Published: November 2017

Ο όρος ‘διαταραχή ελλειμματικής προσοχής / υπερκινητικότητα’ (ΔΕΠ-Υ) αναφέρεται σε παιδιά και ενήλικες, που αντιμετωπίζουν σοβαρές συμπεριφορικές και γνωστικές δυσκολίες σε σημαντικούς τομείς , όπως στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις, στο σχολείο, στην εργασία και στην οικογένεια, Τα παιδιά με ΔΕΠΥ συχνά απογοητεύουν δασκάλους, γονείς και συμμαθητές. Απορρίπτονται, αγνοούνται. Προκαλούν μεγάλη πίεση σ’ αυτούς με τους οποίους αλληλεπιδρούν.Οι Δευτερογενείς επιπτώσεις της ΔΕΠΥ οφείλονται στον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι άλλοι χειρίζονται /συμπεριφέρονται στο παιδί που συχνά βιώνει απόρριψη, συναισθηματικά προβλήματα, χαμηλή αυτοεκτίμηση, απόσυρση, που μπορεί να οδηγήσουν σε διαταραχές διαγωγής. Η αποτελεσματική αντιμετώπιση στηρίζεται στη δημιουργία και διατήρηση στενής σχέσης συνεργασίας μεταξύ οικογένειας και δασκάλων. Η εξέλιξη του παιδιού περιορίζεται αν οι γονείς δεν είναι συνεργάτες, δεδομένου ότι γνωρίζουν το παιδί τους καλύτερα από τον καθένα.Η στήριξη και ενδυνάμωση των γονέων μέσω της συμβουλευτικής, είναι λοιπόν καθοριστικής σημασίας. Οι παρεμβάσεις βασίζονται στα δυνατά στοιχεία και τις ανάγκες τις οικογένειας. Με τη βοήθεια της συμβουλευτικής οι γονείς μαθαίνουν μέσω της ενδυνάμωσης νέους θετικούς τρόπους εναλλακτικούς τρόπους αντιμετώπισης του προβλήματος και πρόσβαση σε εξωτερικές πήγες υποστήριξης όπως η κοινότητα
Assessment of injection safety in Ha Dong General Hospital, Hanoi, in 2012
Authors: Van Tuong Phan , Phuong Tran Thi Minh , Anh Bui Thi My , Nguyen Trang Huyen Thi 
Published: November 2017

Background: Injection is one of the most frequently used medical methods to introduce drugs or other substances into the body for purposes of treatment or prevention. Unsafe injection can cause adverse outcomes, such as abscess and anaphylactic shock, and increases the risk of blood-borne transmission of viruses to patients and health care workers, as well as the community. Recognizing the importance of injection safety, in 2000 the Vietnamese Ministry of Health (MOH) collaborated with the Vietnam Nurses Association to launch the “Safe injection” program throughout the country, including Hanoi. Methods: This cross-sectional study, combining quantitative and qualitative analysis, was conducted from February to August 2012 in Ha Dong General Hospital using a structured questionnaire and observation checklist. The target population of the study was 109 nurses working in clinical departments and 436 injections were observed. Results: The percentage of nurses who are familiar with injection safety standards was found to be 82.6%. The proportion of practical injections that met the 23 standards of injection safety set by the MOH amounted to 22.2%. The factors related to safe injection practice of nurses who were younger age group (OR=3.1; p<0.05) and fewer number of years working as a nurse (OR=2.8; p<0.05). Conclusions: While nurses have high level of knowledge about safe injections but a small proportion actually practiced. Experience may not always guarantee safe practices. Injection safety training should be regularly imparted upon all categories of nurses.
Introduction

Published: November 2017

Abstract
In his October 2013 report, Mr Maystadt discussed the possibility of clarifying and expanding the ‘public good’ criterion in EU Accounting Framework, namely that: Any accounting standards adopted should not jeopardise financial stability, and they must not hinder the EU’s economic development. He also suggested that more thorough analysis of compliance with the criteria of prudence and respect for the public good was needed. Since 2013, the European Commission further announced a ten-years assessment of the application of the International Accounting Standards (IFRS) in Europe, as well as an harmonisation project for European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS) led by Eurostat. By convening together leading scholars and policy-makers, this workshop aims to contribute to this debate about the consequences of accounting regulation for Europe’s economy and society, concerning both public and private sectors.
Harmonising European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS): Issues and Perspectives
Authors: Biondi Yuri 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
An important reform project is ongoing concerning harmonising Europe’s public sector accounting standards (EPSAS). The European Commission appears willing to mimic and take the international private sector accounting as frame of reference, following the same pattern of implementation for international public sector accounting standards (IPSAS) that was enacted for the IAS-IFRS. But the Member States did react in a different way, this time, showing alert, raising questions, and providing resistance in some cases. Public sector accounting shall be considered in the specific context provided by public finances in general, and by a monetary union in particular. This paper takes perspective on these specificities while raising issues (i) on the EPSAS-making governance; (ii) relationship between cash-basis and accrual-basis of accounting; (iii) accounting for governmental liabilities by Member States; and (iv) evidence of net assets under accruals-basis.

Abstract
This article is based upon a speech given at the international workshop on “Which accounting regulation for Europe’s economy and society?” held at the European Parliament, Strasbourg, on May 20, 2015, in tribute to Mr Jérôme Haas (1963–2014), first chairman of the Accounting Standards Authority of France (ANC).
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS): Stress Testing in Financialized Reporting Entities
Authors: Haslam Colin 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
These remarks deal with financialisation of accounting. Financialisation is a process by which windfall capital market gains are crystallised from future earnings over and above those available from current earnings and profit. Accounting numbers reported by business firms are increasingly including the product of windfall gains from capital markets into those accounting numbers. Thus a significant disturbance in market valuations embedded in firm’s assets and earnings could have a significant and material impact upon firm-level financial stability.
Dysregulated pathways for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Authors: Li Xu , Xiang Dao-Kang , Shu Yi-Zhu , Feng Cheng-Hui 
Published: November 2017

AbstractBackgroundThe objective of this paper was to identify dysregulated myocardial pathways with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) based on pathway interaction network (PIN).MethodologyTo achieve this goal, firstly, gene expression profiles, protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and pathway data were collected. Secondly, we constructed a PIN by integrating these data and Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) algorithm. Next, for every pathway in the PIN, its activity was counted dependent on the principal component analysis (PCA) method to select the seed pathway. Ultimately, a minimum pathway set (MPS) was extracted from the PIN on the basis of the seed pathway and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) index, and pathways in the MPS were denoted as dysregulated pathways.ResultsThe PIN had 1,189 nodes and 22,756 interactions, of which mitochondrial translation termination was the seed pathway. Starting with mitochondrial translation termination, a MPS (AUROC = 0.983) with 7 nodes and 26 edges was obtained. The 7 pathways were regarded as dysregulated myocardial pathways with OPCABG.ConclusionThe findings might provide potential biomarkers to diagnose early, serve as the evidence to perform the OPCABG and predict inflammatory response and myocardial reperfusion injury after OPCABG in the future.
In vitro activity of allicin combined with two antibiotics on intestinal Shigella
Authors: Jia Yuchi , Wu Xiaomei 
Published: November 2017

Abstract

Objective
We aimed to evaluate the combined antibacterial effects of allicin in combination with levofloxacin and ceftriaxone on Shigella isolated from the intestinal tract in vitro.

Materials and Methods
Using a checkerboard design, broth microdilution assay was used to test the effects of the compounds on the organism. We also determined the MIC of the two groups of antibacterial drugs against 30 strains of Shigella and calculated the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index, to judge the combination effect.

Result
After the combined application of allicin and ceftriaxone the MIC decreased significantly. Distribution of the FIC index was as follows: FIC ≤0.5, accounting for 10%; 0.5< FIC ≤1.0, accounting for 60%; 1 < FIC ≤2, accounting for 30%; FIC >2, percentage is zero. After combined application of allicin and levofloxacin, distribution of FIC index was as follows: FIC≤0.5, ratio is zero; 0.5< FIC ≤1, accounting for 56.7%; 1 < FIC ≤2, accounting for 43.3%; FIC >2, ratio is zero.

Conclusion
After the combined use of ceftriaxone, levofloxacin, and allicin, most of the tests showed synergistic effects and additive effects on Shigella, while some of them showed no correlation and no antagonistic effect.
The mysterious relation between inflammation and prostate cancer
Authors: Zhao Yu 
Published: November 2017

AbstractRecent studies showed that inflammation is a critical cause for initiation and/or development of many cancers. In prostate cancer (PC), the inflammatory cells usually populate an immune-competent organ. This inflammatory organ can be involved in the initiation and progression of PC. Here, we mainly focus on the role of inflammation in the PC and progression of castration-resistant PC (CRPC). Moreover, we summarize the roles of inflammation factors (such as chemokines and cytokines) in PC and CRPC. Taken together, this review gives an insight into therapy for PC and CRPC through anti-inflammation.

Published: November 2017

AbstractImmune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), a common complication of AIDS, is further complicated by tuberculosis. Its clinical symptoms lack specificity but can be evaluated using diagnostic imaging. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is useful in evaluating the morphology and internal microstructure of lesions associated with the syndrome, as well as the relationship of the internal microstructure with the surrounding tissues. This paper summarizes the present state and progress of imaging research on IRIS caused by AIDS and complicated by tuberculosis.
Between the Carnal and the Spiritual: The
Parsifal
of T. W. Rolleston
Authors: Ropa Anastasija 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
During the national revival between the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, medieval texts, including the matter of Arthur, became available to audiences both in the form of new editions and creative adaptations. Among the latter, the operas of Richard Wagner, inspired by medieval and, in particular, Arthurian motifs, were influential far beyond Germany. One of the authors who drew inspiration from Wagner’s work was T. W. Rolleston, an Irishman who is better known nowadays for his political works, but who also wrote works inspired by medieval matter, both Celtic and Arthurian. The present article discusses a poem of T. W. Rolleston, Parsifal or the Legend of the Holy Grail, which was published for the first time in 1912, in a luxurious edition illustrated by Willy Pogány. The aim of the article is to examine the interaction between carnality and spirituality in the version of salvation through the Holy Grail created by Rolleston and Pogány, while highlighting the impact of three Rolleston’s sources, Richard Wagner’s opera Parsifal, Wolfram von Eschenbach’s romance Parzival and Chrétien de Troyes’s Perceval.
À quoi bon la préhistoire du
Tristan en prose
? Mise au point et nouvelles perspectives
Authors: Hess Dominik 
Published: November 2017

Résumé
La présente étude vise à examiner les différents aspects établis par la critique concernant le début du Tristan en prose, à savoir l’histoire des ancêtres du héros éponyme qui relie la famille de Tristan à celle des gardiens du Graal, dont son ancêtre, Sadoc, serait le neveu de Joseph d’Arimathie et le frère d’Helain le Blanc.
Cette “préhistoire“ a dû subir le jugement inexorable de G. Paris qui n’a su attribuer aucune valeur littéraire à cette partie introductive au roman et la jugeait complètement inutile. La critique a, notamment suite à la publication du premier tome de l’édition par R. L. Curtis en 1963, pris deux positions diamétralement opposées dont un réexamen sera de mise : celle qui n’a pas cessé de défendre l’utilité de la préhistoire pour la suite du roman, car elle est imprégnée, entre autres, de la thématique de l’amour-passion au même titre que le récit tristanien qui s’ensuit. De l’autre côté, de nombreuses études ont montré que la préhistoire, bien qu’elle introduise la thématique du Graal tout au début, n’a aucun impact sur le destin de Tristan, qui est dû à son penchant pour la luxure, exclu a priori de la Quête du Graal qui a lieu plus tard dans le roman.
De plus, notre étude montrera d’autres points mis en évidence par la critique ainsi que des perspectives pour la recherche concernant ce sujet : outre la question de l’intertextualité, avec comme modèle principal l’ombre mythique d’Œdipe, et la dominance de Chelinde, l’élément féminin, comme point-pivot de l’histoire, le chantier le plus évident reste le réexamen de la tradition textuelle pour laquelle Curtis avait, jadis, établi un stemma, mais dont la méthodologie est aujourd’hui dépassée. Ainsi, nous espérons qu’un jour il sera possible, grâce à un classement des manuscrits obtenu par des méthodes plus opérables pour le traitement des textes en prose, de pouvoir apporter de nouvelles connaissances de la genèse d’au moins une partie de cette œuvre littéraire très vaste.
Maternal demographic factors associated with emergency caesarean section for non-reassuring foetal status
Authors: Mendis Ramali , Flatley Christopher , Kumar Sailesh 
Published: November 2017

Abstract

Objectives:
This study aimed to determine maternal and obstetric factors associated with emergency caesarean section (CS) for non-reassuring foetal status (NRFS).

Materials and methods:
This was a retrospective analysis of term singleton births between January 2007 and December 2015 at the Mater Mother’s Hospital in Brisbane. The study group comprised all cases of emergency CS for NRFS, and the control cohort comprised all other births meeting the inclusion criteria but excluding those in the study cohort.

Results:
Over the study period, there were 74,177 births fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The overall rate of emergency CS for NRFS was 4.2% (3132/74,177). Multivariate analysis showed that being overweight and obese, Indian and “other” ethnicity, artificial reproductive techniques, smoking, induction of labour and gestation at 39–42 weeks were associated with an increased risk, whereas being underweight, female sex, hypertension and birth without labour conferred a lower risk.

Conclusion:
Many maternal and obstetric factors were associated with emergency CS for NRFS and influenced adverse perinatal outcomes. Recognition of these risk factors could help risk stratify women prior to labour.
Asymptotic approximation for the solution to a semi-linear elliptic problem in a thin aneurysm-type domain
Authors: Mel’nyk Taras A. , Klevtsovskiy Arsen V. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
A semi-linear boundary-value problem with nonlinear Robin boundary conditions is considered in a thin 3D aneurysm-type domain that consists of thin curvilinear cylinders that are joined through an aneurysm of diameter 𝓞(ε). Using the multi-scale analysis, the asymptotic approximation for the solution is constructed and justified as the parameter ε → 0. Namely, we derive the limit problem (ε = 0) in the corresponding graph, define other terms of the asymptotic approximation and prove energetic and uniform pointwise estimates. These estimates allow us to observe the impact of the aneurysm on some properties of the solution.

Repression of the Spanish Protest Movement – Mechanisms and Consequences
Authors: Simsa Ruth 
Published: November 2017

AbstractBased on longitudinal qualitative research, the paper analyses manifestations and mechanisms of the repression of activists of the Spanish protest movement 15M, and effects of this repression perceived by activists. To contextualize this, the background of the movement, its goals, and its achievements are described. The movement started in 2011, protesting the social crisis, the consequences of austerity policies, and corruption. It had viable effects on the framing of the current situation, in political attitudes and also, indirectly, on the political system. The Spanish government has responded to movement activities with repression and with new laws that interviewees characterize as a further restriction of the civil right to demonstrate and protest. Findings indicate that the combination of overt and covert repression have effects far beyond the manifest acts of the repression itself.
Comparative study of stirred and fluidized tank reactor for hydroxyl-kojic acid derivatives synthesis and their biological activities
Authors: Lajis Ahmad Firdaus B. , Hamid Muhajir , Ahmad Syahida , Ariff Arbakariya B. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract

Background
Study on the synthesis of kojic acid derivatives (KADs) in solvent-free system using scalable reactors and their biological activities is still lacking.

Methods
In this study, two types of KADs, were synthesized using saturated-fatty acid [lauric acid (LA)] and unsaturated-fatty acid [oleic acid (OA)] in stirred tank reactor (STR) and fluidized tank reactor (FTR). The yield and biological activities of the synthesized KADs were evaluated and compared.

Results
The highest yield of KADs (42.95%) was obtained in the synthesis using OA, with molar ratio of 1:1, enzyme loading of 5% (w/v), temperature of 70°C, using immobilized lipase N435 in STR. However, FTR may provide biocatalyst protection and reusability with reduced loss of KADs yield up to three cycles. In antioxidant assay, the hydroxyl-unsaturated-fatty acid of kojic acid (HUFA-KA) showed better activity as compared to hydroxyl-saturated-fatty acid of kojic acid (HSFA-KA) at concentrations ranging from 125 to 2000 μg/mL. In contrast, HSFA-KA showed better cytotoxicity effect against G361 melanoma cell as compared to HUFA-KA.

Conclusion
The yield of KADs obtained in STR was higher than that obtained in FTR. HUFA-KA could be used as potential lipophilic antioxidant while HSFA-KA has the potential to be used to treat melanoma skin disorder.
Microsatellite-based characterization of cotton genotypes for verticillium wilt and fiber quality traits
Authors: Saeed Amna , Elçi Eminur 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important natural textile fiber crop grown worldwide. Several biotic and abiotic stress factors affect cotton yield due to lower genetic diversity for the traits of particular interest. Verticillium wilt (VW) is one of the major factors incurring huge cotton yield losses. The most effective management option against VW is the development of resistant cultivars. The resistant cultivars must also have superior fiber quality and yield traits. Therefore, the current study was aimed at screening some of the identified simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers for VW resistance and fiber quality traits of cotton genotypes in Turkey. Fifty different cultivars were screened with 30 SSR markers. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was conducted to amplify the SSR markers. The amplified bands were scored as 0 or 1 for absence and presence, respectively. For the molecular data analysis, polymorphism information content (PIC) values of molecular markers were calculated. Among tested SSR markers 13 were found polymorphic, which produced a total of 677 loci. The number of alleles per marker ranged from 1 to 4 and, overall average PIC values of markers ranged from 0.00 to 0.76, respectively. Principal component analysis executed on presence absence data yielded two distinct groups of cultivars screened. Hierarchical clustering revealed low genetic diversity among the tested cultivars. Based on the results TamcotCamdES, Gloria, Natalia, Lydia, Teks, Tamcot SP37H, N87 and BA525 are the promising cultivars for further breeding studies. The results of the current study also revealed that 4 SSR markers (DPL752 and DPL322 for fiber traits, DPL0022 and GH215 for VW resistance) out of 30 could be used for improving VW resistance and fiber quality in cotton through marker assisted selection.
Individual, Organizational, and Institutional Predictors of the Granting of Employer-sponsored Disability Accommodations
Authors: Breward Katherine 
Published: November 2017

This research examines the predictors of accommodation granting among adult workers with disabilities using data collected from 5,418 respondents to a Statistics Canada post 2006 census survey called the Participation and Activity Limitation Survey. Using a rational choice perspective that focuses on perceived utility (limited by social identity effects), I test a series of hypotheses about individual, organizational, and institutional variables that predict willingness to grant disability-related workplace accommodations. One key finding is that different predictors are significant for different types of accommodations, highlighting the need to avoid generalizing from one type of accommodation to another. Another important finding is that, as a category, individual variables directly related to disability explained a greater amount of variance in accommodation granting than other aspects of personal identity, organizational factors, or institutional variables. There was evidence that decision-making was influenced by stereotyping and the stigmatization of particular disability types. There was also evidence that occupational and industry-based logics of appropriateness are salient for the most commonly requested types of accommodations. Meanwhile institutional forces meant to act as behavioural controls, such as legislation and union protection, do not seem to be having the intended positive influence on accommodation provision in the workplace. The findings suggest that other forms of intervention, such as community education, may be required to encourage greater access to workplace accommodations.
