Authors: K. Devi Meenakshi , R. Narayana Babu , Padmanaban Srinivasan 
Published: April 2017

Background: Infants born to mothers with gestational diabetes are at increased risk of neonatal morbidities like birth trauma, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia, birth asphyxia etc., Maternal glycemic control has been one of the parameters that determines the occurrence of these problems.Methods: A retrospective study done by analysing the case records of babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes and admitted to the NICU of Govt Kilpauk Medical college from January 2015 to December 2015. The morbidity profile of infants born to mothers with gestational diabetes was analysed and comparison was made between the two groups namely mothers who were managed by meal plan and those who were managed by insulin.Results: About 198 babies were analysed majority were delivered by caesarean section (83%). Only 2 babies (1%) weighed more than 4000gms. The commonest morbidity observed was hyperbilirubinemia (24.2%) which was 27.7% in the insulin group as against 19% in the group on meal plan. The next common morbidity was sepsis (15.2%). This was also common in insulin group 18.5% as against 10.1% in the meal group. Others were hypoglycemia (4%), congenital heart disease (2.5 %) and respiratory distress syndrome (1.5 %).Conclusions: Babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes were found to have morbidities like hyperbilirubinemia and sepsis. Less commonly found morbidities were hypoglycemia, birth asphyxia, respiratory distress syndrome etc., Though the morbidities were more common among insulin group as compared to the group on meal plan this difference was not statistically significant.

Authors: Jain Rupali , Arora Vivek , Gediya Sandip 
Published: April 2017

Background: To assess the complimentary feeding practice in Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) children aged between 6months to 5years.Methods: 110 SAM children admitted in Malnutrition Treatment Centre (MTC) of MBGH Hospital, Udaipur over a period of 3 months were taken in the study. Structured questionnaire including child’s personal data, socioeconomic status of the family, breast feeding and complementary feeding status were used. Clinical and anthropometric assessment of children was done.Results: Out of the 110 children included in the study, 58 (52.7%) were males and 52 (47.2%) were females. Mean age of children included was 16.8 ± 10.73 months. Maximum children were in the age group of 6-12months 60 (54.5%), followed by 13-24 months of age 38 (34.5%), followed by >2-5years of age 12 (10.9%). Thirty-four (30.9%) children were on exclusive breast feeding, with 30 (27.3%) in age group of 6-12 months and 4 (3.6%) in 12- 24 months. Breast feeding with complimentary feeding was practiced in 30 (27.3%) children of 6-12 months of age and 22 (20%) children of 13-24 months. Out of the 76 children on additional feed with or without breast feeds, 70 (92.1%) consumed milk- either goat milk, cow milk or buffalo milk.Conclusions: Anthropometric assessment revealed that maximum number of SAM children also had chronic malnutrition. Diet of SAM children mainly included milk and cereals. They did not obtain a balanced diet to meet their nutritional requirement.

Published: April 2017

Background: Children mostly acquire HIV (Human immunodeficiency syndrome) infection from their parents. There is need to know the HIV status of their parents, associated risk factors and predictors so as to make effective strategies to prevent this disease and save the coming/future generation from this deadly disease. The objective of the study was to know incidence of HIV, its predictors and risk factors in children. Study Setting: This is a Hospital based observation study conducted in Department of Pediatrics, Govt. Medical College, Amritsar.Methods: In this study, all patients admitted to Pediatrics department, irrespective of presenting complaints were evaluated for presence of any of risk factors/predictors as mentioned in Proforma and those children having any of risk factors/predictors were selected, consent was taken and undergone detailed clinical evaluation and investigations for HIV.Results: Incidence of HIV in all patients admitted to children ward was 1.21% (27/2227) and children who had one or more risk factor or predictor was 6.58% (27/410). Weight loss, Failure to thrive (44.44%), Diarrhoea (37.03%), Fever (70.37%), Oral Candidiasis (22.2%), Pulmonary Tuberculosis (11.11%) and Generalized Lymphadenopathy (18.51%) were significant predictors in present study. High risk behaviour of parents (37.30%) and mother's HIV positivity (62.92%) were significant high risk factors, however needle prick (18.5%) was also equally significant in present study.Conclusions: Children brought with various signs and symptoms of HIV or born to high risk behaviour practicing parents and/or HIV positive mother, physician must get their patients tested for HIV (as per NACO Guidelines) so that infected children diagnosed early and referred to a specialized centre for treatment and follow up.

Authors: Varma Rohit , Rai S. K. , Wani S. S. , Chaudhary Amit 
Published: April 2017

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Trimalleolar ankle fractures are relatively rare and complex ankle injuries, the prognosis of which is worse than bimalleolar fracture. The three malleoli are bony restraints of the ankle and all three are fractured in trimalleolar fractures. Hence, there is disruption of the weight bearing portion of the tibial plafond along with talus dislocation/subluxation. Management of such fractures is challenging and confounded by the dilemma of posterior malleolus fixation. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the radiological and clinical outcome of fixation of large (&gt;25%) posterior malleolus fragment in trimalleolar fractures.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 25 patients underwent fixation of the three malleoli and evaluated prospectively. Different methods for fixation from plating to lag screws were used for posterior malleolus.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> 92% of patients in our series had excellent to good clinical outcome. Radiologically, there was anatomical reduction of the ankle joint and none of the patient had postoperative talus subluxation or arthrosis.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Our study shows that there is consistent and reproducible clinical advantage of fixing the posterior malleolus in trimalleolar ankle fractures. </p>

Perpustakaan Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana(UKDW) memiliki koleksi buku yang cukup banyak dan beragam. Buku-buku tersebut sudah disusun rapi pada rak-rak buku yang ada dan diberi label. Akan tetapi masih banyak peminjam yang meletakkan buku pada rak yang salah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat aplikasi yang dapat mengetahui apakah sebuah buku salah letak atau tidak dengan menggunakan metode Moment Invariant dan K-Nearest Neighbor. Moment invariant merupakan sebuah metode ekstraksi fitur yang menghasilkan 7 fitur yang digunakan untuk mengenali sebuah obyek. Sedangkan K-Nearest Neighbor merupakan metode klasifikasi yang digunakan untuk mengklasifikasikan obyek berdasarkan data latih yang ada. Citra input berupa citra yang berisi deret buku. Citra ini akan melalui beberapa proses yaitu proses Region of Interest untuk mendapatkan label buku, proses segmentasi Histogram Approach untuk mendapatkan citra karakter tiap labelnya, proses thinning yang digunakan untuk mendapatkan kerangka tiap karakter, kemudian proses ekstraksi fitur Moment Invariant yang akan menghasilkan fitur dari citra karakter dan fitur-fitur tersebut akan diklasifikasikan menggunakan K-Nearest Neighbor sesuai dengan template yang ada seghingga citra karakter dapat dikenali. Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa sistem berhasil mengimplementasikan metode Moment Invariant dan K-Nearest Neighbor sehingga berhasil dalam mengenali karakakter pada label buku perpustakaan UKDW dengan menggunakan K=1 dan ukuran citra karakter sebesar 100x100. Terdapat 2 hasil persentase keakuratan yaitu sebesar 85.39% dengan menggunakan 30 citra uji yang didalamnya terdapat beberapa citra karakter yang digunakan sebagai template dan sebesar 81.54% dengan menggunakan 20 citra uji di mana tidak ada template yang berasal dari citra uji.

Authors: Wahyuni Sri , Susanti R. , Iswari Retno Sri 
Published: April 2017

This research aims to isolate and characterize the fcin enzyme from Ficus septica stem latex. Ficin from Ficus septica stem latex was isolated using column chromatography. Then enzyme activity was tested at different temperature (40oC, 50oC, 60oC, 70oC) and pH (6.0, 7.0, 8.0) levels. Ficin enzyme activity of joint treatment with variations in temperature and pH was analyzed using two-way ANOVA with a factorial pattern followed by Least Signifcant Difference (LSD) test. The results showed that temperature treatment signifcantly affects enzyme activity. However, the treatment of pH and the interaction between temperature and pH did not signifcantly affect the fcin enzyme activity. There was no signifcant difference in fcin activity at the incubation temperatures of 40oC and 50oC, as well as 60oC and 70oC. However, comparing the incubation temperatures of 40oC and 50oC with treatment 60°C and 70°C showed a signifcant difference in fcin enzyme activity. In the treatment of incubation at pH 6, 7 and 8 for fcin enzyme activity showed no signifcant difference. We concluded that the Ficus septica plant latex contained fcin enzyme with an optimum temperature of 60°C and optimum pH of 6, 7, and 8.
A Narrativa Autobiográfica nos Processos de Avaliação e Certificação de Competências Escolares
Authors: Calha António 
Published: April 2017

Em Portugal os processos de reconhecimento, validação e certificação de competências (RVCC) adotaram o Portfólio Reflexivo de Aprendizagem (PRA) como instrumento de identificação de competências adquiridas nos diferentes contextos de vida. É através da construção do PRA que cada adulto evidencia as aprendizagens que realizou ao longo da vida e as competências que delas decorreram. Dada a natureza dos processos RVCC a construção do PRA assenta em metodologias de balanço de competências e na abordagem autobiográfica. É através dos materiais que o adulto produz e que colige, de forma contextualizada e crítica, que se validam e certificam as competências. Propomos neste artigo analisar as especificidades inerentes à produção da narrativa autobiográfica nos processos RVCC. Importa-nos, sobretudo, perceber a forma como a narrativa autobiográfica contida nos Portefólios é determinada pela subjetividade do narrador e pelo trabalho desenvolvido com os técnicos que acompanham os candidatos à certificação escolar. Para fazer face a estes objetivos serão apresentados os resultados da análise de quatro entrevistas (semi-estruradas na sua preparação e semi-diretivas na sua aplicação) realizadas a Profissionais de Reconhecimento Validação e Certificação de Competências bem como de um corpus analítico constituído por cem autobiografias realizadas no âmbito do processo RVCC.
Democracy, parity and change. An institutional space for gender relations
Authors: Jaramillo Ruiz Felipe 
Published: April 2017

El artículo examina cómo la paridad de género es un mecanismo viable para proteger la capacidad de transformación que caracteriza a la democracia. Fundamentalmente, se sostiene que un sistema democrático debe ofrecer espacios de deliberación con el fin de debatir las relaciones de género y erradicar las prácticas de dominación. Así, se argumenta que la exclusión y censura de los grupos que cuestionan las prácticas predominantes de género contradice el espíritu de la democracia. Por lo tanto, si las mujeres no encuentran caminos institucionales para expresar sus ideas y materializar sus deseos y creencias, se deben diseñar instituciones democráticas que permitan su mayor inclusión.
La metafísica como la ciencia de la esencia: E. J. Lowe y Tomás de Aquino
Authors: Pérez Alejandro 
Published: April 2017

La metafísica después de ser ignorada por años ha regresado al centro de la escena en la filosofía contemporánea. Tomás de Aquino ha vivido una historiamuy parecida, lo que dio nacimiento al tomismo analítico. A pesar de los trabajos desarrollados en esta línea de investigación, la metafísica del Aquinate ha sido fuertemente ignorada. Sin embargo, la metafísica de Tomás de Aquino tiene una ventaja, poco discutida entre los tomistas y tomasinos, y es la de ser una metafísica esencialista. Así, en armonía con el trabajo del metafísico E. J. Lowe, quien presenta su metafísica como “esencialista seria”, se quiere mostrar que la metafísica del Aquinate tiene las mismas virtudes del “esencialismo serio”, lo que permite postularla como una posición válida y plausible para la metafísica contemporánea.
Do Investors Benefit from Selective Access to Management?
Authors: Bushee Brian J. , Jung Michael J. , Miller Gregory S. 
Published: April 2017

ABSTRACT
This paper examines whether selective access to corporate managers allows investors to revise their beliefs and execute profitable trades. We examine whether investors benefit from two potential opportunities for selective access at invitation-only investor conferences: one-on-one meetings with managers throughout the day and breakout sessions with managers after the webcast presentation. We find significant increases in trade sizes during the hours when firms provide offline access to investors, consistent with selective access providing investors with information they perceive to be valuable enough to trade upon. We also find significant potential trading gains concentrated primarily in three-day horizons after the conference for firms providing formal offline access, suggesting that selective access can lead to profitable trading opportunities. These trading gains are associated with analyst notes published during that period, indicating that such notes are one potential source of revelation to the broader market. Our evidence suggests that selective access to management conveys benefits to certain investors even in the post-Reg FD period.

Reflexões acerca da aprendizagem baseada em problemas na abordagem de noções de cálculo diferencial e integral. <br> Reflections on the problem based learning in the approach of notions of differential calculation and integral
Authors: Souza Débora Vieira de , Fonseca Rogério Ferreira da 
Published: April 2017

Neste trabalho, apresentamos reflexões acerca do ensino e aprendizagem de noções de Cálculo Diferencial e Integral. Mediante os aportes teóricos pertinentes, propõe-se atividades para abordar noções de Cálculo, como limites e derivadas, tomando como princípio norteador uma metodologia ativa, no caso, a Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (Problem-Based Learning - PBL). Espera-se integrar conteúdos e conceitos matemáticos com as práticas profissionais de universitários, promovendo aprendizagens significativas. Consideramos que por meio da inserção de problemas motivadores, reais ou realísticos, certos entraves observados no ensino e na aprendizagem de Cálculo, podem ser amenizados, bem como contribuir com a construção de conhecimentos transdisciplinares. This paper presents reflections on the teaching and learning of Differential and Integral Calculus notions. By relevant theoretical contributions, we propose activities to address calculation notions as limits and derivatives, taking as a guiding principle an active methodology in the case, the Problem-Based Learning (Problem Based Learning - PBL). Expected to integrate mathematical content and concepts with the university of professional practices, promoting meaningful learning. We believe that by inserting motivators, real or realistic problems, certain obstacles observed in teaching and learning calculus, can be softened as well as contribute to the construction of disciplinary knowledge.
L’A.S.I., analyseur et revelateur: de la complexite cognitive taxonomique <br> A.S.I., analyser and developer: of taxonomic cognitive complexity
Authors: Gras Regis , Bodin Antoine 
Published: April 2017

RésuméDans cet article, nous montrons comment l’ASI permet de valider la hiérarchie de complexité d’exercices de mathématiques proposés à de jeunes élèves en nous appuyant sur une taxonomie d’objectifs cognitifs. Inversement, cette taxonomie est confortée par des résultats d’enquêtes nationales et internationales, ce qui assure une cohérence en moyens et fin. Ainsi, si l’ASI s’avère être un bon outil d’analyse d’une hiérarchie ordonnée entre des compétences, elle permet aussi de révéler un ordre de complexité entre des tâches. AbstractIn this article, we show how the ASI allows to validate the hierarchy of complexity of mathematical exercises proposed to young students by relying on a taxonomy of cognitive objectives. Conversely, this taxonomy is reinforced by the results of national and international surveys which ensures a coherence in means and purpose. Thus, if the ASI proves to be a good tool for analyzing an ordered hierarchy between competencies, it also reveals an order of complexity between tasksRESUMONeste, mostramos como a ASI permite validar a hierarquia de complexidade de exercícios de matemática propostos a jovens alunos, apoiando-nos em uma taxionomia de objetivos cognitivos. Por outro lado, essa taxonomia é validada pelos resultados de investigações nacionais e internacionais, que garante uma consistência em termos de meios e finalidades. Assim, Se ASI acaba sendo uma boa ferramenta para análise de uma hierarquia ordenada entre competências, ela permite, também, revelar uma ordem de complexidade entre as tarefas.
Los clíticos pronominales del español. Estructura y función
Authors: Bogard Sergio 
Published: April 2017

Fecha de recepción: 7 de octubre de 2013. Fecha de aceptación: 8 de abril de 2015. En este trabajo, presento una propuesta de visión global del comportamiento gramatical de los clíticos pronominales, reflexivos y no reflexivos, del español mexicano. En primer lugar, me refiero a la estructura de la palabra verbal que ha incorporado clíticos. En segundo lugar, muestro que los clíticos se comportan o como pronombres o como marcas de concordancia sintáctica,así como las situaciones que propician dicho comportamiento. Y, en tercer lugar, me dedico a la descripción de la versatilidad funcional de los clíticos etimológicamente reflexivos para proponer cuatro grandes usos generales: 1)marca de concordancia sintáctica en la expresión de los sentidos reflexivo y recíproco, 2) marca de voz (activa impersonal, pasiva, anticausativa y antipasiva),3) marca de participante subjetivamente afectado y 4) marca de aspectoperfectivo en construcciones transitivas con sentido de accomplishment.
El estatus categorial de "puros" prenominal: un determinante improbable
Authors: Vázquez Rojas Maldonado Violeta 
Published: April 2017

Fecha de recepción: 6 de octubre de 2014.Fecha de aceptación: 18 de agosto de 2015. En español mexicano, la expresión puros –como en la oración vinieron puros turistas– tiene un comportamiento complejo: por un lado, introduce una frase nominal con alcance inerte, que en este aspecto no se distingue de un plural escueto; por otro lado, puros tiene la distribución sintáctica de un determinante. Como determinante, sin embargo, puros muestra una peculiaridad: su complemento sintáctico no se corresponde con su restrictor semántico, lo cual va contra el universal que predice que los determinantes de las lenguas naturales son conservativos. En este trabajo, propongo un análisis de puros como modificador adjetival y sugiero, además, que este análisis se puede extender a algunas expresiones identificadas en otras lenguas como posibles determinantes no-conservativos.
La influencia de los libros de caballerías en las obras cervantinas sobre el cautiverio
Authors: Martín Romero José Julio 
Published: April 2017

Fecha de recepción: 21 de enero de 2015.Fecha de aceptación: 3 de marzo de 2015. El cautiverio en las obras de Cervantes se hace eco de determinadas experiencias biográficas, así como de ficción literaria. La crítica ha analizado su relación con la novela bizantina, pero apenas ha estudiado el influjo de los textos caballerescos. Este artículo determina la influencia de los libros de caballerías –especialmente de Palmerín de Olivia– en las obras cervantinas sobre el cautiverio, como las comedias El trato de Argel y Los baños de Argel, así como en la novela ejemplar El amante liberal. Este artículo demuestra que no puede rechazarse la influencia sobre Cervantes del reflejo del cautiverio en Palmerín de Olivia, especialmente en lo que concierne a la trama del “amante celestino”.
