A história latino-americana recontada por italianos na época do fascismo
Authors: Brandalise Carla
Published: March 2017

Através de uma perspectiva epistemológica e metodológica es-pecífica, os usos políticos do passado, este artigo visa analisar a particular narrativa histórica que a Itália produz na época do fascismo a propósito de sua ligação com a América Latina, em especial, nos anos de 1920. É nesta década que o interesse pelo subcontinente sul-americano aparece com especial força, em meio a uma perspectiva de elevação de prestígio, de disputa de mercados econômicos e anseios de presença da ‘nova’ Itália na região. Aproveitando, inclusive, a produção italiana do passado liberal e de finais do século XIX, faz-se uma reelaborarão e uma recontextualização discursiva na forma de um elenco cognitivo da intrínseca e ‘natural’ relação entre as nações latinas em seu todo. Proposição essa que se encaixa como instrumento mítico-simbólico de inte-gração através de um passado idealizado, muitas vezes, fictício como uma miragem.

“To do something when something is forbidden” — The clean, the sacred and the forbidden in Synya Khanty culture
Authors: Ruttkay-Miklián Eszter
Published: March 2017

Khanty culture in its present state — in the process of language loss and acculturation — still offers a wide field for the examination of notions related to everyday and sacral purity and their embodiment. Earlier research has explored certain details of these notions (e.g., regulations related to animals of mythological role, nutrition taboos and linguistic restrictions), it seems, however, that the concept of purity is more complex than that: it is a fundamental system which plays a central role, encompassing the whole of the traditional Khanty world, which ultimately defines the order of the world. This fact about the Khanty culture has practically not yet been articulated. The present research aims to explore the intersections of notions of purity and order in Khanty culture and to analyze the individual sub-fields.
A hospice önkéntesség lélektani vonatkozásainak szakirodalmi áttekintése
Authors: Dorner László , Fürné Mosoni Anita , Hatvani Andrea
Published: March 2017

Háttér és célkitűzések

Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy áttekintse és rendszerezze a hospice önkéntesség lélektani vonatkozásait vizsgáló kutatások elmúlt évtizedekben született eredményeit, különös tekintettel az önkéntes tevékenységeinek, személyiség- és motivációs hátterének kutatásaira.

Módszer

Tudományos adatbázisokban történő kulcsszavas keresés és a téma szempontjából releváns magyar (Kharón Thanatológiai Szemle) és angol nyelvű közlemények (n = 60) kiválasztása után azok szisztematikus szakirodalmi áttekintése különböző témák alapján (motivációk, személyiség, észlelt kihívások, stressztényezők).

Eredmények

A kutatások nagy része kiemeli, hogy míg a hospice szolgáltatások elkezdése, majd később folytatása is jelentős összefüggést mutat a magas szintű altruisztikus motivációkkal (pl. társadalmi felelősségvállalás, mások fájdalmának enyhítésére irányuló vágy, proszociális értékek kifejezése, morális felelősség), addig az egoisztikus motivációk (pl. önértékelés növelése, személyes növekedés, szociális kapcsolatok, karrier) főként az önkéntesség kezdeti szakaszában fontosak, és a hosszú távú önkéntessé válás során már kevésbé meghatározónak tekinthetők. Bár a személyes érintettség (pl. egy hozzátartozó halála vagy saját betegség) gyakori motívum az önkéntesség elkezdésének hátterében, a hosszú távú önkéntessé válásra az önkéntesként megélt tapasztalatok (a valahová tartozás érzése, jelentőségteljes munka végzése és a hospice team tagjaival való hatékony együttműködés) gyakorolják a legjelentősebb hatást. Az önkéntesek személyiségvonásait vizsgálva az életkori vagy nemi sztenderdekhez, illetve az önkéntes tevékenységeket nem végzőkhöz képest általában magasabb Extraverzió, Barátságosság és Nyitottság, valamint alacsonyabb Neuroticizmus pontszámokat találunk. Természetesen az további vizsgálat tárgyát képezheti, hogy ez az eredmény az önkéntesség hatására jött létre, vagy eleve azok jelentkeztek önkéntesnek, akik ezekkel a pontszámokkal voltak jellemezhetőek. Ugyancsak összekapcsolódik a hospice önkéntességgel a magasabb empátiás törődés, gondoskodásigény és szociális nézőpontváltásra való képesség is, amelyek nélkül a nehéz érzelmi helyzetekkel (kliensek elvesztése, nővérektől és hozzátartozóktól érkező elutasítás) való hatékony megküzdés elképzelhetetlennek tűnik.

Következtetések

A hospice önkéntesség egy magas frusztrációs toleranciát, folyamatos önismereti munkát és hatékony megküzdési módokat igénylő önkéntességtípus. Ennek lélektani szempontú vizsgálatakor egyaránt figyelembe kell vennünk az önkéntes személyre és az önkéntesség haszonélvezőjének pszichés jellemzőire gyakorolt hatást.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Content: There remains much debate over the 'best' method for selecting students in to medicine. This study aimed to assess the predictive validity of four different selection tools with academic performance outcomes in first-year undergraduate medical students. Methods: Regression analyses were conducted between admission scores on previous academic performance - the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT), Multiple-Mini Interview (MMI) and the Personal Qualities Assessment (PQA) with student performance in first-year assessments of Multiple Choice Questions, Short Answer Questions, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Tutor ratings in four cohorts of students (N = 604, 90%). Results: All four selection tools were found to have significant predictive associations with one or more measures of student performance in Year One of undergraduate medicine. UMAT, ATAR and MMI scores consistently predicted first year performance on a number of outcomes. ATAR was the only selection tool to predict the likelihood of making satisfactory progress overall. Conclusions: All four selection tools play a contributing role in predicting academic performance in first year medical students. Further research is required to assess the validity of selection tools in predicting performance in the later years of medicine.
Safety and Tolerability of PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors Compared with Chemotherapy in Patients with Advanced Cancer: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Nishijima Tomohiro F. , Shachar Shlomit S. , Nyrop Kirsten A. , Muss Hyman B.
Published: March 2017

Background

Compared with chemotherapy, significant improvement in survival outcomes with the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors nivolumab and pembrolizumab and the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor atezolizumab has been shown in several types of advanced solid tumors. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare safety and tolerability between PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and chemotherapy.

Methods

PubMed and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) databases were searched 1966 to September 2016. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing single-agent U.S. Food and Drug Administration–approved PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, or atezolizumab) with chemotherapy in cancer patients reporting any all-grade (1–4) or high-grade (3–4) adverse events (AEs), all- or high-grade treatment-related symptoms, hematologic toxicities and immune-related AEs, treatment discontinuation due to toxicities, or treatment-related deaths. The summary incidence, relative risk, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.

Results

A total of 3,450 patients from 7 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis: 4 nivolumab, 2 pembrolizumab, and 1 atezolizumab trials. The underlying malignancies included were non-small cell lung cancer (4 trials) and melanoma (3 trials). Compared with chemotherapy, the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors had a significantly lower risk of all- and high-grade fatigue, sensory neuropathy, diarrhea and hematologic toxicities, all-grade anorexia, nausea, and constipation, any all- and high-grade AEs, and treatment discontinuation. There was an increased risk of all-grade rash, pruritus, colitis, aminotransferase elevations, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism, and all- and high-grade pneumonitis with PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

Conclusion

PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are overall better tolerated than chemotherapy. Our results provide further evidence supporting the favorable risk/benefit ratio for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

Published: March 2017

Background: Osteoporosis is a major public health problem, associated with substantial morbidity and socio-economic burden. The objective of the present study was to screen the general population for osteoporosis in a rural area of Jammu region. Methods: 3 screening camps were conducted at 6 monthly intervals between the time period 2015-2016, at the Accidental Hospital, Chowki Choura, which is a rural area of district Jammu, J&K. A total of 270 subjects in the age group 20 to 80 years were subjected to screening through BMD measurements using calcaneal QUS and they were analyzed on the basis of T-scores. Results: Out of 270 subjects, 120 were males and 150 were females. Among 120 males, 68 were in the age group of 20 - 49 years, and 52 were above 50 years. In the age group 20-49 years, 26 males (38.2%) had osteopenia, and 4 (5.9%) had osteoporosis. In males above 50 years of age, 35 (67.3%) had osteopenia and 6 (11.5%) had osteoporosis. Out of 150 females, 94 were in the age groups 20-49 years, and 56 were above 50 years of age. In the age group 20-49 years, 51 females (54.3%) had osteopenia and 12 (12.8%) had osteoporosis. In females above 50 years of age, 32 (57.1%) had osteopenia and 15 (26.8%) had osteoporosis. Conclusions: The overall prevalence of osteoporosis among screened population was 13.7%. It increased with age in both males and females; however the prevalence of osteoporosis was more among females as compared to males (18% vs. 8.3% respectively).
Perception of Marathi consonant manner contrasts in children with and without hearing impairment
Authors: Nandurkar Aparna , Mukundan Geetha
Published: March 2017

Background: Very few published studies have reported phoneme contrasts in children with and without hearing impairment in Indian languages. The present study is aimed at comparing perception of manner contrasts in 6 to 8 year old Marathi children with normal hearing and those with hearing impairment using hearing aids and cochlear implants.

Methods: Two hundred 6 to 8 year olds participated across three groups: 106 with normal hearing (NH), 47 with hearing aids (HA) and 47 with cochlear implants (CI). Perception of four consonant manner contrasts was assessed using a four-alternative, forced choice picture-pointing task using recorded minimal pairs with CVC or CVCV words: a) Stop vs. Fricative; b) Stop vs. Nasal; c) Stop vs. Affricate and d) Aspiration.  

Results: All NH participants obtained ceiling scores for stop vs. fricative and stop vs. nasal contrasts. NH participants performed significantly better than participants with CI on all contrasts. Performance of HA participants was more variable and significantly poorer than the CI participants. Children implanted at or before 4 years of age and those using CI for more than 2.5 years performed consistently better on all contrasts as compared to those implanted after 4 years of age and using it for less than 2.5 years. Children fitted with HA at or after 2.5 years of age performed consistently better than those fitted before 2.5 years of age. Participants with average hearing aided thresholds 45 dB HL or lower (better) performed better than those with average aided thresholds above 45 dB HL.

Conclusions: Normative data on perception of various manner contrasts in Marathi is generated. Phoneme perception skills of children with NH are significantly better than those of children with CI and HA.

Published: March 2017

Background: Head and neck malignancies are of common occurrence in India requiring early diagnosis for effective reconstruction by various surgical techniques. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of involvement of head and neck malignancies and to evaluate various surgical resection and reconstruction techniques used in the management of head and neck malignancies.

Methods: This is a retrospective study carried out in the Department of ENT and Head & Neck Surgery And Surgical Oncology, Karnataka Institute Of Medical Sciences, Hubballi, from July 2015 to December 2016. All patients who underwent surgery for head and neck malignancy were included in our study.  

Results: Retrospective analysis of our study yielded 36 cases of which 29 patients were male and 7 were female. In our study commonest age group was 6th and 7th decade constituting 55.55%. The most common site involved was oral cavity constituting about 63.88%. The most common sub-site in oral cavity malignancy was found to be anterior 2/3rdof tongue (25%), followed by lip and buccal mucosa each of which constituted 13.88%.

Conclusions: In our study oral cavity was the most common site to be involved in head and neck malignancies, of which anterior 2/3rd of tongue is the most common sub-site. Majority of the patients underwent tumour resection with flap reconstruction. Locoregional flaps form an efficient alternative in cases where primary closure is not possible without compromising the aesthetic outcomes.

Published: March 2017

Background: A variety of inflammatory, non neoplastic and neoplastic masses involving nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx are commonly encountered in ENT clinics. The objective was to study the demographic profile, clinical presentation, radiological findings and its correlation with the histopathological findings of masses of nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx.

Methods: The study was conducted on patients having sinonasal and nasopharyngeal masses admitted in dept of ENT, GMC, Patiala from August 2014 to July 2016. The study was designed to evaluate demographic distribution, clinicopathological features, radiological findings of sinonasal and nasopharyngeal masses and to evaluate the correlation of clinical and radiological findings with histopathological diagnosis.  

Results: Analysis of 50 cases of masses in nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx was done. Male to female ratio was 1.38:1. The commonest site was nasal cavity followed by paranasal sinuses. Nasal polyp was the most common non-neoplastic lesion. Among the neoplastic lesions studied, inverted papilloma was the most common benign lesion and squamous cell carcinoma was the most common malignant lesion observed.

Conclusions: For proper evaluation of sinonasal and nasopharyngeal masses, clinical, radiological and histopathological evaluation should be done in all patients. Although radiology provides a road map to endoscopic surgeons for any existing or impending complications but histopathology always gives a confirmatory diagnosis.
BAD JOBS, BAD PARENTS? HOW JOB CHARACTERISTICS RELATE TO TIME WITH CHILDREN AND SELF-EVALUATIONS OF PARENTS
Authors: Speights Sabrina L. , Grubbs Samuel J. , Rubin Beth A.
Published: March 2017

Using a data set of employed parents in the United States, the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce, this paper examines work characteristics, the amount of time parents spend with their children, and how parents evaluate themselves in their parenting role (their “self-evaluations as parents”). The results indicate that although work hours correlate with time spent with children, they do not correlate with parents’ self-evaluations. Autonomy is critical to both parenting outcomes, even after controlling for time spent with children. Family structure is also correlated with time spent with children, but not with self-evaluations. These findings indicate that for working parents, some of the characteristics of their work influence both the amount of time spent with children and the degree to which they feel they are good parents.

The present research proposes to diversify the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with rotating wings for applications in the agricultural sector. For this we have analyzed and designed an unmanned aircraft. In first instance the applications of this type of aircraft in this sector were reviewed to determine possible design conditions that would aid in the sizing and design of the aircraft. Once the requirements had been determined, aerodynamic analysis was carried out to size up and launch the required power output for the craft. This in order to optimize the weight and autonomous fight time to finally design an aircraft prototype built in carbon fiber with the aid of fault theories as applied to composite materials. At the end of the research, an unmanned aircraft of 6 rotors, each with an installed power supply of 700W was designed. The aircraft has an autonomous flight time of 40 minutes without a payload, 20 minutes with a payload of 3Kg, and 8 minutes with a payload of 5Kg. The commercial application of these aircraft are the monitoring of land and fumigation in inaccessible areas.
Perception of Building Occupants on the use of Generating Sets
Authors: Wahab A.B
Published: March 2017

Poor power supply is a major bottleneck to the technological development of the country and this has forced building occupants to shift to dependence on generating sets of different types and brand which subject its users to myriad of effects. This study was aimed at assessing perception of the users of generators in buildings on the effects associated with its usage in Ibadan Metropolis, Nigeria. The study area was divided into core, transition and suburban residential zones. Multistage and quota sampling techniques were used to select respondents sampled in residential and commercial buildings respectively. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyse data collected. The study showed that 50.29%, 51.19%, 45.90% of residential buildings’ respondents in the core, transition and suburban zone while 56.41%, 43.33% and 42.86% of occupants of commercial buildings in the corresponding core, transition and suburban zone indicated that hearing problem was the most physiological effect that the use of generating sets exposed them to. Cut injuries from the elcetro-mechanical components of generating sets were the most prominent injuries had by the occupants of residential buildings while irritation of the eyes during refueling was the most significant effect had by respondents in the commercial buildings. High cost of fuel and damage to electrical appliances were the most uncomfortable indicator with uncomfortability index of 0.804 and 0.776 in residential and commercial buildings respectively. The study also found that the use of generating sets had caused structional, functional and aesthetical effects on the building elements. It was recommended that there is dire need on the part of government to enhance environmental sustainability by provision of sustainable energy sources to buildings in view of the effects associated with the use of generating sets.

The contribution of fish farming is relatively low in the national consumption of fish products. Yet the country has a significant socio-natural potential, which well valued can reduce fish imports and enhance food security. This study, based on a survey conducted in the two main areas of extensive fish farming (Central West and Southwest), was to analyze the technical and socioeconomic determinants of family fish farming to support the dynamic development of this activity. The results showed that 98% of fish farmers are men of 51 to 60 years old. Most of them are illiterate practicing agriculture as their main activity. Farming infrastructure are usually composed of dams ponds (90%) of 0.25-1.5 ha, and ponds of 0.1 ha. Water was provided either by river (95%) or groundwater (5%). On average most farms are of mall size (3 ha) and were acquired by purchasing lands. Fish farmers mainly practiced mixed farming of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Heterotis (Heterotis niloticus). In 60% of the cases, fish farming is associated with rice cultivation practiced in the shallows. Fish were mainly fed with rice bran. An important number of farmers (72%) practiced sexing of in order to improve their yields. Furthermore, 60% of them have a lower production to 6 tons per year, and fish were old between 1500 and 2000 CFA (1 FCFA=0,0014 euros) per kg leading to an average annual income of less than 5 million CFA francs.

Cocoa is one of the most significant assets in the ecuadorian agricultural structure, which also provides a good source of income for thousands of farmworker families. However, fertilization research works in cocoa cultivation have been relatively scarce. Decades of global research have shown that mycorrhizal fungi determine the fertilization and conservation of agrosystems. Fertilization is considered to be among the cultural and agricultural practices affecting mycorrhizas, which diminishes or prevents the fungal colonization. The objectives of research works were the following: the characterization of mycorrhiza species associated with cocoa, to determine the effects of nitrogen and phosphate fertilization in plant population and to identify the critical dose affecting the fungus development. A factorial design was used (AxBxC), with two (2) application systems, four (4) doses of nitrogen fertilizer, and two (2) doses of phosphate fertilizer with three repetitions. The turkey’s test was used to evaluate means with confidence interval of 95%. The evaluated variables were: diameter and length of cocoa pods, number of cocoa pods per tree, index of cocoa beans and almond yield per hectare, as well as, mycorrhizal spore counting, percentage of mycorrhizal fungi colonization, visual density of endophyte, and characterization of mycorrhiza species. The results concluded that the application of 100 Kg/ha N + 70 kg/ha P in the system below the soil surface, achieved yield increments of 68% over the absolute witness. The same dose and application method, increased the number of spores per gram of soil, mycelium colonization and density of mycorrhizal endophyte in roots.

Published: March 2017

Health problems have been observed in rabbits at low DEP concentration. The subject (animal) showed signs of chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD). CT scan of the biopsy reveals significant emphysematous lesions. DEP grain causes inflammation of lung tissues around sites of deposition. Observations of tissue after formalin fixation reveal brown spots around the points of impact. It also reveals the double organic and inorganic aspect of DEPs. The organic compounds dissolve through slow diffusion in the lung physiological fluid while the inorganic part is partly handled by macrophages (phagocytosis).
Cambios en la película lagrimal con el uso simultáneo de lentes de contacto y tratamientos anticonceptivos hormonales

Published: March 2017

En la actualidad, cada vez más hombres y mujeres han empezado a utilizar métodos anticonceptivos con el fin de limitar el número de hijos que desean tener. Los anticonceptivos están compuestos por hormonas como la progestina y los estrógenos. El uso de estos produce cambios hormonales que repercuten sistémicamente en el cuerpo, lo que puede generar alteraciones oculares, específicamente en la película lagrimal (PL). Así mismo, la PL puede sufrir transformaciones en su estructura con el uso de lentes de contacto (LC). El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer a los profesionales de la salud visual los cambios en la PL con el uso simultáneo de LC y tratamientos anticonceptivos hormonales, con el fin de mejorar la práctica clínica, especialmente en la adaptación de LC. La investigación se desarrolló por medio de una revisión bibliográfica en la que se recopilaron y correlacionaron estudios, artículos y literatura en los que se analiza el tema. Como conclusión, se puede afirmar que las hormonas sexuales como los estrógenos, la progesterona, la prolactina y los andrógenos disminuyen la calidad de la PL. La alteración de las concentraciones hormonales y los LC producen cambios en los lípidos y las proteínas de las glándulas de Meibomio (GM), lo que hace que se generen problemas de ojo seco.

Las leyes del mercado le plantean a la sociedad actual las nuevas reglas de vida y de las relaciones humanas, por lo tanto, busca por necesidad, nuevas opciones de convivencia y hasta sobrevivencia, frente a los problemas globales como la pobreza, la desigualdad económica, el terrorismo global, y el sinsentido de una juventud ahistórica. (Bauman, 2009, p. 266). Ante esta situación, la filosofía y la teología deben plantear y generar nuevos espacios de diálogo, análisis y crítica para resignificar el concepto de ciudadanía, relacionado con la dignidad humana y los derechos humanos. En primer lugar, se presentan las condiciones de posibilidad para el multiculturalismo ante la filosofía y la teología, posteriormente una lectura dialógica entre los autores Claude Geffré y Adela Cortina, y, por último, la necesidad de buscar criterios y principios al momento de reconocer la importancia de la búsqueda de la dignidad de la vida humana en un mundo dehumanos.
Traditional animal breeding of cattle to improve carcass composition and meat quality
Authors:   University of Nebraska, USA, Spangler Matt
Published: March 2017

Genetic selection for carcass attributes such as marbling and tenderness is relatively new compared to selection for growth traits. Estimated breeding values (EBVs) allow for the comparison of animals for their genetic potential as parents for a given trait. This chapter reviews the role of EBVs, how they are calculated and their use in selection for carcass composition and meat quality.
Beef carcass grading and classification

The biochemical understanding of tenderization has helped in the design of more targeted approaches to improve beef tenderness through the utilization of specific enzymes. There has also been development of technologies such as SmartStretch™ and the Pi-Vac Elasto-Pack System®, which offer industry scope to improve the tenderness of specific muscles, and there is scope to combine technologies as these techniques have the potential to reduce the time required to age beef to reach acceptability thresholds. Other technologies such as pulse electric field and high-pressure processing may have specific application in the future, but scaling up the technology is a significant challenge. To meet consumer demands, grading systems that go to the cut and even muscle level are required so that the inherent variation within and between carcasses can be accounted for and value maximized.
Factors affecting flavour development in beef
Authors:   Texas A&M University, USA, Kerth Chris R.
Published: March 2017

Many attributes of the eating quality, especially tenderness, of beef have received much attention in research over the years. However, it has been widely accepted that one of the major attributes that make beef unique is its flavour; in fact, recent research has shown that it is flavour that is the quality attribute that drives consumer demand for beef. This chapter will explain the basic science of assessing flavour along with the factors that impact the development of beef flavour. This will include animal nutrition and genetics, product storage and processing, cookery, and research methods commonly used to assess beef flavour.
Sustainability Issues and Challenges of Monoculture Cropping Pattern in Farming of Haryana
Authors: . Nisha
Published: March 2017

Green revolution, which was ushered in 1966, has considerably changed the scenario of Indian agriculture. But Monotonous cropping (mono crop) systems of rice and wheat pose serious threats for agriculture sustainability. The study examines the area and crops rotation of various crops in farming and emerging issues and challenges of sustainability in agriculture. The result of the study revealed that monocultures agriculture issues and crops rotation pattern has increases the environmental imbalance because the only staple crops are plough in the field which requires the lot of fertilizer and irrigation. The rice and wheat cropping pattern arise many environmental problems, e.g. water logging, soil salinity and exploitation of the natural resources because both the crops are highly water and chemical intensive. The cropping system in has unnecessarily become energy intensive and affecting the static ecological balance in agriculture has degrades the environment and sustainability.
