Authors: Sánchez-Sánchez Julio César 
Published: June 2019

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo identificar los diferentes factores asociados a la deserción de estudiantes de las diferentes escuelas de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia UNAD en el Centro Comunitario de Atención Virtual (CCAV) de Cartagena. Es empírico-analítica, de tipo ex post facto con cuantitativo – descriptivo. Del total de la población de desertados en el periodo de estudio se tomó una muestra de 210 estudiantes.Teniendo como base teórica dos grandes marcos interpretativos, uno que enfatiza en agentes exteriores como situación socioeconómica, condiciones laborales, horas de dedicación al estudio y contexto familiar; y el otro que tiene en cuenta los agentes internos como problemas motivacionales, personales, desempeño, bajo rendimiento, mala conducta y edad, y se analizan factores individuales, familiares, relacionados con la institución educativa, y lo regional y contextual, encontrándose que el mayor peso lo tienen en su orden, lo económico, los métodos inadecuados de estudio, la adaptación al sistema, el tipo de trabajo en que se desempeña el estudiante y las bases inadecuadas de formación con la cual llegan.

OBJECTIVE
Depression (major depressive disorder [MDD]) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with worsened diabetes complications, increased health care costs, and early mortality. Program ACTIVE II was a randomized, controlled, multicenter treatment trial designed to test the comparative effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or community-based exercise (EXER) on diabetes and depression outcomes compared with usual care (UC).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Using a 2 × 2 factorial randomized controlled trial design, adults with T2DM for ≥1 year who met DSM-IV-TR criteria for MDD were randomized to CBT (10 sessions occurring over 12 weeks; N = 36), EXER (12 weeks of community-based exercise including six sessions with a personal trainer; N = 34), CBT+EXER (concurrent over a 12-week period; N = 34), and UC (N = 36). Primary outcomes were depression remission rate (assessed by psychiatric interviewers blind to assignment) and change in glycemic control (HbA1c).

RESULTS
The mean age was 56.0 years (SD 10.7). Participants were female (77%), white (71%), and married (52%). After controlling for education and antidepressant use, odds of achieving full MDD remission in the intervention groups were 5.0–6.8 times greater than UC (P &lt; 0.0167). The CBT+EXER group demonstrated improved HbA1c compared with UC. For participants with a baseline HbA1c ≥7.0%, exploratory post hoc subgroup analysis showed that the CBT+EXER group had a 1.1% improvement in HbA1c (P &lt; 0.0001) after controlling for covariates.

CONCLUSIONS
The Program ACTIVE behavioral treatment interventions demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in depression outcomes in adults with T2DM and MDD. These community-based interventions are complementary to medical care and extend access to those in rural and urban areas.

OBJECTIVE
This study assessed longitudinal change in depression symptoms over ≥4 years in adults with type 1 diabetes and examined the association between change in depression symptom status and glycemia.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Adults in the T1D Exchange registry with HbA1c and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) at 1 year (baseline) and 5 years post-enrollment (follow-up; n = 2,744, mean age, 42 years; 57% female, 92% white; mean HbA1c, 7.6% [58 mmol/mol]) were included. Depression status was defined as Persistent Elevated Depression Symptoms (EDS) (EDS at baseline and follow-up), Resolved EDS (EDS at baseline, no EDS at follow-up), New Onset EDS (no EDS at baseline, EDS at follow-up), and Not Depressed (no EDS at baseline or follow-up).

RESULTS
Overall, 131 (5%) had Persistent EDS, 122 (4%) had Resolved EDS, 168 (6%) had New Onset EDS, and 2,323 (85%) were Not Depressed. Of those with EDS (PHQ ≥ 10) at baseline, 53% had EDS at follow-up; of those not depressed at baseline, 7% had EDS at follow-up. An increase in PHQ-8 was associated with an increase in HbA1c (P &lt; 0.001). Although HbA1c increased in all groups, the increase was less in the Resolved EDS and Not Depressed groups (P = 0.001). Persistent EDS and New Onset EDS groups were more likely to experience diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (P &lt; 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
T1D Exchange registry data provide evidence for relationships over time between persistently, and newly developing EDSs and worsening glycemic control, and suggest relationships between depression symptoms and the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia and DKA. Successful treatment of depression symptoms may lead to better long-term diabetes outcomes.
Circulating HER2/ErbB2 Levels Are Associated With Increased Incidence of Diabetes: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Authors: Muhammad Iram Faqir , Borné Yan , Bao Xue , Melander Olle , Orho-Melander Marju , Nilsson Peter M. , Nilsson Jan , Engström Gunnar 
Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVE
HER2/ErbB2 is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family. It is widely used as a tumor marker, but it also has recently been associated with insulin resistance. Both ErbB2 and diabetes have been associated with cancer; however, the relationship between ErbB2 and diabetes has not been well explored. The aim of this population-based cohort study was to assess the association between plasma ErbB2 and incidence of diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
The study population included participants from the Malmö Diet and Cancer–Cardiovascular Cohort (age range 46–68 years). After excluding participants with a history of diabetes and those missing data for ErbB2 and other covariates, the final study population consisted of 4,220 individuals. Incidence of diabetes was followed through linkages to local and national registers. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the incidence of diabetes in relation to quartiles of ErbB2, adjusted for potential confounders.

RESULTS
Plasma ErbB2 was significantly and positively associated with glucose, insulin, and HbA1c after being adjusted for potential confounding factors. During a mean ± SD follow-up period of 20.20 ± 5.90 years, 615 participants (14.6%) were diagnosed with new-onset diabetes. Individuals with high levels of ErbB2 had a significantly higher risk of diabetes than those with low levels of ErbB2. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio was 1.31 (95% CI 1.03–1.66; P &lt; 0.05) for the highest versus the lowest quartile of ErbB2 and was 1.15 (95% CI 1.05–1.25; P &lt; 0.05) per 1-SD increase in ErbB2.

CONCLUSIONS
Elevated levels of ErbB2 are associated with increased incidence of diabetes.

A Note on Multiplicative (Generalized) (α, β)-Derivations in Prime Rings
Authors: Rehman Nadeem ur , Al-omary Radwan M. , Muthana Najat Mohammed 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Let R be a prime ring with center Z(R). A map G : R →R is called a multiplicative (generalized) (α, β)-derivation if G(xy)= G(x)α(y)+β(x)g(y) is fulfilled for all x; y ∈ R, where g : R → R is any map (not necessarily derivation) and α; β : R → R are automorphisms. Suppose that G and H are two multiplicative (generalized) (α, β)-derivations associated with the mappings g and h, respectively, on R and α, β are automorphisms of R. The main objective of the present paper is to investigate the following algebraic identities: (i) G(xy) + α(xy) = 0, (ii) G(xy) + α(yx) = 0, (iii) G(xy) + G(x)G(y) = 0, (iv) G(xy) = α(y) ○ H(x) and (v) G(xy) = [α(y), H(x)] for all x, y in an appropriate subset of R.

Abstract
Cultural practices and control of diseases and insects are widely used for cultivation of Olea europea L. These are considered potential contaminants. Aim of this investigation lies in determination of concentrations of contaminants in several edible olive oils. All test samples were purchased in three consecutive seasons. They were analysed in compliance with standardized international protocols of wet digestion methods. Ion concentrations were determined in three replicates using method of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. We have registered a positive correlation between storage time and heavy metals contents. It was particularly high in Iranian brands and varied significantly. Investigation results show that all obtained heavy metals contents in pepper-flavoured olive oil samples were significantly lower than in other samples. Considering the fungi-flavoured samples, levels of Pb and Cd were prominent and exceeded the maximum permissible level set in the majority of cases. The further monitoring is needed as all these metals are toxic and their detrimental effect becomes obvious only after several years of exposure.
Towards a Sustainable Future? The EU Policies Concerning Plastics and Their Didactical Potential for Primary and Secondary Teaching
Authors: Kerscher Ulrich 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Plastic, plastic waste and marine litter indisputably is one of the key environmental issues of the 21st century. The already existing amount of accumulated marine litter, the high quantity of plastic waste escaping from waste management streams every year in combination with the low recycling rates for plastic and the missing awareness of the consumer for sustainable consumption pose a permanent threat to the ecosystem, biodiversity and human health. What is more, as economic and ecological interests strongly deviate from each other, the transformation of this status quo towards a more sustainable future will take place very slowly. Against this background, this paper will shortly outline the multitude of problems connected to plastic products throughout a productís lifecycle and introduce the idea of a circular economy. On this basis, the paper will critically analyze the strategy papers and the ongoing legislation of the EU introduced to solve these problems and to realize the transformation process of the EU-economy towards a circular economy from a sustainable development point of view. On the one hand, awareness raising is one main strategy of the EU to achieve this transformation, on the other hand, educational institutions are not specifically mentioned by the EU. In order to address this shortcoming, the paper will constitute the teaching principle global development politics / education for sustainable development as one measure to increase consumersí awareness and sustainable consumption. In general, this paper will proof that the topical area plastics can fruitfully be implemented at German schools for primary and secondary education in order to strengthen the education for sustainable development.
Spirituality and Sustainability of Interreligious/Interdenominational Dialogue in Theological Study Programs
Authors: Geikina Laima , Balode Dace 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This article is part of broader research on “The Interrelationship of Theology and Praxis in the Context of Sustainable Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue”1 in which we explore two essential concepts: sustainability and interreligious dialogue. We have narrowed this broader topic to study how facilitation of students’ spirituality in theology study programmes develops an environment for sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue. We provide a theoretical glimpse into research from theology, pedagogy, and spirituality. Our future research process will be based on our findings. One of the current challenges is globalization, which coincides with diversification of cultural norms and moral values. The sustainability provision for our home – Earth – suggests new ways to achieve common solutions, not only economically (prosperity) and politically (peace and stability), but also religiously (justice and solidarity) in terms of current changes. But, looking deeper, theology is searching for new definitions for traditional concepts such as “my neighbour”, “creation”, and “community of believers”. Bert Roebben states that the Christian community (and the global community as a whole) needs to find means to “grow in a common humanity” (Roebben, 2018). In this article, we reflect on how a spiritual approach can be methodologically integrated into theology studies to promote spiritual growth and establish sustainable interreligious dialogue: What type of theology should create the foundation of theology study programmes to promote students’ spirituality as a prerequisite for sustainability? How does spirituality promote sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue? Research methodology combines hermeneutic insights on conditions for sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue, its theological foundations, spiritual practice as a pedagogical basis, and the possibility for implementing sustainable dialogue support mechanisms in theology study programmes. Theology study programmes that promote student spirituality develop an environment for sustainable interdenominational/interreligious dialogue.
Animalization of language, therefore death of a man
Authors: Turowski Tomasz 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In the article, I try to emphasize that our way of using language affects moral decisions and attitudes. As we think as we speak and simultaneously, we act. By using chauvinistic language, first of all, we simplify our reality; secondly, we push those beings that we define in the language to the margins. I think that our language is homocentric and therefore leads us to speciesism.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Magnesium-aluminum-bismuth layered double hydroxides (Mg3Al1−xBix; LDHs) were prepared using both coprecipitation and sol-gel methods. For the preparation of Mg/Al/Bi LDH by the co-precipitation method, the appropriate amounts of dissolved starting materials (Al(NO3)3 · 9H2O, Mg(NO3)2 · 6H2O and Bi(NO3)3 · 5H2O) were mixed with a solution of NaHCO3:NaOH. In the sol-gel processing, the precursor Mg–Al–Bi–O gels were synthesized using the same starting materials and ethylene glycol as complexing agent. The mixed-metal oxides obtained by subsequent heating of Mg–Al–Bi–O gels at 650 °C were reconstructed to Mg3Al1−xBix LDHs in water at 80 °C. All the synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dielectric measurements.

Abstract
Central and Eastern European countries undergo many political, structural, social and economic changes. In the past decades such countries, like Croatia and Poland, witnessed a fundamental transformation of their societies and economies, which impacted accounting systems as well. The mail goal of the paper is to research the main differences in accounting systems in the Republic of Croatia and Poland. The research methodology is based on a critical analysis of scholarly literature done by the bibliometric analysis, analysis Polish and Croatian accouting standards and legal acts. Based on inductive and deductive reasoning, the paper reveals key determinants and differences of accounting frameworks in Croatia and Poland. The paper proves that it is crucial to consider economic and cultural differences in comparative international accounting research. Research results of the paper will contribute the international accounting literature but also have an impact on the European Union accounting harmonisation references.

Research subject. This article presents the results of a study undertaken to investigate the systematics of rare-earth elements (REE), Y, Th, U and Mn in the Upper Devonian conodonts of the Western Ural region of the foreland fold of the Southern Urals (Askyn and Makarovo horizons, Kukkarauk, Ryauzyak and Lemezinsky sections).Methods. The conodonts were isolated from carbonate rocks using the conventional method of their dissolution in organic acids, mainly formic acid. Sample preparation and mass spectrometric analysis were carried out in the class 1000 and 10 000 cleanroom facilities of the Zavaritsky Institute of Geology and Geochemistry. A PerkinElmer ELAN 9000 quadrupole ICP mass-spectrometer was used to determine the concentration of the trace elements under study. Sm and Nd isotope ratios were measured from a 3% nitric acid solution by a Thermo Fischer Neptune Plus multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometer. The long-term reproducibility and accuracy of the measurement procedure were evaluated using a standard Merck Nd solution based on the NIST Nd2O3 and yielded 143Nd/144Nd = 0.511720 ± 15 (1 SD, n = 40).Results. The established features of PAAS-normalised lanthanide distributions in the conodont bulk samples (10.4–21.8 mg), Ce-anomalies, high REE values (173–1211 ppm) and a number of other parameters indicate the leading role of late diagenetic processes in the formation of conodont REE systematics. This is also evidenced by the Y/Ho values (≈26–32) specific for the studied conodont samples.Conclusions. In general, the distribution of lanthanides in the conodonts suggests that this process was mainly controlled by a lithogenic (from 90 to more than 99%) REE source. The εNd (t) (–4.0…–2.8) values characteristic of the cono donts of the Askyn and Makarovo horizons suggest that their Nd isotopic composition was either formed under the influence of the open ocean (island arc basin), characterised by a significant share of radiogenic Nd, or due to the entry of radiogenic waters of the ocean into the shelf zone at the peak of the marine transgression that took place in the region under consideration in the Famennian.
