El área urbana funcional de Madrid (1991-2011) Metodología y resultados de una propuesta de delimitación y caracterización multicriterio
Authors: Gómez Giménez José Manuel 
Published: November 2018

ResumenEsta investigación centra su atención en el análisis de los procesos constitutivos de lo urbano, más allá de las delimitaciones territoriales administrativas. Es fundamental arrojar luz sobre dichos procesos para estudiar las dinámicas y disyuntivas que enfrentan nuestros desiguales territorios urbanos. Con esta visión se propone una metodología para delimitar el área urbana funcional de Madrid y establecer sobre ella una diferenciación zonal que conjugue la existencia de un gradiente de intensidad de sus procesos constitutivos con la fracturación social de su espacio. Por último, un análisis multicriterio, a través de la generación de índices sintéticos, comparativos entre las diferentes zonas demarcadas, aportará una base descriptiva sobre la que evaluar tanto el acierto metodológico de la delimitación y caracterización del área funcional como su modelo evolutivo de desarrollo durante las últimas dos décadas. Los datos obtenidos arrojan luz sobre la validez de la tradicional dicotomía madrileña noroeste-sureste, así como, sobre la insostenibilidad del modelo en generación.Palabras clave Territorio urbano; urbanización extensiva; movilidad; segregación espacial; ocupación insostenible; vulnerabilidadAbstractThis research focuses on the analysis of constitutive urban processes rather than preconceived demarcations of urban sites. This is of paramount importance to cast further light on the dynamics and dilemmas which our unequal urban territories are facing. With this view, the research proposes a methodology to identify geographically Madrid’s functional urban area and stablish it distinct zones. This task of zoning combines the existence of an intensity gradient in its constitutive urban processes with the social-spatial segregation pattern of Madrid. After that, a multi-criteria analysis through comparative synthetic indexes will lay the foundation for evaluating the methodology being followed heretofore and the characterization of the functional urban area. Finally, all outcomes will provide us with enough information to express a reasoned judgement on the evolutionary development of the area over the past two decades. The conclusion is the validity of the traditional segregation pattern, as well as the unsustainability of the current model set out in the area.KeywordsUrban territories; extended urbanization; mobility; social-spatial segregation; unsustainable land use; vulnerability

Authors: Athiroh Nour , Wahyuningsih Doti 
Published: November 2018

The aim of this research was to investigate the potential effect of methanolic extract of Scurrula atropurpurea (MESA) in reducing oxidative stress through observation of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in mice. In this research, 25 male mice were divided into four groups with five replications. Group I (K1, without MESA) was considered as a control group, while Group II (K2), III (K3), and IV (K4) were given 1000, 2000, and 4000 mg MESA/kg BW, respectively. After 14 days, SOD activity and MDA concentration were measured spectrophotometrically. The SOD activity did not significantly increased (P0.05) in group K1, K2, K3, and K4 with values were 19.469±2.072, 17.4±1.373, 20.53±3.411, and 23.87±2.528 U/ml, respectively. In contrast, MDA concentration was decreased (P0.05) with values of 492.750±19.418, 492.750±19.418, 457.125±30.095, 454.625±19.080, and 475.875±37.659 ng/mL in groups K1, K2, K3, and K4, respectively. It can be concluded that the administration of MESA tend to increase SOD activity and decrease MDA concentration in this study, thus might be able to reduce oxidative stress in mice.

Abstract
Background: Limitation of sight during endotracheal intubation is a major complicating factor using fiberoptic bronchoscope. Thus, maneuvers to relieve such obstructions are recommended. There have been no studies to determine whether the sniffing or neutral position is superior for this purpose. Therefore, this study was performed to examine the effects of these two positions including vocal core view.
Methods: Fifty-four patients scheduled to receive general anesthesia by orotracheal intubation were eligible for inclusion in the study with informed consent. After confirmation of proper head positioning depending on the group, the view of the vocal cord was acquired in each position. Images were reviewed using the percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score.
Results: A total of 106 images of vocal cords from 53 patients were obtained. The mean POGO scores were 26.65 ± 30.18 for the sniffing position and 37.29 ± 32.56 for the neutral position (P = 0.002). Neutral position increased POGO score in 31 patients and decreased POGO score in 13 patients compare to sniffing position (p = 0.017). There were no significant differences between the two head positions with regard to intubation time or degree of convenience during intubation.
Conclusions: Neutral position improved the view of glottic opening than sniffing position during oral fiberoptic intubation. However, there was no difference in the difficulty of tube insertion between the two positions.

Abstract
Background: Pneumonia caused by the ventilator is the most common acquired infection in the intensive care unit, which increases the morbidity and mortality of the patients. Eucalyptus plant has antiseptic properties. Therefore, the present study investigates the effect of eucalyptus incense on prevention of pneumonia in patients with endotracheal tube in the intensive care unit.
Methods: This clinical trial study was performed on 100 patients under ventilation in two intervention and control groups in Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah, Iran in 2018. The patients in the intervention group, Eucalyptus solution 2% and in the control group received 10 cc distilled water as an inhaler three times a day. The results of the two groups were compared to the incidence of pulmonary infections based on CPIS criteria and compared with SPSS version 19 software.
Results: The incidence of late pneumonia was significantly lower in the intervention group (P=0.02). The onset of pneumonia significantly later in the intervention group than the control group (P=0.01). The prevalence of Klebsiella, Candida albicans, and Staphylococcus aureus was significantly decreased in the intervention group (P=0.02) (P=0.04) (P=0.01).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that eucalyptus inhalation is effective in reducing the incidence of pulmonary infection in patients under ventilation. It is recommended that these products be used to prevent pulmonary infections in these patients.

Abstract
Background: Prescription opioid abuse in the United States is a devastating public health crisis, of which many chronic opioid users were originally prescribed the medication for acute pain. Narrative enhanced risk communication may improve patient outcomes such as knowledge of opioid risk and opioid use behaviors in the setting of acute pain.

Methods & Design: Patients presenting to the acute care facilities of four geographically and ethnically diverse United States hospital centers with renal colic or musculoskeletal back pain will be eligible for this multicenter randomized clinical trial. A control group of patients receiving a standardized, general risk information sheet will be compared to two intervention groups, one receiving the risk information sheet plus a probabilistic opioid risk tool and another receiving the risk information sheet plus a narrative enhanced probabilistic opioid risk tool. We will study the effect of probabilistic and narrative enhanced opioid risk communication on: 1) knowledge as measured by risk awareness and treatment preferences for fewer opioids; 2) reduced use of opioids as measured by quantity of opioids taken, functional improvement, and repeat use of unscheduled visits for pain; 3) patient-provider alignment as measured by concordance between patient preference and finalized prescription plan and the presence of shared decision making. To assess these outcomes, we will administer baseline patient surveys during acute care admission and follow-up surveys at predetermined times during the ninety days after discharge.

Discussion: This study seeks to assess the potential clinical role of narrative enhanced, risk-informed communication for acute pain management in acute care settings. This paper outlines the protocol used to implement the study and highlights crucial methodological, statistical, stakeholder involvement, and dissemination considerations.

Authors: Ding Yong Wei , Wei Xiao Hui , Nie Hong , Li Yong Ping 
Published: November 2018

Oleo-damping performance is a key factor affecting the landing gear buffer performance, while the flow discharge coefficient determines buffer damping force. For improving the calculation precision of discharge coefficient estimation method in aircraft design manual, a model for discharge coefficient is established based on pipeline fluid mechanics and damping orifice structure, and a numerical calculation is performed. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is also conducted for damping orifice structure using the commercial software FLUNET. The simulation result of damping orifice discharge coefficient correlates well with the theoretical result. On this basis, landing gear drop dynamic response are calculated with the numerical analysis method using obtained discharge coefficient and compared with experimental results. Furthermore, the influences of current discharge coefficient estimation method and simulation method are analyzed and compared on the hydraulic force and the ground reaction force. The study demonstrates that the poor precision of discharge coefficient estimation method in aircraft design manual leads to more than 30 % differences between the drop dynamic estimation results and the experimental results. The method of CFD simulation or theoretical analysis can improve the calculation precision of discharge coefficient by about 17 %.

Abstract
In this work, the photoconversion of 1-chloronaphthalene (CN-1) and 2,3-dichlornaphthalene (CN-10) under the simulated sunlight had been studied. The results showed that the photoconversion of CN-1 and CN-10 obeyed the first-order kinetics model. NO2−, NO3−, Fe3+ and Fe2+ extensively present in natural water can accelerate CN-1 photoconversion via generating ·OH, which may induce indirect photooxidation of CN-1. The photoproducts were treated by the derivatization method and analyzed by GC-MS after being irradiated for 6 h. Ten products were characterized for CN-1 and CN-10, and there were six common products. On this basis, the photoconversion pathways of CN-10 and CN-1 were proposed, and both of them have a similar conversion mechanism.
Trade credit management in wholesale companies based on statistical methods
Authors: Ermakova E. V. 
Published: November 2018

Study purpose. The paper shows the application of statistical methods for the trade credit management in the wholesale Russian companies. In this industry, the companies deal with a huge amount of customers, while trade credit is a common practice. As a result, fast and reasonable choice of trade credit terms becomes especially important for wholesale companies. The main study purpose is to provide the methods to choose the trade credit terms.Materials and methods. In this paper, the methods for trade credit management are based of the empirical research where binomial logistic model and discriminant analysis were used. The binomial logistic model was used to assess the customers’ reliability, his inclination to violate the terms specified in the contract. The delay period must be chosen when trade credit is provided. In the paper, the discriminant analysis was applied to make the decision. The discriminant functions allow choosing such a period of delay that will be broken with the least probability by the customer with certain financial and non-financial characteristics. The data used refer to 11 Russian companies from the wholesale industry and include 720 observations for 2016-2017.Results. As a result, the possibility of due repayment may be evaluated and the payment delay may be selected according to individual customers’ characteristics. Eight factors that characterize the liquidity of the purchaser, its profitability, turnover, and non-financial factors became significant to assess the reliability. In conclusion, the paper contains the practical example for four hypothetical purchasers with different characteristics. The higher the reliability of the customer, the more attractive conditions can be offered for him, depending on the propensity to risk of the wholesale company, as well as its financial opportunities.Conclusion. This article contains the model to evaluate the possibility of due repayment and algorithm to select the payment delay, which are based on the binomial logistic model and classification functions. Although there are a large number of methods to select the terms of trade credit, the majority of them have serious limitations. The most of methods are based only on the professional experience, while statistical analysis, in presence, is based on data of one company because of the confidentiality of necessary information. In contrast, this article is based on the empirical data and includes the delay period selection, which is slightly enlightened in the literature.

Published: November 2018

Purpose of the study. The main purpose of creating a curriculum is to regulate academic disciplines in accordance with the logic of the learning process, defined by the relationship between the basic concepts of the disciplines. Violation of this logic becomes apparent only directly during the training sessions.A large variety of quantitative methods uses indicators that do not reveal structural deficiencies in the curriculum. This makes it difficult to improve the curriculum.The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the application of a general approach to the assessment of the structural inconsistency of systems in relation to the evaluation of the logical structure of the curriculum.Materials and methods. The paper applies a general approach to the assessment of structural integrity, developed on the basis of the provisions of the general theory of systems and graph theory. The approach involves the construction of three interrelated structural models of the system and using them to determine the initial data for calculating the index of inconsistency of the system structure.Results. The overall approach to the assessment of structural integrity is adapted to assess the logical structure of the curriculum. Three models of curriculum structure are developed:Elementary model of interdisciplinary communication;Curriculum network model;Hierarchical curriculum model.Based on the parameters of the hierarchical curriculum model, using three adapted algorithms, the value of the inconsistency index of the curriculum structure in the direction of preparation “Applied Informatics” is calculated. Recommendations on changing the structure of the studied curriculum to reduce the degree of its structural inconsistency are proposed. Conclusion. As a result of the research, the methods were proposed that allow identifying possible contradictions in the structure of the curriculum and evaluating its inconsistency. As the experiments have shown, it is extremely difficult to study the curricula in a manual manner, the number of disciplines in which exceeds 50. In this regard, the development of a complex of computer programs that will automate the assessment of the inconsistency of large curricula is being completed.

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar as comunidades de abelhas e vespas nas culturas de Capsicum annuum var. annuum. O trabalho foi realizado em três propriedades, no entorno do Parque Nacional Serra de Itabaiana, onde foram efetuadas coletas com rede entomológica. Fizeram-se as coletas a cada 15 dias durante a floração da pimenta, entre os meses de janeiro e maio de 2014, no período das 8h às 16h. Os himenópteros coletados foram preparados e levados ao laboratório para a subsequente identificação e análise de frequência. Amostraram-se 299 indivíduos, totalizando 44 espécies/morfoespécies, sendo 18 de abelhas pertencentes à família Apidae e 26 de vespas Aculeata, pertencentes às famílias Crabronidae, Mutillidae, Pompilidae, Scoliidae, Sphecidae e Vespidae. As comunidades de abelhas e vespas apresentaram dissimilaridade entre as três propriedades, provavelmente em virtude de sua localização e qualidade do hábitat. As análises indicaram a dominância de algumas espécies, como Exomalopsis analis e Augochloropsis spp. Os resultados obtidos são essenciais para a identificação de potenciais polinizadores dessa cultura e para o desenvolvimento de trabalhos relacionados à interação das comunidadesde polinizadores nativos com as culturas agrícolas regionais.
