Analysis of the Cochrane Review: Cortisteroid Implants for Chronic Non-Infectious Uveitis. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2016;2:CD010469
Authors: Leal Inês , Sousa David Cordeiro , Costa João , Vaz-Carneiro António 
Published: June 2018

Non-infectious uveitis is a heterogeneous collection of inflammatory eye diseases and is one of the most important causes of blindness among active adults in developed countries. Inflammation control is crucial in the prevention of ocular structural and functional damage. Regarding acute inflammatory control, corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment. Several types of intra-ocular corticosteroids have been used with the aim of enhanced efficacy compared to their topical or peri-ocular administration, while minimizing its adverse effects associated with the systemic administration. The purpose of this Cochrane review was to synthetize the available evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of corticosteroid implants in comparison with standard treatment. Due to the heterogeneity in the design of the studies and outcome measures assessed, authors could not conclude that implants are superior to traditional systemic therapy in Non-infectious uveitis. The safety analysis suggested increased risks of post-implant surgery for cataract and high intraocular pressure compared with standard-of-care therapy.

Introdução: As baterias clássicas de caracterização de afasia são demasiado longas para serem utilizadas no contexto do acidente vascular cerebral agudo ou como ferramenta de monitorização. O Aphasia Rapid Test é uma escala de 26 pontos desenvolvida como teste de cabeceira para avaliar a gravidade da afasia num doente com acidente vascular cerebral em menos de três minutos. O objetivo do estudo é adaptar e validar a escala para o português europeu.Material e Métodos: Foram avaliados 56 doentes com acidente vascular cerebral no primeiro e sétimo dia pós-acidente vascular cerebral. Ao sétimo dia, foram avaliados por dois avaliadores independentes para avaliar o acordo interavaliadores. Para estudar a validade concorrente, a 20 doentes foi aplicada também a Bateria de Avaliação de Afasias de Lisboa. A capacidade preditiva do Aphasia Rapid Test foi avaliada aos seis meses, através do valor da subescala de afasia do National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale.Resultados: A tradução para o português europeu baseou-se nas versões francesa e inglesa, respeitando a frequência de utilização das palavras. O α de Cronbach foi de 0,796. O coeficiente de concordância entre examinadores foi excelente (0,985). A correlação entre o Aphasia Rapid Test e a Bateria de Avaliação de Afasias de Lisboa é forte (r = -0,958, p < 0,001). Os gráficos de Bland-Altman corroboram as boas concordâncias interavaliadores e validade concorrente. O Aphasia Rapid Test no primeiro dia é preditor independente do resultado a longo prazo.Discussão: Este estudo apresenta resultados confiáveis para o português europeu, com valores de consistência interna, concordância interavaliadores e validade concorrente adequados.Conclusão: O Aphasia Rapid Test é um bom instrumento para avaliação e monitorização da afasia em doentes com acidente vascular cerebral.

Published: June 2018

Os corpos peritoneais livres são habitualmente diagnosticados de forma incidental. Apenas alguns casos estão documentados na literatura. A sua fisiopatologia não é totalmente conhecida, estando eventualmente relacionada com a torção e separação dos apêndices epiplóicos. É descrito o caso de um homem com 64 anos de idade, com uma lesão sólida esférica de 6 cm de diâmetro na cavidade pélvica, identificada incidentalmente por tomografia computorizada. Foi realizada laparotomia exploradora, identificando-se uma lesão livre, de morfologia ovoide e esbranquiçada. O exame histológico mostrou uma massa de esteatonecrose calcificada e capsulada. Foi feita uma revisão dos casos de corpos peritoneais livres gigantes descritos na literatura. A excisão cirúrgica é recomendada quando o diagnóstico é duvidoso ou quando as lesões são sintomáticas. Os médicos devem ter conhecimento desta entidade, para poderem estabelecer um diagnóstico e plano de tratamento corretos.

Abstrak

Pemerintah Daerah Provinsi Bali telah menetapkan Peraturan Daerah tentang Kawasan Tanpa Rokok (KTR) di Bali dan kampus ditetapkan sebagai salah satu KTR termasuk kampus Universitas Warmadewa (Unwar), akan tetapi masih banyak mahasiswa merokok pada KTR di kampus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengetahuan mahasiswa yang merokok pada KTR terhadap rokok dan KTR. Wawancara dilakukan terhadap 95 mahasiswa yang biasa merokok pada KTR di kampus Unwar yang dipilih dengan cara snow ball sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sebanyak 89,5% sampel adalah laki-laki, 84,2% tergolong perokok ringan-sedang, dan mereka merokok karena faktor lingkungan. Selain itu, sekitar 12,6% sampel memiliki pengetahuan baik tentang rokok, bahaya rokok, dan KTR. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa kebanyakan mahasiswa yang merokok pada KTR di kampus memiliki pemahaman yang kurang tehadap rokok, bahaya rokok, dan KTR yang menyebabkan mereka tidak peduli terhadap KTR sehingga mereka bebas dan tanpa beban merokok pada KTR di kampus. Sosialisasi tentang rokok dan KTR perlu ditingkatkan khusunya kepada mahasiwa perokok. Selain itu, perlu diperbanyak jumlah ruangan tempat merokok di kampus yang mudah diakses oleh perokok.

Abstract
[Knowledge of at-Campus-Smoker Students about Cigarett and No-Smoking Areas]

The Bali provincial government has enacted a regulation of smoke-free areas in Bali, and campus is one the public place with the restriction. However, there are many college students who smoke on the campus, including students of Warmadewa University. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge of smoker students about smoking and the smoking ban areas. A total of 95 students who smoked at Warmadewa campus were sampled by snowball method and were interviewed. The study showed that the at-campus smokers were mostly male students (89.5%) and 84.2% of them was mild-to-moderate smokers who smoked because of environmental factor. Only around 12.6% of the samples had good knowledge about cigarette, the harms of cigarette, and smoke-free area regulation. In conclusion, the students who smoked at the campus were mostly students who were not knowledgeable about the cigarette, the harms of cigarette, and smoke-free areas regulation, thus they felt free and were not guilty of smoking at no-smoking areas at the campus. Information dissemination on the harms of smoking and no-smoking areas are needed, especially for the smoking students. Additionally, more of accessible smoking spaces are needed at the campus for the smoker students.
Perceptions of the Persistent: Engagement and Learning Community in Underrepresented Populations
Authors: Athens Wendy 
Published: June 2018

In an effort to characterize perceptions of learning community and engagement in relation to success for underrepresented populations of online learners at a public institution in southeastern United States, a survey was conducted in Spring 2016. The results of the survey were paired with institutional data to create a baseline engagement and learning community profile for the online student population, which comprised 22% of total enrollments. The subpopulations of interest were: Age, gender, race/ethnicity, disability, Pell grant eligibility, first-generation, and orphan. For all students, a very strong positive relationship was observed between student perceptions of engagement and learning community and student outcomes (grades). This strong and positive relationship was confirmed across the subpopulations, but there were a few noteworthy exceptions: Hispanic and Black students were more engaged than Whites, but earned lower grades. Younger students and students with disabilities were less engaged than their counterparts, but earned equivalent grades. These patterns corresponded to withdrawal statistics, which revealed a higher percentage of young minority males withdrawing from online courses.

Published: June 2018

La composición taxonómica y composición de la dieta de una ensamble de peces en el lago Tupé durante la temporada de estiaje fueron estudiadas. El lago Tupé es se ubica en la parte Central Amazónica, de aguas negras en la cuenca del río Negro. En la temporada de inundación, los peces tienen acceso al bosque y pueden migrar libremente entre el lago y el río Negro, mientras que en época de estiaje estas opciones no están disponibles. Los peces fueron capturados en tres momentos durante el estiaje. Los especímenes fueron identificados, y para cada espécimen se examinó el grado de repleción del estómago, el contenido de tejido adiposo y el contenido del estómago. Con los resultados, las especies de peces fueron asignados a una clase trófica. Algunas especies no se pudieron asignar en cualquiera de estas clases y fueron considerados herbívoros inespecíficos, carnívoros u omnívoros inespecíficos. Las dos especies más abundantes fueron Acestrorhynchus falcirostris y Hemiodus immaculatus. El tipo de alimento más importante fue material vegetal y la clase trófica más abundante fue herbívoro especializado. El material vegetal generalmente se considera que desempeñan un papel de menor importancia en la dieta de los peces amazónicos. Esto apoya la conclusión de que durante el estiaje, la comunidad de peces en el lago Tupé basa en gran medida su dieta en la entrada alóctona de los alimentos. Por lo tanto, y debido al alto grado de competencia, muchas especies de peces realizan fuertes cambios en sus hábitos de alimentación.

Antidepressant drugs for older patients on polypharmacy: a systematic review reveals best evidence for sertraline
Authors: Stuhec Matej , Serra-Mestres Jordi 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Objectives
There is almost no data on antidepressant prescribing in older adults treated with polypharmacy, although this population represents approximately 50% of older patients. These patients are frequently excluded from double-blind randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses and existing treatment guidelines. The main aim of this paper was to identify data on antidepressant prescribing in depressed older adults on polypharmacy using a systematic review.

Methods
Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and other clinical trials in Medline/PubMed without language limitation (-2017) were searched to identify those with older depressed patients on polypharmacy. Only elderly patients (>65 years as mean) were included. Only approved antidepressants were included.

Results
The systematic search identified 26 different clinical trials, although only one clinical open label trial with sertraline met the final inclusion criteria. This sertraline trial indicated the absence of clinically important drug-drug interactions and confirmed the effectiveness and safety of sertraline in routine clinical practice. Heterogeneity in this trial was high in almost all the categories except attrition and reporting bias.

Conclusions
Sertraline has the highest evidence level in older adults with depression on polypharmacy. According to the results of this review and due to a low number of appropriate trials, a basic understanding of psychopharmacology is the possible approach to avoid serious problematic drug combinations in these patients. Newer RCTs are also urgently needed. This is the first systematic review including patients treated with polypharmacy, and therefore, its results are important in the field of evidence-based medicine.

Hollywood Cadences
Authors: Lehman Frank 
Published: June 2018

Cadences are one of the most powerful tools at a film composer’s disposal. The structure and placement of a cadence can shape the emotional arc of a scene, accentuate narratival information, and manipulate generic expectations. Drawing from theories of film genre and cadential definition from Altman (1999) and Caplin (2002), I explore several cinematically significant “cadential genres”—harmonic routines arising through the convergence of independent musical phenomena that together project a punctuative function. Through processes of attribute substitution and subtraction, a cadential genre can adapt to shifting scoring practices and generic expectations.I showcase four such cadential genres. The mixed plagal cadence imports transcendent harmonic associations from the Romantic era. Phrasal “mickey mousing” arises through cadential synchronization, as shown in an analysis of Korngold’s Robin Hood. The subtonic half cadence is strongly linked with a specific film genre: the Western. Through analysis of Jerome Moross’s subtonic-saturated scores and subsequent adapted and abstracted usages, I show the value of the generic approach to style-based analysis. Lastly, I inspect the chromatically modulating cadential resolution (CMCR): the strategy of initiating a diatonic cadence in one key only for the dominant to discharge onto the tonic of a chromatically related key. Through a variety of intrinsic and contextual traits describable by linear, transformational, and cognitive models, I explain the strong association of CMCRs with cinematic evocations of wonderment. This is illustrated through a case study of Williams’s Jurassic Park.
Crossing Over with Brad Mehldau’s Cover of Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android”
Authors: Rusch René 
Published: June 2018

This paper explores the intertextual relationships between popular music songs and their jazz adaptations, or “covers.” In a jazz adaptation of a pop song, the improvisatory sectionwedged between two more or less complete statements of the pop songforms the crux of the jazz performance. Improvisation affords musicians an opportunity to create something new out of an existing musical work and, as I suggest in this paper, has the potential to transform the expression perceived in the popular song’s lyrics and musical structure. Using Brad Mehldau’s live solo piano performance of Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android” (1997) from his promotional albumDeregulating Jazz([1999] 2000) as a case in point, I show how his adaptation both highlights the motivic repetitions in the original rock song and heightens the song’s expressions of anxiety and apprehension.The article unfolds in two sections. The first section provides an overview of Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android” as a means to ground my discussion of Mehldau's recording. Here I consider how the rock song’s musical content can be heard as the analog of its lyrical content. In the second section, I explore the intertextual relationships that emerge between Mehldau's adaptation and Radiohead's rock song, drawing from my transcriptions and analyses of both musical texts.
Derivation of Operation Rule for Ilisu Dam

Published: June 2018

Tigris River water that comes from Turkey represents the main water resource of this river in Iraq. The expansion in water river implementations has formed a source of trouble for the workers in the water resources management field in Iraqi. Unfortunately, there is no agreement between Iraq and Turkey till now to share the water of this international river. Consequently, the optimal operation of water resources systems, particularly a multi-objective, multi-reservoir, is of the most necessity at the present time.
In this research two approaches, were used the dynamic programming (DP) approach and simulation model to find the optimal monthly operation of Ilisu Dam (from an Iraqi point of view) through a computer program (in Q. Basic language) to find the optimum monthly release and storage by adopting an objective function that minimizes the release and storage losses (penalty). The historical inflow data of 588 months from (Oct. 1961 to Sep. 2009) formed the input data to the optimization models. Storage rule curves for the reservoir at (lower, mean, upper) of (10%, 50%, and 90%), respectively, were found according to the results of the optimized operation. A simulation model was developed to operate the system using these rule curves.
THE EFFECTS OF CABLE CHARACTERISTICS ON MAXIMUM OVERVOLTAGE IN COMBINED OVERHEAD/CABLE LINES PROTECTED BY SURGE ARRESTERS
Authors: Alizadeh Reza , Mirzaie Mohammad 
Published: June 2018

Â This paper presents the calculation of maximum lightning overvoltage for a transmission system consisting of overhead lines in combination with an underground power cable. For this purpose, a 132 kV overhead transmission line combined with an underground cable is considered. This combined line has been protected by surge arresters. EMTP-RV and MATLAB software are used to conduct the modeling, simulation and calculation works. Lightning strikes on the tower top and results in large over-voltages appearing along overhead lines and cable. Underground cable characteristics have significant effects on maximum lightning over-voltages. Therefore, the three characteristics considered for these effects are: (i) cable length; (ii) cable core resistivity, (iii) cable sheath resistivity. Tower footing resistance effect is also included in the computer simulation. ABSTRAK: Kajian ini berkenaan tentang pengiraan takat maksimum voltan kilat berlebihan bagi sistem transmisi melibatkan kabel atas kepala termasuk kabel tenaga bawah tanah. Bagi tujuan ini, talian kabel penghantaran atas kepala 132 kV termasuk kabel bawah tanah telah diambil kira. Kombinasi kabel ini dilindungi dengan penahan lonjakan voltan tenaga. Perisian EMTP-RV dan MATLAB telah digunakan untuk membuat model, simulasi dan kerja-kerja pengiraan. Panahan petir di atas puncak bangunan merupakan penyebab utama voltan berlebihan muncul bersama talian atas kepala dan kabel. Ciri-ciri kabel bawah tanah merupakan faktor penyumbang utama ke atas voltan berlebihan daripada kilat. Oleh itu, tiga kes telah diambil kira sebagai penyumbang voltan berlebihan: (i) panjang kabel; (ii) rintangan teras kabel, (iii) rintangan sarung kabel. Kesan rintangan tapak bangunan turut diambil kira dalam simulasi komputer.
