Published: February 2018

Amaç: Bu
çalışmada amaç; balık tüketimi sıklığı ile osteoporoz (OP) arasındaki ilişkiyi
değerlendirmektir. Materyal
ve metot: Bu çalışmada 45 ile 75 yaş aralığında post menapozal kadın
hastaların kayıtları incelendi. Çalışma kriterleine uyan 152 post menapozal kadın
hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Olgular, haftalık balık tüketim alışkanlığı 250
gram ve üzerinde olanlar Grup 1 ve balık tüketim alışkanlığı haftalık 250
gramın altında olanlar Grup 2 olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Osteoporoz tanısında
yaygın olarak Dual Enerji X Ray Absorbsiyometri (DEXA) yöntemi
kullanıldığından, bu çalışmada da kemik mineral içeriğini (gram:g) iki enerji
X-ray absorbsiyometri (DEXA) cihazı verilerine göre sınıflandırma yapıldı. Olguların
tüm vücut ve total kalça taramaları aracılığıyla KMY (g/cm2)

esas alındı) ve T-SKOR ise L2-L4 değerlerine göre klinik tanılar; osteoporoz,
osteopeni ve normal olarak sınıflandırıldıBulgular: Olguların
45’i (%29,60) Grup 1’de, 107’sinin ise (%70,40) Grup 2’de yer alandığı tespit
edildi. Grup 1’deki olguların %19,73 (n:30) ve Grup 2’deki olguların %1,97
(n:3) KMY normal değerlerde tespit edildi. Bu değer balık tüketim alışkanlığı
olmayan gruba göre karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak (p&lt;0,05) anlamlı olarak bulundu.
Osteoporoz tespit edilen olgular Grup 1’de %10,20 (n:5) ve Grup 2’de ise %89,79 (n:44), osteopeni Grup 1’deki olguların %14,28 (n:10) ve Grup 2’deki
olguların %85,72’sinde (n:60) tespit edilmiştir. Bu değerler arasında fark olmakla birlikte
balık tüketim alışkanlığı olmayan gruba göre karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı (p&gt;0,05) değildi.
Ancak balık tüketim alışkanlığı olan Grup 1’deki sadece beş olguda osteoporoz ile
uyumlu olduğu görüldü. Elde edilen değerler istatistiksel olarak anlamlı (p&lt;0,05)
olduğu tespit edildi.Sonuç: Bu çalışma verilerine göre; menopoz
sonrası dönemdeki kadınlarda haftalık balık tüketiminin 250 gram ve üzerinde
olan olgularda KMY üzerine olumlu etki yaptığı ve oteoporoz riskini azalttığı
tespit edildi.

Revenue and Expenditure Structure of Vyas Municipality
Authors: Sharma Devi Lal 
Published: February 2018

The local governments or the municipalities are responsible to provide administrative services to the local level and to develop infrastructures to provide physical facilities to municipal people. Thus, the major functions of the municipalities are the building up the infrastructure and supra structure and protecting public places and so on. To conduct such philanthropic works it is essential to sustain themselves financially. This study has intense relation with revenue and expenditure of Vyas Municipalities regarding the objectives to analyze, examine and interpret the Revenue and Expenditure. Descriptive research design has been adopted to conduct present study. Under the descriptive research design this study focuses on analyzing income and expenditure pattern of Vyas municipality thus case study approach has been followed to conduct this research. There are 243 municipalities in Nepal which are considered as the population of this study. Among them Vyas municipality is taken as sample using convenience sampling method. This study focuses on municipal revenue and expenditure thus based on secondary data. Vyas municipality largely depends upon the revenue raised from external sources to fulfill the financial requirements. The total revenue has been occupied by internal revenue and external revenue. The average growth rate of internal revenue has been greater than external revenue during the study period. Vyas municipality itself has been suffering from financial inadequacy. So unnecessary expenditure made for the consumption purpose should be cut off. Expenditure made for unproductive sectors should be minimized and utilized effectively.

Published: February 2018

The calcifying odontogenic cyst (cocc) is a developmental odontogenic cyst,which was first categorized as a distinct entity by Gorlin in 1962.It is an unusual and unique lesion,which may show characteristics of both a solid neoplasm and a cyst. It usually occurs as an intraosseouslesion but may occasionally occur as an extraosseous or peripheral variant.It shows a newly equal distribution between the maxilla and mandible and is commonly seen anterior to the first molar.The clinical and radiographic features of this lesion are not pathognomic,and it is characterized by its histological diversity,with the most characteristic feature being the presence of a variable number of ghost cells within the epithelial component.Treatment of choice for COC is surgical enucleation which is done in a conservative mannerand recurrences are unlikely. This report describes a case of COC of a 26yrs old female in association with swelling on left side of maxilla since 2 years.

Published: February 2018

Supracondylar fracture is the most common fracture in children and yet are not treated timely or properly leading to various complications, cubitusvarus being the most common delayed complication1-5. There are various osteotomies that have been proposed for correcting cubitusvarus, but they all have their limitations. In this case study, we have reviewed the functional and cosmetic results of a simple lateral closing wedge osteotomy. A lateral closing wedge osteotomy was done for cubitusvarus of the right elbow of a 17 years old girl following a neglected supracondylar fracture of the right humerus.The carrying angle which was 18⁰ preoperatively became 12⁰ postoperatively following which the patient did not have any difficulty in fully flexing the elbow and could swing her upper limb freely while walking. Closing wedge supracondylar osteotomy is an effective treatment for cubitusvarus both functionally and cosmetically.

Abstract
We explore to what extent stars within Galactic disk open clusters resemble each other in the high-dimensional space of their photospheric element abundances and contrast this with pairs of field stars. Our analysis is based on abundances for 20 elements, homogeneously derived from APOGEE spectra (with carefully quantified uncertainties of typically 0.03 dex). We consider 90 red giant stars in seven open clusters and find that most stars within a cluster have abundances in most elements that are indistinguishable (in a

-sense) from those of the other members, as expected for stellar birth siblings. An analogous analysis among pairs of

field stars shows that highly significant abundance differences in the 20 dimensional space can be established for the vast majority of these pairs, and that the APOGEE-based abundance measurements have high discriminating power. However, pairs of field stars whose abundances are indistinguishable even at 0.03 dex precision exist: ∼0.3% of all field star pairs and ∼1.0% of field star pairs at the same (solar) metallicity [Fe/H] = 0 ± 0.02. Most of these pairs are presumably not birth siblings from the same cluster, but rather doppelgängers. Our analysis implies that “chemical tagging” in the strict sense, identifying birth siblings for typical disk stars through their abundance similarity alone, will not work with such data. However, our approach shows that abundances have extremely valuable information for probabilistic chemo-orbital modeling, and combined with velocities, we have identified new cluster members from the field.

Abstract
We present new Herschel observations of four massive, Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect–selected clusters at

, two of which have also been observed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). We detect 19 Herschel/Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) counterparts to spectroscopically confirmed cluster members, five of which have redshifts determined via CO (4–3) and [C i] (

) lines. The mean [C i]/CO line ratio is 0.19 ± 0.07 in brightness temperature units, consistent with previous results for field samples. We do not detect significant stacked ALMA dust continuum or spectral-line emission, implying upper limits on mean interstellar medium (H2 + H i) and molecular gas masses. An apparent anticorrelation of

with clustercentric radius is driven by the tight relation between star formation rate and stellar mass. We find an average specific star formation rate of log(sSFR/yr−1) = −10.36, which is below the

correlation measured for field galaxies at similar redshifts. The fraction of infrared-bright galaxies (IRBGs;

) per cluster and average sSFR rise significantly with redshift. For CO detections, we find

, comparable to those of field galaxies, and gas depletion timescales of about 2 Gyr. We use radio observations to distinguish active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from star-forming galaxies. At least four of our 19 Herschel cluster members have

Resurrecting the Power-law, Intermediate, and Logamediate Inflations in the DBI Scenario with Constant Sound Speed

Published: February 2018

Abstract
We investigate the power-law, intermediate, and logamediate inflationary models in the framework of DBI non-canonical scalar field with constant sound speed. In the DBI setting, we first represent the power spectrum of both scalar density and tensor gravitational perturbations. Then, we derive different inflationary observables including the scalar spectral index n

s
, the running of the scalar spectral index

, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio r. We show that the 95% CL constraint of the Planck 2015 T + E data on the non-Gaussianity parameter

leads to the sound speed bound

in the DBI inflation. Moreover, our results imply that, although the predictions of the power-law, intermediate, and logamediate inflations in the standard canonical framework (c

s
= 1) are not consistent with the Planck 2015 data, in the DBI scenario with constant sound speed

, the result of the

diagram for these models can lie inside the 68% CL region favored by Planck 2015 TT,TE,EE+lowP data. We also specify the parameter space of the power-law, intermediate, and logamediate inflations for which our models are compatible with the 68% or 95% CL regions of the Planck 2015 TT,TE,EE+lowP data. Using the allowed ranges of the parameter space of the intermediate and logamediate inflationary models, we estimate the running of the scalar spectral index and find that it is compatible with the 95% CL constraint from the Planck 2015 TT,TE,EE+lowP data.
Photospheric and Coronal Abundances in an X8.3 Class Limb Flare
Authors: Doschek G. A. , Warren H. P. , Harra L. K. , Culhane J. L. , Watanabe T. , Hara H. 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
We analyze solar elemental abundances in coronal post-flare loops of an X8.3 flare (SOL2017-09-10T16:06) observed on the west limb on 2017 September 10 near 18 UT using spectra recorded by the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on the Hinode spacecraft. The abundances in the corona can differ from photospheric abundances due to the first ionization potential (FIP) effect. In some loops of this flare, we find that the abundances appear to be coronal at the loop apices or cusps, but steadily transform from coronal to photospheric as the loop footpoint is approached. This result is found from the intensity ratio of a low-FIP ion spectral line (Ca xiv) to a high-FIP ion spectral line (Ar xiv) formed at about the same temperature (4–5 MK). Both lines are observed close in wavelength. Temperature, which could alter the interpretation, does not appear to be a factor based on intensity ratios of Ca xv lines to a Ca xiv line. We discuss the abundance result in terms of the Laming model of the FIP effect, which is explained by the action of the ponderomotive force in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in coronal loops and in the underlying chromosphere.
Models of the Mass-ejection Histories of Pre-planetary Nebulae. II. The Formation of Minkowski’s Butterfly and its Proboscis in M2–9
Authors: Balick Bruce , Frank Adam , Liu Baowei , Corradi Romano 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
M2–9, or the “Minkowski’s Butterfly,” is one of the most iconic outflow sources from an evolved star. In this paper we present a hydrodynamic model of M2–9 in which the nebula is formed and shaped by a steady, low-density (“light”), mildly collimated “spray” of gas injected at 200 km s−1 that interacts with a far denser, intrinsically simple pre-existing AGB wind that has slowly formed all of the complex features within M2–9’s lobes (including the knot pairs N3/S3 and N4/S4 at their respective leading edges, and the radial gradient of Doppler shifts within 20″ of the nucleus). We emphasize that the knot pairs are not ejected from the star but formed in situ. In addition, the observed radial speed of the knots is only indirectly related to the speed of the gas injected by the star. The model allows us to probe the early history of the wind geometry and lobe formation. We also formulate a new estimate of the nebular distance D = 1.3 kpc. The physical mechanism that accounts for the linear radial speed gradient in M2–9 applies generally to many other pre-planetary nebulae whose hollow lobes exhibit similar gradients along their edges.
The NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database: Computational Version 3.00 with Updated Content and the Introduction of Multiple Scaling Factors
Authors: Bauschlicher Charles W. , Ricca A. , Boersma C. , Allamandola L. J. 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Version 3.00 of the library of computed spectra in the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database (PAHdb) is described. Version 3.00 introduces the use of multiple scale factors, instead of the single scaling factor used previously, to align the theoretical harmonic frequencies with the experimental fundamentals. The use of multiple scale factors permits the use of a variety of basis sets; this allows new PAH species to be included in the database, such as those containing oxygen, and yields an improved treatment of strained species and those containing nitrogen. In addition, the computed spectra of 2439 new PAH species have been added. The impact of these changes on the analysis of an astronomical spectrum through database-fitting is considered and compared with a fit using Version 2.00 of the library of computed spectra. Finally, astronomical constraints are defined for the PAH spectral libraries in PAHdb.
Lutter contre les discriminations ou promouvoir la diversité en matière d'emploi ? Histoire d'une action publique en Région de Bruxelles-Capitale (1997-2012)
Authors: Tandé Alexandre 
Published: February 2018

A la fin des années 1990, la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale engage des actions pour lutter contre les discriminations liées à l'origine étrangère dans le domaine de l'emploi. Dans une perspective socio-historique, mobilisant sources orales et documentaires, cet article retrace les conditions de création de cette politique publique, les actions expérimentales des premières années, puis sa transformation au milieu des années 2000. En même temps qu'elle est consolidée (inscription dans le droit régional de nouveaux dispositifs, constitution d'une cellule bruxelloise de consultants en diversité), cette politique se voit aussi réorientée vers un nouvel objectif, la promotion de la diversité. Or si lutte contre les discriminations et promotion de la diversité sont souvent présentées comme les « deux faces d'une même pièce », ces deux objectifs peuvent aussi diverger ou s'opposer. Revenir sur l'histoire de cette politique bruxelloise, ses évolutions et son impact, permet alors d'interroger les réponses actuelles à deux défis majeurs de l'agglomération : les inégalités d'accès à l'emploi et la reconnaissance de la diversité socio-culturelle.

Abstract
ILDR2 is a member of the Ig superfamily, which is implicated in tricellular tight junctions, and has a putative role in pancreatic islet health and survival. We recently found a novel role for ILDR2 in delivering inhibitory signals to T cells. In this article, we show that short-term treatment with ILDR2-Fc results in long-term durable beneficial effects in the relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and NOD type 1 diabetes models. ILDR2-Fc also promotes transplant engraftment in a minor mismatch bone marrow transplantation model. ILDR2-Fc displays a unique mode of action, combining immunomodulation, regulation of immune homeostasis, and re-establishment of Ag-specific immune tolerance via regulatory T cell induction. These findings support the potential of ILDR-Fc to provide a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Background Childhood obesity preventive interventions should promote a healthy diet and physical activity at home and school. This study aims to describe a school-based childhood obesity preventive programme (POIBA Project) targeting 8-to-12- year-olds. Design and methods Evaluation study of a school-based intervention with a pre-post quasi-experimental design and a comparison group. Schools from disadvantaged neighbourhoods are oversampled. The intervention consists of 9 sessions, including 58 activities of a total duration between 9 and 13 hours, and the booster intervention of 2 sessions with 8 activities lasting 3 or 4 hours. They are multilevel (individual, family and school) and multicomponent (classroom, physical activity and family). Data are collected through anthropometric measurements, physical fitness tests and lifestyle surveys before and after the intervention and the booster intervention. In the intervention group, families complete two questionnaires about their children's eating habits and physical activity. The outcome variable is the cumulative incidence rate of obesity, obtained from body mass index values and body fat assessed by triceps skinfold thickness. The independent variables are socio-demographic, contextual, eating habits, food frequency, intensity of physical activity and use of new technologies. Expected impact for public health It is essential to implement preventive interventions at early ages and to follow its effects over time. Interventions involving diet and physical activity are the most common, being the most effective setting the school. The POIBA Project intervenes in both the school and family setting and focuses on the most disadvantaged groups, in which obesity is most pronounced and difficult to prevent.
