Authors: Gowrinathan Thannoli Gowthami , A. Senthil Kumar
Published: June 2019

Background: Intractable epilepsy is the pragmatic problem during the treatment of active epilepsy in children. Several risk factors are associated with incidence of intractable/recurrent epilepsy. The current study was done to identify the risk and prognostic factors associated with recurrent epilepsy (RE).Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 152 children with idiopathic or symptomatic epilepsy who are on two or more AEDs and who were in follow up in Neurology OPD and inpatients in medical ward at ICH&HC, Chennai. All patients underwent relevant investigations to identify the possible risk factors for incidence of RE in study population. Karyotyping was done for idiopathic cases.Results: Male preponderance was seen in the study (M:F-2:1). Risk factors such as male sex, age onset of seizures, type of seizures, developmental delay, CNS congenital anomalies, h/o perinatal injury, neuroabnormality, abnormal MRI and EEG was found to have statistically significant association with incidence of RE. No significant association was observed for the factors microcephaly, behavioural abnormalities, h/o febrile seizures and h/o status epilepticus with incidence of RE. No chromosomal abnormalities were detected in idiopathic cases.Conclusions: Early identification, risk factor analysis and understanding in the dynamics of the disease helps the physician in initiating the appropriate treatment, thereby avoiding the wrong therapy, low dose therapy and infrequent therapy. Above all identification of the risk factors helps in parental counseling and prepare them for expected outcome.

Authors: Reddy R. Jayaprakash , Reddy P. Vijaya Narasimha
Published: June 2019

Background: Intensive care Unit is the one place where we come across various medical critical cases and high number of deaths is also recorded here. In spite of so many deaths occurring at this unit, cause of death is poorly reported. We studied the different causes for deaths in ICU which includes single and multiple factors for cause of death.Methods: A retrospective study performed between January 2017 to January 2018 at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical sciences, Kadapa, Ongole, A.P. This study includes 260 deaths among patients admitted in ICU of our institute during this duration. We gathered data at various levels like clinical evaluation and investigations.Results: A total of 260 deaths were recorded during this study. Among these 215 (82.69%) are female and 45 (17.30%) are male. At the time of death 174 (66.92%) patients has single systemic cause 86 (33.06%) had more than one systemic cause. Cardiovascular death 50 (19.23%) is the most common cause of death among all in which CAD 28 (10.76%) are major portion and congestive cardiac failure 20 (7.6%) are the remaining portion of the cardiac deaths. Chronic kidney disease 37 (14.2%) is the next highest deaths recorded and cerebro vascular 35 (13.46%) deaths follows the next in line.Conclusions: Majority of ICU patients were present with at least one organ failure at the time of death. What we have concluded in this study is that there are more number of deaths with single systemic cause than multiple systemic causes.
Fibrous osteodystrophy in a Lavradeira filly associated with Brachiaria humidicola ingestion
Authors: Cunha Santos Fernanda Carlini
Published: June 2019

Fibrous osteodystrophy in horses is due to low calcium ingestion, high phosphorus ingestion, high oxalate ingestion, or a combination of these. Tropical forages usually have high levels of oxalates, which prevents calcium absorption and results in calcium deficiency. The present study reports a case of fibrous

osteodystrophy in a filly associated with Brachiaria humidicola ingestion. A 1-year-old filly of the Lavradeiro breed was maintained on a pasture with B. humidicola and presented bilaterally enlarged facial bones, a high respiratory rate, noises during inspiration-expiration and dyspnea. Based on its history, age and clinical

signs, the diagnosis was fibrous osteodystrophy associated with B. humidicola ingestion. Treatment was based on the administration of calcium gluconate, vitamins A, D and E, and clenbuterol. All other horses were transferred to a field with native forage and were supplemented with calcium carbonate. In Roraima state,

the use of tropical forages in equine feeding is very common and represents a risk factor for the occurrence of fibrous osteodystrophy due to the continuous ingestion of oxalates. In horses, the diagnosis is achieved by clinical exam and treatment aims to correct the imbalance in Ca:P ratio, associated with support therapy.

Published: June 2019

To obtain quality saplings it is necessary to consider the requirements the plants have for a balanced nutriente intake. These can be made available from organic waste which, in many cases, is simple to acquire and can be recycled easily. Consequently, the current study evaluated the potential of organic substrates and formononetin for the production of Leucaena leucocephala seedlings. Experiments were carried out in

a greenhouse, using a fully randomized experimental design, in a factorial arrangement (5 x 2), with five soil proportions: organic compound (100: 0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20 : 80) and two doses (0 and 1.0 mg per seed) of the isoflavonoid formononetine (7-hydroxy-4’-methoxy-isoflavone, Myconate®). After 60 days of sowing, shoot height, stem diameter, shoot height ratio, shoot diameter, number of nodules, aerial dry mass (ADM), root dry

mass (RDM), total dry matter and Dickson Quality Index (DQI) of the Leucaena leucocephala seedlings were evaluated. Formononetin positively influenced dry root and total dry mass production, and the Dickson Quality Index of Leucaena leucocephala seedlings. A substrate with 46% soil and 54% organic compound gave the

highest seedling DQI, this thereforee being the recommended proportions for this specieds during the initial growth phase.
Can vitamin D protect against age-related macular degeneration or slow its progression?
Authors: Kaarniranta Kai , Pawlowska Elzbieta , Szczepanska Joanna , Jablkowska Aleksandra , Błasiak Janusz
Published: June 2019

Dietary vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining proper vision. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex eye disease with unknown pathogenesis. Studies on dietary supplementation and AMD occurrence and progression have produced conflicting results. In its advanced stage, AMD may be associated with apoptosis, pyroptosis or necroptosis of retinal cells. Vitamin D has been reported to play a role in modulating each of these programmed death pathways. Vitamin D is a modulator of the immune system and it acts synergistically with two members of the regulators of complement activation family H and I, whose specific variants are the most important genetic factors for AMD pathogenesis. Angiogenesis is an essential component of the neovascular form of AMD, the most devastating type of the disease and vitamin D is reputed to possess antiangiogenic properties. Cellular DNA damage response is weakened in AMD patients and so it is another process that can be modulated by vitamin D. Finally, impaired autophagy is claimed to play a role in AMD and emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D can influence autophagy. Therefore, several pathways of vitamin D metabolism and AMD pathogenesis overlap, suggesting that vitamin D could modulate the course of AMD.
Biochemiczne i fizjologiczne aspekty rozkładu barwników chlorofilowych
Authors: Zalewska Martyna , Tukaj Zbigniew
Published: June 2019

Procesowi starzenia się liści i dojrzewania owoców towarzyszy rozkład chlorofilu do niefluorescencyjnych katabolitów (NCC). Ścieżkę rozpadu rozpoczynają reakcje redukcji w chloroplaście, w wyniku których cząsteczki chlorofilu b przekształcane są do chlorofilu a. Następnie, specyficzna dechelataza i esteraza usuwają atom magnezu i łańcuch fitolu w wyniku czego powstaje feoforbid a. W kolejnym kroku oksygenaza feoforbidu a oraz reduktaza czerwonego katabolitu dokonują otwarcia makropierścienia porfirynowego. Produktem tej przemiany jest wczesny fluorescencyjny katabolit (pFCC), który po hydroksylacji i innych specyficznych dla gatunku modyfikacjach trafia do wakuoli. W kwaśnym pH we wnętrzu tego organellum zachodzi izomeryzacja pFCC do bezbarwnych NCC, końcowych produktów rozkładu chlorofilu u roślin wyższych. Brak jest nadal odpowiedzi na szereg pytań dotyczących losów i znaczenia milionów ton produktów rozpadu chlorofilu, corocznie uwalnianych w środowisku wodnym w wyniku obumierania komórek fitoplanktonu. Nieliczne doniesienia wskazują, że glony i cyjanobakterie mogą metabolizować swoje kluczowe barwniki fotosyntetyczne w podobny sposób do roślin wyższych, jednak do tej pory dokładny przebieg rozkładu chlorofili u tych organizmów nie został poznany.

Hadîs Musannefâtında Niyet-Amel İlişkisi
Authors: Erdim Sinan
Published: June 2019

İbâdetlerin îfâsı için niyetin ne
kadar önemli ve lüzumlu olduğu konusu her Müslüman tarafından bilinen bir
gerçektir. Özellikle fıkıh kitaplarına göz atıldığında hemen hemen her ibâdet
için delillerden hareketle niyetin hükmünün belirlenmeye çalışıldığı
görülmektedir. Hâc ibâdetinde ise neredeyse her nüsük için niyetin hükmü
üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bununla beraber hadîs okumalarımız sırasında bu konunun
hadîs kitaplarında ve özellikle de musannef türü eserlerde fıkıh kitaplarıyla
pek de örtüşmeyen bir şekilde ele alındığını fark ettik. Gerek rivâyetlerde
gerekse musanneflerin bâb başlıklarında, bazı ibâdetler hariç niyet kelimesi
fıkıh kitaplarında görüldüğü üzere ayrıntılı ve vurgulu olarak yer almamıştır.
Bunun en bariz örnekleri olarak abdest ve namaz konusu karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
Hz. Peygamber’in gerek abdest gerekse de namaz için niyet ettiği veya sahabeye
niyet edin şeklinde bir emrinin vukûu söz konusu değildir. Dolayısıyla bu
makalemizde abdest, namaz, oruç, hac ve zekât ibâdetleri özelinde hem hadîsler
hem de musanneflerin bâb başlıklarından yola çıkılarak konuyla ilgili mevcut
durum tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
W.T.O. AND LABOUR ISSUES: A CHALLENGE
Authors: Niranjan Dr. Sunil Kumar
Published: June 2019

Labour standard is the most burning agenda of the WTO ministerial dialogue held in Doha because advance countries wants to counter the demand of developing countries eg. opening market for agro exports, reduction of subsidy and support by developed countries etc. but the true picture of labour force in developing countries is that they do not have skilled, socially, economically child labour protected work force  due to lots of reasons at the international standard.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the competent body to set and deal with these standards, and we affirm our support for its work in promoting them. We believe that economic growth and development fostered by increased trade and further trade liberalization contribute to the promotion of these standards. We reject the use of labour standards for protectionist purposes, and agree that the comparative advantage of countries, particularly low-wage developing countries, must in no way be put into question. In this regard, we note that the WTO and ILO Secretariats will continue their existing collaboration.
Socio-scientific inquiry-based learning: An approach for engaging with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals through school science
Authors: Amos Ruth , Levinson Ralph
Published: June 2019

Socio-scientific inquiry-based learning (SSIBL) incorporates the European Commission's approach to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). These relationships are elaborated into a pedagogic model encouraging young people to ask real-world questions that interest them, collect evidence
to answer the questions and, as a result, to take personal action on their findings. After depicting a pedagogic model for SSIBL, we identify the opportunities for pre-service science teachers (PSTs) adopting a SSIBL approach. We detail SSIBL activity designs that aim to engage students in
learning about the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The findings show the prerequisite of using the science curriculum to facilitate SSIBL within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We suggest a SSIBL approach would benefit from co-designed frameworks involving the collaboration of
cross-disciplinary groups of teachers, through reflection and enactment on previous SSIBL activities. SSIBL enables practitioners to establish engaging contexts for science knowledge development, as well as to become more informed citizens.
Looking for peace in the national curriculum of Mexico
Authors: Kertyzia Heather , Standish Katerina
Published: June 2019

Schools are places where we can learn ways of being, seeing and living. They are transmission belts – social institutions that can engender values and attitudes from both how we learn and what we learn. Using content analysis, this mixed methods study assesses the national curriculum
of Mexico – the Plan de Estudios Educación Básica, 2011 – for three components found in peace education programmes: recognizing violence (direct, structural or cultural); addressing conflict nonviolently; and creating the conditions of positive peace. These three
components contribute to the analysis of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): quality education (SDG 4); gender equality (SDG 5); reduced inequalities (SDG 10); responsible consumption and production (SDG 12); and peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16). This component of the
Peace Education Curriculum Analysis (PECA) Project finds that the Plan de Estudios contains limited content that recognizes violence, some evidence of techniques used in transforming conflict nonviolently and only select content that is concerned with contributing to positive peace.
Universal values as a barrier to the effectiveness of global citizenship education: A multimodal critical discourse analysis
Authors: Hatley Jenny
Published: June 2019

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) approach to global citizenship education (GCE) includes a set of values termed 'universal values'. These social ideals include peace, justice and sustainability, and are normatively considered a common good.
A multimodal critical discourse analysis of universal values within key UNESCO texts reveals that rather than moving societies towards genuine mutual human well-being, a central theme of GCE, universal values are counterproductive to the achievement of GCE. To enable GCE to achieve its aims,
UNESCO needs to incorporate a diverse concept of values that allows for motivations and actions towards global citizenship more relevant to local contexts.

El objetivo del presente artículo es pro­poner un modelo para el análisis empírico del aprendizaje generado en las políticas pú­blicas. El modelo fue aplicado en el Instituto Coahuilense de Acceso a la Información Pú­blica (ICAI) de México, a partir de una meto­dología cualitativa, por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas y un grupo de enfoque con funcionarios de dicho instituto. El modelo de análisis aplicado permitió conocer tres aspec­tos clave del aprendizaje de políticas públicas: primero, por medio del análisis documental fue posible conocer las fallas de la política descritas en la literatura académica sobre el tema de la transparencia en Coahuila; el trabajo de campo permitió detectar cómo el aprendizaje generó ajustes a los instrumentos utilizados para cumplir con los objetivos de la política púbica de transparencia, así como tam­bién conocer sobre la introducción de algunos nuevos instrumentos; y tres, el modelo ayudó a detectar y sistematizar los mecanismos y las herramientas que utiliza el ICAI para el apren­dizaje de políticas públicas de transparencia.
Development and Validation of a Women's Financial Self-Efficacy Scale
Authors: Nguyen Hoa Thi
Published: June 2019

Lack of standardized measurement is one of the main factors that inhibits rigorous evaluations of financial literacy programs. However, although several scholars have developed financial self-efficacy measurements, none have been tailored for women. This article aims to develop and validate a Women's Financial Self-Efficacy Scale (WFSES). Results showed that the WFSES had an excellent reliability coefficient alpha (.93). The scale had good content-related validity, which covered all key domains in financial management for women. The criterion-related validity showed that the WFSES was positively correlated with the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSES). Factor analysis showed four factors to be consistent with the common categories in financial management curricula.
Exploring Antecedents to Financial Management Behavior for Young Adults
Authors: Bapat Dhannajay
Published: June 2019

In terms of future revenue stream, the potential of young adults is considered to be significant. The study is relevant to India as the segment dominates the population. The objective of the study is to examine the antecedents to financial management behavior for young adults. One hundred and sixty responses were obtained from respondents. While employing structural equation modeling, we found that variables such as help-seeking behavior, financial knowledge, and electronic banking, positively affect financial management behavior. The findings suggest that financial educators and counselors need to incorporate electronic banking along with other dimensions such as financial knowledge and help-seekers. Financial educators can benefit from innovative technology features.

Published: June 2019

This study develops a general method for modeling changes in response to items relating to students perceptions of personal finance and financial products. The new method is illustrated to analyze data from a sample of 1,250 students aged 16–18 who participated in a financial capability education study in the UK. We demonstrate how a quantitative indicator of the changes in students' responses can be applied in various educational research projects, particularly as a measure of program effectiveness. Predictions are based on prior survey responses, which are taken as relevant historical information for a cohort of students. We find significant changes in the responses of students toward reported career choice following the Financial Literacy Education course at national colleges in the UK.
Purposive and Unintentional Family Financial Socialization, Subjective Financial Knowledge, and Financial Behavior of High School Students
Authors: Deenanath Veronica , Danes Sharon M. , Jang Juyoung
Published: June 2019

Using the family financial socialization theory, this study investigated the financial knowledge and behavior of high school students' contextualizing unintentional and purposive family financial socialization. The sample of 4,473 high school students were 51% females, 45% seniors, and ethnically diverse. A path analysis tested conceptual relationships between variables. Results indicated that the two unintentional socialization indicators were positively associated with subjective financial knowledge and financial behavior. Those indicators were also indirectly associated with financial behavior through knowledge. Student-earned income, a purposive indicator of socialization, was positively associated with behavior through knowledge. Exclusively obtaining money through parents was negatively associated with behavior through knowledge. Knowledge was positively associated with behavior.
PARAMETERS OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR VERTICAL MIGRATION OF HEAVY METALS IN SOILS IN THE AREA OF LEAD AND ANTIMONY PLANT
Authors: Frid A. S. , Borisochkina T. I.
Published: June 2019

The data on distribution of heavy metals in the soil profile (Yuan et al., 2017) of the province Guangxi in southern China in the zone influenced by lead and antimony plant were analyzed. The soil is sod-calcareous and rich in humus. The averaged over the years and depth (“apparent”) parameters of diffusion and convective-diffusion models of migration in the area of combined soil pollution (only soil aerogenic pollution and in combination with the sewage waters) are estimated. The largest values of the diffusion parameters were obtained for Zn and Cd (n∙10–7 сm2/sec), the smallest values were obtained for Pb and Sb (n∙10–8 сm2/sec). When soil was flooded by waste waters, a reliable convective component of migration for Zn and Sb was noted. At the same time the peak of Zn concentration moved to the depth of 40–60 cm. Under these conditions there was no clear inverse correlation between the migration mobility and the amount of sorption of elements by the soil.
DIRI RELIGIUS: SUATU PERSPEKTIF PSIKOLOGI TERHADAP KEPRIBADIAN AKHLAQUL KARIMAH
Authors: Ninin Retno Hanggarani
Published: June 2019

Akhlaqul karimah in general is a temperament that contains elements of goodness. The  characteristics consistent with morals, ethics, morality, dignity, and kindness in accordance with reference to the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. From psychologycal perspective, “self” is  the aggregate related. Defined as an awareness of  one’s own unique existence, self is the crucial  factor of regulatory and control functions over the thoughts, feelings, motives, and behavior. Accordingly, the proposed concept “religious self” can be defined as an awareness of the one’s own existence in relation to God,in which the awareness of the relationship will be the critical factor that regulate and control the thoughts, feelings, motives, and behavior. Religious self is being argued as having four dimensions:Godness belief, awareness of God-self connectednes, acceptance of God's willpowertoward them, and motif of obedience to God’s order. In term of akhlaqul karimah, each dimension of religious self is analogous to the concept of iman (faith), ikhsan (feel of being observed by the Divine), tawakal (resignation), and taqwa (piety), which are features indicate the quality of akhlaqul karimah. Critical review of concepts in common psychology ie religiosity, spirituality, personality, and self, offers new conceptualisation of akhlaqul karimah by the way of psychology.

Published: June 2019

Pseudapocryptes elongatus adalah sejenis Mudskipper yang ditemukan di muara-muara atau mulut sungai. Pseudapocryptes elongatus dikenal dengan ikan janjan. Para penduduk setempat menangkap ikan ini untuk digunakan sebagai ikan konsumsi karena mempunyai rasa yang gurih dan tekstur yang lembut, sampai saat ini permintaan terhadap ikan janjan masih tinggi, namun keberadaan ikan janjan masih tergantung dari hasil tangkapan nelayan. Keberadaanya beberapa tahun terakhir mulai menurun ditandai dengan semakin kecilnya ukuran ikan hasil tangkapan dan semakin menurun hasil tangkapan maka keberadaannya di alam terancam mengalami kepunahan. Domestikasi merupakan salah satu cara untuk mencegah ikan janjan dari kepunahan, tetapi informasi tentang biologi ikan janjan masih sangat terbatas, termasuk tentang kebiasaan makan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kebiasaan makan ikan janjan pada bulan Nopember sampai Januari, sehingga akan bermanfaat sebagai acuan usaha domestikasi. Metode penelitian bersifat deskriptif dengan cara mengambil ikan janjan di muara kali miring kabupaten Gresik dua minggu sekali dari bulan Nopember sampai Agustus. Ikan kemudian diukur panjang dan ditimbang beratnya, kemudian dibedah untuk diambil saluran pencernaannya untuk dilakukan analisis tentang kebiasaan makan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ikan janjan merupakan ikan omnivora dengan Relative Gut Length < 3, dengan makanan utama berupa diatom (37,57%), disusul kemudian oleh Rotifera, Cyanophyta, Protista, Chlorophyta, dan Arthropoda sebesar (30,69%; 26, 39%; 4%; 1,22% dan 0,12% berturut-turut).

Udang vaname mulai dibudidayakan di Indonesia sejak tahun 2001. Kendala bagi pembudidaya yaitu biaya pakan pada udang dapat mencapai 50% dari biaya produksi sehingga untuk mengatasi tingginya harga pakan, maka perlu pakan alternatif berprotein tinggi dengan harga murah. Daun lamtoro merupakan salah satu leguminosa yang dapat digunakan sebagai bahan pakan tambahan karena mempunyai kadar protein yang cukup tinggi dan mudah dicerna. Kecernaan merupakan proses usus mencerna makanan dan penyerapan nutrisi pada pakan yang diberikan. Daya cerna pada ikan menggambarkan sebagian kecil dari nutrisi atau energi dalam bahan yang tidak termakan dan diekskresikan dalam bentuk feses. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemanfaatan fermentasi tepung daun lamtoro sebagai subtitusi kedelai udang vaname (Litopenaeus vannamei) terhadap nilai kecernaan protein dan kecernaan energi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimental menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dan 5 ulangan. Perlakuan P0 (kadar fermentasi tepung daun lamtoro 0%), P1 (kadar fermentasi tepung daun lamtoro 10%) , P2 (kadar fermentasi tepung daun lamtoro 20%) dan P3 (kadar fermentasi tepung daun lamtoro 30%). Parameter yang diukur adalah nilai kecernaan protein dan kecernaan energi. Analisa data menggunakan ANOVA (Analysis of variance) dan dilanjutkan dengan Uji Jarak Berganda Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai kecernaan protein dan kecernan energi yang tidak jauh berbeda (P>0.05). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa fermentasi tepung daun lamtoro dianggap mampu menggantikan bungkil kedelai sebagai bahan dasar pembuatan ransum pakan udang vaname dengan kadar fermentasi tepung daun lamtoro hingga 30%. Pemanfaatan fermentasi tepung daun lamtoro sebagai substitusi kedelai pada pakan udang vaname tidak memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda terhadap nilai kecernaan protein dan nilai kecernaan energi.

Authors: Abdulhameed Ali , Said AbdulMuttalib
Published: June 2019

This research aims to introduce a new technique, off-site and self-form segmental concrete masonry arches fabrication, without the need of construction formwork or centering. The innovative construction method in the current study encompasses two construction materials forms the self-form masonry arches, wedge-shape plain concrete voussoirs, and Carbon Fibers Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) composites. The employment of CFRP fabrics was for two main reasons; bond the voussoirs and forming the masonry arches. However, CFRP proved to be efficient for strengthening the extrados of the arch rings under service loadings. An experimental test conducted on four sophisticated masonry arch specimens. Research parameters were using thicker keystone as well as the partial strengthening of the self-form arch ring at the intrados. Major test finding was the use of thicker Keystone, alter the behavior of the self-form arch, considerably increased the load carrying capacity by 79%. Partial strengthening of the intrados with CFRP fabrics of typical arch ring Keystone resulted considerable increased the debonding load of fabrication CFRP sheets by 81%, increase the localized crushing load by 13%, and considerably increase voussoir sliding load by 107%.

Authors: Costa Cristiana , Fernandes Sara , Velosa Ana , Rocha Fernando
Published: June 2019

Sustainability, particularly in construction materials, has been a subject of growing interest. Civil construction is one of the industries where more materials are consumed, which leads to high energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The production of cement, especially clinker is largely responsible for these problems. As a solution, new materials emerge, which do not require much energy for their production, which are the alkaline cements, specifically the geopolymers. Geopolymers are inorganic polymers obtained by the alkaline activation of aluminosilicate precursors. In the present study geopolymers were developed with low grade kaolin (as a precursor) from a Portuguese company. The development of these geopolymers will be, due to their properties, a good solution for rehabilitation of earth buildings, especially in adobe. The development of these geopolymers is also a contribution to the sustainability of kaolin exploitations as it opens new markets for the low grade kaolins, presently not easily commercialized. As mechanical strength of adobe materials ranges in literature from 0.6 to 8.3 MPa, the values obtained for the developed geopolymers (between ~2 to 10 MPa) can be considered as totally adequate.

Published: June 2019

Case:

Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare disorder characterized by massive bone destruction. Consensus is lacking on the effective treatment strategies for GSD. This report presents 2 cases of GSD, a 47-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman, involving the shoulder girdle which were successfully controlled by antiresorptive agents including bisphosphonates and denosumab, the antireceptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand antibody.

Conclusions:

These 2 cases suggest that antiresorptive agents targeting osteoclasts can be efficacious therapeutic options for GSD. This is the first case of GSD we are aware of which showed good response to denosumab treatment.
