Added lower limb mass does not affect biomechanical asymmetry but increases metabolic power in runners with a unilateral transtibial amputation
Authors: Alcantara Ryan , Beck Owen , Grabowski Alena
Published: October 2019

Purpose: We determined the metabolic and biomechanical effects of adding mass to the running-specific prosthesis (RSP) and biological foot of individuals with a unilateral transtibial amputation (TTA) during running.Methods: 10 individuals (8 males, 2 females) with a TTA ran on a force-measuring treadmill at 2.5 m/s with 100 g and 300 g added to their RSP alone or to their RSP and biological foot while we measured their metabolic rates and calculated peak vGRF, stance-average vGRF, and step time symmetry indices.Results: For every 100 g added to the RSP alone, metabolic power increased by 0.86% (p = 0.007) and for every 100 g added to the RSP and biological foot, metabolic power increased by 1.74% (p < 0.001) during running. Adding mass had no effect on peak vGRF (p = 0.102), stance-average vGRF (p = 0.675), or step time (p = 0.413) symmetry indices. We also found that the swing time of the affected leg was significantly shorter than the unaffected leg across conditions (p < 0.007).Conclusions: Adding mass to the lower limbs of runners with a TTA increased metabolic power by more than ~1%, which has been reported for those without an amputation. We found no effect of added mass on biomechanical asymmetry, but the affected leg had consistently shorter swing times than the unaffected leg. This suggests that individuals with a TTA maintain biomechanical asymmetries despite changes in RSP mass and that lightweight prostheses could improve performance by minimizing metabolic power without affecting biomechanical asymmetry.

Published: October 2019

Introducción: La práctica y deseo sexual son importantes durante toda la vida de hombres y mujeres, en este sentido, no hay motivo para creer que a más edad desaparece el interés o las prácticas sexuales. Es fundamental resaltar que el placer no solo es cuestión del aparato genital, se basa en una serie de excitaciones y actividades efectuadas desde los primeros años; por lo general, a la sexualidad se la relaciona con la juventud, incrementando muchas teorías inciertas acerca de la sexualidad en la vejez.

Objetivo: Identificar la relación de la edad y el sexo en la práctica y deseo sexual de los adultos mayores del cantón Catamayo, provincia de Loja en el primer semestre del año 2018

Metodología: Se diseñó y aplicó un instrumento fiable considerando las características y variables de estudio; el análisis e interpretación de datos fue posible mediante el uso del programa estadístico SPSS v. 24. El estudio es de tipo prospectivo, descriptivo, cuantitativo no experimental, debido a que se observaron los fenómenos tal como se desarrollaron en su contexto natural, el diseño transversal de causalidad nos permitió describir las relaciones entre los adultos mayores de ambos sexos relacionados con la práctica y deseo sexual.

Resultados: Se identificó una relación estadística significativa entre la edad y el sexo con la práctica y deseo sexual.

Conclusiones: La creencia de que el sexo y la edad, se relacionan directamente con la actividad sexual, ha provocado desatención a una de las actividades que provee mayor calidad de vida, la sexualidad; sin embargo, la mayoría de las personas de edad avanzada son capaces de tener relaciones y de sentir placer en toda la gama de las actividades como sucede en las personas más jóvenes

Authors: Poudel Uddab , Pantha Saurav , Kaphle Krishna
Published: October 2019

Background Swine are the most important meat animal, famous for white meat, which are prepared as ham, bacon, gammon, sausages and pork. Swine are valuable animals and they are physiologically, immunologically and anatomically similar to humans and their organ can be transplanted to the humans. Due to modernization, the cultural food restriction has lost in the people of urban communities and among the younger generations in Nepal. Gradually changing feeding habit of Nepalese has proven pork to be a useful addition to the food menu. Not only 8.7 lakhs swine in Nepal but the global pig population which occupy 769.05 million are suffering every day from new challenges and threats from very harmful pathogens and diseases like swine dysentery, coccidiosis, swine influenza, etc. Swine influenza is highly contagious rapidly spreading zoonotic viral disease of pigs characterized by febrile respiratory disease often complicated with secondary bacterial infections. Vaccines are only tool for prophylactic measures. There is big challenge for vaccine researchers, manufacturers and scientists for development of effective vaccine regarding swine influenza. Currently available flu vaccines are capable of homologous protection of virus but fail to induce cross protection against frequently evolving heterologous viruses. In this review, we discuss the status of novel nanoparticle-based approach of swine influenza virus vaccine development contributed significantly by Nepalese scientist and the future directions to control this economically important swine disease.
The Role of Honors Teaching Assistants as Community Builders
Authors: Grassel Meghan , Holmquist Hanna , Bott-Knutson Rebecca
Published: October 2019

Within the Van D. and Barbara B. Fishback Honors College at South Dakota State University (SDSU), undergraduate teaching assistants (TAs) are engaged to mentor small groups of students in our first-year Honors Orientation classes. These near-peer guided small groups simulate the benefits of smaller classes within larger sections and promote relationship building within honors. To assess the value of having teaching assistants in these classes, we surveyed both the students enrolled in Honors Orientation as well as the undergraduate TAs. Students felt that relationships, academic support, and smaller group sizes were benefits of TAs in the classroom. The TAs believed the relationships they formed with other students were the primary benefit to their experience, along with growth in teaching and mentoring skills. These results indicate our teaching assistants are important connections between first-year students and the Fishback Honors College.

Trends and Cycles in the Publication of Solo Papers in Business and Economics Journals
Authors: Moosa Imad , Li Larry
Published: October 2019

By examining publication data for seven top business and economics journals over the period 1980–2015, we find that the proportion of solo papers declined while papers with more than three authors increased, on average. We also find positive correlation between the proportion of solo papers and a journal’s acceptance rate. The rise in multi-authored papers can be explained as a response to the benefits conferred by research collaboration and the publish-or-perish culture that has led to tough competition for limited space in reputed journals. While research collaboration is beneficial, we put forward a case for the advantages of solo papers.

Published: October 2019

Policy makers in the Philippines are focusing on the gaps between the knowledge and skills provided by higher educational institutions and the job opportunities available in the labor market. Graduates are often faced with challenges in looking for jobs right after graduation, thus, schools play a crucial role in ensuring that students are equipped with knowledge and competency skills.

This study examines the level of employability and competence skills of the 309 graduating students taking up different degree programs of The Fisher Valley College located in Taguig City, Metro Manila. About 17.8% of the respondents are currently working and 21.7% wanted to work in the service sector. More than half of the total respondents wanted to work in the government. Most of the respondents will look for a job immediately after graduation. Communication skills are the most important of skills in order for them to get hired in their first job applications. The most important factor identified when selecting an organization or company for work is when it provides ample opportunities for them for career advancement. Among work-related values, respondents considered love for God and perseverance and hard work as the most important.

Five components of employability skills were identified: (1) problem-solving and analytic; (2) learning; (3) personal organization and time management; (4) creativity, innovation, and change; and (5) personal strengths. Overall, students assessed that these skills are very important in employment. However, they reported lower competency levels on these skills particularly on solving problems, identifying essential components of the problem, sorting out the relevant data to solve the problem, and contributing to group problem solving.

It is very important for all sectors, i.e., schools, government, and industry, to prepare the students acquire the necessary skills and provide them with opportunities as they enter the labor market.

Globalization Influence on Alternative Trajectories to Family Formation in Africa
Authors: Ayandele Olusola , Popoola Olugbenga A
Published: October 2019

Family is the most basic institution of society with several socialization functions. Previously, the traditional “normative” family in Africa was a large household made-up of the extended family. Later, globalization processes led to the institutionalization of the nuclear family arrangement as the “typical” married-couple family setting. Currently, the agents of globalization have popularized and made single-parent families (having child/children without being married), and a two-parent cohabiting family (living with one’s partner without being married) lost some social stigma in many African societies. Single-parenthood and cohabitation are becoming “trendy” family structure in many African societies. Guided by the structural functionalism approach, the influence of globalization on the African family structure was discussed. Data from Demographic Health Surveys, World Family Map and various studies from some sub-Saharan African countries were used to examine the prevalence of the married-couple, cohabiting-couple, and single-parent family structures. Since the family is the most prominent family structure in Africa, the society, governmental and non-governmental agencies, education and religious institutions, as well as clinical and social services, should be attuned to the currently diverse “new normal” family systems to ensure that families thrive.

The article thoroughly analyzes the basics, argumentation, possibilities of influencing the personality and society of the Christian religious moral imperative, compares comparatively with similar possibilities of influencing the culture of secular ethics.
Comparative Analysis of Concepts of War and Peace in Muslim and Christian Traditions
Authors: Semchynskiy K.
Published: October 2019

Theologians have repeatedly addressed the issues of the common and different in Islam and Christianity. With respect to the concepts of war and peace, despite some differences, there is a great deal in common in how they view conflict with violence and how they limit the harmful effects of such a conflict. Both religious traditions rate war as evil. Emphasis is placed on the need for peace as a basis for human existence. The commandment "do not kill" in one form or another is given both in the Bible and in the Qur'an: "Jesus said to him, '... you know the commandments: do not kill ...'; "Whoever killed even one soul - except for the punishment for killing or spreading disobedience on earth - is like killing all mankind." The use of military force is an inevitable evil and is only allowed as a last resort. Both traditions agree that there should be no forced conversion to religion, and that there should be restrictive conditions to limit the use of force, violence and war. These restrictions are traditionally divided into those relating to the initiation of war (ad bellum conditions) and war (conditions in bello).

The experience of self-sufficiency in mysticism of the twentieth century
Authors: Murashkin Mykhailo G.
Published: October 2019

Mysticism is a religious practice, and philosophical mysticism is a reflection on this practice. They distinguish between theistic mysticism as classical, where the absolute is a personal God, and non-theistic as non-classical, where the personal God is replaced by an impersonal transcendental beginning, such as "Tao" in Taoism, "Shunyata" in Buddhism, or "One" in Neo-Platonism. Both classical (theistic) and non-classical (non-theistic) mysticism suggest the need for mystical practice. But in the second half of the twentieth century, post-theistic mysticism arises, which completely rejects mystical practice and is considered post-classical. The emergence of post-non-classical mysticism in the twentieth century coincides with the emergence of the post-non-classical direction in the general culture, that is, with postmodernism. Both classical, non-classical and post-classical mysticism describe the characteristics of a person's state of self-sufficiency. Only the philosophical mysticism of the classical and non-classical directions connects the emergence of this state of self-sufficiency in the mystic with its practice, and the post-non-classical direction denies this practice.

Este artículo discute la capacidad colaborativa entre docentes como elemento fundamental de la cultura de los centros y especialmente relevante dado el alto grado de aislamiento docente en el caso español, revisa la evidencia que liga colaboración con desarrollo del profesorado y recoge elementos necesarios para potenciar espacios colaborativos en los centros junto a los retos asociados a ellos.
Financiación Universitaria : desafíos y soluciones potenciales
Authors: Montalbán Castilla José
Published: October 2019

Algunos de los desafíos fundamentales de los sistemas universitarios de los países desarrollados son la regresividad de la financiación vía impuestos generales; la presión en sus presupuestos públicos ocasionada por el incremento del número de estudiantes; el bajo rendimiento de sus instituciones universitarias y estudiantes; o el acceso desigual por nivel socioeconómico. Este artículo analiza cómo un cambio del sistema actual financiado con impuestos generales por uno basado en préstamos contingentes a la renta podría ayudar a dar solución a varios de estos problemas. El estudio analiza las implicaciones de eficiencia y equidad de cuatro sistemas habituales (financiados por impuestos o préstamos), con una aplicación especial para España.
¿Es el sistema español un sistema educativo innovador?
Authors: Zubillaga del Río Ainara
Published: October 2019

La construcción de un sistema educativo innovador requiere de algo más que la acumulación de prácticas innovadoras. Los datos evidencian que, a pesar de los avances hechos en materia de innovación educativa, esta se manifiesta en el sistema educativo fundamentalmente a través de experiencias y proyectos educativos individuales o de centro, pero no como consecuencia de un cambio sistémico que impulse la innovación como un elemento inherente al mismo. España cuenta con un sistema educativo que integra diferentes innovaciones, pero reducir la brecha entre la vocación innovadora del profesorado y el desempeño innovador de las escuelas y el conjunto del sistema precisa un sistema de innovación específico.
Resource efficiency in deinked pulp production: a review

Published: October 2019

The use of recovered paper as a raw material for paper production is by far the most economical and ecological strategy for the disposal of waste paper. However, paper production from recovered paper furnish generates a great amount of residues, and the higher the demand requirements for the end product, the higher the amount of rejected material. The reason for this is that the selectivity of the deinking process is limited; therefore, some valuable components are also lost in reject streams. The rejection of usable components affects the economics of recycled paper production. As the cost of waste disposal continues to increase, this issue is becoming more and more severe. This paper summarizes the current state of the resource efficiency in recycled pulp production and provides information on the volumes of rejected streams and the usable material within them. Various means to use these reject streams are also discussed, including the main findings of a recent thesis by the main author. This review summarizes current internal and external use of reject streams generated in the deinking operations.

Authors: WIEGAND PAUL , THACKER WILLIAM , PALUMBO JAMES , FOSTER MICHAEL
Published: October 2019

Development and maintenance of mill- and wastewater treatment system-specific programs aimed at optimizing use of supplemental nutrients for purposes of minimizing residual nutrients in treated effluents have evolved in recent years and are summarized. Suggestions for monitoring of nutrient forms in wastewaters prior to and during biological treatment are presented, as are approaches for determining supplemental nutrient
requirements, monitoring biomass characteristics, and achieving minimum nitrogen and phosphorus residuals in treated final effluents while maintaining targeted levels of biological treatment. Aspects of nutrient management relevant to activated sludge (AS) and aerated stabilization basin (ASB) systems are presented, and ASB configurations operated in part to minimize nutrient levels in treated effluents are highlighted.
Bioactive composites for bone regeneration
Authors: Burdușel Alexandra-Cristina
Published: October 2019

Bone, the organ that separates vertebrates from other living beings, is a complex tissue responsible of mobility, body stability, organ protection, and metabolic activities such as ion storage. Ceramic materials are appropriate candidates to be used in the fabrication of scaffolds for bone healing. Biocompatible ceramic materials may also be created to deliver biologically active substances aimed at maintaining, repairing, restoring, or boosting the function of tissues and organs in the organism. Glass-ceramic materials furnish flexible properties appropriate for some particular applications. Because of the controlled devitrification and the evolution of variable dimensions of crystalline and glassy phases, glass-ceramics considerably overcome the lacunae found in glasses. A wide range of bioactive glass compositions had been developed since the early 1970s to make them appropriate for many clinical applications. Many bioactive ceramic composite materials attach to living bone through an apatite layer, which is developed on their surfaces in the living body. This paper reviews the most used bioactive ceramics for bone tissue regeneration, with specific accentuation on the material characteristics.

Published: October 2019

Inguinal hernias are common and the results of surgical repair are often satisfactory but recurrence rate are variable. To prevent recurrences prosthetic materials have been increasingly used in hernia repair. In this study Lichtenstein technique of tension free mesh repair for inguinal hernia is done in 275 cases in the period from January 2005 to Deceber2010 and outcome is measured in terms of early and late morbidity especially recurrences. serorna developed in 10 patients (3.6%) and haematoma and transient testicular swelling developed in 8 patients (2.9%) and 21 patients (7.6%) respectively. Only 3 patients (1.08%) developed wound infection and 2 patients (.72%) developed recurrences of hernia. Post operative neuralgia developed in 7 cases (2.5%). During follow up period no mesh rejection and discharging wound sinus related to presence of foreign body is observed in the study. So Lichtenstein tension free repair of inguinal hernia is. safe and effective method where recurrence rate is reasonably low.

Published: October 2019

Objectives: To correlate the findings of FNAC with final histological report in parotid gland swelling and to find out the histological types of parotid neoplasm.

Methods: An attempt has been made to find out age and sex distribution, FNAC findings and histological type of parotid gland neoplasm. A total 30 cases were studied from the inpatient departments of General Surgery and Otolaryngology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka since July, 2011 to April, 2013.

Result: Regarding investigations in this series Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) was done in all 30(100%). In this series out of 30 cases of parotid neoplasm 23 (76.66%) cases were benign and rest 07 (23.33%) were malignant. Among the benign tumours commonest was pleomorphic adenoma 20 (66.66%) and regarding malignancy Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma was most common 3 (10%) then adenoid cystic carcinoma 2 (6.66%). Out of 7, 3 were stage 3(42.85%) and 3 were stage 4(42.85%). In histological grading 3 were low grade (42.85%) and 4 were high grade (57 .14%). All the patient underwent partotidectomy. Few were treated by radical parotidectomy plus radiotherapy. Early diagnosis and treatment of major salivary gland tumour is likely to lead a fare outcome.

Conclusion: FNAC is a useful preoperative diagnostic tool for parotid gland swelling with high specificity and sensitivity. Though it is a small series to comment on the whole spectrum of the parotid gland swelling in Bangladesh, yet this study has been designed to see the role of FNAC in neoplastic parotid lesion which will be beneficial for proper management.

Published: October 2019

Currently, there is no specific platform to manage the adoption process for stray animals in Indonesia. This paper describes the design of a Mobile Application created to address this issue in Jakarta, named myAnimach. This app allows strays and potential adopters to meet their needs easier. myAnimach provides a user-friendly, generic user interface to help them find the strays that meet their criteria or make a post about strays in their neighborhood. Users who want to adopt or offer animals to be adopted can log in or create an account on myAnimach. If the user is interested in becoming an adopter, they need to fill the adoption form. There are several stages in the adoption process. The completion of all the stages will result in an issuance of an adoption letter from myAnimach. Aside from adopting animals, users can also look for adopters for their animals by filling out the upload form on the mobile application.
Juventude, gênero e religião: o papel da Igreja Católica na formação da juventude
Authors: Boschini Douglas Alexandre , Silva Claudia Neves da
Published: October 2019

A história do Brasil está profundamente marcada pela presença da Igreja Católica, trazida pela coroa portuguesa no processo de colonização ficou encarregada pela formação educacional da população e consequentemente pela formação moral e ideológica. Nas últimas décadas a Igreja tem se voltado mais para o público jovem por meio de movimentos contemporâneos e da formação de grupos. A partir desta constatação, temos por objetivo estudar a presença e a influência da Igreja Católica na construção e reprodução dos discursos quanto aos papéis sociais de homens e mulheres junto à juventude. Nosso percurso metodológico se deu por meio de revisão de textos que abordam a temática religião, Igreja Católica, Juventude e a leitura dos discursos de líderes católicos. A partir da análise destes discursos, verificamos que os movimentos religiosos que contam com expressiva participação de jovens, apesar de apresentarem uma roupagem nova, adotam conteúdos retrógados e conservadores. Neste sentido, concluímos que estes movimentos reforçam as concepções sobre os papéis sociais do que é ser masculino e do que é ser feminino, no campo religioso e na esfera pública.
