Rotator cuff syndrome in truck assembly line workers

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objectives To identify biomechanical risk factors for rotator cuff syndrome (RCS) and analyze factors associated with cases found among truck assembly workers. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in an automaker of trucks in the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo in 2013. Ergonomics evaluation of workstations was performed using OWAS. Among 79 workers who participated in the study, RCS cases were those who reported pain complaints in the shoulders during the past week and whose RCS´s specific physical evaluation was positive. Results Nine of the 12 workstations analyzed require biomechanics of the upper limbs with lifting above shoulder level. The ergonomic tool indicates the need for immediate corrective action in five workstations. The profile of the participants was as follows: male, mean age of 35 years, average working time in the company of 7.83 years. RCS was found in 17.7% of the participants. The outcome was associated with age and working time in the company. Conclusion Workers who perform this activity can develop RCS. Older employees and those who have worked longer in the company are the groups that should be evaluated more frequently so that early diagnosis can be achieved.
The viscous optimal shape design, via spectral solutions

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The shape of a flying configuration is globally optimized if its camber, twist, thickness and the similarity parameters of its planform are determined in order to obtain a minimum drag at cruising Mach number. The optimum–optimorum (OO) theory of the author solves this problem by using a lower limit hyper-surface for the drag functional. A multipoint design is realized by using movable leading edge flaps. The iterative OO theory is used for the computation of the friction drag, for the determination of the viscosity effect in the optimal shape of the flying configuration and to perform the multidisciplinary design by including structure and thermal auxiliary conditions. A proposal of a fully-optimized shape of supersonic transport aircraft with twin integrated fuselages is also made. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Self-Consciousness and Reductive Functionalism

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

It is argued that although George Bealer's influential ‘Self-Consciousness argument’ refutes standard versions of reductive functionalism (RF), it fails to generalize in the way Bealer supposes. To wit, he presupposes that any version of RF must take the content of ‘pain’ to be the property of being in pain (and so on), which is expressly rejected in independently motivated versions of conceptual role semantics (CRS). Accordingly, there are independently motivated versions of RF, incorporating CRS, which avoid Bealer's main type of refutation. I focus particularly on one such theory, which takes concepts to be event types that are individuated by their psychological roles, which has the resources of responding to each of the more specific worries Bealer expresses.
Ed Barrow: the bulldog who built the Yankees' first dynasty

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Before the feuding owners turned to Ed Barrow to be general manager in 1920, the Yankees had never won a pennant. They won their first in 1921 and during Barrow s tenure went on to win thirteen more as well as ten World Series. This biography of the incomparable Barrow is also the story of how he built the most successful sports franchise in American history.Barrow spent fifty years in baseball. He was in the middle of virtually every major conflict and held practically every job except player. Daniel R. Levitt describes Barrow's pre-Yankees years, when he managed Babe Ruth and the Boston Red Sox to their last World Series Championship before the curse. He then details how Barrow assembled a winning Yankees team both by purchasing players outright and by developing talent through a farm system.The story of the making of the great Yankees dynasty reveals Barrow s genius for organizing, for recognizing baseball talent, and for exploiting the existing economic environment. Because Barrow was a player in so many of baseball s key events, his biography gives a clear and eye-opening picture of how America s sport was played in the twentieth century, on the field and off. A complex portrait of a larger-than-life character in the annals of baseball, this book is also an inside history of how the sport s competitive environment evolved and how the Yankees came to dominate it.
Strategies for Developing High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete with High Early-Age Strength for Precast Applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Partial replacement of portland cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as fly ash, is an effective strategy for improving durability and reducing the CO2 footprint of concrete. However, using high-volume fly ash (HVFA) binders in precast and prestressed concrete is currently limited; largely due to reduced early-age strength development that impedes rapid production and prestressing of precast concrete. To investigate and address this challenge, HVFA mortars with a minimum of 40% fly ash by mass of cementitious materials were developed and tested in this study. Two fresh fly ashes (an ASTM C618 Class F and a Class C) and a landfilled fly ash (Class F) were included. Various strategies for improving the early strength were evaluated, including gypsum optimization, chemical accelerators, steam curing, use of CSA cements, and adding other reactive SCMs like silica fume, calcined clay, and slag cement. Steam curing and the use of CSA cement at high dosages (40% of total binder) were found to be the most successful strategies across all three fly ashes. Additionally, significant improvements were observed with gypsum optimization (for Class C fly ash) and the use of accelerators (for Class F fly ashes), and these strategies are likely to be more feasible considering later-age strength and economic viability. Interestingly, HVFA mixtures made with the landfilled fly ash used in this study were able to achieve high early strengths with water-to-cementitious materials ratio adjustment alone. As a result, these HVFA mixtures were also found to be less responsive to accelerators when compared to the fresh Class F fly ash, highlighting an important distinction between the materials despite the similarity in chemical composition.
Abstract 471: Impact of Enrichment Strategies for Future Clinical Trials Assessing PCSK-9 Inhibitors Efficacy in Primary Prevention Settings

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: To date multiple ongoing clinical trials are testing impact of human monoclonal antibody against proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) in high risk patients with established CVD already on statins. It is of interest to explore the added value of these therapies in individuals free of established CVD. The aim of this study is to assess the implications of population baseline risk considered for clinical trials, in evaluating impact of PCSK9 inhibitors in primary prevention settings. Methods: We simulated scenarios among primary prevention cohorts recruited with 5 year CVD event rates ranging from 5-25%. In the control group, 30% relative risk reduction (RRR) with highest tolerated statin dose was considered. The NNT and drug cost with additional PSCK9 inhibitor therapy to prevent one cardiac event were calculated across varying (20-40%) RRR thresholds. The annual cost of PCSK9 inhibitors was estimated in range of $3000-$7,000. We considered ≤ $0.5 million as upper limit for willingness to pay to prevent 1 event in 5 years. Results: The table highlights: a) absolute event rates anticipated in the controls as well with additional PCSK9 inhibition; b) the calculated NNT; and c) costs to prevent one cardiac event across the spectrum of baseline CVD risk levels. Among those with estimated 5 year absolute risk of 10%, the threshold for willingness to pay was achieved provided PCSK9 inhibition achieved 40% RRR with annual cost of $3000. Among individuals with >20% absolute 5 year baseline risk, the threshold for willingness to pay was realized even with 20% RRR in all scenarios if annual cost was limited to $3000. Conclusion: Future discussion for clinical trials assessing efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors in reducing CVD events in primary prevention settings must focus on enrichment strategies for recruiting a ‘high risk’ population. These strategies will likely facilitate acceptable NNT and public willingness to pay for these emerging novel therapies.
Statistical evaluation of geotechnical laboratory round robin tests in Hungary

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

In year 2005 sixty-six laboratories took part in the round robin test, almost all the laboratories working in the country. Laboratories has analysed the required parameters of artificially produced (or eventually natural) soil samples. The main goal is to get answers to this questions: what is the degree of homogeneity of the physical charactheristics of samples, and the possibly existing significant differences between laboratories participating in the round robin test. In the paper there is a summary of results of the most common geotechnical laboratory tests: grain size distribution, plastic limit, liquid limit, plasticity index and Proctor compaction tests. The evaluation of the measurements calculated by variance analysis, but used some approximative processes too.
Capillary electrophoresis of small molecules in high-viscosity polymer solutions.

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Capillary electrophoretic separations of small molecules were examined using highly viscous polymer solutions. The solutions of linear polyacrylamide of >7% (T), and methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose of >10mg/ml, are of jelly-like consistency. Used in capillary electrophoresis, they resulted in improved separation of the dansyl derivatives of branched-chain amino acids which differ only by 12 methylene units in the side chain. With a linear polyacrylamide column, a remarkable change in elution time with variation in the polymer concentration was observed for a certain aromatic compound. Chromatographic separation mechanisms of some kind are responsible for the observed behavior.
Purification of MBP fusion proteins using engineered DARPin affinity matrix.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Maltose binding protein (MBP) has a long history as an expression tag for the production of recombinant fusion proteins. The ability of MBP to increase the solubility of fusion proteins makes it a preferred option for the expression of recombinant proteins that are unable to fold properly or that tend to form aggregates. A critical step for obtaining a sufficient amount of the MBP fusion protein is the purification. Commercially available affinity chromatography for the purification of MBP fusion proteins using amylose matrix has two main issues: (i) low (micromolar) affinity and (ii) limited number of uses due to the cleavage of polysaccharide matrix by the amylases present in the crude cell extract. To avoid this problem, we developed an affinity chromatography based on the protein-protein interaction. We use an evolved Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein off7 (DARPin off7), which interacts with MBP with almost 1000 times higher affinity than amylose. The functionality of such affinity chromatography was tested with the purification of MBP-tagged green fluorescent protein (GFP) and flavodoxin (FLD). The optimized affinity chromatography based on the MBP-DARPin off7 interaction enables the purification of the fusion proteins in a single-step procedure. This affinity column - easy to construct, resistant to amylase and reproducible for numerous purification cycles - provides an alternative approach to commercially available affinity chromatographies for purification of proteins containing the MBP tag.

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The light curves for three eclipsing binaries in the Magellanic Clouds have been obtained using CCD uV J I C photometry. One target in the LMC, MACHO*05:36:48.7−69:17:00, is an eccentric system, e = 0.20, with a period of 3.853534 ± 0.000005 d. Initial solutions indicate a primary component in the range T eff,1 = 20,000−35,000K and the secondary T eff,2 1000−2000K cooler than the primary, with inclinations ranging i = 84.2° − 86.0°. Two targets in the SMC, MOA J005018.4-723855 and MOA J005623.5−722123, have periods of 1.8399±0.0004 and 2.3199 ± 0.0003 days respectively. Both have circular orbits with the former being a semi-detached system.
Crossmodal Audio and Tactile Interaction with Mobile Touchscreens

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This article asserts that using crossmodal auditory and tactile interaction can aid mobile touchscreen users in accessing data non-visually and, by providing a choice of modalities, can help to overcome problems that occur in different mobile situations where one modality may be less suitable than another (Hoggan, 2010). By encoding data using the crossmodal parameters of audio and vibration, users can learn mappings and translate information between both modalities. In this regard, data may be presented to the most appropriate modality given the situation and surrounding environment.
Levothyroxine supplementation among individuals with Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Depression | a review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Depression is known to be associated with changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and the brain is a major target organ for thyroid hormone. Overt hypothyroidism can cause symptoms compatible with depression. However, its relationship with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is not well established. Objectives To review the literature regarding the effect of levothyroxine therapy among patients with SCH and coexistent depression. Methods We conducted a MEDLINE search using depression, subclinical hypothyroidism and levothyroxine as keywords, selecting studies written in English. Results SCH is defined as an elevated thyroid stimulating hormone with normal peripheric hormone levels. The association between SCH and depression is controversial. Some studies indicate that SCH had the same propensity with overt hypothyroidism, while others report that major affective symptoms are not associated with SCH, but are likely due to independent psychiatric diagnoses, which are common in the general population and occur with similar frequency in patients with SCH. Individuals with SCH are recommended to initiate levothyroxine replacement therapy only when their TSH level is above 10 mIU/L or if symptoms are present. There is a lack of evidence supporting the use of levothyroxine therapy to improve mental health outcomes and the majority of meta-analysis do not show relief of affective symptoms after levothyroxine therapy, among individuals with SCH. Conclusions Routine screening for depressive symptoms among individuals with SCH is important to prevent morbidity. Nevertheless, there is no evidence enduring levothyroxine supplementation in these cases. Further studies, with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are needed to enlighten the potential benefit of this therapy. Disclosure No significant relationships.
Bioluminescent method to determine non‐specific endotoxicosis in therapy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The possibility of using a bioluminescence method for measuring endotoxicosis during therapy has been investigated. Results of our experiments shown that a bioluminescence method can be used as a reliable criterion to monitor the course of disease for patients with bronchitis, ulcerous disease or chronic colecystitis. Assays using both soluble and immobilized reagents are possible. This method does not reveal differences in patients with sepsis, hepatocirrhosis or oncology. The methods are highly sensitive, rapid and simple and allow quatitative determination of the degree of seriousness of illness and estimation of the severity of a patient's condition. At present the test is used to find substances responsible for the toxic state. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
FDI in India: Prospects for Japan

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

India has already marked its presence as one of the fastest growing economies of the world. It has been ranked among the top 3 attractive destinations for inbound investments. Since 1991, the regulatory environment in terms of foreign investment has been consistently eased to make it investor-friendly. After formation of new government in May 2014 at Centre, Indian prime minister visited Japan to boost business and political ties. Japanese companies’ investments have flowed into manufacturing sector of India and are expected to rise. The Government of India (GOI) recently launched a major new national program ?Make in India? designed to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property and build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure. The cumulative Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows (including equity, re-invested earnings & other capital) in India from Japan from April 2000 to February 2014 are US$ 321.81 billion which ranked Japan 4th largest investor in India. Further, it is found that sectors attracted maximum FDI equity inflows from Japan from April 2000 to February 2014 are drugs & pharmaceutical, automobile industry, services sector, metallurgical industries and electrical equipment. This study aims to highlight Japan-specific investment opportunities in India against the backdrop of Japanese investors’ concerns regarding FDI in India.
ASTUDY ON “KAKOCHO”, BURIAL LIST OF BUDDHIST TEMPLE, AS A KEY DOCUMENT OF THE DISASTERS IN THE LATE EDO ERA

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Japanese houses were built mostly of wood before the Meiji Restoration. Therefore, Edo city were suffered from many disasters caused by earthquakes, floods, and fires. Especially the downtown of Edo were severely damaged. Historical documents of those disasters almost disappeared today. “Kakocho, ” burial list of Buddhist temple, kept by some Buddhist temples of the downtown are one of the few available documentt.The writer shows some information of various disasters through the number of killed men on the lists of temples located between River Sumida and River Edo in the late Edo era.The investigation is summerized as follows:(1), In the chronological change of the number of the death the maximum was showed in the famine of 1837 and the plague of 1862(2), The wellknown earthquake in 1855 and the flood tide in 1856 killed a great number of men in one day. But the disasters did not so much infuluence the annual total of the death.(3), The famine in 1837 strongly influenced the number of the death with some different features from the rural district.(4), Some stories written at that time about prevarence of the plagues did not always tell the truth. Because, the writer finds out the difference between the number of the death on the lists and the stories.
Development of a Pseudo Non-LTE model for Z-pinch simulations

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Predicting the energetic and spectral characteristics of Z-pinch sources is a very delicate task. Z-pinch plasmas conditions are spread across a wide range of parameter space and often far from Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE). In addition, the increasing optical depth of the plasma at stagnation can have a strong influence on its own dynamics, suggesting that simultaneous solution of both the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and radiative response is required. Unfortunately, the estimation of the frequency and time dependent radiative properties of Z-pinches is computationally challenging and the recent improvements made to the parallel architecture of the 3D resistive Eulerian MHD code GORGON have only reinforced the strong emphasis already placed on optimizing the physics solvers used in Z-pinch simulations. To address these issues, we have developed a simple and fast pseudo NLTE code based on a Screened Hydrogenic Model (SHM) that can be run in-line with GORGON or as a post processing tool with synthetic spectra capabilities. Making use of a computationally inexpensive modification of the Saha equation, this highly optimized code has demonstrated a good ability to represent Non-LTE plasma conditions. In order to handle the amount of data generated by the spectral treatment of the billions of numerical cells constituting the simulation grids, an original data structure derived from a self-balancing binary search tree has been developed, enabling the use of Non-LTE DCA calculations in a large scale three dimensional environment for the first time. The implementation of this model is described in detail and comparisons with a commercial package are offered. Results from Z-pinch simulations performed with the new code are discussed and possible future improvements are presented.
Badania nad patogenicznością grzyba Rhizoctonia solani Kühn na lnie [Investigations of Rhizoctonia solani Kühn pathogenicity to flax]

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The investigations on the pathogenicity of four <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> isolates were carried out in relation to three varieties of flax; LCSD - 210, LCSD - 200 and Wiera. Variety LCSD - 210 was found to be the most resistant. Isolates obtaind from flax and potatoes were especially pathogenic. <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> was parasitic during the whole vegetation season, but particularly in the course of emergence. Parasitism of this fungus is of great economical significance.
