An ethical relationship with pharma
Authors: Bhattacharyya Sarmishtha , Benbow Susan Mary
Published: June 2018

This brief article reflects on the relationship between psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies (pharma), which continues to generate debate and concerns. We suggest that psychiatrists should consider both the biomedical ethical principles and how values guide actions and clinical decision-making in their dealings with pharma. In addition, the Royal College of Psychiatrists should err towards eschewing influences that might be regarded by others as distorting its position, and individual psychiatrists should declare interests that others might regard as competing/conflicting in order to maintain the trust of patients and the public.

DECLARATION OF INTEREST

S.M.B. practises as an independent systemic psychotherapist. Both authors have undertaken various roles within the Royal College of Psychiatrists and S.B. is involved in recruiting patients for clinical trials.

Hobbit regulates intracellular trafficking to drive insulin-dependent growth duringDrosophiladevelopment
Authors: Neuman Sarah D. , Bashirullah Arash
Published: June 2018

All animals must coordinate growth rate and timing of maturation to reach the appropriate final size. Here, we describe hobbit, a novel and conserved gene identified in a forward genetic screen for Drosophila animals with small body size. hobbit is highly conserved throughout eukaryotes, but its function remains unknown. We demonstrate that hobbit mutant animals have systemic growth defects because they fail to secrete insulin. Other regulated secretion events also fail in hobbit mutant animals, including mucin-like ‘glue’ protein secretion from the larval salivary glands. hobbit mutant salivary glands produce glue-containing secretory granules that are reduced in size. Importantly, secretory granules in hobbit mutant cells lack essential membrane fusion machinery required for exocytosis, including Synaptotagmin 1 and the SNARE SNAP-24. These membrane fusion proteins instead accumulate inside enlarged late endosomes. Surprisingly, however, the Hobbit protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. Our results suggest that Hobbit regulates a novel step in intracellular trafficking of membrane fusion proteins. Our studies also suggest that genetic control of body size, as a measure of insulin secretion, is a sensitive functional readout of the secretory machinery.
Case Report: Large ileal intramural hematoma presenting as an intestinal obstruction in a patient on Warfarin with incidental breast cancer
Authors: Alizadeh Forutan Maryam , Mojarad Fereshteh Araghian , Rahmani Nasrin
Published: June 2018

Intramural hematoma of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which can present as abdominal pain or obstruction, can be a rare complication of oral anticoagulants, in particular Warfarin. In this case report, we describe an 81-year-old female patient presenting with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting with a previous history of rectorrhagia. The patient was receiving Warfarin therapy due to cardiac valve replacement for the past 8 years. Laboratory workup revealed elevated INR and anemia. Diagnosis of ileal intramural hematoma was based on ultrasound and CT scan findings. The patient was treated by conservative approaches including administration of fresh frozen plasma, cessation of oral intake, and fluid resuscitation. In CT images, a mass on the left breast and lymphadenopathy on the left axilla were also noticed. Given that most GI intramural hematomas caused by over-anticoagulation are treated non-surgically, considering a patient's drug history, especially in older patients with abdominal pain and obstruction symptoms, is of particular importance.
Areca nut extract demonstrated apoptosis-inducing mechanism by increased caspase-3 activities on oral squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Sari Liza Meutia , Subita Gus Permana , Auerkari Elza Ibrahim
Published: June 2018

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a neoplasm of keratinocyte cells of oral mucosa epithelium that can potentially spread through lymphatic tissue or blood vessel. Although areca nut is one of the plants with risk of inducing that cancer, areca nut is believed to have high antioxidant properties. Due to the current interest in the apoptosis effects from areca nut for oral cancer treatment, we investigated its ability to induce apoptosis and caspase-3 activity in oral cancer cell lines: HSC-2 and HSC-3.

Methods: We examined the effect of areca nut on apoptosis and caspase-3 activity in HSC-2 and HSC-3 cells. Flow cytometry was conducted for the quantification of the cells that were apoptotic and expressing the caspase-3 enzyme for 24 and 48 hours.

Results: Areca nut induced a significant increase (p<0.01) in late apoptosis of HSC-2 cells and mostly occurred over 48 hours. The study also found that in HSC-3, there were significant increases (p<0.01) the percentage of cells in early apoptosis after 24 hours and late apoptosis at 48 hours. Caspase-3 activity increased after 24 and 48 hours of areca nut exposure in both cells.

Conclusions: The study showed that areca nut could be considered as a potential anticancer agent through its capability in inducing a caspase-dependent apoptosis.
A cross-sectional study of the use and effectiveness of the Individual Development Plan among doctoral students
Authors: Vanderford Nathan L. , Evans Teresa M. , Weiss L. Todd , Bira Lindsay , Beltran-Gastelum Jazmin
Published: June 2018

Background: The Individual Development Plan (IDP) was introduced as a tool to aid in career planning for doctoral trainees. Despite the National Institutes of Health and academic institutions creating policies that mandate the use of IDPs, little information exists regarding the actual use and effectiveness of the career planning tool.

Methods: We conducted a multi-institutional, online survey to measure IDP use and effectiveness. The survey was distributed to potential respondents via social media and direct email. IDP survey questions were formatted using a five-point Likert scale (strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree and strongly disagree). For data analysis purposes, responses were grouped into two categories (agree versus does not agree/disagree). The data were summarized as one-way frequencies and the Pearson Chi-square test was used to determine statistical significance.

Results: Usage of the IDP among doctoral students was low and the tool produces minimal effectiveness with regard to the perception of whether it is helpful to one’s career development. Further, our data suggests that the IDP is most effective when doctoral students complete the tool with faculty mentors with whom they have a positive relationship. Respondents who are confident about completing their doctoral training and their post-training career plans, and who take advantage of career development resources at their institution are also more likely to perceive that the IDP is useful for their career development.

Conclusion: Given the nuanced use and effectiveness of the IDP, we call for more research to determine why IDP use and effectiveness is low, exactly how IDPs are being used, and whether there are unintended negative consequences created through the use of the tool. Furthermore, we recommend an enhancement of career development infrastructure that would include mentorship training for faculty in order to provide substantially more career planning support to doctoral trainees.

Authors: YAMADA AIKI , LUONG PHUNG THI HONG , EGUCHI KATSUYUKI
Published: June 2018

Ooceraea quadridentata sp. nov. is described based on a colony series collected from a disturbed and bamboo-mixed evergreen forest in Vietnam’s Central Highlands (Nam Kar Nature Reserve, Dak Lak Province). This new species is distinguished from other described congeners by its propodeum with two pairs of conspicuous denticles. This represents the second species of the genus Ooceraea from the Indo-Chinese Peninsula. A preliminary key to Oriental species of Ooceraea based on the worker caste is also provided.
What is ‘religious experience’ in Schleiermacher’s Dogmatics, and why does it matter?
Authors: Dole Andrew
Published: June 2018

Schleiermacher is often credited with elevating the notion of ‘religious experience’ to prominence in theology and the study of religion.  But his position on religious experience is poorly understood, largely because he is typically read through the lens of his later appropriators.  In this essay I make a set of claims about what ‘religious experience’ amounts to in Schleiermacher’s mature dogmatics, The Christian Faith (or Glaubenslehre).  What is noteworthy about Schleiermacher’s position is its calculated coherence with religious naturalism, understood as the position that religious phenomena have natural causes.  I then argue that Schleiermacher’s understanding of religious experience is actually promising for contemporary discussions– partly because it allows for productive conversation with religious naturalists, and partly in virtue of the utility of Schleiermacher’s claim regarding the kind of religious experience at the heart of Christian religious identity.
Dark Light: The Mystical Theology of St. Edith Stein
Authors: Vainio Olli-Pekka
Published: June 2018

In this article, I will examine St. Edith Stein’s theory of religious language. Stein, who was both a professional philosopher and a mystic, and deeply rooted both in the tradition of negative theology and early phenomenology, held a peculiar version of univocity with regard to religious language. On the one hand, our concepts have something objectively in common with the thing they signify. On the other hand, our concepts are merely representations of the real. Therefore, when mystics say that God can be addressed “without words or images,” this does not entail anti-realism or non-cognitivism. Instead, according to Stein, this only means that words are not needed when the thing itself is present without mediation in the mystical experience.
Hylemorphic Animalism and the Incarnational Problem of Identity
Authors: Jaeger Andrew
Published: June 2018

In this paper, I argue that adherents of Patrick Toner’s (2011b) hylemorphic animalism who also assent to orthodox Christology and a thesis about the necessity of identity must reject a prima facie plausible theological possibility held by Ockham, entertained in one form by St. Thomas Aquinas, and recently held by Richard Cross (1989), Thomas Flint (2001a), (2001b), and (2011), and Timothy Pawl (2016) and (forthcoming) concerning which individual concrete human natures an omnipotent God could assume (viz. any of them).

Authors: Zúñiga Escobar Marianela , Niederle Paulo André
Published: June 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la perspectiva de la calidad de los alimentos a partir de los procesos actuales de estandarización y las valoraciones alternativas que se establecen desde las ferias del agricultor, como un ejemplo de un mercado local que promueve la relación directa entre personas agricultoras y público consumidor en Costa Rica. El texto se divide en tres secciones. En la primera se realiza una caracterización del sistema alimentario dominante y el tipo de riesgos alimentarios que representan los mercados que se encuentran inmersos en este. En la segunda sección se incluye el tema que da respuesta a dichos riesgos alimentarios adoptados por el sistema dominante, representados por los estándares de calidad que promueven la certificación del producto en condiciones excluyentes o de poca representatividad en cuanto a la diversidad en las perspectivas de calidad, así como cuestionamientos acerca de su finalidad dentro del mundo comercial. En la tercera sección se presenta el caso de las ferias del agricultor en Costa Rica y las perspectivas de calidad alternativa en dichos mercados locales, considerando la importancia de las relaciones entre sector productor y consumidor, así como su contribución al mejoramiento de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional de la población.

Repercusiones producto del desconocimiento del sistema de referencia en la información geoespacial de Costa Rica: utilidad de los metadatos
Authors: Cedeño-Montoya Bepsy , Moya-Zamora Jorge
Published: June 2018

El aprovechamiento máximo de la información geoespacial depende, entre otros aspectos, del conocimiento de su referencia geodésica, la cual es indispensable para poder convertirla y transformarla a otras referencias en caso de que sea necesario. En el caso particular de Costa Rica, existe una importante cantidad de información que está vinculada al datum convencional de Ocotepeque con sus respectivas proyecciones Lambert Costa Rica Norte (LCRN) y Lambert Costa Rica Sur (LCRS), y en la última década, la información nacional que se ha generado está referenciada al datum nacional oficial CR05 y su respectiva proyección cartográfica CRTM05 (Moya y Cedeño, 2016b). Las facilidades que ofrecen los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) propietarios o en versiones libres, constituyen una excelente herramienta no solo por la rapidez en los distintos procesos de la información, sino que, además, y quizás lo más importante, les brindan a los usuarios una enorme cantidad de resultados producto de sus múltiples capacidades de análisis espacial. Sin embargo, es indispensable que los SIG estén adecuadamente configurados, de manera que se pueda extraer la mayor cantidad de datos posibles con la certeza de que la información de partida está correctamente georreferenciada, o de que el proceso previo de georreferenciación es posible y correcto. Para esta tarea, es fundamental el conocimiento de los metadatos de manera de conocer el origen de la información. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es mostrarle a una gran cantidad de usuarios de los SIG, las posibles repercusiones que se tendrán por un inadecuado proceso de conversión y transformación de coordenadas.

Authors: Ramírez-Granados Pablo , Alfaro-Jiménez Kevin
Published: June 2018

A partir de sistemas de información geográfica y modelado de datos en Microsoft Excel, se realizó la morfometría de la subcuenca del río Toyogres en Cartago. El objetivo del estudio fue desarrollar los principales parámetros geomorfométricos y morfométricos que caracterizan una cuenca hidrográfica como etapa inicial en cualquier estudio hidrológico. Los resultados mostraron como la forma de la subcuenca puede ser analizada a partir del estudio de los aspectos geométricos derivados de los índices morfomrétricos, los cuales a su vez relacionan los aspectos litológicos y geomorfológicos que condicionan la forma alargada que esta tiene. A su vez, esta forma condiciona la relación de sus drenajes y las categorías en las cuales se encuentran además de su respuesta hidrológica.

Authors: Arias Mora Dennis
Published: June 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es determinar el efecto que tuvo la Primera Guerra Mundial (1914-1918) en las esferas política, social y cultural de las mujeres costarricenses de comienzos del siglo XX. Para ello se consideran tres tipos de fuentes documentales: informes diplomáticos, revistas culturales y prensa. De este modo, el artículo analiza, primero, los problemas de estudio aportados por las historiografías internacionales de género y de las mujeres al conocimiento de la Gran Guerra; segundo, se reconstruye el panorama sociopolítico de las mujeres costarricenses en el momento de acontecer la contienda; y tercero, se analizan las distintas repercusiones que tuvo esta guerra en las mujeres tomando en cuenta la imagen de la mujer sobre su participación en la guerra, sus experiencias en esta según residieran en el país o en el continente europeo, sus formas de movilización a distancia y las maneras en que esta participación incidió en la conformación del movimiento feminista de la época.
Factores protectores contra la automedicación en personas con enfermedad reciente que no buscaron atención en un establecimiento de salud
Authors: Virú-Loza Manuel André
Published: June 2018

Introducción: En Perú faltan estudios publicados sobre automedicación que hayan sido realizados a nivel nacional. La mayoría de la información disponible es descriptiva y de sectores pequeños de la población. Objetivos: El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar si factores relacionados a la accesibilidad a los servicios de salud, a la percepción sobre la enfermedad, los médicos y la medicina tradicional, así como también factores socioeconómicos, están asociados con la automedicación en personas con una enfermedad reciente que no buscaron atención en un establecimiento de salud. Diseño: Análisis transversal a partir de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares (ENAHO) del año 2015. Lugar: Estudio nacional. Sujetos de estudio: Aquellos que tuvieron una enfermedad en las últimas 4 semanas y no buscaron atención en un establecimiento de salud. Intervenciones: Se calculó medidas de resumen. Se utilizó regresión logística bivariada y multivariada. Resultados: Todas las variables de interés resultaron factores protectores significativos tanto en el análisis bivariado como multivariado. Conclusiones: Las variables de interés fueron factores protectores, confiriendo mayor protección el hecho de no tener dinero.
Agentes de salud en el contexto de pluralidad medica de Haquira. Apurímac, Perú
Authors: Astete Checaña Marco Antonio
Published: June 2018

Introducción. Nuestra investigación tuvo como objetivo describir la presencia y rol social de los agentes de salud en el contexto dinámico del distrito de Haquira en la región de Apurímac, Perú. Métodos. Estudio de carácter cualitativo en el que se empleó la técnica etnográfica. Se recurrió al trabajo de campo en el que se hizo uso de las entrevistas a profundidad, conversaciones y observación participante. Resultados. Se evidencia un contexto de pluralidad de los sistemas de salud por la diversidad de agentes y el empleo de repertorios terapéuticos. La concepción holística de la salud se basa en la búsqueda del equilibrio. La población se caracteriza por la autoatención y ello permite la formación de “curiosos” que sobresalen en conocimientos sobre salud. Los agentes locales inician como curiosos y sus opciones son convertirse en aficionados, especialistas o profesionales. Proliferan los aficionados, hay preferencia para la formación de profesionales y hay una baja tasa para la formación de especialistas tradicionales. Con los cambios acelerados del contexto y la concepción holística de salud se da acogida a la llegada de nuevos agentes foráneos. Conclusiones. Existe una gran diversidad de agentes de salud. Los agentes locales vienen disminuyendo, por el avance de la modernidad, la subordinación de estos frente al sistema oficial, la proliferación de la oferta médica, mayor acceso a la información de la población. No hay trabajo de rectoría de la salud, no existe reconocimiento de agentes tradicionales, no hay fiscalización a quienes ofertan servicios o medicamentos. Se necesita hacer un mapeo de los agentes de salud como primer paso para establecer trabajos en base al dialogo intercultural.
Vulvodinia: una puesta al día
Authors: Matzumura-Kasano Juan P. , Gutiérrez-Crespo Hugo F. , Zamudio-Eslava Luisa A.
Published: June 2018

La vulvodinia es definida como un malestar vulvar, descrito como un dolor tipo ardor con una duración promedio de 3 meses y con una prevalencia de 16%. La metodología empleada consistió de una revisión y análisis sistemático en bases de datos electrónicos, mediante el uso de palabras clave. Su etiología sigue siendo desconocida, a pesar de que diversas teorías sostienen que tiene un origen multifactorial. El diagnóstico de la vulvodinia se realiza mediante una evaluación minuciosa de la historia del dolor, historia sexual, situación clínica y examen físico. El tratamiento no médico incluye intervenciones psicológicas, que tienen por objetivo disminuir el dolor y restaurar la función sexual. Las terapias alternativas aún no han demostrado su eficacia para el tratamiento de la vulvodinia, mientras que la terapia física, al disminuir las restricciones tisulares, ayudan a restaurar la longitud de los músculos y tejidos de la pelvis. Asimismo, el tratamiento médico incluye terapia local mediante el uso de antinociceptivos y agentes antiinflamatorios, neuromoduladores; también se utiliza antidepresivos tricíclicos, norepinefrina y anticonvulsivos. El tratamiento quirúrgico ha demostrado ser una estrategia que permite disminuir el dolor siendo de importancia destacar la experiencia del cirujano como un factor determinante. En conclusión, la vulvodinia es un problema de salud para la mujer, que afecta su función sexual y calidad de vida. El tratamiento debe ser abordado con un enfoque holístico y multidisciplinario.

AIMS: To determine whether mothers of children with congenital toxoplasmosis have chorioretinal lesions consistent with toxoplasmosis. METHODS: Ophthalmologists in our study have examined 173 children with congenital toxoplasmosis in a hospital outpatient setting. These children were referred to us by their primary care physicians. One hundred and thirty mothers of these children had retina examinations of both eyes at least once. Main outcome measure was lesion(s) consistent with ocular toxoplasmosis. RESULTS: Of 130 mothers examined between 1991-2005, 10 (7.7%, 95% Confidence Interval 3.8%, 13.7%) had chorioretinal lesions which likely represent resolved toxoplasmic chorioretinitis. Most of these were small peripheral chorioretinal lesions. None reactivated between 1991-2005. CONCLUSIONS: Chorioretinal lesions consistent with quiescent ocular toxoplasmosis occur in mothers of children with congenital toxoplasmosis in the United States.

Published: June 2018

AIMS: To present the wavelet transform as an alternative tool in the evaluation of the masseter muscle electrical activity in women with temporomandibular disorder after therapy with Light Emitting Diode (LED).METHODS: Five volunteers with temporomandibular disorder underwent four sessions of LED therapy. Electromyography of the masseter muscle was performed bilaterally before and after treatment. For analysing the electromyographic signals, the wavelet transform was applied in the Morlet function. RESULTS: In the scalogram, a decrease in the activation of the high-frequency fibers in the rest protocol and its increase in the isometric movement protocol were observed. In the analysis based on the RGB color system, we observed that in the right masseter muscle resting protocol, the moments of maximum energy intensities were reduced by 82% for frequencies of 256-512 Hz and by 42% for frequencies above 512 Hz. In the left masseter muscle the reduction was 42% in the frequency band of 256-512 Hz.CONCLUSIONS: Analysis by the wavelet transform allowed identification of physiological factors related not only to the activation of the masseter muscle, but also to the intensity and time / frequency relationship, as well as the main types of fibers activated during the protocols before and after LED therapy in patients with dysfunction temporomandibular.

AbstractAn empirical differential study examining differences in personality traits and general intellectual ability among three different age-based groups of classical musicians (students attending a music high school, music university students and senior professionals with university degree in music) was conducted on Macedonian sample (288 respondents in total). Individual differences were tested employing four measuring instruments: 16PF, EPQ and NEO PI-R personality inventories, as well as the FRT (TRL) as an IQ test.A differential (one-way ANOVA) approach based statistical data processing indicated several major differences in personality traits, but not in general intelligence among the groups. High school students proved to be more extroverted and more uncompromising, but also less conscientious and with lesser imagination than adults, while university students showed proneness to fantasy, unconventionality and appreciation of art and beauty more than others. Overall, the university students scored more or less somewhere between the high-school students and the adult musicians on a vast majority of measured traits, which suggests the existence of specific developmental line of the differential traits, alongside the age, experience and musicianship growth.Key words: age; individual differences; musicians; musicianship; personality traits.---SažetakEmpirijsko istraživanje razlika u crtama ličnosti i općoj intelektualnoj sposobnosti kod tri dobne skupine glazbenika klasične glazbe (učenika srednje glazbene škole, fakultetskih studenata glazbe i odraslih profesionalnih glazbenika s fakultetskom diplomom iz područja glazbe) provedeno je na uzorku od ukupno 288 ispitanika.

Guerra fría, exilio y redes masónicas en América Latina: Notas preliminares en torno a la logia Soarele Romaniei (Buenos Aires, 1952-1958)
Authors: Mollès Dévrig
Published: June 2018

En 1952, exiliados y emigrados rumanos fundaron en Buenos Aires una logia, en el seno de una de las organizaciones masónicas argentinas de la época. Este grupo reunía a veteranos, personas que habían atravesado la primera guerra mundial, el entre-guerras y la segunda guerra mundial. Rumania estaba entonces en disputa entre las potencias occidentales y las orientales. El momento político era particular en el plano internacional (los inicios de la guerra fría), en el plano continental (el panamericanismo y el anticomunismo), en el plano nacional (el primer peronismo). En la masonería argentina, este contexto pareció reflejarse con la aparición de una nueva camada de logias: ¿logias de exilio? ¿logias de guerra fría? Estas notas de investigación son un primer acercamiento. Pretenden alimentar una investigación en curso para una sociología histórica de las redes masónicas atlánticas y latinoamericanas, de la guerra de 31 años a la guerra fría (1914-1960).

Abstract:

Modern information and communication tools have increasingly become an indispensable part of our everyday life. Research data demonstrate that it can be used effectively to preserve and restore health, not just among young people but also among the elderly, as for nowadays the use of the internet is widespread among the elderly, but healthcare applications are less well-known. This supports the significance of our project since it is important to develop and introduce disease-specific healthcare applications. Our preliminary results also indicated that men are less open to these new technologies, so in their case, specific methods are needed to facilitate the use of electronic devices. The high level of internet activity and the interest in information and communication technologies provide a reliable basis for applying these new technologies to the elderly. Thus, based on our research, we can develop a complex model of care based on the bio-psycho-social principles, which can be a significant advance in the prevention and early detection of age-related mental disorders and in alleviating the physical and psychological burdens of people with dementia and their families.

GENETIC DIVERSITY AMONG NATURAL POPULATIONS OF Keteleeria evelyniana Mast. IN CENTRAL HIGLANDS OF VIETNAM USING SSR MARKERS
Authors: Lieu Tran Thi , Phong Dinh Thi , Hien Vu Thi Thu
Published: June 2018

Keteleeria evelyniana Mast. is a big softwood species with high economic values. Therefore, the number of these trees are rapidly decreasing due to rampant exploitation as well as its habitat loss and recently, the species is considered vulnerablein Vietnam. In this study, we assessed the genetic variation among seventy K. evelyniana samples of three natural populations in Lam Dong, Dak Lak and Kon Tum using 16 microsatellite markers. The results showed that thirteen markers were polymorphic. A total 39 DNA fragments were amplified, among them, thirty – five were polymorphic (accounting for 89.74%). Among studied populations, the level of genetic diversity at Lam Dong (Na = 2.063; Ne = 1.730; Ap = 0.375; I = 0.558; Ho = 0.459 and He = 0.367) was the highest. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that the total level of molecular changes between populations was 34.65% and between individuals in the same population was 65.35%. Private alleles (Ap) and inbreeding values (Fis) of K. evelyniana species were founded of all three populations in Lam Dong, Dak Lak and Kon Tum (0.375 and -0.234; 0.188 and -0.065; 0.063 and -0.047, respectively). The gene flow (Nm) also occurred among the K. evelyniana populations with the average of Nm = 5.423. A dendrogram (UPGMA) constructed based on the similarity matrix of 70 K. evelyniana samples divided into two main groups with their genetic similarity coefficient ranged from 76.5% (Ke26 and Ke44) to 99% (Ke23 and Ke25). The obtained results indicated the importance of conserving the genetic resources of K. evelyniana species in Tay Nguyen.

Published: June 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background : There are students who drop out medical school during the early years. Objectives: We investigated how the first year students find the way of learning medicine. Material and methods : We developed a freshman orientation program that combined PBL and simulation learning with SPs. We collected freshman's impressions in 2013 and 2014 from their freely written comments after the course and then qualitatively analyzed their responses. Results : Five main categories were labeled anxiety, knowledge, reconstructing visions, expanding community and readiness. The story lines generated from this result is as follows. The students were obsessed with the large volume of knowledge they needed to acquire. They began to reconstruct their future visions. Many recognized the necessity to expand their range of relationships through learning with peers and SPs. They also began to transfer this learning activity to diverse social experiences. These experiences were useful for building readiness to learn. Conclusion: Freshmen, who are neither laypersons nor medical professionals, could lead to establishing a readiness to start a medical career through expanding their community. This can be experienced only at this stage of their learning. It is a good time for an intervention to modify behavior to improve the learning of medicine.

ABSTRACT Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., and the root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus brachyurus, are the most common phytoparasites in soybean crop, which usually occur in association in crop areas. However, few studies were conducted on the interaction between these parasites. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the interference of the increase in M. javanica population in the reproduction of P. brachyurus, and the effect of mixed populations on soybean (cultivar BRS/MT Pintado) development. The experiment consisted in inoculating a population of 1000 specimens of P. brachyurus per plant and changing the inoculum level of M. javanica, using zero, 1000, 2000 and 4000 eggs, in two different periods. After 65 days of inoculation, the increase in the initial population of M. javanica reduced by 79 and 73% the final population of P. brachyurus in the different experiments. However, both species significantly increased their populations. When subjected to the same inoculum level, M. javanica was more efficient in reproducing than P. brachyurus. The increase in the number of nematodes reduced the vegetative growth of the plant.

Abstract Introduction: Hemiparesis is one of the main sequels of stroke. Evidence suggests that muscle strength exercises are important in rehabilitation programs for hemiparetic patients, but wide variation in previously studied protocols makes the most suitable choice difficult in clinical practice. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate strength training protocols for people with hemiparesis after stroke. Methods: A systematic review of literature was performed in the PubMed, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Science) databases. Only controlled clinical studies that contained strength training protocols for hemiparesis after stroke were selected. Results: In total, 562 articles were found. Of them, 12 were accepted for the systematic review. Although strength training protocols are effective in hemiparetic patients, we did not found a standard method for strength training. Conclusion: This systematic revision highlights the lack of a standard protocol for strength training, considering the following training parameters: volume, intensity, frequency, series, and repetitions. Isotonic exercises are most commonly used.
Determination of large deflections for elastic circular plate
Authors: Razdolsky Alexander G.
Published: June 2018

Elastic large deflections of a clamped circular plate subjected to uniform normal pressure are governed by a system of ordinary nonlinear differential equations of the fifth order. The solution of the system must satisfy the given boundary conditions at the centre and the edge of the plate. An analytical solution of this boundary-value problem is not feasible. The numerical solution of the problem using the shooting method is reported in this paper. Integration of differential equations is carried out by the Runge–Kutta method. The method of embedded polygons is used to find initial values of deflections at the edge of the plate. The idea of the method is to construct a sequence of embedded polygons in Euclidean phase space that converge to a single point that maps the desired solution. Polygon vertices are determined under the assumption that each of the boundary conditions is a function of only one of the unknowns in the set of initial conditions. On the basis of this algorithm, a computer program has been developed. Numerical examples illustrate the capabilities of the program. The results of solving examples are presented in the form of graphs of distributions of deflections and stresses in the plate.

Authors: Barzegar Maryam , Tudu Bharati
Published: June 2018

Semiconductor gas sensors have been developed so far on empirical bases, but now recent innovative materials for advancing gas sensor technology have been made available for further developments. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained immense attention since the advent of graphene. This attention inspired researchers to explore a new family of potential 2D materials. The superior structural, mechanical, optical and electrical properties of 2D materials made them attractive for next-generation smart device applications. There are considerable improvements and research studies on graphene, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), tungsten disulfide (WS2), tin sulfide (SnS2), black phosphorus and other 2D materials in the field of sensing devices. These materials have been reported to be used perfectly for sensing target gases at parts per million and parts per billion levels. A wide variety of mechanisms have been reported as main functions of 2D materials in sensing the target gas in gas sensors – that is, semiconductor, field-effect transistor, optical, electrochemical and piezoelectric sensors. This review addresses the current experimental and theoretical approaches to studying 2D materials, their mechanism of sensing and possible developments in fabrication of ultrasensitive gas sensors, along with the challenges and issues in the fabrication of the gas sensors and their selectivity and stability challenges.

Assessing Indonesian students’ competence in translating French texts of different types
Authors: Setiadi Riswanda
Published: June 2018

This research is based on the fact that while learning a foreign language, translation ability is important for various purposes, yet not easy for the learners to acquire. This study was therefore aimed to: (1) identify the difficulties facing the students in translating different types of texts, especially descriptive, narrative and argumentative; (2) measure the student's ability to translate the text of three different types; and (4) provide feedback to the faculty about the students’ ability to translate descriptive text, narrative and argumentative texts in particular. For the purpose of this study, only non-fiction texts were provided for the students. And it is assumed that different text types require them to take different ways of translating. The subjects were 30 students of the Department of French Language Education, at a state education university in Bandung, who attended a French-Indonesian Translation class. Data collecting instrument used was a translation test consisting descriptive, narrative and argumentative texts to be translated from French into Indonesian. The findings showed that half of the students had difficulty translating the three types of text, particularly in paragraph cohesion and fairness criteria. But they were more able to translate narrative and argumentative texts than descriptive text due to text structure and characteristics as well as students’ lack of vocabulary acquisition. However, in general the students had a slightly sufficient ability to translate those three text types from French into Indonesian. Errors in translation were also identified in relation to their knowledge of both source and target languages.

Reconsidering ‘Desire’ and ‘Style’: A Lefebvrian Approach to Democratic Orientation in Planning
Authors: Yamamoto Yukihiro
Published: June 2018

In Henri Lefebvre’s theory, the space in process of social production is regarded as the very condition of accomplishing the ‘desire’ to do or to create something. This article argues that we need to understand the implications of the ‘desire’ in order to make use of his urban theory in today’s planning. Introducing this idea, in the 1960s and 1970s, Lefebvre attempted  to create our own style of living, that is, to produce the appropriated space which differed from the technocratically-planned spaces where people devote themselves into repetitively fulfilling their needs for specific objects like a laboratory rat in the experiment of looped system. For all his utopian strategies, Lefebvre made practical suggestions on turning our cities more desire-based, that is to say, more democratically designed; it would be very helpful for today’s urban planning to go back to his argument on the difference between ‘desire’ and ‘need’, or the connection between ‘desire’ and the style of living.
