Hypertension is one of the disease is not contagious diseases which is a public health problem. Uncontrolled Hypertension can trigger a degenerative diseases such as congestive heart failure, renal failure and vascular disease. Hypertension is called the silent killer because his nature the condition is asymptomatic and can cause a fatal stroke. With the increasing prevalence of cases of degenerative diseases, one only hypertension, then the researchers want to predict the variables very big role as one of the risk factors of Genesis hypertension. With clearly know the risk factors that play against genesis hypertension is expected to be used as a reference for the prevention and control so that they can reduce the prevalence of hypertension and prevent deaths from degenerative diseases, especially hypertension. The results of the study showed that the results of the modeling the prevalence of hypertension in South Kalimantan Province using linier regression there is no factor that affect the genesis of hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension spread spatially because there are heterogenitas between the location of the observation that means that observations of a location depends on the observations in another location that the distance is near so do spatial regression modeling with Adaptive Gaussian kernel function, meghasilkan 5 groups. Group I consists of the districts Tanah Laut and Tanah Bumbu; group II, Kota Baru; Group III consists of Banjar, Kota Banjar Baru, Kota Banjarmasin; Group IV on the Barito Kuala Regency and the Group V consists of Tapin, H S Selatan, H S Tengah, H S Utara, Tabalong, Balangan.

Published: December 2018

La educación básica es la encargada de consolidar las estructuras del sistema educativo. En gran parte del mundo los países han hecho esfuerzos importantes en materia de cobertura y en mayor medida aquellos orientados a mejorar su calidad. No obstante, cada vez más la calidad de la educación viene haciendo protagonista en los debates en este campo, desde los enfoques de desarrollo social y económico especialmente. De este modo, el presenta artículo de investigación muestra la relación de dichas políticas en España y Colombia, como una forma de reconocer elementos comunes y divergentes. El texto hace parte del proyecto de una amplia investigación titulada políticas de calidad de la educación básica primaria en Colombia (1994 – 2015) y utiliza como horizonte metodológico el paradigma cualitativo. Los resultados revelan que la calidad de la educación es un concepto asociado a las metas de aprendizaje, que desde el modelo de competencias se traduce en lo que se espera deba saber y saber hacer un estudiante luego de su escolaridad, lo cual debe ser evaluado a nivel interno y externo.

Este artigo apresenta o desempenho térmico de diferentes coberturas vegetadas aplicadas em um edifício de escritórios na cidade de Pelotas-RS, Zona Bioclimática Brasileira 2, observando, a partir do comportamento dos fechamentos opacos e transparentes, a contribuição das diferentes soluções vegetadas para o plano horizontal. O edifício condicionado artificialmente possui 187,50 m², configurando seis zonas térmicas, e foi simulado no software Energy Plus 8.4.0. Como alternativas às coberturas vegetadas – configuradas em quatro alturas de substrato – foram utilizados outros três modelos de cobertura: fibrocimento com laje de 10 cm em concreto – com e sem isolamento térmico de poliestireno extrudado – e fibrocimento com superfície externa pintada de branco. O estudo buscou determinar qual dessas coberturas é a mais eficiente energeticamente, através da avaliação dos resultados do consumo de energia e da análise do fluxo térmico no edifício. A cobertura vegetada de maior espessura de substrato (50 cm) apresentou melhor resultado, com consumo energético de 84,3 kWh/m2.ano. Já a cobertura de laje com telha de fibrocimento convencional foi responsável pelo maior dispêndio energético: 103,5 kWh/m2.ano. As coberturas vegetais apresentaram melhor desempenho que as demais em função das elevadas capacidade e resistência térmica e dos aspectos voltados a evapotranspiração e consequentes trocas de calor latente. Este trabalho almeja contribuir no melhor entendimento do desempenho termoenergético das coberturas vegetadas.

In Silico Identification of Conserved MiRNAs from Physcomitrella patens ESTs and their Target Characterization
Authors: Hajieghrari Behzad , Farrokhi Naser , Goliaei Bahram , Kavousi Kaveh 
Published: December 2018

Background:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are groups of small non-protein-coding endogenous
single stranded RNAs with approximately 18-24 nucleotides in length. High evolutionary sequence conservation
of miRNAs among plant species and availability of powerful computational tools allow identification
of new orthologs and paralogs.

Methods:
New conserved miRNAs in P. patens were found by EST-based homology search approaches.
All candidates were screened according to a series of miRNA filtering criteria. Unigene, DFCI Gene
Index (PpspGI) databases and psRNATarget algorithm were applied to identify target transcripts using
P. patens putative conserved miRNA sequences.

Results:
Nineteen conserved P. patens miRNAs were identified. The sequences were homologous to
known reference plant mature miRNA from 10 miRNA families. They could be folded into the typical
miRNA secondary structures. RepeatMasker algorithm demonstrated that ppt-miR2919e and pptmiR1533
had simple sequence repeats in their sequences. Target sites (49 genes) were identified for 7
out of 19 miRNAs. GO and KEGG analysis of targets indicated the involvement of some in important
multiple biological and metabolic processes.

Conclusion:
The majority of the registered miRNAs in databases were predicted by computational approaches
while many more have remained unknown. Due to the conserved nature of miRNAs in plant
species from closely to distantly related, homology search-based approaches between plants species
could lead to the identification of novel miRNAs in other plant species providing baseline information
for further search about the biological functions and evolution of miRNAs.
A Double Interaction Brush Model for Snow Conditions
Authors: Kusachov Artem , Bruzelius Fredrik , Hjort Mattias , Jacobson Bengt J. H. 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
Commonly used tire models for vehicle-handling simulations are derived from the assumption of a flat and solid surface. Snow surfaces are nonsolid and may move under the tire. This results in inaccurate tire models and simulation results that are too far from the true phenomena.
This article describes a physically motivated tire model that takes the effect of snow shearing into account. The brush tire model approach is used to describe an additional interaction between the packed snow in tire tread pattern voids with the snow road surface. Fewer parameters and low complexity make it suitable for real-time applications.
The presented model is compared with test track tire measurements from a large set of different tires. Results suggest higher accuracy compared with conventional tire models. Moreover, the model is also proven to be capable of correctly predicting the self-aligning torque given the force characteristics.

Authors: Zhou Haichao , Wang Guolin , Wang Yuming 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
The wide-base tire is a relatively new design that originated to replace dual tires because of its potential for improved performance. However, during the construction process, the wide-base tire is more likely to experience tread deformation and uneven stress distribution. The goal of this study is to incorporate numeric techniques for the construction and design optimization of a wide-base, heavy vehicle, pneumatic tire. First, four conditions of the tire (385/55R22.5)–building process, including gluing of components on the main drum, gluing of components on the auxiliary drum, green tire, and finalizing the capsule vulcanizing machine, were simulated using finite element analysis. Second, to solve the difference in the tire's (435/50R19.5) material distribution between the real manufactured structure and the theoretical structure, the curved surface drum-building method and the parameters of the curved surface drum were determined by tire construction simulation. In this article, we present the method for collecting tire material, the measurement process, the analysis method, some general results, and statistics on the wide-base tire. Finally, validation of results of the simulation and measurement are given.

Published: December 2018

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a visão dos assentados, moradores de um assentamento rural no Noroeste Paulista, sobre aspectos da atual estrutura sanitária e ambiental. Participaram desta pesquisa 22 famílias que foram entrevistadas utilizando um roteiro com questões para a coleta de dados em 2014 e 2015. Os resultados apontam que os assentados realizam, predominantemente, o descarte do esgoto doméstico em fossas sépticas e a queima dos resíduos sólidos. Utilizam o poço como meio para obtenção de água para consumo, sendo esta consumida sem prévio tratamento. Verificou-se que os assentados quase não possuem conhecimento sobre as doenças de veiculação hídrica e sobre as áreas de Reserva Legal e de Preservação Permanente existentes no assentamento estudado. Esses dados corroboram outros estudos realizados em assentamentos, representando uma grande problemática ambiental e social que precisa ser resolvida pelo poder público em conjunto com a sociedade. ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to analyze the view of settlers, residents of a rural settlement in the Northwest of São Paulo, on aspects of the current sanitary and environmental structure. Twenty-two families were interviewed using a questionnaire to collect data in 201 and 2015. The results indicate that the settlers predominantly do the disposal of domestic sewage in septic tanks and that they burn the solid waste. They use the well to obtain water for consumption, which is consumed without previous treatment. It was verified that the settlers haven´t knowledge about the waterborne diseases and about areas of Legal Reserve and Permanent Preservation existing in the studied settlement. These data corroborate other studies carried out in settlements, representing a great environmental and social problem that needs to be solved by the public power in conjunction with society.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
The wide variety of waveform in EEG signals and the high non-stationary nature of many of them is one of the main difficulties to develop automatic detection system for them. In sleep stage classification a relevant transient wave is the K-complex. This paper comprehend the developing of two algorithms in order to achieve an automatic K-complex detection from EEG raw data. These algorithms are based on a time-frequency analysis and two time-frequency techniques, the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), are tested in order to find out which one is the best for our purpose, being of two wavelet functions to measure the capability of them to detect K-complex and to choose one to be employed in the algorithms. The first algorithm is based on the energy distribution of the CWT detecting the spectral component of the K-complex. The second algorithm is focused on the morphology of the K-complex / sleep spindle waveform after the CWT. Evaluating the algorithms results reveals that a false K-complex detection is as important as real K-complex detection.
Voronoi diagrams – inventor, method, applications
Authors: Pokojski Wojciech , Pokojska Paulina 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The article presents the person and works of Georgy Voronoi (1868-1908), the inventor of an original method of diagrams, a student of the famous mathematician Andrey Markov. Georgy Voronoi graduated from the Department of Physics and Mathematics at the University of St. Petersburg, and subsequently worked as a professor of mathematics at the Imperial University of Warsaw. One of his students was the future outstanding Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński. In his brief lifetime G. Voronoi published several important scientific articles on number theory. In an almost 100 page paper in French published in 1908 he described a method of diagrams, or polygons, which became known as the method of Voronoi diagrams. In the digital age this method and its modifications found new applications. The entry “Voronoi” is getting more popular on the Internet, and the method of Voronoi diagrams and its modifications are widely described in handbooks and scientific articles. The article presents application of the method in the most popular computer programs from the Geographic Information System (GIS) group and presents examples of its usage in research on geographic space in various scientific disciplines.
Spatial Dimension of Czech Enterprise Support Policy: Where are Public Expenditures Allocated?
Authors: Novosák Jiří , Novosáková Jana , Hájek Oldřich , Koleňák Jiří 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The purpose of the present paper is to find whether the spatial distribution of enterprise support policy funds meet the spatial objectives stated in Czech strategic documents related to enterprise support policy. Are more funds allocated in lagging regions, and does enterprise support policy contribute more to the convergence objective, or are more funds allocated in core regions, and does enterprise support policy contribute more to the competitiveness objective? These questions are answered by evaluating the Structural (and Cohesion) Fund (SF) expenditures that were allocated on operations categorised as part of enterprise support policy (2007-2013). The dependent variable relates to 206 regions, and SF expenditures are calculated for every inhabitant of a region. Moreover, two types of SF operation are distinguished: (a) innovationoriented operations; and (b) other enterprise support operations. Three explanatory variables are defined using Principal Components Analysis (PCA), and these components are understood as: (1) the social disadvantage of regions; (2) the innovation environment of regions; and (3) the quality of regional entrepreneurial environments. The associations between the dependent and explanatory variables are subsequently evaluated by methods of correlation and regression analysis. The findings provide some evidence for both the convergence and competitiveness objectives. Nevertheless, this evidence is rather limited due to a low spatial concentration of SF allocation, and the compensatory effect between the two thematic types of SF operations. Hence, while the quality of their innovation environment has a positive influence on regional SF allocation regardless of the thematic focus of SF operations, socially disadvantaged regions received more funds for SF operations which are not innovation-oriented. The capacity of potential beneficiaries to prepare and submit many project proposals for SF co-financing is the main reason for high or low SF allocation.
Loose Monetary Policy and Corporate Investment of Manufacturing Firms in the Czech Republic
Authors: Kajurová Veronika , Linnertová Dagmar 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to evaluate the effects of loose monetary policy on corporate investment of manufacturing firms in the Czech Republic during the period between 2006 and 2015. The main focus of the paper is on the effect of low interest rates on investment activity of Czech firms; additionally, the effects of interactions between interest rate and other firm-specific variables are investigated. The results indicate that corporate investment is positively associated with firm size, investment opportunities, and long term debt. Also, a negative effect of the cash position is found. Further, the findings show that monetary policy is a significant determinant of firm investment activity: when the monetary policy is loose, investment is positively affected. Furthermore, differences in the determinants of investment between highly and low leveraged firms were revealed.
Selected Issues from the Dark Side of the General Data Protection Regulation
Authors: Cvik Eva Daniela , Pelikánová Radka MacGregor , Malý Michal 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of personal data (GDPR) was enacted in 2016 and applies from 25thMay 2018 in the entire EU. The GDPR is a product of an ambitious reform and represents a direct penetration of the EU law into the legal systems of the EU member states. The EU works on the enhancement of awareness about the GDPR and points out its bright side. However, the GDPR has its dark side as well, which will inevitably have a negative impact. Hence, the goal of this paper is twofold - (i) to scientifically identify, forecast, and analyze selected problematic aspects of the GDPR and its implementation, in particular for Czech municipalities, and (ii) to propose recommendations about how to reduce, or even avoid, their negative impacts. These theoretic analyses are projected to a Czech case study focusing on municipalities, which offers fresh primary data and allows a further refining of the proposed recommendations. An integral part of the performed analyses is also a theoretic forecast of expenses linked to the GDPR, which municipalities will have to include in their mandatory expenses and mid-term prognostic expectations regarding the impact on the budgets of these municipalities from Central Bohemia. The GDPR, like Charon, is at the crossing, the capacity and knowledge regarding its application is critical for operating in the EU in 2018. It is time both to admit that the GDPR has its dark side and to present real and practical recommendations about how to mitigate it.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Introduction. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the factors which can lead to a chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. There have been several reports on the association of oral lichen planus with hepatic disorders, i.e. hepatitis C infection in particular. Considering the controversies about the association of lichen planus with HCV infection on one hand and considerable impact of hepatitis C on the occurrence of chronic liver disease on the other hand, we investigated the association between lichen planus and HCV infection in Sanandaj City. Methods. This cross sectional study included 168 patients with lichen planus, who were referred to the Dermatology Clinic of Besat Hospital between 2014 and 2016. The diagnosis of lichen planus was made by our dermatologist and HCV antibody titer was determined for every patient. Results. Mean age of the patients was 39.7±13.3 years and mean duration of the disease was 14.8 months. 107 (63.7%) patients were men. The highest frequency of lichen planus was recorded in the housewives (30.4%). In 52 (31%) patients the genital area was involved and it was the most common site. In 6 (3.6%) patients the oral mucosa was involved and it was the least common site in our study. Only 4 (2.7%) patients had family history of lichen planus. None of 168 patients included in this study was found to have HCV infection. Conclusion. In this study, we found no relationship between lichen planus and HCV infection. Yet, the exact mechanism underlying the occurrence of lichen planus in the patients with HCV infection has not been determined. Therefore more studies on this subject are recommended.
