Abstract

Background
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an estrogenic, endocrine-disrupting compound widely used in the industry. It is also a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. Its presence was confirmed in human fetuses, which results from maternal exposure during pregnancy. The mechanisms behind maternal-fetal transfer, and relationships between pregnant women and fetal exposures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of maternal exposure to BPA on the exposure of the fetus.

Methods
Maternal plasma and amniotic fluid samples were collected from 52 pregnant women undergoing amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities. BPA was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The permeability factor – a ratio of fetal-to-maternal BPA concentration – was used as a measure delineating the transplacental transfer of BPA.

Results
The median concentration of maternal plasma BPA was 8 times higher than the total BPA concentration in the amniotic fluid (8.69 ng/mL, range: 4.3 ng/mL–55.3 ng/mL vs. median 1.03 ng/mL, range: 0.3 ng/mL–10.1 ng/mL). There was no direct relationship between the levels of BPA in maternal plasma and amniotic fluid levels. The permeability factor, in turn, negatively correlated with fetal development (birth weight) (R = −0.54, P < 0.001).

Conclusion
Our results suggest that the risk of fetal BPA exposure depends on placental BPA permeability rather than the levels of maternal BPA plasma concentration and support general recommendations to become aware and avoid BPA-containing products.
Inference of finite mixture models and the effect of binning

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Finite mixture models are widely used in the life sciences for data analysis. Yet, the calibration of these models to data is still challenging as the optimization problems are often ill-posed. This holds for censored and uncensored data, and is caused by symmetries and other types of non-identifiabilities. Here, we discuss the problem of parameter estimation and model selection for finite mixture models from a theoretical perspective. We provide a review of the existing literature and illustrate the ill-posedness of the calibration problem for mixtures of uniform distributions and mixtures of normal distributions. Furthermore, we assess the effect of interval censoring on this estimation problem. Interestingly, we find that a proper treatment of censoring can facilitate the estimation of the number of mixture components compared to inference from uncensored data, which is an at first glance surprising result. The aim of the manuscript is to raise awareness of challenges in the calibration of finite mixture models and to provide an overview about available techniques.

Abstract
The isothermal section of the Gd-Ni-In system at T = 870 K was constructed by means of X-ray powder diffraction and EDX analyses. Thirteen ternary compounds, namely GdNi9In2 (YNi9In2 type), Gd1−1.22Ni4In1-0.78 (MgCu4Sn type), GdNiIn2 (MgCuAl2 type), Gd4Ni11In20 (U4Ni11Ga20 type), GdNi1.0-0.7In1.0-1.3 (ZrNiAl type), Gd2Ni2In (Mn2AlB2 type), Gd2Ni1.78In (Mo2FeB2 type), Gd11Ni4In9 (Nd11Pd4In9 type), Gd12Ni6In (Sm12Ni6In type), Gd6Ni2.39In0.61 (Ho6Co2Ga type), Gd14Ni3.29In2.71 (Lu14Co3In3 type), Gd3Ni0.05In0.95 (AuCu3 type) and ~Gd6Ni2In exist in the Gd-Ni-In system at this temperature. The substitution of Ni for In was observed for GdNi1.0-0.7In1.0-1.3 and of In for Gd for Gd1-1.22Ni4In1-0.78. Besides, Gd can enter the structure of NiIn (CoSn type) leading to a solid solution Gd0-0.14NiIn1-0.98.

ABSTRACT
There is a great appreciation for the application of physiological monitoring within competition for individual sports. Physiological monitoring allows feedback on exercise dose-response, exercise intensity, and exercise performance. Both subjective and objective parameters are commonly measured in the field sports, but research investigating the accuracy and applicability of monitoring tools in a competitive environment for individual athletes is limited. This narrative review highlights the strengths and weaknesses of individual devices to measure a variety of parameters, including physiological performance, and biochemical and subjective parameters. Based on an analysis of the existing scientific literature, practical applications are provided for coaches.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
New ground-based remote sensing techniques developed over the past decade present solutions to many challenges associated with traditional in situ monitoring of mass movement hazards. In particular, ground-based interferometric radar (GBIR) and terrestrial laser scanners (TLSs) are ideal candidates for application to rockfall hazard monitoring, owing to high precision in displacement sensitivity and spatial resolution, respectively. Through controlled experiments with a synthetic rock specimen and measurements of induced rock movements in the field, this study aims to quantify lower bounds of repeatable displacement detection for single rock targets using GBIR and to compare the results to total station and TLS measurements. One investigation used a synthetic rock that was moved with precisely controlled displacements to determine the lower bound threshold and accuracy of the GBIR for detecting translational movements of a realistic rock-like scatterer. This study found that the GBIR system was capable of reliably measuring displacements as low as about 0.2 mm with accuracy in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 mm. A controlled study was also performed at a field site where boulders were displaced at millimeter-scale increments and measured using the GBIR, a total station, and a TLS. Results from this portion of the study showed consistent results between the three measurement techniques within measurement error bounds.

One of the main learning problems in school today is the low absorptive capacity of students as evidenced by the average of the student’s learning outcomes is always still under KKM. The reason is that the learning conditions are still conventional and is still teacher centered learning so it does not touch the dimensional realm of the students themselves. The learning method implemented by the teacher is more dominated by teachers, so students tend to be passive and not given access to develop independently. This illustrates that the process of learning that takes place is not optimal. Efforts to achieve a high absorption students is realized by applying an active learning and fun. Appropriate learning method is a method of role playing. Learning to use the method of role playing is learning that requires students to actively participate in the learning and mastery learning materials development of imagination. The purpose of this study to apply the method of role playing in order to enhance the activity and the cognitive achievement of students on the material excretory system in SMPN 1 Batang. The study population was half of second class VIII SMP N 1 Batang and sample used is class VIII A and VIII E. Design study used is a quasi-experimental design from of pretest-posttest control group design. The results showed that the implementation of the method of role playing on learning excretory system can increase the activity and cognitive learning outcomes. The result of the increase was gotten in using N-Gain. Results obtained from the data that there is signifiant difference between the results before and after treatment (pretest-posttest). Based on the test results of N-gain, increased cognitive achievement experimental class (VIII A) amounted to 0.633 (moderate) and grade control (VIII E) 0.32 (moderate). Based on t test, showed that the value probability (sig.) <0.05 then Ho is rejected and Ha accepted. It means that there are differences in cognitive learning outcomes significantly between the control and the experimental class. The activity of students in class VIII A of 82.27% (very active) and VIII E amounted to 75.50% (Active). This indicates that the use of role playing method can increase the activity and cognitive learning outcomes of students.

RELATIONAL CONCEPTIONS OF JUSTICE: RESPONSIBILITIES FOR HEALTH OUTCOMES
Authors: Pogge Thomas W. 
Published: July 2019

Numa sociedade democrática, as regras sociais são impostas a cada um por todos. Como “recebedores” de tais regras, tendemos a pensar que elas deviam ser designadas para engendrar a melhor distribuição possível de bens e males ou qualidade de vida. Enquanto autores das regras, tendemos a pensar que os malefícios por nós impostos através de tais regras têm maior peso moral que os danos que nós meramente deixamos de evitar ou mitigar. Embora as atuais teorias (consequencialistas e rawlsianas) sejam dominadas pela primeira perspectiva, uma concepção adequada da justiça exige um balanceamento de ambas tendências. O tema da equidade na saúde é bem apropriado para mostrar como concepções da justiça puramente dirigidas aos recebedores estão fadadas ao fracasso e como esboçar uma alternativa mais promissora.

Currently, the diagnosis of acute myeloid lekemia is based on the standards of morphological studies and immunophenotyping of the bone marrow. The manifestation of the disease can be accompanied by extramedullary lesions, which are difficult to verify. The article presents a case of diagnosis of acute myeloid lekemia in an elderly w oman, occurring with a leukemic lesion of the small in - testine. Morphological studies and immunophenotyping of small intestine biopsy revealed acute myeloid lekemia blast tumor cells. Difficulties of examination in such cases lead to late revealing of leukemic infiltrates of rare localization and significantly worsen the prognosis.

Published: July 2019

Background: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand, and the presence of anaemia further potentiates this imbalance. The burden of anaemia in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is significant. Anaemia has the potential to worsen myocardial ischemic insult by decreasing the oxygen content of the blood supplied to the jeopardized myocardium. Present study investigates the prevalence of anaemia in ACS patients attending a tertiary health care institute.Methods: A total of 148 patients with ACS were recruited in the study from July 2018 to October 2018 in Multan institute of cardiology, Pakistan. All patients were subjected to a detailed history and thorough clinical examination and investigations after obtaining informed consent. Patient having any other diseases known to cause anaemia were excluded.Results: Mean age of patients was 49 years. Out of 148, 114 (77%) were males and 34(23%) were females. Prevalence of anaemia was 38% in Male and 58.8% in Female. Among Male, 18.8% were microcytic, 4.54% were macrocytic and 77.27% were normocytic. Among Female, 50% were microcytic and 50%% were normocytic. Prevalence of ACS was higher is patients with diabetes and hypertension combined (31%) than in patient with diabetes alone (17.56%) or hypertension alone (21.62%). 13.51% were pure vegetarians while 78.37% were on mixed diet consisting of vegetables+meat+pulses.Conclusions: Higher incidence of anaemia was reported in subjects having acute coronary syndrome. Incidence of anaemia in STEMI patients was greater than NSTEMI and unstable angina patients. Severe form of acute coronary syndrome i.e. STEMI was associated with higher incidence of anaemia.
