Chromosome numbers, Sudanese wild forms, and classification of the watermelon genus Citrullus, with 50 names allocated to seven biological species
Authors: Renner Susanne S. , Sousa Aretuza , Chomicki Guillaume 
Published: December 2017

AbstractWatermelons are among the most important vegetable crops worldwide, but targeted breeding is hindered by problems with Citrullus taxonomy. Here we clarify nomenclature and species relationships in Citrullus, its chromosome numbers, and the likely geographic region of watermelon domestication. We correct an erroneous chromosome count in recent literature, provide a count for an understudied species, and data on chromosome numbers for the entire genus. We also use a nuclear/plastid locus phylogeny to summarize data on Citrullus sexual systems, loss of tendrils, life history, and geographic ranges. Key insights from new sequences are that (i) material of C. vulgaris var. “colocynthoides”, collected by Schweinfurth in Egypt in 1882 represents the colocynth, C. colocynthis, and (ii) the citron or bitter watermelon, C. amarus, is indeed a separate species, not a subspecies of the dessert watermelon. Schweinfurth’s varietal name, a nomen nudum, has been widely used for seeds as old as 5400 BP, and it now needs to be investigated whether these seeds are colocynths, watermelon or a hybrid. To help improve Citrullus taxonomy and nomenclature, we allocate some 50 scientific names to seven biological species, tabulate chromosome counts, and provide notes on misidentified germplasms traceable by accession numbers. More wild‐collected herbarium‐verified material from northeast Africa is urgently needed, especially given the discovery of Russian breeders that populations of wild “cordophanus” from Sudan are closer to the cultivated watermelon than are any other wild populations so far known.

Peranan Perfini Dalam Mengembangkan Perfilman Nasional Indonesia 1950-1970
Authors: Ridayanti Neneng 
Published: December 2017

Artikel ini menganalisis mengenai peranan Perfini dalam membangun dan mengembangkan identitias perfilman Indonesia pada 1950-1970. Seperti yang telah diketahui, identitas film yang dibuat di tanah air pada masa kolonial hingga pendudukan Jepang, memiliki cerita yang tidak jelas karena dianggap tiruan dari film Cina, Amerika, ataupun India. Pada awal 1950-an rasa nasionalisme rakyat Indonesia bangkit kembali. Penduduk kota yang mengungsi ke desa-desa akibat perang, mulai kembali dan membutuhkan hiburan. Hal ini, mendorong maraknya produksi film Indonesia. Perusahaan film milik Tionghoa mulai bangkit kembali, begitupun dengan kaum pribumi. Inilah merupakan awal dari pertumbuhan perfilman nasional di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan metode sejarah diharapkan mampu mengurai dan mengidentifikasi posisi dan peranan organisasi ini dalam dunia perfilman Indonesia.
Purchasing decisions at private hospitals in the framework of resource dependency theory
Authors: Uygun Meltem 
Published: December 2017

The environment influencing hospitals in the health industry is quite complicated, and despite the high volume of inputs, the functions that occur at purchasing level are very intricate. The reason that the feedback mechanism of health services is not organized completely, and thus another reason that the health system is quite complicated, is diversification of inputs and the consequent rising volume of inputs from the environment, and high dependency on the environment. Governing the demands and pressures of the environmental actors and reorganizing them for its own benefit are only possible for the business, depending on how much power it has in the interdependent relationship. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the role of power as a concept when analyzing these environmental relationships in order to elucidate the behaviors of organizations. This study addresses power relations in the framework of resource dependency theory. The "power and dependency relationship" of the actors that are influential in purchasing decisions regarding clinics at a private hospital where physicians, who are experts in their field work, is the proposal of this research. The matter of which actors (hospital upper management, purchasing department, relevant expert physicians) have an influence on purchasing decisions and mutual relations are discussed in the context of power.

Published: December 2017

Abstract

Background:
Bannayan Riley Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) is exceedingly rare, with only about 50 reported cases to date.

Case presentation:
We report a patient with hypoglycemia, precocious puberty and diffuse testicular microlithiasis accompanying BRRS, and think that this case is important in the light of a newly identified mutation in the PTEN gene.

Conclusions:
Close attention must be paid in terms of PTEN mutations in cases of macrocephaly and accompanying neurological and dermatological findings.
Chlorogenic acid prevents alcohol-induced brain damage in neonatal rat
Authors: Guo Zikang , Li Jiang 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe present investigation evaluates the neuroprotective effect of chlorogenic acid (CA) in alcohol-induced brain damage in neonatal rats. Ethanol (12 % v/v, 5 g/kg) was administered orally in the wistar rat pups on postnatal days (PD) 7-9. Chlorogenic acid (100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered continuously from PD 6 to 28. Cognitive function was estimated by Morris water maze (MWM) test. However, activity of acetylcholinesterase, inflammatory mediators, parameters of oxidative stress and activity of caspase-3 enzyme was estimated in the tissue homogenate of cerebral cortex and hippocampus of ethanol-exposed pups. It has been observed that treatment with CA attenuates the altered cognitive function in ethanol-exposed pups. There was a significant decrease in the activity of acetylcholinesterase in the CA treated group compared to the negative control group. However, treatment with CA significantly ameliorates the increased oxidative stress and concentration of inflammatory mediators in the brain tissues of ethanol-exposed pups. Activity of caspase-3 enzyme was also found significantly decreased in the CA treated group compared to the negative control group. The present study concludes that CA attenuates the neuronal damage induced in alcohol exposed neonatal rat by decreasing the apoptosis of neuronal cells.

Published: December 2017

La formación y el entrenamiento en el desarrollo de las capacidades de visión e imaginación espacial durante la educación incrementan la habilidad de formar imágenes, y el rendimiento en las tareas que las utilizan. En esta investigación se analizó si el tipo de estudios (Arquitectura, y Administración y Dirección de Empresas) y la capacidad de rotar imágenes mentales influían en el número de aciertos, errores, y aciertos menos errores, en la rotación de mapas urbanos. Con este fin, se seleccionó un grupo de 208 estudiantes universitarios de Arquitectura, y de Administración y Dirección de Empresas, y les presentamos una tarea que consistió en analizar si la posición de 90 pares de mapas urbanos era igual o simétrica. Se evaluó el número de aciertos, errores, y aciertos menos errores. Se encontró que, tanto el tipo de estudio como la habilidad para rotar imágenes influyeron en el número de aciertos (sin contabilizar los errores), y en el número de rotaciones correctas (aciertos menos errores). La habilidad de rotar imágenes mentales también influyó en el número de errores en la rotación de mapas urbanos.

AbstractAimsSarcopenia has recently been given an ICD‐10 code. However, there have been no systematic investigations regarding the prevalence or prognostic value of sarcopenia in cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to the international consensus definition. The present study was performed to investigate the prevalence and prognostic value of sarcopenia in elderly patients with CVD.Methods and resultsThe study population consisted of 1603 admitted patients aged ≥ 65 years (74.4 ± 6.2 years, 1049 men) with CVD. Sarcopenia was defined according to the recommended diagnostic algorithm of the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia. The endpoint for the study was all‐cause mortality. The overall sarcopenia prevalence rate was 29.7% (19.6% in men and 48.7% in women). The prevalence rates of sarcopenia across major diagnostic categories were as follows: acute coronary syndrome, 17.8%; post‐cardiac surgery, 31.8%; and heart failure, 35.2%. During the 2.3 ± 2.1‐year follow‐up period, 175 deaths occurred. Patients with sarcopenia showed higher risk of all‐cause mortality compared with non‐sarcopenic patients (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.44; 95% confidence interval: 1.01 – 2.05; P = 0.044).ConclusionsSarcopenia is highly prevalent among elderly patients with CVD and is associated with increased mortality risk.

Authors: Dugan Omur , Bozyiğit Elif , Henry Ian 
Published: December 2017

The goal of the â€˜Olympic Movementâ€™ is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practices with Olympism and its values. To contribute to the Olympic Movement; Culture and Olympic Education Commission of Turkish NOC, has prepared an interactive Olympic education project called â€œOLIâ€ since 2009, which reached 3 million students. It is very important to develop a means to analyze if the Olympic education program OLI fullfills its aims. Therefore the research question of this study is â€œWhat are the principal aims of the OLI program and how can we develop an evaluation procedure to assess the extent to which these aims are achieved?â€ A sample group was a class of students (n=33) who participated in the OLI education. The methodology of the study included developing the survey from the context of education given to evaluate the program. Before and after case study was conducted to the students. The questions developed were related to knowledge about the modern Olympic Games and knowledge of attitudes associated with, Olympic values and Olympism. According to the results of the survey; the OLI project increased the knowledge about Modern Olympic Games and the knowledge of attitudes associated with, Olympic values and Olympism. The importance of the study was that; even though there is a wide range of approaches to Olympic education programs, there is indeed no detailed evaluation methods. With this study; an approach which is short, sharp, feasible and something which can be used relatively easy to implement was developed.

Published: December 2017

Kentsel
açık ve yeşil alanlar, kentleri cazip kılan unsurlar arasında yer almaktadır ve
deniz-kum-güneş üçlüsüne dayalı kitle turizmine alternatif olarak kent
turizminin ortaya çıkmasında da etkilidirler. Bu çalışmada Türk turizminin
başkenti olarak nitelenen Antalya'nın sahip olduğu açık ve yeşil alanların kent
turizmine katkısı belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla, Antalya kenti ile
ilgili yazılı ve görsel tanıtım kanalları incelenmiş ve ayrıca kenti ziyaret
eden yerli ve yabancı turistlerle anket çalışması yapılarak kentin sahip olduğu
yeşil alanların, turistlerin destinasyon tercihini etkileme gücü ölçülmeye
çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre ziyaretçilerin % 75.9'u yeşil
alanların seyahat kararlarını etkilediğini belirtmiştir. Antalya kentini tercih
etmeden önce kentin yeşil alanlarıyla ilgili bilgiye rastlayıp rastlamadıkları
sorgulandığında % 41.2'lik bir kesim herhangi bir bilgiye rastlamadığını
belirtmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar yeşil alanların kent turizminin
gelişiminde etkili olduğunu, ancak Antalya kentinin yeşil alanları ile ilgili
yeterli tanıtımın yapılmadığını ve yeşil alanların Antalya’nın markalaşma
sürecinde etkin kullanılmadığını ortaya koymuştur.
An Alternative Approach for Space Opening in a Bilateral Maxillary Lateral Incisor Agenesis Patient using Miniplates
Authors: Paranhos Luiz R , Meros Gladistone C , Shoji Aline , Suzuki Selly , Manfroi Rodrigo , Claus Jonathas , Garcez Aguinaldo 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT

Aim
This case report aimed to present an orthodontic mechanic alternative for space opening in a patient missing maxillary lateral incisors, using miniplates as anchorage, associated with self-ligating brackets.

Background
Dental agenesis affects the population causing esthetic and functional damages. The prevalence of missing maxillary lateral incisors should be considered for its significant rate and negative impact on smile esthetics.

Case report
This treatment was chosen based on the presence of balanced facial pattern, large canine anatomy, the need to improve dental occlusion to prevent further wear, and patient's esthetic complaint. To obtain the results, upper third molars were extracted, and two miniplates were installed to distalize the upper arch with no need for patient compliance or auxiliary devices. Self-ligating brackets were used to reduce friction on posterior teeth, thus facilitating movement with light force application. At the end of 19 months, the patient presented with class I good overbite and overjet, and adequate space for implant and prosthetics; also, good facial esthetic was maintained.

Conclusion
When indicated, space opening may provide excellent esthetics and functional results, and even more predictable results when skeletal anchorage miniplates are used to distalize all posterior teeth.

Clinical significance
Considering the high level of esthetic and functional compromise caused by dental agenesis, the technique hereby described represents a viable mechanic alternative within orthodontic possibilities.

Grossing of Oral Pathologies—Revisited
Authors: Shashidara Raju , Scindiya Ebi , Tryphena Ann 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT
Grossing pathologies, otherwise known as macroscopic cutup for diagnostic information, is a vital laboratory step as it impacts the patient treatment and prognosis. However, it is a challenging skill acquired with keen observation, experience, and correlation between macroscopy and microscopy. Before we make an attempt to gross, it is imperative to have sound knowledge about its general principles and its applications as it differs among different lesions. Thereby, we have made an attempt to enhance the guidelines for gross description and also updated on the general principles. A practical insight has been provided with respect to grossing of oral mucosal biopsies, pathology of malignancies, odontogenic cysts, cystic odontogenic tumors, salivary gland pathologies, and lymph nodes along with the brief history of gross pathology.

The Greeks, Pragmatism, and the Endless Mediation of Rhetoric and Philosophy
Authors: Schiappa Edward 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT
This article begins by revisiting the Greek origins of the terms “rhetoric” and “philosophy” from a nominalist and antiessentialist perspective. Though both terms were given early shape by Plato, Isocrates offered a different take on philosophia that arguably is equally legitimate, even if largely neglected historically. In contemporary scholarship, the question is not what is rhetoric or what is philosophy, but what can be gained by deploying rhetorical and philosophical vocabularies to describe and understand the world. Given the problems facing us today, philosophers and rhetoric scholars should engage each other to address challenges where our interests converge.
