Published: February 2022

Introduction:

Although randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the benchmark study design, a change of outcomes for a few patients can lead to a reversal of study conclusions. As such, examination of the fragility index (FI) of RCTs has become an increasingly popular method to provide further information regarding the relative robustness of RCT results. The purpose of this study was to systematically characterize and assess the predictors of the FI RCTs in total hip arthroplasty literature.

Methods:

PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane were systematically searched for all total hip arthroplasty RCTs published between January 2015 and December 2020, which had an equal assignment of participants to a two parallel-arm study design, examined a surgical intervention, and reported on at least one statistically significant dichotomous outcome in the abstract. Potential factors associated with the FI were examined using the Spearman correlation and Mann-Whitney U test.

Results:

Thirty-four RCTs were selected, with a median number of study participants of 111 (interquartile range [IQR] 72–171] and a median total number of events of 15 (IQR 9.5 to 29). The median FI was 2 (IQR 1 to 6), while six studies had a FI of 0. In 18 cases (52.9%), the number of patients needed to change from no event to event was less than that loss to follow-up. Larger sample size was found to predictive of a higher FI (rs = 0.367, P = 0.033), but the year of publication, journal impact factor, the calculated power analysis size, and loss to follow-up were not associated with FI.

Conclusion:

The FI serves as a useful addition to other more commonly used approaches of quantitative analyses, such as P values, effect sizes, and confidence intervals, and widespread reporting the FI may provide clinicians with further information about RCT results.

PRILOG POZNAVANJU INTENZITETA PRIRASTA PRASADI VELIKE BELE ENGLESKE SVINJE U DOBA SISANJA

Po desetogodišnjem orijentacionom programu unapređenja stočarstva bele ranostasne svinje treba da se gaje u svim oblastima FNR Jugoslavije: nizinskim, brdskim, planinskim i primorskim. Odavno se bele svinje gaje u Sloveniji, Dalmaciji, Crnoj Gori, dok se u Bosni i Hercegovini ređe sretaju. Svinjarstvo je uopšte u NR Bosni i Hercegovini slabo razvijeno i brojno i kvalitativno. Glavni je razlog ovoj zaostalosti, što se pod turskom i austriskom upravom, kao i u staroj Jugoslaviji, iz verskih i političkih motiva, nije radilo na podizanju svinjarstva. Danas ne postoje ovi razlozi i narodne vlasti treba da sistematski i po utvrđenom planu potpomažu i usmeravajurazvitak svinjarstva. Besumnje, biće velikih poteškoća u podizanju i unapređenju svinjarstva u Bosni i Hercegovini, pogotovo u tome da se uvedu i održe kulturne rase, kao što su bele engleske svinje, Za ovu granu stočarstva narod nema tradicije, ishrana svinja je nepravilna, a higijenske prilike, i način držanja i nega primitivni!.

Poznato je staro mišljenje obazrivih stočara, da se u prilikama loše ishrane i nege ne mogu održati kulturne rase stoke, te se iz toga izvodi zaključak da treba držati proste, domaće rase, a strane uvoditi oprezno i postepeno, sa stvaranjem boljih životnih uslova, koje one zahtevaju. To znači još neodređeno vreme čekati na takve uslove za uvođenje kulturnih rasa svinja u Bosnu i Hercegovinu. Međutim, mi imamo vlastitih iskustava da se bolji uslovi mogu stvarati naporedo sa uvođenjem kulturnih rasa. Naprimer, kada su prve engleske bele svinje uvezene u Crnu Goru (narod im je dao ime puliješke svinje), one nisu došle u naročito povoljne uslovenege, ishrane i smeštaja, a ipak su se održale i vremenom su ukrštanjem s domaćom prostom svinjom stvorile tip bele ranostasne svinje. Bela svinja u Crnoj Gori dobro se aklimatizovala i potisnula je autohtonu svinju. Ona se odlikuje znatnom plodnošću i visokom produkcijom kvalitetne slanine i mesa.

U doba kada se preporučuje uvođenje engleskih belih svinja u NR Bosnu i Hercegovinu, smatramo da je potrebno, između ostalog, da se ustanovi, kako se one ipnilagođavaju novim uslovima i kako se razvija njihov podmladak. Od brzine razvitka prasadi zavisi dalji uspeh u gajenju svinja. Svakako je veliki manjak ovih ispitivanja što se radilo s malim brojem prasadi. Ipak se nadamo da će i ovi skromni podaci poslužiti gajačima kao orijentacija i kontrola ličnih uspeha.

U zimskom periodu ishrane domaćih životinja livadsko i njivsko seno treba da čine glavni deo osnovnog obroka kod većine domaćih životinja. Naše nastojanje treba da ide ne samo u pravcu proizvodnje što veće količine sena nego još više u pravcu popravka njegovog kvaliteta. Samo tako stvorićemo, s jedne strane osnov za napredno stočarstvo, a s druge strane uštedećemo znatne količine koncentrata. Bez kvalitetnog sena nema uslovaza razvitak naprednog stočarstva, pošto je ono »hleb« životinje. Da bismo to mogli izvršiti, potrebno je ne samo poznavati, nego i ovladati faktorima od kojih zavisi kvalitet i kvantitet sena. Prema Popov-u (12) ti faktori su sledeći: uslovi gajenja bilja (zemljište, đubrenje,klima, agrotehnika), sorte bilja od koga je sastavljen biljni pokrivač, starost biljke koja se kosi, način sušenja i, najzad, način i trajanje čuvanja. Cilj ovog rada je da posluži kao prilog ispitivanju što podesnijeg načina sušenja iucerkinog sena. Ostali faktori nisu ispitivani, izuzev meteoroloških prilika, koje su u to vreme vladale.

Naše autohtone rase i sojevi domaćih životinja malo su ispitani, kako u morfološkom tako i u fiziološkom pogledu. Upoznati ono što imamo prvi je uslov koji treba da ispunimo da bismo mogli dalje da radimo planski i temeljito na popravljanju naših domaćih životinja onim metodama koje će nam u svakom datom slučaju najbolje i najbrže da koriste. Cilj je ovog rada da se doprinese ispitivanju mliječnosti i kakvoće mlijeka srednjobosanske pramenke i sjeničkopešterske ovce u uslovima koji danas mogu da se pruže ovcama kod naših seljaka i na državnim poljoprivrednim dobrima. Kako su se u stadu na kojem je vršena kontrola nalazile i četiri ovce virtemberške rase, vršili smo ujedno ispitivanje mliječnosti i sastava mlijeka i tih ovaca. Dobiveni rezultati u ovom radu mogu da posluže samo kao orijentacioni podaci, jer nam je za ispitivanje bio na raspolaganju dosta mali broj ovaca, pa bi bilo nepravilno bez daljega uopštavati te podatke.
NEGATIVNA STRANA OBRASLOSTI GLAVE VUNOM KOD OVACA

Dobra obraslost ovaca vunom je osobina koju želimo da postignemo u odgajivanju ovaca. Ali pretjerana obraslost po glavi i licu može da izazove i neželjene posljedice.

Istraživanja koja su vršena u Western Sheep Breeding Laboratory (Journal of Animal Science, August 1949 str. 360-361, citirano iz knjige: Riče A i dr. »Breeding Better Livestock« 1953) pokazuju da su rambuje ovce, koje su imale glavu i lice obraslo vunom, zaostajale u plodnosti i produkciji za ovcama s neobraslim licem. Ovce s neobraslim licem odgajile su do odlučivanja 11,3 % više jagnjadi (neobrasle 99,0 % - obrasle 87,7 %, a prosječna težina njihove jagnjadi bila je veća za 11,1 funtu (neobrasle 75,5 funti — obrasle 64,4 funte). Ovce s djelimično obraslim licem odgajile su do odlučivanja 8,6% više jagnjadi (djelimično obrasle 96,3 % - obrasle 87,7 %), a prosječna težina njihove jagnjadi bila je veća za 7,7 funti od ovaca s obraslim licem (djelimično obrasle 72,1 funtu — obrasle 64,4 funte).
NEKOLIKO PODATAKA O VARIRANJU SMEĐEG ALPSKOG GOVEČETA U PROCESU PRILAGOĐIVANJA

Importirane kulturne pasmine domaćih životinja, kao i njihovo potomstvo, doživljavaju u novoj sredini morfološke i fiziološke promjene.Intenzitet promjena uslovljen je sposobnošću prilagođavanja dotične pasmine, odnosno svakog pojedinog individuuma. S druge strane, te su promjene to veće što se uvjeti života više razlikuju od uvjeta života u njihovoj domovini: Smeđe alpsko goveče odlikuje se prema tvrđenju niza inostranih stručnjaka (cit, po Engeleru) izvanrednom aklimatizacionom sposobnošću. Ono vrlo brzo uspostavlja biološku ravnotežu organizma pod najtazličitijim uvjetima klime, prehrane i držanja.

Da bismo ispitali tu sposobnost spomenute pasmine, vršili smo početna ispitivanja na stadu smeđeg govečeta oglednog dobra »Slatina« Poljoprivrednošumarskog fakulteta u Sarajevu. Pritome smo uzeli u obzir kao mjerilo za prilagođavanje pravilnost rasta, te vršili opažanja u promjenama  karakterističnih pasminskih osobina, eksterijera i tipa.

PRILOG PROUČAVANJU RA2LIKA U INTENZITETU INTRAKUTANIH TUBERKULINSKIH REAKCIJA U TOKU PROCESA TUBERKULOZE KOD GOVEDA
Authors: Boko Frano
Published: February 2022

Poznato je da pored nespecifičnih reakcija prilikom tuberkulinizacije neka tuberkulozna grla na tuberkulin uopšte ne reagiraju, ili reagiraju tako neznatno, ispod sumnjive vrijednosti, da se i dalje ostavljaju među zdravim životinjama. Time je pružena mogućnost za dalje širenje tuberkuloze naročito onda ako se tuberkulinizacija u početku saniranja stada ponavlja nakon dugih pauza (nedostatak tuberkulina, lakomislena sigurnost pri malo sumnjivim reakcijama itd).

Jedan od takvih slučajeva ponukao nas je na ispitivanje izvora infekcije i na posmatranje razlika u intenzitetu tuberkulinskih reakcija kod stada tuberkuloznih goveda i nekoliko njihovih potomaka izolovanih na Fakultetskom oglednom poljoprivrednom dobru »Slatina« (kod Sarajeva). Posmatranja su vršena od 1950 godine, kad su goveda na tuberkulin prvi put pozitivno reagirala, pa do 1952—53 godine, kad su postepeno likvidirana.

Skoro svi putevi unapređivanja biljne proizvodnje vode preko sjemenarstva. Zato se toj grani odavno posvećuje velika pažnja u ratarstvu, livadarstvu, hortikulturi, cvjećarstvu itd. Međutim, šumsko sjemenarstvo Bosne i Hercegovine u praktičnom pogledu je veoma primitivno i nalazi se skoro u početnom razvoju. Polazeći od činjenice da je i šumsko sjeme nosilac i prenosilac dobrih i loših osobina drveća i da baš od njegovih osobina najviše zavisi kvalitet budućih sastojina, u posljednjim decenijama šumari naprednijih zemalja nastoje da proizvodnju sjemena postave na što savremenije i racionalnije osnove, da tu proizvodnju u naučnom i praktičnom pogledu stalno unapređuju i da na taj način isprave greške iz prošlosti. Na žalost, te su greške kod nas često bile vrlo velike, a mjestimično i zaprepašćujuće. I umjesto da smo i mi odavno pristupili što bržem i temeljitijem otklanjanju grešaka u navedenom smislu, mi čak i sada možemo samo konstatovati da je i u poslijeratnom periodu, koji predstavlja brzi i veliki napredak za sve privredne grane (uključujući tu i šumarstvo), naše šumsko sjemenarstvo u pogledu naučnih istraživanja, zakonskih propisa, organizacije i praktičnog unapređivanja vrlo malo odmaklo. Polazeći od te činjenice, mi ćemo u ovom radu pokušati da na temelju savremenih dostignuća šumarske ekologije, genetike, selekcije, organizacije i mehanizacije damo svoje sugestije za pravilnije i stručnije usmjeravanje proizvodnje šumskog sjemena u SRBiH.

UDK 630*114:630*43(497.5)

This paper presents preliminary results on the alterations in the forest soil properties during an wildfires occurred in 2011 and 2012 in southern Dalmatia (Croatia). At three locations in 2012 different soil samples (0-5 cm) were taken from shrub lands, depending on vegetation characteristics. Samples were taken from burned and unburned areas in order to determine possible differences. The results showed significant statistical differences between burned and control soil samples for pH, EC, and several cations and anions (N-NH +, N-NO -, SO 2-, Ca2+, K+ and Na+). These investigated parameters are under the direct influence of fire intensity on the ground. Results show that there is no difference between sites burned in 2011 and those that burned in 2012. Further investigation will reveal how many years it will take for the soil to return to pre- burned conditions.
CHANGES IN LAND COVER AND LAND USE IN THE KARST AREA OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Natural characteristics of karst areas (lack of water on the surface, scarce soil and vegetation) are rather specific and because of them they are often viewed as unsuitable for human habitation. They are often described as inhospitable and passive areas, and Aley (1992) states that karst areas in America are correlated with areas of rural poverty. A large part of Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of karst areas (karst land extending northwest-southeast) which on average are quite sparsely populated. The scarcity of nature, and especially of soil functions in terms of agriculture, as well as the previous period of industrial development caused depopulation which became particularly apparent after the recent war. This contributed to the fact that in some karst areas population has been drastically reduced, in some places by more than 60%, which affects the condition of land cover and land use as well as change in functions of soil in the ecosystem.

Given the fact that the soil formation process on karst terrain is very slow (these are mainly shallow and skeletal soils) and in view of the importance of soil and its multi- functionality, this paper is aimed at analyzing the extent and nature of changes which occurred in land cover and in land use in this part of BiH, namely at analyzing the causes and effects. In order to be able to make such analysis, we used land cover databases, aerial photographs as well as orthophoto maps of the terrain.

The concentration and form of some metals and metalloids in soil is governed by many chemical and physical properties of soil as pH, redox, Fe, Al ions and soil composition. The paper studied presents influence of chemical soil properties, environment conditions and selenium fertilization rate applied on ions status of zinc, cadmium, selenium and iron in soil and plant material, as well as specific adsorption of these ions in two different maize hybrids. The study was conducted at the farm Vita-Vi Višići (Čapljina). The experiment design was a completely randomized design with two hybrids, four different fertilization treatments in four replications. The experimental area was implemented standard agricultural management practices of preparation, tillage, fertilization, application of protective agents. Hybrid NP Pako is selected in order to achieve a high yield, and M34 hybrid for quality yield. The test results and statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in the yield of hybrids combined with different fertilization treatments. Accumulation of selenium, zinc, cadmium and iron in upper ground plant part of maize was not affected by fertilization treatments or selected hybrid. The highest yield was achieved by hybrid M34 Pioneer of 37.6 t ha- 1and the highest yield was obtained in application of third fertilization treatment 20 kg NaSeO4ha-1, but without statistically significant differences comparing to other hybrid or applied treatments. The highest content of selenium in the plant was found in hybrid NP PAKO 0.06 mg Se kg-1 of dry matter of maize applying the fourth liquid fertilization treatment (20 kg Na2SeO4ha-1) but also without statistically significant difference comparing to other hybrid or fertilization treatment. Content of zinc, cadmium and iron in soil or plant material had not shown significant differences due to the applied fertilization or used maize hybrids, but some fluctuations were observed. Selenium fertilization did not have a limiting effect on the formation of the yield and tested elements, but its mobility and availability in soil and plant depends also on other factors as soil properties and climatic conditions of growing season.

At livestock farms most part of nitrogen arrives as purchased products (fertilizer, animal feed and purchased animals). Within the boundaries of the farm, nitrogen recycles between the livestock and crop components. Finally, nitrogen exit a livestock operation unit preferably as managed outputs (meat, crops and manure) sold off the farm. Difference between the inputs and the managed outputs represents an itrogen balance that can be an indicator of environmentally sustainable production. Nitrogen (im)balance consider only amount of the nutrient that cross the border of the farm. In ideal conditions the nitrogen input/output ratio should be 1:1. Some nitrogen exits the farm as losses to the environment (nitrates in groundwater, ammonia volatilized into the atmosphere, and nitrogen into groundwater and surface water).

A study was conducted on five small poultry farm in order to determine whole farm nitrogen balance as difference between total nitrogen inputs (one day chickens, litter, animal feed) and outputs (meat, dead animals and manure). Selected farms differ according to capacity (ranging from 5,000 to 40,000 birds), producers of poultry feed, type and length of manure storage as well as other sensible farming practice which could influence on nitrogen balance.

Collection of data on all farms is done using a questionnaire. Nitrogen content in all substrates (feed, manure, litter) was determinate by Kjeldahl procedure. The results of the whole farm nitrogen balance with the recommendations of its balancing in order to reduce the negative environmental implications are presented in the paper.

The research objective was to determine the influence of basic soil chemical properties on total concentration and available fractions of essential trace elements in the soil. Agrochemical soil analysis were conducted at two localities of different soil properties Berak and Vinogradci in eastern Croatia. The soil at the site Berak was eutric cambisol of neutral reaction (pH average (H2O) 7.20), while the soil in Vinogradci was luvisol of slightly acid reaction (average pH (H2O) 5.87). Both soils were poor in organic matter and well supplied with phosphorus and potassium. As expected, at both analyzed sites the highest average concentrations were determined for total Fe, Mn and Zn followed, and the lowest concentrations were for total Cu. Higher total concentrations of analyzed microelements were recorded at the Berak site. The total concentrations of Zn and Cu in all analyzed soil samples were below the maximum permissible concentrations. The highest average concentration of available microelements fraction by EDTA Extraction, were at the Berak site determined for Mn (50.52 mg/kg), then Fe (21.77 mg/kg), Cu (4.78 mg/kg), and the lowest for Zn (1.47 mg/kg). At the Vinogradci site average concentrations of available fraction of microelements determined by EDTA extraction were the highest for Fe (77.09 mg/kg), then Mn (30.75 mg/kg), Cu (4.36 mg/kg), and the lowest for Zn (1.76 mg/kg). Identical order of average concentrations at both sites was also recorded for extraction with DTPA solution. Comparing available fraction of microelements by localities, higher average concentrations of Mn and Cu were found at the site Berak, while on site Vinogradci higher average concentrations were of Fe and Zn. At both sites the DTPA method extracted more of Fe and Mn, an average of 51.06% and 6.39% more than the EDTA method, but the method EDTA extracted more Zn and Cu, an average of 127.10% and 100.40% than DTPA method. The smallest share of the available fraction of the total concentration was recorded for Fe (0.06% by EDTA -0.09% by DTPA ), followed by Zn (1.20% by DTPA - 2.74% by EDTA) and Mn (5.93% by EDTA – 6.31% by DTPA), while the largest share was observed for Cu (10.92% by DTPA and 21.84% by EDTA).

Authors: Nguyen T.D. , Kleinsorge Martin , Krüger Jörg
Published: February 2022

We present a system to assess ergonomics of a manual production process in real time. The system computes a score based on the current working pose of the subject using the “Ergonomics Assessment Worksheet (EAWS)” method. Furthermore, we propose an application scenario where this system is used to automatically adjust the height of a lifting table to enable an ergonomically optimal working pose for the worker. Our sensing system provides necessary information to assess the situational physical load. It consists of a “Microsoft Kinect”, a low cost 3D camera, and a software component. To demonstrate a practical application, we use the component to automatically adjust the height of a lifting table in order to enable comfortable working in straight pose with arms below shoulder level. In other words, it is able to adapt to different subjects with different anthropometrics.
Safety Assessment of Pesticide-Barrier Protection Properties of High-Tech Material Agricultural Safety Clothing: In Vivo-Test Using the Artificial Skin
Authors: Kim Ryang-Hee , Choi Sung-Sic
Published: February 2022

Industrial safety clothing is supposed to have capability to adjust its inside microclimate, to protect the human body from dangerous environments, and to improve productivity. So, it is important to select proper materials, forms, and wearing methods of work-clothes. Agricultural Safety Clothing (ASC) should protect the human body from environmental conditions such as cold, heat, and humidity as well as from working conditions. Agricultural Safety Clothing should also enhance the safety, comfort, and efficiency of works. However, they have increased the use of pesticide to harvest more crops, which has caused various side effects, and insects have become resistant to pesticides. For these issues, we aimed to develop the newly agricultural safety clothing based on highly technology finish textiles, and to estimate pesticide protective performance properties. And we were to evaluate the pesticide barrier property and safety performance properties of newly designed ASC being made with high-tech proof finish spun-laced nonwoven fabrics. The results of this study were as follows: 1). New high-tech proof finished ASC has respectively negligible or sometimes inconclusive amount of pesticide residue. Hence, newly designed ASC with high-tech proof finish fabrics was evaluated as the safety ASC better than the conventional safety clothing.
Rollermouse vs. Standard Computer Mouse –Electromyographic and Subjective Assessment of the Usability in Applications with Graphical User Interfaces
Authors: Kluth Karsten , Keller Erwin
Published: February 2022

The positioning of the hand-arm-shoulder system while computer-aided data entry, text processing or mouse operations – due to the kinematical chain’s own weight – represents an important risk factor for musculoskeletal complaints such as RSI syndrome as well as PC-work-induced carpal tunnel syndrome. A new system to control the mouse cursor by a rollerbar promised beneficial support and a more comfortable working with a standard keyboard. 24 subjects – classified by gender and age – were part of standardized working tests to proof the ergonomic quality of the rollerbar mouse. The hypothetically expected relief of the hand-arm-shoulder muscles was measured with electromyographic methods. Subjective assessments based on the work experiences were obtained in order to enhance the evaluating of the product’s ergonomic quality. The rollerbar system was rated more favorably than the standard mouse. There are some differences along age and gender lines with regard to the strength of preference, but the rollerbar was the unequivocally preferred input device. Unfortunately, the results of the measurements do not support as strong an endorsement for either of the two products. The reason is that the level of physical strain is simply not high enough. But the conclusion of establishing the rollerbar mouse as an ergonomically promised product could be confirmed.
Ergonomic Evaluation of Pressure Limits for the Fire Water Supply for Physically Feasible and Safe Indoor Fire-fighting
Authors: Groos Sandra , Kluth Karsten
Published: February 2022

So far, there exists no internationally uniform regulation about the pressure limits of water used for putting out fires in multi-story buildings and large properties. In order to prove whether the nozzles work most efficient and a fire can be extinguished safely and precisely, 12 professional fire-fighters carried out simulated fire-fighting procedures under nearly realistic conditions. Throughout the entire test, the electromyographic activity (EA) from 7 muscles of the right hand-arm-shoulder system and one muscle of the left arm was recorded. Additionally, a special questionnaire had to be filled in to evaluate the subjective experiences when handling the nozzles. The EA – standardized through MVCs (Maximum Voluntary Contractions) – exceeded the limit for short-term static work for 3 muscles, especially when the pressure was 0.8 MPa and higher. The subjective ratings confirmed the measured physiological responses. Based on these results, the operating pressure for the fire water supply should not exceed 0.6 MPa (as compromise 0.7 MPa), in order to ensure safe and precise fire-fighting, and that the nozzles work most efficient.

Published: February 2022

The primary biomechanical criteria used are based upon maximum compression on L5/S1 disc. According to NIOSH’s report, it indicates that the workers with predicted compression force more than 3400N have higher risk of back problem, and most workers maybe suffer from back injury while the force reaches 6400N. Therefore, most studies adopt these two values as criteria for LBP risk assessment. A compression prediction program based upon Taiwanese anthropometric data was developed during the study. Furthermore, a validation was carried out by investigating manual lifting on LBP outpatients. 38 patients were randomly chosen as subjects in this study. Using prediction program developed, an investigation on compression force on L5/S1 disc for Taiwanese LBP workers is presented. The study results indicated a mean value of 4785N with a standard deviation of 1916N, while the mean value of male and female are 5155N and 3878N, respectively. These results suggest that, if the data were normally distributed, approximately 21% of workers who suffer LBP due to lifting had ultimate compression strength of less than 3400N. The computer program may be adopted as a tool for work design to reduce physical pain and money loss. It should benefit both lifting workers and their employers.

Authors: Di Leone Giorgio , Del Rosso Annamaria , Longo Fulvio
Published: February 2022

The biomechanical overload disorders of the musculoskeletal system are constantly increasing in Italy and became the most reported occupational diseases to INAIL (Italian Workers’ Compensation Authority). Some sectors, such as agriculture, health and crafts, generally show a particular rise of these diseases while other sectors (such as fishing) are still struggling to bring out the work-related diseases. The Apulia Region included in the Regional Plan for Prevention 2010 - 2012 initiatives in order to secure a better understanding of the tools both for the assessment of risk due to the biomechanical overload of the musculoskeletal system and for the prevention of the diseases related to them. This approach allowed us to collect items of interest in order to better know the ergonomic risk in Apulian agriculture and to define the future prevention policies.

Artificial light measurements can be carried out with the goal of verification of the lighting designed using the computer models used in designing, if the workplace is already arranged. This paper deals with the principles and gained results of the intensity of artificial lighting in an average office. Gained results are confronted with values of the computer program DIALux used in designing the lighting of work places. The results are compared with the results given by technical standards and legal regulations. The real result of the measurement is gained not only by meeting the limited values, but also by right arrangement of work tables. However, the most important thing is the work comfort of employees. Optical performance determines labor productivity with all its economic outcomes.

El logos semántico y el logos apofántico
Authors: Martínez del Castillo Jesús
Published: February 2022

Coseriu separates lógos semantikós from lógos apophantikós. The former manifests in the three levels of linguistic determination: it is universal since it is the meaningful function; it is historical in so far as the meaningful function is determined in the elements of a language; and it is individual since it manifests in texts. Logos apophantikós manifests in the three levels as well: it is universal since logic manifests as different from linguistic, since it is knowledge and since objective classifications of reality do not belong to language: they are not lexical systematizations; it is the historical since reality and knowledge of reality impose on intuition and meaning; and it is individual since it appears in those particular texts in which reality is predicated.
My intention in this article is to analyze logos as it manifests in the act of speech
Teoría crítica de la lingüística: un enfoque humanístico
Authors: Agud Ana
Published: February 2022

The paper presents some of the main thesis of the “Critical Theory of Linguistics” on which the author is working at present, together with epistemological and ethical motivations underlying them. It starts from the Humboldtian axiom “language is real only while speaking each time”, opposing this viewpoint to several theoretical positions in the 20th century; positions that have replaced the fact of considering human speech as something rigorously individual and historical by images of “language” reduced to systems and rules acting beyond individuals and investigated under scientistic methodologies. Contrary to “linguistic ideologies” which have become dominant she proposes to follow the Kantian commitment of studying the human being not in order to “describe”, but aiming that he should “make the best possible out of himself”. Thus she unites the criticism against the metaphysics underlying formal structuralisms with an ethics in accordance with Western humanism. She also underscores the importance of studying language from a historical and comparative perspective.
What does it mean to explain language change? Usage-based perspectives on causal and intentional approaches to linguistic diachrony, or: On S- curves, invisible hands, and speaker creativity
Authors: Winter-Froemel Esme
Published: February 2022

The question how language change should be explained has been intensely debated in linguistic research, and causal and intentional – or in Coseriu’s terms, final – approaches have been proposed as the two basic options that are possible here (cf. Coseriu 1958). I will therefore start by critically reviewing the legitimacy and potential of conceiving language change in causal terms. In a next step I will turn to intentional explanations, which have been proposed as the second fundamental type of approach, and then investigate whether the controversy about causal vs. intentional explanations of language change can be resolved by assuming different mechanisms and types of explanation for the stages of innovation and propagation respectively, as proposed by Keller and Croft. In these reflections key assumptions of Cognitive Linguistics, more specifically of usage-based approaches to language and language change (Barlow/Kemmer 2000), will serve as a constant guideline, as they provide helpful criteria to judge the adequacy of explanations that have been previously proposed. Finally I will discuss the perspectives offered by usage-based approaches for explaining language change by outlining fundamental motors of change as well as their interplay in cognition and communication.

Published: February 2022

Unconscious discharge of urine in sufficient quantity and frequency and causes health, social, psychological, physical, and sexual problems is called urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence occurs due to a decrease in pelvic floor muscle strength as a result of the aging process. One of the efforts made to reduce complaints of incontinence in the elderly is Kegel exercises which aims to rebuild the strength of the pelvic floor muscles. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Kegel exercises on the frequency of urination in the elderly with urinary incontinence in the Pisang Candi Village, Mulyorejo Sukun Health Center Work Area, Malang City on 02 December 2019-02 January 2020. The research design used a Pre Experimental Design with a One Group Pre-Order design. Posttest. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The sample size is 32 elderly. The results showed that there was a significant decrease in the frequency of urination after the Kegel exercise. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test, obtained p value = 0.000 which means that there is an effect of Kegel exercises on decreasing the frequency of urination in the elderly with urinary incontinence. Kegel exercises can be applied by the elderly who live at home or in nursing homes, as an alternative therapy to reduce complaints due to urinary incontinence.

Hypertension is a common disease especially among the elderly, which is an abnormal increase in blood pressure in the arteries continuously with systole more than 140 mmHg and diastole more than 90 mmHg. Hypertension and aging if not treated immediately and left for long time can have an impact on kidney function, kidney failure, coronary heart disease and stroke. Currently the morbidity rate of hypertension in elderly still high, there are many factors that influence, especially medication adherence factor. A study determine factors associated with adherence to hypertension treatment in elderly. This study uses literature review and database design to search for literature reviews using keywords ((((Hypertension) and Aged) or elderly) AND Medication Compliance) or adherence, medication) and factors). 5 articles were selected using JBI Critical Appraisal tools. Articles were taken from reputable and accredited database, namely 4 articles from PubMed database, while an article was accredited from Google Schoolar. The selection was taken by paying attention to PEOS, then analyzed one by one. The results factors related are include age, gender, education level, physical status (weakness) and mental (cognitive function). There are two factors that are strongly related: namely family support and social support. Compliance with hypertension treatment in elderly needs to be improved, so elderly need social support and family support to undergo hypertension treatment compliance along with changes associated with aging process. Introducing community and families to always provide support for elderly to be obedient in treatment
