Aim. To assess the morphometric characteristics of Achilles tendons in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and to identify factors associated with an increase in their size.Материал и методы. Totally, 100 patients included, with severe primary hyperlipidemia, defined as an increase in total cholesterol ≥7,5 mM/L and/or lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol ≥4,9 mM/L. All patients underwent duplex scanning of carotid arteries. Ultrasound examination of the Achilles tendons was carried out on an expert class ultrasound equipment Samsung Medison EKO 7 (Japan) with a linear sensor, frequency of 7-16 MHz. Thickness of the Achilles tendon (anteriorposterior dimension (APD)) was measured during scanning in the longitudinal section, width (transverse dimension (TD)) — scanning in the cross section. The measurements were made 2 cm proximal to the calcaneus.Results. Among the participants, 32 (32,0%) had definite/probable diagnosis of FH. In patients with definite/probable FH the mean values of APD were significantly higher in comparison with patients scored 5 or less points (DLCN) — 5,50 (4,70-6,10) mm vs. 5,00 (4,50-5,40), respectively (p=0,04). TD of Achilles tendons among this category of patients was also statistically significantly higher in comparison with the rest of patients — 14,0 (12,9-15,4) mm and 13,2 (12,2-14,2) mm, respectively (p=0,04). In correlation analysis, the relationship between the growth of patients and the APD of the Achilles tendons (r=0,34, p=0,001), the TD of the Achilles tendon (r=0,28, p=0,009), CIMT and TD of the Achilles tendons (r=0,21, p=0,05), amount of carotid plaques and TD of the Achilles tendon (r=0,26, p=0,01), total percentage of stenosis of the carotid arteries and the TD of the Achilles tendons (r=0,27, p=0,01), maximum percentage of stenosis of the carotid arteries and the TD of the Achilles tendons (r=0,28, p=0,007). According to regression analysis, factors associated with an increase in thickness of the Achilles tendons for more than 75 percentiles were male sex, diabetes mellitus, height, myocardial infarction in relatives, total percentage of stenosis of the carotid arteries and high-density lipoproteide cholesterol.Conclusion. In patients with definite/probable FH, mean values of width and thickness of the Achilles tendons were significantly higher in comparison with the rest of the patients. According to regression analysis, the factors associated with the increase in thickness of the Achilles tendons fro more than 75 percentiles were male sex, diabetes mellitus, height, myocardial infarction in relatives, total percentage of stenosis of the carotid arteries and HDL high-density lipoproteide cholesterol.

On the Historiography of the Rise and Demise of the Third Worldism
Authors: BALKILIÇ Özgür 
Published: September 2018

After 1945, Western countries witnessed the awakening of the Third World. People of underdeveloped countries, who had been subjected to domination by developed Western countries, showed an interest towards a project of the Third World; the underlying motto of which was shaped by disarmament, peace, and social and economic justice. This project aimed to embody a radical break from the economic, political, social, and cultural paths which were devised in the West and then imposed on the rest of the world. This paper will analyze the historiography of this project. In this context, this paper will approach such literature from the lenses of social movements that emerged in the Third World, of nation states and of international relations. Through social movements, it will firstly focus on the people’s struggles in the different regions of the so-called Third World. Secondly, the paper will analyze academic works whose main subject is the anti-imperialist struggles of different nationalist governments. And lastly, it will criticize scholarly works on the Non-Alignment Movement, which pursued an anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist political agenda at the international level.

Based on a proposal of definition for the concept of vulnerability in the constraints to have access to preventive information published from the systems of prevention of risk disaster, this article will feed the readers about the limitations that have been proposed from four points of view covering various aspects such as political, academic, economic and physical. Due to the lack of limited access to the alerts spread by different means of communication These several views can expose the society to one or more natural phenomena that might increase their vulnerability. The new definition was constructed by reviewing the associated existing literature and performing a qualitative analysis supported by the Nvivo software, using tools such as coding matrices and conglomerate analysis was possible to establish which are the strongest relationships between the proposed restrictions and how they correspond to the proposals of some authors, while establishing whether the focus of the present study has been previously used.

This article gives a short overview of the establishment ofthe linguistic frame-theorie and its potential to be applied in the practice. Pointing out the different approaches, the main focus of interest, however, is the contemplation of frames as an analysis instrument and as a cognitive unit of knowledge. The article introduces a method of the frame-analysis by Alexander Ziem, which is based on the lexicological approach of „Matrixframes“ by Klaus-Peter Konerding.
Politics before God
Authors: Kirkland Kit 
Published: September 2018

America’s 2018 midterm elections provide an opportunity to assess white evangelical Protestants’ counterintuitive embrace of Trump. Reports of the President’s past infidelities, suspicious business deals, and possible electoral collusion with Russia appear to have done little to abate the support of America’s most socially conservative law-and-order voters - white evangelical Protestants. PRRI (Public Religion Research Institute) data demonstrates though Trump never polled above 50 percent favourability with white evangelical-Protestants during the primaries, since his 2016 election the constituency has only grown more ‘Trump-drunk’ with a record 75 percent endorsing the President and his commitment to put ‘America First’.
Although America’s Christian right have long-standing Republican inclinations, evangelicals’ self-abasement under Trump remains difficult to understand. White evangelicals have migrated from a Christian movement guilty of overt partisan identification to a movement willing to corrupt their faith values and religious tradition for political opportunities. The effect, as Gerson (2018) notes, is a faith tradition now riddled with ‘political tribalism and hatred for political opponents, with little remaining of Christian public witness.’ Keller cuts deeper, saying ‘evangelical’ used to mean those who took the moral high ground, but now it’s nearly synonymous with ‘hypocrite’ (Keller cited in Gerson, 2018). ‘With an end-justifies-the-means style of politics that would have been unimaginable before [Trump]’ (Jones cited in Coppins 2018a), it seems America’s evangelicals are putting politics before God.
Subsequently, this article reflects on four dimensions of Trump’s success with white evangelicals. First, it discusses howTrump and the GOP presented 2016 as the ‘last chance election’. Secondly it explores Trump’s ‘priestly rhetoric’ and evangelicals’ ‘priestly faith’ in him. Thirdly, what have white evangelical-Protestants achieved under Trump in return for their votes? Lastly, how has Trump changed American evangelicalism and the nation? Is nativism and tribalism consuming their faith-tradition just as it’s dividing the country?

Teaching Computer Science Concepts Through Robotics to Elementary School Children
Authors: Friebroon Yesharim Mor , Ben-Ari Mordechai 
Published: September 2018

Studying computer science (CS) in elementary schools has gained more and more popularity during recent years. However, students at such an early age face difficulties when first engaging with CS. Robotics has been proposed as a medium for teaching CS to young students, because it reifies concepts in a tangible object and because of the excitement of working with robots. We asked: What CS concepts can elementary-school students learn and understand from the participation in a robotics-based CS course?Students from four second-grade classes (ages 7-8) were taught CS concepts using Thymio educational robot and its graphical software development environment. The syllabus was based on existing learning materials that were adapted to the cognitive level of the students.Â A taxonomy of six levels was created to characterize the learning outcomes of the course. The students' abilities were investigated using four questionnaires that were based on the taxonomy. In addition, field observations of the lessons were recorded.The analysis showed that the students were very engaged with the robotics activities and were highly motivated. They did learn basic CS concepts, although they found it difficult to create and run their own programs. There was a gap between the students' abilities regarding advanced concepts as reflected in the classroom activities and their performance on the questionnaires that they answered without the robot.Â

Many economists have stated that the government through its either fiscal policies or monetary policies has an important role in supporting economic growth of a country. As the consequence of government’s role in the development process, the size of the government – measured as the ratio of total spending to GDP also expanded along with the economic development. This is the fact faced by any country in the world. However, the growth of government’s size implies higher taxation, and thus, it sometimes become a bad sign for the whole economy. The higher tax collected by the government the more productive source taken by the government from the private sector. If positive impacts of government spending cannot exceed negative impact caused by the lost of productive source of private sectors deadweight loss of economy will appear. By assuming that government runs balanced budget in which all of the government expenditure is financed by tax revenue, so the growth maximizing tax ratio can be estimated. This rate measures the ratio of tax revenue to GDP that is needed to achieve the high and stable growth rate. The main objective of this study are to find the growth maximizing tax ratio for Indonesia and to analyze whether Indonesia has achieved this optimum point, or has been operating below it or contrary above it. The regression result show that the growth maximizing tax ratio for Indonesia is 14,64%.

Published: September 2018

Avaliou-se o desempenho de plantas e a produtividade de populações de soja estabelecidas com sementes de diferentes níveis de vigor, em duas épocas de semeadura na região de Balsas/MA. A primeira época de semeadura foi realizada logo após as primeiras chuvas, e segunda época ocorreu após as chuvas terem se estabilizado. Foram utilizados dois lotes de sementes de alto vigor, e dois de baixo vigor. Considerou-se alto vigor lotes com mais de 90% no teste de envelhecimento acelerado, e de baixo vigor aqueles com menos de 72% no mesmo teste. Avaliou-se: número de plantas por metro linear, altura de plantas, número de vagens por planta, número de sementes por vagem, número de vagens com uma, duas e três sementes, número de sementes por planta, peso de mil sementes e rendimento de sementes. O alto vigor das sementes favorece o estabelecimento da população de plantas, as características agronômicas e os componentes do rendimento, podendo proporcionar acréscimos superiores a 30% na produtividade em populações de soja, sendo que o efeito benéfico do vigor das sementes sobre o desempenho das plantas e a produtividade é potencializado sob condições de estresse ambiental.

A viticultura na região de Pelotas vem ganhando espaço, principalmente entre os agricultores familiares que objetivam diversificar a produção de área. Um dos entraves para a produção de uvas e a qualidade do solo o qual influencia na disponibilidade de nutrientes e no fornecimento de água a videira. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as relações existentes entre as variáveis da qualidade do solo e a uva em vinhedos localizados no município de Pelotas/RS, por meio da análise de correlação canônica. Foram avaliadas quatro áreas de vinhedos familiares. As coletas de solo foram realizadas em duas camadas, para a realização das análises: densidade do solo, porosidade total, diâmetro médio ponderado, carbono da biomassa microbiana, pH, capacidade de troca de cátions, saturação por bases, matéria orgânica e boro.Também foram coletadas amostras de uva para a realização da análise das variáveis: pH do mosto da fruta e sólidos solúveis totais. Os resultados indicaram que a matéria orgânica e a porosidade total foram as variáveis do solo que apresentaram maior correlação com as variáveis da uva. O pH foi a variável da uva que mais se correlacionou com as variáveis da qualidade do solo.

Published: September 2018

The purpose of the work consists in the investi-gation of the process of the properties required and shaping control possibilities obtaining by a surface.
It is well-known that a shaping process affects a factor quantity particularly in the course of complex methods of processing. And at the same time a consi-derably important factor is also a preliminary state of a surface since a final result of processing depends upon a totality of all factors. The time alignment of anode dissolution process with a blade treatment and a chem-ical reaction process on the surface under working dur-ing processing allows forming different conditions for shaping. The study of machining conditions impact upon quality of a surface layer in parts allows defining optimum cutting parameters and increasing operation properties of many parts. Conclusion: surface quality is affected not only by basic factors such as tool geometry, kinematics of a tool displacement, oscillations impact due to the level of technological system rigidity, plastic deformations in a cutting area conditioned on force effects of a cut-ting process, tool surface roughness, cutting speed, electrolyte concentration and electric circuit voltage, processing time and a temperature in a cutting area, but also physical-mechanical properties of a near-surface layer up to finishing, and also an alignment degree of different shaping methods and their impact intensity.
