Authors: Акімова Наталія
Published: November 2018

Метою статті є розробка критеріїв для визначення свідомості та її структурування. Для цього  використано групу теоретичних методів, зокрема  узагальнення, аналіз та синтез, описовий (прийоми  логіко-психологічних й опозиційних інтерпретацій, словникової дефініції, компонентного аналізу та ін.),  корелятивний та концептуальний аналіз, класифікацію. У результаті  проаналізовано та систематизовано  доробок відомих радянських вчених з питання визначення та структури свідомості. Зокрема, окреслені  концепції свідомості С. Л. Рубінштейна, Б. Г. Ананьєва, О. М. Леонтьєва, А. В. Петровського, О. Р. Лурії,  Л.  С.  Виготського.  Також  представлено  популярні  структури  свідомості,  репрезентовані  у  сучасних  підручниках та в Інтернеті, висвітлено їх переваги та недоліки. У висновках представлена позиція автора  щодо сучасного визначення свідомості та її структурування. Визначено, що у дефініції свідомості мають  бути  зазначені  родо-видова  віднесеність,  зміст  і  структура  та,  можливо,  функції.  Пропонується  розглядати свідомість як рівень психіки, що містить оцінки, ставлення та ідеали щодо навколишнього  світу та самого себе. Відповідно структурно свідомість представлена двома аспектами: свідомістю щодо  інших та самосвідомістю, кожен з цих аспектів містить оцінки, ставлення та ідеали

The purpose of the article is to develop criteria for determining of consciousness and its structuring. A  group of theoretical methods was used for this, in particular generalization, analysis and synthesis, descriptive  (techniques of logical-psychological and oppositional interpretations, vocabulary definition, component analysis,  etc.), correlation and conceptual analysis, classification. As a result, the works about  the question of consciousness  determination and structure of famous Soviet scientists, classics of psychology is analyzed and systematized. In  particular, the consciousness concepts of S.L. Rubinstein, B.G. Ananiev, OM Leont'ev, AV Petrovsky, O. R. Luria,  and L. S. Vygotsky. Also some variants of the structure of consciousness are presented, that represented in modern  textbooks and on the Internet. Their advantages and disadvantages are accented. The author's position on modern  definition of consciousness and its structuring is presented in the conclusions. It is determined that in the generic  formulation of consciousness definition should be indicated the essence and structure and, possibly, functions. The  author proposes to consider consciousness as a level of psyche that contains valuation, attitudes and ideals about the world and us. Accordingly, consciousness structure is represented by two aspects: consciousness of others and  self-conscience, each of these aspects contains valuation, attitudes and ideals.

У статті розглянуто сучасні підходи до інтерпретації категорії розвитку, розкрито теоретичні  та методологічні підходи до вивчення категорії розвитку у сучасній психології, визначено її психологічний  зміст,   моделі,   структуру   та   динаміку.   Категорія   розвитку   розглядається   як   епіцентр   наукової  проблематики у психології та як поняття інтегративного типу. Розвиток проаналізовано як категорію,  явище і проблему психології розвитку в різних аспектах аналізу. Розглянуто місце розвитку в системі  споріднених психологічних понять. У статті також аналізуються психологічні аспекти теоретичних та  методологічних  постнекласичних  тенденцій  вивчення  природи,  характеру  та  визначення  психічного  розвитку. Постнекласична парадигма та плюралістична методологія пізнання визначають розмитість  дисциплінарної мови  та  врахування  ролі  соціокультурного  контексту  при  вивченні  психологічних явищ.  Важливими тенденціями сучасного теоретико-методологічного стану психологічних досліджень розвитку  також є визнання неефективності моністичного підходу до його вивчення, взаємозв'язок теоретичних ідей  та   спроби   створення   метатеоретичних   схем,   постнекласичне   розуміння   розвитку   як   принципово  незавершеного   процесу   саморуху,   актуалізація   антропологічного   діапазону   проблем   та   посилення  спрямованості на роль культурного контексту в дослідженні розвитку людини. 

The article deals with the modern approaches to the interpretation of the category of development, reveals  the theoretical and methodological approaches to study of development in modern psychology, its psychological  content, patterns, structure and dynamics. Category of development is viewed as an epicenter of scientific issues in  modern  psychology  and  the  concept  of  the  integrative  type.  Category  of  development  is  considered  as  the  phenomenon  and  the  problem  of  developmental  psychology  in  various  aspects  of  the  analysis.  Analyzed  the  development site in the related psychological concepts. The article analyzes the psychological aspects of theoretical  and methodological postnonclassical contemporary trends in the study of nature, character, and determination of  mental  development.  Postnonclassical  paradigm  and  pluralistic  methodology  of  knowledge  determine  the  disciplinary blurring and increase of the role of the analysis of socio-cultural context in the study of psychological  phenomenon. The important tendencies of modern theoretical and methodological state of psychological researches  of development are facts of inefficiency of the monistic approach to its study, interconnection of theoretical ideas  and   attempts   of  creating   metatheoretical   schemes,   postnonclassical   understanding   of   development   as   a  fundamentally  uncompleted  process  of  self-motion,  actualization  of  anthropological  range  of  problems  and  strengthening of focus on the role of cultural context in research of human development.

У статті проаналізовано особливості зв’язку історичних фігурацій ритуально-побутової поведінки  особистості  та  музично-акустичного  довкілля  соціальної  спільноти  на  засадах  трансдисциплінарного  ритмоаналізу. Індикатором їхньої когерентності визначено ритми соціального конструювання регулярних  практик  в  просторі  поселень  різного  масштабу.  Найперше  вони  стосуються  ритуалів  та  ритуально- побутової поведінки особистості, які супроводжуються музикою різних інструментів. Розглянуто існуючі  в сучасному інструментознавстві класифікації музичних інструментів, зокрема за основу аналізу взято  систематику Е. Горнбостля – К. Закса. На основі реінтепретації результатів ритуалістичних студій в  межах   чотирьох   основних   напрямів   виокремлено   низку   реляційних   маркерів   морфогенезу   ритуалу  (рекурентність,   періодичність,   рекурсивність,   пертурбативність).   Вони   засвідчують   основні   типи  ритміки  психолого-історичних  фігурацій  ритуальної  поведінки  особистості  в  межах  традиційного,  модерного  та  постмодерного  побуту  міста  та  села,  зокрема  в  аспекті  практик  музикування  та  особливостей  перцепції  музичного  довкілля.  Показано,  що  ті  чи  інші  музичні  практики  пов’язані  з   типовими ритмами ритуальної поведінки в межах історичного виду побуту

The article analyzes the features of the connection between historical figurations of the ritual and everyday  behavior  of  an  individual  and  the  musical-acoustic  environment  of  a  social  community  on  the  basis  of  transdisciplinary rhythmanalysis. The rhythms of social designing of regular practices in the areas of settlements of  different proportions are considered as indicator of their coherence. They relate to the rituals and ritual and  everyday behavior of the individual, accompanied by the music of various instruments. Are reviewed the existed  clasiffications of musical instruments in modern instrumental study, in particular, based on the analysis of the  systematics of E.Hornbostel - K. Zachs. Based on reinterpretation of the results of ritualistic studies within the four  main directions, a number of relational markers of morphogenesis of the ritual are identified (namely recurrence,  periodicity, recursiveness, perturbativity). They attest to the main types of rhythms of psychological and historical  figurations of the ritual behavior of an individual within the limits of traditional, modern and postmodern everyday  life of city and village, in particular, in the aspect of the practice of music and the features of perception of musical  environment. It is shown that these or other musical practices are associated with certain typical rhythms of the  ritual behavior within the limits of a historical type of everyday life

У  статті  представлено  аксіопсихологічний  варіант  здійснення  методологічної  тріангуляції  в  психології  особистості,  який  базується  на  категорії  хронотопу  як  холістичної  одиниці  персонального  буття. Таким чином було об’єднано дихотомічні у формально-логічному відношенні процеси телеологічної і  каузальної детермінації –  інтеріоризації та екстеріоризації, індивідуалізації-соціалізації, персоніфікації- персоналізації, аксіогенезу і культурогенезу, циклічного часу і лінійного часу тощо, а також конструкти –  особистісного смислу та суспільного значення, захисних механізмів та копінг-стратегій, его-ідентичності і  наративної   ідентичності,   ментативу   й   наративу,   термінальних   та   інструментальних   цінностей,  індивідуального характеру та соціальної ролі, прагнення до особистого щастя і професійного успіху тощо в  гармонійно   збалансовану  цілісність  когерентних   психологічних  механізмів  персоногенезу.   Розглянуті  епістемологічні модуси методологічної тріангуляції можуть слугувати взірцем метааналізу і подальшої  герменевтичної  роботи  з  аксіопсихологічної  реконструкції  різноманітних  персонологічних  дискурсів  не  лише  в  царині  фундаментальної  науки,    а  й  у  царині  різноманітних  експериментальних  і  прикладних  досліджень.     

The  article  presents  the  axiopsychological  variant  of  methodological  triangulation  implementation  in  personality  psychology  based  on  the  chronotope  category  as  a  holistic  unit  of  personal  existence.  Thus  the  dichotomous  in  the  formally  logical  regards  processes  of  teleological  and  causal  determination  such  as  internalization and exteriorization, individualization-socialization, personification-personalization, axiogenesis and  culture genesis, cyclic time and linear time, etc. as well as constructs of personal meaning and social significance,  protective mechanisms and coping strategies, ego-identity and narrative identity, mentality and narrative, terminal  and instrumental values, individual character and social role, the pursuit of personal happiness and professional  success, etc. were combined in harmoniously balanced integrity of coherent psychological mechanisms of personal  genesis. The considered epistemological modes of methodological triangulation can serve as a model for meta- analysis  and  further  hermeneutic  work  on  the  axiopsychological  reconstruction  of  various  personological  discourses not only in the sphere of fundamental science but also in the sphere of various experimental and applied  research.
ЩАСТЯ ЯК ОСОБИСТІСНА РЕАЛІЯ: ПЕРЕЖИВАННЯ, РЕФЛЕКСУВАННЯ, КОНСТРУЮВАННЯ
Authors: Титаренко Тетяна
Published: November 2018

У статті розглянуто результати проведеного на користувачах соціальних мереж емпіричного  дослідження щастя як особистісної реалії, що переживається, рефлексується, конструюється. Показано,  що багатовимірне семантичне поле щастя, домінантою якого є баланс, спокій, рівновага, поєднує певні  переживання та інтерпретації життєвих подій, що вступають у смислові відношення одне з одним. В  результаті   аналізу   способів   безпосереднього   переживання   щастя   (Я-чуттєве)   виділено   наступні  тематичні рубрики: гармонія (36,6%); радість (26,8%); любов (26,8%); життя (12,2%); самоприйняття  (9,8%), творчість (7,3%). В результаті аналізу способів усвідомлення змісту стану щастя (Я-рефлексивне)  виділено наступні тематичні рубрики: оптимісти (21,9%), люблячі (21,9%), творці (19,5%), Я (17,1%),  гармонійні (14,6%). Серед умов досягнення щастя найчастіше зустрічалися наступні тематичні рубрики:  любов, кохання (36,6%), спілкування (24, 4%), самореалізація (24,4%), розвиток (14,6%), Я і моє життя  (9,8%), подорожі (9,8%). Порівняння підходів до щастя з боку Я-чуттєвого та Я-рефлексивного засвідчило,  що перший конструюється з переживань спокою, радості, кохання, тоді як другий – з переконань про  значення   оптимізму,   любові   і   творчості   при   створенні   історії   життя.   Можна   вважати,   що  швидкоплинний стан щастя стає стійкою особистісною реалією, коли підходи чуттєвого і рефлексивного  Я синхронізуються

 The article examines the results of empirical research conducted on the social networks users upon the  happiness as a personal reality which can be experiential, reflexive, and constructive one. It is shown that a  multidimensional  semantic  field  of  happiness,  which  has  dominants  in  balance,  calmness,  and  equilibrium,  combines certain experiences and interpretations of life events by means of semantic relations with each other. As a  result of the direct experiencing of happiness analysis (I-sensual) the following thematic sections are highlighted:  harmony (36,6%); joy (26,8%); love (26.8%); life (12,2%); self-acceptance (9,8%), creativity (7,3%). As a result of  the ways to understand the state of happiness analysis (I-reflexive) the following thematic sections are highlighted:  optimists (21,9%), loving (21,9%), creators (19,5%), Me (17,1%), harmonious (14,6%). Among the approaches to  achieve the happiness the following thematic sections are met most often: love, dearness (36,6%), communication  (24,4%), self-realization (24,4%), development (14,6%), Me and my life (9,8%), travels (9,8%). The comparison of  the approaches to happiness from the I-sensual and the I-reflexive parts has shown that the first one is constructed  on experiences of peace, joy and love, while the second one is constructed on the beliefs about optimism, love and  creativity meaning in the life story creation. We can assume that the fleeting state of happiness becomes a stable  personal reality, when the approaches of sensual and reflexive I are synchronized.
Multiple Mechanisms Inactivate the LIN-41 RNA-Binding Protein To Ensure a Robust Oocyte-to-Embryo Transition in Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Spike Caroline A , Huelgas-Morales Gabriela , Tsukamoto Tatsuya , Greenstein David
Published: November 2018

In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the conserved LIN-41 RNA-binding protein is a translational repressor that coordinately controls oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. LIN-41 exerts these effects, at least in part, by preventing the premature activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK-1. Here we investigate the mechanism by which LIN-41 is rapidly eliminated upon the onset of meiotic maturation. Elimination of LIN-41 requires the activities of CDK-1 and multiple SCF (Skp1, Cul1, and F-box protein)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase subunits, including the conserved substrate adaptor protein SEL-10/Fbw7/Cdc4, suggesting that LIN-41 is a target of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation. Within the LIN-41 protein, two nonoverlapping regions, Deg-A and Deg-B, are individually necessary for LIN-41 degradation; both contain several potential phosphodegron sequences, and at least one of these sequences is required for LIN-41 degradation. Finally, Deg-A and Deg-B are sufficient, in combination, to mediate SEL-10-dependent degradation when transplanted into a different oocyte protein. Although LIN-41 is a potent inhibitor of protein translation and M phase entry, the failure to eliminate LIN-41 from early embryos does not result in the continued translational repression of LIN-41 oocyte messenger RNA targets. Based on these observations, we propose a model for the elimination of LIN-41 by the SEL-10 E3 ubiquitin ligase and suggest that LIN-41 is inactivated before it is degraded. Furthermore, we provide evidence that another RNA-binding protein, the GLD-1 tumor suppressor, is regulated similarly. Redundant mechanisms to extinguish translational repression by RNA-binding proteins may both control and provide robustness to irreversible developmental transitions, including meiotic maturation and the oocyte-to-embryo transition.

Published: November 2018

Las Plantas de Tratamiento de Agua (PTA) deben garantizar el suministro de agua segura; con este fin, se aplicaron herramientas de evaluación del riesgo para el desarrollo del Plan de Seguridad del Agua (PSA) en una PTA de Cali-Colombia que abastece 1.4 millones de habitantes. Para la identificación de peligros y valoración del riesgo, se usaron cuatro herramientas: análisis exploratorio de datos de turbiedad, visitas de inspección, matriz de peligros/eventos peligrosos y matriz semicuantitativa. En condiciones normales y extremas de turbiedad (>400 – 2500 UNT) se garantiza turbiedad del agua tratada de 0.39±0.15 UNT, mostrando la robustez de la PTA. El 60% de los 40 eventos peligrosos presentaron nivel de riesgo muy alto sin considerar medidas de control y se redujeron hasta 7% con medidas de control existentes. Los programas de mejoramiento o soporte se deben orientar hacia las fases del tratamiento identificadas como prioritarias (acondicionamiento químico, coagulación, floculación/clarificación y filtración).

Authors: Chica-Osorio Lina María , Beltrán-Montoya Juan Manuel
Published: November 2018

Los residuos de demolición y construcción (RCD), se han convertido en una problemática constante en el sector, debido a su volumen de producción y la falta de espacio para su disposición final. Para solucionar esta problemática se han propuesto diversas estrategias de gestión que consideran desde la disminución en la fuente hasta la reutilización como materia prima en la fabricación de diversos elementos. En este último aspecto, a nivel mundial, se han llevado a cabo esfuerzos por determinar el posible reúso de dichos residuos. Sin embargo, en muchos casos ese proceso parece ser inconsistente pues no se considera la naturaleza y propiedades del residuo como un condicional en la identificación de su posible reutilización. En este artículo, se presenta un ejemplo de aplicación de la identificación del potencial de reúso de residuos de demolición y construcción de la ciudad de Medellín, a partir de la determinación de las propiedades físicas, mineralógicas y energéticas, y del inventario específico de producción. Los resultados mostraron que, para el caso de estudio, los residuos con mayor potencial de uso para la reincorporación en la cadena productiva fueron los residuos de excavación y de mampostería de bloque, con los cuales, además, se probó un modelo de reutilización consistente en una placa suelo-cemento conformada por 95% de RCD.

El índigo carmín es uno de los componentes más contaminantes encontrados en los efluentes de la industria textil. Se exploró el desempeño del magnesio de alta pureza y la aleación AZ31 como ánodos de sacrificio en la electrocoagulación de soluciones de índigo carmín para la disminución de color y carbono orgánico disuelto (COD). Los experimentos se llevaron a cabo empleando un diseño factorial fraccionado a dos niveles con los siguientes factores: velocidad de agitación (cero y 840 rpm), temperatura (28 y 50 °C), concentración de colorante (100 y 300 mg/L) y densidad de corriente (20 y 50 A/m2). Como electrolito se utilizó NaCl y la magnitud de la carga eléctrica específica se mantuvo constante en 5,000 coulomb/litro (C/L). Se alcanzaron disminuciones cercanas al 99% en color y 84% en COD. Se evidenció que ambos materiales son competitivos en relación con la remoción de color y de COD alcanzadas.
Effectiveness analysis of the ITM environmental programs: saving and efficient use of electric energy and water, and comprehensive solid waste management. A case study
Authors: Aristizabal-Alzate Carlos Esteban , González Manosalva José Luís
Published: November 2018

Universities are complex organizations, so when implementing an EMS and adopting strategies, methodologies and programs they must involve the entire university system to minimize the negative impacts on the environment and, thus, lead the search for sustainable or carbon neutral organizations. Carbon Footprint was used as an indicator to measure the sustainability effectiveness of the environmental programs implemented and promoted by the EMS-ITM and how they mitigate the emission of GHGs. The calculation of this indicator was developed following ISO 14040-14044 and ISO 14064, for the ITM-Robledo campus and for the period 2015-2017. The results show the relevance and the reduction in the GHG emission levels achieved by the environmental programs studied, especially by the comprehensive solid waste management program, with which the highest levels of mitigation are achieved.
Fragment-oriented programming: a framework to design and implement software product line domain components
Authors: Correa Daniel , Mazo Raúl , Giraldo Goméz Gloria Lucia
Published: November 2018

Software product lines facilitate the industrialization of software development. The main goal is to create a set of reusable software components for the rapid production of a software systems family. Many authors have proposed different approaches to design and implement the components of a product line. However, the construction and integration of these components continue to be a complex and time-consuming process. This paper introduces Fragment-oriented programming (FragOP), a framework to design and implement software product line domain components, and derive software products. FragOP is based on: (i) domain components, (ii) fragmentations points and (iii)fragments. FragOP was implemented in the VariaMos tool and using it we created a clothing stores software product line. We derivedfive different products, integrating automatically thousands of lines of code. On average, only three lines of code were manually modified;which provided preliminary evidence that using FragOP reduces manual intervention when integrating domain components.
EVALUATION OF SOLAR ENERGY AND SELECTION OF OPTIMAL TILT ANGLE OF SOLAR PANELS FOR CONDITIONS IN SYRIA
Authors: Ramadan A. , Elistratov V. V.
Published: November 2018

The article suggests the method for calculating the solar radiation on a horizontal surface of the territory of Syria which has been developed using the weather database of NASA and ArcGIS software to create the atlases of Syria. In order to compute the solar radiation on an inclined surface for Syria, the following steps were taken. Firstly, the method proposed by Liu and Jordan (1962) and developed by Klein (1977) was used and applied at a point with a latitude of 33º and a longitude of 36º in Syria to calculate the total average daily monthly and yearly solar radiation on an inclined surface and its components (direct, diffuse and ground reflected). Secondly, the annual and monthly values of the optimal tilt angle of the solar panels were determined. Thirdly, verification of reliability and accuracy of calculations was carried out. Finally, using the interpolation method (inverse distance weighted IDW) in ArcGIS, the method proposed was applied to 63 points that covered the territory of Syria. Thus, we developed an Atlas of Syria of solar radiation on an inclined surface which characterized by the optimal tilt angles of solar panels and the maximum annual solar radiation on an inclined surface under these angles. Solar Radiation Atlas of Syria shows that the annual optimal tilt angle of the solar panels varies in the range from 23º to 28º and the maximum average annual solar radiation on an inclined surface under these angles varies in the range from 1859 to 2069 kWh/m2·year. In addition, on the basis of the NASA meteorological database, we determined the average total gross (natural) potential of solar energy on optimal inclined surfaces in Syria which is 362.1·103 TWh per year.
EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL STUDIES OF VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINES
Authors: Khozyainov B. P.
Published: November 2018

The article carries out the experimental and analytical studies of three-blade wind power installation and gives the technique for measurements of angular rate of wind turbine rotation depending on the wind speeds, the rotating moment and its power. We have made the comparison of the calculation results according to the formulas offered with the indicators of the wind turbine tests executed in natural conditions. The tests were carried out at wind speeds from 0.709 m/s to 6.427 m/s. The wind power efficiency (WPE) for ideal traditional installation is known to be 0.45. According to the analytical calculations, wind power efficiency of the wind turbine with 3-bladed and 6 wind guide screens at wind speedsfrom 0.709 to 6.427 is equal to 0.317, and in the range of speed from 0.709 to 4.5 m/s – 0.351, but the experimental coefficient is much higher. The analysis of WPE variations shows that the work with the wind guide screens at insignificant average air flow velocity during the set period of time appears to be more effective, than the work without them. If the air flow velocity increases, the wind power efficiency gradually decreases. Such a good fit between experimental data and analytical calculations is confirmed by comparison of F-test design criterion with its tabular values. In the design of wind turbines, it allows determining the wind turbine power, setting the geometrical parameters and mass of all details for their efficient performance.
THE WAYS TO ACHIEVE LEADERSHIP IN WIND ENERGY
Authors: Khozyainov B. P.
Published: November 2018

The article provides the analysis of performance efficiency of various designs of wind turbines with a horizontal and vertical axis of rotation and reveals the advantages and disadvantages of each design and possibility of each of them to work effectively in the conditions of the wind mode of Russia. As a result, we have concluded that the wind turbines with a vertical axis of rotation using the principle of the differential front resistance are most adapted for the further development of wind energy since these wind turbines are capable to work at very small wind speeds and are more adapted for further improvement. Moreover, we have made the recommendations for removal of disadvantages and development of advantages of these wind turbines. The article offers a number of patents which can regulate the angular speed of rotation of the wind turbine, the size of the rotating moment and, accordingly, its power depending on the natural wind speed. In particular, there is a patent for a design of the blade with varying dimensions depending on the air stream; the introduction of such device will increase the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade. The use of the wind guide screens allows us to start the wind turbine at wind speed from 0.5 m/s. It promotes the effective performance in the range of wind speed from 0.5 m/s to 4.5 m/s, and the wind guide screens regulate the air stream velocity in the wind turbine volume at speed from 4.5 m/s to 15.0 m/s. At gale-force winds, the wind guide screens are capable of cover the wind turbine preventing its destruction. The use of such wind turbines will positively affect the development of wind energy in Russia.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency may affect the clinical presentation of dengue due to the altered redox state in immune cells. We aimed to determine the association between G6PD deficiency and severity of dengue infection in paediatric patients in Myanmar. A cross-sectional study was conducted among paediatric patients aged 2–13 years with dengue in Yankin Children Hospital, Myanmar. One hundred and ninety-six patients positive for dengue infection, as determined via PCR or ELISA, were enrolled. Dengue severity was determined according to the 2009 WHO classification guidelines. Spectrophotometric assays determined G6PD levels. The adjusted median G6PD value of males in the study population was used to define various cut-off points according to the WHO classification guidelines. G6PD genotyping for Mahidol, Kaiping and Mediterranean mutations was done for 128 out of 196 samples by real-time multiplex PCR. 51 out 196 patients (26.0%) had severe dengue. The prevalence of G6PD phenotype deficiency (< 60% activity) in paediatric patients was 14.8% (29/196), specifically, 13.6% (14/103) in males and 16.2% (15/93) in females. Severe deficiency (< 10% activity) accounted for 7.1% (14/196) of our cohort, occurring 11.7% (12/103) in males and 2.2% (2/93) in females. Among 128 samples genotyped, the G6PD gene mutations were detected in 19.5% (25/128) of patients, with 20.3% (13/ 64) in males and 18.8% (12/64) in females. The G6PD Mahidol mutation was 96% (24/25) while the G6PD Kaiping mutation was 4% (1/25). Severe dengue was not associated with G6PD enzyme deficiency or presence of the G6PD gene mutation. Thus, no association between G6PD deficiency and dengue severity could be detected.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death throughout world population each and every year. Focus on dyslipidemia management is urgently required in India to halt the rising tide of CVD. The purpose of diabetic dyslipidemia study is a record based one, to find out the effect of Rosuvastatin plus Fenofibrate, in adult Type 2 diabetes with dyslipidemia, with high TGL/HDL ratio in Lipid profiles, in a tertiary care hospital in the Union territory of Puducherry.Methods: There were 101 patients hospital records were analysed in which male were 45 and females were 56. The various biochemical parameters like serum Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, TGL, Non-HDL, TCL/HDL Ratio and TGL/HDL ratio reports were collected before and after 12-weeks of Rosuvastatin 10 mg with Fenofibrate 145 mg combination, for the treatment period once daily for their lipid-lowering therapy.Results: The combination therapies of Rosuvastatin plus Fenofibrate were safe and feasible to achieve more TG goal and proved that has predominately decreased the elevated lipid profiles from the medical resources of our record based study. The use of combination medications of rosuvastatin (10mg) plus Fenofibrate (145mg) is often needed to effectively treat the lipid triad, by the potency of rosuvastatin to lower LDL-C and Fenofibrates effectiveness in lowering TG in treating mixed diabetic dyslipidemia.Conclusions: After Rosuvastatin (10mg) plus Fenofibrate (145mg), the lipid profile data proved that the importance of TGL/HDL ratio apart from the TCL/HDL ratio, for good lipid control in diabetic dyslipidemic patients.

Background: Studies suggesting that increasing carbohydrate intolerance among patients not meeting the criteria for the diagnosis of GDM by two step OGTT leads to an increased rate of unfavourable maternal and perinatal outcomes. Patients with abnormal GCT results but a normal OGTT are at increased risk, as are those with one abnormal OGTT value rather than the two required for diagnosis by ADA criteria. Single value of one step GTT is enough to diagnose GDM and to improve the maternal and perinatal complications. The objective is to compare the efficacy of one step OGTT with two step OGTT in screening and diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods: Hospital based analytical cross-sectional study which was conducted for 1 year among all pregnant women booked at government medical college, Alappuzha. They were subjected to detect GDM by 2 methods at 24-28 weeks.Results: 2521 pregnant women were subjected for study, among them who were either 75 gm GTT or 50 gm GCT or both positive (332 pregnant women) were analyzed. 232 women (69.88%) were diagnosed as having gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by single step 75 gm GTT. Sensitivity of single step GTT was 92.4% and a false negative rate of the same was 7.6%.  False negative rate for 50 gm GCT was 35.2%.Conclusions: Present study concluded that this one step procedure is feasible in terms of better detection rates, saving time, limiting cost on repeated visits to health centre and reducing repeated invasive sampling. Single step GTT will be used both as a screening and a diagnostic procedure for detecting GDM.

Published: November 2018

Background: The double-J (DJ) ureteral stents is most commonly used urological procedure and is associated with complications. This study was done to analyse the complications of ureteral DJ stents, modalities of management and outcomes.Methods: The present study is a prospective observational study of patients who presented with DJ stent related complications between February 2016 and November 2017. Patients were evaluated by history, examination, urine analysis, cultures, KUB ultrasonography, abdominal roentgenogram, CT-KUB, intravenous urogram and DTPA renogram. Complications like fever, hematuria and irritable bladder symptoms were managed conservatively. Patients with stent migration underwent endoscopic removal. Combined endourological procedures were performed in single or staged manner in cases with retained DJS with encrustation.Results: Total 120 patients presented with DJ stent complications during the study period. Males were 63.3% and females 36.7%. The mean age was 31.5 years. The majority 65.33% of the stents were placed for postsurgical prophylaxis. Irritable bladder symptoms 42.5% was most common complication, followed by retained stent with encrustation 17.5%, fever 15.9%, hematuria 13.3%, stent migration 5.8% and retained sent with minimal and no encrustation 5%. Stent removal was done in 47 (39.16%) patients; all patients with retained stent, stent migration, 5 (26.3%) patients with fever and 8 (15.6%) patients with irritable bladder symptoms. Common site of encrustation was bladder alone and kidney with bladder in 5 (23.80%) patients each. The mean stent indwelling time was 3.2 years. Twenty-one (17.5%) patients required combined endourological procedures such as cystolithotripsy (CLT), ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with intracorporal lithotripsy. One (4.76%) patient required nephrectomy.Conclusions: Double-J stent is an important tool to prevent and relieve obstruction. Their use must be strictly restricted to selected cases with proper documentation, counseling and close tracking. Encrustation in forgotten stents should be managed with stent removal with combined endourologic techniques.
Role of pre-treatment neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio as a diagnostic marker of malignancy in breast carcinoma patients: a study in a tertiary care centre
Authors: Srivastava Shruti , Indoria Chandrashekhar
Published: November 2018

Background: Inflammation is closely associated with cancer. Inflammation maintains and promotes cancer growth by causing tumor tissue remodelling and angiogenesis. It also helps in metastasis and helps tumor cells to survive by suppressing anti-cancer innate immune response. Recent studies have suggested use of Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for evaluation of systemic inflammation. Present study was undertaken with an aim to compare NLR among patients with malignant breast neoplasm with and without metastasis.Methods: This was a cross sectional observational study comprising of 179 women with breast neoplasm. Patients were categorized into two subgroups of benign proliferative breast mass and malignant breast mass (with or without metastasis). Data was collected from pre intervention complete blood count reports of all patients. To obtain NLR values neutrophil count were divided by lymphocyte counts. A comparison of NLR values in different subgroups of the patients was performed.Results: Mean neutrophil values in benign and malignant subgroups were 64.02±7.9 and 70.75±9.2 respectively. Mean lymphocyte count in benign and malignant subgroups was 27.527±7.565 and 20.220±7.354 respectively. Difference in mean values for neutrophils and lymphocytes was not significant in benign and malignant subgroups. Significant difference was present in values of NLR among benign and malignant subgroups, but within malignant subgroup no significant difference was present among patients with or without metastasis.Conclusions: Present study findings supported that pre-intervention Neutrophil Lymphocyte ratio is a promising biomarker of malignancy.

Background: Good nutrition, particularly in the first three years of life, is important in establishing and maintaining a good foundation that has implications on a child’s future physical and mental health. The present study has been undertaken to study the “Impact of the nutritional and immunization services on the children between 6 months to 3 years,” with special emphasis to identify moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) cases.Methods: This observational study was conducted from August 2017 to July 2018 in department of paediatrics at pacific institute of medical science included 400 cases age between 6 months to 3 years.Results: Incidence of SAM and MAM is 7.5% and 30.75 % respectively. Female predominance was seen in SAM and MAM i.e. 53.4% and 54.6% respectively. Significant association of under-nutrition was found with LBW (p<0.05), not giving exclusive breast feeding up to 6 months of life (p<0.05) and, Low socioeconomic status (p<0.001). Higher numbers of females were unvaccinated.Conclusions: Despite introduction of various national programs at different levels for improvement of maternal and child health, we still have significant number of children who are undernourished and unimmunized. Children are future of our nation and their health is of paramount importance. It can only be achieved with strong political will, active participation of community and by increase commitment of health care professionals. We need to start from birth, institutional delivery, exclusive breast feeding, immunization, and timely introduction of complementary feeds, marriages at appropriate age, proper antenatal visits and birth spacing.
The Material Culture of Parliament. A case study of the Dutch Second Chamber, 1945–2000
Authors: Hoetink Carla , Kaal Harm
Published: November 2018

If parliament is anything, it is an institution where speech acts define politics. It should therefore come as no surprise that political historians have devoted most of their attention to parliamentary debate and decision- making, whereas the materiality of parliamentary debate has only recently entered their purview. Building on these recent approaches, this article offers an analysis of the material culture of the Dutch parliament in the post-war years. Three angles of materiality are explored: the building in which the Second Chamber houses; the objects present in plenary hall; and finally, the objects used as ‘props’ in parliamentary performances. Through the use of the notion of ‘performances’ or ‘practices’ of speaking, debating and acting in parliament, the aim is to acquire a better grasp of how these ‘things’ have impinged on political communication.

Published: November 2018

The present experimental study aims at characterizing the mixing characteristics of subsonic elliptic and rectangular orifice jets (Ve = 51 m/s) in the presence of wall of different surface roughness, namely smooth, fine and coarse, placed parallel to the jet axis at the edge of the orifice exit. The wall of length 120 cm of different surface roughness was oriented either parallel to the minor axis plane or major axis plane if the orifice. The wall had a strong effect on the mixing characteristics of elliptic and rectangular jets. The centerline velocity measurement showed that the potential core of elliptic and rectangular orifice jets was around 3De and 3.5De. For both jets, all the wall configurations retarded the mixing of jet with the ambient fluid only in the characteristic decay zone but not in the core and fully developed zones. The level of mixing retardation was found to be maximum when wall was placed parallel to the major axis plane of the jet. The effect of wall on jet mixing was intense for rectangular jet compared to elliptic jet.
