Non-Adherence Related Factors to Antihypertensive Medications Among Hypertensive Patients on Follow up at Nedjo General Hospital in West Ethiopia
Authors: Berisa Habtamu Dame , Dedefo Mohammed Gebre 
Published: March 2018

Background:Hypertension is an overwhelming global challenge. Increasing awareness and diagnosis of hypertension, and improving control of blood pressure with appropriate treatment are considered critical public health initiatives to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Objective:To assess non-adherence-related factors to antihypertensive medications among hypertensive patients on follow up at Nedjo General Hospital.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among hypertensive patients on follow up at Nedjo General Hospital from March 15 to May 5, 2015. A total of 172 hypertensive patients who were available during study period were included in the study. To identify the independent non-adherence-related factors, backward logistic regression analysis was used.Results:Only 54 (31.4%) of the study participants were adherent to their treatment. On multivariable logistic analysis non-adherence was more likely to occur among those with age of>55 years (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.10, 95% CI = 0.01-0.85, p=0.035), illiteracy (AOR = 6.76, 95% CI = 1.01-45.08, p=0.049), income status of <500 Ethiopian birr (AOR = 18.51, 95% CI = 1.95-176.06, p=0.011), duration of treatments of>5 years (AOR = 5.41, 95% CI = 1.08-27.22, p=0.041), physical inactivity (AOR = 34.51, 95% CI = 4.66-255.89, p=0.001) and knowledge deficit about hypertension and its treatment (AOR = 7.67, 95% CI = 2.48-23.73, p<0.001).Conclusion:A finding of this study revealed that an adherence status of study participants was low. Thus, greater effort is needed to improve patient adherence to antihypertensive medications.

Published: March 2018

Se evaluó un sistema de tratamiento para agua lluvia cosechada en los techos de la Universidad Libre, sede Bosque Popular empleando elementos lignocelulósicos mediante dos filtros de flujo descendente con lecho profundo. Uno que consta de luffa cylindrica como soporte combinado con cascarilla de arroz como medio filtrante y otro que solo funcionó con cascarilla de arroz como medio filtrante. La eficiencia del tratamiento se evaluó a través de análisis físicos, químicos y biológicos como pH, turbiedad, sólidos disueltos totales, sólidos suspendidos totales, DQO y coliformes para un período de 10 días. Algunos de estos parámetros no mejoraron con el sistema en el período de prueba. Se observó además la ausencia de alcalinidad y dureza, lo que puede permitir el uso de esta agua en procesos diferentes al de consumo humano.

Authors: Chaula Esis Prasasti Inda , Baskoro Nurdopo 
Published: March 2018

Background: Cardiovascular disease, especially hypertension, is the main cause of death in both developed and developing countries. Hypertensioncan lead to atherosclerosis, which is the most common cause of ischemic and coronary heart disease. Some countries have used Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA), which is a noninvasive test, to observe the anatomy of coronary artery. Nevertheless, invasive angiography isstill the gold standardfor coronary artery visualization. Atherosclerotic plaques cancause left main coronary artery stenosis. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to analyze the correlation between blood pressure and severity of the atherosclerosis in the left main coronary artery. With CTCA examination, the presence of plaque, severity of stenosis and type of plaques were assessed. Methods: The study design was analytic observational with cross sectional design. Data was drawn from medical records. The sample included a total of 29 patients which were suspected of having coronary heart disease and examined with CTCA who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria in Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia. Result: The correlation between systolic blood pressure and left main coronary artery stenosis was obtained by Spearman’s rho r = 0.0429, p-value of with of 0.020 (2-tailed). The correlation between diastolic blood pressure and left main coronary artery stenosis was obtained by Spearman’s rho r = 0.354 with p-value of 0.060(2 -tailed). Some types of plaques were found in left main coronary artery, and systolic blood pressure are significantly different analysed usingAnova (analysis of variance) which probability was significant with p value 0.041. Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between systolic blood pressure and left main coronary artery stenosis. Therewas no correlation between diastolic blood pressure and left main coronary artery stenosis. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between systolic blood pressure and the type of plaques in the left main coronary artery.
Niklas Luhmann, ¿una teoría sistémica de la democracia?
Authors: Hernández Arteaga Laura 
Published: March 2018

<p>El presente trabajo reconstruye la concepción de la democracia desde la perspectiva de la teoría de los sistemas sociales de Niklas Luhmann. La sociología política de Luhmann, inscrita en la teoría de los sistemas sociales autorreferentes y autopoiéticos, es un referente heurístico para abordar el fenómeno de la democracia a la luz de un enfoque teórico que trasciende las fronteras tradicionales de la Ciencia Política contemporánea; es una perspectiva, si bien sociológica, que condensa un brebaje multidisciplinario que pretende delinear elementos teóricos para explicar fenómenos de la realidad política contemporánea</p>
Effect of Different Computer-aided Design/Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Materials and Thicknesses on the Fracture Resistance of Occlusal Veneers
Authors: Andrade JP , Stona D , Bittencourt HR , Borges GA , Burnett LH , Spohr AM 
Published: March 2018

SUMMARY
The aim was to evaluate, in vitro, the influence of different computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials (IPS e.max CAD, Vita Enamic, and Lava Ultimate) and thicknesses (0.6 mm and 1.5 mm) on the fracture resistance of occlusal veneers. Sixty human third molars were prepared to simulate advanced erosion of the occlusal surface, and the teeth were randomly divided into six experimental groups (n=10) according to the material and thickness used to build the veneers. Ten sound teeth formed the control group. The veneers were adhesively luted and submitted to mechanical cyclic loading (1 million cycles at 200-N load). The fracture resistance test was performed in a universal testing machine. The failures were classified as “reparable” and “irreparable.” According to two-way analysis of variance and the Tukey test, the interaction (material × thickness) was significant (p=0.013). The highest fracture resistance was obtained for IPS e.max CAD at a 1.5-mm thickness (4995 N) and was significantly higher compared to the other experimental groups (p&lt;0.05). The lowest fracture resistance was obtained for Vita Enamic at 0.6 mm (2973 N), although this resistance was not significantly different from those for IPS e.max CAD at 0.6 mm (3067 N), Lava Ultimate at 0.6 mm (3384 N), Vita Enamic at 1.5 mm (3540 N), and Lava Ultimate at 1.5 mm (3584 N) (p&gt;0.05). The experimental groups did not differ significantly from the sound teeth (3991 N) (p&gt;0.05). The failures were predominantly repairable. The occlusal veneers of IPS e.max CAD, Vita Enamic, and Lava Ultimate, with thicknesses of 0.6 mm and 1.5 mm, obtained fracture resistances similar to those associated with sound teeth.

Published: March 2018

Synopsis Groin pain is common in athletes who participate in multidirectional sports and has traditionally been considered a difficult problem to understand, diagnose, and manage. This may be due to sparse historical focus on this complex region in sports medicine. Until recently, there has been little agreement regarding terminology, definitions, and classification of groin pain in athletes. This has made clear communication between clinicians difficult, and the results of research difficult to interpret and implement into practice. However, during the past decade, the field has evolved rapidly, and an evidence-based understanding is now emerging. This clinical commentary discusses the clinical examination (subjective history, screening, physical examination); imaging; testing of impairments, function, and performance; and management of athletes with groin pain in an evidence-based framework.

MEMPERKOKOH IDIOLOGI NEGARA PANCASILA MELALUI BELA NEGARA
Authors: Budiyono Budiyono 
Published: March 2018

Semenjak reformasi pembicaraan tentang Pancasila sebagai ideologi bangsa dan negara semakin redup. Hal ini juga tidak terlepas dari rezim-rezim pemerintahan sebelumnya yang belum menjalankan Pancasila sebagai idiologi negara dengan benar. Sementara berbagai idiologi transnasional bermunculan mewarnai gerakan-gerakan sosial bernuansa agama yang mempengaruhi cara berpikir dan bertindak kelompok-kelompok masyarakat, yang dampaknya kerap menimbulkan konflik dan kekerasan dalam masyarakat. Indonesia seolah berjalan tanpa arah yang jelas terombang ambing karena tanpa pijakan yang kokoh. Bila ada peristiwa konflik dan kekerasan yang banyak menyedot perhatian publik, kita baru teringat Pancasila sebagai idiologi negara dipanggil untuk mengatasi permasalahan-permasalahan bangsa dan kenegaraan yang terjadi. Maka dari itu kita harus kembali meyakini bahwa Pancasila yang digali dari nilai-nilai luhur bangsa dan telah terbukti berhasil melalui berbagai ujian yang akan menggantikannya serta dapat mempersatukan bangsa harus semakin diperkokoh, dimantapkan dalam sanubari bangsa Indonesia guna menangkal idiologi-idiologi asing bernuansa agama (radikal) yang tidak sesuai dengan jiwa bangsa Indonesia melalui bela negara. Dengan bela negara yang dilakukan secara berkesinambungan, semakin memperkuat kebangsaan dan pertahanan Indonesia.

Heat Treatment and Microstructural Contrasting on Low-Alloy Copper-Based Alloys
Authors: Pfeffer K. , Eisenbart M. , Klotz U. E. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Copper is a material used in a wide range of applications. The combination of electrical conductivity and mechanical strength is a feature which is especially important when it comes to conductive and contact materials. This combination of properties in low-alloy copper-based alloys can be achieved when the material is subjected to a thermomechanical treatment consisting of rolling and annealing.
Samples of the alloy CuNi1.5Si0.3 were taken at distinctive steps of the industrial manufacturing process for semi-finished products in order to examine the influence of the manufacturing parameters on the microstructure during solution annealing, rolling, and aging. The sample material for the respective chosen conditions was aged in the laboratory at various temperatures. Quasi-static tensile tests were performed, the electrical conductivity was determined, the microhardness was measured, and the microstructure was examined on metallographic sections in order to characterize the material conditions.
Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of Tomographic Image Data for the 3D Microstructure of Electrode Material in Lithium-Ion Batteries
Authors: Westhoff D. , Kuchler K. , Feinauer J. , Petrich L. , Schmidt V. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article describes stochastic 3D structure models for electrodes of lithium-ion batteries, which can be used for model-based optimization of the electrode morphology. First, a single particle model is presented which can be used to parametrically describe individual particles from 3D tomographic image data. By fitting parametrical distributions it is therefore also possible to simulate (statistically similar) particles. Hereafter, different approaches for the arrangement of individual particles in the observation window are presented, so that system-based properties of different electrode types can be approximately matched (e. g. the connectivity of the particle system as well as the structure of the pore space). Finally, algorithms for the automatic recognition of particle cracks in tomographic image data are presented which can be used to integrate ageing effects into the models.
L’Amérique. Nord et Sud
Authors: Sarmiento Domingo F. , Moallic Benjamin 
Published: March 2018

Discours prononcé par Sarmiento en 1865 devant la Société Historique de Rhode-Island, ce texte est d’abord une réflexion sur l’unité des deux Amériques. D’une modernisation impulsée par le génie nord-américain au partage d’une destinée commune, Sarmiento rappelle ce qui rapproche ces deux parts du continent. Ainsi replacé dans une même histoire européenne et américaine, le devenir du continent est relu à la lumière des thèmes chers à l’auteur : le procès de civilisation, le poids des religions, l’éducation et la lutte contre les tyrannies. Texte d’histoire et d’historien, il est aussi un plaidoyer à l’adresse des États-Unis pour soutenir le développement de l’Amérique du Sud et découvrir aussi bien ses richesses que sa civilisation.
Liberté et Néo-Fascisme en Amérique latine
Authors: Arciniegas German 
Published: March 2018

Huit ou dix des nations latino-américaines vivent en 1950 sous le régime de dictatures néo-fascistes, largement inspirées par l’Espagne du Général Franco. La séduction exercée par le communisme sur les classes populaires latino-américaines a toujours été mineure. Mais en soutenant toute dictature se présentant comme un rempart contre l’expansion soviétique, les Etats-Unis favorisent très paradoxalement son expansion. En pleine transformation du fait de leur urbanisation et de leur industrialisation croissantes, les pays latino-américain représentent un défi majeur pour les Etats Unis qui doivent comprendre que leur intérêt stratégique est d’y favoriser le surgissement de régimes démocratiques et modernisateurs.
