O artigo discute a natureza dos ambientes gráficos participativos em tempo real, que correspondem à configuração que viabiliza uma ampla variedade de gêneros de games de ação.  Ao adotar uma definição positiva de virtualidade, argumento que a noção de virtual dá conta do status ontológico desses ambientes. Inicio o argumento apresentando como a oposição entre ação e representação leva o conceito de virtualidade a um beco sem saída para, a seguir, explorar outras abordagens possíveis. Essa exploração culmina na conclusão de que, diferentemente dos modelos abstratos e concretos do jogar mimético não-computadorizado, a simulação da realidade física nos games é capaz de constituir seu próprio e irredutível terreno de percepção e ação. Quando avaliados desde um ponto de vista objetivo e externo, os modelos espaço-visuais gráficos dos jogos de computador são modelos de segunda-ordem. Entretanto, em uma perspectiva fenomenológica, o sujeito é capaz de, de fato verdade obrigado a se engajar com eles como se fossem modelos de primeira-ordem, como se fossem objetos e ambientes concretos, não informacionais. Do ponto de vista do participante, a participação em simulações gráficas em tempo real não apenas simula, mas cria, uma ontologia separada.
O Prazer pelo Fazer: a Conexão Corporal na Identidade Jogador-Avatar
Authors: Nørgård Rikke Toft
Published: July 2019

Este artigo trata sobre a relação entre jogadores e avatares, tendo como base a corporalidade, locomotividade e a habilidade artesanal. Para tanto, a fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty é utilizada como base teórica, assim como, adaptações de frameworks de outros autores, como a locomoção corpórea de Sheets-Johnstone e a habilidade artesanal de Sennet. Pesquisas anteriores sobre a identidade jogador-avatar são discutidas e categorizadas em: visualidade, cognição, dramaturgia, prótese e sociabilidade, explicando cada uma. Posteriormente, a tais categorias serão reintroduzidas tendo como perspectiva o viés corpóreo, de forma a desenvolver novos sentidos e contrapontos, apresentados como: corporalidade digital (esquema corpóreo e perspectiva visual); locomoção e memória corporal; digital corporalidade e incorporação; extensão corporal; e o prazer pelo fazer. Por fim, esse artigo reflete sobre a importância da adoção dessas novas estruturas para se obter uma perspectiva mais completa da identidade jogador-avatar e escapar do imperialismo teórico.

ABOUT THE BASICS OF COMPREHENSIVE GERIATRIC ASSESSMENT
Authors: Farkhutdinova L. M.
Published: July 2019

The article covers the principles of comprehensive geriatric assessment — an interdisciplinary diagnostic procedure aimed at developing a plan of treatment, long-term monitoring and support of an elderly person. The components of a comprehensive geriatric assessment, including the determination of physical, functional, psychological and social status of the subject, are reflected. During the process of analyzing the patient’s physical status, the age-related features of the functioning of various organs and systems, knowledge of which is necessary for the development of a targeted geriatric care strategy, should be taken into account. Involution of the respiratory organs is characterized by a decrease in the respiratory surface, atrophic processes in the mucous and lymphoid tissues, and an increased risk of developing bronchoobstructive syndrome. Degenerative sclerotic changes in the cardiovascular system contribute to the development of circulatory failure, sinus node dysfunction, increased sensitivity to stress factors, orthostatic hypotension, etc. With age, the secretory function of the gastrointestinal tract decreases, and the functional ability of the liver is limited. Reducing the reserve capacity of the kidneys provokes the development of inflammatory processes and contributes to the dehydration of the body. In older people, the risk of developing diabetes, hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism increases. The growth of connective tissue in the blood-forming organs limits the functionality of the blood system. Age-related changes in the musculoskeletal system are characterized by a decrease in muscle mass and the development of osteoporosis. Drug therapy is also being analyzed, since polypharmacy in the elderly is associated with a particularly high risk of developing side effects of the drugs. Assessment of the functional status implies the determination of the self service ability and the degree of a person’s independence from the help of others by his/her ability to perform basic functions, activities in everyday life and instrumental activity. The psycho emotional status is judged by the emotional background of the patient and his/her cognitive functions. Social and household status is estimated by the living conditions of an elderly person. Based on the results of a comprehensive geriatric assessment, an individual management plan is drawn up, the implementation of which is possible with the combined efforts of the geriatrician and a team of medical specialists, relatives, and social workers.
THE USE OF MINERALOCORTICOID RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS IN THE PRE VENTION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Authors: Vatutin N. T. , Shevelok A. N. , Taradin G. G. , Kravchenko I. N.
Published: July 2019

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac rhythm disorders. Its prevalence is about 1 % in the general population and exceeds 7 % in individuals older than 60 years of age. It is known that hyperactivation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a key role in structural and electrical myocardial remodeling in AF. Increased activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system causes inflammation, fibrosis and oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes. Last studies suggest that most of negative effects previously explained by angiotensin-2 may be particularly caused by excessive aldosterone activity. More data about extra-adrenal hormone production (in the myocardium, the vascular wall and even the brain) have appeared, and its receptors were found far beyond the kidneys — in cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, monocytes, and macrophages. It was also shown that aldosterone has a wide profile of pathogenic effects, one of which is the stimulation of atrial myocardial fibrosis as the structural basis for AF. The discovery of new features of aldosterone suggests that blockade of mineralocorticoid receptors may prevent or slow down atrial remodeling and thereby reduce the incidence of AF. The article presents data of the world literature and the results of own studies devoted to the use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in patients with AF. Modern concepts of the role of aldosterone in the arrhythmia development and the main approaches of upstream-therapy are described. The possibilities of using eplerenone and spironolactone in primary and secondary prevention of AF are discussed.

AbstractBasically human are rational beings that always consider the principle of efficiency and effectiveness in performing every action. They will always tend to maximize their rationality. This study aims to analyze the rationality of farmers in responding to institutional changes in rice farming, especially in the procurement of agricultural land and harvest. The paradigm used is postpositives, with a single case study focusing on farmers ' rational and agricultural institutional changes in response to the institutional change. This research conducted in Bonto Marannu Village, Lau District, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi. The data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively, by comparing between the time of institutional change before and after the use of superior seeds of rice farmers. Informants were from farmers ' households, and related actors determined by snowballs/a snowball/the snowball sampling technique. The results showed changes in the rationality of farmers associated with changes in agricultural institutions. If the farmers in the process of production, formerly practice mutual assistance through barter transactions, have transformed into transactions in the form of wages, and differentiation in the community of paddy farmers into agricultural labor, professional labor, farm managers, and entrepreneur farmers as owners capital, as a transition of feudalism to capitalism. This study concludes that farmers have responded to institutional and land-harvesting changes in rational instrumental through innovative and technological developments and has deregulated subsistence roots into commercial-based market economies. Keywords: farmers;  rationality;  institutional change; rice farming

EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF WEPP PREDICTIONS OF RUNOFF AND SOIL LOSSES IN THE LOESS PLATEAU REGION OF CHINA
Authors: Tang Shuangcheng
Published: July 2019

In this paper, we evaluated the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model using 5-yr monitored runoff and sediment data from three different lands cover treatments in the Loess Plateau of China. The results showed that the WEPP model was able to predict 22 out of 37 recorded runoff producing events, and 20 out of 34 recorded sediment producing events. Prediction of annual runoff is more accurate than the prediction of sediment. The correlation coefficients between the annual monitored and simulated runoff ranged from 0.69 to 0.91, and 0.11 to 0.90 for sediment; for the three treatments (bare, corn and grass), the prediction for the grass plot is better than the other two. Soil moisture and storm intensity appeared to have greater effect on both predictability and accuracy of runoff events and sediment yields. For grass plot, Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient was 0.76 in runoff and 0.56 in sediment. WEPP predictions for the grass plot were in agreement with measured values, but no better than using the averaged measured values for the other two treatments (bare and corn plots). Application of the WEPP model should be decided with precautions in the Loess Plateau area
Cervical transforaminal ligaments on MRI and its clinical significance
Authors: Li Junlin , Wang Lina , Zhang Xiaoqin , Ouyang Xuehui
Published: July 2019

Background

This study examined cervical transforaminal ligament(TFL) displays in cadavers and living bodies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and evaluated the correlation between nerve entrapment in the brachial plexus by the TFL and cervical radiculopathy(CR).

Methods

First, 6 normal intact adult cervical specimens were used to calculate the relevant capacity in displaying the cervical TFLs by the three-dimensional fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition (3D-FIESTA). Second, 10 patients with CR and 10 healthy subjects were selected to perform the 3D-FIESTA sequence scan at the C4-T1 intervertebral foramina. The TFL display rate was calculated, and its correlation with CR was analysed.

Results

The microscopic anatomical results showed that the cervical TFL incidence was 39.6%. The relative capacity of the 3D-FIESTA sequence in displaying cervical TFLs showed a 96.6% specificity and a 73.7% sensitivity. In the 10 patients with CR, cervical TFLs were present in 17 intervertebral foramina, of which, 10 cases showed hypertrophy of the TFLs causing nerve entrapment, and corresponding symptoms of CR were found in 8 cases of cervical TFLs. The correlation between nerve root entrapment by the cervical TFL and CR showed a 96.8% specificity and an 80% sensitivity. In the 10 healthy subjects, cervical TFLs were present in 13 intervertebral foramina.

Conclusions

The MR 3D-FIESTA sequence has high clinical value in displaying cervical TFLs in both cadavers and living bodies. If 3D-FIESTA sequencing shows nerve entrapment by the TFL, the possibility of CR caused by this TFL is approximately 80.0%. Conversely, the possibility of CR remains at 3.2%.

A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted with women aged between 45 – 60 years and peri or postmenopausal. Transcripts were analyised thematically.

Results

A total of 12 women were interviewed. Participants viewed menopause as a natural event and obtained most of their menopause-related information from family and friends. Limited English language proficiency affected their capacity to access, understand, evaluate and use menopause-related health information. They identified their Vietnamese speaking General Practitioners (GPs) as a reliable source of health information, but ‘shyness’ prevented them from asking questions about menopause and they suggested that GPs need to initiate menopause-related health conversations.

Conclusion

Low menopause-related health literacy among immigrant Vietnamese-born women may limit their opportunities to access information about and benefit from menopause-related health promoting behaviours. Access to menopause-related health information in relevant community languages is essential to support immigrant women to make well informed menopause-related health decisions.

Published: July 2019

Background

The Musculoskeletal Health Questionnaire (MSK-HQ) has been developed to measure musculoskeletal health status across musculoskeletal conditions and settings. However, the MSK-HQ needs to be further evaluated across settings and different languages.

Objective

The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare measurement properties of the MSK-HQ across Danish (DK) and English (UK) cohorts of patients from primary care physiotherapy services with musculoskeletal pain.

Methods

MSK-HQ was translated into Danish according to international guidelines. Measurement invariance was assessed by differential item functioning (DIF) analyses. Test-retest reliability, measurement error, responsiveness and minimal clinically important change (MCIC) were evaluated and compared between DK (n=153) and UK (n=166) cohorts.

Results

The Danish version demonstrated acceptable face and construct validity. Out of the 14 MSK-HQ items, three items showed DIF for language (pain/stiffness at night, understanding condition and confidence in managing symptoms) and three items showed DIF for pain location (walking, washing/dressing and physical activity levels). Intraclass Correlation Coefficients for test-retest were 0.86 (95% CI 0.81 to 0.91) for DK cohort and 0.77 (95% CI 0.49 to 0.90) for the UK cohort. The systematic measurement error was 1.6 and 3.9 points for the DK and UK cohorts respectively, with random measurement error being 8.6 and 9.9 points. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the change scores against patients’ own judgment at 3 months exceeded 0.70 in both cohorts. Absolute and relative MCIC estimates were 8-10 points and 26% for the DK cohort and 6-8 points and 29% for the UK cohort.

Conclusions

The measurement properties of MSK-HQ were acceptable across countries, but seem more suited for group than individual level evaluation. Researchers and clinicians should be aware that some discrepancy exits and should take the observed measurement error into account when evaluating change in scores over time.

Authors: Yang Liping , Zhang Zhongchen , Zhou Xinxin , Chen Chunxiao
Published: July 2019

Background
Although terminal ileal ulcers can be observed occasionally in colonoscopy examination, the prognosis, clinical significance and treatment guidelines are unclear.
Methods
All patients diagnosed with terminal ileal ulcers from March 2014 to March 2018 were enrolled. We extracted data of gender, age, clinical symptoms, number of terminal ileal ulcers, pathological outcome, treatment programs.
Results
Of 42 individuals, one patient diagnosed with tuberculosis and received anti-tuberculosis treatment. The other 41 individuals chose to follow up or 5-ASA plus probiotics treatment. Logistic regression analysis showed no significant difference in treatment selection and gender (P=0.848), age (P=0.481), ulcers (p=0.116), symptoms (P=0.326). All individuals had good prognosis.
Conclusion
Individuals with terminal ileal ulcers have a good prognosis regardless of follow-up or treatment.

Published: July 2019

Background: Cancer is one of the most common non-communicable diseases and the second cause of death in Iran. The progress in medical technologies and treatment plans has caused the patients to live longer; however, these patients are confronted with psychological challenges and their mental health is influenced because of different reasons. This study is carried out to investigate the mental health status of the cancer patients in the Center for Specific Diseases.
Methods: The present research is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytic study carried out in 2018 in Tehran province, Iran. In the present study, the mental health of the cancer patients referring to the Center for Specific Diseases in Tehran was evaluated in one setting, and no intervention was provided. The research population included 124 cancer patients of Tehran referring to the Center for Specific Diseases.
Results: the overall prevalence of psychiatric disorders in patients under study was 50%. The highest sensitivity to mental disorders in each of the variables was related to men (52.7%), patients aging 40-55 (45.7%), married (51.5%), unemployed (62.5%), and illiterate patients (80%). The findings of this study indicated that there is no statistically significant relationship between the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among patients with cancer and the variables in the study.
Conclusions: The results of this study indicated a high prevalence of depression disorder among cancer patients. Psychosocial stresses caused by cancer cause mental disorders, including depression in patients.

Published: July 2019

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors of elderly patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC).
Methods: Patients diagnosed with mPC between2004 and2014 were identified from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in elderly patients with mPC were examined.
Results: A total of 10784 mPC patients between 65 and 80 years old were included and divided into three age groups. Elderly mPC patients differed from younger patients in many aspects, including marital status, race, gender, T stage, N stage, treatment regimen, prognosis, cause of death, and metastatic characteristics (p<0.001). An analysis of the prognostic factors showed that chemotherapy, as the main treatment for the elderly, can significantly improve their prognosis, while surgery can improve the prognosis of patients between 65 and 80 years old. Other factors, including gender, marital status, T stage, and site of metastasis, had different effects on patients in different age groups.
Conclusion: Elderly patients with mPC are a special group of individuals whose clinical characteristics and prognostic factors are different from those of younger patients and require special treatment and attention.

Published: July 2019

In Winter 2016, root and soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere soil at 10 to 15 cm depth of turfgrass, in the yard of a complex of houses in Caxias, a region near Lisbon, Portugal. The grass (dominated by tall fescue) showed yellow patches, stunting, and poor growth. Several specimens of a ring nematode (50-60 nematodes/100 ml soil) were recovered from soil and identified as Mesocriconema xenoplax (peach ring nematode) based on morphological and morphometrical analysis of females. The observed morphological features were with previous descriptions. Species identification was confirmed through sequencing of the fragment spanning D2/D3 domain of the 28S rDNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Portuguese isolate grouped with M. xenoplax isolates (98% similarity), supporting its identification as M. xenoplax. This is the first report of M. xenoplax from turfgrass in Portugal and in Europe contributing with additional information on the distribution of this phytoparasite.
Integrated Urban Mobility

Published: July 2019

Habitually, urban mobility involves movement of inhabitants within or among urban areas. As cities continue to grow across the world, the resulting unregulated urban sprawl is associated with numerous adverse consequences. If these growing sub-urban areas and city cores are not adequately and efficiently interconnected by different modes of mass rapid transit systems (MRTS) from origin to destination for last mile connectivity, inhabitants continue to commute fittingly by private modes on consistent basis for their daily activities. This aspect thrusts high level of congestion and increases the commuting cost, collectively contributing to the degradation of urban environment and subsequently low quality of urban living often disengaging the city from its inhabitants. Additionally, with the surge in socio-economic profile of urban areas coupled with ICT (Information and Communication Technology) enabled provision of urban services, the conventional notion of urban mobility is altering swiftly. The MRTS needs to develop inventive structure for the planning, designing as well as implementing mechanisms to offer widely accessible (spatially, socially, all age groups and gender types) choices for sustained urban mobility while gradually unfolding the city to its hurried inhabitants at all the possible levels and scales. In this context, this paper attempts to and assess the current status of MRTS in the provision of last mile connectivity through the case study of Bangalore metropolitan city in India. The analysis intends to articulate the rational configurations for achieving efficient and inclusive urban mobility.
Nexus between sanitation and groundwater quality: case study from a hard rock region in India

Published: July 2019

Groundwater quality in the towns of Namakkal and Erumaipatti in India was studied to understand the nexus between surface sanitation and groundwater quality in hard rock regions. In total, 32 wells, both shallow open and deep bore wells, were monitored over a two-year period. The presence of fecal coliforms (FCs) up to 600 CFU/100 mL in wells as deep as 100 m showed that bacteriological contamination had reached deep aquifers through fractures and fissures. Statistical analyses showed that bore wells located in Namakkal were bacteriologically more contaminated than those in Erumaipatti (p = 0.017 for FC) because of urbanization, the type of top soil and the shallow groundwater table. Wells in densely toileted areas of Namakkal were more contaminated than those located in open defecation areas. After replacing a soak pit with a septic tank, concentrations of FC and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the leachate at a depth of 2.1 m reduced from 2,500 to 1,000 CFU/100 mL and from 200 to 50 mg/L, respectively, after 150 days of the construction of septic tanks. To improve the hygiene and sanitation, the provision of toilets along with on-site waste management systems, capable of achieving required effluent quality, are essential.
