Predicting On-Road Driving Skills, Fitness to Drive, and Prospective Accident Risk in Older Drivers and Drivers with Mild Cognitive Impairment: The Importance of Non-Cognitive Risk Factors
Authors: Toepper Max , Schulz Philipp , Beblo Thomas , Driessen Martin
Published: December 2020

Background: On-road driving behavior can be impaired in older drivers and particularly in drivers with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Objective: To determine whether cognitive and non-cognitive risk factors for driving safety may allow an accurate and economic prediction of on-road driving skills, fitness to drive, and prospective accident risk in healthy older drivers and drivers with MCI, we examined a representative combined sample of older drivers with and without MCI (N = 74) in an observational on-road study. In particular, we examined whether non-cognitive risk factors improve predictive accuracy provided by cognitive factors alone. Methods: Multiple and logistic hierarchical regression analyses were utilized to predict different driving outcomes. In all regression models, we included cognitive predictors alone in a first step and added non-cognitive predictors in a second step. Results: Results revealed that the combination of cognitive and non-cognitive risk factors significantly predicted driving skills (R2adjusted = 0.30) and fitness to drive (81.2% accuracy) as well as the number (R2adjusted = 0.21) and occurrence (88.3% accuracy) of prospective minor at-fault accidents within the next 12 months. In all analyses, the inclusion of non-cognitive risk factors led to a significant increase of explained variance in the different outcome variables. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a combination of the most robust cognitive and non-cognitive risk factors may allow an economic and accurate prediction of on-road driving performance and prospective accident risk in healthy older drivers and drivers with MCI. Therefore, non-cognitive risk factors appear to play an important role.

Published: December 2020

The potential ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic global shut down on physical education providers and youth sport coaches may be particularly severe due to substantial cutbacks on many of their normal activities. This population faces unique challenges in engaging in “virtual learning” given the physical nature of their job, potentially leading to sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, and the development of depressive mood disorders. This commentary aims to explore options to mitigate worsening of stress, depression, physical inactivity, and social disconnection in youth sport coaches following the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and to call attention to this vulnerable demographic which has been substantially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: In developing countries, construction is a largely manual job that imposes awkward postures on workers, thus facilitating a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Ergonomic training is known as an effective way to reduce these disorders. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ergonomic training intervention in reducing the ergonomic risk of concrete form workers. METHODS: This quasi-experimental study was carried out on 144 concrete form workers employed in the construction projects of Gonbad-e Kāvus, Iran, Iran. Data was collected using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (at the pre-intervention stage) and the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) worksheet (at the pre- and post-intervention stages). Ergonomic training was provided via face-to-face educational meetings along with presenting informative pamphlets, which took place over 45 days duration of time. Data were analyzed by the use of SPSS software version 21, t-test and Wilcoxon test. Significant level was considered at P-value less than 0.05. RESULTS: Musculoskeletal disorders were observed in all limbs of the studied workers. The most prevalent disorders were the pain in the shoulder region of lift operators (86.1%) and the pain in the back area of mixer operators (77.8%). About 99.3% of all concrete form workers were exposed to a moderate level of ergonomic risk and needed posture correction. Pre- and post-training REBA scores showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Although the ergonomic training did reduce the ergonomic risk of workers, because of its short duration, it failed to reduce this risk to an acceptable level. It is recommended to hold both theoretical and practical training sessions over longer periods of time.

Authors: Gens Hadrien , Villemant Claire
Published: December 2020

Vanhornia leileri Hedqvist, 1976 in France (Hymenoptera, Proctotrupoidea, Vanhorniidae). Vanhornia leileri was recently collected in the French part of the Jura massif, in the Lac de Remoray Nature Reserve. This species described from Sweden was then found in the Russian Far East, the Swiss Jura, Germany and very recently the Netherlands. The presence of V. leileri at the northeast of the Jura massif is the second mention of this parasitoid in France after a previous one from Haute-Savoie. The apparent rarity of this parasitoid seems to be linked to that of its saproxylic Eucnemidae beetle hosts. We present here the main knowledge acquired on Vanhorniidae and this species still so little known.

Authors: Zhabin O. , Pecherytsia O. , Tarakanov S. , Shevchenko I.
Published: December 2020

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has recently completed the first phase of the pre-licensing vendor design review (VDR) for the SMR-160 small modular reactor (SMR) designed by Holtec International (USA). This event is an example of early involvement of the regulatory authority into review of the safety assessment for SMR design developed in compliance with standards and rules of another country. This example deserves a detailed analysis considering that the introduction of SMR technology is potentially attractive for Ukraine and there is national interest in this area. The paper presents an overview of the regulatory framework governing the pre-licensing VDR by CNSC: objective, initial conditions, main stages, technical content and general expected results of this process. According to the first phase of the review performed for the SMR-160 design, information on the main aspects addressed for each technical area and the main review findings are provided. Since the implementation of relevant advanced practices is reasonable and relevant, the paper proposes to consider the development and implementation of regulatory framework for the national nuclear regulatory authority to perform further pre-licensing reviews of designs using the latest foreign technologies.
On In-Situ Disposal of ChNPP Facilities
Authors: Paskevych S. , Olkhovyk Yu.
Published: December 2020

The paper considers the possibility of applying in-situ disposal practice for Chornobyl exclusion zone facilities, in particular: ChNPP-1-3 that are under decommissioning, Shelter, RWDS ChNPP Stage III and RWDS Pidlisny. It was concluded that these facilities would not reach safety level over the next 300 years sufficient for clearance from regulatory control. In-situ disposal of ChNPP-1-3 would lead to a potential hazard related to a large amount of irradiated reactor graphite. Artificial barriers of concrete and bulk clay will not provide isolation of radionuclides, primarily radiocarbon, from the environment.

The paper considers possible natural factors, the effect of which for the time required for the decay of radionuclides to acceptable level, can lead to destruction of surface storage facilities on ChNPP site. Such factors are as follows: probable transformation of Pripyat river valley; seismic influence related to both strong earthquakes in the Vrancea Zone (Romania) and the influence of local seismic centre. It raises issues connected with considering climate change, duration of and change in climate cycles for safety justification of in-situ disposal practices for ChNPP facilities. It was concluded that at this time it is impossible, to prove safety of surface burial on ChNPP site for the period of tens of thousands of years, since a number of external factors have probabilistic nature.

SOEGIJA BIOPIC FILM, POLITICAL AFIRMATION, AND POLITICAL IDENTITY: DECONSTRUCTION OF INDONESIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY
Authors: Kartika Bambang Aris , Prihatini Nanik Sri , Hastanto Sri , Dharsono Dharsono
Published: December 2020

Soegija's movie is a biopic film based on the historiography of the highest leaders of the people and the Catholic church in Indonesia. Soegija's film is an antithesis of Indonesian historiography so far, especially the historiography of the era of the Indonesian independence revolution. This article discusses the political affirmation and identity politics of Soegija's film from the perspective of Derrida's Deconstruction. Derrida's Deconstruction approach and historical methodology consisting of Heuristics, Hermeneutics, and internal criticism are used to understand the position of Soegija's biopic on Indonesian historiography. The results of the study show that Soegija's film is a biography moving picture of the character Mgr. Albertus Soegijapranata, who narrated historical facts about the national attitude of the Catholic leadership as the first native bishop. In deconstruction, it appears that Soegija's biopic is a representation of the political affirmation and identity politics of educational cultural resistance to the truth of the historical facts of the character Mgr. Albertus Soegijapranata who is in binary opposition to Indonesian historiography.

Published: December 2020

This study provides bibliographical note on the syntaxonomy of the vegetation of Tlemcen, Hafir, Moutas of North-western Algeria, including the associations and alliances of the different higher units found in the Hafir forest and the Moutas Reserve. In this work, we observed modifications of forest and pre-forest structures according to bioclimatic variations. However, in this region, the xericity of the climate is not the only factor destroying the plant cover, anthropization is also a degradation factor. While being aware of the negative consequences, man, through their abusive cultivation, illegal logging, overgrazing, urbanization, the depletion of natural resources;, inhibits the evolution of vegetation, participates in the replacement of a rich plant cover by another and more xerophytic plant cover with thorny and/or toxic feature. The landscape is dominated, for the most part, by open and degraded formations based on therophytes and chamaephytes, linked to Rosmarinetea and Cisto-Lavanduletea. The tree structures in Hafir and the Moutas reserve, still occupy only minimal areas subject to the destructive actions of man and his flock. These formations are still linked to the Quercetea ilicis. These ecosystems are marked by a regressive evolution (forest, pre-forest, scrub, scrubland and therophytization).

Authors: Santos Michele  Joyce Pereira dos , Sobral Maria do Carmo Martins
Published: December 2020

A preocupação com as mudanças climáticas e seus impactos têm sido objetivo de tratativas à nível mundial. Tanto as empresas quanto as entidades governamentais vêm empregado esforços contínuos para redução dos gases de efeito estufa, limitação do aumento da temperatura global e promoção da resiliência à mudança do clima. Assim, procurou-se analisar neste estudo o histórico de emissões no Brasil e o modo como o país tem se adequado às exigências internacionais. A partir de uma revisão sistemática no modelo PRISMA (Principais itens para relatar Revisões Sistemáticas e Meta-análises), 21 artigos científicos foram analisados e se desenvolveu um estudo quantitativo dos inventários de emissões de gases de efeito estufa publicados pelo Programa Brasileiro GHG Protocol, por parte das organizações do setor da Construção Civil. Para o setor, foram contabilizadas nove organizações membro, sendo que quatro possuem o selo ouro. Os resultados mostraram que as publicações dos inventários se concentram em organizações localizadas na região Sudeste do país e que no geral não há uma periodicidade nas publicações. Também foi percebido que 93,8% das emissões registradas em 2019 estão inseridas no Escopo 3, ou seja, originadas de fontes indiretas, como na produção do cimento e do aço utilizados nas obras. Por fim, foi observado que as organizações da Construção Civil perfazem um percentual de 6% das empresas membro do Programa, evidenciando a necessidade do setor em ampliar o gerenciamento das suas emissões, de modo a contribuir com medidas de combate à mudança climática.

Published: December 2020

Objetivo: Descrever os principais microrganismos associados as infecções respiratórias, listando assim, bactérias, vírus, fungos, protozoários e helmintos. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, cuja seleção de materiais foi realizada por meio de critérios pré estabelecidos, os quais, corroboraram para a especificidade da busca nas bases de dasos: SciELO, PubMed e o portal de periódicos da  CAPES, sendo inclusos, um total de 42 conteúdos, estes, publicados entre os anos de 2010 a 2020. Resultados e Discussão: Vários são os microrganismos responsáveis pelo acometimento de infecções no trato respiratório, tendo as bactérias como os principais agentes infecciosos neste sentido, sendo adquiridas na comunidade, mas com ênfase para sua contaminação, no ambiente hospitalar. Os vírus, por sua vez, se correlacionam com o potencial de morbidade e mortalidade nas doenças por eles causadas. Além desses microrganismos, os fungos, protozoários e helmintos também possuem a capacidade de promover infecções pulmonares. Conclusão: Em suma, pode-se afirmar a grande variedade de microrganismos envolvidos no acometimento de infecções respiratórias. Frente a essencialidade fisiológica dos pulmões, e o comprometimento que as infecções resultam, muita das vezes de forma irrversiveis ou deixando sequelas, gera-se a necessidade de estudos destinados a elaboração de terapêuticas para a estabilização dos pacientes comprometidos.
Sustentabilidade no uso de poliuretano e reutilizações de aparas
Authors: Grotto André Carlos , Hemkemeier Marcelo , Rossato Maiara Vizioli
Published: December 2020

O poliuretano é um dos maiores produtos poliméricos da família do plástico. É um material produzido por reação de condensação entre polióis e isocianatos e pode ser utilizado em uma vasta gama de aplicações, o que desencadeou um crescimento acentuado na sua utilização nos últimos anos. É considerado um produto altamente promissor e versátil devido à sua morfologia atraente e ampla gama de propriedades mecânicas desejáveis. O grande uso comercial leva a geração de resíduos (aparas), e se não reutilizados ou descartados corretamente, esse produto causa impactos ambientais. Desta forma, deseja-se avaliar a sustentabilidade em relação ao uso desse produto e as possíveis reutilizações das aparas. Constatou-se que as principais alternativas de descarte das aparas são em aterros sanitários, incineração, reciclagem e recuperação. A opção mais sustentável seria a reutilização das aparas para geração de outros produtos. Identificou-se processos que a partir dos resíduos criaram novos produtos e são vantajosos pelo fato de reaproveitar rejeitos que não possuíam destino correto e por gerar fonte de renda.

To evaluate the periodic deworming programme (PDP) against soil-transmitted helminth infection and estimate the cost-benefit of this action in a Northeastern Brazilian State. An observational descriptive study was peformed by two branches: an epidemiological analysis of parasitological stool tests positivity in the 7 health micro-regions of Sergipe State, from January to June 2019, and a cost-benefitial analysis through comparison between estimated costs of PDP and conventional diagnose and treatment method from 2014 to 2018. From the 1110 parasitological stool tests evaluated, 317 were positive: 20 (1.8 %) for helminths and 307 (26.7%) for protozoan parasites. Among positive tests, 61 (19.2%) were in PDP age target group (5-14 years). An annual average of 255,283 Albendazole tablets (400mg, single dose) were distributed with an annual average coverage rate of 84.2%. To support the programme, approximately R$ 281,859.25 (US$ 89,775.67) were transferred per year to the state of Sergipe. PDP estimated cost-effectiveness was R$ 1.10 (US$ 0.34) per event prevented and generated a cost-minimization of approximately R$ 335.617,60 (US$124,568.00) when compared to the conventional diagnose and treat method. The positive rates of soil-transmitted helminth infection in parasitological tests in Sergipe were low and the recommendation for PDP seems to be currently inadequate. Most positive tests were for commensal protozoa species. PDP estimated cost is lower than conventional diagnose and treatment method. Protozoa infections prevention policies should be evaluated as they are the major parasitic infection in our community after PDP.

Published: December 2020

A osteonecrose dos maxilares associada aos bisfosfonatos é uma condição definida como o desenvolvimento de osso necrótico na cavidade bucal persistente por mais de 8 semanas, de um paciente que esteja recebendo tratamento com bisfosfonatos e não tenha recebido radioterapia em região de cabeça e pescoço. Estes medicamentos inibem a atividade osteoclástica, sendo principalmente utilizados no tratamento de pacientes com doenças ósseas metabólicas ou com diversas neoplasias malignas que envolvem osso. Estas lesões apresentam predominância mandibular, ocasionadas, geralmente, após um pequeno trauma no tecido ósseo ou decorrente de um procedimento odontológico invasivo, sendo caracterizadas como ulcerações da mucosa bucal, frequentemente dolorosas, que expõem o osso subjacente. Ao exame radiográfico, estas injurias apresentam radiopacidade aumentada antes da evidência clínica necrótica, ocorrendo predominantemente em áreas de remodelação óssea alta. Com isso, objetiva-se relatar um caso clínico de uma paciente de 49 anos que compareceu ao ambulatório da Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública, com a queixa principal de uma lesão endurecida em região vestibular maxilar posterior direita, negando dor ou supuração. Ao exame físico, observou-se exposição óssea acima da unidade 17, sem inflamação. Ademais, a paciente relatou a retirada das glândulas mamárias em virtude de uma lesão neoplásica maligna com metástase em pulmão e osso, associando o uso de quimioterápicos ao tratamento. Foi proposto a remoção cirúrgica da loja óssea exposta, associado posteriormente a laserterapia e a ozonioterapia. Assim, pretende-se recuperar o aporte sanguíneo local, visando expor a paciente ao mínimo de trauma e o fechamento da injúria de forma gradual.

O cultivo florestal de Eucaliptus spp. no Brasil se destaca devido a sua alta adaptabilidade, crescimento, e direcionado aos mais diversos segmentos, tornando a espécie mais cultivada do setor. Com o avanço da monocultura, a incidência de pragas e doenças acaba sendo favorecida. S. cosmioides é uma praga que acarreta grandes danos em diversas culturas sendo mencionado sobre mudas de eucalipto porém, informações sobre essa cultura são escassos, objetivando a realização desse estudo. Para isso utilizou-se folhas do clone I 144, as espécies Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus camaldulensise e dieta artificial como testemunha, totalizando 4 tratamentos e 5 repetições com 10 lagartas por repetição. As plantas foram conduzidas em vasos na casa de vegetação, visando isenção produtos fitossanitários químicos e com bom estado nutricional de onde foram retiradas as folhas e fornecidos para as lagartas. O consumo de E. camaldulensis foi o que apresentou maior valor, diferindo dos demais, no entanto demonstrou baixo peso das lagartas perdendo apenas para o I 144, diferindo estatisticamente de todos. O tratamento I144 proporcionou os menores valores de peso, tamanho e duração de fase larval, diferidos dos demais tratamentos, apenas o consumo assemelhou-se ao do C. citriodora, não demonstrando diferença estatística entre si. Apenas as lagartas alimentadas com a dieta e C. citriodora completaram seu ciclo, passando para o estagio de pupa. C. citriodora pode vir a ser alvo do ataque de S. cosmioides, os demais eucaliptos testados nesse estudo não apresentaram potencial para seu desenvolvimento.

As queimadas estão relacionadas ao uso da terra, sendo uma fonte de mudanças e importante agente modelador dos ecossistemas e é uma prática cultural onde muitas famílias dessa técnica para o preparo da terra para a realização de plantios para o sustento familiar, seus malefícios são poucos conhecidos pela população. Nesse sentido, o estudo teve como objetivo realizar levamentos de dados sobre as práticas queimadas desenvolvidas por produtores rurais no povoado Santa Maria no município de São João do Sóter- MA. As coletas dos dados foram realizadas através de aplicações de questionários semiaberto e observações in loco para fundamentação dos resultados. Entrevistamos 100 chefes, 86% da população residem há mais de 40 anos no povoado e 47% com a idade superior a 60 anos, 42% apresentaram o grau de escolaridade ensino fundamental incompleto, 96% das famílias residem em casas com estrutura de taipa e 48% das famílias é composta por quatro a seis moradores. 80% das famílias tem como meio de subsistência as atividades agrícolas. 99% realizam queimadas nos terrenos para produção agrícola, 62% produzem carvão das cascas do coco babaçu e 38% de madeira florestal. 100% dos entrevistados relataram essa problemática e também a caça predatória.  As práticas de queimadas é uma atividade cultural da população, é a principal ferramenta de trabalho na agricultura. O presente estudo contribuiu no fornecimento de dados que podem auxiliar nas elaborações de estratégias no gerenciamento de queimadas em atividades rurais.
Environmental, evolutionary, and ecological drivers of slow growth in deep-sea demersal teleosts
Authors: Black JA , Neuheimer AB , Horn PL , Tracey DM , Drazen JC
Published: December 2020

The deep sea (>500 m ocean depth) is the largest global habitat, characterized by cool temperatures, low ambient light, and food-poor conditions relative to shallower waters. Deep-sea teleosts generally grow more slowly than those inhabiting shallow water. However, this is a generalization, and even amongst deep-sea teleosts, there is a broad continuum of growth rates. The importance of potential drivers of growth rate variability amongst deep-sea species, such as temperature, food availability, oxygen concentration, metabolic rate, and phylogeny, have yet to be fully evaluated. We present a meta-analysis in which age and size data were collected for 53 species of teleosts whose collective depth ranges span from surface waters to 4000 m. We calculated growth metrics using both calendar and thermal age, and compared them with environmental, ecological, and phylogenetic variables. Temperature alone explained up to 30% of variation in the von Bertalanffy growth coefficient (K, yr-1), and 21% of the variation in the average annual increase in mass (AIM, %), a metric of growth prior to maturity. After correcting for temperature effects, depth was still a significant driver of growth, explaining up to 20 and 10% of the remaining variation in K and AIM, respectively. Oxygen concentration also explained ~11% of remaining variation in AIM following temperature correction. Relatively minor amounts of variation may be explained by food availability, phylogeny, and the locomotory mode of the teleosts. We also found strong correlation between growth and metabolic rate, which may be an underlying driver also related to temperature, depth, and other factors, or the 2 parameters may simply covary as a result of being linked by evolutionary pressures. Evaluating the influence of ecological and/or environmental drivers of growth is a vital step in understanding both the evolution of life history parameters across the depth continuum as well as their implications for species’ resilience to increasing anthropogenic stressors.
Retention of Generation Y in Hungarian Public Service

Published: December 2020

The article discusses challenges of retaining young people in public service. Is it possible to have a new generation of public servants, who choose this profession even for a lifetime? In search of the answer literature of generation theories, generation management and retention management is reviewed and influencing factors of a generation membership and retention are synthesized. Empirical research results of a survey with over 1300 responders among Hungarian public servants are shown from which an identity profile of Generation Y public servants is sketched and proposals are made for long-term retention strategies. Outcome of the research suggests generational approach to be introduced in public service human resource management in order to support more effective retention management and to better understand possible generational differences instead of relying on false assumptions.

Published: December 2020

Regional development is currently becoming one of the key determinants contributing to the activation of local actors of regional development with a view to contributing to national economic development. For this reason, it is not desirable for the overall favourable development of the Slovak economy to exist or to deepen the differences in the economic performance of regions. The starting point for establishing a targeted set of support and development instruments is an active state approach to identifying problem regions and identifying key areas where targeted financial or non-financial support can be directed. The aim of this paper is to assess their impact on mitigating the negative economic and social impacts, which have been typical for these regions for several decades.

Published: December 2020

The aim of the contribution was to analyze level of emotional intelligence and its factors towards public administration employees and analyze potential gender differences within emotional intelligence. 102 respondents (67 women and 35 men) with the average age of 34.94 years (SD = 12.27) answered the questions measuring emotional intelligence by Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire - TEIQue-SF (Petrides, 2006; slovak version Kaliská, Nábělková, & Salbot, 2015). The results showed that the extent of emotional intelligence was lower in general (M = 2.79; SD = .71) and in particular factors, as well. There were no significant gender differences in level of emotional intelligence (U(89) = 1018.00; α = .276).

The present article deals with the development of society in terms of how information is perceived and in terms of how society deals with the problematic of information overload. The aim of the study is to highlight the importance of the link between a democratic society and the information literacy of the individuals making up the society. In the article, the development of the society was realized from the stage of knowledge-oriented society to the information society, which overlaps with the present. At this point, the article, through small case study dealing with information chaos during coronacrisis, highlights current phenomena that demonstrate the link between the inappropriate processing of information and the decline of democracy. We assume that an information literate individual is one of the fundamental building blocks of a democratic system.
