Abstract
Non-pharmacological treatment including diet, body weight reduction, smoking cessation and physical activity, is very important part of hypertension treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the adherence to healthy lifestyle behavior in the representative sample of the older hypertensive patients, and to investigate factors associated with adherence in the studied older population. The study was conducted on random sample of 362 long term hypertensive (> five years) patients older than 65 years of age, at Health Care Center of Kragujevac. Adherence was assessed using the structured questionnaire for the analysis of the implementation of both hypertension and diabetes guidelines in the primary care. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. Nearly 35% of examined patients were highly adherent; they exercised regularly, avoided smoking for at least five years and consumed special healthy diet prescribed for hypertension. Another 35.6% of the cases reported exercising regularly, 39.5% followed the recommended diet for the hypertension, while 23.4% of the patients have still consumed cigarettes. Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that received counseling on healthy lifestyle behaviors by physicians and lack of education predicted high adherence to healthy lifestyle behavior. In order to improve adherence of elderly hypertensive patients to healthy lifestyle, strengthening patient-physician relationships through efforts to enhance communication may be a promising strategy to enhance patients’ engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviors for hypertension. Such an improvement could be achieved through the education of both the physicians and patients.
A New Genus of Tetragnathid Spiders from Papua New Guinea (Aranei, Tetragnathidae)
Authors: Marusik Y. M. , Omelko M. M. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Nediphya gen. n. and four new species, N. lehtineni sp. n. (type species), N. hippai sp. n., N. lyleae sp. n. and N. padillai sp. n. are described from Papua New Guinea. Some somatic characters of Nediphya gen. n. such as modified eyes and a prolateral row of stiff setae on legs I and II resemble those of Diphya Nicolet, 1849, but the morphology of its copulatory organs indicates it belongs to Nanometinae, a subfamily known only from Australasia. Th e status and composition of Nanometinae are briefly discussed. Nanometa gentilis Simon 1908 (the type species of Nanometa Simon, 1908), thought to be known only from the female, was actually described from both sexes.
Metabolism of Benzoic Acids and Phenols in Cell Suspension Cultures of Soybean and Mung Bean
Authors: Barz Wolfgang , Schlepphorst Rita , Wilhelm Peter , Kratzl Karl , Tengler Erich 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Uptake of benzoic and salicylic acid by soybean cell suspension cultures is diffusion-mediated and exclusively leads to glucose-esters. - Veratric acid is para-demethylated to vanillic acid which is conjugated to a monoglucoside. - Nitrobenzoic acids are scarcely taken up by cell cultures with glucose-esters as sole products. - Ring-labelled derivatives of vanillylalcohol and creosol are mainly polymerized to insoluble structures, ring cleavage reactions could not be observed.
Investigations on a Galvanic Cell Driven by Photosynthetic Electron Transport
Authors: Haehnel Wolfgang , Heupel Adelheid , Hengstermann Dorothea 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
A light-driven galvanic cell was constructed making use of the photosynthetic activity of isolated chloroplasts. Artificial mediators managed the transfer of electrons from the endogenous electron carriers to the platinum electrodes in each of the joined half-cells. In one the mediators were reduced by electrons originating from water. In the other the mediators were oxidized by photosystem I in the presence of an autoxidizable electron acceptor. The redox potential in the single half-cells has been studied as a function of the lipophilicity of the mediators and their concentration. Further­ more different autoxidizable acceptors and different treatments of the chloroplasts were investigated. The combined half-cells were separated by an ultrafiltration membrane. Upon illumination the system gave rise to an open circuit potential of up to 220 mV. This battery was charged with rates as high as photosynthetic electron transport rates. The results are discussed with respect to the arrangement of the cell and the properties of the components for high effectiveness and maximal potential differences.

A biocultural and intercultural response to firewood scarcity in rural communities inhabiting arid environments in Patagonia (Argentina)
Authors: Morales Daniela , Molares Soledad , Ladio Ana H. 
Published: August 2017

From an ecological perspective, the use of firewood species implies constant disturbance of the vegetation, but from a biocultural point of view the implications are more systemic and complex. The objective of this work was to make a comprehensive analysis of the biocultural characteristics of firewood plants used by two rural communities in arid Patagonia, with special emphasis on their tolerance of continuous extraction, recovery of the environment and cultural value. The study was carried out with 33 participants, and ethnobotanical information was collected on the use, preferences and attributes of species used, together with botanical-ecological information obtained from a bibliographical review. Of the 28 firewood species registered, 12 stood out as being preferred for firewood use. Native plants (66.6%) were generally preferred to exotic species (33.3%). Several ecological features of the preferred plants were noted, such as vegetative regeneration (42.9%), high levels of plasticity in relation to varying edaphic conditions (35.7%) and nitrogen fixation (14.3%). Most of these species also present a high level of utilitarian versatility, and are therefore multipurpose resources. These characteristics, of ecological and cultural importance, should be key criteria for the selection of species for forestry programmes related to the development of firewood plantations.

The aim of this paper was to examine the effect of chitosan coating with the addition of caraway essential oil and beeswax on lipid oxidation protection, as well as aroma and water content preservation of traditional dry fermented Petrovská klobása sausage.
During the entire storage period, TBARS index value in coated sausage was lower compared to the control (P<0.05). After two months of storage, TBARS index value in control and coated sausages were 0.94±0.04 mg kg–1 and 0.66±0.03 mg kg–1, while after seven months of storage, these values were 0.82±0.05 mg kg–1 and 0.67±0.02 mg kg–1, respectively. While content of saturated aliphatic aldehydes increased in control sausage (P<0.05), it remained unchanged in coated sausage during 7 months of storage. Lipid oxidation protective effect could be correlated to higher marks for aroma of coated sausage during the entire storage period (P<0.05). Coating slowed moisture loss of coated sausage compared to the control (P<0.05).

Using double-sampling techniques to reduce the number of measurement trees during forest inventories
Authors: VanderSchaaf Curtis L. , Holley Gordon , Adams Joshua 
Published: August 2017

Variable-radius sampling techniques are commonly used during forest inventories. For each sample tree at a particular sampling point, diameter and height(s) are measured and then weight is estimated using established equations.Â Heights can require a fair amount of time to measure in the field.Â Separating the weight per acre estimate into two components; average basal area per acre and WBAR (individual tree weight-basal area ratio) across all points, can often lead to more efficient sampling schemes. Variable-radius sampling allows for a quick estimate of basal area per acre at a point since no individual tree measurements are needed.Â If there is a strong relationship between weight and basal area, then by knowing basal area you essentially know weight.Â Separation into two components is advantageous because in most cases there is more variability among basal area estimates per point then there is in WBAR. Hence, you can spend more resources establishing many points that only estimate basal area â€“ often called â€œCountâ€ points. â€œFullâ€ points are those where individual tree measurements are also conducted. There is little published information quantifying the impacts on basal area, weight, etc., estimates among different â€œFull/Countâ€ sample size ratios at the same site. Inventories were examined to determine this methodâ€™s applicability to loblolly pine plantations in southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana. Results show there is more variability among basal area estimates than WBAR and that the amount of trees being â€œintensivelyâ€ measured is excessive.Â Based on these four plantations, a â€œFullâ€ point could be installed ranging from every other point to every fifth point depending on site conditions and the desired variable.

Published: August 2017

OBJECTIVE
Rigorous evidence is lacking whether online games can improve patients’ longer-term health outcomes. We investigated whether an online team-based game delivering diabetes self-management education (DSME) to patients via e-mail or mobile application (app) can generate longer-term improvements in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Patients (n = 456) on oral diabetes medications with HbA1c ≥58 mmol/mol were randomly assigned between a DSME game (with a civics booklet) and a civics game (with a DSME booklet). The 6-month games sent two questions twice weekly via e-mail or mobile app. Participants accrued points based on performance, with scores posted on leaderboards. Winning teams and individuals received modest financial rewards. Our primary outcome measure was HbA1c change over 12 months.

RESULTS
DSME game patients had significantly greater HbA1c reductions over 12 months than civics game patients (−8 mmol/mol [95% CI −10 to −7] and −5 mmol/mol [95% CI −7 to −3], respectively; P = 0.048). HbA1c reductions were greater among patients with baseline HbA1c &gt;75 mmol/mol: −16 mmol/mol [95% CI −21 to −12] and −9 mmol/mol [95% CI −14 to −5] for DSME and civics game patients, respectively; P = 0.031.

CONCLUSIONS
Patients with diabetes who were randomized to an online game delivering DSME demonstrated sustained and meaningful HbA1c improvements. Among patients with poorly controlled diabetes, the DSME game reduced HbA1c by a magnitude comparable to starting a new diabetes medication. Online games may be a scalable approach to improve outcomes among geographically dispersed patients with diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Sociedad, participación política y Estado en China e India: la relevancia del capital social
Authors: Haro Navejas Francisco Javier , Tapia Muro Cristina 
Published: August 2017

En China e India, los factores contextuales e individuales influyen en la probabilidad de participar en política de diferentes formas. Este ensayo centra la atención en el papel que desempeñan los diversos tipos de capital social. Con ese objetivo se estudian datos provenientes de la Encuesta Mundial de Valores (World Values Survey) sobre estos países. Para identificar los factores alentadores de la participación política, algunas investigaciones se han enfocado en el capital social; no obstante, son relativamente pocos los trabajos que abordan el tema incluyendo una diferenciación de ambos conceptos. Tradicionalmente, los especialistas han observado la participación política solamente a partir del voto, mientras que el capital social lo analizan sin atender al tipo del cual se trate.

Authors: Santosa Wayan 
Published: August 2017

Pemalsuan adalah suatu kejahatan yang sering terjadi di masyarakat. Pemalsuan surat, dilakukan untuk kepentingan pelaku. Akselerasi teknologi informasi yang didukung dengan kemampuan intelektual pelaku menyebabkan tindak pidana ini semakin mudah dilakukan. Pasal 263 KUHP mengamanatkan bahwa salah satu unsur dari tindak pidana ini adalah “dapat menimbulkan kerugian.” Perdebatan mengenai definisi kerugian masih sering terjadi, mayoritas penegak hukum masih memandang bahwa kerugian hanya menyangkut masalah material saja. Dalam penelitian ini akan dianalisis dua isu yakni kebijakan kriminal tindak pidana pemalsuan dalam hukum positif dan pembuktian kerugian dalam tindak pidana pemalsuan. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian yuridis normatif. Bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder dikumpulkan melalui studi kepustakaan. Bahan hukum dianalisis dengan menggunakan teknik deskripsi, teknik interpretasi dan teknik argumentasi. Kebijakan kriminal tindak pidana pemalsuan dalam hukum positif diatur dalam Buku II KUHP yakni Pasal 263 KUHP. Kebijakan kriminal dari pemalsuan surat meliputi tahap yudisial dan tahap aplikatif (penegak hukum). Pembuktian pemalsuan dilakukan untuk menegakkan kebenaran dan melindungi kepentingan korban. “Kerugian” meliputi kerugian materiil dan kerugian immaterial (kerugian di lapangan masyarakat, kesusilaan, kehormatan, dan sebagainya).

Published: August 2017

Cellulose is the main biopolymer on earth and internationally plays an important role in global economic arena. Along with the current and the future advancement of science and technology, cellulose particularly pure cellulose, has an ample of opportunity to be used as raw materials in modern food, health industry and many other industrial sectors including for the production of advance materials. Currently, the main source of cellulose is that of plant origin which naturally interconnected with lignin to forms materials called lignocellulose. Separation of cellulose from lignocellulose is a complicated process. Meanwhile, cellulose which is synthesized by diverse microbial species, especially bacteria, has many advantages. The purity of bacterial cellulose is very high, better crystalline property, high water absorbency, simple polymerization, stronger, and high bio-compatibility. In this review, recent application of bacterial cellulose in the development of food, health industries as well as advance materials will be discussed.Keywords: bacterial cellulose, nano-crystal, medical device, nanocomposite, biocompatible ABSTRAKSelulosa adalah polimer utama di permukaan bumi dan secara internasional menempati kedudukan penting dalam perkembangan ekonomi dunia. Seiring dengan kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan saat ini dan di masa yang akan datang, selulosa, khususnya selulosa murni, memiliki peluang yang sangat luar biasa sebagai bahan baku pada industri makanan modern, industri kesehatan, dan sektor industri lainnya termasuk industri material maju. Saat ini, sumber selulosa utama adalah tanaman. Selulosa yang berasal dari tanaman selalu berikatan dengan lignin dalam bentuk ligonoselulosa yang memiliki kerumitan untuk memisahkannya. Sementara itu, selulosa yang disintesis oleh berbagai jenis mikroba, khususnya bakteri, memiliki keuntungan yang besar karena tingkat kemurniannya yang tinggi, sifat kristal yang lebih baik, mampu menyerap air, polimerisasi yang sederhana, lebih kuat, dan memiliki daya adaptasi biologis yang tinggi. Dalam tinjauan ini, perkembangan terkini dalam proses pengolahan selulosa yang berasal dari bakteri untuk kepentingan pengembangan industri makanan, kesehatan, dan material maju akan didiskusikan.Kata kunci: bakteri,selulosa, kristal-nano, alat kesehatan,komposit-nano, bio-kompatibel
Time Well Spent in a Kindergarten Class:A Teacher’s Reflection on Using Talk to Learn
Authors: Hope-Southcott Laura 
Published: August 2017

Recent changes in the Ontario curricular expectations for teaching and learning have led the author to re-examine some of her teaching practices, particularly in oral language learning. In this article, the author explores what learning through talk looks like, sounds like and feels like from the kindergarten teacher’s perspective. By inquiring into her own practice, drawing from the literature on classroom talk in the early years, and critically reflecting on vignettes of classroom talk as well as a teaching journal, the author as kindergarten teacher challenges her own assumptions about talk to gain a deeper understanding of its role in a kindergarten classroom. The vignettes, reflective writing and teaching journal act as signposts that map a growing understanding of talk as a tool for learning. These stories help to ground the discussion about talk in practice as well as theory, and provide insights into the challenges and opportunities of using talk for learning in kindergarten.
