SummaryBackground:The cell population data (CPD) measured by Sysmex XN-9000 can be used for screening many hematological and non-hematological disorders. Since little information is available on harmonization of CPD among different instrumentation and clinical laboratories, this study aimed at assessing the current degree of CPD harmonization between separate Sysmex XN modules allocated to the same laboratory.Methods:A total number of 78291 data were used for verification of within-run imprecision, analyzers harmonization, reference ranges and assessment of blood sample stability of CPD parameters, including results of daily quality control testing and those generated in samples collected from blood donors and healthy volunteers.Results:Within-run imprecision of CPD parameters ranged between 0.4 and 14.1%. Good agreement was found among five different XN-modules, especially when values were adjusted after calculation of instrument-specific alignment factors. The bias of all parameters remained always lower than the reference change values in samples stored for up to 8 hours, regardless of storage temperature.Conclusions:The imprecision of CPD parameters was acceptable, except for those reflecting the dispersion of cellular clusters. Due to the lack of reference control materials, we showed that the use of data generated on a large number of normal routine samples (i.e., a Moving Average population) may be a reliable approach for testing analyzers harmonization. Nevertheless, availability of both calibration and quality control materials for these parameters is highly advisable in the future. We finally showed that whole blood samples may be stable for up to 2–4 hours for most CPD parameters.

Summary
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the hepatic manifestation of insulin resistance, is the most common cause of chronic liver. The present study aimed to investigate the roles of vaspin and omentin-1 in the NAFLD-related pathology including IR, inflammation and elevated blood pressure.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 83 NAFLD patients in Jahrom, Iran. Plasma levels of omentin-1, vaspin, hs-CRP and IL-6 were measured. Anthropometric indices, lipid profiles, liver enzymes as well as abdominal ultrasonography were assessed.
Results: Partial correlations controlling for age and sex showed significant positive correlation between vaspin and fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin, HOMA-IR, and hs-CRP. It has been observed that omentin negatively correlated with glucose levels. Moreover, a marginally significant association has been found between omentin levels and systolic blood pressure (SBP).
Conclusions: This study shows that vaspin and omentin-1 are associated with inflammation, insulin resistance and serum glucose levels in patients with NAFLD.

SummaryBackground:The aim of the study was to investigate the association of Cystatin C (CysC) to biochemical markers of bone turnover and bone mass, and to evaluate its prognostic significance in elderly males with chronic heart failure (CHF).Methods:A prospective cohort study was executed on sixtyeight males (mean age 68±7 years) with mild to moderate CHF, together with 19 of corresponding age- and body mass index-matched healthy individuals who underwent cardio vascular, bone mineral density (BMD), and body com position assessment. Biochemical assessment of all subjects included NT-pro-BNP, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D), CysC, and biochemical markers of bone turnover including osteocalcin (OC), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), β-CrossLaps (β-CTx), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL).Results:Serum CysC was significantly increased in males with CHF in comparison to healthy control ones. A significant positive association was found between CysC levels and OC in males with CHF, while OC and β-CTx increased in increasing CysC tertiles. In multivariate regression analysis, OC and smoking were a significant determinant of CysC in males with CHF. Level of CysC was found to be positively associated with an increased fatal risk in males with CHF.Conclusions:Serum osteocalcin is an independent predictor of CysC level in elderly males with CHF. Higher CysC level showed a negative relation to survival and bone loss in males with CHF. Further research is needed to confirm the potential role of CysC in the crosstalk between heart, kidney, bone, and energy metabolism in CHF.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
Five juveniles of the imperial eagle were tracked during 2011-201 2. Movements were monitored in the western part of Slovakia and in the border area between Austria, Hungary and Slovakia. Three eagles came from the Záhorská nížina Lowlands and the others from the Malé Karpaty Mts and the Podunajská nížina Lowlands. Post-fledging movements were recorded in areas around the nests. Post-fledging areas covered a large territory (minimum convex polygons - 89, 941 , 969 km2). During the postfledging period the eagles carried out exploratory flights (1 2-33 km from the nest). One temporary settlement area (TSA) was identified in the border area between Austria, Hungary and Slovakia (minimum convex polygon - 68 km2). Two eagles with radio transmitters were recorded in this area. In the TSA and the post-fledging areas two habitat categories were dominant: arable land and forests. Heterogeneous agricultural areas were also important in the TSA (8%).

Abstract
A long-living species like A. heliaca has a natal dispersal period lasting several years. This period is crucial for the survival and conservation of the eagles. In this study we present mortality factors and the survival rate of juvenile and immature A. heliaca from Bulgaria as established by satellite telemetry. A total of 20 juvenile A. heliaca were fitted with GPS/Argos transmitters in their nests in Bulgaria. Fourteen birds were tracked till their death and the bodies were found. Tracking allows the survival rate of juvenile and immature A. heliaca to be estimated for the first time. It is 59.1% for the first calendar year, 83.3% for the second calendar year and 80.0% for the third calendar year. The main mortality factor for juvenile and immature A. heliaca from the Bulgarian population is electrocution, which caused 59.0% of the mortality cases. Other threats identified are shooting, poisoning and collisions. Most of the fatalities of these tracked eagles occurred in Bulgaria (50%) and Turkey (43%). Thus, Turkey is a key country for conservation of the Bulgarian population ofA. heliaca during its dispersal period. Eagles from Bulgaria have been recorded dispersing further south, to Sudan and Saudi Arabia. Conservation efforts are needed both inside and outside Bulgaria in order to reduce mortality. International collaboration and the exchange of experiences should be part of any conservation strategy or plans focused on the eastern imperial eagle.

A tuberculose (TB) foi isolada pela primeira vez em 1882, por Robert Koch (1843-1910), que identificou o <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>(Mtb) como o agente etiológico desta patologia. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi relatar os principais aspectos microbiológicos, bem como imunológicos, envolvidos na infecção pelo Mtb. A revisão foi realizada com base em trabalhos científicos e livros que abordassem o tema em questão. A pesquisa foi feita utilizando as bases de dados: Google Acadêmico, SciELO e LILACS. As palavras chaves utilizadas foram: “Tuberculose”, “<em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>” e “Imunologia da tuberculose”. O critério de inclusão utilizado foi: trabalhos que abordassem aspectos gerais referentes à microbiologia e imunologia do Mtb<em>, </em>ou pertinentes ao assunto. Como critérios de exclusão, os trabalhos que não apresentassem resumos na íntegra nas bases de dados pesquisadas não foram contemplados nesta revisão. Nesta pesquisa foi possível perceber que, por ser um patógeno intrace­lular aeróbico, o bacilo da tuberculose é capaz de sobreviver, crescer e de se multiplicar no interior de células fagocitárias. A maioria das pessoas infectadas não desenvolve imediatamente a doença. Entretanto, a infecção pode persistir por anos e o indivíduo pode acabar desenvolvendo-a, permanecendo sob um estado de latência. A realização desta revisão bibliográfica é de extrema importância no auxilio às futuras pesquisas com o Mtb<em>. </em>Dessa forma, faz-se necessário a realização de mais estudos científicos, na busca por novos tratamentos que minimizem os efeitos da doença no organismo dos portadores, além de estimular medidas que reduzam a taxa de abandono do tratamento.

Given the crucial role of knowledge creation in contemporary business enterprises, a fundamental question arises: what processes are facilitating knowledge creation? This study aims to find the answer.This study investigates the interrelations among four categories of knowledge assets (experiential, conceptual, systemic, and routine) and four categories of SECI model for knowledge creation processes (socialization, externalization, combination , and internalization). In our framework, we argue that different types of knowledge assets may have differing influences on knowledge creation. In order to test the feasibility of this framework, we conducted an empirical research exercise. Data were collected from three dairy cooperations in Java, Indonesia through a survey instrument. A total of 105 usable responses were analysed. We employed regression analysis, ANOVA and canonical correlation analysis to examine the separate correlations. We identified four responses interrelationhips from this study. Compared to other knowledge assets, conceptual knowledge assets have a greater effect on socialization of knowledge creation process. Experiential knowledge assets have a greater effect on combination. Routine knowledge assets have a greater effect on externalization of knowledge creation process. Systemic knowledge assets have a greater effect on internalization of knowledge creation process.

Economic growth is a measure of the national development of the world where banks play an important role in the stability of economic growth. The main function of banks is as a collector and distributor of public funds that aims to increase the standard of living people. Successfully collected funds will be channeled back in the form of credit. Currently, the bank main income is derived from distribution of credit. However, credit is also one of the factors that caused banking collapse when credit problems happened. So, management of funds of third parties becomes an important thing that it is a credit risk from funds distribution. This study aims to (1) Analyze the composition of third party funds (savings, giro, deposito), and (2) Analyze the development of DPK, NPL, and profit. Research conducted in the PT Bank X Tbk. From the research, it was found that the composition of the funds of third parties on PT Bank X is dominated by deposito that has the largest contribution to the total of DPK (56,50%), while savings and giro has contributed almost the same, namely that each of 21,90% and 21,61%. There are fluctuations of DPK, NPL, and profit PT Bank X during the period 1999-2007. DPK PT Bank X was happening in the year 2007 amounting to Rp 247.355.023 (in million) with growth of 20,25% and the lowest occurred in 1999, amounting to Rp 148.005.573 (in millions). The lowest NPL happenned in the year 2004 amounting to 7,10% and the highest occurred in 1999, amounting to 70,84%. PT Bank X has a relatively large loss in 1999, namely Rp 68.155.446 (in millions) and then experienced a rapid development of year 2000 with profit growth of 103%. However, in 2005 had experienced a decline of 84% but it could have been increased again in the years 2006 to 2007 those were 130% and 124% respectively.
