Authors: Sangani Alireza , Jangi Paria
Published: February 2020

Background and aims: The main problems of children with learning disabilities are in cognition and their sensations. This study aimed to investigate the comparison of working memory and sensory profile in boys and girls with writing disability. Methods: The methodology of this descriptive study was the comparative type. The statistical population of this study was all girls and boys by the age of 8-10 suffering from the writing disability in Gorgan City during treatment in a writing disability center in summer of 2018. According to the research method, the stratified random sampling method was used and 50 boys and 58 girls were selected from each group. According to research tools, the Dunn profile (1999) was obtained from the parents of the children. In the area of Daneman, & Carpenter working memory (1980), questions were asked from the children directly, and the information related to processing and storage in their memory were received. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance analysis using SPSS24 software. Results: Descriptive findings showed that mean and standard deviation in boys and girls were respectively in Processing (50.32±6.93, 54.22±7.45), Storage (48.47±6.08, 53.17±6.07), Indoctrination associated with the physical state of the body motion (34.28±7.09, 36.91±6.48), Multisensory processing (34.68±5.21, 37.94±6.57), Auditory Processing (31.74±5.84, 35.52±6.59). Also the results indicate that there is a significant difference in the writing disability among processing (P<0.006) and storage (P<0.000) of working memory subscales and the Indoctrination associated with the physical state of the body motion (P<0.000), Multisensory processing (P<0.000) and Auditory Processing (P<0.002), of the sensory profile variable in both the girls and boys with writing disability. Conclusion: with regard to the results obtained, it can be concluded that the boys group is in worse conditions in working memory and sensory processing styles, which requires a special attention and more focused educational approaches.
Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms rs72525532, rs45596738, rs148759216, rs188133936, and rs114627122 of APOA5 gene in children and adolescents with metabolic syndrome

Published: February 2020

Background and aims: The APOA5 gene is one of the genes involved in metabolic syndrome (MetS), as a constellation of several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. The present study evaluated the possible associations between five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the microRNA target site (miR-TS-SNPs) of the APOA5 gene with MetS. Methods: This case-control study included 57 MetS cases, along with 59 normal children and adolescents aged 9-18 years. All miR-TSSNPs rs188133936, rs72525532, rs45596738, rs148759216, and rs114627122 were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-sequencing. Independent t-test, as well as the chi-square test and logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association of SNPs with MetS risk and its clinical components. Results: The mean (SD) age of MetS participants and controls was 12.35 (0.25) and 13.39 (0.38) years, respectively. Although no nucleotide changes were present in rs188133936, rs45596738, rs148759216, and rs114627122, a greater frequency of A insertion was detected in rs72525532 in MetS cases compared with the control group (P=0.012). This variant showed a significant difference in triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) levels between different genotype groups (P<0.0001 and P=0.05, respectively) in controls. Furthermore, AA insertion genotype was correlated with an increased risk of MetS (Odds ratio [95% CI] = 8.12 [0.966-68.27], P=0.05). Conclusion: This study was the first to investigate the association between rs188133936, rs45596738, rs148759216, rs76463524, and rs72525532 variants of the APOA5 gene and MetS. Our findings reveal that rs72525532 might have an impact on TG, HDL levels, and the risk of MetS

Published: February 2020

Background and aims: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the main causes of death worldwide and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery accounts for 1.4% of all operating room procedures. Considering the importance of the above-mentioned issue, the present study aimed to assess CAD risk factors in CABG patients to provide more accurate information for health authorities. Methods: To this end, data of all patients with isolated primary on-pump CABG were collected from March 2014 to March 2016. The major risk factors of CAD were recorded as a history of cigarette smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), advanced age, a family history of CAD, obesity, and male gender. Statistical analyses were performed by SPSS using a t test, as well as the chi-square and Fisher exact tests, and the P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: During a 24-month period, 895 patients underwent isolated primary on-pump CABG in the only open-heart surgery center in the West Azerbaijan province of Iran. The mean age of the patients was 60.4±10.3 years (within the range of 40 to 93 years). In addition, most of the patients amounting to 525 cases (58.7%) were in the age group of 55-70 years and had two or more risk factors. Further, 98.8% of males (age ≥45) and 68.2% of females (age ≥ 55) were old, and 73.3% and 26.7% of the patients were men and women, respectively. Furthermore, risk factors such as hypertension, cigarette-smoking, DM, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and family history were observed in 53.3%, 47.9%, 37.8%, 28.5%, 61.1%, and 19.3% of the patients, respectively. As regards gender, the prevalence of coronary risk factors like hypertension (60.7 vs. 50.6%, P=0.005), DM (51.9 vs. 32.6%, P=0.001), hypercholesterolemia (43.5 vs. 23%, P=0.001), and obesity (68.2 vs. 58.5%, P=0.005) were higher in women but other factors such as smoking (19.2 vs. 58.4%, P=0.001) and positive family history (14.6 vs. 21%, P=0.01) were higher in men. Conclusion: Overall, the prevalence of most risk factors was more common among under 55-year group, especially in women, and this is a warning for increasing CADs in the future

Published: February 2020

Background and aims: The purpose of this quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study was to determine the effectiveness of reflexology on self-reported back pain compared to placebo (massage) and control among cricketers. Methods: The volunteer participants consisted of 45 male cricket players who had been training at least for three years with a mean age of 18.481±2.32 years, mean body mass of 64.31±7.65, mean height of 174±5.39 cm, and a mean body mass index of 21.07± 1.97 kg/m². Cricketers were trained at Chandigarh and Mohali (India) cricket stadiums and participated in Interstate competition 2017. Cricketers were randomly assigned to reflexology, placebo, and control treatment groups. The reflexology group received topical pressure applied to their feet using a specific reflex area believed to have an effect on back pain. In addition, the placebo group received a foot massage avoiding reflexology area and control group received back pain information. Pre- and post-treatment interviews were conducted after one week (7 sessions). Each treatment was administered for 15 minutes as well. To determine the degree of the effect of reflexology on back pain, multiple regressions, and the factorial ANOVA and ANCOVA were used to analyze the hypotheses. Results: Both reflexology (P<0.001) and massage (P<0.001) treatments resulted in reducing the pain compared to providing back pain information, and there were significant differences between the reflexology and placebo groups (P<0.001). Finally, the results indicated that reflexology may have a positive effect on back pain. Conclusion: Overall, foot reflexology, as an avenue for human touch, can be performed anywhere, requires no special equipment, is noninvasive, and does not interfere with patients’ privacy. However, an adequately powered trial is required before any more definitive pronouncements are possible.

Published: February 2020

Background and aims: Intermuscular lipolysis disorder plays an important role in insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus and perilipin PLIN5 and PLIN3 are the key proteins in regulating muscle cellular lipolysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the expression of PLIN3 and PLIN5 protein following endurance training in streptozotocin (STZ) rats. Methods: A number of 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into low endurance training group (n = 8), high-intensity training group (n = 8), and control group (n = 8). Diabetes was induced in every rat by STZ injection. Three days after injection, the blood samples were taken from the cut tip of the tails of the mice and animals with blood glucose greater than 300 mg/dL were considered diabetic. The training program included eight weeks of aerobic training at different intensities. Training in high- and low-intensity groups included 22-25 and 5-8 m/min of training. Finally, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlation was used to determine the significance of the differences between variables, followed by utilizing Tukey’s post-hoc test for significance. Results: The comparison between the groups by ANOVA showed significant differences in PLIN3 (P=0.0006) and PLIN5 (P=0.012). The results of Tukey post hoc test also demonstrated a statistical difference between the mean values of diabetic control group and high-intensity endurance group regarding PLIN3 (P=0.01) and PLIN5 (P=0.009), but no significant increase was observed in the lowintensity exercise group as compared to the control group (PLIN3, P=0.067 & PLIN5, P=0.44). As regards insulin resistance, there was a significant difference among the three groups (P=0.0001). Eventually, the result of the correlation between PLIN3 and PLIN5 showed similar enhancement by increasing the intensity (P=0.0026). Conclusion: According to research results, high-intensity endurance training increased the expression of PLIN3 and PLIN5 in diabetic specimens and PLIN3 and PLIN5 followed a similar increase pattern in high-intensity training
Public Policies in Favelas and the Production of Urban Inequalities in Rio De Janeiro
Authors: Da Cunha Neiva Vieira
Published: February 2020

In the past three decades, we have witnessed the worldwide development of new economic dynamics that have intensified the most perverse and harmful effects of globalization processes. The global economy has increasingly produced intense social vulnerability and has driven a large number of people out of the center of the economic and social order (Sassen, 2016). This economic model responds to a logic of financialization of all domains of social life, imposed by different political choices and decisions that result in the degradation of working conditions and the increase of precariousness and insecurity throughout the world (Harvey, 1985). These consequences are not new and have already been described and analyzed by authors such as Serge Paugam (1991), Robert Castel (1995), and Didier Fassin (1996), among others. However, as Saskia Sassen (2016) points out, in a broader sense, this logic of financialization and production of new inequalities underway in the contemporary world can be seen as a more profound systemic underlying tendency that articulates realities that unite us. They often seem disconnected, and their modes of action, which can be characterized by their complexity, may include different dynamics and even coexist with economic growth.

Published: February 2020

A 35-year-old female presented to us with anterior bowing of her right tibia. The deformity developed in her adolescence and subsequently had not progressed for nearly two decades. The patient had no functional limitation, her only concern being cosmesis. Radiological investigations suggested either fibrous dysplasia or adamantinoma. Biopsy showed fibrous stroma consisting of myxofibrous tissue and woven bone which was confirmatory of fibrous dysplasia. Keeping in mind that it was a dormant benign lesion not hindering with functionality of the limb, it was decided to keep the patient under observation with regular follow-up.

Considering the need for cars in big cities is increasing and the price of 4-wheeled vehicles is relatively expensive, used cars are a good alternative solution to offer. But in business we cannot just buy stock for a car showroom, for example, especially with a limited budget, car showroom entrepreneurs must do a thorough analysis to save the budget to open a showroom and prevent losses. This article helps open the car showroom to determine which cars are suitable as stock to be displayed in the showroom with the parameters of buying, maintenance, doors, boot lugs, and safety. That predicted using 1728 artificial neural network methods data obtained from the UCI repository with a fairly high degree of accuracy that is equal to 98.26%. This is quite efficient compared to the showroom owner who must conduct a survey in advance and ask 1 per 1 person to survey the interest in receiving a car.

Authors:   Beshentsev A.N., Tsibudeyeva D.T.
Published: February 2020

The advantages of the basin approach in the study of regional water use are justified in the article, water management areas according to the water management division of the Russian Federation were used as territorial units of the study. A universal methodic for the integrated assessment of the region’s water management activities was developed, based on geo/information technology. Stages of the study are described, including water management of the area, ranking based on the total anthropogenic load on water bodies and river basins, zoning of the territory to optimize the target use of water resources. The GIS of water use of the Lake Baikal basin is developed on the basis of governmental statistics, mass media examples of organization of water management data, as well as the results of automated mapping of water bodies. The results of water management regionalization are presented and spatial regularities of water use organization in the investigated territory are revealed. The ranking of river basins and water bodies according to the degree of anthropogenic load has been carried out, ecological problems of the region have been identified and their spatial localization has been fixed, the exact locations of pollution sources and their influence on water management have been established. Zoning of the territory under study for targeted use of water resources was proposed, five unique zones were identified, differentiated according to the special conditions for the formation of water resources and the specific use of water bodies, as well as the nature and intensity of the current and forecasted water use. A set of measures to optimize water use within the zones of targeted use of water resources is proposed.
Assessment of the Anthropogenic Factors’ Impact Upon the Azerbaijan Rivers’ Annual Runoff
Authors:   Imanov F.A., Aliyeva I.S.
Published: February 2020

The article applies a water resources use coefficient and a map of its distribution to assess comprehensively the anthropogenic factors’ impact upon annual runoff of the rivers of Azerbaijan. We used the observation data for 27 rivers. By comparison we have assessed changes of many-year average annual water flows up to 1972 and for the 1973 - 2011/2016 period. We found that anthropogenic decrease of transboundary and national Azerbaijan rivers annual runoff resulted in different degree water stress. At that the number of rivers with high level of water stress (Кисп = 20–40 %) is significantly greater. The annual runoff decrease of many local rivers caused by water withdrawal for irrigation purposes is accompanied with the water content decrease during the summer/fall low water periods up to the rivers’ drying up. We noted that the volume of the permissible water abstraction should be normalized to secure permissible values of ecological river runoff in order to provide rational use of national river water.

The article considers the long-term dynamics of organic matter, biogenic and toxic elements in the reservoirs of the Lower Volga (Saratov and Volgograd) and the Ural River (Iriklinskoe), differing in geographical location, morphometric and hydrological characteristics. In the Ural reservoir, in contrast to the Lower Volga reservoirs, lower concentrations of mineral nitrogen, silicon, as well as indicators characterizing allochtonic organic matter, and a higher level of total and easily oxidable organic matter are recorded. There are differences in the seasonal and spatial dynamics of the ingredients. Despite the differences in the hydrochemical regime of the reservoirs under study, the synchronicity of the main indicators characterizing the trophic status of the aquatic ecosystem (total, easily oxidable and allochthonic organic matter, and nitrate nitrogen), as well as the amount of water flow through the corresponding hydroelectric facilities was revealed. Studies of the structure of a multidimensional array of general hydro/chemical indicators by the method of principal components revealed the universality of the processes occurring in reservoir ecosystems, the basis of which is surface runoff and seasonal changes.

Published: February 2020

The article deals with statistical processing of monitoring data for the content of trihalomethanes in drinking water of one of the infiltration Ufa water intakes. Using the methods of mathematical statistics, the following parameters were revealed: the distribution density of the total content of trihalomethanes in drinking water, the likelihood of occurrence of adverse events associated with the formation of trihalomethanes as a result of the chlorination of drinking water. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the most common concentrations of the total content of trihalomethanes lie in the range 5.8-8.1 μg / dm3. It was found that the distribution density of the total concentration of trihalomethanes is described by the power dependence ρ (TGM) = 0.348 × Q-2.18 (confidence level R2 = 0.94). It was concluded that the situation at the selected infiltration water intake can be considered favorable, since with a probability of 99%, the total concentration of THM does not exceed 18.03 μg / dm3 with an available maximum concentration of 100 μg / dm3.

تحولات مفهوم الإنسان في فلسفة الحداثة وفلسفة ما بعد الحداثة من مأزق إنسان التأليه إلى مأزق إنسان التشويه
Authors: كيحل مصطفى
Published: February 2020

يعالج هذا البحث إشكالية التحولات التي تكتنف مفهوم الإنسان، لا سيما في عصر الحداثة، وعصر ما بعد الحداثة، ونـزعة الإنسية التي رسَّخت أيديولوجية التمركز حول الإنسان. وللإحاطة المنهجية والمعرفية بتلك التحولات، فقد تتبَّعنا مفهوم الأنسنة ومضامينه الفلسفية لتحديد أهم مستوياته الدلالية في بُعْدها الديني، والسياسي، والثقافي. وتمَّ استدعاء تصوُّر الإنسية الإسلامية التي لا تُمثِّل خروجاً على الدِّين، ولا تقطع مع المتعالي. كما تم تحليل المضامين الجديدة للأنسنة في مجال البيوتكنولوجيا التي أعلنت عن عصر جديد هو عصر ما بعد الانسان، الذي يتمُّ فيه التحكُّم في الحياة، والسيطرة على نقائص الطبيعة البشرية بالتقانة العلمية؛ والنظر فيما قد يترتَّب على ذلك من مخاطر على الطبيعة الإنسانية.

This paper deals with the problem of the transformations that surround the concept of Man, especially in the age of modernity, postmodern, and humanism that established the ideology of human centeredness. To understand the methodology and knowledge of these transformations, we have followed the concept of humanism and its philosophical implications to determine the most important semantic levels in its religious, political, and cultural dimension. This work has called for the concept of Islamic humanism, which does not depart from religion, and does not cut off with transcendence. It also employed an analysis of the new implications of humanism in the field of biotechnology, which proclaimed a new era of post-human age in which life and defects of human nature are controlled, through scientific implications, and consider the consequent risks that may affect human nature.
معالم تجديد الفكر الأخلاقي ونقد القيمة في الفكر المغاربي المعاصر

Published: February 2020

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى هدفين: الأول نقض ما تشير إليه بعض الدراسات عن ضحالة الدرسات الأخلاقية في المجال العربي بالمقارنة مع مثيلاتها في الفكر الغربي؛ إذ نجد بحوثاً مقدرة في المشرق العربي تتضمن جهود عبد الله دراز، وعبد الرحمن بدوي، وأحمد أمين، وماجد فخري، وغيرهم، وبحوثاً مقدرة كذلك في المغرب العربي تتضمن جهود مالك بن نبي، ومحمد أركون، ومحمد عابد الجابري، ومحمد عزيز الحبابي، وطه عبد الرحمن، وأبي يعرب المرزوقي، وغيرهم.

والهدف الثاني: التأكيد على أنّ أزمة الإنسانية المعاصرة هي أزمة أخلاقية أساساً، وأنَّ العلاج ينبغي أنْ يكون من جنس الأزمة؛ أي حلاً أخلاقياً، ولعلَّ هذا ما يُفسِّر الاهتمام المتعاظم بالشأن الأخلاقي في كلا الفكرين؛ الغربي والعربي، ومثلما يُقدِّم الأول إسهامه الخاص به، يُقدِّم الثاني إسهامه انطلاقاً من تجاربه ونصوصه التراثية.

The purpose of this study is twofold, firstly to refute the idea of what some studies refer to as a scarcity of moral studies in Arab thought compared to those in Western thought. We find significant research work in the Arab East that include efforts of Abdullah Daraz, Abdul Rahman Badawi, Ahmad Amin, Majid Fakhri, , As well as other research work in the Arab West including the efforts of Malik bin Nabi, Mohammed Arkoun, Mohamed Abed Al-Jabri, Mohamed Aziz Al-Hababi, Taha Abdul Rahman, Abu Yarub Al-Marzouki and others.

Secondly to illustrate the nature of the crisis of contemporary humanity, which is essentially a moral crisis, and that the treatment should be of the sage nature; i.e., to emphasize the need for ethical solution. This may explain the growing interest in moral issues in Western thought which provides its own contribution, and Arab thought, which provides its contribution based on its experience and heritage texts.

Published: February 2020

Kereta Api Ringan (LRT/ Light Rapid Transit) merupakan salah satu angkutan massal yang efektif dalam mengatasi masalah transportasi di perkotaan. Kendaraan jenis ini akan digunakan secara luas untuk transportasi perkotaan nasional baik di Jawa maupun luar Jawa. Dalam rancang bangun struktur badan Kereta Api Ringan dari bahan aluminum banyak digunakan sambungan-sambungan las. Kualitas lasan dan kekuatan mekanik sambungan aluminium tersebut menjadi masalah ketika diminta jaminan kepastian keandalannya, karena untuk rancang bangun ini harus memperhatikan aspek “Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety” (RAMS). Oleh karena itulah guna verifikasi kualitas hasil pengelasan perlu dilakukan penelitian melalui serangkaian pemeriksaan pada daerah sambungan lasan yang beresiko mengalami kerusakan/ patah. Dalam penelitian ini dpilih metode uji tak merusak (Non-Destructive Test) guna pemeriksaan benda uji sambungan las aluminium yang akan digunakan pada struktur Kereta Api Ringan. Hasil pemeriksaan visual terlihat ada ketidaksesuaian pengelasan pada bagian root pass (tidak sesuai dengan tabel standar acuan). Sementara itu, hasilpemeriksaan radiography juga telah semakin memperjelas indikasi ketidaksesuaian tersebut.

Penunjuk arah merupakan media visual yang sangat penting di dalam menyampaikan informasi mengenai suatu arah tujuan. Umumnya penunjuk arah memiliki dua unsur yaitu simbol dan huruf. Dua simbol pokok ini dapat saja tidak dipergunakan salah satunya akan tetapi sangat baik jika dipergunakan bersamaan. Kedua unsur ini akan mempertegas sekaligus mempermudah pemahaman bagi masyarakat di dalam mempersepsikan simbol dan huruf ke arah mana tujuan perjalanan mereka. Di dalam konteks daerah atau suatu lokasi wisata, penunjuk arah memiliki fungsi yang sangat penting yaitu sebagai media informasi agar para pengunjung suatu objek wisata tidak kebingungan dalam mencari jalan atau menuju kepada titik-titik penting lokasi yang ingin mereka kunjungi. Sebagaimana di objek wisata Monkey Forest di Desa Padang Tegal, Ubud, di areal yang sangat luas ini terdapat beberapa titik penting objek wisata, sedangkan penunjuk arah sebelumnya memuat banyak bahasa asing sehingga hurufnya menjadi kecil, begitu juga dalam simbol-simbol yang dihadirkan perlu untuk dirancang ulang agar memperjelas sekaligus mempertegas huruf penunjuk arah. Oleh karenanya pada pengabdian ini, jurusan Desain Komunikasi Visual Sekolah Tinggi Desain Bali melakukan kegiatan pengabdian dengan merancang ulang simbol dan penunjuk arah di Monkey Forest agar informasi yang disampaikan berupa simbol dan hurufnya mampu berkomunikasi secara efektif kepada pengunjung objek wisata.

In this paper, a non-linear mathematical model is proposed with the thought of treatment to depict the spread of infectious illness and assessed with three contamination stages. We talk about the dynamical behaviour and analytical study of the framework for the mathematical model which shows that it has two non-negative equilibrium points i.e., disease-free equilibrium (DFE) and interior(endemic) equilibrium. The outcomes show that the dynamical behaviour of the model is totally determined by the basic reproduction number. For the basic reproduction number , the disease-free equilibrium is locally as well as globally asymptotically stable under a particular parameter set. In case , the model at the interior equilibrium is locally as well as globally asymptotically stable. Finally, numerical solutions of the model corroborate the analytical results and facilitate a sensitivity analysis of the model parameters.

Hypoglycaemia symptoms vary between individual and across episodes making it difficult for the patients to realize if they are having a hypoglycaemia. Therefore, the ability to detect the onset of hypoglycaemia is important for quick corrective action. In this paper, we describe a Bayesian hierarchical model which is able to quantify the consistency of reporting symptoms by individual patient and simultaneously investigate patient-specific covariates affecting the consistency. The model is developed within a Bayesian framework using Markov chain Monte Carlo methodology where the consistency parameter is estimated via Gibbs sampling. The association between patient-specific covariates and consistency is investigated using generalized linear model before implementing the stepwise regression to identify the best predictive model. The results obtained show that symptoms classified as autonomic and neuroglycopenic are prominent in detecting the onset of hypoglycaemia. No patient-specific covariate appears to be significantly affecting patients reporting' consistency. However, the best predictive model obtained contains covariates gender, type of diabetes, retinopathy, serum angiotensin converting enzyme and C-peptide.The hierarchical model developed allows researchers to estimate patient’s consistency in reporting symptoms and identify factors affecting it under one setting.
