Authors: Shmagel K V , Shmagel N G , Korolevskaya L B , Saydakova E V , Chereshnev V A
Published: December 2016

Aim. To establish the causes of T lymphocyte activation in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients coinfected with hepatitis C (HCV) who are adherent to their antiretroviral therapy regimen and interferon untreated. Subjects and methods. Examinations were made in 62 people who were HIV+HCV-positive (n=21), HIV+HCV-negative (n=21), and noninfected volunteers (n=20). The activation (CD38+HLA-DR+) and proliferation (Ki-67+) of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes were estimated. The blood concentration of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) was determined. Results. The proportion of activated cells among the CD4+ T lymphocytes was equal in the HIV+HCV-positive and HIV+HCV-negative groups. But these indicators were statistically significantly higher than those in the controls (HIV- HCV-). CD8+ T cell activation was greater in the HIV/HCV-coinfected patients than that in the other groups and that was higher in the HIV monoinfected than in the noninfected. The blood I-FABP concentrations were elevated in the HIV+HCV-positive and HIV+HCV groups compared with those in the HIV-HCV-negative group, but these did not differ among themselves. In the HIV+HCV-negative patients, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation directly and statistically significantly correlated with blood I-FABP levels. In the HIV+HCV-positive group, this correlation remained only for CD4+ T lymphocytes. CD8+ T cell activation in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients was unrelated to I-FABP concentrations. Conclusion. The increased activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in HIV monoinfection was found to be associated with intestinal epithelial destruction and unrelated to cell division processes. In HIV/HCV coinfection, the activated state of CD4+ T cells is determined by both the level of proliferative processes and impairment of the intestinal barrier and that of CD8+ T cells is only by proliferation.

Authors: Baramzina S V
Published: December 2016

Aim. To estimate the level of knowledge in adults and adolescents about the issues related to viral hepatitis B and C: the transmission modes, course, and outcomes of acute and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and C (CHC), as well as about current measures for their prevention and treatment. Subjects and methods. A total of 850 dwellers of Kirov and the Kirov Region were anomalously surveyed using an original questionnaire in 2013- 2015. The questionnaire included 24 questions on the etiology, epidemiology, outcomes, prevention, and treatment of CHB and CHC and on the sources of information. Persons younger than 16 years, people who had medical specialties, and those who were studying at a higher or secondary medical institution were excluded from the study. Results. Low levels of knowledge about the epidemiology, course, and outcomes of CHB and CHC were found in the adolescents and adults. 76.4% and 73.9% of the respondents had no clear idea as to the modes and factors of transmission of hepatitis B and C, respectively. A lack of knowledge of the issues associated with poor CHB and CHC outcomes (cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma) was revealed in 84.8 and 76.2%, respectively. 81.8% of the respondents were well aware of the existence and necessity of vaccination against hepatitis B. 40.8% of the survey participants misbelieved that hepatitis C vaccine had been designed and used. Conclusion. A significant portion of the adult population is poorly aware of the problem of viral hepatitis B and C and needs to continue health education for the development and strengthening of a negative attitude towards narcotics and promiscuity; to combat false ideas about viral hepatitis; and enhance motivation for the specific and nonspecific prevention of hepatitis B and C.

Aim. To investigate the specific features of conventional bacteriological methods and current molecular biological techniques for the etiological diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE). Subjects and methods. Examinations were made in 53 patients treated at City Clinical Hospital Sixty-Four, Moscow Healthcare Department, in 2012—2015 who underwent simultaneous bacteriological and molecular biological (polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or PCR with further sequencing) examinations of blood or resected cardiac valve tissues. Results. The investigation included 53 patients (31 men; median age, 62 years) with IE (Duke 2009); its primary form was observed in 32 (60.4%) patients. Blood bacteriological tests and PCR assays were positive in 28 (52.8%) and 34 (64.2%) patients, respectively. There were concordant results in 21 of the 28 positive blood culture cases and discordant results in 7 (25%); at the same time 3 cases showed a compete discordance in the detected causative agents (the growth of Enterococcus spp. was revealed by bacteriological examination and that of Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and Escherichia coli by DNA PCR) and a pathogen could not be identified by DNA PCR in 4 patients who had positive blood bacteriological results. The positive PCR results for cocci and fungi were obtained in 10 of the 25 (47.2%) examinees with culture-negative IE. Rare causative agents were not revealed. The tissues obtained from 8 resected damaged heart valves displayed a wider spectrum of pathogens than did blood samples, which was associated with the formation of bacterial films. Conclusion. The etiological agent of IE was revealed in venous blood by bacteriological examination in 52.8% of the examinees, by PCR in 64.2%, and by either in 71.7%. There were concordant and discordant results in 67.9 and 32.1% of the patients, respectively; among whom 18.9% were found to have pathogen DNA revealed by PCR in culture-negative IE.

Directional ratio: a proposed new variable of dynamic balance regai
Authors: Petró Bálint , M. Kiss Rita
Published: December 2016

The use of a free oscillating platform for balance training is widespread. However, there is a lack of variables used when analyzing these measurement results. The aim of this study was to introduce and evaluate a new variable. The directional ratio is the ratio of total length of oscillation travelled in the direction parallel and perpendicular to perturbation, respectively. 21 adult figure skaters (m. age 28) participated in balance regain tests, adopting two-legged and one-legged stances on each leg on the PosturoMed platform (Haider Bioswing, Weiden, Germany) with a medial-lateral perturbation. Overall the directional ratio showed weak correlation with the damping ratio (r = -0.05) and the time of balance regain (r = -0.08), suggesting new information content. One-legged stances had significantly lower damping ratio (p = 0.013) and directional ratio values (p < 0.00), showing more anterior-posterior movement and elliptical trajectories. Using the damping and directional ratios together, balance regain can be better characterized in the future.

Authors: Suvorova I.Y.
Published: December 2016

The article describes the evolution of the phenomenon of social exclusion and methods of its investigation in laboratory conditions. To the best of our knowledge, the diagnostic of social exclusion has been primarily based on external factors till now. This article is devoted to the creation of questionnaire aimed to reveal the psychological experience of social exclusion in natural conditions. Such tool is necessary because it is insufficient to refer only to external conditions of personal exposure to the periphery of social system in order to estimate psychological exclusion, as physical and psychological exclusion do not always coincide. The reliability of our questionnaire is α = 0,952. The validity of the tool was checked through the correlation with Leontiev’s Test of Sense of Life Orientations. As a result, strong links were found between scales of both tests (0,462< r < 0,725; 0,01< p< 0,05).

Published: December 2016

A presente pesquisa buscou conhecer a Cultura Organizacional, bem como a representação acerca do modelo de gestão, construída por parte dos colaboradores de instituições do funcionalismo público de diversos segmentos. Participaram 20 servidores efetivos das áreas de educação, saúde e segurança em Parnaíba – PI, que foram solicitados a comentar como se constituiu a gestão nas três áreas pesquisadas, baseada nos princípios do modelo de gestão burocrático. Foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado e um questionário sociodemográfico para a caracterização da amostra. Os resultados foram analisados por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin (2011) e apontaram que o trabalho nas organizações pesquisadas é desempenhado coletivamente, havendo diferentes formas de contribuição dos funcionários à organização. A maioria dos respondentes se identifica com o contexto organizacional e as relações interpessoais entre funcionários e usuários têm como característica o patriarcalismo. O termo burocracia foi caracterizado negativamente, como entraves que geram lentidão e ineficiência nos processos, e positivamente, como necessária à organização do sistema e como ferramenta da administração. Concluiu-se que as características encontradas sobre Cultura Organizacional expressaram, em sua maioria, a visão dos profissionais com nível superior de escolaridade e dentre os ramos de atividades, os profissionais da educação possuíram a maior representatividade. Entretanto, não cabe uma generalização dos resultados, visto que o setor público é constituído como uma área de grande abrangência.

Authors: Santos Ingrid Michélle de Souza , Melo Monilly Ramos Araujo , Roazzi Antonio
Published: December 2016

A consciência fonológica é uma habilidade metalinguística amplamente reconhecida na literatura como essencial para o entendimento do princípio alfabético. Estudos apontam que intervenções que envolvem o treinamento dessa habilidade, além de favorecer o processo de alfabetização, são potencialmente capazes de prevenir e tratar dificuldades de aprendizagem. Tendo em vista essa importância, buscamos com este trabalho explorar na literatura científica brasileira a relação existente entre a consciência fonológica e a aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita. Esta pesquisa foi motivada pelo estudo de iniciação científica que gerou o trabalho de conclusão de curso de uma das autoras, sendo, portanto, uma sistemática de estudo adotada pela equipe de pesquisa a fim de refletir acerca do tema estudado e delinear um projeto de pesquisa de relevância social e científica. Para tanto, analisamos todos os trabalhos escritos no português do Brasil acerca da consciência fonológica, referente aos anos de 2005 a 2015. Objetivamos apresentar como anda o estado da arte brasileira sobre o tema aqui abordado, atentando-nos para as questões já em fase de consolidação, os dissensos e os avanços encontrados na literatura. Verificou-se que a consciência fonológica é a habilidade metalinguística mais pesquisada na literatura e mais bem consolidada, no entanto, pesquisam-se outras habilidades que também contribuem para a alfabetização e qual o nível de importância que elas teriam para este processo.
The imagined city. The territories, the imaginary and the symbolic
Authors:   Universidad de Cuenca, Jaramillo Paredes Diego
Published: December 2016

Los diversos enfoques que, a través del tiempo, se han elaborado y aplicado para estudiar lo urbano, han privilegiado la ciudad visible, la materia, el universo físico; es decir, la ciudad propiamente como dimensión espacial geográfica (la ecología del habitar) y no lo urbano como dimensión sociocultural y antropológica (la cultura del habitar).El análisis de las condiciones materiales de la ciudad si bien es necesario, no es suficiente, ya que la ciudad también es un escenario de deseos de evocaciones y de sueños de sus habitantes que, cotidianamente y de manera incesante, van construyendo una o múltiples imágenes de ella. El presente artículo, que es parte de un proyecto de investigación sobre los imaginarios urbanos, aborda, precisamente, la reflexión sobre la ciudad entendida como lugar del acontecimiento cultural y escenario de un efecto imaginario, los símbolos que sobre ella construyen sus propios habitantes; esa ciudad oculta o invisible que constituye una compleja red de símbolos en permanente construcción. En este marco, nos centramos en la noción de territorio, concebido como construcción cultural y su relación con lo imaginario y lo simbólico.

Classical logic and diffuse logic: facets that characterize them
Authors:   Universidad de Cuenca, Almache Cabrera Juan
Published: December 2016

El análisis de información bibliográfica, como proceso metodológico para este artículo, condujo a la elaboración de matrices correspondientes a cada una de las facetas: lógica, relacional, epistémica y de conjuntos, de las lógicas clásica y difusa. La interrelación y análisis de las diferentes premisas constantes en estas matrices permitió la diversificación en la concepción de cada una de ellas, considerando a la lógica clásica como ciencia de los principios formales y normativos del razonamiento, que centra su atención en la forma lógica de adoptar los pensamientos para la construcción de lenguajes formales con claridad y precisión, y a la lógica difusa como ciencia de los principios formales del razonamiento aproximado, flexible y tolerante con la imprecisión, capaz de modelar problemas no lineales.Además, se manifiestan sucintamente aplicaciones de la lógica difusa, entre otras: los sistemas de control y redes neuronales.
A note on (-1, 1) ring satisfying a.c.c
Authors: K. Jayalakshmi
Published: December 2016

Suppose that a semiprime (-1, 1) ring \(R\) is associative, satisfies the ascending chain condition for the right annihilators of the form \(r(w)\), where $w$ belongs to the nucleus \(N(R)\) and \(R\) contains no infinite direct sums of nonzero right ideals. Then the right quotient ring of $R$ relative to the subset \(W = \lbrace w \in N(R) / w \) is regular in \(R\rbrace\) exist and it is semisimple and artinian. Also if \(A\) be a nonassociative complex Banach algebra which satisfies ascending chain condition on left ideals and assume that the center \(Z(A)\) of \(A\) consists of regular elements then \(Z(A)\cong \mathbb{C}\). As a result if \(A\) be a (-1, 1) noetherian complex Banach algebra then \(A\) is finite-dimensional.

Published: December 2016

Marketing strategy remains a critical driver of customer satisfaction and competitiveness in the banking industry globally. Despite this, Commercial banks in Kenya are yet to attain required customer satisfaction levels. This is evident in the low average customer satisfaction index (CSI) which dropped from 67% in 2011 with a downward trend to 60% in 2015 way below the Kenyan Banking industry benchmark of 77%. Studies on the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction revealed both positive and negative results. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction of commercial bank customers in Nairobi, Kenya. The target population was 1,072,500 customers of commercial bank customers in Nairobi. A sample of 384 was drawn using proportionate stratified random sampling technique to constitute 242 Retail, 81 Business and 61 corporate customers. The results revealed that service quality significantly contributed to customer satisfaction at (β=.488, p less than .05). It was concluded that service quality contributes to customer satisfaction. The study recommends a more emphasis on improving and maintaining high service quality levels translating to customer satisfaction. Therefore the research provides a validated service quality model that can be used to clearly measure levels of service quality in relation to levels of customer satisfaction.

Government program of exclusive breastfeeding in the last few years shows failure. In the district of Sidoarjo, for example, the level of community participation in exclusive breastfeeding is still relatively low at about 22.8 percent of the announced target of 80 percent. It is interesting to study, therefore this study is aimed to investigate the use of midwives communication strategies to increase the participation of mothers in the exclusive breastfeeding program work in the health center (Puskesmas)in Jabon Sidoarjo. This qualitative descriptive study used snowball sampling techniques with in-depth interviews to key informants and respondents of thirty breastfeeding mothers in Jabon subdistrict of Sidoarjo. The results of this study are that the most dominant communication strategies used by midwives is two-way communication (face to face) with persuasion techniques and methods of redundancy. Midwives barriers consist of internal and external barriers. The internal resistance is reluctance to breastfeed for fear of the breasts are not beautiful anymore, people's understanding on the issue of healthy infants are assessed from the fat physical appearance, and that only a little milk that comes out. While the external resistance is that the babies are not satisfied with only breast milk, reason for working mothers, and the thought of the family, especially the parents, that formula milk is better. The participation rate of breastfeeding mothers is still in the third level, namely level of consultation.

PIERRE BOURDIEU, SANG JURU DAMAI
Authors: Krisdinanto Nanang
Published: December 2016

Pierre Bourdieu built his theoretical orientation as a solution to what he saw as a false opposition between objectivism and subjectivism; to quote Bourdieu: “absurd opposition between individual and society”. Bourdieu offered a point of view that emphasizes on duality in the relationship between agent and structure, as an alternative to the previously existing dualistic views. Bourdieu refers to his theoretical orientation as genetic structuralism, constructivist structuralism or structuralist constructivism. Through the concept of habitus, field, and capital, Bourdieu integrated objectivism (which emphasizes the role of objective structure in social practice) and subjectivism (which emphasizes the role of agent in social practice). Bourdieu formulated the theory of social practice with the equation (Habitus x Capital) + Field = Practice. Practice, in Bourdieu’s mind, is the product of the relationship between habitus and field, wherein within field itself there are powers at stake, especially between people with capital and people without capital.

This research aimed to describe rallies Papua Students Alliance and analyze of communication barriers between police with Papua students alliance Surabaya on demonstrations addressing violence shootings Indonesian military in Papua that sparked mass unrest. Data was collected by in-depth interviews; direct observation (passive participation), and documents. The results showed that the main factors that often lead to anarchy mass in certain circumstances were the police officers that were involved to secure it. It was Indicated tactics and strategies that were adopted by the police which could spark violence, when they used the threat, warning or limiting of protesters space. Police used physical violence (like a slap in the face), which later gave birth to a chain effect. Protesters and police failed to conduct dialogic communication that caused the riot in the demonstrations carried out. These conditions were communication barriers that indicated weaknesses in the police procedural safeguards.

Core Ideas

Mobility of Cu and Cd in compost‐amended soil was estimated using HYDRUS‐2D.

Cu and Cd mobility was controlled by sorption in the tilled layer.

Different sorption estimations were used to model trace metal leaching.

EDTA/CaCl2 extracts ratio gave reliable Kd estimates for Cu but not for Cd.

Most of the Cu and Cd mass remained in the tilled layer.

Two experimental plots amended with a co‐compost of sewage sludge and green wastes (SGW) or with a municipal solid waste compost (MSW) were compared with a control plot without organic amendment (CONT) in terms of trace metals mobility. These plots were equipped with wick lysimeters, time‐domain reflectometry probes and tensiometers for 6 yr (2004–2010). Different soil structures due to tillage and compost incorporation were identified in the tilled layers and reproduced in HYDRUS‐2D for simulating water, Cu, and Cd transport. Two sorption estimation approaches were used, either assuming equilibrium between CaCl2 and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) extractable metals (Kd‐1) or using equations based on pedotransfer functions assuming nonlinear sorption for Cu (Kf) and linear sorption for Cd (Kd‐2). Lysimeter data on Cu leaching were successfully reproduced with the Kd‐1 approach for the SGW and CONT plots (model efficiency coefficient ESGW = 0.97, ECONT = 0.95), while the MSW plot showed better fitting with the Kf approach (EMSW = 0.77), which could be explained by the less stable organic matter of the MSW compost because it takes into account organic matter components (dissolved organic C and soil organic matter). The Cd leaching was reproduced with the Kd‐2 approach for the two amended plots (ESGW = 0.12, EMSW = 0.80), while CONT simulation overestimated leaching. The percentage of measured Cu and Cd leached in reference to input mass was 0.6 and 2.7%, respectively, in the SGW plot compared with 5% for both metals in the MSW plot. Trace metal mobility appeared to be limited in the tilled layer by sorption to organic matter.
