Published: January 2017

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa behaves as an opportunistic pathogen involved in hospital infections, with high capacity to generate resistance to antibiotic treatment. The interpretative reading of the antibiogram makes possible inferring these resistance mechanisms and establishing appropriate antibiotic treatment.Objective: The interpretative reading of the antibiogram seeks to infer the resistance phenotype of P. aeruginosa at Fundación Hospital de la Misericordia (HOMI, by its acronym in Spanish) between 2006 and 2014.Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study where a search of positive antibiogram reports for P. aeruginosa was performed. The resistance phenotype was deduced based on the interpretative reading of the antibiogram.Results: A sample of 463 positive antibiograms for P. aeruginosa was obtained; these samples were taken from children aged 0 to 17, showing a higher prevalence among infants and toddlers. The antibiograms mainly came from male subjects (62.2%). The most frequent hospitalization services were: PICU —pediatric intensive care unit— (30.2%) and general hospitalization (27.3%). The most common sources of isolation were: blood (24.4%) and urine (23.8%). 11 phenotypes were characterized, being the most common: natural phenotype (63.2%), loss of porin OprD (5.7%) and partial and full AmpC derepression (8.4% and 8.2%, respectively).Conclusion: Isolation of P. aeruginosa at HOMI predominantly shows a natural phenotype. The interpretative reading of the antibiogram allowed inferring 11 phenotypes.

Introduction: During the medical internship year, students attend several hospitals and are observed and influenced by postgraduate students, general practitioners and other interns, who provide them with fundamental support regarding professional training. Bullying is defined as an aggressive behavior that occurs between a perpetrator and a victim in different scenarios and authority relationships, such as clinical practices at Medicine programs.Objective: To describe the perceived frequency of bullying among a group of interns of the Faculty of Medicine from Universidad Nacional de Colombia during internship.Materials and methods: A transversal analytical study was performed through a questionnaire applied to 82 medical interns of the School of Medicine from Universidad Nacional de Colombia.Results: The perceived frequency of bullying was 90%. Statistically significant differences were not found in the stratified analysis by sex or place of practice. In most cases, bullying was perpetrated by other interns, while residents and specialists showed a lower frequency.Conclusion: Perceived frequency of bullying was higher than expected according to the existing literature. These results can be used as a basis for new studies.

Authors: Garrido-Montenegro Maricel , Álvarez-Espinoza Evelyn , Vergara-Ruiz Sebastián 
Published: January 2017

Introduction: Sequels in stroke patients include hemiparesis and dependency for performing basic activities of daily living (BADL). EMG biofeedback has yielded some benefits but has been limited to repetitive movement, therefore, it is insufficient for current task-oriented neurorehabilitation paradigms.Objective: To assess whether the application of EMG biofeedback in upper limbs during BADL training improves motor, occupational and satisfaction performances compared to BADL training without this feedback.Materials and methods: A pilot randomized clinical trial was conducted with stroke patients of more than six months of evolution, who showed hemiparesis and no cognitive deterioration. These patients were randomly classified into two groups: control group, who underwent conventional occupational therapy (COT), and experimental group, who underwent COT+EMG-BF. Patients were given 10 therapy sessions. Entry, evaluation and data analysis were masked.Results: Seven patients were included in each group, showing the same initial clinical and demographic characteristics (p>0.05). The group that underwent COT+EMG-BF showed a significantly better performance in all assessments. For example, the Barthel scale obtained a median of 100 points [85-100] for the COT+EMG-BF group versus 85 [80-90] for the control group (p<0.05), whereas ARAT score was 42 [40-47] points versus 20 [15-38] (p=0.03), respectively.Conclusion: The combination of COT+EMG-BF for BADL may be considered as an alternative for treatment of stroke patients.
Effects of Humidity History on the Tensile Deformation Behaviour of Poly(methyl –methacrylate) (PMMA) Films
Authors: Ishiyama Chiemi , Yamamoto Yoshito , Higo Yakichi 
Published: January 2017

AbstractTensile testing of Poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) films has been conducted to clarify the effects of humidity history upon their tensile properties. Prior to testing, PMMA film specimens were kept under three different humidity conditions for 3 days to adjust the water content to each condition. The conditions used in this study were 11%, 54% and 98% relative humidity (RH) respectively. The tensile strength of PMMA films at these storage humidities tends to decrease with increasing humidity. The tensile deformation behaviour is ductile at 11% and 54% RH although brittle at 98% RH. When tensile tests were performed for different storage terms at 98% RH using specimens which had been equilibrated to 11% RH before testing, the tensile strength decreased within a short storage term. The tensile deformation behaviour, however, remains ductile. The tensile deformation behaviour drastically changes to a brittle mode after a 3 day storage term at 98% RH. This suggests that the tensile strength is affected by moisture around the specimen surfaces. This is attributed to a reduction in the crazing stress as a result of surface moisture. Brittle failure, however, occurs after a long storage term at the high humidity levels tested. This suggests that the ductile manner is caused by both absorbed water and the moisture around the specimen surfaces.
Cloning of a Transglutaminase Gene from an Indonesian Streptomyces Strain
Authors: Chaniago Seprianto 
Published: January 2017

Microbial Transglutaminase (MTGase, EC 2.3.2.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of acyl group. Many microbial strains that produce MTGase belong to Streptomyces members. This research was aimed at cloning of a MTGase gene. PCR–based screening of ten MTGase-producing streptomyces isolates from soil in West Nusa Tenggara led to detection of one potential isolate, designated as TTA 02 SDS 14. The partial MTGase-encoding gene (470 bp) was amplified by PCR and sequenced. The sequence result indicate its similarity of 93 % with that of Streptomyces cinnamoneus. The 16S rRNA gene analysis showed its identity as Streptomyces thioleteus. Fosmid-based construction of a genomic library from the isolate and subsequent screening led to the isolation of a ~40-Kb fosmid harboring a MTGase gene.

Published: January 2017

Background: HIV an abbreviation of human immunodeficiency virus, infection of which in most advanced stage leads to AIDS. HIV/AIDS is both global public health problem and young people are at the centre of global HIV/AIDS pandemic. Lack of information and understanding about HIV/AIDS, increases their susceptibility towards the disease. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the knowledge of HIV/AIDS among the X grade students as well as to know the differences in knowledge across gender.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 250 students studying in X grade of 3 private schools located in Mangalore city, selected by multistage cluster sampling. The study was conducted for duration of 2 weeks using a predesigned and pre-structured questionnaire. Ethical approval from the institution and necessary permission from school authority was obtained prior to initiation of study. Results: Mean age of the study participants was 15.40±0.615. Females were predominant in the age group of 14 and 16 years (100.0% and 53.40% respectively). Majority of them had adequate knowledge of full form of HIV (94.4%), virus as causative agent (85.6%), awareness symbol of HIV/AIDS (86.8%), modes of transmission of HIV (871.6%). Poor knowledge was observed in areas of prevention (60.4%), actions that does not transmit HIV infection (58.0%), availability of blood tests (58.0%) and drugs (42.4%). Males had better knowledge in various areas when compared to females.Conclusions: Stringent efforts are required to improve the knowledge of HIV/AIDS by health education camps and school teachers need to be trained to enhance the knowledge of students.

The description comprised a change in the form<br />of a variety of beliefs, a change in the religious service aspect, and a<br />change in social aspect. <br />The finding of this research was electricity introduced into the village<br />brought specific changes into the religious life of young generation. A<br />change in the belief aspect tended towards irrational belief which<br />increasingly reduced, which meant rasional though increasingly rose. <br />A part of change in religious service aspect tended toward a rise, and<br />another part tended towards a reduction. Activities of reciting Al-Qur 'an<br />at home underwent a change toward a reduction. Activities of reciting<br />Al-Qur'an at the mosque/musala in month of Ramadan did not change.<br />Participation in taraveeh and tadarus Al-Qur 'an in the month of<br />Ramadan rose. Activities of performing congregational prayers at<br />mosque/musala reduced. Activities of Friday prayer, Eid-ul-Fitr prayer,<br />and janaza (funeral) prayer did not change. <br />Changes in the social aspect were various enough. Within the social­<br />relegious group/organization in the village level, a rise in the number<br />of members occurred; participation of the young generation in this<br />activity rose. Relegious education institution and the participation of<br />young generation of the young generation in this institution did not <br />change. Various kinds of activities of PHBI rose and participation of<br />the young generation also increasingly rose. The habit of talking to<br />older people changed, namely after electricity introduced into the vil­<br />lage the young generation seemed not familiar enough with older people,<br />that they lacked of respect for older people, and there was impression<br />that they preferred to use Indonesian language, wich meant they started<br />to leave behind their local vernacular which was full of ethics of personality or of good manner towards older people.

AKTUALISASI AJARAN KONFUSIANISME DALAM MEMBANGUN NASIONALISME ETNIS TIONGHOA (Perspektif Etnis Tionghoa Surakarta)
Authors: Rosidi Achmad 
Published: January 2017

<p><em>Etnis Tionghoa sering mendapat stigma negatif sebagai warga negara Indonesia, karena dianggap kurang memiliki rasa nasionalisme terhadap NKRI. Etnis Tionghoa dianggap memiliki kecenderungan mempertahankan ajaran Konfusianisme yang berbeda dengan keyakinan masyarakat lokal, meskipun telah lama mukim di Indonesia. Fenomena tersebut berusaha diteliti dengan menggunakan paradigma kualitatif-fenomenologi untuk mengungkap kontekstualisasi ajaran Konfusianisme dalam membangun nilai-nilai nasionalisme. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ajaran Konfusianisme memuat nilai-nilai cinta tanah air sejak kecil, bermula dari penanaman moral yang luhur, berbakti pada orang tua, leluhur, dan hormat kepada orang yang lebih tua. Proses aktualisasi nilai-nilai cinta tanah air dalam Konfusianisme adalah penguatan moral generasi muda agar tidak mudah terkikis oleh perilaku yang merusak tatanan sosial dan tatanan bernegara dan penguatan integrasi etnis Tionghoa dalam kerangka NKRI dengan struktur masyarakat yang majemuk.</em></p><p><strong><em>Kata kunci: </em></strong><em>Etnis Tionghoa, Konfusianisme, kontekstualisasi, aktualisasi, nasionalisme.</em></p>

Women Workers in Agricultural Sector: A Literature Review
Authors: Multani Neela , Sanghvi A. N. 
Published: January 2017

<div><p><em>For any research, literature review is an essential part as it helps in identifying the area of research. Agriculture is the main source of sustenance for both developing and under developed countries. In countries like India, women’s position is not as strong as men both economically and socially and she faces more constraints than men. They cannot relocate easily. Women in rural areas have to manage multiple activities like maintaining home, making food, arranging water etc. and they are working in farms also. So, they are living hard life. All the activities performed by rural women is essential for the well-being of the rural households, still they are not defined as ‘economically active employment’ in national accounts. In India, 24 percent to total workers work as female cultivators and 41.1 percent to total workers work as female agricultural labourers. Past studies also relieved that because of less education, unawareness about the laws, poverty and gender discrimination, women workers face many problems. Also, few studies show that in some parts of the nation women workers are being paid less than the male workers. This Paper reviews past research studies to highlight the role and position of women workers in agricultural sector. </em></p></div>
