Police Contact, Procedural Injustice, and Drug Use
Authors: Baron Stephen W. , Macdonald Scott
Published: April 2020

Drawing on general strain theory, this article explores whether young people’s perceptions of procedural injustice in their interactions with police, as well as their economic dissatisfaction, are associated with drug use. We examine whether levels of police contact increase the likelihood of perceptions of procedural injustice, and if the relationships between procedural injustice and drug use as well as economic dissatisfaction and drug use are influenced by associations with drug-using peers, legal cynicism, and levels of social support. Using a sample of 449 individuals aged 16–30 years in three Canadian cities, the findings suggest that police contact has a direct relationship with drug use, but it also has an indirect relationship mediated by procedural injustice. Further, economic dissatisfaction, homelessness, legal cynicism, and drug-using peers are also associated with greater drug use. The relationships between procedural injustice and drug use and economic dissatisfaction and drug use are stronger at lower levels of social support. Findings are discussed and suggestions for future research are offered.

PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM: THE RESULTS OF THE TREATMENT ACCORDING TO THE DATA OF RENAL ARTERIES DUPLEX SCANNING
Authors: Zubryk I. V.
Published: April 2020

In the structure of arterial hypertension, primary aldosteronism (РА) ranges from 5 to 15%. Changes in intrarenal hemodynamics are due to both high blood pressure and direct aldosterone level. The purpose of the study was to analyze the results of PA treatment according to ultrasound doppler scanning of renal arteries. In general, 55 patients with PA were treated. Renal arteries duplex scanning before and after the treatment was performed in 20 patients. During treatment, the normalization of Vps, Ved, S/D, PI, PI, AT, TAMX indices was recorded in patients. The RI of the interlobar arteries slightly increased, however, it remained within the reference range. The reduction of aldosterone levels led to increase of TAMX index at the level of the renal artery trunk, S/D, RI and decrease in AT at the level of the segmental arteries, as well as increase of Ved and S/D at the level of the interlobar arteries.

In conditions of modern daily stresses and ecologically unfavorable external factors, the level of anxiety becomes one of the leading indicators of the personality development. Anxiety predominates in the lives of modern students and very often causes a decrease in work capacity, labor productivity, communication problems and can lead to the development of various somatic diseases.At this stage, the level of anxiety becomes one of the driving factors of a number of psychological problems and is considered as an "anterior neurotic condition" and is an initial stage in behavioral disorders. Correction of anxiety and its dispel are very important in preparing students for difficult life and study situations and for learning new work. A present the number of anxious boys and girls has increased; they show signs of anxiety, uncertainty, and emotional instability. The results of recent research indicate both the increase in the number of anxious young people in comparison with the last decade, and the change in the form of anxiety, which seems to be "matured", it has become deeper and more personal.

The article is devoted to the study of some classical algorithms for transport routing problems. The article describes the existing classical transport routing algorithms, such as the Clark-Wright algorithm and its extended algorithm. The main minus of Clarke-Wright’s algorithm has been revealed, which consists in the efficiency of its operation decreases as it approaches the end of the calculations, while at the beginning of the work, the solutions are relatively successful. To improve the performance of the Clark-Wright algorithm, three approaches have been proposed in its extended algorithm. Also were explored the algorithms of Mole-Jameson and Christofides, Mingozzi and Tossa, which can be used for tasks with an unspecified in advance number of vehicles, are investigated. The algorithm of the Notes, which is used for the initial processing of the problems of ZMT, is proposed. Classical improvement algorithms for MMT are investigated, in which either a single route at a time or several routes are processed. The above algorithms give more interesting results than their predecessors, and are considered optimal in terms of the use of certain resources.

É evidente que o comportamento sedentário esta relacionado com a ocorrência de diversas doenças e aumento do risco de morte. Especificamente na população jovem, estudos mostram que os níveis de atividade física e a aptidão física de crianças e adolescentes são cada vez menores. Informações sobre o desempenho e a qualidade de ações motoras de crianças e adolescentes são necessárias para a elaboração de programas de educação física, de esporte e de atividades físicas em geral. Para tanto, existem diferentes ferramentas de avaliação que visam observar as características do comportamento motor, entre elas o Functional Movement Screen e a bateria de testes do Projeto Esporte Brasil. Este estudo buscou verificar a associação entre o escore do Functional Movement Screen e as variáveis de aptidão física da bateria de testes do Projeto Esporte Brasil em escolares. Participaram do estudo 24 escolares (15 meninos) de 12 anos de idade. Os dados foram descritos utilizando-se média, desvio padrão (variáveis com distribuição normal), mediana e diferença interquartis (variáveis sem distribuição normal). Para a associação entre o escore do Functional Movement Screen e as variáveis de aptidão física foram utilizados os coeficientes de correlação de Pearson (variáveis com distribuição normal) e Spearman (variáveis sem distribuição normal). Foram encontradas associações moderadas e significativas entre o Functional Movement Screen e o teste de flexibilidade (r= 0,69 p=0,004), força explosiva de membros superiores (r=0,679 p=0,005) e teste de velocidade de 20 metros (r= -0,57 p=0,025) apenas entre os meninos. Evidencia-se com estes dados uma capacidade limitada do Functional Movement Screen estar relacionado com a aptidão física de escolares.

Published: April 2020

A construção da Usina Hidrelétrica “Belo Monte” refletiu impactos de ordem multifatorial em Altamira e região. Um desses impactos foi o deslocamento compulsório de várias famílias residentes no perímetro urbano da cidade denominado Área Diretamente Afetada (ADA). Estudos indicam que o número aproximado dessa parcela da população está em torno de 22 mil pessoas o que equivalia a 25% da população de Altamira à espoca do início da obra. Essa drástica mudança implicou diretamente nas relações já estabelecidas desses sujeitos com os espaços de lazer e de sociabilidade na cidade exigindo dos sujeitos o estabelecimento de novas relações com os espaços. O objetivo deste estudo foi estabelecer uma comparação das práticas de lazer e sociabilidade dos moradores de dois bairros da cidade de Altamira-PA, após a implantação da referida Usina. A amostra foi composta por sujeitos moradores dos dois bairros mencionados. Foram realizadas entrevistas abertas, buscando compreender quais práticas de lazer e sociabilidade são habitualmente vivenciadas pelos sujeitos da pesquisa, após a implantação do empreendimento. Os resultados indicam significativas mudanças na forma de interação dos sujeitos com os espaços de lazer e sociabilidade, o que acaba por evidenciar a capacidade proativa de que dispõe os sujeitos para usufruírem do lazer. Conclui-se que as estratégias criadas pelos moradores (re)significaram suas práticas de lazer frente à nova dinâmica da cidade o que acabou por exigir dos moradores dos espaços mencionados um esforço significativo para que se instituam novas estratégias com vistas ao acesso do lazer na cidade a partir da interação destes com os espaços e equipamentos de lazer.

Published: April 2020

Os baixos níveis de atividade física e a obesidade entre a população adolescente têm requerido estratégias urgentes em saúde pública, pois são potenciais fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os indicadores antropométricos de obesidade em adolescentes considerando diferentes formas de deslocamento para a escola. Trata-se de uma pesquisa epidemiológica, de delineamento transversal, conduzida em 818 adolescentes (375 rapazes e 443 moças) com média de idade de 16,3±1,0 anos, estudantes do ensino médio em escolas públicas estaduais do município de São José-SC, Brasil. Os adolescentes informaram, por meio de questionário autoadministrado, como normalmente se deslocavam para a escola (a pé – considerado como deslocamento ativo –, por meio de carro/moto ou ônibus – analisado como deslocamento passivo). Foram aferidas as medidas de massa corporal e estatura (para cálculo do IMC), perímetro da cintura e dobras cutâneas das regiões do tríceps e subescapular (considerando-se o somatório das duas dobras). Empregou-se o teste Kruskal-Wallis para comparar os indicadores antropométricos de obesidade entre os tipos de deslocamento realizados no percurso da residência para a escola. Os resultados apontaram que os adolescentes que se deslocavam ativamente para a escola apresentaram menores medidas de perímetro da cintura (p= 0,034). Entre os sexos, menores medidas do somatório de dobras cutâneas e perímetro da cintura foram observadas, respectivamente, entre rapazes (p= 0,043) e moças (p= 0,009) que se deslocavam de maneira ativa para a escola. Conclui-se que, nos adolescentes investigados, uma composição corporal mais saudável foi observada entre aqueles que se deslocavam de maneira ativa da residência para a escola, o que reforça a importância do deslocamento ativo como um comportamento a ser considerado pelos escolares como forma de melhorar seus níveis de atividade física bem como seus indicadores antropométricos.

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar os efeitos do Método Pilates (MP) sobre o equilíbrio postural de crianças. Foi incluída uma amostra de conveniência formada por crianças de 06 e 07 anos, ambos os sexos, avaliadas pré e pós-intervenção, por meio de medidas antropométricas (massa corporal e da estatura), e avaliação do equilíbrio postural, através da posturografia dinâmica computadorizada, com os testes de organização sensorial (TOS), divididos em seis condições e o valor de composite, que avaliam os sistemas neurais responsáveis pela manutenção da estabilidade corporal (vestibular, visual e proprioceptivo). O MP foi praticado pelas crianças durante cinco meses, com duração de 50 minutos e com frequência de uma vez por semana, totalizando 20 sessões. Após a intervenção, houve um aumento dos valores dos TOS nas condições VI e no valor de composite, no grupo geral e no grupo feminino, e aumento na condição IV no grupo geral. Foi possível identificar uma redução significativa de déficits na condição VI no grupo geral e no grupo feminino, bem como no valor de composite apenas no grupo feminino, após a intervenção. Em relação ao comportamento dos sistemas neurais, houve um melhor desenvolvimento do sistema visual, bem como uma redução dos déficits no sistema vestibular, no grupo geral. A prática dos exercícios do MP foi eficaz para a melhora do equilíbrio postural de crianças, melhorando a integração e utilização dos sistemas visual e vestibular. Quanto ao sexo, a melhora foi mais expressiva nas meninas e sugere-se que fatores comportamentais e de maturação estejam envolvidos nesse processo.

Published: April 2020

O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar o efeito das diferentes intensidades sobre a atividade mioelétrica, deslocamento angular e tempo sob tensão do vasto lateral do membro preferido durante séries múltiplas na cadeira extensora. Participaram do estudo 9 mulheres de 24±3,4 anos, 62,4±11,7 kg,1,64±0,05 m praticantes de musculação (mínimo de 6 meses). Durante 3 dias não consecutivos as voluntárias foram avaliadas no exercício de extensão de joelho na máquina apenas com o membro preferido. No primeiro dia foi realizado o teste e reteste de 10 repetições máximas (RM). No segundo e terceiro dias foram realizados sessões de quatros séries com cargas de 80% ou 90% de 10RM de forma aleatória, com intervalo de um minuto entre as séries.A atividade mioelétrica do vasto lateral (VL) foi monitorada. O tempo sob tensão e deslocamento angular também foram registrados. Considerando o deslocamento angular houve diferença significativa no P80 (série 1 = 83 ± 5,7 º; série 2 = 82,2 ± 4,1º) comparados ao P90 (série 1 = 80,5 ± 4,3 º; série 2 = 79,8 ± 4,7 º), respectivamente. Em relação a atividade mioelétrica houve aumento significativa no P80 versus P90 em todas as séries (p ? 0,05). Não houve diferença significativa entre os protocolos para o tempo sob tensão (p > 0,05). Portanto, a sessão com 90% de 10RM promoveu uma diminuição nodeslocamento angular, sem alterar o tempo sob tensão. Tal condição possivelmente favoreceu a produção de força dos extensores do joelho, devido a amplitude reduzida. Nesse sentido, indicando uma possível redução na produção de força devido a fadiga acumulada.

A Força de Preensão Manual (FPM) é bastante utilizada na prática clínica como um indicador de saúde, por representar a força muscular global. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a força de preensão manual de idosos avaliada por meio da dinamometria com as forças estimadas por diferentes equações antropométricas. Além de identificar qual das equações tem a melhor concordância para estimar FPM, quando comparada a dinamometria (padrão ouro). Trata-se de um estudo transversal que analisou dados da pesquisa epidemiológica de base populacional e domiciliar. A força de preensão manual foi mensurada por meio da dinamometria e estimada por diferentes equações antropométricas: Tveter et al., Novaes et al., e Fortes et al. As medidas antropométricas utilizadas no estudo foram: peso e estatura. O coeficiente de Lin e os gráficos de Bland Altman foram usados para observar concordância da FPM entre os diferentes métodos. Dos 331 idosos residentes na zona urbana do município de Lafaiete Coutinho, participaram do estudo 283 (85,8%) com média de idade de 73,8±8,9 anos, com idade mínima de 60 e máxima 108 anos. A média de peso corporal foi 60,11 ± 12,54 Kg, estatura média foi 154,83 ± 9,1 cm e IMC 25,05 ± 4,7 kg/m2. Os coeficientes de concordância da equação de Fortes versus dinamometria, Novaes versus dinamometria, Tveter versus dinamometria foram: 0,62; 0,60; 0,60, respectivamente. As equações antropométricas utilizadas para estimar a força de preensão manual apresentaram moderada concordância com o método padrão ouro (dinamometria).

Mudanças sociais têm alterado as possibilidades de brincar das crianças pequenas no contexto escolar, entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre o que os pré-escolares fazem no ambiente domiciliar. Desta forma, a pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar as atividades oferecidas em casa (entre elas o brincar) para crianças em idade pré-escolar, analisando a frequência, a oferta e a relação entre aspectos socioeconômico dos pais/responsáveis com as atividades oferecidas. Trata-se de um estudo de campo, realizado no município de Palmas, TO, com 133 pais/responsáveis que responderam a um questionário indicando a frequência de realização das atividades que oferecem a seus filhos e também informações sobre o perfil socioeconômico (gênero, idade, escolaridade e renda familiar). As atividades mais frequentes foram: realizar trabalhos manuais (82%); conversar com os pais (79%); praticar cálculos e leituras (77%); assistir televisão (75%) e conversar com amigos (72%). As atividades menos frequentes foram: nadar e brincar na piscina (83%), usar computador (67%), brincar no parque (58%), participar de jogos com movimento (53%) e andar de bicicleta (50%). A elevada frequência de atividades manuais, cálculo e leitura no cotidiano das crianças se assemelham as rotinas escolares que limitam o brincar e a corporeidade infantil. O perfil socioeconômico dos pais e responsáveis influenciou diretamente na oferta das atividades de brincar no parque, conversa com os pais, cálculo e leitura, andar de bicicleta e uso de computadores. A alta frequência de atividades fora da escola relacionadas à escolarização de pré-escolares aponta para o furto do lúdico também no ambiente domiciliar, o que caracteriza a necessidade de implantar medidas para reverter essa situação.

Background: Stress has always been with human despite all the progress in science and technology. Stressful conditions reduce concentration and lead to the lack of focus. This can increase human errors and bring about catastrophe. The aim of this study is to present a model to increase safety climate by controlling job stress among the personnel of Iran’s medical centers.

Methods:  In this study, 680 personnel of Iran’s hospitals were chosen in random. Demographic, job stress (35 questions) and safety climate (37 questions) questionnaires were filled. The data were inserted in SPSS 20 software. Descriptive statistics method and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were used to describe the data and evaluate the relation between the variables, respectively.

Results: The scores of safety climate and job stress were 3.40 and 3.21, respectively which imply that they are suitable. The overall fitness of the model was acceptable. In this model, χ2 = 6366.17, df= 2452, χ2/df = 2.596, RMSEA = 0.054 (90% CI = 0.000–0.084), NFI = 0.901, GFI=0.913, and CFI=0.856. In the regression analysis, there were positive significant relationships between job stress and safety climate, job stress and any of its components, and safety climate and any of the components.

Conclusion: Job stress is directly related to safety climate. Since in this study job stress was in a suitable level, it influenced the safety climate. If job stress is high, then it can affect safety climate in a negative way. We suggest that further studies be done regarding this subject.
Occupational and Environmental Cancer

Environmental pollution is one of the main causes of disease, death, and disability worldwide. International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates mortality caused by occupational cancer worldwide to be two times higher than occupational accidents. Approximately, 10 important risk factors account for 85% of all occupational cancers. Factors for occupational cancer includes Asbestos, chemicals such as aniline, chromates, dinitrotoluene, arsenic and its inorganic compounds, beryllium and its compounds, cadmium and nickel compounds, wood dust, crystalline silica, brown coal phosphors, furnace emissions, pollution caused by diesel equipment, Nano-Materials, biological agents, ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, thermal shock, shift work, stress and work while sitting. Also some other environmental factors can cause cancer which concludes air, water and soil pollutions, smoking, sunlight, radon gas, electromagnetic fields, agriculture, behavior and lifestyle (such as alcohol and tobacco consumption, diet, sleep patterns, personal habits and social and cultural environment behaviors). More than 75% of mortality due to cancer can be avoided via controlling occupational and environmental risk factors. Most of cancers are not hereditary and caused by occupational and environmental biological agents, and are potentially preventable. So, it is recommended that more researches should be performed in this field in order to detect more scientific and effective methods to detect number and type of cancers due to occupational and environmental factors.

Published: April 2020

Background: Occupational accidents cause three to four times as many deaths in developing countries as industrialized countries. There are about 14,000 accidents in Iran every year, most of them involving workers in industries, To reduce these accidents, it is necessary to use risk assessment, which is a rational approach to hazard assessment and to identify hazards and potential consequences, on individuals, materials, equipment and the environment to reduce the risks of workplace accidents and consequently work-related accidents.

Methods: This study was carried out in 1998 as an analytical-applied study in a manufacturing company. The Risk Assessment process, first with the formation of the relevant team, is selected from technical and production specialists who are more familiar with the concept of safety and risk assessment and again how to perform the Risk Assessment and Identify the risks involved, using the JSA Integrated Method for the analysis of business components and associated risks and FMEA method was trained and targeted to determine system failure states as well as assign risk priority number (RPN).

Results: Risk assessment was carried out in 4 aspects, locations, equipment, main and sub-units and activities leading to the preparation of tables related to the risk assessment guide of locations, equipment, activities, RPN calculation, risk level classification and identification forms.

Conclusions: In this study, 166 hazards were identified and, through follow-up and collaboration with senior management of the organization from 38 risks of fluids production hall, 22 corrective action (57.89%), from 46 risks of solids production hall, 37 corrective action (80.43%), from 33 risks of product warehouse, 28 corrective actions (84.84%), from 30 risks of raw materials warehouse, 21 corrective actions (70%), from 19 risk of incendiary materials, 10 corrective actions (52.63%) were performed. The overall results of the study showed that the major risk in the studied units was related to the dangers of inadequate cabling and placement of people in these work situations.

A Qualitative Study Exploring Harmful Cultural Practices and HIV Stigma in North Central Nigeria
Authors: Nalah Bala Augustine , Azman Azlinda , Singh Jamir Singh Paramjit
Published: April 2020

Harmful cultural practices have psychosocial implications on stigmatization and vulnerability to HIV infection among HIV positive living in North Central Nigeria. To understand this, we conducted qualitative interviews with purposively selected 20 diagnosed HIV positive to explore how culture influences stigmatization and HIV transmission. Data was collected using audio-recorder, transcribed, and analyzed through thematic analysis using ATLAS.ti8 software to code and analyze interview transcripts. The coded data were presented using thematic network analysis to visualize the theme, sub-themes, and quotations in a model. The findings reveal that lack of education was a significant determinant for the continual practice of harmful cultural rites, thereby increasing the risk of HIV infection and stigmatization. Hence, six cultural facilitators have been identified to include female genital mutilation, lack of education, tribal marks and scarification, postpartum sexual abstinence during breastfeeding, sexual intercourse during menstruation, and gender inequality, polygamy, and inheritance law. We conclude that educational teachings and advocacy campaigns be organized in rural schools and public places on the implications of harmful cultural practice to health and psychological well-being. We recommend that the social workers and behavioral scientists should collaborate with other agencies to employ a behavioral-based intervention in eliminating cultural practices and HIV stigma.
Liv Strömquist's Fruit of Knowledge and the Gender of Comics
Authors: Classon Frangos Mike
Published: April 2020

The recent boom in feminist comics by Swedish artists has produced a body of work that has only recently come to the attention of English-language readers. This article focuses on the comics of Liv Strömquist, specifically Fruit of Knowledge: The Vulva vs. The Patriarchy (2018), the first of her booklength works to be published in English translation. Strömquist’s text is situated in the broader context of feminist comics, particularly the work of Julie Doucet. Drawing on Swedish sources including reviews, interviews and comics scholarship, the article examines how Strömquist uses the comics medium to challenge and re-signify dominant representations of gender, sexuality and the body.
Inner Unity and Regional Diversity in Unified Germany
Authors: Welsh Helga A.
Published: April 2020

German unification prompted expectations of harmonization in political culture and promises of equivalent living conditions across the federation. Almost three decades later, the revival of narratives based on East-West differences has raised concerns whether inner unity, a term coined to describe political and material convergence across the former East-West divide, has stagnated or fallen behind. Frustration with the process of unification based on East-West contrasts, however, tends to downplay achievements and, importantly, regional diversity across the federation. I advocate a shift in perspective to the subnational (Land and communal) levels and illustrate regional variation with examples that address equivalent living conditions and demographic change. North-South differences coexist with East-West and within-region differences, suggesting not two but four or five Germanies. The eastern regions still occupy a special place in the unified Germany; they contribute to agenda setting and policy making with important implications across the federation.
The Correlation between Low Birth Weight and Stunting in 24-59 Month Children in Haya-Haya Village, Western Limboto Sub-District, Gorontalo Regency
Authors: Badjuka Bun Yamin M.
Published: April 2020

Undergoing relatively slower growth, infants with low birth weight (henceforth, LBW) sometimes suffer from digestive tract disorders that leads to deficiency of nutrients supply within the body. The 2018 data in Gorontalo Regency reported that 312 under-fives suffer from LBW. This study intends to analyze whether or not LBW contributes to stunting cases in 24-59 months infants in Haya-haya village, Western Limboto sub-district, Gorontalo regency. The analytical observational survey study employed cross-sectional approach. The study treated the population of all babies with LBW as the sample by total sampling technique. Moreover, it involved LBW as the independent variable and stunting as the dependent variable. The statistical test result indicates that χ2count > χ2 table with ρ value of 0.00 < 0.05; therefore, signifying that H0 is denied and Ha is accepted. All in all, there is a significant correlation between LBW and stunting cases in 24-59 months babies in the research site.
The Founding of The University of Melbourne, 1852-1855
Authors: Selleck R. J. W.
Published: April 2020

In part this paper is about ideas, especially those held by some men in nineteenth-century Melbourne who set about establishing a university. They had carried a set of ideas about what a university should be with them as they journeyed across the world, some of them in search of a promised land. They found that turning these ideas into reality was complex and disappointing, but their struggle sheds light on the social, political, and educational life of Antipodean society.
Characterizing strongly admissible sets
Authors: Dunne Paul E.
Published: April 2020

The concept of strong admissibility plays an important role in dialectical proof procedures for grounded semantics allowing, as it does, concise proofs that an argument belongs to the grounded extension without having necessarily to construct this extension in full. One consequence of this property is that strong admissibility (in contrast to grounded semantics) ceases to be a unique status semantics. In fact it is straightforward to construct examples for which the number of distinct strongly admissible sets is exponential in the number of arguments. We are interested in characterizing properties of collections of strongly admissible sets in the sense that any system describing the strongly admissible sets of an argument framework must satisfy particular criteria. In terms of previous studies, our concern is the signature and with conditions ensuring realizability. The principal result is to demonstrate that a system of sets describes the strongly admissible sets of some framework if and only if that system has the property of being decomposable.
