As parasitoses intestinais são sérios problemas de saúde pública, principalmente, em países em desenvolvimento. O objetivo do artigo foi verificar se a presença de enteroparasitoses influencia negativamente no estado nutricional das crianças da escola municipal N. Sra. Aparecida, na cidade de Picos-PI. Para isso, investigou-se a frequência de consumo alimentar, dados socioeconômicos, medidas antropométricas e material fecal de 28 crianças, com idade entre 3 e 6 anos. Os grupos de alimentos mais consumidos pelos envolvidos são: óleos, leite, carnes, leguminosas, cereais, bebidas e gorduras e de menor frequência: raízes e tubérculos, frutas, ovos, vegetais, açúcar e doces. Avaliando o estado nutricional se verificou que pelos parâmetros utilizados, Índice de Massa Corporal por idade (IMC/I), peso por idade (P/I) e altura por idade (A/I), a maioria se encontra normal. Os resultados do teste de fezes para parasitas intestinais mostraram que 92,85% das crianças apresentaram pelo menos um enteroparasita e apenas 7,15% não tinham contaminação, prevalecendo na maioria dos casos Ascaris lumbricoides. Portanto, estudos como este contribuem para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas de prevenção e controle de doenças parasitárias que afetam o desenvolvimento infantil.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the habits and frequency of food intake, nutritional status and the occurrence of enteroparasites in preschool children from 3 to 6 years old from a public school in Picos, Piaui. Thus, the frequency of food intake, socioeconomic data, anthropometric measurements and fecal material of 28 children, aged 3 to 6 years were investigated. The most consumed food groups by those involved are: oils, milk, meat, pulses, cereals, beverages and fats and least consumed ones: roots and tubers, fruits, eggs, vegetables, sugar and sweets. Evaluating children's nutritional status through anthropometric indices, Body Mass Index for age (BMI/I), weight by age (P/I) and height by age (A/I), it was found that they were within the range of normality. Stool test results for intestinal parasites showed that 92.85% of children were positive for at least one enteroparasite and only 7.15% had no contamination, with the highest prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides. Therefore, studies such as this contribute to the development of public policies for prevention and control of parasitic diseases that affect child’s development. Keywords: Nutritional Assessment.

Multi-speed Europe? An Analysis of the Real Convergence within the European Union
Authors: Miron Dumitru , Holobiuc Ana-Maria 
Published: January 2020

Reaching an appropriate level of economic, social and territorial convergence has been a strategic goal for European policy and decision-makers. The author’s first assumption is that although in the early stages of the regional project, the Member States had similar growth and development levels, with the advancement of the integration process, the development asymmetries increased. In this paper, the authors stress the fact that the European decision-makers and researchers have become more and more interested to study if the Member States of the European Union meet the criteria for certain types of convergence: nominal, real, legal, structural and institutional. This paper brings to the fore-front the process of real convergence, trying to respond to the question if the Member States are catching-up, or are diverging. Moreover, taking into consideration the enlargement of the European Union with the countries from Central and Eastern Europe, we have studied the main trends within this group of countries. In this respect, we have calculated the σ and β convergence for three geographical clusters of countries: Central Eastern, North Western and Southern Europe. The results obtained show that the economies of the New Member States increased faster than those of the North-Western countries, experiencing a significant speed of convergence. In contrast, the North-Western countries recorded a negative pace in terms of convergence and significant discrepancies between them. In conclusion, the paper shows that the desiderate of real convergence becomes more and more difficult to achieve as while the Central and Eastern Europe states make important steps in reducing the disparities between them and also catching up with the European Union’s average, the Southern Europe countries are diverging.

Motives and Characteristics of Highly Qualified Labor Force Migration: Case Study of Serbia
Authors: Todorović Miloš , Đorđević Aleksandar 
Published: January 2020

The emigration of highly qualified labour from the countries of Eastern Europe is one of the worst effects of transitional and post-transitional period. It discredits the educational system of Eastern European countries, but also creates long-term problems in the development of the economy and all other sectors of society. The difference in earnings between immigrant countries of Western Europe and North America and the countries of emigration is the dominant motive for migration. But other motives are also not irrelevant. This paper is an initial part of a wider research of the international movement of labour which should provide guidance to the countries of emigration to mitigate the consequences of this process. Student surveys in Eastern European countries, their thoughts and plans, will provide information on the motives of emigration. On the other hand, by surveying the experiences of young highly educated workforce who has already emigrated, a true picture of experiences and the expected and achieved intentions will be obtained. Finally, certain questions in the questionnaire will also give an answer to the question, which would be new moments that would encourage young experts not to leave the country, or to return those who emigrated.

Published: January 2020

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an integral part of firms’ strategies in their effort to increase their positive impact on society. This study investigates the impact of a CSR initiative, known as “The LAB Project”, implemented by the TITAN– Sharrcem Company, on the rural community of Hani I Elezit in Kosovo. The LAB project aims to support the establishment and operation of agricultural and food-related start-ups and, most importantly, to ensure their sustainability. The sample of the study consists of 174 area residents. This research examines local residents’ perceptions about a) the TITAN-Sharrcem operations in the area, b) the LAB project’s main contribution to the local community, c) the project’s overall performance, d) the profitability of the start-ups created by the project, and e) the project’s effect on the community’s quality of life. Overall, the results reveal that the project has set the foundation for the community’s sustainable development. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research on the effect of such initiatives in the region.

Empowering IT Operations through Artificial Intelligence – A New Business Perspective
Authors: Banica Logica , Polychronidou Persefoni , Stefan Cristian , Hagiu Alina 
Published: January 2020

This paper aims to describe the concept of applying Artificial Intelligence to IT Operations (AIOps) and its main components, Big Data, Machine Learning and Trend Analysis. The concept was implemented by developing a multi-layered fusion of the technologies that powers the components in AIOps platforms present on the IT market. The core of an AIOps platform is represented by the Big Data organization structure and by a massive parallel data processing platform like Apache Hadoop. The ML component of the platform is able to infer the future behaviour and the regular operations that are performed from the large volume of collected data, in order to develop the ability to automate the activities. AIOps platforms find their place especially in very complex IT infrastructures, ones that require constant monitoring and quick decisions in case of failures. The case study is based on the Moogsoft AIOps platform, and its features are presented in detail, using the Cloud trial version, clearly showing the potential of such an advanced tool for infrastructure monitoring and reporting. The experiment was focused on the way Moogsoft is monitoring computing resources, is handling events and records alerts for the defined timespan, alerts grouped by category (like web services, social media, networking). The platform is also able to display at any given moment the unresolved situations and their type of origin, and includes automated remediation tools. The study presents the features of this software category, consisting in benefits for the business environment and their integration into the Internet-of-Things model.

A LITERATURA INFANTIL NO PROCESSO DE INCLUSÃO DE ALUNOS COM DEFICIÊNCIA AUDITIVA
Authors: Pinto Carla Georgia Travassos Teixeira , Nunes Marcia Cristina Ribeiro Gonçalves 
Published: January 2020

O presente trabalho focaliza numa experiência de inclusão de aluno surdo em escola regular de ensino, sendo que o deficiente auditivo possui privação auditiva e como consequência disso o processo de aquisição e desenvolvimento de fala e linguagem oral sofre atraso. Dentro desse contexto a linguagem é elemento crucial no desenvolvimento linguístico-cognitivo do sujeito e dessa forma torna-se de grande relevância no processo de aprendizagem. Em sujeitos ouvintes a aprendizagem da linguagem escrita se dá através da linguagem oral, no entanto, no sujeito com deficiência auditiva, esse processo sofre um significativo atraso tanto na leitura como na escrita, já que ambas são produções consideradas abstratas para estes. O presente estudo possui como objetivo divulgar através da literatura infantil possibilidades de facilitar o desenvolvimento de interpretação e compreensão de textos pelos sujeitos que possuem deficiência auditiva. A metodologia do presente estudo foi desenvolvida tendo como orientação a tendência bilíngue, com seis deficientes auditivos, com idades entre 7 a 12 anos, todos alunos da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Gabriel Lage da Silva. O percurso metodológico foi construído em três etapas: leitura de texto usando a Língua Brasileira de Sinais, dramatização e por fim produção textual. Como apreciação avaliativa da dinâmica os respectivos sujeitos melhoram a compreensão e interpretação de texto consideravelmente, ainda que com dificuldades gramaticais e sintáticas.

Effects of Lumbosacral Arthrodesis on the Biomechanics of the Sacroiliac Joint
Authors: Baria Dinah , Lindsey Ronald W. , Milne Edward L. , Kaimrajh David N. , Latta Loren L. 
Published: January 2020

Background:
It is unclear whether the sacroiliac joint is vulnerable to adjacent segment disease. Clinical studies have suggested that many patients who have undergone lumbar arthrodesis will develop adjacent segment disease, which may contribute to sacroiliac joint degeneration. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether arthrodesis in the lumbar spine results in altered biomechanics at the sacroiliac joint that could contribute to adjacent segment disease within the joint.

Methods:
With use of human cadavers in a biomechanical laboratory study, the effects of lower-lumbar arthrodesis and sacroiliac screws on the biomechanics of the sacroiliac joint were assessed. Human cadaveric pelves with lumbar spines were biomechanically tested in flexion-extension, rotation about the vertical axis, and compression along the vertical axis with single and double-leg support. Four conditions were compared: (1) intact, (2) L4-L5 arthrodesis, (3) L4-S1 arthrodesis, and (4) left sacroiliac screw. Construct vertical and horizontal motions at the anterior and posterior surfaces of the sacroiliac joint were measured.

Results:
Significant measurable increases in motion of the sacroiliac joint related to arthrodesis of the lumbar spine occurred with flexion-extension loading (p < 0.05). No significant changes were observed for rotation about the vertical axis or compression along the vertical axis with single and double-leg support.

Conclusions:
After 360°, 1 or 2-level lumbosacral spine arthrodesis, the sacroiliac joint showed a significant increase in rotational motion with flexion-extension loading. Increases in horizontal translation with axial rotation loading and vertical translation with axial compression loading were not significant.

Clinical Relevance:
The risk of significant alteration of normal sacroiliac kinematics should be considered in all patients undergoing 360° lumbosacral arthrodesis.
Reconstruction of Missing Gas, Oil, and Water Flow-Rate Data: A Unified Physics and Data-Based Approach
Authors: Negash Berihun Mamo , Him Poon Chee 
Published: January 2020

Summary
An incomplete data set of flow rate and pressure is detrimental to reservoir management and operation. It has the potential to increase uncertainty and has the potential to unfavorably affect operational and managerial decisions. Such a data set might transpire because of failure in the flowmeters, pressure gauges, and/or unrecorded shut-in periods. This study proposes and evaluates unified physics and data-based analytics for “learning” the underlying behavior of a reservoir and reconstructing missing gas, oil, and water flow rates. The proposed workflow is evaluated using real field data obtained from a North Sea reservoir. Validation is done by using a whiteness test, a goodness-of-fit test, and a novel physics-based validation using material balance and pressure back-calculation. The outcome has shown the capability and flexibility of the selected machine-learning techniques in estimating the missing flow rate on the basis of pressure responses. The features that are extracted and expanded on the basis of physics have resulted in a high-fidelity model with less computation time.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background: Family caregivers of elderly patients with spinal tumours experience considerable pain and burden during the care process. This study aims to investigate the factors associated with caregiver burden in family caregivers of elderly patients with spinal tumours.
Methods: A total of 220 elderly patients with spinal tumours (age ≥ 65 years) hospitalized at the spine centre of our hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 and their family caregivers were recruited for this cross-sectional study. All participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire. Caregiver burden, social support and self-efficacy were assessed by the Chinese version of the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), respectively. The factors related to caregiver burden were analysed by multivariate analysis. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The 216 elderly patients with spinal tumours were 71.59 ± 8.49 years old, and their caregivers were 70.46 ± 9.13 years old. A total of 170 patients were cared for by their spouses, who accounted for 78.7% of all caregivers. The ZBI score for the family caregivers was 35.5 ± 7.5, and most caregivers (84.5%) reported a moderate or heavy burden. The factors related to caregiver burden included patient paralysis, the primary cancer site, chemotherapy and/or radiation, cognitive dysfunction, functional status, monthly income, pain score, caregivers’ SSRS score, and GSE score.
Conclusions: Most family caregivers of elderly patients with spinal tumours have a considerable caregiver burden. Interventions based on social support and self-efficacy can help reduce caregiver burden.
School Suspension Predicts Trichomoniasis Five Years Later in a Matched Sample
Authors: Rosenbaum Janet E. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background: Young adults who were suspended from school during adolescence are more likely than matched non-suspended youth to be arrested, on probation, or not graduate from high school, which are STI risk factors. This study evaluates whether suspension is a marker for STI risk among young adults who avoid subsequent negative effects.
Methods: This study evaluated whether suspension predicts a positive test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis in a urine sample using matched sampling in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult Health (Add Health), and evaluated potential mediators between suspension and STI status using causal mediation analysis. We used Mahalanobis and exact matched sampling within propensity score calipers to compare 381 youth suspended for the first time in a 1-year period with 980 non-suspended youth. The suspended and non-suspended youth were similar on 67 pre-suspension variables. We evaluated STI outcomes 5 years after suspension.
Results: Before matching, suspended youth were more likely to test positive for trichomoniasis and gonorrhea, but not chlamydia, than non-suspended youth. Suspended youth were more likely to test positive for trichomoniasis 5 years after suspension than matched non-suspended youth (OR=2.87 (1.40, 5.99)). Below-median household income before suspension explained 9% of the suspension-trichomoniasis association (p=0.02), but criminal justice involvement and educational attainment were not statistically significantly mediators.
Conclusions: School suspension is a marker for STI risk. Punishing adolescents for initial deviance may cause them to associate with riskier sexual networks even if they graduate high school and avoid criminal justice system involvement. Suspension may compound disadvantages for youth from below-median-income families, who have fewer resources for recovering from setbacks.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background Since the inception of newborn screening programs in China in the 1990s, pregnancy among patients with inherited, metabolic disorders has become more common. This study explores the management and outcomes of planned, full-term pregnancies in patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). Method Married patients with PKU from 2012 to 2017 were enrolled to receive prenatal counseling and regular health assessments. Study-related assessments included the timing of Phe-restricted diets, maternal weight gain, gestational age, pregnancy complications, and blood Phe concentrations (both pre-conception and during pregnancy), obstetrical data, and offspring outcomes(e.g.anthropomorphic measurements and developmental quotients [DQs]). Results A total of six offspring were successfully delivered. The mean±SD (range) age of the mother at delivery was 26.3±4.7 (range:21.1-32.5) years. The mean duration of Phe control before pregnancy was 5.5±1.3(range:3.1-6.5) months. During pregnancy, the proportion of blood Phe concentrations within the clinically-recommended target range (120–360μmol/L) ranged from 63.2-83.5%. Low birth weight (<2500g) offspring occurred in two women who experienced suboptimal metabolic control. In addition, offspring DQ was related to the proportion of blood Phe levels per trimester that were within the recommended range (r=0.886, p=0.016). Conclusion This is the first report of women in China with PKU who successfully gave birth to clinically healthy babies. Infant outcomes were related to maternal blood Phe management prior to and during pregnancy. In maternal PKU patients with poor compliance todietary treatment, sapropterin dihydrochloride（6R-BH 4 ）may be an option to improve the management of blood Phe levels.
