Changes in Tear Cytokines Following a Short Period of Daily and Overnight Silicone Hydrogel Lens Wear
Authors: Duong Kim , Chao Cecilia , Willcox Mark , Richdale Kathryn 
Published: June 2019

Background and Objective: To investigate changes in ocular surface inflammatory markers after daily and overnight silicone hydrogel contact lens wear in healthy wearers.
Material and Methods: Twenty-six experienced soft contact lens subjects were evaluated at baseline, after 1-day of silicone hydrogel lens wear, and after 1-night of wear. Basal tears were collected at each visit and tear cytokine concentrations were quantified using multiplex [interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12(p70), IL-17A and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α] or ELISA (IL-8) kits. A historical control group of 27 non-contact lens wearers was used to compare absolute concentrations and diurnal variations in tear cytokine concentrations. Changes in cytokine concentrations were analyzed using linear mixed models. Linear regression with bootstrapping was used to assess whether changes in IL-1β concentrations were associated with changes in other cytokines.
Results: IL-8 concentrations decreased after 1 day of silicone hydrogel contact lens wear and returned to baseline levels the next morning (p=0.04). This same diurnal fluctuation was seen in non-contact lens wearers (p=0.03). With daily contact lens wear, there was a significant positive correlation between the changes in IL-1β and IL-8, TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-12(p70) (all p<0.03). With overnight contact lens wear, there were significant positive correlations between the changes in IL-1β and IL-6, IL-17A and TNF-α (all p<0.01).
Conclusion: A short period of daily and overnight silicone hydrogel lens wear does not significantly alter the inflammatory status in adapted soft contact lens wearers.
Conjunctival Inlapse: Nasal and Temporal Conjuctival Shape Variations associated with Scleral Lens Wear
Authors: Courey CLaudine , Courey Gabriella , Michaud Langis 
Published: June 2019

PURPOSE: This article aims to report a new clinical finding associated with the wear of scleral lenses.
METHODS: Non-contact lens wearer subjects were recruited and fitted with large diameter (18 mm) scleral lenses. Lens was randomly filled with non preserved saline or non preserved carboxymethylcellulose-based artificial tears (Refresh Celluvisc, Allergan, Ca). The sinking of the lens on the nasal and temporal sclera was assessed periodically during a total of 6h00 of wear, with the use of anterior segment coherence tomography (OCT- Optovue, Clarion Technologies, Texas). Images were taken every 30 minutes for the first 2h00, then at 4h00 and 6h00 post-insertion.
RESULTS: The nasal side sinks significantly more than the temporal side by 23.0±7.3 μm (F(1,12)=10.043; p=0.008; 95%CI:[7.2 ,38.9]). This difference is significant with time (F=8.757; p<0.001) and there is a side effect (F=10.043; p=0.008). The type of solution does not influence the lens behavior (F=0.250; p=0.626). A new clinical finding was revealed during scan analysis. Conjunctival tissue displacement was seen, under the reverse curve of the scleral lens, shortly after insertion. This conjunctival “inlapse” (CI) was sustained over all the wearing hours. On the nasal quadrant, CI was reduced in height and present in only 8/15 subjects while, in the temporal quadrant, 100% of subjects showed an average CI of 38.39 ± 10.43 μm (t(84)=3.68; p=0.0072; 95%CI[17.64, 59.13]) 30 minutes post insertion followed by a non-significant decrease of 1.97 ± 10.34 μm (t(84)=0.19; p=1.00; 95%CI[-22.52,18.58]) between 30 minutes and 6 hours of wear.
CONCLUSION: Nasal sinking is more pronounced as compared with temporal lens sinking. This may explain the occurrence of a new clinical phenomenon identified to happen shortly after lens insertion, under the reverse curve of a scleral lens. In fact, CI happens mostly on the temporal quadrant, where more space is available for the conjunctival tissue to move. This finding suggests that conjunctival tissue reacts to scleral lens wear, not only in the inferior quadrant, where conjunctival prolapse is known to occur, but in every other one as well.

Published: June 2019

This descriptive study describes the clinical, paraclinical characteristics in children with renal tubular acidosis. In this study, 36 children with renal tubular acidosis were hospitalized in the National Hospital of Pediatrics from June, 2012 to July, 2017. Among the patients, 64.0% were male; the male/female ratio was 1.8/1. The average age of the patients was 7.7 ± 4.6 years. There were 29 type 1 renal tubular acidosis patients (80.6%) and 7 type 2 renal tubular acidosis (19.6%). The most common clinical signs were slow weight gain (100%), polyuria and vomiting were 25.7%, excessive water drinking (16.7%), diarrhea (13.9%), weak lower limb (11.1%), and apnea (8.3%). The laboratory values on admission were: blood pH 7.23 ± 0.11; HCO3- 12.5 ± 5.07; serum sodium 136 ± 7mmol/l; potassium 2.9 ± 0.5 mmol/l; chloride 112 ± 9 mmol/l. The study concludes that 53.8% of the clinical, paraclinical characteristics in children with Renal Tubular Acidosis were inconspicuousness, which effected the children’s growth. The study recommends a long-term strategy for diagnosis and follow–up treatment of renal tubular acidosis.

Characteristics of transient pressure performance of horizontal wells in fractured-vuggy tight fractal reservoirs considering nonlinear seepage
Authors: Jiang Ruizhong , Zhang Chunguang , Cui Yongzheng , Wang Qiong , Zhang Wei , Zhang Fulei 
Published: June 2019

Since the classical seepage theory has limitations in characterizing the heterogeneity of fractured-vuggy tight reservoirs, well test interpretation results are not consistent with actual production by far. Based on the nonlinear percolation theory, a new nonlinear seepage equation considering the boundary layer and yield stress was derived to describe the seepage characteristics of dense matrix blocks and the stress sensitivity and fractal features of fracture systems were characterized by applying the fractal theory. Thus, the nonlinear model of a horizontal well in a fractured-vuggy tight fractal reservoir was established naturally. Then the finite element method was applied to solve the bottom hole pressure based on the processing of internal boundary conditions. After solving the model, the seepage characteristics of different models were summarized by analyzing the bottom hole pressure dynamic curves and the sensitivity analysis of multiple parameters such the nonlinear parameter and fractal index were conducted. Finally, the practicality of the model was proved through a field application. The results show that the pressure dynamic curves can be divided into nine flow stages and the increase of the nonlinear parameter will cause the intensity of the cross flow from matrix blocks to the fracture system to decrease. The fractal index is irrelevant to the intensity of the cross flow while it decides the upwarping degree of the curve at the middle and late flow stages. On the basis of the results of the field application, it can be concluded that the model fits well with actual production and the application of this model can improve the accuracy of well test interpretation.

Tujuan penelitian adalah mendeskripsikan klasifikasi tabu perbuatan dan klasifikasi tabu kebahasaan pada masyarakat Banjar. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan teknik rekam dan dokumentasi. Waktu pengambilan data dari Bulan Januari 2015 s.d Juni 2016 di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Selatan, Banjar baru, Banjarmasin, dan Martapura. Analisis data dilakukan dengan tiga tahap, yaitu indentifikasi data, klasifikasi data, seleksi data, dan interpretasi data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa klasifikasi tabu dalam masyarakat Banjar terdiri atas tabu perbuatan dan tabu kebahasaan. Tabu perbuatan adalah larangan untuk melakukan kegiatan atau perbuatan yang diyakini akan mendatangkan malapetaka,sedangkan tabu kebahasaan adalah tabu yang berkaitan dengan kebahasaan. Kedua klasifikasi tabu ini dilatarbelakangi oleh dua hal, yaitu karena adanya rasa takut dan demi kenyamanan. Pengelakan tabu dalam masyarakat Banjar ada yang menggunakan eufemisme, singkatan, metafora.(This study examines taboo classification in Banjar society. The problems are how act taboo classification is and how is language taboo classification in Banjar society.

Understanding the Relation of Policy Discourse and Re-Conceptualising Curriculum: A Kosovo Perspective on a New Meaning of Context
Authors: Saqipi Blerim 
Published: June 2019

This article is an analysis of the meaning of context in implementing curriculum reform. It uses an analysis of two Kosovo curriculum reforms in the previous two decades to elaborate on how education systems engage in the transfer of transnational ideas as well as how they face challenges in making those ideas succeed. The article uses Discursive Institutionalism and the debate between the Didaktik and Curriculum Theory Traditions as a framework for analysis to understand the form of ideas and types of discourses that are relevant for successful curriculum reform. While the Kosovo curriculum reform has been struggling to find a balance between the Didaktik and Curriculum Theory traditions, it is evident that two reform projects did not provide sufficient possibilities forcoordinative discourse among key actors in the reform implementation. For reform to succeed, education systems need to balance between both background and foreground ideas as well as communicative and coordinative discourses. In education systems whose professional capacities are limited and whose resources are scarce, such a balance gains greater importance, indicating the need for more school-based development activities. Therefore, the context should not be viewed as solely static, but needs to be assigned a new meaning regarding what it is and should be placed at the service of reform implementation by recognising the importance of critical reflection when adopting a particular curriculum policy orientation and tailoring the discourse for promoting reform ideas.

The thesis entitled "The role of the Notary Deed Official Pledge As Waqf In the allotment of Land Rights Amendment Waqf" examines the waqf land already diwakafkan by wakif and run through the process of making the Pledge of Endowments and already certified waqf land. However, the waqf land area experiencing growth and progress resulting in a change General Spatial Plan (which disturb the position of the donated land. Based on the above, the writers compose thesis raises the issue of whether the allotment of land endowments can be changed, how the role of the notary as Officer Deed of Pledge Waqf in the change designation of land rights endowments, and any obstacles in the change designation of land rights waqf , In writing this thesis, the author uses the normative method. It can be concluded that the change of land designation endowments can be done on the condition that these changes to the public interest in accordance with the General Spatial Plan which is based on the law and not contrary to Islamic principles, changes in the allotment of land endowments can be done after approval Ministry of Religious Affairs on consideration of Indonesian waqf Board and the replacement of at least one rank and balanced with original waqf property. The role of the Notary as Officer Deed of Pledge Waqf is to legalize or register the minutes of the meeting of the board of supervisors, made a deed of exchange of land endowments, making back Deed of Pledge Waqf of land which has been exchanged in accordance with the Deed of Pledge Waqf originally , providing information on the legal acts penghadap. Barriers to change the designation of land rights endowments of which is still going controversy about peraliahan rights to the donated land, the lack of public understanding of the donated land so many waqf land that is not registered and does not have a certificate endowments, as well as a lack of public understanding of the transfer of rights over donated land, if there is a legal act on changes in land endowments frequent rejection, and understanding Nazhir towards waqf property itself is still lacking, as well as other obstacles.
