Metabolic Syndrome and Pulmonary Function Indices
Authors: Pouryaghoub Gholamreza , Mehrdad Ramin , Mehraban Mohammad 
Published: April 2019

Abstract

Background and aims: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a collection of metabolic risk factors including increased waist circumference (WC), elevated blood pressure (BP), increased triglyceride (TG), decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and increased fasting blood sugar (FBS). We aimed to examine the relevance between the MetS and its components with reduced lung functions in adult men.

Material and method: A total of 3899 adult men underwent screening examination between 2015-2016 in a cross-sectional survey.

Results: The mean (± SD) age of our population was 37.25 (± 4.9) years. The overall prevalence of MetS was 7.6%. The total prevalence of reduced lung function in men with MetS was 13.8%. The most common type of reduced lung function was the restrictive pattern (7.1%). The forced expiratory volume of first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) values were significantly lower in men with MetS (both p<0.001). Also these values were significantly lower in diabetic men compared to non-diabetics and those with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). WC and HDL were the most potent predictors of reduced FEV1 and FVC.

Conclusions: We obtained a positive independent association between MetS and reduced lung function in adult men which may be related mainly due to increased WC and decreased HDL.

Authors: Pankiv Volodymyr , Pankiv Ivan 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background and aims: Vitamin D status in many health managements have been researched extensively, but its dependence with obesity still remains controversial. This article is devoted to examination of blood cholecalciferol levels in Ukrainian population with establishment the association of cholecalciferol levels and body mass index (BMI). Materials and methods: For this observed investigation, data were collected during the summer 2017, over a period of one week from three township areas in Carpathian region, Ukraine from 304 adults aged 19-78 years. Measured variables contained 25(OH)D level, weight and weight applied to check BMI degree. The average level of vitamin D among adolescents presented 23.1 ± 8.2 ng/ml. Female gender was associated with lower vitamin D concentrations (22.9 ± 9.3 ng/ml vs. 26.2 ± 8.5 ng/ml for men). Among the participants, 74.4% had a BMNI of 25 kg/m2 and over, and in 27.3% of them the number was 30 kg/m2 and over. Results: Violation of vitamin D status was detected in 90.5% persons. 1.8% people had been identified as severe 25(OH)D deficiency. Measurement of cholecalciferol demonstrated meaningful connection between its level and BMI only in persons with BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2. Average vitamin D concentrations in persons with BMI over30 kg/m2 did not vary to a significant range from data in persons with normal body weight. Conclusions: Vitamin D status among the adolescents in Ukraine is far from optimum. Our results confirm reliable association between cholecalciferol level and BMI in persons with overweight. Interchange between conservation of vitamin D and BMI needs additional surveys.

Published: April 2019

This article discusses about the associations of menhirs with landscape features(river and mounds) in Northwestern of Kerinci Valley. Customarily, this region is called as Tanah Sekudung with its centre in three villages (dusuns) that is Dusun Siulak Gedang, Siulak Panjang dan Siulak Mukai. This research uses phenomenology approach by Tilley. Phenomenological approach stresses the experience and bodily sensory of observer/researcher. The experience is obtained through observation participant method. In this method, the experience and interaction between observer and menhir be a part which is described.As results in this research, it is known that menhirs erection on the mounds or higherlands and its distribution which similarly with direction of the main river flow related with the legend of ancestors, cognitive space, cosmology and metaphora in Tanah Sekudung community. For example, river is refered to determinate of direction traditionally and also was became reference the migration of ancestors in the past.Therefore, menhirs as markers of migration paths, shape distribution similarly with directionof river flow.Artikel ini membahas asosiasi menhir dengan fitur lanskap (sungai dan gundukan tanah) di bagian barat laut Lembah Kerinci. Secara adat, wilayah ini disebut pula sebagai Tanah Sekudung, dengan pusatnya berada di tiga dusun, yaitu Dusun Siulak Gedang, Siulak Panjang, dan Siulak Mukai. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi yang dikemukakan oleh Tilley. Pendekatan fenomenologi menekankan pengalaman dan indra tubuh (bodily sensory) dari pengamat atau peneliti di lapangan. Pengalaman tersebut diperoleh dari pengumpulan data melalui metode observasi partisipan. Dalam hal ini, pengalaman dan interaksi antara peneliti dan menhir menjadi bagian yang akan dideskripsikan. Sebagai hasil penelitian, diketahui bahwa pendirian menhir di atas gundukan tanah dan distribusinya yang searah dengan arah aliran sungai utama terkait dengan legenda para leluhur, ruang kognitif, kosmologi, dan metafora yang dimiliki penduduk. Sebagai contoh, sungai yang dijadikan acuan dalam penentuan arah secara tradisional sekaligus dijadikan sebagai acuan perpindahan leluhur pada masa lalu. Oleh karena itu, menhir yang menjadi penanda lintasan migrasi leluhur membentuk arah distribusi yang sama dengan arah aliran sungai.

Published: April 2019

El constante cambio del entorno empresarial y la alta competitividad de los mercados han llevado al empresario a usar nuevas tecnologías e innovar en sus procesos. Sin embargo, esto no es suficiente. Es necesario implementar sistemas de gestión de calidad que permitan mantener altos estándares en los productos o servicios.
Las nuevas políticas mundiales han permitido identificar la importancia de gestionar las empresas integralmente desde los campos de la calidad, la seguridad y salud ocupacional y el ambiente; hecho que repercute en la forma como se llevan a cabo las actividades propias de la gestión de la organización y en la manera en que se pueden fortalecer los procesos internos y externos.
Las auditorías internas son el mecanismo por el cual la organización identifica, proceso a proceso, las debilidades, fortalezas u oportunidades de mejora que tiene el sistema integrado de gestión implementado; a partir de allí se analizan y se planifican las acciones para tomar decisiones que lleven a la mejora.
El objetivo de este documento es dar al lector (por medio de un estudio de caso) una idea general sobre las auditorías internas, que le permitirá conocer ciertas particularidades de una auditoria interna real hecha a una organización, con las correspondientes descripciones de cada situación en cada una de las etapas de una auditoria.

Published: April 2019

Background: Fractures of the distal end of the humerus are difficult to treat. The goal of treatment is to achieve a stable, painless elbow with early adequate range of motion. They are operated mainly by posterior approach among which olecranon osteotomy (bony component violation) and triceps tongue elevation (soft tissue component breach) were used in this study.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare olecranon osteotomy and triceps tongue elevation in terms of functional outcome (Mayo elbow performance index), rates of complications and others.
Methodology: A randomized control trial was conducted including 39 eligible adults (20 in triceps tongue elevation and 19 in olecranon osteotomy group) presenting to B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences during the study period of 12 months duration. All skeletally mature adult patients with isolated traumatic closed intra-articular or distal end fracture of humerus without distal neurovascular deficit were included. Patients with polytrauma, refractures, compartment syndrome and patient not giving consent were excluded from the study. They were operated and followed up at 2, 6, 12 and 24 weeks.
Results: The demographic profiles of the two groups were comparable. There was significant difference between the intraoperative time between the two groups (p=0.009). At final follow up, there were no significant differences in functional outcome and complications.
Conclusion: The approaches are comparable in terms of union, post-operative function and complications. There was increased intraoperative time in the olecranon osteotomy approach suggesting that patients who cannot tolerate longer intraoperative time may benefit from triceps tongue elevation approach.

Published: April 2019

Background: Flexible bronchoscopy is the main modality of diagnosing lung malignancy as per the location of lesion in our setup. Accurate diagnosis and categorization into various types is vital for its prognostic and management point of view.
Objectives: The study was conducted to find out yield of bronchoscopy and FNAC in suspected lung lesion and to know the various subtypes of bronchogenic carcinoma.
Methodology: The study was conducted in Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital from December 2016 to May 2018. This was a prospective observational study conducted in 90 radiological suspected lung lesions. Radiological, bronchoscopy, histopathological and cytopathological findings were analyzed and evaluated. Data were recorded on a pre-designed proforma and entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.
Results: Among 90 suspected lung lesions who underwent contrast enhanced computed tomography, chest mass lesion was seen in 57(63.3%) subjects, nodular in 8 (8.9%), consolidation in 7 (7.8%), fibrosis in 7 (7.8%), collapse in 6 (6.7%) and pleural effusion in 3 (3. 3%).The most common malignancy was squamous cell carcinoma (53.48%). Lung malignancy was more common among endobronchial growth. The tendency of lesion to be malignant however tended to be significant at right upper lobe (p=0.02). When the suspected lesion was mass, the occurrence of malignancy was significantly higher (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The diagnostic yield increases with presence of right upper lesion with endobronchial growth. When the lung lesion presents as mass, the yield of having malignancy is also higher.

Este artículo describe y analiza, desde la perspectiva de género, las estrategias expropiatorias que la Minera San Xavier utilizó para apoderarse del territorio en Cerro de San Pedro, San Luis Potosí, y continuar con la acumulación de capital por medio de la desposesión. A través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas y el método etnográfico, la investigación muestra que la megaminería, además de generar cambios y cercamiento territorial, se aprovechó de la pobreza, la falta del trabajo en el municipio y de la limitada participación política de las mujeres en la asamblea ejidal para explotar el territorio. Esto generó problemas ambientales y sociales en la comunidad.
O ENSINO EM CRECHE: NOTAS A PARTIR DE PRESSUPOSTOS DA PSICOLOGIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL
Authors: Barbosa Eliza Maria , Silva Janaína Cassiano , Da Silva Altina Abadia 
Published: April 2019

Neste ensaio discutimos alguns pressupostos teórico-práticos sobre a organização do ensino em creche de crianças com idade entre um e dois anos, indicando suas contribuições para a enriquecimento da atividade objetal manipulatória característica do desenvolvimento das crianças nessa idade. Visando atingir esse objetivo, refletimos sobre a permanência no atual cenário da educação infantil de traços característicos de funções assumidas pelas instituições educativas em outros momentos históricos e discutimos os elementos constituintes da formação da consciência articulado aos conceitos de linguagem e atividade manipulatória. Reafirmamos a partir de princípios do Materialismo histórico-dialético que as crianças durante a primeira infância iniciam a jornada de produção de sua existência por meio de relações condicionadas historicamente, sob o princípio da cooperação entre os homens e esta relação de dependência lhes fornece a consciência de que vivem em sociedade. Pelos construtos da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, demonstramos a influência decisiva que os adultos/educadores têm sobre a gênese do ato voluntário nas crianças e como sua linguagem, e depois a das próprias crianças, desempenha um papel regulador das demais funções psicológicas, entre elas a atenção, a percepção e a memória. Alertamos para que a educação em todos os seus níveis reconheça que sua função de formar plenamente o ser humano singular ocorre sob condições históricas e socialmente determinadas. Isso nos permite concluir que as práticas educativas conscientemente comprometidas com a humanização das crianças são a via possível para a superação de mecanismos que historicamente aniquilam suas possibilidades de desenvolvimento humano-genérico.
AVALIAÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL NO CONTEXTO HISTÓRICO

Published: April 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir o processo histórico da avaliação na Educação Infantil, uma trajetória centrada em juízos e valores sobre a criança. A necessidade de uma reforma educacional voltada ao aluno era evidente, a avaliação em uma perspectiva transformadora, onde os resultados fizessem parte da análise da vivencia da criança. A avaliação desde o século IV não era compreendida, sabemos que a avaliação é indispensável para valorizar a diversidade dos alunos e proporcionar experiências que lhes ajudem a avançar e a desenvolver-se, é a partir da avaliação que podemos conhecer as diferentes dificuldades e necessidades individuais dos alunos e planejar diversas atividades que possibilitem seu desenvolvimento, sem que se sintam incapazes e frustrados a realizá-las. Assim, algumas implementações nas Políticas Públicas com base em documentos legais aconteceram até o surgimento do Referencial Curricular Nacional para a Educação Infantil (RCNEI), visando à orientação didática de professores nesta área. O RCNEI foi publicado em 1998 e ainda é utilizado por professores e instituições em todo o país, embora um marco importante de base para a construção de outros documentos de políticas públicas no Brasil, a avaliação na educação infantil só será efetiva com a crescente e efetiva formação de qualidade ao professor, pois é ele que atua diretamente com as crianças na sala de aula. Neste caso, é essencial a mediação, ou seja, um professor que promova um ambiente de confiança, valorizando as ações educativas desencadeando novos conhecimentos construídos a partir desenvolvimento individual de cada aluno.

Published: April 2019

Dari sekian banyak jenis ikan hasil perikanan tangkap, ternyata Ikan Lemadang dan Terisi termasuk jenis ikan yang hasil tangkapannya cukup banyak. Disamping itu, kedua jenis komoditas inipun mempunyai nilai yang cukup ekonomis. Sehubungan dengan hal tersebut, maka diperlukan fungsi-fungsi tataniaga seperti : fungsi pertukaran(exchanged function),fungsi fisik (fhysical function), dan fungsi penunjang (facilitating function) agar kondisi ikan tersebut sampai kepada konsumen dalam kondisi segar dan harga yang sesuai. Penelitian dilakukan di Tempat Pelelangan IKan (TPI) Mina Fajar Sidik Kecamatan Blanakan Kabupaten Subang Provinsi Jawa Barat. Ruang lingkup penelitian di fokuskan kepada kedua jenis ikan tersebut yaitu Ikan Lemadang dan Terisi. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan sekunder. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif dengan jenis penelitian studi kasus. Analisis efisiensi tataniaga dilakukan dengan megetahui marjin tataniaga dari kedua jenis ikan tersebut. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efisiensi tataniaga Ikan Lemadang dan Terisi di TPI Mina Fajar Sidik Kecamatan Blanakan Kabupaten Subang Jawa Barat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tataniaga kedua jenis komoditas ini adalah “tidak efisien”. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, alternative solusi perbaikan terhadap tataniaga Ikan Lemadang dan Terisi adalah perlu dilakukannya pemangkasan terhadap saluran tataniaga Ikan Lemadang maupun Terisi, sehingga tidak terlalu banyak fungsi-fungsi tataniaga yang terjadi pada setiap lembaga tataniaga yang berdampak kepada tingginya harga yang diterima konsumen.

Published: April 2019

BackgroundChanges in clinical guidelines for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have widened eligibility for statin therapy.AimTo illustrate the potential impacts of changes in clinical guidelines.Design and settingModelling the impacts of seven consecutive European guidelines based on a cohort of people aged ≥50 years from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing.MethodThe eligibility for statin therapy of a sample of people without a history of CVD was established, according to changing guideline recommendations and modelled associated potential costs. The authors calculated the numbers needed to treat (NNT) to prevent one major vascular event in patients at the lowest baseline risk for which each of the seven guidelines recommended treatment, and for those at low, medium, high, and very-high risk according to 2016 guidelines. These were compared with the NNT that patients reported as required to justify taking a daily medicine.ResultsThe proportion of patients eligible for statins increased from approximately 8% in 1987 to 61% in 2016; associated costs rose from €13.9 million to €107.1 million per annum. The NNT for those at the lowest risk for which each guideline recommended treatment rose from 40 to 400. By 2016, the NNT for low-risk patients was 400 compared to ≤25 very-high risk patients. The proportion of patients eligible for statins achieving NNT levels that patients regarded as justified to taking a daily medicine fell as guidelines changed over time.ConclusionIncreased eligibility for statin therapy impacts large proportions of the present population and healthcare budgets. Decisions to take and reimburse statins should be considered on the basis of expected cost-effectiveness and acceptability to patients.
Verbal Irony as a Communicative Mode of Persuasion
Authors: Neshkovska Silvana , Trajkova Zorica 
Published: April 2019

The general pervasiveness of politics in modern society renders political discourse susceptible to analysis by many different profiles of researchers, especially linguists.
This particular paper attempts to shed light on the usage of verbal irony in political discourse. The premise we put forward here is that politicians in their political speeches purposefully employ irony in order to enhance the persuasiveness of their speech. Moreover, we believe that the enhancement of persuasiveness is in a direct correlation with the pragmatic functions of verbal irony. To put it differently, 'seasoning' political speeches with ironic statements which evoke either humor; or express mild ridicule, or harsh criticism at the expense of the political opponent, is what makes them truly persuasive.
The corpus compiled for the purposes of this research comprises political speeches delivered by American politicians in the course of the 2016 U.S. presidential race.
The results obtained primarily confirm the relatively high incidence of verbal irony in political speeches; then, they also point to the relatively high degree of persuasion attached to irony in general and its association mainly with expressing mild ridicule and harsh criticism.
