Critical Analysis of Patient and Family Rights in JCI Accreditation and Cbahi Standards for Hospitals
Authors: Shaikh Zuber Mujeeb
Published: June 2018

Patient and Family Rights (PFR) is a common chapter available in the Joint Commission International (JCI) Accreditation[i] (fifth edition) and Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions (CBAHI) Standards for hospitals (second edition)[ii]. JCI Accreditation is a USA based international healthcare accrediting organization, whereas CBAHI is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia based national health care accrediting organization. However, both these standards are accredited by Ireland based International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua), which is the only accrediting organization who “accredit the accreditors' in the world. In Patient and Family Rights (PFR) chapter of JCI Accreditation for hospitals, there are nineteen (19) standards and seventy-seven (77) measurable elements (ME) whereas in CBAHI Accreditation there are thirty one (31) standards, ninety nine (99) sub-standards and fifty (50) evidence(s) of compliance (EC). The scoring mechanism is totally different in both these accrediting organizations. The researcher has identified thirty two (32) common parameters from JCI Accreditation and CBAHI standards, intent statement, measurable elements, sub-standard and evidence of compliance. On the basis of these identified common parameters, the researcher has compared the Patient and Family Rights chapter in JCI Accreditation and CBAHI Standards. Methods: This is a comparison study (normative comparison) in which the researcher has critically analyzed and compared the Patient and Family Rights (PFR) standards of JCI (Joint Commission International) Accreditation of USA (United States of America) and CBAHI (Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data Collection: Primary data are collected from the JCI Accreditation Standards for hospitals, fifth edition, 2013 and CBAHI Standards for hospitals of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, second edition, 2011. Secondary data are collected from relevant published journals, articles, research papers, academic literature and web portals. Objectives of the Study: The aim of this study is to analyze critically Patient and Family Rights (PFR) Standards in JCI Accreditation and CBAHI Standards to point out the best in among both these standards. Conclusion: This critical analysis of Patient and Family Rights (PFR) Standards in JCI Accreditation and CBAHI Standards for hospitals clearly show that the PFR Standards in CBAHI Standards are very comprehensive than the JCI Accreditation standards.

The needs of library information need to be met to complete the information needs of the library users who generally have a variety of reasons to perform activities in accordance with their purpose. Information retrieval activity is one of the main activities of the library users at the library of the Research Institute for Spices and Medicinal Herbs (RISMH) to find the source of literature through the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) facility. The purpose of the research was to determine the decision of the user in searching for information. The study was conducted from November to December 2017, with materials obtained from the library literature search 2015 -2017 results form.  The study used the quantitative descriptive method, while the observed variables were: searching users; sources of the required information; subjects needed, and the relationship of the user with the library material searched. Data were analyzed descriptively. The result of the study showed the dominant user searching for information was the researcher; source of information required was documentation, and subject/commodity needed by the user which was medicinal plants. There is a correlation between the researcher’s decision and the searching of journal literature and documentation; student decisions by searching books, journals, and documentation; as well as the general/private user’s decisions with book search and documentation. The information retrieval service at the Balittro Library needs to be improved by linking the online search database with the Balittro website so it can increase the number of online collections.

Authors: Junandi Sri
Published: June 2018

Universitas Gadjah Mada through its Publishing Agency (BPP) aims to improve the quality of scientific journals, among others through internationalisation by including them to reputable indexing institutions. One of the requirements of internationalisation of scientific journals is that the articles in the journal have been cited by other articles in reputable international journals. Another requirement is the use of primary reference resources by the article comes from relevant and new scientific journals and proceedings. This study aimed to (1) identify the usage of Jurnal Agritech as the reference in published articles in international scientific journals indexed by Scopus, and (2) examine the refereed themes (Jurnal Agritech) in the article themes (other reputable journals). The study used the descriptive research method with quantitative approach. Data collection was conducted in February - March 2017 at Gadjah Mada University Library. Study results showed that Jurnal Agritech was used as a reference in articles published by international scientific journals indexed by Scopus. From the eight international scientific journals, the number of referred articles in Jurnal Agritech was one to six articles. Overall, articles published in the eight international scientific journals indexed by Scopus have referred to literatures relevant to Jurnal Agritech. It is therefore important that Jurnal Agritech is enhanced through the internationalization program by including it in the indexing agency.
El Consejo de Salud Suramericano y la creación de un régimen regional de salud
Authors: Olivares Homez Milena
Published: June 2018

Este artículo aborda los principales postulados de los regímenes internacionales desde la teoría neoliberal y los aplica al caso de estudio del Consejo de Salud Sudamericano (CSS), de la UNASUR, analizando si los desarrollos de este último pueden considerarse como un régimen regional de salud. Se revisa detalladamente el proceso de institucionalización del consejo y de sus organismos subsidiarios con una metodología cualitativa, cuyas fuentes primarias son textos, acuerdos fundacionales y las entrevistas a personas relacionadas con el tema. Es importante el trabajo del CSS recopilando información del estado de la salud regional y contribuyendo en la toma de decisiones de los ministros de salud para  mejorar el acceso a la salud de los suramericanos.Esta investigación argumenta que la dinámica que ha creado el CSS especialmente con la instauración del Instituto Suramericano de Gobierno en Salud, ha generado ciertas características de los regímenes internacionales. Sin embargo, en medio de esta sinergia no aparece una función fundamental  de los regímenes y que es esencial para su mantenimiento, a saber: cualquier forma de obligación hacia los estados para que cumplan los acuerdos y de esta manera todos los miembros aumenten la confianza hacia el régimen.

Published: June 2018

A caracterização das sociedades complexas pré-coloniais na Amazônia tem sido discutida desde os anos 1970, sendo a região de Santarém, PA, um local de especial interesse no que tange a esse debate. Embora inicialmente baseada em projeções de fontes etno-históricas, a discussão regional avançou recentemente a partir de evidências materiais reunidas por meio de pesquisas sistemáticas. Assim, esse artigo apresenta os resultados de um levantamento arqueológico realizado em Santarém, numa área situada na margem direita do rio Tapajós, entre a atual cidade de Santarém e o município de Belterra. Os resultados, que foram pensados à luz do conceito de desterritorialização, proposto por Deleuze e Guatarri, apontam a existência de sítios implantados em diferentes locais na paisagem, indicando a fragmentação do espaço.

Authors: Oliveira Rodrigo Elias de , Da-Glória Pedro , Neves Walter Alves
Published: June 2018

A subsistência dos primeiros habitantes de Lagoa Santa - MG e as variações ambientais durante o Holoceno na mesma região têm fomentado intensas discussões entre os pesquisadores brasileiros nas últimas décadas. Um questionário foi aplicado para obter informações dos moradores mais velhos sobre as condições ambientais, assim como as atividades de coleta, pesca e caça praticadas por eles durante a infância e a juventude vividas nos arredores da APA Carste de Lagoa Santa. As informações obtidas são bastante coerentes a estudos científicos já publicados e fornecem elementos importantes para a interpretação dos dados arqueológicos da região, uma vez que os animais, as plantas e os desafios de subsistência de hoje são relativamente similares aos ali encontrados há milhares de anos.

The Vulnerable Teacher: Working Towards Critical Consciousness in a Second Grade Bilingual Classroom
Authors: Osorio Sandra L.
Published: June 2018

Telling your students that you are divorced and your two sons no longer live with their father is not the typical kind of conversation you would expect in a classroom, but in my second-grade Spanish–English bilingual classroom, it was the norm. I had decided to implement literature discussion around Latinx children’s literature. I found that in order for my students and I to develop a relationship built on trust and respect, I had to be vulnerable and willing to share some personal narratives. In the following article, I share how I, the teacher, was vulnerable with my students during our literature discussions around Latinx children’s literature in order to have conversations about critical topics, such as, immigration, bilingualism, and family. My ultimate goal was for my students to develop critical consciousness.

Dibujos de Duque Cornejo en el Álbum Jaffe (I): la colección del Metropolitan Museum of Art
Authors: García Luque Manuel
Published: June 2018

El escultor Pedro Duque Cornejo (1678-1757) fue uno de los creadores más prolíficos y versátiles del barroco sevillano, pero su faceta como dibujante ha permanecido prácticamente olvidada ante el escaso número de dibujos que hasta el momento se había logrado identificar. El hallazgo de un abundante lote en el denominado “álbum Jaffe” permite ahora paliar esta laguna y reconsiderar el papel que el dibujo desempeñó en el proceso creativo del artista. En este trabajo se ofrece una primera aproximación sobre este conjunto, catalogando como suyas treinta y nueve hojas conservadas en el Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A Simple Algorithm for Despiking Raman Spectra
Authors: Whitaker Darren , Hayes Kevin
Published: June 2018

Raman Spectroscopy is a widely used analytical technique, favoured when molecular specificity with minimal sample preparation is required.

The majority of Raman instruments use charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors, these are susceptible to cosmic rays and as such multiple spurious spikes can occur in the measurement. These spikes are problematic as they may hinder subsequent analysis, particularly if multivariate data analysis is required. In this work we present a new algorithm to remove these spikes from spectra after acquisition. Specifically we use calculation of modified Z scores to locate spikes followed by a simple moving average filter to remove them. The algorithm is very simple and its execution is essentially instantaneous, resulting in spike-free spectra with minimal distortion of actual Raman data. The presented algorithm represents an improvement on existing spike removal methods by utilising simple, easy to understand mathematical concepts, making it ideal for experts and non-experts alike.
Biomimetic Extracellular Vesicles Embedded with Black Phosphorus for Molecular Recognition-Guided Biomineralization
Authors: Wang Yingqian , Hu Xiaoxia , Zhang Lingling , Zhu Chunli , Wang Jie , Li Yingxue , Wang Yulan , Wang Can , Zhang Yufeng , Yuan Quan
Published: June 2018

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in the regulation of cell physiological activity and the reconstruction of extracellular environment. Matrix vesicles (MVs) are a type of EVs, and they participate in the regulation of cell mineralization. Herein, bioinspired MVs embedded with black phosphorus are functionalized with cell-specific aptamer (denoted as Apt-bioinspired MVs) for stimulating biomineralization. The aptamer can direct bioinspired MVs to targeted cells, and the increasing concentration of inorganic phosphate originated from the black phosphorus can facilitate cell biomineralization. The photothermal effect of the Apt-bioinspired MVs also positively affects mineralization. In addition, the Apt-bioinspired MVs display outstanding bone regeneration performance. Considering the excellent behavior of the Apt-bioinspired MVs for promoting biomineralization, our strategy provides a way of designing bionic tools for studying the mechanisms of biological processes and advancing the development of medical engineering.
Genetic Algorithm for Combined Speaker and Speech Recognition using Deep Neural Networks
Authors: Kaur Gurpreet , Srivastava Mohit , Kumar Amod
Published: June 2018

Huge growth is observed in the speech and speaker recognition ﬁeld due to many artiﬁcial intelligence algorithms being applied. Speech is used to convey messages via the language being spoken, emotions, gender and speaker identity. Many real applications in healthcare are based upon speech and speaker recognition, e.g. a voice-controlled wheelchair helps control the chair. In this paper, we use a genetic algorithm (GA) for combined speaker and speech recognition, relying on optimized Mel Frequency Cepstral Coeﬃcient (MFCC) speech features, and classiﬁcation is performed using a Deep Neural Network (DNN). In the ﬁrst phase, feature extraction using MFCC is executed. Then, feature optimization is performed using GA. In the second phase training is conducted using DNN. Evaluation and validation of the proposed work model is done by setting a real environment, and eﬃciency is calculated on the basis of such parameters as accuracy, precision rate, recall rate, sensitivity, and speciﬁcity. Also, this paper presents an evaluation of such feature extraction methods as linear predictive coding coeﬃcient (LPCC), perceptual linear prediction (PLP), mel frequency cepstral coefﬁcients (MFCC) and relative spectra ﬁltering (RASTA), with all of them used for combined speaker and speech recognition systems. A comparison of diﬀerent methods based on existing techniques for both clean and noisy environments is made as well.
Model-Based Method for Acoustic Echo Cancelation and Near-End Speaker Extraction: Non-negative Matrix Factorization
Authors: Agrawal Pallavi , Shandilya Madhu
Published: June 2018

Rapid escalation of wireless communication and hands-free telephony creates a problem with acoustic echo in full-duplex communication applications. In this paper a simulation of model-based acoustic echo cancelation and near-end speaker extraction using statistical methods relying on nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is proposed. Acoustic echo cancelation using the NMF algorithm is developed and its implementation is presented, along with all positive, real time elements and factorization techniques. Experimental results are compared against the widely used existing adaptive algorithms which have a disadvantage in terms of long impulse response, increased computational load and wrong convergence due to change in near-end enclosure. All these shortcomings have been eliminated in the statistical method of NMF that reduces echo and enhances audio signal processing.

Janeska, Lozanoska, Djambaska Demographic Changes and Sustainable Demographic Development in the Western Balkans
Authors: Lozanoska Aleksandra , Janeska Verica , Djambaska Elizabeta
Published: June 2018

The main goal of this paper is to identify the challenges of the sustainable demographic development in terms of the changes and current demographic situation in the Western Balkan countries, as well as to detect the importance of comprehensive and consistent population policies. The analysis is based on the relevant indicators for demographic changes identified in the Sustainable Development Strategy of the EU. The comparative analysis is made for the following countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Republic of Macedonia and Serbia. The available data from the Eurostat statistics and other relevant data sources for the last decade are used. Also, relevant studies considering the demographic development and adopted population policies are observed. The added value of this research is in the comparison of the demographic indicators and recognizing their importance for the sustainable demographic development of this region as one of the key preconditions for the future sustainable development.

 The results of the analysis show that the demographic changes are big challenge for the sustainable development in all Western Balkan countries. They have implications in many domains and should be in the focus not only of the demographers, but of the researchers and policy makers in different fields of the macroeconomics as well. The lack of data for old-age income adequacy and public finance sustainability imposes the need for comprehensive database in each country as a precondition for continuous monitoring of the demographic changes and for creating appropriate policies regarding the sustainable development. Based on the results of this research, the common areas where the population policies of these countries should be directed are identified.
Competitive relations in the aftersales market of major appliances in Serbia
Authors: Domazet Ivana , Stošić Ivan , Lazić Milena
Published: June 2018

The primary goal of this paper is to deepen the knowledge and provide analysis of the basic features of the major appliances aftersales market in the Republic of Serbia. This is relatively large, and for a huge number of consumers significant market, which, according to the available knowledge, was not the subject to more detailed research until now. Therefore, through a combination of survey (desk) and secondary (field) research, a detailed overview of the scope and structure of the major appliances aftermarket was carried out. With the aim to identify potential issues and propose curative to overcome them, an analysis on the competitive relations between the main actors and the factors that predominantly affect the market relations in this segment of the aftersales market was conducted. Bearing in mind the basic characteristics of the primary market in Serbia, it can be concluded that interbrand competition on the major appliances aftermarket is intense, and that significant issues are noticed. A potential problem related to competitive relations in this market segment is reflected in the constraints of intrabrand competition (competition between distributors / servicers / spare parts resellers of the same brand). The manufacturer is in a position to impose restrictions on distributors in respect of the terms of their contracts with authorized services and spare parts dealers, obliging them to install / sell spare parts exclusively from its production. Restrictions of this kind are justified only if they provide higher quality of the after-sales service. Otherwise they represent a serious distortion of competitive market behavior, as this limits the entry of independent spare parts manufacturers and servicers, who can offer spare parts and technical and repairing services of the appropriate quality.
Social responsibility of banks in the function of comparative advantage on the market
Authors: Raicevic Milica , Medenica Mitrovic Dijana
Published: June 2018

The business operation of companies is not neutral and is not perceived any more in terms of profitable operations, but also in terms of whether it is beneficial for the society. Social responsibility contributes to improving relationships with key stakeholders, thus contributing to the long-term sustainability of the company. The paper points out to the positive link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the reputation of the bank. Without CSR, neither the improvement nor the expansion of banking operations is possible. The aim is to point out that profit and CSR are not opposed categories and that the CSR of banks represents a strong comparative advantage on the market. The paper gives a theoretical and practical overview of the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR), with a focus on the banking sector.

Theorem recycling for Theorem Proving
Authors: Bjorner Nikolaj , Nachmanson Lev
Published: June 2018

In this paper we examine two cases where solutions to one system of constraints can be used or adapted to solutions to others, for free. We first revisit a method by Bromberger for lifting solutions to systems over linear real arithmetic to solutions over integers. We extend it by identifying several scenarios where solutions over reals can be directly used to establish solutions over integers. Our second case discusses model-based projection, which was introduced in two different places with different, dual, definitions. It turns out that one can typically use the same underlying engines to compute both versions of model based projection and we characterize when this is the case. We extend projection with model- based realization. When used for quantifier reasoning, it serves a complementary purpose than projection. While projection can be used for computing conflict clauses, realizers may be used for forward pruning.

Authors: Venegas Judith , Castillejo Pons Pablo , Chamorro Susana , Carrillo Ivonne , Lobo Eduardo
Published: June 2018

The cyanobacteria Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, is a fresh water ubiquitous species from tropical to temperate weather. It is potentially capable of producing toxins.  Thus it is necessary to monitor its presence in fresh waters associated to recreational use activities and human consumption. There are official reports and one thesis reporting the presence of C. raciborskii in Ecuador. Nevertheless, this country does not appear in the latest distribution maps of this species in the scientific literature. In this article, we report the presence of C. raciborskii in Ecuador, together with the characterization of the environmental conditions of one of the habitats where this species is present: the Limoncocha lagoon, province of Sucumbíos.
Análisis Multitemporal de los cambios de la vegetación, en la Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chimborazo como consecuencia del cambio climático

Published: June 2018

El cambio climático es una problemática mundial que afecta al estado de conservación de los ecosistemas en todas las regiones del mundo; así como también en la Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chimborazo. Está ligado a las actividades antropogénicas dentro y fuera de la misma como es el pastoreo extensivo e intensivo de ovejas y ganado vacuno que han ocasionado efectos sobre la vegetación y en el suelo dado al consumo de plantas nativas y a todos los procesos del ecosistema por estar relacionados entre sí. La metodología usada para lograr la discriminación óptima del cambio y estado de conservación de la vegetación, se logra a través de la aplicación de imágenes satelitales LANDSAT 5, LANDSAT 7, ortofotos y fotografías aéreas a partir del año 1962 – 1966 hasta el año 2010 distribuidos en tres períodos; empleando procedimientos como la clasificación supervisada y el cálculo del Índice Diferencial Normalizado de Vegetación (NDVI). La actividad antrópica para el período 1962-1966 determina un 0.26% y la nieve un 10.30%, mientras que para el período 2010-2011, el porcentaje de intervención se incrementa a un 9.54% y la nieve decrece a un 4.46%, evidenciándose la pérdida de la nieve perpetua por influencia de la radiación solar.

La investigación consistió en evaluar parámetros para obtener una bebida de quinua. Los parámetros considerados fueron extracción de proteína soluble (PS) de quinua y dos condiciones de proceso (adición de estabilizante y temperatura de pasteurización). La concentración de PS en el extracto proteico se estudió a través de los factores: relación harina-solución de NaOH (1:2.50, 1:3.25 y 1:4.00), temperatura (20 y 45 ºC) y pH de acondicionamiento (7.50 y 8.00), durante 30 min a escala de laboratorio. El extracto con mayor concentración de PS fue replicado a escala piloto y formulado con azúcar blanca, saborizante de vainilla y estabilizante (0.00 y 0.25 %) para obtener la bebida, luego se evaluó la temperatura de pasteurización (120 y 130 ºC). Las variables dependientes medidas al día 0 en la bebida fueron: variación de proteína soluble (VPSb), porcentaje en suspensión y reducción de la población microbiana (RPM). El extracto obtenido en proporción 1:3.25 harina-solución de NaOH, 20 ºC y pH 7.50 obtuvo 77.10 ± 1.76 % de PS. El tratamiento a 120 ºC con estabilizante (0.25 %) tuvo -2.36 ± 0.25 % de VPSb y 98.33 ± 1.53 % en porcentaje en suspensión. La bebida obtenida alcanzó 2.36 % de proteína.

Con el objetivo de evaluar la repercusión de Lactobacillus acidophilus y Kluyveromyces fragilis (L-4UCLV) sobre los indicadores productivos y de la salud de los cerdos en las diferentes etapas productivas, se realizaron dos experimentos (I y II). Se emplearon 14 y 45 cerdos híbridos CC21 (Yorkshire – Landrace/ L35 Duroc), respectivamente, distribuidos en dos y tres grupos de 7 y 15 animales cada uno. Control (T1); preparado-A (T2) y preparado-B (T3). T2, contenía L. acidophillus y T3, L. acidophilus más K. fragilis (L-4 UCLV). Se utilizó un diseño completamente aleatorizado donde se evaluó ganancia de peso (GP), ganancia media diaria (GMD), conversión alimenticia (CA), eficiencia alimenticia (EA), incidencia de diarreas y mortalidad. La GP, GMD, CA y EA fue mayor (p>0.05) en el T2 (21.4 kg, 535 g, 1.83 y 57.3%) en el experimento I y en T3 (54.29 kg, 775 g, 49.8%) en el segundo. La incidencia de diarreas y porcentaje de mortalidad fue menor (p<0.05) en tratamientos T2 y T3. En conclusión, con el uso de preparados probióticos se mejoran los parámetros productivos y se logra reducir la incidencia de diarreas y mortalidad en todas las etapas estudiadas.

El objetivo del presente trabajo es controlar el Robot Mitsubishi RV-2JA usando señales electromiográficas de superficie sEMG. Se seleccionó señales sEMG de la mano, las cuales fueron obtenidas mediante un brazalete Myo que adquiere las señales generadas por los musculos a través de sensores superficiales. La integración del sistema se realizó en la plataforma Simulink de Matlab para procesar, identificar, validar y controlar el robot por medio de las sEMG. Para estudiar las gesticulaciones de las manos se realizó el análisis a partir de la metodología de aproximación temporal que permitió la extracción de sus principales características. Se determinó que los parámetros integrado electromiográfico, media del valor absoluto, media cuadrática y varianza tienen correlación directa con el tipo de movimiento que realiza la mano. Para clasificar los tipos de movimiento como fist, spread fingers, wave right, wave left, elder y voor se utilizaron 6 redes neuronales, las cuales permiten activar 3 grados de libertad del robot. Para la integración y verificación del sistema en tiempo real se aplicó la simulación hardware in the loop (HIL) basada en PC, que permitió ejecutar el modelo de planta, la conexión con el sistema de control y comunicación adecuada para verificar que el sistema controla al robot.
