Authors: Martin Sébastien , Maeder Muriel Nirina , Gonçalves Ana Rita , Pedrazzini Baptiste , Perdrix Jean , Rochat Carine , Senn Nicolas , Mueller Yolanda
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND

A better understanding of the influenza epidemiology among primary care workers could guide future recommendations to prevent transmission in primary care practices. Therefore, we designed a pilot study to assess the feasibility of using a work-based online influenza surveillance system among primary care workers. Such an approach is of particular relevance in the context of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, as its findings could apply to other infectious diseases with similar mechanisms of transmission.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to determine the feasibility of using a work-based online influenza surveillance system for primary care workers in Switzerland.

METHODS

Physicians and staff of one walk-in clinic and two selected primary care practices were enrolled in this observational prospective pilot study during the 2017-2018 influenza season. They were invited to record symptoms of influenza-like illness in a weekly online survey sent by email and to self-collect a nasopharyngeal swab in case any symptoms were recorded. Samples were tested by real-time polymerase chain reaction for influenza A, influenza B, and a panel of respiratory pathogens.

RESULTS

Among 67 eligible staff members, 58% (n=39) consented to the study and 53% (n=36) provided data. From the time all participants were included, the weekly survey response rate stayed close to 100% until the end of the study. Of 79 symptomatic episodes (mean 2.2 episodes per participant), 10 episodes in 7 participants fitted the definition of an influenza-like illness case (attack rate: 7/36, 19%). One swab tested positive for influenza A H1N1 (attack rate: 3%, 95% CI 0%-18%). Swabbing was considered relatively easy.

CONCLUSIONS

A work-based online influenza surveillance system is feasible for use among primary care workers. This promising methodology could be broadly used in future studies to improve the understanding of influenza epidemiology and other diseases such as COVID-19. This could prove to be highly useful in primary care settings and guide future recommendations to prevent transmission. A larger study will also help to assess asymptomatic infections.

Authors: Salman Ahmed A. , Alisa Zainab T.
Published: December 2019

Mobile Wireless sensor networks have acquired a great interest recently due to their capability to provide good solutions and low-priced in multiple fields. Internet of Things (IoT) connects different technologies such as sensing, communication, networking, and cloud computing. It can be used in monitoring, health care and smart cities. The most suitable infrastructure for IoT application is wireless sensor networks. One of the main defiance of WSNs is the power limitation of the sensor node. Clustering model is an actual way to eliminate the inspired power during the transmission of the sensed data to a central point called a Base Station (BS). In this paper, efficient clustering protocols are offered to prolong network lifetime. A kernel-based fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm (KFCM) is adopted to cluster sensor nodes, while a cluster head (CH) is selected for each cluster based on a fuzzy logic system. Results depicts that the new work performs better than the existing algorithms (as Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy-Mobile (LEACH-M) and Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy-Mobile Enhancement (LEACH-ME)) in terms of network lifetime, energy consumption, packet transmission and stability period.

The Case for Sustainable Concrete Waste Management in Qatar
Authors: Al-Thani Soud Khalifa , Park Sungho
Published: December 2019

The construction industry is a major generator of waste. There are many challenges associated with implementing sustainable methods to manage construction waste. While the construction industry in the State of Qatar has been adopting plenty of progressive practices, waste management, especially of concrete waste, has not advanced notably. In addition to the limited supply of limestone suitable for use as natural aggregate for concrete production in Qatar, the ability to recycle and reuse concrete waste is critical to reducing environmental impacts to meet national, regional and global environmental goals. Therefore, this research aims to identify the current status of concrete waste management practices in construction projects in Qatar exemplified by a local case-study project. Concrete waste was particularly monitored over the span of the construction stage of a large research and development facility in Qatar, benchmarking trends and practices on a certified “green” building. In response, this study addresses key challenges to concrete waste recycling and reuse to then recommend opportunities of advancements in local concrete waste management and reuse.

La candidatura silenciosa. La campaña presidencial del general Pablo González Garza en las elecciones de 1920. Una mirada desde la prensa
Authors: Méndez Lara Francisco Iván
Published: December 2019

El presente artículo analiza a través de fuentes hemerográficas el papel que desempeñó en la sucesión presidencial de 1920 uno de los generales más importantes de la revolución mexicana, Pablo González Garza. Dicho militar era uno de los candidatos naturales —junto con Álvaro Obregón— para suceder a Venustiano Carranza debido al ascendente político que había ganado durante la lucha armada. Al iniciar su campaña optó por una actitud legalista, pero  silenciosa y parsimoniosa. Posteriormente, debido al apoyo que Carranza ofreció el ingeniero Ignacio Bonillas para que ocupara la silla más codiciada del país optó por pactar con Obregón y ocupar la capital del país en mayo de 1920 aunque finalmente renunció a su candidatura debido a la imposibilidad de triunfar. Mediante el uso de fuentes poco examinadas, como los periódicos El Heraldo de México, El Monitor Republicano y México Nuevo, se analizan la campaña, la plataforma (la Liga Democrática) y la postura de la prensa gonzalista en dicha coyuntura electoral, temas hasta ahora poco estudiados, incluso olvidados, debido al triunfo del Grupo Sonora.

Published: December 2019

This research was aimed at profiling student’s thinking skills in dealing with Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions based on Marzano taxonomy by referring to 13 indicators. This pre-experimental research employed pretest-posttest design. The indicators included were comparison, classification, deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, error analysis, construction, analysis perspective, abstraction, decision making, investigation, problem solving, inquiry experiment, and innovation finding. The instrument used was a 13-essay question (r-Pearson= 0.79 and Cronbach alpha = 0.68). The data gained from 98 students of Natural Science Education was then analyzed using paired t-test. The results showed the significant different between pre-test and posttest (sig. <0.01). As many as four HOTS indicators (i.e. deductive reasoning, error analysis, construction, and abstraction) were categorized as low level. Meanwhile, the eighth HOTS indicators were categorized as moderate level, namely: comparison, inductive reasoning, analysis perspective, decision making, investigation, solving problem, inquiry experiment, and innovative finding. In addition, the classification indicator was considered in high level in the end of the course. It can be concluded that, in general, students’ HOTS are still in moderate level. Thus, the proper strategies should be designed to improve this condition into the optimal level.

Flores azuis: uma desconstrução do romance epistolar
Authors: Ferreira Josye Gonçalves
Published: December 2019

Pertencendo ao rol das escritas de si, a carta é um meio de comunicação específico quevisa levar uma mensagem de um remetente para alguém real ou fictício. Sua existênciaestá atrelada à ausência do destinatário e sua função é aproximar os interlocutores.Entretanto, a natureza do discurso epistolar é ambivalente porque articula duas dimensões:a presença (ilusão de aproximação) e a ausência (realidade da separação). Nesse jogode presença-ausência, a correspondência abre um espaço de diálogo fictício entre oremetente e o destinatário, entre o autor e o leitor. Tradicionalmente, o romance epistolarestá estruturado exclusivamente na forma de cartas. Sendo assim, este trabalho discutede que modo a escritora Carola Saavedra utiliza as cartas como procedimento narrativo aomesmo tempo em que desconstrói o gênero epistolar na obra Flores Azuis. A trama giraem torno da leitura das cartas que o protagonista Marcos recebe da personagem “A.”.Mesclando o discurso epistolar com uma narração em terceira pessoa, Saavedra apresentaduas narrativas em perspectivas diferentes: a história contada nas cartas de “A.” e ahistória de Marcos, que recebe e lê indevidamente as cartas destinadas a outra pessoa.A narrativa vai se construindo nesse espaço de diálogo fictício e unilateral, uma vez queo protagonista não pode responder às cartas porque não tem o endereço da remetente.Enquanto as duas histórias são contadas, uma terceira trama vai se tecendo diante dosolhos do leitor do romance que, com um olhar globalizante, constrói os possíveis sentidosdo texto.

Synergy of legal impact
Authors: Berg Lyudmila N.
Published: December 2019

Introduction. The modern legal system is unthinkable without the creation, transmission, exchange, movement of legal information. Indeed, the full cycle of legal development (from legal thinking to law enforcement) implies the perception, creation, change, transfer of legal information. Through legal influence a permanent and multidirectional movement of legal information is carried out, as well as its reflection in the legal consciousness of the subject and subsequent incarnation in behavior. The significance and role of legal influence is clearly manifested precisely in the fact that legal information, for example, contained in the text of the legal norm, being brought to the consciousness of a person, becomes an effective force directing and regulating the behavior of the subject.

Materials and methods. Universal (philosophical), general scientific, private scientific (private law) methods of cognition were used in the research process, including dialectical, logical and formal-legal methods. The specificity of the subject of the study led to the use of information and systems approach.

Results. The author formulates the definition of legal information as a set of information and other data that are presented in legal acts, regulatory and technical, reference and scientific materials, as well as legal information created and transmitted by subjects in the course of their interaction, which results in the streamlining of social relations of subjects. It is noted that legal information may be formal and informal.

Discussion and conclusion. The author comes to the conclusion that the synergy of legal influence is the effect of increasing efficiency through the use of interconnection and mutual reinforcement of the «work» of different elements and components of legal influence based on the movement of legal information.

Published: December 2019

Salah satu faktor yang memegang peranan penting dalam meningkatkan produksi ternak ruminansia adalah tersedianya hijauan makanan ternak yang berkualitas sepanjang tahun. Hijauan makanan ternak yang berkualitas terutama terdiri dari rumput rumputan sebagai sumber energi dan leguminosa sebagai sumber protein. Di Indonesia, khususnya di Bali, petani ternak masih banyak memanfaatkan rumput lapangan sebagai pakan ternaknya, karena lahan yang khusus dipergunakan untuk menanam rumput tidaklah memadai. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan pertanaman campuran rumput dengan legume. Untuk menghasilkan produksi yang optimum maka perlu dilakukan pemupukan. Pemupukan yang dapat dilakukan oleh petani tanpa mengeluarkan biaya tambahan adalah pemberian pupuk organik kompos dan biourine. Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan dari bulan Nopember 2015 sampai dengan Pebruari 2016. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok pola faktorial 3x2, dengan 3 faktor jenis tanaman: Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott tanpa legume (Rt); ditanam bersama sentro (Rs) dan ditanam bersama dengan kalopo (Rk): dan 2 jenis pupuk yang digunakan adalah pupuk kompos (K) dan pupuk biourine (B). Masing- masing kombinasi perlakuan diulang sebanyak tiga kali. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda sangat nyata untuk parameter produksi total hijauan segar dan kering, jumlah anakan dan jumlah daun Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott serta komposisi botani pemotongan pertama sedangkan untuk tinggi tanaman Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda tidak nyata Pengaruh yang nyata juga diberikan jenis tanaman terhadap kandungan protein Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata untuk kandungan serat kasar Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pertanaman campuran Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott dengan leguminosa mampu meningkatkan produksi dan kualitas hijauan.

The research aim to determine the effect of extraction using various combination of pH alkaline-acid to protein and amino acid content of Lamtoro Protein Concentrate Leaf (LPCL). Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 5 replications. The Lamtoro Leaf Meal (LLM) (50 gram) was blended in NaOH (200 ml) for 15 menit and centrifuged to separate the supernatant from extracted LLM. The extracted LLM was re-extracted with buffer acetat pH 4,6 and sentrifuged again to separate supernantant from extracted LLM. Both supernatant from NaOH and buffera acetat pH 4,6 extraction were mixed and precipitated with buffer phospat until isoelectric point. The treatments were tested consisted of extracted with NaOH pH 8, NaOH pH 9 and NaOH pH 10. The parameters measured; isoelectric point at precipited, crude protein, total amino acid (TAA), total essential amino acid (TEAA) and individual amino acid. The results showed that the precipited obtained isoelectric point pH 7 was 2.66; 1.03 and 2.58 gram at the extraction treatments using NaOH at pH 8, 9 and 10, respectively. LPCL extracted using NaOH at pH 9 and 10 contained a high crude protein of 54.82 and 52.60% higher than the extraction using NaOH at pH 8 of 46.98%. The total amount of amino acid and essential amino acid (AAE) of LPCL were highest in treatment using NaOH at pH 10 of 26,58; 13.31 %, respectively. Combination extraction LLM using pH buffer 10 followed by re-extract using acetate buffer pH 4,6 contains crude protein and good essential amino acid, especially leucine. Conclution of the research that the combination extraction using NaOH at pH 10 and followed by re-extract using acetate buffer at pH 4.6 is the best treatment contain crude protein and essential amino acid at LPCL.

This study aims to determine the efficiency of water utilization in the local grasses of Axonopus compressus, Paspalum conjugatum, and Oplismenus burmanni with different water levels. The study was conducted in the Laboratory of Greenhouse, Faculty of Animal Husbandry Udayana University, Denpasar. Completely randomized design of 3 × 3 nested patterns was used in this study with a type of grass treatment: Axonopus compressus, Paspalum conjugatum, Oplismenus burmanni, and water levels i.e 100% field capacity (KL) (K1), 75% (KL) (K2), and 50% (KL) (K3) thus there are 9 treatment combinations namely PK1, PK2, PK3, OK1, OK2, OK3, AK1, AK2, dan AK3. Each treatment combination was repeated four times so there were 36 research pots. The variables observed were efficiency of water utilization, growth, production and growth characteristics. The results show that Paspalum conjugatum grass has the highest responsiveness on the efficiency of water utilization at giving different water levels compared to grass Axonopus compressus and Oplismenus burmanni. This study concluded that there was an increase in water utilization efficiency at the provision of 75% KL (K2) moisture content on grass Axonopus compressus and Paspalum conjugatum, whereas in grass Oplismenus burmanni the provision of different water content had no effect on improving water utilization efficiency.

Published: December 2019

Background: Allergic rhinitis and asthma are common disorders that often go undetected in the primary-care setting. As no local study was available for northern regions, we carried out the study to estimate the prevalence of allergic manifestations of rhinitis and bronchial asthma and risk factors of asthma.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study invited 450 male students from three high schools in Skaka, Aljouf, KSA. Of all, 380 responded to a self-administered Arabic questionnaire with a response rate of 84.4%. Data inquired age, academic year, exposure to animals, smoking status, present and family history of allergy, and manifestations of allergy of skin, eye, nosopharynx, and chest. Allergic rhinitis was diagnosed if two or more manifestations were present. Asthma was diagnosed if wheezes or cough occurred at night or with physical activity that may be precipitated by infection, exposure to dust, or pollens or smokes.
Results: The mean age of respondents was 16.9 years. Of all, 13.2% were current smokers, 6.1% ex-smokers, and passive smokers represented 46.3%. Family history of allergy was given by 35%, while previous diagnosis of allergy was given by 99 (26.1%). Allergic rhinitis was found in 33.2%, asthma in 37.4%. Of all asthmatic, 49.3% had allergic rhinitis, 21.6% had allergic conjunctivitis, 8.9% skin itching and rash. The number of daily cigarettes and duration of smoking were significantly associated with asthma, while raising animals showed no such association.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates a high prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and smoking among secondary school students in Aljouf region, despite the effort paid by the Ministry of Health to improve asthma awareness and promote best practices in its management. This urges the need for a comprehensive and sustained program for early diagnosis and appropriate management of asthma and allergy among adults.
FRENECTOMIA LINGUAL: RELATO DE CASO

A língua presa ou anquiloglossia é uma alteração no freio lingual a qual pode estar relacionada com um encurtamento desse freio ou com sua inserção muito próxima ao ápice da língua. Essa alteração prejudica a amamentação, podendo causar problemas na mastigação, deglutição e além de outros. Por isso, o diagnóstico precoce é essencial e devido à ausência de metodologias específicas foi desenvolvido o “Teste da Linguinha” que se tornou obrigatório em todo o Brasil no ano de 2014. Depois de diagnosticada a anquiloglossia, existem dois tipos de tratamentos, o método conservador e o método não conversador ou cirúrgico e, normalmente, eles agem em conjunto para obter um melhor resultado. Dependendo da idade da criança, a cirurgia está indicada quando há significativos comprometimentos das funções orofaciais. Desse modo, este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar um relato de caso de anquiloglossia, com tratamento de frenectomia lingual de paciente infantil, na clínica de odontopediatria do UNIFUNEC, mostrando como o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento cirúrgico são eficazes nesses casos.
