<em>Distribution and transportation are very vital for the company business beverages that must distribute its products to many areas of the consumer, for example is a bottled tea company. A good distribution plan and an optimum route would decrease cost and time for distributing the products. In a real case study for a bottled tea in Surakarta area, the fluctuating demand of consumers cannot be ensured and these mismatches by a salesman that should be based on the distribution plan and the realization of visit (RRK) resulted in the absence schedule. Therefore, it is required an optimum route to help the salesman in doing RRK or distribution without ignoring predetermined targets. There is a settlement solution will be more orderly preparation of these are using a Clark and Wright Saving Heuristic method. The method is able to assist the performance of salesmen and cost savings in the delivery of Surakarta area. In this paper, we have presented a real cases vehicle routing based on Clark-Wright algorithm to solve the open vehicle routing problem (OVRP) of bottled tea distribution in Surakarta District. We have modified the Clark Wright algorithm with three procedures composed of Clark and Wright formula. The methods of swap, 2 OPT and 3-OPT were used to improve our best solution in shortest route and the cheapest cost of distribution.</em>
Comparison of Intermediate to Long-Term Outcomes of Total Ankle Arthroplasty in Ankles with Preoperative Varus, Valgus, and Neutral Alignment
Authors: Lee Gun-Woo , Wang Shao-Hua , Lee Keun-Bae 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Preoperative ankle coronal malalignment has been considered as a risk factor for poor outcomes and failure after total ankle arthroplasty. The present study evaluated whether intermediate to long-term outcomes of total ankle arthroplasty in ankles with preoperative varus and valgus malalignment (5° to 20°) are comparable with those with neutral alignment (<5°).

Methods:
We enrolled 144 consecutive ankles that underwent primary total ankle arthroplasty (140 patients) using a mobile-bearing HINTEGRA prosthesis with a minimum follow-up of 4 years; the mean overall follow-up duration was 89 months (51 to 145 months). We divided all patients into 3 groups according to the preoperative coronal plane tibiotalar angle: the varus group (59 ankles, 5° to 20° of varus), the valgus group (34 ankles, 5° to 20° of valgus), and the neutral group (51 ankles, <5°). Patients in each group showed similar characteristics in mean age, sex, body mass index, and follow-up period.

Results:
The mean Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale pain and disability score, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot score, Short Form-36 Physical Component Summary score, visual analog scale pain score, and ankle range of motion did not differ meaningfully among the 3 groups at the final follow-up. The final tibiotalar angle showed that the degree of coronal alignment of the varus group was significantly less corrected compared with the neutral group (p = 0.010). The varus group had significantly more concomitant procedures (42 procedures [71.2%]) compared with the neutral group (p = 0.003). The prevalence of major complications did not differ among the 3 groups (p = 0.124). The overall probability of implant survivorship was 91.1% (97.7% in the varus group, 81.1% in the valgus group, and 90.9% in the neutral group) at a mean follow-up of 7.3 years.

Conclusions:
In the intermediate to long-term follow-up, mobile-bearing total ankle arthroplasty showed similarly good outcomes in patients with varus and valgus malalignment up to 20° compared with the neutral alignment group when neutrally aligned ankles were achieved postoperatively.

Published: May 2018

Background:
Dysphagia and dysphonia are common complications after anterior cervical spine surgery; however, reported prevalences vary greatly due to a lack of reliable clinical standards for measuring postoperative swallowing and speech dysfunction. The Hospital for Special Surgery Dysphagia and Dysphonia Inventory (HSS-DDI) was developed as a patient-derived, patient-reported instrument to measure dysphagia and dysphonia more accurately after anterior cervical spine surgery than existing indices.

Methods:
This multiphase survey-development study implemented a mixed-methods approach. Phase 1 involved qualitative assessment of postoperative patient-reported swallowing or speaking deficiencies to assemble a draft survey. Phase 2 established test-retest reliability and finalized the 31-item HSS-DDI. Phase 3 compared the HSS-DDI with the Swallowing-Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire and the M.D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) for validity and responsiveness.

Results:
Phase 1, performed to formulate the draft survey, included 25 patients who were asked about speech and swallowing dysfunction after anterior cervical spine surgery involving at least 3 vertebral levels. Phase 2 included 49 patients who completed the draft survey twice. The mean scores (and standard deviation) for each administration of the HSS-DDI were 67 ± 24 and 75 ± 22, the Cronbach alpha coefficients were both 0.97, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.80. The 31-item HSS-DDI was finalized with all but 2 items having weighted kappa values of ≥0.40. Phase 3 included 127 patients and established external validity, with most correlation coefficients between the HSS-DDI and the SWAL-QOL and MDADI ranging from 0.5 to 0.7. Internal validity was established by identifying worsening HSS-DDI scores with increases in the number of vertebral levels involved (p = 0.02) and in the Surgical Invasiveness Index (p = 0.006). HSS-DDI responsiveness ascertained by effect size (0.73) was better than that of the SWAL-QOL and MDADI. The average administration time for the HSS-DDI was 2 minutes and 25 seconds.

Conclusions:
The HSS-DDI is efficient, valid, and more responsive to change after anterior cervical spine surgery than existing surveys.

Clinical Relevance:
The HSS-DDI fills a gap in postoperative assessment by providing a reliable, more clinically sensitive, patient and condition-specific evaluation of dysphagia and dysphonia prospectively and longitudinally.

The Effects of Polymorphism on Physicochemical Properties and Pharmacodynamics of Solid Drugs
Authors: Zhou Yanan , Wang Jingkang , Xiao Yan , Wang Ting , Huang Xin 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Nowadays, the polymorphism of solid materials plays important roles in pharmaceutical
field, food industry, fine chemicals and so on. Due to the differences in crystal structure, different polymorphs of
a given solid drug show different physicochemical characteristics, which may lead to different drug bioavailability
and half-life of the drug. Studies about polymorphism of solid drugs have become an indispensable important
component in dosage form design, approval, production and quality control of drugs.

Methods:
In order to reveal the dissimilarity between polymorphs, the classification approach of polymorphism
and the features of each category are outlined and discussed in this paper. The influence of polymorphism on
physicochemical characteristics of solid drugs such as powder property, melting point, enthalpy of fusion, dissolution
behavior and stability are discussed in detail. Furthermore, a variety of differences in drug bioavailability
and curative effect of polymorphs are also summarized and discussed.

Results:
Due to the differences in internal crystalline structure, different polymorphs of the same solid drugs
generally show different physicochemical properties, including powder property, melting point, enthalpy of fusion,
dissolution behavior and stability. Furthermore, different polymorphs of solid drugs often exert a diverse
curative effect.

Conclusion:
As one of the significant factors to affect the quality and curative effect of solid drugs, polymorphism
of drug substances has been investigated in the pharmaceutical field for over 50 years. Considerable studies
indicate that comprehensive understanding of polymorphism is important for development, dosage form design,
approval, production, quality control and curative effect of solid drugs.
The Effect of Different Roasting Durations on the Acrylamide Concentrations in the Arabic Coffee Beverages
Authors: Alshawi Amal H. 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Acrylamide is the most powerful carcinogenic and neurotoxic compound
widely distributed in thermally processed foods. This compound is formed during early stages of
roasting processes of coffee beans through Millard reaction between reducing sugars and asparagine.
Due to the huge consumption of coffee throughout the globe, it has been considered as the major dietary
source of this dangerous compound. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effect of roasting
conditions on sugars and acrylamide contents in the Arabic coffee beans and beverages.

Methods:
Arabic coffee beans were roasted at 125°C for 30 to 60 min, ground to powders, brewed in
boiling water for 20 min and then analysed for sugars and acrylamide contents.

Results:
Roasting conditions significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reduced the content of both reducing and nonreducing
sugars compared to untreated samples. Increasing roasting duration to 40 min significantly
(P ≤ 0.05) increased the acrylamide concentration values to the maximum, whereas extending the duration
over 40 min (P ≤ 0.05) reduced the acrylamide concentration of coffee beans and beverages.

Conclusion:
The present study confirms that the process of roasting coffee beans is a significant factor
in the formation of acrylamide in Arabic coffee powders and beverages.

Published: May 2018

Introduction:
Lactate Minimum Test (LMT) identifies a sustainable exercise intensity, in
which an equilibrium is observed between production and clearance of blood lactate and the hormone
influence during this physiological moment.

Objective:
The present study aimed to identify the levels of LM and hormones after caffeine consumption
and exercise Stress Test (ST) in diabetic rats.

Methods:
This study was composed of 24 animals, of 60 days, allocated into four groups: Control, Diabetic,
Caffeine, and Diabetes+Caffeine. The Diabetes model was induced by intraperitoneal administration
of 120 mg/kg of alloxan. On the test day, 6 mg/kg of caffeine were administrated 30 minutes
before the exercise Stress Test (ST) protocol. During the ST animals underwent a Stress Test (ST), in
which they performed forced swimming (until exhaustion) tie to loads of 13% Body’s Weight (BW).
The incremental phase of LM began with an initial load of 4% Body’s Weight (BW) and increased
0.5% every 5 min. Lactate concentration was measured 5, 7 and 9 min (mmol/L) after ST. The Incremental
Progressive Test (IPT) involved swimming with loads of 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, and 7.0% of
BW, for 5min with each. Blood samples were collected by a caudal puncture to subsequent lactate and
hormone assay.

Results:
Performance time and lactate concentration of hyperlactatemia test, as well as Lactate Minimum
(LM) and Lactate (LAC) concentration after the progressive test presented a significant difference
when comparing the levels of the control group with caffeine and diabetic group (p<0.05).

Conclusion:
It is suggested that caffeine improves lactate clearance and hormonal steady state condition
of diabetic animals after hyperlactacidemia and physical exercise maintenance.

Abstract
The Integrated Zone Comparison Technique (IZCT) was utilized with computerized polygraph instrumentation and the Academy for Scientific Investigative Training’s Horizontal Scoring System ASIT PolySuite algorithm, as part of a blind study in the detection of deception. This paper represents a synergy analysis of combining fMRI only deception data with each of the three individual physiological parameters that are used in polygraph. They include the electro-dermal response (EDR), pneumo, and cardio measurements. In addition, we compared the detection accuracy analysis using each single parameter by itself. The fMRI score and each individual polygraph parameter score on individual subjects were averaged to establish an overall score.
The Application of the Markowitz’s Model in Efficient Portfolio Forming on the Capital Market in the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Radović Milica , Radukić Snežana , Njegomir Vladimir 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The characteristics of the developing market to which the Serbian market belongs are: illiquidity, low turnover and nontransparency. The aim of this paper is to examine the possibility of application of the Markowitz's model for forming the set of efficient portfolios on the capital market in Serbia. The research is based on previous theoretical and empirical research in the world. Statistical methods of determining return and risk, matrix of variances and covariances for liquid shares have been applied. Portfolio optimization has been conducted by add-in programme Solver included in the Microsoft Excel package, respecting the limitations according to Markowitz's model. The results of the analysis have shown that the set of efficient portfolios, which meets the criterion that they give minimal risk for the given return, can be formed on the capital market in Serbia. The results show that Markowitz's model allows the investors to select the efficient portfolio, but only for liquid shares, depending on the risk they are ready to accept. The findings of this paper indicate that expressive illiquidity on the Serbian market and insufficient number of shares for diversification by sectors make the practical application of the research results difficult.
