Published: October 2018

Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a significant public health problem worldwide. They are more frequent in young men; however the prevalence in older individuals is increasing. The aim of this study was to access the prevalence of STIs diagnosis in men aged 50 years and older. We also aimed to compare the demographic and behavioral characteristics of those diagnosed with STIs and those with non-STI conditions.Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including all men aged 50 years and older who have attended a Sexual Transmitted Diseases (STD) clinic of a central hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, between July 2015 and December 2017.Results: Between July 2015 and December of 2017, 1722 men attended the STD clinic, of which 323 (18.8%) were aged 50 years and older. Out of these 323 men, 137 (41.4%) were diagnosed with a STI, more often anogenital warts (32.9%), genital herpes simplex virus infection (19.7%) and early syphilis (19.0%). The mean age of the patients with a STI was 59.9 years and almost all (90.5%) reported an inconsistent use of a condom (90.5%). The number of men that have sex with men (MSM) was significantly higher in patients with a STI (p = 0,003) than those with a non-STI diagnosis. Additionally, 40 (29.2%) of these STI patients had been previously infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and 33 (24.1%) had a past history for syphilis, which were significantly higher than in patients in patients with a non-STI diagnosis (p = 0.015 and p = 0.001, respectively).Conclusion: Existing data on STI has mainly focused younger population with few studies performed in older individuals. Our study reports a large number of men aged 50 years and older that allows a better understanding of this age group. High levels of unsafe sex and previous diagnosis of HIV and syphilis emphasizes the importance of sexual health promotion in older individuals.

Authors: Karslıoğlu Kara Nurcan , Koyuncu Mehmet 
Published: October 2018

In recent years, dairy cattle breeders prefer Simental cows due to higher breeding time and lower incidence of disease, although they have lower milk yield than Holstein cows. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate longevity, the culling reason and some milk yield traits in between the two breeds to investigate the accuracy of this preference. All data that used were collected from herd (Bursa–Karacabey state farm) records belongs to culling cows in two years (2015-2016) and analysed. Longevity for Holstein and Simmental cows were determined 33.6±1.08 month and 33.7±1.21 month. Average lactation milk yield (LMY), 305 days milk yield (305-dMY) and days in milk (DIM), were found to be 8515.63±196.507 kg, 7517.98±148.289 kg and 403.75±9.575 days respectively for Holstein cows and 6079.75±163.126 kg, 5525.71±117.931 kg and 351.40±8.559 days for Simental cows. While the differences between two breeds in terms of longevity and culling reasons were not significant, Holstein cows had higher milk yield than Simmental cows. As a conclusion, it can be said that Holstein cows is the best choice for dairy breeders in local circumstances.

Published: October 2018

This paper reports an analysis of radiation effects on triple gate SOI tunnel FETs from a total ionizing dose point of view, based on measurements and TCAD simulations. Devices with different dimensions were exposed to a dose of 1 Mrad(Si) generated by a 600 keV proton radiation source. It was possible to notice a drain current decrease for irradiated devices that reduces with increasing channel length and gate bias. To explain this behavior, the influence of positive charges at front and back interfaces generated by the cumulative exposure to radiation was analyzed, as well as devices’ internal characteristics for such operation conditions. This analysis is based on the competition between a high channel resistance present in longer devices and the TFET drain current reduction due to the irradiation.

Untuk mendapatkan performa propelan yang lebih energetik, penelitian terbaru menunjukkan bahwa diperlukan penggunaan material-material yang bersifat lebih energetik, misalnya penggunaan binder energetik. Pengawasan yang ketat atas peredaran material energetik seperti ini cukup menyulitkan untuk mendapatkan material-material tersebut. Oleh karena itu kemandirian untuk memiliki material tersebut sudah seharusnya menjadi perhatian. Binder propelan komposit yang paling banyak digunakan saat ini adalah HTPB yang bersifat non-energetik. Untuk membuatnya lebih berenergi tinggi dapat dilakukan dengan menambahkan gugus yang bersifat energetik seperti gugus nitro, namun tetap aman digunakan (bersifat stabil). Tulisan ini mengkaji potensi konversi binder HTPB menjadi nitro-HTPB yang bersifat energetik, meliputi material, peralatan, dan metode yang dapat diaplikasikan di Indonesia. Prosesnya adalah nitrasi HTPB menjadi nitro-HTPB. Berdasarkan kajian energetiknya, nitro-HTPB memiliki potensi untuk meningkatkan sifat energetik propelan padat komposit.

By definition it is the purpose of archives to collect and preserve materials that document the work and activity of persons, organizations, and cultures, for the benefit of those who follow. Such materials can prove to play an active and vital role in the process of remembering, through the telling of stories. This activity can support a library’s endeavors to connect with users in this dimension of its services, and to fulfill its mission. The present essay provides an overview of such initiatives at Wheaton College.
Funding the Future of African American Religion Archival Collections
Authors: Jackson Andrea , Wiseman Christine , Ost Brad 
Published: October 2018

Preparing academically rich collections for access by scholars and students is challenging, costly and time consuming. Concerns for maintenance, preservation, and access are paramount. Typical of 20th century archival collections, one is likely to encounter deteriorating and brittle documents, photographic prints and negatives, and obsolete formats such as open reel audio tapes, audio cassettes and video tapes. More recent collections may also contain computer media; the proliferation of formats and media types impacts the complexity of the work in providing access, as well as the costs. Without sizeable resources, it would take years to process these collections fully, especially those rich with audio and visual materials. Taking all of this into consideration, the Archives Research Center (ARC) and Digital Services Unit (DSU) of the AUC Woodruff Library decided to investigate options for grant funding to expedite the processing and digitization of these underutilized archival collections. This essay concerns the pursuit of a Humanities Collections and Reference Resources (HCRR) grants offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

Background: In renal cell carcinoma (RCC), angiopoietin (Ang) 2 is elevated at the time of progression on anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy and may contribute to resistance. Objective: We tested trebananib, an Ang 1 and 2 neutralizing peptibody in patients with RCC progressing on anti-VEGF treatment. Methods: Patients with measurable RCC progressing despite an anti-VEGF agent within 12 weeks, any number of prior treatments, and good PS were randomized to trebananib 15 mg/kg IV weekly without (Arm A) or with (Arm B) continuation of the prior anti-VEGF agent. The primary endpoint for each arm was tumor response (RECIST 1.1). Secondary endpoints included progression free survival and adverse events. Results: Of 41 enrolled patients, 35 were eligible and started treatment (17 Arm A, 18 Arm B) with median age 60 (46–76) and 3 prior treatments (1–8). Four died prior to documented progression and 27 progressed as their first event. Both arms were stopped after interim analysis, 2 responses (11%; 95% C.I. 1–35%) were observed in Arm B. Median PFS of 2.7 (95% C.I. 2.3–4.7) months in Arm A and 5.2 (95% C.I. 2.7–10.8) months in Arm B did not support continued study. Common adverse events including fatigue, nausea, and increased creatinine were generally grade 1–2 and numerically higher in Arm B. The most common grade 3 or higher adverse events were hypertension and dyspnea. Conclusions: While tolerable, trebananib either without or with continued anti-VEGF therapy did not show promising activity in RCC patients who recently progressed on anti-VEGF therapy alone.

Published: October 2018

This concept aims to explain the entrepreneurial orientation, and the creativity of marketing programs on the performance of MSMEs by being mediated by environmental factors. The general proposition in this theory is that marketing performance is a consequence of fit or match or harmony between two or more factors. In the existing studies, it was stated that the entrepreneurial orientation that was used had a significant effect on improving marketing performance. This relationship is not direct, but there are contextual factors that exist in the relationship of entrepreneurial orientation and creativity of marketing programs with marketing performance. The more fit the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and marketing program creativity with contextual factors, the higher the performance achieved. In a conceptual research in an effort to clarify the constructs of entrepreneurial orientation and the creativity of marketing programs and their relationship to marketing performance, it states that contextual factors are environmental factors. Based on the literature review on the analysis of the factors that influence marketing performance with environmental factors as moderating variables, the theoretical framework that underlies this research concept is developed. In the model or framework, there is a direct influence between entrepreneurial orientation and marketing program creativity on marketing performance. Besides also seen the moderating influence of environmental variables on the relationship.

Keywords: Entrepreneurship Orientation, Marketing Program Creativity, Environmental Factors, and MSME Marketing Performance.

T. E. M. investigation of chromites from New-Caledonia
Authors: Doukhan Nicole , Doukhan Jean-Claude , Nicolas Adolphe 
Published: October 2018

A T.E.M. investigation on chromite from New-Caledonian ophiolites has been undertaken in an effort to elucidate the origin of structures in chromite ore bodies. These bodies have a podiform shape and internally the chromite ore and its olivine matrix are strongly deformed. It is a question with important economical bearings to decide whether these structures were directly obtained in a magma chamber during the course of a turbulent magmatic sedimentation of chromite and olivine or if they result from plastic deformation postdating the magmatic event. This plastic deformation is registered in the surrounding peridotites and in the olivine matrix of the chromite ore. It occurred around 1200° C for stresses lower than a few hundred bars.
Chromites consist in large grains with a very low density of free dislocations and well organized sub-grain boundaries. Stereographic analysis of some of these subgrain boundaries indicate that a large amount of climb occurred because in most cases, the constitutive dislocations no more lie in the usual glide planes of the spinel structure. These features are characteristic of a temperature well above 1/2 TMj that is probably higher than the 1200° C estimated for plastic flow conditions.
Optical observations of thin sections show that during this plastic flow chromite grains have accommodated strain by brittle fracture andT.E.M. observations at the tip of the cracks show that the zone which has been plastically deformed at the front crack does not exceed some microns. These remarks are in agreement with the mechanical properties of other spinels which begin to be correctly known. All seem to have a very high elastic limit, even at 1/2 TM.
These observations suggest that the dislocation structure in this chromite has not been produced by the plastic deformation observed in surrounding olivine bearing rocks but is possibly due to its magmatic history.
