Visita domiciliaria: un espacio para la adquisición y modificación de prácticas en salud
Authors: Guevara Francesa Giancarlo , Solís Cordero Katherine 
Published: November 2018

La visita domiciliaria realizada por el asistente técnico de atención primaria en salud (ATAPS), corresponde a la principal actividad fundamental de atención primaria desarrollada en Costa Rica, cuya principal labor es proporcionar información y recomendaciones sobre educación en salud a las personas usuarias. Respecto de lo anterior, el objetivo de esta investigación es determinar los conocimientos y la modificación en los estilos de vidas que las personas realizan posterior a la visita del ATAPS. El diseño del estudio fue cualitativo, analítico y observacional. Para la recolección de los datos se aplicó entrevistas a profundidad a las personas usuarias visitadas y se realizó un grupo focal con los ATAPS. Para el análisis de los datos, se estableció categorías de análisis desde la metodología de la teoría fundamentada. Se identificó que las personas usuarias refieren un mayor adquisición de conocimientos cuando se abordó temas como dengue, la vacunación, el lavado de manos, la citología vaginal y una alimentación saludable y un predominio significativo del ama de casa en la participación de esta actividad, lo que al final limita la transmisibilidad de la información al resto de los integrantes. Con respecto a la modificación de prácticas, la mayoría de las personas expresan cambios en estilos de vida saludable y mayores facilidades para el acceso a los servicios de salud. Se concluye que es importante entender la visita domiciliaria como un medio de aproximación entre las familias y el sistema de salud, que favorezca el acceso a los servicios de salud, mientras se constituye en un instrumento que humaniza la atención de las necesidades.

Published: November 2018

El artículo muestra la atención exclusiva de enfermeras en una maternidad, cuyo objetivo fue analizar las representaciones sociales de las usuarias acerca de la atención brindada por las enfermeras obstetras en la institución. Es una investigación con enfoque cualitativo, descriptivo; direccionado por la teoría de las representaciones sociales de Moscovici. Se entrevistó a 34 mujeres atendidas en la maternidad. El análisis de datos se efectuó mediante marco interpretativo, seleccionando las ideas destacadas por medio de técnica cromática; en seguida, se discute los datos empíricos confrontados con la teoría. Las usuarias señalan que la atención recibida se inscribió en un marco de humanización, responsabilidad y confianza, lo cual posibilita la atención de un parto de acuerdo con sus costumbres que, con base en la teoría, refleja autonomía profesional. Se concluye que el modelo de atención muestra que el cuidado de enfermería se basa en conocimientos, experiencia y valores que potencializan la práctica, desde la que se aprecia el cuidado humano, cálido y personalizado.
Uso de la amikacina como profilaxis en pacientes sometidos a prostatectomía
Authors: Quesada Mora Ana Guisell , Ramírez Campos Seidy , Brenes Campos Geovanna 
Published: November 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar la mejor evidencia científica disponible sobre el uso de la amikacina como profilaxis en pacientes sometidos a prostatectomía. La indicación de amikacina en cirugías tipo prostatectomías se remite al uso profiláctico, razón por la cual surge la inquietud sobre el beneficio de la administración del medicamento en estos pacientes tomando en cuenta que, entre los efectos adversos, se evidencia nefrotoxicidad y ototoxicidad principalmente en personas adultas mayores o con problemas renales previos. Se utilizó la metodología de práctica clínica basada en la evidencia (PCBE), partiendo de una pregunta clínica para posteriormente hacer las búsquedas electrónicas en bases de datos como: MEDLINE, Google académico y Cochrane Library Plus. Después de establecer los criterios de inclusión y exclusión y análisis crítico, se seleccionó cuatro documentos que se relacionan con la respuesta a la pregunta planteada. Los resultados para el análisis crítico fueron revisados minuciosamente a través de la plataforma informática FCL 2.0 con las plantillas correspondientes. La evidencia señala que ningún estudio respondió directamente a la pregunta clínica planteada, las investigaciones analizadas no demuestran evidencia que confirme que el uso profiláctico de la amikacina sea beneficioso en pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente. Se concluye que no se encuentró evidencia significativa que respalde el uso profiláctico de la amikacina para disminuir las infecciones. La profilaxis se enfoca en administrar en pacientes sometidos a procedimientos quirúrgicos urológicos como primera elección un antibiótico de menor espectro, ya que para administrar amikacina hay que cumplir con los lineamientos institucionales establecidos según la condición de cada usuario, tomando en cuenta los resultados de las pruebas de función renal pre y post administración.
ʻ...Finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary’ – Non-utilitarian artefacts in the upper palaeolithic – A case study from Mogyorósbánya (Transdanubia, Hungary)
Authors: Markó András , Dulai Alfréd , Dobosi Viola 
Published: November 2018

During the excavations of the Upper Palaeolithic site at Mogyorósbánya several non-utilitarian artefacts were found. Beside the earlier published piece of fossil resin (amber) and lumps of red ochre, more than one hundred Palaeogene and Neogene fossil molluscs, large foraminifers, corals and trace fossils from at least three different geological formations, as well as numerous fragments of phyllite were documented.
Pebbles of this soft shale were most probably collected from the alluvium of the Danube river. The majority of the pieces show clear traces of scraping and along the periphery of the largest artefact rhythmic incisions are visible. Even if this piece is not a ready-made object, it can be compared to the limestone and sandstone pebbles found on the Epigravettian site of Pilismarót-Pálrét. Another interesting artefact of unknown function is a carefully shaped but strongly fragmented piece with sharp edge.
Fossils of the Eocene Epoch were easily accessible in the region of Mogyorósbánya, while the nearest fossiliferous outcrops of the Oligocene and Pannonian sediments are found 15–17 km in south-eastern direction from the site.
Few gastropod shells show unambiguous traces of human modification. Typically, among the 16 Melanopsis fossils found in a single square meter only three pieces were manufactured. On the other hand, the majority of the Dentalium and worm tube fragments were cut and their surfaces show intense rounding and shine.
The not modified Nummulites, corals and large internal casts of gastropods were most probably collected by Prehistoric humans because of their unusual form. This interesting group of the Mogyorósbánya artefacts and are compared to the fossils published from the Pilisszántó I rockshelter and to the not modified fossils from Moravia and Romania.
Before the neolithization: Causes of mesolithic diversity in the Southern Balkans
Authors: Kaczanowska Małgorzata , Kozłowski Janusz K. 
Published: November 2018

The Balkans, particularly southern and central, were sparsely populated in the Mesolithic and the occupation networks in that period were discontinous and highly diversified, contrasting with the density and homogeneity of the Early Neolithic. The aim of this paper is to describe the environmental conditions of the Mesolithic sites in relation to Early Holocene climatic fluctuations and to discuss the causes of specificity and diversity of culture and behaviour at this period.
Some general trends are observable in the adaptation to Early Holocene environments (trends in faunal exploitation; for ex. shift from high ranked large game to low ranked small animals) but also particular adaptations to local conditions (technological changes due to difficulties in access to better quality lithic raw materials, adaptations to coastal or to terrestrial resources reflecting the unique features of site use, etc).
The diversity of the Mesolithic is also reflected in cultural taxonomy: in some sequences continuity of the Balkan Epigravettian techno-morphological tradition can be seen as opposed, in other sequences, to highly isolated groups with technology and tool morphology adapted to local raw materials and specific activities. The Balkan Mesolithic was not completely cut-off from the Western Mediterranean techno-morphological influences (particularly in Southern Greece) and from the Anatolian lithic traditions (seen only in the Northern Aegean). A more intensive network of marine contacts is confirmed by obsidian circulation in the Aegean Basin.
Maputo: Ethnography of a Divided City
Authors: Tvedten Inge , Ribeiro Fábio , Graça João , Bertelsen Bjørn Enge 
Published: November 2018

Rapid urbanisation is one of the most dramatic developments on the African continent, often yielding contrasting and shocking images of affluent businesses and residential districts alongside sprawling shantytowns or slums. Urban areas account for an increasing part of the continent’s positive macro-economic development and represent opportunities for employment, education, health, leisure and well-being. However, urban growth is also manifested in emerging conditions of inequality and poverty, rising environmental problems, situations of political instability and riots, as well as persistent high levels of urban crime and violence.
This film project seeks to visualise Maputo: one of Africa’s divided cities. It is part of the research project “The Ethnography of a Divided City. Socio-Politics, Poverty and Gender in Maputo, Mozambique” headed by the Chr. Michelsen Institute and funded by the Norwegian Research Council. While the film relates actively to the research project, it approaches the project’s themes from new and original angles and ANIMA has had full artistic freedom in its filmic approach. A focus on the people inhabiting the city’s so-called bairros (districts/areas) provides a privileged view of the way in which symbolic and material boundaries of various urban spaces are contested, negotiated and, ultimately, inscribed onto mental maps of the city.

Pharmacoeconomic analysis of using belimumab for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus
Authors: Tolkushin A. G. , Pogudina N. L. 
Published: November 2018

The aim is to study the clinical and economic aspects of using belimumab for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLe) in patients with high SLe activity, the presence of anti-DNA, a low level of complement in the blood plasma and minimal lupus organ damage at the early stage.Materials and methods. The Markov model of SLe is used. The initial probabilities of the Markov transitions are obtained from analysis of published clinical and observational studies. The prices of the relevant drugs were obtained from the VeD price registry. Medical and nonmedical expenses are calculated on the basis of the current standards for financial costs and coefficients, as well as payments for temporary and permanent disability. Indirect costs are calculated using the method of human capital.Results. It has been found that using belimumab leads to a decrease in costs (both direct and indirect), as well as an increase in patient survival. The total costs for belimumab vs standard therapy approximated 8.84 million rubles vs 17.72 million rubles (of which 4.05 million rubles vs 5.58 million rubles were direct costs, and 2.57 million rubles vs 2.88 million rubles were indirect medical costs) on average per patient in the belimumab group vs standard therapy group, respectively.Conclusion. The use of belimumab in the target population of patients is pharmacoeconomically justified and expedient because it leads to increased treatment efficiency and reduction of direct and indirect costs.
THE AVAILABILITY OF INTERPRETATION MEDIA AND TOURISTS’ SATISFACTION WITH MOVIE INDUCED TOURISM IN KENYA
Authors: Justus Muchiri Murithi , Kieti Damiannah M. , Nthiga Rita W. 
Published: November 2018

Purpose: This paper is anchored on the findings of a study that sought to assess the availability of interpretation media in movie induced tourism and its effect on tourists’ satisfaction in Kenya.
Methodology: The study adopted explanatory and descriptive research designs. The study targeted 1,318 tourists from Karen Blixen Museum where the movie “Out of Africa” was filmed and Samburu County where the movie “The White Maasai” was filmed. In addition, a total of 658 bloggers airing their views on the filming locations were targeted. Simple random sampling and convenience sampling techniques were used to sample 345tourists and 221 bloggers, respectively. Structured closed-ended questionnaires were employed in collecting data.
Main Findings: Findings from regression model showed that interpretation services had a positive and significant effect on tourists satisfaction (β = 0.647, p< 0.000).Based on the study findings and subsequent discussions, this paper concludes that the availability of interpretation media is effective in enhancing tourists’ understanding and appreciation of the destination being visited. Specifically, availability of guards in Karen Blixen Museum and Samburu and other interpretation media enhanced tourist experience and a majority were satisfied.
Implications: The findings can be used to improve practice by encouraging tour guides to have a clear knowledge of a destination to be able to guide tourist and facilitate the offering of quality products. It is therefore important to have interpretation services since they contribute to tourist satisfaction.
Novelty: The study contributes to the creation of additional knowledge to the field of movie-induced tourism thus enhancing the understanding of the nature and characteristics of movie-induced tourism.
3D Scattering Imaging of Multiscale Geological Media on the Base of Revised Version of Exploding Reflectors
Authors: Landa Evgeny , Reshetova Galina , Tcheverda Vladimir 
Published: November 2018

Computation of Common Middle Point seismic sections and their subsequent time migration and diffraction imaging provides very important knowledge about the internal structure of 3D heterogeneous geological media and are key elements for successive geological interpretation. Full-scale numerical simulation, that computes all single shot seismograms, provides a full understanding of how the features of the image reflect the properties of the subsurface prototype. Unfortunately, this kind of simulations of 3D seismic surveys for realistic geological media needs huge computer resources, especially for simulation of seismic waves’ propagation through multiscale media like cavernous fractured reservoirs. In order to significantly reduce the query of computer resources we propose to model these 3D seismic cubes directly rather than the shot-by-shot simulation with subsequent CMP stacking. To do that we modify the well known &quot;exploding reflectors principle&quot; for 3D heterogeneous multiscale media by use of the finite-difference technique on the base of grids locally refined in time and space. To be able to simulate realistic models and acquisition we develop scalable parallel software, which needs reasonable computational costs.
Numerical results for simulation of Common Middle Points sections and their time migration are presented and discussed.

Authors: Sönmez Adem Yavuz , Kale Semih 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe main purpose of this study was to estimate possible climate change effects on the annual streamflow of Filyos River (Turkey). Data for annual streamflow and climatic parameters were obtained from streamflow gauging stations on the river and Bartın, Karabük, Zonguldak meteorological observation stations. Time series analysis was performed on 46 years of annual streamflow data and 57 years of annual mean climatic data from three monitoring stations to understand the trends. Pettitt change-point analysis was applied to determine the change time and trend analysis was performed to forecast trends. To reveal the relationship between climatic parameters and streamflow, correlation tests, namely, Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau were applied. The results of Pettitt change-point analysis pointed to 2000 as the change year for streamflow. Change years for temperature and precipitation were detected as 1997 and 2000, respectively. Trend analysis results indicated decreasing trends in the streamflow and precipitation, and increasing trend in temperature. These changes were found statistically significant for streamflow (p &lt; 0.05) and temperature (p &lt; 0.01). Also, a statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05) correlation was found between streamflow and precipitation. In conclusion, decreasing precipitation and increasing temperature as a result of climate change initiated a decrease in the river streamflow.

Published: November 2018

AbstractNumerical simulations were carried out with HYDRUS-2D to investigate the influence of soil texture, initial water content, film hole diameter and water depth on cumulative infiltration from a film hole. Soil texture, film hole diameter and water depth are the dominant influencing factors. Philip infiltration model was used to fit the simulated results of the dominant influencing factors. For the same soil, the sorptivity (s) is a power function relationship with film hole diameter, while the steady infiltration rate (a) is a power function relationship with film hole diameter and water depth. On that basis, the calculation formulas for predicting s and a were established, and a simplified film hole infiltration model including the film hole diameter and water depth was proposed. The effectiveness of the model was verified by laboratory experiments and literature data. The predicted values of the model were in good agreement with the experimental observations. The model parameters can be determined only by a set of film hole infiltration experiment, which simplifies the experimental design and can be used as a tool for irrigation engineers or farmers to estimate cumulative infiltration.
Determination of iodine in geothermal water samples – preliminary ICP-MS method validation results
Authors: Mika A. , Wątor K. , Kmiecik E. , Sekuła K. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Iodine is a microelement which occurs in natural water in different concentrations dependent on water type, origin and total dissolved solids concentration. The objects of research were natural geothermal water. In this paper, the fitness of the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for iodine determination in water with higher temperatures was tested and selected methodological problems were discussed. Basic method parameters (precision, accuracy, linearity, uncertainty) were determined. Calculated statistical parameters of the validated method fulfil the assumed criteria. The received results (correlation coefficient equal to 0.999) show that the linearity of the ICP-MS method is good. The accuracy was expressed as recovery (R) and according to the literature is at an acceptable level. The results of precision assessments (RSD) also correspond to the literature data.

Published: November 2018

La lima acida Tahití [Citrus latifolia (Yu Tanaka) Tanaka] es una de las especies de cítricos con potencial de producción para consumo interno y exportación en los llanos Orientales de Colombia. Con el propósito de evaluar los efectos del uso de yeso agrícola sobre las propiedades químicas, absorción de nutrientes y producción de frutos de lima Tahití, se realizó un experimento en un suelo Oxisol de terraza alta del Piedemonte Llanero. Los tratamientos consistieron de cinco niveles de yeso (0,5 - 1,0 - 1,5 - 2,0 y 2,5 t ha-1). Se utilizó un diseño de BCA con 4 repeticiones. La producción de fruto fue evaluada durante cinco años consecutivos y al sexto año se realizó el análisis químico del suelo y análisis foliar. Se encontró un efecto positivo sobre el aumento en el contenido y la distribución de Ca, Mg, y S en el perfil del suelo, disminución de la acidez intercambiable y aumento del pH con las aplicaciones crecientes de yeso agrícola. Las aplicaciones de yeso aumentaron la absorción de Ca y S y redujeron los niveles foliares de N, K, Mg y Zn, sin alterar la productividad del cultivo. La mayor producción acumulada de frutos (141,41 t ha-1) fue obtenido con la aplicación de 2,5 t ha-1 de yeso. Se demostró los efectos positivos del yeso agrícola en la distribución de bases en el suelo, en la reducción de la acidez y el incremento de pH en profundidad, mejorando la productividad de lima Tahití.

Los sistemas de monocultivo degradan el suelo afectando sus propiedades físicas y químicas, y su regeneración es muy lenta. Con el objetivo de conocer cambios en las propiedades físicas del suelo de la Estación Experimental Tropical Pichilingue, por efecto del uso, se empleó un diseño de bloques completos al azar con tres repeticiones, en los suelos de bosque nativo y monocultivos de maíz (30 años), cacao (50 años), pasto (4 años) y palma aceitera (26 años) en diferentes profundidades cada 0,10 m hasta los 0,6 m. Se evaluaron propiedades físicas como conductividad hidráulica, densidad aparente, densidad real, porosidad total, porosidad de aireación, humedad volumétrica, textura, arcilla dispersa en agua, grado de floculación, materia orgánica e índice de materia orgánica/limo+arcilla. Los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente y se realizó la prueba de Tuckey (P≤0,05). Se encontró que maíz, palma aceitera y pasto provocaron incrementos estadísticos significativos en la densidad aparente del suelo sin llegar a sobrepasar los niveles críticos de 1390 kg m-3 y no significativos en reducción de la porosidad total en la profundidad de 0,1-0,2 m. También, hubo alta concentración de arcillas en las primeras profundidades de los suelos cultivados, que provocó susceptibilidad a los procesos de erosión hídrica, concluyendo que el suelo bajo cultivo de palma aceitera mostró mayores diferencias estadísticas debido a la textura, afectando negativamente la densidad aparente del suelo, conductividad hidráulica, arcilla dispersa en agua, que en suma contribuyen a disminuir la estabilidad de agregados.
