Authors: Barrera Salazar Daniel , Williams Chris 
Published: January 2018

AbstractSince Rob Pollack and Glenn Stevens used overconvergent modular symbols to construct$p$-adic$L$-functions for non-critical slope rational modular forms, the theory has been extended to construct$p$-adic$L$-functions for non-critical slope automorphic forms over totally real and imaginary quadratic fields by the first and second authors, respectively. In this paper, we give an analogous construction over a general number field. In particular, we start by proving a control theorem stating that the specialisation map from overconvergent to classical modular symbols is an isomorphism on the small slope subspace. We then show that if one takes the modular symbol attached to a small slope cuspidal eigenform, then one can construct a ray class distribution from the corresponding overconvergent symbol, which moreover interpolates critical values of the$L$-function of the eigenform. We prove that this distribution is independent of the choices made in its construction. We define the$p$-adic$L$-function of the eigenform to be this distribution.

RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar a sobrevida, em cinco anos, de mulheres com câncer de mama. Método: estudo quantitativo, descritivo, exploratório, documental, constituído de 62 prontuários de mulheres atendidas em um Projeto de Extensão. Os dados foram analisados pelo Teste Exato de Fisher, Curva de Kaplan Meier e software R. Resultados: 61,29% (n=38) tiveram câncer de mama com idade entre 50-69 anos; 35,49% (n=22) foram acometidas por metástase; 37,1% (n=23) delas morreram, sendo que a maior causa foi o câncer de mama 87% (n=54). A sobrevida foi de 80%, com tempo médio de 11,27 anos. As mulheres que tiveram metástase possuíam 3,67 mais chances de morrer (p=0,00658), por isso, elas tiveram uma sobrevida menor (p= 00171). Conclusão: a incidência do câncer de mama foi maior em pacientes com faixa etária de 50-69 anos, o que está em acordo com a cobertura de programas de rastreamento preconizados pelo Ministério da Saúde.

Meaningful Use and Electronic Laboratory Reporting: Challenges Health Information Technology Vendors Face in Kentucky
Authors: Abisa Michael 
Published: January 2018

Objectives: To explore the challenges Health Information Technology (HIT) vendors face to satisfy the requirements for Meaningful Use (MU) and Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR) of reportable diseases to the public health departments in Kentucky.Methodology: A survey was conducted of Health Information Exchange (HIE) vendors in Kentucky through the Kentucky Health Information Exchange (KHIE). The survey was cross-sectional. Data were collected between February and March 2014. Participants were recruited from KHIE vendors. Participants received online survey link and by email and asked to submit their responses. Vendors’ feedback were summarized and analyzed to identify their challenges. Out of the 55 vendors who received the survey, 35(63.64%) responded.Results: Of the seven transport protocol options for ELR, vendors selected virtual private network (VPN) as the most difficult to implement (31.7%). Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) was selected as preferred ELR transport protocol (31.4%). Most of the respondents, 80% responded that they do not have any challenge with the Health Level 7 (HL7) standard implementation guide required by MU for 2014 ELR certification.Conclusion: The study found that the most difficult transport protocol to implement for ELR is VPN and if vendors have preference, they would use SFTP for ELR over KHIE choice of VPN and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). KHIE vendors do not see any variability in what is reportable by different jurisdiction and also it is not difficult for them to detect what is reportable from one jurisdiction verse the other

Published: January 2018

Objectives: The pineal gland completes cell differentiation and growth during infancy, with the secretory capacity for melatonin also determined during this time. Notably, melatonin secretion may be involved in the association between cardiovascular disease risk and birth month. Here, we investigated the association between atrial fibrillation in cardiovascular disease and birth month. This association might present valuable information on the environment during infancy that can reduce future disease risk. Methods: We retrospectively extracted birth date data from 6,016 patients with atrial fibrillation (3,876 males; 2,140 females) from our electronic medical records. The number of live births in Japan fluctuates seasonally. Therefore, we corrected the number of patients for each birth month based on a Japanese population survey report. Then a test of the significance of the association between atrial fibrillation and birth month was performed using a chi-square test. In addition, we compared the results of an analysis of patient data with that of simulated data that showed no association with birth month. Results: The deviations of birth month were not significant (overall: p = 0.631, males: p = 0.842, females: p = 0.333). The number of female patients born in the first quarter of the year was slightly higher than those born in the other quarters of the year (p = 0.030). However, by comparing the magnitudes of dispersion in the simulated data, it seems that this finding was mere coincidence. Conclusion: An association between atrial fibrillation and birth month could not be confirmed in our Japanese study. This might be due to differences in ethnicity.
Case Study: Converting Paper-based Case Report Forms to an Electronic Format (e-CRF) with ACASI Self-Report Integration
Authors: Mierzwa Stan John 
Published: January 2018

This paper will discuss the integration of electronic Case Report Forms (e-CRFs) into an already existing Android-based Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) software solution that was developed for a public health project in Kampala, Uganda, the technical outcome results, and lessons learned that may be useful to other projects requiring or considering such a technology solution. The developed product can function without a connection to the Internet and allows for synchronizing collected data once connectivity is possible. Previously, only paper-based CRFs were utilized at the Uganda project site. A subset or select group of CRFs were targeted for integration with ACASI in order to test feasibility and success. Survey volume, error rate, and acceptance of the system, as well as the operational and technical design of the solution, will be discussed.

Published: January 2018

Objectives: To measure and interactively visualize female breast cancer (FBC) incidence rates in Missouri by age, race, stage and grade, and senate district of residence at diagnosis from 2008 to 2012.Methods: An observational epidemiological study. The FBC cases in counties split by senate districts were geocoded. Population database was created. A database was created within SEER*Stat. The incidence rates and the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) were age standardized using US 2000 Standard Population. The Census Bureau’s Cartographic Boundary Files were used to create maps showing Missouri senate districts. Incidence results were loaded along with the maps into InstantAtlas™ software to produce interactive reports.Results: Cancer profiles were created for all 34 Missouri senate districts. An area profile and a double map that included interactive maps, graphs, and tables for the 34 Missouri senate districts were built.Conclusion: The results may provide an estimation of social inequality within the state and could provide clues about the impact of level of coverage and accessibility to screening and health care services on disease prevention and early diagnosis.Key Words: Female Breast Cancer, Incidence, Interactive Mapping, Missouri, Senate Districts.

Published: January 2018

Objectives: Subsequent dosing errors after implementing an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) at a pediatric hospital in Sweden led to the development, in close collaboration with the clinical profession, of a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) with Dose Range Check and Weight Based Dose Calculation integrated directly in the EMR. The aim of this study was to explore the understanding and experiences of the CDSS among Swedish pediatricians after one year of practice.Methods: Semi-structured interviews with physicians at different levels of the health care system were performed with seventeen pediatricians working at three different pediatrics wards in Stockholm County Council. The interviews were analysed with a thematic analysis without pre-determined categories.Results: Six categories and fourteen subcategories emerged from the analysis. The categories included the use, the benefit, the confidence, the situations of disregards, the misgivings/risks and finally the development potential of the implemented CDSS with Weight Based Dose Calculation and Dose Range Check. Conclusions: A need for CDSS in the prescribing for children is evident but also the need for further development based on the practical knowledge of the clinical profession.
Test of Einstein's Mass-Energy Relation
Authors: Gu Ying-Qiu 
Published: January 2018

The Einstein's mass-energy relation E = mc^2 is one of the most fundamental formulae in physics, but it has not been seriously tested by an elaborated experiment, and only some indirect evidences in nuclear reaction suggested that it holds to high precision. Manifestly, for a particle, different self potential leads to different energy-speed relation, which can be used as the fingerprints of them. In this letter, we propose an experiment to test this relation. The experiment only involves low energy of particles and measurement of speed, which can be easily realized. The experiment may shed lights on a number of fundamental puzzles in physics.

Published: January 2018

M. agalactiae (Mycoplasma agalactiae) is the main agent of CA (contagious agalactia) that is primarily disease of dairy sheep and goats. In Iran, a three-valent Agalactia inactivated vaccine were prepared based on three M. agalactiae isolated from milk secretion of sheep and goat of Taleghan, Shiraz and Lorestan and preventive policies against CA disease founded in Razi Institute since 1966. The P30 is a specific and stable lipoprotein of M. agalactiae. In this study, complete coding sequence of P30 gene of three Iranian vaccine strains and ten recently field isolates were analyzed in nucleotide and protein levels by bioinformatics tools. Interestingly, results observed a novel protein pattern K106VLKTKEIRLSQERKLS122 in P30 protein of vaccine strains compared to field isolates and the other available sequences in GenBank. Our findings demonstrated different B and T cell epitope patterns in Iranian vaccine strains. We suggested that the major change in P30 protein pattern may be occurred due to mutation during adaptation process in PPLO (Pleuropneumonia-Like Organisms) broth media.

Authors: Yildirim Tuba Talo , Acun Kaya Filiz , Kaya Can Ayhan 
Published: January 2018

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dental students’ hepatitis B vaccination and serological status according demographic data.
Methodology: A questionnaire prepared related to hepatitis B virus infection and demographic data of 290 students, educating at University of Fırat and Dicle, Faculty of Dentistry in 2016-2017 academic year was distributed. Chi-square test analysis was used for statistical analysis. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: In the study, it was determined that 17.9% of the students had hepatitis B in the family and 17.9% of them had seen themselves at risk. Of the 290 students who participated in this study, 42% were HBV vaccinated, 21.6% completed the vaccination scheme, 35% of the students had HBV carriers and 20.7% were controlling HBV serology. The higher class of students, the rate of development of vaccination, control of HBV serology, HBV carrier, and protective response increased significantly (p<0.01). Gender, parental level of education did not have a statistically significant effect on the answers given to the questions.
Conclusions: The level of awareness of HBV in dental school students is not at the desired level. We believe that the students who start the first semester of the dental school will be educated by the infection control committees collectively and vaccination will solve this problem.

Endodontic Irrigation Solutions: A Review
Authors: Topbas Celalettin , Adiguzel Ozkan 
Published: January 2018

The goal of endodontic treatment is to remove all the vital and necrotic tissues, microorganisms and microbial byproducts from root canal system. This goal can be achieved through chemical and mechanical debridement of root canals. This article narrates the specifics and requirements of the irrigation solutions. Sodium hypochlorite is proposed as the primary irrigant by virtue of its organic tissue dissolution capacity and broad antimicrobial properties. On the other hand, chelation solutions are recommended as auxiliary solutions to remove the smear layer or to hinder its formation on dentin surface. Thus, it's hoped that sealers and root canal fillers can penetrate to dentin tubules and obturate the canals hermetically. There are new studies on traditional irrigants especially on some irrigants that can replace sodium hypoclorite. This article reviews the new irrigants which can be used in future endodontic practice, and their advantages and limitations. Moreover, actions and interactions of recently used irrigants are adverted.

Authors: Cangul Suzan , Adiguzel Ozkan 
Published: January 2018

Imaging methods are of great importance for diagnosis and treatment in dentistry. With technological advances, great progress has been made in these methods. Over time, 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging has replaced 2-dimensional, thereby providing examination of objects in all directions. Of these methods, which play an important role in the clinical evaluation of patients, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the newest and most advanced imaging method. This method will revolutionize dental in comparison with conventional CT, it has several advantages, including a shorter scanning time, low radiation dose, low cost and the acquisition of high-resolution images. With 3-D imaging technology, this method has introduced the possibility of applying several procedures from diagnosis in the maxillofacial region to operative and surgical procedures. Although very clear results are not obtained from the imaging of soft tissues, the most important advantage of this technology is the capability of imaging hard and soft tissues together.

Published: January 2018

Aim: This report aims to present the application of partial pulpotomy procedures in fractured maxillary central incisors with immature roots. The application of this treatment approach in fractured immature permanent teeth is advantageous but a number of challenges exist particularly when the affected teeth are severed with complicated fractures
Methodology: Two cases of complicated crown fractures are reported. A 7-year-old male patient with broken maxillary left central incisor tooth and 8-year-old female patient with fractured maxillary right and left central incisor teeth were referred to the clinic after trauma. Partial pulpotomies were performed and MTA was applied directly onto the pulps.
Results: Hard tissue barrier was observed after treatments.
Conclusions: Partial pulpotomy is a valid treatment approach in which part of an exposed vital pulp is removed while preserving the vitality and function of the remaining part.

En los últimos años, varias universidades españolas están implantando títulos en Diseño que vienen a llenar el histórico vacío de titulados en estas disciplinas. A medida que la sociedad va tomando conciencia de la importancia del diseño y de la necesidad de disponer de especialistas que lo gestionen, se va incrementando la oferta en un área tan amplia que se hace precisa la especialización: diseño de moda, de producto, de interiores o gráfico, entre otros. Paralelamente a la aparición de estas nuevas titulaciones, la necesidad del diseño se extiende y aparece en el rótulo de varias asignaturas de los planes de estudio de Comunicación: el diseño periodístico, el audiovisual y el publicitario.
Nuevos medios y medios tradicionales en la red. Espacios de opinión e interacción política en la era Trump
Authors: Rúas Araújo Xosé , Mazaira Andrés , Rodriguez Vazquez Ana Isabel 
Published: January 2018

En el contexto del enfrentamiento político y mediático de las últimas elecciones presidenciales de los Estados Unidos de América, esta investigación compara el impacto y alcance de la opinión política de los medios tradicionales de referencia (The New York Times y The Washington Post), frente a dos medios nativos digitales (The Huffington Post y Politico.com), a través del análisis de un total de 162 editoriales y artículos de opinión publicados en sus respectivos espacios digitales y en las redes sociales.
El resultado muestra que los medios nativos digitales analizados no amenazan el liderazgo de los medios tradicionales en la red, aunque el impacto y alcance de los editoriales de ambos es bajo y se observa la ausencia de una estrategia y criterio a la hora de posicionarse en la red, donde no consiguen ganar espacio, además de un escaso interés de los lectores online por la opinión política.

Published: January 2018

Las instituciones, como el resto de los agentes de la esfera pública, precisan adaptarse para mantener el contacto con sus públicos.
La webserie titulada Joobing Hood, un graduado frente a Europa, ha sido producida en 2016, dentro de un programa de la Comisión Europea en Madrid y realizada en el Laboratorio de Audiovisuales de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid.
El proyecto ha empleado fórmulas comunicativas del campo del entretenimiento audiovisual al marketing institucional, con el objetivo de dar voz a la comisión europea en su comunicación con los jóvenes. La webserie ha construido una narrativa en torno al imaginario del personaje Robin Hood, origen de innumerables películas, novelas, y todo tipo de causas sociales, que son ampliamente reconocibles. Se utiliza esta universalidad del personaje para trasladar sus rasgos y construir un protagonista carismático para una serie dirigida a los jóvenes españoles en busca de empleo. Se describen las características del problema comunicacional, los rasgos del público objetivo y se caracteriza a la webserie como el formato que permite un contexto comunicativo de branded content para la comunicación institucional de la Comisión Europea con los jóvenes.
