Published: May 2017

This study examined the internal headings of theses and research articles in applied linguistics. Headings collected from 110 theses and headings selected from 500 research articles underwent quantitative and qualitative analyses. The goal was to investigate possible differences between the heading writing styles adopted by the writers of each genre in focus. Analyses revealed the higher incidence of functional headings in both genres, particularly in research articles. Virtually, all functional and conventional syntactic options used in headings testified to be significantly different. Moreover, deployment of functional headings evidenced to act as a gatekeeper alternative that might have enhanced the publication chance of research articles in prestigious ISI-indexed journals. The study provides assistance for the writers of style guide manuals and syllabus designers in paving the way for novice writers to gain recognition in academia as professionals.Â Keywords: applied linguistics, conventional heading, functional heading, research article, thesis

Examining Certified Nursing Assistants ‘Perceptions of Work-Related Identity
Authors: Gray Jennifer A. , Lukyanova Valentina 
Published: May 2017

Background The purpose of this study was to examine certified nursing assistants ‘(CNAs') perceptions of their work identity within the context of their relationships with nursing facility residents and residents ‘family members. Such information can help clarify CNAs ‘roles and respond to their job needs. Although CNAs provide valuable care for residents, they often experience low status at work; it is important that they have opportunities to find value in their work. Methods Eight focus groups were conducted with 45 CNAs from 4 nursing facilities. Thematic analysis and role theory were used to analyze the data. Results: Participants identified with the roles of connector, advocate, overloaded worker, and companion. Conclusions CNAs expressed a lack of work-related control in the advocate and overloaded worker roles, and satisfaction in the companion role. Adequate organizational resources can help CNAs gain more satisfaction and effectiveness in their work.
Fading Away in Plain Sight
Authors: Lucier Shirley A. 
Published: May 2017

The failure of health care professionals and providers to recognize and discuss end-of-life care continues to resonate across our heath care continuum. The value of the patient–clinician interaction is paramount in advocating for and establishing effective communication and care. A meaningful nurse–patient relationship is a key component to facilitate discussion of patient and family choices in how care can be managed throughout the dying process. This article describes how, using Virginia Henderson's nursing model of patient-centered care, a holistic and palliative approach to end-of-life care was successfully supported in the home.
Pathology and pathogenesis of bovine skin and meibomian gland demodicosis
Authors: Abu-Samra M. T. , Shuaib Y. A. 
Published: May 2017

A national survey on bovine demodicosis was conducted among 48,000 cattle in Sudan during vaccination campaigns (44,800), and at antemortem and postmortem examination in abattoirs (3200). Among the total surveyed, 44,908 were adult (2-8 years) of which 34.6% were infected, and 3092 were calves (< 2 years) of which 34.6% were infected. Three hundred cattle with severe skin lesions among which 218 also had meibomian gland lesions were selected. The clinical pictures of skin and meibomian gland demodicosis were described. Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Sta. epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes (group A) and Trueperella pyogenes were isolated from skin lesions, and Moraxella bovis and Sta. aureus were isolated from meibomian gland lesions. These bacteria produced deleterious toxins and enzymes aggravating the lesions caused by Demodex bovis and D. ghanensis mites in skin and meibomian glands, respectively. Neither mite was found in the internal tissues or organs, indicating that they had no endoparasitic phase. The histopathological changes observed were commensurate with cell-mediated immunity. Liberation of the contents of demodectic mange colonies in the subepidermal and dermal layers of the skin, and surrounding connective tissue of the meibomian glands evoked severe histopathological changes characterized by massive high-turnover granulomatous reactions with influx of macrophages and lymphocytes. The pathogenesis of the disease, from the stage of initial invasion of the hair follicles and collecting tubules of the meibomian glands by the mites and associated bacteria, to the stage of regression of the lesions was described. It was concluded that the nature of association between Demodex mites and bacteria in demodectic mange lesions was synergistic and of equal significance. The high-turnover granulomatous reactions which characterized the histopathological changes showed that Demodex mites and associated bacteria were persistent and immunogenic.
Principales intoxications végétales chez les ruminants en zone méditerranéenne
Authors: Mohammedi D. , Mohammedi S. , Keck G. 
Published: May 2017

Les intoxications végétales chez les ruminants sont assez fréquentes mais elles restent méconnues et d’importance difficile à quantifier du fait de la diversité des plantes toxiques qui en sont responsables. Les impacts des intoxications végétales dans le Bassin méditerranéen devraient être mieux évalués pour les distinguer de ceux causés par des infections. En effet, les vétérinaires établissent difficilement un diagnostic d’intoxication végétale et incriminent souvent les agents infectieux. Il est donc important de réunir un maximum d’informations objectives, ce qui est souvent assez délicat au regard des informations relativement approximatives dans les descriptions des cas. Certaines plantes responsables d’intoxication ont une répartition très large au sud et au nord de la Méditerranée, y compris en France. D’autres sont au contraire relativement spécifiques des milieux désertiques du Maghreb et sont retrouvées notamment en Algérie. Les animaux les plus fréquemment concernés sont les ovins (61,5 p. 100), les bovins (24,7 p. 100), les dromadaires (9 p. 100) et les caprins (4,6 p. 100). Les intoxications rencontrées chez les ruminants sont provoquées par Hyoscyamus muticus spp. falezlez (Coss.) Maire, Ferula communis L., Thapsia garganica, Hypericum crispum L., Tetraena cornuta (Coss.) Beier & Thulin, Drimia maritima (L.)

Les paramètres physico-chimiques au cours de la maturation de quatre muscles (semitendinosus [ST], rectus femoris [RF], longissimus thoracis [LT] et semimembranosus [SM]), conservés à 4 °C, ont été mesurés chez des dromadaires mâles (10 jeunes de trois à quatre ans et 10 adultes de plus de cinq ans) de race Sahraoui. Une diminution de la température post mortem a atteint une valeur minimale de 5,7 ± 0,20 °C (LT) chez les adultes, alors que la valeur minimale enregistrée chez les jeunes a été plus basse avec 3,9 ± 0,68 °C (ST). Le pH des muscles étudiés a diminué au cours de la période post mortem. Les valeurs minimales enregistrées ont varié de 5,2 ± 1,11 (RF) à 5,7 ± 0,02 (LT) chez les chamelons, et de 5,6 ± 0,05 (SM) à 6,3 ± 0,53 (ST) chez les adultes. La quantité d’eau extractible a augmenté pour les quatre muscles et pour les deux groupes d’âge. Les valeurs maximales obtenues ont été de 0,21 ± 0,040 g par gramme de muscle RF jeune et de 0,21 ± 0,009 g par gramme de muscle RF adulte. Cela signifie que la capacité de rétention d’eau des différents muscles a diminué au cours du temps post mortem. La conductivité électrique n’a pas suivi le même profil pour tous les muscles étudiés. Une légère augmentation de ce paramètre dans le temps a été perceptible pour le muscle LT (117,3 ± 0,30 µS/cm/g) chez les jeunes, et ST (158,3 ± 0,14 µS/cm/g) chez les adultes.

Les hémoparasitoses (theilériose, babésiose et anaplasmose) sont des maladies vectorielles graves dont l’impact économique et sur la santé des élevages bovins au Maroc est considérable. L’objectif de cette étude, réalisée dans quatre régions d’élevage bovin laitier, a été de déterminer la séroprévalence et les facteurs de risque de ces infections. Au total 1 040 bovins ont été examinés dans 96 exploitations. La technique competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) et la réaction d’immunofluorescence indirecte ont été utilisées pour la détermination de la séroprévalence, et le test statistique V de Cramer a permis d’analyser les facteurs de risque d’infection des bovins par les hémoparasites. Sur 1 040 sérums analysés, 689 (66,3 p. 100) ont été séropositifs ; la séroprévalence a varié selon le parasite considéré : Theileria annulata (35,4 p. 100), Anaplasma marginale (20,5 p. 100), Babesia bigemina (13,6 p. 100) et B. bovis (12,0 p. 100). Par ailleurs, 155 sérums (14,9 p. 100) ont présenté des infections mixtes (deux ou trois hémoparasites simultané- ment). L’analyse statistique a montré que l’âge (C = 0,62) et le type d’élevage (C = 0,60) ont eu une forte influence sur la séroprévalence, tandis que la race (C = 0,46) et le sexe (C = 0,29) ont eu une influence moindre. Le climat (C = 0,06) n’a pas semblé avoir d’impact. Ces résultats aideront à comprendre la situation épizootique des hémoparasitoses vectorielles chez les bovins afin d’établir une stratégie adéquate pour leur contrôle.

Um sistema de saúde eficiente requer uma reflexão sobre as medidas preventivas a aplicar.Material e Métodos: A amostra em estudo englobou 2672 indivíduos de ambos os géneros, com idade igual ou superior a 55 anos, residentes em Portugal continental, ao qual foi aplicado um questionário que incluiu as seguintes secções: Rede social; Locomoção; Autonomia física; Autonomia instrumental; Avaliação cognitiva; Atividade física.Resultados: O estudo do perfil de envelhecimento da população Portuguesa revelou que a autonomia física para tarefas relacionadas com o quotidiano, se associam a um melhor desempenho cognitivo. Verificámos uma associação estatisticamente significativa entre o desempenho na avaliação cognitiva e o género, a idade, a escolaridade, o facto de a pessoa viver sozinha, o número de horas que está sozinha, a autonomia a andar na rua, lavar-se, vestir-se, comer, preparar refeições, fazer compras, gerir dinheiro, tomar medicamentos e lavar/tratar a roupa.Discussão: A avaliação cognitiva é influenciada negativamente pelo número de horas que um individuo vive sozinho.Conclusão: As atividades da vida diária devem ser valorizadas, uma vez que requerem capacidade para planear e realizar tarefas e a sua preservação é uma componente chave num envelhecimento de sucesso.
Bilateral Deep Vein Thrombosis Associated with Inferior Vena Cava Agenesis in a Young Patient Manifesting as Low Back Pain
Authors: Langer Felipe , Dos Santos Daiane , Suertegaray Gustavo , Pereira Haygert Carlos Jesus 
Published: May 2017

Congenital absence of the inferior vena cava is a rare vascular anomaly, and most cases are asymptomatic. Nevertheless, patients with inferior vena cava malformations may have increased risk of deep venous thrombosis. Particularly, cases of bilateral deep venous thrombosis may arise owing to an insufficient collateral venous drainage from the lower limbs. We hereby describe a case of a previously healthy young male patient presenting with bilateral lower limb deep venous thrombosis as the initial clinical manifestation of congenital inferior vena cava agenesis. We conclude that in young patients presenting with deep venous thrombosis, especially when thrombosis occurs spontaneously, bilaterally, or recurrently, inferior vena cava anomalies should be thoroughly investigated and ruled out as appropriate.

Published: May 2017

Bauhinia purpurea are used as antinociceptive, antidiarrhoeal, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritis, analgesic, anticancer, antipyretic, anti-diabetics, anti-diarrheal activity etc. The flavonoids and polyphenol are present in Bauhinia purpurea and may play an important role in the treatment of inflammation and arthritis. Till date no one has documented about active constituents responsible for the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis activity. The present study was aimed to isolate fractions from Bauhinia purpurea leaves extracts, and assessed their anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis activity in rats. The hydroalcoholic and aqueous extracts of Bauhinia purpurea leaves were prepared and tested for in vitro antioxidant activity namely DPPH, total polyphenol content, total flavonol content and reducing power assay. The antioxidant activity was performed only for proper selection of extracts, to isolate the polyphenol and flavonoids fractions from extract expressing maximum antioxidant activity. The different fractions were isolated from hydroalcoholic extracts by using column chromatography. The fractions FBP5, FBP8, FBP9 and FBP10 were further investigated for phytochemical screening to determine the nature of isolated compound. The fractions FBP8, FBP9 and FBP10 were screened for anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis activity in carrageenan rat induced paw oedema, cotton pellet-induced granuloma model and adjuvant induced chronic arthritis in rats. The findings of in vitro antioxidant activity demonstrated that hydroalcoholic extracts expressed higher antioxidant activity compared to aqueous extract, and hence hydroalcoholic extracts was further selected for the isolation of various fractions. The results of phytochemical study imply that FBP8, FBP9 and FBP10 revealed the presence of polyphenol and flavonoids. The fraction FBP8, FBP9 and FBP10 (25 mg/kg) exhibits significant anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis activity. The FBP9 produces maximum anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis activity compared to other fractions. These findings suggest that the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis activity of isolated fraction was due to presence of flavonoids and polyphenols.

La calidad de vida es la habilidad para participar plenamente en funciones y actividades relacionadas con aspectos físicos, sociales y psicosociales apropiadas para cada edad. Ante la ausencia de instrumentos para evaluar la calidad de vida en los adolescentes en la población peruana, este estudio examina algunas propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario Kidscreen - 52, el cual fue aplicado a una muestra de 300 adolescentes de Lima y Callao. Se realizó un análisis de la confiabilidad por Alfa de Cronbach (α = 0.92) y Spearman Brown (α = 0.80). Se evaluó la capacidad discriminativa de los ítems observándose que cuatro reactivos no contribuyen a sus respectivos subtest. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio obteniendo siete dimensiones las cuales no concuerdan con el modelo teórico propuesto. Finalmente, para realizar la validez de criterio se correlacionó el Kidscreen con el Cuestionario de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff, obteniéndose una correlación de Pearson de 0.539 (p<.01). Se concluye que el instrumento en base a los resultados es confiable para la mayoría de las dimensiones y valido para la población adolescente de la Región Callao y del distrito de Lima.Palabras claves: calidad de vida, adolescencia, confiabilidad y validez.

Published: May 2017

La investigación tiene como objetivo modelar y simular la dispersión de los contaminantes gaseosos de la tropósfera mediante el mecanismo de advección producido en un volumen de control. Este modelo de dispersión considera como flujo de entrada al volumen del aire que contiene ciertos contaminantes primarios como óxido de nitrógeno, hidrocarburos, dióxido de carbono, monóxido de carbono, entre otros. En este volumen de control, ocurren diversas reacciones químicas y fotoquímicas, cuyos complejos mecanismos han tomado aproximadamente 80 años de estudio. Parte de los contaminantes primarios se convierten en secundarios, los cuales son nocivos, por ejemplo: el ozono, aldehídos, radicales libres, etc. El método se sustenta en los mecanismos de reacción y las constantes cinéticas obtenidas por Fallen, Seinfeld y trabajos realizados de Crutzen, Rowland y Molina. La mezcla de aire (compuesta por contaminantes primarios y secundarios) sale del volumen de control y se dispersa, fenómeno que se repite todos los días del año. En base a ello se realiza el modelamiento, obteniéndose un sistema de ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias no lineales, las cuales se resuelven con el software Polymath. Los resultados dependen de factores como la tasa de emisión de contaminantes primarios, flujo de aire, temperatura y volumen de la celda considerada (que incidirá en el tiempo de residencia del contaminante), concentraciones iniciales de los contaminantes primarios, entre otros. Las curvas de concentración vs tiempo nos mostraron cómo evolucionan los contaminantes a una hora del día. Ello nos permite conocer y tomar las previsiones del caso, si alguno de ellos estuviera por encima de los límites máximos permisibles.Palabras clave: contaminantes troposféricos, simulación, predicción
