Authors: Ahmed Rasha Eltayeb , Abdelatif Ali Nour Mahmoud 
Published: February 2018

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is association between preeclampsia and plasma homocysteine
levels and moreover to investigate its association with the severity of the disease.
Material and method: A case control study was performed on a total of 61 pregnant patients, classified to 31
preeclamptic ladies and 30 normotensive pregnant ladies. Homocysteine levels were assessed using A15 analyzer.
Results: Plasma homocysteine levels were significantly higher in preeclamptic ladies than normotensive pregnant ladies
(13.25±4.35) mol/L with significant difference (P.value: 0.000). Higher levels of plasma homocysteine with a mean
(16.4585) mol/L were associated to the severity preeclampsia with significant difference (P.value: 0.000).
Conclusion: Plasma homocysteine levels were significantly increased in preeclamptic ladies

Published: February 2018

Abstract
In power system, utility engineers are often faced with the challenge of reinforcing weak power networks without adding any new infrastructures. This paper analyses the topological structure of a topologically weak network and then institutes a way of reinforcing the network through restructuring. The proposed scheme explores the concept of network structural characteristics of power networks in conjunction with the shortest electrical distance from graph theory. The branch impedances of new sets of candidate transmission lines that could possibly reinforce the existing structurally weak network are determined. The standard IEEE 5-bus and 30-bus test systems are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The results obtained show that the proposed approach is generally useful in power system network design, planning and efficient operation.

Published: February 2018

AbstractA coupled multiphysics phase field framework is proposed to model anodic dissolution induced by stress corrosion fracture growth at microstructual level. The effects of electrochemical-mechanical processes (including crystal anisotropy) are all taken into account. This new model is based upon: (i) an anisotropic phase transformation model based on a variational formulation to describe material dissolution along preferential directions; (ii) an efficient description of grain boundaries as a smeared cohesive zone; (iii) an explicit approximation to model the different electrochemical behaviors between grain boundary and grain interior. Both intergranular and transgranular stress corrosion cracking is simulated in an efficient manner. The abilities of the proposed model are illustrated through several numerical examples involving a full prediction of complex crack network growth induced by stress corrosion cracking within 2D polycrystaline models.
Altruismus aus Sicht der Sozialen Neurowissenschaften
Authors: Windmann Sabine , Hein Grit 
Published: February 2018

Zusammenfassung
Altruismus ist ein verblüffendes Phänomen, vor allem aus Sicht der Biologie und der Ökonomie. Warum geben Individuen anderen etwas von ihren Ressourcen ab und verringern damit ihre eigenen Möglichkeiten? Die Antwort auf diese Frage kann auf ultimater oder proximater Ebene gesucht werden. Die Sozialen Neurowissenschaften versuchen, die Gehirnmechanismen zu spezifizieren, die Menschen dazu antreiben, altruistisch zu handeln, denn äußerlich gleiches Verhalten kann durch unterschiedliche Motive bedingt sein. Aktivierungen und funktionelle Konnektivitäten der Anterioren Insula und der Temporoparietalen Junction spielen bestimmbare Rollen bei empathiebasiertem versus strategischem Altruismus, während der dorsolaterale präfrontale Kortex, neben anderen Regionen, bei punitiven Formen von Altruismus involviert ist. Zukünftige Forschungsarbeiten könnten sich auf die Verarbeitung von Ambiguität und Konflikt in der Verfolgung altruistischer Absichten beziehen.

Abstract

Background
During radiotherapy of left-sided breast cancer, parts of the heart are irradiated, which may lead to late toxicity. We report on the experience of single institution with cardiac-sparing radiotherapy using voluntary deep inspiration breath hold (V-DIBH) and compare its dosimetric outcome with free breathing (FB) technique.

Patients and methods
Left-sided breast cancer patients, treated at our department with postoperative radiotherapy of breast/chest wall +/– regional lymph nodes between May 2015 and January 2017, were considered for inclusion. FB-computed tomography (CT) was obtained and dose-planning performed. Cases with cardiac V25Gy ≥ 5% or risk factors for heart disease were coached for V-DIBH. Compliant patients were included. They underwent additional CT in V-DIBH for planning, followed by V-DIBH radiotherapy. Dose volume histogram parameters for heart, lung and optimized planning target volume (OPTV) were compared between FB and BH. Treatment setup shifts and systematic and random errors for V-DIBH technique were compared with FB historic control.

Results
Sixty-three patients were considered for V-DIBH. Nine (14.3%) were non-compliant at coaching, leaving 54 cases for analysis. When compared with FB, V-DIBH resulted in a significant reduction of mean cardiac dose from 6.1 +/– 2.5 to 3.2 +/– 1.4 Gy (p < 0.001), maximum cardiac dose from 51.1 +/– 1.4 to 48.5 +/– 6.8 Gy (p = 0.005) and cardiac V25Gy from 8.5 +/– 4.2 to 3.2 +/– 2.5% (p < 0.001). Heart volumes receiving low (10–20 Gy) and high (30–50 Gy) doses were also significantly reduced. Mean dose to the left anterior coronary artery was 23.0 (+/– 6.7) Gy and 14.8 (+/– 7.6) Gy on FB and V-DIBH, respectively (p < 0.001). Differences between FB- and V-DIBH-derived mean lung dose (11.3 +/– 3.2	vs. 10.6 +/– 2.6 Gy), lung V20Gy (20.5 +/– 7 vs. 19.5 +/– 5.1 Gy) and V95% for the OPTV (95.6 +/– 4.1 vs. 95.2 +/– 6.3%) were non-significant. V-DIBH-derived mean shifts for initial patient setup were ≤ 2.7 mm. Random and systematic errors were ≤ 2.1 mm. These results did not differ significantly from historic FB controls.

Conclusions
When compared with FB, V-DIBH demonstrated high setup accuracy and enabled significant reduction of cardiac doses without compromising the target volume coverage. Differences in lung doses were non-significant.

Abstract
Hills, SP, Rogerson, DJ. Associatons between self-reported well-being and neuromuscular performance during a professional rugby union season. J Strength Cond Res 32(9): 2498–2509, 2018—Self-reported wellness is often used to monitor fatigue responses to training and competition. Constraints within team sports mean short-form wellness questionnaires are typically preferred to literature-validated documents. This research aimed to assess the relationship between self-reported wellness and neuromuscular (NM) performance during a professional rugby union season, and to identify changes in these parameters over a 12-week period. On the first training day each week, before activity, 37 players rated 5 wellness subscales (“fatigue/vigor,” “upper-body soreness,” “lower-body soreness,” “mood,” and “sleep quality/duration”) on a 1–5 Likert scale (1 representing the lowest wellness), and 5-repetition countermovement jumps (CMJs) were completed after a warm-up. Each week, total wellness, wellness subscales, and 4 CMJ measures for each participant were calculated as change from baseline. Within-participant correlations were determined between changes in wellness and CMJ measures, whereas week-to week differences and differences from baseline were assessed using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Within-participant correlations were compared for players grouped by age and position. Wellness and CMJ scores fluctuated according to physical stress, persisted beneath baseline throughout, and showed declining trends over 12 weeks. Very large (r = 0.7–0.89)/large (r = 0.5–0.69) correlations were identified between wellness and CMJ variables (positive: velocity, dip, time; negative: duration), and each wellness subscale displayed large/very large positive correlations with CMJ velocity. This was true for all subgroups, although subtle differences existed between ages and positions. It was concluded that players' subjective wellness is a useful tool, ideally used within a broader monitoring scheme, for monitoring ongoing NM fatigue, which increased from week to week.

Abstract
McKay, BD, Miramonti, AA, Gillen, ZM, Leutzinger, TJ, Mendez, AI, Jenkins, NDM, and Cramer, JT. Normative reference values for high school-aged American football players. J Strength Cond Res 34(10): 2849–2856, 2020—The purpose of the present report was to provide test- and position-specific normative reference values for combine test results based on a large, nationally representative sample of high school-aged American football players in their freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. Cross-sectional anthropometric and performance data were obtained from 12 different high school American football recruiting combines between March 7, 2015, and January 9, 2016, across the United States. Subjects included a sample (n = 7,478) of high school-aged American football athletes in their junior (n = 3,779), sophomore (n = 2,514), and freshman (n = 1,185) classes. The database included combine date, school state, position, class, height, body mass (BM), 40-yard dash, pro-agility, 3-cone, vertical jump, broad jump, and power push-up. Each player self-classified their American football positions as defensive back, defensive end, defensive linemen, linebacker, offensive linemen, quarterback, running back, tight end (TE), or wide receiver. Test- and position-specific normative values were generated by aggregating data from freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. Mean differences were found among classes for all positions and all measurements (p ≤ 0.05), except for TE BM (p > 0.05). Greater differences for all variables were observed from freshman to sophomore classes than from sophomore to junior classes. These normative reference values may provide realistic comparisons and evaluations in performance for young American football players, parents, and coaches with collegiate football aspirations. High school strength and conditioning professionals should use these norms to set attainable goals and reward accomplishments for young football players.

Abstract
Loturco, I, Suchomel, T, Kobal, R, Arruda, AFS, Guerriero, A, Pereira, LA, and Pai, CN. Force-velocity relationship in three different variations of prone row exercises. J Strength Cond Res 35(2): 300–309, 2021—This study examined the force-velocity relationship and tested the possibility of determining the relative loading intensity percentage of 1 repetition maximum (%1RM) in 3 different variations of prone row exercises. Thirty male top-level athletes from 2 different sports (National Team rugby union players and professional mixed martial arts fighters) were submitted to maximum dynamic strength assessments in the free prone bench pull, bent-over barbell row, and bent-over Smith machine row, after standard procedures encompassing lifts performed from 40 to 100% of 1RM. The mean velocity, mean propulsive velocity, and peak velocity were measured in all attempts. Linear regression analyses were performed to establish the relationships between the different measures of bar velocities and %1RM. The actual (obtained during the assessments) and predicted 1RM values (based on the predictive equations) for each exercise were compared using a paired t-test. In all exercises, the predicted 1RM scores—based on all velocity variables—were not different from their respective actual values. The close linear relationships between bar velocities and distinct %1RM (coefficient of determination ≥80%, in all experimental conditions) allow precise determination of relative load and maximum dynamic strength, and enable coaches and sports scientists to use the different velocity outputs to rapidly and accurately monitor their athletes on a daily basis.
La recrianza humanizada: Un giro a las relaciones de poder y al paradigma adultocéntrico en las instituciones de protección de niños, niñas y adolescentes en situación de vulneración de derechos
Authors: Zuluaga-Gómez Armando 
Published: February 2018

This reflection is based on the notes recorded in a field journal and its objective is to systematize the experience acquired as an educator in the Diagnostic and Derivation Center, operated by the University of Antioquia through the Grow with Dignity Project (Zuluaga, 2015-2016), attached to the Unit of Childhood, in the City of Medellín, Colombia, whose purpose is the immediate protection of children and adolescents in situations of violation of rights. We will analyze, here, the power relations that are established within the adult-centered paradigm; we will reveal the genesis of child abuse in these relations, and we will see how these normalized practices in the upbringing of children by their families of origin permeate the protection institutions that have been created to accomplish processes of restoration of rights. When unequal power relationships are instituted and legitimated within the family, the hegemony of adults over childhood is consolidated, and the latter ends up being objectified, like this normalizing their abuse. These relational paradigms are also susceptible to reproduction in educational institutions, including those aimed at the protection of children in situations of violation of rights. We will suggest a proposal called humanized reeducation, which is indicated for group leadership in protection institutions, a task entrusted to educators.

Se realizó un análisis multitemporal del paisaje del municipio de Puerto Berrío (Antioquia), para los años 1985, 2001 y 2011, utilizando sensores remotos en un área de 15.000 ha. Se evidenció gran dinámica en la estructura y composición del paisaje y una alta heterogeneidad en el 2001, con tendencia a homogenización en el 2011. Se detectaron cambios “positivos” de pastos a rastrojos y bosques de 1985 al 2001, mientras que del 2001 al 2011 se evidenciaron pérdidas y fragmentación de bosques. Esta transformación se relaciona con el abandono de las tierras y el desplazamiento en las décadas de 1980 y 1990, así como con el posterior retorno y la reactivación de las actividades económicas en la década del 2000. Se estimaron unas rutas de conectividad potencial norte-sur entre los bosques de interés, mostrando alta fragmentación transversal en el paisaje.

Staff allotment is a crucial job in industry sector. Human resource plays leading rule to achieve success of the industry. The Data mining is analytical method to allot the right job for right man. This is not easiest job to match the work schedule in large industrial sector. There is a large databases have to be maintain each and every department. There must be a need for perfect knowledge discovery model to retrieve the information about the staff. From that the management can make perfect schedule. The data mining approaches will make suitable to make the work schedule. how can be Data mining techniques and k mean algorithm process the effective job will be the theme of this article.
Data mining may be regarded as an evolving approach to data analysis in very large databases that could become a useful tool to management professionals. Data mining involves extracting knowledge based on patterns of data in very large databases. Yet, data mining goes beyond simply performing data analysis on large data sets. Organizations that employ thousands of employees and track a multitude of employment-related information might find valuable information patterns contained within their databases to provide insights in such areas as employee retention and compensation planning. To develop the staff planning and allotment, the k mean clustering algorithm can be used for this job. K mean is a method is popularly for cluster analysis in data mining .k means clustering aims to part ion n observations into k clusters in which each observation belongs to the cluster with nearest mean serving as prototype of cluster. k mean algorithm is can be grouped employees as a different cluster with nearest mean.

Entre os meios consensuais de solução de conflitos temos a mediação como forma de autonomia privada, uma ferramenta posta a serviço do Estado Democrático de Direito, e que se concretiza como meio consensual para solução de conflitos de interesses. Este e outros institutos de autocomposição adquiriram força graças a Lei n. 13.105 de 2015 instituidora do Código de Processo Civil, que em seu parágrafo 3º, art. 3º. positivou-a como uma autêntica política de Estado. Este estudo é de cunho qualitativo apoiado por um referencial teórico que procurou fazer uma revisão da bibliografia relacionada à tradição judicial e os novos paradigmas da sociedade globalizada que privilegia formas extrajudiciais de composição de conflitos. Conclui-se que os meios consensuais de solução de conflitos têm se destacado como um valioso instrumento de cooperação frente a um mundo povoado de contradições da sociedade da informação.</span>
