Published: January 2018

All countries around the world are dealing the same problem in assuring the sufficiency of food for feeding their people. Indonesia is the biggest agrarian state in South East Asia and the fourth largest state in the world. The challenge faced by Indonesia with a large population is on how food meets the needs of its population, which until now Indonesia has not been able to guarantee the fulfillment of food supply for its population. This study aims to analyze the influence of determinant factors toward Indonesian food security. Binary Logit Model was employed to analyze determinant factors of Indonesian food security. Jonsson and Toole criterion of food security was used to identify Indonesian food security status as dependent variable. This research found that land area, rice production, corn production, soybean production, chicken meat production, beef production, the population density the CPI (Customer Price Index) including the CPI for housing, electricity and gas, the CPI for health, the CPI for transportation and financial services, and FIMI (Food Insecurity Multidimensional Index) have significant influences towards the level of food security in Indonesia. It means that food security could be achieved by not only improving the quantity and quality of consumption, but also improving food supply, the ability to access economically and the stability.
Prevalence and Correlates of Enjo Kousai, School Girl and Boy Prostitution, in Japan
Authors: Laser-Maira Julie Anne
Published: January 2018

Utilizing an ecological risk framework, this study investigates individual, familial, and extra familial risk factors that correlate to involvement in Enjo Kousai (school girl/boy prostitution) among Japanese youth. The sample (N=802) for this study is a diverse and fairly representative sample of post-secondary students from a range of vocational schools, colleges, and universities in the Sapporo area of Hokkaido, Japan. Nearly one out of 10 males and one out of 25 females reported engaging in this behavior. This research suggests that both females and males who experience certain life events are at higher risk for being involved in Enjo Kousai. For females, a history of sexual abuse, drug use, depressive symptoms, a parent who has been in prison, and a father who visits Fuzoku (brothels) were significant predictors of involvement in Enjo Kousai. For the male sample, a history of sexual abuse, drug use, a parent who has been in prison and living in an unsafe neighborhood were significant predictors of participating in Enjo Kousai.

Gender differences in participatory leadership: An examination of principals’ time spent working with others
Authors: Sebastian James , Moon Jeong-Mi
Published: January 2018

The purpose of this study was to examine whether female principals have a more participatory style compared to their male counterparts by examining principals’ daily time allocation patterns. The study analyzed data from End of Day (EOD) survey logs from principals in an urban school district. Results from hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) results showed that female principals, when compare to male principals, spent a higher proportion of their time working with others in planning/setting goals. At the same time, there were no differences in how principals allocated their time total working alone or working with others and their time distribution in other leadership domains. The findings suggest that gender differences in leadership style depend on specific activity domains and that there are significant differences in the key domain of strategic planning.
The impact of teen magazines on adolescent girls in North Cyprus
Authors: Aybay Yonca , Kara Nurten
Published: January 2018

To understand the impact of teen magazines on adolescent girls from their perspective, we undertook a study in North Cyprus with 82 adolescent girls aged 12–17 years who were readers of several Turkish teen magazines. We conducted focus group interviews to determine the impact
of the teen magazines on these Turkish Cypriot adolescent girls' perception of ideal beauty, consumption behavior, and body satisfaction, and to establish why they read the magazines. A narrative analysis showed that participants valued the teen magazines as a source of information and advice.
They were influenced by the Western image of ideal beauty promoted by the magazines, were motivated to purchase and use fashion and beauty products advertised in them, and showed signs of body dissatisfaction. However, there was some evidence of valuing difference in defining beauty. Practical
and theoretical implications of our findings are discussed.

Published: January 2018

Although the efficacy of breast cancer screening in Iran has improved, the participation of women is not yet at a satisfactory level. Some personality factors can prevent women from attending breast cancer screening and most tumors are still diagnosed at an advanced stage. We conducted
a descriptive exploration study in which we recruited healthcare providers, policymakers, and clients in Iran as participants. We used conventional content analysis with an inductive approach and gathered data from 2 discussion groups and some semistructured interviews. Three main themes emerged
from the analysis: selflessness, fatalistic beliefs, and emotional responses. These factors contributed to screening behavior as both inhibitors and facilitators. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Psychological meaningfulness and availability mediate the high potential program–affective commitment relationship
Authors: Liu Tingting , Zhou Erhua
Published: January 2018

The content and process of administering high potential (HiPo) programs have been found to contribute to employees' attitudes toward the organizations that employ them. Drawing on social exchange theory, we examined the influence of consensus on the use of HiPo programs on employees'
affective commitment through the mediators of psychological meaningfulness and psychological availability. Using a 2-wave survey, we collected data from 186 full-time employees of Chinese enterprises. We found that both psychological meaningfulness and psychological availability partially
mediated the relationship between consensus on the use of HiPo programs and followers' affective commitment. These findings highlight the importance of managers reaching an agreement about how to use HiPo programs to promote employees' emotional bond to their organization through the key psychological
conditions of meaningfulness and availability.
Social attachment shapes emergency responses: Evidence from a postfire study
Authors: Shentu Teng , Ma Jianhong , Guo Yuchen
Published: January 2018

As an alternative to the classic mass panic model for explaining human behavior in emergency situations, we tested the social attachment model notion that emergency responses are influenced by not only perceived physical danger but also social factors, such as the presence of close
others. Participants (N = 141) completed a postfire survey assessing perceived danger, presence of close others, group evacuation, emergency responses, and pre-evacuation time. Results showed that (1) individuals with close others tended to delay their evacuation and exhibit more affiliation
behaviors; (2) when with close others, women (vs. men) were more likely to exhibit affiliation and less likely to exhibit helping behaviors; and (3) regardless of the presence of close others, helping behaviors were more likely to occur when the situation was perceived as more dangerous. Further
exploration into gender norms and social identity is needed to develop a more comprehensive model of social attachment.

The paper presents the results of a comparative examination of the beef
quality obtained from females of two genotype groups: domestic Simmental
breed (A) and its crosses with Charolais breed. The sample included a total
of 20 heads, 10 in each group. Cattle were slaughtered at the same age with
uniform body weights. After slaughtering, warm carcass sides were
individually weighed, with and without kidney fat. After cooling, the left
carcass sides were cut into the basic parts according to the Rulebook and the
three-rib cut was cut off from the back part (9-10-11 rib). The content of
tissues in the three-rib cut was statistically different among the groups,
the content of muscle tissue was significantly higher (p <0.05) in cattle of
the group (A) and the content of fat tissue was statistically (p <0.05)
significantly higher in the group (B). The chemical composition of M.
longissimus dorsi did not differ statistically between groups. The
technological quality of the meat was evaluated through the tenderness of the
M. longissimus dorsi which was statistically significantly better (p <0.05)
in the cattle of the group (B) and the content of total pigments
statistically (p <0.05) significantly higher in the cattle of group (B). The
sensory traits of M. longissimus dorsi did not differ statistically
significantly between groups.

Published: January 2018

Introduction. Throughout history, various types of conjoined twins have been described, many of whom lived until adulthood. The anomaly includes several varieties, with parapagus being one of the rarer forms of conjoined twins. The aim of this paper was to present a rare case of conjoined twins ? parapagus type. Case outline. In this paper we present autopsy and radiologic findings in male 40-week-old parapagus twins from a monozygotic pregnancy, with multiple anomalies in different systems of organs and musculoskeletal systems. Parapagus twins have a side-to-side connection with shared pelvis and can be defined as one of three subtypes. In our case, it was a dithoracic parapagus subtype, with four upper and three lower limbs (tetrabrachius tripus), where the presence of the third bizarre-looking lower limb made the case even more unusual among the rare type. Both parents were drug addicts with a history of sedative abuse. The mother had regular sonographic examinations during pregnancy. Conclusion. Adequate early prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twins and possible termination of such a pregnancy are the key reasons for rare occurrence of such cases. Failure to recognize a pathological pregnancy and its maintenance until the delivery, despite regular gynecological examinations, is why our case is unique in comparison to contemporary literature.
Seeking refuge in South Africa: The victimization of vulnerable persons
Authors: James Chadley
Published: January 2018

Many Africans confront and deal with very trying situations in their
countries that are very different from the comforts enjoyed in developed
parts of the world. Labeled as a ?traumatized continent? (Norridge, 2013:
64), many Africans motivated by the basic human necessities for food and
safety flee their countries, seeking refuge in South Africa. The large influx
of refugees has given rise to invalid concerns from the government and the
?champions? of their interest (Mauss, 1975: 10), the media. These concerns
have spurred changes in the practice of the asylum system which are aimed at
targeting refugees, rather than improving their situation, increasing the
vulnerability of persons already fleeing persecution: the refugees, the
victims. The aim of this paper is to analyze the problem from a
victimological stand point, and draw attention to the issue that more
research needs to be conducted with victims to improve our understanding of
the impacts these practices have.
Excess Mortality in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Without Albuminuria—Separating the Contribution of Early and Late Risks
Authors: Groop Per-Henrik , Thomas Merlin , Feodoroff Maija , Forsblom Carol , Harjutsalo Valma
Published: January 2018

OBJECTIVE

The current study investigated whether the risk of mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes without any signs of albuminuria is different than in the general population and matched control subjects without diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We studied a nationwide, population-based Finnish register of 10,737 patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during 1980–2005 and followed for 10 years and 2,544 adults with long-standing diabetes drawn from the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy Study (FinnDiane). Mortality was compared with the general Finnish population and 6,655 control subjects without diabetes.

RESULTS

The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was increased during the first 10 years after the diagnosis (2.58 [95% CI 2.07–3.18], P < 0.001). Mortality in adults with long-standing diabetes, but without albuminuria, was no different from that of the general population (1.02 [0.84–1.22], P = 0.83). However, it was higher compared with that of control subjects without diabetes (1.33 [1.06–1.66], P = 0.01). Excess mortality was largely due to acute diabetes complications and ischemic heart disease, which remained more than fourfold higher (mortality rate ratio 4.34 [2.49–7.57]) in adults with type 1 diabetes than in control subjects without diabetes, despite the absence of albuminuria. By contrast, deaths due to alcohol and drugs were reduced in adults with type 1 diabetes (P = 0.007), especially in men.

CONCLUSIONS

Excess mortality in type 1 diabetes is the result of its complications. Acute complications drive an increased SMR in the first years. In individuals who remain free of albuminuria, mortality due to ischemic heart disease is still four times higher, and acute complications also occur.

Published: January 2018

The study analyzes the management strategy of the regional image. It defines its essence, fundamentals, target audience, the key quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the territory. The author considers the image of the region as a specific virtual reality which is deliberately developed in the minds of the various target groups and relies on reputation capital but is not determined by it. The research presents the stages of implementing the image management strategy which includes a unified concept of region-al development, the vision of the future for the target audience, a step-by-step design of perception of and attitude to the territory in order to know the programmed desires, a variety of behavioral patterns. This approach to the territorial image man-agement will eliminate the random and unpro-grammed actions and desires of the target segments, identify and neutralize the extraneous influ-ence on the regional image.

Published: January 2018

The paper presents the results of a survey conduct-ed in the spring of 2017 in order to determine the effectiveness of the investment model of the place marketing. The research subject is the situation pre-vailing in the single-industry city of Togliatti. The analysis shows that a narrowly focused model of investment place marketing is unable to solve many social problems, primarily, to create the favorable environment for human life and activities. The cho-sen path allowed one to attract investments and create jobs but it did not stop the out-migration of young people, did not solve education and culture problems as well as did not raise the living stand-ards of the population. In the authors’ opinion, in order to overcome this situation, it is necessary to focus on the basic concepts of the knowledge economy theory and the creative city while using the place marketing in strategic planning.
Scenario approach to predict the poverty rate in the Russian Federation
Authors:   Bashkir State University, Ibragimova Zulfiya Fanurovna
Published: January 2018

All societies faced the problem of poverty at all times. Nowadays, it remains the urgent challenge for every state. Despite the best efforts of scientists and experts to find ways for poverty reduction, the dynamics of this phenomenon is intensified. Besides, there is no unified interpretation of the poverty line to assess its scope. The successful solution of this problem requires a comprehensive study and scientific justification for applying the tools of many sciences. Statistical analysis and prediction techniques will contribute to a deeper analysis of the phenomenon of poverty and enable one to predict its variation. The study presents an outlook for the number of people living below the poverty line by means of a distributed lag model up to 2020. The prediction is made according to realistic, pessimistic, and optimistic scenarios. The prerequisites for the least squares method performance are checked with the help of several statistical tests such as White Test for Heteroskedasticity, Breusch-Pagan Test for Heteroskedasticity, BreuschGodfrey Serial Correlation LM Test. The author substantiates the fact that the poverty rate at a particular time is determined by the average cash income not at the present time but in the past. The relationship between these indicators is reversed.

The feminist movement in Russia in historical perspective
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kabaikina Olga Vladimirovna
Published: January 2018

The study reviews the history of the feminist (women’s) movement in Russia. The paper describes the main stages of feminism development in Europe, analyzes several gender works of Western researches. The author emphasizes the spread of women’s movement in the USSR and Russia, the legitimization of women’s rights, and the creation of communities to support gender equality. The study reveals the attitude of the Russian people towards the feminist movement by examining the results of various empirical surveys conducted in the Russian society. Despite the struggle for equal rights for women and men, different forms of discrimination continue to exist. Thus, women rarely hold the senior positions, their wages are lower than men’s ones. The legislative instruments adopted by the government to overcome the gender imbalance are not implemented or not fully implemented. The research defines the differences of the feminist movement in Europe and Russia. It is concluded that the women’s movement that does not antagonize the men and uses the tools and mechanisms created by men to defend their ideals, rights and freedoms has become more common in Russia.

Authors:   Krasnodar University of  the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Koroleva Tatyana Petrovna , Shcherbakova Elena Alekseevna ,   Krasnodar Air Force Institute for Pilots
Published: January 2018

The traditional view of the extremely negative role of minimal dysfunction and brain damage in the psychological status of a person requires experimental verification on a large and relatively homogeneous sample of examinees. The study presents the test results for 500 male student pilots aged 18–19 who are physically and mentally healthy according to the Pathocharacterologic Diagnostic Questionnaire, the 16PF Questionnaire by R. Cattell, and the Neuropsychic Instability and Accentuation Questionnaire. The cognitive indicators, military and professional motivation and minimal brain dysfunction rates are recorded. The results are differentiated by the minimal brain criteria. The most complex form of minimal brain dysfunction (MBD) was evident in 14.7% of cases, and minimal brain damage (Index B) was typical for 6.8%. There is no relationship among these criteria. High values of Index B indicating the organic nature of psychopathy is positively correlated with the indicators of emotional stability, credulity, expressiveness, non-anxiety, self-control, attention, intelligence, insight, military and professional motivation. When Index B is high, the functions of the right side of the body, audio modality of perception, left-brain thinking are less evident. MBD indicator is positively correlated with the practical thinking, self-sufficiency, audio modality of perception and the left type of action. MBD plays the negative role for intelligence, image memory, visual modality of perception, and such indicators of military and professional motivation as the developed worldview and self-regulation of impulses. These qualities are subject to correction by means of psychological training of personal development. The results obtained suggest that both criteria are informative when assessing professional suitability.
Feminismos en la frontera norte de México. Un análisis desde la interseccionalidad y las identidades complejas
Authors: García Alcaraz Janet Gabriela , Solís Marlene
Published: January 2018

En este estudio partimos de pensar a las mujeres como agentes de cambio que se apropian de diferentes espacios de resistencia, para reivindicar demandas de mejora de las condiciones de género y de la precariedad de sus vidas. A través del análisis de narrativas de mujeres feministas que residen y tienen incidencia en el estado de Baja California, se discute la perspectiva de la interseccionalidad y su relación con los planteamientos sobre las identidades complejas. Para ello, se propone un esquema analítico de los discursos feministas, considerando las diferencias generacionales, étnicas y de posición social. Con ello, se logra dar cuenta de la condición de opresión de género como un elemento compartido, más no como componente unificador, así como de los mecanismos de configuración de la intersubjetividad feminista.

Authors: Olavarría Patiño María Eugenia
Published: January 2018

Con el fin de conceptualizar la figura de la gestante sustituta en México, este artículo explora los significados que la práctica de la “maternidad subrogada” evoca tanto entre los actores que participan en ella, como entre quienes la abordan en distintos contextos de la vida pública. A través de un recorrido comparativo con las figuras de la madre, la nodriza, la cuidadora, la concubina y la prostituta -contrastado con la etnografía recopilada entre 2015 y 2016 en Villahermosa, Tabasco- y la Ciudad de México se concluye que la gestante sustituta representa una fase del trabajo reproductivo; noción asociada, en gran medida, a la fuerza de trabajo y el cuerpo femeninos.

Se caracterizó la composición florística y la estructura de dos fragmentos bosques premontanos de la cordillera oriental en el municipio de Villeta Cundinamarca, entre 1780 y 1830 msnm, para lo cual se censaron todos los individuos con diámetro a la altura de pecho ≥ 10 cm en 0,1 ha en cada bosque. En total se registraron 67 especies correspondientes a 45  familias botánicas, sobresaliendo: Lauraceae, Melastomataceae, Moraceae, Myrtaceae y Euphorbiaceae, por su riqueza y diversidad. El fragmento La Esmeralda presentó una mayor riqueza con 48 especies, siendo Quercus humboldtii, Alfaroa colombiana, Guatteria lehmannii y Clethra fagifolia las más abundantes, mientras que San Isidro solo registro 42 especies donde predominaron Clethra fagifolia, Hedyosmum bonplandianum  y Meriania speciosa. Seis de las familias más abundantes se encontraron simultáneamente en ambos sitios. La diversidad florística es similar en los dos fragmentos (H` 3,5 y 3,3), sin embargo el índice de similaridad es bajo, compartiendo solo el 29,3% de las especies, además los resultados indican que estos bosques presentan una baja riqueza ya que se registraron un menor número de especie e individuos que los reportados para otros estudios de bosques premontanos.

Las áreas boscosas de las ciudades, como el campus Meléndez de la Universidad del Valle, tienen la importancia de conectar el área urbana y el área rural y ofrecer recursos para el sostenimiento de la biodiversidad en la ciudad. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el uso de los árboles samán (Samanea saman) y chiminango (Pithecellobium dulce) por aves, en el Jardín Botánico Universitario (JBU) de la Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia. El samán y el chiminango fueron visitados por 45 especies de aves de 17 familias, una endémica, 41 residentes y 3 migratorias, entre septiembre y noviembre de 2012. Se registró por primera vez para el JBU el colibrí Ocreatus underwoodii. La alimentación fue la actividad más importante de las aves y se distribuyó en cada especie de árbol así: consumo de néctar (51.4%) y búsqueda-consumo de insectos (47.1%) en samán; y búsqueda-consumo de insectos (61.5%) y consumo de semillas (29.7%) en chiminango.  Hubo folivoría y depredación de flores por algunas especies de aves en samán y chiminango, y acecho-caza de polluelos en samán. Además, cuatro especies de aves construyeron nido en el chiminango, mientras que ninguna lo hizo en samán. En conclusión, las aves usaron los sustratos y estratos, de manera que ellas coexisten y utilizan los recursos que los árboles proveen. De hecho, las especies de aves que visitaron más frecuentemente el samán y chiminango, utilizaron todos los estratos y tuvieron una dieta heterogénea o generalista.

Published: January 2018

Dentro del grupo de modelos de redes neuronales artificiales está el perceptrón multicapa: una red neuronal unidireccional constituida por tres o más capas, cuyo entrenamiento se hace mediante un algoritmo denominado retro-propagacion de errores. En este trabajo, proponemos e implementamos por primera vez, el método secante estructurado para el entrenamiento del perceptrón multicapa y analizamos su desempeño numérico comparandolo con métodos ampliamente usados con el mismo proposito. Pruebas numéricas preliminares muestran un buen desempeño numérico del método propuesto.

Published: January 2018

En el seguimiento de los ecosistemas es frecuente el uso de herramientas ecológicas del medio para su evaluacón y gestión, motivo por el cual los bioindicadores constituyen un elemento fiable para tal fin. Las algas se destacan por ser buenos bioindicadores de calidad ambiental, por ello en este estudio se compararon las comunidades de algas de un área marina protegida y una no protegida. Se realizaron análisis comparando la cobertura algal en relación con las áreas estudiadas y se obtuvieron valores de similitud donde se destacaron las especies más relevantes para posteriormente aplicarles que la cobertura de Cystoseira mediterranea y Ellisolandia elongata fue mayor en el área protegida, mientras que Ulva intestinalis y Caulerpa racemosa predominaron en la zona no protegida. Estas últimas se consideran como especies indicadoras de áreas impactadas.
Comportamiento de fases del La2 CuO4+d debido al contenido de oxigeno
Authors: REVISTAS SISTEMAS
Published: January 2018

Usando medidas in situ de resistividad eléctrica (T) en ambiente de aire, hemos estudiado el comportamiento de fases por encima de la temperatura ambiente del sistema La2 CuO4+d , en muestras tratadas termicamente para obtener muestras con y sin deficiencias de oxigeno. Nuestros resultados en muestras sin deficiencia de oxigeno exhiben una anomalia en p(T) alrededor de 600k correspondiente  a la transición de fase estructural de ortorrómbica a tetragonal. Sin embargo, esta anomalía se observó con bastante intensidad en el primer barrido de calentamiento en muestras con mínimo contenido de oxígeno, lo cual atribuimos a la rápida difusión de oxígeno hacia el volumen de la muestra alrededor de esta temperatura.

Published: January 2018

La toxocariasis es una zoonosis  común  en países  en desarrollo, como  Colombia. La ingesta accidental de huevos de Toxocara sp representa la principal  vía de transmisión al humano, por tanto, la vigilancia de la contaminación ambiental es una de las principales estrategias en la prevención de la toxocariasis. El objetivo fue optimizar una metodología para evaluar la contaminación del suelo por huevos de Toxocara canis. Las muestras de suelo se colectaron en un parque público en la ciudad de con MgSO4 (r=1,20),  ZnSO4 (r=1,18),  NaCl (r=1,18)  y solución  de Sheather  (r=1,27).  El ADN del parasito se extrajo y se identifico mediante amplificacion de del ITS-2-ADNr (PCR-ITS-2) del T. canis y posterior  secuenciación de nucleótidos. El análisis  ANOVA  indicó  diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05) entre las concentraciones de ADN obtenidos con las soluciones de floculacion utilizadas para aislar los huevos. El analisis de PCR-ITS-2 mostro resultado positivo para T.canis en 7 de 13 muestras examinadas (53,84%). En conclusión, se demuestra que el método propuestoes eficiente para la deteccion T. canis en muestras de campo.

Published: January 2018

El polimorfismo del gen de la Apolipoproteina E (ApoE) ha mostrado ser un factor implicado en la etiologia de patologias cardiovasculares y neurodegenerativas; sus distintas isoformas son codificadas por tres alelos comunes, E2, E3 y E4, siendo este ultimo el principal factor de riesgo para llegar a sufrir la enfermedad del Alzheimer tipo esporadico o de inicio tradio. Considerando que el origen etnico y poblacional han mostrado ser factores determinantes del genotipo de este gen, y teniendo en cuenta la contribucion amerindia, afrodescendiente y europea a la poblacion del Valle del Cauca, se definio como objetivo de esta investigacion conocer la distribucion de las frecuencias aleliacs y genotipicas para el gen ApoE en este departamento y comparar estos resultados con los reportados por otras poblaciones de Colombia.
