Authors: Yulaika Nurul 
Published: June 2018

Human Resources is one of the central factors that drive quality hospital services. Human Resource Planning of pharmaceutical technicians at RSIA KM posed risks to service performance. The objective of this cross sectional study was to analyze the pharmacy staff requirements and workload using Workload Indicators of Staffing Need (WISN) method based on real time activity standards for each workload. RSIA KM had 4 existing pharmacy technicians. Based on the WISN analysis, the results of the study should WISN ratio 0.49 or ≤ 1.00 which means there was a lack of pharmaceutical staff. The ideal number of pharmaceutical staff should be 8.08 or 8 staff. In response, RSIA KM recruited 4 pharmacy technicians. Implication for job enrichment and recruitment are discussed. Keywords : human resource planning, WISN (workload indicators of staffing need), pharmaceutical technical staff

Published: June 2018

AbstractThis paper examines the rainfall and runoff characteristics in a karstic basin of China. The results indicated that the inner-annual distributions of rainfall and runoff were uneven and slightly different, as the concentration period of rainfall (from April to October) was earlier; there was a delay of about a month before the runoff (from May to September), and the concentrated volume accounted for 87% of annual precipitation or annual streamflow. Interannually, rainfall changed more significantly than runoff, the wet years lasted longer than the dry years (rainfall), while the high and low flow years were equal for runoff. In addition, judging from the value of the Mann-Kendall test, the average annual change of rainfall (−2.36) was more significant than that of runoff (−2.05), and the seasonal pattern of runoff maintained an opposite tendency in autumn and winter before 1990. The changes in runoff were mainly associated with rainfall and the formation conditions in the karstic area, and the reservoir in this basin should be operated with different flood limiting water levels, and the vegetation coverage should be improved.

Authors: Maroof Hamidreza , Irani Soussan , Arianna Armin , Vider Jelena , Gopalan Vinod , Lam Alfred King-yin 
Published: June 2018

Background:
The clinical pathological features, as well as the cellular mechanisms of
miR-195, have not been investigated in thyroid carcinoma.

Objective:
The aim of this study is to identify the interactions of vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF), p53 and miR-195 in thyroid carcinoma. The clinical and pathological features of miR-195
were also investigated.

Methods:
The expression levels of miR-195 were identified in 123 primary thyroid carcinomas, 40
lymph nodes with metastatic papillary thyroid carcinomas and seven non-neoplastic thyroid tissues
(controls) as well as two thyroid carcinoma cell lines, B-CPAP (from metastasizing human papillary
thyroid carcinoma) and MB-1 (from anaplastic thyroid carcinoma), by the real-time polymerase
chain reaction. Using Western blot and immunofluorescence, the effects of exogenous miR-195 on
VEGF-A and p53 protein expression levels were examined. Then, cell cycle and apoptosis assays
were performed to evaluate the roles of miR-195 in cell cycle progression and apoptosis.

Results:
The expression of miR-195 was downregulated in majority of the papillary thyroid carcinoma
tissue as well as in cells. Introduction of exogenous miR-195 resulted in downregulation of
VEGF-A and upregulation of p53 protein expressions. Upregulation of miR-195 in thyroid carcinoma
cells resulted in cell cycle arrest. Moreover, we demonstrated that miR-195 inhibits cell cycle
progression by induction of apoptosis in the thyroid carcinoma cells.

Conclusion:
Our findings showed for the first time that miR-195 acts as a tumour suppressor and
regulates cell cycle progression and apoptosis by targeting VEGF-A and p53 in thyroid carcinoma.
The current study exhibited that miR-195 might represent a potential therapeutic target for patients
with thyroid carcinomas having aggressive clinical behaviour.

Authors: Aqel Ahmad , Alzahrani Soad S. , Al-Rifai Asma’a , Alturkey Mohammed , Yusuf Kareem , ALOthman Zeid A. , Badjah-Hadj-Ahmed Ahmed-Yacine 
Published: June 2018

Background:
This work reports a green analytical method for the determination of organic
environmental pollutants using nano-liquid chromatography with a self-made column for rapid, sensitive,
inexpensive and efficient analysis of BTX pollutants in water. The applications of monolithic nanoscale
columns for quantitative analysis of environmental real samples are very limited in the literature.

Methods:
A capillary column containing a composite of multi-walled carbon nanotubes incorporated
into a lauryl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate porous monolithic polymer was fabricated for
the determination of BTX pollutants in real water samples.

Results:
Baseline separation was accomplished at 0.4 µL/min flow rate with UV-detection set at 208
nm. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration curves were validated over the range of 1.0-500
µg/L with R2 more than 0.9992. The detection limits of benzene, toluene, o-xylene and m/p-xylene
were 0.25, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.05 µg/L, respectively. After a simple extraction process with a theoretical
preconcentration factor equal to 200, the recovery values in Milli-Q, tap and sea water samples were
found to be ranged from 84.85 to 97.84% with %RSD less than 7.5. Furthermore, we reported a comparison
between our prepared composite column with a commercial C18 silica based column which is
the most used in such analytical field. Each column demonstrated its advantages from different analytical
aspects.

Conclusion:
The application of monolithic columns and nano-scale LC for routine analysis of environmental
samples is very promising as the use of monolithic capillary columns offers several advantages
over conventional scale particulate packed columns.
Green Dispersive Micro Solid-Phase Extraction using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Preconcentration and Determination of Cadmium and Lead in Food, Water, and Tobacco Samples
Authors: Gouda Ayman A. , Amin Ali H. , Ali Ibrahim S. , Al Malah Zakia 
Published: June 2018

Background:
Cadmium (Cd2+) and lead (Pb2+) have acute and chronic effects on humans
and other living organisms. In the present work, new, green and accurate dispersive micro solid-phase
extraction (DμSPE) method for the separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of cadmium
(Cd2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions in various food, water and tobacco samples collected from Saudi Arabia
prior to its Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometric (FAAS) determinations was developed.

Methods:
The proposed method was based on a combination of oxidized multiwalled carbon
nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) with a new chelating agent 5-benzyl-4-[4-methoxybenzylideneamino)-4H-
1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (BMBATT) to enrich and separate trace levels of Cd2+ and Pb2+. The effect of
separation parameters was investigated. The validation of the proposed preconcentration procedure
was performed using certified reference materials.

Results:
Analyte recovery values ranged from 95-102%, indicating that the method is highly accurate.
Furthermore, precision was demonstrated by the relative standard deviation (RSD < 3.0%). The limits
of detection were 0.08 and 0.1 μg L−1 for Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions, respectively. The preconcentration factor
was 200.

Conclusion:
The proposed method was used for the estimation of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ion content in various
real samples, and satisfactory results were obtained. The proposed method has high adsorption
capacity, rapid adsorption equilibrium, extremely low LODs, high preconcentration factors and
shortens the time of sample preparation in comparison to classical SPE.

Authors: Vidal Òscar , Castilla Xavier , Aliaga-Alcalde Núria , López-Periago Ana M. , Domingo Concepción , Sentellas Sonia , Saurina Javier 
Published: June 2018

Background:
A simple, rapid and efficient method for the determination of curcumin and
other polyphenols in turmeric and curry samples was here developed. The method relied on sample
extraction with methanol and extract analysis by liquid chromatography with diode array detection
(HPLC-DAD).

Methods:
The separation of components was carried out in reversed-phase mode using an elution gradient
based on 0.1% (v/v) formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile as the components of the mobile
phase. Chromatograms were recorded at 420 nm for specific monitoring of curcumin and related
compounds.

Results:
Extraction and separation conditions were optimized by experimental design and multicriteria
response functions. Figures of merit were established under the selected experimental conditions. In
general, repeatability of peak areas were better than 0.4%, detection limits were below 0.006 mg L-1
and quantitative recoveries expressed as a percentage were about 100 ± 2. The method was applied to
quantify curcuminoids in commercial samples. It was found that apart from curcumin, demethoxycurcumin
and bisdemethoxycurcumin, other related molecules also occurred in the samples. In this regard,
a tentative elucidation of possible unknown curcuminoids was attempted by liquid chromatography
coupled to mass spectrometry.

Conclusion:
Differences in the compositional profiles among samples were encountered to be relevant,
so that the resulting HPLC-DAD data was exploited for chemometric characterization of turmeric
and curry samples. Samples were successfully discriminated according to matrix types, species varieties
and origins.
Las primeras aproximaciones de la política exterior de Brasil en África y la utilización de las prácticas culturales de la población negra brasileña
Authors: Velasco Molina Mónica 
Published: June 2018

<p class="p1">Después de la abolición de la esclavitud, el prejuicio y la exclusión en contra de la población de descendencia negra formaron parte de la cotidianidad en Brasil. Sin embargo, la imagen del país como un paraíso racial fue alentada, sostenida y divulgada por la élite en el poder, especialmente a partir de la década de los años sesenta, momento que coincidió con el inicio del proceso de la descolonización africana. Una élite que al mismo tiempo que segregaba y discriminaba a los descendientes de los negros brasileños al interior del país, comenzó a “exhibir” y mostrarse orgullosa, a escala internacional, de su población negra. El artículo pretende mostrar cómo la élite, sobre todo en la época de la dictadura militar, buscó apropiarse de los elementos culturales más representativos del grupo racializado con objetivos de política exterior, pero sin modificar las estructuras sociales que mantenían parámetros de discriminación y desigualdad. Sin embargo, esto no ocurrió sin la movilización del grupo directamente afectado, incluso en momentos en los que la represión azotó a la sociedad brasileña. </p>
La construcción de las identidades en el “documental indígena”
Authors: Jablonska Aleksandra 
Published: June 2018

<p class="p1">En el ensayo se analizan diversas formas de representar las identidades étnicas en las películas documentales producidas entre 1992 y 2011 por Ojo de Agua Comunicación, una organización de comunicadores de Oaxaca. Dicho análisis se basa en la problematización de los conceptos del cine documental y del video indígena, y de su capacidad de relacionarse con el otro, para que éste pueda autorrepresentarse en una narrativa audiovisual. Se argumenta que el uso del lenguaje de los documentales observacionales (Bill Nichols) impide la emergencia del otro, debido a que apuesta por una fuente única del discurso y una evaluación del otro en que éste no participa. Además la organización del montaje y la selección de los hechos y de las ideas es siempre responsabilidad del cineasta. </p>
León Rozitchner: un pensador latinoamericano del presente
Authors: Cabezas Oscar Ariel 
Published: June 2018

<p class="p1">Uno de los filósofos de mayor profundidad que han surgido en América Latina es, sin duda León Rozitchner. El reciente interés que ha suscitado su obra se debe a que fue uno de los pioneros en señalar la “cuestión cristiana”, como uno de los mayores temas a reflexionar sobre la relación entre política, economía y teología. Este trabajo ofrece una panorámica de la obra de Rozitchner poniendo énfasis en su peculiar manera de abordar el tema de la dominación dentro de un horizonte cristo-capitalista. De igual manera reflexiona sobre el proceso de construcción de una subjetividad servil dentro de los marcos de una teología política en lo que se denomina como una geofilosofía. </p>
Izquierda Militar Iberoamericana: historia, tradición y características

<p class="p1">Dentro del estudio del militarismo iberoamericano las posiciones políticas más allá de la derecha no han sido debidamente estudiadas. Por ende, este artículo quiere exponer sobre la larga tradición de izquierdismo militar, presente a lo largo de toda la historia del continente iberoamericano, explicando los principales lineamientos que llevan a que parte de la oficialidad adopte posturas izquierdistas y/o que estos sectores políticos se plieguen a los liderazgos castrenses. Este texto se centra en la tesis de maestría del autor que trata el reformismo militar desde 1992 al 2007 en Ecuador, Perú y Venezuela. </p>
Tradición autobiográfica y autoficción en la literatura hispanoamericana contemporánea
Authors: Negrete Sandoval Julia Érika 
Published: June 2018

<p class="p1">La autoficción se ha convertido en una tendencia artística y de reflexión teórica desde que, en 1977, Serge Doubrovsky introdujera el término para describir su novela <em>Fils</em>, con la que desafía uno de los principios fundamentales de la autobiografía: la identidad nominal entre autor, narrador y personaje, y con ello el pacto autobiográfico propuesto por Philipe Lejeune en 1975. Si bien su origen se encuentra en la autobiografía y las dificultades teóricas que comenzó a plantear desde la década de 1960, la autoficción ha seguido la senda de la escritura novelística y ha abierto otras brechas al estudio de las consecuencias que acarrea la presencia del autor en el texto. La literatura hispanoamericana, aunque un tanto ajena al debate teórico, incursionó por su cuenta en este campo recién descubierto en Francia. En este ensayo propongo rastrear el desarrollo de una tradición autobiográfica en Hispanoamérica y su relación con el surgimiento de textos que, al apropiarse del yo autobiográfico, adquirieron semejante factura a lo que se conoce como autoficción. </p>
¿Qué es un texto créole?
Authors: Salazar Plata Luciana 
Published: June 2018

<p>En Martinica y Guadalupe el texto <em>créole </em>se alimenta de la historia de las plantaciones, de la llegada de los colonos europeos, de la presencia de los pueblos arrancados de África y de los trabajadores venidos de Asia. La Litera- tura <em>créole </em>construyó su lenguaje para hacerse escuchar y gritar su presencia al mundo. Este grito nace acompañado de varias preguntas, por ejemplo: ¿Por qué escribir en <em>créole</em>? ¿Quién es el escritor <em>créole</em>? ¿Es aquel que escribe en <em>créole</em>? ¿Potencializar el número de lectores es una motivación suficiente para escribir en lengua <em>créole? </em>Por lo que nos parece necesario analizar las situaciones en las que los escritores ponen en práctica el c<em>réole. </em>Finalmente se trata de desglosar el trabajo infinito a través de la riqueza discursiva y la belleza polifónica de la literatura, más allá del lugar geográfico y de las consecuencias sobre los lectores posibles.</p>

Published: June 2018

Prevention is better than Cure. The effect of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) global epidemic continue to emerge decades after the first wave of infection. One key aspect of controlling the epidemic is by enlightening the general public on the epidemic. That is on how it can be contracted and controlled. Since the start of the epidemic many measures have been taken by government and non-governmental organizations to control the epidemic but still it continued to infect and kill many people. The measures taken includes manufacturing antiretroviral drugs and therapy, using of condoms and enlightment among others. Nigeria consist of thirty-six (36) states and the federal capital territory (FCT) Abuja, and these are grouped in to six geopolitical zones. North-Eastern Nigeria consist of six states (6) namely Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe states with a total population of about twenty-five million (25m), most of the people live in the rural areas where level of education is low, level of poverty is high and culture and tradition may contribute to the spread of the epidemic. Using secondary data from Federal Ministry of Health, National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), and National Agency for the Control of Aids (NACA), State Agency for the Control of Aids (SACA) and other Non- governmental organizations, the study will find out are the people of North-Eastern Nigeria aware of HIV/AIDS? Statistical methods and techniques are used in analyzing the data.
Retinal Fundus Detection Using Skew Symmetric Matrix
Authors: Kaur Kiranjit , Priyadarshni . 
Published: June 2018

The retina is the light sensitive tissue, lining the back of our eye. Light rays are focused onto the retina through our cornea, pupil and lens. The retina converts the light rays into impulses that travel through optic nerve to our brain, where they are interpreted as the images. The task of manually segmenting fundus from retina images is generally time-consuming and difficult. In most settings, the task is done by marking the fundus regions slice-by-slice, which limits the human rater’s view and generates distorted images. Manual segmentation is also typically done largely based on a single image with intensity enhancement provided by an injected contrast agent. In the current research the fundus is detected and extracted in retinal image. Fundus is distinguished from normal tissues by their image intensity, threshold-based or region growing techniques. The fundus in this approach is detected with the help of geometric features. Skew symmetric matrix is used to avoid any angular orientation. In this approach the accuracy on fundus is quite promising. Accuracy of fundus detection is improved according to the area and the acceptance rate .In this approach ,once the image is loaded, it is filtered and normalized. Then superpixels are generated using linear iterative clustering approach and the features are generated. From the available set of features, some of the features are selected using sequential forward selection approach .Classifier is constructed in order to determine different classes in a test image. Proposed work is two class problem in which algorithm is applied that consists of skew symmetric matrix .Experimental results show substantial improvements in the accuracy and the performance of fundus detection as well as in false acceptance rate and false rejection rate.
A Novel Mechanism of Face Recognition Using Stepwise Linear Discriminant Analysis and Linear Vector Quantization Classifiers
Authors: Quyoom Abdul 
Published: June 2018

Face recognition is a hard and special case of computer vision and pattern recognition. It is a challenging problem due to various kinds of variations of face images. This paper proposes a robust face recognition system. Here stepwise linear discriminant analysis (SWLDA) is used for the feature extraction and Linear Vector Quantization (LVQ) Classifier is used for face recognition. The main focus of SWLDA is to select localized features from the face. In order to increase the low-between-class variance and to reduce within-class-variance among different expression classes and use F-test value through which results are analyzed. In recognition, firstly face is detected using canny edge detection method, after face detection SWLDA is employed to extract the face features, and end linear vector quantization is applied for face recognition. To achieve optimum results and increase the robustness of the proposed system, experiments are performed on various different samples of face image, which consist of face image with the different pose and facial expression in order to validate the system, we use two famous datasets which include Yale and ORL face database.
