Published: October 2019

Introducción y objetivos: la terapia con vitaminas C y E ha sido propuesta como adyuvante a la terapia triple estándar (TTE) con el fin de incrementar la tasa de erradicación del Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). En este estudio probamos esta hipótesis en una cohorte de pacientes de la Amazonía peruana.
Materiales y métodos: retrospectivamente, evaluamos una cohorte de 50 pacientes infectados con H. pylori del Hospital de Tarapoto en el período comprendido entre julio-diciembre de 2016; de estos, 25 fueron tratados con TTE (amoxicilina 1 g, claritromicina 500 mg y omeprazol 20 mg, dos veces al día por 14 días) en adyuvancia con las vitaminas C y E, y 25 fueron tomados al azar (1:1), quienes solo recibieron TTE. Se estimó y comparó la efectividad de ambos tratamientos utilizando un modelo regresión general lineal con familia Poisson y link log, teniendo como desenlace de interés la erradicación del H. pylori confirmada por histopatología.
Resultados: al comparar la cohorte de expuestos y con los no expuestos, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en sus características basales, incluyendo edad (38 ± 11 frente a 36 ± 10 años), género masculino (65 % frente a 63 %), síntomas y diagnóstico histopatológico. Al comparar la efectividad de ambos tratamientos, se encontró un incrementó no significativo en las tasas de erradicación del 9,5 % (91 % frente a 82 %, razón de tasas de incidencia = 1,11; intervalo de confianza [IC] 95 %: 0,92 a 1,36).
Conclusiones: la terapia adyuvante con vitaminas C y E podría ayudar a incrementar la efectividad de la TTE para H. pylori en pacientes de la Amazonía peruana, aunque se requiere confirmar esta hipótesis en un ensayo clínico.
Perfil psicográfico teniendo en cuenta la cultura como factor estructural del comportamiento del consumidor de la región caribe colombiana
Authors: Berbesi Urbina Albeiro 
Published: October 2019

La pictografía implica el uso de factores psicológicos y antropológicos para determinar cómo se segmenta el mercado considerando las tendencias dentro de los grupos de dicho mercado para tomar una decisión acerca de un producto, una persona, una ideología o cualquier otra cosa que marque una actitud o utilice un medio. Los perfiles psicográficos describen las características y las respuestas de un individuo ante un medio ambiente.
Desde la segmentación de mercados la psicografia permite definir mercado meta, crear una nueva perspectiva del mercado, posicionar el producto, comunicar mejor los atributos del producto, desarrollar estrategias generales, comercializar temas políticos y sociales. Al segmentar psicograficamente los consumidores se dividen de acuerdo a: estilo de vida, personalidad y valores.
El Caribe colombiano está compuesto por ocho departamentos (La Guajira, Atlántico, Bolívar, Cesar, Córdoba, Magdalena, Sucre y San Andrés y Providencia, Santa Catalina), además de sus diferencias climáticas y geográficas, existe un factor relevante en las características de consumo y rasgos culturales de sus habitantes. Este está determinado por sus antepasados precolombinos; como lo fueron la conquista española y la presencia de esclavos africanos, así se fusionan los rasgos culturales, regionales y por ende las características de consumo de dichos habitantes.

Reducing Underreporting by Aggregating Budgeted Time
Authors: Mendoza Kim I. 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
Underreporting, or reporting fewer hours than actually worked, is a prevalent behavior among auditors at all levels. Underreporting can result in negative consequences, such as tight budgets and reductions in future audit quality. In this paper, I propose a low-cost budget formatting procedure that reduces underreporting. Using an experiment, I document that individuals with higher underreporting incentives underreport less when given an aggregated budget relative to a disaggregated budget. When individuals have lower underreporting incentives, aggregating the budget has a smaller effect on underreporting. I also provide evidence of the process by performing a mediation analysis. In a second experiment, I examine a budget formatting procedure that reduces underreporting while also mitigating the loss of data richness that results from aggregation. This study provides important insights to audit firms, partners, managers, and regulators who rely on audit hours for budgets, measures of staff efficiency, and measures of audit quality.
Effects of Different Tire Operating Conditions on Transient Lateral Tire Response
Authors: Furlan Marco , Olsson Henning , Gladstone Mateo , Mavros Georgios 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
The concept of the relaxation length is often used to describe a tire's transient response. This paper investigates how the transient response changes under different operating conditions. Through the measurement of tire forces and tire deformations during transient maneuvers performed on an indoor flat-belt tire test machine, experimental data were used to calculate various tire stiffnesses and the associated relaxation lengths using a novel method via optimization.
With this methodology, the effects of tire load, inflation pressure, speed, and temperature on these stiffnesses and the relaxation length have been identified. The mechanisms behind these effects are discussed with a particular focus on the influence of temperature.
Dmenisions of Human Behavior in The Novel “The Foreigner” By Arun Joshi
Authors: Verma Abhishek 
Published: October 2019

In the modern age of globalization and modernization, people have become selfish and self-centered. Feeling of sympathy and kindness towards poor people have almost bolted from the hearts of those who have richly available resources. They leave needy people running behind their luxurious chauffer-driven cars. Poor and marginalized people keep shouting for help for their dear ones but upper class people trying to show as if they did not hear any long distant sound crept into their eardrums. This trauma, agony, pain and sufferings is explored in the novel, The Foreigner.
Dr Radhakrishnan as a Philosopher
Authors: Subramony Dr R. 
Published: October 2019

Dr Radhakrishnan’s thinking was Upanishadic. He also firmly believed in the birth of a new order based on ancient Indian wisdom. Drawing his inspiration from the Vedas, the Upanisads and the Gita, Radhakrishnan believed that humanity must become one. What kind of religion did Radhakrishnan advocate? Not a credal or dogmatic one, not an intellectual theology disputing over dogmas and contemplations. Radhakrishnan takes pride in the fact that Hinduism is not bound up with a creed or a dogma, with a founder – prophet or a historical personality, with a book like the Bible or the Quran, but a “persistent search for truth on the basis of a continuously renewed experience”. Radhakrishnan, as an ardent Hindu, could not transcend Hinduism itself. He was respectful of all religions, but it is ultimately Hindu standards by which he judged other religions. Hinduism was always for him the ideal religion, of course, a Hinduism re-interpreted, purged of all that he found distasteful in it. That President Radhakrishnan was a dhvajasthambalam in the temple of our nation’s consciousness: upright and resplendent in rough weather and fair, inspiring us to a higher purpose. K R Srinivas Iyengar noted that without the reserves of the spirit, the inner poise, the hidden fire, all other endowments cannot count for much. And the spirit that moved and sustained our ancient Indian Rishis and Acharyas is not foreign to Professor Radhakrishnan

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the cardiovascular and perceived effort of head‐out water exercises selecting different limb strategies and using resistance equipment. Ten young women were randomly assigned to perform at 132 bpm during five minutes different head‐out aquatic exercises: (i) horizontal arms abduction (Ab); (ii) horizontal arms abduction with dumbbells (AbD); (iii) frontal kick (Fk); (iv) frontal kick with leggings (FkLeg), and; (v) aquatic skiing (Ski). Cardiovascular effort was measured by monitoring the heart rate, blood pressure and double product. Perceived effort was assessed by the Borg’s scale. Within‐routines comparison was computed using repeated‐ measures ANOVA followed‐up by the Bonferroni post‐hoc test. Considering the percentage of the maximal heart rate, participants reached 72.88 ± 12.90% in the FkLeg, 65.99 ± 10.91% in the Fk, 62.62 ± 7.20% in Ski, 57.27 ± 11.58% in AbD and 57.12 ± 12.09% in Ab. Comparing exercises, higher heart rates were observed in the FkLeg (140.40 bpm) than Ab (110.30 bpm) or AbD (110.00 bpm). Significant differences were found in the systolic blood pressure when compared to the Fk (120.60 mmHg) and Ab (104.50 mmHg). Double product was higher in the FkLeg (16990) showing a meaningful difference when compared to Ab (11608) or AbD (12001). The highest perceived effort was found in the FkLeg (15.80) with meaningful variations compared to Ab (11.70), the Fk (13.70) and Ski (10.40). Thus, different head‐ out water exercises result in different intensities. The actions by lower limbs promote a higher cardiovascular response, whereas the upper limbs actions trigger a lower exertion. Moreover, exercising the four limbs concurrently seems to be less intense than using only two limbs with an aid.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Anthropometric diagnoses predict the most appropriate on‐court position for a certain player and are important in the long‐term planning of basketball training programs. This study provides anthropometric characteristics and body composition profiles of Polish youth national team players (U‐14, U‐15, U‐16 and U‐18). The aim of this research was to determine the somatic characteristics of basketball players regarding particular on‐court positions. The sample population consisted of 109 elite basketball players, who played in national teams in four age categories: U‐14, U‐16, U‐18 U‐20. An analysis of the obtained results revealed differences between the younger (U‐14, U‐15 and U‐16) and older groups (U‐18 and U‐20) in terms of length, width and circumference measurements and body mass (3.6–9.3%), as well as subcutaneous fat measured by the skinfold thickness method (14.3–33.7%). ANCOVA with maturity offset as the covariate variable showed differences in body height (p < 0.05, R2 = 0.74) and the arm span (p < 0.05, R2 = 0.87) between each playing position; the somatic measurements were greater for centers than for forwards and guards, and the measurements were greater for forwards than for guards. The somatic feature measurements also increased linearly with age. We can conclude that the arm span and body height are two major somatic factors that can predict center and guard playing positions for national team basketball players in all age categories from U‐14 to U‐20.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Our aim was to analyze physiological, kinematical and performance changes induced by swimming training in regional age‐group athletes. Subjects (15.7 ± 2.2 years old) performed a 4 x 50‐m front‐crawl test at maximal velocity (10 s rest interval) in weeks 2, 4, 9 and 12 of a 15‐week macrocycle. Descriptive statistics were used and the percentage of change and smallest worthwhile change (moderate, 0.6‐1.2, and large, > 1.2) were measured. Lactate concentration in the third, seventh and twelfth minute of recovery decreased significantly between weeks 2‐9 (14.1, 15.7 and 17.6%) and increased between weeks 9‐12 (18.2, 18.6 and 19.8%), with the HR presenting only trivial variations during the training period. Stroke length showed a large decrease in the first 50‐m trial between weeks 4‐9 (6.2%) and a large increase between weeks 9‐12 (3.1%). The stroke rate (in all 50‐m trials) increased significantly between weeks 4‐9 (3‐ 7%) and the stroke index had a moderate to large increase in the first and third 50‐m trial (3.6 and 7.1%, respectively) between weeks 9‐12. The overall time decreased by 1.1% between weeks 2‐12, being more evident after week 4. We concluded that physiological, kinematical and performance variables were affected by the period of training in regional age‐group swimmers.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
This research aims to clarify the stride adjustment in the approach of the 400‐m hurdles, and to examine the relationship with 400‐m hurdle performance. Seven male 400‐m hurdlers volunteered for this study. Participants ran three times from the start to the second hurdle. The standard deviation of toe‐hurdle distance and standard deviation of stride length at each step from the start to the first hurdle were calculated. The maximum value of the standard deviation of toe‐hurdle distance was defined as the position at which the athlete starts stride adjustment. The relationships between each variable, 400‐m hurdle personal best, and the ratio of 400‐m hurdle personal best and 400‐m running personal best (400 m/400‐m hurdles) were examined. Results concluded that standard deviation of toe‐hurdle distance gradually increased after the start, reached the maximum value in the latter half of the approach section, and then decreased until the takeoff. Standard deviation of stride length increased significantly from 4 steps before the takeoff. From these trends, it was suggested that athletes seemed to start stride adjustment from the middle stage to the latter half of the approach by sensing stride error accumulation in the middle of the approach. The strides immediately before the takeoff were markedly involved in stride adjustment. Furthermore, the stride adjustment technique to reduce maximum accumulation error of stride evaluated in the approach section was considered associated with the smooth running of the entire 400‐m hurdle race.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using the Kinect system during stationary rehabilitation. The study included 68 patients with COPD (35 men, 33 women, mean age 61.3 ± 3.7). The subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two experimental groups described below. Group I included 34 patients – non‐participants in Kinect training. Group II included 34 patients – participants in Kinect training. In all patients before and after rehabilitation physical fitness was assessed using the Senior Fitness Test (SFT). The Xbox 360 and Kinect motion sensor were used to carry out virtual reality training. In group I, statistically significant improvements in SFT performance were observed. Patients in group II also showed statistically significant improvement in physical fitness in all attempts of the SFT. Virtual rehabilitation training in patients with COPD seems to be a practical and beneficial intervention capable of enhancing mobility and physical fitness.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the state of the art in the area of virtual reality in competitive athletes of different levels of expertise in various disciplines and point the areas of its application. Articles published before August 2018 were considered in our review. The PubMed, SCOPUS, SportDiscus and Medline databases were searched. A combination of the following search terms was used: virtual reality, virtual environment, virtual system, athletes, sports, physical training, sport performance, physical exercises. Studies involved healthy competitive athletes. A total of 18 articles met the inclusion criteria. There were three areas of application of virtual reality to sport: performance analysis, simulation improvement and virtual training. Competitive athletes were mostly examined in a semi‐immersive setting. In conclusion, virtual reality seems to play a marginal role in competitive athletes’ training. Due to the fact that virtual reality interventions bring significant improvements in clinical research, well‐designed randomized control trials with detailed virtual training programmes are required in the future. Practically, virtual reality is effectively and commonly used to analyse performance in competitive athletes. There is still a need of creating fully interactive VR, where athletes will be able to cooperate with a virtual partner and influence the environment.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Reacting fast to visual stimuli is important for many activities of daily living and sports. It remains unknown whether the strategy used during the anticipatory period influences the speed of the reaction. The purpose of this study was to determine if reaction time (RT) differs following a steady and a dynamic anticipatory strategy. Twenty‐two young adults (21.0 ± 2.2 yrs, 13 women) participated in this study. Participants performed 15 trials of a reaction time task with ankle dorsiflexion using a steady (steady force at 15% MVC) and a dynamic (oscillating force from 10‐20% MVC) anticipatory strategy. We recorded primary agonist muscle (tibialis anterior; TA) electromyographic (EMG) activity. We quantified RT as the time interval from the onset of the stimulus to the onset of force. We found that a dynamic anticipatory strategy, compared to the steady anticipatory strategy, resulted in a longer RT (p = 0.04). We classified trials of the dynamic condition based on the level and direction of anticipatory force at the moment of the response. We found that RT was longer during the middle descending relative to the middle ascending and the steady conditions (p < 0.01). All together, these results suggest that RT is longer when preceded by a dynamic anticipatory strategy. Specifically, the longer RT is a consequence of the variable direction of force at which the response can occur, which challenges the motor planning process.
Roust Power System Stabilizer Design Using Kharitonov’s Theorem: A Case Study

Published: October 2019

This paper proposes a robust power system stabilizer(PSS) for a steam synchronous generator in Barka II power station. The PSS should be capable of damping small-disturbance oscillations (inherently existing in power systems due to e.g. load changes, lines switching...etc.) within a certain settling time for different load conditions. Also, the proposed PSS must have the conventional structure and its parameters must not be violated. To achieve this goal, robust control provides many advantages. The suggested controller is tuned by the Kharitonov’s theorem and uses the standard structure employed in industry. The problem is cast into a nonlinear constrained optimization problem to achieve the desired settling time without violating the practical values of the controller parameters. Performance of the robust PSS is evaluated by several simulations in the presence of system uncertainty due to load changes.
