Bringing older informal caregivers and recipients to the digital age: Experiences of using digital services
Authors: Salin Sirpa , Laaksonen Hannele 
Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND: Advancing informal caregivers’ and recipients’ health and functional capacity and enabling living at home are significant objectives in Finnish society. The purpose of this project is to create a model for supporting the welfare services of informal caregivers digitally. METHOD: The data were collected in late 2017 by interviewing the informal caregivers ([Formula: see text] 19) who took part in the project in one city ([Formula: see text] 9) and one rural municipality ([Formula: see text] 10). They filled the 15D quality of life instrument with added questions before and after intervention and evaluated the digital service after seven months of piloting. The recipients ([Formula: see text] 19) also filled a questionnaire on a memory game device. RESULTS: Informal caregivers considered their quality of life good, though approximately half felt mildly depressed and distressed. Their wishes for tablet programs included peer support, lectures, and live entertainment. Nearly all caregivers recommended the digital service to others despite technical problems. The difficulty of the game divided the recipients’ opinions. A functional service model is presented as a summary of the project. CONCLUSIONS: It is paramount to move the entire service to a single platform with large shortcuts to each segment. This will enable the user to easily use the programs and contact people.
Assistive activity technology as symbolic expressions of the self
Authors: Pedersen Heidi , Söderström S. , Kermit P.S. 
Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND: Different types of assistive technologies can support participation for people with disability; nonetheless, technology can break with peoples self-image, sometimes resulting in technology abandonment. OBJECTIVE: This article focuses on how assistive activity technology can be used as symbolic expressions of identity among people with physical disability. METHODS: Qualitative, semistructured, in-depth interviews with people with physical disability using assistive activity technology. RESULTS: The use of assistive activity technology is most often voluntary and based on personal interest. The use of assistive activity technology affects how the informants experience themselves and their social surroundings, and how they act in social activities. Assistive activity technology provides people with disability the opportunity to show themselves from a positive perspective in recognisable and commonly valued activities in society. This phenomenon is changing how other people see and understand people with disability. CONCLUSIONS: Assistive activity technology has the potential to contribute as symbolic expressions of identity for people with physical disability. The technology contributes through positively changing how individuals experience themselves and how other people perceive them. A new finding is that assistive activity technology differs from other assistive technology because the choice of using assistive activity technology is normally based on individual preferences and interests.

Summary. Macrophages are important effectors of innate immunity and the key component of the tumor microenvironment strongly influencing cancer disease outcome and efficiency of cancer therapy. Moreover, recent data have shown that monocytes as macrophage precursors can impact on tumor ability to progression. It’s well known that although tumor-associated macrophages consist of diverse populations, in general, they have tumor-supporting activity. To change tumor-supporting state of tumor-associated macrophages toward tumor-inhibiting mode is one of prospective aims of modern cancer immunotherapy. Cytostatics seems to be possible tools to achieve this aim, because recently it has been shown that chemo- and radiotherapy possess immunomodulatory effects. Most of the findings are related to lymphocytes — T-lymphocytes and NK-cells, but not to monocyte/macrophage lineage. In the review, we have analyzed how cytostatic drugs influence the properties of monocyte/macrophage lineage cells to prospect using of chemotherapy to enhance their antitumor activity.

Authors: Susanto Rani , Andriana Anna Dara 
Published: October 2019

Sistem Informasi Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia atau SIM SDM digunakan untuk mengorganisir tatakelola manajemen sumber daya manusia di perusahaan yang mendukung proses pengambilan keputusan, dimulai dari proses perekrutan dan penerimaan karyawan, penilaian kinerja karyawan serta prosedur lain seperti cuti, pensiun hingga pelatihan. Penilaian Kinerja karyawan bertujuan agar perusahaan dapat mengevaluasi hingga melakukan pengembangan terhadap kinerja karyawannya.
Masalah dalam proses penilaian kinerja karyawan yaitu sering terjadi kesalahan dimana penilaian yang dilakukan dinilai tidak objektif dan masih diragukan hasilnya. Hal ini disebabkan karena penilaian dilakukan berdasarkan perkiraan dan hanya dilihat dari satu sisi penilai saja yaitu Atasan sehingga tidak ada pertimbangan lain saat melakukan penilaian. Masalah lain dari proses penilaian ini yaitu belum adanya kriteria dan syarat untuk penilaian kinerja karyawannya karena hanya absensi karyawan saja yang menjadi kriteria yang digunakan untuk penilaian.
Metode 360 derajat adalah metode penilaian kerja yang memungkinkan karyawan memperoleh penilaian dari segala arah, dari atasan bawahan dan rekan kerjanya. Metode ini memudahkan pihak manajerial untuk memberikan evaluasi terhadap karyawan berupa keputusan promosi, demosi, mutasi, pemberian bonus, pemberian pelatihan maupun pemberian pengarahan. Dari analisis yang sudah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa Metode ini dapat digunakan untuk proses penilaian kinerja karyawan dan juga dapat membantu pihak perusahaan dalam mendapatkan rekomendasi hasil penilaian yang lebih objektif.

Published: October 2019

Pembukaan lahan untuk tempat tinggal merupakan kebutuhan yang tidak bisa dihindari. Akan tetapi pembukaan lahan tersebut seringkali tidak melihat struktur kondisi tanah. Pergeseran tanah yang terjadi pada permukaan tanah adalah indikasi terjadinya bencana tanah longsor. Maka dari itu dibutuhkan suatu sistem data logger. Pembuatan data logger ini menggunakan sampel tanah berwarna merah dan pasir, masing-masing dengan massa 500gram dan 1000gram. Simulasi dilakukan dengan cara membuat suatu jalur pergeseran dan diuji dengan sudut 15°, 30°, 45°, dan 60°. Data dari sensor berupa nilai ADC, yang bertambah sesuai pergeseran tanah dan dikirim dengan wireless, ditampilkan pada Visual Basic dan disimpan di Microsoft Access. Selain itu terdapat modul SD card untuk penyimpanan data cadangan. Hasil dari pengujian modul Data Logger ini mampu mendeteksi pergeseran tanah sejauh ± 221 cm dengan sensitifitas 10cm = 46 nilai ADC.
Pengujian pada tanah berwarna merah dan pasir pada sudut 15° tidak mengalamii pergeseran. Sedangkan pengujian untuk massa 500gram pada sudut 30°, 45°, 60° dihasilkan masing-masing kecepatan rata - rata 1,39m/s dan 1,38m/s, 7,73m/s dan 7,78m/s serta 8,17 dan 8,22m/s. Untuk massa 1000gram pada sudut yang sama menghasilkan kecepatan rata-rata 0,77m/s dan 0,76m/s, dan 4,34m/s dan 4,31m/s, , serta 4,58m/s dan 4,68m/s.

Published: October 2019

Scholars have invented organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) in the past twenty-five years, and it carries on to be an area of interest for scholars. Managing knowledge of employees can be a hard task. Most knowledge employees desire some level of autonomy and do not like being overseen or managed.No matter how well persons can control their feelings. All humans can become expressively cooperated. Hopeful them to get involved in other ways that promote OCB is a good idea. The researchers will find a positive and significant relationship between overall OCB and performance at the group level.
Brand Management: A Scientific Art of Branding a Country
Authors: Bhardwaj Garima 
Published: October 2019

In 21st century, the first criteria that defines the perception of a nation is its economic status. In order to uplift economic status, countries try to reap their USPs by marketing them and positioning them as a brand, for attracting market from across the globe.Even when a country does not consciously manage its name as a brand, people still have images of countries that can be activated by simply voicing the name. Country images are likely to influence people’s decisions consciously or unconsciously, in making multiple other decisions such as Purchasing, Investing, Changing Residence, Traveling and many more. The world’s leading economies for 2019-20, including the USA, China, Japan have a renowned global image of its own in their respective field of uniqueness and that’s how, consistent nurturing of that image helps in positioning a nation as a specific brand.The economic power centres of the world have been changing from west to east and by the end of 2050, (A report by PwC, London) the current developing economies may become one of the largest economies of the world with the help of their smart global self-positioning strategies. India also, has huge stamina to be the 2nd largest economy by then, if the nation’s numerous factors have been marketized in such a way that can position this nation as a big brand, in so many areas, ultimately leading the nation towards a better global position in Diplomatic, Prestigious and Economic ways.
The feasibility of surgical patch osteoplasty in isolated left main coronary stenosis.
Authors: Hassan Essam , Aboollo Moustafa , Elghoneimy Yasser 
Published: October 2019

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is perceived as the most common treatment for left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease with good results compared to left-main stenting or medical therapy. Surgical patch angioplasty (SPA) may present a substitute to the standard CABG in patients with isolated LMCA disease, and it offers physiological antegrade myocardial perfusion, keeps ostial patency and saves bypass material. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of patch osteoplasty in patients with isolated LMCA stenosis.
Methods: This is a retrospective study performed on eight patients with angiographically proven ostial or proximal LMCA stenosis who underwent surgical patch angioplasty. Two of them had associated right coronary artery bypass grafting. All patients were performed with cardiopulmonary bypass and saphenous vein patch. An anterior approach with transverse aortotomy was utilized in all cases. Patients were followed-up clinically for a mean period of 14 months (ranging from 26 to 6 months) for recurrence of symptoms and any postoperative complications.
Results: The early postoperative period was uneventful in all patients. No perioperative mortality was reported. Two patients had postoperative atrial fibrillation, and one patient with poor left ventricular function required preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump. Angiography was done in the first three cases, and all showed no restenosis and no vein patch dilatation.
Conclusion: Surgical patch angioplasty may be a safe and suitable alternative to CABG in selected patients with isolated ostial LMCA stenosis. Further studies are needed to compare the results of the SPA with those of standard CABG and LMCA stenting.

La tuberculosis pulmonar es una infección frecuente en nuestro medio. Generalmente se presenta con síntomas sistémicos como tos, expectoración, fiebre y diaforesis. En algunos casos puede presentarse con hemoptisis cuyo espectro va desde leve hasta masiva. Una vez iniciado el tratamiento, los síntomas de sangrado generalmente resuelven.
Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 38 años, con hemoptisis secundaria a una tuberculosis pulmonar, el cual, a pesar del inicio del tratamiento, continuó con sangrado activo, por lo que fue llevado a Embolización arterial selectiva como alternativa terapéutica con resolución del sangrado.
Mixteca genealogies . Dynastic history? Mythology? or cosmology? The case of Lord 8-Deer
Authors: Lebeuf Arnold 
Published: October 2019

This essay overviews the interpretations of the narrative of a character called 8-Mazatl from Mixtec codices. While there has been a recent interpretation that tried again to understand this narrative as a historical source, more traditional interpretations linked the narrative to mythological characters and events.
This paper explores the possibility of using the mythological interpretations of celestial bodies to link the story to the long scale cycles related with eclipses.
Speckle Observations and Orbits of Multiple Stars
Authors: Tokovinin Andrei , Everett Mark E. , Horch Elliott P. , Torres Guillermo , Latham David W. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
We report results of speckle-interferometric monitoring of visual hierarchical systems using the newly commissioned instrument NN-EXPLORE Exoplanet and Stellar Speckle Imager at the 3.5 m WIYN telescope. During one year, 390 measurements of 129 resolved subsystems were made, while some targets were unresolved. Using our astrometry and archival data, we computed 36 orbits (27 for the first time). Spectro-interferometric orbits of seven pairs are determined by combining positional measurements with radial velocities measured, mostly, with the Center for Astrophysics digital speedometers. For the hierarchical systems HIP 65026 (periods 49 and 1.23 yr) and HIP 85209 (periods 34 and 1.23 yr) we determined both the inner and the outer orbits using astrometry and radial velocities and measured the mutual orbit inclinations of 11.°3 ± 1.°0 and 12.°0 ± 3.°0, respectively. Four bright stars are resolved for the first time; two of those are triple systems. Several visual subsystems announced in the literature are shown to be spurious. We note that subsystems in compact hierarchies with outer separations less than 100 au tend to have less eccentric orbits compared to wider hierarchies.
Kinematic Detections of Protoplanets: A Doppler Flip in the Disk of HD 100546
Authors: Casassus Simon , Pérez Sebastián 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Protoplanets and circumplanetary disks are rather elusive in their thermal IR emission. Yet they are cornerstones to the most popular interpretations for the protoplanetary disk structures observed in the gas and dust density fields, even though alternative theories exist. The gaseous velocity field should also bear the imprint of planet–disk interactions, with non-Keplerian fine structure in the molecular-line channel maps. Such kinks or wiggles are affected by the optical depth structure and synthesis imaging limitations, but their detail could in principle be connected to the perturber by comparison with hydrodynamical simulations. These predictions appear to have been observed in HD 163296 and HD 97048, where the most conspicuous wiggles are interpreted in terms of embedded planets. The velocity centroid maps may allow for more robust indirect detections of embedded planets. The non-Keplerian velocity along the planetary wakes undergoes an abrupt sign reversal across the protoplanet. After subtraction of the disk rotation curve, the location of the perturber should be identifiable as a Doppler flip in velocity centroid maps. Here we improve our rotation curves in an extension to disks with intermediate inclinations, which we apply to deep and fine angular resolution CO isotopologue data sets. Trials in HD 163296 and in HD 97048 yield nondetections. However, in HD 100546 we pick up a conspicuous Doppler flip, an important part of which is likely due to radial flows. Its coincidence with a fine ridge crossing an annular groove inside the continuum ring suggests a complex dynamical scenario, in which the putative protoplanet might have recently undergone pebble accretion.
