Authors: Chadi Nicholas , Weisbaum Elli , Malboeuf-Hurtubise Catherine , Kohut Sara Ahola , Viner Christine , Palaniyar Nades , Kaufman Miriam , Locke Jake , Vo Dzung X. 
Published: October 2018

Background:
Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) can improve mental health
and well-being in adolescents with chronic illnesses. However, there are many barriers such
as reduced mobility and distance which compromise accessibility to MBIs.

Objective:
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the Mindful
Awareness and Resilience Skills for Adolescents (MARS-A) program in youth with chronic
illnesses delivered in person or via eHealth.

Method:
In this mixed method randomized controlled trial, participants received weekly 90-
minute long MARS-A sessions for 8 weeks, either in person or via a secure eHealth audiovisual
platform allowing group interactions in real time. Data was collected at baseline,
immediately after and two months post-MBI through saliva analyses, electronic participant
logs and validated questionnaires assessing mindfulness skills and mental health outcomes.

Results:
Seven participants per group completed the intervention (total n=14, completion
rate 77.8%). Paired t-test analyses revealed a significant reduction in depression/anxiety
scores immediately post-intervention (p=0.048, Cohen’s d=0.934) and a significant reduction
in pre-post mindfulness cortisol levels at week 8 (p=0.022, Cohen’s d=0.534) in the eHealth
group. Frequency and duration of weekly individual home practice (eHealth: 6.5 times; 28.8
minutes; in-person: 6.0 times; 30.6 minutes) were similar in both groups and maintained at
follow-up.

Conclusion:
This is the first study comparing in-person and eHealth delivery of an 8-week
MBI for adolescents with chronic illnesses. Although the study was limited by the small size
of the sample, our results suggest that eHealth delivery of MBIs may represent a promising
avenue for increasing availability in this population.

Authors: Virk Jaswinder Kaur , Gupta Vikas , Maithani Mukesh , Rawal Ravindra K. , Kumar Sanjiv , Singh Ranjit , Bansal Parveen 
Published: October 2018

Background:
Vriddhi is one of the Rasayana herbs in Ayurveda broadly used in
vitality, strengthening Ayurvedic formulations. To fulfill steeply increased demand and declined
supply, tubers have been collected in destructive manner resulting in reduced plant
population and pushing the plant in Red list of IUCN endangered species. However, manufacturers
are using substitutes and other substandard drugs leading to adulteration which puts the
importance of therapeutically rich herbal plants at stake. Lack of chemical markers is the main
inability of regulatory authorities for not taking any action against this adulteration.

Objective:
Isolation of chemical marker of plant that can be used as a reference compound
for identification of unauthorized substitution.

Methods:
Preliminary phytochemical screening of methanolic and toluene extract of H. intermedia
D. Don was done using standard methods followed by column chromatography for
the isolation of phytoconstituents. A total of 3004 fractions were collected with Thin Layer
Chromatography (TLC) profiling and different fractions were pooled. A single compound
was isolated and confirmed by chemical test, melting point, spectral analysis and compared
with the literature.

Results:
Phytochemical screening of extracts shows the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates,
steroids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins and phenolics. A pure white crystalline powder
was isolated by column chromatography which was characterized as 3,5-dimethoxy-4-
hydroxycinnamic acid (Sinapic acid) with the help of IR and Mass spectroscopy.

Conclusion:
This is the first report of Sinapic acid as a novel compound from Vriddhi,
Habenaria genus and Orchidaceae family. It can be used as a marker for the identification of
unauthorized substitution and adulteration claiming the use of Vriddhi.

Why Manga Matters after Fukushima
Authors: Abe Yasuhito 
Published: October 2018

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011 has created an alternative space for reportage and journalism. While much research has investigated how mainstream news media reported the Fukushima disaster in Japan and elsewhere, virtually absent is a scholarly investigation of the role of new media artworks in shaping what it means to be the Fukushima nuclear crisis. This study thus focuses on the role of Japanese manga among various new media artworks, and investigates how the disaster was represented in comics form.
Among various Japanese manga on the Fukushima disaster, this paper focuses on examining a Japanese manga titled as Ichi Efu: Fukushima Daiichi genshiryoku hatsudensho rōdōki or 1F: A cleanup worker’s account of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (thereafter, 1F) written by Kazuto Tatsuta, one of the Japanese cleanup workers at the wrecked power plant. Originally published in Morning, a Japanese weekly manga magazine in 2013, 1F illuminates what the consequences of the Fukushima disaster looked like from the perspectives of a cleanup worker, providing an uncommon view of Fukushima for a wide variety of audiences including comic fans in Japan and elsewhere.

Mímesis e enigma: sobre Infância em Berlim por volta de 1900
Authors: Lavelle Patricia 
Published: October 2018

Os textos especulativos sobre a faculdade mimética constituem esboçospreparatórios para o projeto de Infância em Berlim por volta de 1900, e em particular para o primeiro capítulo de sua primeira versão datilografada (1932-1933), intitulado Mummerehlen. A problemática das “semelhanças não sensíveis” atravessa o texto, que pode ser compreendido como uma tentativa de domínio de seu poder mágico de tornar presente, isto é, como um exercicio de colocar à distância as forças míticas da imagem. Pois, deixando entrever o horizonte teórico implicado nas semelhanças artisticamente produzidas, Benjamin explicita e deforma o quadro mimético da representação, explicitando o valor cognitivo da obra. A modernidade destas memórias de infância está justamente em tematizar essa tensão entre poesia e teoria sobre a qual se constitui sua estrutura enigmática.

Daniel Senise: pintura como abrigo da imagem
Authors: Name Daniela 
Published: October 2018

Daniel Senise é um dos mais emblemáticos pintores da chamada“Geração 80” no Brasil. A partir da obra de Senise, este ensaio procura entender a arte egressa dos 1980 não apenas como a “volta da pintura” — o retorno conservador a um tipo de linguagem ou suporte —, e sim como o reestabelecimento de uma relação mais íntima com a imagem. O artista recorre a figuras de mães, mulheres e construções arquitetônicas para enfatizar a criação de um abrigo para as imagens da história da arte ou de elementos cotidianos, cuja escolha é orientada pela memória e pelo afeto. Com apagamentos e ausências, sua obra evidencia o encerramento e o reinício de ciclos para essas imagens.

Published: October 2018

A multiplicidade de comportamentos que são próprias dos seres humanos, quando avaliadas nos contextos organizacionais, oferece a oportunidade de observar como as relações dos grupos geracionais são estabelecidas e a sua percepção sobre o emprego. Em um processo natural de evolução, o comportamento das pessoas se modifica e, consequentemente, as empresas precisam atender tanto as demandas de mercado como as de seus profissionais, com visões e valores diferenciados entre as gerações. Considerando este cenário, a pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar a percepção dos estudantes de um centro universitário pertencentes à Geração Y sobre o emprego ideal. A metodologia utilizada foi um survey aplicado aos estudantes universitários de um Centro Universitário do município de Guarulhos. O instrumento teve origem em Berthon et al. (2005), com 25 itens classificados em cinco dimensões: rotina de trabalho, interação pessoal, benefícios econômicos, desenvolvimento profissional e responsabilidade social. A escala apresentou-se em formato tipo Likert de sete pontos, variando de 1: discordo totalmente a 7: concordo totalmente. Os resultados apontam que os profissionais da Geração Y gostam de trabalhar em empresas que aplicam novas práticas de trabalho e consideram importante o bom relacionamento com a chefia e colegas.

Extending the Applicability of the Super-Halley-Like Method Using ω-Continuous Derivatives and Restricted Convergence Domains
Authors: Argyros Ioannis K. , George Santhosh 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
We present a local convergence analysis of the super-Halley-like method in order to approximate a locally unique solution of an equation in a Banach space setting. The convergence analysis in earlier studies was based on hypotheses reaching up to the third derivative of the operator. In the present study we expand the applicability of the super-Halley-like method by using hypotheses up to the second derivative. We also provide: a computable error on the distances involved and a uniqueness result based on Lipschitz constants. Numerical examples are also presented in this study.

Abstract
The UGT1A1 enzyme is involved in the metabolism of bilirubin and numerous medications. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, commonly presented as Gilbert syndrome (GS), is a result of decreased activity of the UGT1A1 enzyme, variable number of TA repeats in the promoter of the UGT1A1 gene affects enzyme activity. Seven and eight TA repeats cause a decrease of UGT1A1 activity and risk GS alleles, while six TA repeats contribute to normal UGT1A1 activity and non-risk GS allele. Also, the UGT1A1 (TA)n promoter genotype is recognized as a clinically relevant pharmacogenetic marker. The aim of this study was to assess diagnostic value of UGT1A1 (TA)n promoter genotyping in pediatric GS patients. Correlation of the UGT1A1 (TA)n genotypes and level of unconjugated bilirubin at diagnosis and after hypocaloric and phenobarbitone tests in these patients was analyzed. Another aim of the study was to assess pharmacogenetic potential of UGT1A1 (TA)n variants in Serbia. Fifty-one pediatric GS patients and 100 healthy individuals were genotyped using different methodologies, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by acrylamide electrophoresis, fragment length analysis and/or DNA sequencing. Concordance of the UGT1A1 (TA)n promoter risk GS genotypes with GS was found in 80.0% of patients. Therefore, UGT1A1 (TA)n promoter genotyping is not a reliable genetic test for GS, but it is useful for differential diagnosis of diseases associated with hyperbilirubinemia. Level of bilirubin in pediatric GS patients at diagnosis was UGT1A1 (TA)n promoter genotype-dependent. We found that the frequency of pharmacogenetic relevant UGT1A1 (TA)n promoter genotypes was 63.0%, pointing out that UGT1A1 (TA)n promoter genotyping could be recommended for preemptive pharmacogenetic testing in Serbia.

This study tends to address attitudinal behavior of road users towards road ethics in Ilorin metropolis-Nigeria; covering both driver and motorcyclists and perception of motorists on road traffic enforcement agent. Questionnaire was employed as survey tools. Ordered logistic model were used to analyse the data on attitude of motorists and road traffic laws enforcement agents. About 87% of the 440 administered questionnaire were returned valid. A 3-model analysis was carried out and the findings showed that the attitude of the motorists, road traffic law enforcement agents and demographical index (gender, age and education) correlated with, and influence compliance with road traffic laws.
The study of flow type dynamics at pedon scale via morphometric parameter analysis of dye-pattern profiles
Authors: Bebej Juraj , Orfánus Tomáš , Homolák Marián , Ben-Hur Meni , Pichler Viliam , Capuliak Jozef 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The application of Brilliant Blue FCF tracer enables to identify flow types in multi-domain porous systems of soils via analyses of morphologic parameters of stained objects occurring in dye pattern profiles, as they represent the footprint of flow processes which occurred in soil during both the infiltration and the redistribution of dye solution. We analysed the vertical dye pattern profiles exposed for different time lengths, and revealed temporal evolution of dye solution redistribution leading to changes in flow types. The field experiment was performed with the Brilliant Blue tracer (the 10 g l−1 concentration) applied on 1m x 1m surface of the Dystric Cambisol. The top litter horizon had been removed before 100 l of the tracer was applied. Four vertical profiles were excavated on the experimental plot (always 20 cm apart) at different times after the irrigation had been finished: 2 hours (CUT 2), 24 hours (CUT 24), 27 hours (CUT 27) and 504 hours (CUT 504). The analyses of the dyed patterns profiles showed the spatio-temporal changes in the dye coverage, surface area density, average BB concentration, and stained path width, which allowed us to specify three stages of dye solution redistribution history: (i) a stage of preferential macropore flow, (ii) a stage of strong interaction between macropore-domain and soil matrix leading to the generation of heterogeneous matrix flow and fingering flow types, and (iii) a final stage of dye redistribution within the soil body connected with leaching of BB caused by meteoric water. With increasing time, the macropore flow types convert to mostly matrix-dominated FTs in the upper part of the soil profile. These results were supported by soil hydrological modelling, which implied that more than 70% of the soil moisture profiles variability among CUT 2–CUT 504 could be explained by the time factor.

Published: October 2018

Abstract

Objective: Design a decision-making model for the development of new products in the fishing cooperative societies of the community Las Arenitas, Eldorado, Sinaloa.

Methodology: In accordance with the methodology used, it was classified as qualitative. A case study was carried out in the „Jose Luis Castro Verduzco” fishing cooperative located in Sinaloa, Mexico, where a series of open questions were applied to obtain the opinion of the manager and secretary about the decision making process.

Findings: The lack of clarity in the role of the actors in the decision-making process and their specific steps when developing new products was identified. Knowledge about the use of tools is limited, mainly due to the low levels of preparation of managers and members of the cooperative, as well as the lack of knowledge of the processes for the development of new products.

Value Added: The study allowed identifying the need for design a method that guides the manager and members of the fishing cooperative in the community of Las Arenitas Eldorado, Sinaloa, towards activities that generate added value in primary products and reduce uncertainty in the decision-making process for the development of new products caused by changes in the needs of the consumer market.

Value Added: The study allowed identifying the need for design a method that guides the manager and members of the fishing cooperative in the community of Las Arenitas Eldorado, Sinaloa, towards activities that generate added value in primary products and reduce uncertainty in the decision-making process for the development of new products caused by changes in the needs of the consumer market.

Recommendations: The use of a decision-making process is of vital importance for the administration since it contributes to assess, analyze and control situations to choose the best option for the company. Within this project the fishing cooperative has a lot of growth potential, for this reason the implementation of methods such as: The ordered weighted averaging operators OWA or multicriteria analysis for decision making in the development of new products.
Cross-cultural Communication and Language Perspective: Moving from Localization to Glocalization
Authors: Moonesar Immanuel Azaad , Thibaud Lionel 
Published: October 2018

Abstract

Objective: This is a case study on how a French firm went from Localization to Glocalization from a cross-cultural communication and language perspective.

Methodology: The method used was a case study approach. Lionel Thibaud, the General Manager, Impression et Enregistrement des Résultats (IER) (a French firm) based on the Middle East thought about achievements and challenges faced by the company within the Middle East region over the period of 2007–2013 in relation to various cross-cultural and multi-national issues.

Findings: The problem faced by the decision-makers in this region was how to do business with the different Middle Eastern countries while handling and striking a balance with all varying cultures and customs. In addition, to meet the needs of the customers, a key strategic mission was to establish long-term relationships and collaborations with suppliers and customers. This ‘way of doing business’ was made all the more difficult as the Middle Eastern culture was perceived similar from the outside.

Value Added: Culture in Middle East was a good way to create discussions and healthy debate to understand how to do business in the Middle East and gain a competitive advantage through the relationships that IER developed through trust from the customers. IER Middle East continued to strive successfully on how to do business within the Middle Eastern region in handling and striking a balance with all varying cultures and customs. In addition, to meet the needs of the customers, IER had a long-term mission to establish long-term relationships and collaborations within the Middle East region.

Recommendations: IER Middle East was to continue being the preferred vendor of airlines and airports while providing innovative ideas and solution as well as to continue to offer outstanding customer support.
