Background:Owing to the importance of metallic nanoparticles, different researches and studies have been induced to synthesize them in many ways. One of the ways that paid attention last years is the green synthesis methods of nanoparticles or the so-called ''eco-friendly methods''. The most common sources that has been used for green synthesis of nanoparticles are plants, leaves, fungi and microorganisms. The green synthesis methods are widely used because they are inexpensive, usable, and nontoxic. Moreover, plant extracts are rich in reducing and capping agents.Methods:In the present review, green synthesis methods of gold nanoparticles (AuNps) using Chitosan, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Magnolia Kobus, Elettaria cardamomum (Elaichi) aqueous extract and other agents as a reducing/capping agents will be discussed in details. Moreover, we will make a comparison between different green routes of synthesis and the characterization of the obtained nanoparticles from each route.Results:The characterization and applications of the prepared GNPs from different routes are reviewed.Conclusion:The utilization of gold nanoparticles has been advocated because of their high biocomptability, administration in clinical applicability and in diverse aspects of life. It seems that plants are good candidates for nanoparticles production because they are inexpensive, available and renewable sources in addition, it is too simple to prepare extracts from them. Moreover, the great diversity in the types and amounts of reducing agents from plant extracts is responsible for the effortless generation of metallic nanoparticles of various shapes and morphologies.

El Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico (LES) es una enfermedad autoinmune, multisistémica,episódica que puede llegar a ser fatal. Su sintomatología variable y presentaciones atípicas hacen de esta patología un reto diagnóstico.Se reporta el caso de una paciente mujer de 31 años con antecedente de teratoma de ovario, que refieredesde hace 9 meses la sensación de plentud epigástrica y distensión abdominal compatible con ascitis, acompañada de baja ponderal de peso. El diagnóstico riguroso que incluyó pruebas de laboratorio, de imagen y de líquido ascítico, descartó la etiología neoplásica; llegando a concluir que LES era la causa de estas manifestaciones.Debido a la demora en el diagnóstico y pese a que se inició tratamiento esteroideo, la presentación de una respuesta desfavorable al tratamiento y una infección intercurrente influyó en el desenlace fatal, lo que nos hace considerar la presentación de este caso.

Objetivo:Determinar los efectos de las bebidas con cafeína en la calidad de sueño en alumnos de Medicina de la Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla, México.Metodología:En esta investigación se utilizó un diseño descriptivo, transversal, observacional y correlacional causa-efecto, en el cual se analizaron aleatoriamente 170 estudiantes que cursaban el sexto semestre durante el período primavera 2016, en la Facultad de Medicina de una universidad privada. A todos los estudiantes se les aplicó el cuestionario del Índice de calidad de sueño de Pittsburgh, además de recolectar datos sobre la calidad de sueño, así como el uso de bebidas con cafeína, durante el último mes.Resultados:Se encontró que del total de estudiantes de Medicina estudiados, el 82,3% consume bebidas con cafeína, no obstante este consumo no sobrepasa los 100 mg/día de dicha sustancia, siendo el café la bebida con un mayor consumo(83,13%); las bebidas menos consumidas, el chocolate y Monster ( 0,086% en ambos casos). El consumo de bebidas en las mujeres fue mayor (66,65%), mientras que en los hombres fue de 33,35%.Conclusiones:Se evidenció que la mayoría de estos estudiantes de Medicina tienen problemas con la calidad de sueño y gran parte de ellos consume bebidas con cafeína. Sin embargo, en estas personas estudiadas, a pesar de encontrar una correlación positiva con un valor de 0,181, no existe una alta asociación entre la calidad del sueño y el consumo de bebidas con cafeína.

Authors: Rodríguez Vega Oswaldo Ricardo , Pezo Pezo Armando Martin , Torres Ramirez Luis Eduardo 
Published: March 2018

Introducción: Durante la progresión de la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP), la alteración de la marcha es uno de los trastornos más frecuentes, sin embargo, la mayoría de pacientes aún pueden realizar la prueba de marcha en tándem, siendo esta una evaluación útil para diferenciar la EP de otros parkinsonismos. Aun
así, por razones desconocidas, una minoría de pacientes con enfermedad de parkinson falla la prueba, pudiendo confundir la valoración clínica. Objetivos: Determinar la influencia de las características clínicas de los pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson en su desempeño en la marcha en tándem. Pacientes y Métodos:Estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal. Se incluyeron 63 pacientes con diagnóstico de EP que acudieron por consulta externa al Departamento de Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas del Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurológicas (Lima-Perú) durante los meses de enero a marzo del 2015. Los datos se
analizaron con un modelo logístico multivariado. Resultados: El 19,05% de los pacientes evaluados falló la prueba de marcha en tándem. Se encontró que por cada año de vida más de los pacientes con EP, la posibilidad de fallar la prueba de marcha en tándem aumentaba en un 19,5% y que la posibilidad de fallar la
prueba un paciente con bradicinesia es 0,029 veces la de un paciente que no presenta este signo siendo la presencia de este signo un factor protector. Conclusiones: La probabilidad de fallar la prueba de marcha en tándem se incrementa en pacientes con edad avanzada y disminuye en aquellos que presentan bradicinesia

DICKENSIAN STYLE IN CHRISTMAS BOOKS
Authors: KAYA DR. SENEM ÜSTÜN 
Published: March 2018

Charles Dickens, the author of novels, novellas, stories and essays, was highly concerned with the social issues of 19thcentury Victorian period. His writing style is marked with linguistic and artistic creativity, which provided him a label: Dickensian style. The striking common traits of Dickens’s works are repetitions and parallelism in lexical level; deviations and variations in narration; a combination of imagination with reality; fragmentations united within the flow of the action; detailed depiction of setting and characters; the repeated concrete nouns to subordinate abstract meaning; variation in characterization and experimentation with varied themes related to the deficiencies of his time. Many of these common traits of ‘Dickensian’ style are vividly observed in the five short Christmas stories in Christmas Books. Stylistic and linguistic variants of the stories lead to conclude that Dickens preferred certain stylistic markers and linguistic codes for his artistic goal: to attract the readers’ attention for social issues of Industrial Age of Victorian period via the use of certain lexis and syntactical patterns. The combination of his world-view and his artistic literary style manifest Dickens’s style, which can vividly be observed by his readers in Christmas Books. The scope of this analysis contains the application of a linguistic study for a literary purpose and the study involves the analysis of lexical categories determined by G. Leech and M. Short in Style in Fiction (1981).

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Since SMEs are the most important entities of the national economy we can say that their performance is the locomotive of performance at the microeconomic level. The present material is not limited to measuring the performance of SMEs in Romania for a given period, but aims to analyze what impact did the European integration of Romania had on the performance of SME within the development regions. For this we took from the annual edition of White Paper of SMEs for the period 2004-2011 the values of eight indicators used to quantified performance (net result, turnover, return on equity, commercial rate, rotation rate of own capital, overall autonomy rate, labor productivity and overall solvency ratio), we explained the choice of these indicators, we applied the model of unobserved components and established a global performance index of SME development for each region separately. With this index we could determine whether Romania's EU accession had an influence on the performance of SME development in the regions and we could compare this influence with the influences of economic crisis manifested in the analyzed period on the same performance indicators.
Secondary Moments due to Prestressing with Different Bond at the Ultimate Limit State
Authors: Halvoník Jaroslav , Pažma Peter , Vida Radoslav 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Secondary effects of prestressing develop in statically indeterminate structures (e.g., continuous beams) due to the restraint of deformations imposed by hyperstatic restraints. These effects may significantly influence internal forces and stresses in prestressed structures. Secondary effects are influenced by the redundancy of a structural system, which raises the question of whether they will remain constant after a change in the structural system, e.g., due to the development of plastic hinge(s) in a critical cross-section(s) or after the development of a kinematic mechanism, or if they will disappear when the structure changes into a sequence of simply supported beams. The paper deals with an investigation of the behavior of continuous post-tensioned beams subjected to an ultimate load with significant secondary effects from prestressing. A total of 6 two-span beams prestressed by tendons with different bonds were tested in a laboratory with a load that changed their structural system into a kinematic mechanism. The internal forces and secondary effects of the prestressing were controlled through measurements of the reactions in all the supports. The results revealed that the secondary effects remained as a permanent part of the action on the experimental beams, even after the development of the kinematic mechanism. The results obtained confirmed that secondary effects should be included in all combinations of actions for verifications of ultimate limit states (ULS).
