Precarity: causes, effects and consequences of insecure working and living conditions in a multicultural, rural area of northern Italy (South Tyrol)
Authors: Tschöll Christine
Published: January 2020

The research project deals with the current issue of precarity, its mechanisms, risks, effects, coping strategies as well as coping competences and addresses the impact of work-based insecurities, rising social inequalities within and across nations, with a specific regional focus on South Tyrol - a multicultural, rural area in northern Italy, bordering with Austria. Finally, it is important to identify possible innovative solutions for the labour market, Human Resources strategies and social policies. The concept of work will be related to all securitized fundamental rights, their socialization context, the global change of values and the social change in the welfare state. The recent transformation from discourses on inequality and poverty towards social exclusion and inclusion indicates a conceptual shift in the societal management of social inequalities. The global financial crisis has highlighted the connectedness between corporate and household risk behaviour and management, and their socially inequitable effects. The interdisciplinary view enables a focus on multiple insecurities and how they interact to produceprecarious work relations, in reference to working conditions and the experience of social exclusion, the links between de-regulation, liberalization and the individualization of employment risks, but also the development of interest representation and social organizations for supporting labour market outsiders. The paper describes the current process of defining the research design, preliminary reflections for the case study and shows first outcomes of the project.

Published: January 2020

PURPOSE The purpose of this manuscript is to present the comorbidity between epilepsy and mental disorders. Epilepsy is a widespread, socially significant disease that has been the subject of medical literature and practice since ancient times.
METHODS We have used a contingent of 100 epileptics, which were treated at the Neurological Clinic of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Prof. Dr. Stoyan Kirkovich" in Stara Zagora. RESULTS We found that in percentage ratio, out of the epileptic patients eighteen had mental illness. Out of these eighteen, depressive patients were 27.8%, which fell within the range indicated in the world literature.
CONCLUSIONS As a conclusion, we suggest that the clinical assessment of the quality of life in epilepsy provides some opportunities for its improvement and should take its place in the bio-psycho-social approach to the disease.

Published: January 2020

Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze current research trends on parenting stress of unmarried mothers in Korea and explore the related concepts. Methods: For searching the literature, KMbase, Korea Med, RISS, NDSL was used. Fourteen studies from 2009 to 2019 were selected, and National Institute of Health (NIH) Study Quality Assessment Tool (SQAT) was applied. Results: Among the 14 studies, most frequently used study design was correlational study (64.3%), and majority of the study (78.6%) was conducted in the field of social welfare. Only one study was found in the nursing journal. Related concepts can be categorized as individual (cognitive, emotional, and behavioral) factors, and social/environmental factors. Among these, self-esteem, parenting self-efficacy, and health perception in cognitive concept domain, depression in emotional concept domain, parenting behavior in behavioral domain, and lastly, social and interpersonal support were studied as related factors with parenting stress. Overall parenting stress level was higher than moderate, and it was positively related to depression, and negatively related to health perception and social support. Various study tools were used even the original foreign tool was the same, thereby comparisons among studies were difficult. Conclusions: Future studies are suggested to explore unmarried mother’s physical health problems as well as emotional problems, and to develop reliable measurement tools which can be used in Korean situation. Also, various nursing intervention programs for health promotion and child rearing competence for unmarried mothers should be developed.
Association between Physical Activity and Perceived Stress among Korean Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Using 2017 the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Data
Authors: Heo Jaeheon
Published: January 2020

Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the association between the high perceived stress of adults and the types and amounts of their physical activities. Methods: The subjects consisted of 5,624 adults aged 20 and older from the 2017 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. The three types of physical activity (aerobic activity, muscular exercise and walking) were investigated and the amounts of physical activity were calculated with time used in each activity were calculated. To examine the association between the high perceived stress and physical activity, complex samples multiple logistic regression analyses were performed with controlling participants’ demographic and socio-economic, health status and health behavior characteristics. Results: There were 1,539 people (27.36%) in the high stress perceived group, and the subjects in the high stress perceived group seemed to perform less time to walking (weighted mean: 217.23 minutes/ week) than the low or not stress perceived group (weighted mean: 241.09 minutes/week). The proportion of subjects doing muscular exercise 3 or more days in a week seemed to higher in the lower stress perceived group than the high stress perceived group. The multiple logistic regression analyses results showed significant correlations between walking or doing muscular exercise and high-perceived stress (p<0.01). Additionally, the proportion of activity at work seemed to be a significant factor in the perceived stress level. Conclusions: There appears to be a correlation between physical activity especially muscular activity and perceived stress, such that further studies will lead to improvements in stress management strategies.

Published: January 2020

Zirve
O2 tüketim düzeyi ( VO2pik) veren en yüksek güç çıktısı (aerobik limit güç; ALG)
şiddetli ve aşırı egzersiz alanlarını ayıran önemli bir eşiktir ve sporcularda
bireysel bir ALG belirleyebilmek için çok sayıda sabit yüklü tüketici test
yapmak gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; sporcuların ALG’lerini tek bir
seansta belirleyebilecek bir yaklaşım önermektir. Araştırmaya iyi antrene 12
bisiklet sporcusu katılmıştır ( VO2maks64,7±4,2 mL∙dk-1∙kg-1; Zirve
Güç (ZG): 374,1±65,7 W).VO2pik düzeyinin belirlenmesi için lineer yük artışlı (ramp)
testler uygulatılmıştır (+1 W·2 s-1) ve protokollerin sonunda
ulaşılan final güç üretim değerleri (FG) ortalama yanıt zamanı (mean response time: MRT) düzeltmesi uygulanmadan (FGMRT) ve uygulanarak
(FGMRT) değerlendirilmiştir. Sporcuların VO2maks’ı ve bu değeri veren ZG değerleri, doğrulama testleri
uygulanarak bulunmuştur. Devamında sporcuların ALG (VO2maks’a %5’ten daha yakın VO2 değeri veren en yüksek güç çıktısı) değerleri, 15 W’lık
intervallerle bitkinlikle sonlanan sabit yüklü testler yoluyla ayrı günlerde
taranmıştır. FGMRT ile ALG değerleri arasındaki fark anlamlı
değildir (FGMRT: 435,2±50,8; ALG: 435,4±62,5 W, p=0,968).
Bland-Altman sonuçları yüksek uyum göstermiştir (Bias=0,20±17,6 W; p=0,968). FGMRT,
gerçek ZG’nin %117,5±8,8’ine karşılık gelirken, belirlenen ALG değeri ZG’nin
%117,1±7,37’sine karşılık gelmiştir (p=0,759). Diğer yandan ramp testinden elde
edilen en yüksek 15-s VO2 ortalamaları da ALG yükündeki VO2 yanıtlarıyla benzerdir ( Ramp Test: 62,3±4,9 ml∙dk-1∙kg-1,
%96,2; ALG: 61,5±4,3 ml∙dk-1∙kg-1, %95; p=0,119 ). Sonuç
olarak, ALG’yi belirleyebilmek için ayrı günlerde çok sayıda bitkinlikle
sonlanan test yapmak yerine, tek seansta bir ramp test uygulamasının VO2maks’ı düşük tahmin ettiği ancak ALG’yi ve bu değere
karşılık gelen VO2 yanıtını belirleyebilmenin oldukça pratik bir yöntemi
olabileceği bulunmuştur.

The focus of this paper is on the role of audiovisual archives for PSBs with regards to their function as democratic and inclusive institutions. We discuss the importance of audiovisual archives as integrated parts of PSBs, argue that accessibility of archives is a universal service and as such, a fundamental factor for PSBs to fulfil their democratic functions in the 21st century. We investigate structural, legal and institutional factors that impact on the state of archives using empirical evidence from four archives of PSBs and focus on four key elements of accessibility, namely equality, cross-border access, media literacy and contextualisation, and archives awareness. Our research highlights some of the struggles and contradictions that PSBs find themselves into as a result of pressures and tensions between institutions, the market and the citizens.

This article tells the story of the value of a part of the DR archives which has not been recognized before. The value of local stories and how a tent filled with local archive materials in interactive installations became a success. The article uses theories about people’s interaction with social media to figure out why visitors in the tent were amazed by the local events, and to understand why all age groups were attracted to the interactive tools. The article also discusses problems of gathering statistics and gives examples of similar projects, which focus on local audiovisual materials.
Producing Online Youth Fiction in a Nordic Public Service Context
Authors: Andersen Mads Møller , Sundet Vilde Schanke
Published: January 2020

This article investigates the conditions for making online youth fiction in a public service context at a time when young people increasingly are abandoning both legacy mass media and linear flow television to consume and share content online. The article’s starting point is the production of online youth fiction in two Nordic public service institutions, the Norwegian NRK and the Danish DR, and it discusses how digitisation and new competitors present both challenges and opportunities for institutions such as these. Furthermore, the article discusses the organisation of online youth fiction in both institutions and investigates how organisational strategies and production cultures come into play in each of these broadcasters’ early signature youth series: the widely popular online teen drama SKAM (NRK, 2015-2017) and the far less known youth series Anton 90 (DR, 2015). Our findings show that it was the pressure imposed by digitisation and new competitors that led these institutions to take new risks with their youth fiction production, changing their production patterns to make short-form drama series tailored to online streaming, and ultimately treating online youth fiction as a distinctly different task than “regular” fiction.
THERMODYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION OF AN IRREVERSIBLE REGENERATED BRAYTON HEAT ENGINE USING MODIFIED ECOLOGICAL CRITERIA
Authors: ARORA Ranjana
Published: January 2020

The modified configuration of regenerated Brayton heat engine along with supplementary addition of heat in its irreversible mode is thermodynamically investigated and optimized. The definite temperature differential between system/reservoir is the source of external irreversibility and the losses because of rubbing/friction in turbine/compressor, regeneration heat losses and losses due to pressure drop are the internal irreversibilities considered in this analysis. The difference of output power and the exergy destruction rate, termed as ecological function, is thermodynamically optimized. It is found that regenerative effectiveness plays a vital role in obtaining maximum possible ecological function whereas output power and 1st law efficiency predominantly depends on the cold side effectiveness in the system. It is also observed that the thermodynamic performance of proposed system/device is prominently depends on the efficiency of the turbine and consequently less dependent on compressor efficiency. The major outcome of this analysis is that with the inclusion of additional thermal heats at constant temperature conditions, various performance parameters i.e., output power (about 13%) and 1st law efficiency (about 9%) of the model get improved significantly in comparison with the conventional gas power plant. Moreover, the model investigated in this study yields lesser output power, first law efficiency and ecological function and exactly follows the results/outcomes presented in the available literature at α1=α2=1, which are the pressure recovery coefficients at two ends.
Narrativas fotográficas: uma contribuição para a formação do professor
Authors: Trezzi Clóvis , Oliveira Moyses Romero Borges , Berkenbrock-Rosito Margarete May
Published: January 2020

Este artigo bibliográfico tem por objetivo desenvolver a ideia de que a formação de professores não pode ser restrita ao espaço acadêmico. Ela é um itinerário que se estende por toda a vida do professor e, como tal, precisa de instrumentos que ajudem neste processo. Uma das ferramentas, embasada em Ricoeur (2010), são as histórias de vida que visam a formação da identidade narrativa do professor. Compreendendo-se como narrativa não apenas a oral ou textual, mas qualquer outra forma de contar a própria história, este artigo desenvolve a ideia de que a utilização de fotografias é uma maneira de narrar-se. Entrar em contato com a própria história a partir de fotografias é uma forma de aprofundar a reflexão sobre si e buscar o desenvolvimento da identidade docente. O artigo conclui que o processo de crescimento pessoal, que ocorre por toda a vida, pode ser potencializado utilizando-se esta ferramenta que vai ajudar o professor a conhecer-se melhor e, assim, perceber-se como educador.

Published: January 2020

O presente estudo tem por finalidade identificar as representações sociais da comunidade escolar de Mato Grosso do Sul, sobre a diversidade de gênero, especialmente em relação à homossexualidade. Para identificar as representações sociais dos participantes da pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, foi utilizado como instrumento um roteiro de entrevistas semiestruturadas, as quais foram gravadas em áudio, transcritas, sistematizadas e analisadas. Participaram do estudo um total de seis pessoas, sendo um avô de menino da educação infantil, um professor de educação infantil, duas gestoras escolares de educação infantil e duas mães de crianças de anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Os resultados foram organizados a partir das seguintes categorias: representações sociais relativas à homossexualidade em âmbito familiar; preconceitos relacionados aos docentes do gênero masculino que atuam na área da educação infantil, como se eles fossem gays por trabalhar nessa área; aceitação da orientação sexual dos professores, por se entender que a prioridade é a competência profissional. Conclui-se que as relações de gênero e diversidade encontram-se presentes na escola e que o preconceito parece ser maior quando se trata de homossexuais do gênero masculino.
A inclusão no ensino superior: uma reflexão
Authors: Viera Alboni Marisa Dudeque Pianovski , Nascimento Thatyanne Gradowski Farias da Costa do
Published: January 2020

A educação inclusiva é considerada uma ação política, social, cultural e pedagógica, capaz de desencadear reações em defesa do aprendizado de não apenas um, mas dos alunos como um todo. Na educação superior, o aumento da oferta de vagas em vestibulares apenas não é suficiente para garantir que o aluno incluso não seja segregado. Nesse sentido, entende-se necessária uma diferente abordagem, com metodologias de ensino que propiciem um modelo de educação apto a propiciar a inclusão dos alunos. O objetivo desse estudo é, portanto, refletir sobre a inclusão no ensino superior, bem como sobre formas de ensino que possam auxiliar o educador no trabalho com alunos de inclusão. O apoio teórico está em estudos de Farias, Santos e Silva (2009), Mendes (2006) e outros. A pesquisa tem caráter bibliográfico e documental. Como resultado, foi possível perceber que a inclusão no ensino superior é um processo desafiador, sendo necessário um trabalho conjunto para que esse objetivo seja alcançado.

Published: January 2020

O Empreendedorismo está ganhando cada vez mais espaço nas universidades uma vez que propõe diferentes caminhos para a construção de um futuro pessoal e profissional para os universitários. A partir dessa consideração, objetivamos investigar qual a importância desse tema na vida de estudantes universitários que participaram da disciplina Empreendedorismo, em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior, localizada no interior do Rio Grande do Sul, durante o semestre/A de 2018. Este estudo seguiu a abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, sendo que os dados, obtidos por meio de um questionário, foram analisados a partir de aproximações com a Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 2012). Averiguou-se que a maioria dos estudantes entendem que suas habilidades empreendedoras foram desenvolvidas ou aprimoradas durante as aulas. Contudo, também percebem que poderiam tê-las desenvolvido, ou estarem desenvolvendo, ao longo da vida, isto é, desde a Educação Básica e não apenas no Ensino Superior. Observamos nos relatos que os jovens universitários se sentem mais preparados para os desafios futuros, revelando a importância de um perfil empreendedor.

Published: January 2020

Two assays were conducted to evaluate the effect of biofertilizer suspensions applied to Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC. plants on Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes) bioecology. In the first assay (residual effect), the following treatments were tested: a) Distilled water (Control); b) Biofert - biofertilizer produced in a single bioreactor; c) Biomix – a mix of biofertilizers produced in four bioreactors; and d) Bio+VL - Biofert + Verticillium lecaniiI (Zimm.) Viégas. In the second assay (systemic effect) only two suspensions were tested: a) Biofert and b) Distilled water (control). In the first assay, the biofertilizer was applied once on the whole plant and mites were confined in arenas on both leaflets. In the second assay, the plants were sprayed weekly only in one leaflet and the mites were confined in arenas on the non-sprayed leaflet. In both bioassays, bioecological parameters related to survival and oviposition were evaluated. The biofertilizer effects on potential population growth during the first generation were measured by fertility life table parameters (net reproductive rate (Ro), mean generation time (T), doubling time (DT), intrinsic rate of increase (Rm) and finite rate of increase (). The biofertilizer had adverse effects on both survival and oviposition parameters. The net reproduction rates (Ro) were of 18.1; 12.9; 12.5 and 10.5 females/female (assay I) and 19.4 and 13.0 females/female (assay II), respectively for the treatments in the above-mentioned orders. These results show that the biofertilizer reduced the potential population growth of B. phoenicis in either residual or systemic effect assays.

Background: Hematogones are normal B-cell precursor which can be seen in different physiological and pathological conditions. Due to variation in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) blasts immunophenotyping and interference of hematogones in minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment, precise discrimination of hematogones is very crucial.  The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression pattern of surface markers in hematogones and compare them with lymphoblasts.
Material and Methods: In this applied study, flow cytometric analysis was performed using Coulter FC-500 and MXP software in 4-color combination and 6 different tubes. In this study, 85 patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were evaluated. Out of these patients, 45 were boys and 40 were girls. Patients aged from 1 to 15 years old. In addition, 27 bone marrow samples from other patients aged 4 to 18 years were included in this investigation. These samples had been obtained for other diagnostic purposes, such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Results: During flow cytometric analysis, hematogones showed expressions of CD19, CD20, CD22, CD10, CD45, CD81, CD123, CD9, CD34 (partial expression), and tdt (partial expression). In these patients, hematgones were negative for CD66c expression. Lymphoblastic cells were positive for CD19, CD20 (in some cases), CD22, CD10, CD45, CD81, CD123, CD58, CD9, CD66c, CD34 (in most cases), and TDT. CD81 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) in hematogones was higher than that in lymphoblasts. (112.5 (30-251) vs. 17.5 (5-30); P<0.0001)
Conclusion: According to findings of this study, it seems that the use of CD81, CD58, CD123, CD66c, CD9, and CD81 MFI in combination with B-Cells associated markers can be very effective in differentiating hematogone from lymphoblast.

Published: January 2020

Indonesia, as the country with the world’s largest Muslim population, has issued a regulation on halal product assurance (UU JPH) Act No. 33/2014. Furthermore, the consumers’ care on the halal food is another significant element in the implementation of this regulation. This study concerns on how the students of Islamic Senior High School (MA) in Surakarta care on the halal food products. This is a quantitative study in which data were collected using questioners. There are 430 selected students participated in this study. Data was analyzed using descriptive analysis by counting the mean score and classified into four categories namely; do not care, less care, quite care, and care. Findings of this research showed that most students are “quite care” for halal product, but they mostly did not ask to the merchants whether the product they bought to have “haram” ingredients or not. Moreover, the majority of students sometimes checked the halal label on the product, while others did not check them at all. Overall, the students’ care level toward halal product is categorized as at the “quite care”. This result indicated that it needs more concern from the related stakeholders on how the students can be more attentive toward halal food products.
Dyonic and Magnetic Black Holes with Rational Nonlinear Electrodynamics
Authors: Kruglov Sergey
Published: January 2020

The principles of causality and unitarity are studied within rational nonlinear electrodynamics proposed earlier. We investigate dyonic and magnetized black holes and show that in the self-dual case, when the electric charge equals the magnetic charge, corrections to Coulomb's law and Reissner-Nordstrom solutions are absent. In the case of the magnetic black hole, the Hawking temperature, the heat capacity and the Helmholtz free energy are calculated. It is shown that there are second-order phase transitions and it was demonstrated that at some range of parameters the black holes are stable.

This study aimed to 1) obtain growth regulators composition suitable in inducing embryogenic callus, 2) determine the effect of gamma ray irradiation on the growth and development of somatic embryos, and 3) obtain lethal dose (LD) 20 and 50 values in Robusta coffee  BP 436. The study was conducted at the Tissue Culture Laboratory, Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute,  from May 2017 to December 2018. Explants used were young leaves of Robusta coffee BP 436. Callus induction used ½ MS media with 2,4-D (4.52 μM) and 2-iP (0.00; 4.93; 9.86; 14.79; and 19.72 μM) treatment. Mutation induction was performed using gamma radiation dosed at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 Gy treatments. The regeneration media was ½ MS containing GA3 (0 and 1 mg/l). The study used a complete randomized design with 10 replications. The results showed the best combination of plant growth regulator to induce the callus was 2.4-D 4.52 μM + 2-iP 19.72 μM. The fresh weight of cultures was inhibited above 30 Gy, whereas the number of somatic embryos decreased at doses above 10 Gy. Addition of GA3 1 mg/l in regeneration media increased the number of somatic embryos in torpedo phase, but not in gamma irradiation exposed calluses. The LD20 and LD50 of Robusta coffee BP 436 are 16.81 and 28.52 Gy, respectively.

Macadamia can be propagated using seeds. However, the seed is difficult to germinate due to shell hardness. This study aimed to determine the proper combination of seed scarification needed to break the seed coat using rotational soaking and drying at varied temperatures. The experiment was conducted at Manoko Experimental Station and BPTP of West Java from December 2018 to April 2019, used a Randomized Complete Block Design in 15 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were: (1) water soak (WS) 24oC+drying 35oC; (2) WS 35oC (first day)+WS 24oC+drying 35oC; (3) WS 50oC ( first day)+WS 24oC+drying 35oC; (4) WS 35oC everyday+drying 35oC; (5) WS 50oC everyday+drying 35oC; (6) WS 24oC+drying 40oC; (7) WS 35oC (first day)+WS 24oC+drying 40oC; (8) WS 50oC (first day)+WS 24oC+drying 40oC; (9) WS 35oC everyday+drying 40oC; (10) WS 50oC every day+drying 40oC; (11) WS 24oC+drying 45oC; (12) WS 35oC (first day)+WS 24oC+drying 45oC; (13) WS 50oC (first day)+WS 24oC+drying 45oC; (14) WS 35oC everyday+drying 45oC; and (15) WS 50oC everyday+drying 45oC. Variable observed were moisture content of seeds, rate and percentage of seeds cracking, and length of seeds radicle. The results showed that alternating temperature during soaking and drying affected seed scarification. The fastest seed breaking rate is 3.27 days in soaking at 50oC everyday for 18 hours, with 45oC drying temperature for 6 hours, the percentage of seed breaking reached 87.67%.

Background: Diabetes is the most prevalent disease resulted from metabolic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of training based on health belief model (HBM) on oral hygiene-related behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: This study was conducted as an educational randomized controlled trial (single blind) on 120 patients with type 2 diabetes referring to a diabetes clinic selected through systematic sampling, who were assigned to two groups of control (N=60) and intervention (N=60). The data collection tool was a valid and reliable questionnaire based on (HBM) which was completed for both groups before the intervention. Then, the intervention group received 4 sessions of training based on health belief model in one month, and the same questionnaire was completed again after 3 months and data were analyzed using SPSS 20 applying the t-test, paired t-tests, Chi square, Mann-whitney test and Wilcoxon test analysis. The significance level was considered at 0.05.
Results: Three months after the intervention, awareness of the patients and perceived susceptibility, benefits, self-efficacy, internal cue to action and performance in oral and dental hygiene-related behaviors had a significant increase in the intervention group (p<0.05). So that before the intervention, the mean performance score of the intervention and control groups were
2.16±0.71 and 2.28±0.76, respectively, and no significant difference was observed (p> 0.05). However, after the intervention, the mean performance score of the intervention group (3.25±0.49) was significantly more than that of the control group (2.66 ±0.56) (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Our results suggested that the training the patients with diabetes based on HBM and performing active follow-ups can enhance their skills in the field of oral and dental hygiene-related behaviors. Also, control, monitoring and training follow-up is recommended during these programs.

Background: Rabies has a worldwide distribution in continental regions of Africa, Asia and the Latin America. Globally, the case fatality rate is 100% once a clinical sign is developed. Poor public awareness towards rabies is one of the major obstacles in any prevention and control scheme of the diseases. The study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) about rabies and associated factors among household heads in Mekelle city, Northern Ethiopia, 2016.
Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from October to November 2016 with a total of 633 study participants. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire and entered to EPI-Info 3.5.4 and coded, cleaned and analyzed using SPSS version 20 software. Bi variable and multivariable analysis was done to identify factors associated with knowledge, attitude and practice about rabies. Variables having p< 0.05 was considered as statistically significant at 95%CI.
Results: Of 633 study participants, 357 (56.4%) were females and 239 (37.8%) were 18-35 years old. Among the study participants, 56.1% (95%CI=52.2, 59.9), 56.2% (95%CI=52.4, 60.1) and 61.3% (95%CI=57.5, 65.1) had good level of knowledge, attitude and practice on the prevention and control of rabies respectively. Being female (AOR=1.50, 95%CI=1.05, 2.13), dog owner (AOR=1.68, 95%CI=1.17, 2.41) and participants who had training on rabies (AOR=2.22, 95%CI=1.53, 3.21) were found to have good knowledge. Married participants (AOR=2.19, 95%CI=1.16, 4.16), participants who owned dog (AOR=2.64, 95%CI=1.80, 3.86) and those encountered dog bite (AOR=2.24, 95%CI=1.23, 4.10) were found to have positive attitude towards rabies. Similarly, dog ownership (AOR=11.85, 95%CI=7.16, 19.6) was found to be associated with good practice.
Conclusion: This study showed that more than half of the respondents had good knowledge, attitude and practice about the prevention and control of rabies.

Published: January 2020

Background: Myopia is increasing in prevalence and is currently recognized as a significant public health issue worldwide, particularly in China. Once myopia develops, appropriate clinical interventions need to be prescribed to slow its progression. Currently, several evidences indicate that myopic defocus (MD) retards eye growth and myopia progression. However, no clinical trials have compared the outcomes of different MD spectacle lenses in the same observational group, especially in mainland China. The aim of the present study is to compare the myopia control efficiency of two different MD spectacle lenses, i.e., defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) lenses and Apollo progressive addition spectacle lenses (PALs).
Methods: The trial is designed as a 3-year, prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial of school children treated with DIMS lenses and PALs. A total of 600 Chinese primary school children aged 6-12 years will be recruited, and each group is intended to include 300 subjects. The inclusion criteria are myopia between −1.00 and −5.00 D and astigmatism ≤1.50 D. The follow-up time points will be 1 month (m), 3 m, 6 m, 12 m, 18 m, 24 m, 30 m, and 36 m. The primary outcome will be determined by the difference in cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) between baseline and the last follow-up visit between the two groups. The secondary outcome is the axial length, and the exploratory outcomes include ocular biometric measures, peripheral refraction, binocular vision, accommodation, compliance and the results of questionnaires related to wearing experiences.
Discussion: The present study will be the first randomized controlled trial in primary school myopic children with the treatment of DIMS lenses and PALs in China. The results will indicate whether and how much different MD mechanisms retards myopia progression and axial elongation. In addition, the comparison will provide information on the clinical efficacy and safety of DIMS lenses and PALs, including information related to wearing experiences and visual functions

Background: The rate of cesarean section is increasing in all over the world with different drafts in various countries. This growth increases unpleasant outcomes of delivery. Recent studies explained the benefits of date palm fruit on labor process improvement. Date fruit can be considered as a factor for increasing vaginal delivery and also reducing the frequency of caesarean section in order to prevent its great complications. This systematic review has been designed to review clinical studies that investigate the effects of date palm fruit on labor outcomes (duration of labor stages, bishop score, and frequency of cesarean section) compared with routine cares.
Methods: This study was performed in 2019. Required data has been collected from electronic databases and manual searches. All clinical trials evaluating the effects of date palm fruit on labor and delivery that were published from January 2000 to August 2019 in English and Persian languages, were incorporated in this systematic review. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated according to the risk of bias assessment of Cochrane handbook of systematic reviews, and were then reported using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement.
Results: Nine studies were included in the qualitative and quantitative synthesis. Meta-Analysis showed that date fruit consumption can significantly reduce active phase of labor (three trials with 380 participants; (MD= -109.3, 95%CI (-196.32, -22.29; I2=89%), P=0.01), and also it can significantly improve the bishop score (two trials with 320 participants; MD = 2.45, 95%CI (1.87, 3.04; I2=0%), P<0.00001). Date fruit consumption had no effects on the duration of first, second, and third stages of labor, and the frequency of cesarean section.
Conclusion: Date can reduce the duration of active phase and improve the bishop score; however, due to from the low to mediate quality of the studies; it seems that the other studies are needed to prove these results better than this.

Background
Advances in genome technology have simplified a new comprehension of the genetic and historical processes crucial to rapid phenotypic evolution under domestication. To get new insight into the genetic basis of the dog domestication process, we conducted whole-genome sequence analysis of three wolves and three dogs from Iran which covers the eastern part of the Fertile Crescent located in Southwest Asia where the independent domestication of most of the plants and animals has been documented and also high haplotype sharing between wolves and dog breeds has been reported.
Results
Higher diversity was found within the wolf genome compared with the dog genome. A total of 12.45 million SNPs were detected in all individuals (10.45 and 7.82 million SNPs were identified for all the studied wolves and dogs, respectively) and a total of 3.49 million small Indels were detected in all individuals (3.11 and 2.24 million small Indels were identified for all the studied wolves and dogs, respectively). A total of 10,571 copy number variation regions (CNVRs) were detected across the 6 individual genomes, covering 154.65 Mb, or 6.41%, of the reference genome (canFam3.1). Further analysis showed that the distribution of deleterious variants in the dog genome is higher than the wolf genome. Also, annotation of genomic variations showed that the proportion of genomic variations in the intron and intergenic regions in the wolf genome is higher than that in the dog genome, while the proportion of the coding sequences and 3'-UTR in the dog genome is higher than that in the wolf genome. The genes related to the olfactory and immune systems were enriched in the set of the structural variants (SVs) identified in this work. Generally, genes engaged in digestion and metabolism and neurological process had an important role in the process of dog domestication.
Conclusions
Our results showed more deleterious mutations and coding sequence variants in the domestic dog genome than those in wolf genome. By providing the first Iranian dog and wolf variome map, our findings contribute to understanding the genetic architecture of the dog domestication.
