<em>On August 24, 2016, at 01:36 UTC a M<sub>W </sub>6.0 earthquake struck an extensive area of the Central Apennines (Italy). It was followed by a large aftershock (M<sub>W </sub>5.3, August 24, 02:33 UTC) and about 20 earthquakes with magnitude greater than 4.0, located between the towns of Norcia and Amatrice. Due to the mainshock magnitude and the widespread damaging level of buildings in the epicentral area, the Emersito task force has been mobilized by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). The aim of Emersito is to carry out and coordinate the monitoring of local site effects, caused by geological and geomorphological settings. During the first days of the seismic emergency, Emersito installed a temporary seismic network for site effect studies at 4 municipalities close to the epicentral area (Amandola, Civitella del Tronto, Montereale and Capitignano), using 22 stations equipped with both velocimetric and accelerometric sensors. The selection of the sites where stations have been installed was mainly driven by the proximity to the epicentral area (without interfere with the rescue operation) and by peculiar geologic and geomorphologic settings (topographic irregularities, fault zones, alluvial plains).</em>

Abstract Objective To analyze the long-term effects of antineoplastic treatments on patient fertility. Selection of Studies The studies were selected through the New PubMed, Scielo and Lilacs databases along with references used for the creation of the present work. For the selection of studies, articles published between the periods from January 1, 2015 to April 6, 2020 in the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages were used. As inclusion criteria: cohort studies and studies conducted in vitro. As exclusion criteria: review articles, reported cases, studies that do not address thematic reproduction, studies that do not address the cancer theme, articles that used animals, articles that address the preservation of fertility and articles in duplicate in the bases. Data Collection The collected data included: age of the patient at the beginning of treatment, type of neoplasm, type of antineoplastic treatment, chemotherapy used, radiotherapy dosage, radiotherapy site, effect of antineoplastic agents on fertility and number of patients in the study. Data Synthesis Thirty studies were evaluated, antineoplastic chemotherapy agents and radiotherapy modulate serum hormone levels, reduces germ cell quantities and correlated with an increase in sterility rates. The effects mentioned occur in patients in the prepubertal and postpubertal age. Conclusion Antineoplastic treatments have cytotoxic effects on the germ cells leading to hormonal modulation, and pubertal status does not interfere with the cytotoxic action of therapies.

Abstract Dementia with Parkinson's disease represents a controversial issue in the complex group of alpha-synucleinopathies. The author acknowledges the concept of a "continuum" between Parkinson disease's (PD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), and dementia in Parkinson's disease (PDD). However, the practicing neurologist needs to identify the phenotypic signs of each dementia. The treatment and prognosis are different in spite of the overlaps between them. The main aim of this review was to characterize the clinical diagnoses of dementia associated with Parkinson's disease (PDD). Secondarily, the review discussed some epidemiological and neuropsychological issues. Selection of articles was not systematic and reflects the author's opinion, where the main text selected was the recommendations from the Movement Disorder Society Task Force for PDD diagnosis. The Pub Med, OVID, and Proquest data bases were used for the search.

New Damietta City is situated in a locale of moderate notable seismicity about M6.25 have happened. These dangerous tremors started from the Mediterranean subduction zone among African and Eurasian plates and is underlain by soaked late Holocene stores. In this examination, the city of New Damietta was assessed regarding site intensification and site period. Geographical and geotechnical examination including information base of 543 boreholes were gathered from past geotechnical reports and corroborative exhausting logs were executed by the Lodging and Building national Exploration focus. These information were incorporated to decide the variety of the dirt profile and in addition the qualities of the dirt layers inside the investigation site. One dimensional ground response close examination using corresponding straight system and nonlinear procedure have been done. Nonlinear examinations' results were differentiated and those of the indistinguishable direct method, and both of the similarities and differences are discussed. It is assumed that because of nonlinearity of soil under strong ground developments, 1-D parallel direct showing overestimates the strengthening structures the extent that add up to upgrade level, and can't viably speak to full frequencies and hysteric soil lead. Along these lines, more reasonable and suitable numerical strategies for ground reaction examination ought to be reviewed

Ratchet effect defined as form of budget setter’s behavioral bias in budget setting or budget planning process. Ratchet effect occurs when budget setter use prior period performance as basis to determine the upcoming budget as a consequences of the dynamic incentives problems in agency relation context. Lee and Plummer (2007) documented ratchet effect in public sector budgeting on performance based budgeting implementation. This study aims to find whether ratchet effecct occur in public sector budgeting, especially in Indonesian local government budgeting.This study use Local Government Task Force (SKPD) of Yogyakarta Special Region Province Government as research object for research period between 2012 to 2015. Selection of sample derived using purposive sampling to 31 SKPD and generates 17 sample which has Region Original Revenue (PAD) component and so 28 sample which has Direct Expenditure component in each of it’s budget structure. Total observed object used to examine ratchet effect in PAD budgeting is 68 observation and so forth 112 observation used to examine ratchet effect in Direct Expenditure budgeting. Multiple Linear Regresion used to test the hypotheses. The result shows that ratchet effect occurs in both PAD and Direct Expenditure budgeting, so all research hypotheses statistically accepted. This research generate evidence the occurence of ratchet effect in local government budgeting.
