Προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς στα παιδιά με ΔΕΠ/Υ
Authors: ΛΑΖΑΡΗ ΔΙΟΝΥΣΙΑ
Published: March 2019

Η Διαταραχή Ελλειμματικής Προσοχής ή/και Υπερκινητικότητα (ΔΕΠ/Υ) είναι μια  νευροαναπτυξιακή διαταραχή της παιδικής ηλικίας. Τα παιδιά με ΔΕΠ/Υ παρουσιάζουν δυσκολίες στην ικανότητα ελέγχου της συμπεριφοράς τους, οι οποίες έχουν αρνητικό αντίκτυπο τόσο στα ίδια όσο και στον περίγυρο τους.Στην βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση, διερευνάται η συμπεριφορά των παιδιών αυτών από τη βρεφική έως και την εφηβική ηλικία καθώς και της συμπεριφοράς που εμφανίζουν τα παιδιά που ανήκουν στον πρώτο τύπο της ΔΕΠ/Υ (Τύπος Ελλειμματικής Προσοχής) και στον τρίτο τύπο της διαταραχής (Συνδυασμένος Τύπος), καθώς και των σχέσεων τους με τους συνομηλίκους. Επιπλέον, αναλύεται η συμπεριφορά των παιδιών με ΔΕΠ/Υ μέσα στο σχολικό περιβάλλον απέναντι στο δάσκαλό τους και στους συμμαθητές τους, αλλά και μέσα στο οικογενειακό περιβάλλον.Τα ευρήματα έδειξαν ότι η συμπεριφορά των παιδιών με ΔΕΠ/Υ από τη βρεφική ως και την εφηβική ηλικία χαρακτηρίζεται από ευερεθιστότητα και ανυπακοή και η συμπεριφορά των παιδιών του Α’ τύπου της ΔΕΠ/Υ χαρακτηρίζεται από κοινωνική παθητικότητα, ενώ των παιδιών του Γ’ τύπου από επιθετικότητα και συναισθηματική αστάθεια. Η συμπεριφορά τους είναι ανάλογη στο σχολικό και οικογενειακό περιβάλλον.Συμπερασματικά, τα παραπάνω προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς των παιδιών έχουν ως αποτέλεσμα τη σύναψη δυσλειτουργικών κοινωνικών σχέσεων μεταξύ τους και την διατάραξη της οικολογίας της τάξης, καθώς και της οικογένειας τους.

Ο Αυτισμός αποτελεί μια νευροαναπτυξιακή διαταραχή που επηρεάζει την λειτουργία του εγκεφάλου και κατά συνέπεια και άλλους τομείς ανάπτυξης με έναν ασταθή και ακανόνιστο τρόπο. Υπάρχουν πολλές θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις για τον αυτισμό και μια από αυτές είναι και η μουσικοθεραπεία. Η μουσικοθεραπεία αποτελεί μια θεραπεία με καθαρά θεραπευτικό χαρακτήρα (Αναγνωστοπούλου & Μάντη, 2009). Δεν επιδιώκει ούτε την ψυχαγωγία ούτε και τη μουσική εκπαίδευση. Η μουσικοθεραπεία χρησιμοποιείται ως μέσο έκφρασης και δημιουργικότητας, δίνοντας σε άτομα με περιορισμένες δυνατότητες λεκτικής επικοινωνίας όπως στα άτομα με αυτισμό, έναν εναλλακτικό τρόπο επικοινωνίας και έκφρασης. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι να ερευνήσει την ανάπτυξη των κοινωνικών και επικοινωνιακών δεξιοτήτων μέσω της μουσικοθεραπείας σε παιδιά με Δ.Α.Φ., με έμφαση στην συναισθηματική ανάπτυξη, στα προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς καθώς και στη γενικότερη κοινωνική συμπεριφορά. Για  τις ανάγκες διερεύνησης του παραπάνω σκοπού χρησιμοποιήθηκε η ποιοτική μέθοδος και τα εργαλεία συλλογής δεδομένων που βοήθησαν στην υλοποίηση της ήταν η ημιδομημένη συνέντευξη και η δομημένη παρατήρηση. Στη συνέντευξη συμμετείχαν ειδικοί θεραπευτές οι οποίοι υλοποιούν μουσικοθεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις και η παρατήρηση χρησιμοποιήθηκε προκειμένου να καταγραφεί ενδεχόμενη μεταβολή στις μη αποδεκτές συμπεριφορές ενός παιδιού το οποίο παρακολουθεί πρόγραμμα μουσικοθεραπείας. Τα αποτελέσματα που προέκυψαν από την ποιοτική ανάλυση των δεδομένων καταδεικνύουν,  σημαντική αδυναμία του παιδιού με Δ.Α.Φ. τόσο σε επίπεδο επικοινωνίας, όσο και κοινωνικότητας. Η μουσικοθεραπεία, φαίνεται, να λειτουργεί επιβοηθητικά τόσο στις κοινωνικές, όσο και στις επικοινωνιακές τους δεξιότητες. Ακόμη, θετική υπήρξε η επίδραση της μουσικοθεραπείας στα προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς καθώς και στην ενίσχυση της γενικότερης θετικής κοινωνικής συμπεριφοράς. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας καταδεικνύουν ότι η μουσικοθεραπεία διαδραματίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην πρώιμη παρέμβαση για την αντιμετώπιση αδυναμιών που αντιμετωπίζουν παιδιά με Δ.Α.Φ.

Με επιτακτική την ανάγκη παροχής γνώσης στους μαθητές παρ' όλο ότι κατακλύζονται από πληροφόρηση καθημερινά, η εκπαίδευση πρέπει να είναι ουσιαστική και ταυτόχρονα ελκυστική. Στην ευρύτερη προσπάθεια της ερευνητικής εκπαιδευτικής κοινότητας να αμβλυνθεί η σχέση μεταξύ Μαθηματικών και Τέχνης με εναλλακτικές μεθόδους διδασκαλίας , στο 1ο Γυμνάσιο Σκάλας Ωρωπού Αττικής παράλληλα με τη διδασκαλία του μαθήματος έστησα  και ένα Μαθηματικό Εργαστήρι , στο οποίο με τους μαθητές  σχεδιάζαμε και κατασκευάζαμε για μήνες διάφορα αντικείμενα εμπνευσμένα από τα Μαθηματικά τα οποία εκτός από πλούτο γεωμετρικών δομών, είχαν και αξιοσημείωτο αισθητικό ενδιαφέρον. Έγινε προσπάθεια για εμβάθυνση των γνώσεων των μαθητών σχετικά με την αμφίδρομη σχέση Μαθηματικών και Τέχνης και ενεργοποιήθηκε το ενδιαφέρον και η δημιουργικότητά τους. Τελικά οι μαθητές μέσα από την ομορφιά της Τέχνης  και την αυστηρότητα των Μαθηματικών  είχαν την ευκαιρία να καλλιεργήσουν τη δημιουργική τους ικανότητα και κυρίως να αποδεχτούν τη χρησιμότητα των Μαθηματικών και ιδιαίτερα της Γεωμετρίας στην καθημερινή τους ζωή.

Legal psychopathology
Authors: Алмазов Борис
Published: March 2019

The traditionally understood framework of the discipline "forensic psychiatry" in the educational and legal field is rapidly expanding. Mental disorders that previously were attributed only to the eventual components of a court decision become legally relevant. This manual retains information about the expert assessment of mental illness, but focuses on mental disorders not excluding responsibility, but making it difficult to independently defend their rights and freedoms.
The manual is intended for students of law schools and faculties, but may be interesting for students of social and medical psychology
The protective effect of Lactobacillus plantarum against meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections: an experimental animal model
Authors: Sürmeli Mehmet , Maçin Salih , Akyön Yakut , Kayikçioğlu Aycan Uğur
Published: March 2019

Objective

To determine and quantitatively measure the protective and/or therapeutic effect of Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) application on a burn wound before and after the onset of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection.

Method

Third-degree scald burns affecting 10% of body surface area were formed on the back of five groups of rats. Group 1 was designated as the control group. In Group 2, LP was applied immediately after the burn and then MRSA inoculated. In Group 3, MRSA was applied immediately after the burn and then LP inoculated. Groups 4 and 5 were designated as controls of LP and MRSA. On the fifth and tenth days, bacterial loads and compositions were assessed by tissue biopsies.

Results

Each group contained seven rats (n=35). In Group 2, MRSA colony counts were found to be significantly lower compared with the other groups (p<0.05). In Group 3, MRSA colony counts were not found to be significantly different compared with control groups (p>0.05).

Conclusion

LP was shown to have a protective role in non-infected, burn wounds when applied before MRSA infection but a therapeutic effect of LP was not demonstrated. LP is thought to have a promising role in the prevention and treatment of burn wound infections.
THE INTERVIEW AS GUIDANCE RESOURCE IN THE PROCESSES FOR YOUTH EUROPEAN MOBILITY
Authors: Sobrado Fernández Luis M. , Fernández Rey Elena , García Murias Rebeca
Published: March 2019

INTRODUCTION. Within the European reality there are actions such as the Erasmus Plus initiative, the Ploteus Portal and the EURES network, which generate diverse academic and professional possibilities abroad. These initiatives increase the cultural and social exchange opportunities for young people, and boost their labour insertion opportunities in the European Union. Interviews, structured dialogues, websites, etc. have been highlighted amongst the instruments used by counsellors during guidance sessions regarding mobility opportunities. The European Project, “Guide My W@y” (Kreutzer & Iuga, 2016) proposes action strategies and resources for vocational career counsellors which can be used in interviews. Likewise the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) competencies has been encouraged. The main objective of these counselling tools is to provide guidance professionals from different fields (EURES Network, Euroguidance, Public Employment Services (PES), Universities...) with the support that they require. METHOD. This study has been carried out in four European countries (Germany, Spain, Poland and Czech Republic), it firstly uses a descriptive methodology to analyse the role of the interview as a guidance strategy which can be used by counsellors in youth mobility processes, and subsequently a guidance proposal, based predominantly on the counsellors’ use of the virtual interview process as an intervention tool has been drawn up. RESULTS. Among the tools used in the guidance practices for international youth mobility processes in the four analysed countries, particular focus has been placed on the use of real and virtual interviews, conducting a specific frequency assessment. Likewise the relevance of using a questionnaire as an evaluation tool has been emphasised. DISCUSSION. The interviews implemented by the counsellors by means of virtual and face-to-face dialogues during the intervention process have been considered as an appropriate counselling strategy, and one that is of great value during guidance sessions regarding international mobility. The level of use and the degree of importance placed on the interview process by counsellors have served as the basis for drawing up a virtual dialogue proposal which will enable all young people who are involved in mobility processes in Europe to receive support.
LOS MANUALES DE METODOLOGÍA DIDÁCTICA EN ESPAÑOL (1897-1980)
Authors: Heredia Manrique Alfonso
Published: March 2019

INTRODUCCIÓN. El estudio trata de llenar una parte del vacío existente sobre la conformación de una disciplina académica tan importante en el campo de las ciencias de la educación como es la didáctica; así en el presente artículo se analizarán los manuales de metodología didáctica publicados en español durante el siglo XX. MÉTODO. Se ha llevado a cabo primero un exhaustivo trabajo documental de recogida de los manuales y su sistematización, como base del análisis de aspectos epistemológicos indicadores de las transformaciones ocurridas en la configuración de la didáctica. Estos indicadores han sido recogidos de los análisis de la información proporcionada por los propios manuales y entre los que se han tenido en cuenta tenemos los siguientes: las denominaciones utilizadas en los títulos y su relación con la delimitación del conocimiento didáctico, la organización interna de los contenidos y su valor en el manual y el análisis de la temática del método como la más relevante para observar los cambios. RESULTADOS. Como resultado más importante se destaca la fijación de una línea de manuales didácticos denominada metodología didáctica, donde se distinguen a su vez dos ramas diferenciadas por los contenidos que presentan, una de manuales de metodología general y otra de manuales de didáctica pedagógica, ambas tienen unos contenidos metodológicos comunes, aunque mucho más desarrollados en los manuales de la primera rama y contenidos de metodología especial de educación primaria principalmente en los manuales de la segunda rama. DISCUSIÓN. Se abre una vía inédita a la investigación histórico-educativa y epistemológica de la disciplina de la didáctica que se añade a la que ha venido realizándose en otras disciplinas académicas de las ciencias de la educación desde hace un tiempo.
You get tenure, what do I get?: Using art to interrogate a researcher’s dilemma
Authors: Fellner Gene
Published: March 2019

White researcher-advocates whose explorations are situated in schools serving predominantly African American students hope that their research will improve the academic possibilities for those students and reverse systemic injustice. While racial oppression continues as a central thread in the fabric of American educational institutions, white scholars continue to benefit from their research. Through arts-based methods, I explore this issue as it relates to my own research identity and question whether, despite my goals, I am complicit with hegemonic practices that oppress communities of colour within educational contexts.
Beyond words: Academic writing identities and imaginative (artistic) selves
Authors: Badenhorst Cecile , McLeod Heather , Toll Haley
Published: March 2019

Exploring the de/construction of our imaginative (artistic) selves in relation to our academic writing, we foreground the notion that imaginative processes are part of the assembly of self/selves even as they are part of that de/construction. These imaginative selves are important for our professional identities and the daily negotiations we undertake in the context of institutional norms and expectations. Significant for our outward identities, these imaginative selves allow us to speak from different positions, possibly ones that resist conformity and compliance and actively contribute towards a personally ethical academic identity. Through narratives, images and a post-structural research lens, we explore our ‘hidden’ imaginative (artistic) selves in relation to our academic (writing) selves. Two themes emerged from the analysis of our narratives: (1) Into the unknown; and (2) Finding ourselves. We suggest that engagement with artistic, expressive and aesthetic activities in our personal time are important for processing – through metaphor and sensory means – our understanding of our professional identities, particularly, our writing selves. These incursions into our subjectivities reveal incongruity and ambiguity but also provide a sense of renaissance and regeneration.

Authors: Pereira Jozenei Silva
Published: March 2019

O objetivo da pesquisa é demonstrar, por meio do Balanço Patrimonial dos Recursos Hídrico, a situação sobre o consumo de recursos hídricos nas Regiões Hidrográficas do Brasil. Este estudo justifica-se pela relevância das informações geradas pela Contabilidade que contribuirão para a tomada de decisões dos gestores dos recursos hídricos, a importância de como as nações irão cuidar desses recursos nas próximas décadas e a continuidade de trabalhos acadêmicos que complementem para o avanço das ciências voltadas para o Meio Ambiente. Em termos metodológicos, esta pesquisa é de natureza empírica e exploratória. Para este fim, utilizou-se a tecnologia contábil denominada Balanço Patrimonial Hídrico, como segue: o Ativo Ambiental Hídrico é apurado com base no produto interno bruto da região; o Patrimônio Líquido Ambiental Hídrico é apurado pelo saldo residual das reservas hídricas estimadas e o Passivo Ambiental Hídrico é apurado por equivalência contábil por meio da Equação Fundamental da Contabilidade. Os resultados confirmaram a heterogeneidade daquelas regiões, a exemplo da Região Hidrográfica Amazônica que possui a maior reserva hídrica do país e o segundo menor consumo de água per capita, resultando em superávit patrimonial hídrico de US$ 3.144,37 e a Região Hidrográfica Tocantins-Araguaia, mesmo obtendo a segunda colocação em termos de grande volume de reserva hídrica, no entanto, encontra-se na terceira posição em termos de elevação no consumo de água, resultando um déficit patrimonial hídrico de US$ 212,32.

Economic Surplus, the Baran Ratio, and Capital Accumulation
Authors: Xu Zhun
Published: March 2019

In 1957, in the Political Economy of Growth, Paul Baran made a seminal contribution to our understanding of the connection between economic surplus—a concept he introduced into the development discussion—and growth. Given that the ruling class controls the surplus of society, how the surplus is used—whether it is invested, consumed, or simply wasted—is at its discretion. The effective utilization of surplus implies a reasonable rate of capital accumulation and economic development. In the following study of the utilization of surplus I compare the size of surplus and gross capital formation in a variety of countries starting from the mid–nineteenth century.

There are the numerical data characterizing the delivery of Program in regions of the Russian Federation and amounts of financing for realization the actions contributing to sustainable development of the rural territories. The main directions of the Program are connected with providing the rural territories with a necessary social infrastructure sufficient for maintenance of worthy level of living of a rural population and also to promoting growth of appeal of shape of the rural territories to inflow of the human and investment equities. There is shown an international experience of achievement of high level and quality of life in the rural territories. There are determined the main priorities of development of the rural territories of the European countries: innovation in the structuring of farming; providing a continuous line of production of producing agricultural products; rational use of natural resources; improvement of social and economic conditions of life sustenance in the rural territories. There is revealed the direct dependence between ensuring growth of sustainable development level of the rural territories on degree of a scope and efficiency of use of own resources and the available potentials in the territories. Here are allocated types of the rural territories on the level of sustainable development: the territories of the advancing development; the developing territories; survival territories. There are established the reasons of decrease in life level in the rural territories and great lagging from the level of sustainable development of urban localities. The main reasons are: the concentration of production and conversion of agricultural products in certain settlements promoting desolation and irrational use of potentials of other territories; insufficient financing of the social sphere; a lack of support from the state of small-scale farmer and personal subsidiary farms. There are made recommendations about enhancement of organizational, economic and ecological opportunities of use of the available resource providing the rural territories; production organizations of agricultural products; development of a social infrastructure.

Published: March 2019

The article reveals the legal problems of international legal status and the regime of use of transboundary waters of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which mostly do not have a clear international legal status and the regime of their use. This circumstance worsens the ecological situation in the region, exacerbates the interstate contradictions of the Republic of Kazakhstan with neighbouring countries and has a negative impact on the socio-economic development of the country. The article highlights the interstate problem related to the definition of the regime of use of transboundary waters with the People’ Republic of China that can be solved only on a tripartite basis. Article reveals vulnerability of position of Republic of Kazakhstan in negotiations on transboundary rivers with the People’ Republic of China and necessity to resolve this problem with the participation of the Russian side.

Published: March 2019

The developed version of the integrated technology for collection, sorting and processing of plastic bottles is recommended for settlements with a population not exceeding 50,000 people, with the prospect of separate collection of solid household waste and the prospect of consumption of products in plastic containers on average not less than 7 bottles per month per person. The proposed integrated technology for the collection and cryogenic crushing of PET containers, as studies have shown, is the most acceptable and effective for the Akmola region. The model for the installation of cryogenic grinding of PET containers requires further design work and the filing of documents for obtaining a patent. Focusing on the diversification of the economy of Kazakhstan, the existing enterprises for the collection and recycling of waste can independently deal with the output of end products in the form of threads, packaging or any other consumer goods.

Ecovillage is one of the environmentally friendly village development programs in the Citarum Hulu watershed area of Bandung Regency which involves various parties as stakeholders. In implementing the program, stakeholders, who are the leading sectors, form networks that originate from communities living around the ecovillage development area to become facilitators. The system utilizes smartphone media so that mutual understanding and trust are built which underlies the cohesiveness of groups among these facilitators in the development of ecovillage in their target areas. This study aims to identify the motives for using smartphones in the development of ecovillage, and the factors that shape the cohesiveness of the facilitator group. The method used in this study is a descriptive method with qualitative data properties. The informants who were sampled in this study were facilitators who carried out assistance in three purposively selected target areas. The results showed that the motives of the facilitator used a smartphone with WhatsApp application to facilitate socialization and assistance in the development of the ecovillage which is easier to send messages, inexpensive concerning cost, simple, and fast. While the motive of using the Facebook application is easy to upload and share photos and various activities, affordable costs, easy to find friends, discussion sites, and places to study, the factors that shape the cohesiveness of the facilitator group are the development of cooperation, positive emotions, and the similarity of views in the development of the ecovillage.

Sambungan rumah adalah titik akhir dari pelayanan listrik kepada konsumen, sehingga potret pelayanan dapat dilihat dari mutu tegangan dan tingkat keandalan dari sisi sambungan rumah. Dalam hal ini penulis menemukan sebuah kasus nyata sampel di lapangan mengenai sambungan rumah yang tidak sesuai standar yang layak untuk dibahas dan direncanakan solusi perbaikan jaringannya. Jumlah tarikan sambungan rumah yang tidak standar ini menyebabkan tegangan rumah mengalami jatuh tegangan. Hasil pengukuran pada waktu beban puncak adalah 170 V, persentasenya adalah 22,72%. Padahal tegangan jatuh yang diijinkan adalah maksimal 198 V, persentasenya adalah 10%. Dengan melihat keadaan yang terjadi di lapangan, maka direncanakan solusi untuk perbaikan jaringan. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan software ETAP 12.6.0 untuk simulasi jaringan eksisting, yang akan dibandingkan dengan hasil pengukuran di lapangan. Pada pengukuran jatuh tegangan secara langsung berupa 170 V, sedangkan jatuh tegangan dengan menggunakan software ETAP 12.6.0 berupa 168 V. Sedangkan pada rencana perbaikan jaringan, perhitungan yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan software ETAP 12.6.0 diperoleh persentase jatuh tegangan hanya berkisar antara 1,81% - 3,63%.  Pada software ETAP 12.6.0 menunjukkan bahwa rencana perbaikan yang dilakukan sudah memenuhi standar. Hal ini terlihat dari kisaran persetase jatuh tegangan dari 9,09% 22.72% bisa menjadi 1,81% - 3,63%.
Co-constructing referential space in multimodal narratives
Authors: Stec Kashmiri , Huiskes Mike
Published: March 2019

Meaning-making is a situated, multimodal process. Although most research has focused on conceptualization in individuals, recent work points to the way dynamic processes can affect both conceptualization and expression in multiple individuals (e.g. Özyürek 2002; Fusaroli and Tylén 2012; Narayan 2012). In light of this, we investigate the co-construction of referential space in dyadic multimodal communication. Referential space is the association of a referent with a particular spatial location (McNeill and Pedelty 1995). We focus on the multimodal means by which dyads collaboratively co-construct or co-use referential space, and use it to answer questions related to its use and stability in communication. Whereas previous work has focused on an individual's use of referential space (So et al. 2009), our data suggest that spatial locations are salient to both speakers and addressees: referents assigned to particular spatial locations can be mutually accessible to both participants, as well as stable across longer stretches of discourse.
Classifying affine line bundles on a compact complex space

Published: March 2019

The classification of affine line bundles on a compact complex space is a difficult problem. We study the affine analogue of the Picard functor and the representability problem for this functor. Let be a compact complex space with . We introduce the affine Picard functor which assigns to a complex space the set of families of linearly -framed affine line bundles on parameterized by . Our main result states that the functor is representable if and only if the map is constant. If this is the case, the space which represents this functor is a linear space over whose underlying set is , where is a Poincaré line bundle normalized at . The main idea idea of the proof is to compare the representability of to the representability of a functor considered by Bingener related to the deformation theory of -cohomology classes. Our arguments show in particular that, for = 1, the converse of Bingener’s representability criterion holds

In this article, a modified fractional internal model control (IMC) filter structure is proposed to design a fractional filter Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FFPID) controller for improved disturbance rejection of second order plus time delay (SOPTD) processes. The proposed method aims at improving the disturbance rejection of slow chemical processes as the tuning rules for such processes are limited. The present design also considers the higher order approximation for time delay as it gives improved response for higher order processes. There is an additional tuning parameter in the proposed IMC filter apart from the conventional IMC filter time constant, which is tuned according to the derived formula. The additional adjustable parameter achieves the disturbance rejection and the closed loop stability. The simulation results have been performed for the same degree of robustness (maximum sensitivity, Ms) for a fair comparison. The results show an improved disturbance rejection for lag dominant and delay significant SOPTD processes with the proposed controllers designed using higher order Pade’s approximation of time delay than the proposed method using first order approximation and the conventional method. The closed loop robust performance is observed for perturbations in the process parameters and the performance is also observed for noise in the measurement. The robust stability analysis is carried out using sensitivity functions. In addition, the Ms range is also identified over which the system gives robust performance for the controllers designed using higher order pade’s approximation of time delay compared to conventional method.
Characterizations of compact operators on ℓp−type fractional sets of sequences
Authors: Özger Faruk
Published: March 2019

Among the sets of sequences studied, difference sets of sequences are probably the most common type of sets. This paper considers some ℓp−type fractional difference sets via the gamma function. Although, we characterize compactness conditions on those sets using the main key of Hausdorff measure of noncompactness, we can only obtain sufficient conditions when the final space is ℓ∞. However, we use some recent results to exactly characterize the classes of compact matrix operators when the final space is the set of bounded sequences.

Background

Terminalia sericea (T. sericea) is traditionally used to treat stomach ailments, infections, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Previous in vitro studies have reported that T. sericea has lipolytic properties. This study interrogated the effects of T. sericea on linear growth, development of fatty liver disease, viscera morphometry and health of growing rats fed a 12% fructose solution (FS).

Methods

Thirty 21-day old male Wistar rat pups were randomly allocated to five treatments: group I - plain gelatine cubes (PGC) + plain tap water (PW), group II - 12% FS + PGC, group III - gelatine cubes containing fenofibrate (Feno) at a dose of 100 mg/kg body + FS, group IV - gelatine cubes containing the low dose (100 mg/kg body mass per day) of the T. sericea extract (TsL) + FS, group V - gelatine cubes containing the high dose (400 mg/kg body mass per day) of the T. sericea extract (TsH) + FS. Following 12 weeks of feeding, the rats were fasted overnight, euthanized and plasma and viscera harvested for analysis.

Results

Consumption of fructose resulted in significantly increased (p<0.05) liver lipid content and caused macrovesicular steatosis. The T. sericea extracts at 400 mg/kg per day suppressed the fructose-induced liver lipid accumulation and macrovesicular steatosis similarly to 100 mg/kg per day of Feno.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that the aqueous T. sericea leaf extract at 400 mg/kg per day could potentially protect against fructose-induced lipid accumulation as well as macrovesicular steatosis.

Authors: Xin Gaifang , Zhu Jun , Luo Chengming , Li Wei
Published: March 2019

Aiming at the characteristic of small amplitude of partial discharge current signal, all-optical fiber current sensing system is designed. Two kinds of optical fiber current sensor structures are proposed, which are linear and reflective. The optical path systems of two kinds of fiber optical current sensor are modeled based on Jones matrix. In addition, the output sensitivities of two structures are compared. The results indicate that the sensitivity of the two current sensor structures can be improved, and the output sensitivity of the reflective fiber optical current sensor is twice as high as that of the linear sensor. At the same time, the complete optical path model of optical fiber sensing system is established under the influence of fiber birefringence errors. Finally, the birefringence errors of sensing fiber are simulated. It is concluded that the reflective fiber optical current sensor can suppress the influence of linear birefringence on the accuracy of the sensing system by introducing a large amount of circular birefringence in the sensing fiber.

Background

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has a high prevalence among patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Although liver biopsy is the gold standard for assessing histopathologic changes in the liver, it is an invasive procedure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on liver enzymes, fibrosis and steatosis scores; ultrasonographic findings; biochemical parameters; and anthropometric measurements in morbidly obese patients with NAFLD.

Methods

Ninety-seven obese patients who underwent LSG were included in this study. Sex, age, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, liver enzymes, ultrasonographic findings and laboratory parameters to calculate fibrosis and steatosis scores were collected before surgery and after 1 year of follow-up.

Results

A total of 88.7% of patients had liver steatosis at the pre-surgical ultrasonographic evaluation and this ratio decreased to 46.4% 1 year after surgery. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and liver fat score (LFS) were significantly higher in patients with steatosis grade III vs. others. There were improvements in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides (TG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose, insulin, BMI, liver enzymes and all NAFLD-related fibrosis and steatosis scores.

Conclusions

HOMA-IR, ALT, LFS and APRI scores can be used for follow-up procedures in morbidly obese patients with NAFLD who underwent LSG.
Mitophagy could fight Parkinson’s disease through antioxidant action
Authors: Di Rita Anthea , Strappazzon Flavie
Published: March 2019

During aging, the process of mitophagy, a system that allows the removal of dysfunctional mitochondria through lysosomal degradation, starts to malfunction. Because of this defect, damaged mitochondria are not removed correctly, and their decomposing components accumulate inside the cells. Dysfunctional mitochondria that are not removed by mitophagy produce high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and, thus, cause oxidative stress. Oxidative stress, in turn, is very harmful for the cells, neuronal cells, in particular. Consequently, the process of mitophagy plays a crucial role in mitochondria-related disease. Mitochondrial dysfunctions and oxidative stress are well-established factors contributing to Parkinson’s disease (PD), one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. In this review, we report various known antioxidants for PD treatments and describe the stimulation of mitophagy process as a novel and exciting method for reducing oxidative stress in PD patients. We describe the different mechanisms responsible for mitochondria removal through the mitophagy process. In addition, we review the functional connection between mitophagy induction and reduction of oxidative stress in several in vitro models of PD and also agents (drugs and natural compounds) already known to be antioxidants and to be able to activate mitophagy. Finally, we propose that there is an urgent need to test the use of mitophagy-inducing antioxidants in order to fight PD.
Relocating the Freak Show: Disability in the Medical Drama
Authors: Wegner Gesine
Published: March 2019

Through an analysis of various negotiations of disability inHouse, M.D. andGrey’s Anatomy, my paper discusses the narrative and non-narrative means that make the medical drama such an appealing genre to contemporary audience members. As the most successful medical dramas of the post-millennial era,House, M.D.andGrey’s Anatomyrely heavily on the exhibition of non-normative bodies, the humorous device of re-naming patients, and the narrative construction of disability as unbearable deviance. While Laura Backstrom locates the freak show in non-fictional television formats like the talk show and documentary, my paper illustrates how the medical drama, although at times highly self-reflexive, has become another pervasive relocation of the freak show into contemporary television. In a close reading ofGrey’s Anatomy, I further demonstrate how the portrayal of a disabled doctor as a series regular both manifests and challenges some of the normative perceptions of the body that the genre relies on.

In der gegenwärtigen Forschung spielt der Vergleich von innerbiblischen Textparallelen sowohl für die synchrone Exegese des Endtextes wie auch für die diachrone Analyse literargeschichtlicher Vorstufen oft nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Der vorliegende Beitrag will anhand einer Darstellung der intertextuellen Beziehungen zwischen Num 32,1–33 und Dtn 3,18–20 und eines Vergleichs von Num 32,1–33 mit Jos 1,12–15 den Nutzen dieses Vorgehens sowohl für die Rekonstruktion literarischer Vorstufen von Texten als auch für die Exegese des Endtextes aufzeigen.
Durch Schriftkenntnis zur Vollkommenheit: Zur Funktion des vielgestaltigen Schriftgebrauchs in 1Kor 2,6–16 und 14,20–25
Authors: Wilk Florian
Published: March 2019

The scriptural interpretation that pervades First Corinthians initiates a process of education and formation among the addressees: They must learn to employ Scripture as a standard for shaping their existence “in Christ.” In this regard, discussions over the meaning of Paul’s letter within the heterogeneous congregation are significant. Such discussions are stimulated through 1Cor 2:6–16 and 14:20–25, passages that lead the readers to a “mature” judgement concerning the gifts of God’s spirit as well as appropriate behaviour. To that end, they appeal to Scripture in a twofold way: First, an explicit citation substantiates Paul’s position in his debate with the Corinthians; second, an oblique reference – which, as soon as it is detected, helps to resolve the ambiguities in his reasoning – brings about agreement between him and those believers who are more familiar with Scripture. Apparently, only sufficient competence in interpreting and applying Scripture paves the way towards spiritual “maturity.”
