Published: July 2019

Visual impairment people require a means of information transfer which different from normal people, it needs to be touched or amplified by audio, including maps that apprise them of the objects and events occurring on Earth. Cartographic Sciences have developed  tactile maps that offers touchable symbols for supporting blind and partially sighted people in recognizing the spatial distribution of geographical phenomena and their intercorrelation. Creating an informative tactile maps need a specific design of symbol, ancillary information, and map reproduction that meets the need and the capacity of its users. Unfortunately, there has been no international standardization for these map features that could be used as a foundation to build a standardization for our national tactile map. Therefore, this research adopted and modified the designs of tactile symbols published by the National Mapping Council of Australia, the Guidelines for Design of Tactile Graphics by American Printing House, the use of tactile variables by Vasconcellos, the Specifications of Topographic Elements Mapping by Bakosurtanal, and the application of visual variables of Bertin for cartographic mapping. The resultant symbol designs from the modification were applied to develop the tactile maps of Yogyakarta City on swell paper. Then, through interviews with map users (visually impaired people in the city), we evaluated these symbols from two aspects, comprehension of tactile variables and the types of the tactile maps required.
Storytelling, Liminality & the Textual Fashioning of a Post-Colonial “Ancient Mariner” in Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist
Authors: Jadwe Majeed U.
Published: July 2019

This paper examines Mohsin Hamid’s 2007 novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist as a post-colonial re-writing of S. T. Coleridge’s narrative poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (1798). A comparative analysis is carried between these two works to establish their affinities in terms of storytelling technicalities and the space of liminality where they position their narrators. The comparative analysis shall prove that Hamid’s affinities with Coleridge’s work are deliberately employed to fashion his central character Changez as a post-colonial ancient mariner, which ultimately lies to the heart of the novel as both a contemporary politico-moral fable and as an act of resistance to post 9/11 American neo-colonialist discourses.

Authors: Nakazi Florence , Babirye Immaculate , Birachi Eliud , Ugen Michael Adrogu
Published: July 2019

Unlike many other Sub-Saharan African countries, for many years Kenya had comparative advantages in the manufacturing of processed bean products. However, for new competitors intending to join the bean processing industry, little is known about marketing strategies for value added bean products. Using data from 90 retailers in the Nairobi and Kiambu counties in Kenya, a two-step econometric procedure-multivariate probit and Poisson regression models were applied to analyse retailers’ marketing strategy decisions. Findings show that information sources, cost of marketing, supply modalities, price of products, and quantities handled significantly influenced retailers’ marketing strategy choice. Surveyed retailers applied varying marketing strategies to market value added bean products. There is need for prospective retailers to choose an appropriate mix of strategies to penetrate the dynamic market with a number of value added bean products, and promote local consumption of value added bean products.
eConsults and Learning Between Primary Care Providers and Specialists
Authors: Liddy Clare , Abu-Hijleh Tala , Joschko Justin , Archibald Douglas , Keely Erin
Published: July 2019

Background and Objectives: Patients in many countries face poor access to specialist care. Electronic consultation (eConsult) improves access by allowing primary care providers (PCPs) and specialists to communicate electronically. As more countries adopt eConsult services, there has been growing interest in leveraging them as educational tools. Our study aimed to assess PCPs’ perspectives on eConsult’s ability to improve collegiality between providers and serve as an educational tool.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative content analysis of free-text comments left by PCPs using the Champlain BASE eConsult service based in Eastern Ontario, Canada. All responses provided between January 1, 2015 and January 31, 2017 that mentioned education or collegiality were included.
Results: PCPs completed 16,712 closeout surveys during the study period, of which 3,601 (22%) included free-text comments. Of these, 223 (6%) included references to education or collegiality. Three prominent themes emerged from the data: building provider relationships, teaching incorporated into answer, and prompting further learning.
Conclusions: PCPs described eConsult’s ability to foster stronger relationships with specialists, deliver responses that provided teaching in multiple areas of their practice, and support further learning that extended beyond the case at hand and into their overall practice. The Champlain BASE eConsult service has educational value for providers. Further study is underway to explore how questions and replies submitted through eConsult can be used to facilitate reflective learning and promote feedback to providers.

Authors: Foster Krys , Stoeckle John , Silverio Alexis , Castellan Christine , Hogue Angela , Gouch Ayanna , Weinstein Lara
Published: July 2019

Background and Objectives: The population surrounding an urban federally qualified health center (FQHC) in Philadelphia has poorer health than Philadelphia overall. Community residents identified aerobics and dance classes as very important services or programs that an FQHC might provide. We sought to measure the impact of participation in a resident physician-led, patient-centered fitness and nutrition class on participants’ attitudes, knowledge, and self-efficacy regarding their health.
Methods: An urban line dancing class and brief healthy eating intervention for adults was held at a YMCA adjacent to a residency-affiliated FQHC weekly for 8 weeks. Pre/postsurveys were administered to assess attitudes and confidence toward physical activity and healthy lifestyles.
Results: Participants’ self-assessment of health and levels of physical activity improved. Confidence in performing everyday activities, doing regular exercise and exercising without making symptoms worse increased. A significant decrease in participants’ physical activity gratification was observed. Participants’ confidence improved in reading food labels for health, but confidence in eating a balanced diet did not improve.
Conclusions: A resident-led fitness and nutrition class, tailored to perceived community needs, generated significant interest and sustained participation. This pilot study furthered development of community infrastructure addressing health, nutrition, and overall fitness, and the results reflect opportunities and challenges of engaging communities in physical fitness.
Behavioral Science Rounds: Identifying and Addressing the Challenging Issues That Residents Face on a Family Medicine Inpatient Service
Authors: Saba George W. , Villela Teresa , Goldschmidt Ronald H.
Published: July 2019

Background and Objectives: Training residents in the care of hospitalized patients offers an opportunity to integrate behavioral science education with medical care and to foster professional growth, given the severity of coexisting medical and psychosocial problems and the formation of intense transient relationships. Rarely do residents have the time or guidance to reflect on how these experiences and relationships affect them. Weekly behavioral science rounds (BSR) provide dedicated time to reflect on and discuss challenging clinical and professional developmental issues arising during inpatient training.
Methods: To understand the range of issues that learners experience, we analyzed facilitator notes of 45 consecutive BSR discussions. Through open coding analysis we identified the common topics and recurring themes raised by residents.
Results: The most common topics related to residents’ emotional responses, clinical challenges, and interpersonal conflicts. We identified frequently recurring themes, including understanding the power and limitations of the physician, defining roles and responsibilities, and articulating personal beliefs and values. Early first-year residents had difficulty acclimating to increased responsibility and worried about competence; later, they experienced strong emotional reactions, feared becoming cynical, and were apprehensive about future leadership roles.
Conclusions: Inpatient BSR can serve as an important educational intervention and professional development tool at a critical time in training. BSR requires a commitment of teaching resources, an assurance that they will occur regularly, and a culture of safety in which residents trust their discussions will be confidential and that they will be treated with respect and caring.
Protective effect of the Rubus chingii Hu. fruit extract on ultraviolet B-induced photoaging via suppression of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in vitro
Authors: She Jie-Mei , Yuan Hui-Hui , Zhang Jin , Si Zhao-Nian , Lan Min-Bo
Published: July 2019

Rubus chingii Hu. is an important traditional Chinese medicine with a beneficial effect on the kidney. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that supporting the kidney has a key role in anti-aging. To the best of our knowledge, the anti-photoaging activity of Rubus chingii Hu. has not been investigated. We investigated the anti-photoaging effects and the underlying mechanism of the ethyl acetate fraction of Rubus chingii Hu. fruit ethanol extract (E-EA) in UVB-induced human fibroblasts (HFF-1). Our results show that E-EA (10-40 ?g/mL) displayed preventive and therapeutic effects on UVB-induced cytotoxicity in HFF-1 cells. E-EA also presented significant anti-photoaging properties in UVB-induced HFF-1 cells by decreasing the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibiting matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP-1) production and promoting type-I procollagen production via suppression of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. These results suggested that E-EA might be a promising anti-photoaging agent to protect the skin from UVB damage, with a potential application in cosmetics.

THE BYZANTINE ICONIC REPRESENTATION OF THE CHERUBIM: SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE POINTS
Authors: PAȘCA-TUȘA Stelian , POPA-BOTA Ioan
Published: July 2019

The aim of this study is to tackle a subject of iconography from a Scriptural perspective. In other words, we wish to study the extent to which the iconic morphology of the cherubim abides by the details mentioned in the Holy Book and assumes the theological message it conveys. We are aware that the Holy Scripture is not the only source for iconography. Icon painters can also use other sources when creating their artistic representations. However, if the morphology they represent originates in the Holy Scripture, then it is compulsory that the elements taken from the biblical texts should be correct and not at all distorted. In our research, we shall focus especially on the Tetramorph, a morphology that has greatly challenged the creativity of icon painters, in order to clarify the mystery of its origin. Contrary to the general view, some terminologists and icon painters considered this morphology proper to the group of the seraphim and not to that of the cherubim. In our endeavour, we shall also use the method of contextualisation and linguistic analysis, but the main working method is specific to the Christian East and places primacy on the unity of the text and the integrity of the theological message.
BASIL THE GREAT ON THE ESCHATOLOGICAL UNITY OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
Authors: TROSTYANSKIY Sergey
Published: July 2019

Basil the Great in the fourth century AD argued that all material entities are constantly carried away by motion. He spoke of the flow of existence as ever pressing on and passing away and never stopping in its course. His general conjecture in respect with spatiotemporal existents was that motion and time constantly shift and twist their ephemeral selves, leading them to annihilation. Hence, no entity that is subject to time persists so as to preserve its essential core. The Body of Christ in its temporal dimension, i.e. the visible Body, may also follow a sort of current. It may also experience constant change. The lack of ontological stability is the main characteristic of all unredeemed existents. The Body of Christ, on the other hand, is not a mere temporal entity. It has an eschatological self that will never be destroyed. This eschatological unity will never fade away. It is ordered by a different kind of time. This article aims to shed light on certain foundational aspects of Basil’s theory of eschatological unity and of the changing self. It endeavors to explicate Basil’s eschatological threads presented in the Hexameron. It attempts to demonstrate that Basil’s subtle and nuanced analysis of the subject offers an explanatory framework capable of making sense of more recent events in ecclesiastical history.
THE POSITION OF FATHER DUMITRU STANILOAE ON THE THEOPHANIES AND MARIAN APPARITIONS OF HIS TIMES
Authors: MUREȘAN Radu Petre
Published: July 2019

During the interwar period, as well as the communist dictatorship, a number of miraculous apparitions occurred in Romania – both theophanies and Marian apparitions. They generated spiritual awakening movements among the members of the Romanian Ortodox Church. Such instances were the visions of shepherd Petre Lupu of Maglavit (1935), the visions of Mother Veronica of Vladimirești Monastery (1937), and those of Sister Virginia, respectively, which resulted in the establishment of the New Jerusalem Monastery in Pucioasa (1955). Like similar phenomena within the Roman-Catholic world, theophanies and Marian apparitions in Romania divided the lay and ecclesiastic elites by generating divergent opinions. This study presents the position of Father Dumitru Stăniloae on these unusual phenomena and their adherents. It is a very difficult issue, generally avoided by theological research as it presupposes a nuanced interpretation, like the one offered by the great theologian on the grounds of his vast erudition and deep theological insights, as well as his personal religious experience.

Consequences of Fiscal Adjustment and Public Finance Management. The Costs of Limiting the Fiscal Imbalance in Eurozone Countries
Authors: Postuła Marta , Tomkiewicz Jacek
Published: July 2019

This article focuses on the effects of corrections to the budgetary policy in eurozone economies. The goal of the text is to check if advancement in implementing modern tools of public management is helpful in the time of fiscal adjustment. We assume that the most important role of a performance approach in conducting fiscal policy is the ability of government to implement active policy meant as structural changes in the composition of public expenditures. In the case of the need to cut general levels of public spending, public sector managers who have knowledge of performance effects of public policies should be able to conduct fiscal adjustment in such a way as to minimise negative outcomes of spending correction on society. The structure of the text is as follows. First, we present some insights on the economic effects of fiscal adjustment. Then, we discuss the concept of performance management presented in the theory and policy agendas of international institutions such as the European Union or the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). Finally, we present the result of an empirical exercise that is designed to combine the level of advancement in implementing performance budgeting (PB) and the social cost of fiscal adjustment in eurozone economies. The most important finding of the research is that PB tools seem to have very limited usefulness in a time of fiscal adjustment. There is no statistical evidence that countries advanced in utilisation of PB tools conduct more active fiscal policy – approach of cutting all expenditures across the border by given percentage rather than looking at priorities and social outcomes of fiscal adjustment dominates in all cases.

(i) F (xy) ± xy ∈ Z(R)

(ii) F ([x, y]) ± [F (x), y] ∈ Z(R)

(iii) F ([x, y]) ± [F (x), F (y)] ∈ Z(R)

(iv) F (x ο y) ± F (x) ο F (y) ∈ Z(R)

(v) [F (x), y] ± [x, F (y)] ∈ Z(R)

(vi) F (x) ο y ± x ο F (y) ∈ Z(R)

for all x, y ∈ I, then R is commutative.
Dielectrical properties of living epidermis and dermis in the frequency range from 1 kHz to 1 MHz
Authors: Tsai B. , Xue H. , Birgersson E. , Ollmar S. , Birgersson U.
Published: July 2019

We determine the in-vivo dielectric properties—resistivity and relative permittivity—of living epidermis and dermis of human skin soaked with a physiological saline solution for one minute between 1 kHz and 1 MHz. This is done by fitting approximate analytical solutions of a mechanistic model for the transport of charges in these layers to a training set comprising impedance measurements at two depth settings on stripped skin on the volar forearm of 24 young subjects. Here, the depth settings are obtained by varying the voltage at a second inject on the electrical-impedance-spectroscopy probe. The model and the dielectric properties are validated with a test set for a third depth setting with overall good agreement. In addition, the means and standard deviations of the thicknesses of living epidermis and dermis are estimated from a literature review as 61±7 μm and 1.0±0.2 mm respectively. Furthermore, extensions to resolve the skin layers in more detail are suggested.
Possibilities in the application of machine learning on bioimpedance time-series

The relation between a biological process and the changes in passive electrical properties of the tissue is often non-linear, in which developing prediction models based on bioimpedance spectra is not trivial. Relevant information on tissue status may also lie in characteristic developments in the bioimpedance spectra over time, often neglected by conventional methods. The aim of this study was to explore possibilities in machine learning methods for time series of bioimpedance spectra, where we used organ ischemia as an example. Based on published data on the development of the bioimpedance spectrum during liver ischemia, a simulation model was made and used to generate sets of synthetic data with different levels of organ-to-organ variation, measurement noise and drift. Three types of artificial neural networks were employed in learning to predict the ischemic duration, based on the simulated datasets. The simulated prediction performance was very dependent on the amount of training examples, the organ-to-organ variation and the selection of input variables from the bioimpedance spectrum. The performance was also affected by noise and drift in the measurement, but a recurrent neural network with long short-term memory units could obtain good predictions even on noisy and drifting measurements. This approach may be relevant for further exploration on several applications of bioimpedance having the purpose of predicting a biological state based on spectra measured over time.
