Published: September 2019

Poverty with its entire dimension has a destructive effect due to social, economy, safety, legal, and political instabilities. This research design is a combination of qualitative descriptive and confirmatory exploration. The research variable is derived from Empowerment and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) which is the designation of a competitive and sustainable empowerment management scheme. Poverty alleviation which consists of social support and protection for poor household to the empowerment of small and micro businesss has two characteristics, namely rescue and recovery. The rescue characteristic is a short-term effort to save the poor household due to the rise of fuel price, while the recovery is a long-term ones. There are problems in poverty alleviation which focuses on the empowerment and lack of engagement from local people. An increase in growth rate should increase the income per capita which will solve the problem of unemployment, poverty, and imbalance of income distribution. On the contrary, the real situation shows different fact that the increase of economic growth causes an increase of unemployment rate along with more gap in poverty and income distribution.

Authors: Kurniawan Robi Cahyadi
Published: September 2019

Clientelism is a renewal of the concept of patronage, a patron of clients commonly referred to in several scientific studies. This research uses a qualitative method through an in-depth interview approach to informants and literature studies. The results show that clientelism among voters occurred in the election of Bandar Lampung Mayor Election in 2015. There is a symbiosis of mutualism between incumbent candidates for the Mayor and voters. Voters are influenced by their choices through imaging, giving, programs, and profitable policies. Voters benefit from education policies, free health, infrastructure and social assistance. Another pattern is shown in Lampung Governor Election 2014 when Sugar Group Company (SGC), with their significant power position and influence in sugar trade, fully supports the nomination of M. Ridho Ficardo. The pattern used is by holding entertainment shows and puppets with various attractive prizes offered such as motorbikes, refrigerators, and farm animals. Many voters are interested in giving their votes and get the prizes in return.

Culture Media in Pharmacopoeial Analysis: Use, Current Requirements, Standardisation
Authors: Sukhanova S. M. , Zakharova N. E.
Published: September 2019

Culture media with predetermined specific characteristics play a key role in ensuring safety, quality and efficacy of medicinal products, especially biologicals. It is necessary to formulate clear criteria for culture media suitability, because they are used not only in manufacture, but also in quality control of medicinal products. The expansion of the range of complex high-technology medicinal products containing biologically derived substances as active ingredients, whose quality and properties are tested by biological methods, calls for more stringent requirements for the quality of culture media. The aim of the study was to analyse requirements for the culture media used in the production of medicinal products — in order to identify approaches to the development of a national standard. Currently, culture media are not included into the State Register of Medicinal Products, and there are no standards that could be used by manufacturers to confirm that a culture medium complies with specific safety, efficacy and quality requirements. The paper summarises the results of the analysis of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation, 14th ed., and nine leading world pharmacopeias’ requirements for culture media used for various purposes (manufacture, auxiliary purposes, and quality control). Most countries have adopted requirements mainly for those culture media that are used in purity tests. The analysis revealed differences both in the lists of requirements (test strains, incubation and storage conditions, preparation for use, suitability assessment), and the approaches to the establishment and presentation of requirements. The paper discusses the main challenges and risks associated with the quality control of culture media in accordance with the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation, 14th ed. It outlines current national and international ways of improving the quality of culture media used in the production of medicinal products, and substantiates the need to develop an appropriate national standard. The paper suggests approaches to the development and standardisation of requirements for the quality of various types of media used in the production and control of medicines. These approaches could be used in the preparation of the general chapter Culture media.

Published: September 2019

Mass vaccination is an essential element of immunoprophylaxis of infectious diseases, and the global community has agreed that it is crucial for preserving the lives and health of children and adults. The objective of this study was to analyse the current state of vaccination of infants under one year old against bacterial infections, given that the National Immunisation Schedule is overladen with various vaccines, and there are apparent inconsistencies between the types of marketed vaccines and recommendations on their use. The article summarises the types of antibacterial vaccines marketed in the Russian Federation, analyses some aspects of combination of different antigens and interchangeability of vaccines. The authors justify the need to amend recommendations on antibacterial vaccination and to develop common rules for the use and combination of vaccines, as well as for their interchangeability. Another important issue is adoption of requirements for the contents of patient information leaflets. The article summarises the main safety concerns regarding the use of polyvalent vaccines and simultaneous vaccination against several pathogens. It discusses safety issues of multiple immunisation and the strategy to reduce potential risks associated with an intensive vaccination schedule. The authors highlight the safety of current immunisations schedules and the need to update vaccination standards. They also demonstrate the need to harmonise national recommendations on the use of vaccines based on clinical data and the results of international clinical trials.

Early diagnosis of tuberculosis remains essential for the prevention of the disease and control of its incidence. The diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) has significantly improved over the last years due to the use of new immunological tests, including the Diaskintest.

The aim of the study was to assess the potential of immunological assays for diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection and determination of risk groups for tuberculosis among personnel of different institutions.

Materials and methods: in 2015–2018, a prospective group-control study was conducted that included employees of various medical centres (n = 154) and healthy individuals (n = 30). There were no significant age differences between the subjects. All the subjects included in the study shared their medical history, underwent general examination, X-ray examination, and were tested with Diaskintest. Multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) of the chest was performed for every subject with a positive Diaskintest result.

Results: the comparison of the number of persons with LTBI in general care hospitals, personnel of a manufacturing firm, and among healthy individuals showed that the risk of being infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is very similar in all the groups (from 6.8 to 10.0 %). The highest risk of developing LTBI was found in people who worked in an infectious area for more than 5 years (48.4 %). The analysis of the level of immune complexes (ICs) demonstrated that individuals with LTBI did not have isotypes of IgG3 and IgE immune complexes, which are found in patients with tuberculosis. The identification of particular isotypes indicates a borderline state between LTBI and tuberculosis and requires therapeutic intervention.

Conclusions: the use of the Diaskintest makes it possible to distinguish groups of employees of various institutions who are at a higher risk of developing tuberculosis. At the same time, determination of the ICs helps to reveal the borderline condition which requires medical intervention.
Sobre el poder y sus regularidades. Michel Foucault y Pierre Bourdieu
Authors: Guglielmi Flavio
Published: September 2019

El presente artículo pretende rescatar ciertas notas y modos de analizar el poder en Pierre Bourdieu y Michel Foucault, investigadores que parten de tradiciones académicas diferentes pero que arriban a construcciones teóricas que guardan similitudes. En líneas generales, puede establecer que en ambos autores las relaciones de poder se construyen cuando ciertos individuos pueden afectar las acciones de otros. Dicha relación implica una imposición por parte de un sujeto o grupo que se desarrolla a partir de una desigualdad o distinción (sea de bienes, capacidades, autoridad, etc.); la misma se encuentra administrada desde una economía que permite gestionar los medios para actuar de un modo óptimo (aunque corresponde a cada caso particular establecer lo que se considera óptimo), y responde a una estrategia como una estimación en un juego de acción y reacción entre agentes relativamente libres que no agota la totalidad de las acciones posibles. 
Learning styles and the human brain: what does the evidence tell us?
Authors: Álvarez-Montero Francisco J.
Published: September 2019

Learning
Styles (LS) are a very popular idea in Education and Psychology. However, most
studies indicate that matching the instructional strategy to the students’ LS does
not improve learning, and that their inventories do not have acceptable levels
of reliability and validity. The research presented here compares the theoretical
hypotheses of LS, with what is currently known about the architecture of the
human brain, and the way it processes information to make sense of the
environment and learn. Thus, providing new evidence on the subject that has not
been previously discussed. The analysis shows that the brain is composed of a
set of anatomically distributed networks, where there is a permanent
cross-modal or multimodal interaction, between different types of specialized
neuron modules and brain regions. Something which is not compatible with the notions
of unimodality and fractional or partial modality, proposed by LS advocates. Furthermore,
evidence on white matter plasticity and synaptic activity, point out that part
of the physical infrastructure required to master a new ability, needs to be
created on demand, contradicting the hypothesis that LS are innate learning
preferences. Finally, although it can be said that there is some level of
resemblance between LS and the brain, such an association cannot be easily
made.

Published: September 2019

This visual case study is conducted by Le Devoir, a Canadian french-language independent daily newspaper gathering around 50 journalists and one million readers every week. During the past twelve months, in collaboration with Polytechnique Montreal, we investigated a scrollytelling format strongly relying on combined series of data visualizations. This visual case study will specifically present one of the news stories we published, which communicates electoral results the day after the last Quebec general election. It gathers all the lessons that we learnt from this experience, the challenges that we tackled and the perspectives for the future. Beyond the specific electoral context of this work, these conclusions might be useful for any practitioner willing to communicate data visualization based stories, using a scrollytelling narrative format.
Der 3rd-Person-Effekt der 4. Gewalt (Autopoiesis impliziter Heuristik)
Authors: Dutine Frank
Published: September 2019

Werbung wirkt! Aber nur auf andere – nicht auf mich selbst. Gehen wir davon aus, dass andere Menschen stärker von Medien oder Werbung beeinflusst werden als wir selbst? Und welchen Einfluss hat diese Annahme auf unsere Einstellungen und unser Verhalten? Diese Kernfragen bilden die Medienwirkungstheorie des 3rd-Person-Effekts. Die nachfolgende Arbeit bietet eine Einführung in diesen Ansatz, die anhand dreier Interviews mit aktiven Medienrezipienten ermittelt wurde. Die daraus abgeleiteten Erkenntnisse wurden mit bestehenden theoretischen Betrachtungen zusammengeführt und in Verbindung gebracht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine deutliche Effektwirkung im Sinne einer Wahrnehmungsverzerrung, kongruent zu der Theorie des Ansatzes. Darüber hinaus konnten Auswirkungen auf individuelle Vor- und Einstellungen, Einstellungsänderungen, Verhalten und Verhaltensabsichten festgestellt werden. Die wahrgenommene Distanz zum Empfängerkreis wurde als kritische Komponente bestätigt, wobei selbst geographische Distanz eine wichtige Rolle spielte. Zustimmung zu staatlichen Zensurmaßnahmen „gefährlicher“ medialer Botschaften wurde hingegen unisono abgelehnt.
Effectiveness of spelling treatment approaches for learners with dyslexia – A meta-analysis and systematic review
Authors: Galuschka Katharina , Görgen Ruth , Kalmar Julia , Haberstroh Stefan , Schmalz Xenia , Schulte-Körne Gerd
Published: September 2019

This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the efficacy of spelling interventions for the remediation of dyslexia and spelling deficits. Theoretically important moderators, such as the treatment approach as well as orthographic and sample characteristics, were also considered. Thirty-four controlled trials that evaluated spelling interventions in children, adolescents and adults with dyslexia and spelling deficits were included. Results show that treatment approaches using phonics, orthographic (graphotactic or orthographic phonological spelling rules), as well as morphological instruction had a moderate to high impact on spelling performance. A significant influence of interventions that teach memorization strategies to improve spelling could not be confirmed. This work shows that understanding the principles of an orthography is beneficial for learners with dyslexia or spelling deficits and presents key components for effective spelling intervention.

Fault-Diagnosing SLAM for Varying Scale Change Detection
Authors: takuma sugimoto , Kousuke Yamaguchi , tanaka kanji
Published: September 2019

In this paper, we present a new fault diagnosis (FD) -based approach for detection of imagery changes that can detect significant changes as inconsistencies between different sub-modules (e.g., self-localization) of visual SLAM. Unlike classical change detection approaches such as pairwise image comparison (PC) and anomaly detection (AD), neither the memorization of each map image nor the maintenance of up-to-date place-specific anomaly detectors are required in this FD approach. A significant challenge that is encountered when incorporating different SLAM sub-modules into FD involves dealing with the varying scales of objects that have changed (e.g., the appearance of small dangerous obstacles on the floor). To address this issue, we reconsider the bag-of-words (BoW) image representation, by exploiting its recent advances in terms of self-localization and change detection. As a key advantage, BoW image representation can be reorganized into any different scaling by simply cropping the original BoW image. Furthermore, we propose to combine different self-localization modules with strong and weak BoW features with different discriminativity, and to treat inconsistency between strong and weak self-localization as an indicator of change. The efficacy of the proposed approach of FD with/without combining AD and/or PC was experimentally validated.
Mining Minimal Map-Segments for Visual Place Classifiers
Authors: tanaka kanji
Published: September 2019

In visual place recognition (VPR), map segmentation (MS) is a preprocessing technique used to partition a given view-sequence map into place classes (i.e., map segments) so that each class has good place-specific training images for a visual place classifier (VPC). Existing approaches to MS implicitly/explicitly suppose that map segments have a certain size, or individual map segments are balanced in size. However, recent VPR systems showed that very small important map segments (minimal map segments) often suffice for VPC, and the remaining large unimportant portion of the map should be discarded to minimize map maintenance cost. Here, a new MS algorithm that can mine minimal map segments from a large view-sequence map is presented. To solve the inherently NP hard problem, MS is formulated as a video-segmentation problem and the efficient point-trajectory based paradigm of video segmentation is used. The proposed map representation was implemented with three types of VPC: deep convolutional neural network, bag-of-words, and object class detector, and each was integrated into a Monte Carlo localization algorithm (MCL) within a topometric VPR framework. Experiments using the publicly available NCLT dataset thoroughly investigate the efficacy of MS in terms of VPR performance.

IntroductionCerebral palsy (CP) is frequently associated with specific cognitive impairments, such as executive dysfunction which are related to participation and quality of life (QOL). The proposed study will examine whether a computerized executive function (EF) training programme could provide superior benefits for executive functioning, participation, QOL and brain plasticity, as compared to usual care.Methods and analysisA single-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) design will be performed. Thirty children with CP aged 8 to 12 years will participate in a home-based computerized multi-modal executive training programme (12 weeks, 5 days a week, 30 min a day training, total dose= 30h). Thirty children with CP matched by age, sex, motor and intelligence quotient (IQ) will compose the waitlist group. Cognitive, behavioural, emotional, participation and QOL measures will be obtained at three time points: before, immediately after and 9 months after completing the training. Additionally, structural and functional (resting state) magnetic resonance images (MRI) will be obtained in a subsample of 15 children from each group. Outcomes between groups will be compared following standard principles for RCTs.The study will test whether the cognitive training programme exerts a positive effect not only on neuropsychological and daily functioning of children with CP but also on other measures such as participation and QOL. We will also use brain MRI to test brain functional and structural changes after the intervention.If this on-line and home-based training programme proves effective, it could be a cost-effective intervention with short- and long-term effects on EF, participation or QOL in CP.
The disgust traits: Self-other agreement in pathogen, sexual, and moral disgust sensitivity and their independence from HEXACO personality
Authors: Karinen Annika , Tybur Joshua M. , de Vries Reinout E.
Published: September 2019

A broad literature indicates that pathogen, sexual, and moral disgust sensitivity relate to, among other things, political attitudes, moral condemnation, and symptoms of psychopathology. Consequently, disgust sensitivity has been widely assessed across subfields of psychology. Yet, no work has examined whether self-reports in disgust sensitivity reflect systematic trait variation that is detectable by others, and the extent to which such variation is distinct from broader personality. Here, we present the first study to examine self-other agreement in pathogen, sexual, and moral disgust sensitivity. Romantic partners (n1 = 290), friends (n2 = 212), and acquaintances (n3 = 140) rated each other on these three domains of disgust sensitivity and on HEXACO personality. Correlations between dyad partners’ self- and other-ratings were calculated to estimate the magnitude of self-other agreement. We found self-other agreement in all domains of disgust sensitivity (r’s of .36, .46, and .66 for moral, pathogen, and sexual disgust sensitivity, respectively), with this agreement weakly to moderately inferred from personality perceptions (percentages mediated by HEXACO were 15%, 7%, and 33% for pathogen, sexual, and moral disgust sensitivity, respectively). These results suggest that pathogen, sexual, and moral disgust sensitivity reflect systematic trait variation that is detectable by others and distinct from broader personality traits.

Published: September 2019

Wireless signals play major a role not only in establishing communication between the node to node but also for providing information about the other end of the destination node. Wireless signals especially used in radar engineering are used to detect the target eliminating the use of large number sensors. RF wireless signals which are generated from the networking (WiFi routers) devices can be used for remotely detecting the object. And nowadays networking devices installed in the household and the companies are the part of modern communication and by using these devices for the above said would greatly reduce the use of sensors for object sensing. A person away from his home can detect the changes during his absence with the routers that are installed in his home. This study aims at studying different techniques that are used for object detection using wireless signals at different scenarios.

However, in Lebanon there is no data that studies the impact of comorbidity on mortality. Our aim was to assess whether comorbid conditions affect LOS and mortality in the sample under study.
Study Design and Setting: A case-control retrospective pilot study was undertaken using data of patients admitted to Rafik Hariri University Hospital for six months. Comorbidity information was collected using Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS). Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.
Results: We studied 361 patients (33.2% were diabetic). In comparison to non-diabetic patients, diabetic patients had more comorbidity (5.28 vs 4.04; p <0.001), which was assessed by CIRS (p <0.001) and CCI (p <0.001). Non-diabetic patients have three times more risk of mortality than diabetic subjects, but the mean LOS for patients with diabetes was one day longer than patients without diabetes.
Conclusion: These results showed that comorbidity increased both mortality and LOS, and it suggested that controlling diabetes and comorbidities may reduce mortality and LOS. However, they need to be confirmed by further investigations in a larger sample.
La double expérience du temps en périnatalité

Published: September 2019

Dans le monde de la périnatalité, deux temporalités coexistent et entrent en conflit… quasiment en permanence. Force est de constater que trop souvent la tendance dominante est à l’effacement de l’une des deux. On pourrait se contenter de le constater si les conséquences n’étaient pas désastreuses.

Vision impairment is an important general health issue that imposes many costs on governments and the health system every year. Despite the decline in infectious eye diseases, which has reduced the vision impairment and blindness over the past two decades, vision impairment is still a major health problem in some parts of the world. In traditional medicine books, visual weakness is referred to as “any disturbance in the act of seeing”. Many medicinal herbs have been mentioned in books of Traditional Iranian medicine (TIM) for the management of vision impairment. The aim of this study is to review the medicinal plants mentioned in TIM, which are considered effective for the treatment of vision impairment or its enhancement. In this library-based study, medicinal plants effective in the treatment of vision impairment were searched using 6 valid sources of traditional medicine, including Makhzan ol-Adawiya, The Canon of Medicine, Tuhfat al-Momenin, Al-Abniyah An Haqaiq al-adwiya, Al-Shamil Fi al-Sana’at al-tebiyah, and Ekhtiarate Badiee. This was done in 10 steps (finding keywords, searching for resources, preparing a single list, finding synonyms, classifying, reviewing, extracting plants from compositions, summarizing, scoring and sorting based on the obtained score). A total of 89 medicinal plants were extracted, most of which had a hot and dry temperament. Based on the obtained score, 12 plants got the highest scores (10 and above). The extracted plants can be the basis for further clinical studies to make new effective drugs for the prevention and treatment of vision impairment.[GMJ.2019;8:e1285]

Background: Lipid abnormalities are major risk factors of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD). As well as, lipid markers are time-dependent covariates that change with aging. Previous cohort studies have only investigated baseline measurements of lipid markers on CVD mortality. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 4,148 individuals aged over 40 years. Total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured in five phases. A joint model analysis was used to investigate the association between each longitudinal lipid markers and CVD mortality in men, women and pooled sample. All analysis was performed using the survival and joint modeling packages in R 3.3.3. Results: Totally, 233 CVD deaths occurred during a median follow-up of 12.4 years. For men, CVD mortality increased by 28% (confidence interval [CI]: 14%,44%) for a 10% increased in TC. For women, CVD mortality increased by 43% (CI: 22%, 68%) and 21% (CI:7%, 37%) for 10 % increase in TC and LDL-C and decreased by ‌18% (CI:7%, 27%) for a 10% increase in HDL-C. Conclusion: Association of lipid ‎markers with CVD mortality is different in men and women, such that high levels of TC ‎and ‎LDL-C and low levels of HDL-C are risk factors of CVD mortality in women, but only TC is a risk ‎factor of CVD mortality in men.

Background: Dietary patterns of children are determined by their food preferences, and mothers have important implications for these preferences. This study was aimed to investigate the maternal factors associated with children’s food preferences. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 576 healthy children aged 3-6 years participated from nursery schools through simple cluster sampling method and maternal factors associated with children’s food preferences were determined using a researcher designed, validated tool through face-to-face interview with mothers. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using General Linear Model to assess the correlations between different variables. Results: The children with diploma-educated mothers had fewer preferences in consuming nuts, vegetables, and fruits, and children with academic-educated mothers had fewer preferences in consuming nuts, beans, vegetables, fruits, drinks, condiments, and snacks (P<0.05). Children with employed mothers had fewer preferences for beans and drinks (P<0.02). Drinks preferences were lower among children whose mothers had good nutritional knowledge score (P<0.03). Proteins, beans, fruits, condiments, and snacks preferences were higher among children whose mothers had good nutritional attitude score (P<0.05). A positive correlation was found between the food preferences of children and mothers (0.377<B<0.570, P<0.001) in all food groups.  Conclusion: The results of the study showed that mothers̓ educational level and their high nutritional knowledge and attitude could not guarantee the healthy dietary patterns of children. To promote children’s dietary patterns, it is imperative to improve the food preferences of mothers through specialized training. [GMJ.2019;8:e1652]
The Intestinal Barrier in Parkinson’s Disease: Current State of Knowledge
Authors: van IJzendoorn Sven C. D. , Derkinderen Pascal
Published: September 2019

The intestinal barrier, which primarily consists of epithelial cells stitched together with connecting proteins called tight junctions, plays a critical role in health and disease. It is in close contact with the gut microbiota on its luminal side and with the enteric neurons on the tissue side. Both microbiota and the enteric nervous system are regulatory housekeepers of the intestinal barrier. Therefore, the recently observed enteric neuropathology along with gut dysbiosis in Parkinson’s disease have prompted research on intestinal permeability in this neurodegenerative disorder. In this mini-review we attempt to concisely summarize the current knowledge on intestinal barrier in Parkinson’s disease. We envision future direction research that should be pursued in order to demonstrate its possible role in disease development and progression.
