Authors: Papí-Gálvez Natalia , López-Berna Sonia 
Published: October 2015

Los cambios tecnológicos producidos en la sociedad de la información, con especial atención a Internet, inciden también en el sistema educativo. Esta situación es especialmente significativa en aquellas carreras con perfiles profesionales definidos y que utilizan los medios para llegar a sus públicos, como es el caso de la Publicidad y las Relaciones Públicas.Se plantea un estudio exploratorio que pretende averiguar si la actual oferta educativa integra las competencias relacionadas con los perfiles profesionales en torno al medio online. Se utilizan las definiciones y competencias de los perfiles centrados en el medio online (ej. Community Manager, SEO, SEM) y otras ampliamente conocidas por el sector publicitario (planificador en Internet). La investigación se centra en las cinco universidades españolas con más alumnos en estudios de publicidad y relaciones públicas: UCM, RJC, UVA, UA y UOC. Se analizan los cursos de licenciatura aún vigentes, títulos propios, masteres universitarios y doctorado. Todos ellos en relación directa con la publicidad y las relaciones públicas. Los resultados permiten evaluar tanto la información disponible como la oferta educativa para el aprendizaje de las competencias de estos perfiles en el marco de la EEES.

Published: October 2015

Este estudio de caso describe las metodologías docentes y procedimientos de evaluación de la materia Teoría y práctica de las relaciones públicas, del título de grado en Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas de la Universidad de Vigo, con la finalidad de proponer mecanismos de mejora. Para ello se realiza un análisis y valoración de las dos ediciones en las que se ha impartido la asignatura, basado en la observación participante de la profesora, el análisis de contenido de las guías docentes, los resultados académicos obtenidos y las encuestas de evaluación docente respondidas por los alumnos. Según el análisis, la estructura de la materia permite la conjunción de diversas metodologías que, unidas a un sistema de evaluación diversificado, han llevado a la obtención de resultados muy positivos y a un elevado nivel de satisfacción de los alumnos, aunque a costa de una alta dedicación por parte del docente. Por ello, se proponen modificaciones en los ejercicios y el sistema de evaluación que faciliten el trabajo del docente sin perjudicar las posibilidades de adquisición de competencias por parte de los estudiantes.
Impacto de la creacion de la corporacion rtve en su política de recursos humanos
Authors: Ortiz Sobrino Miguel Ángel 
Published: October 2015

Con la puesta en marcha de la Ley de creación de la Corporación RTVE, en 2006, la radiotelevisión pública abordó un proceso de reestructuración de los recursos humanos de la empresa. Las dos medidas más importantes que entonces se acometieron estuvieron basadas en la aplicación de un Expediente de Regulación de Empleo que afectó a 4.100 trabajadores, así como la puesta en marcha de un nuevo sistema de clasificación profesional y un plan de carreras para los trabajadores de la Organización. Se trataba de adecuar sus recursos humanos a las nuevas necesidades organizativas de RTVE y minimizar el impacto de la pérdida de puestos de trabajo como consecuencia de la implementación del Expediente.

Published: October 2015

A oxidação lipídica é um dos fatores mais importantes que limitam a vida útil e a estabilidade comercial da carne e produtos cárneos. A oxidação lipídica da carne caprina armazenada sob congelamento, nos tempos de 0, 30, 60 e 120 dias, foi estudada utilizando-se peças do músculo <em>longissimus dorsi</em>, proveniente de animais caprinos, da raça Anglo-Nubiana, machos, não castrados, com idade inferior a oito meses, criados em regime extensivo. Para tanto, realizou-se análise do índice de substâncias reativas ao ácido 2-tiobarbitúrico (TBARS), do índice de peróxido e a análise cromatográfica de fase gasosa. De acordo com os resultados encontrados para o TBARS e o índice de peróxido, as amostras não variaram de forma significativa (p&gt;0,05) em relação ao tempo de estocagem. Destacaram-se como ácidos graxos majoritários, os ácidos palmítico, esteárico e oléico. A temperatura de armazenamento de -18ºC contribuiu para a manutenção da qualidade da carne caprina por, pelo menos, 120 dias.
The Role of High Concentration of Resistin in Endothelial Dysfunction Through Induction of Proinflammatory Cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Chemokin Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1)
Authors: Meiliana Anna , Patellongi Ilhamjaya , Wijaya Andi 
Published: October 2015

BACKGROUND: Many previous studies have reported that central obesity is related to inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. It has also been reported that resistin can induce proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6, which can result in endothelial dysfunction, although the role of resistin in human remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the role of resistin in influencing the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and chemokin MCP-1 in nondiabetic, central obese individuals. Results of this study are hoped to be useful to make a strategy for early prevention of endothelial dysfunction especially in obese individuals.METHOD: This was a cross-sectional study on 73 non diabetic obese male subjects (waist circumferences >90 cm). Resistin, hs-TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1, VCAM-1 were assessed by ELISA. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows v.11.5 with significance p<0.05. The correlations among biomarkers were assessed using Spearman’s Rho test.RESULTS: The study results showed a significant correlation between resistin and TNF-α (r=0.274, p<0.005), and a significant correlation between TNF-α and IL-6 (r=0.430, p<0.001). It was found that high concentration of resistin caused the concentration of TNF-α , IL-6 and MCP-1 to increase, and affected the increase of VCAM-1 (p=0.0030), A significant correlation between waist circumference and inflammation (hsCRP, r=0.296, p<0.005; IL-6, r=0.374, p<0.001 and HOMA IR, r=0.331, p<0.001) was also found.CONCLUSION: This study showed that the role of resistin in endothelial dysfunction occurred at a high concentration of resistin through induction of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and chemokin MCP-1. We suggest that inflammation in obesity starts with a positive feedback loop mechanism between resistin and TNF-α.KEYWORDS: obesity, inflammation, adipocytokines, resistin, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule–1
Determining The Geometrical Parameters Of Exploited Rail Track Using Approximating Spline Functions
Authors: Lenda G. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The process of railway track adjustment is a task which includes bringing, in geometrical terms, the actual track axis to the position ensuring safe and efficient traffic of rail vehicles. The initial calculation stage of this process is to determine approximately the limits of sections of different geometry, i.e. straight lines, arcs and transition curves. This allows to draw up a draft alignment design, which is subject to control the position relative to the current state. In practice, this type of a project rarely meets the requirements associated with the values of corrective alignments. Therefore, it becomes necessary to apply iterated correction of a solution in order to determine the final project, allowing to introduce minor corrections while maintaining the assumed parameters of the route. The degree of complexity of this process is defined by the quality of determining a preliminary draft alignment design. Delimitation of the sections for creation of creating such a design, is usually done by using the curvature diagram (InRail v8.7 Reference Guide [1], Jamka et al [2], Strach [3]), which is, however, sensitive to the misalignment of the track and measurement errors. In their paper Lenda and Strach [4] proposed a new method for creating curvature diagram, based on approximating spline function, theoretically allowing, inter alia, to reduce vulnerability to interference factors. In this study, the method to determine a preliminary draft alignment design for the track with severe overexploitation was used, and thus in the conditions adversely affecting the accuracy of the conducted readings. The results were compared to the ones obtained using classical curvature diagram. The obtained results indicate that the method allows to increase the readability of a curvature graph, which at considerable deregulation of a track takes an irregular shape, difficult to interpret. The method also favourably affects the accuracy of determining the initial parameters of the project, reducing the entire process of calculation.
Application Of Guided Wave Propagation In Diagnostics Of Steel Bridge Components
Authors: Rucka M. , Zima B. , Kędra R. 
Published: October 2015

AbstractEarly detection of potential defects and identification of their location are necessary to ensure safe, reliable and long-term use of engineering structures. Non-destructive diagnostic tests based on guided wave propagation are becoming more popular because of the possibility to inspect large areas during a single measurement with a small number of sensors. The aim of this study is the application of guided wave propagation in non-destructive diagnostics of steel bridges. The paper contains results of numerical analyses for a typical railway bridge. The ability of damage detection using guided Lamb waves was demonstrated on the example of a part of a plate girder as well as a bolted connection. In addition, laboratory tests were performed to investigate the practical application of wave propagation for a steel plate and a prestressed bolted joint.
Role of antioxidant supplementation in preventing noise induced hearing loss
Authors: Fetoni Anna Rita , Eramo Sara Letizia Maria , Paciello Fabiola , Rolesi Rolando , Troiani Diana , Paludetti Gaetano 
Published: October 2015

Objective:
Oxidative stress plays a significant role in noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) as it largely participates in the mechanisms that underlie cell death after noise exposure and leads to sensorineural hearing loss. Many antioxidant drugs have been tested to prevent NIHL.

Study design:
We compared the protective effects of five molecules having antioxidant properties (vitamin E, ferulic acid, active CoQ10, its synthetic analogue – idebenone, and the soluble formulation CoQter) tested in our laboratory. This study has been conducted in a model of acoustic trauma in rats in which the molecules were given intraperitoneally 1 h before and once daily for three days after pure tone noise exposure (10 kHz for 1 h at 100dB SPL).We evaluated their hearing function via electrophysiological measurements at 2, 7 and 21 days and performed morphological studies with scanning electron microscopy and TUNEL assay as a parameter of apoptotic activation.

Results:
All molecules decreased threshold shift, reaching almost a complete recovery starting from day 7 with a further light recovery at day 21. At this time-point all treatments reached almost 80–90% of protection; however, CoQter and vitamin E were the most effective treatments. A decreasing number of TUNEL-positive nuclei for each treatment were observed two days after noise exposure. The cochleogram and morphological observations were consistent with the protective effects measured by ABR, 21 days after trauma.

Conclusion:
These results indicate that the best protection can be achieved by using antioxidant molecules acting against mitochondrial induced oxidative stress, such as vitamin E and CoQter and the degree of protection depends on the pharmacological properties of the molecules.
Utility of tubular retractors to minimize surgical brain injury in the removal of deep intraparenchymal lesions: a quantitative analysis of FLAIR hyperintensity and apparent diffusion coefficient maps
Authors: Bander Evan D. , Jones Samuel H. , Kovanlikaya Ilhami , Schwartz Theodore H. 
Published: October 2015

OBJECT
Brain retraction systems are frequently required to achieve surgical exposure of deep-seated brain lesions. Spatula-based systems can be associated with injury to the cortex and deep white matter, particularly adjacent to the sharp edges, which can result in uneven pressure on the parenchyma over the course of a long operation. The use of tubular retractor systems has been proposed as a method to overcome these limitations. There have been no studies assessing the degree of brain injury associated with the use of tubular retractors.

METHODS
Twenty patients were retrospectively identified at Weill Cornell Medical College who underwent resection of deep-seated brain lesions between 2005 and 2014 with the aid of a METRx tubular retractor system. Using the Brainlab software, pre- and postoperative images were analyzed to assess volume, depth, extent of resection, and change in postoperative MR FLAIR hyperintensity and restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).

RESULTS
The mean preoperative tumor volume was 16.25 ± 17.6 cm3. Gross-total resection was achieved in 75%, near-total resection in 10%, and subtotal resection in 15% of patients. There was a small but not statistically significant increase in average FLAIR hyperintensity volume by 3.25 ± 10.51 cm3 (p = 0.16). The average postoperative volume of DWI high signal area with restricted diffusion on apparent diffusion coefficient maps was 8.35 ± 3.05 cm3. Assuming that the volume of restricted diffusion on DWI around tumor was 0 preoperatively, this represented a statistically significant increase on DWI (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Although tubular retractors do not appear to significantly increase FLAIR signal in the brain, DWI intensity around the retractors can be identified. These data indicate that although tubular retractors may minimize damage to surrounding tissues, they still cause cytotoxic edema and cellular damage. Objective comparison against other retraction methods, as compared by 3D volumetric analysis or similar methods, will be important in determining the true advantage of tubular retractor systems.
Prevalence of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion polymorphism in South Indian population with hypertension and chronic kidney disease
Authors: Shanmuganathan R , Kumaresan R , Giri P 
Published: October 2015

Context:
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of developing further severe complications such as, cardiovascular disease and eventually End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) leading to death. Hypertension plays a key role in the progression of renal failure and is also a chief risk factor for the occurrence of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Aim:
This study investigates the possible association of insertion (I) and deletion (D) polymorphism of ACE gene in patients of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with and without hypertension (HT).

Settings and Design:
Total 120 participants with 30 members in each group (Control, HT, CKD and CKD-HT) were chosen followed by informed consent.

Materials and Methods:
Blood samples were collected and subjected to biochemical analyses and nested PCR amplification was performed to genotype the DNA, for ACE I/D using specific primers.

Statistical Analysis:
Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 13. Allele and genotypic frequency was calculated by direct gene counting method. Comparison of the different genotypes was done by using Chi square test. Odd's ratios were calculated with a 95% confidence interval limit.

Results:
The ACE genotype were distributed as II, 27 (90%); DD, 2 (6.67%) and ID, 1 (3.33%) in control, II, 1 (3.33%); DD, 5 (16.67%) and ID, 24 (80%) in HT, II, 4 (13.33%); DD, 24 (80%) and ID, 2 (6.67%) in CKD and II, 0 (0%); DD, 2 (6.67%) and ID, 28 (93.33%) in CKD-HT group.

Conclusions:
D allele of ACE gene confers a greater role in genetic variations underlying CKD and hypertension. This result suggest that CKD patients should be offered analysis for defects in ACE I/D polymorphisms, especially if they are hypertensive.
Prevalence of autism spectrum disorders among children (1-10 years of age) - Findings of a mid-term report from Northwest India
Authors: Raina SK , Kashyap V , Bhardwaj AK , Kumar D , Chander V 
Published: October 2015

Background:
India is the second most populous country of the world. A large portion of the population of this country is below 20 years of age but still there is a paucity of information about the prevalence and incidence of many developmental disorders. This study was planned to estimate the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in the selected areas (tribal, rural, and urban) of a northern state of India, Himachal Pradesh.

Methods:
A cross-sectional two-phase study was conducted covering all the children in the range of 1-10 years of age. Phase one included screening of all the children in the age group of 1-10 years, with the help of an indigenous assessment tool for autism. The sociodemographic profile of the participants was also recorded during phase one. Phase two involved the clinical evaluation of individuals who were suspected of autism on screening.

Results:
The results show a prevalence rate of 0.9/1000. The highest prevalence rate was observed in the rural area.

Conclusions:
Socioeconomic status (SES) may be one of the fundamental indicators for ASDs in India.
George Morgan and Scott Poynting (eds) Global Islamophobia: Muslims and Moral Panic in the West. London: Ashgate.
Authors: Debney Ben 
Published: October 2015

Previous to 2001, Islam was a mere flicker on the radar of popular xenophobic paranoia. A decade and a half and the world’s first global moral panic later, this situation has changed entirely, apparently by design. As the editors of Global Islamophobia point out, the Terror Scare has elevated Muslims to ‘transnational folk devil,’ foisting the logic of ‘if you think for yourselves the terrorists win’ on the public realm in the name of defending democratic values. The paradoxical character of the generally destructive effects of this Terror Scare on democratic culture remains hard to miss, not least given the rhetoric about western values that tends to accompany much of the debate.Download the PDF file from this page to read Ben Debney's complete review of George Mirgan and Scott Poynting's edited book.
Behind the Scenes of a Priestly Polemic: Leviticus 14 and its Extra-Biblical Parallels
Authors: Feder Yitzhaq 
Published: October 2015

This article examines the relationship between disease, pollution and sin in the Priestly writings, focusing on the rites for the purification of ṣara'at in Leviticus 14. In particular, it evaluates the contested question of whether this text is implicitly polemical in light of extra-biblical texts dealing with similar subject matter, especially a ritual for the treatment of skin disease from Emar. These comparisons enable a more precise characterization of the Priestly agenda reflected in Lev 14 and suggest that the traditional notion of pollution in Israel may have been deliberately reinterpreted.

De koningseed als moreel en realistisch venster op koninkrijksrelaties. Een ministaatsleer van het Euro-Caribische Koninkrijk der Nederlanden
De koningseed is een ministaatsleer van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden als doelgemeenschap van volkeren met elk een eigen nationalisme. De staatkundige vorm van deze volkerengemeenschap is een postkoloniale mengvorm van integratie in het oude moederland en een vrije associatie. Doelen zijn het voor de bevolking waarborgen van (1) externe veiligheid (defensie), (2) een interne democratische rechtsorde, (3)welvaart en (4) internationaal burgerschap. In de steeds weer oplaaiende discussies over onafhankelijkheid zal dan ook gezocht moeten worden naar alternatieve garanties voor de bevolking op alle vier punten.

Erfrecht in de onderwereld (deel 3)
In dit deel 3 van de reeks ‘Erfrecht in de onderwereld’ wordt ingegaan op de gevolgen van criminele elementen in de nalatenschap voor de afwikkeling daarvan. Onder meer wordt het afdragen van het criminele deel van de nalatenschap aan de Staat door de erfgenamen, om een veroordeling wegens witwassen te voorkomen, uitgewerkt. Er wordt een uitstapje gemaakt naar de verhaalsmogelijkheden voor justitie op de nalatenschap als er een criminele erfgenaam in plaats van erflater is.
