El trabajo de cuidado en instituciones geriátricas y domiciliario
Authors: Borgeaud-Garciandia Natacha 
Published: February 2018

ABSTRACT

The present contribution focuses on the care of the elderly dependents in geriatric institutions and at home. Based on existing studies of the meaning of work, the importance of the collective and the defenses strategies deployed by the workers in the institutions, our study is particularly interested on the kind of resources which mobilized home caregivers who are deprived of the possibilities of relying on colleagues and groups use to deal with the problems they meet in their activities. In the extreme case of “live in” elderly home care the dedication and the temporality of care are important because the isolation can be both very harmful and authorize the deployment of the work that could be valued by the worker herself.
Key words: care work; work collectives; isolated worker; sense of work; geriatric institutions; home care work.

Authors: Elfitasari Tita , Albert Albert 
Published: February 2018

ABSTRACT The aquaculture industry is developing tremendously over the past two decades following the significant decline of the world’s fish catch. Nevertheless, small scale fish farmers are still one of the most vulnerable communities in Indonesia. In their attempt to carry out successful aquaculture business, small scale fish farmers encounter several challenges that inhibit the fish farmers in ensuring the sustainability of fish products. This research aims to explore challenges and identify internal and external challenges that affect fish farmers’ activities in ensuring fish product sustainability. This research used a quantitative approach by collecting data through questionnaire distribution to small scale fish farmers in Central Java and data was analyzed using statistical analysis package. The findings of this research showed that challenges are classified into nine internal and seven external challenges. Result of statistical analysis indicated that internal challenges influenced product sustainability through water quality examination, whereas external challenges influenced product sustainability through two activities, i.e. giving feed at the right quantity and time, and maintain fish seed quality and availability.

A first survey on a community marine species in river of Mahakam East Kalimantan was performed in December 2015 and May 2016. Fish samplings were carried out from two locations the lower and the middle part of Mahakam. Whilst hydrometric observation of current velocity, water depth and tide was measured not only at the locations but also along the river from 2013 to 2017, tide was only observed in the lower part of Mahakam. However, marine fish species were recognized to reach up the middle part of Mahakam, 230 km from coastline. To describe a community fish structure and its dissimilarity of the two surveyed locations, diversity and bray Curtis index were applied. Almost 15 marine fish species identified in river of Mahakam was demersal fish and index of the similarity of marine fish community between the locations only 0.106.

Published: February 2018

Background:
The reductions of perioperative blood loss and inflammatory response are important in total knee arthroplasty. Tranexamic acid reduced blood loss and the inflammatory response in several studies. However, the effect of epinephrine administration plus tranexamic acid has not been intensively investigated, to our knowledge. In this study, we evaluated whether the combined administration of low-dose epinephrine plus tranexamic acid reduced perioperative blood loss or inflammatory response further compared with tranexamic acid alone.

Methods:
This randomized placebo-controlled trial consisted of 179 consecutive patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty. Patients were randomized into 3 interventions: Group IV received intravenous low-dose epinephrine plus tranexamic acid, Group TP received topical diluted epinephrine plus tranexamic acid, and Group CT received tranexamic acid alone. The primary outcome was perioperative blood loss on postoperative day 1. Secondary outcomes included perioperative blood loss on postoperative day 3, coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters (measured by thromboelastography), inflammatory cytokine levels, transfusion values (rate and volume), thromboembolic complications, length of hospital stay, wound score, range of motion, and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score.

Results:
The mean calculated total blood loss (and standard deviation) in Group IV was 348.1 ± 158.2 mL on postoperative day 1 and 458.0 ± 183.4 mL on postoperative day 3, which were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) compared with Group TP at 420.5 ± 188.4 mL on postoperative day 1 and 531.1 ± 231.4 mL on postoperative day 3 and Group CT at 520.4 ± 228.4 mL on postoperative day 1 and 633.7 ± 237.3 mL on postoperative day 3. Intravenous low-dose epinephrine exhibited a net anti-inflammatory activity in total knee arthroplasty and did not induce an obvious hypercoagulable status. Transfusion values were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) in Group IV, but no significant differences were observed in the incidence of thromboembolic complications, wound score, range of motion, and HSS score among the 3 groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusions:
The combined administration of low-dose epinephrine and tranexamic acid demonstrated an increased effect in reducing perioperative blood loss and the inflammatory response compared with tranexamic acid alone, with no apparent increased incidence of thromboembolic and other complications.

Groundwater quality mapping using geographic information system in Trichy district, Tamilnadu, India
Authors: Venkatesan G. , Senthil M. S. 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Aquifers in general are prone to contamination due to various factors including anthropogenic activities; monitoring the water quality by cost-effective techniques is of great significance and use. To study the water quality of around 100 open wells in Trichy district, Tamilnadu, India, the analytical tool ‘geographical information system’ (GIS) was applied and the outcome analyzed. The district, based on the soil type, is categorized into three regions viz: unconsolidated (Recent), semi consolidated (Cretaceous to Miocene) and consolidated (Archaean), and this technique was applied for the water samples collected in those regions. A spatial variation in well waters in the district was studied using GIS based on 15 physico-chemical parameters. For the three regions in the district, the water quality information maps of the entire district have been prepared using a spatial interpolation technique for these parameters. Statistical analyses carried out for the parameters and the character of water related to source of supply and changes in water qualities are discussed. Also the Piper tri-linear diagram is plotted, which shows the essential chemical character of the groundwater in these open wells. The condition of the groundwater has been categorized as good, moderate and poor in the respective maps for the pre and post-monsoon seasons, with the perspective of location of the site as well as in the nature of aquifer formation. Suggestion is given for the strategies for the development and preservation of the groundwater condition in this region.

Published: February 2018

Abstract
This paper investigated the performance of the combined system of catalytic ozonation and the gas-liquid-solid internal circulating fluidized bed reactor for the advanced treatment of biologically pretreated coal chemical industry wastewater (CCIW). The results indicated that with ozonation alone for 60min, the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) could reach 34%. The introduction of activated carbon, pumice, γ-Al2O3 carriers improved the removal performance of COD, and the removal efficiency was increased by 8.6%, 4.2%, 2%, respectively. Supported with Mn, the catalytic performance of activated carbon and γ-Al2O3 were improved significantly with COD removal efficiencies of 46.5% and 41.3%, respectively; however, the promotion effect of pumice supported with Mn was insignificant. Activated carbon supported with Mn had the best catalytic performance. The catalytic ozonation combined system of MnOX/activated carbon could keep ozone concentration at a lower level in the liquid phase, and promote the transfer of ozone from the gas phase to the liquid phase to improve ozonation efficiency.

Published: February 2018

Objective: Accurate assessment of breast tumor size preoperatively is important for the
initial decision-making in surgical approach. Therefore, we aimed to compare efficacy of mammography
and ultrasonography in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of breast cancer.

Methods:
Preoperative mammography and ultrasonography were performed on 104 women with
DCIS of breast cancer. We compared the accuracy of each of the imaging modalities with pathological
size by Pearson correlation. For each modality, it was considered concordant if the difference
between imaging assessment and pathological measurement is less than 0.5cm.

Results:
At pathological examination tumor size ranged from 0.4cm to 7.2cm in largest diameter.
For mammographically determined size versus pathological size, correlation coefficient of r was
0.786 and for ultrasonography it was 0.651. Grouped by breast composition, in almost entirely fatty
and scattered areas of fibroglandular dense breast, correlation coefficient of r was 0.790 for mammography
and 0.678 for ultrasonography; in heterogeneously dense and extremely dense breast,
correlation coefficient of r was 0.770 for mammography and 0.548 for ultrasonography. In microcalcification
positive group, coeffient of r was 0.772 for mammography and 0.570 for ultrasonography.
In microcalcification negative group, coeffient of r was 0.806 for mammography and 0.783
for ultrasonography.

Conclusion:
Mammography was more accurate than ultrasonography in measuring the largest
cancer diameter in DCIS of breast cancer. The correlation coefficient improved in the group of almost
entirely fatty/ scattered areas of fibroglandular dense breast or in microcalcification negative
group.
Correlation Coefficients: Mean Bias and Confidence Interval Distortions
Authors: Gorsuch Richard L. , Lehmann Curtis S. 
Published: February 2018

Non-zero correlation coefficients have non-normal distributions, affecting both means and standard deviations. Previous research suggests that z transformation may effectively correct mean bias for N's less than 30. In this study, simulations with small (20 and 30) and large (50 and 100) N's found that mean bias adjustments for larger N's are seldom needed. However, z transformations improved confidence intervals even for N = 100. The improvement was not in the estimated standard errors so much as in the asymmetrical CI's estimates based upon the z transformation. The resulting observed probabilities were generally accurate to within 1 point in the first non-zero digit. These issues are an order of magnitude less important for accuracy than design issues influencing the accuracy of the results, such as reliability, restriction of range, and N.

Published: February 2018

Reports an error in Davis et al. (2010). The functional motor scale used in Davis et al. (2010) was the EK (Egen Klassifikation) Scale, rather than the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (Steffensen et al., 2002; Cedarbaum & Stambler, 1997). Both scales are 10-item, disease-specific measures that assess mobility and respiratory function in individuals with progressive muscle weakness. This error does not change the conclusions.

The Pitfalls of a Tool-based Science and the Promise of a Problem-focused Science
Authors: McKnight Patrick E. , Johns Michael , McGovern Patrick , Najab Julius 
Published: February 2018

Our present social sciences are at risk of losing sight of their primary purpose: the goal of reducing uncertainty. For years social scientists have drifted slowly toward the routine of employing of accepted methodological, conceptual, and analytical tools rather than engaging in problem oriented inquiry. Scientific contributions are reviewed in accordance to their compliance with the routine application of tools rather than focusing on their ability to problem-solve for a wider population. Researchers in every area of psychology for instance now insist on using methods such as random assignment and control groups, as well as data analytic procedures such as null hypothesis significance testing without regard to their relevance. A problem-focused inquiry would not dictate the routine use of any particular tool but rather the judicious application of tools when deemed appropriate. The following article describes the current situation in the framework contrasting toolbased and problem-focused inquiry and offers several insights that may create a more balanced and fruitful approach to scientific inquiry.

Impact of synthetic canine cerumen on in vitro penetration of auricular skin of dogs by florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate
Authors: Ehling Sarah , Baynes Ronald E. , Bäumer Wolfgang 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate after topical application to canine auricular skin and the influence of synthetic canine cerumen on pharmacokinetics.
SAMPLE Auricular skin from 6 euthanized shelter dogs (3 females and 3 neutered males with no visible signs of otitis externa).
PROCEDURES Skin adjacent to the external opening of the ear canal was collected and prepared for use in a 2-compartment flow-through diffusion cell system to evaluate penetration of an otic gel containing florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate over a 24-hour period. Radiolabeled 14C-terbinafine hydrochloride and 3H-betamethasone acetate were added to the gel to determine dermal penetration and distribution. Florfenicol absorption was determined by use of high-performance liquid chromatography–UV detection. Additionally, the effect of synthetic canine cerumen on the pharmacokinetics of all compounds was evaluated.
RESULTS During the 24-hour experiment, mean ± SD percentage absorption without the presence of synthetic canine cerumen was 0.28 ± 0.09% for 3H-betamethasone acetate, 0.06 ± 0.06% for florfenicol, and 0.06 ± 0.02% for 14C-terbinafine hydrochloride. Absorption profiles revealed no impact of synthetic canine cerumen on skin absorption for all 3 active compounds in the gel or on skin distribution of 3H-betamethasone acetate and 14C-terbinafine hydrochloride.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE 3H-betamethasone acetate, 14C-terbinafine hydrochloride, and florfenicol were all absorbed in vitro through healthy auricular skin specimens within the first 24 hours after topical application. Synthetic canine cerumen had no impact on dermal absorption in vitro, but it may serve as a temporary reservoir that prolongs the release of topical drugs.
Aplicative Construction in Lamalera Dialect of Lamaholot Language

Published: February 2018

The applicative construction is limited as (i) the creation of a new argument of inner objects and (ii) the advancement of a peripheral constituent (locative, instrumental, benefactive, and source) occupying the position of the core argument (object). Thus, applicative constructs include the creation of new objects and the advancement of peripheral arguments occupying the core argument.

Each language has a strategy in getting around the applicative construction. Agglutinative languages for example, deal with morphological applicative construction. Unlike Lamalera dialect of Lamaholot language(LDLL) which is not an agglutinative language. Lamalera dialect of Lamaholot language has a morphophonogical strategy such as sound alternation or internal modification and syntactic strategy of word order. Both LDLL applicative construction strategies will be presented in this article.
