Authors: BORAN Filiz , KARAKAYA Çiğdem 
Published: September 2019

Within this study, Polyvinyl alcohol/CuO nanocomposite hydrogels were synthesized through dispersing CuO nanoparticles in a PVA solution, using the freeze-thawing procedure in order for physically crosslinking. The average particle size of CuO nanoparticles which was added to the hydrogel was determined as 3.51 nm according to the XRD analysis after the ball milling process. The presence of CuO nanoparticles in nanocomposite hydrogels was determined by UV-vis spectroscopy, FESEM, EDS, and FTIR analysis. Also, the rheological properties of neat hydrogel and PVA/CuO nanocomposite hydrogels were examined. The addition of CuO nanoparticles to the polymer structure develops rheological features of PVA hydrogels. The Effect of CuO content of nanocomposite hydrogels on the swelling behavior and long term stability was investigated. These nanocomposite hydrogels demonstrated unique properties for biomedical applications due to their high swellability at pH 2.1 as the pH values of the stomach and long term stability. According to these results, the addition of CuO to the hydrogel structure improved the swelling characteristics of neat PVA hydrogel.

Authors: Rathore Bhumika , Sagarkar Anitha R. , Krishnappa Pushpanjali 
Published: September 2019

Introduction:
Several limitations of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) (DMF surfaces [DMFS]) have been addressed with the introduction of new composite indicators such as filled and sound teeth (FS-T) and T-health. These indices not only reflect the determinants of oral health but also reveal the utilization of health services and help in planning health programs.

Objectives:
The objectives of this study were to assess the dentition status and extract DMFT, DMFS, FS-T, and T-health scores and to determine which of the four would represent the dentition status of a population.

Basic Research Design:
A cross-sectional study was planned to collect data through probability proportionate sampling. Participants: Two hundred and forty-one individuals aged between 35–44 years old residing in Bangalore city. Sociodemographic data were collected and oral examination of subjects was done to obtain the scores for DMFT, DMFS, FS-T, and T-health indices. Data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS version 19.

Results:
DMFS index showed maximum variance of 8.5% followed by T-health index which was 7.7%. FS-T showed the variance of 7.2%. Among the individual components, missing teeth component and sound functional teeth showed the maximum variance of 7.6% and 7.1%, respectively.

Conclusion:
DMFS as an indicator of dentition status is more sensitive than the other three compared indices in identifying sociodemographic factors, utilization of health services by a population, and perceptions about oral health as determinants of oral health.

Published: September 2019

In Colombia, the blue land crab Cardisoma guanhumi faces two main threats: extraction and habitat loss. This project aims to show an approximation of the growth parameters of C. guanhumi in protected areas within the Magdalena department. Individuals were captured monthly from May to October 2016 in five localities in the Tayrona National Natural Park (PNNT) and the Salamanca Island Road Park (VIPIS). A total of 816 crabs were collected, each of which was measured, weighed, sexed and released. Both sexes showed a negative allometric length-to-weight ratio. Using the FiSAT II program's ELEFAN I routine, the size frequencies obtained were analyzed in order to determine the growth parameters for 1) the department, considering gender, and 2) the PNNT, where the data from VIPIS wasexcluded. The asymptotic carapace width was higher for males (109.16 mm) than for females (96.74 mm), but the growth coefficient (K) was higher for females (0.19 year-1) than for males (0.15 year-1). Growth performance indexes were similar: 3.252 for males and 3.250 for females. The FISAT II length converted catch curve routine was used to calculate the total (Z), natural (M), and fishing (F) mortalityrates, as 0.41, 0.36, and 0.05 year-1 respectively. The grow coefficient K was higher for the PNNT (0.29 year-1) than for the Magdalena department (0.15 year-1), thus, longevity was lower for the PNNT (tmax= 10.42 years) compared to the department (tmax= 20.06 years). Ingeneral terms, the C. guanhumi population in the study area is longevous, slow growing, with low extraction morality. The data obtained in this work are important in the management of this species, as its slow growth makes it vulnerable to overfishing.
Variación a largo término (2002-2016) en la densidad y composición del mesozooplancton indica cambio de régimen en isla Margarita (Venezuela)
Authors: Gomez Gaspar Alfredo 
Published: September 2019

In the east of Margarita Island (Venezuela), the composition and density of mesozooplankton were studied for 15 years (2002 to 2016) in two fixed stations five miles from the coast. Samples (total 655) collected biweekly by hauls using net with a diameter of 1.7 m and a length of 3.5 m (mesh size of 400 microns) towed horizontally at a depth of 10 to 15 m for 20 minutes. The abundance of the main planktonic groups (21) was estimated by their density (ind/m3) by direct counting. In 13 groups: copepods, cladocerans, sergestoids Lucifer, brachyurans zoea, chaetognaths, mollusk larvae, cirripede larvae, penaeid mysis, pteropods and in the gelatinous plankton (salps,appendicularians, jellyfish, siphonophores) during the periods 2002-2004 and 2014-2016, lower values of annual density and representation were found, while in 2005-2013 the values were notoriously higher. The sardine eggs deviate from the indicated trend, since they were more abundant in years 2002-2004 and 2014-2016 and were lower in density between 2005 and 2013. This trend was more notable in its representation (%) in mesozooplankton. Due to the greater abundance of 13 zooplankton groups and their total density, it is confirmed that a regime shift occurred affecting ecosystem services such as sardine fishing, generating an approximately 10-year long crisis.

Published: September 2019

Este artigo pretende fazer uma reflexão sobre os desafios interculturais e educacionais para um turismo sustentável, que favoreçam a integração de práticas educativas inclusivas. O intercultural implica relação, diálogo e comunicação entre as diferentes culturas, através dos indivíduos e grupos, na qual se encontram e interagem indivíduos, grupos e instituições originários de universos diferentes. Implica uma troca entre as diversas áreas do conhecimento, cujos olhares interdisciplinares sejam capazes de levar as organizações a desenvolverem propostas de educação voltadas para a inclusão, buscando interagir conceitos de interculturalidade, educação intercultural e turismo sustentável. Porém há uma lacuna de produções que visam explicitar a relação entre educação e turismo sustentável, elemento motivador deste estudo, realizando pesquisa bibliográfica nas bibliotecas da Fundação Visconde de Cairu e da Universidade do Porto. É importante o diálogo dessas relações, numa perspectiva de interdisciplinaridade e de sustentabilidade, fazendo com que a atividade turística seja geradora de efeitos positivos sobre as populações e economias locais, a proteção do ambiente, a preservação da cultura e tradição e a utilização racional de recursos naturais. Estas reflexões teóricas sinalizam para a necessidade de comunicação entre as diferentes culturas, em especial na educação e no turismo, com ênfase na interculturalidade, à luz da revisão da literatura sobre o assunto, na perspectiva de uma sociedade mais igualitária e sustentável.
Protecting the Right to Privacy in China
Authors: Jingchun Cao 
Published: September 2019

This article suggests the Chinese government should establish systematic legal protection for personal privacy in China. First, a brief introduction to the history of the concept of privacy in China is given. Based on the definition of privacy in the Western world, the modern concept of privacy has been absorbed by Chinese scholars and defined according to Chinese norms. During this process, the subjects and objects of the right to privacy have been chosen and the distinctions between the right to privacy, the right of reputation and the right to know have been made clear. This article considers that it is most important to recognise the right to privacy as an independent right both in the Constitution and Civil Code. Depending on the impact of the breach of privacy, liability for civil or criminal punishment should attach. Besides these measures, a specific data protection law is also essential.

Published: September 2019

Background: Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) has a significant positive correlation with poor glycemic
control (HbA1c ≥7%). The clinical, biochemical and electrophysiological parameters of DPN in Bangladeshi citizens have not yet been explored elaborately
Objective: The purpose of the study was to detect and categorize status of glycemic control of Bangladeshi people and to analyze its impact on clinical severity of DPN using Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS) and electrophysiological severity by modified Michigan diabetic neuropathy score (MDNS).
Methodology: This observational study was carried out on diabetic patients having probable DPN by purposive sampling, attending Neurology OPD of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh and Bangladesh Institute of Research & Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine & Metabolic Disorder (BIRDEM) Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2014 to June 2016. Clinical parameters were recorded and DPN was graded as “no neuropathy”, “mild”, “moderate” and “severe” neuropathy by the Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS). A standard nerve conduction study was performed on each patient and electrophysiological grading according to modified Michigan diabetic neuropathy score (MDNS) was done. Diabetic status of patients was classified into “controlled” (HbA1c <7.0%) and “uncontrolled” (HbA1c ≥7.0%) groups and HbA1c level and the clinical & electrophysiological severity scores were compared and were analyzed.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 57.2±9.37 years. 51.0% cases were males and 49% cases were females. The mean HbA1c in the study population was 7.6±0.94% and 56.0% patients had HbA1c≥ 7% .Motor nerve conduction studies revealed that both CMAP amplitudes and MNCV in the ulnar, peroneal and tibial nerves were reduced significantly in patients of uncontrolled (HbA1c≥7%) DM (p<0.001). Sensory nerve conduction studies revealed significant reduction in SNAP amplitudes of median and ulnar sensory and sural nerves in the uncontrolled group (p<0.001). Electrophysiologically, 65.43% patients had mixed sensory-motor neuropathy (p<0.00001). Clinically severe DPN patients were higher (45.2%) within the uncontrolled (HbA1C ≥7%) group (p<0.00001). Similarly, severity in electrophysiological grading was more in patients with uncontrolled DM (48.8%) (p<0.00001).
Conclusions: Neuropathic severity, either clinically or electrophysiologically, was associated with higher values of HbA1c.

ABSTRACT
The essence of the SIKERJA application is to improve the quality of work. Before the SIKERJA application as actually implemented, a trial period of around 6 (six) months was carried out, at the beginning of 2017, SIKERJA was officially put in place to accommodate performance achievement through the SIKERJA application has not been implemented in accordance with expectations. Therefore, strategies and steps to improve performance and application are needed to be effective and increase work output and value of application functions so that the rapid development of information technology can be maximized for the benefit of the organization in an effort to improve ASN performance. The Six indicators that will be carried ot in the implementation of a performance improvement strategy include: quality, quantity, teamwork, creativity, innovation, initiative.The results of the study explain that SIKERJA application still needs to be updated because the ASN performance data has not been accommodated. In the renewal of the application is also needed a periodic discussion to collect information and find solutions to a problem that occurs. Effective work minutes that have been set have been adjusted to the workload and job targets that must be achieved so that employees who do not achieve the working minutes are required to get strict sanctions. SIKERJA Verifiers are also expected to work optimally so that SIKERJA input can be more controlled and controlled in accordance with the prevailing corridors. The method of research with qualitative and exploratory approach is more appropriate to be used in analyzing a variety of realities that are more complete and to explore the actual informations in analyzing of the six indicators.

Metrological aspects of pre-flight anti-icing procedures for civil aircraft
Authors: Богоявленский А. , Bogoyavlenskiy A. 
Published: September 2019

Snow-ice deposits formed on the outer surfaces of aircrafts on the ground during parking can have a negative impact during
take-off due to the deterioration of aerodynamic and flight performance, a significant and even critical decrease in lift, increased
drag, blocking controls, difficulty or blocking of landing gear retraction, damage to the blades of inlet guide vanes and/or the
blades of an engine compressor. To exclude the influence of snow and ice deposits, anti-icing treatment is performed, including
their removal and/or protection from subsequent formation. For this purpose, special anti-icing machines (deicers), equipped with
such means of instrumental control as counters of anti-icing fluid pumps, measuring scales of anti-icing fluid tanks, thermometers
and pressure gauges for temperature and pressure measuring at the outlet of a spray nozzle, are used. The article deals with the
metrological aspects of civil aircrafts anti-icing prior to flight.
