Zur hethitischen Schreibung und Latung
Authors: Čop Bojan 
Published: December 2018

Die oben veröffentlichten ersten drei Kapite1 '(A-C)*' baben deutlich gezeigt, dass die indogermanischen Unterschiede zwischen Tenues und Mediae, mit gewisser Einschränkung auch die zwischen Tenues und Mediae, aspiratae, in der hethitischen keilschriftlichem Orthographie klar zum Ausdruck kommen und so das Fortsetzen der indogermanischen phonologischen Oppositionen im Gebiet der Verschlusslaute noch in der historischen Zeit mit voller Sicherheit bezeugt wird. Es gilt nun sich nach den Verhältnissen bei den übrigen Konsonanten in inter intervokalischer Stellung umzusehen, um aus dem Vergleich des Verhaltens beider Gruppen nützliche Schlüsse über Gründe und Grenzen der in Frage stehenden Erscheinungen zu ziehen.
Remarques sur le style indirect libre en ancien Français

On sait que, pour rapporter les paroles ou les pensées de ses personnages, l'auteur peut se servir de deux procédés littéraires: l' du style direct (oratio recta), dans lequel les paroles (les pensées) d'une personne, introduites d'ordinaire par un verbe exprimant la parole ou la pensée, sont rapportés avec pleine exactitude, p. ex.: II revint payer sa note et partit comme un valeur. II se dit: «Maisy rapportera ma veste et j'envermi ma secrétaire la prendre chez elle avec des fleurs.))
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON TESTING MILK SAMPLES FOR ANTIBIOTICS1
Authors: Hibbs R. A. , Boyd J. C. 
Published: December 2018

When the Difco Bioassay Kit using whey agar and B. subtilis is used for the detection of growth inhibiting substances in milk for cheese manufacture, it is seldom that any antibiotic other than penicillin will be detected even though their concentrations will prevent the growth of the starter culture in the cheese milk.
Before being analyzed for growth inhibiting substances milk samples can be frozen and stored for at least 12 weeks without reducing the accuracy of the results.

Introduction: The present descriptive analysis carried out by a pan-Canadian panel of expert healthcare practitioners (HCPs) summarizes best practices for erectile rehabilitation following prostate cancer (PCa) treatment. This algorithm was designed to support an online sexual health and rehabilitation e-clinic (SHARe-Clinic), which provides biomedical guidance and supportive care to Canadian men recovering from PCa treatment. The implications of the algorithm may be used inform clinical practice in community settings.
Methods: Men's sexual health experts convened for the TrueNTH Sexual Health and Rehabilitation Initiative Consensus Meeting to address concerns regarding erectile dysfunction (ED) therapy and management following treatment for PCa. The meeting brought together experts from across Canada for a discussion of current practices, latest evidence-based literature review, and patient interviews.
Results: An algorithm for ED treatment following PCa treatment is presented that accounts for treatment received (surgery or radiation), degree of nerve-sparing, and level of pro-erectile treatment invasiveness based on patient and partner values. This algorithm provides an approach from both a biomedical and psychosocial focus that is tailored to the patient/partner presentation. Regular sexual activity is recommended, and the importance of partner involvement in the treatment decision-making process is highlighted, including the management of partner sexual concerns.
Conclusions: The algorithm proposed by expert consensus considers important factors like the type of PCa treatment, the timeline of erectile recovery, and patient values, with the goal of becoming a nationwide standard for erectile rehabilitation following PCa treatment.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Background: The use of HPTLC fingerprinting for the analysis of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) usually involves several image-processing steps. However, these image-processing steps are time consuming. Objective: We describe a new approach that applies artificial neural networks (ANN) directly to raw high-performance thin-layer chromatography HPTLC images. Methods: This approach combines image processing and chemometric modeling and was used to classify TCMs [dried tangerine eel (Chen Pi), green tangerine peel (Qing Pi), immature bitter orange fruit, and bitter orange fruit (Zhi Qiao)]. Images of the plates were processed with Chempattern and chemometric analysis including PCA, PLS-DA, and kNN were carried out all by ChemPattern. Results: The ANN model has an accuracy of 100.00% in all training, validation, and test sets, indicating excellent predictive performance and good generalization ability. The k-nearest neighbors (kNN) and partial least-square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models have accuracies of 90.91 and 72.73%, respectively, with the independent test set. The kNN model is also accurate, simple, and can be easily interpreted. Conclusions: HPTLC fingerprinting, combined with advanced image processing and proper chemometric algorithms, is a simple, efficient, and accurate method for the analysis of TCMs. Highlights: HPTLC fingerprints of four TCM crude drugs derived from Citrus spp. were compared by using image analysis algorithms. A new approach that applied ANN directly to raw HPTLC fingerprint images was described. Three image analysis algorithms based on kNN, PLS-DA and ANN are compared in the paper. The ANN model shows excellent predictive performance with high accuracy in test sets.
„Jsem jiný, jsem slaný… a umřu dříve“ (dítě/žák s cystickou fibrózou v edukačním prostředí)
Authors: Chrastina Jan , Klvaňová Tereza , Hudcová Bianka 
Published: December 2018

V současném pojetí společného vzdělávání může učitel vykonávat přímou pedagogickou činnost v diverzní společnosti „různých“ žáků. Mezi nimi mohou být rovněž žáci a žákyně s cystickou fibrózou (CF). Jde o nevyléčitelné, progredující a smrtelné onemocnění, které svým nositelům přináší četné zásahy a limitace v každodenních aktivitách, včetně školských. Cílem přehledové studie je analyzovat, popsat a interpretovat vybrané oblasti života dětí, žáků/žákyní a studentů/studentek s tímto onemocněním, které mohou zakládat „jinakost/odlišnost“ v edukačním procesu a prostředí. Metodický rámec byl naplněn analytickou, syntetickou a interpretační činností v podobě monografické procedury založené na rešeršní činnosti zahraničních odborných článků a studií v dostupných databázích. Mezi tematické oblasti, které mohou u osob s CF zakládat „jinakost/odlišnost“, byla zařazena témata symptomatologie CF, přístupu okolí (stigma/stigmatizace, viktimizace, postoje okolí apod.), dále subjektivity stavu (prožívání, osobní zkušenosti, strach ze smrti, strach z progrese onemocnění, úzkost, naděje, deprese, resilience, self-efficacy), oblast žáky s CF „vyžadované“ podpory (psychologické, psychosociální, emoční, vztahové, rodičovské apod.) a rovněž specifika výchovně-vzdělávacího procesu. „Jinakost/odlišnost“ popisovaná v rámci CF spočívá ve specifických potřebách žáků, které vyplývají z případných změn zdravotního stavu a postojů jejich okolí. Současný stav vzdělávání v našich podmínkách, který respektuje požadavek společného vzdělávání, by měl případné „jinakosti/odlišnosti“ a rozdílnosti „stírat“, a to primárně efektivní pregraduální přípravou učitelů a kontinuálním vzděláváním v této oblasti.
Trump and the Coming Revolution in Higher Education Internationalization
Authors: Altbach Philip G. , De Wit Hans 
Published: December 2018

The advent of the Trump Administration in the US along with Brexit in the UK and other changes in Europe will bring a major set of changes to internationalization. The US and the UK will be seen as less attractive for international students. It is likely that the immigration and visa restrictions will grow. Governmental support for programs such as Fulbright and ERASMUS are likely to be cut back. Perhaps most important, the spirit of internationalization in higher education is likely to change.
Tajikistan: University Challenges and the Professoriate
Authors: Kataeva Zumrad 
Published: December 2018

Tajikistan's higher education sector has experienced significant challenges after the breakup of the Soviet Union followed by the civil war of 1992-1997. The situation and status of the professoriate throughout the Post-Soviet space has deteriorated, as salaries and professional development opportunities have spiraled downward. Liberalization of the economy and the promise of higher education access have led to a rise in the demand for higher education. Higher education institutions have had to hire lesser-prepared faculty as those more seasoned or talented among the professoriate left for the private sector or migrated abroad. Today, the compensation of faculty members in Tajikistan is not enough to cover living costs, forcing them to use a variety of strategies to survive. They work as translators, consultants, or private tutors. The Tajik higher education system needs to work on establishing policies and opportunities to better support the profession, especially if institutions of higher education are eager to compete in the growing global educational marketplace.
Admissions in Japanese National Universities: The Need for Change
Authors: Ishikura Yukiko , Kawashima Tatsuo 
Published: December 2018

Higher education institutions have undergone significant changes concerning college admissions. Leading countries for higher education, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as countries in Asia such as China, Korea, and Taiwan are making changes to their higher education systems. There is also a call for change in college admissions in Japan. Japanese universities, especially national universities, have heavily relied on test scores for student selection. However, universities are currently shifting theircollege admissions processes toward a holistic review approach. This involves making admission decisions by assessing not only academic achievements, but also students’ backgrounds, personal experience, and potential. This task was initiated by the government in response to the changing concepts of knowledge and fairness, as well as the perceived desirability of attracting students with diverse educational backgrounds. For higher education institutions both in Japan and abroad, college admission reforms become a necessary process. Japan, where the government has the most power for making decisions, offers other countriespriceless lessons about how top-down education/admission reforms are implemented or impeded.
The #MeToo Movement as a Global Learning Moment
Authors: Regulska Joanna 
Published: December 2018

This article places the #MeToo movement within the context of global learning. Given the global nature of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and violence against women, it asks what responsibilities we have as international educators. It raises numerous questions that can be utilized as teaching tools—and it proposes that institutions rethink internationalization strategies and seize this moment of opportunity to create aninclusive and diverse environment conducive to advancing intercultural and intracultural understanding.
Brexit and Universities: Toward a Reconfiguration of the European Higher Education Sector?
Authors: Courtois Aline 
Published: December 2018

The prospect of “Brexit” is causing significant anxiety across the European higher education sector, as universities brace themselves for a possible departure of the United Kingdom and a reconfiguration of the sector. Our research suggests that while the impact is expected to be uneven across the region—with some possible short-term beneficiaries—research cooperation with the United Kingdom and freedom of movement are valued by universities across the region.

Published: December 2018

The Philippines has recently introduced a subsidy for tuition fees to enable universal access to higher education. There has been a heated debate about the Act’s sustainability and its implications for equity. We examine these issues and argue that, despite concerns, this move is a strategic long-term investment for the country.
The "Champagne Tower" of Science Publishing
Authors: Siebert Sabina 
Published: December 2018

This article discusses the hierarchical nature of science publishing, whereby journals are organized in tiers with the most prestigious elite journals at the top (Cell, Nature, Science), and lowest-ranked journals at the bottom. When rejected from the top-tier journals, authors usually aim for a lower tier of journals, with some choosing smaller, specialist journals for the outlet of their work. Recently, however, a differentmechanism of cascading the papers down the hierarchy of journals has become popular, i.e., editors arrange to pass the rejected papers, with the authors’ permission, to their “sister journals” bearing the same brand. These transfer arrangements may be seen beneficial for the authors, as they reduce the publication time, but they also pose difficulties for smaller specialist journals that lose their shareof the market and experience a fall in manuscript submissions.

Kebutuhan Keluarga Saat Anak Dirawat di Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU): Sudut Pandang Keluarga dan Perawat
Authors: Apriyanti Efa , Adawiyah Robiyatul 
Published: December 2018

Studi literatur menyebutkan bahwa kebutuhan keluarga saat mendampingi anak dirawat di PICU sangatlah kompleks dan bersifat subjektif sehingga pengkajian kuesioner dirasa belum mampu mewakili gambaran kebutuhan keluarga yang sebenarnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan persepsi perawat PICU dengan keluarga pasien PICU mengenai prioritas kebutuhan keluarga dari anak yang dirawat di ruang rawat intensif. Penelitian ini meng-gunakan mixed method approach dengan pendekatan kuantitatif menggunakan desain cross sectional di tahap pertama pengumpulan data, dilanjutkan dengan pendekatan kualitatif yang dilakukan dengan cara wawancara mendalam di tahap ke dua. Data kuantitatif diperoleh dengan menggunakan Critical Care Family Need Inventory yang telah di-modifikasi. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan tidak adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara persepsi perawat dan keluarga dalam menilai kebutuhan keluarga pasien PICU. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa secara umum perawat PICU di dua rumah sakit yang menjadi sampel dalam penelitian ini lebih mampu memahami kebutuhan keluarga pasien dibandingkan dengan perawat dalam penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya. Kata Kunci: kebutuhan keluarga pasien PICU, mixed method, persepsi perawat Abstract Mutual understanding between nurses and patients’ family on family needs during their child’s stay in PICU. The literature review indicated that factors affecting parents’ needs in a PICU are interrelated and not easily, or appropriately, assessed by using an inventory. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the needs of parents whose child has been an in-patient in a PICU, not only from the parents, but also from the perspective of nurses. A mixed method approach has been employed in this study. Quantitative data has been collected by using modified version of Critical Care Family Need Inventory, while the qualitative data was gained through in-depth interview. The result of data analysis showed that there were no significant differences between the perception of the nurses and parents regarding the needs. The finding suggests that in general, PICU nurses in these two hospitals have better understanding about the parents' needs in comparation with most of nurses in the previous studies. Keywords: families’ needs in PICU, mixed method, nurses’ perception
Toenail Changes in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus with and Without Onychomycosis
Authors: Cunha Nélia , Galhardas Célia , Apetato Margarida , Lencastre André 
Published: December 2018

Background:Diabetes mellitus is a predisposing factor for onychomycosis (OM). A high frequency of nonfungal onychodystrophy (OD) is also alleged, although information on the prevalence of specific nail changes is scant. We evaluated the prevalence and types of nail changes in a cohort of diabetic patients with fungal and nonfungal OD.Methods:During a 6-month period, inpatients with diabetes mellitus were screened for foot and toenail changes. Demographic, social, and clinical data were recorded, as was information concerning foot and toenail care. Fungal infection was confirmed by mycologic examination and by histologic analysis of nail clippings.Results:Of the 82 patients included, 65 (79.3%) had nail changes, and 34 of these 65 patients (52.3%) were diagnosed as having OM. The most frequently observed nail signs were subungual hyperkeratosis, onycholysis, yellow discoloration, and splinter hemorrhages, each seen in more than 25% of the patients. Tinea pedis and superficial pseudoleukonychia were observed more frequently in the OM group (P &lt; .05). Conversely, prominent metatarsal heads and history of nail trauma were more frequent in patients with nonfungal OD (P &lt; .05).Conclusions:Physicians who care for diabetic patients should not ignore nail changes. Fungal and nonfungal OD are common and should be addressed in the global evaluation of the feet to help prevent breaks in the skin barrier and subsequent bacterial infections and ulcers.
Mesquite bugs, other insects, and a bat in the diet of pallid bats in southeastern Arizona
Authors: Czaplewski Nicholas J. , Menard Katrina L. , Peachey William D. 
Published: December 2018

The pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) is a species of western North America, inhabiting ecoregions ranging from desert to oak and pine forest. They are primarily insectivorous predators on large arthropods that occasionally take small vertebrate prey, and are at least seasonally omnivorous in certain parts of their geographic range where they take nectar from cactus flowers and eat cactus fruit pulp and seeds. Until recently, mesquite bugs were primarily tropical-subtropical inhabitants of Mexico and Central America but have since occupied the southwestern United States where mesquite trees occur. Using a noninvasive method, we investigated the bats’ diet at the Cienega Creek Natural Preserve, Arizona, by collecting food parts discarded beneath three night roosts in soil-piping cavities in a mesquite bosque. We also made phenological and behavioral observations of mesquite bugs,Thasus neocalifornicus, and their interactions with the mesquite trees. We determined that the bats discarded inedible parts of 36 species in 8 orders of mainly large-bodied and nocturnal insects below the night-roosts. In addition, one partial bat wing represents probable predation upon a phyllostomid bat,Choeronycteris mexicana. About 17 of the insect taxa are newly reported as prey for pallid bats, as is the batC. mexicana. The majority of culled insect parts (88%) were from adult mesquite bugs. Mesquite bug nymphs did not appear in the culled insect parts. After breeding in late summer, when nighttime low temperatures dropped below 21 °C, the adult bugs became immobile on the periphery of trees where they probably make easy prey for opportunistic foliage-gleaning pallid bats. Proximity of night-roosts to mesquite bug habitat probably also enhances the bats’ exploitation of these insects in this location.
The role of the native language in auditory and visual context effect modalities
Authors: Goldstein‐Diament Sari , Vakil Eli 
Published: December 2018

SummaryFacilitation of memory for target stimuli due to similar context in the learning and testing phases is known as “context effect” (CE). The present study aimed to investigate the interaction between CE as elicited by the consistency of the language of presentation (Hebrew vs. English) with the native language (Hebrew vs. English) in both auditory and visual modalities. Overall, 120 individuals participated in the experiment. As predicted, CE was evident when the language of presentation remained consistent between study and test. Contrary to our prediction, Hebrew speakers remembered more English words, and vice versa. A possible explanation is that this difference is due to the cognitive effort invested when processing a less dominant language, thus resulting in better recognition. This study has several practical implications, including a recommendation that academic institutions test students in the language in which the material was presented in order to measure the students' knowledge more accurately.
