Authors: Shanmugam Ramya S. , Bharathi Mangala , Jayaraman Kumutha
Published: March 2020

Background: Preterm neonates post-natal growth should be similar to the intrauterine growth of the fetus of the same gestational age. This study aims to  evaluate the effects of full enteral feed (60 ml/kg/day of human milk on day one, 20ml/kg/day during feeding advancement) started from day one of life (intervention) in enhancing   the regain of birth weight compared to that of standard feed (both human milk feeds and intravenous fluid) in a group.Methods: Babies were started on enteral feeds with human milk at the rate of 60ml/kg/day from day one and progressed by increments of 20 ml/kg/day up to maximum enteral feed of 180 ml/kg/day. The primary outcomes like Number of days taken to regain the birth weight, Duration of hospital stay, Incidence of Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC), Incidence of sepsis, need for intravenous fluid therapy was assessed and statically analysed.Results: Full enteral feeding group infants had lesser days of intravenous fluids. Full enteral feeding group regained birth weight at a mean age of 17.37±4.9 days and in the standard feeding group, birth weight was regained at a mean age of 19.8±4.3. Full enteral feeding group regained birth weight at a mean age of 13.12±2.17 days and in standard feeding group at a mean age of 15.38±3.57and this was statistically significant (p - 0.009). Full enteral feeding group babies had lesser number of days of intravenous fluids compared to babies in standard feeding group. It was statistically significant (p - 0.003).Conclusions: There is lack of awareness regarding dog bite and its management among the rural population.

Published: March 2020

Background: There is paucity of data regarding the relationship between the severity of left ventricular dysfunction and renal function impairment in diabetic patients. Aims and objectives was to study the relation between eGFR and ejection fraction in type 2 diabetes mellitus of more than 5 years duration.Methods: This cross sectional was carried out from May 2017 to May 2018 at Yenepoya Medical college a tertiary care center in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The data on 220 diabetic patients were studied. A detailed clinical history physical examination was carried out on the study population as per the approved proforma. Apart from base line investigations, eGFR was calculated using serum creatinine levels. 2D echocardiography was done for the assessment of ventricular function.Results: Out of 220 patients, 138 were men (63%) and 82 were women (37%) and the mean age of the patients was 59.60±11.145 years. The mean duration of diabetes was 10.08±5.28 years. We found a progressive reduction in ejection fraction from 57.74±9.97% to 50.64±14.7 as the eGFR declined from <90 mL/min/1.73m2 to 30 mL/min/1.73m2. There was significant correlation between eGFR and RWMA (p value 0.001) and LVDD (p value 0.029) in this study cohort. Micro/macroalbuminuria was found to be in 55% of patients. Proteinuria had significant correlation with longer duration of diabetes, blood urea, serum creatinine and eGFR.Conclusions: This study found positive clinical correlation between LVEF and eGFR. However, it did not reach significant levels statistically. Further studies may be carried out to confirm the association.

Published: March 2020

Background: Pancytopenia is reduction of all the three cellular components which includes anemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Pancytopenia is striking feature of many serious and life threatening illness ranging from simple drug induced bone marrow hypoplasia, megaloblastic marrow to fatal bone marrow aplasia and leukemias. Pancytopenia has variety of etiologies but most common and reversible is Vitamin B12 deficiency, so early and accurate diagnosis may be lifesaving.Methods: Study conducted prospectively in 50 patients of pancytopenia with age >12 years, who were admitted to department of medicine in Dr. M.K. Shah Medical College between 2018 to 2020. A complete clinical history and examination was carried out. They were evaluated for complete blood count with peripheral smear, liver function test, renal function test, vitamin B12 level, radiological imaging and bone marrow examination in selected patients.Results: The etiological causes of pancytopenia were recorded as vitamin B12 deficiency (n 30,60%), Infections (n11,22%),Hypersplenism (n 4;8%), aplastic anemia (n 3; 6%), Drug induced (n 1; 2%) and SLE (n1; 2%). Presenting symptoms in these patients were lethargy, malaise, generalized weakness, dyspnoea on exertion and fever while signs were pallor, splenomegaly and hyperpigmentation. All patients of megaloblastic anemia had macrocytic picture in peripheral smear and all of them were improved after treatment with vitamin B12 supplement.Conclusions: Pancytopenia is not an uncommon clinical entity and has various etiologies. Most common cause of pancytopenia was B12 deficiency and most common symptoms and signs were generalized weakness and pallor respectively. Most of the etiological causes could be diagnosed with laboratory analysis and radiological imaging without the need of a bone marrow examination.

Published: March 2020

Background: Hyponatremia is a typical condition of electrolyte disturbance that may be euvolemic, hypovolemic or hypervolemic. Proper interpretation through laboratory tests helps to differentiate the types and causes of hyponatremia. This study was conducted to evaluate the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and cerebral salt wasting (CSW) as the common causes of hyponatremia in tertiary care hospital.Methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted, including hyponatremia cases, admitted in NTU/ICU/CCU and other medical wards at Ruby Hall Clinic from August 2011 to December 2013.Results: Of 150 patients enrolled in this study, 33.33% patients were euvolemic, 34% patients were hypervolemic and 32.66% patients were hypovolemic. For the euvolemic patients, SIADH (68%) was the most common cause; whereas, CSW (34.39%) was the common cause for hypovolemic type of hyponatremia. Stroke was found to be the most common cause of SIADH (55.88%), Intra-cerebral bleeding was observed to be the most common causative factor between SIADH and CSW associated hyponatremia.Conclusions: Hyponatremia in central nervous system disorder patients frequently occurred due to SIADH and CSW. Most common cause of SIADH was stroke and for CSW it was intra cerebral bleed.

Design of a flattening filter using Fiber Bragg Gratings for EDFA gain equalization: an artificial neural network application
Authors: Montoya Alba David Esteban , Cagua Herrera Jhonatan Mcniven , Puerto Leguizam´ón Gustavo Adolfo
Published: March 2020

This paper presents a proposal for the non-uniform gain compensation of an Erbium-doped fiber optic amplifier (EDFA) in a Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) system using Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG). In this proposal, the multilayer perceptron feed-forward artificial neural network with backpropagation was trained under the secant method (one-step secant) and was selected according to mean square error measurement. The proposal optimizes FBG parameters such as center frequency, rejection level and length in order to determine a filtering response based on a reduced number of FBGS that will be used to flatten the non-linear response of the amplifier gain and avoid the per-carrier treatment of a standard flattening filter. While an artificial neural network with a 7-10-6 structure demonstrated the feasibility of equalizing the gain of an EDFA using as few as three FBGS, a 25-18-12 structure improved the results when the configuration consisted of an FBG array of six resonances that provided similar results to that featured by the standard gain-flattening filter. The proposal was evaluated in an amplified WDM system of eight optical carriers located between 195-196.4 THz.
Impact of InterChannel Interference in gridless nyquist-wdm systems with and without nonlinear impairments compensation
Authors: Granada Torres Jhon James , López Martínez Juan Pablo , Avendaño Fernández Eduardo , Cárdenas Soto Ana María , Guerrero González Neil
Published: March 2020

This paper presents a characterization of interchannel interference (ICI) effects in gridless Nyquist-wdm systems due to two contributions, namely, overlapping among optical carriers and stimulation of nonlinear optical fiber impairments. ICI is assessed regarding bit error rate (BER) at 16 and 32 Gbaud, as a function of several system parameters. Nonlinear impairment compensation based on the digital back-propagation algorithm is implemented in the DSP-based coherent receiver. Results demonstrated that ICI due to channels overlapped has a higher impact concerning BER than nonlinear optical fiber impairments. Besides, the use of the back-propagation algorithm improves system performance, reducing up to 3 and 0.7 orders of magnitude of BER in QPSK and 16QAM cases, respectively. It means that this algorithm can minimize nonlinear effects under varying system parameters, but its performance is limited in sub-Nyquist cases.

Dedziennikarstwo i jego wpływ na język mediów
Authors: Sámelová Anna , Stanková Mária
Published: March 2020

Dedziennikarstwo (słow. dežurnalistika) jako wyjątkowe zjawisko XXI wieku, które pozwala każdej piśmiennej osobie tworzyć i publikować wiadomości podobne do tych tworzonych i publikowanych przez profesjonalnych dziennikarzy, wpływa nie tylko na treść, lecz także na formę komunikatów medialnych, a więc również na ich język. Wpływ ten uznajemy za kluczowy, poprzez język bowiem najsilniej kształtuje się nawyki poznawcze i umiejętności odbiorców mediów. Z jednej strony prosty język przyczynia się do powierzchownego myślenia, natomiast język wyszukany lub abstrakcyjny — do myślenia abstrakcyjnego, z drugiej jednak strony językowy kształt komunikatów jest zależny do typu działalności internetowej (blogi, vlogi, strony internetowe, sieci społecznościowe) oraz technologicznych możliwości i ograniczeń współczesnych urządzeń służących do komunikacji. W artykule opisano językowe aspekty dedziennikarstwa na przykładzie krytyki literackiej.

Effort, Enjoyment, and Self-Confidence: A Mediation Model
Authors: Chue Kah Loong
Published: March 2020

A conventional view in education is the belief that expending more effort in mathematics will lead directly to a higher academic achievement. Whilst no one would argue that effort is unnecessary, the link between effort and academic achievement needs to be examined further. In particular, there may be a possibility of mediator variables in this relationship. Thus, the aim of this study is to analyze possible mediation effects of non-cognitive factors, specifically enjoyment, and self-confidence, in the relation between effort and academic achievement. The sample comprised of 227 tertiary level students (92 males 135 females) enrolled in a mathematics module at a tertiary institute. Self-reported measures of effort, enjoyment, and self-confidence were obtained together with their end of semester math examination results. Results indicated that enjoyment and self-confidence sequentially mediate the relationship between effort and academic achievement. Implications to educational practice are discussed.

Authors: Kothakota Michael G. , Kiss D. Elizabeth
Published: March 2020

This study examined the use of data visualization to improve financial literacy in adults. Using financial knowledge questions as test items this study used an experimental approach. Poisson regression was conducted on responses from 1,797 participants to an online survey via SurveyMonkey. Approximately one-third of respondents were assigned to a text-only group explaining a financial concept, one-third to a group that received a visualization plus text explanation of the concept, and one-third to a control group with no intervention. The findings suggest visualization of data assist in assimilation of financial knowledge compared to no intervention and to text interventions. The study has implications for financial education programs attempting to implement interventions in order to improve financial knowledge.
Who Says “I Do”? Financial Resources and Values on Relationship Choices of Emerging Adults
Authors: Rea Jennifer K. , Serido Joyce , Borden Lynne M. , Danes Sharon M. , Ahn Sun Young , Shim Soyeon Shim
Published: March 2020

This study examined potential impacts of financial resources and values on emerging adults' choice in committed relationships (N= 424, 26–35 years). Guided by Deacon and Firebaugh's (1988) Family Resource Management theory, financial self-sufficiency and forming a committed relationship were conceptualized as two salient goals of emerging adulthood. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the effects of financial self-sufficiency, values, and personal background factors on choice of committed relationship status. Findings indicated that emerging adults with fewer financial resources chose to live apart; however, the effects of career values were a stronger predictor of their relationship status. In contrast, neither financial resources nor career values differentiated between cohabiting and married emerging adults.

Auditor-Client Disagreements, Auditor Resignations, And Audit Fees Charged By Successor Auditors
Authors: Lei Dongliang , Zhou Yu , Wang Yakun
Published: March 2020

This paper investigates the effects of auditor-client disagreement disclosure on auditor resignations and audit fee charged by successor auditors. Using a matched sample of auditor changes over the period 2003-2016, we find that auditor resignations are more often accompanied by auditor-client disagreements. We also find that Big 4 auditors are more likely to resign from their engagements when they disagree with their clients. Further, we document that successor auditors charge higher audit fees for firms that have disagreements with their predecessor auditors. Relative to non-Big 4 auditors, Big 4 successor auditors charge even higher audit fee for disagreement firms.

Le monde de nos jours est devenu de plus en plus multiculturel avec l’arrivée de la globalisation dont l’effet est ressenti plus dans L’Europe où les échanges tant au niveau social que culturel et économique sont fait au niveau transnational. A l’ère de la mondialisation où le contact avec l’autre devient une sorte d’impératif, il devient impossible d’envisager un enseignement qui fait de l’abstraction d’une compétence interculturelle. Cet article est une tâche pour questionner la place de l’interculturel face au multiculturel en classe de FLE notamment celle du cas de texte littéraire. Le texte littéraire est reconsidéré comme un outil fécond avec l’arrivée de l’approche communicative dans les classes de FLE à laquelle s'ajoute une compétence interculturelle. Cette revalorisation sera décortiquée en détail tout au long de la recherche et est suivie par l'exploitation d'un texte littéraire de Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio intitulé « Celui qui n'avait jamais vue la mer ».

Published: March 2020

Este artigo apresenta algumas reflexões acerca da questão do método investigativo de Marx que compõe a construção da teoria social marxiana. Busca-se demonstrar a complexidade do esforço realizado por Marx ao buscar conhecer a realidade desvelando as suas determinações fundamentais considerando, sobretudo o movimento intelectivo exigido pelo mesmo. Neste esforço destacamos as categorias totalidade, mediação e contradição por considera-las fundamentais para compreensão do método em destaque e também para a sua aplicabilidade e, consequentemente, apreensão e conhecimento da realidade. Apresentamos brevemente a aproximação do Serviço Social com as ideias de Marx destacando como estas se tornaram fundamentais para a categoria profissional. Por fim concluímos que o método de Marx fornece ao/a pesquisador/a a possibilidade de conhecer o objeto em sua essência. Buscamos com esta exposição demonstrar como o ângulo de análise do método marxiano, portanto, ao buscar desvelar a sociedade burguesa abre a perspectiva para o seu questionamento perfazendo-se fundamental aos sujeitos que vislumbram a construção de uma sociedade diversa da do capital.

O agir avaliativo entre seus dois polos
Authors: Schwartz Yves
Published: March 2020

Toda avaliação de assuntos humanos deve aceitar que dois tipos de valores estão envolvidos e, portanto, requerem duas abordagens diferentes para a avaliação. A primeira, cuja missão é avaliar o grau de respeito do “valor do saber”: esses saberes criados na desaderência em relação ao espaço e ao do tempo do agir singular de cada ser humano, cujos conceitos científicos são o paradigma, mas que também incluem saberes técnicos, as normas jurídicas, sociais, organizacionais. E a segunda, que deve avaliar os saberes vinculados a esse agir singular que, diante da renovada variabilidade das situações de vida, tentam produzir uma existência, se possível fecunda e provedora de saúde, o que podemos chamar de saberes-valores. Portanto, não pode haver um princípio único de avaliação, e o problema é procurar construir sinergias que respeitem e articulem, dinamicamente, esses dois tipos de relação entre saber e valor.

Hasil dari penelitian ini yakni penyelenggara acara adalah pihak yang wajib memberikan keamanan dan keselamatan kerja terhadap musikus dan perlindungan hukum preventif yakni keberatan yang diajukan musikus kemudian perlindungan hukum represif yakni penyelesaian sengketa.

Authors: Sunni Muhammad Dayyan , Rahmah Mas
Published: March 2020

Pemilik merek terkenal memiliki hak eksklusif untuk dapat mengeksploitasi mereknya, baik melalui penggunaan yang dilakukannya sendiri, atau dilisensikan atau bahkan dialihkan kepada pihak lain. Pengaturan mengenai hak eksklusif sebagai perlindungan merek terkenal telah diatur di dalam Article 6 bis Paris Convention. Namun, suatu merek yang awalnya dapat didaftarkan menjadi merek dapat berubah menjadi generic jika persepsi masyarakat mengidentikkan merek tersebut dengan suatu barang atau jasa yang sejenis. Akibatnya, merek tersebut menjadi istilah yang umum sehingga tidak eligibel untuk tetap terdaftar sebagai merek serta tidak layak untuk diberikan hak eksklusif serta perlindungan hukum. Pembatalan merek terkenal merupakan upaya perlindungan hukum yang dimiliki oleh pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan sebagai akibat dari suatu merek terkenal telah menjadi istilah yang umum sehingga tidak lagi eligibel untuk tetap terdaftar sebagai merek serta mendapatkan perlindungan hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan suatu merek terkenal yang dapat kehilangan secondary meaning sehingga berubah menjadi istilah umum serta gugatan pembatalan atas merek terkenal yang berubah menjadi istilah umum. Pendekatan yang dipergunakan adalah menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan (Statute approach), pendekatan konsep (Conceptual Approach), dan pendekatan kasus (Case Aprroach). Dengan menggunakan ketiga pendekatan tersebut diharapkan menjadi suatu kesatuan yang saling melengkapi dan nantinya dapat memperoleh hasil penelitian yang komprehensif.

Published: March 2020

Pemerintah sebagai penyelenggara negara yang memiliki kewajiban untuk melaksanakan tugas dan mewujudkan tujuan negara. Tanggung jawab pemerintah dalam penyelenggaraan negara tersebut sangat berkaitan erat dengan pelayanan publik. Salah satu organisasi pemerintah yang memiliki fungsi dan tugas utama dalam memberikan pelayanan publik kepada masyarakat adalah Badan Layanan Umum. Untuk menunjang tugas dan fungsi Badan Layanan Umum dalam memberikan pelayanan kepada masyarakat, Badan Layanan Umum merupakan bagian yang tak terpisahkan atau melekat secara struktural dengan kementerian negara/lembaga induk atau pemerintah daerah. Badan Layanan Umum memiliki fleksibilitas dalam penyelenggaraannya dan melakukan pengelolaan keuangan. Fleksibilitas dalam pengelolaan keuangan Badan Layanan Umum akan berkorelasi pada pengadaan barang atau jasa yang dilakukan oleh Badan Layanan Umum. Hal tersebut dikarenakan pengadaan barang atau jasa merupakan salah satu wujud pengelolaan keuangan. Sehingga dalam melakukan pengadaan barang atau jasa, Badan Layanan Umum sebagai bagian yang tak terpisahkan dari organisasi pemerintahan, tidak tunduk pada ketentuan pengadaan barang atau jasa pemerintah pada umumnya.
Konsep Kerugian Perekonomian Negara Dalam UndangUndang Tindak Pidana Korupsi
Authors: Firmansyah Rizki Agung
Published: March 2020

Pasal 2 ayat (1) dan Pasal 3 Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999 jo. Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 Tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi (UU PTPK) mengatur tentang kelompok korupsi yang merugikan keuangan negara atau perekonomian negara. Secara konseptual, makna dari kerugian keuangan negara dapat dilihat dalam berbagai aturan perundang-undangan yaitu UU PTPK, UU Keuangan Negara, UU Perbendaharaan Negara, dan UU Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan. Namun, pemaknaan konsep kerugian perekonomian negara menjadi sebuah permasalahan karena meskipun konsep perekonomian negara telah dijelaskan dalam Penjelasan Umum UU PTPK, hal tersebut masih dirasa belum aplikatif. Dalam praktik penegakkan hukum tindak pidana korupsi, nyaris tidak ditemui putusan yang telah menyatakan seorang terdakwa telah melakukan tindak pidana korupsi yang merugikan perekonomian negara. Hal tersebut terjadi tidak terlepas dari adanya Putusan MK Nomor 25/PUU-XIV/2016 yang mencabut kata “dapat” dan menjadikan pasal 2 ayat (1) dan pasal 3 delik materiil yang menunjukan kerugian keuangan negara atau perekonomian negara haruslah kerugian yang nyata dan pasti (actual loss), sehingga di sisi lain menjadi hambatan dalam penerapan unsur merugikan perekonomian negara. Tujuan peneletian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana makna konsep perekonomian negara secara normatif dan praktiknya. Untuk melakukan penelitian ini, tipe penelitian yang digunakan oleh penulis adalah tipe yuridis normatif yang nantinya akan menghasilkan sebuah penjelasan yang sistematis mengenai aturan hukum yang mengatur kategori hukum tertentu yang terdapat isu hukum di dalamnya.
