Authors: Abdulazeez Ali , Mohammed Bassam , Nasir Bilal , Yasen Mohammed 
Published: October 2018

Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is one of the most used controllers in the local generations, primarily it aimed to suppress local mode of oscillations. On the other hand, the Unified Power Flow Controllers (UPFC) the most versatile member of flexible alternating current transmission system devices to simultaneously control real and reactive power flows on transmission lines, as well as regulate selected bus voltage. Each of these controllers, on their own, can show satisfactory performance to enhance power system stability. However, when they utilized together, their dynamic performance can degrade due to controller interaction, that should be strategically optimized. In this paper, the coordinated design of pss's and upfc is realized to damp inter-area oscillations in two-area power system using particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. The simulated cases in Matlab environment show that the interaction of pss's and upfc can be optimized, so the inter-area oscillations can be effectively mitigated following after fault, the simulation results of the uncoordinated design are also presented.

Published: October 2018

The AC electrical distribution systems operate at definite and limited levels of voltages and frequencies. Non-linear loads produce non-sinusoidal currents and voltages in the distribution systems. The controlled and uncontrolled single and three phase rectifiers have been utilized in many applications and different industrial fields. The purpose of these applications is to obtain controlled, systematic and smooth DC currents and voltages. These rectifiers generate harmonics in the supply current that negatively affects at the power quality and efficiency of the system. For this reason, reducing harmonics in the current waveform was under investigation by many research groups. Several methods are suggested for minimizing such harmonics, one of that is the harmonic current injection method, which is considered in this paper. In this paper two injection networks are applied at single phase bridge controlled and uncontrolled rectifier which loaded with DC motor. The first suggested injection network involves back to back thyristor in series with RLC circuit in order to adjust the value and phase of the second harmonic injection current. The second suggested injection network includes a new method to get advantages of using the injection power for supplying a field of DC shunt motor. The obtained results show that the total harmonic distortion is reduced by 79.26% with power factor closed to unity.

Infection of Soil Transmitted Helminthes (STH) is caused by intestinal nematodes where as in its life cycle, soil is needed as the media for the eggs or larvae to mature into effective forms, most commonly happen to children of school age. This infection is still one of the main problems in public health, including Indonesia. STH infection are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. Lack of personal hygiene, poor environmental sanitation and low socioeconomic status are some factors that plays role in increasing the occurrence of the infection. This infection is also one of the causes responsible for malnutrition in children by decreasing appetite and food intake thus ensued adverse consequences such as declining growth pace, impairment of physical health, and weakening cognitive function. This study was conducted to analyze the association of STH infection with nutritional status of SDN 200 students in Kertapati District, Palembang. This study was an analytic observational research with a cross sectional research design. Samples consist of 107 students chosen using proportional stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected by direct interview using questionnaires, measuring body weight and height to obtain nutritional status which then classified using CDC 2000 growth curve while fecal contamination was examined using Kato Katz and modified Harada Mori methode in the Laboratory of Parasitology Medical Faculty of Universitas Sriwijaya. Data then analyzed using Chi-square test. From 107 students, 27.1% infection of STH was found on 29 students with 6 students (20.7%) infected by A. lumbricoides and 23 students (79.3%) infected by T. trichiura. Proportion of malnutrition status was found at 43.9%. Statistical test showed a significant association between STH infection and nutritional status (p=0.036; OR=3.167; Cl 95%: 1.163-15.237).

Abstract
Background: Malaria infections cause various symptoms ranging from asymptomatic infections to severe disease complications. Plasmodium vivax malaria has been recognized as a disease that attacks blood cells, causing various hematologic changes, especially anemia, leukopenia, leukocytosis, neutropenia, neutrophilia, and thrombocytopenia with different percentages. Plasmodium vivax, formerly known to cause mild malaria, was later proven to cause severe malaria, even cerebral malaria such as Plasmodium falciparum. This study aims to determine the hematologic profile in patients with Plasmodium vivax malaria.
Method: This research use descriptive cross sectional design. This research was conducted in Puskesmas (PKM; Primary Health Care) Sukamaju and Puskesmas (PKM; Primary Health Care) Karang City in August until December 2017. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling. A total of 37 samples expressed positive Plasmodium vivax, examined their hematologic profiles specifically hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leucocytes, platelets, lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes and hematocrit using automatic hematology cell counter.
Results: Based on the results of this study, 56.76% of patients had anemia, 45.90% of patients had leukopenia, 89.20% thrombocytopenia, 2.70% neutrophilia, 10.80% neutropenia, 2.70% lymphocytosis, 35.10% lymphopenia, and 13.50% pancytopenia.
Conclusion: In patients with Plasmodium vivax malaria infection there may be a change in hematologic profiles, this change may be affected by the acute phase of infection and host immune system.

Background We report outcomes on ≥ 4 compared with < 4 exchanges/day in a Chinese cohort on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Methods Data were sourced from the Baxter (China) Investment Co. Ltd Patient Support Program database, comprising an inception cohort commencing CAPD between 1 January 2005 and 13 August 2015. We used cause-specific Cox proportional hazards and Fine-Gray competing risks (kidney transplantation, change to hemodialysis) models to estimate mortality risk on ≥ 4 compared with < 4 exchanges/day. We matched or adjusted for age, gender, employment, insurance, primary renal disease, size of CAPD program, year of dialysis inception, and treatment center. Results We modeled 100,022 subjects from 1,177 centers over 239,876 patient-years. Of these subjects, 43,185 received < 4 exchanges/day and 56,837 ≥ 4 exchanges/day. The proportion of patients on < 4 exchanges/day varied widely between centers. Those on < 4 exchanges/day were significantly older, more often female, of unknown employment, and from rural China. In the various models, ≥ 4 exchanges/day was associated with a significantly lower risk of death by 30% – 35% compared with < 4 exchanges/day. This beneficial effect was greatest in younger and rural patients. Conclusions In this Chinese CAPD cohort, ≥ 4 exchanges/day was associated with significantly lower mortality risk than < 4 exchanges/day. Analyses are limited by residual confounding from unavailability of important prognostic covariates (e.g., comorbidity, socioeconomic factors) and data on residual renal function, peritoneal clearance, and transport status with which to judge the clinical appropriateness of CAPD prescription. Nonetheless, our study indicates this area as a high priority for further detailed study.

Published: October 2018

Background The aim of this study was to determine if there were centers in China with unusually high levels of risk-adjusted mortality in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Methods We analyzed an inception cohort commencing CAPD between 1 January 2005 and 13 August 2015, followed until death, dropout defined as discontinuation of Baxter products, loss to follow-up, or 13 November 2015, whichever occurred first. We calculated standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) from Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for age, gender, employment status, insurance status, primary renal disease, size of peritoneal dialysis (PD) program, and year of dialysis inception. We calculated 2 SMRs, 1 from models including a fixed effect for center of treatment, and 1 from stratified models. Results In this study, there was a 9.9% annual mortality rate in China, with decreasing mortality risk over time. There was significant variation of outcomes between Chinese centers, with up to 20% of facilities having SMRs indicating a higher risk-adjusted mortality rate than average. In particular, larger centers had better than expected mortality than smaller ones. There was significant misclassification of SMRs calculated using stratification versus fixed-effects models, although both showed directionally similar results. Conclusion Despite overall satisfactory and improving outcomes, our study showed a significant proportion of PD centers with higher than expected mortality. This is a signal for further assessment of these centers in China, after which there might be a range of actions taken depending on the results of the assessment and context, bearing in mind that the variation seen may be driven by factors unrelated to quality of care or beyond the control of hospital.

INTRODUCTION: During the 20th century, psychiatry began to use the cinema as didactic-pedagogical help resource in the study of psychopathology. The Films of Alfred Hitchcock usually present as main themes mental disorders and the psychoanalysis. However, these films were not created with academic goal and it is natural that there are distortions.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the importance of Hitchcock films as didactic resource in the study of psychopathology, identify possible distortions and seek to justify them on the basis of the historical context.
METHODOLOGY: The abstracts of the 53 feature-length films of the director were read and deleted the movies that did not have the mental disorder as a central theme; they were dumb; or those who had only the antisocial personality disorder. It was performed a narrative review.
RESULTS: Six films were selected through an intentional sampling. When he speaks of the Heart (1945) shows a picture of amnesia with dissociative fugue. The psychoanalysis is represented in a very superficial. The Indiscreet (1954) describes a voyeuristic disorder and should not be indicated. The Wrong Man (1956) depicts a severe depressive episode with psychotic symptoms. A body that falls (1958) presents the themes of specific phobia of height and the acute stress disorder. Psychosis (1960) represents a framework of dissociative identity disorder, but the scenes of violence may cause a negative view of the mentally ill. Marnie (1964) has as themes the specific phobia and sexual aversion disorder. The psychoanalysis is presented in distorted form and caricature.
CONCLUSION: The films directed by Alfred Hitchcock can be useful in the study of psychiatry and should be considered the distortions that can worsen the stigma.
L’islamisme algérien et le sport : entre rhétorique et action
Authors: Fates Youcef 
Published: October 2018

Comme le dit Norbert Elias, la connaissance du sport est la clé de la connaissance de nos sociétés. Porteur de multiples enjeux, il cristallise un certain nombre de problèmes primordiaux de société qui n’ont pas échappé aux islamistes algériens post-indépendance, épigones des oulémas et successeurs de moindre niveau. Le sport s’avère être aussi un terrain de lutte pour une société islamique. Il est à la fois terrain d’interdits religieux et champ d’embrigadement et de socialisation des jeunes. Comment les questions que soulève cette activité ludique corporelle, futile, proche du laeb , du jeu, non sérieuse, vont-elles être abordées par l’islamisme algérien ? Sur le plan dogmatique, le Coran considère le jeu (ou amusement) « comme une expression particulièrement insidieuse de l’indifférence humaine à l’égard du véritable devoir de l’homme en ce monde qui est d’agir en vue de son salut dans l’autre monde » . Et l’on n’hésite pas à dire que le dédain du jeu manifesté dans l’enfance est le signe prémonitoire, annonciateur d’une grandeur future.
IL-6 Promotes T Cell Proliferation and Expansion under Inflammatory Conditions in Association with Low-Level RORγt Expression
Authors: Li Bofeng , Jones Lindsay L. , Geiger Terrence L. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
IL-6 is a critical driver of acute and chronic inflammation and has been reported to act as a T cell survival factor. The influence of IL-6 on T cell homeostasis is not well resolved. We demonstrate that IL-6 signaling drives T cell expansion under inflammatory conditions but not during normal homeostasis. During inflammation, IL-6Rα–deficient T cells are unable to effectively compete with wild type T cells. IL-6 promotes T cell proliferation, and this is associated with low-level expression of the RORγt transcription factor. T cells upregulate Rorc mRNA at levels substantially diminished from that seen in Th17 cells. Blockade of RORγt through genetic knockout or a small molecule inhibitor leads to T cell expansion defects comparable to those in IL-6Rα–deficient T cells. Our results indicate that IL-6 plays a key role in T cell expansion during inflammation and implicates a role for the transient induction of low-level RORγt.

Avtor predstavi raziskavo, ki jo je opra1vil v skupini za usposabljanje za starševstvo »Najina pot«. Avtorja je zanimalo, ali obstaja povezava med kvaliteto zakona in odločanjem za starševstvo ter kako se ujemanje v zakonu spreminja s prihodom novih otrok. Na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov sklepa, da v omenjeni skupini parov obstaja ta povezava, vendar je z večanjem števila otrok vedno šibkejša. Avtor razlaga, da obstajajo razlike med pari, ki uspejo integrirati starševstvo v svoj partnerski odnos in jih prihod otroka posebej ne ogrozi, ter drugimi, ki ta izziv težje sprejmejo, saj v temelju zamaje njihov partnerski odnos
