MICROLENS FOCAL LENGTH CONTROLING FOR OPTICAL TWEEZER ARRAYS BY ACOUSTO-OPTIC MODULATION IN GERMANIUM
Authors: Ho Quang Quy , Nguyen Van Thinh , Mai Van Luu 
Published: November 2018

The microlens arrays created by ultrasonic waves in acousto-optical material Germanium (Ge) is theoretically proposed. The simulated results show the proposed microlens arrays can be used for optical tweezers arrays to trap an assembly micro-beads. Moreover, with the control by changing of the ultrasonic intensity and frequency, the optical tweezers arrays will act as the dynamical one, which can sieve the beads in (X,Y) plane in the embedding fluid. The focal length of microlens in GermaniumÂ controling by frequency and intensity of ultrasonic wave is discussed. Â Â Â Â Â Â

Published: November 2018

In order to master and improve the quality and properties of the final products, the major industrial challenge lies in the possibility of controlling the morphology, size of microstructures that reside within the molded pieces, as well as their defects; this is the fundamental reason according to which we are more and more interested in mastering the growth and germination of such alloys, as well as the developing structures, at the time of solidification process. The modeling reveals as a valuable aid in the mastery of the formation of such heterogeneousness: segregation cells that are incompatible with industrial requirements. The whole work focuses upon the modeling of the segregation phenomenon of the four hypoeutectic alloys, Al1%Sn, Al2%Sn, Al3%Sn and Al4%Sn, as well as the tin effect upon certain mechanical properties of aluminum. Usually, the microstructure and mechanical Â behavior of such alloys as Al-Sn are directly influenced by some parameters such as composition, cooling velocity and homogenization process.
Chemical synthesis and study of structural and optoelectronic properties of CdS thin films: Effect of SILAR growth cycles
Authors: Gosavi S. R. , Chaudhari K. B. 
Published: November 2018

CdS thin films were deposited on glass substrates by using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method at room temperature. The effect of SILAR growth cycles on structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties of the films has been studied.Â The thickness of the deposited film is measured by employing weight difference method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) studies showed that all the films exhibit polycrystalline nature and are covered well with glass substrates. The values of average crystallite size were found to be 53 nm, 58 nm, 63 nm and 71 nm corresponding to the thin films deposited with 30, 40, 50 and 60 SILAR growth cycles respectively. From the UVâ€“VIS spectra of the deposited thin films, it was seen that both the absorption properties and energy bandgap of the films changes with increasing number of SILAR growth cycles. A decrease of electrical resistivity has been observed with increasing SILAR growth cycle.Â

Published: November 2018

Aim
To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a low-complexity, low-cost model of caregiver education in primary care, targeted to reduce hospitalizations of heart failure patients.

Methods
A cluster-randomized, controlled, open trial was proposed to general practitioners, who were invited to identify patients with heart failure, exclusively managed at home and continuously attended by a caregiver. Participating general practitioners were then randomized to: usual treatment; caregiver education (educational session for recognizing early symptoms/signs of heart failure, with recording in a diary of a series of patient parameters, including body weight, blood pressure, heart rate). The patients were observed at baseline and during a 12-month follow-up.

Results
Three hundred and thirteen patients were enrolled (163 in the intervention, 150 in the usual care group), 63% women, mean age 85.3 ± 7.7 years. At the end of the 12-month follow-up, a trend towards a lower incidence of hospitalizations was observed in the intervention group (hazard ratio 0.73; 95% CI 0.53–1.01 P = 0.061). Subgroup analysis showed that for patients with persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation, age less than 90 years or Barthel score equal to or greater than 50 a significant lower hospital admission rate occurred in the intervention group (hazard ratio 0.63; 95% CI 0.39–0.99; P = 0.048, hazard ratio 0.66; 95% CI 0.45–0.97; P = 0.036 and hazard ratio 0.61; 95% CI 0.41–0.89; P = 0.011, respectively).

Conclusion
Caregivers training for early recognition of symptoms/signs of worsening heart failure may be effective in reducing hospitalizations, although the benefit was evident only in specific patient subgroups (with persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation, age <90 years or Barthel score ≥ 50), with only a positive trend in the whole cohort.

Safety and efficacy of a cardiologist-only approach to deep sedation for electrical cardioversion
Authors: Morani Giovanni , Borio Gianluca , Bolzan Bruna , Ribichini Flavio L. 
Published: November 2018

Aims
Electrical cardioversion is still the preferred method to restore sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation. The main disadvantage is that electrical cardioversion requires deep sedation, generally administered by anaesthesiologists, for safety concern. An exclusively cardiologic management of deep sedation should have the advantage to reduce resources and time consumed.

Methods
All consecutive patients admitted to our division with persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter to undergo elective electrical cardioversion from June 2002 to December 2016 were included. The sedation protocol was managed only by cardiologists and involved the administration of a 5-mg bolus of midazolam, followed by increasing doses of propofol to achieve the desired sedation level. Exclusion criteria were strictly observed. Complications were recorded. A retrospective analysis on a deidentified database has been performed.

Results
A total of 1188 electrical cardioversions were scheduled in our centre. A total of 1195 patients were scheduled in our centre, of whom 1188 met inclusion criteria. Electrical cardioversion was performed in 1073 cases (90.3%). Electrical cardioversion was successful in restoring sinus rhythm in 1030 (96.0%) patients. Immediate recurrence of atrial fibrillation occurred in 89 patients (8.3%). 99/1073 (9.22%) patients underwent trans-oesophagel echocardiography before cardioversion. Deep sedation, according to our protocol, was effective in 100% of cases. Midazolam was administered at a dosage of 5 mg to all patients, while propofol was administered at a dosage ranging from 20 to 80 mg (25.1 ± 11.0 mg SD). No anaesthesia-related complications were observed, neither significant respiratory depression requiring intubation nor anaesthesiologist support.

Conclusion
The exclusively cardiological procedure of deep sedation seems to be safe and effective.

Published: November 2018

Abstract
Introduction. The analysis of players’ performance with respect to technical-tactical actions is becoming a key factor influencing the focus of training programmes and the contents of training units. It also provides important information which can be used to improve players’ efficiency during the game. The aim of the current study was to analyse the efficiency of technicaltactical offensive actions in positional attack as well as defensive actions performed by handball players participating in two consecutive World Men’s Handball Championships, held in Spain in 2013 and in Qatar in 2015. Material and methods. The material subjected to analysis was data describing the technical-tactical actions performed during the World Championships in Spain in 2013 and in Qatar in 2015. We analysed offensive and defensive actions, including with regard to the continent the teams represented. We performed an analysis of the documents available on the IHF website. The significance of the differences found was verified using analysis of variance (ANOVA and MANOVA). Results. The study found a significantly lower number of offensive actions in positional attack (−7.5%) and turnovers (−26.4%), higher overall efficiency (+7.2%), as well as higher efficiency of 6-m shots (+9.5%), wing shots (+7.3%), and breakthrough shots (+11.4%) at the World Championship in Qatar compared to tournament in Spain. When it comes to defensive actions, there was a significantly higher number of 2-minute suspensions (+27.5%), with a simultaneous significant reduction in the number of steals (−55.7%) and shots defended (−13.3%). Conclusions. During a two-year cycle, there was a change in the concept of playing in positional attack. In 2015, there was a significantly greater number of actions leading to a shot in the region of the opponent’s goal area as well as a higher level of activity and more aggressive play on the part of defensive players. In addition, European teams had gained an advantage over teams from other continents in terms of the efficiency of the technical-tactical actions undertaken.

Abstract
Introduction. Cross triathlon is a sport consisting of three segments: swimming, off-road cycling, and running. Our study analyses the differences in performance between genders and changes in performance in selected age categories at the ITU Cross World Championships held between 2011 and 2016. Material and methods. During this period, a total of 1,933 triathletes were analysed (1,472 men and 461 women). Two-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) were used to examine the impact of sex differences and age-related changes on performance (time, percentage of time, and performance ratio) in swimming, cycling, running, and total race. Results. The age groups with the highest level of participation were persons aged 40-44 and 45-49 years among men and women, respectively. With regards to performance in the different age groups, in men and women, its high level was maintained between 25 and 49 years, and it decreased significantly from the age of 50-54. In men, the best results in cycling and total race time were obtained in the 30-34 age group and in swimming and running in the 40-44 group. Women obtained the best results in running in the 25-29 age group, in cycling in the 30-34 group, and in swimming and total race time in the 35-39 group. Conclusions. The results of the study have confirmed that there is a demand for sports in 40+ age groups. As for performance in the different age groups, it was on a high level between 25 and 49 years and decreased significantly from the age of 50-54 onwards. According to these results, the sports training of these triathletes should be oriented so that they obtain their best results between 30 and 35 years of age.

Authors: Wilczyński Jacek 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Introduction. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the body composition and postural stability of goalkeepers representing the Polish National Junior Handball Team. Material and methods. Body composition was assessed by means of bioelectrical impedance analysis. Postural stability was examined using the AccuGait AMTI force platform. Results. The body composition of the subjects was correct. All of the subjects had very good postural stability. Postural sway was higher in the sagittal plane than in the frontal one. Path Length and Average COP Speed were significantly increased during the closedeyes trial. Only Fat Mass (%) and Fat Mass (kg) were significantly directly correlated with Area Ellipse (cm2) (OE, open eyes). Inverse correlations occurred between Fat-Free Mass (kg) and Average Load Point Y (cm) (OE) as well as Average Load Point Y (cm) (CE, closed eyes). Muscle Mass (kg) was significantly inversely correlated with Average Load Point Y (cm) (OE) and also with Average Load Point Y (cm) (CE). Body Mass Index correlated negatively only with Average Load Point Y (cm) (CE). Total Body Water (kg) was significantly inversely correlated with Average Load Point Y (cm) (OE) and also with Average Load Point Y (cm) (CE). However, Total Body Water (%) only correlated negatively with Area Ellipse (cm2) (OE). Conclusions. Postural stability was determined by the composition and structure of the body. Single-sided sports specialisation can lead to static disorders of the body during the developmental period discussed. Therefore, systematic tests are needed to monitor the body composition and postural stability of handball goalkeepers.

Published: November 2018

Abstract
Introduction. Nutritional habits as well as views on food and nutrition are determined by a number of factors regarding an individual, social group, or population. The aim of the study was to determine differences in nutritional habits and knowledge about food and nutrition in physical education (PE) students depending on their level of higher education and physical activity. Material and methods. The study included 207 first-year and last-year students of physical education from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Biala Podlaska. The eating habits of the study participants and their knowledge about food and nutrition were evaluated using a questionnaire developed by Gawęcki, while physical activity was assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ - short version). Statistical significance of differences between groups distinguished on the basis of the students’ level of higher education and physical activity was analysed with Student’s t-test or the χ2 test. Results and conclusions. Regardless of the level of higher education and physical activity, the students examined most often demonstrated low intensity of nutritional behaviours that were either beneficial or detrimental to health, which means that they did not choose products with a potentially beneficial influence on their health very often, but, at the same time, they limited their consumption of unhealthy products. However, the comparison of students in terms of their level of education revealed that last-year students consumed poultry, fruit, and vegetables more often, whereas first-year students consumed white bread, butter, cold meat, cheese, and sweets more frequently. Women with a high level of physical activity consumed healthy foods more often, while men exhibited such a tendency in the case of dairy products only. Most students demonstrated sufficient knowledge about food and nutrition, and it was noted that their university studies increased their level of knowledge in this area.
Youth Physical Activity as an Out-of-Class Occupation
Authors: Smuka Ingrida 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Introduction. Every year, the lack of physical activity causes the death of 600,000 people in Europe; lack of exercise also leads to overweight and obesity in more than one million people [1]. The study of the Latvian Public Health Agency (PHA) concerning students’ health habits shows that the proportion of students whose general physical activity level could be considered as sufficient is only 46.3% [2]. In several countries, different programmes are designed to facilitate school students’ physical activity, and beneficial out-of-class occupation is emphasised, recommending physical activities on the way to school and coming back home. Material and methods. Sixty-five students (grade 10 of secondary school located in a town) aged 15 to 18 participated in the survey. Results. Only 5% of the students questioned used a bicycle as a means of going to and from school during the previous four months. In the inquiry, students mentioned that if they were given the possibility to choose the mode of travel between school and home, then 36% would choose a bicycle, 13% would go on foot, and 48% would go by car. Conclusions. In Latvia, riding a bike has a seasonal character, and during the school year, it is possible to cycle from home to school in spring and autumn. Having analysed the students’ answers, we concluded that most often, the students from the region in question preferred to ride a bike in spring. There was a large difference between the number of students who would like to use a bicycle and the number of students who actually used it.
O PSEUDO EMPODERAMENTO FEMININO NO CULTO DAS PRINCESAS DA PASTORA SARAH SHEEVA
Authors: Costa Baptista Mariani Ceci Maria , De Souza Sales Capra Miriã Joyce 
Published: November 2018

O propósito deste artigo é refletir sobre o empoderamento feminino no Culto das Princesas da pastora Sarah Sheeva. Percebemos haver uma tentativa da pastora Sarah Sheeva em promover a submissão feminina através de subsídio de passagens bíblicas, vídeos em seu canal do youtube e cultos presenciais, perpetuando a estrutura tradicional dos papéis de gênero, na medida em que apresenta um discurso restritivo destacando que somente as fieis que seguirem seus aconselhamentos poderão ser princesas de Deus. Aconselha através de seus vídeos a mulheres deixarem de ser “cachorras” para encontrarem o príncipe encantado, como única forma de felicidade e realização feminina. Consideramos que a definição de empoderamento ateste a luta feminina por igualdade de direitos e não uma deslegitimação de suas conquistas na sociedade atual. Para tanto, temos como base teórica a análise de Zygmunt Bauman referente à modernidade líquida e os estudos das relações de gênero e religião sob o aporte de Sandra Duarte de Souza.Enviado: 15-12-2017 - Aprovado e publicado: 11-2018
QUESTÕES SOBRE LIBERDADE RELIGIOSA A PARTIR DA DECLARAÇÃO CONCILIAR DIGNITATIS HUMANAE
Authors: Lopes Gonçalves Paulo Sérgio , Boratti Favretto Alexandre 
Published: November 2018

Ao estabelecer o tema da liberdade religiosa, o Concílio Vaticano II possibilita o erigir de uma nova e positiva consciência do fenômeno do pluralismo religioso como questão teológica. A permanência da religião na contemporaneidade, nos moldes do pluralismo religioso, faz com que seja imprescindível promover o diálogo entre as distintas tradições religiosas e entre as religiões e a realidade secular. Deste modo, objetiva-se apresentar panoramicamente o histórico da teologia das religiões e a elaboração de uma teologia do pluralismo religioso que se configure como teologia hermenêutica inter-religiosa. Estabelece-se que a resposta política adequada ao fenômeno do pluralismo religioso é o direito à liberdade de consciência e religião tutelada pelo Estado liberal. A neutralidade do Estado democrático e laico é promotor de uma “correlação polifônica”, que envolve as tradições religiosas e a razão secular, possibilitando a perspectiva de mútua reordenação destas forças, contribuindo para a constituição do Estado democrático ao considerar o valor da colaboração das diversas tradições religiosas no debate público. Para tanto, tomou-se a obra Dialética da secularização, que coloca em diálogo J. Habermas e J. Ratzinger, para explorar o princípio de neutralidade do Estado laico e a tutela do diálogo entre as distintas tradições religiosas entre si e com o âmbito secular, e a obra de C. Geffré, De Babel a Pentecostes, para o desenvolvimento de uma nova teologia do pluralismo religioso. Deste modo, o texto contribui para a consciência da inserção da linguagem religiosa no debate público e a complementaridade entre religião e racionalidade secular.Enviado: 29-12-2017 - Aprovado e publicado: 11-2018
BEYİNDE AK MADDEDE T2 HİPERİNTENSİTELERİ OLAN ASEMPTOMATİK HASTALARDA TEMPORAL HORN ÇAPININ NORMAL HASTALARLA KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI
Authors: TOKGÖZ ÖZAL Safiye , AKSOY Sema 
Published: November 2018

Amaç:

Asemptomatik genç hastalarda periventriküler,
subkortikal ak maddede T2 hiperintensiteleri varlığında demansa erken bir gidiş
olabilir mi diye araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla özellikle Alzheimer hastalığında lateral ventriküllerin temporal hornları
genişlediği için temporal hornların çapını ölçmeyi planladık.

Materyal
metod:

Yaşları 30-49 arasında değişen 45 hasta inceledik. Bilinen
bir hastalığı olmayan ve herhangi bir sebeple kranial manyetik rezonans (MR)
çektirmiş hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalarda T2 ve FLAIR (sıvı
zayıflatılmış inversiyon kurtarma ağırlıklı) sekansında beyaz cevherde
hiperintensite olup olmadığına bakıldı. T2 hiperintensitesi saptanan hastalarda
her iki temporal horn genişliği ölçüldü ve toplanarak temporal hornların
ortalaması alındı.

Bulgular:

Hastaların 32’si kadın, 13 tanesi erkekti. Kırk beş hastanın
23 tanesinde beyaz cevherde T2 ve FLAIR sekanslarda hiperintens lezyonlar
bulunmaktaydı. Kalan 22 hastanın ise beyaz cevherinde patolojik bir sinyal
yoktu. T2 hiperintensitesi saptanan hastalarda temporal horn genişliği 2.6 mm,
kontrol grubunda ise 2.16 mm olarak saptandı. Her iki grupta temporal horn
genişliği normal sınırlar içinde olmasına rağmen T2 hiperintensitesi olan
hastalarda daha yüksek olarak bulunmuştur.

Sonuç:

Beyaz cevher hiperintensiteleri ile stroke, demans ve
mortalite arasında kuvvetli ilişki olduğunu gösteren birçok yayın mevcuttur. Yaptığımız
çalışmamızda genç yaş grubunda T2-FLAIR hiperintens beyaz cevher lezyonlarına
sahip hastalarda temporal horn çapını normal gruba göre artmış bulduk, çapın yüksek
çıkması demans ve atrofiye gidişte erken bulgu açısından anlamlı olabilir.
Artan Tehlike, Medyada Yansıyan Kadın Cinayetleri
Authors: KAFADAR Hüseyin 
Published: November 2018

Amaç: İnsan
Hakları Evrensel Sözleşmesine göre insan onuruyla bağdaşmayan her türlü eylem
şiddet olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada medyaya yansıyan kadın
cinayetlerini incelemeyi amaçladık. Materiyal ve Metot: Bu çalışma
01-14.Ağustos.2018 tarihleri arasında internet arama motoru “google” üzerinden
genelden özele doğru anahtar kelimeler girerek arama yapıldı. Sırayla “şiddet”,
“kadına yönelik şiddet”, “kadın cinayetleri”,
“medyaya yansıyan kadın cinayetleri” anahtar kelimeleri arandı.Bulgular: “Şiddet” kelimesi yazıldığında yaklaşık
49.500.000 sonuç, ”kadına
yönelik şiddet” yazıldığında yaklaşık 33.100.000 sonuç
bulundu. “Kadın cinayetleri”
kelimesi yazıldığında yaklaşık 20.900.000 sonuç bulundu. “Medyaya
yansıyan kadın cinayetleri”
kelimesine karşılık yaklaşık 869.000 sonuç
bulundu

Sonuç: Toplumların
yapısal özelliklerine göre şiddet algısı da farklılık gösterebilir. Ancak
temelde şiddet “kişinin beden veya ruh bakımından acı-ıstırap çekmesine neden
olan sözel, fiziksel, duygusal, ekonomik ve cinsel eylemlerdir”. Son yıllarda kadına yönelik şiddet dikkat çekici bir şekilde artış göstermektedir.
Şiddetin en ağır şekli olan kadın cinayetlerinin artması sonucu toplum
açısından çok yönlü tehdit ve bir halk sağlığı sorunu haline geldiği
anlaşılmaktadır.
