Flower Buds Like MgO Nanoparticles: From Characterisation to Indigo Carmine Elimination
Authors: Modwi A. , Khezami L. , Taha Kamal K. , Idriss Hajo
Published: September 2018

Here, we demonstrate a pyrolysis route for the synthesis of flower buds like magnesium oxide nanoparticles using a magnesium carbonate precursor without additional chemicals. The effect of heating at different time intervals upon the structure and morphology of the acquired nanostructures were investigated via X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy. Nitrogen adsorption was employed to study its porosity. The obtained data confirmed the formation of target nanoparticles that exhibited increasing sizes as pyrolysis time was lengthened. As a consequence a high surface area up to 27 m2 g−1 was recorded for the sample heated for 1 h duration. Furthermore, Indigo Carmine dye adsorption was carried out using the largest surface area species which showed an adsorption capacity of 158 mg g−1. The adsorption was found to comply with the Langmuir isotherm and it follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The diffusion process showed intra-particle along with film diffusion mode.
Die Krisenfestigkeit der Unternehmerfamilie – Haniel, Stumm und der «doppelte» Strukturwandel
Authors: Urban Thomas
Published: September 2018

The resilience of business families in times of crisis. Haniel, Stumm and the «double» structural change.

In order to promote the longevity of their family firm, business families must be able to cope successfully with external and internal stressors. Their resilience in times of crisis derives from a combination of organizational, individual and family factors. Based on these assumptions, the article examines the way in which two German business families, Haniel and Stumm, have dealt with the «double» structural change that they faced between the 1950s and 70s. The Haniel family succeeded in recognizing the necessary separation from their coal and steel heritage at an early stage. Moreover their leading representatives were able to adapt the family policy to the grown and recently reunited shareholder community. In contrast, the Stumm family lacked ideas for a sustainable renewal of its crisis-prone family business structure. In addition and paradoxically, their spokesman did not find a voice in his vain attempts to fight against the intra-family estrangement that weakened the «belief system» of the family. These contrasting examples show that the resilience of business families must be seen as a historically shaped resource that is heavily influenced by non-economic psychological abilities and accomplishments.
Das Milliardengeschäft der Hoechst AG mit der DDR-Chemieindustrie von 1976
Authors: Karlsch Rainer
Published: September 2018

The billion dollar deal between Hoechst and the chemical industry in the GDR in 1976

In May 1976, Hoechst AG and its subsidiary Uhde entered into a contract with the GDR for the construction of a chlorine and PVC production plant valued at more than DM 1 billion. It was the largest German-German plant construction in the chemical industry. This business harbored mainly financial risks for the GDR, since only part of the sum could be paid for deliveries of products from the new plant to Hoechst. Hoechst was itself a large producer of PVC and tried to protect its own markets against competitors from the GDR by means of contractually agreed blacklists.

The plants built by Uhde GmbH were put into operation in 1980 by the VEB Kombinat Chemische Werke Buna, Schkopau. They were based, as was customary at that time, on the amalgam process in which mercury was used. About half of the chlorine and PVC production in Schkopau continued to be produced in old, dilapidated facilities, some of which were from wartime. In one section, where mercury-containing sludge from the chlorine electrolysis of the old and the new plant was processed, only prisoners were active. The management board of Hoechst AG was not aware of this. Business with the GDR was discussed only in economic terms, but not in moral terms.
Enhancing Student Learning on Emerging Infectious Diseases: An Ebola Exemplar
Authors: Dube Derek , Addy Tracie M. , Teixeira Maria R. , Iadarola Linda M.
Published: September 2018

Throughout global history, various infectious diseases have emerged as particularly relevant within an era. Some examples include the Bubonic plague of the fourteenth century, the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918, the HIV epidemic of the 1980s, and the Zika virus outbreak in 2015–16. These instances of emerging infectious disease represent ideal opportunities for timely, relevant instruction in natural and health science courses through case studies. Such instructional approaches can promote student engagement in the material and encourage application and higher-order thinking. We describe here how the case study approach was utilized to teach students about emerging infectious diseases using the 2014–16 Ebola virus outbreak as the subject of instruction. Results suggest that students completing the case study not only had positive perceptions of the mode of instruction, but also realized learning gains and misconception resolution. These outcomes support the efficacy of case pedagogy as a useful teaching tool in emerging infectious diseases, and augment the paucity of literature examining Ebola virus knowledge and misconceptions among undergraduate students within United States institutions.

Investigación acción participativa: proceso de reflexión sobre la práctica pedagógica
Authors: Chacón Céspedes Melissa
Published: September 2018

En el artículo se presenta una reflexión sobre la experiencia pedagógica del proceso de investigación acción participativa (IAP), realizada en el curso de arte llamado “Teatro, Humanismo y Sociedad” del Centro de Estudios Generales (CEG) de la Universidad Nacional. Mediante la vinculación del impacto del arte, específicamente el teatro, se potencializa el de­sarrollo integral en el proceso vivido, pues el propósito fue re­descubrirnos, reconocernos, sentirnos, reconectarnos, revivir todas aquellas capacidades que han ocultado o nos han oprimido la institucionalidad educativa. Se lograron visualizar estructuras para luchar contra el control, el respeto por medio del temor, la burla, la educación bancaria, la impo­sición, factores vividos en los espacios educativos tradicionales. La experiencia se basa en la pedagogía de Paulo Freire. Se parte de que las artes tienen múltiples códigos de expresión, su propósito es humanizar y sensibilizar por medio de diversos lenguajes, po­seen una capacidad de transmitir mensajes, ideas, sensaciones, emociones, reflexiones; ha sido un medio para comunicar, aportando a la vida de las personas múltiples beneficios, a pesar de las ventajas que aporta el arte a las personas, en Costa Rica el desarrollo de dicha actividad ha sido un proceso lento.

Published: September 2018

Objectives

To clarify the priority given to periodical medical examination items among occupational physicians in Japan.

Methods

Sixty-two occupational physicians who participated in this study selected statutory and non-statutory items within two types of budget plans: one lower (8,500 yen) than the total fee of statutory medical examinations (9,250 and 11,290 yen), and the other higher (12,000 yen) than the total fee. Medical fee points were used to set the cost of each medical examination item. A three round Delphi method was used from May to July 2016 to clarify the consensus opinion of occupational physicians.

Results

The statutory items (selection rate: between 66 and 100%), except for waist circumference (15%) and sputum examination (0%), and serum creatinine (58%, non-statutory item) were included in the smaller budget plan (8,500 yen) . In the larger budget plan (12,000 yen), the statutory items (selection rate: between 92 and 100%), except for waist circumference (39%) and sputum examination (0%), and some non-statutory items, namely serum creatinine (95%), leukocytes (92%), uric acid (89%), and fecal occult blood reaction (81%), had a selection rate over 80%. In addition, statutory items with higher accuracy were preferred, which included the following : air conduction pure-tone audiometry (92%), imaging diagnosis of thoracic X-ray examinations by a specialist (97%), glycated hemoglobin levels (98%), and electrocardiogram assessment by a specialist (100%).

Conclusion

The statutory items, except for waist circumference and sputum examination, and some of the non-statutory items (e.g., serum creatinine) were given higher priority among occupational physicians in Japan.
Compreendendo o papel dos orientadores pde: identidade, espaço e lugar
Authors: Hibarino Denise Akemi , Nodari Janice Inês
Published: September 2018

This paper aims at discussing the identity of English professors who are advisors in the Programa de Desenvolvimento Educacional from the state of Paraná and their perceptions regarding the aforementioned continuous teacher training program for basic education teachers. The qualitative-interpretive research (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2008) articulates contributions from Norton (1997; 2013) about identity and investment, with the notions of space and place provided by Tuan (2013). Frominterviews with the professors who are advisors in the program, it was possible to notice an awareness of the limitation of their agency, and a resulting discomfort from it. Such awareness impacts on the understanding of their identities and ontheir places as trainers who are in training as well.
Rastros de mudanças epistemológicas na área de português como língua adicional: o exame Celpe-Bras como um mecanismo de políticas linguísticas
Authors: Martins Alexandre Ferreira
Published: September 2018

The following text discusses the epistemological changes in the field of Portuguese as an Additional Language (PAL), in Brazil, in the years that preceded the establishment of the Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese for Foreigners (Celpe-Bras). Therefore, this exam is understood as a mechanism of de facto linguistic policies, related to the ideological model of linguistic policies by Shohamy (2006), considering an approach for its importance in the development of the field of PAL in Brazil. The debate pertaining to the epistemological changes, which are noticeable in academic publications, is revealed considering its relations with the theoretical postulates of the Celpe-Bras. These changes can be found mostly in thesis and dissertations selected based on the revision of the gathering of academic works performed by Furtoso (2015). This mechanism, from 1998 onwards, validates and expands the criticism and reinterpretation present in the production of the field, before its emergence. Its construction followed the epistemological changes of the area of study and systematized the main reflections concerning the proficiency in an additional language.
Tillich’s Kairos and its Trajectory
Authors: Stone Ronald
Published: September 2018

The author remembers, first of all, the history of the concept of Kairos in Tillich's thought, since the " Kairos Circle " of religious Socialists in Berlin, until its retelling in the Systematic Theology. Then it searches show how churches have tried to update the concept, to apply it to various political situations: the pursuit of peace at the end of the Viet Nam war (1980), the fight to end Apartheid in South Africa (1986), the liberation movement in Central America (1988), the critique of neoliberalism in Europe (1989) and the liberation of Palestine (2009), showing always relations to the thought of Paul Tillich.

As ambiguidades das imagens religiosas e da devoção aos santos no catolicismo já se manifestam na história da imagem e da devoção a Nossa Senhora Aparecida. Serão destacadas as ambiguidades da fé popular e da religião institucional, em particular os conflitos de interpretação entre as autoridades doutrinais e os fiéis, assim como a mistura de preocupações religiosas com interesses econômicos e políticos. Em seguida, será feita uma leitura dessas ambiguidades à luz da análise tillichiana das ambiguidades da religião: sagrado e profano, divino e demônico.
Opus operatum e opus operantis: quando a validade do direito se desconecta da virtude de quem o aplica
Authors: Simioni Rafael Lazzarotto
Published: September 2018

Esta pesquisa estabelece uma aproximação entre leitourgia e  jurisdictio, baseada na arqueologia do officium de Giorgio Agamben, para observar a correlação entre os processos históricos de legitimação simbólica do ministério sacerdotal litúrgico e das competências jurisdicionais. Pretendemos, com isso, oportunizar uma releitura da relação entre liturgia, jurisdição e política, de modo a desencadear uma reflexão crítica sobre as condições de inteligibilidade da separação entre sujeito e ator social, pessoa e cargo, indivíduo e função, decisão e organização. Como resultado, sinaliza-se a separação entre opus operatum e opus operantis, operada pelo Concílio de Trento em 1545, que tornou explícita a separação entre a virtude da obra e a virtude quem a realiza.

Novos odres para o sagrado vinho: Marià Corbí e os sem religião
Authors: Martins Filho José Reinaldo Felipe , Ecco Clóvis
Published: September 2018

Valendo-se de um diálogo com o pensamento do catalão Marià Corbí, o artigo que segue procura elucidar quais são as principais características da religião na contemporaneidade e, de modo especial, como compreender o fenômeno crescente de espiritualidades que se autointitulam “não religiosas” – como é o caso dos “crentes sem religião”, por exemplo. Para isso, demonstra a ambiguidade latente ao redor do termo “religião” e de como este era compreendido pelas sociedades ditas “pré-industriais”, nas quais vigorava uma leitura estanque do mundo, em que a religião era tomada como sinônimo de monopólio cultural, versus as sociedades dinâmicas – e/ou fluidas – do período “industrial”, cujo principal objetivo é a emancipação do indivíduo de quaisquer amarras que antes o mantinham sob sujeição. Considerando esta distinção, a religião do presente deveria ser considerada “não religiosa”, uma vez que se destina à configuração de um novo paradigma. Daí que o próprio uso da expressão “religião” mereça ser substituído por outras palavras tais como “espiritualidade”, “religiosidade”, entre outras, na tentativa de amenizar o peso da dimensão institucional antes evocada. Em suma, o fim das religiões, antevisto por muitos como o natural resultado do processo empreendido pelas sociedades em secularização, parece ter sido frustrado pelo advento das novas “espiritualidades” não religiosas. Estas que, por sua vez, permanecem como um constante desafio para a Teologia e as Ciências da Religião.
As texturas heterológicas: trajetórias místicas em Michel de Certeau
Authors: Reis Gustavo Soldati
Published: September 2018

O presente texto tem por objetivo analisar a concepção da categoria mística no pensamento do cientista da religião e historiador, o jesuíta francês Michel de Certeau. Com “trajetórias místicas” aponta-se, por hipótese, para três dimensões do discurso certeauniano acerca da mística: a trajetória autoral onde Certeau assume, em sua própria vida e produção textual um itinerário místico; a trajetória historiográfica, onde Certeau notabiliza-se por ler a história cultural do ocidente cristão (a partir das cisões causadas pelo início da modernidade - séculos XVI e XVII) em torno da linguagem e dos movimentos místicos e, por fim, a trajetória epistemológica, onde o intelectual francês toma a mística como categoria analítica central em sua produção de conhecimento para a análise da linguagem religiosa.
An innovative nephrology elective enhances learning in internal medicine residents
Authors: Roy Debajyoti , Soh Shui Boon , Ng Alvin
Published: September 2018

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background: Despite an increase in the number of chronic kidney disease patients, there is declining interest in careers in nephrology worldwide, including in Singapore. Singhealth is the largest sponsoring institution for residency in Singapore. A renal rotation is not a core internal medicine requirement of Singhealth, and it will be imperative for internists to help fill this gap. We report on an innovative nephrology elective which enhances learning in internal medicine trainees. Methods: The typical trainee was a 4th- or 5th-year internal medicine resident. The Kern six-step model was used to create and evaluate the course curriculum. The elective was of 4 weeks' duration and had both an inpatient and an outpatient component. An anonymized questionnaire was sent to the trainees to assess the learning value by comparing knowledge before and after the rotation. The trainees reported improvement in their ability to manage patients with kidney disease, fluid electrolyte disorders, and acid-base disorders (p<0.05). They were also more confident in their ability to teach these matters to junior doctors. Conclusions: The 4-week nephrology elective was found to greatly enhance learning in internal medicine residents. This format was also perceived favourably by IM residents, and might lead to more residents choosing careers in nephrology.
Edranol, Ettinger ve Wurtz avokado çeşitlerinin hasat dönemleri boyunca meyvelerinin bazı fiziksel ve kimyasal değişimlerinin belirlenmesi
Authors: BAYRAM Süleyman , TEPE Seyla
Published: September 2018

Türkiye’de avokado yetiştiriciliği, yüksek
pazar potansiyeline sahip olduğu için Akdeniz bölgesinde giderek
yaygınlaşmaktadır. Avokadonun pazar değerini, meyvenin hasat olgunluğu ve hasat
sonrası olgunlaşma süreci etkilemektedir. Avokadonun klimakterik özellik
göstermesi nedeniyle, farklı ekolojik koşullarda olgunluk kriterlerin
belirlenmesinin ticari önemi ve gerekliliği bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle;
ülkemizde yetiştirilen Edranol, Ettinger ve Wurtz çeşitlerinde, ekim ayından
başlamak üzere 15-20 gün aralıklarla meyve örnekleri alınarak, hasat ve
olgunlaşma sürecinde analizleri yapılmıştır. Her bir çeşidin meyve olgunluk
indeksinin tanımlanmasında, meyve etinin kuru ağırlık ve yağ içeriği, hala en
güvenilir sonuçları vermektedir. Bu indeks değerlerinin yetersiz kaldığı
durumlarda ise, diğer hasat sonu analizleri (tat, meyve eti sertliği ve meyve
ağırlık kaybı) olgunluk tespitinde yardımcı olmuştur. Sonuç olarak; erken
hasat, Edranol için ekim ayının ortasından ocak ayının başına kadar, Ettinger
için ekim ayı boyunca, Wurtz için ekim ayı ortasından ocak ayının ortasına
kadar devam eden dönem olarak belirlenmiştir. Optimum hasat, Edranol için ocak
başından nisan sonuna kadar, Ettinger için kasım başından ocak ortasına kadar
ve Wurtz için ocak ortasından nisan sonuna kadar süren dönem olarak
saptanmıştır. Geç hasat ise, Edranol için mayıs ayı boyunca, Ettinger için ocak
ortasından şubat ortasına kadar ve Wurtz için mayıs başından haziran başına
kadar devam eden dönem olarak kararlaştırılmıştır.
Contemplative Landscapes: Towards Healthier Built Environments
Authors: Olszewska-Guizzo Agnieszka
Published: September 2018

This review aims to show the current state of the knowledge in the area of the visual quality of landscapes in urbanized areas and their influence on people’s mental health and well-being. This falls under the passive recreation and passive exposure to the environmental stimuli present in our cities (such as walking in nature, quiet contemplation) as opposed to active interactions with the landscapes such as horticulture therapy, meditation, etc. Passive exposure to natural or built environments can shape our mental health patterns throughout the life cycle.Although we know that the quantity of green spaces in the cities can improve the well-being of city inhabitants and contact with natural environments can alleviate various psychological disorders, it is also likely that the quality of green spaces, including seemingly irrelevant landscape design nuances, can play a more important role for our mental health.Currently, one can observe a strong demand from policy makers for generating scientific evidence-based knowledge to provide recommendations for urban design and the maintenance of green spaces. The Contemplative Landscape Model (CLM) is an operationalised construct which includes aesthetic, environmental and mental health values of landscapes, and could serve as a useful tool to assist in the current need for knowledge. However, more research with an emphasis on causal relationships is needed.
A study on peripheral neuropathy in HIV infected patients: clinicoepidemiological and electrophysiological profile
Authors: Gunasekaran K. , Sivakumar S.
Published: September 2018

Background: Peripheral neuropathy is one among the commonest HIV-associated neurologic complications. The spectrum and the frequency of this complication are changing due to the introduction of new antiretroviral drugs, aging of the HIV-infected people, etc. Hence there is need for a better understanding of these complications and their pathogenesis. This study was done with the aim of finding out the risk factors, clinical characteristics and various types and patterns of peripheral neuropathy in HIV infected patients of our region.Methods: This study was a cross sectional study conducted for about a period of one year. Patients attending the out patient department of anti retroviral therapy (ART) centre were taken for the study. Selected patients were analysed for the signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy and they underwent electrophysiological study.Results: Prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in HIV infected patients in our study population was 43.3%. Peripheral neuropathy was seen more in patients with advanced clinical stage and increasing age. Distal symmetric polyneuropathy was the commonest type. Common pathological pattern of neuropathy was mixed (both axonal and demyelination) neuropathy.Conclusions: As peripheral neuropathy is a common HIV-associated neurologic complication, large number of studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms leading to peripheral neuropathy in HIV infected patients, which in turn will allow for the development of effective therapies that provide adequate symptomatic relief and halt or reverse the damage to the nerves.
Knowledge, attitude and practice of physicians towards oral anti-coagulants in Taif city, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alnemari Raghad , Banheem Ahmed , Mullaniazee Naeem , Alghamdi Saleh , Rajkhan Abdulmajeed , Basfar Omar , Basnawi Mohammed
Published: September 2018

Background: Thromboembolism is a common phenomenon of major significance. Oral anticoagulants have been used for decades, however, they were associated with many complications and different monitoring techniques. Therefore, novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) with better efficacy, lower adverse events, superior pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile were developed. Unfortunately, many of the physicians are still hesitant to prescribe these agents.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Taif city on 61 physicians from King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital and King Faisal Hospital in Taif. A questionnaire was given to participants to answer questions related to knowledge, attitude, and practice of prescription of KA and NOACs, indications of prescription, reasons for non-use, follow up methods adopted, follow up frequency, common adverse events encountered, awareness of new guidelines of NOACs, and providing patients with health education about their medications.Results: Only 69% of participants used NOACs on regular basis, whilst 100% used warfarin. Half of those who didn't prescribe NOACs attributed this to the non-availability of an antidote and fear of toxicity. Twenty-five% considered the NOACs new medications with inadequate clinical trials that make them trustable., and 17% did not prescribe them because of their non-availability at the hospital pharmacy. Only 66% used NOACs in treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Regarding knowledge, 71% of participants were aware of the new guidelines of NOACs, and 69% of institutions provided educational programs about these new agents. Major life-threatening bleeding was reported in 47.3% and 10.8% of patients on warfarin and NOACs, respectively.Conclusions: Physicians at Taif city in Saudi Arabia had a fairly good knowledge of NOACs. They prescribed them frequently and they were aware with the new guidelines and proper follow-up methods. However, more educational activities are recommended to encourage the rest of physician to use these agents and to correct their defective information about safety issues, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of NOACs, and adverse events.

En el Archivo de Música de la Catedral de Valladolid se conservan cuatro manuscritos encuadernados en muy buen estado, con signaturas Ms. 7, Ms. 8, Ms. 22 y Ms. 23. Se trata de cuatro fuentes únicas para el estudio de villancicos y cantatas, que fueron escritos por José Martínez de Arce, maestro de capilla en la catedral de Valladolid desde 1690 hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en diciembre de 1721.

Estos manuscritos, todavía poco estudiados, son una herramienta fundamental no solo para conocer más de 300 obras escritas en ellos por Martínez de Arce, sino también para fecharlas y, en última instancia, para conocer cómo funcionaba la mente del compositor a la hora de crear. Su estudio supone un reto, ya que el orden de las piezas que contienen es aparentemente aleatorio. Este artículo pretende dar a conocer en detalle estas fuentes, teniendo en cuenta tanto el continente como el contenido.

Гармоничное управление организацией на основе синтеза современных подходов в управлении и психологии
Authors: Тактарова Светлана Викторовна , Артемова Наталья Юрьевна
Published: September 2018

Мы живем в динамично меняющемся мире: в эпоху глобальных перемен на международных рынках, стремительных технологических преобразований. Каждый день мы можем наблюдать соседство, казалось бы, противоположных процессов – глобализация, интеграция и специализация; урбанизация, создание экосистем бизнеса, «умных заводов» (smart factory) и возрождение экопоселений. Однако, единство этих процессов создает определенную гармонию окружающего мира, стимулируя его дальнейшее развитие.
В статье предлагается посмотреть на организацию, прежде всего, как на живую экосистему, построенную на взаимоотношении людей. При этом для гармоничного развития данной системы можно использовать сочетание на первый взгляд противоположных подходов к управлению – стандартизацию ключевых бизнес-процессов и Аgile-подход, дополнив этот «микс» психологическим подходом к развитию организации на основе гештальт-терапии. Подобное сочетание направлено на стабилизацию качества в реализации ключевых процессов организации, мотивацию персонала на дальнейшее развитие и лояльность по отношению к организации и потребителям, а также на формирование здорового, сбалансированного микроклимата в коллективе - основу для дальнейшего позитивного развития.

В статье рассмотрены вопросы кредитования предприятий АПК, на основе субсидированных кредитов. Неравное распределение субсидий между микро и макро предприятиями вызывает много нареканий от руководителей аграрного сектора экономики. Министерство сельского хозяйства России с 2017 года изменило правила распределения субсидий, выделяя конкретную часть субсидий для малых сельхозпроизводителей. Вместо возмещения по выплатам процентов государство предложило льготные кредиты. Но появились проблемы с получением льгот по кредитам у довольно крупных предприятий, поскольку предлагаемые лимиты были недостаточными для предприятия, а деньги, выделенные на кредитование, быстро освоены. Автором проведен анализ государственной поддержки предприятий АПК из средств федерального бюджета, даны рекомендации по выделению кредитов аграриям.

The Influence of Temperature on the Degree of Bio-Oil Hydroupgrading over High-Loaded NiCu-SiO2 Catalyst at Low Hydrogen Content
Authors: Smirnov A. A. , Alekseeva M. V. , Bulavchenko O. A. , Yakovlev V. A.
Published: September 2018

The process of upgrading of pyrolysis bio-oil via hydrodeoxygenation was studied at 0.6 MPa hydrogen pressure and 150–350 °C in the presence of the NiCu-SiO2catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method. The catalyst resistance to agglomeration of the active component and to the carbon deposition on its surface was examined. The oxygen content in the liquid products of lignocellulose pyrolysis was shown to decrease from 37 to 15 wt.% as the process temperature rose. A CHNS-O analyzer was used to establish that the coke quantity on the catalyst surface at 350 °C decreased to one fourth of that at 150 °C. XPS studies revealed that the elevation of the process temperature led to progressive agglomeration of the particles followed by a decrease in their size at high temperature due to dissolution of the active components of the catalyst in the reaction medium.

Main characteristics of currently used industrial catalysts and an innovative catalyst MAK-K for dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol were compared. Main attention was paid to comparison of the activity and selectivity of MAK-K and the best catalyst H3-11 (BASF) at 220–270 °C and feed flow rate of 0.6–1.3 h–1. Similar behaviors were characteristic of both catalysts, the use of MAK-K being preferable at lower temperatures and higher feed flow rates. The MAK-K catalyst manufactured by LLC «NIAP-KATALIZATOR» was tested. The catalyst (1.4 m3) was loaded to a reactor for dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol at Shchekinoazot Co. and employed for more than 2000 h to demonstrate its high activity and selectivity. The catalyst was competitive against all the samples under study.

The process of dehydration of ethanol to ethylene at varied dimensions of an alumina ring catalyst was studied using the mathematical 2D model of the tube reactor to determine the equivalent size Req of the catalyst grain that, in turn, determine the efficiency η of the internal surface of the catalyst. The method was suggested for assigning grains with different dimensions to four structure groups depending on the procedure for preparation of samples with identical Req. The system of criteria for identification of catalyst grains with the best characteristics for the given conditions was developed based on the suggested approach. Grain dimensions and the other parameters providing the highest ethylene yield at the lowest pressure drop and shortest contact time were determined.

Objectives:
The study determines the effects of the hospitals ethical climate on the moral
sensitivity of nurses. Methods: The study design is descriptive and correlational. The data was obtained from 99 nurses who voluntarily
accepted to fully participate in the surveys conducted. The data was analysed
using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlations. Results: As a
result of the study, the ethical climate perception of nurses and their moral
sensitivity level was found to be above average. A positive, meaningful and
medium relationship was found between the moral sensitivity level of nurses and
ethical climate perceptions of nurses.

Conclusions: Our
findings support that the ethical climate perception of nurses is an important
factor in determining the moral sensitivity. Consequently, building an ethical
climate in all the hospitals that provide health care will result in a high
moral sensitivity of nurses when giving health care.

Authors: Vijayakumar G. , Sasikala K. , Sivaraman S. , Balasubramaniam G. A.
Published: September 2018

Twenty apparently healthy female cattle were selected for the study. Animals were withdrawn of feed and water for 48 hours. During this period, cattle were administered with dextrose normal saline (@10ml/ kg IV twice daily) and were subjected to endoscopy every 12 hours. Animals were restrained in a chute and no sedation was followed. Endoscopy was performed using Olympus™ [GIF V70] flexible video endoscope. The endoscope was passed through the ventral nasal meatus, the pharynx and oesophagus and then into the reticulo-rumen. The entire rumen could be visualized clearly only when the animals were off feed and water for at least 36-48 hours and in some animals the ingesta had to be removed by lavage. The rumen appeared as pink with numerous papillae throughout its surface with different shapes. The procedure was well tolerated by all the cattle and satisfactory ruminal images could be obtained including biopsy.

The extent of morphological variation among farmers’ varieties of urdbean was assessed using 21 DUS and 9 agronomic parameters. A set of 56 farmers’ varieties collected from different parts of the Andaman Islands were assessed for genetic diversity. Cluster analysis assigned farmers’ varieties into groups on the basis of agronomic performance rather than their origin and was identified 9 homogeneous clusters, it was able to separate 56 farmers’ varieties based on morphological and agronomic traits. Using cluster analysis by unweighted pair group with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) method and grouping of all farmers’ varieties exhibited the presence of wide genetic diversity by the formation of 9 clusters. Cluste- I had maximum number of farmers’ varieties i.e. 26 while, cluster VIII had only one (ANFVU-11-29). The pattern of distribution of farmers’ varieties into clusters assigned on the basis of agro-morphological performance and demonstrating that geographical isolation may not be the only factor causing genetic diversity. Intra cluster distance analysis revealed that minimum intra cluster distance was observed in cluster I. The maximum inter cluster distance has to be found in cluster VIII and IX. Therefore, it was concluded that more emphasis should be given on cluster I, II, VIII and IX for selecting farmers’ varieties as parents for crossing with the farmers’ varieties of cluster I which may produce new recombinants with desired traits.
Os impactos das inovações na diversificação da indústria brasileira: uma análise com base na Pintec e no Cempre
Authors: Kretzer Jucélio
Published: September 2018

O artigo tem por objetivo associar as diferenças no padrão de diversificação com as diferenças no padrão de inovação dos setores industriais brasileiros. A literatura neo-schumpeteriana preconiza que o estabelecimento de padrões setoriais de inovação influencia os ritmos e as direções da mudança tecnológica de forma distinta entre os setores. Trata-se de um estudo empírico, com base nas informações estatísticas da Pesquisa de Inovação (Pintec 2011) e do Cadastro Central de Empresas (Cempre 2010), para investigar a relação entre inovação e diversificação, no sentido de contribuir para o entendimento dos padrões setoriais de diversificação da indústria brasileira. Os resultados estatísticos sugerem que a introdução de inovações, em grande medida, tem levado as indústrias a uma concentração de suas linhas de negócios em atividades que guardam alguma ‘proximidade’ em suas funções de produção, independente das atividades inovativas. Notadamente, certos setores, como os ‘baseados em ciência’, assumem comportamentos típicos de ‘diversificação baseada em atividades tecnológicas’.

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which damages tissues and causes chronic inflammation with an idiopathic etiology. It has been suggested that oral lesions in patients with SLE can be grouped clinically as erythema, discoid lesions and oral ulcerations. The latter have been said to indicate the onset of a severe systemic disease flare and that oral ulcers represent cases of mucosal vasculitis. Palatal lesions generally present in the form of ulcers or, in more severe forms, as perforation. Acquired palatal perforations can be caused by several etiologies including: developmental disorders, malignancy and infections. Purpose: To report the management of palatal perforation in an SLE patient. Case: A 14-year-old female patient attended the Dr. Ramelan Naval Hospital, with both a perforated palate that often caused her to choke when eating or drinking and maxillary anterior tooth mobility. Case Management: The treatment for the patient in this case consisted of debridement and DHE, pharmacological therapy including aloclair gel and minosep mouthwash to maintain oral hygiene and prevent re-infection. At the end of the first consultation, the patient was prescribed an obturator in order to avoid oro-anthral infection. During the second consultation, the patient’s orthodontic bracket was removed to facilitate scaling and splinting of the anterior maxillary teeth carried out to prevent their movement. During the third consultation, a swab was taken by an oral surgeon who also administered antifungal therapy. During the fourth and final consultation, the patient was examined a prosthodontic specialist due to an obturator which was causing discomfort. Conclusion: The management of palatal perforation lesions in an SLE patient requires a multidisiplinary approach.

Published: September 2018

Background: Tooth extraction is a common procedure in dentistry after which the residual ridge will no longer receive stimulus leading to volume, height and width loss. These anatomical changes can then result in difficulties with future denture fabrication and implant placement. Preservation of the alveolar ridge, therefore, assumes considerable importance after tooth extraction. Moringa oleifera, on the other hand, can enhance bone formation. Type-1 collagen is a marker of osteoblast formation. Purpose: This research aimed to analyze the effects of Moringa oleifera leaf extract combined with DFBBX on type-1 collagen expressions in tooth extraction sockets. Methods: 56 Cavia cobaya subjects were divided into eight groups. Their lower left incisors were then extracted prior to the sockets of the first and fifth groups being filled with PEG, those of the second and sixth groups with DFBBX, those of the third and seventh groups with Moringa oleifera leaf extract and a combination of DFBBX and Moringa oleifera leaf extract in those of the fourth and eighth groups. The sockets were then examined on days 7 and 30 by means of an immunohistochemical technique. The data collected was subsequently subjected to analysis by One Way Anova and Tukey HSD tests. Results: There were significant differences between the control group and the treatment group administrated with Moringa oleifera leaf extract combined with DFBBX. On days 7 and 30, the groups treated with the combination of DFBBX and Moringa oleifera leaf extract had the highest number of type-1 collagen expressions. Conclusion: A combination of DFBBX and Moringa oleifera leaf extract is effective in increasing type-1 collagen expressions in tooth extraction sockets.
Risk Factors of Stunting Among Children in Some Areas in Indonesia: A Literature Review
Authors: Pratiwi Intan Gumilang , Wahyuningsih Retno
Published: September 2018

Stunting is a malnutrition condition that caused by long-term insufficient nutrient intake. In 2010, the number of stunting in Indonesia reached 42.38%. In 2013, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia amounted to 37.2%. The highest occurrence comes from East Nusa Tenggara with more than 50% of the children are stunted. The method used in this paper is Literature Review. We use keyword Risk Factor and Stunting in online resources such as Science Direct, Proquest, PubMed, Google Scholar and another related website. Many risk factors affect stunting in Indonesia. Stunting is caused by multi-dimensional factors and not only caused by malnutrition factors experienced by pregnant women and children under five. Some of the cases described above have contributed to the high prevalence of stunting in Indonesia and therefore a comprehensive intervention plan is required to reduce stunting prevalence in Indonesia.

Evidence has recently emerged on the influence of gender on the immune system. In this systematic review and meta-analysis of phase III randomized clinical trials (RCTs), we explored the impact of gender on survival in patients with advanced cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We performed a comprehensive search of the literature updated to April 2018, including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, and EMBASE. We extracted data on study characteristics and risk of bias in duplicate. Of 423 unique citations, 21 RCTs were included, inherently to 12,635 patients. Both males and females showed reduced risk of death associated with ICIs use (HR 0.73, p<0.001 and HR 0.77, p<0.001, respectively). Subgroup analyses by specific ICI showed similar OS in both genders for anti-PD-1/PDL-1. Anti-CTLA-4 use was associated with longer OS in men only (HR 0.77, p<0.012), with the exception of melanoma (in women, HR 0.80, p=0.006). PFS was longer in men than in women (HR 0.67, p<0.001 and HR 0.77, p=0.100, respectively). Conclusively, ICIs use was associated with more favorable outcomes in men, particularly for anti-CTLA-4 agents. In melanoma, not gender-related factors may influence the anti-tumor immune response evoked by ICIs.
