Background
Despite a growing interest in the use of technology in order to support the treatment of psychotic disorders, limited knowledge exists about the viability and acceptability of these eHealth interventions in relation to the clinical characteristics of patients.

Objective
The objective of this study was to assess the access and use of, as well as experiences and interest in, new technologies using a survey of patients diagnosed with early psychosis compared with a survey of patients diagnosed with chronic psychotic disorders.

Methods
We designed a structured questionnaire. This questionnaire was divided into five parts: (1) clinical and demographic information, (2) access and use of the internet, (3) use of the internet in relation to mental health, (4) experiences with technology, and (5) patients’ interest in eHealth services. In total, 105 patients were recruited from early psychosis units (n=65) and recovery units (n=40).

Results
In this study, 84.8% (89/105) of the patients had access to the internet and 88.6% (93/105) owned an electronic internet device. In total, 71.3% (57/80) of patients who owned a mobile phone were interested in eHealth systems and 38.2% (37/97) reported negative experiences related to the internet usage. We observed differences between the groups in terms of device ownership (P=.02), the frequency of internet access (P<.001), the use of social media (P=.01), and seeking health information (P=.04); the differences were found to be higher in the early psychosis group. No differences were found between the groups in terms of the use of internet in relation to mental health, experiences and opinions about the internet, or interest in eHealth interventions (P=.43).

Conclusions
The availability and use of technology for the participants in our survey were equivalent to those for the general population. The differences found between the groups in relation to the access or use of technology seemed to due to age-related factors. The use of technology involving mental health and the interest in eHealth interventions were mainly positive and equivalent between the groups. Accordingly, this group of patients is a potential target for the emerging eHealth interventions, regardless of their clinical status. However, 28.7% (23/80) of the studied patients rejected the use of internet interventions and 38.2% (37/97) had unpleasant experiences related to its usage; thus, more in-depth studies are needed to better define the profile of patients with psychosis who may benefit from eHealth treatments.

The school library is not yet a favorite place for elementary school students. Many factors have contributed to this, among other the types of books available, unreliable library time, non-permanent librarians, even the scorn of friends who think of reading in the library as behavior that pretending to diligent. Many factors have contributed to this, such as the types of books available, unreliable library time, non-permanent librarians, even the scorn of friends who think of reading in the library as pretending to be diligent and smart, which cause students to be reluctant to regularly visit the library. Hence, classroom teachers need to reaffirm the library functions and persuade students to visit and utilize facilities in the library. This article presents the evaluation results of students attitude after receiving information about the library described by the classroom teacher. The method used in this study was descriptive study, with fourth-grade students of an elementary primary school as the object, data collection techniques used questionnaires, and data analysis used a single tabulation based on quantitative data. The results showed that students had a better attitude toward school libraries, from the cognitive aspects were such as knowledge, trust, and assessment, and the affective as well as conative aspects. Therefore, it is expected that schools through the classroom teacher can intensively spread information about the function of school libraries, and improve library facilities and services to the students, so they are accustomed to using the library as a first step in forming the love-literacy generation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the contribution of antirotational pins (ARPs) and an intact fibula to the compressive strength of 4 tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) constructs (bone and implants).
SAMPLE 20 hind limbs from 10 canine cadavers.
PROCEDURES Each hind limb was assigned to 1 of 4 TPLO constructs (construct in which the ARP was removed, constructs in which 1 or 2 ARPs were left in place, and construct in which the ARP was removed and the fibula was cut). Following TPLO completion, all limbs underwent mechanical testing that included 10,000 cycles of cyclic axial compression followed by testing to failure at a displacement rate of 1 mm/s. Displacement during cyclic testing; load generated at 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 mm of displacement; ultimate load; and failure type were recorded for each limb. Mean values were compared among the groups.
RESULTS None of the specimens failed during cyclic testing. None of the variables assessed during mechanical testing differed significantly among the 4 groups. During testing to failure, the majority (17/20) of specimens failed as the result of a long oblique fracture through the first screw hole in the distal segment.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that the axial compressive strength and stiffness of a TPLO construct were not significantly affected by the addition of 1 or 2 ARPs or the presence of an intact fibula. These findings appear to support removal of ARPs during uncomplicated TPLOs, but further research is warranted to assess the effect of ARP removal on bone healing and complication rates.
Effects of magnesium sulfate infusion on clinical signs and lung function of horses with severe asthma

Published: May 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether MgSO4 solution administered IV would improve the clinical signs and lung function of horses with severe asthma and potentiate the effects of salbutamol inhalation in those horses.
ANIMALS 6 adult horses with severe asthma.
PROCEDURES Asthmatic horses were used in 3 crossover design experiments (6 treatments/horse). Clinical scores for nasal flaring and the abdominal component associated with breathing and lung function were determined before and after administration of salbutamol (800 μg, by inhalation), MgSO4 solution (2.2 mg/kg/min, IV, over 20 minutes), and combined MgSO4-salbutamol treatment. The data were collected during experimental procedures to assess salbutamol inhalation versus mock inhalation, MgSO4 infusion versus infusion of saline (NaCl) solution (adjusted to the same osmolarity as the MgSO4 solution), and the combined MgSO4-salbutamol treatment versus salbutamol inhalation alone.
RESULTS Infusion of MgSO4 significantly improved clinical scores when administered alone or in combination with salbutamol inhalation. With the combination treatment, lung function improved, albeit not significantly. Tidal volume also increased following combined MgSO4-salbutamol treatment. Salbutamol alone significantly improved lung function, whereas saline solution administration and a mock inhalation procedure had no effect on the studied variables.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that MgSO4 infusion alone or in combination with salbutamol inhalation improved the clinical signs of severely asthmatic horses. The effects of MgSO4 were not associated with significant lung function improvement, which suggested that the changes observed were attributable to alterations in the horses' breathing patterns. Infusion of MgSO4 solution at the studied dose offers little advantage over currently used medications for the treatment of severe equine asthma.

Summary
The aim of the research was to find out the realization of the physical activity among the middle-aged adults by the association with their health, retrospective of the factor contributing to the transfer of the physical activity to the adulthood. The monitored group consisted of 742 respondents of the middle-aged adults from the Southern Districts of Slovakia, of which 403 were the women (age = 37.2 ± 3.04 years) and 339 were the men (age = 36.5 ± 4.54 years) as the selection was deliberate. The monitoring was conducted by the three stages in 2014, through the so-called “Egészség és mozgás” - “Health and Movement” standardized, anonymous questionnaire, which consisted of 60 questions. Our findings point to the stated facts. The findings found the relationship between the health and fitness among the men (r = 0.8300), as well as among the women (r = 0.7193). The relationship between the physical activity and the feeling of health was recorded only among the men (r = 0.8921), while the relationship between the health problems and the feeling of health was also found among the men (r = 0.739), as well as among the women (r = 0, 6714). At the same time, the men perceive the importance of the physical activity, in terms of their health condition (r = 0.8791) more intense than the women. The physical education was significantly (χ2 = 112.47, p < 0.01) among the men (67.6 %, n = 229), opposite to the women (33.7 %; n = 136) contributed to the transfer of the physical activity from the school environment to the adulthood. The stated findings show that the targeted education of the population, even from the childhood with the other effective, preventive measures is very important.

Summary
The purpose of this study was to map and analyse the emotions among the pupils attending special schools for children with hearing impairments (HI) towards physical education (P.E.) classes. The main objective was to compare the emotions of their feelings during the P.E. lesson and when the P.E. lesson is cancelled. We analysed the data of 73 pupils attending five grades (from 5th up to 9th) of two special elementary schools (at Hrdličkova Street; n = 37 and at Drotárska cesta Street; n = 36) in Bratislava (Slovakia). The research sample consisted of 45 boys and 28 girls in average age 13.5 ± 1.4 years. 48 % of pupils were deaf, 36 % of them were hard of hearing and 16 % were hearing but with hard communication and learning disorders. A non-standardized questionnaire (Antala et al. 2012) was used as a primary research method. Two of the selected questions were related to the emotionality towards P.E.lessons. The data were differentiated from the point of view of the gender and schools. A comparison of the emotions of pupils with HI pointed out a difference consisting in a significantly higher level of positive emotions during P.E. classes among boys (p < .05) and students attending special school at Hrdličkova Street (p < .05). A statistically significant difference was not discovered in the emotions when P.E. class was cancelled neither among genders nor schools. In general, pupils receiving special education show very high positive emotions of the feelings during P.E. lessons but on the other hand they are happier than disappointed when P.E. lesson is cancelled. This will not only increase the positive emotions towards P.E. lessons but also allow physical activities to become a regular part of pupils’ leisure activities as well as long term sport activities.
National Intellectual Capital Taxonomy

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The concept of national intellectual capital (NIC) is in its early stage of development. NIC has a complicated and heterogeneous nature with NIC models displaying varying levels of aggregation and structure as well as inconsistent accuracy. As a result, the authors’ standpoints differ according to definition and NIC taxonomy. The aim of this article is to analyze NIC taxonomy and to organize and classify the scattered and often inadvertent intangible generators of the country’s wealth. The results of the research confirm a lack of a generally accepted definitional and taxonomic approach to NIC making a search for an acceptable solution necessary since without it the measurement and comparability of results or even the management and control of the intellectual capital of the country will not be possible. Besides contemplating the existing approaches of NIC division, the authors create their own NIC taxonomy and describe its components by presenting an original understanding of NIC components. This is extremely important because the subject of NIC has not yet been scientifically sufficiently exhausted.
Historical Narratives of Sinophobia – Are these echoed in contemporary Australian debates about Chineseness?
Authors: Tsolidis Georgina 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Historically, Australianness has been defined in contradistinction to its location – a British bastion in the Asia-Pacific region.A fear of being swamped by the Chinese – the ‘yellow peril’ – prompted federation, and a restrictive migration policy aimed at making Australia white. Thus, sinophobia has been significant in the national imaginary. This paper discusses how contemporary representations of Chineseness may be echoing this historic narrative of fear about being overrun. This is explored in the context of China’s shifting global significance and Australia’s growing economic relationship with China.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The authors focus on the current differentiation of the world and on its cognitive, application and educational frameworks and importance for the present. Macro-regional differentiation of the world has resulted from geographic concepts and it is a foundation for understanding the global development of society. This article evaluates the specific concepts and factors that form concepts of world macro-regions prepared by famous authors. It also presents a methodological approach for macro-regional forming of the world. After a theoretical and methodological introduction there is a discussion of the differentiation of the world entitled “Macro-regional differentiation of the world – formation and application.” The authors also present their conception of world differentiation and evaluation of the creation macro-regions and their positive and negative influence of the macro-regional differentiation of the world.
Reconsidering Zipf’s law for regional development: The case of settlements and cities in Croatia
Authors: Josic Hrvoje , Bašić Maja 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Zipf’s law is a striking regularity in the field of urban economics that states that the sizes of cities should follow the rank-size distribution. Rank-size distribution, or the rank-size rule, is a commonly observed statistical relationship between the population size and population rank of a nations’ cities. The goal of this paper is to test Zipf’s law as applied to data for settlements and cities in Croatia using the Census of Population Survey for the year 2011. The results of the analysis have shown that Zipf’s law for settlements in Croatia holds true for the majority of the settlement sizes. However, the rank-size distribution does not hold true for extremely small and extremely large settlement sizes. When city proper and urban agglomeration of 127 Croatian cities were examined, Zipf’s law was found to hold true only for urban agglomerations. The results of the study are discussed in terms of regional development.
Have you shot anyone? How combat veterans manage privacy with family and friends
Authors: Wilbur Douglas S. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This qualitative research project employed semi-structured interviews (analyzed with qualitative coding techniques) to examine how (N = 22) male American combat veterans manage privacy. The two-fold purpose of this study was to determine how combat veterans adhere to or deviate from the principles of communication privacy management theory (CPM). Secondly, to provide new knowledge that can shape counseling strategies and transition programs to account for how veterans manage their privacy. Some of the significant findings are that veterans believe that merely participating in combat implicitly creates a collective boundary that all veterans must maintain to protect the group. Secondly, the veterans did not use boundary coordination or privacy rule development. Instead, they relied upon internal rules that helped them craft a disclosure that minimized risk. Veterans reported having dense privacy boundaries by default, even towards members of their own family. These dense boundaries present significant obstacles to therapists working with veterans and their families.

Um posicionamento adequado influencia o desenvolvimento neurossensorial, proporcionando conforto, além de auxiliar na melhora da função respiratória de um recém-nascido (RN), o que por sua vez, também reduz a sensação dolorosa. O objetivo desta pesquisa consiste em verificar a utilização das redes de descanso e do posicionamento em prono no alívio da dor e no comportamento dos sinais vitais em recém-nascidos pré-termo (RCPT). Trata-se de pesquisa intervencionista com uma amostra de 20 recém-nascidos pré-termos internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN) do Hospital do Açúcar na cidade de Maceió (AL, Brasil). Avaliaram-se os sinais vitais e o escore de dor (escala NFCS - Sistema de Codificação da Atividade Facial Neonatal) antes e após os posicionamentos propostos. Esta pesquisa teve os seguintes resultados: ao comparar os valores iniciais e finais para cada variável entre as intervenções prono e redes de descanso, foi observada melhora significativa nos sinais vitais e na dor em ambos os posicionamentos, mas não houve significância estatística (p > 0,05) entre as intervenções, indicando que as mesmas causaram alterações semelhantes nos recém-nascidos. Os achados apontam a importância das mudanças de decúbito citados em RNPT estáveis internados em UTIN por se tratarem de métodos não invasivos e de baixo custo que proporcionam benefícios para o desenvolvimento como um todo desses RN.Palavras-chave: Recém-nascido.

A combinação de agentes antimicrobianos disponíveis para o tratamento de infecção do trato urinário causadas por Escherichia coli uropatogênicas tem sido investigada a fim de aumentar a eficácia dos tratamentos. Determinar o perfil de suscetibilidade de isolados uropatogênicas frente a vários antimicrobianos e a eficácia da interação de antimicrobianos. Neste estudo foram avaliadas 39 linhagens de uropatogênicas pelos testes de difusão de antimicrobianos em discos, determinação da concentração inibitória mínima dos antimicrobianos e análise da combinação das drogas antimicrobianas. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância (ANOVA) e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey. As resistências mais significativas foram às classes de tetraciclinas e as cefalosporinas de primeira geração pelo método de disco difusão e sistema VITEK. No método de Checkerboard, a associação entre a cefalotina/norfloxacina e gentamicina/ofloxacina, obtiveram sinergismo em todos os isolados testados. Assim, a associação de antimicrobianos pode ser uma alternativa para o tratamento de infecção do trato urinário, assim como de outras infecções diminuindo a possibilidade de falha terapêutica.

Os fatores de riscos envolvidos no desenvolvimento da hipertensão infantil e suas consequências
Authors: Gomes Landri Antonio Neto , Falcai Angela 
Published: May 2018

O objetivo dessa pesquisa consiste em avaliar, através de uma revisão sistemática, os fatores de riscos envolvidos no desenvolvimento da Hipertensão Arterial infantil. Caracterizar a epidemiologia da hipertensão arterial infantil. Discorrer sobre o diagnóstico e as indicações de tratamento para crianças portadoras de hipertensão arterial infantil. Trata-se de um artigo de revisão de literatura, descritiva, no qual foram analisados artigos já publicados sobre os fatores de riscos na HA infantil. Realizado busca nas bases de dados da PUBMED e SCIELO. Frequentemente a literatura elenca como fator de risco para HA o estilo de vida pouco saudável, como também outras características sócio demográfica são identificadas (econômica, fatores ambientais, etc.) e ponderam para elevação do IMC, desenvolvimento de diabetes mellitus e doenças cardiovasculares. Alguns estudos sugerem que a associação da hipertensão em crianças obesas, refere-se a ativação do sistema nervoso simpático, observando um desequilíbrio pelo deslocamento do mecanismo de controle da pressão arterial da diurese e a natriurese para maiores níveis de HA. Estudos ainda demonstram que a doença renovascular é uma das mais importantes causas da HA na infância, outras doenças como insuficiência cardíaca também sugerem relação embora poucos estudos sejam dirigidos a crianças. Observa-se que a prevalência desse agravo em crianças e adolescentes, vem causando muita preocupação na área da saúde. E constata-se que a alimentação saudável e a atividade física ainda são as maiores e melhores ferramentas para controle da HA. Palavras chaves: Hipertensão. Infantil. Fatores de Risco. Tratamento
