Published: November 2017

Η εκδήλωση συμπεριφορών με στοιχείαΔ.Ε.Π.Υ.στο νηπιαγωγείο συνδέεται με φτωχή κοινωνική και σχολική λειτουργία. Οσεβασμός σε διαδικασίες και άτομα,που διαμορφώνουν την ορθήσυμπεριφορά μέσα στην τάξη,προϋποθέτουν την ικανότητα ελέγχου και διαχείρισης στοιχείων της προσοχής και των συναισθημάτων. Συνακόλουθα, η μείωση των ανεπιθύμητων συμπεριφορών νηπίου με στοιχεία ΔΕΠΥ μπορεί να επιτευχθεί μέσα από προγράμματα προαγωγής της αυτορρύθμισης και των κοινωνικών δεξιοτήτων.Το εξατομικευμένο πρόγραμμα που καταρτίζεται γι’ αυτό το σκοπό περιλαμβάνει δραστηριότητες:Αναγνώρισης των ατομικών συναισθημάτων και των συναισθημάτων των άλλων-συμμαθητών, δασκάλων.Αυτή περιλαμβάνει τη συνειδητοποίηση των λεκτικών και μη λεκτικών σημείων των ανθρώπινων μηνυμάτων.Σύνδεσης καθημερινών καταστάσεων με το συναίσθημα που προκαλούν.Ομαδοποίησης συναφών συναισθημάτων.Αποδοχής της διαφορετικότητας.Εκμάθησης του τρόπου ανάπτυξης φιλιών.Εκτόνωσης της υπερδιέργεσης.Η ενεργή ανταπόκριση του νηπίου με Δ.Ε.Π.Υ. αυξάνεται με τη σκόπιμη εμπλοκή και άλλων συμμαθητών σε συγκεκριμένες δραστηριότητες.Επιπλέον το εξατομικευμένο πρόγραμμα υιοθετεί τεχνικές της οικοσυστημικής προσέγγισης των προβλημάτων συμπεριφοράς. Η πρώτη είναι η τεχνική της αναπλαισίωσης και η δεύτερη της θετικής υποδήλωσης κινήτρων ενώ ταυτόχρονα γίνεται αποδεκτό ότι οι συμπεριφορές του νηπίου είναι ‘τεχνικές επικοινωνίας’ για εκείνο.

Creating developmentally appropriate and culture-sensitive songs for Arabic-speaking preschool children in Israel: Considerations and directions
Authors: Gluschankof Claudia 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Songs for children (i.e. a singing repertoire aimed at or performed by children), can be found in most societies. In Arabic-speaking societies, published and accessible collections of songs for children are few. In this article, I examine the issue of Arabic-language children’s songs aimed at children ages three to six living in the twenty-first century: the challenges arising from the language’s diglossic nature and the songs’ musical style and lyrics content in an era of globalization and westernization. Then, I present a solution proposed by Beit Almusica, a Palestinian NGO based in Shefa-Amr, Israel, featuring a collection of developmentally appropriate and culture-sensitive new songs for contemporary young children whose first language is Palestinian Arabic.
Singing and playing together: A community music group in an early intervention setting
Authors: Niland Amanda 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this article I outline a community music programme for young children within an early childhood intervention service. The ‘community’ is local families with a child or children who experience disability. The programme is not therapy: its aim is to celebrate the natural interest in music and play of all children, and to provide an opportunity for families to get together and engage in shared music-making. Analysis of this programme highlights the value of participation in community music. It shows the ways music can support social inclusion and identity for children who experience disability and their families. While not ignoring the therapeutic role music can play, I explore instead the richness and joy that music brings to childhood and advocate for all children’s right to participate in music in their community. A social model perspective of disability and a rights-based approach to provisions for early childhood and early intervention inform the discussion.
Ghetto Classics: Bringing hope to underprivileged children in Kenya
Authors: Andang’o Elizabeth 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Ghetto Classics (GC) is a youth orchestra with players ranging from seven years old to late teens. It was formed around 2008 in Korogocho, a slum in Nairobi city, Kenya. The group performs western classical and other art music, introducing underprivileged children to the structure and discipline of art music performance. Through the lens of social constructivism theory proposed by Lev Vygotsky I will explore how children as learners construct ideas about music and their own musicality, as well as how knowledge construction in music results from interaction between learners and their tutors within the social environment of Korogocho slums with its attendant culture.
The role of institutions in fiscal discipline: Fiscal rules, budgetary procedures, fiscal agencies<p>Mali disiplinin sağlanmasında kurumların rolü: Mali kurallar, bütçesel prosedürler, mali kuruluşlar
Authors: Altun Tülin 
Published: November 2017

Not only do the principal-agent and common pool problems in public finance cause public resources to be allocated in an inefficient manner, they also lead to fiscal distortions. In order to overcome these issues, a variety of fiscal institutions are recommended in the literature. In this study, the roles that may be undertaken by fiscal rules, budgetary procedures, and fiscal agencies are discussed in light of theoretical/empirical studies and national experiences. Just as the efficiency of fiscal institutions is tied to a country’s budgetary procedures, the success of fiscal councils is tied to fiscal rules. Institutions are not alternatives to each other, but are rather complementary to each other. By ensuring fiscal transparency and implementing an accountability mechanism, fiscal institutions may generate fiscal discipline.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.

Effect of Protein and Polysaccharide-Based Edible Coatings on Quality of Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) During Drying
Authors: De Oliveira  , Silva Keila de S. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the application of three different edible coatings as pretreatment to drying and their influence on mass transfer kinetics, vitamin C retention and color preservation during process. Therefore, part of the slices of kiwifruit was covered with the pectin (with and without glycerol), another part was covered with the soy protein isolate and the rest of the samples were used as control, before the drying process at 60 °C and 70 °C. Vitamin C, color and water content were analyzed before and after the drying. Fick’s model and Page model were fitted to the experimental data obtained in drying process. The results highlighted the potential of using edible coating as an alternative to obtain high-quality dried food, reducing vitamin C losses and the darkening of the product without affecting the mass transfer during hot air drying.
Effect of Glycosylation Degree of Quercetin on Its In Vitro Bioaccessibility in Food Grade Organogels
Authors: Rocha-Amador Omar Gerardo , Gallegos-Infante Jose Alberto , Huang Qingrong , González-Laredo Ruben Francisco 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Bioavailability of lipophilic bioactive represents a main concern in food industries. Several methods have been used to enhance it. Organogels is an alternative to improve lipophilic substances delivery. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effect of organogel structures on digestibility of quercetin. Commercial monoacylglycerides (Myverol) was used as gelator. Three different vegetable oils were used (canola, corn, and soy). Samples were subject to rheological test, polarized light microscopy, and quercetin bioaccessibility. Results indicated that organogels prepared with canola oil showed higher elastic modulus, crystalline level, most ordered needled-shaped network, and higher bioaccessibility of quercetin. Quercetin glycosylation degree influences its behavior; better results in mechanical tests were observed for quercetin with lower degree of glycosylation. Higher bioaccessibility was obtained at higher glycosylation levels. Thus, a more resistant structure enhances compound release, but this is dependent on the oil type and the degree of glycosylation of quercetin.
Stemmatics and the Old French Prose Arthurian Romance Editions
Authors: Leonardi Lino 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Stemmatics, that is the branch of philology concerned with analysing the relationships among extant variant versions of a text, is not a common tool in the study of the manuscript traditions of Arthurian Old French Prose Romances. Moreover, the lack of faith in the method has often led to its being implemented unsatisfactorily. However, it would be possible to proceed differently in applying stemmatics to this type of textual tradition; and this method could also be very useful in order to understand the genesis of texts, their reconstruction, and their reception. The discussion focuses on editions of the most important romances, such as the Lancelot-Grail-Cycle, the Prose Tristan and the Guiron-Cycle.

Authors: Szabó Andrea , Oross Dániel 
Published: November 2017

AbstractIn our study, we wish to give an overview of integration mechanisms in Hungarian society. We focus on system integration, that is, on the political processes and interactions that re-establish social mechanisms of co-existence in society. We approach system integration from the dimension of action. Three hypotheses are tested on the database of Integration and Disintegration Processes within the Hungarian Society project. We present what explanatory factors influence the electoral, traditional and direct forms of political activity. We also discuss the relationship between cohorts, life events and participation, as well as the link between clients and participation.
Amphetamine Reverses Escalated Cocaine Intake via Restoration of Dopamine Transporter Conformation

Published: November 2017

Cocaine abuse disrupts dopamine system function, and reduces cocaine inhibition of the dopamine transporter (DAT), which results in tolerance. Although tolerance is a hallmark of cocaine addiction and a DSM-V criterion for substance abuse disorders, the molecular adaptations producing tolerance are unknown, and testing the impact of DAT changes on drug taking behaviors has proven difficult. In regard to treatment, amphetamine has shown efficacy in reducing cocaine intake; however, the mechanisms underlying these effects have not been explored. The goals of this study were twofold; we sought to (1) identify the molecular mechanisms by which cocaine exposure produces tolerance and (2) determine whether amphetamine-induced reductions in cocaine intake are connected to these mechanisms. Using cocaine self-administration and fast-scan cyclic voltammetry in male rats, we show that low-dose, continuous amphetamine treatment, during self-administration or abstinence, completely reversed cocaine tolerance. Amphetamine treatment also reversed escalated cocaine intake and decreased motivation to obtain cocaine as measured in a behavioral economics task, thereby linking tolerance to multiple facets of cocaine use. Finally, using fluorescence resonance energy transfer imaging, we found that cocaine tolerance is associated with the formation of DAT-DAT complexes, and that amphetamine disperses these complexes. In addition to extending our basic understanding of DATs and their role in cocaine reinforcement, we serendipitously identified a novel therapeutic target: DAT oligomer complexes. We show that dispersion of oligomers is concomitant with reduced cocaine intake, and propose that pharmacotherapeutics aimed at these complexes may have potential for cocaine addiction treatment.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTTolerance to cocaine's subjective effects is a cardinal symptom of cocaine addiction and a DSM-V criterion for substance abuse disorders. However, elucidating the molecular adaptions that produce tolerance and determining its behavioral impact have proven difficult. Using cocaine self-administration in rats, we link tolerance to cocaine effects at the dopamine transporter (DAT) with aberrant cocaine-taking behaviors. Further, tolerance was associated with multi-DAT complexes, which formed after cocaine exposure. Treatment with amphetamine deconstructed DAT complexes, reversed tolerance, and decreased cocaine seeking. These data describe the behavioral consequence of cocaine tolerance, provide a putative mechanism for its development, and suggest that compounds that disperse DAT complexes may be efficacious treatments for cocaine addiction.
Cured primary hyperparathyroidism after fine-needle aspiration biopsy-induced parathyroid disappearance
Authors: Kara Elda , Della Valle Elisa , De Vincentis Sara , Rochira Vincenzo , Madeo Bruno 
Published: November 2017

Summary
Spontaneous or fine-needle aspiration (FNAB)-induced remission of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) may occur, especially for cystic lesions. However, the disease generally relapses over a short time period. We present a case of PHPT due to an enlarged hyperfunctioning parathyroid that underwent long-term (almost 9 years) clinical and ultrasonographic remission after the disappearance of the lesion following ultrasound (US)-assisted FNAB. A 67-year-old woman with PHPT underwent biochemical and US examinations that confirmed the diagnosis and showed a lesion suggestive for parathyroid adenoma or hyperplasia. US-FNAB of the lesion confirmed its parathyroid nature by means of elevated levels of parathyroid hormone within the needle washing fluid. At the second visit, the patient referred slight neck swelling that resolved spontaneously in the days after the US-FNAB. At subsequent follow-up, the enlarged parathyroid was not found; it was visible neither with US nor with magnetic resonance imaging. Biochemical remission persists after 9 years. This is the first reported case of cure of PHPT after US-FNAB performed on a hyperfunctioning parathyroid resulting in its complete disappearance over a period of 9 years of negative biochemical and ultrasonographic follow-up.

Learning points:

Spontaneous or fine-needle aspiration-induced remission of primary hyperparathyroidism can occur.

Both circumstances may present disease relapse over a variable time period, but definite remission is also possible even though long-term periodic follow-up should be performed.

Parathyroid damage should be ruled out in case of neck symptomatology after parathyroid fine-needle aspiration or spontaneous symptomatology in patients with history of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Authors: Madjedi Kian , Isam Ahmed , Sorgini Curtis 
Published: November 2017

Objectives: 1) to undertake a review of the literature to provide information to clinicians and trainees about the epidemiology, treatment and most importantly, prevention, of trachoma - the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. 2) To highlight the diagnosis and treatment of this preventable infectious eye disease for trainees and to evaluate the efficacy of the SAFE treatment and prevention strategy endorsed by the WHO as the target trachoma elimination year of 2020 nears.
Methods: A review of the literature was undertaken. PubMED, Clinical Key, UpToDate and Google Scholar databases were searched using the following MeSH terms and keywords: trachoma, infectious eye disease, chlamydia trachomatis, SAFE, community prevention.
Results: The diagnosis of trachoma is typically clinical and is made by identifying the signs of conjunctival inflammation and scarring, trichiasis and corneal opacification in the context of a trachoma-endemic region. Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of the WHO’s SAFE (Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial Cleanliness, Environmental change) treatment and prevention strategy, the implementation of which has been associated with declining rates of trachoma worldwide.

Published: November 2017

Pengolahan citra digital semakin diminati, salah satunya pada sistem biometrik. Sistem biometrik merupakan sistem dalam pengenalan berdasarkan pola atau ciri khusus yang dimiliki makhluk hidup terutama manusia. Jenis identifikasi biometrik yang umum digunakan adalah pengenalan sidik jari. Sidik jari banyak digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari selama lebih dari 100 tahun karena penerimaan yang tinggi, permanen, akurat, dan keunikan. Kelebihan sidik jari tersebut disebabkan oleh minutiae yang merupakan garis atau guratan pada sidik jari yang berbeda-beda setiap individu. Klasifikasi sidik jari secara umum terbagi menjadi dua tahap yakni ekstraksi fitur serta klasifikasi fitur. <br /> <br /> Ektraksi fitur dapat dilakukan dengan cara filter seperti gabor filter dengan empat sudut orientasi yang berkisar 0, 45, 90 dan 135 derajat. Hasil dari ekstraksi ciri akan klasifikasi dengan tujutan identifikasi. Metode Support Vector Machine (SVM) dapat digunakan sebagai classifier untuk sistem biometrik sidik jari. SVM memiliki kernel trick yang berpengaruh pada akurasi yang dihasilkan. Digunakan SVM multiclass metode one-against-all dalam klasfikasi sidik jari untuk 25 kelas. Akurasi terbesar diperoleh oleh kernel Radial Basis Function (RBF) sebesar 73% untuk data awal dan 76% untuk penambahan data augmentasi
Removal of crotamiton and its degradation intermediates from secondary effluent using TiO2–zeolite composites
Authors: Xiang Qun , Fukahori Shuji , Nomura Youhei , Fujiwara Taku 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Crotamiton, a scabicide and antipruritic agent persistent during biological treatment processes, is frequently detected in secondary effluent. In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and high-silica zeolite (HSZ-385) composites were synthesized and applied for the treatment of crotamiton in secondary effluent. Crotamiton was rapidly adsorbed by HSZ-385, and the adsorption performance of crotamiton in the secondary effluent was quite close to that in the test using ultrapure water. Even though the TiO2–zeolite composites showed lower adsorption rates than that of HSZ-385, similar crotamiton adsorption capacities were revealed using both test materials. The photocatalytic decomposition of crotamiton was significantly inhibited by the water matrix at low initial concentrations. The TiO2–zeolite composites rapidly adsorbed crotamiton from secondary effluent, and then the crotamiton was gradually decomposed under ultraviolet irradiation. Importantly, when using TiO2–zeolite composites, coexisting material in the secondary effluent did not markedly inhibit crotamiton removal at low initial crotamiton concentration. The behaviors of the main intermediates during treatment demonstrated that the main degradation intermediates of crotamiton were also captured by the composites.
Energy consumption of agitators in activated sludge tanks – actual state and optimization potential
Authors: Füreder K. , Svardal K. , Frey W. , Kroiss H. , Krampe J. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Depending on design capacity, agitators consume about 5 to 20% of the total energy consumption of a wastewater treatment plant. Based on inhabitant-specific energy consumption (kWh PE120−1 a−1; PE120 is population equivalent, assuming 120 g chemical oxygen demand per PE per day), power density (W m−3) and volume-specific energy consumption (Wh m−3 d−1) as evaluation indicators, this paper provides a sound contribution to understanding energy consumption and energy optimization potentials of agitators. Basically, there are two ways to optimize agitator operation: the reduction of the power density and the reduction of the daily operating time. Energy saving options range from continuous mixing with low power densities of 1 W m−3 to mixing by means of short, intense energy pulses (impulse aeration, impulse stirring). However, the following correlation applies: the shorter the duration of energy input, the higher the power density on the respective volume-specific energy consumption isoline. Under favourable conditions with respect to tank volume, tank geometry, aeration and agitator position, mixing energy can be reduced to 24 Wh m−3 d−1 and below. Additionally, it could be verified that power density of agitators stands in inverse relation to tank volume.
