Published: November 2019

Abstract
The objective of the present study was the optimization of the parameters affecting the hydrodistillation of Ruta chalepensis L. essential oil using response surface design type Box-Behnken. After an appropriate choice of three parameters, 15 experiments were performed leading to a mathematical second-degree model relating the response function (yield of essential oil) to parameters and allowing a good control of the extraction process. The realization of the experiments and data analysis was carried out by response surface methodology (RSM). A deduced second-order polynomial expression was used to determine the optimal conditions necessary to obtain a better essential oil yield. These optimized operating conditions were: a granulometry of 2 mm, a condensation-water flow rate of 3.4 mL/min and an extraction time of 204 min. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicates that the generated second-order polynomial model was highly significant with R2=0.9589 and P<0.006. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of essential oil extracted from the Ruta chalepensis L. aerial parts revealed the presence of 2-undecanone, 2-nonanone and 2-decanone as major components.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The aquatic ecosystem of the Meskiana Valley (wilaya of Oum El Bouaghi) covers a large area with a permanent flow and a semi-arid climate characterized by a strong evapotranspiration. In order to determine the Physico-chemical quality, pollution and salinity of the water of the river of Meskiana and more particularly in its downstream part which is exposed to wastewater discharges, analyses were carried out at the level of three sampling points: witness, the upstream (before spill), downstream (after spill)). In order to prevent the risk of alkalization and salinization of soil, the sodium absorption rate (SAR) and the percentage of sodium were determined and represented on the Wilcox and Riverside diagram. The high concentrations of polluting chemical elements and excessive salinity obtained at the downstream site show a high risk of pollution and salinization.

Interpretation of the Miocene fossils in the Strymon basin in Northern Greece to determine their habitat
Authors: Beratis Ioannis 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The sedimentary sequences of the upper Miocene in the Strymon basin in Northern Greece are composed of sedimentary rocks and are separated on an entirely new lithostratigraphic shape. Fossil-fauna has been collected from specific parts of the described geological sections, which mainly include mollusks from Bivalvia and Gastropoda. From laboratory research on the micro-fauna and micro-flora a number of taxonomic units of Foraminifera were determined and representatives of Actinozoa, Bryozoa, Crinoidea, Ostracoda, Otolithus, Diatomeae and Charophyta were found, which give a more-complete biostratigraphical image of the sediments. Based on these investigations with the use of the biofacial analysis, through the study of palaeoecology data of the fossils, three basic types of palaeohabitat and development of organisms were identified and a new palaeogeographic interpretation of the depositional environments in the Miocene basin is given.

Authors: Skackauskiene Ilona , Vilkaite-Vaitone Neringa 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
There is an increasing interest among academics, top managers, stakeholders regarding green marketing and its potential to improve environmental performance. Considering the prominence green marketing has risen to in recent decades, it is surprising to note that marketing literature has drawn relatively limited attention to evaluation of green marketing performance at the level of business unit. Therefore, the aim of this article is to investigate methodological background for the evaluation of green marketing performance. Using multi-source data, the authors have found out that it is possible to ground the evaluation of green marketing performance on different methods, criteria and scales used for the evaluation of green marketing. The contribution of the present research focuses on suggesting well-founded guidelines for the evaluation of green marketing performance in a modern organisation. The study suggests evaluating performance of green marketing at strategic, tactical and operational levels.

Summary

Background
This study planned to investigate the relationship of dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis with the prognosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Methods
80 patients who had been diagnosed with MDS between 2012 and 2017 and who were older than 18 were included in the study together with 80 healthy control subjects. The MDS diagnosis was confirmed using bone marrow aspiration-biopsy immunostaining. Dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels were examined.

Results
The average IMA (0.71±0.08 vs. 0.67±0.09; p=0.002), median disulfide (18.0 vs. 11.6; p<0.001), median disulfide/native thiol (6 vs. 3; p<0.001), and median disulfide/total thiol (5.4 vs. 2.9; p<0.001) were found higher in the MDS patients compared to control group, and the median hemoglobin, median white blood cell count, median neutrophil count, median lymphocyte count, average native thiol (290.7±48.5 vs. 371.5±103.8; p<0.001), average total thiol (328.2±48.9 vs. 393±105.5; p<0.001), and average native thiol/total thiol (%) (88.3±4.3 vs. 94.2±2.1; p<0.001) were found to be low. Risk factors such as collagen tissue disease (HR:9.17; p=0.005), MDS-EB-1 (HR:10.14; p=0.032), MDS-EB-2 (HR:18.2; p=0.043), and disulfide/native thiol (HR:1.17; p=0.023) were found as the independent predictors anticipating progression to acute myeloid leukemia. In the Cox regression model, risk factors such as age (HR:1.05; p=0.002), MDS-EB-1 (HR:12.58; p<0.001), MDS-EB-2 (HR:5.75; p=0.033), disulfide/native thiol (HR:1.14; p=0.040), and hemoglobin (HR:0.64; p=0.007) were found as predictors anticipating for mortality.

Conclusions
We can argue that dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis could have significant effects on both the etiopathogenesis and the survival of patients with MDS, and it could be included in new prognostic scoring systems.
The role of the precedent phenomenon in creating a language game in the headlines of political media discourse
Authors: Natalia Pogrebnyak 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The precedent phenomenon is estimated as a productive source for creating the language game in the headlines of political media discourse. Headlines based on a language game draw the attention of the reader more quickly. There are often used precedent phenomena, understood as culturally loaded signs, known to a major part of the representatives of the same national community. That is a precedent phenomenon that may serve multiple purposes. We have focused on its effect applied in the headings. The coincidence of the background knowledge of the author and the reader contributes to the hidden influence on the images of politicians formed in the mind of the reader.
The interpretation of singular nouns in the scope of an event-distributive quantifier
Authors: Gulgowski Piotr 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Singular nouns in the scope of a distributive operator have been shown to be treated as conceptually plural (Patson and Warren, 2010). The source of this conceptual plurality is not fully clear. In particular, it is not known whether the concept of plurality associated with a singular noun originates from distributing over multiple objects or multiple events. In the present experiment, iterative expressions (distribution over events) were contrasted with collective and distributive sentences using a Stroop-like interference technique (Berent, Pinker, Tzelgov, Bibi, and Goldfarb, 2005; Patson and Warren, 2010). A trend in the data suggests that event distributivity does not elicit a plural interpretation of a grammatically singular noun, however the results were not statistically significant. Possible causes of the non-significant results are discussed.

Abstract

Background and aims: The diabetic exempted from fasting by religion, wishing or not to observe the fast, is exposed like any other during Ramadan to a change in lifestyle. The objective of this study was to highlight the effects of Ramadan fasting on diabetes.

Material and methods: Multicentre study on 899 diabetics was carried to collect data on the behaviour of diabetics with regard to the fast of Ramadan, biochemicals and anthropometry parameters.

Results. The sample consists of 541 diabetic fasters (DTMF) and 358 no fasters. The causes of interruption of fasting were: hypoglycemia (82.4%), dehydration (44.5%), hyperglycemia (12.6%), high blood pressure (13.7%), loss of consciousness (8.3%). The risk factors related to fasting for DTMF were the type of diabetes and gender. Discussion and modifications about dietary, blood glucose monitoring and nutritional education sessions showed a protective effect against the occurrence of hypo and hyperglycemia and loss of consciousness. Decreasing differences were noted for Hb1Ac, LDL and Total-Cholesterol between before and after Ramadan. The weight of DTMF decreased in post-Ramadan (p=0.0000).

Conclusion. There is a need to consider regular preventive measures based on public information on the effects of diabetes related complications and the benefits of a balanced diet combined with regular physical activity in nutrition education sessions.

Published: November 2019

Abstract

Background and aims. Obese individuals have insulin resistance status assessed in the present study by the HOMA index (“Homeostasis model assessment”). This prospective study assessed renal disorders in the insulin resistance in obese patients.

Material and Methods. The study included 73 young obese patients. The assessment included the HOMA index before meal and parameters of renal function (glomerular filtration rate, albuminuria, β2-microglobulinuria).

Results. In young obese, insulin-resistance patients, glomerular hyperfiltration and β2-microglobulinuria are found in 77.0 and 93.4% of cases respectively. The albuminuria is noted in some cases, which reduces diagnostic value.

Conclusions. In young obese patients with insulin resistance, glomerular hyperfiltration and β2-microglobulinuria are main diagnostic markers of renal dysfunction.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Backgound and aims. In this study we analyzed heart rate variability (HRV) via chaotic global techniques so as to discriminate diabetics from control subjects. Matherial and method. Chaotic global analysis of the RR-intervals from the electrocardiogram and preprocessing adjustments were undertaken. The effect of varying two parameters to adjust the Multi-Taper Method (MTM) power spectrum were evaluated. Then, cubic spline interpolations from 1Hz to 13Hz were applied whilst the spectral parameters were fixed. Precisely 1000 RR-intervals of data were recorded. Results. CFP1 and CFP3 are the only significant combinations of chaotic globals when the default standard conditions are enforced. MTM spectral adjustments and cubic spline interpolation are trivial at effecting the outcome between the two datasets. The most influencial constraint on the outcome is data length. Conclusion. Chaotic global analysis was offered as a reliable, low-cost and robust technique to detect autonomic dysfunction in subjects with diabetes mellitus.
Lifestyle Medicine – New Concept, Innovative Discipline
Authors: Hâncu Anca 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
A large percentage 63% of premature deaths and chronic diseases could be prevented by adhering to healthy dietary patterns, being physically active and avoid smoking. The concept of lifestyle medicine introduced 20 years ago by Rippe is defined as the integration of modern lifestyle practices into evidence-based medicine, in order to lower risk factors or to be support for chronic therapies. A new taxonomy is proposed in lifestyle medicine, with determinants, as drivers for chronic diseases, anthropogens and metaflammation, the metabolic inflammatory state. Other possible determinants are proposed for lack os scope in life, estrangement and lost identity. Despite all health messages, healthy behaviors are exceptions, not the rule. It will be important in the future to change how practitioners will support individuals in their efforts to live healthier. More psychological and social factors should be analyzed. Many doctors are not self-confident with prescribing healthy lifestyle or nutritional recommendations. Creating a new discipline should foster development of preventive recommendations. General practitioners will need specific academic trainings to learn how to promote recommendations for lifestyle changes for health, for prevention and for diseases management, starting by adopting themselves healthy lifestyles.

Authors: Shetty Pushparaja , Shetty Akshatha , Kumari Suchetha 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Nutrition plays an important role in oral health as it affects the growth of craniofacial, dental and periodontal structures. When adequate food is not unavailable, oral health may be impaired, and even overexposure to the diet may also inversely affect. Therefore, there is interdependency between nutrition and oral health. The importance of Micronutrients in normal function is becoming increasingly apparent and insufficient micronutrient intake has both short term and long-term consequences. Micronutrient assessment of suspected individual and appropriate supplement therapy may assist in dental disease prevention.

Published: November 2019

Abstract

Introduction. The introduction of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in the management of diabetes was an innovation in the treatment of this disease, considering the protective cardiovascular effect not only the ability of decreasing the plasma glucose. In Europe, this class of medication is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and some of them (dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin) are also approved for use in certain patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. These patients must have inadequate control of their blood glucose levels despite optimal insulin therapy. One of the adverse effects is diabetic ketoacidosis.

Case report. This case report presents a diabetic patient whose treatment was changed from insulin therapy to oral therapy. Within 10 days after the initiation of the new treatment her condition gradually worsened and she arrived at the emergency room with nausea, vomiting and altered general condition. She was admitted for euglycemic ketoacidosis and treated according to the protocol.

Conclusions. This case reveals the importance of continuing the insulin therapy when adding a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor in type 1 diabetes patients.
Determination of In-Plane Shear Properties of Laminate with V-Notch Rail Shear Test and Digital Image Correlation
Authors: Karny Maciej 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This article presents the results of the application of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to measurements of in-plane shear modulus and strength of three different carbon fiber reinforced laminates. Three different approaches to shear strain calculations via DIC are evaluated and compared with standard strain gage measurements. Calculation of shear strain based on averaging DIC strain values of strain gages area in most cases yielded results closest to strain gages, while measurements based on single point strain measuring differed the most from strain gages. These results are attributed to shear strain distribution in the center area of the specimen. Thermoplastic matrix fabric reinforced composite had the lowest shear strength at 5% of shear strain, but the highest ultimate shear strength and strain at failure. Of thermosetting materials, laminate reinforced with unidirectional carbon fiber had shear modulus about 10% lower, than fabric reinforced laminate, but higher ultimate strength and strain at failure. This behavior is attributed to the presence of weaves in fabric reinforcing the laminate, causing shear stiffening of the material, but lowering its ability to deform under shear loading.
