Performance Evaluation of a Titania-coated Reticulated Foam Photocatalytic Oxidation Reactor
Authors: Changrani Rajnish , Raupp Gregory B. 
Published: January 2017

AbstractWe have constructed and evaluated the performance of a gas-solid annular photocatalytic oxidation reactor that incorporates an alumina reticulated foam monolith element as a titania catalyst support. The reticulate occupies the annular region formed by the lamp and the outer reactor tube. Three alumina reticulates possessing different mean pore sizes and pore densities, designated as 10, 20 and 30 pores-per-inch (PPI) were employed. The reticulates were wash-coated with Degussa P25 titania. Light transmittance measurements through the reticulates showed that 30 PPI reticulate, the least optically dense element, captures the most light. Photocatalytic oxidation of dilute isopropanol (IPA) in air was chosen as the probe reaction to assess the performance of each reticulate- catalyst coating configuration. Process parameters varied were inlet IPA concentration, incident UV intensity, and mean gas residence time. For similar catalyst loadings, the 30 PPI reticulate outperformed both the 20 and 10 PPI reticulates, while the 20 PPI reticulate modestly outperformed the 10 PPI reticulate. With increasing titania coating yielding thicker titania films, general performance increases until a critical thickness is achieved. Light intensity measurements and simple forward UV intensity profile calculations reveal that reticulate performance is largely governed by the UV intensity profile. For a given reticulate, results suggest that the optimum thickness of the TiO

Abstract
The paper examines the politics of security deployment by the Federal Government of Nigeria to Jos, metropolis. A cross-sectional study was conducted and Public Opinion Theory adopted. Methodologically, mixed methods of data collection were conducted that involved the administration of 377 questionnaires to adult respondents, six In-Depth Interviews with religious and community leaders while three Key Informant Interviews with security personnel working with Special Task Force. The survey reveals that, the deployment of Mobile Police from 2001-2010 and the formation of Special Task Force in 2010 has generated mixed reactions and divergent perceptions among the residents of Jos metropolis. Majority of the ethnic groups that are predominantly Christians were more contented with the deployment of the Mobile Police whereas ethnic groups that are dominantly Muslims questioned the neutrality, capability, performance and strength of the Nigerian Police Force in managing the crises. The study recommends that, security personnel should display high degree of neutrality in order to earn the confidence of the residents and change their perceptions.
Membrane permeabilizing action of amphidinol 3 and theonellamide A in raft-forming lipid mixtures
Authors: Espiritu Rafael A. 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Amphidinol 3 (AM3) and theonellamide A (TNM-A) are potent antifungal compounds produced by the dinoflagellate Amphidinium klebsii and the sponge Theonella spp., respectively. Both of these metabolites have been demonstrated to interact with membrane lipids ultimately resulting in a compromised bilayer integrity. In this report, the activity of AM3 and TNM-A in ternary lipid mixtures composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (POPC):brain sphingomyelin:cholesterol at a mole ratio of 1:1:1 or 3:1:1 exhibiting lipid rafts coexistence is presented. It was found that AM3 has a more extensive membrane permeabilizing activity compared with TNM-A in these membrane mimics, which was almost complete at 15 μM. The extent of their activity nevertheless is similar to the previously reported binary system of POPC and cholesterol, suggesting that phase separation has neither beneficial nor detrimental effects in their ability to disrupt the lipid bilayer.
Health Care Transition: Youth, Family, and Provider Perspectives
Authors: Reiss John G. , Gibson Robert W. , Walker Leslie R. 
Published: January 2017

Objective. This study examined the process of health care transition (HCT) posing the following questions: What are the transition experiences of youths and young adults with disabilities and special health care needs, family members, and health care providers? What are promising practices that facilitate successful HCT? What are obstacles that inhibit HCT?Methods. A qualitative approach was used to investigate these questions. Focus group interviews were conducted. Content and narrative analyses of interview transcripts were completed using ATLAS.ti.Results. Thirty-four focus groups and interviews were conducted with 143 young adults with disabilities and special health care needs, family members, and health care providers. Content analysis yielded 3 content domains: transition services, which presents a chronological understanding of the transition process; health care systems, which presents differences between pediatric and adult-oriented medicine and how these differences inhibit transition; and transition narratives, which discusses transition experience in the broader context of relationships between patients and health care providers.Conclusion. This study demonstrated the presence of important reciprocal relationships that are based on mutual trust between providers and families and are developed as part of the care of chronically ill children. Evidence supports the need for appropriate termination of pediatric relationships as part of the transition process. Evidence further supports the idea that pediatric and adult-oriented medicines represent 2 different medical subcultures. Young adults’ and family members’ lack of preparation for successful participation in the adult health care system contributes to problems with HCT.
Fluoride Varnish Use in Primary Care: What Do Providers Think?
Authors: Lewis Charlotte , Lynch Heather , Richardson Laura 
Published: January 2017

Objective. A number of state Medicaid programs, including Washington, reimburse pediatricians and other pediatric health care providers to apply fluoride varnish, a caries preventive agent, to eligible patients’ teeth. Little is known about the factors that encourage or impede diffusion of fluoride varnish into primary care physicians’ (PCPs’) offices. The objective of this study was to perform an in-depth case study of fluoride varnish diffusion in 12 pediatric, family medicine, and nurse practitioner offices that underwent fluoride varnish training.
Methods. We conducted focus groups with providers and staff in 12 community-based medical practices that had undergone fluoride varnish training within the previous 18 months. Topics of discussion included how the office staff learned about and sought fluoride varnish training, the perceived role of PCPs in oral health, oral health problems within the practice, specific details about the training, and organizational and logistic factors that promoted or impeded adoption. Focus groups were audiotaped and professionally transcribed; content analyses of the transcripts were conducted by the 3 authors.
Results. Three major themes emerged about the fluoride varnish diffusion process; these were preexisting factors, communication, and logistics. Within preexisting factors, PCPs learned about fluoride varnish through their involvement in public health-related activities and were influenced to participate in the training by their concerns for their patients’ oral health and difficulty gaining access to professional dental care. Among communication factors identified as important were qualities of the training session and the communication that occurred within the practice about fluoride varnish. When staff were included in the fluoride varnish decision-making and planning process, the practice was more likely to be successful in implementing fluoride varnish. Logistic factors included systems used to identify and capture eligible patients for fluoride varnish application. Other important logistic factors that were considered included division of labor and timing of the fluoride varnish application during the visit. Access to dental care was a persistent theme throughout the focus group discussions that had an impact on the other 3 major themes.
Conclusions. Fluoride varnish can be adopted successfully into medical practice given PCP and staff commitment and openness, training that leaves participants motivated, appropriate systems, and resources for professional dental care referral. In addition, PCP involvement with fluoride varnish provided opportunities to discuss preventive oral health with families. Specific recommendations to encourage fluoride varnish diffusion in other settings are offered for program planners and PCP offices.

Published: January 2017

BACKGROUND. Disadvantaged urban children with asthma depend heavily on emergency departments (EDs) for episodic care. We hypothesized that among an urban population of children with asthma, higher spatial accessibility to primary care pediatric services would be associated with (1) more scheduled primary care visits for asthma, (2) better longitudinal asthma management, and (3) fewer unscheduled visits for asthma care.
METHODS. We enrolled children aged 12 months to 17 years, inclusive, who sought acute asthma care in an urban pediatric ED. Eligibility criteria included a history of unscheduled visits for asthma in the previous year. We collected comprehensive data on each participant's asthma medical management and prior health care utilization. In addition, we calculated each participant's spatial accessibility to primary care pediatric services, reported as a provider-to-population ratio at their place of residence. Patients then were stratified by their spatial accessibility to care and compared with respect to measures of medical management and health care utilization.
RESULTS. Among the 411 eligible participants, the spatial accessibility of primary care ranged from 7.4 to 350.2 full-time pediatric providers per 100000 children &lt;18 years of age, with a mean of 57.7 ± 40.0. Patients in the middle and highest tertiles of spatial accessibility made significantly more scheduled visits for asthma care than patients in the lowest tertile. There were no differences among tertiles of accessibility with respect to asthma management or with respect to unscheduled visits for asthma care.
CONCLUSIONS. Within this highly urban, largely disadvantaged and minority population of children with chronic asthma, patients with higher spatial accessibility to primary care services made significantly more scheduled visits for asthma care.

Authors: Sierra Franco Angélica , Guevara Guevara Oscar 
Published: January 2017

Resumen: La contaminación visual en los centros urbanos debe ser considerada en nuestros tiempos como un factor determinante en el deterioro de la calidad de vida y la ruptura del paisaje urbano, en tanto provoca una desvalorización de la propiedad pública y privada, como resultado de la dinámica desordenada de la competitividad en las dimensiones institucionales, cívicas, políticas y comerciales. Por tanto, debe ser regulada, prevenida y controlada. Este planteamiento surge de la necesidad de promover la conservación, protección y sostenibilidad del paisaje urbano, conformado por los elementos que constituyen el espacio público del centro de Sincelejo, y su valoración histórico-patrimonial, como factor fundamental para preservar y mantener el equilibrio visual de los mismos. El trabajo tiene como finalidad garantizar el derecho constitucional de gozar de un ambiente sano y ecológicamente equilibrado. Y que, a su vez, se convierta en un eje articulador de las propuestas turísticas que tiene la región, en cuanto a la promoción de los bienes inmuebles culturales e históricos que se emplazan en esta zona.

___Abstract: The visual pollution in urban centers must be considered in our times as a determining factor in the deterioration of the quality of life and the rupture of the urban landscape, while causing a devaluation of public and private property, because of the disordered dynamics of competitiveness in the institutional, civic, political and commercial dimensions. Therefore, it must be regulated, prevented and controlled. This approach arises from the need to promote the conservation, protection and sustainability of the urban landscape, made up of the elements that constitute the public space of the center of Sincelejo, and its historical and patrimonial valuation, as a fundamental factor to preserve and maintain the visual balance of the same. The purpose of the work is to guarantee the constitutional right to enjoy a healthy and ecologically balanced environment. Moreover, that, in turn, become an articulating axis ofthe tourist proposals that the region has, in terms of the promotion of cultural and historicalreal estate that are located in this area.

La administración de las citas de los pacientes en los consultorios dentales suele generar problemas cuando se hace de manera manual. Algo similar sucede con el registro de las visitas, que se almacena en una hoja de cálculo e incluso en hojas de papel, ocasionando demoras al momento de buscar el historial de algún paciente. La creación de una interfaz con ayuda de programación JavaScript, AJAX, y PHP, permite una administración más integral y, por lo tanto, el beneficio de brindar una atención más rápida, eficaz y competitiva.

Orfeo en el discurso artístico: la pervivencia de un arquetipo / Orpheus in the artistic discourse: the survival of an archetype
Authors: Sánchez Usón María José 
Published: January 2017

Orfeo ha sido tratado como inspiración y temática por la gran mayoría de artistas de todos los géneros, tiempos y lugares, atraídos, sin duda, por el imperecedero hechizo de su lira. Ante esto, cabe preguntarse de dónde viene la fascinación que ha contribuido a popularizar y preservar la historia órfica, y la respuesta nos conduce a diferentes orígenes: Primeramente, de la atractiva dualidad que conjuga su mito, dos extremos: el amor y la muerte; la luz, representada en la naturaleza en todo su esplendor y en la radiante Eurídice, y la oscuridad, contenida en sucatábasis o descensus ad inferos. Orfeo cautiva, también, por haber sido introductor de ritos y misterios, y, en suma, por toda la ambigüedad que rodea su vida y su muerte, susceptibles de un complejo simbolismo.
