Commuting decomposition of Kn1,n2,...,nk through realization of the product A(G)A(GP
k )
Authors: Bhat K. Arathi , Sudhakara G. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the notion of perfect matching property for a k-partition of vertex set of given graph. We consider nontrivial graphs G and GP
k , the k-complement of graph G with respect to a kpartition of V(G), to prove that A(G)A(GP
k ) is realizable as a graph if and only if P satis_es perfect matching property. For A(G)A(GP
k ) = A(Γ) for some graph Γ, we obtain graph parameters such as chromatic number, domination number etc., for those graphs and characterization of P is given for which GP
k and Γ are isomorphic. Given a 1-factor graph G with 2n vertices, we propose a partition P for which GP
k is a graph of rank r and A(G)A(GP
k ) is graphical, where n ≤ r ≤ 2n. Motivated by the result of characterizing decomposable Kn,n into commuting perfect matchings [2], we characterize complete k-partite graph Kn1,n2,...,nk which has a commuting decomposition into a perfect matching and its k-complement.

AbstractThe synthesis, structural characterization, and chemical bonding peculiarities of new intermetallic compounds from Y–Mg–Ni ternary system are reported herein. The crystal structures of these compounds were determined by single-crystal and X-ray powder diffraction analysis. Three ternary compounds were studied: Y2Mg11Ni2[own structure type, monoclinic, Pearson SymbolmS30, Space GroupC2/m,a=18.969(4),b=3.6582(7),c=11.845(2) Å,β=125.07(3)°], Y4Mg3Ni2[Ru4Al3B2structure type, tetragonal,P4/mmm,tP18,a=10.8668(2),c=3.59781(12) Å] and YMgNi [MoAlB structure type, orthorhombic,Cmcm,a=3.6713(4),b=17.708(3),c=3.9583(5) Å]. New compositions of Y1−xMgxNi4and Y5−xMg24+xsolid solutions were detected: YMg0.86(1)Ni4.14(1)[SnMgCu4structure type, cubic,F4̅3m,cF24,a=7.0747(6) Å] and Y4.28(1)Mg24.72(1)[Ti5Re24structure type, cubic,I4̅3m,cI58,a=11.2655(11) Å]. The crystal structure peculiarities of these compounds are discussed. A particular attention has been given to Y2Mg11Ni2and its relations with other Mg-containing compounds. Crystallographic analysis together with linear muffin-tin orbital band structure calculations reveals the presence of [Y2Ni4@Mg20] and [Y4Ni2@Mg18] clusters in Y2Mg11Ni2phase. For Y4Mg3Ni2the formation of the Ni–Mg nets was observed, while the Y atoms form a monolayer.

Un tercio de la población mundial está infectada por tuberculosis. Cada año en el mundo se reportan de 8 a 10 millones de casos nuevos de tuberculosis, y cerca de 3 millones fallecen a causa de la enfermedad. Suele afectar los pulmones, pero en 33 % de los casos afecta otros órganos. La tuberculosis vertebral ocurre en menos de 1% de los pacientes, es más frecuente en niños que adultos. Los datos clínicos más comunes son: dolor, limitación funcional, y contractura muscular. En etapas avanzadas presenta una giba dorsal, y alteraciones neurológicas. Presentamos el caso de una paciente femenina de 55 años con dolor lumbar irradiado a miembro inferior izquierdo de 4 meses de evolución. Estudios imagenológicos revelan deshidratación del disco intervertebral L4-L5, acuñamiento del cuerpo vertebral de L2-L3 con desplazamiento del muro posterior en L2. Recibió tratamiento médico, se realiza biopsia por aspiración guiada por fluoroscopia y se envían muestras para histopatología y cultivo para micobacterias con adecuada respuesta clínica.
Fertility preference of pregnant women attending the Colonial War Memorial Hospital (CWMH) Antenatal Clinic, Suva, Fiji Islands, 2015
Authors: Nusair Pushpa , Mohammadnezhad Masoud , Tahitua Kalolaine Laukau Longopoa 
Published: September 2018

Background: There are more than two hundred million women in developing countries of childbearing age who do not use modern contraceptives but wish to avoid pregnancy. The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in Fiji remains moderately high at 2.6 children per woman. This survey was conducted to identify the fertility preferences of pregnant women attending the Colonial War Memorial Hospital (CWMH) Antenatal Clinic, in Suva, Fiji Islands.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 2,203 pregnant women who attended the antenatal clinic of CWMH in Suva between May 2014 and December 2015. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Using purposive sampling, those who met the study inclusion criteria were asked to answer the questionnaire. The collected data was analysed using SPSS and descriptive statistical analysis and the results are shown in tables and graph format.
Results: The majority of participants were aged 20 to 24 years old (36.3%) and more than two thirds of them were married (88.1%). Ninety-one percent of the participant’s partners were employed and 58.3% of them were living together for 0 to 4 years. Fifty one percent were 20 to 24 years at the time of first sexual intercourse. The best spacing time to wait between pregnancies was reported to be 3 years (37.4%), followed by 2 years (27.3%) and 4 years (12.8%). One third of participants (34.5%) preferred to have one child after this pregnancy. A majority of participants were planning to have 3 to 4 children (48.6%) when they were nulliparas. Importantly 50.3% of women did not want any more children after this pregnancy highlighting an unmet contraception need.
Conclusion: The results of the study highlighted the fertility preference of pregnant women in Fiji and the factors affecting it. This study will give insights to decision makers to develop interventions based on the influencing factors which can affect promoting family planning among Fijian women.
Evaluation of Community Health Workers’ Upskilling Training in Maternal and Newborn Care at Mount Hagen in Western Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea
Authors: Kulimbua Jolly 
Published: September 2018

Background: Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Western highlands Province were given a 6-month CHW upskilling training to enable them to provide essential maternal-newborn care, do timely referral of high risk clients and refer emergencies to hospital. Five trainings were conducted over the five year period. Forty seven (47) CHWs were upskilled over that five year period.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of the CHW Upskilling Training during 2012 – 2016.

Methods: A post-training assessment was conducted by direct observations of the CHWs and the Officer in Charges (OICs) at their workplaces. Assessors observed the application of knowledge and skills and determined if there were improvements in the health facilities. Purposeful discussions were carried out to elicit qualitative feedback from CHWs OICs of the health facilities.

Findings: The findings were impressive. The organisation of health facilities improved with specific schedules made for priority reproductive and maternal health services. The recording of maternal and newborn care services indicated great improvement. The ANC, family planning and labour ward registers indicated the kinds of services provided including management of life-threatening conditions. Records show reduced maternal and newborn deaths. Records also show reduced unnecessary referrals.

Conclusions: The CHW Up skilling Training Program is an effective intervention to improve reproductive health and maternal-newborn services in remote areas of Papua New Guinea, particularly where there are no midwives, or higher category health care providers. It has contributed to improved maternal-newborn survival.

Recommendations: The evaluation recommends that the CHW Upskilling Training should reach more CHWs to fill in gaps in health facilities where there are no midwives or doctor. In Papua New Guinea, the CHWs Upskilling program in maternal and newborn care is recommended for all CHWs.
Multiletramentos e a prática de escrita em língua estrangeira: uma análise da produção de webpages a partir da Wikipedia
Authors: De Oliveira Larisse Carvalho , Nunes Tiago Alves , Queiroz Carvalho Jorge Luis 
Published: September 2018

Em decorrência do mundo globalizado e informatizado em que vivemos, é sabido que os adolescentes utilizam a internet com frequência e a partir de diferentes dispositivos tecnológicos. Levando isso em consideração, objetivamos identificar as estratégias de escrita em inglês/LE (Língua Estrangeira) no ambiente digital usadas por alunos de uma escola pública de ensino médio, na produção de uma wikipage. Para tanto, tomamos como base os estudos sobre as práticas de letramento e os multiletramentos propostos por Barton e Hamilton (1998), Street (2003, 2014), Street e Castanheira (2014), Rojo (2009) e Cazden et al. (1996); quanto ao letramento digital, apoiamo-nos em Novais, Ribeiro e D’andrea (2011), Xavier (2011) bem como Ribeiro e Coscarelli (2014). A partir da análise dos dados, pudemos verificar que a atividade colaborou para a compreensão e aquisição dos vocábulos relacionados ao ambiente digital, bem como instigou os alunos a aprofundarem conhecimentos sobre sua identidade local que, por vezes, acaba por ser silenciada diante da cultura globalizada hegemônica. Diagnosticamos, ainda, que os alunos têm domínio de um conjunto de habilidades e competências em ambiente digital, necessitando, ocasionalmente, de sistematização para conseguir sobrepor algumas dificuldades. Ademais, notamos que o uso significativo da língua inglesa foi estimulado e que cabe aos professores proporem medidas de intervenção que possam incentivar e aprofundar práticas dessa natureza.

Authors: Correia Lidia , Carvalho Wilson , Chen Becky 
Published: September 2018

Este artigo reporta um dos resultados de um estudo que examinou a compreensão leitora em adolescentes e jovens adultos com Síndrome de Asperger (SA). O estudo foi conduzido na cidade de Fortaleza, região nordeste do Brasil, com 6 estudantes que já concluíram o Ensino Fundamental I. Mais especificamente, o referido estudo teve seu foco na investigação e melhoria da compreensão leitora de adolescentes e jovens adultos com SA através de um programa de intervenção baseado em estratégias metacognitivas, tendo como base a abordagem conciliadora de leitura. Adotamos o modelo de leitura proposto por Kintsch e Van Dijk (1983), que apresenta a compreensão de leitura como um processo dinâmico, online e estratégico. Além disso, nos baseamos na ideia de Solé (1998) para abordar as estratégias básicas de leitura. Os resultados apresentados neste artigo são um recorte da pesquisa citada, apontam que atividades de ensino com instruções explícitas que sugiram um caminho a ser seguido durante a leitura, servindo como uma espécie de guia de leitura e estimulando o aluno a refletir acerca de seus conhecimentos, de sua compreensão e que o levem ao automonitoramento constituem um meio seguro para minorar as dificuldades de compreensão leitora de pessoas com SA.

Published: September 2018

This research attempted to identify and analyze the Cebuano-Bisaya radio health commercials using Schegloff’s (2007) framework on pre-sequences with the support of Yule’s (1996) speech act theory. Thirty (30) Cebuano-Bisaya radio health commercials were gathered from two selected radio stations. The results revealed that representatives were the most dominant function in speech acts that reflected in pre-sequences specifically with pre-offers and pre-announcements through drama and testimonial categories which are often used in medicinal product commercials. In advertising strategies, Cebuano-Bisaya commercials use Representatives and Expressive as persuasive devices in addressing the advertisers’ intended message to the target audience. Also, Cebuano-Bisaya commercials used Representatives and Expressive as an appeal to suggest an intention for the listener to buy advertised products.Keywords: Cebuano, commercial, health, pre-sequences, radio, speech acts

WOMEN ISSUES IN TWO SHORT STORIES BY RATNA INDRASWARI IBRAHIM: A STUDY OF COMPARATIVE LITERATURE TOWARD TWO SHORT STORY; ‘RAMBUTNYA JUMINTEN’ AND ‘BAJU’
Authors: Mardani Putri Bestari , Suprasti Devi , Aratika Juni 
Published: September 2018

The issue of women’s life has always been an interesting topic to be discussed. This kind of issue has been widely delivered by story writers, which is by placing women as the main character in his/her work. It aims to convey the results of their thoughts in the form of literary works. As already been known, literary works are one of an essential container to describe the reflexivity of society. Sensitive issues could be freely expressed in literary works. As an example is the issue of women which is described in short stories form and published through the mass media. The aims of this paper are to explain the forms of problems or issues revolving women that are presented in the ‘Baju’and ‘Rambutnya Juminten’text by Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim. This study uses the theory of feminism by Simone de Beauvoir. Beauvoir suggests that women are considered as the second-class citizens or as the second sex due to patriarchal power, a notion that can lead to gender inequality (Kuntowijoyo 1987: 136). Based on the study, it was found that both texts reveal various forms of women’s issues, which are patriarchy and gender constructions. Both traditional women and an empress with a high social position experience the same issue. Although the two female figures were trying to speak up, they are being ignored. This is because there is a widely known stereotype that states that women are emotional and irrational, so women are considered unable to manage their own lives and are not suitable to speak in a public sphere.

Published: September 2018

Activities Daily Living (ADL) is the most common problem in schizophrenia. One most crucial effort is providing health education to families is considered useful in order to be able to increase family knowledge of the treatment process. The use of health education media can take advantage of the development of smartphone technology so as to make health education more interactive. Moreover, the ICS_Mobile application contains information about ADL through text and video. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ICS_Mobile application on family knowledge about Activities Daily Living (ADL) in schizophrenic patients. This study uses a quasi-experimental research method with pre-test and post-test control group approach. The population is 341 members of schizophrenia family with a sample of 40 respondents, divided into 2 groups, the intervention group 20 respondents and the control group 20 respondents. Sampling was collected by using purposive sampling. Respondents' knowledge was measured using instruments developed by researchers and content testing and construct test with Crombach'sAlpa value of 0.954. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The results showed that there was an increase in the mean score of knowledge after the intervention with the value (t = -14.079 p = 0,000), there was no significant increase in the average score of knowledge in the control group with the value (t = -1,751 p = 0,096), and there were differences the average knowledge between the control group and the intervention group with the value (t = 12,933 p = 0,000). The conclusion of this study that the provision of health education interventions using the ICS_Mobile application shows a significant influence on increasing family knowledge about Daily Living Activities (ADL) in schizophrenic patients. Researchers recommend the use of ICS_Mobile applications in health services as an option in increasing knowledge of schizophrenia treatment.Keywords: Activities daily living, ICS_Mobile, Knowledge, Schizophrenia, Smartphone

AbstractTermin gammapatia monoklonalna o znaczeniu nerkowym (MGRS) w akronimie różni się jedynie jedną literą od gammapatii monoklonalnej o nieokreślonym znaczeniu (MGUS), jednakże w znaczeniu klinicznym jest to zupełnie inna jednostka. W przebiegu MGRS białko produkowane przez klon komórek uszkadza nerki, przez co może prowadzić do ich niewydolności. W niniejszym artykule dokonano przeglądu piśmiennictwa dotyczącego jednostek chorobowych zaliczanych do grupy MGRS, ich podziału ze względu na typ uszkodzenia nerek i charakterystykę deponowanych w nich złogów. W pracy omówiono także współczesne możliwości leczenia w poszczególnych jednostkach chorobowych zaliczanych do MGRS.

A 13-year-old male gymnast presented via direct access to physical therapy with a chief complaint of insidious-onset right anterolateral shoulder pain that occurred only when performing on the rings and high bar. Following physical examination, the patient was advised to avoid any gymnastic activities that might cause pain while completing stretching and neuromuscular training over the following 2 weeks. Due to continued symptoms, the patient was then referred to an orthopaedist. Radiographs were performed, followed by magnetic resonance imaging without contrast. The patient was diagnosed with a type 1 Salter-Harris fracture. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(9):729. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.7296
O que os livros didáticos dizem sobre a temática indígena: o antes e o depois da Lei 11.645/2008
Authors: Da Silva Santiago Léia Adriana , Da Silveira Nayane Ribeiro , De Carvalho Marco Antônio , Mariano Sangelita Miranda  Franco 
Published: September 2018

Este artigo tem como objeto de reflexão os livros didáticos da disciplina de História, em que se busca apresentar os resultados de duas pesquisas que foram realizadas sobre a temática indígena – uma em 2007 e outra em 2016 – no que se refere às semelhanças ou permanências presentes nos livros, mesmo após a implementação da Lei nº 11.645 (2008) e propostas curriculares, no sentido de perceber se estes têm contribuído ou não para um ensino de História que estimule a formação da alteridade e da consciência histórica e cidadã. Para tanto, foram selecionados textos e imagens iconográficas contidas nos livros didáticos das coleções, Horizontes para a 3ª e 4º Series, Projeto Buriti e Descobrir o Mundo, da 3ª série, respectivamente publicados nos anos de 2001, 2014 e 2015, sendo os dois últimos veiculados em escolas municipais e estaduais situadas no estado de Goiás. Inferimos que ainda se faz necessário continuar a aperfeiçoar a análise das políticas públicas, das propostas curriculares, dos livros e Guias Didáticos e das práticas e saberes dos professores na formação inicial e continuada, a fim de que tanto possa contribuir para a compreensão e implementação de políticas e saberes que atendam aos desafios do século XXI, como promova um ensino de história que construa a consciência histórica e cidadã e a alteridade.
