Published: December 2019

Introduction: Infection by Mycoplasma pneumoniae is becoming more frequent at younger ages. It appears as a generally benign and unspecific clinical condition of respiratory symptoms and sometimes responsible for a broad spectrum of extrapulmonary manifestations. Objective: To describe demographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment characteristics of pediatric-age patients with positive serology for M. pneumoniae diagnosed at the Pablo Tobón Uribe Hospital (HPTU) during the 2006-2008 period. Materials and methods: Observational, retrospective study, which describes the demographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment characteristics of patients from 1 month to 14 years of age with positive IgM for M. pneumoniae seen at HPTU during September 2006 and November 2008. Results: We reviewed 305 clinical charts of patients with positive IgM for M. pneumoniae. The average age was 5.15 years ± 3.62 SD. Cough (87.5%), fever (65.9%), rhinorrea (39.3%), and respiratory difficulty (38%) were the most frequent clinical findings. Extrapulmonary compromise was mainly manifested in the skin (12.8%), the central nervous system (CNS) (3.6%), and osteomuscular system (3.9%). Auscultation and thoracic X-ray were normal in 33.1% and 30.8% of the patients, respectively. Episodes of asthma exacerbation were related to infection by Mycoplasma in 35% of the cases. A total of 51% of the patients required hospitalization with an average stay of seven days. All the patients received antibiotic treatment; clarithromycin (75.8%) was the antibiotic of choice. Conclusion: Infection by M. pneumoniae has a broad range of clinical manifestations, requiring a high index of clinical suspicion and an active search for extrapulmonary compromise given that in our realm there is no specific diagnostic method for the acute infection.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide and the second cause of cancer mortality in women. It has been demonstrated that the process of cervical carcinogenesis displays genetic and environmental epigenetic components. Currently, research is focused on new prognosis markers like oncogene amplification. Objectives: To perform detection of MYCN, C-MYC, MYCL1, ERBB2, EGFR, and AKT2 amplification. Additionally, to detect human papillomavirus in samples from normal cytology smear, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I, II, and III and cervical cancer patients. Methods: Papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping by reverse line blot (RLB) performed and gene amplification by detection with real-time PCR with Taqman probes. Results: HPV was present in 4% of the patients with normal cytology, 48% in CIN I, 63.6% in CIN II, 64% in CIN III, and 70.8% in cervical cancer. Genes amplified in cervical cancer were MYCN (39.1%), ERBB2 (34.7%), and MYCL1 (30.4%); showed higher amplification in high-grade lesions and cervical cancer in relation to low-grade lesions and normal cytology with statistically significant differences. Besides the genes, C-MYC, EGFR, and AKT2 were amplified in samples from patients with cervical cancer by 12%, 18%, and 13%, respectively; we did not find statistical differences. Conclusion: Higher prevalence of gene amplification and HPV was found in high-grade cervical lesions and cervical cancer.

Objective: To characterize the molecular and biochemical features of the Endonuclease G of Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis. Methods: The gene of the putative L. (V.) panamensis Endonuclease G was amplified, cloned, and sequenced. The recombinant protein was produced in a heterologous expression system and biochemical assays were run to determine its ion, temperature, and pH preferences. Results: The L. (V.) panamensis rENDOG has biochemical features similar to those found in other trypanosomatids and higher eukaryotes. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed a possible evolutionary relationship with metazoan ENDOG. Conclusions: L. (V.) panamensis has a gene that codifies an ENDOG homologous to those of higher organisms. This enzyme can be produced in Escherichia coli and is able to degrade covalently closed circular double-stranded DNA. It has a magnesium preference, can be inhibited by potassium, and is able to function within a wide temperature and pH range.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Hearing loss is a frequent problem in childhood with an incidence of about one case per 1000 births. Control of deafness should be aimed at prevention and early diagnosis in efforts to provide appropriate treatment and stimulate adequate communication in children affected. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of different etiologies among deaf children with a diagnosis of prelingual sensorineural hearing loss referred to the Fundación CINDA in Bogotá, Colombia, between 1997 and 2008. Materials and methods: The medical records were selected from those with prelingual hearing loss. Information was gathered in a format containing variables related to the risk factors suggested by the Joint Committee of Infant Hearing. Results: We studied 254 children; boys and girls were equally distributed. The most common etiological diagnosis was «unknown cause», followed by genetic causes (31 cases), and 38 cases from TORCH infections (toxoplasmosis, others – syphilis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes), with rubella as the most common cause. Conclusions: Review of prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal history often reveals the cause of the deafness in children; therefore, appropriate evaluation of pregnant mothers could result in decreased frequency of deafness in children in our country.

Objective: To explore some factors associated to stunted growth in children below 11 years of age in the Department of Antioquia. Methodology: Cross-sectional study using the databases of alimentary and nutritional profiles in homes of Antioquia in 2004, based on a representative random sample of homes in the department (95% reliability and error margin of 3%). For this study, 100% of the records of children below 11 years of age were used. A model of generalized equations estimation was constructed for stunted growth classified by a Z score smaller than -2 standard deviation with respect to p 50 of the 1978 NCHS (Centro Nacional de Estadísticas de la Salud -  National Center for Health Statistics). Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX Procedure: SAS version 9.1. Results: We found 18.6% of the children with stunted growth, 75% of the homes with male head of household, 70% of heads of household with maximum 5 years of schooling; 47% of homes were nucleated bi-parental, and 40% extensive with a 5-member median per home; 56.4% poor per unsatisfied basic needs, and 80% in alimentary insecurity. The factors associated to stunted growth were: female gender, 1-5 years of age, head of household with less than 6 years of schooling, more than 5 people in the home, more than two household members under 7 years of age, coming from a poor home per unsatisfied basic needs, belonging to a sub-region different from Medellin, food availability of less than 30 different foods per week, no production of food, and head of household under 40 years of age.

Published: December 2019

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the ethiological agent of one of the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America, where around ten-million individuals are affected. Brazil has the highest incidence but in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Argentina cases have also been reported. We describe a 56-year-old male with a one year history of lip, oral mucosa, and lung lesions. Granulomas and multinucleated giant cells were observed in histopathological evaluation with haematoxilyn-eosin stain. Mycologic studies (KOH and Gomori Grocott stain) showed blastoconidias with multiple budding. Serologic tests for paracoccidioidine were reactive. A diagnosis of chronic multifocal paracoccidioidomycosis was made. Initially, amphotericin B 0.7 mg/kg per day was started for fifteen days and consecutively itraconazole (400 mg/day) was administered orally with improvement of skin and lung lesions; however, an important residual fibrosis was observed. The patient was lost to follow up. We highlight the importance of an early diagnosis and adequate treatment to decrease sequelae in patient quality of life.

Authors: Kharisma Agi Putra , Pinandito Aryo
Published: December 2019

Paratransit (mikrolet) was very popular in Malang city. However, their popularity is reduced by the availability of wide variety of more modern and online public transportations. One of the obstacles commonly faced by passengers of mikrolet is the limited information about the routes taken by mikrolet. In this paper, we proposed a prototype of service that can generate trip planning by mikrolet. We use depth-first search (DFS) algorithm as the basis to build our solution because it is relatively simple to modify. The service for trip planning available through REST web service and utilize location-based service style. Based on functionality testing result, the proposed system successfully generate all trip plans as expected. From performance perspective, when the number of routes and plans increased, the overall system performance degrades, so in the future the proposed prototype and its algorithm may needs further optimization.

Published: December 2019

Procedural Content Generation (PCG) is an emerging field of study in computer science that focuses on automating the process of generating content by using algorithm, making the content generation process with less human effort. However, a more specific empirical evidence on how it is being used in a game-related implementation are still lacking. This paper presents the findings of review performed in the past 5 years looking on how PCG are being applied in game-related content, whether it is from the basic paper characteristic to analyze the trends, the field of PCG itself, and the game domain of game model and game genre. The studies had shown that PCG are being used extensively in game-related content but has seen more uses on specific type of contents rather than being used ubiquitously in all sorts of contents. The result shown that there are not specific best type of PCG method or algorithm being used instead an array of approach can be used based on what content being created. Result also shown that PCG are being used in multiple type of games, but similarly, based on the paper found, only certain types of game benefits PCG extensively such as action and platforming games while other model and genre of games have not seen much PCG application yet. Further studies are also required to analyze how experimentation and evaluation of PCG are being done as well as PCG domain in educational games as well as game-based learning, the quality catachrestic being analyzed on the papers are also worth mentioning to understand the underlying result of PCG usage in game-related contents.

Published: December 2019

Proportional tuition fees assessment is an optimization process to find a compromise point between student willingness to pay and institution income. Using a genetic algorithm to find optimal solutions requires effective chromosome representations, parameters, and operator genetic to obtain efficient search. This paper proposes a new chromosome representation and also finding efficient genetic parameters to solve the proportional tuition fees assessment problem. The results of applying the new chromosome representation are compared with another chromosome representation in the previous study. The evaluations show that the proposed chromosome representation obtains better results than the other in both execution time required and the quality of the solutions.

Religious Symbols in Public Schools: Key Issues and Debates
Authors: Črnič Aleš , Pogačnik Anja
Published: December 2019

When discussing Religious Education, the topic of religious symbols in educational spaces is largely overlooked in academic literature and often side-lined in political considerations as well. This paper examines the issue of religious symbols in public schools by highlighting two foci: how the Muslim veil is managed in public schools in select European countries and zooming in on specific suggestions for managing religious symbols in public schools in Slovenia. By combining a broader, comparative perspective with practical, small-scale policy suggestions, the paper highlights the need to include a discussion of religious symbols in public schools in our academic and political considerations of religion and education.

Published: December 2019

This article is about analyzing the state dynamics that goes from planning, through the public budget, to materialize with public procurement. Its focus is to find, in each of these institutes linked to the economic and financial order, its point of intersection with sustainable development, defended in the present work as one of the fundamental principles of the Republic, through the intertwining of arts. 1º, 3º, 170 and 225 of the Constitution. From this, it sheds some light on what is called sustainable public procurement, calling attention to the state purchasing power, which, because of the large volume of resources it moves, can be an important tool to induce and influence the market to a more sustainable behavior. Thus, recognizing the socio-environmental crisis suffered by the planet, it is intended to articulate forces to develop a culture oriented to reconcile the dimensions of sustainability, especially its economic, social and environmental aspects. Thus, adopting a qualitative research methodology of bibliographic review, it was concluded that, from planning to hiring, the State necessarily needs to opt for sustainable development, under penalty of aggravation of the socio-environmental crisis or even make the effort in sustainable public procurement mere initiatives in the field of public administration.

Vistra Mewujudkan Sekolah Pencetak Wirausaha Negeri Atas Awan di SMK Negeri 1 Blado
Authors: Barliana Lutfah
Published: December 2019

Vocational High Schools are predicted as young generation printers who are ready to face the world of work and industry. In this case it means that SMK graduates are ready to work in industry or are entrepreneurs so that they can create their own jobs. However, in reality the last few years there have been various surveys conducted by statistical bodies which state that SMK graduates actually contribute the most to unemployment in Indonesia. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency in February 2017 the number of unemployed people in Indonesia was 7.02 million with the highest percentage coming from vocational graduates at 9.84% (available at finance.detik.com accessed on April 1, 2019). The phenomenon is getting worse because in August 2017 the unemployment rate increased to 7.04 million. In August 2018 the unemployment rate of SMK graduates reached 11.25%. That number increased from February 2018 which had reached 8.92%. Actually this can be overcome by instilling an entrepreneurial spirit in students. If students are trained to be entrepreneurs at least even if students are not absorbed in working in the industry, they can still create their own business and the surrounding environment. For this reason researchers as principals at SMK Negeri 1 Blado carry out entrepreneurial tasks with a transformative visionary leadership style to form entrepreneurial printing schools. This best practice text aims to describe the implementation of transformative visionary leadership to form an entrepreneurial printing school along with the results, impacts, supporting factors, constraints and counter measures. The conclusions of this best practice script are (1) transformative visionary leadership to form entrepreneurial printing schools implemented by translating visionary ideas into factual reality, working together with all school members and the community which then proceed with the preparation and implementation of the program. The implementation of the entrepreneurship printing school program emphasizes three activities namely, entrepreneurship printing school worshop, entrepreneurship training, and industry visits to foster interest and talent of students in entrepreneurship and (2) the results of the application of transformative visionary leadership to form entrepreneurship printing schools are as many as 35 students of State Vocational Schools 1 Blado joined the program. One student managed to get a turnover of over five million rupiah over three months and had the opportunity to showcase his products at the 2019 national entrepreneurship exhibition. The obstacle factor in this program is the limited internet signal in the Blado region. The supporting factors of this program are support from the government and the development of information and communication technology. Follow-up from this program is that it will continue to be implemented in the second half of 2019 to encourage students to be more active in practicing their entrepreneurial abilities.

FIELD STUDY ON KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS REGARDING VIOLENCE IN TRAFFIC AND ROAD RAGE
Authors: REVA Zeynep
Published: December 2019

Context and Aim: The road rage can be defined as the anger occurred while driving and its level can be associated with aggressive and risky driving, loss of concentration and vehicular control, and near accident misses on traffic. The aim of this study is to measure whether the attitudes and behaviors of people in the face of incidents in traffic are covered by road rage and also whether people are aware of their legal rights when they encounter violence in traffic.

Methodology: In this study, the factorability of the 14-item short form of Driver Anger Scale (DAS) was investigated among 421 drivers from Turkish population, and SPSS program has been used in the analyses.

Findings: Drivers had more difficulty in controlling their anger and showed aggressive behaviors when they felt they were at risk and could control their anger better in cases of impatience, such as waiting for a vehicle to park. The percentage of those who honk in traffic and of those who flash their lights when they get angry in traffic was 71% and 57%, respectively, which suggest that the acts of honking, flashing lights have become normal and are not considered as acts of violence. While 75% of the surveyed drivers, and 80% of the non-lawyers surveyed drivers stated that they did not know their legal rights when they encountered violence in traffic, 81% of the lawyers who participated in the research stated that they knew their legal rights.

Conclusion: Violence in traffic ranges from injury to killing, from insulting to sexual harassment, from endangering traffic safety to damage to property.  Although there are some regulations proposed in the legal dimension to combat violence in traffic and suggestions to enable drivers to control their anger, the main solution is increasing the level of culture and education.

Authors: Araque Salazar María Cristina , Moreno Cazar William Marcelo
Published: December 2019

El estudio analiza el síndrome de BURNOUT en docentes con dedicación medio tiempo y tiempo completo en la carrera de Finanzas y Auditoría, con el objetivo de identificar la existencia de este factor psicosocial y las eviden-cias en relación con las manifestaciones características tanto en el humor como en la salud de los encuestados, relacionadas con las horas laboradas y el tiempo destinado a su vida familiar y personal. Es decir, existe relación entre el tipo de trabajo y la incidencia del síndrome de BURNOUT, para lo cual se emplearon encuestas anónimas a los docentes. Se utiliza un modelo descriptivo, a través del cual se obtuvieron los datos para determinar las ca-racterísticas particulares de cada docente, posibles cambios emocionales o sintomatología. Para esto, se aplicó una encuesta con preguntas cerradas derivadas del marco teórico, donde se puede identificar que la docencia y el contacto constante con las necesidades y requerimientos de los estudiantes, sumado a la exigencia académica, a la gestión docente y a la investigación, inevitablemente restan tiempo a la vida personal y familiar de los académicos. La encuesta confirma el problema planteado respecto a la presunción de vulnerabilidad a este riesgo psicosocial. Los resultados arrojaron datos sobre la afectación de los docentes en cuanto a su salud física y emocional que corroboran el planteamiento de a mayor exigencia laboral más síntomas y dolencias.

La seguridad en la cadena logística en el marco del programa denominado Operador Económico Autorizado (OEA), tanto de nuestro país, así como de los que conforman la Comunidad Andina (CAN) es un tema poco investigado. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue diagnosticar la situación actual del programa OEA en los países de la CAN. Para analizarlo, fue necesario comparar los beneficios que otorgan las entidades aduaneras a los OEA en cada país de la CAN, así como también fue importante consultar a las empresas exportadoras ecuatorianas sus diferentes puntos de vista frente a la implementación del programa OEA en Ecuador. Para el establecimiento del diagnóstico de los OEA se utilizó un nivel de estudio descriptivo y exploratorio con modalidad documental, y para el análisis de las empresas exportadoras del Ecuador se empleó el método cuantitativo, basado en estadística descriptiva. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan una importante cantidad de beneficios otorgados por la entidad aduanera del Ecuador en comparación a los que otorgan las mismas entidades en los países que conforman la CAN. En cuanto a las empresas exportadoras ecuatorianas se deduce que es poco lo que conocen en referencia al programa OEA.

The council of Europe reference framework of competences for democratic culture: Ideological refractions, othering and obedient politics
Authors: Simpson Ashley , Dervin Fred
Published: December 2019

The popularity of the idea of interculturality, in different parts of the world, means that there are many differing meanings and ways in which the notion is understood, represented, and expressed. In contrast to the polysemy of the intercultural, democracy often appears on the surface to be understood through universalist and/or absolutist conceptualisations. Combining the intercultural and democracy thus requires problematisation. In this article we use The Council of Europe Reference Framework On Competencies For Democratic Culture (2018) as an example showing how the notion of the intercultural is constructed. We use a form of intertextuality in order to show the performance of competing ideologies found in this document. Some of the ideologies found within the texts clearly mark Eurocentric discourses and a stigmatization of the other. Also, the way in which the political is sanitized can engender a language of depoliticization and obedience. As a result, we problematise Critical Interculturality as a way to move beyond culturalist self-centered notions of the intercultural arguing that the political and the social cannot be separated from the intercultural when discussing democracy.
