The value of sonoelastography in the diagnosis of supraspinatus tendinopathy—a comparison study
Authors: Vasishta Aishvarya , Kelkar Abhimanyu , Joshi Priscilla , Hapse Renuka 
Published: January 2019

Objective:
This study assessed the association between tendon stiffness on sonoelastography and grades of tendinopathy on MRI in patients with supraspinatus tendinopathy.

Methods:
25 consecutive adult patients with clinically suspected supraspinatus tendinopathy and no prior history of trauma referred for MRI of the shoulder were selected for this study. The supraspinatus tendinopathy was graded in consonance with MRI findings (Grade I, normal; Grade II, mild tendinopathy; Grade III, moderate tendinopathy; and Grade IV, marked tendinopathy). Strain ratios were evaluated. Spearman rank correlation test was used, to analyze the association of the MRI grade with strain ratios.

Results:
Out of 25 patients, Grade I changes on MRI were found in 5 patients (20.0%), Grade II tendinopathy in 13 patients (52.0%), Grade III in 6 patients (24.0%), and Grade IV in 1 patient (4.0%). The mean sonoelastography strain ratio of supraspinatus tendons were 0.76 ± 0.32 in patients with Grade I, 0.59 ± 0.40 in Grade II, 0.31 ± 0.10 in Grade III and 0.15 ± 0.02 in Grade IV patients respectively. The strain ratios showed good correlation with the MRI grade p &lt; 0.05.

Conclusion:
We compared the MRI findings of supraspinatus tendinopathy with sonoelastography strain ratios. Sonoelastography showed good correlation with MRI.

Advances in knowledge:
Sonoelastography in supraspinatus tendinopathy may help in predicting improvement or worsening of the tendon health at the tissue level. Therefore, there is a possibility that it has use in the rehabilitation of professionals suffering from supraspinatus tendinopathy.
Cavum Septum Pellucidum, da embriologia à clínica: uma revisão da literatura
Authors: Martins Lia Pontes Lisboa , Leitão Antônio Miguel Furtado , Lucena Jalles Dantas de , Gondim Francisco de Assis Aquino 
Published: January 2019

Introdução: O septo pelúcido (SP) é formado por duas lâminas neurais separadas, que se fundem após o nascimento. Quando não há fusão completa, tem-se a persistência do Cavum embriológico, que pode ser chamado Cavum Septum pellucidum (CSP), Cavum Vergae ou Cavum Septum pellucidum et Vergae (CSP et Vergae), dependendo da extensão anteroposterior. Embriologicamente, o CSP está relacionado à formação do corpo caloso e de outras estruturas cerebrais. O SP faz parte do sistema límbico, por isso há possibilidade de que Cava persistentes tenham repercussão nas funções neuropsíquicas. Objetivo: revisar a literatura sobre a formação e o significado clínico da persistência do CSP em adultos. Métodos: foi realizada revisão da literatura de artigos publicados na base de dados PUBMED, utilizando os descritores: “Cavum”, “Brain Cava” e “Cavum Septum Pellucidum”. Os artigos selecionados continham considerações sobre formação e possível significado clínico do CSP. Resultados e Discussão: CSP vestigiais são considerados como variantes da normalidade. Porém, vários estudos sugerem que a persistência de CSP com grandes dimensões pode representar uma disgenesia cerebral na linha média. Estudos tentam relacionar o CSP com múltiplos distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos, especialmente com esquizofrenia. De maneira geral, há relativo consenso de que os CSP alargados têm maior chance de representar significado patológico, embora suas manifestações não sejam bem reconhecidas. Conclusão: existem indícios de que CSP persistentes, quando alargados, podem manifestar-se como distúrbio neuropsíquico, de espectro ainda indefinido. Estudos em população geral ainda são escassos e com prevalências variadas. Trabalhos mais abrangentes são necessários para melhor entendimento de seu significado clínico.
FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA: CONSTRUINDO CENÁRIOS INCLUSIVOS PARA ALUNOS SURDOS
Authors: Morriesen Eliane Maria 
Published: January 2019

A circularidade que se apresenta para o presente artigo objetiva em investigar se no processo da formação continuada existem conteúdos específicos para que os professores possam construir cenários pedagógicos inclusivos para alunos surdos. Tal propositura centra-se no fato que a formação continuada de professores traz em sua estrutura organizacional o objetivo central de promover orientações didático pedagógica aos professores visando bem prepara-los para o exercício pleno de sua função enquanto educador, tendo como princípio basilar o de saber, fazer, e principalmente de transmitir os conhecimentos adquiridos. A partir deste entendimento a pesquisa foi realizada junto a dezesseis professores que atuam com alunos surdos do ensino fundamental nos anos iniciais e finais, de duas escolas públicas localizadas no estado do Paraná. A obtenção dos dados foi realizada através de uma entrevista a qual continha oito perguntas descritivas. Os resultados demonstraram que não existe no contexto educacional, considerando as escolas analisadas, programas educacionais voltados para a formação continuada de professores na área da surdez, constatou-se também que os professores atuam com o auxílio da intérprete da Língua Brasileira de Sinais – LIBRAS. Averiguou-se que para superar estas dificuldades os mesmos contam com a experiência em sala de aula e do tempo de atuação na docência e que 50% dos entrevistados demonstraram que já participaram de cursos desta natureza ou que pretendem participar de curso de formação voltados para a área da surdez. Baseado nos resultados obtidos foi possível observar que é necessário repensar a prática docente voltada para a inclusão de alunos surdos em sala. É imprescindível para os professores pensarem e entenderem como o aluno surdo aprende, faz e compreende o mundo em que está inserido.

Published: January 2019

O presente artigo apresenta um recorte da pesquisa realizada com os alunos da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), da Rede Pública Municipal de Educação de São Gonçalo, município localizado na Região Metropolitana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa aborda a importância e o uso do Livro Didático (LD) para esses sujeitos.Para isso, a pesquisa procurou investigar os sentidos atribuídos pelos estudantes do Grupo I, Fases 1 e 2 dessa modalidade a esse recurso didático de forma geral e, concomitante, também a questão da aplicabilidade do LD “EJA Moderna , volume I, do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático para a EJA (PNLD/EJA) adotado por essa rede de ensino. A pesquisa assim configurada traz o entendimento de que para suprir as necessidades dos educandos e efetivamente cumprir o seu papel de formação e informação é necessário que o LD seja concebido considerando-se que os conteúdos nele presentes estejam contextualizados de acordo com o contexto social do aluno,com vistas à aquisição dos bens socioculturais, leia-se, à cultura letrada a que todo cidadão tem direito.
Security Aspects of Migrations
Authors: Vurnek Dragutin , Bengez Andrea , Perkov Matej 
Published: January 2019

AbstractMigrations as an inevitable fact of socioeconomic trends pose a security challenge for migrant countries, transition countries, and the countries where migrants come as to the ultimate destination. They are realized in a large area with a large number of participants and global consequences. This paper, through the basic determinants of migrations, statistical indicators on migrations, security challenges, risks and threats, migration policy and international security, provides answers to the questions about the numerical movement of migrants from the seventies of the last century to today on a global scale. Responses are also given about the reasons for triggering migrations, the most desirable migrant destinations, and the impact of migrations on security in departure, transit and destination countries. Particular attention is given to the last migration crisis that has largely affected the European Union.
The Challenges of Integrating Sustainable Wine-Growing Into Wine Tourism – Examples from Slovenia and Abroad
Authors: Koščak Marko 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
In an increasingly competitive tourist market, wine and enogastronomy are becoming key elements in the development of tourist products in regions that cultivate grapevines, in Slovenia and internationally. It has been claimed that no kind of tourism can develop in regions without wine; however, from today’s perspective, this claim seems an exaggeration. Nevertheless, enogastronomy is an integral part of many contemporary tourist products. As such, it combines tradition, history and heritage and also improves the recognisability of a given destination on which modern wine tourism products rest. On a global scale, wine tourism is growing, and the forecast for the future is likewise promising.
The essence of a wine tourism product is to connect food and wine, i.e. enogastronomic or culinary experiences, and to follow new trends. The trend is to consolidate this segment of tourism services, in particular through leisure activities and relaxation at the destination of choice. Food and wine thus become part of the cultural experience of the visited destination and equal the experience of visiting a museum or a concert or can be an equal component of such a package.
Level and Structure of Inputs in Specialist Farms
Authors: Kuboń Maciej 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThe objective of the paper is to determine the size of human and objectified labour in selected specialist vegetable farms. The paper covered studies carried out in the area of southern Poland in 50 organic vegetable farms. Based on the detailed studies, the size and structure of work, and energy inputs used in the production process were determined. The highest inputs of labour per a unit of the production area and 1 tonne of a product were incurred in production of Cucurbita vegetables – 1883.1 and 547.74 man-hour, while the lowest of Solanacea vegetables – 342.8 and 7.11 man-hour. From among all analysed groups of plants, the highest energy inputs were incurred in cultivation of root and onion vegetables and they were three times higher than in traditional farms. Contrary, the lowest inputs were incurred in cultivation of brassica and Solanaceae vegetables.
The Effect of the Malt Grinding Degree on the pH Value and Extract Content in Beer Mash
Authors: Natoniewski Marcin , Rydzak Leszek , Wyciszkiewicz Agata , Guz Tomasz 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
In recent years, a dynamic development of brewing has been observed. Increasingly, production of malt and beer takes place even in smaller industrial factories, breweries restaurants or at home. Extraction is a process applied in a variety of industries, including food production, as a way of extracting specific ingredients from their mixtures. As a result of this process, not only sugars, proteins, fats, enzymes, vitamins, colorants, fragrances and flavors, but also malt and hop extracts are being isolated. In the process of mashing, in which the malt ingredients are being extracted, many biochemical, physical and chemical changes take place. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of the degree of fragmentation of pilsner type malt on the amount of extract obtained and the pH of the mash. It has been observed that the degree of malt fragmentation has a significant effect on the content of the extract in the mash: the more fragmented malt, the more malt extract in mash produced using the malt. It has also been found that the pH of the mash increases with the average particle size of malt.
Tibetan Objects in the Náprstek Museum
Authors: Heroldová Helena 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures acquired two hundred items from Tibet in the 1950s: bronze sculptures, paintings and ritual implements. These items came from private collections confiscated after the Second War World according to the presidential decrees dealing with the post-war state reconstruction. Although the administration of the confiscated properties was meticulous, the transfer of items to the Náprstek Museum interrupted the history of ownership and meant the loss of the historical knowledge of its origin. As the result, the Tibet collection in the Náprstek Museum reveals more about the political and social history of post-war Czechoslovakia than about the perception of Tibetan culture in Czechoslovakia during the first half of the 20th century.
Hong Kong as Alternative Sinophone Articulation: Translation and Literary Cartography in Dung Kai-Cheung’S Atlas: The Archaeology of an Imaginary City
Authors: Chao Long 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Following the 2014 Umbrella Movement, Hong Kong society has witnessed a series of fights between social (youth) activists and its Special Administrative Government (SAR). What was at stake really boils down to the issue of Hong Kong’s self-positioning vis-a-vis the rising economic and political strength of Mainland China. This issue is certainly nothing new, given that most cultural discourses in the 1990s, both within and outside Hong Kong, have focused on the city’s postcolonial status after the handover. This article therefore proposes to approach such an issue from the perspective of the Sinophone to bring to light how cultural production in Hong Kong can generate alternative thinking. It considers specifically a literary work by a native Hong Kong writer, namely, Dung Kai-cheung’s Atlas: The Archaeology of an Imaginary City (Atlas), through the lens of translation. By analysing how Dung Kai-cheung engages in three levels of translation to paint a kaleidoscopic image of Hong Kong, this article shows how the concept of Sinophone can inspire, enlighten and even question existing knowledge about Hong Kong’s history and culture. Eventually, Atlas, shown as deprived of a nativist or nationalistic discourse, creates new epistemic possibilities for understanding Hong Kong. As part of the ongoing global Sinophone cultures, Atlas also exemplifies how Hong Kong can be imagined to hold an equally important position vis-a-vis Mainland China.
Karl Marx and the Geographies of the Present
Authors: Aroch Fugellie Paulina 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The oversaturation of information that characterizes the “digital age” is not only a question of large numbers of competing discourses blurring meaning itself out, but also of a fundamental disassociation between words and their use, between the constative and the performative dimensions of language. Baudrillard has analysed how the mutability of signs in our society has rendered meaning meaningless, through an infinite game of simulacra and simulation that forecloses our understanding of reality rather than making it legible. Meanwhile, Sloterdijk and Žižek have approached the same problematic from a different angle, analysing how actions perform an ideological foreclosure that cannot be observed when analysing signs alone. What discourses say and what they actually do today is often contradictory and this contradiction fulfills an ideological function. This is especially troubling when discourses declare themselves to be counter-hegemonic yet actively participate in the reproduction of the status quo. In this context, it is pertinent to return to the work of Marx to reflect on and engage with his coherent articulation of words and their use, of words and actions, and of the intellectual and the political. The coherence of his discourse and praxis offers tools to think through, if not seek to transform, the alienated semiotic landscape of our times.
A model for warm clouds with implicit droplet activation, avoiding saturation adjustment
Authors: Porz Nikolas , Hanke Martin , Baumgartner Manuel , Spichtinger Peter 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The representation of cloud processes inweather and climate models is crucial for their feedback on atmospheric flows. Since there is no general macroscopic theory of clouds, the parameterization of clouds in corresponding simulation software depends crucially on the underlying modeling assumptions. In this study we present a new model of intermediate complexity (a one-and-a-half moment scheme) for warm clouds, which is derived from physical principles. Our model consists of a system of differential-algebraic equations which allows for supersaturation and comprises intrinsic automated droplet activation due to a coupling of the droplet mass- and number concentrations tailored to this problem. For the numerical solution of this system we recommend a semi-implicit integration scheme, with effcient solvers for the implicit parts. The new model shows encouraging numerical results when compared with alternative cloud parameterizations, and it is well suited to investigate model uncertainties and to quantify predictability of weather events in moist atmospheric regimes.
The Evaluation of Discovery: Models, Simulation and Search through “Big Data”
Authors: Glymour Clark , Ramsey Joseph D. , Zhang Kun 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
A central theme in western philosophy was to find formal methods that can reliably discover empirical relationships and their explanations from data assembled from experience. As a philosophical project, that ambition was abandoned in the 20th century and generally dismissed as impossible. It was replaced in philosophy by neo-Kantian efforts at reconstruction and justification, and in professional statistics by the more limited ambition to estimate a small number of parameters in pre-specified hypotheses. The influx of “big data” from climate science, neuropsychology, biology, astronomy and elsewhere implicitly called for a revival of the grander philosophical ambition. Search algorithms are meeting that call, but they pose a problem: how are their accuracies to be assessed in domains where experimentation is limited or impossible? Increasingly, the answer is through simulation of data from models of the kind of process in the domain. In some cases, these innovations require rethinking how the accuracy and informativeness of inference methods can be assessed. Focusing on causal inference, we give an example from neuroscience, but to show that the model/simulation strategy is not confined to causal inference, we also consider two classification problems from astrophysics: identifying exoplanets and identifying dark matter concentrations.
Effects of mindfulness training on regulatory and academic abilities in preadolescents: Results from a pilot study
Authors: Wimmer Lena , von Stockhausen Lisa , Bellingrath Silja 
Published: January 2019

AbstractRegulatory abilities such as self-regulation and stress regulation are key predictors of essential developmental outcomes, including intellectual and socioemotional milestones as well as academic achievement. Preadolescence has been proposed as a period that is crucial for training these abilities. The present pilot study investigated the effects of mindfulness training on preadolescents‘ regulatory abilities and school-related outcomes. A group of 34 fifth graders received either mindfulness training (experimental group), Marburg Concentration Training (alternative treatment group), or no treatment (passive control group) and were monitored over a four-month intervention period. Regulatory abilities were assessed first, with two self-report questionnaires that operationalized impulsivity and coping with stress, respectively. Second, physical stress regulation was examined on the basis of diurnal cortisol as well as salivary α-amylase (sAA) profiles. Finally, school-related outcomes were measured with a paperpencil based performance test of verbal memory. Results show that impulsivity increased in all groups over time, whereas there were no significant training effects on self-reported coping with stress. Both training groups showed more adaptive physiological stress regulation in terms of steeper diurnal cortisol slopes and marginally less pronounced sAA awakening responses, however, with respect to physiological measures, no data of the passive control group are available. With respect to school-related outcomes, the results indicate a slight superiority regarding verbal memory for the mindfulness training group compared to the Marburg Concentration Training group.

Published: January 2019

Abstract
Adsorption of thorium onto nitric acid modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated by central composite design as a function of contact time, pH, initial thorium concentration and temperature. The results showed that optimum uptake capacity was 65.75±2.23 mg·g−1 with respect to pH=4, initial thorium concentration of 100 mg·L−1, 25 °C and 15 min contact time. Thermodynamic parameters [standard enthalpy (ΔH
0), entropy (ΔS
0), and free energy (ΔG
0)] were calculated, and the results indicated that adsorption was endothermic. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms have been investigated in order to characterize the adsorption process in the range of 25–100 mg·L−1 initial thorium concentration. The Freundlich isotherm is the best suited as a model because it has the highest correlation coefficient (R2=0.9485). The pseudo-second order kinetics well defined the adsorption process.
Modeling of temperature dependency of structural waves in an ultrasonic flow measurement system
Authors: Bächle Matthias , Puente León Fernando 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Structural waves transmitted solely through the pipe wall influence the accuracy in a clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement system because of the superposition with the signals of interest. To improve the measurement against temperature variations, an algorithmic compensation of the structural waves using a temperature model is required. This paper proposes a temperature model for structural waves, using the Matching Pursuit method. In the first section, a sparse signal representation is presented to approximate the structural wave signals. The resulting signal coefficients are used to describe the temperature dependency in a linear model. The method is validated using measurements of structural waves in a circular pipe over a temperature range between

and

. Based on these measurements, the accuracy of the approximated temperature model is evaluated and compared against the baseline signal-stretch method.
Addition of some 6-amino-4-aryl-2(1H)-pyridones to phenylisocyanate and related reactions
Authors: Raev Lyubomir Dimitrov , Ivanov Ivo Christov , Agontseva Silviya Georgieva 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The Michael addition of enaminoesters to coumarins leads to the formation of the rearranged adduct 1 whose structure has been previously elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Now, N- and/or O-carbamoylation of the 6-amino-2-pyridone 1 by treatment with phenyl isocyanate in a molar ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 gave N-mono- (2a) or N,O-bis-(phenylcarbamoyl) (3) derivatives, respectively. Further transformations of the corresponding new 2-pyridone derivative 2a into the O-acetyl derivative 2b and the chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine 4 are reported as well.
