Published: December 2019

Introduction:
Inflammatory back pain (IBP) is a prominent clinical symptoms in patients with spondyloarthropathy (SpA) affecting young adults and is an important cause of morbidity in the productive age group. SpA characteristically involves sacroiliac joints (SIJs). For the diagnosis of early sacroiliitis, though magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred method, conventional radiography has been routinely used for the evaluation of sacroiliitis. Active inflammation in SIJs cannot be assessed on radiographs and they usually appear normal in the early phase of IBP. This study aims to study the clinical and radiographic patterns of IBP in Indian scenario.

Materials and Methods:
Treatment naive patients with low back pain and subsequently diagnosed with IBP as per Calin criteria were identified. The clinical and laboratory parameters of these patients were recorded. SIJ radiographs of these patients were analyzed.

Results:
Fifty-two patients were registered with 57% of subjects being female. The mean age of onset of symptoms was 32–33 years with a mean duration of symptoms being 40.9 months. No significant difference was noted in the age of onset or duration of illness in males and females. Human leukocyte antigen-B27 (HLA-B27) positivity rate was only 8.7%. About 38.4% of cases demonstrated active inflammation at presentation. Most of the cases (94.2%) though presented for the first time had radiographic evidence of sacroiliitis. A maximum number of cases (38.4%) were seen in Grade 2, followed by Grade 3 (30.8%). Cases with symmetrical sacroiliitis were more (57.1%) as compared to asymmetrical/unilateral sacroiliitis. HLA-B27 positivity in symmetric cases was 10.9% as against 12.5% in asymmetric cases.

Conclusions:
There is often delay in the diagnosis of sacroiliitis. This is, in contrast, to profile in developed nations where early detection of the disease occurs ultimately leading to the usefulness of early therapy. Appropriate measures need to be taken in the health-care sector to increase awareness among people and treating physicians and sensitize them to IBP and its associated morbidities. In the present scenario, where the majority of cases are presenting in the chronic stage of the disease, radiography may be advocated in resource poor areas to decrease burden and cost related to the use of MRI.

Published: December 2019

Objective:
The objective of our study was to determine the role of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing and differentiating between complete and partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears and to compare it with conventional MRI sequences.

Materials and Methods:
We conducted a prospective study for a period of 2 years from October 2017 to October 2019 on 30 patients with clinically suspected ACL/PCL injuries of the knee. MRI of the knee joint was performed using conventional, and DW sequences and the findings on both the sequences were assessed independently and compared with the intraoperative or follow-up MRI findings.

Results:
As per operative and follow-up MRI findings, the sensitivity and specificity of conventional MRI were 60% and 33.33% with a positive and negative predictive value of 47.37% and 45.45%, respectively. On the other hand, the sensitivity and specificity of DW MRI were 70.00% and 33.33% with a positive and negative predictive value of 51.22% and 52.13%, respectively. P = 0.417 was statistically not significant.

Conclusion:
According to our study, adding DW sequence to conventional MR sequences yielded comparable results in diagnosis and differentiation between complete and partial ACL and PCL tears.

Authors: Pimenov A. T. , Pribylov V. S. 
Published: December 2019

Introduction. The paper presents the research results of the metallurgical slag characteristics on the example of metallurgical waste of Novokuznetsk in the Kemerovo region. Moreover, the paper demonstrates the ways of metallurgical waste’s usage in the asphalt mixes’ composition for the road construction and shows design methods and features of the asphalt concrete on slag aggregates. The aim of the research is to substantiate the possibility of using steelmaking slags of the Novokuznetsk Metallurgical Plant as a mineral skeleton of asphalt concrete pavement to increase its operational reliability. Basing on the research of the physicomechanical properties of asphalt binder and testing of prototypes, the authors confirm the increased shear strength of asphalt concrete on slag aggregates and resistance to cracking in comparison with traditional mixtures. The issue under consideration is relevant by finding more efficient building materials in the context of the development of resource-saving technologies and increasing environmental requirements in the Russian regions.Materials and methods. The authors carried out investigations of metallurgical slag by determining their physical and mechanical characteristics in accordance with the existing regulatory and technical base using modern measuring instruments and testing equipment.Results. As a result, the authors selected compositions of slag asphalt concrete mixtures that satisfied the requirements of the existing regulatory and technical base across the entire spectrum of physical and mechanical parameters and operational characteristics.Discussion and conclusion. The use of metallurgical slags of the Novokuznetsk Metallurgical Plant as a filler for asphalt concrete increases its operational characteristics, especially those, which are important in conditions of intense traffic load and sharply continental climate and those, which reduce the cost of such mixtures compared to traditional ones due to the use of industrial waste in them. Therefore, the metallurgical slag seriously competes with natural building materials in the preparation and laying of asphalt mixtures for streets and roads of various categories.The authors have read and approved the final manuscript. Financial transparency: the authors have no financial interest in the presented materials or methods. There is no conflict of interest.

Published: December 2019

Background: Overweight and obesity rates in Latin America are much higher than the global prevalence. Front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition label systems are gaining momentum in Latin America and being implemented as a strategy to tackle obesity among children and adults. This study investigates the usage and preference of three FOP nutrition labels among Argentinian, Chilean, Costa Rican, and Mexican adult parents.
Methods: From March to May 2016, a questionnaire was administered to 966 parents of elementary school aged children in Argentina (89), Chile (304), Costa Rica (258) and Mexico (315). Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA), traffic light (TL), and warning label FOP systems were compared and analyzed. Statistical analysis was conducted using frequencies and proportions. Median differences tests, ANOVAs and logistic regression models were performed. A thematic analysis of qualitative data was conducted using a deductive process.
Results: Parents with low education levels and poor health conditions (i.e., overweight) preferred the FOP warning labels over the GDA and TL systems. The GDA FOP nutrition labels were preferred by parents with higher education levels. Overall, the TL system was preferred with no significant differences across countries.
Conclusion: FOP warning labels are preferred by parents with vulnerable conditions (i.e., low education levels and overweight) across four Latin American countries. An easily understandable, readable and acceptable label may facilitate usage by vulnerable groups to make healthy food purchases. These results have important policy implications by providing evidence to government policymakers to enact legislation to implement or enhance existing FOP nutrition label policies as a viable strategy to reduce obesity risk.

(Libre) circulación de personas y políticas migratorias regionales en el MERCOSUR
Authors: Brumat Leiza 
Published: December 2019

La libertad de circulación de las personas es uno de los aspectos fundamentales y más visibles en los procesos de integración regional y forma parte de los objetivos del MERCOSUR. Las políticas para la movilidad humana en el MERCOSUR pasaron por diversas etapas, con avances y retrocesos. Los estudios que analizan y explican el contenido, elaboración y evolución de estas políticas también experimentaron diversas etapas. Los trabajos desarrollados en las décadas de 1990 y 2000 se centraron en análisis jurídicos del contenido de las normas para la movilidad laboral. A partir de la entrada en vigor e implementación del Acuerdo de Residencia, en la década de 2010, proliferaron trabajos que incluyen a los aspectos políticos, ideológicos y discursivos de la integración regional y a los diversos actores participantes en ella. Se puede observar además una importante tendencia a comparar al MERCOSUR con la Unión Europea (UE) o, directamente, a tomar a la UE como referencia. Esto tiene consecuencias en la orientación y el aporte de los estudios en la materia, que tienden a focalizarse en las deficiencias en la implementación de las políticas y a criticar la intergubernamentalidad del MERCOSUR.
Este artículo realiza una revisión de la literatura en revistas y libros académicos en español, inglés y portugués sobre la libre circulación de personas en el MERCOSUR y las políticas regionales para la movilidad de las personas, con particular énfasis en la realizada desde la perspectiva de la ciencia política y las relaciones internacionales, dado que estudian a la dimensión política de las políticas migratorias regionales. El objetivo de esta revisión es visibilizar el conocimiento existente sobre el tema, las orientaciones disciplinares y teóricas que han predominado e identificar (posibles) futuras líneas de investigación.

Цель исследования. Исследование распространенности полиморфных вариантов генов, ответственных за развитие гипертонии и других заболеваний сердечнососудистой системы среди населения Азербайджана на примере выборочной группы пациентов с гипертонической болезнью.
Материалы и методы. Исследовали 127 пациентов c заболеванием гипертонической болезни (ГБ) Азербайджанского Научно-исследовательского Института Кардиологии им. Дж. Абдуллаева. Испытуемые были разделены на 2 возрастные и 2 гендерные группы. Предметом исследований были полиморфные гены, ответственные за развитие ГБ и других патологий сердечнососудистой системы. Основным методом работы являлось генотипирование, которое проводили с помощью полимеразно-цепной реакции, геномные последовательности, обнаруженные в ходе SNP скрининга, определяли в базе данных с помощью программы BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) для сравнения последовательностей нуклеотидов и аминокислот.
Результаты. Показана распространенность полиморфизмов генов-кандидатов среди возрастных групп мужской и женской части азербайджанской популяции в сравнительном аспекте. В результате в пределах одной возрастной группы выявлено наибольшее сходство генотипов по генам, кодирующим белки системы тромбообразования (СТО). В части генов, обуславливающих работу группы ренин-ангиотензивной системы (РАС) отмечены более значительные различия, особенно в части гетерозиготных вариантов и нормы.
Заключение. Отмечено, что у мужчин чаще встречались гетерозиготные варианты исследуемых генов, чем у женщин. В популяции женщин выше доля гомозиготных мутантных генотипов. При сравнении двух возрастных групп мужчин и женщин отмечено, что больше сходств показывали группы возраста старше 35 лет.

Published: December 2019

Bir yazarın
yazmadaki başlıca amacı okuyucuyu vakit kaybetmeden konu hakkında
bilgilendirmesidir. Bunu başarmak için yazarın açık ve kısa bir dil kullanması
gerekmektedir çünkü kısa dil kullanımı sayesinde içeriğin iletilmesi daha rahat
hale gelmektedir. Gereksiz sözcüklerle doldurulmuş bir akademik yazım
okuyucunun dikkatini dağıtabilir ve okumayı bırakmasına neden olabilir. Bu
yüzden gereksiz sözcük kullanımı akademisyenlerin kaçınması gereken bir
durumdur. Bu doğrultuda, çalışma makale
yazarken gereksiz sözcükleri atma konusunda anadili İngilizce olmayan yazarlara
yardımcı olmayı, öz yazım konusunda onları bilgilendirmeyi ve fazla
sözcüklerden nasıl kurtulabilecekleri konusunda onları aydınlatmayı
hedeflemektedir. Bunu gerçekleştirebilmek için bu çalışma sade ve öz olmanın
önemli olduğu yüz araştırma makalelerinin giriş kısımlarını inceledi; gereksiz
uzun olan cümlecikleri tek kelimeye veya daha kısa cümleciklere düşürdü veya
tamamen çıkardı. Son olarak hem uzun halleri hem de kısaltılmış halleri
İngilizce eser okuyan elli akademisyene dağıtıldı ve hangisinin daha okunaklı
olduğu soruldu. Sonuçlar İngilizce yazan Türk yazarların çalışmalarında
gereksiz uzun cümlecik, cümle ve gereksiz giriş cümlecikleri kullandıkları ve
okuyucuların kısa yazımları tercih ettikleri tespitine vardı.

Abstract
Methods and strategies traditionally used in teaching science have been described by several researchers as being unsatisfactory and ineffective over many years. Hence, this study examined the effect of Mercedes Model with Embedded Assessment Strategy and Technology on Biology students’ learning outcomes. A pretest-post-test control group, quasi experimental design was adopted for the study. Two purposively selected EDs were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Three senior secondary schools were randomly selected from each ED. Altogether, a total of six schools in the two selected EDs were involved in the study. Two intact classes (one science and another non-science) were randomly selected from each of the six schools making a total of twelve classes. In all 568 Senior Secondary Class I biology students formed the sample size. Five instruments were used to generate data for the study, namely, Mercedes Model with Embedded Assessment Strategy and Technology in Diffusion (M2EASTID), Mercedes Model with Embedded Assessment Strategy and Technology in Osmosis (M2EASTIO). Conventional Lesson Plan on Diffusion (COLPOD), Conventional Lesson Plan on Osmosis (COLPO) and Test on Students’ Learning Outcomes in Osmosis and Diffusion (TESLOOD). Four hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts, means, deviation and analysis of covariance. There was significant effect of treatment on students’ learning outcomes on selected biology concepts. Also, subject specialization has a significant effect on the dependent measures. Mercedes Model with Embedded Assessment Strategies and Technology therefore was effective and significantly improved students’ learning outcomes. Hence, it was recommended that biology teachers in senior secondary schools should adopt Mercedes Model with Embedded Assessment Strategy and Technology for teaching for understanding and application of biology concepts.
