblitera as dimensões do Ser e que se coloca contra as posturas aviltantes que despersonalizam as relações humanas. No primeiro momento, discutiremos as perspectivas ontológicas entre Liberdade e Razão e seu desdobramento para a compreensão do homem sobre si mesmo, o outro e o mundo. Na segunda parte, analisaremos a tensão entre Liberdade e Verdade, destacando o modo como o processo de abstração do Ser pode transformar-se numa autolatria. No terceiro momento, refletiremos sobre a Liberdade e a Heteronomia, como engajamento promotor de outras realidades existenciais e testemunhos espirituais. Enfim, pretende-se identificar as implicações dessas abordagens sobre as relações intersubjetivas, numa perspectiva da formação humana.

Authors: Cunha Joaci De S.
Published: April 2018

Este artigo discute as ações político-legais do governo de Michel Temer no Brasil direcionadas ao setor agrário, bem como suas consequências sobre os camponeses e os povos do campo. Destaca-se nessas ações, a desestruturação da política pública de reforma agrária, a lei que permite a transformação em propriedade privada as áreas rurais de domínio público em todo o país, e o projeto que pretende facilitar a estrangeirização da terra no país. Demostra-se como esses projetos correspondem aos interesses na só do governo, mas também dos setores ligados ao agronegócio latifundiário. Conclui-se que avança o crescimento da grande propriedade, a violência sobre os povos tradicionais do campo, exigindo uma urgente reação da sociedade e das organizações camponesas num esforço nacional de resistência.
O “OVO DA SERPENTE”: ARCABOUÇO DE EXCEPCIONALIDADES PARA A COPA DE 2014 COMO REGRA DO FUNCIONAMENTO DO ESTADO BRASILEIRO CONTEMPORÂNEO
Authors: Ivo Any Brito Leal
Published: April 2018

Este artigo apresenta parte da monografia desenvolvida como trabalho de conclusão do curso de direito, que avança na conceituação no âmbito da técnica jurídica da ideia de Estado Excessivo, modelo de estadoproposto na tese de doutorado dessa autora, defendida no Programa de Pós-graduação em Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal da Bahia, no ano de 2013. Analisa, do ponto de vista jurídico, as mudanças significativas no desenho d estado contemporâneo brasileiro, expressas por constrangimentos a direitos consolidados e abrigados como direitos fundamentais, num contexto de vigência formal do Estado Democrático de Direito, configurando um descolamento entre discurso e práxis, num momento de inflexão política que, por fim, esgarça o regime democrático e os direitos para democracia. Consiste no entendimento de que o processo de “excepcionalização” do legal, inaugurado na preparação do país para os megaeventos, torna-se “regra”. Avança na análise crítica do papel do aparelho de justiça nesse processo de relativização do corpo legal vigente, denunciando novos arranjos entre o executivo, o legislativo e o judiciário, coniventes com a criação de privilégios regulamentados a serviço do grande capital. Evidencia a relação de libertinagem entre o Estado, o Direito e o Mercado, que, gradativamente, usurpam conquistas históricas democráticas e democratizantes.
O LULISMO CONFRONTADO NAS RUAS: PROJETO POLÍTICO E CICLO DE PROTESTO NO BRASIL (2013-2017)
Authors: De Souza Cláudio André
Published: April 2018

Este trabalho tem o propósito de estimular o debate conjuntural sobre a política brasileira, considerando a existência de uma crise do lulismo enquanto fenômeno de representação política que culminou com o impeachment da presidenta Dilma Rousseff (PT) em agosto de 2016, a partir de vários fatores internos - levados à frente enquanto articulações de bastidores no âmbito das instituições - e fatores externos - através da realização de um conjunto de mobilizações de segmentos sociais de maior renda e escolaridade das grandes cidades brasileiras, levando a consequências mais amplas que o desfecho do impeachment diante de um ativismo societário que tende a gerar impactos de longo prazo. Sendo assim, busca-se apresentar o conceito de ciclo de protesto como instrumental analítico para interpretar uma “virada conservadora” na sociedade civil brasileira em torno de um projeto político neoliberal de ampla consequência para a construção democrática no país. Diferente das análises de caráter institucional predominantes na ciência política, o objetivo deste artigo reside na aproximação à perspectiva de compreender a democracia para além da ambiência eleitoral.

Este texto aborda os resultados obtidos por um projeto desenvolvido no âmbito escolar rural do semiárido baiano, para além dos muros da instituição. A metodologia, de inspiração freiriana, foi alicerçada no ensino socialmente referenciado na realidade do aluno. De acordo com os princípios desta metodologia, o aluno deve conhecer, analisar e transformar (Projeto CAT) a realidade do campo onde vive. A contextualização do conhecimento é fundamental para que o aluno possa ressignificar saberes e valores, possa aprender a viver, ler e intervir em sua realidade. Este sujeito ativo viria por meio da formação continuada dos professores, da produção de material didático contextualizado e da adoção de práticas pedagógicas e de gestão democrática.  Ainda como produto institucionalizado, pretendia-se convencer os municípios a destacar recursos do orçamento local para utilizar a referida metodologia de educação do campo contextualizada. A técnica de análise que produziu a presente discussão foi ancorada no modelo estatístico-econométrico de análise de regressão para isolar o efeito do programa a partir da coleta de dados entre grupos de tratamento e controle. Os resultados mostraram que houve diferenças estatísticas significativas entre escolas que adotaram e que não adotaram a metodologia. Propõese que a educação contextualizada se justifique pelos seus resultados em indicadores objetivos para além dos muros da escola, por um princípio de direito do sujeito em compreender o seu lugar e as relações que se estabelecem a partir dele nos vários planos da vida: social, político, econômico, ambiental e cultural.

Amaç: Kardiyovasküler hastalıklar (KVH) dünya çapında,
mortalite ve morbiditenin majör nedeni olma yolunda gittikçe artan bir rol
üstlenmektedir. Böylesine önemli bir sağlık sorununda, son derece yüksek
maliyetle yürütülebilen tedavi çalışmalarına ek olarak primer ve sekonder
korunma çalışmalarına ağırlık verilmesi gereği açıktır. Dislipidemi, koroner
arter hastalığını (KAH) öngören düzeltilebilir önemli bir risk faktördür.
Dünyada altı adet LDL aferez yöntemi vardır. Fakat daha önce kaskad filtrasyon
yönteminin inflamatuar süreç üzerine etkilerini gösteren geniş kapsamlı bir
çalışma yoktur. Yöntem:
Hiperlipidemik hastalarda düşük yoğunluklu lipoprotein (LDL) aferez yöntemi
olan çift filtrasyon plazmaferezi (DFPP) ve kaskad filtrasyonunun; lipid
profili ve yüksek-duyarlıklı CRP (hs-CRP), üzerine etkilerinin incelenmesi
amaçlı yapılmış olan çalışmamıza kardiyoloji polikliniğine başvurmuş aktif
enfeksiyonu olmayan 12 hiperlipidemik hasta alındı, her hastaya 6 seans olmak
üzere toplam 72 seans aferez uygulandı. Bulgular:
Hiperlipidemik hastalarda aferez sonrası lipid ve hs-CRP değerleri aferez
öncesine göre değerlendirildi. Aferez sonrası değerlendirilen lipid ve hs-CRP
düzeyleri aferez öncesine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düşük bulundu. Sonuç: Bulgularımız, maksimum diyet ve
ilaç tedavisine yanıt alınamayan hiperlipidemik hastalarda lipid aferezinin;
KAH tedavisinde primer ve sekonder korumada LDL kolesterol düzeyini etkin
olarak düşürdüğünden mortalite ve morbiditede etkili olabileceğini
desteklemektedir. Ayrıca azaltılan hs-CRP düzeylerinin aterosklerotik lezyon
için olumlu katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmüştür. Hiperlipidemik hastalarda kaskad
filtrasyon tekniği ile yapılan lipid aferezinin lipid düzeyi ve hs-CRP
üzerindeki etkilerinin klinik sonuçları çalışmamıza göre son derece olumlu gibi
görünse de, daha geniş kapsamlı, uzun süreli ve yüksek hasta sayısı ile yapılan
çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

An MRSA Infection in a Diabetic Patient Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Authors: Gorny Alexander
Published: April 2018

Gall bladder empyema secondary to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is a very rare occurrence that was scarcely reported. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body. It's tougher to treat than most strains of staphylococcus aureus, or staph, because it is resistant to some commonly used antibiotics. Garden-variety staph are common bacteria that can live on our bodies. Plenty of healthy people carry staph without being infected by it. In fact, 25-30% of us have staph bacteria in our noses.

However, staph can be a problem if it manages to get into the body, often through a skin compromise. MRSA has become a major problem worldwide and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality (D.Q.A. Nguyen and N.I Ramus). Teranishi et al reported a case of acute cholecystitis caused by MRSA in the Japanese literature. No prior such cases were reported.
Nosocomial infections in the Intensive care unit: global problem of modern medicine
Authors: Vezirova Zara
Published: April 2018

Increased volume of surgical interventions, improvement of efficiency of special treatment modalities and modes of respiratory support, as well as development of new generation antibiotic medications has led to significant improvement of clinical outcomes of intensive therapy for critical conditions. At the same time, introduction of innovative and largely invasive interventions resulted in the emergence of new disease entities.

Presently, the development of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) has become one of the riveting and serious problems of modern hospitals. These infections often lead to prolonged hospital stay, which in turn adds to the morbidity and mortality, worsen patient quality of life and also has significant economic consequences [1-5].

There are number of varying definitions of infections related to medical care [6]. According to the WHO, infections that develop 48 hours after hospitalization, excluding the incubation period, are called hospital-acquired or nosocomial infections. Some authors also include here infections that develop 4 weeks after patient’s discharge from hospital or 30 days after surgical interventions are also included in this category. Infections that develop within 30 days after last chemotherapy in patients with metastatic cancer are also included as additional criteria according to a medical literature [7]. Other authors conclude that readmission of patients with established infection that was the result of previous hospitalization as well as any infectious diseases of hospital employee that develops secondary to the work in the hospital, irrespective to the time of onset of symptoms (during or after the hospital visit or stay) shall also be regarded as the hospital-acquired infections (HAI) [8-10].

The average prevalence of HAI is around 3.5-10.5% or 9.0-91.7 cases per 1000 patient-days [11]. It is estimated that the probability of infectious complications increases after five days of hospitalization [12]. According to the modern medical knowledge, the prevalence of HAI of various causes among the hospitalized patients in North America and Europe is around 5-10% and those in Latin America and Asia is around 40% [13,14]. The mortality among patients with HAI is seven times higher than among other patients aligned based on age, sex, main disease and comorbidities and severity of disease. According to the official statistics, HAIs are fourth most common cause of mortality in the US leading to 90.000 deaths annually. Annual economic burden and additional costs associated with the treatment of HAIs in the US is about 2.4-4.5 billion US dollars [15-17].

In the biomedical area a critical factor is whether a classication model is accurate enough in order to provide correct classication whether or not a patient has a certain disease. Several techniques may be used in order to accommodate such situation. In this context, Bayesian networks have emerged as a practical classication technology with successful applications in many elds. At the same time, logistic regression is a widely used statistical classication method and evidenced in the literature. In the current paper we focus on investigating the preditive performance of a probabilistic networks in its simple particular case, the so called naive Bayes network, compared to the logistic regression. A systematic simulation study is performed and the procedures are illustrated in some benchmark biomedical data sets. data sets.

Public transport in the urban areas in the Philippines, takes several trips everyday with Philippines being the second populated country in the South East Asia. Buses and jeeps accounts for this trips, which people utilizes for their work and living. With greater demand to use public transportation, fare collection payment could be very hassle for both driver and passengers. The main objective of this study was to explore the potential of implementing a smart card system in the Philippines to improve the fare payment matrix in public transport utilities and analyze its impact to hypothetically solve issues on the worsening of traffic problem in urban areas, variability in implementation of fare matrix, and nondiscriminatory request to avail of PWD, student and senior citizen discount. A survey questionnaire was used for data collection and snowball purposive sampling was applied to draw the 300 research participants from several demographic, which includes public utility passengers categorized into four (4) namely regular, student, Person With Disabilities (PWD) and senior citizens; public transport operators and drivers. Quantitative method and deductive approach was used in the process to assess the validity of findings. Participant observation was also conducted to understand the participant’s gratification on the benefits that the framework may offer to the people thus resulting to a qualitative research and to understand the correlation of the quantitative findings based from the survey. With the proposed framework, the acceptability of the visualized used of smart card could result to a highly sustainable transport payment system in the country that can help promote faster, convenient, standardized fare payment collection and matrix, gratified and placated passenger experience within the region and positive realization of a cost-effective way of transportation for economical commuters.
