Exploring Social Integration of Sport Students during the Transition to University
Authors: Hayman Rick , Allin Linda , Coyles Andrew
Published: June 2017

This paper outlines findings from a study exploring student experiences of their transition and social integration during the first semester of a sport programme at a post 1992 University in the North of England. The study was implemented due to an issue with retention across the sport degree programmes and the knowledge that whilst a student’s decision to withdraw from university is multifaceted, it is influenced by factors relating to a lack of social integration, including homesickness and difficulties in making new friends (Thomas, 2002). A failure or lack of opportunity to socially integrate can also negatively impact the opening months of a student’s university experience (Mackie, 1998; Wilcox, Winn, & Fyvie-Gauld, 2005). Students were engaged as partners and co-creators with academic staff throughout the study: second year peer mentors undertook qualitative interviews with first year students, which focused on the students’ experiences of the transition to university, the importance of social integration, including barriers and facilitators and the role sport may play towards this process. Nine first year students were interviewed. Findings and best practice which may assist academic and support staff in maximising the overall university student experience are presented. Implications to aid effective university policy and practice to improve student retention, attainment and progression are discussed as well as identifying how sport can play a role as both a facilitator and barrier to developing sense of identity and belonging.

Probabilistic approach to performance evaluation of a series-parallel system
Authors: Bala Saminu I. , Yusuf Ibrahim
Published: June 2017

The paper deals with modeling and performance evaluation of a series-parallel system using Markov Birth-Death process and probabilistic approach. The system consists of four subsystems arranged in series-parallel with three possible states, working with full capacity, reduced capacity and failed. Through the transition diagrams, systems of differential equations are developed and solved recursively via probabilistic approach. Explicit expressions for steady-state availability are de-rived. Availability matrices for each subsystem have been developed to provide various performance values for different combinations of failure and repair rates of all subsystems. The results from this paper will enhance the system performance and useful for timely execution of proper maintenance improvement, decision, planning and optimization.
Prediction of blood lead level in maternal and fetal us-ing generalized linear model
Authors: Algamal Zakariya , Ali Haithem
Published: June 2017

Over the past decades, with advanced data collection techniques, a different type of data continues to appear in various biological, sciences, medical, social, and economical studies. Statistical modeling is essential in many scientific research areas because it explains the relationship between the response variable of interest and a number of explanatory variables. Generalized linear models (GLMs) are generalization of the linear regression models, which allow fitting regression models to response variable that is non normal and follows a general exponential family. The aim of this study is to encourage and initiate the application of GLMs to predict the maternal and fetal blood-lead level. The inverse Gaussian distribution with inverse quadratic link function is considered. Four main effects were significant in the prediction of the maternal blood-lead level (pica, smoking of mother, dairy products intake of mother, calcium intake of mother), while in the prediction of the fetal blood-lead level, two main effects showed significance (dairy products intake of mother and hemoglobin of mother).
Detection and classification of thyroid nodule using Shearlet coefficients and support vector machine
Authors: S. Nanda , M. Sukumar
Published: June 2017

Thyroid nodules have diversified internal components and dissimilar echo patterns in ultrasound images. Textural features are used to characterize these echo patterns. This paper presents a classification scheme that uses shearlet transform based textural features for the classification of thyroid nodules in ultrasound images. The study comprised of 60 thyroid ultrasound images (30 with benign nodules and 30 with malignant nodules). Total of 22 features are extracted. Support vector machine (SVM) and K nearest neighbor (KNN) are used to differentiate benign and malignant nodules. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, F1_score and accuracy of both the classifiers are calculated. A comparative study has been carried out with respect to their performances. The sensitivity of SVM with radial basis function (RBF) kernel is 100% as compared to that of KNN with 96.33%. The proposed features can increase the accuracy of the classifier and decrease the rate of misdiagnosis in thyroid nodule classification.
A heuristic to predict the optimal pattern-growth direction for the pattern growth-based sequential pattern mining approach
Authors: Edith Belise Kenmogne , Roger Nkambou , Calvin Tadmon , Nguifo Engelbert Mephu
Published: June 2017

Sequential pattern mining is an efficient technique for discovering recurring structures or patterns from very large datasets, with a very large field of applications. It aims at extracting a set of attributes, shared across time among a large number of objects in a given database. Previous studies have developed two major classes of sequential pattern mining methods, namely, the candidate generation-and-test approach based on either vertical or horizontal data formats represented respectively by GSP and SPADE, and the pattern-growth approach represented by FreeSpan, PrefixSpan and their further extensions. The performances of these algorithms depend on how patterns grow. Because of this, we introduce a heuristic to predict the optimal pattern-growth direction, i.e. the pattern-growth direction leading to the best performance in terms of runtime and memory usage. Then, we perform a number of experimentations on both real-life and synthetic datasets to test the heuristic. The performance analysis of these experimentations show that the heuristic prediction is reliable in general.
Segregation and inequality in Chicago Public Schools, transformed and intensified under corporate education reform
Authors: Jankov Pavlyn , Caref Carol
Published: June 2017

During the period of 1981 to 2015, the total population of Black students in CPS plummeted from close to 240,000, 60% of all CPS students, to 156,000 or 39% of CPS. This paper documents how despite their decreasing numbers and percentage in the system, the vast majority of Black students remained isolated in predominantly low-income Black schools that also became the target of destabilizing corporate reforms and experimentation. This study examines the historic and contemporary dual segregation of Black teachers and Black students in Chicago Public Schools, and how mass school closures, privatization, and corporate school reform have both transformed and deepened segregation and resource-inequity across Chicago's schools.
The landscape of education “reform” in Chicago: Neoliberalism meets a grassroots movement
Authors: Lipman Pauline
Published: June 2017

This article examines the dialectics of Chicago’s neoliberal education policies and the grassroots resistance that parents, teachers, and students have mounted against them. Grounding the analysis in racial capitalism and neoliberal urban restructuring, I discuss interconnections between neoliberal urban policy, racism, and education to clarify what is at stake for communities resisting Chicago’s policies. The paper describes deep and pervasive racial inequities, school closings, privatization, and disenfranchisement driving organized opposition and the labor-community alliance at the center of organized resistance. I argue that neoliberal education policy is racialized state violence, and education is a battleground for racial justice and Black self-determination. I conclude with observations on Chicago’s experience so far that might be useful in other contexts.
On early metallurgy and textile-production technologies in the southern Levant: a response to Langgutet al.(2016)
Authors: Ben-Yosef Erez , Shamir Orit , Levy Janet
Published: June 2017

In a recent article published in this journal, Langgutet al.(2016: 973) proposed five Late Chalcolithic (c. 4300–4000 BC) wooden shafts to be “the earliest Near Eastern wooden spinning implements”. Here we discuss these unique finds in light of their cultural and technological contexts, and suggest an alternative interpretation according to which these wooden shafts, one with a lead macehead lodged on its upper end, were components of the cultic practices of the southern Levantine Ghassulian culture.
An Acheulean biface from the Deh Luran Plain, Iran
Authors: Zeynivand Mohsen
Published: June 2017

In 1960, Robert Braidwood discovered, by chance, an Acheulean biface at Gakia, Kermanshah Province, in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran (Braidwood 1960). Since then, only around ten Lower Palaeolithic sites have been identified on the Iranian Plateau, most of which are open-air sites (see Biglari & Shidrang 2006). Despite growing interest in the Palaeolithic of Iran over the past decade, studies generally continue to focus on particular sites and are largely concerned with the technology and typology of raw materials. A major problem for studies of the Lower Palaeolithic, in particular, is the rarity of cave sites, making it very difficult to study the behaviour of the early hominids through excavation. This paper reports the discovery of an Acheulean biface during a survey of the Deh Luran Plain to the south of the plateau, adding to the picture of human dispersal during the Pleistocene.
On the Late Pliocene stone tools of the Quranwala Zone, north-west sub-Himalayas, India
Authors: Soni Vidwan Singh , Soni Anujot Singh
Published: June 2017

A recent study of the Quranwala Zone (QZ) of the north-west sub-Himalayas, India, presents evidence for anthropic activity during the Pliocene that includes a number of stone tools found in association with fossil animal bones with cut marks. Based on the date of the Pliocene rock outcrop, the tools and bones are suggested to date from 2.6 Ma (Gaillard et al. 2016). There is, however, a question mark over the context of these tools within an outcrop of Pliocene rocks and, hence, over the date of these tools and the fossil bones. The trench from which they were excavated at Masol 2 (Gaillard et al.2016: fig. 3) lies in a depression at the bottom of a slope; the description provided in section 2 of the paper by Gaillard et al. (2016) suggests that the stone tools may not have been in situ within the Pliocene levels, but had accumulated there and were mixed with the fragments of fossil bone due to geological processes. Moreover, many of the stone tools, such as the ‘simple choppers’ found in association with the fossil animal bones (Gaillard et al.2016: figs 6, 8, 9), are usually found on much more recent sites and are therefore unlikely to date from 2.6 Ma.
Threats to the archaeological sites of Egypt: a response to Fradley and Sheldrick
Authors: Parcak Sarah
Published: June 2017

We appreciate Michael Fradley and Nichole Sheldrick's response to our 2016 Antiquity paper. They claim that our results are “potentially misleading”, that there is an incorrect “emphasis on looting as the most significant problem facing Egypt's heritage” and that our prediction model is flawed. Our paper, however, clearly focuses on the major population centre of Egypt—the Nile Valley and Delta regions—where the bulk of the archaeological sites are located. This is a basic Egyptological fact.
Londoners enticed and engrossed

The Crossrail Project is building railways through London between Essex and Kent in the east and Acton in the west: the Elizabeth Line. In anticipation of remains at the sites of new stations and ancillary structures, more than 200 archaeologists investigated the route between 2009 and 2016. Now London's Docklands Museum is showing about 500 of the many thousands of finds in ‘Tunnel’. At the same time, the exhibition describes how archaeological research and recording works.
EDITORIAL
Authors: Scarre Chris
Published: June 2017

Protecting heritage is a mission to which all archaeologists will readily subscribe. How best to do so is a more difficult question. We cannot simply fossilise the past; nor (most would agree) should we commodify it, converting it into monetary values that are open to buying and selling. It has a value that goes beyond that: one that makes World Heritage Sites “parts of the cultural and natural heritage [. . .] of outstanding interest and [that] therefore need to be preserved as part of the world heritage of mankind as a whole”.

Pesantren and Re-creation of Islamic Knowledge through Qur’anic School System Focusing on Teacher Training Education
Authors: Astuti Wiji , KUSAKABE Tatsuya
Published: June 2017

Abstract Pesantren and Qur’anic school are prominent educational pioneers in the largest Muslim populated country, Indonesia. Qur’anic school is the oldest education system, which later inspired the birth of traditional Islamic boarding schools or pesantren that have been growing so rapidly and giving unique characteristics of Islamic education practice throughout of the country. Nowadays Qur’anic schools are almost everywhere in cities and villages, providing Qur’anic reading lesson for Muslim children and educating them to be pious generation based on Qur’an and Hadist. At present, Pesantren has reformed its roles not only serving Islamic education for ordinary villagers, the sons of the middle-class Muslims, and aspiring religious scholars, but also functioning as center of trainings for Qur’anic schools teachers. Although Qur’anic schools and Pesantren are always popular, researches about them remain few. This study uncovered the role of Pesantren at semi-urban rural area of Banjarnegara Regency in Central Java in Qiro’ati and Iqro Qur’anic teacher training education as well as described the process of reconstruction of Islamic knowledge by Qur’anic school teachers. It was found out that there were three steps of reconstruction of knowledge, namely filtering, adaptation, and implementation. Abstrak Pesantren dan sekolah berlandaskan Al-Qur’an adalah pionir utama dalam dunia pendidikan di negara dengan populasi muslim terbesar, Indonesia. Sekolah berlandaskan Al-Qur’an adalah sistem pendidikan tertua, dikemudian hari menginspirasi lahirnya Pesantren tradisional yang kemudian tumbuh pesat dan memberikan warna yang khas dalam pendidikan Islam di seluruh negeri. Saat ini sekolah berbasi Al-Qur’an dapat ditemukan di hampir seluruh kota dan desa, memberikan pembelajaran Al-Qur’an bagi anak-anak muslim dan mendidik mereka untuk menjadi generasi yang taat berlandaskan Al-Qur’an dan Hadits. Saat ini, Pesantren telah mereformasi peran mereka tidak hanya melayani pendidikan Islam bagi masyarakat awam di pedesaan, kaum muslim kelas menengah, dan menghasilkan cendekiawan muslim, tapi juga berfungsi sebagai pusat pelatihan guru-guru Al-Qur’an di sekolah. Walauapun sekolah berbasis Al-Qur’an dan pesantren selalu popular, penelitian mengenai hal tersebut masih tergolong sedikit. Penelitian ini memaparkan peran pesantren di daerah semi-urban di daerah Banjarnegara Jawa tengah di dalam pelatihan guru di Qiro’ati dan Iqro Quranic dan juga menjelaskan proses rekonstruksi keilmuan Islam oleh para pengajar di sekolah berlandaskan Al-Qur’an. Diketahui bahwa ada tiga tahapan rekonstruksi keilmuan Islam, antara lain penyaringan, adaptasi dan implementasi. How to Cite : Astuti, W. Kusakabe, T. (2016).

*** Evaluation of clinical governance interventions on qualification of care and supply of beds in a large public hospital ***AIMS: To describe the results achieved in hospital performance indicators and supply of beds, with the strategy of incorporating clinical management into the care process of the backup unit of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Hospital.METHODS: The study was carried out in the backup unit of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Hospital, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The backup unit is an inpatient hospital with beds intended for hospital emergency patients characterized by short stay (less than 10 days of hospitalization) and in the study period it had 27 beds. As clinic management tools we implemented multidisciplinary reference teams and multidisciplinary rounds, established a Kanban system to monitor mean length of stay, and introduced the unique therapeutic project at the hospital entrance (emergency room) and management of beds by the Internal Regulation Center. We monitored the hospital indicators number of hospitalizations, mean length of stay, resolvability, mortality rate and turnover rate over a period of 12 months (2016, after implementation of the strategy) and made comparisons with the same period of the previous year. RESULTS: After the introduction of Clinic Management, there was an increase in the number of hospitalizations from 1395 to 1537/year. There were 1240 discharges to home (an average of 104 a month), showing an increase of 101.9% in relation to the previous period. There was also a decrease in the number of internal transfers (between the back unit and other sectors of the hospital), an increase in the turnover rate from 51.6 to 56.9, decrease in the mean stay time of 7.2 days to 6.6 days and a significant decrease in the mortality rate from 3.5 to 0.7 (p <0.05).CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of clinical management in the context of care work in the hospital's backup bed unit fostered improvements in care processes, as well as ensuring greater supply of beds to users.
Conflitos entre vendedores ambulantes de leite in natura e donos de laticínios na cidade de Campo Grande (décadas de 1960-70)
Authors: Moro Nataniél Dal
Published: June 2017

Este artigo focaliza a história da cidade de Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil, entre as décadas de 1960-70, recuperando questões pouco abordadas na historiografia local. Tendo como fonte privilegiada o impresso Correio do Estado, intentou-se estudar alguns aspectos dos conflitos travados entre setores da elite local e integrantes do povo comum. Entendemos que as matérias publicadas no periódico Correio do Estado não mostram propriamente a história da cidade de Campo Grande, tampouco da maioria dos agentes que nela estavam. Antes, esse conjunto de fontes externa com riqueza de detalhes a história da atuação política desse meio de comunicação. À época, o impresso questionou e, ainda, desqualificou as atividades realizadas pelos leiteiros ambulantes na cidade de Campo Grande. Ao mesmo tempo, defendeu abertamente a política de industrialização do leite in natura.
A educação estética da Nação e a “Campanha do Bom Gosto” de António Ferro (1940-1949)
Authors: Ribeiro Carla
Published: June 2017

A “Campanha do Bom Gosto” foi colocada em marcha por António Ferro, director do Secretariado de Propaganda Nacional, em 1940, no seguimento das Comemorações Centenárias então realizadas, constituindo uma iniciativa cultural cujo propósito assumido era o de criar uma consciência estética entre os portugueses. Abarcando intervenções e iniciativas muito diversas, procurou instituir um modelo estético que criasse uma fachada para a Nação, apresentando-a como um país civilizado, por oposição a um país de revoluções, simultaneamente moderno e tradicional. Este artigo procura analisar essa campanha, fruto de um contexto político autoritário e ditatorial, o Estado Novo, saber quais as suas origens, formatos e intenções e descobrir que marcas deixou no Portugal democrático do século XXI e na sua identidade.
O cenário esportivo como arena de disputas políticas: entre a memória recitada e o apagamento de rastros
Authors: Fontineles Claudia Cristina da Silva
Published: June 2017

O presente texto discute em que medida dois elementos da vida esportiva do Piauí – o estádio de futebol “Albertão” e o time de futebol Tiradentes – foram tratados como acionadores na disputa entre os dois grupos políticos majoritários no cenário político piauiense, entre as décadas de 1970 e 1980. Tratados como insígnias do primeiro governo de Alberto Silva (1971-1975), foram aplaudidos por seus aliados como sinônimo da inscrição do estado em um contexto de prosperidade e da euforia desenvolvimentista, consonante com o cenário político em vigência no Brasil em tempos de Ditadura Civil-Militar, e rechaçados por seus oponentes por serem considerados a reafirmação da presença deste governo na história e na memória da sociedade piauiense. Neste artigo, discutimos como essas disputas manifestaram-se nas disputas políticas estabelecidas entre estes grupos e inscreveram-se no cotidiano e na memória social local. Para tanto, foram analisados como fontes históricas documentos oficiais, jornais de circulação no período, além das fotografias usadas pelo governo em suas correspondências oficiais e de relatos orais, que, à luz da interlocução teórica com Michel de Certeau, Réne Rémond, Paul Ricoeur, Paul Veyne, Michel Pollak, entre outros, contribuíram para a elucidação analítica da temática.
Propaganda ditatorial e invasão do cotidiano: a ditadura militar em perspectiva comparada*
Authors: Schneider Nina
Published: June 2017

As ditaduras do século XX usaram máquinas de propaganda distintas para justificar o seu poder ilegal. Durante o nazismo e o stalinismo, por exemplo, foram montados grandes sistemas de propaganda, envolvidos tanto na produção quanto na censura de conteúdo, que, em conjunto com outras medidas políticas (repressão violenta, vigilância, organizações de participação obrigatória, etc.), visaram a mobilizar as massas em favor do regime e silenciar qualquer tipo de oposição política. Durante o Estado Novo (1937-45), também foi montado um aparato amplo no Brasil, que tentou reforçar a sensação da união entre o suposto líder, Getúlio Vargas, e o povo (mais especificamente o trabalhador urbano) – o chamado Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda (DIP). Tomando como foco de análise a ditadura militar brasileira (1964-1985) e oferecendo uma primeira aproximação, esta contribuição investiga como a propaganda oficial – ou o órgão responsável pelas campanhas oficiais – influenciou a vida cotidiana dos cidadãos brasileiros e até que ponto o regime tentou invadir a vida privada. Revisando a pesquisa atual, este artigo pergunta: quem foi influenciado e por quais meios? O que sabemos sobre o efeito das campanhas? É possível perceber que, muito diferentemente da ditadura nazista e varguista, o regime militar operou um órgão de propaganda oficial pequeno, que rejeitou uma estratégia de politizar e mobilizar o cidadão brasileiro, bem como de invadir a sua vida cotidiana de maneira tão agressiva. Pelo contrário: apoiou-se a iniciativa privada e o livre-mercado como pilares fundamentais do sistema capitalista. Com a contratação de produtores do mercado cinematográfico, campanhas oficiais com um caráter desmobilizador e aparentemente apolítico foram elaboradas.
Sociabilidad y vida cotidiana. Los rituales del festejo de amistad durante el stronismo en Paraguay
Authors: Soler Lorena
Published: June 2017

“La Cruzada Mundial de la Amistad” é uma organização civil fundada em 20 de junho de 1958 pelo médico Ramón Artemio Bracho em Puerto Pinasco (Chaco, Paraguai), desenvolvida sob a égide do regime stronista (1954-1989) e de diferentes agências internacionais. A Cruzada, desde suas práticas altruístas, procurou recriar uma sociabilidade política a partir da ritualização da celebração da amizade no âmbito ideológico da Guerra Fria. A este respeito, o artigo procura investigar, através da pesquisa da imprensa escrita da época e do órgão de divulgação da organização (a revista Yuacjhu), a recriação da vida diária com o objetivo de gerar adesões à ordem autoritária stronista. A nossa intenção é contribuir para o estudo de como as ideologias das ordens políticas de direita permearam as práticas cotidianas dos sujeitos e deram sentido às ações de diferentes registros da vida social.
Os Vandrés do sertão: música sertaneja, ufanismo e reconstruções da memória na redemocratização
Authors: Ferreira Gustavo Alves Alonso
Published: June 2017

A música sertaneja foi, em grande parte, embora não somente, marcada pelo apoio ao regime ditatorial inaugurado em 1964. Assim como a quase totalidade dos gêneros musicais brasileiros, muitos artistas sertanejos apoiaram ufanistamente o regime. Este artigo visa mostrar como os músicos sertanejos reconstruíram sua relação com a memória do período ditatorial, especialmente a partir dos anos 1980, quando se engajaram no processo de redemocratização, apagando laços com o passado apologeta. Mesmo fazendo tal percurso comum a quase totalidade da sociedade brasileira, os sertanejos não conseguiram ser vistos como artistas “politizados” e permaneceram com a pecha de “adesistas” por longos anos, tema que será problematizado neste artigo.
Sociabilidade, memórias e valores compartilhados: o cotidiano na Academia Brasileira de Letras durante a ditadura militar
Authors: Cunha Diogo
Published: June 2017

Este artigo pretende analisar em que medida a Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL) serviu como instância de legitimação para a ditadura militar brasileira. Concentramos nossa análise nas práticas cotidianas da ABL a fim de restituir a complexidade e a ambiguidade das suas relações com regime que se instaurou em 1964. Assim, examinamos as visitas que os acadêmicos recebiam e os discursos feitos pelos anfitriões e convidados nessa ocasião; os votos de pesar dirigidos pelos acadêmicos aos familiares de personalidades que haviam falecido; e os valores enaltecidos na construção de uma memória dos grandes homens. A análise mostrou que a ABL concorreu a legitimar o regime instaurado em 1964 através de uma intensa sociabilidade entre os “imortais” e os representantes do regime, assim como pela difusão de valores compartilhados entre eles, especificamente os de patriotismo e de civismo.
Violencia política, dictadura militar y memoria. La Argentina de los años setenta y ochenta a partir del Archivo Marshall T. Meyer
Authors: Carassai Sebastián
Published: June 2017

O rabino norte-americano Marshall Meyer foi uma figura destacada da comunidade judaica-argentina e um defensor pioneiro dos direitos humanos durante a última ditadura militar (1976-1983). Nos últimos anos, seu arquivo pessoal foi incorporado ao Arquivo de Direitos Humanos da David M. Rubenstein Library, a Biblioteca de Manuscritos e Livros Raros da Universidade de Duke. A partir de seus sermões, discursos, correspondências pessoais e profissionais, escritos, entrevistas e material áudio-visual, este trabalho reconstrói sua trajetória na Argentina, focando especificamente nos anos de radicalização política, na repressão, e nos primeiros anos pós-ditadura. O artigo começa com a chegada de Meyer à Argentina, no ano de 1959, descrevendo sua impressão sobre a sociedade que o recebeu e a relação entre sociedade e judaísmo que buscou imprimir em suas instituições. Logo, se centra em sua percepção em relação ao peronismo, na violência política que caracterizou a primeira metade da década de setenta, no compromisso que assumiu com os direitos humanos na segunda metade e, finalmente, na construção de uma primeira memória, nos anos oitenta, sobre a ditadura que começava a ficar no passado. O caminho assim traçado abre um registro íntimo, individual e em alguns momentos também comunitário, dos anos de violência política, ditadura militar e a transição à democracia.

Új, epicutan módszer az allergia oki kezelésére
Authors: Endre László
Published: June 2017

Abstract:

The only causal treatment for the allergic diseases is the allergen immunotherapy. Besides oral and injection forms, an epicutaneous form is known as well. During the immunization process the use of an adjuvant material is advisable besides the allergen. That adjuvant material can be (besides of the aluminium hydroxid and tyrosine) a bacterial toxin, too. In idealistic circumstances we can substitute the native allergen with its recombinant variant, which could keep its immunogenicity but had lost the allergenicity. In the future the recommended therapy could be the safe, painless, epicutaneous hyposensitization, with recombinant allergens, with bacterial toxin as adjuvants. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(23): 895–899.

Abstract:

Introduction and aim: The prevalence of child sexual abuse is 12–13% worldwide (18% by girls, 8% by boys). The exact knowledge of sexual abuse and the spread of the adequate medical diagnosis is an essential medical, social and national requirement. In our present study we examine the medical diagnosis of female child sexual abuse. Method: Selective literature research in the available international and domestic databases. Results: Majority of children assessed for suspected sexual abuse have normal genital and anal findings. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of child sexual abuse is a chronic multiple event, caused by a family member. The task of the medical staff is difficult and various, due to the diagnostic challenges of child sexual abuse. The difficulties of the medical diagnosis, evaluation and therapy, the complexity of the legal proceedings and prosecution, the isolation of the profession and the victim and the issue treated like a taboo subject often lead to failure. Conclusion: The physicians dealing with children have suboptimal knowledge of child sexual abuse, the characteristics of victims and perpetretors, the medical diagnosis and therapy of sexual abuse and the rehabilitation of victims.

Commuting graph C(G) of a non-Abelian group G is a graph that contains all elements of G as its vertex set and two distinct vertices in C(G) will be adjacent if they are commute in G. In this paper we discuss commuting graph of dihedral group D2n. We show radius, diameter, cycle multiplicity, and metric dimension of this commuting graph in several theorems with their proof.
PEMODELAN STATUS USAHA (PENGUSAHA DAN PEKERJA/KARYAWAN) MENGGUNAKAN REGRESI LOGISTIK MULTILEVEL
Authors: Yulian Eko
Published: June 2017

Tingkat perekonomian suatu negara berbanding lurus dengan jumlah pengusaha/enterpreneur di dalam negara tersebut. Menurut standar bank dunia jumlah pengusaha/enterpreneur ideal suatu negara adalah paling sedikit 4% dari total jumlah penduduk. Berdasarkan data dari Himpunan Pengusaha Muda Indonesia (HIPMI), jumlah pengusaha di Indonesia baru sekitar 1,5 %. Tentu saja bukan hal yang mudah untuk mencapai jumlah ideal berdasarkan standar bank dunia yaitu 4%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor apa saja yang mendorong seseorang dalam menentukan karir sebagai pengusaha atau bukan (pekerja/karyawan). Data yang digunakan adalah data Adult Population Survey (APS) tahun 2013 yang dilakukan oleh Global Enterpreneurship Monitor (GEM). survey dilakukan terhadap 16 provinsi , 51 kabupaten/kota dan 176 kecamatan. Data yang dihasilkan bersifat hierarki sehingga akan dilakukan pemodelan menggunakan regresi logistik multilevel. Variabel yang diteliti adalah variabel status usaha (Y), variabel knowent (X1), variabel opport(X2), variabel suskill (X3), variabel fearfail (X4) ,variabel gender (X5) pada level 1 dan variabel kecamatan pada level 2. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa model regresi logistik 2-level menghasilkan model yang lebih baik daripada model regresi logistik biasa. Berdasarkan hasil pemodelan diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa semua variabel prediktor (knowent, opport, suskill, fearfail, gender) berpengaruh terhadap status usaha seseorang.

Opsi adalah kontrak antara holder dan writer dimana writer memberikan hak (bukan kewajiban) kepada holder untuk membeli atau menjual aset dari writer dengan harga tertentu (strike price) dan pada waktu yang telah ditentukan dimasa datang (maturity time). Opsi Asia termasuk pada opsi path dependent. Artinya payoff opsi Asia tidak hanya bergantung pada harga saham saat maturity time saja, tetapi merupakan rata-rata harga saham selama masa jatuh temponya dan disimbolkan (average). Monte Carlo pada dasarnya digunakan sebagai prosedur numerik untuk menaksir nilai ekspektasi pricing product derivative. Teknik yang digunakan adalah Monte Carlo standar dan reduksi varians. Hasilnya diperoleh harga opsi Asia call dan put untuk kedua teknik dengan selang kepercayaan 95%. Teknik reduksi varians terlihat lebih cepat memperkecil selang kepercayaan 95% dibandingkan metode standar.

The purpose of this study was to look at seasonal patterns in the data of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) quarterly in the year 2000-2016 and the implementation of Singular Spectral Analysis (SSA) in the data of GDP to predict the data of GDP in 2017. The SSA method used is the method of recurrent forecasting with bootstrap confidence interval to look at its beliefs of the interval. The source of data derived from the data of GDP in 2000-2016 with the base year in 2000 compiled by the Central Statistics Agency (CSA). The results showed that the SSA method can be used as a reliable method and can be valid that view from the value of MAPE size is 0.82 and the size of the tracking signal at -4.00.
Integrating humanities curricula in medical education: a needs assessment
Authors: Taylor Anna , Lehmann Susan , Chisolm Margaret
Published: June 2017

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background: Medicine's increasing technologic complexities can constrain medical learners' development of patient-centered communication skills, which can adversely impact patient outcomes. Although humanities-based clinical education interventions encourage reflective practice and promote the practice of holistic patient care, it remains unclear which educational interventions are the most effective. Methods: A search was conducted in PubMed, utilising the terms 'humanities', 'humanism', 'art', 'medicine', 'narrative medicine', and 'medical education' to identify relevant English-language articles. Discussion with experts yielded further titles, such that 156 articles were reviewed and summarised, with particular focus on those describing novel curricular interventions. Results: 108/156 (69%) of the articles were commentaries or reflective papers; 48/156 (31%) reported on curricular interventions. Of the latter, the majority incorporated literature or ethics, typically delivered in small-group format. Only ten interventions included impact assessment measures beyond learner satisfaction. Five of these used qualitative evaluations, three used quantitative scales, and two used both. Discussion: Humanities-based curricular interventions with a focus on literature or ethics were more common than those involving the visual or performing arts. Among the studies that evaluated these curricular interventions, the majority employed qualitative measures. Collaborative teaching between clinicians, arts educators and patients may be considered in order to bridge the gap between science and humanities.

ABSTRACT Health self-perception is a strong indicator of the health of a population. Objective To investigate the association between self-perceived health, and sociodemographic and clinical factors in a sample of elderly outpatients in Rio de Janeiro. Methods A sample of 345 elderly patients was assessed with an anamnesis, Lawton and Brody’s Scale, Katz Index, Geriatric Depression Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, and Study of Osteoporotic Fracture Index. Logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the predictors of self-perceived health. Results Risk of falls, frailty, functional performance on the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, insomnia, and familial support were related to self-perceived health. Insomnia was the variable that strongly influenced self-perceived health (OR = 0.47, CI 95%: 0.28–0.80, p = 0.01) in our sample. Conclusions The investigation of insomnia in the elderly should be routinely performed in primary care, because of the negative impact it imposes on the health of this population.

ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the endoscopic transsphenoidal technique for growth hormone (GH)-secreting adenomas. Methods A retrospective analysis based on medical records of 23 acromegalic patients submitted to endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. Biochemical control was defined as basal GH < 1ng/ml, nadir GH < 0.4ng/ml after glucose load and age-adjusted IGF-1 normal at the last follow-up. Results The overall endocrinological remission rate was 39.1%. While all microademonas achieved a cure, just one third of macroadenomas went into remission. Suprasellar extension, cavernous sinus invasion and high GH levels were associated with lower rates of disease control. The most common complication was diabetes insipidus and the most severe was an ischemic stroke. Conclusion The endoscopic transsphenoidal approach is a safe and effective technique to control GH-secreting adenomas. The transcavernous approach may increase the risk of complications. Suprasellar and cavernous sinus extensions may preclude gross total resection of these tumors.

Published: June 2017

ABSTRACT Objective To analyse the relationship between the social support network (SSN) and health related quality of life (HRQOL) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Methods The sample comprised 150 consecutive MS patients attending our MS clinic. To assess the socio-demographic data, a specifically designed questionnaire was applied. The HRQOL dimensions were measured with the Short-Form Health Survey Questionnaire-SF36 and the SSN with the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey. Spearman’s correlation was used to compare the magnitude of the relationship between the SSN and HRQOL. Results The mean patient age was 41.7 years (± 10.4; range: 18–70 yr); the mean Expanded Disability Status Score was 2.5 (±2.4; range: 0–9). There was a statistically significant correlation between the structure of the SSN and the HRQOL. Conclusion The composition of the SSN, social group membership and participation in voluntary work have an important role in the HRQOL of patients with MS.

ABSTRACT We report an analysis of the cranial venous sinuses circulation, emphasizing morphological and angiographic characteristics. Methods Data of 100 cerebral angiographies were retrospectively analyzed (p = 0.05). Results Mean age was 56.3 years, 62% female and 38% male. Measurements and dominance are shown in the Tables. There was no association between age or gender and dominance. Right parasagittal division of the superior sagittal sinus was associated with right dominance of the transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus and internal jugular vein; and left parasagittal division of the superior sagittal sinus was associated with left dominance of the transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus and internal jugular vein. Conclusion A dominance pattern of cranial venous sinuses was found. Age and gender did not influence this pattern. Angiographic findings, such as division of the superior sagittal sinus, were associated with a pattern of cranial venous dominance. We hope this article can add information and assist in preoperative venous analysis for neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists.

Published: June 2017

Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la percepción que poseen los agentes sanitarios sobre el ofrecimiento de la autotoma del test de VPH a las mujeres y el grado de acuerdo de los agentes para incorporarla a sus tareas diarias. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta auto-administrada a 127/191 agentes sanitarios que participaron del Proyecto EMA (Proyecto Evaluación Modalidad Autotoma), llevado a cabo en la provincia de Jujuy (Argentina) entre 2012-2013. Los agentes sanitarios que tuvieron y no la experiencia de ofrecer la autotoma manifestaron un alto grado de acuerdo para la adopción de la estrategia (78,7%), dado su potencial para prevenir el cáncer cervicouterino y los aportes que brinda al cuidado de la salud de las mujeres bajo su cobertura. Sin embargo, señalaron la sobrecarga de trabajo y los problemas de articulación con el sistema formal de salud, como los principales obstáculos para ofrecer esta modalidad en el futuro. Este estudio encontró que la autotoma es una práctica que puede ser adoptada por los agentes sanitarios de la provincia de Jujuy, pero debe ir acompañada de acciones de apoyo por parte del sistema de salud formal.
