Prevalence of resting bradycardia, resting hypotension and orthostatic hypotension in chronic spinal cord injury patients
Authors: Ashta Kuldeep Kumar , Kumar Ravi 
Published: September 2017

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating event which usually leads to the impairment of autonomic nervous system and also causes many acute and chronic complications. There are very few clinical tests to assess the proper functioning of the autonomic nervous system. So, it is hypothesized to access the presence of resting bradycardia, resting hypotension and orthostatic hypotension and to use them as indirect indicators for the autonomic dysfunction in chronic spine cord injury (SCI) patients.Methods: The study was an analytic cross-sectional study, to assess the prevalence of resting bradycardia, resting hypotension and orthostatic hypotension in the spinal cord injury patients.Results: This study was conducted on 87 SCI patients, out of which 58 were paraplegics (21 having complete spinal cord injury, 37 with incomplete spinal cord injury) and 29 tetraplegics (13 with complete spinal cord injury, 16 with incomplete spinal cord injury). Orthostatic hypotension (67% vs 48.65%), resting hypotension (38.09% versus 29.7%) and resting bradycardia (33.33% versus 27.03%) were more amongst paraplegics patients with complete spinal cord injury as compared to paraplegics with incomplete spinal cord injury patients. All tetraplegic patients with complete spinal cord injury had resting bradycardia. Orthostatic hypotension, resting hypotension was found to be greater in tetraplegic patients with complete spinal cord injury.Conclusions: Complications due to autonomic impairment pose day to day difficulties in life of chronic SCI patients hampering their quality of life. So, the assessment of autonomic functions must be a part of clinical evaluation of individuals with SCI and efforts must be made to tackle these complications in the best possible way.
Obligaciones a cargo del locatario en el contrato de leasing habitacional con destino a la vivienda familiar, que no guardan relacion con su calidad de tenedor
Authors: Arrieta Blanquicett Maria Cristina 
Published: September 2017

El contrato de leasing habitacional con destino a la vivienda familiar, se implementó en Colombia desde hace más de una década, siendo de mucha utilidad para el desarrollo de la economía del País, en especial para la adquisición de vivienda.A pesar de su gran utilidad con la ejecución del mismo, han surgido múltiples conflictos, razones por las que es imperioso construir una regulación legal armonizada con su filosofía, como lo es “Crear nuevos mecanismos de financiación de vivienda a largo y mediano plazo en Colombia”. Todo lo anterior, para poderle dar un amplio desarrollo al postulado establecido en el artículo 51 de la Constitución Política de 1991, en el que se garantiza el derecho a acceder a una vivienda digna.Comoquiera que la regulación jurídica del leasing habitacional con destino a la vivienda familiar ha sido bastante escasa y teniendo en cuenta su naturaleza atípica, se requiere identificar cuáles son las obligaciones que surgen para los contratantes, especialmente para el locatario; teniendo en cuenta que entre este y el bien dado en leasing existe una relación tenencial.El leasing habitacional con destino a la vivienda familiar además de ser un contrato atípico, también es un contrato de carácter financiero, razones por las que las entidades autorizadas para celebrar este tipo de operaciones imponen al locatario diversas cláusulas que pueden ser ajenas a la calidad de tenedor que tiene el locatario; y por ende, podrían resultar abusivas a la luz de la Constitución Política, la ley y la doctrina referente a la protección al consumidor.Conforme a la anterior realidad, tanto el legislador como la Corte Constitucional han establecido directrices para la implementación de mecanismos que propendan por la protección del locatario, teniendo en cuenta que el objeto del contrato de leasing habitacional con destino a la vivienda familiar, recae sobre un derecho humano. Así las cosas, resulta útil identificar cuáles son las obligaciones a cargo del locatario que no guardan relación con su calidad de tenedor; para poder valorarlas y concluir que estas, riñen con las políticas de protección establecidas para el locatario.

Authors: Ferreira Jerusa Pires 
Published: September 2017

O artigo refere vários sentidos de memória, segundo diferentes pontos de vista e observa que memória nunca é recuperação objetiva e completa do que já passou. Memória é base não só para fenomenos biológicos,m mas também para a identidade cultural e para a tradição; sua seletividade é tanto uma proteção para os individuos e sociedade, como é caminho para cultura. Entre outros títulos, refere-se com mais ênfase ao livro de Mônica R.F. Nunes, A Memória na Mídia, do qual apresenta um brevíssimo resumo, como sendo indispensável aos estudos sobre Memória. Faz o mesmo em relação ao livro de F. Colombo, publicação antiga e já bastante conhecida, Os Arquivos Imperfeitos.

Using Natural Frequency Response Monitoring NFRM to Reduce Inspection Costs for Ageing North Sea Platforms
Authors: Whiteley E. , Ward P. , Taylor B. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The offshore industry is faced with a tough financial market, requiring innovative solutions in order to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency. This includes solutions to ensure that maintaining the structural integrity of North Sea platforms is achieved as cost-effectively as possible without increasing risk or compromising safety.
Regular general visual inspection of fixed platforms for structural damage, by ROV fly-by, is a commonly used technique. There are two main concerns with this technique. Firstly, these inspections are costly to perform and secondly, damage may occur shortly after a scheduled inspection and go undetected until the next inspection. Both of these concerns are addressed through real-time structural monitoring. This uses automation of frequency detection and signal processing in order to avoid equipment and personnel mobilisations and provide immediate notification of potential damage. Inspections can then be conducted only when required and targeted at a specific area of interest, resulting in a significant reduction in overall integrity management costs. A platform monitoring system can be used on both manned and unmanned platforms and can be installed during construction or retrofitted to an older installation.
A platform monitoring system, also known as Natural Frequency Response Monitoring (NFRM), works by measuring the natural frequency response of the platform under wave loading. The structural failure of a member will alter the natural frequency of the platform and the monitoring system will detect the change and alert the Operator. Prior to implementing this technique a screening study of the change in platform response following damage to critical members is necessary in order to ensure that incidents will be reliably detected.
This paper presents a case study of a NFRM screening study prior to installation of the system on a North Sea platform. The structural analysis used to confirm the suitability of the NFRM system and the method for specifying the monitoring system itself are described. An indicative cost of procuring and installing the NFRM system is also presented.
Big Data Analytics Drive EOR Projects
Authors: Xiao Jie , Sun Xin 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
This paper presents the analytics of physics-driven big data in reservoir hydrodynamic simulation and parameter optimization for EOR projects in Daqing oilfield. An application model proposed in this study enables reservoir engineers to dynamically adjust parameters for numerical reservoir simulation.
Huge amount of data are collected through Internet of Things (IOT) technology by installing large amounts of small scale and cost effective sensor devices in various systems of EOR projects, including injection system, injectors, production system, down hole pumps, surface gathering system, etc. Realtime data from various sensor sources are then integrated and normalized into the big data system. The big data system integrates and establishes the relationships between difference data source components, e.g., down hole pump, choke, separator, power plant, compressor, water treatment, export infrastructure within scope of EOR projects. Then the big data application model determines dynamic parameters used for the inputs of numerical reservoir simulation.
Big data system integrates different data sources and is used to calculate production index, PVT parameters, pressure data, properties of oil and gas on a daily-sequence. Those parameters were then treated as the inputs of existing numerical reservoir simulation models. Hydrodynamics of EOR projects were predicted and the operation parameters on a field scale were adjusted based on the simulation results, such as well pattern and space, optimization of water injection parameters, choke size, chemical slug size, etc. Compared with the previous numerical reservoir simulation, the prediction error was reduced by more than 46% with the help of big data application model.
Big data application model integrates different data source into an application model. It helps predict the reservoir dynamics with much more accuracy in the aspects of numerical reservoir simulation.
THE ETHICAL AND AESTHETICAL DIMENSION OF FIGURATIVE CLASSICAL CALLIGRAPHY PAINTING
Authors: Kurniawati Dini 
Published: September 2017

The current phenomenon indicates that the use of the term of art experienced a shift in meaning, which is arbitrary. Art is only seen as an expression of free expression, without care about the meaning contained in the work of art. However, it is not evident among Moslem artists in expressing their work in figurative calligraphy painting. Although in Islam, painting especially in paint the creature living (figure) got a bad response, but the Moslem artists were able to present works that are not only beautiful but also the messages. The research questions in this thesis are first what is the ethical and aesthetical message of figurative calligraphy painting? And is there a relationship between ethical and aesthetical messages in figurative calligraphy painting? Trough an interpretative qualitative and a symbolic interaction approach. The research concluded that the ethical messages are Posts contain praying illustrated in the form of ‘abid in praying. It contains the meaning that human is weak creature and always does wrong. Therefore, humans need forgiveness from Allah. Posts of Ali Ibn Abi Thalib was illustrated in the form of lion. It describes and contains the meaning of braveness and heroism of Ali in defense of Allah religion. The aesthetical message in every figurative calligraphy painting is a manifestation of the beauty that exists in the universe. Figurative calligraphy painting is described the Majesty, Power and Oneness of Allah, the art was created is the manifestation of tawḥid
السنة النبوية والقراءة النصية عند ابن حزم الأندلسي
Authors: Arafat Ahmad Tajuddin 
Published: September 2017

The Qur'an and the Sahih Hadith interwave each other. Both correspond and there is no contradiction between the two for both are part of God's revelation toward Prophet Muhammad. Therefore, they are referred as sacred texts to seek guidance from. According to Ibn Hazm (d.456 AH), the sacred text must be understood textually. He treated the text as it is in the Qur'an and Sunna denoting the law of something. It is unacceptable for him to use majaz (metaphorical interpretation) except a famous majaz evidenced by other texts, ijma', sensory elements, or the language by which the text is derived. Because of this textual tendency, the Sunna / Hadith that has the power of hujjah (a valid argument) is only in the form of his sunnah qauliyyah (stated sunnah). Meanwhile, his sunnah fi'liyyah (performed sunnah) can not be used as hujjah unless it correlates with the command written in the Qur'an and Sunnah (qauliyah). The sunnah taqririyyah (confirmed sunnah), according to Ibn Hazm, is only addressed to mubah (lawful) category and has no binding legal provisions.
Modulation of Inflammation as a Way of Delaying Alzheimer's Disease Progression: The Diet's Role
Authors: Businaro R. , Corsi M. , Asprino R. , Di Lorenzo C. , Laskin D. , Corbo R.M. , Ricci S. , Pinto A. 
Published: September 2017

Background:
Most of the recent reports suggest that inflammatory mediators play a central
role in the etiopathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and that the conditions leading to a chronic
low-grade inflammation, such as stress, depression, obesity and metabolic syndrome, increase the odds
of developing Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and AD. Microglia cells are the main actors in the AD
process: stimuli from the microenvironment may induce microglia cells to switch to a classically activated
inflammatory phenotype M1, or, on the contrary to an alternatively activated M2 phenotype characterized
by the secretion of different types of cytokines. Many attempts are currently being made in
order to delay the progression of AD by reducing inflammatory mechanisms underlying the disease.
Several studies support a relationship among neuroinflammation and nutrients, foods or dietary patterns,
taking into account the synergistic or antagonistic biochemical interactions among nutrients as well as
the different food sources of the same nutrient. Natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds
found in plant foods, such as fruits, particularly berries (such as strawberry, blueberry, blackcurrant,
blackberry, blueberry and mulberry) have been shown to exert neuroprotective activity. It is still unclear
whether the dietary bioactive compounds enter the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) playing a direct antiinflammatory
or pro-inflammatory effect on microglia and/or other Central Nervous System (CNS)
cells. Another hypothesis is that they may trigger a peripheral reaction that induce indirectly a CNS' response.
The subsequent synthesis of cytokines may drive microglia polarization by different ways. So,
via an indirect route microglia detects and responds to immune-to-brain signaling.

Conclusion:
This review summarizes current evidence about the potential mechanisms of the interaction
among diet, neuroinflammation and AD.
Use of Speech Analyses within a Mobile Application for the Assessment of Cognitive Impairment in Elderly People
Authors: Konig Alexandra , Satt Aharon , Sorin Alex , Hoory Ran , Derreumaux Alexandre , David Renaud , Robert Phillippe H. 
Published: September 2017

Background:
Various types of dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are manifested
as irregularities in human speech and language, which have proven to be strong predictors for the
disease presence and progress ion. Therefore, automatic speech analytics provided by a mobile application
may be a useful tool in providing additional indicators for assessment and detection of early stage
dementia and MCI.

Method:
165 participants (subjects with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), MCI patients, Alzheimer's
disease (AD) and mixed dementia (MD) patients) were recorded with a mobile application
while performing several short vocal cognitive tasks during a regular consultation. These tasks included
verbal fluency, picture description, counting down and a free speech task. The voice recordings were
processed in two steps: in the first step, vocal markers were extracted using speech signal processing
techniques; in the second, the vocal markers were tested to assess their ‘power' to distinguish between
SCI, MCI, AD and MD. The second step included training automatic classifiers for detecting MCI and
AD, based on machine learning methods, and testing the detection accuracy.

Results:
The fluency and free speech tasks obtain the highest accuracy rates of classifying AD vs. MD
vs. MCI vs. SCI. Using the data, we demonstrated classification accuracy as follows: SCI vs. AD = 92%
accuracy; SCI vs. MD = 92% accuracy; SCI vs. MCI = 86% accuracy and MCI vs. AD = 86%.

Conclusions:
Our results indicate the potential value of vocal analytics and the use of a mobile application
for accurate automatic differentiation between SCI, MCI and AD. This tool can provide the clinician
with meaningful information for assessment and monitoring of people with MCI and AD based on
a non-invasive, simple and low-cost method.

Published: September 2017

Neste trabalho propomos um arcabouço teórico-conceitual como base para a análise de diferentes políticas públicas em perspectiva comparada, com vistas à sua aplicação para experiências no contexto local. A partir da identificação das características de cada uma das cinco políticas escolhidas para pesquisa – educação, saúde, assistência social, cultura e meio ambiente – e das particularidades dos efeitos provocados por cada política, caracterizamos as policy arenas específicas, dando ênfase nas estruturas de regulação (polity) e nos processos decisórios por essas condicionados (politics). Na base de oito diferentes fatores/dimensões analíticos, as particularidades materiais e processuais das diferentes políticas foram levantadas e avaliadas, a partir da literatura secundária disponível sobre cada uma das políticas. Essa análise serve como base para futuro estudo e identificação de padrões institucionais e processuais nas diferentes políticas e subpolíticas em nível municipal.
