Blunted Overnight Blood Pressure Dipping in Second Trimester; A Strong Predictor of Gestational Hypertension and Preeclampsia
Authors: Saremi Abo Taleb , Shafiee Mohammad-Ali , Montazeri Mahdi , Rashidi Negin , Montazeri Mohammad 
Published: September 2018

Background:
Preeclampsia is a global burden with 10 million incidences annually and
210 daily deaths worldwide. Diagnosis is mainly based on the features following full presentation.

Objective:
This study explored whether early pregnancy circadian changes of ambulatory blood
pressure monitoring (ABPM) could predict preeclampsia and hypertension.

Methods:
In a prospective study, 294 pregnant women who were referred to Sarem Women’s Hospital,
Iran were recruited. Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures (MAP) were recorded
(diurnally and nocturnally) in each trimester. Dipping was defined as a minimum 10% decrease in
blood pressure.

Results:
Of the 251 women who completed the study, 25 percent (n=63) experienced blunted MAP
dipping during sleep phases in the second trimester. Eighty-nine percent (n=56) experienced hypertensive
disorder in the third trimester, one-third of which experienced preeclampsia. Of the women
with normal MAP dipping (n=188), 5 percent (n=10) had gestational hypertension and 1 percent
(n=2) became preeclamptic. (P<0.0001).

Conclusion:
This study clearly demonstrated blunted blood pressure dipping overnight during the
second trimester which is a strong predictor of forthcoming pregnancy-induced hypertension and
preeclampsia. A scoring system was developed to predict hypertensive disorder and it was significantly
correlated with preeclampsia occurrence.

Authors: Conversano Ciro , Marchi Laura , Ciacchini Rebecca , Carmassi Claudia , Contena Bastianina , Bazzichi Laura Maria , Gemignani Angelo 
Published: September 2018

Introduction:
Fibromyalgia (FM) is the second most common rheumatic disease with many effects on patient's quality of life. It has been described as a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculo-skeletal pain, sleep disorders and prominent fatigue. Regarding the role of personality factors in fibromyalgia, researchers have focused both on personality traits and psychopathological aspects showing inconsistent results. In particular, several studies have examined the role of alexithymia in FM patients, a trait of personality characterized by difficulty in identification, recognition and description of emotions and feelings, while others have focused on a specific type of personality, such as type D personality (distressed personality). Other studies investigated personality in FM patients referring to Cloninger’s model, a psychobiological model of personality that includes both temperamental and character dimensions of personality. Analyzing scientific literature on this subject seems well suited to provide a critical review of the latest studies and their results.

Methods:
The method used for this review satisfies the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). We identified PsycInfo and PubMed as databases for our research.

Results:
Personality is studied under many aspects and a reference model is not always present. Many studies underline high levels of alexithymia and type D personality in FM patients but when depression is controlled, these results do not differ from those of healthy controls.

Conclusion:
Studies that use a comprehensive model of personality present a different theoretical approach and use alternatively the Big-Five model, Eysenck’s and Cloninger’s models. The use of a comprehensive model of personality and the control of psychopathological disorders, such as anxiety and depression, seem to be very relevant for a better understanding of a specific personality profile associated with fibromyalgia.
Probabilistic Verification of Structural Stability Design Procedures
Authors: Kala Zdeněk 
Published: September 2018

Introduction:
This contribution presents a comparison of three methods of the statistical computation of the design load-carrying capacity of a steel plane frame. Two approaches of the European Standard Eurocode 3 and one stochastic approach are applied. The stochastic approach takes into account the random influence of all imperfections and can be applied to the reliability verification of design according to Eurocode 3.

Methods:
The columns and beams in the steel frame are modelled with beam elements using the stability solution with buckling length and the geometrically nonlinear solution. The stochastic computational model is based on the geometrically nonlinear solution and on the random influence of initial imperfections, whose random samplings are simulated using the Monte Carlo method.

Results and Conclusion:
The design load-carrying capacity of the steel plane frame computed using the stability solution with buckling length is in good agreement with the stochastic solution in which the design value is calculated as 0.1 percentile. On the contrary, the geometrically nonlinear solution according to Eurocode 3 gives the lowest (safest) values of design load-carrying capacity.
Teff, A Rising Global Crop: Current Status of Teff Production and Value Chain
Authors: Lee Hyejin 
Published: September 2018

Introduction:
The global dominance of the three crops, maize, wheat, and rice in the current food system has raised an alarm. Heavy dependence on these crops can limit our capacity to deal with food shortage and dietary imbalance.

Explanation:
Teff (Eragrostis tef), a warm-season annual cereal, is one of the underutilized crops that can contribute to food security and crop diversification. Teff contains high and unique nutritional values, which will meet the need of health-conscious consumers. It is also a low risk crop, which resists many biotic and abiotic stresses. Currently, Ethiopia is the largest teff producing country, and the only country to have adopted teff as a staple crop. However, the teff production and value chain in Ethiopia largely rely on traditional practices, and the teff market is limited by the government’s export ban. Instead, other countries such as USA are increasingly participating in the teff market.

Conclusion:
This study investigates the current status of teff production and value chain mainly in Ethiopia. The results suggest what areas Ethiopia should improve to take the lead in the rising teff market, and in what way others may participate.
Evaluating Helmet Use Among Motorcycle Drivers in Lebanon
Authors: Akl Ziad , Akl Mona , Eriksson Charli , Gifford Mervyn , Koustuv Dalal 
Published: September 2018

Background:
The impact of the use of helmet by motorcyclists on motorcycle injuries is enormous. The primary focus of this study was to asses the helmet use among motorcycle riders as well as the helmet quality.

Methods:
Both quantitative and qualitative studies had been done. Nine observational studies have been done over nine different years between 1997 and 2017 in the same spots. In addition to one qualitative study done in May 2017.

Results:
The results of the observational studies show a clear fluctuation in the use of helmets (6 - 42%). Whenever there is law enforcement, the percentage of users increases. Upon cessation of enforcement, the percentage of helmet use reduces. About 64% of the helmets inspected did not appear to have a certification, which indicates that the helmet did not meet international standards. Those who had spent less than US$15 on buying their helmets were found wearing a non-certified helmet.

Conclusion:
Lebanon has failed to pursue a successful and sustainable implementation of the enforcement of helmet use. Although strict enforcement measures are vital, it is almost as important to ban the import of poor quality helmets to the Lebanese market and to make sure that taxation is lower on helmets to enable consumers to buy good quality helmets at a lower price.

Authors: Pashkevich V.V. , Eroshkin G.I. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The main purposes of this research are to obtain Lagrange function for the relativistic rotation of the rigid body, which is generated by metric properties of Riemann space of general relativity and to derive the differential equations, determining the rigid body rotation in the terms of the Rodrigues - Hamilton parameters. The Lagrange function for the relativistic rotation of the rigid body is derived from the Lagrange function of the nonrotation point of masses system in the relativistic approximation.
Investigation of Deformations of the Earth Crust on the Territory of Ukraine Using a Gnss Observations
Authors: Ishchenko M. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
A regional GNSS network consisting of 202 permanent GNSS stations established to study the recent crustal strain deformation in the Ukrainian territory. The GNSS observations (from December 7, 1997 to January 28, 2017) collected and processed using Bernese GNSS Software ver. 5.2 in accordance with the recommendations of the Central Bureau of the EUREF Permanent GNSS Network. Based on the above results the velocity vectors were estimated using Bernese GNSS Software ver. 5.2 for the future calculation of deformation. In particular, ellipses of distortion, rotation, maximum shear strain, and deformation area are obtained. Due to the differences in rate of the horizontal extension and rotation the area is divided in two main blocks. The first block shows compression that prevails in the North-East direction. Stretch in both directions is prevailing on second block. The obtained results can indicate the presence of some force which could effect on the study area.

Dalam penelitian ini, diterapkan peringkasan multidokumen otomatis dengan menggunakan Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) untuk mendapatkan topic signature, dan Maximal Marginal Relevance pada artikel dengan topik penyakit menular untuk mendapatkan ringkasan dengan sedikit perulangan informasi. Penelitian ini menghasilkan ringkasan dengan nilai akurasi sebesar 0,4 (dengan menggunakan ROUGE-S9). Selain itu, dalam penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa topic signature (beserta akurasinya) memegang peran penting dalam proses peringkasan dokumen otomatis.
CONFLICTO ENTRE EL DERECHO A LA INTIMIDAD DE LOS PERSONAJES PÚBLICOS Y LA LIBERTAD DE EXPRESIÓN
Authors: Grandez Rojas Cecilia Margarita 
Published: September 2018

En la realidad jurídica el derecho a la intimidad personal de los personajes públicos y el derecho a la libertad de expresión e información por parte de los sistemas mediáticos se encuentran en una confrontación constante, por ello, respondiendo al interés jurídico social, se desarrolló la teoría conflictivista, en donde se señala que el derecho a la libertad de expresión e información debe primar debido a su jerarquías; por otro lado, la teoría de la armonización indica que no existe conflicto jurídico entre estos derechos sino un conflicto de intereses que deben ser armonizados, por ende en esta investigación se propone establecer de ambos derechos su límite como contenido esencial y constitucional del derecho, para delimitarlos cuando se encuentren en un conflicto y puedan ser armonizados
Revisiting the European Teacher Education Area: The Transformation of Teacher Education Policies and Practices in Europe
Authors: Symeonidis Vasileios 
Published: September 2018

Within the broader landscape of the European Higher Education Area, teacher education receives increasing significance as an academic field that contributes to the quality of the teaching labour force and consequentlyimpacts student learning. This paper aims to explore the European Teacher Education Area (ETEA) by analysing to what extent and how mechanisms, processes, and key agents of Europeanisation, internal or external to the European Union (EU), influence the transformation of teacher education policies and practices in Europe. Transformation is understood in the context of Europeanisation, and emphasis of the analysis is placed on the process rather than the content of transforming teacher education in Europe. To this end, data have been collected through document review and expert interviews with European policy officials. As a result of qualitative content analysis, the data have been clustered and analysed according to the following categories, which mutually reinforce each other: (1) policy coordination; (2) cross-sectoral instruments; (3) evidence-based management; (4) the Bologna process; (5) educational programmes; and (6) stakeholder pressure. Findingsprovide a conceptual framework for mapping the ETEA as a complex policy ecosystem that includes vertical and horizontal procedures of Europeanisation. The EU has developed extensive capacities to influence teacher education in Europe and increasingly involves other sectors, such as employment, in this process.

Published: September 2018

The aim of this study was to validity of the Portuguese version of the Clinician Attitudes Toward Biostatistics (CATB) among dentistry postgraduate students. The CATB is a psychometric instrument four-factor. We evaluated the validity (λ, X2/df, CFI, TLI e RMSEA) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha (α) and Composite Reliability (CR)) of the instrument to the sample. It took part of the study 115 postgraduate students (62 master’s students, 80 women, average age 26 ± 4 years). The four-factor model did not fit the sample (λ=0.00-0.85, X2/df=1.83, CFI=0.85 e TLI=0.82 e RMSEA=0.09). After the fit of the refined orthogonal two-factor model (“Perceptions of Knowledge/Training” and “Perceptions of Biostatistics in Research and Scientific Evidence”) was found to be adequate (λ>0.45, X2/df≤2.00; CFI e TLI>0.90, RMSEA≤0.10, α e CR>0.70). The “Perception of Knowledge/Training of Biostatistics” factor was not found to be correlated with the “Perception of Biostatistics in Research and Scientific Evidence”.

Published: September 2018

O nosso objetivo com o presente artigo é avaliar os efeitos de erros de especificação nas inferências do modelo de regressão beta com dispersão variável. Para isto, um estudo de simulação foi realizado. Neste estudo, a variável resposta foi gerada com distribuição beta assumindo covariáveis e funções de ligação conhecidas, em sequência, o modelo foi ajustado sob a especificação correta e incorreta considerando seis tipos de erros de especificação. Avaliamos os efeitos destes erros através de taxas de rejeição e taxas de cobertura em relação a um dos parâmetros do submodelo da média e, além disso, avaliamos também o viés relativo e o erro quadrático médio em relação às estimativas das respostas médias. Verificamos através dos resultados obtidos que os erros de especificação que envolviam o preditor linear da estrutura de regressão do parâmetro de precisão apresentaram uma influência considerável nas inferências do modelo. Por fim, realizamos uma aplicação a dados reais com o objetivo de comparar na prática os efeitos de diferentes formas de especificação nas inferências do modelo de regressão beta com dispersão variável.

FOREST FIRE SUSCEPTIBILITY ANALYSIS OF KAHRAMANMARAS PROVINCE
Authors: ESEN Fatma , AVCİ Vedat 
Published: September 2018

﻿Kahramanmaras province is located in an area where Mediterranean, Eastern Anatolia and Southeast Anatolia eco-regions are the nearest to each other. Southern regions of the province, in particular, are dominated by Mediterranean climate and correspond to high susceptible areas in terms of forest fires. In this study, the distribution of forest fires in Kahramanmaras province was analyzed based on the outbreak points of 376 forest fires (2012-2017) recorded by Kahramanmaras Regional Directorate of Forestry. This analysis was carried out considering the factors affecting forest fire risk (vegetation, altitude, slope, aspect, temperature, precipitation, distance to settlement, distance to roads). By using GIS (Geographical Information Systems) techniques and AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method, fire-susceptible areas were mapped in Kahramanmaras province at the end of the analysis conducted based on the distribution of the number of forest fires by factors that affect fire. Accordingly, 46.2% of Kahramanmaras province are high susceptible to forest fire, 47.6% are very high and 4.1% are extremely susceptible. The moderate susceptible areas are 30.197 ha, accounting for only 2.1% of the province land. There is no low susceptible area. All these values ​​indicate that the geographical conditions at the location where the province is located are high susceptible to forest fires.

Authors: Chávez-Piña Aracely Evangelina , Abril-Urías Reyes Roderico , Cerecedo Doris 
Published: September 2018

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used type of drugs, as they are very effective as antiinflammatory,
anti-pyretic and analgesic. Their use has increased dramatically over the years even without a medicalprescription¸however the use of NSAIDs is limited due to the adverse effect in the gastrointestinal tract, heart and kidney. Thisresearch work is focused on the adverse effect in the gastrointestinal tract. The mechanisms involved in gastric damage caused byNSAIDs are well known compared to those in the intestinal area. Research on NSAID-induced intestinal damage is very limited,despite its higher mortality rate, partially due to the difficulty of reaching this area. Therefore, this review mentions some of themechanisms involved in small intestinal damage to help as a reference to continue doing research about new strategies to come upwith an effective clinical therapy.
