Padronização do corante natural extraído à partir do urucum (Bixa orellana) e sua aplicação na histologia
Authors: Lopes Eliakim José de Souza , Machado Rodrigo Pereira , Mundim Fiorita Gonzales Lopes , Mendonça Adriana Rodrigues dos Anjos 
Published: January 2019

Introdução: A utilização de corantes naturais é uma prática bem antiga, tendo evidências de uso datando cerca de 20 mil anos, os quais foram extraídos de fontes diversas (animais, vegetais ou minerais). Na rotina laboratorial, a maior parte dos corantes utilizados nas técnicas de coloração normal ou patológica são sintéticos, muitas vezes de difícil preparo e de pouco tempo de estocagem, envolvendo componentes que, segundo testes toxicológicos e químicos, tem efeitos prejudiciais à saúde de quem trabalha com eles e ao meio ambiente quando descartados. Objetivo: Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar o emprego do corante natural extraído a partir do urucum (Bixa orellana L.) em colorações histológicas de tecidos animais, e padronizar os métodos de preparo e coloração, fazendo variações de quantia de matéria prima, pH e temperatura de coloração. Métodos: Através de análises espectrofotométricas de 24 grupos do corante com variáveis diferentes, e das microfotografias das lâminas dos grupos por um software (Image J), tentou-se determinar os melhores parâmetros para o preparo e coloração de lâminas histológicas com o corante de urucum. Resultados: a desidratação das sementes implica na qualidade do corante, visto que diminuiu os resultados de absorbância nas análises espectrofotométricas dos corantes, e a densidade óptica média na morfometria das lâminas. Conclusão: Pôde-se concluir que os melhores parâmetros são a utilização de 20g de sementes a cada 100mL de etanol 92,8º, sem adição de ácido acético, com coloração à temperatura ambiente, e que o urucum constitui um excelente substituto à eosina em colorações histológicas.
Grace Score Bias in Acute Coronary Syndrome Due to Use 1th, 2th Or Troponin Δ.
Authors: Martinez Victor , Teherán Aníbal Alfonso , González Gina , Hernández Juan Carlos , Caicedo Alejandra , Montoya Norma , Villamil Liliana 
Published: January 2019

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the first cause of mortality in Colombia. An erroneous risk stratification, in the emergency room (ER), affects the interventions performed and the rate of major cardiovascular adverse events. We measured the difference in GRACE score and stratification of coronary risk, by using the results of troponins measured sequentially during initial care.
Methods: With a retrospective descriptive design, clinical records of patients treated for precordial pain of ≥ intermediate probability for ACS were evaluated, without indication of immediate invasive management, attended in the ER of a clinic of the third level of Bogotá, during 2017. Determined the difference between the GRACE score calculated with the first (GRACE-1), second (GRACE-2) or troponin delta (GRACE-delta) [paired T-test], and the proportion of poorly stratified patients was measured when using the first troponin [X2, Z-score].
Results: 44 patients in a period of 6 months were identified. The majority men, older adults, middle age 73 years. The average (SD) of scores GRACE-1, GRACE-2 and GRACE-delta, was 114.14 (30.73), 115.55 (30.14) and 111.11 (28.79), respectively; when comparing GRACE-delta with GRACE-1 and GRACE-2 significant differences were identified (p: <0.05). Error in the stratification of coronary risk was identified in 10/44 patients (22.7%), and 9/44 (20.4%) presented over-stratification.
Conclusion: The stratification of coronary risk using the first troponin, unlike the troponin delta (item not clarified in the guidelines), evidenced an over-stratification in at least 20% of the patients, establishing the need for more invasive procedures and possibly longer hospital stay.

The Use of Foreign Forms to Circumvent Local Liability Rules
Authors: Flannigan Robert 
Published: January 2019

Liability assignments for wrongs committed within ajurisdiction are generally intended to apply equally to all local and foreign persons. Local liability policy, however, can be circumvented through the use of foreign legal forms. Both local and foreign persons may reduce their liability exposure by conducting their activities in the local jurisdiction through a foreign form that has been endowed by its jurisdiction of origin with a wider limitation of liability. The differences in liability exposure are often significant. They appear to be tolerated or embraced because they serve local commercial, professional, and governmental interests. Ultimately, the costs of the resultant elevated risk of loss are borne by local residents.
Covenant Marriage and the Conflict of Laws
Authors: Ng Lily 
Published: January 2019

Recently, three American stales introduced covenant marriage as a new form of marriage in response to the rising divorce rate. The author examines the threedistinguishing characteristics of covenant marriage that distinguish it from the current form of marriage offered in the United States and Canada. For the United States, the author canvasses the possibility of separating jurisdiction from choice of law. separating subject matter jurisdiction from personal jurisdiction, and recognition of the parties' intent, as three possible alternatives that non-covenant marriage states can utilize in order to respect the parties' intentions and the covenant marriage state's legislative intent. For Canada, the author canvasses the possibility that while Canada could take jurisdiction on the "ordinarily resident" basis, they may refuse jurisdiction on the basis of <i>forum non conveniens</i> or, alternatively, that they may apply the substantive law of the covenant marriage state on the basis that the Declaration of Intent signed by the parties represents an express choice of law clause.
Unique Public Duties of Care: Judicial Activism in the Supreme Court of Canada
Authors: Feldthusen Bruce 
Published: January 2019

Typically, government liability in tort depends on whether the government in question,
through legislation, has consented to be held liable for its otherwise tortious acts. However,
the Supreme Court of Canada has behaved in an activist manner by ignoring or eviscerating
this legislation, altering and expanding what governments can be held liable for. This article
explains how this process has occurred, providing five specific examples where unique
public duties of care were created. An open discussion is needed about whether the Supreme
Court ought to continue doing this and, if so, on what basis. This article starts that
discussion.
Technology help seeking and help giving in an intercultural community of student life
Authors: Tannis Derek 
Published: January 2019

This paper presents a particular aspect of ‘being online’: the embodied, lived experience of interacting with digital devices and computer screens, involving seeking and giving help to learn and teach skills and abilities that are often taken for granted in our “wired world”. The article includes analysis and reflection on a phenomenological study involving international students who arrived at their Canadian post-secondary institutions with limited or no background using computers and the Internet. This exploration leads to an enriched perspective on technology support and training. Meaningful, hands-on, task-oriented support is revealed as an ethical inter-subjective lived relation, experienced as reciprocity in an intercultural community of student life.
"My Body Can Do Magical Things" The Movement Experiences of a Man Categorized as Obese –A Phenomenological Study
Authors: Rugseth Gro , Standal Øyvind 
Published: January 2019

From a medical perspective, exercise and physical activity are valuable tools for losing weight, through an increase in energy expenditure. However, beyond this instrumental value, physical activity has meaning for the person experiencing it. Among individuals categorized as obese, that meaning is often problematic. The aim of this paper is to produce essential knowledge about one young man's embodied experiences of practicing martial art. Through a phenomenological analysis of research material concerning the young man’s passionate relationship to martial arts, we identify ways in which someone who has a body often regarded negatively, might still derive great pleasure from his movement experiences.
Feature Identification for Non-Intrusively Extracting Occupant Energy-Use Information in Office Buildings
Authors: Nabizadeh Rafsanjani Hamed 
Published: January 2019

Detailed energy-use information of office buildings’ occupants is necessary to implement proper simulation/intervention techniques. However, acquiring accurate occupant-specific energy consumption in office buildings at low cost is currently a challenging task since existing intrusive load monitoring (ILM) technologies require a large capital investment to provide high-resolution electricity usage data for individual occupants. On the other hand, non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) approaches have been proven as more cost effective and flexible approaches to provide energy-use information of individual appliances. Therefore, extending the concept of NILM to individual occupants would be beneficial. This paper proposes two occupancy-related energy-consuming features, delay interval and magnitude of power changes and evaluates their significances for extracting occupant-specific power changes in a non-intrusive manner. The proposed features were examined through implementing a logistic regression model as a predictor on aggregate energy load data collected from an office building. Hypotheses tests also confirmed that both features are statistically significant to non-intrusively derive individual occupants’ energy-use information. As the main contribution of this study, these features could be utilized in developing sophisticated NILM-based approaches to monitor individual occupant energy-consuming behavior.

Authors: Yang Yabing , Liu Meilin 
Published: January 2019

Objective: To observe the effects of Xuezhikang (red yeast rice) on blood lipids, blood rheology, and expression of P65 and tissue factor, and to explore the anti-atherosclerosis effect and related mechanisms of Xuezhikang (red yeast rice). Methods: 32 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, Xuezhikang treatment group, lovastatin treatment group and atherosclerosis model group (8 in each group). blood lipids, blood rheology, malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (t-AOc), and expression of aortic tissue factor (tF) and P65 were measured in each group. results: (1) Both Xuezhikang and lovastatin could reduce blood lipid levels, but there was no significant difference between the two groups; (2) Both Xuezhikang and lovastatin can improve the hemorheology of atherosclerotic rats, but the difference between the two groups is not signifcant; (3) Compared with lovastatin, Xuezhikang inhibited the expression of TF and P65 in aorta of rats with atherosclerosis; (4) Compared with lovastatin, the Xuezhikang group had lower MDA levels and higher T-AOC. Conclusion: Xuezhikang can improve blood lipid levels and hemorheology in rats with atherosclerosis. Compared with lovastatin, Xuezhikang has stronger effects on inhibiting oxidative stress and down-regulating the expression of tissue factor and P65.

Public Policies Between Theory and Practice
Authors: Gómez Arias Rubén Darío 
Published: January 2019

Objective: this Reflection paper intends to question some theoretical issues that cloud the practice and whose improvement could increase the social benefit of management.
Methodology: an interpretative and critical reflection was made on the social phenomenon of Public Policies (PP); thus, the analysis of some issues from the fundamental theoretical perspectives on the subject were taken into account such as the cited original sources. This reflection was particularly focused on five issues to help understand the rationality of PP and their performance: the formal issues, the actors, the contexts, the processes, and the results.
Results: It was found that in many social scenarios, including academic, the PPs are introduced as technocratic options that political leaders assume neutrally and rationally for the benefit of people. Although this concept is very interesting, it is ideological and far from reality. The PPs are political devices that were developed in late modernity to control the tangible and intangible resources of society, and, as such, they are administered by different subgroups in defense of their own interests. Unlike the aim of the official discourse, the PPs are not always decisions made in favor of public interests, rather they are changeable expressions of social conflicts between antagonistic groups fighting for their own benefit.
Conclusions: beyond technical matters, the PPs are political issues whose main characteristic comes from the particular interests of their defenders. The PPs have become a good opportunity to face and solve priority public problems.

Published: January 2019

The aim — to analyse the post‑operative results of treatment of patients with varicose disease after surgery with the endothermal method.Materials and methods. The research analysis covered 129 patients who underwent surgery for varicose disease of the great saphenous vein of C2–C6 class by CEAP for the period from 1.03.2016 to 12.09.2017. The average age of the patients was (43.4 ± 11.2) years. Among patients, women prevailed (76.1 %). CEAP class C2 was diagnosed in 39 (30.2 %) patients, C3 — in 47 (36.3 %) patients, C4 — in 21 (16.3 %) patients, C5 — in 9 (6.9 %) patients, C6 — in 13 (10 3 %) patients. The mean diameter of the great saphenous vein was determined by ultrasonographic examination in the vertical position of the patient. In the middle third part of the thigh, it was 0.9 ± 0.3 cm, in the area of the sapheno‑femoral anastomosis at the confluence of the vena epigastrica superficialis — 1.0 ± 0.2 cm.Results and discussion. The frequency of recanalization of the coagulated vein after 1 year was 4.6 %, recurrence of varicose disease — 8.3 %, skin irritation — 1.8 %, ecchymosis — 0.9 %, erythema — 0.9 %, hyperpigmentation — 1.8 %.Conclusions. The results obtained indicate a high efficiency of the endovasal laser coagulation method. Most of the complications are sporadic and do not significantly affect the overall satisfactory end result: the frequency of recanalization of the vein after one year was 4.6 %.

Authors: O. V. Petyunina  , M. P. Kopytsya  , A. E. Berezin  
Published: January 2019

The aim — to study the prognostic value of soluble ST2 regarding the development of pathological left ventricular remodeling (LVR) 6 months after acute ST‑ segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)Materials and methods. The study included 65 retrospectively selected patients with STEMI who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit of L. T. Malaya National Institute of Therapy of National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine for the period from January 2016 to June 2018 after myocardial revascularization. All patients had a recovery in TIMI III blood flow. Among the patients, men with a middle age 58.71 ± 11.04 years (83.1 %) prevailed. Ultrasound diagnosis with the determination of the longitudinal strain was conducted. The level of sST2 and N‑terminal cerebral natriuretic peptide was determined by ELISA. Patients were monitored for 6 months. According to the results of the re‑examination, two subgroups were identified, depending on the development of pathological LVR: in the first group, the increase in the endodiastolic LV volume was more than 10 % (n = 29), in the second — less than 10 % (n = 36).Results and discussion. Using ROC‑analysis, it was established that sST2 level > 35 ng/ml during the hospitalization period of STEMI is a predictor of pathological LVR 6 months after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (AUC = 0.672; 95 % confidence interval — 0.523 — 0.799, p = 0.0344, sensitivity — 46.7 %, specificity — 85.7 %). A single and multivariate log‑regression analysis revealed that sST2 > 35 ng/ml was an independent predictor of the development of late LVR.Conclusions. The serum sST2 level of more than 35 ng/ml in patients with STEMI after successful percutaneous coronary intervention with the bloodstream in the infarct‑dependent artery TIMI III is associated with abnormal LVR, which can be used to stratify its risk in this cohort of patients.
