Başarılı bir yönetimin en önemli göstergelerinden biri, yöneticinin birlikte çalıştığı insanları etkilemede ve hedeflere bağlılıklarını sağlamadaki başarısıdır. Yöneticilerin etkileme davranışları, diğer konuların yanında, çalışanların iş yerinde yaşadığı stres ve çalışma performansını da çeşitli şekillerde etkileyebilmektedir. Bu araştırmada, yöneticiler tarafından sıkça kullanılan beş farklı etkileme taktiğinin çalışanların iş performansı ve iş stresi üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Araştırma verileri, Türkiye’de kimya sektöründe çalışan 293 beyaz yakalı çalışandan anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, meşrulaştırma yoluyla etkileme, mantıksal ikna yoluyla etkileme, karşılıklı değişim yoluyla etkileme, koalisyon taktiği yoluyla etkileme ve sokulganlık yoluyla etkileme taktiklerinin çalışanların iş performansını istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Mantıksal ikna yoluyla etkileme taktiğinin iş stresini de negatif yönde etkilediği anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca iş performansı ile iş stresi arasında negatif yönde ve anlamlı bir ilişkinin varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu bulgular tartışılarak, yöneticilere ve araştırmacılara yönelik çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur.
Validity and Reliability of the 8-Item Inventory of Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood in a Sample of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
Authors: Kamp Kendra J. , Given Barbara , Wyatt Gwen
Published: November 2020

Background and Purpose

The purpose was to examine the 8-item Inventory of Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA-8) among 61 emerging adults (ages 18–29) with the chronic condition of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods

An online continence sample of participants' ages 18–29 years with a self-reported diagnosis of IBD completed a questionnaire including IDEA-8, demographic, and clinical characteristics.

Results

The exploratory factor analysis identified a three-factor structure. The three subscales had acceptable internal consistency (α = .74–.86). Two factors (identity exploration/feeling in-between and instability) were associated with demographics. The factors were not associated with clinical characteristics.

Conclusions

Developmental features of emerging adults, as measured by the IDEA-8 for those with IBD, may retain conceptual consistency with healthy adults, but demonstrate a restructuring in factor analysis.

Authors: Estrem Hayley Henrikson , Pados Britt Frisk , Park Jinhee , Thoyre Suzanne , McComish Cara , Nguyen Tam
Published: November 2020

Background and Purpose

Families of children with feeding disorder face significant challenges in supporting their child’s feeding, growth, and development. The Feeding Impact Scales were developed to assess how child feeding impacts parent and family.

Methods

Items were adapted from an existing scale. Parents of children with feeding difficulty completed the online survey. Item response theory (IRT) analyses were used to evaluate and reduce items. Internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, and readability were tested.

Results

IRT analyses (n = 317) identified 12 items for the Parent Impact and 13 items for the Family Impact. Internal reliability for the scales were acceptable. Convergent validity was supported.

Conclusions

The Feeding Impact Scales have evidence of reliability and validity. They can be utilized in practice and research.

Published: November 2020

Background: Participatory research approaches aim to hear the voices of those who give and receive services in order to co-create insights into future improvements in care experiences. Appreciative inquiry is one such participatory approach. Its purpose is generativity, which is defined as helping people to see old things in new ways. Generativity shows much potential but there is little research describing the ‘how to’ of doing this in practice. This article describes the how to of generativity in the dream phase of an appreciative inquiry study. Aim: The aim was to share and co-analyse, with emergency nurses, family member experiences of being in an emergency department with an older person with dementia. Methods: Three critical methods were used to generate data – storytelling, appreciative framing and dialogue, and collaborative sensemaking. The principles of appreciative inquiry provided a framework for data analysis. Findings: In using appreciative inquiry methodology, emergency nurses were able to envision a preferred future based on what people value and what matters in approaches to care. Generativity enabled them to visualise what it would take to bring this new way of nursing to reality. Conclusion: Creative methods, when maximised, can be powerful tools in reframing narratives and helping practitioners to transcend the rut that perpetuates the status quo and obscures hope of future improvement. Generation of new insights and perspectives is critical to identifying and developing strategies for practice enhancement. Implications for practice: Generativity is an underexplored concept yet it has the potential to help practitioners to see things with new eyes Patient and/or family member stories play an important part in practice development, to determine what matters and is valued in enhancing experiences of care Finding ways to integrate the relational aspects of care provides a mechanism for nurses to articulate their skills and contribution in highly technical and task-orientated clinical environments

Published: November 2020

Background: Small Acts of Friendship is a project to help make the experiences of older people in an acute NHS hospital more humane. Aim: This research aims to explore how the project encourages human flourishing on wards for older people, using Dewing and McCormack’s (2017) model. We cover the barriers and emotions brought up by such a project, as well as looking for evidence of flourishing and a flourishing workplace. Methods: The qualitative method of experience-based co-design was used to set up and evaluate the project. Data consisted of interviews and observations with staff, relatives and patients involved in the project, and were analysed using comics as a tool for an iterative, deep analysis. Results: The results show how staff and patients responded to the project; the responses have been aligned to stages of Dewing and McCormack’s model. In one area the Small Acts of Friendship project was found to have resulted in a change in culture towards person-centred care. Implications for practice: Reflecting on the project brought out emotions that might ordinarily remain under the surface of practice for staff who look after older people, so they may need to be supported Hospital wards for older people can make changes towards a flourishing workplace through a project such as this
Factors that influence social dignity in persons with aphasia in their contact with healthcare professionals: a systematic literature review of qualitative studies
Authors:   University of South-Eastern Norway, Vestfold, Norway, Vallumrød Signe , Johannessen Aud ,   Vestfold Hospital Trust, Vestfold, Norway., Lyberg Anne ,   University of South-Eastern Norway, Vestfold, Norway
Published: November 2020

Background: Persons living with aphasia have unique needs and challenges that would benefit from greater understanding among all health professionals. Aim: To explore which factors influence social dignity in persons with aphasia in their contact with healthcare professionals. Methods: A literature search was conducted in CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, PSYCINFO, ProQuest, Web of Science, ERIC and Epistemonikos. A total of 317 studies were read and eight were finally included. Qualitative content analysis methods were applied for data extraction and interpretation. Results: One overarching theme emerged: enabling person-centred communication among healthcare professionals. This covered two main themes – the experiences of empathy and of empowerment. The first of these is based on the subthemes of openness and awareness of feelings, and being acknowledged as a unique person. The second covers three subthemes: involvement in care and rehabilitation; capacity building to gain control and confidence in communication; and enabling communication in community aphasia groups. Conclusions: Healthcare professionals’ ability to safeguard the social dignity of persons with aphasia is contingent on enabling them to communicate in a person-centred manner. Without such communication, persons with aphasia may perceive that their feelings, uniqueness, involvement and confidence are being disregarded. Implications for practice: Outcomes for persons with aphasia are potentially better when healthcare professionals involve them empathetically and empower them in communication To promote person-oriented communication with persons with moderate or severe aphasia, healthcare professionals need to learn tailored skills from competent speech therapists Persons with aphasia and healthcare professionals require a supportive organisational environment for person-centred care. Without such support persons with aphasia are often not empowered to participate in communication

Published: November 2020

Background and context: Patient safety protocols in mental health are often given less importance than they merit. Procedures to enhance the culture of safety in mental health facilities can benefit not only patients and their families, but also providers and administrators. The Patient Safety Movement Foundation’s Actionable Patient Safety Solutions around mental health highlight the importance of tools such as collaborative care planning and comfort care kits. Aim: This article aims to provide an insight into patient and clinician experiences using the collaborative care planning and comfort kits outlined in Actionable Patient Safety Solutions. Conclusions: Collaborative care planning and the development of elements such as comfort care kits have the potential to improve patient experiences, outcomes and safety. From the organisational point of view, Actionable Patient Safety Solutions have the potential to improve cost effectiveness and structural efficiency. Implications for practice: Collaborative care planning has been shown to reduce the incidence of patients harm and suicide It is low cost and can easily be tailored to specific contexts There is significant potential for a reduction in organisational inefficiencies, clinically, structurally, and financially with the adoption of a collaborative care planning model Understanding the firsthand perspectives of patients and clinicians themselves can offer significant insight for implementation in other settings

Published: November 2020

Objetivos: La sarcopenia se encuentra ampliamente distribuida alrededor del mundo. La prevalencia de esta, en personas mayores de 60 años, es de 5-13%, y se incrementa a un 50,0% en personas mayores de 80 años. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la relación entre sarcopenia y mortalidad en personas de 60 años en adelante en un hospital del Callao entre el año 2010 al 2015. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio cohorte retrospectivo en la consulta externa del servicio de geriatría del Centro Médico Naval "Cirujano Mayor Santiago Távara" desde el año 2010 al 2015. La mortalidad se definió con el informe de defunción y sarcopenia fue definida bajo los criterios del Consenso Europeo de Sarcopenia. Para el análisis bivariariado, se utilizaron las pruebas de Log Rank y el análisis multivariado fue realizado a través de un modelo de regresión de Cox. Resultados: De un total de 1447 participantes reclutados, 59.16% fueron hombres con una edad media de 78.48 ± 8.52 años. La prevalencia de sarcopenia fue de 19.07%, la mortalidad, en el 1° año, fue de 2.21% y en el 2° año fue de 5.39%. En el modelo bivariado, se encontró una mayor prevalencia de mortalidad en sarcopénicos en el 2° año en comparación con el 1° año. Por último, en el modelo multivariado, encontramos mayor riesgo de morir a los 2 años HR 4.21 (95% IC 2.69 – 6.57) en comparación con el riesgo de morir al año HR 4.95 (95% IC 2.47 – 9.92). Conclusiones: La sarcopenia tiene una alta prevalencia en población adulta mayor. En nuestro estudio, encontramos que existe una relación entre sarcopenia y mortalidad. Además, encontramos asociación entre sarcopenia y, el sexo masculino y la edad avanzada, esto se puede explicar por cambios degenerativos en el músculo esquelético. El seguimiento a los dos años muestra una mayor asociación entre mortalidad y sarcopenia que el seguimiento al año, esto es debido a que el tiempo transcurrido incrementa la cronicidad de la enfermedad.

Published: November 2020

Cameroon harvests a considerable volume of round wood each year, only a small part of which is used for manufactured products. In recent decades, various charcoal-making initiatives have emerged around industrial timber-processing units, particularly in the eastern region, in order to develop a market for residual biomass. However, the undifferentiated use of these residues obtained from different species often results in products with varying energy potential that are not always appreciated by consumers. Moreover, the physical and chemical characteristics of the charcoal produced are unknown, as are the factors that influence its quality. The aim of this study was to assess the variability of the physical and chemical properties of charcoal produced from industrial sawmill residues in the eastern region of Cameroon using different carbonisation techniques. Three wood species, Ayous, Frake and Movingui, and three types of kilns (traditional, improved traditional and Casamance system) were used. For each species, three bundles of five pieces of wood each were prepared, with an initial moisture content ranging from 28% to 36%. The physical and chemical properties determined were moisture content, apparent density, volatile matter content, fixed carbon content, ash content and Higher Heating Value (HHV). Our results showed that the charcoal properties varied depending on the wood species and types of kilns used. Movingui, with the highest density (0.73 g/cm3), produced charcoal with the lowest moisture content (4.03%) and the highest apparent density (0.42 g/cm3). The lowest volatile matter content (20.32%), the lowest ash content (1.27%) and the highest fixed carbon content (74.95%) were also obtained with this species. All these values were obtained with Movingui charcoal produced with the Casamance system. However, the highest HHV (32.51 MJ/kg) was obtained with charcoal from Ayous, also produced with the Casamance system. On comparing the three charcoaling systems used, the Casamance model yielded the best physical and chemical charcoal properties. All the charcoals studied complied with FAO standards for cooking fuel. The highest HHV obtained with charcoal from Ayous hardwood shows its ability to release large amounts of thermal energy during combustion.

Published: November 2020

Saba senegalensis (A. DC.) Pichon est une liane ligneuse de la famille des Apocynaceae. Elle est aussi appelée liane goïne. Les produits forestiers non ligneux obtenus à partir de cette espèce ont une grande importance socio-économique au Burkina Faso. Cependant, les caractéristiques démographiques de l’espèce sont peu connues bien que nécessaires pour mettre en place des programmes de gestion durable. La présente étude a pour objectif d’évaluer les caractéristiques démographiques de S. senegalensis suivant le gradient climatique au Burkina Faso. Un échantillonnage aléatoire orienté a conduit à installer des placeaux de 1 000 m2 pour l’inventaire des populations. Les mesures dendrométriques ont concerné le diamètre de la tige au collet et à 1,30 m du sol pour les individus adultes et les diamètres à 20 cm du sol et au collet, respectivement pour les jeunes plants et les plantules. L’indice de Green, la densité, le diamètre moyen des tiges et la surface terrière ont été calculés et comparés entre les zones climatiques. Les résultats ont montré une distribution agrégative de S. senegalensis révélée par l’indice de Green. La densité, le diamètre moyen et la surface terrière ont varié significativement (p < 0,05) entre les zones climatiques. Les fortes densités des sujets adultes de S. senegalensis se trouvent dans les zone sahélienne et soudanienne. Le modèle linéaire généralisé montre que la température et les précipitations ont une influence sur l’établissement de la régénération de S. senegalensis. La structure démographique a révélé une abondance de juvéniles qui représentent un important potentiel de renouvellement des populations. S. senegalensis montre une certaine résilience de ses populations ; mais, du fait de la péjoration climatique et de la pression anthropique, la conservation de l’espèce dans son habitat naturel reste aléatoire.
Towards better estimates of carbon stocks in Borneo's logged-over Dipterocarp forests
Authors: ROZAK Andes Hamuraby
Published: November 2020

Tropical forests are a major reservoir of biodiversity and carbon (C), playing a pivotal role in global ecosystem function and climate regulation. However, most tropical forests, especially Borneo's forests in Southeast Asia, are under intense pressure and threatened by human activities such as logging, mining, agriculture and conversion to industrial plantations. Selective logging is known to reduce both above- and below-ground biomass by removing selected large trees, while increasing deadwood stocks through collateral logging damage and creating large gaps in the canopy. The extent of incidental damage, canopy opening and the rate of C recovery were shown to be primarily related to logging intensity. This thesis assesses the long-term effects of logging intensity on five main C pools in Dipterocarp forests in northern Borneo (Malinau District, North Kalimantan) along a logging intensity gradient ranging from 0 to 57% of initial biomass removed in 1999/2000. Our results showed that total C stocks 16 years after logging ranged from 218-554 Mg C/ha with an average of 314 Mg C/ha. A difference of 95 Mg C/ha was found between low logging intensity (< 2.1% of initial biomass lost) and high logging intensity (> 19%). Most C (approx. 77%) was found in living trees, followed by soil (15%), deadwood (6%) and a small fraction in litter (1%). The imprint of logging intensity was still detectable 16 years after logging. Logging intensity was thus shown to be the main driver explaining the reduction of AGC>20, BGC>20, in deadwood and total C stocks and an increase in deadwood. Our results quantify the long-term effects of logging on forest C stocks, especially in AGC and deadwood. High logging intensity (50% reduction of initial biomass) reduced total C stocks by 27%. AGC recovery was lower in high logging intensity plots, suggesting lowered forest resilience to logging. Our study showed that keeping logging intensity below 20% of the initial biomass can limit the long-term effects of logging on AGC and deadwood stocks.

Desplazamientos desde las pedagogías feministas: reflexiones posibles para un ejercicio docente situado
Authors: Montenegro-González Catalina , Corvalán-Navia Alejandra Paz
Published: November 2020

El presente artículo indaga y reflexiona sobre aspectos relevantes presentesen las pedagogías feministas, como forma de propiciar la transformación de espacios de aprendizaje, alejados del pensamiento hegemónico patriarcal. Estas reflexiones emergen desde los movimientos sociales de 2018 definidos por los medios de comunicación como mayo feminista en Chile. Comenzamos a hacernos preguntas sobre cómo los feminismos permean a la sociedad y a la pedagogía en un contexto latinoamericano-chileno y donde las estructuras sociales, culturales y políticas están siendo remecidas frente al cuestionamiento de una sistemaeducativo que no va en sintonía de las necesidades de la ciudadanía.Con lo anterior, se toman algunas conceptualizaciones del pensamiento feminista latinoamericano y el feminismo de la diferencia sexual, para re-pensar los territorios educativos.Es así como este articulo indaga en las dinámicas del aprendizaje y se busca poner en valor aspectos relevantes para pensar las escuelas alejadas de prácticas discriminatorias, sexistas y marginadoras.De esta forma emergen las ideas de experiencias como procesos de vivencia compartida con otras-os, los contextos diversos para pensar pedagogías significativas, las propias narrativas y la consideración de un aprendizaje colaborativo y de relaciones amorosas, siendo estas últimas una práctica constante en el quehacer de las movilizaciones feministas ocurridas enChile durante mayo del 2018 y desde donde se abordan estos últimos planteamientos.Este trabajo es una invitación a visualizar nuevas formas de aprendizaje, desde la consideración de la singularidad y las trayectorias vitales para la construcción del conocimiento.

Antes del sexo. La construcción de la fantasía pornográfica en el género gonzo
Authors: Martín Sanz Álvaro
Published: November 2020

La pornografía ha sido y es objeto de crítica por parte de diversas corrientesfeministas debido a la cosificación y violencia a las que a menudo se somete al género femenino. Es evidente el profundo rechazo que suscitan algunas de sus representaciones debido al contenido denigrante que se produce desde una perspectiva masculina. El presente artículo parte de la hipótesis de que este tipo de contenidos inherentes a las escenas sexuales de la pornografía se encuentran ya presentes en las escenas prepornográficas que anteceden a aquellas que muestran el acto sexual. Así, se realiza una aproximación a distintas representaciones de la pornografía gonzo, también conocida como POV, para plantear cómo el elemento de cosificación del cuerpo femenino, así como las relaciones de poder hombre-mujer que se dan dentro de la secuencia pornográfica, están ya presentes en los preliminares de esta. Bajo este patrón común, se establece una división de los distintos tipos de planteamiento de losque se sirven las secuencias prepornográficas del gonzo de cara a facilitar tanto la creación del objeto pornográfico como tal, como la preparación del espectador, masculino por lo general, para el consumo de un tipo de imágenes a las que ya está habituado.

A Review on the Technology of Size Reduction Equipment
Authors: Kumar A. , Yedhu Krishnan R.
Published: November 2020

Size reduction or comminution is among the most comprehensively used unit
operation of widespread application in chemical and other related industries. Subjugation of the
materials to stress and consequent reduction in the size of larger solid units into smaller or finer
unit masses is called as comminution. The transmission of stress is through the application of
mechanical force to the larger solid unit. The most common methods utilized in industries
include the use of crushers and mills. The concept of comminution is not novel as it has been
utilized by man since time immemorial. Even though many different size reduction machines
are available currently the key is the knowledge on the properties of the material to be
processed. Size reduction offers advantages like increased surface area and separation of
entrapped components.

El enemigo invisible: la sensibilización ante las enfermedades mentales a través de los videojuegos
Authors: Paredes Otero Guillermo
Published: November 2020

La estigmatización del individuo que padece una enfermedad mental es frecuente en la sociedad. Unos prejuicios ejercidos desde los ámbitos familiares, educativos y profesionales y donde la imagen, asociada a la violencia y la agresividad, con la que reflejan los medios de comunicación, incluidos los videojuegos, a los pacientes mentales, no ayuda a la comprensión real de trastornos como la depresión, la esquizofrenia, o la ansiedad.
En este contexto, los videojuegos serios o serious games ofrecen una representación alternativa desde los que mostrar una imagen de estas enfermedades más cercana a la realidad, buscando al mismo tiempo sensibilizar y la empatía del usuario.
A través del análisis narrativo realizado a tres videojuegos -The Town of Light, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice y Celeste- con esta investigación se pretende averiguar qué herramientas se emplean en el ocio interactivo para concienciar sobre un problema social que afecta a millones de personas en la actualidad.
La crítica al presente desde el futuro en The Last of us

Published: November 2020

The Last of Us realiza una crítica a nuestra sociedad presente desde un futuro apocalíptico que sucederá dentro de unos treinta años. A diferencia de videojuegos como Detroit Become Human, que critican nuestro futuro desde uno más lejano, o Grand Theft Auto IV, que analiza con severidad nuestro presente desde uno ficcionado pero siendo también presente, el videojuego de Naughty Dog habla de nuestro hoy desde un mañana en el que todo ha salido mal. Para hacerlo, Ellie, una niña nacida tras el apocalipsis, estudia nuestra era mediante objetos de cultura pop, diarios y carteles que encuentra. Le pregunta sobre ellos a Joel, que ha vivido en nuestro tiempo, para poder sacar conclusiones. Estudiamos cómo este videojuego asume que todo ha salido mal y cómo lo expresa a través de su narración.

Authors: Asogwa Ikechukwu , Onyegbulam Lilian A.
Published: November 2020

To bring to the fore the aim of this research, effects of fluctuating temperature, was measured against food and nutrition security in the region using food production index, and undernourished population growth rate as proxies; controlled over share of arable land, irrigation, population and labour share for agriculture. Dynamic panel of generalized method of moments (GMM) was adopted, the period 2000 to 2016 were considered and 29 countries in sub-Sahara Africa were selected within the empirical framework of global water balance as mentioned by Rai and Singh (2012). Findings from the study reveals that the short run effect of temperature increase in degrees pose at least -3.1% negative and significant impact effects on the food production while the long run elasticity hits -7.5% and the controlled effect on arable land revealed a positive impact on the food production to the tune of 3.9%. Contrarily, arable land expansion reduces the under nourished population by -8.55%. Population increase on the other hand increases undernourished population in the region to the tune of 11.95%. The study therefore recommended expansion in the arable land and encourages population control policy in order to negate the undesired effects of temperature on food and nutritional security.

This study investigated the prevalence and severity of depression, anxiety, and stress and determined the association between various factors, social support, and depression and anxiety among university healthcare workers in Malaysia after the government lifted the movement control order (MCO) put in place to curb the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This online, cross-sectional survey recruited 399 participants from two university hospitals, and they were administered a self-reported questionnaire on demographic, personal, and clinical characteristics; COVID-19-related stressors; and coping. In addition, they completed the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) to measure perceived social support, as well as the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to assess depression, anxiety, and stress. We found that the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress were 21.8%, 31.6%, and 29.1%, respectively. Participants with moderate to extremely severe depression, anxiety, and stress made up 13.3%, 25.8%, and 8.1% of the sample, respectively. Being single or divorced, fear of frequent exposure to COVID-19 patients, those who agreed that their area of living had a high prevalence of COVID-19 cases, and uncertainty regarding the prevalence of COVID-19 cases in the area of living were associated with higher odds of depression and anxiety. Conversely, having more than three children and greater perceived friend support were associated with lower odds of depression and anxiety. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress remained elevated even after the MCO was lifted.
Data Types and the Phylogeny of Neoaves
Authors: Braun Edward L. , Kimball Rebecca T.
Published: November 2020

The phylogeny of Neoaves, the largest clade of extant birds, has remained unclear despite intense study. The difficulty associated with resolving the early branches in Neoaves is likely driven by the rapid radiation of this group. However, conflicts among studies may be exacerbated by the hypothesis that relationships are sensitive to the data type analyzed. For example, analyses of coding exons typically yield trees that place Strisores (nightjars and allies) sister to the remaining Neoaves, while analyses of non-coding data typically yield trees where Mirandornites (flamingos and grebes) is the sister of the remaining Neoaves. Our understanding of data type effects is hampered by the fact that previous analyses have used different taxa, loci, and types of non-coding data. Herein, we provide strong corroboration of the data type effects hypothesis for Neoaves by comparing trees based on coding and non-coding data derived from the same taxa and gene regions. A simple analytical method known to minimize biases due to base composition (coding nucleotides as purines and pyrimidines) resulted in coding exon data with increased congruence to the non-coding topology using concatenated analyses. These results improve our understanding of the resolution of neoavian phylogeny and point to a challenge - data type effects - that is likely to be an important factor in phylogenetic analyses of birds (and many other taxonomic groups). Using our results, we provide a summary phylogeny that identifies well-corroborated relationships and highlights specific nodes where future efforts should focus.
General Equilibrium Theory in Economics And Beyond
Authors: Rilwan Mohamad , Wijeratne Agra T.
Published: November 2020

The General equilibrium theory tries to show how and why all free markets tend toward equilibrium in the long run. However, what is meant by equilibrium in this paper is more from a thermodynamical point of view. In order to understand the actual situation, it is necessary to study open systems which are complex. In physics, such a behavior in a complex system can be explain by using Non Equilibrium Thermodynamics. A system is able to self-organize and sustain itself away from equilibrium. Economic systems may fluctuate around a particular point. To sustain it far from the equilibrium state, it needs to degrade more energy and materials. In this study, the energy consumption patterns of Sri Lanka and USA are discussed. The pattern concerning Sri Lanka is close to the model proposed here, whereas the energy consumption pattern of USA is more complicated due to external factors.
Prevalence and Correlates of Hazardous, Harmful, or Dependent Alcohol Use and Drug Use Among Persons 15 Years and Older in South Africa: Results of a National Survey in 2017
Authors: Pengpid Supa , Peltzer Karl , Ramlagan Shandir
Published: November 2020

The study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of hazardous, harmful or dependent alcohol use (HHDA) and drug use among persons 15 years and older in South Africa. In a national cross-sectional 2017 survey, 39,210 persons 15 years and older (Median=34 years) responded to a questionnaire on substance and health variables. Logistic regression was used to assess the determinants of HHDA and any drug use. Results indicate that (10.3%) engaged HHDA, 16.5% among males and 4.6% among females, and past 3-month drug use was 8.6%, 13.3% among males and 4.1% among females. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, among men, middle age (25-34 year olds), higher education, urban residence, drug use, and psychological distress were positively and Indian or Asian and White population groups were negatively associated with HHDA. Among women, middle age (25-34 year olds), Coloureds, residing on rural farms and urban areas, drug use and psychological distress were positively and older age (55 years and older), and Indians or Asians were negatively associated with HHDA. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, among men, having Grade 8-11 education, Coloureds, being unemployed, and HHDA were positively and middle and older age (25 years and older) and being a student or learner were negatively associated with past 3-month any drug use. Among women, Coloureds, Indians or Asians, and HHDA were positively and older age (45 years and older) was negatively associated with past 3-month and drug use. About one in ten participants engaged HHDA and any drug use, and several sociodemographic and health indicators were identified associated with HHDA and any drug use.
Anisotropic RANS Turbulence Modeling for Wakes in an Active Ocean Environment
Authors: Wall Dylan , Paterson Eric
Published: November 2020

The problem of simulating wakes in a stratified oceanic environment with active background turbulence is considered. Anisotropic RANS turbulence models are tested against laboratory and eddy-resolving models of the problem. An important aspect of our work is to acknowledge that the environment is not quiescent; therefore, additional sources are included in the models to provide a non-zero background turbulence. The RANS models are found to reproduce some key features from the eddy-resolving and laboratory descriptions of the problem. Tests using the freestream sources show the intuitive result that background turbulence causes more rapid wake growth and decay.
MicroRNAs as the Promising Markers of Comorbidities in Childhood Obesity – A Systematic Review
Authors: Hutny Michał , Hofman Jagoda , Zachurzok Agnieszka , Matusik Paweł
Published: November 2020

Rising child obesity rate creates a need for tools quantifying metabolic changes in obese children and adolescents for purposes of comorbidities early detection or prevention. A candidate for such role seem to be miRNAs – in vivo serving as the suppressing factors of the gene expression. The aim of this study was to review the recent discoveries in this field and to conclude directions of research or application of studied molecules. Repeated browsing of databases, followed by screening for eligibility of results, led to final approval of 9 articles. Filtered studies examined the differences in miRNA (miR) expression levels of obese subjects and children suffering from obesity comorbidities. Studies concerning the endothelial dysfunction (ED) identified miR-630 as a possible treatment option. Search for the alternative markers in diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) suggested value of miR-199a-5p and miR-122. MiR-486, miR-146b and miR-15b may serve as a panel of markers grading the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children, although further research raised doubts in that matter. Another panel of miRNA molecules was indicated as useful in early detection of alterations leading to metabolic syndrome (MetS). No valid link between studied miRNAs and atherosclerosis (AS) was found. MiRNAs seem to be promising prognostic markers for the diagnosis of NAFLD, T2DM and MetS in children. Further studies are required to support these findings.
Deterministic Sampling from Uniform Distributions with Sierpinski Space-Filling Curves
Authors: Aguiar e O. Jr Hime
Published: November 2020

In this paper the problem of sampling from uniform probability distributions is approached by means of space-filling curves (SFCs), a topological concept that has found a number of important applications in recent years. Departing from the theoretical fact that they are surjective but not necessarilly injective, the investigation focused upon the structure of the distributions obtained when their domain is swept in a uniform and discrete manner, and the corresponding values used to build histograms, that are approximations of their true PDFs. This work concentrates on the real interval [0,1], and the Sierpinski space-filling curve was chosen because of its favorable computational properties. In order to validate the results, the Kullback-Leibler distance is used when comparing the obtained distributions in several levels of granularity with other already established sampling methods. In truth, the generation of uniform random numbers is a deterministic simulation of randomness using numerical operations. In this fashion, sequences resulting from this sort of process are not truly random.
