Participation, Citizenship, and Pirate Radio as Empowerment: The Case of Radio Dialogue in Zimbabwe

This article critically discusses audience participation and civic engagement in Radio Dialogue as a pirate radio station. As an illegal broadcaster, the station innovatively combines the use of ward committees and digital media technologies such as the Internet and mobile phones to create a participatory culture that is potentially organic, bottom-up, and democratic. While the democratic potential of participation and the digital media in pirate radio are acknowledged, they are seen as very much socially and historically contingent. While participation and the digital media are sometimes erroneously seen as synonymous with deliberative public spheres, I argue that they can also be used to support and legitimize authoritarian cultures that are embedded in the everyday, non-institutionalized forms of power. Participation is not always positive, as it can be top-down, mediated, regulated, and therefore exclusive and undemocratic. It can serve as a regime of endorsement and disapproval for political, economic and cultural power. Digital media can also be reconstructed to support undemocratic cultures that are not only embedded in radio’s organizational and institutional journalistic practices, but also in the power relations concealed by the rituals of how society communicates with itself. These norms ultimately determine whether it is the voices of men, women, youth, the poor, or the elite in the community that find expression through digital media.
Correlation between curve of spee and various dental and skeletal cephalometric parameters. A radiological study

The aim of this study was to correlate Curve of Spee (COS) with various dental and skeletal cephalometric parameters. The study comprised of 110 lateral cephalograms and orthodontic study models. The subjects were divided into 5 groups on the basis of ANB angle and Angle’s molar relation. A statistically significant correlation was found between Angle’s molar relation and COS. A statistically significant linear positive relationship of COS with Jarabak Ratio and L7 to MP distance was seen. The direction of the relationship was negative in relation to L1 to MP angle. It was concluded that depth of COS was greater in Group IIb > Group IIa >GroupIIc >Group I >Group III. COS increases with an increase in Jarabak’s ratio and L7 to MP distance and decreases with increase with L1 to MP angle.
VGLUT2/Cdk5/p25 Signaling Pathway Contributed to Inflammatory Pain by Complete Freund's Adjuvant

Vesicular glutamate transporter type 2 (VGLUT2) is known to play an important role in mediating heat hyperalgesia induced by inflammation. However, the underlying mechanism for this activity is poorly understood. Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), serving as a key regulator in modulating release of glutamate, acted a key player in the formation of heat hyperalgesia of inflammatory pain. However, it remains unknown whether there is a bridge between Cdk5 and VGLUT2 for mediating inflammatory pain. Therefore, we designed the experiment to determine whether VGLUT2 signaling pathway is involved in inflammatory pain mediated by Cdk5 in the inflammatory pain model induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). Our results showed that the coexpression of Cdk5/VGLUT2 in small- and medium-sized neuronal cells of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal cord between days 1 and 3 following subcutaneous injection of CFA was significantly increased. Moreover, our study revealed that the expression of VGLUT2 protein in the DRG and spinal cord was remarkably increased between days 1 and 3 following CFA injection and was significantly reduced by roscovitine, a selective antagonist of Cdk5. Additionally, p25 but not p35, an activator of Cdk5, protein was significantly increased by CFA and reduced by roscovitine. Our findings suggested that VGLUT2/Cdk5 signaling pathway contributes to inflammatory pain mediated by Cdk5/p25.
School-Aged Children Felling Hunger at School Were at a Higher Risk for Thinness in Kersa District, Eastern Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Thinness in school children is a serious health condition with serious consequences for their development, health, and well-being. The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of thinness among school age children in Eastern Ethiopia. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among school age children in Eastern Ethiopia. A child was identified as thin if Body Mass Index for -age Z-score is below minus two standard deviations. Result: Thinness was observed among 206 of 1768 school children [11.6%; 95% CI; CI 10.1- 13.1); about 2% had very low BMI for age. Children in the age group 13-14 years had 1.62 times the risk of thinness compared to children aged 5-9 years (AOR=1.62; 95% CI: 1.06, 2.39). The risk of thinness among children reported felling hunger at school was 1.55 times as high as the risk of thinness compared to children who did not report felling hunger at school (AOR=1.55; 95% CI: 1.07, 2.23). Children from families who did not have latrine had 1.53 times the risk of thinness compared to children from families who had latrine (AOR=1.53; 95% CI: 1.09, 2.13). On the other hand, children born to older mother (age ≥ 35 year) had 30% less risk of being thin compared to children born from younger mothers (AOR 0.70; (95% CI), 0.51-0.98). Conclusion: This study provided evidence that over 10% of school children were under acute nutritional stress in the form of thinness. Thus, integration of nutrition interventions into a comprehensive school health program including free school meals can potentially benefit those children.
University of Groningen Intake of n-3 fatty acids and long-term outcome in renal transplant recipients

Supplementation with n-3 fatty acids may improve long-term outcomes of renal transplant recipients (RTR). Recent evidence suggests that EPA and DHA have different outcomes compared with α-linolenic acid (ALA). We examined the prospective associations of EPA–DHA and ALA intakes with graft failure and all-cause mortality in 637 RTR. During 3·1 years (interquartile range 2·7, 3·8) of follow-up, forty-one developed graft failure and sixty-seven died. In ageand sex-adjusted analyses, EPA–DHA and ALA intakes were not associated with graft failure. EPA–DHA intake was not significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio (HR) 0·79; 95% CI 0·54, 1·15 per 0·1 energy% difference). ALA intake was significantly associated with mortality (HR 1·17; 95% CI 1·04, 1·31 per 0·1 energy% difference). This association remained following adjustments for BMI, proteinuria and intakes of fat, carbohydrate and protein. RTR in the highest tertile of ALA intake exhibited about 2-fold higher mortality risk (HR 2·21; 95% CI 1·23, 3·97) compared with the lowest tertile. In conclusion, ALA intake may be associated with increased mortality in RTR. Future RCT are needed to confirm these results.
Smoking Impact on Clinical Outcomes of Early Loaded Direct Laser Metal Sintering Implants in Posterior Maxilla

Problem statement: The cumulative negative synergistic effect resulted from the association between smoking impact and poor bone quality presented in posterior maxilla has introduced a serious motivation of authors toward using an innovative Direct Laser Metal Sintering technology applied in implant production to improve implant success rate in such troublesome condition. So, this study was directed to evaluate the impact of smoking on clinical outcomes of early loaded DLMS implants used in posterior maxilla. Patients and Methods: Twenty patients including six non-smokers within group (A) and 14 smoking patients were involved in this study representing three separate groups. All the other fourteen patients were subdivided into two equal separate harmoniously distributed groups (B&C); either mild (119 pack-years) or moderate smoking (20-39 pack-years) according to the heaviness of smoking rate. All patients within this study received DLMS dental implant installed in the posterior maxillary region and were subjected to early loading modality within 6-8 weeks. All patients were evaluated clinically at regular time intervals either immediately, at 6 and 12 months postoperatively regarding to implant stability, periodontal probing depth, Modified sulcus bleeding Index (mSBI) and marginal bone loss (MBL). Results: Comparing all groups, no statistical significant differences were recorded immediately after placement of final crown (P=0.366-0.104) while, a statistical significant differences were recorded between all groups after 6 and 12 months (P= 0.033-0.001) regarding to implant stability and peri-implant pocket depth. Regarding to (mSBI) a statistical significant differences were recorded between all group at the time of initial loading, 6 and 12 month (P=0.021-0.043-0.023) respectively. Only within group (C), a marked statistical significant differences were recorded during comparing subsequent time intervals of follow up against each other (P=0.0004-0.0002-0.005) respectively. Conclusion: Although, the reversible smoking impact was represented as a relative contraindicating condition of implant surgery, the emergence of DLMS implants has introduced an additional positive prognostic effect on implant success especially, in compromised situations such as poor bone quality and variable loading time protocols.

Ratcheting up Rigor in Wildlife Management Decision Making

The wildlife management institution has been transforming to ensure relevance and positive conservation outcomes into the future. Continuous improvement of decision making is one aspect of this transformation. Managers and policy makers with responsibility for wildlife decisions have an exceedingly challenging job because the set of objectives they wish to achieve is so complex, multifaceted, and often contentious. Many wildlife management agencies desire decision‐making processes that are transparent, replicable, engage partners, and communicate effectively with the public. Using a decision science approach offers a framework to allow agencies to achieve these objectives so the decision‐making process is consistent with their desires. One can point to many excellent examples of formal decision science applications by state and federal agencies in the United States, but many obstacles hinder systematic approaches to decision making. We describe our observations—based on first‐hand experiences—with decision making in wildlife management, present reasons why making decisions is difficult, identify challenges faced by wildlife managers at various levels of governance, and address measures wildlife managers can employ to help overcome these challenges. We acknowledge that no panacea, simple recipe, or one‐size‐fits‐all prescription exists for wildlife management decision making. Nevertheless, we hope that by a) describing how a systematic decision science framework can help agencies achieve their objectives, while simultaneously benefiting stakeholders, managers, and conservation outcomes, and b) providing specific suggestions for overcoming challenges associated with decision making, we will help agencies in the midst of their challenges to improve decision‐making processes consistent with their objectives. © 2020 The Authors.Wildlife Society Bulletin published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of The Wildlife Society.
Body image satisfaction, weight perception and knowledge of obesity among adolescents in Kaski district, Nepal -

Objectives: Body image dissatisfaction and incorrect body weight perception are raising problems among the adolescents worldwide. They are at increasing level in developing countries undergoing economic and nutritional transition like Nepal. To find out the body image satisfaction, body weight perception and knowledge of obesity among adolescents in Kaski district, Nepal. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 838 adolescents in Kaski district, Nepal from 12 schools selected randomly using multistage cluster sampling. Data collection was done in between October to December, 2013 by using anthropometric assessment and self-administered questionnaire through use of pretested tools. Data was entered and analyzed using WHO anthroplus software v.1. 0.4 and SPSS v. 16. Results: Majority of the adolescents, 630(75.2%) were found satisfied with their body image and 208(24.8) weren’t. The body image satisfaction rate was comparatively found higher among adolescents with normal BMI for age, 509(79.3%) and the underweight, 86(67.2%). More than half of the overweight adolescents, 27(55.1%) perceived themselves as normal, 19(38.8%) perceived as overweight and 3(6.1%) perceived as obese. Majority of the adolescents had right knowledge on obesity however no significant association was found. Conclusion: Body image satisfaction among the adolescents was found high. Overweight and obese were found likely to underestimate their body weight. Interventions focusing on behavioral modifications and regular anthropometric assessment are essential.
Assessing the Effect of the Consumer-Voter Sentiment on Fiscally Induced Migration: The EU 27 Case

The paper revisits the determinants of intra European migration using a conditional logit model for the period 2000-2010. With all moving restrictions lifted, a substantial Union enlargement in 2004, and a severe economic crisis in progress, new evidence is being revealed regarding the decision making process of individuals who choose to relocate. We examine Tiebout’s proposition of voting with one’s feet in the context of the Union and we show that fiscal policies in the form of fiscal packages offered to a country’s residents as well as consumer confidence indicators play a decisive role in affecting that process. With 26 alternative destinations over a period of 11 years we find that people will choose to move to a country that offers them a better fiscal surplus, higher confidence as economic agents, and higher potential earnings. In light of our results, and after establishing the migration patterns, we believe that a new discussion should open regarding efficiency concerns and government policy implications.

An energy economical resolution for giant computation using EAAS cloud

— In spite of the dramatic growth inside the variability of excellent phones in recent years, the challenge of restricted energy capability of these devices has not been resolved satisfactorily. However, inside the age of cloud computing, the limitation on energy capability is mitigated off in a cheap manner by offloading vital tasks to the cloud. It is a necessity permanently phone and cloud computing developers to possess insights into the energy worth of excellent phone applications before implementing the offloading techniques. In this paper, we tend to tend to live the energy worth of transmission applications on sensible phones that square measure connected to Energy as a Service Cloud (EaaSC). We have conducted Associate in nursing comprehensive set of experiments to measure the energy costs to analysis whether or not or not or not sensible phones save energy by victimization EaaSC services. Specifically, we tend to tend to perform all the massive or vital computations on cloud rather than on sensible phone. Energy consumption comparison was performed by victimization protocol and FTP web protocols with 3G and Wi-Fi network interfaces. All the experiments were conducted on Associate in nursing automaton based totally HTC Nexus One sensible phone. Our results show that EaaSC provides the sensible, great & nice phones with easy transmission usefulness and saves good phone energy up to 60% to 70%. All huge computations square measure performed in EaaS Cloud therefore sensible phones needn’t need to be compelled to try and do the computation regionally. By that it scales back the battery drain of excellent phone.
Fièvre d'origine indéterminée dans un collectif de patients HIV positifs.

: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of fever of unknown origin (FUO) in a cohort of HIV positive patients and to describe their evolution and the final diagnosis. The clinical records of 412 patients followed from January 1987 to December 1990 at our HIV outpatient clinic were reviewed: in 151 patients 255 episodes of fever had been observed of which 22 (in 21 patients) met the criteria for FUO. 19 patients (90%) presented with a CDC/WHO stage IV HIV infection and the mean CD4+ lymphocyte count was 0.160 G/l. The etiology was ultimately determined in 13/22 episodes (3 Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, 3 invasive infections due to atypical mycobacteria, 2 bacterial pneumonia, 1 Cytomegalovirus colitis, 1 Isospora belli enteritis, 1 visceral leishmania, 1 candida septicemia and 1 lymphoma). In 6/22 episodes, the fever subsided after zidovudine was started and was therefore attributed to HIV itself. In 3/22 episodes no etiology was found. In conclusion, this series shows that FUO is usually seen in advanced HIV infection and that it often represents an early sign of opportunistic infection. This observation underlines the importance of follow-up, since it finally served to detect the etiology of FUO in 86% of cases. Trial treatment with zidovudine can be useful where no pathology has been discovered despite 3 weeks' follow-up and appropriate investigations.
ORAL HEALTH COORDINATORS: PERCEPTION ON MANAGEMENT AND SKILLS IN THE SINGLE HEALTH SYSTEM

Objective: To analyze the perceptions of oral health coordinators about management and competencies in the Unified Health System. Methods: Qualitative study conducted in six Regional Executive Offices of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Data collection took place in March 2019, through semi-structured interviews with six dental surgeons who are in charge of the oral health coordinations of the referred organs. The interviews were analyzed through content analysis, emerging the following categories: competencies of an oral health coordinator; training course for the position of the manager; the contribution of academic formation to the position of the manager; challenges in the work process; satisfaction to be in the position of manager. Results: The main activities developed by oral health coordinators are: human resources coordination; management of dental materials, supplies and equipment; consolidation of procedures; planning of care goals and promotion and prevention in oral health; production and monitoring of indicators; and preparation of technical reports. According to the participants, the position of manager requires training in public health management, involvement, and commitment in the execution of processes, and is essential for oral health management. Conclusion: Oral health coordinators consider public health management important, despite obstacles in daily work, such as insufficient inputs and underfunding of the sector, and the need for qualification to assume the position of oral health manager to enhance attention to health promotion, promoting actions for the promotion, prevention, and recovery of the user’s health.

Prospective mathematics teachers’ critical thinking processes about scientific research: Newspaper article example

This study aimed to explore how prospective middle school mathematics teachers think critically about a newspaper article that reported the findings of a statistical research. Participants of the study were four fourth-year students enrolled at the mathematics teacher education program of a public university. To investigate the research question of the study, case study method was employed. In-depth semi-structured interviews were done to examine participants’ critical thinking processes. The findings of the study indicated that prospective mathematics teachers made use of a variety of critical thinking processes (comprehending, making connections, inferring ideas, critiquing, and self-reflecting) and provided clues about the interrelated nature of these processes. This study would shed light on the characterization of critical thinking in the context of statistical literacy by suggesting a blended framework. It also suggests the design of the tasks including media articles to promote both statistical literacy and critical thinking in statistics education courses for prospective mathematics teachers.

Relationship of Emotional Maturity and Couples Adjustment on the Aircraft Crew

This research is purposed to examine between emotional maturity and couples-social adjustment on commercial aircraft crew (pilots and flight attendants) with their partners. This research involved 90 respondents (45 couples) with ages ranging from 18 to 62 years old. We use a quantitative method with 100 participants and in this paper, we found 10 same couples working far apart from their partners. Data collection using emotional maturity scale and couples social adjustment scale. The results of the study showed that emotional maturity and couples social adjustment had a very significant positive relationship (Pearson correlation value was .319 with a significance value of .002 (p <.01)). Implications for working time arrangements for pilots and flight attendants are discussed.
Polyvinyl alcohol films with different degrees of hydrolysis and polymerization

The objective of this work was to manufacture biodegradable films based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and also to evaluate the effect of the different degrees of hydrolysis (DH) and degrees of polymerization (DP) of PVA on the properties of these films. Four different types of PVA with DH ranging from 88.0 to 98.4% and DP ranging from 150 to 2000 were used to produce the films by casting, and glycerol was used as plasticizer. Films based on PVA with lower DH (SelvolTM 540 and 203) showed higher solubility, water vapor permeability and water sorption capacity, and also were less rigid, and had lower glass transition and melting temperatures when compared to films obtained from higher DH PVA (SelvolTM 325 and 107). The DP affected the solubility of the films, the film produced with the higher DP (SelvolTM 325 - DP = 1000? 1500) showed lower solubility value. Films based on PVA with higher DP (SelvolTM 540 and 325) showed higher elongation values. Both DH and DP affected PVA films properties, resulting in materials with different possibilities of applications, however, it was observed that however the effect of DH was most important for PVA films properties than DP effect.
