Evaluation of Infiltrometers and Permeameters for Measuring Hydraulic Conductivity
Authors: Ghosh Biplab , Pekkat Sreeja , Yamsani Sudheer Kumar
Published: May 2019

Soil hydraulic conductivity is a mandatory input for determining water and solute transport through soils. There are several well-established infiltrometers and permeameters for measuring in situ hydraulic conductivity. Infiltrometers measure hydraulic conductivity based on water entry into an unsaturated soil at the soil-atmosphere boundary, whereas permeameters measure the flow of water from one point to another within the soil mass. This difference in measurement philosophy, along with the methods of analysis involved in the measurement, may result in varying estimates of in situ hydraulic conductivity. This study performs an evaluation among three infiltrometers (double ring infiltrometer [DRI] and two disc infiltrometers) and two permeameters (Guelph permeameter [GP] and laboratory permeameter) for measuring hydraulic conductivity. The primary objective of this study is to appraise the variability in the measurement of in situ hydraulic conductivity for identical field conditions using different infiltrometers and permeameters. The study indicated that all the permeameters and infiltrometers exhibited reasonably good repeatability in measurements. Unlike infiltrometers, the hydraulic conductivity determined from permeameters was found to exhibit similar values for two different seasons. Infiltrometers were found to be highly sensitive to alteration in the surface pore structure due to the soil-atmosphere interaction. The statistical evaluation indicated a negative bias of disc infiltrometers when compared with DRI, whereas the comparison of disc infiltrometers has shown a bias close to zero. The results of the GP closely compared with laboratory permeameter. Both the disc infiltrometers exhibited a negative bias and weak correlation with GP measurements. In the absence of parity between infiltrometer and permeameter, the former may be a better choice for including the effect of soil surface alteration on hydrological modeling, whereas the latter can be handy for modeling water redistribution within the soil mass.
Investigation of Cracking Performance of Asphalt-Rubber Gap-Graded Mixtures: Statistical Overview on Materials’ Interface
Authors: Venudharan Veena , Biligiri Krishna Prapoorna
Published: May 2019

This study investigated the cracking mechanism of Asphalt-Rubber Gap-graded (AR-Gap) mixtures with various material properties. The research focused on using a monotonic semicircular bending (SCB) test to estimate the cracking potential of AR-Gap mixtures at 0°C and 25°C. A total of 28 asphalt mixtures, including 27 AR-Gap mixtures and 1 conventional dense-graded (DG) mix, covering over 220 data points were utilized for evaluation. The outcome parameter, fracture toughness, KIC, calculated from the SCB test was used to compare and contrast the mixtures’ resistance to cracking at low and intermediate temperatures. At both test temperatures, the results indicated that AR-Gap mixtures have higher fracture resistance (~60 %) than the DG mix. Furthermore, statistical analyses confirmed that asphalt binder type, aggregate gradation, and binder content had significant effects on cracking performance. Aggregate gradation had a more pronounced effect on cracking performance than binder type, followed by binder content. In addition, a KIC predictive model was developed that had excellent statistical goodness-of-fit measures (R2 ≥ 90 %), which can be conveniently utilized in case of unavailability of the test setup. Overall, the findings revealed superior performance characteristics of AR-Gap mixtures that had high potential to resist cracking. Based on the various outcomes, the study was able to recommend aggregate gradation, binder type, and binder content as the parameters that would exhibit higher resistance against cracking failure. It is envisaged that this research would further the state of the art in designing crack-resistant asphalt mixtures.

Authors: Ramos-Galicia Lourdes , Perez-Ramirez Eduardo E. , Fuentes-Ramirez Rosalba , Martinez-Hernandez Ana Laura , Velasco-Santos Carlos
Published: May 2019

The mechanical, electrical, thermomechanical, and thermal properties of a thermoset matrix reinforced with pristine carbon nanotubes (1-D) and reduced graphene oxide (2-D) have been evaluated. Epoxy resin was reinforced with 1-D and 2-D nanomaterials in a wide range of load for a detailed study: 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, and 1.0 wt. %. It is observed that carbon nanomaterials’ dimensionality influences its ability to transfer their unique properties to the nanocomposites. In this work, carbon nanotubes are more suitable than reduced graphene oxide to improve some properties, even though graphene-related materials have outperformed 1-D nanomaterials in other research. Tensile tests of nanocomposites show the best increment, with loads of 0.7 and 0.1 wt. % carbon nanotubes and reduced graphene oxide, respectively. Tensile strength at these loads is ∼120 % higher than epoxy resin, but the load for obtaining the best mechanical performance is different for each nanomaterial. Electrical conductivity measurements show that 1-D nanostructures are able to form conductive paths better than nanosheets. In this work, carbon nanotubes yield up to three magnitude orders higher than reduced graphene oxide. The highest initial storage modulus is achieved by employing 1-D nanomaterials and contributes to improving the thermomechanical stability. Therefore, the dimensionality of carbon nanomaterials impacts the properties of nanocomposites, and each nanostructure is able to improve the matrix at different regions of the load.

Published: May 2019

The recent conceptualization of psychopathy as a dimensional construct has given rise to the need for validated instruments for use in nonclinical populations. The Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (SRP-III) is a questionnaire widely used to evaluate psychopathic traits in clinical and nonclinical samples in the English-speaking population. Using a community sample, the authors aimed to adapt and validate, to the Spanish language, the SRP-III based on the English short-form version by Mahmut, Menictas, Stevenson, and Homewood (2011). The SRP-III was administered to 1,938 participants. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the four-factor model satisfactorily fits the data. Internal consistency and test–retest reliability were adequate for the total score and its four facets. The SRP-III also showed good construct validity as measured through its relationship with personality, depression, empathy, machiavellianism, and narcissism. These results suggest that the Spanish version of the 34-item SRP-III is an adequate measurement of psychopathic traits.

Published: May 2019

Research has shown differences in the characteristics of suicidal behavior in individuals with dependent (anaclitic) versus self-critical (introjective) personality styles. Questions remain, however, as to what factors distinguish suicidal from nonsuicidal individuals within each personality style. The current study examined clinical and interpersonal correlates of suicidality in 124 patients attending residential treatment for complex psychiatric disorders, with the aim of clarifying how social cognition and quality of internalized object representations relate to suicidality in individuals with anaclitic versus introjective personality organizations. Higher anaclitic and lower introjective traits each predicted higher frequency of prior attempts. Furthermore, higher anaclitic and lower introjective traits interacted with the affective-interpersonal quality of object representations to predict prior attempts, such that each trait was associated with more frequent past attempts in the context of poorer quality of object relations. The treatment implications of these findings are discussed, and areas for future research are considered.
Atypical parathyroid adenomas: challenging lesions in the differential diagnosis of endocrine tumors
Authors: Cetani Filomena , Marcocci Claudio , Torregrossa Liborio , Pardi Elena
Published: May 2019

Atypical parathyroid adenomas represent a group of intermediate form of parathyroid neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential which show some atypical histological features that represent a challenge for the differential diagnosis with parathyroid carcinomas. They may occur as sporadic or as a part of hereditary syndromes. The molecular signature of these neoplasms is still unknown and the germline CDC73 mutations appears to be the most common anomaly in this setting suggesting that these cases might represent variants of the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome. The identification of markers predicting the outcome is of great importance to guide an adequate postoperative monitoring and, the same time, relieve of the anxiety of relatively strict monitoring patients not at risk. This review will summarize the current knowledge of the clinical, biochemical, molecular and histological profile of atypical parathyroid adenomas.

Authors: Samalavičius Narimantas Evaldas , Deduchovas Olegas
Published: May 2019

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]

Until recently, robotic surgery has been associated only with da Vinci robotic system. A novel Senhance® robotic system (TransEnterix Surgical Inc., Morrisville, NC, USA) has been introduced almost 5 years ago. Published reports on experience in colorectal surgery using this robotic platform is very limited. We present a prospective analysis of first 13 robotic colorectal surgeries in Klaipėda University Hospital, Klaipėda, Lithuania. 13 patients underwent various colorectal resections: 10 for colorectal cancer and 3 for colonic polyps. 7 were men and 6 women, age range 32–77 years, on an average 56 years. Among 10 patients with colorectal cancer, 3 had stage I, 3 stage II, 3 stage III and 1 stage IV colorectal cancer. 2 patients were operated for unremovable ascending colon adenomas and 1 underwent prophylactic subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomisis for familial adenomatous polyposis. Complication occurred in 1 case (7.7%). This patient underwent robotic abdominoperineal resection for low rectal cancer, developed postoperative bleeding from perineal wound on day 7 and had to be taken to operative room for oversuturing the bleeding vessel. Operative time was on an average 3 hours 50 minutes, ranging from 2 hours and 55 minutes to 6 hours and 10 minutes. In-hospital stay ranged from 5 to 16 days, on an average 7 days.

Conclusion. Our experience with different types of robotic colorectal resections allows us to state that Senhance® robotic system is feasible and safe for colorectal surgery, and wider implementation of this system in our specialty worldwide is simply a question of time.

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]

In this retrospective study we report the first series of robotic cholecystectomies in Baltic countries. From Nov 2018 to Feb 2019, 13 robotic cholecystectomies were performed in Klaipėda University Hospital using the Senhance (TransEnterix) robotic system. Patients were diagnosed with symptomatic gallstone disease and had no life-threatening co-morbidities. We retrospectively investigated patient demographics and pre-, peri- and postoperative data. Five male and eight female patients were included in this study (n = 13). Mean age was 46 years (range 26–72); mean BMI was 26.7 kg/m² (range 21.1–37.7). Mean docking time was 18 min (range 8–27), and mean operative time was 85 min (range, 70–150). There were no conversions to standard laparoscopy or open surgery. There were no intra-operative complications. There was one post-operative bleeding from the gallbladder bed and subhepatic hematoma, successfully treated by laparoscopy. This study demonstrates the feasibility of robotic surgery in performing minimally invasive cholecystectomies.
Latent semantic indexing (LSI) and its impact on copywriting
Authors: Blynova N.
Published: May 2019

Latent semantic indexing (LSI) is becoming more and more popular in copywriting, gradually replacing texts written on the principles of SEO. LSI was called in the 2010s, when popular search engines switched to a qualitatively new way of ranking materials and sites. The difference between SEO and LSI ways of creation lies in the fact that search engines rank SEO materials by keywords, while LSI are ranked how fully the topic is covered and how useful the article will be to the reader. Consequently, in addition to keywords and phrases, the associative core is involved here. Materials written for people have replaced the texts created for the search engine. The article describes the algorithm for creation of the associative and thematic core, the ways in which this can be done. The basic steps helping to create an LSI text are also shown.The author underlines that due to the specificity of the presentation of a significant amount of information and the maximum expertise in the disclosure of the topic, text writers accustomed to working on the principles of SEO have to learn to write within a new paradigm. The owners of the websites that host articles created by LSI principles have discovered the advantages of this way of presenting information, since their resources have become better indexed and take the leading positions in search results. Such algorithms as “Baden-Baden”, “Korolev” and “Panda” have positively influenced the Internet environment as a whole, since re-optimized texts, which were filled with keys and were of little use to the reader, now have turned out to be on the last positions of issue. The new method of ranking according to the LSI method allows specialists to create the texts that are not only useful and expert but also differ in lexical richness, using expressive and figurative means of the language, which could not be assumed in SEO materials.It is highlighted in the article the use of neural networks should bring the way of presenting information to the consumer’s needs even more, inventing techniques that will allow leading materials created in an ordinary language to lead the positions without the need to incorporate key phrases into the text. We believe that the LSI-method, which has perfectly manifested itself in copywriting, is capable of unlocking the potential of the media texts, which are now being written on the principles of SEO.
Media reception of PR activities in the discourse of British and Ukrainian quality newspapers: comparative analysis
Authors: Garkavenko Y.
Published: May 2019

The article is dedicated to the study of the recent changes that are currently taking place in the field of public relations and the transformation of the interaction process of the PR Institute with the media. The actuality of the work can be explained by the fact that the main world trends of the functioning of PR at the present stage are examined and this experience is extrapolated to Ukrainian realities. And considering the fact that the process of integration into the world economic and cultural space is crucial for our country, the development of the public relations field in all spheres of the country's activity and the coordinated mechanism of interaction with the media system are a priority. The main features of the development of public relations under the influence of modern technologies and in the conditions of new media were determined, the analysis of changes in PR-manager’s profile was made. The use of the content analysis method in the process of investigation of high quality British and Ukrainian newspapers has revealed the most common stereotypes of public relations as an area and profession in Britain and Ukraine. The novelty of the study is to apply comparative practices, which on the base of the distinguished stereotypes allowed to demonstrate some differences in the modality of media representations made by foreign and domestic media outlets as social and communication technology. It has been proved that the media reception of the public relations specialist`s professional activity is mostly negative in color, due to the pragmatic orientations of the industry. However, in the British media, the trend towards the image of PR as the “agent of change”, especially social ones, is highlighted, high level of work of specialists is emphasized. Instead, in Ukrainian high-quality mass media, public relations continue to be viewed as a kind of manipulative technology or just a publicity tool.
Editor’s in traditional and online media
Authors: Terkhanova O.
Published: May 2019

The editor functions in traditional and online media are considered. In the duties of editors who work there, there is a number of common and different features.In online and traditional media, it is the editor who directs all editorial processes: examines the needs of the consumer of information, builds up the agenda and the general policy of the publication in accordance with them. In addition, the editor prepares materials for publication, gives the authors recommendations for improving the conceptual and linguistic aspects of the articles; monitors the compliance of the materials with regulatory requirements, the format of the publication, its ideological orientation.As in the traditional and online editions, the editor checks the spelling of the cited numerical data and quotations, the writing and use of scientific and technical terms, names, units of measurement, the correspondence of symbols; determines the form of the material feed.The editors of traditional and network media are responsible for the timely provision of information, the observance of the publication schedule, and the coordination of the actions of all the employees. In any media the editor is the author’s assistant. In fact, composition and presentation style are also the subject of editor’s close attention.However, the transition to the online format has put forward additional requirements for all employees of mass communication activities. The terms of reference for the network media editor have considerably expanded. Now the content should be updated around the clock and seven days a week. It should be done according to the requirements of the audience.The transprofessionalism of the online media editor has become common. Such specialist has the knowledge and skills that traditional media have inherent to journalists and managers. Considering that the web resources have absorbed the characteristics of various media formats, the editor has to think in terms of hypertextuality, super-operativeness, multimedia, focus on individual user requests.All this puts forward new requirements for the preparation of editorial staff in specialized universities.
Biological values of cultivated mushrooms — A review
Authors: Vetter J.
Published: May 2019

Cultivated mushrooms are not only valuable foods of our age (functional foods) but contain certain beneficial chemical components (high level of K and P, very low content of Na, considerable quantities of some microelements, high and valuable protein but low fat contents). Some cultivated mushrooms have anti-carcinogenic effects caused first of all by polysaccharides (Lentinan: Lentinula edodes) and by triterpenoids (ganoderic acids: Ganoderma lucidum or unsaturated fatty acids: linoleic, linolenic acids); antidiabetic effects, which can improve the sugar metabolism of patients (Coprinus comatus, Ganoderma lucidum, Agaricus bisporus); anti-microbial effects, caused partly by smaller triterpenoids or by higher molecules, i.e. by direct or indirect effects: via stimulation of the immune system. Certain mushrooms have antioxidant effects, provided mostly by higher radical scavenging activity of phenolic (flavonoid) components. The chemical composition and its biological effects form together the biological values of the cultivated mushrooms.

The following review would like to summarize the most important facts of this topic.
Bioactive properties and antioxidant capacity of oils extracted from citrus fruit seeds
Authors: Silva A.C. , Jorge N.
Published: May 2019

This study aimed at identifying the presence of bioactive compounds and evaluating the antioxidant capacity of oils extracted from citron, kinkan, and orange. Therefore, determination of fatty acid profile, tocopherol and phytosterol composition, phenolic compounds, and total carotenoids was performed in the oils extracted from seeds. To determine the antioxidant capacity, the tests DPPH˙, ABTS˙+, FRAP, β-carotene/linoleic acid, and oxidative stability were performed. The citrus fruit seeds presented high lipid level, with predominance of unsaturated fatty acids, especially linolenic essential fatty acid, with 7.9 and 8.5% in citron and kinkan seed oils, respectively. The presence of tocopherols and phytosterols induced a higher antioxidant capacity on the oils analysed. The collected information might help new alternative sources of vegetable oils obtained from agroindustrial waste to serve as raw material for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
\(\mathcal{O}(\alpha^3)\) ISR Corrections to Single Higgs Productions at Future Lepton Colliders
Authors: Khiem Phan Hong , Dzung Tran Tri
Published: May 2019

In this paper, we present \(\mathcal{O}(\alpha^3)\) QED corrections due to initial-state photon radiation (ISR) to processes \(e^{−} e^{+} \to f \bar{f} H\) with \(f = e, \mu_e, \nu_{\mu}, \nu_{\tau}\) at future lepton colliders. The impact of the ISR corrections on the total cross sections are studied. We find that the corrections vary from ∼ −30% to −10% in the range of center-of-mass energies from 200 GeV to 700 GeV. The ISR corrections to some realistic distributions of experimental interest for searching the properties of the Higgs boson are also evaluated and they are order of \(\sim −10\)% contributions at \(s = 250\) GeV. The corrections are massive contributions and they must be taken into account for matching high precision data at future lepton colliders.
No Small Hairs in Anisotropic Power-law Gauss-Bonnet Inflation
Authors: Do Tuan Quoc , Nguyen Sonnet Hung Q.
Published: May 2019

We will examine whether anisotropic hairs exist in a string-inspired scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity model with the absence of potential of scalar field during the inflationary phase. As a result, we are able to obtain the Bianchi type I power-law solution to this model under the assumption that the scalar field acts as the phantom field, whose kinetic is negative definite. However, the obtained anisotropic hair of this model turns out to be large, which is inconsistent with the observational data. We will therefore introduce a nontrivial coupling between scalar and vector fields such as \(f^2(\phi)F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}\) into the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet model with the expectation that the anisotropic hair would be reduced to a small one. Unfortunately, the magnitude of the obtained anisotropic hair is still large. These results indicate that the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity model with the absence of potential of scalar field might not be suitable to generate small anisotropic hairs during the inflationary phase.

Герберт Спенсер – забытый отец теории демографического перехода
Authors: Вишневский Анатолий Григорьевич
Published: May 2019

Считается, что центральная идея современной теории демографического перехода как перехода от равновесия высоких к равновесию низких смертности и рождаемости была сформирована и стала общепризнанной в середине ХХ века. В статье показано, что эта идея была высказана и развита Гербертом Спенсером на сто лет раньше, хотя современные теоретики демографического перехода никогда не ссылаются на него как на своего предшественника.

Восстановление подлинной родословной теории демографического перехода – важная, но не единственная цель статьи. Ее главная задача привлечь аргументацию Спенсера к современным дебатам о настоящем и будущем низкой рождаемости, исходя из предпосылки, что эта аргументация не только не стала историческим раритетом, но и сегодня во многом опережает время. Главное внимание уделено различиям в понимании фундаментальных причин снижения рождаемости. В статье не отрицаются заблуждения Спенсера в понимании механизма снижения рождаемости в человеческом обществе, но что касается причин этого снижения, то, по мнению автора статьи, более высокий уровень обобщения, свойственный научному мировоззрению Спенсера, предопределил понимание этих причин, более глубокое, чем то, которое развивается современными демографами-теоретиками.
Гендерный дисбаланс сельского населения России (РСФСР) в годы Второй мировой войны (1939–1945 гг.)
Authors: Исупов Владимир Анатольевич
Published: May 2019

В статье представлены результаты изучения одной из важнейших проблем демографической истории России ХХ столетия. Автор поставил перед собой задачу раскрыть такое недостаточно полно исследованное явление в демографической истории России, как процесс формирования гендерного дисбаланса в сельском населении страны в 1939–1945 гг. В статье подчеркивается, что во Вторую мировую войну наша страна вступила с уже нарушенным соотношением полов. Но после 1941 г. гендерная асимметрия обострилась до крайних пределов. Учитывается также, что возрастные составляющие демографической катастрофы периода войны тесно коррелируют с изменениями гендерной структуры населения. Все выводы, сделанные в статье, опираются на широкий круг источников, некоторые из них впервые вводятся в научный оборот. К ним относятся данные похозяйственного учета сельских советов за 1943 и 1945 гг., списки избирателей, составленные к выборам депутатов Верховного Совета СССР 10 февраля 1946 г. В качестве важного источника информации привлечены также материалы Всесоюзной переписи населения 1939 г. В статье определяется соотношение половозрастных групп в сельском населении тыловых районов России в начале (1939 г.), середине (1943 г.) и конце (1945 г.) Второй мировой войны. На этой основе вскрыта динамика изменений половозрастной структуры сельского населения России. В основе обострения гендерного дисбаланса, как показано в статье, лежат главным образом воинские мобилизации мужской части населения в армию и гибель мужчин в ходе боевых действий.
Особенности динамики и компоненты снижения смертности в Москве в 1989-2017 гг.
Authors: Папанова Елена Константиновна , Школьников Владимир Михайлович , Тимонин Сергей Андреевич
Published: May 2019

Москва – регион с самой высокой ожидаемой продолжительностью жизни в России. Это крупнейший город страны с высокими доходами, особой структурой населения, высокой концентрацией всех ресурсов, в том числе в сфере здравоохранения, которому уделяется особое внимание на уровне городских властей. Отдельные этапы изменения продолжительности жизни в Москве уникальны по сравнению с большинством других регионов России. Разница в продолжительности жизни между Москвой и Россией в период с середины 1990-х до середины 2000-х годов была обусловлена главным образом более низкой смертностью населения в средних возрастах. Впоследствии главный акцент смещается на смертность пожилого населения. При положительной динамике показателей смертности в целом уровень и динамика смертности в отдельных возрастных группах в Москве выглядят неправдоподобно. Качество данных может оказывать заметное влияние на достоверность демографических показателей и требует отдельного внимания при анализе продолжительности жизни. В частности, численность пожилого населения Москвы может быть завышена, что влияет на показатели смертности в старших возрастах. Особенности смертности по причинам смерти в Москве в целом соответствуют среднероссийским тенденциям, однако наблюдается более быстрое снижение смертности от новообразований, а также более реалистичные возрастные коэффициенты смертности в старших возрастных группах.

El tipo de investigación fue deductivo, el diseño fue descriptivo correlacional, porque se recogió información referente a cómo gestiona su cuidado la enfermera en uno de los tantos procedimientos que realiza, tal como la ventilación mecánica, que por ser una técnica invasiva y de riesgo requiere conocimiento, aptitud, actitud, valores y buen juicio en su profesión para lograr una atención oportuna y adecuada, es decir, de calidad. La población incluyó a personal profesional de enfermería de cada servicio correspondiente a las áreas críticas en un total de 80 enfermeras, incluyendo como muestra el 100 %. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó dos instrumentos. Un cuestionario que mide el efecto de la gestión de las enfermeras en los pacientes con ventilación mecánica con un total de 30 ítems y el segundo fue una lista de cotejos referente a la calidad del cuidado de enfermería con un total de 25 ítems. Para la confiabilidad se aplicó una prueba piloto a diez enfermeras del Hospital Belén, en los servicios de emergencia y UCI, ya que tienen similares características al estudio, obteniéndose un coeficiente alpha de Cronbach de 0.841 y de 0.811 respectivamente. Además, se encontró que, del total de 80 enfermeras, un 25 % hace una gestión eficiente del cuidado y un 75 % como deficiente. En la variable calidad de atención en ventilación mecánica, esta fue buena en un 55% y mala en un 45% en las enfermeras. Así mismo, al relacionar la gestión del cuidado de enfermería con la calidad de atención en pacientes con ventilación mecánica se encontró que cuando la gestión del cuidado es eficiente (20 enfermeras), la calidad de atención es buena en un 80.0% (16 enfermeras). Por otro lado, cuando la gestión del cuidado es deficiente (60 enfermeras), la calidad de atención es mala un 55% (33 enfermeras). Es así que al aplicar la prueba Chi cuadrado se encontró relación estadística significativa entre ambas variables (p < 0.05). El estudio concluyó que existe relación directa entre la gestión del cuidado de enfermería con la calidad de atención de pacientes en ventilación mecánica en las áreas críticas del Hospital Víctor Lazarte Echegaray. Así mismo, se encontró que en la gestión del cuidado aún existe deficiencia en un 75% debido a que el servicio de emergencia, dentro de las áreas críticas, carece de una adecuada organización o gestión y tiene un mayor número de recurso humano. La calidad de atención de enfermería en las áreas críticas fue de un nivel bueno (55% de las enfermeras).

Information sharing systems are often viewed as a potential way of increasing scrutiny by actors of their interactions with natural resources. Scrutiny is then seen as encouraging sustainable and adaptable management of the resource. We tackle this claim by using an agent-based model to focus on the specific issue of oyster farmers dealing with the deadly OsHV-1 virus by sharing information about their own experience (practices and outcomes) via their social network and/or an information sharing system. We followed closely what access to such information sharing means for the environment (production), agents (beliefs) and interactions between the environment and agents (practices). In the model, introducing information sharing leads to a decrease in mortality rates and a convergence in agents’ beliefs. Agents stop changing their practices earlier when they share information, but heterogeneity in agent decision-making models leads to wider exploration of possible strategies and increased production. Agent-based modelling proved a suitable method for studying the impacts of information sharing.

Background: Obesity is the major cause of various non-communicable diseases including diabetes mellitus, hypertension. The modifiable factors like stress, sedentary life, consumption of soft drinks and fast foods and lack of physical activity are responsible for it. Objective: to find dietary pattern, physical activity and status of overweight and obesity among medical students.Methods: It was a cross sectional observational study conducted on MBBS undergraduates studying in a g medical college at Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh, India. Out of nearly 500 medical students studying in different semesters, 300 students were participated in the study though the required sample size was 184 only. Structured questionnaire for interview, calibrated portable weight scale for weight measurement and stadiometer for height measurement were used.Results: The students were categorised into underweight, normal and overweight/obese on the basis of their calculated BMI (body mass index) value as per norms of World health organization for south Asian populations. 26.7% medical students were found to be overweight or obese based on BMI cut off value 23.00 kg/m2. There was lack of inclusion of fresh fruits and green vegetables in regular diet in 50% and nearly 95% of medical students respectively. The low level of physical activity was found in more than 85% of the medical students.Conclusions: The involvement of medical students in physical and sports activities is dire need for their good health.
A randomised open label comparative study evaluating the effectiveness, adherence and safety between 2% mupirocin ointment and 2% fusidic acid cream in children with impetigo

Background: Impetigo is a superficial bacterial skin infection that affects mainly children, which is highly contagious. Topical anti-bacterials are most commonly used in both primary and secondary impetigo. Clinical trials have shown high efficacy of these topicals along with systemic antibiotics in both complicated and uncomplicated impetigo. However use of these topical modalities alone in uncomplicated primary impetigo is limited. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy, safety and adherence to treatment of mupirocin with fusidic acid in primary impetigo.

Methods: A total of 60 patients with a clinical diagnosis of primary impetigo, between 2-14 years of age, having <10 lesions, skin infection rating score >4 and pus score equal to or more than one who attended Dermatology OPD, in Chengalpattu Medical College Hospital from February 2018 to March 2019. Study design was a comparative analytical study.

Results: Baseline disease characteristics such as number of lesions, the severity of disease (SIRS), and pus scores were statistically similar between the two groups. The clinical improvement observed with mupirocin (25/30) and fusidic acid (24/30) treatment in primary impetigo was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Both drugs were tolerated well.

Conclusions: Both mupirocin and fusidic acid showed similar clinical success in patients with primary impetigo. Though fusidic acid has additional anti-inflammatory property and its treatment is cost effective, but irritant effects observed in some patients, which reduces the compliance, lead to consider mupirocin as first line treatment in primary impetigo. 
CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE HANNAH ARENDT PARA A REFLEXÃO SOBRE VIOLÊNCIAS NA ESCOLA
Authors: Monteiro Michelle Popenga Geraim , Lima Tatiane Delurdes de , Asinelli-Luz Araci
Published: May 2019

o artigo tem por objetivo refletir, a partir das contribuições de Hannah Arendt, sobre a violência escolar. Compreende-se a complexidade e amplitude da violência no ambiente escolar, entendendo este espaço como local de socialização e construção do conhecimento e cidadania. Percebe-se que uma educação sem o discurso da ação e do diálogo, sem protagonismo dos atores sociais e escolares, é passível de violência. Portanto, há a necessidade de mudança de paradigmas para se estabelecer uma Cultura de Paz e tolerância nas escolas, bem como a reflexão de novos mecanismos de enfrentamento e valorização dos direitos humanos.
TECNOLOGIA E EDUCAÇÃO: SOBRE HOMO FABER E O ANIMAL LABORANS NAS REFLEXÕES SOBRE A CRISE NA EDUCAÇÃO DE HANNAH ARENDT
Authors: Deina Wanderley José , Francisco Maria de Fátima Simões
Published: May 2019

O artigo toma como fio condutor a análise sobre as transformações na ordem das atividades fundamentais: o trabalho, a obra e a ação – sobre as quais Hannah Arendt discorre ao longo de A Condição Humana – para relacioná-la às críticas à Pedagogia Moderna estabelecidas no ensaio A Crise na Educação. Parte-se da compreensão de que o aprendizado como decorrência dos processos da produção e da fabricação, próprios do trabalhador e do fabricante, são fatores determinantes para o esvaziamento do sentido político da educação e para a crise de responsabilidade com o mundo. Nesse sentido, resgata alguns pressupostos históricos e filosóficos do processo que culminou na ascensão do trabalho como principal atividade humana e que destituiu as sociedades modernas de um sentido político, tornando irrelevantes os conteúdos educativos relacionados à formação do cidadão.
HISTÓRIA, POLÍTICA E EDUCAÇÃO EM HANNAH ARENDT
Authors: Da Silva Mauro Sérgio Santos , Danelon Márcio
Published: May 2019

O presente trabalho discorre acerca da relação entre as noções de história, política e educação a partir do pensamento de Hannah Arendt. Para tanto, traz à baila os elementos que, para a autora, circundam a ideia de história do paradigma grego antepostos à compreensão moderna de história. Apoiado nas reflexões de Flores D’arcais expõe a crítica da autora às filosofias da história erguidas sob a influência de uma concepção de história como processo causal com leis e normas que se sobrepõem aos acontecimentos, aos indivíduos, às iniciativas, à ação e, em última instância, à liberdade. Aponta as condições de possibilidade de uma ação política (livre) e, por conseguinte, da acepção de educação consentânea com tal ação.

A MEMÓRIA PARA WALTER BENJAMIN E HANNAH ARENDT: ALGUMAS REFLEXÕES ACERCA DA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Dias Kamila Gusatti , De Almeida Maria Zeneide Carneiro Magalhães
Published: May 2019

O artigo tem como objetivo problematizar a questão da memória como ponto de convergência e aproximação entre o pensamento de Walter Benjamin e de Hannah Arendt. Realizou-se uma análise das obras A Condição Humana e Entre o Passado e o Futuro, de Hannah Arendt, e Magia e Técnica, Arte e Política: ensaios sobre literatura e história da cultura, de Walter Benjamin. A escolha dessas obras ocorreu em virtude da identificação, nelas, de convergências de pensamento sobre o direito à memória, seus sentidos e significados a partir da contemporaneidade. Benjamin evidencia uma experiência causada pelo horror da Primeira Guerra Mundial e o silenciamento vivido pelos soldados e suas experiências traumáticas, o que empobreceu suas ações comunicáveis. No diálogo que se buscou estabelecer entre as ideias arendtianas acerca da memória e a tradição, identificou-se que, embora a categoria memória não seja central nos escritos de Hannah Arendt, há conceitos voltados à História e Memória, perspectiva em que Hannah Arendt questiona as rupturas e descontinuidades vivenciadas pelos judeus no holocausto. Desse modo, o ponto de convergência entre os dois pensadores está na relação entre a liberdade individual e a tradição, no momento compartilhamento e de relações com o mundo que herdamos.
