Transitioning to a meaningful appraisal process: One principal’s journey
Authors: Offen Bilinda , Sandretto Susan
Published: July 2019

This paper focuses on the role of the principal in establishing a meaningful appraisal process. The journey of one urban primary school is explored from the perspective of the principal as the teaching staff transition from an ineffective system to a process that has teacher growth and learners’ achievement at the centre. We acknowledge that the leadership team and teachers played an important role in implementing any changes, however, the key focus of this paper is the principal’s actions. Audio-recorded interviews with the principal and five teachers, followed by three years of participant observations of regular meetings and conversations recorded in field notes, chart the principal’s journey. We argue the principal’s leadership strategies developed a community of practice supporting teacher professional development, which in turn paved the way to shift teachers’ perceptions and produce a meaningful appraisal process. This shift is evidenced in surveys taken at the beginning and end of the three-year period which show a marked change in teachers’ attitudes, beliefs and perceptions of the appraisal purpose. We conclude with implications for school leaders interested in revising their appraisal process.
Evaluating the predictability of central Indian rainfall on short and long timescales using theory of nonlinear dynamics

Published: July 2019

The theoretical and practical understanding of projected changes in rainfall is desirable for planning and adapting to climate change. In this study, finite size Lyapunov exponents (FSLE) are used to study error growth rates of the system at different timescales. This is done to quantify the impact of enhanced anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions on the predictability of fast and slow varying components of central Indian rainfall (CIR). The CIR time series for this purpose is constructed using the daily gridded high-resolution India Meteorological Department (IMD) dataset and Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) output for historical run and three representative concentration pathways (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5) from the HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, CCSM4, BCC-CSM1.1, and MPI-ESM-LR models. The analyzed CIR dataset reveals a low dimensional chaotic attractor, suggesting that CIR requires a minimum of 5 and maximum of 11 variables to describe the state of the system. FSLE analysis shows a rapid decrease in the Lyapunov exponent with increasing timescales. This analysis suggests a predictability of about 2–3 weeks for fast varying components at short timescale of the CIR and about 5–9 years for slow varying components at long timescales.

Published: July 2019

In the context of reconsidering the Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) methods
at the economical level, namely the optimization rules of OECD, the present review unfolds the key features
of Minimal Sterical, Monte-Carlo and Minimal Topological Difference (MTD) methods, developed for
quantitative treatment of the relations between biological activity of organic chemical compounds (drugs,
pesticides, and so on) and their structures. The initial Minimal Steric Difference (MSD) is completed by the
three-dimensional variant of the MTD method, being the last one referred to here, while the main principles
of validating and guiding a viable QSAR method verified by the analytical-automated MTD, thus enlarging
the perspectives of understanding the chemical-biological interaction at the level of ligand-receptor sites,
cavity, and walls, with a true service to the future adaptive molecular design.

Published: July 2019

Uveal melanoma is the most prevalent primary intraocular tumour in adults with
the incidence between five and six cases per million people in the United States and Europe.
The prognosis of patients with uveal melanoma is unfavourable with a 5-year survival rate of
50-70% despite significant advances in local tumour treatment using radiotherapy or surgical
resection. Approximately 50% of the patients develop metastases within 15 years from initial
diagnosis, mostly in the liver. The median survival rate after the onset of metastases is 6
months. Potential treatment options for metastatic uveal melanoma are chemotherapy, targeted
therapy, and immunotherapy but no method showed satisfactory results. Immunotherapy
with checkpoint inhibition showed promising results in the treatment of cutaneous melanoma;
however, it did not appear to be equally effective with uveal melanoma. This may be
due to differences in mutational burden, expression of neoantigens between these two types of
tumour, immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, and low immunogenicity and immune
privilege of uveal melanoma. Considering the disappointing results of treatment with
anti-CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in patients with advanced uveal melanoma several
new forms of therapies are being developed. This may include immunotherapy with
IMCgp100, glembatumumab vedotin and the infusion of autologous TILs, targeted therapy
with selective MEK inhibitors, epigenetic therapy, and nanotherapy. Better insight into the
molecular and genetic profile of uveal melanoma will facilitate detection of new prognostic
biomarkers and thus enable a better modification of the existing immunotherapy methods and
development of new forms of treatment specifically designed for uveal melanoma patients.
Protein Glycation: An Old Villain is Shedding Secrets
Authors: Lushington Gerald H. , Barnes Anthony C.
Published: July 2019

:

The glycation of proteins is non-physiological post-translational incorporation of
carbohydrates onto the free amines or guanidines of proteins and some lipids. Although the
existence of glycated proteins has been known for forty years, a full understanding of their
pathogenic nature has been slow in accruing. In recent years, however, glycation has gained widespread
acceptance as a contributing factor in numerous metabolic, autoimmune, and neurological
disorders, tying together several confounding aspects of disease etiology. From diabetes, arthritis,
and lupus, to multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s
diseases, an emerging glycation/inflammation paradigm now offers significant new insight into a
physiologically important toxicological phenomenon. It exposes novel drug targets and treatment
options, and may even lay foundations for long-awaited breakthroughs.

:

This ‘current frontier’ article briefly profiles current knowledge regarding the underlying causes
of glycation, the structural biology implications of such modifications, and their pathological
consequences. Although several emerging therapeutic strategies for addressing glycation
pathologies are introduced, the primary purpose of this mini-review is to raise awareness of the
challenges and opportunities inherent in this emerging new medicinal target area.
Process Evaluation of Nurse-Led Online Self-Management Support for Family Caregivers to Deal With Behavior Changes of a Relative With Dementia (Part 1): Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Huis in het Veld Judith G , van Asch Iris F M , Willemse Bernadette M , Verkade Paul-Jeroen , Pot Anne Margriet , Blom Marco M , Groot Zwaaftink Rob B M , Francke Anneke L
Published: July 2019

Background

Coping with behavioral changes is a daily challenge for family caregivers in all phases of dementia, and assistance is needed for it. An online self-management support intervention was therefore developed and conducted involving the following elements: (1) email contact with a specialized dementia nurse, (2) online videos, and (3) e-bulletins containing information about behavior changes and how to manage them.

Objective

The aim of this study was to understand (1) family caregivers’ actual use of various elements of the online self-management support, (2) family caregivers’ evaluation and satisfaction with the various elements, and (3) nurses’ usage and evaluations of the online support through the tailored email contacts.

Methods

A mixed methods design was used in this process evaluation, combining quantitative and qualitative methods including analyses of dementia nurses’ registration forms, the number of clicks on online videos and e-bulletins, evaluation questions answered by family caregivers in a survey questionnaire, semistructured interviews with family caregivers and nurses, and analysis of the content of the email contacts.

Results

The actual use of various elements of the online self-management support by family caregivers varied: 78% (21/27) of family caregivers had an email contact with the specialist nurse, 80% (43/54) of family caregivers clicked on an online video, and 37% (30/81) clicked on an e-bulletin. Family caregivers showed positive evaluations and satisfaction. The tailor-made approach in the personal email contacts in particular was valued by the family caregivers. Nurses’ evaluations about providing self-management support online were mixed as it was a relatively new task for them.

Conclusions

An important insight is that not all participants made optimum use of the various elements of the intervention. Nurses also said that the email contacts were more often used to express feelings about coping with behavioral changes. More research is needed to investigate the reasons why people accept, adopt, and adhere to online interventions to reduce cases where they are not used and to back them up appropriately with tailored (online) information and advice for their personal situations.
Epidemiological Characterization of a Directed and Weighted Disease Network Using Data From a Cohort of One Million Patients: Network Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Ko Kyungmin , Lee Chae Won , Nam Sangmin , Ahn Song Vogue , Bae Jung Ho , Ban Chi Yong , Yoo Jongman , Park Jungmin , Han Hyun Wook
Published: July 2019

BACKGROUND

In the past 20 years, various methods have been introduced to construct disease networks. However, established disease networks have not been clinically useful to date because of differences among demographic factors, as well as the temporal order and intensity among disease-disease associations.

OBJECTIVE

This study sought to investigate the overall patterns of the associations among diseases; network properties, such as clustering, degree, and strength; and the relationship between the structure of disease networks and demographic factors.

METHODS

We used National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort (NHIS-NSC) data from the Republic of Korea, which included the time series insurance information of 1 million out of 50 million Korean (approximately 2%) patients obtained between 2002 and 2013. After setting the observation and outcome periods, we selected only 520 common Korean Classification of Disease, sixth revision codes that were the most prevalent diagnoses, making up approximately 80% of the cases, for statistical validity. Using these data, we constructed a directional and weighted temporal network that considered both demographic factors and network properties.

RESULTS

Our disease network contained 294 nodes and 3085 edges, a relative risk value of more than 4, and a false discovery rate-adjusted P value of <.001. Interestingly, our network presented four large clusters. Analysis of the network topology revealed a stronger correlation between in-strength and out-strength than between in-degree and out-degree. Further, the mean age of each disease population was related to the position along the regression line of the out/in-strength plot. Conversely, clustering analysis suggested that our network boasted four large clusters with different sex, age, and disease categories.

CONCLUSIONS

We constructed a directional and weighted disease network visualizing demographic factors. Our proposed disease network model is expected to be a valuable tool for use by early clinical researchers seeking to explore the relationships among diseases in the future.

Published: July 2019

Latar Belakang: Rumah sakit di Indonesia sudah mengembangkan jenjang karir sesuai dengan kebutuhannya masing-masing, meskipun belum mengarah pada pengembangan jenjang karir profesional. Jenjang karir digunakan untuk penempatan perawat pada jenjang yang sesuai dengan keahliannya, serta menyediakan kesempatan yang lebih baik sesuai dengan kemampuan dan potensi perawat.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui evaluasi pelaksanaan kompetensi berdasarkan jenjang karir profesional perawat.Metode: Jenis penelitian ini yaitu deskriptif observasional dengan pendekatan survey. Populasi dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 43 perawat pelaksana, dengan metode total sampling. Intrumen dalam penelitian ini menggunakan format panduan jenjang karir perawat yang dibuat oleh rumah sakit. Analisa data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan distribusi frekuensi.Hasil: Hasil dalam penelitian ini menunjukan pelaksanaan jenjang karir oleh PK I (56.3%) sesuai, perawat klinis II (50.0%) sesuai, dan perawat klinis III (66.7%) sesuai.Kesimpulan: Pelaksanaan kompetensi berdasarkan jenjang karir profesional perawat dalam kategori sesuai sebesar 58.1%. Masih banyak perawat yang masuk dalam kategori tidak sesuai, dikarenakan masih banyak juga perawat yang mengerjakan diluar kewenangan, PK I mengerjakan PK II dan PK III, begitupun sebaliknya. Hal ini dikarenakan pada saat dinas, pemerataan PK tidak merata. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya tinjauan ulang dalam segi sumber daya manusia perawat yang sudah memiliki jenjang karir, agar pemerataan jenjang karir yang baik di setiap ruangan.

Family is considered as the smallest community unit. There is no society without a family. This smallest community unit is where education learned for the child. Family is the most important place where the children form their potential, good morality, sense and skills, because of that it is really possible for parents to exert influence for their children. Furthermore, children as a mandate for parents need to be guided and monitored in order to bring them to behave and act according to Islamic regulation. It is because further education will depend on their basic education. The family also has a rule in giving the children Islamic education because the family is closely related to their lives. It can be said that if education in the family and the surrounding environment is good so it could be when the children grow up they will have good behavior.

Este estudo busca propor um modelo baseado na lógica fuzzy para avaliar o enquadramento de contas municipais aos limites fiscais. Utilizou-se como variáveis para a construção do modelo a destinação de recursos públicos municipais que interferem na decisão de aprovação ou reprovação das contas. O modelo é composto de sete entradas, um conjunto de regras de inferência e uma saída discreta para a avaliação das contas públicas. Foram realizadas simulações das contas públicas de municípios de acordo com o estabelecido na legislação. Os resultados indicam as potencialidades oferecidas pelo modelo. Por possibilitar um sistema de avaliação que vai além das restrições impostas pela lógica binária, na qual as contas de uma prefeitura são aprovadas ou reprovadas, sem qualquer possibilidade de transição entre uma ou outra. Por permitir ao analista de contas públicas configurar o software, por meio de percentual por ele atribuído aos limites, de modo que o mesmo seja mais brando ou rígido com os limites não atingidos e/ou ultrapassados pelos gestores públicos. Pela capacidade do sistema, pode ser utilizado como ferramenta de auxílio aos gestores públicos municipais para que se enquadrem com antecedência nos limites previstos na legislação. Por fim, o presente estudo pode contribuir para a ciência contábil na área da contabilidade pública, à medida que procurou demonstrar a aplicação de um modelo que não repousa sobre a lógica clássica.

Minoritas Muslim di China: Perkembangan, Sejarah Dan Pendidikan
Authors: Wekke Ismail Suardi , Rusdan Rusdan
Published: July 2019

Terdapat bebeberapa teori tentang masuknya agama Islam di China. Perbedaan pendapat tersebut disebabkan oleh kurangnya data yang valid yang ditemukan dilapangan tentang kapan dan dimana pertama kali Islam menyebar di negeri itu.Menurut Jean A. Berli dalam bukunya Islam in China menjelaskan,masuknya Islam di China berlangsung pada abad ke-8.Sedangkan apabila berdasarkan pada catatan Chen Yuen dan catatan resmi dari Dinasti Tang menunjukkan bahwa Khalifah Utsman bin Affan sudahmengirim utusan ke China sejak abad ke-7, tepatnya tahun 30 H/651 M. Kedatangan Islam lebih dari 10 abad yang lalu tentu sedikit banyak memberikan dinamika tersendiri bagi perkembangan China. Meski sebagai minoritas, umat Islam di China selalu melibatkan diri dalam proses dealektika sejarah berdirinya negeri tersebut. Bahkan tokoh revolusionis yang membawa China dari pemerintahan tiran (Dinasti Manchu) menuju negara Republik Demokratis adalah seorang tokoh Islam yang bernama Sun Yat Sen. Hadirnya Sun Yat Sen dan tokoh-tokoh muslim penting lainya tidak lepas dari kegigihan umat Islam dalam membangun peradaban mereka melalui kultur, sosial, budaya dan pendidikan yang mereka perjuangkan selama berabad-abad. Di sadari atau tidak, kegigihan umat Islam inilah yang secara tidak langsung juga ikutserta dalam menentukkan arah gerak masa depan China yang sekarang ini.

Generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) is a widespread disease. It has a serious negative impact on the quality of a patient’s life, posing a challenge to dentists all over the world. At present, standard therapy regimens for GCP adopted in the Russian Federation do not account for the mucosal barrier state, which is determined by a number of various factors, including the levels of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA). In our study, we attempted to assess the functional state of the mucosal barrier in patients with GCP and to provide a rationale for using immunotherapy aimed at restoring the effective barrier function of the oral mucosa. SIgA concentrations, which served as an indicator of the mucosal barrier state, were measured with ELISA. We found that patients with GCP had significantly lower sIgA concentrations in the oral fluid in comparison with healthy individuals. Although therapeutic procedures did help to increase sIgA levels, they still were much lower after therapy than in healthy volunteers (54.6 ± 30.5 µg/ml vs 151.2 ± 105.2 µg/ml). Increased permeability of the mucosal barrier caused sIgA to leak into the peripheral blood serum, where its concentration grew from 0.21 ± 0.28 µg/ml to 0.35 ± 0.47 µg/ml during the treatment course, suggesting damage to the mucosal integrity. This fact needs to be accounted for when treating patients with GCP.

Published: July 2019

Ralstonia solanacearum, a causal agent of bacterial wilt, a disease with significant negative impacts on world agriculture, presents considerable difficulties in handling due to its resistance to the common forms of control. Based on this context, the objective of this work was to investigate alternative substances for biofilm control and planktonic growth of this phytopathogen. Four organic extracts in the eluotropic series (cyclohexane, chloroform, athyl acetate, and methanol) of Myroxylon peruiferum collected in the Caatinga were evaluated for antibiofilm and antibacterial activity using the crystal violet method and antibacterial activity in microplates, considering positive values greater than 50% inhibition. The organic extracts were evaluated qualitatively by thin layer chromatography. Results obtained showed that antibiofilm activity was detected in the cyclohexanic extract, whereas ethyl acetate extract showed antibiotic activity, both in the minimum inhibitory concentration of 3 mg/mL. The evaluation presented in this study provides a database for the development of new natural phytopathogen control agents.

Objectives: To describe tobacco smoking habits, attitudes, second-hand smoke exposure, and training in cessation counselling at the University of Medicine Pharmacy, Sciences and Technology of Târgu-Mureș (UMPSTTM), as baseline data for the first Romanian university to implement a Smoke Free University Project.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered in 2014 among dental students at UMPSTTM to explore their smoking habits, attitudes toward smoking and tobacco control policies, exposure to second-hand smoke, interest in quitting, and their knowledge about cessation counselling. We used core questions of the Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) and added specific items related to the Smoke Free University Project. Data were analysed by SPSS v22 software. We compared our results with those of the GHPSS Survey.

Results: 581 dental students, 73.1% of the target population (n=795), completed the questionnaire. 38.7% were current smokers. Approximately 1 in 5 (22.6%) current smokers admitted smoking inside university buildings, although 80.7% were aware of the smoking ban. 44.2% of current smokers plan to quit smoking. Nearly half of the students (48.9%) were exposed to secondhand smoke in their current homes, 78.1% in public places and 33.3% inside the university buildings. Only 21.0% of all participants received any formal training on how to help future patients quit.

Conclusions: Tobacco use prevalence was higher among future dentists than in the majority of respondents to the GHPSS. Changes in dental school education are needed to promote personal smoking cessation, as well as to educate dentists on how to support their future patients quitting.

Published: July 2019

Objectives: The aim of the study was to propose a new UHPLC method for the determination of cannabidiol (CBD) from supplements and drugs available on the Romanian market.

Materials and methods: The HPLC assay of CBD was achieved by using a Phenomenex Gemini NX-C18 column. The mobile phase consisted of 70% acetonitrile and 30% water. Elution was performed in isocratic mode and the detection was done at 208 nm. The method was tested on hard capsules containing 150 mg of CBD.

Results and discussions: The retention time of CBD was 2.8 minutes. Regression analysis showed good linearity over the 1-100 ug/ml concentration range. The lowest limit of quantification was established at 1 µg/ml. The method was developed by using reconstituted capsules. The substance proved low stability in solution at room temperature and stability at temperatures between 2-8°C. The recovery of reconstituted samples was 96.77%. The commercial capsules had a very low content of 15-20% from declared content.

Conclusions: The proposed method can be used for CBD determination in different pharmaceutical formulations – hard and soft capsules with coconut oil as excipient.
