Authors: Sanad M. H. , Farag A. B. , Motaleb M. A. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The present work has assessed the ability and competency of radioiodinated landiolol that is considered a potential cardio selective imaging agent. Landiolol was radiosynthesized with [131I] using chloramine-T (Ch-T) as an oxidizing agent. To give high radiochemical yield of the [131I]landiolol reaching values of 98% with high stability up to 48 h. The labeled compound was separated and purified using thin layer chromatography (TLC), paper electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Biodistribution studies indicated that [131I]landiolol gave high heart uptake ratio of [45.0±0.19% ID/g at 2 min post injection (p.i.)]. Therefore, [131I]landiolol could be considered as a novel tracer to image heart with high heart/blood ratio within 60 min.

Zusammenfassung
In der Industrie wird jedes Jahr eine große Anzahl von Zahnrädern hergestellt. Geschätzt entfallen allein in Deutschland auf die Automobilindustrie über 120 Millionen. Die Qualitätsprüfung der Verzahnungen erfolgt auf Koordinaten- oder auf speziellen Verzahnungsmessgeräten. Dabei wird das Profil und auch die Flankenlinie an mehreren Zähnen erfasst und ausgewertet. Während die Genauigkeit der Koordinatenmessgeräte mit allgemein anerkannten Methoden untersucht werden kann, fehlt für die zur Auswertung der Verzahnungsmessung verwendete Software ein Test, der auf Tastkugelmittelpunkten basiert. Um ohne eine Referenz-Software, die in dieser Form nicht existiert, die Algorithmen der Verzahnungssoftware zu prüfen, sind Punkte erforderlich, deren Abweichungsparameter vorher bekannt sind. Die Erzeugung von abweichungsbehafteten simulierten Tastkugelmittelpunkten mit vorgegebenen Abweichungsparametern und die Ergebnisse der Auswertung werden in dieser Arbeit beschrieben.

Published: September 2018

Traditional news media are not engaging young audiences and there has been a decline in the number of consumers of traditional media. The main news sources for teenagers in Europe and North-America are social media and friends.
Our research project outlines YouTubers’ content production strategies in order to apply them in conventional news content production to attract young audiences. In this study we profiled the top YouTubers in the world, in Europe and in Estonia based on their profiles, networks, topics, genres and formats. We developed a model of analysis based on the uses and gratifications approach by Katz et al. (1974), and McQuail (2000). This framework was used in the standardised content analysis of YouTube videos.
The results present the “food chain” of different levels of YouTubers; the “food chain” refers to the copying of innovative ideas from less experienced peers, while promoting their content. The food chain also shows how most popular YouTubers generate new production practices and discursive genres. There are noticeable variations in the diversity of genres and formats between different levels of YouTubers. Diversity of content is important for sustaining and increasing audiences. YouTubers utilise specific combinations of genres and formats for certain topics across levels of the food chain. This makes it possible to develop a typology of techniques that YouTubers use to engage audiences.

Published: September 2018

Kerupuk ikan gabus telah dikenal luas namun biasanya terbuat dari bagian dagingnya saja. Limbah berupa tulang ikan belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal, oleh karena itu dijadikan sebagai bahan substitusi<br />pada pembuatan produk kerupuk. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan pengaruh substitusi tepung tulang ikan gabus (TTIG) sebagai fortifikan kalsium terhadap sifat sensoris dan fisika-kimia kerupuk ikan gabus. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan perlakuan substitusi tepung tulang ikan gabus dalam tepung tapioka dengan kadar (0; 4; 8; 12; dan 16% b/b) dan di ulang sebanyak empat kali. Parameter yang dianalisis pada penelitian ini adalah sifat sensoris dan sifat fisika-kimia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa substitusi TTIG berpengaruh nyata (p&lt;0,05) terhadap sifat sensoris rasa, aroma, warna dan tekstur serta sifat fisika-kimia kerupuk ikan gabus. Peningkatan kadar TTIG menurunkan kadar air dan volume pengembangan kerupuk ikan gabus, tetapi meningkatkan kadar protein dan kadar kalsium (p&lt;0,05). Substitusi TTIG sampai dengan 4% menghasilkan kerupuk ikan gabus dengan volume pengembangan yang sama dengan kontrol (tanpa substitusi TTIG) dengan kadar kalsium 200 mg/100 g dan kadar protein 14,27%. Rasa dan warna kerupuk ikan gabus disukai hingga substitusi TTIG 12%, sedangkan aroma dan tekstur disukai hingga substitusi TTIG 8%. <br /><br />

Published: September 2018

Objective: Our study was carried out to investigate
the effects of focused ultrasound imaging which is performed by emergency physicians
in diagnosis and duration of treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods: The patients over 50 years; who applied
to Uludağ University Emergency Department with the complaints of abdominal
pain, side pain, chest pain, syncope, unexplained hypotension and under
suspicion of the abdominal aortic aneurysm, were included in the study. Bedside
ultrasound for abdominal aorta was done and diameter measurements of aorta
recorded in order to determine the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm or
to exclude the diagnosis. Results: A total of 133
patients were included in the study. Eight patients were excluded from the
study because of inadequate bedside US imaging. The aortic diameter was
measured as ≥ 3 cm in the 54 (43.2%) patients. The aortic diameter was found
more than 5 cm in 8 (6.4%) patients.
After ultrasonographic investigations, aneurysm rupture (n = 5; 4%), aortic
dissction (n = 13; 10.4%) and aortic aneurysm (n = 36; 28.8%) were detected. The
diagnosis was confirmed with computed tomography in all patients who had aortic
pathology. Because of the continuance of clinic suspects in the patients whose
aortic diameters were less than 3 cm, their computed tomography images were
obtained and their aortic diameters were found within normal limits. Further
imaging studies weren’t performed at the remaining 48 (38.4%) patients because
different prediagnosis was considered. Emergency ultrasound had a sensitivity
of 100% (95% CI: 87-100), a specificity of 91% (95% CI: 90.8-99.8).

Conclusions: The diagnosis of abdominal aortic
aneurysms is omitted 30% in emergency departments. It has a high morbidity and
mortality if the diagnosis is skipped. In the presence of aortic aneurysm
suspicion, evaluation of aortic diameter by bedside ultrasound is diagnostic.
Bedside ultrasound evaluation by emergency physicians should become routine for
using time and investigation numbers properly.

Published: September 2018

A Declaração Mundial de Educação para Todos é um dos resultados da Conferência de Jomtien, cujas diretrizes apontam para a conformação do setor educacional aos interesses do Capital, sobretudo através de parâmetros para organização da política educacional pressupondo: redução do papel do Estado no trato com as políticas sociais, parcerias público-privadas, ênfase na meritocracia e no esvaziamento do espaço escolar. As diretrizes da Conferência são marcos no campo político educacional brasileiro que tem se apresentado de maneira notória, em especial no atual consenso pela universalização da Educação Básica. Na sociedade brasileira o PDE - particularmente com o que se firma no Programa Mais Educação, posteriormente, Programa Novo mais Educação; e, também no Programa ensino Médio Inovador - mostra o vínculo entre a denominada educação integral e a ampliação do tempo de aprendizagem e empobrecimento curricular. Neste artigo, trata-se de analisar alguns dos eixos educacionais presentes nos documentos da Conferência Mundial de Educação para Todos para compreender o conceito de educação integral e seus desdobramentos na política educacional de educação integral no Brasil.

Authors: De Barba Clarides Henrich , Cavalari Rosa Maria Feiteiro 
Published: September 2018

O artigo analisa a inserção da temática ambiental nos cursos de Licenciatura da Universidade Federal de Rondônia. Trata-se de um “estudo de caso”, realizado por meio de análise documental dos projetos pedagógicos curriculares e dos planos das disciplinas de sete cursos de licenciatura, a saber: Pedagogia, Ciências Sociais, História, Geografia, Biologia, Química e Física que trabalham com a temática ambiental em seus currículos. Foram realizadas entrevistas “semidiretivas” com 14 (quatorze) professores desses cursos. Os dados foram analisados a partir da “Análise de conteúdo” de Bardin (2009), além das características de Ambientalização curricular elaboradas pela Rede ACES (2002). Os resultados revelam que os cursos de Licenciatura investigados privilegiam temas ambientais relacionados às questões amazônicas como o multiculturalismo ambiental, a biodiversidade, a espacialidade, a poluição e degradação da biodiversidade, da espacialidade e da territorialidade, da justiça ambiental, dos contextos históricos ambientais regionais. Constatou-se que os cursos contribuem para a formação de professores no campo da Educação Ambiental na Amazônia. Os currículos e as falas dos docentes evidenciam as seguintes características de Ambientalização Curricular: “compromisso com as transformações nas relações sociedade-natureza”; “contextualização local-global-local, global-local-global”; “levar em conta os participantes na construção do conhecimento” “considerar os aspectos cognitivos e afetivos, éticos e estéticos”.

Capital intercultural y posición socio-educacional: un análisis estadístico de las prácticas de lectura en idiomas extranjeros en la población alemana contemporánea
Authors: Pöllmann Andreas 
Published: September 2018

Con base en los datos recolectados por la encuesta Allgemeine Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften 2016, el presente artículo pretende predecir la incorporación del capital intercultural en términos de las prácticas de lectura en idiomas extranjeros en una muestra representativa a nivel nacional de alemanes contemporáneos con edades de 18 años o más, y con nacionalidad alemana por nacimiento. El correspondiente análisis de regresión logística binaria revela un impacto estadísticamente significativo marcado particularmente por las clases sociales en las cuales se perciben los encuestados y por su nivel de educación formal. El impacto explicativo, estadísticamente medido, que las respectivas variables socio-educacionales tienen sobre las prácticas de lectura en idiomas extranjeros muestra claramente la pertinencia epistemológica de un enfoque probabilístico y multifactorial en el estudio de la aplicación de capital intercultural incorporado – aún en países que pudieran considerarse ricos y democráticamente consolidados, como lo es la República Federal de Alemania.
Sejarah dan Revitalisasi Perjuangan Pertanian Nahdlatul Ulama Melawan Ketidakadilan Agraria
Authors: Luthfi Ahmad Nashih 
Published: September 2018

Abstract: Historiographically, there is false understanding that the 1960’s landreform in Indonesia was only supported by communism party, and religion-based parties were on the opposite sides, ideologically and sociologically. This article contradicts the simplification of the understanding of the history by pointed out that Nahdlatul Ulama supported the policy of land reform. The support was within the framework of the creation of justice, as well as the understanding that private land ownership is respected in Islam, as part of the goal in enforcing syari’at: to keep the possessions of the umat (hifdhul maal). Not only on the implementation, Pertanu also defend and fight for the peasants when they were expelled, and their lands were taken over (counter-landreform) post 1965. Based on the archived of ANRI and local military documents, this article record the institutional history of Pertanu and its struggle to defent the peasants after 1965, and the dynamic of the implementation of land reform and its backflow in Banyuwangi, East Java. The description of historical experiences of this peasant organization is equipped by contextual reflection and its revitalization on current era when facing contemporary agrarian issues. Intisari: Secara historiografis berkembang pemahaman yang keliru bahwa landreform era 1960-an di Indonesia hanya didukung oleh partai berpaham komunisme. Sedangkan partai berbasiskan agama, berada pada pihak yang berseberangan, baik secara ideologis maupun sosiologis. Artikel ini membantah simplifikasi pemahaman sejarah tersebut dengan menunjukkan bahwa Nahdlatul Ulama mendukung kebijakan landreform. Dukungan itu dalam kerangka penciptaan keadilan sekaligus pemahaman bahwa kepemilikan tanah pribadi dihormati di dalam Islam, sebab merupakan bagian dari tujuan penegakan syari’at: menjaga harta benda umat (hifdhul maal). Tidak hanya pada tahap pelaksanaan, Pertanu bahkan juga membela dan memperjuangkan kaum tani tatkala mereka diusir dan diambil-alih tanahnya kembali (counter-landreform) pasca 1965. Berdasarkan arsip dari ANRI dan dokumen militer daerah, artikel ini merekam sejarah kelembagaan Pertanu dan perjuangannya dalam membela kaum tani pasca 1965, serta dinamika pelaksanaan landreform dan arus baliknya yang terjadi di Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur. Uraian pengalaman sejarah perjalanan organisasi tani ini dilengkapi dengan refleksi kontekstualitasi dan revitalisasinya pada era saat ini tetkala berhadapan dengan masalah-masalah agraria kontemporer.
COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE O TESTE DE FITA REAGENTE ATRAVÉS DA URINA E O TESTE DE BETA-HIDROXIBUTIRATO PELO SANGUE PARA DETECÇÃO DE CETOSE EM VACAS LACTANTES.

Published: September 2018

A cetose bovina é uma doença metabólica que atinge vacas principalmente após o parto, podendo apresentar-se tanto na forma clínica como subclínica e muitas vezes não é percebido pelo produtor, porém causa perdas econômicas consideráveis, pois há uma diminuição na produção de leite, atraso do próximo parto e desenvolvimento de doenças secundárias. Neste trabalho foi realizado um levantamento em 41 vacas pós-parto (oitavo ao sexagésimo dia de lactação), para análise comparativa de dois métodos de diagnóstico de cetose bovina, por meio da avaliação da presença de corpos cetônicos na urina, utilizando fita reagente em comparação com o beta-hidroxibutirato (BHB) no sangue total, utilizando aparelho portátil. O teste realizado através do exame de urina com fita reagente obteve resultado de 2,4% (1/41) de animais positivos enquanto o realizado através de aparelho automático portátil, apresentou 58,5% (24/41) de positividade para cetose, todas subclínica. Pode-se evidenciar que o teste com aparelho portátil é mais eficiente e é possível realizar um diagnóstico precoce, já que a cetose identificada com o teste da urina precisa estar em altas concentrações para ser positiva. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar qual método de diagnóstico de cetose subclínica e clínica é mais eficaz, com maior precisão de dados, maior facilidade em coleta e melhor relação.
Multiculturalism in the workplace: Model and test
Authors: Jackson Leon T.B. , Van de Vijver Fons J.R. 
Published: September 2018

Orientation: This article addresses the role of multiculturalism in employee attitudes.Research purpose: It proposes a model of positive features of multiculturalism in organisations and tests it in South Africa. The model postulates three levels in multiculturalism: antecedent conditions, such as multiculturalism practices and norms that define the diversity climate; mediators, such as diversity-enhancing employee attitudes; and positive work outcomes.Motivation for the study: South Africans from diverse backgrounds hardly meet in their private spaces. Given this forced contact in the workplace and the calls for national unity and social cohesion, we propose that a workplace that is characterised by mutual respect, accommodation and tolerance for difference could have a positive impact on employee work attitudes.Research approach/design and method: A quantitative approach was adopted using survey questionnaires that were distributed to employees selected on the basis of convenience sampling (N = 299) in various workplaces.Main findings: A multi-group path analysis confirmed the validity of the model for the white, black and mixed race ethnic groups. Although the differences were negligible to medium, white groups seemed to experience a slightly more favourable multicultural environment compared to black and mixed race groups.Practical/managerial implications: All dimension scores were well above the mid-point of the scale, which suggests that psychometrically speaking, the multicultural climate, ethnic integration orientations and employee attitudes are experienced by these employees as favourable.Contribution/value-add: From a conceptual perspective, the model implies that the more distal variable of a multicultural climate influences employee attitudes through a set of more proximal integration attitudes and practices. From a practical perspective, an inclusive climate has more distal characteristics such as the general multiculturalism climate and more proximal characteristics such as ethnic vitality.

An outbreak of leptospirosis that involved 7 of a team of 27 Israeli troops occurred following a military exercise in northern Israel near the Jordan River. The organism implicated in the outbreak was Leptospira interrogans serovar Hardjo. The clinical course was uncomplicated and all patients fully recovered. There were no cases of asymptomatic infection. Military personnel should be recognized as having an occupational risk for contracting leptospirosis, especially when military activity takes place near natural water sources inhabited by cattle, taking into account the local epidemiology of this disease. Moreover, outbreaks among military personnel may serve as a sentinel for leptospiral illness in areas in which civilian exposure takes place, such as the Jordan River, which is an important site that involves immersion in the context of both pilgrimage and civilian recreational activities.
“Bathe and you will become clean. So he went down and immersed himself seven times in the Jordan, as Elisha had told him to do. And his flesh became clean once more like the flesh of a small child.”

The Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF) was launched in 2000. To understand why some national programs have been more successful than others, a panel of individuals with expertise in LF elimination efforts met to assess available data from programs in 8 countries. The goal was to identify: 1) the factors determining success for national LF elimination programs (defined as the rapid, sustained reduction in microfilaremia/antigenemia after repeated mass drug administration [MDA]); 2) the priorities for operational research to enhance LF elimination efforts.
Of more than 40 factors identified, the most prominent were 1) initial level of LF endemicity; 2) effectiveness of vector mosquitoes; 3) MDA drug regimen; 4) population compliance.
Research important for facilitating program success was identified as either biologic (i.e., [1] quantifying differences in vectorial capacity; [2] identifying seasonal variations affecting LF transmission) or programmatic (i.e., [1] identifying quantitative thresholds, especially the population compliance levels necessary for success, and the antigenemia or microfilaremia prevalence at which MDA programs can stop with minimal risk of resumption of transmission; [2] defining optimal drug distribution strategies and timing; [3] identifying those individuals who are “persistently non-compliant” during MDAs, the reasons for this non-compliance and approaches to overcoming it).
While addressing these challenges is important, many key determinants of program success are already clearly understood; operationalizing these as soon as possible will greatly increase the potential for national program success.
