Authors: Bregar Branko , Skela-Savič Brigita , Kajdiž Karmen , Kores Plesničar Blanka
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Attitudes of nursing employees towards mechanical restraint are directly connected to their incidence. The purpose of this research was to examine the attitudes of psychiatric nursing staff towards the use and administration of mechanical restraints.Methods: The cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using a structured Heyman-type survey. All the Slovenian nursing staff in psychiatric hospitals participated on a given day (n = 367).Results: Differences were observed in the average duration of administered mechanical restraint between individual hospitals (χ2 = 43.770, p < 0.001). Staff most often stated that patients felt angry when subjected to mechanical restraint (n = 328, 89.4 %). Nonetheless, the majority of respondents believe that mechanical restraints can be an effective therapeutic tool (n = 343, 91.6 %). Females (U = 11450.50, p = 0.025) and with higher education (U = 9527.00, p = 0.002) experience statistically significantly more negative emotions and are less inclined to use mechanical restraints.Discussion and conclusion: It is evident that in addition to the factors we researched some other factors are more influential when the incidences of coercive measures are closely studied. Due to some variation between hospitals it would be advisable to review the current clinical practices in this field. The management of health institutions should be considered an essential factor in the efforts to decrease mechanical restraint use.

Published: March 2019

Higher education is one of the key factors in the effort to improve the lives and well-being of a nation. The experience of developed countries in Asia showed that the quality of higher education correlated significantly with the increased competence of human resources as a whole which eventually forms a high competence in the global competition. Globalization proactively answered by the governments in various parts of the world through international cooperation in the form of teaching, research, and dedication to the university in the form of the internationalization program. Through descriptive qualitative method enriched by quantitative techniques with intrinsic case study design (intrinsic case study), this research found that the success of internationalization is driven by capacity building supported by horizontal and hands on leadership. Therefore, the leadership of a university is not only an academic but it must be a manager who is able to read the signs of change.
RANCANG BANGUN PINTU WAHANA OTOMATIS MENGGUNAKAN SENSOR ULTRASONIK HC-SR04 SEBAGAI PENGUKUR TINGGI BADAN DAN SENSOR LOAD CELL DENGAN HX711 SEBAGAI PENGUKUR BERAT BADAN BERBASIS ARDUINO MEGA 2560

Published: March 2019

Agung Hanifan Lutfiyanto, Arkhan Subari, in this paper explain that at present, profit plyaground still uses manual measurement to select visitors who will enter the vehicle. Measuring just selecting one's height by putting aside weight can have a negative impact on the smoothness and safety of the playing area. Therefore, an automation is needed to measure body weight and height to be safer from game accidents and increase vehicle life to avoid damage. This design makes the device an automatic vehicle area entrance system using Arduino Mega 2560 for the main controller system supported by various sensors namely HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor as a measure of prospective visitor height, 100 Kg Load Cell sensor as a measure of prospective visitor's weight and motor servo as the opening and closing door of the vehicle. When prospective visitors will enter the vehicle, prospective visitors stand on their height and weight gauges. Furthermore, Arduino compares with the standard height and weight previously set. If the weight and height are in accordance with the standard, the door will open automatically and visitors can enter the vehicle. For testing the prospective visitor's height as measured by the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor has an average error ratio of 1.01%, while testing prospective visitor's weight measured by sensor Load Cell has an average error ratio of 2.90% and is calculated quite accurate. Keywords: Automatic door, Arduino Mega 2560, HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor, Load Cell sensor, Servo MotorReferencesMuhammad Khoiruddin , Afif. 2015.

RANCANG BANGUN ALAT PEMANTAUAN PENGATURAN KECEPATAN PUTAR MOTOR DC POWER WINDOWS BERBASIS PLC PANASONIC MENGGUNAKAN HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI)
Authors: Anarwati Agustin , Setiono Iman
Published: March 2019

Agustin Anarwati, Iman Setiono, today human life is very rapidly developing, one of them in the field of technology as time advances. This requires the creation of ideas to make a variety of equipment that is more practical and more reliable in meeting needs. In the industrial world today, most equipment uses PLC as a controller for various existing equipment, while the Human Machine Interface (HMI) is used to simplify monitoring existing equipment. In the automotive world, the power windows system is part of the body's electrical circuit which aims to make it easier for motorists to operate car windows. The driver can adjust the work of the power windows through a switch. When the driver presses the switch then the motor power window will rotate and will make the window work both open and close. The type of motor used in the power window system is a DC motor. One of the features of this DC motor is its speed can be controlled easily. In this case, I tried to make the design of the monitoring device setting the DC power speed of the windows power using PLC and HMI as monitors and controllers for operating the DC power windows rotating speed to make it easier, the speed can be adjusted through the output voltage from the PLC to the driver, starting from 0 VDC up to 5 VDC. if the voltage is 5 VDC then the motor will rotate with a maximum speed of 100%, whereas if given a 2.5 VDC input, the motor speed will be half of the 5 VDC rotational speed. Keywords: Panasonic PLC, Human Machine Interface (HMI), Dc Power Motor Windows, PWM DriverReferencesAnonim. “Sensor”. 5 agustus 2015. https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/SensorIsyanto, Jazi Eko. 2014.

REALISASI PENGENDALI ON-OFF HISTERISIS DENGAN OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER (OP-AMP)
Authors: Tadeus Dista Yoel , Subari Arkhan , Manan Saiful
Published: March 2019

The realization of the On-Off control system can be built using the comparator principle. The principle has a weakness that is the possibility of chattering due to 'thin' limit of comparator switching. Low immunity to noise increases chances of chattering, if not anticipated it will cause 'fatigue' on actuator thus reducing component’s lifetime. Hysteresis has features to suppress chattering. This article describes how to realize the hysteresis On-Off controller using Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) which is simple and cheap discrete electronics component, by modifying the Op-Amp comparator circuit so that it has the hysteresis band with minimum and maximum limit variable so that the reference point of the comparator can be shifted.
Singapore’s Foreign Policy: A Book Review
Authors: Alunaza SD Hardi
Published: March 2019

This book contains five chapter with a specific explain and contribution in every chapter. The first chapter is about Singapore’s foreign policy and explains about exceptional state. The second chapter is talking about the battle of sovereignty. The third is about transcending regional locale. The fourth explaining about Singapore and the power, and the last is about driving and suffering the region. The Island Republic of Singapore is the smallest state within South-East Asia and, indeed, within a wider East Asia. It also lacks natural resources, except for the human variety in limited numbers, and a harbor in an ideal location for servicing regional trade. In 1999, for the third year running, the Swiss based world economic forum ranked Singapore first among over fifty leading economies in its annual global competitiveness report. In its material accomplishments and attendant external recognition, Singapore is exceptional not only within its regional locale, but also globally among so called small states. The point has been well made that economic success is the main reason for Singapore’s high status and disproportionate influence in international affairs.Keywords: Singapore's foreign policy, sovereignty, small states

Published: March 2019

Emergency departments (EDs) are the largest departments of hospitals which encounter high variety of cases as well as high level of patient volumes. Thus, an efficient classification of those patients at the time of their registration is very important for the operations planning and management. Using secondary data from the ED of an urban hospital, we examine the significance of factors while classifying patients according to their length of stay. Random Forest, Classification and Regression Tree, Logistic Regression (LR), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) were adopted in the data set of July 2016, and these algorithms were tested in data set of August 2016. Besides adopting and testing the algorithms on the whole data set, patients in these sets were grouped into 21 based on the similarities in their diagnoses and the algorithms were also performed in these subgroups. Performances of the classifiers were evaluated based on the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. It was observed that sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy values of the classifiers were similar, where LR and MLP had somehow higher values. In addition, the average performance of the classifying patients within the subgroups outperformed the classifying based on the whole data set for each of the classifiers.
Kritische Metaphysik oder Analytische Hermeneutik?
Authors: Koch Anton Friedrich
Published: March 2019

Kant in his critical metaphysics, as one might call his transcendental philosophy, proceeds from the syncategorematic, subject-sided forms of thinking, which are revealed by general logic qua doctrine of the inferences of reason (i. e. syllogistics), and assigns to them one-to-one categorematic, object-sided forms of thinking: the categories qua pure, non-empirical predicates of things. Kant then shows in his transcendental deduction that the categories are objectively, – i. e. without our invasive intervention – valid of all things in space-time. In the present essay, philosophy is understood not so much as critical metaphysics in a narrow sense of “metaphysics”, but rather as the a priori hermeneutic science; and the transcendental deduction of the categories is replaced by arguments for (1) a readability thesis and (2) a theory of the a priori presuppositions of referencing things in space and time. The readability thesis states that things can be read (1) as world-sided primal tokens (ur-tokens) of proper names of themselves and also (2) as world-sided primal tokens (ur-tokens) of elementary propositions about them. The theory of the a priori presuppositions clarifies the conditions of the possibility of subjects orienting themselves in space and time and being able to refer, first, to themselves qua embodied thinkers and then as well to arbitrary individual items.
The Work of Preparing Canadian Nurses for A Licensure Exam Originating from the USA: A Nurse Educator’s Journey into the Institutional Organization of the NCLEX-RN
Authors: Petrovic Kristin , Doyle Emily , Lane Annette , Corcoran Lynn
Published: March 2019

The licensing exam for registered nurses in Canada has recently been changed from a Canadian developed, owned and delivered exam to the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) which originates from the United States. Rationale for this exam change focused on transitioning to a computer-based exam that has increased writing dates, with increased security, validated psychometrics, increased exam result delivery, and an anticipated decrease in expense to students. Concerns have arisen around the acceptance, implementation and delivery of this exam to Canadian nursing students that reflects the broad Canadian landscape of education and nursing practice. The experience of a Canadian nurse educator in working to facilitate students’ transition to this exam is addressed using an institutional ethnographic lens. Finally, we come to conclusions about the importance of countries utilizing licensing exams that reflect their nursing education and practice
Remarks on the Covering of the Possible Motion Area by Solutions in Rigid Body Systems
Authors: Polekhin Ivan
Published: March 2019

The problem of motion of a rigid body with a fixed point is considered. We study qualitatively the solutions of the system after Routh reduction. For the Lagrange integrable case, we show that the trajectories of solutions starting at the boundary of a possible motion area can both cover and not cover the entire possible motion area. It distinguishes these systems from the systems without gyroscopic forces, where the trajectories always cover the possible motion area. We also present some numerical and analytical results on the same matter for the Kovalevskaya case.

Authors: Ovayolu Ali , Ovayolu Gamze , Karaman Erbil , Yuce Tuncay , Turgut Abdulkadir , Bostancıeri Nuray
Published: March 2019

Objectives

To evaluate the maternal serum endocan levels in pregnant women complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and to compare the results with healthy pregnancies.

Methods

This cohort study included 31 pregnant women with PPROM and 34 gestational age-matched healthy subjects in the third trimester of pregnancy. The blood for analysis was obtained on the day of diagnosis and serum endocan levels were measured using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The pregnant women were observed until the delivery and perinatal data were noted.

Results

No significant differences regarding maternal age, body mass index, gravidity, parity and gestational age at sampling were observed (P > 0.05). Mean serum endocan level was significantly higher in the PPROM group than in healthy controls (1490 ± 632 pg/mL vs. 972 ± 586 pg/mL, respectively; P: 0.001). Serum endocan concentration was positively correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP) (r = 0.754, P < 0.001) and white blood cells count (WBC) (r = 0.712, P:0.001). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that endocan with a cut-off point of 1198 ng/dL indicated women with PPROM with sensitivity of 64.5% and specificity of 35.1% (area under curve 0.731, confidence interval 0.61–0.85).

Conclusion

Serum endocan level was significantly elevated in the PPROM patients than in healthy controls. The endocan level may be a useful indicator of endothelial dysfunction/inflammation in PPROM cases.

Authors: Curay Jenny , Romero Víctor , Brito Jorge
Published: March 2019

We provide insights into the diversity of small non-volant mammals (SNVMs) in the Reserva Geobotánica Pululahua, a peri-urban natural area of Quito, Pichincha province, Ecuador. Based on Sherman-like traps and pitfall traps, we recorded 21 species of SNVMs. They represent 40% of the total species reported for the entire province, and include six species that are endemic to the northwestern slope of the Ecuadorian Andes. Despite its proximity to the city of Quito (less than 5 km), Pululahua seems to have an average richness compared with other similar localities in the Ecuadorian Andes. Our results are a baseline for future conservation plans for SNVMs.

Appleby, BB, Cormack, SJ, and Newton, RU. Unilateral and bilateral lower-body resistance training does not transfer equally to sprint and change of direction performance. J Strength Cond Res 34(1): 54–64, 2020—Given maximal strength can be developed using bilateral or unilateral resistance training, the purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of transfer of unilateral or bilateral resistance training to sprint and change of direction (COD) performance. Thirty-three trained participants (average training age = 5.4 ± 2.9 years and 1 repetition maximum [1RM] 90° squat = 177.6 ± 26.7 kg) completed either a bilateral group (BIL, n = 13), unilateral (UNI, n = 10), or comparison (COM, n = 10) 18-week randomized controlled training design. Training involved 2 lower-body, volume-load–matched resistance sessions per week (6–8 sets × 4–8 reps at 45–88% 1RM), differing only in the prescription of a bilateral (squat) or unilateral (step-up) resistance exercise. Strength was assessed through 1RM squat and step-up, in addition to 20-m sprint and a customized 50° COD test. The effect size statistic ± 90% confidence limit (ES ± CL) was calculated to examine the magnitude of difference within and between groups at each time point. BIL and UNI groups improved their trained and nontrained strength exercise with an unclear difference in adaptation of squat strength (ES = −0.34 + 0.55). Both groups improved 20-m sprint (ES: BIL = −0.38 ± 0.49 and UNI = −0.31 ± 0.31); however, the difference between the groups was unclear (ES = 0.07 ± 0.58). Although both groups had meaningful improvements in COD performance, bilateral resistance training had a greater transfer to COD performance than unilateral resistance training (between-groups ES = 0.59 ± 0.64). Both bilateral and unilateral training improved maximal lower-body strength and sprint acceleration. However, the BIL group demonstrated superior improvements in COD performance. This finding potentially highlights the importance of targeting the underlying physiological stimulus that drives adaptation and not exercise selection based on movement specificity of the target performance.
Classic Powerlifting Performance: A Systematic Review

Published: March 2019

Ferland, PM and Comtois, AS. Classic powerlifting performance: A systematic review. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2019—The purpose of this study was to review all scientific publications related to able-body drug-tested classic powerlifting performance since January 1, 2012, and to regroup them into a brief narrative review. Three electronic databases were systematically searched in August 2018 using the wildcard: powerlift*. A manual search was performed from the reference list of all retained articles. The search and selection strategy permitted to gather a total of 16 scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals. Results show that practitioners should prioritize a low-bar squat and a wide grip bench press because they generally contribute to moving greater loads, bring more attention to preventing injuries, since a fair amount of powerlifters seem to train injured and prioritize a hypertrophy-power-strength model when prescribing 3 times a week daily undulating periodization on nonconsecutive days for squat and bench. Practitioners could also introduce respiratory muscle training, use daily 1 repetition maximum training combined with down sets on experienced athletes and use a rate of perceived exertion scale based on repetitions in reserve combined with an individual velocity profile when prescribing intensity. Before competition, powerlifters seem to taper in this order: the deadlift, the squat, and lastly the bench press. The Slingshot does help to move more weight because it helps to generate more inertia, but it also deactivates the triceps. Finally, the present work was limited by the present literature but could serve as a reference in the field of powerlifting. Further research should include more details about the circumstances under which they were conducted.
La transparencia como variable reputacional de la comunicación de crisis en el contexto mediático del ciberataque WannaCry
Authors: Mañas-Viniegra Luis , Niño González José Ignacio , Martínez Martínez Luz
Published: March 2019

Esta investigación analiza el contexto mediático del ciberataque WannaCry en relación con la comunicación de crisis llevada a cabo por Telefónica con respecto a la ejercida en el sector de Telecomunicaciones, aplicando en dos intervalos del ciberataque la teoría fundamentada o grounded theory al discurso mediático de la prensa. A pesar de la mejorable reputación de las marcas corporativas en el sector de Telecomunicaciones, la reacción inmediata, la transparencia informativa ejercida, la colaboración con los organismos públicos y otros afectados y una rápida solución al ciberataque son las categorías fundamentales sobre las que se ha construido una reputación más sólida que la de su competencia directa durante la comunicación de crisis, trasladando la tradicional portavocía oficial a las redes sociales de uno de sus directivos. El sentimiento negativo del 14% que emerge del discurso mediático durante la primera oleada del ciberataque coincide con el 12% mostrado por la ciudadanía en Twitter, por lo que la opinión publicada es coherente con la opinión de los públicos. A pesar de ello, se observa una mayor incidencia del enfoque negativo en los diarios digitales “confidenciales”, menos expuestos a la presión publicitaria de las grandes marcas corporativas y más a la pérdida de valores periodísticos aludida en la literatura científica.
¿Influye la intensidad de los estímulos sexuales y el feminismo en las actitudes de los consumidores hacia las apelaciones sexuales y el juicio ético? Una perspectiva ecuatoriana
Authors: Brito Rhor Maria Dolores , Rodríguez Herráez Beatriz , Chachalo Carvajal Grace P.
Published: March 2019

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar si la actitud hacia el pensamiento feminista, en un contexto cultural latino, influía en la actitud hacia diferentes anuncios publicitarios que utilizaban apelaciones sexuales hacia el cuerpo de la mujer. Este estudio tomó como base teórica las investigaciones realizadas por Hojoon Choi, Kyunga Yoo, Tom Reichert y Michael LaTour (2016). Se mostraron 4 avisos publicitarios con varios tipos de apelaciones sexuales: desnudez completa, semi-desnudez, nada de desnudez y sexismo hostil. Los resultados arrojados muestran que la media de la actitud feminista (M=3.52, SD=0.82) se encuentra de regular a buena y existe una diferencia significativa entre hombres (M=3.38, SD=0.87) y mujeres (M=3.64, SD=0.77). Las mujeres muestran levemente una actitud más feminista que la de los hombres. En cuanto a las actitudes ante los anuncios publicitarios con diferentes tipos de contenido sexual, se evidenció que existía una diferencia significativa de las medias sobre la actitud ética hacia los mismos. Mientras mayor grado de desnudez se utilizaba en el anuncio, la actitud ética era más negativa. Además, la media del juicio ético sobre el anuncio con “sexismo hostil” fue significativamente diferente al anuncio con semi-desnudez y desnudez completa. De los cuatro anuncios se pudo encontrar una diferencia significativa entre la actitud feminista y la actitud ética hacia el anuncio que contenía imágenes de sexismo hostil. El grupo con un alto grado de feminismo tenía una actitud ética más negativa hacia el anuncio con sexismo hostil (M=3.81, SD=1.69) comparado con el grupo de bajo grado de feminismo (M=4.19, SD=1.40).

Published: March 2019

O crescimento populacional e a produção de novas tecnologias de difícil degradabilidade faz com que os resíduos sólidos sejam, atualmente, um dos temas mais discutidos devido à limitação do espaço para sua destinação final. No Brasil foi sancionada no ano de 2010 a lei da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos - PNRS, tendo entre seus objetivos, a gestão integrada e o gerenciamento dos Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos - RSU. Neste estudo, objetiva-se conhecer os tipos de RSU descartados de maneira imprópria em uma área no bairro dos rodoviários, no município de Paulo Afonso/BA. A metodologia consistiu na triagem dos resíduos existentes no local de acordo com suas características e a pesagem separada de acordo com seu tipo. Cada resíduo pesado foi registrado no caderno de campo e os percentuais foram determinados através da equação da composição gravimétrica e da geração per capita, contemplando apenas os resíduos secos. De acordo com os resultados obtidos entre os materiais secos pesados e seu grande potencial de aproveitamento, o vidro e a madeira apareceram com predominância total, somando 76,6% da amostragem total. Este trabalho serve como contribuição para novas investigações e desenvolvimento de atividades que visem buscar soluções e execução de novas políticas públicas.

The Relationship between Self-Esteem and Depression when Controlling for Neuroticism
Authors: Mu Wenting , Luo Jing , Rieger Sven , Trautwein Ulrich , Roberts Brent W.
Published: March 2019

Much research has examined the interplay of depression and self-esteem in an effort to determine whether depression causes self-esteem (scar model), or vice versa (vulnerability model). In the current longitudinal study (N = 2,318), we tested whether neuroticism served as a confounding variable that accounted for the association of depression and self-esteem, using both cross-lag models and latent growth models. We found neuroticism accounted for the majority of covariance between depression and self-esteem, to the degree that the scar and vulnerability models appear to be inadequate explanations for the relation between depression and self-esteem. Alternatively, neuroticism appears to be a viable cause of both depression and self-esteem and could explain prior work linking the two constructs over time.
Продовольча безпека Причорноморського регіону: стан, тенденції, перспективи

Published: March 2019

У статті проведено аналіз кількісних значень індикаторів продовольчої безпеки трьох областей Причорноморського регіону - Миколаївської, Одеської, Херсонської. Виявлено, що в звітному періоді в Миколаївській і Одеській областях середній показник енергетичної цінності споживаних продуктів харчування був вище порогового значення, але - нижче середнього по країні. При цьому домогосподарства I, II і IV децильних груп Миколаївській області стикалися з проблемою тимчасового недоїдання. Встановлено, що харчовий раціон жителів Причорноморського регіону - незбалансований за основними поживними речовинами - не виконується умова про частку протеїнів в харчовому раціоні (їжа тваринного походження - 55% від 2500 кал). Нижче норми споживаються продукти харчування зі вмістом вітамінів - свіжі фрукти, ягоди та виноград. Відзначається, що в Одеській і Херсонській областях фактичне значення індикатора «частка витрат на продовольство в структурі сукупних витрат домогосподарств» виявився близьким до граничного значення. Прямим наслідком скорочення споживання основних продуктів харчування і критично низького рівня економічної доступності продовольства для жителів областей Причорноморського регіону є низька фактична ємність більшості сегментів продовольчого ринку.В областях Причорноморського регіону дефіцитними видами продовольства є: м'ясо та м'ясопродукти, риба та рибні продукти, цукор. Інші види продовольства не є дефіцитними. Такий стан вказує на порушення принципів територіальної спеціалізації аграрного виробництва. З'ясовується, що, починаючи з 2000 р., виробництво сільськогосподарської продукції в Причорноморському регіоні демонструє тенденцію до зростання. Однак рівень економічної доступності продовольства - критично низький.Виходячи з цього, робиться висновок, що для досягнення задовільного рівня продовольчої безпеки Причорноморського регіону необхідно перейти від стимулювання пропозиції аграрної продукції до стимулювання продовольчого попиту. Також перспективним є розвиток продуктових подкомплексов дефіцитної продукції, розміщення яких відповідає принципам територіальної спеціалізації.

Сьогодні нові тенденції в культурі харчування і проблема дефіциту таких біологічно активних речовин як харчові волокна, вітаміни і мінеральні елементи, спонукають виробників харчових продуктів до розробки та впровадження у виробництво збагаченої продукції. В основному, в якості натуральних інгредієнтів, для збагачення використовують продукти переробки овочів, фруктів і ягід. Одним з видів такої продукції є зернові батончики. Батончики зернові - це нове покоління продуктів харчування, джерело харчових волокон, вітамінів і мінералів, зручний формат готового продукту з ідеальним складом. Ці продукти служать хорошим і корисним сніданком або «перекусом» і мають високу енергетичну цінність, позитивно впливають на організм людини, здатні зняти «тягу до солодкого». Крім того, батончики зернові нормалізують перистальтику кишечника, діяльність всього шлунково-кишкового тракту, допомагають відновити обмінні процеси в організмі, позитивно впливають на процеси розщеплення жирів, що не тільки добре позначається на фігурі, але і зменшує рівень холестерину в крові, підвищуючи тривалість і якість життя людини.В роботі досліджено асортимент батончиків зернових, що реалізовується в роздрібній торговельній мережі м Одеси. З метою комплексного аналізу всіх показників асортименту, перелік продукції, що продається, представлений у вигляді таблиці із зазначенням найменування, вартості і виробника батончиків зернових по кожній торговельній мережі окремо. Отримано дані, по зростанню даного сегмента ринку за рахунок розширення асортименту батончиків вітчизняного виробництва. Проаналізовано цінова політика виробників батончиків зернових. Вивчено харчову та енергетичну цінність батончиків зернових, а також визначено співвідношення продукції вітчизняного та імпортного виробництва на сучасному ринку України (базуючись на аналізі асортименту кількох торгових мереж). Отримані результати підтверджують перспективність розробки і виведення на ринок нових батончиків зернових збагачених добавками рослинного походження (коренеплодами селери і моркви, спеціями). Виробництво такої техніки дозволить використовувати її для корекції як звичайних (щоденних) раціонів харчування населення, так і раціонів людей з особливими харчовими потребами.

Abstract Objective: To improve communication between attending physicians and radiologists by defining which information should be included in radiology reports and which reporting format is preferred by requesting physicians at a university hospital. Materials and Methods: Respondents were asked to choose among reports with different formats and levels of detail, related to three hypothetical cases, and questioned as to which characteristics commonly found in radiology reports are appropriate for inclusion. To assign the absolute order of preference of the different reports, the Kemeny-Young method was used. Results: Ninety-nine physicians completed the questionnaires (40.4% were resident physicians; 31.3% were preceptors of residency programs; and 28.3% were professors of medicine). For ultrasound with normal findings, ultrasound showing alterations, and computed tomography, respectively, 54%, 59%, and 53% of the respondents chose structured reports with an impression or comment. According to the respondents, the characteristics that should be included in the radiology report are the quality of the image, details of the clinical presentation, diagnostic impression, examination technique, and information about contrast administration, selected by 92%, 91%, 89%, 72%, and 68%, respectively. Other characteristics that were considered important were recommendations on follow-up and additional radiological or non-radiological investigation. Conclusion: Requesting physicians apparently prefer structured reports with a radiologist impression or comment. Information such as the quality of the examination, the contrast agent used, and suggestions regarding follow-up and additional investigation are valued.

ABSTRACT: The great difficulty for family farmers who produce food organically is the control of weeds without using chemical products. One possibility for the management is the use of heat in the sense of coagulating the protoplasm in leaves and stem cells. The present research aimed toconceptual design a mechanized system for weeds control through the use of heat focusing on familiar farmers who produce food organically. In this study, we used a product development methodology which can be divided into different stages that are composed of several tasks. As a result of the use of such methodology, six concepts of heat transfer machines were developed. After the application of selection tools, two concepts were chosen for the optimization process, and then the one considered ideal to meet the needs of farmers was selected.

ABSTRACT: It was evaluated the different methodologies for glomerular enumeration described in the literature in a quantitative, double-blind study on the number of glomeruli present in kidney biopsy specimens obtained using a Tru-cut-type biopsy needle. Eighteen samples were taken (n=18) from various regions of canine kidneys harvested immediately after euthanasia. Sample collection was carried out using Tru-cut-type, semi-automated, 16 gauge needles. Reading and evaluation of the specimens were performed independently by four researchers by means of eye loupe inspection, light microscopy, light microscopy with a reduced condenser aperture, and dissection microscopy. Samples were also subjected to histopathological evaluation for comparison purposes. There was no inter-researcher variation for any of the tested methods. The glomerular counts obtained using light microscopy with reduced condenser aperture were similar to those reported in the histopathological evaluation (P=0.44);whereas, the other glomerular enumeration methods yielded significantly lower counts when compared to the histopathological analysis (eye loupe inspection: P<0.01; conventional light microscopy: P=0.02; dissection microscopy: P<0.01).Light microscope with lowering of the condenser lens delivers better results than conventional light microscopy and eye loupe inspection. Results obtained using dissection microscopy and eye loupe inspection did not correlate well with those provided by histopathological evaluation; consequently, these two methods should be avoided.

ABSTRACT: Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) are exotic birds thatoriginated from Australia.Because of their beauty and learning ability, they are one of the most popular pet birds among the Psittaciformes. The objective of this study was to report a case of leiomyosarcoma on the humeral musculature of the left wing of a cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus). The animal was admitted to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (NURFS-CETAS) of the Universidade Federal de Pelotas withswelling in the humeral region of the left wing. During surgery, the animal died and was transferred to the Laboratório Regional de Diagnóstico, Faculdade de Veterinária (LRD-UFPel). During histopathological evaluation (hematoxylin and eosin routine technique) of the tumor, spindle neoplastic cells were observed, arranged in interlaced bundles amongst degenerate and normal muscle fibers. Using immunohistochemistry, neoplastic cells were positively immunostained for vimentin and alpha smooth muscle actin. Based on of clinical-pathological and immunohistochemical findings, leiomyosarcoma was diagnosed.
Periferia pensada em termos de falta: uma análise do campo da genética humana e médica
Authors: Ferreira Mariana Toledo
Published: March 2019

Resumo Este artigo busca discutir dimensões da relação entre centros e periferias na produção e circulação do conhecimento, a partir de um estudo de caso que se debruça sobre a área da genética humana e médica no Brasil. Para tanto, realizou-se um trabalho de campo que compreendeu a seleção de uma amostra de pesquisadores da área no Brasil, que levou à identificação dos programas de pós-graduação “de excelência”, localizados em quatro universidades públicas: Universidade de São Paulo - campus Ribeirão Preto; Universidade Estadual de Campinas; Universidade Federal do Pará; e Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram então realizadas 46 entrevistas semiestruturadas com pesquisadores pertencentes a essas instituições, para cuja análise utilizou-se o programa Atlas Ti. A exploração desse material permitiu analisar as representações dos pesquisadores sobre as possibilidades e limites de realizar pesquisa em um contexto disciplinar percebido como desigual, se comparado aos centros de pesquisa estrangeiros visitados em suas experiências de formação e pós-doutorado. Essas representações são expressas na ideia de uma periferia relacional, articulada em termos de falta, entendida em referência a questões institucionais, financeiras, técnicas, culturais e cognitivas.**
