Authors: Ugrin Milena , Milacic Iva , Skakic Anita , Klaassen Kristel , Komazec Jovana , Pavlovic Sonja , Stojiljkovic Maja
Published: November 2017

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is one
of the most common endocrine diseases, yet genetic diagnosis is among the
most complicated of all monogenic disorders. It has an overall incidence of
1:10000-1:20000, it is inherited in autosomal recessive pattern and caused by
mutations affecting CYP21A2 gene. Based on the phenotypic expression, this
disease is categorized into severe, classical form revealed at birth and
mild, non-classical form. Although diagnosis could be established based on
biochemical tests and distinctive clinical features, molecular genetic
testing is crucial for diagnosis confirmation, detection of carriers and
asymptomatic patients, disease prognosis, as well as for providing proper
genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis. Based on CYP21A2 mutational
spectrum and frequencies in Serbia, in this paper we propose an optimal
molecular genetic diagnostic algorithm for CAH and discuss genetic mechanisms
underlying the disease. The complete diagnostic procedure combines multiplex
minisequencing technique (SNaPshot PCR) as a method for rapid detection of
common point mutations, direct sequencing of whole CYP21A2 gene and PCR with
sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) for large gene rearrangements detection
(CYP21A1P/CYP21A2 chimeras). While SNaPshot PCR assay analyses ten common
mutations (c.290-13A/C>G, p.P30L, p.R356W, p.G110fs, p.V281L, p.Q318X,
p.L307fs, p.I172N, Cluster p.[I236N;V237E;M239K] and p.P453S) which account
for over 80% of all CYP21A2 mutations in Serbian population, direct
sequencing of CYP21A2 gene is needed to identify potential rare or novel
mutations present in Serbian population with frequency of 1.8%. Additionally,
large gene rearrangements which are present with frequency of 16.7% make
PCR-SSP analysis an unavoidable part of molecular characterization of CAH in
Serbia. Described molecular genetic strategy is intended to facilitate
correct diagnosis assessment in CAH affected individuals and their families
in Serbia but it will also contribute to molecular genetic testing of CAH
patients across Europe.

Fanconi anemia is rare inherited disease characterized by wide spectrum of
congenital anomalies, progressive pancytopenia, and predisposition to
hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Molecular genetic analysis of
mutations in FANC genes is of a great importance for diagnosis confirmation,
prenatal and carrier testing, as well as for prediction of chemotherapy
outcome and disease complications. In this study we performed screening of
frequently affected regions of FANCD2 gene for sequence variants in six
unrelated FA-D2 patients in Serbia. This is the first molecular analysis of
FANCD2 gene in Serbian FA-D2 patients. A total of 10 sequence variants were
detected, one in homozygous, and nine in heterozygous state. Two variants
were found within exons, and eight within introns, in deep intronic regions.
In-silico analysis showed that among all detected variants one exon variant
and three intron variants might have impact on splicing mechanism.
Heterozygous variants found in intron 3, c.206-246delG; exon 26, c.2396 C>A
and intron 28, c.2715+573 C>T were not previously reported. In-silico
analysis revealed that among them, two (intron 3, c.206-246 delG and exon 26,
c.2396 C>A) could be novel disease-causing mutations. Many variants were
found in more than one patient, including those unreported, indicating their
possible ethnic association. Great number of variants in some patients
suggests their non-random emergence in Fanconi anemia pathway.
Evaluation of diversity in Bulgarian pepper cultivars by agronomical traits and ISSR markers
Authors: Tsonev Stefan , Todorova Velichka , Groseva Stanislava , Popova Teodora , Todorovska Elena
Published: November 2017

Information about the genetic variation among cultivars of vegetable crops is
of vital importance for improvement of plant breeding programmes worldwide.
The objectives of this study were to group 19 pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
cultivars from the collection of Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute,
Plovdiv, Bulgariainto clusters according to their distances as estimated by
agronomic traits and 9 di-and tri -nucleotide inter simple sequence repeat
polymorphism (ISSR) markers and to assess the relationships between them.
The phenotypic characterization during 3 consecutive years revealed
significant differences among Bulgarian cultivars for the studied 13
phenotypic traits. The biplot analysis of quantitative traits showed that
the most strongly correlating traits with the first axis (55.6% of variance)
were fruit width, fruit weight and pericarp thickness (in the negative
direction of the axis), and plant height (PH) (in the positive direction).
The most discriminative traits, considering the second axis (22.6% of
variance) were fruit length (FL) and to a lesser extent the stem height
(StH). The correspondence analysis of the qualitative traits showed that the
intensity of the colour of the fruit (before and at maturity), fruit
colourbefore maturity and fruit shape in longitudinal section were the most
discriminative characteristics for the first two dimensions. The agronomic
traits data and 7 dinucleotide ISSR primers were used to estimate the
pairwise genetic distances. Higher mean phenotypic distance (0.414) in
comparison to the genotypic ones (0.214) among the cultivars was observed,
indicating higher phenotypic diversity among them. A highly signi?cant,
positive correlation between the agronomic data and ISSR marker-based
matrices (r=0.41, p=0.001)was detected. This indicates that ISSR distance
tended to re?ect that of the agronomics ones. However, additional molecular
studies and large collection of highly diverse genotypes are needed to
reveal associations between the marker loci and specific QTLs. The research
initiated is a base for more precise estimation of genetic distances between
pepper genotypes from the available large collection of landraces, local and
modern cultivars including large number of highly polymorphic markers.

Published: November 2017

The success in growing agricultural plants depends on genotype grown,
environment and growing technology applied. The impacts of these factors
should not be studied separately. Interaction among genotypes and
environment was crucial for breeding work and improvement of variety
characteristics. Very often in production practice it happens that when
comparing the same varieties in different soil and weather conditions they
are ranked differently. One of the key aims set at the breeders is breeding
for the traits of wide adaptability and calculating of the complex
components of genetic variance which is the main condition for successful
breeding program such as breeding for increased yield and yield components.
Trial was set up at random block system in five repetitions. Ten onion
genotypes from the Institute for Vegetable Crops germplasm were used in this
trial. After choosing the most stabile genotypes, they were crossed by
applying full diallel without reciprocals. Then, a field trial was set up
with parents and hybrids of F1 and F2 generation. The experiment has been
set up at the trial field of the Institute for Vegetable Crops in
Smederevska Palanka, for three years. The best adaptability in the
experiment, for mass of the onion bulb had genotypes Makoi bronzi and
Holandski zuti, while for average yield, it was Jasenicki crveni. Also,
components of genetic variance in both progeny generations were calculated
for mass, yield and height of fresh bulb. The most common heredity mode for
mass and yield of the bulb was super-domination and domination of a better
parent.

OBJECTIVE

Evidence from prospective studies for long-term treatment efficacy of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is not available. We report prospective data on the effect of SCS on pain ratings, treatment success and failure, and complications during a 5-year follow-up in patients with PDPN.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Patients with PDPN (n = 48) were included in this prospective multicenter study. The Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Score (MDNS) was used to assess the severity of neuropathy. Numerical rating scale (NRS) score for pain, Patient’s Global Impression of Change (PGIC), and treatment success (50% reduction of NRS score or significant PGIC) during 5 years of follow-up were evaluated. Complications of SCS were reported, and associations between baseline characteristics and SCS trial success or failure during a 5-year follow-up were investigated by using survival analyses.

RESULTS

Treatment success was observed in 55% of patients after 5 years. Median duration of SCS treatment was 60 months (minimum 1 month, maximum 60 months), and 80% of patients with a permanent implant still used their SCS device after 5 years. Higher MDNS was associated with treatment failure during the 5-year follow-up (hazard ratio 3.9 [95% CI 1.3–11.6]; P = 0.014).

CONCLUSIONS

SCS is successful in reducing chronic pain symptoms in the lower extremities of patients with PDPN up to 5 years after initiation of treatment. Furthermore, 80% of patients with PDPN still use their SCS device after 5 years. Moreover, the severity of neuropathy is associated with a higher chance of long-term treatment failure during a 5-year follow-up.
Ze lo kaχa ‘It’s Not Like That’: The Functions of the discourse-deictic kaχa ‘thus’ in spoken Israeli Hebrew
Authors: Shor Leon
Published: November 2017

The lexeme kaχa ‘thus’, ‘in this manner’ serves as the primary manner demonstrative in informal Israeli Hebrew. In its basic exophoric function, kaχa may be used by the speaker to refer to some visible physical behavior or state of affairs in the speech situation; much more frequently, however, kaχa is employed by the interlocutor’s discourse deictically, targeting existing or anticipated discourse segments, originating either in the speaker’s own speech or in the speech of any of the interlocutors. This study analyzes the functional distribution of the discourse-deictic kaχa in spoken Israeli Hebrew, attempting to characterize its possible referents and to identify the pragmatic actions performed by the entire utterance in which kaχa is embedded. The results show that as a discourse-deictic manner demonstrative, kaχa points – retrospectively or prospectively – to an extended discourse segment which spans either a single utterance or several utterances. This discourse segment typically contains a claim, an opinion or an assessment expressed by one of the interlocutors. In so doing, kaχa, together with the entire utterance in which it is embedded, serves different pragmatic purposes. Retrospective kaχa utterances typically have an evaluative function – they are used by the next speaker to respond to the prior speaker’s stance with regard to some state of affairs, resulting in convergent or divergent alignment with that speaker. Prospective kaχa utterances, on the other hand, were found to preface the speaker’s upcoming extended turns, functioning as a “floor-claiming” device that draws the recipient’s attention to the upcoming turn and heightens his interest in its expected content.

Gerencialismo en un ambiente de regulaciones débiles y cultura fuerte: El caso de las Fiscalías Corporativas en Perú
Authors: Hernández Breña Wilson
Published: November 2017

En el Perú, la corporativización llegó en el 2011a las Fiscalías Especializadas en Delitos de Corrupción de Funcionarios (en adelante, FC Corporativas Corporativas), luego de un supuesto éxito en la jurisdicción civil. Priorizando la eficiencia por encima de la calidad, esta medida gerencialista planteó compartir tareas administrativas y jurídicas entre los distintos fiscales, bajo el liderazgo de un fiscal coordinador. En los hechos, la corporativización estuvo lejos de alcanzar la eficiencia. En este artículo, analizamos cómo la generalidad de las reglas establecidas para el funcionamiento de las FC Corporativas y los rasgos de una cultura fiscal que desvaloriza lo corporativo en forma insidiosa, crearon incentivos que generaron la aparición de cuatro estilos de gestión directamente influenciados por dos características delos fiscales coordinadores (comunicación y proactividad). Asumiendo que la cultura fiscal crea nuevos incentivos, especialmente en escenarios de transición (hacia la corporativización y hacia la adopción de un nuevo Código Procesal Penal), no exaltamos la cultura ni damos única cabida a una mejor regulación como eje de solución. Sostenemos que la comprensión de la interacción entre regulaciones y cultura fiscal brinda un mejor espacio de trabajo para políticas públicas que busquen la eficiencia pero también la calidad del trabajo de los fiscales.
Marco jurídico de la gestión internacional de las unidades subestatales. Un estudio comparado de Argentina, Bolivia y Chile.
Authors: Juste Stella M.
Published: November 2017

Los cambios acaecidos en el sistema internacional y el posicionamiento de las unidades subestatales como actores del mismo trae a escena el replanteamiento del rol del Estado en las relaciones internacionales. El presente trabajo investigativo se ocupará de analizar cómo se configura la gestión internacional de las unidades subestatales de acuerdo al marco jurídico estatal. A los efectos de esta investigación se analizarán los casos de Argentina, Bolivia y Chile, haciendo especial referencia a las unidades subestatales de Jujuy, Tarija y Tarapacá respectivamente. En tal sentido las preguntas que guían la investigación son: ¿En qué marco se configura la gestión internacional de las unidades subestatales?¿Reconoce el Estado la gestión internacional de las unidades que lo conforman? ¿De qué manera lo hace? ¿Qué tipo de relación se plantea entre el Estado y las unidades subestatales?

La capacidad de las unidades subestatalespara actuar de manera directa en el plano internacional ha sido reiteradamente reconocida, pero su fundamento jurídico se encuentra disperso a lo largo de las normas legales de cada Estado y debe ser inferido del contexto, lo que implica que no existe un cuerpo legal genérico que determine de forma explícita en qué forma pueden o no actuar internacionalmente las unidades subestatales.De esta manera, la inserción internacional de las unidades subestatales se verá afectada por el grado de autonomía que le otorgue el marco constitucional del Estado que conforman y por el marco de la política exterior.

Published: November 2017

Anal cancer is rare but its incidence has been increasing particularly in the HIV-positive population in which HPV infection has increased persistence. Infection with high-risk HPV types is associated with the presence and progression of dysplastic lesions into anal cancer. For this reason, HIV positive population are considered a risk group, which should be referred for screening of anal lesions. In this article we report a clinical case of a 53-year-old HIV-positive man with discrepant cyto-histological diagnosis in which cytology has been diagnosing lesions of a higher grade than histology. The present work intends to alert to the importance of anal screening, especially in the risk groups and to the evaluation of discrepant diagnoses between cytology and histology.

Play therapy in perspective theory of eco systemic therapy
Authors: Adiputra Sofwan , Mujiyati Mujiyati
Published: November 2017

Play therapy is a counseling approach for children applying toys, games, and other play media to communicate to the children "language." One of the Play therapy models that combine ecosystems as being formed by an inseparable reciprocal relationship between living things, and their environment is Eco systemic Play Therapy (EPT). Ecosystem Play Therapy as a hybrid model that integrates the concepts of science biology, several models of child psychotherapy, and developmental theories. This model is not eclectic. Rather, it is the integration of several models to create an independent model that is different from the sum of its parts. The focus of EPT is on the process of optimizing the implementation of the child's function as the context of the child's ecosystem or world. EPT is developed from a phenomenological philosophical perspective, in contrast to traditional perspectives.

Published: November 2017

This paper is an exploratory study of the polemic of sexual abuse in college. Academic community as an important factor in the context of homo-social, has the potential to grow in al-ghadabiyah and al-syahwaniyah. If a person is not able to control himself in a good direction, then lust will lead to negative direction and trigger mental illness conditions such as sexual harassment behavior, and vice versa. Behavioral service as a catalyst requires specifically earthing to overcome sexual harassment behavior by adaptation into the college curriculum. Behavioral conceptualization service there are two types of preventive and curative that the system works differently, but in practice has the same goal that is, to lead the students to actualize themselves in accordance with the ability and the scientific basics. The key to success behavioral service lies in the synergy of the relationship between counselor and counselee who gave birth to three principles namely, awareness, openness, and confidentiality.

El poder ciudadano de la resistencia civil
Authors: Useche Aldana Oscar
Published: November 2017

El presente artículo es un producto de investigación que recoge las reflexiones realizadas en diferentes escenarios académicos y sociales, en procura de reconocer en los ejercicios emergentes de ciudadanía que se vienen manifestando prolíficamente en las sociedades actuales, las claves de lectura de un fenómeno que extiende sus raíces en las diversas formas de afirmación de la vida: la resistencia. Es posible reconocer en algunas manifestaciones de la vida una práctica permanente de resistencia, una capacidad para enfrentar todo aquello que pueda amenazarla o ponerla en riesgo, buscando además vías para reproducirse y transformarse. La resistencia puesta en ejercicio por parte de los y las ciudadanas, se revela como un proyecto de poder ciudadano mediante el cual se despliegan las potencias personales tales como la libertad, la autonomía e incluso la fragilidad, posibilitando incluso el despliegue también de potencias colectivas, capaces de transformar las condiciones culturales, económicas y políticas en unas circunstancias determinadas.
Desnudez en tres actos
Authors: Álvarez Diego
Published: November 2017

Este artículo es un intento por presentar una perspectiva distinta de reflexión en torno a los problemas sobre derechos y ciudadanía que se ven desbordados en su mera comprensión teórica, cuando son mirados a la luz de tres actos, tres situaciones tristemente cotidianas en nuestro país y respecto a las cuales se revela como común denominador la desnudez de la existencia humana, la vida desnuda, que con vehemencia pone en cuestión la validez fáctica de unos discursos que no son suficientes para dar sentido a una realidad que desborda toda racionalidad posible. En virtud de esto se revela lo que diferentes autores han expresado como unas profundas crisis de los conceptos de derechos, libertades, ciudadanía y consecuentemente, de democracia.

La filosofía y el filósofo como ingeniero de la realidad
Authors: Neusa Romero Héctor Leonardo
Published: November 2017

Un debate frecuente a la hora de hablar de filosofía latinoamericana radica principalmente en su existencia verídica y reconocida muchas veces por los ojos del eurocentrismo que impregna al pensamiento filosófico. Sin embargo, el problema debe trascender mucho más allá de la acuñación de un término, debe recaer en el quehacer mismo de aquel que hace filosofía en Latinoamérica; pues al centrar nuestra atención en aquella terminología, caemos fácilmente en ser aquello que llamaremos intérprete de intérpretes. En efecto, saber si somos o no filósofos es un problema mínimo, cuando el horizonte de lo que es o lo que hace un filósofo se ha perdido. De esta forma, el presente escrito se propone reflexionar acerca este problema, evidenciando así las posibles dicotomías a las que se enfrenta el filósofo contemporáneo, pero recreando las diferentes responsabilidades a las que deberá hacer frente.
Intervenciones internacionales ciudadanas y la resistencia no-violenta en los territorios Palestinos
Authors: Checa Hidalgo Diego
Published: November 2017

Este artículo de investigación realiza una aproximación al fenómeno de la resistencia civil en los Territorios Palestinos contra la ocupación y a los efectos del apoyo noviolento que recibe desde sectores de la sociedad civil global. La resistencia civil tiene, en la historia del movimiento nacional palestino, un papel mayoritariamente subordinado a la lucha armada. Sin embargo, esto ha cambiado en los últimos años donde la lucha no-violenta predomina como estrategia de resistencia. En este contexto, las intervenciones internacionales ciudadanas están beneficiando a los movimientos palestinos que practican esta resistencia mediante el aumento de su protección y favoreciendo su empoderamiento. Además, están extendiendo la cultura de paz y desafiando el militarismo existente en las sociedades israelí y palestina.
