Fall Preventive Exercise With or Without Behavior Change Support for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial With Short-Term Follow-up
Authors: Arkkukangas Marina , Söderlund Anne , Eriksson Staffan , Johansson Ann-Christin
Published: February 2017

Background and Purpose:

In Western countries, falls and fall-related injuries are a well-known threat to health in the aging population. Studies indicate that regular exercise improves strength and balance and can therefore decrease the incidence of falls and fall-related injuries. The challenge, however, is to provide exercise programs that are safe, effective, and attractive to the older population. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term effect of a home-based exercise program with or without motivational interviewing (MI) compared with standard care on physical performance, fall self-efficacy, balance, activity level, handgrip strength, adherence to the exercise, and fall frequency.

Method:

A total of 175 older adults participated in this randomized controlled study. They were randomly allocated for the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) (n = 61), OEP combined with MI (n = 58), or a control group (n = 56). The participants' mean age was 83 years. The recruitment period was from October 2012 to May 2015. Measurements of physical performance, fall self-efficacy, balance, activity level, handgrip strength, adherence to the exercise, and fall frequency were done before and 12 weeks after randomization.

Results and Discussion:

A total of 161 participants were followed up, and there were no significant differences between groups after a period of 12 weeks of regular exercise. Within the OEP + MI group, physical performance, fall self-efficacy, physical activity level, and handgrip strength improved significantly; likewise, improved physical performance and fall self-efficacy were found in the control group. A corresponding difference did not occur in the OEP group. Adherence to the exercise was generally high in both exercise groups.

Conclusion:

In the short-term perspective, there were no benefits of an exercise program with or without MI regarding physical performance, fall self-efficacy, activity level, handgrip strength, adherence to the exercise, and fall frequency in comparison to a control group. However, some small effects occurred within the OEP + MI group, indicating that there may be some possible value in behavioral change support combined with exercise in older adults that requires further evaluation in both short- and long-term studies.

Published: February 2017

Accurate and rapid identification of bacterial pathogens of fish is essential for the effective treatment and speedy control of infections. Massive mortalities in market-sized red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) were noticed in mariculture concrete ponds in northern Egypt. Histopathological examination revealed marked congestion in the central vein of the liver with the presence of bacterial aggregates inside the lumen and in the vicinity of the central vein. A total of 12 isolates of streptococci were obtained from the moribund fish. This study documented the ability of the MicroSeq 500 16S bacterial sequencing method to accurately identify Streptococcus agalactiae and S. dysgalactiae mixed infections from moribund red tilapia that were difficult to be recognised by the commercial biochemical systems. The continuously decreasing cost of the sequencing technique should encourage its application in routine diagnostic procedures.
Mandibular odontogenic sarcoma (ameloblastic fibrodentinosarcoma) in an aged cat — Short communication
Authors: Ramírez Gustavo A. , Ressel Lorenzo , Altimira Jaume , Vilafranca Miquel
Published: February 2017

A 13-year-old male cat presented with an ill-defined mass in the rostral mandible causing destruction and loss of alveolar bone. Microscopically, the mass consisted of cords or islands of benign odontogenic epithelium and a malignant, pleomorphic spindle-shaped cell component with dysplastic dentine formation. Immunohistochemically, neoplastic mesenchymal cells proved to be strongly positive for vimentin and negative for cytokeratins, desmin, actin and S100 protein; the Ki67 proliferation index was high. Morphological and immunohistochemical features largely overlap those reported for ameloblastic fibrodentinosarcoma, an uncommon histologic subtype of odontogenic sarcoma recognised in humans but no reported previously in animals. Ki-67 expression assessment may help to discriminate between malignant and benign forms of odontogenic tumours but the final diagnosis is mainly morphological.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa owns a variability of virulence factors. These factors can increase bacterial pathogenicity and infection severity. Despite the importance of knowledge about them, these factors are not more characterized at level of strains derived from local food products. This study aimed to characterize the virulence potential of P. aeruginosa isolated from various animal products. Several structural and virulence genes of P. aeruginosa including lasB, exoS, algD, plcH, pilB, exoU, and nan1 were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on 204 strains of P. aeruginosa. They were isolated from bovine meat (122), fresh fish (49), and smoked fish (33). The 16S rRNA gene was detected on 91.1% of the presumptive strains as Pseudomonas. The rpoB gene showed that 99.5% of the strains were P. aeruginosa. The lasB gene (89.2%) was the most frequently detected (p < 0.05). In decreasing importance order, exoS (86.8%), algD (72.1%), plcH (72.1%), pilB (40.2%), and exoU (2.5%) were detected. The lasB gene was detected in all strains of P. aeruginosa serogroups O11 and O16. The prevalence of algD, exoS, and exoU genes in these strains varied from 51.2% to 87.4%. The simultaneous determination of serogroups and virulence factors is of interest for the efficacy of surveillance of infections associated with P. aeruginosa.

Published: February 2017

Background: Obesity, a key risk factor for the chronic and non-communicable disease, has become a serious public health concern in both developed and developing countries. WHO has designated obesity as global epidemic. In 2014, 41 million children under the age of 5 years were found to be overweight or obese. Most of the world’s population lives in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight. Objectives of the study were to know the prevalence of obesity and factors associated with obesity in rural and urban part of India.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in three high schools of rural and urban part of Davangere district, central Karnataka, India with a sample of 918 adolescent school children. Pre-designed questionnaire was used to elicit the required information. Height and weight was measured. Body mass index was calculated. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was observed to be 10.1% and 0.5% respectively. In rural part the prevalence was 7.1% and in urban area it is 12.6%. Overweight/obesity was significantly associated with family history of overweight/obesity, dietary habit, eating junk foods, sedentary life styles including watching television, lack of physical exercise and not participating in outdoor games.Conclusions: Overweight and obesity thought to be disease of developed and affluent nation. But in changing trends, countries like India especially rural areas, it’s alarming to see such results. Adopting the healthy lifestyles, food habits and regular exercise can reduce the risk of becoming overweight and obese.

Wzrastająca grupa konsumentów – seniorów, to również wyzwanie dla zarządców centrów handlowych, jak również dla podmiotów oferujących swoje dobra i usługi w tych kompleksach. W związku z powyższym warto zwrócić uwagę, kim są klienci – seniorzy centrów handlowych, jakie są ich motywy przy wyborze centrum handlowego jako miejsca „wizyt”, jak postrzegają zakupy oraz pobyty w centrach handlowych, jak ustosunkowywują się do ich lokalizacji determinujących ich zachowania przestrzenne. Z punktu widzenia nauko-wego, jak i marketingowego ważne jest rozpoznawanie preferencji, motywacji zachowań przestrzennych również grupy osób w wieku „przedstarczym”, bo to oni w najbliższym czasie będą zasilać grupę senioralną, która będzie funkcjonować na rynku konsumenckim.Osoby w wieku 45–59 i 60+ są ważnym segmentem klientów łódzkich centrów handlowych. Szczególnie w pierwszej grupie wiekowej cieszą się dużą popularnością. To osoby w tzw. wieku „przedstarczym” są częstszymi bywalcami w tych „świątyniach konsumpcji” korzystającymi z szerokiej gamy ofertowej.

Published: February 2017

Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant commonly used to treat anxiety related behavioral disorders in human and animals. The current study was performed to assess the effects of different therapeutic doses of clomipramine hydrochloride supplementation on hepato-renal functions, lipid peroxidation, frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow, DNA damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes using the comet assay and effects of withdrawal of the drug for 4 weeks on these parameters. Forty two Swiss albino male mice were divided into seven equal groups. The first group served as a control, while groups 2, 4 and 6 were orally treated with low (75 mg/kg of body weight), medium ((100 mg/kg of body weight), and high doses (250 mg/kg of body weight), respectively of clomipramine hydrochloride daily for 30 days. However, groups 3, 5 and 7 served as low, medium and high withdrawal groups for 4 weeks. Different therapeutic doses of clomipramine hydrochloride resulted in a significant increase in the levels of serum ALT, AST, BUN and creatinine compared to control. Also, plasma malondialdehyde levels showed were significant increase in mice treated by different therapeutic doses of clomipramine hydrochloride compared to control group. In contrast, the administration of clomipramine hydrochloride in three therapeutic doses for 30 days caused a significant increase in the frequency of micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes of mice bone marrow, this increase reached more than ten times the value determined before the treatment and directly proportional to the dose. The level of basal endogenous DNA damage measured as the mean of percentage of DNA in the tail of the lymphocytes in mice treated by low, medium and high therapeutic doses of clomipramine hydrochloride were significantly higher than in controls. However, in the recovery period (4weeks), a significant amelioration in all studied parameters was observed. Results indicated that, clomipramine is a hepato renal toxic drug and induces a significant amount of DNA damage and in-vivo genotoxic drug.

The book covers the topics usually included in undergraduate Statistics courses: graphical and numerical description of data, probability, discrete and continuous variables and distributions, sampling and sampling distribution, estimation, hypothesis testing, simple regression, ANOVA, and maximum likelihood method. It is the philosophy that is unusual: we try to prove most facts, without sacrificing intuition. As a result, the reader can see the true motivation behind statistical constructions and the logical links between them. The book is particularly suitable for Statistics courses of the London School of Economics and University of London.
The electronic (pdf) copy of the book is extremely easy to use on electronic devices because it contains almost 400 hyperlinks. You can start reading the book from the middle. Whenever knowledge of the previous material is required, you will see a link which will take you to the relevant place in the text. After reading it, just press the back button in your pdf reader and continue reading where you took off.
The main statistical phenomena and variables are modeled and illustrated in Excel. The book is written with the view that the reader is preparing to take Econometrics. In particular, it contains a chapter called "Bridge to econometrics". In a separate chapter we describe Excel and Mathematica statistical functions that allow one to do without statistical tables.
Many topics are provided with Excel and Mathematica examples and videos and developed further on the author's web site http://raisingthebar.nl/, which is regularly updated.
A Reliable Turning Process by the Early Use of a Deep Simulation Model at Several Manufacturing Stages

Published: February 2017

The next future using machine tools will be dominated by highly flexible and interconnected systems, in order to achieve the required productivity, accuracy and reliability. Nowadays, distortion and vibration problems are easily solved for the most common cases by sing models based on equations describing the physical laws dominating the machining process; however additional efforts are needed to overcome the gap between scientific research and the real manufacturing problems. In fact, there is an increasing interest in developing simulation packages based on “deep knowledge and models” that aid the machine designer, the production engineer, or machinists to get the best of their machines. This article proposes a systematic methodology to reduce problems in machining by means of a simulation utility, which recognizes, collects and uses the main variables of the system/process as input data, and generates objective results that help in the proper decision-making. Direct benefits by such an application are found in a) the fixture/clamping optimal design, b) the machine tool configuration, c) the definition of chatter free optimum cutting conditions and the right programming of cutting tool path at the Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) stage. The information and knowledge-based approach showed successful results in several local manufacturing companies.
Pengembangan Sistem Manajemen Breeding Sapi Bali

Published: February 2017

Sebagai plasma nutfah Nasional, keberadaan sapi Bali perlu dipertahankan dan dimanfaatkan secara lestari-produktif; sebab memiliki beberapa keunggulan spesifik. Pengadaan sapi Bali bibit dapat diperoleh melalui pengembangan Village Breeding Center. Namun tampaknya belum ada program pemuliaan yang jelas dan terarah; karena rekording belum dilakukan secara lengkap, benar, dan berkesinambungan. Proyek Perbibitan dan Pengembangan Sapi Bali (P3Bali) yang mengemban memperbaiki mutu sapi Bali dan menghasilkan sapi pejantan unggul, tampaknya belum efektif. Suatu kegiatan dan kajian tentang sistem manajemen breeding sapi Bali (metode survei dan deep interviev) telah dilakukan di P3Bali dan instansi terkait (Agustus - Nopember 2004). Fenotip sapi Bali di P3Bali, di Instalasi Populasi Dasar (IPD) Kabupaten Tabanan dan di Kabupaten Karangasem masih relatif seragam. Pertumbuhan maksimal yang didasarkan ukuran statistik vital (tinggi gumba, panjang badan, lingkar dada) dan bobot badannya, dicapai pada kelompok umur PI-4, dan selanjutnya relatif tidak ada pertumbuhan. Performansnya di IPD dan di Kabupaten Karangasem relatif lebih baik daripada di P3Bali; bahkan selama 9 tahun terakhir menunjukkan kecenderungan yang semakin menurun. Sistem seleksi untuk calon induk atau pejantan telah mengikuti prosedur yang standar (performance test dan progeny test); tetapi tidak ditemukan silsilah dari ternak yang terjaring. Namun kriteria seleksi bobot badan masih sangat longgar (140 – 160 kg).  Adanya pemasukan sapi baru setiap tahun di P3Bali, dapat menetralisir upaya perbaikan mutu genetik hasil seleksi yang telah terkonsentrasi; sehingga secara time-series tampak tidak ada peningkatan performans produksi. dan mutu genetiknya. Adanya skema breeding di P3Bali yang sudah memenuhi standar, belum banyak diterapkan di lapang. Kurang lengkapnya rekording tidak dapat menghindari inbreeding; dan dengan intensitas seleksi yang rendah, tampak tidak ada kemajuan genetik dalam program seleksi (uji progeni untuk karakter bobot sapih dan bobot badan umur 1 tahun).

performances of the three different agro-ecological zones, i.e. at island, coastal and lowland ecological zones. Sites represented island pig farmers were Biak and Yapen. Samples subsequently were taken from Samofa District and South Yapen District comprised of Famboaman, Anotaurei, Mariadei and Mantembu villages. Sites in Manokwari were taken from six districts and 15 villages. Characteristic of farmers and pig keeping systems such as household information, pig population and reproduction, and social technical aspects, were studied. Participatory research using interview and observation was separately done towards 155 pig farmers. Statistical analysis used Duncan multiple comparisons and Chi-square (χ2) were used to analyse the data. Coastal pig farmers are younger than island and lowland pig farmers. They have middle number of experiences compared to island pig farmers. The majority of farmers is men-pig farmers and has adequate household members. It was found that many are not educated and are elementary graduation. Altough their objectives are directed to commercial production system. Coastal pig farmers have higher number of animal population added to this is herd size per household compared to the two other agro-ecological zones. Feeding systems are practised in proper combination, such as feeding ration of physiological ages every day and feeding processing. Natural mating is practised by the majority of pig farmers. Several of pig farmers know the sign of oestrus, gestating and practising procedures of breed selection. Distance to market and distance to town are experienced by lowland pig farmers compared to coastal and island pig farmers. Perception of pig farmers is satisfy and they have lack of extensionist visiting, lack in middlemen visiting and positive social acceptances.

KONSEP PERLINDUNGAN HAK CIPTA DALAM RANAH HUKUM HAK KEKAYAAN INTELEKTUAL (Studi Kritis Pembajakan Karya Cipta Musik dalam Bentuk VCD dan DVD)
Authors: , Oksidelfa Yanto
Published: February 2017

Abstrak
Dewasa ini Intellectual property Rights atau Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HKI) memegang peran penting dalam aspek kehidupan. Hal ini dikarenakan HKI berkaitan erat dengan teknologi, ekonomi, maupun seni budaya. Begitu pentingnya HKI dalam kehidupan, selayaknyalah HKI tersebut dilindungi. Salah satu bentuk HKI yang harus dilindungi adalah hak cipta, khususnya karya musik dari tindakan pembajakan. Hal ini menjadi penting, karena karya cipta musik dihasilkan melalui pengorbanan pikiran, tenaga, waktu bahkan biaya. Indonesia memang sudah memiliki Undang-undang untuk melindungi hak cipta. Namun undang-undang tersebut belum mampu membuat para pelaku pembajakan jera. Pembajakan bahkan cenderung semakin marak dan memprihatinkan. Maraknya pembajakan di tengah masyarakat jelas akan berdampak negatif terhadap Indonesia. Citra buruk oleh dunia internasional dan ancaman mendapat sanksi dipastikan diterima oleh negara Indonesia. Disamping itu, maraknya aksi pembajakan juga akan berakibat menurunnya semangat berkreasi dari kalangan seniman. Melihat kondisi maraknya pembajakan karya cipta musik di Indonesia dan sebagai negara penandatanganan perjanjian TRIPs mau tidak mau Indonesia harus menegakkan hukum di bidang HKI, khususnya hak cipta. Lebih khusus lagi hak cipta karya musik. Jika pembajakan hasil karya cipta musik terus berlanjut, pencipta akan terus mengalami kerugian terutama dalam bidang ekonomi. Untuk itu, negara mempunyai tanggungjawab moril terhadap perlindungan karya cipta yang dimiliki anak bangsa dari tindakan pembajakan.

La epidemia de la insania en el mundo occidental. Reflexiones desde la psicología social
Authors: Rodríguez Murillo Luís Arley
Published: February 2017

El fenómeno actual, lo qué está pasando en las escuelas Norteamericanas, sobre el consumo desmedido de fármacos psiquiátricos, debido al fanatismo religioso, los tea party y las matanzas en los colegios, nos lleva a vislumbrar que ha caído la salud mental y paradójicamente ha crecido la industria de medicamento en Los Estados Unidos, que por demás, manipulan el mercado y el consumo de las mismas y a sus conciudadanos. Se hace imprescindible la reflexión, relacionada con los últimos episodios de muertes al interior de las escuelas secundarias de alumnos y docentes y centros comerciales, pues se conoce la conclusión sobre los perfiles de los asesinos que llegan a perpetuar semejante horror, muchos de estos sujetos, consumían al menos entre 5 o 6 medicamentos enviados por sus médicos psiquiátricos, tornándose cuestionable la eficacia de los mismos.
Elaboración del duelo a través del arte: un acercamiento metodológico y conceptual
Authors: Jaramillo Serna John Alexander
Published: February 2017

Al reflexionar sobre la muerte, y ésta en relación con la vida, muchas ideas pueden surgir. Inclusive los antepasados nos enseñan que el pensar de vez en cuando en la muerte, tiene sus ventajas; si bien no nos evita el miedo y el dolor, sí que nos posibilita, por un lado, valorar mucho más la vida, y por el otro, hacer frente a algo inevitable que a todos nos toca. La premisa de asistir a la propia muerte, que nos trae el premio nobel de literatura, supone el hecho ineludible de la muerte antes de la muerte. Es la vida entendida como fiesta. Es un momento, donde la muerte y la vida se superponen, se entremezclan. Tal vez es allí en medio de las prácticas -en razón de la muerte-, nos recuerden la cesación de fiesta, la no existencia prospectiva.
Acerca del valor inscriptual de las marcaciones corporales adolescentes
Authors: Bower Lorena
Published: February 2017

Las marcaciones corporales pueblan la piel del adolescente hipermodermo, al extremo de convertirla en un lienzo en el cual se expresan de modo privilegiado, y bajo las más diversas grafías, noveles modos de vincularse con el cuerpo y con los otros. Se entiende que la eficacia de estas marcas no acaba allí sino que conllevan un valor simbolizante que las hace centrales en la dramática identificatoria adolescente.
Dime qué ves y te diré cómo existes

Nuestra capacidad de simbolización nos permitió crear nuestras culturas y la comunicación con los seres humanos. Es maravilloso poder nombrar a las cosas y de esa manera comunicar a las otras personas lo que queremos decir. El uso de las palabras nos facilita el entendimiento y nos permite trasladarnos desde un nivel de experiencia a un nivel de comunicación y de conceptualización.
Raw water clarification by flotation with microbubbles and nanobubbles generated with a multiphase pump
Authors: Azevedo A. , Etchepare R. , Rubio J.
Published: February 2017

Raw water clarification by flotation was studied by injecting air into a centrifugal multiphase pump to generate microbubbles (MBs) and nanobubbles (NBs). Measurements of gas dispersion parameters were performed and optimal conditions were obtained using a pump pressure of 4 bar. Values showed a bubble Sauter diameter of 75 μm, an air holdup of 1.2%, a bubble surface area flux of 34 s−1 and an NB concentration of 1 × 108 NBs mL−1 (measuring 220 nm). Then, a study compared flotation with bubbles formed with the multiphase pump (F-MP) to lamellar settling at the clarification stage of a water treatment plant (WTP), in Brazil. The F-MP showed a higher separation efficiency at high hydraulic loads (9–15 m h−1), even without the use of a polymer, reaching 2 NTU (10–25 NTU raw water feed), which was much lower than the technical goal of the WTP (5 NTU). The results and the technical aspects are discussed, and it is concluded that the employment of MBs and NBs with pumps widens new research lines and applications in modern flotation.
Accuracy and Adoption of Wearable Technology Used by Active Citizens: A Marathon Event Field Study

Published: February 2017

Background

Today, runners use wearable technology such as global positioning system (GPS)–enabled sport watches to track and optimize their training activities, for example, when participating in a road race event. For this purpose, an increasing amount of low-priced, consumer-oriented wearable devices are available. However, the variety of such devices is overwhelming. It is unclear which devices are used by active, healthy citizens and whether they can provide accurate tracking results in a diverse study population. No published literature has yet assessed the dissemination of wearable technology in such a cohort and related influencing factors.

Objective

The aim of this study was 2-fold: (1) to determine the adoption of wearable technology by runners, especially “smart” devices and (2) to investigate on the accuracy of tracked distances as recorded by such devices.

Methods

A pre-race survey was applied to assess which wearable technology was predominantly used by runners of different age, sex, and fitness level. A post-race survey was conducted to determine the accuracy of the devices that tracked the running course. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate whether age, sex, fitness level, or track distance were influencing factors. Recorded distances of different device categories were tested with a 2-sample t test against each other.

Results

A total of 898 pre-race and 262 post-race surveys were completed. Most of the participants (approximately 75%) used wearable technology for training optimization and distance recording. Females (P=.02) and runners in higher age groups (50-59 years: P=.03; 60-69 years: P<.001; 70-79 year: P=.004) were less likely to use wearables. The mean of the track distances recorded by mobile phones with combined app (mean absolute error, MAE=0.35 km) and GPS-enabled sport watches (MAE=0.12 km) was significantly different (P=.002) for the half-marathon event.

Conclusions

A great variety of vendors (n=36) and devices (n=156) were identified. Under real-world conditions, GPS-enabled devices, especially sport watches and mobile phones, were found to be accurate in terms of recorded course distances.

A modified pectin has been synthesized by reacting/combining -OH group among pectin and chitosan with BADGE (Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) crosslinker agent. The structure and morphology of the new material were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Thermogravimetric studies showed an improvement in thermal characteristic. Adsorption experiments were performed in batch processes; sorption isotherms and kinetics were also studied. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to describe the isotherms and isotherm constants for the adsorption of Pb(II) ion onto adsorbent pectin-carboxymethyl chitosan-BADGE (pec-CMC-BADGE). The dynamic study showed that the sorption process followed the second-order kinetic equation. Result indicated also that Pb(II) ion uptake could be well described by the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption model of pec-CMC-BADGE and CMC with DG° of 25.3 and 23.1 kJ mol-1,respectively, while that of pectin followed Freundlich isotherm with DG° of 16.6 kJ mol-1.

The zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin films were prepared on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition using the aqueous solutions of zinc chloride, thiourea, pH regulator and complexing agent (ammonia and hydrazine hydrate, trisodium citrate or sodium hydroxide). The calculations of boundary conditions for formation of zinc sulfide and zinc hydroxide were made at various zinc salt concentrations with different complexing agents. The structural, morphology and optical properties of the ZnS thin films were investigated. The thickness of ZnS films was measured and the recalculation of zinc mass per cm2 of the substrate surface was held for comparison. The deposition mechanism is discussed.

Evolution of swelling of gel-like strongly acidic resin and organic-inorganic composites based on this ion-exchanger was investigated. Non-aggregated nanoparticles of zirconium hydrophosphate were found to provide size invariability of the polymer pores, which contain functional groups (up to 20 nm), the nanoparticle aggregates squeeze these pores (down to 3 nm). Owing to this, the nanocomposite shows higher break-through capacity during removal of Ni2+ from water, than the sample modified only with aggregates.
