Authors: Chahal Priyanka , Singh Jaswinder 
Published: January 2018

Introduction: Estimation of stature plays an important role in forensic anthropometry as it
helps in estimating the identity of an individual. Many studies for estimating the stature from
measuring long bones, with derivation of formulas are there. The present study is an attempt to
evaluate a possible correlation between stature of an individual and foot length in adults.
Material and Methods: A sample of 100 medical students; 50 males & 50 females studying in
Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences was considered & measurements were
taken for height and foot length.
Results: It was found that both the parameters showed a correlation with each other. The
linear equation derived from this relationship is y=0.1436x+0.7097.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the present study has provided regression equations for
stature and foot length of an individual that can be used for stature estimation.

Published: January 2018

Introduction: Advanced squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck are usually treated with
surgery and/or radiotherapy. Integration of chemotherapy also plays an important role for
improving organ preservation. Various prognostic factors help in selecting the appropriate
treatment regimen for the individual patient. The present study was conducted to identify the
prognostic factors in head and neck cancers.
Material and Methods: Previously untreated 33 patients of squamous cell carcinoma were
selected. They were treated with concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The response
assessment was analyzed in terms of various patient, tumor and treatment related factors.
Statistical analysis was done using chi square test.
Results: Etiological factors tobacco & alcohol, non-vegetarean diet were associated with a
poor outcome but were not statistically significant. Clinical factors- like higher N-stage
(p=0.04) and AJCC stage (p=0.03) were found to be significant predictors of poor prognosis
while T-stage was not found significant, probably due to short follow-up. Patients receiving
less than 5 cycles of concurrent chemotherapy had a significantly worse prognosis (p=0.04).
Among the pathological factors that were studied, high mitotic index (Grade III or more) were
associated with a significantly poorer prognosis (p=0.04).
Conclusion: Many clinico pathological factors have been correlated with locoregional control
in head and neck cancers. These can be used to individualize the treatment by different surgical
techniques, various radiotherapy dose & fractionation schedules and chemotherapy protocols.
Para uma metacrítica da organização escolar
Authors: Carvalho Maria João Cardoso , Brás José Viegas , Gonçalves Maria Neves Leal 
Published: January 2018

Este artigo centra-se na problematização do modo de organização das escolas e da sua relação com a racionalidade instrumental, que o Estado adota na sua tomada de decisão, na tentativa de evidenciarmos os fenómenos que expressam uma suposta neutralidade e uma naturalização que as ideologias neoliberais preconizam. O objectivo deste trabalho é proceder a uma Crítica do pensamento crítico à qualidade da Organização Escolar. Nesta abordagem fizemos da Teoria Crítica uma categoria teórica para a análise das organizações escolares. Elegemos a Escola de Frankfurt, para discutir e refletir sobre outros modos, ou outras lógicas de representar e perspetivar, no caso, a organização escolar. Como conclusão podemos destacar o contributo da Teoria Crítica para a reinvenção da organização escolar.

Authors: Langona Neichelli Fabrício , Gama Renata Prenstteter 
Published: January 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as dimensões do trabalho do coordenador pedagógico no contexto escolar. O estudo foi de natureza qualitativa e interpretativa com a utilização de questionários respondidos por 23 coordenadores pedagógicos que atuam em escolas municipais dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental na prefeitura de Jundiaí-SP. Através das devolutivas dos coordenadores e do referencial consultado foi possível constatar que os coordenadores exercem inúmeras funções no cotidiano da escola e que elas podem ser organizadas em quatro categorias: (i) processos de ensino e aprendizagem (ii) organização escolar (iii) ambiente democrático e participativo e (iiii) trabalho formativo. Como resultado identificamos que os coordenadores pedagógicos participantes da pesquisa consideram que o trabalho formativo deve ser priorizado.
Juventudes e participação política no Brasil do século XXI
Authors: Corrochano Maria Carla , Dowbor Monika , Jardim Fabiana A. A. 
Published: January 2018

O que as percepções e ações protagonizadas pelos jovens brasileiros no século XXI nos dizem sobre a relação entre eles e a política? Partindo de fontes secundárias – a pesquisa Agenda Nacional da Juventude de 2013 e experiências de participação juvenil em manifestações políticas ocorridas desde 2003, evidenciamos maior valorização das formas e canais não institucionais de fazer política e de crítica à política institucionalizada. A análise recupera o conceito de geração de Mannheim e sua diferenciação entre posição, conexão e unidade geracional, tornando visíveis as mediações entre contexto histórico, participação política e a constituição de novas unidades geracionais no Brasil, caracterizadas pela diversidade de respostas (conservadoras e progressistas) aos desafios do presente.
Feminismos e direito à comunicação
Authors: Lahni Cláudia Regina , Auad Daniela 
Published: January 2018

O artigo enfoca e analisa a multiplicidade das mulheres lésbicas, bissexuais e transexuais e suas identidades colocadas à margem. Essas mulheres podem ser reconhecidas como a pièce de résistance da democracia, uma vez que as exclusões às quais são submetidas podem ser marcadores da cidadania ainda não alcançada. Observando esse cenário, distante de um contexto de mídia democrática, se questiona o lugar de lésbicas, bissexuais, transexuais, a partir do diálogo entre estudos feministas e a análise de séries de televisão, como Orange Is The New Black dentre outras. O texto aborda como a representação de diferentes femininos, com diversidade racial, de identidade de gênero e de orientação sexual, pode contribuir para a cidadania das mulheres, sua maior representação nas produções midiáticas e em todos os espaços da sociedade.

Was Poland the next Spain? Parallel analysis of regional convergence patterns after accession to the European Union
Authors: Wójcik Piotr 
Published: January 2018

Research background: Poland and Spain share many common features resulting both from similarities of historical experience, and also cultural, political, socio-demographic factors. Both countries have a similar area, population and GDP structure. They also share historical experience related to political and economic transformation after a long period of non-democratic, centralized governments. Therefore, the experience of Spanish membership in the EU is often considered as a model for Poland.
Purpose of the article: The purpose of this research is to perform a comparative empirical analysis of income convergence processes in Poland and Spain on a regional level. We aim to verify if and how these processes are related to one an-other (show similar paths). Special attention is paid to the periods after accession of these countries to the EU. Convergence patterns in both countries are compared with several tools.
Methods: Spatial econometric model for absolute beta convergence, sigma convergence indicators and the analysis of distribution dynamics ? transition matrices and kernel density estimation.
Findings & Value added: The impact on EU accession on income convergence in Spain was positive both at the national and regional level. Regional convergence processes sped-up and interregional disparities decreased. The poorest subregions had relatively high probability to increase their income and catch-up with initially more developed regions. In the first decade after accession to the EU Poland has also achieved a significant improvement of income indicators at the national level. However, empirical analyses of GDP per capita distribution and its dynamics at the regional level in Poland show that the above mentioned progress does not spread out proportionally on all regions. Neither beta nor sigma convergence is observed. Instead, relatively fastest growth of initially richest regions (mostly large cities) introduces convergence of clubs leading to polarization. EU accession has accelerated divergence processes in Poland.
Logit and Probit application for the prediction of bankruptcy in Slovak companies
Authors: Kovacova Maria , Kliestik Tomas 
Published: January 2018

Research background: Prediction of bankruptcy is an issue of interest of various researchers and practitioners since the first study dedicated to this topic was published in 1932. Finding the suitable bankruptcy prediction model is the task for economists and analysts from all over the world. forecasting model using. Despite a large number of various models, which have been created by using different methods with the aim to achieve the best results, it is still challenging to predict bankruptcy risk, as corporations have become more global and more complex.
Purpose of the article: The aim of the presented study is to construct, via an empirical study of relevant literature and application of suitable chosen mathematical statistical methods, models for bankruptcy prediction of Slovak companies and provide the comparison of overall prediction ability of the two developed models.
Methods: The research was conducted on the data set of Slovak corporations covering the period of the year 2015, and two mathematical statistical methods were applied. The methods are logit and probit, which are both symmetric binary choice models, also known as conditional probability models. On the other hand, these methods show some significant differences in process of model formation, as well as in achieved results.
Findings & Value added: Given the fact that mostly discriminant analysis and logistic regression are used for the construction of bankruptcy prediction models, we have focused our attention on the development bankruptcy prediction model in the Slovak Republic via logistic regression and probit. The results of the study suggest that the model based on a logit functions slightly outperforms the classification accuracy of probit model. Differences were obtained also in the detection of the most significant predictors of bankruptcy prediction in these types of models constructed in Slovak companies.

Authors: Sorbera Maria , Mathew Cathleen , Christy Ramdeen Shannon 
Published: January 2018

Purpose: Being the leading cause of liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) has become a growing public health threat within the United States. Of those individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), approximately 25% are co- infected with HCV. Establishment of a hepatitis C collaborative drug therapy management (CDTM) service can expand the role of pharmacists in an interdisciplinary team improving health outcomes for an underserved HIV/HCV co-infected patient population.
Summary: In 2016, physicians and pharmacists identified a need to establish Hepatitis C pharmacy services in an HIV clinic. Through the recent establishment of CDTM and implementation of pharmacy services, pharmacists are now given the autonomy to manage patients co-infected with HIV/HCV. It is believed that the addition of a clinical pharmacist to an interdisciplinary team will lead to improved SVR rates, adherence, and clinic revenue, as well as decreased ADRs and drug-drug interactions among co-infected patients.
Conclusion: Implementation of HCV pharmacy services directed towards HIV/HCV co- infection is an essential patient-centered strategy addressing complex medication-related problems in an attempt to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. A single-centered, prospective study to evaluate HCV pharmacy services at the Treatment for Life Center clinic is currently ongoing.

â€œPromote the Uptake of Male Circumcision" for HIV Prevention: A Concept Analysis
Authors: Maibvise Charles , Mavundla Thandisizwe R 
Published: January 2018

Over the past decade, efforts have been made to promote the uptake of male circumcision (MC) in 14 selected high HIV epidemic countries, following reports that MC reduces the risk of female-to-male HIV transmission by about 60Â per cent. Despite these efforts, the uptake of MC remains low, partly due to poor and/or subjective understanding of the concept â€œpromote the uptake of MCâ€ in the context of HIV prevention. This study aimed at clarifying the conceptual meaning of â€œpromote the uptake of MCâ€ for HIV prevention in high HIV and low MC prevalent settings. Walker and Avantâ€™s eight-step method of concept analysis was used. An integrative review of literature was conducted. An open online search was conducted using Google and Google Scholar, targeting all relevant literature, grey and scientific. Specific databases were also explored, which included PubMed, Science Direct, SCORPUS, and CINAHL. Accessible relevant hard copy literature was also considered. Data were analysed qualitatively and thematically. Findings show that the concept â€œpromote the uptake of MCâ€ has connotations that extend to several contexts, which include culture and religion, biomedical sciences, education, construction, as well as health and medicine. Conceptually, in HIV prevention, it is a process that involves healthcare providers, uncircumcised men and their social environment. The integral components of the process are educative interactions, the provision of MC services and social support. It is recommended that healthcare providers carefully consider this conceptual understanding in their efforts to promote the uptake of MC for HIV prevention.

Published: January 2018

HIV infection is a chronic infection of the immune system with a target of CD4 cells. Total lymphocyte count (TLC) can be done in resource-limited areas and are able to be used as a substitute to CD4 count. An increase in CD8 count can disturb the correlation between CD4 and TLC especially during the late clinical stage.Objective of this research is to find out the correlation of total lymphocyte count with CD4 count and to find out the influence of the clinical staging on the correlation of total lymphocyte count and CD4 count.This study is an observational, analytical and cross sectional study using the medical records of Klinik Teratai RSHS Bandung. The data is sorted according to the WHO clinical staging and are analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and Fisher’s transformation with α=0.05. The results showed that TLC have a correlation with CD4 count in all stadiums (r: 0,501-0,684, p<0,01). There is no significant difference of the correlation coefficients between the clinical stages (p>0.05). There is a correlation between TLC and CD4 count on HIV infected patients and there is no significant decrease of correlation of TLC and CD4 count on HIV infected patients with worsening of the WHO clinical stages. Keywords: CD4 count, total lymphocyte count, HIV/AIDS

Published: January 2018

Various factors contribute to the routine hematology values in a healthy-looking person. Variability in analysis methods can also influence the results. However, all of the factors above can be standardized. Those variables have to be considered in determining hematology reference values. The aim of this research is to compare routine hematology results based on local RSHS Clinical Pathology laboratory with Sysmex KX-21 reference values in Medical Check Up (MCU) patients. Another aim is to determine own reference values of RSHS Clinical Pathology Laboratory. The subject of research is MCU patients who came to RSHS Clinical Pathology laboratory, Bandung, for medical check-ups and declared healthy by the internist, and meet the inclusion criteria. The method used is diagnostic test research with cross-sectional descriptive design. The result shows that routine hematology values range that is not too different from reference value range used for KX-21 in Japanese population. Nevertheless, the value range acquired in this research is closer to reference values in Wintrobe reference book. In conclusion, this research shows that routine hematology results of normal population in RSHS are closer to Wintrobe reference values compared to Sysmex KX-21 reference value in Japanese population. Keywords : reference value range, MCU, Wintrobe, Sysmex KX-21
