La ciencia y tecnología como elementos transformadores de la naturaleza en la división Golfito, Costa Rica. (1938-1962)
Authors: Conejo Barboza Luis 
Published: July 2019

Una de las principales justificaciones que utilizó la United Fruit Company para legitimar su entrada y permanencia en la región centroamericana, fue la llegada de la ciencia y la tecnología traída por ella. En ese sentido, es importante estudiar la forma en que la transnacional logró consolidar esa representación tanto en el público estadounidense como en el centroamericano.
Así mismo, la historia de la empresa y su representación de la ciencia y tecnología son también la continuidad de una construcción que desarrollo la confrontación entre naturaleza y ciencia en la historia estadounidense.
Se parte del estudio de caso de la división Golfito, para explicar los medios que utilizó la transnacional para legitimar y construir esa representación.
Los tesoros en la conquista Árabe de Al- Andalus y las contradicciones en las fuentes árabes
Authors: López Brenes Manuel Enrique , Marín Guzmán Roberto 
Published: July 2019

El propósito de este ensayo es analizar las exageraciones que contienen las fuentes árabes respecto de los tesoros capturados a los pueblos sometidos. A esas abundantísimas riquezas obtenidas por los ejércitos conquistadores de Tariq bn Ziyad se suma la ma’ida Sulayman (la mesa de Salomón), que no solo fue de gran relevancia por su riqueza, sino también porque jugó un papel importante, según la leyenda o la realidad histórica, durante la rendición de cuentas de los conquistadores de al-Andalus, Tariq bn Ziyad y Musa Ibn Nusayr. En este trabajo también se discuten los problemas que presentan las fuentes árabes en torno a todos estos asuntos, así como alrededor del viaje de Tariq bn Ziyad y Musa Ibn Nusayr a Damasco para rendir cuentas ante el califa. Como se analizará en este trabajo, el problema de las fuentes árabes respecto del viaje de los conquistadores de al-Andalus a Damasco, empieza desde quien era el califa que los mandó a llamar, hasta cual Amir al-Mu’minin Omeya oyó la rendición de cuentas de los conquistadores y los castigó. Las fuentes árabes inclusive contienen información divergente respecto de los castigos a los conquistadores. En torno a estos asuntos abundan las leyendas, así como asuntos históricos, que se discutirán en este ensayo, lo cual constituye el hilo conductor de la exposición

Published: July 2019

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have a profound impact on an individual’s life. The aim of this study was to explore participants’ experiences and perspectives of outcomes of their ACL reconstruction (ACLR) from two to 10 years following surgery, in relation to physical activity, sports, occupation and quality of life. Ten participants completed patient-reported outcome measures (PROM), namely the Tegner Activity Scale, the Knee Outcome and Osteoarthritis Score (KOOS) and the Sports Confidence Scale; and they participated in individual face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The general inductive approach was used for data analysis, and PROMs were analysed descriptively. Two themes were identified from the interviews: “Continuum of fear of re-injury versus confidence” and “Ongoing knee-health related problems and need of health professional advice”. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may lead to long-term fear of injury and behavioural manifestations, with fluctuating levels of confidence during sports. Participants had ongoing knee health-related problems and were concerned about the future risk of re-injury or osteoarthritis. Participants reported good knee function, and yet scored low on quality of life scales (KOOS, median 53/100). The Sports Confidence Scale indicated low knee-related confidence levels (median 41.5/80). Health professionals should consider long-term individual-specific maintenance programmes that improve and maintain confidence and selefficacy for those with ACLR.
A história cruzada e os limites do comparativismo histórico
Authors: Albuquerque Isabela 
Published: July 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo abordar algumas considerações sobre a história comparada enquanto campo historiográfico, desde as contribuições de Marc Bloch na década de vinte do século passado. Ao analisar a trajetória da história comparada, consideramos as vantagens do método comparativo e a delimitação dos objetos a serem comparados. A partir da década de oitenta do século passado, o comparativismo tradicional que buscava semelhanças e diferenças entre as sociedades dava lugar a uma nova modalidade: as histórias conectadas, que privilegiavam análise dos objetos a partir do intercâmbio e do contato entre as sociedades.A história cruzada representa uma dessas mudanças nos paradigmas sobre o comparativismo histórico. A proposta de Werner e Zimmermann para o cruzamento – de objetos, conceitos, escalas – desafia historiadores a repensar o fazer historiográfico dentro da história comparada, excedendo os antigos limites da disciplina.

TINJAUAN HUKUM ISLAM TENTANG PENGGUNAAN UANG ELEKTRONIK DAN RELEVANSINYA TERHADAP LAHIRNYA FATWA DEWAN SYARIAH NASIONAL MAJELIS ULAMA INDONESIA
Authors: Alhusni Alhusni 
Published: July 2019

Electronic money as a policy amid advances in banking technology and the demands of the needs of the community for alternative payment that is fast and safe. But behind these advantages, still as Muslims, it is necessary to know and ensure the views of Islamic law regarding the use of electronic money for payment transactions, transfers, cash withdrawals and refunds. By using the library research method, this paper discusses several issues including: First, how Islamic law views the use of electronic money. Second, the relevance of Islamic law to the fatwa of the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI). Based on the findings and analysis conducted that the use of electronic money is permissible in Islamic law. Because transactions using electronic money are the same as transactions that previously developed in the banking system, such as credit cards. Even though the buyer and seller do not meet in person. However, in transactions using electronic money a joint "agreement" was found. Indirectly between the two agreed because there is no change between the price offered and the paid value, the buyer who wants to buy also knows the price in full. Various types of special payments such as e-toll, e-ticketing, e-parking, e-pospay and so on. Specifically in religious (Islamic) authorization in Indonesia, financial transactions enter the authority of the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI). So the DSN-MUI fatwa is closely related to the contract process. Based on this, the use of e-money, at least fulfills four elements of contract in Islam, namely, contract of sale, contract of wadiah (safekeeping of goods / property), contract of ijarah (transfer of usufructuring rights) and contract of wakalah (surrender authority). So from this it can be concluded that the fatwa on electronic money issued by the DSN-MUI is very relevant.

Prolonged exposure as early intervention in an emergency department context: lessons learned from a terminated RCT.
Authors: Bragesjö Maria , Arnberg Filip , Andersson Erik 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Objective
The main purpose of the trial was to test if a brief trauma focused cognitive-behavior therapy (prolonged exposure; PE) provided within 72h after a trauma could be effective in decreasing the incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), replicating and extending findings from an earlier trial. After a pilot study (N=10), which indicated feasible and deliverable study procedures and interventions, we subsequently launched an RCT with a target sample size of 352 participants randomized to either three sessions PE or non-directive support. Due to an unforeseen major reorganization at the hospital, the RCT was discontinued after 32 included participants.
Results
In this paper, we highlight obstacles and lessons learned from our feasibility work, relevant for preventive psychological interventions for PTSD in emergency settings. One important finding was the high degree of attrition: only 78% and 34% respectively came back for the two months and six-months assessments. There were also difficulties in reaching eligible patients immediately after the event. Based on our experiences, we envisage that alternative models of implementation might overcome these obstacles, for example, with remote delivery of both assessments and treatment, combined with multiple recruitment procedures. Lessons learned from this terminated RCT are discussed in depth.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background: Renal cyst is prevailing around the world and symptomatic renal cysts are recommended to be treated in the EUA guidelines. Currently, aspiration-sclerotherapy (AS) and laparoscopic de-roofing (LD) are the main therapies of symptomatic renal cysts. This article aims to compare the clinical efficiency between them in the management of renal cysts through meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Method: A comprehensive literature search was performed by PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library to ascertain the relevant studies published up to March 2019. Articles with English full-text comparing aspiration-sclerotherapy and laparoscopic de-roofing in renal cyst treatment were included.
Results: Our searches of literature generated 6 studies (1547 patients incorporated) comparing AS with LD in the impacts of renal cyst therapy. Of these, 6 studies contained 1106 and 441 patients who were treated with AS and LD, respectively. The outcome of this meta-analysis indicated that although AS group had shorter treatment time (MD：-51.10; 95% CI：-73.01 to -29.20; p<0.01), radiological successful rate (RR: 0.64; 95%CI: 0.53 to 0.77) are higher in LD group, which also had less recurrence rate (RR: 4.96; 95%CI: 2.28 to 10.81; p<0.01). No statistically significant difference was showed in symptomatic successful rate (RR: 0.90; 95%CI: 0.79 to 1.03；P=0.13) and complications (RR: 2.11; 95% CI: 0.47 to 9.52; P=0.33).
Conclusion: In our meta-analysis, laparoscopic de-roofing is superior to aspiration-sclerotherapy in radiological successful rate and recurrence, but the treatment time is longer.

Abstract
Background: Clear evidence on the benefit-harm balance and cost effectiveness of population-based screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) is missing. We aim to systematically evaluate the long-term effectiveness, harms and cost effectiveness of different organized CRC screening strategies in Austria.
Methods: A decision-analytic Markov cohort model for colorectal adenoma and cancer with a lifelong time horizon was developed, calibrated to the Austrian epidemiological setting and validated. We compared four strategies: 1) No Screening, 2) FIT: annual immunochemical fecal occult blood test age 40-75 years, 3) gFOBT: annual guaiac-based fecal occult blood test age 40-75 years, and 4) COL: 10-yearly colonoscopy age 50-70 years. Predicted outcomes included: benefits as life-years gained [LYG], CRC-related deaths avoided and CRC cases avoided; harms as additional complications due to colonoscopy (physical harm) and positive test results (psychological harm); and lifetime costs. Tradeoffs were expressed as incremental harm-benefit ratios (IHBR, incremental positive test results per LYG) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios [ICER]. The perspective of the Austrian public health care system was adopted. Comprehensive sensitivity analyses were performed to assess uncertainty.
Results: The most effective strategies were FIT and COL. The IHBR to move from COL to FIT has an expected incremental unintended psychological harm of 16 additional positive test results to gain one life-year. COL was cost saving compared to No Screening. gFOBT was dominated by FIT. Moving from COL to FIT has an ICER of 15000 EUR/LYG.
Conclusions: Organized CRC-screening with annual FIT or 10-yearly colonoscopy is most effective. The choice between these two options depends on the individual preferences and benefit-harm tradeoffs of screening candidates.
Tissue-type plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 as compared to lower extremity artery disease.
Authors: Wieczór Radosław , Wieczór Anna Maria , Rość Danuta 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background

Chronic lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) involves progressive arterial narrowing manifested by intermittent claudication (IC). LEAD entails endothelial dysfunction and fibrinolytic disorders. The main objective of the present study was to analyze selected parameters of the fibrinolytic system in the blood of patients with symptomatic LEAD depending on clinical parameters.

Methods

The test group consisted of 80 patients with LEAD (27F/53M) with an average age of 63.5±9 years. The control group included 30 healthy, non-smoking volunteers (10F/20M), with their median age of 56±6 years. The research material comprised venous blood to determine concentrations of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA Ag), plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1 Ag) and D-dimer, fibrinogen and platelet count (PLT).

Results

Elevated concentrations of t-PA Ag and PAI-1 Ag as well as D-dimer and fibrinogen were found in the plasma of subjects with symptomatic LEAD. Various stages of the Fontaine classification demonstrated a gradual, statistically significant increase in the concentrations of fibrinogen and PLT count as the disease progressed. The subgroup of LEAD patients aged ≥ 65 years was reported to have significantly higher levels of D-dimer than the group of younger subjects. Besides, the LEAD group demonstrated: negative correlations between IC distance and fibrinogen concentrations, and PLT count, negative correlations between ABI at rest and concentrations of D-dimer and PLT count, and positive correlations between age and D-dimer levels.

Conclusion

High t-PA Ag concentrations in LEAD patients reflect damaged endothelium which comprises the main source of this factor. With high PAI-1 Ag levels, inactive fibrinolytic t-PA-PAI-1 complexes are formed. Increasing fibrinogen concentrations at the subsequent stages in accordance with the Fontaine classification, suggest a growing inflammatory condition. Elevated values of D-dimer reflect the aggregation of secondary fibrinolysis activation as the patient ages and along with impaired extremity vascularization manifested by the decreasing ABI.
Lymph node metastasis around the entrance point to recurrent laryngeal nerve in papillary thyroid carcinoma
Authors: Lv Tian , Liu Zhuoran , Yan Jiqi 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background

There were few reports on the lymph nodes of entrance point to recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-epRLN) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Therefore, we aimed to increase awareness of LN-epRLN.

Methods

A prospective analysis including 878 consecutive patients with PTC who underwent thyroidectomy from April 2016 to March 2017 was performed. We explored the surrounding tissue of entrance point to recurrent laryngeal nerve, during routine central lymph node dissection (CLND). The lymph node specimens were sent separately for routine histopathological examination, and the complications and follow-ups were recorded.

Results

LN-epRLN was found in 73 of the 878 patients and the metastasis rate was 3.76%. In univariate analysis, LN-epRLN metastasis was correlated with further central nodal metastasis, tumor location in the upper third of the thyroid and tumor multifocality.

Conclusions

LN-epRLN can be the site of metastasis of PTC. CLND scope should include the surrounding tissue of entrance point to recurrent laryngeal nerve. LN-epRLN metastasis in PTC is associated with tumor location in the isthmus or upper third of the thyroid, tumor multifocality and further central nodal metastasis.
The plasma levels of free melatonin is not associated with cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction
Authors: Li Jingwei , Ma Qiang , Liu Zhi-Wei , Liu Jie , Hu Shun-Ying , Jing Jing , Chen Yun-Dai 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background

Lower circulating levels of total melatonin is associated with adverse cardiovascular (CV) events in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Free melatonin is easier to measure in clinical practice compared with total melatonin. Whether free melatonin is associated with follow-up CV events in AMI patients has not been determined yet.

Methods

A total of 732 consecutive AMI patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention between January 2013 and January 2015 participated in the study. Blood samples were collected as fast samples on the first morning after admission. The plasma levels of free melatonin were determined using non-extraction radioimmunoassays. The cox regression was used to explore the association between circulating melatonin and endpoints. The median follow-up was 31.6 months.

Results

Patients with high melatonin levels were more likely to be younger and to have poorer blood lipid control. Multivariate cox-regression analyses (adjusted for confounding variables) showed that one unit increase in log-transformed melatonin was not associated with increased risks of major adverse CV events (MACE, composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failure, hazard ratio [HR], 1.74; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.94 to 3.21; p =0.078).

Conclusions

Higher free melatonin levels on the onset of AMI is not associated with MACE in AMI patients, independent of established conventional risk factors.
A Framework for Visualization and Analysis of Agronomic Field Trials from On‐Farm Research Networks
Authors: Laurent Anabelle , Kyveryga Peter , Makowski David , Miguez Fernando 
Published: July 2019

An on‐farm research network is an organization of farmers that conducts agronomic experiments under local conditions. It is common that an elementary statistical analysis be conducted for individual studies. However, there is unexplored potential in detecting yield response variability patterns for better decision making. We developed a data‐analytics framework and web‐application program that allows users to analyze multiple studies that use a common protocol and can identify the conditions where an imposed treatment may or may not be effective. The development of this data‐analytics framework is needed to improve predictions at the farm level that can lead to more cost‐effective, sustainable and environmentally sound agricultural production. Data visualization is an important part of data‐analytics. In this paper, we have developed and tested a Bayesian hierarchical model that can be used to assess the general agronomic performance of different management practices. Decision making related to new management practices should be based on the complete evidence, local conditions and economic considerations. The web‐application includes dynamic data visualization features to enhance communication and sharing of information with the goal to reach a broader audience.Core Ideas

We develop a data‐analytics framework and web‐application for on‐farm research trials.
A Bayesian hierarchical model quantifies the uncertainty in yield response.
The model helps assess alternative practices, products, and technologies among trial locations.
The framework provides a reactive break‐even economic analysis of alternative management practices.
